Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC V - The Movie -
Chapter 14: Yuya's Greatest Show - Part 2
Yuya stood with all four dragons behind him, each summoned by aide from his other counterparts. The four dragons looked on at Richter, eyeing them coldly since their arrival. After summoning Starving Venom, Yuya waisted no time in using the ability of his revived Performapal Laughalotta, drawing two extra cards.
"I see you wasted no time in calling your "pets" to help you child. Good. Now I can discipline them all at once." he said "Do not forget that my Faceless Droids can steal the effects of my opponent's monsters." Yuya smiled, surprising him slightly.
"Too bad they won't be sticking around for much longer. Odd-Eyes! Attack Faceless Droid number one!" Yuya called. The dragon roared and fired its energy beam towards the monster. The attack was succesful and Richter groaned, shielding himself from 2000 damage, as doubled by Odd-Eyes.
"And now….Dark Rebellion! It's your turn! Attack Faceless Droid number two!" Yuya ordered. The dragon growled before its razor blades began electrifying and fired a blast of lightning, shattering the second. This dealt another 1000 damage.
"Now Clear Wing! You're up! Attack the third Faceless Droid!" Yuya called. Clear Wing roared before going into a giant twister, charging straight for Richter's field. The third attack hit and Richter took another 1000 damage.
"All right! With that, Richter should be kissing the pavement any second now!" Shingo called. Noboru nodded.
"All right Starving Venom! Attack Richter direc….!" Yuya shouted, stopped when he heard Richter laughing through the smoke stirred up from the destruction of his monsters. With the smoke completely cleared, Richter's life points had somehow taken a massive jump skywards. He had regained 4000 life points.
YUYA & YUZU: 4700
RICHTER: 10,000
Everyone was in complete shock at the sudden leap his points had taken.
"W-Wait a second! He was supposed to LOSE life points! How did he get higher?!" Sora asked. Richter chuckled.
"Sorry to say it….but I was NOT about to go down that easily. When your dragons attacked my Faceless Droids, you activated the effect of my set card. And that card's name was Tribute to the Gods. Whenever I would take battle damage this turn, it instead INCREASES my life points by that amount. And all I had to do was send five cards from the top of my deck to the graveyard." he said. Yuya groaned.
"Starving Venom! Attack Richter directly!" Yuya called. The dragon growled before firing a barrage of laser blasts from the orbs sprawled about, striking down 2800 life points.
YUYA & YUZU: 4700
RICHTER: 7200
"I place two cards face-down and end my turn!" Yuya called, slapping two more cards on the field. Yuzu began her turn and drew from her hand. Because of how the field was now, she could not summon a new monster. She looked on at the dragons.
"Yuya? I don't know if your dragons will listen to me. Remember….they fear Ray because she was the one that separated them when they became part of Zarc." she said. Yuya glanced to her.
"No. I don't think they'll mind. Over the last three years, I've really bonded to these cards and helped them to see you no more as a threat, but as an ally. Just try." he explained. Yuzu nodded.
"O-Okay." she replied before turning back to the field.
"Odd-Eyes! Attack Richter directly!" she shouted. Odd-Eyes growled before opening its jaws, firing a massive beam towards him.
"H-Hey! It worked!" she laughed. Richter grinned.
"As if I shall allow that! From my graveyard, I banish one of the cards I sent to activate my trap card! Begone Space-Time Warlock!" he ordered. A card emerged from his graveyard before he pulled it out, causing it to evaporate.
"Not only does my Space-Time Warlock end this battle phase, but I can draw a card for EVERY special summoned monster on the field! Since you have gladly filled up your field, I now draw FIVE cards!" he shouted, drawing an entirely new hand. Yuzu groaned.
"Drat!" she thought. Taking a hefty sigh, she placed a card face-down and ended her turn. Richter grinned as he drew from his deck. Looking at the draw, his grin turned more sinister.
"Excellent. The time to show my TRUE power has come at last, children! Behold the cards that dominate all who dare defy me!" he called. Reiji gasped.
"Yuya! Yuzu! Look out! He's about to summon one of the monsters he used against me!" he called. The two gasped as Richter chuckled.
"Now…from my Extra Deck, I banish one Synchro monster….in order to summon the FIRST of my all-powerful titans!" he called. A card emerged itself from his Extra Deck, revealed to be Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, a card he took from Jack upon his defeat. Watching his card be removed, Jack silently groaned.
"Heed my call, O Deity of the Original Dimension! I sacrifice this all powerful beast to summon you! Appear to do my bidding! Come forth….Synchronizon, Heart of the White Dimension!" Richter exclaimed. Suddenly, the ground around him began to shake violently, causing shifts in the plates of earth.
"W-What's going on?!" Henrietta gasped. While everyone maintained their balance, the ground before Richter suddenly burst open as a clear white arm emerged. It rose skyward before bearing its fingers deep into the ground. A body soon emerged as a colossal being, appearing the same as a transcendent white ghost with glowing gold eyes, formed. It let out a strange, echoing cry that shook the sky.
"What IS that thing?!" Yuya and Yugo shouted. Richter laughed as he casted his arm.
"Behold one of the three most powerful cards at my disposal! This card represents the very HEART of your so-called "Synchro Dimension" and is the energy source to spawn the likes of your weak Synchro monsters! When he appears on the field, his attack points become the same as the monster I banished!" Richter called. The giant looked on at Yuya's field, bearing down a 3000 attack point stat.
"And now, bear witness to its special ability! Synchronizon! Attack Clear Wing!" he shouted. The giant groaned loudly before it rose its colossal hand and it lunged out for Clear Wing.
"Not so fast! Gumgumouton's ability…!" Yuya shouted. But before he could use it, Clear Wing was grabbed by the giant. In the process, both of Yuya's Pendulum cards were shattered.
"W-What?! How?!" Yuya shouted. Richter chuckled, showing a card in his hand.
"What card is that?" Yuzu asked.
"It is my God's Ragnarok spell! While I control a monster such as Synchronizon, I can automatically destroy two cards on the field." he said. Yuya gasped.
"Now my giant! CRUSH Clear Wing!" he ordered. Holding Clear Wing in its giant hands, the beast roared before the hand tightened, shattering it. The massive outlash of energy dealt 500 damage to Yuya. But the minute Clear Wing was destroyed, Yuya felt a massive pain rush through him. At the same time, Yugo let out a loud agonizing scream.
"D-DAGH!" he yelled, clutching his chest. Yuzu gasped.
"Yuya!" she cried. Richter laughed.
"When a Synchro monster attacked by my giant is destroyed, this colossal giant banishes the destroyed target AND gains its attack points as its own!" he called. The giant let out a loud moan, growing to 5500 attack. But all eyes were on Yuya, clutching his shirt.
"Yuya! What's wrong?!" Reiji asked. Yuya groaned, opening his eyes. His other selves all formed themselves around him in his mind. But when Yuya saw them, he did not see Yugo.
YUYA: Wait! Wh-What happened to Yugo?!
YUTO: I-I don't know! One moment he was here, but when Clear Wing was destroyed by that THING, he….
YURI: You don't supposed he was banished too when his dragon disappeared?
YUYA: No…..No! That can't be right! Yugo? YUGO! Answer me!
Richter continued to laugh as everyone looked on at Yuya.
"This is bad. With Clear Wing gone, how is Yuya supposed to beat Richter now?" Shingo asked. Noboru turned towards him, telling him not to lose hope just yet. At the same time, Reiji turned to his father.
"Father…what is wrong with Yuya?" he asked.
"Judging from the reaction he showed when the dragon was destroyed, I'd say that monster took away more than that beast's soul. He may still be here…but I do not feel the same "energy" from Yuya anymore." he said. Everyone looked back to the duel as Yuya rose back to his feet.
"Yuya…?" Yuzu asked.
"I-I'm okay Yuzu. Don't worry." he said. Still looking concerned, Yuzu nodded. Yuya's eyes then looked back to Richter.
"You may have taken Clear Wing from me, but my dragons and I will NOT let his sacrifice be in vein! I activate my trap card! Dimensional Soul! Since a monster summoned from my Extra Deck has left the field, I can use this card's power to summon a NEW monster to take his place! Since it was a Synchro monster, I can summon a Tuner from my deck! And the one I pick…is Odd-Eyes Synchron!" he called. In a sudden burst of light, Yuya's tuner monster appeared in the same zone as Clear Wing. What followed was the effect of Laughalotta, allowing him to draw two more cards.
"Hmph. Hope you do not have plans for that Tuner…..for while my giant remains in play, you are FORBIDDEN to Synchro Summon anymore!" he called. Yuya and the others gasped.
"W-What?" Yuya gasped. Jack groaned.
"This was the same move the old timer pulled on me back on the highway. Without my Synchro cards, I was powerless…." he thought. Richter laughed before placing two cards face-down. Yuya began his turn and drew from his deck.
"I tribute Odd-Eyes Synchron AND Performapal Laughalotta!" he shouted "And with that….I bring out Xiangke Magician!" In a flash, his spellcaster arrived on the field.
"Now I use its special ability! Since your Synchronizon monster is a LIGHT attribute monster, I use Xiangke Magician to nullify its power for this turn!" Yuya called. Xiangke's shield began to glow before a beam was fired at Synchronizon, wiping out its attack points and reduced them to 0.
"Go now Odd-Eyes! Attack!" Yuya ordered. But Richter laughed.
"Trap card activate! God's Aura! With this, your Xiangke Magician is NEGATED!" he called. Yuya gasped as Xiange was struck by a blast of lightning, losing its hold on Synchronizon. The giant returned to 5500 in time to smash Odd-Eyes to pieces. The backlash dealt
"Odd-Eyes! No!" Yuya yelled.
YUYA & YUZU: 1200
RICHTER: 4700
As the smoke cleared, Yuya was thrown back from the explosion. He laid on his back in the dirt.
"Yuya!" Little Z cried. Richter let out a malevolent laugh.
"Foolish boy! If you thought it was THIS easy to topple a god's power, you are mistaken! Now I have taken away TWO of your dragons AND the ability to call back your friend, Odd-Eyes. What will you do now?" he asked. Remaining silent, all eyes were on Yuya as he quickly hopped back onto his feet.
"I may not have the power to Pendulum Summon now, but that doesn't mean Odd-Eyes is gone! I activate Pendulum Reborn!" he called. A strange device appeared on Yuya's field as the gear around it began to crank backwards, rewinding time far enough to bring Odd-Eyes back on the field. Richter groaned.
"Okay Yuzu! You're up!" Yuya called. Yuzu nodded, making her draw. The card she drew brought a smile to her face.
"Yes! It's here!" she thought. Examining her hand, she took two cards.
"Richter!" she shouted. Richter seemed suddenly surprised as he and Yuya turned to her.
"You've talked about your plans to destroy Zarc's reincarnated form, take the dragon cards and wipe humanity clean…..BUT you've been ignoring another important threat to your plans! And it's right here….given to me by my original self! Ray Akaba, this is for you….and for the likes of Serena, Rin AND Ruri!" Yuzu cried. Everyone gasped.
"W-What is she talking about?" Shun asked. Everyone gasped again when the silhouettes of Serena, Rin and Ruri appeared besides her with Ray's soul floating behind them.
"I activate the spell card Natural Energy Convergence!" she shouted. Leo gasped.
"Natural Energy….Convergence?!" he thought. From her hand, two other cards rose along with two additional cards, leaving her deck. The cards were the four energy cards meant to combat the power of the dragons.
"W-What….What do you plan to do with those?!" Richter asked. Yuzu grinned as did Ray and the others.
"We sacrifice En Flowers, En Moon, En Winds AND En Birds!" the girls called in unison. As the four cards disappeared, they took the form of a spiraling energy wave. It took the shape of a snake like beam of light that had flower petals, feathers and glistening moonlight surrounding it.
"The nature cards…..they're merging their energy together!" Leo gasped. All eyes were on Yuzu's creation in progress as, behind Richter, the light somehow brought about the awakening of the unconscious Reira. With eyes slowly opening,
"Hmngh…..huh? R-Ray….?" Reira muttered. As the energy began to blend together, it gave off a brilliant flash. Everyone looked away for a moment before the light began to fade. What now appeared was a beautiful, crystal blue colored snake dragon that fanned out large feather coated wings. Four crystals emerged in a ring around its neck while the girls' bracelets appeared as charms wrapped around the tip of its tail. Everyone was speechless at the beautiful creature just spawned.
"Another dragon…?" Leo thought.
"So pretty…." Reira said. Yuya remained in awe until he looked again to Yuzu.
"Yuzu…." he muttered. Richter's eyes remained in total shock, fixated on the new dragon.
"W-What is THAT?!" he asked.
"Behold, the TRUE form of the Natural Energy cards and the REAL SOUL of the Original Dimension and all who dwelled in it! Harmonious Crystal Paradise Dragon!" Yuzu and Ray called. As the other dragons on Yuya's field turned to Paradise Dragon, it let out a beautiful cry, sounding like a harmonic angel. It emitted a strange energy that surrounded them. With this new power up fueling them, Odd-Eyes, Dark Rebellion and Starving Venom all roared together with their voices synchronizing with Paradise Dragon.
