The creepy monster was finally gone, but Roman's expression made me worried, "I activate my trap card, Altar of the Bound Deity! For every monster in defense mode each turn, this Altar gains a token. When it gets four tokens, I can summon my Earthbound Immortal Uru!"

Just then we heard a voice, "Yusei!"

I turned and saw two of Martha's kids at the edge of the barrier. Aki cried out, "Don't come any closer! And no matter what you do, don't touch the fire!"

Roman started laughing, "Since it's my standby phase, my Altar gains 1 Immortal Counter. Next I summon Ground Spider in defense mode and place one facedown."

Ground Spider-900

It took a second or two to show Aki what I was going to do, "Yusei uses Road Warrior's ability to special summon Speed Warrior."

Speed Warrior-900

Roman spoke up before she could keep talking, "Once per turn I can use my Ground Spider's ability to switch one of your monsters into defense mode."

Speed Warrior-400

Adrenaline flowed through my body as I hurried to figure out a solution. I showed Aki a card, "She activates the spell card Advance Draw. By sacrificing a level 8 or above monster, like Road Warrior, she gets to draw two cards."

I watched my Warrior disappear, "Next, she releases Speed Warrior to summon Turret Warrior."

Turret Warrior-1200 to 2100

"Take out that Ground Spider!"

The spider was gone, and yet Roman wasn't even bothered, "Your Warrior is now stuck in defense mode."

I placed a facedown and flicked my hand at him.

Roman laughed, "First my Altar gains a Counter. Next, I activate my spell, Offerings to the Bound Deity. By dividing my life points in half, my Altar gains two Immortal Counters."

Life Points Roman=1700

The Altar immediately turned into a pillar, shooting out the giant green and purple heart. I whipped around as the two boys started screaming, reminding me of when I faced Kiryu.

Suddenly I heard a familiar voice, "Screw this, Earthbound Immortals aren't that special!"

Jack's runner burst through the fire, crash landing next to the boys as they were turning into lights. He threw himself off his runner, and pulled both of them to his chest. His mark sent out a bubble, which protected them, letting them go back into their bodies.

I turned back to Roman, and he chuckled, "I don't need them. I have the spirits of Satellite that were absorbed into the fog. Come forth Earthbound Immortal Uru!"

Earthbound Immortal Uru-3000

The giant spider came out of the smoke, not nearly as terrifying as Ccpac Apu.

Jack called out, "Squish that bug so we can get back to Martha's house!"

I sighed, smiling at his cocky optimism.

Roman looked right at me, "If only I knew that destiny would let the one Signer that would oppose me be the child of Hakase."

I froze, and he laughed, "I don't expect you to remember me, you were only an infant when I saw you the one time. Your father's little angel. He kept you far away from the Reactor until your mother died. I was one of his assistants, my brother was the other one. I believe you've met Rex?"

As both Aki and I stiffened, he laughed even louder, "When he refused to keep the Reactor going, control was handed over to me. Of course, the next day Zero Reverse happened. And now it's your turn to dance the dance of death!"

"Earthbound Immortal Uru, attack Yusei directly!"

If only he knew that I don't dance. Especially if death is involved.

I looked Aki in the eyes, "Yusei activates Iron Resolve. By cutting her life points in half, she can negate your attack!"

Life Points Yusei=800

The blow flew off the shield that appeared, and hit a nearby building. I froze when I heard screams, then slowly turned around. On top of the building was Taka, and as I watched, Martha climbed to him and started going back to the door.

My whole body froze as I watched Martha hand Taka over to Trudge, then get sent sliding backwards as the building collapsed further. Trudge reached out for her, "Martha!"

Jack stood up, "Martha, hold on!"

Aki almost screamed as she slid farther, "Martha!"

She looked at Jack and I, "Remember what I said about your strengths. Don't give up."

With that, she fell off the roof and into the fire, turning into a light that flew into Uru's mouth.

I whipped around, still holding the datapad which screeched, "How dare you take Martha! I'll kill you and your overgrown spider!"

He laughed as I drew my next card, dropping the datapad on the ground. Aki moved back to my side, shaking with anger, "Yusei summons Junk Synchron, and then uses its special ability to summon Turbo Booster back from the graveyard."

Junk Warrior-1300

Turbo Booster-0

Aki continued, "Then she tunes Turret Warrior with Junk Synchron to bring out the monster of her soul, Stardust Dragon!"

Stardust Dragon-2500

I pointed right at Roman, and Stardust flew right at him. His face looked shocked for a second before his trap card flipped up, "I activate the trap card Spider Egg. It negates your attack and summons three Spider Tokens."

Just then he laughed, "It seems I underestimated you Miss Fudo. But I know your weaknesses."

His form turned purple, and shrank into a familiar person. Rally.

I started running to her when his voice came from the edge of the duel, "If either of you surrender, you both get taken by my Earthbound Immortal. But your friend is free to win or lose."

Rally looked me in the eye, "He took everyone. I won't let him get away with it. I use the spider's ability to gain control of Turbo Booster. Then I summon Turbo Rocket from my hand."

Turbo Rocket-0

"Next I tune the two of them together to bring out Turbo Booster Cannon."

Turbo Booster Cannon-0

I grabbed the datapad, "No! Rally, take me out!"

She looked me in the eye, "You are the only hope of Satellite! Don't you see that! Once per turn, my Booster Cannon can destroy one monster on the field and give that amount of damage to the controller. I select Uru!"

Life Points Rally=0

Her robot destroyed Uru, sending her flying to my side of the field. I pulled her onto my lap as she gasped for breath, "Protect...Satellite. We're...rooting, for you."

To my horror, she turned to dust. I threw the datapad away from me and curled up, the tears I had been holding back since we left the city flowing out.

Aki sat next to me, not saying a word as Roman laughed, "Well, I didn't expect that."


A/N: By the time Yusei gets to the duel with Kiryu, she'll have her voice back.

Dark Lord of the Fallen Angels: Sorry that I'm so bad at replying. I did last time, but somehow it disappeared. And here is your Rally scene!
