Me: I've got the Internet again!
Sky: Did your dad hide it again?
Me: No, my brother kept hogging it. And I found my Pokémon Black Version that I lost last year and I was playing that in most of the free moments.
Sky: *Facepalms* Just start the chapter already.
Me: Okay! I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds but I do own Sky. This chapter wraps up the second season (first if you go by the Japanese version) so I'm happy!
Chapter 30
"It's my turn then!" Jack shouts. I can hear anger in his voice. Yusei and Jack S.C. 9, Goodwin S.C. 5 "I Summon the Tuner Sinister Sprocket (ATK 400, DEF 0)! Now it Tunes with my Level 3 Magic Hole Golem and Level 4 Mad Archfiend!" the blonde continues.
"The ruler's heartbeats will now file through here! Take witness to its creation-shaking power! Synchro Summon! My very soul, Red Dragon Archfiend (ATK 3000, DEF 2000)!" Jack chants.
"Now I activate my Trap Half Straight, so now by halving Red Dragon Archfiend's ATK, it can attack you directly as long as you have a monster with more power," Jack says.
Red Dragon Archfiend's fist starts glowing. "That is where you are wrong Jack," Goodwin says. "I activate Sun Dragon Inti's second effect; it can reduce its own ATK to zero."
Red Dragon Archfiend ATK 1500, Sun Dragon Inti ATK 0. "Jack, use my Trap card!" Yusei says. "I activate the Continuous Trap Scrubbed Raid, and if I send it to the Graveyard I can end the Battle Phase."
"I can handle this myself Yusei," Jack says. "Continue your attack Red Dragon Archfiend! Attack Sun Dragon Inti with Absolute Powerforce!" Both dragons explode, since Sun Dragon Inti's effect destroys Red Dragon Archfiend.
Goodwin's Life Points: 5400 S.C. 4, Jack's Life Points: 2500 S.C. 8 "When Inti leaves the field, Quilla can return," Goodwin says.
"Then I set one card face-down to end my turn," Jack says.
"It's my turn then," Yusei says. Goodwin S.C 5, Jack S.C 9, Yusei S.C 10 "I activate Junk Archer's ability, so say goodbye to Moon Dragon Quilla!" Yusei shouts.
"I will be saying goodbye to my dragon, but not in this way," Goodwin says. "I activate my Trap Destruct Potion! Now I can destroy Moon Dragon Quilla and gain Life Points equal to its ATK."
Goodwin's Life Points: 7900 "And with the moon destroyed, the sun rises again!" Goodwin exclaims. Sun Dragon Inti returns to the field.
"I end my turn," Yusei says. I guess there wasn't anything more for him to do. Another wave of condors tries to attack Jack and Yusei, and I had to have Celestial Dragon-Sol help the other three dragons.
Goodwin sees that the King of the Netherworld is drawing closer. "When he reaches the shrine, you will all be sacrificed and darkness will reign!" Goodwin says.
"We'll still keep fighting no matter what. There's no way we'll give up," Yusei says. Jack agrees with Yusei.
"If that's how you want it, it's my turn!" Goodwin says. Goodwin S.C. 6, Jack S.C. 10, Yusei S.C. 11
"Before you do anything, I activate the Continuous Trap Fiendish Chain," Jack says. "Now Sun Dragon Inti can't attack or activate its effect."
Good, if Inti had attacked it would have wiped out the rest of Jack's Life Points, I think. But he still has the Earthbound Immortal to worry about.
"Hmph, you may have stopped that way, but Wiraqocha Rasca can still activate its effect," Goodwin says. Jack's Life Points: 1 Fiendish Chain is destroyed since Jack has less than 1000 Life Points.
"Feel the despair of death!" Goodwin shouts. The King of the Netherworld stops moving and lets loose a large beam of energy. It makes its way past our dragons and strikes Jack. His Runner crashes, excluding him from the duel.
"Yusei! Even though my Runner isn't next to you my feeling are!" Jack shouts.
"Jack's right; even though our Life Points are at one, our feelings are at 10000!" Crow adds.
"You have our feelings as well Yusei!" I shout. "Show Goodwin the power of bonds!"
"You can do it Yusei!" Leo adds, hoping all the encouragement we give Yusei will let him win.
"Trying to lessen the fear of death?" Goodwin asks. "It won't do any good. I end my turn with a face-down."
"Our bonds will bring forth victory! It's my turn!" Yusei shouts. Goodwin S.C. 7, Yusei S.C. 12 "Junk Archer, show Sun Dragon Inti the way off the field," Yusei says.
"That trick won't work I'm afraid," Goodwin says. "I activate my Counter Trap Passion of Baimasse, which negates the effect and destroys your Junk Archer."
Junk Archer shatters into bits and pieces. "I Summon Shield Warrior (ATK 800, DEF 1600) in Defense mode and set one card face-down to end my turn," Yusei says.
"Is Shield Warrior your friends' feelings?" Goodwin asks. "It doesn't matter; before Wiraqocha Rasca defense will do no good. It's my turn!" Goodwin S.C. 8, Yusei S.C. 12
"Wiraqocha Rasca, show that Signer the despair of death! Polestar Obey!" Goodwin shouts. Yusei's Life Points: 1, S.C. 9 His Runner wobbles a little, but Yusei manages to stay upright.
"I won't give up so long as there is a flicker of hope!" Yusei says. "So long as my bonds exist, there will always be hope!"
"Very well then, I end my turn," Goodwin says.
"My turn then!" Yusei shouts. Goodwin S.C. 9, Yusei S.C. 10 "I activate my Speed Spell-Angel Baton! As long as I have two Speed Counters, I can draw two cards so long as I discard a card afterwards," Yusei says.
I hope the cards are good enough to turn this duel around, I think. Yusei draws the two cards, grins slightly, and discards one of them.
"I Summon the Tuner Debris Dragon (ATK 1000, DEF 2000) to the field, and using his ability I can bring back the Sonic Chick I just discarded. Now my Level 4 Debris Dragon will Tune with my Level 3 Shield Warrior and Level 1 Sonic Chick!" Yusei shouts.
"Clustering wishes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Take flight, Stardust Dragon (ATK 2500, DEF 2000)!" Yusei chants.
The silver dragon appears in a bright flash of light. "That's how you do it Yusei!" I shout. I hope Stardust Dragon evens up the playing field, I think.
"Your monster is too weak," Goodwin says. "Sun Dragon Inti is stronger."
"I'm well aware of that," Yusei says. "I activate the second effect of Crow's Blackwing-Bombardment Trap card; by sending it to the Graveyard, one Synchro Monster I control gains ATK equal to the ATK of the monster Tributed for the first effect!"
"Show him how we do it Yusei!" Crow says. A ghost version of Blackwing Armor Master appears in front of Stardust Dragon. Stardust Dragon ATK 5000.
"Now Stardust Dragon will attack Sun Dragon Inti! Cosmic Flare!" Yusei shouts. Goodwin's Life Points: 5900, S.C. 7
"Sun Dragon Inti's ability activates, destroying your monster and ending this duel!" Goodwin says.
"I don't think so," Yusei says. "I counter with Stardust Dragon's ability; I can release it in order to negate a destruction effect! Go, Victim's Sanctuary!"
"Fine, but since Inti is gone, Quilla comes back," Goodwin says.
"I have to disagree again," Yusei says. "I play Jack's Continuous Trap Conquest of the Supreme Ruler! When a Synchro Monster destroys another Synchro Monster in battle, I can send this card to the Grave and negate the Summoning of a monster!"
"The chain is finally broken," Luna says.
"That means he has one less thing to worry about," Akiza says.
"Yeah, but that Earthbound Immortal is the one that means business," I say. "I'm sure Yusei will find a way to bring it down," I add, as Leo thought I was saying that Yusei was going to lose.
"I end my turn, and because of that Stardust Dragon returns to the field," Yusei says.
"It's my turn then," Goodwin says. Goodwin S.C. 8, Yusei S.C. 11
"Have you forgotten about Roman?" Yusei asks, seemingly out of the blue. The question takes Goodwin by surprise. "You went against fate when you rode off the Daedalus Bridge, and you were doing it to reach your brother," Yusei says.
"That doesn't matter anymore," Goodwin says. "The King of the Netherworld draws near, and since your friends cannot ride, if I defeat you the ritual is over!"
"Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca, attack Yusei's Life Points directly!" Goodwin orders. The giant condor prepares a blast.
"Yusei, don't forget about your Trap card," Jack says.
What Trap card? I think. I view the field with my Runner's computer. Scrubbed Raid remains on the field. That card will end the Battle Phase, I realize.
"Thanks Jack," Yusei says. He must have forgotten about his card. "I activate the effect of Scrubbed Raid! By sending it to the Graveyard, I can force the end of the Battle Phase," Yusei says.
"Grr, then I activate my Trap Meteor Flare, so by discarding two cards from my hand you take 2000 points of damage," Goodwin says.
"And I counter your Trap with my own known as Joint Future! By discarding one card I can negate the activation and effect of a Spell or Trap card and return it to the owner's Deck," Yusei says.
Goodwin ends his turn with nothing else to do. Before he takes his turn, Yusei asks Goodwin if he really wants to become a God.
"I do, but first I must surpass everything and everyone," Goodwin replies.
"That would be impossible then," Yusei says. "Some things are impossible to forget."
That is definitely true, I think.
"You know what I think? I think you aren't trying to surpass fate, but go against it with Roman," Yusei says. "Isn't that a bond?"
Goodwin pauses, and the Mark of the Dragon leaves his chest. Luna and Akiza's Marks return. Luna puts her hand to it. "Crow's a Signer now," she says.
"Yes, and Yusei needs our help," Akiza says. The Marks of the Dragon disappear again.
"It's my turn!" Yusei shouts. Goodwin S.C. 9, Yusei S.C. 12 "I Summon the Tuner Majestic Dragon (ATK 0, DEF 0) in Attack mode! I also activate the effect of the Stardust Xiaolong in my Graveyard; since I control a face-up Stardust Dragon I can Special Summon it," Yusei continues.
"Now I Tune my Level 1 Majestic Dragon with my Level 8 Stardust Dragon and Level 1 Stardust Xiaolong! Gathering starlights will enlighten a new miracle! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Arrive in light, Majestic Star Dragon (ATK 3800, DEF 3000)!" Yusei chants.
Since when has he had that card? I think.
I believe he's had it since his second duel with your friend Kalin, Reshiram says. It is a powerful one.
"I activate Majestic Star Dragon's special ability; once per turn it can negate the abilities of one monster my opponent controls," Yusei says. "Now I can choose Wiraqocha Rasca as an attack target. But first I'll play my Trap Synchro Baton, so now Majestic Star Dragon gains 600 ATK for every Synchro Monster in my Graveyard."
Majestic Star Dragon ATK 6200. "Go now Majestic Star Dragon! Attack Wiraqocha Rasca with Star Shine Shred and end this duel!" Yusei shouts. Majestic Star Dragon flies through the Earthbound Immortal. The Immortal explodes and Majestic Star Dragon proceeds to destroy the King of the Netherworld.
Goodwin's Life Points: 0 When the King of the Netherworld is destroyed, there is a bright flash of light and I have to shield my eyes. When I lower my arm the Stairway to the Dragon Star is gone along with the Condor Mark.
But Crow, Jack, and Yusei are nowhere to be seen. "Where did they go?" Leo asks. "We won right?"
Do you know where they are Reshiram? I ask.
Yes, your friends are safe on the shore of Satellite, Reshiram replies.
"They're in Satellite," I say to Leo. "I think it's time to connect it to the City," I add.
"That's what Goodwin was going to do after this was over," Akiza says. "Before he was a Dark Signer he promised Yusei that he would."
"Well then we'll just have to do it ourselves," I say. Then the sun rises, filling the surroundings with light. It reveals that the people absorbed by Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca have returned. They slowly leave the Director's island.
Days later…
"Any news from Yusei or the others?" Luna asks.
"Yeah, they've gathered a bunch of people who are ready to complete the bridge," I say. "Yusei and I think it should be done within six months."
"So you mean they aren't here?" someone asks. At the table next to us, an old man pulls off a disguise, revealing the reporter Carly. "I seriously smell a scoop."
"Why don't you interview yourself?" Leo asks. "You were one of the Dark Signers after all."
Carly sighs. "I don't remember anything though," she says. "Nobody does except for you guys."
"That's good then," I say. "I don't think anyone should remember that."
"At least everyone has returned," Akiza says.

Me: That ends the chapter.
Yusei: Seems a good way to end it.
Sky: Yeah, you didn't end in a cliffhanger this time.
Me: Meh, I don't think I could have done that even if I tried.
Leo: Can I have some popcorn now?
Me: Wha-No, the popcorn isn't even mine!
Leo: Please?
Me: No. If you take some I will lock you in the closet with Jack, Crow, and Kalin.
Sky: So that's where those three are.
Me: I can't let them see my Trouble With Soda fanfic. They'd try to kill me.
Sky: I can see that happening.
Me: That's nice. Anywho, please review! Thank you to all who have reviewed in the past or plan on reviewing later! Later!
