Ulrich362: Been a while, and a bit of a change of plans for this and some others too.
bopdog111: It was holding back on completing this but we managed to find a way to still make it work while still completing this.
Ulrich362: True, so it's time for Zarc's penultimate battle.
bopdog111: Against who this time?
Ulrich362: Um... I don't remember, was it Riley?
bopdog111: No. But we will see here.
Ulrich362: Sounds good to me, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Even Yusho with his tricks can't stop him... but they are learning well on Zarc's strategies, and making sure they can do all they can to stop him. But from that recent duels, they learn he still has some surprises in store but not sure what kind of surprises exactly. Now they are trying to figure who can go next.
But eventually someone spoke up. "Marik, Kaiba."
The two of them looked over. Yami Yugi was staring over. "Give me Obelisk, and Ra."
"All three, I see well then if anyone could pull this off it would be you." Marik nodded handing Yami Yugi Ra.
Kaiba however looked unconvinced. "What exactly is your strategy here, he's proven he can take down an Egyptian God Card already."
"He maybe able to handle 1 Egyptian God, Kaiba... but we can see how he can handle all three of them." Yami Yugi spoke as Kaiba hands him Obelisk which he takes them. "Alongside my mightiest servant, we won't lose to him."
"Alright get him Yuge!" Joey grinned seeing this as Yami Yugi stepped forward.
"Hm... well well... the King of Games himself is next." Zarc spoke smirking seeing his next opponent. "That's too bad, I was hoping to save the best other side my sister for last. This will be good though, cause you will be quite the opponent to warm up against her."
Yami Yugi shuffled all three Egyptian Gods into his Deck as he stares at Zarc. "Well now, Zarc, you are against me now."
"I can see that, this should be fun." Zarc smirked shuffling his own deck. "I look forward to seeing if you live up to your reputation."
They readied as everyone watches afraid, and hopeful this can work.
"DUEL!"

Hand: 5
Field: Nothing
Let the duel commence!
Yami Yugi 1st Turn:
"I'll be first Zarc!" Yami Yugi checked his hand. Seeing his hand, he nodded over seeing the kind of hand he has. "I shall start by activating the Spell Card, Swords of Revealing Light!" Light swords shot from the sky surrounding Zarc who looked around.
Swords of Revealing Light
Normal Spell Card
After this card's activation, it remains on the field, but you must destroy it during the End Phase of your opponent's 3rd turn. When this card is activated: If your opponent controls a face-down monster, flip all monsters they control face-up. While this card is face-up on the field, your opponent's monsters cannot declare an attack.
"While on the field, you cannot attack! This card is destroyed at the end of your third turn!" Yami Yugi spoke to Zarc who just stared. Then Yami Yugi takes another card placing it on the field. "Then I use the Spell, Secrets of Dark Magic!"
Secrets of Dark Magic
Quick-Play Spell Card
Activate 1 of the following effects.
● Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field, including "Dark Magician" or "Dark Magician Girl", as Fusion Material.
● Ritual Summon 1 Ritual Monster from your hand, by Tributing monsters from your hand or field, including "Dark Magician" or "Dark Magician Girl", whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster.
"This card allows me to Fusion Summon or Ritual Summon using either Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl from my hand!" Yami Yugi called raising 2 cards from his hand as Dark Magician, and a sentient robe of Dark Magician fusing together.
Stalling for time while you build resources, hardly the strategy I would expect from the famous Yugi Muto." Zarc taunted.
"Taunt all you want, it's what I need against someone like you!" Yami Yugi spreads his arms as the Fusion Summon happens.
"Arcane Sorcerer of Dark Magic! Robe of the Arcane Sorcerer! Embrace the Arcane Arts! Join together to form into the mightiest duo for the Secrets of the Arcane Arts! Fusion Summon! Level 8, The Dark Magicians!"
The Dark Magicians materialized onto the field against Zarc together.

If this card is destroyed: You can Special Summon both 1 "Dark Magician" and 1 "Dark Magician Girl" from your hand, Deck, and/or GY.
Zarc stared over interested over. Yami Yugi places a card down. "I place 1 card face-down, and my turn is done."
"Awesome, Yugi has a powerful monster that Zarc can't even take out thanks to Swords of Revealing Light." Tea smiled over as she watches this. She always believes Yugi can handle any opponent, that one loss against Kaiba was cause he didn't had a choice but to lose. "And with the kind of abilities that his Fusion Monster has, Zarc won't know what hits him."
"If it were anyone else I might be inclined to agree with you, but Zarc is in a different league... and I have a feeling the Swords of Revealing Light won't be around for long." Shark frowned.
Yami Yugi's Hand: 0/Field: The Dark Magicians (Attack Position), Swords of Revealing Light (TURN: 0), One Set Card
Zarc 1st Turn:
Zarc stared before smirking. This is the King of Games so he is gonna enjoy this match here. So he moved drawing. "I draw!" Checking over his hand, he smirked over. "I first start by sending Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon from my Hand to the graveyard to summon this card!" He raised up Supreme King Gate Magician's card.
"Read time, read the stars, with the ever-cleansing light may you be shaped to give the knowledge of immortality onto me! Come forth, Supreme King Gate Magician!"
Supreme King Gate Magician formed onto the field before it readied itself onto the field against The Dark Magicians.

You can target 1 "Supreme King Z-ARC" you control; it can attack all your opponent's monsters once each this turn. You can only use each effect of "Pendulum Evolution" per turn.
"Before anything else Zarc!" Yami Yugi called over. "Since a Spell or Trap card on the field was activated, The Dark Magicians' special ability activates!" He readied as his Magicians meditated. "So now, I draw a card, and if it's a Spell or Trap Card, I can place it on my field, and can activate it this turn!" He drew his card checking before then placing it down onto the field.
"That'll help slow that overgrown lizard down." Joey grinned.
"Well we are still at Evolution's effect." Zarc reveals Purple Poison Magician in his hand. "I shuffle back a Pendulum Monster back to my Deck for me to add a Pendulum Monster with 2500 Attack Points to my hand." He shuffles the first magician before he takes a card adding it. "And now I place Scale 1, Astrograph Sorcerer, and Scale 8 Chronograph Sorcerer to set the Pendulum Scale!" He places the cards as Astrograph, and a brown black like Magician rose up onto his field.

(This is treated as a Fusion Summon.)
"Now I can summon monsters within Levels 2 through 7 all at the same time!" Zarc smirked over towards Yami Yugi who stared unintimidated. "However before I can do such thing, there are a few things I do first! I destroy both Sorcerers in my Pendulum Zones!" Both Astrograph, and Chronograph shattered from his Pendulum Zones.
Yusho frowned hearing that. "That isn't good."
"So now I take 2 Magicians from my Deck, and place them on my field... a couple of familiar ones." Zarc smirked as he reveals 2 cards. "So now Stargazer Magician, and Timegazer Magician come to the Pendulum Zones!" The two original Pendulum Magicians belonging to Yuya rose in place of Astrograph, and Chronograph.

"Kin from the Different Dimensions! Spread a light across the either! Pendulum Summon! Gather at my side, my servants!"
The Pendulum Portal opened as two lights shot revealing Astrograph, and Chronograph Sorcerers.
Astrograph Sorcerer: (Attack Position)
Chronograph Sorcerer: (Attack Position)
"Alongside another monster." Zarc smirked showing a card. "Supreme King Gate Eternity!"

If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can place this card in your Pendulum Zone.
"What are you going to do now Yugi?" Kaiba frowned seeing that.
Yami Yugi just stares on watching. Zarc smirked before raising an arm. "And now Level 7 Astrograph Sorcerer, and Supreme King Gate Eternity... OVERLAY!" The two glowed purple flying up into the Overlay Network.
"Wait, a Rank 7 monster?" Shark questioned. "It can't be Dark Rebellion so what is he playing this time?"
"Kin with dichromatic eyes, and fangs of rebellion. Give in to the flames of rage, and reshape to destroy all who opposes me! Xyz Summon! Come forth, Rank 7! The raging dragon called by revolution! Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"

"That's new." Marik frowned seeing it. "I hope the pharaoh has something planned."
"And I activate it's special ability! By using an Overlay Unit, I can destroy up to 2 monsters on your field 3000 Attack Points or less!" Yami Yugi blinked as the dragon charged an attack blasting over at the Dark Magicians striking them, and destroying them with ease. "Your swords may protect you from attacks but your monsters aren't safe from such things as my dragons can use their abilities against them!"
Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon: (ORU: 2 - 1)
"Maybe, but when the Dark Magicians is destroyed I can summon two new monsters to the field, come forth Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl!" Yami Yugi revealed.
Bursting up was both Dark Magician, and Dark Magician Girl as they readied themselves against them.

"Now I activate my face-down, Dark Burning Magic!" Yami Yugi revealed his set card on the field.
Dark Burning Magic
Quick-Play Spell Card
If you control monsters whose original names are "Dark Magician" and "Dark Magician Girl": Destroy all cards your opponent controls.
"Since I have both Dark Magician, and his apprentice out on the field every card on your field is destroyed!"
"There all what?"
Dark Magician, and Dark Magician Girl blasted over at Zarc's cards destroying the dragon, Supreme King Gate Magician, Chronograph Sorcerer, Stargazer, Timegazer, and Pendulum Evolution all at once while Zarc raised an arm to defend himself.
"Awesome! I knew you could do it Yugi." Tea cheered.
"And Zarc has no cards in his hand either..." Zuzu spoke as Lulu bandaged her side. "Which means if Yugi attacks with both his magicians he'll win!"
"If it was that easy we wouldn't be in this situation." Kaiba pointed out.
Zarc smirked over towards Yami Yugi. "Well, bravo King of Games... I have to admit, that surprised me... however, I am prepared for every scenario." Yami Yugi blinked from this as Zarc reveals his Xyz Monster's card. "As Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon was destroyed, I can place it in my Pendulum Zone like so." He places the card as the dragon rose.
Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon: (Pendulum)
Yami Yugi stared frowning but readied over. "Well I also get a monster! Since I used a Spell or Trap card during your turn, I can summon Magician's Robe back from the graveyard!" The graveyard portal opened as Magician's Robe rose up in defense.

You can only use each effect of "Magician's Robe" once per turn.
"Come on Yuge, just one card... you can deal with that." Joey mentioned.
Zarc then smirked over. "I activate Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon's Pendulum Ability! During my Main Phase, I summon this card back from the Pendulum Zones, and with it attach a DARK Monster from my graveyard to it as an Overlay Unit!" The Xyz Dragon flew out of the Pendulum Zone onto the field roaring while an Overlay Unit from the graveyard flew to it.
Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon: (Attack Position/ORU: 1)
"But your monsters are safe for this round. I can also destroy a monster it's ability once per turn." Zarc continued over. "With that I end my turn." Yami Yugi almost eliminated everything from Zarc's field so that's a plus. Now he needs to get rid of this dragon to get a chance against Zarc.

Yami Yugi 2nd Turn:
"Which means, it's my turn again, I draw!" Yami Yugi drew. Checking to see it's Slifer he had drawn.
"Hopefully he drew something good." Jack frowned.
Yami Yugi checked over his field, and situation. Nodding he raised the card. "I sacrifice Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, and Magician's Robe!" The three vanished as a storm cloud started to gather. "When Magician's Robe leaves the field after being summoned by it's ability it's banished!" Zarc looked up interested into the storm clouds wondering what monster is being summoned.
"Which one is he playing first?" Kaiba questioned.
"I summon the Egyptian God Card, SLIFER THE SKY DRAGON!"
A lightning bolt struck behind him before raising up was Slifer roaring loud onto the field staring towards Zarc.
(Attack Position)
Slifer the Sky Dragon
DIVINE
Level 10
Divine-Beast/Effect
ATK: X000
DEF: X000
Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set). This card's Normal Summon cannot be negated. When Normal Summoned, cards and effects cannot be activated. Once per turn, during the End Phase, if this card was Special Summoned: Send it to the GY. Gains 1000 ATK and DEF for each card in your hand. If a monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned to your opponent's field in Attack Position: That monster(s) loses 2000 ATK, then if its ATK has been reduced to 0 as a result, destroy it.
"What!? Slifer now, I mean normally this would be an awesome move Yugi but your hand is empty... so Slifer's attack points are zero, not exactly helpful pal." Joey pointed out.
"I know but that's what I want." they blinked before Yami Yugi pointed over. "Now Slifer attack Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Everyone looked shocked from this move. Why? Slifer is way weaker!
Slifer charged a blast firing over that Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon fired a blast. With a point difference of 3000 it isn't a question who one as the Xyz Dragon's blast quickly overpowered Slifer's, and collided with the Egyptian God destroying it while Yami Yugi raised an arm grunting. (Yami Yugi: 1000/Hand: 0)
"What are you thinking Yugi?" Kaiba questioned shocked before then looking annoyed, and angered. "Are you losing the duel on purpose!?"
Yami Yugi sighed over before then flipping his set card. "I now activate, The Revived Sky God!" A trap showing of Slifer rose on the field.
The Revived Sky God
Normal Trap Card
The activation of this card, or its effects, cannot be negated, nor can its effects be negated. Special Summon 1 "Slifer the Sky Dragon" from your GY, then each player draws until they have 6 cards in their hand. You can banish this card from your GY; place 1 "Monster Reborn" from your Deck or GY on top of your Deck, then, if a Divine-Beast monster is in your GY, draw 1 card. You can only use each effect of "The Revived Sky God" once per turn.
"The effects, and activation of this card cannot be negated, and their effects cannot be negated!" Zarc stared over as a bright red glow happened from Yami Yugi's graveyard. "This card revives Slifer back to the field!"
Slifer rose up again on the field roaring over making a grand reappearance.
Slifer the Sky Dragon: (Attack Position)
"What, you summoned it, attack with a suicidal attack, and then resummon it... are you really losing on purpose by attacking with no points?" Zarc doesn't know what Yami Yugi is thinking but is smirking over thinking that he lost the will to fight.
"Oh Slifer will attack again... but not with no Attack Points." Yami Yugi grinned over towards him.
"What?" Zarc questioned.
"Revived Sky God has an additional effect, it not only revives Slifer back, but we also draw 6 cards each!" Yami Yugi revealed over.
"That increases Slifer's attack points to 6000." Tea realized.
"So he had a plan, but giving Zarc a new hand is a risky move." Declan noted.
Zarc, and Yami Yugi drew 6 cards as Slifer's points grow.
Slifer the Sky Dragon: (ATK: 0 + (1000 * 6) = 6000/DEF: 0 + (1000 * 6) = 6000)
Yami Yugi checked over his hand. Nothing he can use the further turn the tides. He turned back. "Now Slifer attack Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon with Thunderforce Attack!" Slifer charged a blast firing over, and it enveloped the Xyz Dragon destroying it this time as Zarc stepped back. (Zarc: 1000/Hand: 6)
"Not bad but don't forget as it was destroyed, Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon comes to my Pendulum Zone!" Zarc reminded placing the card as the dragon rose again.
Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon: (Pendulum)
"So he can keep bringing that monster back no matter how many times it's destroyed..." Mokuba grunted seeing this.
"True, but with Slifer in play it loses 2000 points every time Zarc summons it." Odion pointed out. "Which leaves it with only 1000 attack points."
Yami Yugi checked over his hand. Slifer can't stay on the field long so he needs to prepare his field. So with that he starts with his new hand, "I activate the Magician's Salvation, Field Spell!" The summoning circle appeared below them.
(Field Zone)
Magician's Salvation
Field Spell Card
When this card is activated: You can Set 1 "Eternal Soul" directly from your Deck. If you Normal or Special Summon "Dark Magician" or "Dark Magician Girl" (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 of those monsters Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" or "Dark Magician Girl" from your GY, with a different name than that monster. You can only use this effect of "Magician's Salvation" once per turn. You can only activate 1 "Magician's Salvation" per turn.
"Then I activate Monster Reborn!" Yami Yugi after placing a card from his Deck to his field, reveals his signature spell card.
Monster Reborn
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 monster in either GY; Special Summon it.
"So now revive back Dark Magician!" Dark Magician rose back onto the field in Defense.
Dark Magician: (Defense Position)
"Magician Salvation's effect activates! Whenever Dark Magician is summoned, I can bring back Dark Magician Girl from the graveyard!" Dark Magician reached in the graveyard pulling out Dark Magician Girl as she smiles before knelling down to the field slightly gaining power due to a Dark Magician in his graveyard.
Dark Magician Girl: (Defense Position/ATK: 2000 + 300 = 2300)
Of course those moves cost Slifer some power.
Slifer the Sky Dragon: (ATK: 6000 - (1000 * 2) = 4000/DEF: 6000 - (1000 * 2) = 4000)
"Clever move, Slifer was Special Summoned so it returns to the graveyard at the end of the turn." Marik noted seeing that.
"I place 2 cards face-down to end my turn. With my turn over now, as Slifer was Special Summoned, I have to send Slifer to the graveyard." Slifer turned to red energy as it is sent to the graveyard.
Yami Yugi's Hand: 2/Field: Magician's Salvation (Field Zone), Dark Magician (Defense Position), Dark Magician Girl (Defense Position/ATK: 2300), Swords of Revealing Light (TURN 1), Three Set Cards
Zarc 2nd Turn:
"Well King of Games, not bad... you managed to replenish your hands to get more options, dealt me quite a bit of damage, and manage to get defensive." Zarc wiped his mouth with a smirk towards Yami Yugi who stared at him confidently. "However as you may know... I ALSO got a new hand." Zarc shows his new hand smirking before then drawing. "And I'm gonna use it, I draw!"
"Hopefully Yugi has a plan." Joey admitted.
Checking over his hand Zarc smirked over. "First I activate Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon's Pendulum Ability! Return to the field once more!" The dragon moved out of his Pendulum Zone back onto the field with an Overlay Unit attached.
Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon: (Attack Position/ORU: 1)
"Then after that, I use Scale 4, Supreme King Dragon Odd-Eyes, and Scale 8 Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm to reset the Pendulum Scale!" Zarc places the cards while both the corrupted Odd-Eyes, and Lightwurm rose on his Pendulum Zones.

Monster Effect: If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 face-up "Supreme King Dragon" or "Supreme King Gate" Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck to your hand, then, immediately after this effect resolves, you can Synchro or Xyz Summon 1 "Supreme King Dragon" monster. If a face-up Pendulum Monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect while this card is face-up in your Extra Deck: You can add this card to your hand. You can only use each monster effect of "Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm" per turn.
"So now I can summon monsters with Levels 5 through 8!" Zarc called before raising an arm. "Pendulum Summon! Revive my servants!" The Pendulum Portal appeared shooing out some lights. Chronograph Sorcerer, Supreme King Gate Magician, and Stargazer Magician were brought back from his Extra Deck
Chronograph Sorcerer: (Attack Position)
Supreme King Gate Magician: (Attack Position)
Stargazer Magician: (Attack Position)
"First as Supreme King Gate Magician was summoned, I take a card that mentions myself from my Deck to my hand!" Zarc called as he takes a card from his Deck to his hand. "Then I activate the effect of Forgotten Soul Ritual Dragon in my hand!" He reveals a new Ritual Monster in his hand.
"Not good." Jack frowned.
"Ritual Dragon?" Leo Akaba spoke to himself fearful. He had suspicions that with Blue Memory Magician, Zarc gained access to a new dragon, and he was right.
"I don't need a Ritual Spell to Ritual Summon this card from my hand! So I sacrifice monsters from my hand or field who's total Levels equal 7 or more!" Zarc called as both Chronograph Sorcerer, and Stargazer Magician were both sacrificed.
"Great, so what can this one do?" Kaiba frowned.
"So now I Ritual Summon! Come to the field, Forgotten Soul Ritual Dragon!" A new dragon rose up it has darkened black scales with scars on it's body with three large ones on it's chest area where it's heart resided. It has four talons on it's arms where large wings they are dark gray in the wings, and having long legs with two talons on the front, and one at the back shaping as an armored dragon. It's tail is also quite long with two rows of spines at the left, and right with the end having a bone almost like a wrecking ball with a sharp spike on it. It also has a long neck a horizonal blue stripe pattern all over it at the scales with a blue underbelly on it, and it's body. It's head is also shaped like a lizard's with four blue glowing eyes, and it's snout has a small scar on it with two fangs present almost shaped as a Vampires with two horns that are straight on both sides of it's head on top. Being summoned the dragon let out a large roar.

You can Tribute 1 other monster you control; halve the ATK of all Level 5 or higher monsters your opponent controls until the End Phase. You can only activate each effect of "Forgotten Soul Ritual Dragon" per turn.
Everyone looked at the new dragon in shock.
"And when this card is Ritual Summoned, the effects of every monster that are Special Summoned on your field have their effects negated! Forgotten Embrace!" Embracing itself with it's wings Forgotten Soul then released the power gathering as a green mist flew around the field enveloping both of Yami Yugi's monsters. While Dark Magician wasn't effected due to being a Normal Monster, Dark Magician Girl looked visibly weakened.
Dark Magician Girl: (Effects Negated/ATK: 2300 - 300 = 2000)
"Then I activate Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon's ability!" Taking it's other unit it prepares to blast both Magicians. "Revolt Rebellion!"
Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon: (ORU: 1 - 0)
Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon fired the blast charging straight but Yami Yugi had a defense. "I activate my face-down, Eternal Soul!"
(face-up)
Eternal Soul

● Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" from your hand or GY.
● Add 1 "Dark Magic Attack" or "Thousand Knives" from your Deck to your hand.
"As long as this card is on the field all Dark Magicians on my field are not affected by your cards!" Yami Yugi called before a graveyard portal appeared. "In addition, due to it's effect I summon my second Dark Magician back from the graveyard!" A second Dark Magician rose to the field.
Dark Magician: (Defense Position)
The effect continued as Dark Magician Girl was destroyed without mercy while a barrier protected the first Dark Magician.
"And now Magician's Salvation's effect! When a Dark Magician is summoned to the field, I can revive Dark Magician Girl from the graveyard to join him!" Dark Magician plunges his hand in the graveyard portal pulling out Dark Magician Girl who grinned knelling in Defense. With no Dark Magicians in the graveyard she can't gain points anymore.
Dark Magician Girl: (Defense Position)
"Are you alright?" Dark Magician asked Dark Magician Girl.
"I think so, but how can we overpower those dragons?" Dark Magician Girl asked.
"I don't know we just have to trust the Pharaoh like we always do." Dark Magician Girl nodded at her teacher's words before turning back.
"Well still not bad." Zarc smirked over glad that Yami Yugi won't be beaten that easily like he always does. He takes a card revealing it. "I activate Pendulum Treasure!"
Pendulum Treasure
Normal Spell Card
Add 1 Pendulum Monster from your Deck to your Extra Deck face-up. You can only activate 1 "Pendulum Treasure" per turn.
"I place 1 Pendulum Monster from my Deck to my Extra Deck face-up." After searching his needed card, he places down four cards on his hand. "With these four set cards, I end my turn. And now Swords is over halfway through it's delay effect which means come my next 2 turns, my wrath will be upon you soon enough!"
Swords of Revealing Light: (TURN 2)

Yami Yugi 3rd Turn:
"My turn now, I draw!" Yami Yugi drew checking over.
"I play a trap!" Yami Yugi looked over as Zarc revealed his face-down. "Soul of the Supreme King!" A trap showing of Z-ARC seeming to split rose on the field.
Soul of the Supreme King
Normal Trap Card
Pay half your LP; Special Summon 1 "Supreme King Z-ARC" from your Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions, but negate its effects. It is returned to the Extra Deck during the End Phase of the next turn.

"By paying half of my Life Points, I can summon my monster self from my Extra Deck ignoring needs to summon it properly under the condition it's returned to my Extra Deck at the end of the next turn!" Zarc raises a card as he glowed red. (Zarc: 0500/Hand: 1) "However the effects of that card are negated!"
"Negated, that means it's vulnerable." Shark noted.
"Vulnerable perhaps... but if I know Zarc like I do know, he plans to use it despite that." Leo Akaba spoke as the black smoke cloud emerged around.
"So now come, Supreme King Z-ARC!"
The smoke was flapped away where Supreme King Z-ARC is on the field roaring.
(Attack Position)
(Effects Negated)

If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can place this card in your Pendulum Zone.
"The effect of Z-ARC activates however as it's negated, there is no value." Z-ARC's destruction effect is mandatory so Zarc didn't had a choice to activate it even if it's effects are negated.
"What's this creep up to now?" Sylvio frowned.
"And now the Pendulum Ability of Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm activates! As a monster is Special Summoned, and I have both Z-ARC, and a Pendulum Monster on my field, I can summon this card from my Pendulum Zone!" Lightwurm flew out of Zarc's Pendulum Zone onto the field.
Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm: (Attack Position)
"And I chain, it's first effect with Pendulum Switch!" Zarc added using a face-down.
(face-up)

You can target 1 card in your Pendulum Zone; Special Summon it. You can target 1 Pendulum Monster in your Monster Zone; place that Pendulum Monster in your Pendulum Zone. You can only use 1 "Pendulum Switch" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
"So now Supreme King Dragon Odd-Eyes moves from my Pendulum Zone to the field!" Odd-Eyes flew out onto the field.
Supreme King Dragon Odd-Eyes: (Attack Position)
"And now Lightwurm's effect activates! When this card is summoned, I take a Supreme King Gate or Dragon from my Extra Deck, and add it back to my hand!" Zarc added Supreme King Gate Infinity to his hand. "But that's just part 1."
"What is he planning now?" Zuzu frowned.
"I don't know, but I don't like this." Rin admitted.
"Now... I can Xyz Summon or Synchro Summon a Supreme King from my Extra Deck!" Zarc smirked over as Lightwurm turned to 4 rings flying up with Odd-Eyes flying up turning to 8 stars passing the rings.
(LV: 4 + 8 = 12)
"Wh... Level 12?" Jack questioned seeing that.
"The ultimate Dragon who reigns within the sixth dimension! Now take the power of Synchro in hands! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Supreme King Z-ARC - Synchro Universe!"
Forming from the Synchro Summon was a different version of Z-ARC emerging beside the other one roaring. There is nothing visibly different in terms of appearance about this one. But this can sense this one is different.
(Attack Position)

If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can place this card in your Pendulum Zone.
Supreme King Z-ARC - Synchro Universe: (Name: Supreme King Z-ARC)
The moment it's summoned the sky distorted, and flashes of the Synchro Dimension appeared all around them.
"That... what's going on, how are there two of them!?" Jack questioned in disbelief. "And why is our home suddenly appearing?"
"What did you just do?" Yami Yugi asked Zarc.
"The power of the Synchro Dimension is now within my hands." Zarc smirked over answering over. "As the Supreme Ruler of the known Universe, I use the power of all of the Dimensions in the palm of my hands."
"Big deal, even with two dragons you're still stuck behind Yugi's Swords of Revealing Light you overgrown lizard!" Joey pointed out.
"Well it's still not my turn. I'm done for what I need to do now so it's back to you King of Games."
Yami Yugi grunted over from this... now he has 2 really powerful monsters to worry over, and a Xyz Dragon also, and the two stronger ones can use powers of all of the Dimensions. Slifer by itself is strong but from this kind of formation, it doesn't seem like even an Egyptian God can handle them... which means he needs to use all their strength, and his own as well.
Meanwhile...
While Cassie is busy training Ray suddenly senses Dimensional Strain. Something is happening to the Synchro Dimension.
"Huh, Ray?" Cassie asked noticing she looked nervous. "What's going on?"
"I can... I can feel... power... unimaginable power through the Synchro Dimension..." Ray spoke shuddering before then gasping. "Zarc! He must be using all of the power of the Synchro Dimension at once!"
Zarc can do that? If he can use all the power of the Dimensions, he be an even bigger threat then they all thought possible. And he can also use the true power of Yuya, Yugo, Yuri, and Yuto's dragons as well which will make this an even bigger obstacle to go over.
"We don't have much time." Spyro spoke over towards them. "If what me, and my fellow Skylanders can sense is right, then all of the Dimensions themselves are on the verge of collapsing."
"But... we're not ready yet." Cassie panicked hearing that before her eyes widened. "I need to get to Riley! She could be in danger!"
"You can't go yet." Ninjini spoke over towards her. "You still need to complete your training. Your girlfriend, and boyfriend both are fine, the Nameless Pharaoh is dueling Zarc right now which will be enough time for us to finish you mastering the last of the two Elements."
Cassie looked incredibly worried but she nodded. "I... what do I have to do now?"
"Just keep doing, what your doing."
She nodded meditating more. Just then the last Natural Energy card in her hand begin glowing bright catching all of their attention as the bright light is becoming too bright for them all.
"So bright..." Spyro cried shielding his eyes.
New things began forming like Gill Grunt, Eruptor, and new Skylanders forming. But something else is forming as well some kind of large monster with multiple heads. Cassie stared in shock seeing the monster as the last card in her hand finishing forming into the last Skylander Element card. Then eyes opened all staring at Cassie of different colors.
Back at the duel...
"My turn now continues!" Yami Yugi checked his drawn card again. "I Overlay both of my Dark Magicians to build the Overlay Network!" The two glowed purple flying into the Overlay Network.
"When the Secrets of Dark Magic are revealed, therefore lies the ultimate use of Arcane Wizardry which is the talents of the Magicians! Xyz Summon! Rank 7, Ebon Illusion Magician!"

When a Spellcaster-Type Normal Monster declares an attack: You can target 1 card your opponent controls; banish it. You can only use this effect of "Ebon Illusion Magician" once per turn.
(ORU: 2)
"And I activate the effect of Ebon Illusion Magician! I use 1 Overlay Unit to summon back Dark Magician from my Deck!" Ebon Illusion Magician absorbed an Overlay Unit before using a summoning circle to bring out a third Dark Magician.
Ebon Illusion Magician: (ORU: 2 - 1)
Dark Magician: (Attack Position)
Dark Magician Girl: (ATK: 2000 + 300 = 2300)
"He needs all the Egyptian Gods to stand a chance." Marik frowned.
"And now I activate Eternal Soul's effect to add a card to my hand!" Yami Yugi called as his trap glowed before he activates the card he added. "Thousand Knives!"
Thousand Knives
Normal Spell Card
If you control "Dark Magician": Target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy that target.
"Since I have Dark Magician on the field a monster on your field is destroyed!" Summoning knives around him Dark Magician fired them over all over the regular Z-ARC as it's effects are negated roaring as it was destroyed in particles of light.
Zarc however smirked. "Why thank you! As Z-ARC is destroyed due to a special effect, I can place it in my Pendulum Zone!" He placed the card as Z-ARC rose in his left Pendulum Zone.
Supreme King Z-ARC: (Pendulum)
"Well it won't make a difference here! Dark Magician attack Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Yami Yugi called as Dark Magician unflinchingly charges in towards the Xyz Dragon who roared towards him. "And now Ebon Illusion Magician's other ability activates! When a Spellcaster Normal Monster on the field attacks, I can banish 1 card from your field!"
"This could actually work." Declan noted.
Ebon Illusion Magician moved to do it's effect before suddenly red electricity crackled around it's form paralyzing it.
"What?" Yami Yugi questioned.
"So sorry, we're you thinking of banishing Synchro Universe? Too bad! While in the Pendulum Zone, I can shut down all of your Fusion, Synchro, Ritual, and Xyz Monsters special abilities preventing them from activating!" Zarc revealed with a smirk.
"What?" Yami Yugi questioned in shock.
"Retaliate!" Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon aimed over firing over at Dark Magician who pulled back to try avoiding the attack.
Yami Yugi quickly takes a card. "I activate the Arrivalrivals' spell card!"
Arrivalrivals
Quick-Play Spell Card
During the Battle Phase: Immediately after this effect resolves, Normal Summon 1 monster. You can only activate 1 "Arrivalrivals" per turn.
"During Battle, I summon a monster!" Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, and Ebon Illusion Magician vanished before the Xyz Dragon's attack can connect.
"That was way too close." Tea frowned.
"Rise to the field, Obelisk the Tormentor!"
The second of the Egyptian Gods in the duel Obelisk rose up letting out a roar as it towered in front of Synchro Universe.

"That pathetic creature already fell to my supreme power." Zarc smirked.
"Well he's here for payback! Obelisk attack Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon with Fist of Fate!" Obelisk charged in moving to land a tough punch over.
"I activate Defense Draw!" Zarc used his face-down.
Defense Draw
Normal Trap Card
During your opponent's turn, at damage calculation: Make the battle damage you take from this battle 0, and if you do, draw 1 card.
"All damage from this battle becomes 0, then I draw 1 card!" The Egyptian God destroyed the Xyz Dragon while Zarc drew. This time however he didn't place it in his Pendulum Zone.
Riley shivered a bit only for Mokuba to take her hand gently.
"With that, I shall end my turn."
Yami Yugi's Hand: 1/Field: Magician's Salvation (Field Zone), Obelisk the Tormentor (Attack Position), Eternal Soul (face-up), Swords of Revealing Light (TURN 2), Two Set Cards
Zarc 3rd Turn:
"My turn now!" Zarc drew with a smirk placing his drawn card in his hand before revealing Infinity. "And I activate Scale 13, Supreme King Gate Infinity in my Pendulum Zone!" The Gate rose up beside Z-ARC.

If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can place this card in your Pendulum Zone.
"Once every turn, I can target 1 monster on your field if I have Z-ARC, and regain points equal to it's attack points!" Yami Yugi blinked turning to Obelisk who was forced to lend some of it's Godly power to Zarc who closed his eyes absorbing the power. (Zarc: 4500/Hand: 2) Now Yami Yugi's right back where he had started!
"Come on! You've got to be kidding!" Joey groaned.
Zarc checked over his hand. Then he shrugged over setting a card. "I place 1 card down to end my turn." Then he smirked over towards Yami Yugi. "With this end phase, Swords of Revealing Light's effect finally ends... so when your turn ends, you will face my wrath!" Like he said the light swords around him vanished. If Yami Yugi can't beat him this turn, he will be overwhelmed.
"Come on! You've got to be kidding!" Joey groaned.
Zarc checked over his hand. Then he shrugged over setting a card. "I place 1 card down to end my turn." Then he smirked over towards Yami Yugi. "With this end phase, Swords of Revealing Light's effect finally ends... so when your turn ends, you will face my wrath!" Like he said the light swords around him vanished. If Yami Yugi can't beat him this turn, he will be overwhelmed.
"If anyone can pull this off it's Yugi." Tea mentioned seeing that.

Yami Yugi 4th Turn:
"My turn! I draw!" Yami Yugi drew checking over. This is it, he needs to defeat Zarc now or next turn, Zarc will be able to attack, and destroy him.
"Come on Yuge." Joey whispered.
Yami Yugi places his drawn card in his hand. "I activate Eternal Soul's effect! Now I add another card to my hand! Dark Magic Attack!" He takes a card showing it to Zarc.
Kaiba smirked slightly recognizing the spell.
"Oh were you hoping to use that?" Yami Yugi blinked from Zarc's smirk. "With my supreme powers, any card you add outside of your draw phase is destroyed!" Z-ARC in his Pendulum Zone channeled red lightning striking down at the newly added spell destroying it before Yami Yugi can have a chance to use it.
"No way!" Lulu cried in shock.
Yami Yugi grunted over from this before then calling. "I activated The Revived Sky Dragon's effect in the graveyard! I banish this card to place Monster Reborn to the top of my Deck, and as there is an Egyptian God in my graveyard, I can then draw a card!" He places the card before drawing. He waited before he then grinned. "Well guess I was right. That effect to destroy any card I add is only once per turn!"
"That's a relief." Mokuba admitted.
"Now I activate Monster Reborn again!" Yami Yugi used the spell again as Dark Magician rose from the graveyard.
Dark Magician: (Attack Position)
"Magician's Salvation's effect activates!" Dark Magician reached in the graveyard portal pulling out his apprentice again.
Dark Magician Girl: (Attack Position/ATK: 2000 + (300 * 2) = 2600)
"He will sacrifice those two with Obelisk's ability to destroy all of Zarc's monsters to leave him open!"
"Yeah he could but Obelisk won't be allowed to attack when that is used." Ishizu spoke over towards Lulu when she spoke this. "The Pharaoh can't make a mistake like that, he must be up to something here."
"Hopefully he has a way to win." Rin frowned.
"And now I activate the spell, Ancient Chant!" All of Battle City perked up hearing that recalling that spell that Yami Marik used.
Ancient Chant
Normal Spell Card
Add 1 "The Winged Dragon of Ra" from your Deck or GY to your hand, and if you do, during your Main Phase this turn, you can Tribute Summon 1 monster, in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gain this effect once per turn.) You can banish this card from your GY; if you Tribute Summon "The Winged Dragon of Ra" this turn after you resolved this effect, its original ATK/DEF become the combined original ATK/DEF of the monsters Tributed for its Tribute Summon. You can only activate 1 "Ancient Chant" per turn.
"Due to it's effect, I add the final Egyptian God to my hand!" Yami Yugi called adding the card to his hand revealing it. "And by banishing it, if I Tribute Summon, The Winged Dragon of Ra this turn, it's original points become equal to the monsters I sacrifice!" Zarc blinked before Yami Yugi raised a card. "I sacrifice Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, and Obelisk the Tormentor!" The three were sacrificed as Yami Yugi closed his eyes glowing gold starting to say some ancient words.
"The Ancient Chant... he knows it!" Ishizu realized what words he was saying.
"Almighty protector of the sun and sky, I beg of thee please heed my cry! Unlock thyself from orb of light, and bring me victory in this fight! I beseech thee, grace our humble game, but first I shall... call out thy name! Winged Dragon of Ra!"
He raised the card up high as lowering down was a large golden sphere as Yami Yugi places the card on his Duel Disk before the sphere starting unfolding while Zarc watches interested before The Winged Dragon of Ra was formed roaring loud while all who haven't seen Ra in person looked stunned at seeing the most powerful of the Egyptian Gods in front of their eyes.

The Winged Dragon of Ra: (ATK: 8500/DEF: 7800)
"Awesome, Ra's way stronger than Zarc's monsters." Mokuba grinned.
"Battle! Ra attack Supreme King Z-ARC - Synchro Universe! Blaze Cannon!" Ra starts charging it's signature attack before blasting over towards the monster. In addition to being way stronger, it also has enough ATK to deplete all of Zarc's Life Points in one blast.
Leo Akaba frowned, he knew Zarc better than anyone and something wasn't right about this attack. The attack charged in as it enveloped over at Synchro Universe as it roared before a large detonated blast happened as they watched this. Yami Yugi seeing this sighed. "It's over... the battle is over..."
"Not quite."
"What?" Yami Yugi looked over where Zarc is still in the duel smirking. (Zarc: 1000/Hand: 0) "Impossible! How'd you still have Life Points!?"
"It's all thanks this." Zarc gestured where he had acted Emergency Provisions with his face-down gone from the field.
Emergency Provisions
Quick-Play Spell Card
Send any number of other Spells/Traps you control to the GY; gain 1000 LP for each card sent to the GY this way.
"Emergency Provisions!" Yami Yugi cried in shock seeing the spell. "You were even prepared for this?"
"When Ray defeated me back then, I had made sure I prepare for every powerful scenario... and I said before even GODS bow down to supreme rulers!" Zarc smirked over spreading his arms.
"Cassie..." Riley whispered nervously.
Yami Yugi grunted from this... he doesn't have anything else he can use this turn. Ra with 8500 points will be his best defense now. With that he awaits Zarc's turn setting a card. "I end my turn!"
Yami Yugi's Hand: 0/Field: Magician's Salvation (Field Zone), The Winged Dragon of Ra (Attack Position/ATK: 8500/DEF: 7800), Eternal Soul (face-up), Three Set Cards
Zarc 4th Turn:
"Would you know it... Swords of Revealing Light is gone! Which means, I am now able to attack! Let us begin the countdown for destruction!" Zarc yelled drawing over ready to unleash his power now that Swords isn't there to stop him.
"This isn't good." Joey frowned.
Yami Yugi stared over grunting with Ra, and three set cards on his field. He needs to survive this turn, and then make a comeback. Won't be easy...
Zarc then smirked over. "And now I activate the effect of Pendulum Switch! I switch Gate Infinity from Pendulum to field!" The Gate monster flew onto the field.
Supreme King Gate Infinity: (Defense Position)
"Then I activate Forgotten Soul's special ability!" Forgotten Soul starts to absorb the soul of Gate Infinity as it turned to dust while Forgotten Soul start gathering power. "By Tributing a monster on my field the attack points of all Level 5 or higher monsters on you field are cut in half!" Yami Yugi widen his eyes looking over towards Ra. "Soul Drain!" Forgotten Soul uses the soul of Gate Infinity to weaken Ra as it feels it's power being drained.
The Winged Dragon of Ra: (ATK: 8500 / 2 = 4250)
"You sure you want to do that? You can't Pendulum Summon anymore cause of that!"
"I couldn't anyway. With Gate Infinity in a Pendulum Zone while I control a monster, I cannot Pendulum Summon." Zarc spoke explaining why he done so. Even still he would've gained points before doing that.
"I have a very bad feeling." Zuzu frowned.
"Then I use Scale 8 Double Iris Magician to set the Pendulum Scale!" Zarc activates one of his magicians in his Pendulum Zone.

Supreme King Gate Infinity: (Attack Position)

"Due to Supreme King Gate Magician's effect, I add a card that mentions myself to my hand." Zarc add a card to his hand. "Next, I Tune Lightwurm with Timegazer Magician!" The two monsters flew up tuning together.
(LV: 3 + 4 = 7)

Clear Wing shot onto the field roaring loud against The Winged Dragon of Ra.

If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can place this card in your Pendulum Zone.
"Next I activate Gate Zero's ability! I destroy both it, and Z-ARC in my Pendulum Zone!" Both cards glowed before they shattered together. "When I do that, I can then summon a Synchro or Dragon Fusion monsters from my Extra Deck without it's effects, and points! So now rise from my Extra Deck! Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon!" Raising from the Extra Deck was a dragon like both of Odd-Eyes, and Starving Venom together roaring on the field.

Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon: (ATK: 3300 - 3300 = 0/DEF: 2500 - 2500 = 0)
"Then I activate it's effect! It become a copy of one of your monsters, and gains it's effects, and attack points!" Despite it's effects being negated, Venom Dragon tries to use it's ability on The Winged Dragon of Ra.
"What's the point of that move?" Yami Yugi questioned. "Your monster can't activate its abilities."
"It can but the effect is null, and void... but this is why Clear Wing's ability activates! Dichoric Mirror!" Clear Wing roared shining a lethal light from her wings which vaporized his newly summoned dragon.
"He destroyed his own monster? Why would he do that?" Mai questioned seeing this more confused.
"Clear Wing's ability! It can negate that effect and destroy his other dragon then gain its points!" Rin realized.
"What?"
They looked as Clear Wing roared energizing from the power Venom Dragon had.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon: (ATK: 2500 + 3300 = 5800)
Yami Yugi gasped seeing this monster is now stronger then The Winged Dragon of Ra.
"Impossible!" Marik cried in shock.
"Battle! Clear Wing attack Ra! Spinstorm Sky Strike!" Clear Wing charged her wings shooting straight into Ra intending to destroy it.
Yami Yugi knew he still has a chance. "I activate my face-down, Sun God Unification!"

Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 "The Winged Dragon of Ra"; gain LP equal to its ATK on the field. You cannot activate both of this card's effects in the same Chain.
"I sacrifice Ra to gain Life Points equal to it's Attack Points!" The Winged Dragon of Ra quickly left the field before Clear Wing can land a strike at it. (Yami Yugi: 5250/Hand: 0) "Then I activate Eternal Soul's effect! So now Dark Magician comes back in Defense Position!" Dark Magician quickly moved out of the graveyard in Defense.
Dark Magician: (Defense Position)
"Eternal Salvation's effect activates!"
Dark Magician reached a hand pulling out Dark Magician Girl who knelled in Defense like her teacher.
Dark Magician Girl: (Defense Position/ATK: 2000 + (300 * 2) = 2600)
"That was way too close." Tea sighed in relief seeing that.
"So now Clear Wing needs to attack either Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl! And neither can't deal damage, and his monsters aren't strong enough to deplete all of Yugi's Life Points!" Riley spoke seeing this.
Zarc smirked over. "Well not bad at managing to save yourself from this... just a shame your best wasn't good enough." Yami Yugi blinked over. "I still have the card Supreme King Gate Magician let me added." Zarc takes his added card. "Supreme Madness Hurricane!"
Supreme Madness Hurricane
Quick-Play Spell Card
If you control "Supreme King Z-ARC": Destroy all Spell & Traps on the field, then both players can draw 1 card for every one of their cards destroyed by this effect. You can only activate 1 "Supreme Madness Hurricane" per turn.
"Since Z-ARC is on the field, we can draw 1 card for every one of our spells, and trap cards we each have on the field! But after that they are all destroyed!" Yami Yugi's eyes widen hearing this as all cards on their field shattered while Zarc drew 3 cards since Z-ARC, Double Iris, and Pendulum Switch on his field are gone while Yami Yugi drew five from his two set cards, Eternal Soul, Magician's Salvation, and Sun God Unification being destroyed themselves.
"Eternal Soul left the field so all monsters on my field are destroyed!" Dark Magician, and Dark Magician Girl yelled out as the backlash of the trap Yami Yugi had destroyed the two at once. "Dark Magician! Dark Magician Girl!"
"No way, Yugi!" Tea cried in shock seeing that.
"And now Clear Wing attack directly!"
Clear Wing charges in towards Yami Yugi.
Yami Yugi reveals a card. "I discard Kuriboh to turn the damage to zero!" The original Kuriboh popped on the field to try defending his duelist.
"I don't think so!" Zarc reveals a card. "Counter Trap, Supreme Banishment!"
Supreme Banishment
Counter Trap Card

If you don't control a card in the Pendulum Zone, you can activate this card from your hand. You can only activate 1 "Supreme Banishment" per turn.
"When you use the effect of a monster, the activation is negated!" Yami Yugi widen his eyes as Kuriboh was forced off the field. "Now King of Games the title is mine!"
Yami Yugi stared as Clear Wing shot at him. "NNNNNOOOOOO!" The attack struck him hard eliminating him.
Yami Yugi: 0000
Hand: 4
Field: Nothing
Zarc: 1000
Hand: 2
Field: Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (Attack Position/ATK: 5800), Forgotten Soul Ritual Dragon (Attack Position)
Zarc wins!
"What? ...Even the King of Games himself!?" Celina was stunned that there was someone who can defeat even Yugi Muto who uses the Egyptian Gods, and Dark Magicians in perfect harmony, like how she was shocked that same person defeated Zane.
"This can't be real, even the pharaoh wasn't enough?" Marik questioned in disbelief.
Zarc smirked over as Yami Yugi now back to Yugi himself slowly sat up. "Well then your reputation wasn't unwarranted Yugi..." Yugi slowly looked up towards him with a closed eye. "But I think we both agree that with this, there is no-one else who can really stop me. I am here to find Ray, and make her pay for defeating me back then, and when I do, then I will continue giving everyone a brutal duel like no other!"
Leo Akaba grunted from this. He can't let this go on, his daughter was in danger, and if even Yugi can't stop him, then he needs to step in. "No Zarc, you won't get near my daughter!" He moves over to the front to confront Zarc himself.
"Stop Leo Akaba!" a familiar voice spoke behind them as someone stepped behind them.
Shocked they all turned to see who it was. It was Cassie who had managed to wake up from finally completing her training looking ready to battle.
"Cassie?" Riley gasped seeing her. "Cassie, you're ok!"
She ran and hugged her tightly.
Cassie smiled gently hugging Riley back. "Hey Riri... I'm sorry, I worried you so much..." She looked seeing Mokuba also walked over looking shocked himself which she smiled. "Hey Moki... missed me?"
"Yeah, but... are you ok?" he asked her nervously while hugging her too. "Zarc is way stronger than we thought, even Yugi lost."
"I know... me, and her can sense the power while we were busy."
"Her?" Mokuba repeated confused.
Cassie closed her eyes before something appeared above which they widen their eyes. It was Ray in her spirit form looking over everyone. Celina, Zuzu, Rin, and Lulu couldn't help but blush a bit.
"Wow, she looks... beautiful." Lulu admitted seeing her.
"Ray!" Leo Akaba called shocked seeing her for the first time in like ever.
Ray looked over everyone, and her gaze turned to her father as she can see relief, love, shock, and happiness at seeing her again. But she can't feel the same as his actions ruined the lives so many people, and placed everyone in danger cause he couldn't let her go. So she just turned away ahead which he blinked from this. "Dad, we need to talk later." She stares over at Zarc who glared towards her before she looked turns to Cassie. "The final showdown is ahead Cassie... when your ready step forward."
Cassie nodded taking a soft breath before looking at Riley, and Mokuba. "Riri... Moki... you two will stay by me no matter right?"
Mokuba's eyes widened before he nodded. "Yeah, of course."
Riley shivered but she nodded. "I... I'll be right here with you Cassie. Let's finish this together."
Cassie nodded smiling. "Then I got no regrets..." She takes a breath stepping forward while Zarc smirked walking forward somewhat as well before they stopped staring at each other. "So... your Zarc. The dark self of big bro Yuya."
"Ha... well I don't know about dark self... I am merely the true form of that person. I am your true older brother here in the flesh." Zarc spoke to her smirking over.
Cassie closed her eyes from this. "Your right, I won't deny it." That surprised everyone thinking she will deny it before looking at him. "Ever since Yuya was young, he always defended me... he uses Ritual Monsters each time when your peaking out. That was you wasn't it, helping him defending me?"
"Tch, what of it?"
"Well, I appreciate you really are defending me... but we won't hurt people... and if it's what it takes, I will stop you from doing more." Cassie said holding a hand to her chest before looking back to him.
"Is that so? Well then little sis... you really think you can compete with someone like me?"
They both stare at each other not breaking each other's gazes. Then they activated their Duel Disks together readying their Decks. Cassie spoke over to him. "I can try."
"Okay then... let's settle this little sister!" Zarc spoke as their Decks get shuffled by their Duel Disks while everyone watches.
Riley and Mokuba moved to help only for Kaiba and Declan to stop them.
"Have faith in Cassandra, she'll pull this one off." Declan told his sister.
"He's right, besides this is a family matter." Kaiba added. They both grunted before they nodding looking over to see this match.
"LET'S DUEL!" Cassie and Zarc called together.
bopdog111: The final showdown is up next.
Ulrich362: True, and the penultimate chapter of this fic. Can Cassie beat Zarc?
bopdog111: Cassie had been training hard with Ray using the Natural Energy cards as templates for something new while Zarc has enough skill to defeat even the King of Games using the Egyptian Gods.
Ulrich362: True, this duel could really go either way.
bopdog111: Next up will be Skylander vs Supreme King. We will see next time, be sure to review!
