Chapter 10: confrontation with the king!

As the lights, from what I could tell was from a helicopter, enveloped the house, a black figure made a hand gesture towards the door, and a crowd of other silhouettes came rushing towards the door.

Riken: "we've got to get out of here. Geves! Get them out the back door. I'll catch up later." at this time Justin had thrown Geves off to the side to say something to riken… "No time Justin! Just go…" still fighting, Justin tries getting lose, to get Andrew to reach his arm around justins chest as if to choke him.

Andrew: "I'm sure he knows what he's doing. C'mon quit fighting or I'll drag you out of here" that's just what he had to do. Justin fought the whole way, and surely he had thoughts of fighting Andrew off, just to get himself thrown in front of the frantic group…

Geves smashing through the backside of the garage in a dramatic style only a butler could pull off, "the master wants all of you to take his d-bike" an obviously un-experienced duelist-type-answer…

Craig: "thanks man, take good care of Riken don't let those goons capture him you hear? To get a nod of approval from the short squared off looking butler.

Tacking out the speedometer on the d-wheel, we fly down past the gate which was marvelously crafted and coated with gold in somewhat of a grapevine design. The base of which was in this sort of marble slabs that lay with the golden bent pipes imbedded into. Looking back we see some of the grunts of this mysterious organization giving up an on foot chase behind us. It was a wonder that all of us got away so easily. Winding down the curvy, mis-cared for road, hitting every pothole the unpaved road could throw at us, we finally take into concept of the, yet again, un-balanced groups we had broken off into.

Bryan: "um guys I think these guys are the serious types. Whatever they want they wouldn't give up the chase this easy. I think we had better check up on Austin. They may want to use him as a bartering tool. But in any case, first we have to get to safety first. Who knows they might still be unaware of Austin's location."

Andrew: "but we can't just leave him. I mean yes they might have a hard time taking him out of their, but still, with them I wouldn't put it past them to lie and say that they already have us. And I know he would blindly go with them. He cares about his friends. I know he would go without a fight. that's what I'm worried about."

Justin: "Andrew's right. We can't take the chance that they don't know where he is."

Craig: "but if you guys go back for him you may be leading them right to him… I have to agree with what Bryan said. Even if they do know where he is, we can get him back. I believe we could rescue him if need be."

Bryan: "yeah, Andrew alone would break us in and halfway into their base no problems, well if his friends were in danger…" Andrew looking over at Justin, with squinting eyes.

Justin: (sighing)

Craig: "by the way, what happened to you back at our first safe house?"

Justin: "oh, well I kind of cant get rid of my Yami. I tried, as you know, but even if I would try to destroy shadow flare, sadly, I would still never be able to get rid of my Yami. Plus the card would always return. The best I can do is suppress him, and lets look on the bright side," obviously not talking about our current situation. "it takes a lot out of him just to make any sort of appearance. Or if a very strong power is about him. Namely that guy we had the chat with earlier." at this Bryan lowered his head as if to sigh…

Bryan: "I'm not much for the whole spirit thing, but if their after you, then that must mean you have something important to them. Just what did you do to get on their bad side Justin?" accusation spreading across his face, Bryan's focus scans around the other three.

Justin: "you don't have to believe anything you don't want to but you saw him take over… well anyways, he had said he wasn't after just me. I wonder who else he's after…" Justin and Craig both direct their attention to Andrew.

Andrew: "we do know one thing about this mystery man, he's afraid to show us his real face. Which reminds me, has anyone tried to get a hold of Riken via telesiol?" moving to push the button to open a link with Riken (always with the gadgets, has plenty of ear pieces.) just as Andrew was about to push the button

Riken: "guys…." silence falling over the speakers. "don't try and contact me they…" interrupting Riken's warning the same voice that came from the silhouette came through to our ears.

???: "well friends, if your listening out there, I'm sure that you all are really worried about your dear friend here… you were oh so rude to me last time. I don't think I would be able to guarantee his safety if you tried something rash. So how's about we make a deal. That is if you're listening. Well since you are really good at following orders, thanks to your big mouthed friend. If you want to see him again, you must take on the king you love so much." we could almost guarantee that netsu yagato would be the door man.

Acting rash, Justin makes a move towards the telesiol microphone, just to get Craig to stop him (though it was barely enough)

???: "and if you win, you get your friend back. But if I should win, I get to keep one more of you guys and increase the next wager. So how's about it. If so then meet the ole benevolent king at the trucking garage in Charleston at 7:00 clock. Tah tah…" the call ends at the expense of everyone's resolve… Justin started yelling about how much Riken has done for us, while Bryan tries to keep everyone's heads about them. Craig, not being the one to get in between them (doesn't know Bryan that much) tries his hardest to stay out of the way, as I end the scenario by telling them both that their arguing isn't going to change anything at the moment.

Craig: "it looks like our group has been getting smaller all the time… isn't the right thing to do right now just to watch each other's backs?" he was right, the group went from six people (me, Justin, Craig, Bryan, Riken, Austin) down to just four.

Bryan: "well in any case, I owe him for rescuing all of you. So, what's the plan?" looking around the room for someone to say something in response.

Silence… the clock reads 2:30

For about 2 hours nobody even coughed. Not a whisper.

4:17 Bryan coughs, as if to trigger any sort of recognizable word to appear from the group… but to no avail.

As the tick tock grows louder and the silence grows vast, for the first time in what seems forever, the sorrowful lack of sound is broken.

Andrew: "guys, I'm sick and tired of doing nothing about our pitiful situation. I'm going to be the one he'll duel first. Plus if I lose you guys always have Justin to turn to."

Justin: "you say it as though I'm totally defenseless." Justin places his hand on his forehead, bangs falling over his eyebrows. Sitting behind Craig on his d-wheel. Shimmering black with a tint of grey specks barely visible through the seemingly dismal sunlight.

Bryan: "well, I thought that he meant that hope isn't lost since you still have your Yami and that shadow flare card." getting Andrew to give a nod of approval.

Justin: "well who ever said that it was going to be you that saves our new friend? Huh?" suspicion setting in. an obvious look of disapproval aimed at Andrew.

Craig: "I think he has already weighed the odds of us getting out of this one. I mean we never ran into anyone as mysterious as this guy. I believe he'll win. Well I hope so."

Both d-wheels now heading down the highway. The clock on the d-wheels read 5:30 and 10:30. 10:30 being that Craig has forgot to set his clock with our united states time zone. On the way their, nothing noticeable happened, except for Bryan almost running over a squirrel. Andrew flying over the d-wheel and landing head first into the side car. As we pull into the scarily, empty, parking lot, we pull into the side of the place. The main configuration of the resting area for the trucks as the unload, having three steel doors about the right height for the back of a truck. Yellow tape surrounding each. Except for the middle one. Surprisingly enough our shofur (pronounced show-fur) standing on the edge of the platform.

Craig: "so I guess its true what they say. Villains are always on time." the clock on his d-wheel reading 11:50.

Netsu yagato: "well! And I thought none of you would show."

Andrew: "clam it! Lets just get this over with…" having already jumped off the d-wheel and closing in on Netsu. Duel disc activating as he did so.

Netsu: "well congrats Mr. Eager you've brought your friends strait to their demise. Get them!" as Andrew looks back, fear for the others safety, Bryan, flailing like a wild man, doing some irrational spinning maneuver, takes out all of the goons. "wow nice form. But anyhow, my master is thankful that all of you are strong in spirit. He wouldn't like it any other way."

(panting) Bryan: "well I'll make sure it aint going to be easy for you." getting Netsu to smirk. And Andrew to remain walking towards Netsu.

Andrew: "now unless you have any more unscheduled interruptions left, I would recommend we get this over with before we decide to take you out by old fashion means. I'm sure your so called "master" would be so overjoyed at that. But enough talk lets duel" both picking up their duel discs. Andrew's already active takes the first move. "Draw! I activate the spell card double summon. I summon both Dark Blade and Pitch Dark Dragon in attack mode. Next I equip pitch dark to Dark Blade and set two face down cards and end turn." the cards taking shape on the field. The representation of the mystery face downs being shown as well.

Netsu: "ergh… fine I activate lightning vortex. By discarding one card from my hand to the graveyard I get to destroy all of your face up monsters. There goes your star card."

Andrew: "I activate my body as a shield. By paying 1500 life points I get to keep my monsters. Remember this you freak. Ill protect my friends. Even at the expense of my own life." lighting vortex shattering into a thousand little pieces.

Netsu: "ugh. Fine I set one face down monster and end turn."

Andrew: 2500 , Netsu: 4000

Andrew: "Draw! Your finished. I activate the spell card allure of darkness, and chain with imperial iron wall. Now I draw two, and I reveal a dark monster in my hand and remove it from play. But with imperial on the field. I wont have to remove any monster from play as a after effect. Draw!! I reveal kiryu and activate the spell card, hand destruction. I discard two cards from my hand to draw two cards. But you will also have to discard. I discard Kiryu and dark hex sealed fusion…" Netsu discards soul exchange and pot of avarice. "now I activate monster reborn to bring back Kiryu." monster reborn appearing on the field and flipping up to show the picture, which starts shining. Kiryu now rising to the field. "your finished!! I attack with dark blade to your face down." revealing giant germ and inflicting 2100 damage to Netsu (1900). Andrew taking 500 and two more giant germs appearing on the field in attack mode (2/1000atk/100def/dark (inflict damage by 500 when destroyed and summon two more)/ fiend). " now kiryu attack the one on the left!" dealing another 1000 points of damage to Netsu and another 500 to Andrew.

Andrew: 1500 , Netsu: 900

Andrew: "now to finish this! I activate the quick play spell, combination attack. By un-equipping pitch dark I can attack with them both once more. Go! Dark Blade attack his last one!" dealing 800 to Netsu (100) and inflicting 500 more to Andrew (1000) giant germ leaving the field. Clear for a direct attack. "go! Pitch Dark Dragon, finish him with dark force flame!" pitch dark charging up a dark blue flame in its mouth. Which grows intense ready to be fired. "Now!" the release of the energy making kiryu take flight. Dark blade flinging his scarlet cape to shield from the flames.

Netsu: "Huhehahahaha…. Now prepare for a battle you've never seen before!"

Bryan: "what the hell! His life point counter didn't drop to zero! What gives?!"
