United We Stand

Vendick suprisingly wasn't watching Yugi and co.

in the shadow realm. He re-entered the cell of

Jane, who was thrashing around, trying to free herself.

Vendick allready had a a glass of drugged water ready.

He sat ontop of her and forced it down her throat.

Afterwards he took a needle out and injected somekind of

other drug into Jane's body.

"How do you feel?"asked Vendick.

Jane didn't respond, rather spat in his face. Vendcik wiped it offand gagged Jane quickly.

"You won't be spitting on anyone now will you! Now how are you? Nod if good, shake if bad"

Jane simply turned over and faced the opposite direction trying to work off her gag.

"Fine then just lay there miserably you brat"

Vendick walked out, he was growing tired of her rebellion.

He went back to watch over their progress in the Shadow Realm.

"Now for the climax of the century"

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

"Stay close kid, and whatever you do just let me handle everything. Don't play any

cards, got it?"

Dejiro nodded. However Kaiba wasn't gonna be much help as a Trap Hole appeared above them.

Before they knew what was going on, they fell through.

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

"Hey Yug, we're out!"said Joey.

They had made it out of the forest with little difficulty.

They were now outside of somekind of tower.

"What do ya think's in there?"asked Joey.

"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this"said Yugi.

"Well let's-

A Trap Hole appeared below Yugi, and he was sent plunging down.

"Yugi!"gasped Joey.

The Trap Hole dissapeared.

"If you wanna find your friends, step on inside"said a cocky voice.

"You got it!"

Joey busted through the doors to find somekind of weird arena.

"What's the deal!"gasped Joey.

"Don't worry Joey Wheeler, I'll explain everything"

Something elevated above the floor. It was a boy Joey's age. He had

Black hair with a Red bandana with Black Diamons all around it. He had

a Red vest over a Black T-shirt with matching Black pants and shoes. He

had earings as well.

He had dice in his hand, and he was tossing them lightly.

"You're one of them Garder Snakes, aren't ya?"asked Joey.

"I guess you could say that, yes. The name's Duke Devilon.

If you want your commrads back, then you'll have to defeat me"

"No problem Duke! My deck's gonna-

"Hold on. We aren't playing Duel Monsters Joey. We're gonna play

a game called Dungeon Dice Monsters"

"Dungeon Dice?"

"That's right. Step onto the arena and I'll explain"

Joey did so, as did Duke. A slot opened with many dice

in them.

"These dice will be randomized and you'll get 3 every turn.

There are 6 crests. Summoning which allows you to summon a monster.

Magic and trap which you need to activate monster abilities,

movement to move your monster, attack to attack with and defense to

put your monster in defense mode. In order to win, you have

to reach the other side of the board and attack your opponent's heart points.

Each player get's 3 and that's it"

"Allright, got it so far"said Joey.

"Good, then game on!"

"What, but I-

3 dice came up on Joey's field.

"Don't worry Joey, I'll take the first move"said Duke with his dice.

"Just remember when I win you let us out of this dump!"said Joey.

"Don't worry, I will. However I'm not so sure about your chances.

This is my game Joey, I'm a master of dice. That's why I made this game"

"You made this up! Figures!"

"Yes, and now it's time to learn Dungeon Dice the hard way"

"We'll see about that Devilon!"

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

Calback now joined Vendick in watching the 2 play.

"Just wait until Joey learns some of the other stipulations

in this game"said Vendick.

Calback smirked.

"He's finished"

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

"It's my move, go Dice Roll!"

Joey remembered the crest symbols and saw

only part of the sucsess of Duke's roll.

"Summoning crests, so now I can place a monster on the board. Dimension

the dice!"

A small path piece appeared on the board with a monster.

"Meet Vorse Raider the man Beast!"

It had an ATK of 20 DEF of 10 and Health of 30.

"See that path? It's not much now, but everytime you summon

a monster, a piece of your dungeon path is built. Together they create a

path to lead into your Heart points"

"Fine with me Devilon! Go Dice Roll!"

He got a summoning crest.

"Allright, I got one! Now your monster's got

something to worry about"

"No he dosen't. You see Joey in order to summon

a creature you need 2 summoning crests"

"What!"

"Go Dice Roll!"

Duke got another summoning.

"Perfect! Now I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight!"

It had an ATK of 10 DEF of 30 and Health of 30.

"Now you have 2 monsters to go through"

"Fine with me! Go Dice Roll!"

He got 2 summoning crests.

"Allright, a summoning!"

"Not quite Joey. You see the dice have levels.

The level detirmines what level monster you

can summon. You have a level 4, 3, and 1 die. Meaning you

can't summon anything!"

"You little worm! You held the rules back on purpose!"

"That's right and now it's my move! Go Dice Roll!"

He couldn't summon anything.

"HA! No monster for you"

"Perhaps not but these will come in handy later"

Joey snatched the dice off the board angrily.

"Go Dice Roll!"

At last, he could summon a monster.

"Allright! Now I play this monster!"

From the piece of dungeon path appeared his Swordsman

of Landstar.

It had an ATK of 10 Def of 10 and Health of 20.

"What a pidiling monster! That thing won't do anything except

make me use up an attack crest"thought Duke.

"It's my move, go Dice Roll!"

Duke sighed with pleasure.

"Another summoning, now I summon Buster Blader!"

It had an ATK of 30 DEF of 20 and Health of 20.

"Just one block is seperating our dungeon paths.

So I'll use a defense crest I stored to switch Gearfried to

defense mode. His special ability raises his defence by 20 for

every extra defense crest, making his defense 50"

"Stored crests?"

"Don't tell me! Yes, you didn't store any of your crests! HA HA!

You just wasted all of those rolls!"

"No fair, you barely told me the basics before we started, this

isn't fair!"

"Well that's too bad Joey. You're just gonna have to manage"

"Fine I will!"

Joey snatched his 3 dice.

"Go Dice Roll!"

"Level 3, not bad"thought Duke.

The monster the appeared was Cyber Tech Alligator.

It had an ATK of 20 DEF of 15 and Health of 20.

However, Dejiro's face was there on the monster!

"Dejiro! Hey, what stunt you pulling Devilon!"

"Simple. Everytime you roll the faviroute monster

of one of your friends, their soul goes into that monster.

I made sure to put the dice containing your friends into

your slot. So if the monster containing your friend is destroyed,

the soul is destroyed and can't be brought back!"

"What!"

"Also your friend Dejiro is leaft helpless.

My Buster Blader could hack that thing with ease.

Thanks to his Dungeon path, the paths of your swordsman is

linked with mine. But I don't even have to go through your

swordsman, because thanks to your careless mistake to put

your monster in that area, I have open acsess to your monster!

Now I'll use the movement crests stored to move my monster right up!"

With the crests used, Buster Blader was only one block away.

"Lucky break Joey, but it dosen't matter. On my next turn

Dejiro will be gone, FOREVER!"
