The end is finally near.
Juliet is back to her old self again, and a strong Monster richer.
But one challenge remains, Nash leader of the Dawnguard.
Will the Blades be able to defeat this adversary or will all come to an end? Find that out in the finale of Arc 2.
25: Darkness Falls - Part 5.
Two figures one clad in black and one in white were watching Jack and the others getting out of the portal from a nearby roof, they were quite well hidden. 'So Ebony, for the greater good of things, should we jump in now?' The mysterious woman asked.
'No, we watch for now, our boss made herself clear didn't she?' The man replied.
Jack ran to the church, there were wounded and dead Vampires and Sector Security officers laying in the streets, no Dawnguard members were in sight, Sector Security were trying to help the wounded Vampires and their own wounded men. 'What happened here?' Leo gasped, then his eye fell on Nash who was casually drawing a blade out of Harkon then he cast the Vampire aside. 'Bastard!' Leo howled as he charged at Nash.
'Pathetic, I will simply have to freeze you in time.' Nash said, he snapped his finger a black void appeared Leo he immediately stopped moving.
'What magic is that?' Jack asked to nobody in particular.
'Surprised Jack? Of course you are, the magic of a member of the Psijic Order is far stronger than the magic of ordinary people.'
'Psijic Order?' Jack replied.
'Yes a bunch of very powerful and mysterious people, they ought to control the flow of magic, obviously magic didn't return all that long ago so they still struggle a bit, I proposed to take down those who misuse magic, they voted against, they told me the order will only maintain and not interfere in affairs, that is when I decided to defect, I reinvented the Dawnguard to raise an army, while the rest of the order struggled to gain control over the magic flows I became stronger, they cannot stop me now and neither can you!'
'No, this is a nightmare...' Juliet stammered, Harkon laid on the ground in a puddle of his own blood, he was still breathing but very shallow, Lyla was knocked out as was Serana, Leo was still frozen in time, Akatosh tried some spells but it had no use.
'So Jack.' Nash started: 'I was this close.' He held his thumb and index finger a centimeter from each other: 'But you just had to go and ruin that ritual.' The Dawnguard leader sighted as he took a few steps forward.
'Those friends of yours are annoying, especially those three.' Nash took three Black Soul Gems from his pocket. 'Drake, Michelle and Don, they gave quite the chase, had to lock them up.' He put the gems back in his pocket: 'But it is not too late you know, I can still realize me dreams.'
Jack took position before Juliet. 'Your dreams?' He asked.
'Yes this world is twisted, Vampires and Werewolf among humans, Elven people, Khajiit, Argonian. Skooma flows free the government is oblivious to what is happening! If I had taken control over that ritual I could have used Molag Bal's power to cleanse the world of all the filth!' Nash spat on the ground near Harkon: 'I will reshape the world to my vision, a place where only humans will live! Now Jack, step aside and let me kill these filthy Vampires!'
Jack shook his head. 'I can't, they surrendered I vowed to protect them, besides you're insane, all races have an equal right to be here, those who take the criminal paths will be judged accordingly. The Blades are busy setting up embassies for all races not human and Werewolves and Vampires, I made a deal with blood-banks for free blood that can be distributed among Vampires, biting people will be made illegal and punishable, those who want to become Vampires can go to special clinics where they can be turned into Vampires in a safe and responsible way, we try to control the Skooma network for legal and safe Skooma.'
Nash let out a roar of frustration: 'What if another Volkihar rises? And that will happen!'
'Then we will put him down, I'm planning to increase the Blades and spread them all over the world, preparations for that are already going on, we can work together with the likes of the Dawnguard and the Circle to maintain control.' Jack replied.
Nash started to laugh: 'You will lose control Jack! Well I've made up my mind, I'm gonna kill the Vampires, then the werewolves and finally a genocide on the Mer! Let me start by killing that girlfriend you have there.' Jack stepped in front of Juliet and spread his arms. 'You will have to get through me first.' He growled.
Nash sighted: 'Fine if you are so determined to stand in my way, then by the power bestowed on me by the new world I represent, you aid Vampires a serious crime that is punishable by death.'
At that point both Nash and Jack activated their Duel Disks and D-Gazers. 'AR vision - Link established.' Then Juliet stepped next to Jack. 'Jack, let me fight, I feel fine, besides he threatens Vampires, they are my people and he killed many of my brethren.' Jack nodded.
'Duel!' All three of them shouted.
(Nash: 8000) - (Juliet: 8000 & Jack: 8000)
'It's my turn.' Nash said as he drew his opening hand. 'I activate Sin World!' He opened his Field Spell slot and placed one of his card in, the sky turned purple as the yellow orb appeared on the sky, blue lines came from out of the orb the lines connected to the buildings.
'Now I send Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Deck to the Graveyard.' Nash retrieved the two cards from his Deck then he discarded them, the twisted versions of Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Blue-Eyes White Dragon dropped down from the yellow orb onto the Field, the dragons let out a terrible roar. (Red-Eyes: 2400 ATK & Blue-Eyes: 3000 ATK) 'Next I Set a card and I end my turn.' Nash stated as a reversed card appeared behind the Sin Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
'Jack, can I go first?' Juliet asked.
'No problem, I take it you have something useful to set up?' Jack replied, Juliet simply nodded.
'Now that I have no Monsters on the Field I can Special Summon Primitive Butterfly!' Before Juliet a man-sized, purple butterfly with six green wings appeared. (1200 ATK)
'Now I Normal Summon Delta Flyer!' Next to her butterfly the small, yellow mechanical dragon appeared. (1500 ATK)
'I Tune my Level three Delta Flyer to my Level five Primitive Butterfly!' Delta Flyer changed into three rings then Primitive Butterfly flew through them. 'Darkness gathering into my very being, the blood of the red dragon coursing through my veins! Synchro Summon! The soul of the demon king reborn! Red Dragon Archfiend!' With a loud roar the demonic dragon crashed on the Field, it moved its head close to Nash then roared, saliva covered Nash's face, the Dawnguard leader wiped his face clean with his hand. (3000 ATK)
'Since I cannot attack this turn yet I'll pass my turn to Jack.'
'Thanks Juliet, you have given me an opportunity.' Jack drew his card. 'I Normal Summon Junk Synchron!' Before him the small, orange robot appeared. (1300 ATK)
'Next I activate Monster Reborn!' Jack shouted, he played the Spell card and Primitive Butterfly appeared next to Junk Synchron.
'I Tune my Level three Junk Synchron to Level five Primitive Butterfly!' Junk Synchron ripped its cord, the engine started to roar as he changed into three rings, then Primitive Butterfly flew through them. 'Gathering stars light the way to my destiny, soul of the ancient dragon reborn! Synchro Summon! Shine, Stardust Dragon!' Stardust Dragon flew over the Field before landing behind Jack, Stardust Dragon and Red Dragon Archfiend looked at each other then nodded, as if they were happy to be on the same team again. (2500 ATK)
'Stardust Dragon attack Sin Red-Eyes Black Dragon! Shooting Sonic!' Jack's dragon unleashed its mighty attack, Sin Red-Eyes fell to the ground and with a final grunt it exploded.
(Nash: 7900) - (Juliet: 8000 & Jack: 8000)
'I'd knew you would do this.' Nash said with a chuckle: 'When a Sin Monster I control is destroyed by Battle, I activate Sin Tune!' He pressed a button on his Duel Disk and his Trap card spun open. 'Now I get to draw two cards.' Nash explained, he took the top two cards from his Deck and added them to his hand.
'Right, so he lured me into his trap.' Jack muttered, he took a card from his hand and placed it into his Duel Disk, the card appeared vertically behind Stardust Dragon. 'I end my turn.'
'Nash grinned a bit, then he started to laugh like a maniac. 'This is what I was waiting for.' The orb in the sky started to glow. 'I use the Effect of Sin World, it adds a random Sin Monster to my hand.' A card flew out the orb, Nash took it. 'I send a Cyber End Dragon from my Extra Deck to my Graveyard and I Special Summon the Sin Cyber End Dragon I just got.' In a flash of light the corrupted version of the mechanical three-headed dragon appeared. (4000 ATK)
'I activate my Spell card Mind Control!' Nash said, the Spell briefly appeared on the Field, two gigantic hands appeared in the sky, strings shot out of them grabbing Stardust Dragon, Jack's dragon was pulled to Nash's side. 'Now Jack your magnificent dragon belongs to me.' The Dawnguard leader grinned. 'Only till the End Phase Nash, but the dragon cannot attack nor can you tribute it.'
Nash chuckled again: 'I merely wanted your dragon under my control because I now can do this.' Nash took an empty card with a white border out of his pocket, slowly the image of Stardust Dragon appeared on the card, then Nash placed the card in his Extra Deck.
'Jack and Juliet looked at each other. 'This can't be good.' Juliet muttered.
'When is it ever?' Jack sighted as a reply.
'Are you ready? Not too late to step aside!' Nash taunted, then he shook his head: 'Just kidding, you're way too late to regret your decision! Now Sin Cyber End Dragon destroy that Red Dragon Archfiend!' The mechanical dragon charged it's three laser beams. 'Go Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!' Jack replied, his Trap card opened and the scarecrow made of scrap metal appeared before Red Dragon Archfiend. 'Pathetic.' Nash spat, the scarecrow caught the first laser beam. 'I activate Mystical Space Typhoon!' Nash roared, he quickly played the card from his hand, the second laser of Sin Cyber End Dragon destroyed the scarecrow then the third beam obliterated the Red Dragon Archfiend.
(Nash: 7900) - (Juliet: 7000 & Jack: 8000)
Juliet let out a soft squeak, Jack looked at his girl the blue wires that that connected the buildings to the yellow orb appeared around Juliet's left foot. 'Ow didn't I mention this?' Nash sneered: 'Those wires around your foot will take your soul when you are completely wrapped by them.' Jack glanced at the Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
'Attack the Vampire directly.' Nash commanded, the corrupted Blue-Eyes charged its attack, the lightning lashed out at Juliet, suddenly Juliet saw a small ripple in the air, a strange feeling filled her body, Jack pushed his friend aside catching the blast, immediately his legs got wrapped in the blue wires, Nash was laughing like crazy. 'So you're that desperate to die!?'
'Jack!' Juliet yelled.
'I'm fine Juliet, nothing I can't handle.' Jack growled.
(Nash: 7900) - (Juliet: 7000 & Jack: 5000)
'I shall end my turn.' Nash grinned, the wires that kept Stardust Dragon in tow disappeared the dragon flew back to Jack.
Juliet quickly drew her card. 'I Set two cards.' She stated, one appeared horizontally on the Field, a vertically placed card appeared behind it. 'Turn end.'
'My turn.' Jack growled he drew his card, added it to his hand then he took a different card. 'I activate Riryoku!' Jack shouted, a line appeared between Stardust Dragon and Sin Cyber End Dragon, the first one became stronger while the latter became weaker. (Stardust: 2500- 4500 ATK, Sin Cyber End Dragon: 4000- 2000 ATK)
'Stardust Dragon attack Sin Cyber End Dragon, Shooting Sonic!' The powerful blast of Stardust Dragon left a hole in the mechanical monstrosity, the dragon exploded, wires appeared around Nash's body.
(Nash: 5400) - (Juliet: 7000 & Jack: 5000)
'Now I Set a card and end my turn.' Jack concluded his turn as the reversed card appeared behind his Stardust Dragon.
Nash was grinning: 'You know the two of you amuse me, your futile attempt to survive this, you actually managed to damage me considerably in one attack and you managed to destroy my Monster.' Slowly Nash started to clap, then he suddenly stopped clapping the expression on his face became more serious, Jack saw the darkness in his eyes.
'I use the Effect of Sin World.' Another card came out of the yellow orb, Nash took it in his hand. 'I send the Stardust Dragon from my Extra Deck to my Graveyard and I Special Summon Sin Stardust Dragon!'
With a roar a Stardust Dragon appeared behind Nash, there were slight differences with the real one, on the top of its head the dragon had a helmet made of black metal, also its stomach and left chest were covered with the same metal as were the top of its wings and its kneepads. (2500 ATK)
'Now I activate Sin Selector.' Nash continued his turn, a Spell card briefly appeared on the Field. 'I Banish Sin Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Sin Cyber End Dragon from my Graveyard so I can add two Sin cards to my hand.' He explained, two cards dropped out of the yellow orb, Nash took them added one of them to his hand and placed the second one on his Duel Disk, it appeared vertically behind Sin Stardust Dragon.
'Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon attack that hidden Monster!'
The hidden Monster before Juliet disappeared and a Reborn Tengu appeared in its place. (600 DEF) It got obliterated by the lightning attack.
Juliet gave Nash the evil eye, she quickly drew her card and immediately placed it in her Duel Disk, the card appeared vertically on the Field.
'Now I activate my Call of the Haunted!' The ground broke open then fire came out and finally Red Dragon Archfiend emerged out of the flames. (3000 ATK)
'Next I use Stamping Destruction to destroy Sin World!' Juliet shouted, she played another Spell card. 'I don't think so.' Nash said: 'You never stood against my Sin Monsters, for your information they come with the Effects of the real versions of the Monster, so I Banish Sin Stardust Dragon to negate the destruction of Sin World!' Sin Stardust Dragon became a blue wire and disappeared into the yellow orb.
'In that case Red Dragon Archfiend attacks Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon!' The two dragons grabbed each other. 'Getting desperate are we?' Nash sneered. 'No Juliet knows well what she does.' Jack replied: 'I activate Ego Boost!' Jack roared, his Spell card opened up, Red Dragon Archfiend roared as its power rose, the dragon bit the Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon in its neck, Nash's dragon fell down on the ground.
(Nash: 4400) - (Juliet: 7000 & Jack: 5000)
'I end my turn.' Juliet stated.
'And that means my Sin Stardust Dragon reappears.' Nash stated, the corrupted Stardust Dragon dropped back out of the yellow orb and landed behind Nash again.
'Juliet you did well, now let me try.' Jack said, he quickly drew his card.
'I activate Battle Waltz on Stardust Dragon! This creates a Waltz Token with the same stats as Stardust Dragon.' Stardust Dragon started to glow, then an exact copy of the Monster appeared. (2500 ATK)
'Now the Waltz Token attacks Sin Stardust Dragon!' The copy of Stardust Dragon attacked the corrupted Sin Stardust Dragon, the two Monsters struggled at bit before they both fell to the ground.
'Now the real Stardust Dragon attacks directly!' Jack shouted, Nash braced himself the force of Stardust Dragon's attack blew Nash back though he was stopped by his own wires and he fell flat on his back, before he could anything more wires wrapped around Nash's legs and parts of his arms.
(Nash: 1900) - (Juliet: 7000 & Jack: 5000)
'Now you did it Jack.' Nash growled: 'I activate the Effect of Sin World!' Again a card came out of the yellow orb, Nash took it. 'I Summon Sin Parallel Gear!' Before Nash appeared a small mechanical creature made entirely out of gears, small pistons, nuts, bolts and small pipes. (0 ATK)
'Next I activate the Spell card Sin Cross.' Nash continued, he played his card. 'This allows me to Special Summon a Sin Monster from my Graveyard.' Blue wires shot out of the yellow orb, they disappeared into the ground and seconds later Sin Stardust Dragon was pulled out of the ground. (2500 ATK)
'Now I Tune my Level two Sin Parallel Gear to my Level eight Sin Stardust Dragon!' The Parallel Gear changed into two rings, Sin Stardust Dragon flew through them, then a pillar of darkness covered the dragon.
'Light and dark, good and evil, lies and truth, all collide in the wake of destruction, through time and space darkness shall rise and lies will become truth! I Synchro Summon, the dark one! Sin Paradox Dragon!'
A dragon twice the size of Stardust Dragon flew out of the pillar, it was a dragon with a large body, long neck and no arms, it stood on two legs and kept it's balance with it's large tail, it's legs, underside of it's body and underside of the wings were black, the rest was white. (4000 ATK)
'Now through the Effect of Sin Paradox Dragon I can Special Summon a Synchro Monster from my Graveyard, that Monster cannot attack.' Wires came out of the yellow orb again, this time the fake Stardust Dragon Nash had created earlier appeared on the Field, it was a slightly darker color than the normal Stardust Dragon had. (2500 ATK)
'Now the other Effect of Sin Paradox Dragon activates, Monsters my opponent controls lose Attack Power equal to the Attack Points of all Synchro Monsters I control except for Sin Paradox Dragon.'
Jack and Juliet looked at their dragons as they became weaker. (Stardust Dragon: 2500- 0 ATK, Red Dragon Archfiend: 3000- 500 ATK)
'Paradox Dragon attacks Stardust Dragon! Paradox Stream!' The blast from Paradox Dragon send Jack flying, before Jack could hit the ground more wires wrapped around him, only his head and parts of his arms were free.
(Nash: 1900) - (Juliet: 7000 & Jack: 1000)
'Next I activate Sin Claw Stream!' Nash's reversed card opened up.
'I target Red Dragon Archfiend and destroy it.' Nash said, wires appeared around the demonic dragon, the life was literally squeezed out of the dragon, when the wires dissolved a red cocoon laid on the ground before Juliet. 'What is that?' Nash asked. 'Red Cocoon, I Equipped it to Red Dragon Archfiend right before you destroyed it.' Juliet explained, she took the Red Cocoon Trap card out of her Duel Disk and discarded it.
'I don't care what you do with that cocoon, you're both dead, now I shall set two cards and end my turn.' Two cards appeared behind Sin Paradox Dragon.
'Before you do that.' Juliet said: 'This is the End Phase of a turn Red Cocoon was send to my Graveyard, because it was Equipped to Red Dragon Archfiend which got destroyed, now I can Special Summon Red Dragon Archfiend.' The cocoon started to shake and suddenly broke open, Red Dragon Archfiend leaped out covered in a slimy substance. (3000- 500 ATK)
'Juliet.' Jack said: 'Take him out.' Juliet nodded. 'Nash it's my turn!' Before Juliet could do something the Signer Marks of the fallen Signers around them started to glow, then the Mark of Jack lid up, slowly the complete Crimson Dragon appeared on Juliet's back, then her Deck started to glow. 'I draw!' Juliet drew her card then she played it, the small Majestic Dragon appeared on the Field. (0 ATK)
'Now I Normal Summon Battle Fader.' Juliet stated, the weird, clock-like Fiend appeared on the Field. (0 ATK)
Then Majestic Dragon started to glow and circle around Red Dragon Archfiend. 'Light gathers into my very being, become the ray of hope to pierce the darkness! Synchro Summon! The majestic devil arrives! Majestic Red Dragon!' Before Juliet the Chinese-like, four-winged dragon appeared, Nash shielded his eyes for the light the dragon radiated. (4000 ATK)
'I use the Effect of Majestic Red Dragon, I negate the Effect of Sin Paradox Dragon, then my dragon gains Attack Points equal to your Monster!' Paradox Dragon started to glow, then Majestic Red Dragon became stronger. (4000- 8000 ATK) 'Attack Paradox Dragon!' Juliet yelled, a bright light illuminated the Field everyone shielded their eyes, when the light faded both Stardust Dragon and Sin Paradox Dragon were gone, Nash was still standing, a Trap card hung in mid-air before him.
'D-damn.' Nash stammered, the Trap card which was Synchro Barrier, Nash had Tributed Stardust Dragon to negate the damage from the battle.
Juliet saw a hint of fear on Nash's face.
'Gah, this won't happen again, you destroyed my Sin Paradox Dragon, so I activate Sin Paradigm Shift!'
Nash closed his eyes, then he started to laugh, a black mist poured out of his mouth while he laughed. 'O now you did it!' He cackled, as slowly more roped gathered around his body. 'I pay half my Life Points, so I can Special Summon Sin Truth Dragon!' Behind Nash appeared the biggest dragon yet, twice the size of Sin Paradox Dragon, completely clad in golden armor, it had huge wings, no arms, rather small legs and a very long tail, the dragon let out a ferocious cry. (5000 ATK)
(Nash: 950) - (Juliet: 7000 & Jack: 1000)
'No, this was the only chance I had.' Juliet gasped: 'I must end my turn now, and that means Majestic Red Dragon disappears.' The majestic dragon stopped glowing and very slowly it changed back into Red Dragon Archfiend, the Crimson Dragon disappeared from Juliet's back and the several parts reappeared on the arms of their respective Signer, Red Dragon Archfiend then crouched down and shielded itself with its wings. (2000 DEF)
'My turn.' Jack growled, he looked over his hand then he shook his head. 'I Set these two and end my turn.' He stated as a hidden Monster appeared another reversed card appeared behind the mystery Monster.
'Come now Jack, you're getting desperate.' Nash stretched out his hand, a card shot out of the yellow orb he took it. 'Oh Jack, I really hope for you that Set Spell or Trap card you control is something worthwhile.'
Jack placed his hand on Juliet's shoulder for a few seconds.
'Jack it is time for you to die!' Nash roared. 'I Special Summon Sin Cyber End Dragon from my hand!' Nash played the card he just got from Sin World, the triple-headed mechanical dragon appeared on the Field once again, the three heads charged their lasers, Jack closed his eyes as the air around him started to crackle, the hidden Monster before Jack disappeared as Junk Blader appeared before him kneeling on one knee and shielding itself with its sword. (1000 DEF)
Jack then was hit by three laser beams of the Sin Cyber End Dragon he was send flying but the strings he was wrapped in held him in his place.
(Nash: 950) - (Juliet: 7000 & Jack: 0)
Jack heard Juliet screaming his name then he heard Nash's laughter as the ropes quickly wrapped around his entire body.
'That nuisance is gone, time to kill the Vampire.' Nash turned his attention to Juliet. 'Don't look at your friend, the life is now being squeezed out of him, give it a few minutes and he should be dead.' Flames appeared in Juliet's eyes. 'Since a Sin Monster destroyed a Monster by Battle, the Effect of Sin Truth Dragon activates! It destroys all Monsters my Opponent controls then deals 800 damage for each destroyed.' Sin Truth Dragon fired a black beam at Red Dragon Archfiend, then the beam cut through Juliet she sank to one knee. 'Sin Truth Dragon direct attack!' Before Juliet could recover another stronger beam struck her down, all of her body except parts of her arm and her head were wrapped in blue wires.
(Nash: 950) - (Juliet: 1200 & Jack: 0)
The cocoon of blue wires next to Juliet stopped struggling. 'And the Dovahkiin is no more.' Nash grinned, Juliet started to sob.
'I won't count your chickens just yet Nash.'
Juliet turned around. 'Jack?' She sobbed, the Dragonborn stood next to the black void Leo was stuck in. 'Why aren't you dead!' Nash roared in frustration and anger. 'There is a reason I lost on purpose, that one moment my Life Points reached zero, I've got a sense of your magic, I attuned myself to it.' Jack touched Leo, the black void disappeared and Leo landed on his feet. 'Thank you Jack.' Leo said to his friend.
'Juliet you can beat Nash, just use the card I left for you.' Juliet was surprised as she saw Jack's card had appeared in her Duel Disk.
'Dammit! Tell me what did you do!' Nash screamed.
'You don't understand do you?' Jack sneered.
'It is simple, before I leaped in front of the attack of your Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon I casted an Illusion Spell, of course this could work through the outburst of magic from the failed ritual.' Jack started to explain: 'After I casted the illusion spell I casted an invisibility spell on myself, dispelling the magic around Leo was simple since I was attuned to your magic Nash.'
Nash started to grit his teeth. 'Now the card that magically appeared in Juliet's Duel Disk, the illusion of myself you have been seeing this entire time didn't play the cards, I did while I was invisible, now it was really simple to slip the card in Juliet's Duel Disk, since we shared our Field the Duel Disk recognized the card being played in Juliet's Disk as legal, the illusion spell showed the card on my Field.'
'Don't think you won.' Nash hissed, he took three Black Soul Gems out of his pocket. 'Drake, Michelle and Don are still mine.' Nash started to relax a bit now he had assumed back control over the situation. 'Wuld Nah Kest!' Jack shouted, with inhuman speed he leaped forward he stopped behind Nash, the latter looked at his empty hand then he looked at Jack who now held the three Soul Gems in his hand. 'Well, look at that, no real Black Soul Gems, crystals modified to look like Black Soul Gems, they hold a pocket dimension, Juliet beat Nash and they are free to go!' Jack casually walked back to Leo.
Nash started to foam a bit. 'You! You cocky arrogant!' Nash roared followed by a series of curse words.
Juliet started to laugh. 'Nash you pathetic now, Jack ultimately defeated you, now it is time for me to end the Duel.' She drew her card.
'First I activate the Premature Burial Jack left me.' The Spell card activated, the ground broke open and Red Dragon Archfiend burst out of the ground. (3000 ATK)
(Nash: 950) - (Juliet: 400 & Jack: 0)
'Now I Normal Summon Chain Resonator.' One of the many small, cloak-wearing Fiends appeared on the Field, this one held a tuning fork and hammer, a large chain floated behind it. (100 ATK)
'Since there is a Synchro Monster on the Field I can Special Summon a Resonator from my Deck.' Next to Chain Resonator appeared the more famous Dark Resonator. (1300 ATK)
'I Double Tune my Level three Dark Resonator and Level one Chain Resonator to my Level eight Red Dragon Archfiend!'
The two Tuners changed into a total of four flaming rings, Red Dragon Archfiend flew through them. 'Darkness gathering into my very being, the demon king evolved into its ultimate form, Synchro Summon! My soul burns brightly, descent Red Nova Dragon!' A loud roar rippled the air, first a shadow flew over, it dropped out of the sky and landed behind Juliet, the mighty demonic, red dragon loomed over Juliet staring directly at Sin Truth Dragon, then Chain Resonator, Dark Resonator, Majestic Dragon and Delta Flyer appeared in spiritual form behind Red Nova Dragon. (3500- 5500 ATK) 'Red Nova Dragon attack Sin Truth Dragon!' Juliet shouted, Red Nova launched itself in the air, then crashed down on Sin Truth Dragon as a pile of flames.
(Nash: 550) - (Juliet: 400 & Jack: 0)
When the smoke cleared, Sin Truth Dragon was still there. 'As long as I can Banish a Sin Monster, Sin Truth Dragon cannot be destroyed by battle.' Nash showed a Sin Cyber End Dragon before he pocketed it.
Juliet silently placed a card in her Duel Disk, it appeared behind Red Nova Dragon.
'All this? And yet you fail!' Nash cackled, a card dropped out of the yellow orb. 'I Special Summon Sin Red-Eyes Black Dragon!' Again the twisted version of the black dragon with red eyes appeared. (2400 ATK)
'Next I use Sin Selector again.' Nash took two cards from his Graveyard and pocketed them, then he took his Deck and searched out two cards.
'Now I Normal Summon Sin Parallel Gear!' The weird creature made of gears and pipes appeared. (0 ATK)
'Finally I activate Sin Cross.' Nash continued the corrupted Sin Stardust Dragon reappeared on the Field. (2500 ATK)
A few seconds later a second Sin Paradox Dragon landed on the Field. (4000 ATK)
The blue wires pulled the fake Stardust Dragon out of the ground again. (2500 ATK) Red Nova Dragon instantly became weaker. (5500- 3000 ATK)
'Why wouldn't I have two Sin Paradox Dragons?' Nash cackled.
'I call a fault on that one Nash, there should only be one Sin Paradox Dragon in existence!' Leo shouted.
'There was only one yes, but I can copy Stardust Dragon, so making extra copies of Sin Paradox Dragon is easy for me.' Nash turned his attention back to Juliet. 'Now Sin Truth Dragon attacks Red Nova Dragon!'
'I use the Effect of Red Nova Dragon, by Banishing it your attack is negated!' In a flash of red light Juliet's dragon disappeared, Sin Truth Dragon drew back. 'You fool! Sin Paradox Dragon finish it!'
'Nash, I never aimed to defeat you on my turn, I wanted you to attack my Red Nova Dragon.' Juliet said with a smirk.
'What?' Nash gasped.
'I activate Zero Force!' Juliet yelled, her Trap card opened up. 'When one of my Monsters is Banished, the attack points of all the Monsters my opponent controls become zero!' Nash cursed loudly as his Monsters dropped to the ground. (0 ATK x3)
'Now my Red Nova Dragon returns.' Juliet said, a pillar of red light appeared, Red Nova Dragon flew out of it. (5500- 3000 ATK)
'Red Nova Dragon attack Sin Truth Dragon! Burning Soul!'
They could hear the screams of Nash as the flames licked at his flesh, blue wires quickly wrapped all around him.
(Nash: 0) - (Juliet: 400 & Jack: 0)
With one loud scream from Nash the blue wires around him disappeared, the rest of the Monsters and Sin World slowly dissolved.
'Damn!' Nash cursed, Nash was floating in mid-air, he was hold in the air by magic, magic that came from a elder man, he was bald with a white, long beard and mustache, the man was wearing gray robes. 'Victor.' Nash growled, the man named Victor turned around. 'My name is Victor, I am the leader of the Psijic Order, Nash here has been out of our reach for quite some time, but now thanks to you we managed to catch up with him, so I want to thank you.' Akatosh stepped forward. 'No problem Master Victor.' The founder of the Blades spoke. 'Of course.' Victor said: 'A deed like this will not go unrewarded, you can expect a nice amount of money on your bank account, also I believe your friends are still trapped.' Victor had just said it and three portals opened up, Drake, Don and Michelle dropped out of them relatively unharmed, they were helped up by Leo and Juliet.
'Now I believe Nash destroyed the D-Wheels of your friends, I will make sure they get new D-Wheels.' After Victor stayed to make sure everyone was still alive he thanked Jack and his friends once more before he disappeared with Nash as his prisoner.
A few minutes later Clair and Larry were released from the Sector Security prison van, that was an order from Jack. 'So.' Jack said to Clair: 'What do you do now? It is clear to me you two had nothing to do with Nash.' Clair nodded. 'Well I think we must reform the Dawnguard, I want to propose for Larry to be our new leader.' Larry was shocked, he looked at Clair. 'Come Larry, don't be surprised, you are gifted with magic, I am not besides as second in command I can keep supporting you.' Larry started to blush. 'Well Larry, if you say yes the Dawnguard will be yours.' Jack kindly said. 'I accept.' Larry said, then he hugged Clair and kissed her on the mouth, they kept embracing each other for a few minutes, nobody said a thing, after a few minutes Larry let go. 'So Jack, now that I am the Dawnguard leader I want to round up our members, some members must have known about Nash they will be handed over to Sector Security, there are some who were riled up by Nash, they will get the chance to leave out of free will, if not they will be handed over to Sector Security, then there are those who had nothing to do with it, if those people want to stay they can.' Clair then placed her hand on Larry's shoulder. 'A good decision.' She said then she turned her attention to Jack. 'It will take some time to reform the Dawnguard, can we count on the Blades to help with this difficult period?' Jack nodded: 'Of course, I want us to closely work together anyway, we might have defeated Volkihar and Nash but a far more dangerous foe lies in wait for us.' Jack hadn't say it and the dull sound of an explosion was heard all over the place, then they saw black smoke coming from the center of New-York, a few seconds later they saw several of the skyscrapers disappearing from the skyline of their beloved city.
'Miraak.' Jack growled through his teeth.
Next time:
One month after the explosion Jack and his team haven't found Miraak yet, but then Miraak finds Jack, however two masked figures appear before Jack to take on the Dragon Priest.
While the masked Duelists distract Miraak, Jack gets challenged by the mysterious Ebony and Ivory, what do the two want with Jack and are they on the side of Jack or are they new enemies? Find that out next time. ''Arc 3: Resurrection'' coming next.
