The time has come for Judai, Sho, and their friends to come face to face with their true enemy! After this chapter, the Kaiser Arc's climax!
Yugioh: The Hope of Six
Chapter 43: Kaiser Arc – Part 15
The instant he felt the life force of both Amon Garam and the Three Phantasms, Devil Kaiser knew his plan had succeeded. The enormous energies that entered his body completely reenergized him… and he was reveling in it. "Yes! Finally! My back up plan worked perfectly! After all those insufferable delays, my full strength has at last returned!" He grinned maniacally as he stared into the card that transferred the power he needed. "Now at last, my revenge is within my grasp." Devil Kaiser raised his head up and laughed: "Here I come, Sho Marufuji!" With that statement, his body became a mass of dark white light before it streaked it's way out of the cavern, toward it's destination.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"How long are they going to be stuck inside that thing?" Chronos demanded, clearly concerned for everyone still trapped within the white energy dome.
"I'm guessing not much longer. After Makoto and Shoji came back, the only ones left in the Domain of Destruction on their side were Captain Echo and Amon Garam. No one on Judai Yuki's team as been defeated, at least not as far as she knew." Reggie answered him. "Once one side has defeated all their opponents, the remaining survivors should return." As much as Reggie hoped her superior would make it back, her desire for Fubuki Tenjoin to return to her was much stronger. 'Fubuki…'
"I do hope you're right, Commander MacKenzie." Chronos said.
"You and me both." Emi said with a deep sigh. She then looked over at her two "patients". Both Makoto and Shoji still felt pain from their respective Duels and near death experiences. When they reappeared in the arena, one at a time, Emi treated their injuries. Both of them were very reluctant at first, but once Reggie made it clear that with Captain Echo unavailable for the time being, she was in charge. "How are you two feeling?" She asked the men.
"It hurts less now." Makoto said, feeling where he was bandaged. He still couldn't believe he survived this crazy ordeal. What's more, he was invited to join the Cyber Pro League the Marufuji brothers were working on. Makoto still wasn't sure if he would do it, but he was actually considering the possibility.
"I'm fine." Shoji huffed arrogantly. He hated being treated like he needed to be "babied" as he elegantly put it. He hated the fact that his little brother had kicked his ass in their Duel even more. Though, he still couldn't get over what his younger brother had said before they were separated. Did Jun truly care about him, even after his older brother tried to outright end his life in that Domain? He couldn't comprehend it.
"That's good enough for me." Emi replied with a small smile.
Suddenly, all the occupants were distracted when a streak of dark white light zoomed over their heads and vanished into the dome. "Momma Mia!" Chronos shouted in shock, falling comically on his butt.
"What the hell was the that?!" Shoji demanded.
No one had an answer. They were shocked even more when the dome instantly changed to black as night and was covered with dark bolts of electricity.
Reggie got a seriously bad feeling about this and feared for those still in the Domain. She felt like death was coming for them… and it would not be denied.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
Judai stood there for a long moment, feeling great sorrow for Amon. He knew the guy was gone. Nothing he saw indicated Flame had managed to save him. Amon may have been his enemy, but all the guy really wanted was his little brother to be okay again. Now it was up to Judai himself to fulfill Amon's last wish. As soon as he escaped from this place and got his hands on that serum he heard about, he would make a beeline for Amon's place and revive Shido. He just prayed it would work.
He then saw that the Three Phantasm cards were nowhere to be seen. He guessed that their power was also taken along with Amon himself. Perhaps it was just as well. Maybe this would be the last time he would have to fight them. As his thoughts returned to getting out, he scanned the arena floor properly for the little device that would send everyone home. He quickly found it… in a hot, melted mess. Judai cursed. 'Crap! It must have melted when the Phantasms attacked Amon! How are we going to get back now?!'
"Calm down. Remember Judai, Dr. Zweinstein and Misawa said they had been working on an alternative method of sending us back." Yubel reminded him.
'I remember that, but they said they needed a more "positive" energy source to pull it off.'
"With all the Duels over now, they just might have the opportunity to find it." Judai hoped she was right as he made his way back to the others.
"Don't tell me. Amon is dead, isn't he?" Judai asked before anyone could say anything. Zweinstein and Misawa both nodded.
"It was just confirmed. The power from the Three Phantasms was just too much to keep at bay. Amon could not be saved." Misawa said. Judai nodded before looking down.
"You okay?" Sho asked. Judai smiled a little.
"Yeah bud. I'm good." He then looked back down. "Can't say the same for Amon though, can I?"
Asuka put a hand on her boyfriend's shoulder. "Don't blame yourself, Judai. Amon did this to himself. This place is what killed him, Echo, and David Rabb. You did what you had to do to survive."
"We all did." Johan told him as he looked over at Gloria, Yuri, Masumi, Edo, Ryo, and Manjome. They all nodded in agreement. "A few of us got more beat up than the others, but we all made it. Now we just need to get ourselves back home."
"About that. Amon's gizmo got fried when he got taken, so there goes plan A. Any luck with plan B?" Judai asked.
"Well, we just might have an idea." Misawa said as he turned to Serena, who smirked.
"I'd say we do." She replied.
"What is it?" Judai questioned further.
"While you were still on the arena floor after your Duel, Daichi and I talked about getting the positive energy we need for the dimensional transporter. That was when our "mystery friend" in the control console gave a suggestion." Dr. Zweinstein then motioned towards the indigo haired girl, who picked up from there.
"He thinks we can use this." Serena said, showing her bracelet.
"How can your bracelet help?" Kenzan asked.
"If we can figure out how to access the natural dimensional energies in Serena's bracelet, we might be able to reverse the transportation process that brought us here…"
"And get us back home!" Rei finished for Misawa.
"When they asked me if I would allow it, I said to go for it. Anything to get us back to Duel Academy." Serena said strongly, sounding more than ready to leave this damn place.
"Alight then, let's do it! Since all the Duels are done now we shouldn't have to worry about…" Before Judai could say what they shouldn't worry about, something happened that made everyone more than a little worried.
Above the arena, a huge white hole swirled and swelled into existence. It soon grew to be as big as the rock the survivors were on. Then bolts of black lightning began shooting down in random spots around the arena, leaving big scorch marks. "Oh man! What now?" Manjome complained.
"A white hole?!" Zweinstein said in surprise, never having seen one himself with his own eyes.
While this was happening, both Sho and Ryo felt something from their respective cards.
'My cards… they are pulsing again! What could this mean?' Ryo thought to himself
Sho felt a strong pulse once more from the Cyber Dragon cards in his box. This one was a different pulse from during Ryo's Duel with Makoto. 'This doesn't feel the same as before. Could it be a warning?'
As the gang observed, out of the white hole came the biggest bolt of black lightning of them all. It struck the very center of the arena with a loud crash. The impact actually caused the entire rock to shake violently, knocking everyone off their feet. A thick cloud of smoke covered the impact zone, making it impossible to see inside. A moment of silence passed without anyone saying a word. Though the smoke was thick, a shape began to form from where the lighting bolt had struck. It seemed like the shape of a person, down on one knee.
While Judai and the others were trying to see who, or what, was inside, they heard a new sound from within the impact zone: Laughter. It was unlike any laugh ever heard by anyone. It sounded cold, cruel, and perhaps inhuman.
"Guys… a serious chill just went down my spine." Fubuki said shakily.
"What could it possibly be?" Samejima asked, feeling extremely nervous himself.
"I'm really not liking this." Edo said, feeling cold sweat run down the back of his neck.
"Is someone really in there?" Sho asked.
After a minute, the laughter stopped. The silence became very eerie, putting everyone one edge. The kneeling figure slowly got to his feet as the smoke remained too thick to see through. No one dared to move or say anything. The figure then spoke in a dark, unfamiliar voice. "Yes. That was quite an entrance, if I say so myself. Wouldn't you agree… Judai Yuki?" A pair of glowing black eyes appeared through the smoke, scaring the group.
The young Duelist gapped at the mention of his name. "Uh… do I know you?" He asked rather nervously while blinking. The figure chuckled.
Suddenly, Ryo somehow got the feeling he heard that voice before. But where? He couldn't quite recall it.
"In a way. And so does your naïve best friend. In fact, he should know me better than anyone among your pitiful little band." Sho felt all eyes pressed on him.
"Sho, what did he mean? Who is that freak?" Serena asked him, who only shook his head.
"I don't know." The former Obelisk Blue Duelist turned to the unseen figure. "Who are you?! Show yourself!" The figure chuckled again.
"I was really hoping you would be the one to ask, Sho Marufuji." The figure then spread his arms out. "Behold! The face of your worst nightmare!" Devil Kaiser declared as a strong gust of wind blew away the smoke covering him. He could now be seen clearly, sickly pale in his black outfit. The evil being smiled with sick pleasure in seeing the group's reactions.
Judai, Sho, and everyone else stood in horrified shock. Eyes saucer wide, jaws dropped, and completely speechless. No one believed what they saw standing before them.
"What… the… hell?" Manjome said shakily.
"Am I… seeing things here?" Grace asked.
"It can't be." Gloria said, looking from Devil Kaiser to Ryo and back again.
"Are you kidding me?!" Rei said in absolute disbelief.
"There's no way!" Yusuke said.
"It's got to be some kind of trick! It just has to be!" Fubuki said, not willing to believe what his eyes were seeing.
"Is this another Ryo from a different world or what?!" Masumi exclaimed, not able to wrap her head around it.
"Dunno. I'm really stumped on this one." Yuri said.
"What is going on here?" Asuka asked.
"Beats the heck out of me." Judai told her, unable to take his eyes off the impossible sight.
"Who is he?" Serena questioned, not really buying what she was seeing.
Sho couldn't find a single word to say. What he saw before him rendered him unable to utter a single word. 'What… What am I staring at? Why does that guy look like my brother and his counterpart?' The answers eluded him.
Devil Kaiser laughed at Sho's expression. "What's the matter, Sho? Haven't figured it out yet?" Before Sho had a chance to reply…
"I-It's you!" Ryo exclaimed, fully recognizing him. He berated himself for not doing so just by hearing his voice. Now everyone turned to him.
"What?! Ryo, you've seen this guy before?!" Judai asked him, surprised further. Ryo frowned deeply.
"While I was trying to help Makoto, I had… a vision I guess. A vision of him, staring right at me. He seemed just as stunned to see me as I was to see him. When I tried to find out who he was, the vision abruptly ended and I found myself back here. I have no idea why that happened."
"Why didn't you mention this earlier?" Gloria demanded. Ryo shook his head.
"I didn't know what I was facing or anything, or if it was even real. I thought it better to not bring it up until later… especially not with Sho here." Ryo replied as he glanced at the shocked Sho.
"Tell us who you are and what you want with Sho!" Serena demanded angrily as she stood by Sho protectively. The villain still smiled like the demon he was.
"I am Devil Kaiser, and I have some unresolved issues with the younger brother of the recently deceased Ryo Marufuji." He said while pointing at the young man. Sho understandably flinched when his brother was brought up.
"What issues? How are you involved in all this? And why the hell do you look like Ryo?" Fubuki questioned. Devil Kaiser left the first and last questions unanswered.
"How am I involved? Why, I'm the one that put this whole event in motion to begin with!" This unsettled everyone.
"You what?!" Kenzan said.
"All this happened because Amon wanted to revive his little brother! That had nothing to do with you!" Judai retorted. Devil Kaiser shook a finger him.
"Not true. I was the one that came up with the plan to revive Shido Garam from his coma. Except… it was all a lie. Amon was just too stupid to realize that."
"A lie?! Then there is no serum to wake him up?" Grace asked.
"No. I had to give Amon hope of getting his brother back so that he could help me with my "true" plan. A plan which he was never aware of."
"What true plan?" Edo demanded.
"While my own "personal" mission has not changed. I have been given a much bigger assignment. It suits me fine, since my mission coincides with it anyway." Devil Kaiser revealed the truth. "I was chosen to eliminate Judai Yuki and everyone associated with him here at Duel Academy, by any and all means necessary."
"Kill everyone?!" Masumi shouted, not believing what she just heard.
"How?" Rei questioned.
Devil Kaiser chuckled. "With my "special" card, I can cause the dimensional transporter's energy to implode, vaporizing you people here and everyone back on that pathetic island of yours! Everyone and everything on it… gone in a explosion equal to that of a nuke!"
"That's insane!" Asuka said. She can't imagine the horror of such an act.
"Who told you to do that?" Judai asked.
"Your old friend... Lightning." His answer shocked everyone.
"Lightning?!" Manjome and Kenzan said in unison.
"The Ignis that tried to kill us all on Astral's Airship?!" Gloria added.
"He knows we're all alive?!" Grace said.
"No way! How did he find out?!" Judai demanded to know.
"His abilities are greater than you understand. It was through his power that he found and brought me into the fold to destroy you all. Part of the mission was to make sure all of you are at Duel Academy for Dr. Zweinstein's experiment, which as you know was manipulated by Ryan Stevens." Devil Kaiser said with demented glee. "Everything that has happened has done so according to "my" master plan."
Judai then thought of something. "It was you wasn't it? You attacked Shido and had Echo try to frame me for it!" Devil Kaiser chuckled.
"Wrong again. I had absolutely nothing to do with what happened to the brat. He was already like that when I first met Amon at his home; that was all Echo herself."
"Then what really happened?" Asuka asked.
"While I had no hand in Shido's condition, I did give Amon the means to avenge his little brother. The means to defeat you, Judai." Devil Kaiser said, refusing to answer about Shido.
"The Three Phantasms!" Judai shouted, learning what he was getting at. 'He's the one Amon mentioned earlier! His "benefactor"!'
"Yes. I used my power to break the seal far below and took the cards from their resting place. Unfortunately, the process left me very weak. I suspected that would happen. I couldn't risk confronting you all myself until I regained my full strength, which was where Amon, Echo, and the others with them came in..."
"Emi and Chronos! You were the one that brainwashed them!" Asuka realized, outraged.
"Indeed." Devil Kaiser confirmed. "Shortly after we arrived here last night, I lured that moron Medici into a trap, defeated him in a Duel, and made him join my cause. I then had him do the same to that stupid nurse. Once they were both my pawns, I had all I needed to recover. After that, I gave them the tools to do so, aside from Chronos that is."
It was Edo's turn to put two and two together. "The Legendary Planet cards came from you!"
"That's right, Edo Phoenix. While your father was influenced by the Light of Destruction to create Destiny Hero Bloo-D, it also gave him the inspiration to create those very cards. Not long after he finished the Legendary Planets and stored them away, he was murdered… leaving you an orphan in the care of the very man that took his life. How ironic." Edo sneered and shook with anger. Devil Kaiser continued. "After telling Amon that those cards were necessary, he instructed Echo to find them and bring them to me."
"How did you know about the Legendary Planets to begin with?" Yuri inquired. "I get the feeling you didn't exist at the time."
"I had a source that informed me of the cards' existence: The Light itself! It was from the Light of Destruction that showed me the Domain of Destruction, our current battle ground, and helped me set everything up for the moment of my grand entrance!"
"Then you were created by the Light? But I thought it was sealed away!" Judai stated.
"The Light of Destruction had nothing to do with my birth, Judai. I had merely been given a sample of it's power…" Devil Kaiser said as he felt a pulse from a jacket pocket, where his own cards resided. "All the Duels that took place here was for the sole purpose of reenergizing me, and those cards were the conduits to transfer the defeated Duelists' life force to me. They would only work if they were used in this special place, which was why Amon had to force you all to come here. I had to use a card of my own for Chronos, who didn't have a Legendary Planet." The villain then growled. "But the process was delayed because the energies I needed didn't come to me like they should have. The only ones I had taken were David Rabb, Echo, and Amon… as well as the Three Phantasms. I infected that demon trio with the Light to act as a "back up plan" in case my main plan didn't work properly."
Flame chuckled silently, still out of sight, knowing he was the reason that freak didn't get fully charged right away.
"So those creepy tentacles we kept seeing throughout the Duels… they all came from you?" Rei asked.
"My "special" card, actually." Devil Kaiser said as he patted the pocket where said card was kept. "I had to get more "involved" when the first two Duels didn't recharge me as much as I would have liked."
"What about the hand that took Echo?" Asuka questioned. Devil Kaiser shrugged.
"That I don't know about, Asuka Tenjoin. I had taken her life force, but her dark soul somehow eluded me." That was all he could say on the matter.
"Devil Kaiser! How were we able to see each other that time?!" Ryo demanded to know.
"I don't know that either. The card I was using resonated the moment you tried to save that fool, Makoto."
Ryo then recalled something else. His Deck glowed when he started pulling a tentacle from Makoto. 'Did my Cyber Dragons somehow sense Devil Kaiser's presence and showed him to me?' He wondered.
Devil Kaiser looked around. "I must say, I'm surprised that none of you who dueled have perished here. Judai and that "other" Ryo I expected to survive, but the rest of you? I'm honestly impressed." Devil Kaiser then focused his attention on Sho. "Still have nothing to say, Sho Marufuji?" He asked in a mocking tone.
Sho could not find his voice during the entire discussion. He was still flabbergasted by the fact that this, this inhuman creature, bore a strong resemblance to his dead brother. Once being asked, Sho finally snapped out of his shocked silence and gave the only questions that still mattered. "Tell me, Devil Kaiser! What are you?! Why do you look like my brother?!" Devil Kaiser threw his head back and laughed.
"Ah yes, the key questions have finally been brought up by one of my intended victims! Do you truly wish to know? Then come here, Sho. Find out for yourself… in a Duel!" He materialized a Duel Disk on his right arm, made from his own dark energy. "Face me now! If you want a chance to get your friends back to your world, then you have no choice but to accept and win!"
Sho hesitated. That thing was challenging him of all people to a Duel. Why?
Whatever it's reasons were, Ryo strongly felt he couldn't let Sho face that monstrosity. "Leave him be, Devil Kaiser! I will duel you instead!"
Instead of simply saying "no", Devil Kaiser lifted up his left arm, held out his hand, and sent out an invisible energy burst directly at Ryo. The force of it knocked him back hard against the dimensional transporter console. He slid to the floor, breathless. This shocked everyone.
"Ryo!" Gloria shouted, quickly checking her fiancée. "Are you hurt?" Ryo shook his head.
"No, I'm okay. But that blow… knocked the breath out of me." Gloria glared at the being that attacked the man she loved.
"Bastard! How dare you?!" Devil Kaiser moved his hand toward her now.
"That was a warning. He already interfered with my plans once. I will not allow it to happen a second time. If he should try to get in my way again, the next attack… will be a lethal one. And you will be welcomed to take the blow with him." He warned.
"Gloria… don't." Ryo told her firmly, convincing her to stand down. Gloria cursed Devil Kaiser spitefully. Ryo then groaned in pain when he tried to move. He definitely wasn't going to get up again for a little while.
With his point being made, Devil Kaiser refocused his attention on the younger Marufuji. "Now then, Sho. Do you accept my challenge? Are you prepared to face your destiny?"
Sho looked back over to the hurt Ryo, then to Yusuke and Fubuki. The latter two looked totally apprehensive. Clearly they didn't want their friend to duel Devil Kaiser anymore than Ryo did. But Sho didn't want anyone else to get hurt… not because of him. He knew what he had to do. With his mind made up, Sho faced Devil Kaiser.
"There is no need for you to attack anyone else! I will duel you, Devil Kaiser!" He boldly declared. His enemy looked extremely pleased to hear that.
'Excellent. His fate is all but sealed now.'
Before Sho got out his Duel Disk, he finally took out the box that contained his brother's cards. He knelt down, opened the box, and removed all it's contents. Sho smiled down at the cards. 'Time I put you back where you are meant to be. Also, I have a feeling I'm going to need your help for this.' Next, Sho took out his Deck and Extra Deck. He then shuffled all the Cyber Dragon cards into both Decks, completing them again, plus adding a little something special. Something neither he, his brother, or even the alternate Ryo had before…
Judai and nearly all the others were surprised by this. "Sho? Were those your Cyber Dragon cards? Why were they in that box?" Sho looked back at his best friend as he inserted both Decks into his Duel Disk, which he strapped on to this arm.
"I'll tell you later. Right now…" Sho fully turned to the direction of the arena. "I have a Duel to win." He didn't even move a few steps before Judai stopped him by grabbing his arm. "Judai, don't try to…"
"Two things pal." Judai said, cutting Sho off. His expression was his most serious ever. "First and foremost, I'm not letting you face that psycho on your own. Not a chance."
"But you saw what he did to Ryo!" Sho argued. "I can't let you get hurt too, or worse! And you still haven't recovered from your Duel with Amon!"
"Actually… I'll allow it." Devil Kaiser declared, surprising the pair. "I don't see why not. This way, I can kill two birds with one stone. So both of you will have the privilege of dying before me." He said with a wicked chuckle.
"Welp, you heard him. It's the two of us against him now. Besides, I have plenty of fight left in me. I'll be okay." Judai said. Sho seemed incredibly reluctant, but he gave in.
"I guess so. What was the second thing you brought up?" Sho asked. Judai perked up.
"Oh yeah. I think you should have this." He took out his own Deck and looked through it until he found a certain card he was looking for. He then gave the card to Sho, who was shocked upon seeing it.
"Judai! Why are you giving me this? You might need it more than I do!" Sho pleaded. Judai just smiled.
"My gut feeling tells me you'll need it for this one. Trust me. When the time comes, I'm sure you'll know how to use it."
"Big bro." Sho muttered softly before he nodded. "Thank you. I won't let it go to waste." He said before shuffling Judai's card into his Deck.
"Good to hear." Judai said as he too prepped himself for the Duel.
During their chat, Serena came to a decision of her own. Ever since Devil Kaiser appeared, her bracelet had begun blinking in a steady pace… like the rhythm of a heartbeat. She was the only one to notice. 'Why is my bracelet acting like this? I thought it would only react to Zarc's presence. But he isn't here, I know that much. So what else could it be?' She held up her bracelet towards where Devil Kaiser was standing, and saw that the blinking purple light became brighter. Serena realized her bracelet was trying to tell her something… something the evil being may not want to share. 'I see. Whatever Devil Kaiser is hiding, it has to be important. I've got to find out what it is. And there may be only one way…' She then turned to Judai and Sho. "Hold it! I'm dueling too!" She loudly as she too put on her Duel Disk.
Even Devil Kaiser couldn't hide his surprise. "She also wants to get involved?"
"Say what now?" Judai asked, stunned by this.
"Serena! What are you doing?!" Sho asked urgently. "You have to stay out of this! I'm not letting you risk your life here!" Serena wouldn't hear of it as she walked up to the pair.
"I'm not asking. Something tells me I have to fight with you. And Sho…" She held him by the shoulders and stared fiercely into his eyes. "Don't forget that I'm strong too. You saw it yourself when we dueled. I can handle myself. Let me do this and help."
"But Serena…" Sho started but faltered. Of all people to help him go up against Devil Kaiser, Serena was definitely the one person that was not on his list. He did not want her to go out there with the possibility of dying. Also, Devil Kaiser most likely would not permit it like he did with Judai. Once more, he was taken aback by the enemy's actions.
"If your new girlfriend wants to die fighting me alongside you and your best friend, then why not? It would make my victory so much sweeter." Sho couldn't help but blush a little from that.
"She's not my…!" Serena interrupted him before he could finish.
"I have no intention of dying, Devil Kaiser! My only goal here is to help Sho and Judai kick your ass!" Devil Kaiser chuckled.
"I think I'm going to enjoy this." He muttered to himself as he inserted his Deck and Extra Deck into his Duel Disk, eagerly waiting for the battle to get started.
"Then it's settled." Judai declared.
Sho, who still didn't agree with Serena's sudden decision to fight, had no choice but to give in. "Alright. Serena, please watch yourself. We don't know what he can do." Serena nodded with a smile.
"I'll be fine, and I have no doubt Judai will be. You're the only I'm really worried about." Sho appreciated her concern. With that, Judai, Sho, and Serena all entered the arena to confront their final opponent.
"Good luck… all of you." Ryo said softly.
"Be careful you guys!" Asuka called out.
"Beat him good so we can get out of here!" Fubuki added fervently.
"Same here!" Yusuke added.
"Don't your dare lose to him Judai, or you'll never hear the end of it from me!" Manjome said to his rival.
"You can do it!" Kenzan said.
"Win!" Rei called out.
"We believe in you!" Johan and Grace said.
"Don't let your guard down for a second!" Gloria and Edo cautioned.
"Be safe up there." Samejima said, hoping the trio would succeed.
"I can only hope they will survive this ordeal." Dr. Zweinstein said.
"So do I." Misawa told his mentor. Flame also wished his friends to win and not die. Like always, he was standing by just in case the unthinkable happened. If they lose Serena, they may lose their last chance of returning to their world. He truly hoped it wouldn't come to that.
Devil Kaiser grinned maliciously as his three opponents now stood before him. Sho stood in the middle, with Judai on his right and Serena to his left. All three then activated their Duel Disks. "Whatever you are, whatever reason you're really here, my friends and I will stop you!" Sho bravely declared.
"You will try." Devil Kaiser replied as he too activated his Disk, starting the final battle in the Domain of Destruction.
"DUEL!"
To be continued.
