Chapter 2 the deal is struck

---

Entering the room was a dark figure. Dartz tried to see his face but could not. The strangers whole body was all rapped up in bandages like a mummy except you could see his eyes (or what's left of them) and his mouth. Then a dark bluish aurora starts to surround him. Raphael just stared with his mouth open at the site. Dartz looked… well, like he didn't care. The bandages started to fall off and the body started morphing. The mummy-thing started screaming as if it were in pain. Eyes suddenly popped in his eye sockets. The dead flesh started to recover. When the transformation was done, it revealed a man surrounded in a black robe covering his face, only showing dark blood-red eyes that looked infected. Dartz finally spoke up; "Well, this certainly is a surprise. What brings you here my friend?" asks Dartz. "You…" Dartz was confused. "You…" He started to slowly approach him. He was heading for the room where all the cards were. But Raphael stopped him. "Where do you think you're going buddy." Dartz stepped in; "yes my friend, in order for you to become apart of our family, you must pass a test." The stranger's eyes glared at Dartz. "You must grab this Orichalcurse stone into your hand." Before he knew it, the rock started to glow a bright green aura. The only thing the stranger said was, "So be it." He gave a blood curdling screech and summoned thousands of shadow of himself. Raphael was freaked out but Dartz knew that they were an illusion. The stranger ran at amazing speed and easily grabbed the stone and an Orichalcurse symbol appeared on his head. "Congratulations my friend, welcome to our family." Raphael stepped away so that the stranger could enter the room. The stranger's eyes opened wide to see all the cards. He move in a way that made it look like his legs didn't move and he left an illusionary shadow behind. He grabbed many good cards (A.N.: Some cards will be made up) but one card caught his eye. It was the Necrovalley battle field card. It was behind a glass case. He smashed his fist and broke the glass and took the card. "Well, have you made your deck? This is your mission, capture the souls of Joey Wheeler, Seto Kaiba, and the Pharaoh." But when Dartz mentioned the name pharaoh, the stranger's eyes grew and looked enraged. "The pharaoh will die." Dartz was pleased. "Now go my soldier. Go and capture their souls!" The stranger only nodded. Suddenly his body and robe turned into a black ooze that drained through the floor. That was the beginning of Dartzs' BIG mistake.
