Chapter 12 – Light the Dark Sky with Justice! Synchro Summon, Savior Star Dragon
"And now Yuki Judai," Darkness said "you are finally under my thumb. You are… what's this?" As the smoke cleared, Judai shot forward with all his SPC, creatures and more Life Points.
Judai: LP 2800
Darkness: LP 4000
"Kisama. What did you do?" Darkness growled in a frustrated manner.
"I played my Rainbow Life Trap Card," Judai said as he held up the card. "This card Johan gave me lets me discard 1 card to make my damage instead increase my Life Points."
"And since your monsters won't be destroyed by my attacks, it's pointless to strike. I summon Darkness Gardna in Defence Position (DEF: 2000)." A cloaked creature with dark red eyes, armour scattered over the cloak and a huge shield with an eye at the centre appeared beside the giant. "I reshuffle my Traps and end my Turn. You have no cards in your hand Judai, so there's not much you can do."
"We'll see (Judai: 9 SPC/Darkness: 10 SPC)," Judai said as he drew. "During my Standby Phase I reveal the Trap Card Trap Stun!" When this Trap Card appeared on Judai's field, it shot out bolts of lightning that struck all of Darkness' Traps, flipping them over and fossilizing them instantly.
"You little bastard," Darkness once again growled out. "You froze all my trap cards!"
"Exactly," Judai replied calmly, the first calm thing he'd said in some time, "but lucky for you only for this turn. Moving on, I activate the Speed Spell – Energy Draw! When my hand is at 0 and my SPC is at 6 or more, I select a monster on your field to activate this card. And then, for every 1000 attack points it has, I draw one card. And Darkness Neolith has 4000 ATK." Placing the card in his Cemetery, Judai pulled up 4 cards, looked at them, and instantly saw what he could do.
"Go ahead, draw your cards Judai," Darkness said nonchalantly. "You beat me before, but not using the weak deck of your friend there you didn't."
"Shut up about my friend's cards. I send Bolt Hedgehog from my hand to my Cemetery to Special Summon Quick Synchron (ATK: 700)!" As Judai slotted the card into the Cemetery, a mechanical warrior dressed as a cowboy and fitted with a projector-like face and a revolver appeared beside his existing creatures.
"A Level 5 monster with only 700 ATK will not help you win Judai."
"No, but this will. I summon Tuning Supporter (AK: 100)." Another creature, this one a small robot with a frying pan for a hat, also emerged on the field. "And now, I activate the effects of Tuning Supporter and Quick Synchron. Quick Synchron can be treated as any Synchron monster I wish, so I select Road Synchron!" The image of 5 Synchron monsters appeared in front of the figure and began spinning, before it shot through the image of the aforementioned one. "And then, my Tuning Supporter is treated as one Level higher (LV: 2)."
"What?" Darkness said dumbstruck.
"I Tune Quick Synchron as Road Synchron to my Tuning Supporter and my Roadrunner!" The machine cowboy fired out 5 shots from its revolver that changed into stars of light before its body exploded. Then, these stars became green rings that encircled the two other creatures, changing them into 3 stars in a triangle formation. They then fused into a vertical beam of light.
"When the forces of Darkness must be opposed," Judai chanted, "a great warrior must be called from the light to cast out the shadows! Synchro Summon! Take up arms, Road Warrior (ATK: 3000)!" From the beam of light emerged a yellow-armoured warrior with a sword-like device strapped to his back and a knight-like helmet. Though he was tall, he was still far smaller than Darkness' towering, Egyptian God-sized figure.
"And due to the effect of Tuning Supporter, I draw one card!" Pulling his card, he seemed pleased with his draw, but was interrupted by Darkness.
"That's a very good try Judai," the figure sneered as he spoke, "But you still cannot defeat my Darkness Neolith at 4000 ATK."
"I can and I will Darkness," Judai replied sharply.
'Really? How?"
"With this. I play Speed Spell – Miracle Synchro! With my SPC at 4 or more, I can exclude 1 Tuner and 1 non-Tuner from my Cemetery and treat them as though they were tuned on the field. So I tune Junk Synchron to Tuning Supporter to Synchro Summon Arms Aid (ATK: 1800)!" From Judai's Cemetery the two cards slid out to be put away since they were removed. Then, a green beam erupted from the slot to spawn a huge silver and black arm with long red talons for fingers.
"An interesting ploy Judai," Darkness once again falsely complemented, as Judai drew a second card from Tuning Supporter, "but that accomplishes nothing. The monster Synchro Summoned by that effect must return to the Extra Deck at the End Phase, and during this turn it cannot attack. Whatever effect that hand has is useless to you."
"Wrong again. By the effect of Arms Aid, I equip it to Road Warrior to make it 1000 point Stronger (ATK: 4000)." The arm disassembled into 7 pieces – the hand, 3 bottom pieces and 3 top pieces – before they all fixed themselves onto the Warrior's right forearm and hand.
"But now…" Darkness actually faltered for a second, before regaining his confidence and chuckling darkly. "Exactly, it has the same 4000 ATK as my Neolith, but mine will be revived when it is destroyed. Doing all that do make me get rid of some cards is not a good strategy."
"It's better than you think. Road Warrior, attack Darkness Neolith!" The warrior activated rockets on his back that shot him up into the air and forward, to just above the head of the creature. "By excluding Shield Warrior from my Cemetery, I make it so Road Warrior will not be destroyed by this attack."
"Then what point is there?" Darkness asked smugly. The claw on the warrior lit up dark orange as the warrior dove straight down to the base of the track, leaving a huge scrape of glowing energy along the giant's body. Eventually cracks spread out from this and the body of the monster shattered. "I will simply revive my beast."
"That won't do you any good," Judai replied strongly. "By the effect of Arms Aid, damage equal to the ATK of a monster destroyed in battle is dealt to the opponent!" The claw lit up into flames of energy and the warrior dove at Darkness, but the shielded figure intercepted it and the blow caught its shield eye.
"Sorry Judai, but by Releasing Darkness Gardna I make the damage dealt outside of battle to my Life Points zero, and I draw one card." The cloaked figure shattered, extinguishing the energy flames on the claw of the warrior, who leapt back to his spot beside Judai. Darkness then drew. "And now, I send Darkness 1, Darkness 2 and Darkness 3 to the Cemetery to resummon Darkness Neolith (ATK: 4000)." When the fossil traps disappeared, the dark beam of light reopened and the giant beast arose again.
"There, I broke the Darkness Trap Combo. I activate the effect of Road Warrior. Once per turn, I Special Summon 1 Level 2 or below Warrior or Machine sub-type monster from my deck. Come forth, Repair Warrior (DEF: 800)." To the left of the pterodactyl creature emerged a light beige mechanical figure with a power saw for one hand and a hammer for the other. "I set 2 cards and end my turn." At this declaration, the two remaining traps on Darkness' field reset and returned to normal.
"Draw (Judai: 10 SPC/Darkness: 11 SPC)," Darkness declared. "And Judai, I knew you would ave m remove my Trap Cards. And so now, I intend to finish you with Speed, the weapon of your best friend. I activate Speed Spell – Power Baton."
"Judai," Yubel cautioned within his mind, "be careful."
"When my SPC is 6 or higher," Darkness described the effect of his card, "I discard 1 monster from my Deck to add its ATK to a monster I control. In return, I skip my next Draw Phase." Forming a card into his hand, Judai's eyes could only barely convey his shock as Darkness finally said, "I discard Darkness Neosphere (ATK: 4000), doubling the ATK of Neolith for this turn (ATK: 8000)."
"8… 8000 ATK?" Judai blurted in complete awe.
"Correct." Gaining a dark and intense glare, Darkness pointed at Road Warrior and hissed out, "this is truly your end Judai. Darkness Neolith, attack Road Warrior!" Energy began to collect in the creature's chest eye again and quickly fired, but before it struck its target Judai flipped a card.
"Trap Card Open: Guard Block. I make the damage to my Life Points 0, and then I draw one card!" The blast from the creature's eye shot straight through Road Warrior and Judai, exploding the figure and making Judai cringe with closed eyes. Darkness simply smiled darkly for a bit before receiving a shock when Judai opened his eyes again; for now his golden irises were surrounded by the black corneas of Dark Signers.
"Sorry Darkness," Judai bit out angrily, almost oblivious to his new features, "but once again you've failed to grab the decisive chance to defeat me. The flames in my soul will never burn out!" Drawing his card, the transparent image of Yubel appeared over his shoulder, looking very concerned for the state of her partner.
"Very well Judai," Darkness said as he placed 2 cards in his Magic & Trap Card Zones. "Turn concluded."
"Draw (Judai: 11 SPC/Darkness: 12 SPC)! I'll play a second Speed Spell – Angel Baton, drawing 2 cards and discarding 1. I discard Sonic Falcon!" As Judai placed the card in the Cemetery, he pulled 2 more cards, but the card he discarded shot back out o the slot for a second.
"I see," Darkness interpreted, "When Sonic Falcon is discarded for a Speed Spell, the player draws 1 card."
"Correct." Pulling his extra card, Judai looked down as one of his cards reappeared and spun around. "I play Reinforcing Resurrection, and I re-summon my Level 3 Sonic Falcon as a Level 4 (ATK: 800, 900)." From the Cemetery appeared a silver-winged falcon with long tail feathers. "And next I summon Hyper Synchron (ATK: 1600)." Beside the existing creature appeared a bluish robotic creature with large tanks on its back.
"This combo…" Darkness stated, "is similar to one Yusei has used before."
"That's right," Judai replied with unnecessary hostility. "I tune my Level 4 Hyper Synchron to Sonic Falcon!" The chest of the blue machine opened and released 4 energy orbs as it exploded. The orbs then formed green rings that swallowed the falcon, changing it into 4 orbs that formed a vertical column on light.
"Power of unity and justice, come forth from the light of truth. Cast your bright glow upon the shadows of evil. Synchro Summon! Spread your wings, Stardust Dragon!" The vertical column cleared to reveal Yusei's classic dragon, although with an unusual red glow in its eyes. Upon its creation, blue-white lightning sparked up around Judai, seemingly from the wrath of the dragon.
Darkness simply chuckled at this sight. "How idiotic of you. No non-Signer can handle one of those dragons, let alone one with such darkness within their heart."
"What… are you talking about?" Judai spat out as the sparks died down.
"You should truly have listened to the other spirit within you. You've let your rage take over."
"Shut up!" Judai finally snapped, with a psychotic glare on his face that stirred up an amount of dark energy. This energy attacked his new dragon, infecting it and turning it dark-grey. "You have no right to speak to me that way. Not after you drove me to this point."
"Well then." Darkness mocked, "If I've done this to you, then by all means undo it."
"Very well. First of all, since I used Hyper Synchron, Stardust gains 800 ATK (ATK: 3300). Second, with my SPC at 11, I have plenty to use Speed Spell – Speed Energy, giving Stardust 2200 ATK for this turn (ATK: 5500). Stardust Dragon, attack!" The dragon formed a ball of energy in its mouth that shot at the giant, destroying it instantly.
Judai: LP 2800
Darkness: LP 2500
As Darkness reeled from the blow Judai shot forward until they were parallel to each other. "I guess that about levels us up now (Judai: 11SPC/Darkness: 11 SPC). Our Speed Counters are equal, but my Life Points are a little bit higher."
Snarling, Darkness declared, "Not for long. I send Zero, Infinity and Darkness Curse to the Cemetery to resurrect my beast once again (ATK: 4000)." As Darkness had said, the giant monster returned to its position beside him.
"That monstrosity won't do you much good any longer. I set 1 card and end my turn."
"During your End Phase Judai," Darkness pointed at the dragon, "Speed Energy wears off and your monster returns to 3300 ATK. During my turn, because of Power Baton, I cannot draw (Judai: 12 SPC/Darkness: 12 SPC). But, I can attack Stardust Dragon!" The giant released an energy beam from its chest that shot the dragon in the head. The beast reeled but survived.
Judai: LP 2100
Darkness: LP 2500
"Sorry Darkness," Judai shot out, "but Hyper Synchron also means Stardust cannot be destroyed by Battle."
"That is true, but on your 2nd Standby Phase he will be excluded. I set 1 card. Turn concluded."
"Draw!" Judai grunted as he saw his card, but played it off quickly. "I set 1 card and Change Stardust Dragon to Defence Position (DEF: 2000). Turn end."
"Then it is my turn again. Draw!"
"Trap Card Open!" Judai declared as a new card appeared. "Shooting Star lets me destroy an opponent's card if I control a Stardust Dragon. However, I release Stardust Dragon and negate said effect!" The dragon then disappeared into a cloud of dark grey particles that consumed the card and exploded it.
"A clever way to get Stardust to work," Darkness smugly complimented. "However, when he returns he will be vulnerable to my monster. I set 1 card and end my turn."
"End Phase, my Stardust returns (DEF: 2000). Draw!" Judai's card was of no use to him at the moment, but he stuck it out for the time. "I activate Repair Warrior's effect, and release it to summon Tuning Supporter from my cemetery (DEF: 300)." The robot figure turned into a yellow cloud of particles and disappeared before the little robot creature from earlier appeared in a crouching position. "Turn end."
"Draw! Your Stardust is vulnerable. Neolith, destroy Stardust!" The creature once again fired at the dragon, striking it in the head and shattering it instantly.
"Now you've done it!" Judai shouted at the top of his lungs. "You dare to mock my friend's death by such a cruel action."
Somewhat confused by this, Darkness simply said, "The move was simply about strategy, that's all."
"Strategy my ass!" Judai yelled this as he drew. "I play Draw Accel, so I draw 2 cards for having 2 SPC." Pulling his cards, Judai silently set 1 with a dark glare upon his face. "Turn End."
"Draw." Darkness sneered as he pointed at the small robot. "Darkness Neolith, attack Tuning Supporter."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, he's just up ahead," Crow issued to the people in the wagon behind him. Asuka, Johan and Manjyoume held Yusei's limp body in place within the cart while Jack rode out ahead, still with the twins seated behind him. They had managed to get up onto the platform by doubling back a few blocks and were now only a hundred yards or so behind their friend.
"Damn it, that creature is still on his field," Jack's dark tone issued.
Becoming nervous, Rua whimpered out, "You… you mean the one that… Yusei…" he could not finish the sentence before tears formed in his eyes, tears which had never left his sister's.
"Wait a minute," Manjyoume declared, "is it my imagination or does Judai seem… different than normal."
"What do you mean?" Asuka asked worriedly, fearing the worst.
"His eyes… they've gone dark." After he said this, Johan became nervous-looking and Jack and Crow grew angered-looking. "What?"
"Those damned dark eyes…" Crow started.
"…Are the mark of a great darkness." Jack picked up.
Finally, Johan completed the idea. "The darkness of the Dark Signers"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Trap Card Open: Scrap-Iron Scarecrow! I negate your attack and reset this Trap!" A figure made of random metal pieces appeared to block the energy beam, before barbed wire pulled it back into the card and it reset.
"How long do you intend to stall this duel for?" Darkness questioned angrily.
"How long have you fucked with my friends and I for?" Judai snapped in an insane manner.
"You misunderstand Judai," Darkness said
"Shut up and finish your move."
"Very well; I see there is no reasoning with you. I set one card and end my turn."
"Draw!" Judai went to pull his card, but when he placed his hand in his deck he discovered he could not move it. "What… what is this?" Looking back over his shoulder, he saw the spirit whom he'd come to see as a friend, a partner, almost a sister, was holding him back from drawing his card. "You…"
Holding a firm, somewhat and somewhat angry expression on her face, Yubel said, "I can't allow you to continue this madness Judai, not while you hold such hell within your soul."
"What are you talking about?" Judai snapped, attempting to free his hand from the spirit and failing.
"Can't you see Darkness spoke the truth? You've let your anger and hatred consume you, the same hell that unleashed Haou Judai and drove you to slaughter!" Judai could only look wide at the notion set before him, then looked at the field before him.
"I see. My hatred...," Judai thought, reflecting on Stardust Dragon. "How... how could I let my hatred do this to me? To my friend's dragon?" A tear slowly rolled down Judai's face as he thought about what had happened.
"You were angry at what had been done, you have been for some time," Yubel consoled, "And in a moment of pinnacle hatred you loss all innocence. But it's not too late. You can use that darkness to awaken a new light, one with the power of the Wave of Light and the resolve of the Darkness of Justice…"
"The Light of Justice." When Yubel nodded, she also released his hand as he moved his own closer to the deck. As his fingers made contact with the last card, it lit up with a bright light that quickly swallowed him, his D-Wheel and his monsters.
"What is this?!" Darkness growled as he saw the light consume Judai. In a split second, the God felt the Dragon Mark of the female Signer Aki dig into his arm, then light up and vanish off his arm.
Behind Judai on the 2 D-Wheels, Jack's, Ruca's and Yusei's marks all light up for a fleeting moment before disappearing and producing a huge flash of light.
---------------------------------------------
Underneath the mansion of Rex Godwin, within an underground complex, a huge stone altar surrounded by the seal of the dragon stood lit up by a red glow. Rex himself sat in his knees, thinking to himself before the severed arm of the fifth Signer that lay in its tank. Without warning, the Mark on the arm, the mark of the head that normally sat dormant, also lit up brightly before fading off the arm. Godwin took quick note of this and realized what happened.
"So…" the man said, "the power has finally been awakened."
-----------------------------------------------------
The light that surrounded Judai blew away in a strong wind like the icy tail of a comet in a solar wind. The young man's eyes no longer held the malice of darkness in them, not black and gold; now, they were the green and orange eyes of Yubel, outlined with a red glow. On his back, the seal of the Crimson Dragon held itself, completed by the 5 marks from the Signers.
"It's my draw!" Judai said, pulling the lit-up card from the top of the deck and adding it to his hand.
"What did you…?" Darkness asked.
"Now, Darkness," Judai said confidently with Yubel now at his side, "I can use the power of my friends and their Dragons to erase your evil once and for all! Trap Card Open: Lost Star Descent!" The Trap Card flipped up and created a huge beam of light that shone powerfully until it reformed the dragon from earlier, albeit with its original colours.
"Lost Star Descent resummons a Synchro Monster with one fewer stars and 0 DEF (LV: 7). And now, I summon Salvation Dragon – Savior Dragon (ATK: 0)!" Above Judai, a huge purple dragon with segmented wings and a teardrop-shaped body appeared and let out a cry of triumph.
"That monster…" Darkness growled.
"Alright Judai!" Crow yelled from the distance away, which was closing by the minute.
"And now to unlock the gateway to the Crimson Dragon," Judai declared. "By making my Tuning Supporter Level 2, I tune my Savior Dragon to my Stardust Dragon and my Tuning Supporter!" The white dragon took flight until it was just below the larger purple creature, and the robot did the same. The purple dragon then changed into a green ring that absorbed the white dragon and robot as 9 orbs before fusing with them.
"By taking wing with the power of unity and resolve," Judai chanted, "we can cast out the forces of evil and light the dark skies with justice! Synchro Summon! Take flight, Savior Star Dragon (ATK: 3800)!" The beam of light spawned a bluish 4-winged wyvern with segmented wings, several orbs on its body and a long tail and neck.
"The improved Star Dragon," Darkness snarled. "But, even with more points, it cannot best my Neolith (ATK: 4000). Besides, that monster is useless! Trap Card Open! I activate the Trap Card Shadow Balance, so I may destroy monsters until you only have as many as me. Say farewell Savior Star!"
"Not so fast Darkness! Savior Star's monster effect activates!" Upon this declaration, the dragon lit up in an ominous white glow. "Because you used an effect, I release Savior Star to negate that card and destroy every single card you control!"
"You what?" The glow of the dragon erupted several beams that shot through all of Darkness' cards, exploding them instantly before the dragon faded away.
"Your Neolith cannot revive because you have no cards. Speed Spell – Synchro Draw! I exclude Stardust Dragon and Savior Star Dragon to draw 2 cards. It's all down to this." Thinking of all his friends, all the people he know and all Darkness had wronged, he closed his eyes and held his hands to his deck. Then, pulling his 2 cards, he slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw made him smile.
"What's this?" Darkness asked darkly.
"From my hand I play Speed Spell – Synchro Return! I Special Summon an excluded Synchro Monster for this turn! Return, Savior Star Dragon (ATK: 3800)!" From a ball of light the dragon reappeared and let out a roar of resolve.
"An interesting move," Darkness chided again with a dark grin, "but he excludes again at the End Phase, and I have a full 4000 Life Points!"
"What?"
"Because your Dragon destroyed my set Darkness Reverse," Darkness explained, "my Life Points become 4000 again. It's over! You cannot defeat me!"
"It maybe true you have 4000 Life Points, but it's not true I'm unable to win. I have this: Speed Spell – Synchro Force! I take a Synchro Monster on my field and exclude a monster from your Cemetery, then add its ATK to his. I exclude Darkness Neolith, and add 4000 ATK tpo my Dragon (ATK: 7800)!" The dark energy of the creature spewed from Darkness' Cemetery and flowed into the dragon, where it was neutralized.
"No!" Darkness yellowed out angrily.
"Savior Star Dragon, direct attack! Shooting Blaster Sonic!" The dragon dove forward like a meteor and shot straight through Darkness and his D-Wheel, destroying the vehicle instantly and sending Darkness flying aside instantly. Judai got forward from him about 100 feet before he braked and got off the D-Wheel, the holograms around him fading while the dragon continued to fly through the sky, trailing stardust as it did.
"Darkness," Judai said as the light of the seal died down, "Now do you understand? I will never let you win."
Chuckling as Crow's and Jack's D-Wheel pulled up and braked as well, Darkness replied with, "That's exactly what I had hoped for."
"What?"
"You see, I returned to this world to remove the Dark Signers before they caused more damage." While he spoke, the dark fog of his body began to seep out. When he stood up, this flow increased 10-fold. "But I knew that I alone was not enough when I learned that the King of the Underworld would return."
"King of the Underworld?" Jack questioned.
"What the fuck is that?" Crow asked, before slapping his hands over his mouth when he remembered kids were present.
"The King of the Underworld is the God that the Dark Signers serve, the true opposite to the Crimson Dragon. I knew that taking Aki would get you riled enough to try and surpass me, so you would truly be ready. When it arrives, you must be ready to do whatever it takes to stop it, and the Dark Signers."
"Then we will do just that," Manjyoume said triumphantly.
"You got that right," Johan agreed.
"We will not falter," Jack added.
"We'll stay strong," Ruca said.
"And we will be victorious," Judai concluded.
"Then," Darkness added as his form took shape behind the body before them, "I will return those you hold dear." The body diffused into black fog, leaving behind Hell Kaiser with an unconscious Aki held in his arms, before Darkness finally said, "Defeat them and save this world." With that Darkness faded away, and the people in the world of Darkness began to return to the streets below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Damn Darkness," Rudger, leader of the Dark Signers, roared as he slammed his fist into the table before him, the candles flickering.
Demak, in his yellow-striped robes, responded with, "Do not despair yet master. We may have lost a few soldiers, but the Signers have lost a good member as well."
"Yusei Fudo," a third figure, a tall male dressed in purple-lined robes declared from the shadows, "their most powerful member. Without him, the Signers pose no threat, nor have any hope of summoning the Crimson Dragon."
"And with the darkness Judai displayed," Demak continued, "he will be easy to turn as well."
Looking up in a psychotic grin, Rudger snapped his fingers and simply said, "Then let the fun begin."
----------------------------------------------------------
Back up on the energy track, Hell Kaiser placed the unconscious female Signer beside Yusei's body within the cart before turning to Judai. However, before he could say anything, Yusei's Signer mark on his arm began to light up.
"Yusei?" Jack asked hopefully. However, Judai's Yubel eyes immediately returned.
"Don't go any closer. Something is wrong here!"
And sure enough, Yusei's body began to glow a dark purple, obscuring his features and forming an expanding sphere of energy. Within seconds it swallowed all figures and D-Wheels present, and moments later it vanished, leaving no trace.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where… where are we?" Judai said as he stood up. Everyone had been knocked flat by the energy surge and now they were getting up in a desolate, urban-decayed city with no signs of light.
"Hold on…" Johan realized. "Isn't this…"
"Satellite," Crow stated.
"The Dark Signers are responsible for this," Jack stated darkly. "I can feel it."
"Hey," Hell Kaiser said, getting everyone's attention. "Where's Yusei?" Surely enough, in the back of the wagon on Crow's D-Wheel was the unconscious Aki, but Yusei's body had vanished.
"No…"Ruca remarked sadly.
"What have they done with him?" Rua continued her sentence, albeit with more anger.
Within his own mind Judai weakly said, "Yusei..."
