Chapter 39: Devilish Double Duel
Duel Academy Hallway
"Let's Duel!" The cry echoed through the hall, the sound of duel disks activating also crying out.
Professor Y: 4000 LP
Alexis Rhodes: 4000 LP
Jesse Anderson: 4000 LP
Turn 1: Professor Y
"Hmph. I'll go first," Y declared, "And I activate Dark Fusion! This is my fusion spell, and as such, I can Fusion Summon a Fiend-type monster by sending material from my hand or field. I then discard Evil HERO Sinister Necrom and Evil HERO Infernal Gainer. Create a new evil emperor, my servants! I Fusion Summon! Evil HERO Malicious Bane! Then, using Sinister Necrom's effect, I can banish it to special summon any 'Evil HERO' from my hand or deck, so I call upon the HERO with clawed talons, Evil HERO Malicious Edge!" Two fiends appeared from Y's deck, both with smirks on their faces as they unsheathed sharp claws knife-like claws, the artificial light of the hallway reflecting off the bone-like protrusions on the Fusion Monster.
Evil HERO Malicious Bane: Level 8, 3000 ATK
Evil HERO Malicious Edge: Level 7, 2600 ATK
"Evil HERO? That's a bit pretentious, isn't it?" Alexis asked, but Y only let out a small huff in response,
"I set two cards to end my turn."
Turn 2: Alexis Rhodes
"Very well, then it is my turn! I draw! I activate the spell card Merciful Machine Angel. By doing this, I can draw two cards so long as I tribute a 'Cyber Angel' in my hand or on my field. Then, I must put a card from my hand on the bottom of my deck. I tribute Cyber Angel Benten and return Machine Angel Absolute Ritual to my deck. I now normal summon Cyber Petite Angel and activate its effect! This allows me to add any 'Cyber Angel' Ritual monster or a copy of 'Machine Angel Ritual' to my hand. I have chosen to add Cyber Angel Idaten. Then, I activate the Ritual Spell, Machine Angel Ritual! I must tribute monsters from my hand and field whose levels equal or exceed that of a 'Cyber Angel' Ritual monster in my hand to summon it. I tribute Cyber Petite Angel and Cyber Angel Idaten! Wonderous warrior born in the flames of war, behold my sacrifice! I Ritual Summon! Level 8, Cyber Angel Izana!" A warrior woman bearing both an axe and a trident against the fiends that Y controls, "Now, Izana's effect activates, and I chain Idaten! This gives all 'Cyber Angel' monsters one-thousand attack points. Then, Izana's effect forces you to send any spell or trap that you control to the graveyard!"
Cyber Angel Izana: Level 8, 2500 ATK - 3500 ATK
"I shall send my face-down Negate Attack." Y confirmed,
"Then, I shall set one card face-down and end my turn!"
Turn 3: Jesse Anderson
"I draw! I activate a spell card! This one is called Rainbow Bridge of the Heart!" Jesse announced,
"And I shall chain to it. I activate the trap card HERO's Bane. This allows me to banish one card, and no player can use cards that are part of that archetype until the end of the next turn. I had the Professor make this card special for me after I got a suspicion that you two would show up again. He also happily made this for me: Rainbow Dark Dragon!"
"WHAT?!" Alexis and Jesse both shouted,
"This is the card I banish, and like your Rainbow Dragon, Rainbow Dark Dragon is always treated as an 'Ultimate Crystal' card, so good luck making any plays this turn!" Y laughed,
"Rgh. In that case, I summon Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle and activate Rainbow Bridge's effect! This destroys Ruby to add Crystal Rule. Ruby then activates himself as a continuous spell, which activates Rainbow Bridge's other effect! I can now return it and your Malicious Bane to the hand!" Y's eyes narrowed as his monster returned to the extra deck.
"I set two cards and end my turn."
Turn 4: Professor Y
"That was certainly an interesting play. Too bad though. I activate Pot of Greed. You should know what this does. I now activate a field spell, Professor Y's Classroom! This is another gift to me by the Professor. It allows me to summon any monster that normally could only be summoned by 'Dark Fusion' with any card. Thus, I play Miracle Fusion! I banish Malicious Edge and Infernal Gainer! Return at once, Evil HERO Malicious Bane! This then triggers my Classroom's effect. Utilising it, I can return all monsters on the field to their original attack points, then any player who had a monster's attack points changed takes damage equal to that difference!"
"No!" Alexis yelled as Izana weakened and she was hit with dark purple electricity,
Cyber Angel Izana: 3500 ATK - 2500 ATK
Alexis Rhodes: 4000 LP - 3000 LP
"Next, I play Malicious Bane's special ability! This forcibly destroys all monsters that have equal or lesser attack points, then he gains 300 attack points for each!"
"I banish Machine Angel Ritual to protect Izana! Therefore, Bane gains no attack."
"Then let's battle, shall we? Malicious Bane! Attack Cyber Angel Izana! Now, I activate my Classroom's effect. When an 'Evil HERO' monster battles a special summoned monster, it gains attack points equal to twice the difference in our life points! Banite Destruction!" Malicious Bane smirked before charging off at Izana, his claws flashing as Izana caught them on her weapons, but the weapons broke easily, and Alexis screamed in pain as the claws hit her. A small trail of blood now on her cheek.
Alexis Rhodes: 3000 LP - 500 LP
"Oh, of only I had five hundred more. Then I could have put you down once and for all! Classroom's final effect. When an 'Evil HERO' destroys an opponent's monster by battle, I can add one 'HERO' card to my hand. I add Evil HERO Adusted Gold, discarding him by his effect to add Dark Fusion to my hand. I end my turn."
Turn 5: Alexis Rhodes
"I draw! I activate Machine Angel Absolute Ritual! This ritual spell allows me to shuffle monsters from my graveyard, but the levels must match exactly! I shuffle back Cyber Petite Angle and tribute Izana! Merciful Angel, descend from the skies above to defeat our foolish foes! I Ritual Summon! Level 10, Cyber Angel Vrash!" Standing in a meditative pose, Alexis' ace descended, her four arms in various positions.
Cyber Angel Vrash: Level 10, 3000 ATK
"Now, Vrash's ability activates! I can now destroy all Fusion monsters you control! Then, Vrash will gain 1000 attack points for each! Tranquil Disappearance!" When Malicious Bane was encased in the light let off by Vrash and wasn't destroyed, Alexis became confused as Y laughed,
"Malicious Bane cannot be destroyed. Neither by battle nor card effect!"
"Then I end my turn."
Turn 6: Jesse Anderson
"You really put a dampener on my strategy last turn, but remember that your Bane isn't immune to card effects! I got rid of it last turn and I'll do it again! I activate Rainbow Bridge again! Then, I activate Crystal Rule! This summons Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus so long as I can put Amber Mammoth and Emerald Tortoise in my Spell and Trap Zones as Continuous Spells. Then, I play Rainbow Bridge's effect! This destroys Sapphire Pegasus and adds Crystal Ultimate to my hand! Then, I return it to my hand and return Malicious Bane to the Extra Deck! Furthermore, I now activate Crystal Ultimate! This allows me to immediately put Amethyst Cat in my Spell and Trap Zone! Field spell, Ancient City – Rainbow Ruins, activates! Then, I utilise one of its effects! This effect draws one, then I activate another of its effects! This one summons Ruby from my Spell and Trap Zones! Ruby's effect then summons the rest of my Crystal Beasts! Sapphire Pegasus's effect then places Cobalt Eagle in my Spell and Trap Zone. Now I activate Foolish Burial to send Topaz Tiger! Now, since my monster zones are full, it would be a shame if I had a way to empty one, wouldn't it? Crystal Nightmare activates! This forces me to destroy one 'Crystal Beast' I control and I can't activate its effect. Now, I have a spare monster zone and seven Beasts. I can now summon the Rainbow Dragon from my hand! But that isn't all! I banish Rainbow Dragon and the seven Crystal Beasts! Divine protector of all that is sacred, I call upon thee! Restore peace and return my friend to me! Contact Fusion! I Summon Ultimate Crystal Rainbow Dragon Overdrive! Overdrive then gains seven thousand attack since all my Beasts are banished." As the Dragon appeared, majestically roaring, Jesse smirked.
Ultimate Crystal Rainbow Dragon Overdrive: Level 12, 4000 ATK - 11,000 ATK
"That dragon…" Y trailed, and Alexis could swear she saw a flicker in the yellow eyes of her opponent, a shade of brown shining through for a second,
"Attack and end this duel, Overdrive! Rainbow Decimation Blast!" As Jesse called his attack, Y recovered his senses,
"I send Classroom to the grave to prevent damage from one battle, but my life points become one!" He called out and his half of the field was overtaken by Jesse's ruins.
Professor Y: 4000 LP - 1 LP
"Damn. I end my turn. Do your worst."
Turn 7: Professor Y
"I will! I draw! Heh. This card spells your downfall! Dark Miracle Fusion! You may be wondering what it does, so I will enlighten you. It functions like Miracle Fusion, but if I control no monsters, I can banish materials from my Extra Deck as well! I banish Evil HEROs Malicious Bane, Malicious Fiend, Dark Gaia, Wild Cyclone, Lightning Golem, Inferno Wing and Infernal Sniper! Ultimate HERO of Evil I create you and unleash your great and terrible power! I Fusion Summon! Evil HERO Abyssal Neosbe born!" Emerging from the fusion portal was a monster clad in black, feathered wings spreading as a crown of bat wings circled it. Shining red eyes bore down on Jesse and Alexis, but they didn't give a step.
Evil HERO Abyssal Neos: Level 12, 5000 ATK
"Abyssal Neos' effect activates. Now, it gains twice as many attack points as life points have been lost this duel. That is twice 3999 from me, and twice 3500 from Alexis. This totals to just short of 15000 additional attack points!" Y laughed,
"We still have a chance!" Alexis shouted,
"A chance for what?" Y asked, a sneer taking over his face,
Evil HERO Abyssal Neos: 5000 ATK - 19,998 ATK
"Now, attack Vrash and eliminate Alexis from this duel!" Y decreed, but Alexis tapped a card on her duel disk,
"Waboku activates! My monster isn't destroyed and I take no damage!"
"Abyssal Neos activates its effect. When it fails to destroy a monster by battle, that monster is immediately banished face-down! And you take damage equal to half its attack points!"
"NO!" Alexis yelled as Y's monster let out a roar and Vrash disappeared, a dark wave heading towards her and quickly engulfing her.
Alexis Rhodes: 500 LP - 0 LP
Alexis Rhodes Eliminated
"Be quick now. I'd hate to prolong your defeat, Jesse!"
Turn 8: Jesse Anderson
"I've already won, Y. I activate Overdrive's special ability. I can tribute it to shuffle as many cards on the field into the deck as possible, then summon as many banished 'Crystal Beast' monsters as possible."
"Neos is unaffected by card effects."
"That doesn't matter if I summon Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat. Amethyst Cat can attack directly with halved attack points. End this duel with Amethyst Pounce!" Jesse called, the feline lashing out.
"Impossible!" Y yelled as his eyes reverted to their normal brown.
Professor Y: 1 LP - 0 LP
Jesse Anderson WINS!
The Professor's Throne Room
Stepping into the throne room, Declan was immediately impressed by the scale of the room. "It certainly is impressive what you have managed to do in a relatively short time."
"I thank you, Declan, but that isn't all." Leo pressed a button on the throne, and the back wall peeled away, revealing a vast reactor, card-like shapes flowing towards the centre, "This is my magnum opus. The ARC-V reactor. Powered by life energy it shall merge the four dimensions back into one. And with them, Ray." Leo had a fond smile as he thought of his upcoming reunion with his beloved daughter, "I only need those five girls and everything will be fine. We can proceed."
"Considering that all five serve as members of my Lancers, I'm afraid I cannot allow it." Declan responded,
"I know. That is why when I defeat you, my son, I will be taking them."
"I don't know why you are staking this on a duel with me. All of them are more than capable duelists on their own, so why not duel them instead?"
"And harm Ray? When Hell freezes over." Leo growled, "Now be prepared to be defeated, my boy." Leo activated the duel disk on his arm, Declan doing the same.
"Let's Duel!" They both declared.
Leo Akaba: 4000 LP
Declan Akaba: 4000 LP
Turn 1: Declan Akaba
"I shall go first, Father. I activate D/D Savant Kepler! This allows me to add Dark Contract with the Gate to my hand, which I now activate. Using its effect I can add D/D Gryphon to my hand, who I'm then allowed to summon. Now, I create a circuit of Kings! I set Kepler and Gryphon in the Link Arrows! I Link Summon! LINK-2, D/D/D Abyss King Gilgamesh. Then, by Gilgamesh's effect, I pay 1000 life points to set Savants Copernicus and Newton in my Pendulum Scales. Then, I activate the effect of D/D Swirl Slime in my hand. This allows me to fusion summon! I use D/D Swirl Slime and D/D Lamia! I Fusion Summon! D/D/D Flame King Genghis! Then, I Pendulum Summon! Arise D/D Proud Ogre! Genhis's effect then revives Lamia. Level 1 Lamia tunes with Level 6 Proud Ogre. I Synchro Summon, Level 7, D/D/D Gust King Alexander. Then, I normal summon D/D Berfomet, triggering Alexander's effect summoning Swirl Slime back. Berfomet then uses its effect to change Swirl Slime to level four. I now overlay level 4 Berfomet and Swirl Slime! I Xyz Summon! Rank 4, D/D/D Wave King Caesar!" Declan's army of Kings soon swarmed the field, Leo getting an impressed look in his eyes,
"Well done my boy. This must have been quite the challenge to create, I'd think." He praised,
"Easier than you think, Father. I end my turn."
Declan Akaba: 4000 LP - 3000 LP
D/D/D Abyss King Gilgamesh: LINK-2, 1800 ATK, Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right Arrows
D/D/D Flame King Genghis: Level 6, 2000 ATK
D/D/D Gust King Alexander: Level 7, 2500 ATK
D/D/D Wave King Caesar: Rank 4, 2400 ATK, 2 ORU
Turn 2: Leo Akaba
"It may have been easy for you, but don't let that get in the way of you having made such a great achievement. It is a shame that I will be using your energy to fuel my final ambition when this is over. I draw! I now set the Pendulum Scale with two Scale 1 Spirit Reactors."
"So you have Pendulum? Not unexpected, but an interesting challenge." Declan smiled,
"You'll see about that! I activate one of my Spirit Reactor's Pendulum Effect! This allows it to gain the Pendulum Scale of your Scale 10 Savant Newton. Now, I Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters! I Pendulum Summon Spirit Tech Force – Pendulum Governor and Sprit Gem – Salamander Core! I activate Pendulum Governor's effect! I now tribute Salamander Core and can use its effect twice this turn. I shall use it to destroy two monsters you control and deal you 800 damage for each. I destroy Wave King and Flame King!"
Spirit Tech Force – Pendulum Governor: Level 7, 2800 ATK
Declan Akaba: 3000 LP - 1400 LP
"Very well," Declan said as flames washed over him, "Wave King's effect then allows me to add a 'Dark Contract' so I add Forbidden Dark Contract with the Devil Lord to my hand."
"I now set one card and end my turn." Leo announced.
Turn 3: Declan Akaba
"I draw. Dark Contract with the Gate now exacts payment in the form of 1000 life points,"
Declan Akaba: 1400 LP - 400 LP
"Now, I activate Gate's effect adding a D/D/D Doom King Armageddon to my hand. Next, I use the Forbidden Dark Contract with the Devil Lord in my hand. I now destroy as many cards I control that I wish and add that many 'D/D' cards from my deck to my hand. I add six cards by destroying everything on my field: D/D/D Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link as well as two copies of Doom King Armageddon. Next, I activate a string of Quick-Play spells which I mentioned before! In order of chain links, D/D/D Xyz, D/D/D Link, D/D/D Fusion and D/D/D Synchro.
"D/D/D Synchro summons a Doom King Armageddon from my hand, and then treats itself as a level 2 tuner! Doom King of Bright Light, I call upon your Infinite Brilliance! I Synchro Summon! Level 10, D/D/D Super Doom King Bright Armageddon! Then, D/D/D Fusion summons that Doom King back again to Fusion Summon! Doom King of Purple Nightmares, I call upon your Destructive Armageddon! I Fusion Summon! D/D/D Super Doom King Purple Armageddon! Next, D/D/D Link. This card acts as three materials, summoning a Doom King Armageddon to be used as the fourth. I set D/D/D Link and D/D/D Doom King Armageddon in the Link Arrows! Doom King of Blue Code, I call upon your Notorious Charisma! I Link Summon! LINK-4, D/D/D Super Doom King Blue Armageddon! And finally, D/D/D Xyz. This summons two Doom King Armageddons and I can use them as the whole material for this next King. Doom King of Dark Rule, I call upon your Tyrannical Gaze. I Xyz Summon! Rank 8, D/D/D Super Doom King Dark Armageddon! Dark Armageddon's effect attaches the last Doom King Armageddon as material." Emerging from the four portals were four massive monsters, all of which all regally looked down on Leo and his monster.
D/D/D Super Doom King Bright Armageddon: Level 10, 3500 ATK
D/D/D Super Doom King Dark Armageddon: Rank 8, 3500 ATK, 2 ORU - 3 ORU
D/D/D Super Doom King Purple Armageddon: Level 10, 3500 ATK
D/D/D Super Doom King Blue Armageddon: LINK-4, 3500 ATK, All Bottom Arrows and Top Arrow
"You fool. Now I activate Emergency Spirit Fusion! I can now Fusion Summon using only Pendulum Governor! Ruler of the Pendulum be enhanced by my spirit itself! I Fusion Summon! Master Spirit Tech Force – Pendulum Ruler!" Leo then summoned his ace monster, gold glittering as it descended.
Master Spirit Tech Force – Pendulum Ruler: Level 12, 3500 ATK
"You think that will stop me, Father?"
"It can and will," Leo confidently declared, "You see, while I control Pendulum Ruler, monsters with an equal or lower level cannot attack, furthermore, only Pendulum Monsters may attack. All others have their effects negated."
"D/D/D Super Doom King Blue Armageddon uses its effect. While it is Linked to at least three 'D/D/D' Pendulum Monsters, I can negate the effects of all monsters on the field."
"Doesn't that also not help you? Besides, the monster summoned by Emergency Spirit Fusion is unaffected by card effects this turn."
"Well, Bright Armageddon prevents my monsters from having their effects negated. Then, I shall attack with D/D/D Super Doom King Dark Armageddon! Rule of the Stars!"
"Mutual, huh? When Master Spirit Tech Force – Pendulum Ruler is destroyed, I take no damage for the rest of the turn."
"And Purple Armageddon prevents my monster's destruction by battle. I shall end my turn then. Now, Forbidden Dark Contract with the Devil Lord's effect kicks in. Normally I would take 1000 damage for each card I destroyed by its effect, but Blue Armageddon prevents this."
Turn 4: Leo Akaba
"You've certainly made some masterful plays this duel, Declan. A shame that this card I drew changes everything! I activate Spirit Rescale! This allows me to change the Pendulum Scale of one of my Spirit Reactors to thirteen! Now, I Pendulum Summon Master Spirit Tech Force – Pendulum Ruler back!"
"It seems we may be at a standstill. Your 'game changer' card just makes it so that neither of us can progress until deck out, which I'll hit first."
"Oh, no. That wasn't my game changer! Direct Spirit, activate! So long as I also take the damage, I can attack directly this turn! Master Spirit Tech Force – Pendulum Ruler! Attack directly and end this duel! Pendulum Overrule!"
"I use the effect of Devil Lord in my graveyard. Once per duel, I can negate one instance of battle damage by banishing it and three other 'D/D/D' cards, in this case, D/D/D Fusion, Synchro and Xyz."
"Drat!" Leo cursed, "I end my turn."
Turn 5: Declan Akaba
"I draw. You see Father, there is a difference between us. It has to do with what we choose to play, and how. I activate Dark Contract with Exclusion Clauses. This allows me to banish one monster on the field face-down until the end of this turn, so long as I take damage equal to that monster's attack points."
"But Blue Armageddon will negate that damage." Leo said, knowing he was about to be defeated,
"Yes. Now, my Doom Kings! Attack directly and end this duel! Unity of Supreme Judgement!" A bright beam was unleashed from the four monsters, hitting Leo and sending him flying right up against the protective screen around the ARC-V reactor.
Leo Akaba: 4000 LP - 0 LP
Declan Akaba WINS!
Another Hallway
Yuya was running through the halls of Duel Academy, slightly lost. He'd been looking for the Throne Room, as that was the designated meeting point, when he rounded a corner to find Yugo, Yuto and Yuri there. "Hey guys!" He greeted,
"Ah, Yuya!" Yuto said, surprised,
"Do you guys know where we are?" Yuya asked,
"No, but strangely we all seem to have been drawn here." Yuri replied,
"You guys run into anyone important?" Yugo asked,
"No." Yuri and Yuto both answered,
"I ran into a man known as the Doktor," Yuya admitted, Yuri's eyes widening, "We dueled, and I think I killed him in a fit of rage." Tears started to well in his eyes,
"Yuya," Yuri put his hand on Yuya's shoulder, "Don't feel sorry for killing that sorry excuse for a person. To be honest, I was planning on tracking him down and finishing him off myself. If you don't mind me asking, what was he planning to do to make you react with rage?"
"He- He was going to use these Parasite monsters to take control of the girls." Yuya cried,
"WHAT?!" Yuto and Yugo roared,
"Ah. A good thing he is no longer of this world then." Yuri nodded.
"Ah, so this is where you lot are." A deep voice rang out, "My other four fragments in one place, just begging to become one again!" Ren emerged from around the corner, Cherry Blossom duel disk activated,
"Ren! Wait, no, Z-ARC." Yuya exclaimed before correcting himself,
"So you know who I am? Good. That makes things easier. Now, duel me, my fragments so we can become one again!"
"And what if we beat you?" Yuto asked,
"Well then, I'd be exorcised, wouldn't I?" Z-ARC smirked,
"Then we have no choice. What are your rules?" Yugo declared, activating his duel disk, the others following suit,
"You all will have individual life points but you'll share a field. I'll go first and have a turn after each of yours, but I cannot attack until all of you have had a turn and you all cannot attack on your first turns."
"That sounds fair." The four boys agreed,
"Let's Duel!/Let's Duel!" They all shouted, starting the Duel of Fate.
Next Chapter Preview: Yuya, Yuto, Yugo and Yuri have engaged with Ren who is currently possessed by Z-ARC! Will our heroes triumph, or will all be lost?

Hey all! Thank you all for reading this week's chapter and I hoped you all enjoyed! I had a lot of fun writing these duels, especially Declan vs Leo, where we saw the debut of the second Link-Pendulum of this fic in Super Doom King Blue Armageddon! Its appearance is rather similar to The Arrival Cyberse Ignister, much like how the other Super Doom Kings resemble the final villain's boss monster of previous series. I also based its effect of the others and filling the one niche they didn't already cover, taking effect damage, which is a pretty core part of Declan's deck.
Anyways, to the review!
Aqua – Yeah he really did, and like Yuri says this chapter, he really did deserve it. And Jaden vs Zarc, huh? Well, I guess you'll have to wait and see!
Next chapter is the start of a massive duel between the four Yu-boys and Ren/Z-ARC which will lead us to the climax of this fic, so I can't wait to see you all next time! - NightWingBOI
