Chapter 10: A Fragile Alliance Part I

Ryan's POV

I was back in my room looking at one of the shards of my now destroyed pendent. It was one of the bigger pieces as I frowned.

"Dine, Gaios, everyone." I said as I gripped the shard hard. "I am so sorry." I said as tears came through my eyes. "I wasn't strong enough to save you all, just like I couldn't save Shark and Rio!" I said. "I failed you all!" Tears began to fall on my pendent as I tried to rub them all away but I couldn't. Everything I've been through, it was all too much.

"Ryan, oh Ryan!" A sadistic sing song voice rang out interrupting my sobbing as I looked out the door. "Come on out Ryan." The sadistic voice said again as I realized who it was.

"No, it can't be." I said as I strapped the pouch with the shards of my pendent on my belt, and walked out the door. The voice then let out an evil laugh as I followed into the main hall. When I got there I saw him, pointy orange hair and all. "Vector." I said as he chuckled evilly.

"It's good to see you too again Ryan." He said with a sadistic laugh. "Or should I say water warrior." He said as I gasped.

"You…you know who I am?" I asked as I was surprised.

"Yes, I know who you are, thanks to your full armored monsters." He said as I was confused as what he meant. "When your full armored monsters attacked Nash and Marin's barian number cards, not only did you activate their own memories, but those who were connected to them. And I should say it is an honor to meet you at last, Priest Dylan." He said as I growled.

"Yeah? Well you won't be so honored when I'm done with you!" I said as I put my hand out, but then I remembered my mermailian powers were destroyed as Vector laughed.

"How quick do you forget Dylan, your friends destroyed your own powers." He said as I was getting annoyed.

"Stop calling me by that name!" I shouted at him. I then clinched my fist and ran at him. "My name is Ryan!" I then aimed my fist at his face, but just about to hit him, my fist went through him as well as my whole body. "Huh?" I asked still confused. Vector then laughed again as I looked at him.

"So sorry Dylan, but I'm not really here." He said as I then looked down to see a barian crystal below his feet. "This is just a holographic image, and I am currently back on Barian World where I am playing host to someone very close to you, your precious sister." He said as I gasped.

"Give her back you barian slime ball!" I yelled at him as he laughed again.

"Oh I don't think so." Vector said. "And besides, she's not the only one Barian World's claimed." He said as he showed two holographic images, as I was surprised who I saw.

"No way, Donovan, Lorenzo and Luna." I said as I then gasped who they were dueling. "And they're dueling Alito and Girag." I said as Vector laughed. "Yes now watch what happens." He said as I saw both Alito and Girag summoned their ranked up versions of their barian numbers and unleashed them on all three of them. Then they all fell and disappeared.

"No!" I shouted as Vector laughed again.

"What a shame, they had such potential." He said as I looked at him.

"What, what are you Vector? You're no barian!" I said as he laughed again.

"Oh but I am Dylan, and if you want your revenge for your friends as well as your precious sister, you will come to Barian World." He said.

"Barian World, but how?" I asked the insane barian.

"There just so happens to a portal outside of this mansion little Dylan." Vector said. "But you better hurry, because it will be closing anytime soon." He said as I gasped. "Also, there will be two others that will be with you. So hurry." He said with an evil laugh.

"Alright Vector I'll play your little game." I said without any other choice as I ran to the front door with Vector laughing behind me. As soon as I ran out, I looked to see a portal. "The portal to the lion's den." Then I gasped when I saw the portal flicker. "Oh no, it's disappearing!" I said as I then looked down at my pouch. "Sis did what she could to save me, now I owe it all to her." I said as I then leaped into the portal. "Barian World here I come!" I shouted as I entered into it. When I entered it I could feel the energy from the portal was zapping me of my own strength. I then noticed a light in front of me. "That's gotta be Barian World." I said as I then entered it. As the light faded as I slowly opened my eyes.

"Ah, I see our third guest has arrived." I heard Vectors voice as my eyes were fully opened. As I looked up I saw that I was inside some sort of building and in front of me was a set of stairs. I looked up to see Vector standing on them.

"Vector!" I said as I slowly got up.

"Ryan, thank you for excepting my invitation." He said with a grin on his face.

"Ryan?" I heard a familiar voice as I turned around to see Rio and beside her was Dumon.

"Rio?" I asked as she nodded I then looked over to Dumon. "And you." I said as I just glared at the one who took and 'killed' my brother and sister. "What are you two doing here?" I asked.

"Funny, I was about to ask you the same thing Ryan." Dumon said as we both stared at each other.

"Well if you have to know." I then turned around to face Vector and pointed to him. "Your friend there has my sister hostage and now I want her back." Vector just kept on grinning.

"Your sister?" Rio asked. "Wait you mean that girl Nash and I dueled?" She said as I turned around.

"What do you mean you and Shark dueled her?" I asked.

"After you fainted, your sister took your place in our duel and nearly defeated us if it wasn't for Dumon." She said as I then glanced back at Dumon.

"I see." I said as I kept glaring at him remembering that he and my sister were in some sort of relationship before he left her.

"If we are done talking to each other," I heard Vector say as I turned around to face him again. "I wish to start the game that I created." He said as I was confused at what he said.

"What game Vector?" Rio asked.

"Why the game where I take your powers my fellow emperors." He said with a sneer as I was still confused at what he meant.

"Our powers, what are you talking about?" Dumon asked.

"So sorry Dumon." Vector said as he now had a sadistic look on his face. "Where's my head at? I should be more clear, I am taking away your powers all in the name of Don Thousand, isn't that wonderful." He said as Dumon and Rio gasped in horror.

"Don Thousand?" I asked myself as I turned to Rio. "Hey Rio, care to clue me in on who this Don Thousand guy is?" I asked her.

"Don Thousand is the deity of Barian World he's basically a god." Rio said as Vector laughed again.

"How right you are my dear Marin." Vector said as we looked back at him.

"So you think you can defeat us and steal all of our powers?" Rio asked him.

"You've lost your mind Vector, there's no way you can steal…" Vector then laughed interrupting the barian.

"Poor Dumon, you obviously don't know who you're dealing with." Vector said. "You see Don Thousand and I have come to an agreement." He said as he then glowed a black aura. Then the aura sprang in front of him revealing a muscular creature with wings and a giant glowing eye in the center, as well as two eyes on his face were glowing.

"No way…" I said couldn't believe what I was seeing.

"You all looked surprise to see me." He said in a deep voice that made me tremble. "The time has finally come for you to serve your purpose. I will consume your energies to feed my power."

"Consume their energy?" I wondered at what he meant. "Could he be the core of the emperors power?"

"Consume us?" Dumon yelled out interrupting my train of thought. "What makes you think we would do that?"

"It is your destiny, set in motion long ago." He said as I was curious at what he was saying. "The seven emperors posses power far greater then lesser barians. You will grant them to me or I will take them from you." He said as he then turned towards me. "And as for you human." He said as I was paralyzed in fear to move. "I do not know what Vector has planned for you, only it will be a pleasure to see you destroyed."

"Don't be upset." Vector said. "Look on the bright side, at least you will join on the winning team for once."

"Except for one flaw in your plan." I said. "You can't take my power, it was destroyed in the duel I had." I said as Vector laughed.

"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk." He said. "Have you forgotten why I brought you here Ryan? I brought you so I can finish the job back when I was a human, you remember do you?" He said as then Rio stood in front of me.

"But you're one of the emperors too Vector, that means he'll consume you too." She said.

"I think not, I have become one with Don Thousand." He said as Don Thousand disappeared back inside Vector. "He's a barian deity and so am I." Just then a large gush of wind came out of nowhere flying me, Dumon and Rio backwards. "I have power!" Vector shouted. "I am power!" He said as I looked at him, now in his barian form.

"He's insane." I said.

"Not for long." Rio said as she and Dumon slowly got up. "We can beat you by gathering the other emperors." Vector once again laughed.

"What's the matter Vector?" I asked. "To afraid to get beaten by your own fellowship so you mask your fear with laughter?"

"Oh Ryan, you are a human fool." He responded. "I'm afraid not Marin, Girag is already under my control, and none of the others can help you either." He said as we all gasped.

"That can't be!" Dumon said.
"Alito was in my grasp too, but now he's on Yuma's side now." He said.

"Your saying their allies?" Rio said as all I could do was grin at that piece of news Vector said.

"Yuma, Astral, and Alito are on their way here, but I will easily crush them as well." He said as I then realized something.

"Wait, that that means." I looked at Vector. "You're the one who sent them after my other friends didn't you." Vector then laughed.

"Oh Ryan, you are certainly on a roll today." He said with a chuckle. "Yes, I sent them after your friends who are now defeated thanks to me." He said.

"It seems that you forget that we still have Nash on our side." Dumon said as I had to agree with him on their.

"Oh do you?" He said with an evil chuckle. "Now enough talk, I've been entertained by your gibberish thus far, but the time has come to face your fate." He said as he looked at me. "Starting with you Ryan, and as soon as I'm done with you, Dumon and Marin are next." He said.

"Oh no you don't." Rio said. "If you're going to have to get past me if you want to get through to him." She said as it surprised me.

"Rio…" I said as Vector laughed.

"So now you want to protect this human?" He said with an evil chuckle. "You don't fool me. I knew when you turned your backs on Yuma and the others, that meant you threw your own so-called brother out of your life." He said.

"Yes, I admit, turning on Ryan was the hardest thing I did." Rio said. "But guess what, he stood up against Nash and I and I will always be proud of him for doing that." I then realized that was the real Rio talking, not her barian one as I then stood by her side.

"Then, I guess we're all in this together then. We have a common enemy in Vector, and we all must take him down in order to save you and my sister." I then heard a chuckle. But it wasn't from Vector, it was from Dumon. "Something funny Dumon?" I asked him.

"No." He responded back. "It's just that it never ceases to amaze me." He said as I was confused.

"What's that?" I asked him as he flashed a smile at me.

"The courage of humans." He said. "And if you're going to duel alongside us, you're going to need this." He said as he tossed me a card as I looked to see he gave me back Shark Drake.

"And you're going to need this." Rio said as I looked to see what was in her hand. "Its my D-gazer, I saw that your visor broke during our duel so you're going to need this." She said as I smiled.

"Thanks, Marin." I said calling her by her barian name. "Now let's get to work."

"Right!" They said as they morphed into their barian form. As I saw them in their current form I looked down at the pouch that had the shards of my pendent.

"Guys, this one's for you." I said as I brought out my d-pad and inserted my deck.

"LETS DUEL!"

Vector 4000 LP/Marin 4000 LP/Dumon 4000 LP/Ryan 4000 LP

Normal POV

Inside his prison, Nash watched what was unfolding in front of him.

"I can't believe it, Ryan, Marin and Dumon, they're all fighting for their very survival." He said as he then heard a groan. "Who's there?" He said as he turned his head to the direction it was coming from. He then saw a brown haired girl knocked out and tied up like him. "Wait, you're." He said remembering the girl from the duel. "Ryan's sister, Stephanie." He said. "But what are you doing here?"

To be continued...

Next time on Barian Wars: Battle of the Barians: The duel begins as Ryan, Marin and Dumon team up to take on a Don Thousand powered Vector. But can their team hold together, or will Vectors words and mind games tear the team apart? Next time on Battle of the Barians: A Fragile Alliance Part II.
