***************************************************************
Shadi raised his key again, and an image of an axe and a bird appeared.
"I guess that's us."Mike said, gesturing at Joey."Seeing as how we have no Items."
"Great! Let's hope your skills run in the family, or you're gonna look like a dope in front of your own sister!" Joey smirked.
"Wouldn't be the first time, trust me."
As the group stared, all but one stayed in the room as the others went upstairs to the Living Quarters.
Buster Slade sat deep in thought. *Whoever we face at our turn, I hope it's someone strong enough to be a challenge.*
*It will be.* Zera assured,*I have seen to it.*
Buster had a confused look as he went upstairs, but the Zera half was smirking.
*The boy will receive his wish: His opponent is going to be strong, thanks to a small tamperment to the Key.*
Zera chuckled to himself as they entered the corridor, receiving distrustful looks from everyone. He glanced at the opponent he had chosen for Buster before entering his own room.
*Be careful, Pharoah: The Mant is coming for you!*
***************************************************************
"So, what so we do now?" Bakura asked as they walked through town."You have a whole week to spend, and I'm off the hook entirely!"
"I don't know."Drake admitted, looking around. "I don't think there's much TO do. And I don't want to risk going across the desert."
"Then you will sadly not receive your preference."
The boys looked back to see the new voice's owner, and recieved two heavy blows to the head.
A few hours later, they both woke up in a shadowed building near the edge of town.
"You're awake?" Came the voice that had attacked them. Drake deduced it was feminine. "Good."
"What are you doing this for?"He demanded."Why are we here?"
"You are here to save the world."The voice said, slightly miffed."Forgive me if I was rude, but I don't think you would have acknowledged my information any other way."
"What do you mean?"
The owner of the voice moved slightly closer to the dim light; Drake could see a slight amount of orange silk."You have faced a minion of the Fiend Empire before, an Air Eater. His superiors are trying to conquer the Shadow Realm, and in turn conquer the real worlds as well."
Drake stood up, interested." And who is the leader of this Empire?"
The voice shook slightly now."He is not yet fully ready for conquest, but it is a monster known as Zera the Mant. He is trying to gather the Millennium Items to fuel his power, and be reborn."
Drake turned this over in his mind." If this is true, what can we do about it?"
"Yes, what can we do? His is not really a true Item, and mine has lost all it's power!" Bakura informed.
The woman smirked." You can help, by gathering the other Divine monsters. Zera is one of the strongest, but the others can help to overpower him if he does return.
"If he does?"
"There is little we can do to prevent his rebirth."The woman said, gripping her hands."But the others can help defeat him when the time comes! Centuries ago, he was overpowered by the Black Luster Soldier and Magician of Black Chaos, but they were killed trying to stop him."
"I see." Bakura said." The other Divine will have power against him, just like the Soldier and Mage, and we too will be by their sides!"
"Exactly!" The voice said, grinning."You can find the Divine warriors mostly in secluded towns throughout the desert. Some are hidden from view, and still others have preference to neutrality, but I am sure they can be found!"
With that, she jumped out the window, too fast for the boys to see.
"Bakura, you stay here in town to watch over the others."Drake immediately said, pulling out a card."I'll try to find the Divine monsters."
"Agreed."Bakura said."You can probably work much faster without me, anyway."
Drake put the card forward, and turned into the Dragoon." Make sure they're safe, and good luck!"
"You too!" Bakura called as Drake flew out the window.
Unknown to the two of them, the woman who had told them all this was on the roof, and smiled as she saw Drake fly off.
"That one is the best chance we have, I really hope he does it."
She turned." I'd better get back to the lair. The others may wonder why I've left."
With one final glance toward Bakura, who was walking back to the inn, the Warrior of Tradition smiled.
***************************************************************
The next morning, everyone woke up, prepared for the duel. Unlike the duel between Drake and Bakura, the others actually had time to make it up the dozens of flights of stairs, so that they too could see the duel.
Mike stood on one podium, slightly embarrassed from Zeph's cheers, and Joey on the other, ready to fight.
"Let the duel begin!" Shadi called, putting his arms up like a referee.
Joey went first." I'll start wupping your butt, with Tiger Axe in defense mode!" [1300/1000]
The Beast-Warrior appeared, defending with it's ax while snarling.
"Hmm."Mike said, obviously thinking." I'll put one card facedown, and a monster in defense, also facedown."
{Defending?} Joey thought.{Doesn't he have a strong enough monster to take down 1000 defense?}
"Since that's obviously a trap, I'll play one card facedown and a mon facedown too!" Joey said.
"Perfect."Mike said."That's just what I wanted you to do." He flipped his facedown card." Curse of Fiend switches all monsters into the opposite position they were in!"
"Wha!?" Joey blinked in confusion.
His Tiger Ax and facedown Rock Ogre Grotto went to attack mode. [800/1200]
Mike's monster turned out to be Harpie's Brother. [1800/600]
"I'll also use a magic card, Mystical Space Typhoon!"
A watery whirlwind appeared around Joey's facedown card, and a bolt of lightining destroyed it.
"Without anything on the field protecting you anymore, I'll have my Harpie Brother attack your Rock Ogre Grotto!"
The bird-man smirked, then slashed the Ogre into pebbles.
{Ack! Two turns and I'm halfway beat!} Joey thought in frustration. [LP:1000]
"I'll also put one monster facedown in defense mode, just to be prepared." Mike said, grinning.
Joey drew his card.{Hmm, let's see: I got only one card in my hand that could beat that freaky bird-brain, but it would probably leave me open.}
Joey looked at Mike.{Since he uses Harpy cards, I can probably excpect a few Pet Peeves. I need some stall time!}
"First, I'll move Tiger Axe back to defense, then I'll play Sword Hunter, in attack mode!" [2450/1600]
The Sword Hunter was tall and muscular, wearing an assortment of different armor pieces and carrying several dozen different blades on his back.
It jumped forward, both hands with a sword, and slashed the Harpie's Brother.
"A nice play." Mike smiled appreciatively." Not only did you take Life Points, but now you have a power-packed monster to fight with, too!" [LP:1350]
"As if that surprises anyone." Joey grinned as the Brother's arm-blade became attached to the Hunter. [2650/1600]
Mike drew his card. "Still, I've got plenty more surprises. You're dealing with a deck that controls the forces of all weather, and I'm about to blow you away!"
***************************************************************
Drake looked around as he flew. For miles, he had seen nothing but desert.
Still, he was enjoying this.
As he flew several incredible manuevers through the air, he found it hard to beleive he could go this fast.
Starting into a dive, Drake realized he was heading toward a grassy area, instead of some sand.
Pulling out of the dive and landing in the soft turf, he looked around.
"Hmm, the land of Sirmip?" He wondered aloud. Ahead he could see a small village, and on a mountain high above, a strange, rainbow colored tower that went into the clouds, which were also sending off a rainbow glow.
"Well, it's certainly a change from the area just behind it." He stated, noticing how the sand was suddenly cut off by the lush grass.
He walked around, folding his wings again, checking things out.
He smiled as he saw how peaceful it was here. The village was inhabited mostly by human-like monsters, so it wasn't hard to see how calm everything was.
Eventually, he reached the tower. Gaping, he felt like it seemed even taller close up.
"Is this your first time looking at the Sirmip tower, traveller?"
Drake looked to see a Swordsman from a Foreign Land, standing near the base of the tower.
"Yeah. I was wondering exactly what's at the top of it."
The Swordsman smiled." The top of the tower is the home of the Cosmo Queen, ruler of all you see before you, and so much more."
*Cosmo Queen! One of the Divine!* Lance exclaimed.
"Um, am I allowed to try and climb it?" Drake asked.
Suddenly, Drake raised his fist, catching the Swordsman's blade.
"Such quick reflexes, very good!" The Swordsman said, smiling."You may go forth. Be careful, though: She IS the Cosmo Queen, and most rulers try to live in their own kingdoms."
"Great. A climb to space." Drake sighed, before unfolding his wings and flying upward at an incredible rate.
***************************************************************
"I play the magic card, Raigeki!" Mike said, and a huge bolt of lightning hit the field, dissintigrating both of Joey's monsters.
"Whoa! Shocking play." Joey said." Too bad it won't strike twice; I summon the Red Eyes Black Dragon!" [2400/2000]
The dragon appeared with a mighty roar. It fired it's flame at Mike's facedown monster.
"There goes my Weather Report." Mike said, putting the card to his Graveyard.
"Ah, well. I have a better way to blast you. But I'll need time, so I'll play one monster in defense."
{Great! I got em' on the run! I just have to keep my cool, and he's dust!}
"I'll play one card facedown, and end my turn." Joey said, doing so.
"Then I'll play Monster Reborn, and attack with you own Sword Hunter!"
"No way!" Joey exclaimed as his dragon was slashed. [LP: 950]
"I'll also get a power bonus too!" Mike said, as the Red Eyes's head appeared on the Hunter.
***************************************************************
Drake flew higher and higher, trying to keep his eyes open against the rushing wind.
At last he saw the top coming up. Glad to have finally made it, Drake slowly landed in what seemed to be a hallway.
A VISITOR? HOW UNUSUAL.
Drake stepped back. He hadn't heard that, yet, wait....
ARE YOU CONFUSED? DO NOT BE. I HAVE MERELY GONE BEYOND THE NEED TO SPEAK, OR EVEN TELEPATHIZE. WHAT YOU ARE HEARING IS MY WILL.
Drake looked up. Above him, in a large throne that seemed to be made of starlight, sat the Cosmo Queen.
THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU TO SPEAK. I HEAR YOUR REQUEST FROM BOTH MINDS YOU HAVE. I WILL HELP YOU OPPOSE THE MANT.
With that, she teleported off somewhere. Drake sweatdropped.
*A bit of a one sided conversation, eh?* He asked Lance.
*Yep. And now we go back down.*
Drake screamed, partially of exhasperation and partially of the fact that he had just jumped.
***************************************************************
"I'll play Baby Dragon!" Joey said. [1200/700]
"And I'll also flip the Time Wizard, and play the Polymerization card. That way, I don't have to rely on chance to get the effects!"
A huge Time Warp instantly appeared. The Sword Hunter dissapeared through it, and the Thousand Dragon came out. [2400/2000]
"Crap!" Mike yelled; The Warp had taken most of his Life Points as well. [LP: 0025]
"I know how you feel." Joey said, smirking." There was this one time my Wizard failed, it really was crap, as you said."
Mike drew his card. He smiled, then put it back on the deck." I forfeit, Joey."
"WHAAAAAAT?!" Came Mai's cries from the audience. Zeph said nothing, only smiled in a mysterious way.
When the podiums reached the bottom, Mike sighed. "Ah well. Who needs the publicity anyway? Besides, I really have had enough victories."
"Really?" Joey asked." Wow. You say that as if you haven't lost much."
"You're the first I've lost to!"Mike said, smiling again." Still, that's okay. Great duel."
"Thanks! You too!" Joey said as he walked away.
Mike looked at his last card, Riryoku.
"Who needed that win anyway?"He said again."Besides, now I can finally spend some private time with Zeph, without anyone trying to inturrupt."
Apparantly Mike didn't know Bakura was back at Zeph's hotel.
***************************************************************
Drake woke up a little while later, rubbed the large mark on his head where he had crashed, then shakily started flying in another direction.
*I think you did that on purpose.* Lance said as they exited Sirmip.
*On purpose!? Why would I do something that stupid?*
*How easily you forget your dreams. "Lara, lower,thereeeeeeee."*
Drake made a "hidden" mental note to crash into a tree the next time he was using Lance's powers.
*Huh? What's this note doing in the "secret" area?*
Drake groaned.
***************************************************************
