Chapter 7: The Rebellion and the Nova
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE WELCOME OUR TWO FINALISTS!"
Kouta walked onto the stage with anger in his eyes, still very upset about Cyrus.
Damian walked onto the stage with sorrow and distress in his eyes, for no reason.
"I remember now..." Damian spoke to Kouta.
"We never finished our duel..." He looked up and his eyes began to glow.
"You'll regret hurting my friend Cyrus... you'll regret messing with me!"
Damian laughed. "What a load of bullshit, you're just angry over the fact that I destroyed your friend."
He gives Kouta a death glare. "You will not win this duel. In fact... this is the card I will absolutely destroy you with." Damian reveals a Blank Card.
"Tch, and I am supposed to be afraid of that?" Kouta replied.
"We will see... let us duel."
The Two duelists faced each other on the field.
"Sir Kooshpali... it is almost ready." A servant of Amuy had reminded the mayor.
"Perfect... Project Y... is officially beginning!"
"DUEL!" Damian and Kouta shouted.
GAME START
DAMIAN: 4000 LP VS KOUTA: 4000 LP
"I go first I draw!" Kouta drew with passion.
"And now I summon Stargazing Mentor!"
STARGAZING MENTOR: LEVEL 4, ATK/DEF: 1500/1000
"Mentor's effect... I can add 1 Galaxy or Photon Spell card from my deck to hand... now I activate New Photon, allowing me to release my Stargazing Mentor... and bring out my Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"
The Photon Dragon roared across the stadium, and inside Amuy's office, a gauge went up.
"Now when I control a Level 8 Light Dragon... Come forth my Photon Sorcerer!"
PHOTON SORCERER: LEVEL 8, ATK/DEF: 1000/2800
"And now... OVERLAY!"
"Dragon of the Universe... Come upon this battlefield and muster your power, Xyz Summon! Galaxy-Eyes Sanctuary Dragon!"
GALAXY-EYES SANCTUARY DRAGON: RANK 8, ATK/DEF: 4000/3000
"I end my turn!"
"What a pity... Draw!"
"I activate the spell card Phantom Regiment, letting me discard a Phantom Knight trap card to add a Phantom Knight Monster!"
"Now, I summon my Phantom Knights of Torn Scales, activating its effect to discard a card to send a phantom knight to my graveyard, and now my Phantom Knights of Sorrowful Rapier!"
"Now I banish my Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak to add Silent Boots, and then I special summon my Silent Boots!"
"Now Overlay... my Torn scales, and Silent Boots!"
"Descend upon this battlefield, and wield your mighty blade of darkness! Xyz Summon Phantom Knights of Desolate Lance!"
PHANTOM KNIGHTS OF DESOLATE LANCE: RANK 3, ATK/DEF: 2100/0
"Desolate Lance's effect, I detach an Xyz Material and I can target 1 Banished Phantom Knights monster and special summon it onto the field as a Level 4 monster, come out Ancient Cloak!"
Kouta observed the plays carefully.
"Bring it out... I DARE YOU!" Kouta demanded.
"Gladly... OVERLAY!"
"Rebellious Dragon, come and muster your dark power! Xyz Summon, My Soul! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"
"Heh, you fell for it idiot my Sanctuary Dragon's effect!"
"LIGHT OF DAY!"
Suddenly, the xyz materials were detached from Dark Rebellion.
"What the hell?!"
"Surprised Huh? Once per turn my Sanctuary Dragon can completely remove the xyz materials of one of my opponents xyz monsters!"
Damian laughed. "You Fool... you just helped me even more!"
"You're bluffing!" Kouta called Damian out.
"Oh really... Rapier's effect, I banish itself and Ancient Cloak... I add THIS CARD!"
"HUH?!" Damian added a card and suddenly it began to glow a pitch-black color.
"Activate, Rank-Up Magic Phantom Blaster Force!"
"DARK REBELLION!"
The Dragon roared and it was surrounded by a veil of darkness.
"In the midst of the shadows... Arise a treacherous dragon that stings its foe with his mighty blade! Feel the beat of your heart as it descends into DARKNESS!"
"XYZ SUMMON!"
"Come, my everlasting soul! Dark Revenger Xyz Dragon!"
DARK REVENGER XYZ DRAGON: RANK 5, ATK/DEF: 3200/2700
"Dark Revenger huh..." Kouta admired the beautiful dragon.
"Dark Revenger, Go Corrupted Lightning!"
All of Revenger's Xyz materials were detached.
"Revenger gains 1000 attack and a second attack!"
"Nani?!" Kouta surprised by such an effect.
"Dark Revenger, strike down Sanctuary Dragon!"
"No way, I discard Photonic Wing of Freedom!"
Sanctuary Dragon and Dark Revenger both clashed into each other.
"Wing of Freedom allows me to select my Dragon to match the attack of one monster I choose!"
The dragons roared and then both were destroyed.
"Tch..." Damian was pissed.
"Sanctuary Dragon's effect, rise up Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"
The dragon of light appeared and roared across the stadium.
"Turn End!" Damian shouted.
Kouta smiled, seeing that Victory could very well be right in front of his eyes.
"I... DRAW!"
A shining silouhette began to bless on Kouta.
"Damian... you are a piece of shit for hurting my friend... but all I want to say now is... Thank You."
"I activate the trap card from my hand... Believe in my Existence!"
"WHAT?!" Damian was horrified
"Cyrus..." Kouta looked up and saw the image of his friend smiling down upon him.
"This trap card can only be activated from the hand and when I do... every single card on the field is sent back to the deck!"
The fields on both sides were completely empty.
"Furthermore..."
"Wait, there is more?!"
"Don't you remember... our first duel..." Kouta grabbed a card and summoned it.
"Galaxy-Eyes Nova Warrior!"
"When summoned by the effect of Believe in my Existence, its original attack becomes 4000!"
"No... NO!" Damian shouted.
"Nova Warrior... lets finish the duel that we started together few months ago!"
"Pathetic..." Another voice was heard from the intercoms
Suddenly the stadium began to shake and also started to collapse.
The audience feared and panicked as they all escaped.
"The hell is going on?!" Kouta wondered.
Suddenly, Amuy appeared on his mayor's chair from above.
"I was expecting more of a future candidate in Project Y to be a better duelist... perhaps I was wrong..."
"No... I just got u-"
Amuy put his finger over his lip.
"Sorry Damian... you are no longer a suitable duelist to take part in this project... with your loss... you have ruined my plans... Now I will destroy both of you!"
INTERRUPTION
DAMIAN AND KOUTA: 4000 LP VS AMUY: 2000 LP
"What the hell, since when did the format just change!" Kouta asked.
"I am the God of this city... I control every ins and outs..."
Amuy showed the video of Damian escaping from the lab few months ago.
"This was DK-TWD's first escape... and his powers were tremendous but not complete..."
"Grr... Nova Warrior, end the Mayor!"
The attack was negated.
"I activate the trap card... Dimensional Treeline... your attacks are nothing."
"Turn End!"
"I draw." Amuy looked at his hand.
"Such a shame that I will just end both of you here and now..."
"I activate the card known as... Time Fluctuation."
"AHHHH!" Damian's head began to hurt like crazy.
He began to have memories or rather future glimpses of events.
"Hi, what's your name?" A tall, short and brown-haired girl asked.
"See the speed of my Wheel and style!" The shorter, blue-haired duelist shouted, riding his D-Wheel across the bridge.
"STOP IT!" Damian shouted.
Amuy laughed evily. "Too bad Damian... you shouldn't have been this bad."
"Now I activate The Dimensional Collision!"
The ground beneath the city began to shake tremendously.
"What the hell is going on?!" Kouta shouted and realized that Cyrus was still up in the infirmary.
"CYRUS!"
"Oh you're precious friend is still getting healed huh... that is too bad..." Amuy remarked as the part of the stadium with the infirmary collapsed.
"NO!" Kouta reached out his arm and saw the building go down into ruins.
"You... SON OF A BITCH!" Kouta was enraged.
Amuy laughed. "With Dimensional Collision, I can bring out... Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon and... Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"
All four Dimension dragons were summoned on the field.
Damian and Kouta looked up at the eyes of the Dragons.
"THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF PROJECT Y, STARTING HERE IN THIS DIMENSION, WE WILL SPREAD OUR RULE ACROSS THE OTHERS AND BECOME THE SINGLE GREATEST ORGANIZATION THAT HAS EXISTED!"
"I, AMUY KOOSHPALI WILL RULE THE XYZ DIMENSION!"
"NOW... I ACTIVATE DIMENSIONAL FUSION!"
A giant rift appeared, sucking all the dimension dragons inside.
"Arise... the my glorious king that once ruled the dimensions... the Emperor of the Multiverse! I bow down to you!"
"Supreme Emperor V-ERA!"
SUPREME EMPEROR V-ERA: LEVEL 12, ATK/DEF: 5000/5000
"V-ERA?!" Both Kouta and Damian shouted, intimidated by the gigantic, majestic, levitating piece of Rock in the sky.
"When V-ERA is summoned by the use of all four dimension dragons... every other card on the field is banished!"
Kouta's Warrior was banished.
"Now V-ERA strike down... KOUTA!"
The giant rock geared its direction toward the young duelist.
"DIE!" Amuy commanded.
Kouta closed his eyes, knowing that he was going to lose all of his life points.
Galaxy-Eyes Nova Warrior!
Kouta opened his eyes to see a memory of himself as a kid, playing with his ace card.
"Nova Warrior... I'm sorry..."
Kouta was brought back to reality, as the rock came closer and closer.
An explosion occurred.
DAMIAN: 4000 LP AND KOUTA: 100 LP VS AMUY: 2000 LP
"NANI, 100 LIFEPOINTS?!" Kouta freaked out.
Damian held up a card in his hand.
"Trap card activate, Did I Reach you?"
Kouta began to tear up, having his ass saved by Cyrus and now Damian.
"Argh... you dirty little traitor!" Amuy shouted. "V-ERA strike down DK-TWD!"
Damian shook his head.
"I was born as a fugitive running from the government... with such tremendous power... Project Y seemed interesting but an organization will never last."
"I won't let you control the lives of people you bastard!" Damian shouted back.
"Very well, but it is too late... V-ERA is already here to kill you."
"No... this will be the end FOR YOU!"
"Trap card activate, Memory Judgment!"
"Come back... Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"
Damian's dragon was reborn.
"And how exactly is this dragon, being only a fourth of V-ERA going to do?" Amuy asked.
"Memory Judgment's effect!"
"... All cards on the field have their effects negated and additionally my Dark Rebellion gains the attack of V-ERA!"
"But V-ERA cannot have its effects negated!"
"Maybe your the bad one here... Memory Judgment bypasses any card effect of the monster!"
"NO!" Amuy shouted.
The Dark Dragon roared and collided with the giant rock.
"Impressive... it is as if... the monster itself forgot how to use its own effect." Kouta remarked.
"Gah!" Amuy yelled in defeat.
DAMIAN: 4000 LP AND KOUTA: 100 LP VS AMUY: 0 LP
GAME OVER
WINNER: DAMIAN AND KOUTA!
The sun was rising, victory was found.
Amuy desperately tried to crawl up but Damian pinned him down with his foot.
"I will end this Project Y nonsense now!" Damian shouted.
Amuy laughed instead. "It is too late... the other dimensions have already begun Project Y... and soon Project Y will dominate the universe..."
"What does that even mean?" Damian asked.
"Hehe... you may think that you have stopped Project Y... but in reality... I was always four parallel universes ahead of you..." Amuy slowly withered away.
"Farewell... and we shall meet again in the future." Amuy disappeared into dust.
"..." Damian stared at the ruins of the stadium.
"Congratulations Kouta." Damian told him.
"F-for what?" Kouta wondered, watching Damian grab something shiny out of the collapsed building.
"You won the tournament no?" Damian handed him the Heartland Invitational Trophy, while the building was broken the trophy was still intact."
"B-But why?" He asked, tearing up at the same time."
"Kouta... this city needs a new leader... and you are a great candidate for that new role. Rebuild this city... and make it the best that you can imagine it to be."
"I'm only a stupid teenager what can I d-"
"LISTEN!" Damian shut him up.
"It doesn't matter if you're old or young... you can make a change for yourself and for others!"
Kouta nodded.
"Where are you going to go Damian?" He asked.
"I... I need to leave Heartland City... and go travel around the world... perhaps a different universe to stop Project Y."
"...Cyrus..." Kouta looked at the remains of the infirmary wing.
"Your friend will be alright... but for now... I must go."
"Damian wait!" Kouta shouted.
"Thank you..."
Damian smiled for the first time in a while. He ran to the abandoned lab where he was created.
When he entered, there was a machine... a machine that allowed anyone to travel between the universes.
"Take me to here... Luminous City!"
Three Years have passed...
Heartland City is in its best condition, a Utopia for a change. Mayor Kouta Yukari pleases the citizens and they all live happily in this peace and prosperity.
Meanwhile in Neo Domino City...
A short duelist with blue-hair and streaks of green rode his D-Wheel across the city.
"See the speed of my Wheel and Style!" He shouted. "Go my clear shining star! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!"
The dragon roared, defeating its opponents.
"Good game!"
Suddenly a rift opened up infront of the turbo-duelist and he found himself riding into it.
"AHH!" He screams, not knowing what the hell was going on.
The turbo duelist fell out of the rift and landed on an island.
"A taller, brown-haired girl saw what had happened and quickly ran to him."
The turbo duelist looked up and saw her.
"Hi, what's your name?" She asked.

THE END
Thank you for reading, Enter the Black Vortex. A short side story that will soon be followed up by the biggest project I am revamping: Yu-Gi-Oh! Ynominas. I know that the last few chapters of Black Vortex have been lacking in quality compared to my other chapters, although they all are mediocre because I suck at writing but regardless I hope you enjoyed this short story and thank you to those who read.
