Chapter 28: A Vengeful Battle

Third Person POV

Crow made plans on how to get past the corner first. Crow sped-up as they neared the corner, prompting Greiger to move even faster. Greiger got to the corner first, but drifted to the outmost point due to the size of his duel runner. The allowed Crow to easily take the inside lane and move in front of Greiger.

"Looks like I go first!" Crow exclaimed drawing his card. "I'll start by summoning Blackwing- Shura the Blue Flame (Attack 1800/ Defense 1200) in attack mode. Finally I set a face down."

Greiger drew his card. "I summon Trap Reactor Y FI (Attack 800/ Defense 1800) in attack position. Next I send Diving Exploder from my hand to the graveyard to activate its effect switching the attack and defense of all face up monsters until the end phase or until a monster is destroyed by battle (Shura the Blue Flame: Attack 1200/ Defense 1800; Trap Reactor Y FI: Attack 1800/ Defense 800)! Now Trap Reactor, attack his Shura the Blue Flame!" The attack his and destroyed Crow's monster knocking Crow's life points to 3400. "I set a face down and end my turn." And due to it being his end phase, Greiger's Diving Exploder trap effect wore off returning the monsters' attack and defense to their original states.

Crow drew his card. "You may have gotten the first hit but I'm not down yet. I activate the Speed Spell- Angel Baton! This allows me to draw two cards but I have to send one to the graveyard," he decalred. "Next I summon Blackwing- Mistral the Silver Shield (Attack 100/ Defense 1800) in defense mode. Next using its effect I can special summon Blackwing- Bora the Spear (Attack 1700/ Defense 800) from my hand. Now Bora the Spear will attack your Trap Reactor!"

"I activate Fake Explosion! This prevents my monster from being destroyed," Greiger retorted. The attack hit and though Greiger's monster still stood, Greiger still took the 900 points of damage knocking his down to 3100. "And plus, I'm allowed to summon Summon Reactor SK (Attack 2000/ Defense 1400) from my hand."

Crow looked over the field analyzing the situation. "I end my turn," he declared.

"It's only natural that I'll win a duel against you. After all, you're not a Signer!" Greiger boasted.

Suddenly Yusei drove up shocking the two. "Crow, Greiger!" he exclaimed. "Greiger, why are you a Dark Signer?!"

"I have been reborn to seek vengeance against Goodwin through the powers of a Dark Signer," Greiger replied. "As you are his pawn, Yusei, I am your enemy!"

"Listen, this duel needs to stop right now!" Yusei tried. "Before someone gets hurt!"

"No!" Crow refused. "The Dark Signers caused all those kids I looked after to disappear. I have to avenge them!" Crow began to recollect what happened after Zero Reverse and after his parents died that day.

"I'll take you on, Crow. For vengeance is the darkness of one's heart which will never die out," Greiger responded.

"Please, you need to stop this. You both have suffered the same wounds and should be understanding each other, not fighting!" Yusei tried again.

"Where are we supposed to vent our again, then?!" Crow shouted.

"Revenge jut breeds more revenge," Yusei replied.

'He's right but my heart's telling me to continue the duel,' Crow thought. "Please understand, Yusei, and just watch our duel!" he pleaded.

"Fine, but I'm seeing this through to the end," Yusei gave in. Greiger and Crow nodded in acceptance.

Greiger drew his card. "I summon Spell Reactor RE (Attack 1200/ Defense 900) in attack position. Next I activate the effect of Summon Reactor SK, sending three Reactors on my field to the graveyard to special summon Flying Fortress SKY FIRE (Attack 3000/ Defense 2500) in attack position!" he declared. "Next I activate SKY FIRE's effect. But sending Dark Tuner Doom Submarine from my hand to the graveyard, I can destroy Blackwing- Mistral the Silver Shield. Now SKY FIRE, attack his Blackwing- Bora the Spear!" The attack hit and destroyed Bora the Spear but Crow was quick to activate Mistral the Silver Shield's effect, reducing the battle damage to zero. "I end my turn."

"I summon Blackwing- Vayu the Emblem of Honor (Attack 800/ Defense 0)," Crow declared after drawing his card.

"I activate Flying Fortress SKY FIRE's effect, destroying your monster and inflicting 800 points of damage to you," Greiger responded. As such, Crow's life points dropped to 2600.

"I activate Vayu's effect," Crow returned. "This removes it from play and my Blackwing- Elphin the Raven from the graveyard to synchro summon a synchro monster whose level is equal to the combined level of the two monsters. So I synchro summon Blackwing Armor Master (Attack 2500/ Defense 1500)! Next I activate the effect of Blackwing- Gale the Whirlwind's effect from my hand allowing me to summon it from my hand. So come on out, Blackwing- Gale the Whirlwind (Attack 1300/ Defense 400). Now I attack your Flying Fortress with Blackwing Armor Master. And due to its effect, it's not destroyed and I take no battle damage. Plus, Blackwing Armor Master places a Wedge Counter on your monster at the end of the damage step. Meaning since I'm removing the Wedge Counter, Flying Fortress SKY FIRE's attack and defense are lowered to zero until the end phase (Flying Fortress SKY FIRE: Attack 0/ Defense 0). Now Gale the Whirlwind will attack your SKY FIRE!" The attack hit and Greiger's life points dropped to 1800 while his monster was destroyed. Greiger also lost a speed counter as well. "I set a face down and end my turn."

Greiger drew. "I special summon Dark Tuner Doom Submarine (Attack 0/ Defense 300) using its effect. Next I normal summon Darksea Rescue (Attack 0/ Defense 0)," he declared.

Yusei watched carefully and worried. 'He's going to Dark Synchro Summon,' he thought.

"Now I use both my monster is a Dark Synchro Summon," Greiger declared confirming Yusei's suspicions. "So I dark tune my Dark Tuner Doom Submarine and my Darksea Rescue to dark synchro summon my Dark Flattop (Attack 0/ Defense 3000) in defense position! Now since I used Darksea Rescue for a synchro summon, I can draw one card. And since the synchro monster that used Darksea Rescue as a synchro material was summoned in defense position, I can draw one more card. Next I use the effect of Dark Flattop to special summon Flying Fortress SKY FIRE (Attack 3000/ Defense 2500) from my graveyard in attack position ignoring summoning conditions. Next I use Flying Fortress SKY FIRE's effect to send Star Blast from my hand to the graveyard and destroy Blackwing Armor Master!" Blackwing Armor Master was destroyed due to the card effect. "Now with that out of the way, I can attack and destroy Blackwing- Gale the Whirlwind!" As said, Gale the Whirlwind was destroyed and Crow's life points diminished to 900 plus he lost a speed counter. "I set a face down and end my turn."

Crow drew his card. "I pass this turn," he declared.

"Have you given up?" Greiger laughed drawing his card. "I use the effect of Flying Fortress SKY FIRE to send Darksea Float from my hand to the graveyard and destroy your face down! Now Flying Fortress SKY FIRE, attack Crow directly and finish this!"

"This isn't over yet. Because I activate Blackwing- Backlash! This destroys all of your monsters," Crow shot back.

Due to Darksea Float's effect, Greiger drew a card. "I set a card face down. Next I activate Contaminated Earth! This allows me to summon my ultimate monster!" Greiger declared and Yusei tensed in worry. He knew what was coming. "I special summon a god of darkness. Come forth, Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua (Attack 2900/ Defense 1600)! I end my turn there." He smirked in satisfaction.

Crow drew his card. "I summon Blackwing- Fane the Steel Chain (Attack 500/ Defense 800) in attack mode. Next I use its effect to attack you directly," he declared. The attack was successful and Greiger's life points dropped to 1300. "Due to Blackwing- Fane the Steel Chain's effect, your Earthbound Immortal is switched into defense mode and you can't switch its battle position until the end phase of my next turn. Finally I set a face down."

Greiger drew with a smirk. "That did nothing to help you, Crow," he stated. "Because I activate Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua's effect. It inflicts half its defense at you!" Crow's life points dropped to a mere 100. "Next I summon another Darksea Rescue (Attack 0/ Defense 0) in attack mode. Now I activate Basara! By tributing a monster once per turn, I can destroy a monster you control that has a higher level than the monster I tributed and inflict 800 points of damage to the destroyed monster's controller. So I tribute Darksea Rescue and destroy Fane the Steel Chain as well as inflict 800 points of damage to you."

. . .

With Keeo and Akiza, Keeo's eyes immediately went wide as a snap vision popped into her mind before vanishing within the next second.

"Crow…" she muttered.

Me: It's out!

Crow: Another cliffhanger? And with me only the line like that?!

Me: Shut up and get back to your duel!

Crow: *growls* *stomps off frustrated*

Yusei: That was a bit out of character.

Me: I'll explain it to you another time, Yusei. Right now, I have to say a temporary farewell to the readers. As you probably heard me say to Yusei, see you until the next chapter!
