So, Twilight, Chrysalis, and I were in the Yami area, having left Ra's castle a few hours back. "Twilight, remember, your guys get a two hundred boost here," I said. "You know, assuming this place is like the field spell, that is."

"Good thing DM and DMG are with us, then, huh?" she replied.

"Yeah, I guess so," I said. "You guys remember the plan?"

"Yeah, we do," Chrysalis said.

I nodded. "Then time to split up, guys." I won't say the plan, what's a little story without surprise, but I will say it involves divide and conquer. Now, I'll say it right now, the Yami area is less creepy than you'd think. Not to say I wasn't a little scared, I hate jump scares like lightning in a dark area. I never got behind scary movies either, for that matter. I just don't get the same adrenaline rush from that stuff like others.

Anyway, the three of us split up, but an added feature of the duel disks was that we could use them to stay in contact with one another. I had lost the old disk, really, and had a new one built. It's coloration was cyan and brick, my preferred customization colors when playing a game. Twilight's was colored lavender to match her skin with fuchsia and that greenish blue that Twivine gave her during the fusion I did to get her back together, while Chrysalis' was, surprise, black and green.

As the three of us moved into position, as this place had more terrain than the card would have you think that allowed us cover, I began to hear voices. "Why not just kill him?" a voice said. "We risk too much by letting him live."

"Because Lord Hamon thinks it best to have him on our side," a second replied. "And what are you complaining about? I thought you enjoyed being here and torturing others."

"Most of the time, yes," the first shot back. "But only a mad man would torture him without being utterly certain he couldn't escape."

"Quiet, the both of you," a third voice said, this one female while the other two were male. "Lord Hamon still thinks the human and his accursed harem live here with his brother. If not, then we still gain the Forbidden one. If he's right, then he will know to attack here."

Well, looks like these guys think Twilight, Chrysalis, and I are in a relationship on that level. Though I would like that, we aren't.

"It won't matter if we can't contact Lord Hamon," the first said as I crouched behind a rock near the three. "The storms here do not allow us to communicate with the rest of the Order."

Okay, let's hope this doesn't mess with our communication. "Can you guys here me?" I spoke into the disk. No reply. Noted. That is not going to help. Wait a minute. "Chrono," I whispered.

"Yeah," the spirit replied from inside the deck.

"Why the hell didn't you guys make the communicators immune to this storm?"

"We couldn't," Chrono replied. "The effects of this area on communicators  is still not entirely unknown, and we know not how to counter it."

"Fair enough, I guess," I muttered. "Can you guys function here, at least?"

"Yes, but it is still not understood why."

Great. Something utterly unexplained which could so easily be used against me. Fucking cliches. "Well, are you guys ready?"

"Indeed we are," the machine king said. "At your word. But what about the others?"

"We can just hope that they're in position and ready," I say before drawing a card, and putting in the spell and trap zone. I then looke dover the rock, and saw two Armageddon Knights and a D.D Warrior Lady. I'll admit, I thought of her as a good guy. So I was wrong, or she's been mind raped. Either way, her ability will most likely be a pain in the ass.

Okay, then. "Let's go with. . ." I said, drawing a card from random in the deck, ". . .you." With that, I placed the monster card down. Now, before I go forward, the rules are different here in the spirit world. You don't need to tribute monsters to summon. Placing them on the deck under current circumstances simply releases them. We good?

The monster that came out was a well known one. Cyber Dragon, anyone?

Oh, and it's Cyber, as Applejck had apparently slipped the card into one of my decks before the whole overthrow thing, and he had come with us. "You ready?" I ask.

"Indeed I am," Cyber said.

"Then let's hit it."

With that, Cyber reared up from behind the rock, and unleashed his attack on the unsuspecting warriors.

"What th-" one of the Armageddon Soldiers said in surprise before he was vaporized as his two comrades dodged to the side.

"They're here," the other said.

"You think, moron?" Warrior Lady said in a snarl. "I swear, I have to work with morons."

"Try going to school with them," I said. "Now, two choices exist for you two. Leave, or die, as we all know you aren't strong enough to go against Cyber Dragon."

"Perhaps," the Armageddon Knight said. "But that is just us two," she said before I heard shouts from two direction.

"And it seems as if our comrade has found your two sluts," Warrior Lady said before a being with large, black wings, with the inside being red, a blue orb in the center of his chest, and wolverine like claws, with Twilight and Chrysalis held in them, flew over to us. Hello, Dark Neos. "And most certainly can defeat your pitiful excuse for a dragon, especially since we all know you aren't willing to harm those you call your allies." And this is why I came up with a back up plan.

"And just how do you know that those aren't fakes?" I asked. "For all you know, those are spirits like Copy Plant who just look like them."

"Please, do you think us fools?" Warrior Lady said. "We were given special enhancements to counter any plan you may come up with, and one is that we would know if they were heretical spirits. They aren't. Now, surrender, submit to Hamon's will, and become the peasant you are."

"How about no," I said. "I activate my face down, Change of Heart, which allows me to turn one of you allies against you. And I choose Dark Neos," I said before, well, something came out of the card at lightning speed to strike this Neos in the chest, the blue orb to be precise, which I just realized had forks of yellow lightning in it. The something from the card was blue, I was able to tell that much, by the way. Anyway, when it hit Neos in his chest, I saw the yellow forks of lighting vanish in the orb, and, as the other two looked shocked at what just happened, he spread his wings, and flew over next to Cyber.

As he landed, in the same voice as Neos from GX, he said, "My thanks for releasing me."

"No problem," I said as he set Twilight and Chrysalis down on the ground. As they stirred, indicating they hadn't been hit hard, I asked them, "You two alright?"

"Just a little banged up," Twilight said. "Other than that, I'm good."

"Same with me," Chrysalis said. With that, the two shakily got up. "But we're still ready to help."

"Not that you can," Warrior Lady said. "Activate Level Limit Area B." Oh shit.

For those that don't know, that spell prevents all level four or higher monsters from attacking by forcing them into defense mode. And it apparently works the same way here, as Cyber, Neos, and even Twilight and Chrysalis were forced to the ground in a kneeling stance as if they had a shield and placed it in front of them. "What's going on?" Twilight asked, surprised.

"Simple," Armageddon Knight, still standing, said. "If you two were monster spirits, you would be well above level four."

"And what about you two?" I asked, still able to move.

"Lord Hamon reduced what our levels are," the Knight replied. "And you have no abilities, knave. You won't be able to defeat us."

"Not by myself," I agreed. "But you forget. I still have this," I said, bringing my disk up. "And a friend of mine decided to hitch a little ride. One below level four, but able to defeat a god." With that, I drew said spirit's card from the deck, and placed it on the field. "So, Copycat, how about you show yourself to our guests?"

With that, the familiar spirit, dressed in all green with a blue cloak and hat, a mirror in his left hand and covering his face, appeared.

"That thing?" Warrior Lady asked, laughing. "You are foolish if you think it can stop us."

"Oh, I don't think he can," I said. "I know he can. So I'll start with his ability, which lets him perfectly copy a monsters attack, and I choose yours," I said, pointing at the spirit woman. "Now, Copycat, take the knight down."

In a voice like Warrior Lady's, kinda creepy, that is, Copycat said, "Right," before leaping to Knight, a buster sword coming from the mirror, I'm not joking there, and sliced him in half. Vertically. Yeah, not a pretty scene. As his body didn't disintegrate and the two halves fell to the ground in opposite directions, Copycat jumped back to where I stood.

"You still won't be able to beat me," Warrior Lady said. "He has the same skills I do."

"Yes," I said, "but did I mention he's a spellcaster?"

As horror came to her face, along with realization, I said, "Finish this thing off, Copycat."

He nodded, much as he could, and attacked, this time, a small knife being used, slitting her throat. She still had enough vitality, though, to answer when I asked, "Where are those you were torturing?" as I held her head after walking over to her. As I asked, I held up a spell card that would allow me to bring her back, Monster Reborn. "Answer, and if you aren't lying, I'll use this on you." As it turns out, being able to come back from the dead is a powerful incentive, as she replied.

"He-here," she croaked before lifting her palm facing upwards up, and five very famous cards appeared.

"My thanks," I said as she passed into the void and took the cards before activating my spell card, not just on her, but her comrades, which caused a small flash. When it subsided, the three were in card form, but, as I picked them up, I could hear faint whispers from each, but could not tell just what was being said.

I looked back and asked the others, "Can you guys move?"

"No, we can't," Chrysalis replied in a bored tone.

"Good thing I packed this thing for a quick escape, then," I said. "Activate Interdimensional matter transporter." A flash of purple light came into existence, and we disappeared from the area. But nor did we appear in Ra's castle. No, we arrived somewhere else entirely.
