"Unfortunately it seems I can't take my own dark form." He added as a
puzzled look came over Claires face, it quickly vanished as she realized
what he had meant. The Sarcophagus had to weigh in at around two tons. It
was all but impossible to carry it around everywhere. Even the resources of
the Ghouls weren't limitless.
The silence they shared was broken by the phone ringing on Willems desk.
"Yes? Very well, send him in." Willem hung up the phone and looked at Claire. "It would seem, my dear, that Ajora has returned." He added as the door to his office opened and in stepped a figure wearing a black cloak.
"Mr. Spring, Yugi Muto now possesses the Saint Dragon God Osiris." Ajora said, his eyes down cast.
"And what of Obelisk?" Willem asked, his voice neutral.
"Velius hasn't reported in yet sir. There's been no word on Obelisks status." Ajora answered.
"Very well. Go back to the Island and find him. Tell him that if he doesn't complete phase one he'll answer to me." Willems gold colored eyes seemed to flash with light.
"Yes master." Ajora turned quickly, anxious to get out of the office.
"You wanted Yugi to have one of the most powerful cards in the Duel Monsters game?" Claire asked, slightly shocked that Willem would give up such a rare card willingly.
"Of course. If he didn't have the Osiris card I wouldn't be able to enact my plan. The same goes for the other two God Cards." Willem finished his tea and set the cup and saucer back on the service tray.
Mythos Castle
"Wow Yug, this place is creepy." Joey said as he and Yugi entered the castle. The sound of thunder outside.
"All smoke and mirrors Joey, Remember this is a park for Duelists and this castle is just another field." Yugi said in Response to his friends jittery comment.
"Yeah, but it's giving me major flash backs to that castle Pegasus had back at Duelist Kingdom." Joey said, looking around.
They continued along for what seemed like hours until they reached the central courtyard, what they found was the last thing they'd expected. A Duel was taking place the figure on the right, a young man with black hair wearing a light blue shirt and a pair of tan shorts. He had a maha vailo on the field and according to his Life Point screen he had 5500 Life Points remaining.
On the left was a figure that was all to familiar to Yugi and Joey. Panik, the Eliminator from Duelist Kingdom was gloating about his defense again.
"You don't stand a chance against my Impenetrable defense." He boasted as his Giant Soldier of Stone sat in front of him.
Panik: 6250
Ryu: 5500
"Hiding behind your defenses. Hmph, Pathetic." Ryu said as he drew for the turn.
Yugi chuckled slightly as he recalled his Duel with Panik at Duelist Kingdom. His words to Panik had been almost exactly the same as the boy playing against the massive Eliminator now.
"I activate, Mage Power on my Maha Vailo. Increasing it's attack by one thousand and its defense by five hundred. I'm not done yet though, Now I play the card I just drew, Fairy Meteor Crush!" He set the card into its Magic slot and a red glow came over Maha Vailo.
"Thanks to the combination of Maha Vailo's effect and the effect of Mage Power its attack increases another thousand points and its defense is jacked up another five hundred as well." Ryu added.
3550/2400
"Now Maha Vailo will destroy your Soldier." Ryu called out and the blue monster fired a blast of red energy at the Giant Soldier of Stone.
"HAHAHA! Because of my monster being in defense mode I take no Damage." Panik proclaimed just before his life points dropped by 1550.
Panik: 4700
Ryu: 5500
"WHAT!? HOW?" Panik was stumped, his monster had been in defense mode. How had his life points dropped?
"What's the matter Panik? Oh, I guess you don't know what Fairy Meteor Crush does. Well, it's a magic card that allows my monsters attack to spill over your defenses. You take any difference between the defense of your monster and the attack of my monster." Ryu explained calmly.
"You think that matters? I'll still destroy you and eliminate you from this Tournament." Panik replied, drawing his card.
'Ah, just what I needed. This little punk is toast.' Panik thought to himself as he set his card.
Rest Zone Three
"Are you sure you're okay? We can just call off the Tournament right now if you want." Robert called from the kitchenette. Robert and Sammatha had decided it would be best just to crash out for the night and had been lucky enough to get one of the deluxe "rooms" which included a fully stocked fridge, kitchen bathroom and a T-1 internet line... but no computer.
"I'm fine Rob, I just need a good nights rest." Sammantha called back from the bathroom, drying her face she stepped out to see Robert standing there with a plate of sandwiches and two cups of tea, from the smell Jasmine tea.
"Thanks honey." She smiled picking up a sandwich and the mug of tea.
"I know Jasmine's your favorite, and it's supposed to be very calming." Robert said as he took a bite out of a sandwich that looked like roast turkey and swiss, then took a swig of the tea.
After their dinner they both settled in for a nights sleep, Roberts right arm draped over Sammantha protectively.
She was asleep in seconds.
Mythos Castle
Panik had just drawn a card and was smiling evilly when he set it.
"Now that I've set my card I'll set this card in defense mode!" The massive eliminator called as he laid down the last card in his hand.
"And I'll end my turn now." Panik smirked and waved his hand towards Ryu as though he didn't matter, like he was dismissing him.
"I don't know what you're up to Panik, But I won't loose to your tricks. I'll set one card and equip my Maha Vailo with the Axe of Despair, increasing its attack to five thousand and fifty!" Ryu announced as a sinister looking axe appeared in his monsters hands.
"And now to take care of your defense. Maha Vailo, ATTACK!" The blue clad monster swung the evil looking axe at Paniks set monster and a wave of crackling red energy was launched from the blade.
"Not so fast, I activate Magic Cylinders!" Panik shouted and began to laugh hysterically.
Location Unknown
Sammantha was running for her life, something was chasing her and for the life of her she couldn't turn around to face it.
It had been perfect up until a few moments ago, she and Robert had been having a picnic at the beach Smiling and laughing happily, like she used to have with her family when she was younger. But the sky had suddenly darkened as soon as they'd kissed and Robert had been swallowed by the sand.
She'd tried for what seemed like an eternity to get him out, pulling and clawing at the beach in vain hopes of finding him safe under the now black sands.
Just when she'd think she had him he'd vanish again, then it came. The dark thing that was chasing her now. It had batted her away as though she were little more than a piece of refuse. That hadn't bothered her though, not as much as what the thing had said.
"He'll never accept you! You're worthless and don't deserve him! YOU DON'T DESERVE ANYTHING!" It's hideous rasping voce, like a thousand nails on a chalk board, had screeched. Then it launched at her and she took off running.
She ran as fast and as far as her legs would carry her, encountering no one the whole time. Looking around as she fled she realized, she had become horribly lost, she stood inside of an ancient looking chamber, its ceiling shrouded in darkness, seemingly going on forever.
The dank smell of stale air assaulted her nose and her skin felt cold but dry. Sammantha could faintly make out pictures etched into the wall, a bird, a man with a Jackals head. Another man with what looked like a birds head stood in front of the Jackal man, much larger and radiating a sense of nobility. Above both of them though was something that looked like a dragon coiled inside of the sun, twin rubies fitted into the eyes glittered and shone even in the dim light.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN HIDE HERE?! YOU THINK HE CAN PROTECT YOU!?" The dark creature was back, it's amorphous shape writhing like a giant octopus.
"YOU'RE WRONG YOU PATHETIC WASTE!" It lunged at her.
The silence they shared was broken by the phone ringing on Willems desk.
"Yes? Very well, send him in." Willem hung up the phone and looked at Claire. "It would seem, my dear, that Ajora has returned." He added as the door to his office opened and in stepped a figure wearing a black cloak.
