And now the continuation:
"Welcome to team Godhunter," Davis said smiling at Achmed after they had explained the situation to him.
"Team Godhunter?" Asriel said looking at her husband oddly.
"What?"

"We can't take a Jet to where we are going," Eli said as they climbed onto a junky old riverboat.
"Is this all that we have?" Achmed said looking at the boat with disdain.
Eli sighed, "As I said before I'm well off but I'm no Kaiba. I don't have a private jet, and I don't have a riverboat! I bought both of those on short notice! This is the best we've got so please don't complain."
Davis nodded as the boat began its journey down the river.
"According to Leo, Pegasus knew what he was doing when he hid these cards," Davis said throwing a map onto the table.
"The first god card is in a temple here," he pointed on the map. "This is crucial, the temple is a good mile walk through the jungle. Eli and I will be going in."
Asriel glanced at Achmed and nodded.
"Now listen up," Davis said, "we know that there are others after these cards so be careful. Further down the river you'll come to some Aztec ruins. That's where the second god card is. It will be in a box at the bottom of the sacrificial basin. Once we have those cards secured we head out. The next two cards are in vastly different locals."
Asriel nodded again, she'd heard all this before. Davis was going to lead Eli, and Asriel would lead Achmed, as those two really had no idea where they were going.

"Are you sure that you know where you are going?" Eli asked. Davis chose not to answer, as he really didn't know. As he pushed aside more ferns he contemplated Davis was still half-afraid that Leo was leading him on a wild goose chase. But the duelist in him was yearning and longing to find a god card he could call his own.
Ever since Yugi had won the Battle City tournament a year ago it had been every duelist's dream to possess one of those legendary cards.
Davis never actually thought of them as "gods" per-say, he'd always seen them for powerful monsters with a main type (Gold) and a sub-type (Divine-Beast) that were not common among monsters.
Davis had studied all the available facts on the three god cards that Yugi had won and considered Ra his favorite.
"I hope I hope I hope," he said, normally he would ask God in prayer when he desired something, but he felt with this he probably shouldn't.
Nonetheless the Duelist in him was still hopping up and down like a schoolboy.
("Doubtless,") Davis thought, ("The others feel the same.")
"Davis," Eli said suddenly, "look!"
A giant Mayan temple loomed overhead. Davis bolted for the stairs and rushed up it into a dark chamber.
"Ra, Osiris, and Sokar," Davis said aloud, "Those are the gods represented by the three Egyptian God Cards." He walked over to a small box on a pedestal in the center of the chamber. "Let's just see who else got a representative."
He flipped the box open.
Empty.
"What?" Davis said, "After all that and it's not even here. I never should have trusted Leo."
"Come on," Came a voice from the shadows, "You didn't think that it would be that easy did you?"
Davis spun around. "Who are you."
"Draco Nidhoggr," he responded stepping out of the shadows Davis could see that he was a big man, with dark skin.
"I arrived shortly before you did," Draco said, "And my, my, my just in time to snatch the god card from under your nose too."
At that moment Eli caught up to Davis and entered the chamber. Guessing what was about to occur he slipped to the side.
"Course," he said smiling, "I'm itching to try it out you know. So let's duel. Battle City rules. That way when I win, I can take your Dark Magician of Chaos."
Davis smiled, "I accept your terms."

("Time to see if I can take down a god card again,") Davis thought as he drew his sixth card. ("D. D. Warrior Lady, Flame Swordsman, Remove Brainwashing, Dark Designator, Exchange, and Element Dragon. I'd use the Dark Designator and Exchange in tandem, but I don't know what the god cards' name is.")
"Tick Tock," Draco said.
"I set one card facedown," Davis said. "Then I summon Element Dragon in attack mode. (1500/1200) I play Exchange!"
Draco sneered and flipped his hand around. (Lord's Ascension, Kaiser Seahorse, Monster Reincarnation, Tyrant Dragon, Child of the Grand.)
Davis cocked an eyebrow, "Not much to look at," he said, 'But I've keyed in on your strategy. I'll take your Monster Reincarnation."
"D. D. Warrior Lady," Draco said snatching Davis's second favorite monster from his hand.
"I draw," He said, "I play Pot of Greed, which lets me draw two new cards. I summon your little D. D. Warrior Lady (1500/1600) in attack mode and equip her with Dragonic Attack! (2000/2100)"
"Go Remove Brainwashing," Davis said smiling. The D. D. Warrior Lady spun around and turned her sword towards Draco in a heartbeat. Exchange was Davis's favorite spell card. He loved giving his opponent Mataza or using Remove Brainwashing to restore to him a monster he'd just given away. Davis never, or rarely anyway, took monsters with Exchange.
Draco grimaced. "Reload!"
He took his hand and shuffled it into his deck and redrew. He smiled at his new hand.
"Since I already normal summoned this turn I'll just set these cards."
Davis drew, "I play Card of Sanctity," He pulled four cards off the top of his deck.
"I sacrifice Element Dragon for Different Dimension Dragon (1200/1500) and set two cards. Dark Designator: Tyrant Dragon!"
Draco took his deck out of its slot, rifled through it and added Tyrant Dragon to his hand.
"Now D. D. Designator!" Davis said, "Tyrant Dragon."
Draco looked peeved again as he slid his card into his pocket.
"Are you done annoying me?" he said.
"D. D. Warrior Lady and D. D. Dragon direct attack!" Davis said
Davis-4000LP
Draco-800LP
"Looks like that God card is in the Bag!" Davis said.
"Looks are deceiving," He chortled, "I draw, Kaiser Seahorse (1700/1650)"
Davis waited patiently for several seconds before he realized that that was the whole of Draco's move.
The still silence within the temple was broken by the sound of raindrops on the roof of the pyramid.
"I summon D. D. Assailant (1700/1600)." Davis said. A dimensional ninja in white with a buster blade appeared. "That's not all, I think that it's time to use my field card Array of Revealing Light!"
Davis's field zone popped open, and he slid a card into it. A glowing circle of light descended upon the field and lit up the interior of the chamber.
"That card lets you set the field to a certain subtype of monster," Draco said, "And you probably set it for Dragon. Now my dragons have to wait a turn after they're summoned to attack."
Davis shrugged.
"I sacrifice Kaiser Seahorse for Grand Emperor Dragon: Envoy of Revenge (2000/2500)"
The temple shook and vibrated as one of the more powerful dragons in the game appeared on Draco's field.
"End Turn"
Davis drew, "I play Polymerization to fuse D. D. Warrior Lady and Different Dimension Dragon into D. D. Warrior Lady the Dragon Knight (2200/2500)
The D. D. Warrior Lady now rode atop D. D. Dragon like Gaia on Curse of Dragon.
Davis grinned, "Now I Tribute D. D. Assailant for Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700)." Davis's favorite spellcaster gave a little twirl.
"Your summoning a dragon triggered Grand Emperor's ability (2500/2500)" Draco said, "He gains five hundred attack points."
"So?" Davis said, "He's not my target you are. I remove from play D. D. Assailant to allow D. D. Warrior Lady the Dragon Knight to attack your life points."
"Dragons can't attack!" Draco protested.
"Actually," Davis said, "You only assumed that Dragon is the Sub-Type I chose. I never actually said it."
Draco glowered at Davis, "Draining Shield."
Davis-4000LP
Draco-3000LP
"Now then," Draco said, "I summon Lord of Dragons (1200/1100) I play Flute of Summoning Dragon to summon Divine Dragon Ragnarok (1500/1200) and Red Eyes B. Chick (800/500). Then I play Polymerization to fuse Lord of Dragons and Ragnarok into King Dragun (2400/1200) Then I summon Black Land Fire Dragon. (1500/800) This gives Grand Emperor (6500/2500) sixty five hundred attack points!"
"Color me unimpressed," Davis said. "Continue."
"Grand Emperor!" Draco said, "Show him why you are the Emperor of all Dragons! Destroy his pathetic Dark Magician Girl."
"Oops," Davis said smiling.
"What? What oops?" Draco asked.
"Oops you shouldn't have attacked my Dark Magician Girl because you Triggered Prismatic Armor!"
A suit of Rainbow Colored armor enveloped The Dark Magician Girl bathing her in light.
"Say hello to the D. D. D. Magician Girl," Davis said. (3000/2500) "She's a personal favorite. Don't confuse her with D. D. Dark Magician Girl cause they're not the same. D.D.D. Magician Girl's attack points increase by 400 per card on my field and graveyard with 'dark magician' in their name. Plus she just removed your Grand Emperor Dragon from play."
Rainbow colored light surrounded the mighty dragon, whom then vanished.
"That does it!" Draco said, "Nobody removes my dragons from play! Nobody! I let Tyrant Dragon slide, but I will not allow what you did to my Grand Emperor slide!"
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and Davis's stomach began quivering with a million butterflies. Here it comes he thought.
"I Sacrifice King Dragun, Red Eyes B. Chick and Black Land Fire Dragon," Draco declared.
The three monsters vanished in red, blue and yellow flashes of lightning and the thunder outside rumbled louder as lightning cracked.
"In order to summon THE DIVINE SERPENT OF QUETZALCOATL!" (4000/4000)
The temple shook violently and the entire roof burst off and shattered into a thousand pieces. Rain came pouring in on top of them but neither noticed.
Rainbow colored light surrounded the temple and reformed into a shape. The light slowly solidified. It was large to say the least. The giant serpent wrapped around the pyramid twice. Its' skin was a rainbow of colors and each individual scale was Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, or Purple. When taken together it was rainbow colored and shiny.
It had two large rainbow wings coming from its "shoulders" the only limbs on its body. Each feather was a single solid color, that when taken with all the other feathers, were a rainbow.
Quetzalcoatl's head was the thing that scared Davis though. Very serpentine in shape, and yet unlike any snake he had ever encountered. Its large red eyes seemed to be looking deep into his soul
The creature let loose a huge roar, which shook the Pyramid to its core.
Draco began laughing. "Gaze into the face of fear Davis," he said, "Gaze into the face of the last duel monster you'll ever see."
("New plan! New Plan!") Davis thought, as he let the Light envelop him.
("What is it Davis?" Theseus asked, ("You called out to the Light for help and I…Holy Hera what in the Name of Zeus!")
("Theseus?") Davis thought, ("What's the big idea! I wanted a Mayan hero. Someone who actually knows how to fight this thing!")
("Too bad,") Theseus said, ("You got me instead!")
("I'm beginning to wonder if this 'Light' is actually trying to help me at all,")
"Don't worry Davis," Draco said laughing, "Loosing so utterly and totally to an all powerful god card isn't that bad!"
"That does it," Davis said snapping his head up. He noticed Eli looking up at the "god' card with a mixture of awe and fear.
"You so called god card isn't all that powerful," Davis said, "Why I bet he can't even attack my monsters."
"You think that you can stop a god," Draco snorted, "Quetzalcoatl attack!"
The god roared but nothing more occurred.
"Told you," Davis said smiling and snapping the top card off of his deck. ("Replay!") Davis thought.
"I switch D. D. Warrior Lady the Dragon Knight and D.D.D. Magician Girl to defense mode."
"Which Triggers my Trap Card Final Attack orders which will force them back into attack mode!" Draco said.
Davis swallowed.
"Quetzalcoatl attack that stupid D Girl thingy!"
The Giant Serpent opened his mouth and a stream of rainbow light shot out and girdled the D.D.D. Magician Girl.
Davis-3000LP
Draco-3000LP
"That's not even the half of it Davis," Draco said, "When Quetzalcoatl does damage too your life points he gains one thousand attack points! (5000/5000)
Davis groaned, and drew, ("Come on deck don't fail me now! Return From the Different Dimension?")
"Quetzalcoatl," Draco said, "Attack D. D. Warrior Lady the Dragon Knight!"
Yet another blast of rainbow colored light enveloped Davis's monster. He could feel D. D. Warrior Lady's pain, and he doubled over.
Davis-200LP
Draco-3000LP
Davis shuddered and collapsed.
"When my knight is destroyed," he coughed, "I get one of its' fusion material monsters back. D. D. Warrior Lady! (1500/1600)"
"Nice Try Davis," Draco said, "My little serpent has another power though."
"Little?" Eli muttered under his breath.
"In addition to the power boost from doing damage (7000/7000) I may discard a number of cards from my hand in order to destroy an equal number of cards on the field. I discard two cards in order to destroy Array of Revealing Light and D. D. Warrior Lady.
Once more rainbow energy surrounded Davis's cards and they shattered apart.
"Hey!" Davis said looking up, "I thought that Quetzalcoatl only gained 1000 points when he did damage to my life points. He should be at 6000 not 7000."
"The number he increases by doubles each time he does the damage," Draco responded slyly.
("Great that means his next increment will put him at (11000/11000) and me at 0LP")
("You just have to trust,") Theseus said.
"Trust in what?" Davis said sounding frustrated.
"Who are you talking to?" Draco said.
("In your Deck, in your God,") the ancient Greek warrior said, ("Trust that neither one will abandon you.")
"All right," Davis said shaking his head and drawing.
"Have you lost it?" Draco asked staring at Davis.
("Dark Magician,") Davis thought. He paused, ("Wait a minute! I've got it!")
"Such a pity," Davis said looking at Draco.
"What is?" he asked.
"You'll see, watch as your god card goes down!" Davis exclaimed, "First I set one trap card. Then I activate Replay! This costs half my life points but now I can activate one spell card in my graveyard! Polymerization!"
Davis-100LP
Draco-3000LP
"I fuse Flame Swordsman (1800/1600) with Dark Magician (2500/2100) in order to summon Dark Flare Knight! (2200/800)"
Draco said nothing, it was clear he was unfamiliar with this monster and he didn't want to say anything stupid.
"Dark Flare Knight!" Davis said, "Attack his Quetzalcoatl!"
The black Knight lunged and was quickly absorbed by the iridescent glow of Quetzalcoatl's attack.
"Now," Davis said, "It is time to show you the power my God has over yours. Mirage Knight! (2800/2000)
"That card's only got 2800 points," Draco said.
"Wrong," Davis said, "Mirage Knight attack Quetzalcoatl! (9800/2000)
The golden Knight leapt into the air and sliced through the god, the serpent let out a scream and began breaking apart a little at a time, slowly from top to bottom.
"Quetzalcoatl has one last ability," Draco said, "One that I hadn't figured I'd use. Dying Breath's Mercy
Davis-100LP
Draco-7200LP
"When Quetzalcoatl is destroyed I gain whatever his current attack strength is in the form of life points."
Davis nodded, and said nothing.
"I summon Luster Dragon!" (1900/1600) Draco said. "And since you've no monsters in play Luster Dragon attack him directly!"
"Return from the Different Dimension," Davis said flipping his last card face up.
Davis-50LP
Draco-4400LP
Mirage Knight (4700/2000) reappeared in a flash of light and struck down the Luster Dragon before it even got close to Davis. He then vanished again.
"This is it," Davis said, "I play Pot of Greed, and summon D. D. Kuriboh (300/200) Tribute Doll to offer D. D. Kuriboh for Buster Blader (5100/2300) End Turn."
Draco gasped, "Buster Blader?" He asked, "The Dragon slayer card? I surrender. I have nothing left in my deck to fight that monster."
He placed his hand on top of his duel disk, universal sign among duelists of surrender.
Davis-50LP
Draco-0LP (By default)
Draco handed Davis a card.
"You have beaten an old dragon," he said, "You have earned this card in every right."
Davis looked down at the newest member of his deck.

Featured God Card:
The Divine Serpent of Quetzalcoatl:
The song of this dragon is said to even give Obelisk cause to be wary. Its scales are the markings of its true power.
To Vyser Adept of Dragons: I am open to SC's for this arch, but their decks must really impress me. I can't use a deck with Gravity Bind in it, for two reasons: one they are a pain in the rump to write and two all duels from this point on will feature god cards. 10 STAR monsters! I like your character, but his deck is lackluster. Give me a really good deck for him to use and then we shall see what we can see. A deck should be as good as the character.
To John: Likewise, your deck, I've seen it somewhere before…Oh yeah chapter 2 of War of the Gods. I want some inventive decks…decks I've never seen before: be creative!
To Falcon Demon General: Gee! I didn't even know that you were reading my story, go figure… SSSHHH!
To Seeker: Unless I otherwise state it all of my original cards come from Legendary Warriors (Except the god cards o' course) but original cards from other authors that I use come from whatever series that they came from in that story. So my use of Seal the Gateway, A Hero's Cause, Sage's Council, Repayment for Losses and Trap Reflector (All cards I have used or plan to use) means that all of those cards came from whatever series that they came from in your universe. I have plans for Asriel's new Gilford, and hopes that it will be the key to her getting her god card.
To Wolf General: While you're at it let's have a Rainbow Quetzalcoatl dorm shall we? Just kidding, I doubt that my god cards will even get a mention in your story. It took me forever to come up with good original effects for them too. I hope that you enjoyed this longer-than usual chapter, and I especially hope that you, and well everyone really, liked Quetzalcoatl, the first of my four god cards.
