~Rise of Darkness II: Enter the Shadow Realm~
~Chapter 7: The Unbeatable Monster~
Both Nightshade and Jilas ran over to Dax to see if she was alright, "Dax, are you alright?" Nightshade asked urgently. He noticed that she seemed to be having trouble breathing as she lay there unconscious.
"Please Dax...Wake up!" Jilas exclaimed.
Atem went up to check on Dax to give his opinion, "It's the Shadow Realm," Atem said, "Dax is just too weak to tolerate being here. Part of the reason is most likely because she is also sick. Also, her being a Light dragon and a spirit dragon just adds to the affects. I'm surprised she made it as long as she did."
"She did just recover from a bad cold," Jilas said, "But what do you mean by her not able to tolerate being in the Shadow Realm?"
"Alec, Chris, Kourine, and myself have the tolerance that we have because of our strong spirits," Atem explained, "Da-ku Enzeru, Neo-Octavious, Red-Eyes, and Dark Magician originate from this realm. Nightshade and Cynder, along with Alec have a darkness in them that make them more resistant to the Shadow Ream's power. I assume Spyro has a strong spirit like us. But if I'm correct, he does feel the affects on him as well."
"Well, I have been feeling a little more strained than usual," Spyro admitted.
"As for you Jilas, like Cynder, you are connected to the darkness in a way that makes you immune to the Shadow Realm," Atem said.
"Is there anything you can do for her?" Spyro asked. There was a sense of urgency in his voice. Although he was concerned about Dax' well being, he wanted to find Cynder as soon as possible.
"No, not me," Atem said, "But Da-ku Enzeru might." Atem then looked at Da-ku Enzeru.
"Well, I don't know how affective it will be, or how long I can keep it up," Da-ku Enzeru said, "I don't even know if it will work. But it's worth a shot." Da-ku Enzeru then began giving off an energy that he sent to Dax. Her breathing then began to become less labored. Then she opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Nightshade.
Dax jumped up and hugged Nightshade. She was still weak and tired, but that was for the most part from being sick.
"Alright. Let's go find Cynder and stop Duo!" Atem said, knowing what Spyro's true intent was.
X~~~~~X
The group were searching for hours for Cynder's captors. And even though they haven't found them yet, it seemed that they were making it easy for them to follow Duo. It was like he was leaving them a trail of bread crumbs to follow...as if he wanted them to find him.
And soon, they did.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Alec and his squad of weaklings," Duo said.
"WHERE'S CYNDER?" Spyro shouted instantly.
"Oh...don't worry about her," Duo said, "She's safe. But that's more than what I can say about you if you keep up that attitude. But I've got an old friend who'd like to see you. And I'm sure that you're just dying to see him."
Suddenly, a large bladed dragon walked out from the shadows, "Blaid!" Nightshade growled. Spyro on the other hand just shivered. He remembered all too well what this dragon was capable of.
"But...but...but how?" Jilas asked, "How is it possible he's still alive?"
"Well, technically he's not," Nightshade pointed out, "At least no more alive than I am."
"Fate sure has a strange way of playing itself out, doesn't it?" Blaid said in his dark tone. Then he pulled on a rope of darkness. And then they saw as Cynder walked out of the darkness. But something wasn't right.
"CYNDER!" Spyro said as he ran to her. But he stopped half way when he saw that she wasn't really there. At least not her mind. Her body was there, but her mind was gone.
"I see you've noticed that Cynder isn't home," Duo said, "Her soul is trapped. And the only way to free her is with a shadow game. But perhaps this can be better if I show you." He then activated his duel disk.
Although Alec didn't like where this was going, he knew the only way to free Cynder's soul was to duel Duo and win. So he activated his duel disk. The two officially began the shadow game by saying the two words that act as an agreement to the rules of the shadow game, "Let's duel!"
"I'll start things off," Alec said, not letting his mortal enemy get the better of him. He drew his cards a grinned, "I'll save this card for later. But for now, I'll start with the magic card 'Graceful Charity', which allows me to draw three cards by discarding two. Then I play these two cards face down and end my turn." Alec had placed one monster face down in defense mode and the trap card 'Dimension Wall'. It was the perfect first move.
"My move," Duo said as he drew a card. Then a grin spread across his face, "I now have a card in my hand that you won't destroy. But first, I play this card face down. Then I play 'Archfiend Soldier' (level 4, atk:1900 def:1500) in attack mode and end my turn."
'Did he manage to call my bluff?' Alec thought to himself. "My move," Alec said as he drew his next card, "I play 'Armageddon Knight'. And it's affects allow me to send one dark monster from my deck to my graveyard. I end my turn."
"I end my turn," Duo said. It was obvious he had something planned. But what.
"Okay..." Alec said in a confused tone as he drew his card, "I play 'Monster Reborn' to summon the monster that I just sent to the graveyard last turn...Necromancer. That card my seem useless now. But with three monster cards on the field, I can tribute them to summon 'Raviel, Lord of Phantasms' (Level 10, atk:4000 def:4000). Now I attack with Raviel! Attack his Archfiend!"
"I play 'Swords of Revealing Light'!" Duo said as he flipped his face down card.
Seeing as he couldn't attack for the next three turns, Alec used that time wisely and managed to summon 'Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder' and 'Uria, Lord of Searing Flames', "Now that Uria, Hamon, and Raviel are on the field, I can fuse then to summon 'Armityle the Chaos Phantom' (level 12, atk:0 def:0). And thanks to swords of revealing light, I end my turn."
With the end of that turn, the swords vanished with the three turns being up, "My move," Duo said as he drew, "I now sacrifice my Archfiend to summon the monster that you will not destroy!" Duo then placed his card on the duel disk and the image appeared. When everyone saw what the monster was, everyone gave out an audible gasp...

~The Angel of Darkness, Alec~
The duel for Cynder's soul has begun. But what could that duel monster be that is supposedly unbeatable? And what was so shocking about it?
I'll be honest, I kinda cheated in order to summon 'Raviel, Lord of Phantasms'. I was supposed to tribute 3 FIEND type monsters. And not all the monsters I used were fiend type. Also, despite having 0 attack and defense, 'Armityle the Chaos Phantom' is perhaps the strongest monster I've seen.

I am hopeful that they'll save the soul of Spyro's beloved, Cynder.
