35. Psychic Overload.
Mallow my grandson and Mario they've taken down Valentina.
That war cost a lot: Houses are destroyed, a lot of people are hurt, some have a trauma, Johnson Dodo is dead and Valentina is in a coma.
Mallow's real parents are in the hospital they've suffered a lot.
But it is time to move on, Smithy waits for them.
Mallow and the others entered the room in the hospital where his parents were, Frogfucius wasn't there he was aiding Sector Security.
'Mom! Dad!' Mallow shouted he never saw his parents but he knew these people were his parents.
'Mallow!' His mother shouted and she bursted in tears, Mallow also bursted in tears they flew each other around the neck.
'Mallow thank goodness you're still alive.' His mother cried, she was around the forty years old.
Mallow's father laid in the hospital bed, he was two years older than his wife, he looked weak as a result of the poison Valentina had used on him.
'Mallow who are all the guys with you?' His mother asked when she had wiped off the tears of her face.
'That is not important right now mom, how is dad?' Mallow asked.
'Not okay, he is weak and sick, the doctors say it will take a while for him to recover, the poison really got to him, but he'll be alright eventually.'
Mallow sighted from relieve.
'Now I will introduce all the people I brought here.' Mallow said.
Mario stepped to the front.
'This is Mario he helped me get here he aided me from the moment I met him and that was before Exor arrived.'
'Exor?' Queen Nimbus asked.
Mallow explained what happened from the moment Exor landed up till now.
'I see.' Queen Nimbus said.
'So who is Geno?' She asked and Geno stepped to the front.
'I must really thank you, if not for your help things could have gone terribly wrong.' Queen Nimbus said.
'It was no problem at all.' Geno said he slightly blushed.
'I must say something as well.' Rozalin said.
'I am the Princess of the largest island group here, and we sort of blew away a part of the wall of your palace, it was necessary.' Mallow had forgotten to mention Rozalin was the princess.
Queen Nimbus smiled.
'So you are Rozalin, I know your parents well and I know we can work it out I'm just glad you saved everything.' Queen Nimbus said.
Bowser who remained silent looked at the queen.
'And you, Bowser was it?' She asked.
'Yes I am Bowser.' Bowser replied.
'What is your part in this?'
'That Exor crashed into my mansion and I just want my mansion back...'
Bowser closed his eyes.
'...Yeah,' he said. 'This must do, you see the others are collecting Star Pieces we cannot return to my mansion if we don't have the last Star Piece.'
'And where is that Star Piece?' Queen Nimbus asked.
'It is in the volcano, but we need permission to go there, and yes we will deal with the Semi-God sealed in that place, we've got it all figured out.'
Queen Nimbus was impressed.
'So Geno knows how to break that seal, so yes you have my permission.'
Bowser laughed.
'One more thing, the only entrance is through the top and that Semi-God must be tough, so we need a vessel to safely enter the volcano and to safely escape.'
Queen Nimbus nodded.
'We grand you the best vessel we have here.'
'One more thing.' Bowser said.
'My Mansion is not really nearby, unless we can cross the ocean with said vessel.'
Queen Nimbus laughed.
'You have guts I give you that, of course you can use the vessel as long as you like.'
Bowser laughed out loud.
Then Frogfucius entered.
'Frogfucius!' Queen Nimbus said in surprise.
'All sectors are clear, no more of Valentina's men remain.'
Queen Nimbus sighted from relieve.
'But I have also grave news, your other son Johnson he died he got killed by a member of the Trinity.' Frogfucius explained what the Trinity was.
'I see, he will get an honorable burial, but not in the royal graveyard, he was branded a traitor.' Queen Nimbus said.
Frogfucius saw the tears in her eyes.
'But enough about the sad news, I make sure the vessel will be ready within the hour.'
At that exact moment the lights in the hospital fell out.
'A black-out!' Rozalin shouted the emergency generator turned on but immediately shut off again and that also happened to the second emergency generator.
'This isn't a normal black-out.' Geno noticed.
'Where is the generator?' Geno asked.
'On the roof.' Queen Nimbus replied.
'Let's go something tells me the Smithy Gang is back.'
Mario and Geno stormed the stairs to the roof, the rest followed behind them.
When they kicked in the door leading to the roof, they immediately saw what was going on, it was not the Smithy Gang.
Three people were standing on the roof next to the energy generator.
Two of them they recognized at once the third one was unfamiliar to them.
'Look at that.' Mario whispered.
'Ruby and Simon.' Rozalin whispered back.
'Fawful you do know what you are doing right?' Ruby asked.
'Ha ha ha ha ha, that black-out I planned it. It is part of my FURY!' Fawful said and he laughed.
'O yes, now that there is no more power they will come running to me like crying kids who lost their mother.'
Simon Croco looked dumbfounded Ruby shook her head.
'Look who came.' Fawful suddenly said, both Ruby and Simon turned around.
'I see the Fink-Rats!' Fawful shouted.
'But without power all the people in here will suffer!'
'And who are you?' Geno asked.
'You ask who Fawful is?' Fawful said.
'Alright Fawful turn the power back on.' Geno said in a demanding voice.
'No you Fink-Rats laid fingers on my team I will have my FURY for that! Yes turning of the power in this hospital is the sweet dessert after a meal of HATRED!'
'Fawful what you want is revenge you won't have your way.' Geno replied and he activated his Duel Disk.
'Ha ha ha a Duel?' Fawful laughed and he activated his own Duel Disk it was a standard design only with some glowing weird orb on top of it.
'I have FURY!' Fawful shouted and he drew five cards, Geno did the same.
'Fawful goes first.' Fawful said.
(Fawful: 8000) - (Geno: 8000)
Fawful looked over his hand.
'Fawful has almost all the cards he needs.' Fawful muttered.
'Fawful summons Card Guard in Attack Mode!' Fawful shouted.
A big and ugly mantis-like creature on two legs appeared, it was red and white, sparks appeared around him. (1600 ATK)
'Fawful's Card Guard now gains a Counter and 300 Attack Points.'
Card Guard growled. (1900 ATK)
'Now the Spell card Vengeful Bog Spirit.' Fawful Continued and a Continuous Spell card appeared.
'And a Field Spell.' Fawful continued. 'Future Visions!' Fawful shouted the area changed into a black void, flat, square panels floated around and everyone saw different images.
'Now Fawful set these and end his turn.' Two reversed cards appeared behind Card Guard.
'This can prove to be difficult.' Geno said out loud.
'His Field Spell Removes from Play each monster that is Normal Summon then it returns during the next Standby Phase of that controller.'
Geno phased up and down.
'His Vengeful Bog Spirits makes sure that no monster can attack the turn it is summoned or flipped, so if I Summon I lose my monster if I set and Flip it, it cannot attack.'
Fawful laughed.
'My strategy ruins your day as a snowstorm on a beach barbecue party.' Fawful said.
'I set two cards.' Geno said and a reversed monster appeared, behind it a set card appeared.
'That ends my turn.
'Fawful activate Card of Sanctity!' Both players drew until they held six cards.
'Now the Spell card Toon Table of Content!' Fawful shouted.
'So that is why.' Geno muttered, a card slipped out of Fawful's Deck it was Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon.
'What is going on?' Mario wondered.
'Toon Deck.' Geno said. 'Most Toons cannot attack when Summoned, all Toons are Special Summoned so Future Visions doesn't affect them, and Vengeful Bog Spirits doesn't affect them as well.'
Geno scratched his chin he looked at the other two facedown cards Fawful had and Card Guard.
'That Card Guard must be there to protect Toon World, one of these facedown cards is likely to be Toon Defense it makes any attack on a Toon a direct attack, so the other one must be Spirit Barrier.'
Fawful let out a high pitch laugh.
'You are truly a master of the mind, but Fawful is not afraid.'
Fawful took a card from his hand.
'Toon World!' He shouted and a green book appeared on the field, it read Toon World on the cover.
'Fawful pays 1000 Life Points!' A red energy rose from Fawful and Toon World sprung open, it revealed a flap-out page with a 3D carton city on it.
(Fawful: 7000) - (Geno: 8000)
'First Fawful uses the effect of Card Guard to protect Toon World!'
A shield appeared on the cover of Toon World.
'Next Fawful sacrifices his Card Guard for Toon Dark Magician Girl!' He shouted.
A huge hammer appeared on the field it slammed Card Guard on the head, the monster grunted and exploded then in a shower of petals a smaller and less cute version of Geno's Dark Magician Girl appeared, she held the hammer in her hand, she giggled and blew a kiss to Geno. (2000 ATK)
'Disgusting.' Geno muttered.
'I end my turn!' Fawful shouted.
Geno quickly drew his card.
'First of all I Flip my Skilled Dark Magician!' Geno shouted and his reversed monster disappeared and a man wearing white robes appeared, he held a cane in his hands with an orb on top of it. (1900 ATK)
'Next I Summon Dark Valkyria!' Geno shouted and his beloved Duel Spirit appeared. (1800 ATK)
'And away she goes!' Fawful shouted and Dark Valkyria disappeared through a void.
'That ends my turn.' Geno said.
Fawful slowly drew his card.
'Fawful calls forth Toon Cannon Soldier!'
In an explosion of smoke a purple cartoon cannon with arms and legs appeared, it laughed like crazy. (1400 ATK)
'Next Fawful activates Inferno Reckless Summon!' Fawful shouted and two more Toon Cannon Soldiers appeared. (1400 ATK x2)
The orb on top of Skilled Dark Magicians staff started to glow faintly.
'I have FURY!' Fawful shouted and he pointed at one of the Cannons.
'Fawful sacrifices it so you take 500 Points of Damage!'
The cannon on top of Toon Cannon Soldier grew big it started to smoke.
'Uh-oh!' The Toon Cannon Soldier shouted then it laughed like crazy and fired a bullet that could impossibly fit into the gun.
Geno grunted when he felt actual pain.
'This is not a Shadow Game and yet I feel pain.' Geno grunted, he looked at Fawful his eyes glowed. 'A powerful Psychic Duelist so that is why, better cast a barrier.'
An invisible barrier rose around Geno.
'Toon Cannon Soldier number two!' Fawful shouted and this one also exploded, the bullet past through the barrier Geno fell to one leg.
(Fawful: 7000) - (Geno: 7000)
'Toon Dark Magician Girl your move!' Fawful shouted and the little Spellcaster cheered then she turned around and disappeared, she reappeared behind Geno, Geno turned around and Toon Dark Magician Girl took off her head and drew a hammer ten times her size out of it she slammed Geno on the head and then flew back to Fawful's side.
(Fawful: 7000) - (Geno: 5000)
'Fawful ends his turn.'
Geno had tears in his eyes and a bump on his head.
'I'll get her for that.' He groaned, then the black void appeared again and Dark Valkyria appeared on the Field. (1800 ATK)
'I'll activate my own Spell card Black Illusion Ritual!' Geno shouted and a huge crock with two cups behind it appeared on the Field.
The staff of Skilled Dark Magician started to glow brighter.
'I send Dark Magician to the Graveyard.' Geno said and he discarded the card.
Dark Magician fell into the crock and purple energy flowed out of it into the cups.
'I Ritual Summon Relinquished!' Geno shouted and the most weird monster appeared, it had one eye on a stick, and that eye was the Eye of Wdjat, it floated in mid-air because it had no legs it had two arms, an opening in his stomach and two wings on his back that could act as a shield. (0 ATK)
'Relinquished cannot attack now, but I can use his effect!' Geno shouted.
The stomach of Relinquished opened Toon Dark Magician Girl gasped as she suddenly was sucked into the hole in its stomach, Relinquished glowed with energy. (2000 ATK)
Toon Dark Magician Girl appeared on the left-wing of Relinquished she was stuck there.
'Dark Valkyria take out Toon Cannon Soldier!' Geno shouted.
'Fawful activates Toon Defense!' He shouted and his Trap card spun around, the attack of Dark Valkyria was redirected to Fawful.
'And Spirit Barrier!' Fawful shouted and a red barrier appeared around him the attack was blocked by it.
'So I was right, in that case I end my turn.' Geno said.
'You Fink-Rats cannot harm me! Fawful is immortal!' He shouted as he drew his card.
'Fawful Summons the Toon Gemini Elf!' He shouted and the two elves sisters appeared they looked at Geno, blushed and giggled.
'Fawful sacrifices all of his monsters for Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon!'
The Elven sisters and Toon Cannon Soldier disappeared.
In a burst of smoke a smaller and much more cute version of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared. (3000 ATK)
'Since Fawful's dragon cannot attack Fawful ends his turn.' Fawful said.
'Fawful I shall show you a real monster.' Geno said.
'I sacrifice Relinquished for the real Dark Magician Girl!' In an explosion of petals the real Dark Magician Girl appeared she looked angry at Fawful. (2000- 2300 ATK)
'Then the portal appeared and she disappeared.
'Now my Monster Reborn!' Geno shouted and Relinquished appeared again. (0 ATK)
The staff of Skilled Dark Magician glowed bright now.
'Also three Spell cards have been played so I Tribute Skilled Dark Magician for the real one!'
Skilled Dark Magician disappeared and the regular Dark Magician leapt onto the field. (2500 ATK)
'And by Tributing Relinquished he also got rid of Toon Dark Magician Girl so I can absorb another monster!' Geno shouted and this time Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon was absorbed by the monster. (3000 ATK)
The barrier around Fawful disappeared.
'Go Dark Valkyria!' Geno shouted and Dark Valkyria fired her attack Fawful staggered back a bit.
(Fawful: 5200) - (Geno: 5000)
'Now you've done it you made Fawful mad!' Fawful shouted, immediately the air was charged with a strange sense.
'Fawful activates Shadow Toon you lose Life Points equal to the Attack Points of Relinquished!' Fawful shouted and a Spell card appeared it shot a beam at Geno who screamed on impact, his clothes were ripped smoke came from his shoulders.
(Fawful: 5200) - (Geno: 2000)
'Mystical Space Typhoon!' Fawful shouted and the tornado appeared ripping Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon out of Relinquished. (0 ATK)
'Fawful activates Monster Reborn!' Fawful shouted and Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon reappeared on his side. (3000 ATK)
'Turn end.'
Geno drew his card.
The portal opened and Dark Magician Girl reappeared. (2000 ATK)
'I must pass.' Geno said.
'I have FURY!' Fawful shouted.
'Finish it Toon Dragon! For this attack Fawful pays 500 Life Points not that it matters!'
Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon flexed his muscles they grew bigger then exploded like little volcanoes, the dragon grinned and rushed in to attack.
'I still have a facedown card!' Geno shouted everyone had forgotten about the card he hat set.
'Go Spellbinding Circle!' Geno shouted and Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon was caught inside the pentagram.
(Fawful: 4700) - (Geno: 2000)
'Fawful set this card and end his turn.' Fawful said and a reversed card appeared.
Geno drew his card.
'Time to bring this Duel to an end.' Geno said.
'I use the effect of Relinquished!' He shouted and Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon was absorbed by the monster again. (3000 ATK)
'Now I sacrifice Relinquished, Dark Valkyria and Dark Magician Girl!' Geno shouted.
The sky turned dark two gigantic hands grabbed the three monsters.
'Come forth Obelisk the Tormentor!' Geno shouted and the huge Egyptian God appeared on the field. (4000 ATK)
'Obelisk isn't affected by either of your cards, so attack him directly!' Obelisk threw his punch.
'Mirror Force!' Fawful shouted the barrier appeared but only Dark Magician was destroyed Obelisk continued his attack and Fawful was toppled over.
(Fawful: 700) - (Geno: 2000)
Fawful slowly stood up he brushed off his clothes.
'Fawful has pain!' He shouted drawing his card.
'Fawful plays Monster Reincarnation!' Fawful discarded the one card he had, he took one from his Graveyard.
'Fawful summons the Toon Gemini Elf!'
With a puff of smoke the two giggling elven twins appeared on the Field again. (1900 ATK)
'That ends Fawful's turn.' Fawful said.
Geno drew his card, he looked over his hand.
'Attacking with Obelisk is useless, the effects of Toon Defense does not target Obelisk it only redirect his attack, Spirit Barrier affects only Fawful.'
Fawful let out a laugh. 'You Fink-Rats see you stand no chance! I have CHORTLES! Chortles of FURY!'
Geno shook his head.
'Fawful's tactics blocked the mighty Egyptian God!'
'So that's it!' Geno shouted everyone looked in surprise at Geno.
'A setup, someone set Fawful up to this, that is why he was not surprised of Obelisk when I summoned him, he knew I had the God in my Deck.'
Fawful did not reply.
'Fine I'll find out what is going on later, for now I Summon Gagaga Girl!' Geno shouted and the young female Spellcaster appeared. (1000 ATK)
The vortex of Future Vision opened and she was sucked into it.
Fawful swiped the top card from his Deck.
'Toon Gemini Elf attack!' He shouted and one of the twins blew a kiss at Geno she giggled the second disappeared and reappeared wearing a huge mallet in her hands, Geno screamed as he was smacked on the head again.
(Fawful: 700) - (Geno: 100)
Then the first of the twins appeared in front of Geno, she took a card from his hand and discarded it.
'You lost and Fawful won! I have victory!'
Geno chuckled.
'On your next turn you could win with a direct attack, but there will be no next turn.'
'What?' Fawful gasped.
'This!' Geno shouted and the portal opened Gagaga Girl appeared again. (1000 ATK)
'Now I play Dark Magic Curtain!' Geno shouted his Life Points were cut in half and Gagaga Magician appeared from behind the black curtains. (1500 ATK)
'Obelisk finish it!' Geno shouted.
Obelisk grabbed both Spellcasters and took their energy then he threw in his mighty fist, first crushing the Toon Gemini Elf together with Toon World and the Spirit Barrier, the panels of Future Vision also got wiped out, the area changed back to normal.
Fawful saw the huge fists coming for him he let out a scream before he was launched by Obelisk he got caught by Ruby.
(Fawful: 0) - (Geno: 50)
From the shadows the masked figure was watching the Duel, when Obelisk moved in for his final attack he chuckled.
'And so it ends ah ha ha ha ha, they truly are a force to be reckoned with, the one I'm looking for is on his way, time to step to the front for the ultimate show!'
Ruby placed Fawful on the ground she sighted.
'See Fawful all that revenge is not good for you.' She muttered.
Simon was looking at Mario and Geno.
'Now what?' He asked.
'Beats me, coming here was not my idea, Fawful got talked into it by that masked man, I'd say we take Fawful and retreat.' Ruby said.
'Right.' Simon said and he lifted Fawful from the ground.
'You haven't won, we'll meet again.' Ruby said and they stepped into a flying machine that stood there on the roof, it had been cloaked before.
Simon and Ruby stepped into the vehicle and they lift off.
The masked man was watching.
'Killing them by blowing up their vehicle, it costs me to much to do such a useless thing.
Geno swayed on his legs for a bit, Mario had fixed the generators and the lights in the hospital turned on again.
'Geno are you alright?' Rozalin ask she sounded worried.
'No I am not.' Geno said with a soft voice.
'His Psychic powers were huge like he had a device that could enhance it, must have been his Duel Disk.' Geno said.
Suddenly Geno gasped and fell to the ground.
'He passed out.' Bowser said the moment he checked Geno.
'I shall bring him to a hospital bed.' Bowser lifted Geno over his shoulder and carried him back inside the hospital.
Next time:
Mario: So who was behind Fawful's attack?
?: That would be me.
Mario: And who might you be?
?: Ah ha ha ha ha ha! I let you in the dark like a lamp who refuses to burn in a pitch-black cave.
Frogfucius: Everyone stand back, this masked man is the last member of the Trinity!
?: And so the main man of my act arrives. This will be the ultimate show!
