Jack was riding through the city. He got a call from Crow about ten minutes ago. Sector Security's office got attacked by some guys dressed as medieval knights. You just can't get some people. It was quite late and the roads were, mostly, empty. Here and there he would encounter a car or a bike, but other than that he had the whole city to himself. He was getting close to his destination and he was looking for kicking someone's butt. He had a dinner with Mina, when he got the call and the fact that he had to sacrifice his evening to stop some crazy guys was far from being appealing. He wanted to help his friend, but leaving Mina alone was not ideal.
The blonde heard an engine roar, but it didn't belong to his D-Wheel. His bike didn't only had a unique appearance but also made a unique sound. Jack didn't bother to turn around. He was sure it was just another duelist. A moment later he realized his mistake. "Jack Atlas" said an unknown voice from behind. A man rode over to the blonde duelist. Jack swore if it was another fan of his, he would drop him off the bridge into the ocean. Yeah, he was cranky during the end of the day, crankier than usual. He turned his head to yell at whoever decided to bother him, but only managed to curse under his breath.
The sight would've humored him on any other day, but not on this one. A man dressed in armor was riding a white D-Wheel. It was strongly resembling a horse used by knights on tournaments in the past, as strange as it sounded. It had a lance attached to the side. It also had a crest similar to Ferrari mark on the side. "You have an honor of being challenged by me, Galahad" said the knight. The blonde smirked, "Since when does a knight has the right to challenge a king?"
"Poor, poor Jack. He thinks that he is a king, but I, Galahad, know that he is only an imposter"
"Less talking, more dueling. Let's get down to business" said Jack. "Fine, but I will go first" said the knight.
Galahad: LP-4000
Hand-5
"I draw. I play a Field Spell Noble Knights of The Round Table. Now I play a spell card Destiny of Knights. Now I can send up to four Warrior-type monsters from my deck to my graveyard. I send Noble Knight Brothers, Noble Knight Eachtar, Noble Knight Gawayn and Noble knight Medraut. Now I summon Noble Knight Gwalchad and equip it with Noble Arms of Destiny. Now, once per turn, I can negate the destruction of this card, but that is not all. Whenever Gwalchad is equipped by an equip spell card I can target one Noble Knight in my grave and return it to my hand. I return Noble Knight Brothers to my hand. I set one card face down and end my turn. Since I have three Noble Knight cards in my grave I can send one Noble Knight from my deck to my graveyard via the effect of Noble Knights of The Round Table. I send Noble Knight Artorigus from the deck to the grave"
Galahad: LP-4000
Hand-2
Jack: LP-4000
Hand-5
"I draw. Since you control a monster and I control no monsters I can special summon Vice Dragon, but its attack and defense are halved. I summon Dark Resonator. I tune my level five Vice Dragon to my level three Dark Resonator and synchro summon Red Dragon Archfiend. I attack Noble Knight Gwalchad with my dragon. It won't be destroyed, but you will still take damage"
Galahad: LP-4000→2500
"I set one card face down and end my turn"
Jack: LP-4000
Hand-3
Galahad was smirking despite the situation he was in and that made Jack feel slightly uneasy.
Galahad: LP-2500
Hand-2
"I draw. I activate my trap card, Jar of Greed. I draw one card. I summon Noble Knight Brothers. Whenever I normal summon this card I can special summon two Noble Knight cards from my hand. I special summon Noble Knight Gawayn and Noble Knight Peredur. I overlay my level four Noble knight Brothers, Noble Knight Gawayn, Noble Knight Gwalchad and Noble Knight Peredur and XYZ summon Exalted Knight Galahad"
Exalted Knight Galahad: Rank-4 ATK-3500 DEF-1500 Attribute-Light Type-Warrior XYZ
"An XYZ user?!" exclaimed Jack. This summoning method came to New Domino City not so long ago and only a few could use it to the fullest. "Yes. We, The Knights of king Arthur can use every summoning method there is. Now, let's get back to the duel. Once per turn I can detach one overlay unit from Galahad, search my deck for an equip spell card and equip it onto this card, then I can destroy up to one card on the battlefield and Galahad gains it's effects. I attach Noble Arm – Gallatin to Galahad. Now he gains one thousand attack points and I destroy Red Dragon Archfiend. I attack you directly"
"I activate my trap card Archfiend's Roar and pay five hundred Life Points and special summon Red Dragon Archfiend from my grave in defense position"
"Not bad, you've managed to hold off my attack, but it only delays the inevitable. I end my turn"
Galahad: LP-2500
Hand-1
Jack: LP-4000
Hand-3
"I draw. I activate a spell card Monster Reborn. I special summon Red Dragon Archfiend. I summon Chain Resonator and if there are a synchro monster on my side of the field I can special summon one tuner monster from my deck. I special summon Dark Resonator. I double tune my level eight Red Dragon Archfiend to my level one Chain Resonator and my level three Dark Resonator. I synchro summon Red Nova Dragon! He gains five hundred attack points for each tuner monster in my grave. There are three tuners in my grave, so that is fifteen hundred attack points for my dragon. I attack Galahad with my monster"
Galahad: LP-2500→1800
Sudenly steam erupted from Jack's bike and it abruptly stopped. He looked at his life points with shocked expression. They were at zero, but how could it be? He had maximum amount of life points just a moment ago. "You are probably wondering how could you lose just now" said Galahad. He sounded awfully smug. "You see, Exalted Knight Galahad has a handy ability. Whenever it is destroyed, my opponent takes damage equal to the amount of attack points it possessed on the battlefield. He had forty three hundred attack points. That was more than enough to finish you off. Don't worry, I am sure you won't make similar mistake ever again" said the man and Jack didn't like how it sounded. His body got engulfed by brilliant white light. It was going up into the sky in a form of a pillar.
Jack felt pressure, but couldn't understand from where it was coming from. It was starting to hurt and the blonde tried to get out from the light, but once he tried to exit the circle he bumped into something. It was like someone placed an invisible wall there. Jack started hitting the wall, but to no avail. The pain was getting unbearable and then it was gone. The man opened his eyes and saw a starry sky. Then Galahad's face came into view, wait, something was wrong here. Galahad was towering over him but Jack didn't remember falling on his back. He looked to the left and to the right and his eyes got wide. He saw only darkness around him, the only light was coming from the stars. Only now did Jack noticed that he saw the sky through a square window. Galahad's face got closer. Something was definitely wrong, he was holding him as through he was… as through he was a card!
Galahad picked up the card that was depicting his opponent. He had a smirk on his face. Then he heard something. It was a tune of some sort. It was coming from Jack's D-Wheel. The knight walked over to it. The sound was coming from a mobile that was placed in a pocket near the due disk. He looked at the screen. A photo of a blue haired woman with the name 'Mina' was on the screen. The knight tossed the phone into the ocean. Then he put the newly carded Jack into his deck and then rode away on his bike.
Meanwhile with the Twins and the others
Yusei just got a call from Mina. Jack went to help Crow and the others, but since then passed half an hour. Mina tried to call him but he wouldn't answer. The twins got into Komstock's car and went to look for their friend. "So, where do we start?" asked Komstock. "He could've taken any road for what we know"
"Actually that is entirely true. Jack was at home when he got a call from Crow. His apartment is close to the center of the city. There are eight routes that could've led him here. Pres street is too crowded to use even at night. Two other have too many twists and turns that would've slowed him down. That leaves us five possible variants. One of the roads goes past his personal fan club, he won't be going there either. Two of the roads are free most of the time and that would seem like a perfect choice except for the fact that those roads are often used by trucks, so they are damaged and Jack wouldn't go that way if he would have a choice. Then we have two paths to take, one to the left and the other one to the right. Since Jack is right-handed and he was probably in a rush he would unconsciously choose the right one. I say road number ten is a good place to start" said Leo. Komstock nodded and started the engine.
The car reached the road Number Ten and indeed, there they saw Jack's Duel Runner. His owner was nowhere to be found. "I don't understand how he does that" said the priest referring to the teal haired boy. "He is much smarter than he tries to look" said Aki. They walked over to the white D-Wheel. Luna checked the place where Jack usually puts his phone, but found nothing.
Something else caught Yusei's attention: a trail that was going along the trail from Jack's bike. You could say that this is a public road and this person was just going on his way if not for the fact that the trial was almost mimicking Jack's. "You think those knights got him?" asked the red haired woman. "Yeah, they certainly could. I don't want to jump to conclusions but it is definitely a possibility" said the man. "What now?" asked the dark skinned man. Yusei let out a sigh and massaged his eyes. "I don't know. I guess we should drive the twins home and then we will decide what we should do next" said the male signer.
The group headed off to the penthouse. They entered the apartment. It was close to twelve. "I will go make us some coffee" said the red haired woman. "I think you should stay here" said Yusei to the twins. "Yeah, we guessed you would say something like that" said Luna. "The three of you would be safe here"
"Yeah, we know. What are you planning to do?" asked Leo. "I have an idea of what these guys may want. I want to test my theory" said the man. The twins nodded at him. Yusei smiled and left the apartment along with father Komstock.
The men got into father's car and drove off. "So, where exactly are we going?" asked the older man. "We are going to the Deadalus Bridge, the place where the statue that looks like infinity mark is located"
"Why there?"
"When we were building it, we have found something under the seafloor. It was emitting enormous amounts of energy. We decided to investigate it later, since we didn't have the equipment to do so at that moment. Then, we kind off forgot about it. Maybe it was a good thing. The history shows that humanity should be kept away from such powerful things. We did make a computer diagnose of the area and there was something odd about it. The item that was emitting the energy was resembling a sword" explained the signer. The priest let out a 'Hmph' and started driving faster.
A lonely car was getting close to the infinity statue in the middle of Deadalus Bridge. It was late and most people preferred to travel from Satellite to City during the day. Komstock and Yusei got out from the car and stood in front of the golden circle. "What now?"
"We wait" said the signer. They didn't need to wait for too long. Something covered the moon and the men looked up. A giant flying castle was hovering above them. Their eyes became wide for a few seconds. The castle was held in the air by four turbines. Then something flew out from the castle. The figure was getting closer and the men could already understand who it was. The man named Arthur was driving a winged D-Wheel. Somehow it was flying although Yusei was quite sure that it was ignoring a few laws of physics. He kind of wanted to study that bike… if they manage to get out victorious out of this fight.
"I guess I should ask you, why are you here, but I believe that it is unrequired. If you just made a wild guess I would be severely disappointed" said the knight. "The sword on the bottom of a lake, although this is an ocean, but that does not change the fact that all of this resembles and Arthurian legend" said the signer. "Wait! You mean that the source of power down there is actually Excalibur?!" exclaimed the priest. "Yes, it is. The sword from the prophecy is indeed down there and I will be the one who will bring the world to the better future through its power!"
"Not if we have something to say about it" said the priest as he put a duel disc on his arm and took out a deck from his inner pocket. "What made you think that you think that you will be facing only me" said the knight. Yusei and Komstock heard a sound of an engine coming from behind them. The priest turned around and saw another knight. He was driving a D-Wheel that was resembling a horse. "Just great. Now we have two clowns instead of one" said the priest. Yusei also prepared for the fight.
"Duel!"
Akiza and the twins were sitting in the kitchen, drinking coffee. They were quiet for the most part, all in deep thought. They were thinking about the encounter they had earlier. Someone was worried about their friends, someone was thinking about a way how to defeat this new threat and someone was trying to remember something. The face of that knight, Arthur, was surprisingly familiar to Akiza. She was sure that she had seen him somewhere, but she couldn't understand where. It wasn't on the street or in a magazine or a newspaper so… it clicked inside her head. "Leo, can you get your laptop?"
"Sure" said the boy. He walked to his room and brought his black and yellow laptop to the kitchen. "Do you still have Arcadia Movement's database in here" asked the red haired woman. "Of course I do. Wait sec" Leo searched through the folders until he found a folder named 'AM Locked'. He double clicked it and a window, demanding password, popped up. "We haven't cracked it yet?" asked the green haired girl. "We never really had the need" said the boy. "Okay, it was created by Sayer and he was storing the info on all people that had a potential to become psychic duelist AND join Arcadia Movement" said Aki.
"How about the easiest choice. Type in Arcadia" suggested Luna. Her brother did just that but was greeted with 'Access Denied'. "So much for that idea" said the girl. "Okay, how about… not a single idea. I can't think so late at night" said the woman with a pout. The twins giggled at that. "Okay, let us think. He was gathering people to teach them how to use their powers and then use them for his plans. He was watching every one of them and trying to control all their movements, maybe 'overlord'" suggested they boy. He failed once again. Then Luna clicked her fingers and started typing something. In a second they saw a window with 'Access Granted' on the screen. "What did you type in?" asked the bewildered boy. "KyberMC" was her simple reply. "What does it even mean?" asked the confused woman. "Kyber memory crystal"
"Wait, that is a thing from Star Wars" said the boy. "Yeah. Your words just reminded me about Jedi and I don't know, that thing just popped into the head. Maybe he was a fan" said the girl. The group started going through the folders. They breathed through the 'Members' and then went to the 'Potential'. They haven't found anything there either. They closed folder after a folder: 'Connections', 'Relatives', 'Prime Targets', and even the one with a fairly strange name 'Bane of My Existence'. There was a photo of a woman. They all decided that this woman was somehow related to Sayer but it didn't help them on the current mater. They almost lost hope when they got to the last folder named 'Traitors'. There were only a three files. Two people were unknown to the group, but once they opened the last one they were greeted with a familiar face. It was definitely Arthur, but he had a different name. "Thomas Dulock, a powerful psychic duelist. Could've become one of the strongest weapons of the movement, if not for his eccentric behavior. Believes that the ancient legends are true and considers his powers to be magic. Left Arcadia movement on December twenty first of 2007. Current whereabouts are unknown. May pose a threat to the Movement. Possesses incredible dueling skills and powerful psychic abilities, eliminate on sight" read the woman.
"Oookay, this is not good" said Leo. "We need to call Yusei and inform him about it" said the girl. "Already on it" said the redhead as she was holding the phone near her ear. He wasn't picking up. Then they heard a door getting slammed open. Luna let out a frustrated groan, "We have fixed that door only a week ago". The group got out their duel disks and prepared to face whoever was there.
Yusei was struggling against Arthur. This guy was pretty good. Yusei had Stardust Dragon and a Scrap Iron Scarecrow on the field. Arthur had Artorigus, King of Noble Knights equipped with Caliburn, Noble Arms of Destiny and Gallatin and two trap cards. Yusei was doing a pretty good job in blocking the attacks of the knight with his trap, but that couldn't last forever.
"You are a good warrior, lad. Join me and we will reshape this world together" said Arthur. "I am sorry but I think I will decline that offer. It my turn"
Yusei: LP-900
Hand-3
"I draw. I special summon Stardust Xialong from my grave via its effect. Now I summon Jet Synchron. I tune my level one Stardust Xialong to my level one Jet Synchron and synchro summon Formula Synchron. Whenever I summon this card I can draw one card. Now I tune my level eight Stardust dragon to my level two Formula Synchron and synchro summon Shooting Star Dragon. Now I excavate the top five cards of my library and Shooting Star dragon can attack as many times as the amount of tuners that I have revealed. Okay, we have Junk Synchron, Level Eater, Turbo Synchron, Nitro Synchron and Speed Warrior. I can attack three times. I attack Artorigus, King of The Noble Knights with Shooting Star Dragon"
"Once per turn I can negate the destruction of the monster equipped with Noble Arms of Destiny"
"You still take damage. Your Artorigus has only twenty four hundred attack points due to Gallatin's effect"
Arthur: LP-5000→4100
"Here goes the second one"
Arthur: LP-4100→3200
The monster got destroyed and now knight's field was empty. He chuckled for some reason and then it grew into an outright laughter. Yusei gave him a confused look. "What is so funny?"
"Nothing, lad, nothing. You are as strong as everyone has been telling me. I give you the last chance to join me willingly" said the knight. "I think you are in no position to demand something. Go, Shooting Star Dragon, attack Arthur directly"
"I play a trap card Avalon. I banish five Noble Knight cards from my grave including at least one Artorigus and at least one Laundsallyn card and destroy all cards on the battlefield"
"I activate Shooting Star Dragon's ability and negate the effect of a card that would destroy a card on the field" said Yusei. The signer was feeling a little bit weird. It was like the air was getting heavier and heavier. He knew this feeling and he can't say that it was tied to the most pleasant memory. "Did you really think that I would duel you without being prepared. I activate a trap card Ultimate Word. Now no effects can be negated until the end of the turn. I guess this is the end" said the man. Yusei was about to blow his bubble of arrogance, but he suddenly felt a rush of wind. His dragon got destroyed and he was blasted back. He got slammed against the ground. His vision was starting to get blurry. He could see Arthur crouching in front of him. "You know, I knew that I wouldn't be able to defeat you, lad. You are the one that managed to defeat Rex Godwin and Aporia. I hate to admit it, but I stood no chance. The only way I could win is through a technicality. If a duelist can't finish his duel, his opponent becomes the winner. In a few moments you will pass out, and you won't be able to finish this duel. I won, Ysuei Fudo" said the knight. The last thing that Yusei saw was an annoying smirk.
"Yusei!" shouted the priest. He charged in Yusei's direction but his path was blocked by Galahad. "Do not forget, I am your opponent" said the knight. The man let out a frustrated growl. He had Michael, The Arch-Lightsworn and about ten cards left in the deck. His opponent had Exalted Knight Galahad on the field with no overlay units. It was equipped with Gallatin and Noble Arms of Destiny. He had twenty nine hundred attack points. That equip card was really not paying off.
Komstock: LP-500
Hand-2
"I draw. I tribute Michael, the Arch-Lightsorn and summon Celestia, Lightsworn Angel. Whenever Michael is destroyed I can return any number of Lightsworns in my grave and send them back into the deck. I gain three hundred Life Points for each card returned this way into the deck. I return twenty one cards into the deck and gain sixty three hundred Life Points. Since I have tribute a Lightsworn monster to summon her, an effect activates. I send the top four cards of my library to the grave and target up to two cards on my opponent's side of the field. He sends them to the grave. I destroy Noble Arms of Destiny and Galahad"
"Whenever Exalted Knight Galahad gets sent to the grave, my opponent takes damage equal to the amount of attack points that it had on the battlefield. You take twenty nine hundred points of damage"
Komstock: LP-6800→3900
"Now I attack you directly with Celestia"
Galahad: LP-2400→100
"I end my turn"
Galahad: LP-100
Hand-2
"I draw. At the beginning of my Standby Phase I can discard all cards from my hand and special summon Exalted Knight Galahad from my grave. If it was special summoned this way I can select any amount of Noble Arms in my graveyard and attach them to Galahad as overlay units. I attach Noble Arms of Destiny, Noble Arms – Gallatin, Noble Arms – Caliburn and Noble Arms – Afeudutyr to Galahad as overlay units. Now I detach one overlay unit from Galahad and search my deck for a Noble Arms equip card. I equip Exalted Knight Galahad with Noble Arms – Gallatin. He gets one thousand attack points and I destroy one monster my opponent controls. I destroy Celestia, Lightsworn Angel. Now I attack you directly"
Komstock: LP-3900→0
Once his life points hit 'zero' the man rushed to Ysuei, but his path was blocked by Galahad. The knight took out a sword and charged at Komstock , trying to stab him. The priest hooked the tip of the sword with his cane and drew the blade away from his body, then he tackled Galahad with his shoulder. The heavy armor and the strength of the strike pulled the man backwards, he fell onto his back. The priest stepped onto his face and heard a rather satisfying crunching sound. He broke his nose.
The priest ran over to the unconscious Yusei but was stopped by Arthur. He was about to knock him out with a swift strike of his cane, but felt someone restraining him. He looked behind himself and saw two knights with oddly familiar faces. They forced him to his knees. Komstock looked up and saw Arthur, towering over him. He looked awfully smug. The priest caught a glimpse of Arthur's duel disk. It had a card 'Noble Knight Brothers' on it. Now he remembered where he saw these two. This bastard was a psychic duelist! "Father Komstock, a priest from the church in the Satellite. You were helping a woman named Martha and he orphans, as such many of the children from that junkyard consider you a father. You were the one that taught most of them how to duel"
"I know my biography. Cut to the business, will ya!"
"I just wanted you to show you that I know who I got here. To be honest I wanted the honor of defeating you for myself, but I had a bigger fish on my hands" said the knight. Light surrounded the dark skinned man. The knights let him go. He tried to push through the portal, but to no use. "With you and Yusei Fudo out of the way, there is almost no one that can defeat me"
Komstock layed both of his hands onto the cane in front of his feet and chuckled. "No one you say? I am pretty sure that there are a few people in this city that can defeat you. I personally know three of them"
"Yes, Akiza Izinski can prove to be difficult to deal with, but I am sure that my knights will be able to deal with her. The second person you are probably talking about is that girl Luna. She is strong, that is for her age. She will be no match for my twelve closest knights. I assume that the third person you are talking about is her brother Leo. He never was a threat and never will be. He has nothing special about him. You are overestimating him"
"He defeated two of your knights. Their names were Agravain and Gareth. Those are the names of Knights of the Round Table, which means that they probably were one of your strongest men"
"Simple luck and a help of a great duelist. Farewell father Komstock, it was great knowing you"
The dark skinned man disappeared along with the light, only a card was left. Galahad walked over to his fellow knight. He was holding his broken and bleeding nose. "What now, my king?"
"Now we wait, my dear Galahad" said the knight as he climbed onto his bike. He looked at the cards in his hand: Yusei Fudo and father Komstock. He couldn't contain his smile on the way back to the castle.
Four knights barged into the apartment. Akiza and the twins prepared to fight. One of the knights took a step forward. "My name is Percival. I am one of the knight of king Arthur, I came he…"
"Like we care. You guys are going to pay for that door soo much!" yelled the boy. The knights took out their duel disks. Percival took on Akiza, one of them fought Luna and the rest decided to team up against Leo.
(Okay. Here I will write all three duels separately. Note that they are happening in the same time but in order to make it easier to understand, and easier for me to write them(mostly in order to make it easier for me) Thank you for your understanding)
Percival: LP-4000
Hand-5
"I draw. I summon Noble Knight Brothers. With their effect I special summon Noble Knight Peredur and Noble Knight Borz. I equip Noble Knight Borz with Noble Arms of Destiny. Now I activate his ability and search my deck for three Noble Arms cards and add one to my hand while the others go to the grave. I equip Noble Knight Peredur with Noble Arms – Caliburn. He gains five hundred attack points and an ability to give me five hundred Life Points. I activate its ability and gain five hundred life points. I set one card face down and end my turn"
Percival: LP-4500
Hand-1
Akiza: LP-4000
Hand-5
"I draw. I summon Twilight Rose Knight. When this card is normal summoned I can special summon one level four or below plant-type monster. I special summon Violet Witch. I tune my level four Violet witch to my level three Twilight Rose Knight and synchro summon Black Rose Dragon. Whenever is synchro summon this card I can destroy all cards on the battlefield"
"Due to Noble Arms of Destiny, Borz is not destroyed. Caliburn's effect activates and I equip it onto Borz. Whenever Noble Knight Peredur is sent to the grave while being equipped by Noble Arms equip card I can return one Noble Arms from my graveyard to my hand. I return Noble Arms – Gallatin to my hand. In the end you have accomplished nothing"
"I don't remember ever saying that I have ended my turn. I play a spell card Miracle Synchro Fusion and banish Black Rose Dragon and Twilight Rose Knight from my grave and fusion summon Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste"
Percival's eyes got wide. He most certainly didn't expect something like this. The only time they saw Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste was WRGP and it was used by Yusei Fudo. "Judging by your gawking face you are surprised that I have this card. Yes, this is not really my style but I saw how you guys duel, so I think it would be better if I finish you off quickly. Go Draco-Equiste, attack Borz"
Percival: LP-4500→3500
"I play a spell card Miracle Seed. I return one plant-type monster or a Black Rose Dragon to my hand. I choose Black Rose Dragon and return it to my hand, which means that it goes to the Extra Deck. I set one card face down and end my turn"
Akiza: LP-4000
Hand-1
The knight was definitely frustrated, which made Akiza quite happy. If he was frustrated, then he would be more susceptible to making mistakes. The woman looked at the dragon knight beside her. A small smile made its way onto her face. Yusei gave her this card, only he and the twins knew about this. It was the first time she used this card and so far it was doing great job of keeping her opponent at bay.
Percival: LP-3500
Hand-1
"I draw. I summon Merlin. I tribute him and special summon one Noble Knight monster from my deck. I special summon Noble Knight Eachtar. I banish Noble Knight Peredur and Noble Knight Borz from my grave and special summon another Noble Knight Eachtar. Now I have two level five monsters and I bet that you haven't seen this coming. With this I will break your rule dark witch named Black Rose" said the man in an overconfident voice. The woman rolled her eyes. Despite his overly dramatic act, he did pose a threat. He was about to XYZ summon and the Extra Deck monsters of these guys were pretty overpowered. She felt like Leo right now, asking herself, 'Why do baddies always get the best cards?'.
"I overlay my mighty and noble knights and XYZ summon Exalted Knight Percival!"
Exalted Knight Percival: Rank-5 ATK-3000 DEF-2500 Attribute-Light Type-Warrior XYZ
"I detach one overlay unit from my almighty knight and I can destroy up to three cards my opponent controls. I destroy your trap card and your little dragon. Knights always defeat dragons. Now Percival gains attack points equal to the amount of attack points of the monsters destroyed by this effect. He gains thirty two hundred attack points. I attack you directly"
Akiza: LP-4000→0
The woman dropped to her knees with her eyes wide. She couldn't believe this. One second she was wining and the other one she had already been defeated. She looked at her opponent. He was smirking. She wanted to wipe out that smirk off his face, but white light had already enveloped her body. She heard twin's cries. They were calling out her name. She looked at their direction. They managed to win their duels. It brought a smile to her face. "Don't get into this. We will manage to get through this by ourselves. I love you two" said the woman. She wasn't believing those words about them getting out of this on their own and she also was sure that the twins won't listen, Leo definitely wouldn't. She just felt that she had to say something before getting turned into card. She really meant the last part. The last thing she saw was a flash of bright light and then there was only darkness.
Luna's Duel
Luna was facing one of the knights that had barged into their house. Her brother was facing two of them while Akiza was taking on their leader. She really wanted to deal with this one as quickly as possible in order to help one of them. Now was the time to stop holding back and face this guy in full strength.
Luna: LP-4000
Hand-5
"I draw. I summon Spirit of The Breeze in attack mode. I play a spell card Swords of Revealing Light. Now your monsters cannot attack me for three turns. I set two cards face down and end my turn"
Luna: LP-4000
Hand-2
"What kind of a play was that. It was so weak. I can't believe you are a signer" said the knight. "Get over with your turn and then talk junk about me"
Knight: LP-4000
Hand-5
"I draw. I summon Noble Knight Bedwyr. Whenever I summon this card I can send one Noble Arms card from my deck to the grave. I send Noble Arms - Gallatin to the grave. I set a trap card face down and end my turn"
"One second please I activate my trap cards, two Solemn Wishes. Now whenever I draw a card I can gain five hundred life points"
Knight: LP-4000
Hand-5
Luna gave the man a bewildered look and rolled her eyes. She never liked the guys that talked too much, she looked at her brother… scratch that, she doesn't like the adults that talk too much, she likes her brother, despite his big mouth.
Luna: LP-4000
Hand-2
"I draw. During my Standby Phase if Spirit of The Breeze gives me one thousand Life Points. I reveal Golden Ladybug from my hand. Now, during each of my Standby Phases, if this card is in my hand I can gain five hundred life points"
Luna: LP-4000→6500
"Now I summon Fire Princess in attack mode. I equip her with Mist Body and now it can't be destroyed by battle. I end my turn"
Luna: LP-6500
Hand-1
Now Luna was close to finishing off this guy. On the next turn she would gain another twenty five hundred Life Points and her opponent would lose two thousand life points. She had this in the bag.
Knight: LP-4000
Hand-5
"I draw. I activate Bedwyr's effect and attach Gallatin to him from the grave. I summon Noble Knight Brothers and special summon Noble Knight Gawayn and Ignoble Knight of Black Laundsallyn. I activate Foolish Burial and send Lady of The Lake from my deck to my grave. I reduce Laundsallyn's level by one and special summon Lady of The Lake from my grave. I tune my level four Lundsallyn and Noble Knight Brothers to my level one Lady of The Lake and synchro summon level nine Archers of The Camelot"
Archers of The Camelot: LV-9 ATK-3000 DEF-1000 Attribute-Light Type-Warrior Synchro
"I equip Archers of The Camelot with Noble Arms of Destiny. I equip Borz with Noble Arms Gallatin. I activate his ability and search my deck for three Noble Arms cards and add one to my hand. I add Noble Arms of Destiny to my hand and send Noble Arms - Gallatin and Noble Arms – Arfeudutyr to my grave. I equip Berdwyr with Noble Arms of Destiny. The effect of my Archers activates during the End Phase. I inflict five hundred points of damage to my opponent for each Spell/Trap card on the field. That would be thirty five hundred Life Points. Now I end my turn"
Luna: LP-6500→3000
Knight: LP-4000
Hand-1
That move took Luna out of guard. She didn't expect to face an opponent that would be dealing so much effect damage. She took a deep breath. She was fine. She still gained a ton of Life Points per Standby Phase and dealt damage to her opponent through Fire Princess's effect. She just had to survive for the next two turns.
Luna: LP-3000
Hand-1
"I draw. I gain another twenty five hundred Life Points and since I gained Life Points four times, you lose two thousand Life Points through Fire Princess's effect"
Knight: LP-4000→2000
"I summon Sunny Pixie from my hand. I end my turn"
Luna: LP-5500
Hand-1
Knight: LP-2000
Hand-1
"I draw. Well would you look at that. I summon Lady of the lake. I tune my level four Borz and Berdwyr to my level one Lady of The Lake and synchro summon another Archers of The Camelot and due to Noble Arms effects they are attached to the newly came warriors. Now you will take seven thousand Life Points. You are done for, little girl" said the knight as he started manically laughing. Luna braced herself, but suddenly she heard, "I activate a quick-play spell card Ambush Order. It negates all damage that would be done this turn"
Luna had recognized the voice. It belonged to Max. He was standing at the door, with duel disk, ready for the battle.
"Argh. I activate a continuous spell card Merlin's Magic: Healing. During my End Phase I gain Life Points equal to the amount of damage that was supposed to be dealt this turn"
Knight: LP-2000→9000
Hand-0
Luna scratched her head, "How does that card even work?"
Max: LP-4000
Hand-4
"I draw. I summon Munda, Ambush Leader"
Munda, Ambush Leader: LV-4 ATK-1900 DEF-1000 Attribute-Fire Type-Warrior Tuner
"Whenever is summon this card I can special summon another level four or below warrior-type monster. I special summon Gideon's Irregulars"
Gideon's Irregulars: LV-4 ATK-2000 DEF-0 Attribute-Light Type-Warrior
"I activate Gideon's Irregulars effect and change Archers of The Camelot to defense position by discarding two cards. I discard two more cards and change the second Archers of The Camelot to defense position. Now I tune my level four Gideon's Irregulars to level four Munda, Ambush Leader and synchro summon the most noble Signer Dragon, White Knight Dragon"
White Knight Dragon: LV-8 ATK-2500 DEF-2000 Attribute-Light Type-Dragon Synchro
Luna wasn't sure she heard him correctly. Did he just say 'Signer Dragon'? Max was a signer? "Now I activate and effect of Ambush Order in my grave. I banish it from the graveyard and special summon one level one tuner monster from my deck. Now, the almighty Crimson Dragon, help your loyal subject. Give me the power to defeat this threat!"
Luna felt a familiar feeling wash over her. She looked at her arm and saw that her mark had disappeared. Then she looked at the boy that was helping her duel this knight. Now she noticed it! There was a red spiral on his right arm. It probably was symbolizing the body of Crimson Dragon.
"Come forth Majestic Dragon. I banish a trap card Gideon's Reproach from my grave and special summon it as a level one normal monster that would be destroyed during the End Phase. I tune my level eight White Knight Dragon and level one Gideon's Reproach token to my level one Majestic Dragon and synchro summon Majestic Knight Dragon"
Majestic Knight Dragon: LV-10 ATK-3500 DEF-3000 Attribute-Light Type-Dragon Synchro
"What?! How the hell he is a Signer and how come he can use Majestic Dragon?!" yelled the teal haired boy. He was focused on his duel when he heard a name of a familiar monster and couldn't believe what he just saw, but he could complain later, after he gets out of this mess with these two bastards.
"Whenever this card is Synchro summoned I can change any amount of defense position monsters my opponent controls. Their attack is reduced to zero and I can attack each one of them during this Battle Phase, also Majestic White Dragon gains one thousand attack points for each monster that changed battle position this turn. Now I attack Archers of The Camelot, both of them"
Knight: LP-9000→0
The knight let out a high pitched scream and fell backwards. Luna looked at her savior. He had a warm smile on his face. She smiled back… and then she heard, "I attack you directly". The girl looked at Akiza and gasped in horror. She was standing on her knees in front of Percival. She had lost, but how? Akiza was such powerful duelist. She got surrounded by light. By this time Leo was standing beside her, watching the horrible scene unfold. They cried out her name. The woman smiled at them. She said to not try to help them, she knew them a lot better than that, but her last phrase almost broke Luna's heart. She said that she loved them and the next moment she was gone, only a card was left there. Tears of grief and anger blinded Luna's vision. Now this was personal, now this was war.
Leo's Duel
Leo was facing two of the four men that had barged into their house. He really didn't like the odds but it was better this way. His sister could be facing these two and she would lose, he would never be able to forgive himself. He had to focus on this duel. He didn't have too many chances of winning this one, so he had to focus on this duel. If he would lose and get carded, Luna will have his head.
Leo: LP-4000
Hand-5
"I draw. I set one monster face down and two cards face down and end my turn"
Leo: LP-4000
Hand-3
Knight #1: LP-4000
Hand-5
"I draw. I summon Noble Knight Brothers. I special summon Noble Knight Gwalchavad and Noble Knight Berdwyr. I send Noble Arms – Arfeudutyr to the grave from my deck via Berdwyr's effect. I attack your face down monster with Noble Knight Berdwyr"
The knight charged at the face down card. It got flipped up and revealed that it was Morphtronic Staplen. "If Morphtronic Staplen is in defense position, it can't be destroyed by battle. If this card was attacked I can choose one face up attack position monster on the field and change it to defense position. I change Gwalchavad to defense position. After damage calculation Staplen is changed to attack position"
"I set a card face down and end my turn"
Knight #1: LP-4000

Leo: LP-4000

"I draw. I summon Morphtronic Remoten in attack mode. I end my turn"
Leo: LP-4000

Knight #2: LP-4000
Hand-5
"I draw. I summon Noble Knight Brothers. I special summon Noble Knight Borz and Noble Knight Artorigus. Since I control a light attribute monster I can special summon Noble Knight Gawayn from my hand in defense position. I equip Noble Knight Borz with Noble Arms – Gallatin. I activate his effect. I add Noble Arms – Caliburn to my hand. I equip Noble Knight Brothers with Noble Arms – Caliburn. I attack your Remoten with Noble Knight Brothers"
"I activate my trap card Dark Mirror Force. While that goes on the stack I activate my second card No Entry! Now all monsters my opponents control are changed to defense position. Now Dark Mirror Force's effect comes into effect and I banish every single monster card my opponent controls. Say bye, bye to your monsters, jerks"
The knights watched, with their eyes wide, at their monsters getting banished one my one. This definitely wasn't going according to their plan. Leo was smirking. He felt at control.
"I… I set one card face down and end my turn"
Knight #2: LP-4000
Hand-1
Leo: LP-4000
Hand-3
"I draw. I tune my level four Morphtronic Staplen to my level three Morphtronic Remoten and synchro summon Power Tool Dragon. I activate his ability and add one random equip spell card from my deck to my hand. I equip Power Tool Dragon with Power Tool C and D and Mage power. Now my monster has forty three hundred attack points. I attack you Knight #1"
"Hey, my name is John, not Knight #1"
"Who cares. You are just a lowly grunt, nothing more"
"I'll show you 'lowly grunt' I activate my trap card Sakuretsu Armor. Now your attacking monster is going to get destroyed"
"No it won't. I send Mage Power to the grave and Power Tool is not destroyed, but it does lose a thousand attack points"
Knight #1: LP-4000→700
"I end my turn"
Leo: LP-4000
Hand-2
Knight #1: LP-700
Hand-2
"I draw. I play a spell card, Merlin's Magic: Call of The Damned. I can conduct a special summon of one Extra Deck monster while using Noble Knight monsters in my Banished Zone. The cards used for that summon are sent to the graveyard. I overlay my level four Noble Knight Brothers, Noble Knight Berdwyr and Noble Knight Gwalchavad. I XYZ summon Rank four Special Squad of Camelot"
Special Squad of Camelot: Rank-4 ATK-2500 DEF-2500 Attribute-Light Type-Warrior XYZ
"I play a spell card Secret Reserves. This card can be attached to a face up XYZ monster card I control as an Overlay unit. I detach one overlay unit from Special Squad and special summon as many Squad Members tokens with two thousand attack points to my side of the field as the amount of warrior-type monsters on the field. That would be one. Monsters on my side of the field gain attack points equal to the amount of monsters on my side of the field X1000. I attack your Power Tool Dragon with my monsters"
"I destroy Power Tool C and D and negate the destruction of my monster"
Leo: LP-4000→2800
"Here comes the second attack"
Leo: LP-2800→2100
"I end my turn here"

Leo: LP-2100
Hand-2
Knight #2: LP-4000
"I draw. I activate a spell card Merlin's Magic: Call of The Damned. I think you know what it does by now. I overlay my level four Noble Knight Brothers, Noble Knight Borz and Noble Knight Artorigus and XYZ summon Rank four Special Squad of Camelot. I activate a spell card Secret Reserves and attach it to my monster as an overlay unit. I detach one overlay unit and special summon three Squad Member tokens, since me and my friend control three warrior-type monsters. Now my monsters gain six thousand attack points. You are done for, little brat. Squad Member attacks your face down monster"
"My monster is Morphtronic Staplen. I choose Special Squad of Camelot, it switches to defense mode"
"But now your monster is in attack mode. I attack him with my second Squad Member number two"
"I send an equip spell card Orcist from my hand to the grave and negate the attack"
"Whatever, I still have my last Squad Member and it still more than enough to finish you off. Go my loyal warrior"
"I send and equip spell card Oakenshield to the grave and make the battle damage zero"
"What?! How did you do that?! Argh! I end my turn"
Knight #2: LP-4000
Hand-1
The boy let out a sigh of relief… and then he heard a name of a familiar monster. For a second he thought that Yusei came back, but he wasn't happy for too long. He turned his head to look at his sister and saw a person that really annoyed him – Max. He had a Majestic monster on his side of the field, that one that Leo hasn't seen before. He also saw a mark of the Crimson Dragon on his right arm. For some reason he felt immense anger wash over him. "What?! How the hell he is a Signer and how come he can use Majestic Dragon?!" yelled the boy. He looked at his opponents. The situation was annoying him more and more. He had to finish this duel quick, and he had another reason to do so. His opponents were staring at him, seemingly frightened. He had no idea why they looked so scared, he couldn't be that scary, unknown to him his eyes had changed color. They were bright yellow now. The knights that seen this change occur were both confused and scared. Somehow this boy got this dark and frightening aura.
Leo: LP-2100
Hand-0
"I draw. I summon Glenmalt, The Dragon Edge"
Glenmalt, The Dragon Edge: LV – 2 ATK-1900 DEF-500 Attribute-Fire Type-Draguner Tuner
"Whenever I summon Glenmalt I can call out a Drag Weapon. I call Talons of The First Immortal!" shouted the boy. A portal that seemingly led to space opened above the boy. A pair of combat claws descended from the portal. They were glowing with black light with thin white outline. The claws were covered by white circuit-like pattern. Leo raised his arms and the claws got attached to them. "Whenever I call out this Drag Weapon I can negate the effects of all face up cards on the field and I can attack all monsters who's effects were negated, oh and I forgot to mention that it sets my own attack to twenty eight hundred, and I am the one that gets to make attacks. First of all you, my unfinished business"
Leo charged at Special Squad of Camelot. He tore through their rows like a beast. Once the first knight was down, the boy turned his attention to the remaining opponent. He sank his claws into the first Squad member and tore him in two. He destroyed every single one monster his opponent controlled. The knight had stumbled backwards. He was terrified.
Knight #2: LP-4000→1300
"I… I still h… have Life Points left"
"Glenmalt, finish him off" said the boy in a cold voice. The monster charged at the knight and delivered the finishing blow.
Knihgt #2: LP-1300→0
Once his opponents were defeated his eyes returned to normal. He obviously didn't notice anything. He immediately turned to check on his sister. She was fine… unlike his other sisterly figure. Akiza was standing on her knees in front of Percival. She had lost. Leo's eyes went wide. He couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't lose her, she was a member of a family to him. He started feeling the rage from before coming back and as Akiza said her last words it got even stronger.
The boy charged at Percival, but he got tackled by one of the knights. Leo stumbled to the ground and the knight pinned him down. Percival took Akiza's card and all other carded people they had and went to the balcony. There a flying D-Wheel was waiting him. The knight that was restraining the boy hit him on the head which caused Leo's vision to blur. Percival, and his knights, hopped onto the vehicle and flew off in the direction of an enormous flying castle.
Luna ran up to her brother and helped him to stand up. The teens went to the balcony and stared at the retreating forms of the knights. Leo cried out in frustration and hit the balcony with both fists. Luna let the tears flow one again. Her brother, upon seeing this, pulled her into a hug. She burrowed her face into his shoulder, soaking his jacket. He softly caressed her hair.
"We will get them"
"And they will regret ever messing with our family"
Okay, this one is pretty long. I hope you've liked this. I know, I know, I messed up with Borz's effect a little bit, but let's just pretend it works like that. Well good luck everyone.
