Chapter 36: A Star So Bright
Yusei ran through the ruins of the B.A.D., occasionally calling out Julian's name as he searched for the vigilante.
"Julian!" he yelled as he easily traversed a virtual minefield of broken glass, concrete blocks and protruding steel girders.
A card cut the air in front of him, and Yusei stopped, vision drawn to the girl who had thrown the card. It was Marina, her ice blue hair becoming a stream of frost on the wind as she stepped forwards. Yusei raised his Duel Disk arm, cautious and ready as he noted Marina's Duel Disk. The girl sighed as she took another step.
"Do we have to duel?" she sighed "can't you leave?"
"I'm here for Julian," Yusei replied "and I'm not leaving until I know he's safe."
"We wouldn't hurt him," Marina replied "he's one of us, Yusei Fudo. Leave him where he belongs."
"I'm taking him where he belongs!" Yusei countered "with his friends! He needs them!"
"He needs us!" Marina snarled "and if I have to kill you to keep you away, I will! Get your game on!"
"So be it!" Yusei replied. Their Duel Disks activated...
Yusei 8000LP/Marina 8000LP
"I'll begin!" Marina said "I summon Deep Sea Diva in attack mode!" A beautiful mermaid appeared, her lower body salmon-pink, wearing a dark mauve ridged swimsuit under a pale pink corset. She had fish fins for hair and webbing between her fingers (ATK: 200). "When I Normal Summon Deep Sea Diva, I can Special Summon a Level 3 or lower Sea Serpent-Type monster from my Deck. I choose to summon my Mermaid Archer." Another mermaid appeared, this one with a green lower body, wearing a silver bikini top and wielding a crossbow, her long blue hair flowing over her shoulders gracefully. She was riding on a giant turtle, the creature's shell curved gracefully into shields to protect her (ATK: 1200).
"Now I activate Big Wave Small Wave," Marina laughed "allowing me to destroy all face-up Water monsters on my field to Special Summon a number of Water monsters from my hand equal to or less than the number of monsters destroyed." A tidal wave crashed down on Deep Sea Diva and Mermaid Archer, shattering them. Marina smirked as she selected a card from her hand and placed it onto her Duel Disk.
"I summon Levia-Dragon – Daedalus with Big Wave Small Wave," she said. A monster burst from the remaining water. Levia-Dragon – Daedalus was an immense blue sea serpent, twisting and coiling in the air, golden eyes gleaming hungrily as it gazed towards Yusei, a crest of red running the length of its body and four short legs clawing the air as the Sea Serpent roared (ATK: 2600).
Yusei didn't even flinch.
"Your move," Marina declared.
Yusei 8000LP/Marina 8000LP
"I draw," Yusei said "I activate One for One, discarding my Quillbolt Hedgehog to Special Summon Tuningware from my Deck!" He slotted the monster into his Graveyard and the cute robot appeared (ATK: 100). "Now I summon Road Synchron!" A strange creature appeared, a golden robotic torso, head and arms on top of a black roller, an engine mounted on its back (ATK: 1600). "I use the effect of Quillbolt Hedgehog to revive it from the Graveyard because I control a Tuner Monster." A small orange hedgehog with bolts in place of quills appeared, squeaking cutely (ATK: 800).
"None of those monsters can beat my Levia-Dragon!" Marina laughed.
"Don't underestimate my monsters," Yusei replied. "They might seem weak at first, but they can come together to create incredible power. I raise Tuningware to Level 2." Tuningware glowed (Level 2). "Now I Tune Road Synchron with Tuningware and Quillbolt Hedgehog!" Road Synchron dissolved into four Synchro Gates that encircled Tuningware and Quillbolt Hedgehog, reducing the two to four glowing stars. The stars exploded with golden light that engulfed the Synchro Gates...
"Clustering hopes will evoke a new horizon!" Yusei chanted. "Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Dash onwards, Road Warrior!"
A tall, majestic golden armoured warrior appeared from the Synchro Summon, armour decorated with circuitry patterns, bracers adorned with mighty steel claws. Under the armour he wore a black bodysuit, and his eyes glowed fiery red, an engine clamped to his back, under what seemed to be a section of road (ATK: 3000).
"No..." Marina whispered.
"Yes," Yusei replied "now I equip Road Warrior with Junk Barrage. When he destroys a monster by battle, you take damage equal to half of that monster's attack points. Finally, I activate Road Warrior's effect, allowing me to Special Summon a Level 2 or lower Warrior or Machine-Type monster from my Deck. I choose my Speed Warrior!" Road Warrior pulled the section of road from his back and lifted it up into the air. Energy swirled on the road, and then Speed Warrior appeared from nowhere, skating up the road before jumping and landing beside Road Warrior.
"Road Warrior, attack Levia-Dragon – Daedalus with Lightning Claw!" Yusei called. Road Warrior leapt into the air and lunged for Levia-Dragon – Daedalus, claws crackling with energy as they tore through the screaming Sea Serpent. Marina cried out as Road Warrior kept going and slashed at her with his claws.
(Marina: 7600LP)
"Now the effect of Junk Barrage activates!" Yusei called. Road Warrior raised a hand and green energy burst from it, slamming into Marina and making her howl in pain.
(Marina: 6300LP)
"Speed Warrior, attack her directly with Sonic Edge!" Speed Warrior skated forwards and delivered a harsh roundhouse kick that tossed Marina to the ground.
(Marina: 5400LP)
"I end my turn," Yusei finished.
Yusei 8000LP/Marina 5400LP
"I draw," Marina said, wincing in pain "I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Levia-Dragon – Daedalus!" The huge Sea Serpent appeared again (ATK: 2600). "Now I play the Field Spell A Legendary Ocean, raising the attack and defence of all Water Monsters on the field by 200 and reducing the Level of all Water monsters on the field and in our hands by 1." Levia-Dragon – Daedalus glowed (ATK: 2800) as the area around them changed, becoming a deep sea view with a ruined city around them.
"Now I activate the effect of Levia-Dragon – Daedalus," Marina said "I send A Legendary Ocean to the Graveyard to destroy all cards on the field other than Daedalus!" The underwater city vanished and an immense tidal wave swept over the field, shattering everything other than the Sea Serpent. Levia-Dragon – Daedalus stopped glowing (ATK: 2600).
"Levia-Dragon – Daedalus, attack him directly!" Daedalus reared up and unleashed a powerful jet of water from its maw, hurling Yusei back into a concrete wall. The Star of Satellite cried out in pain as he hit the hard surface.
(Yusei: 5400LP)
"I end there," Marina said. Yusei groaned as he stood up.
Yusei 5400LP/Marina 5400LP
"I draw!" Yusei called "I summon the Tuner Monster Junk Synchron!" The short mechanical Warrior appeared (ATK: 1300). "And I use his effect to revive Tuningware!" The small, cute robot appeared in a burst of light (DEF: 300). "I Tune Junk Synchron to my Tuningware!"
Junk Synchron dissolved into three Synchro Gates that encircled Tuningware, reducing it to a single glowing star that exploded with golden energy…
"Clustering hearts bring forth a shining power! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Unite all bonds, Armory Arm!"
A black, silver and gold gauntlet appeared from the Synchro Summon, red claws clenching into a mighty fist (ATK: 1800).
"That's pathetic!" Marina laughed. Yusei just looked her in the eye as he drew a card from Tuningware's effect.
"I activate the effect of Quick Synchron!" he called "discarding Max Warrior to Special Summon it from my hand!" A mechanical monster with a cowboy-themed appeared burst from a portal of emerald aura, raising a typical cowboy pistol. Its chest was essentially a traffic light (ATK: 700).
"Now what?" Sarayu asked
"Now I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Speed Warrior," Yusei called "and I use Quick Synchron's effect. When I use it for a Synchro Summon, I can substitute it for any Synchron Tuner monster. I count Quick Synchron as Junk Synchron and Tune it with Speed Warrior!" As the grey-suited warrior (ATK: 900) appeared, Quick Synchron dissolved into five Synchro Gates that encircled Speed Warrior, reducing it to two glowing stars that exploded with black aura…
"The clustering forces will split into a silver arrow! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Come, Junk Archer!"
A slender orange humanoid machine appeared from the Synchro Summon, raising a strung bow and readying a silver arrow to fire (ATK: 2300). "Now I use Armory Arm's special ability!" Yusei said "I can equip it to any monster I control and that monster gains 1000 attack points! I equip Armory Arm to Junk Archer!"
Junk Archer raised its right arm and Armory Arm clamped onto it. The Junk Synchro shone with golden energy (ATK: 3300).
"Now, Junk Archer!" Yusei called "attack Levia-Dragon – Daedalus!" Junk Archer raised its bow and launched an arrow that impaled Levia-Dragon – Daedalus, shattering the Sea Serpent. Marina cried out as the arrow continued onwards and struck her with incredible force.
(Marina: 4700LP)
"Now Armory Arm's second effect activates," Yusei said "when a monster equipped with Armory Arm destroys an opponent's monster in battle, you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's attack points." Junk Archer raised its Armory Arm gauntleted hand and unleashed a great fireball that engulfed Marina, making the Vessel of Water scream in agony as the flames seared into her.
(Marina: 2100LP)
The flames dissipated and Marina stood up, groaning in pain.
"I end my turn," Yusei said grimly.
Yusei 5400LP/Marina 2100LP
"I draw!" Marina snarled "now I summon Water Reflection of the Ice Barrier!" A blonde-haired man clad in dark purple robes appeared, wielding a dagger made of ice (ATK: 1200). "Next I activate Frost Gateway. This lets me Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Ice Barrier monster from my Deck. I summon Bushi of the Ice Barrier." A man clad in samurai style plate made of ice appeared, wielding a frozen katana in both hands (ATK: 1800).
"Now I Tune Water Reflection of the Ice Barrier to Bushi of the Ice Barrier to Synchro Summon…!" Water Reflection of the Ice Barrier dissolved into two Synchro Gates that encircled Bushi of the Ice Barrier and reduced it to four glowing stars that exploded with sapphire light…
"Frozen power descending from chilling poles, condense into an almighty dragon! Form of frozen ice and chilling rage; tear through this pitiful foe to preserve your great master! Synchro Summon! Scream your fury, Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!" Marina chanted.
A great serpentine dragon appeared from the Synchro Summon, spreading out wide wings of transparent ice, its entire body seemingly made of ice. Its head was shaped like a typical snowflake, and its tail was crowned by the same shape. Brionac roared in fury, lower body twisting and coiling, its cold eyes staring at Junk Archer (ATK: 2300).
"Now I activate Brionac's ability," Marina said "I discard the last card in my hand and in exchange, I can return a card on the field to its owner's hand. I return Junk Archer to your hand." Junk Archer vanished in a blast of freezing wind, leaving Armory Arm behind. "And because the card it was equipped to left the field, Armory Arm is destroyed," Marina said smugly. Armory Arm shattered.
"No!" Yusei gasped.
"Brionac!" Marina cried "attack him directly! Frozen Flare!" Brionac raised its head and breathed a jet of chilling flames that engulfed Yusei, drawing a gasp of pain from his lips.
(Yusei: 3100LP)
"I end my turn," the Vessel of Water said.
Yusei 3100LP/Marina 2100LP
"I draw," Yusei said "now I summon Drill Synchron!" A small, spherical machine appeared, sprouting caterpillar tracks for legs and waving around drills for arms, a golden drill sprouting from its forehead (ATK: 800). "Next I activate Double Summon to summon my Shield Warrior!" A tall man appeared, head covered by a samurai-style helm and holding a large shield and a spear (ATK: 800).
"I Tune Drill Synchron to my Shield Warrior!" Drill Synchron became three Synchro Gates that encircled Shield Warrior, reducing it to three glowing stars that exploded with black aura…
"Clustering powers will turn into a spear that pierces the earth! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Break it apart, Drill Warrior!"
A new Synchro burst from the summon, a tall dark brown humanoid warrior with a streamlined form, upside down drills its lower legs, two more drills cresting its shoulders and a drill ending its right arm. Its red eyes gleamed beneath a sapphire gem set into its forehead as it threw a fierce punch with its drill-arm (ATK: 2400).
"Now, Drill Warrior!" Yusei yelled "attack Brionac!" Drill Warrior charged at Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, and threw a vicious punch with its drill-arm, impaling the majestic ice dragon through the skull. Brionac howled in agony as it shattered. Drill Warrior kept going and struck Marina with a vicious kick.
(Marina: 2000LP)
"I end my turn," Yusei said.
Yusei 3100LP/Marina 2000LP
"I draw," Marina said "now I activate Pot of Avarice to return five monsters from my Graveyard to my Deck and draw two cards." Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, Water Reflection of the Ice Barrier, Bushi of the Ice Barrier, Deep Sea Diva and Mermaid Archer slid from her Graveyard and she placed them back in her Deck, putting Brionac in her Extra Deck instead. Her Deck automatically shuffled, and then she drew two cards and smirked as she saw them.
"I summon Deep Sea Diva," she said. The mermaid Tuner appeared (ATK: 200). "Now I use her effect to summon Mermaid Archer from my Deck." The turtle-riding mermaid appeared, readying her crossbow (ATK: 1200). "I tune Deep Sea Diva to Mermaid Archer to Synchro Summon…!"
Deep Sea Diva dissolved into two Synchro Gates that encircled Mermaid Archer, reducing it to three glowing stars that exploded with sapphire aura…
"Rising from chill ocean depths, the guardian of the weak ascends to defeat my foes! Divine leviathan, emerge from savage oceans to drown the unholy in cleansing waves! Synchro Summon! Surge with power, Sea Dragon Lord Gishilnodon!"
A great dragon made entirely of water emerged from the Synchro Summon, body curving and streamlined, the surface of its liquid form shining in the dim light (ATK: 2300).
"Now I activate Re-Tuning," Marina said "this allows me to Special Summon a Tuner monster from the Graveyard, provided it was used for a Synchro Summon this turn. I revive Deep Sea Diva." Deep Sea Diva reappeared (ATK: 200). "I Tune Deep Sea Diva to Sea Dragon Lord Gishilnodon to Synchro Summon…!"
Deep Sea Diva dissolved into two Synchro Gates that encircled Sea Dragon Lord Gishilnodon, reducing it to five glowing stars that exploded with sapphire aura…
"Glacial titan of the far north, descend from lofty peaks to do battle with the unclean! Freeze my foes for all time! Synchro Summon! Bring forth frozen powers, Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!"
A dragon of pure ice appeared from the Synchro Summon, this creature European in design, with a long tail, standing on all fours, its head avian featured and eyes glowing red (ATK: 2500).
"Plus," Marina said "when I use the Tuner for another Synchro Summon, I can draw a card." She did so. "Now I discard this card to use Gungnir's effect. I can discard up to two cards, and then I choose cards on your field equal to the number I discarded and destroy them. I destroy Drill Warrior!" The warrior shattered instantly.
Yusei remained expressionless in the face of this unfortunate result.
"Gungnir, attack him directly!" Marina yelled "Glacier Spear!" Gungnir breathed a lance of frost at Yusei, chilling the duelist to the bone and making him cry out.
(Yusei: 600LP)
"I end my turn," Marina said calmly.
Yusei 600LP/Marina 2000LP
"I draw," Yusei said "I activate Miracle Hope. This allows me to draw until I have four cards." He drew and smiled slightly as he saw the cards.
"What?" Marina asked.
"I Special Summon Level Warrior as a Level 4 monster with its effect," Yusei said. A red costumed superhero with a helmet decorated by golden stars appeared (ATK: 300). "Next I summon Nitro Synchron." The red propane tank appeared with a chuckle (ATK: 300). "Now I sacrifice Level Warrior to Special Summon Turret Warrior using its effect."
Level Warrior dissolved into golden dust that reformed into a towering humanoid made entirely of bricks and mortar, its shoulders crowned by immense turrets (ATK: 1200). "And because I used that effect to summon Turret Warrior, it gains attack points equal to the attack points of the tribute." Turret Warrior glowed (ATK: 1600).
"I Tune Nitro Synchron and Turret Warrior together to Synchro Summon…!" Yusei called. Nitro Synchron's pressure gauge shot into the red and it dissolved into two Synchro Gates that encircled Turret Warrior, reducing it to five glowing stars that exploded into crimson flames…
"Clustering minds will now become a new force! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Blaze on, Nitro Warrior!"
The demonic warrior (ATK: 2800) burst from the Synchro Summon and landed in front of Yusei. The Star of Satellite smiled slightly as he remembered the fact that Julian also used Nitro Warrior. In a way, Julian was helping out in this duel.
"Because I used Nitro Synchron to summon a Nitro Synchro monster, I can draw a card," Yusei said, doing so "now I activate the Spell Card Harmony's Treasure. I discard Debris Dragon to draw two cards." He did so calmly. "Now, Nitro Warrior, attack Gungnir with Dynamite Crunch!" Nitro Warrior ignited its jet engine and charged (ATK: 3800), hurling a blazing punch that shattered Gungnir. Marina cried out as flames washed over her.
(Marina: 700LP)
"I end my turn with a face-down card," Yusei said.
Yusei 600LP/Marina 700LP
"I draw!" Marina yelled "I activate Junk Dealer, allowing me to Special Summon 2 monsters from my Graveyard at half their original attack points! I summon Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier and Feng Shui Master of the Ice Barrier!" Gungnir (ATK: 1250) and a blue-robed woman with light brown hair, holding a mirror in front of her face (ATK: 400) appeared. "Now, since Feng Shui Master is a Tuner, I Tune he to Gungnir to Synchro Summon…!"
Feng Shui Master of the Ice Barrier dissolved into three Synchro Gates that encircled Gungnir, reducing it to seven glowing stars that exploded into a great pillar of ice…
And the very air chilled, their breaths becoming visible mist as the Spirit of Water approached…
"Descending from the coldest reaches of this world, my Spirit of Water emerges to bring frozen desolation! Awaken, great titan of frost, and engulf the entire world in glacial ice! Synchro Summon! The voice of ice, Ymir, Titan Wyrm of the Ice Barrier!"
A colossal dragon made entirely of ice burst from the Synchro Summon, spreading six immense wings to block out what dim sunlight existed. Its great maw was shrouded by white mist as it took heavy breaths, it's very presence sending fingers of ice creeping across the concrete ruins of the B.A.D. Ymir roared, its great tail thrashing and smashing apart sections of ruins, claws tearing at the ground as it stepped forwards (ATK: 3300).
"Now Ymir's effect activates," Marina said "this means that your monsters cannot attack the turn they are Normal Summoned, and they cannot be used as a Tribute under any circumstances during that turn. In addition, I can discard a card from my hand to destroy a Spell or Trap card of yours. But for now… Ymir, destroy Nitro Warrior! Blizzards of Niflheim!"
Ymir reared up, unleashing a storm of frozen power from its maw and obliterating Nitro Warrior, the blast crushing Yusei against a frozen ruin and freezing his clothes solid.
(Yusei: 100LP)
Yusei stood up; ice breaking off of his clothes as he took heavy steps forward.
"I end my turn," Marina said smugly. Yusei gritted his teeth and fought the pain.
Yusei 100LP/Marina 700LP
"I draw," Yusei said "now I activate Synchro Spirits, removing from play Nitro Warrior in my Graveyard to Special Summon Nitro Synchron and Turret Warrior from the Graveyard." Nitro Synchron (ATK: 300) and Turret Warrior (ATK: 1200) both reappeared.
"I play Tuner Switch, allowing me to Tribute Nitro Synchron to Special Summon a lower Level Tuner monster from my Deck. I summon Turbo Synchron!" Nitro Synchron dissolved into golden dust and a new monster formed, a strange Tuner with the body of a Formula 1 car, topped by a spherical head, with large feet underneath and short arms (ATK: 100).
"What?!" Marina gasped, realising what was coming.
"I Tune Turbo Synchron to my Turret Warrior to Synchro Summon…!" Yusei shouted. Turbo Synchron dissolved into a single Synchro Gate that encircled Turret Warrior, reducing it to five glowing stars that exploded with emerald aura…
"Clustering bonds weave a greater force! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Roar engines, Turbo Warrior!"
Yusei's final Synchro Warrior burst from the Synchro Summon, a creature based on Optimus Prime, the legendary Transformers character. However, unlike Optimus, whose colour scheme was red and blue, Turbo Warrior had an overall scheme of red and black. It had claws for fingers and an engine fixed onto its back. The Warrior landed in front of Yusei gracefully, flexing its claws (ATK: 2500).
"Now to end this," Yusei said "when Turbo Warrior attacks a Level 6 or higher Synchro Monster, that monster's attack points are halved. Turbo Warrior, destroy Ymir with Accel Slash!" Turbo Warrior charged forwards, drawing back one arm to strike even as Ymir roared in pure fury, an emerald aura engulfing its form (ATK: 1650).
Turbo Warrior shot forwards with incredible speed, becoming a mere blur as it slashed its claws forward and tore through the Spirit of Water. Ymir howled in agony as its body fractured and shattered into a million pieces that vanished before striking the ground.
Then Marina screamed as Turbo Warrior's claws struck her, tossing her back into a frozen building, the sharp ice cutting her back as she hit it and fell to the ground.

Digidramon: Well, I've shown all of Yusei's current Synchro monsters to date with this duel and the one in chapter 5. The use of the other Warriors, Junk Archer and Armory Arm was certainly interesting, I'll admit, especially Turbo Warrior to deal the winning blow.
Crow: Somehow, when you use your Turbo Warrior, it never does anything of use, does it?
Digidramon: That's why I rarely summon it. Maybe I need to look at using Turbo Warrior some more.
Placido: Maybe.
Digidramon: You may have a point, Placido, as much as I hate admitting a villain is right. Still, I can't really count you as much of a villain if I don't know your motives... all you've done so far is the thing with Ghost, beat up that idiot who gatecrashed the World Riding Grand Prix and sent Luciano to Duel Academy.
Milo: Placido is one mysterious guy, I'll give him that.
Drago: Plus, he has a strong Deck, especially Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity. That thing kicks Synchro ass.
Digidramon: It is a Synchro Killer, Drago. Akiza, disclaimer please.
Akiza: Digidramon does not 5D's, because if he did, he'd know exactly what Placido, Luciano and Jose are planning, and exactly what the Machine Emperors are for.
Digidramon: I really want to know why Placido and co are waiting for these three monsters to fall from the sky on those obelisks, because it might explain exactly who they are. I get the impression that they aren't actually human somehow, mostly because of their comments about humanity's evolution and potential. It's a real mystery. Crow, Featured Card please.
Crow: Today's Cards are Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, Drill Warrior, Road Warrior and Turbo Warrior!
Milo: Today's Card is Turbo Warrior. It's almost as good at anti-Synchro as Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity.
Digidramon: Next time on Seven Spirits, Placido's contribution becomes apparent as Milo faces off against Kevin, and the Vessel of Earth unleashes one of the most lethal anti-Synchro monsters ever seen in 5D's! Can Milo overcome a monster like that when his Deck focuses on Synchro Monsters?!
To find out, read Chapter 37 of Seven Spirits: Synchro Killer!
