Soul of the Dragon

Chapter 30: A World Without Light Part 2

"Two of our drones have found some very interesting defenders of light," the blue-and-black-cloaked boy said. He smiled in the tunnel as he watched the flames from a flickering candle.

"Good," a yellow-and-black-cloaked man agreed. "Who did they find?"

The leader spoke up then. "Yusei Fudo, Elizabeth Kururugi and Calamari Ukara. Did you see Yusei feel pain as Elizabeth did? I wonder if they are linked. Well, let us observe if they are up for a challenge..." His laugh rang throughout the dark tunnels of the Satellite.

A ring of purple fire erupted and surrounded the female duelists.

Lise's eyes widened fearfully, but she shook her head. No...I have to stay focused and win this duel. Just block out the pain and move forward.

"Get ready girls! Now there's no turning back!"

"We're in some serious shit, aren't we?" Fish said. She was smiling in a sort of 'stupid me' kind of way.

"Hell yes," Lise agreed solemnly.

"I'll go first..." the girl said lazily. "I summon Baby Cobra in attack mode!" A small snake appeared on the field.

(Baby Cobra: Atk: 400 Def: 1600)

"I end my turn."

"It's my turn then!" Fish decreed. "And you can bet we're gonna kick your ass!"

The drone smiled wickedly. "We shall see..."

"We will see now, won't we?" Fish said with a hint of cockiness in her voice. She drew her card."I summon out my Wish Fish! He'll be chilling in attack mode by himself for a while. He won't be totally alone though. I place two cards facedown and end my turn!"

"My move again," the little girl said. "I play one card facedown and that'll be my turn."

"Creepy," Fish shivered.

Lise smiled half-heartedly at her friend. "It's my turn so I think I'll pick a card! I summon out Smoke Raven in attack mode! By halving his attack points, he can attack directly! Smoke her out!" The bird flew right through the girl, dropping her lifepoints.

Lise and Fish: 4000

Drone 2: 3600

Instead of flinching the girl smiled. "Thank you, Crimson Dragon. You activated my trap Poison Fang! When I take a direct attack, I can special summon my dark tuner Poisonous Python!"

(Poisonous Python: Atk: 300 Def: 1100)

"Dark tuner?" Lise narrowed her brow in confusion.

"Yes, that's right, are you finished?"

"Nope; I'll also lay a card facedown! I end my turn."

"And now it is time for you to see the darkness at work!" The drone cackled and drew her card. "Poisonous Python, dark tune with Baby Cobra!"

"Uh oh," Fish muttered. The two friends took a couple steps back.

"When the shadows are devoured by even darker shadows, the curtain pulls back and reveals...a world without light!" The girl's dark tuner turned into dark stars that burrowed into Baby Cobra, destroying it and out of a flash of blackness emerged an even more sinister beast. "Say hello to the Dark Synchro Monster Twin-Headed Serpent!"

(Twin-Headed Serpent: Atk: 2500 Def: 1800)

Lise and Fish watched the giant snake's coils warily. They had sharp pointy spikes that emerged from the snake's two heads and descended down to their tail. Both of their fangs glistened menacingly in the moonlight. The little drone girl smiled and laughed evilly.
