Chapter 31: Desperation Incarnate! Escape Velocity!
Flare and Shun touched down minutes after cancelling the connection. "We need this portal finished now," Shun told her. "On it," Flare agreed, looking through the junk they had managed to collect.
"We won't have time for a full metal rim like I'd hoped," the black Duelist frowned, picking up three old Duel Disks. "I'll just have to build a triangulational frame for the portal to lock onto and hope that'll be stable," he sighed, before turning to his friend. "You've got some kind of Solid Vision fire app on your Duel Disk, right? Use it to weld all this junk to the outside of the house," he commanded, gesturing at the other metallic debris that had been collected from the junkyard in the hour or so before Obelisk Force had invaded.
Flare blinked. "You think it's Solid Vision?" she paused.
"What?" Shun, who had already busied himself with juryrigging the Duel Disks, didn't hear her.
"Nothing, nevermind. Solid Vision welding torch. On it," the redhead nodded, lifting chunks of debris and arranging them, before unleashing her fire abilities and securing it into a sort of armour.

The other five drew up short. Only a kilometre away from the house, a lone figure was waiting for them.
"I wondered when you lot would show up," Cooper the chicken farmer smirked.
"Old man Cooper? What are you doing here?" Katie frowned.
"Buying myself my ticket home," the man spat. "See, if I was ever gonna coax my Obelisk Force comrades to go to the bother of coming here, I needed something better than good. And you lot provided that so perfectly. Who would've thought that Declan Akaba's Lancers would wash up on these lonely shores, of all places?" The man broke into a wizened, coughing laugh.
"What are you talking about?" Sawatari demanded.
"See, I ain't like the other Crashlanders. I was sent here on purpose, to keep a very close eye on something very important," the chicken farmer smirked. His eyes rested on Katie.
The purple-eyed girl slowly registered that he was looking at her. "Who, me?"
"The lost piece. The leftover. The one that was happy to sit around and wait until the ones that are important were gathered, then she could be scooped up and brought back to complete the plan,"
"I dunno what you're talking about, but you ain't touching my sister," Yuke growled, protectively stepping in front of her.
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Gong frowned.
"But, of course, when the Lancers showed up, I knew you lot wouldn't be happy to sit around and wait like,the piece was. You'd get home or die trying. So I had to call in the cavalry. And isn't it fun?" Cooper madly grinned.
"You're the one who called Obelisk Force here? Why would you do that?" Yuya demanded in sudden realisation.
"Because I was sick of it. I was sick of all these weak freaks going around and living and being happy, content in their ignorance and stupidity. Only the strong deserve happiness," he spat in retaliation.
"Like you're one to talk. I've been around for fourteen years and I've never seen you win a Duel once," Katie snorted.
"Because I played smart. I hid my strength. There ain't a single one of you backwoods freaks that knows what I'm really capable of," Cooper grinned. "Sub-human scum. I guess you two're gonna hide behind the people who actually have the right to wield a Duel Disk, just like this morning?" he spat at Yuke and Katie.
"What the hell are you talking about?" the Ritual Duelist spat.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about. And if you've forgotten, just take a look at your sister's furry ass," Cooper shook his head. "Dumb animals. Just get out of my way and let me take care of the real Duelists. I want a Lancer head in a card to give to Leo Akaba, so just go back to the pigsty and let the real people work it out,"
Katie whimpered, her tail shivering.
Yuke clenched his fists and armed his Duel Disk. "I'll show you," he spat. "Take me on, right here and now, so I can teach you a decent lesson!"
The farmer waved him away. "Naah. You aren't worth my time,"
"What? Think you can't win against an 'animal'?" Yuke snorted.
Cooper cocked a brow. "Of course I can, you just watch,"
"I'm gonna do a lot more than watch," the blue-haired boy growled. "Let's Duel!"
"Then it's my move first," his opponent smirked. "Draw. I Set a monster in face-down Defence Position, and end my turn," A sideways Set Card appeared.
Yuke shrugged. "Well, if you're gonna be boring, then I guess it's up to me to do something. My turn. Draw! I Normal Summon Topaz Monoglyph!" he declared, and a tall orange stone rose onto the field, covered in runes. 0 ATK. "Topaz is immediately switched to Defence Position with his own effect!" 1900 DEF.
"Now, I'll activate my Field Spell, Circle of the Monoglyphs!" Yuke declared. Behind him, a mound of earth rose into the air with several holes in it. "All monsters on the field are switched to attack position and their battle positions can't be changed! Also, their ATK and DEF are switched!" he grinned. The runes covering Topaz Monoglyph rearranged themselves to create the image of a humanoid golem, and the face-down monster was flipped up. "My monster is Box of Friends, with 0 ATK," Cooper admitted.
"Good. Battle! Topaz, attack that box!" Yuke commanded. The image of the golem brought its hands together on the carved floor, and a rock fist shot out of a fissure in the ground and hit the box, instantly destroying it. "Joke's on you," Cooper snorted. "When Box of Friends is destroyed, I can Summon two Normal Monsters from my Deck with either 0 ATK or 0 DEF," he smirked. "So appear, Mystery Shell Dragon and Soul Tiger!" A tall draconic monster with 2000 ATK appeared, flanked by a blue tiger with 2100 DEF.
"Circle of the Monoglyphs," Yuke smirked as both stats fell to zero and Cooper groaned, his LP hitting 2100. "So used to summoning them to their strengths," Soul Tiger was then forced into ATK position, revealing 2100 ATK.
"I activate Circle of the Monoglyphs' other effect, and send Citrine Monoglyph from my Deck to my Graveyard. Turn end," Yuke nodded, and an orange stone appeared in one of the Circle's holes.
"Good. My turn! Draw!" Cooper declared in annoyance. "Now, I overlay my Level 4 Mystery Shell Dragon with my Level 4 Soul Tiger! Come, adorable princess, and show your cute but wicked grin!" The two monsters were sucked into a bright golden overlay network. "Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Appear, young troublemaker, Princess Cologne!" he declared. A short young girl with long, flowing blonde hair done in a blue bow with a black dress appeared and giggled mischievously. 500 ATK, which was immediately swapped out for her DEF; 2200. "When Princess Cologne is Summoned, I can revive Box of Friends from my grave!" the farmer grinned, restoring his monster.
"An Xyz Summon?" Yuya gasped in shock.
"And now I Normal Summon Galaxy Serpent from my hand!" A small, snake-like dragon whose body shimmered with the images of constellations appeared. "I Tune my Level 2 Galaxy Serpent to my Level 1 Box of Friends! Come, green bird, on wings of the wind! Synchro Summon! Level 3! Arise, Mist Bird Clausolas!" Two rings and a single star transformed into a floating green bird. 0 ATK changed to 2300.
"My Field Spell's being used against me," Yuke groaned.
"Finally, I play Polymerization and fuse Alexandrite Dragon with Millennium Shield in my hand!" the farmer declared. "So come, ancient dragon, as the first of your kind! Fusion Summon! Level 9! Appear, First of the Dragons!" A sparkling dragon, accompanied by a great red shield, were sucked into a Fusion Vortex, which then expelled a massive, serpentine dragon. But in this instance, 2700 ATK became 2000. "Yes! It finally worked!" Yuke grinned.
"He's got Fusion, Synchro and Xyz all at once," Sawatari gasped. "I thought Declan was the only one capable of that,"
"Not enough. If all three of my monsters attack you now, you lose in a one turn kill," Cooper sneered. "No sense in delay! Go, Clausolas!" The bird swooped and destroyed Topaz, but instead of vanishing, it lifted up and settled into position in the Circle or the Monoglyphs. "Cologne, go hit that boy please," the farmer cackled, and his Xyz monster charged.
Yuke consulted his hand. "It's a risky play, but it's my best bet," he told himself, and Cologne slapped away 2300 of his LP. "First of the Dragons, finish him,"
"Wrong! I activate Peridot Monoglyph's effect in my hand! I Special Summon it to the field and negate your attack!" Yuke commanded. "Boo-yah!" A tall, pentagonal green gemstone inlaid with runes appeared, and a barrier of green energy blocked the dragon. Peridot was forced into ATK, with 1000 ATK.
"Turn end," Cooper snorted.
"Good! My turn! Draw!" Yuke commanded. "I play my Ritual Spell, First of the Monoglyphs! By Tributing my Level 2 Peridot and the Level 4 Pearl Monoglyph in my hand, I Ritual Summon! Come forth, great red rock that endured throughout history! Arise with your collected power and unleash your true strength! Ritual Summon! Level 6! Rise, Garnet Monoglyph!"
A portal inlaid with runes appeared and a tall red gemstone appeared on the field, as Peridot and Pearl Monoglyphs took their place alongside Topaz and Emerald. The image of a golem inscribed on Garnet pounded its fists together in anticipation.
"Circle of the Monoglyphs doesn't affect Ritual Monsters!" Yuke explained. "But Garnet's 0 ATK and 3000 DEF get switched while I control a Monoglyph anyway!"
The golem grinned. 3000 ATK. "Now go, Garnet! Destroy Mist Bird Clausolas!" The image of the golem launched a beam of energy, which shot out of the two-dimensional and into 3D, knocking the bird out of the air. Cooper dived out of the way seconds before his monster's body hit him, and took 700 damage. "Princess Cologne's effect!" he spat soil out of his mouth. "When a monster I control is destroyed, I can use one Overlay unit to Special Summon a Normal Monster from my Deck! Come, Tri-Horned Dragon!" he commanded, his squat Level 8 dragon appearing. 2850 ATK. Circle's effect switched that with its DEF; 2350.
"Well, I know what my next target is," Yuke frowned. "I Set a card and activate Circle of the Monoglyphs' effect, sending Sapphire Monoglyph from my Deck to the Grave, and end my turn," A deep blue crystal joined the growing circle. Five of the twelve slots were now filled.
"Good. I draw!" Cooper marked the beginning of his own turn. "I Set a card and end my turn,"
"How anticlimactic," the blue-haired boy rolled his eyes. "My turn! Draw! No wasting time. Garnet Monoglyph! Attack Princess Cologne!"
"I activate my Trap, Mirror Force!" the farmer snorted. A wave of energy breezed towards Garnet, but Yuke was ready. "I activate the effect of Ruby Monoglyph in my hand! By discarding it, your Trap is negated and destroyed!"
Shimmering ruby energy neutralised Mirror Force, and the attack went through and destroyed the Xyz monster. A sixth crystal, coloured deep ruby, appeared in the circle. "Finally, I activate Circle's effect and send Amethyst Monoglyph from my Deck to the Grave!" A seventh, purple stone appeared in the circle, which was now more than half complete. "Turn end!"
"I need to get rid of that circle before he can complete it," Cooper fumed. "Why did I skimp on Spell/Trap removal? My turn, draw!" he moaned, looking at his card - and smiling. "I activate the Equip Spell, Malevolent Nuzzler, and equip it to Tri-Horned Dragon! This grants him an extra 700 ATK!" he grinned. An evil-looking elf lady appeared and leant on the dragon's shoulder, stroking him and crooning in pleasure.
Realising what exactly the Equip Spell was implying, Yuya hurriedly covered Katie's eyes. "What? What is it?"
"Something you are too young for," the entertainer hurriedly explained.
The dragon roared in pleasure and its ATK increased to 3050. Just barely enough to take out Garnet. "Go, my dragon! Destroy that rock!" The elf pointed and the dragon happily obeyed, charging Garnet and shattering it into pieces. The Monoglyph reappeared in the circle. Yuke clenched his teeth in anger and glared. "You'll pay for that. Garnet's effect, when it's destroyed I draw cards equal to the number of monsters I Tributed for its Ritual Summon," He drew two more cards.
"Make me. Turn end," Cooper smirked.
"Oh, I will. My turn! Draw!" Yuke declared, glaring at him with incredible intensity. "It's time to finish this! I Normal Summon Emerald Monoglyph!" he declared, and a tall emerald runestone appeared. "Circle!" 1600 DEF became 1600 ATK.
"And now that Emerald was Normal Summoned, I can add a Ritual Spell from my Deck to my hand! I add Seismic Energy!" he declared. "Which I'll use at once! I play the Ritual Spell Seismic Energy and Ritual Summon!" A massive crack appeared in the ground. "I Tribute my Level 4 Emerald Monoglyph and my Level 3 Opal Monoglyph!" he declared. An opal stone appeared from his hand and sunk into the fissure along with Emerald. Seconds later, both of them joined the steadily growing Circle of Monoglyphs, which now had ten of the twelve slots filled.
"Take all that you want and give nothing back! Get ready, my monster, to launch your attack!" Yuke chanted. Brilliant blue light emerged from the fissure. "Ritual Summon! Appear, Level 7! Tectonic dragon that swallows all in its quakes! Arise, Hammer Tail Ritual Dragon!" Yuke commanded.
His massive ace dragon burst from the crack and launched itself into the air. It's silver scales glittered in the sunlight as it roared, baring its blue underbelly. 2500 ATK.
"That won't beat my Tri-Horned," Cooper snorted. "And First of the Dragons can only be destroyed by battle with a Normal Monster,"
"You've forgotten my dragon's effect," the Ritual Duelist grinned. "I activate Hammer Tail's ability!"
"No I haven't! I use Breakthrough Skill!" the chicken farmer commanded, his Set card flipping up. "This negates your monster's effects for the rest of the turn!"
"What?" Yuke gasped, as his monster dived - and glanced off a barrier around the opponents monsters before its effect could succeed.
"No cards left in my hand. Think, how can I manage this?" he asked himself. "First I activate Circle's effect again, and send Diamond Monoglyph from my Deck to my Grave," The penultimate rock joined the circle, and Yuke did some quick maths. "I don't have enough LP to survive Cooper,s next turn," he realised.
"I can't win this Duel," he whispered in horror.
And with that realisation, came a flow of defiant energy. "No," he whispered to himself. "No, no, no! I'm not going to lose!" The boy demanded, squeezing his eyes shut and clenching his fists.
Katie paled, seeing this. "Uh . . . you all might want to back away right now," she gulped.
Sawatari and Gond hastily obeyed. "Why?" Yuya asked.
"Sometimes, when Yuke's Duelling, he loses control and," Katie gulped. "We don't want to be caught in the crossfire,"
"I . . . I . . ." Yuke said, grasping for anything that could help him. He opened his eyes, and they were shining, featureless yellow. "You brought Obelisk Force here. It's your fault that the town hates me and my sister, your fault that we're gonna have to leave our home!" he growled in anger, his temper mounting. "I won't lose to someone like you! I activate Seismic Energy's Graveyard effect! By placing my Ritual Monster Garnet Monoglyph on top of my Deck, I Set it from the Grave to my side of the field!" he declared. Garnet vanished from the Circle, and a Set card appeared.
"And now I activate the effect of Magma Tail Ritual Dragon in my Deck!" Yuke shrieked, energy and power surging through him.
"An effect from the Deck?" Cooper gasped.
"By sending all the cards on my field to the Graveyard, while I control Hammer Tail Ritual Dragon and Seismic Energy, I can Ritual Summon Magma Tail Ritual Dragon from my Deck without a Ritual Spell!" the boy shouted as runes of fire appeared, covering his body. "Now, Ritual Dragon! Evolve in the flames at the centre of all worlds! Become one with fire and magic and realise your potential as the ultimate and perfect seismic dragon!" Berserk Yuke shouted. A massive hole appeared on his field and the two cards were sucked into it, as the red glow of magma appeared reform the depths. The Monoglyph Circle was swallowed up and destroyed as the fissure expanded, and a mighty roar that shook the very earth resonated from the hole. "Burning Ritual Summon!" Yuke invoked, and a humongous dragon shot from the hole, soaring into the air. "Appear now, Level 8! My ultimate power, Magma Tail Ritual Dragon!"
Magma Tail was a true monster. Several times as large as its predecessor and with glowing red cracks between its burnt-silver scales. And unlike Hammer Tail, it had wings. Wings of pure blue fire, with incredible heat and intensity. It's glowing blue eyes roared and it lashed its tail, glaring down at Cooper and his monsters. 3000 ATK.
"Put on all the stunts you want, that thing still can't beat Tri-Horned," the farmer shook his head.
"It doesn't have to! Hammer Tail's final effect! When it leaves the field, all monsters on the field are destroyed!" Yuke invoked, and a phantom of his dragon slammed its club-like tail into the ground, creating a massive earthquake that swallowed up Tri-Horned.
"First of the Dragons is unaffected by the effects of other monsters," Cooper snorted. "And now that your Field Spell's gone, it's ATK returns to 2700 too. It also can't be destroyed by battle with a Ritual Monster,"
Yuya started as something rustled in his pocket, the one where he had put his Deck, and Junior poked his head out. The little dragon scrambled out of his pocket and awkwardly landed on the floor, and picked himself up before running towards Yuke.
His owner started. "What? Junior! It's not safe!"
"I don't need it to be destroyed!" Yuke declared. "I activate Magma Tail's effect! It gains ATK equal to the DEF of all other monsters on the field! Magma Reflection!" Yuke commanded, and magma bubbled from the cracks in the ground, forging a stone replica of the Fusion monster. His dragon swooped and devoured the stone, grinding it into dust and swallowing the chunks. It's ATK increased by the DEF of the monster; 2000, to 5000.
"Five thousand ATK?" Cooper gasped. "That's enough to finish this,"
"You bet it is!" Yuke growled, his dragon roaring. "Now, Magma Tail! Attack that monster! Volcanic Fissure of Eruptions!" His dragon charged towards the Fusion monster.
Junior leapt up and clung to the boy's leg, whining pitifully.
The Duelist took no notice as his dragon charged, batting First of the Dragons out of the way and screaming towards Cooper.
"No! No! You win! No!" Cooper shrieked, running in terror as the dragon bore down on him. As it passed the spot he had been standing, the 2300 damage registered, reducing his LP to zero and ending the Duel.
The chicken farmer tripped and stumbled into a ditch. He rolled onto his back and stared at the massive serpentine dragon as it slowly inched towards him.
The Duel Disks powered down and the great dragon vanished. As it did, Cooper fainted.
The Lancers and co. paid him no need as Yuke, exhausted, fell over backwards. Gong carefully picked him up and Katie peered down at him, her tail shaking. "Is he okay?" she nervously asked Gong as he checked his pulse. "Just exhausted, I think," he reassured the fox girl.
"We should get back to the house, we've been delayed long enough," Yuya encouraged them both.
"Way ahead of you!" Sawatari shouted, already running down the path. "He pisses me off so much," Gong fumed, carefully carrying Yuke's prone form as the other three rushed off.
X
The house had been transformed. Massive, thick chunks of haphazard metal and concrete was covering the entire house.
There were four holes forming a square around it. Shun had realised that since there was no way to pick up the house and reinforce the underside, if the portal was opened a few feet underground the crystalline ground it stood upon could be affixed to the bottom of the house and used to reinforce the house's underside. One of the Duel Disks Shun had juryrigged was in each of the holes, with rubber-encased cables linking them and leading into the front door of the house - the only part Flare had yet to reinforce.
Gongenzaka carried Yuke through the front door as Shun came up. "What happened?" he asked Yuya.
"Cooper - the chicken farmer guy. He's with Obelisk Force. He snuck up on us and Duelled Yuke. Yuke beat him, but fainted from exhaustion," Yuya explained. "How's the portal?"
"Almost ready. Just waiting for you lot," Shun grimly smiled.
Sawatari rushed inside as Flare came up, carrying a chunk of metal large enough to fill the gap in the house's armour. "I love these altered physics," she grinned at Yuya. "Normally I could never lift something like this,"
"It's useful," Shun admitted. "And it might just be our saving grace in the portal," he explained as everyone carefully entered the house, which, aside from the electrical generator in the living room and lack of light coming in through the windows, was remarkably unchanged on the inside.
"No. No complex scientific explanations that'll go straight over my head," Sawatari demanded.
"Fine," Flare sighed. "Not like I was born into this stuff or anything,"
"Whaddya mean by that?" Gong frowned, having set Yuke down on the couch.
"My dad's a scientist, remember?" Flare shrugged. The martial artist nodded and left it at that. "Are we ready to go, Shun?"
"I'm booting up the portal now," he nodded. "Move the last piece into place,"
The girl nodded, walking back out through the front door and grabbing hold of the metal boulder, pulling it behind her as she walked back into the door. Having done that, she set to work welding the piece into place, ensuring that there were no gaps that the interdimensional radiation could burn through.
"How does she do that with the fire? I've been wondering," Gong asked, curious.
"It's a specialised addition to her Duel Disk that creates fire using Solid Vision with Mass," Shun told him, and he nodded. "Wonder if I can get something like that?"
"Done!" Flare declared a moment later.
"Good," Shun nodded. "I've set the portal. We need to secure as much of the furniture as possible. This is gonna be a rough trip,"
"On it!" Katie nodded, dashing upstairs. Yuya agreed, following her.
"Do I have to?" Sawatari whined.
Gong pulled his sash off and used it to tie Yuke to the couch he was sleeping on, before looking around for something to secure the couch. "Yes," he growled at Sawatari.
"Shun! How long until the portal opens?" Yuya shouted from downstairs.
"Five minutes. It needs to boot up," the black Duelist responded, removing his coat and offering it to Gong, who used it to secure Yuke's couch.
"It's kinda creepy, trapped in here. We have no idea what's going on outside," Flare gulped a moment later as she exited the TV room, having used spare extension cables to secure the television into position.
Upstairs, Katie was using the spare clothes in her wardrobe to tie her bed and dresser into position, and locked the wardrobe closed with some old ribbons. The fox girl stared out the glass of her window at the welded rock and metal. "Creepy," she shivered, and closed the curtains.
"I'm glad we have electric lights," Yuya commented as he finished doing the same to Yuke's room. "It would be pitch-black if we didn't,"
"Yeah," his friend nodded, twitching her tail. "Don't worry about the bathroom, everything's porcelain and attached to the plumbing in there,"
Yuya thought for a second. As he did, Junior's head poked from his pocket, and Katie immediately gushed over the tiny dragon. "Aww, that's so cute! Where'd you get him?"
"No idea, just appeared last week," Yuya shrugged. "Get your blankets from your bed. Impact resistance, it'll be useful," he suggested.
"Good idea," Katie nodded.

As the countdown neared completion, the seven met back in the living room. "TV room's secure," Flare reported. She raised an eyebrow at Yuya and Katie.
"We took care of the bedrooms," Yuya offered, Katie grinning. Both were heavily wrapped in blankets.
"I got the living room," Gong nodded. "And I made sure the kitchen's secure," Shun agreed. "You two look ridiculous," the martial artist snorted at Yuya and Katie.
Everyone looked at Sawatari. "I, uh, did the bathroom?" he meekly offered.
"There's nothing to do in the bathrooms," Katie frowned.
"You all did everything else. There weren't any rooms left!" he protested.
"That's everything but the attic," Katie told the others. "The only things in the attic are piles of cards and a couple of old chairs," Gong recalled.
"It's too late to worry about that. Everyone brace yourselves," Shun warned the group.
"Five," Gong crouched protectively over Yuke.
"Four," Sawatari dashed into the toilet cubicle and pressed his limbs against the walls.
"Three," Flare stepped into the kitchen and took cover underneath the bench.
"Two," Yuya and Katie stood under the door frames, wrapped in blankets, and clung onto the door knobs.
"One," Shun kept a careful eye on the power generator that had been placed on top of the coffee table, and watched the readings spike as he lay back in an armchair and fastened a makeshift seatbelt.
"Zero," Four feet beneath the house, the Duel Disks synchronised and triangulated an interdimensional portal, which opened in the earth beneath the house. The black crystal shattered and broke under all the weight that suddenly had nothing to help it bear the load, and with a screech of protesting interdimensional junk, the house toppled into a trapezoidal vortex.
The cables leading out through the perfectly shaped gap Flare had left outside the door went taut, pulling the connected Duel Disks with the house. The portal shrank as its reference points twisted and changed, and eventually the entire contraption swallowed itself, leaving the house trailing a damaged cable with four broken Duel Disks hanging from it as it soared through the interdimensional wormhole.
"Heartland or bust, right?" Gong looked at Shun, and he nodded. "Heartland or bust,"

Woo-hoo, Heartland or bust!
So, about seven new Monoglyphs, plus two spells AND Magma Tail Ritual Dragon! Honestly, I didn't want to reveal Hammer Tail's evolution so early (relative to Yuke's plotlines) but there was just no other way he could win against Cooper (who is a surprisingly good Duelist - something I bet no one saw coming!).

And yes, each of the Monoglyphs is based on a birthstone of a month, and there are twelve in total. So if you've been keeping track, you'll know that the only one that hasn't been revealed, the only one that Yuke didn't manage to send from his Deck to the Grave during his Duel, is Aquamarine Monoglyph. Which will be seem soon enough. XD
So, thanks for the support, Leafeon . . . unless you're just copying and pasting reviews at this point. XD Peace!
