Chapter 6: Attack of the Lightsworns
Dani was nervous. She had just witnessed one of the legendary Shadow Duels she had heard stories about and had received a chilling message from their apparent enemy, the Master. What had her nervous was the part the Master had said about 'extinguishing her spark'. She'd gotten death threats before; spending most of your teenage years in the slums of Satellite orphaned will drive a girl to do some things that might bug some people to that extreme. This threat, coupled with the power the Master apparently wielded somehow struck a chord with Dani. It was as though the Master had said the very thing that would rattle her.
"So," she began conversationally to her legendary companions as they plotted their next move, having gone a couple of blocks away from the unconscious grunts. "How many bad guys have you two taken down before this madness?"
"Three," Yugi answered, "Pegasus, Marik, and Dartz."
"Oh great, so you have some experience with stuff like this. Is there an easy way to do this then?"
Yugi let out a weary chuckle. "I wish there were. We have faced some tough opponents before, but none like this Master. I've never seen anyone or anything like him."
"What do you think Kaiba?" Dani asked, looking over at the Kaibacorp president.
"He's nothing but another power mad megalomaniac who puts too much stock into fairytales," Kaiba answered, "Why else would he program his lackey's Duel Disks to create those firewalls?"
"They seemed pretty real to me," Dani said, "I don't think you're taking this seriously, Kaiba."
Kaiba's frown deepened. "Sounds to me like you're taking this too seriously. Seriously Yugi, why is it whenever I'm with you, we get surrounded by people who believe in this nonsense? First it was Duelist Kingdom, with Pegasus somehow hypnotizing us into thinking our souls were trapped. Then it's Battle City with you putting too much faith into some ancient rock. Most recently there was some idiot claiming he was from Atlantis stealing souls from people to summon a giant lizard! Every single time, you and your friends believe that the world is in danger when it's nothing but people altering Kaibacorp technology!"
"Kaiba, why do you always doubt what's happening when the truth is obvious?" Yugi countered, "Can't you just accept that there's something going on here that science can't explain?"
"No, Yugi, I can't, because science can explain everything eventually. I don't know who built a time machine in the shape of a dragon to bring us here, but I will find out and crush them."
"You think the Crimson Dragon is a time machine?!" Dani laughed, "Oh Kaiba, I didn't know you had a sense of humor!"
"I don't."
"So, Yugi," Dani continued, ignoring Kaiba, "any ideas where to go next?"
"Not really," Yugi admitted, "Usually after the grunts the big bad guy sends someone more talented to try and defeat me and my friends. After that, it's work our way towards the big bad boss at the end and beat him."
"Great." Dani said simply, absorbing what she'd just heard. "So, what, we wait around for this peon to show up?"
"No, we keep moving," Yugi answered, "They'll find us either way, but it usually goes faster if we move around."
Dani sighed and shouldered her travel bag. "Well, no time like the present. Let's get moving!" She began to walk down the road, Yugi not too far behind her. Kaiba followed grudgingly, unwilling to leave the only guide he had for now.
'Why do I always get stuck with dweebs like this?' he lamented mentally, 'There's nothing magical about this! It's all smoke and mirrors! I would have thought as a girl who uses the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, she'd have more sense than that. I doubt she's worthy of using MY dragons in a Duel. Bah! I am the only one with the skill to wield such a mighty beast! I'll make sure she learns that before I figure out a way back to my time! First we have to stop that Master, as I'm sure he's the one who brought us here in the first place!'

"My move!" yelled the grunt, drawing a card
Yusei SC: 4 Grunt 3 SC: 4
"And since Terrorking Archfiend is on my side of the field, I lose 800 Life Points. Don't worry though, I'm going to share the love," laughed the grunt, "I activate the Trap Battle-Scarred!" The purple card flipped up, revealing an Archfiend slashing another warrior. "Now you lose 800 Points as well!"
"What?" Yusei gasped, then groaned as a wave of pain hit him.
Grunt 3 LP: 3200 Yusei LP: 3200
"That felt like real damage!" Yusei gasped as the mark of the dragon head on his arm began to glow. "Is this a Shadow Duel?"
"About time you caught on!" chuckled the grunt, "And it's about to get even more painful! I summon the Trance Archfiend in attack mode!" An ugly purple archfiend holding some weird metal bird appeared next to the Terrorking Archfiend flying alongside the grunt's Duel Runner.
Trance Archfiend: Atk 1500, Def 500, LV 4
"Now go Terrorking! Attack his Life Points directly!" The regal archfiend grabbed his sword and charged with a roar!"
"I activate my trap, Spirit Force!" Yusei yelled. The purple trap card flipped up and began glowing, creating a golden shield around Yusei's red Duel Runner. "Now I take no damage from your attack and I get to add a reinforcement from my grave to my hand! Come on back, Junk Synchron!" Terrorking Archfiend bounced off the shield rather comically and flew back in front of the grunt while Yusei grabbed the card from his grave.
"Nice job stopping that attack," the grunt conceded, "now stop this! Trance Archfiend, Attack!"
"Not this time!" Yusei said, "I activate my other Trap, Card Defense! Now by sending one card from my hand to the Graveyard, I can negate your attack!" The barrier of cards formed and blocked the purple archfiends claws from reaching Yusei.
"Oh come on!" complained the grunt.
"Now I get to draw a new card to replace it!" Yusei announced.
"Fine. I see why the Master respects your defensive abilities, but sooner or later you're going to have to attack!" snarled the grunt. "I place two cards facedown and end my turn!"
'Three facedowns!' Yusei thought, 'He must be getting ready for his big move. And with no monsters on the field, I'm going to have to draw the right card now! Here goes!'
"I draw!" Yusei yelled, hesitating to look at the new card.
Yusei SC: 5 Grunt 3 SC: 5
Yusei glanced at the card, then smiled. "Alright, I'm summoning Junk Synchron to the field!" The orange tuner monster appeared next to Yusei once again. "Now I'll use Junk Synchron's ability to bring back Shield Wing in defense mode!" The orange Warrior-type monster waved his hand and the blue lizard appeared on the field again. "Next I play my Quillbolt Hedgehog's ability. Since I have a tuner monster on the field, I'm allowed to summon it from my Graveyard!" The cute little hedgehog with bolts instead of spikes appeared on the field and curled up into Defense mode.
Quillbolt Hedgehog: Atk 800, Def 800, LV 2
"When did you?" the grunt began, perplexed.
"I sent Quillbolt Hedgehog to the grave to activate Card Defense," Yusei explained, "And now I activate the Speed Spell – Tune Up 123! Depending on what number I roll, I get to increase Junk Synchron's level!"
"Let's see what you roll then!" yelled the grunt. The dice block appeared on Yusei's screen and the dice began spinning. It finally settled on 1.
"Alright, since I rolled a one, Junk Synchron's level increases by one!" Yusei said.
"I don't think so," said the grunt, "I play the Trap, Dice Re-Roll! Now roll that dice again and hope you don't get a three or four!" Yusei growled a little as he pressed the dice roll button again and the dice began spinning again. It slowed down and stopped. Yusei smiled at the result.
"I've rolled a five," he announced, "Now Junk Synchron's level increases by three!"
Junk Synchron LV: 6
"Now I'm going to Tune Junk Synchron with my Quillbolt Hedgehog in order to Synchro Summon Stardust Dragon!" Yusei yelled. Junk Synchron pulled his cord and became six stars, each turning into a green ring which surrounded Quillbolt Hedgehog, who turned into two more stars. "Clustering wishes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Take Flight, Stardust Dragon!" The blue and white dragon appeared from the light that appeared from the rings and roared and it flew alongside Yusei.
Stardust Dragon: Atk 2500, Def 2000, LV 8
"Next I activate the Speed Spell- Silver Contrails!" Yusei said, "This gives my Stardust an extra 1000 Attack points for the turn!"
"What?!"
Stardust Dragon Atk: 3500
"Now attack with Cosmic Flare!" Yusei yelled, "Take out that Trance Archfiend!" The white blast of energy fired from Stardust Dragon engulfed the purple archfiend and completely obliterated it.
Grunt 3 LP: 1200 SC: 3
"You lucky sonuva" the grunt growled.
"I place one card facedown and end my turn," Yusei said as the card appeared next to his Runner before disappearing. Due to the difference in Speed Counters, Yusei zipped ahead of the grunt as they rounded a curve.
"You won't be ahead of me for long!" the grunt shouted, "My turn!"
Yusei SC: 6 Grunt 3 SC: 4
The grunt looked at his hand. "Now we both lose 800 Life Points thanks to my Terrorking Archfiend." Both Duelists groaned as they felt the wave of pain wash over them.
Yusei LP: 2400 Grunt 3 LP: 400
"I summon Dark Resonator in Attack mode!" the grunt said, a round fiend holding a tuning fork appearing next to him.
Dark Resonator Atk: 1300, Def 300, LV 3
'I know that card!' Yusei thought, 'It's a Tuner monster. He must be getting ready to Synchro Summon!'
"Now I'll tune Dark Resonator with my Terrorking Archfiend!" the grunt announced. Dark Resonator rang its tuning fork and dissolved into three purple rings which surrounded the Archfiend, who turned into four more stars. "Behold, as the shadows consume the light and create even darker shadows to reveal a world without light! I Synchro Summon the Scrap Archfiend!" From out of the darkness that filled the rings came a robotic Archfiend that let lose a resounding metallic roar.
Scrap Archfiend: Atk 2700, Def 1800, LV 7
"Now Scrap Archfiend, take out that glittery lizard! Scrap Iron Fist!" The Archfiend charged, fists emanating a silvery aura.
"I activate my Trap, Waboku!" Yusei yelled. "This prevents Stardust from being destroyed and I take no Battle Damage this turn!"
"You've got to be kidding!"
"Nope! Just watch." Scrap Archfiend punched Stardust Dragon, who had blocked with its arms, then the dragon flared its wings and blew the metal Archfiend back towards the grunt.
"Once again, you've escaped," the grunt said, "just how much longer do you intend to keep that up? I end my turn."
"I intend to finish this!" Yusei answered, drawing a card.
Yusei SC: 7 Grunt 3 SC: 5
"I play the Speed Spell- Overboost!" Yusei announced. Inwardly, he thought to himself 'I really owe Jack a cup of coffee since he let me borrow this card. I've been meaning to return this to him for a while, but lucky for me, I forgot.' Out loud, he continued. "This gives me four more Speed Counters for the turn!"
Yusei SC: 11
"No!" shouted the grunt, "Now he can use almost any spell!"
"I know!" Yusei said, "And I'm playing the Speed Spell – Final Attack! Now that I have eight or more Speed Counters, this doubles the attack points of my Stardust for the turn!" Stardust Dragon began to emanate a silver aura and roared, glaring at the grunt, who quavered in fear.
Stardust Dragon Atk: 5000
"Now go Stardust Dragon! Attack with Cosmic Flare!" Yusei yelled. Stardust Dragon roared and exhaled a giant stream of silvery energy that dwarfed the metallic archfiend. The blast consumed the Scrap Archfiend, scattering its holographic pieces everywhere and sending the grunt's Duel Runner out of control. The black walls of fire died and let the black Duel Runner come to a crashing stop at one of the mounds of trash scattered around Satellite. Yusei stopped his Runner smoothly, Stardust Dragon fading from sight and hurried over to the fallen grunt who lay sprawled on the sidewalk. "Are you alright?"
The grunt let out a weak chuckle. "I will be fine, but the Master will find you and crush you and the other pathetic Signers."
"Who's the Master?" Yusei asked, but there was a crunching sound from the grunt and he went limp. "What?" Yusei checked for a pulse. "Still alive, but it's slow. Must have been some sort of a drug." His Duel Runner beeped, signaling an incoming call.
"Yusei! Come in!" Crow's voice yelled.
"I'm here Crow!" Yusei answered.
"I'm in the middle of a Shadow Turbo Duel with this weird guy in a skull mask!" Crow explained hastily. "Has anyone else been attacked?"
Yusei nodded. "Yeah, I just beat the guy who attacked me. Said he works for some guy who calls himself the Master."
"Glad to know I'm not the only one battling these guys. Where should we meet once I beat this guy?"
"I'll head to your location," Yusei answered, "We'll rendezvous there. I'm going to check on the others. Be careful!"
"Relax man, after taking down two Dark Signers, I think I can handle a guy who enjoys Halloween too much!" Crow disconnected the link. Yusei sighed and looked at his arm. The Mark of the Dragon Head was still glowing, probably because Crow was still in his Duel. The pseudo-leader of the Signers began to plug in another number into his Duel Runner as he climbed back onto his red Runner.
Elsewhere, Akiza was dealing with her own attacker. Leo and Luna were Tag-Dueling two more grunts while Akiza dealt with the third. "Go, Black Rose Dragon! Finish off this fool so we can get a move on!" As the plant-like dragon unleashed purple flames that slammed the grunt against the wall, Akiza's phone rang. The black firewall that had surrounded the trio dissipated as the other two grunts were defeated.
"Yeah! We totally kicked their butts!" Leo celebrated.
"Leo, I doubt these are the best Duelists this Master has to offer," Luna admonished, then paused as she heard music playing. "Isn't that Akiza's phone?"
Akiza paused as she put her Deck back into her pocket and picked up her phone. "What's up Yusei?"
"Akiza! Watch out for some people in skull masks! They've already attacked the others, you're probably-"
"Relax, we've already beaten them. It seems someone calling himself the Master is behind all this. Any idea who he is?"
"No clue," Yusei answered, relieved to hear they were alright. "I'm heading your way now."
"We're fine Yusei, you don't have to come here."
"Someone is attacking us. There's strength in numbers and until we know what we're up against, we need to stick together. We'll meet up with Jack and Crow after that. See you guys soon." With a click, Yusei hung up.
"So what do we do now Akiza?" Leo asked, "Sit around and wait for Yusei?"
"You're not going anywhere!" the defeated grunt yelled, pressing a button on his wrist. A hissing sound came from him and Akiza smelled the first wafts of the gas the grunt has released.
"Everyone, get away!" she yelled, grabbing Leo's wrist. Leo grabbed Luna and Akiza pulled them a good thirty meters away. They were stopped when Luna fell unconscious.
"What's wrong?! Luna?!" Leo cried, beginning to panic. "What happened to my sister?!"
"She'll be fine," Akiza answered, taking a look at her, then sitting down when a wave of dizziness passed over her.
"Akiza?! Not you too!" Leo yelled. Luckily for him, Akiza's dizziness passed quickly.
"I'm fine Leo," she said, "Don't panic."
"Well what was that weird smell coming from the guy? Did he have one too many burritos?"
"It was a sedative plant called Duboisia hopwoodii, found in Australia," Akiza explained, "Luna will be fine, but judging from the concentration and her frail physical condition to begin with, she'll be out for a little bit."
"Wow," Leo said, sitting down next to his sister and laying her down in a more comfortable position. "How do you know so much about plants?" He yawned a bit, obviously feeling some of the effects of the sedative.
"I specialize in plants for both Duel Monsters and medicine," Akiza explained, allowing Leo's head to fall onto her shoulder sleepily, "Don't worry, I'll keep watch over you two as you recover from the plant's effects."
"Thanks big sis," Leo murmured before finally succumbing to the powerful sedative.
Akiza looked at the twins. 'It shouldn't be long before they get up. If my body was as small and young as theirs, I'd probably be out snoozing as well. That was an extremely high concentration just to try and take us down with them! Those men in the masks will definitely be out for the rest of the day, so we won't be getting any answers from them. But why would they try to take us out in the first place?' Akiza shook off the lingering drowsiness from the sedative and her brown eyes began to search for any sign of movement. 'I hope Yusei gets here quickly.'
The Master was in a good mood. His grunts were getting beaten soundly, but he never expected them to win. His message was being delivered. Now that the Signers knew of his presence, things were going to get fun. His smile faded a little as he thought about the first grunts who made contact with his opponents. He had expected the Crimson Dragon would bring help in the form of Yugi, but he hadn't anticipated Seto Kaiba being here as well. The Master walked into his private office, which was covered with monitors surveying what he needed to see around Satellite and he began to speak into the speaker on his desk. "Draco, I need you to get a move-on towards downtown Satellite.'
"Who's there that you need me to take out?" answered Draco Regle, also known as the Ruler of Dragons to his peers. His draconic green cloak flapped in the wind as the Master observed him riding his Runner through the streets of Satellite.
"Just a couple of unexpected guests," the Master replied nonchalantly, "It seems that Seto Kaiba has decided to join our little party and I think a little dragon war would accommodate him just nicely."
"Seto Kaiba? THE Seto Kaiba?" Draco replied, a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Are you scared, Draco?" the Master asked, "For someone who claims to rule dragons, I would think you'd love you to battle someone with four powerful dragons of his own and claim the title of Dragon Master."
"Of course!" said Draco hastily, "My apologies, Master, I just wasn't expecting to hear that Kaiba actually traveled through time to do battle with us. You mentioned the King of Games coming here, and it makes sense, since you stole his god cards, and Allana just reported in saying she was about to make contact with him, but Kaiba, wow! What an honor!"
"Then you'll accept the challenge?" the Master asked, the veiled threat obvious.
"Of course!" Draco answered, knowing that the wrong answer meant death, "Our battle will be glorious and I will show him that not even the Blue-Eyes White Dragon can stand up to my dragons!"
The Master chuckled. "Goooood, gooood, make sure you drive that little group towards our Undead Lord's ambush spot. I want to see how this new girl fares against us as well."
"It shall be done!" announced Draco and the Master disconnected the link. He glanced over at one of the many computers in his room, one of which displayed a picture of Dani.
'Dani Aoimoku,' the Master thought to himself, 'the Maiden with Blue Eyes, or so you like to call yourself. How you slipped through my network, I do not know. Such a pity you threw your lot in with Yugi. I hate to see such potential go to waste. Oh well, if there's one thing I enjoy, it's snuffing out someone who hasn't seem my light.' The Master cackled in anticipation, rubbing his hands together as watched the camera on Allana's Duel Runner round another corner and captured the image of three figures down the street.
Yugi had allowed Yami to take over again, but he walked along the Pharaoh in spirit form, acting as another set of eyes. He was wondering if the people he'd seen in his dream were nearby, also fighting these people who worked for the Master. Another part of him wondered what the Master had meant with his comment about his ninja. Now that Dani had ended up in another spat with Kaiba, he decided to bring it up with the Pharaoh.
'Why did you shush me when I asked about his ninja's headache?' Yugi said to Yami.
The ancient spirit from Egypt averted his eyes. 'It's nothing, I tried to stop his thief from stealing the god cards and since you were asleep, I had to attack through her mind.'
'And you gave her a headache?'
'You could say that.'
'I'm getting the feeling there's more than just that.'
'It's an ability I have that traps the victim within the evils of their mind. This usually helps the person see the error of their ways, but that woman's mental discipline managed to block the worst part of my attack. Had I succeeded, we probably wouldn't be here right now.'
"Traps them within their mind? You drive people insane?!'
Yami looked at Yugi. 'Temporarily, but yes. It's like your modern saying, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. I've restrained from using it on people who don't truly deserve it and haven't used it in years.'
'I don't like it,' Yugi said, 'Pain isn't the way.' Yami remained silent. Yugi was about to continue when the roar of a Duel Runner interrupted everyone. A yellow and white striped Duel Runner screeched past the group and stopped in front of them, blocking the way.
"Well this seems familiar," Dani commented. Raising her voice, she addressed the rider. "So, you work for the Master?"
The side handle on the Runner rose up and out stepped a woman in a yellow jumpsuit, a white cloak swirling about her. She took off her yellow helmet and shook out her long blonde hair. "I do indeed. How did you know?"
Dani shrugged. "The way today's been going, what with all sorts of people in Duel Runners going around and idiots in black masks challenging us to Duels, it seemed rather obvious."
"Stand aside," Yami commanded, "My quarrel is with the Master, not you."
The woman chuckled. "A quarrel with the Master is a quarrel with me. My name is Allana Hikari, the Lady of Light, and I challenge you, Yugi Muto, to a Duel!" She held up her left arm, yellow Duel Disk at the ready. She raised her right arm and a light began glowing in the palm of her hand. The Japanese symbol for light appeared in the clouds covering the sky and white flames sprang up around the group, twisting and turning in such a way that Dani recognized that it matched the symbol in the sky. "I've always wondered how you came to be such a powerful symbol of good and light in Duel Monsters lore. I am eager to see what you can do."
"Well, I'll try not to disappoint," Yami answered, placing his deck into the slot on his Duel Disk. "It's time to Duel!"
A couple miles away, Crow had finished off his opponent and narrowly avoided getting electrocuted by the grunt when Crow went to check on him. Now he stood by his Runner, wondering what to do next.
"These guys aren't messing around," he said to himself, "Yusei said he'd meet up with me here, but he's checking on the others first." A sudden light caught his attention. "Whoa, what's going on with the sky?" The once sunny morning had morphed into a gloomy cloud cover and provided the perfect background for the light symbol to appear in the sky. "The sky isn't as dark as it was when the Dark Signers made their move, but seeing signs in the sky definitely means something's up." He pressed some buttons on his Runner, calling Yusei.
"What's up Crow?" came Yusei's voice from the speakers.
"You see that symbol in the sky?"
"I do now, you aren't dueling someone, are you?"
"Nope, my arm isn't glowing. I'm thinking this has something to do with those guys we just dueled."
Yusei paused. "Then why would the symbol for light appear in the sky?"
"Dunno, but I'm gonna go find out," Crow answered, climbing into his Runner.
"Alright," Yusei said, "Once I meet up with Akiza and the twins, I'll head over to your position."
"Works for me!" Crow put his helmet on and revved the Blackbird's engines. "See you in a bit."
"See you later."
Yugi stood by the Pharaoh's side as they prepared to Duel this attractive Lady of Light. He turned to Yami and asked. "You don't think she uses Light attribute monsters, what with calling herself the Lady of Light?"
Yami grinned and thought back 'You mean it wasn't painfully obvious?'
"You never know," Yugi said sheepishly, "this Master seems like a tricky person."
'That may be, but I doubt his minions are all just like him.'
"I hope you're prepared to meet your fate," Allana said, unknowingly interrupting their conversation.
"Let's Duel!" the two said simultaneously.
Yugi LP: 4000 Allana LP: 4000
"Before you guys start," Dani interrupted, "Do you have a Field Spell in your deck?"
Allana looked confused at the question. "Yeah, most of us do. Why?"
"No big reason," Dani answered, waving a hand flippantly, "I just wanna be ready the next time a Field Spell is played." Off to the side, she muttered "I hate Shadow Duels."
"The first move is mine!" Yami said, drawing a card, "And I summon the Obnoxious Celtic Guardian in Defense mode!" A decorated elfin warrior appeared in front of him, sword in a guard position.
Obnoxious Celtic Guardian: Atk 1400, Def 1200, LV 4
"I'll end my turn with one card facedown," Yami finished, placing a card in the Magic/Trap slot on his Duel Disk.
Allana drew a card silently, brown eyes staring at Yugi, taking in every detail. "I summon Ehren, Lightsworn Monk to the field." A woman in white armor carrying a yellow battle staff appeared on the field, red kilt swirling briefly.
Ehren, Lightsworn Monk: Atk 1600, Def 1000, LV 4
"Now I'll attack your Guardian with my Monk!" Allana announced, pointing at the elf. Ehren charged and briefly dueled the Celtic Guarding before disarming him with a neat little move and bashing the elf on the head. "And since your Guardian was in Defense mode, he gets shuffled back into the Deck instead of being destroyed." The Obnoxious Celtic Guardian faded, forcing Yugi to return the card to the Deck slot. He pulled out his Deck and shuffled it before replacing it in the Deck slot.
"That's an interesting ability," Yami commented.
"Indeed," Allana agreed, "What I find fascinating is that ancient Duel Disk technology! You actually had to shuffle your Decks manually?!"
"Kaibacorp scientists are working on that feature right now," Kaiba interrupted.
"You mean a hundred and fifty years ago," Dani corrected.
"Whatever, my Duel Disks are still more than adequate to take you losers out," Kaiba seethed.
"I think not," Allana said, addressing Kaiba, "just because you have the Duel Disks doesn't mean you have the cards. You may have been a great Duelist back in your time, but now we have some new rules, new cards, and new abilities that'll prove you're obsolete! I end my turn, which means I send the top three cards from my Deck to the Graveyard, thanks to Ehren's special ability."
"What?!" Yami exclaimed.
"She's running a Lightsworn Deck!" Dani explained, "Most of their powers involve sending cards from the Deck to the Grave, and some special abilities are activated when that happens."
"You're right," Allana said, as her Duel Disk spat out a card she had sent to the Graveyard, "And one of them just activated. I summon Wulf, Lightsworn Beast from my Graveyard in Attack mode!" A white-furred wolf-man appeared next to Ehren, holding a golden axe and wielding a wicked set of gold claws.
Wuld, Lightsworn Beast: Atk 2100, Def 300
"Yugi, you are the King of Games and generally regarded as a beacon of light and hope from your era," Allana said, "But you oppose the Master, who will usher in a new age of paradise, and I cannot let you stop him!"
Yami studied her for a moment. "You have been blinded by the Master's promises. I doubt he will actually fulfill his promise, even if I were to fall in this Duel. His greed and lust for power will only be his downfall, and if you intend to go down with him, then so be it! My turn!"
Alrighty, a new chapter has been posted, right on my planned schedule. I'm not going to be that guy who demands a certain number of reviews before posting a new chapter, but I would love to see more reviews. Trust me, your input helps.
So, long story short, the plot thickens. Team 5D's is about to meet Team Yugi in the next chapter, don't worry. The Master is making his move, and yes, he is responsible for the Dark Signer-like Duels. I was really inspired by that arc, so there will be some similarities. However, the marks of the Master won't be located on their arms, that's just too cliché, and there's no King of Hell to worry about. Let me know what youse guys think! Thanks for all your support!
