Episode XIV
Save the Spirit World!
Shinji, Luna and Torunka were stared down by Regulus who was growling at them, but Luna noted it's various injures and wounds. "He has fought all this time on his own all this time…" she quietly said as Torunka yelped out. "Say that when we're going to be lunch!"
Shinji remained calm as possible, sure he never stared down lions or anything else, but he did see scarier things like dragons, but everything did depend on this Regulus's help. "We're here to help you, so please, do not attack us Regulus." Shinji said rather calmly before he growled and bent down as if ready to pounce. "Don't you dare toy with me!" He growled in anger.
"Please Regulus, we're here to help save Ancient Fairy Dragon! I made a promise with her!" Luna begged and Regulus growled. "You're here to capture me and misuse her power!" as Torunka spoken rather quickly. "It looks like the conversation isn't exactly on the same subject!"
"Not…the same subject?" Shinji thought as Luna pointed out something. "There's a Cursed Needle on his ankle, look!" She whispered loud enough for us to hear and we looked, indeed there was a Cursed Needle as in Minus mode as Torunka face palmed himself. "What a mess, it's in Minus so what he's been hearing is the total opposite of what we've been saying"
"Foul creatures that defile the Spirit World, I won't allow you to have your own way!" He said very seriously as Luna took a step forward and I wanted to stop her but she spoken. "You got it all wrong, we're not your enemy!" She protested before he went to pounce at her, I immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her away, running as Torunka joined in with Regulus closely behind us. "Can't you do anything Torunka!?" He asked the little Spellcaster desperately.
"I can't cast magic as a child…but if he hears the opposite of what we're saying, maybe if we say the opposite of what he's hearing it may work!" He turned around and Regulus paused, obviously cautious. "I hate your guts, you're a stupid ugly lion and cowardly one too!" He yelled out and Regulus growled and continued after Torunka who had ran behind Luna and Shinji moved in front to protect her.
"Don't expect such flattery will get you out of this!" Regulus growled and Shinji whispered. "Well, that obviously didn't work, we'll have to get that staff off his leg if we are going to get anywhere without him killing us." He said to them before Regulus turned around, he must have heard or sensed something with his instincts.
"Someone's coming…" The lion said and the three took this opportune moment to hide as four monkeys from the town wielded the same Cursed Needle staffs and Regulus asked. "You guys again?" as a Monkey begun to speak. "We're here to finally capture you Regulus, we'll turn you into a Minus before long!" as the declared monkey turned a needle was about to point it at him but another whacked him over the head. "Don't bother you twit! See that Cursed Needle on his leg!? If we hit him with that while it's in Minus, it'll create powerful Plus Energy!" He barked at him as the said monkey sheepishly before Regulus charged through them, the monkeys close behind as Luna, Shinji and Torunka emerged from their hiding place.
"Maybe if we get a staff… we might be able to use the Plus energy and free Regulus from the curse." She noted to herself and quickly followed after the monkeys. "Hey wait, you're crazy!" Torunka called out before Shinji immediately gave chase and the self-proclaimed old wizard sighed. "All the youngsters are… Wait for me!" He cried out and followed suit hurriedly.
A monkey started to complain. "We lost him, you, look that way, we'll go this way!" the leader declared and the monkeys spread out and split up until movement came from a tree further ahead, the monkey who spotted this carefully approached as Luna revealed herself. "Come and catch me, if you can!" She said and started to run and the monkey followed closely behind but Torunka hidden behind the tree and turned a Cursed Needle embedded into a tree and turned the needle, in which the monkey started to fly up and drop his staff in his shock as Shinji caught it.
"That was a smashing success!" Torunka proudly announced and Luna and Shinji nodded. "Let's go and find Regulus then." Shinji suggested and they two nodded and took off.
Regulus was walking across a log bridge. "I must have lost their trail now…" He thought to himself before his eyes narrowed when he turned his head, spotting the three from before, Shinji, Luna and Torunka. "Regulus!" Luna called out to him but all she was given was a growl and Luna taken the staff from Shinji's hands as she turned it sideways and climbed up the log with Shinji and Torunka closely following from behind. "Stay back, come any closer and you shall not be spared!" Regulus seriously said and Luna spoke. "Please, listen to my true voice! I want to save Ancient Fairy Dragon!" She said but Regulus obviously had enough and leapt at them to pounce, Torunka clung to Shinji's leg but in one instant moment, the two staffs, the one Luna held and Regulus's own, connected and white flash occurred but unfortunately, the log bridge collapsed and the four were sent falling into the river.
Luna came up holding Torunka as Shinji was holding onto her. "Luna!" Torunka said, obviously in a scared tone and Luna too was scared, even if she didn't say it and Shinji tried to move holding them. "Damn, this current is too strong!" He thought in desperation, they was nothing he could do as Luna noticed Regulus and brought her up, showing her mark of the Crimson Dragon and Regulus's eyes widened as Torunka looked ahead. "We're heading for a waterfall!" He cried out and indeed the current was going over an edge and by the looks of it, it was quite high and Regulus with his strength obviously stronger than a humans swam to them and bit into Shinji's jacket to get a grasp on the three seeing that the man already held the other two close but unfortunately, they soon fell over the fall, freefalling through the air until Luna turned the needle on the Cursed Staff she managed to keep a hold of, time froze for a few seconds then, the most bizarre thing happened, they were going back upstream until the water was calm enough for Regulus to carry Luna and Torunka out as Shinji brought himself out, thankfully happy he learnt how to swim.
"I thought we were goners!" Torunka panted tiredly as Regulus shook himself dry of the water and turned to look at Luna. "We finally meet, young Signer maiden, I have waited for the moment you would arrive in this world." He said and Luna smiled. "Regulus." She said happily.
"Were you the one who called me into the Spirit World?" Luna asked him and Regulus nodded. "That is correct, Ancient Fairy Dragon has told me all about you and so I sued all my available power while fighting to lead you here, however, I must ask for your forgiveness, I was deceived by that accursed staff to think you were my enemy." He said in an apologizing tone as Torunka crossed his arms and looked away "I thought we were going to be your lunch!" He huffed and Luna stopped him. "Now now, if it wasn't for Regulus here, we'd be down that waterfall." She said and turned to him. "So thank you for protecting us, Regulus." She said politely and Regulus looked to Shinji.
"I do not recall summoning you here. Tell me, who are you? Are you a Signer as well?" He asked him and Shinji spoke. "Honestly, I'm not, I'm just an average human, but I was concerned to what was happening when you brought Luna and I grabbed her hand and next thing I knew, I woke up in the forest with her." He replied and Regulus was pondering on how this came to be before Luna spoke, cutting his train of thought.
"We got to save Ancient Fairy Dragon" She said rather firmly and Regulus nodded. "She is sealed up into that crag you saw by Zeman's curse, however if we infiltrate his castle and beat him, we should be able to break the Minus Curse and free her, so get on my back you three." He said and the three nodded, Torunka taking up front, Luna in middle and Shinji behind in the back and Regulus surprisingly, begun to break in a run despite the weight.
~Fields~
Regulus was continuing his run but paused, seeing blue lightning coming from a direction and skies turning darker and surround the sun before something was forming in front of the sun and after a mere second it was a huge Cursed Needle as the clock piece was turning. "What's happening?" Luna asked Regulus as she observed the landscape, seeing all the trees and plants start to wither away before it was slowly becoming a barren wasteland. "It's turning to nature back to a primordial one." He explained and Luna gasped.
"How terrible, if this continues, there'll be no place for the spirits to return to." She said before Torunka gasped as his headpiece fell further down his head, what's more, his clothes looked baggier as was Luna's and Shinji's. "If this keeps up, we'll become babies and poof! Disappear!" Torunka said worryingly and Regulus nodded. "Then we must make haste while we can still fight!" He declared and rode onwards.
~Zeman's Castle~
The four were hiding behind a few rocks as security did look fairly tight. "Looks like Zeman isn't one for letting his guard down." Shinji duly noted and Regulus nodded. "Indeed, if we charge in without a plan, we'd be most likely caught where we stand." He said and Luna turned to her new companion. "Then…what we will do?" She asked and Regulus stared at there. "There is one way in." He said and started to explain his plan.
~Zeman's castle, Throne Room~
Zeman stared down at one of his subordinates. "Have we caught Regulus yet?" He asked him and the monkey knelt and bowed. "Yes sire." He said and Zeman grinned. "Well done, now we just need to Minus him and then Ancient Fairy Dragon will be next!" He said but the monkey piped up. "Actually sir, we did not capture him, but someone else has for us." He said and Zeman was puzzled. "Who then?" He asked and the monkey continued. "It's the Travelling Magicians and Sorceress sir." He said before the doors opened, revealing Regulus in a cage with Torunka's helmet covering his eyes and Luna wearing a bandana covering her green hair, a scarf to cover up her mouth and a plain old robe with the Minus Staff 's headpiece covered by the same fabric while Shinji merely more a plain grey cape, covering his eyes and the body part remained closed by a string of buttons as all three knelt before Zeman.
"Oh great Lord Zeman, it is truly an honor to meet you." Luna's said in a improvised manly-like voice and Torunka said the same, only stuttering as Zeman spoke. "Raise your heads Magicians." as they three did just so. "So this is Zeman…" Luna thought and heard a familiar voice and turned her head to notice the Minused state of Spirits and recognized Kuribon. "I'll save you all!" She thought until Zeman's voice brought her back to reality.
"You are the Travelling Magicians correct?" He asked and Shinji's voice spoke. "Yes we are, your Kingship, I and this young one." He indicated his head to Torunka. "Are merely but apprentices to the Master who has caught Regulus." He said and Zeman looked at Luna. "Then tell me, how did you capture him when my unit could not?"
"O power to control all spirits...come to rest in my hand, awaken!" Luna chanted before Regulus woken up from his slumber and growled, the monkey's obviously being frightened and Luna continued. "Be quelled!" She commanded and Regulus fell to sleep within seconds as Zeman was impressed. "You control him with ease, Master Magician." He said.
"Yes sir, the Master Magician's spells can control any violent spirit." Torunka said in a little boastful tone and Zeman's eyes narrowed a bit. "I find that highly unlikely." He said Luna responded. "Then shall I direct him towards your soldiers to prove this?" She asked and the monkeys shook their heads wildly and Zeman spoken.
"No, that shouldn't do at all, getting Regulus is enough, now Minus him." He said and waved his hand as the monkeys pointed their staffs at him but Luna protested. "Wait my Lord." She said and Luna continued. "If you attempt to Minus him, the spell, I have cast upon him will be disrupted and will go him to go berserk." She said rather convincingly.
"Then what do you purpose we do then?" Zeman asked her and Luna continued, playing her part quite well. "If I may be so blunt my Lord but one might assume you don't know the proper way to Minus Regulus?"She asked and Zeman was curious.
"What do you mean Master Magician?" he asked and Luna answered. "I am familiar with the fact that Regulus serves Ancient Fairy Dragon correct?" She asked and Zeman nodded. "Of course I know, she is sealed in that crag well and good, but I admit, it's been frustrating that I cannot Minus her completely." He said and Luna saw her chance. "Then allow me to jump straight to the point, if you simultaneously undo the curse and unseal Ancient Fairy dragon, you can then minus both of them, and make them completely your own." She said and Zeman was surprised. "Is there no other way?" He asked and Luna shook her head. "I'm afraid not my Lord, this is the best available option."
Zeman narrowed his eyes firmly and glared at Luna who didn't flinch at this as the staring contest lasted probably no more than a minute or so before Zeman rose from his throne. "Then I shall trust in your words, Master Magician." he said and descending the steps to the screen projection in the middle of the room as Torunka said quietly. "We did it!" but Luna hushed him. "Be quiet!" as Zeman pointed his staff at the screen, the three 'Magicians'stepped forward for a closer look. "Come forth to me! Ancient Fairy Dragon!" as a yellow light shot out and the screen projected where Ancient Fairy Dragon was sealed. "I'll save you, Ancient Fairy Dragon!" Luna thought determinedly
"Magician." Zeman's voice interrupted Luna's thoughts as she stared up at him as she continued. "If I do unseal Ancient Fairy Dragon here and now and Minus both it and Regulus, I shall have the power correct?" He asked her as Luna nodded. "That is correct my Lord." Luna said in a false male tone.
"Because if you are lying, you and your apprentices shall pay dearly." Zeman warned her and Torunka spoke up. "But it is true Lord Zeman and it make her power all yours!" he protested and Zeman gave no words. "Cursed Needle, release Ancient Fairy Dragon!" He commanded.
A Needle suddenly appeared on the pit/screen, and after a second, the screen pans over to the area where Ancient Fairy Dragon is sealed. As this happens, The Needle floating above the crag turns the clock upwards; producing a purple/dark aura on Ancient Fairy Dragons crag, and making Ancient Fairy Dragon regain its color and shape albeit slowly.
"What are you doing? Bring Regulus over here!" Zeman ordered his monkeys and opened the cage over as Luna once again, commanded Regulus to wake and approach them however Torunka was a bit excited and lost his balance and bumped into Luna as his Minus Staff was sideways and he spoke. "Zeman sure is an idiot, we've got him totally suckered!" Torunka then had a scared look on his face when he realized what he just said.
"What was that he said?" He asked them and Luna looked at Torunka "Torunka, quiet…!" she said in a slightly panicked tone but he kept talking. "We're here to rescue Ancient Fairy Dragon, and Zeman hasn't caught on to it, what a nitwit!" He said as a monkey asked. "Why do you have the same staff as we do?"
Luna was about to stand up but she fell over and knocked off their hats, revealing their true appearance. "She's the girl from Schwank!" A monkey said and Torunka sheepishly spoke. "We're busted!" He said in a worried tone.
"Seize them all!" Zeman demanded and the monkeys were gathering around, Minus Staffs pointed at them but Regulus pounced in to grab them and retreat as Zeman spoke. "I'll never unseal Ancient Fairy Dragon again!" and the Cursed Needle was beginning to reseal her as Regulus had quickly asked for Luna's Minus Staff and explained his plan about converted two Minus Staffs together to create Plus Energy and he narrowed the bars of the cage so no-one could get in and charged for Zeman.
The battle between the two monsters was brief but quick as Zeman's and Regulus's staffs collided, creating a white flash of energy, the white monkey soldiers vanishing but also producing fire which was comign for Luna, Torunka and Shinji but Luna's mark glowed before a red sphere covered them to protect them from the flames which died down soon enough.
"Don't think this is over, the Minus Curse will be sent back to Lord Devack!" Zeman declared before he too was destroyed
The room was a complete mess as a A Dark Sage spoke. "Good grief, I managed to finally turn back to normal." He said and Luna asked him one question. "Are you…Torunka?" in which he answered "Yes it's me."
"You were right about being older." Shinji pointed out which caused Torunka to laugh a bit as Regulus called out Luna's name, to which Luna ran over to him
"Glad you're all okay." Luna say in relied but Regulus spoke. "It seems that Zeman has been completely obliterated." He said and Luna's eyes widened. "Really? But where's Ancient Fairy Dragon then?" She asked as Regulus looked around. "I don't see her anywhere."
"The spirits seem to still be in stone though" Shinji said as everyone looked at the stone tablets and Luna was thinking for a few seconds before realizing what Zeman meant as the sky now had a big purple monkey symbol. "That's…!" Luan said in surprise before purple orbs emerged from the tablets and soared upwards into the geoglyph "The Earthbound Immortal is using their souls to awaken!" She said in shock and remained quiet.
"Hang on, Luna, you were meant to duel Devack, so if this glyph is up there…that means…" he trailed off, only two other people were with them on the trip to the control tower as Luna spoke. "Leo's in danger!" She said as a white orb enveloped them and they were soaring towards the sky.
"We're going to be sucked into the geoglyph then this world will be in eternal darkness!" Regulus said and Torunka grunted. "Then…I'll use the last of powers to send you two back and from there, defeat the Immortal!" He said, holding his staff and muttered a magic spell, encasing Shinji and Luna into a sphere and back to the Human World.
A red orb came down from the sky and the light cleared, revealing Shinji and Luan with as Yusei's voice was heard. "Shinji! Luna!" he said in surprise as Luna saw the beaten form of her brother. "Leo! Wake up, say something, Leo!" She asked worryingly as Leo managed to speak. "I… tried my best, even though I got real pretty badly… even though I'm nto a Signer, I wanted to beat this guy badly to become a hero." He managed to say
"Don't say that Leo, you're the best hero I could wish for!" Luan said with eyes freely crying. "The gang's all here then, my Earthbound Immortal shall devour the young Signer." He said as Luna looked at the man, he was tanned and wore Dark Signe robes of yellow outlines. "You must be Devack then, I won't forgive you for hurting the Spirits or harming my brother!" She said as she taken Leo's Duel Disk. "I'll fight you now." She said
"But Luna, I promised to protect you so I should be the one to fight." Leo said and Shinji gave a smile. "Just rest for now Leo, me and Luna will take over here." He said to him and stood behind Luna as her Mark was glowing along with Yusei's/
"I won't lose, I have everyone by my side! Luan declared as Devack laughed. "Allow me to show you a very special card you might know, I activate my Trap, Cursed Prison! With this I can Special Summon 1 Synchro Monster while ignoring Summoning conditions; however I cannot use its effects so rise, Ancient Fairy Dragon in Defense Mode!" (2100/3000) "I shall end my turn there." Devack announced and continued. "How does it feel, to fight against the very Dragon you were meant to have?"
"Hang in there…I'll get you out, Ancient Fairy Dragon!" Luan thought and drawn her card. "I activate Power Tool Dragon's effect! I add oen random equip spell card to my hand and I now play that card, Central Shield!" She declared and Shinji grinned. "Thanks to this card, any battle damage from the equipped monster becomes zero!" He said and Luna nodded. "I set two cards facedown and end my turn!" He declared, setting two face downs.
"It seems you do not wish to harm your Dragon, but my Earthbound Immortal Cusillu can do more than direct attack, I draw and attack that toy dragon!" Devack declared and Luan revealed a facedown. "I activate Limiter Removal, I double Power Tool Dragon's ATK from 2000 to 4000!" She declared as both monsters collided a big explosion occurred creatign smoke but Cusillu still remained.
"You dare defy the will of the gods! By sacrificing one monster on my field, I avoid Cusillu's destruction and halve your lifepoints and the monster I'm sacrificing is none other than your Dragon." As a dark ring encircled Luna and she was about to fall but Shinji caught her.
"You alright?" He asked her and Luna nodded. "Yeah, now the real fight starts here." She said and Devack heard them. "What do you mean?" he asked them and Luna stared at him defiantly. "I knew you were going to send Ancient Fairy Dragon to the Graveyard so I set this for it, I activate the trap, Respect Synchron! You see, when you send a Synchro Monster to the Graveyard through a effect, I can Special Summon that Synchro Monster to my side so…come to my side… Ancient Fairy Dragon!" Luna delcared as her signature monster rose behind her as the two were having a silent conversation and Luna continued. "I send Central Shield to the Graveyard to negate Power Tool Dragon's destruction!" Luna announced.
Devack was visibly shocked and he laughed. "So a true Signer is altogether different! Make your move!" He stated, ending his turn.
"I draw and activate Ancient Fairy Dragon's effect, by destroying 1 face-up Field Spell, I gain 1000 LP!" She said and Shinji smiled. "That's all, thanks to the destruction of Closed Forest, your monkey's attack points return to normal then next up, we'll equip Rocket Pilder to Power Tool Dragon!
"Then I use Power Tool Dragon's effect to add 1 random Equip Spell to my hand and Equip pain to Power to Ancient Fairy Dragon as Power Tool Dragon attacks your Immortal!" Luna stated and Devack was shocked. "Why attack my monster ho clearly has a advantage?"He asked as Cusillu attempted to attack Power Tool Dragon only for it to connect as Luna's LP decreased by 1200 to 400.
"Because of Rocket Pilder's effect, your monster loses attack equal to Power Tool Dragon which is 2000 but Power Tool Dragon won't be destroyed if we send that equip card to the graveyard and then…" he trailed off as Cusillu's attack decreased to 800 as Luna continued "Pain to Power will increase Ancient Fairy Dragon's attack by 800 as that is the amount of damage I taken, so go Ancient Fairy Dragon, Eternal Sunshine!" As light shone brightly, covering everyone's eyes as Cusillu dissolved and Devack's LP hitting 0 with the monkey geoglyph fading in the sky.
"We did it Luna!" Leo cheered as they truned to notice Devack crumbling away into dust. "Forgive me Roman…for I have failed you…" He muttered, coming closer to Luna but Shinji moved her back before Devack fell, becoming dust as the robes were left behind btu strangely enough, Ancient Fairy Dragon and regulus remained on the field.
"Must be the Solid Vision still being active. " Trudge said but to his surprise, Ancient Fiary Dragon spoken. "It's no illusion." Trudge fainted and she continued. "Luna, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and from the Spirits themselves, they have returned back to where they belong." She said as Luna responded. "Thanks but I think some of it should go to Leo, Shinji and Yusei who supported me." He said as the Dragon nodded. "I thank you three for helping her."
"Ancient Fairy dragon, I want to ask for your support to help defeat the Dark Signers, will you help us in our quest?" He asked and the Dragon and Regulus nodded. "but before we fight, I must ask this young man a question." Ancient Fairy Dragon stated and looked to Shinji. "Um me?" He asked confused.
"Yes, Regulus has told me he only summoned Luna forth from this world yet he couldn't have enough power to bring you along, do you have any explanation as to how this is? She asked and Shinji thought for a few seconds. "I have no honest idea, maybe it could have been Luna's Signer Mark or something, I don't know." He honestly said and the Dragon was quiet. "Then I shall take that as your answer,, let it's time." She stated before she and Regulus transformed into cards into Luna's hands as the group headed to the Control Tower and selaing it as it buried itself deep into the ground.
"That's one down." Yusei stated as everyone else nodded, the battle had just begun.
