Chapter 5: A Nightmare Reality! Rensho Attacks Michael And Xyro's Reveal!
Michael – "And that's that."
Michael had just soundly beaten the Knight of Hanoi after destroying him with back-to-back OTK's. Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind him.
? – "Well, well, well. Seems like you still find a way to pull a win out of nowhere."
Michael froze. He then slowly turned to see the face, and instantly grew a look of disgust on his own.
Michael – "What do you want…? Rensho."
Rensho – "Oh nothing. Just Your Complete Destruction!"
Rensho summoned the five god dragons behind him.
Michael – "Oh no…"
Rensho – "Appear! The circuit that leads to never-ending destruction!"
Leo – "That bastard can actually link summon?!"
Rensho – "My five god dragons! Merge your powers together, and become a force that destroys everything placed in front of you! Link Summon! Appear, Link 5! Perfectron Hydradrive God Dragon!"
Red-Eyes – "Perfectron Hydradrive…"
Michael – "…God Dragon."
Ai – "Great… I thought we had enough of them after defeating Bohman so long ago."
Playmaker – "Agreed."
Rensho – "Perfectron Hydradrive God Dragon! Kill Red-Eyes!"
Perfectron Hydradrive God Dragon fired at beam attack at Red-Eyes.
(Insert Music: Yu-Gi-Oh OST – Bond of Friendship)
Suddenly, Red-Eyes watched in pure horror as Michael pushed her out of the way and handed Mimi to her at the same time. Michael gave a small smile as he turned to face the oncoming attack. The blast hit Michael square on, catching him in the center of the explosion. The smoke cleared, showing his body covered in numerous scratches and bruises, along with most of his D-Wheel being completely destroyed. However, he continued glaring at Rensho.
Rensho – "Again."
Perfectron Hydradrive God Dragon attacked a second time. Michael's body was now even more damaged than it was before. Everyone else watched in stunned silence at Michael's display of pure will to stand up to Rensho.
Rensho – "So you're still alive it seems."
Michael – "I refuse…"
Rensho – "Hmm?"
Michael – "I Refuse To Let A Low Life Snake Like You Win!"
Rensho – "Says the boy that can barely stay conscious right now."
Michael – "Shut It! You've Nearly Taken Everything Away From Me And Red-Eyes! Our Lives! Our Families! Our Homes! Everything!"
Rensho – "Of course. And the best part? I Get To Watch You Both Suffer In Despair And Agony! Perfectron Hydradrive God Dragon! Finish This Brat Off For Good!"
Perfectron Hydradrive God Dragon fired a third blast. As the attack hit him, everything went black.
(Music Ends)
-A Few Hours Later-
Michael slowly opened his eyes. He then slowly sat up and took in his surroundings.
Michael – "My head… what happened…?"
He suddenly remembered what Rensho did to him.
Michael – "Rensho! I swear, the next time I see your face, I'm probably gonna bust a vein!"
The door suddenly opened and in walked a tall woman with red hair. This was Fonda Fontaine. She's known as the female head of the Obelisk Blue Dormitory, along with being Duel Academy's gym teacher and head nurse. Fonda spots Michael sitting up in bed.
Fonda – "Ah, Michael. You're finally awake."
She then suddenly wacked Michael over the head.
Fonda – "That's for making the girls worry! Especially Red-Eyes!"
Michael kept his head down. Fonda saw that Michael was completely blaming himself for the girl's mental distress.
Michael – "I'm pathetic…"
Fonda saw the hurt in Michael's eyes and was now feeling guilty for hitting him.
Fonda – "You want me to bring the others in?"
Michael – "If you want to."
Fonda walked over to the door and said that they could come in. In walked Alexis Rhodes, one of Michael's girlfriends, along with the rest of their little group, which included Akiza Izinski, Sherry Leblanc, and Kari Tsukumo. They were also joined by Skye Zaizen, Blue Maiden's real world self. They five of them were soon by Michael's bedside.
Alexis – "You okay Michael?"
Michael was still staring down at the bed as Alexis asked her question. He then took a deep breath and looked at his future wives.
Michael – "If you girls want to hit me for being an idiot, then just go ahead and do it already."
The girls were completely floored at hearing those words come out of Michael's mouth.
Akiza – "Are you crazy?! We're only angry at you for making Red-Eyes grieve."
The girls quickly changed their attitudes at seeing Michael's downcast eyes.
Sherry – "We're sorry Michael. We just don't like seeing you and Red-Eyes like this."
Michael – "You're right. Red-Eyes and I made a promise to get stronger and defeat Rensho. Me moping around isn't helping anyone."
Mimi – "That's the spirit Michael!"
Mimi appeared outside of her duel disk, along with Astralette, Crimson, Yulia, Yuta, Yuga, and Yura. All twelve women then quickly hugged Michael.
Astralette – "We're all here for you Michael."
Michael gave a quick, small smile.
Michael – "Thank you girls."
He then realized someone was missing.
Michael – "By the way. Where's Red-Eyes?"
The girls froze.
Akiza – "She's… Still grieving."
Michael's face fell at hearing that.
Michael – "Oh…"
Alexis nodded her head towards Mimi, who disappeared into her duel disk. She then reappeared a few moments later with someone else.
? – "Nice to see that you're finally awake."
Michael's head shot up towards the voice. His expression softened at the female in front of him.
Michael – "Red-Eyes…"
Michael could see that her eyes were red and puffy, most likely from non-stop crying over his wellbeing. Red-Eyes then bawled her eyes out as she flung herself at Michael, burying her head in his chest. Michael responded by hugging Red-Eyes back.
Michael – "I'm sorry Red-Eyes. I'm so, so sorry. I had completely no right to put you through all of that."
Red-Eyes – "It's okay. I'm just happy that you're alive. Just please promise me that you'll stay safe in all future encounters with Rensho."
Michael – "You know that's a promise I can't truly keep Red-Eyes. But I'll try the best I can to keep it."
Red-Eyes – "Thank you Michael. That's all I can ask you for."
The rest of the girls smiled at the sight between duel monster spirit and duelist.
Michael – "Now then Red-Eyes. What say we explain to the others about Xyro summoning?"
Red-Eyes – "Couldn't have said it better myself."
Alexis, Akiza, Sherry, and Kari got a bit giddy hearing that Michael and Red-Eyes were finally explain about Xyro summoning to them and the others. Skye, however, seemed completely lost.
Skye – "What's Xyro summoning?"
The others looked at Skye.
Akiza – "Oh right. You're completely new to this."
Kari – "Most of us don't really know what Xyro summoning is either."
Alexis – "The only ones who truly do are Michael and Red-Eyes."
Sherry – "And now we all get to learn about it from them."
Skye – "I see then."
Michael – "Bring in the others then girls."
Once everyone was ushered in. Michael asked the long awaited question.
Michael – "Now then. Everyone ready to learn about Xyro summoning?"
Everyone's facial expressions gave Michael his answer.
Michael – "I'll take everyone's expressions as a yes. Anyway, everyone here should know about the different summoning methods besides Tribute Summoning."
Yugi – "There's Ritual…"
Jaden – "…Fusion…"
Yusei – "…Synchro…"
Yuma – "…Xyz…"
Yusaku – "…and Link."
Yuya – "And thanks to Pendulum Summoning, there's also Ritual-Pendulum, Fusion-Pendulum, Synchro-Pendulum, and Xyz Pendulum Summoning as well."
Michael – "That's correct. These are the nine different summoning methods mainly used in Duel Monsters. However, legend states of a tenth summoning method. One that had nearly been lost to time."
Akiza – "Xyro summoning?"
Michael – "Yes. Xyro Summoning was also the combined version of Synchro and Xyz Summoning back then."
Tori – "It was?"
Michael – "Yes. But there's one main problem."
Kite – "What's that?"
Michael – "A special monster is needed in order to perform an Xyro Summon in the first place."
Gong – "What kind of monster?"
Michael turned towards Red-Eyes.
Michael – "Is she here Red-Eyes?"
Red-Eyes – "You bet! Oh Dark!"
Everyone watched as a purple orb of energy floated into the room through the window. The orb then disappeared and a young woman took its place. She looked like a younger version of Red-Eyes Sorceress, but the main difference was the coloring of the clothes and staff. Her robes, hat, and staff were black instead of purple, along with the orb in the staff being red instead of green.
Dark – "Hello everyone! Nice to meet you all!"
Everyone was amazed at the sight of Dark.
Michael – "Everyone. Meet Dark Soul Sorceress. She's not only Red-Eyes' self-appointed mage, but she's also an Xyz Tuner."
Akiza – "Red-Eyes' self-appointed mage?"
Kari – "Xyz Tuner?"
Sherry – "So she's the monster you need for an Xyro summon?"
Michael – "Correct. Without a Xyz Tuner, a Xyro summon is completely impossible. Oh. And one of the monsters used to xyz summon the Xyz Tuner MUST BE a Tuner monster themselves."
Alexis – "That direct?"
Michael – "Yep."
Skye – "Is it possible for the rest of us to achieve Xyro summoning as well?"
Michael – "Depends. Xyro summoning is mostly used by those of the Duel Monster Spirit World's royal family. But I say you guys can achieve if the right preparations are done."
Akiza – "Wait! Red-Eyes is royalty?!"
Red-Eyes – "That's correct. Although… The history on that part of my life is a bit…dark, so to speak."
Michael – "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to Red-Eyes."
Red-Eyes – "No Michael. Everyone else here deserves to know the real truth about my past."
Michael – "Are you truly sure about this?"
Red-Eyes – "Yes."
Michael smiled in understanding.
Michael – "Okay then. But just remember that I'm right here to support you."
Red-Eyes – "Thank you Michael."
Michael – "Not at all."
Everyone then looked back at Red-Eyes.
Akiza – "Whenever you're ready to start Red-Eyes."
Red-Eyes – "Okay."
She took a deep breath, then let it out.
Red-Eyes – "First off. How old do you all believe I truly am?"
Everyone was completely puzzled by Red-Eyes' question.
Leo – "How old are you right now Michael?"
Michael – "21."
Luna – "Then we all believe that you and Michael are the same age."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Red-Eyes – "That's true. However, 21 is my PHYSICAL age. My BIOGICAL age is 100 times that."
Jack – "Wait a sec! So you're actually 2,100 years old?!"
Red-Eyes – "Yep."
Everyone was stunned silent at that.
Yusei – "Then how much older is your sister Erias Michael?"
Michael – "She's three years older than me. So she's currently 24."
Red-Eyes – "Which in turn makes my older sister Blue-Eyes 2,400 years old."
Dark deadpanned at the two of them.
Dark – "You two do realize that you both have two older sisters."
Michael and Red-Eyes looked at Dark like she had a second head.
Michael – "You're kidding, right Dark?"
Dark – "No I am not."
Michael and Red-Eyes were the most shocked at of everyone at this revelation.
Michael – "Her name."
Dark – "Hmm?"
Michael – "My other older sister. What's her name?"
Dark smirked at this.
Dark – "Her name is Estelle. And her ace monster is Star Eater."
Michael – "The Level 11 Synchro monster?! THAT Star Eater?!"
Dark – "The same."
Before anyone could talk further, two spirit orbs, one white and the other gray, sped into the room through the window. The orbs then disappeared, followed by two women crash landing on the floor. Red-Eyes immidently recognized who they were.
Red-Eyes – "Blue-Eyes! Star Eater!"
Blue/Eyes/Star Eater – "Sister!"
The others watched in joy as Red-Eyes was finally reunited with her sisters.
?/? – "Dark!"
Dark – "Light! Galaxy!"
Dark hugged her own sisters. Red-Eyes and Dark suddenly realized what they were doing and looked towards Michael in guilt.
Red-Eyes – "We're sorry."
Michael – "No problem Red-Eyes. Just seeing you and Dark being back together with your own sisters is only making me even more determined to get Erias and Estelle out of Rensho's clutches."
Red-Eyes – "That's right Michael. And you can count on all of us to support you the whole way too."
Michael – "You're right. Thank you everyone."
? – "Don't forget our support too dear."
In walked two people, both of whom Michael already knew his whole life.
Michael – "Thanks mom, dad."
Everyone – "His Parents?!"
Michael's mom, Tracie, walked over and placed a calming hand on his shoulder.
Tracie – "Don't worry Michael. You'll get your sisters back. No doubt about it."
Michael – "Thanks mom."
Jack – "Any more surprises for us before Michael can help Red-Eyes explain her past?"
Tracie – "Just one. Felgrand. Tyrant. You two can come out now."
A middle aged man with red hair appeared next to John, while a young woman with blond hair appeared next to Tracie.
Red-Eyes – "It's really you…"
Blue-Eyes – "Mom…"
Star Eater – "Dad…"
Red-Eyes and her sisters were suddenly bawling their eyes out as they hugged their parents.
Red-Eyes – "We missed you both so much."
Felgrand – 'We know sweethearts. We're so, so sorry."
Tyrant – "Can you three ever forgive us?"
The sisters didn't have to take long to give an answer.
Red-Eyes/Blue-Eyes/Star Eater – "We already have."
Felgrand – "Thank you sweethearts."
Tyrant – "Now we can finally explain our past to everyone."
Everyone – "Finally…"
The five dragons then turned towards everyone.
Tyrant – "Hello everyone. I'm Tyrant Dragon, the former king of the Duel Monster's Spirit World."
Felgrand – "I'm Felgrand Dragon, Tyrant's wife and former queen."
Star Eater – "I'm Star Eater, the oldest of Tyrant and Felgrand's three daughters."
Blue-Eyes – "I'm Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, the middle child of the three."
Red-Eyes – "And I'm Red-Eyes Darkness dragon, the youngest of the three."
Tyrant/Felgrand/Star Eater/Blue-Eyes/Red-Eyes – "It's nice to meet you all!"
Everyone quickly returned the gesture.
Tyrant – "Does anyone have questions?"
Luna – "Who's in charge of the Spirit World right now?"
Felgrand – "Our daughters are."
Michael noticed the three sisters share a glance.
Red-Eyes – "Mom. Dad. About that…"
The sisters explained that they weren't the Spirit World's true queens.
Tyrant – "Rensho?"
Blue-Eyes – "Rensho."
John – "Rat bastard."
Tracie – "Agreed."
Jaden – "So because Lord Tyrant and Lady Felgrand aren't truly dead, aren't they the true king and queen until Red-Eyes and her sisters are once again deemed worthy of taking the crown?"
Michael – "Jaden does make a point there."
Yuma – "Blue-Eyes. Do you and Star Eater as the same evolutions as your sister Red-Eyes?"
Star Eater – "I have a similar evolution to her, Stardust, and Red Archfiend's Majestic evolutions called Miracle Star Dragon, along with Miracle Dragon, a Level 1 Tuner monster that's similar to Majestic Dragon as well. Besides that, Blue-Eyes and I share only one other evolution with Red-Eyes, and that's our Xyro evolutions."
Blue-Eyes – "The main reason for Red-Eyes having so many evolutions is due to all the life-or-death situations she and Michael have had over the years."
Zuzu – "How many evolutions does Red-Eyes have Michael?"
Michael – "Before getting my Cyberse deck, it was 17. 1 Ritual, 2 Fusion, 3 Synchro, 6 Xyz, 1 Ritual-Pendulum, 1 Fusion-Pendulum, 1 Synchro-Pendulum, and 2 Xyz-Pendulum."
Go – "How many evolutions does your Cyberse deck add to that?"
Michael – "13. 1 Ritual, 1 Fusion, 1 Synchro, 1 Xyz, and 9 Link. Which now brings the total to 30."
Everyone was stunned at hearing 30. For a single duel monster to have so many evolutions.
Akiza – "As for the elephant in the room. What caused everyone in the Spirit World to believe you two were dead?"
Felgrand and Tyrant shared a quick glance with each other before looking back to Akiza.
Felgrand/Tyrant – "Rensho had us murdered."
Everyone's blood went cold at hearing that.
Yuma – "Rensho… Killed you both?!"
Felgrand – "Yes. He believed killing us would grant him the automatic right to wield the power of Xyro. But he was mistaken."
Yusei – "It did fail. And it was only due to you two not having the power of Xyro at all, right?"
Tyrant – "You hit the nail right on the head Yusei."
Everyone – "He did?!"
Felgrand – "Yes. Unfortunately, that discovery turned his attention on our daughters."
Yusaku – "There's something else, isn't there?"
Tyrant – "Rensho…Was also Red-Eyes's fiancé."
Everyone – "WHAT?!"
Everyone, even Michael and his parents, couldn't believe what they just heard.
Michael – "Is that true Red-Eyes?"
Red-Eyes could only nod her head, keeping her gaze towards the floor. No one else could really blame her for feeling this way, what with having a VERY dark part of her past brought to life.
Alexis – "How bad was he?"
Red-Eyes – "My relationship with Rensho was very… 'One-sided', to say the least."
Michael clenched his right fist in pure anger. If Red-Eyes's relationship with Rensho was as 'one-sided' as she said it was, he was gonna make it his mission to make Rensho pay dearly for harming Red-Eyes at all.
Michael – "Rensho… I swear I'll make you pay for hurting Red-Eyes."
Red-Eyes – "He harmed me physically, mentally, emotionally, psychology, you name it."
Crow – "But you never broke once."
Red-Eyes – "No. Because I knew he wasn't the one for me."
Kite – "He wasn't?"
Red-Eyes – "He wasn't and never will be. Why? Because I hate him. No! I loathe that rat bastard."
Michael smirked at Red-Eyes bashing Rensho.
(Insert Music: Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal Sound Duel 3 – Feelings To Carry On)
Red-Eyes – "However…"
Michael's smirk quickly disappeared as Red-Eyes took her shirt off the show a scar on the left side of her back, which was also over her heart.
Michael – "Did he-"
Red-Eyes – "Yes. On the day my sisters and I were to be crowned the Spirit World's new queens, Rensho and the God Dragons attacked."
Red-Eyes let that info sink in before continuing.
Red-Eyes – "Rensho decided to be generous and let the citizens escape. While that was going on, my sisters and I, along with the Signer Dragons, Dimensional Dragons, Utopia, Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon, Shark Drake, and the seven Mythyrian Numbers confronted them. My sisters and I would fight while everyone else stayed back ready to assist if needed."
Yuya – "So what happened?"
Red-Eyes took a deep breath before answering.
Red-Eyes – "We were completely dominated."
Everyone was completely shocked at hearing that.
Michael – "Red-Eyes…"
Red-Eyes – "The three of us couldn't do a thing against them. And to top it all off, I made a grave mistake."
Jaden – "What was it?"
Red-Eyes – "At the time, my sisters and I were still trying to figure who killed our parents. When it seemed like he truly beat the three of us, Rensho blabbed about how he killed our parents and took sick joy in hearing them scream in agony. I snapped in pure anger and lunged at him, ready to strike him with my sword."
Michael's face felt as he could already tell what happened. Red-Eyes then placed her left hand over her chest.
Red-Eyes – "One second I think I have him, next his sword pierces my heart. After that, I feel him kick me off of his sword and black out. I finally wake up three days later, in a hospital room in Michael's home, with Michael himself sleeping at my bedside."
(Music Ends)
Shark – "How did that come about?"
Michael – "Since my memories of Estelle have finally returned to me, I can explain about that. The three of us were walking on the sidewalk next to the beach a small distance from the family manor. Suddenly, a portal appeared in front of us. Once it disappeared, there was Red-Eyes laying in a pool of her own blood, with Blue-Eyes and Star Eater desperately trying to keep pressure on it to stop the bleeding. Without a second to spare, the three of us sprang into action. I quickly picked up Red-Eyes, along with making sure that Blue-Eyes was keeping pressure on the wound. Meanwhile, Estelle was making sure that Star Eater was ok while Erias called mom and told her about the current situation."
Mom – "Good thing you decided to do that too. Helped me get ready to patch up Red-Eyes."
Michael – "Anyway, we returned to the manor and I handed Red-Eyes to mom, where she, Erias, and Estelle patched her up. Meanwhile, I waited outside and watched over Blue-Eyes and Star Eater."
Blue-Eyes – "We're still grateful to you for that Michael. God knows what would've happened if you weren't."
Michael – "Don't mention it. Besides, I don't think Red-Eyes would've been happy to wake up seeing you two in a very unhealthy state of affairs."
Star Eater – "He's not wrong Blue-Eyes."
Blue-Eyes – "Agreed."
Felgrand – "There's also the fact that Michael mostly took care of Red-Eyes by himself while she was recovering."
Red-Eyes – "Did you really Michael?"
Michael – "Yes. I didn't think I did much when I saved you at first, so I promised myself that I would do whatever it takes to help you regain your full strength."
Red-Eyes felt her heart flutter in her chest at Michael's words.
Red-Eyes – "Could Michael be…"
Red-Eyes moved closer to Michael on the bed.
Michael – "What is it Red-Eyes?"
Red-Eyes answered by suddenly kissing Michael square on the mouth, shocking everyone. Red-Eyes then broke the kiss.
Michael – "I didn't know you felt so strongly for me Red-Eyes."
Red-Eyes – "I can say the same for you Michael."
Everyone else chuckled at the playful banter between the pair. Blue-Eyes then noticed something Michael and Red-Eyes' hands.
Blue-Eyes – "Michael. Red-Eyes. What are those rings on your hands for?"
The pair looked at their respective hands and saw the rings. They both then shared a quick glance before blushing madly.
Red-Eyes – "Well Blue-Eyes… You see…"
Michael – "The rings signify that… Red-Eyes and I are engaged to each other."
Everyone stared blankly at the duo for a few seconds.
Everyone – "WHAT?!"
Star Eater – "Mom! Dad! That's not really true, is it?"
Felgrand – "It actually is. It was also how Tyrant and I got together. As well as John and Tracie."
Michael – "Is that true?"
Tracie – "Yep."
Michael – "There's something else you two want, isn't there?"
Tracie – "Well, if Fonda and Akiza ok it, your dad and I wanted to tag duel you."
Michael – "Can I you two?"
Akiza and Fonda shared a glance with each other.
Fonda – "Of course Michael."
Michael – "Really?!"
Akiza – "Yep. You're back to 100% anyway."
Michael quickly got out of bed and snapped his fingers, with a white ring of energy putting on his casual outfit. His outfit consisted of a t-shirt, blazer, loose jeans, and sneakers. All were mostly purple with a mix of black and red, a nod to his and Red-Eyes' personal colors.
Michael – "Let's go over the rules then mom, dad."
Tracie – "Right. You'll use the Multi-Deck system."
John – "Both sides will use the Joint-Turn system."
Michael – "And I only win if I knock BOTH of your Life Points down to 0."
Felgrand – "Blue-Eyes. Star Eater. Your father and I want you two to join your sister and Michael in this duel."
Blue-Eyes – "What for?"
Tyrant – "Just to see how strong of a bond they share."
Both sisters look at each other before nodding in agreement.
Blue-Eyes/Star Eater – "Ok."
Michael – "Ready?"
Tracie/John – "Ready."
Son and parents threw their duel disks into the air.
Michael/Tracie/John – "Duel disk, set! D-Gazer, set!"
Everyone else got their own D-Gazers out and put them on.
Gladis – "Augmented Reality – Vision Link established. Multi-Deck and Joint-Turn systems activated."
All three Masi's drew their starting hands.
Michael/Tracie/John – "Duel!"
Michael – Decks: 2. LP: 8,000, Hand(s): 5/5
Tracie – Decks: 1, LP: 8,000, Hand: 5
John – Decks; 1, LP: 8,000, Hand: 5
Turn 1: Michael
Michael – "I'll go first! I draw! Since I'm using two decks, the Multi-Deck system lets me do two normal summons per turn. I summon Red-Eyes Black Chick and Junk Synchron!"
Red-Eyes Black Chick - Lv. 1, ATK: 800, DEF: 500
Junk Synchron - Lv. 3, ATK: 1,300, DEF: 500
Michael – "Now I activate Red-Eyes Black Chick's effect! By sacrificing her, I can special summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"
Red-Eyes Black Dragon - Lv. 7, ATK: 2,400, DEF: 2,000
Michael – "And now I activate Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon's effect! By sacrificing a Red-Eyes Black Dragon on my field, I can special summon Red-Eyes Darkness from my hand by her effect! Come forth! Dark Queen of Dragons, Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon!"
Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon - Lv. 9, ATK: 2,400, DEF: 2,000
Michael – "That's one. Now for her other effect! She gains 300 ATK for each Dragon-Type monster in my grave! I currently have two, so she gains 600 ATK!"
(2 x 300 = 600)
Red-Eyes Darkness's ATK: 2,400 + 600 = 3,000
Michael – "I activate the ritual spell White Dragon Ritual! By sacrificing monsters whose combined levels equal at least 4, I can ritual summon Paladin of White Dragon from my hand! I sacrifice Debris Dragon! Ritual Summon! Come forth! Level 4! Paladin of White Dragon!"
Paladin of White Dragon - Lv. 4, ATK: 1,900, DEF: 1,200
Michael – "Red-Eyes' effect activates!"
Red-Eyes Darkness's ATK: 3,000 + 300 = 3,300
Michael – "I activate Paladin of White Dragon's effect! By tributing her, I can special summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand or deck. Come forth! Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
Blue-Eyes White Dragon - Lv. 8, ATK: 3,000, DEF: 2,500
Michael – "Red-Eyes' effect activates!"
Red-Eyes Darkness's ATK: 3,300 + 300 = 3,600
Michael – "Now I tune level 8 Blue-Eyes with level 3 Junk Synchron! A million suns can never outshine the brightest star in the universe! Synchro Summon! Level 11! Arise, Galactic Queen of Dragons, Star Eater!"
(8 + 3 = 11)
Star Eater - Lv. 11, ATK: 3,200, DEF: 2,800
Michael – "That's two. Now I activate the spell Synchro Recall. This card lets me bring back at least one monster that was used for a synchro summon. Return to me, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
Blue-Eyes White Dragon returned to the field.
Michael – "Now I activate a spell that my sister Erias is known for! Blue-Eyes Ascension!"
Everyone – "Blue-Eyes Ascension?!"
Michael – "Normally a Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon has to be sacrificed to special summon Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon. But thanks to this spell, that need is completely bypassed! Blue-Eyes Ascension lets me tribute a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand or field, and I can special summon her evolved form, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, from my hand or deck! I sacrifice Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Come forth! Light Queen of Dragons, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!"
Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon - Lv. 10, ATK: 3,000, DEF: 2,500
Michael – "And that's three."
Cathy – "No way…"
Caswell – "Michael just summoned all three dragon sisters in a single turn."
Michael – "Red-Eyes and Blue-Eyes' effects activate! They both gain 300 ATK for each Dragon-Type monster in my graves. I currently have 5. So Red-Eyes gains another 300 ATK, and Blue-Eyes gains 1,500 ATK!"
(5 x 300 = 1,500)
Red-Eyes Darkness's ATK: 3,600 + 300 = 3,900
Blue-Eyes Shining's ATK: 3,000 + 1,500 = 4,500
Michael – "I activate Dragon Draw! This spell lets draw cards from my deck equal to the number of Dragon-Type monsters on my field. I have three. So I can draw three cards from each deck."
Michael drew three cards from both decks through Dragon Draw's effect.
Michael – "I set three cards facedown. And that's all for me."
Michael – Decks: 2. LP: 8,000, Hand(s): 1/3
Tracie – Decks: 1, LP: 8,000, Hand: 5
John – Decks; 1, LP: 8,000, Hand: 5
Turn 2: Tracie/John
Tracie/John – "Our turn! Draw!"
John – "First I summon Lord of D."
Lord of D. - Lv. 4, ATK: 1,200, DEF: 1,100
John – "Now I play the spell The Flute of Summoning Dragon! Thanks to the Joint-Turn system, Tracie and I can either special summon two dragons from our hand by ourselves, or we can each special summon one dragon from our hands together."
Tracie – "And we choose the second option. Come forth, Felgrand Dragon!"
John – "You as well, Tyrant Dragon!"
Felgrand Dragon - Lv. 8, ATK: 2,800, DEF: 2,800
Tyrant Dragon - Lv. 8, ATK: 2,900, DEF: 2,500
Tracie – "And now I summon Lady of D."
Lady of D. - Lv. 4, ATK: 1,500, DEF: 1,100
Alfred – "And now their Lord & Lady combo is complete."
Michael stared at the two dragons and spellcasters on his parent's fields. He then took a deep breath.
Michael – "Mom. Dad. I'm sorry. But as of right now, your Lord & Lady combo is officially destroyed."
Tracie – "And what makes you say that dear?"
(Insert Music: Ace Attorney 6 Spirit of Justice OST – Apollo Justice ⁓ A New Trial of Chapters! (2016 Version))
Michael – "I activate my facedown! The continuous trap Rivalry of Warlords!"
Tracie/John – "Oh no!"
Michael – "Oh yes! Now then, dragon or caster?"
Annie – "What does Michael mean by that?"
Alfred – "Long ago, Master Michael and his sisters, Lady Erias and Lady Estelle, were watching a tag duel involving their parents on the TV. Lady Tracie and Master John already had their Lord & Lady combo out on the field. While opening card packs, Master Michael pulled the Rivalry of Warlords trap. He then stated that it was the only way to destroy their parent's seemingly unbeatable combo. Once Lady Erias and Lady Estelle got their own version of the trap card, they made a vow with each other that whoever dueled their parents next, would be the one to use this strategy."
Ellsworth – "So you're saying that Michael is the first ever person to defeat Tracie and John's combo Alfred?"
Alfred – "Yes little brother. That's exactly what I'm saying."
Michael – "Well mom and dad? Make your decision already."
Tracie – "What do we do?! If we choose Dragon, Lord and Lady of D. are gone!"
John – "But if we choose SpellCaster, the same goes for Felgrand and Tyrant!"
Both parent's shared a worried glance with each other. They both then finally came to a conclusion.
(Music Ends)
Tracie/John – "We choose Dragon!"
Lord of D. and Lady of D. were removed from the field due to Rivalry of Warlords' effect. The SpellCaster duo walked over and sat down next to everyone else.
Dark – "Don't worry mom and dad. Michael was just too far ahead of you guys to think of a counter strategy."
Lady of D. – "Thank you sweetheart."
Yuma – "Are you two really Dark, Light, and Galaxy's parents?"
Lord of D. – "Yes. Although, the two of us were sadly killed at the same time as Lady Felgrand and Lord Tyrant."
Yuzu – "Rensho's doing?"
Lady of D. – "Yes. The biggest regret the four of us have from that is not being able to see how amazing our own daughters have become."
Hideo, Setsuko, Kazuma, Mira, Hakase, Sorashi, and Yusho shared a quick glance with each other. The seven adults knew that feeling all too well.
Tracie/John – "We end our turn."
(Insert Music: Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Sound Duel 2 – A Freed Heart)
Michael closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening them.
Michael – "Astralette. Crimson. It's time."
Astralette/Crimson – "Right!"
Michael – "I overlay my own soul with Astralette and Crimson!"
Everyone – "WHAT?!"
The trio jumped into the air.
Michael/Astralette/Crimson – "We build the overlay network with the three of us!"
The three of them were each surrounded by a different colored energy sphere, purple (Michael), blue (Astralette), and red (Crimson). The three spheres then joined together in the air.
Astralette – "When our bonds come together…!"
Crimson – "Our hearts and power become one,"
Michael – "…creating the Legend, the Miracle of the Light!"
Michael/Astralette/Crimson – "Soul Xyz Evolution! Crimson ZeXal!"
(Music Ends)
Tracie – "Soul Xyz evolution…"
John – "Crimson Zexal…"
Michael – Decks: 2. LP: 8,000, Hand(s): 1/3
Tracie – Decks: 1, LP: 8,000, Hand: 4
John – Decks; 1, LP: 8,000, Hand: 3
Turn 3: Michael
A bright light came from Michael's right hand.
Michael – "Clustering wishes and light of hope. Come together in my right hand, and grant me the power to change fate! Crimson Shining Draw!"
Michael looked at the two cards he drew.
Michael – "They're here, mom and dad! I'm show you both just how strong my bond with Red-Eyes and everyone truly is! I activate Rank-Down-Magic, Crimson Fall!"
Blue-Eyes – "Rank-Down-Magic…"
Star Eater – "…Crimson Fall?!"
Michael – "This card will Rank-Down Red-Eyes Darkness and special summon a new Red-Eyes!"
Tracie/John/Felgrand/Tyrant – "Rank-Down her, you say?!"
Michael – "I rebuild the overlay network with my Level 9 Red-Eyes! Xyz De-Evolution!"
Red-Eyes roared as she became a purple trail of energy and flew into the overlay network.
Michael – "Appear, Rank 6 Dragon Xyz! Dark Queen of Dragons! Embrace the light of hope as you march bravely towards a new evolution! Retrieve the memories of your origin and become the force of perfection! Dark Dragon Queen of Wishes, Red-Eyes Darkness Roots Dragon!"
Red-Eyes donned Utopia Roots' armor as she stood in front of the upright Xyz card. This is Red-Eyes Roots' human form.
Red-Eyes Darkness Roots Dragon - RK. 6, ATK: 1,500, DEF: 1,500, Overlay Units: 1
Hideo/Kazuma/Hakase/Yusho – "Red-Eyes Darkness…"
Setsuko/Mira/Sorashi/Yoko – "…Roots Dragon."
(Insert Music: Yu-Gi-Oh ZEXAL Sound Duel 4 – Duel of Souls)
Michael – "I activate Overlay Recall! Return to me Red-Eyes!"
Red-Eyes returned to the field.
Astralette – "It's time Michael."
Crimson – "Yeah! Let's show your folks just how strong we truly are!"
Michael – "You girls took the words right out of my mouth. I activate Rank-Up-Magic, Crimson Astral Force!"
Tracie/Felgrand – "Rank-Up-Magic…"
John/Tyrant – "…Crimson Astral Force?!"
Michael – "This card targets a Dragon-Type monster on my field. Then lets me special summon a 'Dragon Xyz' monster that's 2 ranks higher from my Extra Deck. I rebuild the overlay network with my Level 9 Red-Eyes! Rank-Up Xyz Evolution!"
Red-Eyes roared once again as she became a purple trail of energy and flew into the overlay network in the air.
Michael – "Smash through the limits, Red-Eyes! Appear, Rank 11 Dragon Xyz! Dark Queen of Dragons! Race towards the unseeable future that appears far off in the distance!"
Red-Eyes was surrounded by her other Xyz evolutions as they raised their swords in the air together. She then donned Utopia Beyond's armor.
Michael – "Go beyond your previous limits and create that future with your own hands! Dark Dragon Queen of Wishes, Red-Eyes Darkness Beyond Dragon!"
Red-Eyes Darkness Beyond Dragon - Rk. 11, ATK: 3,900, DEF: 3,500, Overlay Units: 1
(Music Ends)
Alexis – "Red-Eyes Darkness…"
Kari – "…Beyond Dragon."
Michael – "Overlay Recall activates again."
Red-Eyes returned to the field again.
Michael – "I activate Red-Eyes Roots and Red-Eyes Beyond's first effects! For each Dragon-Type monster on my field and in my grave they both gain 500 ATK! I currently have 5 Dragons on my field and another 5 in my grave! That's 10! So they both gain 5,000 ATK and 10 additional attacks!"
(10 x 500 = 5,000)
Red-Eyes Roots' ATK: 1,500 + 5,000 = 6,500
Red-Eyes Roots' Additional Attacks: 0 + 10 = 10
Red-Eyes Beyond's ATK: 3,900 + 5,000 = 8,900
Red-Eyes Beyond's Additional Attacks: 0 + 10 = 10
Michael – "Now I activate their second effects! For each additional attack they gained from their first effect that I remove, they both 1,000 ATK! I remove all 10 additional attacks, so they both gain 10,000 ATK!"
(10 x 1,000 = 10,000)
Red-Eyes Roots' ATK: 6,500 + 10,000 = 16,500
Red-Eyes Roots' Additional Attacks: 10 – 10 = 0
Red-Eyes Beyond's ATK: 8,900 + 10,000 = 18,900
Red-Eyes Beyond's Additional Attacks: 10 – 10 = 0
Michael – "Red-Eyes Roots' third effect! She gains ATK equal to the combined value of all levels and ranks on my field times 500! Red-Eyes Roots herself in Rank 6…"
Star Counter: 0 + 6 = 6
Michael – "…Red-Eyes Darkness is Level 9…"
Star Counter: 6 + 9 = 15
Michael – "…Blue-Eyes Shining is Level 10…"
Star Counter: 15 + 10 = 25
Michael – "…Star Eater is Level 11…"
Star Counter: 25 + 11 = 36
Michael – "…and Red-Eyes Beyond is Rank 11."
Star Counter: 36 + 11 = 47
Michael – "This brings the Star Counter to 47! Which means that Red-Eyes Roots gains 23,500 ATK!"
(47 x 500 = 23,500)
Red-Eyes Roots' ATK: 16,500 + 23,500 = 40,000
Tracie/John – "40,000 ATK points?!"
Suddenly, Michael's eyes closed as Crimson Zexal III came undone. Yulia and Yuta caught Astralette, while Yuga and Yura did the same with Crimson.
Crimson – "You okay Astralette?"
Astralette – "Just fine Crimson. You?"
Crimson – "Same."
They then both looked at Michael, whose eyes were still closed.
Astralette – "You ok Michael?"
Crimson – "Yeah. Why did you undo Crimson ZeXal?"
Michael finally spoke, but to everyone's utter shock, it wasn't his voice that came out.
?/? – "Sorry you two. But Michael let us borrow his body for a bit."
Blue-Eyes and Star Eater recognized the female duo right away.
Blue-Eyes – "Erias…"
Star Eater – "Estelle…"
Michael then opened his eyes. However, instead of their normal brown, his left eye was green and right eye was blue.
Erias – "Blue-Eyes, Star Eater, we're sorry."
Estelle – "Mom, dad, you too."
Tracie – "Its ok you two. At least you both are unharmed."
John – "Now what say we finish this duel?"
Michael/Erias/Estelle – "Right! Oh. Before we forget."
Tracie – "What is it?"
Michael/Erias/Estelle – "Red-Eyes Beyond's summoning through Crimson Astral Force counts as an Xyz summoning. And because she was Xyz summoned, the ATK of all monsters on our opponent's field becomes 0."
Tyrant Dragon's ATK: 2,900 – 2,900 = 0
Felgrand Dragon's ATK: 2,800 – 2,800 = 0
Tracie/John – "No way…"
(Insert Music: Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Sound Duel 3 - A Duel of Friendship)
Michael/Erias/Estelle – "Red-Eyes Beyond! Attack Tyrant Dragon!"
John – "Watch yourself Tyrant!"
Tyrant – "Got it!"
Michael/Erias/Estelle – "DARK BEYOND FLARE SLASH!"
John's LP: 8,000 – 18,900 = 0
John: Out
John/Tyrant – "Sorry dears."
Tracie – "Don't worry you two."
Felgrand – "Yeah. We'll finish the fight for you."
Michael/Erias/Estelle – "Go, Red-Eyes Roots! Attack Felgrand Dragon!"
Tracie – "Here they come Felgrand!"
Felgrand – "Right!"
Michael/Erias/Estelle – "At this moment, we activate Red-Eyes Roots' effect! When she battles an Xyz Monster, by giving an Overlay Unit to the opponent, she can negate her attack, then she gains ATK equal to the number of Dragon-Type monsters on our field and in our grave times 1,000 for this turn only! Last we checked, there were 10 Dragons! So Red-Eyes Roots gains 10,000 ATK!"
Felgrand – "Wait a sec?! But I'm not an Xyz monster!"
Michael/Erias/Estelle – "That's the whole point."
Tracie – "What do you three mean by that?"
Michael/Erias/Estelle – "We activate our second facedown! The spell Overlay Switch!"
Kari – "Overlay Switch?!"
Michael/Erias/Estelle – "When an effect that causes Overlay Units to go from one Xyz monster to another is activated, this card lets us decide which Xyz monster gets the Overlay Units instead!"
Akiza – "But the only other Xyz monster on the field is…"
Michael/Erias/Estelle – "That's right! Red-Eyes Roots' Overlay Unit…is going to Red-Eyes Beyond!"
(10 x 1,000 = 10,000)
Red-Eyes Roots' Overlay Units: 1 – 1 = 0
Red-Eyes Beyond's Overlay Units: 1 + 1 = 2
Red-Eyes Roots' ATK: 40,000 + 10,000 = 50,000
Tracie – "50,000 Attack Points?! But Red-Eyes Roots' battle is already over!"
Michael/Erias/Estelle – "Are you sure? We activate the Quick-Play Spell, Double Or Nothing! When a monster's attack is negated, this card can double the Attack Points of the negated monster and let them attack once again!"
Red-Eyes Roots' ATK: 50,000 x 2 = 100,000
Tracie/Felgrand – "100,000 Attack Points!?"
Michael/Erias/Estelle – "This is the result of our battling alongside everyone! Red-Eyes Roots, make the final attack! DARK ROOTS FLARE SLASH!"
Tracie just still where she was and took the attack head-on.
Tracie – "Michael… Erias… Estelle… Thank you…"
(Music Ends)
Tracie's LP: 8,000 – 100,000 = 0
Tracie: Out
Winner: Michael/Erias/Estelle
Michael quickly rushed over to his mom.
Michael – "You ok mom?"
Tracie – "Just fine dear."
Tracie then hugs Michael, who returns it in earnest.
Tracie – "I'm so proud of you son."
Michael – "Thank you mom."
Tracie – "And I'm proud of you two as well."
Michael turned to see Erias and Estelle standing in front of him.
Michael – "Sisters…"
Michael hugged his sisters, who quickly returned it.
Michael – "I missed you both so much."
Erias/Estelle – "We missed you too little bro."
The three siblings broke apart.
Erias – "Blue-Eyes and Star Eater haven't been a bother to you and Red-Eyes have they?"
Michael – "Not yet. But they may soon."
Blue-Eyes/Star Eater – "Hey!"
Everyone else burst out laughing at the two dragon sister's expense, even Red-Eyes, Felgrand, and Tyrant.
Michael – "I'm sorry for not remembering you Estelle."
Estelle – "It's ok Michael. You weren't old enough to properly remember me anyway yet."
Michael – "When I DO get you both back, what say we hang out like proper siblings should?"
Erias/Estelle – "Right!"
Their bodies then started to disappear.
Erias/Estelle – "See you around, little brother."
Michael slowly watched as his sisters disappeared from sight.
Michael – "Yeah. See you around…"
No one said anything. Then Michael fell to his knees and cried as he let out a gut-wrenching scream.
