Chapter 19: Duel of Brothers Part I
Ryan's POV
It was all over. The moment Utopia destroyed Don Thousand's monster I knew that the nightmare was all over. As the deity's monster was gone he took a mighty fall and hit the ground. We all looked to see Shark, Kite and Yuma staring at the fallen barian.
"Kite thanks for your help." Yuma said as the galaxy eyes duelist looked at him and smiled before disappearing again. Just then the ground shook as we all looked up at the sky.
"Hey look!" I said pointing up. "The portal between Astral World and Barian World is closing." I said.
"Yeah, and look there!" I heard my sister as we all looked behind us. "Barian World and Earth are pulling apart."
"Finally, the war is over." I said.
"How absurd…" We heard Don Thousand say as we all looked at him. "I lost."
"Well you better believe it." Yuma said. "We stopped your evil dreams and gave them a rude awakening." Just then Don Thousand gave off an evil chuckle as we all looked confused. Just then a orb of both red and black appeared over Don Thousand's fallen body.
"You may have defeated me, but the destruction of your worlds are still in the cards." He said as he began to disappear. "You will face a never ending nightmare. You may have vanquished my body but not my spirit! While my dark energy is still around, I will make sure you are not." He said as the orb was then fired into the sky.
"Guys what's happening?" Tori asked.
"Allow me to answer that." Don Thousand's voice echoed. "I am about to take control of one of you, and I know who." He said as I then looked up to see cards aiming at me.
"Ryan!" I heard Shark yell out as I looked as he pushed me out of the way as I looked as he just stood there absorbing each and every card. "Sorry everyone." He said as we all saw his eyes glow. "But the war is far from over." He said as were all then shot into a portal falling to who knows where as I began to blank out.
"Ryan, Ryan wake up!" I heard my sisters voice as I slowly opened my eyes. I looked up to see her, Yuma, Tori and Astral all staring at me.
"You're okay!" Tori said as I smiled as my sister helped me up. I looked around to see us in a new location surrounded by pillars and crystals.
"Hey you guys, where are we?" I asked.
"I don't know." Tori said as I then gasped.
"Hey guys look." I said as we saw a path leading to Astral World.
"Astral World?" Yuma said. "But what's it doing here?" He asked as we all turned around again to find another world, this time leading to Earth and Heartland City.
"Why is Earth still barianized?" I asked.
"Yeah, because shouldn't have Earth and Barian World split once Yuma and Shark defeated Don Thousand." My sister said as I then realized something.
"Hey, where is Shark?" I asked. Then as if my question was answered we saw my brother appearing before us.
"If you're all wondering why things haven't changed, it's because Don Thousand's power still remains." He said. "His chaos energy is keeping both Barian World and Earth fused together." We all gasped at this news. "It's also pulling us all into a collision course towards Astral World. If our three worlds collide, Astral World will be destroyed." He said as we all gasped in horror.
"But Shark, Don Thousand's power was destroyed." Yuma pointed out.
"It's not." Shark replied. "Because I inherited Don Thousand's power!"
"You what?" I asked in surprise.
"Then use it to stop all our worlds from crashing." Tori said.
"Yeah, Shark." My sister spoke up. "The war is over, there is no need to fight anymore."
"Well I could." Shark answered to the girls. "But there is no way that I am doing that." He said as we were all shocked at what he said. "You all forget that I am a barian." I shook my head.
"Your wrong Shark!" I said as I spoke up. "Don't you remember what Rio said, you aren't that person anymore, you can move on away from all of this."
"I'm sorry bro, but I'm afraid I can't do that." He said. "Barian World and Astral World are sworn enemies, locked in a war with each other. When I became the leader of the barians, I took on the responsibility, that I take very seriously, protecting the people of my world. So Astral World must be destroyed." He said as we all remained silent. "So if you want to save Astral World, you must defeat me."
"But Shark, I don't want to fight a friend." Yuma said.
"Wrong! We are not friends, as long as you take Astral's side." He said. "I will fight for Barian World till the very end." He said.
"There's something that we can do." Yuma said as I stepped forward. "Ryan?" He asked.
"There is one thing Yuma." I said. "But in order to do that, I must duel Shark." I said as everyone gasped while I remained calm, staring into the eyes of my brother.
"Stay out of this Ryan." Shark said with a warning. "This is between me, Yuma and Astral, not you." He said as I smirked.
"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you big brother, but it does." I said as Shark growled in frustration.
"What do you mean Ryan?" Tori asked.
"Yeah little brother, spill it." Stephanie said as I sighed and turned around.
"Because, there was a prophecy about this." I said as everyone was confused as I remembered.
Flashback
Normal POV
"Ryan, before you go out there and face your brother and sister, there is one more thing you should know." Aqua said as Ryan looked at her. "Long after you disappeared, I had a vison." She said.
"What kind of vision?" Ryan asked. "A vision about all of this?" Aqua only nodded her head.
"The vision also tells of this, the final battle will conclude between two brothers of the ocean, one of chaos and one of pure heart." She said. "Ryan, you are the brother of pure heart." Ryan gasped as he began to ponder to himself.
"But if I am the ocean brother of pure heart then that must mean…"He said as he then gasped and looked at Aqua. "Shark, he's the ocean brother of chaos." Again Aqua simply nodded her head. "Well do you know who wins at the end?" Ryan asked as Aqua shook her head.
"Sorry Ryan, I don't know that far yet." Aqua said. "But I have full faith in what you must do."
End of Flashback
Ryan's POV
"So wait, this Aqua person said that you must be the one to duel Shark in the end?" Yuma asked as I nodded as I looked at Astral.
"Astral, I know you may doubt me but believe me, I have to do this." I said as I then saw Astral smile and nodded.
"Of course, I have full faith in you Ryan." He said as I smiled.
"Then please, take Yuma and the girls back home to Earth where it's safe." I said.
"What!?" The three of them asked.
"There is no way that you're going to be left here alone Ryan." Yuma protested.
"Yeah and besides you're my brother Ryan." Stephanie said. "We just lost both mom and dad, I don't want to lose you too."
"Everyone please." Astral said as we all looked up at him. "Let Ryan do this. After all it is his destiny." He said as he then put his hand up and revealed the golden air ship. I looked at the three as Yuma sighed.
"Okay Ryan, good luck." He said as I smiled as we shook each other's hand. Just then Tori put her hand on top of ours.
"And please be careful." She said as I nodded. Just then Stephanie put her hand on top of Tori's as we looked at her.
"And come home safely." She said as I nodded.
"And Ryan?" Yuma asked as I looked at him. "One more thing if it's not too much trouble, bring Shark home." I smiled and nodded.
"Of course, Yuma." I said as we then let go as I then saw them teleport onto the ship as it whisked them all away. I then turned back to face Shark.
"So you decide to face me all alone?" Shark asked as I grinned.
"I wouldn't have it any other way brother." I said.
"Well you won't be grinning for long!" He said as he then instantly morphed into his barian form.
"Right let's go!" I shouted as my own pendent glowed as I morphed into my barian form. Both our duel disks appeared on our arms as we both got ready.
"Let's Duel!" We both shouted.
Nash 4000 LP/Ryan 4000 LP
"I'll start the duel!" Shark said as he drew his card. "You just handle losing it!" He said as he made his first move. "I play Card of Ascension!" He announced. "By discarding a monster card, I can add a Rank Up Magic Card." He said.
"Let me guess." I said. "It's Rank Up Magic The Seventh One." I said.
"Correct Ryan." Shark replied. "And with it I can summon Number 101: Silent Honor Ark!" He said as his monster appeared.
Number 101: Silent Honor Ark (2100 ATK/1000 DEF)
"Then this xyz monster ranks up into a chaos xyz monster." Shark said as his monster glowed. "Go Chaos xyz evolution!" He chanted as his card went up into chaos sphere. "Now arise Chaos Number 101: Silent Honor Dark!" He said.
Number C101: Silent Honor Dark (2800 ATK/1000 DEF)
"Next up Doppleganger Shark swims onto the field." He said as his shark appeared.
Douppleganger Shark (1000 ATK/1000 DEF)
"Doppleganger Shark can transform into an exact copy of my water monster." He said. "Ryan prepare to see double! Doppleganger Shark transform into Chaos Number 101: Silent Honor Dark!" He commanded as his shark turned into his chaos monster. "Silent Honor Dark also gains the ability to attack you directly." He said as an aura glowed around his monster. "Next I play, Chaos Barrier, this spell prevents you from attacking, destroying or banishing my chaos monsters with your card effects."
"Ryan!" I heard Dine as she appeared next to me. "You're going to be okay right?" She said as I nodded.
"It's only a matter of time till I defeat you, go to Earth and destroy Yuma and Astral once and for all." Shark said as he placed two cards on the field. "And as a bonus, Astral World is going down as well.
"I won't let you Shark!" I yelled as I drew my card. "For my turn, I discard my level four Hypno Hippo from my hand to the graveyard." I said. "When this hippo is sent to the graveyard, I can take control of one monster on your side of the field, and I chose your original Silent Honor Ark!" I said as the spirit of my hippo which had two swirls on its nostrils appeared and aimed the swirls at Sharks monster as it disappeared from his side of the field and went onto mine. "Next I activate Hypno Hippo's other ability, when it's in my graveyard, I can use it to xyz summon, and when I do it counts as two monsters." I said as another spirit of my hippo appeared. "I overlay my two level four Hypno Hippos and xyz summon Bahmut Shark!" I said as my shark appeared on my side of the field
Bahamut Shark (2600 ATK/2100 DEF)
"Next I activate Silent Honor Dark's special ability, letting me take away your Doppleganger Shark and add it as an overlay unit." I said as it absorbed the copy. "Now go Silent Honor Dark, attack Shark directly!" I said as it hit Shark.
Nash 4000-1200 LP
"Not bad Ryan, but that will cost you." He said. "When you attacked me, you've allowed me to use one of my most powerful traps." He said. "I activate Duo of the Seven Emperors." As a trap card with an image of two familiar xyz monsters on it. "I can use it to summon two numbers used by my fellow emperors. Together we are unstoppable. I summon Dumon's Archfiend Seraph and my sisters Marin's Ragnainfinity!" He said.
Number C102: Archfiend Serpah (2900 ATK/2400 DEF)
Number C103: Ragnainfinity (2800 ATK/2400 DEF)
"The two monsters that were once your allies, are back to being your worst enemies." He said as I growled.
"My shark's too weak to attack them." I said. "But that doesn't mean I can't activate it's special ability!" I shouted. "By using one overlay unit, I can special summon an xyz monster of a rank below four, however my shark is unable to attack this turn, and I summon Mermail Abysstrite in defense mode!" I shouted as my monster appeared.
Mermail Abysstrite (1600 ATK/2800 DEF)
"I place one card face down and end my turn." I said as I then looked at the two monsters. "Duo of the Seven Emperors, if should know better it symbolizes the bond between Rio and Dumon." I said.
"You are correct Ryan." Shark said. "That card represents the deep bond those two share, something that you never had with my sister." He said as I felt mad from what he said.
"Ryan don't listen to him." Dine said as I looked at her. "Just focus on the duel and win." I nodded as I looked back at Shark.
"My turn, I draw!" Shark said. "Ragnainfinity attack Bahamut Shark!" He said as Igasped.
"Rio don't!" I shouted as her chaos monster attacked and destroyed my shark as my life points went down.
Ryan 4000-3800 LP
"And Archfiend Seraph, destroy Silent Honor Dark!" He said as I looked to see Dumon's monster destroy Shark's monster that I had control of as my life points went down again.
Ryan 3800-3700 LP
"But Silent Honor Dark won't stay away for long." Shark said. "If it had a chaos overlay unit when its destroyed it can return to my side of the field, and I gain life points equal to its attack points." He said as his monster appeared, and he gained life points as he was back to a full four thousand.
Number C101: Silent Honor Dark (2800 ATK/2100 DEF)
Nash 1200-4000 LP
"You still have one problem." I said. "Both Abysstrite and Silent Honor Dark share twenty eight hundred, meaning that my monster can't be destroyed." I said.
"You're lucky Ryan." Shark's voice echoed. "I place another card face down and end my turn."
"Now it's my turn, I draw!" I shouted as I looked down at the card I look. "Perfect." I said to myself. "I summon out Aquatic Lancer." I said as my lancer appeared. "And when its summoned I can special summon two more Aquatic Lancers to join him from my deck or my hand! And as it so happens, I have two more in my deck!" I said as two more appeared.
Aquatic Lancers x3 (1500 ATK/1000 DEF)
"Next I overlay all three of my level fours, build the overlay network and xyz summon Number 32: Shark Drake!" I shouted as the shark appeared.
Number 32: Shark Drake (2800 ATK/2100 DEF)
"Next I play this, the spell card Shark's Roar!" With this I can target one shark monster on the field and it gains five hundred attack points until the end of my turn."
Number 32: Shark Drake (2800-3300 ATK)
"Now go Shark Drake, attack Silent Honor Dark!" I said as Shark Drake swam across and destroyed Silent Honor Dark.
Nash 4000-3500 LP
"And what's more whenever a shark monster I targeted with Shark's Roar successfully destroys a monster on your side of the field, all the rest of your monsters go with it." I said as Shark Drake let out a roar as both Ragnafinity and Archfiend Seraph were destroyed. "Sorry Dumon and Rio." I muttered to myself. "I know how much those two meant to you."
"You've allowed me to activate my other trap Ryan, Chaos Hundred Universe." He said. "All the barian numbers you destroyed this turn are returned to my field." He said as Silent Honor Dark, Archfiend Seraph and Ragnainfinity returned.
Number C101: Silent Honor Dark (2800 ATK/2100 DEF)
Number C102: Seraph Archfiend (2900 ATK/2400 DEF)
Number C103: Ragnainfinity (2800 ATK/2400 DEF)
"And the same amount of barian numbers, are summoned onto your field." He said as I gasped. "Here comes Vector's Umbral Horror Masquerade!" He said as Vectors monster appeared
Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade (3000 ATK/1500 DEF)
"And I thought I've seen the last of that number." I said.
"Next it's Alito's Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus." He said as Alito's number appeared.
Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus (2800 ATK/2000 DEF)
"And finally, Girag's Giant Red Hand!" He said as a huge red hand appeared.
Number C106: Giant Red Hand (2600 ATK/2000 DEF)
I was amazed to see six of the seven emperors numbers on the field at the same time.
"Well Ryan?" Shark asked as I looked at him.
"I end my turn, and with that Shark Drake's attack points go back to normal." I said as I didn't know if attacking with the numbers he gave me would work.
Number 32: Shark Drake (3300-2800 ATK)
"Perfect." Shark said as he drew his card. "I now activate my final facedown, Hundred Summon, since I have three barian numbers on my field, this spell card lets me summon another barian number." He then let out an evil laugh. "I summon Mizar's Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon!" He said as the golden three headed dragon appeared on his side of the field.
Number 107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon (4500 ATK/3000 DEF)
"Ryan I'm scared." Dine said as I looked to see a frighten look on her face.
"Don't worry Dine, we'll make it out of this one somehow." I said.
"Ryan!" I heard Shark say. "Now you are in the presence of the full court of the seven emperors, now you don't stand a chance." He said as he let out a laugh as I stood my ground prepared for whatever it was he was going to throw at me.
