Chapter 35: The Gate of Betrayal
As the sun beginning to set and day was turning into night, Takashi and the others were still making their way to Team Satisfaction's hideout with Lilly taking the lead. As she rode along the rocky road, the young woman had very distant look on her face. Takashi, having noticed it for some time now, wanted to ride up and talk to her. However, before he got the chance to do so, Crow got in front of him and shook his head in disapproval.
"Don't bother her right now…" He requested. "Lilly has a lot on her mind right now and I think she wants to handle them by herself."
Takashi turned his attention towards Lilly again and saw that she continued to have the same distant look on his face. Despite the fact that he wanted to talk to her, he decided to take Crow's advice and say nothing to her for the time being.
Meanwhile, Aiku and Toru were busying talking to one another as they continued to follow Lilly and the others.
"Toru…How strong do you think Takashi is?" Aiku asked.
"Why do you ask?" Toru asked, answering his friend's question with one of his own. "You should Duel him and find out for yourself."
"I know, but I want to have your opinion. Besides, out of everyone here, you're the one who's Dueled him the most."
"I guess…" Toru knew that Aiku was right on that account and since he really wanted to know how good his best friend was, the young man decided to tell him. "Takashi is an extremely powerful Duelist who's able to hold his own against almost any opponent he happens to come across. He normally tries to outsmart his opponent by either Summoning Monsters or playing Spell/Trap Cards whose effect allows him to get past his opponents defenses.
"I see…" Aiku replied.
The young Duelist looked towards Takashi as he continued on the path to the hideout while Akiza held onto his back. He then started thinking to himself.
"Takashi Nakamura….he's the son of Sakura Nakamura, the Legendary World Queen." He thought. "I can tell just by looking at him that he's an incredible Duelist, but there something more than that. It's like he has mysterious power deep inside of him. That power…is very similar to my own."
As he continued to think, Aiku soon noticed that everyone was slowing down. When he lifted his head to check what was going on, he saw that he was in front of a large abandoned building.
"What is this place…?"
"It's the hideout…of Team Satisfaction." Lilly answered.
The young woman parked her Duel Runner and took her helmet off before making her way towards the entrance. The others proceeded to do the same thing and follow after her. Once they made their way inside the building, Toru began to examine the area. The walls were decaying and lot of the machines that were inside was rusted pretty badly.
"Holy shit…" He said. "It's like something came in here and took a dump all over the place."
Takashi elbowed Toru in the gut, causing him to hold his stomach in pain. As he tried to catch his breath, Toru looked towards Takashi as he shook his head in disapproval.
"There's a time and a place to say things Toru…" He said. "You, of all people, should know that better than anyone else. Especially after, you know what."
As he got back to his feet, Toru understood what Takashi meant by his words. He then proceeded to shake off the pain that he was feeling and continue walking inside. Meanwhile, Akiza looked at Takashi with a slightly puzzled look on her face.
"You know what?" She thought. "What does that mean? Could it be what Toru told me last night?"
The young Psychic Duelist remembered when Toru told her that Takashi lost something he loved nearly 6 years ago. She wondered if Takashi was referring to that incident. However, before she could continue thinking about it, Akiza saw that she was being left behind while the others walked ahead. She then decided to put her thoughts on hold for now and make her way back towards the others.
After about 7 minutes of walking around, Lilly eventually led the other into a room that was field with several mechanical pieces such as Duel Disk parts and computers.
"What is this place?" Takashi asked. "It looks like some type or garage or office."
"Well, you can kind of say that it's both." Crow answered. "This place is where all of Team Satisfaction would work and plan out our strategies."
"And what's with these parts?" Akiza asked as she picked up the broken pieces of a Duel Disk.
"The Satellite Sector is like the dumping ground for all the trash in New Domino City." Crow explained as he gently took the Duel Disk from Akiza's hands. "Most Duel Disks have a tracking chip that allows Sector Security to know if an unauthorized Duel is taking place, since Dueling is forbidden over here. So we needed to make our own Duel Disks that connected to the Dueling Network but, at the same time, don't possess the chip. It took a couple of tries to finally get it down, but eventually we were able to create our own Duel Disks. Well…when we say we, I mean to say Lilly. She is a genius when it comes to mechanics."
Everyone looked towards Lilly as the young woman was looking throughout the room for something. Takashi, Toru, and Akiza all knew too well how smart Lilly was when it comes to things like that. Especially since she spends a good portion of her day just working on her Duel Runner.
"Hey Crow…" Takashi called. "Did Lilly happen to make her Duel Runner from scratch too?"
"That's right. While I was given my Runner by a close friend of mine, Lilly used the spare parts that were lying around the area to make her very own Duel Runner. I think she was 12 when she started the first time around and finished it when she was 16."
"Wow, that's even more impressive that you Toru." Takashi said as he looked towards his friend. "It took you double that amount of time to fix the Runner you have and even then you needed my help when it came to the last couple of parts."
"I guess…" Toru replied. "But don't forget that she had the parts all around here while I had little to no parts around."
As the two had a mini argument about how the quickness of making Duel Runners, Aiku started walking over a nearby desk and began scanning the area. He then saw that the damage computer that on the desk still had a little bit of power. He then proceeded to sit down and attempt to start it up. Crow noticed this and began to look over at what he was doing.
"What are you trying to do Aiku?" He asked.
"I'm trying to see if there's any information on this computer that we can use." Aiku answered as he continued to work. "However, this system is pretty old and badly damaged. It might take me a while to get any results."
"Let me help."
Everyone turned their heads as they saw Lilly by Aiku. She then proceeded to place a picture on the table before helping Aiku get the computer started up. As the two of them worked, Akiza took a look at the picture that Lilly placed on the table. The picture contained the image of a young Lilly and Crow along with two other boys. The first one had black hair while the other had silver hair. All 4 of them seemed to be having a good time as they were smiling.
"Nice picture…" She said.
Takashi, Crow, and Toru walked over and each of them got a good look at the picture. Upon looking at it, Crow placed the photo back down on the table and closed his eyes for a moment. He soon took everyone, with the exception of Lilly and Aiku, into the other room so that they could talk without constraints.
"The photo just looked at was Team Satisfaction about 4 years ago." He explained.
Takashi, Akiza, and Toru all looked at one another for a few moments before turning their attention back towards Crow. They then spoke the following words in unison.
"We already know that."
As Crow's widen and mouth opened in shocked, his three friends proceeded to give their own explanation on how they came to their realization.
"I can tell just by your faces…" Akiza said. "You all looked so happy and close and since this was your hideout, I figured you all would a picture of everyone."
"It was your clothes that give it away to me." Toru explained. "You all dress similar clothing, kind of like uniforms."
"And you know me…" Takashi said. "I've already met all of you when I entered the Satellite the first time. There was you, Lilly, that Kalin guy, and that jerk Alistair."
As Crow nodded his head, Toru started to think about something upon hearing Alistair's name.
"Alistair…Alistair…I've heard that name before." He thought. "Could he be…nah…it couldn't be."
The young man erased his thoughts from his mind and refocused his attention towards the others as they were beginning another conversation.
"But wait a minute…" Akiza said. "Why do we have to be out here when we talk about this? I mean, I sure Aiku would like to know and Lilly knows all of this already."
"The fact that Lilly knows is precisely the reason why we're out here." Crow answered. "You see…certain events took place that really hurt Lilly. We can't have her more distant than she already is and really don't want to see her upset…"
"Why…?"
Crow was about to explain to them what he meant but, before he had the chance too, the door behind him opened and Aiku appeared.
"The computer is up and running." He informed. "We found something that you just got to see."
Everyone complied as they made their way back inside the previous room. They then walked over towards Lilly, who presented them the information that she and Aiku found before looking back at the picture.
"Lilly and I managed to find the location of the plans needed to disarm the bombs." Aiku explained. "It took a bit, but they seemed to be located in the basement level."
"Alright then…let's get going. The longer we wait the less time we have." Takashi said.
Everyone nodded their heads and proceeded to leave the room, all except Lilly who was still looking at the picture. Crow took notice of this and walked over to her.
"C'mon Lilly…you have to learn to put the past behind you." He said. "What happened back then wasn't your fault."
Lilly didn't respond to what Crow had to say at first, all she did was keep to herself as she looked at the photo. After a few she took the photo from out of the frame, folded it up, and placed it into her pocket. She then began to walk away.
"What happened back then was my fault." She said. "I should have done something to prevent it."
As the young woman left the room, all Crow could do was sigh before following after her.
"How did things go so wrong between the 4 of us?" He thought.
After about 20 minutes of walking deep underground, the group finally reached the level where the location of the plans was located. The area was similar to that of train tunnel as it only went one way.
"This place stinks…" Toru said while holding his nose. "Why the hell would you hide the plans in here?!"
"Mr. Silver Hair wanted them to be in a place where only we can reach them." Crow said.
"Mr. Silver Hair?" Toru scratched his head in confusion, but soon figured out who Crow was referring too. "Oh…you mean Kal-"
Takashi and Akiza covered Toru's mouth at the same time, informing him that he shouldn't speak the name that he was about to say.
"Okay…okay…I get it." He said while his voice was being filtered by the hands. "Can you let me go now?"
Toru's friends looked at one another for a few moments before complying too his request. Once that happen everyone reached the end of the tunnel where say saw two levers in the wall up ahead.
"There it is…" Lilly said softly.
As they made their way towards the exit however, they soon came across a young man who was blocking their path.
"Hey, what are you doing down here?" Crow asked.
The young man didn't say anything at first and just kept to himself. Soon though, he moved over to one of the two levers and grabbed the one on the left. Realizing the danger, Crow and Lilly attempted to rush over to where he was, but they were too late. The man pulled the lever that he was holding down and soon the ground began to shake.
"What's happening?" Toru asked. "What the hell is going on?"
Takashi, Akiza, and Aiku wondered the same thing as they were also puzzled by the sudden earthquake. Soon everyone began hearing something coming from the ceiling and, as they looked up, saw that the wall was coming down.
"Oh Crap…Run!"
Everyone ran as fast as they could, trying to reach the end of the tunnel before the ceiling fell on top of them. Unfortunately they weren't fast enough and they only thing that they could hope to do was catch the ceiling before it crushed them. Everyone lifted their hands up and prepared themselves for impact. When it landed on their hands and everyone was exerting all the strength that they had so that the weight of the ceiling doesn't crush them.
"Damn it…" Aiku cursed. "What the hell is going on?"
"It's simple…All of you have entered the Gate of Betrayal." A voice from the other side of the room replied.
Everyone looked over towards the end of the tunnel, all the while struggling to keep the ceiling up. They soon saw the young man reveal himself to them. He was around their age and he had grey hair with black eyes. Lilly looked on with a disgusted look on her face as she watched the man walk towards them.
"Hisashi…" She spoke.
"In the flesh…" He replied. "I'm so glad that you remember me Lilly, because I haven't forgotten about you."
As the two of them glared at one another, Toru was becoming confused by the situation. This confusion lead to him becoming distracted, thus causing the ceiling to fall a little bit more.
"Stay focus on the weight or you'll kill us all!" Crow yelled as he turned towards him.
"Sorry…" Toru said as he brought all of his attention back towards the weight of the ceiling. "But still…how do those two know each other?"
"Let's just say that the two of them have history…" Crow answered.
"History…" Hisashi said, while keeping his eyes towards Lilly. "Oh we have more than just history, Crow. This woman here betrayed our cause and for that…she, and all of her friends, will die!"
"Don't count on it!" Takashi yelled.
The young man used all of his strength to try and lift the ceiling up so that everyone could escape. However, he simply wasn't strong enough has the ceiling didn't even move an inch. The sight of that caused Hisashi to laugh.
"It's pointless, you fool!" He declared. "The Crashing Sharks and I have modified the ceiling so that the moment it falls it locks onto the strength of its victims. Just enough leeway will allow one of you to escape, but the moment you do the remaining of you will escape."
"Damn it…" Takashi cursed.
"I advise all of you to make a decision quickly." Hisashi continued. "Not even the 6 of you combined can hold the ceiling up for long. If you insist on teamwork then everyone will be crush. Only by turning against one another will one of you be allowed to escape. Only the traitor among deserves to live. This is way this is called the Gate of Betrayal!"
As Hisashi started laughing in a more hysterical tone, Lilly was becoming more and more annoyed by his arrogance. All she wanted to do at that moment was beat the crap out of him for delaying her from her mission. However she knew that if she did that, the ceiling would fall and her friends would die. With no option left to her, the young woman simply gritted her teeth as she continued to glare at her foe.
The others felt the same way that Lilly did, but they also knew that any false moves could spell the end for the others. Not only that, they also knew that if they didn't do something then everyone would die.
"There has to be a way out of this!" Akiza said to herself. "There just has to be!"
"There is no way out of this, little girl." Hisashi said as he kept his attention towards Lilly. "There are only two roads for you all. Either one of you dies or all of you die."
As the arrogant young man started laughing again, Takashi noticed that the switched to deactivate the ceiling was just behind Hisashi and that it was being left unguarded. He then turned his attention towards Lilly and saw from the look on her face that she was about to let go of the ceiling and attack Hisashi and any moment. It was then that the young man quickly formed a plan in his mind and began to act upon it.
"Lilly!" He called.
Lilly turned her head slightly, while trying to keep the ceiling up. She then looked at her friend as she saw his mark glowing, causing a blue aura to surround him.
"I know that you want to stop this guy…so here is what you need to do." He said. "I've been training on how to use this power ever since the battle against Sayer and the Arcadia Movement. I haven't made much progress, but I can summon this aura on my own for short periods of time. It gives me an extra boost of strength, which should allow me to support your weight along with my own."
"What are you trying to say Takashi?" Crow asked.
"What I'm saying is that I want Lilly to go and deactivate the Gate while I hold her part of the ceiling up!" Takashi answered. "It's the only way we can all survive this!"
"But Takashi…" Toru interjected. "If that's the case why don't I…"
Before Toru could finish his sentence, Lilly quickly ran out of the Gate. This caused the ceiling to fall slightly, forcing everyone to struggle even more than before. Luckily for everyone, Takashi's boost of strength allowed them to keep the ceiling from crushing them all.
"It has to be Lilly…" He thought. "She needs to get rid of the personal issues she has with this Hisashi guy."
Upon reaching the outside of the Gate of Betrayal, Lilly quickly ran for the switch that would release her friends. However, before she could get close enough to it, a strong cable appeared and connected itself to her Duel Disk. When she turned around, Lilly saw that it was Hisashi who through the cable as he proceeded to connect the other end of it to his own Duel Disk.
"Don't you dare think that you can just leave the Gate and pull the lever!" Hisashi said as he placed the Duel Disk on his arm. "If you truly want to save your friends then you also have to beat me. However, I should warn you that I'm not at the same level that I was 2 years ago. I've been training every day since then and this time, you will not defeat me!"
"Shut up and Duel!" Lilly said in a fierce tone of voice as she knew that time was running out for the others.
Both Duelist inserted the Decks into their Duel Disk and proceeded to activate them both at the same time.
"LET'S DUEL!"
Lilly: 4000 LP
Hisashi: 4000 LP
"I'll go first…Draw!" Hisashi slowly drew a card from his deck and placed it into his hand.
Once he did that, the young man then took his time as he tried and decide what he should do next.
"Hurry the hell up!" Lilly demanded.
"Don't rush me Lilly…" Hisashi said in a sly tone of voice. "The beginning of a Duel is always important. I need to take my time and plan things accordingly. Doing that will surely allow me to prevail."
Lilly didn't buy into anything that Hisashi was saying. She knew well that all Hisashi wanted to do was delay the Duel until the Gate crushed her friends. This annoyed her greatly, but she knew well that there was nothing she could do at the moment.
Eventually, after about 3 minutes, Hisashi continued on with his turn.
"I Summon the Tuner Monster: Reese the Ice Mistress, in Attack Mode!"
Reese the Ice Mistress: ATK 800 DEF 800 LVL 2
As a small flash of light covered the field, a beautiful ice mistress appeared and stood in front of Hisashi. She was wearing a very colorful armor that consisted of light blue, yellow, white, a pink. The mistress also had beautifully pink hair and blue eyes, which went well with the armor that she was wearing.
"I then set one card face-down on the field and end my turn."
As the face-down card appeared behind Reese, Lilly began her turn.
"Draw…!" She yelled as she drew a card. "I Summon: Magician's Valkyria, in Attack Mode!"
Magician's Valkyria: ATK 1600 DEF 1800 LVL 4
As another flash of light appeared on the field, Magician's Valkyria appeared onto the field. The beautiful Spellcaster-Type monster stood in front of her master as she awaited orders from Lilly.
"Go Magician's Valkyria…Attack Reese the Ice Mistress with your Chaos Scepter Blast!" Lilly declared.
Valkyria complied with Lilly's orders and proceeded to fire a blast of green magical energy from her large scepter. The attack made contact with Reese, causing a holographic explosion to appear on the field.
Hisashi: 3200 LP
"How was that?!" Lilly asked with some confidence in her voice.
"How's what?" Hisashi replied.
As Lilly looked on, and saw the smoke clearing, she saw that Reese was still standing. The sight of this surprised her greatly.
"Sorry Lilly…" Hisashi said. "But my Reese the Ice Mistress can't be destroyed through Battle against monsters who's Levels are Level 4 or higher."
Lilly gritted her teeth in anger as Hisashi was probably expecting her on summoning a Level 4 or higher monster this turn.
"Stop spacing out Lilly!" Crow cried.
The young woman turned towards her friends and saw that the ceiling was slowly making its way down towards them. She also saw that Takashi was having an extremely hard time supporting her portion of the ceiling as the use of his powers was causing him to become fatigued.
"Damn it…" She said softly. "I set one card face-down on the field and end my turn."
As a face-down card appeared behind Magician's Valkyria, Hisashi smiled to himself as he slowly began his turn.
"Draw…" He said as he added a card to his hand. "For this turn…I think I'll Summon: Elemental Hero Ocean, in Attack Mode."
Elemental Hero Ocean: ATK 1500 DEF 1200 LVL 4
A small whirlpool of water appeared in front of Hisashi as both he and Lilly watched E-Hero Ocean appear and stand by Reese. As the two monsters looked toward Lilly and her magician, the young woman already knew what was coming up next.
"Now…I think I'll Tune my Level 4 Elemental Hero Ocean with my Level 2 Reese the Ice Mistress to Synchro Summon: Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier."
Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier: ATK 2300 DEF 1400 LVL 6
Ocean and Reese jumped high into air and quickly performed the sequence for a Synchro Summoning. Once they did a bright flash of light covered the area as a new monster appeared onto the field. This monster was a giant Ice Dragon with beautiful blue scales and red eyes. On the top of the dragon's head was red ruby, which shined as bright as an evening star.
"I knew that he was going to Synchro Summon a monster this turn." Lilly thought. "Well that's fine with me, I'm ready for it. The moment that monster attacks I'll activate my Mirror Force Trap Card. With Mirror Force, all Attack Position monsters on his side of the field will be destroyed, thus leaving him vulnerable to a Direct Attack."
"Now…I think I'll attack with my Brionac" Hisashi said. "But before I do, I'm going to activate its Special Ability. By discarding any number of cards from hand to the Graveyard, I can send that same number of cards on the field to their owner's hand."
"What?!" Lilly said in shock.
Hisashi took two cards from his hand and inserted them into his Graveyard. Once he did that, Brionac's ruby started glowing even brighter as the dragon looked towards Lilly.
"I discard two cards to return your face-down card and Magician's Valkyria back into your hand." Hisashi said with a smile on his face.
As the glow of Brionac's ruby glowed even brighter than before, both of Lilly's cards began to disappear from the field.
"Oh…no…" Crow said as the weight was beginning to overcome him. "Lilly…"
"Now then Lilly…" Hisashi said. "With you all alone I think I'll have my Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier…ATTACK YOUR LIFE POINTS DIRECTLY!"
Brionac yelled furiously as it proceeded to fire a giant ice beam attack from its large mouth. The attack hit Lilly, causing an explosion to appear around her.
Lilly: 1700 LP
As the smoke around her began to clear Lilly was still somewhat shaken up by the attack just made on her by Brionac. The sight of this caused Hisashi to break out laughing.
"How do you like that you little Bitch?!" He said. "Don't worry they'll be more coming your way very soon. You're going to pay for what you did to my big brother Kalin! You're going to lose your friends just like how I lost him!"
Hisashi's words caused Lilly to remember about something that happened in the past. Upon remembering that event, a sad expression appeared on her face.
"Now…Let's continue with your suffering. I think I'll play the Spell Card: Monster Reborn, to revive my Reese the Ice Mistress, in Defense Mode. After that I'll set one card face-down and end my turn."
As Reese reappeared on the field, a face-down card appeared behind her and Brionac. The two monsters then looked towards Lilly as she continued to remember about the past.
Meanwhile, back at the Gate, Takashi and the other were still struggling to keep the ceiling up. Akiza joined Takashi and used her powers to try and keep everyone from being crushed. However, even though their powers were buying them time, everyone was already on both knees and fatigue was starting to kick in.
"Damn…we're running out of time here." Aiku said. "If Lilly doesn't do something quickly, all of us are going to end up becoming pancakes."
"Yeah…what's taking Lilly so long to crush this guy?" Toru asked.
"It's a long story…" Crow said. "I'll explain it later."
The Blackwing Duelist looked towards Lilly as he saw her starting to lose hope. Not wanting to see her like that, Crow did the only thing he thought he could do for her.
"Lilly, you need to snap out of it!" He yelled. "What happened back then wasn't your fault and you know it. Look, I know how much you cared about Kalin, but it was his own fault that he ended up dying. Besides…if you truly want to honor him as the person he use to be…then you must defeat Hisashi and set us free. Once you do that we can stop Amon and his cronies!"
Lilly looked toward her friends and saw all of them looking at her. Each of them nodded their head, giving off their belief that they trusted Lilly to help them and they would support her through this struggle. With this support, Lilly nodded her own head before wiping some of the tears that were coming from her eyes. She then turned her attention towards Hisashi.
"Listen Hisashi…" She said. "I know you blame me for Kalin's death and, in a sense, you have every right to be angry with me. However, I won't let you stop me from defeating Amon. I won't let his plan come to pass!"
"Shut up Lilly!" Hisashi yelled. "You have no right to say something like that! Besides, you won't defeat me. Not as long as I have my Brionac, the Dragon of the Ice Barrier out on my field!"
"Well…very soon your dragon is going to be on my side of the field. I Draw…!"
Lilly swiftly drew a card from her deck with a new confidence in her eyes. She then looked at the cards in her hand and quickly formed a strategy that would enable her to make good on her attempt to control Brionac.
"First I play the Spell Card: Swords of Revealing Light! With this, you won't be able to attack me with any of your monsters for 3 turns."
Out from the sky, several golden appeared and struck Hisashi's side of the field. The power of the swords caused both his monsters to be frozen in place.
"I then set 4 cards face-down on the field and Summon: Magician's Valkyria, in Attack Mode. After that, I end my turn."
As Magician's Valkyria reappeared by Lilly and took a defensive position of her, 4 face-down cards appeared behind the Spellcaster.
"My turn…Draw!" Hisashi yelled. "I Summon: Spined Gillman, also in Attack Mode!"
Spined Gillman: ATK 1300 DEF 0 LVL 3
As a giant whirlpool formed on Hisashi's side of the field, Lilly saw a giant sea serpent appear. The serpent had blue and purple scales and was holding a red trident in the palm of its hand.
"When Spined Gillman is on the field all Fish, Sea Serpent and Aqua-Type monsters receive 400 extra Attack Points.
Reese the Ice Mistress: ATK 1200
Spined Gillman: ATK 1700
Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier: ATK 2700
"Next, I send 2 cards from my hand to the Graveyard to send your Swords of Revealing Light and one of your face-down cards back into your hand!"
Brionac's ruby started glowing again as Hisashi placed two cards into the Graveyard while Lilly returned the two cards he choose back into her hand. Once they finished, Lilly proceeded to activate her other face-down card.
"I activate the Trap: Threatening Roar!" She declared. "With this Trap, you can't attack me this turn!"
"I don't think so bitch!" Hisashi replied. "I also activate a Trap Card: Seven Tools of the Bandit! By giving up 1000 Life Points, I can negate the activation of your Trap and destroy it."
Hisashi: 2200 LP
"Now…with that Trap Card out of the way…I can now attack your Valkyria with my Brionac!"
The mighty Dragon of the Ice Barrier launched its ice attack and Valkyria, freezing the mage in an instant. Shortly after that, the ice shattered into several pieces, killing Valkyria.
Lilly: 600 LP
"Well, well…looks like this is the end for you Lilly." Hisashi said with a smile on his face. "The time is now for me to avenge Kalin. Spined Gillman, attack her Life Points Directly!"
Gillman complied with its orders and prepared to end the Duel with one final blow. As everyone at the Gate looked on, Lilly proceeded to activate her 3rd face-down card."
"I activate the Trap Card: Defense Draw!" She declared. "With this Trap Card, the Battle Damage from this attack becomes 0 zero and I get to draw a card."
Gillman's Trident ran struck Lilly's body as the young woman drew another card from her deck. Once looked at the card, the young woman smiled and placed it onto her Duel Disk.
"I Special Summon: Watapon, in Defense Mode!"
Watapon: ATK 200 DEF 300 LVL 1
A small flash of light appeared on Lilly's side of the field as adorable creature with fluffy fur and huge blue eyes appeared beside her.
"When I draw Watapon outside of my Draw Phase, I can Special Summon onto the field."
Hisashi glared at Lilly as she stood confidently with her new monster. The sight of this, along with the fact that he didn't have any more cards in his hand only fueled his hatred towards his opponent.
"You're only delaying the inevitable Lilly…" He said. "One way or another, you are going to pay for what you did to my brother."
"I already know that Hisashi…" Lilly said as she began her turn. "But today isn't going to be that day! I Draw…!"
Upon drawing a card from her deck, Lilly smiled as she heard a voice from inside of her mind.
"It's time to end this." The voice said to her.
Lilly nodded her head as she proceeded to place the card into her hand. After that she proceeded to activate her final face-down card.
"I activate the Trap Card: DNA Surgery!" She declared. "For as long as this card is out, every monster will become the type that I choose and the one I choose is Dragon!"
Hisashi looked on as he saw all of his monsters begin taking on dragon-type characteristics. As that was happening, Lilly quickly activate one of the Spell Cards that was in her hand.
"Next, I activate the Spell: Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw two more cards from my deck."
Lilly swiftly drew the top two cards from her deck and placed them into her hand. Once she did that, Lilly placed the card that she drew at the beginning of her turn, onto her Duel Disk.
"Now, I sacrifice Watapon to Summon: Dark Magician Girl, in Attack Mode!"
Dark Magician Girl: ATK 2000 DEF 1700 LVL 6
In a bright flash of pink light, Dark Magician girl appeared on the field and promptly stood beside Lilly. Through the power of DNA Surgery, the beautiful magician began developing dragon type characteristics, such as scales and fangs.
"What the hell are you trying to do Lilly?!" Hisashi asked angrily. "Your pathetic Dark Magician Girl is may be strong enough to destroy my Spined Gillman, but it's nowhere near the strength to defeat my Brionac!"
"I know that Hisashi…" Lilly admitted. "But Brionac is going to help Dark Magician Girl."
"And what makes you think that?" He asked.
Lilly smiled as she turned her head slightly towards Takashi. She then saw the young man smiling at her as she activated another one of her Spell Cards.
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell: Super Polymerization! With this Spell, I can Fusion Summon using monsters on my side of the field and your side of the field. I fuse my Dark Magician Girl with your Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier to Fusion Summon: Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight!"
Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight: ATK 2600 DEF 1700 LVL 8
A giant vortex appeared above the field, causing both of the Fusion Material monsters to be sucked inside of it. After a few minutes, Dark Magician Girl appeared in her dragon armor while she rode on top of Brionac.
"Lilly, you bitch!" Hisashi said. "How dare you take my monster, I will make you pay for that."
"You won't be doing anything Hisashi, because Dark Magician Girl gains several unique abilities when she's in her Dragon Knight Mode." Lilly explained. "The first is that she gains half the attack points of the dragon she fused with."
Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight: ATK 3750
"Next, she also gains all of the abilities of the Dragon she fused with. Meaning that I can send the last two cards I have in my hand to the Graveyard, to send your Spinded Gillman and Reese the Ice Mistress back into your hand!"
"What?!" Hisashi looked on in shocked as he saw his remaining monster vanish from the field the moment, Brionac's ruby started glowing.
Once the field Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight was on the only monster on the field, Lilly proceeded to end the Duel.
"Attack Dark Magician Girl…" She ordered. "Go, Burning Sub-Zero!"
Dark Magician Girl raised her sword and fired a blast of magical energy towards Hisashi. Once that happened, Brionac fired its ice attack towards its former master as well. The two attacks combined into one giant blast, which proceeded to consume Hisashi entirely.
Hisashi: 0 LP
As the holograms slowly began to fade away, Lilly disconnected the cable that attached to her Duel Disk and ran straight for the lever that operated the Gate of Betrayal. Once she got to it, she lifted it up so that the ceiling would rise.
The other soon noticed this and quickly let go of the ceiling, allowing them to rest their arms.
"Thank you Lilly…" They all said in unison.
Lilly looked towards them as she sighed with relief. She then turned her attention towards Hisashi, as he was in disbelief.
"Hisashi…" She thought. "I know how you feel when it comes to revenge. However, getting revenge on someone doesn't magically bring the person who you lost back to life. All it does it bring more hatred, which continues into a never-ending cycle. One day…I hope you can figure that out."
The young woman walked around the area for a few moments until she found what she was looking for. She then proceeded to place her hand on the stone wall, pushing out a small brick. Once it was out, she put her hand inside the hole and quickly grabbed a piece of paper.
"This is it." She said quietly to herself.
Lilly walked back towards her friends made sure that all of them were okay. Upon confirming that they were, the 6 of them left the area before anything else would happen. Once they were outside the hideout, all walked towards the Duel Runners.
"Did you find it Lilly?" Crow asked.
"Yeah…" She replied as she started typing something into her Duel Runners. "I'm now uploading the information on every bomb into your Duel Runners. That way, you guys won't have any trouble finding them."
"You guys…?" Takashi said as he walked over towards the two of them. "What do you mean by you guys?"
Lilly closed her eyes for a few moments as she remembered how angry Hisashi was at her. She also remembered that no one outside of Team Satisfaction knew about Kalin's death, beside from Martha. These realizations caused her to have a fierce expression on her face as she turned back towards the others.
"What I mean is that you all are going to deactivate the bombs before they explode. While you're doing that…I'm going to take care of Amon."
