(OPENING 3: Life is SHOW TIME by Sho Kiryuin from Kamen Rider Wizard)

Volume 5: Episode 47: Surpassing Destiny! Edo VS Amon!

In the previous episode of DKR:

After recovering from their fight with the Espada and Kurosaki wanting to repay the rest for saving him, Team Dragon Knight headed off to Domino with Sonic taking them each there to complete the last zone. Fully aware of their arrival, Arkham has an army of Zombie and Fiend Duel Monsters thanks to the zone's ability and Torchwick and his White Fang to stall for time. Trusting each other more than before, Yugi and Ichigo separated with the cat girl, Erika, Plum and Team RWBY in dealing with Roman while Yugi and the others searched for the two bosses. Hopefully they or Naruto's many Shadow Clones located them.

Arkham, at the meantime, was ambushed by O'Brien and Jim. The two were determined to beat Arkham who opposed but after they mocked him to be a worse version of Haou, the masked villain accepted their challenge. Being a two versus one, O'Brien and Jim were able to work well in almost beating Arkham on the few turns but the masked villain turned it around and proceeded to summon two powerful Evil HEROes to get rid of Jim first.

At the same time, Naruto located Amon but so did a group of Judai's friends helping in this monster invasion.

Who will duel Amon and will our heroes locate Arkham? Time is ticking.

And now the conclusion... last left off in the previous episode:

Yugi and his group try their best to search for Amon or Arkham while hoping that one of Naruto's clones finds one of the two. Ed growls not liking this hide and seek game and Haruto feels the same, a sense of powerlessness as he summons one of his Familiars if he isn't still recovering.

"If I wasn't this down on Mana, I might have been able to summon Garuda or my other Familiars to find that masked guy.'' Haruto says, rather irritated, trying to eat a donut to refill his magic. Since it's his favorite food, he can recover his Mana quickly. That's what he learned about wizards when they're low on magic. That or gain a recovering from another magic user.

Kurosaki looks at him, almost hard to believe this guy is a Wizard.

''So again, this guy is a damn wizard?'' He questions the others and the rest chuckle a bit, hard to not disagree since they have seen him in action. Haruto looks at the spiky orange head and begins to say. ''If you want, I'll stun you with-''

Suddenly Naruto pauses, receiving the information of one of his Shadow Clones that located Amon. He immediately declares loudly. ''I found Judai's friends and that glasses red haired guy!''

This partly surprises the group with Judai asking him. ''Where?''

Naruto points to a direction and the group heads there fast. Kurosaki decides to go on ahead, vanishing with Shunpo and moving so fast that he appears instantly between Judai's friends and Amon with Edo confronting him.

Amon staggers as Kurosaki swings Tensa Zangetsu once, easily releasing a burst of wind that pushes him back. Amon guards with Exodius' power but it still takes him by surprise.

''You're-'' Edo utters, remembering this guy. Kurosaki simply turns his head and responds confidently. ''Yo. You're all Judai's friends. Sorry for the tardiness.''

''Then where's Aniki?'' Sho asks, puzzled but he soon gets his answer by Judai's voice shouting. ''Amon!''

Amon looks ahead as Judai and the others arrive with the HERO duelist pointing at him, declaring. ''We challenge you!''

Manjoume sweat drops with Asuka sighs smiling a bit.

Amon curls his lips into a smirk, finding it funny how this man and Arkham are connected by Haou's power but no matter.

''Judai, just the person I want to settle things.'' He proclaims, wanting to finish him off first before he goes after Arkham. Judai smirks at his confidence as he declares. ''This time I'm ready to beat you.''

Judai takes a step forward and immediately Edo stops him, standing in his path. ''Wait Judai!''

''Edo?'' Judai mutters eyeing him. Edo gazes at him almost firmly like he wants to be the one to duel him. Judai recalls the loss his friend got against this guy. Even with Plasma, Exodius proved too strong but Edo seems certain he can change that.

''You sure about this?'' Judai asks him, wary about this. Edo nods as he responds most certainly. ''I am.''

Judai just looks at him and slowly smirks, responding with a thumbs up. ''Counting on you!''

This shocks the others as Amon chuckles a bit, mocking Judai's choice. ''This is a joke. You think he will beat me?''

''Pretty sure!'' Judai responds without a moment of hesitation. Amon scoffs at his foolishness and responds, activating his Duel Disk. ''Fine then. I'll gladly beat the so-called Pro Duelist a second time.''

Edo had prepared his deck for this moment to bring down Amon and Exodius. He activates his own Duel Disk, responding back proudly. ''Destiny doesn't fall a second time.''

Everyone else watches as Asuka eyes Judai, hoping this is a good idea. The others feel the same as Haruto, amazed that the fate of the world is put in the hands of a Children's Card Game.

''Guess it's a sense of honor to play this children's card game?'' Haruto asks the group with basically everyone nodding. He is startled, questioning their response. ''Really?''

Kaiba faces him furious and threatens him, infuriated. ''Mock my game Wizard and I'll make sure you die on the spot.''

Haruto looks at the man and takes a bite on his donut. He chews and swallows the bite as he says. ''Geez, hard crowd.''

Ed or Alicia isn't going to agree, having seen how intense a duel can be.

''I guess it is a sense of honor thing.'' Yugi mutters out in agreement with Ryan feeling the same. ''Yes it is.''

Kaiba scoffs, ignoring them. Judai chuckles, also agreeing as Sho approaches him and asks him about his choice. ''Aniki, you sure about this?''

''I trust in Edo.'' Judai replies, more than certain he'll win. ''If he says he can beat Amon, then he will.''

''Let's hope so.'' Manjoume mutters, actually wanting to duel Amon instead but Edo beats him to it.

The group watches as the two duelists, their decks auto shuffled, declare as they draw their top 5 cards. ''Duel!''

Duel Screen: Edo Phoenix: 4000LP vs. Amon Garam: 4000LP

"Do your best Edo!'' Johan also cheers for the other HERO duelist with Manjoume sulking.

Amon smirks at the miserable fools cheering for the loser this soon. He soon proclaims, gazing at Edo as he adjusts his glasses. ''I start first.''

''Fine by me.'' Edo responds firmly.

Duel Screen: Turn 1_ Edo: 4000LP H: 5 / Amon: 4000LP H: 5

''My turn! Draw.'' Amon shouts drawing his top card. He eyes it and summons it. ''I summon Vortex Trooper!''

The wind fan, a robot-like monster, appears kneeling down in Defense Position.

Vortex Trooper Lvl 3 ATK: 0 DEF: 600

''Vortex Trooper's effect upon Normal Summon shuffles 2 cards from my hand into the deck and then I draw 2 cards.'' Amon explains returning two cards, his deck shuffles on itself and then he draws 2 more cards. He eyes one of them and reaches towards it.

''Next I-'' Amon begins to say but gets cut off as Edo declares holding up a card and revealing it. ''I discard Droll & Lock Bird from my hand, activating its effect!''

Amon staggers as the appearance of a part human, part rabbit-like animal boy wielding a wand with a dark blue bird on his side appears as the wand shines and blinds the field.

''By discarding this card the moment my opponent adds cards from their Main Deck to their hand, until the end of this turn; neither player can add cards into their hand.'' Edo explains his ''hand trap'' monster's effect. The others are taken back with Manjoume uttering out- ''That's clever of Edo siding in a card to counter Amon's draw power.''

''That way he can't summon Exodius faster saur!'' Kenzan exclaims, pointing out the obvious. Amon scoffs at this and moves his hand to two other cards.

''I set 2 cards face-down.'' Amon declares, setting both cards on his field, finishing his turn. ''Turn end.''

Duel Screen: Turn 2_ Edo: 4000LP H: 4 / Amon: 4000LP H: 3

''My turn! Draw!'' Edo shouts, drawing his top card. He eyes it and plays it right away. ''First I activate the Spell, Fusion Destiny!''

Everyone of Judai's group startles as they utter out. ''Fusion Destiny?''

Edo smirks as he explains his new spell. ''Fusion Destiny lets me perform a Fusion Summon for a Fusion Monster that lists a Destiny HERO monster as its material using monsters from my hand or Deck as Fusion Materials. However, that Fusion Summoned monster is destroyed during the End Phase of the next turn.''

Most are taken back with Kaiba humming slightly impressed.

"I fuse Destiny HERO – Disk Commander, Celestial and Drawhand from my deck!'' Edo explains as 3 Destiny HEROes appear before merging together within a Fusion portal.

''3 heroes of the Dark, let your combine power manifest the dominate Destiny HERO to be born and change the course of destiny!'' Edo chants as he then shouts with the portal exploding. ''Fusion Summon! Come on! Destiny HERO – Dominance!''

Emerging out of the portal is a large, dark grey armored knight Destiny HERO with the bloody red D symbol on the chest. He wields a black cape with a large, spike-like attachment. He has spikes across the armor and wields a blade.

Destiny HERO – Dominance Lvl 10 ATK: 2900 DEF: 2600

The others are taken back by the new hero.

Haruto watches, eating his donut not sure how to feel. He remembers how his parents gave him a present on one of his birthdays… when they were alive and it was a Duel Monster deck. He had fun especially with the two cards they bought that were expensive but they wanted him to have fun. Since they died, he grew out of it.

''A new Fusion Destiny HERO. Awesome!'' Judai declares excitedly. Asuka sweat drops due to Judai's enthusiasm.

Edo proceeds to play another spell from his hand. ''Next I use the spell, Hidden Armory! By exchanging the turn I can Normal Summon or Set and sending the top card of my Deck to the Graveyard, I can add 1 Equip Spell from my Deck to my hand.''

He sends the top card of his deck to the Graveyard and then a card pops out from his Deck. He grabs it and then plays it. ''I equip Dominance with the Equip Spell, D – Spear! This card increases my Destiny HERO by 100 for every monster I control during the Battle Phase!''

A dark, medieval-like spear with a D symbol guard manifests as Dominance grabs and wields it. Edo isn't done yet as he announces. ''Next I activate Dominance's effect!''

Dominance's red eyes glow as his attachment releases a red wave.

''I can look at either the top 5 cards of our Deck and then rearrange them in any order.'' Edo explains its deck arrangement as he makes his choice. ''I choose your Deck!''

Amon scoffs walking over as did Edo with a small smirk. The two walk and stop in front of the other. Edo holds up his free hand placing his hand in his hand in a slot on his Duel Disk. Amon glares, pulling out the top 5 cards of his Deck and hands them to him. Edo accepts and looks through them, seeing the Ultimate Ritual of the Forbidden Lord. Immediately, Edo places that card on the bottom of the order of the cards and slides in all the other cards on top of it. He hands the cards back to Amon who slides them on top of his Deck.

''Enjoying this huh?'' Amon taunts Edo, replying with a shrug of his shoulders. ''Maybe.''

Amon gazes before he walks away. Edo does the same. The two walk back to oppose the other as Edo proclaims. ''Battle! Dominance, attack Vortex Trooper!''

Dominance, with an ATK of 3000 due to D – Spear, lets out a battle cry as he raises his main giant sword while it's engulfed in dark energy.

''Dominating Slash!'' Edo commands as his Destiny HERO swings his weapon and slashes right through the robot-like monster, destroying it with ease. Amon smirks as he prepares to use his destroyed monster's effect but Edo immediately interrupts. ''Next with D – Spear, my monster can inflict piercing battle damage and your cards cannot activate during the Battle Phase!''

This shocks Amon as Dominance thrust the spear at him. He braces himself but it thrusts him backwards, slamming his back onto the ground. Haruto blinks, rather taken back as if the attack was real.

Amon takes 2400 of piercing battle damage, dropping his Life Points to 1600.

''Next since Dominance destroyed a monster by battle, I can draw 1 card.'' Edo explains, drawing a card. He looks at his options and declares as he sets a few cards. ''I set 2 cards face-down. Turn end.''

Two facedown cards materialize behind his HERO before ending this turn.

Amon brushes off the damage he took, rather amazed.

''Not bad.'' He seemingly praises Edo, not expecting it but he appreciates it. ''Wasn't expecting such damage but now I get what I wanted.''

Edo glares at him not following. Amon intends to show him as he announces. ''Reverse Trap open, Painful Tribute!''

One of his set traps flips over, showing the image of those who commenced the Huge Revolution, captured and about to be beheaded by the Executioner with the fat, crazy tyrant sitting on his throne and eating.

''I can send 1 Non-Monster card from my deck and then two Monsters cards from my hand to add 2 monster cards of the same Attribute and Type but those monsters discarded cannot activate their effects while they are in my Graveyard.'' Amon explains his trap's effect. He soon reveals 2 Forbidden One parts to Edo's dismay. He then proceeds to send the Ultimate Ritual of the Forbidden Lord into his Graveyard. Edo growls mad as his efforts are for nothing.

''So?'' Haruto begins to ask but Danny shrugs it off with Alicia saying. ''Just stay silent and listen. Duels are simple when you listen.''

''Yep!'' Yugi replies with a smile. Haruto doesn't respond as he takes a bite on his donut.

Duel Screen: Turn 3_ Edo: 4000LP H: 2 / Amon: 1600LP H: 3

''My turn!'' Amon declares, drawing his top card. As he enters his Standby Phase, Edo triggers his set card. ''I activate the trap Thunder of Ruler! Now you cannot enter your Battle Phase.''

Amon smirks at his sense of protection and taunts him. ''Afraid of what's to come?''

''More like preparing.'' Edo objects, having a face of concern. Truthfully, he was hoping for more time.

Amon now proceeds to play the card he couldn't use before. ''I activate the spell, Graceful Charity! I draw 3 cards and then I can discard 2 cards from my hand.''

He draws his 3 cards as Judai watches, hoping he failed to get the last Forbidden Pieces. Sadly, Amon smirks as he discards 2 cards, one of them being a Forbidden One piece. With everything set, he soon announces. ''I now activate Ultimate Ritual of the Forbidden Lord from my Graveyard, revealing the two Forbidden One copies in my Graveyard to perform the ultimate summon!''

Edo worries as a massive door manifests behind Amon.

''I return all Forbidden One cards in my Graveyard back to my Deck and then I send the two copies from my hand to the Graveyard.'' He proclaims, returning 3 of the pieces back to his Deck before discarding the other two in his hand. He soon calls forth. ''Appear before your master, Ultimate Forbidden Lord!''

The doors start quaking and instantly shatter open by a pair of fists, ripping them open.

''Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord!'' Amon calls forth as Exodius emerges forward from the crumbling gate, letting out a powerful roar-like cry, shaking everything around them.

Judai braces himself glaring as Yubel manifests beside him. Even Haruto can feel the pressure of this thing. Is this monster possibly real?

Even Kaiba tries to act calm but his body is shaking unease, just reminded how much he hates Exodia.

Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord Lvl 10 ATK: ? DEF: 0

Edo stares sweating with Ed groaning, recalling this behemoth.

''Just like last time, I intend to crush you with Exodius power.'' Amon, with a confident, calm smile, tells Edo who glares mad.

''Exodius cannot be destroyed and unaffected by other card effects.'' Sho reminds everyone about the near perfect protection that Exodius has. Kenzan nods as he adds. ''Plus he gains 1000 ATK for each Forbidden One part in my Graveyard saur.''

''And when it battles, he can send another piece to his Graveyard.'' Asuka also points out, revealing how Exodius can keep getting stronger through battle. Manjoume, though, reveals grim. ''And when all 5 are in the Graveyard, Amon wins.''

Everyone nearly panics to hear that. Yugi recalls how Amon used this Exodia against Judai before.

Even Kaiba actually sweats now thinking about how powerful this thing is. If Edo didn't use his trap, he would still lose his Destiny HERO and Amon would be a step close to winning.''

''This is ridiculous!'' Jonouchi complains angrily as he points his finger at the massive titan. ''How the hell does that thing have that much power?''

Yugi isn't sure honestly. All they can do is hope Edo can survive. Judai watches this calmly, more than sure Edo has a plan.

''Since I cannot conduct my Battle Phase…'' Amon says, unable to do much this turn. He eyes one of his two cards and grabs one of them.

''I set 1 card face-down and my turn is over.'' He declares, setting it behind Exodius before ending his turn.

Edo breathes a bit as he then announces. ''Due to Fusion Destiny, Dominance is destroyed.''

His new Fusion Destiny HERO suddenly explodes. Manjoume startles as that card is meant for Destiny End Dragoon. Why couldn't he summon that monster instead? He would get his answer right away as Edo then reveals. ''If Dominance, Fusion Summoned, is destroyed, I can Special Summon up to 3 Level 9 or lower Destiny HERO monsters from my Graveyard.''

''3 of them?'' Amon utters out as Edo calls forth. ''Come out my Destiny HEROes!''

Manifesting out of light, 3 Destiny HEROes appear onto his field, two being Disk Commander and a new HERO resembling a guy with a badass white suit and dark fedora hat with a wicked D-shaped top as well as wearing a dark purple scarf.

The last monster is another new one called Destiny HERO – Sniper, a bow sniper wielding, winged demon-like human with the appearance of a human still though half his face covered by a strange mask and wearing eye sniper visors.

Destiny HERO – Disk Commander Lvl 1 ATK: 300 DEF: 300

Destiny HERO – Drawhand Lvl 4 ATK: 1600 DEF: 1400

Destiny HERO – Sniper Lvl 4 ATK: 1800 DEF: 1300

''Disk Commander if Special Summon from my Graveyard lets me draw 2 cards!'' Edo explains as he draws 2 cards and then he further announces. ''Plus Drawhand if it is also Special Summon by the effect of a HERO monster: We both draw 1 card.''

Amon scoffs as he and Edo draw 1 more card each.

Duel Screen: Turn 4_ Edo: 4000LP H: 5 / Amon: 1600LP H: 2

''My turn! Draw!'' Edo declares, drawing his top card. He looks at his options and proceeds playing one of the cards he drew before. ''First I activate my own Graceful Charity!''

He draws his 3 cards and then proceeds to discard 2. Edo smirks a little as he announces. ''I'll end this here! I release Drawhand to Normal Summon Destiny HERO – Dread Dude!''

Drawhand points his fingers and fires a beam from his index and middle finger as a gun, flashing into light. Then somersaulting out of the light is a dark red full body suited, humanoid dark hero with a large trench coat as he wields twin katanas as well as strapped with different weapons under his coat and on his thighs with a large purple D symbol on his chest. His whole face is covered by a mask and the mask has white socket eyes.

Destiny HERO – Dread Dude Lvl 7 ATK: 2500 DEF: 1800

''Dread Dude can be Tribute Summon with 1 less tribute if the monster I release was a HERO monster.'' Edo explains the summoning of his hero before he declares, entering his Battle Phase. ''Battle!''

''Oh? You intend to-'' Amon, with a smirk, taunts Edo on what he plans to do but Edo interrupts with a smug smirk. ''Destiny HERO – Sniper's effect! While I control another Destiny HERO monster, Sniper can attack directly but I can only attack 3 times this turn!''

Amon startles as Edo commands. ''Go, Sniper!''

Sniper wields its sniper weapon forward, taking aim.

''Dark Snipe!'' Edo shouts as his HERO fires a dark energy arrow shot. The others startle as Kenzan says with a smile. ''That should do it!''

''I think not.'' Amon protests as he triggers his set card. ''Reverse Continuous Trap Open, Defense Seal Wall!''

His trap glows as Amon explains it. ''While I control Exodius, I can negate your attack and end the Battle Phase!''

''Wrong! I chain and activate Dread Dude's effect!'' Edo, however, protests firmly as he uses his other new HERO's effect. ''Once per turn, he can negate the activation of a Monster, Spell or Trap effect if I control another Destiny HERO monster.''

Amon staggers once more. Dread Dude tosses his katanas and leaps up, pulling twin machine guns with large D symbol barrel tips.

''Dread Counter!'' Edo commands as his HERO fires his weapons immediately. Amon watches and smirks, triggering his set card. ''Counter Trap open, Despair Alignment!''

His trap flips showing the planet of Uranus shrouded in darkness. He then explains his card's effect, discarding a card into his Graveyard slot. ''By discarding a card, I can negate your card's effect when it targets a Continuous Spell or Trap I control and banishes it.''

The trap shines as Dread Dude is consumed in darkness before he vanishes from the field, banished.

''Next I can Special Summon the Despair Uranus from my Deck!'' Amon then announces as a card pops out and he calls out. ''Appear, the Despair Uranus!''

Descending over them is the massive, sphere planet-like monster with a terrifying face. Everyone sweats heavily with Haruto taking a bite on his donut.

The Despair Uranus Lvl 8 ATK: 2900 DEF: 2300

''The Despair Uranus' effect prevents the destruction of all face-up cards in my Spell and Trap Card Zones.'' Amon explains with a smug smirk. Ryan startles as he announces. ''That means Edo can't get rid of Amon's Trap.''

''YEA. We know!'' Jonouchi points out angrily.

Edo looks at his opinions and grabs two cards, setting them facedown.

''I set 2 more cards face-down! I end my turn.'' He declares, finishing his turn.

Duel Screen: Turn 5_ Edo: 4000LP H: 3 / Amon: 1600LP H: 1

''My turn!'' Amon declares, drawing his top card. He eyes it as Edo then announces. ''Drawhand's effect Special Summons itself to my field but it's banished when it leaves the field!''

Drawhand reappears back to the field, pointing his right finger gun hands at the enemy.

Destiny HERO – Drawhand Lvl 4 ATK: 1600 DEF: 1400

''Next we both draw 1 card.'' Edo then states as they both draw a card. Amon eyes it and curls his lips into a smirk, proclaiming. ''Big mistake.''

Edo looks at him, not following until Amon proclaims, playing the card he drew. ''I activate the spell, Cloudian Aerosol!''

Manjoume growls a bit to think he's still playing his Cloudians.

''I discard Cloudian – Nimbusman to place Fog Counters up to the Level of the Cloudian monster I discarded on a monster you control.'' Amon explains as he discards his Level 5 monster and then points at Edo's weaker HERO. ''I place 5 Fog Counters on Disk Commander!''

Disk Commander is suddenly surrounded by multiple clouds, holding him in place.

Number of Fog Counters on Destiny HERO – Disk Commander: 5

''Next I activate the spell, Fog Hurricane Disaster!'' Amon then proceeds, playing another spell from his hand. The card manifests on the field, showing a powerful hurricane that's created by numerous Cloudian monsters. He then explains his card's effect. ''I remove all Fog Counters and each one remove; I can destroy that many cards you control!''

Edo is startled heavily as does everyone else. Amon looks upon his opponent's field and makes his choice. ''I destroy your 3 monsters and 2 of your set cards.''

His spell releases a powerful hurricane, sucking up nearly all of Edo's monsters and cards, destroying them. All he has left is one card but he still pursues, announcing using the effect of one of his destroyed cards. ''D - Tactic's effect if it is destroyed lets me add a Destiny HERO monster from my Deck to my hand.''

A card pops out from his deck as he adds it to his hand. Amon scoffs as he then announces the second effect of his spell. ''Next I can add a card that has Cloudian in its name or Fog Counter in its text to my hand.''

A card also pops out as Amon grabs his card. He then proceeds into his Battle Phase, declaring. ''Battle! Exodius, attack directly!''

Exodius lets out a shrieking roar, vibrating the area all around them. Amon then explains. ''Exodius effect sends another Forbidden One card from my Deck or hand to the Graveyard.''

He sends a piece of the Forbidden One to his Graveyard as Exodius shoots up to 3000ATK. The giant prepares to swing a punch at Edo but he's partly ready for it, triggering his set card. ''Reverse trap open, D – Fortune!''

His trap flips over shining a barrier around Edo.

''I banish Sniper to end the Battle Phase!'' He explains, banishing his HERO to save himself. Amon smirks a bit impressed though he says. ''Clever but now I only need 2 more cards to complete my victory.''

Edo glares at him, fully aware he has a few turns left.

''Turn end.'' Amon finishes his turn and immediately Edo announces. ''Destiny HERO – Sniper's effect activates! I can place 1 Normal Spell Card from my Deck to the top of my Deck.''

He searches through his Deck and sets a card on top of his deck.

Duel Screen: Turn 6_ Edo: 4000LP H: 5 / Amon: 1600LP H: 0

''My turn!'' Edo shouts drawing his top card and then plays it immediately. ''First I activate the spell, Pot of Greed! I draw 2 cards!''

He draws two more cards. He then proceeds, playing another spell from his hand. ''I activate the spell, D – Spirit! With it I Special Summon a Destiny HERO from my hand!''

Edo grabs a card and summons it. ''Come on, Destiny HERO Drilldark!''

Appearing on his field is a drill wielding Destiny HERO.

Destiny HERO Drilldark Lvl 4 ATK: 1600 DEF: 1200

''Drilldark's effect lets me Special Summon a Destiny HERO from my hand with ATK less than or equal to Drilldark!'' Edo explains his HERO's effect as he summons another hero. ''Come on, Destiny HERO Diamond Dude!''

Appearing next to Drilldark is Diamond Dude.

Destiny HERO Diamond Dude Lvl 4 ATK: 1400 DEF: 1600

Edo then activates his other HERO's effect. ''Diamond Dude's effect excavates the top card of my Deck and if it's a Normal Spell Card, I can send it to the Graveyard and uses its effect during my following turn.''

He checks the top card of his deck and smirks. He then sends Destiny Draw from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard.

Amon looks at his opponent's field and smirks, mocking his attempts. ''It doesn't matter what new hero you can bring out, nothing beats Exodius.''

''Then I'll summon not a hero!'' Edo, however, protests holding up a card he looks at and soon proclaims. ''I release my two heroes.''

His two monsters vanish as Edo chants, still holding the same card. ''Descend from space and eclipse everything in your massive shadow.''

A swirl of shadows manifest around the ground as Edo summons forth. ''Come on, the Great Jupiter!''

Descending through the dark swirl is a massive dark green, multi-spike humanoid with pale yellow horns, silver spikes, a large H-shaped pair of wings on its back and its chest having the planet of Jupiter, spinning slowly.

The Great Jupiter Lvl 8 ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000

The others stare speechless with Ryan uttering out, amazed. ''Woah…''


Elsewhere, O'Brien and Jim are still clashing up against Arkham who's about to turn the tide of the duel.

O'Brien's Life Points: 3500

Field: Volcanic Slicer, Blaze Accelerator, 2 Set Spell/Trap Cards

Hand: 2

Jim's Life Points: 2000

Field: Volcanic Shell, 1 Set Spell/Trap Card

Hand: 3

Arkham's Life Points: 3000

Field: Evil HERO Depth Manta, Evil HERO Sinister Shaman, Dark Identity

Hand: 2

Arkham chuckles a bit, having all the means to deal with his opponents without struggling with his odds.

''Battle.'' The masked man declares commencing his attack as he will end things with one of them. He raises his arm commanding his weaker Evil HERO. ''Depth Manta can attack directly. So attack Jim directly!''

Depth Manta manifests a dark, shadow energy anchor before thrusting it towards Jim.

''Shadow Anchor!'' Arkham shouts as the anchor strikes pass through Jim's Volcanic Shell and hits him directly. He takes 1400LP of damage, leaving him with 600LP.

''HAAA!'' Jim gasps in pain, actually feeling that. Arkham snickers as he then announces. ''Next Depth Manta banishes a card on the field after it inflicts Battle Damage to my opponent. I banish Blaze Accelerator.''

O'Brien's cannon weapon melts away as shadows. Arkham chuckles as he proclaims towards Jim. ''It seems you're the first to go. Ironic.''

Jim glares calmly, eyeing his set card which is Sakuretsu Armor and much like last time, he can't use it due to Dark Fusion's protection effect.

''Sinister Shaman, attack Volcanic Shell!'' Arkham commands as the Evil HERO comes leaping towards Jim's monster, swinging its staff engulfed in darkness. ''Death Blow.''

Jim watches helplessly but O'Brien isn't going to let his friend fall, triggering his set card.

''Reverse Trap open, Volcanic Ambush!'' O'Brien declares as his set card flips over, showing the image of Volcanic Hammerer unleashing a surprise attack from underground. He then explains his trap's effect. ''With this, I can redirect your attack towards a Volcanic monster I control.''

Sinister Shaman stops its attack in front of Volcanic Shell. Arkham scoffs as he gazes towards O'Brien, looking back seriously.

''Fine. Attack Slicer then.'' The masked villain proclaims as his Evil HERO attacks O'Brien's monster and destroys it. But then the trap glows as O'Brien explains. ''Next you take 500 of damage and then I draw 1 card.''

The trap fires a fireball at Arkham, hitting him but he brushes it off. Next O'Brien draws a card.

Looking at his opinions, Arkham grabs a card and sets it.

''I set 1 card face-down. My turn is over.'' He declares, ending his turn but not before adding. ''Now at my End Phase, Dark Identity is destroyed.''

His Continuous Spell destroys itself as such.

Duel Screen: Turn 5_ O'Brien: 3500LP H: 3 / Jim: 600LP H: 3 / Arkham: 2500LP H: 1

O'Brien prepares to start his turn but Arkham then proclaims confidently yet coldly. ''It doesn't matter what you can do, I won't fall the same way Haou lost to you.''

Arkham then squeezes his eyes evilly yet humorous as he then says. ''Besides, you're a man who must win like any other mission. You can't hope to tag team with Jim and expect to win with your type of attitude.''

O'Brien doesn't reply, recalling his confrontation with Darkness that became his father. He went through hell recalling his failures, choosing the concept of the mission over saving what matters most. He let the darkness consume him for that moment and failed on the true mission.

''You're right…'' He begins to admit but he's grown since then due to Judai surpassing the Darkness with the Hope he has for everyone, announcing those same words. ''But someone taught me that no one has real power but the strength to believe: To believe in these bonds with others, with these cards, with oneself. To believe in these bonds is irreplaceable. It's these bonds that can never leave our hearts.''

Arkham twitches a bit angrily as O'Brien declares. ''We will always make mistakes. That's why these bonds make us whole!''

''Using such words, just like Judai would put it.'' Arkham responds coldly. It annoys him that someone who is a part of Haou to be stubborn to accept reality as foolish and not worth saving. One should conquer and reshape the world into a new, more suitable shape.

''It changes nothing. My Evil HERO cannot be defeated and my strength surpasses such bonds.'' Arkham declares firmly, not going to lose to such nonsense. O'Brien glares not going to fail on those bonds and defeat this man.

''We'll see about that! My turn!'' O'Brien declares, drawing his top card. He eyes it and immediately activates his set card. ''I activate the Continuous Trap open, Blaze Accelerator Reload!''

His card flips over as it manifests larger magazine weapon-like cannon. O'Brien then explains, discarding a card. ''By discarding a Volcanic monster from my hand, I can draw 1 card!''

He draws a card and soon proclaims. ''I discarded Volcanic Scattershot which activates its effect, inflicting 500 of damage and by sending 2 more copies from my Graveyard, I destroy all monsters you control!''

Arkham watches as 3 Scattershots manifest and slide themselves into the cannon before firing 3 waves of destructive flame shots at Arkham's field. They explode on impact, destroying all of his Evil HERO monsters.

''And don't forget the other Scattershots' effects will now trigger!'' O'Brien then says as Arkham takes 1500 of damage, dropping him to a mere 1000LP. Brushing off the damage immediately, Arkham declares revealing his set card. ''Reverse Trap open, Evil Mirage!''

His set card flips over, revealing the image of Evil HERO Infernal Gainer appearing in front of a shattered mirror with his reflection on it. He then explains the card's effect. ''All my monsters destroyed by a card effect will return back to the field, ignoring their summoning conditions.''

The trap shines of intense darkness as both Evil HEROes return back to the field.

Evil HERO Depth Manta Lvl 5 ATK: 1400 DEF: 1000

Evil HERO Sinister Shaman Lvl 6 ATK: 1900 DEF: 1800

O'Brien looks at this and simply smirks, announcing. ''But now this duel is over.''

Arkham raises an eyebrow as O'Brien declares, summoning a monster. ''I summon Volcanic Counter from my hand!''

Appearing is the smaller but lethal Volcanic.

Volcanic Counter Lvl 3 ATK: 300 DEF: 1300

''How will summoning that do you any good?'' Arkham calls him out unimpressed. O'Brien intends to show him as he plays the card he drew. ''I'll show you! I activate the spell, Grand Blaze!''

The spell appears on the field, showing the image of the silhouette of a figure resembling the Blazing Mars. O'Brien then explains his card's effect. ''Grand Blaze lets me release all Fire Pyro monsters on the field so then I can Special Summon a Pyro monster from my Deck.''

Both Volcanic Counter and the Volcanic Shell on Jim's field erupt in flames.

''Erupt, flames of courage!'' O'Brien calls forth as the flames overlap and explode in a burst of flames. ''Appear, the Blazing Mars!''

Emerging from the explosion is a massive giant, demonic demon head with spikes and sharp fangs with a swirl of flames within its massive jaw. On top of the head is a metallic-like humanoid with red-skin forearms and claws as well as red gem on its chest and red eyes much like the giant head.

The Blazing Mars Lvl 8 ATK: 2600 DEF: 2200

Arkham looks at this creature and snickers a bit, proclaiming. ''The Blazing Mars huh? A Planet Monster.''

''Next if the monster I summon is the Blazing Mars with this effect, I can Special Summon as many monsters from my Graveyard with different names back to my field but with their effects negated.'' O'Brien then reveals as multiple flames shoot out across his field, becoming his Volcanic monsters.

Volcanic Shell Lvl 1 ATK: 100 DEF: 0

Volcanic Scattershot Lvl 2 ATK: 500 DEF: 0

Volcanic Slicer Lvl 4 ATK: 1800 DEF: 1200

Volcanic Counter Lvl 3 ATK: 300 DEF: 1300

''Summoning a bunch of monsters is hardly a threat to me.'' Arkham taunts his opponent, finding this pathetic. O'Brien stares calmly and announces. ''I activate the Blazing Mars' effect.''

Arkham flinches as the Blazing Mars' mouth roars and starts sucking up like a vacuum, absorbing all of the other Volcanic monsters.

''By sending all other monsters I control, I inflict 500 of damage to you for each!'' O'Brien explains to his opponent who is startled. Jim smiles, muttering out. ''Nice one O'Brien.''

''It's over. Syrtis Major!'' O'Brien proclaims as the Blazing Mars breathes out a blast of massive flames from its massive mouth. It hits and consumes Arkham directly in flames. O'Brien watches calmly, thinking this duel is over but soon it doesn't become the case as a burst of black winds blow away the flames and reveal Arkham unscratched.

This shocks the two as Arkham, chuckling, tells them with a humorous tone. ''Good effort but not enough. Dark Identity's Graveyard effect banishes itself and with it, I gain Life Points instead of taking damage from that damage.''

He had banished his card before the flames completely consumed him and negated the damage. Arkham's Life Points are now 3000LP opposed to 0LP.

''What now?'' Arkham taunts O'Brien who glares intensely. He eyes his only 2 cards and decides to try to attack for the win.

''I send Blaze Accelerator Reload that is treated as Tri-Blaze Accelerator to Special Summon Volcanic Doomfire from my hand!'' O'Brien calls forth as his cannon explodes in intense flames and its place is the massive devil Volcanic monster, roaring angrily.

Volcanic Doomfire Lvl 8 ATK: 3000 DEF: 1800

''Battle-'' O'Brien proceeds to enter his Battle Phase but Arkham interrupts, announcing as he banishes another card from his Graveyard slot. ''By banishing Evil Mirage from my Graveyard, my opponent cannot attack this turn.''

O'Brien staggers and he doesn't have any choice. He sighs, proclaiming irritated. ''I end my turn.''

''Of course you do.'' Arkham taunts him evilly.

Duel Screen: Turn 6_ O'Brien: 3500LP H: 1 / Jim: 600LP H: 3 / Arkham: 3000LP H: 1

Arkham looks at Jim and tells him rather cocky. ''It's seems your up now.''

''Good, I don't plan to fail on O'Brien again.'' Jim answers back, adjusting his hat with a confident smile. Arkham looks down at his foolish assumption and tells him, thinking back how Jim tried to reason with Judai before. ''So what? You will plead that I have some good?''

Jim glares at this man and unlike Judai who has good in his soul even when Haou possessed him, this Arkham has none of that.

''No. I can tell you have no such thing.'' Jim theorizes, more than certain this man is not even human. ''That's why I don't have to hold nothing against you!''

Arkham just sulks cocky. Jim glares madder, saying even more serious. ''You're evil; everything the Haou I fought long ago stands for. That's why I won't fail Judai either and beat you!''

The masked villain watches with his arms crossed, curious what he can even do to him.

''My turn! Draw!'' Jim shouts, drawing his top card. He eyes it, almost briefly unease, before putting the card into his hand. He then proceeds, banishing a card from his own Graveyard slot. ''Next I activate Degrading Fossil's effect in my Graveyard, banishing it.''

He then discards a card from his hand and announces. ''I can discard a card from my hand to add Reviving Fossil from my Deck to my hand.''

A card pops out and adds it to his hand. He then plays another card from his hand. ''Next I activate the spell, Miracle Rupture! By sending a Level 4 or lower Rock monster in my Graveyard then if Fossil Fusion is in my Graveyard, I can draw 1 card!''

He sends a monster and then after shuffling draws a card. He eyes it and plays it right away. ''Now I activate the spell, Pot of Fossils!''

The card manifests on his field, showing the image of Pot of Greed but fossilized. Jim then explains his card's effect. ''If I control or have a Fossil Fusion Monster in my Graveyard, I can draw 1 card but by banishing Fossil Fusion, I draw 2 cards instead!''

He banishes his previously destroyed Fossil Warrior Skull Bone from his Graveyard to draw 2 cards. Arkham scoffs as that combo is pointless.

''I activate the Equip Spell, Reviving Fossil!'' Jim then announces as the card shows the image of the monster that is supposed to be the Living Fossil being revived from its fossilized state. He then explains his Equip Spell's effect. ''With it, I can Special 1 Level 4 or lower Rock Monster from my Graveyard but its ATK and DEF become 0.''

He summons forth the monster he just sent away from his Deck. ''Appear, Flint Cragger!''

Appearing is a miniature fossilized dinosaur monster.

Flint Cragger Lvl 3 ATK: 800 DEF: 1600

''Flint Cragger's effect forces me to discard a card and next I can send a Fossil Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard. I send a second Skull Bone!'' Jim explains sending a second Skull Bone to his Graveyard. And from there he activates that Fossil Fusion he sent away. ''Next I activate the second Skull Bone's effect in my Graveyard, banishing it to add Time Stream from my Deck to my hand!''

A card pops out as he grabs his card. Arkham hears enough of these pointless combos, beginning to call him off. ''What's the point of such a-''

''If I control a Rock Monster, I can Special Summon this card from my hand.'' Jim then interrupts, holding up a card and summons it. ''Appear, Fossil Alligator!''

Appearing onto his field is a fossilized alligator monster with glowing yellow eyes.

Fossil Alligator Lvl 6 ATK: 2000 DEF: 2300

''Fossil Alligator's effect destroys a card I control and next I can choose 1 banished card and either add it to my hand or send it to the Graveyard and if Fossil Fusion or a Fossil Fusion Monster is in my Graveyard, my opponent must send a monster from their Deck with a Level of 5 or higher to their Graveyard.'' Jim explains his new monster's effect as Arkham scoffs at this. ''Very well.''

Jim destroys Flint Cragger while Arkham must send a second Evil HERO Sinister Necrom. Jim then puts back the Weathering Soldier he banished previously and then declares. ''I send Weathering Soldier back to my Graveyard and trigger its effect. I add a second Fossil Fusion!''

He adds a second Fossil Fusion and proceeds activating it. ''I activate the Spell Card, Fossil Fusion! I fuse and banish one of your Sinister Necrom and my Shell Knight!''

Both monsters temporarily manifest before they're fused together.

''Fusion Summon Fossil Warrior Skull Knight!'' Jim calls forth, summoning the superior Skull Knight onto his field.

Fossil Warrior Skull Knight Lvl 6 ATK: 2400 DEF: 1100

Jim then plays the other card he added. ''Now I activate the spell, Time Stream! With it I send my Skull Knight and bring out another Fossil Fusion Monster with 2 Levels higher from my Extra Deck and treat it as a Fusion Summon!''

His Skull Knight begins to evolve as Jim summons forth. ''Fusion Summon! Fossil Warrior Skull King!''

Evolving, the knight is now a king as Skull King appears on Jim's field.

Fossil Warrior Skull King Lvl 8 ATK: 2800 DEF: 1300

Arkham watches, still not worrying until Jim plays another card from his hand. ''I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Fossil Construction!''

A spell card manifests onto his field, showing the image of a fossilized dinosaur being constructed. Jim then explains its effect. ''I release Fossil Alligator to Special Summon a Fossil Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck, ignoring its summoning conditions but its ATK is halved and its effect negated.''

His fossilized alligator vanishes as Jim is fully aware he can only perform a single Summoned after activating this card's effect and can only tribute 1 monster once this turn.

''Now appear, Fossil Dragon Skullgios!'' Jim calls forth as the massive fossilized tyrannosaurus rex appears on his field.

Fossil Dragon Skullgios Lvl 8 ATK: 3500 DEF: 0

Arkham watches unimpressed however this is all Jim needed as he announces. ''I now release Skullgios!''

This shocks the masked man as the giant dinosaur vanishes.

''Wield your tyrant to control everything!'' Jim chants as he holds up the card he drew from his Draw Phase, summoning it. ''Appear, the Tyrant Neptune!''

Shattering through the ground is a massive alligator, armored creature behind Jim. It has a centaur-like bottom half but lizard-like alligator with armor across its body and a creepy, pure shadow head with yellow eyes. It also wields a giant scythe.

The Tyrant Neptune Lvl 10 ATK: 0 DEF: 0

''Another Planet Monster.'' Arkham mutters out, annoyed. Jim looks behind him at his monster, frowning as he's not happy. He's not fond of this monster, feeling a sense of uneasiness from its mere presence. He shakes it off as Jim announces. ''The Tyrant Neptune can be summoned with 1 less tribute. It also gains the original ATK, DEF, effect and name of the Tributed monster.''

The Tyrant Neptune breathes sinisterly as its ATK becomes the same as Skullgios as well as gaining its name and effects.

''Clever.'' Arkham points out. Jim isn't done as he banishes Skull Knight from his Graveyard and uses its effect. ''I banish Skull Knight to destroy Sinister Shaman!''

The spirit of Skull Knight manifests and comes dashing at Arkham's Evil HERO, destroying it. Thanks to Skullgios' double inflict effect and switching the ATK and DEF of the opposing monster, Jim is more than confident that the duel is over.

''Now you have nothing guarding against this! Battle!'' Jim declares as the giant alligator monster comes dashing with its multiple legs. ''The Tyrant Neptune, attack Depth Manta!''

Arkham watches as Tyrant Neptune prepares and swings its scythe at Arkham's last monster. ''Sickle of Ruin!''

Arkham watches helplessly as the massive alligator slashes through his Evil HERO and explodes upon him. Jim watches and relaxes, muttering. ''It's over.''

O'Brien nods certain Jim won this-

''… You think so?'' The two stagger and look forward and watch as emerging from the explosion is Arkham, unscratched. This shocks them with Jim uttering out. ''Impossible!''

Arkham chuckles as he announces. ''I take no damage when Depth Manta battles an opposing monster.''

Jim glares but not defeated as he announces. ''Skull King can attack twice, you can't-''

Arkham moves his free hand and lifts up his index finger, wagging his finger as he interrupts, revealing. ''By banishing itself, Sinister Shaman can bring back two Evil HERO monsters from my Graveyard.''

Two dark portals form and emerging out is both Silent Tactician and Blood Ripper in Attack Position since Skull King can do piercing damage.

Evil HERO Silent Tactician Lvl 4 ATK: 1600 DEF: 1500

Evil HERO Blood Ripper Lvl 3 ATK: 1200 DEF: 1200

''Both Silent Tactician and Blood Ripper's effects activate.'' Arkham announces as he adds back Dark Fusion and another card from his Deck.''

Jim glares still having a chance to do some kind of damage.

''Skull King, attack Blood Ripper!'' He commands as his Fossil monster comes dashing and thrusts his blade through Blood Ripper. ''King Swordplay!''

The blade then cuts upward through the monster and he explodes. Arkham braces, taking the 1600LP of damage.

''Now attack Silent Tactician!'' Jim commands as Skull King charges swinging at the other opposing monster. ''King Swordplay Second!''

The sword slash cuts through Arkham's Silent Tactician, destroying it. The masked villain takes the 1200LP of damage. He breathes, calming down.

Jim frowns, unable to do much and finishes his turn. ''Turn end.''

Arkham watches silently with just 200LP.

As the duel goes on, a Naruto clone looks around and soon spots the three but mainly Arkham.

''OH!'' Naruto utters out, pointing like an idiot before telling himself mentally with a grin. ''Found him!''

The clone soon dissolves to transfer the information to the original. Will the others find Arkham before time runs out?


Commercial Break:

Judai: You can do this Edo! Beat Amon and don't give up!

Haruto sweat drops: Duel Monsters is more emotional than I thought it was.


Before the Naruto clone found the other duel going on, Yugi and the others watch as Edo has just summoned his own powerful monster.

''Awesome. So this is Edo's Planet Monster.'' Judai expresses astonishment with Manjoume scoffing though slightly amazed too.

Amon glares angrily; unaware he too has a Planet Monster.

''The Great Jupiter's effect!'' Edo announces as he discards two cards in his hand. ''I discard 2 cards to target and equip a face-up monster my opponent controls!''

''What?!'' Amon utters out in shock as Edo commands, pointing his finger forward. ''Jupiter, absorb the Despair Uranus!''

The Great Jupiter's planet chest glows as he fires a beam from it, hitting the Despair Uranus and sucks it up inside the smaller planet. Amon groans as Edo then further says with a small smirk. ''Next Jupiter gains ATK equal to the original ATK of the equipped monster!''

The Grand Jupiter's ATK goes up to 5400. He then proceeds playing the last card in his hand. ''Next I equip the Equip Spell, Cyclone Blade to the Great Jupiter!''

The massive twin edged blade manifests as Jupiter grabs on it.

''Battle! The Great Jupiter, attack Exodius!'' Edo commands as he then reveals. ''Cyclone Blade's effect destroys all other Spell and Trap Cards on the field when the equipped monster attacks!''

Amon glares as the Great Jupiter twirls the weapon, releases a burst of wind from it and blasts away all of the Spell and Trap cards on the field. Now Amon loses his trap as Edo's attack proceeds. However this benefits Amon who declares, sending another Forbidden One piece. ''I send another Forbidden One monster and now Exodius is 4000 ATK and Exodius cannot be destroyed!''

Exodius shoots up to 4000ATK but Edo doesn't care as he declares. ''But you still take the damage! Great Red Spot!''

The Great Jupiter fires a beam from its head, striking Exodius. The Forbidden Lord survives the attack but the blast still bends towards Amon who quickly discards a card from his hand. The attack hits him and Amon would have taken 1400LP of damage but instead his Life Points become 3000.

This shocks Edo as Amon explains. ''Nice attempt but I discard Cloudian – Absorb Cloud from my hand!''

It shows a crystalized yet puffy cirrus cloud monster as he explains. ''By discarding it, any damage I would have taken I gain Life Points instead!''

Edo glares as he can't do much and so he finishes his turn. ''I end my turn. At the End Phase, the Great Jupiter's effect Special Summons the monster equipped to it.''

The planet glows and the Despair Uranus reappears on Edo's field in Defense Position.

The Despair Uranus Lvl 8 ATK: 2900 DEF: 2300

Duel Screen: Turn 7_ Edo: 4000LP H: 0 / Amon: 3000LP H: 0

Amon looks at Edo, still scoffing that he even wants to duel him. It just recalls how they first duel years ago. He soon calls him off. ''I don't know what's about you. Are you angry what I had to do with Echo or you angry that you lost to me?''

Edo glares, not able to forgive him for what he's done. Even if Echo is willingly to give up her life for him; it isn't fair either, reminded of his father.

''Regardless a mere human like you can't understand.'' Amon pronounces as he begins his turn. ''My turn.''

He draws his top card and smirks as he then announces activating the Graveyard effect of Cloudian Aerosol. ''I banish Cloudian Aerosol and Nimbusman to Special Summon a Cloudian monster from my Deck.''

A card pops out as he grabs it and calls forth. ''Appear, the storm of storms! Cloudian – Eye of the Typhoon!''

Emerging as a powerful burst of winds gathering, takes the form of the Cloudian boss monster and its red cyclops eye gazing upon Edo.

Cloudian – Eye of the Typhoon Lvl 8 ATK: 3000 DEF: 1000

''It's over for you now.'' Amon announces with such confidence as he proceeds to play the card he drew. ''I activate the Continuous Spell, Rule of the Forbidden One!''

The spell manifests, showing the image of Exodius binding the will of cards like Swords of Revealing Light and Gravity Bind with its powerful, sheer pressure. Amon then explains his card's effect. ''With it, I can set Defense Seal Wall from my Deck or Graveyard on my Field and then I can add a card that has Forbidden One or Forbidden Lord in its text from my Deck to my hand.''

Edo glares as that trap is once more set on the field. Then a card pops out as Amon grabs it and immediately plays. ''I now activate the spell, Rage of the Forbidden One!''

Sho panics as Judai glares, knowing that card is what will end the duel.

''While Exodius is on the field for this turn, all cards you control or are in played are negated!'' Amon explains, not taking any opinions even if Edo has nothing. He soon commands. ''Battle! Exodius, attack the Great Jupiter and end this pitiful duel!''

Everyone panics. Kaiba scoffs as he'll have to deal with this twerp and crush him quickly.

''Lightning Flash of the Heavens!'' Amon commands as Exodius roars, extending back its right fist as it's surrounded in energy. Edo watches as Amon smirks and announces as a card pops out from his Deck. ''It's been fun. I now send my last Forbidden One piece to-''

In that moment, Edo slowly forms a smirk.

''A shame this time destiny is not on your side.'' Amon suddenly staggers, looking up at Edo smirking as he declares as a card pops out from his Graveyard slot. ''I banish D – Vanish from my Graveyard, activating its effect.''

Amon staggers as one of the cards he destroys manifests, showing the image of Destiny HERO Doom Lord surrounding the sun over him with his cape like an eclipse as he attacks a villainous monster. Edo then explains his trap's effect. ''This turn all cards send to my opponent's Graveyard are banished!''

''What?!'' Amon immediately utters in shock with Edo still smirking. The others are taken back, even Kaiba who scoffs.

''Now Amon cannot complete Exodius' win effect!'' Manjoume points out smirking. Amon groans, forced to banish the last Forbidden One piece he was just sending. The 4000 ATK boost Exodius slams his fist through the Great Jupiter, destroying it.

Edo braces taking 1500LP of damage but as he did 3 cards pop out from his Graveyard and he slides them into his Spell and Trap Card Zone.

Amon wasn't aware Edo had such cards but he isn't going to let this break him as he resumes the Battle Phase. ''Eye of the Typhoon, attack the Despair Uranus!''

The powerful opens up its smoke-like mouth and breathes a burst of hurricane-like wind.

''Plus Eye of the Typhoon switches the position of all other monsters on the field!'' Amon then declares as only the Despair Uranus is forced into Attack Position ''Perfect Storm!''

The blast of winds shreds and destroys the monster as Edo takes 100LP of damage.

Amon chuckles evilly as he decrees, overconfidently. ''All I need is to wait and wait is-''

In that moment Amon notices Edo's field and it startles him. ''What the?''

Before him are three face-up monster cards, just on Edo's field but where the Spell and Trap Card Zones are. Edo smirks calmly as he says. ''Shame your spell only works on cards on the field and not from the hand or Graveyard. That's the case with my Vision HEROes.''

''Vision… HEROes?'' Amon utters out puzzled. The others are also very surprised. Judai blinks awkwardly, never hearing of those monsters though… it did remind him of certain cards he sort of left behind back in their timeline.

''If I ever take any type of damage, I can place a certain Vision HERO from my Graveyard face-up on my Spell and Trap Card Zone as Continuous Trap.'' Edo explains the triggers of his new HERO monsters as he points at each one on his field. ''And I had 3 of them. So I placed Vision HEROes Multiple Guy, Minimum Ray and Increase from my Graveyard to my field!''

Amon growls annoyed at this nonsense as he announces. ''Tch, like it matters. Turn end!''

Duel Screen: Turn 8_ Edo: 2400LP H: 0 / Amon: 3000LP H: 0

Everyone watches as both duelists have 0 cards in their hands but Amon has a huge advantage with his field. Even without the Win Condition, Exodius is stronger.

Edo remains silent for a moment, thinking about it. And then he finally speaks up, objecting to Amon's statement. ''… You're wrong.''

Amon hums, looking at him as Edo says. ''I'm not doing it for revenge for Echo or my lack of power.''

Reminding of his father and what he believed in, Edo speaks those same words of what a true hero would say. ''But to uphold the justice my father believed in and to protect the game he loved!''

Edo then points his finger at the villain before him and announces. ''I will fight for those reasons and stop those like you!''

Amon glares, unimpressed as he will not lose to his weak words.

''And I intend to show you! My turn, draw!'' Edo declares, drawing his top card fiercely. He eyes it and immediately sets it, announcing. ''I set 1 card and next I activate Destiny HERO – Celestial from my Graveyard.''

The spirit of Celestial appears behind him as Edo explains, banishing both him and another Destiny HERO from his Graveyard. ''While I have no cards in my hand, by banishing itself and Diamond Dude; I can draw 2 cards!''

He draws two cards. He looks at them before announcing. ''Next Diamond Dude's effect activates the card I sent by its effect and that card is Destiny Draw! I draw 2 cards without paying the cost!''

Edo once more draws 2 more additional cards. Amon scoffs at this pointless resistance, calling him off. ''Draw all you want, it means little.''

''Wrong, this is all I need.'' Edo proclaims with a small smirk, having everything he needs now. He proceeds holding one of the cards he drew, declaring. ''I can summon this monster by Tributing Trap Cards I control!''

This startles Amon and most of everyone else. Both Minimum Ray and Multiple Guy cards vanished from his field as Edo calls forth, summoning a monster from his hand.

''Come on, Vision HERO Witch Raider!'' Edo calls forth, summoning a long blonde haired woman wearing a large, dark red witch's hat and a red-golden lining outfit underneath a partly open white dress. Her mouth is covered by a mouth mask almost attached to her face and wields a large rifle-like shotgun type of weapon.

Vision HERO Witch Raider Lvl 8 ATK: 2700 DEF: 1900

''Witch Raider's effect upon Normal Summoned destroys all Spell and Trap cards you control!'' Edo explains his new HERO's effect. Witch Raider takes aim with the weapon with one eye and fires a barrage of dark energy shots. ''Magic Bullet Cannon!''

The shots hit across Amon's field, destroying his Spell and Trap cards. He groans not to worry as he says. ''That won't help you-''

''Again, wrong!'' Edo, however, protests as he proceeds to announce. ''I activate Vision HERO Increase from my Spell and Trap Card Zone! By releasing a Witch Raider, I can Special Summon Increase!''

The card shines as Witch Raider vanishes, becoming energy into the card.

''Come on, Increase!'' Edo calls forth as the card shines and said hero dashes out of it, making a strong pose.

Vision HERO Increase Lvl 3 ATK: 900 DEF: 1100

''Increase's effect if it is Special Summoned from my Spell and Trap Card Zone, I can Special Summon a HERO monster from my Deck.'' Edo explains his Vision HERO's effect as he searches through his Deck and picks his monster, summoning it. ''Come out, Vision HERO Vyon!''

Appearing is a purple Tron-like armored Vision HERO.

Vision HERO Vyon Lvl 4 ATK: 1000 DEF: 1200

''Vyon's effect sends a HERO monster from my Deck to the Graveyard.'' Edo explains his other new Vision HERO's effect, sending Destiny HERO Doom Lord from his Deck to the Graveyard. He then declares using its second effect. ''Next I banish Multiply Guy to activate Vyon's other effect, adding Polymerization from my Deck to my hand.''

He searches again and picks his card. Edo soon proceeds in activating it. ''I activate the spell, Polymerization! I fuse Vyon and Malicious from my hand.''

Malicious appears on the field as both it and Vyon merge together.

''Fusion Summon! Come on, Destiny Hero – Dangerous!'' Edo calls forth as a figure emerges out of the portal. Appearing is a dark blue skinned, demon-like monster wearing spiky-like armor and a long, ripped ended cape. He has spiky bracelets, most yellow as well as the D symbol belt buckle. His left, claw hand covers his face though it shows much like his exposed brain and horns.

Destiny HERO – Dangerous Lvl 6 ATK: 2000 DEF: 2600

Amon glares at the insane combo setup that Edo made. Has his deck really improved with those Vision HEROes?

Edo isn't done as he plays another card from his hand. ''Next I activate the Spell, Greater Destiny!''

The card takes form on the field, showing the image of Destiny HERO Doom Lord becoming Dread Guy. Edo then explains his spell's effect. ''By releasing a HERO monster, I can Special Summon a Destiny HERO from my hand with a higher Level. I release Increase!''

Increase vanishes as Edo calls forth, summoning his favorite hero. ''Control destiny with time on your side! Come on! Destiny HERO – Dreadmaster!''

Emerging forward is the massive giant Destiny HERO, letting out a loud shout.

Destiny HERO – Dreadmaster Lvl 8 ATK: ? DEF: ?

''Nice!'' Judai expresses with a grin, really getting pumped. Edo then uses his hero's effect. ''Dreadmaster's effect Special Summons 2 Destiny HERO monsters from my Graveyard!''

Two cards pop out as Edo proceeds in summoning them. ''Come back, Disk Commander and Dominance! Dread Wall!''

Appearing is both Disk Commander and Dominance.

Destiny HERO – Disk Commander Lvl 1 ATK: 300 DEF: 300

Destiny HERO – Dominance Lvl 10 ATK: 2900 DEF: 2600

''Disk Commander lets me draw 2 cards.'' Edo proclaims, drawing two more cards. He didn't look at them as he then says, banishing Malicious from his Graveyard. ''Next I banish Destiny HERO – Malicious from my Graveyard, Special Summoning a second copy to my field!''

A second Malicious appears on his field.

Destiny HERO Malicious Lvl 6 ATK: 800 DEF: 800

''All of this is pointless. You can't beat Exodius.'' Amon proclaims, having seen enough that he can't beat him. Edo just smirks as he questions him. ''You sure?''

Amon looks at him puzzled. What could he possibly have that can even oppose his field? Edo intends to show him, triggering the card he set. ''Reverse Continuous Spell open, D – Force!''

Everyone immediately widens their eyes as the card flips over to be D – Force.

''D – Force?!'' Amon utters out in confusion, having sworn that D – Force was never a Continuous-

''D – Force, upon activated, adds a certain Destiny HERO from my Deck or Graveyard to my hand.'' Edo, interrupting Amon's thinking, declares as a card pops out from his Deck and grabs it. Edo looks at it smiling as he soon raises it up and shouts. ''I release Disk Commander, Malicious and Dominance!''

All 3 HEROes vanish as Edo chants with swirls of reddish blood blast from the ground, out of nowhere. ''The miasma of bloody destiny, tainted to reclaim his soul by seeking vengeance against evil!''

The blood overlaps upon each other, becoming a sphere of bloody miasma. Edo then calls forth, placing the card over a Monster Zone. ''Come on, the Ultimate D-HERO! Destiny HERO – Plasma!''

The sphere soon explodes and spreading his swings, is Plasma letting out his own battle cry.

Destiny HERO – Plasma Lvl 8 ATK: 1900 DEF: 600

Manjoume sweats a bit intimidated by how frightening that monster is.

''Plasma's effect negates the effects of my opponent's monsters plus Plasma can absorb a monster my opponent controls, equipping it to Plasma and then it gains half of the equipped monster's ATK.'' Edo announces as he raises his hand towards the Eye of the Typhoon. ''Go! Gravity Blood!''

Plasma's eyes glow as his wings shoot out a blast of blood, striking the Cloudian and absorbing it. The monster is absorbed into Plasma as his ATK shoots up to 3400.

''Next I discard a card and then 1 Destiny HERO from my Deck to the Graveyard to activate Dangerous' effect!'' Edo then announces using his new Destiny HERO's effect as he discards a card and sends Destiny HERO Decider from his Deck to the Graveyard. ''Now all Destiny HERO monsters gain 200 ATK for each Destiny HERO monster from my Graveyard!''

The spirits of Disk Commander, Dominance, Drilldark, Malicious, Doom Lord and Decider appear as their energy gives each Destiny HERO a boost of 1200ATK. Amon looks at this unworried until Edo then reveals. ''Plus thanks to D – Force, Plasma gains 100 ATK for each monster in both our Graveyards.''

''W-what?'' Amon widens his eyes as the D – Force spell glows. Within Edo's Graveyard, he has Disk Commander, Dominance, Drilldark, Malicious, Decider, Doom Lord, Increase, Minimum Ray, Witch Raider, the Great Jupiter and Phantom Magician while Amon's Graveyard has 4 Forbidden One monsters, the Despair Uranus, Vortex Trooper, Cloudian – Turbulence, Mad Reloader and Cloudian – Absorb Cloud. That is a total of 2000ATK boost as Plasma shoots up to 6600ATK.

''And Dreadmaster's ATK and DEF become the combined ATK of all other Destiny HERO monsters I control.'' Edo then says smirking as Dreadmaster's ATK own shoots up to 9800ATK.

Amon sweats a bit but this isn't an issue. He can survive Plasma's attack as he can easily stop Dreadmaster's massive attack. He looks at his Deck, telling himself of the other effect of his new Cloudian monster. ''Absorb Cloud banishes itself to negate damage from 1 battle. I can survive this.''

Edo doesn't waste time declaring as he enters his Battle Phase. ''Battle! Plasma, attack Exodius!''

Plasma flies up over Exodius, the two enemies clashing. Exodius roars swinging powerful energy fists but Plasma repels with a bloody barrage as his wings glow. The barrier shatters and takes the form of small yet sharp needles.

''Bloody Fears!'' Edo commands as Plasma fires multiple blood shots at Exodius. The Forbidden Lord tanks the hits, surviving them while Amon takes 2600LP of damage. He breathes but smirks as he survived and won-

''Thanks to D – Force, Plasma can attack twice!'' Edo, however, reveals to Amon's shout. ''What?!''

''Plasma, attack again!'' Edo commands as Plasma raises its dragon-like arm, charging up a sphere of miasma red energy. Amon widens his eyes angrily as he counters, banishing his Cloudian monster. ''I banish Cloudian – Absorb Cloud from my Graveyard to reduce the damage from a card to 0!''

Plasma fires the blast but the Cloudian absorbs it before vanishing. Even 100 ATK lost, Dreadmaster is still far stronger than Exodius as Amon sweats of terror.

''Seems destiny didn't favor you.'' Edo comments with a small smirk before becoming serious and ordering. ''Dreadmaster attack! Predator of Dreadnought!''

Dreadmaster roars as he takes a leap towards Exodius and thrusts one of his chains at him. Exodius is helpless as the chain pierces through the Forbidden Lord and strikes Amon directly.

''GAAAAHHH!'' Amon screams as he's launched backwards and crashes on his back. His Life Points immediately dropped to 0.

Duel Screen: Winner... Edo Phoenix: 2400LP vs. Amon Garam: 0LP

The others smile astonished, even Haruto is taken back but oddly amazed.

Edo looks at the fallen Amon and sighs as he turns back to see everyone cheering for his win.

''Gotcha Edo! Nice duel!'' Judai tells him, doing his signature finger pointing gesture. Manjoume scoffs as he says upsetly. ''I-I could have still beaten him!''

''Maybe.'' Edo oddly says with a small smirk. Manjoume sulks a bit until the group hears laughter. They look to see Amon getting up again. Haruto, taking his last donut bite, sneaks around the group.

''It means little if you did beat me.'' Amon mocks Edo's victory as the real win is stalling all of them. ''If you can't find Arkham, then you all-''

Just then Naruto widens his eyes, getting everything that the Shadow Clone that located Arkham.

''I FOUND!'' Naruto yells out loudly like an idiot. This alarms Amon as the others eye him and Yugi asks him, smiling. ''Lead us where Naruto-kun!''

Naruto chuckles, giving him a thumbs up. Amon glares, not going to allow that as Exodia manifests behind him. This gets everyone's attention as Kurosaki dashes in front, charging at Amon.

''I won't-'' Amon begins to say, raising his right hand forward but as he does, a ring is slipped on his middle finger. This startles him and Kurosaki who stops as Haruto slipped that ring and then grabs Amon's hand and slides it over his belt.

''SLEEP, PLEASE!'' The inactive Wizardriver chants as the ring glows. Amon glares at the man but then feels funny, almost sleepy.

''W-what is-'' He tries to question, trying to remain focused but he's just… to…

Exodia immediately vanishes as Haruto pulls the ring off Amon as he falls face forward, sleeping.

Judai's friends are all speechless as is Kurosaki with a dumbfounded face. Haruto whistles as he walks back to the others, relieved his mana has been somewhat restored.

''H-How you did-'' Kurosaki tries to ask him but Haruto answers him, raising his left hand to show his Flame Wizard Ring on him. ''Simple: I'm a Wizard.''

The orange headed Ichigo is just utterly speechless while Yugi laughs awkwardly, not wanting him to be.

''Anyway, time to confront Arkham.'' Judai proclaims as the group agrees and heads out in a hurry. Kurosaki is left behind, looking down at the sleeping Amon and sighs as he dashes back to catch up to the others.


The duel against Arkham continues as the Naruto clone has just puffed away. Arkham notices the puff of smoke, sensing someone was there. No doubt the Jinchuuriki and his clones. So, they know where he is huh? Well… no point running.

Duel Screen: Turn 7_ O'Brien: 3500LP H: 1 / Jim: 600LP H: 0 / Arkham: 200LP H: 3

Still silent, Arkham is still struck by the words Jim said about him being like Haou… and it disappointed him.

''… Everything like Haou huh?'' Arkham utters out, questionable by Jim's words before saying firmly yet disappointed. ''How naïve you are.''

Jim and O'Brien stare at him, not following him. Arkham chuckles as he says. ''Haou was a fool who failed like he did so much longer ago before he ever dealt with worms like you, but I won't.''

Now that part surprised O'Brien. Haou lost before? Who?

Arkham doesn't explain that part as he announces almost passionately like a speech. ''I will succeed where Haou failed, for I seek knowledge and improve my skills. I am the one who will show fools like you what true evil is, what it can really do! Educate the villains and show the weak what true, educated evil is!''

Placing his draw hand over his deck, Arkham shouts drawing it. ''My turn.''

He eyes his top card and snickers as he plays it. ''First I activate the spell, Pot of Greed. I draw 2 cards.''

He draws two more cards and one of those cards glows dark. He chuckles, eyeing it before he proclaims. ''Next I activate Sinister Necrom's effect from my Graveyard, banishing itself to Special Summon an Evil HERO from my Deck to my field.''

A card pops out from his Deck as he summons it. ''Emerge, Evil HERO Infernal Gaia!''

Appearing is the evil, demonic Gaia Plate evil doppelganger.

Evil HERO Infernal Gaia Lvl 8 ATK: 2800 DEF: 1000

''When summoned, I can add an Evil or Dark Spell Card into my hand.'' Arkham explains as he adds another card into his hand. He then proceeds, activating it. ''Now I activate the Continuous Spell, Evil Supremacy and with it I can place the Field Spell, Supreme King Castle from my Deck to my field.''

The field around them changes as the large, evil castle of the Supreme King appears behind Arkham. Jim isn't afraid of what Arkham tries as he proclaims. ''It doesn't matter what you plan to summon; O'Brien and I have already won this. Even if you manage to beat one of us, the other will-''

Arkham, once more, wags his free index finger as he corrects him. ''Most incorrect. The correct answer is when I win, you both lose.''

He reaches for a card in his hand and immediately discards it to the Graveyard.

''I discard a mere card from my hand to activate my Spell, the card of Ultimate Power of the Gentle Darkness!'' Arkham begins to announce as his eyes glow eerie before he plays it. ''Activate, Super Polymerization!''

The card appears and what manifests is the ultimate fusion spell. Jim worries as Arkham might try to bring out Dark Gaia but even if he tries it, his set card can stop the attack and then O'Brien can try to settle the duel in one shot. However, Arkham has other plans.

''I fuse Infernal Gaia with both Volcanic Doomfire and the Tyrant Neptune!'' Arkham proclaims to his opponents' shock expressions, both uttering out. ''A triple Fusion?!''

The power of Super Polymerization's portal sucks up not just Arkham's monster but O'Brien and Jim's monsters too. Arkham laughs truly excited before he announces firmly. ''Triple Dark Fusion.''

The portal grows and expands before a figure soon forms within it.

''Emerge.'' Arkham calls forth as the large figure leaps forward. ''Evil Beast Disaster Hound Garm!''

Emerging forward is a demonic, wolf/dog-like monster wearing animal armor resembling Haou with a red cape too with golden, deathly claws.

Evil Beast Disaster Hound Garm Lvl 10 ATK: 4000 DEF: 3000

This shocks the two with O'Brien questioning this thing. ''What the hell is this thing?''

Arkham chuckles at this as he reveals. ''This is my Evil Beast, a sub-archetype to the Evil HEROes.''

He then raises his right index finger as he then says. ''More important it has an effect that I can only use during the turn it is Fusion Summon.''

Jim and O'Brien worry as Arkham sends whatever cards he has in his hand.

''By sending every other card in my hand and field other than my beast and I cannot conduct my Battle Phase, I inflict damage to my opponent equal to its ATK.'' Arkham soon reveals the power of his Evil Beast. This horrifies both duelists as Arkham snickers, gazing at the so-called soldier.

''So long, O'Brien.'' Arkham announces as the hound howls and its golden eyes shine through the mask. He raises his hand and commands. ''Disaster Death Howl!''

Garm opens up its fangs and releases a shrieking, dark howling energy mouth blast. O'Brien watches helplessly as the attack hits him and sends him flying backwards at full force.

''AAAAHH!'' O'Brien shouts, slammed hard into the ground before crashing onto a wall. Jim sweats in terror by that.

Arkham chuckles as he soon says. ''Now Garm will be destroyed during my End Phase.''

Jim looks back mad at Arkham, telling him off. ''Then end your-''

''Wrong.'' Arkham simply protests as he then reveals. ''I can use Garm's other effect, inflicting that same damage I just did by the number of non-Evil HERO, different attribute Fusion Materials used for its summoned.''

Jim widens his eyes as Arkham chuckles once more as his hound howls louder.

''Be gone, worm.'' Arkham bids his farewell as he orders. ''Disaster Death Howl!''

Garm unleashes its destructive, howling attack, blasting Jim unable to resist this.

''AAAWW!'' Jim shouts thrusted backward and slams himself onto the wall before falling face forward.

Duel Screen: Winner... Austin O'Brien: 0LP & Jim Cook: 0LP vs. Arkham: 200LP

All monsters vanish as Sheila growls, trying to crawl her way to her owner. Arkham snickers, summoning his Supreme Sword as he approaches the two defeated duelists.

''Now to-'' Arkham declares, going to put an end to those two until the voice of the Wizardriver announces. ''BIND, PLEASE!''

Arkham staggers as multiple red magical circles manifest, shooting out a chain from each. Arkham quickly slashes down the chains with his sword but it's a distraction as Yugi and the others arrive.

''We found you, Arkham!'' Judai declares seriously, his eyes flashing as Yubel's eyes. Arkham looks up at him, twirling away his weapon. He eyes Haruto, showing off his hand ring just to mock the villain to his upsettion.

''A shame too…'' The masked villain begins to say as his cape flows sinisterly. ''For all of you.''

Judai glares seriously, not going to let him get away with this.

Edo manages to defeat Amon and now only Arkham remains. Can Team Dragon Knight beat the mask villain with time running out?

Thank you for another great episode. I thank those who are helping me get this story notice and enjoy it. For those who love it, please review my story and give me your opinions or thoughts to it.


Next Time…

Finally finding him, Arkham has no choice but to duel against our heroes and Yugi challenges him. Will Yugi be able to beat Arkham and save the last zone? And how are Mew Ichigo and her group doing?

Arkham: To think my plan to avoid you naïve children failed. Oh well. I supposed I have no choice but to settle things.

Yugi: I couldn't help but agree, Arkham-kun!

Jonouchi: Yugi, you gotta beat this guy or else-

Kaiba: If you don't win, I will make you pay.

Yugi smirks: I got this.

Judai: Good luck Yugi-san! Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: The Bonds of Our Hope! Yugi VS Arkham!

Haruto eyes Alicia who sighs as Ichigo is busy having fun.

Alicia: Fine. Please remember to read, enjoy and review. See you all next time.


Author's Note: So two duels in one… just great. It's draining and makes the chapter longer haha...

Anyway, as a GX fan, it's time that Edo gets his payback against Amon since Season 3. AGAIN, Amon could have been a mini threat than Trueman for Season 4. The potential was there... It was there!

Why no Destoy Phoenix Enforcer? EH... Yea... this duel was done before that card was announced and it would feel off to add it in with little space... and little time. Next time!

And sadly Jim and O'Brien weren't able to overcome Haou's power through Arkham. Again, wanting to give the villain a win.

Next time… Yugi vs Arkham, dueling time. And resuming back how Ichigo and the other girls are holding on.
