The Fall of the Gods

"Hey, Junk, have you been able to keep in touch with the rest of the Synchrons?" Leo asked.

"No, not in a while. I've heard that Nitro and Turbo Synchron began a shop that makes Duel Runners, since there's a demand for them. But I am not sure if they'll make it since they're tuners like me." Junk replied. The group were in a town not too far from Junk Synchron's old home. He and Leo were shopping for paint for the two runners that the Synchron made himself. Junk Synchron decided on four different colors and purchased them. The two returned to a junk yard that everyone else was waiting at.

" Rose, ready to help me paint your runner?" Junk Synchron asked. Rose nodded eagerly in response. The two tuners took off their scarves and handed them to Yusei. "Please hold onto my scarf, I don't want it ruined." they both said in unison.

"Okay…" Yusei said with a blank look as the two tuners ran off. Shield Warrior laughed at what he saw.

"Eager to get started." he said with enthusiasm.

"Yep." Leo said, grinning.

After an hour later, the Synchron reappeared, walking with his runner, which was the same shade of violet blue as Junk Warrior's as well as orange stripes visible on it.. Rose rode hers into view, which was Black and Red in coloring.

"I present the Scrap and Grudge Runners." Junk Synchron said

"Wow…" Akari said in awe.

"Agreed." Yusei said, impressed in the color schemes.

"I love this runner, it's really fast." Rose said in pure bliss.

Akari felt a twinge in her chest, and fear began to swell up inside her.

"HORUS, NO!!!!" She screamed in agony, the whites of her eyes becoming black. Yusei and Luna's birthmarks glowed.

"Yusei, what's the meaning of this?" Luna asked, a little frightened. Soon, Yusei, Luna and Mana's eyes changed color as well.

"What am I seeing?" Luna asked in a panicked tone, completely overwhelmed by what she was now seeing.

---------------- -------------------- - - ------------------------- - -

Horus The Black Flame Dragon, one of the Dominion Gods, was screaming in pain, his silver body slowly turning black as a dark fog enveloped him. A dark figure appeared, shrouded by the fog and began laughing.

"With this power, I'm even stronger than the Dominion gods themselves!!" the voice said before resuming the laughing.

Horus screeched in pain as now most of his body was black, his head remaining silver.

"Akari, any remaining Elemental Heroes, as well anyone and everyone who is hearing this right now, please hear me closely, The gods have fallen to the Dark Shroud, We've been either sealed or corrupted. The Dark Gods have awaken. So please, unite ALL who remember the TRUE events prior to the Great Reversal and stop them….!" he said before he became completely corrupted.

-------------------- -- - -- -----------

All those who had their eyes turned black returned back to normal.

"What was that?" Rose asked in complete shock

"That was Horus, the black flame dragon." Bubbleman said. "He was a Dominion god, one of the guardians of the Dominion's existence."

"But what did he mean those who'd remember the events prior to the Great Reversal?" Luna asked now.

"What is this Great Reversal anyway?" Leo asked.

"There was a dilemma as bad as this before, but it gotten too out of hand, so, as of a result, there was a reversal of time and changed history. All those that had played a major role to the events are able to remember bits of those memories." Mana answered both of the twin's questions at once.

Yusei nodded in acknowledgement.

"So what are we gonna do?" Leo asked.

"I don't know…" Rose said in response.

A loud roar of an engine was able to be heard as Axora rolled into view.

"I can tell you what we're gonna do." he said in a harsh tone.

"Axora…" Akari said with venom, glaring at the fiend.

"I can understand your hatred for me, but for now, we must get out of here." Axora explained as he pointed to a violet-black fog that was rolling in. "Don't let it touch you, or else you're one of the Fallen."

Axora revved up the engine and rode off. Everyone looked as he was leaving them. Speed warrior grabbed Leo and began skating in Axora's direction. Yusei got onto the Synchron's duel runner, picked up the tuner and started the runner before riding off with Rose on hers with Luna as her passenger . Akari took to the sky with Quillbolt Hedgehog while Mana placed a hand on Sheild warrior and the two teleported after Mana performed a quick chant.

A pair of monsters watched what was going on from within the mist. One roared while the other stood silent.

--------------------- - ----------

"It seems like the party has begun" Inferno Wing said in an amused tone as she watched what happened in a pool of water..

"I agree." Infernal Gainer said to his fellow Evil Hero.

"Silence fools" a voice boomed from the shadows.

Inferno Wing and Infernal Gainer turned around and bowed down.

"Forgive us , my lord" Inferno Wing pleaded.

The voice's owner ignored the apology. " The signers had forced us to take more drastic measures. But I still want them to pay dearly for preventing the underworld to arise into the human world."

"I understand my lord." Infernal Gainer said, bowing still.

"Begone," the Phantom of Chaos said. The two Evil Heroes slowly rose to their feet and left the chamber.

"I know that the Earthbound Immortals lost to the Signer's Dragons, but where they failed, I succeeded." the voice said as some lights appeared, showing an unconscious Ancient Fairy Dragon and Red Dragon Archfiend bound to walls, their wings and mouths bound by chains.

"But there's only one problem I have. Stardust Dragon seems to have hidden itself while Black Rose Dragon has been able to hold her own ground against my minions. The fifth dragon seems to have left this world already. I can assimilate the Red Dragon Archfiend if I wanted to, but I won't, not just yet. I just defeated the Dominion Gods themselves for one reason."

The phantom took on the shape of a Red Eyes Black Dragon before expanding the wings. "I will succeed , no matter who or what stands in my way!"

Surprised about Axora's actions? The next chapter will explain more about his reasons for what he did.

At first I originally thought about having the Evil Heroes being the ones responsible, but decided that they seem more suited to be more like generals in an army. As for the Phantom, it's going to play a major role.
