Finally! Here comes the Shadow Duel I've been waiting to work with for months! I'm also adding a few Easter eggs; can you find them?

You have no idea how many times I played Solo Duel on Duelingbook with the King of the Netherworld's Deck and my/Estelle's real Deck to collect material and write the script for a perfect Duel. I had to cancel multiple times to change the King's Deck.

This is, by far, one of the longest Duels I've ever written. That's why I had to split it up into two parts.

We are six reviews away from the next shout-out! Who will be the winner this time?

The chapter begins in Estelle's point of view.

Disclaimer: I do not own any Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's characters! I only own my OCs!

Chapter 46: Star Priestess VS. Nether King – Part 1

"We shall begin with 5000 Life Points each", the King informed me. "After all, the first war with the Crimson Dragon, his servants, and my servants occurred five thousand years ago."

"That's fine by me", I said with a glare.

"LET'S DUEL!"

Estelle: 5000 LP

King: 5000 LP

I drew the top five cards of my Deck just as the King drew the top five cards of his own Deck. I got Oracle of the Sun, Apocatequil, Fire Ant Ascator, Supay, and Return of the Dragon Lords. This was an interesting hand to say the least.

"I go first! I draw!" I called as I drew Breakthrough Skill. "I summon Apocatequil in attack mode!"

An Incan Monster that was made out of wood, except the robe it was wearing, floated out from a gate and stood in front of me with a wand in its hand. He only reached up to my waist and I was a tall woman.

Apocatequil, Level 4: ATK 1800

"I end my turn with that."

"What?! That's it?!" Crow gaped from the mist cage. "C'mon, Estelle, use your main game!"

"Just a Monster and not even a card to protect it", the King chuckled mockingly. "I draw, and I summon Baobaboon in defense mode."

The Ener-D beacon glowed brighter for a second before a four foot tall Baobab tree jumped out of the energy and landed on front of the King of the Netherworld. I raised my eyebrow in surprise when I saw this tree had an Old World monkey's face on it.

Baobaboon, Level 3: DEF 1000

"Baobaboon's effect! When he's Normal or Special summoned, I may draw one card from my Deck, but I must then place one card at the bottom of the Deck." He drew a card before placing one of the other cards from his hand to the bottom of his Deck. "Next, I play Reload. I shuffle my entire hand back to the Deck and draw the same amount of cards." His Duel Disk shuffled the Deck before he drew four fresh new cards. "With that, I shall end my turn."

"My turn!" I called as I drew Supay, Duskwalker. "I summon Fire Ant Ascator in attack mode!"

The huge dark orange ant crawled out of a gate next to Apocatequil and hissed angrily at Baobaboon.

Fire Ant Ascator, Level 3, Tuner: ATK 700

"Apocatequil's effect! When there's a Tuner Monster on my field, his Level goes up from Level 4 to Level 5!"

Said Monster let out an echoed howl as his body grew in size a bit, but he was still small compared to Fire Ant Ascator.

Apocatequil, Level 4 – Level 5: ATK 1800

"She's gonna Synchro summon Sun Dragon Inti! I just know it!" Leo cheered.

I smiled with a soft chuckle at Leo's guess. "Now, I tune Level 3 Fire Ant Ascator with Level 5 Apocatequil to Synchro summon the wings that turns the sky black while protecting the ones he holds dear!"

The two Monsters tuned into a bright white light as I raised my right hand to the sky. A bright crimson light emitted from my Mark as Crow's Synchro Monster card got teleported to me before I placed it on the Duel Disk.

"Come forth, Black-Winged Dragon!"

The tuning light changed from white to black as Black-Winged Dragon appeared on the field with a loud hissing growl.

Black-Winged Dragon, Level 8: ATK 2800

"What the?! Hey, isn't that my card?!" Crow gaped in disbelief.

"Yes, Master Crow", Black-Winged Dragon hissed.

"So one of the Crimson Dragon's servants has appeared. No matter; none of the dragons will be able to lay a single scratch on me."

"Maybe not now, but later on", I pointed out. "Black-Winged Dragon, destroy Baobaboon!"

Black-Winged Dragon opened his beak-like mouth and collected energy before firing a black and purple energy beam at Baobaboon. The monkey face on the tree shrieked in fear before it got destroyed.

"Baobaboon's second effect! When it's destroyed by battle or card effect, I can Special summon any number of Baobaboon from my Deck. So I shall take the opportunity and Special summon two more Baobaboon!"

As soon as Black-Winged Dragon's attack died down, two more Baobaboon jumped out of the Ener-D beacon and bounced around on the field.

Baobaboon, Level 3: DEF 1000

Baobaboon, Level 3: DEF 1000

"Baobaboon's first effect! I draw two cards from my Deck, but must place two cards at the bottom of it."

I nodded as I acknowledged the King's move. "I end my turn."

"I draw. I summon Spirit Reaper in defense mode."

A zombie Monster flew out from the beacon to the field. It looked like those reaper creatures with a scythe, but this one looked like a half-rotten skeleton dressed in just a purple robe.

Spirit Reaper, Level 3: DEF 200

I was familiar with this Monster. It couldn't be destroyed by battle, so I had no chance to get rid of it for now. Maybe with Breakthrough Skill, but I wanted to save it for the worst case.

"With this, I shall end my turn."

"My turn!" I called as I drew Vylon Stella. "I summon Vylon Stella in attack mode!"

My favorite Vylon Monster flew out from a gate next to the Signer Dragon and punched the air violently.

Vylon Stella, Level 3, Tuner: ATK 1400

"Are you about to Synchro summon your guardian dragon, Priestess?"

"No, I'm not going to do that", I shook my head. "Black-Winged Dragon, Vylon Stella, destroy the two Baobaboon!"

Black-Winged Dragon used his energy beam to destroy the first Baobaboon while Vylon Stella punched the second Baobaboon into pieces with rapid fists.

"I end my turn."

"I draw. I release Spirit Reaper to Tribute summon Mefist the Infernal General!"

Spirit Reaper transformed into a rainbow orb as a thin beam of Ener-D fired from the main beacon and hit the orb. The orb grew bigger before it shapeshifted into a large black horse with dark grey armor. Humanoid knight clad in the same armor as the horse sat on top of it with a long dual axe in its hand. It had long flowing hair and a black cape.

Mefist the Infernal General, Level 5: ATK 1800

"Mefist the Infernal General, destroy Vylon Stella!"

The Infernal General's horse tapped the ground with its hoof before it dashed forward. Mefist raised his dual axe and pointed it at Vylon Stella. My Tuner Monster cried in panic as Mefist slashed it with the axe. Vylon Stella shattered into pieces that flew at me. I used my Duel Disk to shield my face from the piece. I grunted slightly as a small piece scratched my right cheek. This Shadow Duel was real, just as the other Duels with the Dark Signers.

Estelle: 5000 LP – 4600 LP

King: 5000 LP

"Mefist's effect! When he inflicts battle damage, I am allowed to discard one random card from your hand." I raised my hand to show him the back of my five cards. "I choose the one to the very left." He pointed at the back of Oracle of the Sun, so I grabbed the card and sent it to the Graveyard. "I end my turn."

"I draw!" I called as I drew Shining Angel. "I summon Shining Angel in attack mode!"

A male angel dressed in a greenish turquoise robe spun around as he flew out from a gate that appeared on the ground.

Shining Angel, Level 4: ATK 1400

"Time to show the evil darkness what we're capable of! Black-Winged Dragon, destroy Mefist the Infernal General!"

Black-Winged Dragon roared as he fired a new purple energy beam and destroyed Mefist. In the light, it looked like Mefist and his horse were melting into goo.

Estelle: 4600 LP

King: 5000 LP – 4000 LP

"Shining Angel, attack the King directly!"

Shining Angel flew towards the King, but then flew up. The fairy Monster cupped his hands and slowly created a bright light between the palms of his hands before he fired it at the King. The resurrected King didn't even flinch by the bright light as pieces of his sludge body scattered around him.

Estelle: 4600 LP

King: 4000 LP – 2600 LP

"Alright! Go, Estelle!" Leo cheered.

"Keep this up and you'll win!" Misty added.

"I end my turn with that", I told the King.

The King chuckled softly before it grew into a very loud laughter, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I did notice the Shadow Duel seemed to go too easy for me, as if the King didn't even attempt to try use full force.

"What're you laughing at?!" Jack growled at the resurrected King.

"Oh, how ignorant you humans are", the evil King chuckled. "Did you sincerely believe I was playing easy from the very beginning?"

"What do you mean?!" Yusei asked.

"I was merely waiting for the right moment to unleash my wrath. And now, thanks to your assistance, Priestess, I shall show you the terror that is waiting! I draw, and I activate the Continuous Spell; Spell Absorption! For every Spell card that both you and I activate, I shall receive 500 Life Points. Next, I play Monster Reborn to Special summon Mefist the Infernal General back to the field!"

The monster artifact floated out from the Spell card before the blade slashed the air and created a cut. The cut opened, allowing Mefist and his horse to gallop out to the field.

Mefist the Infernal General, Level 5: ATK 1800

"And Spell Absorption activates."

Before the Monster Reborn card vanished from the field, it sent a thin aura to the Continuous Spell card. A soft glowing pink orb floated out from the card and sent a cloud of shiny particles to the resurrected King.

Estelle: 4600 LP

King: 2600 LP – 3100 LP

"Next, I summon the Tuner Monster, Phantom King Hydride in attack mode."

Another horse galloped out from beacon of Ener-D and landed on the ground next to Mefist and his horse. This new horse was twice as small and had its own rider as well. The male rider was dressed in a silver armor and held a large knife-like sword in his hand.

Phantom King Hydride, Level 3, Tuner: ATK 1500

"A Tuner Monster… That means he's going to Synchro summon!" Akiza realized.

"Correct assumption, Signer. I tune Level 3 Phantom King Hydride with Level 5 Mefist the Infernal General to Synchro summon the dragon the Crimson Dragon created by his Negative Energy and banished to the Netherworld!"

"Wait?! You mean, there was another Signer Dragon?! Is it Leo's destined dragon?!" Luna asked in disbelief.

Another Signer Dragon, but this one got banished by the Crimson Dragon? My eyes widened as I figured out which dragon it could be. "No… It can't be!"

Black-Winged Dragon released a deep growl in frustration. I guessed he also knew who was coming.

The two knights with their horses transformed into eight normal Level Stars that circled around for the Synchro summoning while the King raised both his arms.

"The King of the Netherworld cannot rule the world alone as he needs a queen by his side to assist him with her own power of darkness! To crunch everything and everyone who dares to stand in our way! Together, we shall pull the curtain of darkness to drown the curtain of light! Come forth, my queen; Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons!"

The eight Level Stars created a beacon of dark light that the beacon of Ener-D reacted to. Both beacons shone bright for a moment before two dragon cries echoed from them. My eyes widened in shock and disbelief as I saw a dragon I had only seen in the manga.

"Beelze…"

Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons was a huge dragon, around the same size as Red Dragon Archfiend, but it had two long necks with heads and a long serpent-like body with a pair of arms. The metallic scales were blood red with yellow decorations between the gaps. The torso looked like the face of a fly's with a mouth with sharp teeth and a pair of barge yellow gemstones that looked like eyes. On the top of the torso, between the junctions where the two necks were, was a humanoid female Monster, dressed in the same armor as the dragon itself, with long and flowing black hair.

Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons, Level 8: ATK 3000

"What is that thing?!" Carly shrieked in fear.

"I've never heard of this Monster!" Kalin added.

"Beelze…!" Black-Winged Dragon growled.

"Hello, Black-Winged", Beelze replied with a dual voice. "It's such a pleasure to see you again."

"Beelze can talk too…?" Aki mumbled.

"You dared to join forces with the King of the Netherworld?!" Black-Winged Dragon snarled.

"But of course. My former lord banished me because I was created by his Negative Energy."

"What are you talking about?" I questioned, feeling very confused.

The two dragon heads of Beelze's turned to me. "Then allow me to explain, Priestess. Once upon a time, the Crimson Dragon was corrupted by his own darkness, but a piece of his consciousness knew he had to stop himself from destroying the world, so he used his remaining light to create six Signer Dragons who could keep him at bay. However, when it seemed nothing could stop the lord, a bright star descended from the sky and assisted the Signer Dragons. Together, they were able to purify the Crimson Dragon and purged the Negative Energy that corrupted him. The lord gave shape and life to the Negative Energy, creating the seventh Signer Dragon; me, Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons."

This legend sounded very similar to the manga version. In that, the Crimson Dragon was a dark god, but created the Signer Dragons, or Duel Dragons as they were called in the manga, to keep him at bay if he should ever lose control with the help of the Priests of Light AKA the Signers.

However, this bright star never appeared in the manga. Could it be that was Star Eater? So he wasn't created by the Crimson Dragon? Didn't that make him an alien, just like how I was in this world?

"However, after giving birth to me, my former lord banished me to the Netherworld, fearing that chaos should break loose if I remained on the surface", Beelze continued before snorting. "A foolish mistake. I joined the Army of Shadows and helped the Earthbound Immortals to break through their seals to crawl up to the surface."

"Beelze remained by my side as my guardian and queen as my servants raged war against the Crimson Dragon and his servants. The rest…is history. But enough talk! Beelze, attack Shining Angel! Show them your destructive power, my queen!"

"With pleasure!"

Beelze's dragon heads opened their mouth and collected dark energy before they fired a dual beam at Shining Angel. My Monster tried to shield himself by holding up his arms in front of his face, but he got obliterated. My hair and robe ruffled violently by the force of Beelze's attack.

Estelle: 4600 LP – 3000 LP

King: 3100 LP

"When Shining Angel is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special summon one LIGHT Monster with 1500 or less attack points from my Deck! I choose Galaxy Serpent!"

My Duel Disk shuffled the Deck for a brief second before the top card pointed out. I grabbed it and confirmed it was the card I wanted, so I placed it on the Duel Disk. A gate opened next to Black-Winged Dragon before the little dragon made of a galaxy's light flew out with a soft coo.

Galaxy Serpent, Level 2, Tuner: ATK 1000

"I can tell you are plotting something", the King chuckled. "I end my turn."

"My turn!" I called as I drew Enemy Controller. "I discard one card from my hand to the Graveyard to Special summon Supay, Duskwalker in defense mode!" I discarded the Tuner Monster, Supay, before summoning its assigned spellcaster.

Supay, Duskwalker jumped out from a gate and stood tall and elegantly on the field. She was a few inches shorter than me, clad in black Incan clothes with gold and dark lilac accents, black long gloves, a pair of black sandals, and a slight dark lavender cape. She had long dirty pink hair that had a head decoration of lavender feathers. She had a blue glowing brooch on the cape that resembled the moon stone of Moon Dragon Quilla while she held a staff with a replica of Supay on top.

Supay, Duskwalker, Level 5: DEF 1900

"When she's Special summoned like this, I can Special summon Supay from my Deck, which I'll do!"

My Duel Disk shuffled the Deck once again and added my second Supay on top of it. I grabbed the card and placed it on the Duel Disk next to Supay, Duskwalker. Instead for a gate opening, the replica of Supay on the spellcaster's wand glowed for a second before it floated and grew in size and revealed its true self.

Supay, Level 1, Tuner: ATK 300

"Is Estelle going to make a double Synchro summoning?" Akiza wondered in the background.

"I tune Level 2 Galaxy Serpent with Level 5 Supay, Duskwalker to Synchro summon the bulldozer who bravely fought against the Earthbound Immortals!"

I raised my hand once again as the two Monster tuned together. My Mark glowed again as Leo's Power Tool Dragon card appeared between my fingers.

"Come forth, Power Tool Dragon!"

Supay, Duskwalker and Galaxy Serpent released a bright light before Power Tool Dragon broke through it with a roar.

Power Tool Dragon, Level 7: ATK 2300

"Alright, that's my card!" Leo cheered joyfully.

"I'm not done yet! I now tune Level 1 Supay with Level 7 Power Tool Dragon to reveal his true self!"

Supay transformed into a single tuning ring which Power Tool Dragon flew into. The machine Monster roared as its armor broke inter millions pieces, revealing the form that had been hiding for a long time. At the same time, I raised my hand to the sky as a new card appeared between my fingers. I slammed the card on the Duel Disk just as the head armor of the once-machine Monster broke apart.

"Come forth, the final Signer Dragon; Life Stream Dragon!"

The new dragon's roar sounded like Palkia's from Pokémon as he was relieved to be free from his metallic armor. His scales were orange with hints of brown, and he had a spear attached on his left arm, looking sharp and deadly.

Life Stream Dragon, Level 8, Tuner: ATK 2900

My Mark glowed through the textile gauntlet on my arm, signaling the last Signer Dragon had made its first official appearance. I glanced over my shoulder to see the Signers' Marks were glowing as well.

"Our Marks!" Aki exclaimed in disbelief.

"They're responding to Life Stream Dragon!" Yusei said. "Just as they responded to Black-Winged Dragon the first time he appeared!"

"Leo, that means Life Stream Dragon is your Signer Dragon!" Luna called. "I saw him in the dream about our dragons and the Crimson Dragon fighting the Earthbound Immortals!"

Leo watched Life Stream Dragon in awe and with big bright eyes. "Life Stream Dragon… He was hiding as Power Tool Dragon the whole time!" A wide grin appeared on his face. "I knew it! I knew I was a Signer just as long as Luna was!"

"When Life Stream Dragon is Synchro summoned, I can make my Life Points become 4000 instead!" I continued.

Life Stream Dragon roared as he released an orange cloud of pixie dust. The dust rained down on me as I closed my eyes and enjoyed the brief warm feeling of the Signer Dragon's effect.

Estelle: 3000 LP – 4000 LP

King: 3100 LP

"Alright! That'll give Estelle more time to win the Duel!" Crow said in relief.

"But the clock is ticking!" Kalin reminded. "Remember, at midnight, if Estelle doesn't defeat the King, the Army of Shadows will destroy out world!"

I checked my hand to think for a moment. Should I place Enemy Controller and Breakthrough Skill facedown to stop Beelze for the next turn? But Beelze was a difficult dragon; she couldn't be destroyed by battle or effect effects. The only way to get rid of her was if I could banish her, but now I couldn't.

I should wait one more turn and find out what the King of the Netherworld wanted to do. Besides, I had a plan with the Spell and Trap cards, so I wanted to save them. "I end my turn."

"I draw!" the King called. "I play Terraforming to add the Field Spell, Earthbound Geoglyph, from my Deck to my hand!"

While that was happening, Spell Absorption activated and increased the King's Life Points.

Estelle: 4000 LP

King: 3100 LP – 3600 LP

If the King was adding a Field Spell card to his hand… He was planning to summon an Earthbound Immortal!

"Don't tell me he's going to summon an Earthbound Immortal?!" Jack yelled, frustrated.

"Correct assumption, Signer. I activate Earthbound Geoglyph!"

Purple mist appeared around us as they obviously formed a geoglyph, but I couldn't tell which Nazca Line it was forming. At the same time, Spell Absorption activated.

Estelle: 4000 LP

King: 3600 LP – 4100 LP

"My queen… Allow me to do the next move."

"Do what you must, my king", Beelze purred.

"While Earthbound Geoglyph is active, I may treat one Synchro Monster as two tributes of an Earthbound Immortal."

"What?!" my friends exclaimed in disbelief.

"I release Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons to summon Earthbound Immortal Aslla piscu!"

Beelze transformed into a rainbow orb that split into two. They shot up to the sky where they used into one, emitting a bright light. When the light died down, it revealed a stone heart that beat in a steady rhythm while it absorbed the Negative Energy from the Ener-D beacon. I quickly turned around to see how my friends were doing. They were protected by a crimson energy dome, so Misty, Kalin, and Carly wouldn't get sacrificed for the summoning.

The stone heart unleashed a purple beacon of light that hit the ground, causing a brief quake, before a huge black hummingbird with orange highlights raised from the purple mist with a loud screech that sounded a lot like a tuning fork.

Earthbound Immortal Aslla piscu, Level 10: ATK 2500

My eyes widened in shock to see an Earthbound Immortal again. Weren't they sealed away by the Crimson Dragon after the final Shadow Turbo Duel? Did they get help from Beelze while the King of the Netherworld was slowly living inside me as a parasite?

My head suddenly throbbed harshly by a headache. I grunted softly as I rubbed my head to smooth the pain down. The headache was the same I had whenever an Earthbound Immortal was summoned in the past.

I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard one of the girls scream in pain behind me. I turned around and saw Carly was down on her knees while clutching her head. The others surrounded her, trying to calm her down.

XXXXXXXXXX – Carly's POV

This Duel reminded me a lot of the Duel in my nightmares with me Turbo Dueling Jack, and the purple mist around us looked like the course we drove around with our Runners.

But the biggest shock was the sight of this large black and orange hummingbird. It looked exactly like that shadow that tried to manipulate me in my dreams. Its screech was the same too and it hurt my ears for a moment.

The next thing I knew, I got the mother of all headaches. I cried out in pain as I collapsed on my knees, clutching my head as it felt like it was going to crack open. I could barely hear my friends call my name as I fought against the pain.

I had my eyes shut tight, but I snapped them open with a loud gasp as clear images flew through my head.

The Shadow Turbo Duel… My Fortune Ladies… Jack bleeding… My desire to make Jack mine and mine alone by killing him…

No…! It couldn't be!

"Carly! Carly, can you hear me?!" Jack's voice echoed around me.

I slowly moved my head up, my eyes getting glassy by tears, as I saw Jack's worried expression. "J-Jack…"

"I'm here, Carly!" Jack said as he wrapped an arm around me.

"Jack…", I bit my lower lip to stop the sobs in my throat. "I… I'm so sorry, Jack!" I couldn't hold myself back and threw myself on my crush, wrapping my arms around him. "I'm sorry I hurt you and almost killed you!"

"C-Carly…", Jack's voice shook as I cried openly. "D-Do you remember…?"

I nodded slowly as I tried to calm myself down, but my tears were flowing like waterfalls. "I'm sorry, Jack! I never wanted to hurt you, but I… I…!"

Jack held me tight as I tried taking deep breathes to calm down. "I know, Carly…", he said in a low voice. "And I forgive you. You weren't yourself at that time. You're not the one to blame."

His words almost make me want to cry even harder. How could he forgive me when I had almost killed him? I didn't deserve his warm hug, and yet… I was drawn to it as a moth drawn to the light. I needed Jack's warmth against my cold body.

XXXXXXXXXX – Estelle's POV

I overheard what was going on with Carly and it made me feel uncomfortable. She remembered her dark past and it was because of Earthbound Immortal Aslla piscu's presence.

I growled through my gritted teeth and turned to the King of the Netherworld. "You added Aslla piscu to your Deck on purpose, didn't you?! You wanted to mess with Carly's mind and make her remember her past as a Dark Signer!"

"You are half-correct, Priestess. I have every Earthbound Immortal in my Deck, except Wiraqocha Rasca."

I raised an eyebrow in confusion. Wasn't Wiraqocha Rasca technically the strongest of all Earthbound Immortals? "Why is that?"

"Because Miracle Star Dragon killed him."

"By kill, you mean destroyed?"

"No. Wiraqocha Rasca was killed by Miracle Star Dragon's Crimson Gungnir attack. His spirit and body is no longer in our world, just as your guardian killed my main body. It is time for you to face the wrath of my army! Aslla piscu, attack directly!"

Aslla piscu chirped before he flew towards me, the sharp beak clearly aimed at me. Black-Winged Dragon and Life Stream Dragon tried blocking the Immortal's path, but they were swiped aside like flies by the hummingbird's wings.

I had nothing that could stop Aslla piscu's attack, so I crossed my arms in front of my face and braced myself for impact. My eyes were on the pointy beak and watched it come closer. It was only inches away from me when my Mark began glowing and formed a crimson energy dome around me. Aslla piscu's beak collided with the dome and caused sparks and noise like claws against a chalk blackboard.

I blinked my eyes at the defense mechanism my Mark had activated. This was the first time it had activated on its own without a Signer right next to me. Was it because my Mark was now completed and had a stronger power than before?

I snapped back to reality when I saw cracks growing on the dome. The next thing I knew, I crashed onto the ground, bouncing a few times before I landed on my stomach.

Estelle: 4000 LP – 1500 LP

King: 4100 LP

I heard my friends yell my name worriedly in the background, but my attention went to the soreness and pain I felt in my body. I grunted softly as I slowly pushed myself up on my elbows and knees, groaning in pain. My entire body ached, so it was hard for me to get up on my feet after I picked up the cards I had in my hand.

"Estelle, are you okay?!" Yusei called.

"Y-Yeah…", I nodded with a pained grunt. "I'm okay…"

"But not for long", the King chuckled. "I end my turn. Choose your next move well."

"I draw", I merely glared at the King as I drew Swords of Revealing Light. It came in a perfect timing, but that was not the only thing.

"Estelle, you better get rid of that Immortal as quickly as you can!" Jack yelled demandingly.

"I will try, Jack… With the help of your beloved dragons."

I could feel how my crimson eyes were burning, but they didn't hurt, as a pentagram appeared beneath my feet. The energy emitting from the pentagram caused my robe, skirt, and hair to float like water as I sensed the presence of the Crimson Dragon.

"It's time for the ritual. I release the Level 8 Tuner Monster, Life Stream Dragon, and the Level 8 non-Tuner Monster, Black-Winged Dragon as tributes for summoning the God that brought me to this world and connected me to the Signers! Come forth, Ultimaya Tzolkin!"

Life Stream Dragon and Black-Winged Dragon flew up to the sky while transforming into two energy beams that shot themselves to the clouds. The clouds began forming a spiral with red lightning cracking, like before a thunderstorm. My Mark glowed brighter and stronger as the wind around me grew violent.

A familiar dragon cry erupted before a long serpent body flew down from the spiral cloud and hovered far above me. The Crimson Dragon roared at the Earthbound Immortal as his Synchro card appeared in the middle of my Duel Disk with a soft crimson light.

Ultimaya Tzolkin, Level 12: ATK 0

It was time to bring out the true power of the Crimson Dragon and the Signer Dragons in order to get rid of the King of the Netherworld and stop the Army of Shadows from entering the surface of the planet.

XXXXXXXXXX

Did you find the Easter eggs? No? Then I'll tell you.

Mefist the Infernal General and Phantom King Hydride were added to the King of the Netherworld's Deck to represent the Skeleton Knight from the spin-off manga. Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons is an original Synchro Monster that only appeared in the manga and Ultimaya Tzolkin is based on the manga version of Ultimate God Ultimaya Tzolkin AKA the Crimson Dragon.
