Set Her Free: Yuma's Desperate Play!
The Alliance team was victorious against the Vindice and Yuma and Nagi with the aid of the Vengeance Sisters successfully defeated Bermuda who corrupted his soul with the flames of Night and became the being known as Wraith. Little did Bermuda know, by assimilating himself with the Flame of Night he allowed himself to be devoured by the new fully powered Kotori. As she laughed at the prospect of displaying her new power, Checker Face readies himself to create a new set of Arcobaleno and the death of the of the current Arcobaleno.
Checker Face: Very nice, this batch will be great Arcobaleno
Wonomichi: Sir, you know they are going to attempt to kill you
Checker Face: I am well aware of that fact, but the only one that I want is Yuma, once I get his crown I will have no need for any of the Arcobaleno and this accursed power can vanish into the sky.
Wonomichi: Does that include me sir
Checker Face: Nonsense Wonomichi, you're too reliable to let die
Wonomichi: Thank you sir.
Checker Face: Now, I must go prepare, go and retrieve that insolent brat before she does something stupid.
Wonomichi: Right, but wouldn't that be dangerous.
Checker Face: Quite, but the girl is too insane to actually channel that power wisely. You will be able to finish her with little to no effort, since your power already exceeds that of the Vindice
Wonomichi: What about Yuma sir?
Checker Face: Don't worry about him, knowing his luck he will probably be worn out from fighting his insane girlfriend. Also all of that transformation using Zexal outside of the Parallel Space shouldn't be too good for his health.
Wonomichi: I'm off then wish me luck
Checker Face: Good luck
Wonomichi departed the castle; meanwhile everybody in the alliance team was regaining conscientiousness. Tsuna was the first one to awake along with Yuni, when they looked up they saw a very unhappy Reborn in front of them.
Tsuna: Reborn why are you upset? Did we lose?
Reborn: Oh no reason in particular, but I take it you two grew close in this battle
Yuni: Uncle doesn't be silly our relationship is purely platonic.
Reborn: (Chuckles) Platonic you say? Yuma and Nagi is platonic, hell even Yuma and Kotori is platonic, yours, your relationship isn't platonic or should I bring up the festival
Tsuna: Reborn, shut up
Reborn: What?
Yuni: Tsuna?
Tsuna: I said shut up, I am perfectly capable of protecting Yuni, and I promise you nothing will happen to her, but in reality she doesn't need our protection she can protect herself, but I promise you if she ever calls my name, I will be there no matter what
Reborn: (smiles) Well, it seems my student I have nothing left to teach you as far as being a man that is but if she is hurt in any way you will face my wrath
Tsuna: (smiles widely) Right, Yuni lets go find the others.
A short time later they gathered everyone; unbeknownst to them Ria and Sophie healed all of their injuries. By the time Tsuna and Yuni found everyone, they were already gathered and waiting for them.
Xanxus: You finally made it! What happened Tsuna, you and your girlfriend decided to get cozy?
Yuni: (appeared in front of him) You will take care, not to talk so crassly in front of me or else I will be force to cut your head off.
Xanxus: Little girl get out of my face, you don't have the balls to do that
Squalo: Um, Xanxus she's not someone you should talk down too
Xanxus: Nonsense, I don't care if she's the leader of the Arcobaleno she can go fu-
Squalo:DUUCK!
A screaming slash wished across the top of Xanxus' head and both Xanxus and Squalo were stunned at Yuni's ruthlessness.
Yuni: Next time I won't miss, the only reason I missed is because Yuma would be mad at me if I didn't give a fair chance to fight back, now are we crystal
Xanxus: Ye-Yeah.
Yuni: (smiles) Good.
Meanwhile back at the sight were Wraith was defeated, Yuma found himself locked in a dream, and he was trapped in a field of some sorts, full of flowers and trees a beautiful sight indeed. He called out for Astral but Astral didn't respond, then a shadow walking by him caught his attention. He then saw a normal Kotori running by him grabbing his hand. They frolic in the meadow but as Yuma's Happiness grew suddenly a large shadowy creature whose face contained a mask appeared. When Yuma looked up its mask appeared to be a fusion of Tron's and Checker Face's. Suddenly Kotori's body began burning up inside her.
Kotori: Yuma, I can't take it my heart, my heart hurts so much. Please stop the pain.
Yuma: Kotori I, I don't know what to do
Kotori: Yuma please help me
Kotori began screaming as the mark of Tron's crest appeared on the left side of her body, and the Ouroboros on the right. Suddenly the markings of all the numbers all began to fight within Kotori, until finally they melded together creating the current Kotori appearing before Yuma
Kotori: Yuma, I don't want to
Yuma: Kotori!
Kotori: (Roars)
Kotori charged at Yuma with sword in hand, ready to impale his heart, as Yuma closed his eyes for the impact but no impact came instead a large amount of blood splattered on his face. When Yuma opened his eyes he saw an impaled Nagi instead. When he reached out to her, Kotori drove the sword in deeper and then brought the blade upwards. Nagi fell to the ground reaching for Yuma's hand but when he reached back she was obliterated by a large pillar of fire that descended from the sky.
Yuma: Nagi, Nagi NAGI!
Yuma's hands were shaking as the blood of his friend was dripping of his hands. His red eyes began to shine as he looked up at Kotori with great anger but as he looked up he saw Kotori in the heart of the demon that Yuma found himself confronted with.
Yuma: What are you?
Demon: What am I? I am the desire of Revenge, the Revenge of Tron, the Ambition of Checker Face, the burning revenge of Bermuda and the Doubt of Kotori. In a sense I am a being that feeds on Tragedy and Heartbreak, and this girl is a fabulous host.
Yuma: It's you you're the one making her act this way
Demon: Hahahaha, you human are quick to blame the supernatural, but how do you suppose this gap in her heart was created. Your relationship with that girl certainly didn't help things now did it?
Yuma: Let her go!
Demon: How can I let her go, when she is a part of me (Transforms)
The demon transformed into a corrupted version of Kotori. She looked exactly like the original the only exception was that her eyes were distant.
Demon Kotori: I give her credit though, even though she is currently under my control she is still fighting to come back to you, so all in all a very strong girl but she will be mine soon and then with her power and body I can bring a lot of despair and calamity to you humans
Yuma: I will kill you
Demon Kotori: So scary, how you are going to do that genius, you kill me you kill her.
Yuma: I will find a way, I have hope
Demon Kotori: Hope such a useless concept, no matter when we meet for our duel, I will defeat you and make you my king.
Yuma's deck box began glowing, and suddenly Astral reappeared. Yuma with a smile on his face called out his ace monster, to attack the demon. The demon attacked hope and the two exchanged a powerful offensive. The demon laughed at Hope's attempt to destroy it, and then Hope threw its arm in the air and began absorbing more light and casted down on Yuma and Astral. Overwhelmed by this power all Astral and Yuma began falling to its power. Unable to take the light the demon vanished from Yuma's mind. When Yuma looked up he saw a new version of Hope cloaked in a heavenly light and another door in the universe where he first discovered Zexal
Yuma: Astral, another door
Astral: But I don't have anything to do with this one
The Door: (Woman's voice) Yuma, Yuma
Astral: That voice! It's the same voice that gave me my name, M-mother
The Door: Do not hold back anymore child, unleash your full power all of it only then will this door open for you and you can save the ones you love, cause if you do not then they will both die and you will lose to despair.
Yuma: Astral, we go alone from here then
The Door: NOOO!
Yuma: Huh?
The Door: There is no more go alone, if you go alone then all the members of the alliance team will die, and you will lose to Checker Face's overwhelming power. Listen to me Tsukumo Yuma.
Yuma: Okay.
The Door: Then this is goodbye for now, and my son please make sure you never leave his side, and remember I am so proud of you
Astral: Mother, mother!
Yuma was casted out of his mental state and returned to his original body and dreamscape. He was soon woken up by a worried Nagi. When he opened his eyes, he was happy to be greeted by her warm smile. Caught in the jubilation of seeing her alive, he embraced her tightly. Her face turned cherry red, and her mind was racing with thoughts but she embraced him back.
Nagi: Yu-Yuma, what are you doing?
Yuma: Please, please don't say anything and just stay here with me, just a bit longer
Nagi: O-okay(to herself) He's crying, what happened in that mind of his. Let me take a look
Nagi's eye began to glow, and she placed her hand on Yuma's head, and activate her Dukkha Nirodha. When she activated it she saw all of the experiences Yuma just experienced. She then came to a different door and her Numbers began glowing. She held it up and she heard Astral's mother, saying to her to key is in your hands.
Nagi: My hands
Door: When the time comes unlock his power.
Nagi: Wait, what do you mean by that? Wait!
(back in reality)
Kotori: Well isn't this nice
Nagi: Kotori
Yuma stood up without saying a word and a serious look on his face.
Kotori: So you chose her, and you left me here to suffer
Yuma: Shut up
Kotori: Yuma, you're breaking my heart
Nagi: Yuma what's wrong
Yuma: Kotori, no you demon get out of her head.
Kotori: So you've figured it out, but you have no one else to blame but yourself. Her jealously, anger, and sadness, gave birth to me
Yuma: Along with Tron's crest and Checker's Face Infinitia Seal, the only reason you exist is because of those things
Kotori: Well her emotions give me control and I will control you too, once I beat you in this duel.
Yuma: And if I win, you let her go, also you have to return to rest of the Numbers.
Kotori: Ah then the conditions change, then if you lose, you become mine willingly to do with as I wish, my slave.
Nagi: Yuma, you can't
Yuma: (Clinches fist) I have to save Kotori, I accept
Shark: There you go jumping into the situation that's an obvious trap.
Kaito: Idiot, I believe you also issued a challenge to us as well.
Kotori: I did, I want you all to feel the power of my Darkness Dragons! And devouring you two will serve to be quite delicious. (Licks her lips)
Kaito: Then let's begin, Photon Change!
Yuma and Shark: Duel Disk set, AR Vision Link, D-Gazer Set
Kotori: I guess I should fight you all with my current form. Ahh(sensual voice)
Kotori began twirling as the dragons around her body began glowing, Kotori gained markings on her face surrounding her eyes, her eyes turned gold and her hair red, her outfit incinerated and she was covered in a skintight bodysuit that resembled the consistency of blood. She reached out her arms which also gained an elbow length gloves that were made of fire. Her deck just appeared there and she stood waiting for her opponents.
Shark: Yuma, your girlfriend sure knows how to dress for the occasion. That outfit leaves nothing to the imagination.
Nagi: She is not his girlfriend!
Shark and Kaito both looked at Nagi in shock, Nagi turned her blushed face away in embarrassment, for her outburst. She snuck up behind Yuma and slipped in four cards into his deck before he noticed anything. It appeared like she hugged him before the duel began, this act actually angered the Demon Kotori greatly. She yelled for the start of the duel.
Demon Kotori: 24000
Kaito, Shark, and Yuma: 8000(each)
Demon Kotori: First turn is mine! I activate the continuous Spell Draconic Circle! By paying 1000 lifepoints a player can summon a dragon monster from their hand. I pay 1000 Lifepoints, now I call forth! The first of my Darkness Dragons! Come forth-Darkness Dragon-Lightning Dragon(LV 10/3500/1000). Next I set two cards and end my turn.
Demon Kotori: 23000
Kaito, Shark, and Yuma: 8000 each
Shark: Next turn is mine, Draw! (To himself) Since she has such a high-amount of lifepoints I have to widdle them down as quickly as possible. (looks at his hand) This how I will do it.
Shark Normal Summon "Right-Hand Shark" (1500/1300) in Attack Position. Then, he Special Summons "Left-Hand Shark" (1300/1500) from his hand, also in Attack Position, as he controls a "Right-Hand Shark", he then overlays both monsters to Xyz summon Submersible Carrier Aero Shark (Water/Fish/Rank 3/1900/1400). He then activates the Spell card Siren's Blessing. This card allowed Shark to summon up to four more monsters but Demon Kotori could draw cards equal to the number of monsters he summons.
Demon Kotori: What a gentleman, I'm not beyond charity
Shark: Oh but a Siren's gifts come with a price, a hefty one at that. I summon Rip-Tide Shark x2 (Water/Aqua/Effect/Level 3/2100/0), and Ebbed-flow Shark x2 (Water/Aqua/Effect/LV 3/1900/200)
Shark overlaid those monsters and made two more Submersible Carrier Aero Shark. He then activated the effects of his Aero Sharks and damaged Demon Kotori for each card in her hand. Demon Kotori held her arms up defense as she was bombarded by a barrage of missiles from all three Aero sharks. The explosions drew the attention of the Alliance team, they ran towards the explosions. Demon Kotori took 3200 points of damage for each Aero Shark.
Demon Kotori: 13400
Kaito, Shark and Yuma: 8000 each
Demon Kotori: You asshole, I know what you are planning it won't work.
Kaito: It doesn't have to it's my turn. Draw!
Kaito Normal Summons "Photon Crusher" (2000/0). He equips it with "Photon Spear", which will let it inflict piercing damage and allow it to be treated as two Tributes for the Summon of a monster. Treating it as two monsters, he Tributes it to Special Summon "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. Kaito Sets a card.
Kaito: I end my turn.
Yuma: My turn!
Astral: Yuma we need to summon a monster that's can deal with her other Darkness Dragons as well as this one. Especially that one!
Yuma: I have the perfect guy in mind. First I summon Gagaga Magician in attack mode. Next I activate the effect of Draconic Circle, and pay 1000 lifepoints to summon 1 Dragon monster from my hand. I special summon Ganbara Dragon (Earth/Dragon/Effect/LV5/2100/1800). Next I change the level of Gagaga Magician to five. I overlay these two level five monsters. Now I create the overlay network with these two monsters. Xyz summon! No. 61 Volcasaurus (Fire/Rank 5/2500/1000)!
Demon Kotori: Damn Numbers
Yuma: Now I activate the effect of No.61 Volcasaurus, by detaching one Xyz material I can destroy one monster on your side of the field and inflict damage equal to its attack. Go Magmax!
Demon Kotori: Noooo! AAAHHH!
Demon Kotori: 9900
Kaito: 8000, Shark:8000, Yuma: 7000
Demon Kotori: You are all bastards, you all think that your pitiful attempts at damage are laughable at best. I will show you the true meaning of damage! Draw!
Demon Kotori gave a heartless grin, and then summon a monster called, Dragon Priest (Earth/Dragon/Effect/LV4/0/2200). Next she activated the spell card Dragon's Roost, creating five Dragon Priest's on the field. She then activated the effect of all of her Dragon Priest. By selecting one dragon monster in her graveyard her Priests become the same level as the selected monster, she selected her fallen Darkness Dragon-Lighting Dragon, her monsters were all level 10, and she then treated all the priests as two Xyz materials and opened a massive overlay network.
Demon Kotori: All powerful dragons born of darkness and emotion, come forth to vanquish my enemies and banish them to the deepest regions of hell Xyz Summon! Darkness Dragon-Whirlwind Dragon, Darkness Dragon-Volcanic Dragon, Darkness Dragon-Typhoon Dragon, Darkness Dragon-Landslide Dragon, Darkness Dragon-Indignation Dragon! (Dark/Dragon/Effect/Rank 10/4000/4000)
Yuma: You have to be kidding she summon all of them
Shark: 4000 atk each of them
Kaito: Yuma, is fair to say she a better duelist than you
Yuma: Its fair now. Look at them all
Demon Kotori: I'm going to make you all hurt. I activate the effect of Darkness Dragon-Typhoon Dragon, by removing an Xyz material from this card destroy all cards on your side of the field.
Yuma: Shark, Kaito.
All three of Kotori's opponents shielded themselves from the massive tornado as it swept up everything around it and destroyed it, leaving a pile of rubble in its wake. At that moment they realized that this was not AR vision anymore, but real monsters and power. Demon Kotori raised her hand and all the dragons began charging their attacks.
Demon Kotori: You all lose, Attack my Darkness Dragons attack their lifepoints directly with Elemental Execution!
Yuma: Damn it she's going for Shark and Kaito first, and I don't have anything to protect them
Kaito: As if I need your help! I activate from my hand Galaxy Priestess effect, now by sending her to the grave, I gain 1000 lifepoints for each spell card that was destroyed this turn. Gaaaah!
Demon Kotori: You live, but Shark won't,
Shark: Don't be so cocky, I activate from my graveyard the effect of my Rip-tide Shark, by removing him from my graveyard, I can have one your monsters lose 500 ATK. AAAAAHH!
Demon Kotori: Yuma you will feel the brunt of my power.
Yuma: AAAAAAHHHH!
Astral: Yuma, Shark, and Kaito!
Nagi: Yuma!
Demon Kotori: 9900
Kaito:1000, Shark: 500, Yuma: 4000
Yuma: No, we're okay
Shark: I think I have a couple broken ribs but I good, you Kaito.
Kaito: I'm okay, just a dislocated shoulder, and heavy internal bleeding nothing serious
Nagi: These guys are idiots.
Kaito: Don't forget Yuma isn't the only one here with special power. (Roars, and glows red), I activate Monster Reborn, Be revived Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!
As Kaito controls "Galaxy-Eyes", he activates "Galaxy Expedition", letting him Special Summon "Galaxy Knight" (2800/2000) from his Deck in Attack Position. As he controls a "Galaxy Knight", he can Special Summon another copy (2800/2000) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. He overlays his three Level 8 monsters to Xyz Summon "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" (4500/3000) in Attack Position. As it was Xyz Summoned using "Galaxy-Eyes" as an Overlay Unit, its effect activates, negating the effect of all other face-up monsters.
Kaito: Now I activate the effect of Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon! By detaching and Xyz material from Neo Galaxy-Eyes, and take all of the materials from all of your monsters!
Demon Kotori: NO!
Kaito: His attack is now 9000, and can attack nine times, now is about time I say to you, YOU LOSE! ULTIMATE PHOTON STREAM!
Demon Kotori: AHHHH!
Yuma: We won? Kotori
Shark: Damnit Kaito, didn't hold back, he could have killed the girl.
Demon Kotori: SHE'S STILL MINE!
Kaito: Impossible, how do you still have lifepoints?!
Demon Kotori: My trap card (Blood dripping from her chest), Poison Vial of the Lovers!
Astral: Yuma what's wrong?
Yuma: (shaking).
Nagi: He's going into shock, what did you do?!
Demon Kotori: Hahahaha, simple I made him share my pain, I simply borrowed some of Yuma's Lifepoints to reduce the damage of Kaito's attack.
Demon Kotori: 900
Kaito: 1000 Shark: 500, Yuma: 1
Astral: Borrowed you left him with 1 life point
Demon Kotori: I never said I left him with much, just enough for him to live barely
Nagi: You're not Kotori, she would never hurt him, and you're just a selfish brat.
Demon Kotori: Hold your tongue
Nagi: I can't believe you're the girl he has so much memories of, his heart is warmed by your mere presence and you hurt him this way, you are unforgivable I can't understand why he would ever try to save someone like you
Demon Kotori: Shut up, shut up, this isn't me.
Demon Kotori (demon): This is you, get back in there I'm in control
Kotori: Get out of my head, I need to help Yuma
Demon Kotori: No, he will be yours like I promise, but in death!
Kotori: Let me go! Yuma!
Yuma: Ko-Ko-Kotori
Shark: Damnit Yuma is fading fast, I don't think even his healing factor will save him from that, Draw! I summon I send two cards from my hand to my graveyard to special summon Tricolored Shark(Water/Fish/Effect/LV4/2200/1500) in attack position. Now I activate the effect of Tricolored Shark when this card is special summoned by this effect I can special summon two more monsters whose atk is lower than this card, come forth Right-Hand Shark, Left-Hand Shark.
Demon Kotori: Shark's ace monster?
Shark: I create the overlay network with these three monsters! Xyz Summon! Show yourself, No. 32! The deep sea king of overwhelming powers from the depth! Use those fangs to crush everything in sight! Marine Biting Dragon - Shark Drake! Now attack her
Demon Kotori: I wouldn't do that if I were you, If you reduce my lifepoints to zero, so does Yuma and you will have to explain to poor little Kotori why you let Yuma die.
Shark: Of all the gutless, fine I end my turn.
Yuma: Let her go
Demon Kotori: So you can stand, impressive but you can barely lift yourself let alone play a card, plus I have made you so weak that you can't even fuse your soul with Astral.
Nagi: Yuma I got you
Yuma: Thanks
Nagi: I'll act as your arms!
Yuma and Nagi: Right, Draw! We set two cards face down and end our turn.
Demon Kotori: Disgusting! But this energy, this is the power of the Ouroboros Infinitia! It's wonderful! It seems this girl is really fighting for her freedom. You humans are pathetic, she allowed herself to become possessed by me, I am only a creation of her negative emotions her dark side. I think it's time to draw the curtain on this fight. Draw!
Demon Kotori, looked at her hand and then a malicious dark energy enveloped her body. She then held up a card covered in that very energy. She then yelled the name of the card as she activated.
Demon Kotori: Come forth guardians of the maiden; shower them in your dark energy so they shall receive their punishment. I activate the spell card, Chaotic Fusion!
Kaito: What is that?
Demon Kotori: Your death of course! I fuse together All of my Xyz Darkness Dragons! Fusion Summon! Darkness Dragon-Chaos Dragon (Dark/Dragon/Effect/Fusion/LV12/5000/5000). The Dragons are returned to my extra deck as a result of using this card. But I'm not done next I activate Fusion of Ruin! By sending those same cards to the grave I can summon her second guardian! Swallow the Sun! Fusion Summon! Darkness Dragon-Ruin Dragon (Dark/Dragon/Effect/Fusion/LV12/5000/5000). Finally I activate my final card! Wicked Fusion! Hence I remove all of Darkness Dragons to call forth my ultimate monster! Darkness Dragon-Sinistral Dragon! (Dark/Dragon/Effect/Fusion/LV12/10000/0)!
Kaito: There attack means nothing in front of my Neo-Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon!
Demon Kotori: That would mean something but I think your eyes are foggy take a good look at my Darkness Dragon-Sinistral Dragon!
Kaito: 10000 ATK!
Astral: She could destroy all of them this turn.
Demon Kotori: Goodbye Kaito, Shark! Darkness Dragon-Sinistral Dragon attack Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon! Star Storm Scream!
The massive black Chinese dragon rose into the air and took aim at Kaito, Kaito ordered Neo Galaxy Eyes to counter attack but as the attack rose into the air, Sinistral Dragon launched its attack and it easily overtook the Galaxy's eyes attack, and struck the ground creating a massive explosion and sending Kaito hurling threw the air and several obstacles until he finally rolled over beaten and bloody. Demon Kotori then ordered Ruin to attack Shark, and the same result occurred, the only difference was that Shark Drake was still living. She went to attack Yuma but then Yuma activated his trap card.
Yuma: Trap card open Glimmer of Hope! Nagi care to do the honors
Nagi: My pleasure, the effect of Glimmer Hope allows me to special summon 1 Numbers monster from our deck, equal to the number of monsters special summoned!
Demon Kotori: Stop referring to his deck as ours, it's not yours its Yuma
Astral: There's that dragon's roar again Kotori is fighting back, Yuma get on your feet you're the only one who can get her out.
Nagi: I will give Yuma all the energy he needs. Fourth Truth: Dukkha Nirodha Gamini Patipada. (She grabs Yuma's head and places her forehead on his, as Yuma stared deeply into Nagi's glowing eye)
Demon Kotori: How dare you! Destroy them Chaos!
Yuma began getting feeling back into his body and Kaito and Shark began rising in the background. Suddenly Yuma became cloaked in fire as his powers kept rising! Yuma and Nagi then raised their hands in the air, as light and fire balled in their hands
Yuma: Shine Down! Number 39: Aspiring Emperor Hope!
Nagi: Descend Forth! Numbers 38! Aspiring Empress-Soul!
Demon Kotori: Aspiring Empress-Soul?
Yuma: I activate Hope's effect go Moon Barrier!
Demon Kotori: Noo! It's no use without your guardians you can't defeat me
Nagi: Foul Demon, you have poisoned the lives of these innocents for far too long
Demon Kotori: Am I speaking with Nagi or Airi
Nagi: Both for we are one, I am Yuma's guardian and I will lend him my power! Yuma they are in your deck.
Yuma: What?
Nagi: It's okay you can control them now, I trust you and if you fall I will be there to pick you up
Yuma: Nagi. (Wipes tears from his eyes) Okay Kattobingu! Draw! I send the top ten cards from my deck to the graveyard, to special summon! Come Forth, guardian of fire whose wings have been clipped to grant mankind fire, the primordial, The Fallen ONE! (Dark/Fiend/Effect/LV10/4000/3000),
Kotori: YUMA SAVE ME
Yuma: Kotori, I'm coming, I won't fail this time (roars)
Pillars of fire began rising throughout the ground and three of them were the largest. Tsuna and everybody remarked at the heat that was emitting, meanwhile Checker Face slammed his fist in anger as he yelled at the fact Yuma was awakening.
Checker Face: That bitch was the key, that fucking doll was the one to unlock his true powers. Wonomichi what are you doing?
Wonomichi: I am not interfering in this fight; I'll strike when this is over.
Yuma: O Beautiful Mistress of the elements, I call upon your power, use the flame of the fallen to guide your way from depths of darkness! Descend Forth! The Lost One! (Light/Warrior/Effect/LV10/4500/3500)! Finally within in the core of my being lies the being whose power represents the Infinitia King himself! Rule over all! The Fated One! (Dark/Fiend/Effect/5000/4000)
Demon Kotori: There power means nothing, as long as Chaos and Ruin are on the field Sinistral cannot be destroyed! Their power will feed Sinistral
Yuma: You are so stupid, this is the last time you will hurt Kotori, and I will be rid of you forever! I activate the spell card The blades of Infinitia!
Demon Kotori: What's that?
Yuma: This allows me to equip all three of the monsters you see before you to Hope. I now merge the power of my guardians past and present , Come forth Blade of Inifintia and equip to Hope! Kotori I will set you free. Now I activate the effect of Blade of Infinita, for one turn I can send these monsters to the graveyard and all my monsters gain infinite attack power.
Demon Kotori: What NO!
Yuma: Furthermore I am no longer affected by spells, traps and monster effects. Aspiring Emperor-Hope, Aspiring Empress –Soul! (Looks to Nagi) Shall we
Nagi: My pleasure
Yuma and Nagi: Vanish into the light, the guilty shall be punished! SHINING BIND!
Demon Kotori: NOOOOOOOOO!
The massive beam of light enveloped Kotori, and a veil of darkness that befell her was lifted her darkness dragons reverted to their true form and their true power, the Demon that was formed from all that energy attempted to escape, but awaiting was Kaito and his Galaxy Eyes and Shark with Shark Drake. Then with a resounding roar of the attacks of each monster the demon was destroyed.
Kaito: Yuma take my coat!
Yuma: Why?
Kaito: Simple I don't think Kotori would appreciate her first memory of these people being seeing her in the nude.
Yuma: Oh your right, wait I have to catch her. Kotori.
Yuma jumped up and wrapped her in Kaito's coat, the two landed safely, and Yuma looked up to hear a lot of clapping. Apparently the whole alliance team witnessed the duel and applauded all the members of the duel for a spectacular display in power. Wonomichi attempted to cut the celebration short but the guardians of both Yuma and Kotori prevented him from even moving. Yuma looked down on Kotori who eyes began to part.
Yuma: I finally saved you, and I am so sorry.
Kotori: Shut up and hold me, just hold me Yuma
Yuni: Good for them
Tsuna: Yeah I'm happy for them, it fought so hard to get her back, and now she's back in his arms.
Reborn: Now with this they can return to their own time period.
Nagi: Huh? (To herself) I forgot they have to go. Yuma (tears welled up in her eyes)
Yuma set Kotori down and they began to move through the crowd, Kotori promised to tell everyone the location of Checker Face's lair, but under Reborn's advice they decided to regroup. Later that night, while Kotori was being introduced to everyone, Yuma stepped outside to see a star staring Nagi sitting on the floor.
Yuma: Nagi?
Nagi: Yuma, what's the matter how's Kotori
Yuma: She's fine
Nagi: Then what's wrong?
Yuma: Nothing, I just wanted to thank you properly for saving me back there without you I truly would have been lost
Nagi: (blushes) Stop, I don't Huh (Being hugged)
Yuma: I owe a debt that can never be repaid, you have no idea how special you are to me?
Nagi: Thank you Yuma but what you have done for me, you can call us even. Now get back to Kotori, she's been waiting for her prince for a while now.
Yuma: Don't say it that way, Thank you once again Nagi.
Yuma ran off, but Nagi clutched her chest and then began to narrate.
Nagi: Saying those words gave me the worst pain I have ever felt. Every day with Yuma was like a dream, he was so full of life and he in turn made me realize how beautiful life was. I knew eventually it was going to end by why so soon, why tomorrow? It's selfish of me I know but
Astral: There is no need for you to worry, the memories you shared with Yuma are mutal, and you have left an impression on him deeper than what you think
Nagi: What, where you eavesdropping?
Astral: Of course not, but remember Nagi, you share a bond with Yuma that not even Kotori can claim.
Nagi: (to herself) That makes me feel better why?
Airi: Because you're jealous of her.
Nagi: I am not
Airi: Sure believe what you want to believe, I don't need teenage angst tomorrow is the final battle, so if you can put those emotions on the back burner
Nagi: You're so mean
Airi: Of course I am but am I right
Nagi: Yes
Airi: Besides, who says you can't give Kotori a fair shot
Nagi: (smiles)
Nagi ran back inside the house but meanwhile Checker Face was fuming and ready to initiate his endgame, Checker face made his way to a mysterious dark room, he opened the door and smiled.
Author's Note: Okay we are entering the endgame of the story, Kotori is back, Nagi is confronted with her feelings for Yuma, and Checker Face's plan is coming into play. The next chapter, the alliance team storms the stronghold. So like always enjoy the read and have a nice day. Another note I started school this week but I'm confident I can still get the story out quickly.
