Thetrueazure: Hey guys, weeeeelllllll, there will be no duels this chapter but some explaining.
Kazuma: Other than that, nothing really much to talk about. Disclaimer, why am I even doing this?
"You are really starting to get on my nerves!" Shinken yelled angrily "I end my turn! Don't think you have a chance of winning! Beowulf wings can negate two attack per turn! Your done!" Shinken yelled as the flames died down (6000-1000) (4100-3100)
"During the end phase Leonidas returns to the field through his effect!" Kurogasa's new synchro reappeared on the field "I draw!" Kurogasa drew his next card "I activate Haos Coruscant Leonidas's second ability! I can remove from play one LIGHT monster from my graveyard so that Leonidas can gain half the attack of the removed card and an extra attack!" Three cards popped out of Kurogasa's graveyard "I remove Haos Siege, Haos Mantris and Haos Omega Leonidas! Now Coruscant Leonidas gains 3200 attack points and three attacks!" Three faint images appeared in front of Leonidas as he absorbed there powers (3500-6700).
"6700 attack points!" Shinken said in shock "I-Impossible!"
"Like you said; 'It's very possible, and your going to pay the price!'" Kurogasa said "Haos Coruscant Leonidas! Attack with Omega Barrage!" Haos Coruscant Leonidas created two more clones of himself "Here comes the first battle!" The first clone attacked Kage.
"I activate Beowulf Wings ability! Sending another Fryll to the grave in order to negate that attack!" Shinken said with a hint of fear in his voice
"Let's try the second battle!" The second clone charged towards Kage
"I send another Zehaal in order to negate the second attack!" Zehaal blocked the second attack.
"Now the final battle, and this time attack Tremor Gauntlet!" The final clone prepared to attack the gauntlet
Shinken then thought of something "Are you sure you want to do that? With that much power you could kill him."
Kurogasa froze when Shinken told him that
"Hehe, so that's your weakness, your afraid to hurt your friends." Shinken said "It reminds me of this pathetic Kenshin."
"You know nothing about him!" Keira yelled
"Neither do you!" Shinken retorted "I erased the memory of his parents death so that I could protect him. And I'll be damned if I let him choose the side of dragons!"
Kurogasa hesitated, he couldn't risk killing a friend.
"Do it!" Kurogasa looked and saw Krad holding Shinken at bay.
"Krad!" Kurogasa said
"Why you! Let go!" Shinken yelled as he tried to break free
"Do it now Kurogasa!" Krad said
Kurogasa was reluctant but nodded "Leonidas, end this! Omega Revolution!" A series of magnifying glasses appeared in front of Leonidas as he fired an Omega Eraser through the glasses, as it passed through them it grew bigger and gained more power, hitting Shinken dead on, destroy both Tremor Gauntlet, Beowulf Wings and the barrier surrounding them.
Kurogasa: 200: Winner
Shinken: 0
Krad's body laid on the floor with his hair returning back to normal. Shinken's spirit appeared in front of everyone.
"I must say, that was an excellent duel." Shinken said "I will give the Kenshin's body back for now. But I will be back." Shinken began to disappeared "Oh and before I go, give the young Kenshin this message. If he ever wants to control my power he better not die until I return!" And with that Shinken vanished.
Kurogasa fell over only to be caught by Kuraki
"Hey Kuraki, you OK?" Kurogasa asked as he saw tears flowing down Kuraki's cheek
"Idiot! Why did you have to do that! You could have died!" Kuraki scolded him, but then kissed him "But I'm glad you didn't." Their little reunion was cut short when the building started to shake violently
"Wha-What's going on!" Miharu asked
"It seems that the duel between those two was too much for the building to handle and it's starting to collapse!" Shin said as he and Kazuma summoned Hyperion and Cyber End Dragon "Get on now!"
Everyone got on to the duel monster and flew out of the window before the building collapsed.
Ch.44 Reawakening
At the same time the building collapsed, Satellizer, Shin, Hogo, and Hero were watching at a distance. Satellizer started to snicker.
"Whats so funny?" Hero asked
"Looks like things are about to get a lot more interesting. Don't you think?" Satellizer turned to Shin "What's with that sour look on your face? You know you should try and smile more often."
"Shut up." Shin growled at her and walked away.
"Geez, touchy." Satellizer said
"Leave him be." Hero said "We just have to wait until Apollyon is at full power. And when that happens-" Hero started to chuckle as his eyes turned golden "Then Zero Reverse will be nothing compared to it."
"Armageddon? Sounds fun." Satellizer said with a laugh
An unknown place
Ritsu was sitting down in a white void with an irritated look on his face while Raikou and Hope Dragon sat right next to him.
"You know, this is starting to get really old." Ritsu said as he crossed his arms
Raikou looked at Ritsu "Why? You've only been here two times."
"Shut up! It's the fact that I show up here is getting old!" Ritsu said as Hope Dragon walked over towards him and started to poke him "Huh? What is it?" Hope Dragon pulled both of his eyelids down and stuck his tongue out. Ritsu tried his best not to laugh.
"Looks like he's trying to cheer you up." Raikou said with a chuckle
Ritsu stood up and petted Hope Dragon "Yeah. He may not be able to talk, but he sure knows how to cheer me up." Ritsu looked at his hand as it started to vanish "Looks like I'm waking up now."
Ritsu slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was in an unfamiliar place. He shot up from the bed he was lying in and learned that it was a bad idea when a fist connected to his nose, sending him back down in pain.
"Damn it that hurt!" Ritsu yelled through his hands
"Oh my! I-I'm sorry! You startled me." An woman's voice said beside him. "Are you OK?"
Ritsu got a good look at the woman. She had black shoulder length hair that was tied into a ponytail and sky blue eyes, she wore a grey T-shirt and blue jeans. She also wore the same phoenix necklace he wore.
"I can manage." Ritsu said as his nose started to bleed.
The woman gasped and got a tissue "Your bleeding, that's not being OK." She started to wipe the blood from his face. Ritsu could quite figure it out, but this woman was acting...motherly "There."
"Uh, thanks." Ritsu said "Who are you?"
"There's no need to thank me." The woman laughed "Though I do hope you don't have any of my quirks."
"Don't have any of your quirks?" Ritsu said "What do you mean."
"Shin was right, you really have grown." The woman said with a gentle smile "My name is Yuki. Ritsu, I'm your...Mom."
"My mom?" Ritsu said as Yuki brought him in with a tight embrace.
"You look just like your father. Well, you do have my eyes." Yuki whispered in his ear as Ritsu returned the embrace.
"Where are we?" Ritsu asked
"We're in the Order." Yuki said as the door opened. They saw Kazuma standing in the doorway
"Oh good your awake. Master told me that once your awake that your are to meet him in the briefing room." Kazuma said "I have already informed your friends." Kazuma saw Yuki sitting there and bowed "My apologize Ma'am, I didn't know you were here."
Yuki started to laugh "Kazuma, how many times do I have to tell you. Call me Yuki, I won't get mad." Yuki helped up Ritsu "We'll be there in a minute."
"OK, Ma-" Yuki narrowed her eyes as Kazuma sighed "Yes, Yuki."
In the Briefing Room
Shin was sitting at his desk as Iris, Lester, Miharu, Melody, Shinji were sitting on the side. The chosen ones, minus Ritsu and Krad were standing in front of Shin.
"You all are wondering why I asked you to come here?" Shin said
"Where's Ritsu?" Yuzuki asked as the door opened showing Ritsu, Kazuma and Yuki walking in. "Ritsu!" Yuzuki ran over and hugged him
Ritsu recoiled in pain "Owowow, I'm still injured here!"
Miharu stifled a laugh, but became silent when she saw Yuki looking at her. Ritsu walked up to his friends with Yuki by his side.
"Who's she?" Satoshi whispered to Akira, who shrugged.
"Whoever she is, she very beautiful." Nami said
"Ahem!" They looked at Ritsu "Guys, this is Yuki Himuro."
"Himuro? Wait, then she's-" Kurogasa said as Ritsu nodded
"Yeah, she's my mother." Ritsu replied as Yuki bowed towards them
"It's a pleasure to meet you all." Yuki said as she walked to Shin's side
"The Shadow User is still recovering from his injuries, so we'll start without him." Shin stated "You all have seen Apollyon's power at the Dragon's Cup right?" Everyone nodded
"What you guys may not have known was Apollyon's power is sealed." Yuki revealed
"What do you mean 'sealed'?" Terra asked
"Raikou can explain it better then us." Yuki said as Raikou and the other dragons appeared in front of them.
"This all started in the Spirit world." Raikou said
Spirit World, some time ago.
Most of the Spirit World was set a blaze as Apollyon clashed with the six dragons. Raikou and Apollo fired a volley of fireballs at him who blocked them with a wall of darkness
"Don't you get it? You can never defeat me!" Apollyon said as he charged his attack "Chaos Darkness!" Apollyon fired a mass of dark energy at Raikou and Apollo
"Watch out!" Golem flew in front of them and created a barrier in front of them "Stone Barrier!" The dark energy clashed with the barrier, causing it to crack.
"Golem! Are you OK?" Apollo said
"I'm getting to old for this." Golem said
"Don't worry Golem." Leviathan said "Healing Rain!" Leviathan sent healing waters towards Golem, fixing him right up
Belial and KazeRyu flew towards Apollyon "Razor Storm Destruction!" KazeRyu sent out a wind slash towards him
"Shadow Flame Strike!" Belial fired a dark fireball at Apollyon.
Apollyon laughed hysterically "Useless!" Apollyon smacked the attacks away as if they were a bothersome fly.
"Raikou this getting us nowhere!" Belial said "We have to hit him with our strongest attacks!"
Raikou shook his head "No, that much power could destroy the Spirit World, we can't risk that!"
"Well then." Apollyon said "I think it's time I finished this!" Apollyon started to gather an large mass of negative energy and formed it into a sphere. He then started to compact it even smaller
Raikou stared in shock "He would resort to that move. Everyone! Surround him!" The six dragons stood in six different locations surrounding him.
"It doesn't matter what you do! Your through!" Apollyon yelled at them "Prepare yourself for my Chaos Nova!"
"Now!" Raikou said as all six of them created a small sphere of their respective element "By the power of the six elements, we seal your power and banish you! Six Element Seal!" All six elemental spheres entered Apollyon, completely robbing him of his powers.
"Don't...think you've won!" Apollyon said "Once the seal is weakened I shall exact my revenge!"
"Wow." Ritsu muttered "He nearly succeeded in destroying the Spirit World?"
Raikou nodded "Yes, even though the seal was weakened, he is only able to use about half of his strength."
"Which brings me to my next point." Shin said "The Six Element Seal is connected to you guys. If you lose in a shadow duel against one of Apollyon's minions, then your element seal will shatter."
"That sounds bad." Terra said
"It get's worse." Yuki looked at Ritsu "I-If the light user were to lose in a shadow duel, the seal will completely shatter." Everyone gasped at this.
"What do you mean 'completely shatter'?" Akira said
"Without light then the other elements will cease to exist." Shin explained "Light plays a very important role in life. If it's taken out, then it's over."
"No way." Ritsu couldn't believe it, if he were to lose in a shadow duel against one of Apollyon's minions. Then the seal will shatter and the world will end. "How long do we have until the final battle?"
"Two months." Shin said "During that time you must get stronger in order to defeat Apollyon. You may go now." Everyone was leaving "Ritsu, Kurogasa, Kazuma, Miharu." They stopped "Stay here." They nodded as they stayed behind
"What do you need master?" Kazuma said
"Yuki wanted to talk to you guys. I on the other hand have matters to attend to." Shin said as he left the room.
"Kurogasa." Yuki said
"Yes." Kurogasa said
"You are a Signer, correct?" Yuki asked him as he nodded. She handed him a piece of paper "That is the location of the other Signers, you can meet them any time you want."
"Thank you, um, is it alright if I call you Yuki?" Kurogasa asked
Yuki chuckled "By all means." Kurogasa walked out of the room, leaving them alone "Now that we're here. Kazuma, Miharu, don't you have something to say?"
"But Mistress." Miharu said "Do we have to say it right now?"
"Say what?" Ritsu asked in confusion
"Ritsu, say hello to your adopted brother and sister." Yuki said as Ritsu looked at them in shock.
"You mean that, they're family?" Yuki nodded. Ritsu placed his hand on his forehead "I think I have a headache."
"You should rest." Yuki said as she kissed Ritsu on the forehead "You look exhausted." Ritsu walked out of the room and saw Yuzuki standing there.
"Yuzuki." Ritsu said
"Can I walk with you?" Yuzuki asked as Ritsu nodded as they started walking "I think it's nice."
"What do you mean?" Ritsu asked
"I think it's nice that you have your family back." Yuzuki said "You look a lot like your parents."
"Well, mom says I have her eyes." Ritsu touched his nose "Though I think I also have her strength because I think she broke my nose."
Yuzuki giggled and kissed him on the cheek "Be careful when your dueling from now on OK. I'm going to go check on Keira." Yuzuki walked off.
"If what dad said was true about the seal then I better keep my guard up." Ritsu thought.
Ch.44 End
