Chapter 22: Bonds of a Brother and Sister PIII
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or Avatar the Last Air Bender, or Hades whom is Disney's version of him. I do own Kasumi along with most of her deck which is based off of Fire Emblem female characters and the four Titan Cards.
A/N: This scene pretty much will have Kasumi's POV and a bit of Sokka's.
Kasumi's POV
Things escalated really quickly. Sure Hades had kidnapped me but Naruto, Hanabi, and Kakashi-Papa all arrived to rescue me. Too bad my adopted older brother Naruto was tricked into thinking Hades was letting me go free...Typical Naruto, leave it to my older brother to fall for a trick like that...Only to be kicked in the face by Sasuke which took him by surprise.
"S-S-S-Sasuke?" Naruto asked in disbelief "But how? Kasumi killed you."
Sasuke just smirked at him "What a loser...Yeah Kasumi did kill me, but...Hades brought me back, and I don't intend to let you take your sister to her freedom. She belongs to me and Hades now."
I glared angrily at him struggling to break my binds. Hanabi saw me and mouthed out "We'll get you out of there Lady Kasumi, don't worry." she then turned to Sasuke "SHE belongs to no one but the one she truly loves Shikamaru Nara!"
I blushed thinking about my boyfriend wanting to see him.
Sasuke turned to Hanabi "Wrong, sense Hades captured her, she will serve him, it's only a matter of time before she becomes his."
Naruto saw the hour-glass containing my Chakra in it's sand "Not if I destroy what's going to change her evil!"
He focuses in his Chakra "And I'll be using this Shadow Clone Jutsu to do it!"
He makes five Shadow clones and together the six of them charge the Hour-Glass. Hades makes an attempt to stop him but Sasuke holds up his hand "Don't worry about him Lord Hades...I'll deal with him."
With that said Sasuke seemed to be a blur disappearing and then reappearing in front of the hour glass.
"Don't get in our way Sasuke!" Naruto roared at his former friend "Kasumi doesn't want this path!"
Sasuke holds his position calmly holding out his hand almost as if mimicking Rock Lee's stance "What a loser you truly are Naruto...However Hades is my new leader and I'll follow his orders. Your sister will be his. If you truly want to save her you have to get passed me."
All of the Naruto's stopped running pausing and this gave Sasuke enough time to attack them "Fire Style, Giant Fireball Jutsu!"
Sasuke completed his Jutsu and before the real Naruto could think of a response, he and his clones were struck by the huge fireball. Massive explosions were heard and seen as all of Naruto's Shadow Clones were easily destroyed by the fireball.
"Naruto..." Hanabi muttered.
She saw what I saw next, a pile of wood! Thank goodness Naruto managed to use Substitution Jutsu in the nick of time! Sasuke smirked as he easily caught Naruto's movement and blocked Naruto's hand from grabbing the hour-glass and once more punches Naruto in the face sending him sprawling onto Hanabi taking them both down. Kakashi-Papa stepped up to give the two time to recover and Sasuke stared back and the Jounin, knowing this would be a tough test. Oh and I knew Kakashi-Papa was serious now as he activated his Sharringan "Sasuke...Stand down."
"And let you take her?" Sasuke demanded to Kakashi-Papa "I think not!"
Sasuke seemed to disappear but Kakashi-Papa easily caught his movement and blocked Sasuke's own Kunai knife with his own. Kakashi-papa then spoke "We will save Lady Kasumi. You can't stop us Sasuke. Especially when a Jounin is here."
Kakashi-Papa gave Sasuke a kick but Sasuke blocked the kick with his arm, even so though, Sasuke was sent backwards towards Hades.
"I could take Naruto and Hanabi on Lord Hades" Sasuke told the God "But the Jounin might take sometime to handle."
Kakashi-Papa stared at the two as they clearly blocked my path "Sasuke...Hades...Stand down."
Kakashi-Papa began mixing in his Chakra to form his Lightning Blade. Naruto sees this "Wait, Kakashi-Sensei, if you use that you'll kill Sasuke again."
Hanabi muttered to my brother "Take your pick Naruto...Try to save Sasuke or saving Lady Kasumi...What's your pick?"
I saw my brother hesitate again. He took one look at the situation eying me first and then Sasuke. I pleaded with my eyes towards my brother to make the right call to save me. He looked at Sasuke again not sure what to do. Even when I killed Sasuke before to save the Leaf Village, Naruto still took it hard on himself that he was unable to stop Sasuke from defecting. Even when my brother tried not to show it, I knew it plagued my brother's nightmares when he slept and it was a touchy subject for him. Seeing this Sasuke smirked "Naruto...You still thinking that by sparring me and saving your sister, that in return I'll return to the leaf village? I think not."
Hades gathers in fire ready to help Sasuke if Kakashi-Papa attacked even sending it at Kakashi-Papa. Kakashi-Papa side-stepped the flames with ease then in a blink of an eye managed to throw a Kunai Knife at the hour-glass containing my chakra. It looked like it would hit but somehow...Sasuke saw the Kunai and did a funny thing. He managed to grab Pain whom shouted "HEY! What are you doing? Put me down!"
"Sure thing!" Sasuke said throwing Pain towards the Kunai Knife that Kakashi-Papa threw. Pain screamed as he was thrown towards the Kunai "I didn't mean throw me!"
Then it happened, Pain took Kakashi-Papa's Kunai knife in his butt and the small red fat Demon's eyes widened as he somehow managed to sail up into the air and missed the hour-glass slamming onto Panic "YOW!"
"You saved the hour-glass" Hades muttered toward Sasuke "With using one of my minions..."
Sasuke nodded "That hour-glass contains the way you can make Kasumi evil when all the sand runs out. I figured if that is destroyed then the way to make Kasumi evil will fail."
Naruto managed to figure things out and Fire Bend at the Hour-Glass "TOO SLOW! I'm saving her!"
Sasuke sees this but Hades intercepted Naruto's fire with a well thrown fireball of his own "Nice try Fox-boy but you won't be freeing your sister THAT easily."
Hades manages to whistle and Cerebreus arrived. Kakashi turned towards the three headed dog sweat dropping "Oh-boy..."
Naruto and Hanabi gulped as did I, there seemed to be no escape even if they did manage to destroy the hour-glass containing my Chakra in it's sand.
Hades smirked "Now it's an even fight Kakashi! You can't handle Cerebreus and help Fox-boy and Hanabi save their friend."
Kakashi calmly stood his ground drawing his Kunai "I'll have to distract this three headed dog. Hanabi, Naruto, do what you can to save Lady Kasumi."
"RIGHT!" both Hanabi and Naruto said now facing Sasuke and Hades.
Hades smirked "Well now...It's an even two-on-two...You know what, do you two like to settle things by a gamble?"
Naruto muttered the answer "I'm not a gambling type...If you want someone to make a bet with you it's Granny Tsunade."
Hanabi sweat dropped "A little too harsh Naruto-kun." She then turned to Hades and Sasuke "That depends on the gamble! What is it?"
Hades smirked "That you and Naruto are to Duel me and Sasuke in a Tag Duel. And it'll be treated like...A Shadow Game."
I gulped nervously as I knew what this was. Hanabi was nervous knowing what a Shadow Duel meant and was about to speak when Naruto being well himself didn't exactly know what a Shadow game was but at the first mention of a Duel spoke "You got it! You don't stand a chance against Hanabi and I as a Tag Team!"
Naruto then turned to Hanabi's fearful look "Hey! What's with the look? With you we'll win and we'll save Lady Kasumi!"
Hanabi bit her lip as she eyes Naruto "Naruto...Do you remember what a Shadow Game is? After all you had one."
"I have no clue exactly what a Shadow Game is!" Naruto said "But I do recall battling Anbus...And winning."
Hanabi then answered Naruto "Look, Naruto...Shadow Games are Duels...But they are...How do I put it the most simplest way...Oh yeah...Duels of death!"
Naruto pailed "Say what?"
Sasuke smirked "Hey loser! Didn't you pay attention to your classes with Kasumi when she was teaching you."
Hanabi answered for Naruto "She never taught us Shadow Games...She has mentioned them but never went into full detail about them! However, I do my studies...Naruto does not."
"HEY!" Naruto demanded.
Sasuke then spoke to Naruto "Hanabi, I'm sure you are aware that your partner is already a fool saying yes to the challenge. Anyway Naruto...In a Shadow Duel, the damage you take is for real. And as Hanabi said, if you two lose the Duel...You'll die."
Naruto paused letting this information sink in "SHADOW DUELS DO THAT?"
Hanabi nodded as I hung my head at my brother's stupidity, trust it to show up in this moment.
Hades smirked "So what's it going to be? You two? I'll throw in this condition, if by somehow you two win against me and Sasuke by the time the hourglass runs out, you will get your sister back, I'll release her and you two won't die. However you two lose, well you'll die and Lady Kasumi will be mine forever."
"WHAT ABOUT SASUKE?" Naruto demanded "You're a GOD so that means you can't die by Shadow Games! Sasuke can!"
Hades smirked "That'll be a secret."
Sasuke nods also smirking as I now knew Hades somehow had a power to cheat delivering his Shadow Games.
Naruto blinked not sure for once "Well, well, well..." he pauses eying my condition and the hourglass and I looked down depressed a bit, he could tell I wanted to be free and not serve Hades. He then bit his lip eying Hanabi "I understand that you are scared of losing your life in a Shadow Game Hanabi...If you want I'll take them on two against one!"
"And die yourself?" Hanabi demanded "You'd probably be okay against one of them, but it is two against one and that rarely ends in a victory against the single opponent."
She also looked at me deciding it "I came with you to save our Lady Kasumi. I'd be a fool to not put my life on the line to save her. Naruto...I'm with you."
Naruto turned towards Hades "If you want a Tag Shadow Duel, you got it! But I'll tell you this right now, Hanabi and I won't lose!"
Hades smiled evilly "Didn't take you two long to wager your lives then! Then let the Shadow Duel begin!"
Hades and Sasuke stood apart from one another but still at the same area facing Hanabi and Naruto. The four activate their Duel Disks and shout "Duel!"
Hades and Sasuke's LP: 8000
Hanabi's and Naruto's LP: 8000
I watch helplessly as the four combatants draw their first five cards ready for the Duel to commence.
"Sense this is my home" Hades spoke "I'll do the honors of going first, I draw!"
Hades drew a card and looked at his hand "Alright, for the first move I'll start things off nice and easy, I activate the Field Spell Card: Underworld!"
I watched as the Field changed into well Hades's Underworld.
"Aren't we already in the Underworld?" Naruto asked causing Hanabi to sigh at his stupidity once again.
Hades smirked "Oh, why yes you are Fox-boy. But Underworld has two effects happening, one of which is it turns all monsters on my side of the field into Fiend type Monsters."
He choose another card "Then I'll summon Zombie Werewolf to the field!"
Zombie Werewolf appears on the field ATK: 1200
It may had looked like a Zombie at first but it quickly then turned more into a Fiend thanks to Underworld's effect.
Naruto blinked seeing this "Twelve Hundred attack points? Hanabi and I can beat that!"
Hanabi turned to him "Too bad we can't attack until our 2nd partner draws."
Hades smiled "You do pay attention well in class Hanabi. With that I end my turn."
Naruto turned to her "May I go next?"
Hanabi studied the field "Be my guest."
Naruto nods "Alright then, It's my move I draw!"
Naruto drew his card "Ah...Didn't get it..."
I had a feeling I knew what he meant...He didn't get Pyramid of Light. I sweat dropped thinking Naruto, you really have to stop thinking about that Trap Card to use that for a win...
He then smiled seeing this "Well now, I'll be taking out that Zombie Werewolf this turn!"
Hanabi blinked "Uh, how?"
Naruto smiled "Watch me and be amazed, I summoning Rescue Cat in attack mode!"
A small cat monster appeared on the field ATK: 300
"How is that going to defeat Zombie Werewolf?" Sasuke demanded.
Naruto answered "I activate Rescue Cat's ability, by sending it to the Graveyard, I can special summon two level two or three Beast type monsters from my Deck!*
Naruto sends Rescue Cat away and spoke "So please welcome my Elephun Tuner Monster, and D.D Crazy Beast!"
A small blue elephant head ATK: 500 and a crazy beast monster appeared ATK:1400.
"Next," Naruto spoke "I'll be tuning my level two Elephun Tuner Monster with my Level 3 D. Beast!"
Elephun broke into two rings as D.D. Crazy Beast seemed to wander right through it as if in a scanner as Naruto chants out "In order to protect Konoha, we must fight on and never give up...Synchro Summon...Defend...Natria Beast!"
A bright flash of light appeared and Natria Beast appears on the field ATK: 2200
Hanabi actually smiled for once "Way to go Naruto! That was a smooth move for once!"
Naruto then grinned "Thanks Hanabi!" he now points at Sasuke and Hades "If you two plan on using Spell cards, you can forget it as long as Natria Beast is on the field, all Hanabi and have to do is send two cards from the top of our deck to the Graveyard and that'll negate and destroy that Spell Card!"
Sasuke looked at Naruto "As if that'll matter in the end."
Hades eyes Naruto "True, but you still can't attack yet."
Naruto held up another card "On normal Tag Duel Conditions that is true, but I activate the Spell Card: Ninja-Speed Attack!"
A spell activated and Naruto explained it "I can activate this card when I have one monster on the field and there's a condition preventing me from attacking, now until the end of my Battle Phase, I can attack with my monster."
Hanabi and I actually smiled, Naruto was actually thinking big.
Naruto then smiled "So with my Spell Card activate, it's time for BATTLE!"
Naruto points at Zombie Werewolf "Alright now, Natria Beast, attack Zombie Werewolf, Natria Pounce Slash!"
Natria Beast charges forward and pounces slashing at Zombie Werewolf. Zombie Werewolf howls in pain before it is destroyed and Hades takes damage.
Hades and Sasuke's LP: 7000
"That wasn't a bad move" Hanabi told Naruto.
Naruto chuckled "Thanks! Now we won't have to deal with that Zombie!"
Hades smirked "So you say, my Zombie Werewolf's destruction by Battle activates both it's ability and Underworld's ability. First of all when Zombie Werewolf is destroyed, I can special summon another one in it's place this time with five hundred more attack points, but first the Field Spell Card's effect activates as well, when a monster on my side of the field is destroyed, it gains an Underworld Counter and my opponents take damage equal to half of my destroyed monster's attack points."
"Say what?" Naruto demanded.
A ghostly image of the destroyed Zombie Werewolf seemed to appear underneath the river of Hades's Field Spell then shoot out towards Naruto. Naruto pailed seeing the ghost like object as it strikes him in the chest. Naruto cringed in shouts in pain, falling onto his knees as both his and Hanabi's Life Points dropped.
Hanabi and Naruto's LP: 7400
I watched as the ghostly image went up onto a counting clock on the skull faced building. I had a bad feeling about this. That was one counter. Something was up.
"Are you okay Naruto?" Hanabi asked him.
"I will be" Naruto said a bit shakily at having a ghost come at him.
Then as if to add insult to injury Hades special summoned another Zombie Werewolf back to the field immediately after Underworld's effect but it did get stronger. ATK: 1700
Naruto gets up staring at the revived monster "Natria Beast is stronger still!"
He then saw a card in his hand "I'll set one card face down, and it ends my turn.
I watched on now knowing Underworld's first effect, first of all it turned all of Hades' and Sasuke's monsters into fiend type, and if a monster on their side of the field was destroyed, Hanabi, and Naruto would lose Life Points equal to half of the monster's attack points and a counter was placed on it. I had a very bad feeling what the counter did as Hades didn't reveal that part yet. Which meant...Something bad was about to happen.
Sasuke then spoke "Then it's my move, I draw!"
Sasuke drew his card looking at the scene I knew he was thinking of something but couldn't make it out. Most likely he was scanning the field, yes, Natria Beast was powerful and was able to cancel out Spell Card effects, that made it tricky. However Hades' Field Spell Card had potential in being deadly.
Sasuke nodded "Alright then, I'll summon Strike Ninja to the field in defense mode. A ninja appeared on the field but in defense mode DEF: 1200
Sasuke then spoke "I'll set one card face down turn end."
"Then it's my move" Hanabi spoke "I draw!"
She drew a card eying the field. She doubted Sasuke had a Zombie Werewolf in his deck but, she also didn't want to take half of Zombie Werewolf's attack ether thanks to the Field Spell, then there was Strike Ninja. Neither were good options. However she had hers "First I'll summon Alien Infiltrator in attack mode!"
Alien Infiltrator appears on the field ATK: 800
Hanabi then spoke "I'll equip it with Strike Force Armor!"
Armor seemed to attach to Alien Infiltrator as Hanabi spoke "The Equip Spell Card gives any level 3 or below Alien Monster that it's equipped to eight hundred attack points!"
Alien Inflitrator's attack points rose 800-1600
Hanabi then spoke "I'll activate Alien Inflitrator's Special ability! Once per turn, I can move it to another area on my side of the field!"
With this she moved her Alien Inflitrator to the last Monster card zone to the right. As it was immediately summoned on Natria Beast's right side.
Hanabi then spoke "Battle!"
Hanabi then spoke "If Alien Infiltrator is on an area of the field where my opponent has No spell or Trap Cards, it can attack the player directly!"
Naruto smirked "That's the Hanabi I know! Hit Sasuke hard!"
"I plan to!" Hanabi said "Alien Infiltrator attack Sasuke directly!"
Alien Infiltator seemed to vanish as it makes it's way towards Sasuke. Sasuke looked surprised at this but smirked "I activate my Continuous Trap Card, Attack Transfer!
Sasuke's face down activated and it's picture looked like Command Knight which had three green Arrows pointing up. Sasuke announced the effect "I can activate this card when you or the loser-"
"That's Naruto!" Naruto shouted annoyed.
Sasuke smirked continuing his explanation "Anyway when you or the loser declares an attack and I have at least one monster on the field, I can lesson any Battle damage by the attack points of a monster I have to lessen any blow."
Hanabi bit her lip seeing that Zombie Werewolf and Strike Ninja had seventeen hundred attack points each. Sasuke nodded "So I'll offer all of the attack points from Strike Ninja which are seventeen Hundred attack points to make your Direct Attack damage 0!"
Alien Infiltrator strikes out with it's tentacles at Sasuke but all of Strike Ninja's attack points dropped to 0 and a barrier was formed protecting Sasuke from all of the damage. Naruto blinked "No way!"
Sasuke smirked "As long as Hades or I have a monster with at least sixteen hundred attack points or more...Thanks to Attack Transfer, that battle damage from the attack will be zero."
"Ah, man!" Naruto sighed "Just when Hanabi and I could've made a bigger lead!"
"Should've known this wouldn't be that easy" Hanabi said "However, I will attack with Natria Beast! Natria Beast attack Zombie Werewolf!"
Natria Beast pounced on Zombie Werewolf slashing it. Sasuke knew that if he made Zombie Werewolf's attack points 0 then he'd still take five hundred points of damage, so he choose not to. Natria Beast Strikes Zombie Werewolf destroying it and dealing damage to Sasuke's Life Points.
Hades and Sasuke's Life Points: 6500
Sasuke turned to Hades "Uh, Lord Hades a problem with Zombie Werewolf..."
Hades also agreed "Oh yeah...I can only special summon it when I'm the one attacked...You don't have one do you?"
Sasuke nodded.
"Darn it!" Hades snapped but he calmed down "However you do know what can activate."
Sasuke nods "Exactly" Sasuke turned to Hanabi "By destroying Zombie Werewolf a second time, you've activated Underworld's second special effect, which causes you to take damage equal to half of the destroyed monster's attack points and we gain another Ghost Counter.
Once more a ghostly image of Zombie Werewolf appeared in the river and this time it floats over to Hanabi. It strikes Hanabi in her chest causing her to scream in pain as well as it knocked her flat onto her back still totally in pain. Then the clock on top of a building counted down to two.
Hanabi and Naruto's Life Points: 6550
"HANABI!" Naruto shouted seeing Hanabi lay on the ground not moving "Say something!"
I could tell it was her very first experience in taking real life battle damage in a Shadow Duel. It took a while for her to come around. She gasps for breathe fighting to get on all fours. Still gasping.
"Thank goodness you're safe" Naruto told her.
"Whose says I'm fine?" Hanabi asked him still gasping for breathe "That really hurt! Turn end."
Sasuke smirked at Hanabi "And that was only one hit to your Life Points Hanabi Hyugga. There are more to come!"
I watched as Hanabi gets up on her feet more determined to win "Naruto...We must win this."
"We will" Naruto told her "We aren't going to let someone like Sasuke and Hades get what they want with Kasumi."
I sent a worried look at the Hourglass containing my Chakra. It seemed to be running normally. Kakashi-Papa dodges attacks from Cerebreus long enough to look at the situation and I somehow heard him thinking Things aren't looking too good. Hanabi and Naruto are almost tied Life Point wise. This Field Spell Card of Hades is actually doing a lot more than they knew.
He dodges Cerebreus's bite and even gave it a good kick to the face. It fans back growling. Kakashi-Papa had to keep this up or the Duel would be the least of Hanabi and Naruto's worries.
Sokka's POV
We were still waiting for Hanabi, Naruto, Kakashi, and hopefully a Kasumi to return safely. We were at a loss. On the bright side, Haku was getting better and we'd be needing him to help protect Aang. Then Toph felt something in the distance somehow. Aang and Haku felt it too. Only Katara, Iruka and myself didn't feel it. I saw Haku shift "What's wrong Haku?"
Haku's eyes narrowed "Someone's Dueling in a Shadow Duel."
"Shadow Duel?" I asked.
Toph shrugged "I don't know what these Shadow Duels are, but my guess is nearly simular to Haku and Kasumi's Duels with their Titan Cards."
"Correct" Haku told her he turned to me, Katara, and Iruka "In Shadow Duels, the battle damage one takes is-"
Aang interrupted his normal kind face was now in sorrow "Is real...In short you lose a Shadow Duel, bad stuff can happen to you...Especially your soul."
"What's the worse that could happen?" Katara asked him.
Aang answered "Death."
There was a gasp coming from all of us.
"Do you know whose dueling in the Shadow Duel?" I asked Haku.
Haku answered "I don't know for real, but I can make a guess...It's our friends Naruto and Hanabi."
Aang then spoke "Dueling against Hades and his ally whoever that is"
Iruka watches as Kakashi seemed to appear "Kakashi! What's going on?"
Kakashi seemed to answer "It seems you've caught on."
"Are you the real Kakashi?" I asked him suspiciously even poking him "Because Hanabi and Naruto are dueling! You were with them to rescue Lady Kasumi!"
"Oh this is the real me alright, but more like I'm a Shadow Clone of the real Kakashi Hatake" Kakashi told us.
I blinked "Oh."
Kakashi turned to Iruka making his report "We've managed to track down where Hades took Lady Kasumi. She's safe for now but she could be turned evil if things don't go well. At the moment, the real me is facing off against Cerebreus holding it off so that the Shadow Tag Duel between Hanabi, and Naruto vs. Hades and Sasuke can conclude. It just begun."
"How are things going?" Iruka asked.
"Nearly even" the clone of Kakashi reported "Hades and Sasuke have 6500 Life Points, while Hanabi and Naruto have 6550."
"Keep us posted" Iruka told Kakashi "We're coming to aide you."
"Stay there" Kakashi warned "For Aang's sake. If Hanabi and Naruto fail...Kasumi is turned evil. No doubt Hades will send her to capture Aang."
Iruka nods "Alright then."
Aang turned to the Clone "Can you report back to the real Kakashi and let him tell Naruto and Hanabi that we're right behind them?"
The Shadow Clone of Kakashi nods "You can bet I will."
The clone dashes off. I looked out of the cave "Darn it!"
Kasumi's POV
Things weren't looking good again. At first glance both Hades and Sasuke had a slight lower Life Point disadvantage over Hanabi and Naruto but that was at fifty points. The first round was over and it was now Hades' turn once again. "It's my move!" Hades spoke "I draw"
Hades then smiled "Then I'll finally reveal my Counters effect! By removing them, I can special summon to the field the destroyed monsters and each monster on my side of the field has their levels increased by the number of counters removed!"
Two Zombie Werewolves reappear but sense it was special summoned by another card's effect their attacks remained at 1200. Then the two Zombie Werewolves level and Strike Ninja's Level went up by two making them all level six monsters.
I wanted to scratch my head as I thought That doesn't seem like a good move at all...None of them are Tuner Monsters.
Hades then smirked "It's time Sasuke and I get real serious! You see I now have three level six monsters which is all I need for a new type of Summon!"
I blinked not knowing about this move and both Naruto and Hanabi saw me look puzzled. They knew if I was confused, then they were certainly indeed in for a rude awakening.
Hades then smiled "Observe I build the Overlay Network overlaying my Two Zombie Werewolves with my Strike Ninja!"
A pitch black looking network seemed to suck in the three monsters as Hades smiled "Now when I overlay three level six monsters, I can now do a new type of Special Summon...XYZ, I XYZ Summon... Cerberus, Guardian of the Underworld!
In a blink of an eye a three headed dog appeared on the field. This one actually looked more vicious than the one Kakashi-Papa was facing, that and it seemed to have something orbiting around the monster as if it were a planet. ATK: 3000
"What just happened?" Hanabi asked.
Hades smiled "This is called an XYZ summon! And it's my best monster. Instead of hitting the Graveyard when monsters are used for XYZ Summons, those monsters become Overlay Units. Which can be discarded to activate the monster's ability. However this XYZ monster already comes with one that doesn't need activated by offering an XYZ unit!
Hades pointed "And let's get going shall we?"
Hades smirked "Battle! Cerebreus, Guardian of the Underworld, attack Alien Infiltrator!"
Cerebreus charged the alien and bit it with one of it's heads. Hanabi grits her teeth I activate Strike Force Armor's effect! By discarding it to the Graveyard, all Battle damage I'd take is zero and my monster isn't destroyed for that one attack. She discards the Equip Spell Card.
Her monster and her Life Points were sparred and Hades smirked "Not bad! However, remember that I mentioned Cerebreus, Guardian of the Underworld has a special ability that can be activated without sending an Overlay unit?"
Hanabi nods.
Hades smirked "Well it goes by this way! Cerberus, Guardian of the Underworld can attack as much times as it has for Overlay units!"
Hanabi grits her teeth "Then that means?"
Hades nods "To summon Cerberus Guardian of the Underworld you need three level six monsters to use, which gives it three overlay units...Which means that I can attack you three times during the Battle Phase. That was just once! Cerberus, attack Alien Infiltrator again!"
"Oh-nuts!" Hanabi shouted.
Hades' monster attacks Alien Infiltrator once again this time it did destroy it. The damage was great and Hanabi screamed in pain once again as she took it. She kneels onto the ground feeling her Life wither away.
Hanabi and Naruto's LP: 4350
Hades smiled "Sense your friend Naruto has a monster out on the field, it protects you from a direct attack! However, Cerberus attack Natria Beast!"
Naruto thought fast "From my graveyard, I activate the effect of Ninja-Speed Attack! By removing it from play, I can make the battle damage zero and Hanabi gets to draw two cards. Cerberus attacks Natria Beast destroying it but thanks to Naruto's quick thinking, Hanabi was spared from any more battle damage.
Hades smiled "You've dodged a bullet there Hanabi, but upon Sasuke's turn you and Naruto are finished! Cerebreus will see to that!"
"We'll see about that!" Naruto told the God as I now knew things were heating up.
