Disclaimer: I own nothing of Yu-Gi-Oh! Except the Cards I printed at the bottom. These characters are mine, except Eli Meggido who was in fact created by my brother.

New York, New York; Inside the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art.

Asriel nodded to her husband and bolted into the museum leaving Davis and Achmed to fight Rama and Bob.

She and Eli moved about the museum until they found the Norse Section. Several artifacts from Viking outposts lined the room. Se glanced over and saw the old-fashioned longboat that Pegasus had hid the god card in.

She rushed over to it.

"Don't bother it's not in there," said a familiar voice from behind her.

She turned to see a man with a short trimmed graybeard and wearing flowing robes.

"Questor Thews," Asriel said.

"So you remember me," Questor said smiling, "I haven't forgotten you. I never thought some little nothing amateur blond cheerleader would ever get the best of me but so you did."

"And I can do it again now give me the god card and I won't humiliate you in another duel."

"You know this guy?" Eli asked.

"She certainly does," Questor responded. "My dear you won't defeat me this time because I have the advantage. The god card is in my deck and I intend to crush her with it. I will not fail them again."

Asriel-4000LP

"So be it," Asriel said. "I start with Command Knight in attack mode (1600/1900) and I play the Allied Forces Spell card and a Trap Card." (1800/1900)

"You think that she can stop me?" Questor asked, "No I don't think so. You remember The Weird Sisters ritual don't you? I sacrifice The Puck (0/0) and Bottom (300/2000) for Macbeth. (3400/2100)

An ancient Scottish King arose on the field, holding a sword. A set facedown card appeared behind him.

"Now for my Abyssal Designator," Questor said, "At the cost of 1000 life point I declare a main-type and a sub-type and one monster from your deck of the type I choose goes to the graveyard. Earth, Beast-Warrior."

Questor-3000LP

Asriel-4000LP

Asriel winced. She had only one monster like that, her Ghost Knight of Jackal, one of her four favorite cards. (1700/1600) she slid the card from her hand into the graveyard.

"Now Macbeth attack!"

"You learned nothing from our last duel," Asriel said, "Physical double copies your monster (3400/2100)"

A gray blob reshaped into the Scottish King.

"My Macbeth however is stronger than yours because of A. Forces."

"I'm not attacking your Macbeth copy," Questor said, "I'm attacking Command Knight."

"Command Knight can't be an attack target as long as I have another monster in play." Asriel said sounding rather bored.

Macbeth lunged at himself, and shattered apart.

Questor-2800LP

Asriel-4000LP

"I activate Revenge of the Damned!" Questor said his trap card flipping up.

"Now every time one of my monsters goes to the graveyard one of yours must go as well from your hand." Questor grinned. "For Revenge is a continuous Trap."

"Ooh I'm so scared," Asriel said, sliding her Rare Metal Dragon (2400/1200) from her hand into the graveyard. Her Macbeth clone faded away.

"My turn," she said smiling, "I draw. I summon Hayabusa Knight! (1800/700) in attack mode."

A falcon headed knight appeared in front of Command Knight. (2000/1900)

"Attack!" Asriel declared.

"Reveal Scapegoat," Questor said. Asriel blinked, she hadn't even noticed him set it. (0/0) (0/0) (0/0) (0/0)

"If you think that you can sacrifice those three scapegoats for the god card you're mistaken. Hayabusa Knight attack two Scapegoats, Command Knight attack another!"

"Good," Questor said, "I'm not yet ready to summon my god card. Now discard three monsters from your hand."

Asriel scowled at him, "They're tokens!"

"They were still monsters that were destroyed."

"Insect Knight, Curse of Dragon, and Swift Gaia. (1900/1500) (2000/1500) (2300/2100)" she said sliding even more cards into her cemetery.

"I summon Reflect Bounder (1700/1500) in attack mode." Questor said, "All attacks to him will be reflected back at your life points. I set this card."

"I play Pot of Greed," Asriel said, "and draw two cards. I summon Kuriboh Knight! (300/200)"

Questor's left eye twitched at the sight of Asriel's Kuriboh in shining armor.

"I play Tribute Doll," Asriel said, "To tribute Kuriboh Knight for the Dark Magician! (2500/2100)"

The blond spellcaster that Davis had given Asriel over a year ago appeared on side. Several museum tourists were now intently wrapped up in the duel.

"Knight's Title!" Asriel said. "I summon Dark Magician Knight! (3300/2100)"

"Now no more Reflect bounder!" Asriel said. The mirrored mechanical creature simply vanished.

"I know," Asriel said, "Revenge. I discard Gearfried the Iron Knight (1800/1600) and revive him with Call of the Haunted (3000/1600) I finish with the last card in my hand Release Restraint!"

The Iron armor of the Iron Knight shuddered and fell off loosely to the ground and a heavily muscled warrior with no apparent weapons appeared (3800/2100)

"Excellent Asriel," Questor said. "You have done exactly what I'd hoped you'd do. I reveal Threatening Roar to prevent an attack this turn so it is my move."

Asriel cocked an eyebrow and slid a card into the Spell/Trap Zone of her disk.

"Oh Asriel," Questor said, "you don't know how long I've waited for this moment. I play Premature Burial to revive Reflect Bounder (1700/1500) and I tribute it for Luna of Fate! (2500/0) which as you remember summons her sisters (2500/0) (2500/0) Now I sacrifice my Weird Sisters in order to summon! HEL THE TERROR QUEEN! (8000/8000)

The ground began shaking violently, and Asriel heard car alarms going off outside. The floor cracked open and a dark figure arose from the chasm.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Davis and Achmed rushed into the building, hoping to catch up with their friends before the god card destroyed them.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Miles away a pharaoh and an Atlantian Prince prepared to do battle…as well as two demons with god cards residing in their souls.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The smoke that came pouring out of the crack in the museum floor cleared away and the figure was revealed.

She was the most beautiful and the most horrifying creature that Eli had ever seen. Her right side was that of a beautiful woman, with long luxurious brown hair and sea-green eyes. She wore a golden bikini like the one Princess Leia wore in Return of the Jedi

That was her right side. Her left side was a rotting corpse. Hunks of rotted flesh hung loosely from her side, and her finger bones had no flesh on them whatsoever. Her face, while her right side was that of a beauty queen, her left side was a skull with bits of decomposing flesh and maggots crawling on it.

Davis and Achmed chose that exact moment to enter the room.

"Yah!" Davis exclaimed upon seeing the nightmare. The three guys were transfixed, unable to take their eyes off of Hel.

"Hel gains one thousand attack and defense points for every monster in your graveyard Asriel," Questor said laughing. "So now she has Eight Thousand because you have eight cards in your graveyard. Hel attack Dark Magician Knight!"

"Not so fast," Asriel said, "Staunch Defender will redirect your attack to my Command Knight! And since she can't be declared the target of any attack when I have other monsters in play the attack is negated."

"My move," Asriel whispered to herself. She drew a card from her deck.

("Trap Reflector,") she thought looking at the extremely rare card. ("The ability to copy any Trap card in Questor's graveyard.")

Questor-2000LP

Asriel-4000LP

She set the card facedown.

"I switch Gearfried the Swordmaster, Hayabusa Knight, Command Knight and Dark Magician Knight to defense mode. End turn."

She winced at having to do that. Switching her cards to defense mode annoyed Asriel and it was not something she did on a day to day basis.

"I summon Mustard Seed (1500/800)," Questor said, "And Activate Hel's second ability."

Hel reached over and grabbed the skimpily dressed fairy with her left hand. Instantly she died and rotted away to nothing.

"Seduction of the Underworld!" Questor said, "I sacrifice one female monster on my field to gain control of every male monster on yours."

Command Knight looked horrified as her companions left her and stood by Hel. They all appeared to be in a drunken stupor.

"I think that I will have Dark Magician Knight wipe out his former commander." Questor said.

"Trap Reflector," Asriel said as her card flipped up. "To copy your Threatening Roar and save Command Knight from being slain by her companions."

"Very good Asriel," Questor said, "I hadn't expected you to last this long against Hel. My queen of Darkness gets bored with her male slaves easily so she can only control them until my End Phase. Then they go to your graveyard."

Dark Magician Knight looked at command Knight meaningfully and Asriel saw tears of regret flow down his face. Then he, Gearfried and Hayabusa rotted away. Hel's Attack Meter lit up as they vanished (11000/11000)

"My move," Asriel said, "I set one card facedown. That's all."

"Indeed," Questor said. "I summon Axe Raider (2100/1150) in attack mode. Hel attack Command Knight!"

The goddess raised up a black scythe and lunged slicing Command Knight in half.

"That's not all," Questor said, "When Hel destroys a monster in battle it is special summoned to my field with an original attack and defense of 0."

A skeleton wearing the armor of Command Knight appeared on Questor's field. (400/0)

"Yes but your attack triggers my trap card Knights of the Round!" Asriel smiled, feeling less depressed than she had when Hel had first appeared.

Questor-2000LP

Asriel-2000LP

"By giving up half my life points I can summon three Knight Monsters from my deck to the field. Familiar Knight (2200/1400) Sokar Knight (2500/50) and Queen's Knight! (2500/1600)"

A Knight in silver armor, a knight in red armor, and a female knight in red armor with playing card icons appeared

Questor said nothing.

"My turn then?" Asriel said, snapping the top card from her deck. "I sacrifice Familiar Knight, Sokar Knight and Queen's Knight for Gilford the Lightning! (3000/1400)"

A huge warrior in silver armor appeared as the three monsters offered as tributes vanished.

A vortex of electricity shot out and surrounded Questor's monsters. The Command Knight Skeleton and Axe Raider exploded.

"You've made Hel stronger (15000/15000)" Questor said, "but you haven't done a thing to stop her."

"We shall see hmm," Asriel said sliding one card face down.

"She's doomed," Eli said.

"Uh uh," Davis said, "I know my girl, she's got a plan."

"Hel attack!" Questor said pointing to Gilford.

"This is it," Eli said, "Do or die time."

"Spellbinding Circle!" Asriel said as the ancient circle surrounded Hel imprisoning her. (14300/15000)

"I know that it only lasts one turn," Asriel said, "But that's all I need."

"I play Tribute Resurrection to revive Sokar Knight (2000/25) Familiar Knight (1400/700) and Queen's Knight (1150/800) and sacrifice them again for The Once and Future King: Pendragon! (3700/3000)"

The trio vanished again and a bearded man in armor with a dragon icon on his chest appeared he held a mace.

"When Pendragon is tribute summoned all face-up spell and trap cards are destroyed," Asriel said, "I may lose A. Forces, but you lose Revenge of the Damned!"

Pendragon and Gilford stood defiantly in the presence of Hel.

(2800/1400) (3500/3000)

"What you fail to realize is that my monster is stronger than both of yours combined!" Questor sneered.

"Really," Asriel asked, "Wanna make a little wager on that?"

"What?" Questor said.

"What you fail to realize is that my monsters are fusion partners," Asriel said smiling. "Polymerization."

Pendragon and Gilford flowed together into a vortex. Bolts of lightning came showering the field with lightning and electricity.

"Behold," Asriel said, "The Return of the King: Pendragon the Lightning (5000/1400)"

Pendragon descended to the field. He bore the same armor as Gilford, but looked like Pendragon. He was armed with a huge buster sword with lightning bolts on the blade.

"If Pendragon the Lightning is fusion summoned," Asriel said, "And his fusion material monsters were both Tribute summoned then I can target a player's deck, hand, or field and destroy all the monsters in said target."

"What good will that do you?" Questor asked, "Hel's immune to such and effect and my hand and deck aren't the problem are they?"

"Whoever said I was targeting your deck?" Asriel said slyly. "I'm targeting my Own! Pendragon destroy every monster in my deck!"

"Have you gone mad?" Questor yelled. Pendragon drove his blade into Asriel's duel disk and showers of sparks flew out surrounding Asriel and obscuring her from sight.

"Your wife has lost it!" Eli said.

"No she hasn't," Davis said, "I know what she's done, the question is will Questor figure it out."

The sparks cleared and Asriel stood before Questor apparently unscathed.

"Your turn," she said sweetly smiling. Pendragon the Lightning mimicked her smile.

"Hel," Questor yelled barely bothering to draw, "With the newfound strength that Asriel just gave you destroy her Pendragon."

"Ooh," Asriel said sympathetically, "That wasn't a good idea. Look at what Hel's attack points actually read."

(0/0)

"What!" Questor said "NO! Hel don't attack!"

Too late however as the god card reached for Asriel's monster Pendragon struck it and split her in half

Asriel-2000LP

Questor collapsed onto the ground, "But how, how, how? She couldn't have zero attack points what happened?"

"My knights Gotcha," Asriel said in a singsong voice, "And now I got a god card." She snatched up the Norse queen of the Damned and slid it into her deck.

"What just happened?" Eli asked.

"It's a riddle," Davis said smiling.

"It's simple," Asriel said holding up a card with the image of a penguin in armor on it. "My Penguin Knight (900/600) shuffles my graveyard into my deck when it is sent directly from my deck to the graveyard."

"You had no graveyard," Eli said, "So Hel had no attack points. I'm impressed. You brought a god card to zero. I'll have to bare that in mind."

"Something's very fishy here," Davis said looking at Questor, who was sobbing on the ground. "Has anyone noticed a pattern?"

AN:

To John: Ah but Quetzalcoatl is unaffected by Slifer's second mouth effect.

To Vyser: You will see it next chapter

To Guardian Master: So? I do accept anonymous reviews, anyone is capable of reading and reviewing me.

To Wolf General: Ran amuck? Fenrir is cool and was one of the major inspirations for this movie.

To Seeker of the Soul: Okay, Tier two is now tier three. Ra and Fenrir are in Tier one (Fenrir only cuz he can eat other gods, otherwise he's not all that great) Quetzalcoatl Jormungand and Hel are in tier 2. (Because they have immunities to Obelisk, Slifer, and Tash, but don't have them against Ra or Fenrir) and Tash, Obelisk and Slifer are in tier three. Does that clear things up? I hope so, because I still haven't read Yu-Gi-Oh R, and I was just going by what you just said.
