Pegasus walked over to his bed, laid down and turned out his lamp. He had just closed his right eye, when he heard a sound.
He sat up.
"What was that?" He looked over at his window, which was open, and the breeze was blowing the curtain.
The full moon was shining bright, and the moonlight was casting on his floor. Pegasus got up, and then closed the window.
"It was just the wind. Now, I'll just get myself a midnight snack."
Pegasus walked into his kitchen, prepared his snack (which was a sandwich with peanut butter on it, and a glass of orange fruit juice.)
He then washed his hands, and sat down.
He picked up his sandwich and was about to take a bite out of it, when he saw a shadow watching him from the corner of the room.
"Do you mind? I'm eating here! Now, get out of here, Croquet and excuse me." He then bit into his sandwich.
The shadow did not move.
"Excuse me, I'm eating." Pegasus said, finishing off the two last bites. "I think I'll get myself another. Now, excuse me." Pegasus said, sipping his drink. His drink spilled all over when the table was pounded from the hand of the shadowed figure.
"Hey, what did you do that for?" Pegasus said. "You're fired. Get a life. I can stand anything except for you, Croquet."
"Pegasus, I am not who you think I am." The shadowed figure said.
"Why is your name Croquet then?" Pegasus retarded.
"I am not Croquet, but your next dueling opponent." The figure corrected him. "I quit dueling." Pegasus replied. "What type of dueling?" He asked after thinking it over.
"The shadow game which you recreated and called Magic and Wizards."
"So, you're a shadow duelist." Pegasus exclaimed. "Come back tomorrow when I've had my sleep, and tea."
The shadow lifted up their hand and Pegasus gasped when his cards appeared floating above his head.
"How'd you do that? I want answers! Okay, I'll duel you." Pegasus said, grabbing the deck, and shuffling. "After my second sandwich, because you rudely interrupted me." Pegasus said, about to get up and make a sandwich.
"..." The shadowed figure ignored him, and summoned a black, misty fog. "Duel. Now." The shadow demanded, slapping the table again. His glass fell from the table, and disappeared when it should've smashed into a billion shards on the floor, which was now no more. "If you step out of your chair, then you'll disappear and be no more." The shadow said to him. Pegasus looked up at it.
"Fine, I'll duel you. But if I win, you have to make me three sandwiches." Pegasus said stubbornly.
"And if I win, your life is mine."
"Fine, shuffle your deck." Pegasus said, shuffling his deck. The shadow then shuffled. Another shadow appeared and stood a few feet from the table. "Now, who are you?" Pegasus asked, looking over at them. "Duel begin." This shadow said. Pegasus drew his hand. "Pegasus goes first!" The second shadow demanded. "I'll draw, and play two cards face-down, and a monster card facedown in defense mode. And end my move."
The shadow drew a card. "Hmm.. three cards face-down and Gearfried the Iron Knight."
(ATK/1800 DEF/1600) "And attack..." Pegasus's card was Rogue Doll, and was destroyed. "Your move, Pegasus."
"I'll draw one card, then play a monster F-Down." Pegasus ended his move. "I draw..." The shadow looked over the cards. "I'll end my move after attacking with Gearfried the Iron Knight."
Pegasus's card, Muka Muka, was destroyed.
Pegasus drew a card. "I play a card F-down and a monster card F-down then end my move."
The shadow drew. "Hmm.. I play a monster F-down and end my turn after attacking."
Pegasus's card was the Witch of the Black Forest.
(Effect : When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, move 1 monster with a DEF of 1500 or less to your hand. Your deck is then shuffled.)
"Hmm. Fine, I will." Pegasus looked though his deck and added it to his hand, "Eureka!" then shuffled. "And now it's my turn. I draw." Pegasus declared. "... It's your turn."
"Hmm... And now, I attack."
(Pegasus LP : 6200)
"My turn, I draw Toon World, only joking." Pegasus said. "But I do play one card card F-Down."
"I play Dian Keto the Cure Master, and gain 1000 LP."
(Shadow LP : 9000)
"And attack your LP."
(Pegasus LP : 4400)
"Your move." The shadow told Pegasus.
"I will draw then. Ha, I will play a card F-down." Pegasus said. "Your move."
"I play a card F-down, and activate Gift of The Mystical Elf."
(Shadow LP : 9600)
"Your move, Pegasus."
Pegasus drew a card, "Grrr..." He growled slightly. "It's your turn."
"I'll attack your life-points." The shadow declared.
(Pegasus LP : 2600)
"Now, I'll draw, and play a monster F-down in Defense mode." Pegasus said, sighing.
"I draw, and play a card F-down." The shadow said. "And attack."
Pegasus card : Mask of Darkness
(Effect : Select one Trap from your Graveyard and return it to your hand)
"That's kinda useless... Now it's my turn, and I draw, and there's nothing you can do about it." Pegasus said. "It's your turn..."
"Okay..." After a second... "I summon Milus Radiant. Increases all Earth monsters by 500 and decreases all Wind monsters by 400. And attack with my Gearfried the Iron Knight who is now 2300!"
"Well, I activate Enchanted Javelin!" Pegasus declared.
(Effect : When your opponent's monster attacks, increase your LP by the attacking monster's ATK points)
(Pegasus LP : 4900)
"..." The shadow muttered furiously.
A third shadow appeared behind the first, he was breathing heavily. And then he opened his eyes, which were flaming bright red.
Pegasus screamed in terror, and felt like fainting. "I feel like fainting..." Pegasus said, panting.
"You must win..." The third shadow said threateningly. "Defeat him before he gets the right card."
"Grr... I know what I'm doing!" The first shadow snapped. The red eyes then disappeared.
"I draw, and play this card. I get 1000 LP." Pegasus said, playing Dian Keto the Cure Master.
(Pegasus LP : 5900)
"Anything else?" The shadow inquired.
"Well, yes actually. I play Black Illusion Ritual, and sacrifice two monsters from my hand!"
"Oh my gosh, what's happening?" The shadow said, mocking surprise.
"To summon Relinquished!" Pegasus declared. "And now, I take Gearfried's ATK and DEF to Relinquished's."
"Oh, okay." The shadow replied, dully. "Now, it's my turn. I draw." The shadow looked at their card. "I summon Harpy's Brother and equip with Malevolent Nuzzler, and attack."
"You lose LP!" Pegasus said. The shadow stared, and realized he was right. Because of Milus Radiant, Gearfried was 2300, and Harpy's Brother was 1400 but with M.N. was 2100.
(Shadow LP : 9400)
"Darn it..." The shadow glared at him. "I pay 500 LP to get Malevolent Nuzzler to the top of my deck again."
(Shadow LP : 8900)
"When's it my turn?" Pegasus asked. "Oh, I draw." He drew a card.
"That's it!" The shadow was about to stand up and kill Pegasus, when the red eyes appeared again.
"Do you want to be disqualified?" The red eyes asked.
"Ah... To Hades with you, Pegasus!" The first shadow yelled at Pegasus. "It's your turn."
"I draw... And flip Penguin Soldier! Returns two monsters to your hand, but you only have one anyway!" The shadow sighed in relief.
"You can't do that! Oh, wait, you can." Pegasus stared in disbelief. "It's over..."
"Darn right it is!" The shadow barked at him.
"I don't wanna die..." Pegasus moaned.
"Pegasus, make your move, or you'll be banished!" The second shadow demanded.
"I draw, and end my move..." Pegasus said, sighing.
"Finally, my move..." The shadow drew a card and looked at it. "And now, I equip Malevolent Nuzzler, wait, TWO Malevolent Nuzzlers to Penguin Soldier! Making him 2150 and I attack your LP!"
(Pegasus LP : 3750)
"Hahahaha!" The shadow cackled.
"No way I can win!" Pegasus said. "Unless if a miracle happens, and I draw Toon World." He added to himself. "Your move..." The shadow said.
"I draw, and play this F-down in Defense mode." Pegasus said. "That's it?" The shadow asked. "Hmm-mmm." Pegasus replied.
"Alright. I draw..." The shadow said. "I play Chain Energy, and attack with Penguin Soldier!" The Penguin Soldier trodded over to Pegasus's card, and sliced up Uraby. "Oh... And I use Gearfried the Iron Knight to attack your LP."
(Pegasus LP : 1450)
"Argh... My turn... I draw... And play Fissure."
Milus Radiant disappeared. "You lose 500 for just playing that because of Chain Energy." The shadow informed him.
(Pegasus LP : 950)
"I'm blacking out..." Pegasus groaned. "Okay, my turn." The shadow said, happily. "And now, I attack your life-points!"
Pegasus screamed as the his life points were brought down to 0.
Pegasus sat up in his bed, screaming his head off. "Save me! I don't want to die! Help me!" Pegasus opened his eye and looked around. "Wha? I-It was just a dream..." He sighed in relief as he fell back against his pillows.
Shadi appeared standing next to him. "That's what you think, you fool..."
Pegasus sat up and Shadi disappeared. "Who's there? Maybe a sandwich will calm me down..."
When Pegasus entered his kitchen, he walked over to his refridge.
"Ah, nothing like a sandwich." Pegasus said, taking the ketchup out, and stepped back to close the refridge.
"AH!" He pulled the chair, sat in it, and looked at his bleeding foot.
He had stepped in glass.
He looked at the floor and noticed the glass shards all over. And the spilled orange juice.
"IT WASN'T A DREAM!" Pegasus screamed as he pulled the glass out of his foot.
