Chapter 37: The Invasion Begins Part 2

Yuya and Yuto stared in horror as the five headed behemoth appeared. Raizou smirked at their faces.

"If you think that's bad, just wait until you see my next move. I activate Dragon's Mirror! Now by banishing monsters from my field or graveyard, I can fusion summon a Dragon monster from the extra deck. Care to guess which one."

"I've got a feeling, and it's not good."

"That's right, I banish the five dragons in our graveyard used to summon the last one to Fusion summon another Five Headed Dragon!"

A large mirror appeared, sucking in all the previously used dragons before spitting out another massive dragon.

"This is the end for you two. Five Headed Dragon #1, attack his Swordfish!"

Yuya glanced around, quickly spotting and grabbing an action card.

"I activate the Action Card Great Escape, ending the battle phase!"

Raizou snarled.

"You may have gotten lucky this time, but next turn we'll finish you off for good."

"We'll see. Your move Yuto."

Yuto nodded before drawing his card.

"I draw! And with our set Pendulum scale, I pendulum summon! Come forth, level 4 The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm and The Phantom Knights of Fragile Armor!"

Yuto's ghostly warriors materialized.

"Now with these two monsters I build the overlay network to Xyz summon! Come forth, Rank 4 Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon in attack mode!"

Yuto's ace monster appeared, letting out a ferocious roar alongside Odd Eyes. All of a sudden, Yuto and Yuya doubled over in pain.

"Yuya!"

"Wh-What's going on?"

"I…don't…know. Got to…fight…it."

"If you two drama queens are finished, we're in the middle of something."

Yuto managed to recover and stood up.

"I activate Dark Rebellion's special ability! I halve your Five Headed Dragon's attack and give it to him. Go, Treason Discharge (5000-2500) (2500-5000)! Now, end this duel, Dark Rebellion, Mauling Mandible Discharge!"

Raizou just smirked as the dragon charged at him.

"I activate my face down, Nutrient Z! Now, we gain 4000 life points since we're about to take 2000 or more points of damage!"

A green aura enveloped them, healing them before the attack struck.

Torimaki/Raizou: 1900-5900-3400

To Yuya and Yuto's shock, their monster just shook the attack off.

"Surprised? Five Headed Dragon can't be destroyed by battle unless its by a light monster, which yours is not."

"Well, our turn isn't over yet. Yuya, mind if I borrow some of your monsters for a second?"

"Go ahead."

"Alright, Odd Eyes. Attack the weakened Five Headed freak! Odd Eyes Unicorn's effect activates, giving Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon Bubblebowwow's 2300 attack points."

"What (2500-4800)!"

"Finish this Odd Eyes!"

Topher quickly grabbed an action card and played it.

"Well I activate Choice Choice, choosing to halve the damage from this battle."

Five Headed Dragon once again shook it off, leaving Yuya and Yuto gasping in exasperation.

Torimaki/Raizou: 1100

Yuto slumped over, sighing in defeat.

"I'm sorry, Yuya. I thought we had them."

"Don't worry, Yuto. We can still win this."

"You're right. I end my turn."

Torimaki smirked.

"No, you won't. I draw! And I'll start by activating Megamorph, giving my stronger beast double attack points since we have fewer life points than you."

"What?"

A red aura enveloped the original, causing it to roar in pride as its attack points rose (5000-10000).

"End this, My servant! Attack with Barrage of Elements!"

Each head charged up a beam of energy, before unleashing it, combining into one powerful blast. Thinking quickly, Yuto activated Yuya's face down.

"I activate Command Performance! Since we have a Performapal on our side of the field, all of your monsters are switched to defense mode."

The wave dissipated as the two monsters knelt, their wings folding forward to act as shields. Yuto breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, Yuya. That trap card really saved us."

"Hey, I'm just lucky you remembered it. I honestly had forgotten."

Raizou growled in annoyance.

"I'll end my turn here. Make your last pathetic move."

"Its my turn, I Draw! I-"

All of a sudden, Yuya howled in pain, a dark aura enveloping him.

"Yuya!"

Yes… Give into your anger.

"Wh-Who is that? Get out of my head!"

You know you can't do this without my help. Give in, and let your anger take hold.

"Never!"

Give in…Give in…Give in!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Suddenly, Yuya stopped screaming. Slowly he rose and stared at his opponents, an expression of anger adorning his face, his eyes glowing red.

"Yuya, are you okay."

"YOU DUEL ACADEMY PUNKS HAVE INTERFERED FOR THE LAST TIME! I ACTIVATE THE SPELL CARD GRYPHON'S FEATHER DUSTER! THIS DESTROYS ALL SPELL AND TRAP CARDS I CONTROL, GIVING ME 500 LIFE POINTS FOR EACH!"

Yuya's Pendulum Monsters exploded into pixels, a green aura giving them more life points.

Yuya/Yuto: 5000

"What are you, nuts? Why would you destroy your own cards?"

"HOW COMMON OF YOU MORTALS TO JUDGE THINGS FOR HOW THEY LOOK, NOT FOR HOW THEY ARE. WITH AN EMPTY PENDULUM ZONE, I CAN RESET IT WITH THE SCALE 3 XIANGKE MAGICIAN AND THE SCALE 8 XIANGSHENG MAGICIAN!"

Two new magicians appeared in the pendulum zone that Zuzu had never seen before.

"What? Where did Yuya get those?"

"XIANGKE MAGICIAN's PENDULUM ABILITY ACTIVATES! BY TARGETING DARK REBELLION XYZ DRAGON, I CAN CHANGE ITS RANK INTO A LEVEL (RANK 4-LEVEL 4)! NOW ITS XIANGSHENG MAGICIAN'S PENDULUM ABILITY, CHANGING ITS LEVEL TO MATCH ODD EYES'S (4-7). WITH MY 2 MONSTERS, I BUILD THE OVERLAY NETWORK TO XYZ SUMMON! DESCEND, ODD EYES RAGING DRAGON!"

Bursting out of the portal was a menacing combination of Odd Eyes and Dark Rebellion, its scales resembling armor and having massive colorful wings. It let out a ferocious roar, causing Torimaki and Raizou to stumble back (3000/25000).

"Big deal, it can't even scratch our monsters."

"MY MONSTER'S SPECIAL EFFECT ACTIVATES! SINCE IT WAS XYZ SUMMONED BY USING AN XYZ MONSTER, I CAN DETACH ONE OVERLAY UNIT, ALL CARDS ON YOUR FIELD ARE DESTROYED!"

"WHAT?"

"EVEN YOUR SO-CALLED MIGHTY DRAGONS COWER IN FEAR! GO, RAGING DRAGON! GO, RAGE OF THE SUPREME KING!"

With a tremendous roar, Yuya's new monster shot up, wings stretching out and destroying the area around it, piercing the two Five Headed Dragons and utterly destroying them.

"AND RAGING DRAGON GAINS 200 ATTACK POINTS FOR EACH CARD DESTROYED (3000-3400). END THIS, RAGING DRAGON!"

Raging Dragon shot out a mighty burst of energy, far stronger than Odd Eyes's regular attack, sending Torimaki and Raizou flying into a tree, knocking them unconscious.

Torimaki/Raizou: 0000

Yuya and Yuto win!

As the monster dissipated, Yuya collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Yuya!"

Zuzu and Yuto ran over to him, checking him over.

"He's breathing, just knocked out. We need to get him out of here, stat."

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?"

Yuto and Zuzu turned to see another Duel Academy student standing behind them, psychotically smirking. What's more, he shared Yuya and Yuto's face.

"Looks like its my lucky day. Three of the Professor's targets all in a row. Now, will you come quietly, are will we have to do this the hard way?"
