T.D.: Welcome back for another installment of my fun filled adventures... Okay, maybe not fun filled, but welcome back all the same.

Pegasus: Can you give me food now?

Kirbygurl: Not until you say you love me.

Seto: Hah! The famed Pegasus locked away by a fan girl.

Cheetoh: Seto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*Jumps on him*

Seto: Ahh! I've been attacked!!

Joey: Hey Kiaba, I want a rematch!

Seto: I haven't time for this; so, I've trained a dueling monkey for your level of intelligence.

J.G.: Oh, you're mean!

T.D.: Just another day at the loony barn. Oh well, back to the story.

Seto: Get it off!!!

For being another peaceful night in a nation of unrest, this night had quickly turned violent, as Crawford and Ryouji had been discovered by a strange figure bearing the eye of Ra. In a show of power, the sorcerer summoned a mighty Vorse Rider to destroy Crawford's Masaki. Later on, he continued to show resourcefulness as he proved to be a difficult fighter to beat. As the two fighters continued, dark secrets laid ahead.

"I'll use a monster of my own with its own magic, and to finish, I'll attack your new monster with La Jinn!"

"Another mistake to be shown. Penguin soldier, return the La Jinn from this duel!"

"If you think you've got the upper hand sorcerer, I'll fissure your shield."

"And now it's my turn to deal the damage, emerge mighty Red Eyes Black Dragon! Emerge and destroy that pathetic monster!"

"Not so pathetic, sorcerer. Wall of Illusion, return that dragon to the shadow realm! And to make sure it doesn't come back, I'll just put a prohibition in play to stop it from being able to return!"

"So think that a brilliant move? Well, chew on this. Wing Weaver, bring forth your power!"

"So much for such a mighty beast for now it's ready for the taking. You see, when we first started this, I was startled and confused, but now I can think clearly, which also makes clear my victory. I'll summon my personal favorite, the Fire wing Pegasus! I've trained with this beast and so is stronger from that. All that I give it now is the powerful Salmandra!"

"No, my Wing Weaver! Without that, this fight is over for this ill- equipped vessel. You may have won this round, but you will be hunted! You will pay for this, and you will pay dearly!"

The voice faded as did the eye marking, and as the mark went away, the empty body collapsed. The mists of the shadow realm dissipated and he was once more in the desert on the outskirts of the village.

"Good job," came a raspy voice from behind. "You have done well and are truly skilled to survive. Now I am spent and my next life calls me. Farewell, Crawford. Farewell and good luck." As these last words were spoken, Ryouji too collapsed forward onto the sands.

"Ryouji, no! Not you too!" An air about him suddenly changed as his thoughts cleared. "I will have my revenge. I'll have my revenge to repay them for what they did to Ryouji. I'll get my revenge and use there magic to bring back my love. And it will to be for anyone who has suffered under these mad sorcerers. I will get my revenge and spread the knowledge of the dice and honor my now dead friend. I will have my revenge."

The trees and the grasses seemed to whisper their approval and so Crawford set out for the capitol. If his sources were true, the pharaoh was offer jobs as eliminators and would be the perfect way to gain the power he needed.

T.D.: Well, read and review as always and always beware the penguins.

J.G. Found one! It's in the story.

Pegasus: Please give me food.

Seto: Someone get a crowbar!

Joey: Ahh! I lost to the monkey? What did Kiaba do to it?

T.D.: And the world goes on.
