Hello & welcome to another episode of "NGE: Enter the Orichalcos!" In the previous episode, the Dark King arrived and immediantly made sure to get Big, Little & Sara's attention. Asuka arrived to duel him, despite the warnings of others, but the Dark King easily defeated her and stole her Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon! In anger, Big found he was the next target of the Dark King, sending Asuka away with Little & Sara while he dealt with the Dark King alone...
Anyway, now that we got that out of the way, here's our 20th episode! Oh, and get ready for a suprise ending you'd never expect!
**************************************************************************************************************
Episode 20: Threat of the Dark Synchro!
Contuining from the last episode, Big (3500 LP) and E-Hero Bubbleman looked up and saw the large creature known as the Dark Destroyer (10-star/ 0 ATK), as it landed right behind the Dark King (4000 LP) while they were still inside a live tornado! "So, that's you all powerful monster, huh?" Big asked, and then stated "For a large monster, he doesn't seem high on ATK power!" The Dark King chuckled and said "You are correct! He isn't at first glance, but this is where his special ability kicks in. You see, once per turn, I can pick a fusion monster in the graveyard and equip it to this monster. As you know, there are 2 fusion monsters in your graveyard, and I know just which one to pick!" The Dark Destroyer's stomach, appreantly a holding cell, opened and fired a pair of chains into the air, as this caused a wormhole to open above Big's head. The chains entered the wormhole and pulled out E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman (8-star/ 2500 ATK), as Big looked on in shock while the Shining Flare Wingman was pulled into the holding cell and restrained him while the cell gates closed. The wormhole above Big's head closed, as Big was speechless to what just happened.
"Ah! I see I've got your full attention! Now, here's where things get interesting. Depending on the ATK of the monster, it will increase the power of my Dark Destroyer equal to the amount!" The Dark Destroyer started glowing in a similar aura to the Shining Flare Wingman, as his power rose (0 to 2500 ATK)! Big cringed his teeth, as the Dark King soon announced "And now, Dark Destroyer, attack!" The Dark Destroyer roared, as it launched it's claws directly at Bubbleman, and then grabbed Bubbleman, as he procedded to swallow the E-Hero, thus destroying him. Big could only look on as this occured, as the Dark King suddenly announced "And now, I activate the trap card, Dark Slave!" The Dark King's new trap card activates, as the Dark Destroyer's cage opens and the Shining Flare Wingman exits. "This card can only activate once per turn when my Dark Destroyer destroys a monster in battle while equipped to a monster. This card lets me use the equipped monster as my own and lets me attack with it." The Shining Flare Wingman tried to struggle, but he was finally forced to fly directly after Big, as Big announced "I activate the trap card, A Hero Emerges!" One of Big's face down cards revealed themselves, as Big stated "This card forces you to pick a card in my hand, and if it's a monster card, I am allowed to summon it to the field. Well, as it turns out, I only have 1 card in my hand, and it just so happens to be E-Hero Neos!"
Suddenly, E-Hero Neos flies out of the trap card (7-star/ 2500 ATK), as Big soon asked the Dark King "Well Dark King, what's it gonna be? You gonna continue the attack, or do you want to call it off?" The Dark King thought for a moment, before saying "I'll stop the attack!" At this moment, the Shining Flare Wingman stopped flying towards Neos, as he was lured back into the Dark Destroyer. "Instead..." the Dark King suddenly said, and added "I activate the magic card, Dark Spirit Strike!" Big seemed perplexed, as the Dark King stated "Well, since forcing our monsters would cause them both to be destroyed, instead I'll just do this! This card allows me to use a monster equipped to the Dark Destroyer and you'll lose life points equal to it's ATK." The Dark Destroyer opened it's cage once more and forced the Shining Flare Wingman outside, as it fired an energy beam from it's chest at Big, causing him to lose more LP.
(Big: 1000 LP)
Big held his chest in pain and fell to one knee, as the Dark King simply stated "I end my turn!" Big looked up and soon told himself "Now what do I do?"
Meanwhile, in an undisclosed location...
Yubel chuckles, as she watches the duel occuring between Big & the Dark King! "Once Big is defeated, I won't have any problem starting the next phase of my plan." Yubel told herself. However, she soon sensed a presence behind her, as Yube turned around and found herself entraped by a strange yellow glow appreantly coming from Dark Marik. "Wha...? Marik?" Yubel asked, as Dark Marik replied "Well, I see now what you're up too! You never planned to help us destroy the 2 worlds in the first place! You only wanted Big out of the picture so that way you could proceed on with your own nefarious intentions. I hate to be the one to tell you, but your plans have been terminated." Yubel, trapped and unable to move, asked "Oh, and what do you plan to do about it?" as Dark Marik replied "Oh, I know exactly what to do!" Dark Marik began to walk closer towards Yubel, as she screamed in horror!
Back at the duel...
Neos turned around to face Big and asked "Big, are you alright?" Big got up, while still holding his chest, and replied "I've felt worse! " Neos then turned his attention towards the Dark Destroyer, as well as the imprisioned Shining Flare Wingman, and asked "How do we defeat that monster? It still has one of our own hostage!" Big snickered and replied "You let me worry about that! I have a plan to bring that thing down once and for all!"
The Dark King, noticing Big's silence, asked "Do you surrender to me?" Big soon replied "Not on your life! Now, it's my turn!" Big closed his eyes, as he silently drew his next card while he felt the deck itself responding to him with the sound of a heartbeat. Big opened his eyes and saw the card he needed (Pot of Greed), as he announced "I activate Pot of Greed! This allows me to draw 2 more cards!" Big then drew 2 more (N-Air Hummingbird & Graceful Charity), as he then announced "And now, I activate Graceful Charity! I can draw 3 cards, and discard 2!" Big procedded to draw 3 more cards (Skyscraper, Neo Space & Hero Counterattack), as he sent 2 to the graveyard (Skyscraper & Hero Counterattack). Then, he announced "And now, I summon N-Air Hummingbird!" At this cue, the N-Air Hummingbird appeared in a gust of air (3-star/ 800 ATK). "I'm not impressed!" The Dark King stated, as Big soon said "Oh, too bad! The fun has just begun!"
Then, Big suddenly announced "I activate Contact Fusion! By sending E-Hero Neos & N-Air Hummingbird on my field back into my deck, I can fusion summon E-Hero Air Neos!" Neos & Air Hummingbird nodded, as they flew into the air and fused together thanks to a glowing light, as the being that came from it was Neos wearing a large red suit and now equipped with wings (7-star/ 2500 ATK). "Not bad, but he's still as strong as ever! Your monster would only get himself destroyed." The Dark King exclaimed, but Big suddenly said "Oh, I'm not done just yet. Next, I activate the field magic card, Neo Space!" Big placed the magic card into his field card zone, as the tornado suddenly started to slow down and soon disappeared altogether while the 2 of them found themselves and their respective monsters inside a strange nebula full of colors. "No, my storm!" The Dark King exclaimed, as Big soon stated "Without your storm, you've got nothing to make neither yourself, nor your monster, intimidating. Also, thanks to this card, it gives any Neos-Fusion monster on my field 500 more ATK points."
Air Neos started glowing red, as his power increased (2500 + 500: 3000 ATK), as Big then said "Also, thanks to Air Neos' effect, if my life points are lower than my opponent's life points, he gains ATK power equal to the difference." Air Neos then started glowing some more, as his power increased (3000 + 3000: 6000 ATK). The Dark King looked on, and for the 1st time, Big noticed he was starting to shake a bit, as Big announced "Air Neos, attack now!" Air Neos flew right towards the Dark Destroyer, as the Dark King suddenly announced "I activate another effect of my Dark Destroyer. When he's about to be destroyed, I can sacrifice the monster equipped to him to negate it's destruction." Big stated, though "Even if you do that, you still have to take damage regardless." By now, the Dark Destroyer's cage opened, as the Shining Flare Wingman was used as a shield and was forced to take the hit, as the Air Neos flew through him, destroying him while the Dark King lost 3500 LP. Because of the attack, though, a large cloud of dust surrounded the field as the tornado started to disappear.
(Dark King: 500 LP)
The Dark Destroyer also started screaming in pain, as it lost all it's power without the Shining Flare Wingman around (2500 to 0 ATK). Air Neos then returned to Big's side, as his power decreased due to the Dark King's new amount of LP remaining (6000 to 3000 ATK). Big then announced "And with that, the Shining Flare Wingman is back in my graveyard and my turn is over!" Big then noticed the tornado return back into the clouds from which it came from, as he looked down and noticed something rather odd. As the dust settled, parts of the Dark King's armor started to crack, as Big notied a piece of it fall to reveal a golden eye. "What in the world are you?" Big asked, as the Dark King's helmet started to shatter and fall apart. As it shattered, Big gasped at what he saw...it looked exactly like him except his entire skin color was black with yellow eyes. "Now you see what I truly am, Big!" The Dark King said, as he soon asked "You like?" Big's face went from shock to anger, as he said "No! It just encourages me to end this duel and reclaim what you stole!" The Dark King snickered and said "I might have stolen it, but at least I earned it. What about you, though? What have you earned?"
Big seemed confused, as the Dark King soon stated "Judging from how I've seen you duel, you've sacrificed one of your own just to damage my life points. That shows you're pretty desperate just to try and beat me! Also, from what I can tell from your style of dueling, you seemed determined to defeat me with just fusion monsters. Against an opponent like me, that just won't do! Finally, you seem to think you're some honorable duelist, but somewhere deep in your soul, there's a form of darkness that's laid dormant for quite some time." Big blinked, not fully able to comprehend all this, as the Dark King then added "In fact, I think you used to be a duelist who lost his true spirit some time ago, and now you're a shell of what you were before." Big soon asked "What are you getting at, Dark King?" Big looked intensively at the Dark King, who replied "You are no true duelist! You are nothing more then a has-been who needs to be put down once and for all!" Big simply said "You can try, but I doubt you'll be able to put it off!"
The Dark King smirked and said "Oh, just watch!" He drew a card and then announced "Now Big, I want you to pay close attention, for this next move will be the end of you!" Then, he procedded by saying "I'll remove my Dark Servant in my graveyard from the game to special summon the Dark Tuner monster-Dark Priest!" At this time, Big asked "Dark Tuner?" as the Dark King's Dark Servant card removed itself from the graveyard while a new monster monster soon appeared in front of the Dark King. The creature also appeared as a man, but wearing the clothes of a buddhist priest with a staff (2-star/ 0 ATK).
(*APOLOGIES TO BUDDHIST PRIESTS EVERYWHERE!*)
"And now, Big, let me be the first to introduce you to a style of dueling more advance then fusion itself!" The Dark King announced, as Big prepared himself! "I tune my 10-star Dark Destroyer with my 2-star Dark-Tuner Dark Priest!" The Dark King shouted, as the Dark Priest turned into 2 rings of pure darkness as they started circling around the Dark Destroyer! Big then noticed the Dark Destroyer turning transparent as it became 10 stars swirling around the 2 dark rings.
"When the curtains of darkness comes down, the eyes of the underworld will open! Swoop down, darkness! Dark Synchro! Show yourself, One-Hundred Eyes Dragon!"-Dark King
The 2 creatures fused together, as they soon created a dark dragon with dark wings attached to it's back and it's entire body covered with eyes (8-star/ 3000 ATK). Big could only look in awe as the creature roared and landed right behind the Dark King! "Holy crap!" Big told himself, as the Dark King snickered!
Meanwhile, back at Big's house...
Little went back outside as she saw the tornado had disappeared, but the skies had yet to clear up. "Something's wrong!" she told herself as Sara walked towards her and said "I thought your brother would be back by now. You think he might be in over his head?" Little doesn't look at her, but replies "I think there's more to this 'Dark King' then meets the eye." Little then said "I think you might be right!" as she decided to take off towards the battle zone itself. Sara sighed and told herself "I wish Carlos were here! He's probably the only one who could talk to these 2!"
Back at the duel...
"So, that's Synchro?" Big asks, as the Dark King replies "What, this? No, this is Dark Synchro! It works in the opposite way as Synchro! It's too bad this will be the last monster you will ever lay eyes on. Now then, I activate the effect of One-Hundred Eyes Dragon! Once per turn, I can use a Dark-Attribute monster in my graveyard and my monster can use it's effect." Big stood silent, as the Dark King pointed out "Since my Dark Destroyer is a Dark-attributed monster, my One-Hundred Eyes Dragon can use his effect! Therefore, now he can absorb your Shining Flare Wingman!" Big's eyes soon opened wide, as the spirit of his Shining Flare Wingman was seen flying directly towards the One-Hundred Eyes Dragon and entered his body, as the dragon roared and began emitting a dark glow (3000 + 2500: 5500 ATK!) Big looked on, completely aware he was able to counter-attack whatever was coming, but the question was...why?
"Is everything the Dark King told me true?" Big asked himself, as he looked down at the ground and closed his eyes, awaiting his fate. He then asked himself "Do I really have no spirit left in me? I'm just a has-been? The fate of the entire world hangs in the balance, but maybe it's better if I let someone else fight this battle! After all, I'm just a freak!" As this occured in his head, the Dark King announced "Now, One-Hundred Eyes Dragon! Attack his Air Neos and bring me victory!" The One-Hundred Eyes Dragon began to open his mouth as Little flew towards the area and shouted "BIG, LOOK OUT!" By then, Big's eyes shot open and realized "Out of my self-pity, I forgot my family! I might be a has-been, but I will not desert my family, nor my cards! I made that mistake once before, and I will not make that mistake ever again! If this is the end of my career, I'm gonna fight like hell until the day I die!" By then, the One-Hundred Eyes Dragon fired directly at Air Neos, as Big announced "Trap Card Open: Mirror Force!" Big's trap card opened, as a barrier of reflective glass appeared in front of Air Neos and absorbed the attack. "WHAT?" The Dark King shouted and asked "But you were about to give into the darkness! I was about to win this duel!" Big blinked, as he hardened his face and said "You might be right about me being a has-been, a shell with no spirit left, but I still have a family to protect and I'm gonna give it everything I've got to protect them no matter what." The Dark King could only look on in horror, as Little shouted "OH, YEA! Take that, jackass!" Big smiled and announced "Thanks to Mirror Force, I ca reflect you own attack right back at you!" The Dark King's face, already in horror, instantly turned to panic as the glass barrier exploded in front of Big, but not before reflecting the eneryg of the One-Hundred Eyes Dragon right back at the creature who attacked, as the One-Hundred Eyes Dragon roared in terrible pain before he was covered in a large explosion of dust.
"Got him!" Big announced, when the dust settled! However, the One-Hundred Eyes Dragon had survived (3000 ATK), as Big realized something "I forgot your Dark Destroyer can sacrifice the monster it's equipped to itself to prevent it's destruction. In this case, you did the same thing!" The Dark King chuckled, though lightly, and said "Well, you're alot smarter than I thought! Most people actually fall for my words of doubt. You, however, relied on your family to bring you out of the darkness." Big turned to his sister, who landed right next to him and smiled, as he then said "In this crazy world, my family are the most important people in my life." The Dark King soon saw the spirits of the Shining Flare Wingman, Neos & Winged Kuriboh right behind Big, as he said "I see now! The true reason you reflected my attack was to save your monsters, not because you didn't care but because they are important to you." Big nodded to the Dark King and told him "Before I knew I had a sister, before I had kids and before I even became a teacher, these cards were my closest friends...my nakama! Our bond was broken once, but I will not let that happen again!" The Dark King, though silent, stood there and said "My turn is over! Now finish this duel!"
Big nodded and drew his card (Assault Armor) as he said "As you wish! I activate the Equip. Magic card Assault Armor!" Big's new magic card gave Air Neos a new gold armor, as Big stated "Thanks to this card, Air Neos gains 300 ATK points, and that's just enough to destroy your One-Hundred Eyes Dragon!" Air Neos started giving out a golden glow as his power rose (3000 + 300: 3300 ATK!) Big then announced "Air Neos, attack now!" Air Neos nodded, as his wings launched slashes of air at the One-Hundred Eyes Dragon who roared in pain before exploding, as the Dark King lost 300 LP.
(Dark King: 200 LP)
Big then announced "Next, I activate the 2nd effect of Assault Armor! By sending it to the graveyard, Air Neos can attack one more time!" Air Neos' new armor disappeared, as his power dropped (3300 to 3000 ATK). Big then announced "Air Neos, attack his life points directly!" Air Neos nodded, as he fired one last wave of air slashes at the Dark King, who opened his arms wide and took the direct hit, ending the duel!
(Dark King: 0; End of Duel)
Air Neos & Neo Space disappeared as Big asked the Dark King "You okay?" The Dark King, by now looked at Big and actually smirked as he replied "Never felt better!" The 2 simply began a staredown, as the Dark King soon started walking towards Big and said "Since you have defeated me, I will allow this planet to be spared of my apperance any longer and take my leave. So, here! This card belongs to the girl!" The Dark King throws the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon card back to Big, who caught it. The Dark King, soon announced "However, before I leave, I am obligated to leave you with a trophy as proof of your victory over me!" The Dark King takes a card out of his graveyard and hands it to Big, who takes it (Super Polymerization)! Big soon asks "You're giving me this card?" The Dark King nods and replies "Yes! I don't need it anymore! So, you better take good care of that card, becuase one day I will return to reclaim it!" The Dark King soon flew upward into the sky as the large meteor he appeared with soon flew into the sky alongside with him and the 2 flew off into the recess of space. "Well, that was unmemorable!" Little said, as Big looked at the Super Polymerization card and told himself "I'm not sure why he suddenly changed his attitude, but with the way things are now, we can use all the help we can get."
Meanwhile, at an undisclosed location...
Some of the members had arrived after hearing Yubel's screams of horror as Dark Marik enters the room. One of them, taking his hood off to reveal Kaworu, asks "What has happened?" Dark Marik looks at his allies and reveals "Yubel has betrayed us, so she needed to be punished!" They seemed confused, as Dark Marik takes a card out and shows it to be Yubel! "You didn't!" Kaworu started to say, but could not finished the sentence, as Dark Marik soon said "Oh, I did! Now we do this my way!"
The ground around the area started to shake, as cracks started appearing around the area. Soon, darkness itself started to rise from the ground, as the shape of an unusual monster started to rise. The creature roared before slowly returning into the earth itself.
End of Episode 20!
With that, Episode 20 comes to an end! Now that we got that out of the way, it's time to get down to business, as our next episode will be a 2-for-1 special. BTW, sorry if the recent episodes seem kind of forced. Anyway, here's the preview for the next episode:
Returning back to the world of Evangelion, Dark Marik hatches his plan to distract Big long enough for him to steal the 3 Egyptian God Cards! He sends someone deep into Terminal Dogma to destroy Lillith, the 2nd Angel, which causes Big to follow the unidentified person inside, resulting in a duel where Big must fend off a posessed Yubel, who is forced to do battle against Big in order to get her freedom. As for Dark Marik, he goes after Shinji, only to be cut off by Shinji, as well as Asuka & Rei, as a 3-on-1 duel commences for the fate of the Egyptian God Cards! However, our heroes are completely unaware that Dark Marik has a card that can completely neutralize all 3 of them, one at a time...
And now, before we get to the 'card of the chapter', it's time for a very special preview:
(The scene shows a man wearing a black & white mask standing over a field in flames, as a large group of heroes are on the ground. The man laughs and shouts "Excellent! I am the ruler of all time & all dimensions! All will bow before me!" A random hero, Big, rises to his knees and replies "Never!"
M. Brothers Productions present...It's 9th Anniversary Special!
The man fires a beam made up of cards at Evangelion Unit 1, as it is suddenly trapped in a barrier of cards and disappears. Big, from nearby, shouts "SHINJI!' as the man in the mask chuckles.
"I am the one known as King Aizen!" the man says, and then adds "All dimensions of time & space will die and be reborn of my rule!"
"If all dimensions fall, then nothing can stop King Aizen!" Sara says, as Big wraps his fists and says "Well then, he won't be expecting me!"
"Then allow me to help!" says a mysterious person, as everyone turns around to spot Tsukasa Kadoya! "Decade?" Big asks, as Tsukasa nods!
"No one can stop me!" King Aizen announces, as Big and Decade are surrounded by explosions all around them.
"NO ONE!" King Aizen shouts, as a dark version of Slifer the Sky Dragon fires it's Thunderforce Strike attack at E-Hero Neos, who's covered in it's blast.
"The way things are..." Asuka says, and then adds "We can't stop him!"
"Our world is destined to fall!" Misato says, as he soon looks down at the ground, the fear evident within her!
(*The music of Kamen Ride Den-O hits, as Den-O appears with Big & Decade!*)
Inside the Den-Liner The Owner tells our heroes "King Aizen is not only interfering with other dimension, but with the timeline as well."
"If this keeps up..." Ryotaro says, and then adds "King Aizen wil rip all of time & space apart!"
"My name is Rebecca!" says a young woman with blue & black eyes, as she adds "King Aizen is also a threat to my timeline, and I can't let him get away with it!"
(*The theme from Yu-Gi-Oh! plays, as Big & Rebecca comfront Yugi Muto in his timeline.*)
"Please help us, Yugi Muto!" Big pleaded, as Yugi nodded and announced "Alright! Let's do this!"
(*The theme from Sonic X plays, as Sonic stands next to Big & Ryotaro!*)
"It's been a long time since we last met, Big! You ready?" Sonic asks, as Big bumps fists with him and replies "You got it!"
(*The scene changes to Yugi, Big & Rebecca staring at King Aizen, this time in a valley where nothing exist!*)
"King Aizen, duel us! We'll determine the future of all worlds with this one duel!" Big announces, as Yugi & Rebecca nod in agreement!
Big's eyes glow red as the spirits of Neos, Winged Kuriboh & Yubel appear behind Big, as he announces "Prepare to get the biggest beatdown of your life!"
Rebecca's starts to emit a blue glow around her body, as the spirit of Astral appears behind her, as she announces "I won't let you destroy our future! It's game time!"
Yugi's Millennium Puzzle begins to glow and vibrate violently, as he transforms into Yami, who announces "King Aizen, it's time to duel!"
The 3 activate their duel disks and stand tall against King Aizen, ready!
All Heroes Assenble: The Battle for Space & Time!
