Light and Dark World Chapter 4

When I awoke, all was dark, I couldn't see a damn thing! I couldn't feel anything either… like I was suspended in the air, where was I? There seemed to be no floor, no walls, no ceiling… no illumination of any kind…

I drifted in this blackness for a few minutes before an area around me started to form. It happened in a flash, A long hall formed lined will columns a red carpet and a great manner of decor for royalty. Sounds amazing yeah? Wrong, despite the description I just gave, there was more to this place.

The columns were damaged, the hall had gashes all over it as if someone of something went berserk in it, the Red carpet was in tatters, finally, the decor was shattered and ruined.

"What the hell is this place?" I walked down the ruined hall and stopped at a particularly ruined section of the hall, a wall was almost cleaved open! "...and the hell happened here?"

After staring at the surrounding area for a moment, I noticed a throne with someone in it further down the hall, curious, I proceeded down the hall to see who it was.

When I arrived at the throne, I saw that whoever was in the throne was enshrouded by darkness, hiding his visage from all who observed him. As I was observing the shadowy figure, he spoke in a voice that resonated throughout the hall.

"Seeker of power unrivaled, speak thy name and receive judgement. The worthy will obtain the power of the King, and the unworthy will know the wrath of the Kingdom." well THAT caught me off guard, seeker of power unrivaled? I didn't know where I was, and I most certainly didn't seek any power here.

"Uh… I don't-" I was about to speak when a deep voice spoke behind me. "Gr#7h , Dragoon of Dark World." A distorted voice? THAT got my attention, I spun around to see a Dark Worlder in dark gray armor, he was holding what looked like a scythe with three blades that resembled a dragon claw.

The shadowy king rose and walked over to the Knight, as he did so, he drew his large blade. "Gr#7h , you seek power without a rival, we will see what judgement is brought upon you." The King rose his blade above him. "Worthy or Unworthy, Power or wrath." to my horror, he brought his blade down upon the knight's head, when the blade connected with the knights helm, an explosion of power erupted at the impact.

The power created a light that blinded me, the light vanished and darkness consumed the hall. With my sight still hindered, I could only see the silhouette of the transformed knight. A large, looming, monstrous shape, his eyes a blazing red. The last thing I remember before all went black once more was a twisted dragon's roar and a cry of agony from the King.

I jolted up, I was in my bed at home, it was all a dream? I looked out the window, it was completely dark, the sky wasn't lit up yet meaning it was the middle of the night. I fell back down onto my bed, trying to make sense of what just happened.

I couldn't make out that name of that Dragoon… All I know it started with a G and an R… wait it Grehy? Grahn? It's impossible to tell… As these thoughts went through my head, I looked at my Bedside table where the Duel Disk I took from that Obelisk Force member.

I begrudgingly sat up again and turned on the Duel Disk, I might as well customize whatever settings this had, which I only knew of since it's previous owner decided to store it's Instruction Manual in a small compartment I opened by chance.

I sat there for probably 30 minutes changing some settings, now, the disk's card platform looked like a demonic wing instead of a sword and had a blue outline instead of a purple one, it looked rather nice actually.

I turned the Disk off a went back to sleep, thankfully, I didn't dream again and I slept until just before the sky started to glow. I did not do this by choice, I had Renge to thank for this by knocking on my door so hard it almost got knocked off its hinges.

"BLEAU! WAKE UP! THE TOURNAMENT IS TODAY!" boomed Renge, nearly giving me a heart attack while also waking me up. I sprinted to my door and yanked it open. "Alright already! Next time ya wake me up try not to give me a heart attack!" I yelled, I wasn't the nicest person if you woke me up before I wanted to.

"ALRIGHT, SORRY, BUT YOU DO NEED TO GET A MOVE ON, EVERYONE IS ALREADY GATHERING AT THE COLISEUM." boomed renge once more, pointing at the giant structure known by many as the Savage Coliseum. "Right… thanks for letting me know, and sorry I yelled, I'll see ya there!" I ran back inside and swiftly got dressed, scarfed down some food, grabbed my Duel Disk, and ran faster than a Sonic Bird to the Coliseum.

I was stopped at the entrance by Dark Blade, who was holding a clipboard, which almost made me laugh. "Name?" asked Dark Blade without looking at me. "Bleau, Assassin of Dark World."

I replied. He glanced at me, then at my Duel Disk. "Take a right before the end of the entrance corridor, then go to the last room on the right." said Dark Blade and gestured to the entrance.

I followed his instructions and found the room where I would wait until I was called for any reason. The room was surprisingly nice for where it was located. An absolutely beautiful bed, a wonderfully done table with a basket filled with an assortment of fruit, real fruit, and a bunch of furniture.

I hadn't been in the room for very long when I heard a knock at my door. I opened the door and was delighted to see a familiar face, it was Scarr!

While me and Zure were some of the most humanoid Dark Worlders, Scarr was by NO means Humanoid, he walked on four legs, where the forelegs acted as arms and hands at times. His entire back half was a Scarlet red aside from two small spikes on his shoulder blades and a slender metal-looking tail. His stomach/front half was the standard pale purple. His face was kind of apeish with a row of large teeth on the side of his face.

"Scarr, It's been a long time! I believe the last time I saw you was before you went to work for Brron last year?" I said, overjoyed at seeing my old friend.

We had met at Zure's training and became fast friends, and, as a bonus, both of our preferred battle tactics complemented each other nicely.

"It is nice to see you as well, Bleau." Said Scarr in a deeper voice than you would think he would have. "While I would love to catch up, I am very busy, Brron has made a donation to everyone who are in this tournament. For you, he sent this." Scarr held out a small box to me.

I took the box and opened it, I was caught off guard when I saw three cards, all three being Brron, Mad King of Dark World. Scarr must have seen the look on my face as he answered my question before I can even think it. "I am unsure how, but Brron knew you had acquired a Duel Disk and gave you the cards he used before the rise of the Supreme King."

I looked at Scarr, dumbfounded. How the hell did Brron even know? The Duel Disk looked nothing like the one Brro was said to have, nor the Supreme King's Disk, and I know nobody was around when I was explaining it to Renge…

I didn't have long to dwell upon it, Scarr had one last thing to tell me. "Be ready, everyone who will partake in the tournament must gather in the Arena soon, the crest on the door will illuminate when you're needed." With that, Scarr left, and I was alone with the Box containing impossibly old cards that by no right should even still be in one piece because of their age.

After a few minutes, I decided to make adjustments to my deck and add Brrons cards. I had to remove a few fillers like Fiend Sword and Mad Dog of Darkness, not that i'm complaining. Afterward, I decided to look through my deck some more to ensure I was ready, but at one point I shifted positions and knocked the box off my bed where I was sitting.

When I went to pick it up, I noticed a panel hidden on the bottom of the lid was jarred loose, In fact, there was a card on the panel. I picked it up and examined it, but when I looked at it I saw it had no name and was blank! This was useless, maybe it was hidden in the box and then forgotten.

I was about to throw it away when I saw something else in the box, a note. I opened it and nearly got a migraine at the horrendous handwriting. After a short amount of time, I managed to decipher it.

To Bleau, Assassin of Dark World

If you found this card and note, then you were meant to. The card is blank now but it wasn't always that way, if you are what I hope you to be, then you will renew the power that resides within' this card. Put it in your extra deck, there should be another card in here that should let you know what kind of card it is.

I should have expected the next line, but it still caught me off guard.

From Brron, Mad King of Dark World

That confirms one thing Brron is aware that he's aware that he's more crazy than a hatter who used too much of that chemical that's used in the hat making process. But how did he know I got this Disk? Question for when I get the chance to get some answers from Brron himself.

I slotted the Blank Card in the Extra Deck and searched the lid some more, and found a Magic Card. Dark Fusion. It looked different than how the history books described, It depicted a Pitch black vortex sucking in two demonic looking creatures with the sky consumed in a hellish storm.

Brron gave me a fusion monster? I Didn't have long to think, I could tell that the introduction ceremony would be starting soon, so I replaced a Remove Trap magic card and put Dark Fusion in its place, not that it would make a difference until I could wake the monster up and return it to the card…

I noticed a glow to the side and looked to see what it was, The crest of Brron, a Splitting skull, was shining on the door, It was time to go the the assembly. "Alright, some strange things just happened, but if all goes well they might work to my advantage." I said to myself as I gripped the door handle. "But it's time to see what the host has to say, and who I have to crush to impress Grapha!" I said opening the door, marching down the corridor, I was ready to get this started!

Here it is! The Dark World tournament has begun, and Bleau has obtained a few new cards! And Two of them are quite different. A Dark Fusion with new art and a dormant Fusion Monster... not only that, but both were sent by Brron! how did he know Bleau had a Duel Disk anyways? I guess we'll just have to see when the time comes!
