Yay! reviews! Anyway, this is the last chapter in which I will beg/ask for reviews, so just to get it over with... pppppppplllllllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeeeee review!
Okay, that's it! No more asking! (well, maybe once in a while; oh, and asking for reviews excludes saying 'RER', 'R&R', or 'RR').
Oh, and Ryu Jonesu, I'm fully aware that Sho (i'll humor u this time) technically couldn't play patroid and scapegoat on the same turn (i'm also aware that in that chappie I made an error with the cards in hand, but I'm too lazy to fix that), however, if you look at chapter 8, 3rd line, I say that I'm going to use effects differently sometimes and bend the rules to get the duel to come out how I want it. Besides, the anime/manga does it all the time.
One final thing, before you start reading (although this paragraph is completely optional and has nothing to do with the story). The other day I got a really good idea for a fanfic, but I didn't want to have two big fanfics going on at the same time, so I decided to wait until I finished this one, or got near the end. Anyway, just so I didn't forget the idea, I made the first chapter of it, which is sort of like a 'pilot' chapter. Anyway, if anyone wants to see it, just pm me! I would really like some feedback and stuff on it!
Oh wait, I'm just putting some clarification (this is really short!). The italics that you'll see as soon as you start reading it are not thoughts; they are a short recap from chapter 15 (not like you guys probably need it).
EDIT (7/18): Took away the "Chater 16:" part in the title to make the format for all titles the same.
Clash of the Titans! Part II: Rise of the Cyber Darkness Dragon
"Well, I just drew the ultimate card of your demise! Prepare to lose!" Zane shouted as Masato. "First I will play a spell known as Dimensionhole(3). This will allow me to remove my Cyber Phoenix from play until my next standby phase." Zane explained as a hole opened up and the metal bird flew through it.
Why would he do that? Masato thought. What would be the point of removing his monster from the field if it's just going to come back again?
Zane smirked. "From your expression I'm guessing that you don't know what I'm about to do. Well, I'll tell you. You see, the card I drew can be special summoned without a tribute if you have a monster and I don't."
"Cyber dragon? That's your ultimate card?" Masato asked.
"Not quite," Zane chuckled. "Close, but close doesn't count. The card I'm using is Cyber Darkness Dragon(2;2200/1600)!" Zane roared as he slapped the card onto his duel disk. A metal dragon appeared on Zane's side of the field. It looked exactly like Cyber Dragon except it was black. Then the purple sphere of the shadows began to materialize around Masato, Zane, Chiaki, Kaito, Chazz, and Syrus.
"A shadow card?" Kaito explained. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Winning." Zane stated. "Now, Cyber Darkness Dragon, attack Masato's face-down monster!" The mechanical dragon roared its head up and then fired a black energy beam at Masato's monster. When the energy beam died down, a mechanized spirit with a scythe was floating on Masato's field.
"You attacked my Spirit Reaper(300/200)!" Masato declared. "And I'm sure you remember that it's not destroyed in battle."
"Fine, fine." Zane said. "Oh, and I forgot to tell you Cyber Darkness Dragon's other special ability. He's not affected by traps that don't target, and during the battle phase he's unaffected by all traps! So don't think you can use anything like that to destroy him. I'll end my turn."
"And I'll begin mine," Masato declared, picking up the top card of this deck(3). "Hmm… Again I'll set a monster(2), but this time I'll also set a spell/trap(1), and that's it for me."
Zane smiled when he saw the card he had received(3). "I activate the equip spell 7 Completed(2)!"
"So you're going to power up your dragon to 2900 attack points?" Masato asked.
"No," Zane chuckled. "I'm going to 'power-up' your spirit reaper!"
"Oh no…" Masato moaned, taking a step back.
"Wait, why is that bad?" Syrus questioned.
"Because, slifer slacker," Chazz explained, "Whenever Spirit Reaper is targeted, even for an equip spell, it's destroyed."
"Just great," Syrus groaned. Masato's spirit reaper glowed for a second, but then just exploded.
"Next, I'll activate another spell card from my hand," Zane declared, "Magical Guillotine!" A guillotine appeared around Cyber Darkness Dragon. However, the strange thing was that there was the normal horizontal blade, but there was also a special vertical blade that cut Cyber Darkness Dragon in half the long way.
"Why are you using that against your own monster?" Masato exclaimed.
"You obviously don't know what it does," Zane said.
"So I'm ignorant. Enlighten me," Masato replied.
"Well," Zane explained as a coin materialized in his hand. "Magical Guillotine is a very unique card. First I select a monster on my side of the field, and then I flip a coin. If the result is tales, then the normal horizontal blade will come down and chop the head off my monster, destroying it. However, if I get heads the magical vertical blade will drop down, splitting my monster into two lesser monsters. Now… let us see what shall happen!"
Why would he risk destroying his monster just for two lesser versions? Masato wondered as the coin landed on Zane's palm and Zane quickly covered the coin with this hand. He removed his hand to reveal the side of the coin that had an Egyptian eye on it. "And that is…?"
"Heads," Zane answered, smiling. The horizontal blade disappeared, leaving the vertical blade the drop. After the blade fell, as the two halves fell from the blade, the other half of both halves regenerated, creating two smaller Cyber Darkness Dragons(1600/1300 x2). "Now, for the final card in my hand, I play Polymerization(0)! Fusing my two dragons to create the Cyber Twin Darkness Dragon(3000/2200)!" A portal appeared, sucking in two smaller Cyber Darkness Dragon. Then a giant Cyber Darkness Dragon with two heads slithered out of the portal as the portal disappeared. "And remember the effect my normal Cyber Darkness Dragon had on traps? This one has it on traps and spell, and can attack twice like the normal Cyber Twin Dragon! Now, attack Masato's face-down card!"
"Activate trap, A Feint Plan!" Masato shouted. The two heads launched a beam at Masato's face-down card, which was protected by an invisible barrier. Suddenly the invisible barrier broke and the card was destroyed.
"Don't you remember?" Zane laughed. "My dragon isn't affected by traps, not even ones like that! Now, attack Masato again!"
"Oh no," Syrus said as Cyber Twin Darkness Dragon began to charge its laser. "If this and Cyber Phoenix's attack goes through, Masato will lose!" The dragon fired its laser at Masato, but a transparent redhead girl rose up out of the ground and blocked the attacked.
"What happened?" Zane asked.
"You had just attacked my Unhappy Maiden(0/100)! When you destroy her, your battle phase immediately ends!"
"Fine," Zane said. "Make your move."
"That I'll do!" Masato shouted as he drew his card(2). When he saw it he faintly smiled. "I set a monster(1) and that's it for me."
"Your moves are getting more pathetic with each passing turn," Zane said as he drew a card(1). "This will work nicely. I activate Card of Sanctity(0), so we each draw until we have six cards in our hand!" Zane drew six cards(6) while Masato drew his five(6).
"Ooh… I really hope Masato got some cards to help him defend him some more!" Chiaki said.
"What do you mean?" Syrus asked.
"What I mean," Chiaki replied. "Is that although neither of them have lost lifepoints, or barely any lifepoints for that matter, but Zane really has Masato on the run now! Unless Masato can get things to help stall, Zane will overrun him! I mean, his monster is immune to spells and traps! Masato needs to defend now, not attack!"
"Now it's time to really seal your fate!" Zane cackled. "First I activate De-Fusion(5), to change my Cyber Twin Darkness Dragon back into two Cyber Darkness Dragons! I then play Premature Burial(4) to summon the original Cyber Darkness Dragon back!"
Masato: 3950; Zane: 3000
"Finally," Zane said, "I'll activate my other Polymerization(3)! Fusing my three Cyber Darkness Dragons into the powerful, the ultimate, the unbeatable, CYBER END DARKNESS DRAGON(4500/3000)!" A portal appeared a sucked in the three Cyber Darkness Dragons. Then a cyber darkness dragon with three heads that took up almost all of Zane's side of the field stepped out of the portal. "And his spell and trap immunity has now been increased to all effects, and the has the defense piercing like the normal Cyber End Dragon! Just try to beat him! Attack Masato's face-down monster and end the game! Well, of course that's only if your monster has more than 1550 defense."
"My monster has less than 1500 defense," Masato said.
"But Masato!" Chiaki cried. "You'll then lose! No!"
"Don't worry," Masato said. "I won't lose." The giant dragon charged up its three lasers, and then sent a giant energy beam at Masato's face-down monster. The card shattered, but it had also absorbed the black so Masato took no damage.
"What card did you use this time?" Zane angrily asked.
"Winged Kuriboh!" Masato answered as Zane growled. "But don't thank me, thank Jaden! He's the one who showed me how great this card can be!"
"Just go," Zane said.
"Thank you, I will," Masato said, drawing a card(7). "First, I set a monster(6), and then I set two spell/traps(4), and then I end my turn."
"Well, it seems you now have more cards to set now because of my Card of Sanctity," Zane said as he drew a card himself(7), "And now I'll activate my spell, Nobleman of Crossout(4) to remove your face-down monster from play!" A sword appeared and slashed through Masato's face-down card, which turned out to be Sangan(1000/600). A smaller sword then appeared and quickly slashed through Zane's deck, destroying his Sangan. "So now, Cyber End Darkness Dragon, attack Masato directly and end this duel!"
"I doubt it!" Masato shouted. "I activate my first face-down card, Enemy Controller!"
"My dragon isn't affected by effects! Your card won't do anything!"
"Who said I was using it on your dragon?" Masato asked. "I'm using it to change your Cyber Phoenix to defense mode!"
"My wha?" Zane asked as his Cyber Phoenix covered its body with its wings. He had almost forgot about it. "So? What will that do?"
"It will do me plenty!" Masato said. "Because I activate my other face-down, Magical Arm Shield! So now I can use your Cyber Phoenix to defend me!" A shield with an extendable arm appeared in front of Masato. The hand then stretched out and took control of Zane's Cyber Phoenix and brought it to Masato's side of the field. Cyber End Darkness Dragon let out a huge blast at the Cyber Phoenix, destroying it.
Masato: 1050; Zane: 3000
"However," Zane interjected, "Because Cyber Phoenix went to my graveyard, I'm the one who gets to draw a card(5). And I'm tired of you constantly getting lucky draws and surviving each turn, so I'll end it with this card! End Nova Blast(4)! Normally, I could only activate this when I have a Cyber End Dragon on the field, but Cyber End Darkness Dragon can work the same way! And this card can destroy all cards in your hand!" Zane's monster let out an energy beam at Masato, but instead of hitting him it only hit his hand, sending it to the graveyard(0). "I think I'll end my turn here."
"Oh no! What will he do?" Chiaki exclaimed.
"He'll draw, doofus," Chazz said.
"Good idea, Chazz!" Masato said. "I think I will draw a card(1)! And now I think I'll do it again, with the card I got, Pot of Greed(0)!" Masato took the two cards from the top of his deck and then couldn't believe what he had gotten. With these two cards I can win! I can beat Zane! But then… when he comes back he'll have more of a vengeance, and will try to defeat me again. And instead of just threatening to kill someone, he might… go all the way. I can't let him do that. When Kaito surrendered, he was able to avoid losing a soul. And even if the shadow game has already begun, maybe doing the same thing will end up with the same result… "Zane," Masato began, "I can defeat you. I just wanted to let you know that. However…" Masato paused, looked down at the ground, put his hand over his deck, and then looked up at Zane again. "I surrender."
Original Cards
Magical Guillotine; Spell; Select one monster on your side of the field and flip a coin. If the result if tails, destroy the monster. If the result is heads, tribute the monster and special summon two tokens to your side of the field. The name, attribute, type, and level of the tokens are the same as the tribute monster. The ATK and DEF of the tokens are equal to half the ATK and DEF of the tributed + 500, respectively.
End Nova Blast; Spell; You can only activate this card when you have a "Cyber End Dragon" face-up on your side of the field. Destroy all cards in your opponent's hand.
Well, that's it! Masato lost the duel! Anyway, I'm just warning you now, next chapter won't have a duel. Anyway, RER!
Zane: Yes! I won! I knew I could do it! But wait... Masato really did have the cards to beat me. But that means that I actually lost... but Masato still lost his soul, just because of me... What have I done? I have got to reverse this, and set things straight! I'll do it next time on Chapter 17: Aftermath
