Chapter Fifty-One:
Shadow VS Aka, Part Three: Zero
"And now I activate the card that will finish you off! Go, Breaching the Borderline! This field spell now allows all monsters to have the effect to deal damage through defense! It also grants all monsters with 'Samurai' or 'Shogun' in their name five hundred extra attack points (3100)!" So say goodbye to your token...and your Life Points!"
As the token was crushed, Aka grinned. He beat an Inhuman.
Aka: 1000
Shadow: 0
"What the-" said Aka, staring at Shadow, who was still standing along with his monsters.
"My trap card activates when my Life Points hit zero! Go, Shadowed Soul!"
"What the hell...?" exclaimed Aka, as the caves rumbled. "What are you doing?"
"I'm sacrificing the Small Shadow, as well as all other cards in my hand and on my side of the field!"
"But you should be dead!"
Shadow grinned. "When I activate this card, my monster will allow me to live, even with zero Life Points!"
As the ground stopped rumbling, a huge shadow rose from the ground. It had no form, except for it's hands. And they were humongous claws.
"Meet my ultimate card, the card of my soul! This is...Shadow Ultima- King of Darkness (3650/3000)!"
A chill ran down Aka's spine.
"You are afraid, are you not?" asked Shadow, grinning (SLP: 0, Kept alive by effect of Shadow Ultima).
"No." said Aka (ALP: 1000), "I'm not."
"Yeah, right." said Shadow, continuing his grin. "There's no way in hell I'll believe you when you say that."
Aka ignored him, and continued his turn. "I'll set a card face-down, and I'll end my turn."
Shadow drew, then discarded the card.
"For as long as my monster's on the field, I must discard any cards I draw." he explained. "Also, my monster cannot be effected by any monster, spell, or trap card effects. And this includes cards such as the Swords of Revealing Light."
Aka frowned. This monster was seemingly unstoppable.
"And now..." said Shadow, "My monster will crush your Shogun!"
"ARG!" cried Aka as he was knocked back when the Shadow King clawed at the Power Shogun.
Aka: 550
Shadow: Has Shadow Ultima Out.
Aka fell to the ground, his body smoking.
"You can't even get up with the power I've used against you." said Shadow, smiling. "You have no chance of beating me in this duel."

Kuro grinned, watching the game.
"Amazing!" he exclaimed. "A duelist strong enough to force Shadow to bring out his best creature!
"Though soon the duelists left will only be those strong enough to survive against anyone in the caves- alive or dead.
"Kenshin Menzuro...Elena...I cannot wait for the fate that will tie us together to unfold."

"No strength to even stand." remarked Shadow. "I don't even have to take out the rest of his Life Points."
Aka twitched.
"Don't...count...me...out...yet..." he said, slowly standing up.
"You don't ever give up, do you?" remarked Shadow. "How annoying. Ah well, I suppose that means that it's your move...if you can still move."
He gave a short bark of laughter, and Aka drew a card.
Damn it. I'll have to use some sort of combo to defeat his creature. No lone card in my deck can defeat it. But how? There has to be some card...
Aka sighed. "I...set one monster in defense mode, and I end my turn."
Oh shit!
"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! MORON!" yelled Shadow, drawing and discarding his card.
"Damn it to hell..." said Aka. He had forgotten about his field spell card.
"You moron! You've failed as a good duelist! Although there was nothing you could have done, you still should have remembered your own field spell!"
The Shadow Ultima itself grinned. It cracked it's knuckles.
"SHADOW ULTIMA- LORD OF DARKNESS! STRIKE DOWN THIS FOOLISH MORTAL'S PATHETIC DEFENSE MONSTER AND END THIS DUEL!"
"No..." whispered Aka, as his monster was destroyed. It was a female warrior, a smile plastered on her face. It was the monster known as Female Samurai (1500/1850).
"I still haven't decided, girls." said Aka, a smile on his face, even though he was about to die. "I still haven't decided which of you I truly love. Yuki...Kazuha..."
"Penalty Game!" exclaimed Shadow, a shadow of a dagger flying from the darkness and piercing Aka's heart.
The blood flowed out, and Aka's life ended.

Kenshin felt a stab of pain from his heart.
"Ouch." he said, still staring at Amy...Pychon.
"Amy..." he said, "Please..."
"My name is Pychon." said Pychon. "You may call me nothing else."
Sweat beaded on Kenshin's face.
"Then...we should start our duel. Pychon...when I beat you...
"When I beat you, you might die. BUT AMY WILL BE FREE OF YOU!"
Pychon let loose a smile. "But can you beat me?"
"LET'S DUEL!" They yelled together.
