Ok, I just wanted to point out that Desiree is lust, not sloth. I'm sorry if I implied otherwise. Just wanted to clear that up. ANd just remember; Review Below, Let me know! ^^
In Atlantis City, Colin and Ali looked up at the giant, dragon-like battleship above them.
"How much you wanna bet the bad guys are on that thing?" Colin asked.
"I think I can guarantee that" Ali responded. "How are we gonna get up there?"
"We're gonna fly" Colin answered. "How else?" Colin then pulls out a Duel Monsters card. "Y-Dragon Head!" Y-Dragon Head then appeared on the ground and Colin got on top of it. "All aboard!"
"No way." Ali said. "I am not getting on that thing."
"Don't be such a baby!" Dark Magician Girl said. "It's not that bad. It's only 80 miles an hour."
"Screw that!" Colin shouted. "If we're going up there, we're going supersonic!"
Y-Dragon Head then had a sweat drop on the back of its head.
"No thanks." Ali said. "They probably took the people of the city up into that thing. If you fly up to the front and I go up another way, I can find the people while you get their attention."
"Well I like being the center of Attention." Colin smirked. Y-Dragon Head's jets then fired up and flew up at the machine. He went up to the front of it, which looked like an iron dragon head. He landed on top of it and looked around and waiting for him was Robert Ringford.
"Well, look who it is." Ringford said. "Come to see the birth of a new world?"
"No, I came to push you off the sides of your oversized toy boat!" Colin answered in a cocky tone.
"This toy boat is the ultimate weapon!" Ringford retaliated.
"Haven't heard that one before." Colin said.
"With this, I can obliterate entire nations in a matter of hours!" Ringford boasted. "And from the ashes, my new kingdom shall rise! And shall rule on top as Emperor!"
"..." Colin just gave him a blank stare. "Someone forgot to take their morning pill today, didn't he? The Asylum looks down upon that."
"Why don't you put your cards where your mouth is and we'll settle this the traditional way?" Ringford asked as he pulled out his duel disk.
" *snickers* YOU want to challenge ME to a duel?" Colin mocked Ringford. "This will be a piece of cake!"
Through a hatch from the underbelly, Ali Clairoux climbed up into a dark hallway. There were only two ways to go and one of them was a dead end.
"Those people should be in here somewhere." Ali guessed. She went to walk down the hallway and she did not notice small glowing cracks in the wall, so small that the naked eye could not see them at first glance, that seemed to follow her.
Ringford (LP 4000) Colin (LP 4000)
"The first move is mine!" Ringford said as he drew. "First, I'll set four cards face-down and then set one monster face-down in defense mode! That ends my turn!"
"Okay, Trap-apalooza right there." Colin said as he drew his first card. "And I know exactly how to counter that! I'll use Cost Down to send a card from my hand to the Graveyard so I can lower the Level of all cards in my hand by 2! Then I summon Jinzo (Lv.6 2400/1500)! Then I activate Monster Reborn to bring back the Perfect Machine King (Lv.8 2700/1500) I discarded! And I'll have Jinzo attack your face-down monster!"
Jinzo blasted a laser at Ringford's face-down monster, but it revealed itself as Spirit Reaper (Lv.3 300/200) and the attack went right through it.
"Spirit Reaper cannot be destroyed in battle." Ringford pointed out.
"Fine, I'll end my turn!" Colin said.
Ringford drew his next card. "First, I'll activate Pot of Greed to draw two more cards!" Ringford drew two more cards from his deck. "Then I activate Graceful Charity to draw three more cards and discard two!" Ringford drew three cards and discarded two cards from his hand. "Then I activate Double Spell! By discarding a Spell Card from my hand, I can activate a Spell from your Graveyard! I activate your Monster Reborn to bring back the Shiny Black "C" (Lv.1 200/500) I discarded! Then I activate the Spell Card Inferno Reckless Summon to summon two more Shiny Black "C" from my Deck! Then I activate my face-down Swords of Revealing Light to prevent you from attacking for three turns! That ends my turn!"
*Shiny Black "C"'s, huh?* Colin thought after drawing. *If those end up in his Graveyard, I won't be able to Synchro Summon. I can't Synchro Summon now, so I shouldn't destroy those monsters yet.* "I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!"
Ringford drew again. "I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!"
*He knows he can't activate Traps while Jinzo's out, so why set it down?* Colin thought. *What is he planning?*
Ali continued down the hallway for what seemed like forever. Finally she reached a room and it was filled with cryo-chambers and the chambers were filled with people in a cryo sleep. It appeared an entire city was held in the room.
"I guess I know what happened to the people." Ali said to herself. "How can I get them out of here?"
Ali looked around, looking for anything that can help these people. She did not hear the very hush hissing coming from the hallway she just came from.
Colin drew his card. "I'll just summon Gear Golem the Moving Fortress (Lv.4 800/2200) in defense mode and end my turn!"
Ringford then draws his card and smirks. "I'll set this monster face-down in defense mode! And now I think it's time to summon my Soul Card!"
A door opened up and fire shot up from under all of Ringford's cards, consuming them all.
"The only way to summon this monster is to have 5 Spells or Traps and 5 Monsters on the field at once!" Ringford pointed out. "And it's strength will awaken!"
The head of the iron dragon seemed to glow red as it powered up. A red surge of energy seemed to flow throughout the entire ship. Ali was still in the cryo-chamber room when the red energy filled the room. Suddenly, the bodies inside the cryo-chambers began to decompose. Ali, realizing these people were now dying, tried to break the glass to break them free, but the glass wouldn't break and she watched as all of those people died.
"Oh my God..." Ali muttered to herself in horror.
"Do you know how many people live in Atlantis City, Colin?" Ringford asked Colin. "Just around 12 million. We took every single one of them and brought them aboard this ship and each and every one of them had their soul absorbed to power up this magnificent monstrosity."
"12 million?" Colin asked in horror.
"That's a small number compared to those who will die at the might of my monster!" Ringford called as the ship began to move.
The iron head then roared with a metallic screech.
"BEHOLD!" Ringford Shouted. "Ferrum Draco Fidelitas Julius (Lv.0 5000/5000)!"
Colin looked down at his feet as the entire ship was shaking.
"Now that you've helped summon my creature, we shall go about and bring the world to its knees!" Ringford preached.
"Unless I blow a big hole in your boat!" Colin responded.
"You won't be able to scratch it!" Ringford pointed out. "Look at the size of it!"
"Big things don't scare me no more!" Colin said. "Granel, M.F.B Titan and Apocalypse Reaper! And guess what? I destroyed all of them!"
"You boast too much!" Ringford spoke back.
The cannons then pointed toward Colin and his monsters.
"Show him your Might Julius!" Ringford shouted. "MORTEM IGNIS BARRAGE!"
The Cannons Fired massive rounds of ammunition on a chaotic scale. The exploded in front of Colin right where Gear Golem was and destroyed it. It took a second for the smoke to clear before Colin could see what had happened.
"Ha! My Gear Golem was in defense mode!" Colin pointed out "I take No damage!"
"Perhaps, but each turn, Julius can attack one attack position monster and one defense position monster each turn!" Ringford explained. "NOW, DESTROY JINZO WITH MORTEM IGNIS BARRAGE!"
The cannons fired again and completely obliterated Jinzo, inflicting Colin with 2600 points of damage.
Ringford (LP 4000) Colin (LP 1400)
"I end my turn!" Ringford concluded his move.
Colin drew his next card. "I activate Limiter Removal to double the attack power of Perfect Machine King! Attack his boat!"
Perfect Machine King's power doubled and it punched the hull of the ship, which inflicted Ringford with 400 points of damage.
Ringford (LP 3600) Colin (LP 1400)
"Yeah, that's the end of your machine!" Colin cheered.
"No, it's not." Ringford said.
The iron dragon head then roared with anger.
"You only caused a scratch." Ringford said. "My monster cannot be destroyed up to 10 times!"
"That's ridiculous!" Colin said exasperated. "Fine, I'll destroy your monster ten times then! I'll end with this card face-down!"
Perfect Machine King was destroyed due to the effect of Limiter Removal. Ringford drew his card.
"Julius, attack that fool directly and obliterate hime!" Ringford ordered. "MORTEM IGNIS BARRAGE!"
All the cannons fired straight at Colin.
"Mirror Force!" Colin shouted out.
All the ammunition blasts struck the mirror that appeared in front of Colin and deflected them back at the battleship.
"That's two times already!" Colin said as he held up two fingers.
"You arrogant brat!" Ringford insulted.
"My move!" Colin said as he drew his card. " I activcate Pot of Greed to draw 2 more cards!" Colin drew 2 more cards. "Then I activate Polymerization to fuse the Dark Magician Girl and Machine Prince in my hand to create Technopath Magician (Lv.7 2450/2000) in defense mode! Then I activate the Spell Card Technopath Data to add 3 Technopath Spells to my hand!"
Colin took three cards from his deck and his duel disk auto-shuffled the deck.
"And I'll end my turn like that!" Colin said.
Ringford drew his next card. "Destroy that Technopath Magician!" He ordered his battleship to attack.
"I activate the Quickplay Spell form my hand Technopath Safeguard!" Colin responded to Ringford's attack. "This prevents Technopath Magician from being destroyed this turn!"
The barrage hit an invisible wall that appeared in front of Technopath Magician.
"My turn now!" Colin said as he drew another card. "I activate Plentiful Bounty!" Colin drew 4 more cards. "Perfect! You know, I almost came without these cards, but my brother Sam insisted I take them and who am I to refuse?"
"What are you on about?" Ringford questioned.
"I am 'on' about POWER BOND!" Colin said as he held up the Power Bond Spell Card. "And I'll fuse the 3 Cyber Dragons I just drew!"
"There's no way you drew all three Cyber Dragons at once!" Ringford said. "No one's that lucky!"
"Luck's my middle name, you bastard." Colin stated. "Now, say hello to the CYBER END DRAGON (Lv.10 4000/2800)! Attack with Super Strident Blaze!"
With its 8000 attack points, Cyber End Dragon blew through the hull and it caused a small explosion outside of the side of the battleship, inflicting Ringford with 3000 points of damage.
Ringford (LP 600) Colin (LP 1400)
"I'l set one card face-down and activate the Continuous Spell Card Technopath EM Current! As long as Technopath Magician is out, I don't take any damage from my own card effects like Power Bond! And that ends my turn!" Colin ended his turn.
Ringford drew his card. "JULIUS, USE MORTEM IGNIS BARRAGE TO WIPE OUT HIS MAGICIAN!"
The battleship fired its cannons at Technopath Magician.
"I activate the Quickplay Spell Technopath Summoning!" Colin responded to Ringford's attack. "Now I can summon a Level 7 monster from my Extra Deck and you have to choose it as an attack target!"
"If you bring out any of your Synchros, I can use my Shiny Black 'C's to destroy it!" Ringford reminded him
"I'll pick a fusion monster then!" Colin replied. "I choose to summon Iron Shield Alchemist (Lv.7 2700/2100) in defense mode!"
Fullmetal Alchemist holding Iron Shield Machine appeared in front of Technopath Magician and took the barrage of ammunition, but he wasn't destroyed.
"Iron Shield Alchemist can't be destroyed on the turn he's summoned!" Colin explained.
"Lucky move." Ringford said.
"Yeah, it was." Colin said as he started his turn. "And I got even more luck, 'cause I just drew the Super Strident Blaze Spell Card! If I have Cyber End Dragon out, I can choose one of two effects: either attack you directly or attack you three times!"
Cyber End Dragon's mouths began to glow.
"NOW ATTACK WITH SUPER STRIDENT BLAZE!" Colin commanded his giant cybernetic dragon.
One of the head s fired off to the right and destroyed most of the cannons lined up on the side. The opposing head did the same along the opposite side. The middle head then sent a stream down the middle and Ringford had to jump out of the way to dodge it, but he partially got caught in the blast.
Ali was running down another hallway, when she felt a violent shake that knocked her off her feet and she fell on her side.
"GaaH!" She grunted. "What is going on? !"
The total damage dealt was 9000 points, but because Ringford had his Soul Card out, its effect prevents him from losing the duel as long as it's on the field. The total number of times the battleship was destroyed was 6.
Ringford (LP 0) Colin (LP 1400)
"Yeah, I'm awesome." Colin praised himself.
When Colin got a good look at Ringford at saw that shrapnel had cut away at some of the right side of his face and he was bleeding and that the clothing on the right side of his shoulder were burned and his right arm was scorched.
"huff... I hate you. I hate you, I hate you, I HATE YOU!" Ringford screamed in madness.
"I hate you, too." Colin said. "Now make your move!"
Ringford then violently drew from his deck and smiled maniacally. Colin could see that Ringford was losing his insanity right before him.
"I ACTIVATE DEATH BARRAGE!" Ringford shouts out as he activated his Spell Card.
A barrage of missiles destroyed all of Colin monsters, they even hit Ringford's own monster, who survived the blows.
"IT DESTROYS EVERY MONSTER ON THE FIELD AND WE LOSE 400 FOR EACH OF OUR MONSTERS DESTROYED!" Ringford explained in a shouting voice.
Ringford (LP 0) Colin (LP 200)
Ringford was snickering loudly like a crazy person as Colin held his forehead and his hand was over his eye.
"That's seven..." Colin muttered.
Ringford stopped his snickering. "Wha...?"
Colin then removed his hand and Ringford noticed Colin's red eye and the black aura around his hand.
"That's seven, only three to go." Colin pointed out.
"That look! I remember that look!" Ringford remembered from when Colin beat Team Iron Legend. "You want to kill me! I can see it in your eyes! Hehehehehe! Too bad! You're going to die knowing I'm still going to live on! All your monsters have been wiped out and I still haven't attacked! FINISH HIM!"
The cannons aimed at Colin and fired. It appeared that Colin had been taken out.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Ringford laughed maniacally. "I WIN! I WIN, I WIN, I WIN, I WIN!"
Ringford (LP 0) Colin (LP 200)
When the smoke cleared, Colin was left unscathed and his Iron Shield Machine (Lv.4 0/1000) took the attack, which destroyed it.
"Sorry to break it to you, but when you destroyed my Iron Shield Alchemist, I was allowed to summon Iron Shield Machine from my Deck." Colin explained.
"NO NO NO NO NO NO!" Ringford screamed. "HOW? ! HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOOOOW? ! HOW DO YOU ALWAYS MANAGE TO SURVIVE LIKE THIS? ! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"
"My turn!" Colin said as he drew a card. "I summon Zero Core (Lv.1 0/0) in defense mode and end my turn!"
"JULIUS, ATTACK!" Ringford blindly ordered.
"I use Zero Core's effect to negate your attack!" Colin said as Zero Core glowed and stopped the missiles from firing. "And it's my turn! *draws* I'll set this face-down card and end my turn!"
"ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!" Ringford shouted furiously.
"Hold that thought for a sec." Colin said. "I have a Trap. Two-Pronged Attack! This destroys up to two of your monsters and one of mine!"
Zero Core explodes and two explosions occur inside of the battleship.
"And because you only have that one monster, I could destroy it twice!" Colin explained. "So that's 9! And now because my Zero Core was destroyed, I can summon Zeroth Attack (Lv.1 1500/0)!
A large, dark red robotic left arm with three pincer-like fingers, a cannon hole in the palm and a series of submachine guns on the lower wrist with a large blade on the upper wrist appeared on the field.
"And then Zeroth Guard (Lv.1 0/1000)!"
A large, dark red robotic right arm with three pincer-like fingers with a large, steel circular shield appeared on the field.
"Then Zeroth Carrier (Lv.1 800/800)!"
A large, dark red cylinder with four crab-like legs that were set apart in a perfect square formation appeared on the field.
"Zeroth Top (Lv.1 700/700)!"
A large, dark red robotic neck and head with a V-shaped visor appeared on the field.
"And finally, Zeroth Infinity (Lv.1 0/0)!"
A dark red muscular robotic torso with an infinity symbol in its core appeared on the field.
"Combine them all together to create…!"
Zeroth Carrier connected to the bottom of Zeroth Infinity, Zeroth Attack to Infinity's left side, Zeroth Guard to Infinity's right and Zeroth Top on top of Infinity, which lit up as soon as it touched the torso. All of the parts combined to form one gigantic monster.
"MEKLORD EMPEROR ZEROTH (Lv.1 3000/2500)!"
The first barrage of missiles head toward Zeroth Carrier, but it formed a barrier around itself that protected it from the missiles. Another set was blocked by Zeroth Guard, who was destroyed.
"Are you done yet?" Colin asked. "I need to finish this." Colin drew his card. "I activate the Equip Spell Upgrade! I select a Machine from my Graveyard and give my monster 500 attacks points and all of the selected monster's abilities! I choose Perfect Machine King, which increases his attack power all the way up to 5000! Zeroth, destroy this monstrosity."
Zeroth used its jets to fly over to the iron dragon head and it roared at Zeroth. Zeroth just charges up into a white light and blasted through the dragon's mouth. Several explosions occurred in the battleship and it powered down, the engines were completely blown away, stranding it in the high air over the open ocean.
"You lose Ringford." Colin said. His eye turned back to normal and fell down to his knees and on his hands completely exhausted. *What?* he thought. *Wh...why am I...so...tired...all of a...*
"BAH!" Ringford shouted. "YOU THINK THIS IS OVER? ! THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! I CAN SUMMON AN ARMY OF MONSTERS! STRAIGHT FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD!"
"Naw, You're done here."
Ringford heard a voice from behind him and as soon as he turned around, he got stabbed right in his stomach by a knife. Raza was holding the knife.
"B-b...but," Ringford said feeling weak and betrayed.
"You had to have seen this coming." Raza explained. "You were just a tool. Another pawn in this complicated chess game...OH! Speaking of which."
A Chessboard, with pieces on it appeared right beside them. It was the chess game the two had worked on since the beginning. Raza moved one pawn. "Checkmate." he smirked, winning the game. "Now...how bout a swim?"
Raza then dragged Ringford all the way to the side of the ship and threw him off without hesitation. Ringford fell from the sky, hundreds of feet down into the dark cold ocean below.
"Bye bye now." Raza waved to him. Raza turned to Colin who was still on his hands and knees, severely weakened by the last duel. Raza went over, stomped on his back so he completely fell to the ground. Raza then pulled out the Spirit Rose and held it in front of Colin's face. " Remember this? Stay put! You're not gonna want to miss this!"
Raza then took the Rose and held it up. A Dark aura surrounded the flower and shot a burst of bright energy up into the air. The Energy flew all the way up into the Aurora that covered the world and created a very large and very bright star in the sky. The star could be seen for miles all around the world. The Star lowered down and as it lowered down, it became smaller, as it approached the battle ship it was about the size of a human being. Then it took the form of a human. A 5 foot person, covered in a Black, dark purple robe of an intricate design and a pagan priest-like hat. His face was Emotionless and Soulless. Raza removed his hat and bowed down on one Knee before the short man.
"Welcome back to the world," Raza greeted. "Lord Sheh Umbra Et Veneficus."
