*Glen Kern island, Colin's House *
The Gaping hole in the front and Back in the house would give anyone pause. But seeing Marcantus standing in front of the house sent a chill through the air. Marc, stood catching his breath after almost being killed by the flying door. Ali got up and grabbed her duel disk she was about to pull out the blade hidden in it, but Marcantus reviled his hand from under his cloak and several strings flew out of his fingers and held Ali's hand in place unable to move.
Ali: Damn it!
Marcantus: Be lucky that I am not here to exterminate you. I have come for the Spirit rose.
Ali: Well we don't have it!
Marcantus: Yes you do. You just don't know it.
Marc snuck behind Marcantus, grabbed a wooden chair and hit him in the back with it. The Chair broke apart, but Marcantus seemed unhurt by it.
Marcantus: That was unwise boy.
A burst of Energy struck Marc from out of nowhere and he went flying through a window and shattered glass flew everywhere.
Laura: MARC!
Marcantus looked over and saw Laura standing in door way to the other room, Krystal and sam were with her.
Marcantus: Ah, my puppet, how are you my dear?
Laura: Screw you!
Marcantus felt the blood drip from his fingers, so he was forced to realize his control of Ali. He then disappeared and reappeared on the front of the house.
Marcantus: I see that I am wasting my time here...I will just return to the town on the opposite end of the island...138 people...I have seen them all and I will personally execute them all.
Sam: You wouldn't dare!
Marcantus: I would. I don't care about any of them. The Children. The Elderly. The Lonely. They are just a number. A Statistic in a war that dates back longer then you can imagine.
Sam: I Don't think so!
Sam gabbed his duel disk and ran out in front of Marcantus and ready the disk for a duel.
Marcantus: And who are you? You're not a rose.
Sam: No but this is my home, and I won't you threaten it!
Marcantus: Noble. But Futile. You wouldn't stand a chance 1 on 1 against me. So...
Marcantus looked over at the others who were on the porch. Laura ran to help the Injuries Marc.
Laura: Marc! Are you ok? You're not hurt are you?
Marc: Erk-Just my Pride.
Marcantus: How about you all duel me? I would like 5 on 1, but I don't believe you're fiancee will be in any condition to duel, so 4 on 1 is good enough for me.
Krystal: *Thinks: Hes THAT confident? I don't like this.*
Laura helped Marc to the porch, he sat down and handed Laura her duel disk.
Marc: Kick his ass!
Laura nodded, took her disk and got ready. Marcantus then looked toward Ali and Krystal.
Marcantus: Are you going o join us?
Ali: Krystal, what do you think?
Krystal: I don't think we have a choice.
The girls reluctantly got their disks and got ready. The 4 duelist's surrounded Marcantus ready to duel.
Marcantus: The rules will be as Follows. After each of you make a move, it will be my turn again. Feel free to attack me whenever, you do not have to wait until everyone goes. I'll even let you attack on the first move. I will duel my special way.
Marcantus then removed his robe, and as it fell to the ground around his feet, reviled him wearing Black and Silver Cloth around his body, but reviled that his had 4 arms. His 2 normal ones plus 2 fake doll like arms attached to his abdomen and each arm had a duel disk on it with a deck.
Krystal: What the hell?
Marcantus: To Compensate for this duel I have a deck for each of my turns. I draw 5 cards for each deck and I can only use them depending on the turn.
Sam: Thats crazy.
Marcantus (LP 4000): It's Sane. Now, Let's duel! *draws from first Deck* I'll start by summoning the Hectre Shosha (Lv.1 0/0)!
A circular blob with a circle in the center appeared on Marcantus' side of the field.
Marcantus: And then I'll set three cards face-down!
Sam (LP 4000): I'll make my move next! *draws* Since I don't have a monster and you do, I can Special Summon Cyber Dragon (Lv.5 2100/1600)! Then I Normal Summon Machina Sniper (Lv.4 1800/800)! Now, Cyber Dragon will attack your Hect- uh, uh, attack your thing!
Cyber Dragon fired its strident blaze attack at Hectre Shosha and destroyed it.
Marcantus: Due to its effect, I take no damage from a battle involving it. I now activate the Crush Card Virus Trap! Since a monster with 1000 or less attack power I control has been destroyed, it destroys all of your monsters with 1500 or more attack power on your field, in your hand and within the top three cards of your Deck!
Cyber Dragon and Machina Sniper rusted to the point of disintegration. Sam looked at the top three cards of his Deck and sent two of them to the Graveyard.
Sam: I'll end my turn with two cards face-down!
Marcantus: *draws from second Deck* I'll set one monster face-down in defense mode and four card face-down! That ends my turn!
Krystal (LP 4000): *draws* I summon Command Knight (Lv.4 1200/1900)! And now all Warriors I control gain 400 attack points! Now, Command Knight will attack your face-down monster!
Command Knight slashed Marcantus' face-down card, which was Needle Worm (Lv.2 750/600), and destroyed it.
Marcantus: Since you destroyed my Needle Worm, you must send the top 5 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard! But I also activate the Trap Poison Amplifier! When an effect that sends cards from the Deck to the Graveyard, the amount discarded are doubled! But wait, I activate another Poison Amplifier!
Krystal: Poison Amplifier is a Limited Card! You can only have one in your Deck!
Marcantus: I do. I have one in this Deck and one in this Deck. Plus I have one more in this Deck and another one in this Deck. Since I'm dueling with four different Decks, the Limited Cards rule is interpreted very loosely. Now say goodbye to half of your Deck!
Krystal was forced to send 20 of her cards from her Deck to the Graveyard.
Krystal: I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!
Marcantus: My turn once more! *draws from third Deck* I'll set three more cards face-down! That will end my turn!
Ali (LP 4000): *draws* *thinks: This is not good! Right now, he's got 8 face-down cards that are probably all Traps! How are we supposed to duel against that?*
Marcantus: Before you make your move, I activate a Trap! Land Rush! I look at the top 3 cards of your Deck and I take two of them and you take one!
Ali drew three cards from her Deck and showed them to Marcantus.
Marcantus: Hmmm... I will take Left Leg of the Forbidden One and Right Arm of the Forbidden One! And you can have Exodia the Forbidden One!
Ali threw the Left Leg and Right Arm cards to Marcantus and adds Exodia to her hand.
Ali: I'll just summon Forbidden Gardna (Lv.4 0/2700) in defense mode and set one card face-down!
Marcantus: *draws from fourth Deck* I now activate the Spell Cards Card Destruction and Serial Spell! You know what Card Destruction does, but Serial Spell forces me to send all the cards in my hand to the Graveyard to have its effect become the same as a Normal Spell Card I activated! So now you're all forced to send your hands to the Graveyard and draw twice!
Everyone sent their hands to the Graveyard, drew the same amount of cards, sent those to the Graveyard and drew again.
Marcantus: And I do believe Miss Skyler has six cards in her Deck.
Krystal: Bite me, asshole!
Marcantus: Upset because your precious knights are dead and buried? Doesn't matter now, because I'll just continue with my turn. And I'll continue by activating the Spell Card My Brother's Keeper! How it works is I select one card in my Graveyard and I search my opponent's Deck for a monster with the same attack and defense points. If I find that monster, I add it to my hand. If I don't, I discard my entire hand. I think I'll look for a monster with the same stats as Right Arm of the Forbidden One! And that's not all! I now activate another Serial Spell I laid face-down! Now I'l use them both to add your Right Leg and Left Arm of the Forbidden One!
Ali searched her Deck and threw the other two pieces of Exodia to Marcantus.
Marcantus: I think I've played around long enough. Now I return all monsters in my Graveyard to my Deck to summon Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord (Lv.10 ?/0)!
Ali: Exodius? !
Ali was shocked and surprised at the summoning of this monster. It was unlike anything she's seen in her life. Sam saw this and tried to look resolute.
Sam: Don't worry, we'll take that thing down!
Marcantus: I'd love to see you try, boy! First, I'll discard my Left Arm of the Forbidden One so Exodius can attack and gains 1000 attack points! Now, attack that little girl directly!
Exodius punched Laura and inflicted her with 1000 points of damage.
Marcantus: And that will end my turn!
Laura (LP 3000): *draws* I summon Nature Sprite Lilla (Lv.4 1500/1100)! And now Lilla will attack Exodius!
Marcantus: I activate the Trap Depth Amulet! By discarding a card from my hand, I can negate your attack!
Laura: I don't think so! Each turn, I can use Lilla's effect to negate a Spell or Trap effect that activates during one of her battles and return it to the owner's hand!
Marcantus: I now activate the Trap Undead Retaliation! When you activate a card effect, I can use this to negate the effect and destroy that card!
Lilla was destroyed by the effect of Marcantus' card.
Marcantus: And then I can place Undead Retaliation back face-down!
Laura: I'll place two cards face-down and end my turn!
Marcantus: My turn again. *draws from first Deck* First, I'll start by discarding a Normal Monster, Prism Warrior. So Exodius gains 1000 more attack points! And he'll attack you directly, boy!
Exodius attacks Sam and inflicted him with 2000 points of damage.
Marcantus: And I'll end my turn with two cards face-down!
Sam (LP 2000): You're really starting to piss me off!
Ali: Sam, calm down.
Marcantus: Yes, Sam. Listen to your babysitter like a good little boy.
Marcantus was intentionally antagonizing Sam. Sam's anger grew and wind starting blowing from below him.
Marcantus: Well now, he's a psychic duelist... Interesting.
Sam: I'll show you what's interesting, asshole! *draws* I activate Giant Trunade to return all of our Spells and Traps to our hands!
Marcantus: I activate Undead Retaliation to negate the effect and place my card back face-down again.
Sam: I was hoping you'd do that! Because now I activate Heavy Storm!
A storm hit the island as though it were real. Harsh winds blowing and heavy rain destroyed everyone's Spell and Trap Cards.
Sam: Now I use Monster Reborn to bring back my Cyber Dragon! Then I'll activate Power Bond to combine it with the two others I have in my hand to summon Cyber End Dragon (Lv.10 4000/2800)! And thanks to Power Bond, his attack power is doubled! Let's see your Exodius survive this attack! GO, SUPER STRIDENT BLAZE! ! !
Cyber End Dragon fired its Super Strident Blaze at Exodius and the blast completely obliterated him. The blast also engulfed Marcantus as his Life Points dropped to 0. A thick cloud of smoke surrounded where Marcantus was standing.
Sam: I got him!
Laura: Phew, I thought it was going to be tougher than that.
Ali: We're not done.
As the smoke cleared, Marcantus was still standing, but two of his fake arms were blown away.
Marcantus (LP 0): Very perceptive, Miss Clairoux. You saw me activate my Spell before I was attacked. The Spell Umbra Magister Pupa.
Marcantus then removed the duel disk from his left arm and drops it on the ground.
Marcantus: I think I'll finish this duel with just my actual Deck.
Sam: Your Life Points are at 0! You've lost!
Marcantus: Foolish child. When you destroyed 5 face-down cards, I was able to activate my Umbra Magister Pupa. Which prevents me from losing the duel because next turn, it will allow me to summon my Soul Card.
Krystal: Like the Skull King?
Marcantus: Granted, it's not as powerful as the Skull King, but it's still a mighty creature. I had wished not to summon it, such a pain, Exodius was all you should've seen from me. *Sigh* Oh well. It's a shame young Samuel won't be able to try and destroy it like he did my Exodius. I do believe the other effect of your Power Bond now activates.
Sam was hit with 4000 points of damage due to Power Bond's effect and was knocked out of the duel.
Marcantus: Now begone!
Marcantus then sent a shockwave from his palm that sent Sam flying and his back hit a tree.
Marcantus: Now I do believe it's my turn. *draws* Now, Umbra Magister Pupa activates and I can summon forth Minrathrous (Lv.0 3000/0)!
Suddenly, the sky opened up in a circle right above the duel field and hundreds of strings fell from it. Then a spiritual apparition of a human without a face or real appearance appeared next to Marcantus.
Marcantus: Minrathrous, destroy the girl with nothing on the field!
The spiritual apparition shot a beam at Laura and hit her in her shoulder. Laura fell as her Life Points were reduced to 0 and her eyes went black, almost as if the attack killed her.
Ali: LAURA!
Ali was about to rush to her sister's side, Minrathrous appeared in front of Ali to block her path.
Marcantus: This duel is not yet over. Stay where you are or I swear I will truly kill her.
Ali reluctantly returned to her spot, welling up with rage. She tried to keep a calm mind, but it was difficult and even though she could not see Marcantus' face from under that mask, she could tell that she was smirking.
Marcantus: That will do for now. Miss Skyler, your turn.
Krystal: *draws*
Marcantus: I now activate the effect of Minrathrous! Whenever my opponent draws a card, I roll a dice. Whatever the number it lands on, my opponent must draw that many cards.
Marcantus had a dice magically appeared in his hand and he tossed it. It landed on 6. The strongs above went down to Krystal and drew her cards. Krystal drew five cards, but she could not draw the sixth. She had no more cards in her Deck.
Krystal: Oh, no.
Marcantus: You lose.
Marcantus then sent a shockwave at Krystal and she landed on the grass.
Marcantus: Just you and me now, Miss Clairoux. I'll end my turn with a face-down!
Ali looked around at the field right now. The cards left by the defeated were still out, so she could still use them. This included Krystal's Command Knight and Sam's Cyber End Dragon.
Ali: *thinks: I could use Cyber End Dragon to end this duel, but he's probably anticipating that. That's probably what his face-down is for. I need to think.* *draws*
Marcantus rolled another dice and it landed on 4, so the strings forced Ali to draw four cards.
Ali: Since Gardna's been on the field during my Draw Phase, I can draw a card! *draws*
Marcantus rolled another dice and it landed on 1, so Ali was forced by the strings to draw another card.
Ali: First, I'll activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face-down card!
A mystical space vortex destroyed Marcantus' face-down Magic Cylinders.
Ali: Then Cyber End Dragon will attack Minrathrous with Super Strident Blaze!
The attack goes toward the spirit of Minrathrous, but it stopped right before it struck it down.
Marcantus: Once per turn, Minrathrous can negate an attack declared on it. And when the attack is negated, the controller of the attacking monster must send cards from their Deck to the Graveyard equal to the Level of that monster.
The strings sent 10 cards from Ali's Deck to the Graveyard.
Ali: I'll set two cards face-down and end my turn!
Ali was then forced to send four of the cards in her hand to the Graveyard.
Marcantus: *draws* *sighs* This is just a waste of my time.
Ali: What did you say?
Marcantus: Dealing with weaklings with you is such a pain. I can just take what I want. MINRATHROUS!
The strings from the sky grabbed and wrapped around Ali, preventing her from moving at all.
Ali: Let me go!
Marcantus: Silence! You are in no position to demand anything.
Marcantus walked up to her and grabbed her hand with the White Rose mark on it.
Marcantus: Invoco umbra virtutis potiri Rosae albae.
With that chant, a Dark Aura enveloped Ali's entire hand and an incredible pain shot through her body. She didn't scream but the pain was near unbearable.
Marcantus: Tenebris devorabit lux. Clavem reserare caeli. In ipsum de Sheh Umbra veneficus, ego usus umbras vocare foras, spiritus surrexit!
As if by magic, the Spirit Rose, the mystical flower with 10 different colored petals appeared out of Ali's hand. Marcantus Took the rose and the Holograms from the duel vanished. Ali then fell to her knees as the pain subsided.
Marcantus: I thank you for being so reasonable girl. I sense your other acquaintances nearby, I shall not overstay my welcome.
Marcantus then vanished, leaving Ali where she fell. In her anger, Ali punched the ground realizing she had just been used.
Ali: How...How...HOW...
She then covered her face. All of her emotions were flowing at once and she couldn't do anything about. She had always been able to control a duel, but then she just felt helpless.
