Thetrueazure: Hey guys! Looks like Ritsu will be having his rematch this chapter.
Kazuma: I should warn you Ritsu, I won't be holding back.
Ritsu: Right back at you Kazuma.
Thetrueazure: OK, before these two start exchanging blows, for my poll, instead of doing 100, I'm just going to do 10, reason being is that it would take awhile. anyways, you guys know the disclaimer so on with the chapter.
"Then I guess it's my turn!" Iris drew her next card "I activate my two trap cards, Rising Energy and Strike Slash!" Iris activated her two trap cards "Rising Energy allows me to increase Zidane's attack points by 1500 points just by discarding a card." Iris discarded one so that Zidane's attack points would rise (2000-3500) "And Strike Slash increases his attack points by 700 plus the ability to do piercing damage!" Zidane's lance became a lot sharper (3500-4200)
"Oh man, this is bad." Terra said out loud.
"It's about to get a lot worse because I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy the middle card!" A typhoon ripped apart Terra's Half Shield "Zidane! Use your Ultima Weapon and end this duel!" Zidane jumped towards Golem with his new power (4200-5700)
"If that attack goes through then Terra's done for!" Kurogasa said
"Don't worry about it, because I play the trap Castle Walls, so now Golem's defense points are 500 points stronger!" Golem tried to deflect the blade wing his wings (3000-3500)
"But you still take 2200 points of damage!" The shock wave hit Terra dead on, pushing him back a few feet
Iris: 2900
Terra: 400
"It's over."
"Yeah, for you!" Terra's face down card flipped up "I activate the trap card Staunch Defender! Now your other monsters are now forced to battle with Golem!"
Iris's eyes widened in shock "T-Then that means-"
"Golem's defense is now your undoing!" Terra yelled as Cecil and Tifa attacked Golem, but were pushed back by Golem's immense power, dropping Iris's life points down to zero
Iris: 0
Terra: 400: Winner
"Awww man! I lost!" Iris yelled "And I was so close!"
"You did good Iris." Kazuma said as he walked in front of her "Now it's my turn. Are you ready Light User?"
Ritsu walked up and activated his duel disk "Do you even have to asked?"
"Wait Kazuma!" Iris said, causing Kazuma to turn around towards her. She then kissed Kazuma on the lips "Good luck."
"I'll be fine." Kazuma said "Ready Ritsu!"
"Yeah!" Both duelists drew their opening hands
Ritsu/Kazuma: Duel!
Ch.40 Clash of the Elements; Heaven's Destruction
Ritsu/Kazuma: Duel!
Ritsu: 4000
Kazuma: 4000
Kurogasa turned around and saw Akira and co. entering the room when the duel started.
"Kurogasa, Kuraki, Terra!" Akira shouted as everybody ran towards them "What happened?"
"We made it but Kazuma and Iris are standing in our way, Terra's already beat Iris in a duel, now all that's left is Kazuma and Ritsu." Kuraki said when she noticed something "Where's Krad?"
Keira looked away from them "We have a big problem."
"I'll take the first turn!" Kazuma drew his sixth card "I summon Biofalcon (4/1700/1200) in attack mode!" The cybernetic falcon Kazuma summoned their last duel appeared on the field "Next I equip him with the spell card 7 Complete, this will give him 700 attack and defense points!" Biofalcon's eyes glowed brightly (1700-2400/1200-1900) "I'll set two cards face down and end my turn!" Two reverse cards appeared "Now, show me what you got!"
"Gladly! I draw!" Ritsu drew his sixth card "I play the spell card Sparkling of the Light Dragon! Here's the deal, I send 2 dragon type monsters from my hand to the graveyard in order to special summon one light dragon type monster from my deck!" Ritsu sent an Axe Dragonute and a Alexandrite Dragon to the graveyard "Now I can special summon a Light type dragon monster and I have the perfect one! Say hello to Lightpulsar Dragon (6/2500/1500)!" In a bright flash of light, a dragon came out with light blue scales and white armor plates on it's legs, body, and head.
"That's new." Satoshi said in amazement
Apollo and the other dragons appeared "It seems Ritsu has been working on his deck."
"I have a feeling that Kazuma's deck isn't the same as before either." Kazeryu said
In the Other Room
Shin and Yuzuki were watching the duel on an air display. Shin saw Ritsu summon Lightpulsar Dragon and cracked a smile.
"Very good my son, show me your resolve." Shin thought
Yuzuki looked at him "Does Ritsu know about this?"
Shin shook his head "No, he doesn't even know I'm alive."
Yuzuki's eyes widened "Wait, your telling me your own son thinks your dead? What kind of father are you!" Yuzuki caught a cold glare from Shin and recoiled in fright. She looked back at the air display "Ritsu, please be careful."
"I'm not done yet! Next I remove my DARK Axe Dragonute and my LIGHT Alexandrite Dragon from play in order to special summon another new friend!" The armored dragon and a crystal dragon flew into a dark portal "Appear now! Darkflare Dragon (5/2400/1400)!" A dragon similar to Darkblaze Dragon, only it's scales were much darker appeared right beside it's light counterpart. "Lightpulsar Dragon! Attack his Biofalcon!" Lightpulsar Dragon fired a light ray at the cybernetic falcon, destroying it with little effort.
Ritsu: 4000
Kazuma: 3900
"Darkflare Dragon, attack his life points directly with Hell Flame!" Darkflare Dragon fired a dark fireball at Kazuma
"Ritsu wait!" Raikou said
"I activate my two trap cards Loaner Delivery! When a machine monster I control is destroyed, I'm allowed to special summon a level 4 or below Machine monster from my deck, and since I activated two, I'm allowed to special summon two Machines, so I bring out two more Biofalcons!" Two more cyber falcons entered the field, but only one survived Darkflare Dragons attack.
Ritsu cursed under his breath. he had complete forgot about Kazuma's facedowns
"And when a Machine monster I control is destroyed through battle, Biofalcon allows me to add a Machine type monster with 1000 or less attack points to my hand, so I add my Jade Knight (4/1000/1800) to my hand!" Kazuma added said card to his hand.
"I activate Card of Demise!" Ritsu drew until he was holding five cards "I'll set two cards facedown and end my turn." Two reverse cards appeared
"Then it's my go then." Kazuma calmly drew his next card "I play the spell card Polymerization! I fuse two Cyber Dragons in my hand, so that I can bring out my Cyber Twin Dragon (8/2800/2100) to the field!" A machine similar to Cyber Dragon but with two heads appeared on the field. "My Cyber Twin Dragon can attack twice during the battle phase. I switch my falcon to attack mode and have my dragon attack both of your monsters! Go! Twin Evolution Burst!" Cyber Twin Dragon fired two powerful blasts, destroying both dragons into a thousand pixels
Ritsu: 3300
Kazuma: 3900
"Ritsu is wide open!" Nami said
"My brothers not holding anything back." Miharu said
"Thanks for that, because I activate Lightpulsar's special ability! When this card is sent from the field to the graveyard, I'm allowed to special summon a Level 5 or higher dragon type monster from my graveyard, like my Darkflare Dragon!" The dark fire dragon risen from a column of dark flames
"Well, you saved yourself from a severe hit. I applaud you for that." Kazuma said "I summon Jade Knight (4/1000/1800) in defense mode!" A fighter jet with a Jade Green paint job hovered above Kazuma's head. "Your move."
"Yeah and I better make it count." Ritsu drew his next card "I activate the spell card Dragon Heart, sending 3 Dragon type monsters from my deck to the graveyard for my Darkflare Dragon to gain 1000 attack points, the price is I can't normal summon." Ritsu sent Angel Dragon, Blizzard Dragon, and Barrier Dragon from his deck to the graveyard as Darkflare Dragon roared with more power (2400-3400)
"3400 attack points, your stepping up." Kazuma said
"Darkflare Dragon, attack his Cyber Twin Dragon with Hell Flame!" Darkflare Dragon destroyed the cyber terror with little effort.
Ritsu: 3300
Kazuma: 3300
"You activated Biofalcon's effect, allowing me to add another Jade Knight to my hand."
"All of the monsters in Kazuma's graveyard are light attributed." Iris thought "He's setting up for his ace card."
"I end my turn." Ritsu said
"I draw!" Kazuma drew his next card "I play Pot of Greed in order to draw twice!" Kazuma drew twice. "I summon another Jade Knight in defence mode and I'll set one card face down and end my turn." Another fighter jet and a reverse card appeared on the field.
"Somethings up, the only offensive card he had on the field was his Cyber Twin Dragon. Is he baiting me?" Ritsu thought as he drew his card "I've got three more turn until I lose my entire hand from Card of Demise's adverse effect, so I better make these turns count!" Ritsu slapped a card down on his disk "I summon Axe Dragonute (4/2000/1200) in attack mode!" Ritsu's famous armored dragon appeared on the field "He won't be staying for long, because I'll be removing him from play in order to special summon Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon (10/2800/2400) in attack mode!" The metal version of Red Eyes Darkness Dragon appeared on the field.
"Ritsu's not holding anything back." Akira said "He's got three cards out with over 2000 attack points."
"I play the continuous trap card Dragon's Rage, now all of my dragons can now inflict piercing damage!"
"Your kidding?" Kazuma said
"Let's see if this looks like a joke! Red eyes! Attack his Jade Knight with Darkness Metal Flare!" Red eyes fired a dark fireball at the fighter jet, causing it to crash.
Ritsu: 3300
Kazuma: 2300
"I activate Cards of Last Will, Jade Knight, and Biofalcon's ability!" Kazuma's trap card flipped up "Card of Last Will let's me draw until I'm holding five cards." Kazuma drew until he was holding five cards "Next Jade Knights ability allows me to add a level 4 or below Light Machine type monster from my deck to my hand, so I add my level 3 Proto Cyber Dragon!" Kazuma added his Proto Cyber Dragon to his hand "Next with Biofalcon's effect let's me add my last Jade Knight to my hand." Kazuma also added his final Jade Knight as well.
"Darkflare Dragon, attack his Biofalcon with Hell Flame!" Dark flames comsumed the cybernetic falcon.
Ritsu: 3300
Kazuma: 1600
"Axe Dragonute, you know the drill!" Dragonute swung his axe at the fighter jet, cutting it in half.
Ritsu: 3300
Kazuma: 1400
"Jade Knight's effect activates! I add my second Proto Cyber Dragon to my hand." Kazuma added his second dragon to his hand.
"I end my turn."
"My draw." Kazuma drew his card "I play the spell card Card Destruction, now we discard our entire hand and draw the same amount." Both duelists discarded their entire hand and drew a new one, Kazuma started to chuckle "Your through, light user."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Did you really think you were ahead in this duel. Iwas stringing you along so that I can assemble the needed parts." Kazuma held up a card "And this card will bring forth heavens destruction! I remove all of my Light machine monsters from my graveyard!" A bright light filled the field, nearly blinding everyone
"W-What's going on!" Satoshi asked
"There's no way Kazuma's summoning his most powerful card?" Shinji said
"I special summon the cyber god, CYBER ELTANIN (10/?/?)!" As the light faded, Ritsu looked up to see a giant mechanical dragon head with eleven other heads floating around it "Cyber Eltanin's attack and defense points are equal to the number of Light machine cards I removed from play by 500. I count 12 cards, so you do the math." The Cyber god let out a terrifying roar as it's attack points skyrocketed (?-6000/?-6000)
"6000 attack points!" Kurogasa said "If Ritsu get hit by that, there's no telling what would happen!"
"I activate Cyber Eltanin's second effect which is sends all other monsters on the field straight to the grave!" Eltanin sent out a shock wave, sending all of Ritsu's monsters to the graveyard
"My dragons!" Ritsu looked at the cyber god, if he got hit by that direct attack, well let's just say that it wasn't a pleasant thought.
"This is the end, Eltanin, attack Ritsu directly! Dragonic Constellation!" All twelve dragon heads fired a concentrated blast towards Ritsu
"Ritsu!" Yuzuki yelled
"I play my trap card Half Shield, cutting all damage in half!" A barrier blocked the majority of the blast, but it shattered under the pressure "Well, this is going to hurt...a lot." The blast collided with Ritsu, sending him skidding across the floor in pain
Ritsu: 300
Kazuma: 1400
"I'll end my turn right there." Kazuma said "If your still alive it's you turn."
"Owwwww!" Ritsu groaned as he stood up dusting himself off "I think I'm still seeing stars."
"Ritsu are you OK?" Raikou asked in concern
"If fine Raikou, though I am going to be really sore tomorrow." Ritsu looked at Kazuma "That's a pretty powerful card you have there."
"Thanks. It's your turn." Kazuma smiled
"Then I guess I draw!" Ritsu drew his card "I send my Dark Demon Dragon and my second Alexandrite Dragon in order to special summon Lighpulsar Dragon from my graveyard!" Ritsu's light dragon appeared on the field "Next I play Card of Sanctity!" Both players drew until they were holding six cards "Now I play the spell card Monster Reborn so that I can bring back Angel Dragon (2/1000/1000)!" Ritsu's favorite tuner landed on his shoulder
"Raikou's coming." Miharu said
"I tune my level 6 Lightpulsar Dragon with my level 2 Angel Dragon!" Angel Dragon turned into two synchro gates and surrounded Lightpulsar Dragon, turning him into six stars
When the stars of heaven converge, they unlock the door to a true salvation, become the light that descends from the heavens! Synchro Summon! The Divine Light, Raikou-The Dragon of the Heavens (8/3000/2400)!
"I hope your monster is ready Kazuma Ishimaru!" Raikou said
"You do know your facing my monster who has 6000 attack points!" Kazuma pointed at Raikou "Even with your effect, you cannot match my monster."
Ritsu smiled "Ready Raikou?"
"Whenever you are." Raikou said
"Raikou, attack Cyber Eltanin!" Raikou charged at the cyber god
"What is he thinking?" Kuraki said "Eltanin is twice as strong as Raikou!"
Kurogasa smiled "Ritsu's fine. Look."
"I activate Honest's effect from my hand! Discarding him so that Raikou gains Eltanin's attack points!" Raikou became enveloped in white flames (3000-9000)
"9000 attack points!" Kazuma stepped back in shock, but regained his composure and smiled "I guess I lost." Raikou went right through the main dragon head, destroying the entire thing.
Ritsu: 300: Winner
Kazuma: 0
"Congratulations Ritsu Himuro, you passed my test." Kazuma said as they shook hands "Yuzuki is beyond those doors, but our master is in there. You mustn't drop your guard for a second because if you do, your done."
Ritsu chuckled "Don't worry about me, I'll win."
Ch.40 End
Thetrueazure: 2 days on this chapter, I think that's a new record.
Ritsu: Yeah I think that is.
Kazuma: Stay tuned for next chapter
Ritsu: We've finally made it to Yuzuki, I'm relieved that she's OK but I've got a bigger problem, the master of the Order happens to be my father who I thought was dead. Believe me when I say you don't want to miss this.
Next Time: Yugioh 5D's Power of the Six Elements; Like Father Like Son, The Agent of Destruction.
