United We Stand

Vendick leaft a bruised Jane in her bedroom as he was able to watch everyone in the Shadow Realm

at once.

"Let's see, what's the next twist in their never ending struggle? I know, let's

see what the new boy can do. Yes, Dejiro will give us some fine entertainment

I'm sure"

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

Cyber Falcon was much faster then Dejiro expected.

He was allready out of the desert. Now he was hovering above somekind of village.

There were tents, stands, and Duel Monsters of course though there

were some lost souls there.

"Cyber Falcon, let's land here"

The Cyber Falcon cawked and they landed.

"Thanks buddy, take a rest"

After another cawk, Cyber Falcon returned to within his

Monster Arsenal.

A Whity Phantom appeared right in front of him.

It had an ATK of 1300 and DEF of 1400

"Excuse me young lad, would you like to buy some weaponry?

Some fine julery perhaps? Or even a fine young lady?"

"No thanks"said Dejiro.

"Don't leave just yet my boy, I have such a fine selection"said Wity Phantom coming out

in front of him.

"Look, I said no"said Dejiro.

"Ah, so stubborn. Then simply give me a portion of your soul"

"What, no way!"

"Look brat I want out of this Shadow Realm and I need portions

of souls to do it. Now give me a small portion of your soul!"

said Wity Phantom becoming angry.

Dejiro drew a monster from his deck.

"Go Celtic Guardian!"

It had an ATK of 1400 and DEF of 1200.

"Celtic Guardian, could you take this guy for us?"asked Dejiro.

"I'd be more then happy to"said Celtic Guardian.

Celtic Guardian swung it's sword, however Wity Phantom dodged.

"Wanna play rough, eh?"

Celtic Guardian struck again and again but to no avail.

"I don't get it, Celtic Guardian's attack is higher, he should

be able slash that phantom, unless, of course! Witty Phantom's defense is higher

then Celtic Guardian's, allowing him to dodge my monster's attacks. Maybe I can use

a trap card"thought Dejiro.

Celtic Guardian swung again but no luck. As Wity Phantom spun around, he saw a mirror

in front of him.

"What's this?"he asked.

The Celtic Guardian stabbed Wity Phantom right through the chest. Wity Phantom

fell down, bleeding.

"Man, nothing like in the virtual arenas"thought Dejiro.

"Thanks Celtic Guardian"

"Thank you for helping me. Count on my assistance in the future"

Celtic Guardian went right back into Dejiro's deck.

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

Vendick seemed very pleased by what he saw.

"Most entertaining.Now what to do next? Ah yes,

I have an idea. Dark Eyes Illusionist, do your thing"

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

"Excuse me young lad, can you help me?"asked Witch of the Black Forest.

It had an ATK of 1100 and DEF of 1200.

"Sure, why not? What's the problem?"asked Dejiro.

"That Witty Phantom you just beat has my sister's captive

and planned to sell them. He has partners who will do it

even without him. I'm not nearly strong enough, so may

you help me?"she asked.

"Sure thing"said Dejiro.

"Thank you! Come, I can take us there!"

The eye on her forehead glew, and before Dejiro could even notice

a change in scenery, they were in the halls of somekind of dungeon.

"Whoa, that was quick"said Dejiro.

The Witch of the Black Forest grew a sinister grin.

"Guards, seize him!"

Dozens of Guardian of the Throne room popped out.

It had an ATK of 1650 and DEF of 1600.

"You tricked me!"said Dejiro as 2 of them grabbed his arms.

The Witch of the Black Forest laughed and morphed into

Dark Eyes Illusionest.

It had an ATK and DEF of 0000.

"What kind of Duel Monster are you?"asked Dejiro.

"A very special one Dejiro, one with great power"

"You know my name!"

"Of course I do boy, I need to know who you are

if I'm gonna be using your soul to bring me

back to the real world"

"What!"

"Yes, you heared me!"said Dark Eyes Illusionest.

Dejiro's hands were bound behind him with rope

tied tightly around his body as well.

"You little sneak you! C'mon you coward, why don't

ya untie me and face me like a man!"said Dejiro.

"I'm not a man, I'm a master of Black magic. Soon, your

soul will be used to help revive me"

"Is that so!"said Dejiro.

"Now it's time to begin!"

Dark Eyes Illusionist waved it's arms

which brought them to a large room.

The Guardian of the Throne room dropped him on the ground face

first as the Dark Eyes Illusionist began chanting in a very strange language.

"If I can manage to summon a Duel Monster then he'll free me.

I just hope it's one who'll listen"thought Dejiro.

He wiggled his fingers to his monster card area, and was able to draw.

Out came the Dark Titan of Terror.

It had an ATK of 1300 and DEF of 1100.

"Psst, can you help me out here?"whispered Dejiro.

Dark Eyes Illusionist noticed the Dark Titan of Terror before him.

"Hello there my friend, did he summon you?"

Dark Titan of Terror nodded.

"Remove his device"

Dark Titan of Terror did so.

"Who's side you on!"gasped Dejiro.

"Dark Titan of Terror is an old friend of mine

young Dejiro, now don't interupt. Now I have to start all over"

His Shadow Disk was tossed to the other side. They were all distracted by the

chant so Dejiro made his move. He squirmed over to his Shadow Disk.

With only his legs to push him it was very difficult. However he managed

the trip. He rolled over and sat himself up, his back facing the Shadow Disk.

He drew with his bound hands, and saw Ansatsu.

It had an ATK of 1700 and DEF of 1200.

It came out of his card very silently.

"Ansastsu, please, can you help me out? You're my last

hope buddy. C'mon, for a friend?"

Ansastsu used his blades to slash through the ropes.

"Thanks buddy!"said Dejiro.

Dark Eyes Illusionist turned around.

"Destroy that pesky ninja, then recapture Dejiro"

Ansatsu threw many of his blades at the Guardian of the Throne room,

more were coming however.

"Looks like you'll need some help!"said Dejiro drawing another monster.

"Go Kojikocky! Help us out!"

"Sure thing!"he said.

Dejiro knew Kojikocky was too weak so he drew a magic card.

"Go Invigoration! Power him up!"

Kojikocky slashed the Dark Titan of Terror in half before it could make a move.

Ansatsu had destroyed all of the Guardian of the Throne room.

"Allright, now go for Dark Eyes Illusionist!"

However as they came, a giant cage came down on them both.

They tried slashing through the cage but it was too strong.

"What's the deal!"gasped Dejiro.

"The Nightmare Steel cage, it comes in handy"

"How did you come in use of the power of a magic card!"gasped Dejiro.

"Magic comes natural to those of strength my friend"

Dark Eyes illusionist waved his arms, and Dejiro became surrounded by a Black

mist, with no sign of Dark Eyes Illusionist.

"Where are ya!"said Dejiro.

Out from the fog appeared a Wall of Illusion, which sent him flying back.

It had an ATK of 1000 and DEF of 1850

"C'mon you coward, fight me!"

Jane walked right out of the wall!

"Jane!"said Dejiro.

Another walked out, then another, then more and more.

"Who needs the one you lost, you got all of us"

"We're the same in every aspect,we look exactly like her, smell

like her, wear her clothes, don't you want us instead"

"No, I want the real one!"

"Are you sure about that?"

A bruised Jane appeared in front of Dejiro, her clothes tattered.

"I, loved you. I thought you loved me"

"I do!"

"Then, why, how come you're letting them do this to me!"she said, sobbing.

"I, I tried-

"You let them hurt me!"

"Dejiro, wake up!"said Kojikocky.

"None of this is real, snap out of it!"said Kojikocky.

"Allright, enough games!"said Dejiro.

All the Janes dissapeared, leaving Dark Eyes Illusionist.

"What, you, you-

"Your mind games are over!"said Dejiro drawing a magic card.

"Go Ax of Despair!"said Dejiro.

Kocjikocky broke through the cage and attacked.

"Activate Special ability! I can paralyze an attacking monster!"

"You forgot about me"said Ansastsu.

Dark Eyes Illusionist was slaughtered.

The fog dissapeared, and they were back in town. Kojickock and Ansastu had allready

returned to his monster zone.

"Hang on Jane"said Dejiro"I'm comin for ya, then those Garder Snakes are gonna

be the ones in pain"
