United We Stand

While Kaiba went back home("See ya losers later"he told them) Dejiro went into

Yugi's granpa's gameshop.

"This is our friend Dejiro, we just met him outside"said Yugi(reverting back)

"Nice to meet ya young lad"he said shaking his hand.

"Thank you sir"said Dejiro.

"Is that a DuelDisk on your arm? It is, you're a duelist aren't ya!"

"Not quite, the only reason I took the card game is because it's the only

way to save my sister. She's being held captive by a group called the

Garder Snakes"

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear, but what does that have to do with Duel Monsters?"

"These Garder Snakesd are Duelists, if I can beat them then I'll get my sister back"

"My friend, Duel Monsters is not about revenge, it's about having fun

and testing your thinking skills. Rarely should it ever get personal"

"This is diffrent sir. These guys are psychotic, I can only-

Dejiro broke off right there. He saw himself in the middle of

a Green area with all kinds of spots and flashes going around.

"Not this again!"he gasped.

Dejiro looked over and saw Jane on the floor, her hands free this time.

Dejiro wasted no tiem, he dashed over to her. Reality and Fantasy were no more,

he just charged head on.

He made it to her with ease and kneeled down by her side.

He noticed her face, her eyes bloodshot to the extremem and tears

falling down her face faster then boulders with more coming.

"What's wrong?"

No response.

"Talk to me!"said Dejiro shaking her.

She looked up at him. Dejiro held back the gasp.

Never, no matter what she went through, has Jane ever looked

so repulsive. Her face even had marks close to her mouth and

eyes. She looked like a demon almost.

She closed her eyes, and with a small whimper more tears came.

"What's wrong! Tell me!"

"He raped me!"

It was at that moment he snapped back.

He was at the gameshop again, on his hands and knees, breathing hard.

Yugi and Joey standing over him, along with Grandpa.

"Yo, you're scaring me! You allright!"asked Joey, in a very panicked voice.

Dejiro stood himself up.

"What happened?"asked Yugi.

"Remember when I said me and Jane had a connection?

I believe the Garder Snakes are letting me hear here

cries of pain. She's been raped"

"Are you sure you aren't just hearing things?"asked Joey.

"I'm sure it's for real"

"He's probaly right. These Garder Snakes probaly

have the power to do these kind of things,

most people with knowledge of the millenium items

7 times out of 10 have powers of their own"

"Is she your age?"asked Grandpa.

Dejiro nodded.

"Man! Those guys are the definition of messed up!

They make Yami Malik seem pleasant!"said Joey.

Watching them from the eyes of a dead fly was Vendick.

"They're suprised now, but just wait until they meet our newest member.

But that can wait. But when they meet him, won't they be suprised! In the meantime,

I'll deal with the Pharoah and his pathetic vessel Yugi Moto"

"Let me handle them"

From behind a strange boy about 15 years of age stepped out,

his face covered by a hood and with a cape on as well as long Black boots,

a sweatshirt and pants.

"Gallion, you remain here. I have plans for

the Pharoah and his friends. You remain here.

My set up is absoloutely flawless, and will be more

fun then just some measily duel"

Gallion nodded and stepped out. Vendick took out his Snake Crown, and a wicked

grin grew on his face.

"Have fun in the Shadow Realm my friends"

"So now what?"asked Dejiro.

As though on que, he vanished.

"What the!"gasped Joey.

Joey vanished as well.

"Joey!"

Yugi vanished.

On his way back to Kaiba corp, Kaiba vanished.

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

Yugi, Joey, Kaiba and Dejiro were all in somekind of desert.

"Is this someone's idea of a joke!"said Kaiba.

"I'm not laughing"said Joey.

"I bet those Garder Snakes are behind this"said Dejiro.

"Has to be"said Yugi.

"Get a clue Yugi, how could they possibly make us vanish into

a desert miles away?"

"This isn't any ordinary desert"

A Black hole opened and Calback stepped out.

"You again"said Joey.

"You aren't in your realm any more boys, this is the Shadow realm,

a realm in which we have total control"

"AW!"gasped Yugi.

"ENough weith your hocus pocus nonsense, where are we really!"said Kaiba.

"Denigh it all you want Seto, but it changes nothing. Instead of going through the trouble

of dueling you, we're gonna have you roam the shadow realm. There are ways to escape,

but you'll have to find them. If you die Yugi Moto, we get your puzzle, if you

die Joey Wheeler, we get your egyptian god cards

But you do have these special shadow disks to keep"

They all looked to see a new kind of DuelDisk on their arms. It had 3 diffrent slots with

what appeared to be 3 diffrent decks.

"There are 3 diffrent slots, ones for your Magic, Trap, and Monster cards.

You have no lifepoints, instead the way you die is

like in your realm. If a monster or something else manages to kill you,

then so long. All you have to do is draw the monster. Once you draw it,

it is automaticly summoned. Of course they aren't just mindless

puppets like in the card game, they may or may not obey you. So I

would think twice about playing your really strong monsters. The stronger

the monsters are, the harder it will be for you to control them"

"What!"they all gasped.

"I'd have to say you're at a pretty big disadvantage. We'll be watching, so good luck"

Calback stepped back through the hole and it was gone.

"Stay calm everyone. If we're gonna pull through we're gonna need to work

together"

Yugi's millenium puzlle glew and shook around.

"YUGIOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Yami emerged from the puzzle, taking over. Dejiro however wasn't paying very close attention.

"Let's move out"said Yami.

"Hey, you aren't giving the orders around here Yugi. We're gonna

do things my way. Now let's see if I can draw us a good flying monster"

"Kaiba!"gasped Yami.

"What is it Yugi"said Kaiba annoyed.

"We have to be careful, don't forget what he said.

The monster may not obey, so you have to be very careful"

"Whatever"said Kaiba drawing.

There were labels for the magic, trap and monster card

areas.

"Perfect! Come forth Spear Dragon!"

It had an ATK of 1900 and DEF of 0000

Spear Dragon gave a deafening roar as it was summoned.

Kaiba climbed on.

"Spear Dragon, go"

"What about us!"gasped Dejiro.

"Look, I'm out for myself, so you can stay together if you want,

but I won't need you. Spear Dragon, let's go"

However Spear Dragon dumped Kaiba off of his back and tried

to slam his beak into Kaiba who rolled out of the way.

"Hey, obey me!"

Spear Dragon merely launched a fireball at him.

Kaiba dived backwards, barely avoiding the attack.

"Whoa! He may be a jerk but we gotta help him! Hope this works!"

Joey drew FlameSwordsman.

"Go, FLameSwordsman!"

"Be careful with it Joey"warned Yami.

Flame Swordsman appeared, face to face with Joey.

It had an ATK of 1800 and DEF of 1600

"Can you help us out?"

FlameSwordsman nodded and struck Spear Dragon down with it's Sword. The Spear

Dragon got back up and blasted it back.

FlameSwordsman got up, with his sword colliding with the dragon's beak,

however the FlameSwordsman was brought down to a knee.

"Oh man! Oh man, in the card game Spear Dragon's attack power is

higher then FlameSwordsman's. He's no match!"

Dejiro drew a magic card.

"Go Ax of Despair! Power up his FlameSwordsman"

A large ax appeared and flew over to FlameSwordsman.

The Flameswordsman took it and swiped the dragon back.

With a barbaric slash, the FlameSwordsman planted a serious wound

into the spear dragon. The mighty beast fell to the ground, dieing.

FLameSwordsman returned.

Suprisingly, the Spear Dragon was bleeding to death. Dejiro covered his

eyes, this wasn't a horror movie, this death was real and far worse then what you

see in the movies.

"Wow, looks like this is gonna be a rough ride"said Joey.
