Man I'm sorry that I have not updated in nearly a month! I've been out of town and handlin' business. Okay so here's the chapter 6. In this Chapter we will see how Iris fares against Elemental Mistress Doriado and her Ritual deck. I can't say too much else or I will risk ruining the chapter. Alright lets go.

Yugioh GX – Saviors

Arc 1 Chapter 2- Operation save Lauren (Part 2)

Demise, The king of Armageddon stood down Iris as if she had done something to upset him. Elemental Mistress Doriado wasted no time getting one of her power houses onto the field. Iris has not event taken a turn in the duel yet and she already felt at a disadvantage.

Demise, King of Armageddon lv8 2400/2000

"How do you like your chances of winning now." Doriado taunted her opponent. "My Demise will make a mess of your entire deck, what ever it may be."

Iris looked worried as she stared at the ax wielding fiend. "Please tell me that you didn't play your strongest card on your very first turn." Iris asked. "That such a ridiculously unsafe move. I could have any kind of card right now. The thing is not invincible."

Doriado scowled at the girl. "I will actually do damage to you next turn. For now I must end my move."

Iris drew a card from her deck and stared at the cards in her hand. Nothing to take out her monster... Nothing even close. But I can always freeze it. Iris took a card from her hand and played it. "I summon from my hand Maverick Wolfang!"

From a watery portal rose a humanoid wolf. He wore blue armor, some of it was made of ice. His limbs, and hair were completely made up from ice.

Maverick Wolfang lv4 1900/1200

"Now with this monster on the field I am allowed to do something I like to call freeze a card! I simply pay 1000 life points and your monster cannot attack or switch it's position during your turn except by a cards effect." As Iris explained the Wolf man placed its icy claws on the ground of the room and from the claws shot out an Icy wind which completely froze the monster in place.

"DEMISE!" The Elemental mistress exclaimed. "How dare you do that to my monster! I will obliterate you for your disrespect!"

"Well that is just going to have to wait till next turn." Iris stuck her tongue at the Small girl. Elemental Mistress Doriado glared at Iris and then waved her hand. Iris gasped quickly and braced herself to be thrown against the wall...

'What is this?" Doriado pondered. She waved her hand back and forth and concentrated. Her telekinetic powers were not working. "This is ludicrous! My powers are inactive during a dark duel apparently." Doriado growled. Iris sighed in relief.

"Dodged a bullet there." Iris said. "Now that we stand on even ground..."

"Just take your turn!" Doriado interrupted.

"Ooo touchy." Iris chuckled. "I play the continuous spell card Machina Armored Unit." A continuous spell card appeared that depicted a picture of Machina Soldier exploding. "This spell card allows me to special summon a machine type monster when one of mine are destroyed. The catch is it has to be the same attribute and less ATK points."

"I am not impressed..." Doriado said nonchalantly. Iris rolled her eyes.

"Not on my to do list to impress an Entity." Iris shot back. "Now I set a card and end my turn." A holographic face-down card appeared behind Wolfang. "Now take your turn." Iris commanded. A card from Doriado's deck floated to her hand, making it a total of four.

"I will have to vanquish my monster unfortunately..." Doriado said. Iris became worried. "I play the spell card Advanced ritual art!"

"Damn... it's gonna be one of those duels I suppose." Iris complained.

"This card allows me to special summon a ritual monster from my hand! I have to send normal monsters that are located in my deck to the graveyard and from there another ritual beast shall appear." The Entity said the images of Gene Warped Werewolf, and Alien Shocktrooper.

"From my hand I will produce the Queen of oblivion! I Ritual summon Ruin, Queen of oblivion!" A dark spotlight hit the field. Then from the spotlight a dark mist materialized. A figure was seen in the dark mist. A Caucasian woman wearing red and black walked through the field. She had soft, flowing white hair. In her hands she carried a red staff. At the tip of the staff a black ember flickered.

Ruin, Queen Of Oblivion lv8 2300/2000

"Now I have to deal with both of them..." Iris said. "That manageable... I believe."

"I will summon Manju of the ten thousand hand back to the field!" The black monster with seemingly infinite arms appeared once again.

Manju of the ten thousand hands lv4 1400/1000

"Now Because of his effect I shall add the Black Illusion Ritual, ritual spell card to my hand!" The card magically appeared in Doriado's hand. Iris stared at the frozen Demise, and the newly summon Ruin. Iris was beginning to wonder what She would use to defeat the monsters. Doriado was in no mood to let her plan her moves.

"BEGIN THE ONSLAUT! RUIN ATTACK WOLFANG!" Ruin stuck her staff out towards the iced-out mechanical wolf. A black flame shot out of the staff. The Flame circled the wolf. It slowly melted the ice that surrounded the monster. The monster fell to his knee, gasping for air.

"That enough torture my dear Queen." Doriado said. Ruin nodded her head. She had a malicious smile on her face. The monster enjoyed Wolfang's misery. Wolfang was nothing more then a silver wolf with no armor. Ruin then willed the flames to engulf the wolf. The did just so. The black flame compressed together upon the poor wolf. After a few second the flames began to die down, leaving nothing but a burned ground.

D:8000

Iris was astounded by the intensity of the attack. It was as if the flames were trying to reach out and grab her. She realized that she could not let that slow her down. "I activate my Cyber Summon Blaster." Iris pressed a button on her duel disk to reveal her continuous trap when she noticed that her arm was singed.

"Oh... that not good..." Iris whispered as her face – down card activated. "This card if Cyber summon Blaster. This card deals you 300 points of damage every time I special a Machine type monster.".

"Well bring your next victim to the field!" Doriado exclaimed. Iris scanned her deck and quickly chose a card.

"I summon my Maverick Penguin to the field !" Iris declared her summoning and a ice portal emerged on the field. A miniature monster shot out onto the field. It wore dark purple body armor and it had a beak that was metallic. It seemed to actually be a penguin.

Maverick Penguin lv4 1600/1000

"Welcome to the game Maverick Penguin, and what a welcome it is because you do a plethora amount of things!" Iris said to the Penguin. Suddenly a black machine gun appeared out of the continuous spell card that was on Iris's field. It shot out 3 large green bullets and they darted towards Doriado. She raised her hands ,pointed them outwards and willed the bullets to stop in their tracks.

D:7700

I:6600

The bullets dropped to the ground and shattered into pixels. "What was that!" Doriado exclaimed. Iris had a smirk on her face.

"That was the effect of Cyber summon blaster. It deals you 300 damage when a machine is special summon... Remember?" Iris reminded. Doriado became annoyed.

If my powers worked to stop the bullets maybe they can work again... against that little brat! Doriado considered the thought, then she acted the thought out. She quickly waved her hand and willed Iris to slam into the walls of stone. Nothing happened at all.

"Aww darn!" Iris mocked. "Still does not work against me."

"It will work eventually!" The mistress shouted.

"Well now that your done with your little hissy fit I will continue to explain my monsters ability." Iris said as the Penguin began to spin in place. Doriado became confused.

"What are you doing You sub aquatic moron!" Doriado yelled at the Penguin. Almost instantly the Penguin stopped and stared at the Ruin, the Queen of Armageddon. It didn't just stare at Ruin, it glared.

"My monster has the ability to keep your monster from attacking during this battle phase of this turn, when it is special summoned to the field." Iris added. The Penguin stuck it's tongue out at the demonic woman then her black staff was completely frozen, preventing the ritual monster from attacking.

"...Just a simple setback" Doriado was clearly angry because of her tone. She was speaking through gritted teeth. "I end my turn..."

"Oh hell yeah!" Iris exclaimed as she drew her card. "I play the spell card Machine assembly line!" Soon after a large factory line with small parts going through it appeared. The parts were rusted and useless. "This continuous spell card gives my all machine type monsters on the field 200 extra attack points!" Iris shouted as her small penguin began to grow.

Maverick Penguin 1600 ~1800 ATK.

"Okay now I will summon my Maverick Hornet!" Iris declared her summoned and a a gust of wind blew into the stone room. Iris and Doriado covered their faces from the flying debris. Suddenly a metallic hornet flew into the room. It was big and tall and carried a red blaster

Maverick Hornet lv4 1600/1000 ~ 1800/1000

Doriado examined the oversized bug. "That is an repulsive thing." She complained with a gross expression.

"Look all your damn comments are not need you little shrimp!" Iris shouted back at her. "You are really going to regret talking all this noise about my monsters! Let me show you now!" Suddenly two small silver hornets appeared on the field. "When my Maverick Hornet is summoned to the field I can special summon two Hornet tokens to my side of the field in defense mode."

Hornet tokens lv1 0/0 ~300/0 x2

The Cyber summon blaster appeared on the field and shot Doriado. She was not quick enough to deflect the shots however.

I:6600

D:6700

"My Tokens are considered machine type monster so Cyber summon blaster's effect will deal you some damage!" Iris stated.

"You will pay dearly!" Doriado promised. Iris nodded her head sarcastically.

"I'm very sure!" Iris replied. "My tokens cannot be released or tributed... But they do have a inflicting effect." Iris continued. "Now I will take my first attack of the duel! Go on and strike Manju my hornet! Metallic sting!" The monster dashed over to the unprepared monster and stung it in its back causing it to explode.

D:7300

I:6600

"I place one card face-down and end my turn." Iris concluded as the holographic face – down card appeared on the field.

"Don't think this does anything! I draw...!"

"Lemme stop you there!" Iris interrupted as her face-down card activated. The card picture was a picture of Gilfer, the lightning getting zapped by a purple energy. "This card is called Power jump! This allows either us to tribute monsters on our side, and in return We get to negate the effect of a monster that either of us control. And the opponent cannot activate the cards effect till their next turn." Iris explained.

"Well I will not let that stop my turn. Because all I need is power!" Doriado yelled as she began her battle phase. "I will attack with Ruin! Take out the annoying Penguin!" Ruin's staff became useable again. The black flames ignited as the woman slashed the hornet in two pieces, destroying it.

I:6100

D:7300

"Now I will activate Ruin's effect and I am able to attack you again in a row!" Doriado declared. Iris then slid one of the Hornet tokens to the graveyard slot.

"Not if I want it to happen! I use Power jumps ability and send my hornet token to the graveyard to negate your monster ability!" She replied as the hornet left the field. A purple energy zapped the Queen of Demise into submission. Then an icy aura surrounded Doriado.

D:6100

I:6100

"Oh I forgot to add that when a Hornet is sent to the graveyard you lose 500 life points!" Iris said. Doriado shook off the cold temperature and continued her turn.

"I attack with Demise! Death slash!" Doriado declared her attack as the monster brought down his weapon of destruction upon the the large mechanical hornet. The monster shattered into pixels and from the pixels small shards of stone began to hit Iris.

D:6100

I:5300

Iris shielded her face from the shards of stone using her duel disk. The rest of her body was not so lucky. The few shards that were big enough to do real damage left scraps on her arms and legs. She was bleeding slightly from the scratches.

Iris was breathing heavily. Doriado wore an evil smirk of enjoyment. "Misery... that's what I enjoy the most you know." Doriado construed "I can continue doing this for much longer. Keep summoning those monsters and I will knock them down."

"I... Won't let my... monsters or my friends down..." Iris gasped. She touched her small wounds and whined in pain. "I will defeat you... eventually." She said as she straightened her body. Doriado grinned at her pain. Iris stared at the little girl. "I can't use my Machine armored unit because I have nothing to summon..." Iris stated. Then she put on a small smile. "I do have my power to work off of however..." Iris closed her eyes and place her index and middle finger on her deck

Special draw time Iris thought. Doriado looked at her in confusion. "What Is this power you speak of?" Doriado asked. She received no response however. Iris was busy concentrating on her deck.

Inside of Iris's mind you can see the shape of a duel monsters card. It is completely white and has not text on it. Soon enough the card begin to form. You see the card slowly turn to a shade of light green. Soon you see the 'spell card' symbol appear at the bottom of the card. A few seconds later a shining light slowly forms over the card. Once the light leaves you can see the picture of the card. It shows two men in body armor throwing gold coins into air. There is a delightful expression on their faces. But behind the men two grim reapers stand behind them with their scythes ready to strike at will.

Iris draws her card quickly. "I play the spell card fortune of the reapers!" Iris shouted as she slid her card into the spell and trap card zone.

"What is that?" Doriado asked with suspicion in her voice

"This card allows both of us to send our hands to the bottom of the deck." Iris and Doriado slid their cards into the bottom of the decks. "Now we can each pay in intervals of 800 life points to draw cards off the top of the deck. The max however is 3200 life points." Doriado nodded as two cards magically floated to her hand. Iris however drew four cards. Then a gray aura surrounded them both and drained their energy.

D:4500

I:2100

Both the duelist were breathing heavily after they drew their cards. Iris was struggling to make her body limbs move at will. "...I now... play the spell card... Cost down..." Iris played her cards slowly. "I can now discard a card... and my cards (breath) lose two levels... for the turn." Iris then discarded a card. Nothing happened in return. "Underwhelming huh?" iris chuckled. Then she began to breath in and out of her mouth to catch the air that she lost from her chuckle.

"You still try to keep that ludicrous sense of humor. Even in your state... its amusing to say the least." Doriado said.

"Hey... gotta be optimistic." Countered Iris as she slid another card into the spell and trap card slot. "I'm finding my energy again." Iris commented. "I play Maverick spider!" Iris declared her summoning and soon a man in a black trench coat roses from a portal of golden light. He carried a deck of cards in his hand and seemed to be a Cyborg, part machine, part human.

Maverick Spider lv6 ~ lv4 2000/2500 ~ 2200/2500

"So you summoned a level 6 monster automatically thanks to your card "Cost down"... not to impressed." Doriado yawned.

"Oh well Lemme show you his effect! When this card is summoned to the field I can choose a monster that you control and decrease its ATK by the number of star levels it has X 100!" Iris exclaimed. Doriado looked torn.

It looks as though I'm going to have to tribute my one of my monsters to negate his effect. Otherwise I could risk losing both of them in the long run. Thought Doriado.

"It looks as though I'm going to tribute Demise, The king of Armageddon to negate your monsters effect!" Doriado began to take the card off of the duel disk.

"YOU STOP THIS MADDNESS!" A loud booming voice said. It was Demise voice's. Iris and Doriado were completely appalled.

"YOU WILL NOT GET RID OF ME! I REFUSE TO TAKE THIS! I AM THE BEST MONSTER THAT THIS PATHETIC GAME HAS EVER SEEN! I AM THE GREAT ARMAGEDDON KING!" Demise began. Flames were in his eyes, literally. His ax was ready to strike.

"Demise!" Doriado said. "What are you doing! You can try to take me out! I am your master! I control you! You do as I say, when I say it!" Doriado asserted. Demise looked at Ruin who was still in the same position she was.

"You have no back bone Ruin." The monster said to his counterpart. He then focused his attention on his ax.

"Ax of doom destroy this sanctuary... and this inhabitants." Demise said darkly. Then the ground began to shake.

"Demise, what have you done!" Doriado exclaimed. She was clearly frightened as the room began to crumble. Iris assessed the situation. Doriado begged for Demise to stop. He didn't listen.

"You brought this upon yourself! Now face the consequences." Demise yelled. He spun the doom ax in a circle. The ax began to glow a blacker aura. Iris turned to see the situation. Demise smiled devilishly at his former master.

"Good bye Doriado." Demise slammed his ax against the ground. Doriado's face was in shock as a black dome of magic engulfed the sanctuary.

Daniel and Scott were running through the static dirt forest. They had no destination in mind. Daniel was awaiting a signal of some sort from Iris.

"Where are we running to!" Scott asked. He was staring at the dirt that flew into the air as they ran. Scott got a few mouthfuls of the dirt while running. It tasted metallic and moist.

"This is turning into a nightmare that does not end DANIEL!" Scott commented. Daniel jogged constantly. He felt no need to respond to Scott's questions and comments.

Then they saw it...

"What is that..." Scott and Daniel said in unison as they came to a halt. The black dome was humongous and extending more and more...

"This is unreal." Daniel breathed. He was in utter shock at the large concentration of magic. The magic dome grew closer to boys. Scott and Daniel tried to run but were held in place by an unnatural force. The magic grew closer to them.

"I can't move..." Scott struggled.

"This is... not right..." Daniel said. He was wiggling his fingers. He couldn't move any other body part. The magic was just feet way from absorbing the two duelist.

"I'm too young!" Scott sighed.

"..." Daniel had no reply. He knew it was the end for Scott and him. Daniel closed his eyes and exhaled a breath and waited for the impact he thought he would feel.

The dark magic closed in and engulfed them.

As the magic dome absorbed the two boys it continued to grow larger and wider. At the rate it was growing it would take the forest within twenty minutes, and Duel academy island in less than two hours.

Demise is cackling evily as Daniel and Scott fall in to the room from a black and gray portal.

"Ahh...! Ooph!" Daniel and Scott both and hit the stone floor.

"Ahh my ass." Daniel groaned as the stood up. Scott copied his action. Daniel looked around and concluded that he was in the sanctuary.

"How did we get here?" Daniel mused as looked around the stone building. He saw nothing but eroded rocks stacked upon each other.

"What the hell happened here?" Scott wondered as he kicked the rocks around his feet. Daniel walked around the room, examining It. He touched the walls of stone. He noticed that a back mist was seeping from the walls. It was not noticeable from afar but when he walked towards it and really focused he could see it. He waved his hand through the mist. It left a light black cover on his hand.

"This is really freaky..." Daniel whispered to himself.

"What is this place Daniel?" Scott whined. He walked over to Daniel and noticed the mist as well. "HOW THE HELL IS MIST COMING FROM WALLS!"

Daniel stared at trying to figure out why this was happening and what it meant when a female voice screamed out. Daniel and Scott were alert instantly and wasted no time to get outside of the room and investigate.

A few seconds later the two boys arrived outside and were instantly taken aback. They examined the outside an noticed the gray exterior of the trees and dirt. What really caught there eyes was a seeing Iris running from a giant monster. Daniel recognized the monster.

"IRIS!" Scott yelled out to his girlfriend. She heard his call and dashed over to him. She tackled Scott to the ground when she ran into his arms for protection.

"Oh my god I'm so glad your here... That thing is about to kill me!" iris panted. Scott stroked her hair comfortingly as he shushed her calmly. Daniel stepped in front of the couple to protect them.

"I will not let that thing touch us..." Daniel promised in a sincere voice. Daniel put his hands out to his sides and activated his duel disk. "That monster is Demise isn't it Iris?"

She sniffles and answers yes to his question. Daniel gulped as Demise caught sight of the duelist.

"You ruined my meal!" Demise boomed as he turned his body to face the three duelist. He was a few yards away from them. Daniel took in a large breath to calm his fear down. He knew that he he would have to protect them from this monster.

"I... will not let you hurt them." Daniel replied. Demise then roared. His roar blew grays leafs and dirt all around. Iris's hair blew all around her head as she pressed her head into Scott's chest.

The roar finally came to an end. "You believe that a lowly duelist like yourself has any chance in stopping a beast like myself!" Demise thundered. The ax that he was carrying pulsated and released a black aura.

"Daniel... He has Lauren hostage!" Iris shouted. "He is going to kill her!" This sent chills down Daniel's spine. Demise cackled.

"It's completely true what the tasty girl speaks! I have your friend that you came here to rescue! But none of you will be leaving here tonight... I will devour all of you whole." Demise gave his devilish grin to Daniel. Scott's eyes widen.

"Eat...us..." he whispered. Daniel heard the fright in his voice. He turned around and faced the couple. He keeled to his knees. His expression went from slight dread to complete fearlessness.

"Scott and Iris... I want you to take what I'm about to say to heart." Daniel began. "I. Will .Save. Us. All."

Scott and Iris knew that Daniel would protect them at that moment. A feeling of protection and security washed over the three of them. Daniel nodded to the Iris and Scott and then turned around and was shocked to see Demise standing about a yard away from them.

"There's no way you can take me out! I will destroy you three and then go on a rampage across the entire world!" Demise explained.

"You will not be doing any of those things while I'm around." Daniel said. "I will rid you from this island!" A golden aura surrounded Daniel. His voice sounded as if two being existed in his body.

"YOUR SOUL IS MOUTHWATERING!" Demise shouted and quickly tried to grab Daniel. The aura around his body turned to a fiery orange color and raged out towards the monster. Demise touched to the flaming aura and screeched in pain. He jumped a few feet back, landing on the gray dirt and putting a dent in the ground where he stood.

"I said you will not touch any of us." Daniel reminded. His blue eyes flashed a golden red color as his he inserted his dueling deck into the deck slot. "Golden binds of heaven reach out and entrap this monster!" Daniel spoke the words and from the fire orange aura golden bonds tied to Demise, King of Armageddon. He tried to struggle and found out that it was useless.

"What is that surrounding him?" Scott said aloud.

"How... Is a human doing this!" He thought aloud. "These chains can only be cast by the Paladin Guardians! This cannot be!"

Iris expression went from a faint smile to completely flabbergasted. Did he say Paladin Guardian? Iris thought. He's right. Those guys are not suppose to be on earth... Could it be...

Demise was slammed to the ground by Daniel and his fiery aura chains.

"You will release the girl that you have capture!" Daniel commanded. "Then prepare yourself for vanquishing."

"I WILL DO NO SUCH THING!" The king of Armageddon boomed. He then screamed out loud. His scream seemed to trigger his own dark aura to form around his ax. The ax began to float in the air. Demise willed it to fly and cut the aura chains.

"Oh... You are going to be a difficult one!" Daniel grinned. His voice still seemed to be heard as if it was two people. "Vanquish ceremony commence!" Daniel slammed his hands together and above his head eight goblets appeared. Each pair of goblets were decorated with a different color of stone that shimmered. The first pair was blood red, the second shining golden, third emerald green, and lastly indigo blue.

"You..." Demise said darkly. "I see you want to send me to the hell realm... Well get past me and my deck!"

Daniel nodded in a silent agreement. He willed the aura to contract back to his side. The golden aura appeared again and just surrounded the outline of his body. Demise willed for his ax to appear in his hands again and a puff a black smoke developed and in his arms the ax was back.

"Allow me to prepare myself!" Demise then began to concentrate on the ax. It began to deteriorate. It became a black mist. The mist stayed in the area of Demise's wrist.

"Dark duel disk form!" The mist compressed itself and began to form the shape of a duel disk that was attached to Demise's arm. A deck was in the duel disk as well.

"Now..." Daniel stated. "Time to vanquish an Entity!"

Well that's done. I hope you guys enjoyed it. I know it could have used a bit more action and a little less partial dueling. The next chapter will be completely AWESOME I assure you. So I'm out guys! read and reply! see ya
