Chapter Five
The next morning, they were up bright and early to head for the castle to rescue their friends. Yami and the others insisted on going along in case Marik tried something. Ryo wanted them to just stay here but they won in the end.
They started out early heading for the Dynasty. In the castle, Ayame and Cye was forced along toward the throne room. They were pushed into the throne room where Marik was standing with Talpa. Marik was planning to engage Ayame in a duel and see if she'd actually beat him even if he didn't use his Egyptian God Card.
"Time to see if you could beat me without me using my God Card," he said approaching her. They chained Cye to the wall while they placed a chain around Ayame's foot to keep her from going anywhere. She had her deck in her back pocket. This time she wasn't going to use her water deck. She had a much powerful deck."
"Let's get this over with," Marik said taking out his own deck, "You can start."
"I activate the magic card Hinotama taking away 100 of your life points," Ayame said starting out. "Then I'll activate Mooyan Curry to up my life points by 200. Then I place two cards face down and put Flame Viper in attack mode and end my turn."
"I place one card face-down and put Executor-Makyura in defense mode," Marik said.
"I activate my trap card Torrential Tribute, destroying your Executor-Makyura," Ayame said. "Then I'll use Monster Reborn to bring back your Executor-Makyura. Then I'll sacrifice that and my Flame Viper to summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon. Now Red-Eyes, attack his life points directly."
Marik watched his life points go down to 5600. "I'll play my Monster Reborn to summon Executor-Makyura in defense mode and then put Viser Des in defense mode."
"Red-Eyes, attack and destroy his Viser Des.
"I'll place one card face down and also put Temple of Skulls in defense mode."
"Attack his Temple of Skulls, Red Eyes."
"I play Executor-Makyura in defense mode."
"Destroy his Executor-Makyura."
"I place one card face-down and end my turn," Marik said, anger in his voice and in his eyes.
"I play Messenger of Peace which immobilizes your Executor-Makyura for one turn," Ayame said. "Then Red-Eyes attack and destroy his Executor-Makyura."
Marik drawed his next card and frowned, seeing he had nothing. "I pass this turn."
"I place Darkfire Soldier #2 in attack mode and have it attack your life points directly, dropping them down to 3800. Then my Red-Eyes attack your life points dropping them lower down to 1400."
'I thought she just used her water deck,' Marik thought to himself, 'Where did this deck come from.' "I pass this turn."
"You lose this duel Marik," Ayame said. "Now, Darkfire Soldier #2 attack his life points and end this duel."
"Good job Ayame," Cye said from where he was chained.
Marik was furious about losing. He went over and punched Ayame right in the stomach, taking the breath out of her. She doubled over in pain.
"You little," Cye yelled trying to break loose from the chains that held him.
Ayame caught her breath and stood up. "Take her back to the dungeons," Talpa said. "Leave Torrent here for the time being."
They removed the chain from around her ankle and took her back to the dungeons, leaving Cye alone with Talpa. Meanwhile, the Ronins and their friends had just entered the Dynasty gates and started for the castle.
