Hello, everyone! This is a new chapter! Chapter 76! I hope everyone will enjoy it and without further ado, let's start!
Normal POV
Wind picked up around them as Naoki and Misaki came running.
" Aichi!"
That was the last thing Aichi heard as their surroundings turned into a black space.
" W-What is this?!" Aichi exclaimed
" I ride Micro-hole Dracokid."
" I-I ride Barcgal! ... Link Joker..." Aichi exclaimed
" Yeah, this is Link Joker. Seeing his memories, I'm pretty sure this will be the first time you're battling against my kind of deck. So look forward to it." 'Kai' said
" ... I just have one question... You're Void, right? The one from that other world..." Aichi said
" Of course, the one and only. You go first, Aichi. I would love to see how much you'll struggle and then despair when I defeat you with this body." Void said
" I won't lose!" Aichi exclaimed
Outside the space, Naoki and Misaki looked around after Aichi and Void had disappeared as they noticed the Estraneo Family members still trapped inside the cage.
" Hey! What in the world happened?!" Naoki exclaimed
" Who knows! That black mist suddenly appeared and possessed that brown haired guy!" Rath exclaimed
" Black mist?!"
" Just what is going on here?!" Misaki exclaimed
A static noise was heard as Misaki looked around and found the pouch Kai had dropped after trying to fight Void's control. She picked it up and the orb fell out after she poured it out.
" Hey! Anyone there?!" A static voice called
Naoki went over to her as they looked at each other in confusion.
" I'm asking a question here! I know someone picked it up!" The static voice exclaimed
" W-What do you want?!" Naoki exclaimed
" That voice... Where's the owner of this orb?! This is Toshiki Kai's!" The static voice exclaimed
" Kai acted strangely and he disappeared with Aichi." Misaki responded
" How strangely?" The static voice ask
" There was a weird black mist around him and his eyes turned red. When we arrived, they just started a fight and disappeared." Misaki explained
" What?! You're sure?!" The static voice exclaimed
" Yeah."
" This is bad... We didn't expect it to cling on... Alright, listen carefully. You guys are facing a dangerous enemy here. This enemy finds a vessel to possess and it has now taken over Toshiki Kai. If they're in a fight right now, you guys have to be careful. If Aichi Sendou loses, he'll become Reversed." The static voice warned
" Reversed?"
" It's almost the same concept as a PSYqualia Zombie but it enhances the infected fighter so that they can become stronger than before, so be careful." The static voice said
" What?!"
Meanwhile, Einella looked over to the direction where Miyaji High was as she narrowed her eyes. She had defeated the army at Hitsue High and Miwa sighed in relief when he noticed her expression.
" Something wrong?" Miwa ask
" I'm sensing a really dark power coming from Miyaji High's direction." Einella replied
" Huh?! Then..."
Tasuku started wailing as Einella patted him and looked over to the direction again.
" ... Protect your school. I'm going." Einella said
" Got it."
Einella flew up and went towards Miyaji High's direction.
In the space, Aichi drew his card and rode his grade 1.
" I ride Blaster Dagger! With Barcgal's skill, I draw one card. Turn end." Aichi declared
" Draw. I ride Star-vader, Craving Claw. I draw another card with Micro-hole Dracokid's skill and since I went second, I get a Quick Shield. I attack your Vanguard." Void declared
" No guard!"
" Drive check. I got a critical trigger. I give the power and critical to my Vanguard." Void declared
The two damage fell into Aichi's Damage Zone as he gritted his teeth.
" Craving Claw's skill. Once the attack hits a Vanguard, I look at the top five cards of my deck and add a Star-vader card into my hand." Void declared as he looked at the top five cards of the deck and picked out a card, " Star-vader, Chaos Breaker. I add him into my hand and shuffle my deck. Turn end."
" Draw! I ride Blaster Dark! Blaster Dark's skill! If you have no rear-guards, I drop one card from my hand and gain Twin Drive! I call Blaster Javelin! Blaster Dark attacks your Vanguard!" Aichi declared
" No guard."
" Twin drive check! First check! Second check! Draw trigger! I give the power to Blaster Javelin and draw one card!" Aichi declared
Void took the damage but revealed no trigger.
" Blaster Javelin attacks!" Aichi declared
" I guard with Asteroid Wolf." Void declared
" Turn end."
" Stand and draw. I ride Bisection Star-vader, Zicronium. Skill activated. When he's placed and I have a 'Star-vader' Vanguard, I can use a Counterblast to let you look at the top card of your deck and lock it on a open rear-guard circle." Void declared
" Lock?!"
" Go on. Look at that card." Void said
Aichi's sweat dripped as he looked at the top card of his deck. It was Starcall Trumpeter. He placed it face down behind his Vanguard as Void chuckled.
" Since you placed it at the back row, I draw a card and get +10000 power. I call Craving Claw and Swift Deletor, Geali. Geali's skill. When it's placed and I have more rear-guards than my opponent, he gains +4000 power. Geali attacks your Vanguard." Void declared
" I guard with Margal!"
" I attack with my Vanguard, boosted by Craving Claw." Void declared
" No guard..."
" Drive trigger check. No trigger." Void declared
" Damage check. No trigger..." Aichi declared
" I activate Craving Claw's skill. Since his boosted attack hits, I can check the top five cards of my deck for another 'Star-vader' card. There's none this time. Turn end." Void declared, shuffling his deck
" Stand and draw..."
Aichi winced as he held his right hand. His corrupted ring was now leaking out a weird black and red aura that's trying to take over his body and mind.
" You know you shouldn't resist it. That power will make you stronger than ever before. You can just join me and end this useless fight that you'll never win." Void said
" I... won't! I know Kai-kun's still in there! I'm going to defeat you and free him!" Aichi exclaimed
" The more damage you take, the more painful that's going to become. But if you insist, then I'm not stopping you." Void said
" For Tasuku-kun's sake... I have to save Kai-kun and go back home with him happily... So I can't lose!" Aichi thought
Aichi drew the card from his deck and picked out a card from his hand.
" I ride Majesty Lord Blaster! Imaginary Gift: Force I!" Aichi declared as he placed the marker below Majesty, " I call Blaster Blade and Wingal Brave! I move Blaster Javelin back and call Blaster Dark! Blaster Dark's skill! I retire Geali! Blaster Blade attacks with a boost from Wingal Brave!"
" No guard."
" I activate Wingal Brave's skill! I look at the top seven cards of my deck and add a 'Blaster' card into my hand. I add Blaster Dagger to my hand. Majesty Lord Blaster attacks! I activate his skill! I put Blaster Blade and Wingal Brave into the soul and give two Imaginary Gift: Force I to Blaster Dark! With Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark in the Soul, Majesty Lord Blaster gains +1 critical, +5000 power and an extra drive at all times!" Aichi declared
" I guard with Lady Healer of the Torn World and Manipulator of the Void." Void declared
" Triple drive check! First check! Critical trigger! I give all effects to Majesty Lord Blaster! Second check! Critical trigger! I give all effects to Majesty Lord Blaster!" Aichi declared
" You believe in your deck that much? Don't forget. With this body, I also have PSYqualia. Your image of victory might become a null." Void said
" But I won't give up! Third check!" Aichi declared as he flipped the top card and his eyes widened, " ... When Light and Darkness Intersects... An Order card."
" See?"
" B-Blaster Dark attacks with a boost from Blaster Javelin! Javelin's skill! +2000 power!" Aichi declared
" No guard."
Void took the damage and revealed no trigger.
" ... Turn end... Starcall Trumpeter is unlocked..." Aichi declared
" You were too desperate. This is why you'll lose to me. But don't worry, after you become Reversed, I'll make sure to treat you well and of course, to that baby of yours as well." Void said
" Leave Tasuku-kun out of this!" Aichi gasped
" Why should I? He is ours in the first place. And whatever belongs to 'us', belongs to me." Void said
" No! Anything other than him!" Aichi exclaimed
" Stand and draw. Roar that shatters both good and evil. Fangs that cut through light and darkness. Absolute dragon, everything grovels before you. I ride Star-vader, Chaos Breaker Dragon. He doesn't have an Imaginary Gift. This absolute dragon will not receive Cray's blessing. Instead... I use a Counterblast and lock Blaster Dark. You can get another Force marker though." Void declared as Aichi flipped Blaster Dark face down and added a Force marker on his empty front right rear-guard circle, " I call Zicronium. I use his skill. Counterblast. Now, look at the top card of your deck and lock it."
Aichi looked at the top card of his deck and gasped silently, it was Elaine, a heal trigger. He placed it at the back row.
" I draw a card and Zicronium gets +10000 power. If you have a locked card, Zicronium gives my Vanguard an extra critical. Chaos Breaker's skill. If you have a locked card, he gains +10000 power during my turn. I call Geali and Manipulator of the Void. Geali's skill. He gains +4000 power. Zicronium attacks your Vanguard." Void declared
" I guard with Margal!"
" Chaos Breaker Dragon attacks with a boost from Craving Claw." Void declared
" I guard with Iseult! Perfect guard!" Aichi declared
" Twin drive check. First check. Second check. Draw trigger. I give the power to Geali and draw. Geali attacks." Void declared
" No guard..."
Aichi checked for a trigger but none came up. The card was placed in his Damage Zone as he winced after feeling the dark power becoming stronger.
" Geali's skill. Soulblast. I bind Starcall Trumpeter. Turn end." Void declared
" ... Stand and draw... I call Blaster Blade and use the Order card to search for Blaster Dark and call him behind my Vanguard... With Blaster Dark's skill, I retire Geali... I also use Blaster Blade's skill to retire Zirconium... Majesty Lord Blaster attacks!" Aichi declared
" Flowers in Vacuum, Cosmo Wreath. Perfect guard." Void declared
" Triple drive check... First check... Second check... Third check... No trigger..." Aichi declared as he winced again, " Turn end... My units are unlocked..."
" Chaos Breaker Dragon's skill. Soulblast one card. I retire your unlocked Blaster Dark, draw a card and you remove two of your gift markers." Void declared
Aichi gasped as he hesitantly took away the markers that were on Blaster Dark after retiring him.
" With that, I gain two Force markers." Void declared as he placed one marker below Chaos Breaker and another on his left front rear-guard circle, " I'll use the Soulblast again. I retire Elaine, draw a card and you remove another two gift markers again."
Aichi removed a gift marker from Majesty and the empty right front rear-guard circle. Void took another two gift markers and placed both on his empty right front rear-guard circle.
" I call Zirconium and Blast Monk of the Thundering Foot. Zirconium's Counterblast. You know what to do." Void said
Aichi gritted his teeth as he looked at the top card of his deck and placed it on the front right rear-guard circle face down.
" I guess Zirconium won't get the power this time. But it doesn't matter. With a boost from Craving Claw, Chaos Breaker Drsgon attacks." Void declared
Aichi looked at the rest of the cards in his hand and he lowered them on the table as tears started to sting in his eyes.
" ... No guard..."
" I'm sorry, Kai-kun... Tasuku-kun... Everyone... I..." Aichi thought
" Looks like you've resigned to your fate. Twin drive check. First check. I got a critical trigger. I give the power to Zirconium and the critical to Chaos Breaker. Second check. Critical trigger. I give the power to Blast Monk and the critical to Chaos Breaker." Void declared
The attack hit his Vanguard as Aichi slowly reached his hand out to his deck and flipped over the first card. Wingal Brave. No trigger. He then flipped the second card... Starcall Trumpeter. No trigger. He shut his eyes as the two cards were placed in his Damage Zone and Void chuckled.
" I told you. You can't beat me." Void said
Black and red mist piled up in front of Aichi and crashed onto him as he screamed in pain. Void walked over to him and looked at the locked card that was placed from his deck. Yggdrasil Maiden, Elaine. A heal trigger.
" I see. Looks like your deck has forsaken you as well. That's fine with me. From now on, you'll gain a new power and a new card. You're going to become stronger than ever before." Void said as he chuckled before letting out a laugh, " Now, Aichi! Become Reversed and give yourself to me!"
Aichi screamed again as the aura started to take over him.
Meanwhile, Naoki and Misaki were still trying to talk to the static voice when the space where Aichi and Void disappeared started to distort.
" What is it?!" Naoki exclaimed
Soon, it turned back to normal. Void was standing with his back facing them as he carried Aichi in his arms, the aura still leaking around him.
" Aichi!"
" Hey, you!" Naoki shouted
" Hm?" Void muttered as he turned towards them, " Oh, it's you guys."
" What did you do to him?!" Naoki exclaimed
" Nothing much. I merely won against him and Reversed him. He was supposed to be in the first place when I possessed this body." Void said
" You...!"
Void then sensed something and smirked.
" Well now, I was about to go and look for them but it looks like they'll be coming to me instead." Void said
A gust of wind blew past them as Void used a cloud to block Einella's sword.
" I was about to look for you." Void said
" Let him go." Einella said
" No. Once he awakens, he would become a stronger human. I wouldn't want to let that opportunity pass, especially since he's so fond of this human I possessed." Void said, setting Aichi down on a cloud
" Last warning. I'm not going to ask again." Einella warned
" And what can you do? You barely know what I even am." Void said
" Yeah, I don't know what you are, but what I do know is that you're evil. That dark power spilling out of you proves my point." Einella said
" I see. But too bad, I don't plan on staying for long. I have somewhere to be with him." Void said as Tasuku was now in his hands, " So we shall take our leave now."
Einella gasped as she looked at the now empty carrier tied around her.
" You!"
" We'll be taking our leave now. If you guys really do want to try and save them, then wait for my invitation." Void said
Tasuku wailed as Void went on the cloud with Aichi on it.
" Wait right there!" Einella exclaimed
Void then turned to them as he sent out a wave of black mist to cloud their vision. Once they opened their eyes again, they were gone.
" Damn it!" Naoki growled
Meanwhile, Void was on the cloud as he looked at the wailing Tasuku in his arms and tried to calm him.
" Now, now. This is still your father's body, don't be so upset. Once your mother wakes up, he won't be happy that you're rejecting me." Void said
Tasuku continued to wail as Void smirked and set him down on Aichi's chest. Tasuku slowly calmed down after being near Aichi. Aichi, on the other hand, was still surrounded by the aura that was yet to be absorbed into his body as Void checked on him.
" Looks like he couldn't find the will to reject it anymore. Once Reverse settles inside him, he'll become the strongest human to ever set foot on this planet." Void thought
The cloud slowly descended as they arrived at their destination, the Shimon Island. Void, using Kai's memories, searched the area for the secret cave and landed on the ground. He looked at the rock before tapping the ring on it. The entrance slowly opened as Void and the cloud, with Aichi and Tasuku on it, moved inside. He looked up at the castle and smirked again.
" From now on, this will be our new home. This whole island will become ours as well. Now then, I should probably start somewhere first." Void muttered
He walked into the castle and found a throne room. He then walked up the steps to the throne and settled Aichi on the smaller throne beside the taller throne after carrying Tasuku off from him. Void then sat down on the taller throne and closed his eyes. Their rings glowed omniously as the power poured out of the castle and engulfed the entire island.
" Interesting... This island has something to it. It was worth coming here. I should send the invitations soon and let some old friends here too. I'll have to borrow a bit of your power though." Void said as he looked over to the unconscious Aichi and the Dimension Sword on his waist, " We'll hold a fun party as a celebration to our union. Right, Aichi?"
Void broke out into a sinister laugh afterwards.
