Chapter Six: Sealed By Darkness
Ryu and Autumn stepped off the plane and looked around. They weren't exactly sure what they were looking for, but it had to be something important. Otherwise they wouldn't have been told to come here. That was of course unless..... "Say Ryu, you don't think this is a trap do you?"
"Of course it's a trap. But the fact that we know it's a trap means we've got the advantage. We can get the jump on our would-be jumpers. See? Perfect logic." Despite Autumn's affection for the older teen, at that current moment she happened to believe he was an idiot. What kind of crappy logic was that when he deliberately led them into a trap?
"Ah, that's what we're looking for!" Ryu's gaze had fallen on a limo, and the man standing in front of it holding up a sign. It said Strength and Friendship. They shot each other glances and then shrugged, walking up to the limo. The man nodded politely to them and then opened the door, letting them get in.
"When's the part where we get the jump on our would-be jumpers?" Ryu shrugged as the door was shut behind them, and the driver got into the driver's seat. The sound of the engine coming to life was all they needed to tell them that they were getting moving. Now they'd just have to figure out exactly when to make their move.
"I say for now we enjoy the drive and enjoy the fact that it's a limo. See, wine!" Autumn's left eye twitched at the sight of her boyfriend holding up a bottle of what looked like extremely expensive champagne. It didn't matter that he was seventeen and she was fifteen, he just happened to think it was cool that there was wine there. In fact, he was now fiddling with other things in the limo.
"Look at this! They've got a portable telephone, just like what you see in the movies!" Autumn's left eye continued to twitch, and she felt the slight pressure from her right eye that said it wanted to twitch as well. As crazy as the situation was, she couldn't tear her eyes away from the odd display of child-like joy at such simple things.
"And a TV!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In much the same way that Ryu and Autumn had departed their plane, Kai and Dalin were also exiting their plane. Only theirs was a bi-plane and it was stopped in a port near San Francisco. The other big difference was that there was no limo waiting for them. "Dalin, they did offer us a private plane and someone to meet us when we landed."
"But it was a trap." The two stepped out of the plane and onto the dock. Kai was dressed in loose brown pants that were brushed about by the wind, a white t-shirt, and oddly enough for him....a Hawaiian t-shirt. He had a bag in one hand with the rest of his clothes in it, and a duel disk in the bag as well.
"Yeah, but since we knew it was a trap we could have gotten the jump on our would-be jumpers." Dalin stopped suddenly at these words, turning to gaze back at the younger duelist. Dalin was dressed in tan cargo pants and wearing a blue sleeveless shirt with a red over-shirt....well over it. His eyes narrowed as if in confusion.
"That's just bad logic. We're in the general area they wanted us to be, so we'll do searching on our own. Don't worry, if we don't find any sign of them, they'll find us. But we won't be at the disadvantage that we would have been had we taken their offer." Kai shrugged, accepting the validity of his companion's answer. Of course, he had also been thinking about the fact that since someone would have been their to meet them, they could have tried to get answers out of whoever it was.
"Do you think they would have had a limo for us?" XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Joey and Tristan were following the train tracks. Joey was carrying the slumped form of the defeated Rex Raptor over his shoulder, and doing so in this heat was really starting to get to him. He and Tristan had set a limit to the number of steps they would make before they played a game of rock-paper-scissor to decide who carried next. "Damn it all!"
Despite his usual luck, Joey had lost the game. That meant he was stuck carrying Rex even further. Idly he wondered about Yami and Tea. Those two were probably kicking back in the train, enjoying the air conditioning and the drinks that were available onboard. Sitting in the lap of luxury while he and Tristan, mostly him, were trudging through miles of nothing.
"Boy could I go for some luxury right now. Wish we still had that limo with the wine. Oh! And that telephone! Can't forget the TV!" Tristan shot a look over his shoulder at his mumbling companion and then shook his head. Better to ignore it then make any response. When Joey was annoyed he tended to mumble as much as he did while he was asleep. At least in this case he wasn't talking about donuts.
"Damn I wish I had some donuts."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As soon as Yami and Tea had awoken they had oddly enough been greeted by a dog that looked much like a wolf. It had jumped on Tea and started licking her. The people who had been taking care of them were an old man and his young daughter....or maybe granddaughter. Yami wasn't quite clear on that.
"You miss him right? Well there's a special valley not too far away where you can get the chance to meet him once more for the time being. It helps you see things within your soul." The old man's words were as such. He had spoken of a place where Yami could go to meet with Little Yugi and maybe talk to him for a little bit. Yami had decided to take him up on the offer, so they were being lead to the place.
What they found, after perilous adventures over narrow ridges and sheer drops, was a circle of stones arranged in an unusual pattern. Only Yami had been allowed to pass, and he continued onwards towards the center, watching as images of all the foes he had faced shifted about around him. Suddenly the lights coalesced and took shape right in front of him.
"Yugi...."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
What had transpired had hardly instilled that much of a greater amount of confidence in the former Pharaoh. Yugi had taken shape and had challenged him to a duel, giving his own reasons for it. The duel had started with the two of them having a completely identical hand, until Yugi used the Card Destruction magic card to force them to discard and draw new cards.
Upon doing so Yugi had used the Seal of Orichalcos, explaining that if darkness was a part of Yami and if Yami was just a reflection of him, then it would make sense for him to have the Seal in his deck. Despite not wanting to, Yami had dueled against the young boy and bested him even after Yugi started to use the same technique with Catapult Turtle that Yami had used against Raphael.
Speaking of Raphael.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The large man had tried to enter the valley in order to challenge the Nameless Pharaoh once again. He had discovered upon returning to the temple that he had somehow accidently taken Little Yugi's soul instead of the Pharaoh's. Since his target was the Pharaoh he had been sent after him in order to gain it.
Unfortunately he had discovered that he was unable to enter that ring of strange rocks. He couldn't even come close to it because some strange force was repelling him, keeping him from entering. He picked up his phone and placed a call. "Lord Dartz, I am unable to enter the circle of rocks to challenge the Nameless Pharaoh. Something is keeping me from doing so."
"It is
a simplistic barrier that draws on the souls and feelings of specific
people that it chooses to. It knows your intentions and therefore won't
allow you to enter. Don't worry, it has been taken care of." With that
said the Atlantean hung the phone up, forcing Raphael to tuck it away.
He pulled himself back up to a decent position to watch what might
transpire and waited for whatever it was to happen.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Yami's eyes widened as he heard a very distinctive sound. It was the sound of a motorcycle. His gaze traveled upwards as something shot out from a cliff edge and right above him. The thing shot right over him and came to a harsh landing several feet away. It traveled for a few more moments before turning into a halt.
It was a jet black Kawazaki motorcycle, and its rider was just now stepping off of it, facing away from Yami. The rider's helmet was still on, so he couldn't tell who it was. The person wore blue jeans and black boots, along with a sleeveless leather trench coat. The strangest thing about the trench coat was that the back was mostly covered by a large Yin-Yang.
The rider turned and unclipped his helmet. Now that he was turned around Yami saw that the man was wearing a blue t-shirt with silver flames up the sides converging onto one point. That one point was the kanji for 'alive' and it was dead center. The rider let the helmet drop to the ground and grinned at the surprise on Yami's face. "Yo!"
"Drake? But how did you get here?" The older boy merely jerked a thumb back at his bike as if it explained everything. But then again, it explained nothing at all. It particularly didn't explain the one thing Yami hadn't noticed until this very moment. It was the very noticeable duel disk on Drake's arm. The duel disk that Gurimo had worn. The duel disk that Mai had worn. The duel disk that Raphael had worn. The duel disk that Weevil had worn. All of whom worked for Doom.
"You! You're working for Doom aren't you? Damn you, what the hell were your thirty pieces of silver?!" Yami never saw it coming. The blow that sent him to the ground was more painful than the one Joey had given him to try and snap him out of his funk, because this one was fueled by more than just concern and a little bit of anger. Drake hadn't liked that comment.
"Shut up Yami. None of this is about me anymore than it is about you. Besides, it's just one duel isn't it? Not like whether you win or lose is really a big deal. Sure the guys from Doom are a bit creepy, especially their leader, but I worked for Malik before and that turned out well didn't? Hell, I work for Kaiba and it doesn't get much creepier than that!" The punk duelist casually slid a deck into his Doom Slider and then unfolded it so that it was in position. (DLP: 8000)
Yami grabbed something that was thrown at him, and looked at it. The thing he had caught was a small chip that said in small words 'Rule Alteration'. He glanced at the glowing green numbers on Drake's Doom Slider and then understood. Drake was still playing by the rules that they had used when they had been in the Shadow Realm. "Very well, I'll duel you just to crush you and make you see what a mistake you've made. The people from Doom are worse then you could possibly imagine!"
"I can imagine quite a bit Yami. Now insert that chip into the little slot at the bottom of your duel disk and then let's get this damned thing started already. I've got my end of a bargain to hold up." The former Pharaoh sneered and shoved the chip into the appropriate point. Then he shuffled his deck and placed it into the duel disk before activating it. Now the duel was going to begin, and he was going to start things off. (YLP: 8000)
The former Pharaoh drew six cards, indicating that he wanted to go first and would go first. He'd make this fast and defeat Drake, as he didn't want to deal with a friend turned foe for too long. At least Drake wasn't as much of a friend as Mai was, so the problem wasn't the same. "Alright Drake! I'll start us off by summoning Beta the Magnet Warrior(1700/1400) in attack mode! Next I place two cards face down, and end my turn."
The three named cards appeared, two vertically and directly in front of Yami, and the other a yellowish machine-like monster. Drake didn't seem impressed by this, in fact he was smirking, like it was nothing at all. "You want power? I'll show you power. I summon Neo the Magical Swordsman(1700/1000)!" The armored sword wielding magician took his place on the field, steadying his blade in readiness for an assault on Beta.
Yami scoffed, his patented smirk appearing. The smirk that had meant doom for many a duelist. "For all your boasting your monster is exactly as strong as my own. So unless you want to destroy them both, I'd say you can't manage anything this turn." The punk duelist just sighed and shook his head, waving his hand of cards back and forth.
"For the guy who gained the name King of all duelists from Pegasus, you sure seem to be an amateur about some things. Do you really think I'm an amateur? It's not the strength of your cards, it's how you play them together. And I'll show you the power of my magicians united! To start off I activate this, Dimension Magic!" The Pharaoh gasped as he saw a golden coffin appear, and Neo was encased within it. Then it sent a stream of energy out, shattering Alpha. Lastly the coffin opened, allowing a magician in robes reflecting a cloudy day on them to be summoned.
"Dimension Magic can only be played if I have a spellcaster on the field, and it requires the sacrifice of a monster. Then I can special summon a creature from my hand and destroy a creature of your own. In this case I offered Neo and destroyed Beta in order to special summon Guardian Magician of the Day(1400/1900)." Yami quirked an eyebrow, surprised at how his opponent had spent so much effort for such a weak monster.
"Think my monster is weak do you? On it's own it is, but when working together with it's counterpart it becomes virtually unstoppable! Now witness their power! When Guardian Magician of the Day is special summoned I can instantly special summon Guardian Magician of the Night(1900/1400) from my hand or deck to the field!" A second magician, similar to the previous, shimmered into view. This one's robes were a reflection of a pitch black sky, with stars dotting it.
"Each turn that these two are together I can unite their powers to activate one of two effects. Since your field is empty of monsters I'll use the other option, and pay one thousand life points to destroy every magic and trap card on your field! Twilight Storm!" The two magicians crossed their staffs and raised them to the sky, sending a beam of light straight up. There was silence for a moment, but then a column of energy shot down from the clouds and pierced through both of Yami's face down cards obliterating them. (DLP: 7000)
"Now my magicians, attack Yami directly with your combined power! Twilight Dual Strike!" The unity magicians lowered their crossed staffs to aim at Yami, and then let loose a stream of intermixed white and black magical energies. The pharaoh braced himself for the impact, but was still knocked backwards by the full force of the attacks. (YLP: 4700)
He stared at his life point counter for a second, grimacing at seeing what had happened. Had Drake not given him that chip, he'd be down to his last seven hundred life points. As it was Drake had managed to nearly cut his life points in half in one strike. So if Drake knew his creatures could be this deadly, why increase their life points? "In case you were getting any ideas about attacking my weaker Guardian Magician, I'll set a card face down. That's all for now."
Yami drew his card, and saw a brain with hands reaching out on a magic card background. He glanced at two of his other cards, and a plan began to form. He could do this easily, and turn the tide. "Hey Yami. I bet you're wondering why I increased our life points. Well, I noticed in a couple of duels previous to this that my Unity Magicians have a tendency to pile up on power and easily rip through opponents. As much as it would be impressive to defeat you, one of the kings of duelists, in a few turns, that's not what I want. I want a tough duel, and I expect you to give it to me."
"I have every intention of making this a duel you can't possibly walk away from! I activate the magic of Brain Control, to seize command of your Guardian Magician of the Night! Next I offer it to summon Berfomet(1400/1800), whose effect allows me to add Gazelle to my hand from my deck." Drake smirked, knowing exactly what was going to come next. How traditional of Yami. The guy seriously needed some new moves.
"Now I use Polymerization to combine my two monsters together into Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast(2100/1800)! Chimera, destroy Guardian Magician of the Day!" The newly summoned fusion beast charged straight at Day and smashed the magician apart with its horns, completely unhindered by Drake's set card. Yami watched it and Drake for a moment, wondering why Drake hadn't played it. Perhaps it was a bluff? (DLP: 6300)
With no more plays that he could make for the turn, Yami chose to end his turn, allowing Drake to take over. The other duelist eagerly grabbed his card and looked at it, and then shook his head in amusement. "You know Yami, I actually wanted you to send Night to the cemetery. Day wasn't necessary, but it was extra material. You see, Night is a dark type, and Day is a light type, but so was Neo. And the monster I'm about to summon requires a dark type and a light type in the cemetery to be summoned."
The Pharaoh's eyes shot wide open
as he realized exactly what was coming. He had seen this once before,
in Battle City. If it was what he thought it was, then he was in
trouble. If he remembered correctly then.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Its about time I take you apart Kaiba. I'll do that by unleashing two very deadly monsters, one of whom is a trump card of mine. I haven't gotten to use it at all during Battle City, and I'll glad use it to defeat you." Grinning wider than ever he slapped down two cards, one onto his monster field and the other into his magic/trap slots.
"First off I sacrifice my defense monster for Chaos Magician(2400/1900) in attack mode! I also play the card I recovered...Monster Reborn to revive my trump monster...the Chaos Sorcerer(2300/2000). To summon him I must remove one light and one dark type monster in my cemetery from the game. So I remove Mystical Elf and one of my apprentices to summon him!"
The first monster that appeared was dressed in black robes similar to those of the Dark Magician, his blue-skinned face barely visible. He held his black staff aloft and then slammed the butt of it into the ground, sending arching waves of energy up around him.
The second monster was a strange one for a spellcaster. He carried no weapon and had dark skin. His eyes were covered by a black wrapping and all he wore was strange upturned black clothing, that gave him a mysterious and deadly appearance. The oddest part was that the light seemed to bend around him. This was the Chaos Sorcerer, one of Drake's deadliest monsters. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Here it comes Yami, I remove Guardian Magician of the Day and Guardian Magician of the Night from the cemetery in order to special summon one of my trump monsters! Come forth Chaos Sorcerer(2300/2000)!" The dark skinned chaos user took shape, in the familiar black leather clothing and wrappings, eyes covered and all.
"I think I'll show you exactly the nature of my power with this next card. With it's power I'll show you just how outmatched you are! For with it, in a normal duel I would be the winner of this duel before this turn ends. My card is this: Seal of Orichalcos!" Yami's lips twitched into a sneer as the familiar circle formed around them, the seal emblazoned upon Drake's forehead was enough to tell Yami that Drake was fully committed to this duel.
A dark green glow sprang up around Drake, and he smirked. Then all of a sudden the glow died down, and he clenched his right fist tightly, raising it up to reveal a small chain wrapped around his hand, with a glowing fragment of the Orichalcos in the middle of his palm. "Is this the ancient power that was mentioned to me? This is the great dark power of the Seal of Orichalcos? Pitiful!" His opponent gasped in shock at how easily he shrugged off the dark power of the Seal, despite how impossible that seemed.
"Chaos Sorcerer, send Chimera straight to the graveyard by using your Chaos Flare! Say goodbye to your hopes of victory Yami, because here comes my sorcerer!" The dark skinned sorcerer raised his palms and sent twin streams of energy at Yami, one black and one white. They collided with the former Pharaoh and blasted him backwards, singing him. He panted, trying to recover from the shock that, had this been a normal duel, he would have already lost. (YLP: 4000)
"Using the special effect of Chimera I'll return Berfomet to the field in defense mode. Is that all?" Drake gave him a little nod, and that was all that Yami needed. He drew a card, and swiftly set it down on the field behind his red skinned beast. He needed defense, because no amount of attack power could defeat the special effect of Chaos Sorcerer, not even Timeus. He'd have to lure Drake out before he could defeat this creature that had been Kaiba's end in their duel.
Drake glanced casually at the card he had drawn, and upon discovering that it wasn't something he could use at the moment, he merely made a choice. Why attack when you can do even worse? With the bond that Yami claimed to have with his monsters, this technique would be brutal indeed. "Chaos Sorcerer, banish Berfomet from this plane. Send it to the deepest depths of the abyss!" The sorcerer combined the streams of black and white magic into a pure stream of chaos energy, a dark purple beam that struck Berfomet in the chest. Briefly the creature's colors inverted, and then it was gone.
As soon as it was Yami's turn, the duelist took his next card off his deck and then slapped it down onto the field, watching as the image of a white skinned man with long dark hair appeared on the field, crouching behind a very large shield. Defense was what he needed, and defense was what his deck was supplying him with. "Big Shield Guardna(100/2600) in defense mode. End turn."
The punk duelist smirked and immediately slapped his own monster onto the field, but this one came in attack mode. "You've seen Day and Night, so allow me to introduce you to one of their heralds. I summon Sunrise Magician(2000/1300), who automatically gains dark power, boosting it to the level of the Dark Magician. And with this power backing me up, I'll banish Big Shield Guardna!" The sorcerer did so, leaving Yami's only defense as his set card.
"Now, Sunrise Magician, Rising Sun Inferno!" Drake's red clad magician raised his bronze staff over head, and began chanting. To Yami's surprise flickers of flame seemed to descend from the sky, gathering at the tips of the magician's staff. Finally the magician extended his staff out towards Yami, ends pointing outwards, and launched his attack. Two jets of fired converged together as a tornado of flame, on a collision course with Yami.
"Drake, by using the power of your Guardian Magicians you sent a card to the cemetery that is one of my best traps. And using my face down card I can bring it back into action. Go, Grave Chain! Return my Mirror Force and activate it!" Black chains shot down into the ground from his card and pulled up the Mirror Force card, which erected its barrier and bounced back Sunrise Magician's attack, blasting both it and the Chaos Sorcerer to pieces.
"You see Drake, my power has succeeded in defeating the Chaos Sorcerer and your boosted magician. I won't back down even an inch, so expect this duel to just keep getting tougher." Yami was now confident that he had a shot, even though he had no cards on hand and none on the field. Drake had one set card and two so far useless cards in hand, and his set card was useless as well, as he had seen earlier. He could turn the tide.
"That's what I want Yami, I want to see the extent of your skill as a duelist! I want to see if you can offer me the ultimate duel! So give me everything you've got and then some!" His power flared up at these words, the dark green aura appearing around him, but not seeming to affect him at all. His trench coat flared outwards, and a grin was prominent on his face. Yami couldn't believe that Drake was enjoying this duel when there were such consequences to it.
Suddenly it hit him. Drake's enjoyment of the duel, the grin on his face, the severity of the situation not seeming to bother him....it could only mean one thing! "Drake....do you know the full power of the Seal of Orichalcos? Do you know what it can do?" Drake quirked an eyebrow at him and then chuckled, obviously amused by the question.
"You think I'd go into a duel where I didn't know the effect of a card I was using? The Seal of Orichalcos grants its user dark power, both in the magical sense and in the duel sense. It increases my monster's power by five hundred and lets me play up to ten. Also, it can't be destroyed by an effect. Is that enough for you?" So it was true, Drake really didn't know.
"You have no idea of the severity of the situation! When the Seal of Orichalcos is played the consequences of losing the duel become tremendous! Whichever one of us loses this duel....loses their soul! That is the price of the that dark power you're using!" Drake's reaction was completely nonexistant. He merely glanced around at the seal around them, and sighed.
"Even if that's the case, even if it takes my soul or yours....I have to continue fighting. But now it seems it can't be about fun as well. I wanted it to be an enjoyable duel for the both of us, regardless of the situation.....but this changes things. I'll fight you tooth and nail till the end, and I'll win this duel for my own reasons! Now take your turn!" Yami clenched his fists and his jaw, furious with Drake for acting this way. He didn't know what Drake wanted from this duel, but he was going to win it, one way or another.
"Drake, I'm going to turn the tide of this duel by using my favorite card. My most faithful servant will be your deadly opponent. I play Curtain of Black Magic at a cost of half my life points in order to special summon the Dark Magician(2500/2100) to the field in attack mode! Then I have him attack you directly!" Coming forth from parted curtains was Yami's favorite monster, the purple clad magician. The Dark Magician raised his weapon and unleashed a blast of purple energy at Drake. (YLP: 2000)
"Go face down card, Mirage Magic! You've seen Dalin's Drain Shield in action, and this is a quick-play version of the same. So I now negate your attack and gain life points equal to it!" A shimmering barrier sprang up in front of him, allowing the attack to fizzle against it. Yami grimaced as he realized that Drake hadn't used it against Chimera because he wanted to save it for later, for a more critical moment. Drake had timed his move quite wisely, and now his life points were above the starting point. (DLP: 8800)
With no other move to make it became Drake's turn, and the trench coat wearing duelist drew his card, and then smirked as he displayed it to his opponent. "The card I've drawn has a special ability that is activated when drawn. It's my Quick-Silver Magician(1400/1200), which is automatically special summoned to the field when drawn. So here he comes!" A lithe magician in tight silver robes darted out of Drake's card, landing on the field in a crouch. His staff was thin and razor-like, the perfect weapon for a speedy magician.
"Since he was special summoned that makes him perfect fodder for a sacrifice. So I offer him to special summon Chaos Magician Girl(2000/1700) in attack mode! Meet the chaotic version of your magician girl, the counterpart to my strongest magician!" The female magician appeared on the field, decked out in leather and buckles just like her master always was. Her skin was also the same shade of blue.
"Also, because Quick-Silver Magician went to the grave I get to draw a card. That's not all though. Just like my other monsters Chaos Magician Girl gains five hundred attack points as a bonus from the dark power of the seal. But she also gains three hundred attack points for every card in the removed from play pile of each player. So she's got thirty-one hundred attack power!" She raised her staff overhead, laughing as energy coursed through her, making her stronger than even a Blue Eyes White Dragon.
"I set up one card, and then I attack Dark Magician with her!" The magical girl raised her weapon and unleashed a sphere of chaos energy at the black magic wielding magician, who readied himself for the strike. Suddenly it veered aside, exploding on contact with the air for no apparent reason. Yami smirked and eject a card from his grave, displaying the power he had used. Super Electric Turtle....so that must have been the card he discarded through Grave Chain's effect.
The Pharaoh gladly drew his next card, and then smirked as he activated it. It was a special card, one that would help him turn things around. Soon he'd be the one in charge of this duel. "I play Thousand Knives, which can only be used when a Dark Magician is on the field. I can no destroy your monster automatically!" The Dark Magician raised his arms, and thousands of knives materialized around him. Then he extended his arms, sending the fleet of knives at the more powerful Chaos Magician Girl.
"Not so fast! Activate quick-play, Negative Morality! By paying one thousand life points I can negate the effect of one card played by my opponent, so your Thousand Knives card fizzles, leaving you with no way to protect yourself." Yami could only switch Dark Magician into defense, and then end his turn. He'd just have to hope that Drake couldn't summon another monster to the field, or he was in trouble. (DLP: 7800)
"I'll begin by placing a monster in defense mode. Now I offer Chaos Magician Girl to activate her effect and special summon a Black Magician of Chaos(2800/2600) into play! He may be weaker, but his effect makes up for it! So Black Magician of Chaos, use your Chaos Scepter Blast on Dark Magician!" The newly summoned leather buckled chaos user swung his staff around and slammed it against the ground, sending a ball of chaos energy streaking towards the opposing magician. It was swiftly consumed, and removed from the game.
"I guess all I have left to do is set a single card face down, and end my turn." The card appeared in holograph form to his far right, as that was the magic zone he had placed it in. He idly contemplated just how he would use the advantages of Front and Rear Defense that was allowed by the Seal of Orichalcos, but knew it would wait. He had placed his set monster in rear defense, so it couldn't be attacked before getting through his Black Magician of Chaos in front defense.
While he continued to consider what he could do next turn, Yami was busy drawing his card and thinking of his own next move. The Pharaoh sighed and placed the card face down on the field, awaiting it's activation at a later date. He could only hope now that the card would help him out as it had in the past. "That's all that I can manage. Go ahead Drake, take your turn." The punk duelist nodded and drew his card, ready to go on the offensive yet again.
Drake swept his trench coat away from his arm and surveyed his options. Yeah, it looked like everything was coming together. Shortly the duel would be his, all it would take would be a few more attacks. "I play Magic of Revival, allowing me to special summon a magician from either player's cemetery. So I revive Chaos Magician Girl, who now has thirty-four hundred attack power. Both my monsters will attack you directly!" The two magic users unleashed their chaos blasts, roaring across the field in order to obliterate the last of Yami's life points.
"I'm not out of this yet! Reveal magic card, Magical Textbooks! This card is definitely a risk, but it's worth it. Normally I'd discard my hand, but since I don't have one it's not a problem. Now I shuffle my deck and draw the top card. If it's a magic card I activate it....if not, I'm going to lose this duel. So here I go!" As quickly as he said it he pulled free the top card of his recently shuffled deck, and then raised it up above his head to be clearly seen.
The image on the card was clear, that of a man being showered by coins from the sky. There was only one card that it could possibly be, however unlikely it was that it had been done. Card of Sanctity, whose effect allowed them both to draw until they held six cards. "Nice draw Mr. Duel King, but a brand new hand won't stop my incoming attacks! You're still going to lose!"
"Not so fast Drake, my Card of Sanctity has awarded me with two very special monsters who have saved me before and will continue to do so! The first is Watapon, which was placed into my hand by an effect so is special summoned to the field. The second is Kuriboh, which I discard to negate the damage of your magician girl!" Watapon took shape on the field as a little white fluff-ball which was vaporized and removed from the game by Black Magician of Chaos. Kuriboh appeared on the field and took Chaos Magician Girl's attack. It was completely incinerated.
"Well, that was not only lucky but kinda scary if you think about it. Those two draws in one go? And the fact that you go Card of Sanctity in the first place? I've got to say, this is the kind of combination of luck and skill that I wanted to see from the supposed Duel King. Oh but wait....that's Dalin isn't it? Heh, that's something I'll contest when I face him and strip him of his title!" The two duelists glared at each other, each one ready to continue dueling as hard as they could.
"Thanks for the new hand by the way. It's given me new options. For instance, I set one card, and then activate Effect Economics. This will allow us both to not have to worry about paying for effects. Also I can summon Ghost Sorcerer(1700/1700) to the field, which gains dark power. And I'll have it in my rear defense along with my set monster." The named cards appeared on the field, ready to take on whatever Yami could manage.
The tri-haired former Duel King added a fifth card to his hand, and looked them over once again. He saw an immediate option that would help his cause, but it wouldn't do everything for him. He'd have to start with it though, and go from there. "I'll use the magic of Heavy Storm to blow away all magic and trap cards on the field." Drake let out a small groan as his magic and traps were blasted into oblivion, leaving him with just four monsters on the field to use.
"Next I play Payment of Debt to draw three. Hmmmm, it looks like I have a way to defeat you right here in my hand! First I'll activate Monster Reborn to revive Beta the Magnet Warrior!" His yellow magnet monster was specially summoned to the field, giving him a piece of the three part puzzle that would create his strongest monster. But Drake wasn't worried, as Chaos Magician Girl was two hundred points stronger than Valkyrion would be.
"I send Beta from the field along with Alpha and Gamma from my hand to the cemetery in order to special summon Valkyrion the Magna Warrior(3500/3850). Unfortunately Valkyrion is too weak to combat your strongest monster, so leaving him in attack mode would be folly. So I'll use his special ability to bring back the three magnet warriors." Drake couldn't help but be curious as to what Yami was planning as he sent his mighty magnet warrior to the grave to bring back the three pieces.
"This same technique toppled Obelisk boosted by dark power in my first duel against a minion of Doom. Here it is, the magic card Brave Attack! It will send each of my three monsters in an attack against your Chaos Magician Girl in order to destroy her completely!" The three smaller monsters launched themself at the chaos user, attacking her from all sides. In the end she unleashed a tremendous blast of power that incinerated all four of them. (DLP: 6900)
"That's not all though. I can play Premature Burial to revive Valkyrion at a cost of eight hundred life points. So here he comes again!" For the second time in one turn the combination creature emerged, filling the field with his tremendous power. Unfortunately it was just barely greater than Black Magician of Chaos' boosted attack strength. But it was enough to get the message across. (YLP: 1200)
"Valkyrion, strike down Black Magician of Chaos and remove it from the game!" His magna warrior unleashed a tremendous force of power with a stroke of his blade, splitting Drake's strongest magician in half and shattering it into millions of holographic fragments. The damage was minimal, but Drake's two greatest monsters and the biggest threat to Yami's life points were both gone. (DLP: 6500)
Unable to do anything else as his hand was completely empty Yami was only able to end his turn, and hope that Drake couldn't recover from Yami's onslaught, or find a way to defeat Valkyrion. Because if he did find a way, then Yami's last chance at victory would be snatched away. And his recent loss to Raphael had taught him that he wasn't invincible, even more so than his defeat at Dalin's hands, or at Ihachi's. On situation it was an extraordinary duelist who defeated him, in the next it was a duelist using ridiculously powerful cards. Against Raphael, the opponent who had defeated him had been...himself.
The punk duelist merely drew his card and grimaced, finding himself in a bad situation. He shrugged and played the card down on the field, watching as it appeared in front of him in all its glory. "I summon Skilled Chaos Magician(1800/1600) in defense mode, and then I move my other monsters to defense mode. That's all I can do." His other monsters moved into crouching positions, and then his turn was over.
Yami added yet another card to his hand, having gone through around twenty-five cards already, while Drake was on a smaller amount. Heck, if he didn't finish this quickly he might end up being decked out. "I set a card face down. Now Valkyrion will cut your Skilled Chaos Magician down to size!" The large robotic warrior flew to the magician and cut him in half, not dealing any damage to Yami's life points, but still removing more of Drake's defenses. Sooner or later he'd get through and find a way to defeat Drake.
Drake surveyed his hand, looking at the three cards. He could use two of the cards he held, but they wouldn't help. In his hand was the Dark Magician, Chaos Magician, and Soul of the Thoughtful, which in this situation was useless. He needed something good or he'd have to remain on the defensive, and against Yami that wasn't necessarily a good idea. "Draw!"
He brought his new card up in front of his eye, and then looked down at one of the other cards he held. Then he looked at the creatures on his field and broke into a grin. This would work, he could win the duel here and now. "Yami, I'm going to end the duel in this turn. I sacrifice Ghost Sorcerer and my set monster in order to summon the Dark Magician! Not only that but I'll discard one card to keep Ghost Sorcerer on the field." Drake's set monster vanished, and it was replaced by the purple clad magician, who instantly gained dark power, making it equal to a Blue Eyes.
"On it's own my Dark Magician is too weak to tackle your Valkyrion, but once I power him up a little I can not only rid the field of Valkyrion, but end the game as well by attacking with Ghost Sorcerer. I equip Dark Magician with Chaos Blade, and then have it attack Valkyrion!" Dark Magician's staff was replaced by a shimmering sword that seemed to suck in the light and darkness around it. Now armed with a new weapon the Dark Magician attacked Valkyrion.
"Valkyrion, counterattack and destroy the Dark Magician!" Valkyrion rushed in to meet the magician, and the two crossed blades. The instant they did a whirlwind of energy erupted around them, starting to shake up the entire playing field and both duelists. "What's going on?"
Drake smirked, knowing he had this game won. "Chaos Blade powers up the equipped monster by five hundred, making my Dark Magician equal to your Valkyrion. It also allows the equipped monster the same ability that Black Magician of Chaos has when it battles a monster. So though both will die, Valkyrion will be removed from the game. Now you're going to be completely open!" The vortex finally closed, leaving nothing but an empty space where there had once been two powerful duel monsters.
"Ghost Sorcerer, attack with Spectral Essence!" The ghastly magic user chanted a spell, and a strange flow of energy erupted from it's body, heading straight at Drake's spiky haired opponent. The ancient spirit extended one hand over his face down card, ready to chain to the attack.
"Not so fast! My set card will hold you where you are, so go magical Swords of Revealing Light!" The card flipped up and dozens of green swords shot out, slamming down around Drake's field, sealing his Ghost Sorcerer in place, making it so that it couldn't complete the attack. Luckily for Drake since it had been activated in his turn, he'd only have to wait two others before he could attack again.
Yami couldn't help but feel frustrated that he was currently helpless and relying on top decking to get him what he needed while he hid behind a shield. He had to draw something good soon, or else it was over! "Damn....I summon Cat's Ear Tribe(200/100) in attack mode. I await your assault when it comes. End."
Drake blinked, seeing the trio of kittens arrayed against him. He shook his head as he drew his card, apparently disgusted with something. "Sheesh. You must really think I'm dumb. I know what Cat's Ear Tribe can do, that bluff doesn't help at all, considering all I have to do is discard a card and Ghost Sorcerer will remain, while Cat's Ear Tribe dies. Luckily for you the swords are still in place, so I just summon Skilled Dark Magician(1900/1700) and end."
His black robed magician took it's place, gaining dark power instantly and jumping up to twenty-four hundred attack strength. It was astounding that a basic monster could achieve such great strength with absolutely no effort. "Let's get this over with Yami, there's something I need to do."
"I won't keep you waiting long. I simply set a card face down and end my turn." Drake blinked once, but then continued with his own turn. His draw gave him yet another monster, but not something that was actually practical yet. It would help when the time came to attack his opponent, but for the duration of this turn he was still locked down by the swords.
"My next monster is Nia the Magical Swordswoman(1300/1400) who gains both five hundred attack, and another twelve-hundred because six cards have been removed from the game. That sets her at a brutal three thousand attack power. Next turn I'll end this and get my reward!" With those words he clenched his fists at his side, unleashing a bit of his power, sending ribbons of energy arcing around the duel.
Yami's turn started, and the swords that had locked Drake in place from attacking were gone. He had one draw only to turn this entire thing around. There was one card he knew of that could turn the tide, but there was a problem. It wasn't in his deck right now, and the last time he had tried to use it the damned thing hadn't worked. Feeling that the duel was about to end, he felt there was one last thing he needed to hear. "What's your reward? What is the purpose of this duel for you, the reason you so willingly risk both of our souls."
"You know about my sister, you know I'd do anything for her. Well....her situation is getting worse. Because of her physical weakness she's steadily getting worse, her body is starting to waste away. Even the work the doctors are doing won't keep her alive for more than a few months, maybe longer. Even magic hasn't worked, believe me, I've tried. So that's where this comes in." Yami shook his head in denial, knowing where this was going. Meanwhile the little girl and the older man he had met were running towards the seal.
"Drake, you should know better than to trust someone like Dartz. No matter what he promised, it won't be fulfilled. He'll go back on his word, I know it!" Moments before Drake had been keeping his head down while he spoke, his hair in his eyes. But suddenly at those words he whipped his head up, power erupting around him. Not just the dark power of the seal, but the power of the Millennium Disc as well. Somehow Drake was bypassing the power of the seal!
"All I have to do is win, and then that ancient magic can be used to save my sister! And if Dartz refuses to pay up, I'll kill him. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'll kill anyone who stands between me and my objectives! I swore that I would save my sister's life, that I would one day see her eyes filled with life again! And I will, even if I have to pile up the bodies to do so!" His power exploded off his body, knocking Yami into the edge of the seal and holding him there, the energies of the seal sparking against his back, starting to heat up and burn.
Finally his power died down slightly as he took deep breaths, his body shaking from the intense magical energies that had been rushing through his body. Yami had seen this before, the symptoms of magical overdose. Drake had done this when he faced Autumn, and used up his life doing so in his duel against Taichi. His body was capable of handling more power, but he still didn't have the control needed to stem the tide of the boundless energy capable of being created by the Millennium Disc. Yami was certain that sooner or later it would the cause of Drake's demise.
There was a feeling of a light bursting within him, and he glanced over his shoulder to see the little girl being hurled away by the seal. Yet it seemed she had nearly forced her way in at the moment that Drake's powers had battered against the seal the strongest. "I sympathize with you Drake, I truly do, but I won't allow you to kill anyone. This is bigger than you know. If Dartz succeeds then mankind is doomed! I won't let that happen!"
With those words he drew his card, and he felt the energy surge as he felt the power flow into him. Somehow he knew, without looking and without using it, that this was going to be the card that saved the day. He knew that this time it was going to work. "Drake, I've drawn the one card that can turn the tide! I play Eye of Timeus, and combine Timeus with Cat's Ear Tribe!" The green dragon and the little cat warrior jumped together, swirling into one another until a full combination was created. The creature that emerged was a green dragon with yellow spots and two furry little cat ears at the top. The eyes were also those of a cat.
"Together they have become Cat-Eared Dragon(1500/900)! With my cat-dragon's new strength I will vanquish your monsters before you can get a chance to strike back!" The cat-dragon issued forth what might be mistaken as a roar, but only if the person was very confused or highly intoxicated. What completed the image of Yami's new monster other than its cute little ears and its puny stats was the fact that from a tiny cat and a huge dragon had come a cat-dragon the size of a puppy.
To say that Drake was threatened by the puppy sized cat-dragon would have been an affront to all people who have ever been threatened by anything. To say that he was worried by the cute little combination monster was like saying that Kaiba was capable of truly admitting that Yami was a better duelist. He was in fact, none of these things. He was on his knees, shaking with laughter. "It's a little kitty! Bwahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha!!!!!"
Yami's glare would have been enough to silence a dozen men with spears aimed at his throat. His patented look had frightened many a petty thug and petty duelist attempting to intimidate him or his friends. In this case the glare had absolutely no effect, because Drake was too busy laughing hysterically at the adorable kitty-dragon to notice the glare.
"I'll demonstrate it's great power! Cat-Eared Dragon, destroy Nia!" The little kitty-dragon bounded over to Nia, who knelt down and cooed at the little creature. Her giggle was instantly turned to a cry of surprise as the tiny thing bowled her over and breathed flame in her face, blowing her away. There was nothing but holographic dust in it's wake as it happily trotted back to Yami's side of the field. (DLP: 5400)
"What the hell was that? Your monster had only half the attack power of mine! Nia should have been able to kick it like the kitten that it is!" Yami only smirked, fully aware of the great power of his merged creature. Despite it's appearance this was a far better combination than his Dark Magician Girl/Timeus combination that he had used against Raphael.
"That was the strength of my so-called kitten. Whenever it battles a monster that creature's attack strength is instantly reduced to the base attack power of the original combination creature. Timeus isn't really a monster, so it took on the base points of Cat's Ear Tribe. So when Cat-Eared Dragon attacked your monster, her attack power dropped to two hundred, making her easy prey for my kitten." Drake grimaced, now coming to realize the severity of it's power. He couldn't battle it at all, because even if his monster had a billion attack points it would instantly drop to two hundred when it fought with Cat-Eared Dragon. It was a damned deadly kitty-dragon.
"Damn....I move both my monsters to defense mode. That's all I can do." His turn was over, and he just had two monsters to block Cat-Eared Dragon. He didn't know if Cat-Eared Dragon would drop their defense to two hundred or not, but he certainly wasn't going to leave them in attack mode to get their collective ass handed to them by a puny little....thing.
Bit by bit his anger was starting to build up again, and he could feel the tidal wave of power being barely held back by the barriers he had erected after Battle City. If they completely broke it would be like the flood gate of a dam being shattered. The power he had wielded against Ihachi had been so tremendous because within a place of the Shadow Realm totally manipulated by one who in the past was so connected to him made it easy to control that power, to leech off hers.
Unfortunately that power had come with a price. It had been too soon for him to reach that level, and when his energy started to return he found it was too great for him to handle. He just couldn't control it, so with a little advice he managed to concoct mental barriers over his power that would keep the potentially limitless powers of the Millennium Disc from overwhelming him and turning him into the newest crater in the earth.
Theoretically he knew that full control over the Disc was possible. Ihachi had demonstrated that to him in the past. The problem was he hadn't had any training in it's use, had no true knowledge of how it worked, and was generally clueless about how to handle that power. There was just so much frightening power within him, power that had, at least according to Shadi, or at least Shadi's ghost, been the source of his rage throughout the past several years.
A few weeks after he arrived in America he had encountered Shadi, but had discovered that this was merely an echo of the Millennium Item's keeper. Having had his physical body destroyed by Taichi he was forced to live on as this shade, just a shadow of his former self quite literally. Shadi had told him a little, but because he was the keeper of the seven that Yami and his pals used he didn't know much about the items that he, Ryu, and Autumn wielded. He had been able to help Drake erect those flood gates, and that had been enough.
But now deep within him more power was flowing, and he had no idea what to do with it. If he didn't find a way to harness it soon , it was going to kill him, that he was sure of. His attention was suddenly snapped back to the duel as he realized that Yami had just activated a magic card, Hand Obliteration, to force him to discard his hand. He did so, slipping it into the graveyard.
"Now I activate my trap card, Mode Shift! This will force your defense monsters into attack mode until the end of your next turn. That's more than enough time for me to finish you off! So go Cat-Eared Dragon, incinerate his Ghost Sorcerer." Drake's thoughts fell back on that deep power lurking within him, the deadly power that could consume everything around him, and that was currently leeching off the power of the Seal of Orichalcos and pumping it directly into his veins. (DLP: 4100)
Drake drew a card and glanced at it, saw that it was useless, and declared the end of his turn. He was certain now that he was going to lose this duel, all he knew was that somehow, someway, he was going to have to hold off the power of the Seal of Orichalcos, which was attacking the barriers he had set up. If the Seal of Orichalcos broke them, the darkness would collide with that limitless energy. The unrelenting strength of the Orichalcos combined with the limitless energy of human emotion......there was no telling what it could do. But with it, the power that was needed would be gained instantly.
"I summon Skilled Dark Magician(1900/1700). Cat-Eared Dragon will cut down your Skilled Dark Magician, and my own will attack directly. Take this duel to its final step!" The little dragon took down his magician, and finally a direct attack collided with his chest, not even budging him from where he stood. He was still locked in his internal struggle to keep the flood gates from opening. (DLP: 900)
Slowly Drake made the struggle to place his two fingers on the edge of his next card, and tried to force them to draw the card. In that moment of focus to draw, his attention slipped the slightest degree, and it happened. The flood gates opened, and the terrible powers of the seal corrupted the boundless power flowing into him. Drake was being corrupted utterly by darkness. His fingers pulled the card, and the entire field started to go dark.
Yami stared wide eyed as all the light on the field was being pulled towards Drake, being absorbed into his body. The duelist completed his draw and then let loose an ear-splitting cry that seemed to shake the very foundations of Yami's existence. He felt the power as a tangible presence around him, the darkness....he could feel it sliding around him, slick and wet.
Drake threw his arms wide open and the darkness erupted from his body in waves, assaulting the barrier around them. Yet somehow, Yami was almost completely untouched. It was only after a cracking sound was heard did he realize what was happening. This new power, this new darkness.....it was attacking the Seal of Orichalcos!
The Seal of Orichalcos, one of the strongest forces ever to exist. Its bindings were unbreakable, unstoppable, unrelenting. Nothing could stand against it. That mighty Seal of Orichalcos stood against the full power of this new and ancient darkness....and shattered. That extraordinary power of the Orichalcos was pricked like a soap bubble by the dark power. "Impossible!"
The darkness back off, coiling specifically around Drake's body, making him barely visible. It stayed that way for several seconds before dying down just enough to be visible around him. Drake's eyes were pitch black, and burning upon his forehead was not the Seal of Orichalcos, but a new symbol. Black kanji, etched out in the form of a single word. Darkness.
Suddenly Drake spoke, it was a voice laced with an intense malice that Yami had not experienced since the last time he had heard Taichi speak. "Behold the great powers of the Heart of Darkness. In this duel I'll use this power, to pay half my life points and remove every card on the field from the game, to consume them all with darkness!" Thick black tendrils roped around Yami's monsters, dragging them into the maw of darkness that surrounded Drake, and in moments they were gone. (DLP: 450)
"Yet again I play half my life points in order to create a single strike of darkness with powers equal to all those creatures trapped within. I shall unleash the full power of that darkness in one strike of seventeen thousand three hundred attack power. Darkness Wave!" A tendril of darkness slammed straight into Yami, chucking him backwards and onto the ground, where he rolled several paces before coming to a stop. The duel was at last over, and Drake had won. (DLP: 225, YLP: 0)
Slowly the darkness faded from around Drake, and the symbol vanished from his forehead. He dropped to his knees, astonished that the power had stepped back somehow. It was like this new power that had been released had increased his power enough that he could stem the tide without thinking....at least so far. His body ached all over, but at least neither one of them had lost their soul.
There was something he had to do though. He had won the duel that had been requested of him, and now he had to go back to Dartz and make sure everything worked out right. And if not....he'd crush that creepy blue haired freak with his new strength....so long as he could understand how it worked.
He mounted his motorcycle and pulled on his helmet, ready to get getting at last. He shot a glance back at Yami who was being tended to by Tea and some strangers, an old man, a young girl, and oddly enough a wolf. He called out to them one last time before departing. "Make sure he gets better. I've got a feeling that the phrase 'it's always darkest before the dawn' doesn't apply here. I think this is just the calm before the storm."
With that said he drove away, feeling that darkness ripple underneath his skin. What was it? Why was it there? Why him? So many questions flooding through his mind. "Heart of Darkness....I know my heart is dark....but is it really like that? It was so coated in darkness that I felt like I was going to be sick. Is that my destiny? To be like a plague of darkness?" XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The circle of robed men stared at the image of Drake fleeing on his motorcycle, and a steady look passed between them. One of them nodded and as one they turned to the three men crouching in front of them. "We have found the first half. Go and take him, then bring him to us. We require the darkness for our master to be freed. The other half must also be found."
The three men rose and then gave deep bows before backing away into the shadows, completely invisible in seconds. One of the robed men turned to the speaker and chose to ask a question. "One of the messengers had already been dispatched to confront the other potential."
The original speaker glanced at an image of Kai and Dalin walking through a city and then he looked back at his companion. "Perhaps one of them is the other we are searching for, perhaps not. But I feel it coming, our ultimate goal. The master will be released, and all will be well."
Then they spoke as one. "From this moment onwards, everything changes. The End is coming." XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Author's Notes: End Ch.6. Wow, bet you probably either did or didn't see that one coming. Now let the fun begin....almost. Mwuahahahahahhahahahaahahahhahahahahahaha!
Void Templar: LOL. Yeah, I've noticed that too. But hey! Who wants a short duel when they can have a long exciting one? After all, most real duels last around 25-30 turns if both players are pretty even.
Wolf General: Hehehe. Yeah, originally the duelist was Espa Roba, but I decided to make an original one. That was the reason for the Jinzo Deck....that and I really wanted to make one. :)
Time Mage: Wait and see buddy. Oh, and remember. These guys have no knowledge of what Dalin did against The Hand. Cost of Greed is a card I'm pretty sure Kevin used against Sakura, though I may be wrong and may have used the effect wrong.
