Yuki's POV
Crow, Akiza and I walked down the cold halls of the flying temple, seeking out the gear to halt its descent, I sensed a godly pressure from nearby in the direction Luna and Leo went which but me at ease. We entered into a room that was almost pure white, painfully so the only thing in there was a large grey pillar.
"That's it up there." I walked closer "Let's shut it down."
"Something is here." Cleo warned me.
"You won't be going any farther." A European woman with long blonde hair stepped out.
It's the girl from my dream…Sherry.
"Sherry." Akiza gasped confirming my suspicion of who she was.
"So you're working with ZONE." I hummed "Planning to guard this final spot I see."
"I thought you wanted revenge on Iliaster." Sherry said "Now you're working with them?"
"If she won't get out of the way…let's make her!" Cleo growled taking over "Move it brat!"
"This has nothing to do with you, stay out of the way." Sherry glared.
"HMPH!" Crow threw her a card.
"Where did you get this?" she asked.
"Your butler gave it too me." He said "He told me it's from your parents."
"Everything began with this." She sighed "Do you know what happens to someone like me who's lived her whole life for revenge?"
"You suffer for it." I said jumping into control.
"Yes, but now after meeting ZONE I have hope to live, I have seen God." She said.
"Your false gods are nothing." Cleo and I said "Enough talk, let's settle this with a duel when we defeat you you'll get out of our way! We'll see who reigns supreme your future machine god…"
I held up my ringed hand "Or my divine protectors!"
We began a duel, the three of us Vs Sherry.
"My life is connected to this planetary gear." Sherry said as the floor rumbled a bit "It won't stop unless you defeat me."
"Wouldn't have expected any less." I clicked my deck into my disc.
"If you two kids don't have the stomach for it, they quit now." Cleo told Crow and Akiza.
"Fine." Crow engaged his disc.
"Hmm." Akiza nodded.
"I'm going first." Sherry drew her hand "I play the field spell Ecole de Zone! While this is on the field no player my direct attack another."
A rose and flower covered temple appeared as our field.
"I will fight you all at once." Two copies of Sherry appeared.
"She split?" Cleo gasped as fog swept over the field.
"I don't see the others…" I hummed.
"This illusory fog is going to separate us." Cleo warned "We can't see each other's turns."
"Hm." Sherry appeared before me laughing softly as she looked down from the top of a fountain.
"You plan on managing three duels at once, good luck with that." I started playing "Cards of Consonance."
I discarded a card and then drew two
"Foolish Burial." I threw a card away "and then summon Dragunity Dux."
Dragunity Dux: LVL 4 ATK 1500 DEF 1000
"Hmm?" Cleo looked on as our monster was destroyed and replaced with a token.
"I see…" Cleo hummed.
I waited a bit for Akiza and Crow to take their turns, I couldn't see them but I trusted in them.
No…this doesn't make sense, she's playing monsters in a strange way…
"We need to get this field zone off." Cleo told me "I have an idea, but we must last as long as possible."
"Right." I nodded when my turn started again.
I summoned Phalanx but it was turned into a token like before and played a facedown.
"Huh?!" I gasped when one of my tokens was suddenly destroyed.
Cleo and Yuki- 4000 to 3300 LP
Sherry's monster changed, this time she had one of Crow's birds.
"She's trying to trick us." I smirked.
"Fear not things are ready." Cleo smirked back placing her hand on our deck "There's enough on the board, lend my your strength so we may lend it to them."
"Right!" I said "A truly powerful duelist can shape the outcome of a duel. They can even generate the very card that they need to draw!"
"This power may even transcend space and time!" Cleo drew and slapped a card down "We sacrifice our token, Crow's token and Akiza's token! And tribute summon!"
The ground quaked around us as I caught on.
"God of Death Anubis!" she yelled.
God of Death Anubis: LVL 10 ATK 3500 DEF 4500
"Hmm?" Sherry looked around "Where is this monster of yours?"
"He doesn't quite fit in here." I smirked as a chunk of the roof was blown off.
"HMM!" the giant jackal came into view.
"Impossible." Sherry gasped.
"We then give up 1000 life points to activate Anubis special ability Death Pact!"
Anubis staff glowed.
"To destroy all spells and traps on the field, and deal 250 damge to the owner for each card they have destroyed!"
The purple death wave cascaded over the field, wiping out Sherry's field spell.
Cleo and Yuki- 3300 to 2300 LP
Sherry- 4000 to 3000 LP
The fog vanished and I saw Akiza and Crow once more.
"Now this duel is over!" I yelled "Anubis!"
"Death Beam!"
The staff glowed once more and obliterated Sherry's remaining life points.
"We win." I stepped hard "Don't mess with our power."
Later
At the end of the day as always Cleo and I stood on the sidelines and watched the true chosen one defeat the villain and save us all, but now…things were done and we'd be separated from our friends once more, something I had grown to accept would be coming.
"Yuki…" Happiness approached me as I zipped my bag.
"Hmm?"
"Your next assignment will not come for some time." She told me "But…we've come to understand you've grown quite lonely."
"Hmm, it took you this long." I gave her a little back talk.
"Yes, we failed to take into account your feelings." She frowned "But, we hope to remedy that at this time, we've once more selected a champion for us to fight alongside you."
"So you're giving us a partner?" Cleo asked.
"You could say that." Happiness smiled "Though you already have wonderful chemistry I feel I don't need to worry?"
"So who is this new weirdo you're sticking me with?" I asked.
"Hey I'm not weird!" Luna stepped in.
"Luna?!"
"She accepted her destiny as our representative." Happiness smiled "She will follow you now, guide her well."
"Luna are you sure about this?" I asked "IF you stay you'll end up like me, stuck living while others pass you by."
"I understand." She frowned a bit "But…I want to help more people with you."
I sighed a bit.
"I look forward to working with you." She smiled "Forever!"
