Hello, fair readers! Again, sorry these chapters keep taking so long. I'm trying to make sure they're as good as possible while trying to get them out as soon as possible. A word of warning on this chapter, though: It is very dark, depressing and contains a bit of strong language (enough to still warrant the T rating). Please enjoy.
*Mirror World, N/A*
Spiral, Shroud, Momo, Naoto, Aura, Asuka, Hikari, Chan, Chun and Pulse have all entered the mirror world to chase after the person posing as the class representative and rescue Etsuko, whom the 'class rep' has taken hostage. This time however, there appeared to be some sort of long bridge covered in fog, so what was on the other side could not be seen. They checked the elevator and there weren't any new floors that came into existence. That meant that there seemed to be only one way to go.
"I can't believe he took Etsuko…" Momo looked down.
"Then again, this person DID threaten to take her life in that letter Spiral got from the culprit." Shroud pointed out. "But I think I understand the gravity of this situation."
Momo was a bit surprised that Shroud said something like that, but she didn't show it and then looked toward Spiral. "This must be especially hard on Spiral. He's always been very attached to her and he even cried when she got taken."
"All right, children." Pulse started to speak. "Our culprit's identity has been compromised and has taken a hostage! My daughter… Our objectives are as follows! First and foremost, ensure the hostage's survival! Second, apprehend the 'class representative'! I'm pretty sure you all know that, but I had to inform just in case! Any questions?"
There were no questions asked and the entire group walked toward the bridge.
After a bit of walking, the end of the bridge was in sight. At the end of the bridge, they witnessed a horrible sight. It looked like a city, completely malformed with buildings bent over and twisted in impossible ways, street signs split in half and a hue of red blanketed over the area. As soon as they got there, a man walked up to the group. He had very short brown hair and he was wearing the traditional school inform, the same the class rep was wearing.
"I presume THIS is what you really look like." Pulse said to the strange man.
"Wait… It can't be…" Spiral muttered. "Momo, do you recognize him? !"
"Yeah, I can't believe it, either." Momo responded,
"Spiral, Momo, who is this guy?" Hikari asked.
"Guys, remember when we told you about the person who said two completely different things to us when I left Momo's family and they were killed?" Spiral asked. "This is Daisuke."
"Heh, I'm thankful for you remembering me, but I'm not thankful for the fact you're still alive." Daisuke glared at Spiral.
"And why is it that you want me dead?" Spiral asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Daisuke began to speak. "Because you're nothing but a goody-two-shoes."
"And that drives you nuts because…" Spiral trailed off so Daisuke could elaborate.
"I've had this belief for quite some time now." Daisuke began his elaboration. "The idea of balance, between order and chaos. Order being the lawful and righteous and the chaotic being the exact opposite. Both must exist equally in order to remain in balance. That balance must exist within every person. In other words, everyone must lie within the grey area of this black and white spectrum. That is what I like to see. You, on the other hand, are far too close to the white end of the spectrum. Even though this world has revealed that even you have a bit of chaos within you, you're still within the spectrum of absolute order. That is why I don't like you. You're too much of a hero to be within the ideal society."
"Then why did you involve my friends into this? !" Spiral continued to question.
"Simply killing you would not be enough to make you suffer." Daisuke answered. "You clearly show much more concern for other people than yourself. That's why I pushed your friends into the mirror."
"And you did THAT by using the transformation ninjutsu you learned from one of the scrolls you took from my grandfather!" Momo stated.
"Correct." Daisuke confirmed her suspicions. "I took two scrolls from that geezer. One being the transformation ninjutsu scroll you mentioned. The other was what allowed me to enter this world. We look into mirrors every single day and each time, it records our actions, personalities and our suffering. When each of you entered this world, it caused a reaction that agitated your suffering, your Demons. The Demons wish to express themselves as who they truly are. In order to do that, it must shed the one thing that can stop it. That's why your Demons wanted their host dead. They wanted to be free from their prison and torment. They wanted the Hell to end."
"It was you who killed my grandfather, wasn't it? !" Momo started to become agitated. "Why did you do it? !"
"Ah, yes, he got in my way, so as he was about to strike, I simply pulled out a mirror and fell right in with no way out." Daisuke answered. "Quite embarrassing, actually. An experienced ninja falling for a simple trap like that."
Momo clenched her teeth and fists to keep her anger under control.
"As for Madaro, I needed a guinea pig to once again test my suspicions about this world." Daisuke continued. "So I asked to meet me in his office later that day, took a mirror with me to the meeting and shoved him right in."
"You also pretended to be the class rep after you killed him and hid his body!" Naoto assumed.
"That is also correct." Daisuke confirmed. "Before the year started, I killed him so no one would be suspicious seeing two of the same person. I hid his body in a ventilation shaft in the men's restroom so the smell wouldn't be noticed. I guess I miscalculated that."
"How? !" Momo shouted. "How could you just kill people like that? !"
"It was all a part of the plan." Daisuke calmly responded. "Everything was calculated up until the point you discovered my true identity. I wanted to ensure that Spiral suffered for the loss of those he holds dear. After he witnessed everyone close to him die, I would kill him so I could finally fulfill my mission. However, the bitch principal had Spiral rescue his friends before they were killed. Simply placing Spiral's friends in this world wasn't enough, so I made that warning letter so Spiral would enter the mirror world and get killed by his Demon. Otherwise, I would kill his sister. Due to her young age and mind, she doesn't have a Demon yet so I would have to resort to more blunt means of death."
"So you were willing to kill anyone just so you could make Spiral suffer?" Asuka stated. "Just because he acts too much like a hero? ! What kind of fucked up logic IS THAT? !"
"You son of a bitch!" Spiral shouted. "What you've done is unforgivable! I don't care if we knew each other in the past! I will NOT hesitate to take you down!"
"… Not here, though." Daisuke closed his eyes. "See, I'm not really here right now. This world's allowing me to project an image of myself that can see and hear you and let me respond to you all accordingly. If you wish to challenge me, you'll have to come in deeper into this Hell. If you value the girl's life, you'll come to the top of that tower."
Daisuke's projection pointed to the twisted towering cylindrical building in the distance and then vanished. Everyone had an angered and determined look on their face.
*I promise that I will do everything I can to defeat Daisuke and save Etsuko, no matter what!* Spiral thought to himself.
They managed to make their way inside the tower and they had to walk up several flights of stairs.
"Why couldn't we just take the elevator?" Naoto questioned.
"It didn't work." Shroud answered.
As they made their way up the stairs, something caught Pulse's eye and she started to bolt off ahead.
"Hey!" Spiral called out. "What's going on?"
Spiral and the others ran after her and when they finally reached where Pulse had stopped, something was there that they didn't expect to see. It was a girl with blonde hair, stuck to the wall by some sort of strange black vines. The only part of her body that wasn't completely wrapped by those vines was her head.
"What the hell is this?" Naoto gasped.
"Who is she?" Asuka asked.
"I've never seen her before in my life." Pulse said. "Do any of you know her?"
Everyone just shook their heads. Asuka tried to pull the vines off, but they wouldn't budge one bit.
"What is this shit?" Asuka wondered.
"It's not any form of plant life I've ever seen." Shroud stated.
"Great! If Shroud doesn't know, then we'll never know." Naoto said.
Pulse then placed her hand on the girl's neck to check for a pulse.
"She's still alive." Pulse told them. "We don't have the means to free her right now, so we'll have to come back for her later."
Everyone had to continue walking up the stairs with the image of that trapped girl going through their minds right now.
After trekking their way through the distorted tower, the group finally made it to the top where Daisuke said he would be waiting for them. And there he was, holding Etsuko by her neck.
"Etsuko!" Spiral called out to her.
"Spiral!" Etsuko called back. "Help me!"
"Let her go, Daisuke! She's got nothing to do with this!" Spiral demanded. "I'll Duel with you after you've let her go!"
Daisuke just stood silent for a moment.
"Very well, then." Daisuke surprisingly agreed to the terms.
He pushed Etsuko out of his reach, but she was able to regain her balance and ran toward Spiral. Spiral got down on his knee as Etsuko ran toward him. As soon as Etsuko got to Spiral, Spiral felt a shot of pain in his left shoulder. It was almost as if someone had stabbed him with a spear. Spiral looked down and saw some sort of black shadow thing that had stabbed through Etsuko's body and Spiral's left shoulder. He looked up to find out that the source of the shadow was some sort of vine-like shadow extending from Daisuke's right arm. Daisuke that raised his right arm and the shadow slashed upward. Blood came out from the wounds that were inflicted on Spiral and Etsuko and they both fell to the ground.
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Spiral shouted in pain.
"SPIRAL! ETSUKO!" Pulse screamed in shock.
There was a huge gash on Spiral's shoulder that nearly went as deep as his bones. Etsuko's wound was much worse as there was a large slash across the right side of her torso.
"DAMN IT!" Spiral cursed. "ETSUKO!"
Spiral looked at Etsuko's face, which started to become pale and he started to tear up.
"They need medical attention, immediately!" Pulse exclaimed as she turned toward the rest of the group. "We need some of you to get them out of here and to a hospital! The rest of us will take on-!"
"I don't think so!" Daisuke shouted.
More shadow vines came out from the sides of the building and completely surrounded the top of the building in a vine dome. Then vines completely covered the door they came out of to get to the roof. There was no way off the roof of the tower now.
"I'm not gonna let you do that!" Daisuke proclaimed. "They're gonna bleed out and die! There's nothing preventing their deaths now!"
Aura just looked at Spiral and Etsuko as the puddles of blood started to expand.
"Wait! I think I have an idea!" Aura said as she poked around her Deck. "Remember when Naoto was able to use one of his monsters to help us? A thought occurred to me that I want to try out." Aura pulled out the card that represented her Spirit. "My Spirit's effect allows it to heal Life Points, so maybe I can use it to save Spiral and Etsuko!"
Daisuke heard what she said and vines started to come out where Etsuko and Spiral.
"I WON'T LET YOU!" Daisuke shouted.
Spiral noticed that the vines were about to encroach him and Etsuko and started to reach for his Deck. Before the vines could completely imprison him, Spiral managed to pull out his card.
"Brave!"
Spiral's Spirit Card came out and slashed the vines. This upset Daisuke and then he clenched his right fist. Etsuko was completely encased in the vines and when Brave tried to cut them, the vines deflected his sword strikes.
"I hardened the vines so you would have no chance to rescue her!" Daisuke stated. "If I can't kill them both, I can at least kill one!"
"Shit!" Spiral cursed as he walked over to his friends, cradling his left arm in fear of the possibility that gravity might cause it to tear it off completely.
"Hold on, Spiral!" Aura quickly held up her Spirit Card. "Come, Sakuyo-Hime!"
The beautiful maiden that Aura's Demon transfigured into had appeared and cherry blossom petals surrounded Spiral. When the petals began to float away from Spiral, his wound had vanished.
"Let's hurry and beat him so we can get Aura out of here!" Spiral suggested as he went up with his Duel Disk raised. "It'd be quicker if I take him on alone! You guys just try your best to get past those vines!"
They all nodded and Brave returned to Spiral's Deck.
"Are you sure you want to take me on alone?" Daisuke asked.
"There isn't time for an extended Duel." Spiral pointed out. "If I want Etsuko to survive, I have to Duel alone."
Both Spiral and Daisuke prepared their Duel Disks.
"Let's Duel!" Both of them shouted as they started their Duel.
Spiral (LP 4000) Daisuke (LP 4000)
The rest of the group had reached the bundle of vines that had encroached Etsuko.
"I'll start!" Spiral drew his first card. "I summon Legendary Guardian Force Breaker (Lv.4 1900/1100) in attack mode! And now I can Special Summon the Tuner Legendary Guardian Flame Lancer (Lv.3 1200/700)! I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!"
Daisuke then drew his first card. "I summon Infection Demon (Lv.3 1300/1300) in attack mode!"
A humanoid-shaped shadow with disgusting-looking arms appeared on the field.
"When I Normal Summon Infection Demon, I can halve the attack points of a monster you control and negate its effects." Daisuke pointed out.
One of Infection Demon's arms extended onto Force Breaker and he became infected by the same thing that was infecting the Demon's arms.
"Infection Demon, attack Flame Lancer now!" Daisuke declared his attack.
Infection Demon took its other arm and infected Flame Lancer to the point of destruction, destroying it and inflicting Spiral with 100 points of damage.
Spiral (LP 3900) Daisuke (LP 4000)
"Now Infection Demon has attacked, I can Special Summon from my hand Demonic Epidemic (Lv.3 800/1700)!" Daisuke continued.
Another monster like Infection Demon appeared, only it looked like it was incredibly sick.
"When I Special Summon Demonic Epidemic by its own effect, we both take 800 points of damage." Daisuke said.
Demonic Epidemic shot green bile at Spiral and Daisuke, inflicting them with 800 points of damage.
Spiral (LP 3100) Daisuke (LP 3200)
"I'll end my turn by placing two cards face-down!" Daisuke finished.
Spiral then drew his next card. "I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Flame Lancer! Now I'll tune Flame Lancer with Force Breaker to Synchro Summon Legendary Guardian Impact (Lv.7 2800/2000)! Next, I Normal Summon Legendary Guardian Setsuka (Lv.4 1700/1600)! Since I Normal Summoned her while I control another Legend-type card, she can destroy a card on the field!"
Setsuka slashed Demonic Epidemic and destroyed it.
"Impact, attack Infection Demon!" Spiral declared his attack.
Impact sent his fist right through Infection Demon and destroyed it, inflicting Daisuke with 1500 points of damage.
Spiral (LP 3100) Daisuke (LP 1700)
"And when Impact destroys a card in battle, you take damage equal to that monster's attack points!" Spiral pointed out as Daisuke was inflicted with 1300 more points of damage. "Now, Setsuka, finish him off!"
Spiral (LP 3100) Daisuke (LP 400)
"Now that my Life Points are below 1000, I can activate the Continuous Trap Quarantine Zone!" Daisuke responded to the attack.
A giant wire fence appeared between the duelists' sides of the field.
"As long as this card is out, you can't attack!" Daisuke explained. "Now I activate my other Continuous Trap Underworld Cycle! Just wait until the end of your turn to see what this does!"
"I'll place one more card face-down and end my turn!" Spiral concluded.
"Underworld Cycle now activates!" Daisuke pointed out. "Any Demon or Demonic monsters destroyed this turn are Special Summoned again and you take 700 points of damage for each monster revived by this effect! Prepare to face the flames of Hell!"
Infection Demon and Demonic Epidemic came back from Daisuke's Graveyard and the flames of the underworld hit Spiral, inflicting him with a total of 1400 points of damage.
Spiral (LP 1700) Daisuke (LP 400)
"And it's my turn now!" Daisuke drew his next card. "I Normal Summon Demonic Plague (Lv.3 1200/1200)!"
A third humanoid shadow that looked withered and rotted appeared on the field.
"Next, I activate the Spell Card Severe Suffering!" Daisuke continued his turn. "I pay half of my Life Points and then the Levels of all Demon and Demonic monsters I control are doubled! During the End Phase, they are banished! Now I overlay my 3 Level 6 Demons to Xyz Summon a Demon the likes of which pale in comparison to the ones you've fought before!"
Spiral (LP 1700) Daisuke (LP 200)
The three Demons merged with Daisuke and he began to transform and enlarge. When the transformation stopped, he was a huge, muscular humanoid shadow with the same shadow vines Daisuke called forth earlier surrounding his arms. He was so big, that he had to crouch to his knees and squat in order to keep the vine dome intact.
"Behold! I am Batrocre (Rank 6 3800/3000)!" Daisuke said in a possessed voice. "This is my Demon form! Now I activate my ability! By removing a Xyz Material Monster, I can destroy one of your monsters and inflict you with damage equal to half of its attack points!"
Batrocre crushed one of the green orbs surrounding him and then slammed his fist onto Impact, destroying him and inflicting Spiral with 1400 points of damage.
Spiral (LP 300) Daisuke (LP 200)
"Now it's time to crush that little samurai of yours and then you!" Daisuke shouted was about to slam his fist on top of Setsuka.
"I activate the Trap Negate Attack!" Spiral retaliated.
"You got lucky!" Batrocre glared at Spiral. "I end my turn and now the rest of my Xyz Materials are banished."
Spiral drew his next card and then looked over to where his friends were. They still couldn't get through the vines.
*Damn!* Spiral thought to himself. *I was hoping they'd get through by now! Just hold on, Etsuko! Big bro is coming!*
"It's hopeless!" Batrocre stated. "Those vines are indestructible! The only way to get rid of them is to defeat me! And even if you do manage to defeat me, she's probably dead by now!"
Spiral then started to look real angry. "Daisuke… If Etsuko dies… I AM GOING TO KILL YOU! ! !"
Everyone was able to hear that and some of Spiral's friends started to look worried and concerned.
"First, I activate the Spell Card Memorial of Legends!" Spiral started his turn. "First, I banish a Legend-type card from my Graveyard and then send any number of monsters from my Deck to my Graveyard! For each monster I send to the Graveyard by this effect, I can summon the same number of Legendary Memorial Tokens (Lv.? 0/0) and their Level is equal to the Level of the card I banished! I banish my Level 7 Impact and send three monsters from my Deck to the Graveyard so I can summon 3 Level 7 Legendary Memorial Tokens!"
Three statues of Impact appeared in front of Spiral.
"Next, I overlay my 3 Level 7 Memorials!" Spiral shouted.
The three Legendary Memorial Tokens turned into streams of light that entered a cosmic vortex that appeared in front of him.
"I Xyz Summon Brave, the Hero of Legends (Rank 7 3800/3200)!" Spiral had summoned the card he obtained after facing his Demon. "Now I detach one of his Xyz Materials to activate one of his abilities! To destroy up to two cards on your side of the field!"
"Ha! I can't be destroyed by effects! You can only destroy me in battle and can only be done by a monster with more attack points than me!" Batrocre laughed.
Brave then dashed toward the Quarantine Zone fence and cut it down in one strike. Then it followed up by dashing toward and slashing the Underworld Cycle Trap in two.
"And Brave's not done yet!" Spiral continued. "Brave can detach another of his Xyz Materials and he gains attack points equal to that of another Legend-type card I control! Setsuka, lend Brave your strength!"
Setsuka moved to Brave's side and they both readied their swords.
"Now… end this…" Spiral declared his attack.
The two charged toward Batrocre (AKA Daisuke) and were prepared to stab him in the face. The two warriors stabbed Batrocre in the face and destroyed him, reducing his Life Points to 0. The vines began to disintegrate, as did Batrocre's body as it returned to Daisuke's original form. Daisuke was left on his back and was completely immobile. As soon as Spiral saw the vines vanish, he ran toward where Etsuko was and kneeled down to her side.
Spiral (LP 300) Daisuke (LP 200)
"Etsuko!" Spiral said to her. "It's okay. Big brother's here now!"
Etsuko looked like she could barely breath and her face was almost completely pale. Spiral held up her head so that it was facing him.
"Just hold on, Etsuko!" Spiral pleaded. "We'll get you out of here! Once we get you to a hospital, everything's going to be fine!"
Etsuko looked straight into Spiral's eyes and she started to cry.
"… big… bro…" Etsuko gasped to say as tears began to roll down her eyes. "… I'm… scared… I… can't… breath…"
"Just take it easy." Spiral told her. "You'll be okay. I promise."
"…" Etsuko simply continued to tear up.
Aura tried to pull out her Spirit card as soon as possible, but as soon as she did, Etsuko stopped breathing. Spiral himself started to tear up, refusing to accept what had just happened.
"Etsuko… Etsuko!" Spiral tried to call to her. "ETSUKO!"
Spiral couldn't help but burst into depressing tears and he wasn't the only one crying. Hikari put her mouth over her face and start sobbing. Aura and Momo started to sob as well. Asuka just slammed her fists onto the roof and created a hole where her fists landed. Naoto and Shroud couldn't bear to look at the depressing sight, so they just turned their heads away (They were crying on the inside). Pulse walked over to Spiral and her eyes also began to tear up.
"I… I can't believe this…" Pulse muttered.
"Finally… my mission is done."
Spiral looked toward where the voice came from and saw that Daisuke was still conscious.
"That is the consequence for being a hero." Daisuke said. "It is that care for others and little regard for your own being that has led to this outcome. If you were just a little more selfish, this would never have happened."
Spiral gently lay Etsuko's lifeless body down and began to walk towards Daisuke's limp body. He pulled Daisuke by the collar of his shirt and started repeatedly punching him in the face.
"AAAAAGGHH!" Spiral screamed at the top of his lungs in anger.
Eventually, Spiral stopped punching him, tossed his body back onto the ground and stomped on Daisuke's chest. Spiral stopped when he heard something. He looked around and saw four-legged shadow monsters come from the sides of the building.
"Hahahahaha!" Daisuke laughed maniacally. "Looks like the Demons want my wishes to be completely fulfilled! They're coming to devour your souls! Slaughter them!"
The Demons then began to pounce and everyone prepared to defend themselves. However, the Demons ran right past them and surrounded Spiral and Daisuke. Nobody was sure what was going on right now, so Spiral stepped away from Daisuke to see if the Demons were focused on him. Spiral walked away enough of a distance to realize that the Demons weren't turning their heads as Spiral moved.
"Wait, what are you doing? !" Daisuke questioned the Demons. "You're supposed to follow MY orders! Kill THEM, not me! Spiral, you wouldn't let an old friend get killed, would you? !"
"… You're right, I wouldn't leave a friend for dead." Spiral said.
Spiral then turned around and walked away. Daisuke's eyes, once filled with cold and anger, were now filled with fear. The Demons then pounced on Daisuke's body and started tearing his body apart, limb from limb. One Demon had latched its mouth onto Daisuke's head and was trying to pull it off his torso. The whole group watched in surprise, horror and a bit of relief as Daisuke was brutally devoured by the Demons. After the mauling was finished, the Demons dispersed and left the area completely. Spiral then went over to Etsuko's body, picked it up and started to walk toward the door leading to the stairs. Everyone else started to follow behind him down the tower's staircase.
As they continued down the staircase, Naoto, Shroud and Pulse stopped at where they first found the unconscious girl. She must have dropped onto the floor after Daisuke had been defeated. Without the vines covering the rest of her body, everyone could see the purple striped shirt and blue jeans she was wearing. She appeared to have bruises all over her body. The three of them looked down at her.
"Now that she's been freed from those vines, what do you think we should do with her?" Naoto asked.
"Since Daisuke was in control of those vines, we can assume she was an enemy of his or something close to that." Pulse stated as she picked her up and carried her over her shoulder. "When we get back to the real world, let's take her to the school infirmary."
Pulse started to walk away and Naoto and Shroud followed them out.
