Turn 6 Yuma
"Yes, I know! I will show you how it feels to high five the sky!" Yuma shouted as his duel gazer glowed. "I DRAW!" He glanced at the card he had just drawn. Hyper Quick…
"Get ready Zarc because I'm-" Yuma declared but Zarc shouted. "STOP RIGHT THERE YOU'LL BE DOING NOTHING! I PLAY MY TRAP SUPREME DISDAIN!"
"Not good, that's the same card he used to shatter my strategy from the start!" Said the Professor, remembering that card with anger.
"DING! DING! DING! Once again points to the bald headed dummy! For every Supreme King in my field I'm able to destroy one card in your hand for a total of six cards meaning your entire hand!"
"No! It means Yuma's going to have to discard his whole hand!" Kite exclaimed.
Yuma's eyes widened in horror when he saw his cards flew away from his hand. "Oh No…!"
"Let me see what you have!" Zarc then sees the cards. "Ahha! You have both Gagaga Magician and Girl judging by this hand you were planning to Xyz summon it looks like your turns ended before it even began and that's terrible! Because every card I destroy you'll take 300 points of damage!"
Yuma's cards were blasted away by Zarc's red lightning as the heroes screamed from the deadly blast attack. "GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" The evil electricity arched through their bodies; their hearts felt like stopping, their blood vessels seemed to explode in agony… Yusei's Duel Runner crashed into the ground; Yusei and Jaden were both thrown off their seats.
Legendary Duelists 2900 LP-1500=1100LP
"That's right, scream! Scream that every bone in your body can no longer work! And with an entire hand gone all you can do now is end your turn and face your inevitable demise!" Zarc said with a sinister smirk.
"Never we're far from finished!" Yusei said, trying to fight off the pain. Zarc raised an eyebrow. "You should know when to give up, Fudo Yusei!" he snarled when he saw Yusei reaching for his Duel Disk, which was now on the ground next to him. " Yuma doesn't have anything else on his hand; it's no different from having no way to play!"
"I activate my already Set Trap Card: Hope for Escape!" Yusei, finally managing to put his Duel Disk back on his wrist and stand up, said.
"When our Life Point is lower than you, we can pay 1000 Life Points to draw one card for each 1000 points of difference! And since this is still his Draw Phase, you cannot use your ability to destroy the cards drawn by this effect!"
Legendary Duelists 1100-1000=100
4000 Life Points… meaning… 4 cards…!
"Yes!" Yuma also said, raising his hand. "And when you send Hyper Quick to the Graveyard, its effect also activates! I can draw one card, and if it is a Spell Card, I can treat it as a Quick-play Spell Card!"
"Good!" Reiji's eyes brightened. "With these two effects, he basically recovered all the cards Zarc sent to the Graveyard! They still have a chance!"
Yuma then said to his partner. "Hey Astral, are you ready to feel the flow one final time?" Astral smiled at his friend. "Always my friend, I'm ready to high five the sky!"
Then Yuma and Astral started glowing. One shone with a brilliant blue light, and the other with a vibrant red light. They started flying towards each other, just like two Overlay Units in an Xyz Summon.
"When two distant souls become one the power of Zexal is revealed! GO Zexal Morph!" Yuma and Astral chanted as Yuma had changed he wasn't wearing the same clothes he had been wearing before anymore; his outfit had turned into a golden and white armour with a green symbol on the chest and white wings behind him his hair became more defined and luminous with hetero-chromatic gold and orange eyes. Their D-Pad is also gold colored and shaped like an X.
Yuma's hand started glowing as he and Astral chanted together. "A truly powerful can reshape the flow of this duel; he can even generate the very cards he needs!" As Yuma draws five new cards through the effects of Hope for Escape and Shining Draw. "GO! SHINING DRAW!"
The card drew an arc of light in the air. Yuma glanced at it, and smiled at the five new cards he had collected. "Nice! Here we go! I Summon Gagaga Mancer!"
Gagaga Mancer LV: 4 ATK: 100 DEF: 100 Affinity: Dark
And when she is Summoned, I can target one Gagaga monster in my Graveyard and Special Summon it! And I choose the card you have just sent to the Graveyard: Gagaga Magician!"
Gagaga Magician LV ATK: 1500 DEF: 1000 AFFINITY: Dark
"Two Level 4 monsters on the field…" Shay's eyes narrowed. "That means…"
"I overlay Gagaga Mancer with Gagaga Magician and build the Overlay Network!" Both of Yuma's monsters turned into purple lights and flew into the galaxy forming in the middle of the field. Then, a blast of light exploded from inside the heart of the mini galaxy. "Rise on up Number 39 Utopia!"
Something that looked like a sword appeared from it. It unfolded, and in a loud cry, the complete form of Number 39: Utopia appeared on the field. He swung his sword, pointing it toward Zarc like a declaration of war.
Number 39: Utopia ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Rank 4 Affinity: Light
"But if he uses an Xyz Summon, Zarc will!" Kite muttered in worry.
"I activate Rank-Up-Magic Numeron Force! I rebuild the overlay network with Utopia! Let's go!" Utopia flew into the galaxy that was created to be reborn anew.
"Chaos Xyz evolution! Appear Chaos number 39 Utopia ray victory!"
Before the surprise look of everyone, Utopia started transforming. His body glowed, and armour pieces started appearing from thin air to replace the old one.
Piece after piece flew into their place on the warrior's body, giving him a new armour much more powerful than his original one. And the most prominent feature on his body was that now he had four arms instead of two. With the last flash of light, the advanced form of Utopia arrived on the field.
Number C39 Utopia ray victory
(2800/2000)
"Hah! You haven't learned a single thing since the start of this have you Yuma?" Zarc hollered. "Chaos Xyz or whatever you call it, is still just Xyz Summon! And when you perform an Xyz Summon, I will also Overlay my two Darkwurms into a greater being!"
The two servant dragons also started glowing purple. They turned into balls of purple light and flew into the black galaxy forming on Zarc's field.
"Now come to me! Supreme King Dragon Dark Rebellion!"
SKD Dark Rebellion ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Affinity: Dark
"Yuto's dragon again…" Shay gritted his teeth when the black dragon appeared on the field with a roar.
"That won't stop me!" Yuma declared confidently. "Utopia Ray Victory, attack SKD Dark Rebellion! And right at this moment, I activate Utopia Ray Victory's special ability! By using one Overlay Unit, I negate all of Dark Rebellion's effects and add its ATK to Victory's ATK!"
"Hah pitiful! You really have learnt nothing from your buddies!" Zarc snorted. "Everything depends on when you use your effect! I will activate Dark Rebellion's effect in response to your Utopia Ray Victory's! I will use one Overlay Unit to change your Utopia's ATK to 0 and gain its ATK for my own! It will resolve before your monster effect can!"
"That's not good!" Sylvio exclaimed. "Then both of those monsters' ATK will be the same! With that Supreme King Dance on the field, only Utopia Ray Victory will be destroyed in the battle!"
But to Zarc's horror, Dark Rebellion remained still in his field. "What the…?! Why didn't it…?!"
"You didn't pay attention, did you?" Yuma grinned with a finger wave. "After Rank-Up-Magic Numeron Force is played, all face-up cards on the field have their effects negated! And just like you said, everything depends on when you use your effect! Since you chained your summon into the activation of Numeron Force, Dark Rebellion got to the field before the effect resolves; that's why its effect also got negated!"
"HOW DARE YOU!" Zarc couldn't do anything but seething in anger.
"And because of Numeron Force's power, the effects of both your Supreme King Gates are also negated!" Yuma pumped his fist triumphantly.
"Now you see that, Zarc? You keep telling us that we don't have any hope against you, but if that is true, we have managed to do the impossible! We will show you, even when there is only darkness around, just a glimpse of hope is more than enough to light the way for us! What you must do is believe in yourself, in everyone around you! rising sun double victory slash!"
The four arms of Utopia Ray Victory brandished their swords, and the warrior rushed towards the black dragon, who blasted a wave of energy at him in retaliation. But the Number monster pushed through, and with four slashes, the dragon was turned into a bunch of mince meat. A deafening explosion ensued.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Zarc screamed when he felt the pain piercing his body. He slumped down on his dragon body, sweat rolling down his cheeks, beads by beads. This was the first time… The FIRST time in his life since he acquired the godly power, that he was humiliated like this….
Zarc: 4100-2800 =1300 LP
Yuya like Yuto and Yugo found himself chained up and trapped in some sort of void.
He blinked. Now he remembered. He was fighting Yuri, and despite managing to beat the sadist, he was still forced to absorb the Fusion user into him, and after that…
Ah, right. He had become Zarc. The Dimension Destroyer. Now, nothing can stop Zarc from destroying everything… again…
He doesn't want that. There is no way he could want something like that to happen. But what choice does he have? Zarc was, after all, the most powerful force of the universe now. Nothing could stand a chance against him… Not to mention, he is Zarc. If Zarc somehow was defeated, it would be the end of him too.
But considering what was happening out there, it might be better if he was erased.
He still remembered what happened in his duel with Yuri. He had completely lost his mind when the four dragons were summoned to the field. And the point where he lost all his hope was exactly the time when he won the duel.
After all he didn't exist his memories, his life, even his own name was nothing, he was just Zarc in this world; there is only Zarc, the destroyer of worlds and he is just a piece of Zarc, nothing more, nothing less…
"…What you must do is believe in yourself, in everyone around you! You do exist, your friends are proof of that!"
He blinked. Believe in yourself…
"I think I'll wrap this up by playing Monster Reborn! And with Elemental Hero Neos returns to the fight."
On cue Elemental hero Neos returned to the field in defence mode.
"Thanks Yuma." Jaden said while giving a thumbs up as Yuma chuckled and said. No problem! There is no way I can leave your ace monster dead in the Graveyard forever-"
Until Zarc shrieked with fury. "ENOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!"
Everyone was startled when they heard the ear-piercing scream coming from Zarc. No one could ever imagine him screaming like that.
Yubel then said as she folded his arms. "Seems like we broke him!" Astral shook his head. "No, I fear we have only forced him to become enraged."
Zarc unable to control look of furious anger and then said. "I activate the trap Supreme Rage since you had the absolute gull to deal me more than 2000 life points. I can summon all of my four dragons back to this battle!"
"That's just absurd!" Yusei protested. "You can't just-" "There is nothing I cannot do!" Zarc laughed cruelly. "Now, prepare to face despair! For the return of my four mighty dragons AHAHAHAHAH!"
To everyone's horror, the Supreme King Dragons started appearing on Zarc's field one by one. "Return Supreme King Dragon Odd Eyes!, Supreme King Dragon Clearwing! Supreme King Dark Rebellion and lastly Supreme King Starving Venom!"
"Not good no matter what we threw at him he just threw it all back ten times!" Jaden cursed. "How are we supposed to deal with something like this?" Yusei also gritted his teeth. But contrary to everyone's fear, Yuma's face was just as calm as ever.
"And what are you smiling at Tsukumo? " Asked Zarc arrogantly as Yuma said back. "When times are rough like this one all you just gotta Feel the Flow! A great man taught me that and I never let go of that!" Remembering the words of what his father Kazuma Tsukumo said to him when he was a boy.
Zarc scoffed at the silly ideal. "Family bonds are such a weakness even when the odds are in MY favour but since you went and humiliated me I will give you all the most painful death as possible!" He draws his card vowing to make this the last duel they had.
Turn 7 Zarc
"Now let's give you a taste of your medicine with your monster Yuma! Starving Venom use your special ability leach Utopia Ray Victory and take all his abilities!" Yuma's eyes widened when the jaws full of disgusting pointy fangs on the plant dragon's chest burst out and bit down on Utopia Ray Victory, draining him of his colour. "Utopia!"
"And when Starving Venom is on the field, all of my monsters can inflict piercing damage! Any final words so I can write on your tombstones?!" The four heroes could only grit their teeth.
"Very well the silent treatment it is then even legendary fools like you can only do that much against me SKD Clearwing destroy Utopia Ray Victory!"
Upon Zarc's command, the white dragon rushed forward at the direction of the warrior, who was struggling helplessly in the maw of Starving Venom.
"Now, Clear Wing's ability activities! The battle is stopped, and your Utopia is destroyed! Take 2800 points of damage and be gone!" The dragon stopped in midair, and from the clear, sickly green pair of wings, light beams burst out, aiming at Utopia. Being restrained in the maw of the poison dragon, there was no way he could escape…
"I activate the trap Xyz Revenge Shuffle! The moment my monster's targeted I can return him back to the Extra Deck and Special Summon another Xyz Monster from the Graveyard, then attach this card to it as an Overlay Unit! So welcome back Number 39: Utopia."
To Zarc's surprise, Utopia Ray Victory disappeared in a shower of light. The beams just passed through it harmlessly and exploded somewhere behind the horizon. And, the light glittered gathered together, revealing the original Utopia on the field, swinging his sword proudly.
"Nice work!" Praised Atem to Yuma who gave a thumbs up. "Clear Wing cannot use its destruction ability anymore!"
Zarc then growled. "Let's see you smiling after this…SKD Odd-Eyes, attack Stardust Dragon! And with SKD Odd Eyes's ability any damage you take is doubled!"
"Don't think so! I play my trap Scrap-Iron Scarecrow! I negate your attack and set it back on the field!"
The scarecrow made of junk once again flew out of its card, and Odd-Eyes slammed its head painfully on it and was thrown backward onto the ground. Zarc screamed in impatience and in anger.
"Quit slowing down your inevitable defeat! Preventing it won't change the course of action so knock it off right now! Starving Venom, attack Dark Magician! And thanks to your Utopia's effect, you won't be able to activate any Spell or Trap Card!"
The purple corrupt plant charged at Dark Magician as Yuma shouted. "Because no one's losing their here today Zarc! I activate the special ability of Beacon Saviour by banishing it from the Graveyard your attack is stopped!"
In front of Dark Magician, a holographic image of a pig skeleton appeared and took the whole brunt of the attack, saving the spellcaster from being mowed down by the slimy vines coming from the dragon.
"You are too stubborn for your own good, Yuma Tsukumo!" Zarc snarled as his mind once patience and cold had been replaced with anger and insanity. "Dark Rebellion, attack Neos! And with Dark Rebellion's power, by using one Overlay Unit, Neos' attack dropped to 0 and added that to Dark Rebellion's! So you're taking 3000 points of piercing damage and you'll like it!"
"No we won't! Because from my hand I activate Rainbow Kuriboh's special ability! When my opponent declares an attack, I can equip it to your monster and stop the battle!"
Zarc screamed hysterically when the little ball which was Rainbow Kuriboh appeared on top of the black dragon's head and grabbed it, directing the beam of energy coming from its mouth to the sky.
"YYYYUUUUMMMMMMAAAA! WHY!? WHY DO YOU KEEP HINDERING ME, AT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY WHY ARE YOU SO DETERMINED TO PROTECT THOSE WORTHLESS MONSTERS!?"
"Because unlike you Zarc they're more human than you'll ever be!" The four heroes turned. The Lancers had all arrived at the battlefield on their monsters, and it was Reiji who had said those words.
"You say you're a Dueltainer and hold the power to do it in your hand, yet everything you did in the past was succumbing to the lust of violent people and trying to destroy everything!" The leader of the Lancers said. "But they are different; they choose to use their power for protecting others and their closest friends, and that's why they are stronger than you!"
Jack nodded. "Yeah the only true Dueltainer here is Yuya Sakaki would never do anything like you did!"
Crow nodded and said. "That's right and I don't remember Yuya, Yugo, or even Yuri to be such a coward and selfish person as you are!"
Kite shouted. "That's right! And Yuto is always a nice person; he always wants to make people smile, even in wars! How can people like them be parts of some cowardly snake like you!"
Zarc growled as he shouted at the Lancers and their allies as his eyes went blood red. "THAT'S ENOUGH! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU UNTIL YOU ACCEPT THIS?! THERE IS NO YUYA SAKAKI HE AND THE OTHER THREE HAVE BEEN MY PAWNS TO RESURRECT ME YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT FELT TO BE TRAPPED BETWEEN THE LIVING AND THE DEAD HAVING YOUR EXISTENCE BEING FORGOTTEN BY THE WORLD HAVING YOUR DESIRES OF BRUTAL DUELS TO KEEP YOU ALIVE IN THAT DEAD WORLD?! I HAVE WAITED A LONG TIME TO FALL HERE NOT NOW NOT EVER NOTHING WILL STOP FROM ACHIEVING MY ULTIMATE VICTORY THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL SMILE IS ME! "
Zarc as his monster's eyes glowed blood red as he shouted. "I WILL PROVE IT BY HAVING MY SELF DESTROY DARK MAGICIAN PERISH!"
The beam of golden energy once again shot at Dark Magician, and it seemed this time there was nothing that could stop it anymore. An explosion shook the whole battlefield.
"Finally!" Zarc laughed triumphantly. "I have WON! Me! I have finally defeated those-HUH?!"
"When my hands empty Tasuke Knight's special ability activities from my graveyard!" The voice of Yuma said. "I can Special Summon it from the field, and then end your attack phase."
"I but you, why how?!" For once Zarc was speechless as Jaden chuckled and said. "Actually, we have to thank you for this one, Zarc; if you didn't send all of Yuma's hand to the Graveyard at the start of his turn none of this wouldn't have your MVP here!"
Atem then shouted as he pointed to the demon. "Hear me Yuya Sakaki, Yuto, Yugo and even you Yuri I may not know your origins but what I do is that you're somewhere inside your not Zarc all four of you are your people with your dreams and you are still fighting him from the inside! But you have to believe in yourself; you are you, not a part of Zarc, not a part of anyone else in this universe! You have every right to exist. The only one who doesn't deserve to exist is Zarc so lend us your aid and help us rid the timeline of this fiend."
Zarc growled at Atem wanting to tell him the truth until. "Yuya!" Everyone's heads snapped towards the direction of the voice. It came from Riley, but the voice… it wasn't that of the little girl, but of someone else… the voice of Zuzu boyle.
"Remember the times we were together, Yuya?" the spirit of Zuzu inside of Riley said. "You are always the Dueltainer who strives to bring smiles to everyone. You never give up, never lose yourself to despair; your smile was the very thing which gave me hope when I was sent across the four dimensions. So… Come back to us all, and return to all of us."
Suddenly Zarc let out a howl of pain. The scream was so terrifying, more terrifying than what he had let out from before, but it wasn't out of rage or anything like that. It was more like…Fear.
"Look!" Gong pointed up as he could see the spirits of Yuto and Yugo holding Zarc still as his face started changing. The right half of the face was still Zarc's, with his eerie golden eye, but the left half, which was furiously morphing and twisting, had another eye… the red eye that of course belonged to Yuya.
"NO! YOU DON'T EXIST YOUR ME GO BACK TO BEING NON EXISTENT ALL OF YOU!" Shirked Zarc who was in pain. "We won't let you hurt them anymore!" Yuya said.
"That's Yuya's voice!" Jack exclaimed excitedly. "He's still fighting!"
Riley then sees her deck as she pulls out four bracelets cards, the original cards that had beaten Zarc a long time ago.
"Wha…?" Leo's eyes widened. "What's happening to them…?"
Then with a flash of light, the four cards disappeared. At the same time, four silver bracelets with different color gems appeared on Riley's arm. They were all glowing in the same bright light.
"The bracelets are speaking with me…" The girl mused. Then her eyes widened. "Legendary duelists! If you can somehow destroy those dragons…I think I can use the power of these bracelets to pull Yuya and the others out of Zarc!"
"That's exactly what I'm going to do during this turn." Atem said as he stood forward to prove why he was not just the Pharaoh who had ruled over Ancient Egypt but also the King of Games as he yelled.
"I draw!"
Turn 8 Atem
He then looks at the card as Atem smiles at it. "What did I tell ya Yugi that this card is going to be useful someday." Yugi nodded with a smile. "Yeah. After all, there isn't any useless card in our deck, right?"
Before returning to the battle "To start off my turn I tribute Tasuke Knight to summon the Archfiend of Gilfer!"
Tasuke knight became a new monster that was Atem's appeared on the field.
Archfiend of Gilfer LV: 6 ATK: 2200 DEF: 2500
"I know what that card does!" Sylvio shouted knowing what the Phorah's plan was.
"F-Fool!" Despite writhing in pain, Zarc still sneered. "What can you do with this pathetic card? It's too weak."
"True but even the weakest have a strong power. Let me show by planning the trap Yusei had placed down it's known as panic wave!" The trap card becomes face up to prove his point. "With this card, I destroy Archfiend of Gilfer to negate the effect of all face-up monsters, Spells and Traps on the field during this turn!"
Zarc's eyes widened. "What?!" To his shock, all of his dragons and his Supreme King Face off started turning gray, signalling their loss of effect. And Zarc was terrified when he suddenly saw Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom's ATK dropping to 2000.
"What is happening to my dragon?" he demanded in shock, and Atem smirked. "That's the ability of Gilfer it attaches itself to a monster and drains it attack points d it will lose 500 ATK! Now any monster on my field can defeat it!"
"Even if you do succeed" Zarc breathed out, "My precious Supreme King Gates are still not Spells or Traps! Their effects aren't negated!"
"Ah, that's true. But they can now be destroyed." Zarc's spine went stiff. "What…"
"Now, from my hand, I activate my Spell Card, Dark Magic Attack! When Dark Magician is on the field, all Spell and Trap Cards on your field would be destroyed!"
Dark Magician raised his sceptre. At the tip of the staff, a sphere of black energy formed, and with a yell, the sphere was sent at Zarc and exploded, blasting away Supreme Face off with Zarc's two Pendulum Scales.
"Now they can finally take away Zarc's Life Point!" Edo cheered.
Atem then declared. "I'm not finished yet! Now, from my hand, I activate Dark Magic Curtain! With this card, I can pay half of our Life Point to bring out Dark Magician Girl from my deck! Come to the field, Dark Magician Girl!"
In a gust of wind, a creepy-looking curtain dropped down on the heroes' field. It opened, and from the inside, Dark Magician Girl flew out in all her glory. Before landing on her two feet.
Dark Magician Girl LV: 6 ATK: 2000 DEF: 1700 Affinity: Dark
"Oh my goodness! That dragon's even bigger than the last Dragon we battled!" Dark Magician Girl stated as her master then said. "That's correct my pupil but as long as we stand together we shall vanquish this great evil!" DMG nodded and said. "Right!"
"And with the arrival of Dark Magician Girl I now can activate the Magic Card, Dark Magic Twin Burst!" As Atem placed the card into his duel disk. "Dark Magician will gain the ATK of Dark Magician Girl!"
"So that means… 4500 ATK!" Sora cheered. "More than enough to destroy Supreme King Z-ARC!"
"Now, battle! It's time for us to bring down Zarc, together!" Declared Atem as he looks at Jaden. "Take the lead Jaden."
"You got it!" Said Jaden as he then said to his monster. "Okay Neos let's go attack Starving Venom! Wrath of Neos!"
The Normal HERO Monster roared a battle cry, and jumped into the sky. His hand glowing, he slammed into the corrupted dragon and delivered a chop at its head. The sharpened hand slashed through the dragon's body, splitting it cleanly in half.
"AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHH!" Zarc screamed in pain, and at the same time, the bracelet corresponding to the En Moon card, Celina's bracelet, started glowing brightly.
Zarc: 1300 LP-200=1100
"Wh…What… NO! NOT AGAIN NOT NOW!" Zarc shrieked in horror when his own body also started glowing. The two sources of light resonated with each other, both getting brighter and brighter, until the light covered the whole battlefield. Inside the light, Zarc let out a blood-curdling howl.
As it reverted back into none other Yuri as the other Lancers had entered a battle stance in case he was hostile but yet Yuri ignored them and didn't seem to pay attention to any one of them. He just looked at his hands, seemingly couldn't believe that he was revived.
"We'll worry about that guy later, not when Zarc's defeat is within reach!" Kite said.
Back on the battlefield Zarc snarled and said. "Big whoop too bad that's all you're able to do." Atem however smirked and said. "Oh really?"
To Zarc's horror Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing's was next to get its ATK lowered. "What…? But… HOW?!"
"You were right when you said that Archfiend of Gilfer wasn't on the field anymore," Atem said with a smile. "When the monster it equips itself to is destroyed, it is also destroyed together with it. But when it is destroyed…"
"It can reequip itself to another monster on the field!" Sylvio's right fist punched his left palm. "So, as long as there is a monster on Zarc's field, all of Zarc's monsters are going to have their ATK reduced!"
Everyone looked at Sylvio. He scowled. "What? At least I can still remember the basics!"
"That's correct, now Yusei it's your turn to get into the action!" Atem declared as Yusei nodded. "Stardust Dragon, attack Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing! With Shooting Sonic!"
The Signer mark on Yusei's arm glowed brightly, and the beam of light once again shot out from the Signer Dragon's maw toward the weakened Clear Wing. This time, it connected, and the corrupted dragon was blasted into particles of light and disappeared.
Zarc- 1300-500=800
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Zarc howled again when lightning pierced through his body with the dragon's destruction, and this time, Rin's bracelet was the one to glow. With another flash, the one who appeared on the battlefield this time was…
"YUGO!" Kite and Aster exclaimed in joy "Wh…What's going on…" the newly appeared boy groaned, holding his head. "I just remember I was absorbed by that snake and-"
You really were absorbed," Leo answered him. "But thanks to the work of those heroes over there, you were rescued."
"Wait your-" Yugo said right as Reji then said. "Yes, the professor but right now, things like that aren't important anymore. Right now, everyone's hearts only focus on one thing: defeating Zarc once and for all. And it seems we are about to do it, with the help of those legendary heroes from the past."
He pointed at the battlefield, and Yugo marvelled when he saw the form of Stardust Dragon. "Wow awesome!"
"My turn now!" Yuma said eager to go next as Atem chuckled and said. "By all means Yuma you to Astral."
Yuma and Astral then shouted in unison. "Go Utopia! Attack Supreme King Dragon Dark Rebellion! With Rising Sun Slash!"
Much like the others, the attack points of SKF Dark Rebellion was reduced to 2000 by the effect of Gilfer right at the time Utopia leaped at it, brandishing his sword. The sword started glowing with a golden light, and with a downward slash, the black dragon was also cut down.
Zarc: 1100-1000=100
"NO! THIS CANNOT BE!" Zarc screamed when the third bracelet, which belonged to Lulu, began glowing. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!"
"Yes, we can! And we are going to do it, right now!" Riley, or more exactly, Ray in her body, said, raising her arm high. "We are not going to allow you to harm people anymore, Zarc!"
The bright light engulfed the field again. "Huh? Where am I?" Yuto groaned when he could finally open his eyes again. Answering him was Shun, who was giving him his hand.
"Welcome back, Yuto." The boy smiled, and grabbed the hand sticking out for him. "Guess that's what I get for being on the sidelines for a while." Shay chuckled at the joke as Gong said. "There's only Yuya left!"
"But wait… if Yugi destroys Odd-Eyes with his Dark Magician right now to rescue Yuya, isn't Zarc still alive?" questioned Sora. "That means we still couldn't defeat him completely!"
"Yes, yes! That's right!" Zarc howled, clutching at his final bit of hope. "If you cannot destroy me, I will never be defeated! I'll come back, stronger than ever, and next time, no one of you, even you heroes from the past, would be unable to defeat me EVER again! HAHAHAHA!"
Atem however was unfazed and said to him. "You won't be hurting anyone no matter where or when they're from." Zarc had a weak chuckle but said. "You can't save Yuya, you'll erase him if you take him with me if you attack with your precious magician."
"No I won't because Dark Magician Girl is the one who'll be attacking your SKD Odd Eyes." "WHAT?!" Everyone, even Zarc shouted in shock had he lost his mind?!
Dark Magician Girl nodded to her Pharaoh knowing what she was doing as the only who didn't seem shocked was Atem and Yusei right.
"Yusei, do you think it's time to activate the final Trap Card?" The Signer answered him also with a smile. "I play the trap Enduring Soul! If a face-up monster on our field in Attack Mode would be destroyed by battle, it won't be destroyed, but it will lose 800 ATK!"
"So…" said Gong said knowing what the plan was. "Dark Magician Girl will be able to destroy Odd-Eyes…"
"While not being destroyed in the process…" continued Aster.
"And Yugi-san would still have Dark Magician left to destroy Zarc once and for all!" Reiji finished. "We are going to be saved!"
"Go Dark Magician Girl!" As she charged up the attack with her the young girl then shouted ready to unleash her attack. "Dark Burning Attack!"
At the same time, Archfiend of Gilfer's spirit grabbed Supreme King Dragon Odd-Eyes from behind, decreasing its ATK. And with a spirited cry, the sphere of pink and purple magic from Dark Magician Girl's weapon shot forward, obliterating the weakened dragon.
"GAHH!" Shrieked Zarc as he slammed into the ground very hard.
On cue the last bracelet Zuzu's bracelet – on Riley's arm started shining.
"Yuya!" called Crow. "Come back to us, Yuya!" Shay yelled, pumping his fist to the sky. "Everyone is waiting for you, buddy!" Gong also shouted. "YUYA!"
And with that the soul of Yuya finally left Zarc's body as Yuya had regained his own body as Yuya opened his eyes and smiled at his friends.
"Thank you everyone!" His friends cheered as did Yugo and Yuto, happy for him. "Everyone! Look at Zarc!" The shout of Sora pulled everyone back to the problem at hand.
Zarc didn't look like Yuya anymore. In fact, it didn't look like he even had a body anymore. Right now, he was just a black, smoky humanoid figure attached to the head of Supreme King Z-ARC, which was roaring and thrashing around in pain.
"So that is the true form of Zarc…" Reiji mused. "If we destroy this, Zarc won't be able to return, ever again!"
"NO You can't do this! You can't do this to me! I am Zarc! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO VANQUISH ME! I have the right to be restored in the timelines!!"
"You still don't get it, do you?" This time, it was Yuya who stepped up. "No matter how powerful you are, this world doesn't need you. No one needs someone who considers mindless destruction as your so-called 'Dueltainment', and they sure don't need someone who thinks of that idea with a selfish and cowardly mind like you!"
Atem nodded in agreement. "A subject we both agree on now, finish this once and for all Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl!" Atem yelled.
"NO... I WANT…..TO EXIST!"
Zarc's black substance shrieked in pain and also anger as his dragon form formed a fist hoping to crush the heroes desperate to cling to any sort of existence he had remaining a soul, a vessel anything to claim his fading power.
"Here it goes!" "NOW!" "TWIN DARK MAGIC ATTACK!" The master and pupil shouted in unison and fired their blast attack at Zarc who shrieked before it faded away with Atem giving a cold as hell line to the corrupt duelist's ashes once Zarc's life points reached zero.
"There is no future for you ever!"
