//------------------------------// // Shadow Realm Part 1 // Story: The Tournament of Destiny // by goldenrise365 //------------------------------// Gold had gathered Burst, Inferno, Steele, and Star into one of the empty classrooms. "Ok, what is going on?" asked Star. "Were still waiting for two." Ace and Thunder came walking in. "Ok, now that everyone is here I will explain." Gold looked at the guys gathered. "Awhile back I was visited by the spirit of the Pharoah`s brother. He told me about a user of dark magic known as Shade. He said that Shade would try and reawakening The Shadow Lord. Last night I tried to stop him but he somehow suffered. The only way to stop him now is with the Millenium items, and we are the bewildered of those items." "So we were all descended to save the world?" asked Burst. "Not just this world, but the monster world as well," said Gold. Suddenly Crimson Dragon materialized next to him. "We seek the help of all of you," said Crimson. Blue Eyes materialized next to Burst. "Brother?" The room fell silent. Crimson walked forward to Blue Eyes. "Its good to see you too brother. It has been quite awhile since we last seen each other." "Wait, you two are brothers?!?" asked a befuddled Burst. "Yes. Long ago we were separated a long time ago. I helped seal.The Shadow Master away. Unfortunatly I had to sacrifice my body to keep the seal, but the Pharaoh`s brother helped me become myself again. And now it's time to go against him. We will end this once and for all." When Crimson finished his speech the others were ready to help. "Lets rise to the occasion." Gold stuck his hand out and the others stacked their hands on his. "Let's duel!" ----------------------------- After the group's little meeting, Star was excited to help save the world. He wouldn't stop raving about it to Fluttershy as they walked home. "And me and the others will save the day." Fluttershy giggled at Star's excitement. "Well I hope that isn't a full time job." She kissed Star's cheek. "What a lovely site," said a ghostly voice. "Who's there?" asked Star. He stepped in front of Fluttershy to protect her from the unseen enemy. Suddenly the world around them became covered in a purple haze. The only thing the two could see was the sidewalk. A figure stepped out of the haze. The figure was a knight in black and dark grey armor,it's eyes were a dark purple, and it held a sword that had five duel slots on it. "Hello Star, prepare to fall at the hands of.... Nightmare Knight!" "Who are you?" asked Fluttershy. "I am one of The Shadow Lord's top generals. I am here to trap Star's soul in the Millennium Puzzel." Knight brought the puzzle out from behind him. "I suggest you come peacefully." "Not a chance. Gold already warned us about the Shadow Lord, and now I will reclaim that puzzel." Star pulled out his duel disk. "Have it your way," said Knight. A deck slot and cards materialized on the hilt of the sword. "Let's duel!" Star:4000 Knight:4000 "I'll start this duel off. I summon out Celestial HERO Reflector in defense mode," said Star. ------------------------ Celestial HERO Reflector ATT: LIGHT Level: 3 stars Type: Machine/Effect Card Text: Depending on what card effect your opponent activates will determine this card’s effect is activated: • Monster: By discarding 1 Monster Card from your hand, negate the activation of your opponent’s monster effect and destroy that monster. • Spell: By discarding 1 Spell Card from your hand, switch the effect to your opponent’s monsters. • Trap: By discarding 1 Trap Card from your hand, negate the card’s activation and destroy it.

It wielded a yellow lance and had a gold feather on his helmet. "And now that it's on the field, I can bring out two more of it." Two more warriors in white armor appeared on the field.

The figure was taller than either of the idealist. It wore a purple robe, black cape, and a dark grey crown. In its shadow grasp was a black staff with a purple jewelry on top. "Then I'll play Chains of Darkness." -------------- Chains of Darkness Continuous Spell Card Effect: Your opponent cannot activate monster effects. --------------------- Black chains wrapped around Reflector. "What did you just activate?" asked Star. "Just a little card to keep you from using your monsters effect. Now with him out of the way, I will remove one overlay unit from my monster to activate his effect." One of the orbs of light disappeared into the jewelry on the staff. Black energy surrounded the two monsters. Celestial HERO Reflector: 0 Nightmare King:1400 "That isn't good," said a worried Star. "Then I'll equip him my King with Piercing Lance." ---------------- Piercing Lance Equip Spell Card Effect: The equipped monster can deal piercing battle damage. ----------- A black lance appeared in Nightmare King`s other hand. "And this is worse." "Now my King destroy his Reflector," commanded Knight. Nightmare King brought the lance down and destroyed Reflector. The resulting shock wave pushed Star back a bit. Star:2400 Knight:4000 "That hurt more then I thought," said Star. "I'll end my turn with a face down." Knight placed another card down. 'I need a way to destroy that magic card of his, but he's probably protecting it with that face down. I need a way to bring down his entire field in one shot.' "I draw." Star added the new card to his hand. "Now I'll activate Pot of Greed." ----------------- Pot of Greed Spell Card Draw two cards. ----------- Star looked at his two new cards. A big smile grew on his face. 'Perfect.'

"And with that out of the way I activate Mystical Space Typhoon." --------------- Mystical Space Typhoon Quick-play Spell Card Target one Spell or Trap on the field, destroy that target. --------------- "Say goodbye to your Chains of Darkness." Knight`s spell was destroyed. "I see you got the cards you wanted," said Knight. "Lucky draw." "Its not about luck, it's about believing in yourself and your cards," said Star. "As long as you stay strong you will not be defeated." Suddenly the top card of Star`s deck began to glow. "What the?" "Just continue with your pathetic turn," said an annoyed Knight. "I'll set one monster face down, and one card face down to end my turn." "I draw. I activate King`s Rule." --------------- King 's Rule Spell Card Return one monster to your opponents hand. ----------------- "Now your monster returns to your hand." Star removed his monster from his duel disk. "Now, Nightmare King, attack him directly." Nightmare King brought down his staff onto Star. "Ahh." Star fell to one knee. Star: 800 Knight: 4000 "Star! Are you OK?" asked Fluttershy. "Yeah, I'm fine," said Star getting back up. 'I need to end this duel before I'm finished.' "That ends my turn. Make your last pathetic move weakling." "I draw." Star drew his new card. He took a look at it his card. 'Never seen this before.' "Get on with it." 'Let's see what this can do.'

She wore a blue leotard with blue and gold accents and bracelets. She had a blue faceplate and armor. The second monster looked like a humanoid lion. It had red armor with gold highlights. "And thanks to Divine Lord your King is now in Defense mode." Nightmare King dropped to one knee. "No, I am defenseless." "Not yet you aren't. Leo attack his King." Leo charged forward and sliced through Nightmare King, destroying him. "I was supposed to win!" yelled Knight. "Well you aren't. Valkyrie, Divine Lord attack him directly." "Say goodnight," said Valkyrie. Divine Lord launched her into the air. Divine sliced through Knight and Valkyrie came down with a fiery kick. "NOOOOOO!" Knight was sent flying into the purple haze. Star: 800 Knight: 0 The Millenium Puzzel flew to Star. "Sweet!" Fluttershy ran to Star as the purple haze vanished. "You did it Star." "Yeah I did." Then something clicked in his head. "We have to go tell the others." Before Fluttershy could say anything, Star was already running back towards the school. Fluttershy quickly followed. The two finally made it to the school, only to see it covered in the purple haze. "That's not good," said Star. "We should go in and see if we can help," suggested Fluttershy. "Yeah. Let's go." The two ran into the unknown.
