"That's not much of a good move you made there, little Ridley." said Heinrich, looking a little disappointed. "Oh well. Masked Beast, attack Goblin Zombie!"
"I activate both of my face down cards, Shrink and Call of The Haunted! Shrink will cut Mask Beast's atk power by half, while Call of The Haunted allows me to bring a monster from my graveyard back to the field; and I choose to bring back my Plague Wolf." Plague Wolf appeared on the field as Mask Beast's points were reduced to 1600. It destroyed Goblin Zombie, causing Ridley's life points to drop to 4300. He drew an extra card. Heinrich gritted his teeth as he ended his turn.
Ridley drew a card and looked at his hand. There wasn't much he could do with what he got til he noticed he had Magical Mallet in his hand. Now he can try to get a better hand. "I play Magical Mallet. Now I can add any number of cards from my hand to my deck, and then I can draw the same number of cards I returned." He added his whole hand to his deck, shuffled it, and then drew the same number of cards he once had. Looking over his new hand, he found that not much of it was helpful but it was a little bit better. But when he looked at the card on the far right in his hand.
His eyes widen in shock and his heart skipped a beat. All the courage he had was instantly gone. "No," he whispered. "Not this card."

Sapphire noticed the look of horror and dismay on Ridley's face. Her own face went pale. Oh no, what now? she wondered. Did he lose?

Heinrich too noticed the look on Ridley's face. "What's the matter, kiddo?" Doug soon burst into laughter.
"Hey, Heinrich, Doug guesses the squirt has just drawn his demon." Doug was in a state of laughter.
"You don't say? Well then, little Ridley, why don't you be so kind to summon that card." Heinrich suggested.
Ridley was hugging himself with his left arm as he could only stare at one particular card in his right hand. "No. Please, God, no." he said, his voice filled with fright.
"I'm back, little boy." a sinister voice just spoke inside Ridley's mind. "Now that I'm in your hand, why don't you summon me?"
"No. No, I don't want to." Ridley's body was shaking.
"You can win if you summon me." said the voice, chuckling evilly. "Go on, summon me."
"No!" Ridley retorted. His body was beginning to shiver.
"Summon me now, or else..." the voice said, sounding more serious.

Was Ridley...talking to his card? What was so bad about it? Sapphire hoped she was just dreaming to whole surreal moment; it just kept getting stranger and stranger.

Doug laughed harder, almost in a sadistic tone. "Look at that, he's trying to fight back his demon. Like Hell he's gonna win. It's only a matter of time."
"Heh, heh, heh," a voice snickered inside Ridley's head. A whistling noise could be heard in his mind, soon followed by the loud buzzing of flies.
"No!" cried Ridley, covering his ears to drown out the noise. "Please, stop! Just leave me alone!" horrifying images began flashing before his eyes. They were memories of his past. The face of a girl playing with him, his parents lying on the floor dead, and blood on his hands. It wasn't his own blood. The images ended, and Ridley saw he was surrounded by millions of maggots moving about on the ground around him. Swarms of flies, mosquitos, and gnats were buzzing around him trying to get in his face. Spiders, scorpions, and centipedes were crawling up his legs. Their touch felt so real...
"AAAAAAHH!" Ridley screamed, falling to his knees. He dropped the cards in his hands and began ferociously scratching at every part of his body like crazy. It itched so much. He couldn't stop screaming!

"Ridley!" Sapphire ran to his side and grabbed his arm, trying to make him stop scratching. "Ridley! What's wrong!"

Unfortunately, Ridley couldn't hear Sapphire well. The whistling and buzzing going on his mind were too much to have him concentrate on his normal senses. "STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP!" "Then summon me! SUMMON ME NOW!" the voice yelled. "ALRIGHT I'LL DO IT!" Ridley picked up the card behind it all and moved his other hand away from Sapphire's grasp. He didn't notice she was there next to him due to his inner torment. "I sacrifice all three of my monsters, to summon the archdevil of gluttony; BEELZEBUB-THE LORD OF THE FLIES!" Zombie Master, Plague Wolf, and Ridley's face down monster disappeared from the field. Demonic energy began swirling around Ridley and Sapphire. A large red pentagram appears above them, opening like a portal. Swarms of winged insects poured out of the portal. Following the pests came out a huge winged insect of an unknown species; that's because it wasn't an insect. It was a demon with the appearance of an insect. The swarms of smaller bugs flew around the giant demon. The beast itself let out a loud roar that sounded like a twisted reversed version of various screams of innocent people dying. pamansazz.deviantart.com/art/Beelzebub-103260448

Sapphire's eyes went wide and her face slack. She could only stare up at the looming monstrosity that emerged above them.
This isn't real, she tried to tell herself, it can't be. But she knew it was. She trembled helpless beside Ridley, wondering if she had gone completely and utterly mad.

Ridley fiercly pointed at Heinrich's monster. "CAST THY CARRION SWARMS UPON THY WRETCHED FOE!" he roared, his voice filled with mix emotions. Beelzebub roared, millions of winged insects spewed from its mouth. The swarms covered both Heinrich and his monster. The Masked Beast was consumed by the swarms, and Heinrich was knocked out cold.
"Heinrich!" Doug rushed to his comrade's side and checked his pulse. He was alive, but could no longer continue the duel in his current state. "You brats win this round. But mark Doug's words, one whose possessed by Archdevil Beelzebub, Doug and Heinrich shall return to take you back to our origin!" Doug placed Heinrich on his back and ran away from Ridley and Sapphire. Beelzebub roared in its triumph before it and all of its swarms were absorbed into the card Ridley had played. Once out of sight, the spell Heinrich cast disappeared and those who were frozen in time began moving again, as if nothing ever happened.
Ridley was breathing heavily, his face stained with hot tears as he held himself in his arms.

Sapphire sank to her knees, quivering like a small child. Tears formed at the corners of her unblinking eyes. She hasn't even aware that she had just wet herself. She was unrecognizable as the brave, tough girl from earlier.
"Ridley?" she asked timidly. "What just happened?"

"Visage... of... evil. One... of... the... seven." Ridley said as if he was in a trance. He repeated the words over and over.

Sapphire sniffled, trying to make sense of what she had just seen, but it defied all reason.
"I...I think I'm gonna go home," she said.

Ridley couldn't move. His moment took a great toll on his body.
