Chapter 41: The Inverse Omni Lords of Darkness

Back at the altar, Gao struggled from the crash as he managed to survive.

"Is everybody okay?!" Gao asked.

"Ouch... what happened, yo?" Tetsuya asked.

"Big Bro! Are you okay, kii?" Ricky asked Burn Nova.

"Sure thing!" Burn Nova gave his thumb up.

"What is this place?" Rouga asked.

"Didn't we get eaten by Yamigedo?" Daisuke asked.

"This place looks familiar." Asmodai said as he recognized this place, "There's no mistake. Right now, we're inside Yamigedo's belly!"

They are inside Yamigedo's belly like the time when Asmodai and Tetsuya went in.

"If we're inside Yamigedo's belly..." Drum said.

"Then Grandpa Tenbu must be here too!" Gao said.

"That might be the case." Daisuke said.

"I'm sure I saw him here, too!" Tetsuya recalled.

"Then we need to find Grandpa Tenbu!"

"I understand how you feel, but first we need to figure out our situation." Count Dawn said.

"I understand." Gao said.

"Now that you mention it, ever since we got here. I can't feel any power coursing through me." Drum said.

"It's true. I can't seem to conjure up my strength either." Variable Cord said.

"It seems we should conserve our power as long as we're here." Miserea said.

"I feel like I got a D and have to be held back a year." Burn Nova said as three returned to their human forms. Drum and Asmodai turned back to their original forms and two remains turned to cards.

"Well, I wonder what's going on." Paruko wondered, "Are we on the Moon? Or Earth?" She asked, "Are we alive? Are we dead?" She panicked.

"Don't worry." They heard someone as it was Sophia who was above on the rubble, "You're alive. For now."

"Sophia Sakharov!" Tasuku said.

"But it's just a matter of time." She said as the captives who are controlled by Gratos and the members are here, surrounding them.

"Right now, Master Yamigedo is headed straight for Earth." Jin said as he was with Noboru.

"Noboru!" Kiri said.

"Senior Magatsu!" Zanya said.

"You should be grateful for that." Suzuha said as she was with Genma.

"As he is traveling through space, his metabolism is lowered." Genma said.

"Senior Amanosuzu!" Tetsuya said.

"Genma Todoroki, isn't it?" Ban asked.

"Once he reaches to Earth, he'll continue to devour everything until he grows even more stronger than before." Sakuya said as she was with Kemura and Davide.

"H-he's basically hibernating, kem." Kemura said.

"And he'll be absorbing all of you once he's done with Earth!" Davide said.

"One of the Five Demon Generals of Sengoku Acadamy! Kemura!" Count Dawn recognized who it is.

"And Sakuya!" Daisuke said.

"Davide Yamazaki! Why you..." Rouga said as he begins to get angry at him.

"Until then, we're going to keep you occupied! That's our duty, as the Inverse Fiends!" Ges Shido said.

"In other words, we just need to defeat you guys first, right?" Drum asked.

"I wonder if you can." Sophia said as she pulled out her card. She called forth two Talos.

"Is it Disaster Force?" Asmodai assumed.

"We can do things like this! While we're in here!" Noboru said as he equips his Eisen Tiger and then Blitz Tiger. Tasku then equips his Star Saber, Asteroid as Daisuke equips his Galactic Buster.

"Seems like it's something different." Tasuku said.

"Good thing is that we won't have to use Future Force to stop you!" Daisuke said.

"I see! So the conditions are the same for us." Zanya said as he equips Murasame. For that, they all prepared for battle.

In space, Yamigedo used his orb as he travels through space as it sends down to Earth.

At the town square, the alarm went off.

"An emergency evacuation alert has been issued. Please proceed to your assigned shelter in a calm and orderly manner." Ms. Hanana announced as everyone has been evacuated as the town became empty, "I repeat, an emergency evacuation alert..." Mukuro was standing on the pole as he heard the message.

"In the blink of an eye, every single person has gone into hiding. Quite impressive. Having said that, if that guy hits the Earth, we're talking about a megaton level Impact." He said when he looked at the moon, "Do you think you can survive? With your piddling little shelters?"

At the shelter. Gao's family are inside as Haruka is with them.

"This is a terrible situation." Takeshi said.

"It'll be fine. I'm sure it'll be fine." Suzumi said.

"Haruka!" Haruka's mom came in the shelter.

"Mommy!" She ran to her mom as she hugged.

"Oh, you're safe! I'm so glad you're okay!" She cried for seeing her daughter safe. Then they heard a noise as they saw the TV, revealing Paruko on it.

"Ah, Paruko Nanana here, broadcasting live from within Yamigedo's belly as he approaches Earth!" She announced, "A serious 9 on 9 against a group calling themselves the Inverse Fiends Horde! Items, spells, and monsters! Anything goes!"

"Gao!" The family saw Gao, fighting with his might.

"Big Brother Gao!"

At the inside of Yamigedo's belly. The battle has been commenced as they begin to fight with anything goes.

"Get them, Black Edges!" Ges Shido ordered his two monster to attack. Drum came as he protected Gao and countered.

"Roaring Slash! Drum Saber!" He destroyed two Black Edges. Then Jin and Zanya clashed swords together.

"Fighting for those that deserve to our protection!" Zanya said, "You're the one who taught me that this is the true nature of Katana World!"

"Is that so?" Jin asked, "Chizomegumo!" He ordered it to attack.

"Tsukikage!" Tsukikage counters as he slashed Chizomegumo and destroyed him, "What are you protecting right now?! Is is something truly deserving of protection?! Answer me! Jin Magatsu!"

"I cast! Chillax!" Tetsuya cast as he cool off Suzuha's blast.

"Why aren't you attacking?" She asked.

"That's not my style, yo!"

"In that case..." She equipped more of her items, "Begone!" She fires multiple shots. But Asmodai used his defense spell to protect Tetsuya.

"That's not very elegant!" Asmodai said.

"Asmodai!"

"Iron Cyclops!" Noboru ordered as Cyclops makes his attack on Kiri.

"Noboru! I was envious of your friendship with Gao!" Kiri said, "I wanted to be a friend like you! That's why I...!"

"You're not making any sense. I'm Tiger! A lone Tiger!" Noboru said as he attacks.

Ban then makes his move as he punched Genma in the face.

"What do you think of my fist?!" Ban asked.

"It has no effect on me!" Genma said as he counter punched him on the side of his guts. Then they both collided their punches as it creates a big blowback effect, "Not a bad blow! It's a pity that you're my enemy!"

"I can tell! You didn't toughen your fists for something like this!"

Sophia then launched her arrow as she shoots at Tasuku but he counters it by deflecting with his Asteroid.

"That's enough!" He jumps and slashed at her item as it was destroyed.

"I prefer to use this one anyways." She equipped another item, "Photon Saber, Meteor." She equipped a rapier weapon that is made of photon.

"That's a Star Dragon World item!" Jack said after seeing what kind it is.

"Oh my, what a surprise." Suzaku said.

"Why do you have a Star Dragon World card?" Tasuku asked as Daisuke saw.

"So she has Star Dragon World, too? How is that possible?" He asked.

"Don't look at someone else! Look at me!" Sakuya said as she throws her fan of fire attacks as Daisuke used his jetpack to avoid it.

"Stop it, Sakuya! This isn't like you! You never wanted this way to happen!" Daisuke said.

"It doesn't matter. I will fulfill Master Yamigedo's wish and have him absorb you all!" She came charging at him.

Count Dawn jumps back while he was fighting against Kemura, "He's being mindcontrolled. I mustn't hurt him!" He said. In the clear of smoke.

"I-I equip, kem!" Kemura equipped his item, "Dragon Vanquishing Sword, Balmung, kem!"

Rouga and Davide fight against each other with their items and they fight with all their might without hesitations. Rouga managed to break through as he smashed through Davide's weapon as he smashed to the ground but Davide managed to step back.

"I don't believe someone like you has sufficient resolve to choose Danger World!" Rouga complained.

"Oh, I've got resolve. I've resolved to become so evil that even the guarddog of the underworld would run away from me." Davide said as he laughs evilly.

"He's rotten to the core." Cerberus said after seeing how much Davide is now to him.

"I cast! Dragon Flame!" Ges Shido cast as he unleash a fiery attack but Gao blocks it off as he swings his Dragoemperor and hits Ges Shido's helmet as it was took off. Gao was surprised as he finally saw Ges Shido's true identify.

"President Shido!" Gao said. Shido noticed that his helmet is off as he was trying to hide his face and make something up.

"You've confused me with someone else!"

"Huh?" Gao was confused. Then an explosion occurred as Asmodai stepped back while saving Tetsuya from the attack.

"Gao! I can carry everyone with my space-time spell now! What do you want to do?" He asked Gao for his opinion.

"I have an idea!" tasuku said as he stepped back.

"What do you got?!" Daisuke said as he stepped back.

"All right, I think I understand!" Asmodai said as he transformed to his Omni self as he bit his thumb again, he then activated the spell, "Jump in!" Tetsuya and Asmodai went in first as Gao and Drum followed, Tasuku and Daisuke joined in too.

"I won't let you get away!" Davide said as he throws the Boulder Piercing Spear at them. But then Rouga blocks it with his item while the others are leaving through the portal.

"I won't let you!" Rouga said.

"Dammit!"

"I cast! Thunder Devastation!" He stabbed his spear to the ground as the ground shook. With electrifying dust, they managed to got away.

"They got away." Sophia said.

Back on Earth, Mukuro watches the moon as it appears closer, reaching the impact to the city.

"Time for me to take my leave." Mukuro said as he plans on escaping before he gets crushed. But then he noticed spell circle near the forest as the group managed to came back alive.

"I-is this Earth?" Paruko asked, "I, Paruko Nanana, am humbled to say I've returned!" She was glad that she came back safely.

"What about Yamigedo?!" Gao asked as they saw the moon coming from above.

"Th-that's huge!" Drum said.

"This isn't good. It's going to crash to Cho-Tokyo!" Daisuke said.

"Can we really stop this?" Zanya asked.

"Gao! Lend me your card!" Tasuku requested.

"Huh?" Gao was confused.

"Daisuke! I need your help! Lend your power to me again!"

"Right!" Daisuke nodded as they both activated the Future Force.

"Future Force, release!"

"It's not a question of whether we can stop this. We will stop this!" Tasuku said.

"And we will make sure this won't happen to us! We will fight with all we got!" Daisuke said.

"We cast! Dragon Lord Initiation! Giga Howling Crusher!" They used the Impact to hold the moon down from crashing as it managed to try slowing it down. Tasuku and Daisuke are using all of their might to keep the moon from crashing. Mukuro watches as he turns.

"It's no use. It's too late." Mukuro recommend to give up. Tasuku and Daisuke are getting exhausted as the Impact is weaken. They are holding it as much as they can as they are losing their strength but then Gao came by as he offered to help.

"Gao..." Drum said as Gao's hair grew. They screamed with all of their might as a second Giga Howling Crusher appeared as it holds down the moon.

"Wh-wh-what's this?! A second Giga Howling Crusher has appeared!" Paruko announced. Gao, Tasuku, and Daisuke are using everything they got.

"It's no use. I keep telling you!" Mukuro said as the moon is almost reaching down to the ground.

"And we call ourselves Omni Lords?!" Drum asked as he took out his Emblem, "There are so many of us, and we can't even drive back this simple ball!" He said as it begins to react.

"Drive back?" Count Dawn asked as he looked at his Emblem, "That's it! If we take the seal energy and direct it outwards instead. Or else."

Mukuro watches them again as he saw something flashing, "Why aren't they running away?!" The Omni Lords showed their true selves as they are using their strengths together as they combine their power to hold down the moon together.

"Are you seeing this, folks?! Yamigedo is slowing down before our very eyes! But he's only 300 meters away from the ground!"

"Stop!" Tetsuya and Zanya said.

"200 meters!"

"Stop!" Rouga said.

At the shelter...

"100 meters!" Paruko announced.

"Why... Why aren't I...Why aren't I there with them?!" Mukuro yelled as the moon landed in the clear of smoke. Gao, Tasuku, and Daisuke screamed as they gave their final power to boost the two Howling Crushers as it begins to crush the moon and it beings to crumble to pieces and it explodes. Mukuro was surprised after seeing the unexpected surprised. Red sparkles fell as they managed to save the world from the destruction of Yamigedo.

"We're alive! We are still alive!" Paruko announced. Gao, Tasuku and Daisuke panted as they became exhausted after using all of their strength they got for destroying the moon. During the crash, O-Yamigedo shows itself as he became more ferocious then ever.

"U-u-unbelievable! Yamigedo is unscathed!" Paruko announced after seeing Yamigedo's condition.

"What impudence. Then, I will take care of you first!" He takes out Ikazuchi's Core Gadget. He brought out the captives with familiar monsters appeared next to them.

"Inverse First Omni Beast Lord, Kage Ziun!" Jin introduced a copy of Ziun who is a dark version with red fur and eyes.

"Inverse Second Omni Demon Lord, Death Asmodai!" Suzuha introduced a different appearance Asmodai that is looks more evil than the original.

"Inverse Third Omni Water Lord, Dark Miserea!" Noboru introduced an evil version of Miserea.

"Inverse Fourth Omni Fire Lord, Venom Nova!" Genma introduced a purple evil version of Burn Nova.

"Inverse..." Ges Shido was about to introduced but Sakuya pushed him away.

"Inverse Fifth Omni Dragon Lord, Crazed Tenbu!" Sakuya introduced a dark version of Tenbu.

"Hey! I was going to do that!" Ges Shido complained.

"I need to make the introduction so I'll be borrowing him." Sakuya said.

"Inverse Sixth Omni Storm Lord, Catastrophe Cord." Sophia introduced a grey version of Variable Cord.

"Inverse Seventh Omni Earth Lord, Twilight Count, kem!" Kemura introduced a evil version of Count Dawn.

"Inverse Eighth Omni Deity Lord, Devilgadez!" Davide introduced a evil version of Grangadez.

"The Inverse Fiends have reappeared, with some very familiar looking monsters!" Paruko announced.

"Tasuku, aren't those..." Daisuke said.

"Those were the guys we saw in the future!" Tasuku recalled.

"These beings are the Inverse Omni Lords. Based on the power that was absorbed from you while you were in O-Yamigedo's belly!" Gratos explained, "They are newly born Omni Lords of darkness!"

"The power that was absorbed from us?" Asmodai asked.

"So that's why they made us fight inside Yamigedo's belly!" Tetsuya said.

"What a carefully laid out plan!" Zanya said as he admits.

"It's all thanks to you. Spasibo." Sophia said.

"You may look pretty, but you sure play dirty!" Burn Nova said.

"The Inverse Omni Fifth Dragon Lord is the only one who's different. He doesn't look like me!" Drum said after seeing the Crazed Tenbu.

"Now. Bow down before me!" Gratos said but then the lightning appeared from below as he dropped the Core Gadget.

"I'm taking this guy back." Ikazuchi said as he finally reclaimed his Core Gadget and his hands surged with lightning, "I'll defeat you alone!"

"Mighty O-Yamigedo. Devour the pitiful Ikazuchi!" Gratos ordered but then the tables have turned as O-Yamigedo attacks Gratos but he avoids it, "What?!" Ikazuchi smiled as O-Yamigedo returns into a card as it went back to Ikazuchi's deck.

"He says he has no intention of obeying you."

"Why?! I've spent so much time and care, guiding him. Why abandon me?!" He asked.

"Someone like you can't handle Yamigedo!" Ikazuchi referred himself better, "The only one who can handle his buddy, and that's me!"

"He's merely a creature with no sentience. In that case, fight me!" He pulled out his deck, "You shall learn for yourself who deserves to lead those who dwell in the darkness!"

"I like it!" Ikazuchi said as he flies up.

"Ikazuchi!" Gao yelled.

"No! Let him go. It's his fight." Daisuke said.

"But...!"

"Wh-wh-wh-what's this?! An impromptu fight between Ikazuchi and Gratos!" Paruko announced.

"Hundred Demons lurking the darkness! Destroy and rampage! Devour the World! Dark Luminize! Hundred Thunder Demons!"

"Release the deep abyss of the Apocalypse, which swallows even the darkness! Luminize! Apocalypse Knights!"

"Buddyfight!"

"Raise the Flag!"

"Parade of Hundred Demons!"

"Darkness Dragon World!"

(I: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)

(G: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)

At the shelter...

"Ikazuchi has the first move, and he starts out by increasing his critical!" Paruko announced, "He inflicts 3 damage using Narukami, and it's The Move End for him!"

"I cast! Accel End!" He discarded 5 cards from his deck as he gained one gauge.

"He drops 5 cards from his deck and increases his gauge!" Paruko announced.

"I call to the center, Second Knight of the Apocalypse, Voremos!"

"Which one is my prey?" He asked.

"Peluda's Thunder Mind activates!" Yamigedo creature attacks Gratos, inflicting one damage, "Also, Glasya Labolas's Thunder Mind activates!" Another one attacks, inflicting another one damage.

"He succeeds in a chain of Thunder Minds!" Paruko announced, "Eliminator, Glasya Labolas has a Thunder Mind that activates when another monster inflicts damage using Thunder Mind!"

"And I activate Blowout Emperor, Las Volganon's ability! Whenever my Thunder Mind inflicts damage to the opponent, he destroys one monster, size 1 or smaller!" Ikazuchi said as Volganon hits Voremos and destroys him.

"What an amazing chain reaction! Ikazuchi has inflicted 2 damage and opened the center position just by standing there!" Paruko announced.

"I, Gratos, have led the Hundred Demons for years and know all of their abilities. All of this been accounted for." Gratos said, "I pay 3 gauge and Buddycall myself to the center!" He regained one life as the 5 cards from the Drop Zone were sent to his soul.

"Gratos regains one life due to Buddy Gift! And five Black Knights from the Drop Zone go into his soul!" Paruko announced.

"In addition, I call Fourth Knight of the Apocalypse, Thanatos to the left. And now, taste the wrath of my ability!" He aim his arrow for his ability, "Destruction Fang!" He used Abberucia from his soul, "Take out frustration on my prey!" He shoots his arrow as it hits Peluda, destroying him.

"Here it is! By returning soul cards to the bottom of the deck, the player is able to destroy a monster if its size is smaller than the number of those cards! That's Destruction Fang!" Paruko announced, "Now Ikazuchi's center position is wide open!"

"Thanatos, follow me!" Gratos performed a Link Attack as they attacked Ikazuchi.

"Ikazuchi receives massive damage!" Paruko announced as Ikazuchi was dealt with 5 damage. Gao then activated his Buddy Skill.

"Ikazuchi!" He flies up to help.

"No, wait!" Daisuke yelled but then something got into Gao's way.

"I don't think so." Sakuya said.

"We won't let you interfere!" Ges Shido said with Crazed Tenbu.

"What's the point of a fight like this?!" He asked, "Get out of the way, Sakuya! President Shido!"

"Huh? He already knew your identify?" Sakuya asked as Ges Shido is surprised.

"I keep telling you, you've confused me with someone else!" Ges Shido complained. Ikazuchi attacks at Gratos as he destroyed him. But he revived due to Soulguard.

"Once again, Grato remains on the field thanks to Soulguard!" Paruko announced, "Five cards is tough to beat! Seriously tough! Overwhelmingly tough!"

At the shelter, Baku and Kuguru watched the match on the tablet.

"And now, it's Your Move for Gratos!" Paruko announced.

"Who's going to win this fight?" Kuguru asked.

"I can't tell. But probably..." Baku assumed.

"Probably what?"

"Whoever wins... will become the enemy of humanity." Baku said.

"Gratos's vicious assault has brought Ikazuchi down to 1 life left!" Paruko announced, "Is there any way for him to turn this around?" Ikazuchi growled as Gratos stares with his eyes glowed.

"What's wrong, dear Ikazuchi? When you were young, I tricked you into believing I was an Omni Lord, and rewrote your memories. Don't you want revenge?" Gratos asked, "I certainly made you feel passionate hatred for your family and clan." He said as Ikazuchi's hand starts to get electrifying, "However. You're the one who pulled the trigger. You undid the forbidden seal of your own free will, and turned the Fuchigami Clan to stone. It all went well according to my plan." He laughs evilly as Ikazuchi clenched his fist and starts to roar.

"I Buddycall to the right!" He paid 3 gauge, "Devour him! Devour him! Devour him!" He brought out the Yamigedo as it devoured two Hundred Demons, "The embodiment of destruction that will swallow the world whole. Devour the Hundred Demons, and manifest!" A purple thundery tornado appeared as it transforms, "Specter of Darkness Wasteland, O-Yamigedo!"

"I-it's here!" Paruko screamed, "It's become stronger, huger, and grosser than before! Specter of Darkness Wasteland, O-Yamigedo!"

"I regain one life due to Buddy Gift!" Ikazuchi regained one life, "I call Apparition Demon Knight, Lasty to the left!" He called out a Black Knight with demon designs on it, he has violet hair, and a sword that the blade looks like chainsaw, "Go ahead and devour the center monster!" Lasty slashes Gratos as he destroys it.

"Gratos's center position is finally open!" Paruko announced.

"O-Yamigedo will devour your ambitions whole!" Ikazuchi said as O-Yamigedo makes his attack as it bites on Gratos, inflicting 2 damage, "Double Attack!" It uses it claws to attack for another 2 damage, "And this will finish you!" He makes his final blow.

"Thunder Claw, Narukami has a critical of 2! Will this be the decisive blow?!" Paruko announced with a cliffhanger.

"I cast. Midnight Shadow!" Gratos cast as he create illusions of himself to dodge the attack.

"Midnight Shadow is a Counterspell that neutralizes solo attacks! Thunder Claw, Narukami fails to make it marks!" Paruko announced. Ikazuchi got irritated for his failure attack.

"It seems this is the end for you." Gratos said, "I'll finish you off in the next turn."

"Due to Reinforced Formation of Hundred Demons, Glasya Labolas is revived!" Paruko announced as Glasya is revived in the center.

Your Move

"It's useless to protect your center position at this point in the game. If you win, you gain everything. If you lose, you lose everything! Draw!"

"You drew a card!" Ikazuchi knew Gratos would do it, "I'll tell you the conditions for activating O-Yamigedo's Thunder Mind. It's when you draw a card!"

"What?!" Gratos asked as the Yamigedo attacks Gratos, inflicting one damage.

"A Thunder Mind that activates when your opponent draws a card?!" Zanya asked.

"There's no way to block something like that, yo!" Tetsuya said.

"It's impossible to avoid drawing a card! It's literally inescapable!" Rouga said.

"But I still have 1 life left. As long as I don't Charge and Draw..." He recommended to skip.

"Glasya Labolas's Thunder Mind activate!" Ikazuchi said as Glasya brought the Yamigedo creature as it wiped out all of Gratos's life points to 0.

(I: 2/ Item: Narukami/ G: 0: Lasty/Glasya/O-Yamigedo)

(G: 0/ Item: None/ G: ?: None/None/None)

"I lost? It's impossible!" Gratos fell into the city as he fell to the ground.

Game End. Winner: Ikazuchi

"Gratos!" Gratos turned to see Ikazuchi and O-Yamigedo, "You said that when you lose, you lose everything." Gratos panicked as he tries to fly away, "You're the only one..." He remembered his memories.

"Great Omni Lord! What's going on? You told me to do it so I..."

"I was the one controlling your clan." Gratos admitted it.

"You're the only one..."

"From now on, you will live together with Yamigedo!"

"You're the only one!" He yelled angrily.

"You are the flash of lightning that begins things. The thunderclap that ends it all. Yamigedo's Buddy. As Ikazuchi, you will devour the Omni Lords!"

"You're the only one I will never forgive!" He yelled angrily as O-Yamigedo chases after Gratos as he was trying to run away.

"Th-this is madness! I am the Fight Knight of the Apocalypse, who rule over victory and conquest." He said but then O-Yamigedo managed to catch up to him as he opens his mouth and devours Gratos instantly.

"Wh-wh-wh-what's this?! Gratos has... He's been eaten by O-Yamigedo!" Paruko announced.

"Ikazuchi. You..." Gao said.

"It's your turn next." Ikazuchi said.

Spotlight have shown as Daisuke and Ryuusei appears on stage.

"Hey, everybody to more Corner Time!"

"Oh man! Gratos has been eaten! Serves him right since he kidnapped our friends." Ryuusei said.

"Fraid it won't be over yet. The next chapter will be another battle for Gao against Ikazuchi, hopefully things will be alright. Give me a review of what you think and give me good Galactic ideas. Til then bye for now!" They waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
