Yuto: Rosario?

Iris: What brings you here?

Rosario: I decided that I would move on and I thought I could get a job at KaibaCorp...I see you made new friends along the way...

Draco: Not to be rude, but we're in a bit of a hurry.

Rosario: I see...Since the elevator broke down, the only alternative would normally be the stairs...

Snake: Should have thought of that.

Draco: Shut up, lizard lips.

Snake: Make me, motor mouth.

Ace: As much as I like a showdown, this ain't the time for it!

Nakahara: He's right. We have to get to Avatar.

?: Well, that will never happen.

Yuto, comically annoyed: I should have known.

Iris, comically annoyed: Victor.

Victor: How very little you foolish worms know. I know more about you than you know of me.

Draco: Anyone with at least a small fraction of a brain cell can easily determine how predictable you are.

Victor, activating his Duel Disk: We'll see who's predictable when you all lose.

Rosario, activating his Duel Disk: I'll only say this once...Get off of KaibaCorp's property, whoever you are...

Victor: Back away, fool. I have business with them.

Rosario: No...You have business with me...And I'll make sure you don't go near them.

Victor: Very well. Prepare to lose to the strongest Duelist there is.

Rosario: I never saw you as strong, so I have no worries about losing...

Both players started off with 8000 Life Points and 5 cards each.

Morgan: Wait, I thought his Deck was destroyed.

Megan: And I remember them being fakes.

Draco: He started from scratch. Predictable.

Rosario: I'll start off by Summoning Vampire Sorcerer...

He then summons a vampire wielding dark magic powers.

(Vampire Sorcerer, Lvl 4, ATK 1500, DEF 1500, Dark, Zombie)

Vampire Sorcerer: Your greatness...I am ready for whatever comes our way...

Nakahara, comically shocked: Did that thing just talk?!

Draco: Well, it didn't just do nothing.

Rosario: Good...I now place 1 card face-down and end there...

Victor: Pathetic. I discard a Fiend to Special Summon Malicevorous Fork.

He then summons a small, vicious fiend wielding what appeared to be a fork.

(Malicevorous Fork, Lvl 2, ATK 400, DEF 400, Dark, Fiend)

Victor: Next, I Summon Malicevorous Knife.

He then summons a small, vicious fiend wielding what appeared to be a knife.

(Malicevorous Knife, Lvl 2, ATK 600, DEF 100, Dark, Fiend)

Victor: And since I Normal Summoned it, I can resurrect the Malicevorous Spoon in my Graveyard.

He then summons a small, vicious fiend wielding what appeared to be a spoon.

(Malicevorous Spoon, Lvl 2, ATK 100, DEF 500, Dark, Fiend)

Victor: Now I have all the Monsters I need. I activate Creature Swap to get your puny Vampire.

Rosario: Not if I play Dark Illusion, which negates and destroys a card that targets a Dark Monster...

Victor: I place 3 cards face-down and end my turn.

Rosario: I think I'll have my Vampire Sorcerer attack the weakest card you have...

Vampire Sorcerer: Understood, your greatness...

Victor: I activate the Trap, Hate Buster. When a Fiend is attacked, I can destroy it and your attacking Monster, and you lose Life Points by the original Attack of your Monster.

Rosario: I activate my Set Spell of Pain, making you take the damage instead...

Both creatures clashed, but exploded upon contact, but the debris was blasted towards Victor due to Rosario's quick thinking.

Victor: 8000-6500

Rosario: Also, since you destroyed Vampire Sorcerer, I can add a Vampire card from my Deck to my hand...I now banish him to allow me to Summon 1 without a sacrifice, but before I do that, I play Burial from a Different Dimension to bring him back to his tomb...I now Summon the Level 5 Vampire Duke...

He then summons a vampire with slicked black hair and a stereotypical vampire attire.

(Vampire Duke, Lvl 5, ATK 2000, DEF 0, Dark, Zombie)

Vampire Duke: And with my ruler's call to me, comes my call to the dead...

From a coffin, Vampire Sorcerer emerged and awakened.

Victor: Are you finished? It's my turn. I play Contract with the Dark Master. I sacrifice my 2 Malicevorous Monsters and send the Dark Titan of Terror from my hand to the Graveyard to Ritual Summon the Dark Master-Zorc.

He then summoned a massive, muscular fiend with massive powers of destruction.

(Dark Master-Zorc, Lvl 8, ATK 2700, DEF 1500, Dark, Fiend, Ritual)

Victor: And now to use its effect, Dark Catastrophe.

He grabbed a die and threw it. It landed on 1. With that, the fiend destroyed all of Rosario's Monsters in a stream of black flames it released.

Lexus: ...A card that's based on dice roll results...In this creature's case, a low rate is a super-critical, letting him destroy his enemies, while a high result is a fumble, where his creatures destroy themselves, while a medium result is a neutral, destroying 1 enemy...

Rosario: I activate Call of the Haunted to bring back my Vampire Duke, only for me to play the Trap Card, Vampire Takeover...When there is no Field Spell, and I control only Zombie Monsters, I can activate a specific Field Spell from my Deck and revive Vampire Sorcerer in Defense Mode...And the Field Spell I'm referring to is known as the Vampire Kingdom...

Out of nowhere, a giant castle appeared from the ground.

Rosario: This is where I rule...And where you're not welcome...I play Pot of Greed...This lets me draw 2 cards and Graceful Charity to draw 3 and discard 2...I now play Double Summon to Summon forth Vampire Hunter and Shadow Vampire...

He then summoned both a vampire slayer and a shadowy vampire clouded in all view, the latter being completely silent.

(Vampire Hunter, Lvl 4, ATK 1600, DEF 1600, Dark, Warrior)

(Shadow Vampire, Lvl 5, ATK 2000, DEF 0, Dark, Zombie)

Vampire Hunter: Sir, let me hunt down this worthless leech...

Rosario: Don't be so hasty...I use Shadow Vampire's effect to Special Summon Vampire Dragon...

He then summons a serpentine vampire that roared upon appearance.

(Vampire Dragon, Lvl 5, ATK 2400, DEF 0, Dark, Zombie)

Rosario: 8000-6000

Rosario: And since I Summoned a Zombie that was at least Level 5, and it was due to a Zombie, I pay 2000 Life Points to revive the Vampire Grace...

He then summons an elderly female vampire.

(Vampire Grace, Lvl 6, ATK 2000, DEF 1200, Dark, Zombie)

Vampire Grace: And now, for his royalty to take a Monster from your Deck and get rid of it.

With that, Victor discarded a Monster.

Rosario: And with the demise of a card, I can send the Vampire Genesis from my Deck to the Graveyard to destroy your creature...

With that, the castle opened and Vampire Genesis appeared, only to swiftly destroy his opponent.

Rosario: Now I Overlay my Vampire Dragon and Shadow Vampire to build the Overlay Network...

The shadow began absorbing the serpentine vampire, and started to take physical form.

Rosario: I Xyz Summon a Vampire of the highest caliber...A warrior that destroys all that oppose his ruler...A relentless knight that will claim victory for the Vampire Kingdom...Come to arms, Crimson Knight Vampire Bram...

The physical form was the same as the Shadow Vampire, only more clear. It was a vampire knight in armor wielding a sword and shield, both of which have a purple orb surrounding them each.

(Crimson Knight Vampire Bram, Rank 5, ATK 2500, DEF 0, Dark, Zombie, Xyz)

Yuto: Too cool.

Iris: I never heard of something like that.

Draco: Crimson Knight Vampire Bram. It's pretty powerful, but it comes with a cost.

Crimson Knight Vampire Bram, kneeling: My king...What are your commands...?...

Rosario: Use an Overlay Unit to Summon his creature...

Crimson Knight Vampire Bram: As you wish...

He then bashed the orb by the shield and that brought back Victor's Ritual Monster.

Rosario: Because Shadow Vampire's effect makes only Vampire Dragon attack, it was used for an Overlay Unit, and Crimson Knight Vampire Bram's effect makes your Monster the only Monster that can attack, I have no choice but to end my turn...

Victor, now going mad: How pathetic! I use Owner's Seal, so now I can use my Dark Master-Zorc's effect! Dark Catastrophe!

He rolls the die, and it ends at 5. This made the flames surround Crimson Knight Vampire Bram.

Rosario: And now to destroy your weakest card! Zorc Inferno!

That's when it breathed another stream of black flames, only much more destructive, towards Vampire Sorcerer.

Victor: I place 1 card face-down and end there.

And with that, Crimson Knight Vampire Bram reappeared from the dirt.

Rosario: During the start of the turn after you destroyed him, he resurrects from the Graveyard...I now play Stop Defense to change his position, and then I Summon Vampire Baby...

He then summons what appeared to be a younger version of Vampire Duke.

(Vampire Baby, Lvl 3, ATK 1000, DEF 1000, Dark, Zombie)

Vampire Baby: Father...I'm ready...

Rosario: Vampire Hunter, destroy his creature...

Vampire Hunter ATK: 1600-2100

With that, Vampire Hunter grabbed his whip and wrapped it around Dark Master-Zorc and dragged it to the Graveyard with him.

Victor: What?!

Rosario: 6000-5600

Rosario: Whenever Vampire Hunter battles a Dark Monster, that Monster gets destroyed during the Damage Step...Now for Vampire Baby to attack...

Vampire Baby ATK: 700-1200

The infant vampire bit down on Victor's arm.

Victor: 6500-5300

Rosario: Vampire Grace, attack...

Vampire Grace ATK: 2000-2500

Vampire Grace then bashed Victor upside the head with her staff.

Victor: 5300-2800

Rosario: Vampire Duke, attack...

Vampire Duke ATK: 2000-2500

Vampire Duke then bit Victor's neck.

Victor: 2800-300

Rosario: Crimson Knight Vampire Bram, attack with Blood Blade...

Crimson Knight Vampire Bram ATK: 2500-3000

Before he could bring the blade to Victor-

Victor: I activate Birthright to revive the Spiral Serpent!

He then summons a giant, vicious sea serpent.

(Spiral Serpent, Lvl 8, ATK 2900, DEF 2900, Water, Sea Serpent)

Just as the sea serpent was summoned, it was sliced in half by his blade.

Victor: 300-200

Victor: My turn, and I play Monster Reborn to bring back my Dark Master-Zorc and use his effect! Dark Catastrophe!

Yuto: Oh no! If he does that, he won't have any Monsters when he rolls a low number!

Iris: And if he uses a card to banish his Monsters and Summon creatures with high amounts of power, he's done for! And we'll all lose!

He rolled the die, but it ended on 6, and his blasted the flames around him.

Victor: No! This can't be!

Draco: It is. Your Fiend relies on dice roll results. 1 and 2 destroys all of your opponent's Monsters, 3, 4, and 5 destroys 1 of your opponent's Monsters, and 6 destroys your entire Monster defense.

Snake: Quite a catastrophe indeed. You caused your own. How ironic.

Ace: More like tragic.

Nakahara: More like enigmatic.

Draco: You're all wrong. It's pathetic, just like him.

Rosario: Which means that Crimson Knight Vampire Bram will end this with his Blood Blade...

Crimson Knight Vampire Bram ATK 2500-3000

Crimson Knight Vamire Bram, raising his sword towards Victor: Rest in despair of your own failure forever...you foolish walking haggis.

He then swipes his sword at Victor, knocking him out cold.

Victor: 200-0

Rosario wins.

Ace: Well, that was unnecessarily brutal.

Rosario: Sorry about that...I guess I got a little carried away...

Nakahara: Don't be. We all hated him.

Rosario: Very well...You need to get to the top floor...?...Right this way...

They then reached a large teleportation platform.

Rosario: It may be old, but it can take you to the top floor...I wish I could come with you, but I have repairs to get to...Are you ready...?

Yuto: I'm ready.

Iris: Same here.

Snake: Fine.

Nakahara: Count me in.

Ace: With you all the way.

Lexus: ...I'm going with you...

Draco: I'm in.

Morgan and Megan: If Draco goes, we go.

Rosario: Good luck...All of you...

With that, the teleporter began to work, and transported all 11 occupants, counting the 2 comatose Duelists who just woke up from their long and unintended slumber, to the top of the tower.

Draco: Good, their gaining consciousness.

During said time, it was raining violently and thunder roared like a savage beast. At the top waiting was Avatar, mutated even more to the point of having extra faces on body. 1 on each of his hands and feet, 1 on his chest, 1 on his forehead, and 1 on each of his wings.

Avatar: I see you made it to the top of the game, even taking those miserable pawns with you. Now that you beat Level 5, Rank Master, you reached Level 6, Rank Immortal. And just so you know, the very series of events you all went through wasn't just a set of coincidental obstacles in your way, but distractions I sent to make sure I had enough Ener-D to further my evolution was to occur.

Yuto: Don't try and scare me with all of the evolution phases you went through. As far as I'm concerned, you're going to leave Sosuke's body, and your dark Deck will be destroyed!

To be continued...
