Chapter 30
The Power of Emptiness

Kaito was going to his designated area, which was the same hotel where he had faced off against Junpei. His friends were reluctant in letting him go, but he had to. He was the only one who had faced Junpei before and had an idea who he was. Not to mention he knew the area fairly well due to the Heartland Hotel being extremely popular among tourists. He was leading a squadron of a few members of the resistance and kept them close by and not act independently in this crisis. They had about one hour left before the bombs that had been planted around Heartland to go off and destroy the city along with the remainder of its inhabitants. Kaito got closer to the wall of the building and looked over to see if there was anyone around. To his surprise, he found no one but knew there was something up. With no other choice, he began walking until he was situated in front of the hotel, gazing upon the hole whole on the fourth floor. As he expected, he found a familiar sight.

"You shouldn't have come here." Junpei was sitting on the edge of the hole, looking at his nails. The Resistance members were alarmed but Kaito signaled them to remain to await for further instructions.

"You know why I'm here. And it's not only due to the bombs that are active." He pointed at him dramatically."I am here to help you, Junpei!"

"Help me?" Junpei seemed perplexed and turned his attention to Kaito."How, pray tell, do you think of "helping" me, as you say?"

"I know that the Unifiers of Chaos are doing this unwillingly." Kaito went straight to the point."You are being manipulated and I want to help you. There is hope for you to turn back and atone for your mistakes."

Junpei stared at him with a blank expression for several seconds before shaking his head."I haven't gotten a clue about what nonsense you're spouting." He stood up swiftly and snapped his fingers, prompting a group of Academia duelists to come out of the main door and attack the Resistance members.

"Kaito-san!" One of them called after the squad leader who sprinted inside the hotel.

"I'll go after Junpei! The rest of you give me some space and handle them!" He ordered without stopping. He knew exactly where Junpei would be and a hunch as to where the bomb would be located. He reached the rooftop and saw a familiar scene around him. On the furthest part of the rooftop, stood Junpei.

"What a buffoon you are, Kaito. To think you'd challenge me again after I let you go last time? But this time there won't be any interruptions. If anyone interferes with our duel, the bomb will go off before due time." He activated his duel disk."It's time for me to finally get rid of the commoner!"

"Junpei..." Kaito bit his lower lip, activating his Duel Disk."If this is the only way to make you reason, so be it!"

"Duel!" Both of them yelled.

Kaito vs. Junpei LP: 4000 each.

"I'll start us off!" Kaito announced."I summon Cipher Wing from my hand!"

Cipher Wing Level 4, Light, Machine, ATK: 1400, DEF: 1200

"Next, since I control a Cipher Wing on the field, I can Special Summon another one from my hand!" Another mechanical being with wings appeared next to its copy.

"Already going for that galaxy-eyes monster?" Junpei mused, a hand covering his smirk.

"I construct the Overlay Network using these two level four monsters!" Kaito said, his monsters becoming into purple energy as they entered a black vortex."Luminous warrior that holds the sword of hope! XYZ Summon! Rank 4, Cipher Magnet Starlight!"

Cipher Magnet Starlight Rank 4, Light, Warrior, XYZ, ATK: 1500, DEF: 2000

A warrior clad in purple and white armor with a helmet covering its face appeared on the field, holding two lightsabers.

"I set a card face-down. Turn end!"

Junpei kept staring with a smirk, but he was confused. Normally, Kaito opted for summoning his strongest monster right off the bat."Well then, it's my turn! I draw! I summon Dragunity Aklys!"

Dragunity Aklys Level 2, Wind, Dragon, Tuner, ATK: 1000, DEF: 800

"Next, I'll be activating its Special Effect! When its Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a "Dragunity" monster from my hand to the field and equip it to my monster! I equip Dragunity Brandistock!"

A small dragon connected itself with Aklys, letting out a low screech.

"Next, I activate the Spell Card Dragunity Decompression! As you know, this card allows me to Special Summon a monster that is equipped to a "Dragunity" monster on my field! Now, come to the field, Brandistock! But that won't be for long, because I'll send Aklys to the graveyard to Special Summon Dragunity Arma Mystletainn from my hand!"

Dragunity Arma Mystletainn Level 6, Wind, Dragon, ATK: 2100, DEF: 1600

Dragunity Brandistock Level 1, Wind, Dragon, Tuner, ATK: 600, DEF: 400

"Next up, I activate the Spell Card, Tuner Advancement Trickery! I can increase the level of a Tuner monster I control by the amount of non-tuner monster I control!"

Dragunity Brandistock Level 2

"Now, I tune the Level six Arma Mystletainn with the Level 2 Brandistock!" Arma turned into 6 stars while Brandistock turned into 2 rings, surrounding them as Junpei chanted."Dragons of the ravine, unite to form a greater form, let your light shine despair across the land! Synchro Summon! Come, Level 8! Dragunity Knight - Barcha!"

Dragunity Knight - Barcha Level 8, Wind, Dragon, Synchro, ATK: 2000, DEF: 2100

"And now I will use its effect! I can equip it with any number of Dragon-Type "Dragunity" monster I have in my graveyard and increase its ATKs by 300 per each! Come, Brandistock, Alklys, and Arma!"

Dragunity Knight - Barcha ATK: 2900

"Battle! Barcha, attack his miserable monster and end its life! Pierce Gothy!" Barcha roared and flew over to Kaito's monster, its chin ready to pierce through it.

"I activate Magnet Starlight's effect! During either of our Battle Phases, I can detach an Overlay Unit to activate Starlight's effect. I can target a monster on your field, and then I can switch it to defense mode and Starlight gains ATKs equal to its DEF until the end of the battle phase!"

Cipher Magnet Starlight ATK: 1400+2100= 3500

"Clever trick." Junpei sneered."It seems you've gotten a bit better since last time. I do hope it'll be enough to not make all of this effort worthless. I set a card face-down and end my turn!"

Cipher Magnet Starlight ATK: 1400

"Junpei! I swear, I will stop you and make you realize where you've gone wrong! My turn, draw! I activate the Spell Card, Hyper Cipher! I can shuffle up to three "Cipher" monsters in my Graveyard to the Deck, and if they're of the same Level, I can Special Summon a "Cipher" monster from my Deck to the field! I Special Summon Cipher Tyranno!"

A metallic Tyrannosaurus rex appeared on the field, towering above the monsters below.

Cipher Tyranno Level 5, Light, Dinosaur, ATK: 2500, DEF: 1500

"Now, from my hand, I activate Cipher Biplane's effect! When a Cipher monster is Special Summoned to the field, I can Special Summon this from my hand!"

Cipher Biplane Level 6, Light, Machine, ATK: 1000, DEF: 2000

"So what? Do you seriously believe that's going to help you in any way?" Junpei mocked him, a cocky smile present on his face."Stall all you want, once I get the card I'm waiting for, and you know which one it is, you'll be done for."

"I do believe your chaos monster requires others "Dragunity" monsters to be in the graveyard. Considering the ones you have are not strong enough to power your monster up, I dare to say I have time. Now, I will activate Biplane's effect! Once per turn, I can target another "Cipher" monster I control and make its Level 8! I choose my Tyranno!"

Cipher Tyranno Level 8

"Furthermore, I can now use Tyranno's effect! When a monster on the field has its levels increased, Tyranno allows me to target a monster on my field and make its levels equal to its own! Biplane will now be a Level 8!"

Cipher Biplane Level 8

"Finally, I will use these monsters to Overlay!" Kaito announced as his monsters turned into purple energy and were absorbed by the black vortex."Galaxy shining in the darkness, embody the demon of revenge and become my servant! XYZ Summon! Descend, Rank 8! Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon!"

Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon Rank 8, Light, Dragon, XYZ, ATK: 3000, DEF: 2500

"Ah, there it is. Here I was, waiting for it to show up."

"I activate Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon's effect!" Kaito rose his head up high."By deta-

"I activate my Trap Card, Boundless Dragon Nest!" Junpei interrupted him."If a monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck declares an attack and I control fewer cards than my opponent, I can take control of your monster with its effects negated!"

"Impossible!" Kaito cried out in shock as his dragon lost its light and became dull as it went over to Junpei's side.

"Since you like to take other monsters, I figured the best way to punish you is making you feel the same feeling. Of your things being taken away from you." He hissed the last part, making sure to emphasize it.

"Then I will battle! And by detaching the last Overlay Unit, I can use Starlight's effect and target Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon to change it to defense mode and make Starlight's ATKs increase by the defense!"

Cipher Magnet Starlight ATK: 1400 + 2500= 3900

"And now I will attack Dragunity Knight - Barcha! Nutron Blade!" Starlight's sword began shining brighter than ever and sent a slash of energy toward Barcha and cutting it in half. Junpei felt as the shockwave pushing him back but not far enough that he would be in danger of falling off.

Junpei LP: 3000

"I set a card and end my turn." Kaito grimaced at his opponent.'Now I have to watch out for a Trap Card that would allow him to get Barcha back on the field.'

Cipher Magnet Starlight ATK: 1400

"Good. It's my turn! Draw! Now, your monster doesn't have any Overlay Units left. Meaning it's open for an attack! Go, Galaxy-Eyes! Attack your master and pillage his pathetic monster! Cipher Stream Evolution!" Galaxy-Eyes gathered as much energy as it could, but thanks to having its effects negate, the glow of its wings was dim. With a loud roar, the monster fired an energy blast that decimated Starlight. The explosion sent Kaito crashing down against the floor.

Kaito LP: 2400

"How did it feel?" Junpei grinned, eyeing the dragon."Your monster does have a good use. It's too bad I can't use its effects but that's okay. Using underhanded tactics to steal monsters is your specialty, not mine. Not to mention I have to swallow my pride and use an XYZ monster."

Kaito began standing up, his eyes still showing a fierce fire in them."It'll take more than that...to defeat me."

"I know. I guess I'll end my turn here." Junpei shrugged.

"My turn! I draw! I activate the Spell Card, Emergency Overlay!" Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon's Overlay Units turned into particles and went over to Kaito's hand, forming two cards in his hands."This card allows me to send as many Overlay Units from any monster on the field to the Graveyard and draw cards equal to the number of Overlay Units! I'll draw two cards! I then activate the Spell Card, Recovery Unit! When I control no monsters on the field, I can Special Summon one from the Graveyard! I Special Summon Cipher Tyranno in DEF mode!"

"And now, I activate my Trap Card, Cipher Recuperation! When a "Cipher" monster is Special Summoned on the field, I can draw four cards from my Deck and discard two. Now, I will activate the Spell Card, Cell Reduction! I can send Tyranno to the Graveyard to Special Summon two monsters from my Deck with half its Level! Come, two Cipher Soldiers!"

Cipher Soldier Level 3, Light, Warrior, ATK: 1350, DEF: 1800 (x2)

"Then, I use the two Level 3 Cipher Soldiers to Overlay! Streaming down from the pathway of the stars! Shine your light through the stellar end of the galaxy! XYZ Summon! Appear, Rank 3! Cipher Galaxy Dragon!"

A dragon shining in white energy with eyes that looked like small galaxies appeared on the field.

Cipher Galaxy-Eyes Dragon Rank 3, Light, Dragon, XYZ, ATK: 1800, DEF: 100

"What the hell is this?!" Junpei looked incredulously at the new monster.

"I detach two of its Overlay Units to activate its effect! I will increase its Rank by two per monster on the field! There are two monsters, and I used the effect twice, that means its rank will be...!"

"Seven!" Junpei gritted his teeth.

"I set two cards face-down and end my turn!"

"So, you were unable to destroy your precious Dragon? I'm assuming you need it alive to Rank-Up any higher or are just waiting for me to destroy that thing. Regardless! My turn! I draw! I activate the Spell Card, Pot of Greed! I can draw two new cards from my Deck! Now, I activate the Spell Card, Dragunity Solace! I can Special Summon two Level 3 or lower Dragunity monsters from my Graveyard to my field!"

Dragunity Brandistock Level 1, Wind, Dragon, Tuner, ATK: 600, DEF: 400

Dragunity Aklys Level 2, Wind, Dragon, Tuner, ATK: 1000, DEF: 800

"Following this, I Normal Summon Dragunity Legionnaire in ATK mode!"

Dragunity Legionnaire Level 3, Wind, Winged Beast, ATK: 1200, DEF: 800

"I tune the Level 3 Legionnaire and the Level 1 Brandistock with the Level 2 Aklys!" Junpei declared as his monsters began undergoing the Synchro Summoning sequence."Cursed spear of mortal pain, born of the bones of deepsea demons, take form now and plunge through the enemy's soul! Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 6! Dragunity Knight - Gae Bulg!"

Dragunity Knight - Gae Bulg Level 6, Wind, Dragon, Synchro, ATK: 2000, DEF: 1100

"You think you're such a hotshot, huh? You're nothing more than a peasant, you hear me!" Junpei growled at Kaito.

"Not so fast, Junpei! I activate the Quick-Play SPell, Rank-Up-Magic Cipher Supreme! I can target an XYZ monster on my opponent's field that has no Overlay Units and use it to Rank-Up one Rank Higher!" Galaxy-Cipher Dragon flew over Kaito's field and jumped inside a black portal."A galaxy that is beckoned forth with the zenithal execution of the Universe; become the omnipotent legend that surpasses space-time itself into a drive faster than light! Rank-Up XYZ Change! Rank 9, Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Blade Dragon!"

Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Blade Dragon Rank 9, Light, Dragon, XYZ, ATK: 3200, DEF: 2800

"You're laughing at me! You simpleton! Battle! I attack Cipher Galaxy Dragon! Fatality Foregone!"

The white dragon dived against the smaller dragon, destroying it thanks to the rider cutting its head off.

Kaito LP: 2200

"Damn! This is taking a lot longer than I had anticipated! But to think you'd steal that damn dragon back and evolve it again! You will never defeat me! I set a card face-down and end my turn!"

Kaito stood up once more, his determined expression still on his face."I meant what I said before. I will save you from yourself! My turn! I draw! I activate Blade Dragon's effect! I detach one of its Overlay Units to target a monster you control and destroy it!"

"Ha! I knew you would do that! I activate my Trap Card, Dragunity Barrier! For the rest of this turn, my monster cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects!"

Kaito clicked his tongue in annoyance."I set two cards and end it there."

"My turn then! You and your monster are finished! I declare an attack on Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Blade Dragon! And thanks to Gae's effect! I can Banish a "Winged-Beast" type monster from my Deck and add its ATKs to it until the end Phase! I banish Dragunity Legionnaire! Fatality Foregone!"

"You're insane! You'll destroy your monster too!" Kaito took a step back in alarm.

"Not so! Because I can banish Dragunity Barrier from my Graveyard and target a monster I control. It cannot be destroyed by battle for the rest of this turn!"

Gae Bulg and Blade Dragon crashed against each other until Gae overpowered it and destroyed it, sending Kaito rolling around on the ground, dangerously getting close to the edge of the rooftop.

"How is that? Taking me seriously now?" Junpei wagged a mocking finger."I told you, you should not have come here in the first place. Peasants like you need to-"

"I activate my...face-down..." Kaito cut him off, staring daggers at him."...Cipher Return! When an XYZ monster I control is destroyed by battle, I can Special Summon an XYZ monster with the same Rank ignoring its summoning conditions and use this Trap as its Overlay Unit! Come, Neo Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon!"

Neo Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon Rank 9, Light, Dragon, XYZ, ATK: 4500, DEF: 3000

Junpei's face grew red in fury as he took a stomp forward."Damn you! I can't believe I have to give it my all against a peasant like you! I set a card and turn end!"

"My turn! Draw! Junpei, please, you have to stop this. This duel is meaningless. We know what happened to you guys. The Unifiers of Chaos. That's why I want to help you. You're being used by someone else and doing things you don't want to. Duels aren't supposed to be used for mass destruction, they're supposed to be to entertain and unite people. This is the wrong way!"

"And what the hell do you know!" Junpei barked back."Why am I inferior to you...?" His voice broke a little bit."I was born and raised in the highest point of society! I was extremely particular about my public image and my taste so people could rely on me and look up to me! I am an entrepreneur! I am success itself! I will not be defeated by the likes of you! A nobody in a trash dimension that duels to entertain! That's pathetic! I have a reputation! Power! What do you have?! Nothing!"

"Wrong. You have been stripped everything you had when you left yourself to be manipulated. It's my turn. I draw. Let me help you. I understand the frustration you're feeling. It's slowly eating you away, isn't it? Well, I felt the same when I lost that time against you. But someone woke up me. I learned not to blame people for actions that were out of their control. There's more to your story and I want to hear it. And to show you that this is over. I detach all of Neo Galaxy-Eyes overlay Units to take over your monster and treat it as Neo Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon with its effects negated. Also, it cannot attack this turn."

"I...I..." He felt on one knee."I cannot win...just end it..."

"Very well. I'm sorry." Kaito grimaced at his rival."I attack the Player Directly! Neo Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon! Finish this duel!"

Neo Galaxy-Eyes fired a final attack that was coming to Junpei."Ha! I activate my Trap Card, Reject Reborn! I end the Battle Phase, Special Summon Barcha an Aklys in DEF mode with their effects negated!"

"What?!" Kaito's eyes widened.

"Hahahaha! As if I'll give up against a simpleton like you!"

"Then...you're beyond help..." Kaito bit his lower lip, inserting a card in his Duel Disk."I set a card and end my turn."

"My turn! I draw! It's finally time, Kaito! I activate the Spell Card, Chaotic Fusion! I fuse Barcha and Aklys to bring forth the bane of your existence!" Both Barcha and Aklys were grabbed by black hands and absorbed into a blood-colored vortex."Forgotten entity lost in the darkness, from the depths of chaos and devastation, emerge with the powers of a god! Chaos! Death! Destruction! Grant us the power of divinity and help us create the world into our new home Our Utopia! Chaos Fusion Summon! Descend from the cursed heavens, Level 9! CHAOS Dragunity Knight - Nomaki!"

Coming with a burst of black clouds, Nomaki emerged from the vortex. It was completely black and was wearing a crimson armor along with two horns on each side of its head. Its rider was coated with black armor and a crimson sword.

CHAOS Dragunity Knight - Nomaki Level 9, Dark, Dragon, Fusion, ATK: 2300, DEF: 2000

"Now thanks to Chaotic Fusion second effect, I can SPecial Summon two monsters, one of them being a Tuner! Come, Brandistock and Mystletainn! Then I'll use them both to Synchro Summon! Dragunity Knight - Trident!

Dragunity Knight - Trident Level 7, Wind, Dragon, Synchro, ATK: 2400, DEF: 2700

"That's not all! Nomaki can equip up to three "Dragunity" monsters from my Graveyard and gain their combined ATKs! Barcha, Mystletainn, and Aklys!"

Dragunity Knight - Nomaki ATK: 2300+2000+2100+1000= 7400

"Battle! I attack the Original Neo Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon with Nomaki! Javalin of Chaos!" Nomaki took flight up in the air and began descending, rotating as its aura increased in size and pierced cleanly through the dragon, leaving a gaping hole as this one exploded, creating a huge cloud of smoke that went up in the sky.

"I did it! Yes!" Junpei crossed his arms condescendingly."What did I tell you? A sore loser like you has no business challenging the elite, such as myself!" From the cloud of smoke, Gae Bulg flew over to Junpei's field."What? Why did it come back? The duel is over, you imbecile! Return to your card!"

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Rank-Up-Magic Last Salvation." Kaito's voice came from the smoke. Two pairs of wings began flapping the wind away, revealing Kaito still standing, panting."When an XYZ "Cipher" monster I control is destroyed by battle...I can Special Summon a monster that is one Rank Higher than the one that was destroyed!" A potent roar filled their eardrums as a new dragon similar to Neo Galaxy-Eyes began shining and letting out energy that disipated the smoke. This dragon had three heads, two pairs of wings, one being bigger than the last stood standing in front of Kaito."This is...my trump card...Solaris Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon!"

Solaris Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon Rank 10, Light, Dragon, XYZ, ATK: 3000, DEF: 3000 OU: 2

"This can't be!" Junpei grabbed his head."This can't be happening! I will not LOSE! I DESERVE EVERYTHING!"

'You are my little king, after all.' A gentle voice echoed in his mind.

"Mother...?" Junpei saw images of his past going in his mind."I-I-I...end my turn..."

Kaito watched with pity at the once proud duelist who he had hated so much before."My turn, draw. I activate Solaris Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon's effect. By detaching all of its Overlay Units, I can Special Summon as many "Galaxy-Eyes" monsters in my Graveyard to the field in DEF mode with their effects negated. Also, they cannot be switched to ATK mode."

Neo Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon Rank 9, Light, Dragon, XYZ, ATK: 4500, DEF: 3000

Cipher Galaxy-Eyes Dragon Rank 3, Light, Dragon, XYZ, ATK: 1800, DEF: 100

Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon Rank 8, Light, Dragon, XYZ, ATK: 3000, DEF: 2500

Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Blade Dragon Rank 9, Light, Dragon, XYZ, ATK: 3200, DEF: 2800

"Now, by reducing their ATKs and DEFs to 0, Solaris Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon gains the combined ATKs of all these monsters until the End Phase." He kept going slowly.

Solaris Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon ATK: 3000+1800+3000+3200= 11000

"Junpei!" Kaito called out to him.

Junpei rose his head slowly, frowning at the monster that was powering up to attack."Do what you have to do."

"Battle! Solaris Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Drago! Attack CHAOS Dragunity Knight - Nomaki! Ultimate Blast of Eradication!" The three heads of the dragon fired a powerful blast from each mouth and united into one as Kaito rushed to Junpei and tackled him along with the blast. The Resistance had the upper hand and watched as some member of Academia had begun retreating. A giant flash of light passed by them and collided with three buildings until eventually, it stopped in the middle of the road. Kaito was on top of Junpei, pinning him down as the light died down.

Junpei LP: 0

Winner: Kaito!

"It's...over..." Kaito stumbled back and fell on his back.

Junpei opened his eyes, the crimson tint fading away and revealing his eyes to be as green as his hair."I remember now...my parents' company went bankrupt and they had no choice but to give everything up. Our luxury life vanished in an instance and soon we started looking for jobs...it was so humiliating and frustrating that our life had been ruined..." He sat up, using the wall of a building to support himself."That's when Seiko came into my life...she told me she'd give me the riches and power I deserved if I helped her. Of course, my pride didn't let me do that but I was no match for her...I saw how pathetic I was and knew I needed to get stronger...this was the only...way..."

Kaito had stood up and walked over to him, listening to his story.

"I was jealous...of you...you had people who looked up to you and counted on you. The rest of your...friends...they share a similar path to yours...I wanted to obliterate that...those smiles of happiness...the power told me to do so...it was for the better of our world..." He chuckled bitterly."But I was a f-f-fool..."He wheezed out in pain."You kept fighting for good. Even after what I did to your family...you wanted to reach out to me...you are beyond my comprehension...you know?" He grabbed something in his pocket and revealed it to be a golden key. With effort, he tossed it to Kaito."There...the bomb is inside..." He watched as his legs began disintegrating."...inside the auditorium...also...here!" He tossed him the cards of Dr. Faker and Hart."I can't help you...return them to normal...but...carry them with you...and I'm sorry...for everything..." His body disintegrated entirely, leaving a few specks of dust flying in there until they too vanished.

"I heard your anguish...Junpei." Kaito turned around and began running back to the Heartland Hotel, holding the key and his carded family.

There you guys have it. Hope you enjoyed the chapter and I'm sorry it took longer than expected. I have been posting a few new chapters in my Seraph of the End Story. Anyways, I have to apologize because I had written more to the story that explained how the bombs were planted and that Academia gave one hour to disarm them all or the entire city blows into smithereens. With this chapter came the conclusion with the duel between Kaito and Junpei and the next one comes the duel with Tatsuyo and a few other surprises. Hope you have a good day and don't forget to review and leave your support. Bye-bye.
