Chapter 12: Parting for Now!

Ryo: I have had just about enough! You fools have broken my Millennium Rod's spell two times in a row and I will not tolerate this. Time for you all to pay for what you all have done.

Yugi: We're just beginning Ryo! We will defeat you, together!

Ryo: But you see, not all of you will be able to be together for very long.

All of a sudden an earthquake hits and everyone tumbles down into a fork in the road.

Varon: So, which way should we go?

Marik: I think we should split up into two groups of four, each group going in one direction. We should then try to meet at Pegasus's old castle.

Duke: That's a great plan, but who is going with who? And who should lead that group?

Yugi: I think that Marik and I should lead, if that's not a problem with you guys.

Tristan: That's fine, but how could we decide who goes with you or Marik.

Serenity: I'll go with Yugi!

Duke: I'll also go with Yugi, just in case he needs my help.

Tristan: I-

Varon: I'll be the fourth member of Yugi's group. Ryo will probably want to control Joey's body so I might as well go. It's not that I want a rematch with him, its just Joey will be strong and Yugi might not be able to handle him all on his own.

Tea: Then that means Raphael, Tristan, and I will be in Marik's group. Tristan, are you okay?

Tristan: [crying]

Tea: I don't want to ask.

Yugi: We'll go to the left. Is that okay with you Marik?

Marik: Yeah, see you all at the castle!

Yugi: Before you leave I need you to take the Winged Dragon of Ra.

Marik: What, why?

Yugi: You know the many effects of Ra and I trust you with it. Please don't lose it and give it back to me after we defeat Ryo. I would say or if you lose but I know you won't lose.

Marik: Thank you Yugi. I'll take good care of it. Let's go guys!

Raphael: I guess I'll be in the back just in case something happens.

Tea: You sure Raphael? You don't have to you know.

Raphael: I'm sure, don't worry about me.

Tea: Okay. Now I have to drag Tristan the entire way. [drags Tristan while walking forward with Marik in front of her.]

Yugi: We'll I guess I'll give this to you Duke.

Duke: Obelsik the Tormentor? Yugi, I don't think I would be able to control it and besides Varon would most likely be a more suitable holder.

Varon: Me? Thanks Yugi. Wow, Obelsik the Tormentor. I'll use it with honor Yugi. By the way, where is Nameless-I mean Yami?

Yugi: Oh that's right, I can call him out now.

Just as Yugi is about to activate the Millennium Puzzle two people come and take it away from Yugi's neck.

?: If you want this artifact back then you will have to duel us for it.

Duke: I'll duel for you Yugi.

Serenity: And so will I.

?-1: My name is Robert. I'll start this duel and summon the Man-Eating Treasure Chest in attack mode. Each player can only have 4000 life points when dueling alone or double dueling. This applies to you too, Yugi and Varon.

Serenity: I play Harpy Lady in defense mode and set a card face down.

?-2: I'm Roberto and I set a card face down along with a card in defense mode.

Duke: I summon Dice Keeper (1750/500) in attack mode and end my turn. Let's see whose strategy is better, ours or yours.

Robert: I switch my monster to defense mode and summon Spirit of the Harp in defense mode.

Serenity: I summon Harpie's Brother in attack mode and equip him with Sonic Attack to increase his attack and defense points by 600. It also gives him a new abiltiy which I will keep to myself for now.

Roberto: I summon the Sucker (100/0) in defense mode.

Robert: I told you to take that out of your deck!

Roberto: Why, so you can take all the credit in this duel?

Robert: No, so we can win together. If you forgot if we lose we will be sent to the shadows.

Roberto: Don't worry my brother. We will win just trust me. Even if Sucker is the weakest monster I can still use it as tribute.

Duke: 'Wow, they really trust each other with their hearts. I wonder if Joey and Serentiy have that kind of connection.' My move and I summon the Dark Assailent in attack mode. Attack Roberto's Sucker!

Roberto: I activate Tribulation, this allows me to sacrifice my monster for another one now meet Giant of Darkness (1600/1200)! His defense is just to strong for you to handle.

Duke: I might not have been able to destroy your monster but my Dice Keeper will activate one of his many effects. I'll use his dice effect, which allows me to roll a dice to figure out the outcome. Of course, I have half of a chance of getting a good outcome and the other half gives me an outcome that could cost me the duel. now I'll roll. I got a one, which means I must discard one card into my graveyard and end my turn.

Robert: What, was that all you could do? You are very stupid I sacrifice both of my worthless monsters to summon the Dark Dragon (2600/0) in attack mode. Attack Serenity's Harpy Lady. I'll end my turn there.

Serentiy: Bad move because now I summon Amazon of the River (1900/1800) in attack mode. This card allows me to take twenty cards from your deck and flood them into the sea. This must happen every turn during my standby phase, I also lose 1000 life points. Now I play two fissures to wipe out both of your monsters. Now Amazon of the River attack Roberto's defense monster.

Roberto: No, my Spirit of the Grave!

Serentiy: Attack Robert's life points directly, Harpie's Brother (2400)!

Robert's LP: 1600

Author's note: since it takes me to long to type out the hand left in each player's hand and their life points, in double duels I will just put the person who lost life points.

Roberto: I play a monster in defense mode and end my turn.

Duke: I summon Orgoth the Relentless in attack mode. Now I activate my Dice Keeper's ability again. Yes, I got a two! It allows Orgoth to attack twice in my turn by offering 1500 life points. Now, Orgoth, attack Robert directly with Diamond Blade Strike! I'm sorry Robert.

Robert: Ah! I lost.

Ryo: Time to go to the shadows!

Serenity: He may have been evil but he had a heart unlike you Ryo!

Duke: She's right. Now Orgoth attack Roberto's defense monster!

Roberto: I activate Mythical Legend, this allows me to summon Red Eyes Black Dragon in attack mode. This also allows me to activate any other face down cards on the field and I choose to activate my brother's face down card! Reveal yourself. I activated Metalmorph. Now I special summon Red Eyes Metal Dragon in attack mode.

Duke: He's going to sacrifice them later.

Serentiy: We may have destroyed his monster but he now has two new monsters on the field. I place a card down and lose 1000 life points while you lose twenty cards.

Serentiy's LP: 3000

Roberto: I now sacrifice both monsters for the Twin Flame Ritual Card. It requires at least fourteen stars to summon a new monster and I have fourteen. Now I summon Dragon of the Dark Flame (5050/4050). Now attack Serenity's monster with Dark Flame Flare!

Serentiy: I activate Wabako.

Roberto: I'll end my turn.

Duke: I now sacrifice all but 1000 life points and my three monsters to summon Legendary Swordsman (5050/4000). Attack his Dragon with Legendary Blade! Finish him of Serenity.

Serentiy: Now I lose 1000 life points and attack you directly with Amazon of the River.

Roberto: I may have lost but I still have the Millenium Puzzle!

Ryo appears right behind Roberto. "I'll be taking that! Say hi to the Shadow Realm!"

Yugi: Give that back to me, Ryo!

Ryo: No. I'll take this. If you want it back then you'll have to find it.

Varon: You are a big as hell bitch!

Ryo: Say what you want because it doesn't matter so see ya!

Serenity: So  we did that for nothing? I'm so sorry Yugi.

Yugi: It's not your fault Serenity. Ryo just came and stole it my Millenium Puzzle.

Duke: We should head into that forest. It seems to have a pathway. Don't worry you guys we'll get back everything that Ryo stole from us and save all of those he hurt.

*A long path*

Tristan: [still crying]

Tea: [still dragging Tristan across the path]

Marik: [getting annoyed by Tristan's crying]

Raphael: [still walking in the back. He is also getting annoyed by Tristan's crying.]

Marik: Stop crying already Tristan! Man, it's not like Serenity is the entire world. She is just a girl. If she doesn't like you, go find another girl to like!

Tristan: [finally stops crying] Do you not know who Serentiy is? She is the entire world. She is the best. She's beautiful, smart-

Marik: Shut up already! You are so pathetic! I don't know why you're even in the presence of the pharoh without him wanting to hit you or send you to the Shadow Relam! [stops to cool down for a long while] I'm sorry, Tristan. It's just my sister is gone and I just want to rescue her. I also want to help Yugi.

Tristan: It's okay. I was being an idiot anyway. I should be the one saying sorry.

?: Time to duel!

Tristan: Will they never stop coming? Fine, I'll duel you.

Tea: So will I. Even though my arms are tired I can still duel.

?: I'm Ray. I set a card face down and a monster known as Typical Forest (0/500) in defense mode. You all must know that each player can only have 4000 life points on this island so you better ge careful with your moves. Hahahaha!

Tea: I summon Hero's Heart (2000/100) in attack mode. If this monster is summoned onto the field when a monster is in face up defense position, my partner and I gain 1000 life points. My monster also gains 600 attack points so now its real attack power is 2600. I end my turn.

Tristan: I summon Axe Raider in attack mode. I set a card face down and end my turn.

Ray: I play Typical Forest in defense mode and end my turn.

Tristan: I activate Attack Plan, which forces all of your monsters into attack mode. Also both of Tea's and my monster gain 500 points.

Ray: I end my turn.

Tea: I summon Shinning Friendship in attack mode. Now both of you attack his two Typical Forests!

Tristan: well that was fast.

Ryo: I'll send him to the Shadow Realm.

Marik: His Shadow energy must be really high after sending so many people to the Shadow Realm!

Ryo: You all may be alive now but I will claim your souls!

Raphael: He may be gone for now but he must have spies everywhere. He knows what we are going to do.

Marik: We should go into that cave up ahead. I think that Yugi's group knows about Ryo's Shadow power level. We have to hope for the best now.
