*Josiah and Virgo were the first to arrive back at the statue.*

"I hope the others get here soon." *Josiah was grinning.* "I want to tell them about these spell cards. Hmm... I wonder if we could import them back home..."

From where Neo and David was Neo could see a hotel nearby to where they were to be meeting so Neo took note of it and headed off to Josiah. Shauni would just have to meet up with them as he didn't fell like chasing her down. Then Neo got an idea.

"Hey Metalmorph, you know that card store nearby? Go tell Shauni that I'm going back to the meeting point. You can come to it after you tell her."

"Oh ok. See you in a bit."

Then Neo and David headed to the statue. When they arrived they saw Josiah and Virgo already standing there.

"Hey Josiah look what just happen to come back. My spell cards are usuable now. Oh and I did find a place to stay, just hope it's not full."

"Sorry we're late!"

"But you're not going to believe what we found here!"

"I made an interesting discovery myself-"

"And I wanted to tell you guys about the-"

"Spell Cards!" ((Oh, the colors... @.@))

"Well, there goes that idea."

"You guys know about them?"

"Yeah, I entered a tournament and won a few."

"We bought some from a weird shop..."

"The shop keeper? COMPLETELY INSANE."

"I think I remeber that place..."

*Although a little disapointed that everyone already knew about Spell Cards, Josiah was eager to see what cards they had.*

"Here, take a look at the cards I got." *He showed them the three cards he had won at the tournament.*

"Nice." *Neo nodded appreciatively.* "Those are all fairly rare, especially Supreme Haste. Here, take a look at what I have."

"It's too bad I don't have any monsters with me." *Jeff sighed.*

"Looks like I'm going to have to go shopping for some of those cards myself." *David muttered as he looked at Josiah and Neo's cards.*

"Actually, we bought some extras to give to everyone. Come on Silver, show them all the cards we got."

"All right, lesse what we got here... This one's Mobilize - it's supposed to cure a paralyzed or frozen monster and make them faster - and this one's Poison Pin, which Poisons your enemy. We got Cloud Cure, too - this one'll heal any monster a bit, but works best on Wind, Water, or Ice-typed monsters, and Guard, which makes it easier for you monster to defend itself... uh... I guess that's it. So you guys can have those; I got Up Flame, which makes Fire attacks more powerful, and then another Cloud Cure since I've got two Wind Monsters, an Ice Monster, a Water Monster, and a Water/Ice Monster." Silver handed the cards to David, since apparently he was the only one that could use them that didn't already have some.

"Cloud Cure? I remember that one. You can only get it at at the shop here..."

"How do you know so much about Spell Cards, anyway?"

"I used to live in this area, remeber? I've had my Spell Cards since then."

"Then why didn't you tell us about them?"

"...Uh... well... there's a funny story about that..."

Post by **Neo Zanther** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 5:59 pm

((Silver if you remember I posted when we were heading for the port that Neo had heard of the town but never acutally been there before so he wouldn't know about the shop, though there are shops that sell cards in the region.))

"Well thing is when I first got tossed into the area we came from my cards didn't work in the dark orca reagion and when we started to destroy the shrines they didn't work either. And in not working as in they were blank but couln't be used for anything else. But when I came back here after we defeated Bowen they worked again but then when I came for the Tournament they didn't work again so I figured why bother mentioning them when you guys wouldn't encounter them at all. Didn't expect to be comming back here with you guys."

"I have a total of about 20 or so cards but only use afew in my battles. I have on me a card that will cure any monster greatly and not just certion types so will work on any type. Then there are spell cards that will replace an attack for 1 turn but those are very rare and hard to find. But *shows one quickly and puts it back* I do happen to have one. It can only be used by a metal monster too."

Post by **Celebifly** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 6:31 pm

"Only by metal ones?" Opal's ears picked up. "I have to get me one of those..."

Post by **Silver** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 6:51 pm

((Huh? I didn't see that... And how could he have twenty when the limmit is five?))

"The looney bin didn't have anything like that at all... mostly healing cards and stat boosts."

"That's why we only got a few there..."

"Well, that and the fact that the giant robo Spinder on the wall was seriously creepin' me out."

"Spell cards?"
Everyone held out a card
"Aww...I thought I'd found something"

Neo Zanther wrote: Afew hours later they arrived in Astley Sea Port. Though Neo had never been to the place before he had heard of it.

((Yep I did and we said 5 spell cards in your deck. Doesn't mean you can't have more then 5 total. Card stores would go broke if that was the case cause not everyon has monsters. Just think of them as a side deck in Yu-Gi-Oh!.))

"Well you did but so did the rest of the group. I had some to start out with but they had slipped my mind when we arrived here. My bad really. But ya everyone seems to have at least 1 type of spell card though I'm the only one with an attack spell so far. But sometimes monsters here will drop a spell card when defeated. How else do these card shops get thier cards. Not to mention the expence of them." (Hope you're fine with that monster drop card thing)

Post by **Josiah** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 12:13 pm

((I was actually considering something along the lines of monsters dropping cards so it's fine with me.))

*Twenty minutes later...*

"Ok guys." *Josiah interrupted the ongoing conversation.* "I think we've talked enough about Spell Cards for now. It's getting late so let's head for the inn." *The others noticed for the first time how dark it was getting.*

"Follow me." *Shauni headed off down a nearby street with the others close behind.*

*Everyone was in high spirits as they neared the inn. The discovery of spell cards had put them in a good mood and, whether they'd admit it or not, they enjoyed being together for another adventure. Little did they know that, deep in the gathering shadows, something was watching them...*

The apparition of the Guardian looked over the inn. He had promised Midori that he would keep careful watch over these ones, especially the "two whose destinies were entwined with the fate of this world..."

"The Great Master supports you." he whispered into the stillness where his voice could not be heard, "And one day you will be our salvation..."

Post by **Josiah** » Sat Feb 04, 2006 2:52 pm

((I'm jumping things ahead a little. Hope nobody minds.))

*Morning dawned bright and early. After a quick breakfast the group left the city and struck out down a long road. They had found out virtually nothing about their enemy while in the port so, for the time being, they decided to head towards Neo's home village of D-Edge.*

"You know what?" *Josiah said suddenly.* "You guys sure are lucky to be traveling with me. You know, since I'm the world's greated monster trainer and all."

"What?!?" *Silver stopped and turned to face him.* "I'm just as good as you are, in fact I'm probably better!"

"You, better than me?" *It was Neo's turn to join the arguement.* "My loss to you was a fluke. It's obvious that I'm the best."

"I caught a Shadow of souls!"

"My magic could beat all of you!"

"If it wasn't for me..."

"When I had my monsters..."

*Soon everyone except for Virgo and Metalmorph were in the midst of heated arguement.*

*Virgo edged back nervously, unsure why everyone was suddenly fighting. Why were they all so set on proving themselves the best? Something didn't feel right... Sensing a prescence in a nearby cluster of trees she turned.* "Heavenly spear!" *She hurled her weapon into the trees, causing a small explosion. Imediatly everyone stopped fighting.*

"Ugh..." *Josiah shook his head.* "What were we talking about?"

"So," *a figure emerged from the remaining trees,* "you're a monster. No wonder you weren't affected by my powers." *It was a woman wearing a long cloak. But she certainly wasn't human, her gray skin and green hair proved that.* "I've been waiting for you all to come this way. Unfortunately, you will not pass this point."

"Who are you?"

"I am Ivy of the Pride, the greatest of the Seven Deadly Sins. You seek to interfere with my master's plans. That can not be allowed."

"You think you can stop us?" *Josiah stepped forward.* "It's your funeral if you try."

"Fools. Let me show you just how great I am!" *She reached into her cloak and pulled out several monster cards.* "Crush them my minions!"

((Boss time! Naturally we have to defeat her normal form and then her demonic one as well.))

Meanwhile, on the plains outside of D-Edge...

Mahri was sleeping on the back of the Guardian as he carried her through the early morning mists in pensive silence. He was singing a gentle song as he walked along, something he had done often on long walks like this.

"Forgotten prophecy
"Of a past non-existent,
"Of heroes strong and fabled,
"Willing and able,
"Called forth to a land not their own."

"Sing of the world they left behind!
"Sing of the lives undone...
"All for the cause of giving the lifeless life...
"All for the cause of giving the lifeless life..."

He stopped in mid-verse and looked up. The winds coming from the road to Port Astley were a foul with angry darkness.

"A tainted Dryad... Her pride will be her fall. The ones she challenges will make short work of her. I need not intervene." he whispered. "She may, however, vow revenge after her defeat. The Seven are more resilient than the Gamers think."

And he kept walking, listening to Mahri mutter the next verse of the song in her sleep.

"This life came from Nothing
"To nothing it will go
"Villains sworn to erase it
"Destruction will embrace it
"But a salvation can change the tide..."

"Sing of the world they left behind!
"Sing of the lives undone...
"All for the cause of giving the lifeless life...
"All for the cause of giving the lifeless life..."

The guardian squinted through the mists. He saw it for a fleeting moment before it vanished. He nodded and set the sleeping little Mahri down before vanishing into the mists, where he could watch over her and keep her safe.

"W-what is she?? She's not a monster."
"She's a Dryad. There a race of peaceful forest dwellers that rarely show themselves...this one...this one is poisoned." Neo informed them

Ivy threw two cards to the ground. They were two mandrakes. She then threw another and a Poison Pyrogothica appeared
"You come here to our domain under the pretence of saving our people...but you just her for conquest. Isn't your own stupid continent enough"
"Hay! We came here to stop YOU from attacking our cities"

Ivy looked on blankly at Josiah "The Deadly Sin House was merely retaliating for your attacks on our city Stamford Raffles. Your army flattened my home town...and for that...you will all die!"
She jumped down with her monster and began to attack with them
"Wait?? What are you talking about?!? We don't have an army out to get you?!"
Ivy ran past everyone and charged at Shauni "SILENCE! I won't here your lies you murdering scum! Your army's killed my brother and my sister!! I won't have you standing there and denying it! I sold my soul to the master for the chance of vengeance!"

Ivy slashed with her claw, but Shauni dodge
"WAIT! LETS TALKING ABOUT THIS! THEIRS BEEN SOME MISUNDERSTANDING"

((Ivy is under the impression that Orca has attacked Cap-cannon first. I wonder who attack Cap-cannon hum?? Bwhahahaha!))
