Chaos: We...don't...own...Yu-gi-oh...now leave me alone... *passes out
again*
Me: And so people aren't confused or anything: Sinistrad is the Dark Magician's name. I got tired of calling him 'The Dark Magician.' Too long. x_x And it doesn't belong to me, either. It belongs to Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. I thought it sounded cool, so there!! :P And there's a somewhat lake joke on the Black Luster Soldier's name. You'll only get it if you know Latin, though!!
And now, thanx to the reviewers: Dark Magician Girl2k2, Sento-Kami, Schala 85, and WSJ!! Of course we aren't killing Chaos!! Who would think I would murder my favorite character??
Chaos: I would. ;''-.-'';
Me: Silence, fool!! And no one kill Seto!! It's not his fault!! See, his yami, Yami Seth, is in the Shadow Realm. And his monsters are in the Shadow Realm!! So, therefore, Yami Seth is more likely to be able to control them that poor Seto, who's still stuck in the mortal realm, k?? *blinks* Did anyone understand that??

Dragon Shadows: Chapter Three
Once Katana had developed a potion to counteract the virus, Chaos was up within a week, and determined to make up for time lost. He joined Sinistrad again in their daily workouts at dawn. These were not trials of magic - only using a staff and your own physical skills. Block, parry, extend, lunge...it all worked into a pattern, a smooth, serpentine dance. Sinistrad was physically stronger than most spellcasters, but Chaos was quick on his feet, with good reflexes.
One lunged - the other blocked instantly. There was no need for thought. The movements were so familiar that it was pure instinct to respond to the other's attack in a fitting way. They were evenly matched, for the most part. It merely depended on what kind of fighting condition you were in. That was why it was so important to keep your skills honed.
Sinistrad finally managed to sweep his staff around and down, knocking Chaos' knees out from under him, bringing him to a kneeling position. Then he lightly laid the end of his staff by the turquoise-skinned mage's neck, indicating that he was the victor. Had it been a real duel, or with any kind of blade, Chaos would have been dead. He bowed his head, accepting his defeat, then rose fluidly to his feet. They began again.
*****
The news came a while later that Seth's creatures were moving in on the fortress. They were prepared for battle. Prepared to fight for rights to the land surrounding the castle. The future looked grim and bleak, very like the Shadow Realm itself. Everywhere there were signs of war - armor polished, swords sharpened. The gates and the battlements were being reinforced. They would be ready for anything.
*****
The first battle was a nightmare. They had had no warning about their opponents' strengths and weaknesses. Every warrior was prepared - but not for this. Sinistrad was in the thick of things, wreaking devastation with his staff a whirl of motion. When the need came, he'd let fly a blast of dark magic, destroying all those in his path.
Yet he could tell, by some inner sense, that they were losing. The opposing monsters were too powerful. He barely dodged the heavy-handed attack of the Judge Man, then sent an attack in response. And then, up ahead, he saw Chaos. Surrounded on all sides by a Ryu-Kishin, the genie La Jinn, Rude Kaiser, and a Battle Steer. None to match the power of his Chaos Strike spell, but he could only attack one at a time, while they could attack him all at once.
Then, quite suddenly, something rose up in front of Sinistrad, blocking his view of his comrade. Something huge...shining...silvery-white...blue- eyed...winged...fanged. His worst nightmare. A Blue Eyes White Dragon.
But suddenly, it disappeared. Sinistrad sighed in relief, but then he realized that Chaos was no longer there, either. Neither were his four opponents.
"Retreat!!" Sinistrad called, hoping that his allies could hear him, and had the strength still to do as he ordered. "Back to the fortress!!"
