"Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink."

So said the line in the old poem, and it was an ironic fact for any town situated on the coast. Although water dominated the landscape of Neo Domino, it was seawater, and wasn't drinkable. Coastal towns needed to get their water supply from inland, more often than not.

As Jinx drove her D-Wheel to the concrete dike that surrounded the reservoir, located two miles out of town, she couldn't help but think this was unusual.

She took off her helmet and looked at the large, manmade expanse of water.

Not exactly the place I'd expect to find Soth, she thought. Seems more like...

As if to answer her, a spout of water shot up in front of her...

Menzoberra stepped out of the lake, clearly not very happy. She brushed herself off, as if to get some grime off of herself.

"So..." she said. "You actually drink this stuff?"

Jinx glared at her.

"Well, we were toying with the idea of filling the reservoir with Aquafina," she said, sarcastically, "but that idea was turned down in favor of putting sushi bars in the subway stations."

She frowned.

"Where's Soth?"

"Oh, come on Noriko," said Menzoberra, as her Duel Disk appeared on her arm. "Do you really want to duel that big lug instead of me? I'd think you'd jump at the chance for a little 'girl talk'..."

"More than likely," said Jinx, "you guys just didn't want to be trounced a second time, so you swapped targets.

"Well, I'm not afraid to face you or your Frogs. Bring it on..."

She stepped off her bike, and activated her Disk.

"Duel!" they both shouted.

(Jinx: 8,000) - - - - - - - - - - (Menzoberra: 8,000)

"I draw one card..." said Menzoberra, making a draw.

She took three cards from her hand, and set them in her Disk. Three reversed cards appeared.

"I end my turn."

Jinx gave a funny look.

"What?" asked Menzoberra. "Something you didn't understand?"

"No Monsters to summon?" asked Jinx.

"Maybe, maybe not," replied Menzoberra. "You're just going to have see for yourself."

Jinx narrowed her eyes. She made a draw.

"You're not going to fool me with mind games!" she exclaimed.

"I summon X-Saber Urz!"

With a bellow, the demonic-looking Warrior clad in furs appeared in front of her, holding his two scimitars. (1,600 ATK)

"Get her!" she shouted.

Urz leapt at Menzoberra. She blocked the blow from his sword with her bracelet, but still took three steps backwards.

(J: 8,000) - - - - - - - - - - (M: 6,400)

"Seems you were bluffing," said Jinx.

Menzoberra lowered her veil, and grinned wickedly at Jinx.

"No I wasn't," she chuckled, as one of her facedown cards lifted up. "It cost me 1,600 Life Points, but that direct attack enabled me to activate Wolf in Sheep's Clothing.

"The first thing I do is show you a Level 1 Monster in my hand..."

She flipped a card in her hand around.

"That's a... Mokey Mokey?" said Jinx.

"It sure is!" laughed Menzoberra. "And now I get to summon it, along with another one from my deck."

In two showers of pixie dust, two little creatures that looked like marshmallows with faces, stubby limbs, small wings, and question marks on top, appeared in front of Menzoberra.

"Mokey-Mokey!" they both squeaked. (300 ATK x2)

Ho boy... thought Jinx.

She looked at her hand.

"I... have to end my turn..."

Menzoberra replaced the veil, and drew a card.

"Ready, Noriko?" she asked. "Because Key Mace certainly is..."

She played a card, and a small Fairy wearing a blue and yellow harlequin outfit holding a staff shaped like a key appeared. (400 ATK)

"Then, I use my secret weapon..."

She fit a card into her Disk.

"The Continuous Spell Card, Mokey Mokey Smackdown."

The Spell Card was both intimidating and funny at the same time. It showed a picture of an incredibly angry Mokey Mokey, its face red and its question mark changed to an exclamation point.

Jinx knew how this worked... If a Fairy was destroyed, the Attack Scores of all Mokey Mokeys controlled by Menzoberra would become 3,000 for the rest of the turn... It was a powerful and deadly strategy.

"Key Mace, attack X-Saber Urz!" shouted Menzoberra.

The small Fairy flew at the Beast-Warrior, but he simply swatted it aside with a backhand slap, smashing it to pixels.

Then the two Mokey Mokeys freaked out. They quickly morphed into the Mokey Mokey on the Spell Card. (3,000 ATK x2)

"Attack Urz!" shouted Menzoberra. "Infinite Anger Burst!"

The first Mokey Mokey let out a scream, and the Warrior exploded into shards.

Then the second Mokey Mokey let out another scream, and Jinx hollered as she was knocked over onto her back.

(J: 3,600) - - - - - - - - - - (M: 5,200)

"Of course," said Menzoberra, "the effects of the card only last until the end of the turn. So I'll activate this now..."

One of her facedown cards lifted up.

"Destruct Potion. By destroying one of my Mokey Mokeys with this card when it has 3,000 Attack Points, I gain 3,000 Life Points. Seems I'm back up to full power."

One of the Mokey Mokeys shattered. Jinx pulled herself up.

"And now, my last Trap..." said Menzoberra, as her final facedown card lifted up. "The dreaded Human-Wave Tactics!

"This Continuous Trap allows me to Special Summon one Monster at the end of each turn for each Level 2 or lower Normal Monster that was destroyed by battle that turn. Of course, the Monsters I summon also have to be Level 2 or lower Normal Monsters.

"So... I'll end my turn, and summon my third Mokey Mokey."

A third of the cubical Fairies materialized, as the first one calmed down. (100 DEF)

(J: 3,600) - - - - - - - - - - (M: 8,200)

"I just gotta ask..." said Jinx. "Why the heck did you choose Mokey Mokeys as a weapon?"

"What?" said Menzoberra. "You were expecting some enormous sea monster? Sometimes you can do just as well with small Monsters as you can do with big ones.

"Besides, Fish, Aquas, and Sea Serpents aren't my only passion, you know...

"You might say feel a bit of a rapport with Mokey Mokey..."

"How come?" asked Jinx.

Menzoberra tapped her Disk, and the cards in her Graveyard appeared in front of Jinx.

"Read what its flavor text says," she said.

Jinx looked closely, and read the text:

"An outcast angel. Nobody knows what he is thinking at all. Sometimes he gets mad, and that is dreadful."

"I don't get it..." said Jinx.

"I have sympathy for outcasts," said Menzoberra.

Jinx looked at her.

"You think you're an outcast?" she asked, in an annoyed tone. "What makes you an outcast? You and the rest of the Paragons killed the whole population of your planet!"

"I'm an outcast due to an older event than that, little girl," hissed Menzoberra, "an event that defined the whole history of my species!

"So even when we didn't agree with them, my people had something in common with anyone who had been cast out of society...

"Perhaps I'll tell you the specifics later... For now, it's your move..."

Jinx made a draw.

Got to do something to take out those Mokey Mokeys, she thought. At least she's limited to three.

"I summon X-Saber Galahad," she said.

The toad-like Warrior in armor, holding a long spear appeared. (1,800 ATK)

"Attack the Mokey Mokey in Attack Mode!" she shouted.

Galahad rushed at the small Fairy, and his Attack Score rose to 2,100. He speared the little creature, and Menzoberra winced a little.

(J: 3,600) - - - - - - - - - - (M: 6,400)

"I'll throw these facedown, and end my turn," she said, as two reversed cards appeared.

"And I activate the effect of Human-Wave Tactics," said Menzoberra, as thunder rumbled in the distance. "I think I'll bring out Happy Lover this time."

With a happy cry, a spherical Fairy with a big smile, feathered wings, and a heart on its forehead appeared. (800 ATK)

"Now, I draw," said Menzoberra, making a draw.

She played an odd Spell Card. It had an image of Goblin of Greed building Mokey Mokeys on an ominous-looking assembly line.

"Dark Factory of Mass Production?" asked Jinx.

"Not a very well-named card," said Menzoberra. "Factories build things... This card recovers things. It recovers two Normal Monsters from my Graveyard."

Two Mokey Mokeys slipped out of her discard slot. Menzoberra took them, and then played her last card.

"And now that I have them, I can play Polymerization!"

The three Mokey Mokeys turned into globes of light and swirled to together... A large shadow fell over Jinx...

She stepped back in fear as a colossal Mokey Mokey, the size of a large building, hovered in the air over her and Galahad!

"MOKEY-MOKEY!" boomed the Mokey Mokey King. (300 ATK)

"What does THAT thing do?" shouted Jinx.

"Well..." said Menzoberra. "What doesn't it do?"

She pointed, and Mokey Mokey King floated towards Galahad. His Attack Score fell to 1,300...

"Fight it off, Galahad!" shouted Jinx.

Galahad leapt up, and made a mighty swing with his pike. Mokey Mokey King's eyes bugged out, and the earth shook as the colossal Fairy exploded.

(J: 3,600) - - - - - - - - - - (M: 5,400)

"Not bad," said Menzoberra, "but when you deep-six Mokey Mokey King, I get to bring back the three regular Mokey Mokeys."

Jinx looked nervously as the dust cleared. Indeed, three regular Mokey Mokeys were sitting in front of Menzoberra. (300 ATK x3)

"Mokey-Mokey!" they squeaked. "Mokey-Mokey, Mokey-Mokey..."

"This is bad..." said Jinx.

"Happy Lover, attack Galahad with Happy Burning!" ordered Menzoberra.

The smiling cherub flew at Galahad and shot a stream of sparkling lights from its mouth. Galahad knocked them away with the back of his hand, and the Fairy shattered.

The Mokey Mokey Smackdown card glowed, and the three Mokey Mokeys became enraged once again. (3,000 ATK x3)

"Attack number one!" shouted Menzoberra.

The first Mokey Mokey let out its scream.

Then both of Jinx's facedown cards shot up. The first one was Draining Shield, and the Anger Burst was absorbed by the energy shield. The second was Emergency Provisions, which consumed Draining Shield immediately after.

"You're more durable than a vending machine," chuckled Menzoberra.

The second Mokey Mokey let out its scream, and Galahad shattered. Then the third hollered, and Jinx was knocked backwards.

(J: 2,900) - - - - - - - - - - (M: 4,900)

"I end my turn..." said Menzoberra. "And once again, due to the effect of Human-Wave Tactics..."

A second Happy Lover appeared, this time in Defense Mode. (500 DEF)

Jinx took some deep breaths.

She made a draw. Then she added it to her hand, and looked at her four cards: X-Saber Passiul, X-Saber Anabelera, Gatmuz's Urgent Orders, XX-Saber Reijigra.

I could attack one of her Mokey Mokeys with Anabelera, she thought.

But... On her turn, she'd have more than enough Life Points left to attack Anabelera with Happy Lover, triggering the Smackdown, and...

...beating me to a bloody pulp...

I could attack Happy Lover with Anabelera... But that would trigger Human-Wave Tactics, letting her summon a third Happy Lover, and...

Okay, attacking with Anabelera is a bad idea. I'll defend for now...

She took Passiul and set his card on her Disk. The reversed card appeared. Then she fit Gatmuz's Urgent Orders into her Disk, and it appeared facedown.

"Your move..." she said.

"I draw," said Menzoberra.

She drew a card. She looked at it.

"Pass," she said.

Jinx drew a card.

Got it! she thought, as the solution came to her.

"You like Level 1 Monsters?" she said, as she played a Spell Card. "Well, I like 'em too! And by playing One For One, I discard one Monster from my hand..."

She discarded Reijigra.

"...to Special Summon a Level 1 Monster from my deck."

X-Saber Axel appeared. (400 ATK)

"Next, I summon X-Saber Anabelera..."

The armored, female X-Saber appeared. (1,800 ATK)

"...and flip X-Saber Passiul into Attack Mode."

Her set Monster flipped up, and Passiul appeared, holding his sword aloft. (100 ATK)

"Then, I Tune Passiul and Anabelera together..."

The two X-Sabers flew into the sky, and turned into six glowing stars...

XX-Saber Hyunlei landed in a flourish, leveling her katana at Menzoberra and the four small Fairies. (2,300 ATK)

"GAH!" shouted Menzoberra.

She shielded herself as Mokey Mokey Smackdown and Human-Wave Tactics were both blown to shards.

"Next," said Jinx, "I activate Gatmuz's Urgent Orders!"

Her facedown card lifted up and Reijigra appeared (200 ATK) followed by Passiul. (100 ATK)

"Due to Reijigra, I can recover Galahad from my Graveyard..."

She took the card from her discard slot.

"And now, I Tune together Passiul, Reijigra, Axel, AND Hyunlei..."

The four X-Sabers soared into the sky. The three blazing suns appeared.

"Strength of legend, beauty beyond compare, entrusted by billions to carry their heritage, given the power unleashed at the moment of Creation! Mighty champion of a deceased race… Three suns aligned call forth an ancient force…

"Synchro Summon, Shannalla the Fierce!"

Shannalla landed with a crash, holding her mighty sword. (2,600 ATK)

"Now..." said Jinx, taking a card from her discard slot, "I'll remove Hyunlei from play, to boost Shannalla's Attack Score..."

She pocketed the card, and Shannalla glowed with energy. (4,900 ATK)

"Attack one of the Mokey Mokeys!" shouted Ember. "Destroy it!"

Shannalla made a savage slash with her blade, and Menzoberra was thrown backwards as the Mokey Mokey was blown to bits.

(J: 2,900) - - - - - - - - - - (M: 300)

"You've got only 300 Life Points left, and you've lost two key parts of your strategy," said Jinx. "Care to give up?"

"Never!" shouted Menzoberra, making a draw.

She played a card.

"I play Supremacy Berry!" she shouted, as a Spell Card appeared. "Since my Life Points are less than yours, I gain 2,000!"

She fit the card she had just drawn in her Disk, and a reversed card appeared.

Then she moved the cards on her Disk, and both Mokey Mokeys moved to Defense Mode. (100 DEF x2)

"I'm done for now..." she said.

(J: 2,900) - - - - - - - - - - (M: 2,300)

Jinx drew a card.

Hmm... she thought, looking at it. Klein's Labyrinth... Might come in handy later...

"Okay, sister, I'm setting this card facedown," she said, as she fit it into her Disk.

"Then I summon X-Saber Galahad again!"

Galahad appeared, looking somewhat pissed this time. (1,800 ATK)

"Galahad, Shannalla, take out those blasted Mokey Mokeys!"

The two Warriors charged at the two cubical Fairies, and with two slashes of blades, they were cut down.

"I end my turn, Menzoberra," she said. "Want to keep going?"

"Yes," said Menzoberra, making a draw.

She placed the card on her Disk, and a set Monster appeared.

She nodded.

"Lucky," said Jinx. "Well, you aren't the only one who can draw a Monster..."

She made a draw.

She frowned.

"Didn't draw one, did you?" said Menzoberra, who looked almost ready to laugh.

Actually, Jinx had; she had drawn XX-Saber Faultroll. But in order to summon him, she needed two X-Sabers on the field.

At least I can finish her Monsters... she thought.

Galahad charged at Happy Lover, and drove his spear through it, blowing it to shards.

Then Shannalla rushed at the facedown card.

Skelengel appeared on the card before being blown to bits.

"Thank you..." said Menzoberra, making a draw.

"Just make your move..." said Jinx.

Menzoberra made another draw.

"Oh, I certainly will..." she said.

Her facedown card lifted up.

"I activate Graceful Revival to bring back one Mokey Mokey from my Graveyard."

Mokey Mokey appeared again. (300 ATK)

"Then... I play Creature Seizure!"

"Creature Seizure?" said Jinx. "I've heard of Creature Swap, but..."

"Same idea," said Menzoberra, "except that the Monster I give you has to be a Normal Monster.

"So make a choice."

"I choose X-Saber Galahad!" said Jinx with a sneer.

The two Monsters vanished, and reappeared on the opposite sides of the field.

Menzoberra lowered her veil, and the evil smile was on her face again.

"Thanks..." she said. "I was kinda hoping you'd choose him..."

"Huh?" said Jinx.

Menzoberra played her last card, and Dark Tinker appeared next to Galahad. (1,000 ATK)

"A Tuner..." said Jinx. "You're Synchro Summoning?"

"That's right," said Menzoberra, as the two Monsters faded into six glowing stars. "You see, Noriko, some people on your planet say that the meek will inherit the Earth, but in all honesty, the meek can't do much unless they have a powerful and strong leader supporting them.

"That's probably why Communism never worked out the way Karl Marx intended it to...

"But back to the matter at hand... I Tune my Dark Tinker and your X-Saber Galahad together to Synchro Summon the Monster Meister."

With a hoarse roar, an eight-foot tall, hulking creature clothed in a wool jacket and a worn pair of trousers appeared in front of Menzoberra. The best thing to compare it to might have been the classic version of Frankenstein's Monster, but it lacked the scars and neck-bolts that Universal Studios had used in their iconic version.

"Let me explain how this creature's Attack Score is tallied," continued Menzoberra. "We take the weakest Monster on the field, Mokey Mokey, and subtract its Level from the Level of the strongest, which would be Shannalla. Then we multiply by 500.

"You do the math."

(4,500 ATK)

Good thing I still have Klein's Labyrinth... thought Jinx.

"Also," continued Menzoberra, "Monster Meister gains other powers depending on how much the difference is. Since it's at least eight, he can remove one card from play per turn."

Jinx almost laughed.

"You remove Shannalla from play," she said, "Monster Meister's Attack Score will fall to 2,500."

"I said card, not Monster," replied Menzoberra. "I'm going to use the effect on... that."

Monster Meister pointed to Klein's Labyrinth, and it vanished into nothing.

No... thought Jinx.

"Monster Meister..." ordered Menzoberra, "attack Mokey Mokey with burning blast!"

Monster Meister let out another hoarse roar, and blasted a bolt of burning lightning from its hand, blowing Mokey Mokey to pieces and knocking Jinx back five feet, not to mention on her back.

(J: 0) - - - - - - - - - - (M: 2,300)

When Jinx looked up, Menzoberra was standing over her.

"So, Noriko..." said the Paragon. "You like oysters?"

"Oysters?" asked Jinx. "Why?"

Then she gasped as Menzoberra grabbed her by the throat.

"You'll find out soon..." she replied.

Jinx quickly fell unconscious.

Menzoberra turned as a portal appeared in mid-air.

"Mission accomplished," she said into it.

She started dragging Jinx towards something she had prepared ahead of time...

Snakeskin Island.

At first, some would think that Hebi-Na would be stupid to come back here. After all, the Shadowchasers knew of this place's existence now, and this would likely be the first place they would look for her.

But Hebi-Na knew she had time. After all, the Shadowchasers knew this was a dangerous place, and were likely debating the best way to approach this island and deal with the hazards. She estimated she had at least a week before even a team of golems was sent here to check things out.

Hebi-Na was not in the palace right now. She was wandering thought a cave not far from it, where she hoped to find information from the water weird that lived here.

Elemental weirds were oracles, fonts of knowledge, who were bound to a certain spot in the mortal world by a pool of elemental matter. They usually made pacts with whoever lived in the local area, trading their knowledge for one thing or another.

Hebi-Na slithered into a cavern lit by luminous crystals, with a pool of water in the center. She carried a large satchel.

"Fallala?" she shouted. "Come out, I need to talk to you!"

No answer.

"Come on, I don't have all day!" she shouted.

She frowned.

She opened the satchel, and took out a can of motor oil.

"You want to play hardball, Fallala?" she asked.

She slithered up to the pool, and was about to pour the motor oil into it...

Then a watery hand shot out, and grabbed her hand.

The rest of the creature emerged. It looked like a shapely human female, made entirely of water.

"Just who do you think you are, Hebi-Na?" she asked. "You just violated our agreement. I could reduce your Empress's whole palace to a pile of rubble for what you just tried to do..."

"Fine," said Hebi-Na. "Taramanda is dead, and I'm sick of the place anyway.

"I just need information from you one more time, and then you'll never see another ophidia again."

Fallala put her hands on her hips.

"Well, being rid of you snakes would be a relief..." she said. "Fine... What do you need?"

Hebi-Na took out a slip of paper, on which she had drawn a picture of the demon guardian's axe.

"This axe belonged to a demon of some sort," she said. "He was big, muscular, and wore a metal mask over his face... Do you have any idea what he was?"

"Oh yeah..." said Fallala. "That would be a drekavac."

"Huh?" said Hebi-Na.

"A demon that is often summoned in the Slavic regions," replied Fallala. "Folklore there claims that they're the spirits of children that died without being baptized, but that's ridiculous... I mean, if that were the case, any of the historic plagues in that area of the world would have created armies of these things.

"They're demons, just like any other residents of the Abyss. It's as simple as that. Folks summon them to guard things. They're known for having big egos."

"That sounds like him," said Hebi-Na. "So... How many of them are on Earth now?"

"Well, let's see..." said Fallala.

A tome appeared in her hands.

"There's a mercane in Moscow who has one guarding his estate... There's a wizard in St. Petersburg who summoned one to guard the local bank at night... There's a dark elf sorceress in Omsk who..."

"Look, just tell me the ones who aren't in Russia," said Hebi-Na.

"Well, only one..." replied Fallala. "Says here that after Zero Reverse, a particularly powerful one was summoned to guard the back door to the Underworld."

"Back door?" asked Hebi-Na.

"Yes..." said Fallala. "Once with only a very small fraction of the power of the main entrance, that at the Old Momentum reactor. The King of the Underworld couldn't channel his power at all through this back door, it was such a small opening...

"But one thing it could be used for was transporting physical objects from the mortal world to the Underworld, and vice-versa."

"Paydirt..." said Hebi-Na, with a smile. "So who summoned this drekavac? Was it Rudger?"

"Well, let's see..." said Fallala.

She turned the page.

Shadowchaser Files

The Purifiers, Enemies of Diversity

Who are the Purifiers? That is a question that has haunted those that have heard of them, an organization that travels the multiverse, seeking out only one thing, the proven superiority of the white race. More or less, they are white supremacists, but it would be wrong to call them Nazis or Neo-Nazis, as they predate the founding of the Third Reich, or even of any German government. They may have been around before civilization even existed on Earth. Truly, among such groups, they were the first.

A very long time ago – exactly how long ago no one is entirely sure, possibly thousands of years, or maybe even millions (such time does not matter to such groups) – Morgana's Kin was much more overt in their actions. Entire fleets of their ships could be seen traveling through the multiverse, spreading their knowledge to whoever was willing to listen. But then, their operations stopped unexpectedly, members where called back to the Origin Universe, and no one was sure why.

What had happened was that they had found a universe ruled by a race whose technology nearly rivaled their own. This race had succeeded where the Nazis would one day fail, having exterminated all races deemed "inferior" to their civilization. Morgana's Kin had made the grave mistake of sharing their knowledge of the multiverse with these people, who would become known as the Purifiers, and the Purifiers would use that knowledge to spread their message of hate to other universes. It is entirely possible that they are connected to the Upholders (as seen in Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's: Dragon Lords) in some way, perhaps their military arm or something.

Morgana's Kin and the Purifiers have clashed on many occasions. They are sworn enemies, simply because of the all-female structure of Morgana's Kin. The Purifiers believe such a structure promotes homosexuality, which, like most similar groups, they believe to be a crime against nature.

While so far the Purifiers have never reached the Earth dimension, their principles have been a threat to Shadowkind in other universes. Out of possibly the strangest irony, their arrival in a Shadowkind-inhabited universe unites Shadows and humans more than anything else, to fight a common enemy.

Story Ideas: The Purifiers, while having the technology to move between universes, are a hate-group, plain and simple. They believe in the subjugation, if not eradication of all groups they believe to be inferior to them, and this includes Shadowkind. They are also likely to show up in any fanfic that involves Morgana's Kin.

Their arrival in the Shadowchasers universe would definitely merit attention from the Shadowchasers. While they have yet to encounter any other Shadowchaser organizations (there are likely many in the multiverse), they will most likely become their enemies as well because of the alliance with Morgana's Kin. It is possible that this was also the reason that Morgan made that alliance in the first place.

There are even rumors that they have some ties to a Shadowkind deity. The mad god of tyranny Cyric is the most likely suspect. Cyric was once a mortal king who hated all races other than humans (which was likely what he was) and his ego was legendary. When he ascended to godhood (after stealing divine power) he created a powerful magical book, which would cause anyone who read it to believe everything it said, compelling him to worship Cyric as the most supreme god in existence. His plan was to trick other gods into reading it; but he made the fatal mistake of reading it himself. Developing an unfathomable superiority complex and questionable sanity, and believing himself to be the only true god, he now directs his followers to stamp out all beings not worthy of being in his presence, which results in his dogma being one of hate.

Deck Ideas: The Purifiers don't normally duel, but if it ever does become necessary, because of their militaristic tendencies, they'd probably use Warriors or certain types of Machines. B.E.S. Monsters or Machiners are possible, and a few high-ranking members might even have a copy of Air Fortress Ziggurat.

The Purifiers are a creation of fanfic author Ruin, Queen of Oblivion.
