Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: Star King Chronicles
Arc 1: Black Rose Revival Arc
Episode 1: Power of Bonds, The Dragon's Respond!
The place was dark. There was nothing there, nothing but two men facing each other in a duel. This was no ordinary duel for it's outcome will decide the fate of Neo Domino City, no, it will decide the fate of the whole world. Countless souls have already suffered facing this treacherous villain, what more if he'll succeed and fulfill his objective of preventing evolution. The time has come for the deciding battle to decide the fate of the world. Will the world succumb? Or will it survive? The fate of the world rests within Yusei, the signer who bears the Dragon's Head mark.
"Fudo Yusei..." the voice of the villain calmly spoke. He stared at Yusei who was lying on the ground, suffering from the attack of the villain's monster. "It's over. I win." he spoke again, declaring his victory over Yusei.
"N...n...not...yet." Yusei said, still suffering from the pain. "I can still stand up. I'll do...whatever it takes to defeat...you." he tried standing up, smiling as he did. Placido was shocked in awe. He had never met someone who could still stand up after suffering an immense amount of damage from his monsters. He then thought, "Impressive, Fudo Yusei. You never cease to amaze me. Hmph. Let's see how strong you really are."
"Tell me, Fudo Yusei. Why do you fight? Why do you fight when you already know that you're going to lose? Tell me, why?!" Placido questioned Yusei. He clenched his fist, Yusei just smiled in response.
"For my friends." he calmly said as he stood up, trembling as he did. "I'm fighting for my friends! And I know that they're also fighting with me!" Yusei took a glance at the glowing crimson colored mark on his arm. It was even glowing brightier than usual. "And this....this is the mark that connects our bonds!" those words made Placido chuckle.
"Pathetic." commented Placido on Yusei's speech. Yusei didn't even bother to respond, he just stared at the ground blankly. "Heh. Whatever he does there's no way he'll be able to beat my strongest monster." thought the menace with a mischievous smile on his face. He took a look at his deck and drew the card on the top. "It is my turn." he said in an annoying way, somewhat mocking Yusei's ability. "Hahahahaha!!! I drew it! Finally! The card that will end your life and give fruition to my objectives!" Still, there was no response on Yusei's side. It was as if he didn't even care.
"I remove from play Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity from my field and the other two infinity monsters from my graveyard." Placido removed the three cards he mentioned from play. "Now awaken, Divine God - Alpha Omega Infinity!!" the monster rose. It was huge, probably the biggest monster Yusei have ever seen. It was white in color and wore a similar outfit to Placido but with its whole face revealed and the middle part of its outfit having an infinity mark. "Now, are you scared? My monster will put an end to your lives! Even if it can't attack during the first turn it is summoned, I can still beat you with it on the next turn. This God has Infinite attack points. What will you do now, Fudo Yusei?"
Divine God - Alpha Omega Infinity: ATK ∞ / DEF ∞ / LV 12
Yusei didn't bother to respond. His eyes are still glued on the ground. "Not the type to respond, eh? I guess you have declared my victory over you." commented Placido on Yusei's actions. In a calm and quiet way, with his eyes closed, Yusei drew the top card of his deck. With his mark and deck glowing, he was certain that this would be the last turn.
"It's my turn!"
At Neo Domino City.....the sky was gloomy and dark. All buildings in the city were turned to nothing but rubble and pieces of debris, people were hurt and severely injured. All of these were caused by the man of Yliaster, Placido. There was Crow, Jack, Ushio, and the other officers of Security, assisting the injured people while Aki and the others were gazing at the mysterious vortex that suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Big-Sis Aki, what is that thing?" asked Ruka innocently. The vortex was a mixture of black and red. It wields lightning bolts and cause tremors, making the people more frightened than they already are. "Also, the pain is more painful than usual." She held her arm where her Dragon mark was located, implying that the pain was coming from there.
"I don't know, Ruka." Aki answered plainly. "The pain merely implies that Yusei is still fighting, enduring all the pain." She turned to face the young signer. "Don't worry, everything will be alright." she forced a smile. The young signer nodded in agreement. Gazing upon the sky, Aki thought, "Yusei, just what is going on?"
Back at Infinite Space.....Yusei and Placido's duel continues. With Placido succeeding in summoning the strongest monster yet, Divine God - Alpha Omega Infinity, any hopes of Yusei winning the duel is completely lost. All hope resides in Yusei's last draw.
"Hmm....." Placido hummed, scanning Yusei's actions. Finally, Yusei faced Placido, giving him a smile. A smile that is somewhat declaring victory. Yusei put the card he drew from his deck to his hand, making the total cards in his hand three.
"I summon the tuner monster, Junk Synchron!" Yusei put the tuner's card on his duel disk and a machine-looking monster wearing an orange suit appeared on his side of the field. Junk Synchron opened a blue vortex and from it came Speed Warrior. "On the turn Junk Synchron is summoned, I can special summon a monster whose level is 2 or below from my graveyard in defense mode."
"I see. A Synchro Summon." the man of Yliaster stated. Speed Warrior let out a bright light and from it emerged a warrior whose body looks like a wall with a stronghold of two Gatling guns on its shoulder. "He sacrificed his level 2 monster to special summon a level 5 monster. Heh, Stardust Dragon." thought Placido, smiling mischievously.
"Level 5 Turret Warrior, Level 3 Junk Synchron, tuning!" Yusei started his chant as Junk Synchron revved his engine, eventually turning into three stars. "Clustering hopes will become a new shining star, become the path its light shines upon!" the three stars turned into three rings, engulfing Turret Warrior. Yusei's warrior monster turned into five star and together with the rings Junk Synchron formed, a bright light was emitted. "Synchro Summon! Take flight, Stardust Dragon!"
Stardust Dragon: ATK 2500 / DEF 2000 / LV 8
From the bright light, emerged a dragon. The dragon had white silver skin. It shines beautifully just like a truly magnificent dragon, living up to its name, Stardust Dragon. The Dragon roared so loud that its voice echoed throughout Infinite Space. Clearly, the dragon's will to fight and save the world is strong.
"Stardust Dragon, let's save the world together." the Signer that bears the Crimson Dragon's head mark spoke to his dragon. Stardust Dragon nods in agreement. "Placido! This is it!" A weak crimson-colored aura surrounded Yusei's body. Placido was shocked in awe, he couldn't believe what he is seeing.
"What is this?!" he stated in a calm way. The Signers' marks glowed with high intensity, giving them pain they've never felt before. Aki and the others at Neo Domino City still gazed upon the vortex which is now emitting a lot of lightning bolts. This made her worry about Yusei's state.
"Big-Sis Aki." Ruka said, noticing that Aki was kind of feeling down. "Don't worry, it'll be alright. Yusei isn't one to give up and we have this marks that connects us." those words made the worried Signer smile, nodding in agreement. "Let's just have faith in him, Big-Sis Aki." The two Signers noticed that their marks were glowing too bright.
"Yusei is asking for our help." Aki stated calmly. "He's still fighting. The only thing we can do now is to support him with the power of our bonds." the marks of the Front Claw, Tail, and Wings vanished in a flash but Aki's mark was different. "What's going on?" the mark on Aki's arm slowly turned into star dust and flew into the sky, entering the vortex. Lightning energy surged in the vortex and from it, an image of a mark which resembles a key appeared on the sky.
The mark was glowing in a bright crimson color, turning the whole gloomy and dark sky into crimson. The people were surprised and speechless of what just happened. "What? What happened?" Aki wondered. With the help of Yusei's bonds with his friends, he was able to garner the power of the Crimson Dragon. But this time, it was different. The mark of the Crimson Dragon's body appeared on his back and the very same mark that appeared on the skies of Neo Domino City mysteriously appeared on his body.
The weak crimson aura that surrounds his body slowly became larger and brighter. The aura took over his body, making his hair and eyes turn crimson. Unlike the crimson aura, his hair and eyes resembled a flame. This transformation made Placido shocked. He didn't know that he would actually see the only thing that he had feared in his life. The Star King is back.
"Placido, this ends now." Yusei calmly said. His voiced slightly changed, it was as if something was controlling him. "I summon the Booster Monster, Crimson Soul!" the monster looked like a fireball and is crimson in color. "Crimson Soul can be special summoned from my hand when there is a face-up Synchro monster on the field."
Crimson Soul: ATK 1000 / DEF 200 / LV 2
"Reverse card, open!" one of his trap cards that were set on the field lifted face-up. "Soul Booster. This trap card's effect adds two levels to Crimson Soul's level." A soul emerged from the trap card and went inside Crimson Soul's body.
Crimson Soul: LV 2 + 2 = LV 4
"It can't be!" thought the frightened menace, shaking in fear. Crimson Soul encircled Stardust Dragon in a spiral flame. "Is he the.....?"
"Crimson Soul boosts Stardust Dragon! A clustered star's true power is within itself. Become the force of light!" as Yusei chanted, a Crimson aura surrounded the whole dragon's body. "Evolve! Take Flight, Crimson Star Dragon!" the summoning emitted a flash of light which is Crimson in color and from that, emerged a dragon. The dragon looked similar to Stardust Dragon and the Crimson Dragon. Its whole body was covered in crimson flames. On the other hand, the card was a different type of card. It has a red frame.
Crimson Star Dragon: ATK 4800 / DEF 4800 / LV 12
"Crimson Star Dragon's attack and defense points is equal to its current level times 400." Placido fell on the ground, frightened from what he is currently seeing right now. Even the mighty villain has one weakness. The Star King and his loyal dragon, the Crimson Star Dragon. "Crimson Star Dragon! Finish this! Crimson Burst Sonic!" the dragon fired up a blast from its mouth towards Placido's God monster. The attack was similar to Stardust Dragon's Shooting Sonic but the energy burst is larger and is crimson in color.
"Divine God - Alpha Omega Infinity! Infinity Surge!" ordered Placido. His monster countered using a yellow ray of light coming from its body. Yusei's last face-down card lifted face-up.
"Trap card, activate! Power Balance! If I have a Power monster on my side of the field, the attack points of all the monsters on the field turn to zero." Yusei stated the trap's effect, but the trap card was destroyed by a yellow blast coming from Placido's monster.
"Once per turn, Divine God - Alpha Omega Infinity can negate a card effect that changes the attack points of a monster and destroy it." Yusei didn't flinch. Instead, he responded to Placido with a smile and saying, "I see."
"Crimson Star Dragon's effect activates! By reducing six levels, it can make the attack of a monster that destroyed a card through it's effect zero." the dragon sended off a bright flash of crimson light. This made Placido's Divine God to drop its attack to zero.
Crimson Star Dragon: ATK 2400 / DEF 2400 / LV 6
"What?!!" exclaimed the frightened villain, still on the ground.
"Even though Crimson Star Dragon's attack gets cut in half, it's still more than enough to deplete every life point you have." With that, the collision of the two energy bursts ended. Crimson Star Dragon's attack was able to destroy Divine God - Alpha Omega Infinity, bringing Placido with it.
"He is.....the.....Star King. Hehehee.... I was a fool to think I could prevent evolution." A small ounce of tear fell from his red eyes as he said those last words.
Placido - 0
Yusei reverted back to his normal form and the Signers' marks reappeared in their arms except for Aki's. He fell on the grounds of Infinite Space, exhausted and unconscious. He might have saved the whole world from Placido but now, it is unknown whether he'll be able to return to Neo Domino or be trapped in that endless space forever.
At Neo Domino City, the sky cleared up and reverted to being a beautiful blue sky. The vortex and the image of the mark disappeared. The people were happy on what they saw. It implies that the fight is over and Yusei has won over the hands of evil.
"Big-Sis Aki, Yusei won!" stated Ruka cheerfully. "Now, everything will be back to normal, right?" Crow and the others were gazing at the beautiful blue sky, smiling happily that the war is finally over.
"Yeah." she nods in agreement, pretending to be happy. Deep inside, she was worried. Worried of Yusei and the other things that had happened. She stared at her right arm. "Why is my mark gone? It's not coming back. Yusei, where are you? Do you know what's going on?" she thought, looking upon the skies of Neo Domino city.
