0713MM: Well, I'm glad I finally got Rio off of me.

Rio: Good for you. (her eyes flash the color of ice).

Dumon: (sighs) Chapter start.

Chapter 11: Tag Duel: Dumon and Rio vs. Chaos Emperors Dark Dumon and Marin Part 2

"Archfiend Seraph, attack Dumon directly!" ordered Dark Dumon Archfiend Seraph took out its archer and took out a arrow, and pulled the arrow back, aiming at Dumon.

"Fire your Demon's Arrow!" Dark Dumon ordered. Archfiend Seraph did just that. Rio turned to face Dumon. Shock on her face.

"DUMON! NO!" screamed Shark and Rio. Dark Dumon began to laugh. The arrow shot Archfiend Seraph pierced at Dumons' heart. Then, pain ensued throughout Dumons' body.

"Urgh, argh!" screamed Dumon as he flew backward and doing a few flips through the air, and then falling to the ground on his back, his life points then depleted from 4000 to 100. Tori and Rio covered their mouths.

"This isn't good." Yuma said. "An attack like that will hurt real bad." Shark nodded in agreement.

"I agree Yuma." Shark said.

"I place 1 card facedown and end my turn. You're up, Dumon." Dark Dumon said as he slapped his chosen card facedown. Dumon got up slowly. The pain from the attack hurt badly. Dumon began to shake with fear and terror.

No! It can't end like this! he thought. I must protect Shark and Rio at all costs. Even if one of those costs is my life. And I may not want to admit this to Rio, but I love her! I'll have to admit it eventually, but not now. Rio looked at Dumon, worried.

"Dumon?" she asked curiously. "Something wrong?" Dumon turned to look at her, he shook his head.

"I'm fine Rio." Dumon replied. "Thanks for asking though." Rio nodded, then she turned back to face their opponents.

"It's my turn...I draw!" Dumon shouted, but the shout declaring his turn was a bit weak. Dark Dumon and Marin smirked.

"Just give up, Dumon." Dark Dumon said. "You're nothing but a knight with a broken shield." Dumons' eyes widened.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"I mean that you can no longer protect the ones you love." Dark Dumon clarified. Dumon stared at his darkself for a moment, then he closed his eyes, a smile forming on his face.

"Why are you smiling?" Dark Dumon asked, confused.

"Because me and Rio will win this duel." Dumon responded. Dark Dumon laughed.

"Oh yeah? How will you do that?" Dark Dumon asked.

"You'll see." Dumon replied. "I activate the trap card, Xyz Reborn! This allows me to revive my Number 44: Sky Pegasus!" Sky Pegasus then returned from the grave, neighing in response. Dark Dumon just stared.

"And Xyz Reborn has another effect." Dumon explained. "It becomes Sky Pegasuss' overlay unit." Sky Pegasuss' overlay units: 0-1.

"I activate Sky Pegasuss' special ability." Dumon said. "Once per turn, I can detach 1 overlay unit to destroy 1 faceup monster on your field." Sky Pegasus then absorbed the overlay unit. Dumon pointed at Archfiend Seraph. Dark Dumon laughed.

"Have you forgotten its' special effect?" Dark Dumon asked. Dumon shook his head.

"No, I haven't." Dumon replied. Dark Dumon stared at Dumon.

"I activate Archfiend Seraphs' special ability! By detaching 2 overlay units, my monster is not destroyed." Dark Dumon explained. Dumon curled his mouth into a smile. Dark Dumon looked at Dumon.

"What?" Dark Dumon asked.

"Simple." Dumon replied. "Now your monster has no overlay units now, and plus, it lost its' 1000 point bonus because the Xyz Unit equip spelll card is treated like an overlay unit." Archfiend Seraphs' overlay units: 2-0. Dark Dumon growled. Dumon turned to face Rio.

"Activate Number 94's special ability." Dumon said. Rio turned to face him, then nodded.

"I activate Number 94's special ability!" Rio declared. "By detaching one overlay unit, I can cut one of your monsters attack points in half, and the monster I choose is Archfiend Seraph." Archfiend Seraphs' attack points: 2900-1450. Dark Dumon growled. Dumon thrusted his hand forward.

"Now Sky Pegasus, attack Archfiend Seraph with Sky Charge!" Dumon ordered. Ram!

"Ugh!" Dark Dumon growled as his monster was destroyed and he flew back a bit, his life points depleting from 4000-3650. Yuma pumped his fist.

"There you go Dumon!" Yuma shouted. Dumon then began to smile.

"Huh?" asked Dark Dumon.

"Trap activate! Double Strike!" shouted Dumon as the trap card revealed itself. "With this trap, my monster not only doubles its attack points, but it also gets to attack again." explained Dumon. Dark Dumons' eyes grew wide.

"Say what?!" he cried out.

"Go Sky Pegasus, attack Dark Dumon directly with Sky Charge!" Dumon ordered. Sky Pegasus neighed and rammed its head into its target.

"Whaaa!" screamed a shocked Dark Dumon as he flew backward and his life points depleting from 3650-50. Dumon pulled a card from his hand and activated it.

"I activate the spell card, Cup of Ace. With this card, me and Rio will be able to draw to cards if the coin lands on heads, if not, then you and Dark Marin draw two cards." Dumon explained. Shark looked at Dumon.
"Dumon, what's wrong with you?" asked Shark. "You never use luck in a duel." Dumon turned to look at Shark, then smiled.

"I just feel lucky." was his reply. Shark shrugged. Dumon flipped the coin and it landed on heads. Dumon curled his mouth into a smile.

"Now me and Rio draw two cards." he said as he drew his two cards. Rio did the same.

"I place two cards facedown and end my turn. You're up, Dark Marin." Dumon said. Dark Marin nodded.

"Indeed it is, I draw!" she shouted. She turned the card to see what it is. Her facial expression changed to a smirk. Dumon and Rio looked at Dark Marin.

No! She couldn't have drawn Rank-up Magic: Barian's Force! thought Dumon. Dark Marin showed the card she drew to prove her point.

"No!" Shark shouted. Dark Marin laughed.

"Oh yes! Now I activate it! I rebuild the overlay network with Ragnazero! Go Chaos Xyz Evolution! I Xyz summon Number C103: Ragnafinity!" Ragnafinity began twirling her scythe around and then showed her full appearance. Number C103: Ragnafinity, rank 5, attack: 2800, defense: 2400.

"The 2nd effect of Barian's Force activates. Now I take Number 94: Crystalzero's one and only overlay unit." explained Dark Marin. Crystalzeros' overlay units: 1-0. Ragnafinitys' overlay units: 2-3. Rio growled in anger and frustration. DarK Marin turned to face her partner.

"Partner if you please?" she asked. Dark Dumon nodded.

"Right. I activate the trap, Xyz Reborn to revive my Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry." Dark Dumon said. Star Seraph Sentrys' overlay units: 0-1.

"Next I activate Star Seraph Sentrys' ability! By detaching one overlay unit, I can target one monster on your field and cut its attack in half, also its effects are negated. And I choose Ice Princess Zerort." Dark Marin said. Rio growled as her monsters' attack got cut in half. Dark Marin smirked.

"I now activate Ragnafinitys' special effect! By detaching one overlay unit, I can banish one monster whose attack is different from its original attack. So, say bye bye to Ice Princess!" Dark Marin laughed. Rio growled again as her monster was banished from the field. Ice Princess Zerort cried out pain as the chains dragged her down into the abyss.

"No Ice Princess!" Rio cried out, her life points depleted from 2500 to 1250. Dark Marin thrusted her hand forward.

"Star Seraph Sentry, attack Crystalzero with Lightning Cluster!" ordered Dark Marin. Star Seraph Sentry raised his bow and arrow and fired an arrow straight at Crystalzero. The arrow connected and destroyed it.

"Ugh!" Rio cried out as her life points depleted from 1250 to 950.

"RIO!" Shark screamed in agony.

"Ragnafinity, attack Rio directly!" Dark Marin laughed. Ragnafinity did as ordered and threw her scythe at Rio. Rio watched the scythe travel closer to her. She closed her eyes.

I'm sorry Dumon! Rio thought. I failed you.

"RIO! NO!" Shark and Dumon screamed in agony.
