Silver looked back behind the wheel of Mikes runner, she was closing, fast.
He recalled how they had been stopped when these goons had come up and cut him and Mike off from Dad, then forced them into dueling. Dad and Akiza had stayed on the ground while the woman had activated their weird Speed world that has Orichalcos. Now Mike had gotten the first turn and had ended his turn with only 2 facedowns. Now it was her turn.
He looked at how she was dressed, it was some latex suit with a motorcycle helmet, and he could make out none of her features. She of course rode those green duel runners, though this one sounded different, like the difference between a ford Taurus and a Lamborghini. "I set two cards facedown and end my turn!"

"Activate, Raigeki break! This lets me discard to destroy anything on the field! I destroy your monster." A bolt of lightning shot from the nose of her runner, destroying Shining angel.
Silver looked at his hand and shrugged. "I set a card and end my turn!"
I'm up then! The woman said. I summon Newdoria in attack!
A very ugly hunchback in black armor and spiked green hair rose from the ground.

"Ha!" Silver yelled "Now you can't attack either one!"
"Foolish child." She said. "Who said I'd be attacking?"
"Anyways." Mike said. "I'll finish this quickly! I activate Silvers facedown Speed spell-summon speeder! When I have at least 3 speed counters, I discard two for an extra summon! Come forth! Ljósálfr of the Nordic Alfar!"
A wingless glowing blue fairy with a long tail flew through a ring of light.

Mikes eye glowed pink and the pupil morphed into a symbol. He spun the runner around and threw it in reverse. The woman saw the rune eye and gasped.

"When the doors to the past open, an ancient god opens his bag of tricks.

Once per turn, if your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card when this card declares an attack, you can negate that card's activation and destroy it. If this face-up card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon it during the End Phase. If you do, you can select 1 Trap Card in your Graveyard and add it to your hand.
"Go, trap card!" the woman yelled. "Limit reverse! I can revive any monster with 1000 attack or less! Come forth, Yubel!"
"What?" Mike gasped.
From a black ring, a demon with a female right half and male left half rose.

"Now, attack if you dare! I activate my second trap! Taunt! Now if you attack, you have to attack Yubel!"
Mike cursed and ended his turn.

"Because, if that attack goes though, she destroys Yubel and it comes back even stronger, I activate my facedown! Magic Cylinder!"

The woman seemed to have trouble after the monster hit, "Of course!" Mike thought, "This Orichalcos speed world, she's taking real damage! But why didn't we?" He looked back at Silver, his arm glowed, the birthmark shaped like twin wings showing through his sleeve in a red glow. "So that's it." he thought. "This signer thing confuses me."
The woman grunted. "I set two cards facedown and end my turn, as a cost, I sacrifice Newdoria."
Newdoria was moved in front of Yubel, who destroyed it with a beam from her third eye.
"My turn!" Silver said.

Silver looked at mike, "Can I use your facedown?"
Mike nodded. "As long as you know what you're doing."
"Right! First I set a facedown, then activate Speed spell-Angel baton! I draw two cards and discard one!" After he had done that, "Now I summon Junk Synchron!"
A short orange humanoid robot with a motor on it's back appeared.

"But why?" The woman said.
"Because, now Kuribohs level raises by Shining angels!"
Kuriboh

"Now I tune my lv.3 Junk Synchron to lv.5 Kuriboh!" Junk Synchron pulled a starter cord on the engine and disappeared, transformed into three green rings. Kuriboh floated into the center of the rings and turned into green line-art, 5 stars floating inside. Suddenly a beam of light shot through the rings.
"The forces of Chaos reveal hidden order! The strength of machines unites with the power of the stars! Show your fury! Junk Dragon!"
A large steel dragon with sleek lines came from the beam of light.

When this card is Synchro summoned, you can choose one monster from your extra deck that includes a "Synchron" monster as synchro material and apply it's effect to Junk Dragon.
"Now Junk dragon gains the effect of my Junk Archer! Now Junk Dragon can remove Yubel from play for one turn!"
The air intake on Junk Dragons chest gathered light, then shot a beam which hit Yubel, causing a rift to open and Yubel to be sucked inside.
"Now, Junk dragon, attack Shining angel! Cyber Shot!"
"Cyber shot?" Mike asked. Silver shrugged sheepishly.
Junk dragon fired a beam from its mouth that coursed with electricity, it hit and vaporized Shining angel, the shockwave hit the woman and blew her helmet off, along with sending her runner flying, and she flew from her runner, heading for a very messy landing. Silver had not wanted this to continue, so he had used his signer powers, Junk dragon was no hologram, but a living, breathing monster. (well, it's a machine, but still.)

Suddenly, everything stopped, Mike runner froze, along with the woman's Runner and herself. She wore a ski mask, but Mike was shocked to the core at what he did see.
She had a rune eye.
Her right eye glowed green, the pupil had turned into a symbol that started vertical, then bent twice, forming an upside down triangle with a bit of extra on the bottom. Mike's own rune eye reacted, his eye glowing pink.
She floated to the ground as well as her runner. She got back on. "Nice trick signer, but the Norse gods protect me. Ready to continue?"
Before Silver could answer, Mike said "Go for it." before taking off. He turned back to Silver. "I know she's evil, but you can't go killing people."
"You did." Silver pointed out. Mike started to object, but stopped before saying "Your five, you don't need to be doing things like that. Every time I take a life, I feel as if a bit of me dies. I don't want you to go through that. And don't think I won't tell your father what you did."
Mike turned back to the woman, "Because this kid just tried that, he's ending his turn now."

When a monster you control, except "Infernity Avenger", is destroyed by battle with an opponent's monster and sent to the Graveyard, while you have no cards in your hand, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard.

"When the door to Asgard opens, The ancient war god

Once per turn, you can select 1 face-up Effect Monster your opponent controls. Until the End Phase, that monster's effect(s) is negated and this card gains the negated effect(s). If this face-up card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon it from the Graveyard during the End Phase. If you do, inflict 800 damage to your opponent.
"Go Thor! Attack that dragon!" The monster raised it's hammer and a bolt of lightning shot from it.
"Wrong!" Silver yelled. "I activate my trap! Mirror force!" The bolt hit a wall of light and sizzled out, then a flash of light wiped Thor out.
The woman laughed. "Don't you get it? The gods are immortal! I end my turn!" As she said this, Thor appeared in a bolt of lightning. The lightning splashed out and hit Mikes runner. "And now for my final trap! Damage multiplier! When you take effect damage, it's multiplied by the number of speed counters I have!"
She had 5, so the 800 damage was multiplied to 4000. Even with the signer marks protection, Mike and Silver screamed in pain.

"Next I-" Then Silvers duel disk ejected a card. He pulled it out and looked at it. "What is this?" He said, showing it to Mike.
"Dunno," he said. "I don't even see how you could have a blank card."
"Blank?" Silver said. "It's not blank, watch!"
"I activate Speed spell-Speed fusion!" at the cost of four speed counters, I fuse Junk Dragon to Loki!"
"What?" Mike said, "there is no such card!"
Ignoring him, Silver said

This card can only be fusion summoned with a dragon synchro monster and a "Lord of the Aesir" monster. When this card is summoned, special summon any monster from your deck, ignoring summoning conditions. Any card destroyed is removed from play. Any effect that removes cards from play instead sends them to the graveyard.

Silver stood with his dad, a mere day before. "Son, do you think you can handle the power?"
"Yeah dad. I can control my powers now, thanks to you."
James nodded. "Good, then take care of these." He said as he handed a small metal case to Silver.

"Now Ra! Finish this now!" The Egyptian god flew at Yami, incinerating her. As this happened, the green circle that had surrounded them the entire duel shrunk on Yamis location. But just as the Orichalcos was about to take her, she rode from the flames, her rune eye glowing and turned into green light that shot into the air and back to ground outside the seal. Mike stopped and watched as she solidified and saluted them before turning and riding off. Mike tried to follow her, but she quickly lost them in the city.
Mike stopped the runner and helped Silver off before getting off himself. "So your dad let you have Ra?"
"I know! It's awesome!" Silver yelled. "We kicked her butt too!"
"Yeah…" Mike said, looking at the sky, wondering about that duel, Ragnarok, the fact that he wasn't the only one with a rune eye, the woman called Yami, and what was going on with James and his daughter, Akiza. He hoped they were safe.
