Alpha: *yelling at a bagel* NO! EVERYTHING IS NOT JOLLY GOOD!
***************************************************************
"Two cards facedown, and another monster in defense mode." Ishizu said.
With Ryo's copied Blue Eyes easily dominating the field, it seemed this duel might be over soon.
"Since those are obviously traps, I play Harpy's Feather Duster!" Ryo said, and in one gust of wind, her fd cards disappeared.
"I also use Stop Defense on that facedown monster!" He added, flipping over her Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon. [3300/1700]
"Huh, that probably would've taken some serious thought to beat, if you hadn't given me a Blue Eyes to copy!" Ryo said as his dragon destroyed hers.
"Taken thought? Too bad for me." Ishizu glared. [LP:600] "That factor alone would've won me the duel!"
"Yeah, yeah, make your move."
"Once again, I'm lost ta' who has the advantage!" Joey said, glancing between Ryo's dragon and Ishizu's mouth.
{Though this has nothing to do with the duel,} Ishizu thought,{ and unless my Necklace is slightly incorrect, Ryo: 3. Tough girls of the universe: Infinity}
"So, who are you rooting for?" Helios asked jokingly to Marik.
"Though I care little, I would greatly prefer my sister to lose this match." Marik whispered coldly, once again wearing a disturbingly dark expression.
Helios shivered. While he didn't think himself a master of knowing evil expressions, he could easily give respect to Marik's.
His own was merely a tone of superiority. Buster's once held a look of great insanity.
Marik's, however, held cunning, patience. It looked like that of a statue, if that statue were completely evil.
But at the same time, his violet eyes glowed with hatred and anger, IMpatience and eagerness, as if he had waited centuries for something that was still a short time away.
***************************************************************
Unbeknownst to him, it was the same type of gleam that Seto and Seth were stared at by.
"Bakura? What are you doing here?" He asked the faking yami.
"Trying to, *cough* catch up with you!" He lied, before truthfully collapsing."
"Ah, yes, Helios's Coliseum." Seto acknowledged, pulling the yami up.
'Bakura' was very bloodied up. His clothes were torn in several places, and a large red circle shape stained his shirt.
Quickly, Seto rammed his fist, hard, into Ryou's head. The yami fell unconscious.
*He has a blood-stained Ring shape on his shirt, and he thinks he can trick us?* Seth asked incredulously. *Shouldn't super-villians be smarty than this?*
"I don't know, maybe he was on DBZ once." Seto said, picking him up." Let's just find some safe place to dump him."
*Too bad we can't dump the dog with him too.*
"Yeah, Joey needs to live in a cleaner environment!"
*No, I mean you.*
What Seto did in anger next was both cruel, evil, and stupid. He rammed his head into a wall!
*Ouch! Are you TRYING to kill us both!*
"I AM NOT A DOG!" Seto yelled, his voice echoing through the empty city.
*Yes you are, shnouzer!*
"German Shep-turd!"
*Labra-DORK Retriever* [A/N: I got that from OrangeGirlExplosion's fic]
"No-Wiener Dog!"
That comment ended up with Seth giving Seto what is normally called brainfreeze.
Thus erupted a battle of dog-name insults and painful brain antics.
***************************************************************
"This is it!" Ishizu said." I've none this was coming, so I can finally say the duel is over!"
"Will you just shut up already!" Ryo yelled, very miffed.
"I will, and so will you!" She grinned." First, I play Goddess with the Third Eye!" [1700/600]
The Goddess was dressed in mystic brown robes, and her maroon hair stopped short of covering a third, golden eye on her forehead.
"Hmm, I think I know your plan, but their's only one way you can do it!" Ryo said.
"How's this?" she said mockingly." Monster Reborn, reviving my old Blue Eyes!" [3500/2100]
"Also, Change of Heart, taking yours!" She added, much to Ryo's shock.
"Finally, I play Polymerization!" She finished, triumph on her face." My Goddess's power is that she can be a substitute for any one monster in a fusion!"
Ryo couldn't even speak as the Ultimate Dragon appeared. [5000/3400]
"Luckily for you, you need a monster for me to attack." She said, smirking." Your move, enjoy it while you can!"
"This tournament is truly becoming extraordinary!" Helios remarked." TWO Ultimate Dragons in a row, I can only wonder what powerful monsters will emerge before this is through!"
"This isn't over, Ishizu!" Ryo said, playing a monster in defense mode.
"It will be as soon as you can't defend." She remarked, drawing a card." Hoshinenjin, in defense mode!"
Hoshinenjin was a golden star, with eyes and a mouth. It floated in the air, grinning at Ryo's plight.
"This little guy's effect is that he powers all Light-type monsters up by 500 Attack, and lowers all Dark-types attack by 400!" [2000/100] [5500/3400]
"Now, Ultimate Dragon, attack his facedown monster with Nuetron Blast!"
Ryo groaned as the three heads' energies obliterated his Millienium Shield.
"Then I play two cards facedown, and another monster facedown!"
Ishizu's Necklace glowed slightly, and she had a look of remorse." Ryo, I know that yo have a plan to easily destroy my dragon."
"Maybe I do, so what?" he asked.
"Well, I'm going to take a leap of faith this turn, and not rely on other powers!" She said, and her Necklace stopped glowing. " Let's see what you can do!"
"Fine, it's your turn." Ryo breathed, nervous.
She drew her card." Perfect! Another Hosinenjin!" [2500/100], [2500/100], [6000/3400]
Ryo blinked, then looked down sadly. " That means my strategy...."
"Ultimate Dragon, attack!" Ishizu commanded.
Ryo looked up suddenly, and a confident smirk replaced his solemn look. "WILL RIP YOU APART!"
He flipped both of his facedown cards." Reverse Trap, and Mirror Wall!"
"No way!" Ishizu exclaimed.
Shayla, using her Scales, had wide eyes." Brilliant! Reverse Trap turns power-ups into power-downs, and vice-versa!" [0/900], [0/900], [2000/4200]
"And that's not all!" Ryo said." Mirror Wall blocks your assault, and halves your Dragon's current attack power!"
"I....... don't believe this!" Ishizu gasped. The strongest, non-Exodia or Ritual monster in Duel Monsters, was now at [1000/4200], and in attack mode.
"Believe it, Ishizu!" Ryo said, eyes shining with determination. " Before I win this duel, though I have two things to say."
"Hmm?" She said, looking at his distressed face.
"Number One, I'm sorry that I have to defeat you, and that you were an incredible challenge!" He said, smiling weakly." And Number Two, thanks for reminding me I have a world to get back to, and a wildcat who I owe a rematch!"
He sighed as he flipped his facedown monster. "Sanga of the Thunder!" [2600/2200]
"Lightning Pulse attack!" he commanded, and in a flash, a bolt of lightning struck down the Ultimate Dragon.
Immediately, Ryo's podium started descending. Ishizu smiled as she saw the Coliseum starting to glow.
He Necklace shined, and she suddenly she felt relieved. " What do you know, I guess I'm not dead after all. And neither will anyone else be, except for-"
Before she could finish, the light struck her. Casting a mysterious look toward Helios, she dissapeared.
Marik smiled. " Well, this makes my plans a great deal easier."
He walked to his room, ignoring the looks of disbelief from the others.
***************************************************************
Ishizu wasn't the only one who felt relieved. A now fully-conscious Drake saw Dia and Darien flying back to Pub.
"Any good news?" He asked as they landed.
"It depends on what you call good!" Darien answered, his face strained." Zera has already gained full power again!"
"WHAT?!" Was the reply of the entire group.
"This can't be happening..." Drake said in fear." We're not ready to fight, maybe the Divine are, but they're at a whole other level of experience!"
"Calm down, calm down!" Dia said, smiling.
"It will take him some time to build an army." Darien continued." Whether he likes it or not, he is still only ONE being, and we have several creatures that could destroy dozens in single attacks!"
"And that ime will be spent training." Muran said, stepping up." All of you must be ready to fight. Yami, Drake, the two of you I'm going to push the hardest!" He said, to the two duelists' dimay.
"However, we have to go right now!" Yugi interjected." The semi-finals of the Tournament are TOMMORROW!"
Everyone seemed both shocked and humbled as they remembered that. Dia and Darien disappeared back into their cards.
"C'mon, we have to hurry!" Lara said, turning back into the Dragoness. The group quickly transformed, and raced off.
***************************************************************
A/N: Sigh....another chapter ends short of my expectations... sorry people, but I can't write anymore without forcing this chapter to be another multi-parter. Please be patient, as I'll try and get the next one up soon!
Next: As Shayla and Shadi duel, the others are busy training for the approaching battle. What!? Roan's decided to speak out! The real Bakura is found, but by who? And is there time to save him from either death, or the new darkness that is slowly possessing him? Also, Seto and Seth, along with a manipulative Ryou, face off against the Executives, but find more than what they expected. Could this newfound evil be the cause of everything that's taken place!? A small piece of the puzzle comes into place, next time on Fellowship of the Dragoon!
Turning Points Galore, the Darkness takes Form.
