Ch.7: Sign of the Star
"My draw! First, I summon the level one Wheelon in defense mode. Then, I activate my Power Tool Dragon's special ability" said Leo " which allows me to pick a random equip spell from my deck. Great, just what I need! I play the spell Limitier Removal which doubles my dragon's attack points,"
Power Tool Dragon ATK: 4600
"Go Power Tool Dragon! " shouted Leo " destroy Infernal Dragon!"
Dark Leo grunts as his dragon is destroyed, bring his life points down to; 2300.
"Usually Limitier Removal would destroy my dragon" said Leo " but by sending it to the graveyard, my Power Tool Dragon, gets to stick around for another turn,"
Power Tool Dragon ATK: 2300
" Then this turn shall be your last!" shouted Dark Leo " I draw!"
A wolfish grin appears on Dark Leo's face.
"I don't like that look," said Crow to the other Signers.
"This is your end Leo" said Dark Leo to his counterpart " I play the trap card, Offers to the Immortals, which summons to sacrifical tokens to my field, but they won't being staying there for long,"
"Here it comes," said Yusei.
"I sacrifice my two tokens to summon that deviloush hound, Jakal Rasca!" shouted Dark Leo.
Yusei and the other Signers gasped in shock as Dark Leo an Earthbound Immortal they had never seen before. This gaint hound was just as big as his Immortal buddies, and struck the same fearsome tone.
Jakal Rasca ATK: 3500
"How's Leo going to put up with that thing?" asked Akiza.
"He's done for!" said Jack.
"Leo," Luna cried.
"Don't count him out yet," said Yusei.
"Let's see where friendship gets you now" said Dark Leo to his counterpart " Jakal Rasca, destroy Power Tool Dragon!"
"With great pleasure," said Jakal Rasca, clutching the dragon in his jaw, and smashing it with his fangs.
"Power Tool Dragon!" Leo yelled.
Leo's LP: 2000
" I'm afriad it doesn't end there" said Dark Leo, grinning at his counterpart " cause when Jakal Rasca successfully destroys a monster in battle, you take 1000 points of damage,"
"Say what!" yelled Jack.
Jakal Rasca opened his mouth, releasing a powerful beam of yellow energy right at Leo. When the smoke cleared, Leo was severely bruised and shaking, but was still standing on his feet.
Leo's LP: 1000
"Why bother continueing to fight?" said Jakal Rasca to Leo " you're pathetic and worthless. No powers, no mark. How can you even think that you could save your friends,"
"Because I promised," said Leo.
"Promises, bah" said Jakal Rasca " friendship itself is a promise. A promise that is never meant to last. You're just a toy to them Leo, a pawn. They only keep you around to make fun of and torment. They do whatever makes them feel superior,"
"That's not true!" shouted Crow.
"Oh isn't it?" said Jakal, looking towards the Signers " I can see the pain in this boy's eyes. He tries to hide it, but I know it is there. He's just a pawn to you,"
"You're wrong!" shouted Luna " Leo's my brother and I care for him!"
"We all do!" said Yusei.
"And nothing you say is going to change that!" said Jack.
"Guys...," cried Leo, touched by his friends words.
Suddenly, surprise grabbed everyone as all of the Signers marks began to glow. A glowing red light, appeared up from behind Leo and took the form of the Crimson Dragon. Everyone was gazing in shock.
Leo felt a burning sensation on his chest, and looked to see a glowing red star mark had appeared on it. He looked to the Crimson Dragon to a large, glowing white star shining on it's chest.
"I'm...a Signer," said Leo, still quite not believing it. Yusei and the others weren't quite ready to believe it either.
Lifting his head, the Crimson Dragon roared, calling all of the other Signer marks to join Leo's star mark. Making it look so like the Crimson Dragon symbol now on Leo's chest looked as if it was flying around the star.
"I understand" said Leo to the Crimson Dragon, then turned back to face his dark counterpart " I draw! I play the spell, Monster Reborn, bringing my Power Tool Dragon back from the grave! Then I summon my Machine Spider to the field in defense mode, but he won't be sticking around for long,"
"I sacrifice my one level Machine Spider, one level Wheelon, and level seven Power Tool Dragon in order to summon, the magnificent Power Earth Dragon!"
"No!" cried the King of the Netherworld, his soul ripped from Power Earth Dragon's body, as it joined Leo's side of the field. Power Earth Dragon threw Leo a wink in gratitude as his soul rejoined his body, then turned back to face his opponent.
Without the King of Netherworld's power to hold up the shield surrounding Yusei and the others, it wasn't long before the shield dissolved and they were free.
"Master!" yelled Dark Leo, looking at the withering soul of the King of the Netherworld. Then turned his glaring red eyes at Leo. " you'll pay for that!"
" Not likely" said Leo " I play the spell, Power Boost, giving my Power Earth Dragon an extra 500 attack points,"
"That's still not enough to defeat me," growled Jakal Rasca.
"It is once I activate Power Earth Dragon's specail ability" said Leo " by removing my Power Tool Dragon from play, I can add his base attack points to Power Earth Dragon's attack points,"
Power Earth Dragon ATK: 6200
"No!" yelled Jakal Rasca.
"Yes" said Leo " Power Earth Dragon, muzzle that dog!"
With that Power Earth Dragon attacked Jakal Rasca, destroying the dog with one blow. The Dark Leo avatar fell on his back from the force of the attack, and dissappeared in a cloud of black smoke as his life points went down to 0. Yusei and the others immediately ran over to congradulate Leo.
"I'm so proud of you," said Luna, hugging her brother tight.
"Thanks Sis," said Leo, blushing from all the attention.
Suddenly the whole cavern started falling apart. With the King of the Netherworld defeated, the Netherworld was ceasing to exsist.
"We got to get out of here!" yelled Jack.
The Crimson Dragon heard thier pleas, swallowed the Signers, and started flying them back towards the real world.
