Ratchet: As you can see, you're all surrounded. Why not just give up and admit defeat?
Draco: Not a chance, you glorified bike officer.
Ratchet: You better watch who you're talking to.
Ace: I think we all know who we're talkin' to. We're talkin' to a lowly officer who arrests smart young Duelists.
Nakahara: And someone who cheated his way into Commissioner.
Iris: The promotion isn't important.
Nakahara: I disagree.
Yuto: Shut up.
Ratchet: Actually, you're talking to the man who's going to send you all straight to the Facility.
?, a man with effeminate legs and arms, appearing from the DSB Officers: Not just yet. I still have some unfinished business to tend to.
Draco: Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in and clawed on all over.
?: Very funny, go ahead and laugh all you want. I'll wipe that stupid smirk off of your arrogant face.
Draco: Not likely, hairball.
Yuto: I don't know if this guy is a roadblock or a Duel Rook.
Iris: Same.
Snake: What he is is Schrodinger, and he's as cruel as Ratchet himself.
Schrodinger: Oh, come now, Kurosawa. You don't know how great this feels to have this miracle occur.
Nakahara: What are you talking about, alley cat?
Schrodinger: I did this. Crafty Schrodinger did this. And it all took a little false accusations and falsifications of evidence in order to make Ratchet the villain.
This shocked all present but Schrodinger, who shot out what appeared to be a web. The DSB Officers and Ratchet were trapped by said web and struggled to get out, but their efforts were in vain.
Ratchet: You filth! You got me promoted for this?!
Schrodinger, in front of Ratchet, and then Draco after: Don't think I'm not onto you, old man. What you are is selfish. I did nothing but sacrifice, while you just bossed me around like you were my father. Well, I'm the boss now. Scratch that; I was the boss from the get go, while you were merely a worthless pawn that I can just throw away. And as for you Draco, don't try and deny the fact that you took those wretched brats under your roof.
Draco: Why would I deny that? They're all I have left after my parents died. That and my Deck. I literally had to Duel in order to survive and live.
Ace: Ain't survivin' an' livin' 2 different things?
Snake: No. Surviving involves continuing to exist, while living means existing.
Morgan and Megan: We're their siblings! You can't take that from us!
Schrodinger: We'll see about that.
Draco, Duel Disk activated, blade near Schrodinger's face: I would advise leaving them be. You're Dueling against me, and if I win, they're freed, and I'm including the officers as well. Also, you're turning yourself in for the accusations, falsifications and arrests of talented young Duelists such as Yuto and Iris.
Schrodinger: Fine, but if I win, you're all going to the Facility for life.
Draco: Not likely to happen, fish breath.
Schrodinger, activating his Duel Disk, which is made out of valuable jewels: We'll see, dead man.
Both players started off with 8000 Life Points and 5 cards each.
Schrodinger: Dead men go last.
Draco: Thanks for the first turn.
Schrodinger, sarcastically: Classy.
Draco: I Summon Fabled Ashenveil, Set 1 card face-down and end my turn.
Schrodinger: That's it? I think it's time a real Monster came into existence. I play Block Attack to switch your Monster into Defense Mode, and then I Summon Transforming Sphere.
He then summons a bird-like creature with a green orb in its hands.
(Transforming Sphere, Lvl 3, ATK 100, DEF 100, Wind, Winged Beast)
Yuto: I heard of that card. I don't like the looks of this.
Snake: It's 100 Attack and Defense Points.
Iris: He means its effect, not original strength.
Schrodinger: Now for its effect, by discarding Troposphere, I can Equip Transforming Sphere with your Monster, and it gains said Monster's Attack Points, but don't worry. You'll get it back when I'm done with my turn. I'm a fair man.
Fabled Ashenveil was turned into energy, and the orb absorbed said energy.
Transforming Sphere ATK: 100-1700
Schrodinger: Next, I play Monster Reborn to bring back Troposphere.
He then summons an armored humanoid avian with blue skin and feathers.
(Troposphere, Lvl 6, ATK 2400, DEF 2000, Wind, Winged Beast)
Draco: Not so fast. I activate A Hero Emerges. Now you must select 1 card in my hand, and if it's a Monster, I can Summon it.
Schrodinger: Far right.
Draco: Excellent choice. For me. I Special Summon The Fabled Rubyruda.
Schrodinger: A Monster with only 1100 Attack Points. A shame it has to end. Troposphere, attack his only defense with Skydive Slaughter Slash.
Draco: I activate The Fabled Rubyruda's effect. By discarding a Fabled Monster, I can negate your attack. I discard Fabled Soulkius.
Schrodinger: Very well, I'll attack with Transforming Sphere. Destroy his only card with Aerial Assault Attack.
Draco: You never learn. I discard Fabled Lurrie to negate the attack and Special Summon him via his effect.
Schrodinger: Since Transforming Sphere attacked, it's switched to Defense Mode. Before I end my turn, I activate The Big Cattle Drive to draw a card for each Winged Beast I have, and then I place 2 cards face-down.
Draco: And with the end of your turn, Fabled Ashenveil returns to my field. Now I Summon Fabled Topi. Now I tune my Level 1 Fabled Topi and Fabled Lurrie, and Level 4 Fabled Ashenveil with The Fabled Rubyruda, a Level 4.
Schrodinger: I activate the Trap Card, Discord. With this card, we can't Synchro Summon for 3 turns.
Draco: I place 2 cards face-down and end my turn.
Schrodinger: Smart choice. I activate Graceful Charity to draw 3 cards, and then discard 2. Now I banish the Transforming Sphere and Troposphere on my field, and the Sphere of Chaos in my Graveyard to Special Summon The Atmosphere.
He then summons what appears to be an advanced form of Transforming Sphere. However, it is a 4-winged avian holding a clear green orb in its talons, lacking any arms.
(The Atmosphere, Lvl 8, ATK 1000, DEF 800, Wind, Winged Beast)
Yuto: I don't like the looks of this.
Iris: Me neither.
Snake: Are you blind? It's only got 1000 Attack Points and 800 Defense Points.
Ace: And an effect similar to that first Monster he Summoned, only more powerful.
Schrodinger: I activate The Atmosphere's effect. Once per turn, I can target any of your face-up Monsters on the field and Equip it to this beautiful bird forever. Also, it gains the Attack and Defense Points of said targeted card. The only card worth using is the very card I absorbed before.
Ace: Told ya.
Fabled Ashenveil was turned into energy and was absorbed into the orb.
The Atmosphere ATK: 1000-2600
The Atmosphere DEF: 800-2000
Schrodinger: Your late parents left that Deck for you in vain. I can clearly hear their last breaths coming from these cards.
Draco: The only thing you hear is your own voice. I activate Disarmament, destroying Fabled Ashenveil and freeing him overall.
Schrodinger: Very well. I attack your weakest card. Airborne Atrocity Attack.
Draco: I activate Staunch Defender. Now your creature must attack The Fabled Rubyruda instead.
The avian and The Fabled Rubyruda clashed, and at the end of the clash, the latter returned to its master while the former exploded.
Schrodinger: 8000-7900
Draco: I don't need Synchro Monsters to defeat you. I send 2 cards from my hand to the Graveyard to revive Fabled Soulkius. Next, I sacrifice The Fabled Rubyruda to Summon Fabled Dianaira. And now to create an Overlay Network using Fabled Lurrie and Fabled Topi to Xyz Summon 1 of the most powerful magicians, yet the laziest of them as well. I Summon the Slacker Magician in Defense Mode!
The 2 Fabled Monsters disappeared into a black hole, and then a white hole opened, and from it came a beautiful, yet lazy and unmotivated, female magician surrounded by 2 yellow orbs.
(Slacker Magician, Rank 1, ATK 200, DEF 2100, Light, Spellcaster, Xyz)
Draco: Don't be fooled by her frail appearance. Once per turn, she can't be destroyed by battle, and she also has an effect I can use on anyone's turn.
Schrodinger: Please. The name of that card can automatically prove that it's nothing more than a slacker.
Draco: Yes, but she's a magician as well. Despite not doing anything productive and remaining in her room, practicing magic, she has a unique power that she keeps dormant. A defensive mechanism, if you will. I'll just leave everything else as is.
Nakahara: Yuto, you have a clue what it does?
Yuto: If that card's targeted by an effect, an Overlay Unit can be used against it.
Iris: I just hope he can use that card wisely.
Schrodinger: I play Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards. And since you have 2 or more Monsters of the same Attribute, in your case, it's Light, I can Special Summon Alector, Sovereign of Birds from my hand.
He then summons an armored humanoid avian with red wings.
(Alector, Sovereign of Birds, Lvl 6, ATK 2400, DEF 2000, Wind, Winged Beast)
Schrodinger: Next, I Summon Night's End Sorcerer.
He then summoned a magician with the powers of darkness that wields a scythe and has bats accompanying him.
(Night's End Sorcerer, Lvl 2, ATK 1300, DEF 400, Dark, Spellcaster, Tuner)
Schrodinger: Now to play Heavy Storm to destroy these pesky Spells and Traps.
A destructive wind shattered all Spells and Traps like glass.
Schrodinger: Now to synchronize Night's End Sorcerer and Alector, Sovereign of Birds.
Nakahara: Oh, no!
Ace: Somethin' wrong?
Nakahara: Schrodinger has a card that's so powerful that it can actually harm Draco!
Snake: And the downside is?
Nakahara: It can harm Draco!
Schrodinger: I call forth a being of pure darkness and a heart as black as evil, and offer your life as the sacrifice when you fall. Show these fools the true meaning of suffering and bleed them dry, Blood Mefist.
Yuto, Iris, Snake, Ace, Morgan, Megan, and Ratchet, in shock: Blood Mefist?!
He then summons a gentleman-like specter in 19th Century clothing. It has no legs, wields a staff with a skull on the top, has paling skin, and its power radiates with blood.
(Blood Mefist, Lvl 8, ATK 2800, DEF 1300, Dark, Fiend, Synchro)
Schrodinger: Blood Mefist, attack Fabled Soulkius. Rancid Rush.
The specter spewed out acidic blood from its mouth, which dissolved Fabled Soulkius completely. Some of it burned part of Draco's jacket's sleeve.
Draco: 8000-7400
Schrodinger: I'll end with 1 card face-down and end there, and since it's your turn, you lose 300 Life Points for every card on your field.
The specter fired plasma balls from its hand at Draco, which were 3 feet in length and radius each. It was enough to blast off the burnt sleeve and scratch him and his clothing.
Draco: 7400-6500
Schrodinger: Like I said, your cards were given to you in vain.
Draco: We'll see what will be in vain. First, I'll Set 3 cards face-down.
Schrodinger: Shows how much you learn. Whenever you Set a Spell or Trap, you lose 300 Life Points.
The specter fired another 3 plasma balls at Draco, further scratching him.
Draco: 6500-5600
Schrodinger: This card is the ultimate tool of your destruction, Draco. Why not just give up and join your parents?
Draco: Even if they were with me, they would never want me to give up. It's still my turn, and I attack with Fabled Dianaira, which will cancel out the attack due to the fact that he and Blood Mefist have the same Attack Points of 2800.
Schrodinger: I think not. The cat's out of the bag now. I activate Fighting Spirit, and for every Monster you have, Blood Mefist gains 300 Attack Points.
Blood Mefist ATK: 2800-3400
Fabled Dianaira was about to attack, but the specter spewed acidic blood to dissolve its foe to nothing. It also fell on Draco's jacket's other sleeve, damaging it further.
Draco: 5600-5000
Schrodinger: My turn, and I activate Allure of Darkness to draw 2 cards and banish Spear Cretin. Then, I Summon the Summoner Monk in Defense Mode.
He then summons an old monk.
(Summoner Monk, Lvl 4, ATK 800, DEF 1600, Dark, Spellcaster)
Schrodinger: Now, I discard the Spell Card, Dark Hole, to let me Special Summon a Level 4 Monster from my Deck, compliments of Summoner Monk. I Special Summon Battlestorm.
With the monk using an ancient chant, he then summons a humanoid avian with black feathers.
(Battlestorm, Lvl 4, ATK 1700, DEF 1000, Dark, Winged Beast)
Schrodinger: And now, I use Shrink and Inferno Reckless Summon to call 2 more of these marvelous birds. And I mean everything when I say "marvelous" because every Winged Beast makes it 100 Attack Points stronger, and 3 or more of said Winged Beasts lets me destroy a Spell or Trap you control once per turn, or thrice per turn in the case of 3 Battlestorms, but I only need once, so say goodbye to that worthless face-down.
The avian humanoids flapped their wings and sent a destructive whirlwind at the face-down Mirror Force, shattering it.
Schrodinger: Now with an Overlay Network complete, I can use these vessels to Xyz Summon the One-Eyed Skill Gainer.
The 3 avian creatures disappeared into a black hole, and from a white hole appeared a swordsman with 1 eye, wearing a mask on its face. Also, it should be noted that this swordsman is merely a shell of armor. It was surrounded by 3 yellow orbs.
(One-Eyed Skill Gainer, Rank 4, ATK 2500, DEF 2600, Light, Warrior, Xyz)
Schrodinger: Now your Slacker Magician can't help itself. One-Eyed Skill gainer, attack.
Draco: I activate Astral Barrier to protect her and take the hit.
Schrodinger: Your funeral.
The swordsman slashed at Draco, destroying his jacket completely.
Draco: 5000-2500
Schrodinger: Now for Blood Mefist to destroy you with Rancid Rush.
Draco: Wrong answer, hairball. I activate the Trap Card, Confusion Chaff, so now your Monsters will fight each other.
Several tags appear on the specter, and said specter spewed out acidic blood at the suit of armor, dissolving it to nothing.
Schrodinger: 7900-7600
Schrodinger: No matter. I still have the lead. And since it's your turn again, Blood Mefist will strike you with 300 Life Points of damage per card.
The specter fired 2 more plasma balls at Draco, which shredded part of his shirt.
Draco: 2500-1900
Draco: I activate the Spell Card, Storm, to destroy my Astral Barrier and to destroy Spells and Traps equal to the amount I had prior to destruction.
Schrodinger: Fool. I have no Spells or Traps to destroy. You wasted that card for nothing.
Draco: Not quite. It prevented me from losing to you. I switch Slacker Magician to Attack Mode and place 1 card face-down.
Schrodinger: Fool, you only shave off 300 more Life Points every time you Set Spells and Traps. I'm guessing you do have a death wish.
The specter fired another plasma ball at Draco, damaging his shirt more.
Draco: 1900-1600
Schrodinger: Well, it was fun for me. As for you, I think a close-range Rancid Rush is in order.
The specter spewed out acidic blood until-
Draco: I activate Inverse Reverse, switching all Effect Monsters' Attack and Defense Points.
The magician set up a barrier that reflected the acidic blood back at the specter, dissolving it to nothing.
Schrodinger: 7600-7300
Draco: Well, it looks like your own card backfired. It's my turn, and I sacrifice Slacker Magician to Summon Divine Knight Ishzark.
He then summons a knight wielding a huge sword and has the power of holy damnation.
(Divine Knight Ishzark, Lvl 6, ATK 2400, DEF 1800, Light, Warrior)
Draco: Divine Knight Ishzark, attack Schrodinger directly! Breakdown Distortion!
The knight took out its giant sword and swiped at Schrodinger.
Schrodinger: 7300-4900
Schrodinger: I activate Monster Reborn to revive Blood Mefist. Now it has more power that you can ever hope to imagine. But I'm not going to merely destroy your card yet. First, I Summon Magic Hole Golem, and then I'll use its effect to half Blood Mefist's Attack Points to let it attack directly this turn. Go, Rancid Rush.
The specter spewed acidic blood at Draco and set the blood on fire with its staff, which destroyed part of the leggings of his pants, and his shirt, revealing the bandages around his waist. The damage was also so great that it caused him a great deal of pain, as opposed to the effect damage and the destruction of his own Monsters, which he could endure. Unlike said events, this actually harmed him so badly he screamed in agonizing pain.
Draco: 1600-200
Morgan and Megan, tears in their eyes having to see their brother hurt: Stop it! Stop hurting Draco! Stop it now!
?: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes, burn, Draco, burn! Burn! BURN! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Nakahara: Malice! I thought you were supposed to be behind bars!
Malice: I got out for good behavior!
Yuto: What do you want, you demented freak?!
Iris: If it's the children, forget it!
Malice: All I want to see is Draco suffering! And this is the best full-course meal of agony I have ever had in my life! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Draco, weak from the damage: It's...my turn...and...I...
Before he could make a move, a heartbeat is heard. His heartbeat. His eyes were hanging low, his skin was pale, his sights were blurry, and his body felt weak. He collapsed on the ground. The damage was so great that it obliterated all of his strength. His eyes were hollow. After the collapse, it was completely silent. Nakahara tried looking for a pulse, only to be shocked to see he wasn't breathing. This shocked all but Schrodinger and Malice, the latter of whom was laughing maniacally at the sight. Morgan and Megan, tears flowing from their eyes were desperately begging Draco to wake up.
Schrodinger won the Duel by default.
Schrodinger: Well, I think I'm in a good enough mood to let you all go for now. But if we see each other again, you'll regret it.
Schrodinger leaps onto the nearest building with ease and walks off. Cut to Domino City III's Spiral Tower. Silver Dragon is standing atop of it.
Silver Dragon: So, an undercover Duel Armada member was behind these false accusations.
He takes of his mask.
Silver Dragon: Even though I can never forgive the Dueling Security Bureau for doing this, I at least feel sorry that they were fooled.
He puts the mask back on, activated his wings, and soared into the dark night.
Silver Dragon: Whoever you are, you're going to pay for the very curse you brought onto Domino City III when I find you.
To be continued...
