A/N: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF STAR WARS OR YU GI OH 5DS! I ONLY OWN MY OCS AND THAT'S IT!
Chapter 14: Final Fight
The two sides clashed simultaneously, light versus dark. While the duelists prepared their spells, monsters, and traps, Ezra and the crew brought out their arsenal of lightsabers and blasters.
Immediately, Uru struck out with one of its pointed legs in an attempt to spear Dark Light and Stardust Dragon. It was proven to be ineffective as the two dragons easily evaded the arachnid's attack and countered with a swipe of their own sharp claws at its exposed belly. Dancing away from the writhing, shrieking deity, the two dragons fired twin blasts of energy at Uru's face.
With the Nazca god distracted, the dragons split up; Dark Light Dragon flying below Uru and Stardust Dragon flying above Uru. Working together, the dragons blasted weak points on Uru, attempting to weaken the Earthbound Immortal and bring it to the ground, where it would, hopefully, become not so immortal.
And it seemed to be working… Until Uru got tired and angry of this plan.
With a mighty shriek, the spider god struck a spear like leg into straight into the ground, forcing cracks to spread across the forest floor like a spider web. From these cracks, a dark, sinister, purple aura and a noxious, dark fog was emitted. The smog then took the shape of smaller spiders and when the aura touched these empty shells they were animated into tiny spider minions.
Hundreds of tiny spider minions.
The baby spiders quickly scuttled up Uru's legs, onto its body, and then jumping or dropping onto the opposing dragons. Once there, the minions started crawling across their bodies to cause a distraction. On top of the feeling of tiny, evil spiders crawling across their bodies, the little devils started to bite the more vulnerable parts of the dragons and began spinning strong, sticky webs to sling across their mighty bodies, restricting their movement.
With Stardust and Dark Light slowed down, Uru rose up onto four of its legs and began blindly striking the air, knowing that it would eventually hit the two. And it did. Within moments, Dark Light was kicked, for lack of better terms, abruptly to the ground with Stardust soon following. Their crash landing narrowly missed the battling rebels and loyalist. The two lay in pain, attempting to regain their bearings to rejoin the fray before the Spider Nazca could get to them.
It was too little too late.
With a tauntingly slow, predatory crawl, Uru made its way to the felled dragons. When it was above them, the dragons had just managed to begin pushing themselves up, getting at an eyeful of ugly, deadly, and dark spider god.
They flew out of the way. Yusei took a split second to see how his friends were doing and they seemed to be doing fairly well. The Inquisitor seemed to be getting a bit exhausted from the continuing assaults at him, whether it was from a lightsaber or a blaster.
"Oh, Yusei, worried for your new friends?" came Roman's call. Yusei turned to the Dark Signer with a warning glare. "But you had only just met them, one may have been a mere few days ago however. Why care so much for them?"
Uru began to take steps and Yusei immediately used a spell to create a sticky substance as the giant legs collided with the ground, trapping the immortal spider in its lace. But as its legs pressed down, more cracks were created but they weren't like before where a dark aura and tiny spiders were formed, they were real, thick cracks in the flow that seemed like they could fall apart at any moment and the ground along with it.
Yusei looked at his dragons and noticed the pain they were in, along with the spiders still crawling on them. He immediately used Armor Break from his memories and a bright aura surrounded the two dragons before the tiny spiders fell off and evaporated.
"You didn't answer my question, Yusei," Roman called. The Signer glared again. "Why risk your life and care for those you have only just met?"
"Because, unlike you, Roman, I protect my friends and those I have created bonds with," Yusei replied defensively.
Little did he know, Kanan heard that small question-answer between the two. 'Does he really care about us like that?' he thought slightly uneasy.
"Oh, Yusei, you really think you can protect them so?" Roman asked.
They turned as they heard the Inquisitor fall to his knees. Yusei checked with Uru who seemed to be also exhausted and seriously injured. But the Inquisitor had fallen in his final breaths of exhaustion. He looked at Roman with angered eyes.
"I had warned you we should've finished them off when we had the chance," he stated. "But you let them play your game. Well, Roman, I believe it is time I take my leave."
"Do you want to see this world crumble?" Roman questioned. "If you leave, I cannot hold this world alone."
"Then you and the others must die with it," Inquisitor stated before he pressed a button on his wrist and suddenly vanished from the room.
They heard the earth beneath them shake and looked outside to see some trees fall to the ground, turning to ash as it did so. In the distance, Yusei saw a giant crack coming in their direction.
Hera called over her communicator, "Chopper, we need an evac. Now!"
There was a beep from the other line that sounded like a confirmation But with the shaking in place, Uru broke free of the stick grip while the ground beneath it began to crumble apart. Chopper and the ship his friends had come in arrived and the others began to run to it. Stardust grabbed Yusei as the ground began to fall from beneath him while Uru grabbed Roman while holding onto the sides of the room.
"Yusei, let's go!" Ezra called as he and the others boarded the ship.
Suddenly, a grate appeared separating them. Noticing it, Yusei called, "Ezra, you and the others get out of here!"
"No way!" Ezra denied. "We are not leaving here with you!"
"Ezra, listen to him," Kanan stated. "We can't do anything."
"No way, Kanan. He saved my life when I arrived, and now I'm returning the favor," Ezra refused. Meanwhile, Yusei and Stardust had turned back to Roman, Yusei on the back of Stardust again. "Yusei, I'm-" Ezra stopped as Kanan grabbed his arm.
"Ezra, we can't do anything," the Jedi master told him.
"Kanan, you know there is," the Padawan retorted. "I'm not leaving him behind. He didn't ditch me when I first arrived and now I'm not ditching him to leave!" He yanked free of Kanan's grip and called for Xiaolong who was the only one who could fit through the grate bars. The dragon flew over and Ezra jumped against Kanan's warnings. He landed cleanly on the dragon. "Alright, Xiaolong, take me to the grate." It nodded before flying up. Ezra activated his lightsaber and began to cut a giant hole in the grate while Xiaolong moved while needed to get the hole big enough for Yusei and his monsters to move through.
Once the hole was full cut, Ezra, with Xiaolong's help, pushed the cut grate out and it fell into the abyss below.
"Yusei, come on!" Ezra called.
Yusei looked at him and called back his monsters to return to him while Stardust and Dark Light flew towards the opening.
"Yusei, do you truly want to leave?" Roman asked. "Wouldn't you rather join Syoku instead of going back to where you'll have to face the repercussions to your actions and the doubt many people would feel of your story?"
Yusei looked down. "Ezra, you have something more you need to do. And this world won't survive much longer. Get out of here while you can," he told the boy.
"Yusei, you can get through. Come on!" Ezra called. He quickly flew in and grabbed Yusei. "I'm not letting you die! Not after you saved me and kept me safe this entire time!" Yusei was taken aback. Even Syoku hadn't shown such selflessness after arriving on Jelapitgose. It wasn't until… 'Until she asked me to take her life so I could live on and tell the tale,' Yusei thought. 'I promised Syoku I would survive and stop the Creators. I'm not going back on that promise.' He then had Stardust follow Ezra onto the ship just as the ground collapsed on itself.
Once the hatch was shut, Hera took off like a speeding bullet. After she reached outside the atmosphere and just a bit passed the first planet near it, she began to call to make sure everyone is okay. Yusei gave Ezra a thankful grin and thanked him and everyone for their help before walking off to a windowed area.
