Kaname's and Sajin's duel continued as the two former duelists were going hard against each other. Sajin had his Tenken Punisher and it had 600atk points after getting hit by the effect of Kaname's monsters. Sajin was holding on with 1400LP. Kaname had 2000LP and had his Suzumushi Crier with it having 2700atk points.
"It is your move, Sajin." Kaname said as he placed one face down.
"Here I come." Sajin said. "It's time I restored Tenken's power to glory. I'm activating Heart Restore. This spell will return Tenken's attack points to their original level since he has weakened." Tenken's power rose back to 2700. "Next, I activate Wild Release. This spell will give Tenken Punisher an extra 1000atk points." Tenken's power rose again to 3700. "Tenken Punisher, crush Suzumushi Crier with Great Spirit Slash." Spiritual energy formed around Tenken's sword and he swung it down.
"Not so fast. I activate Sightless Discard." Kaname said. "If I discard my entire hand, I can stop your attack." He discarded all the cards and Suzumushi was able to stop it with one hand.
"Very well, I'll end my turn." Sajin said. "Since it's the end of my turn, Wild Release takes its affect. Since Tenken isn't a beast type, he loses another 1000atk points with his original." Tenken's points dropped to 1700.
"It's my turn." Kaname said as he drew his next card. "It's just the one I need. I'm activating Return of Sight. This gives me all the cards I discarded last turn." All his cards returned to his hand. "Next, I'll have Suzumushi attack your Tenken with Nine Aspects." His cricket like creature unleashed the sonic sound.
"I can still use Tenken's ability." Sajin said. "I use one unite unit to sacrifice 500LP and stop your attack." One unit passed through Tenken's mask and was able to stop the attack and Sajin's life points dropped to 900.
"You might have survived, but you can only use that ability one last time." Kaname said. "You'll be left with 400LP after the next time I attack."
"Even if I only have 1LP, I will find a way to stop you." Sajin said. "Let me ask you something, Kaname. How far off have you fallen from your trail?"
"I beg your pardon?" Kaname said.
"You reached out for justice your entire life." Sajin said. "Now, you seek the destruction of this entire city. What part of this is justice? What made you abandon your goals?"
"What makes you think I have?" Kaname said. "Do you think I'm looking for justice against Lord Aizen? Do you think I'm looking for your forgiveness?"
"Forgiveness?" Sajin said.
"Even I am not that blind." Kaname said. "I know that you wish to forgive me for this, but that won't happen. I willingly sided with Aizen. I am not looking for your forgiveness. All I am looking is your defeat and removed the obstacle that you are. This duel is still going on. Last time, it was your turn."
"Very well." Sajin said. "I'll switch my Tenken to defense mode." The giant got down on one knee and has 2000def points. "I'm also going to equip Tenken with Shield of Beasts. This spell will give my Tenken an extra 800def points." Tenken's defense points rose up to 2800. "That is all I am going to do for this turn."
"You would rather hide behind your monster than fight? That's actually a wise choice." Kaname said. "I'll play the spell known as Fair Justice. This spell allows us to both draw cards until we are holding six." Both of them kept drawing until they had six cards in their hands. "Fair Justice also has another affect. Fair Justice will cause the both of us to banish a monster on our field until the end of our turn."
"I know that. I have no choice, but to banish my Tenken Punisher." Sajin said.
"As I will banish Suzumushi Crier." Kaname said and both of their monsters vanished away. "Do not worry. Both of them will return at the end of this turn." Kaname said.
'Even your cards speak of justice, Kaname.' Sajin thought. 'That's why I can't seem to understand why someone like you would want to help a mad man like Aizen.' "So what is your next move? Are you going to end this by summoning a monster and ending the duel here?"
"Not precisely." Kaname said. "I'm activating the Crime Punisher. In exchange for not summoning any monsters, I can deal 800 points of damage." Sajin got shocked and his life points dropped down to a mere 100.
"Why would you use that spell when you can just end it here?" Sajin said.
"All in due time is when everything will be explained." Kaname said. "I place one face down and end my turn. Since it's the end of my turn, both of our monsters return to the field." Both of their monsters came back at 2700atk points each.
'I don't get Kaname's strategy. Why didn't he summon a monster to end this duel here and now? I was left defenseless.' Sajin thought. 'Is it possible that he's showing mercy out of an act of our friendship? No. He's made it clear that it means nothing now and he doesn't seem to be going against Aizen. Maybe he didn't have a monster in his hand, but then what was the point of banishing our monsters? Was he trying to get rid of Tenken's unite units?'
"Are you going to go or not?" Kaname said.
"Patience. A good duelist analyzes the situation." Sajin said. 'Tenken can't survive another attack and I have nothing to stop it. Kaname must be planning on ending this on his next turn.' He thought. "I'll switch my Tenken Punisher back into defense mode and end my turn." Tenken went back into defense mode at 2000def points.
"That's just what I thought you would do." Kaname said. "The final effects of Fair Justice activates. If the same monsters that have returned and there are no other monsters on the field, Suzumushi Crier will gain the grand total of their attack points."
"Grand total?! Their attack points together is doubled from their original." Sajin said. "So that's why you didn't summon a monster. You also knew I had nothing that could help Tenken."
"That would be correct. That makes a grand total of 5400." Kaname said. "Basically, Suzumushi Crier's attack points have tripled." Suzumushi's attack points went up all the way to 8100. "Since Suzumushi's attack points went up, I'm allowed to use my face down. It's the trap, Justice to All." Kaname said. "This trap will continuously increase Suzumushi's attack points for each monster it destroys by 100. Suzumushi Crier, destroy Tenken Punisher once and for all with Nine Aspects." Suzumushi Crier unleashed the destructive sonic wave and destroyed Tenken. That also increased Suumushi's attack points to 8200. "It is your final move, Sajin."
"Very well. We shall end this here and now." Sajin said. "I can see that there is no reasoning with you Kaname. You turned your back on the world."
"Silence! I have not turn my back on the world." Kaname said. "I have just seen the path I can only see and that is with Lord Aizen. Enough of this talk. End your turn already." Sajin drew his card and it trap he was hesitant to play, but must.
"I summon Battle Pup in defense mode." Sajin said and a puppy trying to be vicious came on the field and had 200def points. "I'm also going to place a face down and end my turn."
"That mutt is your last line of defense. How foolish. I shall end this duel here and now." Kaname said. "I'm activating the spell card, Face Atonement. This spell will force your monster into attack mode." His puppy went to attack mode and had 200atk points. "Farewell. Suzumushi Crier, attack and end this duel." His cricket like creature unleashed its attack.
"Yes, end this duel." Sajin said. "I activate my trap card, Destruction Return. This trap will destroy your attacking monster and you lose life points equal to its attack points."
"No!" Kaname shouted. The attack was caught in an explosion and Suzumushi Crier burned in it. Kaname was blown back from the attack and he lost all of his life points and the force from it knocked him out. When the duel was over, Sajin walked over to the unconscious Kaname. "Kaname, I held high respect for you and our friendship. You've been right by my side. I'm sure your intentions were in the right place, but you went at it the wrong way. I can't speak for Yamamoto or the others, but I will forgive you."
"How sad that Kaname was defeated." Aizen said as he and Yamamoto saw the duel between the two. "Interesting that Sajin forgave him for all that he's done. I guess he knew Kaname so well that it's hard not to."
"You are a cruel man, Sosuke Aizen. Having two good friends face each other in battle?" Yamamoto said. "How could you be so callous?"
"If you think I'm callous, wait until you see what Gin, my fateful servant and right-hand man, is capable of." Aizen warned.
