Once again, not enough credit where credit is due. That is why I would like to shout out Star Eyes Pendulum Dragon and their story Feeling the Ultimate Flow again. They had the idea for a child of Yuma and Rio. I liked it, so I've decided to use it myself. My ultimate hope is that, while the beginning seems the same, I end up taking it somewhere Star Eyes isn't. Like before, go read Feeling the Ultimate Flow. Thank you, and enjoy.

(Rio 4000/Vetrix 4000)
"Please, do take the first turn." Vetrix stated.
"If you insist, here I go." Rio nodded. "I summon Blackwing-Kahut the Moon Shadow(LV 3/1400/1000)." A black bipedal bird with a blond hair color appeared. "When I control another Blackwing, I can special summon Blackwing-Gale the Whirlwind(LV 3/1300/400)."
A small Blackwing with dark black feathers on the body and green feathers around the head appeared. "Now I will use Gale to tune Kahut and Synchro for 6. Synchro summon Blackwing-Nothung the Starlight(LV 6/2400/1600)."
A muscular purple and black humanoid Blackwing appeared. "When this card is special summoned, I inflict 800 life points to you (Rio 4000/Vetrix 3200). I will end my turn with a face down."
"An impressive play, but I seem to recall that particular card having a secondary effect. Something about decreasing my monster's ATK/DEF by the same amount as my damage. Seems a little reckless to use it now." He smiled. "Are you scared?"
"Scared of you." Rio stared him down. "Don't make me laugh."
"I do enjoy making people laugh." Vetrix declared. "You and I are about to have a real fun time." He drew. "I summon Heraldic Beast Basilisk(LV 4/1000/1400)." A chicken head on a red lizards body appeared. "Now I shall equip your monster with my Heraldry Blast."
"What does that do?" Rio asked.
"You're about to find out once Basilisk attacks your Blackwing." Vetrix declared with a smile.
"Why would you do that!?" Rio asked shocked.
Vetrix smirked. "Because Heraldy Blast and Basilisk actually work quite well together. Basilisk destroys any monster he attacks, and the one who owns the monster equipped with Heraldry Blast takes damage equally to half that monster's attack (Rio 2800/Vetrix 1800)."
Rio was shocked. "That was an unorthodox yet brilliant play."
Vetrix bowed and laughed. "Why thank you. See, I told you we'd have fun."
Rio shook her head. "It doesn't matter what you come up with because I'm winning this."
"We shall see." Vetrix stated. "For now, I set four cards and end my turn."
Rio drew. "Since I have exactly three Dark monsters in my grave, I can special summon Dark Armed Dragon(LV 7/2800/1000)." A large dragon with dark scales appeared. "By banishing a dark monster in my grave, I can destroy a card on your field. I choose the one on the left.
With that out of the way, I'll normal summon Blackwing-Fane the Steel Chain(LV 2/500/800)." A humanoid bird in a black gi appeared. "I'm not stopping with just these two monsters.
Since I now control another Blackwing, I can special summon Blackwing-Oroshi the Squall(LV 1/400/600)." A black bird appeared. "I will have him give my Dane and Dragon a tune up to Synchro for 10.
Synchro Summon Blackwing-Full Armor Master(LV 10/3000/3000)." A humanoid bird in thick purple and gray armor appeared. "Since he's unaffected by traps, I can attack you without worrying about them."
"Not quite." Vetrix declared. "I activate Pinpoint Guard. When you declare an attack, I can special summon a Level 4 or lower monster from my grave in defense mode. Welcome back Heraldic Beast Basilisk(LV 4/1000/1400). It can't be destroyed this turn."
"Alright, then I will set one card." Rio declared.
Vetrix drew. "I'll summon Heraldic Beast Leo(LV 4/2000/1000)." A white lion in gold armor appeared. "With these two monsters, I construct the overlay network. Xyz Summon Number 8: Heraldic King Genom-Heritage(R 4/O 2/2400/1800)." A colorful monster appeared.
"So, that's his Number." Rio thought. "It doesn't matter because my monster is immune to all effects, and my trap will protect me in the worst-case scenario."
"While it is true that your monster is unaffected by other card effects, that does not prevent him from being targeted. I detach one overlay unit from Genom allowing him to take on your monster's name and effect until the end of the turn.
He will then destroy himself and your monster through battle, but before that I will activate my Heraldic Burst sending your spell/trap back to your hand leaving your monster wide open for destruction."
Rio was utterly shocked. "He countered what I had like it was nothing. Just who is this duelist?"
Vetrix smirked. "It does not end there because I have my last trap known as Xyz Reborn allowing me to bring Number 8: Heraldic King Genom-Heritage(R 4/O 1/2400/1800) back to the field. Since it's still the battle phase, he will attack you directly (Rio 400/Vetrix 1800)."
Rio collected herself. "I'm still in the game Vetrix."
Vetrix smiled. "Not when I end my turn causing your like points to plummet another 500 due to Heraldic Burst's added effect (Rio 0/Vetrix 1800)."
Rio was knocked onto her back defeated. "How? How did you…"
Vetrix laughed. "It was far too easy to predict your moves for you are nothing special as a duelist. The only thing truly special about you is that power within. Now that I have defeated you, I will take you back with me and extract it. Not to mention that Number as well."
Rio stared at the sky in shock. "That's right, the Number… I've lost my Number… I failed Yuma, Shark, and…" She closed her eyes. "I failed Lance who has had such faith in me. Apparently, I am just a worthless duelist."
"Rio!" Lance shouted arriving on the scene.
Rio's eyes snapped open and she craned her neck back to see him running towards her desperately as Vetrix slowly approached. At the rate they were going, plus current distance, Vetrix would reach her first.
Despite this fact, the loss, and her failure, Rio couldn't help but smile. "He came for me." There was a warm feeling in her heart that made her think this was eerily familiar. "What is this?"
A man with sunglasses, bald head, and suit suddenly appeared in Lances way. "I'm afraid I can't…"
"I don't care what some butler has to say or even do with this." Lance declared. "I don't even know what the hell's going on." He slammed into James' gut before jumping and elbowing him in the chin. "All I know is that I'm not letting that kid lay a finger on Rio."
Lance's pendant was beginning to glow brilliantly as Vetrix made it to Rio and reached out his hands completely ignoring Lance and James. His goal was Rio and that was all that mattered to him.
"Leave her alone!" Lance shouted completely enraged.
He jumped from his current place straight at Vetrix winding up a punch. He wasn't exactly sure why he was being rash only that he got a bad feeling about this whole situation, and that he had to act. No dueling or grandstanding. Nothing except rescuing Rio.
Suddenly, Rio's own energy, crimson, began to resonate with Lance's white magic causing a shockwave of power to spread out knocking James and Vetrix away as the students were enveloped in a sphere of white and crimson. Both Lance and Rio's deck were resonating.
Astral World
A young, child-like being stood alone in the middle of a blue field. If it weren't for his features, you could easily mistake him for a 6-year-old. He was an oddity among the countless other residents because unlike them, he didn't glow.
He also consisted of colors other than the normal blue you tended to see. This six-year-old being was chalk white in color. His hair was short and light blue in color with orange tips. His eyes were heterochromia with the left being dark pink and the right forest green.
His attire consisted of black pants with a red line down the side, black tank top, and red shoes. It was this way on purpose to honor his only true friend and most loyal companion, Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
The being looked up at the sky with wide eyes as he felt two strong, yet familiar energies. "Mom… Dad…" Red-Eyes Black Dragon appeared behind the being and roared. "If I go, Master Eliphas will be enraged. He told me never to leave."
Red-Eyes looked down at the being and gave a soft growl before landing and bowing his head.
"True, Eliphas doesn't seem to like me, and my parents… that's their energy. I'm certain of it." He ran over to the dragon. "You know, I never really had a reason for leaving, but I do now." He jumped on. "Let's get out of here."
Red-Eyes Black Dragon took off to the sky.
Past
"You must remember…" A voice that sounded like Rio's, only mature, reached both Rio and Lance's ears.
Suddenly, the middle schoolers found themselves as passenger in people that looked a lot like them only older and dressed differently. Their counterparts stood in the room of what looked like a castle next to a crib which contained a sleeping baby boy with skin like Rio's.
He also had light blue hair with orange tips. The Lance look alike, which Lance was within, wore white armor with light red highlights. A golden blade was sheathed at his side and the sheathe itself was adorned with five dragons.
One in the middle and two at either the top or bottom of the central dragon. On top of that, three of the dragons were familiar. Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, and Starving Venom Fusion Dragon.
One dragon on the bottom and the central dragon were foreign to Lace. Rio's look alike had pale skin and dark blue hair with light blue bangs. She wore a long hood on her head, white heeled sandals, a white dress, and three gold rings on her legs. The Lance look alike pulled her close.
"Don't worry Marin." The look alike whispered. "I think our son is a great reason to stick around, don't you? I mean, he's proof I've grown to love you and I'm fond of Nasch. No matter what, this is my home. I'm no longer the Wandering Mercenary."
Marin smiled and leaned into him with a content smile. "Thank you for putting my mind at ease Draco. We never talked about this, and I was fearful of what could happen. I am happy to hear you consider these lands your home."
Somewhere Else, Somewhen Else
Draco was faced with an army of dead soldiers in an eerily dead, gray forest. Dust and blood bathed the ground as did the dead bodies of the platoon he'd led to this location. Draco himself had lost his armor, was covered in dirt, heavily injured, and panting hard.
"Sorry Marin. Looks like I won't be coming home like I promised. Nasch, I'm sorry I'll make her cry. I just don't have the energy to summon one of my dragons to get away." He picked up his sword and stood his ground. "Both of you, look after Vega."
"Alright, you want a piece of me come get it. I killed your leader, but I won't be satisfied until you've paid for every death. Both my men and the countless innocents you've slaughtered. For the United Lands of the Poseidon Ocean!"
Draco charged the soldiers, who reacted in kind, only for flames to rain down on the dead while leaving Draco unharmed. A fierce black and red dragon, more like a demon, landed. Marin jumped off and ran to Draco who fell to his knees relieved.
"Draco!" Marin slid to her knees next to him with tears in her eyes. "I made it." The tears fell. "Right? You're okay?"
Draco chuckled. "Never better, Love." He smiled at her. "Especially now that you're here."
On the Dragon, Later…
Draco rested on Marin's lap and she held him close as the dragon took them home.
"I'm sorry Marin." Draco stated. "I really am." He gently placed his hand on her right cheek. "I deserve whatever Nasch does to me for making you cry
Marin smiled. "He's not going to do anything. I'll make sure of it."
Draco chuckled. "Excuse me if I don't believe you. I did make his sister cry while almost leaving her and his beloved nephew. It was only by my wife coming to find me that saved my life. I'm pretty sure she didn't have permission to leave the kingdom either."
"Just don't worry about that. I promise I'll smooth everything over with him." Marin smiled. "If there's one person who hates to see me sad more than you, it's him."
"True." Draco stated. "Anyways, mind telling me how you came riding in on this mighty dragon?"
"Her name is Red Dragon Archfiend. She contacted me from the Dragon Lands, within the realm, and told me you were in trouble. You've been a steadfast ally of the dragons, so it's not surprising they'd want to help you.
This one contacted me because she felt kinship to me. Now, the Wandering Mercenary isn't the only Dragon user around the United Lands of the Poseidon Ocean. She's told me she wants to stay with me."
Draco nodded. "That's good. A dragon who offers loyalty truly shows it. She'll be a fine companion."
"Are you hoping Vega follows in our footsteps now?" Marin asked.
"Naturally." Draco looked up at her as his hand dropped. "The thought of never seeing you or him again…"
Marin began gently running her right hand through his hair. "You're seeing me now, and you'll soon see our son upon. For now, rest. You've earned it."
Draco smiled. "Thank you, Love."
Suddenly, everything vanished in a sphere of light.
With Vega: Present
The child looking being soared through space atop his Red-Eyes. Both were cloaked in a fusion of crimson red and deep blue energy to protect them.
"Hey Red- Eyes, you think Uncle Nasch will be there to?" Vega asked. "I know aunt Ursa said it was impossible, but she also said my father and mother being alive was impossible as well."
Red-Eyes roared.
"It's a possibility, right?" Vega nodded. "I thought so." He looked around at the space contemplatively. "I wonder if they'll even want me or what forms they have now?"
Red-Eyes gave a comforting growl.
Vega nodded firmly. "You're right. I can't let my fear and doubt dissuade me from what is done. I chose this path, so I must stick to it."
Suddenly, Red-Eyes was forced to stop as a golden figure appeared before him and a crimson red figure appeared behind.
Vega looked at them both shocked. "Master Eliphas…" He stared at the crimson figure which radiated power. "That must be Don Thousand…"
"Vega, return to Astral World immediately!" Eliphas commanded.
Don Thousand spoke, but Eliphas didn't seem able to hear him. "Do not listen to him young Barian Emperor. Return to your true home. Dumon has missed you, Nasch, and Marin since your disappearances. Wouldn't you like to make him happy?"
"Dumon?" Vega questioned. "That name sounds familiar, but I don't recall ever hearing it."
"Vega, what are you saying?" Eliphas questioned. "Who are you talking to?"
Vega closed his eyes, nodded his head firmly, and opened them completely determined. "I don't care what either of you have to say because I know for a fact my mother and father are on Earth, so that is where I'm heading."
"I knew taking in a Barian was a mistake, but I saw in you the opportunity to Rank Up." Eliphas stated. "Guess I was both wrong and a fool."
Don Thousand said, "If you deny your true home, I will take you by force."
"Arise, New Order 13: Etheric Amon." Eliphas declared.
"Destroy him Number C1000: Numeronius." Don Thousand added.
Behind Eliphas, there appeared a giant monster with gold wings while one with dark blue wings appeared behind Don Thousand.
Vega looked at the two monsters in shock and awe. "I-I can't fight them both. I don't think I could even fight one of them if they were alone. I have to do something!"
Red-Eyes Black Dragon gave a mighty roar before flying straight for Earth. Two beams were fired from the monsters, so Red-Eyes threw Vega off him in a way that his body took the hits. Red-Eyes cried out in agony as an explosion of light formed.
Fortunately, Vega was left unharmed by the blast and the shockwaves sent him hurtling towards earth. Unfortunately, those same shock waves rendered him unconscious and Red-Eyes turned into a sphere of light that entered Vega for recovery.
Park: Present
The sphere vanished leaving Rio and Lance standing. Lance was utterly confused while Rio was both that, yet also feeling an odd sense of familiarity when she thought back to her own time with Lance.
Weather she believed those were them in the past or not, which she had no idea, it did help put things in perspective with her own feelings for Lance. That said, now was not the time for such thoughts.
"Rio, do you have any idea what that was?" Lance asked.
Rio shook her head. "No idea."
"Well now, this is quite the interesting development." Vetrix stated. "I had heard about that power of yours, Lance Hogan, but to see it in person… I think you and Rio both need to come with me."
"If you want Lance, I'm sure my own leader would be fine with me lending assistance in that matter." James stated.
Vetrix was curious, but he decided to focus on more pressing matters. "If you wish to aid me, I will not deny it. It'll only make this go by quicker."
Rio and Lance ended up going back to back.
"What do we do Lance?" Rio asked.
"We duel them together." Lance state. "I know you may have lost alone, but together I think we can do this."
Rio felt more confident with Lance around, but before she could answer, she noticed Lance's deck and extra deck give off faint, white or crimson glows. Lance was too focused on the current matter to notice. She then heard roaring coming from her deck and extra deck.
She quickly skimmed through them only to find that her Blackwings were replaced by cards used to facilitate the summoning of Red Dragon Archfiend as well as various forms of the same dragon. Even her Number had changed.
"What!?" Rio questioned before hearing another round of roaring. "This night is confusing, but at least these cards… I guess… seem like they want to help me." She shook her head firmly. "Let's put this matter to bed."
So, the two faced off with Vetrix and James only for Lance's pendant to warn him of incoming power. "Rio, jump forward, now!"
Rio trusted him, so she jumped, at the same time as him, only for a beam of crimson and white to impact the ground creating a crater. In that crater there was an eerily familiar boy laying there unconscious. Make him a baby, and you'd have a ringer for the baby both had seen.
This boy had Rio's pale skin. He also had light blue hair with orange tips, and his attire consisted of black pants with a red line down the side, black tank top, and red shoes. A black and red deck box was gripped tightly in his hands.
"This only gets more interesting." Vetrix stated rather delighted. "Such power upon his arrival. I must also have him."
James didn't like the thought of giving some kid to Vetrix even though they seemed powerful. He decided to act once the current matter was settled. By act, he meant taking the kid to the police or something. There was no way he was leaving a kid with his current 'ally'.
"Lance…" Rio began.
"I see it to Rio, but as unbelievable as that is, I believe we would better serve him by dueling these two." Lance declared. "See his chest? It rises and falls at a steady rate. For now, stay focused but keep an eye on him. We don't know who else is out there."
Rio looked at the child before closing her eyes. She had a strong urge to take care of the boy, but Lance was right.
She took a deep breath. "Let's do this."
Street Near Organization vs Dos
Crow had been in the area when Lance sent in that call of all the duels going on, so it was a simple matter of driving to the location on his police bike only to stop when he noticed his wife coming out of an alleyway.
"There you are Zeera." Crow stated. "I was keeping my eyes peeled for you hoping to catch sight of you."
Zeera winked. "I'm glad I caught your eye, but this is hardly the time."
Crow rolled his eyes with an amused smile. "Not what I meant." He became serious once more. "The roof's coordinates lie just ahead. Are you picking up anything like Lance?"
Zeera shook her head. "I got nothing. Seems Lance takes after Zack when it comes to his magical abilities."
Crow nodded. "Right, well hop on and we'll…"
"Look out!" Zeera shouted as she tackled Crow off the bike as a red whip ensnared her wrist before vanishing.
"Seems like a spot of bad luck on my end." Shane stated as he walked into the light of the streetlamp. "Doesn't matter since I plan on ensnaring both of you."
Crow was on his feet ready now as he looked at Shane. "Honey, isn't that the Shane kid Lance was training?"
Zeera was focused on Shane. "Crow run to the building. He's not going to let you take your bike from here."
Shane shot out another whip, but Crow rolled to the right avoiding it. "Ah, right… I'll be going now."
He ran into the alley Zeera emerged from avoiding another whip that came his way.
Shane grit his teeth. "Seems he got away."
Zeera stared the kid down. "You're certainly not acting like the kid my son spoke about. The red whip associates you with Number Hunters. That leads me to suspect you've been lying to my son, Yuma, and their friends. Why suddenly come out of hiding?"
"Very observant Zeera Hogan." Shane declared. "I am indeed a Number Hunter. Just not on the Arclights or Kite and Shun's side. Permanently… that is. Our leader wants as many hands-on deck for tonight in hopes of helping the Arclights."
"That is?" Zeera asked.
Shane chuckled amused. "Now. Now. Now. I believe you are aware sharing secrets is rude. You are an adult after all. That said, I'll tell you if you manage to beat me in a duel."
"I'm locked in anyways, so let's see what you got kid." Zeera stated.

(Zeera 4000/Shane 4000)
"I will start." Shane declared. "I summon Malicevorous Skewer(LV 2/300/300)." A purple armored demon with a skewer for a weapon appeared. "When Skewer is summoned, I can special summon a Malicevorous monster from my hand.
I choose Malicevorous Knife(LV 2/600/100)." A fiend in purple armor and wielding a red knife appeared. "When a Malicevorous monster with a different name is summoned, I can special summon Malicevorous Spoon(LV 2/100/500)."
A small fiend in purple armor and wielding a spoon appeared. "I'm far from done. I'll overlay all three level 2 monsters to Xyz summon Number 96: Dark Mist(R 2/O 3/100/1000)." A truly fiendish, monstrous figure appeared with razor sharp claws and blazing fire eyes.
Dark Mist chuckled as he appeared to Shane. "Not wasting any time, I see."
"Why should I when my opponent is so well known?" Shane thought. "I then activate Overlay Reward. By targeting an Xyz monster, such as Dark Mist, I can draw cards equal to their overlay units. With three units, that's three cards. I'll end my turn with a face down."
"Dark Mist… the Number Lance told me of. So, this is where it went, but the question is whether or not it's the thing controlling Shane?" Zeera drew. "You're opening play is good, but good will only carry you so far in a duel against the Queen of Games.
Observe as I end this duel now. On the Stand-By Phase, I can special summon Speedroid Skull Marble(LV 7/0/3000)." A long green and yellow train appeared. "This is done since you control a monster summoned from the extra deck.
I'll then normal summon Speedroid Gum Prize(LV 1/0/800)." A small robot with a metal pack of gum on its back appeared. "I'll use Gum Prize to give Skull Marble a tune up and Synchro for 8. Synchro Summon Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon(LV 8/3000/2500)."
A blue and brown dragon with white armor appeared.
"A powerful monster, but nothing I can't handle." Shane declared.
"I know your monster is capable of handling strong monsters." Zeera smiled. "Then again, who said this was your normal, strong monster? First, I activate both Hi-Speed Relevel and Shock Surprise. Both require at least one monster to be banished from the grave for activation.
Keeping that in mind, I'll banish Skull Marble for Relevel and Gum Prize for Shock Surprise. Now for the fun. Because Skull Marble was banished for Relevel, my Synchro Dragon becomes level 7.
He also gains 500 attack x his current level Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon(LV 7/6500/2500 effect). That's not all, as the banishment for Shock Surprise allows me to destroy any card I see fit on your field. That face down spell/trap is the perfect target."
"Those were some powerful effects, but it is nothing I can't handle." Dark Mist declared.
"Now, my Synchro Dragon will end this by destroying your Number." Zeera declared.
Shane held out his hand. "I activate Dark Mist ability. By detaching one overlay unit, your monster loses half its attack and my monster gains that same amount. What was that about ending this in one turn?"
"Exactly as I said because one of my dragon's abilities activates." Zeera countered. "When my opponent activates a Mosnter's effect, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon can negate it and destroy the monster who attempted to activate it."
Dark Mist was shocked. "There's really a monster out there that can do this!?"
Shane grit his teeth. "Damn it!"
"Not that it really matters in the end, but my dragon gains the attack of the monster destroyed by this effect. That's a total of 6600 ATK now switched to a direct attack (Zeera 4000/Shane 0)." Zeera declared.
Shane was blown onto his back defeated. "Damn it… she's far better than they say."
Zeera approached him. "Now, let's hear those answers to my questions."
Shane got to his feet. "My leader is Declan Akaba, that's not his real name, and our deal does not involve you learning it. I'm just a member of the Lancers. I serve faithfully, so I have no idea why the Arclights are out tonight.
I only know it has something to do with Organization, Nelson Andrews, Shark Kastle, and Rio Kastle. I was ordered to patrol this area for anyone looking to interfere. My goal in this tournament is to gather Numbers and information."
Zeera stood before him with her arms crossed. "To think, this Declan Akaba would use a kid to do his dirty work."
Shane chuckled. "Aren't your son, Yuma, and his friends fighting this same battle I'm fighting?"
"You may have a point." Zeera sighed. "It is unfortunate that we must always count on those younger than us to protect the world, but something about them seems to make fate choose them. Every time, the world has survived. That said, they aren't alone."
"You are right about that." Shane nodded. "Your son and Yuma have acquired quite the number of strong allies, but it won't matter in the end. Declan will come out victorious and the earth will be saved."
"What are you talking about?" Zeera asked.
Shane jumped back and drew a spell from his duel disk. "Sorry, I don't think telling you that is part of the deal." He inserted the spell as Zeera ran at him. "Also, your mind is set on helping your son. Anything we do won't get you to change your thinking."
He vanished in blue particles which Zeera ran through. "He got away, but I'll see him at the WDC finals." She looked towards the direction of the roof. "For now, I should focus on what really matters."
She ran to her husband's motorcycle and sped off down the road.
Rooftop: Organization vs Dos
Crimson red, blue, and white energy began dancing around on the roof. Dos was attempting to exert dominance in this battle with her blue and white energies, but Organization merely answered in kind showcasing his crimson and white energies.
The thing that both noted was that there was an air of familiarity. It was hard to tell in either of them, but something about the other's energy gave the other a moment of pause. Their energies dissipated. They were both curious and knew of only one way to find the truth.
In Organization's case, he had a more thought out plan as his crimson red and white energy blazed to life and spread out across the roof top. The two Duelist were now in a field that began to maintain itself.
"I decided to make this duel a little more interesting." Organization declared. "From here on out, any damage we take will be real."
Dos nodded. "Impressive display, but let's not waste any more time than we have."

(Organization 4000/Dos 4000)
"You may go first." Dos declared.
"Gladly." Organization stated. "I activate Heart's Connection and Keyblade Wielders Unite. Both spells activate when I normal summon. Connection allows me to special summon a monster from my hand while Unite allows me to add a Keyblade Wielder from my deck to my hand.
The catch to Unite is that it must have less ATK than the monster summoned. With those effects in mind, I'll normal summon Ventus(LV 4/1500/1500)." A young man with light brown hair, in white and black clothing, and keyblade held backwards appeared.
"Since he was normal summoned, I can both add a Keyblade Wielder from my deck to my hand and special summon Vanitas(LV 4/1500/1500)." A young man in a complete black and red body suit with helmet appeared.
"By shuffling both monsters into my deck, I can fusion summon Ventus 100%(LV 8/3000/3000)." The same young man that had been Ventus reappeared. "He won't be staying because I can tribute him to draw four cards. I'll end my turn with two face downs."
Dos drew. "I normal summon Protector with Eyes of Blue(LV 1/800/1300)." A spellcaster in white armor with white hair and a blue sword appeared. "When Protector is normal summoned, I can special summon a level 1 Light Tuner from my hand.
I choose one of my White Stone of Ancients(LV 1/600/500)." A glowing, white stone appeared. "Now, both are Tuner Monsters; however, I have a different purpose in mind for them. I overlay my two level one monster to Xyz summon Number 78:Number Archive(R 1/O 2/0/0)."
An ancient library filled with arcane text appeared.
"So, that is one of her Numbers." Organization thought. "0 ATK and DEF, but I shouldn't underestimate it for that nor it's low rank."
"Now, it's time to play the guessing game as I'm detaching one overlay unit from Number Archive. By doing this, you randomly choose a card within my Extra Deck. If It's a Number between 1-99, I can summon it." Dos declared.
Organization studied the backs of the cards as they flew by before holding out his hand. "I choose that one."
Under her mask, Dos was smirking. "You chose Number 23:Lancelot, Dark Knight of the Underworld(R 8/O 2/2000/1500)." A tall, white figure with a long, blue scarf and rapier appeared in 78's place.
"Since 78 was used as the material, per its effect, 23 will be banished at the end of this turn. That does not matter because you'll be taking damage now." Dos declared. "Lancelot, attack Organization directly."
"I activate my trap Magic:Areoga." Organization declared. "This trap negates your attack and deals you half your monster's ATK as damage."
"I activate 23's ability. By detaching an overlay unit, once per either turn, I can negate the activation of an ability. My attack is going through." Dos stated.
"I activate my second trap Magic:Thundaga. With this, I can target 23 and make him lose 1000 ATK (Organization 3000/Dos 4000)." Organization declared as he holds his hood down and withstood the pain. "He reminds me a lot of someone who had tricks up his sleeve."
Dos contemplated. "Any time I'd dueled them, there'd always be a second trap waiting in the wings." She stared Organization down. "I set two cards. Don't think you can go quite yet as Number 23 is banished and his materials are sent to the grave.
One of those materials is The White Stone of Ancients. Now that it's the end phase, and it was sent to the GY this turn, I can special summon a Blue-Eyes from my deck. Come forth, Blue Eyes White Dragon(LV 8/3000/2500)." A large, fierce white dragon with blue eyes appeared. "Your move and better make it count."
"Blue-Eyes… I thought it was strange what with the first monster she played, but this takes it to a whole other level. I only know of three people who could have had those dragons and their last names end in Kaiba.
Question is, how does she know a Kaiba? She must be close for any of them to have entrusted such valuable cards to her." Organization drew. "Alright, get ready because this duel is just about over.
Since I control no monsters, I can special summon Leon(LV 3/1200/1000)."A tall figure with red hair and the same cloak as Organization appeared. "I'll follow up with the normal summon of Riku(LV 4/1800/1300)."
A young man with silver hair and yellow, sleeveless shirt appeared."Don't forget my two spells. I won't special summon another monster, but I will take advantage of the other spell to add another Keyblade Wielder from my deck to my hand.
Now I will use Leon to give Riku a tune up and Synchro for summon Final Sora(LV 7/2500/2000)." A young man with brown hair and white and black clothing appeared.
"Don't think your safe because I equip him with Ultima." Final Sora(LV 7/4000/1000 effect). "This spell increases Sora's ATK by 1500 but decreases his defense by 1000. Now destroy Blue-Eyes White Dragon."
"I activate Tyrant Wing giving my dragon 400 more ATK (Organization 3000/Dos 3600)." Dos declared before flinching from the pain.
"Don't think that's all you must endure." Organization warned. "My Sora now deals you extra damage equal to the ATK of the monster he destroyed. Fortunately, it takes the attack of the monster in the grave meaning you're still in the game (Organization 3000/Dos 600)."
Dos screamed in pain as she was hurled back. When she stood, her mask was starting to chip and break. It was meant more to hide her identity than for durability, and with all damage being real, it'd be the first article to go. Especially against any massive damage.
When the mask fell, Organization froze. Her hair and eyes, one white and one dark blue, may be different, but the face was something he could never forget. He once saw it all too often on two other people.
"What's wrong?" Dos asked. "Does my face give you pause my dear brother, Zach."
Organization pulled down his hood revealing a face much like Crow's. Unlike his sister's, his hair and eyes hadn't changed in the slightest beyond the fact that he'd lost the beard. It was still the same, forest green eyes and long orange hair kept in a ponytail.
"Talia…" Zach stated.
"Zach and Talia." A voice stated getting their attention.
Both duelists turned to see that Crow had arrived on the scene. The chief of police, as well as father, was utterly shocked by this revelation.
Both siblings turned to their 'father'. "Crow…"
Crow was too afraid to move or look away for fear that what he was seeing would somehow cease to exist. That his long missing, he never doubted for a second that they were alive, but something had to be done for those that did, children would suddenly disappear again.
He rubbed his hands through his hair. "Where have you two been?" Anger was slowly rising and replacing the confusion. "I never found you, and it tore me up inside. I couldn't find you, so your brother, mother, and grandfather felt your loss every day for a year.
He stepped forward. "Every year, on the day you went missing, I'd spend it in my office going over the case top to bottom. Every lead, clue, and witness account we had. Your mother would lock herself in our room and cry over baby pictures of you.
Your brother visited your graves. At first with Zack but alone once he was old enough. Speaking of your grandfather, he has always felt helpless. He never could help us come together on that single day. So, where have you two been this entire time? I want answers."
Talia and Zach looked from each other, to Crow, and back to one another before sharing a knowing nod.
"All you need to know is that we do not consider ourselves part of your family Crow." Talia stated firmly.
Zach said, "Now, if you'll excuse us, we have a duel…"
"That's not an answer!" Crow yelled interrupting Zach before taking a deep breath to calm himself. "Please, tell me what's going on. I want to understand, and if you're in trouble, then your family can help you."
They ignored him.
Zach/Organization said, "I'll set one card and end my turn."
Talia/Dos drew. "This is the end Barian. I activate Return of the Dragon Lord to special summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon(LV 8/3000/2500) from my grave to the field."
"It's far too weak to defeat my Final Sora." Organization declared.
"Talia and Zach, what is all of this about!" Crow tried to reason with them. "Stop this duel immediately and help me understand."
"That was never the intention." Dos declared. "I activate Fang of Critias combining it with my face down Ring of Destruction to fusion summon Destruction Dragon(LV 8/2000/3000)." A large, dark colored dragon appeared.
"What does that do?" Organization questioned. "It's not like it has enough attack to destroy my monster."
Crow ran forward. "Guys, please talk…"
"There will be no interruptions to this duel." Organization declared.
His left-hand glowed white, and he pushed it at Crow hitting him with a blast of magic that sent the chief of police flying out of the space.
"It doesn't, but he doesn't need it." Dos declared. "My dragon can destroy any card on your field, like your Sora, and since that's a monster, you take damage equal to their ATK."
Organization was shocked. "That means I lose (Organization 0/Dos 600)."
Organization screamed out in pain as he was blasted back. When he hit the ground, the Barian was unconscious, and the crimson and white space vanished revealing Zeera helping Crow sit up. The mother froze when she saw them.
"Zach…" Zeera was wide eyes as she slowly looked at Dos. "Talia…"
Dos ignored her and picked Zach up slinging his unconscious body over his shoulder before walking to the edge of the roof. "Be warned humans for there are more Barinas than this one. I will do my best to defeat them, but I am not their target."
She then inserted a spell into her duel disk before jumping.
"Talia!" Zeera ran to the edge and looked down only to see her children vanish into thin air.
Tears formed in her eyes as the Queen of Games collapsed to her knees. To think that two of her babies where right in front of her only to slip through her grasp. Crow got to his feet, walked over, and got on his own knees before holding his wife.
"I have no idea what's going on with you two, but I intend on getting to the bottom of it." Crow thought determined. "I'm not letting either of you vanish again. Not now that I've seen you. Not now that you were so close. I will bring you home."
Roof Near the Barrier: Nistro vs Declan
D-pad go
Duel Gazer on
Augmented vision link established
(Declan 4000/Nistro 4000)
"The way I see it, you brought me out here, so I'll be taking the first turn." Nistro declared. "I summon Heroic Challenger-Spartan(LV 4/1600/1000)." A warrior decked out in golden armor appeared. "When I control a Heroic Challenger, I can special summon Heroic Challenger-Chain Mail(LV 4/300/1800)."
A warrior decked out in chain mail appeared. "Now my Chain Mail will give my spartan a tune up allowing me to Synchro for 8. Synchro summon Heroic Champion – Mjolnir(LV 8/2800/2000)." A Norse warrior with long golden locks and a metal hammer appeared. "I'll then set one card."
"Interesting, but ultimately ineffective." Declan declared. "I'll activate three Dark Contract with the Gate spell cards from my hand. Once per turn, on my main phase, I can add a D/D monster from my deck to my hand."
"D/D monsters?" Nistro questioned. "Never heard of them."
"You are about to become quite familiar." Declan added three monsters. "All that is required in exchange for this benefit is 1000 life points, per contract, during my next stand by phase."
Nistro was shocked. "That's 3000 life points." He grinned. "Alright, now that's a serious risk."
"Indeed, but it is a risk that does not matter much to me." Declan looked at his opponent. "Now I'm setting my pendulum scale with Scale 1 D/D Savant Copernicus and Scale 8 D/D Proud Ogre."
"Pendulums… exactly like one of those kids from earlier." Nistro thought remembering Nelson.
Declan continued. "I Pendulum Summon D/D/D Supreme King Kaiser(LV 7 2800/2100)." A large fiend decked out in silver armor appeared. "When this monster is pendulum summoned, all face up cards on your field have their effects negated until the turn's end.
That's not all the effects afforded to my monster. Because he was Pendulum Summoned, I can target up to two spell/trap cards on your field for destruction, and my monster gains that many extra attacks. So, I will destroy your only face down."
Nistro was stunned. "He just picked apart my defense."
"Naturally, I cannot make full use of my monster's attacks, and the current field, if my monster is the same strength as yours." Declan declared. "That is why I will activate Proud Ogre's effect. At the cost of 500 life points, my King Kaiser gains 500 ATK."
(Declan 3500/Nistro 4000) D/D/D Supreme King Kaiser(LV 7/3300/2100 effect). "Now my monster will attack your Mjolnir (Declan 3500/Nistro 3500). He will them attack your directly draining your life points."
"I'll admit that's a nice try, but you haven't left me defenseless." Nistro declared. "Since you destroyed a Heroic monster, once per turn: I can special summon Heroic Challenger-Chain Mail(LV 4/300/1800) from the grave. I'm placing him in defense mode."
"Then my Kaiser will use his second attack to destroy him." Declan declared. "I then set one card." Nistro drew. "Now that it is your turn, I shall activate my Contract Laundering trap. With this, I destroy as many contract cards as possible.
In response, they can't activate on my next turn, I draw cards equal to the destroyed contracts, and get 1000 life points for each contract destroyed. So, I destroy all three of my Dark Contracts (Declan 6500/Nistro 3500)." Declan drew his three cards. "You may go now."
"I see. He has cards meant to negate the damaging effects. Damn, this guy is something else." Nistro stared his opponent down. "That's a great deal of life points, but don't think that means you've won.
I summon Heroic Challenger-Ambush Soldier(LV 1/0/0)." A warrior in silver armor with a sword on their left hand appeared. "I activate his ability to tribute him in exchange for two Heroic-Challengers from my grave or hand.
Return Heroic Challenger-Spartan(LV 4/1600/1000) and Heroic Challenger-Chain Mail(LV 4/300/1800). I now overlay both to Xyz summon Heroic Champion-Excalibur(R 4/O 2/2000/2000)."
A mighty warrior decked out in red armor with a huge blade appeared. "I then remove two overlay units to double his attack until the end of your next turn." Heroic Challenger-Excalibur(R 4/O 0/4000/2000 effect).
I'll follow up by equipping Excalibur with Magnum Shield." Heroic Champion-Excalibur(R 4/O 0/6000/2000 effect). "This equip spell can only be equipped to a warrior, and works differently depending on what position said warrior is in.
Since Excalibur is in attack mode, he gains ATK equal to his original DEF. I'm taking all that power and using it to destroy your Kaiser (Nistro 3500/Declan 3800). I end my turn with a face down."
Declan drew. "It appears as though this duel is over. I activate Dark Contract with the Swamp King. This spell allows me to fusion summon once per turn in exchange I must lose 1000 life points on my next stand by phase.
So, I will use D/D/D Doom King Armageddon and banish D/D/D Supreme King Kaiser from my grave to fusion summon D/D/D Super Doom King Purple Armageddon(LV 10/3500/3000)." A large, yellow and purple winged fiend appeared.
Nistro stared at the monster surprised. "That's one powerful monster."
"You haven't seen anything yet." Declan declared. "This monster allows me to target an attack position monster on your field, destroy it, and deal damage to you equal to half its original ATK (Nistro 2500/Declan 3800)."
"You destroyed a monster on my side of the field, so I can special summon Heroic Challenger-Chain Mail(LV 4/300/1800) back to the field in defense mode." Nistro declared.
"Not a problem, but first I will make any cards on the field ineffective at stopping me." Declan stated. "I pendulum summon two D/D Berfomet(LV 4/1400/1800)x2." Two deformed, bipedal fiends with two arms on one side and a black wing sprouting out the other appeared.
"Their effect allows them to target a monster between level 1 to 6 and double it, so I will have them target each other doubling their Levels to 8. Now I build the overlay network with my two level 8 monsters. Xyz summon D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga(R 8/O 2/3500/3000)."
A large fiend decked out in dark red armor on a stone throne appeared.
Nistro's eyes went wide both from excitement, as his blood was really starting to pump now, and surprise. "Two monsters with 3500 ATK in one turn!" He laughed. "You really aren't messing around. How will this end the duel this turn?"
"Now, for Yuga's effect." Declan explained. "After he is Xyz summoned, for the rest of this turn, cards on the field cannot be activated and all effects currently active are negated."
Nistro stared at the field in shock. "Unreal. He could very well beat Shay or Kite."
"Now, Kali Yuga destroy Chain Mail." Declan declared. "Purple Armageddon attack Nistro directly (Declan 3800/Nistro 0)."
Nistro was hurled back by the attack.
Declan removed a spell from his duel disk. "You were effective in testing the capabilities of my deck. With a few tweaks, it will be ready." He looked back at the sphere. "While letting Vetrix have the power for ease of disposal is logical, I cannot deny the negative impact."
He looked at Nistro before drawing out a small pill case, with six blue pills. "You are connected to the Tenjo family and your student, Zack Hogan." He threw the case to Nistro who was now standing. "You will know the right time to use that if it arises."
He inserted the spell into his disk and vanished. Nistro looked at the pill case before pocketing it and walking to the edge of the roof.
"I must be crazy for trusting him, but on the off chance he's right…" Nistro didn't finish that thought and instead focused on the field below him.
Inside the Sphere: Lulu & Tori vs Dextra & Kala
D-pad go
Duel Gazer on
Augmented vision link established
(Tori & Lulu 4000 each/Dextra & Kala 4000 each)
Lulu held out her hand. "Before we begin, I have a call to make."
"Lulu, you're not calling…" Kala began in shock.
It was too late as she called Kite who immediately answered. Both him and Shay were displayed for everyone to see.
"Lulu!" Shay worriedly shouted. "Where are you?"
"We were just about to rush to the security room when we didn't see you or Hart in either of your rooms." Kite added equally worried.
Lulu was doing her best to hold it together. "I'm fine, but Hart isn't here right now. Meet him and Yuma Tsukumo at the windmills. He's taking care of Hart."
"Lulu…" Kite and Shay began before she hung up.
Lulu focused on the duel at hand.
"Lulu, there's no longer a need for this duel now that your brothers know where Hart is." Dextra stated. "Lower the field and come with us for transport before you hurt yourself."
"I won't do that." Lulu stated determined. "If there's one thing Hart needs, it's as few people around, getting in the way, as possible. Yuma, Tori, and Lance are a different story because they aren't out to drag us back to the tower with false promises of seeing our siblings.
After Mr. Heartland hears about this, he'll see fit to keep us apart. You two, like Nistro, may care about us, but you work for Heartland and Faker. There's nothing you could do and no way you could hold up your end of any promise. Now, enough talk. Tori, you can go first."
Tori was worried about Lulu's condition, but she nodded firmly before drawing. "I summon Dragunity Aklys(LV 2/1000/800)." A long, red dragon in silver armor appeared. "When this monster is normal summoned, I can special summon a Dragunity monster from my hand.
I choose Dragunity Senatus(LV 4/1800/1600) in defense mode." A black, humanoid bird man in white and pink robes, with a staff, appeared kneeling before Tori. "Aklys then equips himself onto the monster summoned.
I'll follow up by activating Senatus' own ability. By discarding one Dragunity card from my hand, I can equip him with a Dragon-type Dragunity Tuner from my deck. I choose to equip Dragunity Couse. I then set one card."
"I'll go next." Kala drew. "I activate Ostinato. Since I do not control any monsters, I can fusion summon a Melodious monster using 2 monsters from my deck or hand. I choose two Tamtam the Melodious Diva from my deck.
Fusion summon Schuberta the Melodious Maestra(LV 6/2400/2000)." A woman with long, orange hair appeared. "Since Tamtam, two of them, were used to Fusion summon, I can activate her effect. By decreasing my Schuberta by 500 ATK, I can deal 500 life points to my opponent."
"That's 1000 life points total." Tori was shocked. "While not as much as what Shark can dish out with Aero Shark, it's still impressive."
So, I will use the ability twice to deal 1000 life points to Tori (Tori 3000). I still have my normal summon, so I'll bring out Solo the Melodious Songstress(LV 4/1600/1000)." A light red skinned female in a red, blue, and dark range dress appeared.
"Now, I activate Fortissimo which can grant one of my Melodious monsters 800 more attack. I'll grant it to Solo the Melodious Songtress(LV 4/2400/2000). I can then send this card to the grave to Fusion summon with monsters I control.
So, I'll combine Solo and Schuberta to fusion summon Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir(LV 6/1000/2000)." A small fairy in a blue dress appeared. "I finally set one card. It's your move Lulu."
Lulu drew. "I'm going to show off a monster my brother gave me. I first normal summon Raidraptor-Last Strix(LV 1/100/100)." A red metal owl with green wings appeared. "Next I activate the effect of Raidraptor-Pain Lanius(LV 1/100/100 effect) (Lulu 3900)."
A completely, green armored, raptor appeared. "I can special summon him to the field by choosing a monster I control and taking damage equal to whichever stat, ATK of DEF, is the lowest. They become the same level, but I'm about to change that by activating Level Wave.
I can activate this trap, from my hand, so long as I both sacrifice 500 life points and only choose a level, for two monsters on my field, to become from 1-4 (Lulu 3400). I'll make both Raidraptors level 3 and overlay them. Xyz summon Raidraptor-Fiend Eagle(R 3/O2/1000/0)."
A black and red eagle appeared. "By detaching one overlay unit, I can destroy a monster my opponent controls. The owner then takes damage equal to that monster's original attack. I destroy Bloom Diva (Kala 3000). I then set one card."
Dextra drew. "I normal summon Morpho Butterspy(LV 4/1200/1600)." A warrior butterfly with two shades of blue and one shade of black appeared. "Since I normal summoned a warrior, I can special summon Blue Mountain Butterspy(LV 4/0/1700)." A blue butterfly appeared.
"Now I overlay my level 4 monsters to Xyz summon Photon Alexandra Queen(R 4/O 2/2400/1200)." A female butterfly with pink, blue, and orange wings. "By detaching one overlay unit, I return all monsters to their owner's hands dealing them 300x the number returned."
(Tori 2700) and (Lulu 3100).
"I activate Call of the Haunted allowing me to return Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir(LV 6/1000/2000) back to the field." Kala stated.
"I activate Dimensional Barrier." Lulu stated. "For the rest of this turn, no one can summon a monster card type I declare, and I choose Fusion. That means your Bloom is staying in the grave."
"I set two cards and end my turn." Dextra declared.
Tori: 2700
Lulu: 3100
Kala: 3000
Dextra: 4000
Tori drew. "I activate Return of the Dragon Lords allowing me to special summon a level 7 or 8 dragon monster from my grave. I choose the monster I discarded to activate Senatus' effect. Come Dragunity Arma Leyvaten(LV 8/2600/1200)."
An orange, bipedal dragon with black armor appeared. "When this card is special or normal summoned, I can choose one Dragon-type monster from my grave and equip it to him. I choose Dragunity Couse. I'll then activate his effect.
When he is currently equipped to a monster, I can special summon him. Come on out Dragunity Couse(LV 2/1000/200)." A small, blue dragon in dark purple armor appeared. "Now I'll use my level 2 Couse to give Leyvaten a tune up and synchro for 10.
Synchro summon Dragunity Knight – Ascalon(LV 10/3300/3200)." A bipedal, humanoid dragon in golden armor appeared. "I can activate his effect by banishing 1 Dragunity from my grave, like Leyvaten, and destroy your Photon Alexandra Queen.
Now I equip Dragunity Knight – Ascalon(LV 10/4300/3200 spell) with Dragunity Divine Lance. This grants my monster ATK equal to 100x his level. It also makes him unaffected by trap cards and during the main phase I can equip him with a Dragunity tuner from my deck.
I choose Dragunity Brandistock. Thanks to Brandistock, my monster can attack twice per battle phase. This mean the duel is finished. Now Ascalon take Dextra out of the duel first with a direct attack."
"I activate my first face down, the quick-play Forbidden Lance which decreases your monster's ATK by 800 for this turn. In exchange he's unaffected by traps/spells for the rest of the turn (Dextra 500)." Dextra declared.
"I'll take my second attack and use it to wipe Kala out instead of attacking you again." Tori stated.
Kala grit her teeth until Dextra spoke up. "Activate my face down Kala!"
Kala looked at it and nodded. "I activate Dextra's face down Nutrient Z. Since I'll be taking more than 2000 life points in damage, I gain 4000 life points before the damage is subtracted (Kala 3500)."
"I set one card." Tori declared.
Kala drew. "I activate Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen. So long as I do not control a monster, I can special summon a monster from my hand. Come forth Mozarta the Melodious Maestra(LV 8/2600/2000)." A blue skinned female in a red dress appeared.
"Her effect, once per turn, allows me to special summon a Light Fairy-type monster from my hand. I special summon Shopina the Melodious Maestra(LV 7/2300/1700)." A purple skinned woman with green hair and purple dress appeared.
"She allows me to add a Fairy from my grave to my hand. I'll return Bloom back to my extra deck before discarding the last card in my hand, Score the Melodious Diva, to the grave in order to reduce your Ascalon to 0 ATK. Now Mozarta will destroy it (Tori 100),"
"Tori!" Lulu shouted. "If you got something, then use it."
Tori nodded before looking at Kala. "You activated my Ascalon's second effect. When he's destroyed, I can special summon a Dragunity Synchro monster from my extra deck if it has 3000 or less ATK. I summon Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg(LV 6/2400/800)."
A muscular blue and red dragon appeared.
"Very well, then my Shopina will attack Lulu directly (Lulu 800)." Kala declared.
Lulu drew only to stumble forward as she lost all feeling in her legs and come crashing to her stomach.
Tori ran over and knelt at her side. "Lulu, are you alright?"
Lulu got to her elbows and grit her teeth. "I'm fine Tori."
"Lulu, you should sit this duel out." Dextra stated. "We'll transfer your remaining life points to Tori and allow her to take the next turn."
Lulu shook her head. "No, I'm ending this duel… either through a win or lose but I'm not backing down. I activate my Lyrilusc-Turquoise Warbler(LV 1/100/100). Since I control no monsters, I can special summon her."
A green and blue warbler girl appeared. "When she's summoned, I can special summon another Lyrilusc from my hand or grave. I have a second Lyrilusc-Turquoise Warbler(LV 1/100/100). Now I will overlay my two level one monsters.
Xyz summon Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale(R 1/O 2/400/0)." A colorful bird woman appeared on the field. "Her attack is determined by the number of units she has. For every unit, she'll have 200 more ATK.
She can also attack directly as well as multiple times equivalent to the number of units on her. That wouldn't help us win unless I activate the last card in my hand Back up Rider granting my monster and additional 1500 ATK, 1900 attack total, until the end of the turn.
Now I shall use my two direct attacks on Kala defeating her (Kala 0)." Kala was knocked onto her back. "I end my turn, but before you draw, I'll detach an overlay unit. Now my monster can't be destroyed, and I take no battle damage from battles with her."
Dextra grit her teeth before drawing. "I summon Photon Chargeman(LV 4/1000/1000)." A blue body suited warrior with silver armor over top appeared. "Since I control a Photon monster, I can special summon Photon Vanisher(LV 4/2000/0)."
A silver and light, glowing blue soldier with a riffle appeared. "Now I overlay my two level 4 monsters to Xyz summon Photon Papilloperative(R 4/O 2/2100/1800)" A female warrior with pink and black wings appeared.
"I then activate Xyz Energy. By detaching one overlay unit from Papilloperative, I can destroy Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg. I then launch a direct attack on Tori finishing her (Tori 0)." Tori was knocked onto her back. "Your move Lulu."
Tori got to her feet and looked at Lulu who was now panting, pale, and sweating. Despite this, she moved her arm towards her duel disk, with great effort, and drew.
(Lulu 800/Dextra 500) and Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale(R 1/O 1/200/0)
"I activate the equip spell Psychic Blade. I first must pay life points in multiples of 100, so I will use 300 (Lulu 500/Dextra 500). I can then equip Psychic Blade to my Lyrilusc granting her ATK equal to the life points I sacrificed Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale(R 1/O 1/500/0)."
"That means… I've lost." Dextra declared.
Lulu weakly chuckled. "Correct. Lyrilusc attack Dextra directly (Lulu 500/Dextra 0)."
Dextra was knocked back as the red sphere dispersed, and Lulu rolled onto her back as she looked at the sky. Her breathing was haggard and hard. Dextra recovered, but before she or Kala could make a move, Shun descended.
He folded his wings into the pack on his back and ran to his sister kneeling at her side. "Lulu!" Concern, worry, and relief were all evident in his voice. "You pushed yourself far too hard."
Lulu weakly chuckled. "Sorry to worry you and Kite."
Shay picked Lulu up and sat her in the wheelchair before looking at Dextra and Kala. "You two, take Lulu back to the tower. She needs her machines. Tell Faker and Hartland that I will rip that tower apart if they don't allow Kite and I to see her once we return."
"Right Shay." Dextra stated.
"You can count on us." Kala stated.
They immediately moved with Dextra running into the ship and getting it active again while Kala grabbed the wheelchair.
She looked at Shay. "We'll take good care of her."
Shay looked at Lulu. "I know you will." He looked at Tori and remembered taking her soul after defeating her in a duel. "Leave this girl alone. She walks free."
With that said, Shay flew off into the sky leaving the scene.
Tori looked at Lulu, who had fallen unconscious, before turning her attention to the direction of the windmills. "I will make sure Hart's okay for you Lulu."
She ran off.
