57. The Final Sin.
Only a few enemies remain: Syn, Grodus and the Shadow Queen Kali.
With Grave saved from the Trinity Mario's mind is at ease.
They know Syn is next and Geno is bent on taking her down.
After Grave had left Merlon decided to go back outside, he needed to speak to the counsel about Grave.
'So it's only the two of us now.' Mario said just to break the awful silence.
'Seems so we need to stay focused last room is up ahead.' Geno replied.
After more minutes of walking through the same hallway they entered another one, this hallway looked different it was wider, pillars were lined up on the sides, candles burning with black flames on the walls a red carpet decorated the normally cold floor, in the middle of this room stood a single female figure.
'Syn.' Geno spoke the woman didn't move slowly Geno and Mario got closer.
'Beyond here is where the Shadow Queen, no Kali is imprisoned.' Syn suddenly spoke she was almost whispering but her voice echoed through the chamber.
'So Grodus is there as well?' Mario asked.
'He is and he is cowering.' Replied Syn.
'Not your style to act as the last line of defense.' Geno said in a mocking tone.
'See it how you will Celestian I am here for only one thing.' Slowly Syn spread her arms: 'I want the Crystal Stars once I have these the power of Kali will be mine, with that power I shall invade Star Haven and free Faust.'
Mario and Geno gave each other a quick look Mario had no clue on who Faust really was he only knew Faust was responsible for the Trinity and that when Mario was Dueling Dimentio Geno and Caedis took Faust down in Smithy's factory.
'I won't let you get to that madman.' Geno growled.
'Then try to stop me.' Came Syn's reply.
Geno felt a shock of magic going through the room, Mario suddenly fell to the ground as Geno wanted to run to his friend purple human-shaped souls appeared around him and Syn their eyes were glowing with a yellow light.
'Don't worry about your friend.' Syn coldly said.
'This is an affair between Celestians, our magic colliding is too much to handle for a mere human, his magic keeps him alive though he only lost consciousness.'
Geno let out a sigh of relieve then he looked at the souls around him.
'So what wicked magic did you use this time?'
Syn chuckled: 'I didn't do anything, maybe you should see for yourself.'
She snapped her fingers an orb appeared in the room it showed Rogueport, Mario's friend who all went outside were fighting X-Naut Soldiers, the view slowly changed the town was in chaos criminals were running amok security forces were trying to stop them, civilians were rioting in the streets store were being looted, people had created pyres in the street, among the chaos dead bodies laid on the ground the streets were slowly turning red with blood, the sky had turned dark there were no stars and no moon.
Syn snapped again the orb disappeared.
'Magic seeped through the Thousand-Year Door.' The Fallen Celestian spoke: 'This magic has been stuck in here for quite some time, the Shadow Queen corrupted it now it seeped out into Rogueport, people got affected it renewed the will to fight among the X-Naut soldiers it also brought out the worst of humankind: Murder, riots, looters complete chaos.'
Syn showed a wicked smile she then pointed at the souls surrounding them.
'These are the sins of the people of Rogueport taking the form of lost souls, Geno I will bury you in these sins.'
Syn showed her left arm purple mist formed around it taking the shape of a scythe-like Duel Disk five cards appeared in her hand.
(Geno: 8000) - (Syn: 8000)
'Syn you're sick, whatever it is you're doing I will ensure it won't happen.' Geno drew his opening hand, a red and blue crystal appeared next to him. 'I set the Pendulum Scales with Performapal U Go Golem and Performapal Odd-Eyes Unicorn.' A weird creature appeared in the red crystal a creature made of white bricks it were two U-shapes one right-side up the other one upside-down a fiendish face connected the two shapes together in the middle, in the blue crystal appeared a unicorn with light-green fur, a blue horn and pink manes and hair, it wore a blue vest and had one brown and one green eye.
Geno spread his arms a giant pendulum appeared behind him it started to swing.
'I Pendulum Summon Odd-Eyes Dragon!' A red light shot out from the pendulum a Monster started to appear before Geno it was a red dragon standing on it's rather large hindlegs it had smaller arms ending in claws, two horns were connected to it's back, it's neck was rather long it's serpentine head was covered by golden armor, it held it's long tail ready to swipe, the chest got protected by beige armor with two blue orbs etched into it. (2500 ATK)
'That Deck.' Syn hissed.
'The Deck that can only be bestowed by the wishes of Star Haven.' Geno said: 'The people wish to be free, this Deck allows me to grand that wish.' Geno replied, quickly he placed a card in his Duel Disk which appeared facedown behind his Monster. 'Your turn Syn.
Syn's Duel Disk started to glow a card appeared in her hand.
'I will start with a Field Spell.' She stated Geno felt the magic in the air changing more souls appeared around them, purple souls started to float around them their moans echoed through the chamber.
'Why can't I see the Field Spell?' Geno asked confused, Syn replied with laughter.
'The conditions for the Field Spell aren't met yet, until that time it shows as a blanc card.' She explained.
'I like keeping you in the dark Geno, so for now I Set another card.' She stated a reversed card appeared vertically on the Field.
'I end my turn.' She said with a broad grin on her face.
Geno said nothing as he drew his card, he looked over his hand and the Field for a few minutes.
'Syn I don't know what games you're playing but this can't go on any longer.' Geno said, he pressed a button on his Duel Disk his reversed Pendulum Switch Continuous Trap card appeared.
'With Pendulum Switch I can move a Monster from my Field to a Pendulum Zone or the other way around.' He quickly explained in a flash of light U Go Golem disappeared from the crystal and appeared on the Field. (1600 ATK)
'Odd-Eyes Dragon direct attack on the traitor!' Geno's Monster roared before charging in the pounding of it's mighty feet made the ground shake.
'So gullible Geno, I have a card of my own to activate!'
An explosion of dark mist forced Odd-Eyes Dragon back, many of the floating souls were pulled into the dark mist.
'Geno my facedown card was a Monster that can only be Summoned by setting it as a Spell or Trap card first, it activates by me paying almost all my Life Points!'
Syn spread her arms as the many souls started to swirl around her she started to laugh as the souls passed through her body and into the mist.
(Geno: 8000) - (Syn: 100)
When the last soul disappeared into the mist a bunch of bones appeared spread around the Field there were a humanoid torso, long arms ending in human hands, legs that appeared to be mostly human but ending in goat-like hooves, several bones that would form a pair of wings, the most eerie thing was the skull, it was animal-like in appearance with two large horns growing out of the sides pointing upwards, the skull was floating a pentagram burning in the center of it's forehead, yellow lights filled the eye sockets. (0 ATK)
Geno started to tremble, the magic that came from the creature was incredible.
The image of Syn's Field Spell appeared it was called: Realm of the Sinner, the same pentagram depicted on the skull appeared on the ground.
'Geno this is Malice: The Cardinal Sin.' Syn said with a laugh.
'Malice is a complicated creature, first of all it cannot be Banished or Destroyed except by Battle, when Malice is Summoned the replay of your battle is nullified, the Monster you attacked with must attack Malice.'
A deep growl came from the skull Odd-Eyes Dragon charged in again.
The dragon tried to bash the skull to no avail.
'Since Malice was just Summoned for now it cannot be Destroyed by Battle and I will gain the Damage as Life Points instead.'
Black mist swirled around Syn slowly she absorbed it.
(Geno: 8000) - (Syn: 2600)
'I don't know what is going on Syn but since your Malice can be Destroyed by Battle I attack it with U Go Golem!' Geno shouted.
The creature waggled towards the skull, it bended it's arms in order to punch the creature.
'I use the Effect of Malice again, first I pay Life Points equal to half the Attack Points of your Monster, this way Malice cannot be Destroyed by Battle then I gain Life Points again equal to the Attack Points of your Monster.'
U Go Golem punched the skull nothing happened then again Syn got surrounded by mist.
(Geno: 8000) - (Syn: 2600- 1800- 3400)
'Now what? As long as I keep attacking this Malice with weaker Monsters she will only gain Life Points, I need to find a way to weaken her then attack with a powerful enough Monster so she cannot pay Life Points to prevent her Monster from being Destroyed, hard but possible.' Geno's gaze went towards the still unconscious Mario.
'For now I shall end my turn Syn.' He stated.
A new card appeared in Syn's hand.
'First the Effect of Malice activates, when it is the start of my turn it moves into my Spell and Trap Zone, for as long as Realm of the Sinner is active and Malice is in a Spell or Trap card Zone I can pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon a Sinner Token.'
One of the purple souls flew through Syn before landing in front of her. (1000 DEF)
(Geno: 8000) - (Syn: 2400)
'Now I activate Battle of Sinners.' Syn stated a Spell card briefly appeared on the Field.
'When I control a Sinner Token your Monsters must attack it, when I do not control any more Sinner Tokens you cannot attack, these battles are treated as your Battle Phase.' Syn explained.
Geno looked confused as to what was going on, his Odd-Eyes Dragon let out a roar before charging in, the Sinner Token stood no chance.
'Geno you're in trouble now, when a Sinner Token is Destroyed during your Battle Phase I can pay 500 Life Points to Summon a Sinful Soul Token in it's place, but by Banishing Battle of Sinners from my Graveyard I do not have to pay for one Token.' One of the purple souls with glowing eyes took it's place. (0 ATK)
Syn took the Spell card it disappeared in a purple mist.
'These Sinful Soul Tokens are the embodiment of the riots going on outside.' Syn started.
'I release the Token so it's sin will be revealed.
The Token slowly started to change into a shadowy, human form clearly a bald-headed, muscular male, his eyes were glowing yellow in his hands the figure held a butcher's knife. (2000 ATK)
'So this one here took the form of Carnage: The Sinful Butcher.' Syn said.
'This is the sin of the murderer running amok outside, as for the Effect whenever Carnage Destroys a Monster he gains one Sin Counter, he can only hold one but he gains 500 ATK whenever he holds one.'
Carnage slowly moved the knife along his finger drawing blood he then leaped forward onto U Go Golem and violently began stabbing it to pieces, when the Butcher was done a purple aura appeared around him. (2000- 2500 ATK)
(Geno: 7600) - (Syn: 2400)
'Geno I shall end my turn which means that Malice returns to the Monster Zone.' Quickly she swapped the cards around.
'My turn then.' Geno said he drew his card.
'First I Set the Pendulum Scale with Performapal Odd-Eyes Light Phoenix.' In the crystal appeared the mythical bird, it had red and golden feathers it wore a black and blue vest with a sheriff star on it and a small hat on it's head.
'Now I can Pendulum Summon U Go Golem and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!' An older version of Odd-Eyes Dragon appeared next to it's counterpart, this version was slightly bigger and it had new horns on it's head. (U Go Golem: 1600, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: 2500 ATK)
Geno smiled: 'I got you Syn, I can't attack Malice because of it's Effects, you can keep Summoning Tokens because you regain Life Points by my attacks, if I don't attack you you can only Summon two more of your Tokens.'
Syn started to laugh: 'And you think I haven't figured that out?'
Geno was taken aback by this of course he knew it wouldn't be this easy to beat her but it felt like Syn was in total control.
'Geno during your turn I can pay 1000 Life Points so that Realm of the Sinner forces you to battle.' Geno's Monsters took a fighting stance.
(Geno: 7600) - (Syn: 1400)
'And don't go thinking you can attack any target, when I use this Effect and Malice is in a Monster Zone he is the only attack target you get.'
The regular Odd-Eyes roared before charging in.
'First I pay Life Points only to regain them.' Syn smiled the dragon rammed the goat-like skull but the creature didn't even flinch.
(Geno: 7600) - (Syn: 1400- 150- 2650)
As Odd-Eyes Dragon retreated U Go Golem took a shot unleashing a flurry of fast punches that bounced right off of the skull.
(Geno: 7600) - (Syn: 2650- 1850- 3450)
Finally Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon took a shot, it's horns managed to crack the skull, the pentagram on the forehead of the skull started to glow and the damage was fixed.
'I helped create this Deck Geno.' Syn spoke: 'When Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon attacks it deals double the Battle Damage, since I need to pay Life Points equal to half the Monster's attack that will be only 1250 but I will receive Life Points equal to the Damage I would have taken from that battle!' Syn spread her arms as purple mist started to pour into her body.
(Geno: 7600) - (Syn: 3450- 2200- 7200)
'No way, this is a nightmare.' Geno muttered Syn started to cackle.
'This is the evil in the hearts of the people outside Geno, humankind is rotten, Star Haven fights to protect something this evil, I will see this Duel through to the end Star Haven will soon fall.'
A new card appeared in Syn's hand.
'First of all Malice returns to the back.' Syn stated as she moved the card on her Duel Disk, the pentagram on the head of Malice started to burn once again.
'Now I pay 4000 Life Points!'
Four souls circled around Syn before the one-by-one passed through her.
(Geno: 7600) - (Syn: 3200)
The four Sinner Tokens appeared before her. (1000 DEF x4)
Slowly Syn took another card from her hand, she showed it to Geno it was a Spell card.
'I activate Souls Bursting With Sin.' The Spell card appeared on the Field the pentagram on the floor started to glow, the Sinner Tokens exploded in a purple mist.
'I pay 500 Life Points per Sinner Token to change them into Sinful Soul Tokens!' Purple mist poured out of Sin's body it entered the Sinful Soul Tokens. (0 ATK x4)
(Geno: 7600) - (Syn: 1200)
'One Sinful Souls changes into Pilferer: The Sinful Ransacker, the second one changes into Rampage: The Sinful Rioter and the last two take the form of Discord: The Sinful Anarchist!'
Before Syn appeared three shadowy figures with yellow eyes they looked similar to Butcher, the first of the three Pilferer was a lanky figure holding a heavy sack over his shoulder, he looked much like the classic cartoon thieves. (1800 ATK)
The second one Rampage looked less comical he was a heavy-build man with a bald head, in his left hand he held a police riot shield probably stolen in his right hand he held a burning Molotov Cocktail. (2500 ATK)
The last one Discord was a man clad in armor it looked self-fabricated his head was hidden by a helmet, he carried several weapons on him. (3200 ATK)
'Before I unleash all sin upon you Geno some of my Monsters gains Sin Counters when Summoned, one for Discord and three for Rampage.' Both of the shadowy figures' eyes started to glow brighter.
'Now all hell breaks loose!' Syn shouted geysers of purple mist erupted around Geno the Celestian got caught in a cloud of Syn's magic.
'Carnage attacks Odd-Eyes Dragon!'
The shadow moved his finger across his blade before he charged in, the shadow and the dragon clashed.
'Now I remove the Sin Counter from Carnage so he survives the battle.' Carnage gave a powerful kick to Odd-Eyes Dragon the dragon staggered backwards and with a wild slash Carnage finished it off although he became weaker in the process. (2500- 2000 ATK)
'Pilferer attack U Go Golem!' With incredible speed the shadow charged in he opened his sack and caught the stone creature in it.
(Geno: 7400) - (Syn: 1200)
The purple mist now completely surrounded Geno, the Celestian had difficulty breathing.
'The Effect of Pilferer allows me to remove one Sin Counter from the Field, in this case Discord, the Monster Pilferer attacked won't be Destroyed and then be Summoned to my Field, a Monster Summoned to my Field with this Effect cannot attack.' Syn explained the thief removed the sack leaving U Go Golem at Syn's side.
'Now Discord attacks Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!'
The armored man took a grenade and threw it at Odd-Eyes the explosive turned out to be a smoke bomb, the dragon roared then Discord leaped through the smoke plunging a pair of daggers in the dragon's chest.
The screams from Geno inside the mist filled the room, Syn laughed.
'When Discord destroys a Monster he gains a Sin Counter.' The eyes of the Anarchist started to glow again.
(Geno: 6700) - (Syn: 1200)
'The second Effect of Discord allows me to Destroy one of my Monsters so it can attack again for half damage.' The warrior took a baseball bat and started to work on U Go Golem.
'But before Discord attacks again I use the Effect of Rampage by spending one of Rampage's Sin Counters I can Special Summon a second one only this one has 1500 Attack Points and loses his Effect.'
A carbon copy of Rampage appeared next to the first one. (2500- 1500 ATK)
Discord and both Rampages attack directly!'
Syn's cackles sounded between Geno's screams of pain.
(Geno: 1100) - (Syn: 1200)
When the mist around Geno disappeared he laid on the ground not moving, blood quickly formed around him as his flesh was cut in countless places.
'Now Geno I shall kill you, Mario is still knocked out he's easy prey the Crystal Stars are mine.' As Syn wanted to take a step Geno moved.
'Not yet Syn.' He panted as he slowly stood up, Mario's body was glowing the light also surrounded Geno slowly his wounds healed.
'How are you still alive? Mario can't heal wounds so severe!' Syn said confused.
'Not Mario Syn, the Crystal Stars react to my magic, after all they were created by Star Haven.' Geno casually drew his card.
'Now we'll see how your hell holds up.'
The pendulum behind Geno started to swing again.
'I Pendulum Summon Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and U Go Golem again!' Geno shouted two beams of light appeared on the Field and his two Monsters leaped out. (Odd-Eyes Pendulum: 2500 ATK, U Go Golem: 1600 ATK)
'Now I activate Pendulum Switch to summon Performapal Odd-Eyes Light Phoenix.' The mythical bird broke out of the crystal it started to circle around the room a trail of flames behind it. (2000 ATK)
'Syn I will tear you down, U Go Golem attack the weaker Rampage!'
'No you won't Geno, I remove the two Sin Counters left on my first Rampage.' The eyes of the shadow stopped glowing U Go Golem charged forward.
'Discord must be attacked now and all damage to me is negated for this battle!' Syn laughed her Monster leaped in front of the shadow.
'Darn, I must activate the Pendulum Effect of my Unicorn!' The remaining crystal started to glow. 'I can add the Attack Points of Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon to U Go Golem!'
The small blocky creature suddenly started to grow to twice it's size. (1600- 4100 ATK)
With one powerful punch the creature flattened Discord.
Syn started to laugh maniacally.
'Geno now you did it! First of all since there is space in a Monster Zone Malice is moved to my Monster Zone.' Syn said as she swapped the card.
'Now the Effect of Discord since he had a Sin Counter when he was Destroyed I can Equip him to Malice now.
The bones scattered around the room that belonged to Malice started to float towards the head slowly but surely the skeleton of the goat-like demon was reassembled.
'Got you right where I wanted Syn, you have no Life Points left to negate an attack on Malice! Go Odd-Eyes!' Geno roared his Pendulum Dragon charged in the massive beast completely broke the skeleton.
(Geno: 1100) - (Syn: 100)
The Dragon walked back to Geno's side Syn was laughing.
'You tried to destroy Malice when it was Equipped with Discord.' Syn spread her arms the bones started to reassemble again.
'Discord is the soul of sin while Malice is the body, those combined give birth to the ultimate sin!'
First muscles appeared over the bones followed by the veins and the flesh Malice changed into a black-skinned, demonic beast with fur on the lower ends of it's arms and legs, the top of it's head was covered in long, black hair the underside of it's face was covered by a beard, it's arms ended in long, sharp claws, it's legs ended in hooves, more hair grew on the chest of the beast a tail formed behind it, the wings turned into dark-gray, leathery, bat-like wings, the beast opened it's maw revealing rows of sharp, yellow teeth, it snorted purple mist came out of it's nose, when the Monster opened it's eyes the were glowing with red hatred the pentagram glowed red on it's head. (? ATK)
Geno staggered backwards the creature stared at him the hatred of the entire world seemed to be collected into the beast.
'This is Baphomet: The Sinful One.' Syn said.
Geno managed to collect himself.
'Syn that thing might very well destroy everything if it leaves the Palace, we need to stop an end to this!'
Syn replied with laughter: 'If you want to you need to destroy it, now for it's Effect once Baphomet is on the Field all other Monster I control are Destroyed then the Attack Power of Baphomet is the combined total of those Monster's Attack Score!'
One-by-one the Monsters turned into purple mist Baphomet opened it's maw to suck it all in. (?- 7900 ATK)
'Now when the Attack Power of Baphomet increases my Life Points do too.'
Syn screamed when the power of the purple mist seeped into her body.
(Geno: 1100) - (Syn: 7900)
'Any more you want to try Geno? Or do you give up?' Syn taunted the Celestian, Geno said nothing he played a card instead it materialized behind his Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon.
'Baphomet.' Syn said the demonic beast replied with a low, threatening growl.
'When Baphomet attacks for the Damage Phase it's Attack Points are halved but when Baphomet Destroys a Monster the Attack Points of that Monster gets added to it's own amount.'
Geno crossed his arms, Baphomet roared it lifted it's arm the pentagram started to glow black flames suddenly swallowed Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon.
'I activate Damage Diet!' Geno shouted a barrier appeared around him but it shattered against the powerful magic of Baphomet, the flames licked Geno's skin but he felt no pain.
(Geno: 400) - (Syn: 7900)
Geno looked behind him there stood Mario his eyes glowing white.
Syn smiled as the flames died out.
'So it seems the human woke up.' She spoke her interest was clearly piqued.
'Syn I won't let you kill Geno.' Mario spoke.
'Mario how are you awake? Our clashing magic knocked you senseless.' Geno stammered.
'I don't know Geno don't care either, it seems my magic attuned to yours, now Geno finish it.'
Syn clapped her hands.
'It matters not Celestian, the Attack Points of Baphomet rises and so do my Life Points.' The purple mist poured into Syn once again, Baphomet grew bigger from the increase to it's power. (7800- 10.300 ATK)
(Geno: 400) - (Syn: 10.400)
'Right Mario let's finish it.' Geno's Deck started to glow when he drew his card a powerful magic flowed through his body.
'First I activate my Phoenix back to the Pendulum Zone.' Geno said the mythical bird appeared back in the crystal, the Pendulum started to swing and with a flash Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon reappeared. (2500 ATK)
'I activate the Spell card: Diamond Star - Earth Tremor!'
The giant version of the Crystal Star appeared behind Geno.
'Now this gets tricky I will reveal six cards one at a time, before I reveal them I guess what type of card they are, for every card guessed right your Baphomet loses 1000 Attack Points and they get added to one of my Monster's Attack Points, should I guess all six right something happens.'
Slowly Geno took the first six cards, he looked at Mario who nodded back.
'First card Monster.' Geno stated he revealed the card it was Xiangke Magician.
'Another Monsters.' Geno said and he revealed Performapal Odd-Eyes Dissolver.
'Spell card.' He then said and his next card was Odd-Eyes Fusion.
'Monster.' Geno revealed the fourth card to be Timegazer Magician.
'Trap card.' Geno said revealing the semi last card it was Pendulum Reborn.
'Finally Monster.' Geno showed the last card which was Nobledragon Magician.'
The Crystal Star behind Geno started to grow it started to slam on the ground creating a bigger shockwave after every time, each time Baphomet got hit he became weaker. (10.300- 4300 ATK)
At the same time Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon grew stronger. (2500- 8500 ATK)
After the last strike the Star hung silent in the air.
'With six correct the Life Points of my opponent are halved.' Geno bluntly said the Crystal Star crashed on the ground launching Syn in the air.
(Geno: 400) - (Syn: 5200)
'Now Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon attack Baphomet!' Geno shouted there was no triumph in his voice, the Dragon charged forwards.
'Damage dealt is doubled because of Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's Effect.' Geno added then the dragon and the demonic beast clashed, quickly it was clear the dragon, backed by the power of the Crystal Star was way stronger, slowly Baphomet was reduced to bones then the bones were reduced to dust.
(Geno: 400) - (Syn: 0)
Syn slammed back down on the ground on her stomach, slowly she dragged herself back up when she looked up Geno stood leaning against the wall his arms folded and his eyes closed. 'Syn you surrender now, the bounty Star Heaven put on you states they want you alive.' Slowly Geno opened his eyes they were glowing.
Syn scoffed, then she started to laugh maniacally: 'Dead or alive? What is the difference? If those Celestian get their hands on me, I will be rotting in their jail for the rest of my life.' Then Syn stretched out her arm, a small dagger appeared in her hand.
'An ancient Celestian relic?' Geno muttered as he saw the weapon.
'Yes Geno, an ancient weapon, but it is infused with my magic. One cut with this dagger will instantly kill any Celestian!'
Syn had a fearless look of madness on her face, small cracks appeared in her skin, black mist seeped out of the cracks, her eyes started to glow red.
Syn first balanced on her left foot then her right foot, she took a quick glance around the room, then all of the sudden she stormed forward, she tried to hit Geno, Geno let out a sigh before he leaped out of the way, Syn hit the wall instead of Geno.
Syn turned around slashing at Geno again who dodged left and right until his back was against the wall.
'Got you.' Syn said with a grin, Geno quickly touched the wall before Syn trust the dagger forward, this time Geno ducked the dagger got caught in Geno's spell, Syn tried to pull it out but she couldn't Geno gave a powerful kick to Syn's stomach she staggered backwards, clutching her stomach while gasping for breath.
Geno leaned back against the wall next to the dagger.
'I thought you said you would kill me, one hit is all you need, how hard can it be?'
Syn spat on the ground she conjured another dagger out of thin air.
Before she could charge Geno quickly pulled the first dagger out of the wall he dodged away from Syn her dagger barely missed him with one powerful stab Geno plunged the dagger in Syn's stomach, she let go of the second dagger Geno caught it then plunged it into Syn's chest quickly he pulled daggers out then kicked Syn away.
Syn covered both wounds with her hands, she stared at Geno her eyes empty, blood started to drip from her mouth slowly she staggered backwards, Geno looked at the bloody daggers he casually threw them aside.
Syn had fallen to her knees.
'You're no Celestian as a Fallen Celestian you cannot immediately die to your own daggers.' Geno spoke then he shrugged.
'Bet you wish you could now, your magic still must hurt a lot.'
Slowly Syn rolled onto her stomach still keeping pressure on the wounds.
'You wanted me alive.' Her voice was broken, tears welled up in her eyes from the pain.
'I gave you a chance to surrender, yet you were determined to kill me, now your determination resulted in your demise.' Geno said as he turned around: 'Enjoy your last living moments, it is more than the Celestians got when you violently slew them.'
A puddle of blood had formed around Syn.
'What about your money? Don't you want it?' Syn's voice sounded weak.
'I don't care about that bounty any longer, I have passed judgment in the name of all the Celestians you killed, that is reward enough.' He motioned Mario to follow him as he started to walk he looked at Syn one last time.
'Besides the bounties on Azrael, Grodus and the Shadow Queen are more than ten times the bounty on you is worth.'
Next time:
With Syn dead the last line of defense for Sir Grodus is gone.
Mario finally gets his chance to stop what Grodus started all those months ago. ''King of the X-Nauts'' Coming next.
