Hey gang! I'm so, so sorry for the late post! Ardee and I were a bit busy with real life stuff, so this didn't get done on time, sadly, but he sent me the finished version last week. Unfortunately, after pecking away at this all weekend, I didn't get it ready to post till today. At any rate, I apologize for this late a chapter. I will have the next one up in two weeks, if not before, so please do bear with the two of us. Thanks.
Moving along to the reviews now.
Supreme-Chaos-Angel: Lol, glad I may or may not have added too many cards, hehe. At any rate, yeah, Chimera is a bit overpowered, but at the same time, it isn't invincible. Heh, yeah, Burst Stream should have been in there, but no such luck, and besides, Chimera would have survived the blast. Eh, you never know with Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon. It may stand more of a chance than you think. True, Haou is starting to let his anger cloud his judgment. LOL! That was random about Lucifer, hehe. Thanks for the review!
Raymond: Thanks about the interesting part. True, I did make the mistake of having Illidan attack Seto first with his monsters since Malicious Fiend forces them to attack it first. My bad on that one. Thanks for the review!
Well, that's it. Thanks, both of you, for your reviews. I appreciate it.
Again, sorry for the lateness of this chapter. I will try to have something the week of the 30th for an update, if not before since I have a few days off next week (Thanksgiving and the day after). Enjoy!

Chapter 41
Staring at the majestic looking metallic dragon, Illidan folded his arms over his chest and slightly smirked. "So, you've summoned it. Good, now I can fully crush you into dust!"
Looking at the dragon himself, Haou felt himself let out a silent gasp at the sight of the dragon that was said to be nothing but a legend. "I have heard many say this dragon is nothing but a myth, but now I see it before me."
"As you know Illidan, my mighty dragon gains 300 attack points for every Dragon Type monster in my Graveyard." Seto spoke up with a famous smirk still plastered on his face. Holding his Duel Disk up and pointing at the Graveyard Slot, he calmly said "Right now, I have a grand total of six dragons in there, meaning my dragon gains 1800 extra attack points (3000 + 300 * 6 = 4800/2500)!"
Releasing a mighty roar that could be heard throughout the eternal dark realm of Dark World, the dragon began glowing with a light blue aura while it's power increased.
"To boot, my dragon is immune to all card effects."
In a low grunt, Illidan remarked "Only those cards that directly target it. I can easily wipe it out with Chaos Emperor Dragon on my turn."
"That is should your dragon survive that long, Illidan." Seto fired back with an even tone. Pulling the remaining card from his hand, he jammed it into his Duel Disk, saying "I activate the spell known as Dragon's Heart! This allows me to select three Dragon Type monsters from my deck and discard them to the Graveyard. Once I do that, my Blue-Eyes will gain an additional 1000 attack points, and to add insult to injury, my dragon gains 900 extra attack points due to it's special ability."
Pulling his deck out, the duelist in a white trench coat sifted through his deck for a moment till he finally selected three cards. Showing them to Illidan momentarily, he said "My choices are simple. I send Cave Dragon, Different Dimension Dragon, and Kaiser Glider to the Grave, making my dragon that much stronger (4800 + 1000 + 300 * 3 = 6700/2500)!"
One by one, the cards slid into Seto's Graveyard, till none were left. At that time, the metallic dragon released yet another horrific roar, seemingly shaking Dark World to it's very core from the volume of it.
"With that power boost, my dragon can take out any of your monsters. No monster left in your deck has this kind of power. Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, obliterate his Chaos Emperor Dragon with Shining Neutron Blast!"
Releasing a mighty roar once more, the metallic glowing dragon opened it's jaws, revealing a sphere of light blue energy. Gathering up more power, the dragon finally released the sphere and sent it hurtling towards the weaker black dragon. The sphere ripped completely through the dragon with ease before exploding before Illidan, sending him skidding backwards five feet.
Coming to a stop and flashing an angered look at Seto, Illidan's crimson eyes pulsated slightly for a moment before he ground out "You…"
Calming himself, he icily said "Let's not forget Kaiba, the more damage you do to me, the more powerful my Chaos Demon Chimera becomes (3662 + 1100 = 4762/1000)."
Growling softly while it's body's strength increased, the black plasma creature body glowed with a light red aura. Finishing up, the creature turned a cruel eye towards the glowing dragon, which let out a mighty roar to stave off the stare.
"I must end my turn now, but know this, I will save you, Illidan (6700 – 1000 = 5700/2500)!" (Illidan = 2627; Seto = 7800, Haou = 657)
Drawing his new card, Haou eyed it for a moment before smirking. "I set one card and activate Card of Demise. I now draw till I hold five cards in my hand, but in five turns I must discard my hand."
Picking up five cards at once, the black armored duelist examined the new cards and slightly smirked. "I reveal my face down spell, Monster Reincarnation. For this, I must discard a card to activate, so I toss this worthless card."
Placing the card into his Graveyard Slot, Haou waited patiently while it was sucked down into the slot. Once in, he added "I may now return one monster from my Graveyard to my hand, so I pick Evil Hero Malicious Edge."
Sliding out, the monster card came to rest at the edge of Haou's Graveyard Slot. Picking it up, he slid it into his left hand and selected another card and slapped it to his Duel Disk, saying "I special summon Evil Hero Inferno Prodigy (300/600)."
Materializing instantly onto the field was a creature with black and brown armor on it's body, black elongated horns on it's head, black bat like wings on it's back, and a long black tail. The creature evilly smirked, seemingly plotting.
"When my opponent controls a monster, but I do not, I can special summon him. Next, I sacrifice him to summon Evil Hero Malicious Edge (2600/1800)."
Vanishing in a flash, the black and brown armored creature disappeared, making room for the familiar dark blue armored warrior with needle like spikes sticking out from his hands.
Holding another card up, Haou calmly said "I activate this spell, Riryoku. This card halves the attack points of one monster, your Chaos Demon Chimera (4762 / 2 = 2381/1000) in particular, and adds those points to another, being my Malicious Edge (2600 + 2381 = 4981/1800)."
Glowing with a sickly color red, the black plasma creature let out a pained cry while it's strength was instantly cut in half. At the same time, the dark blue armored warrior let out a cry while his body glowed with a bright red aura as his strength increased.
"Impressive Haou, but a wasted effort." Illidan snidely remarked. "You quickly forget that Chaos Demon Chimera can't be destroyed due to battle, so long as I remove a Dark Attribute monster from my Graveyard. Last I checked, I still had plenty left."
"Perhaps you should check once more after I activate my trap, Hero's Rule 1 Five Freedoms. This forces both of us to remove from play five cards of a certain type, which is my choice. My pick is monsters, so remove from play your five Dark Attribute monsters Illidan, since it is all that you have." Haou calmly demanded.
Glaring fiercely at Haou, Illidan held his hand over his Graveyard Slot, which slowly pushed all five of his remaining monster cards out. Picking them up with anger visibly flashing in his eyes, he placed them into his removed from play slot. At the same time, Haou did the same thing.
"Perhaps you find this ironic, Illidan. After all, it was this body that defeated you once before when Jaden was in control of himself. And now, it seems as though you shall fall once more to this body, but this time in a more humiliating and crushing defeat."
Pointing at the plasma creature, the black armored duelist calmly said "Go Malicious Edge, crush his pathetic creature!"
Leaping into the air, the dark blue armored warrior flung his needles at the weaker plasma creature. The needles easily slid through the creature, making it howl out in pain and explode, sending a plume of smoke up into the air and hiding the entire field within itself. After a moment, the smoke cleared, revealing a seething Illidan sitting on one of his knees and lightly panting.
"Now do you understand, Illidan!?" Seto angrily questioned. "There is no chance of victory for you. All you have left are your Dark Armed Dragon and Dark Magician of Chaos, both of which are weaker than my dragon. Even if you run the risk of attacking Haou, you will leave yourself wide open for a devastating attack by my Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon. And as you very well known, it cannot be stopped!"
Flashing a brief glance of irritation at his partner, Haou smartly added "What my partner means is that you will fail to conquer me. I am not one to be trifled with, Illidan Stormrage. Your time has come to an end."
"In the meantime, I activate Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two new cards."
Snapping off two cards, Haou glanced at them momentarily before sliding both into his empty Spell/Trap Slots. "I set these cards and move to my End Phase, in which two things happen. First, thanks to Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy being sacrificed, I draw one card. Next, Malicious Edge loses the extra strength he gained (2600/1800). At that, I end my turn." (Illidan = 27; Seto = 7800, Haou = 657)
Clenching his fist tightly while standing with anger flaring from his crimson eyes, Illidan drew his card rapidly and angrily yelled "It's time to do what I should have done previously! Annihilate Haou and his pathetic creature Dark Magician of Chaos!"
Twirling his staff, the mage stopped it at last and pointed it directly at the weaker dark blue armored warrior. Without hesitation, he released a burst of black magical energy that crackled upon being fired.
Before the blast could hit, the warrior glowed with a light red aura for a moment. From the aura, a set of dull gray armor that had numerous spiked edges appeared on the warrior. With a maniacal laugh, the warrior slammed it's fist into the oncoming blast, stopping it effectively. Surprising the mage, the warrior flung the blast at him, shattering the mage on contact.
"Sorry Illidan, but you'll have to do better than that. I revealed my trap, Sakuretsu Armor, when you attacked. This destroys the attacking monster, meaning you're down to one monster now." Haou stated.
Grinding his teeth together, Illidan snarled out "I've had enough of this! Dark Armed Dragon, destroy that creature now!"
Releasing a mighty roar, the dark gray dragon took a began to swing it's tail at the weaker warrior, only to stop when a totem pole shot up out of the ground. Instantly, it released a shrill shriek, causing the dragon to stop moving and lowly grunt out.
"I activate Command Silencer. This negates your attack. After that, I may draw one card." Haou calmly stated while picking up a card.
Angered greatly, Illidan roughly jammed two cards into his Spell/Trap Slots. "I set these and end!" (Illidan = 27; Seto = 7800, Haou = 657)
Quietly drawing his card, Seto held it up and calmly said "It's been five turns since I activated Card of Demise, so I must discard my hand. Luckily for me, this is a Dragon Type monster known as Thunder Dragon, so Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon gets stronger (5700 + 300 = 6000/2500)."
Placing the card into his Graveyard Slot, Seto began to say something, but was cut off by Illidan shouting out "I activate this trap, Threatening Roar! When I activate this, you can't declare an attack this turn. Too bad, you won't be doing anything this turn."
"Why you…" Seto growled lowly with frustration visible. "Fine Illidan, I end, but you know Haou will do something, so enjoy your brief reprieve." (Illidan = 27; Seto = 7800, Haou = 657)
Picking up a card, Haou examined it for a moment before saying "I switch Malicious Edge into defense and set one card. End turn." (Illidan = 27; Seto = 7800, Haou = 657)
Drawing his own card, Illidan roughly jammed his new card into his Duel Disk, saying "I activate the equip spell Hellish Absorption! This card gives Dark Armed Dragon 500 more attack points (2800 + 500 = 3300/1000) and every time it destroys a monster, my opponent takes 500 points of direct damage. Go, crush Haou's pathetic warrior!"
Roaring loudly, the dark gray dragon swung it's tail into action and slammed it into the dark blue armored warrior. The warrior tried to resist the attack, but was unable to due to the ferocity of the dragon's power. Finally, the warrior shattered, leaving a small explosion in it's wake.
"You may have destroyed my monster, but not my life points. I play my trap, Fusion Guard. By discarding a random Fusion Type monster from my deck, I can negate the effect damage." Haou informed while pulling out his fusion deck. Selecting a random card, he looked at it and held it out to show Illidan.
"My selection is Evil Hero Infernal Sniper. It was a useless card anyways."
Growling lightly while watching the card being sucked into Haou's Graveyard Slot, Illidan grit out "I end my turn with a face down." (Illidan = 27; Seto = 7800, Haou = 657)
Silently drawing his card, Seto examined it momentarily before calling out "Time to end this duel! Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, destroy his Dark Armed Dragon with Shining Neutron Blast!"
Roaring loudly, the large metallic dragon opened it's jaws, revealing a sphere of light blue energy. Just as the dragon was about to release it's blast, a card on Illidan's field suddenly raised up.
"Hold that thought, Seto, for I play a trap that shall make you happy, perhaps." Illidan smartly remarked. "I reveal Absolute End, which has all attacks this turn committed by your monsters become direct attacks on myself."
"Wait, you're making my attack a direct one!?" Seto roared in shock.
Receiving a nod, Seto glanced at his dragon and watched as the blast was released and sent flying directly towards his former friend. "That makes no sense! Why allow me to direct attack him!? He'll lose either way, but this way he'll probably be killed alone by the blast!"
Smirking at the confusion on his opponent's face, Illidan calmly pointed at another face down card, which slowly rose up. "I activate another trap, with this one being called Dimension Wall. Thanks to this trap, instead of me taking the Battle Damage, you take it for me. Looks like your dragon is about to obliterate a chunk of your life points."
"So that's why!" Seto declared with realization setting in.
Appearing before the oncoming sphere of light blue energy instantly was a multicolored rift. The blast was swallowed up completely by the rift. Behind Seto, another multicolored rift suddenly opened up, with light blue energy starting to pour out of it.
Turning to see this, he held out the single card in his hand, saying "I'm not going down that easily Illidan! I play my spell, Ring of Defense, which saves my life points!"
Materializing immediately before Seto was a green metallic ring with four panels folded in towards the center. Slowly beginning to spin, the ring's momentum flipped the panels out one by one, making it take the shape of a defensive shield. The ring picked up more speed till the blast finally struck it. Upon being struck, the ring flung the blast away in spurts, sending part of it flying harmlessly away onto the ground. At long last, the ring came to a stop once the blast subsided.
Letting out a small sigh of relief, Seto returned his attention to Illidan, who was smirking proudly. "I'm done for this turn, but know you can't keep this up forever, Illidan." (Illidan = 27; Seto = 7800, Haou = 657)
Picking up a new card, Haou smirked and turned it to face Illidan. "It's time I finish you, once and for all. I activate Dark Calling. This spell allows me to remove from play monsters in my Graveyard or field to call forth a Fusion Monster like I would with Dark Fusion. I remove from my Graveyard The Dark – Hex-Sealed Fusion (1000/1600), which I count as Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500/3850), and Evil Hero Malicious Edge to create Evil Hero Gaia (?/0)."
Materializing onto the field in ghost like forms were the dark blue armored warrior with needles held in his hands, along with the black rock like creature with pink tentacles sticking out from it. The two swirled together with little warning, forming a bright light. From the light, a new winged creature in gray rock like armor that covered most of his body. It had a long tail with an arrow head on the end, a pair of clawed feet, clawed hands, a rock like helmet that covered all but it's mouth, and a set of bat like wings with red skin and lava like veins pumping through them. The creature let out a mighty battle cry, sending out a wave of fear towards the dark gray dragon, but the dragon stood it's ground instead.
Eyeing the creature, Illidan calmly asked with a cocked eyebrow "Attack points?"
"Dark Gaia is a Fusion Summon that consists of a Fiend Type and a Rock Type set of monsters. It's attack points are equal to the original attack points of the two monsters that I fused together. As you have no doubt surmised, the reason I choose Valkyrion was it's points (2600 + 3500 = 6100/0)."
Glowing with a dark red aura, the powerful stone armored warrior let out a yell while his strength increased.
Lightly chuckling, Illidan clapped his hands together slightly in a mocking gesture, calmly saying "Impressive. I see, so Evil Hero Malicious Fiend was only the opening act for the true power that lurked within your deck."
"The most powerful of my Evil Heroes is on the field, Illidan. Your feeble attempt at victory is over." Haou declared. Pointing an armored finger at the dark gray dragon, he called out "Finish him off, Dark Gaia. Dark Catastrophe!"
Holding his arms out while rising into the air, the stone armored warrior spread his wings out to full length and let out a yell. Lava instantly erupted from the ground behind the warrior, with a large rock rising from out of it. The rock instantly broke into millions of pieces and went flying towards the dark gray dragon.
Smirking, Illidan calmly remarked "You just never learn to check the field, do you?"
Eyeing the remaining face down card Illidan had, Haou began to say something, but was cut off by Illidan. "Your mistake will be costly! I reveal Sakuretsu Armor! As you know, this powerful card will destroy your feeble Dark Gaia."
Forming around the dragon in a dark glow in a second was a set of dull gray armor, which had numerous spikes sticking out of it. The rocks struck the armor hard, which held fast. Within a moment, the rock suddenly reversed course and began pelting the rock armored warrior, who released a mighty cry before shattering into millions of pixels.
Eyes widening at the destruction of his creature, the black armored duelist began to say something, but no words formed. Insane cackling instantly filled the air, diverting the armored duelist's attention to the wild brown haired duelist.
"Your face is priceless! You actually thought you could defeat me!? How foolish of you, Jaden!" Illidan sharply remarked.
Remaining quiet for a moment, Haou finally replied "I end my turn." (Illidan = 27; Seto = 7800, Haou = 657)
Drawing a new card, Illidan smirked at it and turned the card towards the pair. "I'll begin with a familiar card. I play Pot of Greed, allowing me to pick up a few new cards."
Snapping off two cards, he smirked evilly at both. "It's time I crushed you both. I activate a spell that will reshape this entire duel. I play Chaos Revisited! This allows me to special summon any monster with the word 'Chaos' or 'Envoy' in it's name from my deck, hand, Graveyard, or removed from play pile to the field, so long as I give up half my life points. My choice is simple. I choose Dark Magician of Chaos (2800/2600)."
In a glow of dark energy, the blue skinned mage wearing tight fitting black leather armor with a staff in hand and a strange mage's hat reappeared onto the field. His gaze shifted from Seto to Haou before he finally looked away.
"With the return of this worthless mage, his effect is triggered. I can now return one spell from my Graveyard to my hand, and my choice is Chaos Revisited."
Holding his hand over his Graveyard Slot, the wild brown haired duelist smirked as the spell card slowly slid out and into his awaiting hand. Taking hold of it, he shifted it into his left hand and picked another card.
"I activate another spell, known as Double Spell. By discarding a spell card, like Chaos Fusion, I can use a spell from one of your two's Graveyard. I choose Seto's Pot of Greed, so I pick up two more cards."
Silently drawing two cards, he examined the new cards and smirked at them. "I activate Chaos Revisited once more, allowing me to pay half my life points again, this time to revive Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End (3000/2500)!"
Rematerializing onto the field slowly was the powerful black dragon with an orange mane and mighty wings. The dragon let out a soft roar while casting a sideways glance at the blue skinned mage before returning his vision forward.
"And now, with my dragon's return, the stage is set. I first activate this spell, Mystik Wok. With it, I can sacrifice one of my monsters and add their attack or defense points to my score. I choose Dark Armed Dragon, boosting my score by 3300 life points."
With a light glow, the dark gray dragon vanished into particles while the brown haired duelist's life points increased.
"Now then, I summon Witch of the Black Forest (1100/1200) in defense."
Materializing onto the field slowly in a kneeling position with her hands clasped together was a purple haired woman with a pale skin complexion, wearing a set of long flowing black robes.
Growling lightly, Seto muttered "Damn you…"
"Damned I might be, but it is the two of you that are damned forever to walk in the darkness. At that, it is time to say farewell to you, Haou."
Darkly chuckling, he added "I activate Chaos Emperor Dragon's special ability. By paying 1000 life points, I can now destroy all cards on the field and in our hands. Go, Infinite Blaster!"
Releasing a light growl, the black dragon took flight and moved to the middle of the dueling field. Landing softly, the dragon closed it's eyes and began to glow with a light white aura. Slowly, bit by bit, the glow of the dragon's aura began increasing to a blinding white light. With a thunderous roar, the dragon exploded at long last, causing both Haou and Seto to scream out in pain from the force of the explosion. One by one, the creatures and other cards on the field were swallowed up by the explosion, hiding everything in the area.
Gradually after five minutes, the smoke from the blast subsided, with Illidan surveying the damage. In the aftermath of the carnage, the remains of the few trees that had survived the pre-battle festivities were burnt to a crisp. The ground was turned black from the sheer force of the explosion, with nothing but the three duelists remaining.
Weakly breathing while on his knees, the smoldering form of Seto slowly, but defiantly, raised his head up to glare up at a smirking Illidan. Finally tearing away his gaze, he glanced beside of himself to find the battered and smoldering form of a duelist wearing a red jacket with a black undershirt and gray pants.
"Jaden…" Seto murmured lowly.
Light chuckling filled the air once more, this time causing Seto to look back at Illidan, who he spied was the source. "So, Jaden has returned to his true self. Thank God. That annoying personality of Haou's was beginning to grow a bit boring to me. Once he comes to, I'll make short work of him."
Struggling to stand back up, Seto glared at the wild brown haired duelist and darkly muttered "That's if you make it past me."
"Don't be absurd, Seto." Illidan grunted in reply. "You don't stand a chance against me, especially since you lost your dragon. Ah yes, that reminds me, we need to calculate the damage that you just took. Since I had four cards in play, you had three…"
"Actually, Illidan, if you look closer, you'll find I had only one." Seto sharply remarked.
Frowning, the wild brown haired duelist glanced closer and noted that one card was still in his opponent's Spell/Trap Slots, along with the dragon card was on his Duel Disk. In an indignant grunt, he asked "What did you do?"
"While you were busy with thinking of taking Haou out, I activated my trap, Interdimensional Matter Transporter. This allowed me to remove from play my Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon just as your dragon released it's blast. Plus, since I lost a face down card, you only got credit for destroying one of my cards." Seto explained.
Lightly growling, Illidan snapped back "Fine then, you only had one card, meaning five thus far. Haou had two face downs, along with a card in his hand, meaning he had three, giving us a total of eight cards on the field at the time. My dragon's effect now takes that number and multiplies it by 300, meaning you lose 2400 life points."
"Very well, but you're wide open for me next turn."
Darkly chuckling, Illidan shook his head and replied "Wrong yet again Seto. Remember, I had Witch of the Black Forest on the field. When she went to the Graveyard, I earned the right to transfer any monster from my deck to my hand, so long as it has 1500 or less defense points."
Pulling his deck out, the brown haired duelist slowly fanned through his cards till he found the one he desired. Pulling it out, he displayed it to his opponent before shuffling his deck back together.
"As you just saw, my selection was Kuriboh. At that, I shall end, meaning your dragon returns."
On cue, a multicolored rift opened above Seto's field. Slowly, the metallic dragon descended from it, releasing a soft growl upon doing so.
"I think that's enough, for now." (Illidan = 2306, Seto = 5400)
Growling lightly while drawing a card, Seto glanced at it and released a grunt of frustration. "Of all times to draw a card I can't use, why now!? Alright, my options are that I have to keep attacking. Illidan can stall me this turn, but next I'll have a shot at his life points, possibly. Both of us are top decking, and right now, I have the advantage with my Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon. He needs something with over 6000 attack points to beat it. I just have to keep fighting, no matter what."
Releasing a small sigh, Seto locked his eyes on Illidan and yelled "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, attack with Shining Neutron Blast!"
Letting out a mighty screech, the dragon took aim and spat out a blast of light blue energy straight at the brown haired duelist. Before the blast could even touch him, a wall of brown furball like creatures with short stubby green arms and legs appeared onto the field. They absorbed the blast easily, keeping it from reaching the dragon's original target.
"See, my Kuriboh has protected me by discarding it." Illidan informed while placing his lone card into his Graveyard Slot.
Clenching his right fist, Seto growled out "I end!" (Illidan = 2306, Seto = 5400)
"Now then, I draw." Illidan declared while picking up a new card. Examining it, he frowned but let out a light chuckle afterwards. "Looks like our game has come to an end, Seto. I activate Card of Demise! As you know, I draw till I hold five cards, and in five turns, I must discard my entire hand."
Pulling five cards off of the top of his deck and placing them into his left hand, Illidan fanned them out and sneered. "I first activate D.D.R – Different Dimension Reincarnation! By tossing out a useless card, I can now special summon one monster from my removed from play pile to the field. My selection is simple, it's my Dark Magician of Chaos (2800/2600)!"
A dark aura suddenly appeared onto the field before Illidan. Slowly rising out of it was the blue skinned mage wearing black tight fitting leather armor with a staff and strange mage's hat on his head. He flicked his red irises for a glance at Seto, but quickly returned his vision to the ground before himself.
"With his return, my mage's special ability returns one spell card to my hand. I choose Chaos Revisited."
Sliding out of his Graveyard Slot and into his awaiting hand was the chosen spell card for the wild brown haired duelist. He instantly flashed it at Seto, saying "And next, I activate Chaos Revisited, allowing me to revive my Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End (3000/2500) for merely half my life points!"
Rising up onto the field in a flash was the large black dragon with a massive wingspan. It took a place next to the blue skinned mage, but didn't growl or make a sound at all.
"Your creatures are impressive Illidan, but you're wasting your time thinking you can defeat my dragon with either of them." Seto informed.
Smirking evilly, Illidan simply replied "You just don't get it, yet. I activate another spell, Foolish Burial! Thanks to this card, I may send a monster from my deck to my Graveyard."
Pulling his deck out and sorting through it, the wild brown haired duelist finally found the card he desired and reshuffled his deck and replaced it in it's slot. Showing the card to Seto, he said "I send Shining Angel to my Graveyard, but don't expect him to remain there for long, for I remove from play both Shining Angel and Kuriboh in order to special summon the mighty Chaos Sorcerer (2300/2000)!"
Gradually, a new human like creature with purple skin, two large ivory white horns on the side of his head, and yellow eyes appeared onto the field. On his chest were a few straps that crisscrossed his body. His shoulders were covered by a set of shoulder pads made up of leather. He had armbands that went from his elbow to his wrists that were black as well, and finally wore a pair of black leather pants and a battle skirt as well. Once fully on the field, the monster let out a small battle cry.
Holding his last card up, Illidan closed his crimson eyes for a moment, only to reveal them once more with a gleam in them that spoke of great destruction. Seeing this, Seto mumbled in his mind "Those eyes, he's enjoying doing this. It's like he has lost the last traces of his humanity in an instant. There is nothing left, nothing but a soulless creature bound to destroy everything and everyone he comes in contact with."
"And now for the card that will devastate you. I activate Chaos Fusion, allowing me to fuse all three of my Chaos creatures together to form your destroyer."
Eyes widening, Seto felt sweat beginning to form on his forehead upon Illidan making his statement. "The power that a fusion of two of his Chaos creatures was almost uncontainable, so what will happen when he fuses three of them together!?"
Glowing one by one, the two mages and the black dragon each took on a black aura. For a moment, nothing else happened, till the three finally lifted off of the ground and began to swirl together slowly. Dark clouds suddenly blotted out the sky, with lightning flashing wildly from them and thunder booming.
Without warning, a blast of lightning slammed into the ground behind Illidan, causing Seto to look away for a moment. Slowly, the light faded, allowing him to look back at the wild brown haired duelist. Behind him stood a massive hulking form of a light blue tinted creature that had a mechanical look to it, with massive black wings jutting out from each shoulder. The creature's arms were large and resembled the purple skinned mage's, except they looked far more deadly and mechanical. In the creature's right hand was a long black staff that had a curled up end with a red orb within it. For the most part, the body of the creature looked like a mixture of a human and dragon. It wore black tight fitting leather armor. The creature's feet were three pronged claws with each leg being rather thick. The creature's skin was a violet color and looked oily but thick. On the creature's head was a black metallic flacon helmet with a rusty grille down that covered it's face, but gave sight to the monster's eyes, which were a dark and evil looking crimson color.
"Welcome to the field Chaos Twilight Lord Omega – Envoy of Destruction (?/?)!"
Eyeing the creature with suspicion in his eyes, Seto softly asked "What the… What the hell is that thing, and how many attack points does it have?"
Darkly chuckling, Illidan icily replied "Lord Omega's attack and defense points are determined by adding up every single Light and Dark Attribute monsters' points in my Graveyard together. Right now, I have six monsters, which are Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End (3000/2500), Dark Magician of Chaos (2800/2600), Chaos Sorcerer (2300/2000), Chaos Demon Chimera – Envoy of Judgment (0/4000), Dark Armed Dragon (2800/1000), and Witch of the Black Forest (1100/1200). Totaled together, that is 12000 attack points and 13300 defense points (3000 + 2800 + 2300 + 0 + 2800 + 1100 = 12000/2500 + 2600 + 2000 + 4000 + 1000 + 1200 = 13300)."
Releasing a mighty growl, the black armored creature's body glowed with a brilliant dark red aura while it's strength increased.
"It has double my dragon's attack points!" Seto exclaimed in complete shock and terror.
"Right you are, Seto." Illidan remarked. "But with great power comes drawbacks, as I'm sure you are well aware of. During the end of the turn that I deal you Battle Damage, I receive direct damage equal to the half of my creature's attack points. Still, that is a price I would be willing to pay, but won't have to due that you won't be here for much longer."
Realizing his opponent was correct, Seto released a sigh of relief and slowly smirked. "I see, you've won. I do have one question thought Illidan. What will you do with me?"
"I told you once before what I would do. I shall repeat myself, just this one time. I am going to take your soul. Now be gone!"
Raising it's staff up, the creature's staff began glowing with a brilliant red aura. In a flash, the staff transformed into a long, blood red demon blade that looked like it was forged from the pits of Hell itself. Sweeping it across through the air before itself, the black armored creature leapt across the field towards the metallic dragon. The dragon was froze in it's spot, seemingly unsure of what to do. With a single swing, the black armored creature cleanly cleaved the dragon's head off of it's body. The head floated through the air for a moment before the dragon's body exploded, sending thunderous shockwaves throughout the area and smoke high into the air.
After a few minutes, the smoke slowly cleared, revealing the form of Seto Kaiba laying on the ground on his stomach. His body slowly began to be engulfed in a black haze, which was pulling him into the Shadow Realm. Weakly looking up at Illidan, he whispered "Who are you?"
Sneering down at the fallen form of his former friend, Illidan brazenly replied "I'm the one Lucifer will learn to fear."
