Chapter 34: Final Fight of Destiny Pt. 1
"Go Vampire Lord! Attack now!" Gurabe ordered as the green haired monster ripped through a shadow beast just as it was about to hit Ryokurio.
"Thanks," he said as he pointed to his Phantom Dragon Drake. "Attack now! Phantom Blast!" A stream of smoke erupted from the dragon's mouth as it destroyed an attacking beast.
Kai stood in a corner with his Shadowknight Dragon blasting at all the oncoming beasts. Ripping them apart was easy but they were greatly outnumbered. Although the numbers were great they were still to weak to mean anything.
"Attack!" Kai ordered and more streams of black fire shot out ripping through the army.
Chaos laughed and turn to face the group as they came into the chamber. He ran his hand through his red hair and closed his eyes.
Reku, Ronin, and Akina all just stood and watched him in a long silence that was only broken by Chaos's evil chuckles.
"Chaos I take it." Ronin started to walk across the room towards the man. He suddenly stopped as Chaos stopped laughing and glared at him with cold blue eyes.
"Crystal holder of Sapphire. How do you do?" Chaos asked then focused on the other two behind him. "And Crystal holders of Ruby and Amethyst. How is life treating you?"
"It was a lot better before some evil madman threatened the world." Reku snarled. "We had normal lives. Now I am not even sure if this is real."
"A lot has happened to you and your friends." Chaos turned and touched the crystal. Streams of light were emanating off the surface and giving the room a bright, colorful appearance.
"And our problems have been because of freak shows like you and your little minions." Akina said from her spot next to Reku.
"Don't you see the plan. It is right in front of you." Chaos asked turning around. "This crystal came to this planet over 10000 years ago. It fell here, in this realm. It power is unmatched by anything on this planet. You are all mere amateurs to the power it possesses." Chaos leaned his back against the crystal and crossed his arms. "This will help me take what I want."
"WHAT!" All three of the kids snapped at Chaos. He didn't even flinch at the sudden outburst.
"Getting snappy with me won't get you what you want. Didn't you see what I did to the castle all by myself."
All three of them gulped thinking of the destruction they saw when they had arrived.
"This world is plagued with weaklings. Only the strong should survive." Chaos stood up straight and pulled out the Onyx Crystal card. He held it out towards the kids. "I wish to make a race of super powered beings like myself. Then I can conquer this world, our world, and every other world out there."
"A super army!" Akina gasped and covered her mouth with her hands.
"Right. Only ones with a strong will can survive the crystals power. Crystal holder of Ruby, Reku Yamashita, you have felt the power of more than one of these crystals at once. You too Crystal holder of Sapphire, Ronin Endo. If I remember you two were locked in a battle that could have destroyed the world if it would have continued."
"SHUT UP!" Reku barked, "That was a cheap set up by Tal!"
"That was entertaining though." Chaos chuckled
"To you maybe." Ronin glared at him. "You weren't the one out there battling for the life of ones you care about!"
"Actually, Chaos." Reku held his hand up to Ronin's chest to get him to stop. Chaos looked at Reku confused as to what Reku was thinking. "I hear that you did have someone you loved. Order said that she married you once and she tried to stop your evil plans."
"Aw yes, Kimberly did once try to stop me. She is a wench that got in my way. I just wish she would learn to stay dead." Chaos looked down at his crystal card and moved it up to his face. "Now though, the time for talk is done. We need to finish this now. I can't have you in my way anymore."
Just then Joe and Kevin came bursting through the doors and ran up behind Reku, Ronin, and Akina. They glared at Chaos as they came closer to the group.
"Hey! Looks like the Crystal holders of Hematite and Jade, Joe Peterson and Kevin Hunter have decided to join us. That is lovely." Chaos said in a mocking pleasant manner. "It doesn't matter though. I challenge all the crystal holders to chose. I face a one on one match in the game you call Duel Monsters."
"A duel!" The five kids looked at each other. There eyes were wide with confusion.
"Didn't you think that I could duel?" He asked as the shadows formed around his arm. It created a pure black duel disk that was just the shape of one.
"I should go." Ronin said. "I am the leader of Team Zero."
"True, but at the same time I wish to face this low life." Reku said glaring out of the side of his eye at him.
"We would too." Kevin and Joe added.
"So let's draw for it." Akina offered and pulled out her deck. "Traps beat Magic, Monster beats trap. For monsters we go off attack power. Redraws if we have more that one set of magic or traps."
"So we leave it to fate?" Joe stated the obvious but still pulled out his deck.
"I'll start." Akina said shuffling her deck. She pulled the top card off and flipped it around. "I got Monster Reborn. Looks like I won't be facing him."
"Me next." Kevin said as he shuffled up his deck. He also pulled the top card off to reveal Breaker the Magical Warrior (1600)."
"Okay." Joe said as he pulled a card off his shuffled deck. "I got Gallant Armored Warrior (2400)." He smiled seeing that he was on top of attack scores.
Ronin took in a deep breath and slowly removed the card off his deck. Flipping it around a smile crossed his face. "I pulled Levia-Dragon Deadalus (2600). Looks like I will face him unless Reku ties me with his Barrel Dragon." He said looked at Reku who was calmly shuffling his deck.
"I don't know about that Ronin." Reku calmly held his deck out at arms length. With his right arm he slowly lifted it over his deck and closed his eyes. "Either way, win or lose, we must stop Chaos. We must have faith and let fate decide which one of us is the best choice to take him on. Come on now." His hand came to rest on his deck and he slowly lifted the card off. Without opening his eyes he flipped it over so every one could see.
Gasps came from every one in the circle as the card was revealed. Nobody had even though about Reku pulling that card from his deck.
Opening his eyes he saw that monster. A card that had the most attack power in his deck. "I have draw Mechanoid Chrome Guardian (2800)!"
"So have you decided on a duelist yet?" Chaos asked impatiently as he shuffled up his own deck of cards.
"We have." Reku said turning around to face Chaos and reshuffling his deck. "I will be your opponent in this match." Reku declared as he shoved his deck into the slot for the deck.
"Remember Reku, you can't screw up." Ronin reminded Reku who really didn't want to hear that.
"Right, no pressure at all." Sarcastically he shot back. His duel disk hummed and snapped into place. "Let's go Chaos."
"DUEL!" echoed across the room from the mouths of the two competitors.

"Feel this shadow magic!" Chaos bellowed as the shadow realm engulfed that group of kids in a matter of seconds. But this time it seemed different. Purple energy pulses flowed through the sides of the shadow bubble. Auras could be seen around every one in the shadow realm. The aura was of the color of the crystal he or she possessed.
"Shadow duel." Reku said looking around.
"Yes, by my shadow magic is far stronger than you have ever felt before. Watch as I start us off!" Drawing his six cards off his deck he slapped a monster down onto the field. "I summon Chaos Hell Beast (700/400)." A large red beast with three large off center eyes and five mouths appeared in front of Chaos. Reku's eyes widened at the sight of the beast.
"That thing I saw!"
/Flashback/
/Walking inside, the cave was beautiful. It got brighter the farther he went inside. Crystals hung everywhere and casted weird reflections of the walls. Walking farther he came to a long stone bridge. It extended past a large pool of lava. He could barley see the other end but he could tell that there was another platform at the other end. He was going to start walking until he heard a noise.
Siting in a little cave that sat by the stone walkway was something. It was big and red in color. Reku walked over to it to see what it was. It appeared to be a creature but what kind, Reku didn't know. Reaching out, Reku touched it. It's skin was ice cold and really rough.
Instantly after touching it, three large off center eyes opened. Five mouths opened and roared at Reku who jumped back. This creature stood up on its three legs and roared again. It had no arms of any sort but arms were the least of Reku's worries. The creature started to take chase. Reku had no choice but to take off running down the stone bridge./
/End Flashback/
"I met it when I came to this world the first time."
"You did?" Chaos smiled and slid another card into his shadow disk. "I set one magic or trap card face down and end my turn."
"Draw." Reku announced as he pulled a card off his deck. "Activate magic card Holy Fire. As long as it remains face up on the field at the end of my turn, if I have no monsters on my field, I get to pull a fire monster, that is also a pryo monster, from my deck and special summon it. Next I set two more cards face down and end my turn." He pulled out his deck and thumbed through it quickly. "For my magic card I pull out Flare Ninja (1500/1200) in attack mode! With him comes Flare Samurai (1500/1200)."
The two warrior monsters that were never separated appeared in front of the Holy Fire magic card. They were decked out in red and black clothing and armor. Holding daggers and swords they crouched down into a battle stance together.
"Good move." Chaos complimented as a card was pulled off his deck. "You would have gotten farther if you would have attacked with a monster from your hand though. Next I play the magic card Life Cutting Buzz Saw! It will cut our life totals in half, or it would have if my down card Reversing Mirror wasn't activated. This trap works on a magic card that increases or decreases something. Like life point totals. It will reverse that effect so it doubles or life point scores!"

Chaos-8000 LP
"Next I will end my turn." Chaos said and his large red beast growled from having to wait. It seemed almost impatient with waiting.
"My move then." Reku pulled the card off his deck and added it to his hand. "I summon Burning Beast (1500/1000) in attack mode." The large red rock beast appeared next to the warrior monsters. It started glowing along with the Holy Fire magic card. "The second ability of Holy Fire activates. I can sacrifice it and a Fire monster with a Pryo sub type to destroy one monster on the field. Goodbye Chaos Hell Beast!"
It burst apart as if they were blow apart from the inside. Flaming rocks hurled through the air towards Chaos and his monster. They came out of the sky like raining boulders crushing the red beast monster where it stood on Chaos's field. Chaos himself winced when it was destroyed but smiled anyways.
"When my Chaos Hell Beast goes to the graveyard and he was the only card on my field. I get to pick up the top five cards of my deck and place them all on the field regardless of any summing conditions or activation requirements." Chaos slowly pulled five cards off his deck and fanned them out in the air above his head.
"Damn that is a good effect." Reku bit his lower lip trying to hid that he had made a huge mistake and knew it.
"I summon the eight star monster Doom Gatling Tank (2900/3000) and set two cards behind it. The other two cards are monsters I set in face down defense mode." On the field now stood a large steel tank. It was surrounded by protruding barrels of gatling guns. It's armor was shiny and reflected the shadow realm around it.
"I do have something to deal with that. Go down card Two Man Flamethrower! Equipping it to Flare Ninja and Samurai I add their attacks and defense together plus 500 attack. (3500/2400)" A large gray machine that had a hose type spray at the front of it appeared in the middle of the monsters. They both ran to it and picked it up, one monster on either side. "Go, attack Doom Gatling Tank!"
"Good try. My monster does have a special ability. I discard one card, I destroy one magic or trap card on the field." Chaos held up two cards and slid them into his graveyard. "I destroy your flamethrower and downed card."
The machine tank shot out a spray of bullets that ripped apart the two cards in a matter of seconds. When the dust settled nothing was left on Reku's field.
"Two Man Flamethrower was destroyed and when it is destroyed it destroys the monsters using it." Reku snarled at Chaos's evil grin.
"I know. My turn yet?"
"Not quite. I set one card face down and end my turn."
"Draw," Chaos yelled as the card was pulled off his deck. His two face down monsters flipped up to reveal two identical monsters. They were large dark navy blue monsters that were holding long staffs. The only clothing they had were their loincloths. "I have summoned Chaos Dudes (1000/1000)x2). When they are flipped summoned I draw two cards. I flipped two of them so I draw four cards." Four cards were snapped off his deck and he added them to his hand. He pulled one card out of his hand and slid it into his graveyard. "I discard to destroy the down magic or trap."
Reku shielded himself from the dust as his down card was blow apart from a spray of gatling gun shots. He moved his arm slightly when the dust settled just in time to see the three monsters advancing towards him.
"ATTACK DIRECTLY!" Chaos bellowed across the field. The two staff wielding monsters flew across the field and hit there staffs across Reku's shielding arms. This sent him flying to the ground screaming in pain. Then he was flung backwards even farther as a slew of energy bullets pummeled his body.

"I thought you were going to challenge me." Chaos snapped the cards in his hand together and looked almost disappointed. "That was pathetic. If I hadn't helped you out before you would have lost right there."
Reku's body laid motionless on the ground, a puddle of blood was forming under him from the injuries that he has sustained. The duel hadn't but just started and he was already out for the count.
"Are you going to get up boy? Five minutes, then I win by default." Chaos held up his right hand showing five fingers.
"I should have been the one to challenge him. I knew it." Ronin growled in his mind. He glared at Chaos who stood unwavering from the devastating blast. Ronin started growling deep in his throat but stopped when he heard a groaning sound. Looking down at Reku he saw his best friend pulling himself up slowly.
"Ch..aos!" Reku's weak voice shot out with determinism. "You will...never...win!" Reku stood up but wavered back like he was going to fall over again.
"How in the hell!" Chaos's eyes widened in surprise. "Any human would be knocked out for weeks from that kind of an assault in this place."
"Finish your move." Reku said slowly trudging back up to his dueling spot.
"Fine then, if you are really determined to continue. My Doom Gatling Tank has been on the field for two turns so now he is destroyed and removed from play. I end my turn. Your turn Crystal holder of Ruby."
Reku slowly pulled a card off his deck and smiled at what he saw on the picture. "I set this card face down on the field and summon for my monster Reflect Bounder (1700/1000)!" A large red demon machine appeared on Reku's field. It revealed it's hands and face to show mirrors all over its body. "Attack Chaos Dude number one now. Mirror Blast!" Reku pointed to one of the demonish monsters and Reflect Bounder shot out streams of of light from all of the mirrors on it's body. Being engulfed in the light the first monster disappeared from the field.

"I...,end my...turn." Reku spit out as he stabilized himself.
Chaos growled under his breath. "He actually came back and is fighting me." Smiling though Chaos drew his next card. A psychotic look flashed through his eyes. "I sacrifice my last Chaos Dude to summon Hell Axer Knight (2000/1800)." A large monster in pure black suited armor appeared on the field. It's eyes glowed in a evil blood red aura. Holding back its long wicked looking demon axe. The axe itself had to be at least a foot taller than the monster and the monster was about seven feet tall. "Attack Reflect Bounder!" Chaos ordered and the monster flew across bringing its axe down on the monster leaving a glowing cut straight down the monster vertically. It exploded in a brilliant flash of light and the knight flew back to Chaos's field.

"Wait, how did I lose 2000 life points!" Chaos demanded to know as he looked at his shadow disk.
"Simple...,Reflect Bounder...decreases your...life by the...attack of...a monster that...attacks...it." Reku spit out then coughed up some blood that flew out and splattered along the floor.
"Fine, go down trap card." Chaos pointed to his face down card. "Temptation Wind! We both get to search our decks for one card and add it to our hands." He pulled out his deck and found the card he wanted at the bottom of his deck. Reku had to search a bit for the card he wanted. "I know you searched for your Crystal card. As did I." Chaos said and pointed to his other face down card.
"And your...point?"
"Go Sealing Hand Box!" A large box appeared off to one side of the field and opened up. "When we add a card or cards to our hands outside our draw phase this turn we must place them in this box that is removed from play for five turns. We have five turns to build up or field to use the powerful crystal cards."
"Go to..." Reku almost fell forward but caught himself before he collapsed. "hell...you bastard!" The crystal was Reku's one chance to take controal of this duel and Chaos had just destroyed his plans.
"End turn. If you can still stand then I guess it can be your turn." Chaos mocked as he saw Reku almost fall over again.
"Holy crap, this is a lot harder than any other shadow duel I have been in." Images of his duel with Yukio in the final match of the World Tournament flew through his head. "Thank you Yukio. I may not have been able to stand after that if I never had that duel with you."
When Reku came to he was on his knees watching the blood trickle to the floor beneath him. He was gasping for air and his vision was blurring.
"Face it kid." Chaos called form the opposite end of the field. "You aren't up to this yet, and once you surrender, you will have all eternity to rest your soul in this place." Chaos's head whipped back in evil laughter the echoed throughout the shadows. "I have more power than you will ever know!"

There, Chaos has almost all original overpowered broken cards. But that is ok. He is evil after all.
To John: Really? Thank you.
To Darksoulki:Well duels take up space and with two of them that is a very long chapter.
To dragon master13: No but I had to stop every so often to stretch my fingers. After the duels were typed all I had to do is chop them together.
To LucienShadowMaster: Wow you have a lot of questions. That is good, a good reader should ask questions about what is coming and what things mean.
