Chapter 54: Guts of Steel

-ooo-

Back at the village, Johnny was looking at his new cards while the gang ate a late supper in the mess hall.

Johnny then replied, "Who'd knew that Utopia had 4 different forms of him?"

Solomon then replied, "He's beat Stardust Dragon. That beast has Majesic Star Dragon, Shooting Star Dragon and Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode."

Susan then replied, "I've seen pics of those dragons and they are beautiful dragons."

Solomon sighed and replied, "Only one of the dragons is not. There's this form called Sin Stardust Dragon is a evil form of the original and those monsters have been gone for a very long time now."

Johnny then replied, "I'd love to see a duel with those monsters."

Solomon sighed and replied,"I"m afraid there's only 1 copy of each of the Stardust forms and each copy is owned by Yusei Fudo."

Susan nodded and replied, "I heard he just beat Jack Atlas in that one last duel before they become true friends."

Solomon then replied, "Friendship is one of those things that'll help a gloomy day become brighter."

Susan then replied, "Got that from a fortune cookie, Solomon?"

He smiled and replied, "One of those callenders that hss something postive on it on the 365 days."

Dukey then replied, "Lets just finish up and relax until we fall asleep."

-ooo-

That night in his room, Jack was going over the many blackened out pictures of his former mansion crew members.

He sighed and replied, "I trusted these idiots and they lose their damn duels! I should of never brought in."

Suddenly, all of the darkened pictures shattered into pixels and the remaining ones where Witty Phantom, Dragoness, Bumper and himself and he repplied," So close to dueling me. So close."

Suddenly, Witty Phantom appeared and he replied, "Need anything, boss?"

Jack stared at him and replied, "Nothing at the moment, Phantom. How is Claptrap doing?"

Witty Phantom then replied,"I Can't believe I'm saying this, but I love that machine now. He's made my life so much better in the last few days. Glad you brought him to our world after all.'

Jack smiled and replied," I knew you would love that little bot sooner or later. Less stress the better, eh?"

"You better believe it, sir."

Jack then replied, "Want to go to the kitchen are and have a snack with me?"

The fiend nodded and replied, "Of course, sir."

Jack then replied, "Make sure Claptrap has the empty rooms cleaned up. Never know when you're going to need them."

The fiend smirked and replied, "So true, sir. So True."

-ooo-

Later that night in his cottage, Dragoness was speaking to Jack (Who got into the village with a portal) about the attack that was about to happen.

Jack then replied, "A alot of week monsters will attack this damn village andf you're be in charge of making sure the attacks go good, Dragoness. I have my full trust in that I'll know you'll make me proud."

Dragoness smiled and replied, "I'll make you proud, sir."

Jack then replied, "Make sure you do, Dragoness."

Suddenly, another portal opened and he walked throught and when it shot, Dragoness raised his sword into the air and replied, "To the takeover of this pathetic village!"

-ooo-

That next morning, the gang was having breakfast in the mess hall.

Johnny then replied, "Great French Toast."

Susan then replied, "Indeed, little bro."

Suddenly, Command Knight rushed in and replied, "The village is being attacked by Jack's army!"

The gang stood up and Johnny then replied, "Lets go then!"

-ooo-

They ran outside saw many weak fusion monsters like Karbonala Warrior, Flame Ghosts, Metal Dragons and many others, attacking anything they saw.

Johnny then replied, "What the hell is this crap?"

Suddenly, the Saw a Axe Raider facing down on a Flame Ghost and he replied, "Good bye!"

The warrior went and made a downward slash of his axe, blowing the fiery ghost into a cloud of ash and he laughed and replied, "Too easy!"

Suddenly, a large red and purple-feathered bird appeared (ATK: 2,300).

Axe Raider gulped, "Not a Crimson Sunbird!"

Suddenly, it began to flap its wings..

Johnny quickly activated his disk and replied, "I activate Negate Attack!"

Suddenly, a barrier was covering the warrior and a wave of flames shot out from the wings and was reflected off the barrier and Axe Raider then replied, "Thanks, kid!"

Johnny nodded and replied, "Anything for a fellow warrior! I now play Shrink!"

Suddenly, the bird became weaker (ATK: 2,300 - 1,150).

"Carve it up!"

The mighty warrior went and sliced down with his axe, blasting the fiery bird into a cloud of feathers and Axe Raider laughed and replied, "All the help is needed!"

Suddenly, Susan turned to the middle of the village and saw their parents trapped in the middle while a bunch of Zombie Warriors (ATK: 1,200 x3) and a bunch of Flower Wolfs (ATK: 1,800 x3) trapped them and Hugh replied, "HELP!"

Suddenly, the kids activated their disks and a Gagagigo (ATK: 1,850), Toy Magician (ATK: 1,600), Warrior Dai Grepher (ATK: 1,700), Mechanicalchaser and a Dunamis Dark Witch appeared (ATK: 1,800).

"ATTACK!", the kids yelled out.

The monsters turned them and Toy Magician fired two bursts of light, blasting 3 of the Zombie Warriors to pieces and Grepher slashed with his sword, slicing the last two of the skeleton warriors in two and then Gagagigo and Mechanicalchaser rushed in and attacked, blowing all of the Flower Wolfs into pixels and then the monsters vanished and Hugh ran to the kids and he replied, "Hey, kids!"

Mary then replied, "When did this attack start?"

Lila then replied, "About 30 minutes ago."

Suddenly, The Saw Freed battling a Barox (ATK: (1,380) and he was winning.

Susan smiled and replied, "This will be good!"

Suddenly, he made a quick slash of his sword and the attack decapitated the Fiend with his sword and the lifeless body and decapitated head fell to the ground and dissolved into a puddle of black ichor and he grunted and replied, "Pathetic."

The gang ran to him and Johnny replied, "How you doing, sir?"

Freed sighed and replied, "Annoying. I wonder what these things want?"

Suddenly, a 2nd Valkyrian Knight ran to the gang and he replied, "Bad news, sir! Some fusion named Dragoness the Wicked Knight stole the jewel pieces and the number monsters as well and is going towards the portal to get them to Jack!"

Freed growled and replied, "Damn that fusion! He's one of Jack's best army members! He's right behind Witty Phantom in ranking!"

Susan then replied, "We can't let that bastard escape, sir!"

Freed then replied, "I have a idea."

Suddenly, a Gatling Dragon appeared infront of them (ATK: 2,600)!

Dukey gulped and replied, "Not good, not good at all!"

Freed took a spell card and he replied, "Ego Boost for myself!"

As his sword began to glow (ATK: 2,300 - 3,300) the warrior made a quick downward slash of his sword, cutting into the large machines and sparks flew from it.

Solomon took a card out of his pocket and replied, "Dark Core!"

Suddenly, a portal opened up and before it exploded, the machine was sucked into the portal and then it vanished and Mary then replied, "That was TOO close!"

Dukey then replied, "We need to go...QUICKLY!"

Freed sighed and replied, "We will never get there on time."

Johnny sighed and replied, "Damn, we did all this hard work for nothing then?"

Susan groaned and replied, "Damn, damn, damn, damn!"

Mary then replied, "We lose then."

Suddenly, a portal opened up and a D.D. Warrior Lady walked out of it and she replied, "Mission was a success, sir."

Freed nodded and replied," Good work, my friend."

Johnny then replied, "I don't got this at all."

Freed smiled and replied, "He's in for one bad trip."

-ooo-

Outside of the portal that led to Jack's island, Dragoness was ready to leave into the portal and he had a bag that had 2 black cases that stored the cards and pieces.

Dragoness laughed and replied, "This was a easy take over! Now to get back to Jack!"

Suddenly, he ran into the portal and it closed up.

-ooo-

A few minutes later, the portal appeared and he walked out of it and he replied, "I'm back on the island!"

As he looked around...he was in shock to see he was in the middle of the village and every warrior and citizen of the village was trapping him in the middle!

Dragoness then replied, "You morons messed with the portal!"

Freed then replied, "A little trick D.D. Warrior Lady and D.D. Warrior taught me The real portal will return tomorrow and you'll be stuck here for one day!"

Dragoness growled and replied, "Let me go!"

Susan then replied, "Not until give back what you stole!"

Dragoness then replied, "I'll keep sending Fusions to overwhelm you morons!"

Freed then replied, "Actually, we finished every last one of them, you fool! It was no trouble for us at all!"

Dragoness then replied, "Dang it!"

Suddenly, he began to glow and the kids duel disks vanished and his sack grew larger and Johnny then replied," What the hell did you do?"

Dragoness smiled and replied, "A Little trick. Your decks and disks belong to me as well! Jack won't mind them at all!"

Freed took his sword out and Dragoness smiled and replied, "I have a small device in my pack and if I say the world, I'll incinerate everything inside and you'll all be screwed!"

"I'll duel you for them!", a voice was heard.

They all turned around and saw a very famillar person in the back area.

Mary then replied, "No way."

Johnny sighed and replied, "It can't be."

"Eugene?", a shocked Susan said.

The warriors stood aside as the (sorta) friend of the gang walked into the middle of are and he replied, "How about dueling me instead? I Haven't dueled once in this world yet and no one knows about my deck as of this moment."

Susan then replied, "I fought you used that B.E.S. deck."

Eugene then replied, "I didn't feel right dueling with it. After the former Shadowlands vanished, I gave the deck away to a charity for teens and stuff and I donated 1 million bucks to them too and then I made a new deck and I'm ready to use it."

Mary then replied, "Wow, that is...sweet of you, Eugene."

Susan then replied, "This might be intresting. I'll watch him duel."

Freed put his sword away and he replied, "Good luck, young man."

Dragoness then replied, "Bling Bling Boy."

"Don't call me that anymore. I'm a better person now and I don't want that silly title anymore.", Eugene said with a sigh.

Dragoness then replied, "Whatever you say, kid."

Susan then replied, "I think he's a changed boy now."

Dukey nodded and replied, "Maybe that time in the Shadowlands changed him for the better. He is acting a little different, but I like this new him now."

Mary nodded and replied," I Agree with Dukey. We'll have to see if this for sure and just a scam to get Susan."

Both activated their duel disks and drew 5 cards apiece.

"Game on!", both yelled out.

-ooo-

Back at his viewing room, Witty Phantom and Jack were watching the duel from a screen.

Jack then replied, "So Freed told his Dimension warriors to change the portals so that he would telelport back to the village?"

"Pretty much, sir."

Jack nodded and replied, "I hate to say this, but very clever of them."

Witty Phantom then replied, "I wonder what kind of deck this kid uses anyway."

Jack then replied, "Don't know, but Dragoness's deck will beat it."

The fiend nodded and replied, "I believe so too, sir."

-ooo-

Back at the village, the duel had begun.

(Dragoness LP: 8000 - Eugene LP: 8000)

Eugene drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and a card facedown and that'll do it for me."

Dragoness drew a card and replied, "I summon my Iron Chain Soldier!"

As he sat the card down, a machine with chains for arms and a legs appeared with a chain-like sword in its hand (ATK: 1,700).

"Attack!"

the soldier went in and a small cute elephant head with ears for wings appeared (DEF: 300) and the small Tuner was blown to pieces when the machine struck with its sword.

"I'll just end my turn now."

Eugene drew a card and replied, "I summon my Sunlight Unicorn!"

As he sat the card down, a unicorn with a beautiful blue mane appeared (ATK: 1,800).

Dukey then replied, "He might be using a beast deck now."

Susan nodded and replied, "Probably so, Dukes."

"I'll check the top card of my deck and its a equip spell card, I can add it to my hand and ifs not, the card goes to my deck's bottom."

He flipped the card and it was a Moja monster and he he sighed as he placed the card underneath his deck and he replied, "No big deal. Attack his Soldier!"

The mighty beast charged in and stabbed the machine with her horn and then the machine exploded into scrap (Dragoness LP: 8000 - 7900).

"I now tune both together!"

Iron Chan Coil suddenly split apart into three white stars, with each one transforming into a green virtual ring. The two rings went through Iron Chain Snake, which transformed into three white stars. As this process occurred, Dragoness clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and began to chant:

"Mighty dragon of chains, blast away with your mighty attacks. With your power chain attacks, you'll crush your foes and be victorious! Synchro Summon! Come Forth..Iron Chain Dragon!"

As he sat the card down, a dragon with rust-colored skin, a chain around its neck and bat-like wings appeared (ATK: 2,500).

Mary then replied, "Wow, cool."

Susan then replied," Neat, I guess."

"Now, I play Mystical Space Typhoon!"

The storm began..

Eugene smiled and replied, "I activate Dark Bribe!"

As the fusion monster drew a card, the storm calmed down and then he replied, "Blast that Unicorn into nothing!"

The dragon opened its mouth and fired a burst of energy and it shot out and blasted Sunlight Unicorn into particles (Eugene LP: 8000 - 7700).

"Now, Discard the top 3 cards!"

Eugene took the top 3 cards and quickly discarded then and Dragoness laughed and replied, "Too easy! I'll set a card facedown and that'll end my turn."

Eugene drew a card and replied, "I'll switch my other Unicorn to defense postion and I'll set a new monster facedown and 1 card facedown and that'll end my turn."

Dragoness drew a card and replied, "Iron Chain Repairman, come forth!"

As he sat the card down, a muscular warrior appeared (ATK: 1,600).

"I'm activating my facedown card, Dragon's Rage! Iron Chain Dragon, attack!"

The dragon fired a burst of energy again and Moonlight Unicorn was atomized as the attack struck her (Eugene LP: 7700 - 6200) and then Eugene took the top 3 cards again and discarded them.

Suddenly, a mighty Unicorn appeared with a loud neigh (ATK: 2,200).

Johnny nodded and replied, "Wow."

"I now play Stray Lambs!"

Suddenly, the two lamb tokens appeared (DEF: 0).

"I now activate my Thunder Unicorns ability! One of your monsters loses 500 ATK for each monster I have!"

Suddenly, the mighty dragon let out a mighty roar (ATK: 2,500 - 500).

"Now, destroy his Iron Chain Dragon!"

Suddenly, its horn began to glow and then it launched a wave of electricity thay covered the dragons whole body and then it let out one more roar before it exploded into particles (Dragoness LP: 6850 - 5150).

Eugene smiled and replied, "Take that! I end my turn now."

Dragoness drew a card and replied, "I'll set monster and switch my Repairman to defense postion and then I'll place 1 card facedown and that'll end my turn."

Eugene drew a card and replied, "I tribute my 2 Lamb Tokens for my Behemoth, King of all Beasts!"

As he sat the card down, a mighty dragon made of different machiens and broken metal appeared (ATK: 2,800).

Susan then replied," Damn, man."

Mary then replied, "That is a very powerful Synchro monster."

"I now destroy my Dragon's Rage card to destroy your Behemoth!"

As the trap card shattered to bits, the dragon launched a wave of green flames that struck the huge beast and lt roared in pain before it exploded into pixels.

"Now, attack his Unicorn!"

The dragon unleashed some more green flames and it shot out and the mighty steed neighed in pain before it exploded into triangles as the flames struck (Eugene LP: 5900 - 5300).

Dragoness laughed and replied, "You are running out of monsters, you foolish boy! I end my turn now."

Eugene drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and 1 card facedown and that'll end my turn."

Dragoness drew a card and replied, "I'll set a card."

As the set Guts of Steel card shattered and then one of Eugene's facedown cards lifted and shattered to bits.

"Dragon, attack!"

The mighty dragon unleashed some more flame and the final Hyena was incinerated.

Eugene drew a card and replied, "I activate Twilight Savings Time! I now banish 1 Sunlight Unicorn and 1 Moonlight Unicorn from my graveyard to summon another powerful beast!"

As he banished the two monsters, another unicorn with glossy black fur and a grey horn appeared (ATK: 2,500).

"Meet the mighty Twilight Unicorn!"

Susan nodded and replied, "Again, wow."

Dukey then replied, "This Unicorn deck is really impressive."

Mary then replied, "He's done all he can to make this a very well-made deck."

Dragoness laughed and replied," Next turn your monster will be roasted!"

Eugene smiled and replied, "Actually, that won't be happening!"

Dukey then replied, "What does he mean?"

Susan smiled and replied, "It has to do with that facedown card Dragoness during his last turn."

"My friend is right there. It was a trap called Unicorn Energy Burst and when its my graveyard and I control a Unicorn monster, I can banish the trap to give one of my Unicorns 1000 more attack points!"

As he banished the trap card, the mighty steed began to glow (ATK: 2,500 - 3,500).

"Next, I reveal my Dust Tornado!"

As his trap flipped up, a storm began and Dragoness's facedown Widespread Ruin card lifted and shattered to little bits.

He took a monster and added it to his hand and then Scrap Beast appeared (ATK: 1,600).

"Lets do it. Blast that Unicorn with your Blazing Bolts!"

Suddenly, another barrage of fiery bolts shot out of the chest and struck the beast and it let out moan of pain before it exploded into white and black globules (Eugene LP: 4450 - 3250).

"Scrap Beast, attack!"

The beast went in and a Morphing Jar appeared on the card (DEF: 600) and the beast smashed it to pieces with its body and both discarded their current hands and drew 5 cards apiece.

"I activate my Twin-Horned Unicorns ability now. Since It Synchro summoned a Level 8 Beast or Beast-Warrior monster, I can banish 1 of your cards!"

Dragoness looked with shock as his Scrap Archfiend faded into nothing.

"Lets do it. Attack!"

The beast began to glow and then it launched a wave of electricity that shot out and blasted Scrap Beast into pieces (Dragoness LP: 4450 - 3250).

Eugene smiled and replied, "Take that! I'll set a card and that'll end my turn."

Dragoness drew a card.

Eugene quickly replied, "I activate Crevice Into the Different Dimension! I select 1 attribute and I get to banish a card and I choose Earth to banish your Scrap Beast and Scrap Chimera!"

He took the two cards and slid them into his banished monster slot and he replied, "Not going to be any easier! I'll set a monster."

As the facedown monster appeared, Eugene quickly replied, "I now activate the trap card The Transmigration Prophecy! I'm sending back your Scrap Dragon and Iron Chain Dragon back to your deck!"

He growled as he placed the two monsters back into his Extra Deck and he replied, "You still...WILL NOT win this duel! I'll end my turn now."

Johnny replied, "Two useful traps in a row? Cool!"

Dukey smiled and replied, "That was really clever. He got rid the monsters that would trouble him later!"

Suddenly, both monsters turned into black orbs and a portal opened up, which the orbs flew into.

."With these monsters, I construct the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon! Appear now..Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max!"

As he sat the card down, a rail car with a huge cannon on it appeared and it aimed to Eugene's side of the field (ATK: 3,000).

Johnny then replied, "Holy..crap!"

Susan then replied, "One of the rarest machines in the game!"

"Now, atomize his Synchro!"

The huge cannon aimed and fired a burst of dark fliery energy, blasting Tricorn into particles.

"I activate its ability, I discard one Xyz Material to give you 2000 more damage!"

As he discarded the card, the cannon fired another huge burst of energy that struck him (Eugene LP: 3250 - 1050) and then a Thunder Unicorn appeared (ATK: 2,200) and Eugene replied, "When Tricorn is destroyed in battle, I can special summon Thunder Unicorn or her other sister!"

"I'm afraid it is! Now, attack!"

The Unicorn charged in and struck the machine's rail car in the center with its horn and sparks flew from the machine and then the huge machine exploded into a pile of burning slag (Dragoness LP: 1050 - 0).

Susan then replied, "Yea!"

Dragoness began to glow and replied, "I was so damn close!"

Suddenly, he shattered into pixilated fragments and then his duel disk fell to the ground and it shattered too, leaving only his deck and a jewel piece.

Susan smiled and replied, "Mind if I check those cards, Eugene?"

Eugene turned to her and replied, "By my guest."

She nodded as she gathered the cards and the jewel and she replied, "Another piece for us."

Johnny then replied, "Can you come with us into the mess hall, Eugene? We want to ask you some questions."

Eugene nodded and replied, "Sure."
