"So you're the ugly thing which is creating this mess!"
"Yes and you're energy is going to contribute quite nicely!"
The Supreme King had found his next victim after absorbing Ruka, Rio and Tsukikage energies. Standing before him was Grace and Gloria. This time the Supreme King looked like Yuri.
"What are you doing to them?!" Gloria yelled.
"Ever since I became one… my memories have been lacking…. but with each new summoning energy… a piece of me is restored!"
"We still have a chance to stop this… he's already a nightmare but… if we can just beat him until the others find some way to stop him…." Grace tried to speak brave but Gloria knew deep down she was terrified.
"We have no other choice." Gloria said. "He wants us for our Fusion energy… then next would be Ritual…."
"We're formally Academia's elite troops… at least we stand some chance to stall him rather than letting him pick up another Fusion user…."
"It's not just any Fusion user… you're so much stronger than many of the others… but I'm glad you realize you must duel me… I didn't want to have taken more extreme action!"
Around the merged dimension the Darkwurms were blazing the city and the smoke and dust from the damage was sweeping in their air.
"How much more damage can you do?!" Gloria yelled as she and Grace activated their purple duel disks.
"That's the fun thing…. even I'm not sure what I can do!" Supreme King laughed before stopping himself. "Since you two are so close… I shall let you have a shared field!"
"That just fine with us!" Grace yelled.
Yuzu
After finding out from Kuribon that Ruka and the others were being turned to stone to help restore the Supreme King's memories, Yuzu ran up ahead to try and find the other girls and Reiji. Beating Leo had released the angel energy and the energy had fired down to this position.
"Where could they be now?!" Yuzu looked around the damaged streets.
"We have our energy back now which is the main thing." Ciel said trying to calm Yuzu.
"Yeah I know but unless we find the others… we're not going to get far." Yuzu replied agitated
"Yuzu, we can't do anything to restore the carded people nor the people turned to stone unless you think with a clear mind."
"We just beat Leo and that's not even the hardest of the duels to come… the Supreme King will fully return soon… along with being powered up with Sin. Since we have the energies back, this is the only time we could stop him! We failed to stop Yuya and his counterparts from merging… we might be able to stop the Supreme King from fully remembering himself."
"We didn't fail."
"We did, Ciel and this is our second and final chance! Merging along with the power of Sin has clearly given us a lifeline…. but it could become the death of us if we don't stop him now!"
"Get a hold of yourself, Yuzu!" Ciel yelled. "You can't make any decision while like this…. trust me I know… I helped started this entire mess by killing Leo in the original world!"
"Which was an accident!"
"Regardless…. that was right at the darkest point of the war… no one was thinking clearly, if I had we might've prevented all this! Don't make the same error, after everything which has happened, don't lose it right at the darkest point of this war!"
Yuzu saw that her angel counterpart had a point, the similarities were so similar it was scaring Ciel just how much the situation was mirroring the same as in the original world.
"Right…. fine, I know… but the facts don't change, we need to find the others…."
"Hang on… if the others have their energies…. can't you just call them?" Warrior said.
"Wait… you can call them…?"
"In theory yes but since we're just spirits… we would need to summon them via yourselves…. and it will hurt." Ciel replied.
"Then let's do it!"
"I said it would hurt, Yuzu… I'm not pulling that off and that's that!"
"How many times did you take over my body before I knew you existed?!"
"That was different, there was a seal! Now we can talk properly, we can think of another plan!"
"This is the first time I think I can say that but… you're one stubborn person!"
"And you don't listen to reason!"
"And that's why you two are the incarnations of each other…." Warrior sighed. "Ciel, Yuzu wants to do it. I saw him much more and battled with her while you were bound by the seal… I know she can handle it."
"I know but…. the other girls will suffer it as well."
"Rin, Ruri, Ray and Serena… they will all say the same thing. I know it." Yuzu said. "The worlds are already gone… we have to!"
"I know but I guess… I'm also scared." Ciel said. "I haven't had my power for such a long time and what if I…."
"You won't hurt them, Ciel. You have nothing to worry about." Warrior replied. Yuzu could tell that despite being an ancient spirit from another plane of existence, Ciel was still prone to the same feelings everyday humans have to deal with.
"Ciel, you know you have the power and control! The others know you're not just their sister but you're the leader! They wouldn't have made that decision if they didn't think you couldn't control your power! Now let's contact them!" Yuzu said.
"It looks like I'm outvoted…." Ciel accepted defeat. "Okay this won't take long."
Ciel faded as Yuzu could feel Ciel slowly consuming her body while at the same time Yuzu could feel like she was becoming detached from hers.
"What… what on earth is this?" Yuzu said as she could see her body from the outside.
Duel
Turn 1
Grace/Gloria LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Supreme King LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I'll go first!" Grace said. "I summon Amazoness Baby Tiger!" An orange small tiger appeared.
Amazoness Baby Tiger ATK: 500 DEF: 500 Earth/Beast/LVL 2
"It becomes Amazoness Tiger while on the field… you want to absorb Fusion energy, here you go! I use Polymerization! Fuse with Amazoness Princess in my hand!"Both Monsters spun in the whirlpool as a bulky tiger walked forward. It had amour around its joints and an eye patch on its right eye.
Amazoness Pet Liger ATK: 2500 DEF: 2400 Earth/Beast/Fusion/LVL 7
"Baby Tiger can be summoned while in the graveyard if I summon another Amazoness, reappear!"
Amazoness Baby Tiger ATK: 500 DEF: 500 Earth/Beast/LVL 2
"I use the Spell Amazoness Fusion! I fuse Baby Tiger along with Princess in the graveyard! And Princess is treated as Amazoness Queen while in the graveyard! Over to you, Gloria!"
"Let's go Empress!" Gloria yelled as both Monsters flew into the whirlpool and fused. Appearing was a female wearing green jungle clothes with a red cape. She wore a skull of an animal on her head.
Amazoness Empress ATK: 2800 DEF: 2400 Earth/Warrior/Fusion/LVL 8
"I banish Amazoness Fusion!" Grace added. "As long as Empress is on the field, Amazoness Fusion Monsters can't be affected by your card effects!"
"And Liger's effect means you can only attack Liger itself and not Empress!" Gloria said with a powerful clenched fist as the two sisters linked play. "Empress also has an effect which prevents all other Amazoness Monsters from being destroyed by battle or card effect!"
"The bond you share… all within one turn… you no doubt possess powerful energy!" Supreme King said. "You gave it double protection thanks to your Fusion Spell as well… how much do you fear me?!"
"We were trained Academia warriors, we take no opponent lightly!" Gloria hit back.
"I set one card and end my turn!" Grace said.
Turn 2
Grace/Gloria LP: 4000 Hand: 0, 5
Supreme King LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"Draw! I set scale one Supreme King Gate Merger and scale three Supreme King Gate Marker!"
"He set a scale one and two?!"
Merger 1 - 3 Marker
"Marker's effect! I place a Marker Counter on this Pendulum Card for each Monster you control!"
Marker Counter: 2
"Counters… he's playing like Yuri? I mean he's got his face but still…." Grace moaned.
"Which means next is…."
"I remove the Marker Counters!"
Marker Counters: 0
"For each one, I can summon a Pendulum-Dark Monster from my hand or extra deck! Appear my Darkwurms!"
Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm ATK: 1800 DEF: 1200 Dark/Dragon/LVL 4/Pendulum/Scale 5
Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm ATK: 1800 DEF: 1200 Dark/Dragon/LVL 4/Pendulum/Scale 5
"I add a Supreme King Gate Monster to hand thanks to Darkwurm's effect. I add Supreme King Gate Eternal! I fuse my two Darkwurms by tributing the Darkwurms!"
"He didn't need a Fusion Spell? But then why is one of his scales called Merger?!" Grace yelled as the two Darkwurms fused in the portal. Green dark energy sparked out of it as it begun to take form.
"Emerge Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom!" Appearing was Starving Venom but in a much slimmer form and like the others was covered in the corruption green energy.
Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000 Dark/Dragon/Fusion/LVL 8
"A new Starving Venom… just what is going on here?!" Grace stuttered.
"Keep it together!" Gloria hit back.
"Supreme King Starving Venom can target one of your Monsters and take its name and effect but that's clearly useless as of right now so I better change things up! I summon Supreme King Poison Weed!"
Supreme King Poison Weed ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Dark/Plant/LVL 2
"Poison's effect! By discarding Supreme King Gate Eternal while I have a Fusion Monster on my field, I can Special Summon two Darkwurms from my extra deck with their effects negated!"
Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm ATK: 1800 DEF: 1200 Dark/Dragon/LVL 4/Pendulum/Scale 5
Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm ATK: 1800 DEF: 1200 Dark/Dragon/LVL 4/Pendulum/Scale 5
"He doesn't need a Pendulum Scale… he's doing it without." Grace gritted her teeth.
"Next I use Marker's other effect! When a Fusion Monster is summoned to my field, once per turn I put a Marker Counter on it!"
Marker Counter: 1
"He has Dark Monsters on the field… this deck is a copy of Yuri's style!"
"Yuri… Starving Venom… again these names are clouded in my mind…. sooner I unlock them the better! Merger's Pendulum effect lets me Fusion Summon!"
"If you don't know anything about Yuri or Starving Venom, why do you have copies of their Monsters?" Gloria hit back.
"Oh… I don't just have a copy…. I might not know about my true past but I know from absorbing the others that some of these Monsters in my deck belonged to them…. I guess… I have the best of both worlds! I fuse three Dark Monsters on my field to Fusion Summon!"
Weed and the Darkwurms fired into the portal once more which fired out a dark beam.
The aura around him created a figure which moved to form on the field. It was a towering green dragon standing on two legs. Its green skin mimicked a leaf pattern. It had a thick weedy tail. It had three heads and wings with red flowers on each.
"AppearTriphyoverutum!"
Predaplant Triphyoverutum ATK: 3000 DEF: 3000 Dark/Plant/Fusion/LVL 9
"One of Yuri's strongest cards… if you're not Yuri or Starving Venom… what are you?!"
"According to the female named Ruka… I am the Supreme King… but with an added demon power inside from something called… Sin…"
"So you're not the actual Supreme King then… you're confused… you can be better!" Grace tried to plead.
"Oh I am him… I'm just the warm-up! That true power will come… and you're going to play a major part in that! I use Marker's final effect which allows me treat a Marker Counter as any other counter which means Triphyoverutum's effect which lets it gain attack equal to the Monsters on the field with a Predator Counter, occurs!"
Since Starving Venom had a Predator Counter, Triphyoverutum increased its attack equal to the Fusion Monster.
Triphyoverutum ATK: 5800
"If I can't use your Monsters, I can use mine instead! Attack Liger, Triphyoverutum!" The three heads powered up dark green energy in their mouths before firing it at Liger. It struck the beast but due to Empress, it was protected from battle destruction.
Gloria/Grace LP: 4000 – 700
"I use my Continuous Trap!" Grace replied. "Amazoness Hot Spring restores my lifepoints equal to damage I took this turn!"
Gloria/Grace LP: 700 – 4000
"All that effort and we're right back to where we started!" Gloria smirked.
"I set one card and end my turn."
Turn 3
Grace/Gloria LP: 4000 Hand: 0
Supreme King LP: 4000 Hand: 0
"Draw!" Gloria yelled as she took one card from her deck as per the rules of the shared field.
"Go for it, Gloria!" Grace encouraged.
"I play the Spell Amazoness Spellcaster! This switches Triphyoverutum's 5800 attack with my Empress' 2800 until the end of this turn!"
Triphyoverutum ATK: 2800
Empress: 5800
"Take out Triphyoverutum!" Gloria commanded as her Fusion launched forward.
"I also have a trick up my sleeve…. go my Trap, Supreme Return! This might not affect your cards… but it doesn't need to! Supreme Return lets me return Triphyoverutum to my extra deck!"
"What?!" Gloria said as Triphyoverutum faded.
"And Supreme Return forces you to banish a Monster on the field facedown with less than the Monster I returned!"
"Forces us…. but then Amazoness Fusion is useless…. he had the exact card needed?" Grace stuttered.
"Keep it together! I banish Liger." Gloria said as it disappeared leaving only Empress. "I can still destroy Starving Venom!"
Empress leapt forward and slashed the even more corrupted Starving Venom in half forcing the Supreme King back by the blast.
Supreme King LP: 4000 – 1000
"We end our turn." Gloria stated.
"We had no choice but to lose Liger… still we knocked him down to his last 1000." Grace said.
"I really did pick the right pair of Fusion users to absorb!" the Supreme King smirked.
"How much more destruction do you want?!" Grace hit back. "What do you gain from it?!"
"Again… the memories are very cloudy in my mind except… it feels like a natural instinct! At least this way when you die, you will be serving a great cause than just needlessly dying!"
"Don't talk to us about a great cause!"
"Our dimension has already been wiped out and made into this new one…. and now an ancient duel spirit is trying to tear that down as well…. that's our great cause! Stopping you and bring our dimensions back!"
"I can tell you two fought in this dimensional war… your warrior pride is clear to see… I almost respect that!"
Empress ATK: 2800
Turn 4
Grace/Gloria LP: 4000 Hand: 0
Supreme King LP: 1000 Hand: 0
"Draw! I place a Marker Counter again on my Pendulum Card X the amount of Monsters you control!"
Marker Counter: 1
"I remove it so I can summon a Pendulum-Dark Monster from my hand or extra deck! Appear a Darkwurm!"
Marker Counter: 0
Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm ATK: 1800 DEF: 1200 Dark/Dragon/LVL 4/Pendulum/Scale 5
"I use its effect to add Supreme King Gate Risk to my hand and then I use the Spell Supreme Energy! I tribute a Supreme King Monster on my field and summon another Supreme King Monster from my graveyard! I tribute Darkwurm to return Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom!"
Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000 Dark/Dragon/Fusion/LVL 8
"Then if the Monster I tributed was a Darkwurm I can draw one more! I use Venom's effect! I can steal Liger's effect in the graveyard and Venom is treated as Liger!"
"What?!" Grace replied as Venom lit up in a green aura.
"I won't be using it just yet though as I play the Equip Spell Supreme Wing! I equip it onto a Dragon Monster and it can't be destroyed via card effects or battle! And now I will finish you off! Attack her Empress!" Starving Venom gained large sliver energy wings.
"And since he took Liger's effect… it gains 500 attack…"
Starving Venom ATK: 3300
The dragon fired the corruption green energy at Empress which wiped it out.
Grace/Gloria LP: 4000 – 3500
As no Amazoness remained on Grace/Gloria's field, Amazoness Hot Spring was destroyed.
"Next is Supreme Wing's effect! When the equipped Starving Venom destroys a Monster, you take that Monsters attack as damage!"
The sliver energy wings fired multiple blasts at Grace and Gloria which sent them flying.
Grace/Gloria LP: 3500 – 700
"I banish Supreme Energy from my graveyard! If a Supreme King Monster destroyed your Monster this turn, I hit you with 400 damage X the amount of Darkwurms in my extra deck!"
"No!" Grace yelled as she looked at Gloria who nodded back to her.
"We did our best." she affirmed.
"The others will beat you!" Grace hit back to the Supreme King.
"Let them try!" he replied as dark beams struck the two.
Grace/Gloria LP: 700 – 0 Supreme King Wins
The two sisters quickly turned to stone as purple energy flowed into the Supreme King.
"And now… one energy left… I need Ritual!"
Yuzu
"My body… I'm a spirit now?" Yuzu said as she saw her body from the outside while looking at her hands which were now in ghostly form.
"Yes and now you know what us duel spirits have to be like!" Warrior replied.
"But my body it feels… I can my energy…"
"Yes I'm taking energy off you which is why I warned it would hurt." Ciel said.
"It doesn't matter, find the others!"
"Right." Ciel put her hands up to the sky as pink energy begun to light up in the palms of her hands. This feeling took Ciel back to the long ago ancient days when she and her sisters along with the dragons maintained the harmony of the land.
Kaiba
"Kisara… Mokuba…."
Kaiba leaned against a wall and slammed his fist at full speed, not caring about the pain it caused.
"Where are the others? What is going on?!"
Kaiba had lost the others when the Darkwurms attacked; he had kept searching the city trying to find any source of life to no avail.
As Kaiba looked forward he could feel a presence ahead of him and he looked in that direction only to see a Darkwurm approach him from the sky.
"I wouldn't run if I were you, Kaiba!" the Darkwurm said as it transformed into the Supreme King once more but this time with Yuzar's face, the Ritual counterpart.
"So you're that demon? I'm surprised it took you so long to grace my presence…."
"You're from the Ritual Dimension which means I need your soul for its energy then my resurrection is complete!"
"So you left me for last, I would fear myself as well."
"This boy Yuzar always wanted to overthrow you as the Ritual Dimension's number one duelist… I will have that privilege!"
"Very well, if I'm all that stands between you and resurrecting… I'll be a worth final opponent for you." Kaiba activated his duel disk.
"I sense other summoning energies from you… you are indeed the final prize!"
"Let's duel!" both yelled.
Turn 1
Supreme King LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Kaiba LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I set my Pendulum Scales with scale four Supreme King Gate Altar and scale twelve Summoner!" An ancient statue arose while Enchanter was a rocky statue of a man with a flute.
Altar 4 – 12 Enchanter
"Enchanter allows me to show a Darkwurm in my hand and then to add a Ritual Monster from my deck!" Supreme King showed the Darkwurm and a Ritual Card was added to his hand which he showed to Kaiba. "When this is used, Enchanter is destroyed."
"Supreme King Dragon Ancient One?" Kaiba questioned.
"I summon my Darkwurm!"
Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm ATK: 1800 DEF: 1200 Dark/Dragon/LVL 4/Pendulum/Scale 5
"I add a Supreme King Gate Monster to hand thanks to Darkwurm's effect, scale nine Supreme King Gate Reality and I set it!" An ancient looking globe made of wood appeared.
Altar 4 – 9 Reality
"Because of Reality's effect, I can change a Monster to whatever level I want! I choose eight!"
Darkwurm LVL: 8
"Supreme King Dragon Ancient One's effect in my hand lets me Ritual Summon it by returning Darkwurms to my extra deck as long as they add up to level eight or more! And I have just the Darkwurm for the job!"
Darkwurm disappeared as it fired into the circle. Around Kaiba and the Supreme King the blue Ritual circle encased the two duelists as light energy fired up.
"I Ritual Summon, Supreme King Dragon Ancient One!" The blue dragon appeared along with the blue orbs which lay on its joints. The green corruption energy flew through it as did its long wings.
Supreme King Dragon Ancient One ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Dark/Dragon/Ritual/LVL 7
"You butchered his dragon?!" Kaiba yelled back.
"He only borrowed that dragon, it belongs to me! I use Ancient One's effect! All level five or higher Monsters on your field will have their attacks halved and for each level five Monster you summon will result in 800 damage!"
"So either way I'm going to get punished… seems you know my deck quite well…" Kaiba noted.
"I set a card and end my turn!"
Turn 2
Supreme King LP: 4000 Hand: 1
Kaiba LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"Draw! I'll start off with a bit of help from you. I play the Spell Bingo, Machine Go!"
A lottery machine which was on a tripod which looked like Blue-Eye legs appeared.
"I take three cards from my deck and you randomly choose one for me to keep! Of course it has to meet certain requirements, either a Blue-Eyes Monster or a Spell/Trap that lists Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
Kaiba took three cards from his deck and showed them to the Supreme King.
"I choose Magician with Blue-Eyes, Strength in Unity or the Ritual Spell Chaos Form!"
Kaiba set them in his Spell/Trap Zones which then appeared as balls in the lottery machine with numbers one to three.
"Now choose!"
"Such a childish game… number two!" The number two ball arose from the machine. Kaiba took the middle card and added it to his hand as he shuffled the other two back
"The demon playing a card game..."
"Dueling is a much more ancient form of fighting; everything got sealed into these cards when the universe was split into five. I have a feeling erasing the game was one of the things I was looking forward to doing once I fully resurrect!"
"So your memories aren't fully there… that makes a lot of sense." Kaiba thought. "I summon the Magician with Blue-Eyes that you choose for me!"A white robed magician with a light blue beard emerged.
Magician with Blue-Eyes ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Light/Spellcaster/LVL 4
"When summoned I can add a Ritual Spell from my deck which lists Blue-Eyes White Dragon in its text, and I'll add Chaos Form! Next I use the Spell, The Melody of Awakening Dragon! I discard one card to use its effect! I send The White Stone of Legend! And when it's sent to the graveyard I add a Blue-Eyes White Dragon to my hand!"
"So I was right… you can use other summoning methods."
"I learnt about the other dimensions and other summoning methods… but since you're clearly waiting for a Ritual Summon, I won't let you down… but you're just going to have wait a little bit longer." Kaiba smugly said, trying to annoy the Supreme King.
"I have waited so many years for my true return, a simple duel is nothing!"
"A simple duel? You dare say that to me of all people?! Melody's effect lets me add two Dragon Monsters from my deck with 3000 or more attack and 2500 or less defence! Of course I choose my second Blue-Eyes White Dragon along with Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon! Next I play the Ritual Spell, Chaos Form!"
The blue circle formed around Kaiba as he held up his Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
"I Ritual Summon!" Blue-Eyes emerged and flew into the circle as a light blue light fired upwards. "Appear Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon!" Kaiba's Ritual ace shot down and appeared on the field. The large blue dragon with his whole body looking like armour and emitted intrinsic rays of light
Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon ATK: 4000 DEF: 0 Dark/Dragon/Ritual/LVL 8
"Chaos MAX cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects!"
"Quite the worthy dragon..." the Supreme King noted, almost as if he was trying to disguise his concern about the mighty Monster Kaiba summoned. "But Supreme King Dragon Ancient One effect kicks in, I halve all Monsters summoned!"
MAX Dragon ATK: 2000
"And you take 800 damage for each level five or higher Monster summoned to your field!"
Kaiba LP: 4000 – 3200
"Minor damage… Yuzar always wanted to duel me to take number one spot… he had better be better than this once we finally get around to that duel!"
"He's gone, same as everyone else!"
"I'm not one for believing in fairy tales but given I'm speaking to a demon so maybe I need to reassess… if that can be true then anything is possible and I'll will be dammed if I don't try to bring them all back… the boys… the dimensions!"
"Enough chat and make your move!"
"Very well, I use the Spell Book of Moon! I switch your Ritual Monster to face down defence!"
"What?!" the Supreme King groaned as his Monster faded from sight.
"And now my Ritual Monster is free!"
MAX Dragon ATK: 4000
"The simple stuff is sometimes the best! If I attack your defence Monster, I can inflict double piercing damage! Attack, MAX Dragon!"
The Blue-Eyes charged up a light beam in its mouth and fired it down.
"I use my Trap Supreme Distortion, I halve all battle damage!" The Supreme King braced himself as the bright blue blast wiped out his Supreme King Monster. The blast knocked him back down the street as he only saved himself from the powerful Ritual Monster's effect.
Supreme King LP: 4000 - 2000
"Distortion then allows me to summon a Darkwurm from my deck with its effects negated!"
Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm ATK: 1800 DEF: 1200 Dark/Dragon/LVL 4/Pendulum/Scale 5
"I would've been disappointed had that been all it took to defeat you! I end my turn." Kaiba boldly said with his confident stance.
Turn 3
Supreme King LP: 2000 Hand: 1
Kaiba LP: 3200 Hand: 3
"Draw! I guess this way Yuzar is dueling you… now time to put one of his Monsters to good use!"
"You already corrupted his dragon… what next?"
"Just see! I use Reality's Pendulum effect to change my Darkwurm to level ten!"
Darkwurm LVL: 10
"But before I do anything else, I need to stop your dragon! I play the Spell Supreme Blank! I need to banish from my extra deck two face up Supreme King Monsters. I send Darkwurm and Enchanter!"
On the field Supreme King's second Darkwurm and Chaos MAX turned to grey.
"What did you do?"
"It allows me to negate all Monster Card effects that are on the field at the time of me playing this card and since it affects both of us, it doesn't target!"
"You don't need to tell me that."
"Then let me tell you this! I use Altar's Pendulum effect! I can Ritual Summon any Monster from my hand!"
"What?!" Kaiba replied as Altar faded.
"I tribute Darkwurm to Ritual Summon once more! Appear before me, Ancient King Ritual Dragon!"
This Ancient One roared as it reappeared and grew bigger. Emerging from the light was white dragon with golden amour around its body appeared. It had blue wings with black stripes.
Ancient King Ritual Dragon ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500 Dark/Dragon/Ritual/LVL 10
"You summoned Yuzar's evolution?!"
"I control my own cards but also borrow those who came before me! It doesn't matter… they all belong to me! King's effect lets me destroy all Special Summoned Monsters on the field when summoned…. minus itself obviously!"
Ancient King's wings lit up as Chaos MAX screamed in pain as it was destroyed.
"Then you take 800 damage for each Monster destroyed!" Kaiba was shocked by blue energy which knocked him to his knees.
Kaiba LP: 3200 – 2400
"That's how it should be, kneeling before a god!"
"Gods are just titles people give to someone stronger than them… they fear them… so try to appease them…."
"And that's what you think of me?"
"I never called you a god. I said you're a demon… besides… you would have to be stronger than me for me to even consider calling you a god!"
"You have far too much confidence for a human!"
"Let me guess… you're thinking you have another little surprise up your sleeve… that Ancient King's effect is a mystery to me, well don't as I know it destroys any Monster I summon while it remains on the field!"
"How?!"
"I never wanted to admit it but since Yuzar was the number two duelist… of course I kept an eye on his duels and deck…. I knew I would duel him one day, of course I keep an eye on the competition! I know his deck and cards!"
"Competition? A worthless human concept!"
"A competition is just another name for battle of survival surely… winners and losers… those who live and those who die! I bet deep down those human feelings are pulsing away!"
"Enough! I attack you directly! Sadly when I use Altar's effect, you only take halve the damage…" The Supreme King snarled as another blast hit Kaiba. This time he sheltered himself with his hands.
Kaiba LP: 2400 - 900
"I end my turn."
Turn 4
Supreme King LP: 2000 Hand: 0
Kaiba LP: 900 Hand: 3
"Draw! And now you're the one with an annoying dragon effect… two can play that game! I play the Spell Return of the Dragon Lords to summon a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my graveyard!" The mighty white dragon emerged.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500 Light/Dragon/LVL 8
"Then my King Dragon automatically destroys it!"
"Which is why I banish Return of the Dragon Lords! If a Monster would be destroyed via card effect, I can banish it instead! Next I play Trade-In! I discard the remaining level eight Blue-Eyes in my hand to draw two new cards! Next…. I attack!"
"You're battling already?!"
"Indeed, mutual destruction!" Blue-Eyes launched its bright light blue blast as did Ancient King Ritual Dragon, wiping the two dragons out. "Now if Blue-Eyes is destroyed, I can summon Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon!"
Appearing was a metal Blue-Eyes in the shape of a jet. It had a blue dome at the front where the pilot would be.
Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon ATK: 3000 DEF: 0 Light/Dragon/LVL 8
"I'll finish you!" Kaiba declared as his Jet Dragon launched forward and missiles emerged from the wings before launching.
"You're not going to beat me that easily! I will resurrect fully! I use Altar's final Pendulum effect! I destroy both Pendulum Scales to return a Supreme King Ritual Monster in defence from my graveyard which can't be destroyed by battle this turn!" Both scales disappeared as the Supreme King's rage increased.
"Return Supreme King Dragon Ancient One!"
Supreme King Dragon Ancient One ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Dark/Dragon/Ritual/LVL 7
"Then I won't stop there then! I Normal Summon Maiden with Eyes of Blue!" A female with long white-blue hair appeared in a brown dress with blue dragons printed on it.
Maiden with Eyes of Blue ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Light/Spellcaster/Tuner/LVL 1
"I tune Jet Dragon with Maiden!" Maiden fired into the sky and became green rings as Jet Dragon launched through.
8+1=9
"I Synchro Summon Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon!" A dragon which looked just like Chaos MAX but in pure white emerged in defence.
Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon ATK: 2500 DEF: 3000 Light/Dragon/Synchro/LVL 9
"This Synchro stops you summoning two or more Monsters at once and I can negate an effect in your graveyard! I end my turn."
"Then my Supreme King halves its attack and hits you with 800 damage!"
Spirit Dragon ATK: 1250
Kaiba LP: 900 – 100 "
900 lifepoints isn't much different from 100… I set one card and end my turn!"
Turn 5
Supreme King LP: 2000 Hand: 0
Kaiba LP: 100 Hand: 0
"This ends here!" the Supreme King drew. He had fierce look on his face as he looked at the card.
"Didn't get what you were hoping for? I guess your power isn't all it's cracked up to be!"
"I won't allow a human to stop me! Not here, not ever! I will fully remember who I am… I will remember everything and I will make sure your annoy-self will never trouble me again! I set one card!"
Turn 6
Supreme King LP: 2000 Hand: 0
Kaiba LP: 100 Hand: 0
"And I'll do anything I can to get my world back! Never underestimate me! I draw!"
"Destroying me isn't going to bring back your dimension! I had nothing to do with that!"
"But you're an obstacle and I'll remove you by using the Spell Ultimate Fusion! I shuffle two Blue-Eyes White Dragons from my graveyard back into my deck!" Both Blue-Eyes appeared and spun around in the Fusion portal. "Appear Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon!" A double-headed Blue-Eyes emerged.
Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500 Light/Dragon/Fusion/LVL 10
"This is finally your end! I use Ultimate Fusions other effect! I destroy face up cards on your field equal to the amount of Blue-Eyes I used, so I wipe out your Supreme King Ritual!" The Supreme King only looked at the ground with rage as his eyes twitched. "End this!" Kaiba yelled as he declared a direct attack.
"I said I wouldn't lose… I won't lose… I will do whatever it takes to fully resurrect! I play my Trap Supreme Diversion! I Special Summon a Darkwurm from my deck with its effects negated but then we both take 1800 of damage equal to its attack!"
"Coward!" Kaiba yelled as the Darkwurm appeared on the field.
Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm ATK: 1800 DEF: 1200 Dark/Dragon/LVL 4/Pendulum/Scale 5
A dark aura fired from the beast at both Kaiba and the Supreme King sending both flying.
Kaiba LP: 100 – 0
Supreme King LP: 2000 – 0
DRAW
"I… I…." the Supreme King's mind which was already broken became even more unstable. He couldn't format his words nor think.
"Give it up!" Kaiba yelled. "You didn't win so my soul is staying right here."
"I will gain the full energy…! We're equal… yes… we're equal!"
"What are you going on about?!"
"I will do anything to destroy this world…. even if I have to become a part of what I vowed to destroy!"
The Supreme King slowly turned into a shadow which came closer and closer to Kaiba.
"What are you doing?!"
"What I must!"
Yuzu
The pink light lit up across the sky and the dozens of Darkwurms in the sky which were hunting humans stopped and looked at it. Yuzu in her spirit form noticed this as the Darwurms seemed to be reverting back to their primal goal of hunting the angels above anything else.
"Come on!" Ciel yelled.
A few seconds later passed and Yuzu, Ciel and Warrior all felt depressed as there had been no reply from the others. However at that very second four other lights fired into the sky.
The lights of the other girls were being fired about a mile up from where they were.
"We found them!"
"Now let's get to them!" Yuzu replied. As they were about to move the sky and the Darkwurms faded, the sky turned to pure darkness.
"No… what now?!" Ciel yelled.
"Did it finally become the full Supreme King?" Yuzu said.
"Yes but this feels even more different…." Ciel noted. "We need to unite with the others now!"
