Chapter IX: Pharaoh's Servant Part 4 – Backs To The Wall
The roar of a dragon could be heard throughout the forest. The Gravekeeper's Priestess continues to heal Malinda despite this, while the humans and Gran grow worried. "They're coming."
"I know," says Ijin to Jeff.
In the distance the Ultimate Tyranno can be seen making its way towards the valley. On its back are the members of the X-Saber tribe. The monstrous dinosaur soon reaches the valley, before roaring as the warriors hop off its back.
The first to move is the leader, XX-Saber Gottoms. He draws his sword and raises it high up in the air. "Men, let's move. The Barrier Statue needs our protection. We will win for our god Messiah!"
The others cheer before they charge into battle. Green energy leaks off of Gottoms' body, in a similar matter Vajrayana and Aporia. The swordsman walks towards the valley with a calm demeanor.

The priestess raises her staff, and Malinda stands with ease. "I feel...great!"
"You're healed, and now I must ask for a favor of you," says the priestess before returning to her crypt. "I want you to help us fight against them. They're seeking to protect the Barrier Statue."
"Then we'll stop them!" Jeff holds up his duel disk and prepares himself. Ijin does the same while Malinda follows. "I'll take the one with the segmented sword, and you take the rest."
"So you get to fight the woman, and we get the others?" Jeff curses under his breath with Malinda's words. Piranha reaches them first, swinging her segmented sword at the humans.
"Evocator Chevalier!" Jeff sends out his Gemini monster who blocks the attack.
"Amazoness Sword Woman!" Ijin's monster goes in and slashes at Piranha's side.
"Hold it! Hold it! Hoooold it!" X-Saber Wayne fires at the warriors, and the two grab their sides feeling pain. "No one is going to do anything! Just surrender politely and no one gets filled with holes!"
Souza and Axel come in and slam Jeff and Ijin into the ground to restrain them. Malinda prepares to summon a monster, but Wayne aims his weapon at her and Piranha entangles her with her sword. Souza then laughs, saying, "Take that, runaway cowards!"
"Phantasm Sonic!" A wave of dark energy sends them flying across the sandy field. Looking back Malinda-tachi could see it was the Gravekeeper's Spear, Assassin, Cannon Holder, Chief and Vision behind them prepared for battle. "You are trespassing on sacred ground. Leave now, or become one with the earth."
"If you're threatening us then don't bother begging for your lives," says Urbellum as he walks towards them dual wielding his swords. "It's just a waste of time."
…
Rex and Chase continue towards the Barrier Statue. "Are we there yet?"
"What do you think?" Rex responds to Chase's question.
"I found you." The two friends turn around to see the X-Saber Commander and Swordmaster Gottoms approaching them. He raises his Sword of Sparkles high in the air and swings, releasing a stream of stardust light towards them.
The boys get thrown back a bit, landing on the rock hard ground. The swordmaster walks towards with his weapon raised to make another strike. "I won't let you run away again. You will become fodder for our ruler's return to the human world, along with the rest of your friends."
"That's right..." Rex picks himself up. "You're the asshole who killed the other students, and those villagers."
Gottoms releases his sword beam again, and this time they jump out of the way. Chase, however, gets his right leg caught and cut up. He screams in pain while clutching his leg. "Chase!"
"Now you two can't run away. You can't leave behind your comrade, can you?" Gottoms aims his blade at Chase.
"Wait, stop! Duel with me!" Rex demands while activating his duel disk.
Gottoms turns his attention away to face Rex. "Good! Standing up for one's comrades; that is respectable among the X-Sabers. We'll duel." Gottoms forms a duel disk on his left arm.
"DUEL!"
Gottoms: 8000
Rex: 8000
"Rex, wait! You know exactly what's going to happen if you lose!"
"Then I won't lose. We can't run away from this guy forever." Rex draws five cards just as his opponent does. "I'll begin; draw!"
Rex looks over the cards in his hand. "I'll set one monster facedown on the field along with two cards. Turn end."
Rex: 3/8000
"Draw!" Gottoms draws a card. "I'll summon XX-Saber Boggart Knight!" A man concealed in shining armor appears to the field. He draws his shining sword and reveals his stats of 1900/1000. "When Boggart Knight is normal summoned I can special summon an X-Saber monster with a level equal to or less than that of Boggart Knight from my hand.
"Appear, Tuner monster XX-Saber Fulhelmknight!" Standing beside the knight is a blond woman wielding a segmented sword. 1300/1000
"Two monsters in one turn?" Rex notes while watching.
"While I control two or more X-Sabers on the field, I can special summon XX-Saber Faultroll!" A third Saber appears in between them. 2400/1800
"I'll tune together my level 4 Boggart Knight and the level 3 Fulhelmknight!" Fulhelmknight swings her weapon, which forms into Synchro rings and causes her to vanish. The knight flies in through them. "The mad slaughterer of the ten swords will split the world in half! Synchro Summon; appear, X-Saber Souza!"
With a strike of lightning a bulky swordsman appears to the field. He draws two swords and holds them together in an X before laughing. 2500/1600
"I'll activate the power of Faultroll; I'll special summon Fulhelmknight to the field from the grave." Faultroll slams his sword into the ground, and up rises the female swordsman. "Souza's effect activates! I'll sacrifice Fulhelmknight to trigger one of his effects; whenever he battles a monster he'll destroy it without damage calculation."
"What?!"
"Souza, slaughter his monster!" The dual wielding swordsman comes in and slashes at the side card.
"Trap card open; Depth Amulet!" A jewel appears before Rex. "By discarding one card I can negate one attack!"
Rex sends a card to the graveyard, and Souza's strike is blocked. "Then I'll attack again with Faultroll!"
His monster rushes in to strike. "I'll use Depth Amulet once more!"
His next card blocks an incoming strike. "I'll now reveal the effect of the monster I just discarded; Goldd, the Wu-Lord of Dark World." Darkness rises up beside the facedown in the form of the gold ax wielder Goldd. 2300/1400
"Dark World, huh? Then I'll set two cards and end my turn."
Rex: 1/8000
Gottoms: 0/8000
"Draw!" Rex picks a card from his deck. Looking at the card he turns to his friend Chase. "Go find the statue!"
"Got it." Chase picks himself up and heads towards the direction the priestess showed them, limping the way with his bruised leg.
"Now, hurry up. Flip over Morphin Jar." Rex flinches at his assumption. "Of course I know you'd set that. It's a fundamental card in any Dark World deck."
'So that's why he set those two cards. One of them might be a trap, but the other has to be a spell he can't use as a Quick play because he knew I would use Morphin Jar on him...' "I flip summon Morphin Jar!" The one eyed monster reveals itself and devours Rex's two cards. "We each send our hands to the graveyard and draw five cards."
Gottoms laughs before drawing his cards. "Like I suspected."
"I'll use the effect of the Dark World monster I sent to the graveyard, Broww. When he's discarded by a card effect I can draw one card. I'll then normal summon Dark Resonator in attack position!"
An implike little creature appears on the field, snickering while releasing electricity from his hands. 1300/300 "I'll now tune together the level 5 Goldd with the level 2 tuner monster Force Resonator!"
The imp releases lightning into the skies and strikes itself with it. It transforms the little guy into Synchro rings that encase Goldd. "The star of death that shines at the zenith of the heavens...Descend to the Earth and make judgment upon the living! Synchro Summon! Tenkeiou, Black Highlander!"
From the heavens descends a towering Grim Reaper. He swings his death scythe in the air before laughing, his breath releasing a black mist that covers the area. 2800/2300
"Not so fast. Trap card; Demon's Chain!" Gottoms' trap opens up, and chains begin to wrap around Black Highlander. "Demon's Chain will wrap around your monster and negate its abilities and means to attack!"
"Counter Trap; Dark Illusion!" Black Highlander fades out of the chains. "Dark Illusion negates the effect of a trap card that targets a Dark monster, and destroys it." Demon's Chain shatters, giving Rex a satisfying grin.
"You're only delaying the inevitable." Gottoms crosses his arms over his chest.
"I'll send you to the grave. I'll activate Dark World Dealings! By drawing one card we each discard a card to the graveyard!" They both perform the action, and together discard. From Rex's grave rises a monster. "I discarded another Broww, so I'll draw again. Black Highlander, attack Souza! Death Pola-Slay!"
The grim reaper flies in towards the swordsman and swings at his neck. "At the attack declaration I open my reverse card; Forbidden Dress!"
Gottoms' facedown forms a dress around the reaper. "The Forbidden Dress reduces your monster's attack by 600 and makes it untouchable by Spell and Trap card effects. Of course, I only need it to lose its strength for now."
Black Highlander: 2200
"I've got this; Dark Bribe activate!" Rex's trap activates in time. "You draw one card, and I negate the activation and effect of a spell and trap card you have. Black Highlander is safe!"
The reaper tears through the dress before swinging his scythe at Souza. Gottoms grins under his helmet. "I'll activate the effect of Arbitrator of Mediation from my hand; when you destroy a card during my battle phase I can negate your attack and end the battle phase by discarding him."
An old sage appears before the highlander, causing him to stop. Rex grits his teeth in annoyance. "I'll set two cards and end my turn."
Rex: 3/8000
Gottoms: 5/8000
"Draw!" Gottoms draws, making a swing that blows in the wind. "I'll use Faultroll's effect to revive Fulhelmknight!"
The blond swordsman returns to the field. "Now, I'll tune Fulhelmknight together with Faultroll!"
Fulhelmknight tries to perform her abilities, but the black mist surrounding her causes the woman to cry out in pain and fall backwards. This takes him by surprise. "What happened?!"
"Death Tropics." On Rex's side of the field the black reaper makes a devious laugh."You don't know much about my cards. Though I use Synchro monsters my strategy locks down them too. Black Highlander seals away Synchro Summoning."
Gottoms looks upon Black Highlander, before picking a card from his hand. "I'll activate the Field Spell Saber Vault!" The field changes to the inside of a sword vault. "All X-Saber monsters gain 100 atk and lose 100 def for their levels."
Souza: 3200/900
Faultroll: 3000/1200
Fulhelmknight: 1600/700
"I will now equip Souza with Noble Arms – Caliburn." Souza sheathes his weapons to take up new arms. "Caliburn raises Souza's attack by 500."
Souza: 3700
"You seem to be preparing to wipe me out in one go, yet you forgot Depth Amulet is still around," says Rex before looking at the floating gem.
"It's not to be worried about. Activate Saber Slash!" All three swordsmen raise their swords up high. "For each X-Saber I control I can destroy one face up card. I'll slaughter the Black Highlander, Depth Amulet and Goldd!"
"What?!" All three swing at the appropriate targets. "Trap card open; Dark Deal!" The sword beams change their targets. "At the cost of 1000 life points, when my opponent uses a normal spell card I can change its effect to make me discard a random card."
Rex: 7000
The beams slash one card in Rex's hand. "The card chosen was Latinum, Exarch of the Dark World." The Exarch rises from the grave and shadows Black Highlander. "When he's discarded by an opponent's card effect I can special summon him, and a Fiend type on my field gains 500 attack."
Latinum stands beside Black Highlander while a shaded blue. 1500/2400
Black Highlander: 3300
"Fine then...I'll release Fulhelmknight to Advance Summon Swordmaster Commander Gottoms!" Gottoms walks onto the field, his armor reverting to a less powerful form. 2100/1600 "My power allows me to increase the power of all Saber monsters on the field by 400."
Souza: 4100
Faultroll: 3400
"Before beginning my Battle Phase I'll use Caliburn's effect to increase my life by 500." Souza raises the sword high in the air, and Gottoms' life rises.
Gottoms: 8500
"I will now attack Morphin Jar!" The sword master slashes at the Morphin Jar.
"I'll use Depth Amulet to discard a card to the graveyard!" Rex sends Dark World Grimoire to the graveyard. This forms a barrier around the jar.
"That's one card left. Souza, attack Morphin Jar!" After returning to his field, Souza takes a swing at the jar.
"Depth Amulet will block your attack!" Souza gets blocked once more. "The card I discarded was Grapha, Dragon of Dark World. I'll use his power to destroy your Souza!"
"Foolish...My Body As a Shield!" Upon activation Gottoms takes a blow to the back by the fire breath of a demon dragon. He cries out in pain before falling to his knees. "By paying 1500 life I can protect one of my monsters!"
Gottoms: 7000
'Why would he go through that risk? He knows that I would use Grapha in my deck, so why keep attacking?' Rex looks down at his hand, and gasps. 'Of course! He was just trying to drain my hand!'
"I see you've lost your hand; now I shall activate the quick play spell Double Up Chance!" Gottoms' quick play spell empowers Souza. "When my monster's attack is negated, I can use this card to double that monster's attack power and he can battle again!"
"Ah shit!" Rex curses as Souza's power doubles.
Souza: 8200
"Souza, destroy Morphin Jar!" Gottoms charges in at the jar.
'If that attack connects I'll lose the duel, and my life!' Rex backs away in a panic. He then looks at the one facedown he has left. "I'll open my facedown, Double Cyclone!"
A hurricane rises up and destroys Depth Amulet. "I'll destroy my card to destroy Saber Vault!"
The storm blows away the field, causing Gottoms to block his eyesight from the sand. "Double Up Chance only doubles your monster's power during the Damage Step, so I had time to do that. Souza loses its 700 attack gain along with Faultroll."
Souza: 3400 = 6800
Faultroll: 2800
"This is still enough to send you down on your knees!" Souza laughs before slaying Morphin Jar.
Morphin Jar: 700/600
Souza then comes in at Rex and impales him through the chest. He coughs up blood and collapses to the ground in pain.
Rex: 900
"Faultroll, attack Goldd!" The other monster takes a slash at Goldd, who shatters to pieces. Rex cries out in pain once more feeling the attack.
Rex: 400
"I'll now end my turn. It is time for your turn, if you can still move." Gottoms awaits for Rex to make his move, noticing he's stopped squirming in pain for a while. "Come on, get up. Your friends will die if you can't do anything."
Rex remains motionless. Gottoms then laughs. "How pathetic. I didn't even need to use my Amne card."
The Virus Busters continue across the mountainous region, until eventually they spot a misty landscape. Milla says, "We're here, Mist Valley."
"Finally!" Mira shouts, looking over to Tyson. "Now we can get Tyson some help."
"We just need to reach the Dragon's Ravine; you freed Vajrayana so his tribe should be willing to help us." Milla continues to lead them near the misty valley, aiming for the clear ravine just next door.
Takeshi stops for a moment when he sees a shadow moving. He looks up, goggles over the eyes tight, and grabs Alexianna. "What?"
"We're being watched." Everyone looks up in the direction he is, and sees a birdman descending. This person lands before them, revealed to be the Mist Valley Executor. "Who are you?"
"I am the Mist Valley's Executor," says the bird man, before extending his claws. "And I can tell you're humans."
"We're the Virus Busters, now get out of our way!" threatens Takeshi before he draws a card. The others beside Milla back away hearing the force behind his threat, especially seeing as he didn't pause at all.
'Takeshi?' thinks Alexianna worried.
"Please. You will all be sacrificed for the sake of Amne." He makes a whistling sound and from the skies flock Mist Condors.
"Run!" Hiyori shouts before they all begin to move about to escape the birds.
Milla raises her staff in the air, and time slows down. "Time-Space Wave!" Milla fires a beam of energy at two of the condors, which kills them. "Get to the ravine!"
The Virus Busters head across the valley to the neighboring ravine. Takeshi moves with Sleipnir since Tyson is still out of commission. He says, "Takeshi, get going. You don't need to look after-"
"I do, because your life is important," he responds, speaking slowly to find the right words.
"But yours is too," he responds. Before more could be said they get surrounded by the condors. "Uh oh."
"I'll wipe them away with Black Hole." Takeshi prepares to use the card he drew earlier, but that's when Alexianna comes in. "Alexianna?"
"Dark Valkyria!" She summons a dark angel who releases a wave of dark lightning to zap them. Executor arrives, electricity coursing through his body.
"Allow me to return the favor to you." A duel disk forms on his left arm. All the condors back away as the duel starts, Malinda, Milla and Mira trying to return to the three.
"You're on!" Alexianna activates her duel disk.
"Wait, you can't-"
"I can, and I will!" she retorts before standing in front of Takeshi and Tyson. "I can look after the group as well. Duel!"
"Duel!"
Executor: 8000
Alexianna: 8000
"A higher lifepoint format?" The Dark Lord user looks at her duel disk.
"I summon Mist Valley Windmaster!" A blue four winged peacock lands onto the field. 400/800 "Windmaster's effect activates."
"Effect?" Alexianna watches as the bird releases a wind. "Non, non, non!"
"Windmaster can, once per turn when we each have five or more cards in our hands, discard until we each have four cards." Executor sends a card to the grave.
Alexianna looks at her hand and grins, before discarding two cards. A bird rises up from the grave, this being Mist Valley Baby Roc. 400/600 "The card I discarded was Mist Valley Baby Roc; when he's sent from my hand to the graveyard I can special summon him to the field."
"A Mist Valley deck is full of surprises," comments Hiyori while watching.
"I'll activate the field spell Divine Wind of the Mist Valley." A powerful wind blows by the two, directed from the valley itself. "Now I shall return Windmaster to my hand to special summon Mist Condor!"
Windmaster returns to his hand in place for one of the condors. 1400=1700/400 "This card can be special summoned by returning a Mist Valley monster to my hand, and its atk is fixed to 1700."
"Unfortunately you can't attack on the first turn," says Alexianna as a reminder.
"I'll use Divine Wind's effect to special summon a Wind monster from my deck. Appear, Mist Valley Watcher!" Climbing along the side of the valley wall is a birdman. He adjusts his goggles and climbs up to stand beside his summoner. 1500/1900 "I'll take my defeat at the hands of those two women out on you! I'll set a card and end my turn."
Executor: 2/8000
Alexianna: 4/8000
"Draw!" Alexianna picks up a card from her deck.
"Alexianna, quit now and let me take over!" Takeshi tells her.
"Shut up. I can handle this myself. You don't have to throw your life away for someone you don't know!" Alexianna activates a spell. "I play Hall of Valhalla. With this I can special summon a Fairy from my hand if I have no other monsters on the field. I'll summon Athena!"
The Greek Goddess of Wisdom appears to the field, wielding her trademark javelin and shield. Her beautiful white hair blows in the divine wind. 2600/800. "I'll normal summon Dunames Dark Witch."
A lovely girl with purple hair and mechanical wings appears on the field. 1800/1050 "When a Fairy is summoned on my side of the field I can inflict 600 points of damage to you. Le faire(1), Athena!"
Athena releases a burst of energy that blasts Executor. Takeshi looks in awe. "Wow. She's better than I thought."
Executor: 7400
"I'll then use Athena's second effect; I'll send Dunames to the graveyard to revive Darklord Superbia!" From the grave rises an orange winged angel with a black flower-like skirt. 2900/2400 "Athena's effect activates again, along with Superbia's effect to revive an angel from my graveyard; arise, Archlord Kristya!"
An angel with summer wings rises from the grave. 2800/2300 "That's another 600."
Executor: 6200
"I can take care of myself. I won't drag anyone in the dirt. Superbia, attaquer(2) Mist Valley Watcher!" The jar-like fallen angel releases a burst of energy at Watcher, eradicating him from existence. The Mist Valley member ends up getting hit by the light.
Executor: 4500
"Kristya, attaquer-" Before she could continue thunder claps in the skies. Storm clouds gather overhead as a monster descends before them. It's a green, bird man also known as the Thunder Lord. "Qui est-ce?(3)"
"Raijinki!" Executor backs away in fear.
"You failed to capture those two, and now you're up against the wall against another woman! Disgraceful!" Lightning falls down upon them.
"Lexi!" Takeshi leaps in and grabs Alexianna, pulling her away from the lightning strike.
The ground shatters under the thunder lord's lightning, causing the Virus Busters to fall below. Their screams of help end up being swallowed by the sound of the ravine's rushing water.
