Yugioh:Fusion of Worlds:Shadow of the Spirit World [Started/Not Accepting][PG-16]

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Itu was still unconvinced as she got up. "You still haven't answered my other three questions." She quickly tackled Bryce and pinned him to the ground. A Malefic version of Black Skull Dragon leapt in between the portal and the two, guarding his mistress. "To remind you of them, why are you doing this, why shouled I let you leave here, and why should I trust a single word you've said. Furthermore, this raises a few mroe questions: Why aren't you restored to your original timeline, sans your memories, and why do you need Cici?"

[Blackstone Dresden]

A shimmering multicolored serpentine Monster threw Malefic Black Skull Dragon to the ground and ripped the Monster in two with its fangs while Bryce simply knocked Itsu off him and stood back up, "What do you mean by 'this'?" He asked "Do you mean, why did I help you, in which case the answer would be 'because the Signers are easier to kill than Neos' or do you mean, why am I destroying or taking over any universe you visit, in which case the answer would be to save them from themselves." He held up one finger, "For your second question, you should let me leave because there's nothing you can do to stop me. I'll just kill you, leave, and revive you again. You should trust me for the reason I just stated and because I just reattached your legs and destroyed Melvin's EMP emitter." He held up two more fingers and chuckled "As for the last two, the devil doesn't have his own timeline and, well, I just don't feel like telling you why I gave X your pet."

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Itsu grinned mischievously as her arms reattached.

"Thank you for being so kind to me and letting me know all of this."

She then got up before Bryce could do anything and started to run. Before Bryce could stop her, she pressed her amulet, and disappeared...

 

((4 hours earlier...))

 

Itsu and Rayos were standing in a sunlit room with an unconscious Ilana and a supposedly dead AKI. Itsu had just handed Rayos two cards, and was preparing to leave.

"Aki has deci-"

Suddenly, in a flash of green light, ANOTHER Itsu, this one beat up and damaged, appeared.

"Pardon my intrusion, but this is urgent." Itsu 2 replied to her counterpart.

"I take it something has gone wrong?" Itsu 1 asked.

Itsu 2 stepped over to AKI and yanked off her right arm, which dropped into the black goo. A black hand rose out of the muck.

"I'll start explaining, but we need to get moving. Now. Rayos, take Aki's hand and get her out."

[Blackstone Dresden]

As soon as Itsu 2 started speaking, however, everything around her started rewinding up to the point she appeared and there was another green flash as she wound up four hours in Itsu 1's subjective future, but her subjective present. She heard a few faint clicking sounds and suddenly couldn't remember what she was trying to accomplish by going back and talking to herself from four hours ago.

 

Rayos, meanwhile, was still doubled over in agony from X separating from his subconscious. Given that Rayos was once beheaded and claimed not to feel a thing, X's separation must have been unimaginably painful for him to experience.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

((4 Hours Earlier))

 

The original Itsu, after leaving, went to Cici, and explained the entire thing.

"So, you want me to LET MYSELF to be captured?"

"Yes. The time duplicate of me explained what happened telepathically before she was pulled back into her present, 4 hours from now. She was about to tell Rayos, who is immune to our psychic abilities, as I found out the hard way in the war, but she seemed to be pulled back into her own time by some unseen force. I guess I have to let myself be captured and confirm Bryce's report before I can go back in time and continue the loop."

"So, by changing the present, your future self just created a time paradox?"

"A time paradox that just gave me what I need to stop Bryce. First, I have to make sure the events of this new timeline my future self created play out correctly, otherwise something bad will happen. But I can do a lot in four hours, even relatively."

"Like what?"

"Find the 5 Dragon Knights and make Malefic copies of them, then report their locations."

Cici was impressed. "So, what do I do when I get captured?"

Itsu smiled. "Get angry."

She then vanished.

 

((Present))

 

Cici struglled in X's grip.

"Hey! Lugnuts! I challenge you to a duel!"

[Blackwing-Master]

ooc:I forgot to mention in my old post that Stardust was reacting to Bryce's/Itsu's copy of Malefic/Sin Stardust, explaining a black glow.

IC:James looked at the card, smiled, then through it in one of his deck boxes. "Thanks. This will be put to good use, seeing as how we will need all the power we can get." James turned to Militum. "Now how did it all happen?"

"When I came up to the mountain, or the pit of it called Dragon Canyon, most of the Dragunities where under the mind control. I was able to resist using your will power, James, since we are linked as human and partner. Because I resisted, I was inprisoned, much like you and..." She turned to Battlestorm. "Who are you.?"

Gale had just woke up, flew out of the cell, and went right to James' location.

Black smoke appeared around Yubel as the orb trapping Jasmine and Drake fell. "Well done, I am impressed, too bad you wouldn't join me and Master Neos in ruling this world, boy. You would make a great solider, and because of this, I'll be back." She transformed back into her first stage then vanished."

[Blackstone Dresden]

"Thanks, Militum, your partner never really bothered to ask that, despite me saving his ass." Battlestorm said "The name's Sparrow, and no, I didn't pick it myself." He said, apparently unhappy with his name "But, hey, it's better than some of my other options."

 

"See I..." Drake panted "told you... I could... take... her" The Red-Eyes Duelist collapsed on his back, exhausted from having to reign in his powers twice in as many hours. His Duel Disk was upside down on the ground next to him, revealing to Jasmine that his remaining face-down, the one he played first but didn't activate, was his third Inferno Fire Blast.

[Blackwing-Master]

"Well, I just thought to call you Battlestorm, but ok, Sparrow. Anyways, Militum, continue."

"Well, not much else to tell really. I was set free when the guards were released from Grepher's control. My cell was one of the closer to this spot, so I ran here as soon as I was set free to meet up with you two. The other Dragunites are trying to figure out how he controled us, but no luck."

Jasmine ran to Drake. "Drake! Wake up!" She tried to listen for a heart beat. Luckily there was one. "Good, we can just stay here, so you can rest, and so the signers don't have to worry about where we are."

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Itsu looked around, trying to figure out what had just happened. She looked around in the darkness. "Hello? Is someone there?" She then started to sob. "Please! Can someone help me?!?"

 

((Would someone please play Gustaph and Onman?))

[Blackstone Dresden]

"That's because you use Dragunities and Blackwings." Sparrow explained "Didn't you ever notice that the majority of them have their names ingrained in their species. However, Monsters such as the Harpies, Red-Eyes, and Warriors, as well as several solo Monsters like myself, don't have that luxury."

 

"Did...did she live?" Drake asked groggily. He then felt Jasmine's head on his chest, listening for his heartbeat, and absently ran one hand through her hair, not fully cognizant of what he was doing "Yeah... stay here.... Sounds... nice...."

 

A remarkably familiar draconian creature walked up to Itsu, revealing itself as Bryce's shadow, "You tried warning yourself four hours in the past." The Devil supplied, "I ripped you out of time and space itself and wiped your memories of the event, though, at X's request, I left your pet's memories intact, but made it so that she couldn't possibly think of a need to tell you about the plan." He shook his head "That Shadow Droid never did appreciate the thrill of hunting prey, but by the Dragon, does he enjoy breaking his pets' wills."

 

Ally GeneX AXel, meanwhile, simply knocked Cici's forearm clear off her body with an idle swipe of his hand, sending her Duel Disk flying while her forearm flew even farther than that. "Oops." He said, his hand turning into a black liquid, which he let drip down the girl's stub, regrowing her arm, which he then took in his hand. "No pain, right?" He asked, knowing the answer would be yes, "That's because you're in my mind. I've artificially accelerated your thought processing speed, but I left your nervous system as normal so, in essence, I fixed the problem before your body even realized there was a problem."

 

Meanwhile, six shadowed Dragons and a single shadowed Machine surrounded the unconscious bodies of X and Cici, despite their Master knowing that, to them, the process would take mere moments.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Itsu and Cici both looked up at their captors, and, simultaneously, cried out. "Why are you doing this to me?!?"

 

Meanwhile, in a familiar zone just barely outside of time and space, a shell-shocked young man was still in the fetal position. "How?" Desna whispered. "How could they do this to my entire company? How could they do that to Miss Itsu? And why am I still alive when everyone around me is dead?" He started to get up, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Focus, Desna. You're the former leader of Team Rocket, and a Colonel in the C3. Miss Itsu wouldn't want you to run back to HQ crying, would she?" He straightened his uniform and wiped his eyes. "That's right! She wouldn't! Miss Itsu would want me to find help so she could be rescued!" He struck a heroic pose, then realized "But where would I find help?"

He thought for a second, then whipped out an iPad-like contraption. "Hmm...according to Itsu's logs, there's a guy named 'Rayos' in this dimension who was the basis for that X guy who took Miss Cici. He might be able to help me!"

He went over to a satellite-like gadget and activated it, punched in some coordinates, and a golden portal appeared. Desna stepped through, and appeared next to Rayos.

"Pardon my intrusion, Mister Rayos, but Miss Itsu needs your help!"

[Blackwing-Master]

James looked at him, then turned around to see Gale, flying right towards him and landed on James' head. "So we better head out. the other signers might be at the Mystic Plasma Zone." James hopped on his d-wheel and hooked up his duel disk and started driving away, Gale still on his head and Militum at his side.

Jasmine felt Drake feel her hair and jumped back in shock. She thought about slapping him, but thought about how he was

in a weak state. "She gone, not dead, but gone. My only worry is that she said she would be back. You couldn't take her in your state."

[Blackstone Dresden]

Bryce grinned and picked Itsu up by the hair and dangled her a good inch or two off the ground "I want your pet." He said, "I'm going to see how much fun I can have with you before you offer me her in exchange for sparing you further agony." He grinned maliciously and casually flicked the cyborg across the room "So, Itsu Solace, what will it be? Are you willing to die for your pet, or will you sell her to my employee?"

 

"I'm simply keeping you here, enticing you with power until our Master can convince Itsu to trade you for her life." Ally GeneX AXel said, his hands turning blue and armored, "If you agree to surrender your life to our Master and he kills Itsu, you get to live. If Itsu dies before you surrender, I'll rip you in half. If you surrender before Itsu gives you up, her life is in your hands. Obviously, that means that, if Itsu trades you for her life, and you're still loyal to her, I get to break you. Please, make sure that happens. I do so love getting to break people."

 

Rayos was unconscious on the floor of Drake's house, bleeding black blood from his ears, eyes, nose, and mouth from the psychological torment of having X ripped out of his subconscious.

 

Drake smiled as Jasmine said Yubel lived and slipped into unconsciousness for two hours, while Vulcan and Faust drove up, the former parking itself next to Drake, the latter picking him up and placing the Red-Eyes Duelist on his Duel Runner, which then strapped him in and drove off to the nearest Duel Runner, which happened to be James, Militum, Gale, and Sparrow.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Cici sneered. "Who said I was loyal to her? We had a mutual understanding. She got me out of the Underworld and to Jack, and I would do whatever she asked of me. I haven't pledged any fealty to her, nor has she asked for it."

 

Itsu was confused. "Why do you keep referring to Cici like that? Just because we work together and she takes orders from me doesn't mean she is under my control. In fact, whoever is currently keeping her under lock and key might want to consider drawing out his or her life insurance."

 

Desna looked at Rayos. "Well this is awkward." He stated. "Fortunately, I do have one little Chronodoc hypo left." He pulled a small syringe out of his coat and pressed it against Rayos' neck, then injected the silvery goo inside into Rayos' bloodstream. The grievous wounds instantly started to reverse themselves as blood seeped back into Rayos' body, and his cuts healed themselves as he lay unconscious. "There. The Chronodoc nannies should be restoring his body to five minutes before he lost consciousness, so he should be waking up right...about...NOW!!!"

[Blackwing-Master]

Jasmine watched as Drake's d-wheel drove off without him. "What!? Wait for me!" She hopped on her D-wheel and hurried to catch up with Drake and his run-away d-wheel.

James drove down a road of dirt, Gale sleeping on his head, Militum sitting on the back of his d-wheel. Looking up ahead, James noticed a d-wheel. It looked as if driving itself. When it got closer, James noticed Drake unconious on it and that it was being followed by someone else. James stopped at the side of the road and watched the two d-wheels get closer.

Jasmine looked ahead at someone on a d-wheel, which Drake's d-wheel seemed to be heading to. She stopped by it. "Your spirit's done sight seeing James?"

"Jasmine? What are you doing here?"

"I'll explain later, but right now we need to take care of Drake who fell unconious after a duel."

[Blackstone Dresden]

"Well I shall offer you the same choices, no matter your relationship to Itsu." AXel told Cici "You can swear your fealty to our Master before Itsu gives you up, ruining my fun and putting Itsu's life into your hands, you can refuse until Itsu gives you up, letting me have my fun, or you can refuse until Itsu dies, at which point I'll snap you like a twig."

 

"Why do I keep referring to your pet as a pet?" Bryce asked "Why do I keep referring to you as Itsu Solace, that is who and what you are, is it not? Why should I not pay your pet the same courtesy? Even scum such as her deserves that much." His twin Dia Dhanks glowed bright gold and grew into twin arm mounted blades, one of which he placed on Itsu's right wrist, "Do you wish to trade the life of your pet for your freedom?"

 

In a dazzling display of anti-climax, Rayos remained on the floor, unconscious, despite Desna's prediction.

 

Faust immediately locked on to Sparrow and absorbed him, causing James to flash back to Wisel's theft of Yusei's Stardust.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

((Will someone please play the two goons dueling Aki and Michi?!?))

 

Cici, realizing that the bluff she and Itsu had coodinated together a few hours eariler had been unsuccessful, accepted the deal. "I'll join you all, but here are my terms: No one lays a hand on either Itsu, Testudo, or me, especially my seal. Also, I want two promises. First, I want all of my stuff back, including my necklace. Second, you keep that sick f**k Melvin away from me, or I swear I will make sure he regrets messing with me!"

 

Itsu sighed. "You may have erased my memories of the past hour, but I do remember what I did after I encountered myself. I went to Cici, and we formulated a battle plan upon her capture. This plan, which I have copied and have been using on you, hasn't worked, so she has probably surrended by now. I submit as well."

 

Desna was very irritated. "Why won't you wake up?!?" Frustrated, and realizing that he's got nothing to lose, he leaned down and kissed Rayos on the lips.

[Blackstone Dresden]

AXel smiled and turned back to X, "Accepted on all counts but one." The Shadow Droid told her.

 

"Sadly, Cici surrendered to X before your surrender." Bryce told Itsu, crossing both his blades at her neck, "And the first term of her surrender was that she get her robe, amulet, and Spirit back. The second was your head on a silver platter." He made two shallow nonlethal cuts in Itsu's neck "I must say, quite the pet you had there."

 

Rayos didn't react, mainly because he, Elem, and Spirit had long since succombed to the backlash X's rebirth left on their bodies, meaning that their souls were completely drained, leaving only the outer husk of their skin and the black blood, in actuality their very souls.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Itsu was shocked as she backed away from the maniac with the razor-sharp dueling implements. "WHAT?!? Cici would never do that! Why would she want my head on a silver platter?!? That is incredibly out of context for her!" She pleaded with Bryce as she got up and trid to run frm him, the wounds on her neck healing instantly. "What happened to using me to weaken dimensions so that you may destroy them?!? You even told me to get the Dragon Knights, which I did! I've done nothing to provoke you, so why do you want me dead all of a sudden?!?"

 

Cici realized what X meant. "YOU MOTHERF**KERS!!!!!" She cried out in anger. The necklace she had crcked slightly as it glowed red. Several of the hexagonal markings on the seal on her back faded as her tattoos started to glow red, which her eyes did as well, becoming red and cat-like. She then rushed at X and, before he coud do anything, ripped his head off and crushed it in between her hands like a soda can before crashing back down to the ground, unconscious. The necklace went back to normal, along with the KOed Cici, now with part of the seal undone.

[Blackstone Dresden]

"You forget, using X and the sister of one of Black-Winged Dragon's dead Signers, I can backwards engineer a Shadow Droid clone of you." The cuts on Itsu's neck reopened themselves, slightly deeper this time, coming dangerously close to Itsu's carotid artery, "Come back here and die painlessly." The devil said, stalking up to Itsu, his blades setting up sparks despite the lack of floor or any solid matter in the area, before stopping and raising one hand, forcing Itsu to her knees "Your pet just murdered my Shadow Droid." He made a long sword with the Crimson Dragon's Mark etched onto its blade "This sword will simulate the effects of Cici losing a Shadow Duel. Stab her through the heart and I'll give you her powers, restrained by my will, not some cheap spells."

[Ace Daimon]

Melvin walked into the chamber to find X in pieces and Cici unconscious. "Oh lookie! It's Whorebiscuit's little pet Dark Signer! And it looks like she broke one of Bossb***h's robot toys. Oh well. At least he might want to see this." He grabbed Cici and slung her over his shoulder. "As much as I would love to hug you..." He prattled on as he took Cici with him. "...Bossb***h might want you, wherever he is." He passed another one of Bryce's henchmen, Trihsder.

"Excuse me, Mindslave, would you happen to know where Bossb***h is?"

"For the 7th time, I'm not your 'mindslave'! And he's in Cell Block 23 with that time-traveling chick."

"Thank you." Melvin put down his captive. "Now, could I get a hug?"

"I don't see why not." The oblivious henchmen replied as he neared the psychopath. Before Trihsder could react, he was sliced in two with an ancient Egyptian lightsaber.

"I love the smell of innocently-spilt blood in the morning. Don't you, pet?"

Cici didn't respond.

"Anyways, back to work." Melvin picked Cici up again and started whistling "Bad Romance" as he went down to where Bryce was.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Itsu laughed. "I'm not the power-crazed, revenge-seeking monster I was when I first met you during the War. I've changed. I want to simply fix the damage I've done, and go home to Damian. When you've spent as much time as I have hoping from dimension to dimension, the time you spend actually in the timestream adds up quickly. I've been doing this for 258.69 relative years now, and you've just put me back another half-a-millennium. Giving me the powers of an Earthbound Immortal are meaningless when I can warp the space-time continuum with an amulet that can never leave my side."

 

Meanwhile Cici was floating in an abyss.

"Wake up...Cici...wake up.....WAKE UP!!!"

Cici snapped rom full unconsciousness to semiconsciousnss and looked around to see Testudo and a giant magenta and black bird.

"Thank goodness you're alright."

"Yes. Thanks. Now let's get down to business." Wiraqocha snapped. "Cici, part of the seal has broken, allowing me to give you some of the rage and anger of the souls I have absorbed over the years. This 'Fury Mode' makes you invincible, but wears down the seal even more, and only lasts for precious seconds."

"Why are you helping me?"

"Because One: If you die, WE die."

"And Two: I...umm...uhh....."

Cici knew what Wiraqocha was trying to say, and was happy to see that her mission was working.

"I understand. Thank you."

She faded from the dreamscape for parts unknown.

[Blackstone Dresden]

"You really don't know, do you?" Bryce asked Itsu, truly stunned. His draconian shadow, which had been circling Itsu for the duration of their conversation, even stopped in its tracks, "Did you really think that sealing Wiraqocha, the Immortal that I only release as my last ditch effort for victory, would shut down the other six?" He shook his head, a motion mirrored by the dragon shadow, "No, in order to shut down the Immortals, all seven of them would be needed. That's how Endymion sealed Wiraqocha. Your pet's seal was made from my other six pets. I say was because she just broke Ccapac loose." He placed his hand on Itsu's back, right at the center of where the Condor Mark would be on Cici, "That's what I'm offering you. Not the power of one Earthbound Immortal restrained by six others. I'm offering you seven Earthbound Immortals bent to your will." The Crimson Dragon Sword flashed once, "Imagine how much faster you would be able to see your Damian if you were no longer working on just your power alone? You have been working for almost three centuries. Kill Cici and I guarantee that, using my power, you will be done in less than one hundred and fifty years."

[Blackwing-Master]

James' memory flashed back to Yusei battling the Machine Emperor the first time, then to Yusei defeating it with a Accel Synchro. After wards, James snapped out of his state of "memory searching" and looked to the d-wheel. "What the heck?" James disconnected his duel disk and ran right to the d-wheel, noticing his signer mark glowing brighter than it ever has before and burning with pain. "AH!" James fell over, concious, but unable to move from the pain corsing through his arm. "Wh..what's goin... on." James lost conciousness and fell into a state where he saw Stardust Dragon, Savior Star Dragon, Stardust Assault, the Dragon Knight, and another dragon shaped like the other Stardust counterparts, but surrounded in shadows, battling a shadow that looked as if trying to surround the dragons and destroy them.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

((If someone would please play a least one of the two fiends dueling Itsu and Michi, I will give them a rep for each duelist.))

 

Itsu smirked slightly, still hesitant in the face of her possible demise. "The Eartbound Immortals are relatively common on the worlds that I have visited. However, the Malefic monstes are a differet story. Throughout all of my searching, there have only been two other users of Malefic monsters that I have encountered. One is dead, partially by my hands." She then looked Bryce in the eye. "The other is the person I'm currently looking at."

 

Desna finally decided to hoist Rayos over his shoulder and walked out into the city, trying to find a medium or someone.

 

((Dresden, how can Desna get Rayos back to full operating status?))
