Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: Star King Chronicles
Arc 1: Black Rose Revival Arc
Episode 14: Sad Story! The Dragon Flaps Its Wings
"I summon Twin Breaker in attack mode!" Jack cried as the warrior appeared from a blue portal. It wore an indigo-colored outfit and held two blades. As soon as it was summoned, Jack ordered it to attack Domingo's monster, Krebons but didn't manage to destroy it due to the jester's special ability which enables the user to prevent the battle by paying 800 of his own life points. "I place a card face-down. Turn end." a face-down card materialized on the field which then faded afterwards. For some unknown reason, Jack and Kiryu felt weak. It was as if their energies are being drained and absorbed. Domingo drew a card, starting his turn.
Twin Breaker: ATK 1600 / DEF 1000 / LV 4
Jack - 3 / 4000
Kiryu - 3 / 4000
Domingo - 3 / 6400
"It seems it's finally taking effect, huh?" stated Domingo, his mask still brimming with darkness. "I didn't bring you to my dimension for nothing. This dimension eats up a person's energy until all of the energy stored in their body are gone. Twenty minutes, that's the time left for both of you." Kiryu and Jack's eyes widened upon hearing what Domingo said. Still struggling, both of them continued the duel with all the energy they have left. "At the end of the duel, Jack Atlas, your mark will be mine."
"What do you want with my mark?" Jack asked, taking a look at the said mark. He noticed that the mark wasn't glowing unlike before whenever he was facing an opponent who can use mystical and mysterious powers. All of Jack's thoughts were cut off by Domingo summoning a monster. He turned his vision from his mark towards the psychic monster. It was Mental Protector. He was a robot-like psychic who was yellow in color and had his ears generating electricity.
Mental Protector: LV 3
"Level 2 Krebons, Level 3 Mental Protector, tuning!" Krebons turned into two stars which then formed into two rings, engulfing Mental Protector. "My flames of hatred inflamed within the abyss of my heart. Become the black raging waves that will overrun this world!" Mental Protector eventually turned into three stars. Flames then appeared in the rings. "Synchro Summon! Appear now, Magical Android!" from the flames, an android emerged. She has brown hair, a teal-colored outfit, and held an advanced shield and staff. "Magical Android, attack!" light emerged from the staff. Using that, Magical Android attacked Twin Breaker.
Magical Android: ATK 2400 / 1700 / LV 5
"Trap card, activate! Change Destiny!" the trap card lifted face-up. It has an image of two cards glowing in yellow outlines. The cards were floating on top of a board containing diamond shapes. "This card negates your monster's attack." Jack stated, a portal appeared before Magical Android's blast. The portal absorbed the attack, saving Jack's monster. "You can then activate one of the following effects: I gain life points equal to the attack of the monster or you take damage equal to half of it."
"I choose to gain the damage." Domingo calmly stated. The portal reappeared, returning the blast it absorbed towards the Masca. The blast hit him but he didn't feel physical impact. "Heh. That damage is worth it to activate this card. Trap card, activate! Mask Equip!" the face-down card lifted face-up. It has an image of the same mask wore by Masked Rider and Zika.
Jack - 3 / 4000
Kiryu - 3 / 4000
Domingo - 3 / 5200
"Mask Equip? I've never seen that card before." thought Kiryu as a mask came out from the trap card. "What is this card?" the mask headed to Magical Android, making the android equip it. A dark aura surrounded her whole body similar to the one engulfing Domingo's mask. Her clothes and weapons changed in color. The once teal-colored ones turned into black.
"Masked Psychic Magical Android!" Domingo stated, both Kiryu and Jack's eyes widened. It was their first time seeing a monster like that. "Mask Equip can only be activated in the battle phase and only if a monster's attack was negated. I can tribute a monster on my field and special summon a Masked monster whose name includes the tributed monster's name. Mask Equip also lets me attack one more time. This is the power of a Masca who have become one with his other part! Attack! Darkness Flash!" instead of the usual light beam coming from her staff, Magical Android fired a dark beam this time around. The beam ended up destroying Twin Breaker.
Masked Psychic Magical Android: ATK 2700 / 2000 / LV 6
Jack - 3 / 3100
Kiryu - 3 / 4000
Domingo - 3 / 5200
"Hahaha....Trap card, activate! Release!" the evil Masca stated, his other face-down card lifted face-up. On the other hand, Jack's D-wheel spun so fast that he couldn't control it. Kiryu went towards him to help. With the two of them busy, Domingo proceeded to his next assault. "This trap card will release Magical Android's inner potential. This is something a Masca does to become a Rasgar. It's time to break your mask, Magical Android." part of the android's mask cracked. Eventually it broke, leaving only the lower part covering her mouth. "Appear now, my loyal servant!"
Masked Psychic Magical Android/Release: ATK 3000 / DEF 2500 / LV 8
"Just like my other trap card, this one lets me attack one more time! Go! Darkness Release!" the android who wore the broken mask created thousands of dark energy souls, sending each of them to Kiryu and Jack. Kiryu was still helping Jack, trying to reach his hand when the dark energy souls went after both of them. His monster, Dragunity - Dux, protected them but ended up getting destroyed. Thus, both duelists were hit by the assault, causing their D-wheels to crash. A huge explosion occured.
Jack - 3 / 3100
Kiryu - 3 / 2500
Domingo - 3 / 5200
"Urgh...!" cried Kiryu, hurt from the explosion and the assault. Domingo pushed the break of his D-wheel and got off it. He went towards the fallen Kiryu and Jack who were still lying on the ground, they were still suffering with immense pain. They tried their best to stand up but they couldn't. Surprisingly, the evil Masca deactivated his Mascara Verdad, his D-wheel, mask and eyes turned back to normal. "What are you trying to pull? We aren't done yet..." Kiryu continued to speak, weakly.
"I wanted to show you something else. Making dimensions and capturing people using it aren't my only abilities. My whole body is a dimension itself. My body is one large dimension composed of the seven dimensions." Domingo stated, he removed his mask. His face was exactly Divine's face. The only difference was that he doesn't have the strands of hair hanging from his forehead to the edge of his face. "Let me show you the first of the seven dimensions. The Dimension of Wrath!" his irises changed in shape. It was as if something was swirling inside.
"What?!" exclaimed both Jack and Kiryu.
"Dimension of Wrath! Form: Darkness!" cried Domingo as flames surrounded the two duelists. The part of the ground where they were located collapsed, making them fall below. Below, there was darkness all over and undead beings. The beings keep on pulling them towards the dark flames. A flaming comet then came, heading towards their direction. They took a direct hit and were injured severely, both of them shouted in pain. "Form: End." the flames and the undead beings all disappeared. It turned out that the ability of the Dimension of Wrath that Domingo used on Jack and Kiryu was just an illusion. The dark flames signified the anger or wrath of Domingo's inner heart.
"Let me see.....you only have fifteen minutes left. Will you be able to survive or not? Eh?" he mocked them. This time, Kiryu lost consciousness while Jack didn't. He struggled but he was able to stand up. To Domingo's surprise, Jack's mark was glowing now. It seemed the true battle is finally here. "I see. Jack Atlas, you will continue the battle. Fourteen minutes and thirty seconds left until your energies will totally diminish."
"Just try if you can. I will beat you for I am the King!" Jack responded, claiming that he can beat Domingo. The evil Masca responded with a smirk.
Outside the dimension Domingo made, Crow and Rin have started their duel. Crow has 2000 life points left while his opponent has 3200. Currently, the Signer has only one monster, that being Black Feather - Arms Wing and a face-down card while the mysterious lady, Rin, has two face-down cards. Crow has one card in his hand left while Rin still has three.
"Magic card, Brain Control!" the spell card materialized on the field, having an image of a brain trying to grasp something. "By paying 800 life points, I can take control of one of your monsters until the end of the turn. I choose Black Feather - Arms Wing!" Arms Wing's eyes blacked out. The brain then appeared and took control of the monster, taking it to Rin's field.
Rin - 2400
Crow - 2000
"It's all right." Crow thought, the image of a card with an image of Black Feather monsters forming a circle flashed right through his mind. Inside the circle, there was an image of an explosion. "If I just activate Black Feather Explosion, she won't be able to attack me. I can activate the card be sending one Black Feather monster card from my hand to the graveyard and sacrificing half of my life points during a direct attack. This card then destroys the attacking monster and lets me special summon the monster I discarded." Crow's mark as well as the outlines on Rin's body glowed brighter.
"You're probably wondering why." stated Rin calmly, looking at the ground. She turned her vision from the ground to Crow. "I am an Envasar. A container who is just less than human. That's why, to prove myself useful.....I, with Master Domingo will----" she continued to speak before Crow cut her off.
"No! No human being in this world is less than human. Just believe in yourself and everybody will accept you for what you are!" cried Crow, cutting Rin off. Suddenly, light flashed before him. He covered his eyes using his right arm to protect it from the brightness. When he opened his eyes, he was floating along with a Rin. Below them were past events that happened in the lady's life.
"See for yourself what kind of pain I felt because of you, the Signer that bears the Dragon Tail mark." she stated, making a cold stare to Crow. "Eight years ago, I was adopted by the lead scientist working on the O.R.B. system, the system that could produce life out of mystical orbs." as she narrated, the images below shifted one by one. Apparently, the person who took her in intended to use her for the experiment. In order for the mystical orb to revert to life, it needs to harness energy and be stored in a vessel for eight whole years.
The scientists obtained eight mystical orbs. Seven of it were the orbs of the Star Beasts while the other one was unknown. It was the very same orb contained by Rin. She was the very first child to be used in that experiment. Later on, seven other children were used by the scientists as vessels for the orbs. But, they were betrayed by all of the children including Rin. One of the seven children was Divine, the leader of the Arcadia Movement. Originally, he didn't have any power but due to the power of the mystical orb, he was gifted by a terrifying power. Something that he recognized as a Psychic power wherein it actually isn't. The power given to him was the power of the Star Beast.
"Together with Divine, we created the Arcadia Movement. But soon, I quitted the organization in order to learn my true being. Four years after the orb was implanted in me, I reached the Nazca Plains with the help of someone. He was called Dr. Fudo." Rin stated. Her saying 'Dr. Fudo' made Crow shocked, his gray eyes widened.
"What?! Yusei's father?" asked Crow, Rin nodded. The Signer was shocked due to disbelief. There was no way Dr. Fudo could have survived the Zero Reverse. How could he appear four years ago? Crow was puzzled with lots of questions. "Why was Dr. Fudo, Yusei's father, alive? He died seventeen years ago." Rin herself was surprised by this question. She didn't know that the late scientist had already died long ago.
"Dr. Fudo died seventeen years ago? But.....but....." she thought, a piece of memory flashed before her mind. She met the same shroudy Yliaster member that Rudger met before. "It couldn't e! Was he tricking me? Was the Signer responsible for my pain at all? Was he.......was Dr. Fudo an illusion?" the Yliaster member had told her that she bears the fifth dragon and that the Signer with the tail mark was the one responsible for her pain. The scenery changed, they were back at the Daedalus bridge now.
"I bear the fifth dragon that you seek, Signer." she said, her eyes faded as if she was possessed.
"What?!" Crow exclaimed, caught off guard.
"I summon X-Saber Airbellum!" from a blue portal, emerged a beast-warrior lion wearing a yellow armor with armored claws. Her voice that time was as if she was being controlled by someone. "Magic card, Premature Burial!" the card materialized on the field. "By paying 800 life points, I can special summon a monster from my graveyard." White lightning coming from the card struck the ground, creating a blackvortex. A lady warrior wearing a red armor appeared from it. She has yellow hair and a mole on the lower right of her mouth. She also wields a long, stretching blade in silver and crimson color. "X-Saber Anaperera!"
X-Saber Airbellum: LV 3
Rin - 1600
Crow - 2000
"Magic card activate, Change Attribute! This card changes Arms Wing's dark attribute to earth! Level 6 Black Feather - Arms Wing, Level 3 X-Saber Airbellum, tuning!" Airbellum turned into three stars which then eventually turned into three rings, engulfing Arms Wing. Arms Wing then turned into six stars and a flash of light was emitted. "Synchro Summon, XX-Saber Gatmuz!" the beast-warrior emerged from the flash of light. His appearance is like a wild bear encaged in a metallic armor. His armor has teal outlines in it. He also wore a cape and held a two-headed sword. "Your trap won't work."
XX-Saber Gatmuz: ATk 3100 / DEF 2600 / LV 9
"What?! How do you know about my trap?" asked Crow, surprised. A silhouette of the fifth dragon appeared before him. The dragon then spoke to him.
"Crow, I know everything. Only you can free me and illuminate my darkness. It is also only you that can help free this girl from her sadness. When the Evil Star King rises, he will try to break me free of this orb. That is the time we'll be needing your help. Both me and this young lady." the fifth dragon told him.
"Wait---!" Crow reached out his hand but the silhouette already faded. Rin's eyes turned to normal as she proceeded her final assault.
"XX-Saber Gatmuz' effect activates! I can tribute one X-Saber monster on my field to remove one random card from your hand." Crow was surprised by what Rin just said. Due to this, he'll ran out of cards in his hand and he won't be able to activate his ace, his trap card. "Attack! XX-Saber Gatmuz! Grotto Blade!" the beast-warrior attacked, slashing Crow. The Signer was severely injured, his clothes were ripped. He was about to fall of the bridge but Rin ordered her monster to help the fallen Signer. Thus, saving him from falling.
Rin - 1600
Crow - 0
"Urgh....urgh...." Crow breathed heavily, lying on the ground. A man of about the age of Crow and Rin suddenly appeared. He was wearing a white buttoned coat, pants, and shoes. Everything was white, even his spiky hair. His eyes were green in color, just like Domingo's.
"Rin-san, it's time to go." he said calmly, he lifted his arm with his palm wide open and created an eye-like portal. Rin, who was also exhausted, turned away from Crow.
"Alright, Apresar. Signer, I'll be...." she said, getting Crow's attention. She clenched her fist, trembling as she did. She didn't even finish her sentence. Finally, both Rin and Apresar entered the portal that the Spirit of Domingo's Soul Card created.
"I will come and save you." said Crow before he fell to unconsciousness.
Meanwhile, in a volcanic cave at the Star Dimension, there was a person observing the whole fight. Both Rin's and Domingo's. Surprisingly, his appearance looked the same as Domingo's. They were similar in everything. He was sitting at a cliff, throwing rocks at the lava while talking to himself. The lava wasn't normal. It was black in color. On the black lava, there were five circles, each one containing an empty container outlined in the shape of the dragon marks.
"It seems you were successful. Good job, Apresar. The time for his revival is drawing near." he stated, Apresar emerged from a portal only centimeters away from Domingo. He was carrying an unconscious Rin. "How is Wrath doing?"
"He's doing fine, Domingo-sama. It won't be too long that he'll obtain the energy of the mark of the Dragon Wings. Although, he went overboard by using the illusionary dimension in your eyes. The Illusionary Dimension, otherwise known as the Dimension of Wrath." Apresar answered Domingo's question, putting Rin down. "What I fear is that if he use the other six--"
"No, he won't." said Domingo, cutting him off. "He does not have the power to activate the other six dimensions and besides, they won't allow him, right?" Apresar nodded in agreement. "After all, Wrath is just a part of of me and my seven dimensions." Just who is Wrath and what are Domingo's seven dimension? What does he mean by Wrath being a part of him and the seven dimensions? Who is the true Domingo and will Jack be able to beat the Domingo he's facing now? Find out in the next Star King Chronicles!

Crimson: Thanks for reading and please review! And, we have a brief explanation for the "Release" monster Domingo used.
Unlike the Power and Booster monsters, Release monsters are not new types of monsters used here. They are just Assault Mode or Buster monsters in Rasgar version. Domingo can use them because he is still a member of Rasgar. Although, their activation processes are different with Assault Modes or Busters. This is because Release monsters have a more specific requirement before you can summon them but Busters are just tribute and special summon
Crimson: That is the end of the explanation. And to everyone who doesn't recognize me, Crimson, the host of this segment, I once appeared before at Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: The Star Saga.
