Chapter 11: Wielder of the Poisonous Dragon
AN: Back with another chapter. I had a bit of fun since Predaplants are one of my favorite decks and I like what I did with Doku's deck. It's a shorter duel and chapter than usual but it gets done what it's supposed to get done. Nothing else to say for now so let's get right into it.

"Anyways, now that we're back." Doku said casually leaving Lisa confused. "I have to go and meet the leader to complete the deal. Wanna come along?"
"My aunt will freak if she found out I went with you." Lisa replied. "You know full well she doesn't like you."
"I know. She's a smart one." Doku said standing up. "Fine...It's just I don't like these type of missions!"
"Yeah, well deal with it. Lady Vernice gave you this job because you stupidly dueled against Julio when she said not to!" Lisa said scolding him. "Had you not Brutus would be dealing with this."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Doku said rolling his eyes at her scolding. "Whatever, I gotta go."
"Try not to piss them off too." Lisa said in slight worry.
"It warms my heart to know you worry about me so much." Doku said faking a sob as he hugged her causing Lisa to growl and grab his arm before dragging him to the door before opening it.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" Lisa screeched throwing Doku out the door and shutting it.
"Ouch." Doku muttered as he got up. "Guess I went a little too far but oh well it was fun." He said as he walked around to the side of the house where D-Wheel waited. It heavily resembled the D-Wheel that Kalin Kessler used but it was a deep purple with black highlights and lacked the symbols. He pressed a button and a compartment opened allowing him to grab a helmet. He held his hand over a small pad for a second before it started up. He got on the D-Wheel before driving off.
One hour later
"I'm almost there." Doku said to Vernice on a small screen. "Just need to complete the deal."
"Good." Vernice replied. "Do be careful. The leader isn't all that trusting of you and be sure to inform her I agree to the terms."
"Got it. Also, it's not my fault she isn't all that trusting." Doku replied. "Her men tried to jump me so I had to defend myself."
"You didn't have to make it into a Darkness Duel and steal their souls." Vernice said.
"You gave them back." Doku said dismissively.
"Doku!" Vernice snapped.
"Fine. I'll be careful." Doku said sighing as she hung up. "Geez." He muttered as he pulled up outside a warehouse where cheers could be heard. He switched off his runner and took off his helmet. Two guys that were outside noticed him and smirked as he walked over. "Hello. I assume you know why I'm here?"
"Yeah." The first guy said wearing a biker jacket that said Black Feather on the back. "Come in. She's waiting for ya." Doku nodded and followed them inside. "So...Mood?"
"She's in a good one." The second guy replied. "She's pretty much decided yes. All of the gang is fine with siding with you." He said as he led them to the center where several people were watching a duel. Several people noticed Doku's presence and waved at him as he passed by to the back where a woman about 20 waited on a table with two chairs. She had dark black hair that was rather wild and had it pulled into a high ponytail and dark red eyes standing at roughly 5'9. Her skin was pale not horribly so. She had a black jacket with the same writing on the back though hers had an image of a crow and wore hers with the zipper down revealing a dark red shirt. She wore black pants with matching biker boots with red lining. She had a re D-Tablet on her left arm. She was what one would describe as a cold beauty for sure. "Boss. He's here as you can see."
"Good. Let's get started." The women said gesturing for Doku to sit down. "Doku." She said her tone neutral.
"Merie. Have you come to a decision?" Doku asked his tone taking a rather serious one.
"Almost but first has your leader agreed to our terms?" Merie questioned.
"Yes. She's agreed that in exchange for you assisting us for our plans we in turn will assist you in defeating your rivals. She has also agreed to provide new cards for your gang and when our plans are complete you will have a special place in it all." Doku stated showing her a contract. "All you have to do is sign." Merie looked over it carefully before nodding.
"You have yourselves a deal." She stated as she signed the contract causing the members nearby to cheer. "Now...I want to duel you."
"Duel?" Doku said in confusion.
"Yes. I want to see how strong you are as a duelist and the power that you can give us first hand." Merie said rising to her feet. "Consider this a friendly duel and one to show our cooperation with one another."
"Alright. It's been awhile since I've had a duel." Doku said rising to his feet. "Plus I'd like to see first hand how strong you are." He said as she led him outside with her gang following her chattering excitedly.
Meanwhile
"Man I'm tired!" Neptune said as the group returned home and collapsed on chairs and the couch.
"Me too." Julio muttered. "Geez...That duel took more out of me than I thought."
"Maybe you should lay down." Noire said and Julio shook his head.
"Nah I'm not sleepy tired." Julio said. "More like the I just finished a bunch of homework and want to do nothing tired."
"Perhaps we can use this time to get to know you better?" Vert suggested.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Now that I think about it...We know hardly anything about you." Blanc said.
"Well what do you want to know? I got nothing worth hiding." Julio said.
"Ooh I got one! How'd you learn to ride that D-Wheelie?" Neptune asked.
"It's D-Wheel and I learned about three years ago." Julio answered. "Typically you have to take classes when you're fifteen or older in order to learn how drive one but my sister when she lived with us would take me with her to practice and taught me how to drive a year earlier. She showed me how to duel properly while on it and even a few tricks. My parents freaked when they found out. My mom in worry and my dad in excitement. Eventually they let me take the classes for real when I turned fifteen and naturally I aced them thanks to Karina. The only challenge I had to face was dueling against the instructor who is typically a part of the security force and if we win we get the license and the instructor was my dad." That caused their eyes to widen. "He personally volunteered in order to see if I was ready to ride a D-Wheel and was responsible. We dueled and I almost lost against him. Thankfully, Dark pulled through when I needed him and I won. He was so proud that on my sixteenth birthday he got me my own D-Wheel." Julio finished explaining.
"Wow. You went through all that just to learn how to ride a motorcycle." Neptune said in surprise. "Ooh I have another one. Those dragons how'd you get them? Kila said you got them from a friend."
"Well my sister gave me Scarlight as a sort of celebratory thing for passing my license exam because she noticed how much I liked him and she said I'd be better off using him than her." Julio said. "I'm not sure what she means but if she believes it than I trust her. As for Dark...Well Kila didn't tell the truth on that. It's a secret that we don''t tell others and I guess she wasn't all that sure we could trust you just yet. The truth is I don't know how I got Dark and the same goes for Dan and Clear Wing."
"What do you mean?" IF asked in surprise.
"I mean we don't know. We've had them for as long as we remember including their evolved forms. Not even our families know. As far as we know our dragons are unique." Julio said. "We've looked into it but that seems to be the case."
"That's strange." Noire said.
"Yessy." Compa said.
"But that's starting to change." Julio said. "That fusion dragon...The guy who used it is connected somehow. I have a feeling that soon we're gonna find out more about this. Now is there anything else you'd like to know?" Julio asked reaching for his water.
"Yeah out of all of us who do you think is the cutest?" Neptune asked causing him to spit out the water he was drinking. "Nice distance."
"Thanks but why that kind of question?" Julio asked alarmed.
"I agree." Noire said alarmed.
"You guys are curious. We almost never hang out with normal guys so we never get to ask these kinds of questions." Neptune pointed out.
"True. I must admit though that I'm curious." Vert said with a devious smile.
"I guess I can't argue with that." Noire muttered. "The only relatively normal guys we speak to are our guards."
"Any other guys we talk to are robots or pervs." Blanc muttered. "And sometimes both." Julio turned to IF and Compa who gave him apologetic smiles.
"Sorry but we'd be lying if we said we weren't slightly curious." Compa said apologetically.
"I am not!" IF exclaimed.
"Anyways, who do you think is cutest out of us?" Neptune asked again causing Julio to get flustered before he a car pulling up.
"Oh hey my parents are home let's continue this another time." Julio squeaked getting up and running to his room.
"Dang it." Neptune said pouting. "It was funny seeing him get all nervous."
"Is that why you asked that?" Noire demanded.
"Partially but I was genuinely curious." Neptune answered.
"We really shouldn't force him to answer that kind of question though." Vert stated. "After all we've all known each other for barely a week."
"I know but it's fun to tease him." Neptune said as Julio's parents and Koneko entered through the front door. "Heyo!"
"Oh hi Neptune." Koneko said happily. "How was the duel?"
"Intense! We won but that Lisa girl didn't make it easy." Neptune said. "She was insane. She did all the summoning methods during the whole duel and on her last turn did all three."
"She sounds strong." Koneko said. "Hey wanna head to my room? I want to show you guys my deck."
"Sure. I'm interested to see what cards you use." Noire said getting up with the rest of the girls getting up.
"I'm gonna go show the girls my deck." Koneko said to her parents and Isaiah nodded in understanding and the girls went into Koneko's room.
"It is nice those two have gotten so many friends." Vanessa said. "Julio especially."
"Indeed." Isaiah said nodding. "His only friends for a while now were Kila, Dan, and Hazel right?"
"Yes." Vanessa said nodding. "He's really breaking out of his shell."
Back at the warehouse
Doku followed Merie out onto a open space where there were lights, stands and a large screen like you'd see at a stadium only smaller.
"Nice little setup." Doku said complimenting the small field.
"Thank you. We make do with what we can get." Merie said walking to the center of the field with Doku following while the gang took seats in the stands. She took out her deck and handed it to him with him doing the same allowing the two to shuffle each other's decks. When they finished they took their decks and placed them into their deck slots. "You can take the first move." Doku noddes and the two went to to opposite ends on the field with Doku on the right and Merie on the left. The two drew their five cards and stared each other down.
"DUEL!" The two said in unison.

Merie Hand: 5
"Next since I control a Blackwing monster I can special summon Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind from my hand." She stated special summoning another bird humanoid that was smaller than Shura. It had bright wide red eyes and green feathers on it's head with dark feathers on it's body. "Next under the same circumstances I'll special summon Blackwing - Kris the Crack of Dawn!" Another bird humanoid appeared. It had what appeared to be golden glasses over its face and a black feathered body. It wore red clothing on it's body.

"Spirit Barrier is a continuous trap that prevents me from taking battle damages so long as I control a monster. Tri-and-Guess only activates if we both have an extra deck. If we do I can declare an Extra Deck monster type and we both reveal our Extra Deck to each other and if I have more of the declared type I gain 3000 life points! I declare Fusion!"

"My turn. Draw!" Dok said drawing his card. "I summon Predaplant Flytrap." A plant like monster that was rather small appeared and hissed. "This card allows me to target a monster you control and place a Predator counter on it. I choose Kris!" A small green plant appeared and bit into Kris's wing causing it to let out a sound of pain. "If it's level is two or higher it becomes level one as long as that counter is on it." Merie scowled at that.

"Next I enter the Battle Phase and activate the Quick-Play Anti-Magic Arrows!" Doku declared. The spell showed several arrows flying towards a single card. "With this no spell and traps can be activates for the rest of the turn and you can't activate cards in response." Merie scowled even harder.

Spell/Quick-Play
Doku Hand: 1
"Now I attack Kris with Flytrap!" Doku declared causing the plant to rush forward.
"Why would you do that?" Merie questioned as Kris lunged forward only for the plant to give a cackle as it exploded destroying Kris causing it to let out a screech of pain as it disappeared. "What?!"
"You see when this monster battles an opponent's monster with an equal or lower level it's destroyed at the start of the damage step." Doku explained. "Next Cephalotus attacks Gale. Though they may be equal do keep in mind Cephalotus can't be destroyed."
"I activate the effect of Kalut in my hand. When a Blackwing I control is attacked I can send this card from my hand and have the Blackwing monster gain 1400 ATK until the end of the turn!" Kalut which like it's was a bird humanoid with black feathers on it's body but had yellow feather son it's head appeared above Gale and sent a surge of wind that allowed Gale to avoid Cephalotus's attack and smack it backwards with a wave of it's wings.

Merie's Turn
"My turn draw!" Merie said drawing her card and frowning. "I have no means to get rid of that trap or that monster yet...Best to take out that monster though." Merie thought to herself. "Shura destroy his Flytrap!" Shura lunged forward and sliced clean through the plant causing it to shatter. "Next his effect activates. Since I destroyed a monster by battle I can special summon a Blackwing with 1500 ATK or less from my deck but with it's effects negated. I'll special summon another Kalut!" Kalut appeared and soared down landing next to Gale. "Next I'll go to my main phase and do a little tuning. I tune my level three Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow with my level three Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind!" Gale turned into three rings that surrounded Kalut turning him into three stars. "Brandish the great blade of myth, heroic raptor!" A light shot through the rings. "Synchro Summon! Blackwing - Nothung the Starlight!" A large bird humanoid appeared. It had large black wings and wore black armor over it's black feathered body. It wielded a large sword which it swung with ease before entering a epic pose.

When I normal or special summon this card I can target a you control and place a Predator counter on it. Plus that monster becomes level one if it's two or higher. I target Nothung!"

"Now I activate the spell card Fusion Substitute! With it I can fuse monsters I control on my side of the field! I fuse Predaplant Cephalotus Snail and Predaplant Spinodionaea!" The two monsters floated upwards into a large portal. "Two ravenous plants with insect alluring fragrance! Combine and forge the savage plant who devours all!" The portal shot out light. "I Fusion Summon! Predaplant Chimerafflesia!" A large pink flower with withering green tentacles and two humongous mouths appeared letting a savage roar.

"Chimerafflesia's effect! Once per turn I can target a monster you control with a lower level than Chimerafflesia's and banish it! I banish Shura!" Chimerafflesia roared as it shot out it's tentacles and bound the Blackwing who screeched and struggled only for it be in vain as it was wrapped in tentacles and brought to one of it's mouths where it was stuffed into it causing the people watching to become sick. "Next I attack you directly with Chimerafflesia!" The plant roared as it lunged forward.
"Trap activate!" Merie shouted. "Mirror Force! ATK position monsters you control are destroyed!" Chimerafflesia collided with the barrier and roared in pain as it was sent backwards as the barrier sent of stream of lights that destroyed the plant and Banksiogre.

"During my Main Phase two I activate the effect of Fusion Substitute in the Graveyard. By banishing it I can return a fusion monster in the Graveyard back to my Extra Deck and draw a card." Doku said returning Chimerfflesia before drawing his card. "I'll set a card and end my turn."

It had orange feathers on it's head and yellow feathers that resembled a cape. However, the most eye-catching thing was the large spear it wielded. "Next due to Black Whirlwind I'll add Blackwing - Oroshi the Squall to my hand! Then since I control a Blackwing I can special summon it!" Another monster appeared though this one was much more birdlike than the rest. It had black feathers around it's body and seemed to have a red thing dangling from its beak.

Since this card was special summoned I can target a monster you control and place a Predator counter on it! I'll place it on Bora and thus lower it's level to one!" The counter appeared causing Bora to glow purple as it's level fell.

"Next I'll tune my level four Blackwing - Bora the Spear and my level three Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind!" Gale turned into three rings that surrounded Bora turning it into four stars. "Tamer of the creatures of Black Feathers descend and guide them through battle!" A light shot through the rings "Synchro Summon! Blackwing Tamer - Obsidian Hawk Joe!"

"It's not over just yet." Merie said surprising him. "Once per turn he allows me to target and special summon a level five or higher Winged Beast monster in my Graveyard! I'll special summon Blackwing- Nothung the Starlight!" The winged Blackwing appeared with a yell and a look of vengeance. "Next his effect activates! When he's special summon a monster you control loses 800 ATK and DEF and you take 800 damage!"

"My turn. I draw!' Merie said drawing her card. "I activate Allure of Darkness!" Merie said playing the spell which showed a strange monster in a black void.

"Then via the effect of Blizzard - the Far North I can special summon a level four or lower Blackwing from the Graveyard in DEF mode when this card is normal summoned. I'll special summon Blackwing - Bora the Spear!" The spear wielding Blackwing appeared holding it's spear in a defensive manner. "Next I'll activate Obsidian Hawk Joe's effect and special summon Nothung from my Grave in ATK mode." Obsidian Hawk Joe raised his claw and let out a calling noise and Nothung swooped down. "Next his effect activates dealing 800 damage and weakening your monster by 800 once again." Doku shrugged off the damage once more though he looked slightly angry at the sight of his monster being weakened to the point it could barely stand.

Doku LP: 4600-800= 3800
"Now I enter my battle phase and-" Merie began only for Doku to react quickly.
"Trap activate! Ridicule World!" Doku said playing the trap which showed five ghostly faces with gins surrounding a cowering man. "This card gives all monsters you control 100 ATK until the end phase but any monster ATK higher than their original attack can't attack!" Several ghostly faces appeared around the Blackwings laughing as if taunting them.

"I end my turn." Merie said glancing at her hand. "I have a Kalut in my hand...If he attacks I can use this to potentially overpower any strong monster he can bust out but...Why do I feel scared?"

Turn 11
Doku's Turn
Doku took a glance at his monster and felt anger flooding his veins. Seeing his monster so frail and weak was an insult he could not stand for! "My turn! Draw!" Doku said drawing his card which he looked at with a grin. "I activate the spell card Magic Planter! With it I send a continuous trap I control to the Graveyard and then draw two! I'll send Spirit Barrier!" Doku said sending the trap to the Graveyard before drawing two cards which he gave a grin at.
Magic Planter
Spell/Normal
Doku Hand: 2
"I then summon Predaplant Lilyzard!" Doku said summoning a green plant resembling a lizard with five tails that resemble flowers.

ATK: 1200 DEF: 1200
Level: 3 Dark
Plant/Effect
"Now it's time to have a little...Fun." Doku said with a grin that sent chills down the Merie's spine. "I activate the spell card Polymerization!" Doku said with a dark grin as the two monsters floated into the air around.
Doku Hand: 0
"I fuse my Predaplant Lilyzard and Predaplant Spinodionaea!" Doku said as the swirling portal appeared in the air above him and sucked the two plants into the portal. "Two beautiful flowers with an insect-alluring fragrance! Now become one, and from the hell beneath your petals, give birth to a new terror!" The porta flashed and from it emerged the purple dragon. "Fusion Summon! Appear! Poisonous dragon with hungry fangs. Level 8! Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!" The dragon roared sending fear throughout the members of the gang.
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon
ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000
Level: 8 Dark
Dragon/Fusion/Effect
"Starving Venom Fusion Dragon's effect activates! If this card is Fusion Summoned using monsters only on the field it gains ATK equal to all specially summoned monsters you control." Doku said grinning causing Merie's eyes to widen.
"A-All of them?!" Mere said as genuine fear went through her body as Starving Venom roared as it opened the four mouths on it's back and it's body began to glow a violent purple as it drained power from all four of her monsters. When it was done Starving Venom snarled and almost seemed to grin in satisfaction.
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon
ATK: 2800+2600+2500+2400+2400= 12700
"12700?!" A member shouted in shock.
"Boss!" Several members cried out in shock and fear for their boss who stayed silent.
"Starving Venom Fusion Dragon's effect activates! Once per turn I can target a level fie or higher monster you control and negate it's effects and then I can replace this effect with the negated monster's effect! I negate Blackwing - Armor Master's effect!" Starving Venom shot out two of it's mouths on it's back and they chomped into Armor Master who let out sounds of pain as it squirmed as it's power was drained by Starving Venom who roared in satisfaction. "Now Starving Venom Fusion Dragon attack and destroy Blackwing - Armor Master!" Starving Venom spread open the last of the two mouths on it's back and roared as red vein like tendrils shot out of them and spread out as several glowing green orbs began to generate before the tendrils shot out and wrapped around Armor Master before firing a large green laser that annihilated Armor Master and continued on nailing Meire who flew backwards and landed on her back
Merie LP: 4000-10200= 0
Doku Wins!
"Well that was interesting." Doku said as Starving Venom and the last of Merie's monsters faded away. He was much calmer now. "Not bad. You're strong. Those new cards we have planned to provide you will make you very formidable."
"I hope so." Merie muttered as she stood up.
"They will. I must be going now. I have to report to Lady Vernice." Doku said turning around and walking around the building to his D-Wheel. Getting on the motorcycle he pressed a button and a familiar portal appeared. He switched on his runner before driving into a portal before stopping in front of a large garage where several D-Wheels were along with many other people who noticed Doku and quickly saluted. "Cool it. I've told you many times don't do that with me. Brutus definitely but not me." Doku stated as he switched off his runner after parking it. "Is Lady Vernice in? I completed my assignment."
"Yes. She's in her room." A female stated quickly.
"Good. I'll head over then." Doku said leaving the garage and heading to an elevator.
Several minutes later
"Good work." Vernice said as Doku finished his briefing. "With them on our side it'll make our plans easier. Also, nice work defeating their leader in a duel and displaying our power."
"Thanks Lady Vernice." Doku said bowing. "It wasn't too difficult but I'd like a rematch when she obtains her new cards."
"Indeed. She will get much more powerful. Whether or not she'll be capable of defeating the young duelist remains to be seen however."
"I'd say no." Doku stated. "If he's capable of defeating Lisa then he's capable of defeating a good majority of our forces. I think it's time to start sending stronger opponents at him."
"Indeed. With the might of the CPUs and these new supportive cards he's become much more powerful. That's not even considering those dragons of his." Vernice said nodding. "We'll send one of our top duelist in time but not yet. I have a feeling there's more to be seen of what he can do."
"Very well." Doku said. "I'm gonna head to the mess hall. If you need me just call." Doku stated as he exited the room.
Vernice stared at the door he left through before sighing. "If y predictions are right...His power could go out of control. Out of the four of them...He's the frailest mentally...It'd be easy for him to become a puppet for him...Worst case scenario I take matters into my own hand." She muttered to herself.
Meanwhile
"Histoire!" A girl called out and Histoire turned around.
"Yes Nepgear?" Histoire asked.
"How long will the portal take?" Nepgear asked. "I finished getting ready."
"Not too much longer. It should be done early in the morning." Histoire stated. "Is Uzume ready to look after Planeptune for a while?"
"Yes. B-Sha and Big Neptune agreed to help too." Nepgear said.
"Good. In the morning I'll be able to send you through and hopefully, you'll run into Julio." Histoire said. "I will warn Julio and the others that you will be arriving soon."
"Okay. I'm gonna get rested for tomorrow. Good night Histoire." Nepgear said exiting the room.
"Good night Nepgear." Histoire sighed. "It's best I get rest too." Histoire said as she floated off to her own room.
In Julio's Room
"Geez...Kind of question was that to answer." Julio muttered as he looked over his deck. Thump and Dogoo were laying on the bed snoozing away. Julio sighed since he didn't feel tired one bit. "One of those nights huh?" Julio muttered to himself. There were teams where he just couldn't fall asleep so at times he had to rely on sleeping medicine to help him.
"Indeed it does." Dark spoke up.
"Hey...You've been quiet lately." Julio noticed.
"Sorry...That duel back there...I was losing it…" Dark said and Julio nodded.
"I could tell." Julio said. "To be honest so was I." Julio admitted. "Before we blacked out I felt myself snapping."
"I noticed. These emotions that you felt...You felt them from me. I was getting you enraged when you had no need to." Dark said guiltily.
"It doesn't matter. I know in time we'll be able to duel Dan and Lisa without losing it." Julio said confidently. Besides I know you don't do it on purpose. It's what happens when you're this close to your duel spirit right?" Julio pointed out.
"I suppose." Dark muttered. "Just make sure you take something to help you sleep."
"I will." Julio said rolling his eyes. "Honestly, you act like a dad at times."
"Say that again and I'll make you pay." Dark said before Julio felt his presence disappear. Julio began to look through the blank cards that hadn't shown themselves yet and noticed something.
"The hell? There's four more than there were before...Yep there wasn't this many." Julio muttered to himself. "Yet...These four...I feel more of a connection with them than any of the other cards here...Like I do with Dark." Julio studied the cards more and placed them down. "Whatever...Guess I'll go take something now." Julio said getting up and exiting the room while unbeknownst to him the four cards briefly gave off a black aura before fading away.
AN: This didn't take long at all. So sorry that this rather short but I never intended for this chapter to be all that long. I thought about adding another duel but decided against it. After all it's meant to show what Doku's capable of and give a bit more backstory on Julio. I can promise that the next chapter is gonna be longer though since next chapter will feature the arrival of Nepgear! So anyone who's fans of her will be happy to see her for sure. Now let's go into the reviews and we'll go into my decision to make Starving Venom have it's anime effects and the four cards at the end later.
Now regarding those chapter edits...Guess what idiot accidently deleted the files he had saved of those chapters? Yeah...Now I'm rewriting them essentially copying them word for word and making edits as I go...So yeah expect those edits to take longer.
Felipexza: Sadly, I'm not sure how that would work...Maybe I can do that as a sort of One Shot story? I definitely want to do something like that but I'll need to think about how Julio can duel against other protagonists.
FoxMan888: Already answered you in a PM but yes I was hoping to go for that type of title.
Guest: Hmm...I'll consider it but that is way down the road.
MaxGundam1998: Already answered you in a PM but it's worth answering here. I'll be introducing the lore behind these new monsters in the future so don't worry about it.
Alright let's get into Starving Venom.
The simple reason I chose the anime effect is that I wanted to make him more terrifying to duel against. The real effect is good but the anime one just gives me so much more to work with in a duel and the same goes for Greedy Venom.
Now the four cards you saw are custom cards specifically for Dark. Now two of them you can see by going to the review section but the next two are cards I'm working on myself. One of which is an Xyz monster that is a younger version of Dark Rebellion. When I looked into it there was an a counterpart to Starving Venom that was a weaker and younger version called Starving Venemy Dragon and Odd-Eyes has one that can be interpreted as a younger version in Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon. So I decided to make one for Dark Rebellion and Clear Wing. Now the second card is a rank down magic for Dark Rebellion. I'm not too sure about the effects they'll have but it won't take long.
Now these cards aren't going to appear until after I introduce the Candidates and possibly Uzume and Plutia. I may push those two back but we'll see.
Nothing else to say so let's do the review thing.
Please leave a review or PM me with your thoughts, ideas, and favorite parts. If you have any deck suggestions that I should use in this story than feel free to suggest it. Custom card ideas are also welcome and so are OCs. Any constructive criticism is appreciated but flames not.
Next Chapter: Candidate of Planeptune!
