Chapter 11: Heaven's Judgment
Alice strolled down the streets of New Domino confidently, Duel Disk at the ready. The air of confidence and skill she gave off dissuaded anyone from daring to challenge her.
She stopped, regarding a tent pitched strangely between two of the district's buildings. New to this world as she may have been, she was pretty sure this wasn't common. The tent's flap twitched open and Arkana stepped out, dressed in a black cloak.
"Do please step inside," he said. "Allow me to show your future, my dear."
"No, thank you," Alice replied. "I choose my own future."
"Oh yes, for you are the Chosen, who dares to balance the power of Avatars with that of Planets," Arkana said somewhat mockingly. Alice's expression hardened.
"How do you know that?" she hissed.
"Why not challenge me, and find out?" he smiled. "After all, we are both competing, are we not?"
"Clever ploy…" she thought. "But he knows…"
"I accept your challenge," she said, activating her Disk. The five angelic wing-blades appeared from it and spun, aligning into the card panel.
Arkana's black Disk activated more normally and they both drew their opening hands.
"Duel!" they declared, a crowd gathering around them.
Alice 8000LP/Arkana 8000LP
"I shall begin," Alice said, drawing a sixth card. "A poor hand… I shall have to improvise."
"I discard the monster, Hecatrice, from my hand to add Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen from my Deck to my hand," she said, placing the monster into her Graveyard as a Spell Card shot from her Deck. "I activate the Continuous Spell Card, Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen."
As she played the card, white light flashed around them and solidified into marble walls of pure, holy white. Then crimson tapestries formed on top of the marble, and a throne formed to their left, flanked by ornate statues of white-robed deities wielding spears. Finally, they stood in an ornate marble shrine.
"I activate the effect of my Hall of the Fallen, as I do not control any monster cards; I can Special Summon a Fairy-Type monster from my hand. Arise, Tethys, Goddess of Light." Light shone from Valhalla's walls, coalescing into a beautiful goddess with long silver-white hair, wearing a glowing white dress adorned with rubies and gold, white angelic wings spreading behind her as she alighted before Alice (2400/1800).
"I conclude this turn with a reversed card." The face-down card appeared.
Alice 8000LP/Arkana 8000LP
"My draw!" Arkana declared, pulling the card from his Deck.
"It's funny," he laughed. "Once, I used the most legendary Spellcaster in this game… now I must use one of the most infamous. Behold, Dark Archetype!" With a hiss, a hideous creature appeared, with large, bulging limbs ending in ragged claws, a strange bronze collar around its neck and its golden eyes glaring out from under a black dome-shaped helmet (1400/400).
"I place two cards face-down and end my turn!" The reversed cards appeared.
Alice 8000LP/Arkana 8000LP
"This is an obvious trap," Alice thought as she drew. Inwardly, she smiled at the card.
"I activate Heaven's Lost Property!" she declared. "By the effect of this card, each of us draws three times and discards twice!" Each of them drew three cards, before she discarded Saint Aura and Holy Revelation, while Arkana discarded Newdoria and Archfiend Soldier. "Because I drew a Fairy-Type monster while I control Tethys, Goddess of Light, I can reveal that monster to draw a card." She flipped around Seraphim Saber and drew again. "I activate the effect again." This time she revealed Zeradias, Herald of Heaven. "Once more." She drew and this time stopped.
"I discard Zeradias, Herald of Heaven from my hand to call upon The Sanctuary in the Sky from my Deck," she said, placing the card into her Graveyard before a card shot from her Deck. "I activate the Field Spell Card, The Sanctuary in the Sky." She placed the card into her Field Slot and light flashed through Valhalla as the shrine's walls dissolved down to marble columns, revealing a vast city of Grecian temples built atop the clouds.
"A Fairy duelist?" Arkana said. "I might have expected it…"
"I summon Seraphim Saber," Alice replied. In a flash of radiance, a more militant angel than Tethys appeared, clad in the golden armor of a Greek hoplite over white flowing robes and wielding a well-forged longsword, shining with holy light as he pointed the blade towards Dark Archetype (1600/1500).
"Talk about pathetic," Arkana scoffed.
"You would do well to listen," the young woman replied. "When Seraphim Saber is summoned, I select either its attack points or its defense points, and then the chosen points increase by 300 for every other Fairy-Type monster I control. I select attack points." Seraphim Saber nodded to Tethys and glowed with energy (1900/1500). "Tethys, destroy that abomination with Surging Light." Tethys raised a hand and a wave of light tore from her palm towards Dark Archetype.
"I activate Zero Gazer!" Arkana countered. "This reduces my Archetype's attack points to zero and lets me draw once!" Dark Archetype glowed with red aura (0/400) a second before the attack struck it, blasting it to atoms before searing into Arkana.
(Arkana 5600LP)
The crowd cheered as the man snarled. "Dark Archetype's effect activates. I select a monster from my Deck with attack points exactly equal to the Battle Damage I just took, like my Inferno Hammer, and then I discard monsters from my hand whose Levels exactly equal my monster's to Special Summon it from the Deck." He discarded Virtue Angel Vach and a terrifying Fiend appeared before him, a massive beast with blood-red skin and a skull for a head, wielding a massive hammer (2400/0).
"I end my turn by playing a reversed card," Alice finished, setting a card face-down.
Alice 8000LP/Arkana 5600LP
"I draw," Arkana sneered. "I activate Mystic Wok and sacrifice my Inferno Hammer to regain Life Points equal to its attack points. With the Deck I'm using, you can never have enough Life Points." Inferno Hammer dissolved into motes of light and he glowed with energy.
(Arkana 8000LP)
"Next, I shall activate my second reversed card, Scourge of the Skies," he continued. "This Trap may only be activated while I have three Dark-Attribute Fiends and one Light-Attribute Fairy in my Graveyard, or visa-versa, and it allows me to place any card I desire on top of my Deck." A card slid from his Deck and he placed it on top.
"He would not dare…" Alice thought.
"I now remove from play three Dark-Attribute Fiends," he pocketed Inferno Hammer, Newdoria and Archfiend Soldier, "and one Light-Attribute Fairy," he pocketed Virtue Angel Vach, "from my Graveyard to summon a terror beyond your belief… a creature of Chaos spawned from the Chaos Emperor Dragon itself…"
Three pillars of shadow and a pillar of light erupted before him, melding in a chaotic dance of the elements that seemed to flow into one formless mass…
"Arise… Sky Scourge Norleras!" Arkana shouted. Alice gave a cry of shock and horror as the chaotic power before him exploded in a hellish blaze, forming into a hideous demonic beast, with black spiny skin in the texture of leather, bony claws for hands, ragged, bat-like wings and a grinning skull for a face. Below the waist, it was nothing more than a cloud of black, toxic smog, and bandages were wrapped around its lower chest and forearms. The Sky Scourge gazed at Alice in deathly silence… (2400/1500)
"You would dare summoned that accursed thing?" she snapped, affronted.
"I'll do more – I activate its effect!" Arkana laughed. "By paying 1000 Life Points, every card on the field and in our hands is sent to the Graveyard!" He glowed with red aura…
(Arkana 7000LP)
Norleras raised its claws to the sky above in deathly silence, before the sky turned black. The world screamed and shattered, the winds howling, the very roof of the world breaking under the power of the Sky Scourge. Finally, Norleras exploded in a blast of chaotic energy that consumed everything…
When it faded, nothing remained. Alice had discarded Holy Sacrifice, Lightwave Tuning and Beckoning Light, and Arkana had lost Nova Summoner, while the whole field had been destroyed, returning them to the New Domino street.
"A foolish play," Alice scorned. "You left yourself with no line of defense."
"I forgot to mention something," Arkana smirked. "Norleras also allows me to draw a card when I do that." He drew a card. "And now I'll activate this Spell, the mighty Dimension Fusion! By paying 2000 Life Points, we each Special Summon as many of our removed from play monsters as possible!" He glowed with red aura again…
(Arkana 5000LP)
Then the world split open, a dimensional fissure ripping open, from which emerged Inferno Hammer (2400/0), a massive golden-armored angel wielding a hammer (2200/1800), a demonic soldier clad in dark purple armor and a dark green cape, wielding a curved saber (1900/1500) and finally a thin, lanky crimson-skinned Fiend clad in spiky black armor and green trousers (1200/800).
"Inferno Hammer, direct attack!" Inferno Hammer surged forwards and slammed its hammer into Alice, who stood firm as light flashed around her form.
(Alice 5600LP)
"Virtue Angel Vach, you next!" Vach rushed past Inferno Hammer and likewise struck Alice, who still stood firm.
(Alice 3400LP)
"Archfiend Soldier, attack her directly!" The soldier charged and slashed its sword across Alice's chest.
(Alice 1500LP)
"Newdoria, attack!" The crimson fiend charged and struck Alice with its bony hands, but she knocked it back with a single blow distastefully.
(Alice 300LP)
"Three-hundred Life Points… why not bring out your Planet? That's the only way you can survive!" Arkana laughed.
"I will not sully my goddess's power upon scum such as you," Alice replied coldly.
"I end my turn."
Alice 300LP/Arkana 5000LP
"I draw," Alice said. "I place a monster face-down in defense position and end my turn." The reversed monster appeared.
Alice 300LP/Arkana 5000LP
"Turtling up already?" Arkana laughed, drawing. "I'll shatter your pathetic shell! Virtue Angel Vach, attack!" The hammer-wielding angel surged forwards and swung its hammer, only to have the blow glance off of the pink and green sprites that appeared before Alice (1700/0).
"You just attacked Gellenduo, which cannot be destroyed as a result of battle," Alice explained. "However, if I take damage, Gellenduo is destroyed."
"I end my turn!" Arkana snarled angrily.
Alice 300LP/Arkana 5000LP
"I draw," Alice said calmly. "I activate the Spell Card, Turning the Tide. I may only activate this when I control less monster cards than you do and my Life Points are lower than yours, and it enables me to draw once for every thousand Life Points you are above me." She drew four times.
"I summon Warrior of Zera in attack position." A simple warrior appeared before her, with dark skin, clad in weathered green armor and wielding a broadsword with a demonic crossguard (1600/1600). "I now activate my second copy of the Field Spell Card, The Sanctuary in the Sky." Light shone around them, forming into the heavenly city that was the Sanctuary.
"No…" Arkana breathed. "You can't!"
"I shall," Alice replied. "Once, there was a wandering warrior, who fought day and night to battle off the darkness within his soul. The legends are different, while some say he succumbed to the shadows and became a terrible demon, others say he reached absolution and so entered paradise, becoming one of the mightiest of angels. I sacrifice Warrior of Zera in order to bring that angel to the world… appear before me, Archlord Zerato!"
Light shone, consuming Zera, who emerged transformed, now clad only in a regal blue kilt, with a muscular form, deep purple skin and shining golden wings. He wore a green helmet upon his head, and a crimson scarf was tied around his lower face and neck. The angel raised a hand and with a thunderclap, a mighty sword formed in his grip, glowing with power (2800/2300).
"And the legends that grant him entry to paradise, also say that when there, he found a wife, a fellow archangel, and that their love granted them both strength with which to smite beings of evil like your Sky Scourge Norleras," Alice said. "With exactly four Fairy-Type monsters in my Graveyard, I Special Summon from my hand Archlord Kristya!"
A beacon of light shone bright beside Zerato, an angelic choir singing from the Sanctuary as another angel emerged from it, this one clad in armor of silver, her skin snow-white, with a skirt of crimson red flowing out around her hips, her wings the same color. Kristya alighted beside Zerato, the two archangels regarding each other with the love Alice had spoken of (2800/2300).
"Because Archlord Kristya was Special Summoned by her own effect, I am allowed to add a Fairy-Type monster from my Graveyard to my hand," Alice said, taking Tethys, Goddess of Light from her Graveyard. "But I now discard this Light-Attribute monster from my hand to activate Archlord Zerato's effect, destroying all monsters you control." She placed Tethys back into the Graveyard and the angel's sword glowed with blinding light before he slashed it in a blazing arc, sending a wave of light across the field which consumed all four of Arkana's monsters, shattering them into shards that faded into the light before it too faded.
"This farce is at an end," Alice declared. "Archlord Zerato, Archlord Kristya, attack him directly and bring this to its end." The two Archlords attacked, Kristya blasting a ray of searing light from her hands to strike the man, before Zerato followed up with a slash from his light-coated blade, Arkana screaming as he was hurled back by their combined strike.
Alice 300LP/Arkana 0LP
"A fool like you is not worthy of my goddesses," Alice said coldly as she turned away, her cards fading away. "Neither are you worthy of the power that chose me. Good day." With that, she departed.
From atop a nearby building, Hyperion looked down.
"It would seem that she will require more pressure before we can capture her Legendary Planet," he mused…

Meanwhile, Ryo was wandering alone. He, Cynthia, Alex and Kellyn had agreed to split up and search for different opponents in the tournament, partly to avoid having to end up facing one another.
He stopped in the centre of New Domino's retail district, in a square filled with top-class shops. Ryo had been in most before, one of the things about having two of the world's greatest duelists as parents was that they had a lot of money to spend on their children.
He sighed softly. Sometimes it seemed that having parents so famous was a bad thing. Other kids had always refused to Duel him because they were scared he'd just use the strongest cards there were and beat them with ease. It had taken him three years to convince kids his age that he wasn't as ruthless in dueling as his parents were, and that he wasn't going to follow them into the use of cards like the Lightsworns and Dark Counterparts.
"Orimoto!" Ryo turned on his heel at the voice, seeing the towering, heavily-built young man wearing a white vest and black jeans, an industrial-size Disk on the man's arm. "So you got into this, huh? I might've known you would, smart alec!"
"It was a random selection," Ryo pointed out. "You'd do well if you remembered that, Kenta."
"I want a rematch, Orimoto!" the man shouted. "You don't humiliate the man in front of his posse!" He activated his Disk, and Ryo repeated the motion with a sigh.
"I'll at least do this tournament a favor by getting rid of you," Ryo said as they drew their opening hands.
"DUEL!"
Ryo 8000LP/Kenta 8000LP
"I'll go first," Ryo said. "I summon Magical Exemplar in attack mode!" In a flash of magical energy, a beautiful pale-skinned woman in an emerald green dress appeared, her long black hair cascading down onto her shoulders and a golden headdress on her head (1700/1400).
"Next I activate the Field Spell Card, Magical Citadel of Endymion." The towers of the citadel formed around them glowing with energy as two Spell Counters appeared beside Magical Exemplar (ME: 2SC). "Whenever a Spell Card is activated, Magical Exemplar gains two Spell Counters. Next I activate the Spell Card, Spell Power Grasp, placing a Spell Counter on any card I choose that can hold one, and I choose my Citadel." A Spell Counter appeared on the Citadel (MCoE: 1SC), then two more appeared beside Magical Exemplar (ME: 4SC) and another appeared on the Citadel (MCoE: 2SC). "Then I take another Spell Power Grasp from my Deck into my hand, but it can't be activated this turn." The card shot from his Deck into his hand.
"I end my turn with a face-down." The reversed card appeared.
Ryo 8000LP/Kenta 8000LP
"My draw!" Kenta shouted, drawing. "I activate the Spell Card, Advancing March, Special Summoning out Goblin Attack Force from my hand!" In a flare of energy, a trio of armored goblins wielding large metal clubs appeared (2300/0).
"Thanks," Ryo said as Spell Counters appeared on Magical Exemplar (ME: 6SC) and the Citadel (MCoE: 3SC).
"Now I'll summon out another Goblin Attack Force!" Another trio of goblins appeared, brandishing their clubs (2300/0).
"I activate Threatening Roar, preventing you from attacking this turn," Ryo sighed as his Trap lifted up and a terrifying roar sounded, making the goblins tremble.
"I end my turn!" Kenta snarled.
Ryo 8000LP/Kenta 8000LP
"I draw," Ryo said. "I activate my second Spell Power Grasp, and I choose to add a Spell Counter to my Citadel again." A Spell Counter appeared on the Citadel (MCoE: 4SC), before more counters appeared on Magical Exemplar (ME: 8SC) and Magical Citadel of Endymion (MCoE: 5SC).
"I now activate Instant Fusion," Ryo continued. "This Spell Card lets me pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon a Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck, like Musician King." He glowed with red aura…
(Ryo 7000LP)
Then with a guitar riff, a bare-chested man in blue jeans appeared, with his hair in a punk rock style and wielding a crimson guitar (1750/1500), before Spell Counters appeared on Magical Exemplar (ME: 10SC) and Magical Citadel of Endymion (MCoE: 6SC). "Finally, to finish this, I summon the Tuner monster, Effect Veiler."
In a flash of light, a cute teenage girl with aqua-blue hair appeared, wearing a short white dress and black leggings, white angelic wings spreading behind her (0/0). "I Tune my Level One Effect Veiler, to my Level Five Musician King, in order to Synchro Summon…!"
Effect Veiler faded into a Synchro Gate that encircled Musician King, who struck up a guitar riff before he split into five glowing stars that aligned within the Gate and connected with a flash of energy…
"Mustered wrath evokes the dread reaper of shadow! The power birthed of the black depths of our hearts, become the dark flames of true fury! Synchro Summon! A vengeful shadow, Tempest Magician!"
From the light of the Synchro Summon stepped the Synchro Monster, a grim black-haired woman resembling Magical Exemplar, but clad in dark blue robes and wielding a scythe with a blade of crystal, several bats hovering around her. She stared at Kenta in grim silence, raising her scythe (2200/1400).
"She's too weak to beat my Goblins!" Kenta laughed.
"She doesn't need to," Ryo replied coldly. "First, she gains a Spell Counter for being summoned," A Spell Counter appeared beside the Synchro Monster (TM: 1SC), "and secondly, I activate her final effect. By removing all the Spell Counters on this field, you take five-hundred damage for each. There are seventeen counters in total, and seventeen times five-hundred is eight-thousand, five-hundred. You lose."
Tempest Magician raised her scythe and all seventeen Spell Counters flew into the blade, melting into it and granting it a fiery crimson glow. In the same deathly silence, the female magician swung the scythe, unleashing a mighty wave of crimson power that surged across the field and crushed right into Kenta's chest, sending him flying back at least ten feet and leaving him lying on his back as Tempest Magician stoically brought her scythe to a position where it bisected her face down the line of her nose, gazing at the fallen foe with the same grim expression…
Ryo 7000LP/Kenta 0LP
Ryo stood with a calm expression as Kenta groaned and sat up, the card images fading away around them.
"Damn you…" the man spat.
"I told everyone at school that time…" Ryo murmured. "I'm not like mom and dad. I'm not ruthless in a Duel… but scum like you make me sick. And because of that, I'm willing to use the full power of my Deck to take people like you down. Maybe someday I'll follow in Aster Phoenix's footsteps, and take on the lessons he gave my dad… about keeping society safe. If the law isn't enforced… then someone has to step up and enforce it. Someday, perhaps I'll be the one enforcing it, and if I take that role… you'd better be ready for more."
"You only beat me 'cause you get all these super-rare cards off your mom and dad," Kenta spat. Ryo's eyes hardened.
"You know… that's something I used to be bothered about. No one would Duel me because they knew who my parents were," Ryo said. "It took three years before they would… and I had to show them something first. My parents didn't buy one card in this Deck… I bought all of them." He removed the Deck from his Disk and fanned it. "Most of these cards are from a Structure Deck, and the rest I bought myself, with money I earned by working hard around my school time. Paper rounds, helping out people I knew who needed help… I saved up money to buy my own cards, rather than just use my parents' money. And for that reason, I have a close bond with this Deck… I worked for every card in it." He put the Deck back. "So you see… these cards aren't from mom and dad… they're my own, fully. But people like you never understand that if you work hard enough, you can achieve your dreams." He turned to walk away. "Keep that in mind…"
From a nearby building, Cyrus watched, much as Hyperion had watched Alice's Duel. "Interesting… one who put heart and soul into building his Deck." He smiled slightly.
"Four shall come from a city reborn,
To face reality lost and reality torn,
One born of fire's burning might,
One who wields Neo Space's light,
One who gave themselves for their friends,
One whose courageous spirit knows no ends,
Saviors with minds so wholly clear,
Their fate shall rid us all of fear."
"It's those four… isn't it?" he murmured. "Kellyn Mikuro, the son of the Chosen of Flame. Cynthia Yuki, wielder of Elemental Hero Neos, the light of Neo Space. Ryo Orimoto, who gave his own free time to gather the cards in his Deck with hard work and commitment, and Alex Emerick, who never gives in to his opponents. They're the four you spoke of…"
In a shimmer of light, the form of a beautiful young woman dressed in a pure white robe appeared beside him, her long brown hair cascading down her back to reach her waist. A white-skinned snake was coiled around her body, its head level with her shoulders.
"I am the Oracle of Delphi, am I not?" she said. "I speak the prophecies of Apollo, and I speak only the truth."
"There was another who claimed to speak only the truth," Cyrus murmured. "Don't repeat his words."
"The Herald of Darkness is no more," the Oracle replied. "New evils have arisen from the pit, as they always do. Our very natures breed the threats to our existence, always it has been so. Mankind and Duel Spirits breed the evils, and then from those worlds step heroes to banish those evils. There is no beginning and no end… the cycle continues for ever and ever."
"Heroes… this time, it's those four," Cyrus murmured. She smiled, gently stroking her snake's head.
"Observant as always, Cyrus Kaito. Inti chose wisely when he chose you."
"Inti is a god," he pointed out. "Gods do not make mistakes." Her eyes deepened with sorrow.
"If only that were true," she murmured softly. "Yet, if gods do not make mistakes, why do the pantheons crumble and decay, forgotten? The gods of Egypt, the Olympians, the Incan deities, the Shinto deities… all are weakened and decaying. What endures?"
"You do," Cyrus pointed out. "So long as mankind stands for justice, the gods can survive. And if we no longer believe… then take faith in Duel Monsters. Some gods have found a way to live on… Alice wields several of the Olympians, and others possess cards representing other Olympians. Maya holds the Incan deities… the gods live on. They always shall…"
