Authors Comments: The duelling starts next chapter! Promise on this one! This chapter focuses on the fallout of Kuletues's failed attempt to kill Ramna, so don't flame me! We will however, find out who Ramna's opponent in the 1st round will be...

Chosen 4: Shadow Games
Chapter 5: Fallout and Threads Entwined
Ramna awoke in the hotel room and was immediately aware of the pain in his ribs and his hand flaring into action. Last night's fight with that human colossus had clearly taken its toll on him, at least one rib had broken and it would be days before the swelling in his hand would go down to a level where it would be useable again. 'Looks like I'll have to duel one handed then... Oh Shit! I forgot to learn the rules last night caus' of that brute trying to tear my head off! And where do I have to go for Round 1?' He rose out of the bed and began to slip clean clothes onto his body while trying to read the city map to work out where he had to go AND learn the rules for Duel Monsters. At least he had remembered, before he thought he was going to die, to find out which opponent he was facing...
At this point in time, Ramna's opponent, Number 49, was already at the location waiting for his unknown opponent to turn up. Luckily for Ramna, this was also Number 49's first tournament, but Number 49 was under the belief that he had a lot to live up to and was prepared to give it all he had... 'I'll show everyone I'm just as good as CERTAIN other people...'
Midday.
The sun began to intensify in heat and light, and to an impatient (and hot) Ryou Bakura, his opponent was taking far too long to arrive for their duel... "I say, can't you call Pegasus or someone and see if there's a reason why my opponent's not turned up yet?" He asked the referee. The referee shrugged his shoulders and, taking out a mobile phone, dialled into main duelling headquarters. The Spirit of the Millennium Ring, listening in from his worthless host, smirked to himself. He knew full well that his opponent wasn't going to turn up for the duel, or anything else, ever again...
Joey turned down the alleyway and waited for his opponent to turn up. His cold had developed into something more severe since yesterday and those festering sores beginning to appear on his body worried him slightly... 'Can't let anyone know though, gotta help Yug' save the world from Pegasus...' Seconds later, a robed figure rounded the corner, followed by others dressed in the same manner. Rare Hunters! "Remember us, Mr Wheeler..." "We're your opponent for today..." "Imagine our surprise when we found out you were our opponent" "But since you don't look so well, Mr Wheeler, why don't you just give us your cards and we'll be done with it..." The Rare Hunters advanced as one...
Shinji Ikari waited on top of a building where the map had told him to go, Asuka and Rei were somewhere else within the city and Misato had decided that, since the tournament was so public and security so high, that it would be safe for each of them to go their separate ways for round one. This may have been correct, but it didn't stop Shinji's wait for his opponent, No...91? from being any less boring... 'I didn't even want to play this stupid game! Why does Misato and Commander Fuyutski make me do things like this?' Unfortunately for everyone's favourite angsting EVA pilot, he was about to be jolted out of his self-absorbed moaning thoughts... With a knife at his throat to be precise. "Scream, or make any kind of sound, Murderer, and I will slit your throat..." came a voice from behind Shinji. The person then grabbed a phone from out of his pocket. "Sponge, did you get the German bitch?" "Yes, Oh Great and Supreme One!" came a sarcastic response "Stop kicking me girl!". A flurry of German swearwords could than be heard. "Acshlock!, Pervertamit!, Schwinehund!" "For Kami-sama's sake Sponge, can't you keep a 14 year old girl quiet?" "You're not the one being kicked!" "Fine then, take her to the place we arranged, and then go and get the First Child..." Shinji turned round in shock at this, ignoring the knife digging into his throat, and saw... "Kaworu?..." "Not quite, murderer, soon both you and Saotome will get what you deserve..."
Interdimensional Duel Monsters Tournament HQ, Pegasus's Office.
Kroke stood before Him. He had every reason to prepare for death at His hands. "A thousand pardons for my intrusion, Masters Pegasus and Slaanesh, but we have problems being reported in..." Pegasus sipped a glass of wine calmly "And they are, Kroke?" "We have two failed arrivals at duelling arenas, Masters." "And this concerns me because?" "One of them is the boy you designated to the eliminators as a main target..." "Saotome? He'll turn up in time..." He was going to kill him over the next missing entrant..., Kroke thought. "The other is Kuletues..." Kroke covered his head with his hands. Pegasus swore, the glass tumbling to the floor, shattering on impact. "Where is he? Find him immediately!" "Actually Sirs, the media already have..." cowered Kroke switching a monitor in the room to a local news channel.
"...Reports still coming in of the gigantic man found electrocuted to death by Domino City Hall this morning, the police have taken the body for autopsy and are treating his death as suspicious at this time. Rumours of the man wearing extraordinary armour are still unconfirmed at this time..."
Slaanesh's features burst forth onto Pegasus's face. Kroke knew at this moment that He was most likely to kill him for the bad news... Slaanesh grabbed Kroke one-handed and threw him against the wall, maintaining an unbreakable grasp on Kroke's shirt so he could hold him up against the wall. "Get that body back and out of the authorities hands now!" Kroke broke several land speed records getting out of the room. Pegasus's features returned to his face, and he turned to face a picture of Cecelia on the wall, this particular picture having Cecelia leering at the portrait's viewer. "Soon you shall return to me Cecelia, once I have performed this one great task for Chaos, they shall restore you to flesh for me, but for now I must deal with incompetent fools..."
Ramna finally made it to the location, hopefully now he had a few minutes to read up on the rules before his opponent arrived... "You took your time getting here, loser!" said a voice from the opposite side of the area Ramna looked up from the rulebook. "Looks like I have to beat a newbie!" said Mokuba Kaiba...
End of Chapter.
Well, after so long waiting, Ramna will finally duel in the next chapter! Mokuba may not be the most glamorous of opponents, but he'll more than a challenge for Ramna! Find out what happens in the next chapter, Ramna Vs Mokuba, or, how I learned to stop worrying and learn how to play Duel Monsters!
Until then, please read and review!
