Me: Yeah, I've got another chapter here!

Sky: Did you have trouble with this chapter?

Me: No, my parents just wouldn't let me on the computer as often.

Yusei: Do you have permission now?

Me: Yep! Okay, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds but I do own Sky. Also, if you haven't seen Episode 50, the duel here was taken directly from it. On with the chapter!

Chapter 26

The light dims, and both Luna and I are surrounded by purple fire. Earthbound Immortal Cusillu is standing over us. Leo is the one dueling the Dark Signer, but he seems to be in a bad condition.

"So the Signer decides to show herself at last," the Dark Signer says.

"Leo, are you okay?" Luna asks, ignoring the Dark Signer. Leo smiles weakly.

"I'd be lying if I said yes," he says. "I wanted to beat Devak for you, but I can barely stand. I'm not strong enough to be a hero."

"Leo, in my eyes you're the best a hero can get!" Luna exclaims. The twins hug and start crying.

"Um, I don't mean to interrupt, but isn't there a duel to finish?" I ask.

"I don't know if I can finish it," Leo says.

"I'll finish it then," Luna says. Luna takes Leo's Duel Disk from him. As she straps it on, her Mark lights up.

"Good luck Luna," I say. Devak begins laughing.

"You will be easy pickings for my Immortal," he says. "But first I activate my Continuous Trap Cursed Prison! This card lets me Special Summon a Synchro Monster in Defense mode, ignoring its Summoning conditions."

Devak places Ancient Fairy Dragon (ATK 2100, DEF 3000) on his Duel Disk, making Luna gasp. Ancient Fairy Dragon is stuck in a cage, and is only partially formed. "I think I'll end my turn there," Devak says.

"I'll save you Ancient Fairy Dragon," Luna says as she begins her turn. "I activate Power Tool Dragon's special ability, letting me add a random Equip Spell to my hand." Luna looks at the card.

"I activate the Equip Spell I just added to my hand, Central Shield! Now any Battle Damage I would take in a battle other than with Power Tool Dragon becomes zero," Luna continues.

"Alright Luna, you've got the ultimate shield!" Leo exclaims. He is right, that shield prevents the damage from a direct attack as long as it's on the field, I think.

"I end my own turn with two cards face-down," Luna finishes.

"That means it's my turn," Devak says. "Earthbound Immortal Cusillu, destroy that Signer's toy dragon!" he shouts. The monkey's hand curls into a fist and takes aim at Power Tool Dragon.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I activate the Quick-Play Spell Limiter Removal which doubles all Machine-Type monsters Attack power until the End Phase," Luna counters.

Power Tool Dragon ATK 4000. The monkey's fist collides with the dragon and shakes the arena. I shield the twins from any debris that might have appeared. Devak curses Luna, but then starts laughing. Devak's Life Points: 2100

"You are a fool to defy my Earthbound Immortal," he says. "I play Earthbound Immortal Cusillu's ability, so by sacrificing another monster I can negate its destruction. Also, my opponent's Life Points are halved," Devak adds.

A black circle appears around Luna, shocking her. Luna's Life Points: 200 Leo catches her as she falls. "I'm okay Leo," Luna says as she gets back up. "I knew you were going to do that Devak!" she shouts.

Devak then seemed confused. Luna smiles and continues her strategy. "I play the Continuous Trap Respect Synchron! Now because a Synchro Monster was sent to the Graveyard due to a card effect, I can Special Summon that monster to my side of the field!" Luna says.

Ancient Fairy Dragon appears next to Luna, though she is still in chains and only partially formed. Then Regulus appears and breaks the chains binding her. Ancient Fairy Dragon spreads her wings and finishes forming completely. She lets loose a cry.

"Go for it Luna!" I say. Ancient Fairy Dragon says something to Luna, but I do not hear what it was.

"Grr, I end my turn," Devak says.

"Central Shield is destroyed instead of Power Tool Dragon due to the after effect of Limiter Removal," Luna says. Leo gets up next to her. Leo whispers something into Luna's ear and Luna nods.

"It's our turn!" both twins exclaim, drawing the card together.

"First off, Ancient Fairy Dragon's effect activates, destroying one Field Spell and letting me gain 1000 Life Points," Luna says. The look on Devak's face was priceless when Luna said 'Field Spell'. "Go, Plain Back!"

Ancient Fairy Dragon whips up a whirlwind that clears the field. Earthbound Immortal Cusillu ATK 2800, Luna and Leo's Life Points: 1200 "Earthbound Immortal Cusillu loses its abilities and will be destroyed in the End Phase now that there's no Field," Luna says.

"But we aren't done yet, Power Tool Dragon's ability activates too," Leo says. Both twins pull out the card, smiling.

"I activate the Equip Spell Pain to Power, which I equip to Ancient Fairy Dragon," Luna says.

"And I activate the Equip Spell Rocket Pilder which I equip to Power Tool Dragon," Leo says.

"Go Power Tool Dragon, attack Earthbound Immortal Cusillu with Crafty Break!" both twins shout. The monkey fights back, since its ATK is still higher than the dragon's.

Luna and Leo's Life Points: 400 "Rocket Pilder prevents Power Tool Dragon from being destroyed," Leo says. "But that's not all; Rocket Pilder decreases the monster that just battled my own by the ATK of the equipped monster."

Earthbound Immortal Cusillu ATK 800, Ancient Fairy Dragon ATK 2900. "Pain to Power gives Ancient Fairy Dragon a power boost as well," Luna says. "Finish this, Ancient Fairy Dragon! Attack with Eternal Sunshine!"

I had to look away as Ancient Fairy Dragon filled the field with light. Devak's Life Points: 0 The light dims and Devak is walking towards us as the Monkey Mark disappears. "You will not win… I will drag you down with me!" he shouts.

Devak attempts to grab Luna, but I pull her to safety. Devak then turns into dust. "Nice job Leo and Luna!" a voice calls from behind us. Yusei and a Sector Security officer are running from the top of a hill.

As they get near, Ancient Fairy Dragon and Regulus appear. You have done it Luna, the Spirit World is free, Ancient Fairy Dragon says.

"Uh, is it just me or did that dragon just talk?" the Security asks.

It is not just you Officer Trudge, Ancient Fairy Dragon says, after which the officer faints.

Thank you for freeing us, Regulus says. Already we have begun setting the world right.

"I couldn't have done it without Leo or Sky," Luna says. "Sky helped with the Spirit World half and Leo set up Devak's defeat."

Well then I thank the both of you as well, Ancient Fairy Dragon says.

"Does this mean you'll help us defeat the Dark Signers?" Yusei asks.

We will, Regulus says. Then the two turn into cards and appear in Luna's hands. "Come on, we need to seal this control tower," Yusei says.

"You mean the ones for the old Reactor?" I ask.

"Yeah, Roman said we have to seal the four by sundown or the gates to the Netherworld will open," Yusei says. My mind froze when he said 'Roman'.

"Are you alright Sky?" Luna asks.

"What's Roman's last name?" I ask. It couldn't be that Roman.

"Goodwin. Roman is Rex Goodwin's older brother," Yusei replies.

"It has to be that Roman," I mutter, clenching my fist.

"Aren't we supposed to be sealing the tower?" Leo asks.

"I'll do it," I say. "Luna, I need Ancient Fairy Dragon." Luna hands me the card. I walk up to the tower, quickly having a short flashback.

(Flashback)

My dad is holding a small object in his hands. "What do you have Daddy?" I ask.

"This is a small version of a tower that's going to be built. It will keep the Reactor under control," he replies.

"Cool!" I exclaim. "You're so smart Daddy!" My dad bends down and rubs my head.

"Keep it up and you'll be smarter than me someday," my dad says.

(End Flashback)

A tear runs down my face as I place Ancient Fairy Dragon in the slot. I quickly pull it back out as the tower sinks down.

"That's one down and three to go," Leo says. Trudge walks up behind him.

"I'm fine now, but wasn't there a tower here?" he asks. "First it was a talking dragon and a floating dragon, now a disappearing tower?"

"I think you need some more sleep," Leo says.

"I guess it's my turn now," Yusei says. "I have to defeat Kalin."

"Good luck then Yusei," I say. "I have some business of my own to tend to." Under my breath I say the spell that brings me my Duel Runner. It scares Trudge as well, but he gets over it.

"Is this business important?" Yusei asks as I get on my Runner.

"Yes it is," I reply. Then I start my Runner and race towards the original Reactor. A few minutes later I see the Mark of the Whale in the sky. "Ingram, do you think you could go see who's dueling?" I ask my old Duel Spirit.

Ingram flies off in the direction of the Shadow Mark. She returns not even a minute later. It is your orange-haired friend. I think his name is Crow, Ingram says. She then returns to my Deck.

The Reactor building is in my sights as the Shadow Mark disappears. I hope Crow's the one that won, I think. Soon after, I stop in front of the building. There are two Sector Security helicopters there.

"I didn't know Securities came out here," I say. Erasing the thought I enter the building. This place brings back strong memories, both good and bad, I think.

(Flashback)

"Daddy, can I come with you today?" I ask. "Mommy and Yusei are going too, so I'll be all alone."

My dad thinks it through. "Okay, you can come with us," he says. I grin and get in the car. My mom puts Yusei in a car seat and we leave. Soon enough we stop at a large building.

"Is this where you work?" I ask. My dad nods. "It looks so cool!" I exclaim.

My dad leads me to a small room. There are some toys and a crib inside. "This is where you and Yusei will stay while we work, got that?" my mom asks.

"No problem!" I exclaim. One of the play sets had an extra Duel Monsters Deck. "I'm gonna duel myself!" I shout.

"If you're going to do that, could you be a little quieter?" my dad asks. "I'd prefer it if no one else knew you're alive."

"Okay Daddy," I whisper. My dad rubs my head and leaves along with my mom. So I start dueling myself. The extra Deck stood no chance against my own, but I still had fun. Yusei starts clapping as I finish.

I stick my hand through one of the bars and Yusei tries to bite it. "My hand isn't for biting," I say. I hand him one of his toys. Yusei smiles and starts chewing on it. "Babies are weird," I say.

Suddenly Yusei starts crying. He drops his toy. I quickly pull him out and try to soothe him. "It's okay Yusei, everything is fine," I say in a gentle voice. He is still crying.

Suddenly my mom runs in. I hand her the still-crying Yusei. My mom has a scared look on her face. "What's wrong Mommy?" I ask.

"Roman won't let us stop the Reactor," my mom says. "It's going to explode or worse…"

Emergency lights start flashing. "Come with me Sky," my mom says. I follow her to a larger room where my dad is leaning against the wall.

"Were you able to talk some sense into Roman?" my mom asks.

"No, and he has Ancient Fairy Dragon, so we can't seal Cusillu. Even if the other three could be sealed, it wouldn't matter," my dad replies.

The emergency siren starts flaring now. Yusei starts crying again. My mom hands him to my dad. "Please Hakase, get them to safety," my mom says. She gives me a hug and tells me to follow dad.

My dad leads me down a long hallway where there are several escape pods. He places Yusei in one. "Sky, get in there with Yusei," my dad says. I climb into it.

"What about you Daddy?" I ask. My dad holds something out. He is crying.

"Sky, I love the both of you so much," he says. "Keep your brother and that Deck safe."

"Wait Daddy!" I shout as he pushes the button. There is a flash of light and I faint.

(End Flashback)

I walk into the nursery as the flashback ends. The crib is broken in half, and part of the wall has collapsed. I clench my fist. "You will pay for all that you've Roman," I mutter as I find my way to the center of the building.
