While the bombs from New Domino had been taken care of, Glen was still determined to at least do something to Crystal City's base. As such, he pressed on ahead when he saw two explosions go off away from the battlefield at the same time.

'So Aadil and Drake failed,' he thought, 'No matter, I didn't really need them for my plan anyway. Little to they know what I really have in store.'

He then noticed a big blue mech flying toward him as he stared with confusion. Sure, it was a different colour, but it looked almost exactly like Emma's mech, the one that had been destroyed. No, there was just no way it could be that mech.

However, he did feel rather alarmed when he read the mech's stats and saw that it had eighty-one hundred vitality. Sure, his mech had eighty-three hundred, but more than six thousand was rare for even the most expensive of mechs.

With this in mind, he knew he would have to avoid facing this one if his plan was to work, but there was now way Damien would let him pass when he saw him. He may not have known exactly what mech Glen would pilot, but he recognized its shoulder and chest pieces anywhere and as such, the man figured this must be him.

When he saw the black mech take to the sky, he immediately pursued only for Glen to pass right by him with a smirk on his face. It seemed his plan had worked as everyone else was too distracted to go after him.

No, there was no way Damien would lose this chance. With that in mind, he set his rocket thrusters to full gear, a gear higher than any other mech had ever been able to achieve. He flew toward Glen for half-a-minute until he was closed enough, the man hitting the 'engage' button as the orbs flew out and stopped between the two.

Glen let out a groan as the sphere formed around them, Damien asking, "Tell me, are you Glen?"

"Yes, I am," the general replied, "Honestly, I'm surprised. I would have expected Morgan to come after me," the black-haired man replying, "Yeah, well, I think she mistook one of your other soldiers for you."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot I'd given Taylor my old mech," Glen replied, "But how did you figure I was in this one? Did you not jump to the same conclusion?" Damien replying, "I just had a feeling. Who else would pilot a mech with over eight thousand vitality?"

"I can't say that's the best logic, but you're just a mere soldier," the man remarked, Damien saying, "Actually, I'm more than just some old soldier. I'm Emma's son."

Glen's eyes went wide, his jaw dropped. This could not have been any worse for him. Not only was he facing the son of Crystal City's former general but her old mech had been replaced by a significantly stronger one.

Even so, the man shook his head and remarked, "That hardly matters. I don't care who you are. No one is going to stop me, so make your first move already so I can show you why I'm the general of New Domino!"

Damien shrugged and looked over his cards. He saw only a few good options as he summoned a monster in defence mode and ended his turn.

"That's it?" Glen remarked with a smirk, "I expected better from Emma's son, but oh well."

After his first draw, the man started his turn with a field spell called 'Necrovalley'. Damien blinked as a mountainous region formed within the sphere, Glen stating, "Just to let you know, when Necrovalley is in play, monsters in the graveyard can only be effected by their own effects. That means if you want to revive a monster with something like, say, Monster Reborn, it won't work."

'Damn,' Damien thought with a frown, 'A lot of my victories have relied on me using that card. But no matter. I'm sure I can handle it.'

Though what Glen did next was rather shocking. Rather than choosing a monster who he could attack with, he summoned a monster of his own in defence mode. He then placed one card face-down in his spell zone and ended his turn.

"Alright, go ahead," he said with a smirk, "Show me what you got."

As Damien drew his next card, he noticed one of his monsters was 'Twinheaded Beast'. However, he remembered what happened the last time he tried to use this monster and for all he knew, Glen might have a way to counter this. After all, it was rather suspicious that he chose to play a monster in defence mode as opposed to using this opportunity to attack.

With that in mind, the man summoned 'Fire Kraken' to the field and flipped his face-down monster into attack mode. This monster was a yellow tank with a human torso named 'Guardian of the Throne Room' and he had an attack power of sixteen hundred and fifty.

"I'll admit, that's not a bad monster to start with," Glen said as he revealed his face-down card. This was a trap known as 'Coffin Seller', and when he activated it, a man in a dark-purple cloak appeared and sat on top of the card while coffins surrounded him.

"What does that do?" Damien asked as Glen explained, "I'm very glad you asked. See, every time a monster is sent to the graveyard, you take in three hundred damage to your vitality. So if you destroy my face-down monster, well, guess what'll happen."

"If I still had my mother's mech, I'd be slightly worried," Damien remarked, "but I'm not going to let that get to me," Glen all the while thinking, 'Oh, you will.'

With that in mind, Damien had his Guardian send a missile from his back toward the defending monster. However, he had even more of a reason to worry when the monster in question was revealed to be a deformed human man with red skin, visible veins all over his body, a black vest, green pants and a collar-like helmet strapped to his head. This was 'Newdoria' and he had an attack power of twelve hundred.

But while he also had a meagre defence of eight hundred, thus making him easy pickings, Damien would soon realize how this could possibly get worse when the missiles turned his body to ash. Though that would have to wait as the man in the cloak held up his hand and transferred a sphere of energy from Damien's mech, placing it in one of the coffins. This reduced the man's vitality to seventy-eight hundred as he frowned.

"By the way, it doesn't end there," Glen said as suddenly, Newdoria's hands rose up from under Fire Kraken and pulled the octopus under, Damien's eyes widening a little bit when his vitality dropped to seventy-five hundred.

"When Newdoria is destroyed, he takes an opponent with him," Glen explained, "I would have taken your Guardian, but if I had, your kraken would have attacked me directly and I simply couldn't allow that."

Winston and Celeste had just finished a duel with one of Crystal City's soldiers when they noticed Damien's mech going up against Glen's. Both blinked as Winston said, "Well, I feel sorry for the Crystal City sucker who challenged our boss."

"Oh yes," Celeste replied, "I imagine this will end rather quickly."

It seemed like their prediction might be true as Damien had nothing left to use. As such, he ended his turn and sighed, "Well, let's see what else you got in store."

"Yes, let's give this a go, shall we?" Glen asked with a smirk as he summoned a thin robot. This monster had a yellow upper body and a blue sphere as its lower body. Its feet, hands, knees, elbows, shoulders and even its face were all drills. This was 'Drillago' and it had an attack power of sixteen hundred.

"What the hell is that supposed to accomplish?" Damien asked with a look of confusion, "Your monster is clearly weaker than mine."

"True, but his effect makes it all worth it," Glen remarked with a smirk, "Sure, I run the risk of losing a bit of vitality next turn, but for nineteen hundred damage to you, it's worth it."

"Nineteen hundred?" Damien remarked as the robot rushed forward, swerving past Guardian of the Throne Room and striking the blue mech hard, its vitality now reduced to fifty-nine hundred.

'I get it now,' Damien thought, 'He means Drillago's attack combined with the damage dealt to me when I destroy him. Well, he's got another thing coming.'

"Did that catch you off-guard?" Glen asked with a smirk, "See, if the only monsters on your side of the field are face-up monsters with sixteen hundred attack points or more, Drillago can attack you directly. True, I've left myself open, but it was truly worth it."

But as Damien drew his next card, he took a deep breath and thought, 'You might think it was worth it, but it's not. You're going to take in more damage than you expected.'

"I was going to use this last turn, but I was suspicious of your face-down monster," Damien said with a serious look in his eyes, "It's good to know I made the right choice."

With that, his mech used its three claws to slice Guardian open. A cloud of smoke then formed around him as he was soon replaced by the centaur with two burning lion heads, 'Twinheaded Beast'.

Glen stared in stunned silence as he uttered, "Not bad," the lion sending a fireball into Drillago. The robot melted into nothing as a bit of the fire touched the general's mech, reducing his vitality to eighty-two hundred.

Once again, Coffin Seller took vitality from Damien's mech, lowering it to fifty-six hundred. Even so, the black-haired man ignored this as his Twinheaded Beast sent a second fireball into Glen's mech. This brought his vitality down to sixty-five hundred. But even with the damage, the general took a deep breath and chose to ignore this. After all, he still had the upper hand and despite being level six, Damien's monster could be beaten with ease as long as Glen had the right monsters, and he had just the right one in store.

As he drew his next card, he grinned wickedly and said, "Time to show you the true brilliance of Necrovalley," Damien's eyes widening as the general proceeded to summon a man dressed in a black cloak and wielding a spear. This was 'Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier' and he had an attack power of fifteen hundred.

Damien was rather confused until he noticed the man's power rise to two thousand, Damien staring in confusion as Glen explained, "Necrovalley increases the attack and defence of all Gravekeeper's monsters by five hundred. And just so you know, I've got quite a few of those in my deck."

Damien gulped as the man added another card to the field, a spell called 'Temple of Kings'. Damien was about to ask what this did, but Glen already saw that question coming as he stated, "In case you're wondering, this spell allows me to activate all trap cards on the turn I set them, regardless of what rules surround them."

Damien felt fortunate that the general had no trap cards to set, but it did not change the fact that he was still in trouble. Spear Soldier rushed at Twinheaded Beast and pierced the centaur with his spear, removing it after a few seconds and allowing the monster to fall on his side and sink into the floor. The man then proceeded to jab his spear into Damien's mech as his vitality dropped to fifty-three hundred. And thanks to Glen's trap, it went down to five thousand seconds later.

"Well, that was invigorating," Glen said with a smirk, "Let's see what you got for me now."

When Damien drew his next card, his eyes went wide. As it just so happened, two particular cards Damien had held onto since his first turn were 'Polymerization' and a monster named 'Elemental Hero Clayman'. And right now, he had just drawn 'Sparkman'. To make things even better, both of these monsters could be fused to create the one fusion monster Damien had not yet used.

As such, he wasted no time as he activated his spell, Glen's eyes widening as both heroes emerged from Damien's hand. Clayman latched himself to Sparkman as the electricity from the electric hero turned his body yellow. His head then relocated to Sparkman's belly and became a big blue gem while his body became a wide, yellow suit of armour. Sparkman's pants also became purple and thus the fusion was complete. The two had combined to form 'Elemental Hero Thunder Giant' and this monster had an attack power of twenty-four hundred.

'That's right, Emma's deck contains elemental heroes and fusion monsters,' Glen thought, 'I just hope this man doesn't choose to use his special effect.'

However, it seemed Damien was way ahead of him as he sent a card to his graveyard, Thunder Giant raising his arms as an orb of lightning formed between his hands. He then hurled the orb into Spear Soldier as he passed out from the resulting electric shock, sinking into the floor.

Of course, Damien's vitality dropped to forty-seven hundred as a result, but this was a small price to pay as he said, "Oh yeah, I still have a normal summon, don't I?"

With that in mind, the man proceeded to summon 'Elemental Hero Burstinatrix'. This was a woman with long silver hair and a golden war helmet atop her head. She also wore red spandex around her torso, legs and feet and had two red gloves covering her forearms and her attack power was twelve hundred.

"You may be tough, but I have the deck of the greatest soldier who ever lived," Damien stated with a serious look in his eyes, "And what's more, I know how to use it now."

Glen gritted his teeth and grunted, "Arrogant little prick," while Thunder Giant sent an electric punch into the general's mech. This reduced his vitality to forty-one hundred while Burstinatrix sent two blasts of fire into the black mech as well, Glen's vitality now at twenty-nine hundred.

He could not believe it. His mech had vastly superior vitality and power. How could Damien already be so close to defeating it? Things had been going so well, too.

But as the man drew his next card, his eyes went wide as he thought, 'Yes, I can use this.'

As such, Glen activated 'Pot of Greed' thus allowing him to draw two cards. His next two cards he just knew would be able to help him and as such, he placed both of them face-down in his spell zone. But one particular trap Glen could not wait to use as he activated it. And thanks to his Temple of Kings, he could get away with this.

Damien blinked and asked, "Oh no, what is that?" and he had all the reason to worry.

The trap in question was called 'Nightmare Wheel' and its effect would soon be made clear as a big metal wheel attached to the mouth of a demon skull appeared behind Thunder Giant. Suddenly, a spiked brace came from the middle of the wheel and latched itself to the hero's waist, locking him in place. And soon, his arms and legs were bound to the wheel as well.

"I now present to you one of my favourite cards," Glen said, "It's not a monster but it's so effective. Not only can you not attack with Thunder Giant or change his battle position, but during each of my standby phases, you take five hundred damage to your vitality."

At this moment, Morgan had dealt with another soldier in this general area when she noticed this. Her eyes went wide as she could not help but worry. She could tell, even without having heard the conversations up to this point, that this was Glen's new mech and right now, Damien seemed to be in a tight spot.

And it only got worse when Glen summoned another man in a black cloak, only this man had a staff shaped like a cane. This was 'Gravekeeper's Curse' and he had an attack power of eight hundred. Though thanks to Necrovalley, that was increased to thirteen hundred.

But the fact that this weak monster could destroy Burstinatrix was not the worst he had to offer for when he took form, he sent a blast of magic into Damien's mech. This brought his vitality down to forty-two hundred as he growled.

"Oh yes, that's right," Glen said with a smirk, "Gravekeeper's Curse inflicts five hundred damage to my opponent when he's summoned in face-up position."

And it was only about to get worse as the spellcaster proceeded to send a blast of magic into Burstinatrix. The woman cried out in pain as her body dissolved into nothing, the magic then striking Damien's mech and dropping his vitality to forty-one hundred. And it only got worse as it was reduced to thirty-eight hundred thanks to Coffin Seller.

"DAMIEN!" Morgan spat as she flew over, the black-haired man turning to face her as he said, "Oh, I see you won your duel, ma'am."

"Oh my god, Damien, I should be the one fighting this guy!" the woman exclaimed as Glen laughed and said, "You're too late, Morgan. I didn't realize giving my old mech to Taylor would help me out so well, to be honest. And by the looks of it, you shouldn't be fighting me anyway."

As much as Morgan hated to admit it, Glen was right. After all, Taylor had reduced her vitality to thirteen hundred. As if that was not bad enough, the opponent she had just defeated dealt five hundred damage to her, so now her vitality was eight hundred. She was in no position to face someone as powerful as Glen.

And at this moment, Cindy noticed this duel as well and it was not long until many others could see it. After all, Glen and Damien's duel was the only one taking place in the air, so it was certainly hard to miss. In fact, many soldiers had stopped fighting just so they could watch this.

Scarlet could barely make out the two mechs from where she was as she thought, 'I need to be there,' the woman ignoring the New Domino soldiers and flying toward the area. She had to be by Damien's side to give him confidence at the very least.

Drake and his friends could see all of this from where they were as well, Drake thinking, 'Glen seems to be dominating now. Perhaps we'll have nothing to worry about after all,' Taylor and Katherine both cheering the man on loudly while Aadil and Angela were more like Drake, just watching quietly.

"Look, Morgan, I'm sure I can handle this," Damien said with a sigh, "I know it might seem hopeless right now, but I can't just sit around and let Glen succeed. It's like you said, this man cannot be allowed to win this war."

Morgan nodded and sighed, "Alright, but I'm staying nearby to make sure things go well. If you fail, I'll try to finish what you started."

Damien nodded and had his mech give her thumbs up as he drew his next card, Glen rolling his eyes and groaning, "Okay, can you just go already? I'm getting bored waiting for you."

"Yeah, yeah, hold your horses," Damien remarked as he looked over his cards.

The only monster in his hand was 'Elemental Hero Avian', but on the upside, he had just drawn his own 'Pot of Greed'. As such, the man wasted no time as he activated it without a moment's hesitation.

One of the cards he had drawn was 'Silver Bow and Arrow'. Unfortunately, he had no way to make use of this just yet, but the other card he drew could help him. With that in mind, he summoned Avian in defence mode and set his other card face-down in the spell zone.

With his turn over, Glen smirked as his Nightmare Wheel turned around. Thunder Giant's body scraped against the bottom of the sphere as blood flew from his mouth and into Damien's mech. This brought his vitality down to thirty-three hundred as he grimaced and thought, 'This had better work.'

As Glen drew his next card, his smirk remained as he said, "Well, well, well, it seems your good fortune really has run out."

With this in mind, the man had his mech take hold of Gravekeeper's Curse. With its mighty grip, it crushed the man's head in as his corpse fell to the floor of the sphere, a cloud of smoke forming around him as a demon took his place. This demon was blue and had multiple bat wings coming out of various parts of his body. Each of his pink hands had three claws and he had two long necks with snake-like heads attached to them. This demon was 'Legendary Fiend' and he had an attack power of fifteen hundred.

Damien stared silently and asked, "I'm confused. How is such a weak monster level six?" Morgan explaining, "It's because it gains seven hundred attack points during each of his standby phases."

"That's right," Glen replied with a grin, "You know how this card works," Morgan remarking, "I'm a general. I have to know these things."

And of course things would only get worse as the demon flew toward Avian, revealing the winged hero. Since Avian only had one thousand defence points, he was easy pickings as both snake heads bit into his shoulders. Avian cried out in pain while the main head bit into his face.

After a few seconds, Avian was released from the demon's hold as he sank into the floor. And as was expected, Damien's vitality dropped to three thousand.

However, it seemed the black-haired man had another plan as he revealed his trap card, Glen's eyes going wide as the trap in question was revealed to be 'Chthonian Blast'. A huge explosion rose up from under the fiend as his body burnt into ash while rocks flew into each mech. Glen's mech went down to twenty-one hundred and fifty while Damien's was reduced to twenty-two hundred and fifty. Unfortunately, due to the fact that a monster had been sacrificed for this to work, that number dropped to nineteen hundred and fifty, but even so, Glen was defenceless now.

Morgan grinned and exclaimed, "YEAH! WAY TO GO, DAMIEN!" the black-haired man taking a deep breath and saying, "You know what this means, right?"

"It doesn't mean a thing!" Glen retorted as he revealed the second trap he had set earlier. The card in question was known as 'Metal Reflect Slime', Morgan's eyes wide with shock as a spiky blob made from liquid metal emerged. It had no attack points, but its defence was three thousand. There was no way Damien could possibly destroy this monster, and with Nightmare Wheel still in effect, this was not a good sign.
