Chapter 45: Abyss Guardian Two: To The End

Valon: Ok! Here I go! I use Over Boost to attack my shadow's life points directly!

Burning Knuckle-Atk/1000 Def/1000

Valon quickly jumped in the air and extended his right arm, which was burning knuckle and slammed his fist against Shadow Valon. Dark Valon was pushed back really hard and slammed to the end of the Seal of Orichaclos and then kneeled to the ground.

S.V: 3000

S.V: Heh, not bad Valon, but remember this, when you attacked my life points directly, you also activated your monster's effect. When you attack me, your monster is destroyed.

Valon: Don't you think I know that? Jeez! I send my Over Boost Legs to the graveyard…

Valon's armor legs were destroyed and only half of his body was still wearing armor. Shadow Valon gave an evil grin because his armor deck was actually stronger than his in many ways. If the real version of the Doom Bikers were to lose to their dark version, the dark version would be able to walk since their real ones lost the duel and with the help of the dark Millennium Items. But if it were to be some kind of tie, the real ones would lose their souls, but the shadow bikers would be placed back to their bodies and the Dark Millennium Items will be destroyed. That was one chance they couldn't afford to lose. If they win instead of them, they can challenge them again, because they have no soul, but if there is no winner, everyone loses.

S.A: Is it my turn yet?

Valon: Shut ya trap mate and I'll end my turn when I END MY TURN!!!

S.A: Hurry up! I want to defeat all of you as quick as possible.

Rafael: You think will be able to defeat them?

Alister: I hardly doubt that since they have no soul…but remember what we heard from Aeru when we were captured?

Rafael: How can I?

:Flashback:

Alister was thrown inside a prison cell and the black hooded figure quickly closed the door. A tall, black spiky hair male came up and was staring at the three cells holding each of the Doom Biker Gang.

"Rafael, Alister, and Valon captured sir," said the black hooded figure, "Now you don't have to worry about them helping out Yugi and the others."

Just then, three figures appeared out of figure that was exactly similar to the Doom Bikers. A tall strong male with spiky blonde hair, another male that had huge brown spiky hair, and another male that had red hair and looked sort of like a female.

"You three better watch out," said Aeru in a dark tone, "If these fools were to break out and you were to fight them, and the duel ends up being a tie, you all are placed back to their bodies…"

Unknown to them, Valon and Rafael were listening to their conversation while they were pretending to be asleep and as for Alister, he could barely make out what they were saying, but understood what happened if the duel ends up being a tie if they challenge them.

"Rafael, you hear what I hear," whispered Valon.

"Yeah…we challenge them and the duel ends up in a tie, they will be gone," whispered Rafael back, "Hope you heard that Alister…"

"I did…just little of it though," groaned Alister, "But one thing, how can we challenge them if were in here and they are out there and also carrying our decks?"

"Will find a way…or another way," whispered Rafael.

:End of Flashback:

Valon: Dang it. I end my turn…NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!

S.A: Finally. First I'll draw my card. Hahahaha! I play Cost Down! I give up War Factory in order to take two stars away from my monster! I now summon Fighter Jet in attack mode!

A huge fighter jet came out with four missiles, two underneath the wings, and a huge machine gun underneath the jet.

Atk/2200 Def/1700

S.A: Plus, My Fighter Jet gets an extra 500-attack boost thanks to the Orichaclos!

Fighter Jet-Atk/2700 Def/1700

S.A: All right! Before I attack, I'll get rid of your Perfectly Machine King! Now! Fighter Jet! Attack his Battle Footballer!

Fighter Jet quickly went up in the air and then dived bomb towards Alister's monster. It fired its missile at Perfectly Machine King and then fired its Machine Gun at Alister's Battle Footballer. Alister covered himself from the bullets and gave a small growl under his voice.

Alister's LP: 2300

Rafael: You ok Alister?

Alister: I'm fine! But I have to hand it to you, that monster is pretty strong…

S.A: I want to make sure I finish you off for good and I'll do it in any other way!

Rafael: Why you-

S.R: Temper, temper Rafael. It's my move now! …Hahahahaha! Looks like I drew it! Next up! I equip Demon Guardian-Hellsgate with Darkness Staff-Zunaken!

S.R: But that's not all! I sacrifice, Dark Guardian in order to summon Demon Guardian-Zunaken!

The blacked robed spellcaster quickly vanished and a huge black portal appeared where the Dark Guardian once was. A tall, blacked robed figure stepped out of the portal and the portal quickly disappeared. It was a huge black demon with blue eyes wearing a spellcaster-like robe and stared coldly into Rafael's eyes. It slowly opened its mouth and a long red tongue came out and giving a huge loud dark groan.

Demon Guardian-Zunaken

Atk/1900 Def/2000

S.R: Plus a little boost because of the Orichaclos. Making its attack power to 2400! But wait! I'm not done! I re-equip Darkness Staff-Zunaken from Hellsgate to Zunaken!

Demon Guardian-Zunaken-Atk/2400 Def/2500

S.R: That ends my turn, heh heh heh…

Rafael: Strange, why would my shadow summon a weak monster to the field? Surely he knows Alister's monster can destroy it when it's his turn….hopefully.

S.V: Now it's my turn mates! I draw and then I attack good ol' Valon! Time to lose Valon! I'll use my Jet Legs in order to attack your life points! Here I go mate! Flash Bomb! Ice Sword Arm! Ultimate Defense Guard! Jet Legs! And of course, Data Drain Helmet! Attack Valon's Life Points directly!

Shadow Valon raised his right arm and fired a huge bomb from its cannon, the left arm released a huge blizzard attack, the jet legs fired a huge inferno from it's feet, the chest armor released two cannons from it's back and fired two huge flares at Valon, and the helmet fired a small red laser at Valon also.

Rafael: Valon! No!

Valon: Not so fast Shadow! Activate Black Hole Shield's effect!

Valon raised his left arm a huge black hole appeared right in front of Valon absorbing all of Shadow Valon's attack. Everything was getting sucked up by Valon's left arm armor and soon, the black hole disappeared along with Valon's left armor arm.

Valon's LP: 4000

S.V: Damn! How could I forget that?

Valon: Don't forget mate! Send your Jet Legs to the graveyard!

Shadow Valon removed the Jet Legs card and discarded it to the card graveyard. Only top of his body was covered in armor while Valon had only his helmet, his right arm, and his chest. Valon didn't know how long he can hold this up.

Alister: Glad your ok Valon! You better not lose against them because we need your help man!

Valon: Don't worry Alister. I still have some fighting in me…

Alister: Good because now it's our turn! First I'll do my move! I draw! Ok! Next up, I equip Machine Conversion Factory to Machine King to raise its attack power and defense power by 500 points!

Machine King-Atk/2800 Def/2500

Alister: Just enough fire power to take down your Fighter Jet! Machine King! Attack his monster!

Machine King ran towards Shadow Alister's jet monster and released two cannon's from its arm. It fired its weapon at Fighter Jet and the jet monster was blown up into pieces. Shadow Alister gave a dark look seeing that he lost one of his best monsters.

Shadow Alister's LP: 1700

S.A: Yo! Shadow Valon! Why didn't you protect me?

S.V: I'll protect ya when I get the chance ok? You'll see!

Rafael: Enough talk! …Man…I got nothing. I set one card and end my turn…

Valon: It's ok Rafael! Will get them! Oh shoots! Were getting bad cards!

S.A: Hahaha! Losers! I draw! …Yes! Now feel my power fools! I summon Battle Tank Alpha! After that, I play my spell card, Battle Tank Squad!

Three tanks appeared on Shadow Alister's field. A huge green tank with three cannon's was aiming at Alister, called Alpha. Then there was a yellow tank that had one cannon and small gattling guns on the side pointing at Rafael, called Beta. And the last one was a red tank, with one cannon and had a huge machine gun at top, which was aiming at Valon called. Gamma.

S.A: The end is near Alister! I destroy all your cards on your side of the field and I attack your life points directly! Battle Tank Omega! Attack with Heavy Fire!

Battle Tank Omega-Atk/6000 Def/2300

The silver tank fired its three cannon's, fired its gattling guns, fired lasers, and its machine gun at Alister with heavy power. It destroyed Alister's Machine King and the blast went right past it and fired him at the same time.

Rafael: Alister!

Valon: No!

Alister fell into the ground, defeated, and was knocked out. Soon, a small ball of light came out of his back and was hovering above his body. It went straight to Shadow Alister's Dark Millennium Scale. Shadow Alister gave a huge evil grin and the other two shadows started laughing.

S.R: One down! Two more to go!

S.A: I feel so free...I feel free! Hahahahaha! Alister is no more! Now I remain! Hahahahaha!

Rafael: You're going to pay for this! All of you!

Valon: No one takes our best bud away from us yo!

Two leg armors appeared on the field and attached themselves to Shadow Valon's leg. Steam came out of his foot after they attached themselves to him. Shadow gave a dark grin and prepared for an attack.

S.V: Time to lose mate!

Valon: Actually, yeah I can!

I don't need to discard a card from hand to activated Baou's sword. Guardian Ceal! I give up Shooting Star Bow-Ceal in order to destroy one monster! Destroy Shadow Valon's Ultimate Defense Guard and I also give up Rod of Silence Kay'est to destroy Shadow Alister's Battle Tank Omega!

A huge beast grabbed Guardian Kay'est Rod and put it on his bow. It aimed at Battle Tank Omega and fired at it. Battle Tank Omega was hit and instantly blew up into many pieces. Guardian Ceal then aimed an arrow at Shadow Valon's chest armor and fired at it. When the air hit Shadow Valon's chest armor, it too, blew up instantly.

Shadow Valon screamed in pain and all his armor was destroyed and when the earth spikes disappeared, he was slammed into the ground hard in defeat.

Shadow Valon's LP: 0

Rafael: Now you're going to lose your soul Shadow Valon! Hahahahaha! …WHAT!

Shadow Valon got up and wiped his mouth with his arm and gave a huge evil grin. Shadow Alister and Shadow Rafael starting laughing hard and the real Valon and Rafael gave a confuse look.

S.V: Sorry mate. I can't lose my soul. Why? Because I'm just a shadow mate, I don't have a soul!

Shadow Valon went through the Orichaclos shield and then faced at the Doom Bikers with an evil grin.

S.V: You can defeat many times as you like Rafael, but I can't lose! Hahahaha! And if one of you survives the duel, all three of us can face you again until you lose!

Rafael: So, if we defeat Shadow Alister, he'll lose the duel then!

S.A: Not really Rafael. You see I too don't have a soul. My Dark Millennium Scale stole Alister's soul, but that doesn't mean I have his soul in my body. I can escape the Orichaclos powers anytime I want too! Hahahaha!

Valon: Oh great mate! Then what are supposed to do?

Rafael: We have to end this duel in a tie…

Valon: How can we do that? Easier said then done Rafael. We don't have any cards in our deck to end a duel in a tie.

Rafael: Maybe not you, but I got something in my deck just to help us…

Valon: Whatever it is, I hope you get it.

Rafael: Right. Ok, since it's still my turn, Guardian Ceal! Guardian Baou! Guardian Kay'est! Attack Shadow Alister's life points as well!

The three guardians dashed towards Shadow Alister and Shadow Alister prepared to get the beating of his life. Guardian Ceal, punched Shadow Alister in the chest, Guardian Kay'est fired a water flare from her hand to Shadow Alister, and Guardian Baou slashed him with his sword. Shadow Alister kneeled on the ground also in defeated, but at the end, he gave a nasty grin.

Shadow Alister's LP: 0

S.A: I may have lost this duel, but Shadow Rafael will end this duel!

Atk/0 Def/1500

Jet Gun Turret equipped itself to Valon and Valon lifted up is left arm and did a fighting pose.

Valon: I'm invincible!

Valon dashed towards Shadow Valon and pressed his left arm back. When he reached Demon Guardian-Hellsgate, he slammed his left arm at him and released a spike from his hand.

Valon: Say goodbye to your precious Demon Guardian Dark Rafael!

S.R: Heh, so weak…Demon Guardian-Ku Na Ku! Protect Demon Guardian Hellsgate from him!

A huge black beast appeared in front of Hellsgate and lifted up his arms at Valon. A huge black shield appeared with many strange symbols on it and there was a huge impact when Valon hit the shield. Valon gave a cry of pain and was pushed back to the Orichaclos shield and hit the ground hard.

Valon: Argh…what…happened?

S.R: Demon Guardian-Ku Na Ku negates all effects on my opponent's side of the field that target one of my guardians. Guess what? Since my monster had 3000-attack power, and yours 0, you lose 3000 of your life points!

Valon manages to get up and in was weak state and looked at his duel disk.

Valon's LP: 1000

Then, Valon looked at his left arm. His Jet Gun Turret started to crack and then exploded and Alister had only his helmet, his chest armor, and his right arm. Shadow Rafael gave a grin and drew his next card.

S.R: Well, well, well. What do we have here? A card to finish you off Valon? I say YES! I play, Power of the devils!

Valon: Ya forgot something mate! I have Active Guard Chest Armor equipped to me! I have 4000 defensive power and your monsters don't come even close enough to 4000 or higher attack points!

S.R: Power of the Devils negate all monster effects on my opponent's side of the field, so now, your monster has 2500 defense points. And you're going down for good Valon! Demon Guardian-Hellsgate, attack Valon's chest armor! Demon Guardian-Zunaken, wipe out the rest of his life points by destroying everything else!

The huge demon guardian Hellsgate dashed towards Valon's chest armor and destroyed it by slashing it. Then, Demon Guardian-Zunaken raised up its staff and a huge black flare appeared out of the want and wiped out Valon's life points. Valon cried in pain and fell on the ground shaking. Valon lost the duel, and was about to lose his soul.

Valon's LP: 0

Rafael: Valon! No!

S.R: Now, since I destroyed your monster with Demon Guardian-Hellsgate, I can activate his effect now. I'll increase my life points by 300 points, and Rafael, you'll lose 300 of your life points!

Rafael's LP: 800

Shadow Rafael's LP: 2300

S.V: Guess now it's my turn to grab Valon's soul!

Rafael: Valon! Stay strong! Don't give up to the Orichaclos!

Valon: huff…….puff….sorry….mate……but I can't…fight…anymore…sorry…Rafael…for letting you done…….

Shadow Valon lifted up his Dark Millennium Key and a Valon started to glow brightly. A small blue ball of light appeared out of Valon and went through the Orichaclos and inside the Dark Millennium Key.

Rafael: Valon…SHADOW!!! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!!!

S.R: Now all I need is your soul, and all three of us will finally be free from you! Now your finished Rafael! Demon Guardian-Ku Na Ku! Finish off his life points, by destroy Guardian Kay'est!

The demon guardian ran towards Rafael and then was about to slash him. Rafael closed his eyes and prepared for the worst. Just then, Guardian Grarl came up and blocked the attacked and Rafael opened his eyes.

S.R: What the hell! What happened?

Rafael: Guardian…Grarl?

Guardian Grarl pushed back Guardian Ku Na Ku and went back to Shadow Rafael's side of the field.

Shadow Rafael's LP: 1500

Rafael: My monster protected me.

S.R: Well I'm sure that won't happen again!

Rafael: …This is my chance! This is my chance now!

S.R: What are you talking about?

Rafael drew his next card and looked at it. This was it, this was his chance now. He finally drew the card he needed.

Rafael: I play, The Sacrifices of The Guardians!

The Sacrifices of The Guardians

(Magic Card)

This card can only be activated if you and your opponent's Life Points are 2000 or below and you have 2 or more Guardian monsters on your side of the field. Both players destroy all cards on the field, in their hand, and then choose one card in their deck. Once they choose a card in their deck, the rest of the cards in the deck go the Graveyard. Both players play the card they choose and if both are monsters, the monster with the highest attack power wins and the duel ends. If both players choose a non-monster card, they must send it the Graveyard and choose another card. The opponent first chooses a card and then the controller of the card chooses after the opponent.

S.R: You're giving up a lot of things Rafael. This is a big risk!

Rafael: Heh, let's see what happens to us…

Both players choose a card in their deck and sent every other card to the graveyard. Both played their cards and waited what happened. Rafael summoned Guardian Elma and Shadow Rafael summoned Demon Guardian-Nious.

Rafael: I though you had only 3 Demon Guardians?

S.R: I lied! But it seemed it didn't matter. Both our monsters have the exact attack power.

Guardian Elma-Atk/1300 Def/1200

Demon Guardian-Nious-Atk/1300 Def/1300

Rafael: Now we send these two cards to the graveyard and choose another card. Last chance for us or else it's all over.

S.R: Heh, I bring back my Demon Guardian-Hellsgate! What card do you choose Rafael?

Rafael: Damn…

Rafael showed his card to Shadow Rafael and it was Ring of Destruction. Shadow Rafael laughed and Rafael looked down in defeat.

S.R: You lose Rafael! Demon Guardian-Hellsgate! Finish him off and win this duel for me!

Rafael: Hahahahaha!

S.R: What's so funny Rafael?

Rafael: You're so stupid! I play Rind of Destruction! I'm sure you know what this card does!

S.R: Wait! Hold on a minute!

Rafael: The Sacrifices of The Guardians allows us to choose any card on the field. If the card is the right in the right is choose, that means this duel can end in a DRAW!

S.R: I don't get it!

Rafael: Don't you see? When our monsters had the exact attack power, we had to choose another card. You choose Hellsgate, I choose a trap card. You played it, I played it on the field face-down. You attacked, I activated it because trap cards can instantly be activated thanks to The Sacrifices of The Guardians!

S.R: Wait…you mean, that magic card of yours had a small Hidden Effect?

Rafael: I know how to tap into my cards effect…

S.R: No! This can't be happening!

S.A: Do something Rafael!

S.V: Hurry!

S.R: I can't do anything! I can't do anything.

S.V: No!

S.A: I'm not going back to that body again! No!

A huge ring appeared on Hellsgate and next then, there was a huge explosion. Rafael and Shadow Rafael were pushed back, both with their life points at zero.

Shadow Rafael's LP: 0

Rafael's LP: 0

There was a huge bright light on the Dark Millennium Items and then a huge bright flare came out of it. It aimed at Alister and Valon and the light disappeared in them. Shadow Alister's Dark Millennium Scale was destroyed and Shadow Valon's Dark Millennium Key was destroyed also.

Rafael: You and me…are going down together…

S.R: No…no! NNNOOO!!!

Shadow Rafael's Dark Millennium Eye was smashed into many pieces and all three Shadow Bikers turned into a black spirit-like fog and went inside their original bodies. Rafael smiled softly and fell on the ground exhausted and felt the Orichaclos getting smaller.

Rafael: I did it…thanks…do you…guys…

Rafael closed his eye and fell into unconscious when the Orichaclos disappeared taking his soul and also Valon and Alister's soul.

Later on…

Dartz opened his eyes. He looked at his Dark Millennium Rod and then into the ceiling. He sensed the powers of the Dark Millennium, Eye, Scale, and Key disappearing. Aeru too sensed the disappearance of the Dark items, but paid no attention to it.

"Looks like the Shadow Bikers are gone," said Dartz, "Who's the next Abyss Guardian?"

"Heh, glad you asked Dartz. It's going to be one of the best duels Kaiba is going to face," laughed Aeru.

In the Prison Cell…

Michelle was stroking Mokuba's hair and humming a bit to him, even though Mokuba couldn't hear her. Just then, two hooded black figures opened the cell and went inside. Michelle looked up and held Mokuba tight.

"What do you freaks want," said Michelle in a dark tone.

"We are here for the boy," said the first hooded figure.

The second hooded figure pushed Michelle out of the way and the first hooded figure grabbed Mokuba and carried him away while Michelle was fighting with the second hooded figure.

"Leave him alone you freaks! What are you going to do with him," yelled Michelle.

"None of your business girl," yelled the second figure.

The black figured pushed Michelle hard against the wall and left the cell. He closed the cell, and both walked away, leaving Michelle alone.

"Seto…where are you? Mokuba's in danger…I'm in danger," cried Michelle.

Her memories still went on and on when Michelle was kidnapped by those two black hooded figures.

Michelle. I'm sorry. But I'll come to you. I'll rescue you. You…and my brother. Don't worry.

Michelle smiled softly and knew Seto would come. To save Mokuba and her. She went to her bed and laid down on her side becoming a ball and wrapping her knee around herself. Michelle waited and waited. But one thing raced in her mind also. Those two guys, Mikey and Vince.

In the third floor…

Yami and the gang continued setting upwards to the top of the tower. Yami was thinking about Rafael and the others, how they were doing and wondered if they were ok. Yami was holding on Serenity, Duke, Tristan, and Tea still had worried looks on Serenity, Joey was upset and wanted to kick Dartz and Aeru's butt, and Seto was focused on getting Mokuba and Michelle also. Mikey and Vince were still behind them unaware to the gang that their two friends worked with Aeru.

"I wonder who will be the next guardian," asked Yami to himself.

"Who cares! All I care about is getting Serenity's soul back and finishing off Dartz for good! After that, get Aeru," yelled Joey.

"I can't believe this, but I'm going to agree the mutt on this," yelled Seto, "Dartz and Aeru took away my brother and Michelle away from me! I'm not going easy on those punks!"

"One thing I'm most worried about," said Tea in a worried tone.

"What's that," asked Tristan.

"Is it the guys outside," asked Duke.

"Hey, don't worry," said Mikey, "I'm sure they are doing alright."

"Those guys don't have a chance against them," said Vince.

"I hope your right you two," said Yami looking down.

"Bakura, Marik, Mai, Mako, Rex, Weevil, Espa, I hope they are doing ok," thought Yami, "Yugi…I hope your ok."
