Yugioh 5D's: Konami/Kazuki Takahashi
The afternoon sun bathed the city of New Domino with its warmth. A perfect day for going to the park; and two girls in particular. Sitting in the soft grass one had short dark-green hair and radiant amber eyes. She wore a bright-yellow shirt under a pitch-black overall skirt. Lolling upon her lap rested another with short midnight-blue hair. Her elegant frilly black dress moved from nature's gentle breath. Her small figure shifted as she woke up from her peaceful slumber, letting the sun reflect from her crystalline blue eyes.
"Gabriella," she mumbled, "How much do you love me?"
"Hmm?" Gabriella was a bit dazzled by what her friend just said, "What do you mean?"
"I mean do you care about me? Enough to hold me and never, ever let go...?"
"But what about you parents? Don't they love you that much?"
"Yeah, they do, but only because I please them. But I don't know how long I can keep up..." the insecure girl shivered, trying to fight back her tears, "What if I mess up and they throw me out like the mistake I am?"
"Don't say that!" Gabriella snapped, "Don't you dare say a thing like that! A parent would never hate their child! Just keep trying!"
"You actually believe I can do it?" the girl's cheeks were painted a light blush. The she welcomed her with a small hand, "But Gabe..."
"Yes..." Gabriella took the girl's hand and gently squeezed it with her own, then pressed them against her cheek, hoping to pacify the girl with her warmth, "I love you too, Xiki."
YuGiOh: 5D's
Reverse of Arcadia
Ride 15: Into the Twilight's Den
Xiki Nomura woke up in the dark range of her bedroom. That dream she had, she wished she had never left. Ever since she was forced out of her home, she was always scared of the world around her. The dreams were all she had left of happiness. This was her actual self: a terrified little girl, always afraid. She clutched her pillow tightly against her chest, unable to keep her tears from flowing freely from her glossy eyes. Only when she was in solitude, like times like these, could she express herself freely. In fact, she adopted this 'tough-girl' facade because she was scared she would be ridiculed, instead of feared as she wanted everyone to be of her.
That might as well be true. Ever since she lost to that Satellite at the Fortune Cup, the Underworld lowered her standards to that of a joke. But that didn't cripple her dueling. Each time she would participate in an underground duel, she would vent out her rage on anyone in her way. That was why this little wolf sent her pack out on a little hunt…
"Colossal Fighter, attack!" an enormous fist was brought down on a Skull Servant, sending it back to the underworld along with its master's life-points.
Jason: 2000
Biker: 0
'Man! I can't seem to catch a break!' This was true: ever since Jason entered the Damon area, he was met with an unkindly welcome wagon of bikers. They have been tailing him across the streets, forcing him into duel after duel to bring down his runner, and he doesn't know why. "Seven Swords Warrior! Attack now!" the golden knight brought his swords down on another biker, wiping out the rest of his life points as well.
Jason: 2000
Biker: 0
"There's just no end to them!" no matter how many times he takes out an opponent, Jason gets swarmed with two more. At this point, there is only one way to avoid this seemingly endless biker gang: escape. He found a nearby path and swerved right into the narrow path. But several of the thugs broke off from the group and went after him. Jason quickly moved into another alleyway, and a few more chased him. Their pursuit continued until Jason reached a dead-end. Our favorite Satellite turned to face three or four thugs on their duel-runners. There was only one direction Jason can go now and that's forward, even if he had to face that biker army again. So he adjusted his bike and revved his engine. The Satellite then stepped on the accelerator and released the brake instantly, letting himself shoot across the alley and toward the bikers. There was enough leeway for him to zip through them.
…Unfortunately, it only took one swing of a crowbar to knock his lights out and his butt off his runner.
With Jason now out of commission, the bikers were relieved they will bring him to their boss without resistance. But their abduction did not go unnoticed, for they were under surveillance by a somewhat familiar green duel-runner…
Meanwhile…
Rico had no idea how long he had been walking. Ever since the little boy had remembered, he had been walking endlessly across this dark, narrow corridor. He did not remember when he started walking and he does not know when he will stop or where. And with the darkness looming around him, he really wisher Akiza was here to keep him company.
But Rico got his desired answer when he reached his destination. He entered a large dome-shaped chamber, with a ceiling painted as a dusked/dawned sky. He walked forward to the center to what appeared to be a small pedestal. On it was two pendants: one was a bright-orange sun, the other a dimming full moon. Rico tried to pick up the sun pendant, but despite its small size, it was too heavy to even be moved off the table; the same applied for the moon pendant.
What was he doing in there, he wondered? What was the whole purpose of him even being here? There was one thing left, though. A door appeared on the opposite side of the room. With a small twist of the knob, Rico opened the door, revealing only a bright veil of light on the other side. Its radiance concealed his field of vision…
Rico suddenly gasped as he opened his eyes. He sat up on his bed as his breathing became hoarse. It was all a dream, it turned out. He sat in bed, his legs folded close to his chest, scared of what might happen next…
And he did not even know he was being watched through a two-way mirror from a room next door.
Soon, the devious leader of the Arcadia Movement known as Sayer entered the room. "Was there any progress while I was away?" he asked impatiently.
""It's the same result as we got in our previous tests," answered his research assistant, Seria, "Abnormal brainwaves were being emitted from Rico while he has asleep. But other than that, nothing."
"Well, that's not good enough!" the auburn-headed psychic snapped, "We can't find any clues to the Spirit World with just that! Spirit Caller or not, this boy has outlived his usefulness. He's worthless to us now. Sayer turned back toward the door and began to leave, "Get Luna ready in a few hours. Perhaps she could give us the answers we need."
"Yes sir…"
Later…
Jason woke up later with a massive migraine. He had no idea how long he had been out. And he did not know where he is. Looking around helps none, because all he could see was an infinite plane of darkness. He could not get up, worrying of running into something he would not supposed to.
Then a collection of sliding bars and twisting gears was heard. The door opened with a few shadows blocking the way. Jason had no chance to ask any questions as he was yanked up and brought out of his cell. He was being led through a dark hallway, lined with many cell doors one after another. As he got closer, he could hear small cheering ahead. The guards held tightly to the Satellite and made sure he didn't try anything.
Finally, the passed a pair of doors and entered a giant room, with many formal-wearing people settled around tables, wearing masks. In the middle was a large cage, with rows of barbed wire snaked across the top rails. The guards opened the cage and threw Jason inside, and tossed a duel-disk to him. Jason could feel cold metal bearing down on his neck, wrists and ankles. He felt himself over and found himself shackled with several collars. Across from him was a man in the same condition as well, shackled with metal collars?
"Now duel!" the guard barked as he slammed the cage behind him.
"Wait! Why do we have to—"
"I'll make the first move!" Jason was interrupted by his opponent as he began the game. "I summon Giant Orc(4/2200/0) in ATK mode!" a large pale ogre appeared, wielding a giant bone club.
"Wait a minute! Where are we?" Jason demanded, "What's going on?"
"I'll tell you what's going on!" the opponent said, "We fight, while they…" he waved toward the audience, "While these 'spectators' here watch us and place wagers!"
"What? That's ridiculous! Look, we don't have to do this!"
"Tell that to her," Jason looked toward where his opponent was pointing. And there she was, sitting atop of a balcony on a makeshift throne, was the most dangerous person in Damon, the Twilight Princess, the Queen of the Underground Duel, the Alpha Wolf …
"Xiki Nomura…"
"And if you know what's good for you, you'd better keep her entertained!"
The Satellite could not believe what he is going through. He liked dueling as much as anyone else, but there was no way he would be someone's court jester; especially when he had been knocked out and dragged into who-knows-where-this-place-is. So this is his reply:
"…No thanks."
But that proved to be a near-fatal mistake. He received several beatings from the guards that sent him there. It hurts really badly, but Jason was tough. But just a few more and he fell unconscious. Now he was slumped back in his cell, his body still burning from the punishment he received.
The door opened once again, this time inviting his captor, Nomura. She wasted no time to say hello as she snatched up her prey from his wrists and slammed him into the wall behind him.
"Now, let's get one thing straight, Satellite," the girl snarled, her voice seethed in barbarism, "My fans don't vote for one side of the box. So unless you wanna get thrashed every time you hold a duel-disk, you'll give me a better show next time, do you understand."
Jason tried to resist her and free himself from her grip, but he was knocked back into the wall, the Twilight's claws digging deeper into his skin, drawing out blood.
"NO! No, you don't move unless I say you can move!" Nomura snapped, "Just because you embarrassed me at the Fortune Cup you think you can just deny me?" she socked him in the gut and allowed him to sink to the floor, just so she could stamp him with her boot. She wanted him to realize who was in charge her, "You're a street rat from the Satellite. You're no better than the dirt you roll in!" her heel dug deeper in Jason's back, "You have no place in this world. You don't deserve to treat me like you did back there. In fact, you don't deserve to be in the same room as I am! No one is!" Xiki kicked the Satellite back against the wall, before dragging him back to his feet by his hair. Her voice then turned into a growling whisper as she leaned close to the Satellite's ear, "You're mine now. You are the mutt, I am your master. And I will teach you what happens to dirty strays who betray their master. You will be begging at me feet soon enough…" finally, the lone wolf released her prisoner, and left him alone to rot…at least for now…
Later...
Jason was now being led down the same hallway once more, entering the same room, and got thrown into the very same cage. But there were a few alterations. His bindings were hooked with chains and bolted to the floor. As for his adversary this time, his opponent was Nomura herself, raring and ready to pounce on her prey.
"It's not too late, Xiki!" Jason warned, "You can stop this!"
"Save your breath, Satellite. You'll need it when you're on your knees begging," Nomura growled and activated her duel-dusk, "Now this will be an 8000-point match. And until one of us reach zero, no one is leaving this cage. Now duel!"
Jason: 8000
Xiki: 8000
"I'm going first! And I summon (1)(5D's) Pikeru's Familiar(1/300/0) in DEF mode!" Nomura summoned a small, white, scapegoat-like sprite, "Now I place 2 cards face-down! Now go ahead and fight!" she slapped two more cards in her disk and two reverses appeared.
"I don't know why you've been so upset, Xiki, but I have to react you one way or another. So I'll accept your challenge!" Jason drew his sixth card, 'A weak monster in DEF mode and 2 face-downs… I better start off small.'"I summon (6) R-Genex Turbo(4/ATK: 1500/1300) to the field!" another new Genex debuted on Jason's side of the field. This green-alloyed humanoid was equipped with four long rocket nozzles on its back, as well as a brightly glowing ring on its chest (ATK: 1500), "Attack Nomura's familiar! Go, Turbo Shot!" exhaust spewed from the mecha as Turbo dashed towards the small lamb and kicked it off the ground. The monster exploded into pixels before it even fell to the ground.
"Just like in the Fortune Cup, you went headfirst without thinking! I activate my trap, (5D's)Tag Twilight!" Xiki revealed her trap card, which depicted a raring Light-End Dragon, ready to battle for a battle-scarred Dark-End Dragon, "And since a Light-Attribute monster was destroyed in battle I can summon a DARK monster with the same level! I summon (2)(5D's) Curran's Familiar(1/300/0)!" a small and round furball appeared. It had black fur and a pair of rabbit ears (ATK: 300), "And now Pikeru's Familiar special-ability activates, letting me summon 2 more Familiars from my hand or deck!" two more copies of the fallen white scapegoat appeared next to the rabbit-like familiar (ATK: 300x2).
"In that case, I'll activate Machine Assembly Line," Jason's continuous-spell gave R-Genex Turbo 200 ATK points on account of it being a machine-type monster, "Now I end my turn with a face-down. It's your move!"
"And I'll make sure you suffer with it!" Xiki stated as she started her turn, "I activate the spell, Ground Collapse!" Soon after, the floor cracked subsided on the two spots where Jason would put a monster, "As long as Ground Collapse is on the field, tow of your monster-card zone are null-and void! Next, I summon to the field the (3) White Magician Pikeru(3/1200/0)!" a small girl with pink curls appeared. She was wearing a white dress with pink rune-line with a yellow cape with the same design. In her hand was a small wooded staff with a crystal ball perched on top. The hood she wore over her hair was shaped like a golden scapegoat (ATK: 1200), "Curran's Familiar! Attack Jason's rust bucket! Now!"
"What? But Turbo has more ATK points!" Jason exclaimed, "Why attack it?"
The black rabbit-sprite bounced up to its target, but the green mecha just swatted it away, simply vanquishing it.
Jason: 8000
Xiki: 6800
"When Curran's Familiar is destroyed, 2 more are summoned to your field!" two copies of the sprite invaded Jason's field, taking up the rest of his space in the monster-card zone.
"This still doesn't make any sense!"
"You're so smart; you figure it out!" Xiki retorted, "In the meantime, I activate Double Summon and use its effect to summon Pikeru's twin sister, (4) Ebon Magician Curran!" another female appeared next to the white magician. She was the same height as Pikeru. Curran's attire consisted of a gothic-lolita dress with a small black cape and a blue bow-tie. She wore a fuzzy, black, rabbit-eared hood that covered some or her long, dirty-blonde hair. But what would intimidate you it she pink leather whip she had clutched in her hands (ATK: 1200), "Now I pay 4000 life-points to activate Wall of Revealing Light!" a large wall of radiance gave forth around the Twilight Princess. So now monsters with 4000 or less ATK power cannot attack.
Jason: 8000
Xiki: 2800
"Let's see what you can do now that your field is completely occupied!"
"It's my turn," Jason drew, 'Okay; so, my entire monster zone is full and I can't attack to make room for a synchro-summon. So I'll have to rely on my spells. It's not much, but this is all I got for now.' "I place one card face-down," a reverse-card appeared, "That's it for me."
"That's it' is right! Now to show you what happens to those who embarrass Xiki Nomura! It's my turn!" the Twilight Princess then drew her next card, "White Magician Pikeru's special-ability activates! During my standby-phase, she gives me 400 life-points for each monster on my field!" Pikeru's crystal staff flashed and an aura of white light enveloped her master.
Jason: 8000
Xiki: 4400
"Now for Curran's ability! Now she deals 300 points of damage for every monster on the opponent's field! And since you have three monsters, guess what that adds up to!" the black magician reared back her whip and then Jason a small lashing. And that was when Jason heard something click in his metal bindings…
BBZZTTT!
Small surges of electricity coursed into him. The collars actually shocked him!
"What the—Wait! What's—"
"No talking!" Nomura barked as Curran gave the Satellite another lashing.
BBZZTTT!
"Dogs like you, do not talk unless spoken to!" the ebon magician lashed out on Jason one more time.
BBZZTTT!
Jason: 7100
Xiki: 4400
"Now you know what to expect from now on!" Nomura clamored, watching Jason stumble to his knees, "This deck is made especially for Underground Duel. It cripples the opponents' usual strategies and leaves them helpless as I burn their life-points bit by bit! Now during each turn, I gain as many life-points as I want from Pikeru, while Curran will take her sweet time battering you with her special-ability; now you're just like a lapdog being punished for opposing his master!" the Nomura looked over to the readers, "And before you jump to conclusions, no, CFGX is not that kind of person. Back to the duel: since both Pikeru and Curran are both on my field, I can special-summon (5)(5D's) Twilight Arbiter Anastasia(6/ATK: 1000/1000)!" the monster Xixi summoned was no taller than Pikeru or Curran. She wore a beautiful New England-style royal dress, fit for a queen. The hat she wore had a light-blue crystal orb. In her hand she held a long majestic-looking scepter, with the same orb perched on a small golden pedestal (ATK: 1000), "And that would complete my twilight combo! When Anastasia is summoned with no cards in my hand, I can draw 2 new cards!" she added 2 cards to refresh her hand. "Now I place this card face-down and end my turn!" a reverse-card appeared.
"It's my turn," Jason huffed from the electric shocks, and looked at his hand, 'This'll help!' "I activate the spell Mystical Space Typhoon! So it's lights out for your Wall of Revealing Light!"
"I don't think so! I activate Dark Bribe!" Nomura's counter-trap calmed the quick-play's storm, while Jason drew a card, "You'll have to do better than that, Satellite!"
"I'll play a face-down," a reverse-card appeared, "I'm done!"
"Then it's my move!" Nomura started her turn, "And now the special-abilities of my magicians activate! First Pikeru gives me another life-point bonus!" Pikeru gathered energy from the Xiki's other four monsters and added it to her own, then gave it all to her master.
Jason: 7100
Xiki: 6400
"And now my ebon magician gives you another dose of damage! Give him another lashing, Curran!" the black magician gave him another few strikes from her pink whip, granting him another series of electrical shocks.
Jason: 6200
Xiki: 6400
"Now I activate the special-ability Twilight Arbiter! So now you take 200 points of damage for every monster on the field!" Anastasia raised her scepter and then strike a bolt of lightning at Jason, who didn't fare any better from a stronger dose of electricity.
Jason: 4600
Xiki: 6400
"Now I play a card face-down and let you suffer a bit more!" a reverse-card appeared.
'I just don't know how long I can hold out!' Jason grimaced, 'With each hit I take, the closer I get to passing out; or worse!' the Satellite looked over to Nomura's ebon magician, who glared back with her golden, soulless eyes. Curran took her whip and, with a small smile, ran her tongue across the tip. Wait! Did she really just do that? 'I gotta get rid of that Ebon Magician Curran somehow!' "It's my turn!" Jason drew his next card and became relieved with what he got, 'Genex Army! If I release a Genex on my field, I can destroy Xiki's Wall of Revealing light! And my R-Genex Turbo will do just fine!' "Alright, I release Turbo to—"
"I don't think so! I activate my trap!" Nomura revealed her reversed card, and then a large, thorny skull mask appeared, "With Mask of Restrict on my field, nobody's releasing anything! That adds another chain to your deck's bondage!"
Jason groaned, "I end my turn…"
"It's my turn again!" Nomura teased and drew her next card, "Pikeru, you know what to do!" the white magician increased her master's life-points even further…
Jason: 4600
Xiki: 8400
"Curran! Do what you do best!" while the ebon magician gave Jason another lashing, and another dose of electricity.
Jason: 3700
Xiki: 8400
"And not Anastasia's effect activates! But this time I'll let her reward me with a few more life-points!" the arbiter's staff glowed and enveloped Nomura with a veil of golden stardust.
Jason: 3700
Xiki: 10000
"Now I activate the Magical Blast spell card, which dishes out 200 more points of damage for each spellcaster on my field!" Pikeru, Curran, and Anastasia as well, combined their magic and launched a ball of energy at Jason who endured another electrical shock.
Jason: 3100
Xiki: 10000
"Now I end my turn," Nomura said, watching Jason drop to his knees, "Jason, I and sick and I am tired of you useless resistance. Now be a good dog for once in your short miserable life and just give up!"
With every passing second Jason is closer to losing consciousness. Why would she be this angry about some tournament a few days ago? She lost to Jason, yes, but to take it this badly? Where does all this anger come from? He needs an answer, now!
"Xiki, what's happened to you?" Jason asked, "This is a little extreme to get back at someone, don't you think?"
"You know goddamn well what this is about!" Nomura snapped, "I'm supposed the Twilight Princess! I supposed to be the most feared among the Underground Duelists! But you have to butt in and ruin my title!"
"I know that's not it." Jason stated, "It's not about some card game and it's not about some title, and you know that. …Look, I can tell you're in a lot of pain. And you're taking that pain out on other people, like you did to Rico at the Fortune Cup…"
Flashback…
Rico knelt to the cold floor as his cards spilled all around him. The first card he saw was his Scrap Dragon. But at the very moment he picked it up, it was snatch away, by none other than Xiki Nomura, "Hey, that's mine! Why'd you do that?"
"That's for making me use Twilight Dragon," Nomura said without remorse, "I didn't need it to beat a hasty-paced wannabe like you, but you wanted to prove how great you were because of your little Scrap Dragon. Well here's a newsflash for you, genius: it's puny and weak! And so are you!"
Rico hung his head low, with tears ready to fall.
"You think you're so skillful. You don't even deserve to be a duelist, let alone be in the same stadium with me. So do us all a favor: go back to playing with your tinker-toys and quit dueling while you know what's good for you. And most importantly, stay out of my way!" Nomura slipped the card into her jacket, "Now if you would excuse me, I have another match to get ready for," she then walked out of the arena, leaving Rico alone.
…End Flashback.
"What you did then was wrong. And that's why I had to step in to set things right…"
Flashback…
It's time to bust out my trump card! Go, Wheelie Breaker!" Jason's third and final speed spell shows a massive dragster-bike speeding past other people, the wind tossing them aside as the motorcycle sped by. Jason revved his own runner, accelerating top speed to bypass Speed World's limits, "By removing 6 speed counters, all monster on your side of the field are instantly 'road-raged'!" he skied to a halt and without a moment to waste, shifted into the other direction and drove directly at the chaos sphere, boring through it as he passed.
"Nobody likes a critic, Hutchins!" Nomura shouted.
Turning his runner 90 degrees, Jason gave order for the final blow, "Colossal Fighter, Fortress Warrior, and Seven Swords Warrior, end this!" side by side, by side, the three warriors rushed in for the kill. In one massive strike, Nomura's life points were completely vanquished.
Jason: 1300 (8)
Xiki: 0 (7) (16)
"Dammit..." Xiki stood in place of her malfunctioned duel-runner, her head hung low over the console, "If I had have held out for just a little longer, my Twilight Shield would've finished him. My reputation is ruined..."
Jason rode over to Xiki. He dismounted his runner and approached the Twilight Duelist, removing his helmet, "Thanks for the duel, Xiki. I had to admit, you really had me on the ropes. I don't think I ever had a duel in a long time," Jason waited for his opponent to say something, but received no response, "C'mon, Xiki. It's only one loss. It's nothing to be upset about. ...Xiki" he tried to pat his hand on the girl's shoulder, which just proved to be a big mistake, because she fiercely swatted Jason's hand away.
"Keep your grimy hand off me! I don't need your pity!" Xiki Nomura shot him a menacing glare, and stunningly, a flowing river of tears, "You'll probably have a good laugh about this later on, aren't you? So just get it over with!"
"Xiki..." Jason, not used to seeing someone this upset, whether or not they're a hardcore delinquent, felt pity for the girl, "Xiki, I didn't mean to get you upset-"
"You won the match! You go to the finals! You get your stupid card back! You get to move on through the fortune cup! There's nothing else to say, now leave me alone!" Nomura rustled through her coat and took out the Scrap Dragon, which she tossed to Jason for him to catch. Without anything else to say, Jason took one last glance at the wallowing woman before leaving the track.
…End Flashback.
"Everything I did then was for the sake of a friend. I would do anything for my friends. You don't have to hide it anymore. I can help you too, if only you can let me. Xiki, please…"
"SHUT UP!" the Twilight Princess screeched, her hand covering her ears, "I don't want your help! I don't need your help! I'm not gonna roll over for you just so you can toss me away again so shut up! Just shut up!"
'I hope I could get through to you, Xiki! But If that's the way it's gonna be…' "Then I draw!" Jason started his next turn, "I place one card face-down!" a reverse-card appeared, 'I just need this one chance to break that combo!'
"I am going to chew you up and spit you out, Satellite!" Xiki had lost all composure by now; from then on, she is now a fierce predator. Words will do nothing now. "I activate the effect of the Magical Blast in my graveyard! Now I add it to my hand to replace the card I'd draw from my deck!" Nomura's spell was added to her hand, "Pikeru's effect now gives me 2000 more life points!"
Jason: 3100
Xiki: 12000
"Curran! Give him another beating! I want him crippled, inside and out!" the black magician couldn't be happier. And with three more beatings she triggered Jason's collars once again.
Jason: 2200
Xiki: 12000
"Anastasia! Make that Satellite suffer! NOW!" Anastasia summoned another lightning bolt, and allowed more electricity to surge through Jason.
Jason: 600
Xiki: 12000
"Now I activate Magical Blast! Now you take 600 more points of damage! Say goodbye!" the magicians fired one more attack at the hindering duelist. As soon as it connected, one last shock erupted from the collars. That last hit broke him, as he collapsed to the floor.
"And stay down, Satellite!"
But that doesn't mean I was the end, because with little strength he had, Jason rose up from the ground. He was still in immense pain, but he was conscious nonetheless.
"What?" the Twilight Princess flabbergasted, "No! You had 600 life-points left! You shouldn't have been able to get up after that! It's over!" but then she spotted a trap card near Jason, and then her eyes widened, "Life Equalizer?"
"That's right," Jason heaved, "Before you had cast Magical Blast, I activated Life Equalizer, which altered our life-points to 3000 each. That way, I had enough life-points to spare."
Jason: 3000
Xiki: 3000
That proved to infuriate Xiki, "So what? You can't attack with my wall on this field! And you can't summon any more monsters! It's over!"
"It's not over until the last card is played…" Jason started his turn and drew his next card, "Now to make a comeback! I activate the face-down I played last turn!" his revered card was revealed, showing a highly-technological windmill, "The trap card Windmill Cyclone! It activates by releasing a Wind-Attribute Genex monster, like R-Genex Turbo! Then I can target 2 cards in your spell/trap zone and return them to your hand!" Turbo dismembered himself and took on a new form: a hi-tech windmill. Its blades propelled at high speeds, creating a strong cyclone that blew away Ground Collapse and Wall of Mask of Restrict. Nomura snarled as she had to add them back to her hand, "I summon Genex Controller to the field in ATK mode," Jason's favored tuner appeared (ATK: 1400), "And now that a Genex is on my field, I special-summon Omni Genex!" the multicolored shield hovered above the controller (ATK: 1000), "And now I tune Omni with Controller, to synchro-summon Genex Dragon!" Omni Genex separated into five gates and surrounded Genex Controller. The rings gyrated as Jason chanted:
"Divested stars form into a hidden world of power! Become the new vessel to venture the new frontier! Synchro-Summon! Genex Dragon, Accelerate! "
The mechanical dragon arrived, intermixed with the elements of fire, water, earth, and wind (ATK: 2800-3400/2400), "And now for the special abilities of my dragon. Listen up, 'cause this is gonna be a mouthful: with each attribute a non-tuner monster used to summon him has, Genex Dragon gains one of four effects. And since Omni Genex has the attributes of fire, water, earth, and wind, he gets a full house! First the power of WATER negate any type of card of choose! So your Wall of Revealing Light is rendered useless!" the bright wall around Nomura blown out, "But maybe we're better off without them on the field at all. So I'll activate the ability the element of WIND grants. Now by discarding 2 cards from my hand, both your traps are returned to your hand!" Genex summoned a massive tsunami and swept away the rest of Nomura's trap cards, "And with the power of EARTH, one of your monster's ATK and DEF points are cut in half!" Genex Dragon stomped the ground and caused a massive earthquake which caused the three spellcasters to trip over themselves.
Twilight Arbiter Anastasia: (ATK: 500/DEF: 500)
"Time for battle! Genex Dragon, attack Twilight Arbiter Anastasia!" the dragon fired a beam of multicolored energy, which disintegrated on contact.
Jason: 3000
Xiki: 100

Jason: 3000
Xiki: 0

Smoke then erupted from the capsules and forced everyone inside the room to run out, worrying about inhaling its possibly dangerous chemicals. Sirens were faintly heard from outside. Sector Security must have caught wind of this illegal sport that is Underground Dueling. Jason was having trouble with his breathing, coughing without control. His eyes stung by the smoke. Between the tear-gas and the many shocks he endured in his duel, he now stood no chance as he collapsed to the floor. The last thing he saw after passing out was a head of short blonde hair, and a criminal mark beneath her right eye…
