Barian Curse

Chapter One: The Valley of Death

Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon, Ultimate Tachyon Spiral of Destruction.' As Mizar proclaimed this with disgust (and a small amount of respect) in his voice, the two Arclight brothers screamed in pain, their life points dropping to zero (Trey and Quinton LP:700-0). As they flew backwards, the two disappeared into a pink light, floating Into the column of light in the distance.

Mizar then looked at Marin and Dumon, as the sphere field vanished from around them. 'Go, back to Barian World to help Nash.' Marin looked concerned. 'And where will you go?' Mizar just looked at the sky. 'I'm off to the moon – I will meet Kite there. We will determine who the one true Galaxy-Eyes master is there. However, only I shall return, for I will be the true master.'

Mizar then disappeared into a yellow light, shooting through the sky. Meanwhile, Dumon and Marin looked at each other. 'Mizar's right – we need to help Nash.' 'We will be safe Marin. And once we get there, if Nash hasn't arrived yet, we will take out Yuma.'

'What about Vector?' 'If Vector tries anything, we have the advantage. Let's go Marin.' 'Yes, let's.' The two of them then disappeared into a portal. As they flew towards Barian World, tendrils shot out from behind them, heading for Nash in the distance. The tendrils struck Marin, sending she and Dumon flying in different directions, unable to reach each other.

Barian World

As Marin crash-landed in Barian World in her human form, she immediately came face-to-face with a mysterious shadow. 'Who… who are you?' The shadow just laughed deeply. 'Marin, I am the one who created everything you see around you. I can give you great power, infinite in its gaze, but you will have to give up everything you are in return. You will have to be mine.'

The former Rio baulked at the idea. 'I have no idea who you are, but I am not giving up anything. Now get ready to duel or get lost.' The shadow laughed again, as she looked up. 'Soon enough Marin, you will see the truth. Soon enough, you will accept. If it isn't too late by then.'

Before she could react, Dumon caught up to her. 'I was concerned, but now I have found you Marin. Who were you talking to?' Marin immediately jumped. 'Oh, nothing – I was just having hallucinations after crash-landing here I think. You ok?' 'I'm fine. Now let's go and find Yuma Tsukumo.' As they went to leave, they noticed Vector sat on a throne, prompting a scathing remark from Marin.

'Don't you have work to be doing? Like finding Yuma and Astral and stopping them? Or at least annoying my brother instead of me? And more to the point, why are you on Nash's throne.' 'Nash's throne snash's throne, I don't care. The truth is, I'm not on your side. I'm not on anybody's side other than my own. So let's duel, that way I can delete you both and absorb your powers.'

The two emperors looked at each other, in a mild state of shock. But before they could say any more, a bigger revelation came. 'I've got someone I would like you to meet, but he's not around right now. He's called… Don Thousand.' Looking on, stunned, Dumon could only whisper a pained 'Don… Thousand…', while Marin seemed less concerned, almost as if she already knew of his presence.

You fancy teaching this doofus a lesson Dumon?' 'If it is for the glory of the greater good, I will fight alongside you Marin.' The two then activated their d-pads. 'In a 2-1, you don't stand a chance Vector. You'll regret the day you ever tried turning on either of us.' 'Will I now?'

Elsewhere, somewhere between the three worlds

Nash awoke, to find himself in a dark sphere, crackling with electricity. 'Where… am I?' He then looked around. 'I think I remember… a figure? I don't recognise it though' A single screen then appeared in front of him, allowing him to see Vector, Marin, and Dumon. 'Why are they fighting? Yuma, he is the enemy, not each other. Something isn't right. I just need to get out of here to solve the issues.'

Vector LP:4000 vs. Marin LP:4000 and Dumon LP:4000

Turn 1: Vector: 'As I am at a disadvantage, I'll start! I draw.' He saw the card he'd drawn, and grinned. 'I've made a few… upgrades recently. I activate Don Thousand's Throne!' As the demonic throne appeared, the mad emperor cackled. 'Now I could sit here and take my time beating you down leisurely.' He then did so. 'But, I think I'll equip this card to myself instead!'

A bunch of tentacles then flew out of the throne, and ensnared him, turning into a thick layer of black and red armour. A single red eye then opened in the centre of his chest, which Dumon recognised right out of the gate. 'Don Thousand. The Barian god.' Refusing to acknowledge their names, the god spoke.

'Emperors, you have done well to ensure the continued progress of the merging of the three worlds. However, soon there will be no use for you. For you were created to be my food, and that is your ultimate fate. After my battle with the being they call Astral, I was forced to rest for many years to recover. To gather my strength. But then, Vector came to me. He braved the Great Barian Sea, just to find me, to ask for my assistance. My power had not recovered fully.'

Marin was unimpressed by the revelations of the god. 'What use are you if you're not even at full strength?' 'Do not be blinded by your insolence child! For even at limited power, I am far more than any emperor, I am more than you all put together!' 'We'll see about that. Power's one thing, but skill is quite another.' Vector eventually chimed in. 'Do you mind if I continue my turn?'

He then did so. 'I'll now activate the effect of Umbral Horror Ghost in my hand. Because I have two, I can summon both of them (Atk:0)x2. Then I'll summon Umbral Horror Will O' The Wisp (Atk:0). And his effect allows him to copy the level of my ghosts (Level:1-2). Now I will overlay my three monsters! I hope you've not forgotten about this blast from the past - appear, Number 96, Dark Mist (Atk:100).'

As the mist appeared on the field, Vector cackled again. 'Show them your true form Number 96.' The Rank 2 monster quickly dissipated, turning into a marionette. 'This is what's going to happen to both of you soon! Then again, I suppose you should look forward to it. I end my turn.'

Marin - 'I would rather perish right here than become your puppet!' 'That can be arranged.' 'For the sake of the Barian Empire… for my brother, I will never lose! I draw. I summon Blizzard Thunderbird (Atk:1600). Then I'll use Blizzard Vision. I hope you're not seeing double Vector, because this turns my one Thunderbird into two. Now I'll overlay them both. Appear, Number 103 - Ragnazero (Atk:2400).'

'Oh how cute, a Barian number. You know who created those right? Don Thousand. They were his gift to us and this is how you respond?' The former human was completely uninterested by the however. 'I wasn't asking for a history lesson. If I wanted that I'd ask my brother. I end my turn with a face-down.' 'You're going to lose. In fact, you might as well just never bother.' 'Oh I'm going to win Vector. And taking you down will be the sweetest gift of all.'

Dumon: 'You take leave of your senses Vector. Therefore it is for us to remind you of where you stand. I draw. I summon Star Seraph Scout (Atk:1200). When he is Normal summoned, he is joined by another - Star Seraph Sage (Atk:1600). Then, my Sage will discard one Spell from my hand, in order to call upon Star Seraph Sword (Atk:1400). I will then overlay my three monsters in order to summon my Number - Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry (Atk:2500).'

'Sentry will now activate it's effect. By detaching a single material, it halves the Attack points of Dark Mist and bind its effects.' The Sentry fired a golden arrow straight into the heart of Vector's monster, restricting its use (Atk:100-50). Marin then joined in the onslaught. 'And now Ragnazero activates her effect. Because your monster's points changed, she can destroy it. Moonblade Blitz.'

Ragnazero's sharp blade cut straight through Number 96, leaving no trace of it on the field. 'Next I draw a card.' Dumon then finished the combo. 'I activate Star Seraph Starscream. As your monster was destroyed while I controlled a Star Seraph monster, you lose 1000 Life points.' A shining pillar of energy appeared, and smashed straight through Vector with a devastating uppercut (Vector LP:4000-3000).

'How do you like our teamwork?' Vector quickly got up, dusted himself off, and laughed. 'Not bad. I think I underestimated you both. Mind you, you couldn't exactly go down lower in my estimations.' 'I end my turn with a face-down.' 'And as you do, I activate Nightmare Xyz.' Vector then started to giggle breathlessly. 'Because a Number monster I control was destroyed in battle, I can bring back the materials used to summon it, and change all their levels to equal that monster's Rank. I'll bring back Umbral Horror Will O'The Wisp and two Umbral Horror Ghosts (Atk:0, 200x2, Level:2).'

'Then with the final effect of Nightmare Xyz, I can overlay my three Level 2 monsters! I'll rebuild the overlay network, and Xyz summon, Number 43 - Manipulator of Souls (Atk:0). And when I do, it equips itself with a Number monster from the graveyard. I Number 96!' The Manipulator lowered crimson strings into the ground, which lifted Dark Mist back up, like a puppet. 'Now during the End phase, Don Thousand's Throne gives me back every point which I lost this turn!' As the other emperors watched in horror, the eye that had opened in Vector's chest glowed red, and he was healed back to full health (Vector LP:3000-4000). And now I have, the effect of Manipulator of Souls increase its Attack by that amount (Atk:1000).'

'Now I get to deal all of that to you as damage. But who do I choose? Eenie meenie miney Marin! Licking Lash!' Marin was defenceless to prevent a long, lizard-like tongue lashing her hard and throwing her off her feet (Marin LP:4000-3000). Dumon immediately went to check on her, but she stood straight up. 'I'm fine. Nothing I can't handle.' She was still busy though, chewing over what she had been told earlier.

Meanwhile, Vector was still laughing, and had a very clear plan. (This strategy is perfect! This way I am unkillable, they suffer, and best of all, Nash suffers! Every time I heal, he hurts!) He then started to taunt them. 'So, how do you like my invincible monster?' Dumon didn't respond to Vector, but instead spoke to Marin. 'Marin, the only way in which we can win this is if we take him out in one turn.' 'Right.' Vector found this plan typically hilarious. 'Stupid fragile minds, thinking you can defeat me. My power is equivilant to a god! In fact, it might even be greater than that!'

Vector: 'I draw! I see no reason to do anything other than going to attack Star Seraph Sentry with Manipulator of Souls!' 'But why would you do that?' Manipulator of Souls fired red beams from its eyes, which were deflected back by the sentry spinning his bow, causing Manipulator to be engulfed in a vicious explosion (Vector LP:4000-2500). As he picked himself up from the steps, he boasted further. 'Don't forget, as long as its equipped with a Number, my Manipulator is safe!'

'And now I'll activate the Quick-play Spell Card of Endurance. Because I had the temerity to take damage this turn, I now take another 1000 damage. But I do get a card out of it.' Vector was floored again, this time by a fierce jolt of electricity (Vector LP:2500-1500). I'll end my turn by setting two, and Don Thousand's Throne heals me once more (Vector LP:1500-4000). And now I get to deal that amount as damage. I'd love to hit you now Dumon, because you are getting annoying, but bullying Marin is my new favourite hobby! Whipping Lash!' Marin got slammed once more, as Nash screamed for her to get up, not that she could hear him (Marin LP:3000-500).

Vector continued to laugh after this, and taunted them once more. '500 measly Life Points left. Soon you'll be sent straight back to hell with a first class ticket… for REAL this time!' On this occassion, Marin reacted. 'What do you mean by "for real"?' 'You mean you don't remember? Well let me remind you of the shocking truth. The truth that it was I that killed you and your brother in Barian World!' Vector's words caused Marin to have a devastating flashback.

Flashback

The vision began with Marin being held hostage over a cliff, in an area which appeared to be somewhere close to Don Thousand's palace, with Nash pleading with Vector. 'It doesn't have to be this way Vector! Release Marin and I will spare your life.' Marin though wasn't so sympathetic. 'Don't take pity Nash! He doesn't deserve your mercy.' As lightning rattled around the cliffside, Vector cackled. 'Don't make a move, otherwise she falls right now! You both disgust me! With your fancy words and your rules and your "fairness". But that ends, because I'm sending her to hell right now!'

Vector then raised his arm high, and his hand glowed with pink energy as a Trap card, Giant Sky Sword, materialised, and purple energy dropped down past the cliff, creating a portal. 'This portal is like a black hole - it will suck you in and then trap you in the abyss forever.' Nash screamed at him to stop, but to no avail, as Marin was launched off of the edge of the cliff. 'Marin!' Nash screamed, before instinctively leaping down into the portal himself, as Vector stared on. 'Idiot.'

In the portal, Nash managed to reach Marin, and grabbed her hand. 'Nash, what are you doing?' 'I'm never leaving you, no matter what happens. We'll face all of this together.' A scream from them both followed, as they were absorbed by the eternal abyss, and started screaming through the portal at breakneck speed, until they eventually came to a screeching halt. As they did, Nash seemed confused. 'Where… are we?' 'I'm not sure.'

Suddenly, a figure appeared before them - it was the spirit of Abyss Splash. Immediately, Marin asked a question of him. 'This… is this… the afterlife?' 'No.' 'Where are we then?' Abyss then began to explain. 'This is… purgatory. You are in a portal which would direct you straight to the afterlife. However while you are in the portal you are in a state of nonexistence, neither dead nor alive.'

Nash then clenched his fist tight. 'We need to get out of here.' 'That, I'm afraid is impossible. Or at least in your current forms.' Marin then pleaded with him. 'We'll do anything to get out of here.' 'In that case… there may yet be a way. A way in which you may emerge from this path you are now on. But it means sacrificing everything you know.'

Abyss then cast his hand towards the edge of the portal, and a video appeared, of two human children, on hospital beds in deep comas. 'These are…' 'These are children from the human world. Their vessels are also on their way to the afterlife.' This seemed to strike a chord with Marin. 'So young… impossible…' 'Yet it is. If you wish to live, you must first be reborn.'

'So what are you saying?' 'You will be reborn into these human vessels, and live, as them. These vessels are called Reginald and Rio Kastle. But you will have no memories of your previous life as Barians, at least not available to you. One day, likely distant into the future, I will awaken your memories, and you may then return to gain vengeance on the one who has wronged you. The choice is yours.'

Marin seemed unsure about the dilemma, but her brother had no desire to let her decide. 'We'll do it. In order to gain our eventual revenge, we'll do it.' She then asked Abyss an important question. 'How long… will we be humans for?' 'That I cannot say, I fail to possess the ability to read the future. All I can promise is I will steer your lives towards me. Now you must leave, and quickly, while the vessels are still available.' The two then fell subtly unconscious, and their bodies vanished from the portal.

Heartland General Hospital

The doctors continued to work, but the vessels failed to respond. Eventually they looked at each other. 'I don't think there's much more we can do for them. They've been comatose for six weeks now.' Just then, the female vessel took a deep breath, shocking the doctors. Shortly afterwards, the other one also started to breathe on their own again. And not long after this, they both woke up, but with different souls now in their bodies.

Back in the duel

Vector was irked by what he watched. 'So it was that clown Abyss that brought you back was it? Well, we'll have to see what we can do about him later. But first, I need to finish torturing the two of you!' Marin though was seething, and morphed back into her human form, scarred but still alive. 'You just made your biggest mistake Vector. Because me and Reginald, we didn't remember a thing about what happened to us. We certainly didn't remember that it was you that killed us both.' 'So?'

'So, we were willing to work together with you, to destroy Yuma Tsukumo and obliterate Astral World. You could so easily have settled for total victory in the Barian quest. But you had to turn your back on us for the sake of greed and a petty dispute. So now, we're going to destroy Astral World. But you won't be there to see it!'

Marin: 'Brother, lend me your power. Barian's Chaos Draw! I activate Rank-up Magic the Seventh One. This will rank up my Ragnazero into a Chaos Xyz monster. Chaos Xyz Evolution! Barian's power, born of chaos, lend me your strength and grant me eternal victory! I Xyz summon Chaos Number 103 - Ragnafinity (Atk:2800).' As Dumon watched on, she had her plan set.

'Now I'll activate Distortion Crystal. Now when the Attack points of your monster is changed, I can double that change. Then I'll activate another Spell - Zero Blade. Now the Attack of your monster plummets by 1000 points, triggering Distortion Crystal (Number 43 Atk:3500-1500). And now Ragnafinity can use her effect, to deal you with damage equal to the difference between Number 43's current and previous Attack. I hope you enjoy the pain Vector, make it remind you of how we suffered.' Ragnafinity spun her scythe-like weapon up to high speed, creating a purple cloud which dropped Vector where he stood (Vector LP:4000-2000).

'You have some nerve doing that to me. So you think that one hit will be sufficient to destroy me do you?' 'No, I don't. Luckily Zero Blade allows Ragnafinity to attack twice! This first hit's directly from me - Ragnafinity, attack Manipulator of Souls!' Ragnafinity swung her staff around, which sliced the strings tying Dark Mist to Number 43, sending Vector flying backwards again (Vector LP:2000-700). 'Your Manipulator may not be able to be destroyed while it has a monster equipped, but you're still taking all the damage. This next hit is for Nash!'

The scythe was spun up fast again, and started ripping into the head of the Manipulator, only for Vector to react right in time. 'I activate Damage Pot! This negates all damage I would have taken.' A large red pot appeared before Vector, and ate the onslaught from Ragnafinity, before laughing and vanishing. Frustrated, Marin ended her turn.

'As you failed to kill me this turn, Don Thousand's Throne restores all the points I lost this turn.' As Vector's points recovered back to full (Vector LP:700-4000), Nash screamed in agony, every point Vector gained being drained from his very life energy. 'And now, I can give all those points to Manipulator of Souls! Would you like to be sent to hell quickly? Or shall I drag it out?'

As it turns out, Vector was very lucky this day, as his grandstanding was enough time for Don Thousand to stop his move. 'Don't do it Vector. Her monster will wipe you out.' 'Nah, it wouldn't, it's only 3300 damage.' Unimpressed, the Barian god pointed out the obvious. 'Have you looked at her field?' It took Vector but a moment to realise the truth. 'Distortion Crystal!' 'It would have doubled the Attack change, and therefore doubled the damage. But she would have taken herself out as well…'

His thoughts were then interrupted by Marin. 'Come on, do your worst! Or have you realised the truth?' 'You…' He then laughed to himself. 'You clever girl.' 'You realised I was about to send you straight to oblivion with a one way ticket.' 'It's almost a pity that you didn't realise you'd be sending yourself as well.' Her response was shocking. 'I know.' Vector seemed confused, but Dumon quickly understood the reference.

'You were intending to take both of you out.' She just glared at him, her face not scared, but focused. 'If one of us survives, the mission survives. It's that simple.' Dumon was somewhat unnerved by her strong desire, but he refused to let that show, and remained typically stoic. 'I understand. You are right as well - our rage must not get in the way of our mission.'

Dumon: 'I draw. It appears that the message has been heard loud and clear - I activate Rank-up Magic the Seventh One! This card will take my Star Seraph Sentry and upgrade it into a Chaos Xyz monster. Chaos Xyz Evolution! Barian's power, born of chaos, help us achieve our ultimate goal! I Xyz summon Chaos Number 102 - Archfiend Seraph (Atk:2900).'

'Now I'll use Celestial Rage from my graveyard. If I banish it, I can grant Archfiend Seraph 2000 more Attack points. There is but one catch - any damage which you take, I will take also. Then I'll use the effect of Archfiend Seraph. By detaching an Overlay Unit, your monster loses all its Attack points and effects.' Seraph shot a darkened arrow, with two fiends flying by it, which pierced the Manipulator, dropping its Attack (Atk:1500-0).

'Archfiend Seraph, attack Manipulator of Souls!' Vector, resembling an escapologist by now, had a plan once again. 'I activate Evil 1! This protects my Manipulator of Souls, and then changes the Battle damage to my Life points - 1 (Dumon LP:4000-1, Vector LP:4000-1).' By now, Dumon was getting incredibly frustrated. 'I'll set one and end my turn.' 'And my Life points all rebound (Vector LP:1-4000).' 'Are you going to give your monster more Attack points?' Vector just laughed. 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!'

Vector: 'I draw! I activate the final effect of Evil 1. In exchange for my Battle phase this turn, I can send this to the graveyard to destroy a card on the field. I'll destroy my Damage Pot.' As he declared that, the Pot exploded violently. 'If Damage Pot leaves the field, we all take the damage that it negated. That's 1300. Of course I'll be fine, but I can't say the same about you both!'

At this moment, Dumon reacted sharply. 'You've triggered my face-down - Sacred Shield. Because a Trap was activated which would deal effect damage, I can negate the damage, and then give all of those points to a Fairy on the field. I select Ragnafinity (Atk:2800-6700).' Marin then nodded at Dumon. 'We won!' He looked back glumly. 'You won. During the End phase, I'll take all the damage that was negated.' As he said that, Vector ended his turn, and Dumon was blown back by an explosion (Dumon LP:1-0).

Coated in a harsh pink light, the beaten Dumon looked over at Marin. 'I just want you to know one thing Marin.' 'What?' He then smiled. 'You were fantastic. You always were.' As he vanished, she cried over his body, her tears eventually hitting the ground directly. She then stood up, and stared at Vector, face full of rage. 'Dumon's sacrifice will not be in vain. No matter what, I will destroy all obstacles before me. Starting with you!'

Rio: 'I draw. Ragnafinity, attack Manipulator of Souls.' Ragnafinity's onslaught struck again, as she slayed the Manipulator. As the dust settled however, Vector was still alive (Vector LP:4000). 'How are you still there?' 'Whew, that was a close one. Because your monster had more Attack than I had Life points, I was able to protect myself by sending Don Thousand's Throne to the graveyard. Not only does my monster survive, but I take no damage, and then your turn just ends. Just like that.' 'Fine.'

'But I'm not done yet!' 'Why does that not surprise me?' 'The final effect of Don Thousand's Throne ranks up Manipulator of Souls into a Chaos Xyz Monster. Chaos Xyz Evolution! Barian's power, born of chaos, lay waste to this world of filth! I Xyz summon Chaos Number 43 - High Manipulator of Chaos (Atk:0).'

Vector: 'I draw! This is the end of you! I'll started by activating Cursed Chaos! Now you have to pay 500 Life points to activate any monster effects. Remind me how many points you have again?' 'Funny.' 'Oh I know it is. Now I'll use the effect of High Manipulator of Chaos. By detaching an Overlay unit, I can summon a Manipulator Token.' Manipulator shot out multiple red strings from its mouth, which ensnared Marin and appeared to be snatching her very soul, before reforming into a doll, featureless aside from hair which strongly resembled his opponent's.

'My Token gains Attack points equal to your Life points (Atk:0-500). Now my Token, attack!' 'You idiot! You're just comitting suicide!' 'Not so, because when my Token attacks, I take no damage, and it can't be destroyed.' The doll surged at Marin, only for Ragnafinity to slice it straight in half. 'My Token can attack once for every material my Manipulator has.' 'So what - it's achieving nothing?'

Vector then placed the palm of his hand on his face. 'Oh, sorry, I must have forgotten to tell you High Manipulator's OTHER effect. Every point of damage I would have taken becomes Attack points for High Manipulator.' Marin joined the dots and realised the horrific truth. 'No… impossible! I played this perfectly! (Atk:0-6200).' 'Now I can keep going! Manipulator Token, attack!' The Token lunged again, but got carved up once more, powering up the High Manipulator (Atk:6200-12400).'

At this point, Nash was pleading from his prison. 'Let her go Vector! Let her go and we'll let you go free!' Vector though, wasn't interested, despite being able to hear him. 'Manipulator Token, attack a final time!' The Token lunged once more, and simply got decapitated (Atk:12400-18600). 'Are you ready to join your "parents"? High Manipulator, leave nothing!' The Chaos Xyz monsters battled, but the Manipulator absolutely creamed Ragnafinity, causing her to disintegrate and explode right in front of Marin, who was launched into the air (Marin LP:500-0).

As Rio flew backwards, defeated, she muttered "I'm sorry Reginald, I failed you. I don't want… to die.' Don Thousand suddenly emerged from Vector, and his shadow crept over to the fallen Barian. 'Don… Thousand.' 'This does not have to be your end, for your valence to the end was admirable. Be my puppet, pledge your allegiance to me, and you may stay.' Rio then had a flashback to her earlier encounter with Don Thousand.

Flashback

As she stood there, confused, the Barian god reached out to her. 'As a Barian emperor, your goal is one and the same with mine. We are both focused on a single mission - destroy Astral World.' Reluctantly, she agreed. 'So join, join with me. One of your number, one of my servants, has already seen that truth. Join them - accept my ultimate power.'

She rebuffed him however. 'No. My own power is sufficient for this job. I can defeat Yuma and Astral, I know them better than the others.' 'Without my power, you cannot do it. You need my eternal power.' 'Your power may be infinite. But if I may suggest, power may not be enough. They also have power that may rival yours. But if it's more than power which is needed…'

In the present

'Does that mean… betraying Reginald?' 'Nash is of no use to us. But if he does not hamper us, we will cause him no harm. Our goals are one and the same.' Marin then closed her eyes briefly, and whispered 'I'm sorry… it has to be', before opening them again. 'I… accept your power.' The pink light then disappeared from Rio, and Don Thousand picked her up, his claw-like hand around her throat. Just as she was about to pass out, Don Thousand's crest appeared on her head.

Within seconds, her eyes glowed red, and she walked over to the Barian god, kneeling to him, before standing again, speaking to Don Thousand. 'Lord, I am at your command.' The two emperors then flew off together, united under the grasp of Don Thousand, all while Nash screamed and hammered on the wall of the binds that sealed him.

End of Part 1
