Leo: It's a figurative statement! I summon drillago!

(1600 atk/ 1100 def)

Leo: Now since you only control a monster with over 1600 attack points I can attack you directly!

(Leo: 900-Akiza: 2400)

Akiza: I acti-.

Leo: I activate my set card mystical space typhoon, now your set card is destroyed!

Akiza: Damn!

Leo: If you think I'll simply fall like Yusei did, you are mistaken I end my turn.

Akiza: I draw! I now activate the equip spell thorn of malice now Rose tentacles gains 600 attack points!

Akiza: Attack drillago!

Leo: I activate astral barrier now I shift your attack to me directly!

Akiza: Okay then, Direct attack!

Leo: I activate my set emergency provisions, I destroy all my spells and traps except for astral barrier and I get 2000 life points!

(Leo: 2900-Akiza: 2400)

Akiza: Still, the attack goes through.

Leo: AAARRRRRGGGHHH!

(Leo: 100-Akiza: 2400)

Akiza: I set a card and end my turn.

Just then the rest of the signers came into the arena.

Jack: What's going on?

Crow: Leo what are you doing!

Luna: What's happening?

Akiza: Leo led me here and challenged me.

*With the crimson dragon*

The crimson dragon began to clutch is chest as he felt something strange in his chest. He then began to signal the signers that something is wrong.

*With the signers and Leo*

The signers looked at their marks and they saw it blinking rapidly.

Luna: The crimson dragon is in pain?

Jack: Akiza, do you know what's going on?

Akiza: No.

Luna: Akiza stop the duel. We have to figure out what's going on-

Leo then felt his arm burning but little did he know his mark grew four spider-like legs onto it and the darkness and negative emotions within Leo's heart began to amplify. Leo then saw Luna then saw Luna talking to him.

Luna: What is this even about Leo?

Leo: I am challenging her to get my revenge! After all she nearly sent Yusei to hell!

Akiza: I-I-I-

Leo: He trusted you!

Jack: Look Leo, this hurt us all but we aren't just challenging her to-

Leo: You don't seem to understand Yusei was-

Leo then started sobbing but then it turned into a chuckle and then a psychotic laugh.

Leo: A LOOSE END TO MY PLAN!

The signers looked at Leo in shock.

Leo: Oh my god you should've seen the look on your faces. I hated Yusei, he was everything I could never be, I mean he's won every fucking duel he played and with me I lost nearly every duel I played!

Luna: Leo, what's gotten into you?

Leo: Oh my god this is even better! You still don't even know the truth! HOW ABOUT I SHOW YOU SOMETHING FUNNY!

A massive black pillar enveloped Leo and when it cleared Leo was in his dark signer Attire (Which looks like the nameless king from dark souls but instead of white hair flowing it is Leo's green hair) and he had pitch black eyes with no pupils.

Dark signer Leo: TA DAA, I WAS THE DARK SIGNER THIS WHOLE TIME HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Luna: Leo! You're the dark signer!

Dark signer Leo: Yes, it was also a massive pain to keep it a secret!

Akiza: So you are responsible for Yusei.

Dark signer Leo: No, remember those were your powers not mine! HAHAHAHAHA, It's funny because it's your fault!

Luna: Leo, how could you even think that's funny.

Dark signer Leo: Because I didn't even do anything it was all her!

Crow: You could never face Yusei head on?

Dark signer Leo: Heh, I don't even know who you are.

Crow: So I guess that mark is messing with your head!

Dark signer Leo: No, I never actually cared enough to get to actually know you. But if it helps you get your answer I was going to take Yusei but only when the time was right. I kept telling myself to wait and not just kill Yusei if all he fucking did was talk about teamwork or friendship I had to wait, but then SUPRIIIISE, the yandere witch sent him to the ER and did the work for me!

Akiza: You bastard!

Dark signer Leo: I would say I played all of you like a fiddle but fiddles are hard to play, so I'll say that I played you all like a cheap dollar store kazoo!

Purple mist then surrounded the Leo and Akiza.

Dark signer Leo: You may have played around with dark magic when you fought Misty but she could never play a true shadow game. I activate pot of greed, I now draw two cards. I now set this monster and activate my spell book of Taiyou flipping my monster face up and it's cyber jar.

Dark signer Leo: In pain? In this game you are tied to your monster and when it's destroyed the damage is taken out on our bodies!

Akiza: Y-you!

Leo: Now my two monsters will attack your directly!

Akiza: I activate damage half, now the damage I receive this turn will be cut in half.

(Leo: 100-Akiza: 850)

Akiza still recoiled in massive pain.

Dark signer Leo: I set a card and end my turn!

Akiza was having trouble standing because Leo's attacks seriously weakened her.

Akiza: I draw! I activate monster reborn special summoning black rose dragon!

Dark signer Leo: I activate astral barrier now you have to attack me directly!

Akiza: Even better!

Dark signer Leo: Don't be so sure I activate spirit barrier now since I control a monster I take no damage!

Akiza: WHAT!

Luna: So if he keeps doing that.

Crow: He can just declare direct attacks on him and take no damage.

Jack: Hopefully Akiza can get past that combo.

Akiza: *Sets card* Just go!

Dark signer Leo: *Draws card* I now activate plasma eel's effect. I equip it to your Black rose dragon! Now every time your turn ends Black rose will lose 500 attack points. I'll now set one card facedown.

(1900 atk/ 1800 def)

Dark signer Leo: My turn *Draws card* I activate the effect of legendary fiend! It gains 700 attack points every standby phase of my turn!

Akiza: *Sigh* I end my turn.

Dark signer Leo: Plasma eel drain black rose!

Plasma eel drained black rose dragon of it's power and Akiza fell onto her knees.

(1400 atk/ 1800 def)

Dark signer Leo: My turn! *Draws card* Legendary fiend's effect gives it another boost!

(2900 atk/ 1800 def)

Dark signer Leo: Legendary fiend kill black rose!

Akiza: I activate mirror force!

All of Leo's monsters were then vaporized. And since Leo was tied to them he felt them being obliterated and nearly vomited because of the sudden energy drain.

Jack: I'm impressed, she managed to destroy all of Leo's monsters.

Dark signer Leo: Listen Akiza, you managed to trigger my plasma eel crawler's effect. When it goes to the graveyard it destroys a monster so rose tentacles is destroyed!

Rose tentacles was obliterated and Akiza flinched at the pain of her monster being vaporized.

Akiza: But now you can't play your barriers.

Dark signer Leo: I'm more then prepared *Sets card* go!

Akiza: I draw now black rose finish him!

Dark signer Leo: I activate the trap hallowed life barrier now damage to me this turn becomes zero!

Akiza: I place one card facedown and end my turn.

Dark signer Leo: Not quite, it doesn't end until plasma eel seeps out your monster's strength.

Plasma eel drained black rose further and Akiza fell onto the ground.

(900 atk/ 1800 def)

Dark signer Leo: Lying there on the ground won't bring Yusei back, get up!

Akiza then slowly got up.

Akiza: Just make your move!

Crow: He actually did it!

(It looks like a Black/Green/Purple version of life stream)

Dark signer Leo: I activate death stream dragon's effect all monsters you control get infected with a deathmark counter. Now I attack and activate death stream dragon's second effect. The battle is negated and all monsters on the field with deathmark counters are destroyed. And when a monster with a deathmark counter leaves the field you receive 5000 points of damage for each counter!

Akiza: WHAT!

Dark signer Leo: Yusei can't save you this time Akiza, now vanish!

The blast sent Akiza flying backwards. Akiza then got up and her mind repeatedly flashed to her attacking Yusei and causing him to crash and then getting sent to the hospital and she kept hearing Yusei's and a distorted voice saying: It's your fault. Akiza began to break down crying while her friends were trying to calm her down but they had no effect. When they realized nothing they did helped they then turned to Leo.

Crow: Leo what have you done!

Leo just laughed.

Dark signer Leo: She challenged me to a shadow game. And this is the price, I doubt the crimson dragon can heal her.

Luna: N-no!

Dark signer Leo: Oh dear sister, why even attempt to stop me. The end of the crimson dragon and the age of the primal being begins!

Luna: Primal being?

Leo then vanished and the signers then turned their full attention on Akiza as they tried to help her but still to no avail. So they took her to a hospital where they hoped they could fix her.

*The spirit world*

Luna went into the spirit world and was trying to find Ancient fairy dragon to see if she could find a cure for Akiza and to find out more about the primal being. After a while she saw Ancient fairy dragon.

Luna: Ancient fairy dragon, Akiza is in trouble!

Ancient fairy dragon: Yes, I am aware of that.

Luna: Do you know how to free her of whatever my brother did.

Ancient fairy dragon: Unfortunately I do not. I attempted to do so but the dark magic inflicted upon her is too strong.

To be continued.
