Hello readers, LightLord92 standing by for duty! This was the first phrase I used when I arrived here with my Yu Gi Oh! 5D's fanfic, the end is closing and only 2 chapters remain (with this one), so I won't make the briefings too long, nor emotional. Let's start this, shall we? By the way, I may or may not fulfill my goal of ending this before New Year, I do hope so, but my laptop apparently died/is on comatose state, wish me luck there.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters, original plot ideas of the anime, or music from the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's or Yu-Gi-Oh! GX's series or any other I try to use, they belong to Konami and Kazuki Takahashi or their respective owners; I do however own the OC's of the Paladins of Light and some cards I've been creating for the fanfic. All credit goes to their respective owners.
LightLord92: Previously, on Yu Gi Oh! 5D's Paladins of Light Darkness Awakens, Akiza headed to face against Misty, who wasn't merciful, blaming Akiza for her little brother's death.
Yusei: Time was short, but things went the wrong way when a familiar face showed up.
Rafael: Sayer returned from the dead, manipulating Akiza to do his bidding. More over, apparently he was behind Toby's death.
Jaden: Then Aster, while looking for Misty, got challenged by the last Dark General, Steelswarm Hercules. Having an amazing and intense duel as Akiza VS Misty!
Alexis: Jaden, please calm down. Aster won and headed to talk with Misty, but when he arrived it was too late.
Aster: Misty had been controlled by the Earthbound Immortal and to be released from the sorrow, Akiza defeated her in a duel. Ironically, Toby seems to be alive.
Sara: Sayer was also taken care of, but we failed to seal the last unit, as a new geoglyph appeared in New Domino City.
LightLord92: Let's see what happens in Episode 55-The Man with Two Gods, Gambling our Fates.
Arriving at the location of the group, Jack along with Roland and Emily stopped on their tracks, seeing the giant geoglyph in the sky of New Domino City "Yusei, what the hell is that?" asked Jack, shocked to see a new geoglyph.
"It appears to be...a condor geoglyph." Replied Yusei worried "Why did it appear now of all times?"
Rafael approached the Signers, noting Sara knew something and fearing the worst "Sara," he said, cathing her attention "that geoglyph, you don't believe it has anything to do with the ancient scirpts, right?" Sara simply nodded, thinking a moment.
"'When the tides of the war reach an end, in the sky of darkness the mark of the strongest Wicked God shall appear. Confusion and treachery its weapons, it shall lead the world to danger, as the war reaches its end.'" Recited Sara the ancient script she memorized, turning to Yusei and the Signers "Rafael and I feared, knowing of the Signers and hearing a few things from Director Goodwin, that these scripts would turn real."
"Then what?" asked Alan, stepping in smiling confidently "We only have one course of action, go there, beat the Dark Signer there and save the world. It's not like we have a limit this time." He said until an earthquake hit the area where they were waiting "Okay, today's just not my day, I should learn to shut my mouth!" replied Alan, angered it was the second time he said something and it turned out wrong. When the quake ceased, some northern-like lights emanated from Old Momentum.
"Not again from that place." Said Crow a bit angry to see those lights.
"Does it mean, the doors of the underworld are completely open now?" asked Yusei worried.
At Old Momentum, the lights of the old Ener-D Reactor began glowing brightly, until they shut down. Out of the bottom, a strange giant dark slime ooze, coming out of the reactor and expanding, until a pair of two red eyes appeared from it, with what seemed to be a mouth as it roared. It then began mutating, two arms appearing as well as a pair of wings with a long tail that splitted in two slim arms, as if formed of bones below of the slime, while horns protruded from its head.
"That...couldn't be-!" said Yusei, as his friends looked lost at the demon, realizing it was the King of the Underworld.
"That giant mass...is heading straight for New Domino City." Said Luna nervous, as the giant thing began walking, slowly at the direction of the geoglyph.
"Yusei, remember what Roman said, then this thing is..." said Crow serious.
"The King of the Underworld." Said Rafael a bit worried "This makes things harder." He added as Trudge and Mina nodded.
"We're still here, we cant still do something about it!" said Mina, confident they could think of something, until Luna heard something from her spirit partner, Kuribon.
"We can't let that thing get to the condor's light!" she said shocked, as the Underworld King's amr landed nearby of them, getting closer to the sea.
"Then let's do something about it!" shouted Alan until the Signer's marks began glowing, with thunders forming, with the Crimson Dragon descending to them. Alan simply got serious, turning to the Signers, Rafael, Roland, Jaden, Alexis, Akio, and Lily "Guys, you have to leave this place." He said directly, as his friends looked confused "We'll buy you guys time to get rid of the Dark Signer, now go!"
"Alan..." said Sara, as her twin brother smiled.
"We'll handle this ourselves, right guys?" he said, turning to Blair, Tyranno, Emily and Aster, as all of them nodded "Time's short, don't disappoint us now!"
"Time to duel!" shouted Aster, taking three cards from his Deck "Summon! Destiny End Dragoon, Destiny Hero Dreadmaster!" he shouted, as his monsters appeared physically around.
"My move now!" shouted Blair, readying her cards "Summon! Judgement Dragon! Jain, Lightsworn Paladin! Lyla Lightsworn Princess!" she said as her dragon, and two lady knights appeared in the air, flying.
"Soldiers, roll out!" shouted Tyranno eagerly "Summon! Ultimate Tyranno! Super Conductor Tyranno! Black Tyranno!" he said, as his three ace tyrannosaurus monsters appeared, roaring fiercely.
"Let's join them now!" said Emily, chosing only one card "Summon! Liana, the Aerial Guradian!" she said as her gree haired angel winged-beast monster appeared.
"Let's rock and roll!" said Alan, choosing two cards "Summon! Gilford the Legend! Brave Hero, Reigas the Champion!" said Alan, as his mighty warrios hit the field. He turned back, just to see the Signers and his friends leave with the Crimson Dragon "Good luck guys, we count with you." He then turned to the monster, being attacked by the ones they just summoned, catching its attention at least "Time to show this guy who's the boss Paladins, charge now!" he shouted, as their monsters launched a head on assault against it.
On route to New Domino City within the Crimson Dragon, Yusei and company seemed rather calmed, except for Akio, Lily, Alexis and the twins "What would the Crimson Dragon want with us?" asked Yusei curious.
Rafael and Sara were a bit far from the group, while Sara looked worried "What's wrong? You're not like that normally."
"It's just that..." she replied, turning to Rafael "the script I recited, it says that nothing will prevent the Underworld King from destroying the world. Like if fate wanted that."
Rafael seemed to understand her worry, he simply smiled and told her "Supposedly, Reginald shouldn't have returned to the world, according to fate. It can and will be changed, if we fight for that with all we've got!" he said, cheering up his friend, as Sara smiled at him.
The group finally arrived at New Domino City, much to their surprise inside what remained of the Rex Goodwing mansion, because the shrine right below it was pulled upwards "What the blazes going? That shrine was below Goodwin's mansion!"
"The light of the condor" said Akiza, turning to the conod geoglyph "it came from here, why?"
"As Alan said." Added Rafael, everyone turning to him and Sara "The last Dark Signer would be around here."
"I have been waiting for you, Signers." Said a male's voice from above them, within the shrine "It appears you were victorious in the battle against the Dark Signers." Said Rex Goodwin, emerging from the insides of the shrine, hands behind him "But you were unable to seal the doors to the Underworld."
"Director Goodwin!" said Rafael, Mina and Trudge, surprised to see him over there.
"Goodwin, tell us! Did we end up losing? Is this world-" said Yusei, Rex Goodwin intterrupting him.
"It is over, Yusei." He said smiling a bit, then turning cold while staring at the direction of the Underworld King "The King of the Underworld is approaching us every moment it ticks by." He said, as the creature was still under attack by the Paladins that stayed behind, but doing almost nothing, as the King wiped out in a single attack Jain, Black Tyranno and Gilford.
"Why come here?" asked Yusei, Goodwin extending his arms.
"For this shrine is sacred, ceremonial ground, of course." He replied smirking "For the ritual to take place I called forth the Crimson Dragon to bring all of you here." He added, showing his mechanical arm, holding his brother's marked arm, placing it in the ground as the Signers began feeling pain in their marks, Roman's arm had the head mark of the Crimson Dragon.
"That's the final Signer mark-the Dragon Head!" said Yusei, containing a bit the pain.
"Is that your arm, Goodwin?" demanded Jack angrily, whil Rex Simply chuckled a bit.
"Director, what's going on?" asked Mina, starting to get scared.
"Not quite, this arm belongs to my brother, Roman Goodwin." Answered Goodwing, turnign hi back at them, still staring at them. Rafael then felt a strange jolt of energy, coming from Goodwin, while Sara sensed a dark aura surrounding him, at that moment, in Goodwin's back the condor geoglyph began glowing.
"You've got to be kidding me!" shouted Rafael astonished "Director Goodwin is the last Dark Signer?" he added shocked, while Goodwin simply laughed a bit, as his clothes tore apart, as his body began reacting to the Condor birthmark, gaining strength and the marks of a Dark Signer.
"Goodwin, you couldn't have-" said Yusei, interrupted by Rex again, while everyone stared at him in complete shock.
"Yes, I have become a Dark Signer!" replied Rex serious, as he began smirking and took off the lock in his brother's arm container, then ripping off his mechanical arm and taking the arm "With my powers as a Dark Signer, I will make this arm mine!" he shouted, placing his brother's arm where his mechanical one was, as a purple aura appeared joining them, but barely "The Crimson Dragon's powers still resist, it will take some time before they are mine."
"Goodwin!" shouted Yusei, Rex turning to him "What is your real scheme?"
"This war has taken far too long to end, every thousand years, until one of them is thoroughly defeated!" he replied smiling deviously "By harnessing the powers of the King of the Underworld and those of the Crimson Dragon, I shall become a new God to this world!" he said, rising his brother's arm and rising up the shrine even more. The Signers and Paladins had to move from there quickly, staying to the other side of the bridge that lead to Goodwin's mansion, which was now completely destroyed. In fron of Goodwin, a stone table began appearing, havin Dark Signers marks and taking the shape as a duel field "We shall hereby commence the ceremony to receive the King of the Underworld!" he said, as an image of him appeared in the shrine, as a hologram "A Shadow Turbo Duel withtin the Condor geoglyph! This to destroy the Signers, until nothing is left! You will be the perfect sacrifices for the King of the Underworld!"
"Goodwin, why are you doing this?" asked Yusei, confused of him gathering the Signers, sending them to fight the Dark Signers just to become one and seek the defeat of the Signers.
"What will you do then?" replied Goodwin, as the King of the Underworld appeared, attacking once again and pushing back the Paladins to the ocean.
"Brother!" shouted Sara quite concerned, as Jaden and Alexis did for their friends.
"Damn it...I never thought he was THAT powerful." Added Rafael, annoyed that his friends didn't stand a chance after all.
Yusei, worried for the safety of the city and the Paladins fighting over there turned to Goodwin "IF we win this duel, will the King of the Underworld-" he asked, once again interrupted by Goodwin.
"Yes, he will possibly disappear." Replied Rex smirking "But I won't allow that, being the God figure I am now!"
Yusei simply turned serious"Goodwin, I accept this duel! For the bonds we have with our friends will see this duel through!" he turned on his runner, as Jack's got started up too.
"Goodwin, I will amke sure you are defeated completely!" said Jack in his serious fashion, Crow tagging along
"Count me in too!" he asked determined "Even if I'm no Signer," he said a bit concerned, but his voice turning to full determination "but, hell, I will do anything for the kids in Satellite! Even if reckless as the LegendaryDuel Runner soar to fly!" Goodwin simply got surprised of Crow mentioning that man, looking down on them.
"We shall do this, Goodwin!" added Yusei pointing at him "We shall stop the Underworld King from beign reborn the three of us!" their Duel Runners ready, they ismply looked back to his friends, cheering for them.
"Yusei, Jack, Crow! " shouted Leo eagerly as always.
"You can do it!" said Luna calmly and smiling at them.
"It's up to you guys!" said Trudge somewhat anxious.
"Be careful Jack!" said Mina concerened, arms joined as if prayin.
"Yusei, take care." Said Akiza serious.
"Crow you've got to make it back in one piece, you heard me?" said Jill, smiling a t her orange haired friend.
"We know you can do it!" said Akio smiling, while holding Lily.
"The future of the world is in your hands!" added Lily.
"Get your game on! Show him who's the hero here!" added Jaden in his usual pose.
"We count with you guys." Said Alexis waving them luck.
"Yusei, be careful out there! I know you can do it!" added Sara nervous.
"Yusei, Jack, you guys owe me a rematch! I know you can win this duel!" added Rafael smirking , as the condor geoglyph began rotating a bit, allowing the Turbo Duelists to get to the condor geoglyph to start the Turbo Duel of the century.
"An unexpected 3-1 Turbo Duel, each of you shall start off with 4000 LP, I shall start with the triple of the normal amount, 12000." Said Goodwin while placing his Deck in the table's holder, being shuffled as well as the Decks of our heroes in their respective Duel Runners "No player can attack in their first turn. There are no objections, right?" added Goodwin as the geoglyph was in range, the flames spurring around the edges.
"Of course not!" shouted Crow eagerly as he could be.
"This will be" shouted Jack strong willed "our last battle!" added Yusei with full determination as the three began running towards the geoglyph, jumping their runners to get inside and start the duel as the geoglyph returned to its position around the shrine "Duel!" shouted the four duelists, starting the final battle.
"Time to activate the Field Spell, Speed World!" said Goodwin, as the Turbo Duel officially started, while Crow took the lead in our heroes group.
Crow-4000 LP, Jack-4000 LP, Yusei-4000 LP; Rex Goodwin-12000 LP
"The first turn goes to Crow the Bullet Hogan! Draw!" shotued Crow, smirking at his hand "I start summoning the Tuner Blackwing-Silver, the Mistral Shield!" said Crow as his blue feathered friend with a silver helmet-like shield appeared "When a Blackwing is in my Field, I can Special Summon this buddy, Bora teh Spear!" added Crow as a humanoid with feathers and a drill-lance appeared in the field "I set a card face down and end my turn!"
"Now's my turn! Draw!" said Jack, as all duelists earned a Speed Counter "I summon Mad Archfiend to the field!" he added as his strange looking demon monster appeared "I set a card face down, I end my turn."
"My turn, draw!" shouted Yusei as the Speed Counter turned to 2 for everyone "Goodwin, why did you become a Dark Signer?" asked Yusei concerned. Goodwin wasn't hesitant to answer.
"17 years ago, when my brother unleashed Old Momentum, he entrusted me with humanity's last hope, his arm with teh Dragon Head birthmark. Every 5000 years, the war between the Wicked Gods and the Crimson Dragon rages on, 17 years ago my brother became the first stepping stone for the war." He said, recalling the day Old Momentum released nergy from the Earthbound Immortals, claiming Roman as their first vessel "At that time, my brother held two birthmarks-one of a Signer, the other of a Dark Signer." Added Goodwin, as indeed Roman had both marks in both of his arms "Unfortunately, the Dark Signer mark immediately looked for complete control over my brother, until he fell to the powers of the Dark Signer." Yusei and this friends listened with close attention to what Goodwin said "He had an idea, of resigning fate and severing his left arm with the Signer mark, entrusting it to me, his younger brother." He remembered the task left by his older brother, to assemble the Signers and defeat him, as he had chosen the Wicked God "He then unleashed Old Momentum's power. To keep my promise, I searched for the remaining Signers and headed to my brother. By then" he said recalling the time he faced his older brother in Satellite "I had reached a conclusion."
The duel between them abruptly end, with Rex losing the duel against his brother and dropping his hand, from the impending death. While Roman approached his brother, he turned to the ground by chance, noting Rex could have won the duel "You lost on purpose!" said Roman astonished, sahking his brother to knwo the reason "Why would you do that?"
Rex simply laughed a bit "To be like you, brother..." he smirked then, knowing his brother would hear out why "Brother, you won't be able to defeat Yusei Fudo."
"What are you saying Rex?" asked Roman, somehow regaining a bit of his long forgotten humanity.
"Our fates are unchangeable." Added Rex "After this ends, 5000 years will pass again, someone will appear carrying our burden, toyed with, the land will end up being bloodstained by the battle of the Gods." he said, eyes widening "I will break this chain!"
"But how?" asked Roman concerned, as Rex's face was getting lost, as if he was getting mad.
"By doing what you rejected, brother. What you resigned to fate, I shall bear it! I will overcome fate! I will be a God!" answered Rex, losing it "I yearn for it, before death." He said, knowing the Dark Signers are granted their last wish before death "Make your arm mine, bear two Gods the way you did!" said Rex, as he started to see a light, but then the shadow of a bird with red eyes, what seemed to be, a condor "Make me a Dark Signer!"
His explanation almost over, Rexs turned to the three duelists facing him "As I told you moments ago, I will become a God and put an end to the worthless battle between the Wicked Gods and the Crimson Dragon!" he said, gaining some control over his brother's arm "I will destroy this world with the pow1ers granted by the King of the underworld, then I will rebuild it with the powers of the Crimson Dragon!"
"Goodwin!" shouted Yusei, astonished by everyone to hear his plan, Crow taking the word then.
"Why do Martha, the kids of Satellite, and a whole lot of innoccent people be erased from existence?" he added angrily.
"I, Jack Atlas, won't allow your delusions to be uflfilled!" added Jack
"A God's power won't tear down fate!" said Yusei, pointg at Goodwin "What really does is what we all struggle, fight and achive through victory for!"
"Heh, then what do you fight for, if I may know?" asked Goodwin, underestimating Yusei's thought.
"The bonds between us friends!" replied Yusei, thinking of everyone he has met up to now "It is through our bonds and friendship that we will defeat you, no matter what you are!" he said, holding a card in his hand "I summon MaxWarrior in attack mode!" said Yusei as his strong armored warrior appeared "I place a face down and end my turn."
"Then let me show you" said Rex taking his card and the Speed Counter go to 3 "both Gods! With no monsters on my field, and only in yours, I Special Summon Oracle of the Sun!" said Rex, as an inca man with a staff and ceremonial robes appeared in the field "Then I summon the Tuner, Fire Ant Ascator to the field!" added Goodwin, as a red colored ant appared in his field "I'm tuning the level 3 Ascator with my level 5 oracle." Said Goodwin smirking "When the sun rises, it will illuminate all darkness! May you flood in light!" chanted Goodwin, as the ant turned into three energy rings that surrounded the priest with a birght ray coming from it.
At safe distance, a hooded man was watching the duel via special high-tech specs, surprised to see Rex as a Dark Signer, as well as Yusei fighting"So, he was on our side from the beginning, huh?" he said while staring at Rex, turning to Yusei "You better survive Yusei, I have a quarrel to settle with you still."
"Don't take anxious, Reginald." Said a demon's voice, as the Archfiend Prince appeared by his side "We must first find the Wicked Temple, we should be on our way. Now." Said teh demon prince, while Reginald simply laughed a bit "What's so funny?"
"You tell me to be patient and you can't, we'll stay here and see how this duel resolves, then we leave." Added Reginald, smirking "What a fool Goodwin is, there's no pwoer compared to the ones of the REAL Wicked Gods."
"Synchro Summon!" shouted Rex "Show yourself, Sun Dragon Inti!"he added, as a yellow sun stone with a face and four fire dragon heads appeared in the field.
"Is that his ace monster?" asked Yusei curious, while Rex still made a move.
"By removing Fire Ant Ascator from my Graveyard, I Special Summon Weeping Idol to the field!"added Rex, as a stone figure of a little god with two staves appeared in the field "Next by paying 1000 LP, I will Special Summon DarkTuner-Dark Goddess Witaka from my hand!" a strange looking figure with a purple vest appeared int he field "Her effect activates, copying the level of any Synchro monster on the field! Like Sun Dragon Inti, making Witaka a level 8 monster!" he added as the goddess disappeared, elaving behind her 8 stars "I'm Dark Tuning my now level 8 Witaka to the level 2 Weeping Idol!" he aded as the 8 stars pierced the Idol, destroying its 2 stars and turning the others dark "When the moon is full in darkness, teh whispering of the Devil will be heard! Entice them over to death!" the 6 stars began moving in circle, as dark sparks appeared among them "Dark Synchro! Show yourself, moon Dragon Quilla!" a white colored moon stone with a face and four xialong dragon heads appeared in the field "I set 2 cards and end my turn." Added Rex, as Quilla began disappearing in clouds "By its own effect, Moon Dragon Quilla will be destroyed at the End Phase." He said as Crow readied his turn, laughing a bit at Quilla's effect.
Crow-4000 LP, Jack-4000 LP, Yusei-4000 LP; Rex Goodwin-11000 LP
"After all we heard, is that all?" asked Crow, provoking Rex "I don't care of deities or fate, I don't really care. But I will soar high just like the Legendary Duel Runner!" added Crow, as Goodwin smiled, closing his eyes.
"Yes, he did, but sacrificing his left arm." Said Rex to Crow, he didn't quite get it.
"Wait, that runner lost his left arm?" asked Sara a bit surprised, Rafael turning to her "Could it be..." she said, as it hit them both "Goodwin was the Legendary Runner?" they asked, still doubting it.
"My turn! Activate Speed Spell-Tuning 1 2 3! With this, I can increase Mistral's level depending on the number rolled on the die!" he said, rolling a virtual dice in his monitor, as teh result was 2 "Since it was 2, Mistral's level increases by 1, making him level 3. Now I'm tuning level 3 Mistral to my level 4 Bora!" said Crow as Mistral turned into three rings surround ing Bora "Darkened gales, become the wings which will soar to the heavens! Synchro Summon! Blackwing Armor Master!" said Crow as his ace black armored bird humanoid with a red orb in its face appeared "Now, since there's a Blackwing in my field, I can Normal summon Blackwing Elphin the Raven without a tribute!" Crow's black colored winged humanoid appeared "Armor Master, attack Sun Dragon Inti! Black Hurricane!" said Crow, as his Blackwing hit Inti but did nothing,safe leaving a wedge counter.
Inti immediately answered catching the bird by the wings with two dragon heads, harnessing fire and releasing it at Armor Master but with no result "What?" asked Rex confused.
"Armor Master can't be destroyed in battle and I receive no damage from his battles!" said Crow happy of Rex's expression while Armor Master flew again towards Inti "Plus, it leaves a Wedge Counter that I can remove to reduce that monster's Atk and Def to 0!" added Crow as Inti began cracking up "Elphin the Raven, destroy Sun Dragon Inti!" ordered Crow as his Blackwing rushed to slash the sun rock, as it began carcking up again, while Goodwin lost 2200 LP leaving him at 8800 and taking 2 of his Speed Counters, but he was laughing of the move.
Rex simply smiled "Opposing the sun, a God, is an unforgivable offense. Even the Legendary Runner you almost worship, suffered from defying him losing his left arm."
Crow still looked confused, until Yusei realized it "You can't be...the Legendary Runner?" he said as Crow got astonished like Jack did, Inti cracking up but releasing fire flames.
"The monster that destroys Inti will be destroyed, causing damage to the owner equal to the destroyed monster's attack!" replied Goodwin, as a thunder strike hit him once Elphin was destroyed, reducing his LP to 1800 and SC to 2 "Then, when Inti is destroyed, Moon Dragon Quilla in my Graveyard will be Special Summoned!" he added, as Quilla returned from the clouds it disappeared "The Legendary Runner learned a lesson that day, you can't defy fate." He stared at Yuse iand company, as Crow continued his way "But that's the way of ordinary pathetic people. To oppose fate, one must surpass humanity and become a God! Only then, true miracles happen!"
"I don't believe that even for a second! I won't allow you to crush the legend we hold dear!" replied Crow, still denying what Goodwin inadvertedly told them. Goodwin simply laughed, lifting his brother's arm as his birthmark began glowing. In response, the otehr Signers' marks glowed too, until they disappeared, they later appeared, united, in Rex's chest as he laughed.
"No way, the marks are with Goodwin now!" said Yusei surprised while Rex still laughed madly.
"I am now the Ultimate God and Ruler of this world!" said Rex confident.
Not too long after that, a Cyber End Dragon landed near the Akiza , Sara and Rafael, accompanied by a Judgement Dragon and Destiny End Dragoon, as Blair, Tyranno and Aster appeared, bruised up and full of dirt, barely standing "Guys, what happened?" asked Rafael, rushing to them with Jaden, as Blair simply fell unconsious in Tyranno's arms.
"That thing is way too strong." Said Aster in shame "Our monsters didn't hold a chance agaisnt it."
"Hi guys." Said Syrus appearing in dirt clothes and a bit bruised, with an equally gruised Chazz holding at his shoulder, as Cyber Dragon, Judgement Dragon and Destiny End Dragoon disappeared in debris "We joined them and id our best to bring them." Said Sy looking down.
"That thing is...nothing like we've face so far. " added Chazz, taking a seat nearby to rest.
"To think its that powerful..." said Rafael, closing his fist and turning to where the King of the Underworld was, noting Reigas and Liana were still fighting "Alan, Emily, take care." He said, turnign then to Goodwin, still failing to understand his goal.
"Are my brother and Emily okay?" asked Sara worried, to which Tyranno nodded.
"They are still trying to slow it down, their monsters do better than ours, but they still have little chances to hold that hing back." Said Tyranno serious and looking down. They turned back, noting that by the entrance many people were gathering just outside of the estate, purple flames impending their further advance.
"In a fashion" said Rafael, kind of finding himself related to Goodwin "his point is a good one, but he looked for a cruel path to accomplisht that goal." He said, thinking of his own choice he made before to lure Reginald to him, avoiding to harm anyone in his fight "YuseI!" shouted Rafael as everyone turned to him "You have to show Rex that there's no good coming from his choice! Our bonds make us stronger, allowing us to keep going on!"
Rex simply smirked "Hmph, human bonds are fragile. To reign over destiny, the only choice is for ME to become the new God of a new world!" Crow simply finished setting 2 cards face down.
"Like Crow, I don't care about this kind of stuff Goodwin." Said Jack, taking his turn now and about to draw his card "Not even bonds , I'll simply push forward fast, just enough so noone catchse up with me!" said Jack valiantly, getting his card "I set a card face down. Then I summon Magic Hole Golem to the field in defense mode!" said Jack as a gray totem-like ring creature appeared on the field, with 2000 Def points "Its effect activates now, by halving the Atk of a monster I control to attack directly! I choose Mad Archfiend!" said Jack as his red haired demon jumped through the golem, with a red aura surrounding it and reducing its attack "Attack Goodwin now Mad Archfiend!" the red haired fined flew forward to Goodwin "Bone Splash!" ordered Jack, as the mouth in the monster's stomach began chomping a skull and throwing the pieces at Goodwin, reducing his LP to 7900.
"Come on Jack, it doesn't matter how you race by" said Crow recovering from the thunder strike "you can't cut off our ties! Trap card open! Shadow Dance! When a monster makes a succesful direct attack, it inflicts 1000 damage to the opponent!" said Crow smiling.
"What?" said Rex a bit surprised while surrounded bya ared aura, suffering from the trap card as his LP dropped to 6900 and SC to 2.
"Crow's right, being a Signer or not, we all share a bond, that of friendship!" said Yusei supporting his friends "This bond is an absolute steadfast symbol! With it, we'll tear down fate!" he said while Rex simply laughed at the idea, Yusei then activating a card to prove it "Trap card open! Rising Rush! When the opponent suffers effect damage, I can Special Summon a Tuner monster in my hand! Come ofrth, Junk Synchron!" added Yusei as his orange armored ninja-like warrior appeared.
"I end my turn with that, your move Yusei!" shouted Jack, as yusei moved forward to continue the duel.
"My turn, draw!" said Yusei as Junk Synchron pulled a rope in its back armor "I'm tuning up my level 3 Junk Synchron with my level 4 Max Warrior!" Junk Synchron began glowing, turning into three energy rings that surrounded Max Warrior "Clustering roars turn into an echoing arrow which tears through the sky! Become the path its light shines upon!" chanted Yusei as a ray of light passed through the rings "Synchro summon! Show yourself, Junk Archer!" from the light, an orange armored warrior with a blue scope in its helmet and bow in left hand appeared in the field "I activate my Archer's effect! Once a turn, I can remove from play a monster my opponent controls until the End Phase!" Yusei's Junk Archer then readied an arrow, aiming at Quilla directly "Junk Archer, remove Moon Dragon Quilla! Dimension Shot!" ordered Yusei as the orange armored archer shot the arrow, which crashed with Quilla, moving it out of the field, leaving Rex wide open.
"Our cards are linked together now!" said Jack calmly.
"He's field is open now! That's the power of our bonds!" added Crow, as Yusei prepared an attack.
"Junk Archer, attack Goodwin directly! Scrap Arrow!" ordered Yusei with his archer shooting another arrow that aimed for Rex this time.
"You won't make it! Trap card open! Sacrifice of Honour!" replied Rex, as his trap "When I receive an attack without monsters on my field, that attack is negated!" the arrow got dissolved by a yellow light coming from Rex's trap, Yusei disappointed the attack didn't go through completely "After that, it Special Summons 2 Sacrifice Stone Tokens to my field." Added Rex smiling deviously as the red eyed stone tokens appeared beside him. Yusei and his friends immediately realized what Goodwin had set them up.
"Impossible, that means-!" said Sara surprised, while Rafael got frustrated.
"Yes it does, an Earthbound Immortal is coming." He said, turning to his back and noting the Underworld King was getting closer, arriving at the city already.
"Then I add a card with Earthbound Immortal in its name to my hand from my Deck!" added Rex happily, as he held the last Earthbound Immortal, a condor winged beast monster, Wiraqocha Rasca.
"So after negating the attack, and summoning those monsters, he still gets and Earthbound Immortal?" said Crow quite annoyed by that card, while Goodwin simply smiled and laughed "That's not fair!"
Rex simply smirked at Crow's complaint "Why of course, for I am the Ultimate God that has everything inscribed in my body!" he then began laughing at them.
"I set 2 faced downs, I end my turn." Said Yusei, nothing more to do at the moment, while Rex laughed a bit.
"Now, Moon Dragon Quilla returns to the field." Said Rex, his blue dragon returning from the banishment.

"Here it comes." Said Rafael worried, knowing Rex's move through the other Dark Signers duels.
"It's my turn now! I release both tokens!" said Goodwin drawing his card and with both tokens disappearing in a sphere of light, joining together then and flying to the sky "Bring about ultimate destruction, mightiest Earthbound Immortal! Come forth, Wiraqocha Rasca!" shouted Rex, as a light began glowing above him in a purple tone, swallowing both tokens.
All people gathered around the purple flames surrounding the estate of Goodwin turned their sight to the light, as Sector Security officers began turning into purple orbs, their souls, being sacrificed to the Earthbound Immortal "This is terrible!" said Angela, reporting in the nearby area as people around her and the news team began suffering the horrible fate "People are starting to turn into light and-!" she said, noticing the victims were people near to her "Run! Run!" she shouted, but not avoiding the fate as she still got sacrificed, as the shell containing the Earthbound Immortal appeared, beating and swallowing the souls, until it absorbed enough of them, releasing a yellow bright shine, from which two wings and a pair of talons came from it, as the condor fully appeared from its prison.
At the city's edge with the sea, the Underworld King reacted to Wiraqocha Rasca's arrival, shooting from its body multiple slime shots tha tbegan turning into condor like creatures, heading for Yusei and company, surrounding and protecting its masters, Rex and Wiraqocha Rasca, quickly soaring through the geoglyph to be on par with Yusei, Crow and Jack "The ceremony its reaching its climax! Not even the king of the Underworld can contain its excitement of seeing the Earthbound Immortal appearing!" claimed Goodwin lifting his hands, then pointing at them "It's acalling to me, to satisfy his thirst of 5000 years with your blood!" he said, laughing upon it.
"Well, I've had enough of just sitting around." Said Rafael, turning on his Duel Disk, everyone around him turning to him "If this is going to be the end, then I prefer to fight rather than just stay here watchinf my friends risk their lives." He turned around, facing where the King of the Underworld was, as Sara and Akio smiled.
"Count me in, I won't let you go alone this time." She said, smiling. Roland simply stepped up, not quite amazed.
"I don't care what happens, I won't die here. But if you fight, so will I." He said, readying his Duel Disk.
"I'm with you to the end Commander." Said Akio, gettign ready with Lily.
"We both are, this is our last stand." She said, Jaden and Alexis joining up.
"Time to get this game on! Darkness won't prevail!" said Jaden eagerly as always, Alexis taking his hand.
"We will see this through, together." She added, starting her Duel Disk.
"Paladins, this is our new mission!" shouted Rafael, determined "Protect the Signers, mostly Jack, Crow and Yusei up there! Don't let this freaky birds scare you! Roll out!"
"Magic shall take the lead!" said Sara, drawing three cards "Summon! Endymion, the Master Magician! Arcanite Magician! Magical Rune Knight Ilyan!" said Sara, as her purples kinned magician with black robes and staff; another magician appeared, this one with white robes and a black staff; finally her ace card, a white haired woman with standard knight armor for women and a white cape, similar to Sara.
"Here comes my turn!" said Roland, taking three card "Summon! Ally of justice Catastor! Ally of Justice Field Marshall! Shadow Avenger, Gandor the Dark Crusader!" his machine-like spider, a giant machine warrior with two tough fists and legs supporting it s height and weight appeared, as a tall armored warrior with sharp claws gauntlet and a black cape with a hood appeared from the shadows.
"Dark Paladin, come forth!" said Akio, as his ace fusion warrior mixed with spellcaster techniques.
"Let's help now, Phoenix Gearfired!" said Lily, as her white armored versionof gearfried wielding shield and sword landed in flames, ready to fight.
"Fusion time! Elemental Hero Divine Neos!" said Jaden, as the gold armored Neos fusion appeared, ready to take on the condors.
"It's my go now, Ice Queen I call you!" said Alexis as her white robed woman with an ice staff appeared with a small blizzard wind.
"For tomorrow! We shall protect our friends!" said Rafael, picking up 5 cards "Felgrand Dragon! Blue Eyes White Dragon! Trishula Dragon of the Ice Barrier! Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon! Dragon Lord-Dragoon Knight Lord! I call all of you!" said Rafael, as his dragons appeared roaring, commanded by the paladin whtie armored dragoon.
The monsters immediatly swept by, strikign down a few condor demons, while other managed to pass through, heading at Yusei and company, one of them aiming for Yusei, until a thorn pierce through the condo demon, as Black Rose Dragon was flying above them, readying to take down others "Good job Black Rose Dragon!" said Akiza, as her Duel Disk was on, flying towards another group and taking them down, while Ancient Fairy Dragon appeared too.
"Standing in this field we can harness the powers of our monsters." said Luna surprised, as she noticed the monsters of the Signers and the Paladins were real, attacking the condors that the King of the Underworld.
"Akiza! Luna! Let's try a finisher attack!" said Rafael, as Luna and Akiza nodded.
"Eternal Sunshine!" said Luna, as Ancient Fairy Dragon began harnessing light "Black Rose Flare!" said Akiza, as Black Rose Dragon harnessed black flames in its mouth "Burst Stream of Destruction!" shouted Rafael as Blue Eyes White Dragon harnessed its famous attack, the three dragon combining it and firing at a large group of condors approaching Yusei, Crow and Jack, erasing the condors in instants.
"Guys!" said Yusei as Crow and Jack smiled from the group below them, as they waved hi to the duelists.
"We will fight too, Yusei!" said Luna determined, standing with her twin brother.
"I too will fight for the first true friends I've had in my life!" said Akiza, as Luna, Leo and she said in unison "To protect these bonds dear to us!"
"Those wishes you have, have been received!" said Yusei, as he turned to Goodwin who was still smiling deviously.
