Last Time
"Shou..." A voice called weakly.
Hearing a familar voice caused Shou to break his kiss with Asuka only to see his brother, Ryo. His eyes widened in shock when he saw the taller Marufuji brother standing before him. "O-Oniisan...!?"
Ryo nodded clutching his chest.
Shou saw his dear big brother clutching his chest and it worried him. Quickly, he rushed over to his big brother's side. "O-Oniisan...what's wrong? Are you okay?"
"It's my heart..remember those shock devices i dueled you with last year?"
Shou nodded grimly as he remembered that horrible duel that had taken so much out of him. "Is...is this a side effect from those?"
"Yes..since ive used them and the underworld deck so much.." He lowered his voice so it was only a whisper. "I am dying."
Shou was horrified, and right at that moment, tears started to form in his large silver and red eyes. "N-no...y-you can't be...please...big bro...tell me you're lying...!"
Ryo hung his head. "I wish i was little brother..but sadly it is true..i will soon die from my heart conditions."
Shou bit his lower lip to try and stop any more tears from falling. "But I...there has to be a way to stop it, there has to be...!"
"There is one way.."
"W-what is it?" Shou said, already determined to help his big brother. "Tell me the way, please!!"
"You must defeat me in a duel..using the underworld deck."
Shou seemed to look scared with Ryo's words. "But...but how could I do that? I could never beat you...I..."
Ryo smiled kissing his brother's cheek. "You almost did. I have faith in you. If you defeat me i'll live..but if i win i will still die."
Shou blushed at his brother's compliment and looked down at the floor, "I...I'll try, big bro!" He said, looking up at him in a determined matter. "I'll defeat you...and I'll save your life!"
"I look forward to it. This may be my final duel if i win."
"No..." Shou said, continuing to look up at his brother. "Don't say that, Oniisan!! I'm going to beat you, you're going to live!"
Ryo smiled. "If i do die..i love you.."
Shou felt his heart skip a beat at Ryo's words. It was rare to hear his big brother act completely sweetly so when he did..."Oniisan..." He whispered, a tear rolling down his cheek. "I love you too...I won't let you die..."
"Lets duel.."
Shou didn't have as much confidence as he did when he was dueling Judai. He was nervous about dueling his brother especially because of the stakes that were at hand. But he was more determined than ever, and he forced himself to stay focused. He wanted to win...no, he HAD to win in order to save Ryo who meant so much to him. Shakily, he readied his duel disk. "G-game on."
End flashback
Ryo and Shou both drew 5 cards.
"I'll start onni-san. I'll place 2 cards facedown and summon Infernal Dragon in attack mode." (2000/0) A black-green scaled dragon appeared on the field growling menacingly at Ryo.
"That ends my turn." Shou replied softly.
Ryo drew a card and smiled. "Sorry little bro but I have the card to win right here." He flipped over Power Bond.
"Oh no!" Shou cried.
Ryo calmly sent 3 monsters to the graveyard. "I fusion summon Super Vechicroid Jumbo Drill." The drill from Shou's earlier duels appeared with 6000 points.
"I reveal my trap. It's Chithonian Polymer so I sacrifice my Dragon to take control of your monster."
"Very well. Due to Power Bond's effect I now lose 3000 points next I'll place one card facedown and end my turn." Ryo said calmly as his life point meter went to 1000.
"My turn. Draw." Sho drew a card.
"You triggered my trap card. It's known as Raigeki Break. I simply discard 1 card to destroy any card on the field that I want. And I choose your Drill."
Shou groaned as his monster exploded into pixels. He tossed the card back to Ryo and he slipped it back into his own grave.
"Now I play my Card Destruction card. So now we discard every card we're holding then we draw the same amount." Shou explained.
Ryo nodded. He discarded his 2 then drew 2 more.
Shou discarded 3 one of which was Exploder Dragon. He then drew 3. "I summon Cyber Dark Horn!" Shou shouted as a demonic-like machine appeared on the field. (800/800)
"Now my monster's special ability activates letting me bring back Exploder Dragon and attach it to Cyber Dark Horn. Therefore his attack points go up to 1800."
Ryo was down to a mere 1000 points with nothing on the field. He was immensely proud of his little brother.
Shou was shocked by the playing field at the moment. He was winning. On Shou's side of the field, not only did he have more life points but he also had the Cyber Dark Horn combined with the Exploder Dragon. With one direct attack to Ryo he would win. He would surely save his brother. Without hesitation, Shou called his attack. "Cyber Dark Horn! Attack Ryo's life points directly!" Shou shouted.
Ryo smiled as his life points dropped to 0. "You did it little brother.. thanks to you i'll be saved."
Shou couldn't help but feel tears form in his eyes, though they were tears of joy. "O-Oniisan...!!" He rushed over to his brother's side, and wrapped his arms around him hugging the taller bluenette tightly. He leaned against Ryo's chest and couldn't help but cry as he hugged him. "I'm so happy...I'm so happy, I saved you! You're going to survive!!"
Ryo smiled happily. "Yes thanks to you." Asuka grinned evilly in a way happy for Ryo.
Shou let go of Ryo, his silver and red eyes glistening in the light. "I'm so glad..."
Shou has won the duel so Ryo is safe. Boy was that close! R&R folks!
