Turn 2-13: Salvation

Ryozan continuing to look at her, his eyes without any emotion as he stared, "while there is a field spell active, I use the effect of Earthbound Prisoner Ground Keeper, by banishing a fusion card such as Polymerization I may add another fusion card to my hand." Then he continues looking at Verita, "I choose the card Miracle Synchro Fusion."

Verita nods then she looks to Columbus, both of them become very confused, "I normal summon the Level 2 Tuner Earthbound Prisoner Gravel Watcher." He looks at Verita, "As long as their is a field spell, while this card is on the field my summons may not be negated."

Looking at him, Verita grabs an action card from one of the floating platforms, "Then traitor, show us what this Miracle of your is."

Ryozan ignores the taunt, "I tune my level 2 Gravel Watcher with my two level three Goyo Defenders, let their be Law in Darkness of the Deeper, Synchro summon level 8! Goyo King." He continues, moving his hand in a sweeping motion, "I activate my miracle fusion, by-"

"I use my Herald's effect, your prisoner is no longer on the field, I discard this Herald of Purple-" Verita, declares holding her card ritual up to him, then he interrupts.

"Prepare to scream little girl, by banishing Gravel I may prevent the negation of one of my summons. This miracle of mine will not be stopped, the Law must be laid, as even in Death he stills aids my Conquest, and Vengeance, I banish two Goyo Defenders, to call forth Goyo Emperor!"

Ryozan Looking at Verita, "Goyo Emperor destroy that Herald." The little man on the floating platforms raises up as Verita leaps off her monsters and blows a stream of fire upon the servant of Heaven. It's goes to shield its duelist before it explodes. Ryozan moves his hand to announce something as he is looking at Verita.

She runs forward, then looks at him, "Action Magic Miracle, I prevent my monst-" Her confidence is shaken as she feels like she is running in circles between this man, who then makes no response, as he continues, "If I would destroy you by Battle instead I may take the card instead. Your Miracle does you no good unlike mine."

Jumping off her Herald onto another platform, as Goyo King goes to finish her off, "Action Magic: Great Escape, I end the Battle Phase." The man looks at her making a chuckle, "Why persist? The answer is already known, all your moves countered, all your skill for naught, its all for nothing girl."

"This duel is over."

"THIS DUEL ISN'T OVER! Draw!" Columbus leapt to join his friend, as he took 2000 points of damage, from the intrusion penalty, "A duel is not over until the last card is played and done, no matter someone's skill, no matter how strong, the game depends on who Lady Luck will let win. As there are events and circumstances in duels, and in war, that no one can prepare for."

Looking at her, then to him, "I summon this Stratos, alongside my previously summoned Prisma, adding my Sparkman to my hand-"

"I use my Goyo King effect to tribute Goyo Defender in order to steal your-"

Looking at him, Columbus continues, "I activate Wonder XYZ, I may immediately perform a xyz summon, Heroes come together for a brand new type of HERO! Rank 4! HEROIC CHAMPION EXACILBUR." Then looking at Goyo Emperor, "I detach two materials to double my monsters attack, Exacilbur attack and destroy that Emperor." (4400 - 3300)

Ryozan apathetically announces, "Once Goyo Emperor is destroyed I return the stolen monsters."

Nodding at Columbus, Verita smiles, drawing her card, "Now I summon my Herald of Orange Light. I tune my monsters for a new force, one sent by him, level 8 SYNCHRO SUMMON! Avenging Knight Parsath!" She looks at him, "Parsath attack Goyo King!"

Their opponent looks at her confused, "But my attack-"

"Then I switch your monster to defense using my Knights ability, and from my hand activating Honest, adding your monster's attack to my own." The Angel slices and dices the opposing monster as it then slashes at Ryozan, the sound of his life points hitting zero makes it clear who won the match.

My friends nod at each other and run further into the buildiing. Their dual discs still activated. Verita looks at Columbus, "Where did you learn to Xyz summon?"

Just shrugging he looks at Verita "I had Robert teach me." As they run inside Verita picked up the cards of the two Headmasters, both of the cards were laying down on the ground. Their faces obscured from view.

"I wonder who we are going to fight now."

Columbus stops her in the hallway placing his arm on her shoulder, "Verita if we get out of this I-"

Looking at him, Verita takes his arm off of her, and tells Columbus, "Not if, we will get out of this Columbus. And we will win. For these two, we will win." She holds up the former headmaster. Looking at her tears in his eyes, he responds.

"But it is chaos out here Veri-"

She looks at him, placing her hand on Columbus, "Columbus...be my pillar, we lost so many friends already. I know I get it now, their is some level of chaos out here, but I need this, this belief we'll make it, that we can change our destiny."

"Veri, I-" he composes himself, "you are my pillar. You are strong, you dragged me through our misadventures. But you've always been so determined, and it gives me strength."

Verita then just grips him all the tighter, before responding, "Columbus, the pillar needs somethings to hold up."

Both of them hear a sound, turning to face it, Columbus looking at Verita "what was that?"

They hear it again, it is an insane crackling laughter, sprouting Akaba Reiji over and over again. Along with this laughter out of the door comes one of the last Ryozanpaku Duelist, the runner up junior youth champion of last year walks towards them. His face completely mellow as he activates his duel disc. Verita and Columbus just look at him, their duel discs declaring 'Neo Crossover'. His eyes still a pale white, as Verita begins the duel. She looks at her hand, "I activate Pre-Preparation of Rites."

"Revealing this Divine Cry to add itself and Vene to my hand. Now I normal summon this Manju to add Herald of Perfection to my hand."

Looking at him, she continues "I tribute this Djinn Demolisher of Rituals and an Honest to summon my Vene."

"Activating Vene effect, I reveal my Herald of Perfection, making Manju level 6. Now I use Dawn of the Herald tributing my Manju to summon my Herald." She pauses "Using Vene effect I return Honest to my hand and I banish my Dawn of the Herald to return my Manju to my hand."

Looking at Columbus, Verita leaps onto her bird to searching for an action card, as she declares, "I end my turn with this."

Isao looks at them, "Draw." His voice calm without any emotion, "as long as there is a field spell I may special summon without tribute the Earthbound Prisoner Stone Sweeper. If I control an Earthbound Monster and there is an active Field Spell I may special summon Level 2 Earthbound Prisoner Edge Seeker.

I activate Underworld Resonance Synchro Fusion-"

Verita interrupts Isao "not this time! I activate my Herald effect sending my Honest to grave!"

"So be it." Isao then begins to chuckle, "you only delay your defeat. I perform a synchro summon with my monsters. Earthbound Avarice and laughter, rise Servant in memory of my shattered servant! Synchro summon level 7!"
