Rezo's army had advanced through the planet and in few days they had conquered almost all countries . The last resisting nations were the United States of America and Russia . Ichiro and Hanna went to the United States while Xanagazu and the vassal went to Russia . They were going to conquer them until sunrise .
At Rezo's castle things seemed to have turned back to normal . Rezo had recovered the enormous amout of energy which he had lost and had also casted a spell on his throne chamber turning it back to normal . Now the Det Nye Riket spell was reaching the final phase . Rezo could feel his connection with the planet grow higher and higer . Once the dark evil sun would rise he would remodelate the planet the way he wanted . And now there wasn't much time left . In about fifteen minutes the sun would rise .
" Shagrath , report me on what's happening on Earth ! "
" Yes , Lord Rezo , apparently Ichiro and the rest of your servants had managed to conquer almost all the countries and are now fighting the last two opponents : the United States and Russia . " Shagrath said and turned on a screen . " See for yourself ! "
Rezo sat on his throne and saw Xanagazu and the vassal facing in duels the best duelists of Russia in Moscow . Meanwhile the clone troops were taking down the last russian resistences .
" You really think that you can stop us ? Dream on , kiddos ! " Xanagazu said . " I summon Cyber X Xanadu and send Nariel , the Oracle to the bottom of your deck meaning that my Aku Zen can now attack ! Ike , Aku Zen , break his final shields ! "
" Also , shield trigger activate , I cast Memories of the Planetary Dragon and turn all my shields into shield triggers ! " the vassal said . " Shield trigger activate , I summon Milzam , Spirit of Miracles and add five more cards to my last shield ! And now my turn , I summon Necrodragon Bryzenaga and break my last shield ! "
The vassal then smiled as his last shield got broken into many pieces . He then reached his hand in the air as the shards united themselves into six cards which all went to his hand .
" Shield trigger activate , I summon Kolon , the Oracle and Aqua Surfer ! "
" Oh no , my last blockers ! " the opponent spoke shocked .
" Heh , Milzam , double break his shields and Kolon , break his final shield ! " the vassal continued . " And now , Aqua Surfer , totomeda ! "
" Also , Qurian , totomeda ! " Xanagazu added .
With the defeat of the final duelists and the conquering of Moscow , Russia now belonged to Rezo . The Red Priest seemed glad of this victory , but he wanted more . He wanted to see America's downfall once and for all .
" Shagrath , show me what's happening at Washington DC now ! "
" As you wish , Lord Rezo ! " Shagrath replied and pressed a button .
On the screen appeared something which Rezo wanted to see in ages . Washington DC with all of its futuristic buildings and robots was on fire . People were either hold as hostages or killed . The clones were marching towards victory . No soldier nor robot was able to stop them . Ichiro and Hanna were advancing towards the White House which had all its defense systems down for good . Once the president would be out of the way , nothing would stop them . In only a few minutes the president and his wife were now facing Ichiro and Hanna in two duels of life and death . The battle was epic but it was clear who the winners would be .
" I evolve Leonidas , White Knight Spirit into White Knight HEAVEN , Lord of Spirits ! " Hanna said and a giant angel robot made of gold which was painted in dark blue appeared behind her . " Send her last two creatures to her shields ! And now , HEAVEN , break her final shields ! "
" Oh no ! " the wife of the president exclaimed scarred .
" I evolve Deathraios , Cursed Blade Reaper into XENOM , the Reaper King ! " Ichiro said and a giant faceless blue skinned goat demon with enormous dark bat wings and weilding a staff which had a Ballom head on it appeared behind him and roared . " Ike , XENOM , break his final shields ! Also , Break Bonus , you'll discard a card for each shield XENOM broke which means bye bye to all the cards from your hand ! "
" Impossible ! " the president spoke as he lost all the cards from his hand .
" That's it , the sun's about to rise ! Go , Ichiro and Hanna , slay them now and open to me the path to eternal glory ! " Rezo said while looking at the duels .
" White Knight Ulphas , Lord of Spirits , totomeda ! " Hanna ordered .
" Bell Hell De Gaul , Footprint of the Reaper , totomeda ! " Ichiro ordered .
With those duels ending the fate of the Earth had been decided . The last resistences had kneeled in front of Rezo's army and there was nothing standing in their way . That was when the sun rose . The Det Nye Riket spell's final phase began and Rezo got sorrounded by a dark red aura and got shiny red eyes . The Red Priest turned to planet Earth and with an evil laugh flew to it . All the inhabitants of the castle were shocked , except for Tabitha and Shagrath which knew what was going on .
Rezo was flying towards Earth with a really fast speed and a really powerful will . The faster he had that planet under control the better . At last he was face to face with the giant blue sphere . He was staring at it as if it was nothing more than a worthless ant .
" Planet Earth , this morning your fate is sealed FOREVER !!! " Rezo growled and fired a powerful red beam from his right hand .
The red beam was combined with the negative powers of the dark sun and together they entered the core of the planet . As this happened , the surface of the planet turned into light red . The people were all shocked because they knew it was the end .
Dorballom managed to escape planet Earth along with Kokujo , doctor Root and the chosen duelists which were inside the UFO . Once they were far enough from it Dorballom turned back and showed to evreyone what was happening to Earth . They were all shocked to see that Rezo was firing a strange beam into the planet .
" What's he doing ? " Rad asked .
" Is he trying to destroy Earth ? " Tsugumi asked .
" Or change its environment ? " Sora asked .
" Or its inhabitants ? " Edo asked .
" Or is he trying to unite with the planet ? " Subaru asked .
" I think that we should expect the worse ! " doctor Root spoke sweating .
Kokujo didn't have anything to say . All could he do was stand back and watch Rezo doing his thing .
" THIS IS IT , EARTH , FOREVER AND EVER YOU AND ME WILL STAY TOGETHER ! " Rezo screamed and was about to clutch his fist . Once he would've clutched his fist , the Earth would've been changed forever .
Just as Rezo was about to do it , his scepter shined and the Proof of Duelmaster came out of it and flew in front of Rezo . The Red Priest was surprised to see that the Proof was for the first time acting by its own . Tabitha on the other hand knew that this would happen . She then spoke to Shagrath :
" Rezo's gonna have a difficult choice to make , Shagrath . "
" What do you mean , Tabitha ? "
" The choice which he would now make will change his life forever ! I just hope he makes the right choice . "
The Proof shined with a powerful light in front of Rezo . The Red Priest was wondering what was going on . Then he heared a strange voice calling his name . At first he was confused but then he realised who was calling him .
" The Proof of Duelmaster ? You're...calling me ? "
" Yes , Rezo , the Red Priest . The time has come – you desire to remake this planet after your own will and then rule it , but evreything in this world must have a price . "
" I know , the laws of alchemy . " Rezo replied .
" Yes , Rezo , that's why the condition for you remaking planet Earth will be the loss of your wizard powers . What do you say , Rezo , do you agree with that ? "
" HAHAHAHAHAHA , FOOLISH JEM ! YOU REALLY THOUGHT THAT I GIVE A DAMN IF I LOSE MY POWERS OR NOT ?! " Rezo said and grabbed the Proof with his left hand . " AS LONG AS YOUR POWERS ARE IN MY HANDS , I HAVE EVREYTHING I'LL EVER NEED , HAHAHAHAHAHA !!! "
Rezo placed the Proof back on his staff and then concentrated all his energy in his right hand . With a loud scream he amplifyed the beam's power and planet Earth turned completely red . All its inhabitants had been put into temporary sleep so that Rezo could do that he wished with them . All this process was consuming his energy , but he didn't give up . He was now doing what almost any human would have ever wished – to make his own home where he could rule . Rezo decided that the planet's structure was far too complicated for him to rule it . He had to somehow simplify it .
Rezo first used his powers and united all continents into one single continent . Then he destroyed evreything which was on it , including life species . Afterwards he created all he wished on the continent : a beach , two factories ( one for chemicals , the other for oil – both bringing Tabitha fuel for her spells ) , a misteryous ruined castle which was near a lake , a night gambling city called Rezo Vegas similar to Las Vegas , an unique mountain which had an unique forest on it and an unique cave inside it , an unique desert which was very vast , an abandoned city where he sent all the spirits of the humans there and finally a castle which served as his base on the planet . This was his world and now it was all his .
Exactly when Rezo finished his spell he felt weakened . It was then when he had lost all his wizard powers and was about to fall in space forever , but Tabitha arrived just in time to save him with her broomstick and bring him back to his flying castle in space .
Meanwhile at Kokujo's UFO . All of them were amazed of what had just happened . They had no words for what Rezo had just done to their home .
" What should we do now ? " Kokujo asked Dorballom .
" My suggestion is to land on Earth before Rezo does . That way we'll have time advantage on our side and he'll also spend time trying to find our position . " Dorballom answered and flew with the UFO in his hands back on Earth .
Back at Rezo's castle . The army of clones was put to sleep . All of them deserved some rest after their battle against the Earth's resistences . Ichiro , Hanna , Xanagazu , the vassal , Shagrath and Tabitha were all standing alligned in the throne chamber while Rezo passed them all and sat on his throne . He looked at his servants with his blue and yellow eyes which were showing only satisfaction .
" Today , my servants , we've accomplished the main objective of this whole journey . Now you are all loyal members of my kingdom ! "
Rezo got up from his throne as the castle slowly moved towards Earth . He walked happily to his servants which were surprised of seeing for the first time their master being happy .
" Let's all rejoice this victory , my servants ! We shall establish on planet Earth and rule it forever ! "
" I'm sorry to be the one binging bad news , Rezo , but it's not over ! "
" What do you mean , Tabitha ? " Rezo asked while staring at the blonde witch .
" That demon Dorballom had managed to save Kokujo Kyoshiro , doctor Root and the five chosen duelists and fly away with them before you could do any change to the planet . Most likely they'll try to get their hands on the Proof and face you once again so my suggestion would be... "
Suddenly Rezo hit a wall with his fist making a small hole in it . His happiness had now turned into anger . He then got a plan for the final anihilation of his enemies and spoke :
" Those brats had stayed in my way long enough ! Tabitha , Shagrath , Xanagazu and vassal , you're coming with me on Earth ! I shall take care of those bastards once and for all ! Ichiro , Hanna , you wake up seven clones and bring them to me , they'll be joining me on my trip to Earth ! After this you two have the duty to stay here and watch over the maids and other clones ! If needed we'll return here ! Evreyone has understood their jobs ? "
" Yes , Lord Rezo ! " they all answered and bowed .
" Good , be ready in 30 minutes for leaving ! " Rezo spoke and got out from the throne chamber .
Dorballom and the chosen duelists were now approaching the Earth's atmosphere . Once they would land on the planet , the journey against Rezo would begin once again . Doctor Root was checking the UFO's motors hoping that he would find a way to fix them . Kokujo was standing all by himself in a corner staring at his Ballom Monarch card . Rad was checking the motors of his rocket for he knew that he would need it sooner or later . Sora was meditating while sitting on a sofa . Edo knew that once again their lives would be in danger so he spent these final moments of peace with his friends , Subaru and Tsugumi , playing video games .
Rezo and his team were the first to land on Earth . They all landed at the castle which he created to serve as their headquarters . Once they landed , they all began their work . Rezo's orders were precise . Tabitha and Shagrath had to work on a spell which would finish the chosen duelists once and for all , Xanagazu and the vassal had to work on something 'important' and the clones had to come with Rezo . He had a special mission for each one of them .
" I'm sencing something , Shagrath . " Tabitha spoke intrerrupting her spell study .
" What is it ? " Shagrath asked while getting the ingredients for the spell ready .
" The chosen duelists have entered the Earth's atmosphere , I can sence it ! I must take care of them by myself once and for all ! "
Tabitha then took out her broomstick and flew away by her own leaving a confused Shagrath watch her fly in the air . Dorballom was preparing to land along with the UFO when something happened . Tabitha appeared out of nowhere in front of the giant goat demon and spoke :
" You have stood in my way long enough , you demon wannabe ! It is time to show you what I'm made of ! "
" Bring it on , old hag ! " Dorballom replied and was about to attack Tabitha .
" You've asked for it ! " Tabitha said and took out her wand . " DEMON GENOCIDER !!!! "
A powerful orange ray came out from her wand and struck Dorballom so hard that he had no other choice than to teleport back into the creature world . Once Dorballom was gone Kokujo's UFO fell at highspeed and landed on the Emerald Beach .
" With Dorballom out of the way they'll be exposed to my magic . Until now my job here is done ! " Tabitha said and flew away . " Rezo has given up his powers and is now a normal human depending on his dueling deck and the Proof of Duelmaster which would suck his life energy if he uses it for evil purposes . In other words I'm the most powerful person in here ! Hehehe , I wonder how long should I keep up this sharade and keep Rezo the 'leader' of the Earth... "
Kokujo's UFO landed at the Emerald Beach . The landing wasn't a nice one , but no one was hurt . The UFO's door opened and out of it the chosen duelists , Kokujo and doctor Root came out . They were all dizzy because of the hard landing .
" Is evreyone ok ? " doctor Root asked .
" Yeah , we're fine . " Sora answered after seeing that none of them was bleeding or had serious injuries .
" Man , this beach is so beautiful ! " Tsugumi said and took off her clothes . " I wanna have a nice bath right now ! "
" Did she say bath ? " Edo asked and looked at Subaru . " You know what this means , right ? "
" Last one in the water is a rotten egg ! " Subaru said and took off his clothes while running towards the water .
" That's you , Suby ! " Edo said and did the same .
" Tsh , kids... " Kokujo murmed and walked to the UFO to help Root repair it .
Subaru and Edo jumped in the water and swam a little farther . Then they started splashing eachother with water . Tsugumi didn't swim too far . She just wanted to float on the water having the sun warm her skin . That was her way of relaxing .
Rad was the only one which wasn't relaxing or working on the UFO . Sora noticed that while she was putting sand on her skin to treat herself .
" Rad , is something wrong ? "
" Yes , I feel as if something's coming to us . " Rad answered and walked a few steps in the opposite direction of the sea .
The red haired boy then saw something big . At first the wind wouldn't let him see what it was but once it was over he saw that a giant factory was operating near the beach . He was amazed of the giant building and then he thought that Rezo must be close by . Rad ran back to his friends to warn them of what was going on .
" Guys ! Guys ! " he yelled while approaching them .
" Huh ? What is it , Rad ? " Sora asked and got up from the sand .
" Did you find something ? " Kokujo also asked while getting out of the UFO .
" Guys , I found Rezo's factory ! " Rad said and stopped running .
" Huh ? A factory here in the middle of nowhere ? " Kokujo asked surprised .
Tsugumi was floating on the water relaxed . All her pain and suffering was gone away and it was thanks to the crystal clean water which had an acceptable cold temperature . The sun's divine rays were reflected on the crystal blue liquid which sorrounded her angelic body . The same rays were warming her white skin making it shine like the most precious gold ever to be seen . The girl then opened her eyes wanting to see what Subaru and Edo were doing but then she saw something in the sky . At first it seemed to be a bird but when she looked better she saw that it was a silver helicopter .
" Guys , someone's coming ! " she shouted and jumped out of the water .
" Oh great... " Kokujo sighed . " Tsugumi , tell Subaru and Edo to get out of the water and you all dress up ! Rad , Sora , you go back in the UFO and... "
Before Kokujo could finish his sentence the helicopter approached the ground and they could see that theone piloting it was none other than Rezo ! The Red Priest gave them all an evil smile and kept his helicopter flying above the ground but enough close to it so that evreyone could see him .
" Rezo ! " Kokujo , Rad and Sora exclaimed .
" It's been some time , Kokujo Kyoshiro and chosen duelists ! " Rezo replied . " I honestly didn't think that all of you would survive my reign and the changes I brought on planet Earth but I do think that this is because of the failures which some of my servants are ! "
" Rezo , we survived because we were strong enough and we all had the will to beat you ! Together we'll always have at least a chance to bring down your reign ! " Kokujo spoke proudly and made a step towards Rezo's helicopter . " Come on , bastard , bring it on ! Zap us , this will show what a coward you are ! Or duel us , at least one of us will fall like a man ! "
" Oh , I'm terribly sorry , but it is not me the one you'll face today ! " Rezo said smiling and snapped his hands . A car with a sharp drill in front of it appeared from the factory and stopped behind the helicopter . " This is your challenge ! " Rezo continued as a clone duelist came out of it and walked to Kokujo , Sora and Rad .
" So who wants to die by my hand today ? " the clone duelist asked and took out his glowing deck .
" Don't waste your time and energy with this guy , Kokujo ! " Rad said and walked towards the clone . " I will be the one facing you , clone ! "
" Heh , bring it on , red haired boy ! "
Tsugumi , Subaru and Edo came to them all dressed up . They were all shocked to see Rezo again , but they knew that sooner or later they'd face him . Rezo then fixed his eyes on them and spoke to Rad :
" Chosen fire duelist , this duel shall be a duel with conditions ! "
" Sounds interesting , and what the condition might be ? " the red haired boy asked .
" If the last shield of my clone is broken , I'll fire the drill from his car towards you friends ! Let's see if they'll be able to not get hurt , hehe ! " Rezo laughed .
" You're such a despicable being , Rezo , but if there's no other choice than to put my friend's lives in danger in order to save the world then I see myself forced to do it ! " Rad replied as the dueling tables rose from the ground .
" Wow , I never knew that Rad was able to create such a complex sentence ! " Edo spoke amazed .
" Shut it , dimwit , or else ! " Rad said and gave Edo a terrifying gaze making the brown haired boy tremble .
The duel between Rad and the clone began . After a few short turns .
" I summon Cocco Lupia ! " Rad said and a red fire bird appeared behind him .
" I cast God Signal and put Shine Valkyrie , Heavenly God from my deck to the top of my deck ! And I also summon God Lupia ! " the clone said .
" I summon Bolshack Yamato Dragon ! " Rad said and a giant dragon wearing a red samurai armor with a horned helmet and a long golden sword appeared behind him and roared . " Ike , Yamato Dragon , double break his shields ! Cocco Lupia , break his shield ! "
The clone took cover as Rad's creatures broke three of its shields . The clone took the cards to his hand and spoke :
" Shield trigger activate , I cast Transmogrify and destroy Bolshack Yamato Dragon and replace it with the next creature from your deck ! "
Bolshack Yamato Dragon blew up and Rad revealed the next card from his deck which was Totto Pippichi and which he summoned .
" My turn , I summon Shine Valkyrie , Heavenly God ! " the clone said and a golden dragon like creature weilding a shiny scepter made of gold appeared behind him and roared .
" Is that seriously all you got ? " Rad asked bored . " I summon Bolmeteus Samurai Dragon ! "
" I-impossible ! " the clone spoke scarred and fell on his knees .
" I attack with Samurai Dragon and put one of my shields to the graveyard to use the creature's effect ! " Rad said . " Now with Bolmeteus's effect I'll destroy Shine Valkyrie and also the creature breaks your final shields ! "
Rezo then got an evil grin on his face . The duel's condition was going to happen . After Bolmeteus Samurai Dragon slashed the clone's final shields with the sword from its mouth , Rezo pressed a button and the drill from the clone's car had been fired towards Kokujo and the other chosen duelists . Kokujo had been prepared for that moment and once he heared Rezo pressing the button he pushed Subaru and Edo aside and then yelled to Sora to duck along with Tsugumi . As the girls did that he jumped in the air for a few seconds and the drill didn't hit anything and landed in the sea .
" Damn ! " Rezo spoke angry and hit his chair with his fist .
" You'll have to do better than that if you want to take us out ! " Kokujo spoke to the Red Priest with satisfaction in his voice .
" Shield trigger activate , I summon Aqua Surfer and send Totto Pippichi back to your hand ! " the clone said and showed a shiny card while trembling .
" Heh , nice but not enough ! " Rad said and then he yelled . " TIME TO FINISH THIS OFF ! COCCO LUPIA , TOTOMEDA !!! "
The fire bird flew with high speed and in just a second it hit the clone and made him fly in the air and land on the ground hurt . Rezo flew with his helicopter and took the clone in it . Afterwards he pressed a button and the clone's car rode back to the factory .
" Tsh , you won this small battle but it is I the one which shall win the war ! " Rezo said and flew away with his helicopter .
They all stared for a few seconds at the helicopter which was flying towards the giant factory which was at a small distance from the Emerald Beach . Then Kokujo got up and spoke to the chosen duelists :
" You've seen what our duels with Rezo and his minions will be now . I want you all to be more serious than ever ! This will be our final battle and if one of you dies then it's more than sure that Rezo has won ! "
" Kokujo is right ! " Sora said while getting up . " Remember the prophecy ? The Red Priest shall rise like the menacing storm clouds , but the five chosen duelists along with their five chosen cards will bring his fall on the day chosen by God ! If one of the chosen duelists dies in this mission then we're all doomed forever ! "
Doctor Root then came out from the UFO and walked to them . He was filled with oil and seemed tired .
" Kids , it will take me at least two days to bring this damn machine back to function ! I'm afraid that you'll have to wait until then if you need the UFO ! "
" I would use my rocket but only if needed . " Rad said .
" Doctor , we're going to hunt down Rezo . You stay here and fix the UFO and once you're done come and find us ! You can use the tracking system which I installed in the UFO's control room . " Kokujo said .
" Alright , then good luck ! " Root said and watched Kokujo and the chosen duelists which started walking towards the giant factory . " May God help us defeat Rezo this time ! " the doctor added .
