"What are you talking about?" Shouted Vega. "Dennis and I didn't have any
plans with you or any other virus."
"Not that you knew of," the dragon replied. "But you couldn't have played better into our hands better if you had known about it."
"Nothing I've done has been for you. Dennis and I have done nothing but try and stop you."
"Stop us? You couldn't possibly be so naive, can you? Do you think you've been moving through the servers unnoticed? The only reason you haven't been killed is because we needed you to lure Kaiba into the virtual construct. If we killed every person logged into the program would be shut down, but we knew that with people suffering Kaiba would come. And you were our bait."
"Well I'm here," Serena said. "What are you going to do now? Kill me?"
"Oh, no, you are needed alive. Your friends however have served their purpose and can be eliminated."
"Not going to happen," Beezy said, stepping to Serena's side. "We'll fight you."
"And lose. Your characters are too weak to put up any kind of fight. I thought the failed attack by the tiny Baby Dragon would have been enough of an example."
"You didn't beat me yet," Dennis said, rising and flapping his wings out. "And we all still have more then a few surprises to share with you." His wings began to beat faster and faster, lifting his body off the ground and into the air. "Time Wizard!" he shouted, and a familiar tiny monster appeared with him in the air.
The Time Wizard pointed its wand at Dennis and a wave of distoted energy washed over Dennis as the hands on the Time Wizard's clock spun faster and faster. Serena, Beezy and Vega all watched along with the Serpent Night Dragon as Dennis the Baby Dragon's form began to morph and expand. His skin began to wrinkle and changed to a deeper shade of orange hue. A grey beard appeared underneath its chin as its wings and claws expanded to impressive proportons. When he landed back on the ground, the Baby Dragon was gon and the roar of the Thousand Dragon broke the air.
"Still think I'm a weak monster?" The new and improved Dennis asked with a stern gruff voice.
"You may be bigger," the dragon replied. "But it doesn't make you any less weak. As for your surprises, I have one of my own." Before its opponents could react a small white piece of paper appeared in front of each of them, suspended in mid-air. Black text quickly inscribed itself on each piece and energy blasted out in a radial blast over the avatars of Serena, Vega, Beezy and Dennis. "My Time Seal will prevent any of you from activating your support abilities. If you still think that you can beat me though, you're welcome to..."
The Serpent Ngiht Dragon didn't finish its taunt as Dennis slammed into it with the full weight of his avatar's body, sending the serpent into a nereby burning building, causing the wall of the building to collapse around it. As the same time the Serepent pushed itself out of the wreckage, Beezy ran forward and tore into the Serpent's flesh with quick, precise strikes into the monster's body with his swords. it roared and bellowed with each hit and lashed out at Beezy with its claws. beezy dodged the sweeping slash of one of the claws only to catch another across his back as he spun and twisted. He was thrown into Dennis whose own attack was knocked off aim when he was hit by the smaller Sword Hunter.
Vega was about to step forward to join in the attack but Serena's hand clasped onto her shoulder, holding her in place. "Don't," was all Serena said at first. "I've got it covered." Vega stepped off to the side and out of Serena's way as the young Kaiba stepped towards the dragon. As she walked she began to glow bright white, he entire body radiating with energy. The only part of her body that wasn't white were her eyes, which sparked with a fierce blue flame. "You want a challenge," she shouted to the Serpent. "You've got it!" Serena's glowign form twisted and reformed. She grew massive in size and her new features became obvious as a tail and wings appeared out of her back. The White Dragon Paladin was gone, and a Blue Eyes White Dragon was born.
"Impressive," the black dragon replied after her transformation finished. "You are Kaiba without mistake now. Only Kaiba has the Blue Eyes." The Serepent dove forward with uncanny speed and wrapped its lengthy body around the Blue Eyes, trapping her limbs in its musculature. Serena struggled in her new form against the the crushing force of the Serpent's body. As it coiled tighter and tighter Vega and Dennis launched attacks at the black beast; small fireballs shot from Vega's sceptre and a powerful nostril blast from Dennis. Their attacks caused the Serpent Night Drgaon's grip on Serena to loosen just enough for her to break free and cast off her oppressor.
Grabbing onto the Serpent's tail with her avatar's massive claws, Serena tossed the ebony dragon into another surrounding building wall. She opened her jaws wide and energy began to surge and collect between her massive jaws. A white bursting attack of lightning shot forth and completely enveloped the Serepent Night Dragon.
As the energy tore apart the Night monster it let out a final shout over the powerful sounds of Serena's attack. "You may have beaten me," it cried out. "But if you think your fight is over you couldn't be more wrong. Your struggles have just begun and none of you will leave this place alive." In another second, it was gone, lost to the void of of the dead. The players relaxed and in a flash Serena and Dennis reverted back to their original forms.
Beezy walked up to Serena. "How did you do that?"
"The transformation?"
"I thought that the Time Seal was stopping any of us from using support abilities? But then you changed into the Blue Eyes."
"The support abilities were blocked," she replied. "But I wasn't using one. I used the innate special ability of the White Dragon Paladin, the ability to transform into a Blue Eyes for a short period of time."
Vega and Dennis joined their two allies. Beezy looked at Dennis. "And you, I thought that only magic and trap cards could be used as support cards. Last time I checked Time Wizard wasn't either of those."
"It's the Baby Dragon's ability," Serena answered."it allows the Baby Dragon to use a Time Wizzard's effect to manipulate time as a magic card."
"I think it's time to get out of here," said Vega. "We've got to get to everyone else and make sure they're alright."
"Agreed," serena asked, nodding. they made their way to the service hub gateway. like the rest of the town the area was laid to waste, thankfully though the Server gate was still intact. Serena walked over to the control panel to open up their access to the next server. Looking at the readout she was surprised. "Vega look at this," she called out to the other girl. "I thought you said that one five servers were open?"
"There are."
"Not according to this.," Serena added studying the display.
Vega joined her at the console. "That server, it's never been open before."
"I don't recognize it." Serena said shaking her head.
"Neither do I."
"Let's cut the chit chat and go," said Dennis.
"I'm all for that," Beexy agreed.
Serena tapped in a few commands. "No luck." She ezamined it a little while longer. "There's some kind of lock on it."
"Let's have a look," Vega said, punching in some commands of her own. "The lock looks like it has five sequences to it, but one is disabled."
"Where do we go from here?" asked Beezy.
"Back to the original plan," Serena replied. "We go to the other servers to gatehr the other player characters. Are we ready to go Vega?"
"All set." Vega hit a final button and the server gate sprang to life. Serena took the first step through with Dennis, Beezy and Vega a few steps behind.
* * *
"So where are we?" Beezy asked.
"The Sleeping Valley of the Pharoah," Vega told him. "The Necrovalley."
"This isn't right," Serena said as she looked at their surroundings. All around them huge walls of rock were built up from the floor of the valley, closing them in. "We're in hte middle of no where. We should have been brought to the hub in this server. The same thing happened when Beezy and I first logged in."
"Whatever is controlling the program is trying to make it as difficult as possible for people to get around," Dennis added.
It was at that moment that they all became aware of a low rumbling noise that was growing louder and louder. the greound began to shake and rumble beneath them, becoming more intense as the seconds ticked by. As the shaking increased, rocks began to fall away from the area walls. Then around the bending twists of he valley a group of ten Giant Soldiers of Stone appeared marching like a small army. They stopped short blocking the path.
Beezy drew his swords. "I'm guessing that a welcoming comittee wasn't prgrammed into the game?" Serena shook her head. "Good. I was worried for a second that we wouldn't be able to fight for our lives."
"Doesn't look liek you're going to get that opportunity Beezy," Vega told him. She pointed upwards. "Look." the four of them looked up to see pitch black clouds begin to form of the stone giants' heads. energy of lightning began to collect and gather around the center of the clouds. With a powerful force a huge bolt of lightning crashed down straight into the army of monsters, the explosion kicking up a huge cloud of dust. Only a single figure's shadow could be made out in the dust where that group of monsters had been. The figure stepped forwards towards the group as the last bits of dust settled and dissappeared into the wind, revelaing itself as the Dark Magician.
"Took you all long enough to get here," said Fader, folding his arms across his chest.
"Not that you knew of," the dragon replied. "But you couldn't have played better into our hands better if you had known about it."
"Nothing I've done has been for you. Dennis and I have done nothing but try and stop you."
"Stop us? You couldn't possibly be so naive, can you? Do you think you've been moving through the servers unnoticed?
