"Why you!" Noire growled.

He declared and held the two cards in the air which turned into blue streaks of light and shot into the opened portal in front of Brutus. "Appear! Number 101! Unappeased Soul placed aboard the Ark! Arise from the abyss so deep not even light can reach it!" A lightning bolt shot into the portal. "I Xyz Summon! Silent Honor ARK!" He declared and from the portal a large space ship erupted from it.

"Great this card." Julio growled.

"What's so bad about it?" Neptune asked.

"By removing overlay units it can attach a monster I control to it as one." Julio explained.

"That sounds bad." Compa said worried.

"Thankfully I have protection against that." Julio said.

"I activate the effect of Silent Honor ARK! By using two of it's materials I can take one monster you control and attach it to this card as material!" Brutus said and the two overlay units surrounding the ark disappeared allowing it to fie a chain towards Noire.

"I activate my Trap! Power of Shares!" Julio said playing a trap which had a glowing power symbol in the center. "With this card CPU Synchro Monsters are unaffected by my opponent's card effects for this turn. However, as a cost I have to send a monster I control to the grave. I send Maker Ubi."

"I draw." Brutus said and he felt a pulse through his deck as he drew his card which he looked at and gave a small smile causing Julio to tense. "I activate the Spell Card Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One!" He said playing the spell causing a red glow to erupt from it.

"The hell?! I've never heard of that card." Julio said raising a hand to cover his eyes due to how bright the light was which drew the other's attention.

"With this I can target a Number 101 to 107 monster on my field, in my graveyard, or in my Extra Deck and special summon them with their effects negated!" Brutus said causing Julio's eyes to widen.

"What?!" Julio exclaimed.

"I'll special summon Silent Honor ARK!" Brutus said and from a glowing blue portal that came up behind him came the Silent Honor. "Now I can Xyz summon a CXyz monster one rank higher than the specially summoned monster!" The Ark began to glow and Julio noticed the shape in the cockpit move and to his shock a figure shot out and the ark sent out blue lights that connected with the figure. "Insatiable Guardian of the Souls! Become the dark knight and crush the Light!" Brutus said as the figure had arms and legs attached to it and grabbed a large spear which it spun around and landed in front of Brutus. "Number C101: Sielnt Honor DARK!"

"W-What the hell is this?! This monster...I've never even heard of this card!" Julio said in shock.

"I wouldn't expect you too." Brutus said. "My Lady gifted me this card and power however, even then it was difficult to summon it as it resisted against me until I proved myself worthy of it's allegiance." He looked up at the monster and it looked at him giving him a nod which Brutus returned. Julio was surprised at the connection betwen the two. It honestly reminded him of his and Dark's relationship. "Now with his power I shall defeat you!"

"Bring it!" Julio said getting crys of agreement from his Duel Spirits.

"I shall." Brutus said and DARK spun his spear and pointed it at Noire who readied her weapon.

Meanwhile

"I never get tired of seeing him summon that." Doku commented to Vernice. He was sitting in her room watching the duel betwen Brutus and Julio.

"Indeed it's always a spectacle." Vernice said with a smile. "It's power will give Shinku quite some difficulty."

"He's gonna have difficulty with its effect. I still remember my time dueling it and it wasn't fun." Doku said and Vernice simply smiled at the memory.

Back to the Duel

"This monster is very powerful." Vert noted feeling it's aura of power.

"Yeah. Seems like the type of monster you'd expect to be a final boss." Neptune muttered.

"I activate Silent Honor DARK's effect! Once per turn, he can attach a monster you control to him as Xyz Material! Dark Soul Over!" Brutus shouted.

"He doesn't have to detach material this time?" Julio exclaimed as DARK spun his spear and fired a beam that collided with Noire who let out a yell of pain as she was turned into another material for the CXyz.

OVU: 2

"Next I'll have DARK attack Maker IF!" Brutus said and Dark rushed forward ready to slice through the Guild Agent.

"I activate Ego Boost!" Julio said playing the spell causing a green aura to surround IF. "This boosts IF's attack by 1000! Take out that thing!" Julio said and IF nodded as she avoided the spear and sliced into it's chest causing it to explode.

"So, how'd it feel being turned into that crystal?" Neptune asked.

"I don't know how to describe it. It just felt weird is all I can say." Noire answered.

Julio Hand: 5

"All that talk and that was all that monster had." IF said and Brutus simply smirked as a portal opened in front of him and out came the Number shocking them. "What?!"

"When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard while it has material I can special summon it and I can gain life points equal to it's attack!" Brutus said and DARK raised his spear into the air and light came off the spear that bathed over Brutus increasing his life.

Brutus LP: 3350+2800= 6150

"The only thing we did was help him." Blanc said worried as Julio tensed.

"I call hacks! That can't be legit!" Neptune complained.

"When my hand is empty and when you have an even amount of cards in your hand I can activate this trap. You discard half the cards in your hand and I draw the same amount!" Brutus said and Julio scowled. "Now, discard!" Julio looked at his hand and selected three cards and discarded them and to the girl's surprise Noire disappeared as a result.

"All your moves have done nothing but help me." Brutus said causing Julio to growl.

"Um...Can you calm down?" Neptune asked. "Getting angry won't solve anything."

"Tell me something I don't know." Julio said. "I'm just a little pissed that everything I've done so far hasn't done jack shit to assist me and only help him."

"I agree. We're in a bad situation." Vert said. "But you can pull through."

"I activate DARK's effect! Dark Soul Over!" Brutus shouted and DARK fired the beam and Blanc let out a cry of anger as she was taken.

Number C101: Silent Honor DARK
OVU: 1

"Blanc!" Neptune and Compa cried out in fear.

"Silent Honor Dark attack him directly!" Brutus shouted and Julio acted quick.

"Trap activate Counter Gate!" Julio said and the shield blocked the attack. "I negate that attack and draw a card!" Julio said and Julio drew his card. "I drew Maker Compa! Since I drew her outside of my Draw Phase I can special summon her! I'll summon her in defense mode. " Julio said and Compa moved to the field and held her syringe in a defensive manner.

"I activate my Quick-Play Spell Psychic Implosion!" Brutus shouted playing a spell which showed a girl with green skin and a robotic with red wires standing behind a balck and orange ball that looked ready to explode. "With this I target a monster I control and lose life equal to it's attack to double it's attack until the end of the turn! I target Abyss Supra Splash and pay 3000 life points!" Brutus said and a red aura temporarily surrounded him and he gritted his teeth as he paid the life cost while Abyss Supra Splash glowed red as well but his power increased instead.

"Why would he do that?" Neptune asked fear creeping into her voice and Julio looked at Brutus' face down and his eyes widened in fear.

"Trap activate Xyz Meteor!" Brutus shouted playing a trap which showed four meteors flying through space. "With this I target a Xyz Monster I control and it can inflict piercing damage! I target Abyss Supra Splash!" Brutus said and the red aura around it increased in size again and this caused Neptune and Compa's eyes to widen in fear. "Also when I do I draw a card but it won't matter!" Brutus shouted. "Abyss Supra Splash attack Maker Compa!"

"I then activate Abyss Supra Splash's effect! When a battle occurs with an opponent's monster I can remove an Overlay Unit to have my battling monster gain attack equal to my opponent's monster's attack!" Brutus shouted and Abyss Supra Splash raised it's staff into the air and red electricity coerced into it and increased Abyss Supra Splash's attack even further before pointing it's staff at Compa who looked terrified as it fired a giant stream of red energy that engulfed Compa causing her to cry out in pain as she was obliterated by the attack which continued on to Julio.

Number C73: Abyss Supra Splash
ATK: 6000+2000= 8000

"I activate my trap! Taking the Hit!" Julio shouted playing the trap which showed Purple Heart taking an attack for IF and Compa who looked shocked. "When I take battle damage I can send a CPU or Maker card from my hand to the graveyard and cut that damage in half!" Julio said and looked at Neptune who nodded and Julio discarded her card causing Neptune to disappear and an astral image of her to appear and get in front of Julio taking the blast trying to hold it back only to be overwhelmed and for the beam to continue on and engulf Julio who yelled in pain as an explosion occurred filling the air with smoke which eventually cleared and revealing Julio standing in the center of a crater that was rather deep his breathing slow and haggard. His was torn and gone in some places and may as well have been a rag and his shirt wasn't in the best of shape either and then there was the various burns on his body. He then spoke in a shaky voice. "Maker Compa's effect...I'll add Maker IF from my graveyard to my hand." Julio said and the card ejected and he took it before collapsing backwards onto the ground.

"JULIO!" Brutus heard and turned to see the others friends running towards them and immediately the barrier shifted and quickly surrounded only Brutus and Julio cutting the others off before they could get to him. IF reappeared and looked around before noticing Julio was unconscious and quickly floated down to check on the teen.

"You will not interfere." Brutus said coldly.

"He's damn near dead!" Dan shouted.

"And he knew the price of helping the CPUs." Brutus shot back coldly. "You are our enemy and we have a goal we must achieve and we don't care if we have to kill our enemies to do so."

"Julio!" IF said in worry as she began to check him. He was barely breathing and he seemed to be in a lot of pain and IF looked around for Compa but she realized that everyone else was gone. "W-What do I do?!" She exclaimed in panic as she noticed Julio was starting to slow down in breathing.

Julio's POV

Everything hurts...I can barely breathe and I feel so weak...A-Am I going to die?

Without help you will.

...Zarc?

It appears you are in need of assistance.

One way to put it.

I can take over for now if you want.

Why are you helping me?

I need you. I can't have you dying on me right now.

What for?

You'll find out eventually but not now.

Don't like the sound of that.

Now would you like me to take over willingly or do I have to force it?

...I'm making a deal with the devil aren't I?

Yes you are. Now decide.

...Fine...I don't like it but I don't want to die here.

Smart decision. Don't worry once you've recovered enough I'll let you take back over.

3rd Person

"Huh?" IF asked as she noticed Julio shift and sit up his eyes closed. "J-Julio?" Julio simply stood up and rolled his shoulders and let out a sigh as he opened his now red glowing eyes tat met Brutus' shocking him. At this Dan and Lisa let out cries of pain and fell against the dome using it to keep them standing as their heads began to hurt badly.

"Lisa?" Kila exclaimed and checked on the girl.

"Dan!" Hazel said and caught Dan who almost fell.

Meanwhile

"Gah! The hell?" Doku gasped out as he held his head which felt like it was splitting open and Vernice narrowed her eyes.

"So he comes." She said focusing on the screen.

Back to the Duel

"Continue your turn." Julio said coldly to Brutus who got over his shock.

"I draw a card due to Xyz Meteor's effect!" Brutus said drawing his card.

Brutus Hand: 1

"Next I activate Xyz Treasure!" Brutus said playing his card which had a sunk ship with multiple glowing gems.. "With this I draw a card for every Xyz Monster on the field. There's two so I draw two cards!" Brutus said drawing two and looked at the card. "I set them and end my turn." Brutus said staring down Julio who was giving him a cold smile.

Xyz Treasure
Spell/Normal

"At this moment the additional effect of Take the Hit! activates! I can special summon a CPU or Maker monster with the same level as the discarded monster from my deck with it's effects negate!. I'll special summon Maker Valve!" Julio said and Valve appeared.

Maker Valve
ATK: 1800 DEF: 1200
Level: 4 Dark
Warrior/Effect

SC: 2

"Julio?" Kila called out. "What's happ-"

"Silence!" Julio snapped glaring at her causing her to stumble back in fear and outright terrifying Rom and Ram causing them to cling to each other. Nepgear and Uni were shocked as well as Hazel. Dan and Lisa were beginning to feel the headache going and looked up to see Julio's cold glare which sent fear running through them. Valve was shocked at the change in behavior since during the time she's been with him he'd been nice if a bit temperamental at times. IF looked at Julio in bewilderment and shock as he glared at his friends. He glared at them for a few more seconds before glancing at IF who looked scared but didn't back away looking him dead in the eyes. This continued before he smirked. "Someone has spirit...Very well. Lend me your assistance in defeating this roach should I need it but I doubt it despite the plan he originally had."

"Julio mentioned yesterday about another voice speaking in his head that night against Mason. I'm guessing you're him?" IF asked shoving down her unease.

"Indeed. The name's Zarc." Zarc said before turning to Brutus a sadistic smile returning to his face. "Now...Time for me to have some fun!" Zarc said with a grin as a black aura surrounded him.

Julio LP: 425 Hand: 3+1 Set: 1

Turn 15
Julio's turn

"I draw!" Zarc said drawing his card and grinning. "I now summon Dark Blade!" Zarc said summoning Dark Blade who appeared. "With these two monsters I build the Overlay Network!" Zarc said and the two monsters turned into purple streak of lights that shot into the portal that opened in front of him. "Formed from the pitch-black darkness, to crush those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now descend!" Zarc chanted as the portal exploded with light. "I Xyz Summon! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Zarc said and Dark appeared from the portal letting out a furious roar that shook the ground.

Julio Hand: 3

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon
ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000

"He's summoned it." Brutus said.

"Indeed I have. Now let the true duel begin." Zarc said and Dark roared in agreement as it stared down Brutus' monsters almost hungrily.

AN: Really glad I decided on making this a two parter because if I made this all one chapter it'd be much longer. Anyways, that was the chapter and it got pretty rough towards the end for Julio huh? Near death and having no choice but to let Zarc take control. Speaking of that that's gonna be fun to write the next chapter. Also, in regards to Lisa's part of the duel I debated summoning Brave-Eyes there but decided against it since it'd be better to have it appear in a full duel. Also, I know Hazel's win wasn't as good as the others but right now there isn't much I can do with her deck which I will discuss next chapter(More on this later).

Nothing else to say here, so let's get to the reviews.

Fireking492: Thanks for the review and glad you liked it. Well I just thought of some talents that I always find nice and cooking was one of them. Well I wouldn't say he was particularly brutal here but some will probably think damn near killing your opponent constitutes as brutal. Glad you can understand how difficult it can be.

Kamencolin: Thanks for the review. Glad you enjoyed the chapter and don't worry I don't mind them too much because it shows me you're interested in my story which in turn makes me happy.

MaxGundam1998: Already answered you in a PM and thanks for the review.

keybladelight: Thanks for the review. You'll see what happens with the Gods and Jason when we get there and we are quite a while from that.

Guest: Thanks for the review. I have the NEXT forms planned out don't worry. I have plans for Adult Neptune so don't worry about her. Trust me when they meet Iris Heart it's gonna be quite traumatic for them and as for Peashy...Yeah that's gonna be something to write. Uzume is gonna be fun. I'm not sure what I'll do but I just know it's gonna be fun.

Guest Spirit: Thanks for the review.

1. Thanks for the corrections. I'll be sure to make edits later down the line.

2. Thanks for the new chants. Gonna have to Grim Requiem's first appearance with this chant.

3. Sure. I don;t plan on making any level three Xyz so it doesn't effect anything.

4. Good to know. I really wasn't sure about that.

5. Thanks for the PSCTs and the edit.

6. Thanks for the custom cards. I think they're fine. They have good costs and aren't really overpowered either.

Alright that's it for the reviews so let's get to the new cards.

Power of Shares

Tribute a CPU or Maker monster you control: This turn CPU Synchro Monsters you control are unaffected by my opponent's card effects.

CPU Medic
Trap/Normal

When a CPU or Maker monster you control is destroyed by battle you can activate this trap and make the battle damage from that battle zero and gain life points equal to half of the original ATK of the destroyed monster. (Special thanks to Guest Spirit for creating this card.)

CPU's Might
Spell/Quick-Play

Target one CPU monster you control: Increase it's ATK by 1000 until the end of this turn also if the targeted monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle that monster is banished instead.

Taking the Hit!
Trap/Normal

When you would take battle damage involving a CPU or Maker monster you can discard 1 CPU or Maker monster from your hand and halve the battle damage. During the End Phase of the turn you activated this card you can Special Summon from your deck a CPU or Maker monster with an equal level to that monster but it's effects are negated.

Also this card actually appeared in the manga but I made some edits so it's not as OP.

Xyz Treasure Ticket

Spell/Normal

Tribute one Rank four or lower Xyz Monster you control: Draw cards equal to that monster's Rank. You can only special summon Xyz Monsters from the Extra Deck this turn.

What do you think? Think these cards could use a bit more or less? Be sure to let me know in a review.

Now in regards to what I said regarding Hazel next chapter I will be going into my plans for next season and how I want to improve this story. I won't spoil anything involving the plot. Just addressing some stuff.

Also I'll go into more detail about why Julio wasn't aware of Silent Honor DARK's existence along with the other Barian cards next chapter.

Got nothing else to say so let's get to the review thing.

Please leave a review or PM with you're thoughts, ideas, and favorite parts. If you have any deck suggestions that I should use in this story feel free to suggest it. Custom card ideas are also welcome and so are OCs. Any constructive criticism is appreciated but flames are not.
