Chapter 7
"I will go first," Trueman said, "This will be a triangle duel, though I have no doubt that you will team up against me. I draw. Since there are no monsters on the field, I can special summon Cockadoodledoo (ATK 1600). Now I tribute it and summon Vanity's Fiend (ATK 2400)."
"Horseapples," Daring Dash muttered.
"I know," Rainbow Blitz replied, "But we still have a few strategies."
"Next," Trueman continued, "I will set two cards and end my turn."
"I'll go next," Blitz declared as he drew (SPC: 1), "I'll toss down a monster and two cards. You're up Daring."
"Great," she replied, "I draw (SPC: 2)! I tribute Blitz's face-down in order to summon Prism Knight Orange (ATK 2000)."
"Trap hole," Trueman simply said.
"I'll activate Seven Tools of the Bandit!" Blitz declared.
Blitz: 8000-7000
Trueman's card exploded and Blitz activated another card, "I play Metalmmorph to give Daring's monster a power boost (2000-2300)."
"Yeah," Daring continued, "When my monster attacks, it gains points equal to half of your monster's. So attack his Vanity's Fiend (2300-3500)!"
"I activate Magic Cylinder," Trueman countered, "I believe you know what this does."
The knight's sword came at Daring and smacked her away. She lost some speed but she never stopped moving.
Daring: 8000-4500
"Are you alright?" Blitz called out.
Daring wiped some sweat from her forehead, "I'll live. I'll set this and end my turn (3500-2300).
"My turn then," Trueman said as he drew (SPC: 3), "I summon Dark Archetype. Since I have three speed counters I can activate Speed-Spell Double Summon. I tribute Dark Archetype and summon Jinzo (ATK 2400)(ATK 2300-2000)."
"No!" Daring thought, "Now I can't use my face-down."
"Fiend, Jinzo, attack Rainbow Blitz."
Both monsters fired their attacks at Blitz. He was thrown back and landed on the ground.
Blitz: 7000-2200
"Blitz!" Daring cried, "Are you okay?"
Blitz slowly stood and flexed his wings. Then he slowly took flight once more, "I'll be fine, but this guy sure won't be!"
"If you truly believe that, I end my turn!"
"I draw," Blitz declared (SPC 4), "I activate Speed Spell – Overboost to give me six more speed counters (SPC B: 10). Now I can pay those ten counters (SPC B: 0) to destroy your Vanity's Fiend!"
The monster exploded and Trueman covered his face, "You may be able to synchro summon again, but it won't matter."
"Oh yeah? I summon Prism Knight Violet (ATK 1400). I tune Daring's Prism Knight Orange to my Violet. I synchro summon our level seven Spectrum Overlord (ATK 2600)!" An incredibly large crystal warrior appeared. "When Violet is used as synchro material, you get hit with five hundred points of damage."
Trueman: 8000-7500
"Overlord, attack Jinzo!"
Trueman: 7500-7300
"When Overlord destroys an opponent's monster, I can hit you for half of your monster's points."
Trueman: 7300-6100
"I end my turn (SPC B: 1)."
"I draw," Daring said (SPC B: 2)(SPC 5), "I summon Prism Knight Violet (ATK 1400). Violet, attack Trueman directly!"
Trueman: 6100-4700
"I end my turn."
Trueman drew (SPC B: 3)(SPC 6), "I activate Dark Conversion. I banish the Mecklord Emperor Wisel from my deck to summon a new monster. Appear, Dark Mech King – Wisel (ATK 2500)." A copy of Wisel with a black color scheme appeared.
"What is that thing?" Blitz asked, trying not to let fear enter his voice.
"I have converted Wisel into a being that belongs to the World of Darkness. It has the same effect as its original form. Your Spectrum Overlord will now join the World of Darkness." Dark chains flew from Wisel's chest and wrapped around Overlord. They pulled the struggling monster into the core (ATK 2500-5100). "Wisel, attack Blitz!"
"I activate Attack Guidance Armor," Daring declared, "Violet will take that attack!"
Wisel attacked Violet, with the blade coming for Daring. She was knocked to the ground and did not get up.
Daring: 4500-600
"Daring!" Blitz called out as he flew back for his sister. He landed on his knees and held Daring in his arms.
Trueman made a full lap before stopping beside the twins, "See? There is no way that you can win. I have defeated you with a card that represents your bonds. Just accept the World of Darkness."
"Never! Just end your turn so I can end you!"
"Fine. Your move."
Blitz gently laid his sister on the ground and stood up, "I draw (SPC B: 4)(SPC 7)! I set two cards and one monster."
Blitz knelt and gently rubbed his sister's head, "Please get up, Daring. Please."
Daring seemed to stir slightly, but never opened her eyes.
"If she can't continue, I will go. I draw (SPC B: 5)(SPC 8). I pay four speed counters and reveal a speed spell in my hand to deal eight hundred points of damage to your sister."
Daring: 600-0
"Now I activate Speed Spell – Defense Buster. This switches your monster to face-up defense position." The monster was a Prism Knight Yellow (ATK 800). "You can't stop the World of Darkness. Your sister has fallen, and now you shall as well. Wisel, attack Prism Knight Yellow."
Blitz: 2200-0
Blitz collapsed as the World of Darkness took him and his sister in.

Hope fell out of the portal in front of the library.
"Where are the others?"
"Greetings, Hope's Light," Trueman's voice said.
Hope looked up and saw half a dozen copies of Trueman, "Oh come on!"
She activated her duel disk.
