Brotherhood of Fire

In the Abandoned Dorm, Livius Erimond knelt in front of an alter which he used to communicate with the Elder One. A shadowy figure appeared in front of the Elder One.

"Livius." the Elder One said from the Shadowy figure. "Have you something to report."

"I do Master." Livius stated "I have succeeded, I have the girl with me now and I just need to get the portal open so I can deliver her to you."

"Good job." the Elder One stated. "I knew you would never let me down but you still have to bring her to me."

"Don't worry about that." Livius stated. "Even if the girl's friends discover us, I still have my brainwashed minions to protect us while I open the portal. They won't be able to get here in time before I bring the girl here, they will have to face against 5 duellists and I've upgraded their decks so that they will be difficult opponents"

"Don't underestimate these duelists like Alexius did." The Elder One stated. "Because of him they have one of the Old God cards that will cause issues for you, I don't care what you do, just bring the girl to me as soon as you can!"

"Understood master." Livius stated. "I will not fail you." Then the transmission ended and the Elder One faded and Livius laughed and looked beside him where he had used the Elder One's magic to create a magical purple cage and in the cage was a still unconscious Solona lying on her stomach. Livius laughed at her. "Soon my dear, you will belong to the Elder One, sadly because of that Old God spirit, you're too powerful for me to brainwash but soon the Elder One will have you and he will be closer to becoming a God and I will serve him in his new world."

...

In the Obelisk Blue Girls Dorm, Alexis and Sereda had gotten out of bed and dressed. Today was the day that they would go home for the holidays but they hadn't gotten their bags ready as they wanted to check on something. They were standing outside Solona's room and they knocked on her door.

"Solona, are you in there?" Alexis called

There was still no answer.

"I don't like this at all." Sereda stated. "I have a feeling that something bad has happened"

"Happened to who?" A voice called and the two girls turned to see the Obelisk Blue girl's head of the dorm, Miss Fontaine "Why are you two knocking on Solona's room"

Alexis looked at her. "We just worry that something bad has happened to Solona." She stated. "Last night my friends Jasmine and Mindy said that they needed her help with Missy who had stolen their cards. She went with them even though we told her that she couldn't because she had been ordered to stay in because of her father."

Fontaine looked at her.

"I was just about to come and ask you if you two have seen your friends Jasmine and Mindy." she stated. "They didn't return last night and neither did Missy."

Sereda looked at the door. "We followed her but we lost sight of her and we were forced to return because it was curfew. We hoped that she would be back at the dorm"

Miss Fontaine looked at the room. "Maybe we should see if she's in her room just in case she can't hear us." Alexis and Sereda opened Solona's door and saw that her room was fine and her suitcase with her clothes packed up was resting against the wall for going home. But there was no sign of Solona at all, her bed had not been slept in at all.

"It's just what we feared, she's not here." Alexis gasped

Miss Fontaine looked at the two girls.

"I'll have to inform her father and the Chancellor about this." She stated. "They are not going to like this at all."

...

Miss Fontaine was right, Aristide Amell was horrified when he learnt that his daughter was now missing. Chancellor Sheppard was horrified and had sent a message out to her friends that they needed to come to his office. Alexis and Sereda were already there.

"So let me get this straight." Aristide stated. "My daughter went to help your friends Jasmine and Mindy because they needed help?"

"Yes." Alexis answered. "But I saw that something was wrong with their eyes and I don't know what's going on now as no one returned that night."

Sheppard placed his head in his hands and sighed.

"I can't believe this." He stated. "Students have disappeared again and now one of the best has just vanished, if something isn't done then the school might not reopen after holidays."

It was then that the rest of Solona's friends entered the room. Chazz, Faren and Jaden from Slifer Red; Theorn, Kallian and Neria from Ra Yellow and finally Aedan and her brother from Obelisk Blue.

"What's going on?" Jaden asked. "We got a message saying that something has happened."

"I'm afraid it has Jaden." Sheppard stated. "And if something isn't done then this school might be closing down."

"What!" Aedan gasped. "But why? What has happened?"

Aristide looked at his son. "You're not going to like this son." He stated "But it's about Solona, she's gone missing."

"What!" Daylen shouted in horror. "How has she gone missing?"

Sheppard looked at Alexis and Sereda "Maybe you two should tell them what's happened."

Alexis sighed. "Yesterday Jasmine and Mindy came to her and told her that Missy had stolen her cards and had challenged her to get them back."

"As Solona is very against bullying she went to stop Missy." Sereda added. "But we saw that something was wrong so we followed them but we lost sight of them and they never returned to the Dorm."

There was silence throughout the room until Neria broke it. "I can't believe that Jasmine and Mindy are involved in this, this is not like them."

"Maybe they aren't." Theorn suggested. "Remember about the Shadow Riders and how they could brainwash someone, maybe something like that has happened"

Aristide looked at them. "Solona had said that she felt some dark forces on the island a few days ago." He stated. "She had a feeling that the Venatori were involved."

"You mean that Shadow Cult that were after Solona's Urthemiel card?" Aedan questioned. "If they're involved then how we will track them down, we had no contact with them since the Shadow Riders."

Professor Dorian who was in the room as well had a thought.

"Hey, I've just thought of something." He stated. "Remember when Solona dueled my old dueling teacher Alexius?" the group nodded at when Solona duelled Dorian's teacher. "When she defeated him, she gained another of the Old God cards."

"Yeah." Daylen agreed. "She gave it to me as she said it wasn't safe to keep two Old God cards together."

"Well, maybe we can use that card to find Solona." Dorian suggested. "The spirit could located Solona's Urthemiel."

"That's a good plan but there's one problem." Theorn stated. "Solona doesn't keep the card with her all the time, sometimes she locks it away in her room."

Aristide sighed.

"We have no other ideas." He stated. "We'll just have to hope that she has the card with her."

...

Soon, everyone in the group except for Sheppard were in Daylen's room in the Obelisk Blue Boys Dorm where Daylen was placing the combination into his small safe where he had placed the Razikale card. When they had hidden the spirit gate keys, Daylen had used Aedan's safe because he didn't want to risk a thief finding the Razikale card as well and afterwards, Daylen had hidden the safe under his clothes in his cupboard. When he opened the door, he brought out the Razikale card and took it over to his desk. Daylen then placed his hand on the card and closed his eyes as he tried to communicate with the spirit.

"Razikale, if you can hear me, I really need to speak with you." Daylen stated

There was a big gust of wind which blew the curtains around and Daylen looked and saw a large purple transport dragon forming in front of him.

"**So."** The spirit said in a female voice like Urthemiel. **"After having me for so long, you decide to summon me."**

Daylen looked at her.

"I'm sorry." He stated. "I just wasn't ready for you, the Old God cards are very powerful."

"**We are."** Razikale stated. **"That's why we were all sealed away because in the wrong hands, we could do so much harm. But the Venatori stole us from our tombs. He already has four of my brothers while my sister and other brother are not in their hands."**

Daylen looked at the spirit.

"My sister holds Urthemiel." He stated. "And she's gone missing. We fear that the Venatori may have her and if they do then they could get her as well"

Razikale looked at him. **"The Old God cards cannot be stolen by someone, they have to bond with a duelist just like Urthemiel is with your sister and I am with you after you beat Alexius. The Elder One had us but when he stole us from our tombs, he prevented us from bonding which you broke when you defeated my holder."**

Daylen sighed. "Is there a connection between the Old God cards, can they find each other."

Razikale looked at him. **"I can't find my captured brothers as well as the missing one."** He stated. **"But I can sense Urthemiel is still in this world on the island so I could find her."**

"Where is she?" Daylen asked

The spirit of Razikale was quiet for a moment until she looked at Daylen again. **"I sense that Urthemiel is on the northern part of this island in an old abandoned building with her bearing being held against her will."** then the spirit of Razikale vanished and Daylen looked at the others

"Well, was Razikale able to find out where Solona is?" Theorn asked

Daylen nodded.

"Razikale sensed that Urthemiel is in an abandoned building on the north of the island." He stated

Everyone gasped as now they knew where Solona was.

"There is only one place that matched that description on this island." Dorian stated

"The Abandoned Dorm." Aristide stated. "That's where my daughter is."

"Well what are we waiting for." Jaden stated. "Let's get over there."

...

In the Abandoned Dorm, Livius was in the large room where Jaden and Alexis duelled against Titan. Servis was next to him while the other brainwashed students were at the side. The cage holding Solona was to the side. Livius was performing some kind of ritual in the room.

"So once this ritual is complete, we'll be back with the Elder One." Servis stated

"We will." Livius stated. "Then we will serve the Elder One on his next task he gives us."

Then there was some kind of ringing and Livius activated some kind of mirror which revealed that Solona's brother and friends were outside the Dorm. "So they've found us" he stated. "It took them longer than I thought."

"Should we go deal with them?" Servis asked

Livius shook his head.

"I think they need some introductions" He stated and then he left the room with the others.

...

At the front of the Abandoned Dorm, Daylen arrived with everyone.

"So my sister is in there somewhere." He stated

"Let's just hope that she's alright." Theorn added

Jaden looked forward.

"We won't find her standing here." He stated. "Let's get in there." and then he ran forward.

But the others thought that something was wrong.

"Jaden wait!" Alexis called

"Something's wrong here." Aedan added

They were right and Jaden was thrown back by an invisible barrier and was thrown back and knocked into Kallian and Neria. Daylen then helped them all up and they stared at the Dorm.

Dorian narrowed his eyes. "Whoever is there, you better show yourself now."

Then they all heard a sound of a loud cackle and then the barrier faded and revealed a finely dressed man wearing red and white robes and having a thin trimmed beard "Well you wanted to see me and now you can."

Aristide narrowed his eyes.

"I remember you." He stated. "Livius Erimond, one of the highest members of the Venatori."

Livius laughed.

"Ah I see you remember me Aristide." He stated. "Well like I told you when we captured you before, I serve a living god."

"The Elder One is no living God!" Aristide spat. "He is someone who wants power."

"Power that will make us rulers of the Dimensions." Livius laughed. "The Old God cards are simply tools of this power."

"No Livius." Dorian stated. "You're the tool of the Elder One."

"Maybe I am." Livius laughed. "But I will rule the world at the Elder One's side. And we're even closer now since I will deliver him Urthemiel."

Daylen narrowed his eyes.

"Well you don't have all the cards." He stated as he brought out Razikale. "I have Razikale which I stole from your Venatori."

"Well we'll get him back at some point." Livius sneered. "But I'm a bit busy and I don't have time for you."

"Where's my sister!" Daylen roared angrily which made Livius laugh

"Oh you want to see your sister?" He questioned. "Well here she is." He waved his hands and a magical purple cage appeared. Daylen gasped when he saw his sister lying inside.

"Solona!" He yelled in shock

Livius laughed.

"You'll never get her back." He mocked. "She'll be coming with me to the Elder One."

Theorn stepped forward.

"We won't let you take her!" He snapped "We'll stop you!"

Livius chuckled.

"You won't stop me in time." He stated. "As soon as I open the portal, I shall escape from this world with the girl. And you won't get to me as first you will have to get past my minions." He waved his hands and then everyone gasped when they saw Livius' brainwashed minions.

"Wait I know him." Aedan stated pointing at one. "That's Servis, the boy who dueled Solona a while back."

"And there's my old Obelisk Blue pals." Chazz added. "Torimaki and Raizou."

"Jasmine, Mindy!" Alexis gasped as she her two friends

"And Missy!" Sereda added as she spotted Missy

Livius laughed.

"I couldn't do this alone." He stated. "Servis was brainwashed ages ago to be our spy on the island and I needed help to capture your friend. But they're also a good distraction. Now let's see you get though these before I'm finished." He looked at Missy. "You will guard the door while I take the others inside."

"Understood Master Livius." Missy stated as he left with the other and Missy activated her duel disk. "If you want to get past me then you will have to beat me in a duel and I've much better now."

Alexis narrowed her eyes. "As much as I hate this girl, no one deserves this."

"But it seems we'll only get past her if we beat her." Jaden stated

Dorian stepped forward. "As a teacher on this island, it's my duty to protect the students so I'll be dueling first."

Aristide nodded.

"Good luck Dorian." He said which made Dorian smile and Aristide went to the sidelines.

"Will Professor Dorian be okay?" Kallian asked. "I've never seen him duel before."

"Which gives him an advantage." Aedan stated. "Missy has never seen him duel but Dorian has seen Missy's duels before."

Dorian and Missy drew their opening hands as they activated their duel disks.

"**DUEL!"**

**Missy: 8000**

**Dorian: 8000**

"Ladies first." Missy smirked. "And I'll start by summoning Insect Knight in attack mode." A large beetle monster wearing armor and wielding a sword appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1900 Defense 1500) "And now I will end my turn."

Dorian drew his card. *'She may have summoned a powerful monster on her first turn, but I have a plan.'* He then looked at his hand and smirked at the cards he had "I'll start by summoning Brotherhood of the Fire Fist-Bear in attack mode." A Samurai warrior with a fiery spirit of a bear behind him appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1600 Defense 1200)

"Brotherhood of the Fire Fist?" Aedan questioned. "I've never heard of that deck before."

"I have." Aristide stated. "It's a new type of deck that was released not that long ago and it said to include a new type of summoning method which is still new here."

Missy sneered. "That monster doesn't stand a chance against my Knight."

"Maybe." Dorian stated. "But now I activate the spell card Fire Formation Tenki, now I add 1 level 4 or below Beast Warrior monster to my hand from my deck. And I choose my Hawk. And now the other effect of my Fire Formation activates, since it's a continuous spell, it stays on the field and all Fire Fist monsters gain 100 attack points" The bear warrior glowed as he gained more power (BOTFFB Attack 1600-1700)

"That's still not enough to destroy my Knight." Missy mocked. "So all that was useless."

"Not quite." Dorian smirked. "My bear has a special ability, now by sacrificing a Fire Formation spell or trap card to the grave, I can destroy one card on your field. So now my Tenki is destroyed and so is your Knight." The spell shattered and then a ball of fire struck Insect Knight and burnt the monster until there was nothing left but ash. "And now my Bear can attack your directly." The warrior swung his sword and the fiery spirit of the bear appeared, then the sword was pointed at Missy and the Bear swiped his claws which threw Missy back.

**Missy: 6400**

**Dorian: 8000**

"And now my Bear's second effect activates." Dorian added. "Since he just inflicted damage to you, I can set one Fire Formation spell directly from my deck. And then I will end my turn." A face down appeared on Dorian's field

"Wow." Neria stated. "Looks like Professor Dorian knows how to duel."

"Well he is a teacher here and has been trained by a pro." Alexis added

Missy narrowed her eyes. "Just because you pulled off a move like that doesn't mean that you've won. I summon Flying Kamakiri #1 in defense mode." A green insect with red eyes appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1400 Defense 900) "Then I will throw one card face down and end my turn."

"My move." Dorian stated. "And whatever you're planning to do with that face down, forget it, I activate my face down spell card Fire Formation Gyokkou. Now you cannot activate your face down card." A barrier formed around the face down. "And now I summon Brotherhood of the Fire Fist Gorilla in attack mode." A warrior wielding a large spear with the fiery spirit of a Gorilla behind him appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1600 Defense 1000) "And thanks to my Fire Formation, both monsters gain 100 attack points." Both monsters glowed as they gained power (BOTFFB Attack 1600-1700) (BOTFFG Attack 1600-1700) "And now my Gorilla will attack your Kamakiri." The Gorilla spirit pounced on the insect and grabbed him before pulling him apart.

"When Flying Kamakiri #1 is destroyed in battle, I can summon a Wind Attribute monster from my deck with 1500 attack points or less." Missy stated. "So now I summon Flying Kamakiri #2 in attack mode." A brown insect appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1500 Defense 800)

"Well, my Bear still has his attack." Dorian stated as the Bear pounced on the insect and destroyed him.

**Missy: 6200**

**Dorian: 8000**

"And since my Bear destroyed another monster, I get to set another Fire Formation spell from my deck." Dorian added. "Now I will end my turn"

Missy narrowed her eyes. "This luck of yours ends now." She hissed as she drew her card. "And it will start with this, I play the spell card Graceful Charity so now I get to draw three cards as long as I discard two of them." Missy drew three cards and then discarded two of them. "And now I play the spell card Monster Reborn which allows me to summon back one of the cards I discarded, my Pinch Hopper." A large green grasshopper appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1000 Defense 1200) "And then I play Multiplication of Ants which allows me to sacrifice my Pinch Hopper for two Army Ant Tokens." Pinch Hopper vanished and was replaced with two small green ants

"And let me guess, you're going to use Pinch Hopper's effect to summon a powerful insect from your hand?" Dorian asked

Missy smirked.

"I sure am, now I summon my favorite monster." She stated. "The mother of all insects, my Insect Queen." A large insect with a queen like appearance appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2200 Defense 2400) "And for every insect on my field she gains 100 attack points so with three on the field, that's 300 attack points." Insect Queen roared as she gained attack points (IQ Attack 2200-2500) "And I play my final card, Mystical Space Typhoon, now I get to destroy your spell card." Dorian's spell shattered and Dorian's monsters returned to their normal attack points. "Now my Insect Queen will attack your Bear, but first I will have to sacrifice one of my ants to allow her to attack." One of the Ants was eaten by the queen and then she spat poison which struck the bear and disintegrated his body as his empty army hit the floor.

**Missy: 6200**

**Dorian: 7200**

"And now my Queen's effect activates." Missy stated. "Since she destroyed a monster, she now lays an egg" an egg came from the Queen "And now I will end my turn."

Dorian drew his card. "Just because you destroyed my Bear doesn't mean I don't have a plan." He stated. "I play my face down, the spell card Fire Formation Tensu. This card gives my Beast Warriors an extra 100 attack points but it also allows me to summon an extra Beast Warrior each turn. So now I summon Brotherhood of the Fire Fist Boar and Brotherhood of the Fire Fist Rooster." A large bearded warrior with a Boar spirit in purple fire appeared behind him (Level 4 Attack 1100 Defense 1400) along with another warrior with s purple fiery spirit chicken behind him (Level 3 Attack 1500 Defense 100) "And all my Fire Fists gain 100 attack points thanks to my spell." All of the Fire Fists glowed as they gained power. "And while I may not be able to destroy your Insect Queen, I can still destroy that egg and soldier that you have. So first my Gorilla will attack that egg." The fiery spirit of the Gorilla shot forward

"Sorry but I play my trap card." Missy stated. "Negate Attack which prevents your attack and ends your battle phase." A large barrier appeared in front of the field and threw Gorilla back.

"Fine." Dorian stated. "I end my turn."

Missy smirked as she drew her next card. "Now you will see what I can do." She stated. "Though I can't do that with a near empty hand so now I play the spell Card of Sanctity so now we both draw until we hold 6 cards." Dorian and Missy drew until they held 6 cards in their hands. "And now I play the Ritual Spell card Javelin Beetle Pact, now by sacrificing monsters that equal level 8 I can Ritual Summon Javelin Beetle from my hand, and since this is a Ritual, I can use my token as one along with my Killer Needle in my hand, so now my Javelin Beetle appears." Missy's token vanished into an orb along with a card in her hand and then they combined to form a large blue Beetle holding a four pointed trident (Level 8 Attack 2450 Defense 2550) "And now my monsters are powerful enough to destroy two of your monsters. So Javelin Beetle, attack that Gorilla while Insect Queen will attack that Boar sacrificing my egg to allow her to attack." The egg was eaten by the queen and then the queen sent her acid which destroyed the Boar while the Beetle stabbed Gorilla through the chest and both monsters were destroyed

**Missy: 6200**

**Dorian: 5250**

"And now I will place one card face down and activate the spell card Insect Barrier so now you can no longer attack with any insect monsters and I get another egg." Missy stated as Insect Queen laid another egg. "Now I will end my turn."

"Wait, that doesn't make much sense." Jaden stated "Dorian's monsters are Beast Warrior type, not insect type"

"Missy must have some kind of plan." Alexis stated

"I sure do." Missy sneered as Dorian drew his card. "I activate the my trap card DNA Surgery, so now all monsters on the field become insects, which means that you can't attack anymore."

Dorian's monsters grew legs and scales which make people feel sick.

"That's just gross." Neria shuddered

But Dorian was smirking. "A good duelist always has a plan." He stated. "And that is a good move but I've seen it done before with Insect Duelists and I can counter it. Thanks to my spell, I can still summon twice this turn, so now I summon a second Brotherhood of the Fire Fist Bear from my hand." Another warrior with a bear spirit appeared on the field. "And now I sacrifice my Rooster to summon Brotherhood of the Fire Fist Swallow in attack mode." An armored warrior wielding two swords and having a blue fiery spirit of a bird above him appeared on the field (Level 5 Attack 2000 Defense 800) "And when my Swallow is summoned, I get to set one Fire Formation trap from my deck." A face down appeared in front of Dorian. "And now I activate my Bear's effect, now by sacrificing my spell, I can destroy your DNA Surgery which makes your Barrier useless." The trap shattered and Dorian's monsters returned to normal. "And I'm allowed to play the trap card that I just set with my Swallow's effect, Fire Formation Tensen. This card allows one of my Beast Warrior monsters to gain 700 attack points until the end phase, but all Beast Warriors gain 300 attack points, and I choose my Swallow to get the extra 700 attack points." Both Swallow and Bear glowed as they gain more power (BOTFFB Attack 1600-1900) (BOTFFS Attack 2000-3000) "Now my Swallow will attack that Beetle." The warrior swung his swords around and then the Swallow swooped down and set the Beetle on fire which then exploded.

**Missy: 5650**

**Dorian: 5250**

"And now my Bear will attack your Egg." Dorian added as the Bear spirit destroyed the egg and dealt more damage to Missy who was thrown back

**Missy: 3850**

**Dorian: 5250**

"And since Bear dealt you damage, I get to set one Fire Formation spell from my deck." Dorian added. "Now I will end my turn."

Missy narrowed her eyes as she drew her card. "I play the spell card Pot of Greed which allows me to draw two more cards." Missy drew two extra cards. "Now I summon Cockroach Knight in attack mode." A small green cockroach holding a sword appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 800 Defense 900) "But he won't be on the field long though because now I will sacrifice him to allow my queen to attack that Bear, and there's more when my Cockroach Knight is sent to the graveyard, he is returned to the top of my deck." Insect Queen ate the Knight and then spat acid which destroyed the Bear warrior.

**Missy: 3850**

**Dorian: 4850**

"And now my Queen lays another Egg." Missy stated. "And then I will end my turn by playing Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy that Fire Formation trap card which means your monsters lose their attack bonus." A typhoon blew Dorian's trap away and his monsters lost their attack boast (BOTFFS Attack 2300-2000)

"My move." Dorian stated as he drew his card. "And now I will summon Brotherhood of the Fire Fist Caribou in attack mode." A large muscular man holding a spear with the spirit of a caribou behind him appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1100 Defense 200) "And now I will play the field spell card Molten Destruction." The field changed from the abandoned Dorm in the forest into a volcanic wasteland with an erupting volcano in the distance "And now all Fire Attribute monsters gain 500 attack points" Both Swallow and Caribou glowed orange as they gained more power (BOTFFC Attack 1100-1600) (BOTFFS Attack 2000-2500) "And now Swallow will attack that Insect Queen." The spirit of the Swallow swooped down through Insect Queen and destroyed her.

**Missy: 3750**

**Dorian: 4850**

Missy smirked. "I play my trap card, Insect Avenger." She stated. "Since you destroyed my Insect Queen, I can end your battle phase."

"Which means that she is safe from taking damage when Caribou attacks that token." Aristide stated

"Missy was a good duelist but not great with her attitude." Alexis stated. "But her deck seems to have been improved."

"The Venatori must have done that to make them more difficult to beat." Sereda stated. "They may have done it with the others as well."

"Let's just hope Dorian will be alright." Kallian finished

Dorian looked at his hand. "I place one card face down and end my turn" he stated as a face down card appeared on his field.

"My move." Missy smirked as he drew her card. "And I'll start by playing the spell card Insect Pot, now by removing two insect monsters in my grave from play, I get to draw two cards so I remove my two Kamakiri monsters" Missy's monsters were removed from play and she drew two new cards. "And now I will activate one of them, Lighting Vortex, now by discarding one card, I can destroy all your monsters" Missy discarded a card and then a huge storm destroyed both Swallow and Caribou

"Great!" Jaden groaned. "Now Dorian has no monsters on his field."

"And it gets worse." Missy smirked. "I play a Ritual Spell card known as Ant Burrow, this card was given to me by Lucius and it's better than any normal Ritual because it allows me to use monsters in the grave as well as monsters on the field, so now my last token along with my Insect Soldiers of the Sky which I discarded with Lightning Vortex are removed which allows me to Ritual Summon the Ritual monster Burrowing Ant in attack mode." A large brown ant appeared on the field and looked ready to dig (Level 4 Attack 1800 Defense 800) "And there's more, now I remove my Insect Queen and Javelin Beetle in order to summon Doom Dozer in attack mode." A large pink centipede monster appeared on the field (Level 8 Attack 2800 Defense 2600)

"Uh oh!" Jaden groaned. "Now Dorian has no defense and Missy has two powerful monsters."

"This looks bad for Dorian." Aedan added

Missy sneered.

"It sure is." She stated and then pointed at Dorian "Now Burrowing Ant, attack him directly, and just to let you know, even if you did have monsters, my ant could still attack your directly thanks to his special ability but since you have no monsters, that doesn't matter." Burrowing Ant tunneled underground and then shot up in front of Dorian and threw him aside.

**Missy: 3750**

**Dorian: 3050**

"And I still have one more attack left." Missy stated. "Doom Dozer, attack him directly." Doom Dozer tunneled underground and Dorian felt the ground shake underneath him and then there was an explosion of Earth and Dorian was thrown back as Doom Dozer surfaced. Dorian groaned as he landed on his back and lost a huge chunk of his life points.

**Missy: 3750**

**Dorian: 250**

"Professor!" Jaden shouted as he widened his eyes

"Dorian!" Aristide added

Everyone gasped as Dorian was on his back and struggled to get back up while Missy laughed. "Since my Doom Dozer dealt you damage, you have to discard the top card of your deck. And now I will end my turn that is unless you just give up now."

Dorian rolled onto his front and pushed himself up.

"Never!" He hissed. "I will never give up, my friend's daughter is in danger and that is reason for me to never give up" he discarded the top card of his deck because of Doom Dozer's effect.

Missy laughed. "You're a fool, you barely have any life points left and no monsters while I have two great monsters and plenty of life points, I can't lose"

Dorian smirked. "In a duel, anything can happen." He stated as he drew his next card. "And I have what I need to win right here, I'll start by playing the spell card Onslaught of the Fire Kings, since I have no monsters and you do, I can summon a Beast Warrior, Beast or Winged Beast from my deck, and I choose Brotherhood of the Fire Fist Snake in attack mode." A young sorcerer wielding flaming magic which took the shape of a snake appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1800 Defense 600) "And now I summon Brotherhood of the Fire Fist Spirit in attack mode." A small girl with fire surrounding her appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 300 Defense 200) "And when my Spirit is normal summoned, I can summon a level 3 fire monster with 200 defense points in my grave in defense mode. So I bring back my Rooster." The chicken spirit monster returned to the field. "Now since I used my Spirit's effect, only Beast Warrior monsters can attack this turn."

Missy began laughing. "Those monsters don't stand a chance against my insects."

"Maybe but I'm not done yet." Dorian smirked. "You see my spirit is a tuner monster."

"A what?" Jaden stated. "What's a tuner"

Theorn widened his eyes. "Wait, that's familiar, that's the same type of monster that I saw when I dueled against that Shadow Rider Blackbird."

"The one who used that new type of summoning." Aristide stated. "Pegasus must have created more decks with that summoning method."

"He did." Dorian stated. "Now I tune my level 3 Spirit with my level 3 Rooster which allows me to summon a level 6 Synchro monster." Spirit turned into three circles that surrounded Rooster who then turned transparent and into a beam of light "When the powers of the Fire Fists come together, they form a prince monster, one that charges into battle." Dorian chanted. "I Synchro summon Brotherhood of the Fire Fist Horse Prince." A rider warrior riding on top of a blue fiery horse appeared on the field (Level 6 Attack 2200 Defense 2200) "And now that he's been Synchro summoned, I can summon a level 3 fire monster from my deck and I choose my Brotherhood of the Fire Fist Hawk in attack mode." A warrior woman appeared on the field wielding a bow which was on fire and her feathered helmet was on fire (Level 3 Attack 200 Defense 1500)

"Ha" Missy laughed. "Those three monsters mean nothing, they're no match for my monsters"

Dorian smiled. "Well I still have this card to play, a familiar trap card, Fire Formation Tensen so now my Horse Prince gains 700 attack points plus all my Beast Warriors gain 300 extra." The three Beast Warriors glowed as they gained power (BOTFFHP Attack 2200-3200) (BOTFFS Attack 1800-2100) (BOTFFH Attack 200-500) "And there's more, since Molten Destruction is still on the field, all Fire Attribute monsters gain 500 attack points, and then there's Hawk's effect, since there is a Fire Formation card on the field, all monsters gain another 500 attack points so that's 1000 extra attack points." Dorian's monsters gained even more power (BOTFFHP Attack 3200-4200) (BOTFFS Attack 2100-3100) (BOTFFH Attack 500-1500)

"All right." Jaden cheered. "Dorian can win this now."

"No!" Missy yelled. "I can't fail like this."

"It's over!" Dorian smirked. "Horse Prince, take out that Doom Dozer." the fiery horse charged forward and trampled over Doom Dozer and the monster shattered.

**Missy: 2350**

**Dorian: 250**

"Next Snake will take out that Ant." Dorian added and then one of the fiery snakes shot forward and bit the ant which made the ant shriek before shattering.

**Missy: 1050**

**Dorian: 250**

"And now Hawk will attack you directly and end this duel." Dorian finished and then Hawk fired an arrow from her bow which turned into a flaming hawk and shot through Missy which sent her flying back as she screamed

**Missy: 0000**

**Dorian: 250 (Winner)**

"All right!" Kallian cheered

"He did it!" Neria added

Dorian deactivated his duel disk and walked over to the fallen Missy who had been knocked out when the duel ended and he knelt in front of her.

"Is she alright?" Alexis asked, she may have hated the girl but that didn't mean she wanted anything bad to happen to her.

"She's alright." Dorian stated. "Just knocked out, she'll wake up in time though it's likely she won't remember any of this, I'll take her to the Infirmary. You lot need to carry on, Solona is still in there."

"He's right." Aedan stated. "We need to get to Livius before he performs this Ritual otherwise we may struggle to find Solona again."

"We won't let that happen." Theorn stated. "We will find Solona and make sure she is safe."

Aristide nodded and the Dorian left and then the others went into the Abandoned Dorm with Daylen leading them.

"Don't worry sister." Daylen said to himself. "We'll get you back, I just hope we're not too late because I get the feeling that this isn't the end of this."
