A/N:WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO! New episodes!
Drake: That's the only reason why you're typing on a Saturday, right?
Alpha: Yep.
Drake: WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO! New Episodes!
Disclaimer: I fail to own Yu-Gi-Oh or "Shade" and Martin from Gema J. Gall's stories.
Claimer: The Lemmings are coming, hooray, hooray! The Lemmings are coming, hooray, hooray! *continues for several hours*
Thanks: This fic has now surpassed it's first installment, Dragon Duelist, in both words AND chapters! Thanks to everyone who's supported this so far, especially Gema J. Gall, Lyz, and several other authors! Here's hoping it can surpass reviews, too. When the Digimon crossover and Battle City ark fics come into play, I hope everyone will be behind me again, and enjoys those as well!
And, without further adieu, let the turning point of this fic finally begin!
***************************************************************
The group ran downstairs, and immediately found the source of the problem.
"Helios! What the heck did you do?" Seto demanded. The entire building was now a pitch black shade instead of white, and several cold cell-like areas had replaced their rooms.
"I've merely transformed this stupid place to be more accomadable for me, Kaiba-boy!" Helios answered, smirking." Of course, this WILL have a few effects on any future duels fought here, but it's all good fun!"
"Looking back, I fail to understand why I thought Pegasus was insane on his own!} Seto exclaimed, grimacing."Why have you done all these things to us, anyway? Wouldn't your global takeover plans have gone smoother without us enterfering?"
Helios didn't answer, but merely walked away. Instantly, several beams of light shot out from the Coliseum's top.
***************************************************************
Mike cried out in shock as one bolt of light hit him. Another hit "Bakura", who was currently being carried by him and Zeph.
Zeph screamed as the two of them dissapeared, then promptly proceded to collapse from her own injuries.
***************************************************************
A beam of light stopped in midair, a few feet away from Roan. It hesitated, as if considering him. Then it flew away, aiming for some unknown destination.
A few blocks away, a wandering Bandit Keith was hit and dissapeared as well.
***************************************************************
"NOOOOO! MOKUBA!" Seto screamed as his brother was hit, then vanished into thin air.
"Oh yes, that's one little thing I forgot to mention." Helios said casually, before Seto lunged for him.
The elder Kaiba brother, however, was stopped in mid punch by the Eye.
"As I was saying, this new Dark Coliseum doesn't care too much for it's losers. I wish everyone good luck from now on, considering the fate you have in store for you won't be just a card-like prison!"
He smirked as he walked away, releasing Seto." I'll see you tommorrow, Kaiba-boy, when the fate of our lives is to be decided!"
The group gasped."He killed them!" Ryo yelled, gripping his hands so hard they bled. "That......FREAK!"
The others had to hold him back. "Relax, this is the Shadow Realm, and there ARE such things as Monster Reborns!" Ishizu said, though sounding doubtful.
Marik, however, found himself in a Kaiba headlock."That should have been you, you little freak!"
"Kaiba, cool dow-" Joey started.
"HE'S THE REASON MY BROTHER WAS-"
"No he isn't!" Ishizu said, defending her own brother." I'm sure Marik had NO idea Helios would do this!"
Shadi turned away, sadly.
***************************************************************
"Something really bad just happened, didn't it?" Lara asked, her eyes forming unknown tears.
"I don't know." Drake said, though he felt a great sadness in his heart as well. " I hope not, but our hopes have really been low these days."
A beam of light passed by them, and hit someone in the hallway outside their room.
Drake peeked outside, and saw a flash of light, as well as a somehow familier yell, and then opened his eyes. The spot where he had seen someone was vacant, save for a single, sharp-looking knife.
"Is something wrong?" Lara asked, as she put on a robe over her nightgown.
Drake glanced around hesitantly." I think we should go. It doesn't seem safe here, somehow, and we still have a few more monsters to find."
Lara agreed. The two changed back into their armor, unfolded their wings, and took flight.
***************************************************************
Seto Kaiba scowled as the sun started to rise. His match would be starting in a few minutes, and his deck had just overgone several serious changes.
"If what the others are saying is right...." Kaiba whispered to himself. " Beating Helios wil destroy him, becuase of how high his powers are. It will also cause everything he's done in this realm to be undone, which means that everyone will come back to life, everyone will be freed from the Shadow Realm, and Maximilian Pegasus goes back to being a normal guy. Doesn't seem like too much of a problem to accomplish to me."
He put his deck in his pocket, and started to walk down to the podiums. Everyone there was waiting for him.
"Good luck, Kaiba." Joey muttred reluctantly." Much as I hate to admit it, you're are biggest hope right now."
"Kick that prissy fake Peg-ass's butt!" Ryo yelled enthusiastically.
"If you fail, then every duel until his defeat will result in more tragedy." Shadi said uncomfortably.
"I know." Kaiba said, solemn.
Shade, or rather Judgement, as she had changed her name again, suddenly realized she was seeing. Her Scales has started to work more constantly since the night before, and she felt a strange embarassment whenever Seto was nearby.
{It couldn't have been that dream, could it?} She asked herself as he stepped onto the podium, and she was unable to stop a feeling of intense dread.
***************************************************************
[A/N: *Is brought before a court*
Judge Tea: Alpha Unknown, do you denie the fact that you have gone criminally insane, thereby creating chapters worthy of an accursed Angst fic and causing us all grief?
Alpha: No, but I-
Everyone except POF: Guilty!
Alpha: Great, court sentancing, what next? *spots mysterious ground birds chuckling.* NO! THE PENGUI-]
***************************************************************
"So nice to see you, Kaiba-boy!" Helios taunted as Seto's podium reached the top.
"Can it, bleachy!" Seto shouted." I'm going to push you into the dirt myself at the funeral in a few minutes, so just **** off!"
"Watch it, Kaiba-boy, there are little kids here! Or, there were." Helios said, thinking happily of his new, vast soul card collection that the remaining audience members had lost.
"SHUT UP! I start with one monster facedown, another card facediwn as well!" Kaiba declared.
"Fine." Helios siad, drawing. "Perfect! Allow me to introduce you to Dokurorider!" He proclaimed. [1900/1800]
The Dukororider was a skeleton, wearing a biker's outfit and riding a skeletal motercycle. Another interesting fact was that it was Devine.
"You didn't perform the Ritual!" Kaiba shouted, angry." Have you gone so low that you have to resort to cheating even more to win?"
"Calm down, little one." Helios jeered." I'm not using my Eye in this duel. Consider my Ritual Monsters a replacement for knowing your every technique."
{As if that would matter. He already knows every card from my old deck, becaus of our last duel! But he's about to get a big surprise......}
"Dukororider! Corpse Drag Race!" Helios commanded. The skeleton ran over-
"My Nimble Momanga!" Seto said, flipping over a monster that looked like a flying squirrel, though it was currently smashed into the ground. [1000/100]
Helios growled. {He's obviously hoping to use the effects to his advantage, but what can he be planning?}
"The Nimble Momanga's power gives me an extra 1000 life points!" Seto said. [LP:3000]
"It also allows me to summon two more Nible Momanga's facedown from my deck!" Seto continued, doing so.
"Your turn, as if those little furballs will help you!" Helios smirked.
"Tell that to the Kuribohs." Seto grinned." I flip my Momangas up, bringing my Life Points to 5000! I also summon the Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
Helios grimaced as the famous monster blew his Dokurorider to bits. [LP:900]
"I end my turn by playing one card facedown." Seto said.
"I hope you can do better, Kaiba boy!" He said, playing a card. "Gate Guardian!" [3750/3400]
"No way!" Seto cried as the guard of the labyrinth appeared, and blasted his Blue Eyes to shreds. [LP:4250]
"As you can see, increasing you LP won't help in the slightest." The mad yami explained, smiling.
"We'll see about that!" Seto countered." Dian Keto, the Cure Master, to further increase my LP!" [LP:5250]
"And now," The millionaire teen said,"I play the card I've worked toward this whole duel. Cyber-stein!" [700/500]
Helios's eye widened as the Frankenstein-like monster appeared.
"Oh, I guess you know about this little guy, huh?" Seto sneered." I can sacrifice 5000 of my life points to turn him into one Fusion monster of my choice. Now, prepare, for the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" [4500/3800]
The small mech dissapeared in a flash of light, and was replaced by a towering Blue Eyes with three heads, each head with a black symbol on it's forehead.
"Neutron Blast Attack!" Seto commanded, with all the voice of a fanatic. The Gate Guardian was wiped away as if it were kindling.
"Impressive, Kaiba-boy." Helios admitted. [LP:150]
"I also flip my magic card, Sebek's Blessing, increasing my LP equal to your loss!" [LP:1000]
"You talk as if that will be your salvation..." Helios said, a mad grin on his face." But I must thank you, Kaiba-boy, for giving me the tool I need!"
Helios then played his final card."Prepare yourself, foolish boy, for the Dragon Master Knight!" [5000/4000]
A BEUD, carrying a Black Luster Soldier, who held the dragon by a chain, appeared.
"It's power also increases for every dragon played on the field! You lose Kaiba-boy!" [6500/4000]
Seto's eyes were frozen in shock, as one blast wiped his Life Points, and his ultimate creature, out of existance.
"Well, that was certainly refreshing." Helios said, as a bright light started to form above them." Goodbye, Kaiba-boy! May you rest in peace, maybe."
The light flashed, and Seto dissapeared.
***************************************************************
And reappeared, in some very strange area. Looking around, he saw several familier scenes, images of his past.
He smiled sadly." So, I'm dead now? Strange, I always thought this place would have more fire and brimstone."
"Very funny." Came a voice from behind him. Seto turned around, and saw, himself.
"Who are you?" He demanded. His opposite frowned."I'm you. Sorta, anyway. To make a long story short, I USED to be you."
Kaba noticed that this version of himself was wearing the Domino High School uniform. That was what made him realize.
"You're that guy..."He said, pointing. " That evil that Yami dispelled from my heart! What are you doing here?"
The dark one spoke," Reflecting on my past, and trying to move on."
Seto saw more images around him; glimpses of the Pyramids and pictures of a large court. "I've been here in this pathway for weeks."
"Pathway?" Seto asked, noticing for the first time several roads.
"Each one leads to a world we've been in." His opposite said, looking down." I'm free to go where I choose, but I'm not ready. I haven't atoned enough."
"How exactly are you going to atone in this stupid place?" Seto scowled.
This made his copy's eyes widen, and he smiled."I never thought of it that way before."
He straitened up, wearing Kaiba's smirk." I'm Seth. Refer to me by that, and nothing else!"
"Is that you're real name?" Seto urged, annoyingly.
"Let's just say it's a proper name for what I'm about to do." Seth said, one of the roads starting to glow." This path leads back to the real world. I've made it so anyone else who loses in that place will be sent home as well, and that includes those who were previously beaten."
"So Mokuba's alive!" Seto exclaimed, eyes brightining considerably.
Seth smiled." Let's go, we have a long way to walk."
***************************************************************
A/N: Maybe that cleared a few things up. And, for the sake of the story, understand that everyone somehow knows Shade changed her name to Judgement after that dream. I really need some sleep.......
Next Chapter: While Ishizu and Ryo prepare for their grim duel, Seto and Seth make it back to a greatly changed Earth. The two former villians will have to work together with the other losers of the Coliseum to save the real world! and in the Shadow Realm, Yugi, Yami, and Simon meet up with Drake, Lara, and the entire Devine Class of monsters! But with Zera finally at his full power, they may still need a few more helping hands! The preparations for a final confrontation are made, next time, on Fellowship of the Dragoon!
War between Dimensions, Dragons against the Fiends!
