Chapter 8

The Final Duel: Jaden vs Lucifer

Jaden and his friends arrived at the top of the temple where sat upon his thrown was Lucifer. He sat at his thrown waiting for his opponent, and upon gazing at his enemies he chuckled as he stood up. "So, I take it you defeated my warriors, but it matters not." said Lucifer with a confident smile. "Why's that?" asked Syrus because he was pretty confused. "You'll find out soon enough." replied Lucifer. He soon activated what appeared to be a duel Disk resembling one of his own wings. "So, who will be my opponent?" demanded the dark lord, and this time Jaden stepped up to face him, unaware the mysterious dark power fully awoke, "I will." Jaden responded. Lucifer smirked and responded, "Excellent, then let's begin."

"DUEL!"

Jaden: 4000

Lucifer: 4000

"I'll take the first turn." declared Lucifer, as he drew his card. "I summon Dark Blade in Attack mode (Atk: 1800), Now I'll set one card face down and end my turn. Lucifer smirked making Jaden nervous a little, but that didn't stop him. "All right, Time to Get Your Game On! I Draw!" Jaden Cried as he began his move. "I Set one monster on the field in Defense Mode! Then I'll throw down a face down and call it a turn." Lucifer was quite impressed with how quick the boy was, sensing his dark powers growing, he began to think that this might not be so quick as he originally intended. "Now, It's my turn. Draw. I summon Pitch Dark Dragon, use it's union ability to equip him to Dark Blade!" This caused the dragon to appear and Dark Blade got on riding it, and boost his power. (Attack: 2200). "Now I play my face down, Mystical Space Typhoon! to take out your face down card." A powerful wind blow his face down card away, and he unleashed an attack on his monster. Jaden cringed knowing his clayman bit the dust as his opponent smirked and ended his turn, he chuckle, "Is this all you have to give for this match up, if so then I'm disappointed." Jaden only got mad at that but didn't let it get to him as he had a chance to strike back, as his hidden powers slowly began to emerge. "I draw and play The Warrior Returning Alive! Thanks to this I can get one Warrior type monster back to my hand; Mainly my Clayman! Next I'll use Polymerization to merge him with Sparkman that's currently in my hand to summon, Elemental Hero Thunder Giant!" Sure enough, a huge metallic Giant with gold armor with white trimmings and four large metal plates appears with electricity appeared (Attack: 2400). "I activate it's special ability, thanks to this I can discard one card and take down one monster whose original attack is less than his own. So say goodbye to your monster." And Just like that Lucifer's monster was vaporized into thin air. Jaden then declared a direct attack but Lucifer smirked, "I play Scapegoat! So I can create four tokens." Jaden then targeted the pink goat and it was destroyed, Jaden got a little bummed out as he ended his turn. Lucifer drew a card and smiled. "I sacrifice these three tokens in order to summon forth The Wicked Dreadroot!" The group soon encounter a giant demon like creature appear basically resembling what he would like as a duel monster card with green skin, black legs and leathery bat wings, with bones as extra detailing (Attack: 4000). Suddenly, Jaden's Thunder Giant lost half of his strength, Lucifer laughed as he explained, "My Dreadroot has an ability which lets him cut all but his strength in half." Jaden got surprised when this happened, and witness the demon's attack took it down and sit his life points down by more than half.

Jaden: 1600

Lucifer: 4000

Lucifer smirk turned into a wicked smile, as he then played rewrite, letting him change the affect of one card. "I now play Obligatory summon, and summon any more monsters that fall into same category as the one already in play, but luckily, with Rewrite. I can summon two more monsters. Meet The Wicked Eraser, and The Wicked Avatar." Soon, a monstrous skeletal dragon appear, along with a huge sphere of pure Darkness emerged. Lucifer then explained, "Eraser gains 1000 points multiplied by the number of cards in play, and if he's destroyed by a card affect, then all cards are destroyed. Avatar adds his own one hundred points with the attack of the strongest monster that's already in play. Furthermore, No spell and trap cards can be used for two turns when summoned." Now Jaden was in a lot of trouble, he couldn't do anything for two turns except wait for the effect of Avatar to end in two turns, but he know a good card to help get rid of his three wicked cards. "I end my turn." Jaden knew he had to be careful now, luckily he had some good card for the moment. "Alright, time for a come back." Jaden thought in his head, and drew his card, then smiled. He just drew a card to help me out with this situation. "I summon Neo Spacian Grand Mole, in Attack Mole!" Sure enough, a small mole with armor that resembled a drill appeared into the battle (Attack: 900 - 450). Lucifer was just dumbfounded what hope would get from summoning a mole would he gain. "What is this insult?" Lucifer asked in rage. Jaden smirked as he answered, "What's the problem? Oh, your wondering why I summoned this guy aren't you?" His opponent simply nodded. "Well, I would tell you, but, I'd rather show you. Grand Mole attack The Wicked Eraser!" Now Lucifer thought that Jaden was plain crazy, what would happen would only end in his victory only to see something happen differently, Jaden didn't lose any life points, and both monsters went back to each others hand. Jaden explained what happened, "When Grand Mole attacks another monster, or gets attacked, I don't take any damage, and both monsters get returned to our hands." His opponent only got enraged with this. Jaden smirked as he ended his turn. Lucifer was up now, and decided to end the match right now. "Wicked Avatar! END THIS!" he commanded, as Avatar began to charge an attack a strange monster appeared rambling a bell as it rang. Jaden smirked and explain, When you declare a Direct Attack, I can special summon Battle Fader in Defense Mode to cancel it out." Lucifer just got angry, "Fine then, Dreadroot get rid of that Battle Fader!" he commanded as his demon smashed down the bell." Lucifer then grated his teeth as he ended his turn. Jaden smirked as he drew his card and stated, "Since it's been two turns, Avatar's magic is gone so now we can use our Spells and Traps again, Now I can summon the on monster to help me win this duel! First I activate Pot of Greed, to draw two cards from my deck! Next I activate The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh, in order summon my partner, Winged Kuriboh!" Soon, a small brown ball of fur with two angel wings appeared, it also had to little purple eyes with green claws and feet (Attack: 300 - 150). "Now I discard two cards in my hand in order to activate Transcendent Wings! Now Winged Kuriboh has gone up to Level 10!" Just as stated his monster turned into a more draconic creature with bigger wings and a new ability, making Lucifer gasp in fear. "I now sacrifice him to crush all your monsters, and you take damage equal to their combine attack power!" Lucifer cringed as his two monsters were turned into dust as he life points rapidly dropped down to zero.

Jaden: 1600 Winner

Lucifer: 0

The light was so blinding that Lucifer only saw a shadow of an armored man in front of Jaden as Seiya stepped in front of the two and drew a golden arrow, releasing it straight into his heart. Lucifer agonized in pain the arrow went through him and crashed into his statue started to crumble and fall apart. Lucifer then disappeared into smoke as the temple began to crumble. Everyone began to run out and fear and surprise as the ground began to fall apart. The group managed to get to safety a the temple turned to dust and sank back into the ground.
