Chapter 42 Truth and Consequences
While walking to the next gate, Hana and Mark now know everyone in the present, but they are shocked to learn about Reiji and Reira.
"So Reisho, you have two more siblings, huh?" Mark asks.
"Yeah. Kinda ironic that Ray and I also got a new mother as well, though I wonder where our former mother is..." Reisho says.
"I am sure that you will be able to find her soon." Hana says with a smile, much to their confusion. Then Yuni asks, "By the way, do you know who the Dark Signers are?"
Hana says, "Well, the one we are heading to, the Lizard mark is Lisa, the Whale Mark is Rin, and the Humming Bird and the Vulture are Condor and Aera. But the Spider and Hands are unknown to us."
"I see…" Yuya says, he knows that Vivian is the one with the Hands, so there is only one mark that they don't know, the Spider Mark.
Once they arrive at the Lizard Gate, Katrina says, "Now it is my turn to duel...and I know who my opponent is going to be..."
Yuzu says, "You're right."
Just then, a cloaked figure comes and says, "I have been waiting for you." She takes off her cloak and reveals herself.
"Lisa…" Katrina mutters. Shun, Ron, Jean, Yuto, Rumi, and Ruri are shocked to see her even though they already know the truth that she becomes a Dark Singer, but still, they can't believe it."
"I see not only Kurosaki Shun, but even Ron and Jean are also here as well, huh?" Lisa says. "It sure has been a while."
"Why did you do that to Rumi and Ruri back then?" Ron asks. "They have nothing to do with you at that time."
Lisa says, "They are still Shun's family, at first I only wanted to get revenge on him. But thanks to Katrina here, my focus is now her."
Katrina grits her teeth as Aki asks, "What happened?"
Yuya says, "Long story short, she is from the same city as Ron and Jean, she tried to kill Ruri and Rumi, who is the counterpart of Yuzu and Yuni here. And it is thanks to this incident, Katrina is forced to reveal that she is a half Vampire to the Heartland...and then after saving the two of them...she goes out of control..."
Yuni says, "And then she killed her...just like the Vampires we saw in the horror movies..." This causes gasp to those who don't know the truth.
Lisa says, "What they said is true indeed. But it doesn't matter to me. To fight a monster like Katrina, I'll have to be one and this time, I'll beat you." She activates her Duel Disk.
Katrina says, "And I'll not let you hurt anyone in present." She also activates her Duel Disk.
"Field Magic Crossover." As the platforms appear, Katrina asks, "You're not going to do the shadow game?"
Lisa says, "I can activate it whenever I want. But first, let me have my fun."
"Fine." Then they yell, "Duel." (Lisa:4000)(Katrina:4000)
"The first turn goes to me." She draws the card. "I activate Field Magic: Musical Dinoland from my hand!" As the card appears, she says, "Once per turn, I can summon a Musidino Monster from my deck to the field."
"So the Field Magic is here..." Katrina says.
"I summon Musidino: Clear Do by using the effect of my field. (ATK:2100/DEF:1500 LV:5) If we draw a Monster Card during the Draw Phase, Clear Do's effect will force us to shuffle that card back into the deck. That restricts 1/3 of your cards."
The red dragon with the note appears on the field, and Katrina says, "But that doesn't include the cards already in our hands."
Ron says, "If this is the same Lisa that we know, she likes to use her monsters to restrict drawing cards."
"And with the effect of Musical Dinoland, she doesn't need to worry about being unable to summon monsters and defeat her opponents." Jean adds.
"So her deck is very tricky..." Yuzu comments.
"I set two cards and end my turn." Lisa says.
"So she is using the same trick...My turn." After she draws the card, she says, "A monster card..."
"How unfortunate, Clear Do's effect disallows the drawing of Monster Cards." Lisa says with a smirk.
Katrina shuffles the card back into the deck and says, "It doesn't matter to me. I summon Blood Sucker Heal Bandage." (ATK:1700/DEF:2000 LV:4)
As the monster appears, she says, "With this effect, I have four cards in my hand, so I can draw 4 cards from my deck to my hand."
"What?" Lisa is surprised.
Hana says, "So she can draw cards...that is clever."
"Indeed." Reisho says.
Lisa curses and says, "Great, now my trick won't work..."
Katrina says, "With the Scale 2 Blood Sucker Crazy Clown and Scale 6 Blood Sucker Unshown Mask, I set the Pendulum Scale!"
A Clown that has a white face and looks creepy along with a person behind a mask with no face appears on the field, with 2 and 6 under it.
"I use the Pendulum Effect of Crazy Clown, I can double my Mask's scale!" (Scale:6-12)
"With this, I can summon monsters from 3 to 11! " Katrina says.
As the red pendulum swings, Katrina chants, "Now born from the darkness, come with the swing of night time and appear for a hunt! Pendulum Summon! Come forth! Bloody Rose Dragon!" (ATK:2500/DEF:2000 LV:7 PS:4)
As the red-colored dragon appears with a roar, Lisa thinks, "She doesn't have these monsters before...but I have a plan..."
"Battle! I use Bloody Rose Dragon to attack your dinosaur! Blood Cut!" Katrina yells as the dragon shoots out petals that are just like scissors.
"I use my trap card, "Quiet Dinosaur. With this card, I can negate the battle and give you damage equal to half of the DEF of your monster." Lisa says as Katrina gets hit by the attack. (Katrina:4000-3000)
"How do you feel now, feel the pain, huh?" Lisa asks.
"Compared to a battle from before, this is nothing." She says.
"A battle from before?" Mark asks. "What does she mean?"
"I guess it is the time when she tries to open Aki's heart..." Yuni says. "After all, she couldn't control her powers back then."
Hana says, "So Katrina was being just like Yusei, huh? History sure repeats the same."
Yuzu asks, "What did you mean?"
Reisho says, "Oh, you do need some explanation." And then he tells the group what happened and Ray says, "Seriously? That was just like when she got her Singer Mark..."
Yuya says, "Yeah, but now the mark is on Katrina. And if you didn't notice, it is actually the same as before as well...the same marks dueling each other. The Dragon Feet versus the Lizard Mark..."
"You're right. That is really strange." Yuni says.
Katrina says, "I set one card and end my turn."
Lisa says, "Now let me show you the true pain you inflicted on me. My turn."
As she draws the card, she says, "I draw a monster card." She shows them as she says, "Even though I return it to my Deck, I can still summon this one using Musical Dinoland's effect. Come forth! Musidino: Shine Re. (ATK:2100/DEF:1500 LV:5) If a card we draw during the Draw Phase is a Magic Card, the effect of this monster will force us to shuffle that card back to the deck."
The second monster is an orange one with the note Re on it, but it is glowing.
"Magic Cards are also restricted...But the same conditions would apply to Lisa as well." Katrina says.
"Battle, I attack your Heal Bandage with Shine Re!" Lisa says.
"I use Bloody Rose Dragon's effect! You can only attack this monster!" Katrina says.
"Not going to happen, Continuous Trap: Invisible Sheet. I negate the dragon's effect and when this card is on the field, your Bloody Dragon can't activate its effect."
Shine Ray shoots lights as Katrina is forced to cover her eyes. (Katrina:3000-2600)
"I set one card and end my turn." Lisa says. "Even though you have that effect, I still can torture you."
Jean says, "Lisa, why are you keen on torturing Katrina and Shun? What did they ever do to you?"
Ron says, "Yeah, you also tried to kill Rumi and Ruri as well."
Lisa closes her eyes and says, "At first I didn't want to do it as well." She looks at them and says, "It is true, I got rejected by Shun after I confessed. I am jealous of you guys as well to be close together. But it is because of that accident that drives me crazy."
"Accident?" Shun asks.
"Now start your turn." Lisa says.
Katrina says, "Fine." She draws the card and both dinosaurs don't growl. Lisa says, "What luck. You pulled a Trap Card, I see."
Katrina looks at the card and says, "I summon Tuner monster Blood Sucker Dark Bat!" (ATK:1400/DEF:1300 LV:4)
As a brown bat with little fangs and wings appear, Lisa says, "Tuner..."
"I use its effect. I can special summon a monster from my deck. I summon Blood Sucker Howling Wolf!" (ATK:1300/DEF:1800 LV:3)
When the wolf appears, Katrina says, "Now I tune my Level 3 Howling Wolf with Level 4 Dark Bat. Chilling flames engulf the entire world. Pitch-dark flower, set into bloom! Synchro Summon! Appear now, Dark Red Rose Dragon!" (ATK:2400/DEF:1800 LV:7, PS:2)
As the dragon appears, strong winds start to appear as the marks glow. Crow says, "She also has a Synchro Black Rose Dragon as well?"
Aki says, "It is different than mine."
Katrina says, "By using the effect, I can destroy all the cards on the field! Dark Rose Gale!"
As the dragon starts to shoot out petals, Lisa says, "Before you do, I use my Dark Pendulum Monster, Musidino: Roar's effect from my hand! I negate the effect and send this card to the Pendulum Zone."
As the dino appears and has a scale of 7 underneath, Reisho says, "So that is her Dark Pendulum Card..."
Katrina says, "Then I use my face down, Force to retreat! I switch Clear Do into DEF mode."
As the dragon switches into DEF, she says, "Then I banish my Healing Bandage in my Extra Deck to activate Dark Red Rose Dragon's effect! I can switch one monster's DEF mode into ATK mode and makes it ATK0. Dark Binding Bloom!"
Lisa widened her eyes as she says, "No you won't! I use Roar's Pendulum effect to negate the effect."
Katrina gets an Action Card and says, "Action Magic: Invisibility! I negate the effect, so Dark Red Rose's ATK continues."
Lisa grits her teeth as her monster are destroyed. (Lisa:4000-1600)
"I set two cards and end my turn." Katrina says.
Lisa slowly stands up and says, "Not bad, you finally manage to destroy my monster...my Dino Land's second effect, in the end phase, I can summon a Musidino Monster from my graveyard."
As Clear Do appears once more, Katrina is frustrated. "Damn it..."
"My turn." She draws a card and says, "I also draw a Trap Card. So I won't be affected. Now I use my Musical Dino Land to summon Musidino: Name Me. (ATK:2100/DEF:1500 LV:5)"
The yellow-colored Dinosaur with the note Mi appears beside Shine Re and Clear Do. She says, "If a card either player draws is a Trap Card, Name Me's effect will force them to shuffle it back into their deck."
Crow says, "What? That means none of them will be able to draw Monster, Magic, and Trap Cards."
"That is ridiculous." Yugo says.
"That is also the same as before..." Ray says as the others nod.
Lisa says, "Don't worry. I'm not that heartless. I overlay my three dragons. Xyz summon! Come forth! Musidino: Sad Song." (ATK:3000/DEF:2500 RNK:5 OVU:3)
The yellow Dinosaur with tears appears on the field. Shun says, "Sad Story...it appears..."
"I use its effect, by detaching one overlay unit, I can destroy half of your cards in your hand." Lisa says. "You have 6 cards, so you send three cards to the graveyard and I draw 3 cards."
Katrina grits her teeth as she does, then Lisa draws three cards and says, "Then I use my Magic Card: Family's Locket."
As the locket appears, Ron says, "That card isn't related to Musidino..."
Lisa says, "This card is from my father..."
"Father?" Jean asks.
(Flashback)
A depressed Lisa was walking back to her house, she couldn't believe that she got rejected by Shun. "Just what did Katrina have that I didn't..." She thought as she stepped into the doorway.
As she opened the door, much to her shock, she saw a broken window and both her parents lying on the ground with blood. Lisa was in horror as she yelled, "Mom! Dad!"
She rushed to them and tried to shake them, but to no avail, they had already died. "No way..." Lisa was about to cry until she felt a gun pointing at her head. "Don't move, or I'll kill you."
Lisa angrily asked, "You killed them...why did you do it?"
The man said, "Hand over the card, or you'll be the same as them."
"I know nothing about the card!" Lisa said as she kicked the man, causing him to scream in agony. Lisa quickly grabbed the gun and shot the man. The man then fell, dead.
Lisa then noticed that she killed a person, she kneeled and says, "What did I do..." She sobbed as then she said, "No...I have no one now..." She looked at the gun in her hand and laughed hysterically.
(Flashback End)
"After that, I vow to make everyone suffer, starting with Shun and his family." Lisa says.
"So you are blaming us for your parents' death?" Katrina asks.
"No. You don't have any clue about it, but the fact that I am the only one suffering is not fair!" She yells as she raises her hand, then she makes the lizard Geoglyph appear.
Everyone steps back as the monster appear on the field. Shun says, "I see...rejection is already a pain, and it intensifies when her parents are dead..."
Ron asks, "But why did the man kill your parents?"
Lisa says, "It is for this card. This Family's Locket. I can give 1000 ATK to Sad Song. Battle! Attack that Signer Dragon! Tears of sadness!"
The dinosaur shoots out tears and then it hurts Dark Rose Dragon. Katrina says, "I use my trap card: Sudden Dawn! I end the battle and we both get 1000 damage."
"What?" Lisa is shocked as the dawn appears and hits them. (Lisa:1600-600)(Katrina:2600-1600)
"Damn it..." Lisa says. "You are persistent. I end my turn."
Katrina says, "Lisa, I see what your pain is. But you are not alone, you still have friends to support you."
Lisa says, "Friends? Don't make me laugh. The friendship is already dead. Start your turn."
Reiji says, "So she is in denial."
"Indeed." Hana says. "I guess we really have a lot in common."
Yuzu feels Ruri's worry as she asks, "Are you okay? Ruri?"
Ruri says, "I don't think so...I understand why she tried to do that to us..."
"My turn." She draws the card and says, "I use Zombie Fusion! Due to your effect, I have two eyeing cobras in my Graveyard. So I fuse two of them from my graveyard."
"What?" Lisa says.
"Vampire killed by the sun, revive as the form of a Dragon! Fusion Summon! Come forth! LV6! Blood Sucking Dragon!" (ATK:2200/DEF:1800 Level 6 PS:1)
As the dragon appears, Lisa says, "My effect just helps her..."
"I use its effect, I gain the ATK of your Clear Do in your graveyard." (ATK:2200-4300)
"4300 ATK..." Yuni says, "Katrina can destroy the monster."
"Battle! I attack your monster! Dragon's meal!" Katrina yells.
Lisa says, "I use Musidino: Scream's effect! By setting this monster to the Pendulum Zone, I can negate the battle and end the battle phase!"
A second Dino that looks like Roar but with purple scales appears. Katrina says, "Damn it. Her settings are done..."
Lisa says, "You are trying to defeat me as quickly as possible, but you just meet your doom."
Katrina says, "I set one card and end my turn."
Lisa says, "My turn." She sees the card and says, "It's here."
Katrina says, "Lisa, you said that you don't have friends, but what about us? We are your friends!"
"Don't lie to me! The day before I start my plan, I saw you guys are laughing and talking happily! I thought I could gain your attention, but you kept ignoring me!"
Ron, Jean, Yuto, Shun, Ruri, and Ruri suddenly remember that time, they are so focused on their conversation as they fail to notice her.
Lisa says, "I don't want to hear your excuses! I use the set scale, which lets me summon monsters from except Level 4 to 7! Dark Pendulum Summon! O God which resuscitated my life, now I offer you my soul. Break free from the spell held over you for so long! Earthbound Pendulum God Ccarayhua!"
The cocoon starts to appear and it breaks free, then the green lizard appears with its eyes spinning. (ATK:2800/DEF:1800 LV:10 DPS:5)
Yuni says, "Ccarayhua...it is still very intimidating."
Reisho says, "I agree. I still can remember back in the Original Dimension, it could eat a person whole..."
"Are you serious?" Vivian asks them as they nod.
Lisa says, "I use its effect. I can attack you directly! Feel the pain of my sorrow!"
Ccarayhua starts to show his tongue to Katrina, Katrina is terrified as she says, "Trap Card: Darkness of Magic! I can destroy your trap card Invisible Sheet!"
"What?" Lisa is surprised as her trap card is destroyed. Katrina says, "Then Bloody Rose's effect activates, I change the direct attack into attack Bloody Rose Dragon!"
The big lizard then changes the attack to the dragon, it gets destroyed by a lick. (Katrina:1600-1300)
"Damn it...I end my turn. Why are you so persistent..." Lisa says.
"Because we care about you." Katrina says.
"Huh?" Lisa asks, "You're lying. You don't care about me!"
"You maybe think we are laughing, I won't deny that. But what we are doing is planning your birthday party back then!"
"What?" Lisa flinches. "What do you mean?"
Shun says, "I know I said that I can't return the feelings, but we also know your sadness, so we tried to plan a birthday party for you at that time."
Yuya asks Yuto, "Is that true?"
"It is." Yuto says.
"My...birthday party..." Lisa is shocked. Ruri and Rumi take over Yuzu and Yuni's body and Ruri says, "Even though you tried to kill sister and me, I still consider you as our friend."
"Ruri..." Lisa says.
"Yeah. Although it is not right to try hanging us on the fifteenth-floor high building, we should apologize to you. We should have been by your side when your parents died." Rumi then closes her eyes and says, "We don't care if you are now a Dark Signer or not. You're still our friend and it won't change."
"Rumi..." Lisa then asks, "Is it true? You were trying to help me feel better..."
Jean says, "It is true, please stop the battle and come back to us."
Lisa says, "I..." Then she hears a voice, "You shall do nothing of the sort."
Lisa's face starts to glow purple as she kneels. She says, "Inside of me! The God inside of me! I can...no longer stop this duel on my own!"
"Lisa! Don't give in to the Wicked God!" Ron yells.
"Katrina, please! You must...you must defeat me!" Lisa says as her eyes start to glow purple. "Defeating the Signers! That is a Dark Signer's mission!"
"Uh oh.., she is controlled..." Ruka says.
"Just like Hana..." Rua says.
Katrina says, "I'll save you, Lisa. My turn." She draws the card and says, "I use Magic Card: Enter the Vampire's castle. I destroy your Sad Story and draw two cards!"
As the Sad Story is destroyed by a coffin appearing and locks it up, she says, "Ccarayhua's effect activates, when my monster is destroyed, I can destroy all your cards on the field."
"What?" Katrina is shocked as her monsters and cards are all gone due to the lizard's tail slash.
"This is bad. Katrina can't do anything." Yuzu says.
Katrina closes her eyes and says, "Please give me the cards I need..." She draws two cards and looks at them. She smiles, "The victory is settled."
"What?" Lisa is surprised. Katrina says, "I use Scale 5 Healing Bandage and Scale 11 Vampire Princess to set the Pendulum Scale! With this, I can summon monsters from Level 6 to 10! Pendulum Summon! Come forth! Bloody Rose Dragon!"
Once the dragon is back, Lisa taunts, "What can that puny dragon do?"
Katrina says, "I use its second effect! I can banish four dragons with different methods from the field or the Extra Deck! I am banishing Bloody Rose, Blood Sucking, Black Rose, and Dark Blood!"
Four dragon rises into the air as Yuya gasps, "Could it be..."
"The Integration Summon..." Yuni says, causing everyone to gasp.
"Controlling the Four Blood Craving Dragons, the ultimate dragon who thirst for the liquid of life! Right now it becomes one! Integration Summon! Come forth, Supreme Vampire Dragon: Dracula!" (ATK:4000/DEF:4000 LV:12 PS:13)
The cape-wearing giant dragon with giant fangs appears with a mighty roar, Ray says, "She has a big dragon-like Zarc as well?"
Sawatari says, "Why do we always see the giant monsters."
Aki says, "That is the dragon that saved me from my darkness..."
"Really?" Kiryu asks.
Lisa says, "So? Even though you have a monster equivalent to mine, you can't attack my monster."
Katrina says, "Is that so?"
"What?" Lisa is shocked. Katrina uses her vampire speed to get an Action Card, she says, "Action Magic: Magic Destruction! I destroy a Magic Card, and it is the field Magic, Dino Land!"
"No way!" Lisa says as the field disappears as well as Ccarayhua's abilities.
"With this, the effect of the Earthbound God is gone!" Vivian says.
"Battle! I attack Ccarayuha!" Katrina yells as the dragon shoots out blood on the monster. Lisa is blown back by the force as she suddenly sees an illusion of her parents. "Dad...Mom..." (Lisa:600-0)
As the duel ends, Lisa is now lying on the ground as every Xyz dimension resident rushes toward her.
Shun asks, "Lisa, are you alright?"
Lisa slowly says, "Everyone...I am so sorry...I shouldn't doubt you..."
"It is okay, we forgive you." Yuto says.
Lisa smiles before turning into brown color, "Thank..."
Katrina's Pendant starts to glow, then it stops Lisa's disappearing, and the Earthbound God Card lands on top of her.
Ccarayuha forms in front of them before it disappears into the card as Rumi picks it up.
"Thank goodness..." Ron says as they are relieved that she is alive.
Lisa slowly wakes up and holds her head, she looks at everyone, who is smiling at her, and she smiles back as they hug one another.
Reisho says, "Another revival."
Hana says, "Misunderstandings always turn out to be the best endings."
Mark says, "I agree."
After Katrina finishes the gate closing, Yuni says, "That is half of them. And there is half left." She turns to Bruno, "So Bruno, which gate is the closest?"
"It should be the Hands Mark." Bruno says.
"The hands..." Vivian flinches as Yuzu looks at her in worry.
"So I guess the next one to duel is Yuni?" Crow asks. "Since all of the Signers have their turn except her."
Yuni says, "I am dueling indeed, this one is my fated enemy..."
"Sister..." Katrina mutters.
"Now let's go. We have less time left." Yuni says as they leave.
I change the effect of Ccarayhua in this chapter for a better purpose. Since the original effect needs this card to be destroyed and the only way to destroy it is to send the Field Magic to the graveyard or monster effects, which are very hard to write. And Lisa is now good, 4 more Dark Signers left, and then they will face Condor. The next will be Yuni VS. Vivian. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
