Chapter 9: Death God vs Cold Blooded Hunter!
The guard swiped his keycard at an identification device, opening the massive gate in front of the five boys and leading them inside. After a quick scan of the area, Yuki noticed that they were in the middle of a tall, cylindrical chamber ringed with cells that rose far above the floor. Inside them, several inmates were glaring at the newcomers, others with weary looks and others with savage ones as they grinned. He had experienced atmospheres like this more than once before.
"So I'm assuming that getting my usual five star accommodations are out of the question." Said Sawatari
"Understatement of the year." Yuki commented
"Aside from a select few dangerous prisoners, almost everyone here is a Common arrested on false claims. Just another example of how messed-up our society is."
"Yeah I speak from experience when I say that those in power think they can get away with anything." Said Yuki
"They are easily 100 to 200 people held here on false charges." Said Crow
"False charges?" Yuya asked. "Isn't that the same as us?"
"That's right, but there are two types of people here." Shinji whispered. "Those with no life left in their eyes…and the ones whose eyes still have a little life in them."
Upon saying that, Yuki noticed Shinji nodding at one of the prisoners. "Does he have friends in here? That could be useful."
"From now on, this shared cell will be your home away from home!" The guard gleefully said as he deactivated the Real Solid Vision handcuffs. "Make sure to get along with your fellow trash roommates."
"Like hell this is our home!" Crow growled as the guard took his leave while laughing.
"Guess its just us for now." said Shinji "Oh yeah and them." he said looking at the other cellmates.
"Oh, it looks like we have some new cellmates." Said an inmate dressed in red. Next to him was an inmate in a green jumpsuit.
"Well?" The one in the red uniform spoke next. "Aren't you going to greet us?"
"I'm sorry but I'm not really big on introductions." Yuki said stepping in front of the others.
"Oh looks like we have a tough guy here." said the inmate in red
"Er, Yuki maybe starting a fight right away isn't the best strategy." Said Yuya
"Too late now they're annoyed." Said Sawatari
"What was that you punk you want me to kill you!" said the inmate in green grabbing Yuki by the collar.
"Kill? You've got to be joking. That looking in your eyes tells me everything." Yuki said mentally as his eyes became slit.
"You'll kill me? Please like you've got the guts to try, go ahead I dare you." Yuki said in a serious tone causing the inmates to let go of Yuki and backed away.
"Woah Yuki that was bone chilling." said Crow
"Well it had to be, it was a bluff." Yuki whispered to the others as his eyes turned back to normal.
"Wow seriously you were faking!" said Sawatari who clearly thought Yuki was being serious
"Not so loud." Said Yuki but it was to late
"Oh so you think we're gullible do you." said one of the inmates
"Great now I have to beat them up." Yuki thought
"That's enough!" Said a familiar voice from behind the two inmates which to Yuya, Yuki, and Sawatari's surprise it was Gongenzaka.
"Gongenzaka!" Yuya clearly surprised. "How did you-"Yuya!" Gongenzaka exclaimed as he rushed to embrace his friend. "You're safe! To think I'd meet you here when I was convinced I'd never see you again, I, the man Gongenzaka…I…" At this point, Gongenzaka started bawling out like a fountain, causing uncomfortable expressions to appear on everyone's faces.
"And who's this overly affectionate guy?" Crow asked. "Another friend of yours, I assume?"
"Sheesh, you're overreacting as always, Gongenzaka. I told you we'd meet them here eventually." The one who had spoken was Dennis, much to Yuki's disappointment, who was lying on top of one of the cell's beds further in.
"Hello, Yuya, Little Blizzard." Dennis waved at them with a smile. "Miss me?"
"Dennis!" Yuya exclaimed. "You're here too!?"
"Little Blizzard?" asked Crow
"Don't ask me I don't know." Said Sawatari
"Oh that's just a nickname I thought up for Yuki. I thought it went well with that hair of his." Dennis explained before banged him on the head.
"Never again." Yuki snarled
"Whatever you say." Said Dennis with a look on his face that says otherwise.
"So how did you end up here?" Asked Yuya
"Well, I was dueling with Kurosaki in an Underground Duel Arena and got captured by Security along with him and Gongenzaka over there." Dennis explained
"Kurosaki?" Yuki asked. "So he's here as well then?"
"Yes, and he's doing fine for the most part." Dennis replied as he got up and approached the group. "Ten or more prisoners gave him a rough welcoming, Kurosaki gave them a nasty response and got placed in solitude after beating them all up."
"Why am I not surprised." Thought Yuki
"Okay and what made you so sure that you'd meet us here?" asked Sawatari
"Well with Little Blizzard being an angsty teenager with a short temper and a trained assassin it's not hard to imagine." Said Dennis
"Call me that again and I'll rip out your precious vocal cords." Yuki threatened
"I see what you mean." said Sawatari
"But then you'll get in trouble with Reiji and we all know you don't want that." said Dennis
"Damn this clown to hell!" Yuki mentally screamed
"Anyway what's this about an Underground Duel Arena?" Yuki asked
"Well, you see…"
Dennis explained in a few short sentences about how a supposed promoter named Gallager had approached him and Gongenzaka, offering them an invitation to an underground Duel tournament.
"This seems like a familiar scenario." Yuki thought
Dennis then went on to describe how they encountered Kurosaki there, with Dennis challenging him to a Turbo Duel for the right to enter the Friendship Cup.
"Wait a minute, the Friendship Cup?" Yuki asked
"It's the City's biggest duel tournament. Seemed like the perfect chance to find strong duelists." Dennis explained
"And you thought that going along with what a shady promoter that approached you out of nowhere, which was offering you a chance to enter the City's most prestigious tournament through an underground Duel of all things was a good idea!? None of that seemed suspicious to you at all." Yuki ranted
"Well, when you put it like that…" Dennis rubbed his neck uncomfortably as Gongenzaka spoke. "I, the man Gongenzaka, tried to warn him and Kurosaki about the potential risks. However, they both refused to listen to me, they just did what they wanted consequences be dammed. And because of that, here we are now."
"Hey, there is a silver lining here." Dennis said. "At least most of the Lancers are assembled once more now."
"So we wanted to get arrested?" Yuki said. "Honestly, when I joined the Lancers I was hoping to have some more competent teammates."
"Didn't you also fall for an underground duel promoter too Yuki?" asked Sawatari
"Yes, but the difference was that I was seven at the time." Yuki answered
"You know all these people, Boss Gon?" One of the inmates asked, prompting Gongenzaka to nod.
"Yeah." Gongenzaka confirmed it while putting his hand on Yuya's shoulder. "This is Yuya Sakaki, my best friend. The one with whitish blue hair and the nasty attitude is Yuki Kōriryu, not really a friend more like a trusted enemy. And the blond-haired guy is Shingo Sawatari, a mere acquaintance." After revealing shocked expressions, the two inmates began bowing while 'We are so sorry!' over and over again.
Yuki glared at Gongenzaka "Trusted enemy?"
"To be fair, you introduced yourself by shooting arrows at us, trying to kill Reiji, and to top it all off you almost put dagger in Yuya's brain." Said Gongenzaka
"Whatever." Yuki muttered
"By the way, Yuya." Gongenzaka addressed his friend. "Do you know what happened to Reiji Akaba and everybody else?"
"Reira is safe." Yuya replied. "Right now, he's probably with Reiji. As for Yuzu…"
"What!?" Gongenzaka's eyes widened. "You've seen Yuzu!?"
"No, not yet." Yuya said. "But it seems she's nearby. We have to hurry up and get out of here in order to search for her."
"Aren't you the boss around these parts?" Sawatari asked. "Can't you do something here?"
"No, I'm not the boss around here…"
"The boss of this place is in another cell." Dennis replied. "From what I've heard before, he's been running most of this place for over a decade!"
"Most of this place?" Yuki asked. "What do you mean by that, Dennis?"
"You see the guy whose been here for ten years controls about ninety percent of this place. But the remaining ten percent belongs to someone who was imprisoned for launching an attack on Security HQ, by himself no less. He's only been here for about three years, but in that time he was able to establish control over the area where the Facility's most dangerous are held." Dennis explained
"To do something like that one would have to be incredibly brave, incredibly stupid, or both." Yuki remarked
"Nah it couldn't be, could it?" Crow thought
"Something the matter Crow?" asked Shinji
"Nah it's nothing."At that moment, a loud siren was heard as prison guards arrived to open the cells.
"Oh, it looks like lunch time has come." Dennis remarked. "We'll continue this conversation later." Following behind Dennis and Gongenzaka, Yuki, Yuya and the rest headed towards the Facility's cafeteria. While waiting in line, Yuki noticed that several prisoners got bigger portions, while others got significantly smaller ones. Suspicious about the portions Yuki closely observed the exchanges at the counter, noting that prisoners who handed cards to the cooks where the ones who got the biggest portions.
"Our Decks are as valuable as our lives. Now I get it."
"Huh!?" Yuya cried out upon seeing the extremely small portion he was given. "That's all there is?"
"We have to make sure there's enough for everybody." The cook said in a very unconvincing manner, prompting both Yuya to complain and Sawatari to demand a larger portion by attempting to use his dad's name once more. Of course, both attempts ended up in failure. As for Yuki, he wordlessly accepted his small portion and moved along. Being given a small portion like this was better that those cold nights when he had to go without any food.
While scanning the area for an empty table alongside Crow and Shinji, Yuki noticed the mischievous looks and smiles some of the inmates had as they stared at them, if how Kurosaki's treatment was anything to go on they were in for a long day. He'd personally experienced something similar when he lived in the Hollow district and in his early days at Blood Vulture. As Yuki went to sit down he noticed Yuya trip and fall.
"Yuya!" Crow said in concern and an inmate spoke. "Oh man, what a waste! Better watch where you're walking!" The inmate said and another threw a bucket of water that hit Yuki, Sawatari, Crow and Shinji's trays, rendering the food soggy and inedible. Something Yuki was not in the mood for.
"Sorry about that, I just tripped over this guy." The inmate apologized, it was obviously on purpose. "Oh and this is water I squeezed out of the cloth used to clean out the bathrooms." "You bastards..." Sawatari said and Crow spoke. "You picking a fight with us?" Crow asked as Yuki put his tray down and had a rather angry look on his face. "Alright that's it I'm breaking his neck!"
"Oh yeah how about I just crush your skull." The inmate said walking up to Yuki. However, all it took was one blood thirsty look from Yuki to make him back off.
A guard spoke out. "Hey, you guys! If you fight, it's straight to solitary confinement!" Then Gongenzaka spoke. "You guys... don't cause any more trouble, we'll share our food with you." Gongenzaka whispered and Dennis whispered too, "Aside, from that, look!"
Yuki turned his attention to where they looked, seeing a man, have a short shaven head and wore what appeared to be a kimono grab of dark green but not the fancy stuff, just dull and ordinary, sitting at a table by himself with two lackeys on either side of him and the table had a cloth over it and some rather delicious looking food that was well, the steak alone was larger than portions everyone else had in the dining area combined, there was even wine and bread on the table.
"That guy makes the facility look like a hotel." Yuki commented
"He's the boss here." Dennis said as Yuya spoke "He's got some exquisite food there." as one of Gongenzaka's lackeys spoke. "The boss of the prisoners here is in an even higher position than the guards here!"
Just then Yuki felt a chill run down his spine. He turned an saw that no one was there. "That's weird it felt like someone was watching me. I haven't had that feeling since my first assassination job."
Later on in the day, Yuki, Yuya, Sawatari Crow and Shinji were in the showers with four other inmates as the same guard who brought them was before them. "All right, you lot are going to clean this place until it shines." Yuya was surprised. "Right now?!" Then Crow spoke. "Hold it! We've just finished washing the prisoner's dishes."
"Yeah get someone else to do it!" said Yuki
"Shut up and do it, cleaning the bathroom is the job of the newcomers for that week and just to warn you, there might be a few rats." The guard said.
"Umm excuse me..." one of the inmates approached the guard. "I came down with a cold this morning... " and the man shown a card and Yuya whispered in surprise "Card bribes?"
"And I'm suffering from muscle fatigue!/I'm currently suffering form malnutrition! /I'm feeling sleepy!" the other three inmates too did the same and given the guard a card each and he looked at them. "hmm, you guys are all free to go back to your cells." and the inmates thanked him, leaving through the door.
"You guys are going to do the rest." The guard said to the group and Yuya spoke. "Wha-" and Sawatari spoke. "Hey there's definitely something wrong about this!" and the guard looked over his shoulder. "And if you guys don't it right, you'll have to do it over, got it?"
"What's going on here?" Sawatari asked aloud as the door shut and when they returned to their cell, Yuki sat on a bed, sitting up with legs crossed, Dennis then spoke. "No one told you? In here cards are currency, you can bribe the guards with cards, do that and you get treated better."
"That's why they gave us our decks back." Yuya said, holding his deck, recalling what the guard said when they first came in. "If I had known that, I would of handed in some cards so I could eat." Sawatari said and Yuya looked to Sawatari. "Sawatari! Cards aren't money! You shouldn't use them just to bribe people!" Yuya scolded and looked to Dennis and Gongenzaka
"Don't tell me- Did you use cards for bribing people?!" and Gongnenzaka looked away. "Gongenzaka!" Yuya stood up, looking at his friend. "I never would of thought you'd used cards for something like this!" and one of Gongenzaka's lackeys spoke out. "That's not it!" Yuya looked to the two men.
"Boss Gon... for us... He didn't have a choice." and Gongenzaka spoke. "Don't say unnecessary things." and the red overalls man spoke. "Please, let me tell them! Before we came here, we lost a Duel, had our Decks stolen and came here without a single card, so we got treated horribly... and then Gon went over the guard and... if he hadn't done that, we probably would of been... Dennis also gave his cards too." they said and Dennis raised his hands.
"Well Gongenzaka was going off, making only himself look cool." Dennis reasoned and Yuki spoke. "So, in here, it's your cards or your life." Yuki said and Yuya added. "But I still think it's wrong to use cards for something like that!"
"Master you wouldn't trade me away would you?" Said Hate appearing in spirit form on the bed.
"Of course not Hati, don't worry." Yuki told him through their mental link.
"Yeah, I know." Gongenzaka agreed and they heard the cell door unlock and saw two guards. "You've been called on, get out of there." The blonde guard said and Yuya asked aloud. "Called?"
"Yeah Chojiro Tokumatsu has asked for your presence." The guard said before the group walked out. "Except for you long hair. You've been summoned by someone else." the other guard said
"Who?" Yuki asked
"You'll find out." said the guard as he led Yuki away from the others.
"I hope Yuki will be okay." Said Yuya
"If anything I'm more worried about the guy who summoned him." Said Shinji
Yuya's group were then brought to a room where there was a bonsai like canvas, a Japanese sign saying some phrase, tow sheathed swords and a couch and small table with a drink on it while the boss of the area sat upon a huge big block with a cloth draped over with his two lackeys nearby.
"So you're here?" One of the lackeys said and continued. "Our boss, Tokumatsu has called you out himself!" And Crow blinked. "Tokumatsu?" Then Sawatari spoke out annoyed. "And where does he get off calling us out personally!?" Sawatari asked in irritation.
"What was that?!" Tokumatsu's lackeys said Dennis then whispered. "Maybe you should just stop talking."
Tokumatsu spoke again. "Bring 'em out." and a lackey continued "Your cards!" "Cards!?" Yuya asked and a lackey continued. "If you want to enjoy your life, here, you better bring some over.!" Yuya spoke. "I refuse!"
"What was that?!" one of the lackeys asked as Tokumatsu opened an eye and Gogenzaka spoke out. "I refuse as well! If it's only just giving out cards to get on the good side of the boss... Then I, the man Gogenzaka, don't have a one card for that purpose!"
"We have to get out of here as soon as possible! We aren't planning ons settling down and enjoying ourselves here!" Yuya said defiantly and one of Gogenzaka's men looked concerned. "Boss!" and Gogenzaka spoke. "It's fine, just stay quiet."
"Listen up. I'm the boss here, which means I'm the top of this place. So that means I make the rules, you're all beneath me so you obey me! That's the common sense of this world!" Tokumatsu said and Yuya spoke out. "I won't! Cards are to be used for Duelling!" Yuya stated.
"Another brat who won't listen to reason... Then take a look at this!" Tokumatsu jumped off form his seat and the lackeys pulled the cloth off and Yuya spoke in surprise. "Those are cards!"
Tokumatsu landed and a strong wind came out of nowhere. "Do you know what these are?" Tokumatsu asked. "These are the cards of the people who've lost when they challenged me in Duels over the ten years I've ruled here!"
"Duelists who lost?!" Yuya said in surprise. "Here, cards are proof of who's on top! And Dueling is a sign of power!" Tokumatsu said and Yuya spoke. "A sign of power…! You're wrong! Duels are meant to be fun!"
"What?" Tokumatsu asked, his eyebrow twitched and a lackey spoke. "For fun he says!? Boss, this guy here says Dueling is for fun!" and he laughed until Tokumatsu shut him up. "Don't show me that disgusting cackling face of yours!" and the lackey apologized quickly. "S-Sorry!"
"If you had just given them to me, I would of let this slide, but... I've changed my mind. Guard!" Tokumatsu called out and the guard came to to the bars. "Yes, what do you need?" The guard asked politely before a card was literally flung at one of the bars, digging into it somehow.
"Bring me some Duel Disks, we're going to Duel now." Yuya was surprised as the guard spoke. "Th-this is a rare card... Yes I'll bring it right away!" The guard ran off.
"Here, it's said that cards determine your fate, fi you won't listen, you'll have to learn the hard way. You better prepare yourself! I'll knock sense into you through a Duel!"
"I wouldn't have it any other way! Let's do this!" Yuya said defiantly.
DUEL!
Yuya: (LP: 4000) (hand: 5) (field: 0)
Tokumatsu: (LP: 4000) (hand: 5) (field: 0)
Tokumatsu moved into a stance, legs spread and Shinji noticed something about it. "Hey! That stance is...!" Shinji whispered to Crow who responded back. "Yeah, i've seen him somewhere!"
"My turn, I activate the Spell Card, Flower Gathering from my hand! This card's effect allows me to Special Summon four Flower Cardian monsters with less than 100 ATK from my Deck in Attack Position!" four cards automatically slid of the deck and Tokumatsu grabbed them, placing them on the disk, four Hanafuda like monsters with silver boarding linked together.
"I Special Summon Flower Cardians: Pine, Zebra Grass, Willow and Paulonwnai!" as their stats were revealed
Flower Cardian Pine: (Level 1/DARK/WARRIOR/ATK 100/DEF 100)
Flower Cardian Zebra Grass: (Level 8/DARK/WARRIOR/ATK 100/DEF 100)
Flower Cardian Willow: (Level 11/DARK/WARRIOR/ATK 100/DEF 100)
Flower Cardian Paulonwnai: (Level 12/DARK/WARRIOR/ATK 100/DEF 100)
"He Summoned four monsters at once!" Sawatari said in surprise and Tokumatsu continued. "Furthermore I activate the Spell Card: Flower Stacking from my hand! This card allows me to choose three Flower Cardian Monsters form my deck and arrange them on top of my deck in any order I choose! "The cards I chose is Flower Cardian Zebra Grass with Moon, Paulownia with Phoenix and Willow with Calligrapher!"
"Next I activate Flower Cardian with Pine Special ability, I replace my first pine with Pine with Cranen." Flower Cardian Pine was replaced by different Cardian Pine monster.
Flower Cardian Pine with Crane: (Level 1/DARK/WARRIOR/ATK 2000/DEF 2000)
"But I'm not done cause when Pine with Crane is successfully summoned I can draw another card from my deck." Tokumatsu explained as he drew a card and looked at it. "I drew Zebra Grass with Moon so by tributing my first Zebra Grass I summon Zebra Grass with Moon."
Flower Cardian Zebra Grass with Moon: (Level 8/DARK/WARRIOR/ATK 2000/DEF 2000)
"Just as before I can draw another card from my deck and that card is Paulownia with Phoenix and now I'll summon!"
Flower Cardian Paulownia with Phoenix: (Level 12/DARK/WARRIOR/ATK 2000/DEF 2000)
"Now I can draw another card and that card is Willow with Calligrapher, by tributing my early Willow I call forth the one I drew!"
Flower Cardian Willow with Calligrapher: (Level 11/DARK/TUNER/WARRIOR/ATK 2000/DEF 2000)
"Your defeat is beginning as is my victory." Tokumatsu said drawing another card.
"Amazing he keeps summoning more monsters." Dennis said looking astonished.
"I drew Cherry Blossom with Curtain however since I don't have a Flower Cardian Cheery Blossom I have to send this to the graveyard." Tokumatsu explained as he inserted Cherry Blossom with Curtain the graveyard.
"Now this is where your downfall begins." said Tokumatsu as a static of electricity covered the Cardian monsters. "Now Willow with Calligrapher's effect activates with it all my monsters levels become 2."
(Flower Cardian Pine with Crane Level 1-2)
(Flower Cardian Zebra Grass with Moon Level 8-2)
(Flower Cardian Paulownia with Phoenix Level 12-2)
(Flower Cardian Willow with Calligrapher Level 11-2)
"But in exchange I can now Synchro Summon!" Tokumatsu proclaimed.
"Rain down! Become light and pour down! Synchro Shoukan! Come forth! Level 8! Flower Cardian – Light Shower!" Tokumatsu stated as the monsters leapt up and three of them became six white stars as two green Synchro rings surrounded them.
From the rings a umbrella appeared with flame before revealing it was being held by a humanoid monster that looked like it belonged in Kyoto with it's long roves and a prefecture hat having feathery wings on where the forehead was, the kimono was a light blue with a flowerly pattern as the monster stood ready
Flower Cardian – Light Shower (LV8/DARK/SYNCHRO/WARRIOR/ATK 3000/DEF 3000)
"3000 ATK right away!" Crow noted and Tokumatsu continued. "I set two cards and end my turn!" as two set cars appeared before Tokumatsu before disappearing.
"Brat, I'll say this again! Cards is a sign of those on top and Duelling is a sign of power!"
However Yuya remained defiant. "No matter how many times you'll say that, My beliefs aren't going to change! Dueling is meant to be fun! My turn, Draw!" Yuya draw his card.
"You're naïve, brat! I activate Light Shower's effect! When my opponent draws a card, I deal 1500 damage to them!" Then Light Shower threw up his umbrella as it spun around and light pellets rained down upon Yuya.
Yuya: (LP: 4000-1500=2500)
"What!?" Said Gongenzaka in surprise.
"But that means every time Yuya draws he'll take massive damage!" said Dennis
"Yuya's got to rid of that think and fast." Said Sawatari
"This is nothing I can't handle. I set the Pendulum Scale with Scale 3 Performapal Bit Bite Turtle and Scale 8 Timegazer magician!" Yuya's monsters appeared in their respective columns.
Timegazer Magician: (Spellcaster/Pendulum/DARK/LVL 3/SCALE 8/ ATK 1200/DEF 600)
Performapal Bit Bite Turtle: (REPTILE/Pendulum/WATER/LVL 3/SCALE 3/ ATK 800/DEF 1200)
"I can now summon monsters from lvl 4-7 simultaneously!"
"Simultaneously!?" Said one of Tokumatsu's lackeys
"It would appear dueling has changed much in the time I've spent here." Tokumatsu said
"Swing, pendulum of souls! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Shoukan! Appear now! My monsters! Wondrous and beautiful dichromatic eyes! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Performapal Teeter Totter Hopper! Performapal Sellshell Crab!" What emerged from the portal were his dragon, a circus themed grasshopper, and crab with a tiny bow on its shell.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: (Dragon/Pendulum/Level 7/DARK/ATK 2500/DEF 2000)
Performapal Sellshell Crab: (AQUA/Pendulum/WATER/LVL 2/SCALE 3/ ATK 500/DEF 2500)
Performapal Teeter Totter Hopper: (INSECT/EARTH/LVL 4/ATK 100/DEF 1200)
"I activate the Continuous Trap: Fraud Freeze, now when you Special Summon monsters from your hand this trap sends those monsters back to your hand." Tokumatsu explained. "Oh no!" Yuya exclaimed.
"Not good if Yuya Pendulum Summons next turn then the same thing will happen again!" Dennis yelled. "Not good is right cause Pendulum Summoning is the key to his tactics." Said Swatter
"To make matters worse; two more hits from Light Shower's effect will take out all of Yuya's Life points." said Crow
"Yuya." Gongenzaka said in concern
Meanwhile, Yuki was being led through a hallway with cells lined up across either side all having a sinister aura coming from them.
"This is where we like to house the worst of the worst and the most feared inmate here seems to of taking an interest in you. Take that however you like." the guard explained
"I feel so honored." Yuki said in a sarcastic tone.
"Master I don't like this." Said Hati appearing behind Yuki along with Skoll
"Yeah I don't see this ending well." said Skoll in concern
"Don't worry I can handle this." Yuki said in a calm tone of voice
"We are here." the guard said as they came to a large opening. On the other side was a large open area that looked like an underground duel arena. Many inmates could be seen above the dueling platform.
"I'm probably going to regret asking this but what is this place?" Asked Yuki
"This is the Facility's forbidden duel arena where the only rule here is to win." the guard explained
"Sounds like my kind of place." Yuki said
"That'll be enough guard I'll take it from here." said a voice from the other side of the room. With that the guard took his leave.
As Yuki walked on to the arena floor he saw a cloaked figure in front of him.
"Welcome kid, I've been expecting you." Said the hooded figure judging from the voice the one under the cloak seemed to be male.
"I'm assuming you're the one who called me out here." said Yuki
"Yes I noticed you in the mess hall and there was something about you that I liked." the man explained
"Before we go any further with whatever this is. Do you mind ditching the cloak." Yuki requested
"Fair enough." said the man as he removed the cloak from his body revealing a man about the age of twenty-three. He had long light blue hair grayish-green eyes and a prison mark trailing all the way down the right side of his face. He wore a long sleeve grey shirt underneath a matching open trench coat along with long ragged pants.
"Okay now who are you?" Yuki questioned
"In the world of dueling I am known as the Death God, but you may know me as Kyosuke Kiryu." the man known as Kiryu said
"So what is this about?" Yuki asked
"Before that how about I tell you a story. You see three years ago this section of the Facility was run by a dangerous criminal who was both a duelist and a flesh collector. He duel the other prisoners here and when he won he would kill them and take certain parts of their bodies as a prize along with their decks." Kiryu explained
"I'm not even going to ask what he does with them." said Yuki clearly disgusted
"Best you don't. Anyway he would bribe the guards to let these acts slide so this arena went by another name; Hell's Gate. He used fear to control the prisoners down here, that is until I came along. He challenged me to a duel and the poor fool was defeated by me quite easily. After that the Chief of the Facility made me a deal to keep the more troublesome inmates in line in exchange he knocks my sentence down a few years. He believes that you are one of these more troublesome individuals. He was going to ask me to straighten you out a bit but when I saw you in the mess hall there was something about you that I liked. That is why I called you down here; to see how you fair in the darkness." Kiryu said as snapped his fingers and on cue an inmate came with two duel disks along with four black metallic arm bands and two chokers.
"Allow me to warn you ahead of time these devices transfer damage to our life points and monsters to our bodies as well. Basically if a monster is destroyed or our life points take a hit a portion of it is transferred to the duelist. This is how the old boss of this place did things so I see no reason to change tradition." Kiryu explained
"So you want to duel me, eh? Alright mister Death God lets go." said Yuki as he put on the duel disk.
"Master is to excited about this." said Hati
"He is dueling someone whose making this duel sound like a death match. Of course Master is excited." Said Skoll
"So are these things lethal?" Yuki asked
"Depends on how much punishment you can take."
"That's right in all my excitement I never asked your name. So what do I call you kid?" Kiryu asked
"I am known by many as the Cold Blooded Hunter, but you may know me as Yuki Kōriryu."
DUEL!
Yuki: (LP: 4000) (hand: 5) (field: 0)
Kiryu: (LP: 4000) (hand: 5) (field: 0)
"I'll start." said Kiryu "First I summon Infernity Beast!" A great dane with two strange pouches on its throat appeared.
Infernity Beast: (Level 3/DARK/BEAST/ATK 1600/DEF 1200)
"Next I place two cards face down and end my turn."
"Alright I'm up, draw! To start I'll summon Frozen Hunter Frost Golem." A large bulky humanoid monster appeared made entirely of ice appeared with red eyes.
Frozen Hunter Frost Golem: (WATER/AQUA/LVL 6/ATK 2200/DEF 500)
"Since I didn't have a monsters on my field this guy requires no sacrifice. So now Frozen Hunter Frost Golem attack Infernity Beast!" Yuki's golem charged at Kiryu's monster.
"Sorry but I activate the Continuous Trap: Depth Amulet! With this trap; Whenever one of your monster declares an attack, I can discard 1 card from my hand to negate the attack." Kiryu explained as he discarded a card and a protective barrier shielded his monster.
"Fine then I place two cards face down and end my turn." Yuki said
Yuki: (LP: 4000) (hand: 3) (field: 3)
Kiryu: (LP: 4000) (hand: 1) (field: 3)
"Back to me then I draw! First I place another card face down on the field. And then I summon Infernity Necromancer!" A skeleton like fiend dressed in a ragged dark robe appeared.
Infernity Necromancer: (Level 3/DARK/FIEND/ATK 0/DEF 2000)
"First things first, when Necromancer is normal summoned it gets automatically switched into DEF mode and since I'm now not holding any cards in my hand I can activate Necromancer's effect to revive one Infernity monster in my graveyard. So rise Infernity Vulture." A vulture with dark grey feathers and a flaming head appeared.
Infernity Vulture: (Level 2/DARK/WINGED BEAST/TUNER/ATK 1000/DEF 1000)
"So that ugly bird of yours must of been what you discarded to used Depth Amulet." Yuki commented.
"Yes and now you'll see why. LVL 2 Infernity Vulture tunes LVL 3 Infernity Necromancer and Infernity Beast!" Kiryu explained as Vulture became two green synchro rings while Necromancer and Beast became a total of six stars.
"Sinister spirits! Combine your power and open the gates of Purgatory! Synchro Shoukan! Come forth! Level 8! Void Ogre Dragon!" From the green pillar of light came a large two legged red dragon. It had razor sharp claws, red orbs on its wrists, chest and forehead as well as a long tail. Along with armored wings.
Void Ogre Dragon: (LV8/DARK/SYNCHRO/DRAGON/ATK 3000/DEF 3000)
"3000 ATK. This could pose a problem." Yuki said
"More than you realize, because now Infernity Vulture's effect activates, when this card is used to Synchro Summon a DARK Synchro monster while I have no cards in my hand I can deal 1000 points of damage to you." Kiryu explained
Just then the bracers that Yuki was wearing started to spark. "What the-GAAH!" Yuki yelped in pain as the metallic braces shocked him.
"So what do you think of Hell's Gate's fun little rule." Kiryu joked
"Hilarious." Yuki snarked
Yuki: (LP: 4000-1000=3000)
"Next I activate one of my face down cards; the Spell Card Underworld Seal. Normally, this spell halves the ATK of any monster I choose but if there aren't any cards in my hand when I activate this card it can reduce a monster's ATK to 0. Frost Golem's ATK is now 0." A purple magic circle appeared underneath Frost Golem draining it of its ATK. Yuki was then shocked again.
"But I didn't even lose LP's that time."
"No but its also triggered when your monster's ATK is drained or the monster is destroyed." Kiryu explained
"Wish I knew that five seconds ago." Yuki thought
"This is the end. Battle! Void Ogre Dragon finish off that Golem. Darkness Fire Blast!" Kiryu's dragon let loose a stream of dark crimson fire at Yuki's monster.
"I don't think so I activate the trap Frozen Shackles Gleipnir! With this trap I can negate your dragon's ATK and permanently strip it of 500 ATK and DEF." Yuki explained as chains of ice ensured Kiryu's dragon.
"Sorry but its not going to be that easy. I activate Void Ogre Dragon's effect! Once per turn, during either player's turn, when my opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card while I have no cards in my hand: I can negate the activation and destroy the card."
"Not good!" Yuki said surprised as the ice chains were shattered by Void Ogre Dragon.
"Now let's end this. Darkness Fire Blast!" The dragon resumed its attack destroying Yuki's golem causing an explosion.
"Shame and I thought the kid had some potential." said Kiryu
"Sorry but we're not finished here." Yuki's voice was heard through the smoke. When it cleared Yuki is seen with his LP's intact and behind him was a large blue transparent bird with crystal like feathers. Not only that but his Golem was still on the field
"But how did you survive!?" said Kiryu
"Simple, before your dragon's attack got me I activated the effect of Frozen Hunter Crystal Falcon from my hand. See when a WATER monster I control is attacked all I have to do is send this card to the graveyard, once I did that it protects my monster from being destroyed and reduces the damage to 0." Yuki explained
Frozen Hunter Crystal Falcon (Level 2/WATER/WINGED BEAST/ATK 1000/DEF 1000)
"Not bad kid, but it is going to take more than that to win this duel. So for now I'll end my turn."
Yuki: (LP: 3000) (hand: 2) (field: 2)
Kiryu: (LP: 4000) (hand: 0) (field: 3)
"My turn DRAW!" Yuki exclaimed
"Okay so my only monster is powerless and I'm up against a monster with 3000 ATK and can shut down the first spell or trap I play which will make it hard to Ritual Summon. Not to mention its DEF is too high to be destroyed with Glacial Spino's effect. I don't have my pendulum cards in my hand either. Although, there is another option." Yuki thought as he looked at the card he drew. "Perfect."
"I summon Frozen Hunter Arctic Naga!" An anthropomorphic snake with icy blue scales appeared. It held a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, both made of ice.
Frozen Hunter Arctic Naga (Level 1/WATER/REPTILE/ATK 0/DEF 0)
"Why would he bring out another monster with 0 ATK?" Kiryu thought to himself.
"I now activate Arctic Naga's effect! This monster's effect is quite special; I can tribute Frozen Hunter monsters on my field and Ritual summon a Ritual monster from my hand whose level is equal to the monsters I sacrifice without a ritual spell. So long as the ritual monster has "Frozen Hunter" or "Ritual Dragon" in its name. Naga is level 1 and Golem is level 6 so I'm allowed to summon a level 7 Ritual monster."
"Ritual!?" Kiryu said in confusion as a blizzard surrounded Yuki's two monsters.
"Mighty giant of ice and snow, cunning serpent that braves the world of ice, become the sacrifices to awaken a great and destructive power. RITUAL SHOUKAN! APPEAR! Relentless dragon that brings forth the frozen Ragnarök! Arctic Zero Ritual Dragon!" The blizzard dispersed and the large two legged dragon with blue ice like scales appears in the previous monsters place.
Arctic Zero Ritual Dragon (Level: 7/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000/DRAGON/RITUAL/WATER)
"A ritual monster? Interesting but my dragon is stronger that yours." Kiryu remarked
"True but high ATK power doesn't really help against me. Because now Frost Golem's effect activates; when this card goes from the field to the graveyard as ritual material I can destroy one non-Water monster on the field and then deal half of its ATK as damage and of course I choose Void Ogre Dragon." Yuki explained as several large ice shards shot out at Kiryu's dragon.
"Sorry but I activate the Counter Trap- Underworld Providence. When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated and I have no cards in my hand: I can send the same type of card (Monster, Spell, or Trap) from my deck to the graveyard; then I negate the activation, destroy that card. So all I have to do is send Infernity Bull to the graveyard and my dragon's safe." Kiryu explained as the ice shards shattered.
Infernity Bull (Level 4/DARK/BEAST/ATK 1600/DEF 1300)
"Fine then. BATTLE! Arctic Zero Ritual Dragon attack Void Ogre Dragon!"
"Have something up your sleeve or do you just suck at math. My dragon is the stronger beast."
"Not for long. At this moment Arctic Zero's effect activates all enemy monsters are switched into DEF mode and their DEF points are then cut in half, GO FREEZING CURSE!" Yuki exclaimed, upon doing this Arctic Zero flapped its wings and summoned a blizzard that froze Void Ogre Dragon.
Void Ogre Dragon: (DEF 3000/2=1500)
"Quite the effect." Kiryu commented
Then streams of snow swirled together in the mouth of Yuki's dragon as the gem in its chest glowed. "Roaring Glacier Blast!" Yuki said right before the dragon fired a power ice like laser from its mouth destroying the target's frozen form. "My dragon also inflicts piercing damage." Yuki added as the bracers shocked Kiryu.
Kiryu: (LP: 4000-1000=3000)
"And now my dragon's finally effect activates. When my dragon destroys level 5 or higher monster the opponent takes 1000 points of damage." Arctic Zero spread its wing and hundreds on small ice shard appeared out of thin air. "Go Crystal Bombardment!" With that the ice shard rained down on Kiryu and the bracers shocked him again.
Kiryu: (LP: 3000-1000=2000)
"How does it feel to be on the receiving end Mr. Death God." Yuki joked. However, Kiryu did not seem to be in very much pain. "Er, didn't that hurt?"
"I have felt these shocks many times before so I'm bit more used to then most people." said Kiryu "So got anything else for me."
"No I'm done."
Yuki: (LP: 3000) (hand: 1) (field: 2)
Kiryu: (LP: 2000) (hand: 0) (field: 1)
"I draw!" Kiryu said smirking when he looked at the card. "I activate the spell Infernity Tuning! I can only activate this spell when there are no other cards in my hand; it lets me banish Infernity monsters in my graveyard and used them to Synchro Summon, so long as one of those monsters is a tuner." Kiryu explained
"You can Synchro summon with cards in your graveyard!?" said Yuki
"Yes I can and now I will! I banish Infernity Vulture, Infernity Necromancer, and Infernity Beast that are in my graveyard and Synchro Summon." A black portal opened in the ground and the three monsters appeared from it. Vulture became two green synchro rings while Necromancer and Beast became a total of six stars.
"The dead and the living...The moment they meet at zero, the demonic dragon will be released from the cage of eternity! SYNCHRO SHOUKAN! Come forth LVL 8! Infernity Doom Dragon!" A grotesque black dragon appeared from the green pillar of light, its wings were frayed. The dragon's two main arms end with pincers for hands, and there is a smaller arm underneath the right one. On the top of the monster's head, there appears to be what looks like a some sort of crown. The dragon also had four eyes.
Infernity Doom Dragon (LV8/DARK/SYNCHRO/DRAGON/ATK 3000/DEF 2400)
"Now that's ugly." Yuki commented
"I activate Infernity Doom Dragon's effect: Once per turn, since I have no cards in my hand, I can select 1 monster you control and destroy it. Then I can inflict damage to your LP's equal to half its ATK. However, my dragon can't attack the turn this effect is used. No matter I still get rid of your only monster and a good chunk of your LP's. Go Corrosion Blast!" The dragon unleashed a powerful blast of fire at Arctic Zero.
"Oh no you don't, by banishing Frozen Hunter Crystal Falcon from my graveyard I prevent my dragon from being destroyed." Yuki explained as the bird with crystal feathers appeared and created a wall of ice that blocked the stream of fire.
"Fine then I activate Infernity Bull's effect from my graveyard: During the end phase of my turn and my hand is empty; I'm allowed to take any trap card from my deck and place it face down on the field. Turn over." Kiryu said
Yuki: (LP: 3000) (hand: 1) (field: 2)
Kiryu: (LP: 2000) (hand: 0) (field: 3)
"My turn I draw!" Said Yuki "If he went through all that trouble just to get that trap card it's probably something to deal with Arctic Zero's effect. I should proceed cautiously."
"I activate the spell Ritual of Greed: since I have a ritual monster on my field I can draw three cards from by deck but then must discard one." Yuki explained, however right as he was about to draw his cards Yuki felt a strange yet familiar sensation.
"What the- this feeling it's the same as when I was dueling Obelisk Force." Yuki said mentally before his pendant flashed. When Yuki opened his eyes he was once again in the frozen wasteland.
"This is starting to get really old." Yuki said
Suddenly, Yuki heard a loud screech coming from above him. "Okay, whatever that was didn't sound friendly." Yuki thought turning around and looked up to see a large winged silhouette beast like figure perched on ridge behind a veil of snow.
When Yuki blinked again he was back in the duel no time seemed to have passed. "I'm not sure what that was but if was like last time then Kiryu is in for a nasty surprise."
"Brace yourself Death God. Because the real duel starts now." Yuki said as he drew his cards. "Alright let's see what we got here." Yuki thought as studied his cards but was surprised by the third one he drew. "This card was never in my deck before." Just then Yuki heard the screech from before. "Be patient I'll bring you out soon."
"First, due to Ritual of Greed's effect I send one card in my hand to the graveyard. Next I summon the tuner monster Frozen Hunter Crystal Scorpion." A blue scorpion the size of Hati & Skoll with a crystal like exoskeleton appeared.
Frozen Hunter Crystal Scorpion (Level 1/WATER/INSECT/TUNER/ATK 100/DEF 500)
"A tuner!? So you are going to synchro summon!" said Kiryu
"You'll see. Since I've got exactly two WATER monsters I can special summon this monster by halving its ATK. So rise Frozen Hunter Snowstorm Wyvern!" A sudden pillar of snow appeared and then quickly disperse revealing blue wyvern the same size as Arctic Zero. It had green glowing eyes and a spear like horn made of ice. It's wings were snow white and had blade like mandibles.
Frozen Hunter Snowstorm Wyvern (LVL 7/WATER/DRAGON/ATK 2600-1300=1300/DEF 2000)
"Three monsters just like that. You must think you're so clever." Kiryu commented
"I don't think I know, because when Wyvern is summoned it destroys all of your spell and trap cards. Hailstorm of Destruction!" Yuki's wyvern let loose a hailstorm at Kiryu field.
"I activate the trap Assault Mode Activate! This trap allows me to tribute 1 Synchro Monster on my field. After that I can Special Summon 1 "/Assault Mode" monster whose name includes the Tributed monster's name from my Deck in Attack Position." As Infernity Doom Dragon was engulfed in a pillar of fire.
"Assault Mode monster?" Yuki said in confusion
"I tribute Infernity Doom Dragon! Demonic dragon from the cage of eternity, dawn the armor of calamity and let the world feel your outrage! Come forth level 10! Infernity Doom Dragon/Assault Mode!" Infernity Doom Dragon reappeared but had black armor covering most of its body with green highlights.
Infernity Doom Dragon/Assault Mode (LVL 10/DARK/DRAGON/ATK 3500/DEF 2900)
"That's not good." Yuki remarked at the upgraded dragon
"Nice upgrade huh? Infernity Doom Dragon/Assault Mode's effect activates! Since I'm cardless I can destroy the monster on your field with the most ATK and deal its ATK as damage so say goodbye to your Arctic Zero Ritual Dragon! Calamity Breath!"
"Wait what!" said Yuki before Infernity Doom Dragon/Assault Mode unless a large fire ball that destroyed Arctic Zero Ritual Dragon causing an explosion that send Yuki flying to the floor and shocking him in the process.
Yuki: (LP: 3000-2500=500)
"And just like that your best monster is gone and almost all LP's went with it." said Kiryu with mocking grin. "Why not make it easy on yourself and give up now."
Kiryu then noticed that Yuki seemed to be unconscious. Then an inmate came down to the field.
"Hey Boss should I call it a forfeit?" the inmate asked
"Give him 4 minutes if he doesn't get up by then the match is over." said Kiryu
-FLASHBACK/DREAM-
"Yuki. Yuukki. YUKI!" Yelled a voice causing Yuki's eyes to snap open. Yuki looked up and saw a girl with magenta eyes and long dark red hair with lighter strands of red hair in the front. She wore a green jacket with a white undershirt, black pants that reached down her knees, finally on her left arm was a bracelet that resembled a fish scale with a red gem in the center. It was Shina.
"Shina what do you want can't you see I'm napping. *Yawn* Go annoy someone else." Yuki said laying back down on the highest roof of Blood Vulture. (A.N. Imagine the wide open roof from Duel Academy from GX.)
"Argh, you can be such a jerk sometimes." Shina huffed "You force me." Shina then pinched Yuki's ear waking him right up.
"Ow! What was that for!" Yuki said rubbing his ear
"You wouldn't wake up. What choice did I have." China a said feigning innocence.
"Alright since I'm wide awake what was it you wanted?" Yuki asked
"I thought you would at least try to remember that my mission to the fusion dimension is today. Honestly, I would like to think seeing Everett and I off would be more important to you than your beauty sleep, Scarface." Shina ranted
"Alright enough with the guilt. Forgive me if I can't completely believe the existence of other dimensions." Yuki said standing up
"Oh no you're not going to get off that easily. You'll just have to make it up to me when I get back." Said Shina crossing her arms.
"I'm afraid to ask what that entails." Yuki muttered as the two made their way to the teleportation zone. There were about 20-25 other Blood Vulture members including Everett who walked up to them.
"There you are Shina cutting it kind of close aren't you." said Everett
"Sorry Everett I had to get Yuki down from the roof, again." Said Shina
"Sell out." Yuki muttered
Just then two other boys walked up to the trio. One was a little taller than Yuki and Shina. He had short blond hair, blue eyes and glasses. He wore dark blue shirt with a golden crown on it underneath a white long sleeve jacket. He also wore long matching pants.
The other boy was shorter than the rest of the group and looked a year younger. He had red eyes and slightly long black hair. He wore a dark sleeveless shirt with a white collar and a red tie. He wore a slanted red belt that hanged off his short red pants. He also wore and black shoes along red gauntlets and black gloves.
"Kiba and Ricky I was wondering where the two of you were." said Shina
"Well we are a team and it would be pretty lame of us if we didn't see off our teammates as they went on their dimensional research mission." said the blonde boy known as Kiba
"Yeah we totally would drop everything at a moments notice." said the red eyed boy known as Ricky
"Says the guy whom I had to drag out of the cafeteria kicking and screaming." Kiba remarked
"Shut up Pretty Boy." Said Ricky
"If it makes you feel any better I had to drag Yuki from the roof and wake him up." Said Shina
"Haha why am I not surprised." Kiba laughed
"Well he said he make it up to me when this was over so it's fine." said Shina
"Hey I didn't agree to that!" Yuki yelled
"All members of the Fusion Dimension expedition please report the meeting area immediately." Said a voice on a speaker.
"Guess that's our cue. Let's go Shina." Said Everett
"Alright I'm coming." said Shina as the two began walking
"Hey Shina, Everett." said Yuki
"What?" the two said in unison
"Don't get killed, got it?" said Yuki
"Who do you think you're talking to?" said Shina
"We shall return triumphantly." said Everett
"Just remember to stay vigilant and not to get careless." said a bulky yet lean thirty year old looking man in military style clothes. He had black hair with a few silver streaks along with green eyes.
"Commander Harada are you here to see us off as well?" said Everett
"Well considering the fact I made this team, trained it, and pilot the escape vehicles every time one of you blows up a building. So I might as well be here when two of my subordinates go to another dimension."
"Was that really necessary." Ricky muttered
"Final call for Fusion Expedition." Said the speaker
"Well better get going." Said Everett as he and Shina walked off
"Oh and Yuki here take this." Shina through him a card which he caught
"Remember you owe me a favor." Shina said as everything faded into white
-FLASHBACK/DREAM END-
Yuki's eyes snapped open and he began to stand up.
"Huh, ten more seconds and you would have lost. You've got guts kid since I like you I'll give you one more chance to surrender." said Kiryu
"I'll pass." Said Yuki getting back up
"I'm impressed you were able to get back up from a blast like that. However, I can guaranty that another shock like the last one will kill you." Kiryu warned Yuki
"Then its a good thing it won't be there for long." Yuki said with slit pupils
"That look in his eye. It's different from before. Where did this sudden determination come from?" Kiryu thought
Yuki then heard the screech again. "Sorry for the wait." Yuki said mentally
"Now level 1 Frozen Hunter Crystal Scorpion tunes level 7 Frozen Hunter Snowstorm Wyvern!" Crystal Scorpion became a single green synchro ring and Snowstorm Wyvern turned into seven stars. The stars then became a green pillar light.
"Beautiful wings that light up the night sky! Razor sharp talons that tear through diamond! Descend now! SYNCHRO SHOUKAN! Come forth LVL 8! Frozen Hunter Chieftain Aurora Griffin!" From the green pillar of light a griffin with snow white feathers appeared. It had neon green eyes and blue armor covering most of its body in a similar fashion to Glacial Spino. The feathers in its wings were sharp and blade like and its talons were icy blue.
Frozen Hunter Chieftain Aurora Griffin (LVL8/WATER/SYNCHRO/WINGED BEAST/ATK 2800/DEF 2400)
"An impressive monster, but it's no match for my dragon."
"Good thing high ATK strength doesn't really hinder me. Crystal Scorpion's effect activates: when it's used to synchro summon a "Frozen Hunter" synchro monster I can switch on monster you control into DEF Position and then I get to draw a card." Yuki explained as parts of Kiryu's dragon became covered in ice.
"But your monster still can't destroy mine." said Kiryu
"That's what you think, I activate Aurora Griffin's effect, Once per turn: This monster can destroy all DEF Position monsters you control and then you take 800 points of damage for each destroyed card. Go Aurora Feather Storm!" As Yuki said this the griffin's wings lit up and shone my different colors like an actual aurora before a shower of aurora colored feathers rained down on Infernity Doom Dragon/Assault Mode destroying it. Kiryu was shocked again by the bracers.
Kiryu: (LP: 2000-800=1200)
"I activate Infernity Doom Dragon/Assault Mode's effect: when this card is destroyed I can summon Infernity Doom Dragon from my graveyard." From a pillar of fire Infernity Doom Dragon returned to the field.
Infernity Doom Dragon (LVL8/DARK/SYNCHRO/DRAGON/ATK 3000/DEF 2400)
"What a pain." Yuki thought
-MEANWHILE WITH YUYA-
"Your Pendulum Summoning was just sealed therefore you don't have time or the chance to accomplish anything."
Yuya: (LP: 2500) (hand: 4) (field: 2)
Tokumatsu: (LP: 4000) (hand: 0) (field: 3)
"It seems he's changed." Crow said. This got the Lancers to look at the Blackwing Duelist. "This isn't enjoyable dueling style that Enjoy Chojiro was back then." Crow stated.
"Enjoy Chojiro?" Yuya asked in questioning tone. "
"Don't call me that!" Tokumatsu shouted.
"The Boss never has lost since he arrived here, his strategy is invicible." The short common man said.
"Thousands of duelists tried to de-throne him but all they got was crushed, he stomped them and now he's going to stomp you." Tokumatsu 2nd lackey added.
"I summon a monster facedown in defense mode!" Yuya declared.
"Very clever Freeze Fraud only effects Special Summoned monsters but not the ones that are Normal Summoned." Tokumatsu said. "As long as I have a card to play I still have a chance." Yuya stated. "I end my turn." Yuya declared. "The duelists before felt the same way but they never could defeat me and you won't either." Tokumatsu stated.
Yuya: (LP: 2500) (hand: 3) (field: 3)
Tokumatsu: (LP: 4000) (hand: 0) (field: 3)
"Now its my turn, if I draw now the 1500 damage you receive with Lightshower will be negated but I give up drawing a card." Tokumatsu declared. "I choose not to draw but in exchange on your next turn when you draw you'll take 1500 points of damage."
This made Yuya gasp. "On your next turn when you draw, you'll take 1500 damage! Fall down your path of self-destruction!" Tokumatsu explained "Nice one Boss!" One of Tokumatsu's lackeys said and the other spoke. "You got your winning combo set!" and Tokumatsu looked at them, annoyed. "How many times must I tell you!? Your cheering does nothing!" Tokumatsu scolded the two and looked at Yuya. "I don't need anyone cheering for me... All I need to do is win my Duels to prove I have the power to remain on the top!"
"What a weird guy... People cheering for you means you're standing out above others! That's the essence of Dueling!" Sawatari muttered and Gogenzaka looked to him. "That only matters to you!" Gogenzaka said.
"My lethal Combo is already complete if you surrender here and hand over half of your cards then I'll spare you." Tokumatsu said clearing his throat. "Your combo maybe complete, but my loss hasn't been decided, I still have a chance!" Yuya replied.
"There's nothing you can change of overpowering strength!" Tokumatsu stated. "If I don't give up then I can turn things around!" Yuya replied. "Looks like I'll have to make you understand after all, Lightshower attacks!" Chojiro commanded.
Lightshower sliced Yuya's facedown monster which revealed to be Performapal Teeter Tooter Hopper and was destroyed.
"I end my turn." Tokumatsu said.
Yuya gritted his teeth and put his hand on his deck preparing to draw. "If I draw then I'll take 1500 points of damage but I have no choice."
"Draw!" He declared as he drew from his deck and looked at what card he drew. "Lightshower's ability activates which deals you 1500 points of damage since you drew from your deck!" Tokumatsu stated.
Lightshower's umbrella was covered with electric around then fired glowing light cards at the Yuya.
Yuya: (LP: 2500-1500=1000)
"This is bad if this keeps up then Yuya will lose." Crow said looking worried.
"I place a monster facedown in defense mode." Yuya declared as he summoned his monster facedown. "I end my turn."
"That's all?" Tokumatsu asked.
"Its over." Shinji said.
"My turn, due the effect of Lightshower I won't draw." Tokumatsu explained. "I'll have Lightshower attack your facedown monster!"
Lightshower attacked the facedown monster with its umbrella which revealed to Hip-Hippo and then was destroyed.
"This is the same as before and if this continues..." Gongenzaka began to say looking nervous. "Your turn is next and your life points are at 1000 when you draw this duel is over." Tokumatsu said. "I end my turn."
Yuya hesitated to draw. "Come on, draw!" Tokumatsu yelled impatiently.
"He's changed so much." Crow said. "Yeah, he's different from way back when he was his past self." Shinji added.
"Yes, are you saying he wasn't a negative old grouch before?" Dennis asked.
"Tokumatsu was enjoyable guy." Shinji answered. "He was a duelist we admired back then when we were kids." Crow added.
"Admired you say, hmm then tell us." Gongenzaka said.
"Back then he was the stare of hope for the Commons, he didn't care about winning or losing even when he was in a pinch he'd never forgot to enjoy dueling." Crow explained.
-FLASHBACK (SORT OF)-
Tokumatsu was dueling and he was smiling.
"When he drew he'd create a miracle and clinch victory even after becoming a famous duelist, he would teach the Commons Kids how to duel." Crow explained.
Tokumatsu is seen playing with kids, he is show to be carrying one of them on his shoulder, laughing and smiling with them too.
He is seen teaching kids how to pratice drawing from her decks though they didn't have duel disks or decks. "I went to those classes too, if there was street kids getting in a fight he'd stop them."
"If you both have much energy in settle it in a duel." Chojiro said getting between two street kids and given them both Duel Disks. "Dueling isnt merely a game but you'll understand your opponent as well as yourself and then form bonds."
"Chojiro, Chojiro!" A bunch of children called out with smiles and Chojiro was smiling back.
-FLASHBACK END-
"He's now taking his opponents cards and waiting for them to fall in defeat." Crow said. "He's been so successful." Gongenzaka said. "Then why is he in the facility?" Sawatari asked. "I don't know." Crow replied. "Last I heard he was completely defeated by Duelists from the Tops after that nobody knew where he'd gone but we heard that he'd falling into ruin...but." Shinji explained.
"What's the matter, give up cause your defeat is set." Tokumatsu stated. "Nothing like that hasn't been decided!" Yuya replied.
This got Tokumatsu surprised that the Entertainer wasn't giving up. "No one knows what'll happen before the end but that's what it makes dueling so fun." Yuya added.
This caused Tokumatsu to grit his teeth. "Shut it, enjoying duels is meaningless!"
"Dueling makes people happy and puts on smiles." Yuya replied. "My mother and father and the duelists I dueled, taught me that."
"I used to think like you but that I learned what dueling was really about the hard way." Tokumatsu said turning his head away.
-FLASHBACK-
"While thousands dwell in luxury in the magnificent above the city, far below millions suffered just to survive, I couldn't allow injustice do what they wish so that's why I challenged the Top Siders." Tokumatsu said.
He was dueling against five Top Duelists wearing masks.
"My victory was at hand, to prove the Commons worthy of respect and that it would bring evolutionary change."
He is shown to have his duel disk upside down then he sent flying screaming with his cards scattered.
"I failed, the Top Siders didn't duel fairly they stacked the strongest cards that money could buy and use them to destroy me." Tokumatsu said.
He was fall on his back as the audience booed. "The fans I had, their cheering vanished, and in the end, I was ridiculed, heartbroken from that day forward I didn't care what people think anymore all that mattered what was winning."
Tokumatsu got back on his feet. "I decided to do the unthinkable, I cheated." Tokumatsu said as he secretly drew a card from his sleeve. "With that one mistake, I went against everything I believed in causing me to fall in a downward spiral that led me to the detention center that I call home."
-FLASHBACK END-
"That's how life goes sometimes I'm no longer naive like you, I tried to bridge the gap between Tops and the Commons but in the end all it did was put me in this hell hole." The old man stated. "Dueling is about surviving. I learned that dreams are meaningless. It's better to live in reality. But enough about that I will use the power I have to crush you." Tokumatsu declared but Yuya just grinned "Something funny?"
"Nothing it's just you remind me of a friend of my mine. He doesn't believe that dueling is for fun either. He acts all cold hearted and always seems at someones neck." said Yuya
"Doesn't sound like much of a friend." said Tokumatsu
"However, I've seen that deep down he does care about others. Maybe his thoughts about dueling are wrong but that's because he never got the chance to experience how fun dueling could be. I want to show him what dueling is really about." said Yuya
"What does Yuya mean?" asked Dennis
"Is he talking about Yuki?" Asked Gongenzaka
"I'll tell you about it later." said Sawatari
"You're living in a fantasy world. You can't change a thing!" Tokumatsu exclaimed
"Whether I can change it or not I'm not giving up... let's settle this!" Yuya proclaimed as he put his goggles on his face and put his right hand on his deck. "DRAW!"
"This ends here cause Lightshower deals you 1500 points of damage!" Tokumatsu proclaimed as his Synchro Monster unleashed its lightning bolt firing a bunch of glowing cards at Yuya.
"I drew Performapal Rain Goat by sending this monster to the graveyard I negate an effect damage!" A blue goat shaped coated figure created a light shield protecting Yuya's life points.
"He did it!" The red and green prisoners proclaimed in unison. "Maybe Tokumatsu is not as invincible as he thinks." Gongenzaka said.
"That was lucky but that won't last long." Tokumatsu said. "Unless its not since I sent a Performapal to the graveyard I bring back Teeter Totter Hopper." Yuya explained as his monster returned.
Performapal Teeter Totter Hopper: (INSECT/EARTH/LVL 4/ATK 100/DEF 1200)
Performapal Rain Goat (BEAST/WATER/LVL 1/ATK 0/DEF 0)
"That card is back but what for?" Sawatari asked. "I bet that monster will turn things Yuya's way." Dennis answered.
"Once per turn Teeter Tooter Hopper can't be destroyed in battle and if I chose to sent it to graveyard at the end of your turn then I can add Peformapal from my graveyard that's Level 3 or below." Yuya explained.
"Impossible." Tokumatsu said getting annoyed. "That means Yuya can bring back Performapal Rain Goat." Crow stated. "That means Yuya can use Teeter Tooter Hopper to protect himself." Gongenzaka said. "Then he can sent it the graveyard to bring back Rain Goat." Dennis added. "Then if Tokumatsu tries to finish him off then he use Rain Goat's effect to protect from taking damage from Lightshower's ability." Shinji added.
"I get it now he's taking a infinte loop to take no damage." Crow said in realization. "No way." Tokumatsu's short lackey said in surprise. "No one has ever stopped the boss' combo before." Tokumatsu's tall lackey added in surprise.
"Well there's always a first." Yuya said taking off his goggles off his eyes and putting them on his head. Just then a bunch of prisoner approached from outside the cell.
"Looks like they're here to back up the boss." Tokumatsu's short lackey said. "Yes, but backing up won't help the boss get around boy's infinite loop he just threw down." Tokumatsu's tall lackey said. "No worry the boss will break through cause if there's loop then there's got to be a loop hole, right?" The short lackey prisoner asked.
"I end my turn and I can't wait to see what happens next since I beat your combo, so let's have fun!" Yuya proclaimed.
"Argh, I already told you that I'm not dueling to have fun, I chose to draw a card." Tokumatsu stated doing his stance. "What about his strategy?" His tall lackey asked. "Guess the grump decided to change things up." Gongenzaka answered.
"He's going to draw!" A prisoner stated.
"I've never dreamed that I would have to depend on a draw again." Tokumatsu thought putting his right hand on his deck. "I must admit it feels good." The old man grinned
"Wait is that a grin, it can't be." His short lackey said looking surprised. "I spent years trying to avoid first by cheating then taking a risk free strategy but the truth is that I miss taking a risk on the next card." Tokumatsu thought.
"ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY!" The prisoners cheered happily making Tokumatsu grin even more.
"That's it guys keep it going!" Yuya answered with encouragement. Shinji and Crow grinned at this too.
"Hmm, I don't think I've ever seen the inmates so happy." Tokumatsu thought
"Alright you morons! You want excitement then let's enjoy!" Tokumatsu said as he drew his card. "It's here, I activate the spell Super Koi Koi!"
"There's the Enjoy Chojiro I remember!" Said Crow in excitement
"Yeah and spell is an awesome one!" said Shinji
Due to Superkioko's effect I can draw three cards, if one of the three cards is Flower Cardians I can Special Summon them if not they're going to the graveyard then every card that was sent I take 1000 points of damage." Chojiro explained. "Duelling is life itself! You only live once. There are days when you win, and days when you lose! Lose without shame, win with humility! Simply put... Let's Enjoy!" as the inmates screamed out with him as did Crow and Shinji. "ENJOY"
Chojiro drew his first card. "I drew Flower Cardian Clover with Boar!" The prisoners cheered. "I'll draw my card 2." Chojiro said. "GO ENJOY CHOJIRO!" His lackeys cheered together. He drew and looked at what he drew. "I drew Flower Cardian Maple with Deer and for my card number 3!" He drew his 3rd card. "I drew Flower Cardian Peon with Butterfly!" Three new hanafuda monsters appeared with patterns of a red flower with butterflies, another with a deer and another with a boar man.
"Three monsters!" said the inmates
"Due to my spell's effect all the summoned monsters ATK and DEF become 0 and they all become level 2."
Flower Cardian Clover with Bora (Level 7-2/DARK/WARRIOR/ATK 1000-0/DEF 1000-0)
Flower Cardian Maple with Deer (Level 10-2/DARK/WARRIOR/ATK 1000-0/DEF 1000-0)
Flower Cardian Peon with Butterfly(Level 6-2/DARK/WARRIOR/TUNER/ATK 1000-0/DEF 1000-0)
"And now Peon with Butterfly tunes Maple with Deer and Clover with Boar!" Peon with Butterfly became two synchro rings as Maple with Deer and Clover with Boar became a total of four stars and the a green pillar of light. "As ferocious as a lion. As majestic as a deer! As beautiful as a butterfly! Synchro Shoukan! Level 6! Flower Cardian- Boardefly!" From the green light came an armored warrior twirled it's spear as it emerged, its head had deer antlers while its body was a boar's head, wearing a blue sash and its legs were armored with the feet being similar to that of a butterfly's.
Flower Cardian – Boardefly (LV6/DARK/SYNCHRO/WARRIOR/ATK 2000/DEF 2000)
"BATTLE! Flower Cardian- Lightshower attack Performapal Teeter Totter Hopper."
"Once per turn, Teeter Totter Hopper can't be destroyed." Said Yuya as a barrier protected his monster.
"True but Flower Cardian- Boardefly can now finish it off and inflict piercing damage." Tokumatsu explained as his second synchro monster destroyed Yuya's Hopper.
Yuya: (LP: 1000-800=200)
"My turn is now over. With only 200 LP you are out of options. But something tells me that won't stop you." Tokumatsu said
Yuya: (LP: 2500) (hand: 3) (field: 2)
Tokumatsu: (LP: 4000) (hand: 0) (field: 4)
"Of course not." Yuya said causing Tokumatsu to grin
"The real fun is just starting. Ladies and Gentlemen! This is my final turn, will I make a miraculous comeback or fall in defeat. It is decided right now I DRAW!" Yuya exclaimed
"I activate Pendulum Storm. This card destroys my Pendulum cards." A tornado destroys Yuya's cards
"Huh, he's not going to pendulum summon?" said one Gongenzaka's lackeys
"Rest assured as one act closes another one starts. Because now I can destroy 1 Spell/Trap Card you control." Yuya explains as Fraud Freeze is destroyed.
"Wait with that gone…" Said one of Tokumatsu's lackeys
"Then Yuya can Pendulum summon!" Sawatari finished
"I set the Pendulum Scale Performapal Sellshell Crab and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. Swing, pendulum of souls! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Shoukan! Appear now! My monsters! From my extra deck! Timegazer Magician and Performapal Bit Bite Turtle!"
Timegazer Magician: (Spellcaster/Pendulum/DARK/LVL 3/SCALE 8/ ATK 1200/DEF 600)
Performapal Bit Bite Turtle: (REPTILE/Pendulum/WATER/LVL 3/SCALE 3/ ATK 800/DEF 1200)
"BATTLE! Performapal Bit Bite Turtle attack Light Shower!" Yuya ordered
"Have you lost it my monster is far stronger." said Tokumatsu
"True but when my Turtle goes he takes your monster with it." Yuya explained as both monsters were destroyed.
"But the resulting battle damage finishes you."
"I activate Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's pendulum effect: when a pendulum monster battles I take no damage." Yuya explained
"Not bad."
"Now I activate Performapal Sellshell Crab's pendulum effect: When a pendulum monster I control gets destroyed I can summon one monster in my pendulum zone. Come, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya's dragon vanished from the pillar of light and reappeared on his field.
"Now attack Flower Cardian- Boardefly!" Yuya's dragon shot a stream of fire at Tokumatsu's monster. "I'll save my monster by activating the trap: Fraud Check none of my Flower Cardian monsters can be destroyed in battle this turn." Tokumatsu explained as blue shield protected his Monster.
"That attack was blocked." Sawatari said. "He'll still take damage." Gongenzaka said. "Odd-Eyes can double that damage!" Yuya declared. "Whenever Odd-Eyes battles a monster that's Level 5 or above then you take double the damage!"
Tokumatsu was sent flying away.
Tokumatsu: (LP: 4000-1000=3000)
"Next I activate the Spell: Pendulum Climax! By tributing my Timegazer Magician, I take one of your monsters that's in your graveyard and equip to Odd-Eyes." Yuya explained. "I choose to equip Cherry Bolssom to Odd-Eyes and it'll gains half of Cherry Belossom's ATK."
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK 2500-3500
"Your dueling style is quite entertaining." Chojiro praised. "I save the best moves for last cause now Odd-Eyes is allowed to attack again." Yuya stated as the Tokumatsu had a shocked look on his face. "SPIRAL STRIKE BURST!" Boardefly was hit by Odd-Eyes flame breath. "Like before you take double the damage." Yuya added with a smile. Chojiro smiled as his life points dropped to 0.
Tokumatsu: (LP: 3000-3000=0)
YUYA WIN
"Hey boss." His first lackey said. "You alright?" His 2nd lackey asked.
Tokumatsu opened his eyes and smiled. "I've never been better."
Yuya approached him smiling. "I must admit dueling you was great and fun." Tokumatsu said as he heard the prisoners cheering again.
He remembered the kids he taught how to duel chanting excitedly. "CHOJIRO, CHOJIRO, CHOJIRO, CHOJIRO!"
"LET'S ENJOY!" Chojiro proclaimed proudly.
-MEANWHILE-
Yuki: (LP: 500) (hand: 2) (field: 2)
Kiryu: (LP: 1200) (hand: 0) (field: 1)
Frozen Hunter Chieftain Aurora Griffin (LVL8/WATER/SYNCHRO/WINGED BEAST/ATK 2800/DEF 2400)
Infernity Doom Dragon (LVL8/DARK/SYNCHRO/DRAGON/ATK 3000/DEF 2400)
"So got anything else for me." Said Kiryu
"I place two cards face down and end my turn." said Yuki
"Alright I draw!" Kiryu declared "I summon Infernity Beetle." A large dark green beetle with white eyes appeared.
Infernity Beetle (LVL2/DARK/TUNER/INSECT/ATK 1200/DEF 0)
"Since I am once again cardless I can use Infernity Doom Dragon's effect to destroy your Griffin and deal you 1400 points of damage. Corrosion Blast!" The dragon unleashed a powerful blast of fire at Aurora Griffin.
"I activate the trap Frigid Shield Svalinn: This trap can negate can negate any card effect what happens next depends on the card. Since it is negating a monster effect: not only is the effect stopped but all of Infernity Doom Dragon's ATK and DEF drop to 0!" Yuki declared as a large shield made of ice block the dragon's flames and then shot back at blizzard like laser that froze Infernity Doom Dragon solid.
Infernity Doom Dragon (ATK 3000=0/DEF 2400=0)
"It's not over. I activate Infernity Beetle's effect: by tributing on Beetle I can summon 2 other copies from my deck." One beetle vanished and two more appeared in its placed.
"Now level 2 Infernity Beetle tunes level 8 Infernity Doom Dragon!" Beetle turned into two green synchro rings and Doom Dragon became eight stars. "Rise from the depths of the Underworld! Demonic dragon that devours the stars! Assume your true form! SYNCHRO SHOUKAN! Come forth LVL 10! Infernity Demise Lord Dragon!" From the green pillar of light came a slightly larger and more demonic looking version of Kiryu's dragon. The grotesque black dragon from before now had four flaming wings with sword like mandibles. The dragon's four arms end with pincers for hands, and buzzsaw like weapon running down its chest. On the top of the monster's head was an ominous green fire surrounded by a crown like head design. The dragon still had four eyes.
Infernity Demise Lord Dragon (LVL10/DARK/SYNCHRO/DRAGON/ATK 3500/DEF 3000)
"Hooollly crap I'm in trouble." Yuki said mentally
"I activate my dragon's effect, Once per turn, if I'm holding no cards all of you're cards get destroyed and my dragon gains 300 ATK till the end of your next turn. Devouring Inferno!" Kiryu exclaimed as the fire on his dragon's head erupted like a volcano causing all of Yuki's cards to get destroyed.
Infernity Demise Lord Dragon (ATK 3500+900=4400)
"I activate Aurora Griffin's final effect: When this card gets destroyed I can summon one WATER monster from my graveyard. So I resurrect Arctic Zero Ritual Dragon in DEF Position." Yuki explained as his dragon returned.
"Futile, Infernity Demise Lord Dragon attack! WRATH OF PURGATORY!" Kiryu ordered as a wide spread blast of green fire shot out from his dragon's mouth.
"I activate Ritual Protection's effect from my graveyard: if a Ritual monster on my field would be destroyed I can banish this card instead." Yuki explained as a protective shield kept Arctic Zero on the field.
"When was that in your graveyard!?"
"It was the face down your dragon destroyed."
"Your not out of the woods yet. I activate Demise Lord's second effect by tributing my last Infernity Beetle I can deal its ATK as damage." Kiryu explained as his beetle turned in a yellow like that went into the buzzsaw like weapon in his dragon's chest which let loose whirling fire at Yuki.
"I don't think so, I activate Frozen Shackles Gleipnir from my graveyard!"
"Another trap from the graveyard!?"
"Yup, by banishing this card from graveyard: your dragon's effect is negated until the end of this turn." Yuki explained as chains of ice protected from the fire. "Since it lost its effects your dragon's ATK goes back down to normal."
Infernity Demise Lord Dragon (ATK 4400-900=3500)
"To think you would keep that in reserve till now. Turn end." said Kiryu
"Like I've always been told: Always keep a hidden blade." said Yuki
Yuki: (LP: 500) (hand: 0) (field: 1)
Kiryu: (LP: 1200) (hand: 0) (field: 1)
"Woah check it out." Said one of the inmates watching.
"Yeah they have empty hands and only one monster on the field. Nothing in their spell or trap card zones either." said another inmate
"Alright, this is my last turn no matter what. Let's see with Arctic Zero's effect I lower Demise Lord's DEF to 1500. With the piercing damage and Crystal Bombardment I'll win. But Kiryu knows all this. So why didn't he seem more worried that he couldn't end the match that turn? Could his dragon have another effect? I don't have any cards in my hand and attacking with Arctic Zero is to risky." Just then a memory flashed in Yuki's mind of Shina.
"But like I said before giving up and dying here is not an option."
"I DRAW!" Yuki exclaimed with slit eyes
"This card is the one Shina gave me before her mission." Yuki then looked at his dragon "And there has never been a better time."
"Get ready Kiryu, because I'm about to change all the rules! I activate the spell, Ancient Ritual Art- Frozen Force! This card allows me to tribute one Ritual monster on my field and Ritual summon a monster that is one level higher from my hand or deck." Yuki explained as a veil on snow enveloped his dragon.
"WHAT!?" Said Kiryu in disbelief
"Blue dragon with fridge breath! Respond to the ancient ritual and become the embodiment of Fimbulvetr! Freeze Heaven, Hell, and Earth! Ritual Shoukan! APPEAR! LEVEL 8! Absolute Zero Ritual Dragon!" As the veil of snow disperse a large two legged dragon appeared, as it did a bone chilling wind blew through the arena. Its wings were larger, not as jagged and had claw like mandibles on them. Its scales looked more like armor with its arms having small spikes like the ones running down its back. The gem in its chest was slight larger. The dragon's one horn was replaced by two spear like horns on either side of its head and another blue gem similar to the in its chest and it also had sword like mandibles made of crystal on either side of its jaw.
Absolute Zero Ritual Dragon (LVL 8/WATER/RITUAL/DRAGON/ATK 3000/DEF 2500)
"Absolute Zero… Ritual Dragon." Kiryu said in awe "So you can evolve your dragon as well."
"Prepare to experience the true power of the Cold Blooded Hunter and his dragon. BATTLE! Absolute Zero Ritual Dragon attack Infernity Demise Lord Dragon! At this moment Absolute Zero's effect activates all enemy monsters are switched into DEF mode and their DEF points are reduced to 0! ETERNAL BLIZZARD!" Yuki's dragon spread its wings and summoned a powerful blizzard freezing Infernity Demise Lord Dragon. "And just like my previous dragon it inflicts piercing damage."
Infernity Demise Lord Dragon (DEF 3000=0)
"I activate Infernity Demise Lord Dragon's effect: when this monster is attacked and I don't have any cards in my hand he destroys the attacking monster and you take 500 points of damage." Kiryu explained "NOW YOU END!" however, his dragon stayed frozen. "Why isn't it activating!?"
"It Absolute Zero's effect when he attacks a level 5 or above monster: the opponent cannot activate any cards and/or effects until the end of the Damage Step." Yuki explained
"Impossible!" Kiryu exclaimed
"Absolute Zero Ritual Dragon let's finish this. GLACIAL DEVASTATION BLAST!" Yuki exclaimed as the crystal mandibles glowed along with the gems on the dragon's head and chest and its spear like horns as well. It then fired a massive electrically charged blizzard like laser destroying Infernity Demise Lord Dragon. Sending Kiryu flying onto the ground.
Kiryu: (LP: 1200-3000=0)
YUKI WIN
Yuki then walked up to Kiryu with his eyes returning to normal. "Hey Kiryu you still alive?" Yuki asked
"Yes don't worry I'm fine." He said as he began to remove the bracers as Yuki did the same.
"Well might as well make it official." Kiryu said
"Wait make what official?" Yuki said as Kiryu grabbed Yuki's arm raising it in the air.
"My fellow inmates! May I introduce the new Champion of Hell's Gate! Yuki Kōriryu!" Kiryu said as the inmates watching the duel cheered.
"Yuki! Yuki! Yuki! Yuki! Yuki! Yuki!"
"So kid since you beat me my position is now transferred to you. It is a pretty sweet deal. What do you say?" Kiryu asked
"Sorry but I'm not planning on staying here." Said Yuki
"Why not?"
"Because there is someone I must find and a mission I can't walk away from. But maybe you can help with something." said Yuki
"Alright name it." said Kiryu
