Hello people, sorry I haven't updated this story yet but I just got involved with writing fiction stories, all ready written two. Therefore, I am trying to update as fast as I can.
First, there are a few thank yous' I want to give out, and a little information I need to tell you all.
Harpie's Brother: I am glad you like my story, and thanks for the other stories. Also, thanks for the characters; I have the perfect place to put Silver Fang.
Sasameyuki: Thanks for the review, and keep reading, and as for the pairings, if you had given me Ryukishi sooner I would have maybe used her, but I have never heard of this monster, hmm.........I got it! Maybe I could her as a pairing with Magician of Black Chaos. However, I just heard of this monster called Wingweaver, so this why it has taken so long to update. Ok, so the pairings are going to be as follows:
--Dark Magician/White Magician
--Black Luster Soldier/Dark Necrophia
--Magician of Black Chaos/? (Either Wingweaver or Ryukishi)
--Dark Magician Girl/Neo the Magical Swordsman
--Buster Blader/Mystical Elf
--Celtic Guardian/Elf Mistress
Well I believe that's everyone. I have already started this story so the pairings are final so to say (sorry). Keep reading!
Mizukori: Yeah I know, I agree too that some Japanese names are better, but I am an American whether I like or not, and I am used to English names. Oh, and about that scene in chapter 9: I made Blake say that because it was kind of part of my sick little sense humor, I was trying to make Blake seem sarcastic. I guess I screwed up, it was supposed to be for laughs. I am not very good at writing humor. Sorry.
Visor Swordsman: Glad you like it, I like your toon really, but I'm sorry I cannot use him. He just doesn't fit in with my storyline. But maybe............who knows I could surprise myself.
ShadowPhoenix1: applause Your dance cheered me up a lot. starts dancing too
ShintaHimura: ; to you too. Keep reading, its gets better, in my opinion.
Now lets get started! I do not own Yugioh characters or monsters, although Yugi is soooooooooo cute, and Yami is sooooooooooo tall, dark, and handsome. I still love them both, and I hate Tea, for taking them from me. No offense though to Tea-fans right? ducks flying tomatoes

Dangerous and Magical
Chapter 11: Into the Darkness
Upon hearing the magical swordsman's cries and shouts, Catalina was growing more nervous, hoping he and Krystal were all right. Catalina quickly stole a glance up at her master. Mace was leaning against the railing of the wide staircase, arms crossed and eyes closed, in apparent deep thought. She smiled at this, before slipping quietly into the room beyond the black curtain. Once inside, Catalina let her eyes roam over the darkened room.
Suddenly, she gasped in fright as she saw Neo leaning against the dark wall, banging his fists against it. His once bright blue eyes, seemed dull and lifeless.
Cautiously, the Dark magician girl walked up to him, and tentatively placed her hand on his shoulder only to have it forced away as he abruptly turned around, startling her as she stared into his flaming blue eyes.
Neo, startled by the sudden touch, turned around, believing it to be a Fiend coming back for him, and silently threatened to attack the monster. However, when his eyes finally focused and he saw Catalina in apparent shock. His eyes suddenly softened with realization.
"Catalina! I'm sorry; I didn't realize it was you."
Noticing that Neo was extremely troubled, she went down to her knees and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly, not wanting to let him go.
"Hey, it's all right, there's no harm done. Why were you crying anyway and where is Krystal?"
Catalina asked calming down from her small shock, but still held curiosity in her eyes. Neo straightened up a little, trying to look serious.
"Catalina, I believe my sisters' been captured."
Just then, Catalina giggled slightly, but stopped as soon as she saw the seriousness in his eyes.
"How is that possible though?" Catalina pondered, "All the warriors here each have a special sense, allowing us to know of any intrusion. Also, the whole gang was right outside the doorway, we would have heard someone enter."
"That's because no one entered. Somehow the Cosmo Queen was able to create a portal between here and the Land of Fiends." Neo concluded.
"Well then," started Catalina, perking up a little, "Let's go tell the others what we found out, and then bring Krystal back. I'm sure everyone will want to help."
Catalina stood up and reached her hand out to help Neo up, who graciously accepted.
"Thank you, Catalina; you are truly a kind friend." Neo smiled, staring at her, making the dark magician girl redden. Then, Catalina blushed even more as Neo placed a small kiss on her cheek.
With that, Catalina's smile brightened and she began to pull Neo out of the room to tell the others their news.

Sapphire eyes slowly opened only to be met with surrounding darkness. Krystal, confused sat up holding her head in her hand, from a small headache she did not know where it came from. All she could remember was comforting her younger brother, and then a flash of green light, then everything went blurred and black.
As the confused White magician tried to stand up from the covers of the makeshift bed of black satin, she soon was forced back down and felt happy barks and licks to her face. Krystal opened her eyes again to see a young white wolf, with his front paws on her lap, staring at her with bright eyes. Krystal pushed the wolf down to the floor and then began to pet the beast behind the ear, making it pant and whine for more.
Krystal was in content as she sat in silence, making this wolf a new friend. Just then, a voice spoke up from the darkness.
"Well now, I see you and my Silver Fang are getting along quite nicely."
Krystal looked to see who it was, unprepared for any sudden visitors. "Who are you?"
The figure stepped from the dark shadows to stand in front of the White magician. Silver Fang immediately jumped from Krystal and trotted happily over to its master, who spoke calmly.
"My name is Jineva, the Witch of the Black Forest. The Queen has ordered me to watch over you until she is ready to do battle."
"You mean, I am in the Land of Fiends!" said Krystal, shocked that she was able to get here so fast.
"Yes," Jineva then turned to Silver Fang, "Silver, go and fetch our guest something to eat."
With that the white wolf howled softly and ran out to fulfill its duty. The White magician could do nothing but watch how kindly Jineva treated the animal, thinking all fiends were evil and cruel.
"Why are you so kind to me, Jineva? Is there something you want?" asked Krystal, looking a little suspicious. Jineva looked down.
"Because the Queen commanded me to. Also, I am not like the other Fiends."
"What do you mean?"
"You see, I am actually an Earth creature, but I was captured and taken here. That is where I met my best friend, Aurora."
"You know Aurora!?!" Krystal was in shock as her desire for revenge began to grow. "Where is she? Please tell me!" she pleaded.
Jineva could see Krystal was on the verge of tears. Therefore, she decided to tell what happened to the light child.
(----)
The dungeons were dark and dreary as usual. Blood-curdling screams filled prisoners dreams and nightmares as they waited in their cells for the day they met face to face with death. One girl, however, sat alone against the damp wall of her cell. She kept staring out the small window to the outside, worrying about her animals in the forests and wondering if she would ever see them again. Just then, two more screams could be heard in the cell next to her.
Jineva stood up and peered through the tiny window into the next cell. She could see a boy and a girl huddled together. The girl was comforting the small boy.
"Hey, over here." Jineva whispered, not wanting to draw much attention.
The golden-haired girl heard the soft voice. Abruptly, she got up and turned to face the small indent in the wall.
"Who are you?" asked the blonde girl.
"My name is Jineva, why are you here?" asked the black haired girl.
"I am Aurora, of the Valley of Light, and.........well, I do not know why my brother and I are here." She said this with slight smirk showing on her face.
"Liar," Jineva whispered under her breath, "If you were truly captured, then you wouldn't be smiling, or comforting your brother more than yourself."
Aurora frowned and looked quickly back at her brother, "All right, but you've got to promise me not to tell my brother any of this."
Jineva nodded.
Aurora eyes became glazed over, and she told Jineva everything.
(----)
"Aurora went on to tell me that the Fiends were just doing as they were commanded to do. She told me that many years ago, Aurora had wandered into the Land of Fiends through a secret entrance underneath the Valley of Light. The Fiends found her; and somehow they forced her to come with them, and she accepted. All she said was that she wanted to be stronger than any monster or warrior in the Valley of Light; to prove to her sister that she was just as capable of becoming a powerful warrior." Jineva said this as Silver Fang came trotting through the doorway with small tray filled with food, which was safely clutched between its teeth.
Jineva turned away to accept the food, but also not wanting to see the expression of shock and confusion of the white magician. Krystal soon found her voice.
"You mean that Aurora planned everything, including the capture of herself and Neo? But why would a light creature want to betray her home?"
"I don't know." Said Jineva simply; "All I do know is that you need your rest for your battle."
"My battle?!"
"Yes, that is why the Cosmo Queen brought you here. She wants to meet with you and destroy you herself." Jineva said as she stood and left the room, with Silver Fang walking along beside her, both leaving a shocked White magician.

Meanwhile back in the Land of Shadows, outside the Dark Temple, all the warriors stood there preparing to leave for the Land of Fiends. The only question was how they were going to get there quickly.
"Ok, does anyone have any ideas?" asked David, stating what everyone was thinking.
"Well, flight is probably going to be the fastest way to get there, but the only thing is where the nearest entrance is to the Lands." Blake spoke, wondering how everyone was going to enter the Land without many monsters noticing them.
Just then, a small tug was felt against Neo's arm. Neo looked down and saw Dreamsprite looking up at him, her big orange wings beating rapidly.
"I know my friend, Shadow will help you all out and you've got mine too." She said as everyone heard shrill cry behind Dreamy, which told everyone that Shadow was agreeing with her, but only because Dreamy gave Shadow her 'innocent' look. However, Shadow spoke too. "I could take you warriors to the entrance of the Land of Fiends but I am not going in there. Stepping one foot beyond the boundary means suicide."
Shadow soon saw all the determined faces, knowing that they all would stop at nothing to get their friend back. She gave a loud sigh, and lowered her black wings. Soon all seven warriors steadied themselves on her transparent body, with Dreamy sitting on her head, and Neo sitting in front, to give direction how to find the secret entrance.
The ride remained very quiet with the exception of Neo and Shadow navigating their way through the skies.
After about two hours, the group arrived just outside the Valley's high mountains. "All right guys, from now on you're on your own. What you're doing suicide!" said Shadow as she took off with a final beat of her mighty wings. "I wish you good luck too." Said Dreamy, as the group watched the blue-skinned fairy disappeared through a small opening in the mountain.
The shadow warriors walked on along the mountainside. They were led by Neo, who sort of remembered the way when he was the Skull Knight. Everything was quiet and while everyone was a bit on edge, the slightest noise startled them. They jumped when they saw three figures appear from the dense, lush forest surrounding the Valley.
"Who are you?" shouted Mace, preparing his staff for an attack.
"Calm down Dark magician, we only wish to help you all fight the Fiends." said a voice coming from the small group.
The three figures emerged out of the brush. The one who spoke was the Celtic Guardian, followed by two others, one being the Elf Mistress.
"Sara! What are you doing here?" asked Neo, at seeing his old friend. Sara smiled.
"Hello Neo, it's good to see you again, at last. We heard of the Cosmo Queen, capturing Krystal, and we came to help you. We also brought someone else who would most likely prove a valuable ally." said the Elf Mistress as she motioned behind her and Kevin to the third darkened figure.
"Who is it?" asked Robert, curiously, preparing for a trap.
"Her name is Wingweaver (2750/2400)." Answered Kevin, as the figure stepped from the shadows to reveal a tall young woman with long purple hair, stopping just past her shoulders. Six bluish white wings came out from her back, and her lightly tanned skin was wrapped in a tight yellow dress that was cut just below the shoulders.
Just then, the fairy opened her bright amethyst eyes. "Please call me Courtney, Wingweaver is just too formal."
"What are you doing here Courtney?" asked Neo, stepping in front of the group, "I thought you didn't like it in the Valley. You said it was too secluded."
Courtney smirked, and nearly laughed, "That is true, but if you remember, I also have a little score to settle with your sister."
Neo, after pulling another memory from his mind, started to chuckle under his breath. Sara also giggled silently as she too remembered.
"What's so funny?" Catalina asked, curiously.
Neo stopped and looked over at the Dark Magician Girl and smiled, "Sorry, it's just that Krystal and I knew Courtney when we little, and ever since she and my sister started training, Krystal alwa—" However he didn't finish because of Courtney's hand coming down over his mouth. "Please Neo, if anyone is going to embarrass me it will be me." Neo silenced and Courtney released him, and continued his story.
"Yes, Krystal and I fought together; in fact we were the two of the most powerful warriors in the Valley. It really impressed the White Sage. We could defeat anyone either separate of together, and sometimes we even formed a tag team match. However, whenever we two tried to fight each other, it always ended in Krystal coming on top; Every time! Let's just I have a 'small' grudge and I will help Krystal for the one reason that I want to be the one who defeats the White Magician."
By the time, she had finished talking giving her story, all the shadow were snickering while glancing at Mace, who knew the truth, that he, though just barely, did indeed defeat Krystal in a duel. However, growing a little impatient Kevin broke the silence that had fallen. "Excuse me, but we are not anywhere just standing around sharing campfire stories." Everyone agreed.
"Your right, follow me." Courtney began, stepping in front of the group leading them further around the base of the mountain. They all kept in toe with the Wingweaver, until she stopped and they all gathered around a small stone well, covered and nearly hidden with vines and thick moss. It looked very old, like it had not been used in years. Courtney continued.
"This well, is how Fiends are able to get to the Shadow Realm, light creatures built it so small so no huge and powerful monsters could get through, however, since the Cosmo Queen took over, all kinds of Fiends have been coming through."
"All we have to do is jump down and we'll be at the border line of their land." Blake said, finishing Courtney's explanation.
"Exactly, but one at a time, we all won't fit at once." However, before Courtney could finish her sentence, Mace swung himself over the stone well wall, plunging himself into utter darkness, beyond no shadow monster has ever experienced.
"Master!" Catalina called worriedly after him, and soon she too jumped in to the darkness. "Wait! You don't the way!" Neo shouted and he too dove into the well. Eventually, Robert, Natasha, David, Blake, Sara, and Kevin, followed suit into the seemingly everlasting darkness, Courtney was the last, glancing around to see if anyone had followed. Seeing no one, she turned to her attention back to the well, and jumped into dark well, and entered through the portal where no warrior ever returned the same being as they were.

Well I hoped you enjoyed that I just had to finish this. I had left it incomplete for so long. I didn't know if I was ever going to get back to it.
CU L8er!
