Failing to shut down all the towers, the king of the underworld was on it's way to Magnolia. Meanwhile, Jellal revealed he was using Natsu and the others so he could have the power of light and darkness to recreate the world. Natsu was dueling him right now, but he's a dire situation. Jellal has 3400LP with his Heavenly Chariot and Heavenly Pleiades. Natsu had nothing on his field and only 500LP. To make matters worse, the king was getting closer to them.
"Don't give up, Natsu!" Lucy called out.
"Come on. Keep fighting." Laxus said. Everyone was putting their hopes on him to win.
"It's your move, Natsu. That is if you have anything left to fight with." Jellal said.
"Just you wait!" Natsu said as he drew his card. "Oh yeah! I'm activating Flame Restoration. Here's how it works. I remove from play one fire attribute monster that's in my graveyard. Then, I gain life points equal to its attack or defense points, whichever is higher. I'm going with Pyro Maniac. He has 2000atk points and 1800def points. Since his attack points are higher, I'm gaining 2000LP." His life points rose up to 2500LP.
"Excellent. He needs to regain as many life points as he can." Erza said.
"Next, I summon Fire Dragon Iron Fist to the field." Natsu said. His monster came out with 1600atk points. "Now to take out your Heavenly Chariot. Burning Destroyer!" His monster went to attack and crushed the monster with Jellal's life points dropping down to 2800. "I think that's enough for one turn."
"Not bad Natsu, but you'll have to do a lot better." Jellal said as he looked back and saw the king was getting closer and closer. "I'll start by activating the spell Sainted Card. Since there's a Heavenly monster on the field, we're both allowed to draw until we have six cards." Both of them did just that. "Excellent. I summon Planetary Circuit." A solar system model came on the field and had 1000atk points. "Now I use Planetary Circuit's ability. Since there's a light attribute monster on the field, I can increase his level by one. So now it's a level four."
"Why do that?" Natsu asked.
"Because he's about to synchro summon!" Erza said.
"That's right. I tune my level four Planetary Circuit with my level four Heavenly Pleiades." Jellal said as his model became four green rings. Once they were around his warrior, he turned into four stars and a beam shot through. "I synchro summon Apollo Warrior Saryu!" A red armored warrior with a sun shield and a flaming sword rose with 3000atk points. "I'm afraid it doesn't stop there. I activate Extra Double. When I summon a monster from my extra deck, I can bring out another monster from there. However, I need to discard the required monsters."
"Huh?" Natsu wasn't quite getting it.
"I'll show you. The monster I wish to summon is a fusion monster." Jellal said. "That means I need to discard the two monsters needed to summon it."
"You can fusion summon too?!" Natsu said.
"That's right." Jellal said as he took two cards from his deck. "I discard Heavenly Moon and Heavenly Jiu Leixing." He discarded the two monsters and they fused together. "I'm summon Saryu's brother. I fusion summon Diana Warrior Luro!" A blue armored warrior with a glowing blue sword and a moon shield came up and had 3000atk points.
"Now he has two monsters with 3000atk points!" Erza said.
"Perhaps, but not for long." Jellal said. "You see, when Saryu is on the field while Luro is, Luro goes to the graveyard." Luro was pulled into a vortex and vanished.
"Why would you do that?" Natsu said.
"You'll find out. That's assuming you even get the chance." Jellal said. "Saryu, strike down his Fire Dragon Iron Fist with Sun Sword Slice!" His sun warrior slashed down on Natsu's monster and destroyed it with Natsu's life points dropping down to 900. "I'm also going to activate the ability of my Heavenly Angel. When it's in my graveyard, I can remove it from play. That gives me another 1000LP." A light shined down on him and his life points went up to 3800. "Are you done yet?"
"No way." Natsu said as he was staying strong. "I still don't get why you're even doing this."
"How many times am I going to explain this before you understand?" Jellal said. "I'll try to use small words so that even you will understand. As you were probably already aware, Dr. Precht was my teacher. He was among the best educator I ever had. When I found out he gave into darkness, I did as he was told to find those who held the dragons' power."
"We already know that. Hades told us himself." Natsu said.
"I figured." Jellal said. "Not long after he gave me those cards and I scattered them to the wind, I began to see the world as it truly was. There are those who are corrupted and use their power that may seem like they benefit others, but there are those who make them miserable. It's just like what happened with Hades. He gave in darkness and while it made him and others stronger, it made many suffer. There are much greater forces controlling us and we all seem powerless in situations like that."
"Don't tell me this is more of that destiny and fate junk. I already crossed that with Hades." Natsu said.
"No. This is about liberation. This is about freedom. Life itself is a never ending battle between light and dark, but I plan to break that cycle." Jellal said. "Once I have all the power, I shall destroy this world and form a new one where people are truly free."
"You don't need to destroy the world for something like this." Natsu said. "That's just insane."
"If I were you Natsu, I wouldn't be wasting time with talk." Jellal said as they all saw the monster entered the city. "With each passing second, he's getting closer. Now back to the duel. It's your move."
"Jellal, what has happened to you? You're nothing like that boy I met before." Erza said.
"Here goes!" Natsu said as he drew his next card. "Thanks for letting me get all these cards. I'm activating Monster Reborn to bring back my Fire Dragon Iron Fist." His monster resurrected with 1600atk points. "I'm also going to activate Straight To It. By sending a trap card in my hand or deck to the graveyard, I can use its affect. I'm going to use Relit. This trap brings back another fire attribute monster and I'm bringing back Fire Dragon Talon." His other monster came up with 1500atk points. "They aren't saying because I'm also going to use this!"
"Polymerization." Jellal said.
"That's right. You're not the only one who can fusion summon." Jellal said. "I fuse Iron Fist and Talon with Winger in my hand." The three monsters came together. "I fusion summon Fire Dragon Slayer!" His dragon armored warrior flew on the field with 3000atk points.
"Alright! Now it's an even fight!" Cana said.
"He just might pull this off." Freed said.
"He's got to have something planned so I should play a little defense." Natsu said. "I summon Fireball Dragon in defense mode." His dragon came up with 500def points. "There's more. When there's another dragon on the field, my Fire Dragon Slayer gains another 300atk points." His monster's attack points went up to 3300. "Now take out his warrior with Flaming Elimination!" His warrior flew right at the warrior and slashed it with his sword and destroyed it with Jellal's life points dropping to 3500. "There goes your best monster."
"Not quite." Jellal said. "I activate the ability Diana Warrior Luro. When Saryu is destroyed, Luro can rise from the graveyard." Luro came back on the field. "It also works vice versa. If you destroy Luro, Saryu can rise to the field."
"So that's why he destroyed Luro. It's an endless cycle." Erza said. "If one falls, the other will rise."
Just make your next move." Natsu said.
"I shall." Jellal said as he drew his next card. "I activate Charitable Donation. This spell will allow you to choose one monster on the field and you gain life points equal to its attack points."
"You're giving me life points? In that case, I choose my Fire Dragon Slayer." Natsu said as a light shined on him and his life points went up to 4200.
"Why would he give him life points?" Wendy asked.
"If I had to say, I say he's buying some time for ugly." Erik said as he turned back and heard the monster was getting closer and closer.
"Luro, strike down his Fireball Dragon with Lunar Slashing Illuminance!" Jellal said as his warrior's sword glowed bright and destroyed Fireball Dragon. "Without your dragon, your monster is going to get weaker." Fire Dragon Slayer's attack points dropped to 3000. "Next, I activate Chalice of Fortune. After a monster is destroyed, this spell allows one monster to jump from my deck to my hand. I'll end my turn." He said as he drew the card.
"It's my turn!" Natsu said as he drew his next card, but he heard the king unleashed a roar. Natsu looked back and saw the king was unleashing bird like creatures. They flew over and started attacking Natsu and other people. "Hey! That's cheating!"
"I can't control him. He's doing whatever he pleases. I don't know the way he's thinking, but perhaps he's agreeing with me." Jellal said. One of those birds was about to attack Natsu, but a blast of lightning destroyed it. Natsu looked back and saw he was saved by Heavledge and the other dragons. All of them flew over and tried to strike down the king.
"It's the other dragons!" Erza said.
"Natsu!" Laxus called out and he looked down. "We'll take care of these guys. You stay focus on beating Jellal."
"We're all with you! We know you can win!" Lucy said.
"The same goes for us." Ultear said and Meldy agreed.
"Go, Natsu! Show him the power of what a duelist from Fairy Tail can do!" Makarov said. Everyone was cheering for Natsu to fight and win.
"You got it. I'll start by activating my Brilliant Flame spell." Natsu said. "So that's going to give my Fire Dragon Slayer an extra 800atk points." His monster was given more power and his attack points went up to 3800. "Fire Dragon Slayer, take down Luro while we can still deal some damage." His slayer flew up and slashed down on Luro with it being destroyed and Jellal's life points dropped to 2700.
"A nice try, but don't forget that when Luro is destroyed, Saryu will rise to the field." Jellal said as Saryu returned to the field.
"I'll get you yet, Jellal. It's the end of my turn." Natsu said.
"We'll see." Jellal said as he drew his next card. "I activate Meteor Burnout. Since my life points are lower than yours, I'm able to bring two meteor tokens to the field." Two meteors with glowing red eyes came up with 1000def points. "I think it's time I show you what my dark powers have brought me."
"No! Not that!" Gray said as all of them knew what they were up against.
"Everyone, get as far as from that dragon mark as you can if you don't want to be lost in darkness again!" Lucy said. All of them started running for their lives and was getting as far as they could.
"I sacrifice both my tokens and summon my Underworld Lord!" Jellal said as the two tokens burst into light and came together as they formed the heart. The heart started beating and there were some people caught in it as their souls were extracted and their bodies faded to nothing.
"All those lights….he's stealing souls of innocent people!" Erza said.
"No. He's using them to power that monstrosity." Natsu said.
"Come forth, Underworld Lord Raga Ruga!" Jellal said. The heart unleashed the energy and the monster was formed. It was a Chinese black dragon with red markings around its body. However, unlike the other Underworld Lords, it only had a 100atk points.
"Hold on. That thing is an Underworld Lord? It's only got a 100atk points." Natsu said as he was seeing he had nothing to be afraid of.
"What he lacks in power, he makes up for with his special ability." Jellal said. "I activate Raga Ruga's special ability. Once a turn, by skipping my battle phase, I can take away half of your life points." Raga Ruga unleashed a purple flame at Natsu and it smashed into him with Erza being blown back.
"Natsu!" Erza screamed as Natsu screamed from the pain as his life points dropped to 2100. Natsu dropped to one knee, but he wasn't backing down.
"I'm good." Natsu said. "That ability might be powerful, but I know your Underworld Lord's weakness. It can't protect you from direct attacks."
"You are right about that, but that's not a problem as long as I have another monster on the field." Jellal said as he pointed to Saryu. "As long as I have one monster on the field, I'm safe."
"And there's Saryu's and Luro's ability. He set up a wall around himself." Erza said.
"That's right." Jellal said for he seemed almost untouchable now and the king draws closer while the other dragons try to stop it. "Doomsday is here. The world as we know it is about to end. The dragons have lost."
