"Zorc, our cards, and our desire to beat you will guarantee us victory. I set one card facedown, and attack you directly with Earthbound Immortal Uru." Roman said as his spider shot webs at Zorc reducing his score by 3000 points.

"That was a foolish decision, I still have my Diabound, and since he resists monster effects, he can strike down your Uru." Zorc said.

"Maybe, but in case you've forgotten, it's my turn now."Aporia said calmly.

Zorc life points 9000 speed counters 9 Yusei life points 4000 speed counters 9 Roman life points 4000 speed counters 9 Aporia life points 4000 speed counters 9: "My draw, first I play the card I added to my hand during Roman's move, Meklord Reconstruction, I send a Meklord Emperor on my field to the graveyard, and I get to summon a new one from my deck." Aporia said while Wisel began to disassemble itself. "Now come forth my ultimate monster, Meklord Astro Mekanikle, my new meklord makes Wisel look weak by comparison, I attack your Diabound with Mekanikle."

"Foolish mortal, when he is sent to the graveyard, Diabound allows me to place three Millennium Item cards into the Millennium Tablet, and I choose the eye, scales, and ring." Zorc said as three more items placed themselves into the stone.

"Guys, this is bad that stone only needs two more items." Leo said nervously.

"Yeah, but that guy still has to wait one turn before playing whatever it is that tablet will summon, so as long as they beat him next round, the duel is over." Jack said.

"Unfortunately I doubt they can, this guy has moves and cards I've never seen." Akiza said. "Let's just hope that whatever happens Yusei can figure out a solution."

"I end my turn, but our true strength is about to appear, Yusei it's your move." Aporia said while Yusei raced in front of Aporia and Roman.

Zorc life points 8500 speed counters 10 Yusei life points 4000 speed counters 10 Roman life points 4000 speed counters 10 Aporia life points 4000 speed counters 10: "Alright, now since Aporia gave me these two monsters, I tune Turbo Synchron with Turbo Booster in order to synchro summon Formula Synchron." Yusei said as the synchro tuner appeared on the field. "Now, since you aren't holding me back anymore, I tune Formula Synchron with Stardust Dragon in order to accel synchro Shooting Star Dragon." With those words Yusei warped away and suddenly returned with his accel synchro monster.

"Call whatever you wish, this duel is almost over anyway." Zorc said as a faint black light began to spill out of the Millennium Tablet. "I play the effect of the Shabti of Darkness in my graveyard, I remove it from play in order to add the Millennium Rod to my tablet." Zorc said as the sixth item entered the stone.

"Guys, the spirits are saying that stone is where Zorc himself comes from, it might be a way to summon himself as a monster." Luna said.

"What, that's great, with all the power he has normally who knows how strong a card version will be." Jack said punching the wall.

"Look, Yusei is an amazing duelist, and if I won, then Yusei, Aporia, and Roman should be able to as well." Leo said. "So we need to trust in them."

"Leo's right, the duel is far from over." Crow said as everyone nodded.

"You said any monster we call will be a waste, but I have a plan." Yusei said with pure focus in his eyes. "I set one card facedown, and end my turn." Now all I can do is hope that I draw that card on my next turn, he thought.

Zorc life points 8500 speed counters 11 Yusei life points 4000 speed counters 11 Roman life points 4000 speed counters 11 Aporia life points 4000 speed counters 11: "My move, I place the final item in the tablet, the Millennium Puzzle." Zorc said, and as soon as the puzzle entered the tablet, the stone exploded. "Now I get to summon my counterpart in this game, Zorc – Lord of Darkness." While saying this, a smaller version of Zorc appeared and stared at the three people in front of it.

"Well, that thing certainly is powerful." Roman said.

"Well, it has another aspect to its power, it attacks all monsters you control once each." Zorc said as his monster created three fireballs and aimed at Uru, Mekanikle, and Shooting Star Dragon.

"Shooting Star Dragon negates the attack thrown his way." Yusei said as Shooting Star Dragon vanished causing the attack to miss.

"Meklord Astro Mekanikle can negate his destruction by removing the Wisel Guard in my graveyard from play." Aporia said as a shield blocked the fireball.

"Well, at least Uru will be destroyed." Zorc said as the fireball launched at Uru. "As for inability to be attacked, Zorc – Lord of Darkness negates that effect."

"This is not good, I have no move to stop this attack." Roman said as the fireball approached.

"Roman, use my card." Yusei yelled.

"Yusei? I activate the trap card, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow, this blocks your attack and set's itself back on the field." Roman said as Yusei's card saved Uru.

"Somehow they got through the turn, but that monster still has 5000 attack points, and who knows what other effects it has." Jack said.

"Jack, why do you think Yusei is smiling?" Luna asked.

"Maybe he has a plan." Akiza said, "It has to be that."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX

"Roman, I have an idea, but I need to make sure you and Aporia keep your cards on the field." Yusei said while rounding a corner.

"Alright, we'll follow your lead Yusei." Aporia said.

Zorc life points 8500 speed counters 12 Yusei life points 4000 speed counters 12 Roman life points 4000 speed counters 12 Aporia life points 3000 speed counters 12: "My move, I set one card, and attack you directly with Uru." Roman said as his Earthbound Immortal struck Zorc again.

"You really enjoy angering me don't you, I play Zorc – Lord of Darkness' effect, when I get hit by a direct attack I inflict 1000 points of damage to all opposing players." Zorc said as pillars of fire enveloped Yusei, Roman, and Aporia.

"I end my turn." Roman said as the flames receded.

Zorc life points 5500 speed counters 12 Yusei life points 3000 speed counters 12 Roman life points 3000 speed counters 12 Aporia life points 3000 speed counters 12: "My move, and I set one card, that ends my turn." Aporia said, "Yusei your turn may decide the fate of the world."

Zorc life points 5500 speed counters 12 Yusei life points 3000 speed counters 12 Roman life points 3000 speed counters 12 Aporia life points 2000 speed counters 12: "My draw, perfect. I play the speed spell, Speed Fusion, now I merge Aporia's Meklord Astro Mekanikle, with Roman's Earthbound Immortal Uru. In order to summon, Earthbound Meklord Spider Mech." Yusei said as the new monster appeared.

(Zorc called on a monster that represents himself, but in retaliation Yusei combined the powers of Earthbound Immortal Uru and Meklord Astro Mekanikle. Next chapter Earthbound Meklord Spider Mech will reveal its effects, and the duel will reach its ultimate conclusion. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
