Cheŕe: Dark Musical Summon!
The shadowmancer said those cruel words as her monster disappeared into the fog. Never to be seen again. A light of darkness came from the middle of the "Field". It was almost majestic in a cruel way. At first the darkness of the room Confused reishi or else her eyes were confused Indescribable amounts of pitch blackness that was happening around her. For 10 seconds, all she could make out was Dark lumps of anti-matter trying to form something but to no avail.
Reishi: What Is this? W-What the hell is happening?
Reishi said, Scared as hell.
Cheŕe: For every ounce of light, there must be darkness….. It needs to be Perfectly balanced as all things should.
The shadowmancer responded with a parable.
Cheŕe: -And so I sacrifice these two monsters to you Our god! Please In Return bring to me the one called - Dark Hayato!
The shadowmancer Put her hands together and chanted to herself. Her prayer was heard and answered. The Dark lumps of darkness responded to her Sermon and came together to form a singular monstrous figure that manifested itself onto the monster that appeared from the vortex of evil was terrifying to the core.
It was a bird-like creature with an elongated beak and eagle-like eyes that could pierce through your soul. It had claws as long as it's body with talons for legs; all that could be used for scratching out and eating your beast's whole body was covered in purple feathers and it was wearing a Japanese garb with the shadowmancer crescent on its head. It had a very traditional asian feel to it which contrasted to the shadowmancers origin. Regardless though, it was a monster.

Reishi: W-What? What is this?
Reishi's voice cracked as she stared at the new power and the monster. It was horrifying to think that the shadowmancers could produce such a thing. A terrifying new beast that could end her life at will.
Cheŕe: This monsieur? -This Is the power of the shadows. A new type of summon that calls of the power of darkness. It is a rendition of your own summoning method.
Reishi: What do you mean? This isn't any summoning method I've heard of!
Cheŕe: Hoi. Do you not listen? I Just said it.
Reishi: ….?
Cheŕe: It is a darker form of Musical summoning.
Her face contorted into a wicked smile again and she laughed.
Reishi: I don't understand.
Cheŕe: Of course you don't. The path of the shadows can lead to many abilities some might call "Unnatural". But alas it is the truth.
Cheŕe: You see, Monsieur; Just like how there is yin, There is also yang. The form of musical summoning that you and most of humanity uses is the "Light side" of musical summoning. But we, the shadowmancers have found a way to use the dark side.
Reishi: No way…..
Cheŕe: Using the darkness we can summon all sorts of wicked beasts and demons to our aid! Yes! This is the power that our queen and the dark god have bestowed upon us.
The fog got thicker and thicker as the shadowmancer said her monologue.
It was clear what she was saying was no joke. The darkness could be used to bring forth dark musical monsters.
Reishi: I Simply… I-I.
Reishi couldn't piece together any coherent words.
Cheŕe: In awe? Don't be. All humans we duel are shocked by this power!
Cheŕe: Alas. They don't last long usually after they see it.
Reishi: W-Why?
Reishi asked.
Cheŕe: Well, On top of having powerful Attack points they also have devious effects… Which I'll demonstrate Now!
She grinned
Cheŕe: I activate Dark Hayato's effect!
Reishi: …!
The menacing maniac made a hideous screech in accordance.
Cheŕe flipped her hair and explained the monster ability.
Cheŕe: Once Pér turn, I can negate all cards on the side of your field effects.
Reishi: !
The winged beast flapped its wings creating dark funneling whirlwind which enveloped reishi's side of the field. Musical Magician was hit hard and turned gray which signified his lost of ability

Reishi: No…!
Now with her monster's atk lowered she was vulnerable to an attack.
Cheŕe: En garde! Battle phase!
Cheŕe: Ah, How ironic. A tough magician like yours being taken out by a mere devil. Like the story of morgan le fay back at home.
Reishi: Wait- Both of our monsters have The same attack points! Would you really attack and destroy them both?
Cheŕe: Of course not you fool! I activate le Quick play spell - Metaverse!
A card that depicted a shadows hovering over a city was played from Cheŕe's hand.
Cheŕe: This card allows me to activate a field spell from my deck!
Reishi: N-Nani?
A card appeared from Cheŕe's deck and magically bounced into her hand!
Cheŕe: Le Field spell - Mystic Plasma zone now comes into effect!
When the card activated the area of sky above the tykers center was filled was with a swirling void. It was terrifying to anyone who would've saw as it spewed lightning from within it's core onto the ground, Frightening reishi. The sky was now a negative image of its daytime beauty, midnight blue with clouds swirling like spilled black ink in water.
Cheŕe: All of my Dark monsters gain 500 atk but lose 400 def!

The monster was now powerful enough to take on Musical magician. Cheŕe quickly capitalized and declared her attack.
Cheŕe: Attaque! My Dark hayato, Destroy her magician.
*Screech*
The birdman screeched like an eagle creating a soundwave throughout the air.
It flapped its wings and charged towards the musical magician.
*Scratch*
It's sharp claws slashed right through musical magician causing a shockwave that knocked reishi on her butt again.
Reishi LP: 5550
Reishi: Argh!
Cheŕe: -And here you are again mon ami. Right on your keister like last turn. Only this time at mercy of my inner darkness~ I end my turn with a face down.
Cheŕe's face turned lewd as she ended her turn. She seemed to take delight in the darkness that had fallen before her and reishi.
Reishi: Ugh!
Reishi brushed herself off and got back up again.
Reishi: I swear… i'll never forgive you shadowmancers.
Cheŕe: hmm?
Reishi: For not only kidnapping my friend but turning Something I love - Musical summoning into an evil and dark act !
Cheŕe: Evil?
Cheŕe paused.
Reishi: Yes. Evil.
Cheŕe: That hurts honey. I don't see myself as evil. I see myself as a libeŕator.
Reishi: A liberator of what?
Cheŕe: Of your souls.
Reishi: W-What do you mean?
Cheŕe: I don't want to go into a monologue about myself but...Yours truly joined the shadowmancers after a particular depressing realization.
Cheŕe:- I realized life is meaningless. -And to continue on like my life means something, is just pointless. I had no reason to live.
Reishi: That is-
Cheŕe: -But then! I met the masked queen and like a saint from arc, She gave me a purpose! Liberating the souls of the world from the grasps of the light and submerging them into the darkness! It was magnificent.
Cheŕe exclaimed. Her face turned red in bliss thinking about her "Journey".
Reishi: That's pathetic.
Cheŕe: Excuse moi?
Reishi: Losing hope is one thing… But to turn to darkness is just Desperate! There are plenty of reasons to live. Friends,Family,Pets… Anything, Really! You don't have to live for yourself. You can find a purpose and live by that.
Cheŕe: I wouldn't know how to do such a thing….
Reishi: To find a purpose? To find a reason to live? You don't know how to do that?
Cheŕe: N-No.
Her voice stuttered.
Reishi: ( I think I know the kind of people the masked queen likes to recruit.)
Reishi thoughts relented and she shook her head, Knowing that the shadowmancer would likely never understand basic human motivation.
Reishi: My turn I draw!
Reishi: I activate the card - Tokens for Trade!
A card appeared on the field. It's portrait displayed a small goat being traded for various card itself had three effects but reishi chose to use the first one.
Reishi: I can destroy all of my tokens on the field to draw cards equal to the amount destroyed.
She explained.
*Scoreee?*
All The tokens panicked as they all disintegrated into nothingness, Traded only for mere trading cards. It was poetic in a sense.
Reishi on the hand, Had drawn her three cards on to find disappointment.
Reishi: (ugh. None of these cards can help me….)
Reishi: I set a monster facedown and a set card and end my turn….
Reishi relented at the fact that she could nothing in the face of the new Hideous form that had shown itself on the field. It was either do or die and it looked like she would die.
