So here's a chapter to:
1) Introduce the Villains
2) Give me some breathing room to work on a chapter where the Heroes start their training before they go to enter the game.
To Toadstool89: Please try to give this one a read if you can get the time, and send me a PM if you get ideas what the monster looks like, if it speaks, and what it intends to do once it escapes the game. Again, sorry for not Adding any of your stories to my ReadUp App or Following any of them yet.
To Gamergirl101: Hope you read, and enjoyed, chapter ten of "Small Smasher, Big Battles" Keep the ideas coming. I'd really appreciate it.
Please forgive any mistakes I make with spelling, and this 'Stage', the Villains' descriptions.
Also, if anyone wonders about the way certain sentences come out, all I can say is: Go on YouTube and look up any episode of Seasoon two of Double Dragon that has the Shadow Khan in it. Listen to how he speaks, and you'll understand who's saying the sentences with what you'd say were too many camas.
Well, here goes nothing. *Cracks Knuckles*
Stage 4: The Villains' Lair
Deep within a secluded sewer system, a sort of secret hideaway had been constucted.
This structure, while believed non-existant to most innocent bypassers, was the hideaway for a great gathering of Evil, Black-Blooded, Heartless Villains. (Perhaps the greatest gathering of Villains of them all)
The room was sparse, empty, and seemed rather cold to anyone who would dare enter. Except for: From the design of the room, there was no way in, or out.
Yet from somewhere within the cold walls of the structure, there appeared beings from various sides:
On one side appeared six individuals in suits and ties.
From one, apparently hidden door, appeared four individuals clad in long black hooded robes.
From a spot in the same wall beside where the robed ones entered, stepped a man in white robes, with long silver hair, and odd eyes: Right green, left gold.
From one wall stepped several deformed fellows: One was all black, save his mane of long white hair, his gleaming red eyes, and the area of his face where a man would grow a beard and mustache. On his right arm ws a heavy red shield, with a golden head sticking out of it.
One looked like he was made of pure ice, save the red belt around his waist, and a small yellow barrel-like accessory on his wrist.
One wore shiny sliver "Armor" over his shoulders, with what looked like snakes on top, a T-shaped scope over his left eye.
One wore what looked like a blue marathon runner's uniform, and held a pair of shapr red weapons in either hand.
One had grey skin and silver hair, wearing dark green pants, and "Belts" over his shoulders loaded with grenades. Where the right arm would have been on a normal person, this fellow had a cannon.
From the floor, an oozy black substance seemed to take shape. It was all black, like the other fellow, bot this one had mismatched eyes, like the man in white robes: Right black, Left white with a gold iris.
There seemed a void opening in the center of the room. From it, a tall figure in a long black cloak and purple garb, with a long-nosed cat-like mask over his face, stood in plain view.
From the floor on the opposite side, there appeared a grey-skinned woman with long fiery red hair, wearing a long purple dress, with horns sticking out of her shoulders, veiled by her long hair.
"Who has summoned us here?" said the figure in the cat mask in his bold, airy voice. "I, Galactor, demand answers."
"You demand?" said the creature on the shield. "I, the great Shadow Khan, am the only one, remotely qualified, to make such threats!"
"Silence fool!" said the shadowy figure wearing the talking shield. "You are the master of no one in your current state. Especially not I, Shadow Master."
"You make one threat and you think you're king of the demons?" asked the white-clad man.
Before anyone could say more, two voices shouted: "Enough!" The villains turned toward what appeared to be a large mirror in a red frame. The glass seemed to distort, like rippling water, as two figures stepped into the room.
"Who are you?" asked the woman, Queen Beryl, the Shadow Master, the black fellow with the white eye, Dark Mist, and the man in white robes, Dartz.
"We're the ones who wear the masks," said the bold voice of a tall man. He and his shorter companion raised their hoods to reveal their faces: The tall one wore a red, ritualistic mask that covered only the left side of his face. The short one wore a similar mask, white though, and only covering the right side of his face.
Feeling he ought to add his two cents to the previous statement, another robed fellow removed his hood completely. He wore a red top hat, and a black and white striped mask over his eyes to hide the scars upon his face. While his eyes seemed to stare about the room, he for some reason, kept his face slightly downcast.
"We have gathered you all here," said a female voice from under the hood of a black sweatshirt, "because we have a proposition for you all."
"We need your help to capture a certain individual," said a male voice from beneath the other hoodie. "Help bring this one to us, and the world will be yours to divide up as you all see fit. Except for Texas of course. That, ALL of that, belongs to us."
"Show your faces. I tell you, we will only serve someone who's identity we know." said the gruff voice of the figure in the white mask. "I, Lumis, request you reveal yourself, Master Marik." [1]
From the side of the man in the top hat, the figure threw off his cloak and revealed his dress attire. He was a tan-skinned fellow with long, untidy spiky hair of platinum blond, dressed in black cloak, black pants, and black sleeveless shirt. [2]
"We are after the Royal Family," said the man in the hoodie. "We believe there is a 'Legend' that calls this person the 'Gold-Hearted Ninja' if we remember."
Queen Beryl stepped over to the Shadow Master.
"Send your warriors to the Moon," she advised. "I believe there is something there that protects the one these two," she pointed to the hooded couple, "seek."
"Trigger Happy, Countdown, Sickle," Shadow Master addressed his men. "find this person of whom these two speak." Then he turned to Icepick and added: "I'll need your skills in electronics Icepick. Build a machine that can send living beings into the confines of the Virtual world." [3]
"Of course Master," said the four warriors, before they each turned to complete their tasks.
"We're sort of masters of the Digiverse ourselves, the Big Five and I, Gozaburo Kaiba," said the bearded man in the red suit and tie. He waved his hand to indicate the Big Five behind him. [4]
"Good. Then you can be the first to get digitized, and help Icepick from inside the game." Shadow Master drawled.
You could almost feel the ones in the black hoodies grinning in anticipation as the other villains set to work.
Imagi-Nation: Castle Creatia
Jimmy was training the Heroes to meditate, and clear their minds. This had been going on for the past forty-five minutes.
Before that, Dirk and Aggie were teaching them to fight with boomerangs, and Link was teaching the rest swordplay, with help from Jimmy, and his twin brother Billy who they had met not long after taking the grand tour of the castle.
"Time's... up!" said Queen Serenity, who was watching from her throne. "All right. That will suffice for today. Now retire to your quarters and get plenty of rest."
Of course, Alysa and her mother had informed the rest of the group that they were following the clock by what time it was in Alaska on Earth.
In each bedroom there was a bed with a headboard beside a window. A nightstand with drawers stood beside the bed, a dresser stood on the side of the room opposite the headboard, and a closet door in the wall beside the dresser. On the other side was a door that led into a private bathroom.
"Wow," said Serena as she stood inside her bedroom doorway. Mny of the other Heroes would have to agree with her.
"Lights out at Nine Forty-Five, Alaska time!" called a partoling night guard in white uniform with red belt across his waist and one over his shoulder and chest.
Alysa's room
Dear Diary,
Made it to the castle in one piece, and training went well for the first day. Meditation seems like lots of fun.
I wish I knew who was after me, or why, and what the monster is that we have to stop inside the virtual adventure game. I vertainly hope we can do it before too long.
Love,
Alysa Goldheart
And again, as she did onboard the Moon Star Falcon, Alysa gently closed and locked her diary, opened her nightstand drawer, placed her diary inside, and closed it. She laid back on her bed and closed her eyes, slightly anxious for what training had in store for her tomorrow.
End Notes: So there's meditation and the villains make their first appearance.
I feel silly for not remembering that Icepick made a Virtual device in Season 2, Episode 2: 'Doom Claw'

[1] In the Gameboy Advance Yu-Gi-Oh: Dungeon Dice Monsters game, it's revealed that, as the game states: "Lumis has an uncanny habit of saying 'I tell you'"
[2] In my story "Battle City: The REAL End of the Tournament", Marik's dark side wore the black pants to match his shirt and cloak, and the Real Marik wore the light ones.
[3] Based on the episode I almosts forgot about, I figuree Icepick would have some skills in building with Electronics and such.
[4] Until recently it never occured to me that Yugi and the gang only ever faced the Big Five in Virtuality, and never in actual Reality. I was too busy realizing that:
The first time, when they fought those corporate creeps in "Legendary Heroes", (The Trilogy this is partly based upon,) Yugi's teammate was Kaiba. And the second time in Noah's Virtual World in "The Merger of the Big Five" Trilogy, Yugi was helped to defeat them by Joey.
Hope you all enjoyed, hope I don't have to rewrite too much, and please Read, Follow, Favorite, Review, and suggest ideas.
Cheers!
