"So...where do we find Delg and Angmarl?", Ice asked as he looked at the map.
"Well...I'd say the Ancient Forest. That's our best shot.", Ace answered. "We've played enough video games to know that portals to final boss are usually in old forests."
"Seems like we know where to head next. So let's get a move on!" The group made their way to the forest, and found a grove with two pillars. "I'd say we've found our entrance. So where's the guys we gotta take down?" Angmarl slowly slithered on the ground as a shadow, and slowly rose behind them.
"Close than you think!", Angmarl hissed as he fired a blast of magic at them! The group dodged just in time! "You may try to get our keys, but you will meet your end here!" Delg then appeared out of a swirl of darkness reading a book. "Care to join in on the fund Delg?" Delg looked at Angmarl and shook his head. "Fine! More for me!" Angmarl fired a flurry of blasts at the group! Each time the frequency of blasts only increased!
"This is insane!", Ace screamed. "What's next out of this guy?!" Angmarl sneered at hearing that.
"I'm glad you asked! Dark Hole! AAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Angmarl let out a crazed laugh as he summoned the spell!
"But that'll take us all out!", Ice shouted! As Dark Hole grew and began to suck them in, another spell cancelled it out!
"WHAT?!" Angmarl turned to see where the spell had come from. "DELG?!" Delg sighed as he closed his book and lowered his hand.
"I can't let you do that Angmarl. I need them.", Delg said.
"What?! Traitor!"
"Traitor? I was never on your side to begin with. Did you think Kuraz made that spell himself?", Delg asked. Angmarl went wild!
"I WILL DESTROY YOU!" As Angmarl charged, Delg flipped through his book.
"This should do." Delg cast a barrier spell that blocked Angmarl's attack! Angmarl kept pounding away at the barrier!
"Hey Angmarl!", Red Dragon yelled! Angmarl turned and was met with a scaled fist to the face! "Wow. I didn't think that'd work!" Angmarl rose to his feet and snarled. Angmarl then pooled some dark energy into his hand and shot a concentrated blast at Delg's spell! Destroying it!
"Now I can-!", Angmarl was cutoff as Red Dragon Archfiend whacked him with his tail!
"How come everybody forgets I have my tail?", Red Dragon Archfiend mused out loud. Angmarl growled as he rose again. "Man. They're just as lousy as the monarch cards in the game. They need a tribute just to use their effects. And even then they can only use it once for the whole duel." Angmarl got to his feet again. "They're tenacious. I'll give them that."
"Unfortunately.", Delg added. "Especially considering how hard it was to seal them. Would you care to end this?" Red Dragon Archfiend nodded. Angmarl charged at them, and Red Dragon Archfiend destroyed him in a single flaming punch! Angmarl then faded away into nothing. Leaving only his key in his place. "Now that that's out of the way..." Delg turned to face the group, and they prepared to fight. However, Delg reached into his coat and pulled out a key similar to Angmarl's. "I believe you'll be needing this." Delg tossed both keys to the group, and Ace caught them. "I'll be off then."
"Wait!", Ice called out. Delg stopped and looked to the group again. "What do you mean you weren't on their side?"
"Have you ever noticed what types of monsters my brothers were?", Delg asked. Ace nodded.
"Rock, pyro, aqua, winged-beast, thunder, and fiend. Why?", Ace asked.
"Kuraz and I are a warrior and a spellcaster respectively. An oddity among the monarchs. And because of that, we could walk among the people of the land easily. And by seeing the world as they lived, we saw all the pain most of our brothers had caused. Kuraz was set on making sure the people would not know such suffering ever again. He then came to a decision. We would seal the other monarchs away. While Kuraz battled them, I worked behind the scenes to create the spell that would banish them. Kuraz wanted me by his side in being credited as a savior, but I declined. Every light needs a shadow, and I was more than happy to help from the shadows. Kuraz deserved the praise. He fought the others. And as time passed, we knew there was no longer a place for us in this world. So we ourselves slumbered. I hibernated in a book while Kuraz took to a life among the people. That is, until our brothers revived. Go. Defeat Caius and bring an end to this. Before he unleashes Five-Headed Dragon. Oh! And one more thing." Caius cast a spell, and a green glowing circle appeared on the ground. "You better use that save point. Farewell." Delg vanished in a swirl of darkness. The group walked onto the save point and saved their game. They then used the keys on the pillars to open the portal to Caius's domain. Ace took a deep breath as they prepared for the final battle.
"Alright. It's game on, or game over..." They walked into the portal. Where the lair of the final boss awaited them.
