CFGX: "The following insert in this chapter belongs to the band Labor Day."
Jason: "After David and Kenichi's ordeal with the Dark Signers, it's finally my turn to pursue the back-up generators. The one guarding it contains a flock of winged-beasts that are more powerful together than individually. It was onbly a matter of time until I found out that the Dark Signer I was against was the pop star Sonya Harpe. Things were turning bad when Gabriella showed up to give her some 'enlightenment'. With my monsters weakened by that dragon of hers, can I actually pull out a win against her aerial assault? Let's find out."
YuGiOh 5D's
Reverse of Arcadia
Ride 37: Dark Melody
Part 2: Feel the Wind
David and Kenichi watched as their black-haired friend was having dificulty in his duel.
"That Dark Signer sure has got Jason in a clinch," Kenichi said, "With any trap card on her field, Sonya could block out any attack headed her way, especially while Jason only has one attack to dish out thanks to The Dark Door."
"And with those three Harpies on the field, he can't attack anyway," David said, "His monsters can't stand a chance anyway with Harpie Zhen Dragon weakening his monsters with each turn. Let's hope he can get out of this before he recieves too much damage."
"I place one card face-down and end my turn!" a reverse-card appeared on Jason's field.
"Then it is my move," Sonya started her next turn and drew her card, "I summon (5D's)(1) Lustsworn Harpe(1/ATK: 300/DEF: 600) in DEF mode!" a younger harpy girl with blue hair and violet feathers appeared and crossed her wings in front of her.
Kenichi: "That's a Lustsworn monster!"
David: "Jason had better stay on his toes..."
"I place one card face-down," a reverse-card appeared, "That ends my turn."
"Then it's my turn-"
"I activate my face-down, the spell card Half Shut," Sonya's face-down quick-play flipped up, "So until the end-phase of this turn, one of your monsters lose half their current ATK points."
Windmill Genex: (ATK: 600)
"And with that done, Harpie Zhen Dragon's ability activates, so all your monsters lose 700 ATK points." the dragon beat its wings and infected Jason's monsters further with its poisonous filth.
Vindikite R-Genex: (ATK: 400)
Genex Turbine: (ATK: 0)
Windmill Genex: (ATK: 0)
Turbine and Windmill could no longer keep themselves stable and broke down. The blast created from the two monsters damage Jason further.
Jason: 400
Sonya: 6200
"I place one monster face-down," a monster was set in DEF position, "Next I place 1 card face-down! I end my turn."
"It's my turn," Sonya drew her next card, "I place one card face-down. That will be all," she continued as Jason drew his next card, "Now Harpy Zhen Dragon's ability activates. And with only 400 ATk points, it's time to sat goodbye to your Vindikite R-Genex." Zhen began to scatter more poison dust over Jason's last face-up monster... But nothing happened.
"Sorry, but since you destroyed Genex Turbine, Vindikite already lost the last 400 points he had thanks to his special-ability! So your dragon's effect can't destroy him!"
"You managed to avoid destruction, this time," Sonya said, "But I wonder how long will you keep fighting? As you have well known, my pet dragon would never attack my Harpie Ladies."
"That's why I plan on getting rid of your dragon! But first I'll summon my face-down monster Genex Controller!" the Genex tuner appeared, "Now I activate the spell card Monster Gate!" Jason placed the spell card in his duel-disk, "With the power of this card, I can remove the top cards of my deck until I find a monster card I can summon to the field; but a a small price."
"What sort of price?"
"All I have to do is sacrifice one monster, and I choose your Harpie Zhen Dragon!" the dragon vanished as a large glowing circle formed on the ground where it used to be; Jason began to pluck off his deck one by one. It only took two spell/trap cards until he found a monster, "Just what I'm looking for! I summon (3) Genex Recycled(1/ATK: 200/DEF: 400) in ATK mode!" the small robot with a large head appeared.
"A tuner-monster..."
"Next, I'll equip him with the Scroll of Bewitchment spell card! This allows me to change the attribute of the eqipped monster to a different one! And the attribute I choose is DARK!" Vindikite's coat color changed to black, "Now I tune Vidikite with Genex Recycled for another synchro-summon!" the small tuner rose to the sky and transformed into an emerald-green synchro-gate. The dark jet followed closely and released its frame, and broke into eight stars. The stars aligned through the gate as Jason chanted:
"Divested stars have become a vessel of darkness. Penetrate the shadows and race through the dark void, to reach its final destination! Synchro-Summon! (4) Locomotion R-Genex(9/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000), Accelerate!"
The synchro-gate used for the summoning still floated high in the air as the light died down. A surging train whistle rippled in the sky. A large train then appeared from the gate, guided by a trail of glowing train tracks. The vehicle bolted through the air towards the two duelists and swerved around them, stopping behind Jason on his side of the field. The train was a sleek black locomotive engine complete with a massive pair of boosters on the back. Moments after the train stopped, a pair of pedestal erected below at the front of the car. The boosters separated into two separate halves and folded out to the front, then folded themselves down. The headlight on top of the engine lit brightly as the train now stood upright as an actual robot (ATK: 2500-2700-1800).
"That's quite the monster..." Sonya admitted.
"And it comes with a powerful special-ability, which allows me to take control of a monster on your side of the field with the highest level! And the monster I chose will be your Harpie Lady 1!" the red-headed harpy disappeared from Sonya's side of the field and reappeared on Jason's (ATK: 1200), "And with Harpie Lady on my side, the effect of your Sisterhood trap no longer applies, so all your other monsters are fair game!"
"Locomotion R-Genex, attack Lustsworn Harpe!" the large obsidian machine raised a giant arm at the small harpy, 'If I hurry and finish off that lustsworn first, I won't have to worry about Sonya summoning her Herald later.' "Now go! Blast Gear!" Locomotion fired a blast of white energy at the Lustsworn. However, a clear column of light appeared around the winged-beast as she was protected by a barrier of rings, "What?"
"I activated my Pixie Ring trap card," Sonya revealed one of her reverse-cards, "And while this card remains on the field, the monster with the lowest ATK on my field is off-limits to any attacking monster."
David: "So basically, Jason's attack was cut off the moment Pixie Ring activated."
Kenichi: "At least he has one last turn to think of a way through that barrier before that Lustsworn Herald could reach the field."
"I activate my second trap card, Pyro Clock of Destiny!" Sonya revealed her last trap card, "And with the power of this trap, the turn count of one card on the field is increased by one. In other words, time skips by one turn."
"That means on her next turn..." Jason muttered.
"On my next turn..." Sonya drew her next card, "It will be time for Lustsworn Harpe to mature into a new form," Harpe became enveloped in a cocoon of bright-green winds that grew in size. When the wind dispersed, Harpe has grown into her adult form, "Now she has become the (5D's)(2) Lustsworn Herald of Lust-Lilith(6/ATK: 2100/DEF: 2300)!" the young woman has green eyes and flowing, dark-green hair that spilled down her back. She unfurled her long cloak as a pair of giant blood-red wings. Her flawless bare body was coiled with leather strapings that barely concealed her private parts. Around her neck was a necklace with a green pendant that shows the olympian symbol for Phul (ATK: 2100-2400).
"So this is the Herald of Lust..."
"Next I activate the spell Magic Planter. By sacrificing one continuous-trap card from my field, I get to draw two more cards. And the card I will be choosing is Pixie Ring," the songstress drew two more times, "And now I activate the Lust Fragrance card from my hand," after Sonya placed the card into her duel-disk, a bright-green have began to cover the field, "Whenever Lilith is on the field, I can activate this trap card from my hand and attach it to her as an equip-card. Next I activate Megamorph and equip it to her as well."
Lustsworn Herald of Lust-Lilith: (ATK: 1350)
"And now, to show you a glimpse of her power," the moment Lilith opened her mouth, notes of strangely blissful music came out. The sound was visable as sonar wavelengths as it stretched to Jason's field. Locomotion seemed to respond and twitched a bit, before it began to walk towards the Herald of Lust.
Jason: 400
Sonya: 5750
Jason's eyes widened as his new monster had betrayed him. "What have you done to my monster?"
"My monster's attack helped the effect of Lust Fragrance to take effect," Sonya replied, "You see, when Lilith attacks a monster with higher ATK points, she's safe from destruction in that battle; and Lust Fragrance's effect allows me to take control of that same monster, switching it to my side of the field. And what's more, every time the control of one of your monsters switch to me, Lust Fragrance also grants me half of their ATK points."
Jason: 400
Sonya: 8400
"Next, I activate Lilith's second ability. By sacrificing another monster, I can destroy one face-down card on the field," after releasing Harpie Lady 2, Lilith's sonic voice destroyed Jason's reverse-card, which was Defense Draw, "And with that, I end my turn."
"It's my turn," Jason groaned, 'Looks like I can't count on using any powerful monsters for a while, since Sonya would only take control of it with that Lustsworn combo. A setting a trap's no good either. Guess I'll have to go on the offensive for now.' "I switch both my monsters to DEF mode!" both Controller and Harpie Lady switched their battle positions (DEF: 200)(DEF: 1400), "Next I set a monster in DEF mode and end my turn!"
"Then it's my turn again," Sonya drew her next card, "First I place one card face-down. Then Locomotion Genex will attack your face-down card," the black mecha charged its arm-cannon and fired away at Jason's face-down, which was revealed as Genex Searcher.
"When Genex Searcher is destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard, I can use his ability to bring out R-Genex Magnum from my deck!" a boiler-framed robot appeared (ATK: 1000).
"In that case, I end my turn."
"Then it's my turn!" Jason drew his next card, "And since I have Genex Controller out with R-Genex Magma, it's time to put them together for a little synchro-summon!" the two monsters united as Jason chanted:
"Divested stars will be fueled by the flames of fate! Become the iron tank that will burst through the walls of darkness! Synchro-Summon! (5D's)(5) Catapulter R-Genex(6/ATK: 1000/DEF: 2200), Accelerate!"
When the light dissipated, a large hover-tank with black armor landed. Equipped on its top was a large plane catapult. Circles of white light flashed on its body (DEF: 2200), "Now for his special-ability! By releasing a monster on my field, I can destroy one of your monsters! So now I use Harpie Lady !..." Jason nodded to Airo and she nodded back, before flying onto the base of the catapult, "And take out your Herald of Lust!" the base clicked and the platform elevated and targeted the sky. It suddenly discharged and launched Airo into the sky. The Harpie Lady was engulfed in a red aura and soon burst into flames, giving her the form of a phoenix. When she was up high enough she suddenly flew back down, diving quickly towards its target.
"I activate Lilith's third ability; when she would be destroyed, in battle or by way of a card effect, I can select one of the monsters I control thet were originally on your side of the field, and then use that monster to take the hit instead." Locomotion towered behind Lilith and used its body as a shield. The phoenix crashed down on the large mecha and destroyed it, leaving Lilith unharmed.
Lustsworn Herald of Lust-Lilith: (ATK: 1050)
Kenichi: "I can't believe it! That was Jason's only chance at grounding that freakish bird!"
"I place one card face-down and call it a turn," a reverse-card appeared in front of Jason.
"Then it's my turn," Sonya drew her next card, "Lilith now attacks your Catapulter R-Genex. And although it costs me a few points, I can gain control of that monster due to Lust Fragrance's effect," the Lustsworn melody claimed another victim as the large catapult mecha hovered to Sonya's field.
Jason: 400
Sonya: 7350
"And in return, I gain half of the monster's ATK points with my trap's second effect."
Jason: 400
Sonya: 7850
"And now, I place one card face-down. It's your move."
Jason drew his next card, "I'll end my turn with a face-down!"
"Very well, then it's my move," Sonya started her turn, "I activate my face-down, the trap Folish Revival," she revealed her reverse-card, "And once activated, I can select a monster from your grave yard and summon it to your side of the field. And I've chosen your Locomotion R-Genex," the large black mecha returned to the field in its train-form (DEF: 2000), "Now, Lilith, attack and take control of Jason's monster; go, Dark Melody!" Lilith sang once more and her voice reached another of Jason's monsters, thuse pulling Locomotion to the opposite side of the field.
Jason: 400
Sonya: 7300
"And just like before, Lust Fragrance's effect gives me life-points equal to half of the monster's ATK points."
Jason: 400
Sonya: 8550
"I do thank you for giving me two powerful monsters, especially one with such a powerful it's text is incorrect, Catapulter R-Genex has another special-ability," Jason remained silent as Sonya continued, "I activate Catapulter's effect, and release Locomotion R-Genex. But instead of destroying your monsters, I'll have it go straight for your life-points instead," Locomotion landed its heavy body onto the catapult and was aimed straight at its former master, "Goodbye, Jason," Catapulter launched its cargo from its ramp and across the field. The train's engine roared as it sped straight towards its former master. It imploded on colision and the following explosion kicked a large cloud of dust where Jason was.
When the dust settled, the makeshift Signer was twitching frantically, trying hardest not to fall off his feet, "Sorry, Sonya, but as soon as your played Catapulter's effect I activated the Damage Polarizer trap card," he panted as he revealed his face-down, "And that means any damage I take is nullified; and what's more, we both get to draw one card," not long after drawing from his deck, Jason had colapsed to his knees, trying to fight off fatigue.
"Very well. I shall end my turn with a face-down," a reverse-card appeared on the songstress' field, "Why do you not give up, Jason?" Sonya wondered, "No matter what monster you play, they will only betray you and align with me. And your spells and traps will have no effect on her, as your monsters will give their lives to protect her. Just end this farce already. I have no desire to hurt you."
"Then why don't you just forfeit the duel already? You know what you're doing is wrong!"
In shame, Sonya looked away, "...Because that is my mistress' command, to defeat you and turn you into one of us," she then looked at him with a pleading look in her eyes, "Gabriella may look human, but she may as well be a goddess. When you're aligned with her, you relinquish all rights and free thought. And even if I do manage to escape, she will eventually find me, and punish me. I'm her eternal slave."
"See, that's where you're wrong!" Jason said, "You told everyone one time that you became a singer to help others get along, especially those between Satellite and New Domino! But that won't happen if there isn't a world to sing to! That's why I'm gonna win this duel and bring you back!"
(Cue: Cyclone Effect)
"It's my turn!" Jason then drew his next card, "I activate the effect of Omni Genex in my graveyard! By removing it from play, I can select four monsters, each with the attribute of FIRE, WATER, EARTH and WIND! Then I can add them to my deck to draw 2 new cards!"

The cards he selected were R-Genex Magma, Genex Undine, Genex Searcher and Windmill Genex. After returning them to his deck, Jason drew twice more, "Next, I activate the equip-spell D.D. Reincarnation! By sending 1 card from my hand to the grave I can summon a monster that I removed from play, like my Omni Genex!" a dimensional rift opened, which summoned the mechanical shield from the other side (ATK: 1000), "Next up, I activate Swing of Memories! This spell card lets me bring back a normal-monster from my graveyard, like my Genex Controller tuner-monster!" the robotic tuner reappeared (ATK: 1400).

"And now I activate my face-down, the trap card Attribute Synchron!" the Signer revealed his reverse-card, "Now Genex Controller! Combine with Omni Genex to form Genex Dragon!" the two monsters rose to the sky, "Lilith's voice may have entranced my monsters, but I've heard enough! It's time to hear Jason and the Genex live and in concert! So listen up!"
Cyclone Effect Don't stop it

Controller separated into three synchro-gates and surrounded the shield. Omni released its frame and became five shining stars that aligned and created a tower of light.
"Divested stars form into a hidden world of power! Become the new vessel to venture the new frontier! Synchro-Summon! Genex Dragon, Accelerate!"
Cyclone Effect Don't stop it
Kaze ga tsurete yuku yo yeah...

The large mechanical dragon appeared for a second time. This time its wings glowed with a milticolored blaze (ATK: 2800-2000-3400), "Now the effect of Attribute Synchron atctivates! You see, whenever I summon a synchro-monster, I can activate one of the following effects for each attribute of a non-tuner monster I used to synchro-summon! And to addition of being a light-attribute monster, Omni Genex is also treated as a monster of FIRE, WIND, EARTH and WATER! Let's start with the attrubute of LIGHT, which give me 300 life-points perlevel of the synchro-monster!" Genex Dragon beat its wings and spilled bright stardust over Jason.
Jason: 2800
Sonya: 8550

"And next comes the element of FIRE! That means you take 400 points of damage for each level Genex Dragon has!" Jason's dragon drew back its maw and fired a stream of flames. Lilith stood between Sonya and the blast. She shielded herself and blacked the flames, leaving steaming burns on its wings.
Jason: 2800
Sonya: 5350
Kono machi de onaji kaze wo kanjiru

"The element of WATER discards 1 card from your hand for each 2 levels Genex Dragon has!" Sonya was left to throw aside what was left of her playing hand.
"With the element of EARTH, Genex Dragon can destroy a monster for every of his 3 levels!" the dragon fired a burning bronze beam through the ground, which broke through the ground in a giant quake. The breaking earth charge into enemy lines and erupted the two monsters.
"I activate the Forbidden Lance spell card!" Sonya revealed her quick-play reverse-card, "By lowering Lilith's strength by 800, she is immune to the effects of other spell and trap cards!" The Lustsworn flew into the sky to avoid the exploding terain that engulfed Catapulter. Lilith avoided destruction once again as faced Genex Dragon in the skies (ATK: 250).
"I use Attribute Synchron's effect with the element of WIND! Now for every 3 levels, Genex Dragon can destroy any spell or trap card on the field! And that's just what he needs to clear this fog!" Genex Dragon beat its wings and created a large gust of wind which removed the green haze from the battlefield, along with Burden of the Mighty (ATK: 4300).

"But the concert's not over yet! We got a few couple more tunes to go! And by using the elements of EARTH and WATER, Genex Dragon can cut Lilith's ATK points in half, as well as negate her special-ability!" Genex Dragon unleased a vocal burst from his maw. Lilith could feel what's left of her power leave her as the sonics rippled through her (ATK: 125).
Sono te wo hirogete... You know

"Now it's time to end this! Genex Dragon, attack with Omni Flare!" a massive multicolored stream of energy burst from the dragon's mouth. The blast had struck Lilith and erased her completely from existence.

"And now, our greatest hit! I activate Genex's special-ability! Since he was synchro-summoned with a fire-attribute monster, you take 200 points of damage per level of monster he destroyed, which adds up to 1200!" finally, the dragon unleashed a large breath of fire. Sonya shielded herself as she was engulfed by the ocean of flames.

"Sonya!" Jason cried as he ran to Sonya, who has dropped to the ground in the aftermath of the duel. He knelt down and scooped her up in his arms. "Sonya, are you alright?"
(Cue: Cyclone Effect-acoustic edit)
Sonya's eyes slowly opened, and the first thing she saw was Jason's face. He had a warm and caring glow to the smile he was giving her. She was confused; he was still showing compassion to her after all she had done to him.
"I'm sorry..." Sonya whimpered, tears forming in her eyes, "I'm so, very sorry!"
"Relax, it's not your fault," Jason assured, "You had no choice in what you'd done."
"Jason, there's something I've been meaning to tell you; something that you really need to know."
"You don't have to say anything, Sonya. Don't worry, I'll find a way to bring you back-"
"Just listen to me!" Sonya yelled before catching her breath, "Jason I... I..." her lips quivered as she struggled to brings the words out her mouth. It was so hard, trying to admit herself to the person she cared so deeply. But if she were to disappear, he should at least know the truth. So she leaned in, and pressed her lips on his. When she lowered her head back down, she could not help but giggle as a blush appeared on Jason's face, "I'm so glad I got to meet you Jason."
"Yeah... Me too," Jason pulled her close into a tight embrace. Sonya returned the hug, resting her arms over his back. As she closed her eyes, she could feel herself fading away. Without regret, she vanished. Jason could no longer feel her weight in his arms. Tears now fell silently onto the ground, dampening the dirt. He stood there for a few more moments before he managed to straighten himself. Jason stood up and sighed tiredly, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"Hey, you alright, Jason?" asked Ken, he and David walking over to the Genex-user. The black-haired duelist shrugged in a very belittled way, walking steadily to his runner and allowing the kitten to hop on his shoulder. The furry creature mewed and nuzzled her head to the crook of his neck, sensing his distress. With a bittersweet smile, Jason patted the cat's head.
"It's time's like this I wish Katherine was here to cheer me up."
He looked at the cat again, before smiling the slightest as it purred in content.
"At least one of us is happy..."
