27 Tagging Up 1

"Well now, isn't this a surprise," Kaibaman snorted, crossing his arms over his chest and staring imperiously up at the large serpentine dragon floating above him, "It's been a while since I've saw you. What brings one of you well dwellers here?"

"Former well dweller." Serpent Night Dragon correctly with a snort of derision.

"Oh, you finally decided to get off your scaly rear and do something then?" Kaibaman chortled, before pausing and eyeing the dragon thoughtfully, "No, that's not it. Now that I give you a look over, I can sense it. A connection, a strong one too, to a duellist? Someone actually picked a third rate monster like you up?"

"Still better than trash like you who can only borrow the strength of a true powerful beast," Serpent Night Dragon, retorted, eyes narrowing "But if you must know, I indeed have found a duellist worthy of my respect, one so strong in fact that even the real Seto Kaiba would have trouble defeating him." the serpentine dragon boasted.

He was very familiar with Seto Kaiba. After all, once upon a time, he had done battle with his legendary dragons and even fought in his Battle City tournament with his once upon a time wielder, Rex Raptor. Truly only a short span of time had passed since those days compared to the total time he'd lived, but it felt so much longer. The days of being carried by that useless twit, then the fop fake psychic and being sold off to a rich little snot only to be thrown in the well of rejection after the fool failed utterly to wield his strength.

What Yarden lacked in resources in comparison and powerful rare cards, he made up for with guile, cunning, knowledge and brutal efficiency, and he did not lack in skill.

Serpent Night Dragon had never imagined he would ever end up in the hands of such a skilled duellist. Never mind become the ace of his deck. These past few weeks, had been glorious. Showing his might and strength to the world, it was a feeling he had long missed with the days of old.

Truly only his master was worthy of his services.

"Hoh? Quite the claim," Kaibaman hummed, "Congratulations are in order I suppose. Perhaps I should pay him a visit and see how he handles the might of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon?"

"Yarden will easily defeat them." Serpent Night Dragon retorted without a seconds hesitation. Even the mighty Cyber End Dragon and its deck of support wielded by the previous greatest duellist of Duel Academy could stand up to his master!

Their evolutions on the other hand, may be a bit of a problem. But Yarden was still young, so very young. He had just took his first steps towards greatness a few weeks ago. One day he was sure, his master Yarden would even be able to overcome them!

"Interesting," Kaibaman chuckled, "Something to keep in mind I suppose. But, beyond that, you have not answered my question, what brings you here dragon of the night?"

"I am searching for Dark Magician Girl," the dragon replied, "I have searched the island high and low for her and found no sight. If she is here currently, this is the only place she can be." This place, was a small spirit realm that existed between the human realm and the worlds of the monster spirits, a place where monsters who lived in the human world could come to relax.

It had been ten days now since his master had been promoted to the blue dormitory and recognised for the elite that he was. And in total it had been sixteen days that he'd been tasked with finding the Dark Magician Girl spirit for his master. How it grated him to be taking so long to complete the first and utterly simple task his master had bestowed upon him. Simply shameful.

He had taken so long, his master had already acclimated to the bonding process of making Lessar Dragon into his Ba. And a few days ago, five to be exact, began mass bonding with the weakest of the spirits: Spirit Of The Breeze, Fairy Dragon, Chaos Necromancer, Soul Tiger, Larvae Moth, Griggle, Marron, Catnipped Kitty, Unhappy Maiden, Skull Servant, Marmot, Goblin Calligrapher, Serpent Marauder, Blade Rabbit, Steel Scorpion, and Dreamsprite. Quite the list, and it would take him a while to acclimate once more to the bonding, but each day it progressed, he became faster, stronger, and more powerful than before.

The day would soon come when it would be his turn to become a Ba of his master. A mere month or two away. He was progressing even quicker than he had predicted.

Kabaman huffed, "She's here, yes," he nodded, "She has been visiting the younger, weaker spirits and keeping them company. What do you want her for?"

As much of an annoyance he found this puffed up peacock of a spirit to be, Serpent Night Dragon could at least respect the role he'd taken up, protecting the younger, weaker spirits of this world of in between.

"My master wishes to speak with her, to have the chance to recruit her." Serpent Night Dragon responded truthfully. How he knew of Dark Magician Girl being a quite frequent visitor to the island, the dragon did not know, nor did he truly care. His master knew many odd things that he really shouldn't, but, it was not his place to ask such questions, nor would they change his opinion regardless. He of course had a good idea why his master wanted to recruit her. There were two reasons, the first being that his master sought power, something worried him, and he wanted power to be able to deal with it, thus sought it out.

And secondly, he was a lustful human. His desire to take the three human females he spent so much time around made that apparent. Dark Magician Girl was a duel spirit with the appearance of a great human beauty. Most likely his master wanted to rut with Dark Magician Girl just as he did with the human females.

He did not understand the appeal, but Serpent Night Dragon did not care about that either way. If his master wanted to meet Dark Magician Girl and try to recruit her, then that was what he would make sure came to pass.

"Something seems a bit off here," Kaibaman mused, before shrugging a moment later, "Well, she's a big girl, she can take care of herself. Follow me then, I'll lead you to her, though convincing her to meet with this apparent amazing master of yours will be up to you, I have no care either way."

"I thank you." Serpent Night Dragon dipped his long graceful neck and nodded his head, following behind the duel spirit version of Seto Kaiba as he led the serpentine dragon to his destination.
