Fall of the Dragons

"I'll check it out...you guys get the kids to safety. If it is those Hells Demons, then we need to be ready to run." he said, before hopping onto his D-Wheel. Before he left though, he handed over to Kai a Deck Box since he had toddled out of the house to see where everyone was going. "Look after these cards, and they'll look after you." Burdok said, ruffling Kai's hair before heading off towards the Ruins.

Burdok sped down the highways and alleys to reach the Ruins...he needn't go far towards them. At the foot of the bridge to the Ruins he saw two men on foot in dark robes. He slowed down and got off his D-Wheel, disengaging his Deul Disk from it. He slid his Deck into it as he strode up to the two men.

"You two mind telling me what's going on here?" he asked. One of the men started to chuckle.

"What's going on here? What's going on here is that you fell for the bait." the man on the left said still chuckling until the slightly taller one smacked him across the head.

"Enough with the laughter already...it's getting on my nerves." he said to his companion. He then turned to look at Burdok. "It's quite simple Burdok. Duel us, or what we just did to these Ruins will happen all over this city. Starting with your kid."

Burdok growled at the men. "No-one threatens my kid...nobody. I don't care if that is you Jaffa or you Ali under those robes. I'm gonna take you two down." he said activating his Duel Disk.

"So two on one...fair enough." the shorter one cackled, throwing back his hood to reveal that it was Ali. The taller one sighed and pulled back his hood to reveal Jaffa...except he looked like he did when Sindor had possessed his body...but the eyes looked different. They were still the yellow beast eyes...but they now had a tinge of a reddish purple to their edges.

They each pulled onto themselves their Duel Disks. Jaffa's looked like his normal Dark World Style Disk, except the Deck Slot looked like the jaws of a wolf and the field slot had claws on the end of it. Ali's looked like the Duel Tray (the bit where the cards go) looked like it was on fire. The main body of it looked like it had come straight from an entire asylums worth of nightmares.

"Let's duel." they all said at once.

(Burdok: 8000) (Jaffa: 8000) (Ali: 8000)

"I'll go first." said Burdok. "I play Ancient Rules to Special Summon my Tri-Horned Dragon. I then Normal Summon my Magna Drago."

A portal appeared and from it stepped forth the blue skinned spiked dinosauresque dragon. (2850, 2350) Next to it flew down a lithe red dragon. (1400, 600)

"Now I tune these two dragons together!" Burdok cried, his Mark giving a faint glow. Magna Drago started to spin around Tri-Horned causing what looked like two rings of firey light.

"From the ancient times I call you forth. Mighty beast, guardian of tri-force arise! Synchro Summon! Obliterate our foes, Trident Dragon!"

The rings had now encompassed Tri-Horned in a ball of fire, out of which now emerged three heads, a tail, and then wings burst through making the fire spread across the field. (3000, 2800)

"Now I play the Spell Card, Polymerisation to fuse the Blue Eyes White Dragon in my hand with the Trident Dragon on my field!"

A ghostly form of the legendary dragon of the Kaiba family appeared alongside Trident Dragon, before both of them were sucked into a vortex blending into one another as they travelled deeper into it.

"Where did he get a Blue Eyes?" demanded Ali. Jaffa sighed.

"It was obviously the card he got from winning the tournament."

"Now as I was saying, I fuse together my Trident Dragon and my Blue Eyes White Dragon." Burdok said, his Mark beginning to glow with a bright earthy light.

"Embodiment of the World's strength! I call upon thee to aid in my battle! Fusion Summon! Arise and strike down our enemies, Yamato Nai-No Terra!"

The ground between the three of them broke apart in the middle as a giant claw appeared, then another.

A giant serpent-like dragon pulled itself out from the ground, its golden armour glistening in the thunderlight. It launched itself into the air and hovered above Burdok, its three tails cracking like whips. And each tail ended in a serpents head. (4000, 3000)

"Now I place my last card in my hand face down on the field. Remember, Yamato gains 100 attack points for every dragon on the field and graveyards, and 200 for every face-down card of mine. Also so long as I have a face-down card, he can't be destroyed in battle."

Yamato roared as the ghosts of the dragons in the graveyards plunged into his chest. A golden beam of energy then connected itself the great dragon to Burdok's face down. (4000, 3000) - (4600, 3000)

"My move then." said Jaffa.

"Why do you get to go first?" asked Ali.

"Because I said so. Now then, I play the Field Spell Lycan Castle, and then the Continuous Spell Card Field Barrier to protect it."

The area around them transformed to resemble a dark castle courtyard, the only light coming from the full moon hovering above them. It then started to glow with a faint light as the Field Barrier took effect.

"I now call forth my Lycan Warrior. As you no doubt know Burdok, my Field Spell grants my Lycans incredible powers. It also increases their strength by 500 points at a cost of 300 defence points."

"Yeah I know," said Burdok as a man appeared dressed in ragged clothing, before he morphed into a werewolf like creature armed with a giant sword and armour. (1900, 1400) - (2400, 1100) "I remember cus this is the same set-up as you used against Jasmine."

"Who?" asked Jaffa looking a little distracted. "Never mind." he growled reasserting his focus, his eyes flashing that reddish purple. "Now I play the Continuous Spell Card Hells Gate!"

A giant gate with a skeleton hanging above it rose up from the ground behind Jaffa. It had an eerie glow and black mist was bellowing forth from the cracks in the gate.

"What are you playing at? The Master forbade us to use the Hell Cards unless needed." Ali said. "Isn't that what you said?"

Jaffa simply pointed a finger at Yamato. "He's called forth his Chosen Beast...I think they're needed. Now this card allows me to use any Dark Attribute monster as two sacrifices for any high level monster...now I play Double Summon."

Lycan Warrior looked over his shoulder at the imposing gateway to hell and started to run away as a storm cloud started to build above it.

"Coward.." Jaffa growled as a giant bolt of dark lightning crashed down onto the Warrior. "I sacrifice my Lycan Warrior to call forth my ultimate creature."

A red light burst from Jaffa's chest and straight up into the storm cloud. Jaffa heard his heart beating faster and faster, the Corrupted Wings Mark on his arm shone brightly in a dark red light. He clutched onto his chest and yelled out in pain.

"What are you doing Jaffa" Burdok shouted above the storm. "What the hell is going on?"

Jaffa took the last card from his hand and slammed it onto his duel disk.

"Come out my very soul, Hells Demon, Lycaon Hound of Hell" Jaffa cried in pain.

Lightning strikes began to pick up and crash down onto the ground. Jaffa rose up from the ground as a shadow like object started to seep out of his body where the light was attached. Still crying out in pain he closed his eyes. A strange ancient music started to be heard from the sky and red lightening struck the centre of the duel field causing a crack. A strange ancient tablet then started to rise up into the clouds. Jaffa then opened his eyes, now filled with red blood flowing out his tear ducts. The shadow burst out of his chest and up into the cloud. The shadow returned to the ground and began to take the shape of a massive humanoid wolf-like creature behind Jaffa who now was kneeling on the ground, the red light attaching him to this monster. The monster let out a mighty roar as two giant black bat-like wings burst out forth from its back. (4500, 3000)

"Lycaon! Wasn't that thing a Synchro monster last time around?" Burdok asked as the wind died down.

"That was merely a weaker version of the true demon." said Jaffa, his eyes still red his voice sounding as if it was trebled.. "Now then, I end my turn. Brother it is your turn to call forth your beast."

"With pleasure." Ali laughed insanely. "I call forth my Infernus Hellpawn!"

A dark flame appeared onto the field which then dragged pieces of the ground to create shoulderpads, legs, gauntlets, and a helmet. (1600, 0)

"Infernus Hellpawn? Never heard of that card." said Burdok. Jaffa looked at Ali in anger.

"The Master didn't give you leave to use that deck brother!" he shouted.

"It's quite simple really. The Infernus Cards are all Fire Attributes, but if Hells Gate is on the Field, they count as Dark Monsters, but are removed from play when sacrificed for a Hells Demon. Infernus Hellpawn has the power to call forth a new one from my deck, hand or graveyard when it's removed from play. Oh and my Tortured Baby is better than his Lycaon, cus my monsters summon counts as a Special Summon. Oh and by the way Jaffa, the Master simply said to use whatever means neccessary...and I thought these would be more fun than my old boring usual deck." Ali said with an insane grin.

"Okay...so you sacrifice that to call out your Hells Demon, and its removed from play...but it calls out another one of itself, so in reality you've summoned out a second monster at no cost...damn it." Burdok muttered.

"I sacrifice my Pawn for my Hells Demon - Tortured Baby!" Ali cried, raising his hands to the sky. There was another storm which crashed down on the firey monster destroying it. From out of the ground emerged a giant baby hand, then another as it dragged itself from below the ground. From the depths below emerged a giant baby with spikes emerging from various points in its body, its eyes filled with a demonic look...well its right eye. The left one looked as though it had been gouged out. (3000, 1800)

Then next to it appeared another one of the Infernus Hellpawns. (1600, 0)

Yamato glared at the two demons and gave off an almighty roar at the hellspawn. Lycaon howled back and the Baby wailed back at the dragon.

"I end my turn with three face-downs. Your turn Burdok." giggled Ali. The giant demonic baby giggled as well.

/Ali has one card in his hand/

/Burdok hand = 0/

/Jaffa's hand = 0/

(B: 8000) (J: 8000) (A: 8000)

"Well then I draw." said Burdok. I know what those Hellpawns can do...I think.. But I have no idea what those Hells Demons cards of theirs can do...given Ali's usual play style my safest bet would be to take out his Demon before it can use any abilities."Yamato, destroy that oversized baby!"

The ancient dragon gave a snort as if to say, "With pleasure!" He then took in a giant breath and blasted the baby into oblivion.

"I finish my turn with one face down." Burdok said placing the card he drew face down.

"End phase, and my Hells Demon - Tortured Baby comes back from beyond the grave." Ali said with a large grin.

"What?" Burdok yelled as the Baby crawled back from under the ground. (3000, 1800)

"I should tell you now Burdok. His Hell's Demon can come back from beyond the walls of death, if all the monsters in Ali's Graveyard are all the same attribute. Even if there isn't any in there." Jaffa told Burdok. He looked kind of annoyed by the Baby's prescence.

"And since Ali's deck is made up of nothing but Fire monsters I'm guessing..." said Burdok. "Crap." he muttered.

"My turn then I believe." said Jaffa. "Don't worry. I will try to make your defeat as swift and painless as possible. We wouldn't want to disapoint the Master by giving him damaged goods. Believe it or not, He would prefer us to be intact." Jaffa said, the last part shooting a glare at his brother.

Ali just cackled insanely. "Well...you didn't leave me much choice brother dear. You did stop me from bringing my baby back to the land of the living."

Burdok perked up at this. Jaffa spotted this and grinned a malicious grin. "Don't bother. I was using my Gravekeepers deck at the time. Unless you have a copy of Necrovalley in that Dragon deck of yours, I can't see any way for you to stop the oversized nappy here from coming back. Now then, I call forth my Lycan Runecaster to the field."

A scared looking woman in shredded robes appeared, before quickly morphing into a Lycan wearing mystic robes and wielding a staff. (1200, 600) - (1700, 300)

"When Runecaster is summoned, I can special summon a level four or lower Lycan monster from my graveyard. I choose my Lycan Warrior. Now I tune these two together."

"Arise from your slumber mighty lord...arise and rejoice in the slaughter! I call you forth...Lycan Deathlord!"

An ancient sarcaphogus appeared between the two Lycans, who then burst into stars which were then absorbed into the stone.

The lid opened and out stepped a grey furred Lycan dressed in archaic armour, covered in runes. It pulled out a massive blade from its back. (2800, 2600) - (3300, 2300)

"Time to say farewell to your dragon. My Hells Demon has the power to remove an opponents monster from the field if I remove from play a Lycan monster in my Graveyard. Don't worry, he comes back after two of your turns...but by then you'll be dead." Jaffa informed Burdok almost casually.

"What?" Burdok cried out as Lycaon howled into the sky. A ghostly form of Lycan Warrior appeared and was then devoured by the Demon. Lycaon then blasted Yamato with a beam of dark energy emanating from its mouth. The Dragon of Earth was sent into an alternate dimension. And away from Burdok. "Yamato!" Burdok cried as he caught a glimpse of where the Dragon was being sent. It looked like a scene straight from Hell itself.

"Now then, Deathlord attacks you directly." said Jaffa.

The armoured Lycan readied his blade for an attack against Burdok.

"I activate my face-down card. Negate Attack! This ends the Battle Phase." declared Burdok as a magical barrier appeared in front of him, blocking the sword.

"Hmph. You want to prolong the inevitable? Fine then." growled Jaffa. "Brother, show him the meaning of pain."

"With pleasure." said Ali as he drew. "I sacrifice my Hellpawn to summon my Infernus Hellknight!"

The rocky humanoid vanished as a dark portal opened up. From within it burst out what looked like version of Kaiba's monster the Rabid Horseman...but the armour was replaced with a darker steel, the fur on the lower half was replaced with stone, and the tail, eyes, armbands, hooves, and body cuirass (the straps that you see on the horse half of the monster) were all a dark green fire. And instead of an axe, it had a lance. (2000, 0)

"You'll get a real kick out of this. My Hellknight gains 200 extra attack points for every Infernus monster that is removed from play. And, once per turn, I can remove an Infernus monster from play so he can inflict half that monsters attack points to you as damage, but he can't attack when he does that."

The monster reared on its hindlegs as it grew in power. (2000, 0) - (2200, 0)

"I think I'll activate my face-down card now...City of Dis!" Ali declared. All around them Jaffa's field spell suddenly caught on fire, and another city could be seen emerging around them beyond the walls of the castle.

"What is this?" asked Burdok.

"It's my Trap Card, City of Dis. According to Dante's The Divine Comedy, the City of Dis is the sixth Circle of Hell, where all the heretics and such others go. For the purpose of this mortal world though it is a very special Trap Card. I can have it either count as a Continuous Trap Card or a Field Spell if there isn't already a field in play...but since my brother needs his castle for his pet dogs, I'll have to have it count as a Trap card...lucky you." Ali said with a grin. "As a Trap card form, City of Dis empowers all Infernus cards by an extra 200 points. Also, my Infernus monsters can attack as many times as I have cards in my Removed from Play zone. If there aren't any cards there, they can still get their basic attack however before you get your hopes up."

The Hellknight glowed with a dark light as the City of Dis granted it even more strength. (2200, 0) - (2400, 0)

"If this is just what the Trap card version can do, then I don't want to see what the Field Spell version can do." Burdok muttered. "I activate my Threatening Roar. You can't declare an attack this turn."

"Didn't you hear what I just said? I don't need to. First I'll have my Baby here deal you 1000 points of damage due to his effect. He can only do that when I have monsters of the same attribute in my Graveyard."

The giant baby breathed out a stream of fire at Burdok.

"Argh!" he yelled in pain.

"Next I'll have my Hellknight remove Hellpawn from play so that half of Hellpawn's attack points come out of your Life Points."

A ghostly form of Hellpawn appeared and was then pierced by Hellknight's lance, which then shot Burdok with a dark ball of fire emanating from the lance's tip.

"Aargh!"

"That's a total of 1800 points of damage from my monsters burned into you Burdok...surrender and we'll go easy on you." Ali demanded. Hellknight grew in power as another Infernus monster had been removed from play. (2400, 0) - (2600, 0)

(B: 6200) (J: 8000) (A: 6400)

"I...draw!" Burdok yelled in defiance. He had no cards on the field, only the card in his hand that he just drew, and was staring down two giant demonic monsters, a werewolf, and a demonic centaur...he really needed a lucky draw. He slwoly looked at the card he just drew.

"Foolish. No matter what card you may have just drawn, it won't save you." sighed Ali.

"I play the Spell Card Terra Quake!" Burdok shouted as he slammed the spell card into his Disk. The ground around them started to quake and split apart.

"What the hell is this?" Ali shouted.

"I have a vague recollection brother...yes I recall now! I made support cards for each of the Chosen Beasts, before I became a Hell Rider...something about insurance." Jaffa said as he held onto his head.

"What?" Ali yelled. "You only remember this now?"

"The Master wiped out a good many of my recent memories when he concluded his attack on me in our duel remember? Anyways...what Terra Quake does is simple, depending on your understanding of the card. If Yamato is Removed from Play or in the Graveyard, he can call forth the cards used to create it, including the cards used to bring out Trident Dragon...effectively he brings out Trident, the monsters used to bring out Trident and the other monster he used for Yamato...and destroy as many Spells and Traps as monsters summoned. Or he can call back his Dragon, and draw as many cards as we have monsters up to five cards." explained Jaffa.

"As much as I enjoy the idea of summoning out a horde of Dragons, I think I'll call back my Yamato Nai-No Terra from wherever you sent him!" declared Burdok as Yamato Nai-No Terra burst forth from a dark portal. The Dragon looked grateful to have escaped the dimension it had been sent to. Although it did look a little worse off. There were scars all over its body that hadn't been there previously. The Dragons in his graveyard emerged and united with Yamato, healing him of his wounds and increasing his strength. (4000, 3000) - (4400, 3000)

Burdok drew four cards from his deck.

"I now place three of these cards face-down on the field." A golden beam of energy connected Yamato to each of the new face-downs, revitilising him and increasing his power. (4400, 3000) - (5000, 3000)

"Now then, just to make sure this doesn't happen again, Yamato! Annihilate Lycaon! Futshen-Lung Strike!"

Yamato roared with fury as it dove towards the giant wolf-like demon. They each grappled each other's claws, whilst Yamato worked on wrapping itself around the Demon. Once Lycaon was completly encased, Yamato breathed fire straight into the Demons face and then ripped off its head with his fangs. The red line connecting Jaffa to Lycaon vanished as the Hells Demon vanished back into Hell.

"I must thank you Burdok. Lycaon is a bit of a drain on my strength. Had he remained I do not expect I would last for much longer...but that's now your problem." Jaffa said, wiping some sweat...or blood, from his forehead.

"What are you talking about?" Ali demanded. "He just got rid of your best monster! I'm pretty sure that Lycaon can't resurrect himself."

"There's more than one way to skin a dragon brother." Jaffa explained. "And I'm going to show you one of them, I draw! I activate the Equip Spell Card Lycaon's Vengeance!"

A great howl erupted across the field, and a shadowy form of the recently destroyed monster appeared and enveloped Lycan Deathlord.

"What does that do?" Burdok asked, with a very bad feeling that he wasn't going to like it.

"I'm glad you asked. I wouldn't be able to use this card if you hadn't destroyed Lycaon. Whenever Lycaon's in the Graveyard, I can equip this card to any Lycan Synchro monster on my field. That monster then gains 500 extra attack points for each level it has. Since Deathlord is a level 7 monster, it gains 3500 attack points."

Deathlord growled as he gained in power. (3300, 2300) - (6800, 2300)

"6300 attack points?" Burdok exclaimed. "There must be some kind of catch to this..."

"There is. During my End Phase I need to remove a Lycan monster from my deck from play along with one level from his level count, or I can give up 1500 Life Points during my End Phase to keep the equip spell on the field...I think you know which one I'll go for." Jaffa replied. "Now then, Deathlord attack his Yamato Nai-No Terra!"

The runic armoured Lycan readied his blade, leapt into the air, and brought it down upon the dragon's head.

"What was the point in that? You know Yamato can't be destroyed so long as I have a face-down card in my Spell and Trap zone." Burdok asked.

"My aim wasn't to destroy Yamato, it was to destroy your Life points, and your Dragon's shield. You still take the difference in battle damage...but now my Deathlord's ability kicks in. After Deathlord has attacked a monster, I can choose one of four things to happen. I can either, deal you 500 points of battle damage via his effect. I could Special Summon a Lycan monster from my deck but it's effect would be negated. I could have my monster attack again but with his original attack and defense points swapped around. Or...I can destroy one of your Spell or Trap Cards." Jaffa finished with a malicious grin.

Burdok looked at Deathlord, then at his face-down cards.

"Exactly. Deathlord, destroy the central face-down card." Jaffa ordered. The armoured wolf howled at the moon, the runes on his armour glowed, then Burdok's card burst into dust. Yamato groaned as he weakened. (5000, 3000) - (4800, 3000) "Now you have one less shield to protect your dragon, and one less opportunity to use a face-down for Yamato's points reduction ability."

"I'm getting tired of this fight...it's getting a little boring." Ali said with a pout as he drew. Jaffa removed a card from his deck. Deathlord's attack power dropped when his level dropped; (6800, 2300) - (6300, 2300)

"I sacrifice my Hellknight, to summon out my Infernus Hellbishop." Ali declared.

The rocky centaur vanished in a cloud of dark smoke, and in its place stood a creature made almost entirely of green flames. Only the bishops hat, the hands, feet, and upper chest were made from stone. (2200, 0)

"That thing has less points than your Hellknight did...so why?" asked Burdok.

"Glad you asked." Ali said with a grin. "You see, by sacrificing Hellknight for Hellbishop, his ability kicks in. For every removed from play Infernus card I have, I can destroy up to the same number of spell or trap cards on the field. Downside is, my Hellbishop can't attack at all."

"Hold up..you have two Hellpawns removed..." Burdok started.

"That's right. Say goodbye to your last two face-down cards." Ali said. The demonic bishop held up a single rocky hand, and a torrent of green flame burst forth from it and consumed the two cards behind Yamato.

"I activate my face-downs before they go boom." Burdok yelled over the raging fire. "First, Call of the Haunted, to bring back my Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

A purple mist seeped out from the card on the left, and a bright white dragon leapt forth into the air. (3000, 2500)

"Big whoop. When Call of the Haunted goes bye bye, so does the monster it brought back." Ali said, not very impressed.

"He still has his other trap card." Jaffa pointed out.

"That I do. And it's a little card known as Burst Breath. By Tributing a Dragon type monster on my field, I can destroy every monster on your field, who's defence score is less than my tributed dragon's attack score. And I choose to sacrifice my recently ressurrected Blue Eyes."

The white dragon roared and sent out a stream of blue fire across Jaffa and Ali's field.

"Ah ah ah." Ali said wagging a finger. "Have we forgotten so quickly about my other two face-downs? I activate my little Seven Tools of the Bandit. I pay 1000 Life points, and I can negate and destroy one of your cards...I think I'll do that to your Burst Breath."

A swiss army knife appeared from nowhere and sliced off Blue Eyes' head. As the severed dragon's head fell to the ground, the fires stopped short of their monsters.

Yamato groaned as now all three of Burdok's face down cards were gone. (4400, 3000)

"A valiant effort my old friend...but pointless. Why not just surrender to us? Spare yourself and your dragon the pain of suffering." Jaffa asked, holding out a hand towards Burdok.

"I will never surrender!" Burdok declared.

"Suit yourself. I activate my final face-down. Monster Loan. This card only works in a team duel situation. It allows me to gain control of my allies monsters, for a cost of 500 Life points for each monster. I think I'll borrow your Deathlord." Ali said. "Now, Deathlord, attack his Dragon and kill it!"

The armoured Lycan loped towards the dragon, dragging its sword behind it, and then swung the blade straight into Yamato's chest. THe dragon screamed in pain as it was destroyed.

"Deathlord's effect kicks in. I think I'll go with the second attack option." Ali said.

Deathlord turned to face Burdok and simply stabbed him through the chest.

"Now for some overkill...Tortured Baby, send him straight to Hell and our waiting Master!" Ali ordered. The giant demonic baby leered over at Burdok, giggled, and fired at him wave after wave of spikes.

Burdok fell over unconscious from the blood loss and the impacts of the spikes. But not before he also swept his Yamato over his Mark, and flung it into the distance during the spike barrage.

"Well...the Master's going to be in a funny mood. We got Burdok, but lost Yamato." Ali moaned. Jaffa just stared off into the distance.

"Come on. The sooner we get him back to the Master's realm, the sooner we can get back here and claim the final piece of the puzzle." Jaffa said.

"Puzzle? Since when was the Master going after the Millenium Items?" Ali joked, before getting slapped across the head...this time by his own Hells Demon. "All right all right, I get it. No bad jokes when it comes to powerful artefacts." The demonic baby smiled and then vanished back into Ali's deck.

With that, the two of them picked up Burdok, Ali grabbing his legs and Jaffa his arms. A portal opened up in front of them and they went through it.

So that was Burdok getting captured and soon to be turned into a Hell Rider. Hope you guys enjoyed it, and are looking forward to the next couple of chapters.

Please leave a review after the tone.

Beeeeeep.
