Hello & welcome to another episode of "NGE: Enter the Orichalcos"! For starters, I apologize for the long wait, but due to technical difficulities, plus the fact that I've been working on "Carlito's Way" on Youtube, and that my brother was recently a victim of identity theft.....plus, I've been playing too much Sonic & The Secret Rings, Godzilla Unleashed,& Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on the Nintendo Wii, and then there's the Writer's Block....

Plus, I couldn't download the original Epi. 8 because the computer I wrote the episodes on can't access the internet, so now I have to re-do all of the other episodes I've already written, but I think I might change them around a bit, so stay tuned.

Oh, and for the people who have read "Fantasy Fight Night 2....", that story also is going through the same problems, so it might be a while with that as well.

Finally, by the time I finish with this episode, I will be ending the pole on Jaden vs. Yugi on my page, so for those who have voted, thank you. Otherwise, here's what happened last episode......

"Angered by what has happened to Shinji in his duel against Neos, Big challenges Neos to a duel and barely survives. However, he is unaware that somewhere in his own world, a mysterious cloaked man has disturbed the tomb of the late Pharaoh, Atem, and has stolen the 3 Egyptian God Cards......."

Enjoy the episode......

Episode 8: The Cloaked Man & the 3 God Cards

Domino City, Japan....2008.....

A strange green glow mysteriously appear & soon disappeared, as many bodies fell to the ground one *thud* at a time. The cloaked man, armed with a Chaos Duel Disk smirked, and said "Now Big, come and die." Little did HE know, though.......

........but somewhere in an unknown bunker in the woods of Tokyo, there was a sudden explosion, as a strange shape appeared from it. This strange shape, with it's green & orange eyes, soon smiled, as it said "I have finally awaken, and now the time has come for revenge." The figure soon turned into a shadow and disappeared, appreantly headed for Domino City.

Tokyo 3, Japan....2015....

Shinji was at the apartment, appreantly reading a book called "Duel Monsters for Dummies", when Asuka appeared and asked "Baka, where's the freak at?" Shinji turned towards Asuka and replied "He went home to get some supplies for us." Asuka soon just shrugged her shoulders and walked over to the couch, as Shinji continued to read his book, until he got to the next page, as it started a special chapter called "The Most Dangerous Cards of All Time" Shinji blinked his eyes for a few seconds before looking at the list it mentioned.......

1. Egyptian God Cards-Last Holder: Yugi Muto; Currently-N/A

2. Sacred Beast Cards-N/A

3. Yubel-Last Holder: Carlos M.......

Shinji soon stopped, as he had to re-read that 3rd line. Then, he asked himself "Wait...Carlos M.? Isn't that Big's step-father?"

And speaking of which.......

Somewhere in the skies of Japan, Big flew around in the dimension he felt extremely comfortable in, his Duel Disk still attached to his left wrist. The Dimensional Transporter had worked, and now, he was home, and he was feeling great. However, a strange cloud of burning smoke got his attention, as he landed near there and noticed it was the bunker previously mentioned earlier. "Huh, what happened here?" he asked himself, as a female voice replied "I thought you would have already known, brother." Big raised an eyebrow, as a giant bird covered in pink features and wearing green cargo pants and a white shirt appeared. "Long time no see, Little. What have you been up to since we last saw each other?" Big asked, as Little replied "Well, you know me, Big. I just like to travel where-ever the road takes me. BTW, I heard you've been visiting another dimension. That true?" Big sighed and replied "It's a long story, but getting back to the plot here......What happened here?" Little shrugged as a response, but Big soon realized something "Wait a minute......this old bunker is MAA property, and I remember Carlos once told me he hid something here, but if it's what I think it is, then we may be in bigger trouble then before." Little blinked before Big started taking off. "Well, this will be fun." she says before taking off after him.

Tokyo 3.........

As this was going on, Ritsuko was called into the office of Commander Ikari. "You wanted to see me, Commander?" she asked, as Gendo replied "I did. Dr. Akagi, I have a new secret project I would like to commence, and I need you to complete it by the end of the week." Ritsuko seemed perplexed, but asked "And, what exactly, is this project, Commander?" as Gendo replied "You recall the freak that seems to be protective of the 3rd Child, correct?" Ritsuko nods, as Gendo then adds "This project requires his DNA. I wish to create the ultimate being capable of starting 3rd Impact." Ritsuko, shocked, asks "What? Why Big? Clearly he has nothing to do with NERV or 3rd Impact, so what do we need him for?" Gendo suddenly gives an evil smirk, as he replies "You fail to see my plan clearly, so I will explain it to you slowly....." He soon began to do so.......

As back in Domino City (2008), Big & Little flew over the mentioned city and found unconscious bodies simply laying around. "What the hell....?" Big asked himself as he flew overhead. If this was what he thought it was, then that meant the Orichalcos had struck somewhere it never should have appeared. "So, what do you think did this?" Little asked, as Big replied "The Orichalcos!" Soon enough, though, a mysterious laugh was heard, sounding something like this........

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA........

Big & Little looked around for a second, before they noticed a lone cloaked man with the Chaos Duel Disk on the street, walking towards their position. "I've been waiting for you, Big. It's time to give your soul to the Orichalcos!" The 2 looked down towards the man, as Big smirked. "Is that so?" Big asked, as he lands in front of him. Little, complexed however, asked "Hey Bro, does this guy have something to with this 'Orichalcos' you mentioned before?" Big replied "Yea, it does", as he activated his duel disk to prepare for battle. "I've been waiting for this duel for some time." The Cloaked Man said, as Big soon said "So Have I" as their duel began!

(Big: 4000) vs. (Cloaked Man: 4000)

Big announced "I'll start" as he drew a card & looked at his hand (E-Hero Clayman, Negate Attack, Skyscraper, Polymerization, Wroughtweiler, & E-Hero Bladedge). "I'll summon E-Hero Clayman in DEF mode" he announced, as Clayman appeared in front of Big & kneed down in a defensive position (4-star/2000 DEF). "Then, I'll place 1 card face down & end my turn." Big added, as a face down card signaled the end of his turn. The cloaked man chuckled as he drew a card and said "Is that it?" Big nods as the cloaked man looks at the 6 cards in his hand and smiles (Soldier Soul, Graceful Charity, D-Hero Diamond Dude, Clock Tower Prison, & Eternal Dread x2). Then, he announces "First, I activate the field card, Clock Tower Prison!" At this time, the entire field proceeds to change, as Big & the Cloaked man find themselves surrounded by a strange building with a clock tower behind the cloaked man. "What the hell is this?" Big asks, as the Cloaked man replies "This is the Clock Tower Prison field, and once it gains 4 counters, I'll be able to summon an extremely powerful beast. However, next I summon D-Hero Diamond Dude in ATK mode." With that, a strange being in a costume & cape appears before him with large crystals on his shoulders (4-star/ 1400 ATK). Big, at first, seemed confused, but suddenly realized who he was. "Wait a minute......it was you......"

Flashback to Epi.3...........

.......Big's eyes turned blue and he turned to his right to see another cloaked being, a man this time, appear before him, although Big could tell it wasn't the one who got his friend. "Who are you?" Big asked him, as the cloaked man replied "You will find out soon enough, but for now, know this! Even those born without darkness can still be tempted into darkness itself, and when the time comes, your true evil 'self will come forth!" Big snorted before saying "I don't think so, bub, but maybe you can answer a question for me. What exactly are you bastards planning with this '3rd Imact' & with the Orichalcos?" the cloaked man replied "When we next meet, I will explain everything, but by then, I will reveal your evil side as we duel!" as he turned to leave. Big only seemed confused as the cloaked man soon said "By then, we'll see which hero is stronger!" as he entered a dark hallway & disappeared. Big only asked himself "I wonder what he meant by that..." as his eyes turned back to normal.....

(End of Flashback)

"You" he suddenly said, and added "You're that other Hero duelist, aren't you? You're the one Neos is looking for." The Cloaked Man suddenly snickered and said "Well, so you figured it out, didn't you? It's a shame Neos will never find me. You, however, have bigger things to worry about. Next, Diamond Dude's effect activates. I can look at the top card in my deck." He did, and chuckled to himself (Pot of Greed). Then, he suddenly sent it to the graveyard, as he said "Since it was a magic card, I have to send it to the graveyard. I can activate it when my next turn starts. Next, I activate the Graceful Charity magic card. With it, I can draw 3 cards." With this, the Cloaked Man drew 3 cards (D-Hero Doom Lord, Trap Jammer, & Mystical Space Typhoon), but then said "However, I must then discard 2 cards from my hand to the graveyard" as he sends two cards in his hand (D-Hero Doom Lord & Trap Jammer) into the graveyard. Big still seemed confused to his game plan, as the Cloaked Man soon said "Now, I'll end my turn by placing 3 cards face down." At this point in time, 3 face down cards appeared in front of the Cloaked Man, as Big took his turn.

"My Move!" Big said, as he drew a card (Pot of Greed), but the Cloaked Man suddenly said "Now, I activate the Eternal Dred trap cards!" With this, 2 of the Cloaked Man's face down cards reveal themselves, as Big saw the hands of the Clock Tower ticking past the 3, the 6 & the 9, until it hit 12 and started "gonging". The Cloaked Man soon said "This trap card places 2 counters on my Clock Tower Prison, but when 2 of the same type of card are activated, it can place 4 instead. And now, with this, I can activate my Mystical Space Typhoon magic card." Now, the Cloaked Man's final face down card revealed itself, as the typhoon started circling the battlefield and the field itself starred to crumble. "This card can destroy 1 magic or trap on the field, and I choose the Clock Tower Prison itself." As this happened, the field soon returned to normal, but a strange black hole now appeared in it's place. "And now, since Clock Tower Prison was destroyed with 4 counters, I can finally special summon D-Hero Dreadmaster directly from my deck to the field." Suddenly, a large figure appeared from the hole. It was a giant, brown, hulking figure with chains around his fists and black pants, as well as a black mask to cover it's face (8-star/ ? ATK). Finally, he added "And now, my Dreadmaster has the ability to resurrect up to 2 D-Heroes in my graveyard when summoned, so I choose my D-Hero Doom Lord." Finally, now another creature appeared. This one seemed to be some sort of demon with large black claws (3-star/ 600 ATK). By now, Big seemed a bit upset, as he asked "So, you're telling me I've been forced to listen to this crap the whole time it was my turn, right?" as the Cloaked Man replies "Yes, you had to because you will soon be defeated." Then, Big asks "So then, what the hell was the point in summoning your Dreadmaster if he has no ATK points at all?" The Cloaked Man replies "Oh, that is very simple to explain. You see, the D-Heroes on my field give him their ATK & DEF points and add them up to empower him."

1400 + 600= 2000 ATK

1600 + 800= 2400 DEF

"O...kay then." Big says, as the Cloaked Man soon says "Now, go on with your turn." as Big mutters a "Finally", before saying "I activate Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards", as he does so (E-Hero Necroshade & Wild Half), and then says 'Next, I summon Wroughtweiler in DEF mode & end my turn." As this occurs, a robotic dog with a blue visor appears and kneels down as if to prepare for an oncoming attack (3-star/1200 DEF). "Your move, monster."

"It is indeed!" The Cloaked Man said, as he drew a card (D-Hero Captain Tenacious), and then said "I summon D-Hero Captain Tenacious in ATK mode." From this, another unusual creature appeared. This one was a man with large crystal shards on his wrists, with long orange-like hair, and black pants as well (3-star/ 800 ATK). "And with this, my Dreadmaster gets stronger" the Cloaked Man said, as Dreadmaster grew stronger (2000/2400 + 800/800= 2800/3200)! Then, the Cloaked Man said "Next, my Diamond Dude's effect will now let me activate the magic card previously sent to my graveyard." The shadow of the Pot of Greed card briefly appears behind the Cloaked Man, as he draws 2 new cards and suddenly has a giant smirk on his face (Seal of Orichalcos & ?????) as he tells himself "At last I have drawn an Egyptian God Card. But, if I use it now, my Dreadmaster will be useless to me......aw, (Censored) it then! It can wait 1 turn, though!"

Little did these 2 know, but Little noticed that a strange shadow of darkness was coming closer to the duel, as she appreantly sensed that something was very....very...wrong. She suddenly turned to her brother and said "Big, stop the duel! I sense something else coming." Big looks at her and said "So have I, but I sense something just as powerful coming from this guy's hand as well. If I don't stop him soon, this could get even uglier then it already is." The Cloaked Man, however, chuckled, and said "You have no idea just how ugly it's about to get. Now, it's time to take this duel to the next level. I play the Seal fo Orichal......" He is suddenly interrupted when a mysterious voice says "I don't think so!" Big, Little & the Cloaked Man look around, but can't see anything. Big, however, soon says "I know you're here! Come out now!" The 3 waited patiently, until a strange shadow-like creature suddenly appeared. This creature seemed like a lady, at first, but she appreantly had a brown clawdleft hand, wings, purple hair, a black & brown skin, and those eyes from earlier in this episode. The creature looked at Big and said "It's been a long time since we last met, Big. Before, you were younger and so weak. But now, you've become more powerful then I have ever anticapted." Big, however, soon said "Yet, you still seem as evil as ever." The 2 faced off, as the Cloaked Man looked at this and said "I don't know who you are, but we are in the middle of a duel." The creature looked at the Cloaked Man and said "Not anymore you aren't!" as her eyes glowed and the Cloaked Man was suddenly sent flying off into the air......which, in turn, caused 3 very familiar cards to fly out of his posession and onto the floor. The creature then looked at Big and said "For now, I'm not ready to deal with you, but when the time comes, I will return." The creature suddenly disappeared into the shadows, as Little picked up the 3 cards and asked Big "Who or what was that thing?" Big, with a expression-less look, replied "Yubel!"

Meanwhile, in Tokyo-3 (2015)......

The council at SEELE were discussing the recent events that have been transpiring, as the footage of Big from back in Episode 5 was being shown. "This creature has an immense power. It's too great to be an Angel" said a voice from behind pillar #1. The one behind pillar #2 then added "That is true. To add to this, Ikari has been planning to create a copy of the creature to proceed with 3rd Impact." The 3rd pillar soon added "If this occurs, there is the 89% chance it will destroy us all. It must be dealt with at once." Many different voice soon spoke in unison, as #4 soon said "Then, it is agreed. The clone must not be allowed it's birth, and the creature must die!" They all agreed in unison as the 1st piller soon said "Then, the time has come! Awaken the 17th Angel & kill the creature!"

From that point on, somewhere in an unknown location, a large tube filled with a strange liquid hosted a, seemingly innocent, boy. This boy, however, soon opened his eyes to reveal his red eyes themselves, as he smiled!

Back in Domino City (2008)......

Big sat on the ground to think of his next move, as he told himself "First the Orichalcos, then Yubel? What's next?" Little soon walked up towards her brother, as she said "I think this might be a clue!" Liitle shows her brother the cards she found, as Big's eyes open wide & said "Oh My God....The Egyptian God Cards!"

*****************************************************************************************************

Well, after a long hiatus, that's it for this episode. However, first, here's the 'card of the chapter':

Clock Tower Prison (Field Magic Card; Cloaked Man's card)

Following each of your opponent's end phases, this card gains a counter. After 4 counters are added, all battle damage done to your life points are reduced to zero(0). If this card is destroyed by a card effect while having 4 counters, you can special summon 1 D-Hero Dreadguy from your deck to your field.

And now, a little look as to what's in the next episode:

Trying to figure out just how Yubel excaped, Big learns of a card that is powerful enough to stand up to Yubel: Rainbow Dragon! However, as he heads to retrive it, he is stopped by a mysterious woman who uses a Jewel Beast Deck made specifically to stop Big from obtaining it. As the duel goes on, Big makes a suprising discovery as to who it is.....

Meanwhile, Shinji runs into a boy named Karowu, who appears innocent at first. However, Rei immediantly notices something very wrong with Karowu....

See you guys next time!
