"Who… What is that?" asked Mina.
"It's Drakonadon; somehow he must've escaped and gotten his hands on the other fragments."
For a few minutes Drakonadon was just floating in the air taking in the fact that he was alive again.
"I'll handle this." said Trudge stepping up. "Drakonadon!"
The demon turned at the sound of his name.
"Good evening… As a duly appointed representative of New Domino City, I order to return post haste to your place of origin, or to the nearest… convenient… place."
"Are you a god?"
"Uh… no."
"Then… DIE!!!" growled the demon lord as a huge stream of fire shot out of his mouth. Yusei and the others ducked just in time to dodge it.
"Trudge, the next time an evil demon asks you if you're a god, you say yes!" said Blitz.
"Give me my brother!" exclaimed Luna.
Drakonadon picked the semi conscious Leo up off the ground.
"You want this pathetic little creature? By all means take him, he's outlived his usefulness to me." he said as he chucked him at Luna.
"Leo… Leo speak to me!"
Leo's didn't look like he knew where he was.
"I'm going to Disney World." he said weakly as his eyes closed.
Trudge rushed over and checked Leo's vital signs.
"He's… out cold."
"Yusei Fudo…" growled Drakonadon "Now that I have truly returned to this world I challenge you to a duel, if you win I shall go home quietly… when you lose… I'll claim your soul for my master…"
"And if I refuse?"
"Then I'll burn this whole city, and the satellite, to the ground… and make no mistake… as the demon king of dragons, it would be all too easy."
"Yusei, I don't think he's giving you much of a choice in the matter." said Crow.
Yusei looked at Akiza.
"Just make sure you win Yusei, I don't want to be a widow before I even become a bride."
"Splendid, but before we begin I think I'll take us to a place more suitable."
Drakonadon snapped his fingers, then next thing Yusei and the others knew they were engulfed in fire, but it instantly died and they found themselves at the duel dome.
"Okay, admit it." said Tank "That was kinda cool."
"Yusei, whatever you do, don't let him summon Aggemoah!"
"Will you relax old man?" said Tanner "Luna beat this guy."
"When Luna fought him he didn't have all five of his fragments and couldn't summon his most powerful monster."
"I'll be careful Yanagi."
"Let the ritual begin." said Drakonadon as a fierce duel disk appeared on his arm.
"Let's duel!"
"Have you noticed, on top of everything it's raining!?!" exclaimed Nervin.
"Well that's about the understatement of the century!" replied Jack trying to make his voice audible over the raging storm winds.
"The first turn is mine… And I think I'll just summon this monster in defense mode."
"In that case it's my turn! I'll place a card face down and summon Speed Warrior!"
(ATK: 900 DEF: 400)
"And on the turn Speed Warrior is summoned his attack points are doubled!"
(ATK: 1800)
"Speed Warrior, attack his face down monster!"
Drakonadon's monster was destroyed, but he didn't react to it in the least.
"When Masked Dragon is destroyed and sent to the graveyard I can take a dragon type monster from my deck with 1500 or fewer attack points and summon it to the field, and I choose… Armed Dragon LV 3!"
(ATK: 1200 DEF: 900)
"And now during my standby phase, it evolves into LV 5!"
(ATK: 2400 DEF: 1700)
"Next I'll activate the spell card Level Up! Now my Armed Dragon evolves to level 7!"
(ATK: 2800 DEF: 1000)
"And I now I'll tribute him to summon Armed Dragon LV 10!"
(ATK: 3000 DEF: 2000)
"Now I'll activate my dragon's special effect, by discarding Cave Dragon from my hand I can destroy every face up monster on your side of the field!"
Yusei's Speed Warrior was shredded.
"Now my dragon will attack you directly!"
(Yusei: 2500)
"Wait a minute… Armed Dragon LV 10 has 3000 attack points, so you should have lost 3000 life points!"
"Normally that would've happened, but I activated my face down Shrink card, which I used to cut your monster's attack points in half."
"Very well… Make your move."
Yusei drew his card.
"Okay… I summon Junk Synchron in attack mode!"
(ATK: 1300 DEF: 500)
"And I'll use his special ability to special summon Speed Warrior from my graveyard!"
(ATK: 900 DEF: 400)
"Next I'll activate the spell card Double Summon, which allows me to summon Nitro Synchron!"
(ATK: 300 DEF: 100)
"Now I'll tune my Junk Synchron to Speed Warrior, to synchro summon Junk Warrior, let's rev it up!"
(ATK: 2300 DEF: 1300)
"Now I'll tune Nitro Synchron to Junk Warrior, to synchro summon Nitro Warrior, let's rev it up one more time!"
(ATK: 2800 DEF: 1800)
"Due to Nitro Synchron's effect I can now draw a card from my deck. And since I used a spell card this turn my Nitro Warrior gains 1000 attack points!"
(ATK: 3800)
"Nitro Warrior, attack his dragon!"
Yusei's Nitro Warrior plowed right through Drakonadon's dragon, but he didn't seem phased by it at all.
"Yusei just destroyed probably one of Drakonadon's best monsters, shouldn't he have flinched or something?" asked Rally.
"One of my best?" laughed Drakonadon "I'm just getting warmed up!"
Drakonadon drew his card.
"I'll place a monster in defense mode."
"In that case, I'll summon Healing Wave Generator!"
(ATK: 800 DEF: 1600)
"And now I'll activate his special effect. Once per turn I can select another monster I control, and then I gain life points equal to that monster's level times 100, and I choose Nitro Warrior!"
(Yusei: 3200)
"Now Nitro Warrior, attack his face down monster!"
Since Drakonadon's monster was being attacked it was forced to reveal itself.
"Oh my gosh, it's Terra!" exclaimed Luna.
(ATK: 2000 DEF: 1500)
Even more surprising was the fact that Terra wasn't destroyed by Nitro Warrior's attack.
"What!?! Your monster has only 1500 defense points, my Nitro Warrior should've destroyed it!" said Yusei.
"Terra Dragon of Earth can't be destroyed in battle, and any damage I would normally take from a battle involving her becomes zero. So sorry." said Drakonadon "And now that it's my turn I'll summon Orpheus Dragon of Darkness in attack mode!"
(ATK: 2000 DEF: 1500)
"When Orpheus is summoned, I'm allowed to draw two cards from my deck."
"That's already two of Drakonadon's servants, three more and he'll be able to summon Aggemoah!"
"Don't worry, I'm about to send one of them to the graveyard, but first I'll activate Healing Wave Generator's effect again and gain another 700 life points."
(Yusei: 3900)
"Next I'll summon Road Synchron!"
(ATK: 1600 DEF: 800)
"Now Nitro Warrior, attack Orpheus!"
Nitro Warrior blasted itself at Orpheus, but when the smoke cleared Drakonadon's life points were untouched, and Orpheus was still on the field.
"What?! Why is your monster still standing?!"
"Oh, guess I forgot to mention that when Terra is on the field her special effect protects not only herself, but her siblings as well."
"This is ridiculous, how is Yusei supposed to beat this guy if he can't get past his monsters?"
"Maybe he can't." said Nervin.
"It's my turn… and I think I'll summon Aeolus Dragon of Air!"
(ATK: 2000 DEF: 1500)
"And as long as Aeolus is on the field, he and his siblings are protected from being destroyed by your trap cards."
"He's already got three of his servants on the field." thought Yusei "Maybe I should prepare a defense."
Yusei looked over the cards in his hand.
"I'll place a card face down and summon Ghost Gardna!"
(ATK: 0 DEF: 1900)
"Now I'll tune my Road Synchron to Ghost Gardna in order to synchro summon Road Warrior! Let's rev it up!"
(ATK: 3000 DEF: 1500)
"Now I'll activate Healing Wave Generator's effect, which let's me gain 100 life points times Road Warrior's level."
(Yusei: 4700)
"Next I'll use Road Warrior's effect, which lets me summon a level 2 or lower machine or warrior type monster from my deck, and choose to summon Quillbolt Hedgehog in defense mode!"
(ATK: 800 DEF: 800)
"Give me your best shot!"
"Be careful what you wish for mortal."
As Drakonadon was about to draw his next card lightening flashed across the sky. When he looked at it smiled and started to laugh.
"I drew it."
"Big deal!" said Jack "Just because you drew it doesn't mean you can summon it."
"He's right. You only have three of your precious servants on the field."
"In that case we'll just have to that… I summon Vulcan Dragon of Fire!"
(ATK: 2000 DEF: 1500)
"When Vulcan is summoned out, you automatically lose 1000 life points!"
(Yusei: 3700)
"Now I'll activate Double Summon, and I'll use it to summon Kaia Dragon of Water!"
(ATK: 2000 DEF: 1500)
"What?! All five of them?!"
"Yes, but that's the least of your worries… I activate the spell card Drakonadon's Medallion of Power!"
"Oh no!!!" exclaimed Yanagi.
All five of Drakonadon's servants transformed into colored beams of light that combined together into a massive ball of dark energy. The rain poured down harder, the wind roared louder, lightening danced all around the arena, and the earth shook violently.
"What's happening?! What is this!?!" exclaimed Trudge.
"Let me put this in words you can understand." said Yanagi "We're on the final boss, out of lives… AND WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!"
"I SUMMON AGGEMOAH THE DESTROYER!!!"
The dark sphere exploded into a giant column of black fire that climbed higher and higher into the stormy night sky, it was both beautiful and horrifying at the same time. It was only a few seconds, but it seemed to go on forever. When it stopped Yusei and the others didn't see anything.
"Is that it?" asked Tank.
"It can't be…" said Akiza "Where's Aggemoah?"
"LOOK! UP IN THE SKY!!!"
"RRRRRREEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!"
