(CFGX: Whew! This is the first chapter with over 10.000 words; way longer than I expected! Hope you like it, y'all!)
As this forth and final part of this four-part chapter, we begin starting with the duel between Dark Signer Carly vs. the leader of the Arcadia Movement Sayer. Enjoy…
Carly: 4000
Sayer: 4000
"I'll teach you not to mess with me!" Sayer started the match and drew his sixth card, "Now watch, and learn! I summon Krebons, in ATK mode!" the psychic harlequin appeared in front of him on the field (ATK: 1200), "Next I'll play the quick-play Emergency Teleport; let's see if the new-and-improved Carly can handle this card. With this spell, I get to summon a psychic monster. And to keep things interesting, I get to grab him from anywhere in my deck! Meet, Mind Protector!" the golden-plated mobile brain was summoned next to Krebons (DEF: 2200), "And with Krebons out on my field, well, let's just say this match won't get better for you! Krebons is going to tune Mind Protector into a monster that'll make the end of our last duel seem like a fond memory!" Krebons disappeared into two synchro-gates and surrounded its defensive companion, engulfing its three into the column of light. All the while Sayer chanted:
"My flames of hatred, inflamed within the abyss of my heart, become the black raging waves that overrun this world. Synchro Summon! (9) Magical Android(2400/1700)."
The light died down and the two psychics became one. The Magical Android was a beautiful…no, dazzling, red-headed young woman in white robes with golden circuitry symbols decorated across her dress. Being an android herself, gold circuits run across her flawless skin as well. In her hands she was armed with a strange staff and shield (ATK: 2400), "I know that I can't attack on my first turn, but I'm afraid that not even your Dark Signer powers can stop her special ability! At the end of each one of my turns, guess what I get: 600 life-points for every single psychic monster out on my field! And why don't we get to the good stuff right away? I think I'll end my turn now and reap my reward!" and at cue of the end-phase, the magician raised her staff and a shower of golden motes sprinkled down on the psychic duelist.
Carly: 4000
Sayer: 4600
"Let's see these Dark Signer powers."
"Careful what you ask for!" Carly stated as she drew her sixth card, "I'll start with this little field-spell. It's quite the revealing card. I play…Future Visions!" As soon as the dark duelist inserted her spell, the field was veiled with little points of light, as though they were standing in a cloud of stars that have come to sit in the dark office, lighting it up with starlight.
"That's quite the trick," Sayer mused.
"Just wait. You see, like it or not, I know your fate, clear as night."
"Well, Dark Signer or not, Miss Carly, you're the same: that Fortune Deck still can't win," Sayer detracted, "New clothes, some purple lighting… but tell me where all this special magic power makes you duel better. You're still the same failed reporter who couldn't blog her way onto a fan-site for Jack Atlas!"
"Well that wannabe no longer exists. Why report on the past when you can dictate the future? And this card says that your future's not so bright…" A flare of light erupted before her, forming into a young blonde woman, wearing a revealing black leather costume and stockings under a golden yellow halter top and skirt. Bat-like wings extended out from her golden hair, and she wielded a long staff adorned with a crescent blade, crowned by a golden sun, and an eye symbol glowed brightly from her forehead, "With (10) Fortune Lady Light(1/ATK: ?/DEF: ?) on my field, she gets stronger with every round. You see, for each standby phase she's here, she actually gains one more level. That's 200 more ATK points, 200 more DEF points, and 200 more ways to beat you each and every round!"
Fortune Lady Light: (Lv: 3/ATK: 200/DEF: 200)
"But why stop there, when I can activate my field-spell Fortune Visions! I can use its power to send Fortune Lady Light into the future!" Light waved to her opponent, and then vanished with a slice of her scythe, "Now… it's time for the real fun to begin!"
"You mean, for me," Sayer said, "Your field's open to any attack I choose! Tell me again why the Dark Signers picked you?"
"What can I say? They like revenge stories," Carly sneered, "Now, Fortune Lady Light's ability is automatically activated! You see, as soon as she's banished by a card effect, I can summon a new Fortune Lady from anywhere in my deck! I choose, (11) Fortune Lady Fire(2/ATK: ?/DEF: ?)! And since she's already a level-two monster, her ATK points increase to 400! And then the power of her special-ability can—"
"Why bother with such a pathetic card? I think our last battle is starting to take its toll. That monster of yours is no match for the strength of my Magical Android."
"Where are your manners? You should let a lady finish talking before mouthing off! I activate Lady Fire's special-ability! As soon as she's summoned, one of your monsters is automatically destroyed! And there's more, dear Sayer. Unfortunately, all of the points of the monster you just lost turn to damage."
"You can't!"
"I can and I will, now watch and learn! Destroy Magical Android!" Lady Fire blasted a super-dense sphere of fire from her staff, reducing the Magical Android to ashes and smashing Sayer against the edge of the window he had previously sent Carly flying out of. Carly chuckled a little as Sayer stayed down, winded.
Carly: 4000
Sayer: 2200
"I've n-never felt an attack like that...!" Sayer groaned, "That energy just now is unlike anything I've faced before...!"
"You know why? The power of the shadows is limitless," Carly said.
Sayer got up again, clenching his teeth. He figured, if they're going to play rough, he's game, "Well, Carly... so is mine!"
"Your power pales in comparison to that of the Dark Signers. Fortune Lady Fire, attack him directly!" And Sayer was blasted against the wall and fell to the floor again, trembling.
Carly: 4000
Sayer: 1800
"Now that you've had a taste of my power, I'll end my turn with a face-down!" a reverse-card appeared in front of the Dark Signer, "Unless you do something and quick, I'm afraid that you're going to lose our little duel, and end up…in the netherworld!"

Reverse of Arcadia
Ride 19: Digging Deeper
Part 4: Darkness Rise
Meanwhile…
After the earthquake, Tanner and Yanagi came to after they were thrown to the ground from the shaking, covered in shattered light-bulb glass.
"Gramps," Tanner groaned, "you okay?"
"Well, guess that kinda depends: we still locked up in some underground basement?"
" I guess so. But that aftershock gave me an idea on gettin' outta here," Bolt approached the door and fidgeted with the knob, "It mighta loosened the whole foundation." After a couple of butts, Tanner managed to ram the door from its hinges.
"Yes! That's using your head!" Yanagi praised.
"Easy. And now all we gotta do is find the kids before this building comes down!"
Divine dusted the remaining debris off his shirt, before staring down hard at Gabriella.
"It's time, Divine."
"Time for what?" Divine managed to growl.
Gabriella giggled, "Time for your trip to the Netherworld, of course! Y'know, looking at how you duel lately, your skills is just too predictable. It's a wonder why I even held back."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Divine reactivate his duel-disk for another duel, "Let's see where this new dark power got you."
"Ah! I just knew you couldn't stay away!" the Dark Signer's own disk activated, the card panel sliding round from the back of it and expanding to reveal the full panel.
Both their decks shuffled in the disks' slots, and they drew their opening hands.
Gabriella: 4000
Divine: 4000
"Ladies first," Gabriella drew her sixth card, "Time to show you what the shadows are really made of. And to start things off, I activate the field-spell, Darkness Paradiso," as the Dark Signer played her field-spell card, the area around the two duelist became shrouded in a veil of magenta colored haze, the outside world now concealed, "I send one card from my hand to the graveyard to special-summon (5D's)(1) Lustsworn Caterpii(1/ATK: 300/DEF: 200)," a dark-purple sphere appeared from a blue portal. Looking closer inside it, Divine could vaguely see a silhouette of a small human infant with a small mat of hair, except that human seemed to have its bottom half replaced with an ample, worm-like appendage. The baby was asleep and curled in a ball, the sphere it was inside seeming to incubate it (DEF: 200), "Such a cutie, I know. But as they say, you should never leave a baby unattended. So I'll summon (5D's)(2) Lustsworn Gardna(2/ATK: 0/DEF: 650) to keep her company," the next monster Gabriella summon appeared as a young girl. She wore a pitch-black tunic with blue lines around the edges. She had a mop of sky-blue hair and blue eyes that were as dark as the night. A round blue shield was perched atop of her head. A pair of small bat wings can be seen sticking out from her back (ATK: 0), "Finally, I place a card face-down," a reverse-card appeared, "It's your move, Divine."
"You should have stated down," Divine started his turn, "I'll start by playing the Teleport. With the power of this continuous-spell, when my field's empty I can summon a psychic onto the field with a small price of 800 life-points. I summon Mind Protector in DEF mode," the golden-armored android appeared (DEF: 2200).
Gabriella: 4000
Divine: 3200
"And with Mind Protector on my field, I can summon Armored Axon Kicker directly from my hand," the black-and-emerald-armored psychic appeared (ATK: 2200), "Now attack! Destroy that Lustsworn Caterpii!" dark psionic energy wrapped around Axon's hands.
"I play a face-down; the trap known as (5D's) Wraith Fragrance," Gabriella activated one of her reverses, depicting a rage-altered beast, about to pounce on a defenseless young woman, "And once activated this card becomes and equip-card for my Gardna. This is where things get interesting," small zephyrs began to move against the monster's tunic, a bright-orange mist coming out from underneath and across the field. As soon as the smoke wandered around Armored Axon Kicker, its visor glowed the same color. Then, at a battle-cry, the monster emitted powerful bolts of psychic energy at Lustsworn Gardna, who grabbed her shield and protected herself, "You see, with the power of this trap, Gardna can secret a special fragrance which fills any battling monster with rage; so all monsters in ATK mode must attack, like it or not. That, of course, excepts my Lustsworns. And as for Gardna's special-ability, she can be immune to destruction from the first monster she battles. But after the damage-step in which her ability activated, I have to discard one card from my hand," Gabriella discarded one of her cards, "And here's where the effect of Darkness Paradisio resolves: when any of my cards are sent to the grave from a card effect, a Soul Counter appears on my field," then a glowing blue orb appeared, hovering around the field.
"That was a lucky shot," Divine set two cards into his disk and concluded, "But I'll run out sooner or later."
"But with the effect of (5D's)(6) Lustsworn Jar(2/ATK: 700/DEF: 600) in my graveyard, my luck will just keep on coming," a small clay jar appeared over Gabriella. Pink smoke came out and revealed a super-deformed, young, rose-haired woman in pink Arabia attire and small bat-like wings. The genie soon disappeared just as quick, "Because she was discarded from my hand this turn thanks to Lustsworn Gardna's effect, both of us have to toss away all our cards and draw four new ones," Divine discarded his only card to the graveyard and drew four new cards.
"It's my turn again," Gabriella teased as she drew her next card, "And I summon (5D's)(3) Lustsworn Sword(3/900/100) in ATK mode!" another young girl appeared; her long red hair was tied up in a ponytail, with her armor as red as it was. In her hands she held a large curved sword. Just like Gardna, this monster also had red and black eyes and small bat wings, "And next I play the Offerings to the Doomed spell card. I'm sure you know what this does: by discarding one card from my hand, I can destroy one monster on the field. And I choose your Mind Protector!" the psychic defender was wrapped in bandages before it sunk into the ground, "And now, Lustsworn Sword attacks Armored Axon Kicker!" the small warrior flew in with her giant sword in tow.
"I think some of this fog's seeped into your brain!" Divine laughed, "My monster's clearly more powerful than yours!"
"O sweet, ignorant Divine," the Dark Signer signed, "Haven't you learned by now? Never judge a book by its cover," Lustsworn Sword swung her massive weapon with ease. And after an instant, the armored psychic began to slide apart in pieces before exploding."
"What? But how—"
"The special ability of my Lustsworn Sword, that's how. Because at the start of the damage-step, this loyal knight destroys the monster she battles, without the hassle of damage-calculation. That also means I have to send one card from my hand at the end of the damage-step. But that also means that I get another Soul Counter thanks to Darkness Paradisio's effect." Another floating orb appeared (SC: 2), "Now I play the spell Graceful Charity, allowing me to draw three cards, in exchange for discarding two; after which I gain two more Soul Counters (SC: 3). Finally I place two cards face-down and go straight to the end-phase, where the real fun begins! In case you haven't realized by now, most of my Lustsworns activate in the grave during the end-phase. First, my (5D's)(4) Lustsworn Witch(2/ATK: 0/DEF: 800) destroys one card in your spell/trap card zone," another super-deformed girl appeared as a red-fitted, blonde sorceress sitting upon her skull-ornamented. Pointing out one index finger, she zapped Divine's Teleport spell. She then disappeared, "Then comes (5D's)(5) Lustsworn Nurturer(2/ATK: 400/DEF: 400), which gives me a grand in life-points." this tiny Lustsworn wore a pair of baggy cow-printed overalls. She had white hair with cow-like ears of the same color, as well as a pair of horns on her head, and a golden cowbell strapped around her neck. As super-deformed as the others however, she had the large bosom of an average woman, which really supports the appearance of this monster. After she vanished, she left a rain of stardust which sprinkled over her master.
Gabriella: 5000
Divine: 3200
"And finally, the effect of Darkness Paradisio. For every Soul Counter, I gain 300 life-points."
Gabriella: 5900
Divine: 3200
"In case you forgotten, I can escalate my life-points to. I play the trap, Metaphysical Regeneration!" Divine flipped his reverse-card, "This gives me 1000 life-points for each psychic sent to my graveyard this turn! You see, no one could gain more life-points that me!"
Gabriella: 5000
Divine: 5200
"It's my turn now!" Divine hastily drew his next card, "First, I summon another Mind Protector! Then I activate my face-down Psychic Tuning trap, and equip it to the Armored Axon Kicker from my graveyard as a tuner!" next to the gold android, the armored psychic was resurrected with a lime-green aura (ATK: 2200), "And now I tune Mind Protector with Axon to synchro-summon Hyper Psychic Blaster!" the two psychic flew up and surrounded Divine in the synchro-jet as he chanted:
"Stars of verlism, unite as one! Unlock the gate of cyberspace to uncover the arms, and array me with the rods of destruction! Synchro-Summon! From the depths of the cyber world, enter Hyper Psychic Blaster!"
Divine was once again equipped in his sleek, silver armor (ATK: 3000). Unfortunately, he takes damage from Psychic Tuning's effect.
Gabriella: 5000
Divine: 2800
"I may not be able to take out you monster, but I can take out a major piece of your life-points!" the armored psychic pointed his black barrel at Lustsworn Gardna, his voice poisoned with anger, possibly from the allure of Gabriella's Wraith Fragrance trap, "Let's see the power of the shadows stop this!" Divine pulled the trigger and fired. And just like before, the gardna endured with her shield. But the result was somewhat confusing.
Gabriella: 7350
Divine: 2800
"Sorry sweetie, but before you pulled out that gun of yours, I activated my two face-downs," Gabriella played her two reverses, one which depicted a dimensional montage; on half shows a field of sharp rocks and thorny plants over a storming sky, the other had a lush grassy plain over a clear blue sky, "I was so lucky to get this (5D's) Burn to Bliss trap. Because once per turn, I can negate all battle-damage from a skirmish and turn it into more life-points for me to take. You, in the meanwhile, would reap the benefit from your own card-effect.
Gabriella: 7350
Divine: 5150
"I place a card face-down," Divine growled, "That's my turn!"
"Ooh, someone has a temper," Gabriella teased as she started her next turn, "And now it's time for my little Caterpii for her, how do you say, Coming of Age." The purple orb glowed and then brightly obscured Divine's vision. When the light died, the small egg was replaced by a cocoon. The shell pulsed like a heartbeat. Suddenly, something tore through the thick veil as a hardened appendage ripped through it, followed by another arm, then ahead. Pretty soon, a humanoid figure rose from her shell.
The woman's limbs were protected by dark-blue shells of armor, all connected by an organic membrane of some sort, giving her an insect-like appearance. She wore a small violet top held my claw-like appendages. Violet fur snuggled upon her biceps just above her bare shoulders. The large black thorax was grown below her back. Any part of her lower body that was not covered in a shell was fit snugly with a thin, dark-purple fabric. A pair of antennae stuck out through her lilac hair which was well-kept and was sprayed past her shoulders. Blooming from her back was a large pair of violet insectoid wings. Her black, amber eyes gave this person an insatiable expression. Finally, crested atop of her to, right over her chest rests a small black badge, holding a yellow marking symbolizing the Olympian spirit symbol Hagith.
"It's time you met a new friend of mine," Gabriella hummed, "Say hello to (5D's)(7) Lustsworn Herald of Gluttony-Beelzebub(7/2600/1800)."
In the meantime, yet another duel is about to go underway, as Akiza Izinski and Misty Tredwell face-off.
"If I can't make you reveal my brother's fate, my deck will!" the model-turned-dark-signer threatened, "I need to know what you and the Arcadia Movement did, Akiza!"
"I don't know how else to say it, but the Arcadia Movement wouldn't hurt or hide anyone! It's only here to help! But if you want to duel, then I think I should at least defend myself!" Akiza pressed against a panel on the wall. It opened, and her Duel Disk slid from it, the Signer then sliding it onto her arm, "After all, this is my home. And I'm not gonna let some Dark Signer push me around in my own place!"
Misty activated her own black disk and drew her starting hand. The Dark Signer then noticed a small boy still clinging to Akiza's corset, "You have quite a cute kid there. It makes me wonder how someone such as him could hold his own against one of my drones."
"So it was you…" Akiza deducted, remembering Rico's match against the Shadow Drone that night.
"Of course, I originally intended to use her against you. But due to his interference, it seems I'll have to deal with you myself. So, are you up to it?"
"I say bring it!"
"LET'S DO THIS!"
Akiza: 4000
Misty: 4000
"I'm first!" Akiza drew her sixth card, "And I summon Twilight Rose Knight!" The black-armored knight appeared before her, raising her sword (ATK: 1000), "And lucky for me, I can use her special ability as soon as she's summoned! So now, I can add a level-four-or-below plant-type monster from my hand, and summon it directly to my field. And I think I'll bring out…Lord Poison!" Akiza continued, playing another monster card that unleashed the thorny, bark-skinned creature (ATK: 1500), "And now I'd like to invite you to witness the royal engagement of my Rose Knight and Lord Poison!" Twilight Rose Knight brandished her sword and flung three stars toward Lord Poison; they swirl around into four synchro-gates, aligning with Lord Poison. Meanwhile, Akiza chanted:
"Chilling flames engulf the entire world. Pitch-dark flower, set into bloom! Synchro Summon!"
"Black Rose Dragon, welcome to the game!" the large crimson dragon rose from the red-pink synchro-jet, letting out a massive roar (ATK: 2400).
"Impressive," Misty scoffed, "Wielding a powerful beast like that is a testament to why you were chosen to be a Signer. I wonder if your calling was similar to mine…?"
Flashback…
4 Years Ago…
"Her vitals are dropping, doctor!"
"We have to get her to the emergency room!"
Misty was lying on a gurney as she was being wheeled somewhere in a hurry.
"I knew I had one reason to stay alive," Misty explained, "I had to find my brother, and take revenge on those who took him from me! So I made a deal…"
She remembered how an unknown darkness entered her, answering her plea…
…End Flashback.
"And now, the power of the shadows has given me a new lease on life, and a chance to finally discover the truth! And once you tell me what I want to know, the shadows will envelop you and your deck."
"Well these three face-downs are going to put a stop to that plan!" three reverses appeared, "Your turn!"
"Then I draw," Misty started her turn, "I activate the field-spell, Savage Colosseum." As she entered in the spell card, the walls in the central empty column area were suddenly lined with columned doorways and intricate carvings, "Now as long as this card's in play, every monster that's in ATK mode actually has to attack. Not only that, for as long as this card's in play, I get 300 additional life-points every time a monster battles! And to keep things safe, I'll be activating another spell card," Misty played a continuous-spell, "thanks to the effect of my Field Barrier, you can't counter my Colosseum, and no other field-spell can replace the one I already have in play!"
'This piece of ancient architecture might just turn me into history...!' Akiza grimaced.
"Now I'll summon out my (8) Reptilianne Gorgon(3/ATK: 1400/DEF: 1400)!" Venomous green energy flashed before her, coalescing into a hideous woman, with the trunk of a snake, scales forming her skin, three serpent heads crowning her skull through her hair. A dark purple dress coated her body down to her waist. Rico hid against Akiza's skirt in fright as the Gorgon let out a serpentine hiss (ATK: 1400), "Next up I activate another permanent-spell, Attack Pheromone. And now, when my Reptilianne attacks your monsters, they can't simply hide in DEF mode. This card switches them to ATK mode whether you like it or not! Now you know how it feels to be in a powerless situation, just like I've been all these years as I struggled to find out what happened to my brother! And this next card should help drive that sentiment home! I equip Molting Escape on Reptile Gorgon!" the model slaps one more spell into her disk, "Now my monster's practically invincible. Once a turn, she can't be destroyed in battle, no matter how strong your monster is. Not only that, but every time I use this equip-effect, Reptilianne Gorgon gains an extra 300 ATK points. Now let's see how all these spells play out; Reptilianne Gorgon, attack!"
"Hold on! I think the Dark Signers left you a couple cards short of a deck!" Akiza declared, "Even with all those spells, you still don't have a chance against my Black Rose Dragon!"
Gorgon zapped yellow lightning at Rose Dragon, and Akiza's beast retaliates with a full-throated gust of pink-violet flame.
Akiza: 4000
Misty: 3000
"And now, thanks to my Molting Escape equip-spell, Gorgon lives," Misty smiled, "Not only that, but she gets those extra 300 ATK points I mentioned, evening the playing field just a little bit more!"
Reptilianne Gorgon: (ATK: 1700)
'I don't get it," Akiza blinked, 'All those spells and combos just to add 300 ATK points? What's her real plan?'
"There's one more thing. I haven't yet talked about Gorgon's special-ability."
"What's it do? ...Huh?" Akiza then gasped in shock as she looked at her Dragon, which had been petrified to solid stone (ATK: 0), "What have you done to my dragon, Misty?"
"Let's just say she's resting for now," Misty smirked, "You see, Gorgon's special-ability 'petrifies' her mode, I'm afraid. So she can't defend you or attack, since all of her power has been neutralized."
"You can't do that!"
"Yes I can. And I did. Now, if you'll excuse me for just this one moment, I'll enjoy my field-spell's effect. I get 300 life-points because I attacked you this round." A green aura encircled the model.
Akiza: 4000
Misty: 3300
"You can never beat me; be smart and talk. Tell me what you know about my only brother's fate… and I promise I'll make your defeat quick and painless. So what's your decision?"
"I told you already! I don't know what happened!" Akiza declared.
"I see. Then that leaves me no choice. You know your friends Divine and Sayer? I'm afraid they're about to lose their shadow duel. And so are you!"
Meanwhile, David was still trekking across the halls of the Arcadia Movement. And still recovering from the recent earthquake moments ago, he figured he should leave as soon as possible; but not without Mana.
Suddenly, a black figure appeared behind him from a nearby corner. Reaching out from its cloak, it pulled out a small, decorated wand. Soon, a dark aura was channeled through it as it fired a bolt of dark magic and struck David. It waited behind the corner as it watched David endure the wicked force inflicted upon him.
Its target paralyzed, the cloaked figure approached David. It glared at the Magician Duelist with cold silver eyes before picking him up and disappearing in a cloud of pitch-black smoke…
Meanwhile, Divine slightly cowered behind his helmet at the appearance of Gabriella's new monster.
"Let's get straight to the chase, shall we?" Gabriella said, "You see, Lustsworn Caterpii may be a weak monster, but wait until my third standby-phase and she grows up to be the Lord of Flies she is now."
"But—"
"I know, I know; it's only two turns since she's on the field. But that's what my other trap was for. You see, I was so impatient on showing off my new monsters that I played with the Pyro Clock of Destiny when I activated Burn to Bliss last turn, so Beelzebub can be summoned one turn sooner. And now that the meet-and-greet's out of the way, on with the duel, shall we? But first, I think I'll play the Card of Demise spell," Gabriella drew five cards; and when she drew the fifth, her eyes lit up with sinister delight, "Just the card I'm looking for! I activate the trap, Gluttony Fragrance directly from my hand!" she slotted the card into her black duel-disk.
"But you can't activate traps from your hand!"
"I can if I have Beelzebub on my field," the insectoid's wings began to release clouds of golden pollen from her wings as they fluttered rapidly and lifted her off her feet, "And by the way, every time she attacks, not only do I have to sacrifice a monster; Beelzebub gains power equal to that monster's ATK point, so long as said monster has 1000 points or less. Sorry, Lustsworn Sword, but Bee can't fight on an empty stomach." After the young swordsman vanished, a black wormhole appeared in front of Beelzebub's abdomen.
Lustsworn Herald of Gluttony-Greed: (ATK: 3500)
Despite its size, however, Divine had to brace its rather strong pull, until his armor broke right off of him and was sucked right into the hole. When the vortex disappeared, Beelzebub let out a small belch before blushing slightly.
Gabriella: 7350
Divine: 4650
"And thanks to one of the effects of Gluttony Fragrance, I get life-points equal to the original ATK of the monster Bee destroyed."
Gabriella: 10350
Divine: 4650
"I place a couple of card face-down," two reverse-cards appeared, "Oh, and by the way, as long as your monsters are breathing in this Gluttony Fragrance, they have to feed on a weaker monster."
Divine soon became irritated. A few minutes ago, Gabriella just a weak woman clinging to his beloved Jason. And now she is actually holding her own against him. Him of all people. Divine prides himself to be the most powerful Psychic Duelist, second to none other than Sayer himself. He grimaced on what Sayer would say if he was defeated by some weakling. He was not going to have it. Dark Signer or not, this woman is not going to take his pride. This has to stop.
"It's my turn!" Divine drew his next card, "I activate my face-down Call of the Haunted to return Hyper Psychic Blaster to my field!" Divine's armor equipped itself back onto his body (ATK: 3000); afterwards, he wasted no time venting some of his anger out on the Gardna.
Gabriella: 12700
Divine: 4650
"Now I place three cards face-down!" three reverses appeared, 'Just try and attack me. My field is just perfect; as soon as you send out your monster, I'll have Draining Shield, Magical Cylinder and Mirror Force ready!' "It's you move!"
"You're still resisting, Divine?" Gabriella purred, combing her long hair with her hand, "…I guess it's time to stop playing around. It's my turn," the Dark Signer drew her next card, "Remember the face-downs I set last turn? I play Foolish Revival, which allows me to bring back one of your monsters onto your field. And the monster I choose is your Hyper Psychic Blaster!" the blaster returned to the field; but this time, the monster itself was separate from its master, "Next, my other face-down; and this one will really blow you away!" suddenly, a massive whirlwind picked up and surrounded the field, whisking away every spell and trap card, including Divine's possible keys to victory, "With (5D's) Fragrance Storm, all cards in the spell/trap zone are destroyed. And as a bonus, I get to draw one card for every Fragrance Card," she drew two cards from her deck, "And next, I activate the spell, Mind Control. This lets me take control of any one of your monsters, and I think I'll take you're Hyper Psychic Blaster, thank you," the monster disappeared, and then reappeared on Gabriella's side; Divine was speechless.
"How dare you," he snarled.
"Oh yes, how dare I. And now, this is where it all ends… I activate my final card! The spell, (5D's) Glutton for Power! Beelzebub may now be the only monster allowed to attack this turn, but now I absorb you're monster's spirit into her, granting her that monster's ATK points!" Hyper Psychic Blaster was then being consumed by a black venus flytrap, which suddenly appeared under its feet. All that was left of Divine's monster was its Cyber Piercer weapon.
Lustsworn Herald of Gluttony-Greed: (ATK: 6500)
Divine flabbergasted; the very sight of his own monster being treated as food for that…that thing disgusted him...
Meanwhile…
"It's over for you, Akiza," Misty menaced, "You won't be able to hide behind the Arcadia Movement for much longer."
"What're you talking about?"
"As we speak, your precious Movement are dueling a few friends of mine, and let's just say that, like you, they don't stand a chance of winning his duel! So…are you ready to tell me what happened to my brother?"
"I don't know your brother!" Akiza argued, drawing her next card.
"Fine, then, be the way. I'll get the answers I want sooner or later! And with your dragon's power reduced to nothing, I'll know the truth in no time. And to hurry things along, I'll activate the power of my Savage Colosseum spell, which forces our monsters to battle. And with zero attack points, your Black Rose Dragon doesn't stand a chance. Now prepare yourself, Akiza; Reptilianne Gorgon is about to obliterate your beast!" The stone dragon was unable to move, and Reptilianne Gorgon shattered it with a single punch, Akiza shielding her eyes from the flying debris.
Akiza: 2300
Misty: 3300
"My mark..." Akiza noticed her Mark of the Dragon tingling, "it's trying to tell me something. But what?"
It's telling you to be very afraid, of the Dark Signers' power." Misty chuckled.
"I don't understand all this! Why are you so convinced I did something to your brother?"
"Because the last time I saw him he was going on and on about someone, and that someone was you!" the Dark Signer declared, "That's right! He couldn't stop talking about you and how he just had to meet you! Now unless you're going to prolong your suffering, give me the answers I want!"
Akiza: 2600
Misty: 3300
"Listen, Misty, I'd tell you something if I knew something but I don't," Akiza said, "So I guess this duel's full steam ahead. And now that I've got your Colosseum's power boost, I'll activate the Synchro Spirits trap, which lets me remove a synchro monster in my graveyard from play, and then re-summon the monsters I originally used to synchro-summon it! So by removing Black Rose Dragon from play, I can summon both Twilight Rose Knight and Lord Poison back to the field in ATK mode," the grey-haired knight and the tree bark monster returned to the field, in a battle stance (ATK: 1000)(ATK: 1500), "And then I'll activate this: the Dimension Reversion trap card, which returns every monster I removed from play to my deck," she then took her synchro-monster from her pocket and placed it back into the extra-deck spot in her duel-disk, "Black Rose Dragon is back, ready, and waiting."
"Excellent. Now go ahead and bring your beloved Black Rose Dragon back to the field; I'd be more than happy to destroy it a second time!"
"That's not gonna happen, Misty, 'cause I'm activating this trap," Akiza announced, activating her third reverse-card, "With the power of Urgent Tuning, I can summon a synchro-monster during my battle phase. So once again, Twilight Rose Knight will be giving Lord Poison a little tune-up!" and then it was déjà vu as the two combined once again into the Black Rose Dragon (ATK: 2400), "But we're not done yet; you see my Black Rose Dragon is so excited after being successfully synchro-summoned, it just can't help but incinerate every other card on the field!"
Black Rose Dragon roared and winds and petals destroyed Gorgon and all of Misty's spells. The only thing left is Colosseum, because Field Barrier, now destroyed, protected it. Lastly, Black Rose Dragon itself is destroyed.
"I'd say that was your endgame this whole time, and you 'let me' destroy Black Rose Dragon," Misty smiled, "But I don't want to give you that much credit. However, you didn't destroy every card. Thanks to Field Barrier's protection, the Savage Colosseum isn't going anywhere, unlike my brother."
"For the last time, just because he liked me doesn't mean I know something."
"He said he went to watch you duel, and that he spoke to you afterwards, and that talking to you made him want to join the Arcadia Movement. And then he vanished without a trace."
"Look, Misty, I'm really sorry that you lost your brother," the Black Rose assured, "But, you have to believe me, I had absolutely nothing to do with it-!"
"I don't 'have to believe' anything, Akiza!" the Dark Signer snapped, "And don't pretend you're sorry! I've seen the way you duel, Black Rose! You let your power run wild, you're out of control! Why is it that people watching you duel always get hurt? It's because you don't care about anyone other than yourself, isn't that right, Akiza!"
"No, that's not right! I'm a good person!"
"Do you care about the people you scared during the tournament? The people who just wanted to watch their favorite duelists duel! But instead—"
"Those people were mocking me and calling me a witch!"
"Oh, I understand. So what you're saying, then, is that those people deserved what happened to them... You're saying that you're glad that you scared them."
Akiza's eyes widened in shock and horror. What she was just told might as well be true; for the last five years she had been terrorizing others with the aid of her dragon. She never took into account that they could have been killed, nor would she care. She showed no mercy because no one else showed her any; so all she could do is last out on them. And the more pain inflicts, the more she gluttons to give more. Now, as it all sinks in, Akiza could not help but wonder…what if what Misty said was right…?
Meanwhile…
Luna continued to sit in the medical room, still separated from Leo by a glass screen. Suddenly a low thud distracted her. The door was then smashed open to reveal Tanner and Yanagi.
"Luna!" Yanagi called.
"How'd you guys find me?" Luna exclaimed, standing.
"This is the eighth door he's knocked in!"
"Are you alright?" Tanner asked gruffly, walking into the room. He noticed Leo. "Alright, stand back." He picked up the sofa Luna had been sat on and swung it into the screen, shattering the glass. He then stepped in and shook Leo, who moaned groggily.
"Huh? Is it Christmas already?"
"How d'you feel? Are you hurt? What happened?"
"Uh... Katherine and me, we dueled Divine and Sayer.
"And how'dja do?"
He then remembered being knocked into the wall by Divine before everything went black then, "Ah... Not too good. We got schooled… Where's Luna? She okay?"
"I'm right in front of you, Leo!" Luna stepped in.
"There you are," the twin brother wasted no time embracing her sister, "I'm so glad you're safe!"
"It's not like I'm helpless without you, you know." Luna replied, slightly affronted.
"Hey!" the group turned to hear footsteps and saw Nathan run into the room, with Katherine holding his hand her dress still torn.
"Nathan! What happened?" Tanner asked.
"I was about to evacuate the building when I found Katherine being held inside one of the rooms," Nathan answered, "And she was lucky I found her. But let's talk later. We have to leave, now!"
"My brother watched you duel in the Narrows of New Domino City," Misty lectured, "He said he spoke to you afterwards, Akiza! You!"
"I don't know, I- I don't remember meeting him, I'm sorry!"
"And yet you say you're a 'good person'. Wouldn't a good person remember meeting an excited fan? I don't believe a word you're saying! What happened to my brother? Did he fail your little entry test and that was that?"
"Sis isn't even like that!" Rico snapped; he had just enough of Misty's insults, "She would never turn from anyone who needs help! She cares!"
"She cares, huh?" scoffed the supermodel, "Tell me. Did she care if you could die when her dragon attacked you? Did she even care if you were alright when she pushed you away that night?"
"It was her powers that hurt me, not her herself! She was alone and I want to help her! And I won't let her go until she can control her powers!"
"Well, some help you are. If she's so considerate, then why would you tell some boy you don't even know to—"
"I tell everyone I meet to consider the Movement!" Akiza cried, "Because, because if they are like me, I don't want them to go through what…ugh! To go through what I went through!"
"…Fine. Have it your way, Akiza. Keep on lying, and denying, but in the end, you and I both know it was you, and because of that, I'm sending you and your lies to the netherworld! After all, it was you who told my brother to leave his family; you stole him from us! And once I'm rid of you, I'm going to erase every trace of your so-called family; and I think I'll start with your 'little brother' first!"
"You keep Rico out of this," warned Akiza.
"I'd like to see you try and stop me. The end is near, Akiza!" Misty then started her turn, "From my hand, I'm activating the Reptilianne Spawn spell card. Now, if I remove a reptile monster in my graveyard from play, I can harness Reptilianne Spawn's power, and summon two reptile tokens (1/ATK: 0/DEF: 0)," two dark emerald-green lizards with staring amber eyes appeared before her (ATK: 0x2), "But these little guys won't be sticking around; they will enable me to summon an even greater power!" they formed into a single ball of energy and floated out the plate glass window down the hall, creating a giant stone heart, "Now, by releasing those two tokens, I can open the door to the netherworld and summon, (12) Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua(10/ATK: 2800/DEF: 2400)!"
Outside the building, a crowd had gathered at the foot of the Arcadia building. Cars were stopped in the street, unable to move because of the burning signs on the ground. Everyone could only stand and watch as the large heart in the sky continued to beat. Suddenly, everyone began to scream, rooted to the spot, and transmuted into lights which were then being absorbed into the heart.
Jack, Jason and Kenichi stopped in place due to this spectacle. Jack's Mark pulsed and formed a barrier around the three.
"What's this about?" Kenichi wondered aloud.
"I think we're safe in this dome," Jason deducted, "Just don't leave it."
Within the building, Akiza watched as more purple lights surged past, escaping through the window to soak into the stone heart. A small force-field was formed around her and Rico, "What is this?" Akiza asked in shock.
"My Earthbound Immortal is absorbing the spirits of Domino City's citizens!" Misty answered, "But don't worry; it won't absorb you, and lucky for your little friend, him neither. But I'm saving you for last!"
The object in the sky then shot a beam of light from ground to clouds, and in the resulting dust cloud, two massive, hunched figures were born.
"What gives? Where's this monster?" Akiza asked bewildered, "You did just summon one, didn't you?"
"Oh, I summoned one all right. Turn around, Akiza!"
Suddenly, a loud thud was heard. Akiza hardly dared to look behind her to the window. Then, her shock came to realization when a large green eye shot open. Rico buried his face against Akiza's corset from the sudden appearance.
Ccarayhua was a lizard nearly as tall as the building when it stood on its hind legs, as it was doing now. It was black, with green glowing markings. It grasped each side of the building with a webbed front foot, its face pressed up against the window of the floor on which the duel is happening. It swiveled its massive head; its eyes were globes that protrude from the top of its head, and its grin of teeth, glowing completely green, were disturbing. It opened its mouth, threw back its head, and roared its triumph, flaring with light.
Back down below, Greiger heard a helicopter descend and land near the prison shuttle, lighting up the windows. The lock on the back door of the vehicle exploded, and the door opens on nonstop bright light. Greiger stood as there was a silhouette in the light approaching him, "Who are you?" he demanded.
"The name is Devack," the hooded figure had two marks down his face, too dark to be tracking dye, accenting his square jaw and the gauntness of his cheeks, the Dark Signer drew a card from his Deck and threw it, cutting through the chains holding the Peruvian captive, "I know what Goodwin did to you, Greiger. To your village," he then gestured to Nomura, sitting in her corner, "And I know what Jason Hutchins did to you as well. I know you're both angry, and I know you both want revenge. I can help you get that revenge. Come with me." Greiger frowned at the offer. It seemed too good to be true. But still, will he accept…?
Meanwhile…
Sayer stared at Carly in shock as another earthquake rocked the skyscraper, "What is that? What is happening out there?"
"If I were you, Sayer, I'd be much more concerned with what's happening in here," scowled Carly.
"What do your bosses want?"
"All that matters is you're gonna pay for ripping the life out of me in our last duel!" the Dark Signer barked, "Now unless you wanna take it lying down, get up!" Sayer scowled in response and got to his feet, slightly stiff, "It's your move. You've got one more chance to save yourself, one more turn! So, think carefully, 'cause this is it!"
Carly: 4000
Sayer: 1800
'These dark powers of hers are much stronger than you anticipated,' Sayer mused, 'but you can't lose focus now. Because if you can defeat her, you can capture her! And then, you can convince her to join your psychic army and do your bidding! You can do this; you're the leader of the Arcadia Movement!' "It's my turn!" Sayer drew his next card, 'But you have to be careful. That Future Visions field-spell of hers is quite the tricky card. If you summon a monster through normal means, it'll be zapped a few rounds ahead, and you won't be able to fight with it. So, that means you can't use a normal-summon. You're gonna have to improvise here…lucky I got just the card to do it.' "From my hand, I activate the Teleport continuous-spell! When you have a monster on your field, and my field is empty, I can sacrifice 800 life-points to activate this card's power, and then special-summon one psychic monster from my hand. Kindly welcome Storm Caller(6/ATK: 2300/DEF: 2000) to the field," a chunky-looking psychic appeared; Storm Caller was a big guy with a large satellite dish mounted on his shoulders and other gizmos around his waist (ATK: 2300).
Carly: 4000
Sayer: 1000
"Next I use an equip-spell: Premature Burial. By getting rid of 800 more life-points, I special-summon a monster from my graveyard, and boost it with this card. I resurrect, Magical Android," the nurturing psychic returned (ATK: 2400).
Carly: 4000
Sayer: 200
"Oh and, since I used a special-summon, your Future Visions field has no effect. Now go, Storm Caller! Attack! Take out Fortune Lady Fire!" the large psychic fired a leathal radio-wave at the fiery sorceress…
"I activate my trap, Slip of Fortune!" Carly flipped her reverse-card, then Fire disappeared, "This card removes the target of your monster's assault, and then negates your attack altogether!"
"That move may've spared you some damage, but I still have Magical Android to attack with, and your field is empty now, so get ready for a direct attack!" Carly took the second psychic's attack full-force.
Carly: 1600
Sayer: 200
"And now, I summon Psychic Commander in ATK mode!" the psychic sergeant appeared on Sayer's field.
"Future Visions' effect activates!" the Psychic Commander then disappeared, "So say goodbye to Commander 'cause you won't be seeing it until your next turn! Assuming you even have one!"
"Well, then I'd better make the most of this one, then! By activating Magical Android's special ability, I gain 600 life-points for every psychic monster on my field," the psychic nurse healed her master with 1200 more points.
Carly: 1600
Sayer: 1400
'Now, our points are pretty much equal,' Sayer thought, 'If I can hold out for one more round, Psychic Commander will return to my field for my next turn. If I can bring him together with Magical Android, I can synchro-summon my deck's most powerful monster, Thought Ruler Archfiend. And then, I can show this Dark Signer what true power feels like. I just have to hold out for one more round." The question is, will he?
The question threatens to fall as her opponent chuckled, "It's the end of the line, Sayer," Carly started her last turn, "Thanks to the time-traveling effects of the Future Visions field-spell and my Slip of Fortune trap card, both Fortune Lady Light and Fortune Lady Fire return to my field. But these two ladies won't be sticking around to play..." the two witches reappeared before merging into a blob of multicolored light and drifted out the broken window, on the opposite side of the building from where Ccarayhua already towered. Air rippled out from the blob as it forms into, yes, another Earthbound-Immortal-coffin.
The building shook again and Sayer nearly fell over, "What is this?" he demanded.
"Now, after five thousand years, the door to the netherworld will open again!" the Dark Signer's optics began to glow as the sheer power emanating from Carly's duel disk forced Sayer back against the wall, "And the great Immortals will feed on the spirits of Domino City! I summon (13) Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu(10/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2500)!"
"You're a fool!" Sayer laughed, "Did you forget about your Future Visions? The moment your monster appears, your own field-spell is gonna zap it one round into the future! You won't be able to do anything with it!"
"I warned you, Sayer, you had one chance! One turn!" Carly declared, "You're right that my monster will have to leave the field… but thanks to its special-ability, when it does leave the field, it'll take all your monsters with it! And for every monster you lose, you also lose 800 life-points! You're finished, Sayer!"
The Arcadia Leader looked around but… "Uh… where's this 'big monster' you summoned?" Just then, he heard the unnatural cry of a bird behind him. Outside the window looms a massive, angular hummingbird, black glowing with orange markings. It was staring right at him! Its huge glowing eyes like a pair of bright street lamps. Sayer had turned around to gawk, "No way! I've never seen a monster like this before!"
"Yeah, well uh, know what? You never will again, either!"
"I see the fear in your eyes, Divine," Gabriella purred, "It's those same eyes Kat had when you and that monster of yours loomed over her like a starving beast. …But now the tables have turned. And now, it's time to say goodbye," Beelzebub opened another black hole and released hundreds, if not thousands, of black wasps, their baring fangs drooling and their poisonous stingers itching to be buried in warm skin, "Nighty-night; don't let the bees bite…not that you'll have a choice anyway."
The insects zipped across the field, buzzing loudly and ready to feed on this fresh meat…
Aslla Piscu lunges in with its long, pointy beak. Sayer screamed as the giant bird stabbed its beak into the building, impaling through it. Fire erupted as the entire floor's windows blew out in a massive explosion.
Down below, Akiza's eyes widened as a great cloud of smoke and fire erupted into the space within the stairwell. Sayer fell from it, silent.
"SAYER!" Akiza screamed as she watched him fall past her, down into the darkness towards the floor and certain death, into the dark fog below. The walls began to splinter and crack, sending debris falling down, one piece unfortunately and clonked her head, knocking her unconscious.
"Sis!" Rico dropped down and tried to shake Akiza awake, "Akiza! You gotta wake up! Akiza!"
"It seems this duel needs postponing," Misty said smiling, walking away as debris fell, "If your precious 'Big Sister' wakes up, tell her I'll be back to claim her soul." And with that, she was gone, leaving Rico to grovel over his big sister…
Finally, the Arcadia's 'guests' made it to the bottom floor of the still-collapsing building, trying to dodge the falling debris. Most of them managed to get out in time, but unfortunately, Katherine tripped over a piece of rock and fell down.
"Kat!" the group went back and tried to help her. But they feared they could not reach her in time, considering a huge piece of debris falling over to her at top speed. The little Neko Duelist could do nothing but stare in angst at the enormous rock coming closer. But as she awaited her demise, she was then straddled over by a sudden body mass. She could not see who it was behind the black cape, except of course, those eyes…yes, she knew those eyes anywhere. Her savior could be no other than—
CRAASSHH!
David awoke to the sight of stars. He rose to his feet and found himself standing atop of one of the buildings, seeing the burning flames and the black titans surrounding the Arcadia Movement from afar.
"Finally, you are awake," David snapped his head to the source of the voice; a lone figure in a black cloak was standing a few feet in front of him. No other features he could see, except for the small locks of blonde hair sticking out.
"…Why did you save me?" was the only thing he could say at this moment.
"The battle between Signer and Dark Signer was being waged there," the figure said, pointing to the broken building, "Your soul was about to be consumed by the Earthbound Immortal. You were lucky I spared you from that fate."
"Spared me…just who are you?"
"Someone from long ago…" the wind soon picked up and a helicopter ascended behind the person, whom entered inside, "If you want the truth to be answered…" the figure's hood was removed, and David's reality was completely revolted by her identity: that long blonde hair, those cute pink blushes…especially those onyx-black, silver eyes, "The follow me to the Satellite."
David's body was paralyzed from this sudden revelation. All he could do is fall to his knees, as he watched her fly off into the night. The same thing ran through his thoughts repeatedly…
'How can this be…?'
Meanwhile, on the Arcadia's outside balcony somewhere that had so far escaped the damage, Carly walked out of the building. Her eyes are back to normal, although confused and worried.
"What? What just happened? How did I get way up here?" she then remembered of her recent battle, how her Immortal pierced through Sayer and sent him plummeting, "Oh no...! Did I really just duel the head of the Arcadia Movement?" and how she managed to obtain her dark power was clear as a bell, as she glanced at her duel-disk on her left arm, and then her glowing bird-mark on her right, "What have I done…" she whispered, falling to her knees, her face to the pavement crying, "How could I do something this horrible?"
"Carly. Don't be afraid of your destiny."
Carly looked up to see Misty appearing out of a cloud of smoke from the building; the smoke was billowing around their feet on the balcony.
"Is that you, Misty?"
Misty walked to the newest Dark Signer as she sits on the ground trembling, "You were chosen, Carly, just as I was chosen."
"Chosen for what?" Carly whimpered.
"Greatness. You were chosen by the Immortals. When the life you once knew was taken away, you had…a desire; a goal, if you will. The Immortals gave you their power so you could, well, stick around. Same kind of thing happened to me," Misty then showed her glowing lizard marking, "We're still in this world, but we're not part of it anymore. Not as we once were, anyway. This mark is proof."
"No..." Carly continued to cry, "That's a lie!"
Misty knelt and puts a hand on her shoulder, "I understand. It's a lot to take in, I know. Don't worry. You will understand soon," She hugs Carly, trying to comfort her as she kept crying into her shoulder, "But before you can do that, you have to figure out, what desire is…and how can it benefit the Dark Signers!"
When Tanner and Yanagi emerged from the building with the twins, they got as far away from the unstable building as possible. The Earthbound Immortals were gone, having faded back into the earth from whence they came. Soon, three duel-runners rode up and joined then.
"What happened?" Jason asked, dismounting his runner.
"I don't know," answered Nathan, "But the whole building was coming down and we hand to get out of there. But…" his words cut themselves off.
"But what?"
"…"
"But what?"
"Katherine…" Nathan muttered, "She… I hate to say this, but—"
But Jason gave no time for Nathan to finish. For he darted straight through the doors he wandered around frantically, looking calling out her name, "Kat! Kat, where are you? Hey, this' no time to play hide-and-seek! Where are you? Kat!" but no matter how loud he yelled, the girl was nowhere in sight. It was then his sights were caught by a single card, placed face-down near a rather large pile of rubble. He went to pick it up, and to his horror, it was none other than the Chibi Neko-Maid.
"No…" Jason feared the worse. This was Katherine's favorite card; she wouldn't drop this. This could only mean one thing…
Katherine Cheshire, the one who acknowledged Jason more than anyone else, is no longer longed for this world…
