"Anyone have any ideas they'd like to share?" Beezy said as he, Fader,
Serena, Vega and Dennis stared down the Blue Eyes Toon Dragon. "Anyone?
Fader?"
Fader wished he had an idea. He could only stand at guard, watching the Toon beast and preparing himself for its attack. His eyes darted around the area, surveying it; the entire city had warped itself into the realm of bizarre cartoonish abominations. He looked to Serena and saw the tense expression on her face. Her eyes were locked with hatred at the toon monster, breaking only to shoot Fader a quick glance then back at the dragon. "No don't!" Fader shouted, but it was too late, Serena had already dashed forward and glowing brightly as she transfromed herself into the Blue Eyes White Dragon. In the few steps that it took her to reach the Toon she had completely transformed and slammed the full weight of her new form into the other Blue Eyes, sending the two of them toppling over.
Vega and Beezy both stepped forward, planning to join Serena's attack but Fader held his arms out, blocking them. "Don't," he said.
"Why not?" asked Vega. "Serena needs our help."
"I know," Fader replied. "But not in the way you think. Look up there." Vega and Beezy both looked up and saw a group of shadows bouncing across the rooftops, heading towards them.
"What are they?" asked Beezy.
"Armed Ninjas!" shouted Dennis as he floated above them in the air. He launched a few fireballs at one of them, but missed as the fast moving Ninja dodged his attack.
"Toon Armed Ninjas," corrected Fader, reminding them all that their adversaries would have gone through the same transformations that the Blue Eyes had. "Get ready."
The ninjas landed on the ground surrounding the two clashing titans. Without hesitating both Fader and Vega both attacked with their staves as Beezy rushed forward, slahing with his twin swords. All three of their attackes were futile however, as all three ninjas dissappeared before their eyes.
"They're using a Quick Attack support,"Dennis called down to them. He shifted his position in the air, trying to keep tabs on the roaming attackers. "To the left!"
Fader spun around and saw a Toon Ninja running along the side of one of the buildings and throw something at Serena as she slashed her claws at the Toon Blue Eyes. Ignoring the Toon Ninja as it dissappeared once more in a blur of motion, Fader focused on hte thrown object and opening his palm to it, destroyed it in a flash.
Two more ninjas appeared and dissappeared in similar fashion to thier partner, launching two more objects at Serena. Beezy saw these objects and leaped up, tearing through each object with his swords. As he landed he shouted to Fader and the others. "They're not even paying attention to us. they just keep attacking the Blue Eyes."
"It's Kaiba they wa--," Dennis began to say until he was bashed from behind by one of the Ninjas with a flying kick and was knocked into the ground. Before he could rise the Toon Ninja launched and object at Dennis. The object hit the ground and transformed into a large clay recepticle.
"A Dragon Capture Jar!" exclaimed fader with terrifying realization. The jar began to glow and the glow spread to evelope Dennis, sucking him in. beezy moved to Dennis' aid with unerring speed, dicing the jar to pieces and releasing the Baby Dragon. Vega raised her staff into hte air and called out, "Hinotama!" launching fireballs from hte sky with enveloped the ninja as it fell to the ground, burning it to ashes.
Behind the four of them, the other three Armed Ninjas appeared, each launching another card at Serena. Fader spun around in time to see the three objects flying through the air. "Vega," he shouted to the Fire Princess. She turned, seeing what he was shouting about. Together they attacked once more, but with so little time they were only able to destroy two of the three, and the third cut into the ground right at the feet of Serena's dragon familiar.
Serena didn't even notice as this card changed into another Dragon Capture Jar, she was locked fiercely incombat with the Toon Blue Eyes which twisted and bounced around, evading her attacks. It was just as she managed to strike the Toon with a blacst of white lightning and knock it backwards that she was snared by the grip of the Capture Jar anf dragged inside of its dark depths.
Fader rushed forward and attempted to destroy the jar with a wave fo dark magic, but the bolt from his staff passed right through where the jar had been. The Capture Jar had changed once again, now back into the tiny card projectile it had been before, with Serena now trapped inside. Before Fader could react to the change the three Toon Armed Ninjas appeared beside the card. One bent to pick up the card that held Serena hostage. The other two were facing Fader and launched a flurry of jagged kunai at him.
Just as the Kunai were about to strike him, Fader was hit from behind, knocked to the ground by Dennis; the kunai flying just a few inches above them. Fader looked back to the three ninjas and saw that the one that retrieved the card was moving away down the street, the other two blocking the way.
"We've got to stop that ninja!" Fader said to Dennis.
Dennis took off into the sky flying after the escaping ninja, and the Baby Dragon called back, "I'm on it."
As he watched Dennis fly after the errant ninja Fader noticed something. The ninjas weren't moving with the same speed that they had been before. "Their Quick Attack has worn off," he said to himself. It gave him an idea. As the two remaining ninjas ran forward to attack Fader rose to his feet, standing at ease as they closed in. Just as they swung their swords to strike he shouted out, "Double Magic!" and in the next instant he was gone, and the ninjas connected with nothing.
"Behind you," Fader said to the two toons. They spun around and with his staff aimed at one and a palm open to another Fader setroyed both of them before their virtual eyes could blink.
It was the sound of a roar and crash that snapped Fader back to the moment and he turned to the direction Dennis had flown off to. What he saw was not a Baby dragon in pursuit of a ninja, but instead the ominous Blue eyes Toon Dragon crushing Dennis and laughing manaically. It looked at Fader. "We have Kaiba," it explained. "And not a single one of you can hope to best me in power." it laughed again. "Just give up."
"Maybe not a single one of us," Beezy's voice said. Fader didn't even turn as he heard Beezy and Vega approach and stand on either side of him.
"But you can't beat all of us together," added Vega. the Toon Blue Eyes laughed off the comments and with a scooping motion, tossed Dennis' form towards the other three warriors.
Fader continued staring into the eyes of the Blue Eyes Toon Dragon, and Fader stepped forward, slowly taking one step at a time. He closed his eyes as he stepped forward and began to glow with an intense golden energy. "No," he said sternly, opening his eyes with a fierce gaze.
"What?" Beezy and Vega exlaimed together.
"I will take this battle myself." Fader continued walking until he stood only a dozen meters from the beast. "Now tell me, where did you take Kaiba?"
"I'll tell you nothing, you have no power over me." With that the Toon Dragon slashed at Fader, but its claws hit only air.
"One more chance," Fader shouted from thirty meters down the street, behind the the beast. "Where. Is. Kaiba?" The Toon Dragon roared its answer and let loose a huge burst of white lighting that tore up the very street and it headed straight for the stoic Dark Magician. This time, Fader didn't move. The attack was almost upon him before he finally cried out, "Mirror Force!" The white energy slammed into and invisible barrier and shot back the same way it came; straight into the Blue Eyes Toon Dragon.
As the Toon beast was overwhelmed by the attack it did something that no one expected. It laughed. It howled with vicious laughter that echoed through the twisted streets of Toon World. "It doesn't matter! We have Seto Kaiba! And with him as our captive, Mokuba is at our whim! Kaiba Corp is ours!"
Fader wished he had an idea. He could only stand at guard, watching the Toon beast and preparing himself for its attack. His eyes darted around the area, surveying it; the entire city had warped itself into the realm of bizarre cartoonish abominations. He looked to Serena and saw the tense expression on her face.
