Good evening folks, and welcome to yet another episode of "Enter the Orichalcos!" Now, for those who didn't read the last episode, it went something like this:
Big & Shinji arrived in Shinji's dimension, but Shinji's father, Commander Ikari, ordered them both drowned. However, Big somehow knew something was wrong & busted them both out of Unit-01's entry-plug, as they both tried to escape only to run into an Orichalcos Soldier, who in turn, soon challenged Big to a duel & lost thanks to E-Hero Bladedge! Now, realizing Big is an ally, it's time for Shinji to tell NERV what happened while he was gone for the last month...
Episode 5 Attack of the 150 ft. Necroface!
A few days have passed since the events of the last episode, but since then, Big has stepped up Shinji's training...
"ARG!" went Shinji, as the monster in front of him, a man with a small sword, but was defending himself with a big shield, or in other words, Big Shield Gardna (4-star/ 2600 DEF), was destroyed by a creature in a silverish-suit with yellow strips, long wings, a silver helmet covering his face, and a blaster for a right hand, otherwise known as E-Hero Tempest (8-star/ 2800 ATK), as Big(2100 LP) soon asked him "Give up yet?", but Shinji(1200 LP) soon shakes his head & replies "No way!" Big nods & says "Good! So far, you have the determination of a duelist, but that alone will not bring you victory!" Shinji seemed confused, as he asked "Why? I mean, isn't determination all you need?" Big shook his head & replied "No, it isn't! Although determination is a good thing, too much of it can lead to stubborness, but too little of it can lead to self-doubt. Therefore, a duelist requires the right amount in order to be prepared in the psychological sense!" Shinji soon said "Oh, but does that apply to life as well?" Big nods & replies "In a way, it does because without determination, people, humans or not, can never be able to achieve their goals! However, with too much of it, that same thing can lead to trouble in the nearby future!" Shinji nods in agreement, as Big soon asks "Now then, I believe I'll end my turn with a face down & turn it over to you!" as a card appears in front of Big!
Shinji soon draws a card, as Big thought's are a little like this:' Ever since I met Shinji, he's emerged from that psychological cocoon of his, and now he has both the determination, confidence, and skills needed to become a true duelist! Add that with the respect he has shown towards his deck, and he might be just as good as the King of Games, but maybe coming to his world might make him retreat back into that cocoon of his! So, until I can fully remove that psychological problem of his, I'll have to be really careful with how I approach this! '
As for Shinji, as he looks at Big, his thoughts are a little like this:' I've come a long way since I began this journey! Because of everyone around me, except father, my Hedgehog's Dilemma has died down & I'm saying "sorry" less & less! Pretty soon, my insecurities will finally be gone & I'll finally be normal! To you, though...Big...thank you for helping me become stronger as well! Thanks to you, as well as this deck, I can finally start seeing my life have a happy ending! Maybe what Mr. Kaji said before about "Not deserving to be happy"...maybe he was wrong after all! '
"I'm waiting!" Big says, as he adds "Are you getting 'cold feet' on me, Shinji?" as Shinji replies "No! I'm just taking my time!" Big nods, as Shinji soon draws a card (Pot of Greed) & plays it! "I activate Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards!" as Shinji proceeds to draw 2 cards (Dark Magic Curtain & Thousand Knives), as he proceded to figure out just what exactly he would do:
(Shinji's Thoughts)
"Next, I play Dark Magic Curtain! By sacrificing half of my life points, I can summon DMG's master, the Dark Magician himself!" A strange red curtain floating in mid-air with a skull on top of it appears, as the curtain & skull soon disappear while a man in a strange purple-like suit & a green wand appears before him (7-star/ 2500 ATK), while his points cut themselves in half (1200/2600 LP), but then he said "And next, I play Thousand Knives!" This caused Big to cringe in horror, as a thousand knives suddenly appeared above the Dark Magician, as Shinji said "This card allows the Dark Magician to destroy 1 monster in play & on you field, and I choose your Tempest! Now, go Thousand Knives!" The Dark Magician waved his wand at Tempest, as the knives flew directly towards Tempest & stabed him until he exploded. Big suddenly said "Oh, no! I'm defenseless & my face down card is useless!" as Shinji smiled before saying "Dark Magician, direct attack!" as the Dark Magician fired a green energy ball at Big, ending the duel instantly (2100 -0)!
(End of Thoughts)
Shinji snickered to himself, as he told himself in his thoughts ' Yea! It's perfect! ' Little did Shinji know, though, that Big's face down was De-Fusion, as Big had expected Shinji would try to do something like that of what he just thought up of...
(In actuality...)
At this time, Shinji had activated Thousand Knives, as the knives flew directly at Tempest! However, Big suddenly said "Nice try, but I saw it coming which is why I activate De-Fusion!" Big's face down revealed itself, as Tempest disappeared while the knives missed their target, as E-Heroes Sparkman(4-star/1400 DEF), Bubbleman(4-star/1200 DEF) & Avian(3-star/1000 DEF) all appeared at once & defended himself, as Shinji seemed confused and asked "Huh? Hey, why did Tempest seperate into those 3?" as Big replied "It's simple, Shinji! You see, De-Fusion sent Tempest back into my fusion deck! Then, the monsters used for the fusion summon are special summoned back to it's creator's field in the battle field of the owner's choice!"
(Return to story)
' If Shinji does try that, then I'll be ready! ' Big thought to himself, as Shinji suddenly said "Next, I play..." Unfortunately, he was interrupted, as a very loud intercom system suddenly announced "The 3rd Child is required for Sync-Testings immediantly! Attendance is mandatory!" Shinji sighed, as Big soon said "I guess we'll have to hold off your training until after your done!" Shinji said "Yea, I guess so!" as Tempest & Big's face-down card disappeared. Then, he asked "Hey Big, could you hold my stuff until I get back?", as Big nodded in response! Shinji took off his duel disk & handed it to Big, as he quickly took off for NERV! Big, however, just sat down & took a deep breathe! By all means, he personally would have wanted to see an ending, but it would have to wait a little longer since in the last few days he had not been able to finish not even 1 duel with his apprentice! However, as he just looked up and, for the first time, noticed the ceiling to this 'Geofront', a small camera was recording from within a fake rock, recording every one of Big's move until a spike fired itself from Big's tail, riping the face rock & the hidden camera in half, as Big soon said to himself "Damn spying humans!"
From inside NERV's security room, Ritsuko banged her hands over the table & gave a very loud "DAMNIT!", as she saw Big destroyed that camera! Ever since Big first appeared, she had been setting up survileance cameras to see if Big was hostile towards humans or not, but each time Big would easily find & destroy them. So, she realized that a new tactic would be needed. "So, still having problems, huh?" a strange voice asked, as Ritsuko turned to see Misato there. "Aren't you suppose to be monitoring the sync-testing?" Ritsuko asked, as Misato replied "Yea, but Shinji hasn't arrived yet & neither have you, appreantly! So, tell me Rits...why the sudden interest in Shinji's new friend?" she soon asked, as Ritsuko replied "I'm just making sure to see if he's a threat or not!" Misato gave a crosseyed look before saying "I'm not that trusting of him either, but so far he hasn't even thrown a punch at anyone, nor has he broken into NERV once since the Commander ordered him to stay outside of the base, and because of the risk of exposure, keeping him inside the Geofront was the only answer we had to that! He neither complained or did something about it! All he wanted was to finish Shinji's training, and that was it!" Ritsuko tapped her chin in a 'thinking' method before saying "Either way, we still have to consider him a threat to the people until we're sure he's not dangerous at all." as she tapped a few keys on her keyboard.
Suddenly, outside, Big sensed something as he stood up and saw a few flying cameras headed his way, as he said "Okay, that's it! I promised I wouldn't break into NERV, but this spying crap is enough! So now, I'm doing something about it!" Big carried Shinji's duel disk & took off towards NERV, a look of anger in his face.
"You were saying?" Ritsuko asked, as Misato said "Call off the camera, Rits! He's had enough of them!" This shocked Ritsuko, as she asked "Excuse me? This was ordered by Commander Ikari!" However, Misato soon said "I meant...NOW!"...
...as Big soon saw more camera following him, as he told himself "Looks like NERV's going to have one hell of a bill after I'm through with these toys!" However, they suddenly flew away from him, as Big stopped, at least a foot away from NERV, as he asked himself "Was it something I said?" Then, he noticed where he was and then said "Aw, to heck with it! I'm already here, so might as well!" as he flew down to the ground and landed while walking towards the entrance, where 2 security guards were waiting in front of the door. One of them pointed a gun at his face & said "Sorry angel, or freak, or whatever you are...orders are not to let you in!" Big sighed and said "Oh, really? Would this make an exception?" as his right arm became a blade covered in fire & his left arm became a blade covered in electricity, AKA, the Sword Arms, as a samurai-like blade came from Big's tail. They both seemed scared and moved out of the way as Big cocked an eyebrow while the guy pointing his gun soon dropped the weapon, as Big's Sword Arms disappeared back into his regular arms & hands, while the samurai-like blade retracted back into Big's tail, as he said "Thank you!" while walking towards the door, opening it, and then entering while shutting the door. The other guard soon asked his partner "Should we tell that thing, if he comes back, that Dr. Akagi allowed him entrance?" as the 1st soldier simply said "Let him figure it out himself!"
Meanwhile, in Tokyo-2...
As the people of Tokyo-2 went on about in their regular day, a cloaked man standing ontop of a building opened his yellow & black striped eyes to look at the world and said "Humans...so pathetic & yet so interesting to play with! I wonder if I'll get to steal some souls today!" as he took out a Paradias Duel Disk & deck of cards, while shuffling them. Then, after inserting them into his slot, the first card he drew was called (Necroface), as he gave an evil smirk before saying "At noon, Necroface will get to play!"
Back in NERV...
Big walked around NERV, trying to look for the one who had sent the camera after him when he accidentally bumped into a red-haired girl & said "Oops, sorry!" She, however, turned to look at him and said "Whatever, just say out of my..." she suddenly trailed off, as Big simply rolled his eyes and went on his way. However, she soon asked "Hey, aren't you that freak who was found with Baka Shinji inside Unit-01's entry plug?" Big turned to look at her, and noticed her blue eyes, as he had to ask himself "Baka Shinji?" before getting it & replied "Yea, that's me, but he's no idiot! So, believe that!" The girl, Asuka Langley Soryu, suddenly said "You actually think that? HA! He's nothing more then a perverted idiot!" Big, however, took offense to this and said "Excuse me? Now listen here, you..." but Asuka interrupted him by saying "No, you listen, jackass! You don't tell me what to say or do, so shut up!" This, though, was what Big wasn't expecting, as he soon said "No, I don't think so! In fact, I don't care what you say or think, for the matter, because you are nothing more then a spoiled, immature, emotionally challenged, brat!" He soon turned away from Asuka and left, unaware of what was to come.
As he appeared in front of the door leading to the testing area, another young girl stopped him, this time in front of the door, as she stared right at Big and asked "Are you the one who came with Pilot Ikari to our world?" as Big replied "That woulf be me, alright! So, who are you, exactly?" as she replied "My name is Rei Ayanami! I was designated the 1st Child, and the other one you met, Pilot Soryu, is the designated 2nd Child." Then, Big asked "And, I assume Shinji is this '3rd Child', right?" as Rei replied "Exactly! We here at NERV once had a 4th Child as well, Kensuke Aida, but circumstances occured and he is no longer capable of piloting, therefore he was removed from all services with NERV!" As she finished saying this, Big quickly made a mental note to himself ' Oh, so that's the kid's name that Shinji's robot...thing...whatever it's called...hurt! If I find that his father is responsible for that, he will answer to me! ' Big soon said "Oh! Um, Rei, was it?" he asked, as Rei nodded for the go-ahead "What exactly happened to this '4th Child', and how exactly was he unable to perform his duties here no longer?" Rei replied "That is a question only Pilot Ikari can answer, and I'd rather he tell you other then myself!" Big simply nodded and asked "I understand, but can you tell me where I can find the person who's been sending these 'cameras' to spy on me? I would like to give him or her a piece of my mind!" Rei soon replied "The person you would want to speak to is Dr. Akagi!" Big had to remember who that was for a second before telling himself ' Oh, yea! The blond lady with the mole! ', as he nodded to her and said "Yea, do you know where she is?" Rei replied "I believe she is in the testing facility. I am to report there after changing into my plug-in suit!" Big understood and moved to a side for her to walk-by. However, as soon as she stood next to him, Rei stared at Big and said "Before I leave, I shall leave to you a warning. I have seen how Pilot Ikari looks up to you as a father, as he does to Captain Katsuragi as rather a friend or mother, but be forewarned. If he should become upset or bothered by you & become as he was before, our next meeting might become..." she paused herself for a second, and then said "Unplesant! Have a nice day!" as she soon walked away, as Big asked himself "Did she just threaten me, and did she mean his hedgehog's dilemma, or something else entirely?"
Meanwhile, in Tokyo-2...
The cloaked man's Paradias Duel Disk activated, as he started counting down. "10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...It's Noon, and now it's time!" he shouted, as the clock soon said "12:00 pm"! Then, he soon said "Now, come forth...Necrofaces"! Suddenly, he placed 5 monster cards on his duel disk, as 5 strange floating doll heads appeared with tentacles coming from it's sides, and an eyeball covered in a strange slimy substance 4-star; 1200/1800 x 5! Then, once they all turned towards him, he asked them "Now, my pretties...let's get their attention, shall we?" as they nodded and then started flying around!
Back in NERV...
The 3 pilots were in the testing area, as Big soon found his way in, which caused Ritsuko to turn to see a very pissed off non-human creature looking at her. However, in a calm tone, she said "So, you found your way here, I see!" Big, however, said "Cut the crap! What's with the cameras? You've been spying on me ever since I got here!" Ritsuko replied by saying "It was ordered by the Commander!", but Big said "If that is true, then explain the actual, flying, cameras that started following me as well! Did he order those as well, or was that you?" In a calm matter, though, she replied "That was me! Since you kept destroying hidden cameras, I figured a more direct approach would help! Obviously, it didn't!" Big quietly said to himself "Gee, go figure!", before saying "And what about the interruptions! The only request I had was to finish Shinji's training, and so far that has been impossible because he keeps getting called away for one reason or another! What's with that?" Ritsuko soon said "I have no control over that! Only the commander or sub-commander can do so!" Big, though, soon said "Your lying and you know it! Now, what's the real reason?" Ritsuko sighed before admitting "Okay, I lied! I've been keeping him away from his 'unusual' training sessions with you because I feel you might be trying to prepare him to attack us all! Does that answer your question?" Big shook his head before saying "Now your just talking crap once more AND you're lying through your teeth yet again! So, what's the real reason?" as she soon said "Okay, in all honesty, I'm somewhat jealous!" Big cocked an eyebrow and asked "How so?" as she replied "I can't describe it exactly, but it's just...you remember when we first met and you just created that creature out of thin air?" Big had to scratch his head on that one before recalling the events of the last episode:
(Flashback to Episode 4)
The roar of Gigas forced them to turn around, as Big soon activated his KC Duel Disk & said "Shinji, it's here!" Shinji nodded, as they backed away from Gigas, who had arrived. Big soon drew a card & said "This sould keep him busy! Come forth, E-Hero Clayman!" as something appeared in front of Gigas that was a stone-shaped male with a red head, as he defended itself and blocked Gigas from getting in (4-star/ 2000 DEF)!
"Whoa, how did you do that?" Shinji asked, as Big explained " It's a bit tricky to explain, but I'll put it in simple terms. As you know, there's a special power in my blood that allows me to use my powers! Unfortunately, in this case, since the Orichalcos is allowing monsters to become real inside it's own region, I just used it to bring our friend, Clayman, to life!" Shinji nodded, as Ritsuko soon said "I don't believe anything you just said...whatever you are!" Big, annoyed, pointed to Clayman restraining Gigas and said "Then, I don't suppose you don't believe there's a stone soldier stopping a soul-sucking monster from taking your souls, but then again it's right there in front of you!" Ritsuko only seemed shocked, as Big soon told them all "Now, all of you, listen! Until that thing & it's owner are destroyed, everyone is capable of losing their souls! So, stay calm & leave this to us, got it?" They only seemed a little hesistant to trust some...thing...they knew nothing about...
(End of Flashback)
Suddenly, the alarms started buzzing, as Big looked up at the ceiling, and closed his eyes. "What are you doing? That's an Angel alarm!" She told him, but Big soon said "Judging from Shinji's past memories, I am able to sense if it was an Angel or not, and this is no Angel at all!" She soon asked "How do you know?" as Big replied "Because there's five of them!" Ritsuko, in shock, soon ran to a control board and shouted into the intercom "LAUNCH THE EVAS!" However, when she turned around she saw a KC Duel Disk on a board with a note that said:
'Please return this to Shinji! If I find he doesn't have it back when I return, you & me are going to have a problem!
-Big'
"Short & straight to the point, appreantly!" she told herself, unaware as to where Big was going!
Meanwhile, in Tokyo-2...
The cloaked man could only laugh to himself, as the Necrofaces started firing energy beams at random cars, and this caused people to run, as he told himself "And now, to wait for the bait to be taken!" Suddenly, the ground shook, getting the attention of both the cloaked man & the Necrofaces, as the cloaked man chuckled while a blue spinning drill covered in a green glow appeared from the ground and then stopped spinning to reveal Big, as that same green glow disappeared. "Big the Bird, welcome to the party!" the cloaked man said, as Big soon asked "How do you know my name?" the claoked man chuckled before saying "Ah, a good question, but rather difficult to answer. So, I guess I might as well give you the short answer. You see, my master is not suprised that you have involved yourself with this war with the Orichalcos against humanity! The only problem, though, is that your on the wrong side."
Big cocked his eyebrow, and asked "Me? On the wrong side? Bub, are you sure you're not smoking weed? Last I check, your on the wrong side!", but then the cloaked man said "No, I believe it is you who is on the wrong side! Have you forgotten what the humans in your dimension have done? They have brought forth nuclear war, and killed thousands with weapons of mass destruction alone! In this world, though, they are trying to rewrite history!" Big then asked "And how so?" as he the cloaked man replied "By starting 3rd Impact!" This seemed to get some rise out of Big, as he soon asked "And just what is 3rd Impact, because no one will tell me anything about it?" The cloaked man soon replied "Oh, that's easy! 3rd Impact will kill all human-life, thus restarting the world with nothing but land & sea!" Big's eyes soon went wide & said "WHAT?! NO WAY! Only God himself has the power to do that!" However, the cloaked man said "Oh, not anymore! It seems both NERV & another group, SEELE, have figured out a way to use an actual Angel to start up 3rd Impact! Then again, though, so have we! Once the Great Leviathan awakens, we will have the power to start our own 3rd Impact, which will wipe out all mankind and restart history as we see fit. So, Big the Bird, join us or have your soul taken!" Big's eyes turned red as his KC Duel Disk activated, giving an obvious "Hell No!"
However, both Big & the cloaked man soon took notice as 2 platforms started to rise and revealed a giant red robot from one, while a blue & white one came from the other. "Oh, great! More company!" Big said, while the cloaked man soon said "Well, it seems that I have more guets to entertain! Come, 1st & 2nd Child! Come to your doom!" as he suddenly drew a card. Big, however, knew what was coming, as he turned towards EVA-Units 0 & 2, and started waving his arms around while his eyes turned to normal! "WAIT! STOP! TURN AROUND & RUN AWAY BEFORE IT'S TOO..." Big never finished that sentence as Unit-2 slapped Big to the ground, while Asuka, inside said "Take that, jackass!" Of course, once the dust settled, Big soon stood up, his energy barrier protecting him & his duel disk, as it disappeared, but then this happened!
"Now, let the party begin! I play the Seal of Orichalcos!" as the giant seal soon surrounded the entire city and made the Necrofaces stronger (1200 + 500: 1700 ATK x 5)! "Aw, damnit!" Big cursed to himself, as the Necrofaces soon came for him. However, he suddenly drew 3 cards and said "By the power of Polymerization, I fuse E-Heroes Wildheart (4-star/1500 ATK) & Bladedge (7-star/2600 ATK) together, and summon E-Hero Wildedge!" Suddenly, Big's Bladedge fused with a dark-skinned warrior with a sword & lion's cloth, as they became a warrior with a golden sword, helmet, and right hand glove with spikes (8-star/2600 ATK)! This stopped the Necrofaces, as Big soon said "Now, here's the fun part! Wildedge can attack all monsters on my opponent's field! Even if this isn't a traditional duel, I'm going to treat it as one! Widedge, go all-out on these duel monster rejects!" Wildedge nods before slashing all 5 of the Necrofaces in half before they were destroyed, as the cloaked man on top of a building held his chest in extreme pain...
(2600-1700: 900 x 54500 Total Damage)
...As he saw his life-point counter hit zero instantly. "Oh, no! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..." he bascially trailed off, as the seal took his soul! However, Big noticed something wrong, because Wildedge was still around, and so was the seal! "If the duel is over, how come the seal is still around?" Big asked himself, as he soon saw the 5 previously destroyed Necrofaces suddenly appear as ghosts before they suddenly became a giant Necroface the size of an Angel! This one Necroface, though, was called the Grand Necroface OC/12-star; 5000/5000! "Holy (Censored)" Big told himself, as Wildedge prepared himself for battle! Then, the seal appeared on the Grand Necroface, increasing it's power (5000 + 500: 5500 ATK), as it looked at Wildedge. Little did Big know that within Unit-2, Asuka was freaking out as she simply saw the Grand Necroface and was in a state of shock.
NERV...
"How did he escape from NERV?" was all Commander Ikari asked at this recent predicament, as Shinji could only look on! "We're not sure, sure, but somehow Big was able to drill through all 23 layers of metal seperating Tokyo-2 & the Geofront." Maya soon reported, as Misato soon said "Right now, that's the least of our worries! That thing is bascially the size of an angel & Units 0 & 2 are out there! Recall the EVAS now!" However, Commander Ikari said "Deny that order! The creature, angel or not, must be destroyed!" Then, Shinji said "Either way, as long as the Seal is around, they can't escape until the duel is over!" As this happened, Ritsuko looked on and couldn't help but wonder what would happen should Big, Asuka & Rei fall on this day.
Outside...
"This doesn't make sense!" Big told himself! There's no way this should even be going on...unless..." Big trails off, he glides up into the air and suddenly sees a sight that makes his skin want to turn pale white, as he sees the cloaked man's body moving, but his pupils are now gone, and are glowing yellow (4000 LP). Then, on the field is a strange magic card called (Grand Necro Fusion; OC/Instant Magic: Activate if you have 5 Dark Attributed monsters in your graveyard. Remove them from play & special summon 1 "Grand Necroface" from your hand, deck, or graveyard)! "That explains how that monster was created!" Big told himself, but then asked "Question is: Who or what is controlling the body?" Suddenly, the Grand Necroface launched it's tentacles at Big, as Wildedge jumped into the air and intercepted the skin-piercing tentacles! "Wildedge, NO!" Big shouted & saw this gruesome image occuring right in front of him, as they ended up destroying him while Big held his chest in pain & lost 2900 LP.
(Big: 1100 LP)
' Arg, Wildedge...No! That thing is going to pay for that, but right now I've got to come up with a plan! Another attack like that, and I've had it! There must be some way to defeat Grand Necroface! Otherwise, we're in more trouble then ever! ' Big thought to himself, as Grand Necroface now launched it's tentacles towards him. "Damn, a direct attack!" Big told himself, as he moved out of the way while the tentacles simply came to a stop before slamming into the building. Big, however, soon moved behind the Grand Necroface and started looking for a weakspot, when the Grand Necroface turned to directly face Big. "That's not good!" Big told himself, but suddenly a gun blasted Grand Necroface's tentacles away from Big, as he turned to see who fired it: Unit-0! "Um, which one are you?" he asked towards Unit-0, as Unit-0 simply stood & faced him. Big's eyes then turned green, allowing him to see inside Unit-0, and saw Rei inside. "Oh, it's you! Rei!" He said, as Unit-0 nodded! "Thank you!" Big soon said towards it, as he then turned towards Grand Necroface, who was now ready for battle. His eyes then turned to red, as he said "Now, I'm coming for you!"
NERV...
"That's it! I have to help them!" Shinji said, but Commander Ikari said "No, you won't, 3rd Child! Their lives are irrelavent!" Shinji soon looked at his father & said "Irrelavent my ass!" as he turned and ran towards the exit. However, Misato soon ran after him and shouted "Shinji, stop!" forcing him to stop before he could reach the end of the hallway. She then caught up to him and said "Please, Shinji, don't go! Unit-1 is still under repairs, and we don't even know if we can trust your friend their or not!" This, however, upsetted Shinji as he asked in an upset tone "You can't trust him? After what happened with those monster a few days before, and now with what's going on Tokyo-2, you still can't trust him? Well, I don't care anymore! The month I spent with Big taught me to stop listening to others & start believing in myself, Misato! And if you can't respect that, then maybe you're not my friend after all." The whole time he said those words, he didn't bother to look at Misato, but it did make her think. Then, taking Shinji by suprise, she suddenly hugged him from his back, shocking him, as he asked "Misato?" while she soon said "I'm sorry, Shinji! I had forgotten that you came back much different then when you left us a month before. I'm just worried that the next time you leave, it might be for good." Shinji, in a conforting voice, said "I could never leave you, Misato! I lo...care about you too much!" Shinji blushed at himself for his words, but he was unaware that so was his guardian. Misato soon regained some type of composure, as she let him go and then said "I'll go with you...just to keep you company." Shinji then said "Thank you, Misato!" However, suddenly Ritsuko appeared and said "And, to get you two there much quicker, I guess I'll go!" The 2 looked at Ritsuko, as she had Shinji's KC Duel Disk in her hand, extending it over to him. "Um, thank you, Akagi-san!" However, before Shinji could grab it, Ritsuko pulled it away. "Wha...Akagi-san?" Shinji asked in shocked, as Ritsuko said "Before I give this to you, I want something in return..."
Meanwhile...
Big slammed into the Grand Necroface, causing it to crash into a building, as he flew towards the body! "Rei, now!" Big said, as Unit-0 fired directly at the Grand Necroface, causing debris around the giant Duel Monster. However, when the debris settled, Grand Necroface remained, as it launched it's tentacles at Unit-0 and lifted it up into the air, as it drew it towards some buildings. Big, noticing this saw Grand Necroface about to slam it's tentacles into it's head, as he drew a card & said "I summon Dark Catapulter to defend Rei!" as a strange purple robotic creature with a red orb for eyes appeared in front of Unit-0 (4-star/ 1500 DEF) before it was destroyed. Big sighed in relief and said "That was close!" before the Grand Necroface turned around to stare at Big once more. "Oh, crap!" Big said to himself, as another tentacle came at him. Big moved to a side, dodging it as that tentacle went through another building. By then, he turned towards Unit-2, and noticed it was simply standing there. Big's eyes turned green & saw right through that armor, as he saw Asuka hugging her legs close to her & her head down. And, if you opened your ears very carefully, you could hear her crying. "She's scared?" Big asked himself, as he flew towards Unit-2 and landed on it's head. Then, to get her attention, Big kneed down and started knocking on Unit-2's head.
"Asuka, are you there? It's me, Big! You know, the freak who came out of that robot...thing...with Shinji, that guy you call an idiot & a pervert?" Big asked towards her, but wasn't getting an answer. "Come on, kid! We need your help here!" Still, no answer. "Asuka, I'm serious here! We really need your help!" However, nothing was getting through Asuka's head, as Big soon asked "Is it because you're afraid?" Although there was still no answer, Big now was forced to do this, as he said "Will you not help us because you're afraid of some giant doll's head? Asuka, this damn thing is going to destroy everything you guys have fought for, & if you just sit there & do nothing, then not only does that thing win, but your whole fight against these 'Angels' will have been for nothing! Everything you have fought for will be for nothing!" Yet, still, nothing! Big finally sighed in anger & said "Okay, Asuka! I tried this the easy way, but now we're doing this the hard way!" Big rolled his fist up to pound right through the armor, but suddenly one of the Grand Necroface's tentacles grabbed Big and pulled him away from her, while Asuka was replaying what Big just said to her:
"Will you not help us because you're afraid of some giant doll's head? Asuka, this damn thing is going to destroy everything you guys have fought for, & if you just sit there & do nothing, then not only does that thing win, but your whole fight against these 'Angels' will have been for nothing! Everything you have fought for will be for nothing!"
"Asuka, get up! Fight & WIN!" Big finally shouted, as Asuka's eyes finally opened and she lifted her head up to the sight in front of her. "Fight & win!" she whispered to herself, as she saw Big freeing himself from Grand Necroface's grip while kicking the tentacle away. Unit-0, by then, attempted to get to it's feet while a hidden door opened from outside the seal as Shinji came out from the other side with Misato & Ritsuko right behind him. However, as he approached the seal, Big turned to see him coming & said "NO! Don't come any closer!" This stopped the 3, as Shinji said "I'm here to help!" Big, however, said "As long as the seal's in play, if you touch it, you'll lose your soul!" This shocked him, as his deck suddenly started glowing while he asked "What now?"
Big also noticed this, as a certain card in his shirt pocket (Legend of Heart) was glowing. "Oh, no! Not this again!" he said, but Big & Shinji weren't the only ones who were going through it this time around, as Asuka & Rei were soon consumed into that glow of light...
? World
...And all 4 found themselves right where Shinji & Big freed Timaeus! "What the...here again?" Big asked, as Asuka soon asked "Where are we?" Rei then looked around and seemed confused to her surroundings as well, as she said "I assume we are in some sort of strange alternate dimension!" Big & Shinji could only nod, as Shinji then asked "So, why are we here, Big?" Big only scratched his head, as he then said "How about we ask our friend, the DMG? Maybe she might have some answers!" Shinji nodded, as he took the Dark Magician Girl card out of his deck and, instantly, she appeared before them (6-star/ 2000 ATK)! "Big, Shinji, hello again my friends! How can I help you today?" They both rolled their eyes before Big asked "Can you tell us why we're here again, this time with Asuka & Rei?" The Dark Magician Girl soon replied "Of course! Fate has chosen that these 2 ladies be the new masters of Critias & Hermos!" Big & Shinji could only hang their jaws in shock, while Asuka & Rei seemed confused, as Asuka asked "What's she talking about, 3rd?"
Shinji soon turned to face her & replied "She means you & Rei were picked to do what Big & me can do right now." Rei then asked "You mean that strange ability to create those strange creatures?" Shinji only nodded, as Big then said "You gotta be kidding! It took me a month alone to train Shinji on how to duel, and his training isn't even finished yet! Asuka & Rei have no training on this at all. How were they chosen?" The DMG could only shrug her shoulders, as she said "It was the Viewer who chose them, not me! I can only tell you this!" Then, Big asked "Why?" DMG only snickered and said "Because it's the Viewer's decision. Besides, Big, you're getting something out of this as well...in the end, though!" Big raised an eyebrow and asked "What do you mean?" She only smiled & said "You'll find out soon enough! For now, though, I believe there is a little matter to attend to!" Big nodded, as he sighed and said "Okay then! Lets awaken the other 2 dragons!"
Big turned towards Asuka & Rei and asked them "Okay, you 2, who's going first?" as Rei only blinked in confusion as Asuka rolled up her fist & shot it up towards the front of her, as she said "If Wondergirl's not up to it, then I am!" Big soon nodded, as he said "Then, you have to promise that from now on, you shall be one of my students and use what I teach you in the ways of the duel to protect the innocent from those who would bring harm to them! Do you accept this responsibility that has been handed down to you?" Asuka ruffed up her chest and said "Yea, whatever! Just as long as I get to prove I'm better then these 2!" Big, however, soon said "Not good enough! You have to rather promise or I will teach you nothing! It's my way or the highway, Asuka! If you promise to be my student, then I will give you the chance to finally find your peace within yourself!" Asuka soon raised her eyebrow, as Big simply stood there, completely motionless. Soon enough, she said "Okay! You have my word!" Big then nodded, and said "Okay then! Now it's your turn, Rei!" Rei pointed to herself and asked "Me?" Big nodded "Yes, you Rei! Do you promise that, from now on, you will be one of my students and learn the ways of the duel in order to protect the innocent from those that would harm them? Do you accept the responsibility that has been handed to you?" Rei soon said "I do not care what happens to me, so long as I keep my vow to protect Pilot Ikari! For that, you have my word!" Big soon shook his head and said "No Rei, this is not about protecting Shinji! This is about protecting people & finally finding a place in this world for yourself!" Rei then said "I will accept this mission!" as Big nodded his head. Then, DMG said "Now, Asuka...Rei...it is time! First, we must awaken the 2nd dragon, Critias!"
Big turned to look at Asuka and said "You called first, so let's go!" Asuka nodded, as Big carried Asuka up towards one of the dragons, as DMG said "It's the one with the sword in it's fang!" Big said "Got it!" as they found the one with a sword attached to it's fang. "So, what am I suppose to do?" she asked, as Big replied "Simple: Pull the sword out!" So, Big's tail wrapped itself around Asuka and carried her over to the dragon as she pulled, but like Shinji before, it stopped half-way. "Damnit!" she cursed, as Big said "Here, I'll give you a hand." as he grabbed the sword handle and pulled with Asuka to finally remove the sword. However, unlike last time, the statue didn't crack into pieces. "Hey, what the hell, DMG? Nothing happened!" Big said towards the DMG, as she soon said "You have to unseal Hermos first before they can be free!" Big & Asuka rolled their eyes, as Big landed and put Asuka down while she dropped the sword. Then, Rei walked up to Big and said "I am ready!" Big nodded and his tail wrapped itself around Rei after letting Asuka go. However, as soon as they were airborne, Shinji pointed at the 3rd statue's toe & said "It's down here!" as Big crashed onto the ground anime-style, which also ended up hurting Rei as well. "Sorry, Rei!" Big said as his tail let Rei go and she got to her feet! "I am not harmed, so there is nothing to apologize to!"
Then, they saw what Shinji was pointing to, as Big said "It's attached to a claw on it's foot!" Rei soon said "I see! So, all I must do is pull it out, correct?" Big nodded, as Rei walked towards the sword and started to pull! However, like the other 2, it only went half-way, as Big said "Aw, For god's sakes!" as he walked over to Rei and helped her pull the sword out. Suddenly, the 2 statues started cracking, as Big moved Rei back. Then, all 4 of them, as well as the DMG, saw as the 2nd statue completely came down and a large black dragon emerged from it! Then, the 3rd statue revealed it's imhabitant, a large red dragon with a dark shade of white for it's underbelly. "So, those are Critias & Hermos!" Big pointed out, as the 2 dragons faced Asuka & Rei, and soon nodded to them. Soon enough, a large white light eneloped them all...
...as they all found themselves back in Tokyo-2, as Asuka looked at all of the carnage and asked herself "Did all of that just happen?" as she looked at her hand and found a card that was called (Fang of Critias). "So, it did happen!" From Unit-0, the same could be said for Rei, as she saw a card called (Claw of Hermos) in her hand, as she said "It was not an illusion after all!" As for Big, he turned to see the Grand Necroface looking right at him, as he said "No more games! This ends now!" as he drew a card & shouted "I play Fusion Recovery! Now, I can move Polymerization & an E-Hero to my hand!" as he moved Wildheart & Polymerization into his hand. Then, he drew 2 cards, confusing Grand Necroface, as he said "And now, I fuse E-Heroes Avian & Burstinatrix to summon E-Hero Flame Wingman!" as a green-feathered man with wings (3-star/1000 ATK) & a pale looking lady in a red jumpsuit (3-star/1200 ATK) appeared and fused together, as the Flame Wingman arrived (6-star/ 2100 ATK)! Then, Big's next drawn card was played immediantly, as he announced "Next, I play the equip. magic card, Fusion Shot!" as the Flame Wingman was covered in a blue aura! Then, Big announced "Fusion Shot works like this! I can remove one of the 2 fusion components used to summon the Flame Wingman from the game, and your controller takes damage equal to the monster's ATK, and I choose Burstinatrix!", as Big's Burstinatrix card is removed from his graveyard, while the controlled body suddenly sees his points decreasing!
(?: 2800 LP)
The Grand Necroface suddenly roars in anger, as it launches 2 tentacles at Unit's 0 & 2! Big could only watch in horror, as could the Flame Wingman! "ASUKA, REI...LOOK OUT!" Big shouted, as the Units suddenly watched as the 2 previously mentioned cards started glowing, as Asuka & Rei, as well as Shinji, could only look on as Critias & Hermos suddenly appeared and fired 2 energy beams at the tentacles, destroying them and protecting their friends. Big & The Flame Wingman turned to see this, as Big said "Thank you!" Critias & Hermos nodded for the go-ahead, as Big turned to the Grand Necroface and said "Now, let's get back to business." Big draws another card and announces "Next up is Battle x 2! This will multiply the Flame Wingman's ATK power times 2!" as the Flame Wingmans' blue glow turns red, while his power is multiplied (2100 x 2: 4200 ATK)! The Grand Necroface only roars, as it launches it's tentacles at the Flame Wingman! However, Big prepares to draw yet another card & says "For the people of earth, you shall lose now, damn you!" as he draws and smiles while announcing "I activate the trap card, Soul Union! Now, I can use an E-Hero in my graveyard and lend it's power to my Flame Wingman, and I choose Bladedge!" At this time, Bladedge's spirit appears behind the Flame Wingman, as it's red glow now becomes a yellow glow while his power is increased even more (4200 + 2600: 6800 ATK!), as Big then announced "Now, Flame Wingman, counterattack & end this!" The Flame Wingman nodded as he let loose an extremely powerful burst of flame that not only destroyed the tentacles, but burned a hole right through the Grand Necroface, causing it to explode while the body only moved back a few inches while losing 1300 points.
(?: 1500 LP)
"And now, my Flame Wingman's super power activates! You lose life points equal to your monster's ATK points! So, party's over!" The Flame Wingman soon fired once more at the body, as it fell to the ground while it's points hit zero! Critias & Hermos roared in victory while the seal finally disappeared! The Flame Wingman crossed his arms while Big said "Game over, bitch!"
NERV...
Everyone started clapping in celebration while Commander Ikari looked solely at the screen and directly at Big while the Flame Wingman disappeared. "It seems I have a use for you after all, my fine-feathered creature!" he told himself.
Tokyo-2...
Big landed down onto the ground and told himself "That was a tough one!" as Shinji soon ran up to him! "Hey Big, you did it!" Shinji said to him, as Big turned and shook his head! Then, he said "No Shinji, we all did it!" From the top of 2 damaged buildings Critias & Hermos roared in victory before disappearing.
NERV...
Asuka & Rei exited the ladies locker room and saw Misato there. "Hey old hag, what's up?" she asked, as Misato said "You & Rei are being assigned to a new duty!" They both raised their eyebrows...
...while, in the Geofront, Big & Shinji were shuffling each other's decks, getting ready for another round of training! "So, you sure you're up to this, Big?" Shinji asked, while Big replied "I'm just a little shook up & restless! A good duel will unwind me! That, and the fact that my deck deserves a reward for our victory over the Orichalcos!" They soon handed each other back their respective decks and moved to their positions! However, before they could start, Misato approached them with Asuka & Rei, as Big asked "What do you want now?" as Misato replied "The Commander demands that you begin their training immediantly!" Big could only shake his head, as he said "There's only one problem with that!" Asuka & Rei looked at Big, as Rei asked "What exactly do you need to teach us?" Big took a deep breathe before replying "I need the technology & cards from my dimension to do so! Otherwise, your better off leaning black magic, and that's something I don't do!"
End of Episode 5!
Well, that's the end of this episode, as this cliffhanger ending was the only thing that popped into my mind for an ending. However, please join us for our next episode, as it goes a little something like this...
"In order to train Asuka & Rei properly, Big must find a way back into his own dimension, but while he & Ritsuko have continuous miscommunications, a strange opponent appears and challenges Shinji to a duel near the shores of the LCL lake at the Geofront! Suddenly, Shinji is overcome by an opponent controling a warrior named "Neos"...
