The grass shuffled beneath their feet as they crossed through the meadows, the blue sky shining over them, white cotton clouds hovering above. The Dark Magician Girl hovered behind them, her eyes casting nervous glances as if though something were going to jump out at them. A low rustling sounded from a nearby bush, a figure standing up from its kneeled position. It was a man with long purple hair and blue eyes, wearing a purple cloak, clutching a mint green staff in his right hand.
"Dark Magician!" Yugi cried out, his eyes lighting up brightly. Brian and Kairi bowed before him as if he was a pharaoh.
"Mahad," they whispered. "A servant to the Pharaoh now infused with Illusion Magician. We beseech thee." The monster smiled kindly, looking down at the Protectors with pride.
"You have come a long way, Guardians," he whispered, mainly to Brian and Kairi. "Like me, you have evolved through time and space for this moment. Well done." They all nodded, and turned back towards their destination: a jousting field. A crowd of monsters were gathered around the fence, where a knight atop an indigo horse was laughing evilly, his eyes glowing crimson. He lifted a javelin into the air.
"Who thinks they can defeat me, Swift Gaia?" he shouted out, the crowd roaring out contestants. The Protectors stepped forward, the knight looked over at them. "Are one of you challengers?" Kairi stepped forward, her sapphire eyes staring hard into crimson.
"I shall be your challenger, Gaia," she replied, clenching her fist. "Just get me in there, and we shall begin." She turned towards the other Protectors, and winked. "I'll be sure to defeat him so that we can continue on in this new world." She leapt over the fence, pulling the duster hood over her head, hiding her face from the other monsters that hadn't seen her yet. She leapt up onto a grey Arabian, taking hold of a red and black lance. She faced her evil opponent, whose horse pawed the ground in anticipation, awaiting orders. A referee monster, Man-Eater Bug, stood near the side, holding up a white flag.
"Get into positions," he stated, the jousters taking their places by the wooden fence. "And…BEGIN!" The steeds started to pick up speed as the opponents lowered their lances towards each other. The sound of clanging metal met the crowd's ears as Gaia fell of his steed, which was now near the referee. Kairi lowered her hood, Man-Eater Bug coming near her.
"We have a new champion!" he cried out, lifting her hand into the air. The crowd and the Protectors cheered loudly. "Now, for the feast!" The monster's eyes glowed red, his fangs gleaming wickedly. Thinking quickly, Kairi thrust her lance into the bug's chest, spewing out black blood. When she pulled it out, a black heart was upon the tip, still beating.
"Gross," she muttered, setting the heart on the ground. She lifted her foot, tightly closed her eyes, and let her foot fall. A loud splat was heard, and the heart was nothing but a pile of goop on the grass. "I am so not enjoying this right now." She walked off, the Man-Eater Bug's body crumpling to the ground in a heap.
-Meanwhile, in the castle-
"Tell me what happened again, Relinquished," a voice hissed in the shadows. "I want to know what we're up against."
"Well, Sire," the monster rambled. "Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight was defeated by this girl in a jousting tournament. Shall I alert the others?" The figure leaned back on the throne, and nodded. The mutant monster bowed and left, muttering something.
Who was Relinquished speaking with? And who will the Protectors face next? Find out in chapter three, Swords and Daggers.
