GPK: Welcome! Were about to start the next chapter. But I don't own Yu-gi- oh, and I never will. Chibi Yami: 'tied down' Yugi: 'sleeping' Seto and ESGP: 'playing duel monsters.' GPK: Well all's set so let's start!

Kings of Valdor: The Quest Begins (chapter 3).

"Yug, today's the day." "Today's the day I set out to defeat Gozaburo Kaiba." "Well let's go!" The three fifteen-year-olds jump on their horses. Tristan is wearing a light brown cloak, leather armor, cloth shirt and pants, and is carrying a sword on his belt. Joey is dressed the same, except he has a green cloak. Yugi has a gray tunic, a plate-mail breastplate with a Dark Magician painted on it, and a black cloak. He also has a rapier tucked into his belt. All three have lumps in their pockets, obviously where their decks are kept. "Hey, Yug. Why do ya have a Dark Magician painted on your breastplate?" "Because, Joey, it's not only my favorite card, but also a symbol of the Muto Kingdom." "Oh, okay." "Come on you guys, we have a long ride ahead of us." With that the three friends set out with the sun a their backs. "You are really pathetic," Bakura said to Ryou, "you think that by defeating duelists will prove yourself to me! Ha, you need to steal a Millennium Item to prove yourself." "Back in the ring you go," Ryou said forcing Bakura back into the ring. //Ryou, you will never defeat another duelist// /Shut up/ //No// Ryou started out to defeat the only undefeated duelist in the world, Gozaburo Kaiba. Sword clashed upon sword as Malik Ishtar fought back the raiders who were attacking the town he and his sister lived in. "You may be better at handling a sword, but you have no idea what I'm capable of. I'm a duelist you fools, and I summon the power of the Vorse Raider! An attack power of 1900 is strong enough to defeat you! Vorse Raider, Raid Charge!" The large monster charged at the attackers and threw them into the sea. "Fools." "Malik! Help!" Isis cried from across the plaza. She was being attacked by three men with long-swords. "Millennium Golem, smash them!!" Malik's large stone creature raised its fist and came down upon the attackers, instantly flattening them. "Thanks Malik." "Not a problem, Isis." "You may have defeated my weakling men, but I shall defeat you!!" A large man followed by two boys, his sons, pulled out a deck. "So, you're a duelist. Then I will have to beat you. Go Vorse Raider!" "A weak card, in my eyes. Swordstalker, attack!" The large, black warrior attacked the Vorse Raider, destroying it. "I'll play a monster face-down in defense mode." "I'll play Blue Eyes White Dragon. White Lightning Attack!" The dragon's attack reduced Malik's face-down Millennium Golem to dust. "I play Dragon Capture Jar, which takes your Blue Eyes' attack points, and gives them to my Capture Jar. My Dragon Capture Jar is now a 0/3000. Go." "An interesting tactic. Trap Master, destroy that jar," the Trap Master emerged and destroyed the Dragon Capture Jar, releasing the Blue Eyes White Dragon, "White Lightning attack!" The bolt of electricity came closer to destroying Malik and Isis, when it suddenly stopped. "Father, you cannot kill them, just because they were protecting their land." "Noah, how dare you talk to me like that." The large man hit his son, knocking him unconscious. Then Gozaburo was hit hard from the side. "We've had enough of your punishment! Now it's time your ways ended. Ever since you adopted me you have been cruel and mean. But you won't anymore." With that Seto took Gozaburo's deck and shoved him onto the rocks in the ocean. Seto then picked up Noah and left. "That was odd," Malik murmured as he and Isis left to get the townsfolk. Night had settled in as Yugi, Tristan, and Joey set up camp. They suddenly heard a scream. "I check it out," Yugi said and walked towards the noise. Yugi walked for about five minutes until he reached a man carrying a woman. "You." "Who, me?" the man asked. "Yes you. What are you doing with that girl?" "I captured her, so she's my slave. And I think I'll make you my slave too." The man lunged at Yugi, dropping the girl, and Yugi dodged and let Yami take over. "You cannot just take people off the streets as slaves. You must earn them. And since you want me as a slave, you'll have to earn me by beating me in a duel. If I win you never try to take any more slaves and I get the girl, if you win you can take me as a slave. Deal?" "Deal!" "Then it's time to duel! Okay. I'll play Celtic Guardian in attack mode. And I'll play a card face down." The clearing they were in suddenly had a warrior and a glowing rectangular area. "Young duelist you are a fool. My creatures get a power bonus for dueling at night. Go Doma the Angel of Silence! Attack!" The dark fairy attacked Yami's Celtic Guardian and destroyed it, leaving Yami with only 1600 life- points. "All my creatures get an additional 200 attack and defense points, shrimp." "Hmm. I'll play this card face down in defense mode!" "Go Castle of Dark Illusions! It also pumps up all my dark creatures by 200 attack and defense. Doma, attack!" The dark angel's attack had no effect upon Yami's face down card, the Giant Soldier of Stone. "I'll play two cards face down, and then I'll play Dark Magician, which becomes a 2700/2300. Dark Magic attack Doma!!" The wave of dark energy flies towards Doma, and reduces him to particles. "I'll play Chaos shield, and then Reaper of the Cards in Defense mode." "I'll play Swords of Revealing Light! Then I'll play Catapult Turtle in defense mode." "I play the Bistro Bucher in defense mode." "I play Gaia the Fierce Knight!" "Doma, The Angel of Silence, in defense mode." After that move is made the swords of revealing light disappear. "I play Curse of Dragon, along with polymerization, to form Gaia, The Dragon Champion! Then I'll use Catapult Turtle and launch Gaia at your Castle of Dark Illusions." Gaia is flung up and he destroys the flotation ring around the castle. But it also reduces Yami to 600 Life Points, but the castle begins to fall, slowly at first, then faster and faster until all of the man's life points were gone. The duel ended and Yami won freedom for the girl. "Damn you!! It's time for a Panik attack!!" Panik then charged at Yami with a great-sword. "I think it's time for you to go to the Shadow Realm! Dark Warp!" The blast of energy released Panik's soul to the Shadow Realm. Yami walked over to the girl was just regaining consciousness from the fall. Yami switched back to Yugi. "Hi, what's your name?" "My name is Anzu. But my friends call me Tea." "Come on Tea, I'll take you back to camp." "Thank you. For everything." GPK: That's the end of another chapter. In the next chapter we find out Joey's past, then his future is decided by dueling Mai! More madness for Malik and Isis. Shadi returns! And Ryou has a duel with Rex! Bye y'all!
