"Now what are we going to do king? Did you foresee this in your grand plan?"

"resistance only lengthens their torture. Huhehahahaha. Foolish they are. Whilst they try to defend Justin, I am guaranteed my shot at what I'm truly after. "

"yes, my king! I shall follow you till glory or death. Whichever comes first"

Chapter 8: trickery part one

As we rode off on the, well safe to say, big, and I'm talking big, d-wheel, Bryan starts stirring about.

Justin: "you ok"

Bryan: "don't make such a fuss over me! I'm fine." as we expected he was mad that we had even been caught. "what made you think they had the right to capture you even though their card was gone? didn't they check any of you?" to get us to shake our heads. "Andrew I'm especially surprised you even went through with that. You know it was a trap. They didn't check any of you. And you thought that it was ok for them to hold you in a cell?" before I could answer…

Riken: "we've got company!" as we look back we see two dark red d-wheels gaining momentous speed! "guess they were ready for our escape. Well looks like we either all get caught or someone sacrefices themse…"

"I'll go. Its me that they want." Justin gets up and starts to jump off…

"that won't be necessary" startled by the vaguely familiar voice Justin almost falls off clambering back on from the back wheel. As they gain momentum a black d-wheel cuts an ally-way and circles around to our right.

Justin: "I'm glad to see you old friend."

"you know him? Well don't keep us in such suspense. Especially since were being chased." at this the racer takes off his black helmet whipping his head out and a distinct necklace with a star embedded in a circle.

Craig: "I'm appalled you couldn't recognize me. (sighing) well I was just taking a crews and…"

"after them" one of the thugs had already caught up with us. Only around 10-20 feet behind Craig. "hehehe. This is gonna be fun!"

Craig: "oh it will be fun all right. You guys get out of here. I'll take care of these two thugs."

Thug: "glad you feel up to a party." a thin, almost bulimic looking guy with a 5-0 clock shadow. (Unshaved look). "hey linge after the other twerps" to get the heavier, a lot taller, thug to start speeding up.

Linge: "no problem Ged. Will be my honor."

Craig: "No the both of you will be fighting me instead! You guys go ahead!" to get a nod from Riken as we race off.

Ged: "Ha! You cant take the both of us at the same time. Give it up!"

Craig: "we wont know till we try!"

All three at the same time: "duel" , "duel" , "duel"

Craig: "since I'm outnumbered ill go first. Ha this is already over. I'm terribly sorry I have to do this, but its for my friends! Draw! I activate pot of greed." draws two greedy goblin spell cards. " next I activate graceful charity and Draw!" drawing exchange of the spirit and magical stone excavation. " I discard two greedy goblin cards. Allowing me two draw two more." drawing into a third greedy goblin. And a spell cycle spell card. "next I activate magical stone excavation and chaining that to my spell cycle card. Allowing me to add 2 spells into my hand if I was to discard any cards to the grave and use them instead. I get back the two greedy goblins. And since they will be discarded anyway I get to draw one for each. I get back graceful charity again."

Linge: "oh no he's going for Exodia! We have to stop him before he collects all the pieces!"

Craig: "wrong again. Just watch. Since I got to draw two more cards I have to discard two cards but then I chain with my second spell cycle that was in my hand letting me get to use one of the greedy goblin spells and the one I drew earlier. Letting me draw two more! I set one 5 cards facedown and end turn." the five being reckless greed, exchange of the spirit, and 2 self sacrifice trap cards

Ged: "fine I draw!"

Craig: "no you don't I activate exchange of the spirit, two self sacrefices. And chain those with two of my reckless greed cards."

Linge: "but you don't have 15 cards yet. By my calculation you only have 9."

Craig: "but by the end of my chain I will have and you wont be able to draw meaning I shall win. Let me show you. I draw 4 cards thanks to my reckless greed. Then I discard all my cards and draw the same amount. Then I repeat that one more time. Then I exchange my deck with my grave. Putting 21 cards into my deck and nothing into yours." with this their d-wheels shot out a plum of smoke causing each to wreck, hence the high speed.

Meanwhile, as we continued to speed off in a safe direction, Riken got an alert to turn on his streaming video over his helmet sight.

Riken: "guys listen to this." pushing a button on his custom d-wheel. To get a hologram to cover our entire bike making it as if we were right there. Getting a three hundred and sixty degree view.

"thanks to our brave king, we had captured the culprits who had stolen the card." throwing his arm back in a showing manner, there was a group of teenagers held tight by a bundle of rope tied to where they couldn't get away. Them sitting there backs toward one another. "and to thank our king, I give unto him the card he rescued. Almighty the wicked god."

Riken: "that's despicable. I wont allow for such trickery!"

Bryan: "you do realize that they are doing that to get to us. And if we were to go back to them, then we would be walking right into their hands." to get all of us to agree.

Justin: "but what about those kids? We cant just leave them." at this time we hear a humming sound getting closer from behind us. "you made it!!"

Craig: "what'd you expect? I overheard what you had said. That guy there gave me an invite to listen in on the scenario. Ya know that could have been a mistake there guy. What if I was a bad guy?"

Riken: "then I would have taken you out. By the way the names not "guy" its Riken!"

"don't take what Riken says to heart Craig. Its his way of getting to know you" as I had said this, I got a mean look from Riken. "well, moving on…(nervous smile)…if we don't save those kids, then they will still get away with what they've done, and who's to say they wont do something drastic."

Craig: "we have no option. We have to save them."

Bryan: "contrary to that, Craig I believe is your name, we have to do nothing at all or fear of them getting you guys back."

Austin: "then we have to watch what they do from now on. And watch ourselves more closely. Since my family can afford it, I can hook everyone up with a house to crash. Just be sure its ok with you all's parents. By the way Craig what where you doing in the US? I thought you lived in England."

Craig: "just jumped at the chance to make my own cards." to get a replying smile and nod from Austin. "same here."

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Later that day, still mad at the choice we all had to make, Craig gets a reply from Riken since Riken is the one keeping watch racing up and down the windy roads.

Riken: "looks like they have a lot more knowledge and technology than I figured."

Craig: "what do you mean!"

Riken: "they tagged someone with a tracker. Guys there's either a spy there with you. Or someone was careless!"
