Everyone thought it was all over, but it wasn't. They succeeded in freeing Yukin from Zeru, and it also freed the other guys from, but it didn't end things. Zeru had his own form and body now. This nightmare is still going on.
"How can this be? How does he have his own form now?" Renji questioned.
"What gives?! How are you still here?!" Yukin called out.
"I believe you were told about the limitless possibilities that dueling energy has." Zeru said. "During the duel, I was absorbing some of that power from the reactor, and the duel only added to it. I've absorbed enough to give me my own form!"
"So we were helping him the whole time? Making him stronger?" Siegrain questioned.
"It would seem so. This man is a real fiend." Jordan said as they all felt played.
"And now it seems like there's no one left to stop me." Zeru said and he might be right. Many of them were hurt and exhausted. Even that whole incident seems to have drained Drewsin, Huo, and even Yuan. It seems like there's really no one that can stop him.
"Not yet." Yukin said as he was brave enough to stand back up. "I'm still here, and I'm not going to let you have your way."
"Now you wish to challenge me?" Zeru said. "You're quite charismatic and dedicated to your cause. You might actually be of some fun." He said as he was being cynical.
"Yukin, you can't. Do you even feel well enough for a duel?" Zoey asked out of concern.
"I have to. Not only does he have to be stopped, but I owe him some serious payback." Yukin said. "Come on, Zeru! It's time to end things once and for all! You've caused enough people to suffer!"
"Very well, but let's take this some where more private." Zeru said as he used more of his power. An opening in the clouds was formed and a faint light came down. It acted like a tractor beam and floated up in the air. "Come on, Yukin! Come and get me!" He called before he vanished in the clouds.
"Are you sure you have the strength to fight him?" Zoey questioned.
"I've got to." Yukin said as he was able to stand and wanted to go after him.
"Wait, Yukin." Drewsin said. He didn't have the strength to fight, but he did have something for him. "Take this. You're going to need it." He said as he handed him Shadow Shudamin once more. "Our two monsters together can be quite an unstoppable force." Yukin gladly took it and now has both monsters.
"Can I throw my card into the ring?" Huo said as he handed Tempest Tenrun.
"Huo, are you sure?" Rini asked.
"Yeah. I know this guy is a good man. He can use it." Huo said.
"Thank you." Yukin said as he took the card. "I have a feeling I'm going to need all four." When he said that, he turned over to Yuan, but he seemed less than willing to help.
"I dno't know why you're looking at me. I'm not giving you my Venom Vondoon just because you asked." Yuan said.
"I'm not asking." Yukin said as he walked over and just tried to take it.
"Hey! What are you doing?! Get your hands off me!" Yuan whined like a child as Yukin tried taking the card. Once he got a hold of it, he had all four now. With all four, he might have a chance of beating Zeru. Once he got all four, he ran straight to the light and went straight up it. All of them were putting their hopes in Yukin now.
"Can he really beat the likes of Zeru?" Promin questioned. "Zeru can absorb dueling energy and dueling seems to make him stronger."
"That might be, but I know my son." Yokon said.
"How can you be so sure when you haven't seen your own son in ten years?" Promin questioned.
"A father has a way of knowing." Yokon said as he was confident in his boy.
...
Yukin
Yukin was lifted into the clouds and knew he had to be ready for whatever it is Zeru is going to do now. He knew this isn't going to be easy, but someone has to stop him. Yukin was lifted up to the sky and emerged through the clouds with him standing on it.
"What is this?" Yukin questioned.
"It's amazing what you can do when you have the power of limitless possibilities." He looked across the field and was faced with Zeru. "What better scene to have a duel like this? A duel in the sky between two duelists of great power."
"I'm not here for your amusement! I'm here to put a stop to you once and for all!" Yukin called.
"It was quite brave of you to face me, but you can't possibly win. You are a part of me." Zeru said. "You are an inferior copy and I am the original. A copy could never beat the original."
"Don't be so sure. I was able to regain control and free myself and the others from you." Yukin said.
"Only because of that accursed medallion around your neck that your father made." Zeru claimed.
"Let me ask you something. What exactly are you hoping to get from all of this?" Yukin said. "You betrayed your friends, caused this whole mess, and so much more. All of it was for what?"
"For what else? Power! The ability to have whatever you wanted right in the palm of your hand!" Zeru said. "Who knows how far this power could go?! You could do anything with it! The opportunity was too good to ignore!" It's a clear indication from his words that he's gone mad with power. Yukin can't allow himself to lose to the likes of him. "No more talk! It's time for action! I'm sure a duel like this will grant me all the power that is needed for me! Once this duel is over, only one of us will walk out of this and the other will be erased! The other being you."
"Not a chance! You're going down!" Yukin said as the two of them activated their own duel disks and were ready to begin.
"Let's duel!" Both of them said as they were set for the final duel and hopefully to end all of this madness.
"I'll kick this off!" Yukin said as he was going first. "By cutting this monster's attack points in half, I can special summon it to the field! Lava Hound!" Yukin played his hound made of molten rock as it emerged with 2000atk points, but it dropped to 1000. "Next, I'm summoning my Translucent Jellyfish to the field!" He summoned out a new monster with it being a jellyfish that was blue, transparent, and had only 400atk points. "With that, I fuse the forces of fire with the forces of water! Come together as one!" Fire came around his hound and water came around his jellyfish. The two of them came together and they combined into one. "I elemental summon a sapphire attribute! Rise, Sapphire Serapho!" Serapho emerged on the field and was ready for battle as it stood with 2500atk points.
"Summoning out your best monster right from the start? That doesn't mean it will end this quickly." Zeru said.
"I've got more than just him!" Yukin said. "I play my Level Luck spell! This spell card allows me to draw two cards! If they both happen to be monsters with the same level, I can summon them to the field by negating their special abilities!"
"Hoping to draw two monsters with the same level? That's quite the gamble, don't you think?" Zeru taunted.
"One I'll take if it means beating you. I draw!" Yukin said as he drew his two cards...and they were what he needed. "It's Blue Moon Wolf and Crater Cobra! They're both level four! That means that I can summon both of them!" He summoned out both his wolf and snake as they emerged with 1700atk points for both. "I now overlay my Crater Cobra and Blue Moon Wolf!" Both of them turned into energy and came together in the sparkling vortex. "From the shadows and controls the dark, he shows no mercy to his enemies! I xyz summon Shadow Shudamin!" Shudamin joined the field as it arrived with 2500atk points.
"You have two of them now, but they can't save you." Zeru claimed.
"We'll see about. For now, I place one card facedown and end my turn." Yukin said.
"My turn!" Zeru said as he drew his card. "I already have the two spells needed. I play Superior Zero and Superior Gate!" He played two spell cards. When he did, a stone circle and a stone gate appeared and floated over his field. "The power of these two spells can only be used when they're both on the field. Superior Zero will prevent me from taking any damage, while Superior Gate will convert all that damage into restoration for my life points."
"So, you basically can't take damage." Yukin said. "No card can be that powerful. There must be some price to pay."
"Yes. I must have a monster that is at least level ten or higher on the field, but I can easily change that." Zeru claimed. "Next, I activate Trap Booster! By sending one card in my hand to the graveyard, I can activate a trap from my hand!" He said as he discarded Superior Wyrm and reached for the trap. "I play Merged Evil!"
"Here we go." Yukin said as he readied himself for it.
"I guess I have no choice. I'll have to remove these four cards." Zeru said as he took his four Superior cards and got rid of them. "At least that opens the way for me to summon this! Rise, Superior Fiend Mephistos!" Dark power erupted from right behind Zeru and it caused his monster to rise on the field with 4500atk points. His summoning caused flashes of lightning to go off in the clouds and those below could see the shadow of Mephistos with all of them hoping Yukin is doing okay. "You're doomed now."
"I don't think so! I activate Translucent Jellyfish's effect!" Yukin called. That was right when a giant jellyfish came around Mephistos head and wouldn't come off.
"What's this?!" Zeru called.
"It's my jellyfish's effect. By banishing this card from my graveyard, one monster can't attack this turn." Yukin said. "No matter how powerful Mephistos is, it won't help you if it can't attack."
"Clever, but that only buys you a little more time." Zeru said. "You're only delaying the inevitable. Once this duel is over, you will be erased. There is no escaping that. For right now, I'll just end my turn."
"My turn!" Yukin said as he drew his next card. 'None of my monsters have what it takes to beat that thing. At least, not on their own. I know the four cards I have are the keys to beating him. I just need to get them out there.' "I'll start by playing my Extra Extract spell! This spell allows me to summon a monster from my extra deck if I send the necessary monsters from my deck to the graveyard! So, I'll send Soundwave Tuner, Dark Time Swordsman, and Change-o Chameleon!"
"A tuner monster in that mix? That can only mean you're summoning a synchro monster." Zeru said.
"You got that right, and I have just the one!" Yukin said as he discarded his cards. "I summon Tempest Tenrun!" A bright light shined and Tempest Tenrun flew out on the field with 2500atk points. "But I'm not stopping there! I play my Trifecta trap card!" He said as his trap activated. "Since I have at least two monsters that were summoned from the extra deck, this trap card allows me to summon another! I summon Venom Vondoon!" Venom Vondoon emerged on the field and joined its counterparts as it too had 2500atk points.
"All four of them are here..." Zeru said.
"Here we go. It's all or nothing now." Yukin said. He managed to summon all four monsters, but will the four of them be enough to defeat Zeru once and for all?
