Thetrueazure: A yes, fall is setting in. I have to say I vastly prefer fall over summer.

Asuka: Why?

Thetrueazure: Well for starters, fall won't be over 100 FREAKING DEGREES!

Asuka: Really 100 degrees is kind of cold to me.

Thetrueazure: Dear god, what the hell are you? We own nothing.

"I'll start my turn." Hogo drew his next card and smiled slightly. "Let me tell you this Light User, you will not beat me. My master will rule both this world and the spirit world."

"D-Damn." Ritsu coughed up some blood. "Do your worst."

"With pleasure. I activate the spell card Card of Santity!" Both of them drew until they had six cards. "Next I activate the quick play spell Photon Lead! With this card, I can special summon a level 4 or lower Light monster from my hand in attack mode! I special summon Fairy Archer (3/1400/600) in attack mode!" A fairy in a blue dress with a bow and arrow appeared on the field.

"Here comes his combo." Satellizer smirked.

"Now I activate the quick play spell card Inferno Reckless Summon! I can only activate this card when I special summon a monster with 1500 attack points or less and you have a face up monster on the field, we are now allowed to special summon additional copies to the field! I special summon two more Fairy Archers!" Two more archers appeared on the field.

"I special summon two more Axe Dragonutes in attack mode!" Ritsu said as two more axe wielding dragons appeared (2000-1800)x2.

"Now since I control at least 2 Light monsters, I can special summon Guardian of Order (8/2500/1200) in attack mode!" A bright flash of light brought a knight in silver armor with gold lines. "With this, your fate is sealed."

Ch.64 Falling into the Darkness

"My my." Satellizer grinned. "Look at you Light User, you're like that foolish Kenshin boy."

"What was that?" Ritsu glared at Satellizer.

"My, so quick to anger, but you should be more worried about what's going to happen right now." Satellizer looked at Hogo. "Hogo, be a dear and end this right now."

"With pleasure." Hogo said. "I activate Fairy Archer's ability!" All 3 bows were trained on Ritsu while Guardian of Order reared back his fist.

"This is not good." Akira gritted his teeth.

"Now you take 400 points of damage for every LIGHT monster on my field!" Hogo explained. "So you take 1600 points of damage!"

"Damn it." Ritsu prepared himself.

"Ready?" The archers pulled back a crystal arrow. "Aim…" They each aimed at Ritsu. "Fire!" All of the archers and Guardian fired their individual shots at Ritsu, one arrow nicked his cheek while the other two struck his arms and the orb of light the Guardian fired sent him into the force field.

"Ritsu!" Everyone yelled in unison as Ritsu slid to the floor.

Ritsu: 300
Hogo: 4000

"This is the end, Guardian of Order attack your Axe Dragonute in attack mode!" Guardian of Order ran towards the armored dragon only to be stopped by a force field (2500-2700). "What?" Hogo looked at Ritsu face down on the floor, he also saw his finger pressing a spell and trap card switch.

"I activate…my trap card Draining Shield…stopping your attack and increasing my life points by the same amount." Ritsu forced himself up while golden stardust rained down on him.

Ritsu: 3000
Hogo: 4000

"Hmm, looks like I miscalculated you having Draining Shield this early, I set one card face down and end my turn." One reverse card appeared.

"I draw!" Ritsu drew his next card and looked at it. "I summon Delta Flyer (3/1500/900) in attack mode!" A high speed dragon flew past the duelists. "I activate Delta Flyer's special ability, I increase my Dragonute's level by 1!" Axe Dragonute roared as it received some power (4-5).

"Oh, here comes the leader of the Elemental Dragons Hogo." Satellizer said.

"I tune my level 5 Axe Dragonute with my level 3 Delta Flyer!" Delta Flyer turned into three synchro gates and surrounded Axe Dragonute, turning him into five 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)!

Raikou appeared on the field with a deafening roar and stared down the four monsters Hogo had in a weakened state (3000-2200).

"And before I attack, I activate the quick play spell card Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your Burden of the Mighty!" A wild tornado destroyed Hogo's spell card as Raikou regained his power (2200-3000). "Attack his first Fairy Archer with Heaven's Wrath!"

"I'll show you what happens when you hurt my master!" Raikou fired a massive fireball at Fairy Archer, engulfing her in one shot.

Ritsu: 3000
Hogo: 2400

"He's fighting back!" Kuraki cheered.

"I activate the spell card Card of Sanctity!" Both duelists drew until they were holding six cards. "I end my turn."

"I draw." Hogo drew his next card and looked at it. "I activate my trap card Solar Ray, dealing you 600 points of damage for every LIGHT monster I control! I control three LIGHT monsters, so you take 1800 points of damage!" All three monsters on Hogo's field fired a concentrated ball of light at Ritsu which brought him to one knee in pain.

Ritsu: 1200
Hogo: 2400

"Next I activate Fairy Archer's ability! You now take 900 points of damage!" The archers and Guardian fired another concentrated ball of light at Ritsu, knocking him on his back.

Ritsu: 300
Hogo: 2400

"Oh man." Shinji said. "Just when you think Ritsu's getting some momentum going, his opponent stops him in his tracks."

"This is bad, if this keeps up then the Light Seal will shatter." Melody said in a worried tone.

"I set one card facedown and end my turn." One more reverse card appeared.

"Damn." Ritsu thought while he tried to stand up. "At this rate I'm going to lose."

"Just face it Light User, nothing you do will change the fact that you're going to lose!" Satellizer said with a hint of joy.

"Shut up!" Ritsu yelled and placed his hand on top of his deck. "I draw!"

"Ritsu's planning to end it right here." Kurogasa thought and looked at Hogo. "So why does he seem so calm?"

"I activate the spell card Dragon's Mirror! I remove my two Axe Dragonutes and three other dragon cards from my hand and fusion summon my Five Headed Dragon (12/5000/5000)!" Ritsu's massive multi-headed dragon appeared with a deafening roar.

"Is that it?" Hogo asked.

"I'm just getting warmed up! I activate the spell card Gift of Martyr!" Ritsu said as the spell card appeared. "I sacrifice my Five Headed Dragon and transfer all of his attack points to Raikou!" Five Headed Dragon turned into a ball of light and entered Raikou, giving him a massive power boost (3000-8000).

"8000 attack points!" Jihl said in shock. "Not only that, but Raikou's ability can give him a possible 12,000 attack points."

"Come on Big bro!" Miharu yelled.

"This is the end! I activate Raikou's ability!" Ritsu said and discarded Lightpulsar Dragon. "Since I discarded Lightpulsar Dragon, Raikou gains his attack points, which is 2500!" Raikou absorbed the image of Lightpulsar Dragon and grew more powerful (8000-10,500).

"You may have made Raikou the strongest monster on the field, but that won't last long." Hogo said with a small smile.

"We'll see about that! Raikou, attack his Fairy Archer with Heavens Wrath!" Raikou was preparing to fire a massive fireball at Fairy Archer.

"Like I said, it won't last long! I activate my trap card Lumenize!" Hogo's facedown card flipped face up which shocked everyone.

"No way." Ritsu muttered.

"Since you decided to attack me, Lumenize stops your attack since I control a LIGHT monster." Raikou's fireball vanished into thin air. "Not only that, all those attack points on Raikou, are transferred to a LIGHT monster of my choosing."

"Are you serious!?" Akira said in shock. "That means any one of his monsters will gain 10,500 attack points!"

"I think I'll give my Guardian the attack points." The Guardian of Order let out a huge battle cry as he received a huge surge of power (2500-13,000). "Are you finished?"

"I…end my turn." Ritsu said in defeat while he fell to his knees.

"N-No way, R-Ritsu can't lose." Nami said and looked at Akira. "Please tell me he's not going to lose!" Akira looked away from Nami while she stepped back. "No way."

"It's time I finished this for my master, I draw." Hogo drew his next card. "Guardian of Order, in the name of the great Apollyon, destroy Raikou and the Light User!" Guardian of Order fired a massive concentrated ball of light at Raikou, destroying him and what little points Ritsu had.

Ritsu: 0
Hogo: 2400: Winner

Everyone was silent as the field vanished and they saw Ritsu facedown on the asphalt.

"H-Hey, this is a joke r-right?" Yuzuki asked, not wanting to hear the answer.

"I'm afraid it's no joke my dear." Satellizer said. "Your little boyfriend lost in the shadow duel like I planned." Apollyon appeared beside Satellizer while Raikou appeared in front of Ritsu's motionless body.

"I must say Raikou, I expected more from you and your little master." Apollyon taunted Raikou while the Elemental Seal on his chest shattered and he became enveloped in a dark aura. "I must say, it feels quite nice being whole again."

"Apollyon!" Apollyon looked and saw Satoshi and the others summon their Elemental Dragons. "You're not leaving this place alive! I can assure you that!"

Apollyon laughed hysterically and looked at Apollo. Leviathan, KazeRyu, and Golem. "What can you three do? Begone!" Apollyon sent a dark pulse which took out Apollo, Leviathan and Golem, as well as the Order and everyone else. "Hmm? You people look so pitiful, I'll be merciful and let you guys live and see your world fall by my hands, hahahahaha!" Apollyon, Satellizer and Hogo vanished into thin air.

At the Order.

Yuki placed Keira in a bed and pulled the covers over her. She then saw Shin and the others. Shin didn't make any eye contact with her so she knew what happened.

"Bring him in here." Yuki said as she tried not to tear up when they brought Ritsu in and placed him on the other bed.

"The seal was shattered the moment he lost." Shin explained. "I hate to say it, but I'm out of options."

"We, have only one option." Yuki said as she started to shake. "We fight, we fight until we win. I will make them pay for what they did to my son."

"Damn it!" Satoshi punched a nearby wall in anger. "First Krad and now Ritsu! Everything's going to hell in a blink of an eye!"

"I hate to say it, but your right." Nami said. "The seal is completely shattered." Nami looked at Yuzuki who was holding Ritsu's deck as Raikou appeared.

"I-I'm sorry Yuzuki, if only I was strong enough, Ritsu would still be here."

Yuzuki shook her head. "It's not your fault."

"Well, all we can do now is wait." Akira said.

Apollyon was eveloped in a dark sphere while Satellizer, Hogo, Hero and Shin started out at the city.

"My, my, We're ahead of schedule." Satellzier said with a grin and looked at Hero. "So what should we do now? Should we toy with them?"

"Do whatever you want." Hero said. "Apollyon is going to need some time getting accustomed to his old power."

"You just practically handed me a hand grenade." Satellzier smiled. "We'll just wait, they're in so much shock they won't be able to do anything when the darkness falls." Satellizer began to laugh while there were four glowing red eyes coming from the dark sphere.

Ch.64 End

Thetrueazure: So the Elemental Seal is shattered and Apollyon is growing stronger. How will the rest of the Elemental Dragons counter? Stay tuned.

Satoshi: Damn it Apollyon, he was able to strike us at our weakest and we lost our leader. Now the seal is shattered and Apollyon is at full power. What are we going to do?
