The Dark Sign of the Serpent
This fanfiction starts in episode 36 of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds. There will be a sixth Dark Signer with another Earthbound Immortal.
Hey there, Fanfiction lovers!
I'm VampireLover, and this is my first fanfiction ever!
I REALLY hope you like it. I'm a HUGE fan of the Yu-Gi-Oh! arcs. This story starts during the midsection of Episode 36, Digging Deeper part 1. There'll be a new character I'm adding with a custom-made Earthbound Immortal card. It's called Cuauhcoatl, and I'll be using it with my own character.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds. All ownership goes to Kazuki Takahashi. I do not own any of the Earthbound Immortal cards used in this fanfic, those rights are to their specific creators.
Now without further ado, on with the story.
Marcus POV
I was walking with Misty into the Arcadia Building, helping her look for the Black Rose Witch, Akiza. I cared for Misty a great deal. She treated me like a little brother, and I can tell why. She had her brother taken from her by the Arcadia Movement a while ago, and she then got into an accident where she died. A few days after she was released from the hospital, she found me wandering the streets. I had only recently became a Dark Signer, and she took me in as her own family.
We were in the Arcadia Building looking for Akiza, but also looking for someone that Misty said she had met and knew was going to become one of us. Her name was Carly Carmine, according to Misty.
"Misty, are you sure she's gonna become a Dark Signer? She seems like a klutz to me," I said.
"Marcus, be nice. She's stronger than she looks. I can see it in her eyes." Misty replied to me.
I shut up and began blushing profusely. She always did that to me. She didn't like it when I judged people just by looking at them. I found it confusing, however, because she always read people's fortunes by reading their faces. But she always was against first judgements. We continued looking around the building and we finally came across Akiza. Misty began to scowl at her across the room.
"What are you doing here? You should leave now before the building collapses!" Akiza relayed, worried.
"That's strange… The Black Rose actually seeming to care about people's safety." Misty sneered.
I couldn't say she didn't deserve it. After all, she did take Misty's brother from her.
"Wait, I know you! You're that model!" Akiza cried, struck with realization on who Misty was.
"Don't let my beauty fool you, for I am a Dark Signer, Black Rose!" Misty stated triumphantly.
Misty let the darkness cover her and transform her, and I decided to do the same.
"So am I, Akiza! You will face one of us in a duel. Right here, right now!"
"Dark Signers?! Well, I can't let you destroy my home, so I have to duel you! Bring it on!" Akiza replied, readying her duel disk.
As I began to raise my duel disk, Misty activated hers.
"Let me handle this, Marcus. I want the honor of destroying her." Misty smiled at me, but then when she turned back to Akiza, she had an evil glare in her eye. I smiled and stepped down so she could get revenge.
"Misty, do you want me to look for our friend?" I asked her sweetly, while giving Akiza an evil smirk. She smirked back at me.
"Good idea, Marcus. Go wait on the roof for our new member," she told me.
I ran up the stairs to the roof and opened the door. I hadn't learned to use my powers to teleport yet, so I had to get around by foot or vehicle. I waited on the roof for Carly to come up.
"Hey, kid! You shouldn't be here! Come with me, now!" A voice behind me said. I turned around and saw on of the Arcadia Movement's weaker psychics walking up to me.
"Hah! You think you can order me around? I'll show you. Let's have a duel!" I laughed at him.
"You wanna duel me, kid? Heh, your funeral." He smirked, seeming to think he'd win easily.
We both inserted our decks into our duel disks, and both shouted, "Let's duel!"
DUEL ENGAGED
Marcus: 4000
Arcadia Grunt: 4000
"I'll start! Draw!" I said to my opponent. "I'll start by activating the Venom Swamp Field Spell." I slammed the card into my field slot. "I then activate Field Barrier! This way, you won't be able to destroy my field spell." A large green bubble appeared around us for a quick second before disappearing from sight. "Now I summon Venom Snake to the field in attack mode!"
Venom Snake – Level: 3 Reptile/Effect ATK: 1200 DEF: 600
"Then I set one card face-down and end my turn." I finally placed down one card, leaving me with a 2-card hand. I smirked while I waited for the grunt to begin his turn. I couldn't wait to finally summon my Earthbound Immortal.
"My turn, kid. I draw!" He drew one card, and added it to his hand. "I summon Genetic Woman to the field in attack mode!"
Genetic Woman – Level: 4 Psychic/Effect ATK: 1700 DEF: 1200
"Now, Genetic Woman! Attack his puny snake!" I scowled when he called my monster puny. But still, he fell right into my trap.
"I activate my trap, Coiled Strike! Now, since you attacked a Reptile-Type monster on my field,the monster being attacked gains 800 attack points until the end of your next turn! So now my Venom Snake has 2000 ATK! Not so puny now, huh?" I shouted. My Venom Snake grew larger than his Genetic Woman and coiled up to strike. When his Genetic Woman reached my snake, she punched it, but it did nothing. Then Venom Snake bit her and she exploded into tiny particles.
Arcadia Grunt: 3700
"Grr… You got lucky! I'll destroy that thing next turn!" the grunt shouted, angered.
"I set one card face-down and end my turn. Your move…" I could tell he was annoyed that he lost his monster, and I could also tell that his face-down was obviously a trap card.
"I'd like to see you try to destroy him when he won't be on the field on your next turn." I replied, laughing. I could tell it was time to go on the offensive and summon my Immortal.
"I draw! Now I activate Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your face-down." A whirling typhoon landed on and destroyed his face-down card, which turned out to be Magic Cylinder. I smirked widely and said my next move. "I activate Serpent Hunt from my hand! Now, I can summon one Venom monster from my hand or Deck, as long as it has the same name as a Venom monster on my field. So I summon another Venom Snake from my deck!" A second Venom Snake appeared on my field.
"Sadly, it can't attack this turn. But it has other uses anyway. Now, Venom Snake, attack him directly!"
Arcadia Grunt: 1700
"Now I sacrifice my two Venom Snakes, to summon a serpent beyond all others! I summon Earthbound Immortal Cuaucoatl!" I yelled to the heavens. My two monsters turned into balls of multi-colored light, combined, and flew away. Then, a large, beating stone heart appeared behind me. The grunt looked at it in confusion
"What's that supposed to be? A giant boulder?" He questioned. This made me angry.
"How dare you insult Cuaucoatl! He's just collecting souls so he can form! Then he'll devour you whole! Just you wait, you pathetic psychic!" I shouted at him. Never insult a god, or it'll destroy you. Then it happened. Thousands of purple lights began flowing into the stone heart. I began to laugh maniacally at the sight of thousands of souls being absorbed by my master. The heart then began glowing and a titanic black serpent with blood red line patterns appeared behind me, it's body wrapped around the building. The grunt trembled in fear.
Earthbound Immortal Cuaucoatl – Level: 10 Reptile/Effect ATK: 2700 DEF: 2600
I smiled and began my next move.
"I now equip Cuauhcoatl with the Venom Immunity equip spell, so he doesn't gain Venom counters due to the effects of Venom Swamp or any Venom monsters. Then I set one card face-down and end my turn."
This duel was sealed for me. With Cuaucoatl on my field, there was nothing the grunt could do to stop his death. Even if he were to summon a monster, Cuauhcoatl could bypass it and end the duel with one attack.
"T-th-that thing's huge! How can a duel monster hologram be that big?!" The grunt cried in a panic.
"Hahahahahaha! Cuauhcoatl isn't a hologram! He's a real monster! And soon he'll devour you!" I laughed with joy at my opponent's fear. This was getting fun.
"I summon Silent Psychic Wizard in defense mode, then set one card face-down and end my turn."
Silent Psychic Wizard – Level: 4 Psychic/Effect ATK: 1900 DEF: 0
"Hahahahaha! This duel is over! I forgot to mention one thing. Cuauhcoatl can bypass your monsters for a direct attack! Now, Cuauhcoatl, attack him directly and swallow him whole!" I shouted. Cuauhcoatl went in for a direct attack a d the grunt reacted like I knew he would.
"I activate my trap card, Mirror Force! Say goodbye to your overgrown snake!" he shouted triumphantly, unaware or what was going to happen next.
"Sorry, but my Earthbound Immortal can't be touched by spell or trap cards. Continue your attack, Cuauhcoatl!" I replied, causing him to whimper.
Arcadia Grunt: 0
Cuauhcoatl accepted it's sacrifice and threw the grunt into the air with it's mouth, before catching him in mid-air and swallowing him whole, the grunt screaming the whole time. I laughed in manic glee. All three of the Immortals currently out screeched, Ccarayhua, Aslla Piscu, and Cuauhcoatl. They then began to sink back into the earth when the tower started to shake. Suddenly, Misty appeared right next to me.
"Well done, Marcus. I saw you summon Cuauhcoatl from my duel. Carly should be up here soon," she applauded me, causing me to blush.
"Misty… Please stop doing that! It's embarrassing!" I whined. I knew she thought of me as a younger brother, and I thought of her as an older sister, but she didn't have to treat me like I was dueling for the first time.
"What… what just happened? How did I get way up here?" We heard a voice say. It was Carly Carmine. She looked really confused. "Oh no! Did I really just duel the head of the Arcadia Movement?" she asked herself. "Huh? What's with this duel disk? What's this mark on my arm?! What's going on?! Why am I freaking out like this?!" Carly now looked scared and we could hear her crying.
"Carly, don't be afraid of your destiny…" Misty said out loud, catching her attention. Misty and I stepped through a pillar of smoke that had erupted between us and Carly.
"Is that you, Misty?" Carly asked. We began to walk up to her.
"You were chosen, Carly, just as we were chosen." Misty spoke to her.
"Chosen for what?" she questioned, still confused.
"Greatness," Misty elaborated. "You were chosen by the Immortals. When the life you once knew was taken away, you had unfinished business. Something you had to say or do." I cut in shortly afterwards.
"The Immortals gave you their power so you could, well… stick around. Same kind of thing happened to us. We're still in this world, but we're not a part of it anymore. Not as we once were, anyway. These marks are proof." We both lifted up our arms and showed her our marks.
"No… that's a lie!" she cried, tears spilling from her eyes. Misty knelt down to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, and I did the same.
"I understand," Misty began. "It's a lot to take in, I know. Don't worry. You will understand soon. But before you do, you have to figure out; what is your unfinished business, and how can it benefit the Dark Signers?"
A transport helicopter hovered over us now. I knew who was in it, and so I called to Misty.
"Misty... Devak's here. We need to leave."
"Okay, Marcus. Let's go, Carly." Misty held Carly up and brought her to the helicopter.
"So, this is the last Dark Signer?" Devak mused. "She looks rather fragile."
"Shut up Devak! She only just became a Dark Signer, so cut her some slack!" I glared at him. We flew off and returned to the Sattelite's B.A.D Zone.
So…. How was it? Did you like the duel? I'd love it if you left a review. I'm gonna wait until I get a hundred before I post the next chapter. Yes ladies and gentlemen, you heard right.
