"Then, I shall overlay Darksoul and Marauding Captain!", Isabeau said as Superbia's eyes went wide.
"W-what?! That's impossible!", Superbia questioned as a spiral galaxy materialized on the ground.
Zelenin's eyes widened seeing XYZ summoning in action. The two orbs flew into the portal and exploded revealing a new monster.
"Hero from another world come to my aid! The time has come for the knights of separate worlds to unite under one banner! XYZ summon! Rank 3! M-X-Saber Invoker!", Isabeau chanted.

"I got lucky. I will detach one material from Invoker to special summon a level 4 earth warrior or beast warrior monster from my deck. I choose XX-Saber Boggart Knight. X Rally Call!", Isabeau said.

"I shall attack Edeh Arae with Souza! Dual X Tornado!", Isabeau declared.
Superbia LP 2000 - 200 = 1800
"Then, I shall attack you with Gottoms! X Great Sword!", Isabeau declared as Superbia sweated nervously.
"This can't be…she's just a human!", Superbia thought.
Superbia LP 1800 - 200 = 1600
"Is a little human like her really going to defeat me?!", Superbia thought.
"I shall attack you directly with Invoker! Ebony Star Slasher!", Isabeai declared.
The general cried out as he was slashed by the blade and he faded away.
Superbia LP 1600 - 1600 = 0
The area around them shook slightly drawing their attention. They opened the door to see a pillar of light appeared in the center of the room.
"That must be the path towards Lucifer.", Zelenin said.
"Isabeau! Zelenin!", Flynn said, grabbing their attention.
They ran down to see Flynn and Jonathan standing in front of the pillar of light.
"Zelenin said this should be the way forward.", Isabeau said.
"Alright.", Flynn replied, nodding.
All four of them entered the light and found themselves in a bizarre space full of winding paths.
"I can feel we've gotten closer to Lucifer. He's somewhere beyond here.", Zelenin said.
"How are we supposed to know where to go?", Jonathan questioned as Flynn walked forward and jumped on the platforms.
Jonathan gasped worried Flynn would fall or get lost.
"There's more doors…", Flynn murmured as he looked down.
He noticed there was a barrier blocking the way and materialized Doomkaiser.
"If that way is blocked it must be the right way! Doomkaiser destroy that barrier! Death Spectral Howling!", Flynn declared.
Fire burned away the barrier as the others caught up to Flynn. When they counted down the path they found more doors.
"We should just have one of us pick a door.", Isabeau said.
"Alright.", Flynn said, picking the first door he saw.
He looked thoroughly annoyed as he was brought back to the start and tried another door nearby.
"If it ain't, the Samurai guy!", the Terminal Guardian said as Flynn gave him a blank stare.
Flynn slammed the door as the Terminal Guardian panicked. He continued through the dungeon as if he never saw him. He saw that the others got ahead due to him being a Guinea pig and he had to catch up. Eventually he caught up to the others as they stood in front of the final door. That door led them to an ominous hallway with a massive door.
In their way stood a muscular spirit with silver skin and molten red armor. His armor had a bunch of spikes and his wings were like red flames. He had golden eyes and golden markings were along his body. Zelenin tensed, narrowing her eyes at the spirit.
"What a surprise…long time no see, scientist girl.", the spirit said.
"Who is he? Do you know him, Zelenin?", Jonathan questioned as Zelenin looked pained.
"I will deal with him. You Samurai must stop Lucifer as soon as possible.", Zelenin said and the Samurai nodded.
The spirit looked down at the Samurai scoffing as he let them pass.
"I'm not interested in weakling humans anyway.", the spirit said.
"I see you've forgotten that you were beaten by a 'weakling human' or that you were one, Jimenez.", Zelenin replied with an unamused look.
"That's in the past. I've rejected such weakness when I became a spirit.", Jimenez replied with a devilish smile.
"It seems so. Since Hitonari is not here it seems I will finally have my chance to defeat you.", Zelenin replied as she raised up what looked like a Samurai gauntlet on her arm, however hers was golden.
Jimenez formed one out of molten rock on his arm.
With the Samurai…
The Samurai ran forward stopping and gasping in shock when they saw Gina fly back. Doomkaiser caught her and was sent flying against the door with extreme force.
"Gina!", they called out.
They turned their attention to a figure who descended from the sky. The figure was a man with pale skin and long silver hair. He had black armor and eight black feathered wings. In his hand was a sword that gave off an ominous purple glow and in his other hand was a shield. Over his head was a stylized orange halo and his eyes were golden.
The aura he gave on was extremely opposing and full of prestige. It was the kind of aura that would make lesser men grovel at his feet. It had a tainted majesty to it.
Flynn's eyes widened as his head suddenly hurt.
Flashback
The spirit disappeared as Flynn inserted his deck into the gauntlet. His eyes widened when a strange grey fog entered his vision. Within the fog were silhouettes of two figures, a winged man and a dragon. The image disappeared as soon as he had it. Notably putting the top card of his deck in the extra deck slot.
Flashback end
"Lucifer…!", Flynn said as he panted.
"Hehe. So we meet again Flynn…", Lucifer said with a coy smile.
"W-Walter…", Gina murmured as Jonathan went over to her side trying to heal her.
"It will be okay now. What happened to Walter?", Jonathan questioned.
"Walter is gone.", Lucifer said.
"What are you talking about?! What did you do to Walter?!", Flynn questioned, glaring at Lucifer.
"I devoured him so that I may return to my full strength. Ironically it was because of your previous self Ryou that such a thing was necessary.", Lucifer taunted smirking as Flynn gritted his teeth fuming with anger.
Isabeau grabbed Flynn's arm and glared at Lucifer. Jonathan looked completely horrified, unable to believe what he was hearing. To think their fellow had suffered such a horrible fate without them being able to do anything about it. It was like Navarre and Asuma all over again. He focused his efforts on saving Gina praying he could at least save somebody.
"We won't forgive you, Lucifer…for everything you've done. Let's end this!", Isabeau said.
"Unfortunately for you I have not the time to deal with you right now. I'll come back after I've killed G.O.D.!", Lucifer taunted before disappearing in a flash of purple light.
"Come back here you, bastard!", Flynn yelled as he was engulfed in a black aura and charged at Lucifer.
Before he could strike Lucifer he vanished and Flynn yelled into the sky in fury.
"Lucifer!!! Don't run from me! I will chase scum like you to the ends of the Earth and defeat you!", Flynn yelled, enraged.
"Flynn, calm down. He's gone.", Isabeau said as she held his shoulders.
When Flynn faced her she could see tears flowing freely from his eyes.
"What do we do now?", Flynn questioned.
Jonathan set the fully healed Gina down who passed out. He looked over to his fellows with a pained expression. They looked down not knowing what to do or what they could do now.
Suddenly they heard the roar of the Crimson Dragon making them wary. Their signer marks glowed brightly as the Crimson Dragon appeared; he seemed to be saying something.
"He said to…take out your duel runners.", Clear Wing said.
They did so as the Crimson Dragon flowed into the vehicles turning them crimson. He then roared again.
"He wants you to drive forward?! Wait…he knows where G.O.D.'s realm is. He must be trying to take you there.", Clear Wing questioned, sounding confused.
"Alright…we'll trust you this one time.", Flynn said, before he rode forward and his duel runner vanished.
"Michael, can you please take care of Gina.", Jonathan said as he materialized the angel.
"Of course, Warrior of Light.", Michael said as he nodded.
The other two Samurai rode off, vanishing from that space.
"It's up to you now…", Michael thought.

"We'll see about that. I end my turn.", Zelenin said.
With the Samurai…
There was a group of people dueling. A shirtless teen in shorts with gold markings smirked. He had short black hair and red eyes. He also had pointed ears and claws along with what looked like a tiny angel in a nurse outfit flying next to him. The little angel girl chuckled as the teen jumped forward, turning into Garlandolf and wiping out his opponents field which was full of dinosaurs. Lucifer smirked floating behind the teen.
His opponent was a teen with shoulder length blue hair and blue eyes. He wore a long sleeved black shirt and red pants. Over his clothes was a white cape and he had on white headphones.
"Haha! This is what happens when you face chaos, Kazuya!", a man with silver hair and red eyes gloated.
"End him, Demi-Fiend!", the small angel girl cheered.
His opponent raised up his arm in defense. Demi-Fiend drew his fist back as Kazuya gritted his teeth.
Kazuya LP 1800 - 2800 = 0
Kazuya was sent flying back when he was punched in the gut.
"Kazuya!!!", his friends a boy and girl ran up to him.
The girl glared at Demi-fiend. She was a redhead wearing pink clothes. The boy tried to help Kazuya up. He had black hair and dark colored eyes along with a white beanie and blue jacket.
"Kazuya, are you okay?", the boy asked in concern.
"This is not good…thankfully Kazuya wasn't too hurt.", a teenage girl with purple hair and bizarre orange robes said.
With her was a female spirit who floated behind her. Her skin was blue and pink with four arms and a strange dress. She had long black hair and a bizarre pink hat along with a golden ring behind her.
"Just give up, Amane. It's over the forces of G.O.D. have lost.", the silver haired man laugh.
"What do we do?! If Kaz couldn't beat him, who can?", the red haired girl questioned in concern.
"You can lose.", the little angel girl said, before she stuck her tongue out.
"Is it really over…?", the purple haired girl questioned as she sweated.
Their attention was drawn by something suddenly arriving. The area around them rumbled and the roar of the Crimson Dragon could be heard.
"That's…", Lucifer said, before his eyes widened.
The others looked stunned as the Crimson Dragon was briefly visible leaving behind three Samurai on duel runners. Behind Flynn was Doomkaiser who hissed at the forces of chaos. The marks of the Samurai glowed brightly. The female spirit's eyes widened when her eyes landed on Flynn.
"That can't be…", the female spirit murmured.
The Samurai glared intensely at Lucifer who seemed annoyed. Flynn pointed at Lucifer challengingly.
"It's time to duel, you coward!", Flynn said as the others not with him looked stunned.
"And who are you?", the tiny angel questioned.
"I'm Flynn, a Samurai from the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado!", Flynn replied.
"That's not all, Master Flynn has a threat level of twelve and is the Lord of the Undead. That's probably why Lucifer ran away from him with his tail between his legs.", Burroughs added as Isabeau chuckled.
"Did his Siri just hype him up?", Kazuya questioned, sweat dropped.
Demi-Fiend was silent, staring at Flynn intently. He walked forward in front of Lucifer. He raised up a fiendish duel disk.
"Oh yeah! Well Demi-Fiend is the Lord of the Fiends! How's that?!", the little angel replied, puffing her cheeks.
"Duel me.", Demi-Fiend said, simply.
"Heh. If you want to duel me you'll have to defeat my strongest general first. If you can.", Lucifer said.
"I think we both know that's happening, Lucifer.", Jonathan replied.
"You sure seem confident in this guy. He doesn't look too special.", the silver haired guy said as Flynn's fellows held in the urge to laugh at the unprecedented irony.
Flynn raised up his gauntlet and materialized his gauntlet. The boy looked starry eyed to see the gauntlet.
"Woah! Where did you get a duel disk like that?!", the boy questioned.
"This is not the time, Atsuro!", the red haired girl replied.
Flynn's gaze met Demi-Fiend's, both were unwavering.
"Fine then...It's time to duel!", Flynn replied to Demi-Fiend and dematerialized Doomkaiser.
To be continued…
