Guilmon: And thus, we reach the next chapter

Jake: Yep, this is going to be an interesting little fight between the longtime archrivals shown here

Guilmon: Common (squeaks) start the fic, I'm tired of being hypnotized.

Jake: Me too, although your funny hypnotized n.n

Guilmon: MAKES ME TOO DIZZY!

Jake: I know, it's okay, I'll start the fic now

Guilmon: YAY!

( ) Action (in non fiction areas only)

"Shall we begin?" Derek shouted.

"I was about to suggest the same thing" Jake growled, "But let's get one thing clear, if I win, I want Giruie released and the vaccine given to him"

"No problem" Derek laughed, "And if I win, I want you to pay the ultimate price, so that I'm free to torture your little reptile while he remains halfway in hypnotic bliss, to keep him subdued, but not enough to keep him from feeling the pain, ahh I love my ideas!"

"You..monster" Jake shook, "Fine, I know what you want, it's a deal, I won't lose!"

"He..how could he..do THAT!" Ryou stammered reading the screen, "Why…would he stake that now!"

"He had no other choice…" Vic sighed, "Let's just watch the fight from here, not like we have any other choice anyhow"

"WHHHHHHYYYY" Siaarn cried out.

"Let's just give him support, cause right now I don't think any of us have that answer Siaarn" Rika sighed in unison with Addie, "You'd better win gogglehead, you'd better win"

Jake: 8000 LP, Stakes: His soul in a card

Derek: 8000 LP, Stakes: Releasing Giruie, vaccine for hypno-dart.

"Right, I think I'll start the show" Jake growled and placed three cards, "I play two cards face down, with a monster in defense mode, make your move!"

"I do the same" Derek replied, then grinned at Giruie, "Don't worry buddy, soon you'll be obeying only me"

"Only…you?" Giruie asked confused, his head (and eyes) spinning, "But..nobody makes me obey anybody..Jakemon not master, friend, very good friend!"

"Yeah, well, he's the reason you're here right now my dizzy friend, he brought you here to be TOREMENTED!" Derek laughed.

"ENOUGH!" Jake shouted, "It's my fault he's here it's true, but I didn't LEAD him here you LIAR!"

"JAKEMON" Giruie shouted, "I'm..freaking out, I think?"

"It'll be okay, just don't listen to the other voice okay baby brother?" Jake sighed, "Well, you can listen, but don't let it affect you until you've talked to me, soon you'll have the antidote"

"Okay…Jakemon..I trust you brother" Giruie replied.

"No, obey ME, I'm your MASTER" Derek laughed.

"OKayy?" Giruie replied, too deep to be able to focus properly on rational thought.

"GIRUIE" Jake screamed, "He has you hypnotized, it was a hypno-dart, don't listen to him, PLEASE!"

"Ohh, okay" Giruie nodded, as his eyes spun faster, "Hypno makes me dizzy"

"Good job, bringing to his knowledge the venom's existence in his bloodstream causes the power of the venom to increase ten fold!"

"NO" Jake yelled, "FINE, LET'S FINISH THIS"

"Buddah" Derek grinned, "It's just begun"

"THEN MAKE YOUR MOVE" Jake shouted, "COWARD!"

"tsk, tsk, tsk, you really should learn to control your temper" Derek smirked, "It'll get you into trouble, especially in MY domain"

"YOU SHUT UP" Jake shouted.

"Fine, I'll just let my move speak for me" Derek smiled.

"It's not even YOUR TURN YET" Jake screamed.

"Then hurry up and move" Derek laughed, "A powerful lord like me, has SO little time on his hands"

"FIne. I play another monster face down in defense mode!" Jake seethed, "GO"

"I do the same boy!" Derek smiled, "Go"

"Time to make you pay" Jake growled drawing a card, then thinking to himself, "Hmm…this is the first step, the legendary formation, I could use this, but first"

"Make your move" Derek grumbled.

"I activate obese charity" Jake yelled, "Drawing three cards, and discarding the same number, which allows me to use my trap card now, I activate roulette of demise!"

"What does IT do again?" Derek rolled his eyes.

"I pick three cards from my graveyard, one is determined as stock, one is determined as win, and the other is lose, then I pick 7 cards out of the air, they don't have to be in my graveyard, deck, hand field or even with me, they're conjured as extras, spirit cards if you will"

"And?" Derek asked.

"If I get stock, all 10 cards are summoned to the field, if I get win, I pick any card I want, if I get lose, all of them goto the graveyard, if I get one of the others, I just get it"

"Okay" Derek grinned, "And if you get monsters?"

"I'll manage" Jake cackled, "ROULETTE, SPIN NOW"

The roulette spun around the ten cards Jake had picked in a circle, faster and faster until the roulette arrow looked similar to Giruie's eyes, until finally.

"STOP" Jake screamed, stopping the roulette on…stock, "YES, NOW WE'LL SEE WHO BEATS WHO, SUMMON CARDS!"

"EH?" Derek looked.

"Magna gauntlet, alpha chest, omni-helmet, pyro blaster armlet and mach boots, I SUMMON YOU ARMOR PIECES TO ME!" Jake cried out.

"That clears your field, what about those other cards?" Derek asked.

"Well, actually, they merge" Jake smiled, "So the 5 others are summoned too, since these technically aren't on the field, they're on me"

"You only have two more monsters" Derek commented, "What about the other 3 cards?"

"Face down" Jake smiled, "For later"

"Fine" Derek made a noise, "Continue"

"Okay" Jake blinked, "Magna gauntlet, destroy one of his monsters automatically, and take its attack power"

"WHAT!" Derek screamed.

"My special ability with this card" Jake smiled, "Now do it!"

"Not my berserk palidin!" Derek whimpered, "A 2500/1500 will HELP that thing"

"RIGHT YOU ARE" Jake laughed, "NOW, Pyro blaster armlet, attack!"

"It's so weak" Derek blinked.

"You misgive, it gains 1000 attack points for every thousand points my other pieces have, my head is 1000, my other armlet is 2500, my chest is 500, and so are my legs, so it goes up to 3500!"

"Ouch" Derek mumbled, "Well, I was in defense mode, so no problem"

"Yet" Jake smiled, "NOW GO"

"Okay" Derek mumbled, "I play a monster face down, go"

"Okay" Jake repeated and drew his card, grinning suddenly, "I've drawn it"

"Drawn what?" Derek blinked, then it dawned on him, "No, not that"

"YES!" Jake growled, sliding the card into the field slot, "ACTIVATING THE SEAL OF KARIKALAMOS!"

"You mean the OTHER one right?" Derek blinked.

"No" Jake smiled, "Karikalamos"

"That's" Derek blinked again.

"You see, every card has it's legacy" Jake grinned, "The Karikalamos was a holy seal card, created to banish darkness from this earth, well, darkness didn't like that, so the dark ones made the evil seal"

"Oh?" Derek asked, "What's the difference?"

"You can play the legendary dragons on this one" Jake smiled, "Other than that, nothing"

"NO WAY!" Derek yelled, "I..I thought you meant something else when you said seal your soul away in a card if you lose!"

"How dense can you be?" Jake growled.

"I thought you meant that if I lost I'd be able to get away" Derek stammered.

"You hurt me and my family" Jake snarled, "And then you expect me to bet my soul without you betting up an equal tariff!"

"Whatever" Derek muttered, "Just make your move"

"As you wish, I summon the first legendary dragon, THE EYE OF TIMIAS!" Jake cried out.

"NOT THAT ONE" Derek yelled.

"I'm not done" Jake growled, "PYRO ARMLET ATTACK!"

"Not my swordsman" Derek groaned. "Red swordsman only has 1500/2000"

"Right" Jake laughed, "And NOW, I attack with my magna gauntlet, to deal damage of 2500 to you, along with the rest of my armor, for a total of 4500 lost!"

"GAH" Derek moaned when the attack went through, "IT CAN'T END LIKE THIS"

"Yes it can" Jake laughed, "Make your move"

"Fine" Derek yelled throwing down a card, "With only 0/0 attack, Timias will be destroyed by my chaos imperial mage 2500/1000, still a four star monster, ATTACK!"

"Not so fast" Jake smiled, "I activate a trap, defender of the downtrodden, if a monster has les than 1000 attack, it cannot be destroyed while this card is in effect! As a punishment, it lets me summon two cards of equal strength as well"

"Oh NO" Derek bellowed.

"You KNOW which two I want" Jake grinned, "SUMMON THE FANG OF KRITIUS AND THE CLAW OF HAIRMOS!"

"NO" Derek yelled, "Meh, I end my turn"

"Right you are!" Jake growled drawing, "NOW I MERGE THEM TOGETHER USING THE DRAGONIC RITUAL, TO FORM DIVINE DRAGON, AFTER HIS EFFECT KICKS IN, HE HAS A GRAND TOTAL ATTACK OF 60000/60000"

"NO" Derek repeated, "It's over!"

"YES" Jake declared, "ATTACK, WITH DIVINE RADIANCE!"

"I ACTIVATE TOTAL KAMIKAZE" Derek cried out, "IF I DISCARD MY WHOLE HAND, AND EVERYTHING ON MY FIELD, I CAN DESTROY YOUR ENTIRE FIELD AS WELL"

"Okay" Jake blinked, discarding everything, "Sorry Divine Dragon, guess you couldn't help me this time"

"YEP" Derek laughed, "I end my turn, it's over for you!"

"Really?" Jake smiled.

"Yep, because it has an added affect" Derek laughed, "Every turn after the kamikaze, whoever's life points are higher, has their life points cut by half"

"Okay" Jake smiled and drew his card, his life points lowering to 4000.

Jake: 4000 LP

Derek: 3500 LP

"I've WON THIS GAME" Derek laughed.

"Really?" Jake smiled, "Look again!"

"WHAT!" Derek stammered, literally causing the antidote to fly from his hand and by some miracle, go through the seal, hit Giruie in the shoulder, and activate, administering the antidote"

"WHO…WHA!" Giruie replied, his eyes half spinning still as the antidote took hold on his body.

"NO" Derek screamed, "HOW!"

"I told you" Jake sneered, "The armor is NOT on the field, and your card only destroyed the field"

"FINE" Derek growled.

"Yes, fine" Jake smiled at him, "ARMOR ATTACK, FOR A TOTAL OF 8000"

"NO" Derek yelled.

"YES" Jake laughed, "Like last time, you've been defeated by more life points than you started out with, which means your soul belongs to ME now!"

"I DON'T THINK SO" A voice boomed from above and Robert dropped down to meet them.

"Oh really?" Jake smirked, "How do you intend to stop me?"

"With THIS" He showed a ring, "WITH THE POWER OF THE SACRED STONE OF THE ZYRE, I UNLOCK THE SEAL"

At that point, a lightshow began, energy flying everywhere, Jake being thrown unconscious to the floor, his energy drained, and Derek being drug away from the battle laughing insanely about how he made it away yet again with his life, below the doors to the prison opened and everyone rushed up to the level to meet with the fallen tamer.

"ARE YOU ALRIGHT!" Voices screamed over Jake's head as he lay there unconscious.

"No" Giruie sobbed, "He's not alright, the card when the seal released.."

"What is it Girumon?" Vic asked.

"The card.." Giruie stammered, "T-t-t-ook hi-hi--his…so-soul"

"NO" Ryou screamed, "THOSE FREAKS"

"He can be released though can't he?" Vic asked.

"Yes" Giruie mumbled sadly, "But it takes a lot of energy"

"That's not difficult" Rika perked up.

"Then put the card on his chest, over his heart, and stand in a circle around his body"

"Good" Giruie nodded placing his hand over the card, "Jake taught me this in case something like this ever happened"

"That was smart of him" Vic laughed bitterly.

"I agree" Rika blinked.

"Okay, now everyone focus on getting it to release his fallen soul" Giruie smiled, "This'll work, I know it will!"

Everyone did so and began taking out their D-arcs and using the power to energize the release ability on the card, meanwhile in a fortress off in the distance.

"Good..good" The voice laughed, "You got his soul, so you get the stone in which Robert used to free you!"

"That is very generous of you sir" Derek smiled, "I'll use the zyre to unleash chaos upon the digital world"

"Have fun with that" The voice muttered darkly as he left, "Good work, saving our pawn Robert"

"The pleasure was all mine sir" Robert replied.

"It had better be" The voice spoke, "They're all strong, remember that"

"I know" Robert smiled, "I'll exercise extreme caution"

"You'd better" The voice repeated.

"I'll be off now" Robert grinned, "I have a big day of training ahead of me ya'know"

"Yes yes, we know" The voice laughed, "Hurry up"

"Right" Robert replied as he left.

"FOOLS" The voice boomed to himself, "Just puppet's in a game, a game that's as old as time itself, ready the dark digimon, prepare for war, the battle has just begun, it's time, enter the search for the temples that guard the digital barrier!"

"Are you alright!" Rika yelled as Jake groggily came to.

"Um..yeah, I think so" Jake smiled at her weakly, still not totally there.

"DON'T EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN" she screamed, "DO YOU HEAR ME!"

"Yes" Jake mumbled patting her shoulder sleepily.

"GOOD" She replied, "You're supposed to be my boyfriend, then act like it"

"I thought I was your boyfriend" Vic muttered.

"Let's just drop it" Rika replied, bitterly annoyed.

"Let's just get to a safe zone" Jake mumbled, "I know a place where we can make camp, follow me"

"Alright" Ryou blinked, "If you say so.."

"Sorry to sound commanding by the way" Jake smiled, "I just thought you guys would like to know"

"It's alright" Ryou and Vic both replied at the same time.

"Okay then" Jake smiled, "Let's GO!"
