Hey, guys. Here's Chapter 16 of the United World Arc. We are actually nearing the end everyone. What a journey it has been. I hope you all continue to read until the very end.
Now let's get to the chapter.
Chapter 16: Screw Destiny! The Angel That Defies Fate!
Yuya vs Genesis
Yuya LP: 3500, Hand: 3
Field: Supreme King Ice Dragon – Odd-Eyes Arctic Dragon (ATK: 3000, RNK: 7).
Genesis LP: 1500, Hand: 1
Field: Genesis Omega Dragon (ATK: 3000, LV: 10, PS: 0), Field Magic: Land Before Time.
"To think you would create more Supreme King Dragons…I can't believe that you're making me actually put in effort to defeat you." Genesis glared.
"That's a poor attempt at a bluff, Genesis." Yuya called out.
"Oh, I'm not bluffing. I'll prove it by getting just a little bit more serious." Genesis put her fingers on her deck.
"My turn! Draw!" Genesis drew her card. "During every turn, I gain more Attack Points!"
Genesis Omega Dragon (ATK: 3000→4000)
"I summon the Tuner Monster, Familiar of Crimson Devil (ATK: 500, LV: 2)!" Genesis summoned a being made out of fire.
"I activate Familiar of Crimson Devil's effect! If I have a Dragon-type monster on my field, I can banish this card and a Fire-Attribute Dragon monster in my deck in order to perform a Synchro Summon that uses this card as material!" Genesis revealed.
"Using a monster from your deck…" Yuya muttered.
"I'm Tuning from my deck the Level 8 Bronze Dragon with my Level 2 Familiar of Crimson Devil!" Familiar of Crimson Devil turned into 2 fiery rings as Bronze Dragon flew through them and became eight stars.
"Demon with power that overpowers all of the Earthbound Gods, rise up from your slumber and incinerate the world with your crimson glory! Synchro Summon! Appear! Crimson Devil Dragon (ATK: 4000, LV: 10)!" Genesis summoned a dragon that was releasing deadly crimson power.
"Crimson Devil…" Yuya's Signer Mark started to glow and the Crimson Dragon appeared. It roared at Crimson Devil who roared back.
"Don't worry my child, you will get your revenge on that wretched dragon." Genesis glared at the Crimson Dragon. "Land Before Time's effect increases my Attack Points by Crimson Devil Dragon's Attack Points!"
Genesis Omega Dragon (ATK: 4000→8000)
"Battle! Crimson Devil Dragon, attack Odd-Eyes Arctic Dragon! Hell Burning!" Crimson Devil Dragon unleashed intense flames that melted Arctic Dragon and burned Yuya.
Yuya LP: 3500→2500
"Take this! Direct Attack!" Genesis had her dragon unleash a direct attack on Yuya.
"From my hand, I activate Magician's Gardna's effect! When I'm attacked directly and I have no cards in my Pendulum Zone, I can automatically set this card as well as another Magician in my Pendulum Zone and negate your attack! Using the Scale 4 Magician's Gardna and the Scale 8 Dragonpit Magician, I set the Pendulum Scale!" Yuya avoided the attack.
"In that case, I activate the effect of Holy Elf Dragon from my hand! By revealing this card in my hand, I gain 1000 Life Points for every Dragon-type monster on my field! With two, I gain 2000 Life Points!"
Genesis LP: 1500→3500
"I end my turn!" Genesis finished her turn.
Asuka vs Saio
Asuka LP: 500, Hand: 3
Field: No cards
Saio LP: 1500, Hand: 3
Field: Supreme King Light Dragon – Odd-Eyes Destruction Dragon.
Asuka got back to her feet but her armor was severely cracked and her darkness was waning. "This damage…that Odd-Eyes has so much of the Light of Destruction's power and something else. I could feel it had something to do with Yuya."
"This was a power that was extracted from Yuya Ryuga and blessed with the powers of the Light. With this dragon, the Darkness will be destroyed and the Light shall rule all!" Saio declared. "That being said, I would be very disappointed if the Supreme Queen doesn't fight with all her strength. You better give me your best on your turn. I set one card and end my turn!"
Asuka LP: 500, Hand: 3
Saio LP: 1500, Hand: 2
"My turn! Draw!" Asuka drew her card and looked at her hand. "That Odd-Eyes is his key card. If I destroy it, I can win. But…if that dragon was created from Yuya, if I destroy it…I don't want to repeat that mistake again." Asuka closed her eyes in frustration as she recalled her decision to reveal the Dragon Soldier's location years ago.
"It seems you've got a grasp on my Odd-Eyes." Saio said. "I can sense your hesitation."
"If I destroy your Odd-Eyes, something is gonna happen to Yuya. I'm right, aren't I?" Asuka glared.
"That's right. By destroying this Odd-Eyes, Yuya will lose some of his power. Right now, my comrades have summoned their own Odd-Eyes monsters against your friends. Destroying all five of them will result in Yuya will not only destroy him, but it will also eradicate the Pendulum Summon completely!"
"Eradicate the Pendulum Summon?" Asuka's eyes widened.
"Pendulum is the very weapon that helps Genesis achieve her goals, but it is also a weapon that is dangerous if used against her. That's why she extracted the raw power of the Pendulum from Yuya and created these monsters. Raw power that is destroyed cannot be returned." Saio declared.
"In that case, I'll win without destroying Odd-Eyes!" Asuka declared. "I summon Cyber Tutu (ATK: 1000, LV: 3)!" Asuka summoned her dancing monster. "Cyber Tutu's Monster Effect allows her to attack the opposing player directly if all monsters on my opponent's field have more Attack Points than her! Cyber Tutu! Direct Attack!" Cyber Tutu charged in.
"Quick-Play Magic: Enemy Controller! This card allows me to choose one of two effects! I choose the first effect, one monster on the opponent's field is switched to Defense Position!" Cyber Tutu grunted as she was forced to change modes.
"No…" Asuka grumbled. "I set three cards and end my turn." Asuka finished her turn.
Asuka LP: 500, Hand: 0
Saio LP: 1500, Hand: 2
"My turn! Draw!" Saio drew his card. "I activate the Field Magic: Light Barrier!" A barrier surrounded Asuka and Saio and the card spun before it landed upright. "Since Light Barrier is upright, your monsters' effects are negated!"
"Damn." Asuka cursed.
"Next, I summon Arcana Force IV – The Emperor (ATK: 1400, LV: 4)!" Saio summoned another Fairy-type monster. "Due to Light Barrier's effect, I can choose which Arcana Force Effect to activate! I choose the Right Side Up Effect! All Arcana Force monsters gain 500 Attack Points!"
The Emperor (ATK: 1400→1900)
"Battle! The Emperor, attack Cyber Tutu!" The Emperor unleashed its attack instantly destroying the poor monster.
"Now! Odd-Eyes Destruction Dragon! Direct Attack! Eliminate the Darkness! Spiral Light Burst!" Odd-Eyes Destruction Dragon unleashed its effect.
"I activate my Trap Card: Fallen Angel Rescue! By banishing a Cyber Fallen Angel from my Graveyard, I can negate your monster's attack and then add a different Cyber Fallen Angel Ritual Monster from my deck to my hand!" Asuka added another Cyber Fallen Angel to her hand.
"It doesn't matter whether you summon it or not. Thanks to Light Barrier, your monster's can no longer use their effects. I set one card and end my turn!" Saio ended his turn.
Asuka LP: 500, Hand: 1
Saio LP: 1500, Hand: 0
"Don't underestimate my Cyber Fallen Angels. They were able to help me defeat scum like you! They were able to stop a madman like the Doctor from using his parasites even further and they risked their lives to save my friends and their darkness will overpower the light!" Asuka glared.
"My turn! Draw!" Asuka drew her card. "I activate the Magic Card: Pot of Greed! I draw two cards!" Asuka drew two more cards.
"I activate the Ritual Magic: Machine Angel Fallen Ritual! I release the Level 10 Cyber Angel Vishnu in my hand!" Cyber Angel Vishnu appeared on the altar before turning into ten flames.
"Angel that has fallen from heaven! Punish the sinners with our ultimate power that rivals that of both God and Devil! Ritual Summon! Descend! Level 10! Cyber Fallen Angel Samael (ATK: 3000, LV: 10)!" Asuka summoned her strongest Cyber Fallen Angel.
"Samael, that monster is indeed powerful, but with his effect sealed by my Light Barrier, he doesn't stand a chance!" Saio smiled.
"Is that so?" Asuka smirked.
"What?" Saio questioned.
"When I have Ritual Summoned a Cyber Fallen Angel, I can activate my Continuous Trap: Different Dimension Blessing!" Asuka played her set card. "This card allows my Samael to gain the Attack Points of one Cyber Fallen Angel monster that has been banished from the game!"
"Banished from the game…it can't be!" Saio's eyes widened.
"That's right, Samael gains Baraquiel's Attack Points!" Holy Lightning revolved around Samael as he gained power.
Samael (ATK: 3000→5400)
"Now I can win this Duel without destroying Odd-Eyes! It was a mistake for you to bring out an Arcana Force Monster! Battle! Samael, attack the Emperor! Sword of Holy Lightning!" Samael charged towards the Emperor.
"In that case, I activate the Quick-Play Magic: Ultra-Light Fusion! By destroying the Light Barrier, I can perform a Fusion Summon that uses an Arcana Force monster as material!" The Light Barrier changed into a bright white spiraling vortex.
"No…" Asuka was shocked.
"I fuse the Emperor with Odd-Eyes Destruction Dragon!" The two monsters went into the spiraling vortex.
"Dragon with dichromatic eyes, envelop all of the light that we have to offer and destroy the darkness once and for all! Fusion Summon! Appear! Level 10! Supreme King Luster Dragon – Odd-Eyes Razing Dragon (ATK: 4000, LV: 10, PS: 0)!" Saio summoned a more powerful Odd-Eyes with the Light of Destruction's power.
"That dragon…it's more dangerous than ever. But I can't destroy it, I don't want to hurt Yuya." Asuka thought. "I stop my attack—" Asuka was gonna stop the attack.
"You can't! All monsters on my opponent's field must attack Odd-Eyes Razing Dragon!" Saio shouted. Samael continued his attack and struck Odd-Eyes Razing Dragon.
"Odd-Eyes Razing Dragon's Monster Effect! When it attacks or is attacked, all battle damage is reduced to 0 and this monster is not destroyed!" Samael backed off. "Then, after the Battle Phase, the monster that it waged battle with is destroyed and the opponent takes 800 points of damage! Razing Light!" Odd-Eyes Razing Dragon unleashed a blast that destroyed Samael.
"When the monster targeted with Different Dimension Blessing is destroyed, all battle and effect damage this turn is reduced in half!" Asuka shielded herself before the force was too much for her and she was blown off her feet.
Asuka LP: 500→100
Asuka crashed on the ground, her armor was now in pieces and her darkness was almost nonexistent anymore.
"No matter how much you try, the darkness can never defeat the light. Just like our destiny was to fight each other, it's my destiny to defeat you in this Duel. And it's also the destiny of the Guardians to lose." Saio said.
"This pain…I can feel it." Asuka saw as Odd-Eyes Razing Dragon attacked her all the struggles that he went through during the war in the Fusion Dimension. Getting trapped in a Virtual Reality world, facing against Cobra, a man from his past, the terror from the Mythic Demons. "Yuya struggled the most out of all of us in the war. He was burdened with so much responsibility. I'm sorry, Yuya. I've been a terrible big sister. I couldn't ease your burdening." Asuka felt her will to fight leaving her.
"Looks like you have chosen to accept your destiny of fate. Let the light destroy you!" Saio had the Light of Destruction go towards Asuka and it began to bound her and squeeze her tight.
"Yuya…everyone…I…" Asuka closed her eyes.
"Gua…dia…Hey…Any…one…Guardians!" A screen appeared between Asuka and Saio revealing Sawatari. "Guardians, anyone there!"
"Sawatari…" Asuka looked at the screen.
"I hope this is getting out to you all. It's very bad here." Sawatari said and two more screens appeared.
"Hurry up! We're losing her!" Yuto shouted as he was administrating first aid to Rio.
"Damn it, kid! You're not dying on me!" Yugo yelled in frustration as he tried to help Rua.
Yuya vs Genesis
The same screens appeared before Yuya and Genesis. "Rio! Rua!" Yuya shouted.
"They used everything they had, just as I had expected it. Roget and Don Thousand didn't win, but they have forced those two to use all of their power, now they're just ordinary dying humans." Genesis smiled.
Jonouchi vs Diva
"Damn it, I can't believe those two idiots lost to those brats." Diva cursed. "Well, from the looks of things, those two will be going to hell soon enough."
"You bastard…" Jonouchi glared at Diva.
Blue Maiden vs Lightning
"This is why humans are inferior. Even if they win, if they end up losing their lives in the process, it is a worthless victory. I say good riddance." Lightning said.
"Lightning—" Aqua was angry at Lightning and wanted to yell at him.
"Shut up!" Blue Maiden yelled as she was crying. "They're not gonna die! The only one who will die is you!"
Ai vs Yuzu, Ruri, Rin and Serena
Reiji appeared on another screen. "We're doing everything we can to make sure they stay alive. But right now, it could go either way with those two. You all need to finish your Duels fast. Maybe with all of you here, we can give them a fighting chance. If not…then at least be here to say goodbye." The screens then disappeared.
"Looks like your friends aren't doing too well. I won't blame you if you want to surrender and go to them." Ai said.
"Not without our children!" Serena said.
"Seriously, you still want to fight? You know you can't beat me." Ai pointed out.
Yuzu, Ruri, Rin, Serena LP: 1600, (Yuzu Hand: 0, Ruri Hand: 0, Rin Hand: 0, Serena Hand: 0)
Field: No cards.
Ai LP: 1600, Hand: 0
Field: Dark Knight Ignister (ATK: 2300, LNK: 3), Fire Phoenix Ignister (ATK: 2300, LNK: 3), Wind Pegasus Ignister (ATK: 2300, LV: 7), Light Dragon Ignister (ATK: 2300, RNK: 4), Field Magic: Ignister AiLand, Continuous Magic: Council of Ignister.
"Shut up! My turn! Draw!" Serena started her turn. "I activate the Magic Card: Greater Fusion! I can use this card to fuse three or more monsters in my hand! From my hand, I fuse Moonlight Blue Cat, Moonlight Purple Butterfly and Moonlight White Rabbit!" The three monsters entered the spiraling vortex.
"Blue cat that prowls through the darkness! Butterfly with violet poison! The lively white rabbit illuminated by moonlight! Spiral into the moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! Appear! Moonlight Sabre Dancer (ATK: 3000, LV: 9)!" Serena summoned a majestic beast-warrior with two swords.
"Next, from my hand, I activate the Magic Card: Moonlight Fusion! Since you control a monster from the Extra Deck, I can use a Moonlight monster from my Extra Deck as material, I fuse Moonlight Dancer Dragon from my Extra Deck with the Moonlight Yellow Marten in my hand!" The spiraling vortex returned and Serena's dragon and beast warrior entered it.
"Dragon that dances in the moonlight! Marten with a radiant yellow! Spiral into the moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! Appear! Level 10! Dragon that is majestic under the pale moonlight! Moonlight Salsa Dragon (ATK: 3300, LV: 10)!" Serena summoned an evolved version of her dragon.
"Oh, Salsa!" Ai did a Salsa dance. "Now where are the chips for me to dip?"
"Shut up!" Serena was getting really frustrated with Ai. "I'm ending this Duel right now! Moonlight Sabre Dancer gains 200 Attack Points for every Beast-Warrior type monster in my Graveyard or banished. Also, my opponent cannot target this card for effects!"
Moonlight Sabre Dancer (ATK: 3000→3800)
"Next, I activate Moonlight Salsa Dragon's effect! Once per turn, I can select one monster on the opponent's field and have their effects negated and their Attack Points reduced to 0! I'm choosing Wind Pegasus!" Serena pointed to Wind Pegasus. Salsa Dragon did a dance that mesmerized Wind Pegasus, making it weak.
Wind Pegasus (ATK: 2300→0)
"Dude, don't get mesmerized! You're a Pegasus, she's a Dragon, it'll never work out!" Ai complained.
"Battle! Moonlight Salsa Dragon, attack Wind Pegasus! Cumbia Force!" Moonlight Salsa Dragon did a cumbia before heading for Wind Pegasus.
"I activate the last effect of my Continuous Magic: Council of Ignister's!" Ai pointed to his card. 'By sending this card to my Graveyard, all Ignister monsters on my field that were Special Summoned from the Extra Deck cannot be destroyed in battle and battle damage is reduced to 0!" Wind Pegasus was protected by his other brethren as they pushed Salsa Dragon off.
"To think you had that kind of effect." Serena got frustrated. "But I have the stronger monsters. Next turn, Yuzu can use them to finish this bastard off."
"I end my turn!" Serena finished.
Yuzu, Ruri, Rin, Serena LP: 1600, (Yuzu Hand: 0, Ruri: Hand: 0, Rin Hand: 0, Serena Hand: 0)
Ai LP: 1600, Hand: 0
"My turn! Draw!" Ai drew his card. "That was very impressive, that Double Fusion. If you and Yuya had a child, I bet that child will be just as strong or stronger than you one day."
"Leave Yusaku out of this." Serena glared.
"Yusaku…that's an interesting name. Maybe one day I'll meet him and we can be the bestest of friends. Though, I hope he does have Yuya's personality. I mean if he has yours, oh boy, that would be awkward." Ai pointed out.
"I have a good personality." Serena blushed.
"I can feel it. Your love is definitely the strongest out the group. In that case, I'll show my love." Ai said. "I activate the Magic Card: Ignister Treasure! This card lets me draw one card for every Ignister monster on my field! With four, I draw four cards!" Ai drew four more cards.
"I activate the Magic Card: Aqua-Earth Bond! This card let me Special Summon a Watter-Attribute and Earth-Attribute Ignister monster from my deck! Appear! Hiyari Ignister (ATK: 300, LV: 1)! Doshin Ignister (ATK: 100, LV: 1)!" Ai summoned two more monsters.
"Then, from my hand, I activate the Magic Card: Ai Bond! Ritual-Fusion! This card allows me to perform a Fusion and Ritual Summon using Ignister monsters on my field!" Ai revealed.
"A Fusion and Ritual Monster at once!" Serena's eyes widened.
"It's like Sergey's Synchro-Fusion." Rin recalled.
"But here's the special part. If the Fusion and Ritual Monster that I'm summoning is the same Attribute as the monsters that were used as material, I can ignore the other summoning conditions!" Ai revealed.
"What?!" The girls gasped.
"First, I will use Fusion! Since I'm Fusion Summoning and Earth-Attribute monster, I can use Doshin as the sole material!" Doshin split into two and entered the spiraling vortex.
"The earth sings! Bless the destruction giant's birth! Fusion Summon! Earth Golem Ignister (ATK: 2300, LV: 7)!" Ai summoned his Fusion Monster.
"Then, I use Hiyari as the sole release!" Hiyari split itself into seven flames. "Appear! The water god dragon that hides in the ocean! Ritual Summon! Water Leviathan Ignister (ATK: 2300, LV: 7)!" Ai summoned his Ritual Monster.
"Battle! Water Leviathan, attack Moonlight Sabre Dancer!" Ai shouted.
"What?! But Sabre Dancer is stronger!" Serena pointed out.
"When Water Leviathan battles, that opposing monster's Attack Points are reduced in half!" Ai revealed.
Moonlight Sabre Dancer (ATK: 3800→1900)
"Water Leviathan unleashed its sharp stream of water and destroyed Sabre Dancer, damaging Serena.
Serena LP: 1600→1200
"Next, Earth Golem, attack Moonlight Salsa Dragon!" Ai ordered.
"Does it have an effect against Fusion Monsters?! I won't let him!" Serena got determined. "I activate Salsa Dancer's effect! Once per turn, by banishing another Fusion Monster in my Graveyard, Salsa Dancer cannot be destroyed by card effects! Furthermore, the opponent takes damage equal to the banished monster's Attack Points! You'll take 3000 points of damage!" Serena pointed to Ai.
"Like I said, so predictable." Ai smiled, surprising Serena. "When I'm about to be hit with effect damage, I can activate the Quick-Play Magic: Aibou! This cuts the effect damage in half!" Ai grunted as he skids backwards.
Ai LP: 1600→100
"Then, the other half of the damage is added to one of my Ignister monsters on my field! I add that damage to Earth Golem!"
Earth Golem (ATK: 2300→3800)
"Destroy that dragon, Earth Golem!" Earth Golem punched Salsa Dragon hard, destroying it and damaging Serena more.
Serena LP: 1200→700
"I set one card and end my turn!" Ai finished his turn. "Now, this is your last chance. After that, I will end this Duel."
"He did it again…damn it!" Serena punched the ground hard. "He countered all of our moves so easily."
"We have no cards left in our hand." Rin fell to her knees.
"We lost…" Ruri lowered her head.
"What are you doing?! We still have a chance!" Yuzu shouted. "We just need to deal enough damage to win! We can do this! Together!"
"Yuzu…" The girls looked at their Pendulum Counterpart.
Yuzu put her fingers on her deck. "I will not give up. Not until our children are back in our arms."
Asuka vs Saio
Asuka LP: 100, Hand: 0
Saio 1500, Hand: 0
"Just as destiny said, the fall of the Guardians is inevitable. You can try all you want to keep them alive, but its their fate to die. Just like it is yours." Saio had the light tighten its grip on Asuka.
"Screw it…" Asuka muttered.
"Huh?" Saio questioned.
"Screw Destiny!" Asuka yelled and she unleashed a powerful dark wave that made the light vanish.
"What?! This darkness." Saio shielded himself.
The darkness around Asuka intensified that it was actually making Odd-Eyes Razing Dragon hover away in fear. "Rio and Rua won't die…I won't let them die! I won't let any of my friends die! Now hurry up and start your turn, Saio!" Asuka growled.
"She still thinks she can win? No, it's my destiny to win!" Saio thought. "My turn! Draw!" Saio drew his card. "Battle! Odd-Eyes Razing Dragon! Direct Attack! Hell Light Burst!' Odd-Eyes Razing Dragon unleashed his attack.
"Counter Trap: Fallen Angel Ring!" A ring appeared on Asuka's finger. "When I'm attacked directly, this card negates your monster's attack, then I Special Summon a Cyber Fallen Angel that was banished! Return! Baraquiel (ATK: 2400, LV: 6)! Asuka brought back her Cyber Angel Monster.
"Damn you! I end my turn!" Saio finished his turn.
Asuka LP: 100, Hand: 0
Saio LP: 1500, Hand: 1
"My turn! Draw!" Asuka drew her card. "I summon Cyber Angel Dragon (ATK: 1800, LV: 4)!" Asuka summoned a Cybernetic Dragon. "When this card is summoned, I can add the Ritual Magic: Final Ritual! Then, I activate it!" Asuka activated the card. The card had Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Cyber Fallen Angel Baraquiel on it with Asuka embracing Yuya.
"With this card, I'm allowed to Ritual Summon a Dragon-type Ritual Monster!" Asuka revealed.
"But you don't have anymore cards left in your hand!" Saio pointed out.
"If I'm using a Cyber Fallen Angel monster as material, I can Ritual Summon from my deck!" Asuka revealed.
"What?!" Saio gasped.
"I release Baraquiel and Cyber Angel Dragon! And when used as a Ritual Materia, Cyber Angel Dragon is able to take the name of any Dragon-type monster I choose! I choose Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Asuka shouted.
Both of Asuka's monsters went to the altar and turned into ten blue flames.
"Dragon with dichromatic eyes, defy the wheel of destiny and forge your own path to the future! Ritual Summon! Descend! Level 10! Dragon with the dichromatic eyes that makes his own fate with his bravery! Supreme King Courage Dragon – Odd-Eyes Noble Angel Dragon (ATK: 4000, LV: 10, PS: 7)!" Asuka summoned a Ritual-Pendulum Monster.
"A new Supreme King Dragon. But this wasn't what was destined!" Saio stepped back.
"Screw you and your destiny! I activate Odd-Eyes Noble Angel Dragon's effect! Once per turn, I can target one monster on the opponent's field and return it to the owner's hand!" Asuka revealed.
"What?!" Odd-Eyes Razing Dragon retreated to Saio's Extra Deck.
"Now this Duel is over and Yuya is safe. Battle! Odd-Eyes Noble Angel Dragon! Direct Attack! Spiral Courageous Burst!" Odd-Eyes Noble Angel Dragon unleashed a powerful attack towards Saio.
"I may have lost this Duel, but Genesis will win the war! From my hand, I activate the effect of Arcana Force Extra – The Barrier! By sending this card from my hand to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon a monster from my Extra Deck with its effects negated and its Attack Points reduced to 0, and my opponent must attack that monster!" Saio shouted.
"What?!" Asuka gasped.
"Return! Odd-Eyes Razing Dragon!" Odd-Eyes Razing Dragon appeared and took the attack for Saio and Saio screamed in pain.
Saio LP: 1500→0
Winner: Asuka Tenjoin
United World – Academia
Asuka and Saio returned to Academia, where Saio was passed out. Asuka fell to her knees from exhaustion. "I won…but he forced me to destroy Odd-Eyes." Asuka thought.
Asuka then grunted herself back to her feet. "But I can't rest here. I have to go see Rua and Rio. Then when they're okay, I'll go help Yuya against Genesis."
Asuka turned and walked away from Saio. But unknown to her, the Light of Destruction emerged from Saio's body and launched itself towards Asuka.
Asuka sensed something coming and turned, only for the Light of Destruction to pierce her right through her chest. "Gah!" Asuka coughed out blood.
"Curse…you…" The Light of Destruction disappeared, leaving a hole that pierced right through Asuka's body.
Asuka swayed a little before falling to the side and falling. "Everyone…" Asuka hit the ground. Asuka's consciousness was fading but she heard footsteps.
"Hey, I found her!"
"Oh my god, her chest!"
"Quick gawking, let's get her medical treatment!"
"Her pulse is fading, let's go!" Asuka saw Yuri hovering over her. "Come on, Asuka. You're not dying on us."
"Yuya…I wish I could've helped you in person…but…this is the best…I can do…" Asuka willed her darkness to leave her body and head to Yuya. As it left her, Asuka closed her eyes.
Yuya vs Genesis
"Rio…" Yuya muttered as he recalled Rio giving him her Chaos.
"Rua…" Yuya's Signer Mark was burning and he felt sadness from the Crismon Dragon, confirming that there was no more Sixth Signer.
"It looks like another of your friends has joined them in death." Genesis said. "The Light of Destruction couldn't defeat her in a Duel, but did manage to land a critical blow before fading. Asuka Tenjoin is now at Death's Door."
"Shut up…" Yuya growled as the darkness made its way to him. "Shut up!" Yuya roared and the mark of the Crimson Dragon appeared on his back.
"His Life Points still won't decrease?" Genesis was getting frustrated.
Yuya LP: 2500, Hand: 1
Genesis LP: 3500, Hand: 1
"My turn! Draw!" Yuya drew his card. "I activate Guardian Bond – Odd-Eyes/Power Tool! This card Special Summons Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Power Tool Revolution Dragon!" Yuya summoned his and Rua's monster.
"Then, I treat Odd-Eyes as a Level 1 Tuner Monster! I'm Tuning my Level 7 Power Tool Revolution Dragon with my Level 1 Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Odd-Eyes turned into a single green ring and Power Tool flew through them.
"Dragon with dichromatic eyes, gain the light of hope and courage and resolve all of the conflicts in the world! Synchro Summon! Appear! Level 8! Dragon with dichromatic eyes to quells all conflicts! Odd-Eyes Resolution Dragon (ATK: 3000, LV: 8)!" Yuya summoned a new Synchro Monster.
"I activate Odd-Eyes Resolution Dragon's effect! Once per turn, I can have all monsters on my opponent's field have the same Attack Points as him! However, my Battle Phase is skipped this turn!"
Genesis Omega Dragon (ATK: 8000→3000)
Crimson Devil Dragon (ATK: 4000→3000)
"You're lowered their Attack Points again." Genesis got frustrated.
"I'm not done yet! From my hand, I Normal Summon the Tuner Monster, Call Magician (ATK: 800, LV: 3, PS: 3)!" Yuya summon a female magician with a cellphone. "I activate Call Magician's effect! When this monster is summoned, I can Special Summon another Magician Tuner Monster from my deck with its effects negated! Appear! Tuning Magician (ATK: 0, LV: 1)! Yuya summoned his other Tuner Magician.
"Rua, I won't let you die!" Yuya said. "I won't lose against this phony God!"
"You bastard!" Genesis growled.
"I'm Double Tuning my Level 8 Odd-Eyes Resolution Dragon with my Level 3 Call Magician and Tuning Magician!" Tuning Magician and Call Magician turned into four rings and encased Odd-Eyes Resolution Dragon.
"Dragon with dichromatic eyes, gain the gold light from nirvana and eliminate all despair! Synchro Summon! Appear! Level 12! Dragon with dichromatic eyes of nirvana! Supreme King Ecstasy Dragon – Odd-Eyes Nirvana High Dragon (ATK: 4000, LV: 12, PS: 13)!" Yuya summoned a new Odd-Eyes.
"Odd-Eyes Nirvana High Dragon's effect activates! Once per turn, I can destroy one monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck and deal 200 points of damage times that monster's Level!" Yuya shouted.
"Damn." Genesis cursed.
"Begone! Crimson Devil Dragon! Nirvana Force!" Odd-Eyes Nirvana Dragon unleashed its breath attack and destroyed Crimson Devil Dragon and damaged Genesis.
Genesis LP: 3500→2500
"My friends will return that's why I will win this Duel!" Yuya declared.
"Damn it. I thought their pending deaths would break him, but it's making him stronger." Genesis could see the spirits of Rio, Rua and Asuka cheering him on.
"That does it, I'm through playing with him, I'm going all out!" Genesis thought.
And that is the end of Chapter 16. We're getting closer and closer to the end, people. I would say there is about 4 chapters left.
Thanks for reading and I will see you all next time.
Preview: Genesis decides to get more serious against Yuya, Yuzu becomes determined to finish of Ai once and for all, and Jonouchi is reaching his limit against his Duel against Diva.
Next Time: The Very Last Gamble!
