Chapter 35: Pt. 4 A Spark of Fire in a Pool of Darkness

"Promise me this Yukio." Reku said as he walked to the spot across from Yukio. "Promise that when I will, All the souls you captured will be released."

"And when I win, I still get all of your souls. I agree." Yukio said pointing to Reku, "Now boy get on with your move. You and I have a duel to fight!"

"Right." Reku nodded and drew. "I summon Warrior of the White Flame (2000/0) in attack mode." The large flaming warrior appeared on the field. Fire licked off his sword as he waved it in front of his body. "Go my monster, White Flare Slash!"

The monster leapt forward and slashed the cat in half. Reku waited but he didn't see Yukio's life go down.

"My Shadow Cat goes into defense mode after it attacks directly so I have all my life points still." Yukio pulled his next card from his deck. "I set a monster in defense and end my turn."

"Fine, my move!" Reku snapped the card from his deck (1500/500). "Go my warrior attack the defense card!" Once again the monster flew across the field to attack but his sword hit something hard.

"My Zergo's Marble Wall (200/2100) is a good defense." Yukio commented fanning himself with his cards.

"Fine I set one card face down and end my turn." Reku slid the card in his hand into his duel disk.

"Huh, can't get passed me can you?" Yukio drew a card. "I sacrifice my Marble wall to summon Zergo's Rage Behemoth (2000/800)!" A muscular brute with long blood red hair covering most of its body and two long fangs protruding from its lower lip. It snarled and smoke came jutting out of its pig like nose. "Attack his warrior now!"

Acting like a large Ape the monster sprung across the field and grabbed the warrior by the arm. He also grabbed one of the warriors legs. Lifting him up the Behemoth slammed the warrior down on his head. Cracking sounds were heard as the monsters skull broke. The Warrior of the White Flame lay motionless on the ground and then faded away.

"My move." Reku could barley stand to hold his gut after hearing his monsters skull break apart. He could only imagine the brains inside being squashed. Reku drew a card. "I defend with this monster and end my turn." A hologram appeared on the field.

"Okay, but stalling is pointless." Yukio pulled a new card from his deck. "Attack Rage Behemoth! Behemoth Slam!" Flying across the field the red furred monster slammed down on the defensive card. It flipped over to reveal a mechanical jar with a large green eye. "Cyber Jar!"

"Yep, and now it will take all monsters on the field and allow us to summon more after drawing five cards." Both players picked up the top five cards off their deck and looked at them. A huge smile spread across Reku's face as he saw one of the monsters. "I summon one monster face down and my Gren Maju Da Eiza (?)" The large red and green snaky creature appeared. It clenched its claws together and roared as a bright yellow light flooded over it's body. The attack power of the monster skyrocketed (6000/6000)!

"Yea, well I defend with three monsters and my turn is done." Three brown cards appeared on Yukio's field.

"Good," Reku drew a new card. "Better play it safe, can't lose any more life points." "Gren Maju attack the middle card!" Slowly the snakish creature moved across the field. Loud cracking sounds could be heard as it opened it's claw to strike. One slash, and the card was torn into four pieces.

A twisted smile spread across Yukio's face. "Good, you just happen to attack Zergo's Terror Shadow (100/100). When it is destroyed it takes all monsters on your field that are face up of the same attribute. Since you only have one I take your large, foul, thing." He pointed to Gren Maju as it slowly disappeared into shadows.

"No, he was my chance at winning an advantage." "Fine, Yukio I am done with my turn," he pointed at Yukio, "but I am not done with you."

"Oooh, listen to those scary words." Yukio, making a fake girl voice, mocked. Yukio snapped the new card from his deck. "I sacrifice my two down monsters to summon Zergo's Man Slayer (2600/1900)!" The large brute looking monster wearing nothing but a tattered pair of pants. It's body looked human but it's face was solid round. It had two eyes that had dark blue aura around them. A hatch that covered it's mouth and long pointed ears. Smoke came from behind the mask as a growl could be heard. "Attack that monster." Yukio pointed to the face down card.

"Good think I still have some hope, isn't it?" Reku picked up the card and showed it to Yukio. "It is something known as UFO Turtle (1400/1200). When it is destroyed I get to pull a fire monster out of my deck and summon it."

Slipping his deck out of its slot, Reku preceded to search for a card. Once he found it he grabbed it out, reshuffled his deck, and slipped it back into place. He then placed the card on the field.

"I summon Flare Ninja (1500/1200)." A ninja covered in red and black clothing appeared. It pulled out a small dagger and threaten the Man Slayer with it. "When Flare Ninja is summoned I get to summon Flare Samurai (1500/1200)." A Samurai also wearing red and black armor appeared. It unsheathed its sword and pointed it at the Man Slayer.

"Fine, your monsters mean nothing to me, I place one card face down and end my turn."

"Well they should," Reku drew his card. "because they can gain the power to take out your monster. I activate my trap, Two Man Flamethrower!" A large gray machine appeared on the field. The Ninja and Samurai jumped over to it and picked it up. It took both of them to do it. "This trap turns into an equipment magic card that works on two fire monsters. It will combine their attacks and defenses together then add 500 attack to that (3500/2400)."

"Okay, that can't come that cheap, what's the catch?"

"Simple, they are now one monster. They must work together, they die together, and can only be sacrificed from now on as one monster." He looked at Yukio "And it is what is going to beat you. Go attack Zergo's Man Slayer with Flame Throwing Madness!"

The monsters aimed the flamethrower at the large monster. They both pulled back on the trigger to the machine shooting a stream of fire towards the towering monster. Hitting it dead in the chest, the monster grunted as the flame slowly caught it's body on fire. It didn't take long for the monster to blow apart.

"Bravo," Yukio whipped sweat off his forehead, "You destroyed that but I am still going to win. Don't you see? Zergo monsters can't fall, they are the best!"

"Try again, if they are the best, then how can my monsters are better? I end my turn at that."

"Yea, yea. You talk a lot of crap but you can't win and you know it." Yukio pulled his new card from his deck. "I place one card face down and one monster in defense mode. End turn now." Two new cards appeared on Yukio's field.

"That the best you got?" Yukio shrugged. Reku snapped one card face down. "Place one card face down and attack your defense monster! Flame throwing Madness!" Shooting another stream of fire the face down card was burned to a crisp.

"To bad I reveal Zergo's Savoir. I discard one card to save all Zergo monsters that were destroyed. I return them to my field in attack mode. Return Zergo's Cyborg (1500/1700) in attack mode." A large humanoid machine appeared on the field. It had a wolf like face with glowing red eyes.

"I end my turn." Reku bowed his head in shame as he failed to destroy all of Yukio's monsters.

"Well, I have took pity on you long enough." Yukio drew his card. "I activate Zergo Cloning Machine. For one turn I get an exact duplicate of one Zergo monster on my field with 1500 attack or less." A second Zergo's Cyborg appeared next to the first one (1500/1700). "Double offer to summon my true beast. The spawn of hell itself. I summon Zergo (3500/3500)!"

An eruption of flames shot up from the middle of the arena. A shadowy figure emerged from behind the wall of fire. It's deep dark blue skin could be seen behind the long black robe which it shielded itself with. The blood red eyes glowed and a red aura flowed around them. They seemed to be piercing Reku's body. Blood stained Fangs came from an upper lip and twisted themselves into evil grins.

"No..." Reku started up in disbelief. He was trying to not let this happen.

"I'm not done yet. Activate trap Decimate a Monster. I get to destroy on monster on the field. I choose...Zergo himself!" The large monster disintegrated and was replaced with a more evil version of itself. Two long devil horns coming out of its head. The cape was gone revealing long, silver and black colored wings. Its long razor sharp claws that were on it's hand were now longer and blood stained. It let out an ear piercing howl. "Welcome back my true monster. I love it when you appear, Zergo's True Form (4000/4000)!"

"Shit."

"By the look on your face I see that you realize that you have lost. So I will destroy your final monster with Vortex of Hell!" Yukio pointed to the monsters holding the large flamethrower.

Opening its mouth, Reku could smell a very foul smell. A large fire ball formed in it's mouth. It started to spin and finally shoot out in a tornado fashion. Instantly incinerating the two monsters and the large gun, it proceeded to push Reku back off the stage and to the edge of the Shadow Realm.
