Right then, my miseries were over and here's the chapter 7 of Silent Dueling! (I feel like my words going 'plank' while doing this one).

Chapter 7: The Abandoned Dorm

Ki had arrived at the Slifer dorm no sooner. There at the hall (so to speak) he met up with Liner along with a senior third year Slifer student. He was tall and thin, with auburn short hair, thin eyes and was called Vaan. He was unsurprised to see Ki entering, perhaps Liner told him about Ki already. Ki sat down and began his ghost story as they were asking for it.

"It was a full moon night, like this one!" Ki began as his eyes darkens, sending chills into Liner and Vaans' back. His voice turned into a deep serious tune. Ki continued, "I was camping, alone in the mountains and eventually, I had finished setting up a tent and ready to rest for the night." Ki's expression turns much darker and creepier every second, "While I tried to sleep in the shabby tent, I heard a high pitched buzzing sound coming from outside the tent. Naturally, I thought it was the sounds of buzzing bess but as I focus more on it, it was neither from bees nor hornets, so I swiftly climb out of the tent and peeked outside-"

Ki took a breath. He continued, coldly, "-then, to my very own eyes, there was a giant, about three times the size of mine; he was huge, and dark. Then, under the right angle of light, I saw its face; his hair was untidily long; so long that it covers his entire face, but the eyes where tiny and emotionless. Then to my horror, there were bloods on its hair-", if this was not a ghost story session, Ki would have laugh instead of being so seriously scary, "-the buzzing sound came from something in its right hand, something with a thin sharp blade-a chainsaw, stained with BLOODS!" Ki went on, pressing his advantage, his eyes blinking with malice, taking their fears to a higher level. Liner and Vaans' teeth were trembling with fear. "That giant had a kill in his eyes and his eyes fixed emotionlessly and coldly at me, then his other hand holds the saw and charged at me savagely like a saber tooth tiger. Then he cuts the tent off, so simple and during the process-" just to make it scarier as he strips his shirts off, revealing the bruises and scars on his back. "SCRATCH, leaves some marks on my back!"

Liner and Vaan froze at a spot. They believed Ki's story as they saw Ki's scar. Ki press on, "-I ran for it, into the forest. Until I trip! I twisted my ankle, during the process and I turn, scanning for the 'butcher', but he was above me, so big and enormous. The giant raised the chainsaw (RRrrrrr-) in his hands and-" Ki shouted, out of the sudden.

Liner and Vaan gasped as they jumped nearly toppled from their seats. Their face turned pale white, but unmistakably fainted, on the spot.

"Hey~, Liner~, Vaan~… fainted?" he joked in a silly way. A while later, both Liner and Vaan recovered, their face still whit though.

"N-Not bad, Ki…" said Liner as his jaw trembling.

"Well that's a Level 8 fright if you ask," replied Ki, holding up his Dark Magician card, "Not a bad freak!"

"Y-Y-Yeah…" Vaan started to fear Ki more than ever. They seem to enjoy the stories much. Liner just told them how he can hear mysterious sounds as a ghost story. Ki find it lame but he had an interest inside him.

"MUAHAHAHAHA, HEY I WANT TO JOIN IN THE FRIGHT TOO!" an excited loud roar of laughter burst through Ki's ears. It was ringing so loud that his ear drum nearly burst.

"YIKES! YOU GOT ME!" Ki yelled. So are Liner and Vaan who toppled from their seats during his roar. Clerk laughed childishly as he advanced forward to them.

"Yeah, why don't you give it a shot; the higher the level is, the scarier it has to be!" Liner explained. Clerk's eyes were glinting with interest, like Ki and he drew the top most card-Five-Headed Dragon (Level 12).

"Good to hear," there was a 'want-to-see-you-fright-to-death-Liner' in Ki's tune. His grin spreads broadly on his face.

Clerk laughed and he began darkly and creepily as his eyes darkened like Ki. "MUAHAHAHAHAHA, NICE. Want to hear about the abandoned dorm at the north regions of the island?" Ki was starting to get interested. "There was a dorm set at the very edge of the forest. The dorm was shut down after several students went mysteriously missing-" Liner and Vaan swallowed. "-rumors said that the dorm has something to do with Shadow Games!" Ki's grin died away. He was surprised judging through his face.

"Interesting…" Ki spat.

"Now, now Ki, the dorm is off-limits to every student so you better don't go looking for it!" Clerk warned him. Ki assured him. Clerk smiled reliefly and he bids them goodnight and left them after a large heavy yawn.

Ki was smiling away, "Hey guys," he called "want to check the building?"

Liner and Vaan jumps in surprise as Ki suggested the idea. They made excuses but Ki just threw a smirk of insult and a "Freaked out?" at them.

On the other hand, they were overheard by a certain someone, outside the dorm. That person was no other than the one who holds a grudge on Ki, Crowler. Trespassing into the abandoned dorm, eh? He thought, with an evil glee, wait till I had him expelled the other day, this is BRILLIANT! He shuffled off with his 'brilliant and evil' plans.

Later that day, Ki along with Liner and Vaan were traveling through the forest, in search of the dorm. They had no luck at first, but a while later; they were in sight of the building. To Ki's surprise, the building looked exactly the same as the one in Ki's dream (except this was much clearer and larger). He skipped the post and pushed the old broken door open. Liner and Vaan hesitated but they followed Ki.

The hallway of the dorm was clearer in view compare to that in Ki's dream. There were thick dusts covering almost everything in the dorm. The paints were fading and the old wooden floor kept making screeches as they were stepped on. They looked into the place curiously, all fears forgotten.

If I'm not mistaken, there… Ki thought as he flash the flashlight into a deeper corridor of the dorm. He glares for a moment and he advanced deeper in. Liner and Vaan followed, confused. Ki went further in and into a large square …empty? But…hey, what gives?

"Putty human!" chocked a cold voice. Ki recognize this voice.

"Brron, The Mad King of the Dark World!" said Ki, glaring at the floor opposite him.

"YOU!" chocked the voice louder and colder. There was a mist covering Ki, Liner and Vaan's feet. A fiend appeared. It had grey skin and with a fiendish face. He seemed to be bounded in chains, but continued, "The eavesdropper who spied on our plan!"

"So am I…" for a moment, Ki recalled that white magician and he smirks, "This should be nice; let's call this a shadow game, Double R-" Ki seemed to made a name for Brron as his name has 2 'r' s. "If I win, you hand that damsel in distress nice and quietly to me!" Ki announced.

"Damsel in Distress… I see now!" Brron broke the chains binding him and he brings out 2 cards, revealing them to Ki: the first card was a young looking girl with white robe, hat, gloves and a staff, along with white shoulder length hair; the other was like an older version of the petite magician and Ki recognize her as the Silent Magician in his dreams. "And if I win?" Brron said impatiently. Ki replied, "Well that's up to you!" Brron broke into a laugh and continued, "Then you and your friends shall join her in the ritual!"

"… Acceptable!" Ki was still smirking. Liner and Vaan swallowed and wondered what kind of ritual Brron mean. "Well, then-" Ki pulls the Duel Disk he had behind his back and equip it to his left arm. He slot in his deck and activates it, "-Shadow Duel, ON!" Brron puts on a black duel disk with green trim and place it onto his arm (So be it!) he spat.

"DUEL!" they both announced.

"I'll take the lead first! DRAW!" he pulled six cards and then he plays one of it, "I play the spell card, Cheerful Coffin."

"Cheerful Coffin?" Liner and Vaan bewilders as they wonders why would he plays that.

"Cheerful Coffin effects activate, you see human, I get to discard 3 cards from my hand to the grave and I will discard Goldd, Sillva and Beiige!" Brron explained.

"Dark World deck, darn I forgot this!" Ki whispers "Dark World monsters are specialized in discarding and special summoning in the process!" Ki's expression changed into a rather worried face.

"And by discarding them, I can Special Summon them to the field! Goldd, Wu-Lord of the Dark World (2300/1400), Sillva, Warlock of the Dark World (2300/1400) and Beiige, Vanguard of the Dark World (1600/1300)! C'mon out to serve my bidding!" cried Brron. Three fiends came to his field. Two of them which Ki recognize were the silver and gold one as they corner him in his dream but the one with the lance would be Beiige.

"He special summons 3 monsters at the start of the turn!" Liner and Vaan gasped, "Ki!" Ki ignored them.

"Next, I summon non other than myself, Brron, Mad King of the Dark World (1800/1400)!" Brron was onto the field. He continued, "Now I activate my effect, by discarding a card in my hand I get to draw another card; I discard Broww, Huntsman of the Dark World!" he placed the card through a slot. "Broww's effect activates, when he is discarded to the graveyard, I can draw 1 card! But I shall set this one anyway and ends my turn!"

"…" there was a sign of hesitation in Ki's eyes but instead, he just insulted, "That's all? I go!" Ki pulled his next card. "First of, I discard one in order to special summon The Tricky (2000/1200) in attack position. Next, I play the spell card Tricky Spell 4, by sacrificing 'The Tricky' on my side of the field, I can special summon the exact amount of Tricky Tokens equals to those monsters on your field. Since you have… 'Double D', 'Double L', 'Double I' and of course, you (Double R), that will make 4 tokens!" Four of the same looking Tricky Tokens were special summoned onto Ki's field. Ki ends with 2 face down.

"Is that it, human?" Brron sneered as he draws.

"Not quite,-" Ki swing his arm, "-reveal face down, Zero Gravity. This card changes the battle positions of all our monsters; defense to offense, offense to defense, you feel me Double R?" the monsters on the field changed positions. Every token on Ki's field were changed to attack mode where else the monsters on Brron's field were changed to defense.

"Tchah, smart for a human! But I can still turn mine to attack mode! So-" he changes all his monsters back to attack mode. "-that's that! Now, I'm commencing attack! Sillva, Goldd, destroy those annoying tricksters!" The gold and silver fiends each attack a token. Ki's Life Points were drained to 3400. Brron laughed, "How is human!"

"K-K-KI! YOUR LEGS!" Liner and Vaan gasped.

Ki swung to them, then his legs. To his horror, his legs were gone! "…" Almost a short while later, he adjusted to it, "A Shadow Game indeed… even I can't feel them anymore!" he panted.

"That's right human. Shall you be consumed into the darkness or yield, human? It is your choice human. There's still-" Brron's words were cut short.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. ARE YOU DONE?" Ki spat at him annoyingly.

"Tch, how dare you! Well then if you insisted it, fine. I shall end my turn!" said Brron annoyed.

Ki draw his next card, Ancient Rules… he thought, with this card, I get to Special Summon a Level 5 or above normal monster from my hand… Dark Magician… Ki smirked. "I now play ANCIENT RULES!" the card appeared but Brron's eyes became something so mad that Ki could tell that he fell for his trap.

"HA! I PLAY MY FACE DOWN, DARK DEAL!" Brron roared. Ki gasped, horrified. "Dark Deal's effect is, whenever my opponent activate a normal spell card, I had to pay up 1000 Life Points-"Brron's legs were disappearing as well, "-so that spell card's effect will switch to-"

"Your opponent discards 1 random card" Ki finished his line.

"Correct human. Since this was my only card-" Brron raised the only card in his hands and send it into a slot. "-I discard it. Then, the real effect activates!"

"… Reign-Beaux, Overlord of the Dark World…" Ki said under his breath.

"Indeed! And I'll bring him forth! My mighty Reign- Beaux!Come tome and destroy this human!" said Brron madly. A large black fiend holding a gold scepter appeared onto the field (2500/1800). Ki backed away as he saw the massive fiend. "Wait, that's not all human. When Reign-Beaux is special summoned this way, I can choose to destroy every monster or spell and trap on your side of the field and I choose, DESTROY ALL MONSTERS, Thunder of Destruction." The fiend raised the scepter and there was a thunder. It came bolting down onto Ki's field and destroyed every monsters on Ki's field. The strong gale came beating Ki as his field became free of monsters except for a face down.

"NO WAY, IF KI LOSES THIS DUEL THEN WE'RE ALL MONSTER CHOW!" Vaan gasped in panic.

"Darn, I misjudged you!" Ki cursed under his breath. Darn, I was so close! "Turn end!"

"HA! NOW I WON!" Brron draw his card impatiently and he enters Battle Phase, "NOW MY MIGHTY REIGN-BEAUX, ATTACK HIM WITH WAVE OF DESTRUCTION!" Brron commenced. The greater fiend points it's golden scepter at Ki and it fires a beam of black thunder, bolting straight at Ki."

"…" Silent Magician came visible into Ki's view. She was standing behind Brron and she was looking disappointed. Ki took the hit and his Life Points were decreased to 900. During that moment, half of Ki's body vanished.

"NOW, ALLOW ME TO SEND THE FINAL ATTACK!" Brron, the Mad King himself attacks Ki directly as he fires a bolt of black thunder at him.

Ki's eyes shot horribly wide as he is about to brace for his end… or maybe not.

End Chapter 7
