After an harrowing Duel against Professor Hoji Ushiwaka managed to defeat the enemy and the Seal of Orichalcos Field Spell card.
However Hoji should have lost his soul the power of an ancient demon surfaced, Ushiwaka tried to stop the demon by killing it's host body the demon proved to be powerful, with one motion he opened three portals to send Ushiwaka, Susanoo and Rao to a realm where they now need to face their fears.
3. The End of Fear - Part 1.
The crossroads.
Susanoo stared the demon in it's glowing eyes. 'So Shinigami yeah?' He said, the demon said nothing it simply floated in the exact center of the crossroads. 'Since I have no Spell or Trap cards in my Graveyard I can special summon Superheavy Samurai Big Waraji.'
The ground shook as a mechanical creature crashed down on the field, it had a long, brown body with four tentacle-like arms attached to it on top of the body rested a small head, the creature stood on four, thin, needle-like legs. (800 ATK)
(Susanoo: 8000) - (Shinigami: 8000)
'Now that Waraji is out I shall release Waraji in order to advance summon Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei.'
The weird machine in front of Susanoo disappeared in it's place appeared a man-sized robotic warrior, it's armor resembled that of a traditional samurai it's face was covered by a black mask it's weapon was a staff with two blades at the top. (1000 ATK)
'When Big Benkei is normal or special summoned I can change it into defense mode.' Susanoo explained the robot knelt down on one knee using it's weapon as a makeshift shield. (3500 DEF)
'End turn.'
The reaper still hovering in the middle of the crossroad drew his card.
'I activate the effect of Skull Conductor in my hand, by discarding it I can special up to two monsters from my hand but their attack power must equal two-thousand.' The demon spoke with a ghoulish voice it send chills down Susanoo's spine.
Shinigami showed the card before he discarded it.
'I special summon two Burning Skull Heads.'
A cackling sound echoed over the field followed by two skulls appearing out of a bonfire their eye sockets were filled with eerie purple light, the moment the skulls appeared they caught on fire. (1000 ATK x2)
'When Burning Skull Head is special summoned from my hand it deals thousand points of damage.' The demon spoke, the two skulls appeared before Susanoo they started to circle around him, Susanoo could feel the intense heat on his skin, he didn't even flinch.
(Susanoo: 8000- 6000) - (Shinigami: 8000)
'I release both Burning Skull Heads to advance summon Skull Flame.'
With a cackling laughter the two skulls erupted in flames, out of the fire stepped a demon dressed in black robes with golden decals and a red cape attached to golden shoulder pads, his head was a skull, flames surrounded the demon. (2600 ATK)
'I use the effect of Skull Flame to special summon another Burning Skull Head from my hand.'
With another cackling sound another flaming skull appeared. (800 DEF)
Fire once again erupted around Susanoo.
(Susanoo: 6000- 5000) - (Shinigami: 8000)
'You're cheating.' Susanoo growled the Shinigami chuckled.
'I know you are, getting all the cards you need in your first hand, those chances are small.'
The demon was clearly amused.
'So what if I am?' He replied: 'You're in my realm Susanoo, whatever will you do?'
Susanoo knew the reaper was right there were no authorities here.
'The turn I use the effect of Skull Flame I cannot conduct battle, so I shall set this and end my turn.' A face-down card appeared behind Skull Flame.
'My turn.' Susanoo drew his card.
'I normal summon Superheavy Samurai Flutist.'
A small, lanky robot appeared before Susanoo this one was made out of purple, blocky armor his head resembled a straw hat with a mask, the robot was playing a small flute. (500 ATK)
'I use the effect of Flutist by using it as a tribute I can special summon a Superheavy Samurai from my hand.'
Next to the first Big Benkei appeared a second one. (3500 DEF)
'Superheavy Samurai is allowed to attack from defense mode using it's defense points for damage, so Superheavy Samurai attacks Skull Flame!'
The Shinigami chuckled: 'I activate Dark Spirit of the Silent.'
The Trap card appeared face-up.
'This Trap negates the attack of your monster, then forces a second one to battle, changing it to attack position if it is in defense mode.'
The second Big Benkei stood up. (1000 ATK)
The mechanical warrior grabbed it's weapon then charged forward, a stream of flames fired by Skull Flame made short work of the metal samurai.
(Susanoo: 5000- 3400) - (Shinigami: 8000)
'What do you hope to do? I am the embodiment of death.' The demon spoke he drew a new card.
'Skull Flame attacks Big Benkei.' The demon stated, the skeleton put it's hands together a stream of flames shot out from it's hand.
'I activate Ego Boost!' The Shinigami then said quickly playing his Spell card, flames erupted from the ground they enveloped Skull Flame. (2600- 3600 ATK)
The flames crashed down on Big Benkei obliterating the mechanical samurai.
'My turn is done.' The Shinigami said.
Susanoo remained silent as he drew his card, he felt it deep inside the same thing he had felt that day of the accident.
'I can smell your fear.' The demon said in a taunting tone.
'I'm about to turn the tables.' Susanoo finally spoke.
'I summon the Tuner: Superheavy Samurai Battleball.' A comically robot appeared it had a round body clad in mostly bronze and golden armor, it had comically small arms and legs, it held a spear in one of it's hands that was bigger than itself. (100 ATK)
'A Tuner?' The Shinigami chuckled.
'Yes a Tuner and when I have no Spell or Trap cards in my Graveyard I can send it and one of your monsters to the Graveyard to special summon a monster from my Extra Deck, that is counted as a Synchro Summon.'
The glowing eyes under the hood of the reaper narrowed.
'I send Battleball and Skull Flame to the Graveyard in order to summon Superheavy Samurai Warlord Susanowo!'
With a crash a mechanical warrior landed on the field, it was clad in samurai-like armor mostly green and black, it's face was covered with a black mask, it carried a two-handed sword with one hand, the machine sat down keeping the sword pointed at the demon. (3800 DEF)
'Next I equip Susanowo with Superheavy Samurai Soulhorns.'
A mostly white samurai helmet appeared on the machine's head, it had two gigantic blue horns coming out of the sides and on the underside two hand grenades stuck out.
'Now Susanowo can attack twice per battle.' Susanoo said he then made a sweeping motion with his right arm, Susanowo threw the giant sword like a boomerang, it first crushed the remaining Burning Skull Head before it struck the Shinigami, the sword then returned to Susanowo.
(Susanoo: 3400) - (Shinigami: 8000- 4200)
Susanoo smiled.
'Don't get cocky, that was a lucky hit.' The demon hissed.
'It's not that.' Susanoo replied.
'You claim to be death itself, death isn't a physical creature so it can't be hurt.' Susanoo took a deep breath it took him too long to realize this, damaging his opponent was the key to figuring it out.
'I am the embodiment of death.' The Shinigami hissed.
'Can be, but I can damage you if I can damage you I can beat you, an opponent I can defeat I do not fear.'
'We'll see if you still won't fear me after this. I activate Pot of Extravagance.'
A new pot appeared on the Field one half was made up of Pot of Greed and the other half was Pot of Riches.
'I can Banish three or six random cards from my Extra Deck facedown then I draw a card for every three cards Banished.' The demon explained, six cards appeared before him they disappeared in a ghostly mist then the demon drew two cards.
'This card is the whole reason I keep an Extra Deck.'
The demon then held a card above his head, flames appeared around it.
'I banish Skull Flame from my Graveyard and special summon Supersonic Skull Flame!'
The sound of hooves racing down the crossroads filled the air, then a horse-like creature leaped over the Shinigami and landed on the field, it was the upper body of Skull Flame on top of a horse-like lower body, the creature let out a demonic cry. (2600 ATK)
Rao's house.
'Why don't you give it up ''thing?'' The male voice said in a mocking tone.
'Trash has more worth than you do.' The female voice added, Rao still sat on her knees sobbing, all the abusive things her parents did came back to her, she had left it in the past when Ushiwaka found her and decided to become her brother, but now her parents were here in the grotesque form that stood in font of her.
The mass of flesh held up it's dismembered hand and five cards appeared in it. 'It is time to take out the trash.' The male voice then said referring to Rao.
'Yes and then we'll adopt a real human daughter instead of this trash.' The female voice added.
'Enough.' Rao whispered the creature stopped it's constant moving instead it turned it's head so that the fleshy mask looked directly at Rao. 'You dare to speak to us like that ''thing?'' The male voice asked. 'Should we whip you with the leather belt again?' The female voice added.
Rao crawled back a bit, tears welled up in her eyes then she shook her head and wiped the tears away. 'I can do this, I can overcome you.' She whispered her Duel Disk appeared around her wrist, it was the one Ushiwaka had made for her, it fitted perfectly, she drew her first five cards.
(Mojiretsu: 8000) - (Rao: 8000)
'Fine have it your way trash.' The female voice spoke: 'I activate the Cursed Dollhouse Field Spell!'
Rao felt her body was shrinking, she then realized the entire room was shrinking, then it started to tremble violently she could feel that the room was lifted into the air, one of the walls on the sides disappeared, when Rao looked outside she saw the room had become part of a doll house that floating in the middle of a void.
'Next I will set these three cards.' This was the man talking, one face-down monster card appeared with two face-down Spell or Trap cards behind it.
'I end my turn.' The male voice stated.
Rao looked at the three face-down cards, she had never heard of this Field Spell either slowly she drew her card: 'I summon Chocolate Magician Girl.' Before Rao appeared the blue-haired magical girl appeared before her she looked uneasy with all the dolls around. (1600 ATK)
'I use the effect of Chocolate Magician Girl, by discarding Dark Magician Girl from my hand I can draw a new card.' Rao explained quickly she discarded one card from her hand then drew a new one.
'Next Monster Reborn! I special summon Dark Magician Girl!' In an explosion of petals the most famous magical girl appeared, she gracefully landed on the field and winked at Rao. (2000 ATK)
'So you have chosen a Magician Girl Deck.' The male voice said in a mocking tone: 'Now you can look at ''real'' women, something you will never become!'
Again tears welled up in Rao's eyes then Dark Magician Girl placed her hand on Rao's shoulder she nodded Rao felt a newfound strength well up inside of herself.
'Chocolate Magician Girl attack the face-down monster!' The Magician Girl aimed her staff at the card in place of the card appeared a blond-haired doll she was wearing a cute blue and white dress with heart-shaped buttons she wore a ribbon around her neck, the doll was kneeling down on one leg shielding herself with her arms. (1000 DEF)
Chocolate Magician Girl fired off her attack but the doll survived.
'Alice the Wandering Doll cannot be destroyed by battle, instead you take five-hundred damage and Alice becomes yours.' The female voice explained, Alice stood up and walked over to Rao's side then lightning struck Rao.
(Mojiretsu: 8000) - (Rao: 8000- 7500)
'When my opponent takes control over Alice the Wandering Doll, thanks to Cursed Dollhouse I can special summon one Doll Part monster from my Deck.' The woman explained, purple mist gathered on the field out of the mist rose the head of a female mannequin, the head had long, brown hair and bright blue eyes, several cracks ran over the disembodied head. (0 DEF)
Rao started to tremble, she hated all the dolls in the room she didn't mind Alice since she looked enough like a real human, but this creepy, disembodied head was too much.
'Even this broken mannequin has more worth than you do ''thing.'' The female voice taunted Rao, the moment Rao wanted to sit down and cry she once again felt the hand of Dark Magician Girl on her shoulder, Chocolate Magician Girl placed her hand on Rao's other shoulder.
'I can do this.' She whispered to herself: 'Dark Magician Girl attack the head!' Rao shouted the famous magical girl aimed her staff a blast of darkness seconds later the head exploded in fake hair and pieces of plastic.
'I activate my Trap card: Necro Dollmeister.' The second of the demon's face-down cards opened up: 'When a Doll Part is destroyed by battle I can special summon two more from my Deck.' The male voice explained: 'I special summon Doll Part Gold and Doll Part Red.' First appeared two disembodied arms in front of Mojiretsu, they belonged to a mannequin, the arms were broken on several places, next to the set of arms appeared a set of legs, again from the same mannequin and like the arms there were several holes in them. (0 ATK x2)
'Not much more I can do, I end my turn.' Rao stated.
The disfigured demon drew a card: 'Like I said ''thing'' you are worthless, now sit down hands behind your back, you know how your punishment works.' This was the female voice again.
'I won't.' Rao stammered.
'Fine then I shall punish you some more through our little game. I shall activate Call of the Haunted.' The female spoke, her last face-down card opened up, the doll head reappeared. (0 ATK)
'Now I normal summon Doll Part Pink.' This time the body of the mannequin appeared aside from the holes where the head, arms and legs were supposed to be there was a giant hole in it's side and several cracks all over the body. (0 ATK)
'Now I need Alice on my field, so Doll Part Blue attacks.' The male voice said the head charged forwards giving Alice a headbutt.
(Mojiretsu: 8000- 7000) - (Rao: 7500)
As Alice walked back over to Mojiretsu's side Rao noticed something the left hand of the demon had changed into plastic as was part of it's right arm, as Alice reached the demon's side it was struck by lightning, part of it's chest turned into plastic.
(Mojiretsu: 7000- 6500) - (Rao: 7500)
'Time to move to Main Phase two.' The female spoke: 'Now that I control Alice I can activate Marionette Burial, I send Doll Part Red, Doll Part Blue, Doll Part Gold and Doll Part Pink to my Graveyard and I special summon Doll Chimera from my Deck!' The man's voice roared, the Doll Parts on the field started to combine into the full mannequin but something was off, it stood on both hands and feet, the arms and legs were spread out giving the doll a spider-like appearance, her stomach faced upwards but the head was upside down. (0- 1600 ATK)
Rao felt her gag reflex going off, she hated dolls, especially the porcelain ones with their huge eyes, the worst for her were mannequins, as long as they stood in a clothes store dressed up she could handle it as long as she quickly passed them, as punishment her parents often locked her in her room with the window locked down as well and they threw a bunch of dolls in there, they would leave her there for hours often playing loud music to suppress her screams.
The house she grew up in was a detached house her parents were quite rich so they chose the luxury of having no neighbors.
Rao shivered she looked away the eyes of the demon seemed to pierce her soul.
The eight year old Rao stood outside in an alleyway it was raining hard, she was soaked.
The young girl was trembling she looked at her hands, her left hand was swollen the rope marks were visible on her wrist, her right hand was bloody the belt had done some real damage this time, her tears got washed away by the rain, quickly she found some piece of wood overhanging from a rooftop she sat down under it her right hand wrapped in her pink summer dress she supported her right hand with her left hand for the rest she only wore white socks.
She had spilled some water on the floor reasons enough to make her parents angry her father tied one hand to the pipe of the heater her mother held the other one while her father relentlessly beat it.
Of course she would be kept home from school, sick once again, the school never did anything, her parents were the kind of people with power the board of her school would be foolish to go against them.
Carefully she removed the dress to look at her hand the bleeding had stopped then she heard footsteps she tried to hide in the shadows then a man quickly passed the alleyway he was soaked and in a hurry as he payed no mind to the little girl.
Rao was lucky she managed to escape, in the mids of the punishment the bell rung, her father had to quickly cut her lose and locked her in her room, in the hurry he forgot to lock the window, she managed to climb out wearing only her dress and socks from that moment on she was running she was sure her parents were looking.
People in her parent's circle were told that Rao was a problematic child always running away always throwing tantrums and often hurting herself, if she came across one of her family members or her parent's friend they would take her and call her parents.
Rao planned to wait in the alleyway until it was dark less chance of people finding her, she didn't know where to go.
Suddenly an umbrella moved over her head Rao was startled.
'No need to worry.' A calm and soothing voice spoke, Rao looked up only to see a sixteen-year old Ushiwaka, she was so deep in thoughts that she didn't hear him approaching.
Quickly the boy sat down next to her he put the umbrella between some planks of the fence she was sitting against, Ushiwaka removed his coat and gently placed it around Rao she curled up into a ball, immediately she started sobbing.
'My name is Ushiwaka.' The young man said Rao couldn't say anything.
'Rope marks around your wrist, show me your other hand.' He kindly said Rao didn't object she showed her hand.
Ushiwaka softly took it he pinched in her fingers.
'Does this hurt?' He asked, Rao shook her head.
'It's bruised luckily not broken.' Gently he took her other hand he moved it around a bit Rao showed some pain on her face but she didn't say anything.
'Slightly bruised few days of rest and it should be better.'
Rao covered her hands again.
'From what I can see you ran away from where you live, you don't need to tell me anything just nod if I'm right.' Ushiwaka said, Rao nodded.
'Your wounds tell me abuse.' Ushiwaka said Rao nodded again.
'Parents?' Ushiwaka asked this time Rao started to sob Ushiwaka carefully pulled her against him to comfort her.
The two sat there for a couple of minutes the rain slowed down.
'Rao.' She finally said to brake the silence.
'Thank you for telling me your name Rao.' Ushiwaka replied.
'So any family I can bring you to?' He asked Rao shook her head, then the roar of a car engine sounded seconds later a black, luxurious car pulled up, the door opened and Rao's parents stepped out.
'Rao!' Her mother shouted with a kind voice.
'There you are! We were worried sick.' Her father added then they saw Ushiwaka.
'Young man, thank you for looking after our daughter, she is sick she often runs off without reason, we'll take her over from you now.'
'I don't think so.' Ushiwaka replied.
'What?' Her father hissed clearly angry.
'I know you.' Ushiwaka replied: 'Seen you on television, up and coming prime minister.' Ushiwaka slowly stood up he used his body to block Rao's parents.
'You think you can rule a country if you mistreat your daughter?'
Rao's father sighted: 'What did she tell you? Our daughter is sick she tells people things that aren't true, she runs off, falls, bruises her hand a bit then tells other people I hit her.'
Ushiwaka shook his head: 'Rope marks from falling? And the marks on her hands from a beating with a belt? That also an accident?'
Rao's father took a deep breath.
'Look.' He said: 'She is our kid, she's sick and we want her back. Now.' He sounded calm but threatening.
'I'm going to the authorities and I'll take her with me.' Ushiwaka replied.
Suddenly the man smiled.
'So you think that solves anything?' He asked his voice now cold.
'Half of the authorities here are on my payroll, the other half doesn't dare to raise a finger.'
Ushiwaka saw a purple mist around the man his eyes were glowing yellow, from out of the tips of his fingers came thin wires they were connected to his wife who now looked like a puppet, more wires tried to reach out to Rao.
'So you show your true colors.' Ushiwaka said to himself, a normal person would be freaked out by what Ushiwaka saw but not him.
'What did you say boy?' The father demanded.
'I see you for what you are, a puppeteer, you think you can control people use them as your puppets you see your wife as your loyal puppet, Rao as well yet she doesn't listen, you see her as broken cause she doesn't do as you say.'
'You dare to repeat that.' The man hissed.
'You think Rao is broken, something that's broken you try to fix by hitting.'
Ushiwaka shook his head: 'Your vision is distorted.'
Rao's father first looked at Ushiwaka then he started to laugh it sounded hollow.
'So a kid dares to say this to me?'
Ushiwaka ignored the man he gently grabbed Rao's arm.
'Let us through.' He demanded the father stopped laughing.
'Let us through.' Ushiwaka demanded again.
Slowly the parents turned back to normal again except for the man's eyes.
'So you think you know how the world works?' He asked.
'As a concerned civilian I will take your daughter for now, I will bring her to a hospital then I will inform the authorities, they will sort it out, as long as that investigation goes on Rao will not be living with you, if it turns out I'm wrong I shall apologize and pay the price.'
The eyes of the man turned normal again, he moved aside to let Ushiwaka and Rao through.
'You think you can get away with this? For now yes, but I make a powerful enemy.' He threatened as Ushiwaka walked by.
Rao looked at the demon, after Ushiwaka had found her it took a month for the authorities to sort things out her parents were found guilty and they got deported from parental control for Rao and any future children, since all family were close to the parents it was decided that Rao were to be placed in an orphanage Ushiwaka had objected to that, Rao could live with him and his parents, the authorities agreed after Ushiwaka's parents had agreed, since they lived far away it was decided that for that time being Rao could stay with Ushiwaka on the Duel Academy and so Rao had lived there and with Ushiwaka at his home during the holidays.
Ushiwaka's house.
Ushiwaka stared at the demon in front of him, the hulking mass of white flesh with a blank slate for a face breathed heavily.
'Everyone fears something you say?' Ushiwaka spoke a smug look on his face.
The creature stopped his heavy breathing for a brief second it took the shape of one of Ushiwaka's old teachers, then it quickly changed to his D-Wheel instructor, then one of his old neighbors followed by Rao's father finally it changed back to it's hideous form.
'Impossible.' It hissed.
'Fear is relative, if placed in perspective you can see there is nothing to be afraid of, all the forms you showed, people that once frightened me learning they were afraid themselves made them what they are, human and I don't fear humans.'
The demon started laugh slowly it changed back into the mirrored version of Ushiwaka then his Duel Disk activated Ushiwaka did the same.
'I can see your fears Ushiwaka, you suppressed it but you fear failure, the teacher was you afraid of failing your tests, the instructor failing your D-Wheel exams, the neighbor afraid to mess things up while he was on vacation and asked you to look after his house and finally Rao's father, no fear of the man himself but the fear of failing Rao and losing her to him.'
Ushiwaka drew back he had suppressed these feelings in his daily life it was no longer a problem he could suppress his fears but now he had a constant reminder of them.
'Duel.' The demon spoke.
(Kagami: 8000) - (Ushiwaka: 8000)
'I shall start this Duel off with the Field Spell: Field of Mirrors!' Kagami the mirror demon spoke his Duel Disk glowed for a brief second a circle of giant mirrors appeared around both Duelists then five more appeared before Kagami where the Spell or Trap cards would normally appear finally an even bigger mirror appeared in the center of the field.
'I end my turn.'
Ushiwaka carefully drew his card. 'Only a Field Spell I've never heard of and no Monsters. Need to be careful here.'
'I shall start by summoning Marauding Captain.' Ushiwaka stated in front of him appeared one of the oldest Warrior monsters the game had. (1200 ATK)
The glass of one of the mirrors cracked and a mirror version of Marauding Captain stepped out, he wore full black armor, he had black rings around his eyes, his face battle worn. (1200 ATK)
'I use the effect of Marauding Captain to special summon a second one.' Ushiwaka stated and an identical copy of the first Captain appeared, then a second mirror version appeared on Kagami's side. (1200 ATK x2)
'Since the mirror version have the same effect as the real ones I cannot attack, so I shall set this card instead and end my turn.' Ushiwaka said a face-down card appeared behind one of the Captains.
'My turn.' The demon spoke as he drew his card.
'I release one of the Mirror Marauding Captains to advance summon Mirror's Crusher.'
Two giant claws grabbed Mirror Marauding Captain then the half crocodile half snake hybrid crawled out of the mirror. (2400 ATK)
'Mirror's Crusher's effect activate, when summoned I can target and destroy one monster my opponent controls.' Slowly Kagami pointed at Marauding Captain.
'In that case I activate Battleguard Howling, since Marauding Captain is the target for a monster effect I can now target your Mirror's Crusher, deal damage to you equal to it's original attack points and then return it to hand.'
Marauding Captain violently exploded the Mirror's Crusher slowly faded away then it's soul flew through the demon.
(Kagami: 8000- 5600) - (Ushiwaka: 8000)
'A Mirror monster that was not made by a card effect just left my field, which allows me to activate Mirrored Destruction.' The fake Ushiwaka spoke, a Quick-Play Spell card appeared on his field.
'Now I control a Mirror Monster and you control the original which means the original is destroyed.'
Ushiwaka gasped as his second Marauding Captain also exploded.
'Mirror Marauding Captain attack directly!' Kagami commanded his warrior drew both swords he leaped forward striking Ushiwaka across his chest, Ushiwaka staggered backwards, the attack id really hurt.
(Kagami: 5600) - (Ushiwaka: 8000- 6800)
'A minor scrape.' Ushiwaka said as he drew his card.
'I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight!'
Before him appeared the knight clad in heavy, black armor.
The same monster appeared on the side of Kagami only the armor had more sharp edges and horns on the elbows and helmet. (1800 ATK x2)
'I activate Release Restraint! Gearfried shed the restraint of your armor and become Gearfried the Swordmaster!'
Cracks appeared all over the knight's armor, slowly pieces started to break off finally a bright light shot out from the armor vaporizing it what was left was a muscular warrior with long, black hair he wore only boots, a loincloth and bandages wrapped around his wrists he held a sword in both hands. (2600 ATK)
A mirror version of the warrior appeared his skin dark, bat-like wings growing out of his back and demon horns on his head. (2600 ATK)
'Now Kagami I equip Gearfried the Swordmaster with Lightning Blade!'
Sparks of electricity appeared around the sword Gearfried held the warrior laughed as he got stronger. (2600- 3400 ATK)
'Since Gearfried the Swordmaster got equipped with an Equip Spell I can now destroy one monster on the field.' Ushiwaka explained cracks appeared in Mirror Gearfried the Iron Knight and the creature exploded in shards of glass and smoke.
'Now attack Mirror Marauding Captain!' Ushiwaka bellowed the warrior held his sword in the sky, lightning struck the blade then he pointed it at the enemy, Mirror Marauding Captain exploded in a violent storm of electricity.
(Kagami: 5600- 3400) - (Ushiwaka: 6800)
'Your struggle continues to amuse me.' Kagami spoke quickly he drew his card.
'I shall activate the Spell card: Mirror Plasma.'
The glass in the four remaining mirrors became liquid as they slowly formed into four blobs. (0 DEF x4)
'Now I release one of the Tokens to advance summon Warlock of the Mirror!'
One of the liquid creatures formed into the black-haired woman dressed in white. (2000 ATK)
'I use the effect of Warlock of the mirror, by removing the counter from Field of Mirrors I can deal thousand damage to the opponent!'
The woman aimed her mirror at Ushiwaka, the mist in the big mirror in the middle disappeared then a beam of light shot through Ushiwaka's chest.
(Kagami: 3400) - (Ushiwaka: 6800- 5800)
'I shall set one card and end my turn.' Kagami stated as the card materialized behind Warlock of the Mirror.
'Draw.' Ushiwaka stated as he drew his card.
'Gearfried the Swordmaster attacks Mirror Gearfried the Swordmaster!'
Ushiwaka's Swordmaster held his sword in the air.
'You attack my Mirror monster, that means I can activate Mirror's Ghost which deals five-hundred damage and negates the battle.' Kagami said, a mirror appeared in front of Mirror Gearfried the Swordmaster, the attack of the Swordmaster got reflected back at Ushiwaka who staggered backwards a bit.
(Kagami: 3400) - (Ushiwaka: 5800- 5300)
'Now you're done for.' The fake Ushiwaka said.
'The effect of Mirror Plasma activates, I must pay half my Life Points or destroy Field of Mirrors.'
Kagami spread his arms as the mirrors crumbled around him his Mirror monsters all crumbled with the mirrors, then a battle-cry shook the area the gigantic form of Dark Master of the Mirror stepped onto the field he swung his double bladed axe around like it weighted nothing. (0- 5000 ATK)
(Kagami: 3400- 900) - (Ushiwaka: 5300)
Ushiwaka looked at the behemoth of a monster, he now knew what fear really felt like.
Next time:
While Hoji prepares his next move Ushiwaka, Rao and Susanoo are in trouble against the demons that represent their fears.
