United We Stand

"Stand up! If Vendick arrives and you aren't standing in his presence,

then I'll beat you to a bloody mess! Now stand!"ordered one of the robed men.

"Don't be a fool! Listen, we are not to harm her. We do what Vendick tells us to,

got it?"

"Just shut up. Who do you think you are anyway?"

Calvoc smashed his fist straight across this man's face, sneding him

crashing to the floor, hard, face first.

"I am Calback, second in charge of the Garder Snakes"

"Why should ya be?"asked the man weakly.

"Because I'm the most qualified and am Vendick's closest friend.

Now if you try that again I WILL kill you on the spot"

Jane moaned weakly, trying to crawl out past them. However she could barely move her

body an inch, besides Calback had spotted her.

Calback picked her up and layed her face down on the ground.

"Vendick would appreciate it if you stayed here for him"said Calback.

Calback dragged her to the stair railing. He tied some rope around her wrist, and

tied the other hand to the railing.

Jane had barely even a fraction of her strength to work with so

there's no way she could untie her other hand.

"Now stay put like a good girl"

He gave her a quick slap in the face before walking away.

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

"Well why don't you go on and Roll?"said Duke.

"You got it Devilon"said Joey.

Joey's eyes widened, the next monster was the Dark Magician.

"Yugi's in there, I know it. Better hope I don't roll him,

I allready have Dejiro and Kaiba to worry about"thought Joey.

"Go Dice Roll!"said Joey.

Unfourtanately the summoning was a sucsess.

"NO!"gasped Joey.

"That's too bad Joey, looks like you're gonna lose all your

friends in a glorified death"

Yugi was summoned right in front of Jinzo's path.

It had an ATK of 40 DEF of 40 and Health of 20.

"Joey, use an attack crest so I can take out one of

his heart points"

"Right"said Joey.

"Allright, I'll use an attack crest

and have Dark Magician attack!"

"Nice try! But I'll use Seyaru's special ability with these 2 trap

crests. He can block one attack automaticly"

"NO!"

"With equal stats, both of them will parish!"

"Not so fast! I activate my monster's ability!

If Wheeler gives up a trap crest, I can automaticly destroy

any attacking Dragon monster!"

"Well it just so happens I rolled one!

So Blue Eyes, destroy!"

Seyaru was gone.

"That means my Dark Magician's attack makes it through!"

Duke:2 Joey:3

Duek snickered.

"Not bad Joey, you got the first shot in. Let's see how

my turns serves me"

Duek's eyes widened at the dice in his hand.

"Looks like I have this duel in the bag. Take a look at these dice"

They were level 4 dice and were purple.

"Look like normal dice to me"

"Actualy these are very rare ritual dice. If rolled right, I can sacrafice

2 monsters to summon the one in these dice. So go Dice Roll!"

The roll was a sucsess.

"Yes! Now I sacrafice Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Strike Ninja! So

I can summon Mystical Beast Selket!"

Yugi and Kaiba gasped, while Dejiro was confused.

"What's that?"asked Dejiro.

"I remember that monster, Rashid used it

against me in our duel at the finals.

Record has it that Mystical Beast Serket

has never been beaten in a duel. This is gonna

be rough"thought Joey.

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

"Unfourtanately, my Selket has to arrive in the place of my

Strike ninja but that dosen't matter, because he'll crush

ALL of your monsters!"

"Don't count on it Devilon!"

"Joey, use a magic crest to activate my mystic box ability"said Yugi.

"Right! I use a magic crest to activate my Dark Magician's special

ability!"

Yugi went inside a box that was scured.

"Oh no!"gasped Dejiro.

"Relax Dejiro, he's fine"said Kaiba, having seen this trick

before.

When the box opened, Selket was in it, however not beaten.

"No! THat dosen't make sense, he should gone!"gasped Yugi.

"Take a closer look!"

Instead in there was Buster Blader.

"One of Selket's abilities allows him to switch position

with any of my monsters. So all you did was destroy

my pathetic Buster Blader. He's nothing compared to

my Selket"

"Aw man! We almost had him!"said Joey.

"Almost dosen't cut it in Dungeon Dice

Monsters Joey. But that no longer matters"

"Well it's my move now Devilon!"

The next monster was a Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

"Just what I needed! Now it's time to wipe out Selket,

go Dice Roll!"

However the roll ailed him.

"NO!"

"Aw too bad. That was your last chance, wasn't it?

Well now it's my move"

"Bring it on Devilon!"

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

"Where could they be?"asked Mai.

They had checked the card shop, and even

Joey's house, but they were nowhere to be found.

"Rashid!"

Ichizu ran up to him quickly.

Rashid caught her by the shoulders.

"Calm down, what is it? Where's Malik"

"He ran away from me! We've lost him, he's nothing like

he used to be! His eyes, his voice, it's not his Yami,

it's, I don't know what!"

A sudden flashback hit Rashid.

"Malik will soon be one of us"

"I know where he's going, but we need to find Yugi and the others if

we're going to be of any help"

"You mean you didn't find them?"asked Ichizu.

"I did before, but now they're gone,

I couldn't find them anywhere!"

"What do we have here?"

Mai, Ichizu and Rashid turned to Vendick, unaware of who he was.

"Rashid, what a suprise. Come with me unless you want to miss

Malik take a step into manhood"

"You, you're the leader behind this!"gasped Rashid.

"Why yes I am. You must be Ichizu, and who might you be?"

"Why don't you find out yourself?"asked Mai.

"Spunk, I like that in a girl. Perhaps you should come with me"

"You wish"said Mai.

"Very well, then I'll leave you be. However try and interfere and

you're not gonna have a choice in the matter, understand?"

Vendick walked away.

After a few minutes he made it to Mai's house.

"She's right over there"said Calback as Vendick stepped in.

"Nice work as always Calback"said Vendick.

Vendick walked over to Jane, who stared at him with those weak

eyes.

Vendick kissed her square on the lips.

"How's my baby tonight?"

Jane merely groaned. Vendick untied her hand

at the railing.

"Calback, go fetch me a glass of water"

Calback did as he was told.

Vendick dumped it on Jane's face, helping

to refresh her a little.

"Did you bring the tape?"

Calback tossed it to him.

He carried a chair over in front of the tv. He sat Jane in it.

He tied her hands behind the chair, then tied some rope around where

her hands were, securing her hands to the chair. He then tied her ankles to

the chair legs. Next he took ducktape and used it tape her eyeslids up.

"What you are about to see is what you are. Enjoy"

"With the drugs I put into her, she'll be in a hazy state. She'll watch

6 hours of a girl her age being induced into the cruelist things

imaginable. Watching this will crush her spirit if the drugs work as I

planned them to"thought Vendick.

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

"Go Dice Roll!"

Duek seemed satisfied with his role.

"You see the 2xs on the dice? That means I get 2 of whatever crests I rolled.

So with all 3 dice with 2x movement crests, I can move my mystical beast 6

spaces, right in front of your Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

"KAIBA!"gasped everyone else.

Kaiba however refused to cower.

"Go ahead and make your attack!"

"Fine then! Selket, attack!"

"Nice knowing you, losers"said Kaiba before being swallowed whole.

"Kaiba"said Yugi with tears in his eyes.

"Selket's special ability allows him to absorb half the attack points

of the monster it destroys! This makes Selket's attack and def 50,

and his health 40"

"I swear Kaiba, I'll avenge you"said Joey with tears.

"Then go ahead and try"said Duke.

"Grr, you're gonna pay Devilon! Go Dice Roll!"

He got 2 summons.

"Awesome!"

"Those dice aren't the same level, it won't work!"

"Damn"

"Now it's my turn, go Dice Roll!"

More movement crests.

"Now Serket, go for Cyber Tech Alligator!"

"Dejiro!"gasped Yugi and Joey.

Dejiro closed his eyes.

"Joey, Yugi, please, save my sister. That's all that matters

to me now"

"Jane, I was too weak to save you myself. I'm a pathetic

excuse for a brother, you deserved better, someone like Yugi or Joey"thought

Dejiro as he was swallowed.

"Well at least I got some health from him, making my monster's health 60"

"Dejiro, I'm, I'm sorry"thought Joey as he rolled.

"Nothing"said Joey solemnly.

"Too bad! Go Dice Roll!"

Just what he needed.

"Now Selket, advance towards Jinzo and swallow him whole!"

ATK and DEF 70 Health 80

"Now the only monster leaft is Yugi"thought Joey.

Joey rolled.

"YUGI! NOOOOOOOO!"

"Mystical Beast, attack!"

Yugi was gone.

"Don't think I'm done yet, I rolled an item summoning earlier and now

I'm gonna use it"

"WHAT! Item, what the-

"The vanishing cloak! It transports Selket to any area

on the board, how about in front of your heartpoints!"

"No, no way!"

"Your move"

Joey's roll failed again.

"Selket, attack!"

Duke:2 Joey:2

"Your friends are all gone"

"Soory guys, I let you all down. You're all gone now"thought Joey.

"Don't worry, you'll be with them soon!"
