Kaizer's UFO was making its way through the snowstorm that was currently falling upon Siberia. It was a hard fight with the harsh climate, but as long as Kaizer's will was strong, they would not back down from anything. The map had to be complete and nothing would stand in the evil genius' way.
Inside the spaceship the cold began to be felt by the others. While Alwyn was trembling uncontrollably and searching for a heat source, Leona and Raiden were trying to hide their discomfort. At the main computer, Alien was watching the weather from outside and controlling the spaceship, trying to make it pass the storm faster.
"How is the work going, Alien?" Kaizer asked.
"Not too good, Kaizer-sama. This snowstorm is a huge detriment to our mission, sir. I don't think that the ship will be able to pass it and reach the desired destination." Alien gave the report.
"You fool, we cannot back down now! Not when we've gone this far!"
"But Kaizer-sama, we are still above the forest known as taiga and the map piece is located in the tundra. Until we manage to reach tundra we will have to pass the taiga, and this forest is large!"
"Do you really think that is an excuse, Alien? We're flying ABOVE the forest, so that shouldn't be a problem!"
"I'm afraid it is, Kaizer-sama. You see, this snowstorm is concentrated only upon the taiga. My meteorological programs showed me that now in the tundra there are no clouds and the weather is just fine. This means that…"
"This means that once we get to this tundra we will be able to search for the map piece easily. Now stop complaining about a little snowstorm and let's get on the move! The map piece waits for us, Alien, and so does our destiny!"
"But Kaizer-sama, can't we just land here and wait until the storm has passed?"
"And have Alwyn, Leona and Raiden freeze to death? I think not! I am not going to sacrifice the lives of my minions just because you fear the weather!"
"I understand, Kaizer-sama…"
Even if he did not like the situation, Alien obeyed his master and forced the UFO's motors to increase their energy. The spacecraft began to move faster and faster, but it was still halfway through the storm.
But little did Kaizer know that the chosen duelists had located his UFO and its trajectory. Nolan deduced that they were heading to the Siberian tundra and in order to reach it faster they decided to take a detour above the Arctic Ocean to avoid all the snowstorms. Now inside their ship Hanna was watching over Tsugumi, Luna and Tamma who were recovering from their wounds, Blane was sitting by Nolan's side who was piloting the ship and Subaru and Tiger were discussing with Robert their plan of action.
"We think that you should be the one to do it since you're the most solid of us all." Subaru said.
"I don't know, do you think you will be able to endure the cold?" Tiger skeptically asked.
"Ah, don't worry guys; I'll endure anything to help my friends!" Robert assured them. "Just tell me what I have to do."
"Alright, we will drop you in the tundra to search for the map piece. Nolan is currently calculating the exact coordinates of it based on Kaizer's UFO's trajectory. Once you find, you will probably meet up with Kaizer and his minions one way or another. If that's so, you will have to duel them!" Subaru explained.
"And what happens if I lose?" Robert asked.
"Tell them that we are alive and are coming after him. Also, don't let go of the map piece. This should make them take you as a hostage in his ship."
"But why would I being Kaizer's hostage be a good thing?"
"Because once inside you will be able to distract him and his goons. Do whatever you can to keep their attention focused on you. This should buy us enough time to launch a counter attack and get inside his UFO."
"Alright, it sounds dangerous, but I'll do it! Anything for you, old friend." Robert smiled and put his hand on Subaru's shoulder.
"Thank you for helping us." Subaru replied with a friendly voice. "Now let's get a move on! We've got a world to save!"
"Heh, now that's the attitude I like!" Tiger said.
In less than an hour the chosen duelist UFO had reached the Siberian tundra. As planned, they left Robert all alone there and hid the spacecraft a few feet away from the shore. Meanwhile the tall brown spiky haired duelist was left all alone to search for the map piece. Wearing thick boots, ski overalls, a thick jacket and earmuffs on his head, he was ready for the toughness of the sub polar weather.
Robert searched every bit of the beach he could find but there were nothing but small plants that could endure the cold. After long hours of pointless search, he decided that he would give up. Sighing, Robert sat on a rock to take a little break but that rock was too heavy for his body so it fell off the ground with him landing on the back.
"Ouch! Talk about a bad day!" Robert complained and got up.
However, that bad would soon prove to be a good one when he saw that on the place where the rock lied there was a piece of paper. He quickly picked it up and analyzed it. The lines drawn on it resembled a part of the Asian continent. That was what made him realized that it was the object he was looking for.
"Alright, I found the map piece!" Robert exclaimed. "It's time to get this thing home and…"
Before he could finish his sentence, a large shadow fell upon his body. Robert raised his head up and saw that Kaizer's UFO was floating above him. A beam of light fell out of the spaceship and it was followed by Kaizer himself, who descended into the field. The spiky haired teen was scared by the armored duelist for a moment but then he remembered the plan and calmed down.
"The map piece! Hand it over!" Kaizer ordered him.
"Sorry, pal, but this thing belongs to me!" Robert replied and hid it in his jacket's pocket.
"I see, so you want it the hard way. You heroes never learn."
Six purple spheres surrounded Kaizer and he reached his hand into one of them and took out a deck. Then they disappeared and two dueling tables rose from the cold ground. Robert also took out his deck and both players set their cards and made five shields rise for each, thus beginning their match.
"I cast Faerie Life and put the top card of my deck to the mana zone! Then Gravity Zero, I summon Bloody Shadow, Mystic Light Death Knight for free!" Robert said.
"I summon Jasmine, Mist Faerie and destroy it." Kaizer said and then he put the top card of his deck, Reckless Cut Scrapper, into his mana zone.
"I summon Bronze-Arm Tribe and put gain yet another mana card!"
This time the card that landed in Robert's mana zone was Queen Alcadeias, Holy Gaia.
"I case Bone Dance Charger." Kaizer said and the top two cards of his deck: Kiryu Jilves, Gaia's Roar and Terror Pit landed in his graveyard. "Then I put Bone Dance Charger into my mana zone and end."
"Alright, Kaizer, it is time to show you how to play this game!" Robert declared. "I cast Sanctuary of Mother and send Bronze-Arm Tribe to my mana zone. Then I evolve Bloody Shadow into the Queen Alcadeias, Holy Gaia from my mana zone!"
A female angel dressed in a golden armor with a red cape appeared behind Robert who smiled slyly at his opponent. Now Kaizer would not be able to cast any spells as long as they were not multicolored, thing which locked down his shield triggers. Being able to bring out Queen Alcadeias in the field so fast gave Robert the advantage he needed. Now he tapped his card and gave the attacking order to the creature:
"Queen Alcadeias, Holy Gaia, double break his shields!"
The angelic queen moved her hands around until she formed a sphere of light which she then tossed upon Kaizer's shields, taking two of them down. The shield shards floated around Kaizer for a while but then they both began to unite into two cards that when into his hand. Still, there was no reason for Robert to fear shield triggers as long as Queen Alcadeias was by his side. However Kaizer did not show the slightest bit of unease. The armored duelist simply drew his next card, charged mana and placed a nature card in the battle zone while saying:
"I summon Silver Shovel. With its effect I send both Silver Shovel and Queen Alcadeias to our mana zones!"
"Oh no, Queen Alcadeias!" Robert exclaimed.
A raccoon dressed in white robes wearing sunglasses and holding a shining silver shovel in his hands appeared in the battle zone and hit the angelic queen with it, both creatures disappearing and their cards landing in their respective owners' mana zones.
"Oh well, at least I got plenty of mana now." Robert looked on the bright side. "Anyway, I fortify one of my shields with Hustle Castle and end my turn."
"I summon Codename Bazagaze Ragon!" Kaizer said and a red armored dragon wielding a sharp metallic gun in its left hand and a sword combined with a chainsaw in its right hand appeared behind him. "Go, Bazagaze Ragon, double break his shields!"
The creature flew towards Robert and used its weapon to slash down two of his shields. But as he got the cards in his hand, he smiled thankfully to Kaizer for he had gotten exactly what he needed. Now that his turn had begun, Robert placed Faerie Life in his mana zone and tapped all nine cards. Then he showed two cards and said:
"I summon Jasmine, Mist Faerie and Olzekia, General of Decapitation! With Olzekia's effect I destroy Jasmine and your Bazagaze Ragon!"
"Tsh…" Kaizer murmured as his dragon got slashed into bits by the black demon's swords. "Is that all you've got, human?"
"Actually, nope. Hustle Castle also lets me draw two cards since I've put two creatures in the battle zone. And now I end!" Robert announced.
"My turn, I summon Necrodragon Onbashi Raon and Messa Danjiri Dragon. I end."
All of a sudden, Robert's hand glowed with a yellow and black aura and his eyes shined with a white light. He drew his next card and placed it upon his Olzekia card, beginning to shine with the same light his hand had.
"Olzekia, General of Decapitation, evolve into Ballcadeias, Divine Demonic Lord!" Robert shouted.
Olzekia shouted a war cry and then its body cracked open, out of which a blue-skinned goat demon with three pairs of hands, three pairs of wings, half of which were dark blue and the other half being white came out and stared down upon its owner's opponent.
"Ballcadeias, destroy all other creatures!" Robert said and the creature nodded and fired a beam of darkness that destroyed Kaizer's Dragons. "Now go, Ballcadeias, break his final shields!"
Ballcadeias moved his hands until a purple laser ball appeared which he casted upon Kaizer, destroying his last three shields. Once the attack was over and the steam cleared, Robert saw that Kaizer's armor had some small and almost unnoticeable burns. The shield shards had already united into the cards that went into his hand and now it was his turn. Robert smiled once again to his opponent and said:
"You have no shields, no creatures and you can't cast spells. Let's see you get out of this situation!"
"It will be my pleasure!" Kaizer replied and then his ten mana cards tapped themselves as he showed Robert a Zero civilization card. "I summon Greatest Great, Zenith of "Life"!"
A giant Spartan warrior wielding a lance in his left hand appeared in the battle zone facing Ballcadeias, the Zenith being even bigger than the hybrid Angel Command/Demon Command.
"Greatest Great's effect makes me put creatures with a total cost of 7 into the battle zone from my mana zone or graveyard. So I put Kiryu Jilves, Gaia's Roar and Jasmine, Mist Faerie from my graveyard into the battle zone!" Kaizer said and then a green creature with five eyes wielding a red scythe appeared behind him along with a small green haired faerie dressed in a brown dress. "Kiryu Jilves makes all my creatures speed attackers and slayers, so I now attack with Greatest Great, break his final shields!"
Greatest Great swung his giant lance and used it to cut down Robert's last three standing shields. The shield shards quickly united and turned into three cards, but Robert had the disappointment to not get any shield triggers.
"Jasmine, Mist Faerie, todomeda!" Kaizer ordered.
"Ninja strike 4, I summon Falconer, Lightfang Ninja and turn him into a blocker! Block the attack, Falconer!" Robert ordered and then both creatures got destroyed, Kaizer's Jasmine landing into his mana zone.
That was it; Robert had no more tricks to prevent Kaizer from defeating him. He was done for. However, Subaru's plan had to be continued, so instead of silently accepting his defeat, Robert put a hot shot attitude on and spoke to his enemy:
"Don't think that I'm finished yet, tin can!"
"What are you talking about?" Kaizer asked.
"Did you really think that your retard called Raiden could finish off my friends? You're heavily mistaken! They're alive and well, and they're coming right for you, Kaizer! Did you hear me? The chosen duelists will come and foil your plans even if I've lost!" Robert threatened him.
"That's enough! Kiryu Jilves, Gaia's Roar, todomeda!"
At Kaizer's order, the five eyed creature jumped at Robert and hit him with its scythe, throwing him away and having him land near the water. Kaizer packed his cards and walked to the unconscious Robert who was lying wounded on the snow. The armored duelist picked him up and then he teleported them both back into his UFO.
Inside the spacecraft Kaizer was greeted by his minions with cheers of applause not only for the victory but also for the trophy that he had brought. The armored duelist ignored the laurels and went to the first free table he could find and put the unconscious Robert there.
"Alien, scan his body and find where he has hidden the map piece!" Kaizer ordered.
"But Kaizer-sama, I thought you could do that yourself." Alien brought up.
"I am not in the mood for disobedience, minion!"
"I understand, sir!"
As Alien was preparing the body scanner on his computer Kaizer turned to his other three minions and set his eyes on Raiden. The anger that he had was easily seen through his red glowing eyes. Feeling that something was wrong, Raiden approached his master and said:
"Kaizer-sama, are you angry? Is something the matter?"
The response that came from Kaizer was a powerful slap on the face that left Raiden's left cheek all red.
"You have failed me, Raiden! The chosen duelists are still alive!" Kaizer expressed his problems.
"How is this possible? I swear that they were terminated when I left their UFO, master!" Raiden said while kneeling down in front of the armored being.
"Maybe they tricked you, la." Alwyn suggested.
"Now's not the time for your jokes, idiot!" Leona picked on him.
"Hey, it was just a suggestion, ah." Alwyn defended himself.
"I can't believe it! I gave you the power of Radio Roses and you're still a failure!" Kaizer angrily spoke and clenched his fist. "Those chosen duelists keep standing in my way like a persistent infection! There has to be a way to get rid of them!"
"Please, Kaizer-sama, let me take care of them! I promise that this time I will not fail!" Raiden begged.
"No, this time I will take matters into my own hands!" Kaizer replied.
"Good news, Kaizer-sama, I have found the map piece!" Alien said and then he took out the piece of paper from Robert's pockets and gave it to his master.
"Ah, at last someone does something useful around here!" Kaizer said and then he took out the rest of the map. "Good job, Alien! Now turn on the engines and let's get out of here! We have one more piece left to complete this puzzle!"
And so Kaizer's UFO took off to new lands to explore where they would find the last map piece. But little did they know that the chosen duelist UFO was right behind them, camouflaged and ready for the perfect moment when they could attack and save their friend Robert. Everything was just a matter of time.
