Chapter 11: Predator Plants vs Yubel


United World - Central Academia

"Duel!" Yuri and Yubel declared.

Yubel LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Yuri LP: 4000, Hand: 5

"I'll start this Duel!" Yubel grabbed a card from its hand. "I start with the Continuous Magic: Magic Chronicle!" A scroll appeared next to Yubel and opened. "When this card is activated, I banish five cards from my deck! I choose these cards!" Yubel showed its cards before they vanished.

"I summon Sacrifice Lotus (ATK: 0, LV: 1)! Then I set one card and end my turn!" Yubel finished its turn.

Yubel LP: 4000, Hand: 2
Yuri LP: 4000, Hand: 5

"My turn! Draw!" Yuri drew his card. "I summon Predator Plants Ophrys Scorpio (ATK: 1200, LV: 3)!" Yuri summoned a venomous plant. "When Ophrys Scorpio is summoned, I send one Predator Plant monster from my hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon a Level 3 or lower Predator Plant monster from my deck!"

"I Special Summon Predator Plants Darling Cobra (ATK: 1000, LV: 3)!" Yuri summoned another plant. "Then, I activate Darling Cobra's Monster Effect! When this monster is Special Summoned, I can add the Magic Card: Fusion to my hand! Then, I activate it!" Yuri quickly activated the card.

"I fuse Ophrys Scorpio with Darling Cobra!" The two monsters entered the spiraling vortex.

"Two plants with a poisonous fragrance! Become one now and create a plant that devours everything! Fusion Summon! Appear! Level 7! Predator Plants Chimerafflesia (ATK: 2500, LV: 7)!" Yuri summoned one of his Fusion Plants.

"Because you activated a Magic Card, Magic Chronicle will gain a counter!" Yubel pointed to its scroll.

Magic Chronicle (Counter: 0→1)

"Chimerafflesia's Monster Effect! Once per turn, I can target one monster on a field with a Level equal or lower than this monster and banish it! I banish your Sacrifice Lotus!" Yubel's plant disappeared from the field.

"Take this! Battle! Chimerafflesia! Direct Attack!" Chimerafflesia unleashed and stream of acid towards Yubel and she winced from the burns.

Yubel LP: 4000→1500

"Well done…but my pain is also my gain." Yubel said. "I activate my Trap Card: Painful Love!"

"Painful Love?" Yuri had never seen that card before.

"When I take damage from a direct attack, I'm allowed to Special Summon any monster from my hand, deck or Graveyard that is equal or less than the damage that I have taken! From my deck, I Special Summon Yubel (ATK: 0, LV: 10)!" Yubel summoned itself to the field.

"Damn…" Yuri cursed. "But I did manage to deal a lot of damage to her. I just need to get the right cards to bypass Yubel's effect and deal damage." Yuri looked his hand and grabbed one of his cards. "I set one card and end my turn!"

Yubel LP: 1500, Hand: 2
Yuri LP: 4000, Hand: 3

"My turn! Draw!" Yubel drew its card. "I activate the Quick-Play Magic: Burial From a Different Dimension! I select three monsters that have been banished, I return them to the Graveyard! I return Sacrifice Lotus along with the two monsters that I banished with Magic Chronicle!" Yubel returned three cards to her Graveyard.

"Crap, now with Sacrifice Lotus back in her Graveyard, it can use its effect to keep Yubel in play." Yuri thought.

"Quick-Play Magic: Fusion Cancel!" Yuri played his set card. "I return Chimerafflesia to my Extra Deck and Special Summon Ophrys Scorpio (DEF: 800, LV: 3) in Defense Position and Darling Cobra (ATK: 1000, LV: 3) in Attack Position!"

"So, you summoned your monsters in the position that they have less points, huh? But your Fusion Cancel has helped my Magic Chronicle gain another counter!" Yubel pointed to the Magic Chronicle.

Magic Chronicle (Counter 1→2)

"Now by removing two counters from Magic Chronicle, I can add one of the banished cards to my hand! But Yuri, you will be the one to pick it. Now, which one will you choose?" Yubel asked.

"All those cards are bad news. They either enhance Yubel or prevent my monsters from using their card effects. Especially my Starve Venom Fusion Dragon." Yuri thought.

"I choose Drain Shield." Yuri pointed to the right card. Yubel added the card to its hand as her Magic Chronicle reset itself.

Magic Chronicle (Counter 2→0)

"Battle! I attack Darling Cobra!" Yubel forced Darling Cobra to attack which made Yubel create a wall of thorns around itself. "Nightmare Pain!" The thorns then struck Yuri, making him wince.

Yuri LP: 4000→3000

"I set three cards and during the End Phase, Sacrifice Lotus is Special Summoned from the Graveyard." The lotus appeared on the field. "And I use Sacrifice Lotus as a sacrifice to keep Yubel in play. I end my turn!" Sacrifice Lotus disappeared again.

Yubel LP: 1500, Hand: 0
Yuri LP: 3000, Hand: 3

"My turn! Draw!" Yuri drew his card.

"I activate my Trap Card: Battle Mania!" Yubel played one of her set cards. "This card forces my opponent's monsters into Attack Position and they must attack this turn!" The card forced Ophrys Scorpio into Attack Position.

Ophrys Scorpio (ATK: 1200, LV: 3)

Yuri looked at the card he drew and he smiled. "I activate the Continuous Magic: Ivy Bind Castle!" A castle of Ivy began to surround Yubel.

"This card negates the effects of all cards my opponent controls and prevents their monsters from attacking! Also, once per turn, during my opponent's Standby Phase, they are inflicted with 800 points of damage! With this, your effect is negated!" Yuri smirked.

"From my Graveyard, I activate the effect of Magic Blossom!" Yubel removed a card from its Graveyard. "When my opponent activates a Magic Card that affects cards on my field, by banishing card from the game, that Magic Card's activation is negated and destroyed!" Yubel destroyed Yuri's card.

"Damn…I don't have a choice." Yuri growled. "From my hand, I activate the Magic Card: Fusion Sage! I add the Magic Card: Fusion to my hand and activate it!" Yuri played another Fusion. I fuse Darling Cobra and Ophrys Scorpio!" The two monsters entered the spiraling vortex again.

"Two beautiful flowers with an insect-alluring fragrance! Now become one, and from the hell beneath your petals, give birth to a new terror! Fusion Summon! Appear! Poisonous dragon with hungry fangs. Level 8! Starve Venom Fusion Dragon (ATK: 2800, LV: 8)!" Yuri summoned his dragon.

"With Fusion Sage and Fusion, you filled my Magic Chronicle once more." Yubel pointed to the Chronicle.

Magic Chronicle (Counter: 0→2)

"Starve Venom Fusion Dragon's effect activates! Once per turn, I can target one Level 5 or higher monster my opponent controls and have its effects negated!" Starve Venom attempted to take Yubel's power.

"You know there's no point in doing that, right?" Yubel questioned Yuri. "The moment you attack, I will use Drain Shield to negate your attack and recover my Life Points."

"I know that. That's why I have this card! I activate the Magic Card: Heavy Storm!" Yuri showed his card which made Yubel gasp. "This card destroys all Magic and Trap Cards on the field!" Yubel's cards were destroyed and she winced in pain.

Yubel LP: 1500→500

"Huh? Your Life Points went down?" Yuri raised an eyebrow.

"When Magic Chronicle is destroyed, I take 500 points of damage for each card that is currently banished by this card's effect." Yubel glared.

"Then I'll put you out of your misery! Battle! Starve Venom Fusion Dragon, attack Yubel! Acid Venomous Blast!" Starve Venom gathered power in its wings and unleashed a poisonous attack.

"I activate the Trap Card that you destroyed! Ascension Terror! When a Yubel on my field is targeted for an attack, I can destroy Yubel and negate the attack!" Yubel destroyed itself.

"You destroyed yourself?" Yuri was surprised.

"I activate Yubel's final effect! When it is destroyed by a card effect, other than its own, I can Special Summon its evolved form!" Yubel smiled.

"Evolved form?!" Yuri exclaimed.

"Appear! Yubel – Das Abscheluich Ritter (ATK: 0, LV: 11)!" Yubel summoned a dragon like version of itself.

"I-It's huge…" Yuri sweated; it was much larger than Starve Venom. "I end my turn." Yuri finished his turn.

Yubel LP: 500, Hand: 0
Yuri LP: 4000, Hand: 2

"My turn! Draw!" Yubel drew her card. "I activate the Continuous Magic: Painful Love! Battle! Starve Venom Fusion Dragon, attack me!" Yubel hypnotized Starve Venom and it attacked, but Yubel sent the shockwaves back to Yuri who grunted in pain.

Yuri LP: 4000→1200

"At this moment, Painful Love's effect activates! Whenever my opponent takes damage, I recover that same amount to my Life Points!"

Yubel LP: 500→3300

"At the End Phase, Sacrifice Lotus returns from the Graveyard." Sacrifice Lotus came back. "However, I don't need to sacrifice it to keep myself on the field. During the End Phase, I destroy all monsters on my field and then destroy as many monsters on my opponent's field that were on mine! Fellow Sacrifice!" Starve Venom glowed red before being destroyed.

"Starve Venom Fusion Dragon's Monster Effect! When it is destroyed, I can destroy as many Special Summoned monsters my opponent controls!" Yuri pointed to the pool of acid Starve Venom left behind and it headed towards Yubel and it burned it.

"Thank you, Yuri…" Yubel smiled. "When Das Abscheluich Ritter leaves the field, I can Special Summon my ultimate form!" Yubel grabbed a card from its deck.

"Fiend that turns its pain into power, achieve the ultimate apex of love and become the ultimate shield! Appear! Level 12! Yubel – Das Extremer Traurig Drachen (ATK: 0, LV: 12)!" Yubel summoned its ultimate form.

"Starve Venom's effect also inflicts damage equal to the destroyed monster's Attack Points. But your Attack Points are 0." Yuri gritted his teeth.

"You're Starve Venom Fusion Dragon is the most dangerous of the Four Dimension Dragons, but its power is no match for mine. I can't be destroyed in battle and any damage inflicted to me is reduced to 0 and the same amount is inflicted to my opponent. Furthermore, any monster who has battled me will be destroyed and sent to the Graveyard." Yubel explained her powers. "With this, my victory is assured."

"Is that so?" Yuri questioned.

"What?" Yubel was shocked that Yuri wasn't scared.

"I will admit that your evolved forms did catch me off guard. But you should never assume that victory is yours, especially in a game like this." Yuri declared.

"I have studied your deck and not even Starve Venom's evolved form, Greedy Venom can defeat me." Yubel pointed out.

"Maybe Starve Venom can't beat you by himself, but he's not by himself. I'll show you that as soon as you end your turn." Yuri crossed his arms confidently.

"I end my turn." Yubel finished its turn.

Yubel LP: 3300, Hand: 0
Yuri LP: 1200, Hand: 2

"My turn! Draw!" Yuri drew his card. "Thanks, little brother." Yuri smiled at the card. "By sending two Predator Plant monsters from my hand to the Graveyard, I can activate the Continuous Magic: Predator Plant Armor!" Plants sprouted from the ground and encased Yuri in a green colored armor.

"Then, I activate Predator Plant Armor's effect! I fuse this card along with a monster in my Graveyard for a Fusion Summon!" Yuri revealed.

"You're gonna fuse with your dragon?!" Yubel's eyes widened. Yuri's Duel Disk glowed and Starve Venom reappeared and it entered the spiraling vortex with Yuri.

"Poisonous Dragon! Armor of vicious plants! Become one and create an armor that is powerful enough to make hell freeze over! Fusion Summon! Level 8! Soldier of Venom, Yuri (ATK: 2800, LV: 7)!" Yuri appeared in a purple and black armor and pulled a purple sword from his scabbard.

"That armor…" Yubel sweated.

"I activate Soldier of Venom's effect! Once per turn, I can select one Level 5 or higher monster on the field and negate its effect!" Yuri thrust his sword into the ground and thorns appeared and tied up Yubel.

"My…My power…" Yubel felt its power leaving its body.

"Furthermore, I gain 800 Attack Points for every Predator Plant monster in my Graveyard! With four, I gain 3200 Attack Points!" Yuri felt power surging in him.

Yuri (ATK: 2800→6000)

"6000 Attack Points?!" Yubel's eyes widened.

"Battle! I attack Yubel - Das Abscheluich Ritter! Acid Venomous Slasher!" Yuri had his sword become covered in acid and he jumped towards Yubel and slashed right across its head, beheading the monster and the body started melting into acid.

Yubel LP: 3300→0

Winner: Yuri

"It's over…" Yuri looked at the beheaded Yubel. "You picked the wrong side, but with this, you can't turn your pain against others."

Yuri looked at the sky. What Yubel said about Yuya before their Duel made him concerned for his little brother. "Yuya…I hope you're alright."


Duel Monsters Spirit World – Ancient Forest

"Okay, time to move again." Yuya was fully rested and he picked up Atem. "We can't give the army more time to look for us."

But before Yuya could move, her heard a twig snap. "Who's there?!" Yuya activated his Duel Disk and he turned to a tree to his right. Stepping out of from behind was…

"Rin?" Yuya's eyes widened as Rin revealed herself. "Rin, what are you doing here? How did you get here?" Yuya set Atem down. Rin looked away with a sad expression.

"Are you here to take us back to the real world? If so, that's great." Yuya went up and hugged Rin. "I really missed you. How is Yukio?" Yuya looked at Rin, who didn't meet his gaze. "Rin? What's wrong? Why are—" Yuya gasped as he felt a sharp pain in his side.

"I'm sorry…" Rin whimpered. They both looked down where Rin had stabbed Yuya with a sharp knife. She pulled the knife out and went to stab Yuya again, but this time Yuya caught her wrist.

"Rin, what are you doing?" Yuya winced from the injury.

"She has Yukio…she has all of them." Rin tearfully explained.

"No…" Yuya realized who she was talking about. "Rin, I'll get them back, I'll save you too." Rin went to stab Yuya again but he jumped back.

"Yuya, I have to save my baby. I have to no matter what." Rin cried.

"Rin, let me help you. We can save Yukio. We're his parents, we have to work together not fight each other." Yuya said.

"Now you want to work together…after you abandoned us…." Rin's expression changed to anger.

"I didn't abandon you, I wanted to protect you." Yuya tried to explain. "I had to stop Genesis's plan."

"Enough excuses!" Rin's bracelet released a green light and wind hit Yuya hard, making him hit a tree trunk hard. "You're no better than when Yusho abandoned you! Yukio doesn't know you're his father! Every time he looks at your picture, he has a confused face!"

"Rin…I'm sorry…" Yuya apologized. "I promise, I'll be more attentive to Yukio. To you."

"Then hand over Atem." Rin said.

"What? Atem?" Yuya looked at his unconscious friend.

"Genesis needs Atem, I don't know what for, but if I give him to her, she'll give back Yukio and the others! If you love us, surrender Atem." Rin gave the ultimatum.

"Rin…" Yuya stood up. "You know…I can't do that…Atem is my friend."

"You're choosing your friend over your own family." Rin got upset.

"I'm choosing to do the right thing. Rin, you have a choice too. You and the others are smart and strong, together you defeated Eve, so you can defeat Genesis too." Yuya reminded Rin. "I know you can…"

Rin looked at the bloodied knife in her hand before looking at the pleading Yuya.


Space

"Duel!" Asuka and Saio declared.

Asuka LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Saio LP: 4000, Hand: 5

"I'm going first!" Asuka grabbed two cards from her hand. "By releasing a Warrior or Fairy-type monster from my hand or field, I can Special Summon this monster! I release Cyber Angel Benten! Appear! Cyber Tutubon (ATK: 1800, LV: 5)!" A small female monster appeared on the field.

"When Cyber Angel Benten is released, I can add one Light Fairy-type monster from my deck to my hand! I set one card and end my turn!" Asuka finished her turn.

Asuka LP: 4000, Hand: 3
Saio LP: 4000, Hand: 5

"My turn! Draw!" Saio drew his card. "It looks like the gears of destiny are beginning to turn. The destiny between the light and the darkness as well as the Hero's Final Journey."

"The Hero's Final Journey?" Asuka questioned.

"It's a destiny that I had foreseen regarding your friend, Yuya. Though I only gave him the shortened version of it. As of now, the prophecy has reached 50% at the moment." Saio said.

"What prophecy are you talking about?" Asuka questioned.

"I summon Arcana Force VII – The Chariot (ATK: 1700, LV: 4)!" Saio brought out a monster that looked like an alien. "My Arcana Forces gain different effects while right side up or upside down." The card started spinning and then stopped right side up.

"Battle! The Chariot, attack Cyber Tutubon!" The Chariot launched an attack.

"I don't like this." Asuka sweated. "Reverse Card, Open! Doble Passe! This switches your monster's attack to a Direct Attack!" The Chariots attack went around Cyber Tutubon and struck Asuka, making her scream in pain.

Asuka LP: 4000→2300

"Then, the monster that was targeted for an attack can wage a Direct Attack on the opposing player! Go! Cyber Tutubon!" Cyber Tutubon headed towards Saio and spun like a ballerina before striking Saio.

Saio LP: 4000→2200

"How's that?!" Asuka smirked at her play.

"I know how your heart works." Saio smiled.

"What?" Asuka asked.

"You a very caring and protective person. Whether it is Yuya or any of the other Guardians, if they are in trouble, you would do everything you can to end Duels quickly in order to go help them." Saio analyzed. "And by crushing any opponent to save your friends, you enjoy the enemies suffering."

"Th-That's…" Asuka stuttered.

"You enjoy the suffering of your enemies. When you defeated Satou, you smiled when he never resurfaced. When you killed the Doctor in cold blood, you enjoyed it. You're very nature is destruction itself." Saio smiled.

"I did what I had to do to end the war. If those people stayed alive, they would harm more innocent people. It was better that they died so that they would never hurt anyone ever again." Asuka said. "Even if it makes me a devil, I will do anything to protect my friends!"

"A desire that is shared among the other Guardians, which will lead to the fall of the Hero." Saio smiled. "When I'm damaged from a Direct Attack, I can Special Summon this monster. "Appear! Arcana Force Extra – The Dragon (ATK: 2500, LV: 7)!" Saio summoned a dragon to the field. The card then spun around before stopping right side up.

"Battle! The Dragon, attack Cyber Tutubon!" The Dragon unleashed its breath attack and it destroyed Cyber Tutubon instantly and damaged Asuka.

Asuka LP: 2300→1600

"The Dragon's Right Side Up Effect activates! When it destroys a monster in battle, that monster is banished along with one card in the opponent's hand! Now, show me your hand!" Saio ordered.

Asuka gritted her teeth before showing her hand. "I choose to banish your Cyber Angel Dakini!" Asuka's card disappeared from her hand.

"I set one card and end my turn!" Saio finished his turn.

Asuka LP: 1600, Hand: 2
Saio LP: 2200, Hand: 3

"My turn! Draw!" Asuka drew her card. The moment she drew her card, her black armor appeared on her body.

"The armor of the Supreme Queen." Saio witnessed the darkness threatening his light.

"From my hand, I activate the Ritual Magic: Machine Fallen Angel Ritual! I banished Cyber Angel Benten in my Graveyard!" Cyber Angel Benten appeared on the altar and turned into six blue flames.

"Angel that has fallen from heaven! Unleash the power of your lightning and show your form! Ritual Summon! Descend! Level 6 Cyber Fallen Angel Baraquiel (ATK: 2400, LV: 6)!" Asuka summoned her first Fallen Angel.

"Battle! I attack the Chariot with Baraquiel! Holy Lightning!" Baraquiel unleashed its lightning and it destroyed the Chariot.

Saio LP: 2200→1500

"I activate Baraquiel's Monster Effect! When it destroys a monster in battle, I can draw two cards!" Asuka drew two cards. "I end my turn!"

Asuka LP: 1600, Hand: 3
Saio LP: 1500, Hand: 3

"The power of the Gentle Darkness…definitely a worthy adversary of the light." Saio smiled. "Perhaps I should give you a reward. The full prophecy."

"Should I care about this prophecy?" Asuka questioned.

"You should…" Saio smiled. "Through countless battles and heartless acts, the war will end as a matter of fact. The hero trudges with his comrades by his side, returning to his loves who are his light. But then comes an army that wish to take his land, and that is where the Hero will have his Last Stand."

"The war…you mean the Dimensional War, and the hero with his comrades, returning to his loves. That's definitely Yuya." Asuka deciphered. "An army that wishes to take his land, Genesis Duel Monster army taking over our world. The Hero's Last Stand…"

"Yes…your friend Yuya is destined to—" Saio said.

"Worthless. Yuya will never fall! He's stronger than any monster or any army in the world!" Asuka declared. "You just wasted my time."

"Then I shall tell you the missing piece in the middle." Saio smiled. "His desire to protect his future, leads him to the army's ruler. His friend weak from poison, the hero walks the road on the horizon. A difficult choice between friends and family, lovers clash to create catastrophe. The Hero reaches his low, due to the Guardians destroying his flow."

"Destroying his flow?" Asuka questioned.

"I'll show you that right now. My turn! Draw!" Saio drew his card. "During the Standby Phase, my Arcana Force monsters will spin once more." The Dragon kept spinning until it reached right side up.

"But the dragon won't be around for a while, I activate the Magic Card: Light Fusion! This card allows me to fuse two monsters on my field or hand to Fusion Summon a Light Attribute Fusion Monster!" Saio revealed.

"At this moment, I activate Arcana Force Extra – The Dragon's other effect! When it's used as material for a Fusion Summon, I can make him the substitute for a Fusion Material! I treat the Dragon…as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Saio revealed.

"What?! Odd-Eyes?!" Asuka exclaimed. The Dragon turned into Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon.

"I fuse The Dragon treated as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon with Arcana Force Extra – The Dark Ruler!" The two monsters entered the spiraling vortex.

"Dragon with dichromatic eyes, become one that rules over the darkness and be bathed in the light that will cleanse the universe! Fusion Summon! Appear! Supreme King Light Dragon – Odd-Eyes Destruction Dragon (ATK: 3000, LV: 10)!" Saio summoned an Odd-Eyes monster that was bathed in the light of destruction.


Duel Monsters Spirit World – Ancient Forest

"Argh!" Yuya felt pain again, but it wasn't from the knife wound. It was the same pain he felt earlier on the beach and traveling through the forest. "What's going on? Why does this pain keep happening?"

"Yuya…I love you…more than anything…" Rin put on the Duel Disk given to her by Genesis. "But Yukio needs me and I'm not abandoning him! I will save him, no matter what!"

"Rin…" Yuya willed himself back to his feet. "Genesis might be forcing her to do this, but it's my fault too. I have to make it right." Yuya raised his Duel Disk and it activated.

"You've made your choice." Rin activated her Duel Disk.

"Duel!" Yuya and Rin declared.

Rin LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Yuya LP: 4000, Hand: 5

"My turn! I summon the Tuner Monster, Wind Witch Tech Bell (ATK: 0, LV: 1)!" Rin summoned a small bell made out of technology.

"Tech Bell's Monster Effect! I'm allowed to use it along with a monster in my hand as material for a Synchro Summon! I'm Tuning from my hand my Level 6 Wind Witch – Potion Master with my Level 1 Tech Bell!" Tech Bell turned into a single green ring while a witch with potions flew through it and became six stars.

"With your beautiful wings that change along with the season, strike down the enemies that pollute your territory! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 7! Wind Witch – Cyclone Dragon (ATK: 2500, LV: 7)!" Rin summoned her dragon.

"Potion Master's effect activates! When it's used as material for a Fusion Summon, my opponent's Life Points are cut in half!" The spirit of Potion Master appeared and brewed a potion that exploded on Yuya and he was blown back.

Yuya LP: 4000→2000

"I set one card and end my turn!" Rin finished her turn.

Rin LP: 4000, Hand: 2
Yuya LP: 4000, Hand: 5

"Rin is serious…" Yuya winced. "My turn! Draw!" Yuya drew his card. "I activate the Magic Card: Odd-Eyes Accel! This lets me Normal Summon an Odd-Eyes monster without releasing! Appear! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (ATK: 2500, LV: 7, PS: 4)!" Yuya brought out his ace.

"A-Argh…" Odd-Eyes felt pain.

Odd-Eyes (ATK: 2500→1000)

"Odd-Eyes, what's wrong?" Yuya was confused. "Why did Odd-Eyes Attack Points go down?"


Genesis's Hideout – Nursery

Genesis was gently stroking Yukio's hair as he was sleeping. "I think it's best you stayed asleep through all this." Genesis looked at the screen.

"1000 Attack Points, that means three of them have successfully summoned their Odd-Eyes monsters." Genesis said. "The monsters I gave to the others not only sap strength from Yuya but from Odd-Eyes as well. Now, Rin, you better end this Duel and bring me Atem."

"Yu…ya… My strength is…" Odd-Eyes winced.

"Odd-Eyes…I'm sorry." Yuya apologized. "I don't have any other card that can take down Cyclone Dragon." Yuya grabbed a card from his hand.

"I set one card and end my turn!" Yuya finished his turn.

Rin LP: 4000, Hand: 2
Yuya LP: 2000, Hand: 3

"My turn! Draw!" Rin drew her card. "Battle! Cyclone Dragon, attack Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Four Seasons Tornado!" Cyclone Dragon unleashed his tornadoes.

"Counter Trap! Attack Nullification! This negates your attack and ends the Battle Phase!" Yuya protected his monster.

"I activate my Continuous Trap: Spring Wings!" Cyclone Dragon's wings changed to that of fresh spring trees. "When this card is activated, it becomes an Equip Card for Cyclone Dragon! And during my End Phase, my opponent takes 100 points of damage times Cyclone Dragon's Level! I end my turn! You take 700 points of damage!" Cyclone Dragon flapped its wings and it struck Yuya.

Yuya LP: 2000→1300


United World – Center Court

Reiji finished hooking up the last cable to the dimensional transporter. "Finished." Reiji stood up. "The time has come to bring back our Guardian! Channel your energy to the gate!" Reiji activated his Duel Disk.

At the Center Court, every Duelist that the Dimension Guardians ever encountered all activated their Duel Disks and drew their cards.

"Begin! Pendulum Summon!" Reiji did a Pendulum Summon along with the other citizens of Maiami City.

"Fusion Summon!" Dennis led the Fusion users.

"Synchro Summon!" Jack led the Synchro users.

"Xyz Summon!" Shun led the Xyz users.

"Link Summon!" Go Onizuka led the Link users.

With multiple monsters, being summoned, their energy began to head towards the transporter which began to power up. "Keep it going!" Reiji yelled as more monsters appeared and the transporter began to show signs of opening.

"Sawatari fire!" Reiji shouted. Sawatari aimed a flare gun at the transporter and fired within it.


Duel Monsters Spirit World – Ancient Forest

Yuya fell to the ground after Rin attacked him once more. "Rin…" Yuya panted and looked at his wife. He could tell Rin didn't want to do this, but she had made the choice to put her son over her husband.

"Damn it…if I can just get out of her and find Genesis…" Yuya then gasped as he saw a red flare go up in the sky. "A red flare…Reiji!"

Rin saw the flare too and panicked. "No! If Yuya gets out, Yukio is dead!"

"Hurry up and start your turn!" Rin ordered.

Rin LP: 4000, Hand: 3
Yuya LP: 1300, Hand: 3

"My turn! Draw!" Yuya drew his card. "I reduce Odd-Eyes Level by three to Special Summon the Tuner Monster, Nobledragon Magician (ATK: 700, LV: 3)!" Yuya summoned his Tuner Monster.

"I'm Tuning my Level 4 Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon with my Level 3 Nobledragon Magician!" Nobledragon Magician turned into three green rings and Odd-Eyes flew through them to become four stars.

"Dragon with dichromatic eyes! Rise from the depths of the earth's core and incinerate your enemies! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 7! The dragon with eyes of magma! Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon (ATK: 2500, LV: 7)! Yuya summoned his first Synchro Monster.

Odd-Eyes didn't feel weaker this time around. "Good, now I can use this combo." Yuya grabbed a card from his hand.

"Next, I activate the Equip Magic: Pendulum Force! I select one Pendulum Monster in my Extra Deck and return it to my deck and this card increases the Equipped Monster's Attack Points by the returned Pendulum Monster's Attack Points! I return Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon to my deck and increase Meteorburst Dragon's Attack Points!"

Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon (ATK: 2500→5000)

"5000 Attack Points!" Rin's eyes widened.

"Battle! Meteorburst Dragon, attack Cyclone Dragon! Spiral Magma Burst!" Odd-Eyes unleashed its fiery hot attack. Cyclone Dragon tried to fight back but his wind was not enough and Cyclone Dragon was destroyed, creating enormous amounts of steam around the forest.

Rin LP: 4000→1500

Rin closed her eyes from the steam. "Yuya…I can't believe you chose your friend over your own child!" Rin was angry. "I will never forgive you for this!"

The steam started to clear but to Rin's surprise, Yuya was gone along with Atem. "No!" Rin panicked.

"Looks like someone took them away." Genesis appeared before Rin. "Just as you were winning too. But since you didn't do what I asked, the deal is off."

"No! Please! I'll get Atem, just give me another chance!" Rin begged.

"Hm…" Genesis looked at Rin's begging expression. "Alright, but this time, I'm sending all of you at once." Genesis summoned Yuzu, Serena and Ruri.

"Genesis, please…" Yuzu was in tears.
