[HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY DUEL MASTERS: KAIJUDO GENERATION! 3/7/2012]

Chapter 7: Guljeneraid, Knights and Fallen Stars

Tsume flew over the Massive fortress, after hearing Kachua's screams for help. All the more, he could sense her presence the energy that she was exerting to summon him to her.

"Don't worry; I'm on my way…" Tsume nodded as he dove down towards the roof…

"I Generate Fire Blades!" Marcus called out as he tapped his Fire and Darkness mana. The Red Flame motif Roller Blades materialized on his side as C.J. drew his next card.

C.J. set mana and tapped them both; "I Summon Paconeco, the Dream Ruler."

Paconeco Materialized next to C.J., Marcus snickering. "These furballs again…"

Marcus Drew and set mana. "I Summon Braveheart Dragoon, Break his shields ike!"

The Red Tyrannoid materialized and shot towards C.J., Tornado kicking one of his shields. The Pressure of the kick sent a gust of wind as the sharp shield shards shot past him.

"Gonna take more than that…" C.J. said as he collected the card. He drew and set mana. "I summon Cocco Lupia!"

Cocco Lupia flew into the Battle Zone; C.J. looked up at the bird.

"Flare?" C.J. asked.

Cocco Lupia paid him no mind and just chirped.

"Didn't think so… Anyway, Paconeco, Break his shield ike!"

Paconeco waved its wand and picked up a piece of rubble, which it chucked at one of Marcus shields.

Marcus withstood the assault and collected the shield, followed by drawing. "I Summon Necrodragon Zalva."

The Green Serpent rose from the black dirt from the ground and roared. C.J. drew a card afterward.

"Zombie Dragons…" C.J. stared. "Didn't expect that one…"

"Guess you didn't realize that this place is the graveyard for all of the fallen dragons in history; Hence the name: 'Dragon's Pit…'."

"I have a Question…" C.J. suddenly announced. "Why are you trying so hard to resurrect Guljeneraid?"

Marcus raised his eyebrow and chuckled. "I'm not trying hard, I'm Succeeding Easily. You took the bait."

"Took the bait?" C.J. repeated.

"You'll know soon enough…"

C.J. drew and set mana. "I summon Terradragon Dagradolgran!"

Cocco Played its flute summoning the Yellow dragon into the Battle Zone.

"I End my turn for now." C.J. said afterward.

Marcus smirked and drew his next card. He set the fire mana and tapped 3.

"I Summon Smashblow Dragoon, and tap the remaining two mana to cross Fire Blade onto it."

Smashblow materialized followed by the gear generating on his feet.

"Now my Creatures, Ike!" Marcus ordered; one by one the creatures attacked C.J. who held his ground, despite the force trying to push him off the roof.

"Next turn you're finished…" Marcus smirked evily. His eyes widened when he noticed that two of the broken shield shards glistened and regrouped into C.J.'s hand.

"Shield Trigger: Hell Scrapper, Destroy Braveheart and Smashblow!"

The Scrapper materialized behind them and took out the two Tyrannoids.

"Also, Shield Trigger X: Octillion Force, Cross onto Dagradolgran!"

"What?" Marcus realized as Dagradolgran mutated to fit the Armor received.

"My turn…" C.J. drew and set mana. "I Summon Super Dragon Machine Dolzark!"

Another Dolzark materialized behind C.J. and roared.

"Dagradolgran, Triple Break! Dolzark, Send Zalva to mana!"

Dagradolgran unleashed a beam of green flames that converted the three shields into mana, while Dolzark threw its tomahawk at Zalva turning it into mana as well.

"IMPOSSIBLE!" Marcus shouted, watching the devastating turn of events.

"It's over… I Win." C.J. told him. "Now then, with that said…" He crossed his arms in confidence. "Either release Kachua or get a face full of Earth Dragon."

"You really think I'd give up that easily?" Marcus asked.

"Cocco Lupia, break his last shield!"

Cocco did just so, the last shield shattering.

"You're such a fool… Shield Trigger:" The Shards froze and regenerated; "Terror Pit on Dolzark!"

The shards shot towards the dragon and constricted it to pieces.

C.J. snickered. "I End my turn."

"I don't know if you noticed, but you gave me quite a bit of mana…"

C.J. looked and realized that his attack supplied Marcus with an additional 4 mana, totaling 9.

"Crap…" C.J. bit his lip.

"I Summon Endbringer Dragoon, and Braveheart Dragoon."

The two Creatures materialized.

"And I cross Fire Blades on Endbringer. Endbringer, Destroy Dagradolgran!"

The White Tyranoid drew its purple blade and cuts down the dragon with no effort.

"Braveheart, Attack Cocco!"

Braveheart and Cocco clashed, both creatures dying with each other. The Battle Zone was empty on both sides, only Cross Gears remaining Marcus thought.

"You seem to be forgetting about something…" C.J. pointed out.

Marcus raised his eyebrow and looked down, seeing the little white furball wave back.

"Paconeco, Todomeda!" C.J. called out as Paconeco made the final attack, breaking the tie between them.

Marcus flew back in pain, rolling across the ground.

"Dammit… Those little rats…" Marcus snarled.

"Now then, you taken out, I think it's time for me to head on out of here… Sayonara." C.J. waved. He collected his deck and turned around.

"It'll be a cold day in hell before I let you leave alive!" Marcus suddenly blurted out. His Kaijudo Energy skyrocketed, as the aura materialized in an instant, his anger fueling it.

A Group of Tyrannoids materialized behind him, bloodthirsty and ready to attack once given an order.

"Kill him…" Marcus pointed.

The warriors nodded and charged on the unsuspecting C.J….

The doors slide open revealing Kachua and the two NOVA Agents as they dragged her exhausted body up to the Rockwall where the chains would hook at. The area was illuminated by the yellow lava that resonated a good 50 down as the scheming red eyes glowed from under it.

"Looks like Guljeneraid close to awakening…" one of the agents smirked. "Won't be long now…"

"Enjoy your last moments of piece, Princess…"

The duo laughed as they left Kachua to die. She cried, wishing even more for Tsume to bust into the room and rescue her from the Dragon.

"KACHUA!" Tsume shouted, followed by some explosions and screeches by the creatures being thrashed about.

Her expression went from sorrow to relief as she recognized the voice almost instantly.

"He found me… But how?" She thought. She tried using her power again, the chains putting more pain into it than the others; but at this point, she was so used to the 'shock therapy' that she purposely poured more power into it just to make sure she was getting through. Hopefully she figured that she could summon a Zombie Dragon in the area to assist him.

Guljeneraid roared from the energy as it felt it as well, despite it however he couldn't break from his prison as his roars grew louder, shaking the room.

The doorway suddenly was blasted away as Tsume's roar followed. He flew in and saw the blind girl, weakened, but safe, despite being chained to a wall and all.

"Kachua!" He shot over and hugged the Faerie.

"Is that really you Tsume?" She asked. "You feel different; you don't have fur, more like armor…"

Tsume chuckled. "I had a bit of a upgrade recently, courtesy of the 'Avatar of Unity'

Kachua felt Tsume's chest and arms, trying to make a mental picture of it in her mind.

"You became a Dolzark…" She confirmed.

Tsume nodded. "That's right. With me being a dragon, finding you was a cinch."

Kachua leaned her head on Tsume and cried. "Thank you for saving me…"

"Anything for my princess…" Tsume told her softly.

"Die Stupid Dragon!"

Tsume suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back as it roared at the top of his lungs. A NOVA Agent stabbed him with a Slayer Scythe, the poison shooting through his body.

"Tsume NO!" Kachua screamed.

Tsume's vision became fuzzy as he took a step back going until he fell off the ledge.

"TSUME!" She screamed.

"Kachua… C.J. I'm sorry…" Tsume dropped into the pool as the result lit up the lava as if a chemical reaction.

Guljeneraid roar grew louder as it began to rise from the pool of lava like a Zombie.

"Cross Over…" C.J. said softly as he disappeared in and instant of the Tyranoids attacking. He appeared behind Marcus, his Emerald Fist ready to be launched.

"Cross Over!" Marcus said, the Fire Blades and the Slayer Scythe materializing with him. The Tyranoids just stared in awe as the duo moved at blinding speed attacking each other, being a few feet from their previous section every three seconds.

The duo found themselves in a deadlock as C.J. held the blade of the Scythe back.

"What do you mean that we 'Took the Bait'?"

The two backed off of each other as Marcus rested the blade on the ground.

"The thing is… Guljeneraid isn't any ordinary Zombie Dragon; He is in fact, a Zombie.

"You point?"

"In Order to resurrect Guljeneraid, we need a Dragon to die…"

"A Dragon to- Don't tell me that…"

"That's right. We had no need for Kachua other than to use her power to summon an unsuspecting Dragon for us to kill off. To our surprise, you allowed your Dolzark to play the part of Bait…"

"Why you…"

Guljeneraid roared suddenly, making Marcus smirked. "Hook, line and Sinker."

"Tsume!" C.J was getting ready to charge, but Marcus punched him back, making him tumble towards the ground.

"No chance." Marcus told him. "Like your friend, I'm gonna kill you and take that gear off of your hands." He then whistled and the trio of Tyranoids nodded.

"Galaxy Vortex Evolution!"

They began to glow as they united into Mars.

"I win… Either hand over the Gear or get a Face Full of Phoenix."

"Bite me…" C.J. snarled. He got up and charged and threw a punch at Marcus. He easily ducked and socked him, making him double over.

"You don't have the experience I have with Cross Overs, so don't try to drag the inevitable. It's clear that I have much more power than you do."

C.J. coughed and forced himself up. "You really think that's enough to stop me?"

"Of course not; Mars… get him." Marcus snapped his fingers and Mars responded by charging.

"You're out of your freaking mind…" C.J. glared. His Kaijudo Energy shot up as twin Regarion suddenly materialized and stopped Mars attack.

"Vortex Evolution…" C.J. said.

The twin Earth Dragons began to glow, still holding Mars in Place.

"I summon Gaia, the Ground Comet!"

The Twin dragons fused into the Phoenix as it knocked the Beast over with its horns.

"Generate: Octillion Force. Cross!" C.J. called out as he threw the electrified card at Gaia.

Gaia Roared as the armor clasped onto it.

"Go, Gaia!" C.J. shouted.

Mars roared as its heads all charged and shot beams at Gaia.

Gaia simply chuckled. "What a disgrace of a Phoenix you are…" The blades readied themselves and in one fell swoop, the small serpents all fell slashed to bits as Mars screeched in pain.

Gaia then set its sights on the main body and charged, the Octillion Blades slashing Mars as it exploded after the assault.

Marcus eyes were wide open, shocked to watch his Supernova destroyed like that.

"You turn…" C.J. said. he used the blades to shoot back up and uppercut Marcus into the air, the blades making them go higher.

"There's no way that… you could be able to do this!"

"There's a way… You pissed me off!" C.J. spun in midair and kicked Marcus back to the ground, the speed of the blade putting force into it.

Marcus crashed into the ground, rolling. He stopped, lying on his back as he opened his eyes, just to see C.J. charging with his Emerald fist glowing violently.

"Terra Impact!" C.J. Landed and slammed Marcus with his fist, the ladder feeling his insides cave in from the massive pressure felt.

"It's… not possible… I'm… The Blazing Supernova…" Marcus lost consciousness after uttering those words as C.J. stood up, his anger still rising. He raised his other fist up, ready to finish him off.

"This… is for Tsume!" his fist went in for the kill.

"That's enough!" Gaia snapped, making C.J. stop.

"Like hell it is!"

"I Said… That's enough, Terra Knight. He's in no position to pose a threat anymore; Leave him alone. You have more important matters to attend to.

Guljeneraid roared as NOVA agents and their creatures were blown back by the rampaging monster that tore through the rest of the base further ahead.

"You're right… Let's go." C.J. hopped onto Gaia as the duo rode off.

Back at the NOVA Airship, Michael bowed before Master Ryuusei, presenting the Neo Wave Catastrophe Gear he took from Dylan during their confrontation. Vanessa, Peyton and June watched from afar as Ryuusei commended him for his work.

"Marcus isn't gonna like this…" Vanessa smirked. "This alone would send the hothead over the edge."

"Well it almost happened earlier." June replied. She pulled out a green apple from her pocket and bit into it. "Peyton and I broke it up before it got serious."

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him in like two days. Where'd he run off too?" Vanessa asked.

"I heard that he went to the Dragon Pit." Peyton replied. "Kidnapped Kachua out of the Snow Fields and he's trying to resurrect that Guljeneraid Dragon."

"What'll that do? Is he trying to get Brownie Points or something?"

"As a matter of fact, Master Ryuusei's the one who stationed him out there. Legend has it that Necrodragon Guljeneraid was one of Thanatos' servants, and with his power it'll put us at a huge advantage in the war." Peyton replied.

"Interesting; looks like he took my words to heart then." June smiled.

"Master Ryuusei!" one of the Agents sped past the trio as they watched him run up to the throne.

"What do you want?" the General asked coldly.

"Guljeneraid's on a rampage and Mars isn't responding to any of our calls!"

Mike and the others turn to him, surprised at that statement.

"So much for those brownie points…" Vanessa said.

"What do you suppose we do?" the Agent asked.

Master Ryuusei crossed his arms and smirked. "He's Grown up, let him sort it out."

"But sir…"

"That's an order; leave him be." Ryuusei Snarled.

"Y-Yes sir…" The Agent saluted and walked off.

Mike and the others were shocked by Ryuusei's judgment of Marcus; despite none of them getting along so well, the fact still remained that they were a team nonetheless. So just hearing the implication of abandoning Marcus out there just didn't seem right to them.

Peyton sighed. "It looks like I'm the one going right?"

The two girls turned to him.

"I'll see you guys in a little bit." Peyton turned and waved his hand.

Mike watched Peyton walk off. "And so the plot thickens…"

Guljeneraid roared and shot black flames everywhere as the various creatures and agents ran for their lives. C.J. and Gaia reached the area where Guljeneraid rose from, C.J. spotting Kachua. He jumped off of Gaia's back and unhooked the chains.

"Who are you…?" Kachua asked.

"A friend of Tsume;" He replied, wrapping her arm around his shoulder. "Can you walk?"

"Barely;" she sighed. "I got shocked so many times my body's mostly numb."

"Don't worry, we're gonna get you back home…" C.J. reassured. "After we find a way to deal with the zombie here…"

Guljeneraid spotted the group and growled, followed by a roar.

"Crap he saw us!" C.J. said. "Wait a sec…"

Guljeneraid's roar was instead a Tomahawk in its rotting backside as Tsume flew from the pit under them, the lava dripping off his armor.

"Hey, you made it just in time." Tsume waved.

"You're alive?" C.J. asked. "But how, Guljeneraid needed a Dragon to come back to life…"

Tsume nodded and reached for his back, pulling off the skull of a Necrodragon Halberd.

"Some idiot Nova Agent killed a dragon that tried to bite me from behind."

"So why the hell did you make me think you died?" C.J. and Kachua nearly said simultaneously.

"Because I figured it'd be awesome to arise from the dead when all hope seemed lost." Tsume laughed.

"Same old Tsume…" C.J. shook his head.

"Now then…" Tsume turned to the Dragon. "C.J., Let's make this quick."

C.J. nodded the cross gears generating on his hands and fist. "Ready whenever you are; Octillion Force: Cross onto Dolzark!"

Gaia nodded and surrendered the gear to Dolzark as the armor clasped on.

"Now, Generate Evolution; Octillion Force into Prominence Catastrophe!" C.J held the card into the air as it lit up red and green lighting. The radiance hit Guljeneraid making it hurt deeply from the electricity flowing through.

The lava from below shot up like geysers that circled Dolzark. His armor turned gold and red and it also sprouted crimson red wings of a Phoenix. C.J. stood in awe watching the presentation of might and power being excreted as Tsume roared violently.

Guljeneraid, unfazed by the upgrade blew flames at Tsume. Tsume geld his hand out and generated a Blade from the flames. He charged, cutting through the black flames and finally piercing the Dragon's heart, slaying it.

Guljeneraid roared in agony as it's yellow eyes grew dim. Tsume withdrew his blade as the dragon crashed back in the pool, the stream of data-like particles fading off.

"Wow; when you said quickly you weren't kidding." Kachua commented.

"I never kid." Tsume replied.

"I call Bullcrap!" C.J. said.

"You're a different story." Tsume replied; "Another story, for another time."

"What's that supposed to mean?" C.J. asked.

"I'll explain later; for now, let's just get Kachua back home."

"Thanks for your help Gaia."

"Thank you for allowing me to assist you." He replied. Gaia disappeared and returned to C.J.'s deck as Tsume helped him and Kachua onto his back.

"Tsume…" Kachua leaned forward. "Thanks for always being there for me."

"Like I said; anything for my princess…." Tsume nodded.

They then flew off towards the direction of the Nature Civilization as Guljeneraid's card flew up into the air. It floated slowly down to the earth, landing in someone's hand.

"Not bad C.J…" Karon looked as he watched them leave. "Save me the trouble of slaying it." He opened the deck case and slid it in. he was about to reinsert the case, but stopped himself, noticing Ballom on the front of his deck.

"Kage; let's move out."

The Deathliger under him roared and nodded. "Where to…?"

"The Water Civilization; There's some creatures I wanna recruit for my deck."

"You know I hate the water…" Kage reminded him. "But as you wish…"

Deathliger then started to run east of their position, towards the Water Civilization border between the two civilizations, despite not knowing Karon's motives of going, let alone the danger that they'll be facing…
