Thetrueazure: I love this week.

Ritsu: Why?

Thetrueazure: Because from the 24th to the 28th, I'm on vacation.

Kazuma: Lucky. At least you can try to update now. Dislcaimer is the same as always, no point in saying it.


"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.41 Like Father Like Son; The Agent of Destruction.

Ritsu stood in front of the door where Yuzuki was, he hesitated when he was about to open the door.

"I don't know why, but I can feel a powerful presence past these doors. Could that be Kazuma's master?" Ritsu train of thought was cut off when he felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned to see Kurogasa and everbody else behind him

"Let's go Ritsu." Kurogasa said

Ritsu nodded "Yeah."


Yuzuki was sitting silently when she heard the door open and Ritsu ran through the door.

"Ritsu!" Yuzuki shot up and ran towards him, wrapping her arms around him

"Yuzuki, thank goodness your OK." Ritsu whispered when everyone else came in. Their reunion was cut short when they heard clapping coming from the desk in front of them with Shin in the shadow.

"Congratulations Chosen Ones." Shin congratulated "You were able to make it to the top, defeat your opponents and pass their tests."

"Give me a break!" Ritsu yelled while holding onto Yuzuki "I could care less about your stupid tests."

Shin chuckled a bit "Yes, you might not have cared about these tests, but it was the only way for all of you to prepare for the final battle." Shin looked at Akira "Akira, User of the Wind, you were able to predict Lester's unpredictable moves." Shin looked at Satoshi "Satoshi, User of Fire, your passion for your friends and unwavering determination was more than enough to best a god." Shin then turned to Nami "Nami, User of Water, your kindness and compassion towards your teammates shows how well you mastered your element." Shin looked at Terra "Terra, User of Earth, you learned that the greatest defense is your greatest offense." Shin finally looked at Ritsu "Ritsu Himuro, User of Light, your leadership and bonds were able to defeat the one that heaven fears. You have grown into a fine young boy."

"What are you talking about?" Ritsu asked "Do I know you?"

Shin shook his head "No, but I know a lot about you." Shin walked out of the shadow causing everyone but the order to gasp in shock

"Dude, is it me or am I seeing double?" Terra asked

"It's not you because I see it too." Akira said

"W-Why the hell do you look like me!" Ritsu demanded an answer from Shin

Shin smiled "My have you grown. My name is Shin Himuro. Ritsu, believe it or not, I'm your father!"

Ritsu's eyes widened in shock "N-No way. Your suppose to be dead, the people at the orphanage told me you were dead!"

"I told them to lie to you about me." Shin explained "It was for your own good."

"For my own good? For my own good!" Ritsu furiously yelled and clenched his fists "I thought you were dead, and here you are right in front of me. Do you have any idea the hell I went through because of that! Do you!"

"Ritsu." Yuzuki whispered

"I can only imagine." Shin said "I know that saying sorry will not make anything better." Shin took a golden duel disk from his desk and attached it to his arm "Either way, the only way you leaving this building is if you defeat me right here."

Ritsu was shaking with rage, so much rage that everyone could sense it. Yuzuki touched Ritsu's hand in an effort to calm him down, she felt Ritsu's hand stop shaking when he looked at her.

"Sorry, guess I almost let my anger get the better of me." Ritsu apologized

"It's OK, you have every right to be mad. Just don't let it cloud your judgment OK." Yuzuki smiled at him

"Alright. Stand back." Yuzuki went over to everyone else when Ritsu activated his duel disk "I hope your ready 'dad', because I don't plan on losing!"

"Then show me you resolve!" Both duelists drew their opening hands

Shin/Ritsu: Duel!

Shin, H: 4000
Ritsu: 4000

"Elders go first." Shin drew his sixth card "I activate the field spell The Sanctuary in the Sky!" The scenery around everyone changed. They were transported to an island with a cathedral behind Shin. "Next I summon Nova Summoner (4/1400/800) in attack mode!" Out of the cathedral came what looked to be a halo with wings "I'll set one card face down and end my turn." One reverse card appeared

"My move!" Ritsu drew his sixth card "I summon Axe Dragonute (4/2000/1200) in attack mode!" Ritsu's armored dragon knight appeared on the field "Now attack his Nova Summoner!"

"Ritsu wait!" Yuzuki yelled, but the dragon already cut the halo in half.

Ritsu looked confused "Why aren't your life points decreasing, your monster was in attack mode?"

Shin chuckled "I forgot to mention this, while The Sanctuary in the Sky is face up on the field, I take no battle damage involving fairy types."

"Wait, so how is Ritsu suppose to deal damage if it's just going to get negated?" Kuraki wondered

"I'm not sure." Keira said "But we still have to believe in him."

"After Axe Dragonute battles, he switches to defense mode!" Axe Dragonunte knelt down on one knee and used his axe as a shield.

"Nova Summoners effect activates whenever it's destroyed in battle. Now normally I would have to special summon a fairy type with 1500 or less attack points, but since The Sanctuary in the Sky is face up on the field, I'm allowed to special summon Airknight Parshath (5/1900/1400)!" Out of the cathedral came a young man who's bottom half was a horse. He had blue and gold armor and was carrying a sharp blade.

"You triggered the effect of the Dragon Ice (5/1800/2200) in my hand! Whenever you special summon a monster, I can discard one card from my hand in order to special summon him, so I discard one card in order to special summon him in defense mode!" A dragon made out of ice landed in front of Ritsu, ready to protect it's master. "I set one card face down and end my turn!" One reverse card appeared.

"My turn!" Shin drew his next card and started to laugh "Let the judgment begin, I activate the continuous spell card Solidarity! So now all of my fairy type monsters gain 800 attack points because I control only one type!" Airknight Parshath's sword glowed a lot brighter (1900-2700) "Now I summon The Agent of Miracles - Jupiter (4/1800/1000) in attack mode!" A crimson winged tan skinned man with markings all over his body appeared on the field and gained a boost from the effects of Solidarity (1800-2600)

"Great." Ritsu groaned

"Airknight Parshath attack his Axe Dragonute!" Airknight Parshath cut the armored dragon in half, causing Ritsu to scream in pain

Shin, H: 4000
Ritsu: 2500

"W-What the hell happened?" Ritsu asked while clutching his side in pain.

"Airknight Parshath can inflict piercing damage, and when he successfully inflicts damage, I'm allowed to draw one card." Shin drew one card "Jupiter, attack his Dragon Ice now!" Jupiter flew full speed towards the ice dragon

"Not If my Dragon's Barrier has anything to say about it!" A barrier blocked Jupiter's assault "My dragon is safe from destruction!"

"Not bad. I end my turn."

"My move!" Ritsu drew his next card "I play Spellbook Inside the Pot!" Both players drew three times "I now summon Red Eyes Black Chick (1/800/500) in attack mode!" A small crimson egg appeared on the field and shattered, revealing a miniature version of the famed Red Eyes Black Dragon "I activate his effect, allowing me to sacrifice him in order to special summon my Red Eyes Black Dragon (7/2400/2000)!" The baby black dragon disappeared in a column of crimson black flames and it's adult version appeared. "But I'm not through yet! I sacrifice my Red Eyes!"

"Wait but what's more powerful then that?" Terra wondered when he saw Red Eyes being enveloped by a sphere of dark flames "W-What's happening?"

"I summon the Red Eyes Darkness Dragon (9/2400/2000)!" The sphere broke and showed Red Eyes in a different form. It had a shiny black form with golden stripes and six black wings "This card can only be summoned by using Red Eyes Black Dragon as a sacrifice. For every dragon type in my graveyard, he gains 300 attack points!" Three beams shot out from Ritsu's graveyard as the dark dragon absorbed them (2400-3300).

"Ritsu's got field advantage now!" Nami said with joy

"Now attack his Parshath with Darkness Giga Flare!" Red Eyes Darkness Dragon fired a concentrated stream of dark flames at the knght, burnig him to a crisp. However, because of the sanctuary, Shin was safe from the damage. "I'll throw two cards face down and end my turn." Two reverse cards appeared.

"My turn." Shin drew his card and looked at it "I play Graceful Charity, drawing three cards and discarding two." Shin drew three times and discarded two fairy types "Next I remove Jupiter from play!" Jupiter disappeared in a flash of light. When he vanished, violent flames erupted behind Shin "Come forth, Master Hyperion (8/2700/2100)!" A giant man in pitch black armor with golden accents appeared on the field, gaining power from Solidarity (2700-3500)

"Shin, let's do this." Hyperion said

"Gladly! I activate Master Hyperion's effect! Now normally once per turn I would remove from play a light fairy type monster from my graveyard in order to destroy one card you control, however since The Sanctuary in the Sky is face up on the field, I can use his effect twice per turn!"

"You know, I'm really starting to hate that field spell." Satoshi said "Not only does it negate battle damage involving fairy types, but it also unlocks other effects of certain fairies."

"I remove The Agent of Force - Mars (3/0/0) and The Agent of Wisdom - Mercury (4/0/1700) in order to destroy both of your face downs!" Two orbs of light appeared in both of Hyperion's hands

"I activate my face down card Mystical Space Typhoon and target your Sanctuary for destruction!" A violent typhoon ripped through the island, but Shin looked unfazed.

"Son, you still have a lot to learn, I activate the counter trap Divine Punishment!" The top of the cathedral fired a light ray though the typhoon, destroying it completely while Hyperion's flames annihilated the other face down Mirror Force. "Hyperion, destroy his Darkness Dragon with Supernova Burst!" Hyperion created a mass of flames in his hands and fired a powerful stream of flames at the dark dragon, destroying it completely and sending Ritsu over the edge of the island and grabbing the ledge.

Shin, H: 4000
Ritsu: 2300

"RITSU!" Everyone yelled while Ritsu was hanging on for dear life

"Like hell I'm dying here!" Ritsu mustered up the strength to pull himself up from certain death "OK, I'm not going through that again!"

"I set two cards face down and end my turn." Two reverse cards appeared

"My turn!" Ritsu drew his next card "Since I need some extra cards, I play Card of Demise, I draw until I'm holding five cards. Downside, I have to get rid of my entire hand at my 5th standby phase." Ritsu drew until he was holding five cards "Nothing good, I'll just have to stall right now." Ritsu thought "I set five cards face down and end my turn." Five reverse cards appeared on the field.

"Looks like Ritsu didn't get any monsters through Card of Demise." Yuzuki said with worry in her voice

"Don't worry, I'm sure those cards are to stall until he gets something." Kurogasa reassured her "Come one Ritsu, your better then this. Your acting the same way when me and Nami first met you."


13 Years ago Satellite Orphanage

A 5 year old Ritsu sat on a bench with a depressed look on his face as he watched the other kids playing and having fun. He was looking at a certain card.

"Hey." Ritsu heard a voice and looked up to see both a girl and a boy his age, the girl sat right next to him "What are you looking at?"

"A duel monster card." Ritsu said in a depressed voice

The girl looked at the card "Red Eyes Black Dragon? That's a powerful card. Where did you get it?"

"Nami, quit asking him questions, your making him uncomfortable." The boy said

The girl named Nami puffed her cheeks "Well I can't help it if I'm-"

"It was my dads." They looked at him "At least that what the people in the orphanage said to me. I never knew my dad, and this is all I have."

Nami was deep in thought when it hit her "I know! Why don't we be your friends?"

Ritsu had a surprised look on his face "Huh?"

Nami smiled "Yeah." Nami held out her hand "I'm Nami Stratous, and this is Kurogasa Kururugi. What's yours?"

The look in Ritsu's eyes began to grow brighter with every passing second.

"Ritsu, Ritsu Himuro."


"After that day, you didn't have that depressed look on you. You were happy, you had friends." Kurogasa thought "And that's why I know you'll win!"

"It's my turn now." Shin drew his next card "I summon the tuner monster The Agent of Mystery - Earth (2/1000/800) in attack mode!" A beautiful pale white woman with green and blue wings, wearing a green dress appeared on the field "When she's summoned, I'm allowed to add one Agent monster from my deck to my hand, so I add another The Agent of Force - Mars (3/0/0) to my hand."

"No don't tell me!" Kazuma stepped back

"What? What's going to happen Kazuma?" Iris asked in confusion.

"He's going to synchro summon his strongest card." Lester said

"Prepare yourself my son, for the ultimate judgment!" Shin emitted a powerful aura "I tune my level 8 Master Hyperion with my level 2 Agent of Mystery - Earth!" The Agent of Mystery - Earth turned into two synchro gates and encircled Master Hyperion, turning him into eight stars.

The time for judgement has arrived, the Agents shall bring forth the ultimate destruction, as you descend, pass judgement on your foes!

The sky started to grow dark as lightning started to crash down on the island and violent wind threatened to blow away everyone "Synchro Summon!" A giant tornado surrounded the island causing more winds to blow Ritsu back a few feet

"What the hell is going on!" Ritsu wondered

"The greatest of the Agents, (Azure) The Agent of Destruction - Asteroid (10/3500/2600)!" The tornado suddenly vanished, making Ritsu look up, making him and everyone else shiver in fright.

"W-What the hell is that!" What Ritsu saw was a pure white dragon floating in the sky. This wasn't the part that made Ritsu afraid, no what made him afraid was how big the dragon was. It took up the entire sky!

"The Agent of Destruction - Asteroid, the strongest of all the Agents, and the most deadly. He's the only Agent that's not a fairy type, but he is treated as one while he's on the field meaning he gets the 800 points from Solidarity!" The monstrous dragon let out a deafening roar, causing the entire sanctuary to shake (3500-4300)

"4300 attack points!" Ritsu yelled "It's OK, my face downs will keep me safe."

"That's what you think. I activate Asteroid's special ability! If The Sanctuary in the Sky is face up on the field, all of your cards are annihilated, and you take 400 points of damage for every card!"

"What!" Asteroid sent out a shock wave destroying all of Ritsu's cards

"Since he destroyed five cards, you take 2000 points of damage!" Ritsu looked up and saw a meteorite coming straight at him, exploding on contact and causing him to scream in pain.

Shin, H: 4000
Ritsu: 300

When the smoke cleared, Ritsu was face down on the floor unconscious

"Ritsu!" Yuzuki yelled

"This is bad, Ritsu is behind over 3000 points, he has no cards on the field and nothing in his hand." Kurogasa thought "Ritsu you better think of something."

Ch.41 End


Thetrueazure: Man I am on a roll this week.

Kazuma: Yeah you are. Stay tuned for next chapter.


Ritsu: No cards on the field, no cards in my hand, 300 life points left and my dad is untouched. Will I be able to beat these odds, or will I get judgement passed on me?

Next Time: Yugioh 5D's Power of the Six Elements; A New Power
