Chapter 49: Chaoslord Rises!

Shisei looked directly at the black blade as it approached and his lips curled into a smirk. "Gotcha! I activate Magic Cylinder and reflect your attack right back at your LP!" Shisei pointed to two gigantic cylindrical objects which absorbed the power from the attack with one and blasted the attack back at Kamishiro with the other.

"I activate my facedown card, Angelic Safeguard to protect me from your fool hardy move!" Kamishiro shielded himself as the force of the blast hit two angel wings which had appeared and folded around him defensively. "Then I end my turn." Kamishiro stated with a growl.

Shisei's shoulders slumped as Kou blinked away the illusion his mind had created of Shisei losing all his LP and falling to the floor. "HEY! You had me worried, why didn't you play that card sooner!" Kou asked with a glare at Shisei.

"Sorry Kou, I thought if I waited I could throw him off!" Shisei placed a hand behind his head and laughed for a moment before coughing up more blood.

"It's okay, I understand." Kou said, seeing his friend was in pain he drew and looked at the card with a smirk. "Okay, now let's play a game! I activate the magic card: Reasoning!" A man in a turban suddenly appeared with a set of eight cards facedown in front of him. "Now you pick a level star of monster, then I draw until I meet a monster. If it's the level you choose, then I just wasted a draw. But if your wrong…" Kou smirked as Kamishiro glared. "Then I can special summon the monster I draw, and I choose to target Osmos with this card!" Kou pointed a finger and the cards began to shift as Osmos closed his eyes in thought.

"I select….Level four!" Osmos yelled. Kou nodded and the fourth card began to glow as he drew.

"What do you know? First draw!" Kou looked at the card with a smirk and flipped it over so everyone could see his favorite monster. "I now summon, Total Defense Shogun (1550/2500) in attack mode!" Kou's monster was a mighty general of defense with a blade as tall as he was. He appeared on Shisei's field with his blade protecting him. "And I special summon him on my partner's field, since your guess was so off!" Kou smirked and a facedown monster appeared on his own field. "Then I set one monster in defense mode for my turn to end!" Kou stated. Osmos rolled his eyes.

"That was completely pointless, trying to save your friend from his demise. Especially because I still hold Miraculous Draw and Convulsion of Nature!" Osmos looked down at his deck slot in his duel disk, ready to declare the name of his next card. However, he soon realized that was impossible as thick black chains had ensnared his disk.

"You won't be finishing anyone off. I activated my trap card, Time Seal which stops you and your combo cold." Shisei said. eyes narrowed but he slid another card into his disk.

"Sneaky sneaky, but I'm afraid you'll have to do more than that to stop me, I activate one of my facedown cards, Stray Lambs!" his newest card brought two scapegoat like tokens, one pink and the other green. "Now I set one card facedown and end my turn." Osmos finished rather lamely.

Shisei looked at his opponent's field. Kamishiro had a powered up Angel of Dark Rebirth (5000/0). Then Osmos had two set cards and two lamb tokens (0/0) on his field. Then Kou had a set monster. Shisei took a deep breath and drew. 'Alright! Say goodbye to your beautiful combo Osmos!"' Shisei slid the card into the disk. "I'll bring forth some tokens of my own. Say hello to Scapegoat to begin my move, then I play a trap card, Blade Storm!" Osmos raised an eyebrow as thousands of blades began to circle his and Shisei's field, which was populated by four goat tokens.

"What is the meaning of- MY FIELD CARD!" Osmos was about to ask about the effect before his field card was cut from the disk and his field and all of their decks returned to normal position.

"Guess what Blade Storm does? It destroys one magic or trap card so long as I sacrifice a monster, or I could destroy one monster on your field at the cost of one magic or trap on mine. Pretty cool huh?" Shisei laughed as Osmos realized the problem with this.

"No, now if I guess wrong then I lose 1000!" Osmos growled as Kou punched his fist into the air with the obvious triumph.

"Looks like your strategies are falling apart." Shisei smirked and motioned for Kamishiro to draw. "You can finish your move and me and Kou will waste you next time!" Shisei finished.

Kamishiro drew and looked at the card with the most evil smirk possible. "Now it's time to heat things up, I play summon Dunames the Dark Witch (1800/1050) in attack mode on Master Osmos's field." A beautifully dressed pale skinned woman with a staff appeared before Osmos and his goats. "Now my Angel of Dark Rebirth (5000/0) will attack a Scapegoat." The dead angelic creature rushed forward and slashed a token in half with the black blade it carried. "Finally, I set one card facedown and play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Master Osmos's Miraculous Draw." Kamishiro bowed as Osmos smirked.

"Yeah, so what? You may have saved Osmos for a turn, but I'll tear into his LP soon enough!" Kou drew and Osmos laughed and pressed a trap activation card on his duel disk.

"Your very foolish to challenge us boy, we have a purpose and you don't. So behold my facedown card: Acid Trap Hole!" Kou looked at Osmos in puzzlement as his set monster was suddenly enveloped in green acid. "Now here's how it works, you flip your monster and if it's defense is 2000 or less then it goes to the graveyard. And considering the defense of most warriors, that thing will be weak enough!" Osmos tossed back his head and laughed as Kou smirked and flipped his monster.

"Nice try! Reveal…BIG SHIELD GUARDNA (100/2600)!" The giant shield that had appeared was quickly followed by a purple shirted muscular man the laughed at the acid which tried to eat through his boots.

"Your pathetic if you think your soul is worth more than mine!" Kou yelled and Shisei frowned.

"What do you mean you have a purpose?" Shisei continued.

Kou blinked and looked at his best friend in question. "What do you mean, they want to keep their souls as bad as we do, that's their purpose," then he turned to Kamishiro and Osmos suspiciously. "isn't it?" he gulped waiting for the answer as he one card and ended his turn stealthily.

Osmos's lips curled up into a cruel smirk and he slid a card into his disk. "I am willing to sacrifice my own body, my own soul to revive Master Thalius! His power will consume the world in the true Kingdom of God! Now behold one of his faithful creatures!" Osmos began and Shisei gasped.

"Your going to revive someone that wants to replace our world with what he calls Heaven, am I about right?" Shisei asked. Osmos nodded and the Shadow Realm seemed to become darker as his monster glowed bright and disappeared for a sacrifice.

"Behold my mightiest monster! I sacrifice my Sheep tokens and Dunames to bring forth the Devil of White Reincarnation (2400/0) in attack mode!" The newest monster to the field was a pure white man with horns erupting from his head and long, sharp claws attached to his fingers. "This beast not only mimics the effect of Kamishiro's monster, but it also will allow us to summon the strongest beast to wipe you away!" Osmos slid two more cards into his disk.

"Umm, Sei, any bright ideas?" Kou asked he heard Chiro growl at the beast that had appeared as Osmos continued his move.

"Now I activate: Item Synthesis! This card states that I remove from play one equipment magic card on the field and take another from my deck!" Black Soul Sword blew apart and it's remnants were scattered to the depths of the Shadow Realm. "Next comes Forced Fusion!" Osmos and Kamishiro smirked at the same time as their monsters began to swirl together. "This is how it works. You both select a monster and the others are destroyed first," Shisei frowned as his Scapegoat tokens were blown to pieces. The others only had one monster on their field so they were safe. "Now your two monsters and our two monsters will be force to combine. If no fusion is possible, then your monsters will be blown apart." Osmos laughed and the two monsters on Kou and Sei's field began to wail as his and Kamishiro's spun together to form a new monster.

"Oh crap!" Shisei blocked himself as the shadows began to rumble with power.

The new monster had two long, black, extremely sharp looking wings. It wore a robe with the word "death" written in as many languages as you could think of. The body was that of a man with long spiky hair and blood red eyes. His hands were decaying claws and a spiked tail rose from his robe to his wings. "Now you shall face your defeat! I have brought to the field: God of Divine Resurrection (5000/5000) this is it for you fools!" Osmos and Kamishiro joined together in laughter as Kou smirked and Shisei slumped down in defeat.

"This is the end, is it?" Kou smirked and his monster began to stop moaning and swirled together. "Well I have a fusion too, and it's going to wipe you out! I summon to the field: Absolute Defense General: Big Shield (0/5100) in defense mode!" Kou clasped his hand together in triumph and Osmos looked at the defensive monster in horror. "Go on, try and attack, We'll stick up for each other and I can switch the control to Sei if you do!" Kou laughed and Osmos gave him a look of pure and complete loathing.

"This isn't over yet, I end my turn." Osmos looked over at Shisei, who drew more freely.

Kamishiro-3600

Kou-2600

Osmos-8000

Shisei-600

"Um, Kou, what happened to your LP?" Shisei asked worriedly. He looked over at Kou after seeing the LP score and gasped. "KOU! Are you alright!" Shisei tried to rush to his best friend but he was exhausted from the shadow game as well.

Kou coughed up some blood from the sudden decrease in LP and weakly smiled as he stood up. "I have to pay 2000 LP to keep the General (0/5100) in defense mode." Kou said and breathed deeply.

"Okay, I draw then!" Shisei did so and looked at the card with a frown. "I set this card facedown and end my turn." Shisei finished and took a huge gulp of air, nervous about Kou's decreasing LP score.

Kamishiro laughed as he drew his next card. "You fools! The power of our monster will be able to tear into your LP soon and there isn't anything you can do!" Kamishiro and Osmos both laughed hardily at the General Big Shield (0/5100).

Shisei glared. "We won't lose!" he said. Kou looked at his hand and gulped.

"Sei," he said. Shisei looked over at him. "I need one more card to finish this combo, can you hold them off until I draw it?" he asked, looking at Shisei . Shisei's eyes went wide and he gulped.

'This is it, can I hold of Osmos and Kamishiro at the same time?"' Shisei wondered to himself. He looked at the fearful monster on his opponent's field and nodded. "Let's finish them!" He said.

"You fools cannot defeat us, it's a complete impossibility." Kamishiro rolled his eyes and motioned for Kou to go without even placing one card down. "I have no move so I must end my turn." he stated, obviously annoyed.

Kamishiro-3600

Kou-600

Osmos-8000

Shisei-600

Kou drew with determination. 'Please, this is my…our last chance!"' Kou felt the extreme pressure as he placed his blood covered hand onto the deck slot and the next card he would draw.

'Don't forget, we'll love you even if you lose….You may not be able to tell considering our souls will be harvested like organs and thrown out into the bitterness of the Shadow Realm, but hey, who cares about details?"' Chiro smirked weakly at his counterpart.

'Thanks, no pressure huh?"' Kou couldn't help but smirk at his friend's attempt at humor at such a time. 'Pleaseeeee!"' he prayed one final time before drawing his card. He kept his eyes closed shut for a moment, but then reopened them to see the card he needed. He smirked and his field magic card slot slid open. 'Alright, if this works we've pretty much won!"'

"Kou? Are you ready?" Shisei asked. Kou nodded and the blackness around him exploded into thousands of heads of demons talking behind a veil of what looked like the insides of one very large demon.

"Yeah, and I'm about to finish this. First off, I activate the field magic card: Pandemonium! Next, I summon the Warrior of Zera (1600/1600) in attack mode!" Kou's new warrior leapt from it's card and steadied its blade with a look of evil surrounding it. "Now I sacrifice Warrior of Zera to the field magic of Pandemonium and Special Summon: Mazera Deville (2800/2300) in attack mode now its effect states you discard three cards randomly from your hand , so discard your equipment card Osmos!" The warrior was replaced by a dark demon which chose to hide itself behind the wall of Pandemonium. Osmos growled and discarded his single card. "Now here's where it gets interesting!" Kou smirked and Shisei gulped.

"You don't seem to understand what "unbeatable" means boy!" Kamishiro growled. Osmos shook his head, an amused look on his face.

"No Kamishiro, we should give these pathetic excuse for duelists a chance to win, after all, they don't have to much longer before we can tear them apart with a Kuriboh!" Kamishiro snickered as Osmos motioned for Kou to continue.

"Okay, I activate: Mystic Recycler!" Kou took an ejected card from his graveyard and shuffled it into his deck. "Now I place Warrior of Zera back into my deck and draw a card. If the card I draw is of the same type (magic, trap or monster) as the card I reshuffled, I can replay the reshuffled card!" Kou shuffled his deck and took a deep breath. He drew. Looking at the card he smiled slightly. "Oh well," he began. Osmos laughed and Shisei slumped. "I have to discard such a good monster as Buster Blader!" Kou flipped the card he'd drawn around and revealed the Buster Blader. Osmos's smirk had gone crooked and Kamishiro looked like he was going to explode. "Now I summon Warrior of Zera (1600/1600) back to the field! And normally, Mystic Recycler would end my turn, but by what Sei drew…" Kou turned to his partner and Shisei pressed his trap activation button.

"I activate Sacrifice to Time and Space! Whenever a card states anything that may change the field or turn count abruptly, hence the effect of Mystic Recycler, I can tribute a monster and take direct damage equal to it's attack points in my LP to negate the effect! Say good bye, General Big Shield!" Shisei smirked as his LP score suffered no loss, but he lost his only monster defense. "Finish them, Kou!" Shisei smirked.

"Alright, now that I can finish my turn, I'll sacrifice the reborn Warrior of Zera and Special Summon… Archlord Zerato (2800/2300) in attack mode as well." Kou smirked and Shisei felt giddy, expecting Kou to discard a Light monster and activate Archlord's effect. But Kou instead removed his monsters and placed another on the disk. The being that had appeared previously was a white angelic beast and it countered the darkness well, helping the Sanctuary in the Sky. "This is it, the moment you've been waiting for! You see, when Darkness and Light converge, they create a new element, one that is complete Chaos!" The beasts that Kou had just summoned began to converge and mix together until they exploded in light and darkness. The new monster that emerged into the black sphere had seven long wings, a dark helmet covering it's face and armor along with. "You see, when I offer both Mazera Deville and Archlord Zerato while Temple of Chaos Magic is on the field, I can special summon… CHAOSLORD MAZERATO (4600/4000) in attack mode!"

"NO WAY!" Shisei looked at Kou's newest monster in awe. "That thing came out of a warrior deck!" he asked the air. Kou smirked and flashed the thumbs up at his best buddy.

"This is it for you! I set one card facedown and end my turn." Kou smirked and Osmos laughed.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! Is this all? That thing has 500 attack points to low to beat my God of Divine Resurrection (5000/5000). You can't possibly expect to win! Attack his monster my God!" The larger and more powerful beast on Osmos's field rushed forward with an explosion of force and power, ready to kill.

"You never stood a chance." Kamishiro shook his head sadly and Kou shielded himself behind his duel disk as the beast approached to take a chunk out of his LP and his and Shisei's last chance for the win.
