Ulrich362: It's finally time, the leader of the Shadow Riders.
bopdog111: In the original he fought Jaden, Kevin, and Camula. Will that still happen or will someone else fight him?
Ulrich362: Hard to say, I guess we'll have to find out.
bopdog111: Alright let's see shall we?
Ulrich362: Definitely, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX but we own the OCs!
It was morning the day after Kevin, Jaden, Alexis, and Camula's day together at the lake. Now Kevin was with Camula at the castle together where Kevin was working on his Deck before he sensed something looking out the window surprised, "Cami? Did you sense that?"
"I did, and I have a bad feeling I know what it is." Camula frowned.
Kevin turned to Camula with a serious expression. "HE'S coming isn't he?"
"Yes, he is." she nodded.
With that they transformed into bats flying off together just in time to see several ancient pillars raising from the ground in a circle.
"What's going on?" Kevin asked noticing Jaden, Chazz, Alexis, Chancellor Sheppard, Dr. Crowler, Zane, Syrus, Chumley, and Bastion were all there.
"B-B-Bats!" Syrus cried in shock seeing them.
"Syrus it's just us!" Kevin said before he, and Camula formed to there normal forms.
"Something's happening and... huh, what's that?" Bastion inquired noticing something rising from the ground in the center of the pillars.
It opened showing a device before three cards formed from the light.
"Those must be the Sacred Beasts." Zane frowned.
"I've got them." Chazz mentioned running to grab the cards.
"Those cards don't belong to you!" a deep male voice called stopping Chazz as they looked up seeing a plane fast approaching.
"Chazz hurry and grab the cards!" Kevin cried seeing that.
Chazz hearing that moved only for a orange monster to pop up in front of him stopping him from coming closer.
"What the?" he questioned seeing that.
"Chazz get back!" Jaden told him.
"Those cards are mine."
At that something dropped from the plane which Chazz ran back while landed hard before it rose showing a very elder man in a machine from a tube of water.
"That's Kagemaru, our school superintendent." Sheppard frowned seeing him.
"The Superintendent, then wouldn't he know how dangerous those cards are?" Bastion asked.
"It was I who sealed them away, and gave the Spirit Keys to Sheppard of course." Kagemaru answered at that.
"What?" Jaden questioned.
"Year after year, I had waited for the duelist who has enough potential to break the Sacred Beast's seal, and allows me to reclaim them." Kagemaru's walker walked to the Sacred Beasts cards as he explains this, "The Spirit Keys themselves are worthless the true way to use them is by having Dueling Energy as what my Shadow Riders did to test you all. And now that their released, I can now use them to rule the world!"
"You used the Shadow Riders?" Alexis asked hearing that. "Atticus, Kevin, Camula and the others?"
"All they done was providing with the Dueling Energy needed." Kagemaru answered.
"Well you can forget about taking those cards." Jaden told him.
"And who's going to stop me?" Kagemaru asked as his walker takes the cards shuffling them in his deck, "Of course, I need to sacrifices before going forward. You all will get a front row seat to there might."
"How is anyone supposed to stop cards that strong?" Syrus asked nervously.
"I will." Kevin stepped forward with a glare, "He used Cami for his selfish goal, and it's something I won't forget."
"Be careful Kevin." Zane told him as Atticus arrived looking a bit exhausted as Bastion and Jaden noticed and moved to support him.
"Well Kagemaru, guess you got me to deal with." Kevin glared.
"Ah yes, Kevin Yuki, or known as Kevin Striker in the past. You were Malek's vessel." Kagemaru said looking at him.
Kevin didn't falter from Kagemaru's words. "Well now I am here ready to take you down."
"Pretty bold words for such an arrogant youngster." Kagemaru's Duel Disk activated.
"We will see who the arrogant one is." Kevin activated his own Duel Disk before he turned his head to Camula, "Camula, I'll handle Kagemaru. You just stay with the others in case they need help."
Camula nodded before closing her eyes. "Kevin wait."
Kevin turned over to her hearing that. Camula walked over to him before holding out a card. "I have no idea how powerful the Sacred Beasts will be, but this should help you."
Taking the card Kevin's eyes widen when he sees it's Clear Wing. "Clear Wing? Are you sure, I can use this card?"
"I am." she nodded kissing him before walking back to the others.
Kevin smiled as he placed the card in his Extra Deck, 'Well if Cami says I can use you right then I will believe her.'
"Be careful Kevin." Jaden whispered.
With that the final battle begins.
"DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin)
Kevin: 4000
Hand: 5
Field: Nothing
Kagemaru: 4000
Hand: 5
Field: Nothing
Let the duel commence!
Kevin 1st Turn:
"I'll be going first!" Kevin called looking at his hand. Nodding he takes a card placing it, "And I place a monster face-down!" A set monster materialized before he sets three cards, "Then I place 3 cards down to end my turn."
"A decent start." Bastion admitted to them, "We don't know what kind of monsters the Sacred Beasts are so it's best for defense as quickly as possible."
"True, he needs to keep his guard up." Zane nodded.
Kevin's Hand: 1/Field: One Set Monster, Three Set Cards
Kagemaru 1st Turn:
"Defense won't aid you in what is too come." Kagemaru's walker drew a card as he looked before saying, "And I will begin by placing 3 Trap cards face-down." His walker grabs the cards setting them to the field.
Chazz blinked from his odd choice of words. "Three trap cards? Doesn't he knows how to play the game right?"
"What do you mean?" Syrus asked confused not noticing the words Kagemaru announced.
"You don't say what kind of card you're setting." Zane answered. "It's not against the rules but it is an amateur move."
"Unless of course your summoning a Sacred Beast." Kagemaru said catching there attention, "They require three specific cards of whichever type to use, and here is the first. I then use the Continuous Spell, Temple of the Kings!"
A spell showing a temple rose up.
(face-up)
Temple of the Kings
Continuous Spell Card
You can activate 1 Trap Card the turn it was Set. You can send 1 "Mystical Beast of Serket" in your Monster Zone and this card you control to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 monster from your hand or Deck, or 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. You can only use each effect of "Temple of the Kings" once per turn.
"Due to this trap card's effect I can activate 1 trap card the turn I set it." Kagemaru explained.
Kevin only stared on without flinching. "So your cards need to be face-up to use don't they?"
"Under normal circumstances." Kagemaru confirmed before saying, "However Hype Blaze will ignore it!" A Continuous trap showing a large red serpent monster was attacking with fire.
(face-up)
Hyper Blaze
Continuous Trap Card
To Special Summon "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" using its own procedure, you can also use face-down Traps you control. Once per battle, when an attack is declared involving your "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames": You can send 1 Trap from your hand or Deck to the GY; its ATK/DEF become the number of face-up Traps on the field and in the GYs x 1000, for the rest of this turn. Once per turn: You can discard 1 card; add to your hand or Special Summon, 1 "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames", "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder", or "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms" from your GY, ignoring its Summoning conditions.
"Next I set 1 more Trap card face-down." Kagemaru sets a forth card filling his Spell & Trap Zones before then revealing, "Finally if I want to summon the Sacred Beast, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames using it's summoning condition, I can also use face-down trap cards on my field!"
"A Sacred Beast already?" Alexis questioned in shock.
"I sacrifice my three trap cards..." they flipped revealing Penalty Game!, Fiendish Chain, and Hyper Blaze itself before they all enveloped in flames flying on to Kagemaru behind him on his left as a huge flame pillar shot up before he called, "To summon the first Sacred Beast! Uria, Lord of Searing Flames!"
What emerged from the pillar was the same monster on the trap before it roared loud triggering a strong shockwave on everyone as they watched shocked on seeing it.
(Attack Position)
Uria, Lord of Searing Flames
FIRE
Level 10
Pyro/Effect
ATK: 0
DEF: 0
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by sending 3 face-up Traps you control to the GY. This card gains 1000 ATK for each Continuous Trap in your GY. Once per turn: You can target 1 Set Spell/Trap your opponent controls; destroy that target. Neither player can activate Spell/Trap Cards in response to this effect's activation.
Everyone braced themselves from the shockwave only for Atticus to frown.
"Hold on, a Sacred Beast has no attack points?" he questioned.
"Then it should have a powerful effect..." Camula frowned herself seeing this.
"Of course. For every Continuous Trap card in my graveyard, Uria gains 1000 attack points." Kagemaru explained as Uria glowed.
Uria: (ATK: 0 + (1000 * 2) = 2000)
"1000 for every Continuous Trap?" Kevin asked hearing that.
If that was the case then what were the traps Kagemaru sacrificed for, if they aren't Continuous? Kagemaru sensed his confusion. "Confused, no need to be, you'll find out soon enough. But first I activate Uria's special ability! Trap Destruction!"
Uria roared loud as Kevin's middle face-down flipped revealing Red-Eyes Burn before it shattered.
"An ability to destroy trap cards?" Jaden asked seeing that. "That's not good."
"Well at least it only destroyed one set card." Atticus pointed out.
"An ability that prevents either player from using Spells or Traps in response when Trap Destruction is activated." Kagemaru added at this before calling, "Now Uria attack! Hyper Blaze!"
Uria charged a large blast of flames shooting it at Kevin's face-down while he stepped back. The unlucky monster that was attacked by the Sacred Beast was flipped revealing it was Red-Eyes Wyvern who screeched in agony from the attack of a legendary monster before being disintegrated almost instantly.
"Not good." Chazz frowned.
Kevin grunted before looking at Kagemaru who then said, "Now it's your turn Kevin Yuki."
Kagemaru's Hand: 0/Field: Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (Attack Position/ATK: 2000), Temple of the Kings (face-up), One Set Card
Kevin: 4000
Hand: 1
Field: Two Set Cards
Kagemaru: 4000
Hand: 0
Field: Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (Attack Position/ATK: 2000), Temple of the Kings (face-up), One Set Card
Kevin 2nd Turn:
"Alright, I tested the waters, and now time to get started!" Kevin drew looking before calling, "And to start off, I'll summon Black Dragon's Chick!"
At that the egg appeared before Black Dragon's Chick popped up screeching.
(Attack Position)
Black Dragon's Chick
DARK
Level 1
Dragon/Effect
ATK: 800
DEF: 500
You can send this face-up card you control to the GY; Special Summon 1 "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" from your hand.
"Please, that monster doesn't have the attack points needed to stand against Uria."
Kevin wasn't bothered grabbing another card, "Well you know how kids are right? They grow up to fast! Case in point, Black Dragon's Chick's own ability! By sacrificing him, I can then summon his daddy! Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"
The Chick screeched before evolving into the adult dragon roaring above Kevin.
(Attack Position)
Red-Eyes Black Dragon
DARK
Level 7
Dragon/Normal
ATK: 2400
DEF: 2000
A ferocious dragon with a deadly attack.
"Awesome, it's more powerful than that Sacred Beast." Syrus smiled.
"Well I have to say, thanks."
Suddenly Uria glowed giving Kagemaru energy. (Kagemaru: 6400/Hand: 0)
"What?" Kevin questioned seeing that.
"Take a look."
Looking over to where Kagemaru's walker was gesturing they see a continuous trap showing Uria, and two more powerful monsters each in a energy aura as if giving energy is active.
(face-up)
Awakening of the Sacred Beasts
Continuous Trap Card
This card gains these effects based on the number of "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames", "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder", and/or "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms" with different names you control.
● 1+: Each time your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster(s): Gain LP equal to the ATK of that monster(s).
● 2+: Negate the activated effects of monsters your opponent controls.
● 3: Any monsters sent to your opponent's GY are banished instead.
Once per your turn, if you control a Level 10 monster: You can add 1 Continuous Trap from your GY to your hand.
"Awakening of the Sacred Beasts gains effects based on the number of Sacred Beasts on my field. With Uria by himself, every time you summon a monster there attack points are added to my Life Points."
Kevin grunted at this. "So every time I summon a monster, you gain energy? That's gonna be annoying..."
"Maybe, but he can destroy Uria." Chazz pointed out.
"You heard him Red-Eyes! Take out Uria with Inferno Fire Blast!"
Red-Eyes charged an attack in it's mouth just as Kagemaru's walker grabbed a card, "Awakening of the Sacred Beast's effect activates! Once every turn, while I have a Level 10 monster on the field, I can take a Continuous Trap from the graveyard, and add it to my hand. And I add Hyper Blaze back to my hand."
With a Continuous Trap gone from the graveyard Uria loses power.
Uria: (ATK: 2000 - 1000 = 1000)
That really confused them. Sure, Kagemaru may have gained points to last the attack but still why would he weaken his monster willingly just to add a trap card? While they were thinking Red-Eyes finishes it's attack firing it at Uria who roared when hit before exploding while Kagemaru's walker rocked from the backlash. (Kagemaru: 5000/Hand: 1)
"Why would he do that?" Bastion questioned. "He just increased the damage from Kevin's attack."
"I have a bad feeling about this." Zane frowned.
Kevin frowned but doesn't budge, "I end my turn."
Kevin's Hand: 0/Field: Red-Eyes Black Dragon (Attack Position), Two Set Cards
Kagemaru 2nd Turn:
"My turn draw." Kagemaru's walker drew before he then informed, "First I set Hyper Blaze back on the field." His walker set the card on his field. "Then due to Temple of the King's effect, I can activate it!"
Hyper Blaze flipped before activated just as Kagemaru then revealed, "Next I use it's effect! By discarding 1 card from my hand, I can then... Ahahahaha!"
The pillar of fire shot behind surprising them before Uria popped out again roaring.
Uria, Lord of Searing Flames: (Attack Position/ATK: 0 + 1000 = 1000)
"What the?" Jaden questioned seeing that.
"Kevin already destroyed Uria." Alexis argued.
"Indeed he did. However Hyper Blaze not only allows me to summon Uria easier, it also has two more effects. One of which allows me to discard a card allowing me to either add a Sacred Beast back to my hand, or summon it back from the graveyard ignoring summoning conditions!" Kagemaru revealed to them.
"So that's why you used Awakening... To not only gain points but also use Hyper Blaze for summoning back the Sacred Beasts whenever there destroyed." Kevin said now getting why Kagemaru made such off plays. It was all for him to build his field so Kevin's attempts to stop the Sacred Beasts will do little.
"He's skilled, but Uria isn't strong enough to defeat Kevin's Red-Eyes." Zane noted.
"Don't think too soon Zane. There is one thing Kagemaru hasn't shown yet." Shepherd said to him. "Kagemaru said Hyper Blaze has three effects. And so far only used two of them."
"Kevin the last effect is coming!" Jaden warned which Kevin tensed.
"Let's not get hasty first, Uria's effect activates! Trap Destruction!" Uria roared loud destroying Kevin's second face-down which was Red-Eyes Spirit. "And now Uria attack Red-Eyes!" Uria charged a second blast just as Kagemaru's walker takes a card from his Deck sending it, "Then I send a trap card from my Deck to the graveyard, to activate Hyper Blaze's final effect... for the rest of this turn Uria's attack, and defense points become equal to the number of trap cards on the field or in the graveyards!"
"Wait both sides?" Kevin asked shocked.
Kagemaru has Awakening of the Sacred Beasts, and Hyper Blaze on his field with Penalty Game!, Fiendish Chain, and his sent trap card Lost Wind while Kevin has the two traps Kagemaru destroyed which were Red-Eyes Burn, and Red-Eyes Spirit building to 7 traps.
Uria, Lord of Searing Flames: (ATK: 1000 + (1000 * 6) = 7000/DEF: 0 + (1000 * 7) = 7000)
"That's 4600 points of damage!" Bastion cried in shock.
"Hyper Blaze!"
Uria blast a fire attack at Red-Eyes which Kevin quickly called, "Not so fast, I activate my face-down, Damage Diet!"
Damage Diet
Normal Trap Card
Halve all damage you take this turn. You can banish this card from your Graveyard; halve all effect damage you take this turn. (You cannot halve the same damage twice with this effect.)
"All damage I take is cut in half!" Kevin called as the blast struck Red-Eyes as it roared in agony disintegrating almost instantly before the backlash although reduced due to Damage Diet's effect made Kevin stepped back a couple of feet before kneeling. (Kevin: 1700/Hand: 0)
"Kevin!" Jaden cried seeing that.
"He survived for now." Zane noted.
"Wait, but wouldn't Damage Diet boost Uria's attack points?" Syrus asked seeing that.
"It could but Hyper Blaze only takes the number of traps when it's activated. Traps that are used, or shown after that are excluded." Abidos' voice answered as they looked over seeing Jasmine, and Abidos just arrived. "When we see the chaos happening we headed over as fast as we can. What's going on?"
"Kagemaru, the Superintendent is using the Sacred Beasts to duel Kevin." Zane answered.
"So the leader comes out himself." Abidos said looking over.
Kevin slowly stand up breathing as Kagemaru laughed. "Yes, I knew you would be the correct duelist to duel against Kevin Yuki. Your Dueling Spirit will be perfect for my rule once I defeat you."
"Sorry, but I'm sticking around!" Kevin called.
"B-Boss..." a voice said in Chazz's mind.
"What is it you..." Chazz started before turning. "What the? What's going on with you?"
He sees on the card Ojama Yellow looks weak, "Boss that monster... it's doing something to me."
Chazz figures it's just a feeling of uneasiness. "Just zip it. I'm sure your fine." He looked back at the duel.
"I end my turn Kevin." Kagemaru said to Kevin.
With the trap's end phase, Hyper Blaze's effect wears off.
Uria, Lord of Searing Flames: (ATK: 7000 - (1000 * 6) = 1000/DEF: 7000 - (1000 * 7) = 0)
Kagemaru's Hand: 0/Field: Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (Attack Position/ATK: 1000), Awakening of the Sacred Beasts (face-up), Hyper Blaze (face-up), Temple of the Kings (face-up)
Kevin: 1700
Hand: 0
Field: Nothing
Kagemaru: 5000
Hand: 0
Field: Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (Attack Position/ATK: 1000), Awakening of the Sacred Beasts (face-up), Hyper Blaze (face-up), Temple of the Kings (face-up)
Kevin 3rd Turn:
Kevin at that takes a card drawing, "Draw!" 'Okay I got nothing on my field, and a Sacred Beast staring me down determined to munch on at me. I better get out of this!' "Alright, I start with Pot of Greed!"
The legendary spell appeared beside him.
Pot of Greed
Normal Spell Card
Draw 2 cards.
Kevin drew two cards taking a look at them. 'Perfect!' "And I use the spell, Red-Eyes Fusion!"
Red-Eyes Fusion
Normal Spell Card
Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster that lists a "Red-Eyes" monster as material from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand, Deck, or field as Fusion Material, and if you do, its name becomes "Red-Eyes Black Dragon". You cannot Normal or Special Summon other monsters the turn you activate this card. You can only activate 1 "Red-Eyes Fusion" per turn.
"With it I can fuse Red-Eyes, and Summoned Skull in my Deck!" Kevin called as the two rose up before fusing together, "Come out, Archfiend Black Skull Dragon!"
One of Kevin's most strongest monsters rose up roaring.
(Attack Position)
Archfiend Black Skull Dragon
DARK
Level 9
Dragon/Effect/Fusion
ATK: 3200
DEF: 2500
1 Level 6 "Archfiend" Normal Monster + 1 "Red-Eyes" Normal Monster
You can only Special Summon "Archfiend Black Skull Dragon(s)" once per turn. If this card battles, your opponent's cards and effects cannot be activated until the end of the Damage Step. If damage calculation is performed involving this Fusion Summoned card, at the end of the Battle Phase: You can target 1 "Red-Eyes" Normal Monster in your Graveyard; inflict damage to your opponent equal to its ATK in the Graveyard, then shuffle it into the Deck.
Archfiend Black Skull Dragon: (Name: Red-Eyes Black Dragon)
"His ace." Alexis smiled seeing it.
"Indeed such a strong monster... but due to Awakening's effect, I recover Life Points equal to it's attack points." Kagemaru reminded as Uria gave him more energy. (Kagemaru: 8200/Hand: 0)
"Oh man, it'll take a miracle to win if he keeps gaining life points like that." Syrus frowned.
Kevin only grinned, "Funny you should say that Syrus, cause I have a miracle on the field."
That made them blink before Kevin called, "Alright Skull Dragon attack Uria!" His ace charged a blast at Uria who roared in defiance. Just then Atticus realized, "Oh yeah, I now get what he means!"
"Well, don't leave us in the dark." Chazz pointed out. "What's he talking about, he has no cards on his field and..."
"Wait, is the last card in his hand what I think it is?" Jaden asked suddenly.
"Archfiend Black Skull Dragon's effect! It prevents Kagemaru from using any cards whenever it battles! And with Hyper Blaze's effect unable to activate..." Atticus trailed off for one of them to finish.
"He can destroy Uria." Syrus realized.
"It's more than that Sy, if that last card is the one I think it is... Kevin wins this turn." Jaden grinned.
Archfiend Black Skull Dragon fired the blast striking Uria which made Kagemaru groan from the huge attack. (Kagemaru: 6000/Hand: 0)
"And that's only the start." Kevin grinned, "Next up at the end of the Battle Phase as Archfiend Black Skull Dragon attacked, you take damage equal to a Normal Red-Eyes' attack points in the graveyard, and I shuffle it into the Deck!"
Archfiend Black Skull Dragon summoned a flaming Red-Eyes before it shot forward attacking Kagemaru with a tackle which pushed it back with his walker's glass a little cracked. (Kagemaru: 3600/Hand: 0)
'Come on Kevin... that card ends the duel.' Jaden thought.
"Well that's all I can do this turn but I at least dealt you enough damage to rid those points you gained." Kevin places down a card.
Kevin's Hand: 0/Field: Archfiend Black Skull Dragon (Name: Red-Eyes Black Dragon/Attack Position), One Set Card
Kagemaru 3rd Turn:
"Bah! It's pointless!" Kagemaru's walker drew a card before pointing out, "As long as I have cards to discard, Hyper Blaze will revive Uria indefinitely!"
"I have a bad feeling about this." Alexis frowned.
"And I use Hyper Blaze's effect!"
With Kagemaru discarding a card Uria rose up again from the graveyard roaring.
Uria, Lord of Searing Flames: (Attack Position/ATK: 0 + (1000 * 1) = 1000)
"Then I activate the effect of Chaos Summoning Beast in the graveyard." Kagemaru added while his walker adds a card, "By banishing it from the graveyard, I can add the field spell, Fallen Paradise to my hand."
"Fallen Paradise?" Atticus questioned.
"Observe."
At that everyone appeared in a barren wasteland.
(Field Zone)
Fallen Paradise
Field Spell Card
Your opponent cannot target "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames", "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder", "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms", or "Armityle the Chaos Phantasm" in your Monster Zones with card effects, also those monsters cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects while you control them. If you control "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames", "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder", "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms" or "Armityle the Chaos Phantasm" in your Monster Zone: You can draw 2 cards. You can only use this effect of "Fallen Paradise" once per turn.
"This, what kind of place is this?" Jaden asked looking around only to hear something as he took out his copy of Winged Kuriboh.
To his shock he sees Winged Kuriboh on the card looks really weak.
"Hey, what's wrong bud?" Jaden asked nervously.
"Jaden?" Alexis asked as the others all started taking out their cards to see they were all weakening too with some cards fading.
"With Fallen Paradise on the field, you can't target or destroy the Sacred Beasts with card effects." Kagemaru started to Kevin who grunted, "Then every turn if a Sacred Beast is present on my field, I can draw 2 cards."
His walker drew two cards at that before Kevin noticed them looking at there cards, "Guys what's wrong?"
"Our cards... the images look weak, like they're dying." Jaden answered nervously.
"He's right." Zane answered. "Something's going on, and I have a feeling the Sacred Beasts are responsible."
"Your feeling is correct." Looking towards Kagemaru, "For you see the Sacred Beast's power draws from Duel Monsters itself, the absorb the life energy of the spirits, and give that power onto me." As he said this Uria glowed absorbing energy.
"He's draining our cards?" Jasmine asked in shock hearing that.
"So that's why there sealed. They have the power to destroy Duel Monsters!" Bastion realized.
"But Kevin's cards aren't being affected!" Syrus called seeing Kevin's cards looking okay.
"Kevin's cards aren't being effected as he's dueling in their presence, and their power is beyond all of your's, and with their strength I can use the Sacred Beasts to rule the world! Observe!"
Uria at that gave energy to Kagemaru as the walker glowed bright. He then roared loud only for the tube to shatter shooting water out surprised they looked to see what jumped out was a now younger Kagemaru who is muscular having bandages on his waist for clothing, and having long black hair with two bangs over his shoulders chuckling.
"Ok... that's creepy." Jasmine admitted frowning.
"Gr... That's for show!" Jaden cried.
Kagemaru chuckled smirking grabbing the walker after putting on the Duel Disk, "Is this for show?"
At that he gave a holler throwing the walker out of the distance. Everyone looked stunned seeing that. Kagemaru laughed manically looking over himself. "I like this body. But something's still missing..." He then turned to Kevin. "Oh wait I know! It's your soul Kevin Yuki! Now let's finish this duel!"
Kevin grunted at that. "Gee, no pressure."
"Well let's begin with summoning Dark Beckoning Beast!" Kagemaru called as a small fiend rose in front of him.
(Attack Position)

When this card is Normal Summoned: You can add 1 "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames", "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder", or "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms", OR 1 card that specifically lists any of those cards in its text, from your Deck to your hand, except "Dark Beckoning Beast". You can only use this effect of "Dark Beckoning Beast" once per turn. During your Main Phase, you can Normal Summon 1 Fiend monster with 0 ATK/DEF in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gain this effect once per turn.)
"Whenever this card is summoned, I take 1 Sacred Beast, or a card that mentions them to my hand from the Deck" Kagemaru searched his Deck finding the card he wants, and adds it. "And due to it's Special Ability, I can summon a second Field from my hand without any points a second time, so I'll sacrifice Dark Beckoning Beast to summon Dark Summoning Beast!"
Dark Beckoning Beast vanished in a dark aura before it was replaced with a fiendish humanoid like beast having large wings.
(Attack Position)
Dark Summoning Beast

You can banish this card from your GY; add 1 "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames", "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder", or "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms" from your Deck to your hand.
"I have a bad feeling." Abidos frowned.
"Now I use it's ability! By sacrificing my Beast, I can summon 1 Sacred Beast that's in my Deck ignoring any need to summon it properly!" Kagemaru smirked as Dark Summoning Beast transformed into a large portal beside Kagemaru on his right.
"A second one, aw man." Syrus frowned.
"So now, rise, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder!"
At that what rose was a large yellow skeletal demon with insect like wings roaring.
(Attack Position)
Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder

While this card is in face-up Defense Position, monsters your opponent controls cannot target monsters for attacks, except this one.
"4000 attack points!" Bastion cried in shock. "That's more powerful than Kevin's Archfiend Black Skull Dragon."
Kevin grunted only for Kagemaru to chuckle, "Wishful thinking on my part. However the turn I use Dark Summoning Beast's special ability, I am not allowed to attack."
"That buys him a turn, and actually it could be the key to beating Kagemaru." Zane noted.
"First I change Uria to Defense Position."
Uria lowered it's head in Defense.
Uria, Lord of Searing Flames: (Defense Position)
Kagemaru crossed his arms with a smirk, "It's your turn Kevin."
Kagemaru's Hand: 1/Field: Fallen Paradise (Field Zone), Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder (Attack Position), Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (Defense Position/ATK: 1000), Hyper Blaze (face-up), Awakening of the Sacred Beasts (face-up), Temple of the Kings (face-up)

Kevin 4th Turn:
"Okay my turn! Draw!" Kevin drew looking at his drawn card, 'I can attack Uria to remove it but he would just summon it back... So I gotta focus on Defense for now.' "I switch Archfiend Black Skull Dragon to Defense Position."
Archfiend Black Skull Dragon knelled down.
Archfiend Black Skull Dragon: (Defense Position)
"That's a smart move, he can't take risks right now so Kevin needs to be cautious." Zane admitted.
"Then I place 1 card down." Kevin sets a card before adding, "And next Red-Eyes Wyvern's ability!"
The card glowed in his graveyard as he explained, "By banishing it as I haven't Normal Summoned this turn, it summons Red-Eyes from the graveyard!"
The graveyard portal appeared before Red-Eyes rose up roaring in Defense.
Red-Eyes Black Dragon: (Defense Position)
"I regain Life Points!" Kagemaru reminded about Awakening of the Sacred Beasts while the Sacred Beasts gave him energy. (Kagemaru: 6000/Hand: 1)
"I know." Kevin glared before saying, "I end my turn."
Kevin's Hand: 0/Field: Archfiend Black Skull Dragon (Defense Position), Red-Eyes Black Skull Dragon (Defense Position), Two Set Cards
Kagemaru 4th Turn:
"Haha! That's all you can do against the Sacred Beasts? Please don't insult them they will give me the strength to rule the world! Draw!" Kagemaru drew at that. He then draws 2 more cards, "First off due to Fallen Paradise's effect, once per turn, I can draw 2 cards!" That builds his hand to 4 effectively.
"Not good." Jaden frowned seeing that.
"Then I switch Uria from Defense Position to Attack Position!" Kagemaru added as Uria changed modes roaring.
Uria, Lord of Searing Flames: (Attack Position)
"Then now Hamon attack Archfiend Black Skull Dragon!" Kagemaru called with a smirk as his new Sacred Beast charged a thundercloud above, "Cerulean Skyfire!"
Lightning Bolts charged down with one striking Archfiend Black Skull Dragon destroying it while Kevin braced himself from the force of the blow, "At well... at least I avoided it!"
"Please, you haven't avoided it completely." Kevin turned to Kagemaru who has a smirk. "Whenever Hamon destroys a monster in battle you take 1000 points of damage."
"What?" Another lightning bolt shocked Kevin electrocuting him as he screamed out knelling. (Kevin: 0700/Hand: 0)
"Kevin!" Jaden cried in horror seeing that.
"I'm..." Kevin struggled to get back on his feet, "I'm okay..."
"You won't be for long. Uria attack Red-Eyes! Hyper Blaze!" Uria charged a blast before Kagemaru sent a card, "Then Hyper Blaze's effect!" The trap glowed which he said, "I send a Trap from my Deck to the graveyard to have Uria's attack points become equal to the number of traps on both our fields, and graveyards."
Awakening of the Sacred Beasts, and Hyper Blaze on Kagemaru's field with Penalty Game!, Fiendish Chain, Lost Wind, and his sent card while Kevin has Red-Eyes Burn, Red-Eyes Spirit, and Damage Diet building to 9 traps.
Uria, Lord of Searing Flames: (ATK: 1000 + (1000 * 8) = 9000/DEF: 0 + (1000 * 9) = 9000)
Under the power of the attack Red-Eyes was destroyed quite as easily as last time while Kevin was pushed back enough to land on his back sliding a few feet with a cry.
Seeing that Jaden, Alexis, Zane, Atticus, and Camula all ran to try and help him up.
"That's enough Kagemaru, I'm in." Jaden told him.
"And why should I waste my time with you?" Kagemaru asked him with crossed arms.
Zane put his hand on Jaden's shoulder to stop him from saying anything. "Trust your brother Jaden, Kevin might be in a bad spot but he hasn't lost yet."
"He's right, I know this looks bad but we all know Kevin still has options." Alexis agreed as Camula helped Kevin back to his feet.
Jaden frowned at that but nodded. "Yeah, you guys have a point. I'm just worried... after what happened in the abandoned dorm..."
"Don't worry Jaden, I'll be ok." Kevin reassured him with a smile.
"Such support for someone who is losing."
Kevin glared at Kagemaru. "Listen, it doesn't matter to you but support from my friends, and family is more powerful then you ever know. And together we will stop you!"
"Then come, and try if your so sure." Kagemaru dared grabbing a card, "Before that happens, I use a Continuous Spell, Cerulean Skyfire!"
A spell rose up showing Hamon summoning a thunder cloud.
(face-up)
Cerulean Skyfire
Continuous Spell Card
To Special Summon "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder" using its own procedure, you can also use face-down Spells you control. Once per turn, while you control an Attack Position "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder", you can negate any Spell/Trap effect activated by your opponent, then, change 1 "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder" you control to Defense Position. If a face-up "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames", "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder", or "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms" you control leaves the field: You take no damage this turn.
"Whenever I want to summon Hamon using it's summoning conditions I can use face-down spells also." Kagemar covered first with a smirk, "As for the other effects... I'll let you know when the time is right."
Uria, Lord of Searing Flames: (ATK: 9000 - (1000 * 7) = 2000/DEF: 9000 - (1000 * 9) = 0)
"He needs a miracle." Syrus frowned.
Kagemaru's Hand: 3/Field: Fallen Paradise (Field Zone), Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder (Attack Position), Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (Attack Position/ATK: 2000), Cerulean Skyfire (face-up), Hyper Blaze (face-up), Awakening of the Sacred Beasts (face-up), Temple of the Kings (face-up)

Kevin 5th Turn:
"Okay... My turn!" Kevin drew looking before he called, "And I use my face-down, Call of the Haunted!"
His face-down was flipped.
(face-up)
Call of the Haunted
Continuous Trap Card
Activate this card by targeting 1 monster in your GY; Special Summon that target in Attack Position. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. When that monster is destroyed, destroy this card.
"With this I can summon a monster from the graveyard! Come back Red-Eyes!" Kevin called as Red-Eyes starts to emerge.
"You mean you could've?" Kevin blinked before Kagemaru called, "Cerulean Skyfire's effect!" His new Continuous Spell glowed. "So now whenever you try to activate a Spell or Trap Card or it's effect while Hamon is in Attack Position, I can change Hamon to Defense Position!"
Hamon knelled down bringing it's wings in front of it.
Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder: (Defense Position)
"In exchange, the card you try to use is negated." Kagemaru smirked which Call of the Haunted vanished from it's activation negated.
"This is bad, what can Kevin do now?" Bastion questione
Kevin looked at his current field before his eyes widen before he grinned, "Well I got this! I summon Junk Synchron!"
At that a yellow gadget like monster rose up.
(Attack Position)
Junk Synchron
DARK
Level 3
Warrior/Effect/Tuner
ATK: 1300
DEF: 500
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 Level 2 or lower monster in your GY; Special Summon that target in Defense Position, but negate its effects.
"What?" Kagemaru questioned. "What kind of card is that?"
"Something that Cami, and her people used, and she taught it to me. When Junk Synchron is Normal Summoned, Black Dragon's Chick comes back only it can't have it's abilities!"
Black Dragon's Chick rose back up screeching.
Black Dragon's Chick: (Defense Position/Effects Negated)
"Is there a point to this?" Kagemaru questioned. "Nothing you play can compare to my Sacred Beasts."
And due to Awakening's effect Kagemaru gains points. (Kagemaru: 8100/Hand: 3)
"Well I have another face-down, Hope for the Vampires!" Kevin called using a trap showing lots of bats, and vampires roaming in the night.
Hope for the Vampires
Normal Trap Card
Banish 1 monster from your GY: 1 monster you control has it's Level become equal to the Level of the banished monster's, also Special Summon 2 monsters from your Extra Deck (1 Fusion Monster and 1 Synchro Monster), by using monsters you control as both Fusion and Synchro Materials including the selected monster. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon for the Fusion Monster and a Synchro Summon for the Synchro Monster.) During your opponent's Standby Phase, you can banish this card from your GY: Change all monsters you control to Defense Position, then Special Summon 1 monster from your GY in Defense Position. You can only activate 1 "Hope for the Vampires" per turn.
"By banishing Summoned Skull, Junk Synchron's Level becomes equal to it's!"
Junk Synchron: (LV: 3 + 3 = 6)
"Then I can summon two monsters from my Extra Deck one a Synchro Monster, and the other a Fusion Monster using the monster I changed levels with Black Chick!" Kevin called at that while Junk Synchron, and Black Dragon's Chick duplicated.
"Hope for the..." Jaden started turning to Camula.
"I've never seen that card." she admitted.
"First I fuse Junk Synchron with Black Dragon's Chick!"
The two flew up fusing together before Kevin spread his arms calling, "I Fusion Summon! Come, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!"
The Dragon he used against Banner rose up roaring.
(Attack Position)
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon
DARK
Level 8
Dragon/Effect/Fusion
ATK: 2800
DEF: 2000
2 DARK monsters on the field, except Tokens
If this card is Fusion Summoned: You can make this card gain ATK equal to 1 opponent's Special Summoned monster, until the end of this turn. Once per turn: You can target 1 Level 5 or higher monster your opponent controls; until the End Phase, this card's name becomes that monster's original name, and replace this effect with that monster's original effects. If this Fusion Summoned card is destroyed: You can destroy all your opponent's Special Summoned monsters.
"That dragon is worthless in the face of my Sacred Beasts." Kagemaru smirked.
"Wait cause I'm not done!" Kevin called as the other two flew up tuning together.
(LV: 1 + 6 = 7)
"I Synchro Summon! Come out to the field, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!"
Camula's dragon rose beside Kevin's roaring flying beside it.
(Attack Position)
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon

Once per turn, when a monster effect is activated that targets 1 Level 5 or higher monster on the field (and no other cards) (Quick Effect): You can negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it. If this card's effect destroys a monster, this card gains ATK equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK until the end of this turn.
The two dragons seemed to acknowledge each other before roaring at the Sacred Beasts.
"Kevin has both his dragon, and Camula's at once." Abidos said seeing this, "Will they be enough against the Sacred Beasts?"
"We will see cause Starving Venom's ability activates!" Kevin called as Starving Venom glowed a bit, "When he's Fusion Summoned, he can absorb the attack points of 1 Special Summoned monster on your field Kagemaru!"
"Fallen Paradise prevents my Sacred Beasts from being targeted." Kagemaru reminded with a smirk.
Kevin smirked himself, "That's the cherry on top... This effect doesn't target whatsoever!"
"That means he can gain Hamon's 4000 points." Jaden grinned.
Starving Venom glowed but Kagemaru smirked before a barrier popped up blocking the effect surprising them while Kagemaru chuckled explaining, "A good try... However due to Awakening's second effect while I have two Sacred Beasts on the field, all of your monster effects that activates are negated."
Not only that Awakening's first effect gives Kagemaru more strength. (Kagemaru: 13400/Hand: 3)
"13400 life points?" Syrus asked nervously. "Oh man... he can't win."
"Too soon Sy." Jaden said to him.
Kevin grunted before saying, "I end my turn."
Kevin's Hand: 0/Field: Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (Attack Position), Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (Attack Position)
Kagemaru 5th Turn:
"Then my turn draw." Kagemaru drew.
Kevin quickly called, "During your Standby Phase..." Kagemaru blinked from this. "I banish Hope for the Vampires to use it's effect! All my monsters do to Defense Position!"
Clear Wing, and Starving Venom both moved for defense.
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: (Defense Position)
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon: (Defense Position)
"In addition, I can summon back a monster from the graveyard! Black Dragon's Chick come!" Kevin called as Black Dragon's Chick rise again roaring.
Black Dragon's Chick: (Defense Position)
"Three monsters, but he gets even more life points." Syrus frowned.
"I hate to say it, but at this point I have trouble seeing even Yugi himself turning this duel around." Bastion admitted.
(Kagemaru: 14200/Hand: 4)
"Get all the defense you want." Kagemaru looked at his hand before grabbing one card calling, "I activate the Spell, Phantasmal Martyrs!"
Phantasmal Martyrs
Normal Spell Card
While you have at least 2 other cards in your hand, and control "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" or "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder": Send your entire hand to the GY; Special Summon 3 "Phantasmal Martyr Tokens" (Fiend/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Attack Position.
"With more then 2 cards in my hand, and Uria, and Hamon on my field, I send my hand to the graveyard to summon 3 of these! Phantasmal Martyr Tokens!"
With that three small skeletal fiends rose up on his fiend in front of him.
(Attack Position)
Phantasmal Martyr Token
DARK
Level 1
Fiend/Token
ATK: 0
DEF: 0
Special Summoned by the effect of "Phantasmal Martyrs".
"Then Fallen Paradise's effect! I draw 2 cards!" Kagemaru drew two cards before adding, "Then Hyper Blaze's effect!" The trap glowed as he discards a card, "I discard 1 card from my hand to add a Sacred Beast back to my hand from the graveyard."
"This is very bad." Sheppard frowned.
Kagemaru adds a card before he smirked, "And now time..." Kevin braced himself before Kagemaru pointed out while the wind howls, "I sacrifice my three Phantasmal Martyr Tokens to summon the final Sacred Beast!"
The three tokens vanished before a large thunderstorm emerged from the sky firing a blast down in between Hamon, and Uria while everyone braced themselves from the large force while Kagemaru called out, "COME, RAVIEL, LORD OF PHANTASMS!"
They watch as a huge blue skinned fiend with large claws, and large wings rose in between Hamon, and Uria before roaring loud.
(Attack Position)
Raviel, Lord of Phantasms
DARK
Level 10
Fiend/Effect
ATK: 4000
DEF: 4000
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing 3 Fiend monsters. Each time your opponent Normal Summons a monster: Special Summon 1 "Phantasm Token" (Fiend/DARK/Level 1/ATK 1000/DEF 1000), but it cannot declare an attack. Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 monster; this card gains ATK equal to the Tributed monster's original ATK, until the end of this turn.
Everyone looked stunned seeing all three Sacred Beasts.
"Now I switch Hamon from Defense Position to Attack Position!"
Hamon rose up from this.
Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder: (Attack Position)
"Now Raviel attack Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" Kagemaru smirked as Raviel raised a claw, "Shimmering Scrapper!" Raviel thrust it's hand striking Starving Venom destroying it while Kevin stepped back only to notice something. "Starving Venom?" The card isn't in the graveyard.
"Confused?" Kevin looked at Kagemaru who smirked, "With Awakening on the field if all three of the Sacred Beasts are on the field, it's last effect makes it to where any monster sent to the graveyard is banished instead."
"Banished, great as if he didn't have enough trouble." Chazz frowned.
"Now Hamon attack Clear Wing! Cerulean Skyfire!"
Hamon fired another bolt of lightning striking Clear Wing destroying her, and banishing it while Kevin frowned at the speckles of light. 'Sorry, Clear Wing...'
"Then Hamon's effect! When he destroys a monster in battle you take 1000 points of damage!"
Hamon charged an attack at Kevin who called, "Damage Diet's effect!" The trap vanished from his graveyard. "I banish this card to halve all effect damage I take this turn!" The bolt struck him causing him to scream getting on all fours. (Kevin: 0200/Hand: 0)
"Fine you got lucky. Uria!" Kagemaru called as Uria readied a fire blast firing at Black Chick destroying, and also banishing it clearing Kevin's field.
"No cards on his field, no cards in his hand and only 200 life points." Atticus frowned.
"He still has a way to win, right?" Jasmine asked nervously.
"Kevin it be best for you to give up. Nothing you do will change anything."
Kevin slowly stood up breathing, "S-Sorry... but what does 'give up' mean?" Kagemaru frowned with a raised eyebrow as Kevin glared at Kagemaru. "Talk to someone else about it... I'll never give up, no matter how hard, or tough things get, I will not throw in the towel! No matter the reason what I won't stop!"
Kagemaru shrugged setting a card. "Your funeral."

Kevin 6th Turn:
Kevin stared thinking, 'There is a Life Point difference of 14000, no cards on my field, no cards in my hand...' He looked at his hand before clenching it, 'This is the final turn!' With that he called, "My turn! Draw!"
"Before you do anything I activate the Continuous Trap, Summon Limit!" Kagemaru called as a trap popped out.
(face-up)
Summon Limit
Continuous Trap Card
Neither player can Summon more than two times per turn. (Negated Summons count toward this limit. Negated cards/effects that would Summon do not count.)
"As long as this card remains on the field, we can only summon a monster only 1 time each turn."
"A card that limits summons now?" Kevin asked annoyed.
Kagemaru smirked raising a finger, "You now only have ONE chance to summon a monster, and change things around."
"He's doomed." Syrus panicked.
Taking a look at the card he drawn Kevin then turned to Camula.
"Kevin?" she inquired seeing that.
Kevin smiled to her, "It's do or die time. If this fails... then we're goners."
She nodded in understanding at that.
Kevin turned back before calling, "I activate... the spell, Hope for the Future!"
Hope for the Future
Normal Spell Card
If you have no cards in your hand, and control no other cards: This card's activation, and effect cannot be negated. Target 5 Level 5 or higher monsters in your GY or had that been banished: Special Summon those monsters, ignoring summoning conditions then make there ATK become double there original ATK, then destroy all Spell & Traps your opponent controls. Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to these summons. During your End Phase: Take 4000 damage.
"So now with no cards on my field or in my hand, it can summon 5 monsters that are banished or in my graveyard with double there points, and you can't stop it from happening!" Kevin called before raising his hand, "So now come on back!"
Five light portals appeared before what pops out are Clear Wing, Starving Venom, Archfiend Black Skull Dragon, Summoned Skull, and Red-Eyes.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon: (Attack Position/ATK: 2500 x 2 = 5000)
Starving Venom: (Attack Position/ATK: 2800 x 2 = 5600)
Archfiend Black Skull Dragon: (Attack Position/ATK: 3200 x 2 = 6400)

(Attack Position)
Summoned Skull
DARK
Level 6
Fiend/Normal
ATK: 2500
DEF: 1200
A fiend with dark powers for confusing the enemy. Among the Fiend-Type monsters, this monster boasts considerable force.
(This card is always treated as an "Archfiend" card.)
Summoned Skull: (ATK: 2500 x 2 = 5000)
"And in addition all of your spells, and traps are destroyed!"
"There all what?"
All five of the monsters fired attacks destroying Fallen Paradise, Hyper Blaze, Awakening of the Sacred Beasts, Temple of the Kings, Ceurlean Skyfire, and Summon Limit.
"Talk about a miracle draw." Jaden grinned.
"Alright Archfiend Black Skull Dragon, Summoned Skull, Red-Eyes take out the Sacred Beasts!"
All three charged attacks firing at the three Sacred Beasts destroying them this time for good while Kagemaru was pushed back from the force. (Kagemaru: 8200/Hand: 0)
"Impossible!" Kagemaru cried.
"And now Clear Wing, Starving Venom!" The two readied before he called, "Finish him off!"
They charged forward attacking while Kagemaru screams from the attacks.
Kevin: 0200

Kagemaru: 0000
Hand: 0
Field: Nothing
Kevin wins!
"Impossible! The Sacred Beasts can't be defeated!" Kagemaru protested knelling in defeat before screaming, "Noooo!" The energy that was built in him was released dispersing in all of the cards in the world again.
"He did it." Chumley cheered.
"Of course, I never doubted it for a second." Syrus smiled.
"Whatever you say Sy." Jaden laughed.
Kevin himself was breathing looking at Kagemaru, "S-See Kagemaru... I'd... I'd never give up... like I sa..." He closed his eyes falling backwards.
He felt someone catch him as he saw Zane and Atticus both smiling.
"Sheesh... that was tough." Kevin admitted to them tired.
"True, but it's over now." Zane told him. "Get some rest, you've more than earned it."
Jaden meanwhile walked to Kagemaru who was now back to his elder form breathing looking up at them, "Yes... You see my real self now... An Old Man... A decrypted old man... Desiring for what you ask, what any old man wants! To be young again! The power of the Sacred Beasts was the only way how. Can't you forgive a decrypted old soul for delusions?"
"Of course." Jaden smiled to him, "But stealing power isn't the way to feel alive. You gotta find the strength in yourself."
"I can't... It's too late." Kagemaru said to him.
Jaden encouraged, "It's never too late. Come on try, and get up right now. Just go for it, give it your all!"
With that Kagemaru took Jaden's shoulder standing up slowly as Jaden tried to assist him when it looked like he's gonna fall before Kagemaru notices he's standing up before saying, "Hey look... I'm standing! It must've been our duel yes that's it! All the excitement put the spring in my spine!"
"That's the spirit." Jaden smiled.
Camula knelled to Kevin who had his eyes closed sleeping peacefully. She smiled softly kissing his forehead.
Ulrich362: Kevin managed to beat Kagemaru... somehow, it really took multiple miracles but he won.
bopdog111: And that's almost the Sacred Beast Arc right?
Ulrich362: Yeah, just one thing left.
bopdog111: What will that be?
Ulrich362: We'll have to wait and see, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
