Ville Maurel:
The Warrior Faction was celebrating. They had won a great victory and had finally been able to capture the Fortress of Redcliffe and turn leader Teagan into a crystal. With the fall of Redcliffe, that was the end of the most powerful faction in the Bufferlands and now the path towards the Spellcaster territory was open. Warrior Faction banners had been placed around the castle and Alrik was assigned some of the Warriors to remain and hold the fortress. With the capture of Redcliffe, now the Warriors had a path that would lead them straight to the Spellcaster Territory and when they won a victory at the fortress of Andoral's Reach, then they would be in Spellcaster Territory. After the war had been going on for a while as a stalemate, now it looks like the Warriors had the upper hand.
Despite the victory, Commander Meredith was fuming. They had not captured as many people as she wanted. Very few people had been turned into energy crystals and the other two Ice Barrier Dragons had been taken from her. Sure she had turned Teagan into a crystal and taken one of the Ice Barrier Dragons but there were still two left. Now Meredith was blaming the person who failed her.
Two Warrior Faction soldiers dragged the person who Meredith blamed for letting the people escape Redcliffe. The Warrior known as Rylock "Do you know what you've done?" Meredith snapped "Your failure has allowed the Water Faction to escape here with the last two cards I need. You've failed us for the last time Rylock. Because of you, our plans are now at risk!"
Rylock looked very worried now. Her eyes were filled with fear as she could see just how cross Meredith was "Commander, please forgive me, I tried my best. But those dragons were too strong for me. None of us have faced a duellist like that."
"Even so, we are the Warriors" Alrik sneered "Nothing stands in our way."
Meredith smirked "And since you have failed us multiply times, it means you must be punished this time." She held her duel disk high over Rylock which started to glow.
Rylock widened her eyes as she realised what Meredith was about to do "Commander, please no!" she begged "I've served you loyally for years, I would never betray you. Give me another chance, I can help you get those dragons back."
Meredith stared at Rylock for a few seconds in silence until she broke it "Failure means punishment" she stated "No exceptions" the light then engulfed Rylock who then vanished and a crystal fell from the duel disk and into Meredith's hand. Meredith turned around and showed the rest of the Warrior Faction the crystal "This is the result of what happens when you fail me multiply times" she stated "I expect that you all improve for our upcoming attack on the Spellcasters. You deserve a rest for now but remember my warning because I will not to tolerate any failure when we are so close to victory in this war. Am I understood?"
The Warriors all answered yes in fear before Meredith turned around and walked away. When she was gone, Karras and Alrik looked at each other "Well Rylock wasn't that great anyway" Karras stated
"She was weak" Alrik agreed "She didn't deserve the position she had and her loses prove that. But we're strong and soon we will have total control over this world with the Warriors on top."
Karras smirked but looked worried "I agree with our plan but I will admit that I'm worried about this Dragon Duellist. The Dragons are a strong type of monster and are very rare and this duellist who had beaten two of our best warriors in just one turn is a major threat."
"Doesn't matter" Alrik sneered "She will fall just like every duellist falls. Every duellist has a weakness that we can exploit and we just need to find that weakness." Alrik then left leaving Karras alone.
...
Away from Redcliffe, Solona and Evangeline had taken the survivors from Redcliffe alone the hills. They had managed to save most of the civilian population from being turned into crystals but the entire militia of Redcliffe was gone and the only duellists left were Evangeline and Solona. There were a few beginners in the group but they stood no chance against a warrior. It was getting dark but with Redcliffe still being close, they couldn't stop for the night as the Warriors could pick up their trail and attack in the middle of the night. They didn't take the road as the Warriors could easily catch up with them so they would have to travel across the hills to find a place.
Evangeline walked alongside Solona as they led the survivors away "You really helped save many of these people" Evangeline stated "If it wasn't for you then many of them would have been left behind in Redcliffe and turned into crystals."
Solona looked at Evangeline "Your people have lost everything" she stated "How are you going to rebuild from this?"
Evangeline smiled "As long as there's hope, we will rebuild. Everyone has hope that one day the Warrior Faction will stop their rampage and I believe that day is close."
"The Warriors are now one step closer to taking over this world" Solona stated "That makes them look closer to winning."
"But many of them are arrogant and over confident which makes them likely to make a mistake" Evangeline smirked "We can use that against them in the next battle and unlike Redcliffe, the attack won't come as a surprise."
Solona looked at Evangeline "And just where are we going?" she asked
"The only place where we can go now" Evangeline stated "We are going to the Spellcasters themselves at the fortress of Andoral's Reach where we can warn the Spellcasters and get these people to safety."
Solona looked a bit worried "And how do we know that they'll help us?" she questioned
Evangeline sighed "We don't but we don't have any other choice, besides that fortress will be the Warrior Faction's next target so we need to get there before they do." She looked at the people "And if we keep up at the pace we're going, we'll be there by tomorrow. The quicker we get there, the quicker we can rest. I know that everyone's tired but if we rest then there's the risk that the Warrior Faction will reach the Spellcasters first or they catch up to us."
Evangeline and Solona carried on leading the survivors away but going slowly so that they wouldn't tire out.
...
At the Venatori headquarters, General Samson walked into the room where the Elder One was along with Livius and Gordian "Master, I have some bad news to report?" he stated with worry since the Elder One hated bad news.
The Elder One glared at Samson, no one could see his face under his dark hood but his red eyes glowed with anger "And what is this news?" he demanded
Samson sighed "Denam has reported that the Warrior faction has taken Redcliffe but we don't have the girl. She escaped during the attacked. Denam knows because she beat one of the Warriors leading members known as Rylock."
The Elder One let out a loud growl before throwing a chair aside causing it to smash to pieces "I am beginning to run out of patience!" he hissed "I must get my hand on the girl and the cards!"
Livius got up from his chair "Master, every time we try and capture the girl, something happens which allows her to escape. So maybe we should think of something else."
The Elder One glared at him "Like what?" he demanded
Livius smirked "Instead of going to capture the girl, we should make her come to us." He stated
...
In the Brecilian Forest, Jaden along with Theorn, Chazz and Fairbanks were close to the place where the Freemen were using as their headquarters. Alexis and Aristide had remained behind at the camp to help look after the camp. Fairbanks had come with them as he wanted to be part of this because there was someone he was after that had caused his people a lot of problems. The headquarters was an old manor house known as Ville Maurel, a former estate used by nobles before it was abandoned many years ago. Now the forest had claimed the house as the garden was overgrown with weeds and there building had vines all over the walls.
"This is the Freeman headquarters" Theorn stated "General Maliphant is inside and he has several guards on the outside."
"That bastard Duhaime is here too" Fairbanks snarled as he saw a giant of a man standing guard "He's caused my group so many problems, he doesn't care for anyone other than himself. I'll take him out, you can take care of the other guards but Duhaime is mine."
"How many guards are there?" Chazz asked
Fairbanks looked at the place "I can see three including Duhaime. I'm not sure how many are inside though but it seems that most of the guards have been pulled away with Ser Auguste. We can sort him out later but right now, we need to capture this place so my people will have a safe place to stay before you leave to find your missing friends."
Theorn added something else "We should separate the guards, that way they won't gang up on us."
"Good idea" Chazz stated and he watched as Duhaime sent one Guard to a storehouse "I'll go take care of that one while he's at the storehouse."
"Good luck Chazz" Jaden stated as Chazz got up and left. Jaden then looked around, he hadn't duelled in some time and he wanted to get involved. He then saw the other guard go around the other side of the manor "I'll go after that one while he's over at the other side of the manor"
"I guess that leaves Fairbanks and me to take care Duhaime" Theorn stated "Good luck Jaden."
"I always have luck on my side" Jaden stated as he left.
Fairbanks watched as Jaden left "I see he's full of energy" he stated
"Jaden always loves duelling" Theorn stated "He's skilled but can get reckless at times. Anyway, we should go after Duhaime now that he's alone."
"Agreed" Fairbanks stated and he and Theorn prepared to confront the man who had caused so many problems for Fairbank's people.
...
The Freeman Guard who had been sent to collect supplies was in a storehouse to collect supplies for the road. This guard had his orders and he was worried, when they started they believed deeply in their cause but now, they had begun to collapse and now a new group was plotting to take control of their quest. Well soon Maliphant would deal with them and work alone like they did before. But then the Guard felt someone behind him and turned to see a short boy with spiky black hair and a smirk on his face.
"Hello" Chazz smirked "I hope you're ready to take on the Chazz." He activated his Duel Disk and took a fighting position.
...
The other guard was over in another area collecting something else. In order for the Freemen along with the Venatori to power their Duel Disks to crystallize people, they needed a lot of power and in many old ruins were powerful magical crystals used by the Ancient Dragon Empire. The Freemen had found one in a ruin from the forest and Fairbanks was planning to use it to break away from the Venatori. The guard had been sent to collect it and prepare it for moving out to the new camp. But just after he loaded the crystal onto the cart, he turned around and saw a brown haired teenager nearby.
"Who are you?" he demanded as he activated his Duel Disk.
"The name's Jaden Yuki" the boy said "And it's time to get your game on" he activated his own Duel disk.
...
Theorn and Fairbanks saw Duhaime standing nearby and were ready to confront him. But Duhaime quickly turned around with his Duel Disk already activated "So, the leader of the vermin had finally grown enough courage to dare attack us in our headquarters!" he sneered
Fairbanks narrowed his eyes "Maybe to you!" he hissed "But the things you have done are unforgivable. And now it is time that you Freemen pay for what you have done to not just my people but the others who live in the forest."
Duhaime laughed "This forest belongs to us now" he stated "We may have decided to cut our ties to this Venatori that supported us before but now we're going our own way."
"The Venatori?" Theorn gasped "The ones who kidnapped Solona?" he glared at Duhaime "How well do you know these Venatori?"
Duhaime laughed "Not very well" he admitted "Only Maliphant knew them personally but I did hear one of them mention this girl called Solona who had been spotted in the Warrior Capital of Kirkwall before escaping. But none of us have any idea where she is now. Why do you ask, she you girlfriend?"
Theorn glared at Duhaime but Fairbanks stepped in front "Enough of this!" he hissed "We came here to take you out while we had the chance but to get inside, it seems that we'll have to deal with you and for the crimes you've committed against my people, this fight is personal to me so I'll take you on" Fairbanks activated his duel disk.
Duhaime laughed "That's fine by me" he stated "I'll defeat you like the vermin you are. And once you're gone, we'll take out you camp and turn everyone there into crystals."
"You'll have to defeat me first!" Fairbanks hissed
Duhaime sneered "I'll defeat you easily, I'm very strong and better than a wimp like you." He activated his own Duel Disk.
"We'll see about that" Fairbanks countered
"DUEL!"
Fairbanks: 8000
Duhaime: 8000
"Since this is my turf, I'll take the first move" Duhaime sneered as he drew his card "And I'll start by activating the spell card Fires of Doomsday which allows me to special summon two Doomsday tokens in defence mode" two small black spirits with a green eye appeared on the field (Level 1 Attack 0 Defence 0) "And since I played this spell, I can't summon anymore but I can set so I'll throw one monster facedown and one card facedown and then I'll end my turn."
"My turn" Fairbanks drew his sixth card "And I'll play the spell card Double Summon which allows me to summon twice this turn so I'll summon Wattcobra and Wattgiraffe to the field." A red and blue snake along with a Giraffe that were both covered in lightning appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1000 Defence 500) (Level 4 Attack 1200 Defence 100) "Now I could take out your facedown monster or your tokens but I have a better idea, both my monsters can attack you directly so go, first Cobra will attack" the cobra jumped forward and bit Duhaime on his arm making him groan.
Fairbanks: 8000
Duhaime: 7000
"And now Giraffe will attack" Fairbanks added and the Giraffe charged and knocked Duhaime aside with his charge.
Fairbanks: 8000
Duhaime: 5800
"It's not over yet" Fairbanks smirked "Now their abilities activate, since Giraffe attacked, you cannot activate spell or trap effects until the end of this turn so that facedown is useless. And Cobra allows me to add a Watt monster to my hand so I'll add my Wattfox to my hand. Then I'll throw one card facedown and end my turn."
Duhaime narrowed his eyes "You may have taken out some of my life points but you still won't win!" he snapped as he drew his next card "And first of all, I'll flip my facedown monster, Stygian Street Patrol" a horned demon riding a bike in the shape of a monster with headlights that glowed red like eyes appeared on the field (Level 1600 Defence 1200) "And then I'll sacrifice my two Doomsday tokens and they can only be tribute for a Dark monster but that's okay because now I summon Diabolos, King of the Abyss in attack mode" a large dragon with a fiendish look appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2800 Defence 1000) "And now, my Street Patrol will attack that Cobra" the motorbike started and then sped into Cobra and struck the snake who groaned before shattering.
Fairbanks: 7400
Duhaime: 5800
"And there's more" Duhaime smirked "Since my Street Patrol has destroyed one of your monsters, his ability activates do now you take damage equal to your monster's level times by 100." The rider threw a black fireball which made Fairbanks groan.
Fairbanks: 7000
Duhaime: 5800
"And I still have my Diabolos ready so now he will destroy your Giraffe" Duhaime smirked and the dragon fired a blast of Black fire which engulfed the Giraffe and burnt him into a crisp.
Fairbanks: 5200
Duhaime: 5800
"And that will do it for my turn." Duhaime finished.
Fairbanks narrowed his eyes as he was about to draw his card but then Duhaime interrupted him "Hold up, my Diabolos' effect allows me to look at the card you're about to draw and then I can decide whether to place it back on the top of your deck or onto the bottom of your deck." Fairbanks showed him the top card on his deck "The spell card Wattcine, well that card would allow you to gain more lifepoints which I cannot allow so that will go to the bottom of your deck." Fairbanks placed the card on the bottom of his deck.
Theorn groaned "That means that Duhaime can predict Fairbanks moves if he lets him keep the card or remove his useful cards" he stated
Fairbanks drew his next card to start his turn "I'll start by activating my facedown card, Wattcannon, now once per turn when a level 4 or lower Thunder type monster is summoned, you take 600 points of damage. Next I summon Wattfox to the field." A small fox with lightning surrounding the body appeared on the field (Level 2 Attack 800 Defence 100) "And since he's a level 2 thunder monster, you take 600 points of damage." The cannon fired a shot at Duhaime.
Fairbanks: 5200
Duhaime: 5200
"Next I play Monster Reborn to bring back my Giraffe" Fairbanks added and the Giraffe returned to the field "But since my Fox is a tuner monster, I tune my Wattfox with Wattgiraffe." The fox turned into two rings which surrounded the Giraffe and turned into a beam of light "I Synchro summon Wattchimera in attack mode." A large multicoloured Chimera appeared on the field (Level 6 Attack 1400 Defence 1200) "And just like my Cobra and Giraffe, he can attack you directly." The Chimera charged and knocked Duhaime backwards causing him to groan in pain.
Fairbanks: 5200
Duhaime: 3800
"And now Chimera's effect activates" Fairbanks added "Since he dealt damage to you, I can send one card in your hand back to the top of your deck." Duhaime sent one card to the top of his deck "And I'll end my turn by placing one card facedown."
Duhaime growled as he drew his card which he had sent to the top of his deck before "I may not be able to do much but I can still cause damage to you!" he hissed "That Chimera may be a Synchro monster but it's still weaker than my monsters. Street Patrol, attack that Chimera." The motorbike began speeding towards the Chimera.
But Fairbanks wasn't worried, he was smirking "You've just fallen for my trap" he stated "The trap card Reinforcements, this gives my Chimera an extra 500 attack points until the end phase of this turn." Chimera howled as he gained power (WC Attack 1400-1900). Now because Chimera was stronger, he pounced on the motorbike and threw it back at Duhaime where it exploded.
Fairbanks: 5200
Duhaime: 3500
"Well I still have one more attack" Duhaime countered "Diabolos, destroy that Chimera" Diabolos blew a blast of black fire which engulfed and destroyed the Chimera.
Fairbanks: 4300
Duhaime: 3500
"And now I end my turn" Duhaime smirked.
Theorn watched in concern "Oh man" he said to himself "Fairbanks may have more life points but Duhaime's monsters are stronger than anything Fairbanks has. I just hope that Jaden and Chazz are doing better than Fairbanks in their duels.
...
Chazz was indeed doing much better with his duel against his Freeman soldier. Chazz currently had his XYZ Dragon Cannon along with the spell card Frontline Base in play while his opponent had Despair from the Dark.
Chazz: 600
Freeman soldier: 2500
"It's my turn soldier" Chazz hissed as he drew his card "And I summon V-Tiger jet in attack mode" a yellow and green fighter with a tiger's head appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1600 Defence 1800) "And now I special summon W-Wing Catapult thanks to Frontline base" a blue platform appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1300 Defence 1500) "And now I'll combine them to form VW Tiger catapult" Tiger's wings folded in and then attached itself to W-Wing Catapult to form one monster (Level 6 Attack 2000 Defence 2100). "But it gets even better because now I combine VW and XYZ in order to form the great VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon." The two monsters combined to form a large walking machine (Level Attack 3000 Defence 2800).
"Big deal!" the soldier stated "I'll still have life points from your attack."
Chazz smirked "That's where you're wrong" he stated "you see once per turn, I can banish one card on your field and I choose your Despair." The Freeman soldier gasped as his Despair vanished from the field. "And now, VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon, attack him directly and end this duel!" the main cannons fired and threw the Freeman soldier back who yelled in pain as he hit the ground.
Chazz: 600 (Winner)
Freeman Soldier: 0000
Chazz deactivated his duel disk and looked at the soldier "Well, I guess I better catch up with the others." He said and then he ran off.
...
Jaden was also doing well against his Freeman soldier. Jaden currently had Elemental Hero Sparkman on the field while his opponent had the zombie monster known as Lich Lord, King of the Underworld (Level 5 Attack 2400 Defence 1200).
Jaden: 900
Freeman Soldier: 1200
"Well it's my turn now" Jaden stated as he drew his card
"And you'll need it because next turn, my zombies will finish you off." The soldier smirked
Jaden looked at his card and smirked "Sorry, but there won't be a next turn" he stated "I play the spell card Graceful Charity which allows me to three cards as long as I discard two." Jaden drew three cards and discarded two from his one, one of which was Elemental Hero Necroshade. "Next I equip my Sparkman with the spell card Spark blaster, now three times, he can switch the position of one of you monsters so your Lich Lord will go witch to defence mode" the zombie was forced to kneel down. "And thanks to sending Necroshade to the grave, I can now summon Elemental Hero Bladedge in attack mode" the golden armoured warrior appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2600 Defence 1800).
"What was the point of switching my monster to defence mode?" the soldier questioned
Jaden smirked "Because when Bladedge attacks a monster in defence mode, the difference is dealt to you as damage" he stated which made the soldier gasp "Now Bladedge, attack with Slice and Dice attack." Bladedge swung his arms which had blades attached and slashed Lich Lord and destroyed him and threw the soldier backwards.
Jaden: 900 (Winner)
Freeman Soldier: 0000
"That's game" Jaden stated as the soldier collapsed
"Well done Jaden" Chazz called and Jaden jumped and turned around as he hadn't noticed Chazz was there.
"Hey Chazz." Jaden called "I see you've won your duel."
"I did" Chazz replied "Now we better go and see Fairbanks and Theorn" he stated and he and Jaden went over to the Ville's entrance where Fairbanks was.
...
Theorn stared at Fairbanks and Duhaime and he was worried. Sure Fairbanks had more life points but he was losing monsters fast. Theorn knew that Fairbanks had no monster that could beat Diabolos since all the Watt Monsters had low attack points.
Fairbanks narrowed his eyes as Duhaime began to mock him "Face it Fairbanks, no card in your deck can save you now." He stated "You should just give up now while you can."
Fairbanks shook his head "I never give up, no matter how much the odds are against me. I will carry on fighting while I still have life points."
"Don't forget, I get to see your next card before you draw it" Duhaime smirked and the next card was revealed to be Card of Sanctity which made him smirk "That card will help both of us so you can keep it at the top of your deck."
Fairbanks drew the card "Well it may help you as well but I need to fill my hand." He stated and both Fairbanks and Duhaime drew until they held 6 cards "And now I will activate the effect of a card in my hand, Thunder Dragon."
"Wait, Thunder Dragon?" Duhaime gasped
Fairbanks smirked "Did you really think that I only had Watts in my deck, I needed a few more powerful monsters." Fairbanks stated "And now by discarding him, I can add two more copies to my hand. But it gets better because now I can play the spell card Polymerisation which allows me to fuse both Thunder Dragons in my hand so that I can summon Twin Headed Thunder Dragon to the field. The two green dragons appeared in spirit form before being sucked into a portal and then a large red lizard with two heads appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2800 Defence 2100). "And I'll also equip him with spell card Thunder Whip which gives him an extra 300 attack points." A large whip was attached to the dragon's claws (THTD Attack 2800-3100). "And I'll also summon Wattpheasant in attack mode." A blue pheasant appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1000 Defence 800) "And since I just summoned a level 4 Thunder type monster, my cannon deals you another 600 points of damage." The cannon fired which made Duhaime growl in anger.
Fairbanks: 4300
Duhaime: 2900
"And now my Twin Headed Thunder Dragon will destroy your Diabolos" Fairbanks added and the Dragon fired a blast of lighting from each head which struck Diabolos and destroyed him.
Fairbanks: 4300
Duhaime: 2600
"And now my Pheasant will attack you directly" Fairbanks stated and the Pheasant swooped through Duhaime.
Fairbanks: 4300
Duhaime: 1600
"And I'll end my turn by throwing one card facedown." Fairbanks finished
Theorn smiled and then he heard a noise and turned to see Jaden and Chazz running towards him "Hey you two" he greeted "I see that you've completed your duels."
"We have" Jaden stated
"How's Fairbanks doing?" Chazz asked
"It was bad for him but he's turning this around now." Theorn stated "He still has half his life points and a good monster on his field."
Duhaime laughed which made everyone look at him "Sorry but I couldn't help but overhear your friends" he stated "True you may have destroyed my monster and summoned a good monster of your own but now I have a full hand" he drew his next card "Which means that I have all the cards I need to win this duel starting with the spell card Tribute to the Doomed."
"Tribute to the Doomed?" Chazz gasped
"Oh no, that's not good!" Jaden added
Duhaime sneered "No it's not. Now by discarding one card from my hand, I can destroy your Twin Headed Thunder Dragon." Duhaime discarded a card and soon the ground opened and began to swallow Twin Headed Thunder Dragon.
But Fairbanks also had a plan "That would have worked if it wasn't for this" he stated "Diffusion so now my Dragon separates back into the Two Thunder Dragons which I summon in defence mode." The Red two headed dragon separated into 2 green scaled dragons covered in lightning (Level 5 Attack 1600 Defence 1500).
Duhaime growled in anger that his plan had failed "Well then I play my facedown which I have kept for a while now, the trap card Sinister Yorishiro, now once per turn, level 5 or higher fiend monsters can be normally summoned without tributing. This means that I can summon Mist Archfiend in attack mode without activating his ability." A fiend with a lower body made of mist appeared on the field (Level 5 Attack 2400 Defence 0). "And now I will play the spell card Monster Reborn, this allows me to bring back the monster I discarded with Tribute to the Doomed, Darkest Diabolos Lord of the Lair." A massive dragon covered in red markings appeared on the field (Level 8 Attack 3000 Defence 2000). "And I'll equip him with Fairy Meteor Crush."
"Oh no!" Theorn gasped "Now when he attacks a monster in defence mode, Fairbanks will take damage."
"That's right" Duhaime sneered "Now Darkest Diabolos, take out one of those Thunder Dragons!" The Dragon sent out a blast of black fire that engulfed and destroyed one of the Thunder Dragons and knocked Fairbanks back.
Fairbanks: 2800
Duhaime: 1600
"And now Mist Archfiend, destroy that Pheasant" Duhaime added and the Archfiend turned into a cloud of red mist which whooshed around the Pheasant and caused the monster to groan before shattering.
Fairbanks: 1400
Duhaime: 1600
Duhaime laughed as Fairbanks fell to his knees "I end my turn here. But you may as well give up, this duel is over, there is nothing in your deck that can save you."
"That's not true!" Jaden shouted "A true Duellist never gives up, he always keeps going until the last card is played even when the odds are against you."
Fairbanks smirked "That's right" he stated as he pushed himself up "Our life points are nearly tied and while you have the upper hand with your monsters, I still have a chance." He looked at his deck 'I just have to draw the right card.' He thought and then he drew his card and smirked when he looked at it and laughed "Well, it seems luck is on my side, I sacrifice Thunder Dragon in order to summon Wattaildragon in attack mode." A blue scaled dragon appeared with blue lightning coming from his claws at the feet (Level 6 Attack 2500 Defence 1000).
Duhaime laughed "That can't defeat me" he stated "It's too weak to destroy my Darkest Diabolos and I'll still have life points if he attacks Mist Archfiend."
Fairbanks smirked "Too bad neither of those monsters are his target." He stated which confused everyone "I play the spell card Wattkey, now my Dragon, can attack you directly."
"Say what!" Chazz gasped in shock.
Theorn was in shock but happy "That means that Fairbanks wins."
"No!" Duhaime gasped
"Oh yes" Fairbanks smirked "Wattaildragon, attack him directly." The dragon swooped into the air and was covered in blue lightning and then blasted Duhaime with that lightning. Duhaime groaned and was thrown back and into a wall where he crumbled to the floor.
Fairbanks: 1400 (Winner)
Duhaime: 0000
"All right!" Jaden cheered "He did it."
Duhaime pushed himself to his knees and glared at Fairbanks "You'll pay for this!" he growled "Just you wait, you and your followers won't last much longer. When we strike back, you'll all suffer!"
"You won't be involved in that!" a voice growled.
Duhaime gasped in fear as several dark Shadows appeared before him "No, this can't be!" he gasped "You're supposed to be sealed away!"
"Your loss has allowed us to take our revenge" the Shadows growled and then they started swooping around Duhaime who began to clutch his head in pain.
Jaden, Theorn, Chazz and Fairbanks widened their eyes as the dark shadows surrounded Duhaime and then Duhaime glowed which made everyone cover their eyes and then when the light faded, Duhaime was gone.
"Wait what happened?" Jaden asked "Where did he go?"
Fairbanks thought for a second "Duhaime has captured and tormented many spirits and not just those from the people he turned into crystals. He's been into old ruins and he may have taken some of the angry spirits with him. Those spirits have been unleashed and have taken him back to their realm. I can't say that I feel sorry for him after what he's done."
Theorn looked at them "Well now that we've dealt with the Freemen here, we should get inside and deal with General Maliphant."
"Agreed" Fairbanks stated "Soon my people will be much safer."
The group then headed inside to deal with Maliphant.
Chapter Finished:
Notes: Well after a long wait, I've finally finished this chapter though I've split it into two because I was originally going to have the duel with Maliphant as well but with how long this duel was taking, I decided to write another chapter though it might be a short chapter.
