"Darkness Absolute"
By: Von Stupor
Chapter 13
"I draw…" stated Yami, doing so. "I shall play 'Change of Heart' on Deathliger, allowing me to use him during my turn, and I'll target Zagaan, Knight of Darkness!"
The two monsters faced each other and stared hard. They each pulled their swords from their scabbards at precision speed, but Deathliger's smashed through its opponent's and sliced clean through his armor, felling him. Deathliger returned to Serban's side of the field as Von Stupor began his turn.
"I shall summon the Nimble Momonga to the field!" he called as the rodent appeared before him. "Go, my creature, and attack Dolimus's shields directly!"
"I'll first activate 'Call of the Haunted' to bring back my Metalzoa! Are you sure you want to attack?" he shot back.
Von Stupor pulled a coin from his cope and flipped it. Staring at it in his hand as it landed for a moment, he turned and said, "I'll think I'll just go with my gut instinct for the moment."
"Then I'll begin. I order my Metalzoa to attack your Nimble Momonga and end my turn!"
The metal horror slashed at the squirrel and easily cut it clean in half.
"I draw," announced Serban. "Yami, you may think you have a valuable defense, but I know better. While I have the chance, I shall attack your shields directly with Deathliger, utilizing his 'Double Breaker' ability, which destroys two shields in one attack!"
The chimerical beast lunged at Yami and with one mighty swing, destroyed his last two shields.
"Now neither of us has any shields left!" spouted Von Stupor in fear.
"I know," agreed Yami, drawing. "I'll set one M/T card and end my turn."
Von Stupor mimicked Yami's move.
"This card…" said Dolimus, staring at his former friend. "I don't want your defeat to be by my hands, Yami… but I refuse to just let you take my life! I will use Metalzoa… to…" His eyes were glassy with sadness. "I'll attack you directly!"
The Metalzoa ran toward Yami fiercely, gnashing its teeth with every thundering step.
"I activate 'Negate Attack'!" Von Stupor cried as loud as he could.
A barrier appeared in front of Yami just as the metallic terror reached him. Its force sent the beast stumbling backward, back to its spot in front of Dolimus's shields.
"We must end this now!" yelled Serban. "I'll use Deathliger to attack you directly, King of Games!"
"I'm not defeated just yet!" Yami shouted in defense, and activated 'Magical Cylinder'. "I shall direct your Deathliger's attack right at Dolimus's remaining two shields!"
"No! My son!"
The great beast lunged at Dolimus, and again, sliced his two shields clean in half. Now, a direct attack at any duelist would result in defeat.
"I draw…" said Yami, staring forlornly at his completely dried deck. "I'll set one monster, that ends my turn.
"It is done!" Von Stupor shouted aloud upon seeing his next card. "I'll first start by playing 'Giant Trunade'! This returns all spell or trap cards back to the owner's hands!"
"That cannot help you now, you fool! Deathliger will crush you in the next turn!" Serban criticized him.
A giant wind rushed through the house's open roof, blowing all spell and trap cards along with Serban's mana back to the respective owners' hands.
"'Tis not my entire move! I shall now safely play the magic card, 'Metamorphosis'! This allows me to sacrifice one monster from the field to special summon a fusion monster of the same star level, and my set monster is… Thousand-Eyes Idol!"
The Thousand-Eyes Idol popped out of the ground and began to pulsate, clutching its upper body in pain. It grew and gradually transformed into the mighty Thousand-Eyes Restrict.
"That thing looks like… no, it can't be!"
"Father, that is the evolution of Relinquished, the Thousand-Eyes Restrict! It prevents all other monsters from attacking!" Dolimus informed him.
"Not that accursed creature again! Damn it all!"
"Now," announced Von Stupor. "I shall absorb Deathliger, Lion of Chaos!"
The monstrosity inhaled Deathliger after a brief struggle.
"Now, I order you to attack Serban directly, my monster! Go! Absorption Beam Attack!"
The Thousand-Eyes Restrict charged up its eye and shot a laser of energy, which, starting from upward, shot down Serban's left collar bone and down to the crotch of his legs, severing his entire body in half. His two halves fell over in a heap.
Instantly, the fog around everyone disappeared and the house was returned to normal before the damage from the duel. Dolimus ran to his father and collapsed on top of him, crying aloud.
"Wha?" grunted Von Stupor in confusion. "The duel, it…"
"It ended," Yami finished for him. "It only called for one loser, and Serban lost…"
"Son…" wheezed Serban to his collapsed son. He was hardly understandable. "Son, don't become weak, you must stay strong to protect our kind from extinction… However, I don't have long, so there's something I need to tell you."
"What?"
"Dolimus, you are a half-breed… Your mother… was human!"
Dolimus froze in place.
"You are now free from the curse… I am sure you can figure out the rest… And now, I am about to depart. Now go!"
Serban pushed his son off of him with his remaining arm and pulled from his pocket a small device. He cried in agony with every motion he made. He then began to chuckle lightly.
"Well fought, King of Games… But I must protect my son and my secret… Farewell…"
With his last ounce of energy, he pressed the button on the device, and loud explosions were heard by all in the room.
"Fatherrrrrrrrrr!" screamed Dolimus to his father who now lay lifeless on the floor.
The entire house began to rock all of a sudden and bits of ceiling came sprinkling down. Dolimus refused to look up from his father's figure.
"A bomb! We must escape from here!" cried Yami.
"What of Dolimus?" asked Von Stupor.
"He has to stay here… with his father."
"You…" Dolimus growled, getting back up and staring at Von Stupor. "You killed my father…"
"I… but… eh… Packrat did it?" he mumbled nervously.
"You killed my father! I'll kill you, you bastard!" screamed Dolimus and dove at Von Stupor.
Von Stupor rose his hand to fire a blast at the lunging vampire, but Dolimus was on him too fast. Von Stupor was quickly tackled to the ground. Dolimus raised a hand to swing down on Von Stupor when he was shot back by a magical blast from the mask itself. Dolimus skidded across the ground and manipulated his trajectory so that he landed on the wall, and used his legs to spring back at Von Stupor.
"Dolimus, stop this!" cried Yami.
Von Stupor dove and rolled out of the way and pulled a mouse ball from his cope. He threw it at Dolimus, who sidestepped it. It flew and smacked Yami between his eyes, promptly doubling him over, clutching his face.
Von Stupor rolled to the side and shot a blast at Dolimus, who ducked under it and shot back at Von Stupor, landing a solid straight into his stomach, followed by a right hook to the jaw line. Baron Von Stupor wobbled to the side and ultimately fell over. Dolimus waltzed over to him and jerked him up by his cope, whereupon the zipper busted and sent Von Stupor sprawling to the ground once more. He quickly rolled and shot a blast up at a surprised Dolimus, who was knocked back about five or six feet and fell over.
The walls began to come down around the three men, crashing heard echoing in the distance. Ceiling pieces came raining down, creating overlapping clouds of smoke and debris.
Dolimus roared and charged at Von Stupor, full speed. Before he could react, Dolimus tackled him clear through a wall and into another room.
"Von Stupor!" Yami called, starting to chase after him. Just then, a rafter from the ceiling fell out and crashed to the ground, barring his path.
"No!" he cried, and tried to lift it. Just then, the entire wall collapsed into itself, blocking Yami's route completely. The upper floor began crumbling and collapsing, and the columns supporting the ceiling were beginning to crack apart.
As Yami looked on in shock, he could see blasts of violet light shining through the dark cracks of wood and drywall covering the doorway followed by Dolimus's continued roaring.
"I have to get in there!" Yami cried and pulled with all of his might at the wood, but it refused to budge.
In desperation, Yami turned and ran from the house. He stopped a safe distance away and watched in utter horror as the entire building imploded.
"Baron Von Stuporrrrrrrrrrr!" he screamed after a moment of disbelief and ran into the billowing cloud of dust once more to search for his comrade.
For a half hour he searched under rubble and found not a trace of either Von Stupor or Dolimus. Shortly thereafter, police cars began to arrive.
