Progressing form our last installment, the Signers, including David Kenichi and Margaret, were facing down their six dark counterparts.
"So these are the big, bad Dark Signers, huh?" Kenichi scoffed to himself, "Kinda funny-looking if you ask me."
"Alright, Dark Signers, this is it," Yusei growled, "It's time to pay for what you've done."
"Well, before you try and cash out, I have something the little girl might be looking for." Devack held up a Duel Monsters card, showing it to Luna. She gasped at the sight of the serpentine blue dragon, taking in the beautiful rainbow-hued butterfly wings, the light, golden armor upon its chest and head, and the amber eyes that seemed to plead with her for help.
"It's Ancient Fairy Dragon!" Luna gasped.
"I believe this card should be in your deck. Now, if you want to get this card back, you'll have to come battle me," the golden Dark Signer said, "And in case you're wondering who I am, my name is Devack..." he rolled up his sleeve, "And I bear the Mark of the Monkey."
"Ah! This is just how I always imagined it!" the young woman in black sighed, "Signer against Dark Signer, the forces of light facing the armies of darkness; what more could a girl ask for?"
"So you Dark Signers are the ones behind the strange disappearances in Satellite?" Jason stepped in and demanded.
"Of course we are," the Dark Signer giggled, "I guess nothing gets by you, D-5 Epsilon."
"Where'd you hear that name? How do you know who I am?"
"Don't you have a lot of questions..." she leaned her cheek against her hand, playfully trying to think, "Oh, if only we could have a moment alone to talk, just for a little while?"
"Of course there's a war to be waged," Roman spoke, "Let us meet tomorrow at the Five Stars of Destiny. The end will be decided there."
As one, the Dark Signers turn and leave. As one in the orange hood turned away, Jack glimpsed her face, and gasped in absolute shock.
"Whoa, where d'you think you're goin'!" Yusei shouted going after them with Jack following, "Don't you walk away from me, Roman!"
"Yusei!" Akiza called, but Yusei kept on running until he stopped.
Yusei kept running until he was surrounded by only mist, down some empty alleyway, "Hey! Come on! Let's do this right here right now!"
Yusei demanded. But no one came; only Roman's voice could be heard.
"Don't be so impatient, Yusei!" he chuckled, "We can't battle here, we're not supposed to!"
"Whaddaya mean we're not supposed to? It sounds to me like you're scared!"
"Don't be a fool. Just come to the Five Stars of Destiny; we'll be waiting!" Roman said and with that, his voice was no longer heard.
"I'm done playing your little games!" Yusei shouted to the ominous sky, "Get out here! Get out here and duel me!"
Meanwhile, the Dark Signer in orange was walking until she heard a voice.
"Hey! You!" A voice called. The female Dark Signer turned around to see Jack running to her, "Yeah, you! Why d'you look so familiar?" she backed up a step and tried to run away, but Jack tried to grab her by the shoulder and instead pulled off her hood. Jack's eyes widened when he saw who it was, "I don't... I don't believe it!" his suspicions and fears have come true. It was... "Carly? Is that you?"
As she turned her head, Carly's eyes appeared normal; she blinked and they became dark again. Her manner was regretful, mournfully dramatic, condemned.
"What's going on here! You can't really be a Dark Signer...?" Jack asked. She lifts back up her hood. She looked back at him one more time.
"If it's answers that you want, you'll have to come find me, tomorrow... 'Til then, Jack..." as she walked away, tears sparkled in the air in her wake, and her hood billowed behind her. She ran away, leaving Jack standing in the mist.
YuGiOh: 5D's
Reverse of Arcadia
Ride 26: Black Sabbath
Part1: One Promise
Everyone regrouped back at the house with the three boys they rescued in tow. Yusei told the doctor what happened to Rally and Martha and no one exactly took it too well. While everyone else was in silence, the three boys were crying.
"!'m so sorry, Doctor Schmidt!" Taka sobbed, "All of this... it's all because of me!"
"And... Martha? She's... really, gone?" the doctor asked.
"I'm afraid so!" Trudge said with regret, falling to his knees, "I was with her, I should've been able to save her! But I wasn't able to grab hold of her in time... It's all my fault!"
"It's not your fault! I-it's my fault!" Mitch protested.
"No it's not," Taka cried, "it's my fault for trying to help Yusei and Magic!"
"No, it's my fault for not saying don't go!" John held up his head and wailed. Everyone was silent. Trudge was sitting on the floor on his hands and knees, and the boys were grouped around him, all four of them crying.
"That's enough!" Jack finally shouted, punching the table out of pure frustration, "Knock it off, you dolts! Stop trying to take credit for everything!"
"What he means is, you're not the ones to blame." Yusei said. The boys stop crying and listened. "We're not gonna sit around and blame ourselves for things the bad guys did-."
"But we're gonna defeat the Dark Signers and get everyone back!" Margaret stepped.
"Wait one moment. Are you really saying that you can bring everyone back?" Schmidt asked, "How is that possible?"
"Everything that's happened so far are because of those Dark Signers: the disappearances, the fog, the geoglyphs, and those other geoglyphs; the Dark Signers caused it all. They're using the energy of the people the taken to gain more power!"
"So, if you defeat those Dark Signers, everything goes back to normal?" Margaret nodded.
"You can really get Martha back?" Taka asked.
Margaret went over and wrapped her arms around the child, "Don't worry. We're gonna make everything right again. You just need to stay positive. Be brave for us and help take care of everyone that's still here."
"Of course. We're counting on you; please, be careful." The doctor said.
"Thank you." The ice duelist looked at the boys. "Now try to get some sleep okay?"
"We'll try; Good night," The boys said. The doctor then lead to boys to their rooms leaving everyone else back in the dining room. Margaret closed the door, pausing a little to watch Schmidt and the kids walk away, and turned back into the dining room, not meeting anyone's eyes.
"So... That was quite the promise you made out there. We defeat the Dark Signers, and then everyone who 'disappeared will just magically 'reappear." Jack questioned, "You don't know that's true."
"I know..."
"So why lie about it?" Jason wondered, "I thought you'd knew what to do."
"I'm sorry, I..." Margaret stammered, "I-I just want to at least believe. I j-just wanted to give use some hope."
"False hope is more like it," everyone turned to see Justine leaning against the wall near the doorway, "You only said what you did because you know it won't happen, but you just can't bring it to yourself to tell the truth now, can you?"
"Please; this is not the time or the place." Jason warned, but the female officer ignored him.
"What's the point of promising something when you don't know how to make good on it?" she sighed, "I shouldn't be surprised. Satellites were never good at keeping good on their word."
"That's enough!" Jason snapped, "Listen, I don't know what your problem is but we're all upset right now. Hope's all we have going for now. If Margaret's sure we can get everyone back, then I believe her!" Justine turned away, her expression unchanged.
"T-thank you, Jason." Margaret blushed.
"It doesn't really matter what you believe," Mina said, "No matter what you think it'll happen afterwards, you have to reverse the reactor."
"Exactly," Yusei nodded, "We have to do what we came here to do."
Many others seemed to agree, except for Jack, who turned away from the group, "Fine. Let's go be heroes." he replied cynically and cranky.
"I have a question. That Roman guy said they'd be waiting at the 'Five Stars of Destiny'," Blister wondered, "Does anyone know what those are?"
"My guess is that he's referring to the five control units that were built to maintain the original Reactor." Mina answered, "According to the reports, they were the first part of the system to break when the Reactor reacted. During development, each individual control unit went by a codename: Ccapac Apu, Ccarayhua, Aslla Piscu, Cusillu, and Lobo. In the Quechan language, they mean- the Giant, the Lizard, the Hummingbird, the Monkey, and the Wolf."
"Those're the Nazca lines that disappeared!" Akiza gasped.
"I don't think there was any wolf in the Nazca patterns," Persian protested.
"There are ones that resembled a Dog," Mina shrugged, "But for some reason they thought a wolf would sound more professional. Go figure."
"Isn't there a spider too?" Luna asked, "What about that?"
"The spider's Uru, which was the codename for the Reactor itself. In order to reverse the Reactor and stop the flow of negative energy, you have to go to each of those control units and turn them on."
"That Roman guy is the Spider, right?" Akiza said, "Does that mean he's the boss?"
"How're they supposed to turn on these control unit?" Persian asked.
"The dragons in their Extra Decks," Mina said, "Those were the cards that were used to power up each of the control units. So Luna, It's very important that you get the Ancient Fairy Dragon back from Devack."
"Five units... You said there are five units in all. Do one of them happen to be this one?" Margaret asked as she presented her White Glacier to Mina.
"That's the White Glacier Dragon, right? Yes, this is it."
"How do you know all of this?" Yusei asked.
"Because Professor Fudo entrusted those cards to Director Goodwin. He tried to put the five seals in place and stabilize the Reactor. However, he only managed to obtain four of the five cards and handed them over to Goodwin."
"So if Goodwin had those cards, how did everyone else end up with 'em?" Blister wondered.
"He released them all into the public. Goodwin figured that by bizarre twist of fate, the cards would find their way to their respective partners. So far, it worked."
"Well, since Goodwin seems to know 'so much' about destiny, he must know how this whole thing is gonna turn out, right?" Jack asked tetchy.
"It doesn't work like that. He doesn't know the future. There's no telling what will happen. But Goodwin is done playing his part. The baton has been passed. The rest is up to you. All of you, the fate of the world has been put into your hands." everyone were silent, each feeling the weight of the world placed on his or her shoulders. Mina then unrolled a map of Satellite on the table. Five red stars mark out a pentagram around the crater, pointing at each spot as she spoke. "Here's the location of the four control stations. Giant, Hummingbird, Lizard, Monkey, and Wolf. They're pretty spread out."
"What if one of control units are broken or something?" Kenichi asked, "I mean they are 20 decades old."
"That's where the backup generators come in..." Mina took out a pen and drew five more dots in inside the pentagram, each one a distance away from one of the first ones. "These were made just in case of that kind of situation. And just like the five control units, each one is codenamed based on the five Duel Monster attributes of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind and Darkness."
Hearing that, it didn't take long for Jason to put the pieces together. "That's where the Genex come in..."
"Each of the five generators can only be activated by way of a monster of a specific Synchro-monster's attribute. That's why Goodwin gave you a Genex deck; metaphorically to pave a road for the Signers just in case there're any obstacles that they themselves couldn't pass. Unfortunately, Jason only holds four attributes in his deck. Even his Genex Dragon is no use when he reaches the Darkness generator. That's why Goodwin asked me to give this to him..." Mina pulled out a Duel Monsters card out of her person and Gave it to Jason. "Just like the other four, this is very vital for activating the generators."
"So what's the plan?" Trudge asked, "Hit all these units up one by one?"
"That would be a huge waste of time!" Jack specified, "Besides a duel is one-on-one; we're gonna hafta split up and go solo. Five Signers, five control stations; it's a no-brainer! Who knows, maybe this is more of Goodwin's 'destiny' at work."
"We were just starting to become a real team!" Luna pointed out.
"We're still a team, Luna," Yusei said, "All of us. Even if we're apart, we're still fighting for the same thing."
"I guess you're right..."
"So who's going where?" Persian asked.
"I'm pretty sure that the mark of the Giant is Kalin's, so I'll go there," Yusei said, "He an' I have business."
"The Lizard is Misty's mark," Akiza adverted, "I'll head over to that station."
"Devack is the monkey, and... I have to get Ancient Fairy Dragon," Luna said, "so I'm gonna go take him on."
"And I'm gonna go so I can root for ya!" Leo said.
"So the Hummingbird must be..." Jack thought back to what Carly has said, "That other girl..."
"I guess that leaves me with the Wolf..." Margaret said.
"You kids want a ride to your battle in a Sector patrol car?" Trudge asked the twins; Luna nodded.
"And if it's okay, I'll go with you, Akiza." Mina offered; Akiza shrugged.
"And while you're at it, I'll go ahead and boot up the generators." Jason said.
"And I'll come with!" Kenichi stepped in, "No use letting and Dark Signers coming in and double-teaming 'ya!"
Jason nodded, "What about you, David?" he then turned to the Magician Duelist, who was leaning against the wall quietly the whole time. He remained silent until he sighed, "I'll go. Don't ask me why but I'm coming with you."
"And I'm coming with Maggie," Persian said, "Looks like she could use a ride."
"Thank you..." Margaret said.
"Guess I'm stuck at home again watching the kids," Blister said, "I hope you all have fun saving the world."
" We will," Yusei assured, "Alright, tomorrow we save our homes!"
Later That Night...
The moonlight shone down on the orphanage as the night time drew deeper and deeper, the Signers along with their followers had already gone to sleep but had agreed to get up at the crack of dawn as the fight would be a long one and time wasn't on their side. Outside a looming figure had emerged from the rubble nearby and stalked quietly towards the building. Her intention was to seek out someone in particular and discuss matters, a smirk plastered on her face underneath the hood the Dark Signer slowly walked on.
Jason had been slowly fading to sleep, but even then he couldn't fully get to sleep. His mind was forcing the events that were yet to come, gnaw at the back of his mind like a flea did on a dog. He couldn't help but think that even the non-Signers had just as big as if not bigger duty to perform. He had to help back up these generators so that the Signers could continue the fight, to say the least he was nervous but at the same time he had Ken and David with him so it wouldn't be so bad. Or at least he was trying to persuade himself that. As his eyelids fell, he suddenly shot them open as a figure loomed at the window; a hood was clear on this figure. A Dark Signer! He quickly leap out of bed and ran to the window, the figure taunted a figure to him telling him to follow and pointing to the back of the orphanage. Jason walked out of his room and walked to the back of the orphanage, he was about to leave when he was soon interrupted.
"Sleep walking are we Jason?" David's voice came from the shadows as he walked out of the corner.
"How long have you been there?" Jason asked the older Duelist.
"Long enough to sleep here, or lack of it as I'm a nocturnal creature." David's tone didn't sound much different than normal but he was trying to sound humorous.
"I saw a figure I think it's a Dark Signer, I'm going to check it out."
"In that case I better go with you."
"No thanks I don't need to be babied I can look after myself, besides you need your energy also for tomorrow right?" Jason spoke back; he was almost annoyed with David for offering to go with him. After all David didn't really seem to care otherwise.
"Have it your way, but I was only trying to help. Just make sure you come back soon, you need to rest now go on." David sighed and then slumped back into the corner where he was sleeping on the floor.
Without another word Jason left the building and walked out towards the playground at the back at the orphanage the figure was sitting on one of the swings at the back. "Fun these used to be, just like the past itself, before our worlds turn upside down due to the flow of fate. Wouldn't you agree Jason?"
"Who are you?"
"Me? Someone who wished to be standing by your side, but cannot." The figure slowly removed their hood, revealing the last person Jason wanted to see underneath it. That wintergreen hair, those frozen silver eyes, Jason could see past it all as he saw the guise of Gabriella Cheshire. The Dark Signer giggled as Jason tried to step away as she walked closer to him. Eventually he tripped and fell hard on his back and before Jason knew it, Gabriella was straddled on top of him.
"I know just what you were about to say, Jay-Jay," she chirped, "'What on earth happened to you, Gabriella?' 'Why are you a Dark Signer, Gabriella?' 'Oh Gabriella, this is all my fault! If only I hadn't left you, Gabriella!' I'll be completely honest with you. I'm glad things have come to this. That way I know you wouldn't stop chasing me until you finally manage to get me back home, safely in your arms." Gabriella placed her hands gently over Jason's cheeks, letting her frigid touch creep across his skin. She then closed the distance between them so he couldn't escape the icy stare freezing his soul in place, "I just gotta know, does it eat you up inside? Do you ever sleep at night without wondering what would've happened if you have had stayed with Kitty and me instead of running away to some high-voltage cage fight?" her eyes glistened in mock-sadness, "I was so lonely, Jason. It was so scary all by myself. So I revealed my true colors in hopes I could flush you out; and here you are..." finally, Gabriella placed her lips tightly against Jason's; the Signer suddenly found his internal body heat being sucked away on contact. He began to shiver violently from his skin his muscle, even his bones. His heart began to freeze over, threatened to stop beating and end his life. But before the curtains could close on him, Gabriella suddenly separated from him and the fire returned to him. The Dark Signer giggled like a schoolgirl at Jason's frightened expression, "Aw come on. Did you really think I would turn you over to the dark side this early on? Oh no no no. I wanna wait until just the perfect moment. Just be patient for me, okay?" she smiled and then dismounted her paralyzed prey. Jason stood into a sitting position and watched her walk away into the fog, "Hope you have a good night's sleep, Jason!" her voice echoed, "I want you to be in tip-top shape for our playtime tomorrow!" and just like that, her presence was gone. Still shaken up from Gabriella's advances, Jason slowly lift his hand and placed it over his mouth; he was shivered as he felt his breath still cold from Gabriella's touch...
Early the Next Morning...
A group of vehicles were lined up in front of a rickety bridge. Akiza and Mina were in one jeep, Trudge, Leo and Luna in another, while the Duel Runners carried their owners. Margaret was seated behind Persian on her runner.
"This is it, you guys. Are you ready, Luna?" Yusei asked. Luna nodded.
"Hey, I'm ready too!" Leo stated.
"Good luck."
"Come on, Yusei, we've got duels to duel," Jack said, "Give us a rousing speech and let's be gone!"
"Alright, guys. The Dark Signers are powerful, and right now we're the only thing standing in their way," Yusei declared, "If you should find yourself up against a wall, just think of the rest of us; think of your friends. We're all in this; and even when we're apart, we're together. Now let's go show these creeps how us Signers do things!" The Tail Signer revved up and took off on one path.
"An' if any of you loses your duel, you'll have to answer to me!" Jack started his runner and went off to another path. Mina started her jeep and she and Akiza went to their path. Trudge and the twins started their engines and they went on their path. Persian was ready and went to Margaret's destination. And finally, Jason, David and Kenichi revved their engines and sped off to the five generators.
Jason, David and Kenichi had been traveling to the generators. The air was cold and could dig into the soul of anyone; despite this Ken was trying to keep their hopes up.
"I wonder what these generators are like and who will be there to greet us?" He asked suddenly as the journey seemed awfully quiet up until that point.
"No clue but you sound strangely optimistic to find out don't you?" Jason replied he looked back at Kenichi a puzzled but amused look on his face. "Why would you care so much? I mean our objective is just to activate them anyway."
"I know but I've never really experienced Satellite and not this area either, it is actually pretty exciting and I must admit in a weird way I'm looking forward to it."
Jason laughed lightly. "I guess I never looked at it that way, I guess things can look enjoyable especially if you haven't been there before. So let's just hope it's good when we get there right David?"
David didn't reply straight away but when he did, he seemed unhappy. "Well I can't say I'm looking forward to go to my death, or at least a potential death. I mean how can you enjoy something like that? But for Kenichi it doesn't surprise me, I don't fear what is ahead but I can't say I'm looking forward to it."
"Always a buzz kill aren't you?" Kenichi smirked. "You know I wonder if you even know how to cry or smile, all you do is brood and be moody."
"Shut up!" David shouted back, but before he could say anything else the three had arrived at the area of the first reactor. Getting off their transport a figure stood their wearing a hood.
"So you have come the one that possess the Genex, I guess this is your first challenge, defeating me will be the first job and then you can activate this reactor." The voice was soft and angelic almost completely the opposite of most Dark Signers.
"In that case I acc..." Jason was about to activate his disk but David walked in his way. "David what are you doing?"
"This isn't you fight, so stand down." David looked back at Jason his eyes showed no malice but also a great deal of hurt. "Please understand that Dark Signer is the person I've been searching for and this fight is mine to do."
Jason nodded. "I got it good luck David; I hope you get what you wish at the end of the battle."
"Yes if only you knew the truth Jason, there is no happy ending to me." David thought as he stepped up to the Dark Signer. "I know it's you, so take off the hood and reveal me your face. If you really want to fight me, you have to show me your face, isn't that right Mana?"
Mana lowered her hood and looked back at him. "Yes you are right David; I never thought I would have to kill you. But this the cruel dance of destiny, so please make my final wish in this duel come true. Come at me and don't look back." She activated her disk and drew her hand already.
"I never wanted this but I failed you, and now I deserve the punishment. However, I can only give you what you want and fight you. Forgive me for what I did... no it doesn't matter words are pointless on a battlefield and I know due to what you say, the dark influence will infect you. So my words can't reach you, I will save them to the end. Until then there is only one option. Let's go!" He slid the Duel Disk on his arm before opening his pendent. "I will send you back to sleep, may your afterlife be better than the life you had with me." He looked back at the picture before closing it quietly and activating the Sword Disk. The purple flames roared and burned across the land.
"DUEL!"
David: 8000
Mana: 8000
"Allow me to start things off," Mana drew her sixth card, "I activate The Witches' Mass-Black Sabbath field-spell," the earth shook as walls of stone began to form around the duelists and the spectators. The soon found themselves inside a dark church with black walls. Unlike the one David was in the other day, the stained walls looked brand new and there were no pews to get in the way, as well as a glowing pentagram. An ominous atmosphere invaded as Mana stood over an alter. "And as long as the field-spell's in play, every time a spell is activated, an offering of one spell-counter will be given, and all DARK Spellcasters will receive 200 ATK and DEF points for each one. Unfortunately for you, only those who are committed to the mass would receive such a gift. And now, onto my monsters. I send one card from my hand to the graveyard to special-summon (1) Lustsworn Lamm(1/ATK: 300/DEF: 700) to the field," an anthropomorphic little lamb with black wool appeared; and by the way she was sitting on the cold stone floor, she was fast asleep (DEF: 700), "Next, I activate the spell Pot of Greed to draw two more cards. That also gives my field-spell its first spell-counter," after Mana drew two cards, a small wisp of purple flame appeared (CTR: 1), "Finally I will place two cards face-down," a couple of reverses appeared.
"Then I guess it's my turn," David drew his next card, "I summon Skilled Dark Magician in ATK mode," the cloaked black magician appeared (ATK: 1900), "Next, I activate the spell Tribute Doll. With this, I can tribute a weaker monster in exchange for a stronger one. So by releasing my Skilled Dark Magician, I can now summon a monster you know very well: my Dark Magician!" in place of the weaker spellcaster, the black-robed Dark Magician appeared, wielding his staff (ATK: 2500), "Next I'll give him a little power boost of my own, known as Magic Formula!" the Dark Magician was given an ancient tome, which gave him 700 ATK points due to its magical properties.
Dark Magician: (ATK: 3200)
"Don't forget, my field-spell receives a spell-counter for each spell that's been used, yours included." Mana said; two more wisps appeared (CTR: 3).
"Then I'll place one card face-down. It's your turn now." a reverse-card appeared.
"Very well; I draw," Mana started her turn, "I activate Spell Power Grasp. This magic card allows me to place a spell counter on an appropriate card, like my Black Sabbath field-spell," another flame appeared (CTR: 4), "And this spell has another effect, to let me add another Spell Power Grasp to my hand," another copy was added, "And since a spell has been activated, the Witches' Mass field-spell gains an additional counter (CTR: 5), "Next, I summon (2) Summoner Monk(4/ATK: 800/DEF: 1600) in DEF position," a pale, elderly man with long, white tendrils of hair appeared; he wore navy-blue robes with a long white strap going down the center, as well as a pointed hood with the same design, including a red gem (DEF: 1600-2600), "Now I activate my monk's special-ability: by discarding one spell card from my hand, I can special-summon a level-4 monster from my deck. So by removing the Spell Power Grasp that is in my hand, I can summon (3) Defender, the Magical Knight(4/ATK: 1600/DEF: 2000) in DEF mode," a knight with light-blue, magician based armor appeared (DEF: 2000-3000). The large shield in its possession was the same color, styled in gold rims with a scarlet gem in the center, "Finally, I activate the spell, Mischief of the Time Goddess, and place one more counter onto my field-spell (CTR: 6). That would end my turn."
"Then it's my move," David drew his next card, 'Why on earth would Mana play a card like Mischief of the Time Goddess?' he wondered, "That card only skips the player's turn and moves it right to their next battle-phase. And she doesn't have a strong enough monster to destroy my Dark Magician. So what is she up to?' David began to scan Mana's field, 'Thanks to Summoner Monk, she can summon as many monsters as she wants to from her deck. And if I try to attack any of her monsters, Defender could protect them from being destroyed by removing one of her spell-counters. So the only thing she did was increase her turn count, more or less... Wait a minute...' he then looked over to the sleeping Lustworn Lamm, 'This monster doesn't look like it's a spellcaster; so why put it out on the field when it's vulnerable...? Of course! It's been right in front of me this whole time! I've got to take out that monster before it's too late!' "Dark Magician! Attack Lustsworn Lamm with Dark Magic Attack!" the magician attacked the lamb with a bolt of dark magic.
"I activate the trap Magic Cylinder. This card negates a monster's attack and redirects it to its master," Mana's trap summoned a couple of giant tubes; the magician's attack going in one and then being shot back out of the other.
"I activate the Interdimensional Matter Transport!" a metallic machine appeared and absorbed the Dark Magician before blocking his attack, "And since Dark Magician is removed from the field, your trap has no effect! But that's not all; since Magic Formula was sent to the graveyard, I get 1000 life-points!"
David: 9000
Mana: 8000
"I didn't see it then, but I think I know your strategy. That Lustsworn monster never was a spellcaster, was it? So why would you try to protect it if it doesn't fit with the others on your field. You protected it because you're waiting for something to happen. Your waiting to play a card which requires that monster to stay on the field for a set amount of turns. That's why you played Mischief of the Time Goddess last turn: it helped you increase the turn count, not just to use it as counter-fodder."
Mana closed her eyes, "So you managed to see through my strategy already. I expected no less from you... But it's too late." Mana started her next turn, "It's time for the dark shadows to rise. I release Lustsworn Lamm to summon the Lustsworn Herald of Sloth-Baphomet!" then, the little black lamb let out a big yawn as it was then engulf in black flame. The fires then spread out and exploded, obscuring David's vision. When the flame died out, he was met with a new monster, on he never thought he'd see: it was a young girl, no older than 13; and from the looks of her, her outfit was not so concealing, if you could call it an outfit at all. All she had on was two belt-like straps across her chest area and another coupling of them covering her modesty. Just like the Lustsworn Lamm, had jet-black fur around her arms and legs. There were half of a skull of what looked like a goat on the side of head and she had hair of dark velvet that stretched down to her lower back in the form of two large dreads. Poking out of her head were two goat horns. A small black badge with indigo markings symbolized the Olympian spirit of Phaleg. The moment after she was summoned, she barely opened her black and violet eyes, leaving a tired expression.
"Let the ritual begin..."

David: "For so long I live day by day thing back to how I forsaken her, how I pushed her away. And now, at the moment of truth, I could have one more chance to repent for the way I treated her. And I'm going to do it with the fullest of my potential! But will it be enough...? Next time on Reverse of Arcadia: Black Sabbath: Part 2."
