Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's but we own the OCs!
It was early as Reks was fixing breakfast.
"Need any help?"
He looked over at that. Crow was walking over to him.
"Thanks Crow for the assist." Reks smiled to him.
Crow smiled back before starting to help the preparations.
"Hey... do you think we can manage this?" he asked.
"Yeah... With all the training Life Stream, and Ancient Fairy gave us we can do this." Reks answered to him.
Crow just nodded thoughtfully. "I hope you're right."
"Breakfast everyone!" Reks called after a few minutes.
"Reks... you didn't have to do that." Luna mentioned as the others all walked into the room.
"I want to do it." Reks told his girlfriend with a smile, "Crow helped me out."
Luna smiled kissing his cheek. "Well thank you both."
He blushed with a smile as they sit down to enjoy.
"So what's our plan? Dharak is probably going to show up with those minions of his that we lost to before." Jack pointed out.
"Lightrei didn't say those who fought us are his minions though." Dexter admitted.
"But we should wager that his 'children' should be weaker then him." Yusei added to them, "Which means we need to put everything we got."
"Well we better prepare as best as we can." Reks decided for them, "We don't know when he, and them will be here."
"Yeah, you're right." Leo agreed.
"But in case we fall, we got a lot of help. Kalin, Bruno, Carly, and everyone." Reks told them, "They will continue where we left off."
Everyone was quiet at that. Reks finished before starting the sink.
"I don't think we can do this you guys." Dexter admitted.
"We can do this." Leo told him, "We fought a lot of guys before, and this might be the last one for us to get peace. We trained for this, Dex."
"Leo, Lightrei is weaker than Dharak and none of us have come close to beating her." Dexter pointed out.
"Bob's right, it might be impossible." Patty agreed.
"What do you think all the training is for?" Sly asked them.
"I know... but I feel like it isn't enough." Dexter answered.
"We all gotten through things like this." Luna told them, "It's because of our bonds that we gotten this far."
Dexter, Bob, and Patty looked uncertain but didn't say anything.
"We will go through it together guys." Leo told them.
"How much time do you think we have?" Jack asked him.
"Not long or maybe long." Leo admitted.
"The Ancient Fairy Dragon might know." Yusei pointed out.
"How is she this morning?" Reks asked Luna.
Luna frowned before looking down. "She sounded scared."
Reks patted her back.
"What should we do now?" Crow inquired.
"Prepare on." Reks said to them as they nodded, "We need to get ready with as little time as we have for Dharak."
Later...
Reks was talking to Luna, and Leo until he froze dropping his glass of milk.
"Reks?" Leo asked seeing that.
"What's wrong?" Luna asked nervously.
He looked out a window before saying, "...He's here."
"What?" Leo asked in shock. "Already?"
"Today's the day, and it's 1:00." Reks told him.
"Then... we should go and stop him right." Leo mentioned nervously.
"It's okay to get nervous." Reks smiled to him, "I'm also nervous but I'm gonna keep going."
Leo looked at Reks before nodding. "Yeah, let's go."
With that they exited with everyone as clouds started to build sparking thunder.
"He's dramatic if nothing else." Crow admitted.
Just then something started to exit the clouds.
It was a black four legged dragon with purple scales as armor on his legs, spine, and tail, along with having curved horns, red eyes, long wings shaping like a bat with green on it, and green around his body, and has a green chestplate with fangs lowering down.
The group braced themselves seeing him.
The dragon started laughing, "I am here, ready to take my place as the Universe's Emperor! But first, I have to destroy the Lords of the Universe to claim the power I deserve! And it seems their power has been made to their successor belonging on this world. And you humans look like you were expecting me."
"You could say that." Jack replied.
"And I'd half-expected no-one has remembered me by now." the dragon admitted, "You probably know me but I'll introduce myself. I am the Dark Dragon destined to Rule the Universe, Dharak!"
"Sorry, but that isn't going to happen." Yusei told him.
"And your who those fools left to guard in their absence?" Dharak questioned at that, "Fine I'm itching to battle as soon as I'm released. But can you handle my children before me that is?"
"We can handle them and you." Akiza told him.
Dharak laughed before his wings glowed as the ground in front of them started glowing.
"Get back!" Akiza cried quickly.
They did so as the light fade showing five humanoid aliens each a different color of a attribute all but black is missing with 1 female, and the other 4 male.
Crow frowned. "So who are you?"
"I am Master Dharak's second in command, Krakix but in this form call me Gill, and I wield the attribute of Fire." the man wearing red gab answered sneering.
"Name's Lythirus but other name's Stoica, and as you can see Water is my specialty." another man wearing blue garb grinned waving with a sadistic grin.
"I am Strikeflier, but I am also known as Airzel, and the master of the Winds." another man having a ponytail having on a green robe introduced.
"I am Sabotaur, or known as Nurzak, Master Dharak's advisor, and commander of Earth." an elder man wearing a brown robe bowed politely.
"And finally, I am Lunagrowl but the name in this form is Kazarina, Master Dharak's scientist." the woman smirked having on a white dress with gold armor on, "And also on the side of Light."
"So before we take on Dharak we need to beat you five, sounds simple enough." Jack smirked.
"You should watch what your saying to us human, words have consequences." Gill told him crossing his arms.
"Oh?" Jack questioned.
"I don't care, or known how you all want to handle them just make sure their dealt with. In the meantime I'll be off finding myself a place to build my castle, and I guarantee to you humans it isn't gonna be where civilized environments are involved." Dharak said flying off.
"Wait!" Luna called to him.
"And what do you want to say?" Dharak asked turning his head to her.
Luna took a slow breath before drawing a card. "The holy light of protection, now cross and become eternal life! Synchro Summon! A regal birth, Ancient Fairy Dragon!"
At that Ancient Fairy Dragon appeared as Dharak gaped, "Lightrei?"
"Yes brother, please... you can still stop this." she told him. "It's not too late yet."
"Stop... After all these centuries you want me to stop my destiny?" Dharak asked her.
"Yes, please brother." Lightrei requested. "If you continue one of us will die."
"Oh make no mistake, I don't intend to spill the blood of my sister, and with me as Emperor me going down won't happen." Dharak told her.
Lightrei looked down before vanishing.
"Dharak just know that we will get the Silent Core out of you." Reks told him.
"Bah, you think that's gonna be easy? Oh no, your gonna have to get me first." Dharak told him, "For now let's see how you do against my children."
"Bring it on." Crow challenged.
"Ahaha! Alright that's what I like to hear!" Stoica grinned, "So Gillman how shall we do this?"
"First off it's GILL." Gill glared to Stoica before saying, "For now we'll take care of these humans in separate locations."
Yusei frowned hearing that.
"I'll be handling the girls myself." Kazarina smirked eyeing Akiza, Patty, and Luna.
"No, I'll duel you myself." Akiza told her.
"And why should I?" Kazarina asked her.
"That... never mind." Akiza frowned.
"That's what I thought." Kazarina smirked to her.
"Luna, be careful." Reks told his girlfriend.
Luna frowned but nodded.
"Meanwhile, I'll handle that guy there." Stoica grinned to Crow.
Crow frowned at that. 'Great, just great.'
"Then I'll handle him." Gill said to Jack.
Jack met his eyes only to frown. "So only one of you has any guts?"
"I'll take care of him there." Airzel said pointing to Sly.
Sly frowned hearing that.
"And for me I'll duel these young ones." Nurzak said staring at Leo, and Reks.
Leo's eyes widened in shock at that.
"Alright we've been readying ourselves." Reks said to him.
"Let's see how far it can go." Dharak said flying off.
"Shall we start?" Gill asked raising his arm as it started to have a red orb.
Suddenly the Signers, Reks, Sly, Patty, and Bob were protected by a Crimson Orb.
"He isn't gonna harm us." Reks told the Crimson Dragon who was aiding them.
"Reks, we're staying together." Yusei told him. "They're not splitting us up."
"Then you'll watch your comrades fall as we take you down." Gill said lowering his arm.
When he did the orb faded.
"Then I suppose I'm up first." Stoica grinned ready to begin.
Crow took a step forward. Stoica prepared himself as Crow does too.
"Crow be careful." Yusei told him.
Crow just nodded. "I know."
"LET'S DO THIS!"
(Dueling Theme: Faint by Linkin Park)
Crow: 4000

"So who goes first human?" Stoica grinned.

(Stoica: 3200)
"For a human he's not that bad." Airzel admitted.
"..." Gill didn't say anything staring intently.
"Wait a second, this feels too easy." Yusei frowned. "Crow be careful."
"I know Yuse." Crow told him, "Next Oroshi tunes level 6 Nothung!"

Luna smiled before gently taking Reks hand. Reks smiled at this before Crow called, "And now Armored Master charge at Lythirus!"
Armored Master charged only for Stoica to smirk, "You idiot!"
"W-What?" Crow asked surprised.
"With my ability whenever I'm attacked, I can use 1 Overlay Unit to stop the attack!" Stoica called as Lythirus took an Overlay Unit stopping the attack (ORU: 2- 1), "And then as a special favor... you lose 800 Life Points!"
Crow's eyes widened as the blast struck him causing him to cry out knocked away.

"Wait, but if Crow attacks again and it gets blocked that's 2050 points of damage." Leo frowned.
"Maybe, but Crow won't be out of points and Lythirus won't have any more Overlay Units." Akiza pointed out.
Armored Master charged only for Lythirus to again block it blasting Crow who cried out. (Crow: 2400)
Lythirus: (ORU: 1 - 0)
"Oh, and half your monster's attack points comes out of your own!" Stoica grinned as acid bubbles hit Crow. (Crow: 1150)
"This is bad." Jack frowned.
Crow shook his head, "Whateves, I set 2 cards. Your move."

"Best well not change it." Airzel shrugged to him.

Lythirus: (ATK: 300 + 1000 = 1300)
"Why should I be worried bout that? Your monster's still weaker!" Crow pointed out.
"Oh, I know that but you know what they say... Take advantage of your opponent's weaknesses!" Stoica smirked to him, "I activate Battle Gear - Razoid!"

Yusei frowned. "I have a bad feeling about this."
"And now once a turn Razoid placed a card from my hand to myself!" Stoica smirked as his last card attached to Lythirus, "I gain 500 points from Razoid."
Lythirus: (ATK: 1300 + 500 = 1800/ORU: 0 - 1)
"And as the spell, Merfolk is now an Overlay Unit say goodbye to 1000 of your monster's points!" Stoica smirked as Armored Master is weakened.
Armored Master: (ATK: 2500 - 1000 = 1500)
'At least Crow still has Armor Master's ability.' Leo thought seeing that.
"And now I attack! Megalo Thereia!" Stoica called as Lythirus attacked Armored Master.
Crow grinned, "Sorry Storkia!"
"What?" Stoica asked not caring bout the nickname.
"But Armored Master can't be destroyed by your attack, and I take no damage!" Crow called as the attack was shrugged off.
"Ah well it changes nothing." Stoica shrugged ending his turn.
Crow 2nd Turn:
"Let's see!" Crow called drawing looking.

"Not this time! Thanks to Razoid you can no longer use effects that target on Lythrius!" Stoica called at him.
"Maybe but your still taking damage!" Crow reminded as Stoica was struck grunting. (Stoica: 2600) "Then Oroshi why don't ya give Nothung another tune up!"
"Summon whatever you want it won't help you, this duel is over." Gills told him.
(LV: 1 + 6 = 7)

"And now Raikiri start us off!" Crow called as Raikiri charged in at Lythirus.
"Crow, he still has that Overlay Unit!" Leo panicked.
"Yes, need a reminder!?" Stoica cried as Lythirus took a Unit creating the barrier blasting Crow. (ORU: 1 - 0) (Crow: 0350)
"Ah... Guess I forgot." Crow grunted with closed eyes before opening with a grin, "Ah just kidding!"
"What?" Stoica asked.
"What was that you said earlier?" Crow grinned, "'Take advantage of your opponent's weaknesses'? Well that ability you just done is one cause it lets me activate Black Feather Beacon!"

Seeing the dragon Stoica's eyes widened. "That... what is that?"
"And now Black-Winged Dragon finish that bug off! Shadow Squall Blast!" Crow called it fired a black blast striking Lythrius causing it to screech in agony shattering as Stoica screamed from the damage. (Stoica: 1100)
"Perfect." Yusei grinned.
"No way!" Airzel asked in shock, "Just how strong are these humans?"
"Looks like they trained a lot against us. Better to be prepared." Nurzak mentioned to his comrades.
"I don't give a damn how long they trained on us. It changes NOTHING!" Gill yelled in anger, "Stoica what are you doing!? Get off your ass, and fix this!"
"If you're so confident I'll take you down next." Jack smirked.
Stoica got up glaring, "Oh that's it... No more Mr. Nice Guy! As Lythirus is destroyed you take 800 points of damage!"
Lythirus popped from the graveyard firing acid bubbles at Crow.
"Ah crap!" Reks panicked.
"Don't worry, Crow can handle it." Yusei smiled.
"Black-Winged Dragon's ability activates! Since an effect that deals me damage is being used Black-Winged Dragon turns it to zero!" Crow revealed as Black-Winged Dragon sucked the bubbles in it's mouth while some of it's feathers turned to black, "By doing that it gains a Black Feather Counter, and for each one it loses 700 points!"
Black-Winged Dragon: (ATK: 2800 - 700 = 2100/Black Feather Counter: 1)
"Effect damage doesn't work on Crow." Leo smiled.
"You were prepared for even that?" Stoica asked Crow.
"I place 2 cards down, and end my turn." Crow ended his turn.
Crow: 0350
Stoica: 1100
Stoica 3rd Turn:
"Grr fine!" Stoica called drawing, "Well here's something you won't expect! I have a graveyard ability!"
Crow's eyes widened hearing that.
"With no monsters present while you have one, I can summon myself from the graveyard, and all of your monsters on your field who is stronger then it goes back to your Deck!" Stoica called, "And as a bonus you can't use your effects to stop it!"
Lythirus shot out blasting the two Synchros causing them to vanish.
"At least that thing only has 300 points." Leo mentioned.
"Uh... No it doesn't." Dexter told him nervously, "It was restored when summoned from the graveyard back to 2200."
Leo's eyes widened.
"Don't you lose Crow." Akiza told him.
"Too late! I activate the spell, Death End Merman!" Stoica called.

Lythirus: (ATK: 2200 x 2 = 4400/ORU: 0 - 1)
"And now Lythrius attack!" Stoica called as Lythrius charged in.
Crow called, "I don't think so!"
"What now!?" Stoica asked angered.
"A little something called Camila the Haze's ability! By banishing it during your Battle, I can summon back a Synchro Monster as long as it's banished at the end of the battle!" Crow grinned pulling a card out, "Come back, Nothung!"
Nothung popped up before blasting Stoica. (Stoica: 0300)
"Then, I activate Black Return!" Crow called.

"Useless! Death End Merman makes me unaffected!" Stoica revealed as the blast to shuffle Lythirus is blocked.
"That's still a huge boost." Luna smiled. "Crow has more life points than he started the duel with."
'She's right, and if he draws that card he can win.' Yusei thought calmly.
Lythirus attacked Nothung destroying it as Crow grunted. (Crow: 2750)
"These damn humans are stubborn if nothing else." Gill grunted in frustration.
"Not really, Crow's just annoyingly so." Jack smirked. "He doesn't know how to stay down and never will."
"Well he may survive that but won't be unscratched!" Stoica declared, "By banishing Merfolk your monster's attack points comes out of your Life Points!"
Lythirus attacked with acid bubbles hitting Crow who grunted. (Crow: 0350)
"Maybe, but he survived your turn." Leo pointed out.
"But now he has to watch in case he attacks again." Reks said nervously, "With Black-Winged Dragon back in his Deck he can't attack without getting damaged."
"That's not true, there is one monster Crow can draw that can end this duel." Yusei told him.
Lythirus: (ATK: 4400 / 2 = 2200)
Crow 3rd Turn:
"My turn!" Crow said closing his eyes before dramatically drawing.
Crow looked at the card he drawn.
"Did he draw it?" Akiza asked nervously.
Crow looked before saying, "Time to end this. I summon Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North!"
A white bird appeared.
Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North
Dark Type
Level 2
Winged Beast
ATK: 1300
DEF: 0
Cannot be Special Summoned. When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower "Blackwing" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in Defense Position.
"What good will that weakling do you?" Kazarina questioned.
"It starts by summoning Gale the Whirlwind!" Crow called as Gale appeared in Defense, "And with it's ability Lythirus' strength is halved!"
Gale fired sonar waves at Lythirus. (ATK: 2200 / 2 = 1100/DEF: 1800 / 2 = 900)
"It's not enough." Leo frowned.
"And now Blizzard attack Lythirus!" Crow called as Blizzard charged in.
"Congratulations idiot! You just made yourself the first human to fall!" Stoica grinned as Lythirus called the barrier again. (ORU: 1 - 0)
Crow grinned, "Not this time!"
"What?" Stoica questioned.
"I activate Blackbird Close!" Crow called activating a Counter Trap.
Blackbird Close
Counter Trap Card
When a monster your opponent controls activates its effect: You can send 1 face-up "Blackwing" monster you control to the GY; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it, then you can Special Summon 1 "Black-Winged Dragon" from your Extra Deck. If you control a "Blackwing" Synchro Monster or "Black-Winged Dragon", you can activate this card from your hand.
"With this as your monster is using it's ability by sending Blizzard the Far North to the graveyard, your monster's effect is negated, and destroyed!" Crow called shocking Stoica as he watched Lythirus shattered.
"I-I'm... banished when I leave the field from reviving." Stoica mentioned weakly from shock.
"From his departure comes the reappearance of someone! Can you guess? That's right it's Black-Winged Dragon!" Crow called as his dragon shot out reappearing roaring.
"That dragon again, it can't be!" Stoica cried.
"And now Black-Winged Dragon finish him off! Shadow Squall Blast!" Crow called as Black-Winged Dragon charged an energy as Stoica whimpered in fear only for it to blast him causing him to scream landing hard on the ground.
Crow: 0350
Stoica: 0000
Crow wins the duel!
"Took you long enough." Jack smirked walking up to him. "You alright Crow?"
Crow sighed before turning with a grin, "A bit achey but the training paid off."
"Then I guess it's my turn." Jack smiled. "Just relax pal."
Gill lift Stoica up by his collar looking pissed, "You loser! I gave you a chance to show these humans that Master Dharak is supreme, and you blown it!"
"G-Gillman I-" Stoica tried to say only for Gill to drop him roughly.
"Now we have to clean up your mess." Gill said coldly.
Stoica just looked down silently.
"Know this humans, that was the only victory your getting." Gill told the group with a hateful expression.
"Why don't we put that to the test?" Jack challenged activating his Duel Disk.
"Fine. I'm Master Dharak's second in command, and the most skillful. I'm not some lightweight like Stoica." Gill said preparing himself.
"Let's Duel!" Jack and Gill called together.
Ulrich362: Apologies for the delay, this among some other fics took a bit of time to figure out. Though Crow pulled off the first victory.
bopdog111: And that made Gill super pissed.
Ulrich362: I wonder if Jack can handle him.
bopdog111: He's tough. We will see next time.
Ulrich362: Agreed, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
