Yo! Sorry It's been a year since I started this. I took a long break from fanfiction because I basically lost interest in this. I recently read a couple of decent Yu-Gi-Oh! Stories, however, and I was inspired to continue on with this. I realize so far this is looking a lot similar to ZeXal. I apologize for that, and thought I have to finish this arc with the current story plot, I promise I am not going to present a replica of any of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Arcs. With that, I present Chapter 4.
6:30 PM
Skyshine Park
Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh NGEN…Yuno and Mason have set their differences aside to face Avaelon, who has revealed that he is the one that had been conducting all of the attacks on Yuno and his friends. As Yuno and Mason prepare for a 2-against-1 facing Avaelon, it seems there are some tricks up his sleeve…
"DUEL!"
Yuno/Mason: 8000 LP
Avaelon: 8000 LP
"Since I am fighting against the two of you, I'll take the first turn. Atai no turn! Draw!" Avaelon drew his first card of the duel. "I'll set 1 monster and 2 cards face-down. Turn end." "That's surprisingly lackluster for an emissary of Nyxos World." Mason commented dryly, having been informed by Yuno previously, before drawing his card. "My turn, I draw!" Mason confidently drew a card. "I summon Chained Knight in Attack Mode!" Mason's familiar knight, wrapped in the steel chains, appeared on the field.
Chained Knight – Level: 4 EARTH Warrior/Effect ATK: 1750
"When my Knight is called to battle, it boosts all of my monsters' ATK and DEF by 100." Chained Knight shot his rapier upward, and the dark blue links wrapped around him, making him stronger.
Chained Knight – ATK: 1850
"Then, I activate Chained Statue's effect from my hand! When I have another Chained monster on the field, it can Special Summon itself!" A stone statue of a soldier pointing his sword outwards appeared on the field. As soon as it appeared, it was wreathed in green chains.
Chained Statue – Level: 4 EARTH Rock/Effect DEF: 0
"With the Level 4 Chained Knight and the Level 4 Chained Statue, I build the Overlay Network!" Mason shouted, throwing his duel disk arm up to the sky as the two monsters blazed into the Network in a flash of orange light. "Chained spirit of the heavens! Come down to the terrain and reveal your majesty! Arewareyo, Chained Angel!" As Mason finished chanting, A portal opened from the night sky, filled with white, holy light. A humanoid consisting of the same energy descended onto the battlefield. The light began to disintegrate away, revealing the person. Six angelic wings were spread apart on his back. The angel had a passive look on his handsome face, with blue eyes, and long white hair extending down to the waist. He had on a white cloak of sorts that covered his slim body. As the angel made contact with the ground, yellow chains suddenly wrapped around his body, and became a set of silver armor. A bow formed out of the light, and the angel grabbed it and pointed it at Avaelon, arrow nocked.
Chained Angel – Rank: 4 LIGHT Fairy/Xyz/Effect ATK: 2400 ORU: 2
"Chained Angel no kouka hatsudo!" Mason yelled. "When my angel descends to the field, I can select two cards to deliver divine justice to on the field. I select your two facedowns!" The angel shot two beams of light from his bow, which promptly pierced through the cards and shattered them. "Battle! Chained Angel, attack his monster!" The angel nocked another arrow and aimed for the face-down card. "Chained Angel no kouka hatsudo! By detaching an Overlay Unit, he deals double piercing damage for this battle! Go, Wrath of the Heavens!"
Chained Angel – ORU: 1
The angel fired, and the beam of light grew twice as big. An explosion ensued as the arrow touched the card.
When the smoke cleared, Avaelon's monster had flipped face up to reveal that a strange warrior with blue-aquamarine colored armor, with designs similar to the Mermail and Atlantean archetypes, was holding off the arrow with his big silver shield.
Aquos Shieldbearer – Level: 3 WATER Warrior/Effect DEF: 1000
"Aquos Shieldbearer no kouka hatsudo." Avaelon stated. "My defender cannot be destroyed by battle up to twice per turn." "But you'll still take the damage!" Mason triumphantly yelled as the arrow of light overpowered the Shieldbearer, forcing him to fall to the ground. The light collided with Avaelon, though he remained unscathed.
Avaelon: 8000 – 2800 = 5200 LP
"Hmmph. I'll end my turn with two facedowns." Mason declared as his card appeared on the field. "Atai no turn. Draw!" Avaelon drew his second card of the duel. "I activate Aquos Relic – Tome of Reincarnation's effect!" "Nani? But you have no Spells or Traps on the field!" Yuno said, confused. "Tome of Reincarnation lets me banish it from the Graveyard, and sacrifice one of my lesser WATER monsters for a stronger one." A picture of a blue-covered spellbook with a sapphire embedded in the middle of it appeared, and began to glow green. Aquos Shieldbearer began to glow green as well, and the green energy was shaped into a different being.
As the energy cleared, a taller figure could be seen. He had long, blond hair down to his waist, and deep aquamarine eyes, as well as bold facial features. He had a blue-green robe underneath his turquoise armor, which was styled in the same way as Aquos Shieldbearer, albeit more elegant. His head was mostly covered by a similarly styled helm with a blue gem as a centerpiece. A metallic blue staff appeared in front of the man, and he grabbed it, swinging it towards their enemies with a yell. "Rise to my call, Neptune Magician!" Avaelon declared.
Neptune Magician – Level: 8 WATER Spellcaster/Effect ATK: 2600
"I activate Aquos Relic – Crystal Necklace from my Graveyard!" Avaelon shouted. "By banishing it from my Graveyard, I can Special Summon a WATER monster from my hand, Deck, or Graveyard that has the same level as a monster I have on the field!" A blue, pulsating crystal wrapped by a leather cord to create a necklace appeared on the field. It became completely blue before forming into another figure, not humanoid this time. The energy faded away, leaving a huge wyvern on the field. Its scales were a shimmering turquoise, but also seemed purple at different angles. Its eyes were a vibrant sapphire color, and its wings, when unfurled, were a myriad of colors ranging from the cooler end of the color spectrum. Two silver horns protruded majestically from its head. "Dragon of vibrant blue! Rise to the world and lay waste to those who oppose you! Come, Amethyst-Eyes Aquos Dragon!" The dragon roared loudly.
Amethyst-Eyes Aquos Dragon – Level: 8 WATER Dragon/Effect ATK: 2900
"Amethyst-Eyes no kouka hatsudo! Once per turn, by paying 1000 LP, I can have all of my opponents' monsters change to Attack Position, and all monsters in Attack Position after the activation of the effect have their ATKs changed to 0! Go, Gale Storm Blast!" The blue dragon shot a ray of blue light that hit Chained Angel and caused it to become grey and lose its color, and it took a knee.
Chained Angel – ATK: 0
Avaelon: 5200 – 1000 = 4200 LP
"Go, my monsters! Attack Mason!" Avaelon pointed at the Chained user. "Trap, hatsudo! Chained Providence! My Chained monsters cannot be destroyed by battle this turn, and all damage is halved!" Mason declared. Amethyst-Eyes charged a ball of blue-green energy in its mouth and blasted it at Chained Angel. Neptune Magician did the same, firing a beam of blue energy from his staff. However, a barrier of glowing white chains formed in front of Chained Angel, blocking the attacks. Mason shielded himself from the damage.
Yuno/Mason: 8000 – 2750 = 5250 LP
"Well done. I'll set a facedown and end my turn." Avaelon declared. "Yes! Ore no turn, draw!" Yuno drew his first card with a grin. "Spell Card, Frost-Flash Fusion, hatsudo! I send Morning Glacé and 2 Ice Knights to the Graveyard!" Yuno inserted the cards into his Graveyard. "Spirits of the lands of frost! Become one now and strike down the ones who oppose you without mercy! Yūgo Shoukan! Arewareyo, Stygian Ice Fusion Knight!" Yuno clapped his hands together to Fusion Summon. The pictures of the two Ice Knights and a girl with white hair, pale blue eyes, and clothed in a dress resembling sheets of patterned ice and diamonds, all swirled together to form a giant clad in blue armor constructed of ice. His face was not visible under his helm, but two purple eyes could be seen. The knight grabbed his blade, also made of ice, and stabbed it into the ground with a yell.
Stygian Ice Fusion Knight – Level: 10 WATER Warrior/Fusion/Effect ATK: 1000
"A Fusion Summon for a monster with 1000 ATK? That card must have a good effect." Avaelon curtly stated. "Right you are! My knight gains ATK and DEF equal to the ATK and DEF values of the monsters used to summon it! Stygian Ice Fusion Knight took on a purple glow as his ATK and DEF increased substantially.
Stygian Ice Fusion Knight – ATK: 3500 (DEF: 3500)
"Battle! Stygian Ice Fusion Knight attacks Amethyst-Eyes Aquos Dragon! Frost End Slash!" The mighty knight lunged forward, sword drawn, prepared to cut down the dragon. However, Avaelon had different ideas. "Trap, hatsudo! Aquos Relic – Sword of Unity!" A long, one-sided, indigo blade appeared in front of Avaelon's field. "This allows me to Fusion Summon a monster during either of our turns, using monsters on the field! I fuse Neptune Magician and Amethyst-Eyes Aquos Dragon! The great mage and the ruthless dragon will become one! Show your might and eradicate those who stand before us! Arewareyo, Blue Gaze Paladin!"
The blade glowed a bright blue, absorbing the essences of Neptune Magician and Amethyst-Eyes Aquos Dragon. It then formed into a humanoid figure. As the energy faded away, a new creature was revealed. His armor was similar to the scale-armor of Amethyst-Eyes, only this time being completely blue, with a silver glow. A single amethyst was set into his chestplate, and from his back furled dragon wings similar to Amethyst-Eyes's, albeit wider and grander. The man had long, white hair, and a helm shaped similar to the head of Amethyst-Eyes was covering the majority of face. However, it could be seen that the man had light purple skin and long black markings resembling scars down from the lower half of his eyes. A staff appeared, though it had a large blade attached to one end of it, which covered a green gem. The staff itself was silver, and the man grabbed the long staff, swinging it around expertly with a yell.
Blue Gaze Paladin – Level: 8 LIGHT Warrior/Fusion/Effect ATK: 2700
Yuno narrowed his eyes. "I can feel a powerful aura from that monster. It seems there is more to it than its ATK points." He stated. "Correct. My paladin's aura is so powerful that it simply is not able to be destroyed by battle." Avaelon replied. Fusion Knight brought its sword down on Blue Gaze Paladin, but the Paladin stopped the attack with a mere glance of his green eyes, freezing the Knight in place. "Then, he can destroy the monster that attacked him, and my opponent takes damage equal to twice the battle damage I would have taken. Go, Blue Gaze Paladin! Fierce Judgement!" The Paladin swung his staff around, then shot a ball of concentrated blue energy at point-range of Fusion Knight, which promptly shattered him into ice particles. Yuno and Mason withstood the shockwaves from the attack.
Yuno/Mason: 5250 – 1600 = 3650
"Kuso. We're at a disadvantage now." Mason cursed. "Fusion Knight no kouka hatsudo!" Yuno declared. "When it is destroyed, I can Special Summon the materials used to Summon it!" Morning Glacé and the two Ice Knights appeared on the field.
Morning Glacé – Level: 2 WATER Fairy/Tuner/Effect DEF: 500
Ice Knight – Level: 3 WATER Warrior/Effect ATK: 1000
Ice Knight – Level: 3 WATER Warrior/Effect ATK: 1000
"As required, both Ice Knights gain a Frost Counter on their summon." Both warriors gained a slightly colder aura.
Ice Knight – 1 Frost Counter
Ice Knight – 1 Frost Counter
"I activate the effect of Morning Glacé!" Yuno declared as the fairy began to glow white. "It can be used to perform a Synchro Summon during either of our turns!" The green Synchro rings appeared as Morning Glacé and the two Ice Knights lined up, soaring inside them and becoming one figure. "The legacy of the ice-wielders is carried on! Continue the hopes and goals of the noble people and rise as a symbol of justice! Level 8! Shinkuro Shoukan!" Yuno chanted. "Arewareyo, Kryonia, the Stygian Ice Dragon!"
A white-and-blue dragon appeared from the Synchro rings. It had plates of dark ice covering most of its body, and two yellow eyes could be distinguished from the ice-armor covering its head. Its wings were blue, with icicles growing on their bottom, and had silver talons and claws. A red gem was embedded in its forehead, and the dragon boasted a long tail, the end barbed with sharp ice shaped into a blade. The dragon roared, and the shock of the sound waves pushed Avaelon back a few steps.
Kryonia, the Stygian Ice Dragon – Level: 8 WATER Dragon/Synchro/Effect ATK: 2800
"Kryonia activates its effect! When it is Summoned, all monsters my opponent controls have their effects negated until the End Phase of this turn, and their ATK becomes halved! Primal Frost Age!" Kryonia roared loudly, and from its body radiated blue waves of pure cold. As they hit Blue Gaze Paladin, it turned gray and kneeled, using its staff to support itself.
Blue Gaze Paladin – ATK: 1350
"Continue the Battle! Kryonia attacks Blue Gaze Paladin! Frostbite Shock!" Kryonia charged up a sky-blue blast of ice in its mouth and shot it at Blue Gaze Paladin. It shattered into particles on being hit. Avaelon calmly raised his hand. "Aquos Sword – Relic of Unity no kouka! When an Extra Deck monster I control is destroyed by battle, I take no damage from the battle, and I am allowed to summon one of the Materials used for its Summon to the field. Rise again, Amethyst-Eyes Aquos Dragon!" Yuno calmly ended the Battle Phase. "I set a card and end my turn."
"Atai no turn! Draw! As Avaelon drew his card, he smirked slightly, but sinisterly. "Yuno Fujisaki…Your skills were not exaggerated, as neither your friend, Mason. But this is the end for you." He said.
Whew, that took a long time to resolve. I suppose it is the major turning point/duel, so it does deserve some attention. Sorry for the cliffhanger, just my way of asking you guys to be patient and wait for more! I've decided that Pendulum Cards will make an eventual appearance in the storyline, though probably not in the recent arc. I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Please remember to comment and like my story below. I am open to any criticism or comment you may have about the story. That's all for now!
