Vile: To get an idea out of my head, I cooked up a Decks-hibition story for you all to enjoy!
Yuma: Who's the main character this time?
Vile: It's our favorite child actor, Fuya! From what I recall, quite a few people wanted to see him get a story in this.
Fuya: I haven't seen much action on this site regardless. Let's see what you gave me!
Vile: See it we shall. Standard disclaimer, blah, blah, blah, I only own my characters and the bolded cards. Enjoy!
Decks-hibition
Story 5: Robin VS Dead Max: Live
The double doors were busted down by a strong kick as a figure leapt into the room. The cape flowed as the legendary hero, Star Robin, rose up. "Dead Max!" He called out, pointing at a very tall figure concealed by a cloak. Red eyes could be seen on the face.
"So… Star Robin, you have made it here." A voice boomed, obviously the figure. "I did not appreciate what you did to Galaxy Queen."
"That's my line, you monster! You'll pay for what you did to Kaa-chan!" Robin retorted.
"We're with you, Robin!" The voice of Puman said as he walked up beside him.
"Dead Max won't know what hit him!" Galeruda said, descending.
"Let's show him who's boss!" Mira said as she waddled beside Robin.
"I'm ready to fight!" Ironhammer said as he also descended.
"So… the group is all here." Dead Max said. "Lovely. Now I shall have the pleasure of eradicating you all at once!"
"We will never let that happen!" Robin declared. An image of Galaxy Queen flashed in his mind. "For Kaa-chan, and for everyone else in the galaxy… Prepare yourself, Dead Max! It is time… for the grand feast of justice!" Robin pointed at Dead Max as his last line echoed.
"CUT!" Someone's voice yelled. Robin relaxed, lowering his arm. "Cut and print! That was awesome! Nice going, everyone! That take's going right to the show, it was perfect!"
Fuya ripped off his mask and straightened his hair as the other actors walked offstage. "Whew! What a day!"
He walked offstage, being greeted by his mother, who hugged him. "That one was great, Fuya. One take is all we needed for that!"
Fuya returned the hug with a smile. "Arigatou, Kaa-chan! Only one more episode until the finale of Season 2!" Fuya looked around and saw a cameraman. "Hey, Ryu! Has the script for the next episode been written yet?"
"Yeah, it should be in the lounge." The man said before walking off.
"I'll get to work on the script, and we might be able to get the next episode done tomorrow, if we're lucky!" Fuya chirped, rushing off toward the studio, leaving his smiling mother behind. When the child actor reached the lounge, he looked around and found a Xerox on the table. He picked it up, seeing "Star Robin Finale" written on it. 'Eh? I thought we had at least one more season planned.' He thought, opening the book. Reading the lines, everything seemed on the up-and-up: Climactic battle with Dead Max intact, everyone present. Then Fuya got to the end of the script, and his eyes widened at one of the lines that followed. Reading on until the end of the script, Fuya felt his blood boil. He immediately stormed out of the lounge, stopping when he saw his mother. "Kaa-chan!" Mrs. Okudaira jumped when she heard her son's voice in such a voice, turning to see him marching up to her with a scowl. He stopped and held up the script. "What is this tripe?"
Mrs. Okudaira took the script and began reading through it, focusing when she reached the end. A worried look came on her face as she read the lines. "No, no, no, this isn't what we had planned! This script must be some mistake!"
"Oh, but it is no mistake, my dear." A male voice said. Fuya and his mother turned to see a man in a typical business suit, with orange hair and brown eyes looking at them. "That script is true as can be. Please, come to my office and we'll discuss this."
*Later*
Fuya and his mother sat in two chairs in an office, the former scowling. The man sat in a chair behind a desk, a name plate saying "Laurent Perrier" on the desk. "So, I would assume you have an issue with the finale's script?" Laurent asked.
"An 'issue'? This script is total garbage!" Fuya snapped, swiping the book. "What is this? 'Catastophic attack. Dead Max and Robin are both destroyed. Funeral scene, cloudy skies, mourning from everyone. Dead Max's hand rises from the rubble of his fortress.'" Fuya closed the book hard.
"You know we had already planned more than just two seasons, Laurent!" Mrs. Okudaira added. "What is the meaning of calling this episode the series finale?"
Laurent sighed before standing up, looking out the window of his office. "It's quite simple. Tastes in media change constantly. People want new programming on the air. A new generation is being opened to the wonders of television. So, I find it time that our network changes its focus to appeal to the younger generation. More kid-friendly programming to mold young minds. Our network will be broadcasting an all-new line-up. To put it shorthand…" Laurent turned around. "Star Robin's time in the spotlight is over."
"You have no right to do this!" Fuya said.
"I am one of the executive producers of this network, so I have a say in this."
"You've worked as an executive producer for two weeks, and you only took part in making three episodes of the series!" Mrs. Okudaira snapped. "Star Robin has the best ratings of any show on our line-up, and writings have already been made for Season 3!"
"I am well aware of this. All materials regarding any future seasons of Star Robin will be destroyed upon the completion of the finale." Laurent said. "It doesn't matter how much you protest: Star Robin is over." All of a sudden, Laurent was dealt a punch to the face. Fuya was the one who threw it. Then, the boy grabbed the script, opened the window, and chucked the papers out into the winds. "You idiot!" Laurent cried, getting to his feet. "That was the only copy of the script! I haven't had it copied yet!"
"That's a good thing!" Fuya snapped, closing the window. "I'd be damned if I let Star Robin, a show beloved by people all over Heartland, to be stopped so easily, especially by someone who obviously doesn't care about the viewers if he tried pulling this stunt!"
Laurent gained a tic mark. "You miserable…"
Fuya pointed at him. "Duel me, Laurent. We'll settle this in 30 minutes on the stage. If I beat you, Star Robin will continue, and you will have no say in the matter of future seasons!"
Laurent straightened his suit. "Fine, but if I win, not only will Star Robin be cancelled, but Star Robin Studios will be renamed Perrier Productions, and you will be fired!"
Mrs. Okudaira gasped at the mention of her son losing his son. "Fuya, you can't-"
"I accept! You'll taste the real grand feast of justice, you cad!" Fuya snapped.
*10 Minutes Later*
The sound of a safe door was heard opening. Light poured into the small vault showing a Deck. "I don't think they'll mind me swiping this for a while…" A voice said before a hand reached in and removed the Deck, the safe being closed afterwards.
*20 Minutes Later*
Fuya was all set on the stage, having already spiked up his hair yet not having put on his mask. He tapped his foot in waiting. "What's taking him so long?" He wondered.
"Sorry, sorry. I got sidetracked on my way here." Laurent said as he walked into the room. "Shall we begin?"
"Let's!" Fuya said. He tossed up his mask before grabbing it and putting it on. He then deepened his voice. "Star Robin is on the scene!"
"Duel Disk, set! D-Gazer, set!"
"AR VISION, LINK ESTABLISHED." Both players' D-Gazers flashed, as well as those of the spectators. "ESTABLISHING LINK BETWEEN A AND B." The area morphed into the augmented reality.
"DUEL!"
Fuya LP:4000
Laurent LP:4000
"Boku no turn! Draw!" Fuya drew his card. "Bestial Warrior Puman, Shoukan!" His monster, a feline humanoid with black-and-gold armor, a red cape, and a sword, took the field.
Bestial Warrior Puman: Lv.4 LIGHT Beast-Warrior ATK:1600/DEF:1000
"I place one card facedown! Turn end!" Fuya's facedown emerged.
"Watashi no turn. Draw!" Laurent drew his card. A smirk came on his face. "Dead Max's Energoid, Shoukan!" Purple lightning crackled as a soldier jumped onto the field. It was covered in futuristic silver armor, the joints denoted by purple, with its face covered by purple glass. Its whole body crackled with purple electricity, and it carried an odd blaster.
*pushes Pause Button on fic*
Vile: Yes, a Master Chief rip-off in ZEXAL. I don't even like Halo, but his armor worked for me.
*pushes Play Button*
Dead Max's Energoid: Lv.4 DARK Thunder ATK:1900/DEF:200
"An Energoid?" Puman gasped.
"A Dead Max army card?" Fuya gasped.
"Energoid, attack Puman now! Dead Buster!" Energoid pointed its blaster at Puman and fired a blast of purple lightning out of it.
"Trap Card, Iron Giant Guard, hatsudo!" Fuya's facedown flipped up. "If one of the Robin Family members is about to be attacked, I can protect them by Special Summoning our metal-willed comrade! Arawareyo, Tetsukyojin (Iron Giant)… Ironhammer!"
"Don't worry, Puman!" The deep voice of the giant boomed of he emerged from nowhere. "I will keep you safe!"
Iron Giant Ironhammer: Lv.8 EARTH Rock ATK:900/DEF:3500
Ironhammer moved his arm into the ground in front of Puman, taking the purple lightning blast and conducting it into the ground. "Arigatou, my friend!" Puman thanked as Ironhammer withdrew his arm. "I owe you for this!"
"No need, my friend. I would never let my comrades die so easily!" Ironhammer replied.
"Iron Giant Guard prevents Battle Damage from occurring from the battle with Ironhammer, so you lose no Life Points." Fuya told Laurent. "Complete your move!"
"Very well. I place two cards facedown. Turn end!" Laurent finished.
Mrs. Okudaira looked at the staff nearby. "When were Dead Max cards even created?" She accused.
"We got them just last week! They were gonna be given to Fuya-san after we completed Season 2!" One of the staff members said. "Laurent must've stolen the cards!"
"Boku no turn! Draw!" Fuya drew his card. "Magic Card, Trion Call, hatsudo! This lets me check the top 10 cards of my Deck, and if any of them are a specific monster, I can Special Summon them instantly!" Fuya took the cards and flipped them over. "Fortune shines! Tri-Star Trion san tai de, Tokushu Shoukan!" Three shooting stars zipped around the field before landing as three sprite-like creatures: A blue-garbed one with pointed ears and one star on his shirt, a green-garbed one with round ears and two stars on his shirt, and a red-garbed one with hair obscuring his ears and three stars on his shirt.
Tri-Star Trion x3: Lv.1 LIGHT Warrior ATK:100/DEF:100
"Trion Call places the rest of the cards back in my Deck and shuffles." Fuya returned his cards, and the Deck auto-shuffled. "Boku wa Reberu Ichi no Trion san tai de, Obarei (I Overlay my three Level 1 Trions)!" The three monsters shot into the air and zipped around each other, turning fully yellow. A red spiral portal opened up, and all three monsters sailed inside. "San tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Ekushiizu Shoukan!" A flurry of multicolored stars emerged onto the field. "Arawareyo… Super Star Mira!" From the stars, a chunky figure of the same race as the Trions emerged. It wore yellow with a silver armored top, a black coat with silver shoulder pads around the outfit, and brown shoes. A red sun-like pattern was on the armor, and it wore a helmet with two horns. A silver staff was in its hand, a star-like object with an "S" in the center on the top, which it crossed in front of it. Three yellow Overlay Units circled it.
Super Star Mira: Rank 1 LIGHT Warrior ATK:1100/DEF:1000
"Ah, Mira! You have arrived!" Puman mused.
"Yep, yep, yep! And I'm here to fight!" Mira squeaked in a female voice.
"Well, it's a good thing you're here. We seem to be fighting minions of Dead Max!" Ironhammer said.
'They have no idea.' Laurent thought.
"I am glad you could join us, Mira. But now is time to attack! Ironhammer no kouka hatsudo!" Fuya declared. "Once per turn, one Level 4 or below monster I control is able to attack directly this turn!"
"Let us go, Puman!" Ironhammer declared, lowering his hand. The feline warrior hopped on the hand.
"Bestial Warrior Puman, attack!" Fuya called.
Ironhammer threw Puman toward Laurent, the warrior drawing his sword. "Black Slash!" Puman roared, bringing the sword down on Laurent.
"Ngh!" The producer grunted.
Laurent LP:2400
"Well done, Puman, Ironhammer!" Fuya said, the warrior returning to his side. "I place one card facedown! Turn end!"
"Watashi no turn… Draw!" Laurent drew his card. "Dead Max's Octooze, Shoukan!" An odd red vat dropped onto the field. Eight holes were in the side. All of a sudden, green slime oozed out of the holes, forming tentacles. A bubble of the same slime formed out of the type before sprouting eyes and a sucker mouth, letting out a blubbering sound.
Dead Max's Octooze: Lv.3 WATER Aqua ATK:500/DEF:500
"Energoid, attack Super Star Mira!" The soldier pointed its gun at the staff-wielder. "Dead Buster!" It fired the blast at Mira.
"Mira no kouka hatsudo! By using an Overlay Unit, I can prevent Mira from being destroyed!" Mira absorbed one of her Units into her staff and formed a barrier around her, blocking the beam but sending electricity everywhere.
Fuya LP:3200
"Hmph. You must think you're rather clever. I place one card facedown. Turn end."
"And Mira's effect takes hold! If an Overlay Unit she uses was a Tri-Star Trion, I can Special Summon it to the field during the End Phase with its effects negated!" The red-garbed Trion returned to the field.
Tri-Star Trion: Lv.1 LIGHT Warrior ATK:100/DEF:100
"Boku no turn! Draw!" Fuya drew his card. "Now I release this Trion! Adobansu Shoukan!" The Trion leapt into the air before turning into a rainbow portal. "Arawareyo, Phoenix Beast… Gairuda!" From the portal, cloaked in flames, the bird beast descended to the field before spreading his wings, releasing the flames.
Phoenix Beast Gairuda: Lv.6 WIND Winged Beast ATK:2500/DEF:1200
"Am I late to anything?" The bird asked.
"Nope! The battle's just getting started!" Mira chirped.
"But we're still missing our key comrade!" Puman realized.
"Not for long!" Fuya declared, drawing the card he got from Gairuda's effect. "Trap Card, Star Robin on the Scene!, hatsudo! If I control Gairuda, Puman, Mira, and Ironhammer, I can Special Summon the final member of our family!" He rose his arm to the sky, where a rip in space occurred. "Tokushu Shoukan! Arawareyo! Ijigen Esupaa (Different Dimension ESPer)…"
The four comrades joined in as the last two words were spoken. "STAR ROBIN!"
From the space, a purple-energy-radiating being descended with a battle yell, landing on the ground. It stood up, revealing itself to be the hero of the galaxies, and Fuya's discolored doppelganger. "Star Robin…" He said, then he whipped his cape behind him. "…is on the scene!"
D.D. ESPer Star Robin: Lv.10 LIGHT Warrior ATK:3000/DEF:1500
An angry reaction came from the two minions. "Star Robin!" They growled.
"Forgive me for arriving late, my friends!" Robin told them.
"Do not worry, Robin! We have the upper hand!" Puman told him.
"Thank goodness. Now, let us win this battle!" Robin declared.
"Star Robin, attack Dead Max's Octooze!" Fuya ordered.
The hero leapt into the air and darted toward the slime creature. "Surprise… PUNCH!" Robin yelled.
"Trap Card, Paralyze Spell of Dead Max, hatsudo!" Laurent flipped his facedown. "This card negates your attack and ends the Battle Phase immediately!" A grid of purple lightning formed from the card.
Star Robin impacted the net, electrocuting him. "Gah-G-G-Gah-Gah!" He muttered before he was thrown back to Fuya's field.
"Are you all right, Robin?" Gairuda asked.
"Don't worry about me. That was nothing." Robin said as he got up.
"Oh, but there's more. If I negated an attack against a Dead Max monster, you automatically receive 800 points of damage!" The lightning grid formed into a single bolt and jolted forward.
Fuya barely managed to jump out of the way. "Gah!"
Fuya LP:2400
"Ngh! These cards are more troublesome than I thought they would be. I switch Super Star Mira to Defense Mode!" The small monster crossed her staff across her body. "I place one card facedown! Turn end!"
"Watashi no turn…" Unknown to anyone but him, another card secretly slid out from his Deck, which he grabbed along with the top card.
Draw!" Laurent drew his cards, Fuya thinking he only drew one. A grin came from him. "Dead Max's Magminion, Shoukan!" His monster was a small, rotund, orange monster with a spherical body, small arms and legs, a metal face on the front of its body, and a volcano on top.
Dead Max's Magminion: Lv.2 FIRE Pyro ATK:800/DEF:0
"I release Energoid, Octooze, and Magminion! Adobansu Shoukan!" All three of his monsters vanished.
"Nani?" Fuya's five monsters cried. From above, a ship began to descend, looking eerily similar to the Jet Iron. An odd bundle was on it.
"Arawareyo… the ultimate weapon of the Dark Emperor…" The ship landed, dropping off the bundle before flying away. Then, the case rumbled and cracked. "Dead Max's… Enormousaur X!" The case was shattered by the being within: A huge metallic dinosaur, covered in blue, purple, and yellow armor, its head being red. Various weapons adorned its body, including two huge missile pods.
Dead Max's Enormousaur X: Lv.10 DARK Dinosaur ATK:3500/DEF:2700
Robin and his comrades trembled. "Bakana… Enormousaur!" Puman said.
"Stay firm, everyone. We have defeated this monster before, so we can do it once more!" Robin told them.
"Are you positive about that? Enormousaur X! Attack Puman now!" The dinosaur's green eyes glowed harshly, and it opened its maw, gathering energy into it. "Enormous… LASER!" The energy fired out as a HUGE laser beam directed at the feline warrior.
"Mira no kouka hatsudo! By using an Overlay Unit, I can prevent Puman from being destroyed!" Fuya declared.
"Hang on, Puman!" Mira cried, absorbing one of the yellow orbs into her staff. She leapt in front of Puman and formed her barrier, sending the beam's parts everywhere.
"Gwaaaaaahhh!" Fuya yelled as he was thrown back.
Fuya LP:800
"Ngh!" He grunted as he landed.
Laurent's eye twitched. "Foolish kid… why won't you just let yourself lose?" He asked. "Oh well. Your fate is sealed regardless. Turn end."
Fuya got to his feet. "Boku no turn! Draw!" He drew his card. "We have no choice now. We must implement our plan! Trap Card, Change to Jet Iron!, hatsudo! By releasing Robin, Puman, Gairuda, and Ironhammer, I can call forth our greatest vessel!" The four comrades shot into the air, entering a distortion in space. "Arawareyo! Ijigen… Jet Iron!" From the distortion, the massive rocket ship descended to the field, Robin coming up and taking the helm.
D.D. Jet Iron: Lv.10 LIGHT Machine ATK:0/DEF:0
"Jet Iron?" Laurent cried.
"Jet Iron no kouka hatsudo! Its Attack Points are increased by the Attack Points of the monster used to Summon it! Total amount: 8000!"
D.D. Jet Iron ATK:8000
Laurent though fast. "Continuous Trap, Toxic Mist of Dead Max, hatsudo! This card halves the Attack Points of Robin and all his comrades, including your Jet Iron!" A pink haze suddenly shot out from the card, covering the field.
Mira started coughing and hacking. "This mist… it's draining my strength!"
"Mine *cough cough* too! I can't… keep control of this!" Robin groaned.
Super Star Mira ATK:550
Jet Iron ATK:4000
"It's still enough to break through! Jet Iron, destroy Enormousaur X!" Robin steered himself and directed the ship on course. "Iron Phoenix!" The rockets flared, charging the ship forward in an aura of flames. The metallic dinosaur braced itself, but the ship's bow crashed through it, causing it to roar in pain and malfunction before toppling over, self-destructing.
"Gyah-gah!" Laurent groaned.
Laurent LP:1900
"Now do you see, Laurent?" Fuya told him as Iron Phoenix returned to his field. "None of Dead Max's creations will be able to defeat Robin and his family! Jet Iron no kouka hatsudo! By releasing it, the Robin Family returns to the field!" The ship fluctuated before splitting apart, the four warriors kneeling on the field in Defense Mode.
Robin ATK:1500 (due to Toxic Mist)
Puman ATK:800 (due to Toxic Mist)
Gairuda ATK:1250 (due to Toxic Mist)
Ironhammer ATK:450 (due to Toxic Mist)
"I place one card facedown! Turn end!"
Laurent stood up from the shockwave, trembling. Growling breaths came from him. "Watashi no turn… DRAW!" He drew his card. "Trap Card, Summon Portal of Dead Max, hatsudo! This lets me Special Summon 1 Level 3 or below Dead Max monster from my Deck! Dead Max's Moscouter, Tokushu Shoukan!" The monster emerged as a black mosquito-like creature with big orange wings, red eyes, and a large spear.
Dead Max's Moscouter: Lv.2 DARK Insect ATK:600/DEF:600
"Dead Max's Sniperaptor, Shoukan!" His new monster was a gray reptilian monster, dressed in army-type gear and holding a rifle.
Dead Max's Sniperaptor: Lv.3 WATER ReptileATK:1500/DEF:0
"Now that I control two Dead Max monsters, Dead Max's Kongborg, Tokushu Shoukan!" Another monster emerged, this one being a gorilla-like monster, its body covered in cybernetics and armor.
Dead Max's Kongborg: Lv.5 FIRE Beast ATK:2100/DEF:600
"Magic Card, Greed Pact of Dead Max, hatsudo! If I control three or more Dead Max monsters, I can draw one card for each one!" Laurent drew his three cards, panting. "I am sick of this Duel… just as I am sick of you. I'll end this just like I'm ending Star Robin! Magic Card, Level Curse of Dead Max, hatsudo! This takes the Levels of three or more monsters I control and adds them up! Then their Levels all become equal to that total! 3 plus 2 plus 5 equals 3 Level 10 monsters!"
Moscouter: Lv.10
Sniperaptor: Lv.10
Kongborg: Lv.10
Laurent chuckled evilly. "Now… the Robin family shall meet its end! Ore we Reberu Juu no Dead Max monsuta san tai de, Obarei!" His three monsters turned fully purple, blue, and red before spiraling into the air. A red spiral portal opened up, and all three monsters sailed inside. "San tai no monsuta de… Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Ekushiizu Shoukan!" A dark purple light shot out from the portal, forming what looked like some sort of red nucleus, four black particles orbiting it.
"That atom!" Fuya cried.
"Scourage of all reaches of the cosmos… destined ruler over all life!" A dark purple cloak suddenly moved in front of the atom. The cloak moves away, showing the atom embedded in the torso of a black-garbed body with no arms. "Evil Galactic Emperor…" Two black hands covered an object on the top. The hands floated away to show a head, but not just any head: A red helmet, showing only solid pink eyes and a pink glow within its mouth. "DEAD MAX!" The glow around the eyes faded, showing piercing purple eyes. 3 Overlay Units orbited the large emperor.
Evil Galactic Emperor – Dead Max: Rank 10 DARK Fiend/Xyz ATK:4000/DEF:3300 3 Overlay Units
Robin backed up on instinct. He glared, his fist clenched. "So… you show yourself at last, Dead Max!"
"Ah… Star Robin. Such a touching union." Dead Max mused. "But I'll tell you this: Galaxy Queen is not here to save you this time!"
"This is the rehersal of the finale, Fuya!" Laurent told him. "It is here that one by one, the Robin Family will meet their ends at the hands of the Dark Emperor! Magic Card, Fall of the Robin Family, hatsudo! This Magic Card can only be activated if I control Dead Max himself and you control Star Robin! As a result of this card… all monsters you control aside from Star Robin are destroyed!"
"NANI?/NANI?" Fuya and Robin both cried at once.
"Feel how weak you are, Robin… when no one is there to help you!" Dead Max bellowed as the core on his body glowed harshly. A red ball of energy formed above him, black streaks orbiting it. "Maximum… Death… Destroyer!" The literal atom bomb exploded, sending energy beams out everywhere.
The beams rained down, Robin bracing himself. Then, it happened. "EEYAH!" Mira's voice screamed. Robin saw Mira being pierced by one of the beams.
"MIRA!" Robin cried.
"Don't give in… Robin…!" Mira groaned before her body dissipated.
"GWAAAH!" Gairuda yelled as he too was struck down.
"GAIRUDA!"
"It's over for me…" The bird groaned before vanishing.
"AAHHH!" Ironhammer moaned as his giant body toppled over from the attacks.
"IRONHAMMER!"
"Is this… how it ends…?" He groaned before exploding.
"NWAAAAAAHHHH!" Puman's voice was the last to express the pain.
"PUMAN, NO!"
Puman fell onto his back, breathing heavily. "Robin… It's up to you… Don't let… the galaxy down…" The feline's body dissipated.
Robin's whole body shook before he fell to the ground. "No… everyone…" He whimpered. For the first time he could remember… Star Robin was scared.
"Mmm hmm hmm hah hah hah hah hah hah! Do you now see, Robin? Alone, you stand no chance against me!" Dead Max boomed.
"And to seal the deal, Fall of the Robin Family grants Piercing Damage to Dead Max for the turn! You're done for, Fuya!" Laurent said maniacally.
"This is the true finale of the legend… Goodbye, Star Robin!" Dead Max boomed, his core glowing. "Dark… Death… Crash!" A copy of the atom core fired from the chest.
Robin could only look on in horror as his doom came. 'No… this can't be the end!'
"FUYA!" Mrs. Okudaira cried.
*Meanwhile*
Within the confines of the Emperor's Key, a certain female Number was patrolling the Number pillars when she heard something. "Nani?" Love wondered. It sounded like… crying. Looking at the pillars, she noted that the "83" pillar was dark. Love followed the sound of the crying until she found a crying woman with purple hair, pale skin, and an extravagant dark dress. "Nanbaazu Hachijuusan (Number 83)?" She wondered.
The woman was startled, looking up at the mage woman. "Oh… it is you." No. 83 moaned, going back to sulking.
"What is the matter?" Love asked.
No. 83 shuddered. "Do you know how we Numbers are formed?"
Love nodded. "Of course. We take forms resembling our owner's personalities and desires. Hope resembles Yuma's father, as Yuma wants to find him. I was created to be with Hope, just as Kotori wanted to be with Yuma."
No. 83 nodded. "I was not created out of vice… Fuya was once practically trapped in his Robin alter ego… Receiving no love from his mother. Fuya wanted that love so bad… so I took the form of Galaxy Queen… Robin's mother. I was made to give Robin the love he needed and deserved… but I made him hurt people. I didn't want that to happen… I'm such a horrible excuse for a replacement mother." Love had a sympathetic look on her face. "I want Fuya to forgive me… for being so bad to him."
Then, Love had an idea. "Maybe there is a way." No. 83 looked at her. Love whispered something in her ear.
"Do you really think that would work…?" No. 83 asked.
"It's worth a shot." Love replied. No. 83 gathered part of her energy in front of her, into a purple-and-white sphere. Her dress turned white as she focused.
"Fuya…" She breathed. "I can sense that he is in trouble… This is my apology and aid to you!" She moved her arms up, and the orb sailed into the sky, out of the Emperor's Key.
*Back At The Duel*
Fuya felt like it was over. 'I failed…' He thought. Then, the white-and-purple orb entered the studio, splitting into three pieces. Fuya and everyone else noticed. "Huh?" One of the pieces struck his facedown, another coated the top card of his Deck, and the last one entered his Extra Deck holder. "What is this?"
'Fuya…' A voice spoke to him. Fuya saw a green "83" flash in a dark area.
'You… You're that Number!' Fuya realized. 'Why are you-'
'Please… let me explain.' No. 83 told him. 'The energy that coats your cards… it is my power… my apology for manipulating you. Quickly, Fuya. Activate your new facedown!'
'NEW facedown?' Then, information entered Fuya's mind. 'This card…' He smiled. 'Arigatou, Galaxy Queen!' "Continuous Trap, Mother's Protection, hatsudo!" His facedown lost the glow and flipped up.
"NANI?" Laurent cried. The Tri-Star Trions in Fuya's Graveyard emerged and turned fully yellow, spiraling into the air. A black-hole-seeming portal opened into the sky, and all three Trions entered.
"Ekushiizu Shoukan!" Fuya cried. A white beacon shot down, covering Star Robin from view. The core blast impacted the beacon, but dissipated soon after.
"Nandare?" Dead Max boomed. Then, the white beacon faded away, revealing the still-trembling Robin, but someone else with him.
"Robin…" A voice said. "Robin!" Robin opened his eyes slowly.
"I'm… alive?" The hero wondered.
"Robin…" The voice said again. Robin turned around, coming face-to-face with a purple-haired woman who wore a graceful white dress, holding a scepter. Three yellow Overlay Units orbited her.
"K… Kaa-chan?" Robin breathed.
"What is this tripe?" Laurent yelled.
"It is my new Trap Card, Mother's Protection!" Fuya told him. "If I control Star Robin, I can utilize three monsters in my Graveyard to Xyz Summon, in my Spell and Trap Card Zone, Robin's closest ally. His mother and the true ruler of the universe. Cosmic Mistress… Galaxy Queen!"
Cosmic Mistress – Galaxy Queen: Rank 1 LIGHT Spellcaster/Xyz ATK:500/DEF:500 3 Overlay Units
"And by this card's effect, while I still control Galaxy Queen, Star Robin cannot be destroyed, and I receive no Battle Damage from battles involving him!"
"Meddling wench!" Dead Max bellowed. "You can't learn to stay in your place!"
"This IS my place, you fiend." Galaxy Queen replied. "I will keep my son safe from your darkness… as he destroys you and restores peace to the galaxy!"
Laurent had tic marks on his head. "I REFUSE to be beaten by some galactic brat! Magic Card, Dark Health of Dead Max, activate! This increases my Life points by 100 for each Level or Rank of monster I have on my field!" Black sparkles rained down on Laurent.
Laurent LP:2900
"You stand no chance of defeating me, Fuya! Turn end!"
Fuya placed his hand on his Deck. "Don't be too sure. With this second wind of Galaxy Queen's power... I WILL win! Boku no turn… DRAW!" Fuya drew his card, the one coated by energy. He flipped it over. 'Arigatou, Galaxy Queen.' "Magic Card… Robin Family Reborn!, hatsudo! By reducing my Life Points to 100 while I control Star Robin and Galaxy Queen… I can restore his comrades to life!"
"SHIMATA!" Laurent cried.
Fuya LP:100
Galaxy Queen spun her staff, gathering energy. "By the power of the stars… I give thee new life!" Purple sparkles rained across the field. One by one, Puman, Gairuda, Ironhammer, and Mira's bodies reformed.
"Whoa, we're back?" Gairuda wondered.
"That was a short trip!" Mira chirped.
"Comrades!" Robin said, getting their attention. "Kaa-chan has given us a second chance at defeating Dead Max! Let us use it to our full potential!"
"Aye aye, Robin!" Ironhammer said.
"We will not let Galaxy Queen or anyone down!" Puman said.
"The end of evil is at hand!" Galaxy Queen said, raising her scepter. "For everyone in the galaxy!"
"FOR EVERYONE IN THE GALAXY!" Robin, Puman, Gairuda, Ironhammer, and Mira parroted.
"Magic Card, Galaxy Queen's Light, activate! This makes all of my non-Xyz Monsters' Levels equal to that of either Robin, Gairuda, Puman, or Ironhammer! I select Robin, making Puman, Ironhammer, and Gairuda Level 10!"
Puman: Lv.10
Gairuda: Lv.10
Ironhammer: Lv.10
"Boku wa Reberu Juu no Robin Family de, OBAREI!" The three monsters turned fully yellow, green, and orange before spiraling into the air. A black-hole-type portal opened up, and all three monsters sailed inside. "San tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Ekushiizu Shoukan!" A burst of light occurred, and a mechanical monster began unfolding: First legs, then arms, then wings. "Arawareyo, Cho Jigen Robo (Super Dimensional Robo)!" The head then formed, and the monster stood tall with three yellow Overlay Units. "Galaxy Destroyer!"
Super Dimensional Robo – Galaxy Destroyer: Rank 10 LIGHT Machine/Xyz ATK:5000/DEF:2000 3 Overlay Units
"Bakana! Galaxy Destroyer… has been completed?" Dead Max cried.
"And it is prepared to bring an end to your tyranny, Dead Max! Galaxy Destroyer no kouka hatsudo! By using an Overlay Unit, all Magic and Trap Cards on the field are destroyed!" Galaxy Destroyed absorbed one of its Overlay Units into its head. "Galaxy Break!" Lasers fired from both of its eyes, destroying all Magic and Trap Cards on the field.
"NO!" Laurent cried.
"Galaxy Destroyer, attack Dead Max!" Fuya declared. The robot then charged forward, fists outstretched and cloaked in light energy. Destroyer punched right into Dead Max's core, flooding him with harmful energy.
"CURSEEEEEEESSSSS!" Dead Max groaned as his body was vaporized.
Laurent LP:1900
"Super Star Mira, attack Laurent directly!"
"Take this, you bad man!" Mira gathered energy into her staff before firing a beam made of stars, which impacted him.
Laurent LP:800
"Galaxy Queen, you too!"
"Feel the wrath of the galaxy!" The queen said as she fired a beam of dark purple energy.
Laurent LP:300
"Now… for the finishing blow! Star Robin… END THIS!"
Robin leapt into the air, brandishing his whip. "Time for… the grand feast of justice!" He twirled his whip, charging it with energy. "Star… Splitting… SWIPE!" Robin unleashed a single powerful lash with his whip, right across Laurent.
"WAAAAAAAAHHHH!" The producer yelled as he was sent flying, landing on his back.
Fuya LP:100
Laurent LP:0 – LOSER
"YATTA!" Robin, Galaxy Queen, Mira, and the voices of Puman, Gairuda, and Ironhammer could be heard saying as the buzzer sounded, Fuya's face appearing with the word WIN.
Fuya let out a deep breath as the Augmented Reality vanished, and held his fist into the air. "Star Robin is victorious again!" He heard Galaxy Queen chuckle in his mind. 'Thank you for your help, Galaxy Queen.'
'It was my pleasure, Fuya.' No. 83 said. 'Now both your forms have the mother they need… you AND Robin.' Her voice faded.
Mrs. Okudaira hugged her son, and Fuya returned the hug. "Way to go, Fuya!" She told him.
Laurent slowly got to his feet, grumbling. "Impossible… how could I lose with Dead Max on my side…?"
Then, he was grabbed by two security officers. "All right buddy, let's go!"
"Hey! Get your hands off of me!" Laurent yelled, making Fuya and his mother look at him.
"No one cheats against Fuya-san." One of them said.
"Cheats? What do you mean?" Fuya said.
"I was recording the whole Duel." A cameraman said. He put the footage on an AR system. "Take a look." A shot focused on Laurent drawing during a turn, catching him drawing the extra card.
'Busted!' Laurent thought.
Then, someone else walked in: The head of the studio. "Laurent Perrier, you are fired!"
"FIRED? On what grounds?" The producer shrieked.
"These!" The studio head said, holding up a notepad. On it were words in Laurent's handwriting: 'Finish Star Robin quickly. Be credited in making of the show. Receive millions. Fire Fuya Okudaira.'
Fuya swiped the notepad, and quickly glared at Laurent. "You bastard! So this was your plan!"
Laurent just turned his head away from them with a huff. "I'll see to it that you never work in entertainment again." The studio head said. "Now out with you!"
Laurent glared at Fuya and the studio head as he was pulled out. "YOU WILL REGRET THIS!" He screamed before he was out of earshot.
The studio head sighed. "I am so sorry about him, Fuya. I didn't realize he was up to something like this."
Fuya held up a hand. "It's all right. Besides, that Duel gave me the best idea for the Season 2 finale!"
"Uh, Fuya-san?" A cameraman said, getting his attention. "If it's of any worth mentioning… since I was filming the whole Duel, maybe we could use some of the footage in the finale!"
Fuya grinned. "That's perfect!" He turned to the others. "All right, everyone! Let's get to work for what we need in the finale! This is gonna be big!"
"You got it, Fuya-san!" Various people said.
*One Week Later* *In the Episode*
The vile Dead Max was brought to his knees by the powerful attacks of Galaxy Destroyer, Super Star Mira, and the newly-joined Galaxy Queen. "This… can't be…"
"Now, Robin!" Galaxy Queen ushered.
"Right, Kaa-chan!" Robin replied, leaping into the air. "Time for… the grand feast of justice!" He brandished his whip and twirled it around to gather energy. "Star… Splitting… SWIPE!" The whip lashed across Dead Max's core, causing him to explode.
"CURSEEEEEEESSSSS!" Dead Max cried as his body faded into nothingness.
"YATTA!" Everyone cried.
*Time-Skip In Episode*
"Robin… everyone… we can't thank you enough for everything you're done!" The Trion leader said. Various other tribes from the galaxy were around, congratulating the efforts of Robin, Puman, Gairuda, Ironhammer, Mira, and Galaxy Queen.
"Your thanks are all the reward we need." Robin told them. "Wherever evil may lurk… we will find it and destroy it!" Robin looked out into the open cosmos. "And something tells me that evil lurks in those galaxies… and the denizens are waiting for a hero."
"So you will go, Robin? To other galaxies?" Galaxy Queen asked him. Robin nodded, and she smiled. "Very well. If anyone can protect them, it is you."
"Count me in, Robin!" Mira chirped.
"I'm going too!" Gairuda said.
"Don't forget me!" Ironhammer added.
"You're not getting rid of us that easy." Puman told him.
Robin nodded at all of them. "Thank you. I am glad to have you on my side. But now the question remains..." He looked at the camera with a wink, addressing the viewers. "Are you up for it?"
