Please read my others too, I'm sure they're worth it.
CJ:Umm, then why haven't you been typing them lately?
Ash:Yeah! I haven't even had my first classes yet!
Alpha:...........The two of you are just BEGGING me to send you to the Shadow Realm with our heroes, aren't you?
Ash/CJ:We'll shut up.
Alpha:*sees Ryo try and sneak away* OH NO YOU DON'T!
Ryo:What did I do to deserve being in this fic?
Alpha: Digidestined of Courage is my favorite Favorite Author.
Ryo: *looks scared* Oh...No......

Let's go!
***************************************************************
???'s POV.
I don't really know how to explain myself, but I'll try.
I don't remember my name, although I have been called by the little one's.
I don't remember my past, only after my prison, the Millinium Puzzle, was unlocked.
I even have holes in my mind about things that once were, I can't remember history or science.
The only thing I really do remember is my skill. I am a duelist, to the end.
And I know that Pegasus must be stopped.
As Drake's light flashed off, we landed, my arms protectively around Yugi, I let him down and looked around at my surroundings.
While the other zones we had just passed through were tight and small, like a card, we now seemed to be in the middle of an open field, no barriers around us.
The first thing I noticed was color; albeit all wrong. The sky above was a dismal shade of gray, the ground a bright red. I saw trees with purple leaves ahead of us, and a small stream of thick, brown water.
"Where are we?"I heard the one called Lara ask.
"I... don't know."I admitted, shame evident on my face.
"It's really freaky, that's for sure!"Said Jono...no, Joey! Where did that come from?
"I think we should try going somewhere."Drake said, a thoughtful look on his face."If the other's were around here, there would be some evidence."
"Like this!" Yugi exclaimed, walking a few spaces away.
We watched as he pulled something from the blood red grass, then turn back to us.
He held in his hand a card, although it wasn't any card I've ever seen.
"It says,"Avenging Knight." And the back has a scribble on it!"The small one read."It says"That's twice I saved your butt, Rika, you owe me!""
Strange, who would leave this card?
"Hey!"Lara exclaimed."I remember Ryo talking about a girl named Rika! Although he made it sound like she worshiped the air he breathed, he mentioned saving her life I few times."
I chuckled on the inside."Well, it's a start. Is there anything else?"
"Yeah,"said Drake, looking where Yugi had found the card."There are footsteps in the grass. One set seems to have several people walking in one way, and the other has one person being dragged a different way, then pulled back."
Not stopping to ask how Drake had such good tracking skills, I said."let's follow the one with several people. If someone was dragged, they may be in danger!"
We ran down the path, then stopped as we reached a new clearing.
This area was full of stone and gravel, although a little of the grass remained, and a cliff-like rock loomed over us.
In front of us were our friends, Ryo on the ground.
"Ryo!"I yelled, running over to him."What happened here?"
"He's too good..."I heard him say before he lost conciousness.
"My, how weak."
I looked up, and what I saw shocked me.
I tall man, by appearence, his skin a pale white. he wore a red bat-like mask, contrary to his black cape. He sported a purple oversuit which had the authority of an aristocrat, and his gloved hands were thin and bony, as he was.
But the most startling thing about this man by far were his teeth; the front canines extended outward.
"Who are you!?"I demanded."What did you do to Ryo?"
"I merely dueled him. The poor fool forfeited with 50 Life Points left, he seemed too tired to continue."The dark man said. His voice was cool, calculating."And my name is really not important. I followed him here from his home dimension, he's greatly wanted by my kind."
His kind? So he wasn't human.
"You seem to be his friends. Very well, then. I challenge you, and if you fail, I take him with me."
I smirked. This man didn't know what was about to become of him."I accept."
As we went to the duel mat on a stump, I once more inquired,"What's your name?"
"I suppose if you really want to know,"the man said in a cooler voice,"I am called Myotismon."
***************************************************************
A/N: Halfway through with this chapter, time to finish!
***************************************************************
I moved first, sending the Celtic Guardian face-up in defense mode. The meadow area around us increades it's power to 1820/1560.
"Hmm, defending on the first move."Myotismon said, putting a Magic/Trap card face-down."It almost proves cocky. I play Castle of Dark Illusions, in Defense! The darkness around us increases it's stats to 1196/2579."
"Cocky? You did it to!"I remarked.
"True, but I have reason to be."He said.
He must be planning something more, so I need a stronger attack.
I looked through my hand. Catapault Turtle, Kuriboh, Book of Secret Arts, Spell-Binding Circle, and the Curse of Dragon I just drew.
He probably expects a strong assault, which would give reason to the card he put face-down. I need to wait and see wait he does, before I go out and attack.
"I'll put a card facedown as well,"I said, placing the Circle in a slot,"and play one monster facedown." I put the Kuriboh facedown, just incase I drew Multiply, or Myotismon had a hand discarding card.
"Very well. I now attack Celtic Guardian, with Barox!"He said, putting a monster card faceup, it's stats 2340/2600 with the bonus.
The Barox slaughtered my Guardian, leaving me at a slight disadvantage.
I drew. Polymerization, but without Gaia I had no use for it.
"Now I'll attack your beast, with Curse of Dragon! the mountain-like cliffs enhancing it's power!" 2600/1950
"Dragon Flame!"
The fire rushed across the meadow, accomplishing more than just damage.
"The flames ignite the field, burning away the meadow yet illuminating the darkness!" Meaning Barox lost his new powers. 1800/2000
The fires burnt Barox, bringing Myotismon's Life points to 1200.
Though the darkness crept back, I had driven my point across.
"Good move. But every dragon gets slain sooner or later."
I saw the others holding Drake back, Lara covering his mouth.
"Now to prove my point."he said, a nasty grin on his face.
"Dragon Seeker!"
I gasped. Not only does the Dragon Seeker have a resistance againt dragons, but the darkness boosted it's stats. 2600/2730
"Dragon Slayer punch!"
The monsters attack stuck true, and the weakness lost me 500 life points.
"Careful, big Yugi!"Tea said."That's what beat Ryo!"
So Ryo had lost to this card. Not entirely surprising.
I drew a card, and smirked.
"Now to prove MY point! Dark Magician!"
The little one's, MY favorite card was strong before, but the dark energies around us boosted it even further! 3250/2730
"Dark Magic attack!"
Myostismon frowned slightly. LP:550
"Full of surprises, but dull on brains. The Castle of Dark Illusions is what fuels the darkness around us."
"Thanks for the tip."I mocked."I'll be sure to destroy it, then."
"Not against this. Skull Knight! His attack is boosted to 3395!"
"ATTACK!"
It rushed forward, ready to kill, but-
"The Spell-binding Circle!"
It's attack went to 2695.
It hit my Dark Magician, but the difference was too great.
"No way!" Myostimon schreeched. LP:0
"Sorry you lost. I guess you don't get Ryo." I sneered.
"No one denies me!"The dark man shouted, his voice seeming like a beast."And you haven't seen the last of me! I'm immortal, I've proven it SEVERAL TIMES!"
"Then prove it against me."I said, and felt the energies from my and Yugi's Puzzles entering me. So warm, great, I struggled to keep my mind on my task.
"NIGHTMARE CLAW!" The man called Myotismon shouted, and I saw a large streak of darkness shoot at me. And dissapate into my Puzzle's light.
"No,...it can't be....the seven are unleashed.."I heard him mutter.
"I HAVE TO GET BACK!" I heard him yell as he took to the air."Must warn the Master's!"
"YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!"I yelled, feeling the world shake with my strength."OBLITERATE!"
As I stretched my hand o his direction, something weird happened.
My Obliterate normally only killed, but..this man fell to pieces. Literally.
I saw what looked like flying sand dissapear where Myotismon had died.
I let out a breath of relief as I gathered up the cards.
"Great duel!"Yugi said to me.
"Actually, it was a little too easy."I admitted.
"What do we do now?" Tea asked."That may be over, but we're still stuck here!"
I sweatdropped, something I've known the other's to do often.
"Well, I really don't know."
The others face-faulted.
"Maybe if we look around, we can find some village or something."I guessed.
It was a long shot, but it was our only choice.
Besides, if Pegasus had his way with the world, we probably wouldn't have room to move in this realm!
