bopdog111: Alright guys. Now is part two of the Meklord Invasion on Leo, Luna, and Alex's part.

Ulrich362: That's right, can they overcome Jarrod's Meklords? As it stands they're in a good spot but the most dangerous Meklords are yet to be unleashed.

bopdog111: As we said before the new Meklords you seen are Count Morningstar's Creations so give him credit.

Ulrich362: With that said, time for the battle to continue.

Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs, and the Meklord Cards are owned by Count Morningstar!

Ulrich362: Enjoy the chapter.

Now it's Jarrod's turn where he irked Leo earlier.

"I told you, you're not touching them!" Leo snapped.

Jarrod 5th Turn:

"Looks like I hit a 'berserk button' wouldn't you say?" Jarrod smirked drawing before saying, "I start by playing Meklord Recycle!"


Meklord Recycle

Normal Spell Card

Send 3 cards with "Meklord" in the text from your deck to the graveyard: Draw 1 card. You cannot conduct your battle phase the turn you activate this card.


"I don't like the sound of that." Luna mentioned nervously.

"By sending three cards with 'Meklord' in the text I am allowed to draw 1 card however I am not allowed to go to my battle phase this turn." Jarrod explained showing three cards.

Grand Core.

Wise Core.

And Sky Core.

"Those three!" Leo cried in shock.

"No, not that one." Luna said fearfully.

Jarrod discarded them, and drew a card.

"Now I summon Meklord Army of Granel!" A smaller version of Granel appeared.

Leo and Luna both stared at the monster nervously.

'This creep probably does have those two, and without Red Nova Dragon backing us up... no we have Kadaj.' Leo thought.

"Guys? What's wrong?" Alex asked them.

"We fought the Meklords before, remember when I told you about Meklord Astro Mekanikle, and Meklord Astro Dragon Asterisk?" Leo asked her. "There's no doubt, he has both of them in his deck, and Asterisk is the monster that killed me."

Alex looked stunned.

"Whenever Granel is Normal Summoned one of your monsters attack points are cut in half!" Jarrod cried before pointing at Power Tool. "Gravity Pressure!"

Granel fired orbs of gravity that pressured Power Tool. (ATK: 2300/2 = 1150)

"Now using Meklord Empire's effect I add Meklord Emperor Granel to my hand!" Jarrod cried showing the monster.

"Not this time, I play Drastic Drop Off!" Leo called revealing one of his set cards.


Drastic Drop Off

Counter Trap Card

When your opponent adds a card(s) from their Deck to their hand, including drawing: They must discard 1 of those cards.


"When you add a card from your deck to your hand this trap forces you to discard it!"

Jarrod discarded the card. "Not bad but I'll play my face-down, Meklord Evolution!"


Meklord Evolution

Normal Trap Card

Target 1 "Meklord Emperor" monster in your graveyard, and 1 "Meklord Army" monster on your field with the same names: Destroy the second target, and discard 1 card, Special Summon the first target ignoring summoning conditions however it cannot equip a Synchro Monster this turn.

"By destroying Granel, and discarding Meklord Army of Wisel in my hand I can replace it with the Meklord Emperor known as Granel!" Jarrod cried summoning the monster from his graveyard as it raise high.

This card gains ATK equal to the combined ATK of the monsters equipped to it by this effect. You can target 1 of these equipped monsters; Special Summon that target to your side of the field in Defense Position.


"Due to Meklord Recycle I must skip my battle phase so your lucky for now. He gains attack points equal to half my Life Points!"

Meklord Emperor Granel: (ATK: 0 + (3850/2) = 1925)

'At least Leo's safe.' Alex thought.

"And another thing your lucky at. Granel can't absorb a Synchro Monster this turn per effect of Meklord Evolution." Jarrod added. "A price to pay for a card that summons a Meklord ignoring conditions."

"Then is that the end of your turn?" Leo asked.

"Of course it is." Jarrod answered.

Luna 2nd Turn:

Luna drew her card before her eyes widened. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised beating you is this easy Jarrod."

"What are you talking about?" Jarrod questioned.

"I'm talking about this, I summon Kuribon in attack mode!" Luna answered summoning the monster as it made an angry face.

"Or are you scared of her?"

"A small furball with a ribbon?" Jarrod questioned.

"I end my turn." Luna said confidently. "Kuribon is going to help us take you down."


Leo: 4000

Luna: 2200

Alex: 2800

Jarrod: 3850


Jarrod 6th Turn:

Jarrod drew before saying, "First I activate the spell card, Matrix of Meklord!"


Matrix of Meklord

Normal Spell Card

Destroy 1 "Meklord" monster you control: Draw 2 Cards.


"With this card by destroying a Meklord on the field I can draw 2 cards!" Granel end up in a huge boom as Jarrod drew twice looking at the cards.

"I have a bad feeling." Leo admitted nervously.

The smoke fade revealing Granel has its left arm had turned into a larger spherical cannon with teeth along the barrel, the right arm had gained a large turtle shell shaped shield, and its head had changed significantly. Its eye had turned into a single slot with a red light moving from left to right, it gained a ridged gray face-plate, and it had gained blades on the sides of its head resembling fins.


Meklord Emperor Granel MK-II

Earth Type

Level 2

Machine

ATK: 1000

DEF: 1000

Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned by its own effect, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. When a face-up "Meklord Emperor Granel" you control is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand or deck). Once per turn, you can negate the attack of 1 Synchro Monster your opponent controls. This card gains ATK and DEF equal to half your life points. Once per turn: You can target 1 Synchro Monster your opponent controls; equip it to this card. This card gains ATK equal to those equipped monsters' combined ATK. During your Main Phase, you can select 1 of those equipped monsters, and Special Summon it to your side of the field. Once per turn, you can tribute 1 Synchro Monster you control to increase your life points by an amount equal to that monster's ATK.


"Granel MK-II?" Leo guessed.

"You are correct! Just like the regular Granel it gains attack points equal to half my Life Points!" Jarrod answered.

"What's the catch?" Luna asked.

"I can absorb a Synchro monster, and negate the attack of one from now on!" Jarrod called. "And speaking of I'll be taking Amertrix for real!"

Granel MK-II's wires shot forward to catch Amertrix.

"No, Amertrix!" Alex cried in horror.

Meklord Emperor Granel MK-II: (ATK: 1000 + (3850/2) + 2500 = 5425)

"Now with it's effect I summon the monster it absorbed!" Jarrod cried as Amertrix appeared on his field. "And another of Granel MK-II's abillties allows me to tribute the monster it summoned, and I gain it's attack points as my own Life Points!"

Amertrix shattered.

Meklord Emperor Granel MK-II: (ATK: 5425 - 2500 + (2500/2) = 4175)

(Jarrod: 6350)

"And now Granel MK-II attack that furball!" Jarrod cried.

"I play Kuribon's effect, by returning her to my hand your attack is negated but you gain life points equal to Granel's attack points!" Luna cried as Kuribon vanished.

"Your willing to risk me gaining that much points?" Jarrod questioned.

"No, because I have the trap card Oberon's Prank and thanks to this instead of gaining life points we both take damage equal to the amount you would have gained." Luna revealed.


Oberon's Prank

Normal Trap Card

Activate only when an effect that increases Life Points is activated. Negate that effect, and both players take damage equal to the amount of Life Points that they would have gained.


"Though I also have Fairy Shield to defend my life points from effect damage this turn!"

Jarrod widen his eyes before looking around, and grabbed an Action Spell, "Action Spell Acceleration!"

"No Action!" Alex countered. "Haven't you been listening, we're a team and we won't let you beat us!"


No Action

Negate the activation and the effect of a Action Spell Card, and if you do, destroy it.


The tornado struck Jarrod hard. (Jarrod: 2175)

"Plus with less life points Granel gets weaker too." Leo grinned. "Just in time for Alex to take her turn."

Granel MK-II: (ATK: 4175 - (4175/2) = 2087.5)

"Take him down Alex." Leo smiled.

"Getting cocky are we boy? Fine! Since the attack target left the field it's a Replay!" Jarrod reminded.

"Are you sure you want to chance it?" Leo asked. "I still have a few facedown cards."

"Only two in that case! And if your that cocky let's see if Granel knock some manners! Attack Power Tool!" Jarrod cried as Granel aimed it's cannon at Leo's Synchro Monster.

"I might take some damage, but by sending Power Pickaxe to the graveyard my dragon is sticking around." Leo revealed as the blast struck but the smoke cleared revealing Power Tool Dragon had survived.

(Leo: 3062.5)

"Fine then. Your more of a challenge then your weaklings of a sister, and girlfriend." Jarrod smirked to throw Leo off.

"Neither of them are weak, the only weak one is you." Leo replied completely unfazed. "They're two of the strongest people I know."

"If your so confident then let's see if you can prove your worth." Jarrod told him setting two cards. "It's your girlfriend's turn now."

Leo turned to Alex and smiled. "You can do it."

Alex 2nd Turn:

Alex nodded drawing her card, and looking over her 4 cards,

'She'll win, I have complete faith in her.' Leo thought with a smile.

Nodding she said, "Alright I start off by summoning Crystron Rosenix!" The phoenix appeared.

(Jarrod: 1975)

Granel MK-II: (ATK: 2087.5 - (200/2) = 1987.5)

"Alright Dark Strike Fighter attack Granel!" Alex cried.

The Synchro fired a blast.

"You wasted your attack!" Jarrod cried as Granel nullified the attack.

"No!" Leo cried in horror.

"Once a turn Granel can negate an attack a Synchro Monster has!" Jarrod cried.

'Then... it's over.' Alex thought in horror. 'He's won.'

"Alex don't worry." Luna told them.

Alex turned to her.

"Luna's right Alex. Don't worry." Leo added with a smile before turning to Jarrod. "You hear that, you don't scare me!"

"Oh?" Jarrod asked interested.

"You're just one of Roget's pawns, Aporia was a better duelist than you can ever dream of being." Leo told him.

"Hump. I am never loyal, and never a pawn of that joke." Jarrod revealed.

"Looks I hit a 'Berserk Button' this time." Leo grinned.

"Not really. I am not angered." Jarrod told him. "Just annoyed. You think of me as that loser's servant."

"You're doing his dirty work for him." Leo pointed out.

"Only for my plan. You see like him I am from the Fusion Dimension. The Professor assigned me to keep an eye on Roget when he didn't call for the invasion. He sees this wasteland of war, and garbage as his own Kingdom." Jarrod revealed. "I have decided to play master, and servant of his until the time is right to expose his betrayal to the Fusion Dimension."

"Except you won't get the chance." Luna told him. "We're going to beat you right here."

"Actually I already did." Jarrod smirked.

"What?" Leo asked in shock.

That was when he recalled that in the facility Jarrod spoke to Yuri from Yuri-Bot before it's self destruction.

"Huh, what does he mean Leo?" Luna asked.

"Now I rather not waste any time." Jarrod said. "Finish your turn girl."

Alex grunted before saying, "I set one card, and end my turn."

'Don't worry Alex, I'll keep you two safe.' Leo thought.


Leo: 3062.5

Luna: 2200

Alex: 2800

Jarrod: 1975


Jarrod 7th Turn:

Jarrod drew, and said "I play the spell card, Pot of Greed."


Pot of Greed

Normal Spell Card

Draw 2 Cards.


He drew his cards.

He sees their Infinite Prison, and Meklord Astro Dragon Asterisk. Smirking he said, "And now Granel take control of Dark Strike Fighter!"

Wires shot out.

"Not this time, trap card open!" Leo cried as a flash of light enveloped the field before revealing Dark Strike Fighter hadn't been absorbed.

"Wh-What the?" Jarrod asked stunned at the bright light. "Wh-What is this?"

"It's the trap card Morphtronic Power Surge, until the end phase all Machine monsters lose their special abilities!" Leo answered.


Morphtronic Power Surge

Normal Trap Card

Negate the effect(s) of all Machine-Type monsters in play until end of turn.


"Leo that means Power Tool loses his!" Alex cried.

"I know." Leo told her. "But it's worth it to keep your monster safe."

"Fine what it matter?" Jarrod asked playing a card down. "Your turn now!"

Leo 3rd Turn:

Leo drew before closing his eyes. "Ok, I use Power Tool Dragon's ability to add a random Equip Spell to my hand, and if I get the one I want Granel is going down!"

"Ridiculous! The only way for your worthless Synchro to stand a chance is for it to attack twice as Granel negates it's attack!" Jarrod reminded.

Leo added the card before grinning. "You're wrong about that one. I play Double Tool C&D and equip it to my Power Tool Dragon, and then... I equip something to your monster."


Double Tool C&D

Equip Spell Card

Equip only to a "Power Tool Dragon" or Level 4 or higher Machine-Type "Morphtronic" monster you control. While equipped: ● During your turn: It gains 1000 ATK. If it attacks, any effects of the attack target that activate or apply on the field are negated during that Battle Phase. ● During your opponent's turn: Your opponent cannot select a monster other than the equipped monster as an attack target. An opponent's monster that battles the equipped monster is destroyed at the end of the Damage Step.


"Equip what?" Jarrod questioned.

"This, the spell card Megamorph and since I have more life points than you it cuts Granel's attack points in half." Leo revealed.


Megamorph

Equip Spell Card

While your LP is lower than your opponent's, the equipped monster's ATK becomes double its original ATK. While your LP is higher, the equipped monster's ATK becomes half its original ATK.


Jarrod shocked looked at Granel.

Granel MK-II: (ATK: 1987.5 - 1000/2 = 1487.5)

"You'll pay for that." Jarrod growled.

"Actually I won't, on my turn Double Tool C&D gives Power Tool Dragon 1000 more attack points and when he battles your monster's effects are negated." Leo grinned.

"What negated?" Jarrod asked shocked. "Then that means... Granel can't negate this attack, and it has 500 attack points now!"

"That's right." Leo said.

Power Tool Dragon: (ATK: 1150 + 1000 = 2150)

"Power Tool Dragon, destroy Meklord Emperor Granel MK-II with Crafty Break!"

Jarrod grunted, "Reverse card open! Rainbow Life!"


Rainbow Life

Normal Trap Card

Discard 1 card. Until the end of this turn, whenever you would take damage you gain that amount of Life Points instead.


"Rainbow Life!" Leo cried in shock.

"It negates the damage but at least Granel is destroyed." Alex mentioned. "That's good."

Jarrod grunted discarding his only card which was Asterisk as Power Tool destroyed Granel as he glowed. (Jarrod: 4075)

"I set one card and my move." Leo finished.


Leo: 3062.5

Luna: 2200

Alex: 2800

Jarrod: 4075


Jarrod 8th Turn:

Jarrod drew looking at it, "I play the spell card, Awakening From Beyond! So now in exchange for one of you drawing 2 cards I can add a Monster card back to my hand."


Awakening from Beyond

Normal Spell Card

Your opponent draws 2 cards. Add 1 Monster Card from your Graveyard to your hand.


"Then who draws?" Luna asked.

"Since you asked that you get the honor." Jarrod answered.

Luna nodded drawing her cards only to smile. 'Regulus, you're here.'

Jarrod added the card but didn't reveal it.

"And now I activate my face-down, Meklord Army Stand-Off!"


Meklord Army Stand-Off

Normal Trap Card

Special Summon up to three "Meklord Army" monsters from your graveyard then inflict 500 damage to your opponent.


"So now I can revive up to 3 Meklord Army monsters from my graveyard, and if I do you three take 500 points of damage!" Jarrod cried. "Come back Meklord Army of Skiel, Granel, and Wisel!"

The three smaller versions of the Meklord Emperors appeared before they fired blasts at them.

Damage Absorber

Normal Trap Card

Take all the damage each player are about to take. Banish this card from your graveyard: You take all damage each player would take this turn.


"Leo!" Alex, and Luna cried.

Skiel, Granel, and Wisel aimed, and fired their blasts at Leo.

(Leo: 1562.5)

"I'm... ok." Leo said weakly.

"Well you won't be for long." Jarrod smirked before declaring, "Skiel, Wisel, and Granel's effect activates! Besides themselves they gain attack points per Meklord on the field! 200 for Skiel, and 100 for Granel, and Wisel!"

Meklord Army of Skiel: (ATK: 1200 + 200 x 2 = 1800)

Meklord Army of Wisel: (ATK: 1800 + (100 * 2) = 2000)

Meklord Army of Granel: (ATK: 1600 + (100 * 2) = 1800)

Leo stared before closing his eyes. 'Sorry you two.' "I can banish Damage Absorber and now I'm the only one who takes any damage this turn, which means you can't hurt Luna or Alex!"

"Leo your..." Alex stopped stunned.

"I know, but I promise I'll keep you both safe no matter what." Leo told her.

"Well your pathetic girls are gonna need it." Jarrod smirked.

"Call them pathetic one more time..." Leo started as his mark started glowing intensely.

"Before though I have one question for you, and your sister boy." Jarrod mentioned suddenly.

"Huh?" Leo asked.

"What is it?" Luna inquired.

"The next Meklord I'm getting ready to summon... Are you prepared to face him again?" Jarrod smirked. "Because he's coming back to kill you two for real."

Leo and Luna's eyes widened in horror before...

(Luna: 2199... 2198... 2197)

"L-Luna!?" Alex asked shocked seeing Luna's Life Points are going down.

"No, not again..." Leo started trembling. "You can't... not that one."

"Seems like your guess is correct!" Jarrod smirked raising the card high. "Mighty Dragon of the Meklords rise the battle! May all Synchro fear you when they call your name! Come forth, Meklord Astro Dragon Asterisk!"

At that a portal before what emerged was a huge golden serpent like machine with an orb in it's head, and a eye on it's underbelly roaring.


Meklord Astro Dragon Asterisk

Dark Type

Level 10

Machine

ATK: 0

DEF: 0

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned(from your hand) by controlling 3 or more "Meklord" monsters.

Each time a Synchro Monster(s) is Special Summoned: Inflict 1000 damage to the Summoning player.


"I-It's huge!" Alex screamed shocked.

Luna screamed in horror seeing it as Leo just froze and didn't move.

"And when summoned I can target all Meklords I control, and send them to the graveyard!" Jarrod cried as Meklord Armies of Skiel, Wisel, and Granel shattered. "And his attack points go up by their original attack points!"

Asterisk: (ATK: 0 + 1800 + 1200 + 1600 = 4600)

Leo just stared at the monster with utter horror in his eyes while Luna clutched her chest and started gasping for breath.

(Luna: 2196...2195...2194...2193...2192)

"Luna! Are you alright!?" Alex asked her.

"Al... Alex..." Leo started fearfully. "That monster... that's the one, it nearly killed us both."

Widening her eyes Alex looked at Asterisk.

"Yes, and he's back to finish what he started!" Jarrod smirked before laughing manically as Asterisk roared to the heavens as Leo, Luna, and Alex stared in horror.


Meanwhile...

Declan, Yugo, and Terri continued running to look for Roget.

"Where... did... that moron go?" Terri asked trying to catch her breath.

Yugo turned before crouching. "Get on."

"Y-Yugo?" Terri asked him gasping for breath.

"I'll carry you, I don't mind really." Yugo told her. "Just hop on."

Terri decided it be best not to argue climbing on.

"Y-Yugo... How-How did you met Alex?" Terri asked him catching her breath.

"Oh... um well..." Yugo started before chuckling nervously. "I kind of sort of... almost ran her over."

"You what!?" Terri yelled.

Yugo winced. "I was racing through the city and didn't notice her. I didn't hurt her though, and I've at least tried to keep her safe. What about you, how did you meet your big sister?"

Terri looked down before saying, "Well... I was alone in the park with my animal friends like always... Until one day 3 years ago Lulu, Shay, and our parents have founded me. When asked if my parents knows I'm there I said I don't have a family."

Yugo nodded sadly. "You're like Rin, me, and Alex, an orphan. One that found a family, I don't know how... but I promise things will end up ok. For all of us."

"Well... Stacy doesn't have a family too." Terri revealed.

Yugo stopped. "Huh?"

"Yeah. She didn't have any parents. They died during an epidemic before she met Yuya." Terri answered nodding. "She didn't let that bother her when she arrived at You Show. But seeing Yuya getting along with Yoko, and Yusho pained her to where Yuya founded out she was crying, and soon she was a Sakaki."

Yugo closed his eyes sadly. "Then that means, the only one of you that doesn't have a family is Lilly."

"I doubt that." Terri said. "She calls Celina 'Mommy'."

"I know, but... the guy who took Rin and Lulu, he's the one she sees as her dad but thanks to this whole war. They can't be a family." Yugo explained. "At least... not yet.

"As much as I hate to interrupt your conversation I think this might be it." Declan told them showing them another door.

"Hopefully." Yugo agreed.

They entered. The room was completely empty.

"He isn't here." Declan told them. "A dead end."

"We better keep looking." Yugo told them.

"Yeah, I think... huh?" Terri asked suddenly. "What's that?"

They looked to see. It was a single duel monsters card up against the back corner of the room.

"Huh?" Yugo asked seeing it.

Declan walked over and picked it up.

"A Fusion monster, Thorn Overserver Vandarlizuma."

"A Fusion Monster?" Terri asked curious. "Why would Roget leave it here?"

"I don't know, but I don't like this place. Let's keep looking somewhere else." Yugo answered.

They nodded as they walked off.


bopdog111: Well things are looking bad on Leo, Luna, and Alex's end.

Ulrich362: You could say that, they're staring at the monster that already killed Leo once and came within seconds of doing the same to Luna. I'm starting to doubt they'll make it through this one.

bopdog111: Jarrod having the most Life Points, Luna's slowly dropping, Leo the lowest out of all the them, and Alex nearly at half way is pretty much crazy. Can they be able to defeat Asterisk once more or will it finish what it started?

Ulrich362: Not to mention even if they do somehow defeat Asterisk which is going to be incredibly difficult on its own they have no idea what's in store for them, Meklord Avatar-Despair King 666. It's going to take a miracle for them to win this one.

bopdog111: We will see what happens. Be sure to review!

Ulrich362: See you in the next chapter.
