Ch 13 Master Of Fiends

All I can say is whoa.

Wanderer awoke with no clue where he was he staggered to his feet slightly disoriented. He blinked a few times and realized he was in the shadow realm when his wife gently touched him helping to steady him.

Then suddenly she was gone and he was again all alone. "Well this just sucks." Wanderer says as he looks around.

A light appeared then a scale model of the universe appeared, "what the?" wanderer said as it began to zoom in on earth.

"This is earth, at the time of the great pharaoh." a voice said as wanderer watched Bakura and Yugi do battle. "Many great battles where fought then fueled by my copies."

"Copies?"

"The millennium items are mere copies of the ones that came before," the voice said as suddenly the world started spinning and time begin rewinding.

"What does that mean?"

"To know that we must go far back" it started rewinding even faster. "Past Atlantis" suddenly visions of Dartz appeared then flew by. "Past the ice age, farther and farther back." things continued to fly by wanderer-watched things de-evolve then even farther back. "To 1 billion years ago"

"Wait what?" wanderer said confused.

"One billion years ago I was created, the item you now own is the fifth of the original eight items. Made of purest platinum, each was very different. Each item was designed for a different person, the first for master of magicians yugi, the second for the god of luck now known as Joey wheeler, the third for the fairy princess tea Gardner, the fourth for the god of dragons, I the fifth item was built for you master of fiends, the sixth for the machinery mad man now known as bandit Keith, the seventh was made for zombie ruler, the final item was built for royal reptile."

"Wait what who're the others?"

"They where all friends till it came orichalcos stones rained from the sky it awakened a great beast hidden deep inside the earth a monster called the leviathan it attacked the master of fiends head quarters and you believed it was an attack by the god of dragons. You started a war that consumed the peaceful world you once ruled your fiends joined with the zombies to take on an alliance of machines, dragons and reptiles. The remaining 3 item holders simply tried to minimize damage to people and monsters. It was no use as more and more monsters and humans chose sides, the death rate climbed high as the leviathan attacked all of them. Finally all eight item holders met in combat there armies and magic's pitted against each other, the magical energies from the attacks built up more and more till finally it exploded the world boiled and burnt away the creatures on the planet destroying everything or it would have if not for the three who did not want the war using there powers to create a barrier and send the monsters out of this world our world and into there own realm close to ours a "shadow realm". The destruction of the planet also annihilated the orichalcos stones and should have killed off the leviathan as well but somehow it survived but its power was completely drained. Now you have returned and it is time, time for us to again join together in battle against evil."

Wanderer's deck appeared before him fiends filled his deck now more then ever various cards shown brighter depicting themselves as archfiends, a selection of cards slid into a pouch and settled on his hip a powerful side deck.

"I have a question" wanderer said looking around.

"Ask away"

"What are you?"

"I am the fifth item built and designed by you for you"

"I meant how are you sentient I know me I wouldn't want you to be that way."

"Oh well it's a funny thing, we're those eight souls imprints on this item"

"I bet it's crowded in there."

"It would be, if we where still separate beings. Over the years we've sort of fused together into one person."

Suddenly the shadow realm faded and wanderer showed back up where he was standing next to the tablet containing the items. He staggered suddenly and fell to the floor like he was drunk, for him it'd been over and hour but time had barely passed in the temple.

"This is the guy you say is going to save the world?" Mill Tem asked as wanderer slowly got up off the floor.

"Dude I'm sooo not in the mood for your lip." wanderer said as he set the item down on the tablet and shaking himself.

"Then duel." Mill said activating his duel disk.

"Fine" Wanderer said activating his chaos duel disk.

Mill Tem glowed and suddenly he changed his eyes looked like millennium eyes and his whole body and demeanor changed drastically. Wanderer drew seven tools of the bandit, infernal queen archfiend, dark bishop archfiend, terror king archfiend and reload then drew for his turn pandemonium. Wanderer set seven tools of the bandit, reload and then set his monster infernal queen. Mill drew and his eyes glowed with power and suddenly him and wanderer where somewhere else.

"Where are we?"

"I see you tried to read my mind, that was a mistake welcome to my mind."

"But that's not how this is supposed to work"

"You tried to read my mind, which means you have to enter it and well I just don't feel like letting you back out."

"What why would you want to keep me in here?"

"I think I'll teach you a lesson is all."

Mill began looking around as outside their minds their two bodies stood still.

"Are you two going to do anything?" Kaiba said angrily then looked closer and saw Mill's nose begin bleeding.

Back inside wanderer's head "what was that?" Mill asked as he held his head.

"That was your brain collapsing under the stress of what you're seeing."

"What?"

"Oh I see, you haven't figured it out, looking in my mind is detrimental to your health. The longer you're here the more damage that will be done, now if you look that way you'll see the end of a universe." blood began pouring from his nose, ears and eyes. "Over there is the beginning of another, over there is when I was a god, over there I was a planet eater, had enough yet or do you still want to read my mind?" Mill jerked again and again like he was taking physical and powerful blows, and then he was thrown back against the wall where he crumpled to the floor.

Wanderer opened his eyes and shrugged "well I'll take that as I won."

He stood there laughing at the three of them.

"Moron's did you really think you could beat me? You didn't even make it past the fourth seal of the orichalchos. You deserve your fate as statues I hope you reflect on that till I give your souls to be feasted on."

Three humans stood and are slowly turned into statues Alistair, Raphael, Valon where frozen in terror there cards in there hands.

We didn't know it at the time but dartz original minions tried to stop the new orichalchos user. They fought hard but fell before the insane might of the new ruler of the orichalchos.
