Legends of the Demon Duelist-Chaos Arc
Chapter 27: The Ultimate Zombyra; A true hero
"No jokes…" Ken held up his arm, and his duel disk. "Are you ready to finish this?"
Deondre nodded slowly and looked down at his deck. "Don't expect for me to be in trouble this time."
Ken drew. "It's my turn first! Draw!" Glancing at the drawn card, he slapped it down. "Zombyra the Dark Hero!" (2100/500) The bone-armored warrior appeared on his field.
Deondre narrowed his eyes. ("Zombyra…I've got a score to settle with you.")
"I set two cards face-down and end my turn." Ken and Zombyra both motioned for Deondre to come and try them.
"Draw!" Snapping the top card off of his deck, Deondre added it to his hand. "I offer one card from my hand to special summon The Tricky!" (2000/1700) A strange yellow spellcaster with a question mark for a face appeared on the field. "Then I set two cards face-down and end my turn."
Ken drew. "I play the magic card Hero's Heart! By cutting the attack of Zombyra in half for this turn, it can attack twice. Also, I play the field magic card Skyscraper!" (1050/500) Huge buildings exploded up all around them. "Finally, the magic card Negative Removal! Now Zombyra can attack players directly, where as before his effect stopped him from doing that. Zombyra…Ultimate Strike!" The warrior leapt through the air and charged down at The Tricky. (2050/500)
Deondre threw up his arms as Zombyra slammed its fist through his spellcaster, and then it punched him right in the gut.
Deondre- 2900
Ken- 4000
Zombyra landed on Ken's field and its attack returned to normal. (2100/500) "End turn."
"My turn, draw!" Deondre pointed at his set cards. "Reveal Magical Calculus! This card returns one spellcaster from my graveyard to the field for every turn it has been in play. However, for every turn it has been in play the special summoned monsters will have their attack cut in half once! Revive The Tricky!" (1000/1700) The yellow spellcaster reappeared. "Also, I summon the Dark Triple Team!" (1000/1000) A trio of odd-looking little beasts in all black clothing appeared on the field.
"I hope you have better than this, because so far I'm not impressed." Ken closed his eyes. ("Revenge will be mine.")
"I don't care if you are impressed or not!" Deondre held up another card. "Activate the magic card Dark Magic Nova!"
"But you only have two spellcasters in play!"
"You'd think that, but my Dark Triple Team counts as three monsters for effects! So now…" The three beasts charged up little balls of energy, while The Tricky did the same. "All together now….three….two….one!" (4000) The blast rocketed across the field and slammed into Zombyra, blowing it apart.
Deondre- 2900
Ken- 3100
Ken braced himself, and then pointed at his set card. "Reveal Hero's Revival! This trap card will return Zombyra to the field!"
"Oh really?" Deondre pointed at his other set card. "Go Dimension Removal! This card will remove one monster from the graveyard and give me a 500 life point boost!"
Deondre- 3400
Ken- 3100
Deondre pointed at Ken. "Like I said…this time I won't be in trouble!"
"We'll see about that!" Ken drew. "Reinforcements of the Army lets me search my deck for one level four warrior monster. Zombyra the Dark Hero in attack mode!" (2100/500) Another of the bone-armored warriors appeared. "Also, I play the magic card Mystical Resurrection. This card requires I have no cards in hand. If so, I can take back the top magic card of my graveyard! Hero's Heart!" (1050/500) Zombyra flipped through the air and punched the Dark Triple Team, blowing it apart. (950/500)
Deondre- 3350
Ken- 3100
Zombyra slammed its fist into The Tricky's face and blew it apart. (1950/500) (750/500) "End turn." (1700/500)
Deondre- 2400
Ken- 3100
Deondre drew. "Apprentice Magician (400/800) in defense mode and one card face-down." Something about this felt different. It was like when he looked upon Ken…he saw someone he had met in the past. "End turn…"
Ken drew. "Reverse card open! The magic card Zombyra's Thunder Fist can be activated if I give up one card from my hand. Whatever monster Zombyra destroys during this turn will lose its effect. Also, Zombyra can deal damage through defense as well." Zombyra launched forwards and drove its knee into the face of the Magician, blowing it apart. "Finally, this card will also return Zombyra to full strength at the end phase of this turn. End turn." (2100/500)
Deondre- 800
Ken- 3100
Deondre drew. ("Who is this guy?") "What's your full name?"
"It isn't important." Ken pointed at Deondre. "Now continue!"
"Fine. I play Pot of Greed." Deondre drew two cards and placed one onto his disk. "I set one card face-down and one monster is defense mode. End turn."
Ken drew. "I also play Pot of Greed. Go Zombyra!" The warrior yelled out a battle-cry and leapt…
Deondre pointed at his newest set card. "Go D.D. Ring! This trap card activates when a monster on my opponent's field attacks. The attacking monster is removed from play!" A glowing ring of prismatic light appeared around the waist of Zombyra and the hero disappeared.
Ken growled and slid a card into his disk. "Hero's Tears! This magic card can only be activated when my opponent destroys a Hero monster during this turn. Now you cannot attack for three turns!"
Deondre drew. "So what? I reveal my face-down Purge Magic! This magic card will destroy all floating effects, but it will also remove my battle phase as well. Now I play the magic card Swords of Revealing Light and end my turn." Glowing green swords of light slammed down onto Ken's field.
Ken drew. "The final hope…Zombyra!" (2100/500) The third bone-armored hero appeared on the field. "Then from my hand I play Heavy Storm! All magic and trap cards will now be destroyed!" Skyscraper and Deondre's Swords of Revealing Light both disappeared within a huge windstorm. "Go Zombyra! Attack the set monster now!" It leapt forwards and punched the set monster, blowing it apart. (1900/500) "Also I set one card face-down and end turn!"
Deondre looked down at his deck…and then drew. "What's your problem with me? Tell me!"
"My problem is that you ruined my father's life!" Ken clenched his fists and screamed in anger. "I hate you!"
"I see." Deondre held up the drawn card. "Card of Demise lets me draw until I have five cards in my hand!" Snapping five cards off of his deck, he slid one into his disk. "Now I activate the continuous magic card Soul Absorption. Whenever a card is removed from play now I will gain 500 life points!"
Ken eyes flicked to Zombyra. "I won't let you destroy him…"
"We'll see! Activate Magical Shadow!" Deondre held up his Swords of Revealing Light magic card that he had removed from his graveyard. "I remove one magic card from my graveyard and search my deck for a magic card with same name, except that one word can be different. Go Swords of Concealing Light!" Swords made of black light slammed onto Zombyra and is vanished, replaced by a set monster card. "When played, this continuous magic card remains in play for two turns. All monsters on your field go into face-down defense mode and all monsters you summon cannot switch modes as long as this card is in play."
Deondre- 1300
Ken- 3100
Ken's eyes started to twitch. ("No…")
Deondre slid another card into his disk. "Activate Nobleman of Cross-out! This magic card removes a face-down monster on the field from play!" A man in shining armor appeared and slashed the set Zombyra apart.
Deondre- 1800
Ken- 3100
"Go Dark Magic Curtain! This magic card lets me pay half of my life points to special summon the Dark Magician!" A bone-framed curtain appeared on his field and withdrew to reveal his purple-robed spellcaster. (2500/2100) "Dark Magician, Dark Magic!" Lifting its staff, the spellcaster released a blast of magic that hurtled towards Ken.
"Reverse card open! Negate Attack!" A swirling vortex appeared and swallowed up the blast.
Deondre slid his last card into his disk. "I set one card face-down and end my turn."
Ken's hands fell to his sides….and he started to tremble. "You cannot win…I won't allow it!" His arms snapped up and he drew. "From my hand I play the magic card Lost Hope! This magic card will only activate when there are three Zombyra the Dark Hero in my graveyard! Now I can special summon Ultimate Zombyra; The True Hero!" (3500/2100) The being that appeared on the field looked just like Zombyra….but it was surrounded by a glowing aura of energy. "When this monster is summoned all magic and trap cards in play are sent to the graveyard!"
Deondre pointed at his set card. "Emergency Provisions lets me send my two continuous magic cards to the graveyard to gain 2000 life points!" Now he only had his Dark Magician, but at least his life points were recovered.
Deondre- 3800
Ken- 3100
"Zombyra! Revenge Strike!" The warrior head-butted the Dark Magician and blew it apart. "But don't think that you are safe! When Ultimate Zombyra destroys a monster he deals that monster's attack in damage to your life points!" Zombyra dealt a flurry of punches to Deondre's mid-section and then landed back on Ken's field. "End turn."
Deondre- 300
Ken- 3100
Deondre coughed up a few drops of blood, and slowly came to his feet. ("Damn…that hurt.") He drew slowly. "Why won't you tell me your name?"
"Because I have no name." Ken and Zombyra both pointed at the dog demon. "My father is someone you should remember all too well. His name is Clarice."
"Clarice has a kid?" Deondre's eyes nearly bugged out of his head. "Your dad was nuts long before I met him! Why are you blaming me for this?"
"Because I could have brought him back…but you just had to defeat him during the Shadow Tournament didn't you? Thanks to you, he became obsessed with having to defeat you! Do you know what it is like to live knowing your father is obsessed with defeating someone like you? I was barely even recognized by him…in fact, he barely even knew I was around most of the time! Now you will pay!" Zombyra cracked its knuckles and waited patiently.
"So that's it…" Deondre drew. "I set one monster in defense mode and end my turn."
Ken drew. "You're done! Zombyra!" The hero front-flipped through the air and brought its feet down through the set card. "Now you take damage equal to your monster's attack points!"
Deondre caught Zombyra's fist and head-butted the hero back when it leaped in to strike him. "My monster had no attack points! It was a monster named Magical Pigeon!" (0/300) "When destroyed as a result of battle I draw two cards. If either of them are monsters I discard them." Sliding two cards off of his deck, he smiled and shrugged. "Both magic cards. Sorry."
Ken trembled and opened his field magic card slot. "Chaos Dimension!" All around them the air warped and turned prismatic. His hand swung and he rolled a single white die that bounced around and landed on a one. "The attack of my monster increases by 500!" (4000/2100) "End turn!"
Deondre looked down at his deck. "It ends here. Whatever happens now will determine which of us keeps our soul. And just to let you know….I'm sorry for what I did to your family. No, I don't expect forgiveness…but know that I am sorry." He drew. "I play the continuous magic card Bond Removal."
Ken narrowed his eyes…
"Go Breaker the Magical Warrior!" (1600/1000) A scarlet-robed warrior holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other appeared on the field. "When summoned Breaker gets a magic counter equipped to him. This counter raises his attack strength by 300 points!" (1900/1000)
"It doesn't matter. Me destroying an attack mode monster with Zombyra means that I win anyway." Ken clenched his fists. "You lose!"
"Breaker's special ability lets me remove the counter to destroy one magic or trap card on the field! Chaos Dimension will now be destroyed!" Breaker released a curved blast of energy from its sword that hurtled into the air towards the prismatic lights.
"Chaos Dimension cannot be destroyed, you stupid fool!" The light shimmered and the blast stopped in the air. "Now Breaker's effect will eliminate one magic or trap card on your field!" Like a scythe the energy turned and slashed through the Bond Removal card, blowing it into dust.
Deondre pointed at Breaker, who was now glowing. "When Bond Removal is send to the graveyard, all restrictions to one monster's abilities are removed for this turn. Also, this monster can now attack twice."
"And? Breaker can't hopefully kill Zombyra." Ken felt that something was wrong here…and then he realized what is was. "No…."
Deondre slid the last card in his hand into his disk. "Go Legendary Weapon Card Shattering Fang!" A huge fang-shaped sword fell into the hands of the warrior. "This raises my monster's attack points by 1000 and once per turn I can send one magic or trap card to the graveyard each turn!" (2600/1000) "Breaker! Eliminate Chaos Dimension!" The magical warrior slammed the sword into the ground and a wave of energy that tore across the ground. It slid to a stop and then launched backwards towards Breaker, slamming into the Shattering Fang and blowing it apart. "When Shattering Fang is sent to the graveyard ten counters are placed onto one target!" Breaker's body was now limed with energy. (4600/1000)
"4600?" Ken stared at Breaker…and then at Deondre. "You…"
"Sorry, but my son's future depends on me winning. Breaker!" The warrior leapt forwards and slashed through Zombyra, blowing it apart.
Deondre- 300
Ken- 2000
"I'm not done yet…" Ken braced himself…and then saw that Breaker was still standing in front of him.
"Bond Removal lets my monster attack twice!" Breaker's sword slammed into Ken's shoulder.
Deondre- 300
Ken- 0
Ken fell to his knees and pounded the ground at his feet. "Damn you! I will never forgive you for what you…did…." His soul-less body collapsed to the ground.
Deondre stepped forwards and looked down at the son of Clarice. "I don't expect you to."
To be continued…
To Seth: Was this better than people talking?
To Seeker of the Soul: Rikuo is never cocky…..err……..yeah, that's a lie.
To Gryphinwyrm: Naw, your Monarch chapter wasn't what inspired me to have Mobius and Thestalos face off.
To Adriel: Do whatever you will for your story. It's becoming too hard for it to stay in canon with mine. As for the helicopter, it was bought my Ryu. He made sure it could carry all that weight.
