Me: Alright, I'm feeling the flow again!
Yuma: *Appears* Quit copying me!
Me: Remember my blowtorch?
Yuma: It doesn't scare me anymore.
Me: How about this? *Whispers something into Yuma's ear*
Yuma: *Eyes widen* O-Okay, you can use it. *Disappears*
Sky: I'm guessing you blackmailed him?
Me: Maybe I did.
Sky *Facepalms* Just start the chapter already.
Me: Okay! I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds or Reshiram but I do own Sky and her Deck. Enjoy!
Chapter 29
The light dims as I lower my arm. I'm no longer in the abandoned amusement park; I am now standing in front of the Stairway to the Dragon Star. The center of the Condor Mark. The Signers are all here, along with Leo, Trudge, Mina, and Crow. Our Duel Runners are here as well.
"What just happened? And why is that staircase thingy from Goodwin's mansion here?" Leo asks. A small chuckle comes from the top of the staircase. Rex Goodwin comes out, dressed in his normal uniform.
"Congratulations, you have defeated the Dark Signers," he says. "Although it seems you failed to close the gateway to the Netherworld in time."
"Does this mean the world-" Yusei begins.
"This world is done for," Goodwin says. He stares out to where the King of the Netherworld is approaching. "It is time to start the Divine Ritual." Goodwin pulls out a strange canister. All I can see through it is the Mark of the Dragon's Head.
The Mark lights up along with my friends'. "What are you doing with that?" Yusei demands. Rex simply turns around. The Mark of the Condor appears on his back. With a flash of purple light, Goodwin undergoes a transformation. He now has dark purple marks over his body, his shirt is gone, and he is very muscular.
"You're a Dark Signer?" I ask. That's great, now both people my parents trusted are evil, I think.
"Not just a Dark Signer, by using my brother's arm I will have the power of light and darkness!" Goodwin says. The metal arm he has falls off, and Goodwin takes the arm out of the canister. He attaches the arm to where the metal one had been.
While he does that, my friends' Marks light up, and it apparently causes them pain. "Hmph, quit your useless struggling," Goodwin says. The Marks then stop causing my friends pain.
"Sorry Goodwin, we don't let wing-nuts like you just do whatever you please," Crow says. "You'll have to go through me first!"
"And me. I like this world as it is," Jack says.
"Count me in too," Yusei says. "I'll protect this world no matter what!"
I would join in, but I don't think my side can take it, I think. "Good luck you three," I say. My friends get on their Duel Runners.
"Very well then," Goodwin says. "This will be a three-on-one Turbo Duel, so I start with 12000 Life Points and none of us can attack on our first turn." The staircase then rises even higher and the Condor Mark tilts downwards. The three duelists race onto it.
Goodwin's Life Points: 12000, Jack's Life Points: 4000, Yusei's Life Points: 4000, Crow's Life Points: 4000 "If you don't mind, I'll take the first move," Crow says. All Duelists S.C. 1
"Alright, I Summon the Tuner Blackwing-Mistral the Silver Shield (ATK 100, DEF 1800) to the field in Attack mode. Now since one of my Blackwings is on the field, Blackwing-Bora the Spear (ATK 1700 DEF 800) can join the flock! I end my turn with a face-down," Crow says.
"Prepare to lose, it's my turn!" Jack shouts. All Duelists S.C. 1 "Mad Archfiend (ATK 1800, DEF 0), join the fight! With one card face-down, that ends my turn," Jack finishes.
Before Yusei takes his turn, he asks Goodwin why he became a Dark Signer. "It's because of fate," Goodwin replies. "5000 years from now, new Signers will be born and face the darkness. 5000 years after that, it will happen again. The cycle is never-ending."
"But I intend to break it," Goodwin says. "With the power of the Netherworld I will destroy the world, and with the power of the Crimson Dragon I will rebuild it! I will become a God!"
Becoming a God? Is that even possible? I think.
It is not completely possible, but with both powers, it would seem like he is, Reshiram says. He would be able to shape fate as he desires.
My friends will stop him, I think. "Bring it to him Yusei!" I shout. Whether or not he heard me, Yusei takes his turn.
"You won't win Goodwin, it's my turn!" he says. All Duelists S.C. 3 "I'm Summoning Max Warrior (ATK 1800, DEF 400) in Attack mode! I'll also end my turn with one face-down," Yusei finishes.
"You are mistaken Yusei, I will twist fate and win. It's my turn!" Goodwin shouts. All Duelists S.C. 4 "Since I control no monsters but you do, I can Special Summon Oracle of the Sun (ATK 1000, DEF 2000) to the field! I will also Summon the Tuner Fire Ant Ascator (ATK 700, DEF 1300)," Goodwin continues.
"Now the Level 3 Fire Ant Ascator gives the Level 5 Oracle of the Sun a Tune-up! When the Sun rises, it will illuminate all darkness! May you flood in, light! Synchro Summon! Show yourself, Sun Dragon Inti (ATK 3000, DEF 2500)!" Goodwin shouts.
"I'm not done yet," Goodwin adds. "I banish Fire Ant Ascator in order to Special Summon Weeping Idol (ATK 0, DEF 500) and pay 1000 Life Points in order to Special Summon Dark Tuner-Dark Goddess Witaka (ATK 0, DEF 0)!"
"Dark Tuner-Dark Goddess Witaka can change its Level to that of a Synchro Monster I control," Goodwin says. Dark Goddess Witaka Level -8. "Now I'll Dark Tune my Negative Level 8 Dark Tuner-Dark Goddess Witaka with my Level 2 Weeping Idol!"
"When the moon is full in the darkness, the whispering of the Devil will be heard! Entice them over to death! Dark Synchro! Show yourself, Moon Dragon Quilla (ATK 2500, DEF 2000)!" Goodwin chants.
Another Synchro Summon? Only this time it's a Dark Synchro, I think.
"I end my turn with two face-down cards, and that also means Moon Dragon Quilla is destroyed," Goodwin says. The bluish dragon fades downwards.
"I may not know much about fate or whatnot, but I'll surpass you just like the Legendary Man from Satellite did!" Crow says.
"You know that he lost his left arm because of what he did," Goodwin says.
Crow seems puzzled for a few seconds as he starts his turn. All Duelists S.C. 5 "First up I activate my Speed Spell-Tune Up 123! I roll a dice and depending on what I roll, Mistral the Silver Shield's Level will increase!" Crow says.
The dice rolls. "Alright, it stopped on two so that means one more Level for my monster," Crow says. Blackwing-Mistral the Silver Shield Level 3. "Have you heard the saying 'Birds of a feather flock together'? Well my two Blackwings will be doing that right now! I Tune my Level 3 Blackwing-Mistral the Silver Shield with my Level 4 Blackwing-Bora the Spear!"
"Darkened gales, become the wings which will soar to heavens! Synchro Summon! Blackwing Armor Master (ATK 2500, DEF 1500)!" Crow chants.
"Nice job Crow!" I shout. He stands a chance with his ace monster, I think.
"Seems like one of Armor Master's buddies wants to join him; I Summon Blackwing-Elphin the Raven (ATK 2200, DEF 1200) in Attack mode! See, I can Normal Summon Elphin without a sacrifice if I control a 'Blackwing' monster," Crow says.
"Blackwing Armor Master, why don't you show Sun Dragon Inti your power? Attack it with Black Whirlwind!" Crow shouts. Blackwing Armor Master strikes the orange-colored dragon, but both monsters remain on the field. There is also a wedge sticking out of Sun Dragon Inti.
"Lemme explain; Blackwing Armor Master can't be destroyed in battle and I take no damage when he battles. After Damage Calculation, a Wedge Counter is places on my opponent's monster. If I remove it, the monster's ATK and DEF become zero," Crow says.
The wedge sinks deeper until Sun Dragon Inti is almost fully broken in half. "Now Blackwing-Elphin the Raven, finish up what Armor Master started!" Crow shouts. Goodwin's Life Points: 8800, S.C. 2
Goodwin simply laughs. "It is an unforgivable offense to try to uproot a God," he says. "The man from that Daedalus Bridge legend learned this by losing his left arm."
"Are you the man from the legend?" Yusei asks.
Goodwin ignores the question. "Sun Dragon Inti's effect activates; when it is destroyed in battle, the monster it battled with is destroyed and my opponent takes damage equal to that monster's ATK," Goodwin says.
Crow's Life Points: 1800, S.C. 2 "Now that Inti is gone, Quilla can come back out," Goodwin continues. The bluish dragon returns to the field. "The Legendary Man failed to change his destiny because he was an ordinary man. In order to change fate one must become a God!"
Goodwin holds out the arm with the Mark of the Dragon on it. It glows brightly, and the other Marks of the Dragon disappear from my friends' arms. They reappear on Goodwin's chest. "I am the ultimate God!" Goodwin shouts.
"That makes it all the better to smack some sense into you," Crow says. "I end my turn with two face-down cards." Jack pulls up in front of Crow.
"I don't care about destiny or bonds," he says. "I'll surpass it all! It's my turn!" Jack and Yusei S.C. 6, Crow and Goodwin S.C. 3 "First up I'll place one card face-down. Next I Summon Magic Hole Golem (ATK 0 DEF 2000) in Defense mode! Using its effect, I can halve Mad Archfiend's ATK and allow it to attack you directly!" Jack shouts.
Mad Archfiend ATK 900. "Attack Goodwin directly with Bone Shard Shower!" Jack orders. Goodwin's Life Points: 7900
"Hey Jack, you can't get rid of our bonds that easily," Crow says. "I activate my Trap Shadow Dance! When someone takes damage due to a direct attack, this Trap inflicts 1000 more points of damage to that person!"
Goodwin's Life Points: 6900, S.C. 2 "Thanks Crow, you've let me activate my own Trap Rising Rush! When someone takes damage from a card effect, I can Special Summon one Tuner from my hand," Yusei says. "I choose my Junk Synchron (ATK 1300, DEF 500)!"
"I end my turn," Jack says.
"It's my turn then!" Yusei says. Yusei and Jack S.C. 7, Crow S.C. 4, Goodwin S.C. 3 "I Tune my Level 3 Junk Synchron with my Level 4 Max Warrior! Gathering roars turn into an echoing arrow which tears through the sky! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Show yourself, Junk Archer (ATK 2300, DEF 2000)!" Yusei chants.
"Now I activate my archer's special power; once per turn he can banish one monster my opponent controls until the End Phase," Yusei says. "Bull's Eye Banishing!" Junk Archer shoots a glowing arrow at Moon Dragon Quilla. Quilla disappears into a gray cloud.
"Now that your dragon is out of the way, Junk Archer can attack you directly!" Yusei shouts. "Go, Scrap Arrow!"
Goodwin laughs as the arrow flies towards him. "I activate my Trap Offering to the Immortals! This card negates a direct attack, Special Summons two Ceremonial Tokens, and lets me add an 'Earthbound Immortal' from my Deck to my hand," he says.
"He has his Earthbound Immortal now," Luna says.
"Yeah, and who knows what it can do," I say. "But there's no way those three will lose to it!"
"I set two cards face-down and end my turn," Yusei says. Moon Dragon Quilla returns to the field.
"Then it's time for this duel to be over! It's my turn!" Goodwin says. Yusei and Jack S.C. 8, Crow S.C. 5, Goodwin S.C. 4 The stone heart appears over the Condor Mark. "I release my two tokens in order to awaken the strongest Earthbound Immortal! Reveal yourself, Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca!" Goodwin shouts.
Many lights are absorbed into the stone heart. After it had absorbed at least 100, the heart explodes. A giant black condor hovers over the staircase. Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca ATK 1.
The King of the Netherworld, already halfway across the sea surrounding Satellite, lets loose a mighty screech. Small condors made of the same goo that the King is appear next to it. The small condors fly towards the geoglyph and attempt to knock my friends off of it.
"Oh no you don't!" I shout. I pull my Duel Disk off of my Duel Runner and quickly Summon Celestial Dragon-Quasar. My dragon blasts several of the condors. Akiza and Luna also Summon their dragons, and they help mine fight off the condors.
"Goodwin, our bonds as friends will surpass fate," Yusei says.
"I'm afraid that won't work," Goodwin says. "I activate Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca's special ability; by skipping my Battle Phase I can lower one of my opponents' Life Points to one. Say goodbye to most of your Life Points Yusei."
"I won't let you do that!" Crow says. "Just like the Legendary Man I won't give up! I activate my Trap Life Exchange, which forces the damage to go to me instead of Yusei."
The blast along with one of the condors knocks Crow off of the track. "Don't give up Crow!" I shout. Crow switches his Duel Runner into flight mode and lands back on the track. His Runner is in no condition to duel anymore.
Crow's Life Points: 1 "The second effect of Life Exchange destroys Moon Dragon Quilla," Crow says. "And I activate my Trap Blackwing-Bombardment, releasing Blackwing Armor Master."
"There, our bonds haven't broken yet," Crow says.
"Your useless effort only lets me bring back Sun Dragon Inti," Goodwin says. "I end my turn with a face-down."
To be continued…
Me: Yeah, I think the chapter is long enough now.
Sky: You can't just stop it like that!
Me: Sure I can! It's actual authors who can't do that.
Yusei: You technically are a real author. You're publishing this on the Internet.
Me: When I mean actual authors, I mean the people who got their books published and the books are in stores.
Sky: Oh. Well hurry up anyways; you have to put another chapter up soon!
Me: Fine! Okay readers, please review this story and also read the new one-shot I put up called Trouble With Soda. Thanks for reading my story and for reviewing if you have!
