Hiya!!!!!!!!!

Yami Vegena: Finally, an update.

What do you mean?! It hasn't been that long.

Yami Vegena: I know...

Anyway, this one is short, but I needed to start the duel. Chapter 6 will be much longer, promise.

Yami Vegena: Also, go read "7 Deadly Dragons." The prologue did suck, but the fic is good.

Yeah, the prologue was more of a summary to explain the title. The fic is much better, and there's a lot of pairings in it.

Yami Vegena: There's even some Duel Monster pairings too. Check it out.

However, the rating will change to "R" in chapter 4. Chapter 4, 8, 10 and on will need the rating upped before the fic ends. So you can skip chapter 4, but you might have trouble understanding the fic better if you skip 8, 10, and 11. 12 and on can be skipped too, but all of this is when their written. Right now, only the prologue and chapter 1 are up. Chapter 2 might be up tonight or tomorrow night, depending if I get tired anytime soon.

Yami Vegena: My Aibou only got one review for it so far, so please make her happy and review it. She needs them to know whether she's okay at writing or not.

Thank, Yamina. Now, Zaheera decided to guess who our duel monsters are. You got Blader and Kurai right, but not Hageshii. But since you tried, and got two out of three right, I'll put Akuma in chapter 6 for you. I wasn't planning to, but I'll do it for you. I miss talking to you, Z-chan!!!!

Yami Vegena: Also, this chapter goes for the others in the dedication on chapter 1, but also to Keisha.

Since she e-mailed me with those questions, this chapter and another are dedicated to her. Thanks again for the idea, Keisha!!!!!!!! *glomps*

Yami Vegena: And all the other info is in the previous author notes. However, the monsters' attack and defense points for the duel will be displayed *ATK/DEF* next to their names.

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dark Angel Mage: Chapter 5

*

"The what??" Mokuba asked in confusion while staying behind his brother.

"The Dark Angel Mage is my ultimate monster. No one has ever been able to defeat it." Nekhbet replied in amusement.

"But what is it? I never heard of it." Seto asked in confusion.

"I will only reveal it in our match. If any of you wish to go and see your friend lose, then you are allowed." Nekhbet said.

"Yug won't lose!!! He'll beat ya!!" Joey shouted in Yugi's defense. Yugi smiled at him, thankful for the support. Joey was such a great friend.

"We'll see. Now, who is coming along?" She asked impatiently. Everyone spoke or nodded their choice to go. When that was done, Nekhbet chanted a spell to send them to the Shadow Realm. Soon, their surroundings faded to the darkness of the Shadow Realm. Mokuba clung to Seto when Nekhbet finished her chanting. A dueling arena like Pegasus's personal one suddenly appeared in front of them, causing everyone to jump in surprise.

"I like these dueling arenas, so I thought I conjure up one for us. However, since this is the Shadow Realm, the monsters will be real. Now, let us begin." Nekhbet said as she made her way to one side. Yugi silently made his way to the other end.

"Where's Yami?" Tristan asked after looking around.

"You'll see him eventually, if I lose that is." Nekhbet said as she started to shuffle her deck, Yugi following suit.

"I'll win his freedom." Yugi said in determination as he placed his deck down and drew his five cards.

"I doubt it." Nekhbet countered as she also drew her hand. Yugi glared at her before looking at the cards he drew.

'Not bad for a start. I got Kuribo, the Mystical Elf, the Chaos Ritual, Curse of Dragon, and Summoned Skull. As long as I draw strong cards like this, I can probably beat her before she summons the Dark Angel Mage. I have to be careful though since I have no idea what her deck holds.' Yugi thought to himself as he glanced at his opponent.

"You can go first, seran ua. I'm in no rush to beat you." Nekhbet said with a smirk. Yugi glared at her before drawing his card.

'Great, Mirror Force will really come in handy later.' Yugi thought as he placed the trap in his hand and grabbed another card.

"I summon the Mystical Elf *800/2000*, in defense mode. That ends my turn." He stated as he placed the card down, the monster coming to life before him.

"Fine, my turn." Nekhbet said as she drew her card.

"I'll summon the Dark Elf *2000/800* in attack mode. Your turn, seran ua." Nekhbet said.

"Stop calling me that already!!" Yugi shouted in annoyance as he drew his next card.

"Why? I find it rather fitting since I used to call Yami that as well. Now, continue your turn." Nekhbet said in amusement. Yugi glared at her as he looked at the card he grew.

'Dark Magician Girl, I would summon her now, but it'll be a stalemate. Wait, I can still summon a monster that'll be more than strong enough to take care of her Dark Elf.' Yugi thought as he placed the Dark Magician Girl into his hand and chose another card.

"I sacrifice my Mystical Elf to summon, Summoned Skull *2500/1200*!!" Yugi cried as he placed the card down and watched as the monster appeared on the field before him. "Attack the Dark Elf!!" With a powerful attack, Summoned Skull destroyed the Dark Elf, reducing Nekhbet's life points to 3500. Nekhbet didn't look fazed in the slightest as she grew her next card, before smirking at her opponent as she placed the card in her hand and selected another.

"Now, I shall place a monster in defense. Your turn." Yugi looked suspicious as he drew a card. 'I wonder what she's up to. All she has is one monster on the field, and nothing to protect it. Doesn't she realize that I can attack her life points directly with another monster once that one is destroyed? I have to be careful, or I'll lose Yami forever.' Yugi thought as he looked at the card he drew. 'Dark Magician!!! He can really help me in this duel, but I don't have enough monsters on the field to summon him. Maybe I can next turn.' Yugi placed the card in his hand and took another.

"I summon Kuribo *300/200*, in defense mood. And I set a card face down." Yugi said as he played the two cards mentioned.

"Are you done now, seran ua?" Nekhbet asked in a bored tone. Yugi glared at her again.

"Now, I attack your face-down monster with Summoned Skull!!" Yugi shouted as his monster attacked. The card flipped up to reveal the Unhappy Maiden *0/100* before shattering. "Your turn." Nekhbet drew her next card before placing it on the field.

"Because you have a monster with a weaker attack power, I shall play Fissure to destroy it." With that, a hand came out from the ground and grabbed Kuribo before dragging it underground. Yugi's eyes widened with that. "And I place a monster in defense. I'm done." Nekhbet said as she placed her card down. Yugi drew his next card, which was Alpha, the Magnet Warrior.

"I summon Alpha, the Magnet Warrior *1400/1700*. Attack her face-down card!!" Yugi shouted as his monster attacked the card. It flipped up to reveal another Unhappy Maiden.

"Due to her effect, you can no longer attack me this turn. Looks like my life points are safe." Nekhbet said smugly.

"Maybe so, but I will defeat you!! Now, take your turn." Yugi replied in determination. Nekhbet drew her card, then smirked evilly.

"What is she smirking about?" Tristan asked in anger. The sorceress turned to him, that smirk widening a little.

"Simple, I just drew the perfect cards to defeat your friend." Nekhbet said as she turned to face her opponent again. Everyone's eyes widened at that remark.

"Wha do ya mean by that?!" Joey shouted at her. She ignored him as she played a card down.

"I activate the magic card, Change of Heart!! Now, I shall take control of your Summoned Skull." With that, Summoned Skull went from Yugi's side of the field to Nekhbet's side. Everyone was shocked at that move. Bakura glared at her when he saw her use his favorite card, but reframed from saying anything.

'There's only two reasons why she would take my Summoned Skull. Either she wants to attack me with him, or she's going to sacrifice him.' Yugi thought to himself as he glanced at his face-down card. 'At least my Mirror Force with be able to protect me.'

"Now, I activate the Black Celestial Ritual!!" She shouted as she placed the magic card down.

"What's that?!" Yugi asked curiously.

"It's the ritual to summon my ultimate monster. It requires an offering, so I will offer your Summoned Skull." She stated as the a vortex appeared over the field, sucking the Summoned Skull into it. Suddenly, a ray of light came down over the area where the monster had previously been. Something began to take form in it, but the light was too bright to really make out anything. A sickening, tearing sound was suddenly heard, causing a knot to form in Yugi's stomach. It almost sounded like an arm being ripped right out of it's socket.

'Maybe I should stop watching those zombie movies after this.' Yugi thought to himself. He snapped out of it as the light died down to nothing. Everyone gasped at the sight of the new monster on the field. It was a human, with white wings. However, those beautiful wings were streaked with blood, some of it dripping from the tips to the ground. The angel was dressed in black Egyptian clothing, including sandals. When Yugi took a closer look, the angel's right angle had a golden shackle around it, the chain connecting to the ground. Yugi noticed a bright light, before realizing the eye of Horus was burning brightly on the monster's forehead. That's when he took a good look at the creature's face, gasping loudly when he finally realized something.

"Yami?!?!?!"

**************************

I know this is short, but I'm saving the rest of the duel for the next chapter.

Yami Vegena: And no, Hageshii wasn't really in this chapter.

No, I'll put him and the others in the duel in chapter 6. I didn't want to summon the Dark Angel Mage so soon, but I couldn't think of other monsters for Nekhbet's deck.

Yami Vegena: Let's just say that she has all female monsters while the Dark Angel Mage is her only male one, okay?

Yeah, it'll be much easier on me.

Celt: *pouts* I wasn't here.

*sighs* I said chapter 6, now get out.

Yami Vegena: Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See ya!!!!!!!!!!!
