Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's. I do however, own a few of the cards. Those will be marked with a (*).
A/N: For those of you who know of my old stories, I want to let you know that I won't be finishing any of them, so don't hold your breath. I will be finishing this one, no matter what. So, even if the chapter updates are a bit slow, don't worry, they'll get there. Also, this fanfic starts on episode 44, when Satellite is covered by the black fog. In this, there are four survivors. These people meet up with both the Signers, and the Dark Signers. As they try to learn of what is going on, they'll also learn why they were the only ones who survived. (Yes, I know that crow survived, but he doesn't count.) I want you to know that the survivors are OC, so they are mine.
Chapter 1: The Lone Duelist...
Matsu awoke in a dark room, the area completely silent. He shook his head as he got up, wondering what had happened here. He walked out of the room, looking for an exit. Fortunately, it didn't take him too long to find one. He was surprised to see that there was no one outside. "Strange..." he said. It was then that he noticed something. There was a black fog over the area. He waved his hand around, but could not feel anything at all. It was almost as if there was no wind. Wanting to learn more about what had happened, he walked around, hoping to find someone with answers.
"What happened here...?" he wondered. As he looked upon the empty buildings, the strange black fog, and the once crowded paths, things finally came back to him. "That's right!" he said, stopping in his tracks. He finally remembered. "The fog...Everyone saw that explosion and told us to run. Is that why I can't seem to find anyone here?" he asked himself. "Still, why am I here? Last I remember, the fog swallowed me up."
He looked down a dark alleyway near him. He remembered that this was a favored hangout often used by one of his friends. He thought that there would probably be someone there, but all he found was a duel disk. It was black, with a gold stripe crossing a blue one, making an X. He was shocked to see it there. "That's his! That's...Trevor's duel disk!" His friend, who was not only famous for his dueling skills, was also famous for carrying his duel disk everywhere he went, trying to defeat anyone he found in a duel. "He'd never leave it all alone like this. Something must have happened to him too." He picked it up. It seemed to be in good condition, but the cards were missing. He turned around, finding a person in a cloak with a glowing purple birthmark on his right arm.
"Who are you?!" The man did not move. "I'm warning you! You'd better start talking now! What happened to everyone here? "He was serious. He wanted to know what was going on, and he had a feeling that this man could answer those questions. The man looked down at the duel disk that Matsu was holding.
"I see you managed to survive...That's not good. You cannot be allowed to live. Now, either give up your soul or try to win your life in a Duel of Darkness." Matsu couldn't believe this. This man, who he had never even seen before, was threatening him! "If I duel you, will you give me some answers?" The man laughed, his raspy voice could be heard all over. "You'll have to win, but don't count on it!"
Matsu put on the duel disk. He wondered how he would fight. If the cards in the duel disk had gone missing, then there's a chance that his were gone too. Yet, he reached into his pocket, taking out his deck. 'Why do I still have my cards? Is it possible that Trevor just took his cards and ran?!' he thought. Normally, his friend would not do that, but then again, things were getting upside down lately. First with those people that followed around some strange men…and now this. He shuffled his cards and put them in the duel disk. "Alright then. I will get an answer out of you!"
The man smirked and raised his left arm, causing a dark purple flame to appear and surround them. "What is this?!" he asked him. "This is a Duel of Darkness. In this duel, you take actual damage from attacks. And when you lose, your soul will be offered as a tribute for the gods!" Matsu was shocked. A duel that could actually kill him. He wasn't sure whether or not to believe this man, but since he was surrounded by those flames, he couldn't get out of it. "Well then, I guess I'll just have to win!"
They drew their cards, and the duel officially started. His opponent went first. "I'll active Call of the Mummy. With this card, if I have no monsters on my side of the field, I can special summon one Zombie type monster from my hand. I'll use it to special summon my Giant Axe Mummy (1700/2000) in attack mode! Next, I'll summon my Master Kyonshee (1750/1000) in attack mode. Now, I'll place two cards face-down and end my turn."
'What?!' thought Matsu. 'He's already got two strong monsters out on the field! Damn it...' He drew his card, observing the field and the cards in his hand. There was little he could do. He looked at his hand. He had a Dragon Dwelling in the Cave, a Luster Dragon, a Luster Dragon #2, a Dragon's Mirror, a Dark Door, and a Just Desserts. He could make sure that he had a good defense, but there was the little matter of his opponent's face down cards. "I'll one monster face-down in defense mode! Next I'll place one card face-down and activate my spell card, Dark Door! While this card is face up on the field, both of us can attack only once per turn." He was safe for now, he thought. He had Just Desserts, so he could inflict extra damage to his opponents if he summoned another monster, and his dark door prevented any additional damage from being done to him. Also, his Dragon Dwelling in the Cave had a high defense. (1300/2000)
His opponent drew his card. "My move. Now, I'll activate my trap card, Non-Aggression Area. By discarding one card, I can activate this card's effect. Now, on your next turn, you can't summon, set or special summon. Next I'll summon Reborn Zombie (1000/1600) in attack mode. Next I'll activate my Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw two cards!" He drew them, an evil smile on his face as he looked at them. "I'll now equip my Reborn Zombie with Ballista of Rampart Smashing. When a monster attacks is equipped with this card, it gains 1500 attack points when it attacks a face-down defense position monster. And from my hand, I'll equip my Zombie with Fairy Meteor Crush! Attack his face-down!"
The monster was destroyed, and that was all that it took to convince Matsu of his opponent's words. Once the monster was destroyed, the attack continued and hit him too. He was thrown back by the impact and hit wall of flames. One thing that resulted from this, he found out that the flames don't burn you. Another thing that resulted from this, he found out that there really was no escape. He struggled to get up, the damage he took was worse than what he thought. He was glad though. His life points only decreased by 500 points, so he had a total of 3500. "I'll end my turn, and your life soon enough." said the mysterious man. Matsu drew his card. It was the trap card, A Hero Emerges. However, the only problem he had was his opponent's trap. He couldn't do anything on this turn. "I guess I'll just skip this turn."
Now it was his opponent's turn. Fortunately, Matsu had no defensive monster on his side of the field, so he didn't have to worry about any attacks that would be over 2000 attack points. "I draw." said his opponent. Matsu wondered what he was going to do. "I'll summon D.D Guide in defense mode." Something strange happened. The monster appeared on Matsu's side of the field. "I can see that you are confused. I'll explain. You see, when my D.D Guide is normal summoned, it gets switched to your side of the field. Now, I'll end my turn. And D.D Guide's monster effect activates. Once a player reaches their end phase, they must remove one card from play from their graveyard. So, I'll remove from my graveyard my Non-Aggression Area." Matsu's turn was up. He drew his card. It was Spirit Ryu. It was perfect. If his plan worked, then the duel would be over by his next turn. "I summon Spirit Ryu. Now, I'll activate my monster's effect. For every dragon type monster that I discard from my hand, I get to raise his attack points by 1000. And I'll discard my Luster Dragon. Thus, his attack points will be increased by 1000 points! Now! Attack his Reborn Zombie!" The monster was attacked, and once again, it stayed on the field. However, it seemed as if Matsu's plan would work. His opponent had just lost 1000 life points, making it 3000. "I'll place one card face-down and end my turn." Now it was the end of his turn, and his opponent chose to remove his Dragon Dwelling in the Cave.
"Good move. I expected nothing less from a servant. However, I shall win this duel!" He drew his card. 'A servant? What's he talking about?' he thought. He had no idea what the guy meant, but had to ask. "Hey! What do you mean, a 'servant'?!" But he had received no answer from his opponent. Instead, his opponent just kept going with his turn. "I'll activate my trap card!" yelled Matsu. The hologram of his face-down card appeared, revealing itself to be Just Desserts. "For every monster on your side of the field, you lose 500 life points, and since you have three, that's a total of 1500 points!" The monster in the card attacked, and a groan was heard from the man when the attack hit. Still, the man stayed up, and merely continued with his remaining 1500 points. "I'll sacrifice my Giant Axe Mummy to summon my Dark Dust Spirit (2200/1800) in attack mode! To make it even better, when this monster is summoned, it can destroy all face-up monsters on the field. Now, attack him directly and end this duel!" Matsu smiled. It looked like his plan was going great. "I'll activate my trap card, A Hero Emerges! When I am attacked, my opponent picks one card from my hand and if it is a monster, then I can special summon it to the field. However, I only have one card in my hand, and it just happens to be my Luster Dragon #2!" (2400/1400) The monsters battled, with Matsu's dragon overpowering Dark Dust Spirit and destroying it. "Due to that, you have lost 200 life points!" Now his life points had reached 1300 points. "I'll end my turn then..."
Matsu was glad that things had been working so far. "My turn!" he said, looking at the card that he had just drawn. This time, it was his Drill Dragon*. Still, he had no use for it right now, and playing one of his trump cards was a bad idea to do when you have a duel locked up. He kept it in his hand. "Luster Dragon! Attack him directly!" The smoke from the explosion was pushing him back, but he still managed to stay up. His enemy was defeated. He heard a scream, and looked up to find the man turning into dust, and a light that escaped from that dust flew up into the sky. "What was that? He just...Disappeared!"
Unsure of what to do, he walked out of the alley. He thought about what had just happened. Then it hit him. That guy found him way too easily. Could it have been a trap? He guessed it was. He wondered something. If he survived, that means that there should be someone else who also survived. And if that was true, then there would be more people that survived. However, that would also mean that there were more people like the man he had just dueled. But, who's to say that there weren't more people like that man wandering around already? This would definitely be a problem. He decided on what to do. If he was going to search for survivors, then he had to do it quickly…before they were attacked by those strange people.
He started to walk, only to trip and fall onto the ground. He tried to get up, but as he did, he found that he was bleeding. His arms were hurt the most from that duel, but his legs were badly scratched, and his back hurt from when he was thrown against that flaming wall. "That was a strange duel..." he said to himself. "Still, I need to move... before one of those weird guys finds me and tries to duel me too." He tried to get up, struggling to do so, but he managed to do so.
He thought about where he was. After looking around for a while he finally remembered where. He was close to the bridge. It was perfect. The only way for him to try and find survivors is to move quickly. Not only that, but in order for him to do so, he had to reach his hideout. Fortunately for him, his hideout was not too far. At the rate he was moving, he would probably reach it in a couple of hours. He walked along, headed to his hideout, with a smile on his face. Not only had he fought in that duel and lived, but he was also close to his D-Runner.
Still, some things bothered him. Why was that man chasing after him in the first place? That man knew where he would be, and that he survived. It was not merely some coincidence. The whole thing seemed to be planned. It's like they knew that this would happen. Even worse, they wanted his soul too, and he had no idea why all of this was going on. He stopped at building. It was dark, and seemed to be connected to another. He wondered if he should go in. Not only would it be a shortcut, but it would also keep him hidden from sight. And he needed to hide right now. Still, if those guys knew about him, and were trying to track him down, they would probably be close. If they saw him enter through the building, he would be dead, for he couldn't survive another duel the way he was now.
He decided to enter, quickly walking up the stairs and reaching the roof. From there, he could see a couple of people walking down the road, but they were too far away for him to notice anything about the way they looked. He could, however, determine that they were the same type of people as the man that he had dueled. He knew this because they were together, which was strange, since he had yet to find any survivors. Even if that didn't count, the fact that they were walking slowly, as if nothing was wrong assured him that they were not the people he wanted to find. If anyone survived, then they wouldn't be walking around as if everything was as it always was.
He decided to go down the fire escape on the back of the building, making it easier for him to move without being seen. He moved along the small alleys between the buildings, hiding wherever he could whenever he heard one of those men passing by. Eventually, he finally did make it back to his hideout. By that time, it had already gotten dark.
He walked to a small locker that was in his room. He had quite a few medical supplies there. Within the hour, he treated all of his wounds. They were no longer bleeding, numb, scratched, or even hurting. It was good. Still, he knew that he couldn't strain himself. He wanted to make sure that none of those people found him, at least not until he was better. This was why he did everything as quietly as he could. Occasionally, he discreetly checked the area, to make sure that there was no one there. After a while, he determined he was safe, and went to sleep.
The next morning, he woke up. He checked the time. It was 11:15 am. He moved his arms around a bit. They seemed to be better. Truth was, the injuries were not too bad, but they would still take a while to heal. It was easier to see outside now that the sun was out. He went back to the other room. In it was the very thing that he needed. His D-Runner. He put the duel disk onto the Runner. He began to examine it, checking to see if it was okay and ready to use. It was.
He sat on the Runner. He put his helmet on and waited for the door to finish opening. 'I don't know what is going on here, or why they're after me, but I will find out. After all, that guy said I was a servant. Still, what exactly did he mean?' he thought. The engine revved, and he dashed through the opening.
He rode around for an hour. He still hadn't found any survivors. "Did anyone even survive?" It was then that he heard a sound. It was the sound of blades whirring. He looked up, to see a helicopter flying around. "Hm...If there's a helicopter, then those people must not be from here. That means, that they're here to help!" He started his runner and tried to follow them. After all, they were able to get there, so they must have been unaffected by the fog. Not only that, but if there were any survivors at all, then they would have noticed it tried to follow it too.
From what he could tell, they were headed towards the forest. Could it be possible that the fog didn't reach it? This thought was put on hold as he was forced to stop. There was another cloaked man with a duel disk in his hand blocking his way. He grabbed his duel disk and put it on, getting off the Runner. "So...you want to fight me too?" he asked him. The man had a strange voice, and his face was hardly visible over the hood. "That's right. You shall not get away this time. Now, are you going to accept my Duel of Darkness?" Matsu had absolutely no choice. "Alright then, bring it on!"
The flames surrounded them once more as the duel started. They drew their cards, but this time, Matsu was able to start. He was lucky. He drew some of the cards that he needed. He looked at his hand, hoping that he could think up the fastest way to win this duel. He was glad, for he was holding a Lord of D., a Flute of Summoning Dragon, two Drill Dragons*, a Dragon's Mirror, and an Impenetrable Formation. "I'll begin. I'll summon Lord of D. (1200/1100) in defense mode. Now, I'll activate the spell card, Flute of Summoning Dragon! If I use this card while my Lord of D. is on the field, I can special summon two dragons from my hand! I'll summon my two Drill Dragons (1800/200) in defense mode! Next, I'll activate my Impenetrable Formation Spell card! I can only activate this card when I have two or more monsters in defense mode on my side of the field. I can choose one monster and increase it's defense points by 700 points! And I'll choose...My Lord of D.! (1200/1800) Since it's the first turn, I can't attack, so I'll just end my turn."
His opponent drew his card. He was a quiet fellow. Hardly spoke unless he needed to. "Since you have more than two monsters on your side of the field, and I have none, I can special summon my Fiend Megacyber (2200/1200) in attack mode! Next, I'll summon my Snipe Hunter (1500/600) in attack mode. Now, I'll activate its monster effect. I have to discard one card so that I can pick one card on the field, and then I roll a dice. If the dice lands on a number between 2-5, then the card is destroyed. Go dice roll!" A holographic dice appeared. It spun around for a few seconds, and then it landed on the number 5. "Perfect. Now, your Lord of D. shall be destroyed!" A light shined brightly as Matsu's monster was destroyed. "Damn...Now it's going to get troublesome..." he mumbled under his breath. "Now, my monsters shall attack and leave you defenseless!" Matsu was glad that he thought ahead. Had he not put them in defense mode, that would probably have done a lot of damage to him. "Next, I'll place two cards face-down and end my turn."
It was Matsu's turn now. He drew a card, the one he really needed at the moment. "I'll activate Pot of Greed!" He drew two more cards now, due to its effect, and was lucky enough to draw some cards that were very needed at the moment. It was his Fake trap, and his Draining Shield. "I'll place two cards face-down and end my turn!"
"Good. I see that you have already begun to accept your defeat. Maybe I will show you mercy and kill you quickly." Matsu tried to ignore this. Although it angered him, he had to pay close attention to the duel. "I'll activate my Snipe Hunter's effect! I'll discard the card that I just drew, and I'll pick the card second card that is face-down on your field! Go, Dice Roll!" Matsu was in trouble. The card that he had chosen was his Draining Shield. Sure, he had his Fake Trap as a back-up, but he didn't want to waste it just yet. The dice appeared and spun around, eventually landing on the number 6. Matsu was safe for now. "Damn...Oh well, I guess that I'll just settle for a direct attack! Go, Fiend Megacyber!" Matsu smiled. "I activate my trap card! Draining Shield! now my life points are increased by your monster's attack points, and that's a total increase of 2200 points!" (6200) "That's too bad. Because now, I'll just attack with my Snipe Hunter!" Matsu had forgotten that. There was still another monster on his opponent's side of the field. The monster attacked him, making him lose 1500 life points. (4700) Not only that, but he once again felt the pain that resulted from dueling these people. They were not normal, that's for sure. "I'll end my turn."
Matsu had few choices right now. He drew his card, hoping for the best. What he got was the spell card, Lifesaver*. 'Hm...This is good, but I can't use it yet. What I really need is him...Come on Neo, hurry and come to my hand!' he thought. He was hoping for the best. He just needed that one monster, and a way to summon him, and he would be okay. "I'll place one card face-down, and end my turn!"
"My turn. I'll sacrifice both of my monsters to summon, Flame Ogre (2400/1400) in attack mode. When this card is summoned, I get to draw one card. Next, I'll activate one of my face-down cards! Banner of Courage! This increases the attack points of all monsters on my field by 200 points during the battle phase. Now, attack him directly!" Matsu found that there was nowhere to run, He was stuck there, and was forced to take the hit head on. It hurt him a lot, but he was still able to continue dueling. However, his life points took a big hit. (2100) "Looks like you're about to die. That is good, because it means that I can kill you on my next turn. As for now, I'll end this one."
Matsu drew a card. This time it was the spell card, Reckless Draw!* 'That's perfect!' he thought. This was the card he needed. With this, he could summon Neo and finish the duel quickly. "My turn. I'll activate the spell card, Reckless Draw! At the cost of 500 life points per card, I am allowed to draw more than once." This was it. All he needed was to draw the cards he needed and he could easily win this duel. So he drew four cards, causing him to lose 2000 life points. (100) A light shined and hit him, causing him to get seriously hurt. However, he was able to stay up this time. Not only that, but he drew the cards he needed. He now held: Neo the Dragon Summoner*, Premature Burial, Drill Dragon*, and Waboku. Yet, he was very weak, and had to finish this duel before he could no longer continue..."Ha! I knew you'd become suicidal! Your wasting your own life away!" said his opponent, laughing at what seemed to be the dumbest thing that Matsu could do.
"I activate the spell card, Lifesaver*! If I have 500 life points or less, I can activate this card. Thanks to this, my life points are increased to 6000! (6000) However, they'll be halved on my next turn. Now, I'll activate the spell card, Premature Burial. By paying 800 life points, (5200) I can special summon one monster from my graveyard, and I'll choose, my Drill Dragon*! (1800/200) Now, I'll sacrifice him to summon my Neo the Dragon Summoner*! (2400/0) Now I'll activate his special ability! By sending one card form my hand to the grave, I can special summon one dragon type monster from my deck! So, I'll discard the Drill dragon that was in my hand, and I can special summon Tyrant Dragon (2900/2500) Now! Attack his Flame Ogre!" The monsters battled once more, with his Tyrant Dragon destroying his Flame Ogre. His opponent lost 500 life points. (3500) His opponent decided to activate his trap card. "I'll activate the trap card, Shadow Spell! With this, your dragon loses 700 attack points, and cannot attack or change it's battle position." His opponent felt happy as he saw those chains wrap around the dragon. However, this changed the moment that he saw the chains melting away. "That's my dragon's special ability. When it's targeted by a trap card, the trap card's effect is negated and the card is destroyed!"
"I'll end my turn." said Matsu. He was confident that he would win now. All he had to do, was make sure that he could attack directly on the next turn and he would win. However, his luck was about to change.
His opponent drew his card, an evil smile on his face. 'What could he be planning? There's no way that he can defeat my dragon.' thought Matsu. Little did he know, his dragon could be destroyed. However, that will be the least of his worries..."My move. I'll activate my trap card, Call of the Haunted! Thanks to this, I can special summon one monster from my Graveyard, and I'll choose my Fiend Megacyber! (2200/1200) Now, I'll sacrifice him and send all of the cards in my graveyard to summon my Infernal Incinerator! (2800/1800) I'm not done yet. You see, my monster's special effect activates. It's attack points are increased by 200 points for every monster on your side of the field!" Matsu knew what that meant. With two monsters on his side of the field, his opponent's monster would have a total of 3200 attack points. That was way more than what his dragon had. Unfortunately, he had no cards on the field to stop the attack. "Now, attack his Tyrant Dragon!" Matsu watched, horrified, as his monster was destroyed before his very eyes and the attack came towards him. Once again, he was pushed back, but this time, he was determined to win. He managed to get up. He was using up all of the strength he had to try and keep going. What was worse, not only did he lose 300 life points (4900), but he also had to try and get up again when Lifesaver's* effect would activate itself.
"You were a very good opponent. However, this duel will be over soon. Now, I'll end my turn...so that your self-destruction can continue!"
Then came the flash of light. It hit Matsu hard, and cut his life points in half. (2450) He was on the ground now. The hit he had just taken was horrible. He could barely move. Still, he had to get up. If he didn't, he really would die in this duel. The way he saw it, it was better to have a few broken bones, and still be alive. Slowly, he got up, barely being able to move. His whole body hurt, and he still had to finish the duel. 'I must win...Or else, I'll...' He couldn't think about that right now. If he did, he would lose all hope. He drew his card, believing as hard as he could that this card would help him. It was the card, Nightmare Steelcage. It worked! With this card, he could survive a few more turns. "My turn! I'll activate the spell card, Nightmare Steelcage! Thanks to this, you are not allowed to attack for the next two turns! Now, I'll end my turn."
His opponent began his turn. "You must be desperate. Oh well, I'll place one card face-down and end my my turn." Matsu now had to start relying on hope. He had no cards in his hand, and the next card that he drew had to be the one that would start helping win. So, he drew, and it was also what he needed. It was the trap card, Return From Different Dimension. "I'll place one card face down, and end my turn."
"I'll draw!" said the man. "I can't wait to see the look on your face when you lose. You should have given up when you had the chance! I'll place another card face-down, and I'll end my turn."
'Why is he doing that?' thought Matsu. 'Why hasn't he summoned anymore monsters on his side of the field? Unless...he can't!' He finally remembered when he first saw that card, years ago. His opponent lost to him because he summoned another monster, which decreased it's attack points by 500 points per monster. 'So...If I destroy it, then he's going to be defenseless!' He started his turn, drawing another card. This time it was another Pot of Greed. "I'll start by activating my Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw 2 cards." The cards that he drew were the perfect ones. This time, it was the trap cards D. Tribe, and Burst Breath. "I'll place two cards face-down and end my turn."
His opponent was glad. He drew his card. "Good. Your Nightmare Steelcage is finally gone, and you have left your monster in attack mode. Not only that, but your monster is outmatched! Infernal Incinerator! Attack his Neo!" It was then that something strange happened. As the monster began to attack, a burst of light came from Matsu's monster and destroyed Infernal Incinerator. "What happened?!" The man was surprised to see his monster taken down so easily. Especially when the opposing monster had less attack points. It was then that he saw two trap cards behind the monster. "I activate the trap card D. Tribe, so my Neo is now treated as a Dragon-Type monster! Not only that, I also activate the trap card, Burst Breath! By destroying a Dragon-Type monster on my side of the field, I can destroy all monsters on your side of the field that have defensive points lower than my monster's attack points!" Although it worked, Matsu was now left with no monster on his side of the field, and it was still his opponent's turn. "Damn it! In that case, I'll start by activating Gryphon's Feather! For every spell and trap card on my side of the field that I destroy, I gain 500 life points! By destroying 3, I gain 1500 points! (5000)
Yes, Matsu was safe, but his opponent wasn't going to give up that easily. When his opponent destroyed his cards, it was revealed that two of them were Statue of the Wicked, which special summons a Wicked Token (1000/1000). "Now, I'll sacrifice them to summon Gogiga Gagagigo (2950/2800) in attack mode!" This would cause a problem, since Matsu only had (2450) Life Points, no monsters on the field, and his opponent's monster had 2950 attack points. "Now, attack him and finish this duel!" The monster's large fist hit the ground, but the man saw no reduction in Matsu's life points. What he saw, was just another trap card. "Since I activated my Waboku, I took no battle damage!" His opponent had nothing left to do, so he ended his turn.
Now it came. This was Matsu's last turn. If he didn't do anything now, then he wouldn't be able to win. He drew the last card he needed. It was the field spell, Mountain. "Alright. I'll start by activating the field spell, Mountain!" The ground trembled as the mountains appeared for real. They completely destroyed the buildings beside them. "Next, I'll activate Dragon's Mirror! By removing from play the monsters listed on a Dragon-Type fusion monster card, I am able to summon the Dragon-Type fusion monster! So, I'll remove my Lord of D., and Tyrant Dragon, to fusion summon, King Dragun (2400/1100) Thanks to Mountain, his attack and defense points are increased by 200 points! (2600/1300)" The man merely looked at him. He was curious as to what Matsu was planning. "What are you going to do with that? My monster is far too strong to be taken down by that thing!"
"I'll show you!" said Matsu. "I'll activate the trap card, Return From Different Dimension! With this, I can pay half my life points to special summon monsters that have been removed from play. So, I'll choose to summon my Lord of D., and my Tyrant Dragon!" The light hit him once again, but the only thing that kept him from falling to the ground was the thought of finishing this duel. He was now down to 1225 life points. "Mountain will now increase their attack and defense points, by 200!" Now, his Lord of D. had 1400 attack points, and 1300 defense points. Meanwhile, his Tyrant Dragon had 3100 attack points and 2700 defense points. "Now, my Tyrant Dragon will attack your monster, while my Lord of D. and King Dragun attack you directly!" So it went. With no spell and trap cards on his field, he had no way to defend himself from the attacks.
His opponent was now down to 850 life points. 'Thank god I used Gryphon's Feather. Otherwise, I'd have already lost!' thought the man. Panting, he drew his next card. "I summon Flash Assailant (2000/2000) in defense mode! I end my turn." The man had indeed reached the end of his rope. He had no way to protect himself except by summoning a monster in defense mode, and he was sure that it wouldn't last for long. He was trying to survive now. He felt like he would lose his soul and fail the gods.
"My turn." This time, he drew a monster card. Unfortunately, it was a level six. Normally he would have to sacrifice a monster to summon it, but not this time. "I'll activate my King Dragun's special ability. Once per turn, I am allowed to special summon one Dragon-type monster from my hand! So, I'll summon my Gravi-Crush Dragon (2400/1200) in attack mode!" Now, he would win the duel. "Attack!" Due to Mountain's effect, his Gravi-Crush Dragon also 2600 attack points. Compared to his opponent's 850 life points, and one defensive monster, there was no way he could lose.
So, the dragons attacked. First, the monster was destroyed by Gravi-Crush Dragon. Then, his King Dragun attacked him directly, dealing a lot of physical damage. Once the smoke cleared, the man could be seen lying on the floor. "Mark my words servant! You will be defeated!" Matsu ran towards him, trying to get more answers out of him, but he got there too late. By now, the man had disappeared, the strange light flowing from his body and disappearing into the fog. "Wait! What are you talking about?! Why are you calling me a servant?!" He yelled these words as high as he could, yet he received no answer. He was angry, he had risked his life in a Duel of Darkness, he had defeated both of the people that challenged him. Yet, he had nothing to show for it. Nothing, but wounds and bruises. Just what in the world was going on? He knew that those men had something to do with the disappearances, but had no idea how, or even why they were after him.
Still, he had no time to stay there and think. He had to find out if there were any survivors, and if they too, were being chased. He got his D-Runner, trying to hurry and find any survivors. He thought about that helicopter that he had seen. It was headed to the forest. He wanted to go there and check it out, but he felt he had to look around here some more. He wondered who those people were. The ones who were chasing after him, and the one who had just arrived to Satellite. Who were the good guys?
He guessed that he would find out eventually. Yet, it bothered him. He wanted to know, but he could not find any answers. All he had was hints, and clues, but nothing that he could follow.
"Hey guys! Look at this!" said Rua. The others walked over to the window, looking at the area that Rua was pointing at. They were all shocked at what they saw. Mountains appearing out of nowhere and demolishing buildings. "Could it be?" said Jack. "Are there people dueling around here?" Yusei was amazed as well. "I thought that everyone was gone. Does this mean that there are survivors around here?" he said. They looked at the explosions, the smoke, and the monsters that appeared in that area until they were too far away. Was it possible that someone survived? It couldn't be. Yet, they had to believe it. Those monsters, the mountains, it had to be real. There was no way that they all imagined that. 'If there are survivors, and we were indeed watching a duel, then...' thought Jack. 'Who won the duel?'
End of Chapter 1
A/N: Forgive me if you see any mistakes with either the writing, or the dueling. Not only has it been a couple of years since I played Yu-Gi-OH, but it's also been a few years since I've written a fanfic. Anyway, don't forget to R&R. All reasonable comments are welcome. The second chapter is on its way guys, so don't worry. Also, this story won't be that long. It's mainly to introduce the characters for another story that I'm going to write for Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's.
Edit: I realize I misread the fusion monsters needed for King Dragun. It was late, and I was tired. So, you'll see it fixed later.
