Chapter 17: You Will All Become One With Me
Hello everybody, things are about to get interesting. All 4 boys are about to meet, and there will be genuine angst and sadness. BTW, when Yuri appears in this, I suggest to play "Those Chosen By The Planet," for maximum drama. I hope you enjoy:)
(Synchro Dimension City)
As the Obelisk Force group analyzes the direction the location the tracker is taking them, they manage to find a way into the Underground undetected. Proceeding with the plan, they dropped several smoke bombs in specific areas in the facility, as well as taking out several guards. Suddenly, alarm sirens blared within the facility, and several squads of officers came to subdue the chaos, creating even more chaos with the laborers. However, this led to unforeseen consequences, for as a stout man ducked beneath the swinging arm of one of the abandoned workers, he saw the form of the Obelisk Force right in the shadow moving to another.
Turning to Sawatari and Chojiro, Gongenzaka spoke, "Academia is here."
Shingo eyes widened, "You don't think…"
"Yuzu, she must be here, why else would they be down here. We have to save her."
"I will help as well." The 2 turned to Chojiro. "If these people are really after an innocent child, then I won't just stand by and do nothing."
With that, the 3 found their way through the violence and found Kurosaki, who had also seen the Obelisk Force, was now beating up hordes of security guards that had gotten in his way. In his defense, he had tried to explain, but they had instigated the fight by trying to beat him with sticks. Turning to see his comrades, Kurosaki grinned, "Nice to see you guys. Mind helping me out here, we can't let the Obelisk Force get away!" Together, they managed to plow through the guards and chased after the Obelisk Force.
Elsewhere in the Underground, Shinji grinned at the chaos around him, and took out a walkie talkie he had snuck in to communicate with his comrades. "We can use this to our advantage, have the other rebels clear a path for me to get to the control room." Once that was done, Shinji sprinted into the room and made an announcement. "Attention all workers willing to follow me, the revolution is about to begin, make your way to the conveyer belts!"
However, Gallagher and the Arrest Corps got there 1st, "If you think I will allow escape, you are all wrong." However, Gallagher was tricked when Shinji then activated the conveyer belt, causing them all to fall off and drop their weapons, which many Commoners quickly grabbed.
"Shinji, we managed to grab our duel disks. We're ready to go." Damon said as he ran into the control room.
Turning around, Shinji grinned, "Then it's time for the revolution to begin."
As chaos ran amuck within the facility, Yuzu struggled to her feet as she attempted to dodge incoming rebels here and there while she looked at her bracelet. When it glowed, she swore she could hear Yuya scream in pain, and it made her fear for him intensify. Sora and Tsukikage had told her Yuya had been taken by Security, so what was happening to him right now. Was he being tortured as she stood?
"Well, well, well. It seems we've finally found you…Hiragi Yuzu." Yuzu turned around to find 6 Obelisk Force duelists staring her down. One of them grinned at her staggering and injured form. "She's too weak to even duel, makes things even easier."
"Stay away from Yuzu right now!" The soldiers turned to find Gongenzaka racing towards them, with Kurosaki right behind him.
"Ugh, Lancers. Group up men, we can defeat them together." The leader stated.
"What about Hiragi Yuzu?" One of his allies questioned.
"Please, I'd be surprised if she could even walk let alone run away in that condition." With that the Obelisk Force armed their Duel Disks and prepared for battle.
Shun scoffed, "We've ripped through you dogs like paper before and we'll do it again."
As the battle began, Yuzu gripped the wall and slowly tried to make her way out of there. She was past the condition to help, her burns and injuries making her feel like a piece of lead. Staring at her bracelet, she asked, "Yuya where are you?"
He in fact was riding his motor bike at high speeds, which was hard since the route he took to get to the source of the flare was riddled with sharp turns and pot holes, but he somehow managed. "Come on, where is it, I know it's around here somewhere." He heard a large boom to his right, and went in that direction.
Reira panted as the trio of Obelisk Force duelists vanished, teleported back to their dimension. This must have been the 3rd squad the child had defeated, and was beginning to feel the strain. "They just keep coming…" Reira said as a new trio came to take Serena, "They don't stop…they won't stop." Flashes came before Reira's eyes, and suddenly, the child was hiding from soldiers, watching as they murdered everyone while Reira hid away. The child could feel the violence, ferocity, and hate swirling everywhere, just like the Obelisk Force right now. "No…No…STAY AWAY!" Reira yelled as the kid gripped their head.
Suddenly, something busted from one of the dilapidated windows, and Serena and Reira gasped as Yuya came in on his D-Wheel, putting himself right between them and the Obelisk Force. "Serena, Reira, leave this to me I'll take care of them." Yuya summoned his Odd-Eyes, Dark Rebellion, and Enlightenment Paladin to defeat all 3 of them, sighing in relief as they faded back to their dimension. "We're safe."
"Is that so?" Yuya turned to see a large and stocky man with an eyepatch come in with 3 Obelisk Force members. "The 1st thing about being a soldier on the battlefield is never to assume victory or defeat until it is truly over. Perhaps you need to learn that lesson."
"Barrett…it's been a while." Serena stated.
"It has been a while…I only wish we were fighting on the same side." Barrett noted solemnly before staring at Serena's weakened form. "What happened to you, did you get hurt?"
"You can thank Roger and his Security agents, they sprayed me with something and now I can't move." Serena said as she attempted to get up with little success.
"Remind me to pound Roger into the pavement for that." Barrett stated to one of the duelists behind you. "As for you Serena, why did you abandon us, it was your dream for years to fight on the front lines."
"Yeah, even if I wanted it's not like the Professor would ever agree to send me." Serena spat at him.
"I know that it was unfair for you not to be included, especially after all the training you did. I always knew you were worthy, come with me right now and we can prove it to the Professor." Barrett stated calmly.
"You think that's what matters, now, you think I haven't heard what Academia's actually done." Serena angrily yelled at her old mentor. "Is it true, that Academia carded everyone, including those that weren't duelists, that they treated it as some sort of sick game?" When Barrett gave her no answer, she continued, "That wasn't what I fought for, and that wasn't something you told me you fought for. You always said that a true soldier only fought to accomplish a truly noble and good goal, but never took enjoyment even as they soaked their hands in blood." She looked near tears as she looked Barrett right in the eyes, "Of all the people I thought would follow that willingly, you were the last person I'd suspect." Barrett had been her own mentor as well as a bodyguard for her, and was the closest thing she had to an actual parent, try as she may not admit it, but it hurt her to learn the truth, as it made her question everything she even knew about him.
Barrett simply closed his eyes and sighed, "Sometimes we do the wrong things for the right reason, and so we can protect what we care about." He then looked at Yuya, "I give you this one warning, leave Serena with us, we mean her no harm. If you leave now, I promise no harm will come to you."
Yuya didn't budge, "I won't let you guys even touch my friends."
"I guess that's a no. Pity, but it looks like it will be a duel to the end. May the better duelist win."
Yuya grit his teeth as he ignited his duel disk, Barrett doing the same. "Bring it on, I won't hold back." Unfortunately, Yuya found that he probably should've thought of something else, because the next thing he knew, he was chained up by Barrett's cards, his Odd-Eyes and Dark Rebellion chained and weakened by his Beastborg Medal of the Steel Chain and Beastborg Medal of the Crimson Chain. Barrett's Beastborg Panther Predator and Wolf Kampfer stared down at him, having crippled his life points to 1600 while Barrett hadn't taken a smidge of damage.
"You may as well surrender Yuya. Only one duelist has ever managed to break free from these chains and defeat me, and while you share his face, you don't share his skills."
"No way, I won't give up. I swore that I would protect my friends and put an end to you!" Yuya roared as he struggled to free himself from the chains.
"As much as I am impressed with your spirit, I suggest you understand where you limits are." He then turned to the Obelisk Force, "I will finish him, while you 3 take Serena now."
"Yes Commander." They stated and moved forward towards Reira and Serena.
Frightened, Reira stepped back while Serena stood up, using the wall as leverage. "Don't worry Reira…I can take them."
Suddenly, a bizarre mixture of stuffed tiger and mechanical monstrosity sent them flying and Sora jumped down from a hole at the top of the station. "Few I made it." Recalling his Frightfur Tiger, Sora looked at the duel and yelled, "YUYA!"
His attempt to intervene was stopped by Yuya himself, "Forget me Sora, I'll figure a way out of this, just help Serena."
As Sora came towards Serena, she eyed the boy warily before asking, "Why are you here, last I remembered, you were with Academia." Back at Standard, when she was pretending to be Yuzu to find Kurosaki Shun, she saw Sora duel and defeat the Xyz duelist, injuring him in the process. "Don't lie and say, you didn't know what you were doing, you were having a blast dueling Shun and laughed when he got hurt."
Sora looked at the ground before turning back to her, "You're right, I was a member of Academia, and I did participate in carding others. At first, I thought it was a gallant battle, and took pleasure in defeating my enemies, but it was hollow." He then looked at Yuya before continuing, "I've learned that there are other things out there, other things I can be, and that there are people who will accept me, like Yuzu and Yuya. That's why…I'll fight for those I can truly call my friends."
"I guess that makes us enemies now, doesn't it Shiunin." Sora turned around, only to find an Ancient Gear Hound Dog pounce right on top of him, ready to bite his head off. "Hold off the kill." As Sora strained his head to look, he saw Yuri standing with the Obelisk Force. "Those being said, good sneak attack. What was your name again?" Yuri asked as he turned to the duelist on his right.
"It's Jeremiah Yuri-sama." The duelist replied.
"I'll be sure to remember that from now on." Yuri then turned to Sora, "There are 3 things I refuse to tolerate: Hypocrisy, treachery, and terrible dueling. And you've sadly fulfilled the 2nd one quite nicely. You wear that uniform, an insignia of loyalty to Academia, and wield a Fusion deck so shamelessly, as though you seek to stain who we are. And don't even get me started on…you." Yuri stated as he turned to look at Serena, his voice growing quieter yet even more sinister. His smile twisted and grew rather demented as he struggled to hold back a snarl.
'This guy looks just like me, and from the looks of it, he's definitely from the Fusion Dimension. Wait, Barrett said I resembled the duelist who had escaped his lock combo and beaten him. This must be that duelist.' Yuya thought as he stared at his Fusion self.
Serena just looked at him, as though she were trying to process who she was looking at, "Yuri…"
"Hello to you too Serena, what's it been, 5 years or so." Yuri said before chuckling, "Strange, still feels like only yesterday." He then turned to Barrett, "I'll handle things here, and I trust you can handle Yuya."
Barrett nodded before turning to Yuri's chained doppelganger, "With Yuri here, any hope you may have had of escape is practically nonexistent. You may as well surrender."
Yuya shook his head, "No way, even if I have to take you all down myself, I will protect my friends no matter what!"
"Wait…what was that?" Yuya turned as he heard Yuri's question, "I don't know if I heard you right."
"I said that I'll protect my friends even if I have to take all of you. Yuzu, Sora, Serena, everyone." Yuya repeated.
Yuri just looked at him a bit confused before turning his head towards Serena, and the nightmarish child of a sadistic grin and ferocious snarl appeared on Yuri's face as he slowly began to laugh, "ha ha ha… ha…Ha…Ha Ha Ha…AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" He grabbed his chest to keep himself under control before looking back at Serena, "Oh…that's… just…rich." He then turned to the Obelisk Force duelist. "Remove the metal dog from Shiunin Sora."
"As you say Yuri-sama." The duelist named Jeremiah called back the hound restraining Sora, letting the boy stand up.
"During my time kidnapping Rin, Ruri, and Yuzu, I gave them the option to duel me for their freedom, and since I'm a reasonable fellow, I'll give you guys the same option." Yuri then looked at Serena, "However, you're not duel ready, so the responsibility falls to Shiunin. Though just to warn you Sora, I'm only authorized to return Serena back unharmed, so you are free game." Yuri then stared at the boy and let a warp grin. "How should I end your life then? I don't feel carding you will be a suitable punishment, no, I prefer execution. Should I seal you into a card…and then rip it up? Or, perhaps I should stab you in the chest with my Duel Blade emitter. Oh…wait…I have a perfect idea. Since you love your little Frightfurs so much…why don't you join them?"
"What do you mean?" Sora asked, a bit nervous.
"I'm saying that after I beat you, I'll kill you…rip out your innards and organs…and then fill you with stuffing. Then I'll probably stick a whole lot of spikes within you and hang you like a piñata." Yuri stated, causing everyone to back away from him uneasily.
"Um, Yuri, are you okay in the head? Sure you don't have any…issues of some kind?" Sora questioned.
"I don't know. My doctor says it's a bad case of PTSD, possible schizophrenia, and a bipolar disorder. Though the voice in my head does tell me to kill everything, so there's that." Yuri joked, even though it wasn't an actual lie.
Sora gulped, "Well, it doesn't matter; I will defeat you and protect Serena."
"Then may the better duelist win." Yuri said as he armed himself with his duel disk.
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" A familiar voice yelled as a white motorbike bursted through the wall and landed vertical from Yuri. Yugo stared and him and growled, "You won't escape from me this time bastard."
"My dear little Fusion, what a pleasant surprise." Yuri stated, a smiling coming to his face. "I was hoping for us to meet again. There was no way you could resist."
"I don't know what you're talking about, now tell me where Rin is." Yugo angrily stated.
"Ah, still going on about her. Is she truly the only reason you've been following me?" Yuri asked, a bit strangely.
"Of course not, I only want to save Rin!" Yugo affirmed.
"I suppose your dragon shares your wish, is that why it teleports you after me?" Yuri asked.
"I…what do you know?!" Yugo shouted indignantly.
"Since you've been so persistent, I'll reward your determination with a duel. Don't worry…no matter the result…you will see your beloved Rin again." Yuri then turned to the Obelisk Force, "Hold the traitors down." With that, several Antique Gear Hound Dogs surrounded Sora, Reira, and Serena. "I will deal with you traitors soon. However, it's time we settled this my little Fusion-kun. Are you ready to duel?!" Yuri asked as his duel disk blade emitter went on.
"Always! I'm going to beat you into the dirt for taking Rin!" Yugo roared as the duel disk on his D-Wheel lit up.
"Then let the hunting game begin. You may start." Yuri said as he gave Yugo a bow.
Yuri LP:4000
Yugo LP:4000
"Since I control no monsters, I can special summon this monster, come forth Speedroid Terrortop!" The familiar appearance of Yugo's weaponized tops appeared on the field (ATTR: Wind/LV:3/ATK:1200/DEF:600). "Now that I have a Wind monster, I can special summon this too, appear, Speedroid Taketomborg!" A mechanical action figure appeared alongside the tops (ATTR:Wind/LV:3/ATK:600/DEF:1200). "Now I normal summon Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice!" The familiar appearance of the dice monster he used against Serena appeared as well (ATTR: Wind/LV:1/ATK:100/DEF:100).
"Now I tune my level 3 Terrortop, level 3 Taketomborg, with my level 1 Red-Eyed Dice to Synchro Summon! Spread your wondrous and beautiful wings, and strike down your enemies at the speed of light! Synchro Summon! Appear now! Level 7! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" With that, Yugo's ace monster appeared on the field, roaring for battle (ATTR:Wind/LV:7/ATK:2500/ DEF: 2000). At its awakening, it along with the chained Dark Rebellion and Odd-Eyes roared, and Yuya/Yuto and Yugo felt a deep pounding within their hearts while Yuri just laughed.
In the Underground, Yuzu clutched her wrist as her bracelet glowed, growing hot on her wrist. "Yuya…are you okay?" She then looked at the Lancers and the Obelisk Force, both sides holding their own with one another. "If only I could help."
Back at the duel, Yugo grunted as he clutched his chest, "Turn end."
"Good…now mine can begin. Draw." Yuri laughed as he drew a card. Smiling, he activated it, I activate the Continuous Spell, Predator Planter. Now once per turn I can special summon a level 4 or lower Predator Plant from my hand or graveyard with its effects negated. I'll use it to special summon Moray Nepenthes from my hand." With that, the blood tipped tropical pitcher plant appeared on the field (ATTR:Dark/LV:4/ATK:1600/DEF:1000). "Now I normal summon Predator Plants Fly Hell." A new small yet vicious Venus flytrap monster sprouted on the field. "I'll activate the Spell, Fusion, from my hand to fuse Predator Plants Fly Hell and Moray Nepenthes together. Two beautiful flowers with insect-alluring fragrance! Now become one, and from the hell beneath your petals, give birth to a new terror! Fusion Summon! Appear! Poisonous dragon with hungering fangs. Level 8! Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!" The magic of the card caused both plants to vanish within the fusion vortex, and from it, came the most vicious and ruthless of the 4 dragons (ATTR:Dark/LV:8/ATK:2800/DEF:2000)! Starve Venom roared, all 3 of its brethren following suit.
An ominous wind slowly encircled Yuri, Yugo, and Yuya/Yuto. A malicious grin came over Yuri as his body glowed with a dark aura. The same aura surrounded Yugo as he grit his teeth in pain, his eyes once again covered in an aqua glow. Yuya's eyes shined in blood red, and within him, Yuto's eyes shined blue. Yuya grit his teeth as he felt something within him clawing itself to the surface. He gave another blood curling scream as the dragons roared once more in unison.
Serena watched in horror as her bracelet glowed so badly it hurt, "What the hell is going on?"
From the Underground, Yuzu's eyes widened as her bracelet glowed even brighter, and she swore she could here Yuya scream, "Yuya…"
With his hair sticking up straight and his eyes red, Yuya spoke in a demonic voice, "AT LONG LAST…"
Suddenly his form flickered and the ghostly image of Yuto appeared in his place, "THE TIME HAS COME…"
Yugo continued in the same voice, "FOR US TO UNITE…"
Yuri finished the chant with a wicked grin, "AND REVIVE AS ONE…" The sky grey dark before it seemed to warp and fissure, as though the fabric of reality was being undone. A flash of lightning struck the ground right in front of Yuri, the smoke revealing him unharmed, though his long hair went from well-kept to shot spiky in all directions, and his glowing eyes gave him a demonic look. "IT'S FINALLY TIME…FOR US TO UNITE…AND BECOME ONE WITH ME…" With that he slowly walked towards Yuya and hissed, taking the 2000 LP penalty.
"NO…WITH ME…" Yugo chanted as he followed suit.
Yuya/Yuto snarled as Barrett backed away, "WRONG YOU FOOLS, YOU BOTH WILL COMPLETE ME…"
"NO…YOU WILL ALL BECOME ONE WITH ME! SPELL CARD ACTIVATE, SUPER POLYMERIZATION! BIND THEM TO MY WILL, LET THEM ALL BECOME ONE WITH ME!" Yuri discarded a card to activate his spell, and a dark vortex like that of a black hole circled around him, attempting to absorb both his counterparts and their dragons. The black aura surrounding Yuri grew stronger and more malignant, his features becoming more warped and twisted, his hair waving like a snake while his face became gaunt and mad. The aura gathered and rose up, terrifying everyone there as it took the form of a black dragon with yellow eyes, before thousands seemed to rise from Yuri as well, wrapping itself around the vast shadow dragon as it struggled to break free. It was forced back inside Yuri's body, as though Yuri was digesting it, and he continued to chant. ONE WITH ME…ONE WITH ME…YOU WILL ALL BECOME ONE WITH ME!" His chanting grew louder as the same black tendril grew from his aura and wrapped themselves around Yugo and Yuya/Yuto, both attempting to fight back.
Serena's face went as pale as a ghost as the light of her bracelet shined higher, and suddenly, she saw thousands of roots and vines curled around Yuri's body, glowing bright as they began to grow even larger. As Yuri slowly lowered his head, he gave her a bloodthirsty grin. "Yuri…wake up…"
Yuzu's eyes widened as he bracelet's shin grew, and she saw the images of Yuya, Yuto and Yugo being dragged by cursed roots into the darkness, while Yuri's silhouette glowed in a demonic. "No, Yugo…Yuto…Yuya! LEAVE THEM ALONE!" Suddenly, her bracelet glowed so bright, its light engulfed Yuzu's image, and in an instant, she was gone.
Turning around, one of the Obelisk Force cursed in confusion, "WHERE THE HELL DID SHE GO!"
"NOW! RAIDRAPTORS RISE FALCON, ATTACK! BRAVE CLAW REVOLUTION!" Shun roared as his mechanical falcon wreathed itself in flames before cutting through the Belisk Forces defenses, ending the duel.
As they vanished, Sawatari laughed, "Those guys were all bark and no bite."
Kurosaki just sighed, "They weren't and you barely did anything."
"Enough, we have to find Yuzu. Where did she teleport off to?" Gongenzaka and Chojiro stated.
"Follow me." The 4 men turned to see Tsukikage. "I know the way out of here. We have to go help out our comrades above." With that, the 5 men hustled to reach the surface.
The dark wind formed around Yuri and grew faster and stronger and Yuri lifted his head and cackled to the twisting sky, "YOU WILL ALL BECOME ONE WITH ME! AH HAHAHA… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"NOOO!" Serena yelled as she mustered the strength to throw herself at Yuri, wrapping her arms around him. "PLEASE…SNAP OUT OF IT!"
The light of her bracelet interfered with his concentration, causing the black tendrils to dissipate. "RELEASE ME NOW!" Yuri roared with hate. Suddenly his eyes widened as a pink flashed filled the area, and suddenly, Yuzu appeared behind Barrett. As her bracelet glowed, Yuri roared, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" With that, he, Serena, and Yugo were all picked up by the bracelet and teleported away. The power of the energy coming from the bracelet caused Yuya to be sent flying, hitting the ceiling before landing on the ground hard.
"YUYA!" Yuzu screamed as she attempted to make her way to her childhood friend, but the effects from her bracelet left her even more drained in his weakened condition.
Yuya groaned as he slowly picked himself up and scanned the room. There was Barrett, Sora, Reira, but Serena, Yuri, and Yugo had mysteriously disappeared. His eyes widened as he saw who else was in the room, "YUZU!" He was overjoyed, injured as she was, she was here right now, still standing. Before he could get to her, Barrett blocked his path. "Get out of my way!" Yuya yelled.
"Not until you tell me what that was all about." Barret countered, his stoic expression hiding the horror he had felt by what he just witnessed.
"I…don't even know what you're talking about." Yuya stated, feeling both puzzled and nauseous.
Turning to one of the Obelisk Force, Barrett spoke. "See if you can contact Yuri…see if he is alright." He then looked straight at Yuya before continuing, "I say this only once more, your moves are sealed and you are wounded, do you still seek to continue."
Yuya nodded, "I won't let you guys take Yuzu. Even now, I will continue to fight."
Barrett smiled, "Good, I like a warrior that doesn't quit, then let us finish the duel."
Suddenly, the wall behind them bursted. Yuzu turned and gasped at the cloak figure responsible for injuring her in the first place, "Aki."
Back in another alley way on the opposite end of the City, Serena opened her eyes and groaned, "Ugh, what happened." Coming to her knees, she saw Yuri standing right next to turned around, fists clenched, and shaking violently. "Yuri…" Serena extended a hand fearfully, wondering if he was still in that demonic state.
Yuri slowly turned around, his eyes bulging and a smile creaking on his face. "Why…just why… must there always be…interrruptions." A coarse snarl erupted fr4om Yuri as he smacked Serena in the face with so much force it kncked the wind out of her and she fell unconscious. He then kneeled and activated his duel disk blade emitter, preparing to stab Serena when at the very last moment…
"YURI-SAMA! YURI-SAMA! ARE YOU OKAY! YURI-SAMA!" One of the Obelisk Force duelists shouted as the communications app kicked in.
"What…is…it." Yuri stated in a dark whisper.
"Yuri-sama, you're not looking like a scary demon anymore! Well, that frown on your face is kind of unsettling." The duelist noted.
Improvising, Yuri gave a convincing confused look, "What are you talking about? Did I go too far in one of my dramatic speeches?"
"Wait…you don't remember…you know, glowing, a dark aura, the sky piercing up and you shouting about becoming one."
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Yuri responded.
"Huh, you too, Sakaki Yuya said the same thing after Barrett questioned him following you, Serena, and that other duelist disappeared when Hiragi Yuzu suddenly showed up." The Obelisk Force member replied.
Yuri sighed, "That explains a lot. Serena's with me unconscious, so what about Yuzu. What's the situation with her?"
"Well she's here…but so is someone else, not anyone we know. Hiragi Yuzu called her Aki."
Yuri's eyes widened, "Aki Izayoi, how is that possible?! Quick, one of you check the Obelisk Force that went to subdue Security at the City Council!"
"Yeah, we just realized that we actually got a message while you were having that weird freak out. Apparently she wiped out the entire battalion there single handed." The Obelisk Force member said, a bit embarrassed.
Yuri placed his hand on his forehead, "I knew that Aki was likely to be there, which is why I sent most of our forces there. Her psychic powers would let her bypass the anti-RSV, but I thought that with so many it would be easier to subdue her while holding the line. Are you seriously telling me that 50 of you…couldn't handle 1 enemy…I'd be impressed if I wasn't so annoyed right now."
As Aki stared at the opposition, her thoughts turned back to the duel…
On her field were 2 set cards and her Black Rose Blood Dragon (ATTR:Fire/LV:7/ATK:2400/ DEF:2000) with 2700 LP. All her enemies surrounded her, their monsters ranging from large too small. One of her enemies summoned a monster called Antique Gear Chaos Giant, a monstrous fusion of their hounds.
"Battle, Antique Gear Chaos Giant! Destroy her Black Rose Blood Dragon!" With that, it massive fist came down on her dragon, crushing it (Aki LP: 2700 – 2100 = 600).
Within her mask, Aki grinned. "Black Rose Blood Dragon's effect activates! When this card is destroyed and sent to the graveyards, all other cards on the field die with it! Blood Tsunami!" Aki called as a massive explosion of liquid like blood fire exploded like a bomb, consuming all other cards on the field…except her 2 set cards which she then activated. "Continuous Trap, activate! Blossom shield! This allows me to prevent the destruction of cards I control by banishing a Plant-type monster from my graveyard, So I'll banish Lord Poison and Rose Tentacles to save my set card and Blossom shield itself. Now it's time for my 2nd trap, Blossom Cataclysm! Thanks to its effects, if card(s) my opponents control and destroyed by battle or card effect by a Plant-type monster or Black Rose Blood Dragon, the controllers of those cards take 500 points of damage times the # of cards that were destroyed in total. Take this!" With that, explosions ripped through the lines of Obelisk Force, leaving their burned forms to vanish back to their home.
"Excellent work Aki." Roger praised from her com-link. "Now follow the flare that went up earlier and find its source."
Aki simply stared on as another member of the army she had defeated squawked at Barrett, "Yuri-sama says that we should leave now! He says that Aki is too dangerous."
Barrett seemed surprise, "I don't think that's really necessary…"
"Yuri-sama anticipated you'd say that, and stated that she's the one that sent Yuzu flying into a building and can probably do a lot. He says that the fact that he is the one saying this should explain the direness of our situation well enough." The Obelisk Force Member finished.
Barrett sighed, "That it does." He took a look at Hiragi Yuzu who had been caught by a plant like whip the red-haired duelist materialized out of thin air before turning back to Yuya, "Another day then." With that, he and the remnants of the Obelisk Force teleported to Yuri's location, leaving Yuya to face Aki alone.
Noe freed, Yuya turned to Aki, "If you think I'll let you take Yuzu, you're wrong. I'll defeat you as well."
Yuya LP:1600
Aki LP:2000
Continuing the duel, Aki drew a card before calling forth a monster, "Night Rose Knight, summon." A small yet chivalrous knight materialized on the field with its sword already drawn (ATTR:Dark/LV:3/ATK:1000/DEF:1000). "Night Rose Knight's special effect lets me special summon a level 4 or lower Plant-type monster from my hand. Appear, Lord Poison!" A new and rather disgusting plant appeared on the field (ATTR:Water/LV:4/ATK:1500/DEF:1000). "I now use my 2 monsters to Synchro Summon! Chilling black rose, awaken and bloom! Awaken and bring all your enemies their doom! When they're dead, use their blood, and make all land that you see flood! Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 7! Black Rose Blood Dragon!" With that, Aki's own dragon appeared and stared down Odd-Eyes and Dark Rebellion. "I activate Black Rose's effect, and banish one Plant Monster from my graveyard to reduce the ATK of a monster you have to 0, and I choose Odd-Eyes!" With that, the ghostly image of Lord Poison was devoured by the dragon, which then shot many thorny whips protruding from its body to suck the life from Odd-Eyes. "Battle, Black Rose Blood Dragon, attack Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Blood Rose Annhilation!" With that, her dragon launched a stream of flame from its mouth at Odd-Eyes.
Luckily, Yuya managed to find something from the corner of his eye and raced towards it, "Action Magic, Damage Vanish! So the damage I take becomes 0!" Yuya said as a wall formed around him to protect him from the smoking remains of his monster.
"I set 2 cards, and equip my dragon with Blood Thorn. Turn End." Aki stated.
"No matter what, I won't lose. I'll make you pay for what you did to Yuzu! Draw!" Yuya cried as he drew a new card.
"W-Wait…Yuya." Yuya looked at Yuzu, who was struggling within Aki's grip. "Don't let yourself be taken by that darkness, I'm worried it'll break you."
Yuya stared at her before turning to his cards. There was Magical Thunder in his hand, playing it would let him destroy a card on the field at the cost of a spell in his hand, but the only other card in his hand, was Smile World. His father's card, which he used to make everyone smile, how could he throw that away? He then looked at Yuzu and thought, 'Well, if I can make her happy then…' Yuya straightened up, "I'll send Smile World from my hand to the graveyard to activate this form my hand, Magical Thunder! Now I can destroy one card on the field, and I choose your Blood Thorn!" Yuya chanted as the lightning materialized and destroyed Aki's equip spell. "Now I'll use my set Pendulum Scale 3 Destruction Magician and Scale 8 Creation Magician to revive Odd-Eyes from my Extra Deck!" With that, the familiar sight of his dragon graced the field. "I'll activate the Pendulum Effect of Destruction Magician to target an Xyz monster on the field and give it a level equal to its rank, then I'll use Creation Magician's effect to make its level equal to Odd-Eyes!" Now both of his dragons were level 7 monsters, leaving the preparation for his final summon ready. "I'll use my level 7 Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon to build the Overlay network!"
As his 2 dragons disappeared in the network, he chanted, "Dragon of dual colored eyes. Unleash that black scale of wrath, and eradicate all opposing enemies! Xyz Summon! Come forth, Rank 7! Dragon with eyes of rage! Supreme King Black Dragon – Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon!" Yuya roared as the black and humungous combination of his and Yuto's dragons appeared from the Overlay network (ATTR:Dark/Rk:7/ATK:3000/DEF:2500). "Now since I Xyz summoned Rebellion using Dark Rebellion as an Xyz material while treating it as a level 7 monster, all level 7 or lower monsters you control are destroyed, and you'll take damage equal to their attack points, Overlord Howling!" The specter of Dark Rebellion formed behind the Supreme Black Dragon, was absorbed by it, and the dragon let loose a mighty roar that disintegrated the Blood Dragon!
Before the blast could hit Aki, she activated a counter trap, "Nature's Reflection, now you will take the damage I would take instead." Aki stated in a cold voice as Yuya's eyes widened. The energy of his dragon turned back on him and blasted him away (Yuya LP:0).
"YUYA!" Sora yelled as he attempted to help, but he was suddenly thrown back by a new ivy whip Aki materialized.
Taking Yuzu, Aki quietly walked away while Yuya simply looked at her retreating form before falling unconscious.
OC Fanmade Cards
Blossom Shield (Trap:Continuous) - If a card you control would be destroyed, you can banish one Plant-type monster from your graveyard to prevent its destruction. If there are no Plant-type monsters in your graveyard, destroy this card.
Blossom Catacysm (Trap:Continuous) - If (a) card(s) is destroyed by battle or card effect by a Plant-type monster or a Black Rose Blood Dragon, the controllers of those cards take damage equal to the total # of cards destroyed *500.
And that wraps up this chapter, I'm sorry Yugo and Yuri didn't get to duel but I'll save that for another chapter. If anyone asks, the reason Yuri warned Barrett to flee is because he and Barrett knew each other in the past and deep beneath all that hate and sadism, he does genuinely care about him. Also, if anyone wonder's why Yuya didn't just use Dark Rebellion's effect, well, Aki's other trap was Rose Crush, Basically an amped up version Rose Curse that would deal Yuya damage equal to the new attack power of Dark Rebellion. Don't know when I'll have the next chapter but stay tuned for Jack and Aki to duel. See you later!
