Yu-Gi-Oh! Gates of Despair (Started/Accepting/PG-16/IC)

[Love of Ghibli]

Alexander shrugged nonchalantly as the manic boy had ran into him. Was this what humans call agoraphobia, the fear of the outside world or was this some hyperbolic fear of women. Either way as the kid bowed in forgiveness Alexander did not say a word. Then the peculiar happened. The boy ran away. But why did he run away? Alexander wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary...this time...and if anything the kid knocked into him so the boy should be the one gaining unwanted attention. Alexander proceeded to scan the boy as he ran away and though Alexander could not hear the boy he definitely saw the corners of his mouth move from the side as if he was talking.

Alexander's irises went red for a second as he believes he has just found a viable target for his cause. He then walks over slowly, but he stops for a quick second. Its seems the panicky child has found a companion and though nothing was visibly wrong with this child either the boy was actually next to Alexander. But it wasn't as if the two boys were talking to each other more like one just happened to recognize the other. Alexander didn't fully comprehend what was going on, but he did know that there was a high probability that the introvert was a host of an immortal.

The best move for him to make would be to slip into the shadows though it would be funny to watch such a large...man...try duck and hide in broad daylight but he attempted anyway. Never taking his eyes off his new prey he wanted to watch and see what would happen.

Kayla had turned around quickly enough to see the girl collapse on the ground, and pushed away her chair to run over and crouch next to her. Cupping the girl's head in one of her hands to pull it up, she tried a couple of tricks to see if the girl was conscious, before trying to gently shake the girl to get her to wake up. [color=#FFA500]"Wake up, please wake up. Falling and passing out can not be good for anyone's health. C'mon girl, wake up."[/color] Turning around without moving positions, she said, [color=#FFA500]"Zeus, do something damnit, this is really not a good situation to be in."[/color][color=#FFD700] "And what would you suggest I do, it's not like i'm omnipotent or anything. I'm an Immortal, not a God."[/color][color=#FFA500] "To some people, the two are one and the same, but that's not the point. Any of the rest of you got any ideas, we can't just leave her like this."[/color]

(I think it's safe to presume there are 4th gen duel Disks or "Duel Gazer's")

A deep manly chuckle comes out of Li-Fe's mouth as she stood up. Li-Fe's Eyes were no longer blue they were lava red, her expression was cold and blank, before she cracked a wicked smile, "[color=#b22222]Zeus! Time for revenge! Duel Gazer set! Alternate Reality link set....[/color]" Flames materialize at my eye revealing a red Duel Gazer, My Duel Disk Looks as if broken and unable to create holograms. As she, or more appropriately he, speaks his next words a sphere of fire envelops the two of them trapping them both in. "[color=#b22222]I challenge you Zeus[/color]"

(After potential responses)

"[color=#b22222]I'll go first! Draw! First I shall summon Inferno Prodigy![/color] " A young Girl appears from the flames my Duel Disk still dead as night as I place the card on it, The Girl slams her staff on the Ground as a Card of female appears in front of her and shows Inferno chain blasting as I add the card from my deck without looking. "[color=#b22222]Her ability adds my Inferno chain blasting to my hand, But that is not all shes a very special monster, Now I Exile, her and her other counterparts in my deck permanently from the duel, and Now! Shell Rise up and Grasp her true potential![/color] "

"[color=#b22222]My Spirit Burns White Hot as the Flames Spew From my Very Soul! As we Join in this Battle Come Fourth
My Guardian of the Flames! Burn Inferno Hearts! Ascend Summon!!!!! Inferno, True Justice![/color] "

The magician yelps once before being incased in a metal coffin, that Quickly melds to her and breaks apart revealing it to be armor, the head piece almost shatters completely leaving her with her face uncovered with red shades.
" [color=#b22222]I shall set three spells and traps and end my turn with that![/color] "

[color=#800000]"What the freaking hell, was that Aphrodite?!" [/color]Bellarose shrieked in horror, she had been ignoring the girl, finishing her coffee, until she had turned into a man and BURST INTO FREAKING FLAMES! [color=#800080]"Oh... hell it's Prometheus, he's joined with Kronos, damn it Prometheus we are your fellow Immortals, do you think Kronos will show anymore mercy to you, we sealed him away for eternity, you can't be that stupid can you, what could any of you accomplish from reviving Kronos, he wants to kill humans, and I don't think he holds a special place in his heart for the rest of us!"[/color] Aphrodite screamed at her fellow Immortal, in an attempt to get through to him. [color=#800000]"Aphrodite, they joined with freaking [i]Kronos [/i]if he's as bad as you say he is, there is not an ounce of sanity left in them, nor is there any compassion in them, all there is left is to crush them." [/color]Bellarose responded with a hard look. Meanwhile Marley, who had been silent in the corner of the cafe the whole time, smiled the cultists had revealed themselves.

[color=#FFD700]"Prometheus, I should have recognised that fire ability for what it was. We accept your challenge."[/color] Kayla walked up and activated her disk, before drawing her starting hand and watching as her opponent performed a summon she'd never heard of before, calling forth an armoured magician. [color=#FFA500]"Ascend Summon eh, sounds like an interesting new mechanic in the game. Regardless, lets see how well it does. My turn, Draw. I'll start by playing this one, Cyber Valley to the field in attack mode. Then, one set card and I'll end my turn."[/color] In front of Kayla a small mechanical snake appeared, before being joined by a set card. [i]I've got Cyber Valley at least to protect me for the turn, and the set card is the only trap I use in this deck, Royal Decree. Between the two of them I should gain enough advantage to pull off something decent next turn. Doesn't help that my hand consists currently of Photon Satellite, Galaxy Exploration, Foolish Burial and Pot of Avarice, no cards i can use currently for anything good.[/i]

LP: 4000
Hand: 4 cards
Field: Cyber Valley, 1 Set Card

The young girl possessed by Prometheus, raises her hand at Aphrodite. "[color=#b22222]Be silent wench! You of all people have no right to try to be quaint with me! You also the goddess of love and compassion left me chained to that rock, day after day my body was torn asunder! By this jealous fool![/color] " Prometheus yells loudly his voice powerful and domineering, as he yells at her but turns spiteful and angry as he points at Zeus. "[color=#b22222]I am not loyal to Chronos only to the girl, She rescued me, and I will aid her in any quest she proclaims![/color] "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prometheus chained to the rock by magical chains, sighs as the eagle appears once more to eat his liver, when its struck down by a Ivy Whip, a girl with Red eyes and black hair smiles. "[color=#ff0000]Your priestess awaits you~ Take my hand, I shall free you and take you to her~[/color] " The girl says with an evil grin, Prometheus knows it wrong but the truth is this woman has spared her a terrible fate, he reaches out to her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"[color=#b22222]Not so fast! As you end your turn I shall chain my face down Mystical Space Typhoon to your face down.[/color] " Prometheus Roars as the face down turns in to a tornado of fire and strike the opposing face down. "[color=#b22222]Draw... I would rather finish you my self but I am not strong enough, to be brought in to this plane, First I shall activate my Inferno chain blasting! I will Summon my Inferno Ninja Summoner![/color] " A young Ninja girl Appears in flames, and is surrounded by a Fire Dragon.
"[color=#b22222]Now her effect! I shall summon Hiita, the Inferno Sorceress from my Hand![/color] " A girl with red hair and a smile appears from the flames and slams her staff on the ground.

"[color=#b22222]Now! I shall Synchro summon the two girls! From the Flames of Hatred Deep in my Heart! Burst Fire! Synchro Summon! Inferno, CODE![/color] "

A girl appears as a mechanical version of her self hugs her as balls of purple fire appears around her, "[color=#b22222]Now! Using the Material used for her I will banish the two to destroy your Monster! Chain Blasting![/color] " Two balls of fire appear one strikes me inflicting 1000 damage to me and the second crashes against your monster. "[color=#b22222]Then CODE's effect! Return them and pop a card in your hand! Now I shall activate Monster Reborn to return Hiita to the field, and use her to strengthen my True, Justice![/color] " Justice grabs Hiita as Hiita turns in to a ball of fire, and pushes the sphere in to her chest, boosting her by 500, leaving her at a grand total of 3400.

"[color=#b22222]Now I take my revenge! Attack CODE! Double Fire Storm![/color] " as the fire disperses, Justice rears her arm coated in fire ready to strike down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"[color=#ffd700]Fine zen! I'll summon mie Elissa, ze Wanderer![/color]" A gear alpears in shimering light, and draws her rapir, "[color=#ffd700]Now! I'll attack! Hidden Justice![/color]" The girl slashes out with her rapir revieling a Naturia Clif.

"[color=#ee82ee]Hee hee~ You fell for it now! I'll special summon my Naturia Fruitfly~![/color]" The large chested miko says, jumping up with glee, her breasts jiggling, caousing the atention of boys to draw neer her duel.

"[color=#ffd700]You must be a Sucubus you temptrez! Now I'll enter ze main phase two and Ascend summon mie Queen of Justice Elissa![/color]" The girl shines bright as her travel gear is striped away and she gains royal armor. "[color=#ffd700]Now I set 1 and activate Omega, hall of justice! Now I change my monster to a fairy-type with her effect, set 2 s/t and end. [/color]"

Upon the end of the duel, in which he simply watched moments ago, it seemed that the two had won the duel effortlessly, as did he simply moments ago. It was reassuring to quite a degree, that these people were not simply push overs, and actually held some skill in the game he had placed nearly his entire life upon. No one really could understand his definition of a game, seeing as the game, unlike the ignorant people around him, was not a sport or thing to simply tossed around like a joke. No it was a game of sheer survival, and he would do everything in his powers to strike the opposition down, regardless to his winning or losing streaks, he would endure the tournament until he finally reached the epithet of his goal. Yet despite his goal, Hephaestus thought otherwise, and tried to make a hero out of him, which he scornfully denied, for he stood out as nothing to no one, except a thief, a vagabond, and one often pited for his lack nearly everything. As the darker parts of his mind slowly began creeping in his mind Hephaestus had taken the initiative and spoke to him in a less commanding tone, "[color=#FF0000]What doest thou find in the several host of my kin?[/color]" Asking him a question that he had to simply reply, and through telepathy spoke, forgetting at that one moment of the darker images he placed of himself. "[color=#0000FF]I have yet to analize all the hosts and am not sure of their capabilities, however if all goes to say the two whom dueled just now seemed to have much talent, and I would very much like to duel such people[/color]." Hephaestus taken back a moment by his more civil reply, had nodded her head, and continued to move forward instructing him through simple gestures in which he understood, and paused when he saw a duel going on inside the cafe. It was honestly one thing to watch, but repeatedly watching was quite tiresome, but he held no position, and simply asked Hephaestus, "[color=#0000FF]What plans do you have when you reunite all the immortals Hephaestus?[/color]" No word was said afterwards and he simply shook his head upon her cold reply. Nothing new, nor was it expected however. Regardless he simply eyed the remaining hosts and stayed curious as to what was going on, and walked up to host of Aphrodite. And with sign held up asked the girl, "[color=#0000FF]What beeth the name go by?[/color]"

[color=#800000]"Me?" [/color]Bellarose asked pointing to herself, [color=#800000]"I'm Bellarose, you know as in the model, actress, yeesh there's a startling amount of people who don't know me today,"[/color] Bellarose sighed, four days ago this would have been one of her biggest problems, know she was fighting for her life against ancient, and powerful beings.[color=#800080]"Wench!? How dare you Prometheus, I should rip your throat out right now!" [/color]Aphrodite was fuming, [color=#800080]"You have nobody for yourself to blame for what happened to you, you know damn well I had no power in that decision, Prometheus so help me if I ever get my hands on you I will rip you... limb... from freaking... flaming limb got it!" [/color]Aphrodite glared down at Prometheus, he was the slave to this girl, how... pathetic.

Kayla cringed as she was struck by the massive attack, after losing both her monster and a card from the hand. [color=#FFA500]"Pot of Avarice wasn't a great loss anyway, but it's still annoying. Anyway, draw."[/color] Kayla looked at her new card, before smiling at her opponent. [color=#FFA500]"I'll put up a challenge yet, Spell activate, Foolish Burial. I'll send the Photon Slayer straight to my graveyard with the effect."[/color] In front of Kayla, a shining warrior appeared briefly, before vanishing into her grave. [color=#FFA500]"Next up comes this, Galaxy Zero allows me to revive him from the graveyard, although he cannot attack and his effect is negated." [/color]The warrior appeared again, this time bowed over by the heat of the sun behind him. [color=#FFA500]"Then, I'll activate this spell, Galaxy Exploration allows me to summon a level 5 or higher Galaxy or Photon monster, as long as I have another on my field. Arise, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, Although he does have to be summoned into defence."[/color] The Glowing Dragon appeared, before being suddenly swallowed by a burst of flame.[color=#800000]"I'll intercept that with my spell, Inferno Javelin, to negate his summon and destroy him at the cost of 2000 Lifepoints."[/color] [color=#FFA500]"Fine, normal summon, Photon Satellite, and use your effect, choosing Photon Slayer, to make both yourself and Slayer to level 6." [/color]The warrior was joined by a small satellite, which seemed to then grow larger, along with the warrior. [color=#FFA500]"You should realise what comes next, Xyz summon. Appear, Photon Strike Bounzer."[/color] A red and blue coloured warrior appeared out of the overlay system, with a pair of Overlay Units floating around him. [color=#FFA500]"Photon Strike Bounzer attacks Inferno, C.O.D.E."[/color] [color=#800000]"If I'm going to lose him, I'll make use of him first, Inferno, True Justice activates his effect, tributing Inferno, C.O.D.E. to give himself an additional 500 ATK." [/color][color=#FFA500]"Just what I was waiting for, Photon Strike Bounzer, use your effect and finish her off. Once per turn, an xyz material is detatched to negate an effect monster's effect and destroy that same monster, as well as dealing 1000 damage to my opponent." [/color]The red and blue warrior charged the armoured girl, killing her before her effect could resolve, leaving Kayla's opponent at 0 life and with no monsters on the field. At that point, while Kayla charged her wristband with the duel points, getting her up to 50 points, Zeus, who had stayed silent until then, walked across to the posessed girl. [color=#FFD700]"Your time is over Prometheus, and we will keep Kronos locked away. Begone, and don't return here again."[/color] With that, Zeus let out a bolt of lightning from his hand, invisible to the ordinary patrons of the cafe, which struck the girl, banishing Prometheus from inside her.[color=#FFA500] "I guess that's over then. So what did you guys think of my deck?"[/color]

[BLUR]

Fade watched in awe as supernatural events unfolded before his very eyes. First was the awakening of Prometheus, and then Zeus' lightining bolt sending him back from whence he came after Kayla won the duel. Fade grinned wildly, thoroughly enjoying Kayla's dueling prowess.

"Your deck was awesome! You literally beat Prometheus within 4 turns! Now you've got me all pumped up to duel!" Fade said with excitement. Ares on the other hand, didn't look too excited. He seemed as if in thought, like something didn't go the way it should have.

[color=#800000]"Boy, do not forget the urgency of this situation. Something isn't right. Prometheus would not have chosen such a weak host, unless he was only meant to warn us that the Cultists have arrived. That must be it, as the Immortal of War, I know strategies, and they must have had this one in mind. Prometheus was nothing more than a test, to see how strong you hosts really are. Well, I think I can say you didn't dissapoint them."[/color] Ares said, talking to all the hosts in the room.

"Well now what? Whats our strategy?" Fade asked.

[color=#800000]"We have to find the other two immortals and their hosts first before we do anything, but i'm wondering how it is we will accomplish that,"[/color] Ares said, hoping his felllow immortals would have an answer.

Sage the nervous little introvert had to stop his escape from the menacing non-human who his deity of nature had warned him about. Apparently Artemis had noticed someone in the distance, or maybe more accurately something. As the lord of the Seas had reached out to his niece so did Artemis reach out to her Uncle.[b][color=#008000] Oh dear Poseidon how I have missed you! How are you? Is this your host? I can sense a great aura around this one.[/color][/b] She hugged her uncle deity as this union forced Sage to turn around and acknowledge the host that he has somewhat bumped into. [b]Um...hello my name is Sage and what is yours?[/b] He said while doing a combination of bowing and avoiding eye contact.

~~~~~~

He was certain now. Both of these boys were host and both of them must die in the name of the one true immortal Kronos. Alexander had slipped behind a trash can and he was able to still spy on the boys from a distance. He could read their mouths he could tell that one of them wasn't looking directly at the other but to side as if they were looking at someone else. He was about to pounce on these brats and rip their heads apart but at that moment he was interrupted by some unruly obnoxious brat talking trash.
Hey old..*oof* The little boy couldn't even form a full sentence as Alexander had punched him in his nether regions and watched the little one pass out. Of course Alexander couldn't just leave the boy like that other wise he would cause another unwanted scene. So he did the most logical thing to do at the moment. He stuffed the boy in the trash. No one seemed to notice so he proceeded to slink back further into the shadows.

[color=#000033]Soon all powerful Kronos I will rid you of these petulant vermin.[/color]
