Yugioh! The Crusade of the King of Fiends

by DarkRage45

Across the four dimensions, war broke out as soon the discovery of the fifth dimension, the ritual dimension. Once contact was made by the fusion dimension all worlds become ravaged by the cards made by Vactra Hellsear that speak of corruption and enslavement. Two new threats emerges into two major factions that even over threw lesser evils into submission and fight for domination.

Chapter 1: The Apex prisoner

"Well, well, well what do we have here? Another cultist invader? That doesn't matter, throw him into cell 137 and purge his deck too, we don't need more problems in our dimension too." The unknown voice said angrily.

A few moments later the prisoner's body begins to feel a little bit of pressure in his arms, his eyes slowly generating blurry images. Only the bright lights can be seen moving away from him, nexthis hearing started to pick up sounds of dragging. His vision fades in and out every few seconds. He fails to recall where he is, who is here and what happened to the mission. Darkness slowly swallowed his eyes and drifted from my body as exhaustion took hold. But a voice can be heard before he plunged into darkness "So we have him named as prisoner 137..."

An unknown amount of time passed before prisoner 137 woke up...

"God my body is aching all over and my head is pounding. What in hell happened?"

Prisoner 137 slowly inspected his surroundings and noticed immediately this was a prison cell dimly lit, dark gray brick, a small window behind him, a transparent blue force field that seems to act as a prison cell door, also a small bed, a toilet and a sink.

"Oh, great! This is the worst probability I find myself in. Wait oh no my gear! Those bastards took my gear and threw me into a black jumpsuit! What is with this gold and white logo with "Apex" on my left shoulder? I never heard of a prison called that, I need more information and get the hell out." as Prisoner 137 thought to himself.

Prisoner 137's memories began to flood his mind...

My name is Henry Xiaolong, I weigh 130 pounds, have dark blue eyes, short black hair and 6 '1 foot tall. I work with Blue Harvest, a guild for mercenaries who take on a variety of jobs, big or small no matter the price but not every job ends happily, sometimes it ends with somebody dying or losing a mass amount of assets. I was part of the top 15 in Blue Harvest, some people view me as a monster others view me as a hero. The last thing I remember is a job that took me to the abandoned lab to locate an anomaly that was detected in our sensors and they sent me to investigate. This mission ended up a failure in the end, several people in black and gold uniforms, several boxes, a dimly lit room, the room was cluttered with paper, the roof covered in exposed wiring like a jungle, electronic based equipment filled the walls, some scattered in the middle of the room. I hid behind some old, decommissioned machinery but was caught and the room was filled with screams, people panicking as the electronics in the room started to go haywire, lights flickering rapidly. Then the blue portal appeared in front of me and somebody tackled me into the portal, that is only then he and I faced several other people with duel disks ready to start their barrage of attacks, only 2 against several dozens of enemies. We both fought like mad, i don't recall how long we dueled, but at 1 life point and took down several dozen people. Exhaustion was the only thing that really took me down. That guy probably went down the same way shortly after if I remember correctly.

Henry's mind reveals the situation and understands how he ended up in a prison cell. A few people can be heard from a distance, Henry was able to make out what individuals were saying.

"Hey Jefferson what in hell happened at sector 304? I have not heard of 2 people taking out more than 3 dozen men with a single life point, you better have a report that explains your incompetence and I better hear you start singing before I personally deliver your ass into the west wing clinic!" The woman's voice radiated both authority and irritation.

"Captain Cir, we have both footage and eyes to prove to you that these people need to be eliminated, they need to be taken out before those multidimensional bastards recruit them or brainwash them. And secondly, we located a Flames card in that same portal those 2 people broke through. Give me the order to retrieve it before the invaders catch wind of it and cause another dimension to collapse or enslave it entirely!" Jefferson shouted.

Captain Cir immediately thrusted her finger into Jefferson's face "First thing first, they needed to be interrogated, so find out if they know anything and your better submit your fucking report too, oh don't forget to write in detail how they kicked your team's asses, so you better make this lightning quick!"

Captain Cir's high heel steps can be heard echoing into a hallway towards the right. An angry grunt can be heard nearby as Jefferson's footsteps came towards Prisoner 137's cell right side but stopped as sounds of running can be heard from the hall at the left side of 137's cell. Henry begins to see the right edge of the cell of Jefferson's left side of his face covered in a large bushy, black beard, a scar covered across from the eye to his ear, his eye is brown, seems to be in his 30s. The other person stopped near Henry's cell but was unable to see the individual then the following conversation can be heard.

"Sir, we identified a card in dimension 30, the same dimension the prisoner 137 and prisoner 191 exited out. And we identified prisoner 191 as a Flames cult member, his name is Rokuro Kichirou. This man is one of the bigger targets in the Flames cult. Sir, I believe that Rokuro and his team were ambushed by prisoner 137 from the lab that he infiltrated from the camera feed we scavenged. When the portal opened up these two crossed the unstable portal then ended up attacking us."

Jefferson turned into the cell that Henry was in, then looked back at the other individual and ordered him "Get the interrogation room ready for these two, make sure prisoner 137 is in the "Vip'' room. Oh, and make sure that prisoner 110 is under two eyes tonight, she is a real pain to deal with as is." The unknown individual took off to the left hand side as his steps faded in the hallway and Jefferson leftin the same direction, leaving without saying anything to Henry. Henry decided to lay on his prison bed but was soon interrupted by his neighbor "Hey dude I have questions for you. Can you answer me a few questions?"

Henry wanted to know quite a few things himself and answered back "Yeah, but I also have questions for you too."

Roku's voice sounded serious "Ok first question, what were you doing in the lab? On top of that, you seem to be looking for something and how did you find our lab? We had enough equipment to block the signal from military grade equipment."

Henry smiled for a second "Well you see I work in a guild; our guild is funded by the government; we have money and technology to detect the faintest of signals but the lab was emitting a potent energy signal it got picked up by our radar. Second, I was tasked to locate an energy reading then report back to my guild Blue Harvest for further instruction but obviously my plans were cut short once the portal opened. My objective was only a locate and report type of mission. Now my turn, who are you and what is your angle in this situation?"

Rokuro paused for a moment then asked "Are you by chance the duelist who is named Ghost? Your dueling style is the reason for my question" Henry smiled and said "Looks like you are familiar with my name but yes, I am Ghost."

As soon Rokuro opened his mouth the lights throughout the building started to flicker and the prisoners could be heard talking amongst themselves. Henry looks around outside of his cell and notices that the entire holding block is experiencing the same thing.

"Hey so I guess I might as well tell you my name, I'm Rokuro and my mission was to sabotage the Flames cult after I found out the main reason why they started this war. I used to be in the cult but decided to become a renegade and have information to relay but I needed to escape the cult without them catching any suspicion. So, I hijacked the portal so I can find the other renegades so we can stop both Apex Corporations and the Flames cult."

Henry smiled then said "Oh boy I think the whole picture is clear as day. As I fucked up both of our plans and got captured by Apex. Oh, and my name is Henry by the way also that punch you threw was terrible."

Rokuro laughed in the background as the entire building shook, startling the occupants like a disturbed bees' nesta few moments latera sound of an explosion that could be heard from a distance. The alarms screamed throughout the building and all of the radios from nearby guards exploded into a frenzy of screaming voices that could be heard as the guards scrambled throughout the facility.

"Henry the guards are booking it, this means that the Flames are here. We need to get the hell out of here, I need to check for anything to hot wire the force field!"

Both Henry and Rokuro franticallyscour the cells as the building continues to shake and explosions can be heard bombarding the compound nearby. The other prisoners in the other cells' screams negated all other sounds within the prison.

A few minutes of surveying the cells neither man can find any way to diffuse the force fields on their prison cells, but the electricity vanishes as a missile hits the building Henry and Rokuro were held in and knocked out the power, releasing all inmates into the fray.

Rokuro decides to check out his neighbor as he goes around the corner, he greets himself to Henry. "Well, we finally greet each other after our lover's quarrel." Henry smiled and surveyed his neighbor.

Rokuro's cell number says 191, about 6'5, has reddish brown hair, pale yellow eyes, despite his skinny body his arms show some muscle. Henry extends his hand "Looks like we are going our separate ways I guess or are we getting out of here?"

Rokuro accepts Henry's hand "Well I guess we pretend that fight we had didn't exist, two I know the layout of the prison. My dimension teleporter and dueling gear is located on the left side of this prison. You need to get your stuff in the right main hall from here. I'll meet up with you at gate zero. Check out for a room with Captain Cir on the door, the terminal will have the location for both your equipment and the directions for gate zero. Good luck."

Rokuro took off into the left hallway and Henry darted straight for the right hallway for any door or any marked signs for Captain Cir's door. As Henry ran down the light gray hall, passing by portraits of previous military officers and a couple of other wooden doors every few meters. Smoke can be detected in the hallway as Henry turns right and into the intersection with four dark brown signs with arrows on each wall. Henry stopped to take a breath while inspecting the signs; the first sign pointedright labeling "Right wing clinic/Interrogation room", the second sign pointed up labeled "Commander and Captain domains'' Henry ignored the other two signs as he bolted into the Commander/ Captain corridor to locate his objective. Henry's eyes scoured the hallway for the door, a few minutes into searching and fancy gold trimmed brown door with a plaque. Henry approached the door; a grin broke through his face and the plaque revealed "Captain Cir" in gold letters imprinted on it. "Ah, there is your room. Now it's time to find my shit and get the hell out of here." AsHenry complained to himself.

Henry invited himself into the room and closed the door. Henry took one second at the room, it was filled with red and gold walls, a large wooden deck with a black and white marble top with a terminal, a mini bar on left hand side, next the bar on the left had a wall full of swords, assault machine guns and 3 dual disks which 1 was gold and the other 2 had bronze and gray silver, on the right side of the door 3 black metal lockers with labels on each one. The lockers had labels:"Ammo", "Gun parts/duel disk parts" and the last locker labeled "Ten deck platter". "Several large paintings can be seen around the room depicting monsters I have never seen before and what is with that painting behind the desk? And also what the hell is with this ten deck platter locker? Actually not going to ask."Henry questioned himself as he approached the desk with a large black swivel chair next to it.

Henry smiled as he sat in the chair and began to hack into the terminal. Henry searches with haste within Captain Cir's terminal for his missing equipment and the location of gate zero. Henry managed tolocate his equipment in the armory in the intersection that he ignored earlier was in there in a locker labeled "P-137". This terminal was able to unlock the locker from here, then stopped grinning as the report attached to his prisoner number mentioned that his deck was disposed of. Henry decides to secure a route by locking out most doors and unlocking the lockers for him to pillage. Shortly after he found gate zero and a pathway to it and a file labeled "Relocate K.O.T.F deck" he opened up the file to see what information it holds.

File# 301 Secured Flames target. Move to site 502 Fusion Base

Reported 5 months ago by Commander James L.

The enemy fortress that contained this deck is finally under Apex property; it was used to destroy several platoons under Commander Jefferson. The Flames desperately threw everything at Jefferson during the battle in Fort Dark Ridge in the synchro dimension. The deck was in General Pylare's possession at the time of this report. She nearly erased the fortress with the deck's might. This deck held an unknown summoning type and researchers are uncertain to examine the energy it releases. Many tests concluded it was unstable and dangerous for all users. General Pylare at the time fled back into the Flames Pyramid mobile fortress after the loss. We called the deck the "King of Fiends" then sealed it off in a gold deck box with a ruby gem on it, when pressed opens the top and if pressed again will close it. This box will be under Captain Cir's protection until our fusion base named Fort Fusionfall is constructed.

-Reminder side note from Capt. Cir "The hidden compartment for the box is behind my desk. Push the black switch under the third drawer which the painting will slide right to reveal the golden metal deck box."

Henry decided to take a look at this infamous deck that was mentioned in the report. He opened the third drawer, ran his hand under the drawer to push the switch. A soft click can be heard as the painting behind Henry slides left to reveal the golden deck box with a red ruby. He jumps off the chair and immediately picks up the box but immediately feelsits weight but not a burden to carry around.

A deep, raspy male voice whispered, "Will you be my champion of fire?" Henry jolted as he scanned the room for the voice but nothing appeared. Henry let out a scream "Who's there?!" An explosion can be heard nearby as it shook the room and formed a large crack on the left side of the door as smoke leaked into the room. Henry recomposes himself then hooks the gold box on his belt loop and races out the door towards the armory to recover his items. As Henry approaches the intersection, a person in a red and white striped cloak with a fireemblem on the left shoulder wearing a black mask with no facial expression, only eyes slits can be seen. Henry slows down as the individual looks towards Henry's direction and begins a slow walk to him. Henry's thoughts began to race as the figure approached him "Oh shit, I don't have a dual disk. Fuck me, plan b then."

As the figure approached Henry, the figure said "Judging your outfit you're just an Apex prisoner, get out of my way i have higher priority then deal with you." Before Henry can react, the raspy voice cries in Henry's head "Raise your hand and blast him away!" Henry feels his body moving instinctively and dark blue flamescombusted out of his hand! The man screamed as the fire consumed the man as he collapsed onto the floor with only a half of the duel disk, a charred deck and a burned corpse was left behind. Henry's body was saturated with fear from what just transpired. A moment later the voice shouted in excitement "Finally! You have no idea how long I wanted to exercise my abilities on those bugs! Now tell me your name Champion of Fire! I want to know who wishes to use my destructive powers!" Henry shouts "We don't have the time to chit chat-" Henry gets cut off as he sees the hallway darken into a dark blue shade and a dark blue fog shrouded 3 yards from Henry.

"Oh you meant to say Now we have the time to chit chat hahahaha! I like you better than my previous owner!" Henry sighed for a moment then replied "Ok, I'm Henry Xiolong but I do have a nickname which is Ghost and would prefer that instead. Now who are you and what are you?" The voice chuckled and a dark blue flaming skull appeared in front of Henry. Henry jumped away from it in shock from the sudden appearance.

"Behold, witness my form! You can call me….Pyre! And all I wished for is mayhem and freedom from those pests called the Flames cult and Apex corporation."

Henry, still cautious, questioned the levitating skull "I expected more malicious intent or some sort of world ending plan you have but why do you want me to free you and abuse your power? What's the catch here? Possession or something like that?"

Pyre scoffed and answered "Fool what use of destroying the world if the fun is messing with the world. That is boring and bland to destroy this wonderful world! And also yes the only malicious intent is screwing over whatever is in our path! You choose to use me as you see fit! And plus you need me to save your world from both Apex corporation and the Flames cult who are actively looking for destructive and corruptive cards that Vactra Hellsear created and scattered. Oh and the possession part? That would depend on how desperate you are."

Henry, confused, asked "How are you even alive if that is the case?" Pyre laughed "Hahaha! Me? Alive?! Hahaha! No, I'm a spirit who is sealed into this deck and my powers were split into several pieces and now I need them all to reach full power to do as WE Please! And not to mention you will need me at your prime to prevent the destruction of everyone else too, this is why you're free to abuse my power. As long as we both benefit in this war then we both are satisfied!"

Henry facepalmed himself and sighed for a moment. "Ok, so you love screwing over anyone and anything, ok check, now you want me to use you at every moment's notice, check then want me to look for the most destructive cards that exist and use them like it's a bag of candy? What's next, you want to be my guide too?" The skull stared at Henry for 20 seconds while holding back an unstoppable giggle.

Both Pyre and Henry combusted into laughter like mad for a while. Henry recomposed himself, then spoke first "So you just straight up told me what you want out of this, from every damn person i met in the past begged and pleaded for their lives would just sugarcoat deals to escape any situation. But not you apparently, you just want to go around with me and start wrecking everything to my heart's desire? And also as long as I don't end all creation or whatever you are fine with me as your champion?"

Pyre's flames went from dark blue to neon red and a burst of cheer erupted from him with one word "YES!" Henry smiled slightly and asked "Alright, get us out of here and let's recover my clothes and duel disk at the lockers that those bastards relinquished from me." Pyre seemed pleased and the dark blue fog disappeared as the hallway returned back to light gray while Pyre disappeared.

In the moment of realization Henry furrowed his eyebrows and mutter angrily "I just realized how fucking huge this complex is…fuck me, i wish i have map. Whatever, let's hope that the path I set up earlier is the correct one." As Henry returns to the intersection, he inspects the other two signs. As his blue eyes gaze at the two signs labeled "Main Entrance/ Gate Zero" towards the left but the other sign below this one also pointed left labeled as "Company Teleport/ Prisoner Lockers".

Pyre's voice commented "Wonder what fun goodies can we find in the "Company Teleport, that might be our ticket out of here but I don't think that is wise without some allies. Your thoughts Champion of Fire?" Henry took a breath and answered "Well atleast we are going in the same direction for my stuff. And yes some allies would prove easier but as for the teleport thing, not sure if we can use it under these circumstances."

As Henry continues to walk down the hallway. The scent of smoke and gunpowder grows stronger and occasionally the building rumbles as it is pelted with explosions. The hallway slowly grew in size as a sign not too far to read closes in and it reads "Main Active Document area/ Prisoner lockers" pointing to the left hallway and the opposite side the other sign says "Main entrance/ Exit". But at the end of the hallway another figure in a black and white armor looks light and mobile. The person has a white blank mask but with a black sigil of an upside down question mark with a U-shape over it and they are staring right at Henry in a defensive stance with his duel disk out. But looking down around the figure, several bodies surrounded him and a small puddle of red glistering liquid. Henry can guess this figure's intentions. As Henry silently sneaks towards the figure, intending to break his neck but the figure starts rotating towards Henry's direction. Henry then decides to book it towards the figure and before either of them can make a successful move, a type of dark blue and purplish shadow puppet dragon comes from the right side of the intersection from Henry's perspective. The monster itself had its mouth wide open and attacked the figure and Henry didn't have time to stop the momentum of his body as he flew right into the monster, sending both the monster and the figure straight into a wall. A three crashed into the wall and smashed onto the floor which did result in the figure in the monster's mouth slamming shut with a sickening crunch and Henry had the wind knocked out of him.

As Henry tried to catch his breath but Pyre warned Henry "Female on your right side, I sense the energy from this monster radiates also matches the lady's aura. Get up, this is a bad situation, Champion of fire!" Henry tries to get up as he struggles to even lift his body or even breath, as the dark purple and blue puppet dragon gets up from the floor as a sound of liquid dripping onto the floor. Henry tries to look to his right but his vision is blurry but the figure starts to walk towards him and he hears the puppet dragon growling right next to Henry's left ear, its breath smells like iron and sulfur. Henry as goans he compains in his head "Why does this happen to me every time i get a simple to complete mission it winds up a fucking mess. And it also ALWAYS involves a massive complex, I swear my check is not enough for this shit." The footsteps approached swiftly towards Henry on his right side. A female voice spoke with authority "Who are you and who the hell do you work for? I'm asking once or my Shaddoll Dragon will have an entree out of your body!" The dragon shoved its claws into Henry's chest to prevent him from moving but at the same time giving Henry a difficult time breathing.

"Ok, just hold on, I need air!" The pressure from the dragon lessened but still heavy. Henry takes a deep breath "I'm not from here, I was attacked by whoever is this Apex Corp and something cult. I am unaffiliated with neither faction. I just want to go back home and that is it while escaping with both my life and dueling equipment." He stops for a second to catch his breath but the pressure on his chest disappears and a hand appears in front of him. He took it and felt the force pull him up against the scaly dragon.

Henry's eyes began to adjust and slowly made out shapes and unblurred colors. "Well you seem to be telling the truth and judging from that attack earlier, you did try to take down that cultist but crashed into my Shaddoll Dragon instead. Well give me a sec here and give me your hand please?" Henry extends his hand out but at the same time he can see her clearly now. She has green eyes, long dark blue hair, about 5'9. Very pretty and fit. Seems like she hits the gym every other day. The women grabbed Henry's hand and a surge of energy, colors of several shades purple twisted and turned. Henry feels his body saturated with this energy and he can't think or react as his body shakes and vibrates.

The woman enters a void, a black room with her floating in the middle of the room with a dim light illuminating around her as if she has the spotlight of an idol. She raises her hand and memories begin to manifest around her, information she gathers from hostile take downs to saving people. The several duels, wins and loses, good and bad. Velvet then sees this man's last mission and his last stand but a strange card on his field, an xyz monster. Velvet asks herself what is an xyz monster? Velvet shakes her head and moves on to the next memory. This man's name is Henry or to some "Ghost" was his nickname and another victim in this war between Apex and the Flames cult. An unexpected but foggy memory appears before her and sees a moment when Henry touched a golden deck box. The memory blurs for a moment and refocuses into the moment Henry is running down the hallway towards the cultist and seeing her dragon take the cultist down while being kicked into the wall. Velvet isn't sure what this means but whatever that deck box contains is messing with this memory in particular. She wonders about it but decides to leave it alone for now. As the void around her disappears and reality slowly appears around Violet, she then lets go of Henry's hand.

Henry immediately backed off, away from Violet. He looked at her and shouted "What the hell did you do?! What was that?!" Velvet calmly answered his demands "First off, that was an ability I can use due to my bonds with my dueling spirits. They allow me to use their abilities to further my own. Two, I was probing your memories to see if you are truly an ally I can trust for our rebellion. I have a hand in resisting both major players in this war. I'm looking for more people to recruit into our posse and also looking for my allies that got captured. From what I saw in your head, you are more than welcome to join us with your expertise in dueling and can give us an edge in battle. Oh and the name is Velvet Lovel." She extends her hand out towards Henry. He looked at her hand for a second and decided to take her up on her offer. Henry slowly walks up to her and accepts her hand. "Well I suppose we got some people to pick up from the daycare center don't we?". Velvet smiles and responds "Sure if you ever wanted to see how this "daycare" takes care of its inhabitants. Well since those security locks got released from the locker room we should go and grab our supplies then go help the others."

The unlikely duo rush towards the lockers while the dragon follows them to the locker and sits to the left of the door and scans the rest of the area for intruders. Both Henry and Velvet with haste raided the green lockers from opposite sides of the wall of lockers for supplies and belongings.

Velvet warns Henry "Hey if I see you peek around that corner while I'm changing, I can and will break your skull inside out!" Henry smirks and counters "Last time I checked if I wanted to do that, you would have seen my intentions from my brain that you probed without my permission. Now excuse yourself and go get ready. It's bad enough that you women take years to get ready." Velvet laughs and retorts back "Oh really if my memory serves right you did let me take your hand therefore you gave me permission you 5th rated duelist. The real question is why did you let me take it? Have you ever met a girl that makes the first move before?!" Henry, now smiling and shaking his head, then mocks Velvet. "Oh I'm sorry that I can't get a decent look at you while we are both in a building that is on fire, bombarded by missiles and two sets of bad guys who really want to compete against me for your phone number!" Velvet blushes while violently laughing as she puts on a purple and red blazer with long black pants.

She equips herself a brown leather backpack with rations, medical supplies, camping supplies, 1 book for camping, the other book about how to survive in the wild, two plasma based blades with black and gold hilts in case they need to cut through obstacles or people if needed and finally her Shaddoll deck in her gold and green duel disk. Velvet comes around and takes a good look at Henry as he is dressed in a long black trench coat with a sky blue and white logo on his left shoulder of a sword with a lotus in the background, worn out blue jeans and a pair of black and red heavy boots. Then she sees the worn out duel disk with faded out sky blue and black colors with deep scratches and scrapes coated the entire duel disk.

The two check each other out for a moment before Velvet averted her eyes away and asked "So uhhh…by what chance what was your job before you got thrown into the slammer?" Henry snaps himself out of it and looks at Velvet directly and responds "Well sounds like you didn't read the rest of my brain. Well since you asked I was mostly a card hunter and a bounty hunter and I worked with a guild called Blue Harvest. And you Velvet?" Velvet took a moment about Henry's job, she never heard of this type of job before then she answered solemnly "I am a teacher and a duel instructor for high school students. I mastered my degree in dueling, deckbuilding and summoning your duel spirits. That last skill was from my original home dimension before I got banished from it. You see I used to live in the fusion dimension before I found myself in the synchro dimension and lived there for 10 years. I'm 21 and taught many students for 3 years." Henry then steps closer to her and pats her shoulder "Heyyou don't have to tell me if you're not ready and plus we just meet too. So let's not throw all of our eggs in one basket ok? We first should get more acquainted and also find your friends ok?" As Velvet's eyes water, she looks into Henry's eyes and says "Right, we should get going and find my allies and get the hell out of here. Let's get to the reception deck. It might have ids of my allies and locations along where their equipment is too. Shall we?" The duo exited the room and Shaddoll Dragon follows behind Velvet to her right side as the party strolls towards the reception desk. Henry notices as he looks to his left, seeing the main lobby a mess. Broken concrete white pillars, bodies scattered throughout the floor, smoke leaking through the ceiling vents and the opaque slider doors covered in scratches and blood.

Henry asked Velvet a question "Hey if you can summon your duel spirit they can do many actions like you did earlier like attacking and retrieving items right?" Velvet turns around and Henry notices a very sparkling set of eyes accompanied with a lively smile on her "Oh you have no idea! Yes they can be used for combat, collecting items, carrying out orders to the best of their ability and some can even talk but that depends which monster can in the first place. But yea unfortunately the enemy found this knowledge and used it for destructive purposes. But it has its own down sides. If I need to duel, my monster will be unsummoned and I have to be conscious, also it can be draining too. Oh not to mention both you and your monster share eyesight, so what we don't see is a factor too and if your bond is strong enough they can even give you special abilities too like earlier for example." Henry looks back at the sliding doors and sees what possibly made those claw like marks on those doors. As Henry does a double take on the lobby he spots a small fire on the left and the pillars are coated in deep gashes. Henry shakes his head for a moment before hearing something else.

Sounds of someone dashing towards them on the other side of the sliding doors. Henry alerts Velvet "Hey I think we might have company!" As the sliding doors open a familiar sound can be heard. "Ring, Ring, Ding" Both Henry and Velvet knew what it was. The man screams as he falls onto all fours and turns around and a massive blue monster with two claws, a dark silver abs and dark blue bat wings smashes through the doors and wall. The monster looks at the man and swoops down and cleaves the man's head clean off and fades into a thick black smoke which then disappears.

Velvet unsummons Shaddoll Dragon as it disappears; both Henry and her readies their duel disks. Henry had no idea what his deck does or plays but with his skills, he should be able to pull a miracle. What was left of the entrance revealed a pair of figures who strolled right in. On the left wearing a pink and black outfit like a biker gang, dark short pink hair with a color matching duel disk and tan skin is a woman and to the right was is a dude in orange and black biker gang outfit, short orange mohawk, both ears with black plugs, a nose ring and a gothic style duel disk with green and silver. Both about late 20s.

Henry kept eye contact and slowly leaned right to whisper into Velvet's right ear "Hey whatever happens from this point forward, we plan accordingly ok?" Velvet nodded. The biker girl looks towards Henry and Velvet in a cocky manner "Hey honey, we got more clowns to pick off. Are you ready to wreck some more Apex skulls?!" The man smiled and readied his duel disk and respond "Oh fuck yes, we got all day anyways. Lets show these fuckers what we are made off!" Henry takes out a coin "Heads or tails you fuckers?" The girl responded back "Heads you brainless mutts!" Henry flips the coin. "Well, looks like luck is with you today. You're up first dipshit." All duel disks activated and said "Decks shuffled and ready, life points: 8000, duel type: Master." All players shouted in unison "Duel!"
