77. Release of The Lux Gods! Goddess of The Tide!
Kyu's eyes twitched from the rising sun. He remembered the horrific events from the other day as he opened his eyes. He could still hear Dameon's devilish attitude within his mind, it bothered him. It was a moment he would never forget through out his life.
As he woke up, he noticed Hide and Yukie were gone. He ran his hand through his hair and yawned, slipping on a clean Obelisk Blue coat and new socks and shoes and headed out when suddenly he was bombarded with confetti.
"Surprise!" Yukie, Hide, and Doxx cheered as Kyu was shaken by the sudden shock. Violet and Quartz stood there silently as Violet fiddled with the stretch wire which held a party hat while Quartz spun a noise maker.
"Uhmmm..." Kyu said, knowing that today wasn't his birthday. "Hey guys! What's all this for?"
"Heh, This is just for all the hard work you've gone through." Doxx smirked, putting his arm around his neck and giving him a small noogie.
"We thought you'd need some cheering up after the hell you went through." Hide sorta laughed.
"Really? You guys are in this too?" Kyu said to Quartz and Violet. "Thanks guys!"
Kyu went in for a hug while Violet and Quartz's eyes twitched as he came to tackle them when suddenly Sophia and Genesis' talking interrupted them. "You're throwing HIM a surprise party and didn't even invite US!" Sophia said in shock. "I knew this day was coming! I officially have NO friends!"
"Eh hem..." Genesis said, annoyed as she nudged Sophia.
"Sorry guys, this was just a small surprise for Kyu for going through all this stuff." Yukie said cheerfully, blowing plastic horn at them.
Genesis rolled her eyes. "Anyways, just because the Killer 9 are gone, doesn't mean we can't watch the final duel between the ultimate, Kyu-Haru, versus the dark and creepy Von Bourg!" Genesis said.
"Don't worry, Kyu has a Lux God, he's never failed with it so far." Quartz said.
The group moved on out from the hall way, moving toward the cafeteria for some breakfast. Class started normally, without change. "It's as if everything were left the way it was ever since, the start." Kyu thought, remembering the invasion of Rare Hunters they undergone. "It's getting so close to the end of the year... What am I going to do in the summer?"
"What's up?" Hide asked, nudging Kyu. "Worried about Von Bourg?"
"No..." Kyu simply said, shaking his head. "More worried about how my life is going to go on once this year is over."
"We'll make something of it." Hide said happily. "It's been a life changing year, Kyu. You've changed so many people's lives. You're as good as a legend here."
"Thanks Hide..." Kyu smiled with dopiness as the lesson continued on.
Marika walked outside from the Ra Yellow dorm. She smelled the great fresh air, then glanced at a free boat, she knew what she had to do.
Marika hopped in, grabbing a set of oars and headed out toward the Obelisk Blue dorm. She's never been to the dorm, but she didn't want to give up on saving her brother. As she headed toward the entrance, she looked up at the altar of the God of Obelisk, then headed in.
"Where is it..." Marika said in her mind, remembering Kyu's dorm room number. She located it shortly. Marika grabbed a pin from her hair, causing her long hair to fall, picking the lock easily, the door opened.
After an hour of searching, clothes and random cards were spread across the floor of Kyu's dorm. "Damn it... Where is it?" She said to herself, looking around at the mess. Lunch had passed and she could hear students coming.
"Man that was a great lunch!" Kyu said out loud, stretching as Kyu and Hide stopped by their dorm.
"Damn..." Marika growled, realizing she was as good as gone.
Kyu pushed the door opened and looked in shock at the mess. "What happened!" Kyu gasped.
"Looks like someone was looking for something." Hide growled. "Nothing looks stolen."
"Bet who ever it was, they were after the Lux God." Kyu growled.
The door swung shut and Marika saw it, Kyu's deck in his belt. Suddenly there was a scream, Kyu turned to see Marika go at him, grabbing his belt.
"Marika!" Hide screamed.
"Marika!" Kyu gasped as Marika swiftly unbuckled Kyu's belt, pulling his deck holder out.
Marika ran for the door, slamming it open and running off. "The Lux God is in there!" Kyu screamed, chasing after her.
"Oh no..." Hide said, having a really bad feeling as he chased after them.
Marika ducked and dodged from other Obelisk Blue students. Marika swiftly ran past Genesis and Sophia. "Watch it! You stupid Ra Yellow!" Sophia screamed.
"Hey isn't that that one girl, what's her name, Marika?" Genesis said, wondering when suddenly Kyu and Hide swiftly ran passed them.
"This doesn't look good!" Sophia said as the two girls ran after.
"Marika! Whatever it is, he's lying!" Kyu growled, desperately trying to catch up to her.
Marikamade it out to the front, all the boats were gone and they were surrounded by water. "Oh man..." Marika said, biting her nail.
"May I be of assistance?" Von Bourg's voice chuckled in her mind. Suddenly a dark barrier appeared over the water, making a bridge. Marika smiled for joy, running across the dark bridge.
"How is she doing that!" Kyu said amazed, watching as Marika ran across the water.
Genesis and Sophia caught up with the two boys. "What's going on!" Sophia said.
"Marika stole Kyu's deck, it has the Lux God!" Hide said.
"Then let's go after her!" Genesis growled as Sophia and Genesis began to cross the dark force bridge.
As they crossed they began to sink. "Agh! What's happening!" Sophia squealed as the two dropped into the water.
"Agh! Swim Sophia! Swim!" Genesis said, trashing in the water.
"Genesis! Sophia!" Hide called.
"They'll be fine, we got to stop Marika, over there!" Kyu said, pointing to a motor boat. The two hopped in and headed down toward the ocean.
The bridge ended with Marika hitting the sand of the beach. She saw Miyabe standing there. "Sister..." Miyabe said happily.
"I got it brother! I got it!" Marika said, in tears again, happy to see her brother as she waved the belt over her head. Marika stopped in front of Miyabe, handing him the belt.
Miyabe took Kyu's deck out, looking through all the cards until he found it. "It's... Here..." Miyabe said with an evil grin.
"You'll be better now? Won't you?" Marika said with enlightenment as she hugged him.
"Get off of me, child." A dark voice hissed, pushing her to the sand.
"What?" Marika said.
"I've got what I needed now..." The dark voice laughed as Miyabe's body began to change, changing into Von Bourg. He wore a black jacket which was buttoned tightly, and black pants with his white hair gelled up.
"No... No!" Marika said in fear.
"I missed you Marika." Von Bourg smiled. "You were such a good servant, until that damn Kyu-Haru changed you. I don't know how, but it seems you made things for the better of me. You and your foolish brother did."
"How dare you..." Marika hissed.
Von Bourg turned his head, hearing the sound of a motorboat. "No way!" Kyu growled, seeing Marika on the ground and Von Bourg standing before her.
"He didn't!" Hide said, having a terrible feeling inside.
"Where's my brother! Where is he!" Marika growled, standing.
"You might as well sit back down. Your brother is very well alive. But that is, he won't be seeing you anymore. Not as long as I hold the three Lux Gods." Von Bourg laughed as Kyu steered the boat toward the sand, jumping out.
"Von Bourg!" Kyu hollered. "How dare you. I thought you said you'd only duel for the Lux God."
"Heh, that was Dameon talking. That fool thought it'd only be fair to duel his way toward the Lux God when it was way too easy to just take from a unorganized foolish boy."
"Von Bourg." Kyu growled, clenching his first.
"Here, boy." Von Bourg smirked, throwing the belt to Kyu, he caught it. "Your precious cards are still with you, I have what I need."
"Not yet you don't." Kyu growled.
"Oh?" Von Bourg smiled.
"You forgot one last thing. A duel!" Kyu yelled.
"Me? Duel you? I'm sorry but I have what I need and the last thing I have to do is duel such a pathetic boy." Von Bourg smiled.
"That's right. The ultimate dark being, Von Bourg can't defeat me even though he has three god cards in his hands." Kyu smirked. "I played your games, now it's time to play mine!"
Suddenly, Doxx, Yukie, and Quartz came to a running stop at a cliff, looking down at Kyu and Von Bourg, along with Hide and Marika.
"Kyu!" Yukie screamed, Kyu glanced up to see them.
Sophia and Genesis caught up, still drenched from their little swim. Yukie took off her duel disk, tossing it over the cliff. Kyu caught it, sliding it onto his arm.
Von Bourg smirked. "Fine, I'll play your game. But I promise you, it won't be fun at all." Von Bourg said, taking his own duel disk out from his back.
Both Von Bourg and Kyu slid their decks in. "Duel!" Both yelled as their life points rose to 4000.
"I should feel special, this is our first time dueling." Von Bourg chuckled.
"My turn, draw!" Kyu announced drawing his first card of the duel. "First, I'll activate this, Fusion!"
"Heh. Back to fusing those neat little angels you have?" Von Bourg smiled.
"You can count on it." Kyu said, holding up two monster cards in his hand. "I'll use it to fuse my Seraphim Therapist and Seraphim Guardner from my hand!"
The two angels appeared, jumping together, fusing in a bind of light, transforming into a single angel with a giant golden shield with angelic wings expanding from each side. "This makes Seraphim Angel Guard! Which I summon in defense mode! (3500/300)"
"Heh, starting with defense already?" Von Bourg smiled. "You must be a smart boy, knowing I've already got one of the Lux Gods in my hand."
"That's one thing I didn't know..." Kyu admitted to himself. "I'll then set a card face down and end my turn!"
"Draw!" Von Bourg quickly announced, drawing his first card. "Now! Activate magic card, Graceful Charity!"
"Huh?" Hide wondered. "Why would he be using that? Unless he's trying to get some other card in his deck..."
"By the looks, it looks like he plans to get rid of some cards." Quartz growled from at the top of the cliff. Hide and Marika appeared with them.
"What were you thinking!" Violet hissed at Marika.
"I know..." Marika said with aa emotionless expression. "He tricked me. He made me think he was my brother! Can you blame me!"
"Yes..." Violet growled.
"Oh how I would love to..." Marika said, raising her fist but Doxx and Yukie stopped her.
"Nows not the time to fight! We already have one battle going on we don't need two!" Yukie cried, trying to hold back Marika. Marika only sighed, keeping her distance from Violet.
"This magic card allows me to draw three cards, then discard two cards in my hand." Von Bourg smiled, swiftly drawing two cards, then taking two cards from his hand and discarding them to his graveyard holster. "And since I've drawn this monster outside my draw phase, I'll be able to special summon it!"
"Huh?" Kyu gasped.
"And I've drawn two of them! Go, Watapons! (2x 200/300)" Von Bourg announced as the two white fur balls materialized to the field.
"No way!" Yukie, and everyone else gasped.
"So that's your plan. To special summon as many monsters as you can so you can bring forth your Lux God." Kyu growled.
"Exactly." Von Bourg smiled. "Bonus points for which god I'm going to summon to. But sad for you, you've only been able to use one. As for me, I've been studying the power of all three for many years!"
"Tell me, Von Bourg, just as Rosie was trying to do, are you trying to harness the power of the Lux Gods so you can become human too?" Kyu asked.
"Heh. What makes you think that?" Von Bourg asked.
"The clues fit all together!" Kyu yelled. "Marika's disappearance and her bondings to you. You helping Rosie be able to resurrected herself. Controlling bodies. You are no human in this world, you're just a curse!"
"Heh." Von Bourg smiled.
"Rosie let us in that you were not like many of us here. But you've been just controlling the mind of Marika's brother, Miyabe!" Kyu pointed.
"And with this body, it has ailed me to come this far." Von Bourg smiled.
"And by coming this far, this is your time to fall! Make your next move!" Kyu called out.
"You obviously had too much time with Dameon to be fearing gods. I'll show you." Von Bourg smirked, taking the next card in his hand. "I'll activate my second Graceful Charity! Once again drawing three cards, then discarding two!"
Von Bourg drew his three cards, then sent two into his graveyard. "And guess which card I've drawn! That's right, my third Watapon! (200/300)" Von Bourg laughed as he brought it to the field.
"No!" Doxx gasped.
"He's special summoned enough monsters to summon his god!" Quartz said, his eye twitching.
"And now! I sacrifice all three of my Watapon's so I can summon the first Lux God!" Von Bourg announced, revealing the card in his hand, causing it to glow a ocean blue color.
"No way..." Kyu growled, shielding himself from the light. "It's definitely not the Saint Goddess of The Gale..."
"I summon Saint Goddess of The Tide! (0/0)" Von Bourg announced as the ocean behind Von Bourg splashed, creating a large torrent which rushed past Von Bourg and Kyu. A giant water orb rose up and within it was a water nymph inside, swimming about. She had pure black eyes with web-like ears and a blue-ish skin tone with a long blue tinted gown.
Von Bourg smiled. "Not only is it the second strongest Lux God, but it's about to be the most strongest monster on the field." Von Bourg explained. "Saint Goddess of The Tide gains a total of one thousand attack and defense points for each magic card in my graveyard!"
"So what, he only used two so far in this duel, a total of two thousand attack points is nothing." Hide said.
"Don't be too sure." Violet warned.
"I have a total of six magic cards in my graveyard, plus the two Graceful Charity's I used previously." Von Bourg smirked.
"Of course." Kyu growled. "When he was discarding his cards because of Graceful Charity's effect, he must have only discarded useless magic cards!"
"So now! My Saint Goddess of The Tide gains a total of six thousand attack and defense points!" Von Bourg roared as the water nymph's attack and defense strength grew to 6000. "Although it won't destroy you this round, at least I'll be able to take out your monster, now go! Saint Goddess of The Tide, attack and destroy his Seraphim Angel Guard!"
"That's what you think!" Kyu smiled as the water nymph pushed her arms forward within her water bubble, causing a stream of water to fly forward.
The angelic woman pushed her shield forward, causing the wins to expand more, shielding the water. "What?" Von Bourg growled.
"By attacking my Seraphim Angel Guard, you've activated her effect. I can sacrifice a thousand of her defense points to keep her on the field when she is attacked." Kyu smiled as Seraphim Angel Guards attack strength reduced to 2500.
"Heh, she's bound to run out of defense points sooner or later." Von Bourg smirked.
"Yeah, but it's for the best to set up my strategy." Kyu smirked.
"That's the spirit, Kyu-Haru." Doxx smiled from the cliff.
"Heh, well I'll set one card face down and end my turn." Von Bourg announced.
"The right way to defeat his Goddess would be to remove cards from his graveyard..." Kyu thought, drawing his card. "but I'll have to get the right card for that."
"Hmm, I see you don't have what you need. You'll just have to keep playing defense." Von Bourg smirked.
"Exactly." Kyu smiled. "I'll summon Y Dragon Head in defense mode! (1600/1500) That ends my turn for now!"
"Heh, you're just wasting your time." Von Bourg said, drawing his next card. "Now! I activate this, De-Fusion!"
"Agh!" Kyu gasped.
"With this, I'll split your Seraphim Angel Guard back to its two fusion forms." Von Bourg smirked as the single shield wielding angel transformed into two monsters.
"Using that you've automatically allowed me to bring forth Seraphim Guardner (2000/1000) and Seraphim Therapist (1000/1000) both in defense mode!" Kyu announced as a shield wielding angel and a praying angel appeared. "And they both gain three hundred defense points for each other angel-type monster on the field!"
Suddenly Seraphim Guarder's defense points rose to 2300 and Seraphim Therapist's to 1300. "Also, since I've just used a magic card, my Saint Goddess of The Tide gains one thousand more attack and defense points!" Von Bourg laughed as Saint Goddess of The Tide grew to 7000.
"This is going to be tough..." Kyu admitted.
"I'll end my turn now!" Von Bourg announced, with only one card left in his hand.
"My turn, draw!" Kyu announced, drawing his third card. "Now! I'll activate this card from my hand!"
Kyu whipped out the middle card in his hand, revealing it. "Fusion Gate!" Kyu announced as an extra slot slid out on his duel disk. Kyu slid in the card and automatically a dark swirl of clouds began to form in the sky. "With this field magic card, I can just remove monsters from play to summon a fusion monster."
"Heh, what makes you think fusion monsters will be your benefit?" Von Bourg smirked.
"Because I have the exact monster especially made to defeat your Lux God!" Kyu pointed.
"That would be?" Von Bourg said, waiting.
"I remove Seraphim Gunner and Seraphim Saber from my hand, so I can fuse them together to form Seraphim Rampart Gunner! (2500/1300)" Kyu announced as the cannon wielding angel materialized to the field. "That's not all! I'll thus activate the effect of my Fusion Gate once more! Fusing back Seraphim Guardner and Seraphim Therapist into Seraphim Angel Guard! (300/3500)"
Kyu smiled as the two angels formed together, fusing into the angelic woman wielding a giant golden shield with wings expanding out.
"Alright... Here we go." Yukie said.
"And now!" Kyu said, pointing into the air. "I'll activate Fusion Gate for the third time! This time fusing Seraphim Rampart Gunner and Seraphim Angel Guard into..."
The two angels jumped into the air together, both forming into one solid angel. "Seraphim Rampart Slayer! (3500/3500)" Kyu announced as the final fusion summon unleashed a blanket of light.
The angel lowered itself, wielding a giant wide shield over its arm while holding a large cannon with wings expanding out from both sides.
"Wow! Beautiful!" Genesis and Sophia said in awe as the angelic woman had a glaring look on her face. Von Bourg's water nymph swirled about in its water bubble.
"That makes no difference. Your monster is not strong enough to defeat an ultimate lux god!" Von Bourg smirked.
"You're right, but then again my monster comes with a special effect!" Kyu smiled. "My Seraphim Rampart Slayer gains five hundred attack points for each Light-type monster removed from play!"
"Argh!" Von Bourg growled.
"It's such a wonderful strategy since that Fusion Gate allows me to remove monster cards from play to fuse monsters, instantly giving me a total of six Light monsters in my graveyard!" Kyu smiled as Seraphim Rampart Slayer grew to 6500.
"Heh, too bad my Saint Goddess of The Tide is five hundred points higher than your monster!" Von Bourg smirked.
"For now at least." Kyu smiled.
"Huh?" Von Bourg said.
"Activate trap!" Kyu announced, pointing down. "Disappear!"
"No!" Von Bourg growled.
"Once activated I can chose a card in you graveyard and remove it from play!" Kyu pointed. A Graceful Charity slid out of Von Bourg's graveyard, he growled, taking it and placing it into his pocket. "Since I chose a magic card, your Saint Goddess of The Tide loses one thousand attack points!"
Von Bourg snarled as his Goddess' attack strength reduced to 6000.
"And that's just enough to destroy your monster!" Kyu smiled. "Seraphim Rampart Slayer, attack and destroy his Saint Goddess of The Tide!"
"Heh, you think I wasn't prepared for this type of situation?" Von Bourg smirked, his worried expression turning into an evil sinister one.
"No! He's got a counter!" Yukie said, holding her hands to her chin.
"This can't be good." Quartz growled. "Kyu's wasted too many monsters for this Lux God!"
"Activate face down card, Double Magic!" Von Bourg announced. "By discarding two magic cards from my hand, to my graveyard, I can activate one magic card from my graveyard!"
"No!" Kyu growled, figuring which card it would be.
"And I chose De-Fusion!" Von Bourg announced, as the magic card materialized to the field. "Separating your Seraphim Rampart Slayer back to its two forms!"
Suddenly the single woman was engulfed into a dark whirl pool, but then two monsters emerged, Seraphim Rampart Gunner (1300/2500) and Seraphim Angel Guard (3500/300). Both were in defense mode.
"That's not all!" Von Bourg smiled. "During this process, I managed to place three more magic cards into my graveyard! Further increasing Saint Goddess of The Tides attack even more!"
Von Bourg laughed evilly as the water bubble which the water nymph swam in expanded, her attack points rising to 9000.
"There's no way he can defeat that monster!" Doxx growled.
"There's always a way! Kyu always finds away! This is no time to be resisting now!" Hide said, worried.
"Errr."Kyu growled, clenching his fist as Von Bourg laughed as the water nymph sort of smirked at Kyu, waving at him with her webbed fingers then swimming off.
"My turn ends..." Kyu said.
"Draw..." Von Bourg announced, smiling. Now with one card in his hand, Von Bourg had his strategy going on."Well Kyu-Haru? Do you think my Saint Goddess of The Tide is capable of defeating you just by itself? Or would you like a bigger challenge?"
"Let me guess. You've just drawn the next Lux God." Kyu smiled.
"Indeed I have." Von Bourg smirked. "I have..."
"No way!" Sophia gasped.
"He's already got his hands full with that thing! Cut him a break!" Genesis yelled.
"No matter what it is, I'll take it down!" Kyu said confidently. "Even if it means I have to face all three in one single turn!"
"I highly doubt whatever ounce of confidence you have. Your deck is weak, Kyu-Haru! And if you think raising your hopes will make things better, you're pathetically wrong!" Von Bourg laughed.
"How dare you insult my deck." Kyu growled. "Don't forget, I've already defeated you once!"
"That was nothing. Now I have all three Lux Gods, meaning that now nothing can stop me!" Von Bourg announced.
With that, Von Bourg laughed, knowing that such power he possesses won't be able to be defeated by Kyu. He wanted everything in the world, and if Kyu were to beat him, he knew his mission would come to a violent stop.
PREVIEW
Kyu: As if I'm in trouble already, Von Bourg successfully summons the second Lux God, Saint Goddess of The Gale. I know these are just cards, but maybe, just maybe I can communicate with her. She seems to be fully controlled by Von Bourg, but I know deep inside, this god doesn't want to hurt me. After choosing me, I know she won't. Next chapter is Resisting The Gale! See you there!
