Shadow Games
Kaiba’s eyes widened in surprise when Malugia materialized on the field. He makes particularly sure that Coella’s deck hardly had any significant cards that would put her in a favorable position. “Did I make a mistake?” He pondered at first, then soon rejected. Kaiba makes no mistakes. Everything done was calculated to the tiniest of details. The only logical explanation was that Coella’s luck was interfering with the game and slowly shifting to her favor.
Malugia appeared on the field in its true form he took when he attempted to murder the audience earlier. A black ball with a large hat, floating white gloves and a gigantic medallion around his neck. His puppet was subsequently sent to bush away from the battlefield. Straight away, Malugia’s evil aura radiated the terrain; instantly changing the landscape from a bountiful vegetation to a near desolate land.
“….” Malugia opened his crazed, swirly eyes and stare directly at Seto Kaiba. “How bold…” The Evil God spoke with such venom behind his words. Raising his hand and twirling his fingers and performing magic. “I’m not sure how you managed to capture me—that is an impossibility by the highest degree. I’ve studied the mortals of this realm, and none have what it takes to even come close to a power of a Creator God. I refuse that I was endangered of any kind by the hands of one without some influence of similar status.”
“Weren’t you struggling against some crusty, old man just a while ago, Mister Creator God?” Kaiba quickly retorted.
Malugia frowned as black particles gathered in his hands. “Fool, if you think I was struggling at any time…” He took great offensive to Kaiba’s snarky comments. “I’ll demonstrate how terrifying I am.”
In attempt to strike Kaiba, Malugia found himself unable to do the deed. Due to Coella’s command, the Malugia’s body was forced to cease all intentions of attacking Kaiba. “What…? I cannot control my actions…”
“How’s embarrassing.” Kaiba drew another card from his deck and smirks. He summons the card straight away, but that person disappears into the darkness. “
“How is this possible…?” Malugia narrowed his head when explanations of the rules filled his head. Courtesy by Kaiba to avoid combatants from freaking out of their situation every time they appeared on the field. Most certainly, to avoid them from constantly attacking Kaiba.
“Looks like you understand. Now, I have a game to win. I grow tired of your excessive monologue.” Kaiba eyed Coella as he no longer cares of the Creator God has to say after that. “Your luck is unpredictable as always. That’s why I need it. Can you imagine your luck under the right hands? My hands? Forget making an excessive number of profits I’ll gained, I’ll be unstoppable literally and figuratively.”

Daiman pointed out Malugia. He coward behind Mooli. “It’s that scary thing! Before Kaiba turned everyone into cards, that thing was about to slaughter everyone in the stadium!”
“Hmm, Malugia. I never thought to see him outside of Omnipotent City.” Lucifer recognized the Evil God. “It seems that he’s acting on his own though. I do not sense another Creator Gods roaming around nearby.”

“Humiliating me… how bold.” Malugia’s voice reeks of anger. “Forcing me into this childish feud… my powers are beyond greater than—” His eyes trail away from Kaiba and eyed on Vegetto. The man he was looking for this entire time. “But I’ll let your transgression slide, mortal. Vegetto… this wasn’t exactly a preferrable place for us to meet, but nevertheless, it is good to finally see you.” Malugia smiles, showing off his sharp teeth. “You’re a hard man to find, but I’m glad we got to meet. When I saw you on the news, violently shouting to that pathetic creature [Spina]… I knew you were the right person. That toxicity… just excellent for me to rebuild my evil prowess so I can maintain this body permanently.”
Feeling the sensation of battle commanded by Coella forcing his body to act without his input, Malugia continued. “I am seeking a body that is perfectly built to maintain my constant evil pressure, and you are the perfect candidate. That toxic energy you’re constantly spilling…. I can sense it, but that’s just the surface. But truly attracted me to you is the dark heart you’re carrying. A dark heart that should’ve allowed you to destroy those Breakers and force them to their heel where they belong. It is etched in your soul, there’s a warrior that wants to bring out but can’t because of an ill-advised moral compass. Rest assures, you’ll have no need for concern once I take over.”
The battlefield started to change once again—mountain ranges, forests, floodings appeared. “After I become victorious in these silly games, your body is mines for the taking. You should be honored for accepting such a role.” The evil god turns to Myers. “You. Go fight that lifeform [Brachi]. I’ll make quick work with Vegetto.” With a flick of a finger, Malugia pulled up pellets of rocks from the ground and flung them into the air. “Daggers of Evil.” Turning the pellets into swift blades and encasing them with “strange evil magic”, all headed to Vegetto in all directions. They were quite nimble, making it quite difficult to dodge for the average person. The daggers left trails of darkness in their wake, causing anything that exposes to it to rot away quite significantly.
Michael Myers jumped from rock to rock and headed straight for Brachi. Able to freely move thanks to Coella’s command, the masked man flashed his dagger with his right hand, while grabbing Brachi’s neck with his left.
“Tch. Thought I was going to be put to sleep for all this monologue! Johnny, standby. Vegetto and Brachi—fight them off and destroy them!” Kaiba commanded. He was concerned that Coella had a Creator God, but the man is still confident. “I’ll end Coella on this turn and claim victory.” He muttered to himself. “I know a perfect way to destroy your blatant luck. Avalon, use your special ability to paralyze her deck!” Once again, Kaiba showcases a detail that he [willingly] did not explain.

“Hmm, I think I’ve seen enough.” Lucifer observed. “I say we should partake in this game.” He stated with intentions to join the game. “Seeing an actual Creator God appeared… oh, I don’t want to miss an opportunity to poke some fun at them.”
Lucifer turned to the others. “I say we allowed ourselves to become cards for Coella. It seems that she’s struggling out there since Kaiba is changing the rules as he seems fit. Besides, who knows what weird things that Kaiba created with this… strange game? My magic might not even work.”
“Wouldn’t it be easier to, you know, save them?” Daiman asked.
“But that’s not fun.’ Lucifer smirks. “Zenta, don’t you want to take another shot at Vegetto for insulting your student? Berserk, this is your chance to show off your newfound powers. I’m curious to see how your body adjusts to the changes in real time. Don’t want to test your limits on Avalon? Spina…?”
“What…?” Daiman was dumbfounded. “Even if we could join… I hardly doubt we can just waltz right in???”
“Oh, sweet child. I used to have a disciple that forces games on Lilith and I, and there’s one thing I learned. There’s always a surprise fighter in these kind of games.”
