Chapter 19: Darkness Clash pt. 1
Yukio sat in a dark room staring out the window. A low grumble escaped his through. Another man in the room, the cloaked man from before stood in a corner.
"Chaos has promised you a second chance to duel with Ronin".
"I know, but," Yukio held up his duel disk with his deck. "I can't stand this waiting".
Suddenly a cold wind came from an alternative corner of the room. The cloaked man and Yukio faced the corner suddenly. The eye on the medallion around both the mans and Yukio's neck glowed a bright yellow.
"So, primitive fools, still use Shadow Medallions to reach the shadow realm." A kid stepped out of the corner. The silvery messy hair shimmered in the little light in the room.
"Gurabe Degujiu! I knew you were in the tournament beck at the city, how did you get here?" Yukio asked surprised.
A cold laughter came from behind Gurabe's pressed lips. "While traveling through the shadow realm, I sensed this place and the magic you Shadow Medallions were sucking form the Shadow realm."
"Did you want something?" The cloaked man asked catching Gurabe's attention.
"Yes, I wish to duel you Yukio for your Shadow Medallion." Gurabe's duel disk locked into place. "And when I win, my shadow magic will be even stronger"
"What?" Yukio's duel disk locked into place. "What are you talking about?"
"In ancient times, the game of Duel Monsters was played in a different dimension called the shadow realm. A recent invention, the Shadow Medallion allows fools like you to invoke the power of this realm."
"Okkayy" Yukio shrugged "What ever you say punk. Let's just duel".
"Not yet" A dark aura appeared around Gurabe and the eye on the medallion started shining. All around the three people in the room, a dark mist appeared. The area became dark and cold. "Welcome Yukio to the Shadow Realm." Gurabe laughed again.
"What?" Yukio looked around him.
"This is what you medallion is capable of" The cloaked man said to Yukio.
"Yes, now all monsters in this realm are real, plus they can really hurt you. The looser will be lost in the shadow realm." Gurabe motioned to his deck. "Let's duel".

"I get first turn honors." Both draw five cards, then Gurabe drew. "I play, Night of the Living dead." A magic hologram appeared on the field. "This card allows me to send my entire hand to the graveyard to play a Zombie from it, all I must do is skip my battle phase. That really doesn't hurt me on my first turn so". Gurabe slid his hand into graveyard and a large red beast appeared on the field. "I summon Despair From the Dark (2800/3000)." But the ground right by it started shifting and broke open. "Also, when this card is sent straight from my hand to the Graveyard I may summon it immediately." A smaller version of the Despair from the dark appeared "I play, Fear From the dark (1700/1500). That is my turn".
"Wow, two monsters in you first move, but you hand is gone," Yukio drew his card. "Now I will show you what to fear, One monster face down and one card face down go".
Gurabe drew. He glanced at the card then slipped it into his other hand. He pointed to the defense monster. "Go Despair From the Dark, Attack now".
"Bad move, my monster was Zergo's Slug (300/100), when it is destroyed it latches onto the monster that destroyed it and lowers it's power by 1000 for every Zergo monster in my graveyard."
"But you don't have any". Gurabe protested.
"Not yet, anyway so". A large brow slug appeared on the Despair's chest.
"Okay, Fear From the Dark direct attack!"
"Nope reveal reverse card, Quick Fix Monster. It lets me summon a monster to intercept the attack." He pulled a card out of his hand and placed it down on the field "I summon Zergo's Loyal Knight (1000/900) in attack mode". A warrior with daggers in both hands and a long brown torn cape appeared on the field. The Fear from the Dark's claw pierced right through the monster.

"And now a Zergo monster is in the grave, Your monster gets weaker" (1800/3000)
"Fine make your pathetic move."
"Pathetic?" Yukio raised an eyebrow as he placed his hand on his deck, pulling the card off. He smiled when he saw what card it was. "I play Zergo Tainted Cards." A picture of a card being squeezed by a shadowy figure with blood red eyes and large claws appeared. "It let's me draw two cards a turn but then I must discard two." Yukio drew two cards. He smiled when he saw what he had drawn. He flipped the cards around to show them to his opponent. "These are Zergo monsters known as Zergo's Magician (2000/1600) and Zergo's Man Slayer (2600/1900). I send these two to the grave, lowering you monster by 2000 attack points. (0/3000)".
Gurabe shuddered, in one turn his monster went from being the strongest beast on the field to being the weakest.
"Next I play my Zergo Cyborg (1500/1700)". A wolfish creature made out of machine parts appeared on the field. "Attack the Despair from the Dark, Cyber Rage Beam." The monster held up his arm, a laser gun popped out of a hole above the monsters hand. It shot a beam out that pierced Despair's head.

"Next is one card face down, so were was that pathetic move you spoke of?" Yukio mocked but Gurabe just laughed coldly not saying anything.
Gurabe drew. "Now..."
"Whoa!" Yukio raised his hand up, "Before you get to comfy with your turn I play my down card, Zergo Death Valley". A card flipped up showing a valley with a large glowing sphere of light in the middle. "I may sacrifice all monsters on my field if they have Zergo in their name to summon one monster form my grave with Zergo in it's name." The cyborg monster faded away to be replaced with a large brute looking monster. All that it wore was a tattered pair of pants. It's body looked human but it's face was solid round. It had two eyes that had dark blue aura around them. A hatch that covered it's mouth and long pointed ears. "Remember when I play the ability of Zergo's tainted cards? I sent my Zergo's Man Slayer (2600/1900) to the graveyard and now he is back. Continue your move now."
"Fine, I place one monster in defense mode and switch my Fear to defense. Your turn."
Yukio let a wicked smile spread across his face as he drew. "Activate Zergo's tainted cards." He drew two cards, grabbing one of his new cards and one of his old and slid them into his graveyard. "Now I can play Monster Reborn to revive Zergo's Magician (2000/1600) In attack mode." A monster with a dark red cloak appeared on his field. He revealed his hands from the folds in his robe and cupped them together. A rainbow of colors spurted out. "Zergo's Magician lets me pull a magic card from my deck by sacrificing his attack this turn". Yukio removed his deck and shuffled threw them. Pulling out one card he reshuffled his deck and placed it back into his deck slot. A hologram of that card appeared in the cupped hands and started glowing. "I pulled Pot of Greed which lets me draw two more cards." He drew two more cards from his deck. "Now, Attack the Fear from the dark Man Slayer!" The monster punched literally through the monster. The monster faded away in a burst of smoke.
Gurabe drew his card just smiling at Yukio. "Seeing how you were done".
"How did you presume that?" Yukio crossed his arms.
"I saw it on your face now I will play my combo and you will be defeated".
"Try me". Yukio mad the confidence in his voice more powerful with his body language.
Meanwhile the plane was landing at the airport. Reku, Akina, Ronin, and Sachiko were all still pretty shocked about what they had witness down in the cargo hold.
/flashback/
/"I am the dark and the dead, and soon, oh so soon, you will be added to my collection of lost souls".
"What?" Everyone looked really shocked at Gurabe.
He let out even more evil laughter and whipped his head back laughing harder. After a minute he stooped and looked at them again. A dark smoke started rising around his body. "There are forces at work here that you have yet to comprehend, I will be back, get it?" His body, now totally encased in the mist, The mist shimmered and then dispersed, Gurabe was gone./
/end flashback/
"Gurabe was really freaky, even more that the first time we met him..." Reku's sentence just drifted off into a low mumble. Even though his words weren't understandable, they knew what he meant
"Why so sad kids?" Mr. Yoshiharu ask coming up to the kids.
"We aren't sad." Ronin said looking at the man.
"Then why are your faces so long." He looked rather concerned.
"We, met an old dueling friend down in the cargo hold." Akina began.
"And he just kinda freaked us out." Sachiko finished.
"Well, don't let it get you down. You have a tournament to focus on." He smiled at them and the nodded. The five of them walked off down the airport.
