Yugioh: Fusion of Worlds: Fall of the Crimson Dragon [Accepting in OOC thread]

[Blackstone Dresden]

[color=crimson]"My Machines are done for now." Mr. Singlus told James, "You of all people should know what's coming though. I already have SK and Y FI. All I need is Spell Reactor RE and my Machines can effectively lock down your moves." He shrugged, "Unless of course I draw my other trump card, in which case my Machines will just destroy you. Painfully, as you deserve for your mistreatment of them."[/color]

"It's a big Spirit World." Ivy said, transitioning from Magicat to plain white housecat again, "Synchro Monsters, Transformation Monsters, and a few Effect Monster offshoots also came into being not long ago, but those were different. When a new classification of Duel Monster is released, the Spirit World automatically knows because it's accompanied by one of the edges of the world expanding outwards. Synchro and Transformation Monsters didn't just pop into being when they were printed, they've always been around for as long as we've been. It's just that the Spirit World is out of synch with some of its areas because the Monsters in them have yet to be revealed to this world, and they won't be revealed to this world until their zone synchs up with the rest of the Spirit World as a whole." She shook her head and curled up at the foot of Dan's bed, "These new Xyz Monsters, like your Utopia, among others, have just came into being, along with their requisite Archetypes, without any sort of synchronization between the main Spirit World and the appropriate Spiritual Plane."

[color=blue]Mark just shrugged and flicked his hand at Demon King Dragon Beelze, "Honestly, do you think I wouldn't be prepared for this crap?" He asked Vaggelis, pulling out a secondary Deck of less than twenty five cards and dropping the fifth one from the top onto his Duel Disk, "General Grunard, please, take this sword and kill that annoying Dragon." He said as the Sword of Dragon's Soul appeared in front of him. General Grunard then grabbed the sword and, his attack bolstered to 3500, used it to cleanly slice through Vaggelis' Duel Dragon, "You don't like to read your cards do you?" He asked with a smirk, "King Dragun's effect only protects your Dragons from card that target. Sword of Dragon Soul, as a point of fact, does not target. Now, Grunard, turn your attention towards his Dark Armed Dragon." As he commanded one of his Generals, he also played two more Equip Spells from his half-Deck, Metalsilver Armor and Raregold Armor, both of which molded themselves to Generals Raiho and Gantala, respectively, "Trishula, Gungnir, Brionac, make sure that Mefist and Dark Strike Fighter don't get in our way."[/color]

[color=magenta]"Perfect." Ilana said, looking through his Deck, "Plenty of Counter Traps for your Fairies, most of which are Level 4 I see. Good, that means you can put this to use." She told Jesse, materializing Number 16: Ruler of Color - Shock Ruler and giving it to her queen's new servant. "As a member of the Sun Queen's empire, you are gifted with one of my dearest Tara's pride and joys, an Xyz Monster called by her from the future."[/color]

[Kingdom Xathers]

Mid-stride, Alexander came to a sudden halt. [color=#ff0000]"Wait, what am I doing?"[/color] he thought out loud. He began to stand still, even as the invisible Cosmo Queen came ever-so closer to him, now equipped with an Axe of Fools.

"Sir!" exclaimed his Dark Magician.

[color=#4b0082]"Alex, you [*Original Yu-Gi-Oh! Life Point SFX*], what are you doing?!"[/color] shouted Umbris. [color=#4b0082]"You have to avoid--!"[/color]

[color=#ff0000]"I know what I'm doing,"[/color] Alexander snapped back in reply, closing his eyes to meditate. With his eyes closed and his mind being focused, the lombax was able to sense the Queen-by-name-only and her next action. [i][color=#ff0000]"Just a little closer...."[/color][/i] The Queen had swung her axe at that moment, its sharpen edge mere inches from his head. [color=#ff0000]"... NOW! Activate Trap Card, Dimension Wall!"[/color] With a snap of his fingers, a dimensional portal opened up in between Alexander and Cosmo Queen; her Axe of Fools, once aimed to be buried in the lomabx's skull, was now slipping into this portal along with the Queen, being thrown in by her own momentum.

"Wait, doesn't Dimension Wall redirect damage to the attacking monster's own...?" the Dark Magician began to ask.

[color=#4b0082]"Yep. Hope that guy's medical insurance covers freak Dueling accidents,"[/color] said Umbris.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, as Mark was making his counterattack against Vaggelis's monsters, Neos appeared by Luisa's side. [font=comic sans ms,cursive]"This battle should have been over by now. Doesn't help that Vaggelis is a cheat," [/font][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]commented Neos[/font].

[color=#daa520]"I know,"[/color] replied Luisa. [color=#daa520]"I thought we had his Black Ray Lancer figured out, but this... this...!"[/color] She being to shudder with anger and hopelessness. Mostly anger. [color=#daa520]"Este hijo de puta es un tramposo!!"[/color]

Neos heaved a sigh, then held out a hand to Luisa; a small orb of light shown in his open palm before dying down to reveal a card. [font=comic sans ms,cursive]"Use this, Luisa. This should stop him and his monsters in their tracks."[/font]

Luisa took the card from Neos's hand and examined it. [color=#daa520]"... wait... this is...!"[/color]

Neos nodded. [font=comic sans ms,cursive]"A good friend of mine gave that to me long ago for safe keeping."[/font]

Luisa nodded back, then turned her attention to Vaggelis. [color=#daa520]"Here goes... ... I activate the Quick-play Spell, Super Polymerization!"[/color] As soon as she activated the spell, a fierce energy radiated from her Duel Disk, shining a light on Vaggelis's cards. [color=#daa520]"With this card, I can summon a Fusion Monster by using any monster on the field as a Fusion Material, including my opponent's. So, I choose to fuse Elemental HERO Shadow Mist with... Black Ray Lancer!"[/color] A vortex opened up into which Shadow Mist jumped into, whilst Black Ray Lancer was forcefully dragged into it. [color=#daa520]"And as an added bonus, the Effects of Spell, Traps and Monsters cannot be activated in response to Super Polymerization's activation! Now, come forth again, Elemental HERO Escuridão!"[/color] The shadowy Elemental HERO returned from the portal.

At that point, the portal caused by Alexander's Dimension Wall opened up next to Vaggelis and unceremoniously spat out Cosmo Queen, Axe still in hand as she hurtled toward her master.

[Merci]

"Pffftt, you underestimate me, Moon King!" He declared. "Did you really think you could do that? [b]Purgatory Dragon - Ogre Dragoon!"[/b] The Sword of Dragon's Soul seemed to turn to dust, which then shot through the battlefield towards it, and was absorbed, turning its ATK into 3500. It needed a little while before it could negate them again, however. Beelze turned its attack to the General Grunard, to prevent it from disturbing Dark Armed Dragon. "Jeez, you're so [i]violent[/i] I wonder why on earth you're one of the good guys."

All of a sudden, Cosmo Queen suddenly randomly popped out of nowhere. The invisible axe it held should have cut through him, but instead it simply passed through him, as if he were a hologram. "What are you doing here?" Vaggelis muttered, and the invisible Cosmo Queen was transported once more to the location of the lombax Signer. He then turned back to the battlefield, and faced the Moon King first.

He then turned to the other opponent. He was quite surprised by Luisa fusing one of her Elemental Heroes with his Black Ray Lancer, but it was quite alright. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" He said. "Even though you used Super Polymerization, that Escuridao of yours . . . . are you sure it can sustain both matter and antimatter in one form . . .? Well, I guess we just have to wait and see[i].[/i]"

Dark Strike Fighter suddenly turned to Heavenly Wolf King Blue Seirios, and killed it. The spirit of Seirios then manifested and entered the body of Brionac, thrashing around inside it. Purgatory Dragon was ready to take on Gungnir and Trishula, defending Blood Mefist and Dark Strike Fighter, who was more than ready to sacrifice any Dark monster defeated in battle.

And then, in the midst of the battle, Blood Mefist rose high up, above all the others, before sending bolts of flames at Luisa and Mark.

- - - --

Cosmo Queen reappeared once more in the same location as Fenrir, the Signer, and the others. For a moment, she reflected on her past for no reason. Long ago, around fiftee thousand years ago, she was the [i]queen of the galaxies and mistress of the stars[/i], but since she was starting to become too tyrannical, her power, her [i]effect, [/i]as the card game would have called it, was stripped away. Her power, both physical and political, was stripped away. Her hold over the galaxies was broken. Nothing more than a useless, forgotten figurehead, she locked herself away in [i]her own castle[/i] for thousands of years.

And what happens when she finally decides she's over it, learned her lesson, bla bla bla, and decides to come out? She's treated like nothing by others, and then [i]enslaved[/i], that's what.

Once again she walked towards the scene, this time from behind the Signer, but this time simply decided to attack from a distance, and then shot lightning from her hands towards him, like a Sith Lord in the Star Wars movies.

[Blackwing-Master]

"Fine I draw." [i]I need to get rid of those reactors now. [/i]"Now Armed Wing, attack Summon Reactor." Armed Wing pulled out his sword and shot multple shards of light from it before slahing at the opponent's monster. "Next, Bora will attack Skiel." The bird charge towards the machine holding out it's spear and spun around.

"Well thats rather odd. I guess we can talk more in the morning, or are you gonna try to get me to do something before going to bed, like you did the milk?" Dan walked to his bed and sat down, his eyes feeling heavy.

[Blackstone Dresden]

[color=blue]General Grunard smirked, "Do you really think that my Master wouldn't have gave me a spare?" He asked, as a second Sword of Dragon's Soul appeared in his hand. The Ice Barrier General then seemed to dissolve and reappeared in front of Purgatory Dragon and swung the newly reformed sword at the Duel Dragon.[/color]

General Gantala, meanwhile, had run over to Luisa and nodded at her DARK Elemental HERO, "Fuse me with your HERO into a new Escuridão. That should counteract the presence of Black Ray Lancer in her." He told Luisa, nodding to the Scroll of Bewitchment wrapped around his waist, giving off a distinct violet glow, signalling that Gantala was now a DARK Attribute instead of his normal WATER.

"Good guys, bad guys. I've killed far too many innocent Spirits to believe that I fall into either category." Mark told Vaggelis, "I'm just a man with an insane amount of Traps." As the Moon King stopped talking, his palm flashed brightly again and an Egyptian-themed handgun appeared in his hand. Mark then took aim at Blood Mefist and fired a single shot, perfectly timed with the Fiend's own effect and redirecting it towards Vaggelis."

Meanwhile, two kids were wandering around Neo Domino's city park looking for signs of a wild animal.

[color=gold]"Why exactly did he send us out here again? He does realize we're just kids, right Chris?" Caleb asked his twin brother.[/color]

[color=silver][color=gray]"Yes, but he also realizes that we've been living out on the streets since we were 8 or 9 years old and is smart enough to know that we can take care of ourselves. Besides that, the guy that hired him to fix his D Wheel needs it done by the morning, despite the fact that it's little more than scrap metal and paperweights at this point, meaning that Drake's stuck in the shop pulling an all nighter. Again."[/color][/color]

[color=gold]"Oh, right." The Morphtronic Duelist said, kicking a decently sized rock down the path the twins were walking down, "Hellooo!" He called out, "I'm looking for whoever or whatever happened to accidentally or purposefully trash a D Wheel." He noticed his brother was giving him another condescending look, "Hey, it's worth a shot. Besides, I don't see you trying anything."[/color]

[color=silver][color=gray]"That's because my specialty is design, not implementation. Currently, you're doing both and sucking at it."[/color][/color]

[color=crimson]Mr. Singlus didn't so much as wince as his two Machines were destroyed, "Machine Imperial Soldier Skiel's effect activates. Launch, Machine Imperial Soldier Grannel!" The teacher said as the five parts of Machine Emperor Grannel fired out of Dark Flattop's hangers, reformed into their combined Machine Emperor form, and then faded down into a smaller version of Grannel, while SK and Skiel retreated back into the same place, apparently serving as both a representation of Singlus' Deck and Graveyard at once. "Is that all?"[/color]

"Not unless you have a spare ball of yarn somewhere that I could play with." Ivy said, curling around herself and using her own tail as a pillow, "Now then, go to bed. I'm sure you have something to do in the morning, and I don't want my Spirit Partner to be exhausted all day."

[Kingdom Xathers]

[color=#4B0082]"Hey, Alex,"[/color] Umbris called out, [color=#4B0082]"Her Royal Pain in the @$$ is here again."[/color]

[color=#FF0000]"Ah, jeez, again?"[/color] Despite Cosmo Queen still being invisible, Alex's meditation skills allowed him to sense her from far off, where she was standing motionlessly for a while. [color=#FF0000]"What's her story, anyway?"[/color]

[color=#4B0082]"Long story short? She had power, she abused it, she lost it, and now, apparently she's that guy's lackey."[/color]

[color=#FF0000]"Who? Vas Deferens?"[/color]

[color=#4B0082]"... okay, now I know you're just doing that on purpose. By the way, if she's here again, you may want to defend yourself. Again."[/color]

[color=#FF0000]"Already on--!"[/color] was all Alexander could say before a current of electricity ran through his body [color=#FF0000]"BZBBZBZBZBZBBBBBZZZBBZBZZLNAHSBCXHZKLZLMFAOBZBZBZBZBBZBBZZZZZ!!!!"[/color] (yeah, you get the idea).

[color=#4B0082]"ALEX!!"[/color] cried out a horrified Umbris as he watched his partner being electrocuted before his eyes. He horror soon vanished as he realized something: [color=#4B0082]"Wait a second. That's not Alex getting electrocuted."[/color]

Indeed, after a while of flailing about in an improvized Electric Slide, "Alexander's" body shattered, revealing the Toon Cat, Mimicat Doppelganger, underneath. Mimicat let off a puff of smoke from his mouth, saying, "Man, I don't get paid enough for this these days."

[color=#4B0082]"Blame the economy,"[/color] Umbris spoke up. [color=#4B0082]"Oh, wait, that's America's problem."[/color] Umbris began looking around for the real Alexander. [color=#4B0082]"Alex? Where'd you go?"[/color]

"Sir Umbris," asked the black-and-white Dark Magician, "why exactly are the two of us just standing by while Master Alexander fends for his life?"

[color=#4B0082]"... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... good question,"[/color] admitted Umbris after a very long and awkward pause. [color=#4B0082]"Grab your Magic Formula or whatever you're gonna use to fight; I'll do what I can as well."[/color]

"Of course," said Dark Magician as [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Gagaga_Magician"]an odd Magician[/url] appeared next to him, the belt around his waist having 6 of its eight outer points lit up. Both Magicians vanished in a shroud of darkness, reappearing as Sorceror of Dark Magic once the darkness ebbed away. Sorceror was equipped with the Black Pendant, while a Horn of the Unicorn was grafted to one end of his staff (4400 ATK). Umbris took the opportunity to copy half of Sorceror's original Attack Power and his Effect, then equip himself with Metalmorph (3300 ATK). With preparations completed, the two monsters were prepared to face Cosmo Queen... ... if they could find her, of course.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I draw," declared Darklord Zerato, "and I activate this Spell Card, Roll of Fate. You yourself know what this does already, so I should not have to explain it again." A large dice came out of the card's portrait and rolled on the ground until it landed on a 5. Zerato drew his five cards, then sent the next five cards of his deck to his Graveyard (Marie the Fallen One, Shadowpriestess of Ohm, Painful Return, Spirit Reaper and Fissure). "... excellent. I shall now destroy you with my full power here and now. First, since you control a monster and I do not, I shall Special Summon Bewitched Butterfly in Attack Mode ([b]800[/b]/1800), which I will then sacrifice to Summon my greatest monster, Darklord Zerato!" The butterfly erupted into a cloud of black flies, which swirled about until then formed a copy of Darklord Zerato. Both Zeratos were enshrouded in a dark aura ([b]2800[/b]/2300).

[color=#696969]"So wot? Was that butterfly supposed ter mean anything?"[/color] asked Fenrir as he stared down Zerato's copy.

"Ah, so you're aware of symbolism then? You're more refined than I gave you credit," said Zerato. "Indeed, butterflies are a common symbol of life, rebirth, tragedy and death. The butterfly I summoned was the same that Wulf used against me; it allowed him to win his battle against me." The Darklord took a moment to remove the cowl that covered the lower half of his face. "When I lost and fell, I was an Archlord. But then, Wulf gave me an opportunity to be... reborn."

[color=#696969]"A flat promise, if ya ask me,"[/color] retorted Fenrir.

"Even so, I was granted a new life, and now I shall do the same for you." Zerato discarded Sangan from his to the Graveyard. "By discarding one DARK monster from my hand, my effect activates, allowing me to destroy every monster you control. I shall sink your Warwolf into the abyss!" Copy!Darklord Zerato called forth a dark ray of light, dissintigrating Gene-Warped Warwolf where it stood. "And since I had sent Sangan to the Graveyard, I can add one monster with 1500 or less Attack Points from my Deck to my hand." The card he added was Prometheus, King of the Shadows. "Now I activate Double Summon, allowing me to Normal Summon Prometheus, King of the Shadows! ([b]1200[/b]/800) When Prometheus is Normal Summoned, I can banish any number of DARK monsters from my Graveyard to increase his Attack by 400 for each one removed. I have six, so I shall banish... all of them!" The souls of Zerato's defeated DARK monsters surged through Prometheus's body, increasing his power to three times what it was before ([b]3600[/b]/800). "Now then, mutt, any last words before I erase you from this pitiful existence?"

[color=#696969]"... a few, actually,"[/color] Fenrir said, not showing any signs of worry or dread. [color=#696969]"First, a question: weren't ya supposed ter take me ter wulf in wahn piece? next, i'd loike ter mention that the butterfly ya summoned earlier better represents ya in this duel, not me. and if ya daan't believe that, then... 'a do those bloody american's put it? ... ah, yes: Come at me, Bro![/color]

"Defiant to the end, I see. Very well, then, I shall grant to you that last request!" With that, Zerato fused with his copy and, sword drawn, rushed forward and slashed downwards upon Fenrir, who let out a sharp cry of pain as his Life Points dropped from 4000 to 1200. Despite this, Fenrir began to laugh uncontrollably. "What is the matter? Have you gone mad with the revelation that you're about to--"

[color=#696969]"Trap Card open,"[/color] Fenrir declared as soon as he could stop laughing: [color=#696969]"Damage Interest! Whenever I take Direct Damage, I can activate this... and inflict damage ter ya equal ter twice the damage I recieved!"[/color] An aura surrounded Fenrir, growing larger as he spoke. [color=#696969]"As I've said, that butterfly... represents you in this duel, not I. I won't allow myself ter be bested by some bloke who couldn't win against someone like Wulf! Quite frankly, I'm disappointed... but at least you won't around much longer to regret it."[/color] With that, Fenrir let loose all of the energy that was built up within him and fired it at Darklord Zerato's field, destroying both monsters and reducing what was left of Zerato's Life Points to zero....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[color=#DAA520]"... nah, I've got a better idea,"[/color] Luisa send as she removed the scroll from around Gantala's waist. [color=#DAA520]"You go into the Fusion Gate with Escuridão as you are. The best thing about HEROes is variety."[/color] With that, she sent the trembling Escuridão into the Gate with Gantala. Seconds later, they returned, combined as Elemental HERO Absolute Zero. [color=#DAA520]"Besides, this fusion works best with Mark's Ice Barrier monsters. Remember? Absolute Zero gains power for every WATER monster on the field."[/color] She gave a confident smile to Mark as she said this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once in the alley, away from everyone's prying eyes, the cloaked figure took a seat behind one of the dumpsters, his breathing heavy from fright and exertion.

"Y' okay, big guy?" said a voice close to him. "You didn' hurt yourself, didja?" The voice revealed itself to be the rodent Burglar.

The cloaked figure shook his head. [color=#2F4F4F]"... I-I am... o-okay."[/color]

"You's just gotta be more careful from nows on, man," said Burglar. "Good thing you's made of tougher stuff than most; dat car coulda done a bigger numbuh on ya."

[color=#2F4F4F]"...."[/color]

"Now, jus' lay low for a while, at least 'til da humans forget 'bout ya."

[Blackwing-Master]

"Almost," James said, setting one card onto the field. "Then switch Grepher to defense again. Now I'm done." [i]I thought he would put a little more effort into protecting those monsters. I wonder what this guy has up his sleeves, [/i]James thought to himself.

"That's what I was planning on." Dan said, ending with a yawn. He got under his covers and turned away from the window again."We'll work on getting you some yarn tomorrow." He fell asleep pretty quickly afters speaking.

[Blackstone Dresden]

[color=blue]Absolute Zero's ATK skyrocketed to 5500 thanks to Mark's six remaining WATER Monsters, "Master," The HERO said in Gantala's voice, appraising his new look, "If you ever pick your Moon Queen, I would like to advise you to pick this girl. She seems to be your type."[/color]

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that until we kick this guy's ass and then I'm going to sell you on the internet." Mark said, shaking his head annoyedly.

[color=gold]"Maybe he ran into an alleyway?" Caleb suggested, running out of the park and across the street to the side where Burglar and the mysterious man were, "Hello Mister weird wild animal thing! Come out come out wherever you are!"[/color]

[color=gray]"Yet again, I'M the idea guy in this family." Chris said, following his twin on his D Board, "You're still doing both our jobs and failing miserably at it. You really need to stop that already."[/color]

[color=crimson]Mr. Singlus' Speed Counters went up to 8 as he drew his card for the turn, "I activate the Speed Spell Shift Down, removing six Speed Counters to draw two cards." The ex-teacher looked at his two new cards and nodded, "I Summon Spell Reactor RE and activate Dark Flattop's effect again, bringing back Summon Reactor SK! Launch, SK and RE!" The two Reactors again shot out of Dark Flattop's hanger bay, "Now, I'll Activate SK's effect! Combine, Flying Fortress SKY FIRE!" The three Machines disassembled and recombined into a large towering robot, "Now, I'll activate Speed Spell - Salvage Mission, returning Grannel and Wisel from the field to my hand to bring Skiel back to my hand as well. Then, SKY FIRE attacks your Bora the Spear!"[/color]

"Thank you very much, Danny Boy." Ivy said, nodding off to sleep.

[wiithepeople]

A grim looking landscape was the backdrop; the foreground with the blood and dead bodies of the sparring tribes fighting for the dominance of this region. This is the Zero Dimension, home to wartorn countries at the brink of an apocalypse.

Although this was Hans' home away from Neo Domino City, and where he spent most of his childhood after the death of his parents, his caretakers, the King and Queen of this territory did their best to shield young Hans from the anger and hatred that many of their people thought of him. However as time passed, Hans proved them all wrong with his dueling skills and his battle prowess with the smaller swords they made just for him, despite his 5'6" stature amongst his 7+ foot tall comrades. Many of the fellow tribes were rather happy to see him return on the occasions ever since the rulers of the tribe appointed him to be the guardian of this dimension should any foreign tribes invade.

Turning to an open field about 5 miles away from the towering castle their friends live, a portal opens and we now see Hans and his comrade Duel Spirit, Zilch, heir to the throne of the Zero Dimension, falling through it. Zilch lands on his feet with ease. Hans wasn't so lucky, landing flat on his back.

"[color=#4b0082]Oh, it feels good to have my physical form back![/color]" Zilch wasn't completely exuberant with this, but because he and his partner haven't returned to the Zero Dimension for quite some time, he had his reasons for being so excited about coming back.

As they were walking by, they noticed an old friend of theirs, Zero Halberd, on the ground and bleeding. In the distance, they saw a rather squat figure running away.

"[color=#4b0082]Halberd![/color]" Running to his side, Zilch ran towards him as fast as he could.

"[color=#2f4f4f]O, my future king and thy too, guardian of this world, I am grateful thee could return in a fashion as timely as this. As it stands, I was slain by that dreaded figure. I knew I should not have charged so. How could I be so foolish?[/color]"

"[color=#4b0082]You couldn't have known. We will avenge y-[/color]"

Hans interrupted, attempting to speak but remembering that he couldn't due to his inability. He instead picked up Halberd, moving him towards Zilch, then turned Zilch in the direction of the castle.

"[color=#4b0082]Are you sure? All by yourself? Very well. Certainly Halberd and I could make it.[/color]"

Hans nodded. Then he left in a flash, running after the squat figure.

"[color=#2f4f4f]What strange bravery enhancement did he taketh?[/color]"

"[color=#4b0082]I'll explain everything on our way to the village.[/color]"

------—-------

It didn't take long for Hans long to catch up to the perpetrator, [b]Plaguespreader Zombie[/b], and tackling him to the ground. The undead figure roared at Hans. All Hans did in response was lift his Duel Disk. Plague grunted at this and raised his right arm, mutating it into the shape of a Duel Disk. Words weren't needed for this battle, both duelists were ready to win at all costs.

[Blackwing-Master]

James laughed to himself before revealing the last card in his hand. "Really? You forgot about this already? You even pointed it out before on my first turn. Now, by discarding Kalut the Moon Shadow, I can increase Bora's attack my 1400, making him ust strong enough to take on your SKYFIRE. Now Bora, counter attack!" Once surrounded by a white glowing aura, Bora spun around into a spear shape and charged right towards SKYFIRE. "Is that all from you for now?"

[Blackstone Dresden]

[color=crimson]Mr. Singlus started laughing manically as his Life Points dropped to 3200 and SKY FIRE retreated back to Flattop's hanger bay, "Or maybe I just wanted you to use Kalut on SKY FIRE and get it out of the way." He told the Signer, "I can easily revive SKY FIRE and my Reactors thanks to Dark Flattop, but my Machine Imperial Soldiers cannot be revived so easily. SKY FIRE is off the field for a single turn and I lose 1000 Life Points. In exchange, your Kalut has been taken care of and can't strengthen any more of your Blackwings." He gave James a mocking smile, "Nice move, you probably just won me the game. I end my turn."[/color]

"We'll see about that. My turn, draw!" He smiled at the card he drew. "I can special summon this card in my hand when I have a Blackwing monster on the field and since I have two, take flight, Blackwing Gale the Whirlwind. Now, this little guy may not look like much, but he has the power to half the attack and defense of one monster on your side of the field. Since you only have one monster, Dark Flattop is now half ti's original power. Next, since discord is finally gone, I can tune Dark Grepher and Gale to Synchro Summon Backwing Armor Master. Now I'll have Armed Wing attack Dark Flattop, and Armed Wing gains 500 attack when attacking a defense position monster." Armed Wing's sword started glowing as Armed Wing slashed towards the opponents monster. (If no response) "Now Armor Master and Bora, finish him off!" Armor Master punched to opponents d-wheel and Bora spun around in a spear shape crashing into thwe opponent's d-wheel as well.

[Rhykotsu]

Rhykotsu blinked. What just happened? He had faded out of the scene for a second; all of the attention on him had left. To the images of the other onlookers, he had merely disappeared and didn't come back...atleast, until just now. "[b]What just happened?[/b]" He asked. D.D. Warrior Lady, a well-traveled girl, answered, "[b]Your writer...RP'er was busy.[/b]"
"[b]What?[/b]"
"[b]Er, nevermind.[/b]"

Dark Valrkyia facepalmed, Evocater Chevalier coughed, and Rhykotsu blinked again as he noticed that the whole place had changed. The bigass Darklord had fallen to some...dude with a funny accent. Someone had been electrocuted...what? "[b]Urp. Uh...crap. I don't know what to do,[/b]" "[b]...we did miss out on a lot of plot-heavy stuff[/b]" Dark Valkryia commented offhandedly. "[b]..what!?[/b]" "[b]Ignore them.[/b]" Evocater Chevalier cut in. "[b]...someone's here.[/b]" A deeper, more stern voice appeared out of nowhere.

Then, the Phoenix Gearfried Rhy had set flip summoned itself. "[b]Yeah, no sh#%, Sherlock.[/b]" Valrkyia replied. "[b]Hey! Don't be so mean to my mentor![/b]" Evocater Chevalier said, clearly annoyed that the larger knight had just taken the insult. "[b]No. Someone else...ah. It's coming back...[/b]" Cue flashback of Phoenix Gearfried's past...the time where he was forced to put on a suit of armor that destroyed any equip cards he was equipped with, for his power was too great. (Gearfried the Swordmaster and Gearfried the Iron Knight, respectively)

Due to his past, he could 'feel' the presence of any equip card on the field...as a Duel Spirit, anywhere a reasonable distance. "[b]There![/b]" He pointed behind Rhykotsu. "[b]Go! Trap card, Kunai with Chain![/b]" Rhykotsu activated his trap, Evocater Chevalier equipped it, then used his power to throw it where Gearfried pointed. "[b]GO![/b]" The two fire-knights roared.

TL;DR = Evocater Chevalier is going to destroy Cosmo Queen's camo/invisibilty.

The blast of Mefist hit Vaggelis, but before it could hit him, the blast seemed to be devoured in darkness, which then took on the form, of Kaien, the token of Gorz. Gorz itself, though, was still hiding in the shadows somewhere . . . quietly circling around the field, intending to attack its opponent directly!?

Before General Grunard could destroy the Purgatory Dragon, Dark Highlander revealed itself in front of the Duel Dragon and caused the Equip Spell to shatter, and explode right in General Grunard's hands. Meanwhile, Dark Armed Dragon and Adreus - King of Armageddon prepared a blast that would nuke the entire field. For the moment, Blood Mefist was down, but it wasn't out.

Dark Strike Fighter quickly called Exploder Dragonwing, Colossal Figher and Stygian Sergeants to it. . . before converting them into dark needles, which it then sent at Luisa, as it was she who controlled the strongest monster on the field, Absolute Zero. If the needles connected, she and her Omni Heroes would be out of the way, bam!

- - - - - -

Cosmo Queen had been more than ready for combat, especially with its secret weapon unbeknownst to the others, [b][i]Megamorph[/i][/b], which corresponded with who was winning. If it sensed she had the advantage, then it would drain half her strength, but if it sensed she was at a disadvantage, then it would DOUBLE it instead (ATK 5600) Then all of a sudden she was chained, while invisible. [color=#ffffff]It sort of resembled tentacle porn, only with chains instead of tentacles.[/color]
She broke free of the chains using the doubled power given from Megamorph, but the equip spell that made her invisible . . was destroyed, revealing her presence to everyone in the area. Forced to 'improvise', using the power from Megamorph, she thrust her arms in the air, and commanded lightning to strike the area.

[center][center][b]Plague[/b] took the first move. It almost looked like it had a smile on it's face, cooing with excitement.[/center][/center]
[center][center] [/center][/center]
[center][center]As Plague played his first card, a bolt of lightning struck the ground between Plague and his opponent, [b][color=#800000]Hans Nadal[/color][/b], as a dark figure rose from the ground from where the bolt of lightning struck. He had summoned to the field "Zombie Master" ([b]1800[/b]/0). After doing so, Plague sent a card in his hand away to the graveyard and Special Summoned a monster to the field. As he did this, his Zombie Master lifted it's hands in the air, sending another bolt of lightning crashing down to the ground. This time, a small, squat figure rose from the ground, bearing the exact identical look as it's user as "Plaguespreader Zombie" ([b]400[/b]/200). Plague (the duelist mind you) roared in jubilee as his Level 2 Plaguespreader tuned with Level 4 Zombie Master.

As the row of stars and tuning circles turn into a ray of light, a cloaked figure with a large skull marking on his chest revealed itself from it. The Revived King Ha Des ([b]2450[/b]/0) had arrived!!

Plague's nearly emotionless face morphed into a sinister, near toothless grin. He set 2 cards face-down and ended his turn.

[Rhykotsu]

Rhykotsu's grin faded when the chains broke down. "[b]Oi! Play by the rules![/b]" He demanded, pointing at the Cosmo Queen. He didn't know who she was, or who she used to be, her being so old. "[b]You can't just break a trap using raw power! That's against the rules![/b]" The snow-white frowned and crossed his arm. "[b]Cheaterface.[/b]" Dark Valkryia was face-palming, Evocater Chevalier was battle-ready, and Phoenix Gearfried started explaining.

"[b]In the Duel-Spirit world, things make sense. It's more realistic. You can break a Shadow Spell with raw willpower, or Gemini Soldier and I could destroy a Blue Eyes White Dragon if we both attacked. Something like that.[/b]" The large knight explained.

"[b]So nothing's stopping me from pulling Dark Hole out of my deck?[/b]" Rhykotsu asked.

"[b]If you do that, you die, too.[/b]"
"[b]Oh. But card effects still work to an extent.[/b]"
"[b]Yeah.[/b]"

Notice this conversation was taking place while Gemini Soldier, appearing out of sheer need to protect Rhy, was blocking Cosmo Queen's attack with his measly 300 defense. Thank god once per turn he couldn't be destroyed. "[b]Eh? SOLDIER! WHAT ARE YOU-[/b]" Rhy yelled, clearly panicked by the fact that Gemini Soldier wouldn't be able to tank much more. "[b]SUMMON TUNED MAGICIAN! SUMMON HER NOW![/b]"

Rhy nodded and Tuned Magician popped out of his deck. As he summoned her, he paused.

"[b]Wait...it's a girl?[/b]"
"[b]YES! NOW SUMMON![/b]"
"[b]Right.[/b]"

Tuned Magician made her appearance, then Rhykotsu flipped summoned all of the monsters he'd been hiding; Superalloy Beast Raptinus, Chthonian Dragon, White Dragon Capulus, and Black Brutdrago. "[b]TOGETHER, WE CAN WIN! EVERYONE, GO FOR AN ALL OUT ATTACK![/b]" The large group of Geminis charged, the dragons taking the front. "[b]GO! Spell, Supervise! Spell, Big Bang Shot![/b]" He equipped Supervise to Phoenix Gearfriend, and Big Bang to Evocater Chevalier. During the charge, of course. "[b]YEAAAAHH!![/b]"

So, the monsters charging at Cosmo Queen all at once, are:
D.D. Warrior Lady (Why don't I get any lines? :l )
Gemini Soldier
Phoenix Gearfried
Evocater Chevalier
Dark Valrkyia
Superalloy Beast Raptinus
Black Brutdrago
Tuned Magician
White Dragon Capilus
Chthonian Dragon
Future Samurai

...Cosmo Queen is gonna get curb-stomped if she doesn't get backup (which she probably will).

[center][center][color=#800000][i]That Revived King can't be taken down by monster effects, and his two face-down cards could be anything at this point. I guess there's no use in trying a full-scale offense against him now, so I guess I'll just go on the defensive side[/i][/color], Hans thought to himself.[/center][/center]

[center][center]Hans drew his sixth card and much to his liking, it was a card he truly appreciated. As Hans played his first, a white halo-like object appeared in the sky, which dropped down a small wooden toy of what resembled a launcher.

[center][center]Plague drew his next card, though the wasn't happy with it. [color=#800000][b]Hans[/b][/color] could easily tell that it wasn't the right time for it. He instead summoned the horse-headed demon, Mezuki ([b]1700[/b]/800). Then by sending the last card in his hand to the top of his deck, he brought back the same dreaded mirror image of himself, the Plaguespreader Zombie (400/[b]200[/b]) He then roared once again as he tuned his Level 2 Plaguespreader with his level 4 Mezuki.[/center][/center]

Hans activated a face-down that would be the undoing of his opponent, Zero Regimen! The trap card gave off a sort of black energy, forcing Trebuchet to grow to a massive size and gain its 3000 DEF!

[color=#4B0082]"LOOK OUT!"[/color] Umbris shouted out as Cosmo Queen's lightning storn rained down around him, Sorcerer and Rhy's monsters. The Neo-Spacian charged right towards the tyrantess, dodging lightning bolts with some ease. Taking his cloak, Umbris transmogrified it into a large fist and launched it at Cosmo Queen, full-force.

Meanwhile, Sorcerer of Dark Magic erected [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Anti_Raigeki"]a strange device made of bone which, for some reason, looked like it could be a lightning rod.[/url] This "lightning rod" began to redirect some of the bolts to itself, absorbing the charge. Still, there were many more bolts to deal with....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Confident that they were getting the upperhand for once, Luisa's almost did a double-take when Dark Strike Fighter began launching numerous needles in her direction. Keeping as calm as possible, Luisa yelped and pulled out another Trap Card: [color=#DAA520]"Activating Hollowed Life Barrier! By discarding a card in my hand to the Graveyard ((she discarded Hero's Signal as she said this)) , I can negate any damage to be done to me, including from your Dark Strike Fighter's effect!"[/color]

Just as the needles reached her general area, the three Priestesses of Waboku appeared by Luisa and Mark's side, conjuring up a barrier around both duelists; the needles that were going to hit Luisa were now bouncing off of the glowing bubble that she now stood in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[color=gold]"Hello Mister weird wild animal thing! Come out come out wherever you are!"[/color]

"Ah, jeez!" Burglar blurted under his breath as the cloaked figure looked around for the source of the voice. "Look's like I was wrong 'bout da humans not lookin' for us. Jus' stay still and don' make a--" The rat would have said the word "sound", except that a very loud sound had cut him off before he could finish his sentence; The cloaked figure had attempted to run off again, and he had managed to knock over two aluminum trash cans and a recycling bin in his haste.

[color=#008000]"Hey, that was my summer house, you jerk!"[/color] shouted a voice from one of the trash cans.

"Eh, stuff it, ya old grouch!" Burglar shouted back as he ran after his partner.

Meanwhile, in an unknown location....

Jenis awoke to find herself laying sideways on a cold, damp cement floor. The Lightsworn Mender gingerly got up, her head feeling slightly puffy, and her abdomen felt as though someone had punched her--

A short gasp escaped her lips as she remembered what had happened before she blacked out. She looked around at her surroundings: pitch-dark everywhere except for an empty table next to her and a lone lightbulb above, supplying the only light in the room, though not much of it.

[i][font=times new roman,times,serif]"How could this be happening?"[/font][/i] she thought to herself. [i][font=times new roman,times,serif]"... why would Wulf--?"[/font][/i]

"Oh! Looks like you're finally up, suga'." Jenis gasped and spun around to find herself looking into the eyes of Nurse Reficule, who was now sitting on the table that was empty just a few seconds before. Jenis began to back up slowly. "Don't worry your pretty little head too much, sweetheart," Reficule said, a small smile showing through the bandages wrapped around her head. "I won't hurt you. I'm just here to "baby-sit" you for a while until Wulfy gets back." At that moment, the rest of the room suddenly lit up, revealing that the two women were in a bizarre operating room of sorts. You know, the kind you would find in horror movies/games.

Jenis backed into something, though what it was she couldn't tell at first because she was still focused on Reficule. She turned around to find a testtube filled with a strange, green fluid... and the severed head of [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Chaos_Emperor_Dragon_-_Envoy_of_the_End"]a once-powerful dragon[/url] floating within. Jenis could not help but to shriek in terror.

"Oops! Sorry you had to see that!" Reficule giggled nervously as she pushed the testtube into a secret compartment. She then turned to the trembling Mender. "Shhh-shhh-shhh. Hush, sweetie, hush now, it's all right, the head is gone now," she said in an oddly gentle, reassuring voice. "My goodness, you are quite the screamer, aren't you? And I haven't even gotten ready for what I have planned for us."

[font=times new roman,times,serif]"Wha... what...?"[/font] Jenis stammered as she backed away again, this time bumping into the table. [font=times new roman,times,serif]"What... what have you planned?!"[/font]

"Well, Wulfy said that I couldn't [i]hurt[/i] you, but he never said that [i]anything else[/i] was off-limits." Reficule began to approach Jenis, giggling a bit before continuing, "You see, if you're going to be with me for a while, I may as well have a little... [i]fun [/i]with you." Placing a hand on the shivering Jenis's cheek, Reficule slowly leaned in close, so close that her lips were ,at most, only a couple millimeters away from the Lightsworn's ear.

"Go through that door behind you," whispered the Fallen Nurse, "and see how far you get before I... ...." Reficule leaned away, hand still on Jenis' cheek, and looked the Lightsworn in her eyes before giving her a wide slasher smile.

Jenis had all she could handle. Pulling herself away from Reficule, she ran around the table and pushed through the door that Reficule had pointed out.

Reficule giggled some more as she sat down on the table once again. "Oh, I just [i][u]love[/u][/i] it when they run...."

[metaleaddy]

Suddenly, a duelist erupted from the sky, and fell to the ground in front of a small house in the Duel Monsters Spirit World. He was then dragged inside by Mystical Sand.

-----

"Wake up! It's time to wake up you moron."

Travis woke up and charged at the witch. Instead, he was stuck to the floor he stood on.

"Oh yes. I forgot to remove the adhesive tape. It gets rid of any weak monsters who barge in. Koitsu especially. But I found you lying there, and I didn't want to let a human die and become another nuisance."

"Who are you?

"Mystical Sand. What do you want, mortal."

"How did I end up in here? Why are Duel Monsters TALKING TO ME?!". Travis panicked and ran off, panicky as ever.

"They never learn...".

[wiithepeople]

[center][center][color=#800000][i]Now all I have to do at this point is draw my monster to use for Trebuchet's ability.[/i][/color]

Hans drew his next card, giving off a slight twitch of the cheek in disbelief. It was likely that he didn't get what he wanted. But not even Hans himself can figure out his own mindgames. They just come about. For all that Plague knows, he may think he still has his opponent on the ropes, but Hans was having other ideas.

Hans summoned to his field "Zero Slasher" ([b]0[/b]/0). A white halo similar to what Trebuchet had fallen out of had appeared, this time dropping a doll replica of what looked like a knight wielding a double-edged sword. Immediately afterward, he activated a spell from his hand: "Unleash Your Power!", causing his Slasher to be imbued in black energy, forcing it to grow much larger than what it was ([b]1600[/b]/800).

Hans reached for the sky as his Level 2 Zero Slasher tuned with Level 4 Zero Trebuchet.

** + **** = {******}

A large white halo came from behind Hans as another slightly larger figure flew from it. It was the heir to the Zero Dimension's throne "Prince Zero, the Elemental Force" ([b]0[/b]/0).

After the rather anti-climatic Synchro Summon, Hans set the rest of his cards face-down and ended his turn.

"Tch," Vaggelis muttered. "Alright, time for a little detour I can't do in the game." He then took out a deck, the deck that embodied 10% of his power . . . which then suddenly thinned greatly. Dozens of Dark monster spirits wailed as their spirit was converted into energy by Dark Armed Dragon and turned into orbs for Adreus, and then consumed. Vaggelis did the same with three other decks, the ones that embodied his 20%, 30%, and 40%. Dark Armed Dragon and Adreus King of Armageddon both looked at Luisa, and then began firing continuous balls of destruction at her, like two never-ending cannons

Gorz had managed to get to the other side without being detected at all whatsoever. It was a hard task which took a long time, but Vaggelis had managed to keep them occupied for a long enough while. It was now only a small distance behind Luisa . . . in fact, it was within her shadow. It did not risk attacking right there and then, however. . .

Cosmo Queen had sent a Raigeki spell on the large army of Duel Spirits gathered around her, but due to the Sorcerer of Dark Magic, who she had once heard of, she failed to destroy them all. She decided that there was no way around it, she had to fight and destroy them all, one by one, if she even hoped to get close to the target Signer.

After all, if you control Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and your opponent controls five monsters with less ATK than Blue-Eyes, no matter how many monsters are suicided into the Blue-Eyes, they will never destroy it, instead ending up only taking the damage resulting from it, one big negative.

A magical aura surrounded as she prepared for a mini-war, and slowly advanced towards the lombax Signer.

Nora stepped out of the limo, accompanied by her strange gas-masked goons. [color=#ffa500]"I apologize for that little delay, Miss Jasmine, but I had to take care of something." [/color]She told the girl. [color=#ffa500]"Now, how about you follow me, and we can get this Duel underway." [/color]She walked off towards a wide, open area of the box-filled dock, this one with several cranes positioned overhead. Suddenly, two of the goons, who had been behind Nora and Jasmine, broke off, and headed for the cranes. They quickly climbed up into the operators' seats, and positioned the cranes' claws to pick up two shipping containers, one in each crane. The cranes then swung around so the end of one was directly above Jasmine, and the other over Nora. They then moved the shipping containers overhead. [color=#ffa500]"This game is rather simple. Each one of us has a huge shipping container dangling over our heads. As our Life Points decrease, the containers will lower until they hit 0, at which point the loser's container will release and crush her.

Jasmine abandoned her d-wheel and followed the lady who had driven the limo, after seeing what she had planned to keep Jasmine there, she said, "I I was planning on running away, I would have done it before you got out of the limo. Now, I guess I'll take the first turn. Draw! I activate the effect of the Harpie Queen in my hand. By discarding her, I add Harpie's Hunting Grounds to my hand.
