The 24th chapter of Vampire Destiny is now underway! The Shadow War is now pressing onward. Who will win in this epic battle between vampire, half demon, and duelist? Read onward as the war progresses.

The three vampires twirled around in the air, doing aerial cartwheels and other gymnastics. Kairi finally stopped, and descended to the rolling field.

"I suppose that you don't have any troops, Pharaoh?" she asked teasingly. "I expect that the only troops that you'll have are the people around you!" She lifted her head back, and laughed evilly.

"That's where you're wrong, Kairi," Yami chuckled, smiling. "We do have troops, right here!" He then strapped on his Duel Disk, and called forth a few monsters. Joey, Yugi, Tea, and Tristan did the same. Yugi had out the same monsters as Yami, for protection. They were: Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Black Chaos, but before they could get their last monster out, their decks glowed white, as did Joey's.

"What's going on, Yuge?" Joey asked, nearly half-shouting. Their spirits were transported to a castle which all three of them recognized. "I don't believe it…"

"We're in the Dominion of the Beasts," Yami whispered in awe. Before them, they saw the three knights of Atlantis in front of them.

"Hey, Hermos," Joey greeted the red knight. "How is everything? Any evil monsters attacking?" Hermos shook his head, and smiled at his former master.

"Timaeus," Yami whispered, bowing at the blue knight who had a diagonal scar across his right eye. "Why did you call us here?"

"We would like to be in your army to stop this great evil that fell upon the earth," Timaeus replied, holding up his sword. Both Critias and Hermos did the same. "Where is Critias's master, Kaiba?"

"Sorry, he isn't fighting with us," Yugi said sadly. Then, his bright indigo eyes lit up like stars. "Hey, how about Inuyasha? I'm sure that he would like to have a knight along with him to help him fight, if he needed backup or something." The black knight nodded, and smiled.

"An excellent idea, Yugi," he replied, bowing as the same white, blinding light appeared all around them. When they returned, Yugi and Yami's monsters seemed to bow before the royal knights of Atlantis.

"Well, we meet again," Dartz hissed, glaring at the knights. "Hello, Timaeus. How is that eye of yours?" Timaeus growled, brandishing the sword at the very man who did that to him so long ago.

"Don't just stand there!" he yelled to the monsters surrounding the three knights. "Attack!" The monsters leapt into battle, attacking all of the weaker vampires, rather than the higher ranked ones. The lesser vampires quickly fell to the ground in a heap, blood surrounding them. Kairi was furious at this.

"How dare you attack my army?" she screeched, leaping up into the air to strike at Shippo. The little kitsune cringed in fear, bracing for impact, but a flash of red and white quickly saved him, which caused Kairi's claws to become stuck in the feeble ground. She glared at them hard with her crimson red eyes.

"This isn't over, Pharaoh!" she screamed, breaking free from the grasp of nature.
