John pushed the bar on the grey, steel door exiting the classroom as the professor recited the homework assignment. Francis hurriedly walked up next to him, carrying his books. Francis looked over at John and opened his mouth to say something as Warren’s cronies pushed past looking confused. Francis’ mouth shut tight. “By the way, Francis, why does Warren have the Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards?” He asked as they walked past the Obelisk dueling field.

“You mean you really don’t know?” Francis asked as he raised his eyebrow. John shook his head slightly. “Well, a few years ago, Seto Kaiba retired from the dueling circle, to take care of Mokuba and forward Kaiba Corp. So, when he announced the retirement at a press conference, he said he would be auctioning off the Blue-Eyes cards and a limited edition Kaibaman card. The auction was shown live on TV. Yugi, Mokuba and Pegasus were up on the altar with.” He said as they left the large domed building heading towards the dorm house. “When the auction started, Warren burst through the doors followed by a few guys in suits. He shouted at Kaiba that he would pay three million dollars each for all four cards. He paid twelve million dollars out of pocket for four cards!” He exclaimed. “And ever since he got the cards he hasn’t lost a duel to anyone, but you. He was a professional duelist at thirteen. He actually dueled Pegasus and held his own.”

John kept walking as the yellow building came into sight. “I wasn’t even trying...” He said quietly. ”Wait a sec, he’s in most of my classes, but I haven’t seen him in a few days, yet his cheering squad was there.” He stated curiously as Francis chuckled to himself. “I wonder where Warren is…” He stated as Yukiko Hasashi walked up.

“Hey guys, what’s up? Did I hear somthin’ about Warren Sims?” She asked as she stared off down the road. “I overheard Professor Barnum and the chancellor, talking about him, sayin’ that he just up and left, took all his stuff and vanished. He didn’t even dropout.” She stated as she clutched her books to her modified vest. “Ummm, is there somethin’ on my face, Francis, cuz you’ve been staring at me since I walked over?” She asked him as he quickly averted his eyes. “Well, I gotta go meet this kid for a duel, so I’m off!”

“Wait! We’ll come with!” Shouted Francis, as he vouched for John. John opened his mouth to interject, but stopped himself, as he realized what was going on. The three of them turned around and walked off towards the Slifer Red dorm.

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away. A man sat in the back of a jeep, with his hands tied behind his back and a black cloth bag over his head. He sat in between two men in grey suits. A woman with Indigo colored hair and a purple loose shirt drove, while a boy with red and blue hair sat in the passenger seat. “Seriously, Raeff this isn’t necessary!” Yelled the man with the bag over his head.

“Our leader is a very paranoid man, this is just a precaution.” Raeff said as he turned around in the seat, with his back facing the windshield. “Our group has done some things our mother’s –or sons– wouldn’t be proud of.” He said as he smirked and looked over at the woman driving, who shot him an angered look. Raeff started to laugh uncontrollably.

“You’re psychotic Raeff…” The man in the bag stated.

“I know! Isn’t it delightful!?” He yelled loudly as he continued to cackle. The men in suits looked at each other with scared looks, as the jeep began to rock on the rough terrain. “You, take the bag off his head!” Raeff ordered the one on the left.

“Damnit Raeff! Are you gonna disobey orders again? Nicolas isn’t going to like this.” The woman stated.

“Shut up Alicia! It’s not like he could really tell where we are, hell, I hardly know!” Raeff yelled without looking at her. “Take the fucking bag off his head, now!” He screamed, with a crazy tone in his voice. The man on the left reached over and pulled the bag off the man with dark red hair. Raeff’s eyes opened wide as he saw Warren’s face. “Do you want to see something you’ll never forget, Warren?” He asked as his mouth widened in a sick grin.

“Not really.” Warren said as he shook his head and looked around. They were driving through an empty desert, plotted with the occasional cactus or rock.

“Well, too bad!” Raeff said as he pulled a small gun out of his pocket and shot the grey suited man on the left, square between the eyes. The shock of the bullet pushed him from the jeep, tumbling him across the ground as he grew smaller.

“JESUS CHRIST, RAEFF!!” Warren and Alicia screamed as she sped faster. Raeff cackled louder, almost falling out of the jeep. Warren shook for almost an hour, until they reached a small building, with no windows and a single door. Alicia and Raeff stepped out of the jeep, as he still chuckled slightly. Warren stood up and jumped out, landing on his knees. The other man helped him up and untied his hands.

Alicia punched Raeff hard, breaking his nose and walked through the door muttering to herself. Raeff laughed as his nose bled. He held the door for Warren as he walked through. They all walked down several flights of stairs until they reached an air-conditioned room. Along the right wall were about forty glass cases full of Duel Monster’s cards. On the left there were two fenced off mesh-iron closets full of duel-disks and different kinds of guns. At the end of the room were six doors. Alicia walked through one of them.

A tall man with a moustache stepped out of a middle one and walked towards Warren. “I’m Nicolas.” He said as he shook Warren’s hand. “You’ve already met, Alicia Deeprose and Raeff Phuller.” He stated as a small boy with black-grey hair walked out of a door at the end and entered a port-a-potty. “That’s Simon Lestron.”

Alicia stepped out of the door in only a blue bra and brown shorts. She sat down in a purple reclining chair and turned on a TV. Warren walked around the large room looking at the glass cases. “…There is still no explanation from the police about the disappearance of world class Duel Monster’s professional’s Alicia Deeprose or Warren Sims, Interpol is still looking for….” Warren heard from the TV.

Nicolas walked up behind Warren. “There are ten copies of every card ever publicly released in these cases. See anything you like?” He asked as Warren reached the end.

“Unfortunately, I don’t. I don’t see the Orifalcos in there. How do I get one?” Warren asked Nicolas as he turned around.

“You prove you can use one. I was thinking you duel Raeff.” Nicolas stated as Raeff looked up from cleaning his face of blood.

Alicia turned and clicked the TV off. “I want him.” She said already standing behind Warren. Nicolas nodded and walked over to a button-pad on the wall. He tapped a few keys and second or two later the floor split apart as a duel field rose up. Raeff ran over to the fenced off and took out two duel disks and tossed one to Alicia and the other to Warren.

Warren looked at Alicia. “Ya know, I’ve always wanted to duel you. My agent never gave me the chance. He said you always denied my request. That true?” He asked as she nodded.

Nicolas walked over to Warren. “You don’t have to win this duel; I just want to see how you play, also she has an Orichalcos in her deck.” He said as he stepped away. Warren and Alicia pulled a white cord out from there disks and plugged them into the arena.

“I’ll go first.” Alicia said as she drew her hand. “Hmmm… First I’ll activate Graceful Charity, and draw three cards, and then discard two. Next, I’ll set a monster and a face-down and end my turn.”

“Nice.” Warren drew and looked at his hand. “Be sure to keep up, Deeprose. I’ll summon the Kaibaman.” He said as a man in a white trench coat, with long brown hair and a Blue-Eyes mask appeared.

“I’ll activate a trap card, the Pitch Black Power Stone.” Alicia stated as three small, black spheres appeared, each with a small, golden triangle in the center.

“What’s it do?” Asked Sims.

“Only gives me those three counter stones.” She replied.

“Okay. Now I’ll tribute the Kaibaman, activating his effect to summon a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand.” Warren said calmly as the dragon appeared and roared loudly. “I’m not done though; next I’ll activate the Black Luster Ritual and send a monster from my hand to the grave, to summon the Black Luster Soldier.” He stated as a knight in glorious navy blue armor and a matching sword and shield appeared. “Now my soldier will destroy your face-down monster.” Sims said as the soldier grunted loudly and rushed the card, which flipped up showing a skinny mage with blonde hair and purple a skin-tight outfit. The mage quickly spun and aimed its green staff at the black stones making another appear as he was cut down. Another monster appeared in face-down defense position as the soldier returned to his post. “What just happened?”

“You destroyed my Apprentice Magician, and when he’s destroyed I get a counter on any card I want plus a face-down level 2 or lower spellcaster from my deck.” Alicia stated as she smirked.

“Oh well, Blue-Eyes attack it. White Lightning.” He ordered as the beast shot hot white energy at the face-down monster showing another purple mage, counter and face-down monster. “Go.”

“Fine.” Alicia said quietly as she drew. “First I’ll flip up my face-down monster the Magician of Faith, and take a spell from my grave, then I’ll activate the Black Magic Ritual and send a monster and the Magician of Faith to the grave to summon the Magician of Black Chaos!” She said as a man in a black and pink skintight outfit with blue skin and long black hair appeared holding a long pink staff. “Now, I’ll activate the Seal of Orichalcos.” The circle grew from the center of the field and enveloped them both and lowered beneath the arena. A small rose grew out of the center of the field as vines spread around the walls growing more roses in and out of the barrier. “Don’t worry the roses have no effect they just grow when I use this card. “Now, Magician destroy his soldier. Dark Magic Attack!” She said loudly as the man aimed his staff at the soldier and shot a huge dark sphere at him, destroying him. “Go.” Alicia ordered as her eyes started to glow a faint blue.

Warren drew his card. “I’ll activate the Swords of Reveling Light, and that’ll be it for me.” He stated.

Alicia drew her card and didn’t look at it. “I’ll activate the Graceful Charity again, then I’ll activate the Polymerization and send the Dark Magician and Buster Blader in my hand to the grave so summon the Dark Paladin,” She exclaimed as a blue skinned man in black armor appeared, holding a large pike sword. “But since I cannot attack, I’ll end my turn.” She stated.

Sims held his hand hesitantly over his deck and drew his card. “I’ll activate Trade-In, and send the level 8 Felgrand Dragon in my hand to the grave to draw two cards.” He said as he pulled the two cards from the deck. “I end my turn.”

Alicia pulled her card and looked at it. “I activate Spell Absorption, which allows me to gain 500 points every time a spell is activated. And with that I end my turn.” She explained.

Warren drew his card and smiled slightly. “I activate my Polymerization and send the two Blue-Eyes in my hand and the one on the field to summon the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!” He exclaimed happily and loudly, as a huge, white, three-headed dragon materialized and sent out a glass shattering roar from each head. “Unfortunately, I cannot attack due to your paladin so I’ll end here.”

“My draw.” Alicia stated as she pulled the card. “I’ll set this monster face-down and end my turn and your swords’ effect.” Warren drew his card and set it face down in the spell and trap zone. “I hope you didn’t like your dragon and I’m sorry to see such a beautiful creature die but…” She said as she drew her card. “My favorite girl... I’ll sacrifice my Magician of Black Chaos to summon the Dark Magician Girl! And now I’ll have my paladin attack. Magna Slash!” She yelled as the paladin started to run towards the dragon. He slashed hard kicking up virtual dust.

After the dust cleared the paladin had vanished and the dragon was covered in a spiky, black armor. “You triggered my Sakuretsu Armor. Which protected my dragon from your paladins attack.” He said smiling as the armor dropped from the dragon and Alicia ended her turn. He drew his card and smirked. “Very nice. Now I’ll activate the Fusion Recovery and take my Black Luster Soldier and my Polymerization from my graveyard. Next, I’ll activate the Polymerization and send that Luster Soldier and my Ultimate Dragon to the grave to summon the second most powerful monster in the game; the Dragon Master Knight!” He yelled as the Black Luster Soldier reappeared on the field and jumped onto the back of the Ultimate Dragon and held his sword high in the air. “Now Dragon Master, attack and destroy her Dark Magician Girl!” He ordered triumphantly as the dragon destroyed the mage.

“Enough.” Nicolas ordered. “Alicia surrenders. The mere fact that you could get the Dragon Master Knight out against Alicia is proof to me that you deserve your Seal.” He said as he walked over to them after the Rose Seal vanished. He handed Warren a blank Seal card in one hand and a small gem in the other.

“Why is it blank?” Warren asked staring at the spell card.

“You have to figure out how to activate it…” Simon stated quietly from the corner, his voice sound unnatural. It was the voice of an adult although he was obviously younger then ten years.

He looked at the gem and touched it to the paper. It lit up the entire room as the current lights blacked out. The gem turned a sickly red as Warren fumbled it between his fingers. He smiled his sinister, sharp, toothed smile. He looked over at Nicolas. “There’s only one thing I want.” Warren said as his eyes shone red.
