Chapter 11
Astral appeared in the ship where the Numbers were holding Lion Heart and Djinn Buster as they glowed. "What do you want from me? Are you trying to tell me something"? He questioned.
"These Numbers we retrieved are trying to tell me something".
Then they glowed bright Astral gasped as he saw the murals of the legends and shocked to see Alit and Vector as the gladiator and prince and Durbe as the knight as he gasped in shocked. "Those legends I saw just now... Could it be"? He questioned.
"Brother"!
Astrana appeared to Astral he turned to her to see her holding Sky Pegasus. "You got the Number from Manami"? He asked.
"Yes it took a while to persuade her but Sirius managed to get her to give them to me but more importantly. Did you saw the visions"? She questioned.
"I did it must mean that the Barian Emperors were once human and were the figures of these legends", he said.
"But I dont understand they had righteous souls. Why were they reborn as Barians"? She questioned.
"It could be possible it might have something to do with Don Thousand but I am not sure myself though", he said.
"I see", she frowned.
Astral then noticed the worried and distracted look on his sister's face making him worry. "Astrana what's wrong"? He asked.
"Im worried about Darka", Astrana said, not bothering to hide anything from her brother.
"Darka? Is something wrong with her"? He asked.
"I dont know ever since the first ruins she hasnt been herself not only her but Hotaru and Manami as well those three"...
"Astrana"? Astral questioned.
Astrana looked at her brother. "Ever since I first met these girls they give off some sort of power and this was before I knew of their heritage I hate to say it but after seeing how Hotaru and Manami were in the ruins it appears there is more to them then we think", she frowned.
Then Sky Pegasus and Djinn Buster glowed brightly again making them gasped first seeing an image of Durbe as the knight again but this time with a women wearing a beautiful dress and crown who showed to be Manami smiling at Durbe as they talked and then showing another image of Vector standing with a smile while a figure kneel in front of him to show Hotaru but her appearance slightly changed with tanned skin, green eyes, and flaming hair with also her gold wings they then gasped as the glow stopped. "Was that"? Astrana began.
"Hotaru and Manami", Astral said shocked.
In the ship Yuma on the wheel as the others minus Darka were sitting Darka no where around Yuma in thought. "Alit you... What in the world happened to you? What power couldve made you turn out like that"? He thought worried.
Kotori held the flower Alit had given her frowning. "Alit", she thought.
"Wonder why Darka wanted to go outside", Shane remarked.
"Must be about Alit she isnt the only one", Koru said, motioning to Yuma who was also in thought.
"Hey".
Yuma gasped and turned to face Shark. "What are you spacing about"? Shark questioned.
"Uh Im not", Yuma began.
"Tch you're probably still stressing yourself about that Barian Alit", Shark frowned.
"Y-yeah he changed so suddenly and with what Darka said", Yuma frowned.
Flashback...
"When I was healing Droite I had felt a horrible power that was coming from Alit that wasnt his own", Darka frowned.
"Horrible power"? Kaito questioned.
"What kind of power"? Yuma questioned worried.
"I dont know I never sensed anything like it, it was as if from an entirely different being all together after seeing Alit Im starting to realize that its that power that made Alit how he was", Darka said.
End of flashback...
"It doesnt matter if he is being controlled or not the Barians are still our enemies in this battle Yuma you have to accept that", Shark said.
"Oi Shark dont you go there", Hotaru said, in a warning tone.
"She's right Shark Im starting to think the Barian Emperors, minus Vector, arent all that bad sure Misael being a pain but still", Manami frowned.
"Yeah there might be more to those Emperors that meets the eye", Shane said.
"We will soon be arriving in Point 107 we will find the fourth set of ruins there", Orbital said.
"Wow! I wonder what kind of ruins we'll find next"? Yuma said.
"I wonder if there's a legend at the ruins we'll go to next"? Rio said.
"You could be right it may be another sad tale", Kotori frowned.
Hotaru and Manami flinched at the mention of the legends. "The legends of the ruins", Yuma said.
Kaito walked outside of the ship to see Darka standing at the bowsprit of the ship her six white wings out ruffled as her hair released from any braid or band blew out by the wind. "Darka", he called.
She jumped and turned and he was surprised to see her holding her seven synchro dragons Stardust Dragon, Red Daemon's Dragon, Black - Feather Dragon, Ancient Fairy Dragon, Black Rose Dragon, Life Stream Dragon, and Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier all of them glowing blue, red, orange, green, purple, and indigo respectively. "Oh Kaito its just you", she said.
Then she noticed him holding a glowing blue card. "You too huh"? She asked.
"Yeah Galaxy Eyes seems to be resonating", he said.
"Same with my dragons Im cant help but wonder", she remarked.
At Barian World...
Rain poured down in Barian World, Durbe stood in the throne room. "The legend I suddenly felt while retrieving the Number hidden away in those ruins... Why did I know that legend"? He thought.
"Durbe".
Durbe turned to see Misael walking to him. "It seems you located another set of ruins with a Number", Misael remarked.
"Yeah. Unfortunately though, Astral and the others took the Number", Durbe said.
"That doesnt sound like you. Whats wrong? What happened"? Misael questioned.
"At the ruins with the Number, I somehow found myself assaulted by a mysterious sensation", Durbe said.
"What"? Misael questioned.
"There was a legend left behind in those ruins the moment I made contact something in my heart resonated with it, it was as if something called out the memories inside me", Durbe said.
"What do you mean"? Misael asked.
"I do not know but there are seven ruins with Numbers and we are the Seven Barian Emperors. Do you believe that to be mere coincidence"? Durbe asked.
"What are you trying to say? Are you suggesting we have some relation to some foolish human legends"? Misael questioned.
"What nonsense! We need to focus on finding those Numbers in the ruins now! We cant let them out do us any longer"!
"True but there was also something that bothered me for I wasnt the only one that reacted to the legend Manami as well", Durbe said.
"Manami? You mean Manami Shinori the half Barian"? Misael questioned.
"Yes it seems that she reacted harshly to the legends as well so a warning do not be surprised if it happens again with one of the Shinori sisters", Durbe said.
Misael only scoffed before disappearing. "Misael", Durbe said.
With the others...
The ship sped through mountain pillars Yuma cried out as he quickly turned to the wheel. "Im never going on a ship again"! Hotaru yelled, as the siren blared.
The ship quickly moved past more pillars left and right. "Control unmanageable! Control unmanageable"! Orbital yelled.
"Yuma control your steering"! Shark yelled.
"I am"! Yuma yelled back.
"Then try harder"! Koru yelled.
"Wah! Why? Why?! Our equipment is being affected by something"! Orbital yelled.
"Orbital! It doesnt matter where! Just land this ship somewhere"! Kaito yelled.
"A-affirmative"! Orbital said.
"Uh I hate to be the one to remember. But isnt Darka still outside the ship"? Antares suddenly asked.
Everyone paled. "Oh shit"! Hotaru yelled.
Outside the ship Darka tightly held on the bowsprit her eyes lavender with the spirit of Stardust Dragon at her side. "That way Stardust"? She questioned.
"/Yes that is where it is Mistress/", Stardust said.
"Alright got it", she nodded, her hands glowing white.
"I'll have to apologize to Astral later".
Then the ship quickly moved making a sharp turn before crashing Darka sighed in relief. "We made it", she thought, jumping off and flying down off the ship.
"Darka"!
Darka turned to see the others running to her. "Are you ok"?! Sirius questioned.
"Yeah Im fine now lets go the ruins have to be here", Darka said.
"She is right there is no mistake the coordination points on the map inside the airship state the ruins are here", Orbital said.
"And I take it you knew this Darka so you made a quick landing here", Astrana said, appearing along with Astral.
"Wait you landed the ship Darka"?! Lizzie said shocked.
"Yeah sorry about controlling the ship Astral", Darka apologized.
"It is alright Darka it was necessary", Astral said, as they all began walking to the mountain.
"So the next ruins with the Number are on top of that rocky mountain"? Yuma questioned, looking up.
"No doubt about it", Darka said, feeling a slight pressure.
"I guess we have no choice but to move on our own from here on", Shark said.
"Eh"?! Kotori said shocked.
"That seems to be the case", Kaito said.
"Forgive me Kaito-sama my body isnt listening to what i tell it"! Orbital said.
"Looks like someone needs a tune up", Shane remarked.
"I cant climb up that though! Am I going to be left out"?! Kotori gasped.
"I guess so they cant expect us girls to climb it", Rio remarked.
"Eh"? Kotori said surprised.
"Very well Kotori-san lets stay here together", Rio smiled.
"Same here", Harumi smiled.
"Yeah I cant climb", Lizzie said.
"I'll stay with you girls in case besides maybe I can fix up Orbital here", Koru said.
"Thank goodness I feel relieved"! Kotori said happily.
"Then the rest of us have climbing to do", Shane said.
"More like flying for me and Hotaru", Darka smiled, her wings moving.
"Who wouldve thought these darn things would be useful", Hotaru spat, taking off her jacket and let her arm wings out.
"Think you can handle a climb Manami"? Shark asked.
"I'll be fine Shark", Manami assured.
"Lyra get on my back I'll give you a lift", Hotaru said, crouching down her back to Lyra.
"Eh?! N-no I couldnt Hotaru", Lyra began.
"Its fine just get on and hold on tight", Hotaru said.
Lyra blushed yet climbed on Hotaru's back as Hotaru stood Yuma beginning up. "Up we go! Then Im off"! Yuma said.
"Be careful Yuma"! Kotori called, as the others walked Darka and Hotaru flying up.
"I'll take care of it Kotori! Im the son of an adventurer"! Yuma assured.
"There you go saying that again you're so full of yourself", Kotori pouted, some chuckling.
"Listen you... Dont go sounding like sis", Yuma frowned.
"Good luck Yuma"! Lizzie called.
"Thanks Lizzie"! Yuma grinned.
"Lets get a move on"! Darka said, flying ahead.
"Oi wait up Dark"! Hotaru said, catching up.
"We better keep up", Antares said, beginning to climb.
They then began climbing up Darka and Hotaru flying slightly ahead of them. "Listen good! When mountain climbing, you have to first get a good foot holding then reach out with your arms got it"?! Yuma said.
"Thanks for the advice Yuma", Manami chuckled.
"No problem and its important that we help each other up the mountain too going on your own is a no-no", Yuma said.
"Oh shut up! I have no reason taking orders from you"! Shark growled.
"Yet he has more experience then any of us on climbing so you should probably listen", Antares grinned.
Sirius panted as he climbed up Darka flew to him. "You ok Sirius"? She asked worried.
"Dont worry about me Darka-chan I'll be fine", he assured.
"Just tell me if you need a break I'll help you out", she said.
"Same here", Hotaru smiled.
Kaito climbed up strained then they all gasped.
*ROOOAR*
"Did you hear that"?! Hotaru gasped.
"Astral what was that just now"?! Yuma asked shocked.
"Most likely the cry of a dragon", Astral said.
"Not most likely its exactly", Astrana frowned.
Then Kaito and Darka gasped to see bright glows coming from the deck. "My dragons"! Darka thought shocked.
"Galaxy Eyes! Then me and Darka were right those ruins", Kaito thought.
Then suddenly the mountain began shaking large rocks heading straight for Kaito he gasped as he lost his grip but a hand grabbed him. "Kaito! You ok"?! Darka gasped.
"Thats why I said we gotta help each other up the mountain", Yuma grinned.
Kaito scoffed at Yuma as Darka helped Kaito on the mountain with a firm grip. "You'll be ok"? She asked worried.
"Yeah dont worry Darka", he assured with a smile.
"Go on ahead up check it out".
"If youre sure", Darka said.
Darka then flew up in speed shocking everyone. "Wow she's fast", Antares gaped.
Darka landed on top of the mountain and gasped in shock feeling a heavy pressure in her chest as the others caught up. "Th-this is the summit"?! Yuma gaped.
"I cant see anything through the fog".
Darka stepped forward as they walked. "Yuma you're wrong", she said.
"She's right look carefully in front of you", Kaito said.
"Huh"? Yuma said confused.
The mist then cleared to show a large gate. "Something like this was at the top"?! Yuma gaped.
The doors then opened to show a large temple they all gasped as they walked. "Holy wow this place is a ruins"?! Manami gasped.
"A-Awesome"! Yuma gasped.
"Whats going on with this place"?!
"Its beautiful", Darka whispered awed.
"Now is not the time to admire it Darka", Sirius said.
"Yeah it might be another trap set by those Barians", Shark said.
Darka then noticed a crimson glimmer she grew wide eyed and ran to it. "Darka-chan"?! Lyra gasped.
Once Darka reached it she gasped. "Hotaru! Manami! Check it out"! She called.
The two jumped yet rushed over with the others following and they were shocked to see a small little shrine that had a crimson statue of a dragon with incense burning the mark of the Crimson Dragon embedded on it. "A Crimson Dragon Shrine"? Hotaru said shocked.
"No way! All the way here"?! Manami gasped.
"Crimson Dragon Shrine"? Yuma said confused.
"A shrine in honor of the celestial god the Crimson Dragon you can tell by the mark of the Crimson Dragon on the shrine", Shane said, pointing to the mark.
"You know of the Crimson Dragon"? Manami asked surprised.
"Quite actually", Shane nodded.
Darka was frowning as she kneeled in front of the shrine. "Is something wrong Darka"? Astrana asked.
"Something worries me the statue is chipped yet it looks to have been polished plus with the incense freshly burning it means someone has been taking care of it", Darka said.
"So wait then that would mean someone is actually living here", Antares said.
"Oh come on then that would mean Yuma would be smelling someone's food", Hotaru said sarcastically.
"Uh Hotaru", Sirius said, pointing.
They all looked to see Yuma stepping forward sniffing. "That smell", Yuma said.
"Smell"? Lyra asked.
Darka sniffed and grew wide eyed standing. "I know that smell", she said surprising herself.
"H-hey Yuma"! Shark said.
"Darka"? Kaito called.
"Im definitely smelling something", Yuma said.
"No doubt about it", Darka said, both stepping forward.
"Is it a Barian"? Shane asked.
"Forget Barian", Darka purred as she stepped.
"I smell something delicious"! Yuma said happily.
They gaped and sighed. "Honestly I expected this from Yuma but really Darka"?! Hotaru yelled.
Darka cooed as she stepped up with Yuma. "This smell its so familiar to me so heavenly and rich", she thought, stopping as she sniffed.
Yuma stepped to a large bowl on a stand to see food cooking. "That looks yummy"! He drooled.
Then suddenly a stick was thrown toward Yuma making him gasp but Darka caught it easily with a smile. "You ok Yuma"? She asked.
"Uh yeah", he gaped.
"Where did that come from"?! Manami gasped.
"You... Dammed fool"!
They looked to see an old man as Yuma angrily looked at him. "Hey whats the big idea"?! Yuma yelled.
"That would be my line"! The old man yelled.
"Stealing someone's meal without permission"!
The old man jumped in front of Yuma and Darka as Yuma spoke. "I was only going to peak", Yuma began.
But then Darka wack him with the wooden stave. "Ouch! What was that for Darka"?! Yuma gaped.
"Oh hush Yuma", Darka scowled, before facing the old man.
"Im sorry sir we shouldve known that meal belonged to someone here your stave".
The old man looked at Darka wide eyed as he took his stave. "Well at least someone here has manners. Care to try"? He asked her.
"Oh if thats alright", she said surprised.
"Eh?! Thats not fair Darka"! Yuma yelled.
"Quite boy saying my meal looked yummy honestly trying to steal it", the old man scowled.
"I said I wasnt"! Yuma yelled, as Darka and the old man walked to the bowl.
The old man got out a ladle and small bowl he scooped some in the bowl before handing it to Darka. "Here you are", he said.
"Thank you", she said.
She sipped and ate and hummed as she finished. "Wow! This is amazing! I haven tasted anything so delicious"! She said happily.
"Glad to see some people having fine tastes in good food", the old man smiled.
"Man I know my mother would love to get the recipe", Darka said happily.
"Well I could give it to you to give to your mother", the old man said.
"Oh that would be wonderful", Darka said.
"When did this turn to a cooking session"?! Hotaru gaped.
"I dont know anymore", Manami sighed, as Kaito and the others stepped up.
The old man noticed Kaito. "Hmm"? He said.
"And who might you all be"?
"My name is Kaito we're looking for the ruins containing the Number", Kaito said.
"Hmm? Number"? The old man questioned, his eyes flashed.
Then a blue aura surrounded Kaito as the image of Galaxy Eyes appeared above him. "Are you a dragon user"? He asked Kaito.
"Yeah and I also feel an unusual spirit coming from you", Kaito said.
A yellow aura appeared around the old man a dragon appearing above him as it roared a familiar roar. "That roar"! Lyra gasped.
"The same roar we heard when we were climbing up the mountain", Sirius said.
"My name is Jinlong I am the guardian of this Number", the old man Jinlong said.
"You have a pretty decent fighting spirit going for you and it seems you are not the only one".
Jinlong turned to Darka with a smile. "Am I right"? He asked.
Darka chuckled as a silver aura surrounded her and her seven dragons appeared above her roaring Jinlong chuckled as the dragons all disappeared and Jinlong faced Kaito. "I know duelists just like you both"! Jinlong said.
"What"? Kaito questioned.
"Huh"? Darka said surprised.
"The legend left behind these ruins says there was a duelist who fought against dragons long ago", Jinlong said.
"That duelist was named Misael right"? Astral asked.
"What"?! Shark and Hotaru said shocked.
"Misael"? Darka gasped.
"Oh? So you know the legend surrounding these ruins"? Jinlong asked.
"J-just wait a minute! Why Misael? He's a Barian", Yuma began.
"Astral, Astrana please tell me you guys arent saying", Hotaru began.
"We are Hotaru", Astrana nodded.
"The Numbers we retrieved from the ruins shared those memories with me and Astrana", Astral said.
"The seven Numbers we have been searching for, the legends surrounding these ruins are tales from when the Seven Barian Emperors were still human".
"What"?! They gasped.
"Impossible! Those Barians used to be human"?! Shark gaped.
"Thats correct", Astrana said.
"Its reincarnation?! But who did it though"?! Hotaru questioned shock.
"Then the legends of the ruins we've been so far", Yuma began shocked.
"The Knight's legend was Durbe's", Manami paled.
"The Prince's legend was Vector's", Hotaru choked.
"The Gladiator's legend was Alit's", Darka whispered.
"They were all legends from when they were human"? Yuma said shocked.
"And there is more we also saw Hotaru and Manami in these memories", Astrana said.
"What"? Hotaru and Manami gasped.
"Yes, we saw Manami who looked to be of royalty with Durbe and Hotaru who looked to be a warrior of sorts kneel in front of Vector", Astral said.
The two paled at this Hotaru's eyes wide in horror as she looked at her wings then Shane looked surprised for a moment. "Wait a duelist who fought dragons and with a Crimson Dragon Shrine here. Jinlong do you mean to say that the other duelist you mentioned was the Crimson Dragon Priestess"? Shane questioned.
Darka, Hotaru, and Manami gasped as Jinlong chuckled. "Indeed you are right", he said.
"No way that legend"?! Hotaru gasped.
"Legend? Wait theres another one here"?! Shark questioned.
"Guys".
They all turned to face Kaito. "Let me handle this duel", Kaito said.
"K-Kaito", Yuma said shocked.
"It isnt a mere coincidence that I found my way here it was destiny... No my fate as a Dragon User", Kaito said.
"If thats the case then Im joining this duel too", Darka said.
"Darka"! Yuma gaped.
"Darka I can handle it", Kaito began.
"No way Kaito if its your fate to be here then it might as well be mine as well as a holder of the Signer dragons to the Crimson Dragon it only makes sense I join as well", Darka frowned.
Kaito looked at her then sighed. "Alright I understand Darka we'll work together", he said.
"Yeah", she nodded with a smile.
"Very well if you two manage to defeat me I will hand over the Number from the ruins to you but if you two lose I will take your dragons", Jinlong said.
"Fine by us", Darka said.
"Because we dont plan on losing", Kaito said.
"How long will that cheeky attitude work for you two"!? Jinlong yelled, throwing his stave.
"Lets go Kaito", Darka said.
"Duel disk set! D-Gazer on"!
"Right Darka, duel mode! Photon Change"! Kaito yelled.
Darka's wings disappeared as she set her duel disk and D-Gazer, Kaito had his Duel disk ready as Photon change was complete the two side by side smiling as Jinlong's stave landed on his arm turning into a duel disk as the others got on their D-Gazers.
"Duel"!
"In this duel I will have 8000 LPs while you two share 4000 LPs", Jinlong said.
"Sounds fine", Darka said, Kaito nodding in agreement.
Jinlong looked at Darka. "Tell me they all call you 'Darka'. Is that short for something"? He asked.
Darka grew wide eyed yet nodded. "Yes it is actually my full name is Darkalicia", she said.
Jinlong grew wide eyed but then smiled. "I see", he said.
"Now let me ask you something", Kaito said.
"Was it you who fought against Misael from the legend of these ruins? And did you defeat Misael"?
"I wonder about that", Jinlong said.
"Its my turn I draw! I summon Mythical Wood Dragon"!
Mythical Wood Dragon
Level: 4
Atk Points: 100
Def Points: 1400
"When I control an Earth Attribute monster on the field I can special summon this guy from my hand", Jinlong smirked.
"Show yourself, Mythical Water Dragon"!
Mythical Water Dragon
Level: 8
Atk Points: 1000
Def Points: 2000
"I then activate the effect of Mythical Wood Dragon! When I have a water attribute monster on the field its level is doubled"! Jinlong said.
Mythical Wood Dragon
Level: 4 - 8
"Two level eight monsters", Shane said.
"All in the blink of the idea", Yuma gaped.
"Here it comes"! Shark said.
"Now behold! I overlay Mythical Wood Dragon and Mythical Water Dragon"! Jinlong said, as the two dragons became orange and blue lights went to the overlay portal.
"I use these two monsters to build the Overlay Network! Xyz summon! Show yourself Number 46! Your roar becomes thunder! You glisten like lightning! Manifest before us, my golden dragon! Ethereal Dragon - Dragluon"!
They gasped as the dragon Number then appeared on the field with a loud roar the sky suddenly darkened.
Numbers 46: Ethereal Dragon Dragluon
Rank: 8
Atk Points: 3000
Def Points: 3000
"S-so thats the Number of these ruins"?! Yuma said.
"Number 46 Dragluon", Shark said.
"D-Dragluon", Darka said softly.
Then she felt a sharp pain in her head making her wince clutching her head then felt a sharp pain to her chest. "What? Why does my head and chest hurt so much when I see that Number"? She thought wincing.
"Darka are you ok"? Kaito asked worried.
"Y-yeah I am", Darka winced.
"So then thats your dragon Jinlong".
"Thats right Darkalicia it is the strongest dragon you of all people should know", Jinlong said.
"What"? Darka said confused.
"Interesting then show me that power"! Kaito said.
"Very well! I activate the effect of Dragluon"! Jinlong said.
"When I dont have a dragon type monster on my field other then this monster I can detach one overlay unit to special summon one dragon from my hand"!
Dragluon bit down one of its overlay units as its forehead gem glowed with a roar as Jinlong held up a card. "Come! Armed Divine Dragon - Protect Dragon"! Jinlong yelled.
The dragon then appeared on the field in front of Dragluon with a roar.
Armed Divine Dragon - Protect Dragon
Level: 8
Atk Points: 2000
Def Points:
Then suddenly Dragluon disappeared shocking them. "What?! The Number"! Kaito gasped.
"It disappeared"! Darka gasped.
Jinlong laughed. "Time for Dragluon's effect! As long as I control another dragon type monster on my field, it cannot be targeted by attacks or effects", he said.
"In other words you two wont be able to lay a finger on my Number"!
"So in other words the dragon becomes a shield for Dragluon that way it cant be destroyed", Hotaru said.
"Meaning they'll have to take care of Protect Dragon first if they want to reach Dragluon", Sirius said.
"Now I equip the Equip magic card, Dragon Sheild, with Protect Dragon"! Jinlong said.
"The dragon equipped with this card cannot be destroyed through battle or card effect and casting off all battle damage".
They gasped as armor appeared on Divine Dragon. "And when Divine Dragon is equipped with an Equip magic card it raises it's attack points by 500", Jinlong said.
Armed Divine Dragon - Protect Dragon
Atk Points: 2000 - 2500
"Unless they destroy the equip magic card Kaito and Darka can", Yuma began.
"But that wont happen", Jinlong interrupted.
"I activate Protect Dragon's other effect! When this card is face up on the field Equip magic cards cannot be destroyed by monster, magic, or trap effects"!
"What did he say"?! Yuma gaped.
"With Dragon Sheild, Protect Dragon is a card that protects other effects", Astral said.
"Now he cant be destroyed either and its become and impregnable shield", Astrana said.
"I end my turn with that", Jinlong finished.
"Darka you may go next".
Darka nodded. "Fine my turn draw"! She said.
"I summon Shadowheart Marionette in attack mode"!
And appearing on the field was a black haired women wearing a black jumpsuit with stripped wristbands, long fingered black gloves, a white mask on her hip her soulless black eyes looking at Jinlong.
Shadowheart Marionette
Level: 4
Atk Points: 1500

"Her effect activates when she is summoned I can special summon a level four or lower Shadowheart monster from my deck", Darka said.
Marionette shot out strings in Darka's deck and pulling out a card for Darka to catch. "I special summon the tuner monster Shadowheart Lily in attack mode"! Darka said.
And the little girl tuner appeared on the field smiling.
Shadowheart Lily
Level: 4
Atk Points: 1300

"I tune level four Lily with level four Marionette"!
Lily smiled and jumped becoming four green rings as Marionette went through them becoming four lights. "The wishes come together to form a new shining star! Become the path that lights the way! Synchro summon, soar Stardust Dragon"!
And with a screech Stardust Dragon appeared on the field with a roar.
Stardust Dragon

Atk Points: 2500
Def Points: 2000
"Stardust Dragon"! Hotaru and Manami cheered.
"Awesome as ever"! Yuma grinned.
"I place three cards facedown and end my turn", Darka finished.
Stardust Dragon moved his head to then see Jinlong. "/Jinlong? Is that you/"? Stardust questioned shocked.
"Stardust it has been a while", Jinlong smiled.
"Huh Stardust you know Jinlong"? Darka questioned shocked.
Stardust Dragon turned away unsure what to say Jinlong sighed. "It is your turn Kaito", Jinlong said.
"My turn draw"! Kaito said, drawing his card to see Galaxy Eyes.
"I summon Overlay Sniper"!
The warrior monster appeared on the field holding its sniper.
Overlay Sniper

Atk Points: 2000
Def Points:
"Then I special summon Overlay Booster! When I have a monster with 2000 Atk points or more this card can be special summoned", Kaito said.
Overlay Booster
Level: 5
Atk Points: 2000
Def Points:
"I release both Overlay Sniper and Booster, both with 2000 Atk points"! Kaito yelled.
Both monsters disappeared and Kaito grabbed the tail piece throwing it in the air. "The Galaxy that shines within the darkness! Become the Light of Hope and obey me as my servant! The Incarnation of Light descends! Appear Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon"!
And the Galaxy dragon monster appeared on the field with a loud roar.
Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon
Level: 8
Atk Points: 3000
Def Points: 2500
"Galaxy Eyes"! Darka said happily.
"Kaito you have a plan to deal with that monster dont you".
"Yeah I do leave this to me Darka", Kaito said.
"Of course", Darka smiled with a wink.
"As expected of Kaito", Astrana smiled.
"Indeed now he can break through his impregnable defense", Astral said.
"What do you mean"? Lyra asked.
"Of course Galaxy Eyes's effect", Hotaru grinned.
"When Galaxy Eyes battles, its effect banishes itself and the attacking monster", Sirius said.
"Once Protect Dragon is banished the Equip magic card is sent to the graveyard", Antares grinned.
"And breaking down that defense and Protect Dragon can be destroyed", Shane smirked.
"So that is your dragon", Jinlong remarked.
"Yeah! I plan to show you the power of my dragon this time"! Kaito said.
"I wonder about that", Jinlong suddenly said.
"What"?! Kaito said shocked.
"At this moment I activate Dragulon's other effect"! Jinlong said, as the dragon suddenly appeared
"It negates the effects of a dragon type monster on my opponent's field"!
Dragluon roared launching a beam at Galaxy Eyes a light appearing under her making her roar in pain as she lost her blue glow and wings. "Galaxy Eyes"! Kaito gasped.
"What now"?! Jinlong said, as Dragluon disappeared again.
"This is no different than your dragon losing its fangs! So how do you plan to overcome this?! This impregnable defense"!
"Kaito", Yuma said.
"You may have wanted me to suffer and lose all hope before your iron will and impregnable wall but I will break through that iron defense"! Kaito yelled.
"I activate the quick play magic card, Book of Moon"!
The card appeared on the field shooting a blue beam at Protect Dragon. "This card targets one face up monster on the field and switches it to face down defense position"! Kaito yelled, as Protect Dragon's position switched.
"So theres that method too", Astral said.
"Heh it'll take more then that to take Kaito down Jinlong", Darka chuckled.
"Equip spells cant be equipped to face down monsters! That means that Dragon Shield is destroyed now that it lost its target"! Kaito said.
Then Dragluon appeared back to the field. "Now we can see your Number again just you wait I'll break through your iron wall with everything I got! Then beat your Number"! Kaito said.
"Go Galaxy Eyes! Attack the Protect Dragon thats been switched facedown! Photon Stream of Destruction"!
Galaxy Eyes roared as she launched her stream attack destroying Protect Dragon. "Woah he did it a head start punch"! Yuma grinned.
"Just what is this duel", Astral said.
"There is no wall I cant break", Kaito said.
"Great work Kaito", Darka smiled.
Kaito smiled back then they heard Jinlong. "Now thats amusing"! He said.
There is not a single opponent that cant be destroyed that was splendid! I give you a passing score".
"I dont like that I dont need test scares from someone like you"! Kaito frowned.
"Oi easy Kaito", Darka sweatdrop.
"Its meant as a compliment"! Jinlong said then sighed.
"I swear, there are so many Dragon User bigots in the world"!
But then Jinlong chuckled. "Misael was the same! You remind me of him in so many ways the way he dueled", he said, then smiled at Darka.
"It is no wonder you fell for him right Darkalicia"?
"Huh? What are you talking about"? Darka asked surprised, before an angry mark appeared on her head.
"And stop calling me Darkalicia! Its Darka"!
"Huh you never complained of Misael calling you Darkalicia years ago", Jinlong said.
"Misael? Years ago"? Darka questioned.
"That is right it truly seems you dont remember anything", Jinlong sighed.
"What are you talking about"? Darka questioned.
Shane gasped. "So I was right then this has something to do with the legend of the Crimson Dragon Priestess then", he said.
"Wait you said something like that before", Yuma said.
"Hold it dragon user, a Crimson Dragon shrine, and the priestess. You dont mean that legend do you"?! Hotaru gaped.
"Ah so I see you know of the legend", Jinlong remarked.
"Me and my sisters are followers of the Crimson Dragon and of course I would at least know that legend I know by heart since Darka always loved hearing that legend as a bedtime story when she was a kid", Hotaru frowned.
"That legend"?! Darka gasped.
"Darka what are they talking about"? Kaito questioned.
"Its... Its the legend of the Crimson Dragon Priestess long ago she was known to be the first priestess to also be a Signer she had lost her Signers in the war with the Earthbound Immortals villagers would turn her away thinking it was her fault that the Signers had lost their lives injured and alone she had passed out from her injuries until the dragon of a dragon user found her and took her to his master the dragon user healed the priestess and took her in to his home the priestess being grateful to him soon enough they fell in love and were then engaged", Darka explained, then gasped.
"No way! This place then with the shrine this is where the Priestess and Dragon User lived"!
Then she felt the same sharp pain in her head worsen she shrieked clutching her head tightly as she fell to her knees. "AHH"! She cried out in pain.
"Darka"! They gasped.
She winced as images flashed in her mind herself wearing priestess garb holding a basket as she walked to someone with a fond smile as she gasped. "What was"?! She gasped before wincing again.
"It seems you're recalling your memories", Jinlong smiled.
"What"? Darka questioned.
"What do you mean"? Kaito questioned.
"Indeed Darkalicia is correct of the priestess's legend soon enough though the priestess had passed on someday to be reincarnated in another time and here she is right before us", Jinlong said, his hand out to Darka.
"Wait you're saying Darka is is the reincarnation of the Crimson Dragon Priestess"?! Manami gasped.
"Why do I feel a vague déjà vu"? Sirius asked.
"Not helping Sirius", Antares frowned.
"N-no there's no way I can be her reincarnation", Darka winced, standing.
"Then pray tell as to how do you have the seven Signer dragons then"? Jinlong questioned.
Darka gasped and turned away. "Now that I think about it she never has told us how she got them", Yuma said.
"Darka how did you got those dragons? Last I checked they were the partners for the members of Team 5Ds"! Hotaru said.
"... It was years ago when I got them a year after you left Hotaru", Darka frowned.
Flashback...
A thirteen year old Darka was getting ready for bed yawning as she walked to her family's small alter to the Crimson Dragon as she began to pray. "Oh mighty star deity Crimson Dragon may you watch over me and my family for protection", she whispered.
She then lit an incense and yawned again before going to her room to her bed and falling asleep.
Dream...
Darka gasped to be in a large white area looking around. "Where am I"? she said softly.
*ROOOAR*
Darka gasped and turned shocked to see the Crimson Dragon in front of her she was stunned to see her god in front of her. "Crimson Dragon"! She said quickly bowing.
The Crimson Dragon roared again and she looked up and was stunned to see the seven Signer Dragons in front of her along with the Crimson Dragon. "Stardust Dragon, Red Daemon's Dragon, Black - Feather Dragon, Black Rose Dragon, Ancient Fairy Dragon, Life Stream Dragon, and Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier... I dont understand why are you all here"? She asked.
All of the dragons roared out causing her to gasp as she was blinded by a bright light.
End of dream...
Darka gasped quickly waking up and looked to see it was already morning. "It was just a dream", she thought.
Then she looked to her bedside and gasped to see seven cards on her bedside dresser shaking she picked each one up stunned to hold the seven dragons in her hands.
End of flashback...
"At the time I didnt understand why the dragons came to me but as I continued my path with them I realized that the Crimson Dragon mustve saw this that I would be part of this war and allowed the dragons to fight along side me to help me protect my friends and family", Darka said.
"No way to have the Crimson Dragon appear", Hotaru gaped.
"It only shows that the Crimson Dragon is going great lengths to protect its Priestess by sending its dragons to protect you as they did before along with the Signers you cannot deny that fact Darkalicia", Jinlong said.
Darka gasped at this then shrieked of another pain to her head clutching her head tightly. "N-no way", she gasped.
Then Hotaru then gasped. "Hold on then if Jinlong claims that if Darka is the reincarnation of the Crimson Dragon Priestess and if Misael is technically the Dragon User in the legend of these ruins and of the Priestess as well", she began.
"Dont you dare say it Hotaru"! Manami gasped, realizing where Hotaru was going with.
"I... I was with Misael".
Darka had her eyes wide covering her mouth with her head slowly lowering her hand. "I... I was engaged to Misael", she said.
Everyone gasped and gaped as Manami faint Shark catching her yet still in shock.
Aurasoul in my barricade: And it is done and I am so dead!
Shark carrying a fainted Manami: I cant believe you actually did it.
Aurasoul: I know Kaito is gonna kill me!
Darka: Well everyone you heard it now so next time we continue on with the duel so until they read and review.
Kaito: AURASOUL! *Galaxy Eyes roaring in the distance*
Aurasoul: Oh I am so dead!
