Scene Change: Behind the Sealed Door
Ichigo entered the room. Ichigo could see a long dark hallway. Ichigo cast a low powered Shakkahō, enough for there be light. As Ichigo walk through the dark hallway, Ichigo noticed a photograph on the wall. Ichigo looked to see it was a photo of himself and Tatsuki playing at a park when they were younger. Ichigo resumed walking. He encountered another photo. It was Ichigo in his school uniform with Sado, Orihime, and Uryū right after the rescue mission but, the faces of Uryū and Sado were blacked out leaving Ichigo and Orihime together.
Ichigo started to get creep out but, decided to continue. Ichigo started to jog down the never-ending hallway. The next photo is Ichigo happily eating his lunch prepared by his younger sisters. Ichigo never remembered that this photo being taken. What was also odd was that other people's faces were blacked out as well. Started to get a little nervous, Ichigo ran down. The next photo he encountered was Ichigo lost in thoughts as he looked outside the classroom window. Ichigo never took this photo. Like the other photos before, all the other people's faces were blackout. Ichigo just ran as he ignores all the other photos hanging on the wall.
Ichigo was forced to stop at what appears to be a dead end. This photograph wasn't darkened like the others. This photo has lights shining down on it. As if it was a masterpiece. It was two photos. Ichigo remembered this photo. It was at the last dance at Mashiba Middle School. Ichigo took Moka out to that dance. Ichigo asked Orihime to take this photo. It is one of the few photos Ichigo ever smiled in. He was wearing a white dress shirt with a charcoal vest, blue tie, charcoal dress pants, and black dress shoes. While Moka was wearing a black Victorian-styled gown heeled platforms. Ichigo kept a copy of this photo and he remembers giving one to Moka. But, this photo completely different than his or Moka's copy. This photo has Moka's entire side of the photo ripped apart and taped back together. The photo now has Ichigo alongside Orihime's. Ichigo looked around. He was stuck in a dead-end. Ichigo touched the walls and around the photo to find no secret switch or a trick wall. Ichigo decided to try the picture. Ichigo began to touch the picture frame when Ichigo felt some breeze hitting his fingers. Ichigo managed to pull the picture to find a hole behind it. Ichigo managed to create an opening big enough for Ichigo to squeeze through. Ichigo managed to safely squeeze through and enter the hole.
Scene Change: Behind the Photo
Warning Graphic Details!
Ichigo walked through the tunnel to see a light in the distance. Ichigo started to jog towards the light. Ichigo managed to reach the light to find walking out of a closet. Ichigo looked around to see that somehow, he ended up in Orihime's room. Ichigo walked out to investigate this. Ichigo noticed nothing was out of the ordinary. Ichigo walked out of Orihime's apartment. Ichigo then started to walk around the neighborhood. Suddenly, Ichigo saw a body. Ichigo ran over and was shocked by who he founded. Ichigo founded Tatsuki with clothing ripped off of her, bruises all over her, a few large cuts all over the body. The worse was a large hole near her heart. Ichigo could see that the murder cut open a large hole. Then the murder used their hands dug inside Tatsuki's body and pulled something out. Ichigo looked at the gaping hole to see that the murder stole her heart. Ichigo pulled out his phone and discover that there was no service. Ichigo sighed and discovered that there were bloody footprints on the streets. Ichigo summoned Kokugatsu as he followed the footprints. Around the corner, Ichigo found the murder's second victim. The second victim was Unagiya Ikumi. Just like Tatsuki's body, Unagiya's body has her clothing ripped off of her and also has the bruises. Worse was that on Unagiya's body was another gaping hole. Ichigo looked in the gaping hole and saw that Unagiya's heart was also stolen. Ichigo saw a bloodier footprint and followed them. Near the next corner, Ichigo found the murder's third victim. It was Yoruichi! Like the two previous victims, Yoruichi's body has her clothing ripped off of her and also has the bruises. Worse was that on Yoruichi's body was another gaping hole. Ichigo looked in the gaping hole and saw that Yoruichi's heart was also stolen. Ichigo saw a bloodier footprint and followed them. As the bloody footprints slowly get closer to Ichigo's house, he hoped that this madness ends.
As he arrived outside his house, he noticed a body outside. Ichigo ran to it. Her body was face down. Without looking at anything else, this victim was special. Ichigo sees the signs of torture. He could see the victim's arms and legs are broken and twisted out of place. Ichigo decided to flip the victim over to see who it was. Ichigo regretted his decision. When Ichigo flipped the victim over, it was revealed to be Karin. Karin's' body has her all of her clothes ripped off. Ichigo couldn't find a single spot on her that wasn't covered with any bruises. Right in the center of Karin's chest lays another gaping hole. Ichigo looked in the gaping hole and saw that Karin's heart was also stolen. Ichigo saw bloodier footprint leading inside the house. Ichigo ran inside the house. He ran to the living room to the murderer's next victim. The next victim was, in fact, his mother. Ichigo ran to her. Ichigo could tell that the murder also tortured Masaki similar to Karin. Ichigo didn't need to look anymore to see all the similar patterns. Ichigo ran to the kitchen to see Yuzu's arms and legs were butchered in little tiny pieces. Ichigo could see that the oven was on. Ichigo turned the oven off and open the oven door. What Ichigo saw, made him puke in the sink. What he saw was Yuzu's body. Her body is even worse than Karin's and Masaki's. Her vagina and asshole were stuffed with various ingredients. Her face was slammed into the stove, giving her third-degree burns on her face. Due to the oven, Yuzu's body was charred black. Suddenly Ichigo heard a loud thunk from upstairs.
Ichigo ran upstairs and opened his door to see the most horrifying thing ever. He could see Orihime wearing a red wedding dress. Wait… the red is dripping. The wedding dress wasn't made to be red, it was covered in blood! Ichigo looked down and can recognize that pink hair; it was Moka. Orihime was oblivious to this as she carried Moka's heart to the bed. Ichigo noticed that there was a replica of Ichigo on the bed. The chest is opened and Ichigo could see six other bloody hearts in it. Orihime places the seventh one in there and closed the chest. Orihime smiled and began to cuddle with the Ichigo Doll. Ichigo has enough. Ichigo walked over to the oblivious Orihime and slapped her. Ichigo could immediately see that Orihime's eyes slowly regain focus. Orihime's smile turned into shock seeing Ichigo stand there.
End of Graphic Warning!
"…Ichigo?" Orihime said.
"Yes," Ichigo replied.
"H…How are you here?" Orihime asked.
"Doesn't matter," Ichigo said.
"Doesn't matter…" Orihime repeated quietly. "Doesn't matter," Orihime said a little louder. Ichigo could hear the background rumbling. "DOESN'T MATTER!" Orihime screamed out. Ichigo could hear explosions going off. "OF COURSE IT MATTERS!" Orihime yelled at Ichigo. "IF YOU ARE HERE, THAT MEANS YOU HAVE REIATSU. WHICH MEANS YOU DIDN'T NEED TO LEAVE!" Orihime yelled.
"Wait…" Ichigo tried to interject.
"THAT MEANS WE COULD BE TOGETHER!" Orihime yelled. Ichigo smacked Orihime in the face. Orihime turned back to Ichigo with a look full of hurt.
"It would never work," Ichigo said.
"WHY! WAS IT ME? WAS I NOT STRONG ENOUGH OR BEAUTIFUL ENOUGH? WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX MYSELF!" Orihime screamed out.
"It wasn't you," Ichigo said.
"WHO WAS IT! TATSUKI! YOUR BOSS! YORUICHI! THAT WHORE MOKA! WHO WAS IT!" Orihime yelled as tears dripped down. Outside was a tornado destroying everything.
"It was me," Ichigo said. Suddenly everything went silent.
"You?" Orihime said. "N…no that can't be right. You're perfect…" Orihime said.
"Orihime. The problem is that I do not love you Orihime." Ichigo said.
"WHY!" Orihime asked.
"I… just don't. I only love you as a friend." Ichigo answers and walked away.
"No," Orihime said. "No. No. NO!" Orihime screamed. The tornado returned with more fury. Ichigo decided to get out of there. Ichigo used Shunpō to escape and get out. Ichigo managed to Shunpō'ed back to Orihime's room and entered the tunnel. Ichigo climbed out of the hole behind the paint and Shunpō'ed out of the hallway and out of the room. The door unsealed itself as Ichigo ran out to see Dark Orihime.
"How far did you go?" Dark Orihime asked.
"The farthest I went to was the fake Karakura Town and seeing Orihime finish killing Yuzu, Karin, Okaa-san, Yoruichi, Tatsuki, Moka, and Unagiya-san," Ichigo said.
"Shit." Dark Orihime said.
"What do you mean," Ichigo asked. Suddenly they heard a loud slam at the door. All the chains and metal bars moan out due to stress.
"I tricked Orihime to fully plan out her revenge against those girls who 'stole her Ichigo's heart'. While she was distracted, I made all these barriers to attempt to contain her." Dark Orihime said. More slamming could be heard from the door. Some of the chains began to break and more moaning game from the gate. Ichigo chuckle.
"They say that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…Now let's put it to test. Whether a woman's scorned is worse than Hell's fury." Ichigo said as the door finally gives in and breaks. As an enraged Orihime walked out of the door was in her bloody wedding dress. Ichigo summoned Kokugatsu and stand ready. Orihime still had on her bloody wedding dress.
"Roku Shinsei Yōsei Yoroi [Six Sacred Fairy Armor]!" Orihime yelled. Six dull orange lights appeared and revealed all six of Orihime fairies.
"Yes, Mistress." All six fairies said glowed dull orange before starting to spin around Orihime. The dull orange glow covered Orihime to reveal Orihime in some sort of armor; similar to the armor from The Fairy Empress of Six Flowers.
"Stride forth to the gates of Heaven and use your might to tear the Heavens asunder. Charge forth to the gates of Hell and destroy the chains of the damned. Enter the doors of your Humanity and use your strength to shatter fate… ZANGETSU!" Ichigo yelled and released Zangetsu into its Shikai form. Ichigo shunpō'ed towards Orihime.
"Santen Kesshun" Orihime said activated her shield to block Ichigo's strike. Ichigo leaped towards the far right of Orihime and attempted to strike her. Orihime's Santen Kesshun shifted over and blocked Ichigo. Ichigo repeated this. Orihime's Santen Kesshun continued to block Ichigo's strikes. Ichigo shunpō'ed faster in an attempt to catch her off guard. Ichigo even spun in a different direction in an attempt to catch Orihime off guard. In addition to blocking Ichigo's attack, Orihime fired an orange blast from the center of her Santen Kesshun. Ichigo barely managed to dodge most of the orange blast. The orange blast barely grazes Ichigo's arm. That attack managed to cut a large cut through Ichigo's arm.
"Ichigo!" Dark Orihime screamed as she appeared next to Ichigo. The surrounding skin began to bubble. Dark Orihime looked intrigued as the wound closed itself up and looked as if it was never damaged in the first place.
"High-speed regeneration," Ichigo replied.
"I see." Dark Orihime said. Ichigo and Dark Orihime dodge the orange blasts from Orihime. They could see that large fissures appear on the ground from Orihime's attacks.
"Can do you anything to restrict her powers?" Ichigo asked as he remembered the times when Zangetsu would seal parts or even all his powers back then.
"I can't." Dark Orihime said.
"I see..." Ichigo said as he continued to dodge Orihime's attack.
"King. I think you are going to need to use that." Zangetsu suggested.
"I thought so too," Ichigo said as he dodged another attack. Ichigo held both Zangetsu in each hand. Ichigo raised both Zangetsu horizontal. The blades were facing down and the points facing towards Orihime.
"This is the end!" Orihime yelled as she fired another blast towards Ichigo. Ichigo took a deep breath. Black, white, red and blue reiatsu started to swirl around Ichigo.
"Ban…Kai." Ichigo said as the reiatsu storm picked up and engulfed him in a tornado of black, white, red and blue reiatsu. The tornado was forced away by Ichigo. Instead of Ichigo wielding two large blades, he now wields a pair of black tonfas like weapons. One part of the black tonfas covering Ichigo's fists; looking like knuckle guards. While a large black blade goes in line with Ichigo's forearm. Ichigo's outfit also changed. Ichigo now has black, bandage-like carapace forms around his torso, neck, and over the nose and mouth in mask fashion and the remains of a tattered black cloak cover his lower body. "Tensa… Zangetsu." Ichigo said.
Before Orihime could comment about Ichigo's new Bankai, Ichigo appeared right next to her and swung a punch at her. Orihime managed to raise her Santen Kesshun to block the first punch. Ichigo saw that the shield barely withstood the attack. With that in mind, Ichigo decided to continue the assault. Ichigo used the enhanced speed to jump around and quickly attack Orihime and then shift to another part of the shield. Orihime did not have enough time to allow the shield to recover. She forced more and more reiatsu in an attempt to strengthen the shield. However, the blows were too much for the shield. Ichigo managed to break Santen Kesshun and punched her in the face. The blow was strong enough to knock her a few feet away. Ichigo immediately jumped and grabbed Orihime's face.
"Inemuri," Ichigo said. Orihime's pupils dilate several times before they fall unconscious. Ichigo carried her out of the rubble.
"New Bankai?" Dark Orihime commented.
"Ya," Ichigo replied.
"What does it do?" Dark Orihime asked.
"Just like before, Tensa Zangetsu increases my speed, durability, and attacks. What my true Tensa Zangetsu also does is that it condenses Zangetsu's destructive power into my knuckle blades. This allows my hands to hit as hard as a normal Getsuga Tenshō. I can also fire a Getsuga Tenshō from my hands." Ichigo said.
"I see. Anything else?" Dark Orihime asked.
"The other thing I can do is one ultimate finisher," Ichigo said and deactivated his Bankai. Dark Orihime called the six fairies. Orihime glowed the dull orange before Orihime's armor vanished and the six fairies appeared. Ichigo found a small clearing that was not destroyed and laid her down. Ichigo then took out both the Millennium Key and Millennium Scale.
"What are you planning to do?" Dark Orihime asked.
"What I am going to try and do is essentially switch you and Orihime around," Ichigo answered.
"What?" Dark Orihime replied; further confused.
"I am going to use the Millennium Scale to shift the control of Orihime's powers to you." Ichigo began.
"Ok…" Dark Orihime replied.
"Then I will use the Millennium Key to make it where you are the person in control of Orihime's body," Ichigo said.
"I see." Dark Orihime said. With the explanations done, Ichigo began to concentrate. Dark Orihime could see the normal Orihime began to lose color. Orihime's orange hair slowly turned black. Her skin turned bleached white and her clothing became black and white. In contrast, Dark Orihime began to have orange hair, her skin began to become a light tan and her clothing began to have color. A few seconds later, we see what appears to be 'Dark' Orihime on the ground and the 'normal' Orihime standing right next to Ichigo. From 'Dark' Orihime, a dull orange glow appeared around 'Dark' Orihime and wraps itself around the fairies. Slowly that glow shifted from 'Dark' Orihime to 'Normal' Orihime. 'Normal' Orihime let out a gasp as she gains full control of her powers.
"It is done," Ichigo said as he lowers the Millennium Items.
"Thanks!" 'Normal' Orihime said. "What are you going to do about her?" 'Normal' Orihime asked as she points at 'Dark' Orihime. Ichigo grabbed 'Dark' Orihime and carried her through the rubble and back to the fake Karakura Town. Ichigo found the cemetery there. Ichigo created a stone tomb for 'Dark' Orihime. Ichigo placed her inside the tomb, cast a few kidō to prevent 'Dark' Orihime from waking up and sealing the tomb. Ichigo found the entrance to the fake Karakura Town and sealed it with kidō and lock it by using the Millennium Key.
"Why are you using the Key?" 'Normal' Orihime asked.
"Any change that involves the Millennium Key requires the person to touch the Millennium Key to undo the changes," Ichigo explained.
"So if 'Dark' Orihime manages to break free, she can't undo the changes you did unless she acquires the Millennium Key." 'Normal' Orihime said.
"Exactly," Ichigo said as he walked out of the gate and locked it once more with Kido and the Millennium Key.
"Thank you Kurosaki-sama." The fairies said and bowed to Ichigo.
"You welcome," Ichigo said and left Orihime's mindscape.
Scene Change: Ichigo's Room
It has been a few minutes since Ichigo entered Orihime's mind.
Yuzu was pacing around. Waiting for Ichigo to come out of Orihime's mind. Meanwhile, Karin was lying in the bed with Eu.
"Yuzu stop it," Karin said.
"I know. I know." Yuzu responded as she looks at the frozen Ichigo and Orihime. Suddenly the key began to turn counterclockwise.
"Karin look." Yuzu said as she points at the key. Everyone watched as the key finishes turning and Ichigo unfroze.
"Are you alright Ichi-nii?" Yuzu asked.
"I am Yuzu," Ichigo said.
"Ichigo. Can you let me out now?" Orihime said; scaring everyone but Ichigo.
"Sure," Ichigo said as he removed the kidō on Orihime. Ichigo ripped open a Garganta.
"Thank you," Orihime said and left.
"…What just happened?" Yuzu said.
"Girls sit down," Ichigo said. Yuzu, Karin, and Eu sat at the couch, facing towards Ichigo. Ichigo sat down and began to tell the girls what happened. Once Ichigo finished telling the girls what happened, Ichigo saw the expected reactions. Eu remained deadpanned but Ichigo could tell that Eu was still shocked at what Ichigo's friend became. While Yuzu and Karin were shocked at how insane Orihime became. "Girls. Try and get some sleep if you can." Ichigo said as he stood up.
"Where are you going?" Eu asked.
"To get some fresh air," Ichigo said and left the room.
Scene Change: Dueling Arena
Ichigo used the elevator to arrive at the Dueling Area located above the KaibaCorp Blimp. When Ichigo arrived; Ichigo expected to be the only one there. Surprisingly Yugi was out here as well.
"Hello Yugi," Ichigo said.
"Oh. Kurosaki-san." Yugi said.
"Yugi, I told you many times, you don't need to be that formal with me," Ichigo said.
"Sorry," Yugi replied. "What are you doing out here?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Ichigo countered.
"I asked first," Yugi replied.
"Fine," Ichigo said. "I decided to get some air."
"So did I," Yugi said. The two stared out at the night sky. After a few minutes of staring in the night sky, Ichigo got bored and had a great idea.
"You know what, let's duel right now," Ichigo suggested.
"What?" Yugi replied.
"Yes. From what I heard from Mokuba, all the duels you had were with Rare Hunters. Duels where your Millennium Puzzle was at stake." Ichigo said.
"So… a fun duel?" Yugi asked, clarifying the request.
"Ya," Ichigo said.
"Sure," Yugi said. The Millennium Puzzle began to collect reiatsu to do the soul swap. Ichigo silently sent a burst of reiatsu to temporally short circuit the Millennium Puzzle. Yugi looked at the Millennium Puzzle with confusion.
"You are dueling me Yugi, not Yami," Ichigo said.
"Why?" Yami asked as he appears next to Yugi.
"The reason why is that Yugi needs to grow stronger. I understood Yami taking over for most of the other duels since there was something at stake. But, this is a fun duel and this allows Yugi to grow." Ichigo explained.
"I see…" Yami said. "Yugi," Yami said mentally.
"Yes, Pharaoh?" Yugi replied.
"I am sorry that in many of these duels I took over and prevented you from growing into a better duelist," Yami said.
"No problem," Yugi replied.
"Yugi," Ichigo said to regain Yugi's attention. "Are you ready to duel?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes I am," Yugi said. Ichigo walked to the other side of the open field and inserted his deck.
{Yugi 4000/Ichigo 4000}
"I summon Queen's Knight in attack mode!" Yugi said as a woman in red armor appears on the field. "I set one card face down and end my turn," Yugi said with 4 cards in hand.
"I draw. I summon Black Stone of Legend." Ichigo said as a black and red egg appears on the field.
"Not so fast," Yugi said. "I activate my trap card, Chain Destruction," Yugi said.
"What?" Ichigo asked.
"I can choose one monster with 2000 attack points or less and you have to send all other copies of that card in your hand or Deck to the graveyard," Yugi explained. Ichigo sent his other two copies of the Black Stone of Legend to the graveyard.
"By tributing my egg, I can special summon one Level 7 or lower Red-Eyes Monster from my deck," Ichigo explained. "Come forth, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Ichigo said as the Black Egg breaks open and another black dragon takes its place. "I attack your Queen's Knight." Ichigo declared. The Red-Eyes destroyed Queen's Knight with a crimson fireball.
{Yugi 3100/Ichigo 4000}
"I end my turn," Ichigo said with 5 cards in hand.
"Draw," Yugi said. "I activate my spell card, Monster Reborn to bring back my Queen's Knight," Yugi said as Queen's Knight reappeared on the field. "I then summon out my King's Knight," Yugi said as a man in orange armor appears. "I then activate my King's Knight's effect," Yugi said as both Queen's Knight and King's Knight began to glow. "When Queen's Knight and King's Knight are on the field, I can special summon out Jack's Knight from my hand or deck!" Yugi said as a man in blue armor appears on the field. "Then I activate my Polymerization, which allows me to fuse my three knights to bring out, Arcana Knight Joker!" Yugi yelled. The three knights jumped into a swirl of colors. From that swirl, another knight jumped out. He had black armor and appears older than any of the other knights. "Now then, Arcana Knight Joker, attack Ichigo's Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" Yugi ordered. Arcana Knight Joker charged forward and swung his sword and slew the Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
{Yugi 3100/Ichigo 2600}
"I set my last two cards down and end my turn," Yugi said; ending his turn with zero cards in his hand.
"Draw," Ichigo said. "I activate my Red-Eyes Fusion. I send my Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon and my Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact to the grave to Fusion Summon, my Meteor Black Comet Dragon!" Ichigo said. "I then use his effect to send my Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon to the grave to inflict 1400 to your life points," Ichigo said.
{Yugi 1600/Ichigo 2600}
"Meteor Black Comet Dragon, attack Yugi's Arcana Knight Joker!" Ichigo ordered.
"But my Arcana Knight Joker is 3800 compared to your Meteor Black Comet Dragon with only 3500," Yugi said.
"Not for long," Ichigo said. I activate the effect of Vengeance!" Ichigo said as he reveals a black angel looking monster card from his hand. "During either player's Damage Step, when a DARK monster I control battles: I can send this card from my hand to the Graveyard; that monster gains ATK equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling, until the end of this turn," Ichigo said.
"What!" Yugi said. As Meteor Black Comet Dragon's attack rose to 7000 ATK.
"Then I activate my trap card, Spellbinding Circle!" Yugi said. As a seal from the trap card came and sealed Meteor Black Comet Dragon. "This card prevents your Meteor Black Comet Dragon from attacking or changing its battle position as long as this card is on the field," Yugi said.
"Fine. I end my turn with a face down." Ichigo said.
"Draw," Yugi said. "I activate Pot of Greed to draw two more cards," Yugi said. "Then I will have my Arcana Knight Joker attack your Meteor Black Comet Dragon!" Yugi said.
"Not so fast! "I activate my quick spell, Battle Fusion!" Ichigo said. "When an attack is going on involving my Fusion Monster and my opponent's monster, my Fusion Monster gains the ATK of my opponent's monster," Ichigo explained.
"What!" Yugi said. As Meteor Black Comet Dragon's attack rose to 7000 ATK.
"Now then, Meteor Black Comet Dragon counterattack!" Ichigo yelled. As Meteor Black Comet Dragon fired a black fireball at Arcana Knight Joker.
"I activate my other facedown card, De-Fusion!" Yugi said. "By returning my Arcana Knight Joker to the extra deck, I can special summon out my three knights!" Yugi said as Arcana Knight Joker glowed goldenly and Queen's Knight, King's Knight, and Jack's Knight reappeared on Yugi's field. "During my Main Phase Two, I sacrifice my Queen's Knight, King's Knight, and Jack's Knight…" Yugi said. Then red energy began to surround Yugi.
"Bringer of lightning and skies that roar… Heavenly Dragon, it is time to soar... Show force of unmatched height… Instill hope with thine might… Osiris the Heavenly Dragon!" Yugi yelled. A blast of energy burst out towards the sky, clearing out the cloud. The pillar of light split into three four. Two of those parts formed into wings. Another pillar started to form the long tail as it coils around the KaibaCorp Blimp. Finally, the last pillar formed the head. Osiris the Heavenly Dragon has appeared on the field. Osiris the Heavenly Dragon let out a mighty roar and created gusts of winds blowing towards Ichigo. Ichigo shook this off.
"Good job Yugi on summoning out Osiris the Heavenly Dragon. But, you only have one card in your hand." Ichigo said as he points out the fatal flaw to Osiris the Heavenly Dragon.
"You're right that I only have one card but, this one card will make the difference," Yugi said. "I activate the spell card, Card of Sanctity!" Yugi said. "This card forces all players to draw until everyone has six cards," Yugi said as Ichigo draws 2 more cards and Yugi draws 6 more cards. "With 6 cards, in my hand, Osiris the Heavenly Dragon's attack points are 6000!" Yugi said as Osiris the Heavenly Dragon let out an even mightier roar. "I end my turn," Yugi said.
"Draw," Ichigo said. "I acti-" Ichigo said before being interrupted.
"Enough." Someone said. Yugi and Ichigo looked to see an annoyed Seto and a tired Mokuba. "No duels at the dueling area without official refereeing," Seto said. "You should have known that Ichigo."
"Ichigo?" Yugi said nervously as he turns off the duel disk.
"Ok," Ichigo said, blowing Seto off. Ichigo turned his duel disk off and walked to the elevator. "See you guys tomorrow," Ichigo said as he presses the button for the elevator. Yugi quickly ran over and entered the elevator with Ichigo. Ichigo quickly pressed the close door button before Seto or Mokuba could say anything.
"How do you feel?" Ichigo asked.
"…What?" Yugi replied.
"How did that duel feel?" Ichigo asked.
"It… it felt…good?" Yugi said.
"How did it feel dueling without Yami's help?" Ichigo asked.
"I felt different," Yugi said. Before they could say anything more, the elevator arrived at the living area. Ichigo and Yugi got off.
"Night," Ichigo said.
"Good night," Yugi said as the two went back to their respective rooms.
Scene Change: Hall: Morning
Everyone came down and met to have some breakfast. Everyone except Marik. One breakfast was over, Roland walked out and Fuguta pushed the oversize bingo cage "Morning everyone, we will start the semi-finals right now. Everyone here has an assigned number." Roland said as a screen above him showed the numbers.
[1. Kaiba Seto. 2. Kurosaki Ichigo. 3. Kurosaki Karin. . 5. Rose Franceska. 6. Moto Yugi. Joey. 8. Ishtar Marik.]
"The first duel will be Roland said as the bingo machine light up and the screen shows the remaining numbers. Wheeler Joey vs Ishtar Marik!" Roland announced and then pointed to two corridors. Wheeler Joey and Ishtar Marik, you both will use the elevators in these opposite corridors." Roland said. Joey and Marik followed Roland's instruction. "Everyone else will use the elevator behind us." Roland said as everyone except Fuguta enters the elevator." Everyone soon arrives on top of the elevator. Roland pressed a button as the stage slightly elevates itself and stairs appeared on each side. Joey and Marik walked up on stage. "Duelists, are you ready," Roland asked both. Joey nodded and Marik glared. "Let the duel begin!" Roland said.
[Like Canon]. The duel was amazing. Joey almost won. Joey managed to survive The Winged Dragon of Ra's final attack. Joey almost won but he fell unconscious and Marik won the duel due to a technicality. Everyone went back down to the staging area.
"The first duel is finished with Ishtar Marik winning," Roland announced as the screen changed back and show the numbers.
[1. Kaiba Seto 2. Kurosaki Ichigo 3. Kurosaki Karin 4. Eucliwood 5. Rose Franceska 6. Moto Yugi]
"Our next duel will be…" Roland said as the bingo machine light up and the screen shows the remaining numbers. "The next duel will be Kurosaki Karin vs Eucliwood!" Fugata reported from the bingo machine. Karin and Eu went up to their elevators while everyone else went back up the elevator. Once everyone arrived on stage, Roland took his place as a referee.
"The duel between Kurosaki Karin and Eucliwood begin!" Roland said.
{ Eucliwood 4000/ Karin 4000}
"I'll go first," Karin said. "I summon my Gladiator Beast Bestiari in attack mode," Karin said. "I then set three cards down and end my turn," Karin said.
"Draw," Eu said. " I summon my Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress and activate her effect," Eu said. "I can switch her to defense mode and I can destroy one of your sets," Eu said as Lyla switched to defense mode and shot a beam of light at Karin's left facedown card. The destroyed set was Storming Mirror Force. "I set four cards down and move to my end phase," Eu said as she set four cards down. "During my end phase, I send the top three cards from my deck to the graveyard," Eu said as she sent her Bottomless Trap Hole and two copies of her Shaddoll Falco. "When my Shaddoll Falco was just sent to the graveyard, I can special summon that Shaddoll Falco from the graveyard in face-down defense position," Eu said Shaddoll Falco appears face down. With that, I end my turn." Eu said
"Draw. " Karin said. "I activate my spell card, Raigeki!" Karin said. A large lightning bolt basted from Karin's side to Eu's side of the field, destroying all monsters on Eu's field.
"Not so fast," Eu said. "My Shaddoll Falco's skill activates once more," Eu said as Shaddoll Falco appears face down.
"Doesn't matter," Karin said. "Gladiator Beast Bestiari attack!" Karin ordered. Gladiator Beast Bestiari charged forward and destroyed Shaddoll Falco. "During Main Phase 2, send Gladiator Beast Bestiari back to the deck to special summon out Gladiator Beast Sequtor," Karin said. "With that, I end my turn," Karin said.
"Draw," Eu said. "I summon out my Mathematician," Eu said. "He allows me to send one card to the graveyard," Eu said as she sent her Shaddoll Hedgehog to the graveyard. "When my Shaddoll Hedgehog is sent to the graveyard, I can add Shaddoll monster to my hand," Eu said as she adds another copy of Shaddoll Falco. "Now then, Mathematician attack Karin's Gladiator Beast Sequtor!" Eu ordered.
"Not so fast!" Karin yelled. "I activate Waboku which prevents me from losing any life points for the rest of this turn," Karin said. Three mages appeared on Karin's side of the field and began to chant. A magenta barrier began to appear.
"Before Waboku can finish, I activate my trap, Compulsory Evacuation Device," Eu said. "This card allows me to select one monster and return it to the owner's hand." Eu said.
"No…" Karin said.
"Yes. Gladiator Beast Sequtor go back to the hand!" Eu ordered as Gladiator Beast Sequtor returned to Karin's hand.
"But my Waboku still protects me," Karin said.
"You're right. But only for this turn." Eu said as she ends her turn.
"Draw," Karin said. "I summon my Gladiator Beast Laquari and," Karin said.
"Not so fast, I activate my trap card, Torrential Tribute," Eu said. "When ether players summon a monster, it destroys all monsters on the field," Eu said.
"Sigh. I end my turn." Karin said.
"Draw. " Eu said. "I set one card and activate my trap card, Sinister Shadow Game," Eu said. "By sending one Shaddoll card from my deck to the graveyard, I can flip up any face-down Shaddoll monsters," Eu said as she sent Shaddoll Beast to flip up Shaddoll Falcon. "When Shaddoll Beast is sent to the graveyard, I can draw one card," Eu said. "Now my Shaddoll Falco's skill activates once more," Eu said as she sets Shaddoll Hedgehog down. "I end my turn," Eu said.
"Draw," Karin said. "I set one monster down and another facedown card and end my turn."
"During your end phase, I activate another Shadow Game," Eu said as she sent her Shaddoll Core to the graveyard. "This time, I flip up my Shaddoll Hedgehog," Eu said. "Shaddoll Hedgehog's effect allows me to add one Shaddoll Spell or Trap Card from my deck to my hand," Eu explains as she looks in her deck. "I'll add Shaddoll Fusion," Eu said as she reveals the fusion card.
"Now then, it is my turn," Eu said as she drew. "I activate my spell card, El Shaddoll Fusion to fuse my Shaddoll Beast from my hand and Shaddoll Hedgehog from my field to summon out El Shaddoll Winda," Eu said. "Both Shaddoll Beast's and Shaddoll Hedgehog's effects activate," Eu said. "Shaddoll Beast's effect allows me to draw one card while Shaddoll Hedgehog's effects allow me to add Shaddoll Dragon to my hand," Eu said as she drew a card and added Shaddoll Dragon to her hand. "I now activate my Shaddoll Fusion in my hand," Eu said as she shows her card. "I fuse my Shaddoll Falco and my Lyla Lightsworn Sorcerer to Fusion Summon my El Shaddoll Construct," Eu said. "Now then, Shaddoll Winda, attack Karin's set.
"I activate another Waboku," Karin said as she revealed her facedown card. Three mages appeared on Karin's side of the field and began to chant. A magenta barrier appeared.
"I end my turn," Eu said.
"Draw," Karin said. "I activate my Gladiator Proving Ground. This allows me to add one Gladiator Beast from my deck to my hand." Karin explained. "I'll add my Gladiator Beast Laquari to my hand and set one card down and end my turn."
"Draw. I summon out Shaddoll Dragon." Eu said. "Shaddoll Dragon, attack Karin's face-down card." Shaddoll Dragon charged forward and destroyed Karin's Gladiator Beast Laquari. "Now then, El Shaddoll Winda attack Karin directly!" Eu ordered. El Shaddoll Winda charged forward and blasted a blast of dark fire at Karin.
{Eucliwood 4000/Karin 1800}
"Now then, El Shaddoll Construct finish this!" Eu yelled as El Shaddoll Construct shot violet strings at Karin.
{Eucliwood 4000/Karin 0000}
Everyone left the stage and went back down to the waiting room. "We shall continue the next two duels after lunch," Roland announced to the crowd. Everyone left the room and went to the dining room for lunch. Once lunch was over, everyone went back to the waiting from. Roland and Fugata were waiting on stage. "Our next duel will be…" Roland said as the bingo machine light up and the screen shows the remaining numbers.
[1. Kaiba Seto. 2. Kurosaki Ichigo. 5. Rose Franceska. 6. Moto Yugi.]]
"The duel between Moto Yugi and Kaiba Seto begin!" Roland said. [Like Canon]
The duel was quite impressive. One of the main reasons was the fact that Yugi and Seto summoned both of their Egyptian God cards and Yugi's other ace in the hole, Dark Paladin. He gains 500 ATK for each Dragon-Type monster on the field or in either player's Graveyard and all of Ichigo's deck are entirely dragons so if Ichigo ends up dueling Yugi, he better watch out for him. Instead of returning to the waiting room, Roland yelled out. "The final duel will be Kurosaki Ichigo vs Rose Franceska!" Ichigo and Franceska went up to their elevators while everyone else went back up the elevator. Once everyone arrived on stage, Roland took his place as a referee.
"The duel between Kurosaki Ichigo and Rose Franceska begin!" Roland said.
{Ichigo 4000/ Franceska 4000}
"Ladies first," Franceska said. "I summon my Amazoness Swords Woman and set four cards down and end my turn," Franceska said.
"Draw," Ichigo said. "I activate Cards of the Red Stone," Ichigo said. "By sending 1 level 7 Red-Eyes monster to the graveyard to draw two cards," Ichigo said as he discards Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon to draw two more cards. "I then activate Allure of Darkness," Ichigo said as he draws two more cards and removes Red-Eyes Black Dragon. "Next I summon Black Stone of Legend," Ichigo said as a black and red egg appears on the field. "By tributing my egg, I can special summon one Level 7 or lower Red-Eyes Monster," Ichigo explained. "Come forth, Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" Ichigo said as the Black Egg breaks open and another black dragon takes its place. "I know this is going to hurt but, Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon attack Amazoness Swords Woman!" Ichigo ordered. Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon fired a black fireball at Amazoness Swords Woman. Amazoness Swords Woman yelled out in pain as she took the attack from Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon. Before she was destroyed, Amazoness Swords Woman threw her sword at Ichigo; hitting him in the chest.
{Ichigo 3100/ Franceska 4000}
"I set three cards down and end my turn," Ichigo said.
"During your end phase, I activate my spell card Mystical Space Typhoon!" Franceska yelled out one of her spell cards revealed itself. "I choose the middle card," Franceska said as a large gust of wind charged towards the middle set card and destroyed it.
"The card you destroyed was my Trap card, Return of the Red-Eyes," Ichigo said as his graveyard glows black. "When my Return of the Red-Eyes is destroyed, I can special summon one Red-Eyes monster from my graveyard. "Return to me, Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" Ichigo said as a red light shot out of Ichigo's graveyard as Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon appears in attack mode.
"Now I draw," Franceska said. "I activate Upstart Goblin. You gain 1000 life points and in exchange, I get to draw one card." Franceska said.
{Ichigo 4100/ Franceska 4000}
"I then activate my facedown card, Call of the Haunted," Franceska said. "This trap card allows me to special summon one monster from my graveyard in face-up attack mode," Franceska said.
"Dam it," Ichigo said.
"Yep!" Franceska replied. "Come back Amazoness Swords Woman!" Franceska yelled. "Now I summon out my Amazoness Chain Master in attack mode and reveal two of my spell cards, Sword of the Dragon's Soul and Fusion Sword Murasame's Blade," Franceska said. "Both of these equip cards can only be equipped to Warriors only." Franceska began. "Sword of the Dragon's Soul gives the equipped Warrior an additional 700 attack points and when it battles a Dragon, it is destroyed at the end of the battle phase," Franceska said smiling.
"Shit." Ichigo thought.
"While my Fusion Sword Murasame's Blade gives the equipped Warrior an additional 800 attack points and the equipped monster cannot be destroyed by card effects," Franceska said continuing to smiling. "And the monster I equip these two spells to my Chain Master," Franceska said as Amazoness Chain Master put her chains away and now held two swords; making her attack points 3000. "Now, my Amazoness Chain Master attack Ichigo's Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" Franceska said. Amazoness Chain Master charged towards Ichigo's Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon with no fear. She ran and used both of her swords to cut Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon's head off.
{Ichigo 3500/ Franceska 4000}
"Now then, Amazoness Swords Woman attack Ichigo's life points directly!" Franceska ordered.
"Not so fast Franceska," Ichigo said. "I activate my trap; Red-Eyes Spirit," Ichigo said as his graveyard glows yellow.
"NO!" Franceska said.
"Yes," Ichigo said. "Red-Eyes Spirit allows me to special summon one Red-Eyes monster from my graveyard. "Return to me, Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" Ichigo said as a red light shot out of Ichigo's graveyard as Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon appears in attack mode.
"Dam it," Franceska said glaring at Ichigo's field. "Fine then, Amazoness Swords Woman
attack Ichigo's Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon." Franceska ordered. Amazoness Swords Woman charged towards Ichigo's Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon with no fear. She leaped out ready to slash Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon. Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon blocked her attack and fired a blast of red fire at Ichigo. Amazoness Swords Woman yelled out in pain as she took the attack from Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon. Before she was destroyed, Amazoness Swords Woman threw her sword at Ichigo; hitting him in the chest.
{Ichigo 2600/ Franceska 4000}
"I end my turn," Franceska said.
"Draw. I activate Red-Eyes Insight. This card allows me to send one Red-Eyes monster from my hand or deck and add one Red-Eyes Spell or Trap to my hand." Ichigo said as Ichigo sends a copy of his Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the grave. "The spell card I choose is Red-Eyes Fusion and activate it," Ichigo said. "This time I send Red-Eyes Black Dragon and my Summon Skull to the grave and special summon Archfiend Black Skull Dragon!" Ichigo declared. "Now then, Archfiend Black Skull Dragon, attack Amazoness Chain Master!" Ichigo ordered. Archfiend Black Skull Dragon charged forward and blasted a blast of fire at Amazoness Chain Master and successfully destroyed her.
{Ichigo 2600/ Franceska 3800}
"Now my Archfiend Black Skull Dragon has another neat effect," Ichigo said. "When he manages to damage my opponent, I can send one Red-Eyes Normal monster from my graveyard back to my deck and you take damage equal to its attack points," Ichigo said smiling.
"NO!" Franceska yelled out.
"I send by Red-Eyes Black Dragon back to the deck!" Ichigo said. Archfiend Black Skull Dragon charged up a big black fireball and threw it at Franceska.
{Ichigo 2600/ Franceska 1400}
"I end my turn," Ichigo said.
"Draw," Franceska said. "I set one card down and end my turn."
"Draw," Ichigo said. "I activate my trap card, Return of the Red-Eyes," Ichigo said.
"Another one?" Franceska asked.
"Yes. This time, if I control one Red-Eyes monster, I can special summon one normal Red-Eyes monster from my graveyard. "Come forth, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Ichigo said as a red light shot out of Ichigo's graveyard as Red-Eyes Black Dragon appears in attack mode.
"Red-Eyes Black Dragon, attack Franceska's face-down card!" Ichigo ordered. Red-Eyes Black Dragon fired a black fireball at Franceska's face-down card. It revealed to be Amazoness Paladin and it was swiftly destroyed. "Now then, Archfiend Black Skull Dragon finished!" Ichigo ordered. Archfiend Black Skull Dragon opened his mouth up let loose a large blast of black flames at Franceska.
{Ichigo 2600/ Franceska 0000}
"The winner of the final duel is Kurosaki Ichigo!" Roland announced. "We will have the semi-final duels tomorrow. Use this time to refine your decks and ready for the semi-finals and the finals!" Roland announced. With that everyone left the duel field. As Ichigo was walking away, Kyōka commented on something.
"Hey, Ichigo," Kyōka said.
"Yes, Kyōka?" Ichigo replied.
"Franceska seems familiar to me," Kyōka said.
"I'll look into it," Ichigo replied.
"Ichigo!" Franceska called out as she walks towards Ichigo.
"Yes, Franceska?" Ichigo replied.
"Can I talk to you in private?" Franceska asked.
"Sure," Ichigo said. Franceska guided Ichigo to her room on the blimp.
"Want anything?" Franceska asked.
"I'll take water," Ichigo replied. Franceska gave Ichigo a water bottle and the two sat down.
"You're probably here wondering why I called you over," Franceska said.
"I am," Ichigo replied.
"Before we continue, I want to let you know that I am aware of the supernatural," Franceska said.
"Ok," Ichigo replied.
"I am Franceska Rose and I am the adopted daughter of Ares; the God of War," Franceska said.
"Adopted daughter?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes adopted daughter," Franceska said. "I am half Japanese and half African American." Franceska began. "I lived with my parents and my sister Mila Rose in Japan. But, a large argument broke out and my parents split. I went with my father to America while my sister stayed with my mother.
Flashback: In America
While I was in San Francisco, my father was killed in a collision. He was driving his car when a drunk motorcyclist drove and collided with my father and instantly killing him. As I sat in the car in shock; I noticed other people appearing.
"Ares, what made you so angry?" A woman asked. She was wearing a beautiful white gossamer dress, placed a delicate golden crown on her head, hung gold earrings in her ears, and draped a gold necklace at the base of her throat.
"Nothing for you to concern dear," Ares said.
"What about the child in the car." The woman asked.
"The Mist will take care of this," Ares replied.
"What Mist?" Franceska whispered. Ares heard Franceska's question.
"The child. She can see through the Mist." Ares said.
"She can?" The woman said. Ares approached Franceska. Franceska noticed that Ares is a huge, muscular man with a belligerent attitude and a vicious sneer. He typically wears black jeans, combat boots, a black leather duster, and a red muscle shirt under a bulletproof vest. He has on a pair of red-tinted wraparound sunglasses.
"You can see both of us can't you," Ares asked.
"Y-yes I can," Franceska replied.
"Well, she is your responsibility now." The woman said.
"WHAT!" Ares replied. "WHY?"
"Because of your stupidity, you killed her father. Not only that, but I can also sense something from her." The woman said.
"Fine," Ares replied before looking at Franceska. "Girl get on my bike," Ares said. Franceska got on Ares's bike. Ares took Franceska to San Bernardino; a trip that would take six hours or more in twenty minutes. Ares arrived outside of a building with the words AMAZON on it.
Flashback Ends
"From there Ares took me inside the building to discover that the company AMAZON is operated by Amazons/families of Amazons," Franceska said.
"I see," Ichigo replied. "The story is nice and all but, is there a significant reason for trying to find me?" Ichigo asked.
"Excellent question," Franceska replied. "I was tasked by Lord Hades/ Lord Pluto, to find you and present you with this scroll," Franceska said as she gave the scroll to Ichigo. Ichigo looked at the scroll to see that it is sealed with black candle wax and has an impression of a crown. Ichigo used his finger to break open the candle wax seal. Ichigo unrolled the scroll and began to read the message on the scroll.
"Dear Kurosaki Ichigo, my name is Hades, the Greek God of the Underworld wish to invite Kurosaki Ichigo to meet and discuss the contract that I have with the former Jigoku no Kōtei and wish to revamp the contract if needed. This meeting will include Thanatos, the being in charge of death, Charon the being who collects and guides the souls to the Underworld and Tartarus the being who is in charge of punishing all Greek monsters who defy the rules the Greek Gods have placed. I will have this meeting on the Winter Solstice. Please write your response in the space below. Hades, the Greek God of the Underworld.
"Dear Kurosaki Ichigo, my name is Pluto, the Roman God of the Underworld wish to invite Kurosaki Ichigo to meet and discuss the contract that I have with the former Jigoku no Kōtei and wish to revamp the contract if needed. This meeting will include Mors, the being in charge of death, Charon the being who collects and guides the souls to the Underworld and Tartarus the being who is in charge of punishing all Roman monsters who defy the rules the Roman Gods have placed. I will have this meeting on the Winter Solstice. Please write your response in the space below. Pluto, the Roman God of the Underworld."
"Why was the message repeated with a few name changes," Ichigo asked Franceska.
"You see, due to the Greek being conquered by the Romans and many of the gods being renamed, it caused the gods to have split personalities," Franceska explained.
"I see…" Ichigo replied. Ichigo pulled out a pen and wrote. "I accept." The ink from Ichigo's pen was absorbed by the parchment of the scroll.
"Well, I think my job here is done," Franceska said as she stood up.
"Ichigo," Kyōka said.
"Yes?" Ichigo replied.
"Show her this photo," Kyōka said as she summoned a photo on the table.
"Franceska, can you look at this photo and see if that is your sister," Ichigo asked as he pushed the photo towards Franceska. Franceska looked at the photo to see a dark-skinned, green-eyed person with long, thick, wavy brown hair and large breasts. She has a three-sectioned crown around her head and a thick necklace. She has on armor covering her breasts and upper arms, gauntlets on her forearms, and a white skirt.
"This… This looks like my sister." Franceska said. Franceska then looked at Ichigo. "How did you find her when my stepfather could not find her?" Franceska asked.
"Because she died," Ichigo said.
"What?" Franceska replied.
"The photo that you are looking at is Rose Mila as an Arrancar," Ichigo said.
"Arrancar. What is that?" Franceska said.
"Arrancar are a group of Hollows that removed their masks to gain Shinigami powers and a more human form," Ichigo said.
"What are hollows?" Franceska asked.
"Hollows are souls who lost their hearts to despair or regret, or they remain in the Human World for too long," Ichigo said.
"So…Mila died, and she entered a state of despair and became a hollow." Franceska said.
"Possible," Ichigo replied.
"Possible? What do you mean by that?" Franceska asked.
"Not all hollows lost their heart despair or regret, or they remain in the Human World for too long," Ichigo said. "Some are souls are forced to become Hollows due to various reasons. Some reasons are due to the Chain of Fate being forcibly removed from the soul, souls absorbing Hollow reiatsu or being eaten by a Hollow and managed to gain control of the Hollow due to a stronger sense of will." Ichigo said.
"I see…" Franceska said. "Do you think there might be a chance for me to talk to my sister?" Franceska asked.
"I don't know." Ichigo replied. Before Franceska could question Ichigo's answer, Ichigo explained why. "The reason is that some souls may have lost their memories of their life as a human. Some hollows may retain or regain fragments of their memories." Ichigo said.
"So you are saying my sister Mila may be alive but forgot about me," Franceska said.
"Essentially," Ichigo said. Franceska looked away from Ichigo and let out a long sigh. "Look," Ichigo said as Franceska looked back at Ichigo. "I will do what I can to convince Mila Rose to come to meet with you," Ichigo said Franceska looked up in joy. "But, I can't do that because if I appear in Hueco Mundo then the Shinigami would be able to find me," Ichigo explained.
"Ok," Franceska replied.
"Can you give me your number so that if I managed to get in contact with her, I can get in contact with you," Ichigo asked.
"Sure," Franceska said as she took out her phone and gave Ichigo her number.
"Alright," Ichigo said as he stood up. "I know it is hard to be so close to a loved one but still so far away," Ichigo said as he stared out of the window for a few seconds. "But hope for the best," Ichigo said and left Franceska's room and went back to his room. Ichigo could see that the girls are ready for bed. So Ichigo went to the bathroom got ready for bed. After that Ichigo entered the bed and had the girls wrapped around Ichigo and cuddling with him.
"Good night Ichi-nii." Yuzu and Karin said.
"Good night Ichigo," Eu said.
"Good night Ichigo-sama." Kisara and Valiona said.
"Good night girls." Ichigo said and everyone fell asleep.
Scene Change: KaibaCorp Blimp: Morning
Early morning of the next day, Ichigo heard a phone ring. Ichigo snaked his right hand from Karin and Valiona to reach the phone.
"Hello?" Ichigo asked.
"Hello Ichigo, this is Roland," Roland replied.
"Morning Roland, what does Seto want?" Ichigo asked.
"Master Seto wants everyone to meet in the waiting room in thirty minutes," Roland said.
"Ok. See you in 30," Ichigo said and hung up the phone. "Girls," Ichigo said; waking the girls up.
"Good morning Ichi-nii." Yuzu and Karin said.
"Good morning Ichigo," Eu said.
"Good morning Ichigo-sama." Kisara and Valiona said.
"Good morning girls," Ichigo replied. "Seto wants everyone to meet up in the waiting room in thirty minutes," Ichigo said.
"Ok." The girls said. Valiona and Kisara returned to Ichigo's mindscape while Yuzu, Karin, Eu, and Ichigo put his clothes on and took care of their business. When the four arrived at the waiting room, they could see everyone except the soul-less duelists and Marik.
"Good morning guests and duelist," Seto said as he walks in with Mokuba walking behind him. If you look out of the window…" Seto said as the blinds were pulled away. Everyone could see the sun rising. In the far distance stood a white tower. "The semi-finals of the Battle City will take place in the Battle Tower," Seto said.
"We should be arriving at the Battle Tower in twenty minutes," Roland reported from an intercom system. With that everyone ate breakfast while they waited for the KaibaCorp Blimp to land at the Battle Tower. The blimp landed on the ground outside of the Battle Tower. Before anyone could leave the KaibaCorp Blimp, Seto addressed the final duelists.
"Only the final duelists will leave this blimp," Seto said. Seto ignored the complaints from the guests. "When all four of you leave the blimp, there will be four doors. Each duelist will enter the tower by using a different door. The first two to reach the top of the Battle Tower will duel in the semi-finals." Seto said. The bay door opened up as Ichigo, Eu, Yugi, and Marik walked out of the KaibaCorp Blimp and entered the Battle Tower.
Scene Change: Battle Tower
As Ichigo walked up the Battle Tower, Ichigo could feel that the hallway is slowly shifting. Ichigo placed his hand and used his metal bending to see where everyone is at in the Battle Tower. Somehow Marik is already at the top of the Battle Tower. Yugi and Eu are close together and Ichigo is somewhere in the middle. Ichigo subtly uses his metal bending to force Yugi to be near the top of the Battle Tower. A few seconds later, Yugi arrived at the top to see Marik standing there.
"And our other Semi-Finalist has arrived!" Roland announced from the intercom. Ichigo noticed a door next to him appeared and he took that door. The door leads him to the top of the Battle Tower with Eu. "Our Semi-Final match will be Moto Yugi vs Ishtar Marik and Kurosaki Ichigo vs Eucliwood," Roland announced. Ichigo and Eu moved to the side so that they could see the duel. Each duelist activated their duel disk. "Let this Semi-Final duel begin!" Roland said. [Like Canon]
Ichigo just stood there and allowed the madness that is called a duel to play out. Ichigo was glad that Yami Yugi managed to win the duel especially with how many things going on all at the same time. "This concludes our first Semi-Final match. Our second Semi-Final match will be Kurosaki Ichigo vs Eucliwood." Roland announced. Ichigo and Eu moved to the duel field while Yugi and Marik moved to the side so that they could see the duel. Each duelist activated their duel disk. "Let this Semi-Final duel begin!" Roland yelled out.

"I go first," Eu said. "I set one monster down and one trap card down and end my turn," Eu said.
"Draw," Ichigo said. "I summon out my Black Stone of Legend," Ichigo said as a black and red egg appears on the field. "By tributing my egg, I can special summon one Level 7 or lower Red-Eyes Monster," Ichigo explained. "Come forth, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Ichigo said as the Black Egg breaks open and another black dragon takes its place. "I see," Ichigo said. "Red-Eyes Black Dragon attack Eu's face-down monster," Ichigo ordered. Red-Eyes Black Dragon fired a fireball at the face-down monster to reveal Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter.
"When Ryko is flipped up, I can destroy one card, but I need to send the top three cards to the graveyard. Eu said as she sent Shaddoll Falco, Shaddoll Fusion and Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress to the graveyard. Red-Eyes Black Dragon suddenly glowed yellow before exploding. "Since my Shaddoll Falco was just sent to the graveyard, I can special summon that Shaddoll Falco from the graveyard in face-down defense position," Eu said Shaddoll Falco appears face down.
"I end my turn," Ichigo said.
"Draw," Eu said. "I set another card down and end my turn," Eu said.
"Draw," Ichigo said. "I set one card down and activate Black Stone of Legend's other effect," Ichigo said.

I can special summon a Shaddoll monster from the graveyard in face-down defense position." Eu said as she special summoned the Shaddoll Hedgehog facedown. Eu then flips up Shaddoll Hedgehog. "I activate Shaddoll Hedgehog's effect allows me to add one Shaddoll Spell or Trap Card from my deck to my hand," Eu explains as she looks in her deck. "I'll add Shaddoll Fusion," Eu said. "I activate my Shaddoll Fusion." Eu said, "I send my Mathematician and her Shaddoll Hedgehog to fusion summon El Shaddoll Shekhinaga." Eu said. "I then activate my Nephe Shaddoll Fusion and equip it to my Shaddoll Falco," Eu said. "This card allows me to change the attribute of the equipped Shaddoll Monster," Eu said as Shaddoll Falco glowed white. "Now I fuse my Shaddoll Falco and the facedown Shaddoll Hedgehog to fusion summon out El Shaddoll Construct!" Eu said. "El Shaddoll Construct allows me to send a Shaddoll Monster from the deck to the graveyard," Eu said as she sent Shaddoll Beast to the graveyard. "When Shaddoll Beast is sent to the graveyard, I can draw one card," Eu said.

"Not so fast, I activate my El Shaddoll Shekhinaga's effect," Eu said. "By discarding one Shaddoll card from hand, I can negate the effect of a special summoned monster and destroy it," Eu said as brown strings from El Shaddoll Shekhinaga wrapped around Shaiya, Guardian of the Twilight and destroyed her.
"This is not over yet," Ichigo said. "I remove from play my Red-Eyes Black Dragon and my Shaiya, Guardian of the Twilight to summon out another Shaiya, Guardian of the Twilight!" Ichigo said. "I use Shaiya, Guardian of the Twilight's effect to remove El Shaddoll Construct," Ichigo said. This time Shaiya, Guardian of the Twilight managed to remove El Shaddoll Construct. "Now then, I activate Red-Eyes Insight. This card allows me to send one Red-Eyes monster from my hand or deck and add one Red-Eyes Spell or Trap to my hand." Ichigo said as Ichigo sends a copy of his Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the grave. "The spell card I choose is Red-Eyes Fusion," Ichigo said. "I then activate my Return of the Dragon Lord to bring out Red-Eyes Black Dragon," Ichigo said. "Red-Eyes Black Dragon, attack Shaddoll Shekhinaga.
"But my Shaddoll Shekhinaga is stronger than your Red-Eyes," Eu said.
"True unless I activate this," Ichigo said as he reveals a black angel looking monster card from his hand. in his hand.

"Hello, Ichigo," Yugi said.
"Hello رسول أوزوريس ل." Marik said.
"Please call me Ichigo," Ichigo replied.
"As you wish… Ichigo." Marik said.
"So, it appears that you regain control," Ichigo said.
"Yes, thanks to you Yugi and Pharaoh," Marik said as he unbuttoned his shirt.
"W-what are you doing?" Yugi stuttered.
"My parents carved special writing on my back that contains the secrets to help the Pharaoh," Marik said as he took off and showed Yugi Marik's back. Yugi immediately recognizes that image as the "Tablet of Lost Memories" from Domino Museum. However, it is not the same, although quite similar; both Marik's back and the tablet have the wings at the top, the 3 Egyptian God Cards in the middle and hieroglyphics on both sides of Slifer's carving; although in Marik's back there is a carving of the Millennium Ankh between the God Cards with only hieroglyphics at the bottom of his back, while the tablet has the Millennium Puzzle in between the images of the God Cards, a few hieroglyphics all around, and the picture of Priest Seto and Pharaoh, along with their favorite monsters, at the bottom instead. "Also," Marik said as he gave the Millennium Rod to Yugi. "I want you to take this," Marik said. Yugi accepted the Millennium Rod from Marik.
"Finalists meet at the dueling platform for the final duel," Roland announced on the intercom. Yugi and Ichigo walked up to the dueling platform.
"Remember no Yami. Just you vs me." Ichigo said.
"I remember," Yugi said.
"Are you sure Yugi. Ichigo will be a challenge."Yami said.
"I know but it is something that I need to do," Yugi replied.
"As you wish," Yami said.
"Ready?" Ichigo asked.
"I am," Yugi replied.
"DUEL!" Ichigo and Yugi shouted.

"I'll go first draw," Yugi said. "I summon out Blockman in defense mode," Yugi said as a monster built out of lego appeared on Yugi's field. "I then activate Swords of the Revealing Lights," Yugi said as swords made out of light appear and land on Ichigo's side of the field. "I set one card down and end my turn," Yugi said as he ends his turn with 1 card in his hand.
"Draw," Ichigo said. "I summon out my Black Stone of Legend," Ichigo said as a black and red egg appears on the field. "By tributing my egg, I can special summon one Level 7 or lower Red-Eyes Monster," Ichigo explained. "Come forth, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Ichigo said as the Black Egg breaks open and another black dragon takes its place. " I then activate Red-Eyes Insight. This card allows me to send one Red-Eyes monster from my hand or deck and add one Red-Eyes Spell or Trap to my hand." Ichigo said as Ichigo sends his Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon to the grave. "The card I choose is Red-Eyes Rebirth," Ichigo said. "I set two cards down and end my turn," Ichigo said with two cards in his hand.
"My turn. Draw." Yugi said. "By discarding one card in my hand, I can special summon the Tricky," Yugi said as he discards a card to special summon out a monster with a Question Mark on its face and chest. "Now I activate the effect of Blockman," Yugi said. "Since Blockman has been out on the field for two turns since he was summoned, I can sacrifice him to special summon two tokens," Yugi said. Blockman broke apart and formed two tokens. "I sacrifice my Tricky and my two Block Tokens…" Yugi said.
"Great being of war. Come forth from thy underground. Bound in blood and bone, I offer these tributes to you. Lord of Power, I beg upon thee, Come forth, Obelisk the Great War God!" Yugi shouts. The ground to begin to rumble. Then a roar could be heard. Suddenly a giant being began to form behind Yugi. Ichigo could remember it during Yugi's duel with Seto and Yami Marik. Obelisk the Great War God as appeared. "Obelisk the Great War God attack Ichigo's Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Yugi ordered. Obelisk raised its fist and slammed it down on Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

"I end my turn," Yugi said with one card in his hand.
"Draw," Ichigo said. "I activate my Red-Eyes Fusion. I send my Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon and my Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact from the deck to the grave to Fusion Summon, my Meteor Black Comet Dragon in attack mode!" Ichigo said. "I then use his effect to send my Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon to the grave to inflict 1200 to your life points," Ichigo said.

"Draw," Yugi said. "Obelisk the Great War God attack Ichigo's Meteor Black Comet Dragon!" Yugi said as Obelisk the Great War God tended its muscles and began to send a punch towards Meteor Black Comet Dragon.
"I activate my quick spell, Battle Fusion!" Ichigo said. "When an attack is going on involving my Fusion Monster and my opponent's monster, my Fusion Monster gains the ATK of my opponent's monster," Ichigo explained.
"What!" Yugi said. As Meteor Black Comet Dragon's attack rose to 7500 ATK.
"Go Meteor Black Comet Dragon!" Ichigo said as Meteor Black Comet Dragon blocked Obelisk the Great War God and swung a punch right back at Obelisk the Great War God's face and destroyed him.

"I summon out Queen's Knight in defense mode and end my turn," Yugi said as a woman in red armor appears on the field and ending his turn with no cards in his hand.
"Draw," Ichigo said. "I activate my Trap Card, Red-Eyes Spirit. This card allows me to special summon one Red-Eyes monster from my graveyard." Ichigo explained the effect. "Come back, Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon!" Ichigo said. "Now then, I use my Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon's effect. This card allows me to special summon one Dragon-type from my graveyard. Come forth Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" Ichigo said as another dragon appeared. "I now normal summon you again. This allows my Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon to gain his effect." Ichigo said. "I end my turn," Ichigo said ending his turn with 3 cards in his hand. Right when Ichigo said that, Swords of the Revealing Light vanished.
"Draw," Yugi said. "I summon out my King's Knight in attack mode," Yugi said as a man in orange armor appears. "I then activate my King's Knight's effect," Yugi said as both Queen's Knight and King's Knight began to glow. "When Queen's Knight and King's Knight are on the field, I can special summon out Jack's Knight from my hand or deck!" Yugi said as a man in blue armor appears on the field. "I reveal my facedown card, Card of Sanctity!" Yugi said. "This card forces all players to draw until everyone has six cards," Yugi said as Ichigo draws 3 more cards and Yugi draws 6 more cards. "Then I activate my Polymerization, which allows me to fuse my three knights to bring out, Arcana Knight Joker!" Yugi yelled. The three knights jumped into a swirl of colors. From that swirl, another knight jumped out. He had black armor and appears older than any of the other knights. "Now then, Arcana Knight Joker, attack Ichigo's Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" Yugi ordered. Arcana Knight Joker charged forward and swung his sword and slew the Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon.

Then my White Stone of Legend's effect activates which adds a Blue-Eyes White Dragon to my hand." Ichigo explains. "Revealing one Blue-Eyes White Dragon in my hand, I can special summon one Blue-Eyes Alternate Dragon," Ichigo said. As a Blue-Eyes looking Dragon appears on Ichigo's field. "I activate Blue-Eyes Alternate Dragon's effect to destroy your Arcana Knight Joker," Ichigo said.
"Not so fast by discarding a monster from my hand, I can have Arcana Knight Joker negate the effect," Yugi said.
"I see," Ichigo said. "I activate my Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon's effect," Ichigo said. "I can special summon one Dragon monster from my hand or graveyard," Ichigo explained. "Come forth Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Ichigo said as Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared from the graveyard. "Then I activate my Polymerization, which allows me to fuse my Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my field, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in my hand and my Blue-Eyes Alternate Dragon who is treated as Blue-Eyes White Dragon while on the field to bring out… Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" Ichigo shouted.
"No!" Yugi said as the new dragon appeared and stared down at Yugi.
"Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon attack Yugi's Arcana Knight Joker!" Ichigo said. All three heads of Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon opened their mouth and blasted Arcana Knight Joker with a blast of white light.
{Ichigo 0200/ Yugi 2100}
"When my Arcana Knight Joker was destroyed, I activate my trap, Soul Rope (1)," Yugi said. "When a monster I control is destroyed, I can pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your hand or Deck," Yugi said. "Come forth Obnoxious Celtic Guardian," Yugi said as his new monster stood in defense mode.
{Ichigo 0200/ Yugi 1100}
"Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, attack Yugi's Obnoxious Celtic Guardian," Ichigo ordered. Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon fired a fireball at Yugi's Obnoxious Celtic Guardian. It was a direct hit. When the dust cleared, Yugi's Obnoxious Celtic Guardian still stood there. "What," Ichigo said.
"My Obnoxious Celtic Guardian cannot be destroyed by battle with a monster that has 1900 or more ATK," Yugi explained.
"I see," Ichigo said. "I end my turn," Ichigo said with four cards in his hand.
"Draw," Yugi said. "I activate Fusion Recovery," Yugi said. "This card allows me to add a Polymerization and 1 Fusion Material that was used for a Fusion Summon from my Graveyard and add them to my hand," Yugi said as he showed Ichigo Polymerization and his Queen's Knight. "I then activate Emblem of Dragon Destroyer," Yugi said. "This card allows me to add a Buster Blader from my Deck or Graveyard to your hand," Yugi said as he adds Buster Blader to his hand. "Next card I activate is my Polymerization!" Yugi said. "I fuse my Buster Blader and my Dark Magician in my hand to Fusion Summon… DARK PALADIN!" Yugi yelled as dust blew up obscuring Ichigo's view of Yugi. Suddenly something parted the dust cloud as Dark Paladin stood there. "I activate Dark Paladin's effect," Yugi said. "He gains 500 times the number of Dragons on your side of the field and graveyard," Yugi said as Dark Paladin's attack points grew from 2900 to 7900 attack points. "Now then, Dark Paladin attack Ichigo's Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" Yugi said as Dark Paladin charged towards Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. While Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon charged up its attack and fired it back at Dark Paladin. Upon contact, both attacks kicked up dust; obscuring the view. "I've won!" Yugi said
"Yugi. Don't think so yet." Ichigo said. Yugi looked up to see Dark Paladin is blocking the attack of Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
"What!?" Yugi said.
"I activate the effect of Honest," Ichigo said as he reveals a white angel looking monster card from his hand. "During either player's Damage Step, when a LIGHT monster I control battles: I can send this card from my hand to the Graveyard; that monster gains ATK equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling, until the end of this turn," Ichigo said.
"What!" Yugi said. As he now noticed that Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon attack points weren't 4500 but it was 12400."
"Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon finish this duel with White Obliteration Burst!" Ichigo shouted as Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon increase the strength of its attack and managed to destroy Dark Paladin.
{Ichigo 0200/ Yugi 0000}
"And that is it. Our Champion of the Battle City is Kurosaki Ichigo!" Roland announced. Ichigo put his deck away and approach Yugi.
"Good game Yugi," Ichigo said as he raised his hand. Yugi looked at the hand and accepted the handshake. After that, Roland escorted Yugi, Ichigo, Eu, and Marik down the Battle Tower.
"Wait. How is third and fourth decided?" Yugi asked Roland.
"Normally, Marik and Eu would have to duel but due to Marik surrendering, he automatically gets the fourth place," Roland said.
"I see." Yugi said. "Marik."
"Yes?" Marik asked.
"What happened to the souls of the duelist who lost to Yami Marik?" Yugi asked wondering about his friend.
"I made sure they were all released when I regain full control of my body," Marik said. Everyone arrived at the KaibaCorp Blimp to see everyone who dueled Yami Marik was awake and moving around. Everyone boarded the KaibaCorp Blimp and it flew from Battle Tower. During that time, everyone rested and a few duelists did a short prayer. "Hope those Fangirls aren't there waiting for us." Ichigo, Yugi, and Kaiba thought. Somehow the KaibaCorp Blimp managed to reach the unfinished Domino Station by nightfall. During this flight, Ichigo brought out the Millennium Scale, Millennium Necklace, and Millennium Key and gave them to Yugi. Luckily, none of the Fangirls were waiting for them. Seto was kind enough to arrange for taxis and a limo to be waiting for everyone. Everyone said their goodbyes and left the stadium.
