Chaos Universe: The Unknown Past Ch. 1 - 56 (Chapter 47: The Lion, the witch, and the Duel!) has arrived

[Haou Devil 12]

Chapter 25 is finished. Please read and comment.

[ragnarok1945]

having him win a 5 on 1 duel just seems unnatural.

Still, it was nice to see him win again.

[Haou Devil 12]

Here's Chapter 26 everyone. Enjoy.

Chapter 26 (Click to View)

After hearing Haou's message throughout the land, the gang jumped into action, so they went off to find the resistance along with the other students. And then...

"Whoa!" said Cody as he fell.

"You okay?" asked Rein.

"Yeah. I tripped on something." said Cody. "Huh? Hey, look at this."

"A secret door." said Rein.

Rein and Cody both pulled the chain attached to the door and it opened and everyone went inside and closed the door.

"Where are we?" asked Rachel.

"It looks like a tunnel and it might have secret passageways if we look around." said Rein.

Then a voice shouted...

"Go, "Celestia, Lightsworn Angel"!" shouted a voice as it summoned a monster.

"Look out! Go "Elemental Hero Neos"!" yelled Cody as he summoned Neos.

("Neos?" thought the voice.) "Wait, stop! Forgive me. I thought you were one of those Phantom Darkwing monsters." said the voice.

"That's okay." said Rein. "Hey, are you part of the resistance?"

"Yes, I am. My name is Ehren. I am one of the Lightsworn people." said Ehren.

"Nice to meet you." said Rein. "Can you take us to your leader?"

"Yes, of course." said Ehren as she showed everyone where the resistance is.

Everyone followed Ehren to the giant area of the tunnel where they met up with the leader and the rest of the resistance.

"Ehren, what is the meaning of this?!" yelled a voice. "Bringing unknown people to this place. They could be enemy spies."

"I..." said Ehren all scared. "Master Garoth they're not enemy spies. I assure you."

"You're still too naive!" said Garoth as he raised his hand.

Garoth was going in to hit Ehren, until Rein blocked him and punched him in the jaw making him fall.

"(grunts)" said Garoth. "Why you..."

"Instead of trying to hit your subordinate, shouldn't you be focusing on the problem at hand?!" yelled Rein.

"How do I know that you're not just some Darkwing monster using a spell to hide your true face?!" asked Garoth.

"Fine. Since you can't trust me, I'll just convince you." said Rein as he took out his Duel Disk. "I'll make a deal. We duel and if I should win, I should gain your trust and you let us help you in this war to take down Haou."

"(smiles) Heh. Very well." said Garoth. "And if I should win, then..."

"Then no one else but me gets to become your prisoner." said Rein.

Everybody was shocked at what Rein said. Especially Cody, Rachel, and Alice.

"But dude..." said Cody.

"I'll be fine." said Rein. "Just remember, we're here to rescue Nick and the others. Besides, this is what Nick would've done for everyone."

"(sighs) Alright." said Cody. "Go get him, Rein!"

"Enough talk!" yelled Garoth as he readied his Duel Disk. "Let us begin."

Duel!
Rein/ 5 cards/ LP 8000
Garoth/ 5 cards/ LP 8000/ Deck: 75

Rein: Turn 1
I draw. I play the spell "Lunar Call", this card lets me Special Summon 2 LV4 or lower "Lunar" monsters from my hand, Deck, or Graveyard, so I Special Summon from my Deck "Lunar-Wolf-Hurricane"(LV4/WIND/Beast/Effect/ATK/1700 DEF/1200) in Attack Position and "Lunar-Werewolf-Gust"(LV4/WIND/Beast-Warrior/Effect/ATK/500 DEF/1950) in Defense Position. Next, I play the spell "Double Summon", so I can summon twice this turn, so I summon "Lunar-Swordsman-Tempest"(LV4/WIND/Warrior/Effect/ATK/1100 DEF/1000) and "Lunar-Wolf-Drought"(LV4/EARTH/Beast/Effect/ATK/1200 DEF/1700) And since they're all on the field, they all get their effects. (Garoth says: I see. So you're a Lunar Duelist then? And judging by how you summoned 4 "Lunar" creatures to the field, I must say you're quite skilled. However, I still think you're working for that demon Haou and you plan to tell him where the resistance is.) Guess I still have to convince you more, huh? I activate "Lunar-Werewolf-Gust"(s) effect, once per turn, I can return a monster on the field to the owner's hand, so I return him to my hand for later. (Rein: Hand: 3) I play 1 card face-down and end my turn.

Rein/ 2 cards/ LP 8000
Garoth/ 5 cards/ LP 8000/ Deck: 75

Garoth: Turn 2
I draw. I summon "Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid"(LV3/LIGHT/Beast-Warrior/Effect/ATK/1200 DEF/1800) Next, I play "Double Summon", so I can summon again. And I summon myself, "Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior"(LV4/LIGHT/Warrior/Effect/ATK/1850 DEF/1300) Now "Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior" destroy his "Lunar-Wolf-Drought". And since "Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior"(s) ATK are below 2000, your monster is destroyed. (Rein counters: Not quite. I activate the Continuous Trap "Lunar Barrier". First, this card negates your attack and second, by removing from play 1 "Lunar" monster in my Deck, the Battle Phase ends.) Smart move. Hiding behind some cresent moon. I play 1 card face-down and end my turn. Now the effects of "Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid" and "Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior" activate. "Aurkus"(s) effect lets me send the top 2 cards from my Deck to the Graveyard. (Deck: 72) And thanks to "Garoth"(s) effect, each time cards are sent from my Deck to the Graveyard by the effect of another "Lightsworn" monster, I can send another 2 card from the top of my Deck to the Graveyard. (Deck: 70) And I can draw 1 card for each "Lightsworn" monster sent to the Graveyard by this effect. And since there were 2, I draw 2 cards. (Garoth: Hand: 4/ Deck: 68) Now I Special Summon "Wulf, Lightsworn Beast"(LV4/LIGHT/Beast-Warrior/Effect/ATK/2100 DEF/300). Since he was sent from my Deck to my Graveyard, I can Special Summon him. Now onto your turn.

("He did all that on his End Phase?" thought Rein. "He must be a really skilled "Lightsworn" warrior.")

Rein/ 2 cards/ LP 8000
Garoth/ 4 cards/ LP 8000/ Deck: 68

Rein: Turn 3
I draw. (Rein thinks: This card is... Thanks man.) I activate the spell "Gift of Forgiveness". (Garoth says: I knew it! You are working for Haou!) No I'm not. To be honest, this card was given to me by a friend before he got captured by Haou. I'll never forget his sacrifice. Now "Gift of Forgiveness"(s) effect activates, by paying 1000 LP (Rein: LP 7000) you discard 3 cards (Garoth: Hand: 1) and I draw 3 cards. (Rein: Hand: 5) Now I play the Field Spell "Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise" Now all Beast-types, Beast-Warrior-types, and Warrior-types gain 200 ATK & DEF, including your "Lightsworn" monsters. ("Lunar-Wolf-Hurricane": 1700 + 200 = 1900 ATK/ 1200 + 200 = 1400 DEF) ("Lunar-Wolf-Drought": 1200 + 200 = 1400 ATK/ 1700 + 200 = 1900 DEF) ("Lunar-Swordsman-Tempest": 1100 + 200 = 1300 ATK/ 1000 + 200 = 1200 DEF) ("Aurkus": 1200 + 200 = 1400 ATK/ 1800 + 200 = 2000 DEF) ("Garoth": 1850 + 200 = 2050 ATK/ 1300 + 200 = 1500 DEF) ("Wulf": 2100 + 200 = 2300 ATK/ 300 + 200 = 500 DEF) Now I activate my field's effect, I tribute "Lunar-Wolf-Hurricane" and "Lunar-Swordsman-Tempest" to Fusion Summon "Lunar-Guardian-Tempest"(LV6/WIND/Beast-Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK/1900 DEF/2100) And he gets a power boost. (1900 + 200 = 2100 ATK/ 2100 + 200 = 2300 DEF) Now I activate his effect, once per turn, I can return 1 card on the field to the top of the owner's Deck, so I choose you spirit card "Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior". (Garoth: Deck: 69) Next, I play another "Double Summon", so I summon "Lunar-Werewolf-Sand"(LV4/EARTH/Beast-Warrior/Effect/ATK/1950 DEF/500) and "Elder Wolf"(LV4/LIGHT/Beast/Effect/ATK/800 DEF/800) They both get power boosts. (1950 + 200 = 2150 ATK/ 500 + 200 = 700 DEF) (800 + 200 = 1000 ATK/ 800 + 200 = 1000 DEF) Now I activate my field's effect again, so I tribute "Lunar-Wolf-Drought" and "Lunar-Werewolf-Sand" to Fusion Summon "Lunar-Guardian-Desert"(LV6/EARTH/Beast-Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK/2400 DEF/1600) And he gets a power boost. (2400 + 200 = 2600 ATK/ 1600 + 200 = 1800 DEF) Now "Elder Wolf"(s) effect activates, all Beast-type and Beast-Warrior-type monsters on my field gain 400 ATK & DEF except "Elder Wolf". ("Lunar-Guardian-Tempest": 2100 + 400 = 2500 ATK/ 2300 + 400 = 2700 DEF) ("Lunar-Guardian-Desert": 2600 + 400 = 3000 ATK/ 1800 + 400 = 2200 DEF) Now "Lunar-Guardian-Tempest" destroy his "Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid". (Garoth counters: I activate the Continuous Trap "Lightsworn Barrier" Now by discarding the top 2 cards in my Deck to the Graveyard, (Deck: 67) I can negate your attack.) In that case, "Lunar-Guardian-Desert" destroy his "Wulf, Lightsworn Beast". (Garoth counters: I can negate your attack again. (Deck: 65) Now I activate "Lunar-Guardian-Desert"(s) effect, once per turn, I can draw 1 card from my Deck. (Rein: Hand: 2) I end my turn.

Rein/ 2 cards/ LP 7000
Garoth/ 4 cards/ LP 8000/ Deck: 67
Field: "Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise"

Garoth: Turn 4
I draw. I know my spirit card was sent to the Graveyard so I could protect my monster, but there's always a way to bring him back. I summon "Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner"(LV3/LIGHT/Spellcaster/Effect/ATK/1000 DEF/1000) Now I activate her effect, once per turn, I can Special Summon 1 LV4 or lower "Lightsworn" monster from my Graveyard by discarding 1 card from my hand (Garoth: Hand: 3), so I Special Summon back myself "Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior"(LV4/LIGHT/Warrior/Effect/ATK/1850 DEF/1300) (Rein says: Big deal. I've seen enough of your ugly face already.) Why you despicable little... (grunts) I play 1 card face-down and end my turn. Now my "Lightsworn" monsters effects activate, "Aurkus" let's me discard 2 cards from the top of my Deck. (Deck: 62) "Garoth" lets me draw 1 card since a "Lightsworn" monster was discarded and lets me discard the top 2 cards of my Deck. (Garoth: Hand: 4/ Deck: 59) And "Lumina" lets me discard the top 3 cards of my Deck. (Deck: 56) And one of them was another "Lightsworn" monster, so "Garoth" allows me to draw another card. (Garoth: Hand: 5/ Deck: 55) (Garoth thinks: It's a small price to pay, but each card discarded gets me one step closer to drawing the mighty dragon.)

Rein/ 2 cards/ LP 7000
Garoth/ 5 cards/ LP 8000/ Deck: 55
Field: "Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise"

Rein: Turn 5
I draw. (Garoth counters: I activate the Continuous Trap "Glorius Illusion", when this card activates, I can Special Summon 1 "Lightsworn" monster from my Graveyard in face-up Attack Position, so I Special Summon "Celestia, Lightsworn Angel"(LV5/LIGHT/Fairy/Effect/ATK/2300 DEF/200) (Rein thinks: Man! It's no use what I do. We're both at a complete stalemate. Wait, this card is...)

Flashback:

("Hey Rein. If you're gonna duel one of the resistance, then take this card." said Cody.)

Rein acquired "Elemental Hero Wildedge".

("My Deck isn't just filled with Neo-Spacians." said Cody. "Oh and take this card too.")

("What's this card?" asked Rein. "I've never heard of it.")

("Nick created it to go great with my Elemental Heroes and I'm sure it'll go great with your Lunar Deck along with Wildedge." said Cody.)

The story continues:

Rein/ 3 cards/ LP 7000
Garoth/ 5 cards/ LP 8000/ Deck: 55
Field: "Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise"

Rein: Turn 5 (cont.)
(Rein thinks: Nick, you have card for any situation don't you? Alright, let's go!) I activate the spell "A Hero's Will", when this card is activated, I can select 1 monster on my field, then I can select 1 "Elemental Hero", "Destiny Hero", or "Evil Hero" in my Deck or Fusion/Extra Deck and the selected monster gains the selected "Elemental Hero", "Destiny Hero", or "Evil Hero"(s) effect until the end of the turn, so the monster I select is "Lunar-Guardian-Desert". (Garoth says: But you have no "Elemental Hero" monsters in your Deck.) Not in my Deck, but in my Fusion/Extra Deck, so I select "Elemental Hero Wildedge"(s)(LV8/EARTH/Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK/2600 DEF/2300) effect, which allows him to attack every monster on your side of the field. (Garoth says: No!) Now "Lunar-Guardian-Desert" (ATK: 3000) attack all of his monsters. (Garoth counters: I activate "Lightsworn Barrier"(s) effect, so I discard 8 cards to negate all of your attacks. (Deck: 43) Now "Lunar-Guardian-Desert" attack them again! (Garoth says: What?!) Just because you negated his attacks the first time, it doesn't mean "Elemental Hero Wildedge"(s) effect stops there. (Garoth counters: Then I discard 8 more cards. (Deck: 35) Keep attacking, "Lunar-Guardian-Desert". (Garoth counters: You won't get through! (Deck: 27) We'll see! Attack! (Garoth counters: We'll see indeed! (Deck: 19) (Garoth thinks: No! One of the cards I discarded was the mighty "Judgement Dragon"(LV8/LIGHT/Dragon/Effect/ATK/3000 DEF/2600) (out loud) You made me discard my only chance of winning this Duel!) Oh did I? I never noticed. Keep going "Desert"! (Garoth counters: No Way! (Deck: 11) Just a little more. (Garoth counters: No! (Deck: 3) Now finish off that barrier! (Garoth counters: Impossible! (Deck: 0) Since your barrier is out of the way, I can attack with all my monsters. First, "Lunar-Guardian-Desert" destroy all of his monsters. (Garoth: LP 2850) Next, "Lunar-Guardian-Tempest" attack him directly. (Garoth: LP 350) Now "Elder Wolf" finish this!

Rein: LP 7000/ Winner
Garoth: LP 0/ Deck: 0/ Defeated

"(groans) Impossible." groaned Garoth. "I never landed one attack on you."

"Wait, how come you haven't turned into your spirit card?" asked Rein.

"Up on the surface, the darkness that affects people in a Duel when they lose turns them into their spirit card, but since we're underground the darkness can't get to us." explained Ehren.

"You! Rein, was it?" asked Garoth.

"Yeah?" asked Rein.

"It appears I was wrong about you and your friends, so I'll let you and your friends help us in this war." said Garoth.

"Alright!" yelled Rein.

"But tell me, what is the reason you want to fight alongside us besides defeating Haou?" asked Garoth.

"(sighs)" sighed Rein. "Because a friend of ours was captured by Haou. Ever since then, a few more of our friends were captured as well. We know we can't take them on alone, so we ask you to help us so we can get them back."

"I know your pain, young one." said Garoth. "We too are fighting to release our people from Haou. We'll do whatever we can."

After a few hours, the resistance army went up to the surface and got ready for, including Rein and the others. The army consisted of the Lightsworn people and also the Elemental Heroes, Destiny Heroes, Six Samurai, and any other tribe willing to help. As soon as they got to the border to Haou's Castle, they saw a giant battalion of Darkwing fiends.

"Haou! We've come back to end your Reign and free our people!" shouted Rein. "If you don't show yourself right now, I'll consider it an act of surrender!"

Everyone was cheering on Rein for the words he said. Then meanwhile in Haou's tower...

"Sire, I have came to inform you of..." said a Darkwing.

"I have already heard him." said SDK. Nick. "That will be all. Ready the troops for the battle."

"Yes, your majesty." said the Darkwing as it walked out of the tower.

"All my hard work has now led me to this." said SDK. Nick. "I've dirtied up these hands ever since my rise back to power. So, Rein you're coming here to face me one on one in this decisive battle. Hmph, you're as brave as you are foolish that is why I accept your challenge. Heck, I welcome it. (snickers) Heh, ha, ha, ha. (laughs maniacally) Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" laughed SDK. Nick as he walked out the balcony.

Haou walked to the balcony and yelled to the heavens...

"AND SO THE BATTLE BEGINS!!!" yelled SDK. Nick to his army.

Card of the Day: "Lunar-Guardian-Desert"

Now that Rein and the resistance are working together, the time to stop Haou is now! "Next Chapter"! The war gets underway. During the battle, the gang is going to bust into Haou's castle but they run into trouble along the way to Haou's tower. When Rein finally gets there, they both get ready to Duel. Will Rein and the others win the war, or will they fall against the mighty power of the Supreme Devil King? Find out next time. Until then, KEEP ON DUELING!!

[ragnarok1945]

that's more like it, and I enjoy this chap, hope to see the duel's outcome soon enough

[Haou Devil 12]

Hey, Ragnarok did you check out Volcan's new Fan Fic?

[ragnarok1945]

Haven't had a chance to until now.

I'll go look right away.

[Haou Devil 12]

Chapter 26 is updated. Please read and comment.

[ragnarok1945]

meh, only 1 turn progress.

It's good, but not long enough for me to see what will happen.

[Haou Devil 12]

Chapter 26 is finished. Please read and comment.

[ragnarok1945]

ah, and so the battle will begin in haou's tower. This I look forward to.

[Haou Devil 12]

Here's Chapter 27 & 28 everyone. Enjoy.

Chapter 27 (Click to View)

The war against Haou has now begun.

"I have an idea." said Rein. "We can use our Field Spells to our advantage. Just place them on one spot of your Monster Card Zone and the effects will do the rest."

"You heard him." said Garoth. "Do what he says."

"Yes, sir!" said his army.

"Now on my command... CHARGE!!!" yelled Garoth as they ran towards Haou's castle.

The entire army charged with anticipation and courage. And they did what Rein told them to do. And they also placed some other cards to help with their fighting

"ATTACK!!!" yelled SDK. Nick as his army ran and flew towards the resistance.

The Darkwing army charged with a yell saying.

"YES, YOUR MAJESTY!!!" yelled the Darkwing monsters as they charged.

And so the battle raged on. (quote: Just so you know, the way this battle is taking place, they're using their Duel Disks for weapons and their LP are their ATK and they represent their Life. If their LP go down to 0, they turn into their spirit card and their spirit card, along with the other cards that they use, are placed on their Duel Disk as the Duel Disk drops to the ground.)

"I summon "Shien's Footsoldier" (ATK: 700)" yelled Yariza. "And I equip myself with "Legendary Ebon Steed" which raises my life as well. (Yariza: LP 1500)"

"(LP 2100) Hmph. Nothing but a weakling." said a Darkwing fiend. "Take this."

The Darkwing fiend punched Shien's Footsoldier thereby destroying it and causing 1400 points of damage to Yariza. (Yariza: LP 100) But then its effect activated.

"Thanks to his effect, I Special Summon "The Six Samurai - Yaichi" (ATK: 1300)" yelled Yariza. "Now I summon "The Six Samurai - Nisashi" (ATK: 1400)"

"Oh no." said the Darkwing fiend.

Both Yaichi and Nisashi attacked the Darkwing Fiend and its LP hit 0.

"Yes!" yelled Yariza until... "(grunts) (LP: 0) No way!" said Yariza as he turned into his spirit card.

"Heh. (LP: 1200) Weakling." said another Darkwing fiend. "We serve only his majesty."

Just then...

"(howls)" howled a monster.

"What the... AAH!" said the Darkwing fiend as it was attacked. "(LP: 0) What are "Lunar" creatures doing here?" said the Darkwing fiend as it turned into its spirit card.

"To save our people." said Rein.

"Then you'll have to get by us! (Both: LP 2100)" yelled 2 Darkwing fiends.

"I Fusion Summon "Lunar-Guardian-Desert" (ATK: 2400)" said Rein as he summoned his monster.

"NOO!!" yelled the 2 Darkwing fiends as they were attacked. "(Both: LP 0)"

("This is taking too long." thought Rein.)

Rein retreated back to where Garoth and the others are.

"Look, it'll take like hours, or days to get to the enterance, so I got an idea." said Rein. "Alice and Mikey do both of you have your "Egg Barrier" Trap Cards?"

"Yes, but why do you..." said Alice before just realizing it. "Oh! I get it."

"I don't." said Mikey.

"Okay. Listen carefully." said Rein. "Both of you summon your "Dragon of Many Eggs" and we ride on them over the Darkwings."

"But what about the Darkwings that are flying in the air?" asked Mikey.

"That's why we need your "Egg Barrier" Trap cards." said Rein. "They'll form a protective shield around the dragon while we're riding it. And no matter how much they throw an attack at us, they'll just be tiring themselves out."

"Now I get it." said Mikey. "You're a good strategist."

"Alright, let's do it." said Rein.

Alice and Mikey both summon their "Dragon of Many Eggs" and everyone got on and they went flying.

"Look, a flying target." said a Darkwing fiend. "Prepare to fire on my mark, 1..."

"2..." said Rein.

"3!!" yelled Rein and the Darkwing fiend.

"FIRE!" yelled the Darkwing fiend.

"Go! "Egg Barrier" (EC: 8)" said Alice & Mikey.

"What?!" yelled the Darkwing fiend.

"Now take this!" yelled Alice. "First, I'll remove one of "Easter Egg" Continuous Spells."

"And I'll remove one of my "Bad Egg" Continuous Spells and activate the spell "Mysterious Disappearance of Eggs 2", so I remove 1 of my "Bad Egg"(s) and 3 of my sister's "Easter Eggs"." said Mikey.

"Now I play "Easter Egg 5" and I'll remove it from play and Special Summon "Easter Knight" (ATK: 2400)" said Alice as she summoned her monster. "And I'll equip him with "Easter Egg Sceptor". (ATK: 3400) Now "Easter Knight" finish him and him forces."

"Yes, your highness!" shouted Easter Knight.

"(LP 2700) Uh oh! AAH!!" yelled the Darkwing fiend and its forces. "(LP 0)"

"AAAAAHH!!! (LP 0)" yelled the Darkwing forces.

"Now it's my turn." said Mikey. "I'll remove another one of my "Bad Egg"(s) and activate "Trap Booster", which means I can activate the trap "Mysterious Disappearance of Eggs", so I remove another one of my "Bad Eggs". I'll activate "Bad Egg 5". Hey sis, do you mind?"

"Go for it!" yelled Alice.

"I activate my Sister's Field Spell to remove my "Bad Egg 5" so I can Special Summon "Rotten Knight". (ATK: 2400)" said Mikey as he summoned his monster. "And I equip him with "Bad Egg Sceptor". (ATK: 3400) Now take out the left strike force!"

"Yes, my lord!" shouted Rotten Knight.

"(LP 2700) AAH!!" yelled the Darkwing fiend. "(LP 0)"

"AAAH!! (LP 0)" yelled the Darkwing forces.

"Ha! I did more damage than you." said Mikey.

"Okay. Now the two of you combine you barriers together and go full speed to the castle enterance and don't stop." said Rein.

"Isn't that suicide?!" yelled Alice.

"No, trust me." said Rein. "The barrier will still hold, but we all have to hang on!"

Both Alice and Mikey combined their barriers and flew full speed to the two Darkwing Fiends guarding the enterance. (quote: These Darkwings are LV8 with 2700 ATK & LP.)

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" yelled everyone.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" yelled the Darkwing fiends.

Then a giant crash was heard throughout the land. (quote: The fiends thought it was the enemy firing their weapons. Technically it was them, but they didn't fire weapons.)

"(groans)" groaned Rein. "Is everone okay?"

"(groaning) Yeah. We're okay. No problem." said everyone.

"Well... We're here." said Rein. "Inside Haou's castle. We should make our way up to his tower which should be the seventh floor."

"You won't get the chance!" said a voice.

"You! Death Spirit Searon." yelled Rein.

"His majesty knew you were coming, so he gave us the task of eliminating you once and for all." said D. Searon.

"(growls)" growled Rein.

"Go on guys." said Mikey. "I got this chump."

"You sure you'll be okay?" asked Alice.

"As long as I have Rotten Knight, there's nothing we can't do." said Mikey.

"Trust him. He's got it." said Rein.

"And once I beat this guy, tell Nick I want a rematch." said Mikey.

"See?" asked Rein.

"Okay, be careful." said Alice.

(quote: Unfortunately, the duels against the Death Spirits will not be taken place in this chapter or the next, so I'll only be showing the ending of those Duels in the next chapter after this.)

While they kept running up each floor, they kept running into one of the 6 Death Spirits, so Alice, Garoth, Cody, Rachel, and Ehren are each fighting one of the 6 Death Spirits leaving Rein to face Haou alone.

"(panting)" panted Rein.

"So you made it." said SDK. Nick. "I knew your friends would risk their lives on the line for you. Which makes it so easy to sit here and watch them suffer."

"Their your friends too!" yelled Rein. "Nick, I know you hear inside him and I promise I will free you!"

"Tough luck." said SDK. Nick. "If you're so confident, then come at me with everything you got!"

"Fine!" yelled Rein as they readied their Duel Disks.

Duel!
Rein/ 5 cards/ LP 8000
SDK. Nick/ 5 cards/ LP 8000

Rein: Turn 1
I draw. I play the spells "Double Summon" and "Quick Summon", so I can summon 3 times, so I summon "Lunar-Technician-Desert"(LV4/EARTH/Warrior/Effect/ATK/1600 DEF/1200), "Lunar-Wolf-Drought"(LV4/EARTH/Beast/Effect/ATK/1200 DEF/1900), and "Lunar-Werewolf-Sand"(LV4/EARTH/Beast-Warrior/Effect/ATK/1950 DEF/500) I play the spell "Gift of Forgiveness", so I pay 1000 LP (Rein: LP 7000) and you discard 3 cards (SDK. Nick: Hand: 2) while I draw 3 cards. (Rein: Hand: 3) (SDK. Nick says: I see that fool Nick left a parting gift before he left.) He did not leave. I'm standing right in front of him! (SDK. Nick says: Keep dreaming, kid. You'll never get him back.) I'll prove you wrong! I play 3 cards face-down and end my turn.

Rein/ 0 cards/ LP 7000
SDK. Nick/ 2 cards/ LP 8000

SDK. Nick: Turn 2
I draw. Well since you keep saying I'm Nick, then I might as well Duel like Nick. I activate the effect of "Death Spirit Darklight"(LV5/DARK/Spirit/Effect/ATK/1600 DEF/1500) in my Graveyard, I can Normal Summon 1 LV5 or higher "Death Spirit" or "Zeo The Death Warrior" from my hand without tributing any monsters, so I summon "Zeo The Death Warrior"(LV7/DARK/Warrior/Effect/ATK/2500 DEF/2200) Now I play the spell "Devil Fusion", so I fuse "Elemental Hero Sparkman"(LV4/LIGHT/Warrior/ATK/1600 DEF/1400) with "Destiny Hero - Double Dude"(LV6/DARK/Warrior/Effect/ATK/1000 DEF/1000) in my Deck, so I can Fusion Summon "Death Hero Twin Lightning"(LV7/DARK/Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK/2300 DEF/2000) So Rein, you've seen Nick use "Zeo"(s) power to use "Cross Fusion" with the "Chaos Spirits" right? (Rein says: Yeah. And I know "Zeo The Death Warrior" uses the same power with the "Death Spirits". Am I right?) True, he does. But what you don't know... IS THIS! Now "Zeo The Death Warrior" and "Death Hero Twin Lightning" use "Dark Cross Fusion" to Fusion Summon "Zeo The Twin Death Warrior"(LV7/DARK/Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK/2500 DEF/2200) (Rein says: WHAT?! He can Cross Fuse with the "Death Heroes"?!) I guess Nick never told you that, huh? Now I activate his effect, once per turn, I can Special Summon 1 "Twin Token"(LV4/DARK/Token/Effect/ATK/? DEF/?) And I can select 1 monster on the field and the token will take the name, ATK, DEF, and effect of the selected monster, so the monster I choose is "Zeo The Twin Death Warrior". ("Twin Token": LV4/DARK/Token/Effect/ATK/2500 DEF/2200) Now I use its effect to Special Summon another "Twin Token"(LV4/DARK/Token/Effect/ATK/? DEF/?) And I'll use its effect to select "Zeo The Twin Death Warrior". ("Twin Token": LV4/DARK/Token/Effect/ATK/2500 DEF/2200) I play 1 card face-down and I attack your "Lunar-Technician-Desert" with "Zeo The Twin Death Warrior". (Rein counters: I activate the Continuous Trap "Lunar Barrier") Too slow! I play the Quick-Play Spell "Mystical Space Typhoon", so your "Lunar Barrier" is destroyed. (Rein thinks: That's what I was hoping you'd do. (out loud) I activate the Continuous Trap "Bad Reaction to Simochi") (Rein: LP 6100) What good is that for? (Rein says: You'll see.) In that case, "Twin Token" attack his "Lunar-Wolf-Drought". I know since it's in Attack Position, it can't be destroyed by monsters with 2000 or more ATK, but I can still do some damage. (Rein: LP 4800) Now I'll have my 2nd "Twin Token" destroy you "Lunar-Werewolf-Sand". (Rein: LP 4250) (Rein counters: I activate the Counter Trap "Lunar-Howling-Song of the Moon". This card can only activate when 1 or more "Lunar" monsters were removed from the field, they're Special Summoned back to the field and the monsters that removed them from the field are returned to your Deck, so I bring back "Lunar-Technician-Desert"(LV4/EARTH/Warrior/Effect/ATK/1600 DEF/1200) and "Lunar-Werewolf-Sand"(LV4/EARTH/Beast-Warrior/Effect/ATK/1950 DEF/500) And upon being Special Summoned, you can draw from your Deck until you have 5 cards. (SDK. Nick: Hand: 5) And you gain 400 LP for each card you drew, so that's 2000, but since "Bad Reaction to Simochi" is on the field, you take 2000 points of damage. (SDK. Nick: LP 6000) Hmph. Very good move, Rein. I play 1 card face-down and activate the Field Spell "Death Valley" and end my turn.

Rein/ 0 cards/ LP 4250
SDK. Nick/ 5 cards/ LP 6000
Field: "Death Valley"

Rein: Turn 3
I draw. I play "Pot of Greed", so I draw 2 cards. (Rein: Hand: 2) Now I activate another "Pot of Greed", so I can draw 2 more cards. (Rein: Hand: 3) Next, I play the spell "Level Draw", so I pay 500 LP (Rein: LP 3750) and select "Lunar-Wolf-Drought", so I draw another 2 cards. (Rein: Hand: 4) Now I play the Field Spell "Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise" Now I activate its effect, so I tribute "Lunar-Technician-Desert" and "Lunar-Wolf-Drought" to Fusion Summon "Lunar-Guardian-Desert"(LV6/EARTH/Beast-Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK/2400 DEF/1600) And since he was summoned, I play the Quick-Play Spell "Lunar-Alchemy", this card can activate when a "Lunar" monster is summoned and I activate its first of 3 effects, I pay 500 LP (Rein: LP 3250) to destroy 1 monster on the field and I choose your "Twin Token". Now I summon "Lunar-Wolf-Hurricane"(LV4/WIND/Beast/Effect/ATK/1700 DEF/1200) And thanks to my fields effect, all Beast, Beast-Warrior, and Warrior-type monsters gain 200 ATK & DEF while this card is activated. ("Lunar-Guardian-Desert": 2400 + 200 = 2600 ATK/ 1600 + 200 = 1800 DEF) ("Lunar-Werewolf-Sand": 1950 + 200 = 2150 ATK/ 500 + 200 = 700 DEF) ("Lunar-Wolf-Hurricane": 1700 + 200 = 1900 ATK/ 1200 + 200 = 1400 DEF) Now "Lunar-Guardian-Desert" attack him directly. (SDK. Nick counters: I activate the Counter Trap "Enduring Pain", when this card activates, all damage I recieve from battle or by a card effect is halved.) (SDK. Nick: LP 4700) Now "Lunar-Werewolf-Sand" attack him directly. (SDK. Nick: LP 3625) Now "Lunar-Wolf-Hurricane" attack him directly. (SDK. Nick: LP 2675) Now I play the spell "Trap Reproduction", so I can add "Lunar Barrier" from my Graveyard to my hand. (Rein: Hand: 1) I play 1 card face-down and end my turn.

"Don't worry Nick." said Rein. "You're almost free from his control, then we can get out of here."

"How many times do I have to tell you?!" yelled SDK. Nick. "You're friend is never coming back! I WON'T ALLOW IT!!"

Then a giant black aura surrounded Haou's body making him stronger.

"Finally!" said SDK. Nick. "Now that my power is at this level, your plan to save your friends and Nick will fall."

("I never seen this much power." thought Rein.)

"All shall fall before the SUPREME DEVIL KING!!!" yelled SDK. Nick. "(laughs maniacally) Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

("Don't worry Nick." said Rein. "You're almost free from his control, then we can get out of here.")

("How many times do I have to tell you?!" yelled SDK. Nick. "You're friend is never coming back! I WON'T ALLOW IT!! All shall fall before the SUPREME DEVIL KING!!! (laughs maniacally) Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!")

Mikey/ 2 cards/ LP 800
D. Searon/ 3 cards/ LP 1500
Field: "Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt"

Mikey: Turn 5
I draw. (Mikey thinks: Okay. Let's recap. He has his "Death Spirit Blaze Searon"(LV4/DARK/Spirit/Fusion/Effect/ATK/1200 DEF/1000) on the field with 3000 ATK, thanks to me, and has 1 card face-down on the field. While I have my "Dragon of Many Eggs"(LV4/EARTH/Dragon/Effect/ATK/2100 DEF/800), 3 "Bad Egg" Continuous Spells on the field and 2 "Bad Egg" Continuous Spells removed from play. And I have my ace card in my hand, so how do I get back in this? Got it!) I play the spell "Egg Draw", when this card is activated, I can draw cards from my Deck equal to the number of "Easter Egg" or "Bad Egg" Continuous Spells I control and since I control 3 "Bad Egg" Continuous Spells, I can draw 3 cards. (Mikey: Hand: 4) Next, I play another "Egg Draw", so I draw another 3 cards. (Mikey: Hand: 5) Now I activate the spell "Trap Booster", which means I can activate a trap card from my hand, so I activate "Bad Egg Explosion", when this card activates, I can remove a number of "Bad Egg" Continuous Spells I control and inflict 200 points of damage to my opponent for each one, so I remove all 3 of them, so that's 600 points of damage. (D. Searon: LP 900) And they're treated as being removed from play by their effect. Now I Special Summon "Rotten Knight"(LV7/DARK/Warrior/Effect/ATK/2400 DEF/1500) And I equip him with "Bad Egg Sceptor", giving him a 1000 point boost. (2400 + 1000 = 3400 ATK) Now "Rotten Knight" destroy his "Death Spirit Blaze Searon". Thanks to the effects of "Bad Egg Sceptor", I lose 500 LP when I declare an attack. (Mikey: LP 300) (D. Searon counters: I activate the trap "Reckless Flame", when this card is activated, I can inflict damage to you equal to double the ATK of the attacking monster.) I learned my mistake before when I dueled you king before he rose to power. And by saying that I activate from my hand the Quick-Play Spell "Mystical Space Typhoon", so I can destroy my "Bad Egg Sceptor". (D. Searon says: So what? You're going to lose either way.) Because thanks to "Bad Egg Sceptor"(s) other effect, I can return a number of removed from play "Bad Egg" Continuous Spells to my Graveyard and you take 500 points of damage for each one, so I return all 5, so you take 2500 points of damage. (D. Searon says: NOOOO!!!)

Mikey: LP 300/ Winner
D. Searon: LP 0/ Defeated

"Huh? Where am I?" asked D. Searon.

"Hey. Why didn't you turn into your card?" asked Mikey.

"Now I remember." said D. Searon. "The Dark one invaded our home and turned us into her slaves, including our king."

"That must explain why Haou's been acting crazy and you not having a Black Vein." said Mikey.

"I want to help you save your friend." said D. Searon. "And you have to save his majesty."

"Alright. Since I know you're good, we'll help you." said Mikey. "I just have to explain it everyone. Come on, let's go."

So he has his "Death Spirit Sea Hydroc"(LV4/DARK/Spirit/Fusion/Effect/ATK/1400 DEF/1000) with 1600 ATK, his "Levia-Dragon Daedalus"(LV7/WATER/Dragon/Effect/ATK/2600 DEF/1800) with 2800 ATK, and 1 card face-down. While I have my "Easter Egg Scouter"(LV4/EARTH/Dragon/Effect/ATK/1600 DEF/1700), "Easter Eggs 1, 2 and 3" on my field and "Easter Eggs 4 & 10" are removed from play thanks to "Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt". How can I turn this around? Wait, my face-down. Alright! Let's go.) I activate the trap "Easter Mine", when this card is activated, I can remove a number of "Easter Egg" Continuous Spells from the field from play and I can inflict 500 points of damage to you for each one, so I remove all of them and you take 1500 points of damage, which makes us even. (D. Hydroc: Urrgh! You little.../ LP 500) Now I Special Summon "Easter Knight"(LV7/EARTH/Warrior/Effect/ATK/2400 DEF/1500). He can be Special Summoned if 5 "Easter Egg" Continuous Spells are removed from play by the effects of "Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt". And thanks to the effects of "Easter Mine", the ones I removed from play are treated as removed from play by the effects of "Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt". Now I equip "Easter Knight" with "Easter Egg Sceptor", which gives him 1000 ATK. (2400 + 1000 = 3400 ATK) Now I activate the other effect of "Easter Egg Sceptor", I can activate an "Easter Egg" Continuous Spell once per turn while it's removed from play, so I activate "Easter Egg 2", so say goodbye to the last of your LP. "Easter Knight" finish this! (D. Hydroc says: NOOO!!)

Alice: LP 500/ Winner
D. Hydroc: LP 0/ Defeated

"What happened?' asked D. Hydroc. "What was I just doing?"

"Sis!" yelled Mikey coming up the stairs.

"Mikey." said Alice before she saw D. Searon with him. "(gasps) What's he doing... Oh I see. It was the Dark one who did this."

"My most deepest apologies, madam." said D. Hydroc. "I never meant you any harm."

"That's okay." said Alice. "I know you never meant to. You were controlled. You had no choice."

"But what about his majesty?" asked D. Hydroc.

("That's right." thought Alice.) "Come on. Let's see how the others are doing." said Alice.

Since you sent 4 of my "Lightsworn" monsters to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon "Judgement Dragon"(LV8/LIGHT/Dragon/Effect/ATK/3000 DEF/2600) Now I activate his effect, by paying 1000 LP (Garoth: LP 500) I can destroy any other card on the field besides "Judgement Dragon", so say goodbye to your "Death Spirit Air Windcon"(LV4/DARK/Spirit/Fusion/Effect/ATK/1800 DEF/1000) and your 2 face-downs.

"(groans) What happened?" asked D. Windcon.

"Now to end this once and for all." said Garoth as he got out his sword.

Garoth raised his sword in the air about to strike D. Windcon.

"No! Wait!" yelled D. Windcon.

"AND NOW...!" yelled Garoth until...

"GAROTH WAIT!" shouted Alice.

"Why should I?!" yelled Garoth. "He's a slave to Haou."

"The Dark one messed with their minds when she invaded this place." said Alice. "They're not bad guys, they're good guys. Just like these two."

"It is true." said D. Searon. "When we lost our duels we couldn't remember why we were dueling these two."

"So we beg of you, do not slay one of our people." said D. Hydroc.

"(growls)" said Garoth. "I believe your story. Because that's how the Dark one got us once, until 1 human saved us. But I'll tell you another time. Right now, let's head for Haou's tower."

"Right!" yelled everyone.

(2500 + 500 = 3000 ATK/2000 + 500 = 2500 DEF) Now I play the spell "Double Summon", so I summon "Neo-Spacian Stardust Fairy"(LV3/WIND/Fairy/Effect/ATK/500 DEF/800) and "Neo-Spacian Crasher Dino"(LV3/EARTH/Dinosaur/Effect/ATK/800 DEF/500) Now "Elemental Hero Star Neos", "Neo-Spacian Crasher Dino" and "Neo-Spacian Stardust Fairy" use "Triple Contact Fusion" to summon "Elemental Hero S. Comet Neos"(LV9/WIND/Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK/3000 DEF/2500) Now his effect activates, he gains 400 ATK & DEF for every card in both players hand's and with our combined total, that makes 4, so he gains 1600 ATK & DEF. (3000 + 1600 = 4600 ATK/ 2500 + 1600 = 4100 DEF) Plus, he gains an extra 500 ATK & DEF thanks to "Galaxy Space". (4600 + 500 = 5100 ATK/ 4100 + 500 = 4600 DEF) Now "Elemental Hero S. Comet Neos" destroy his "Death Spirit Mountain Landcaron"(LV4/DARK/Spirit/Fusion/Effect/ATK/1800 DEF/1000) (D. Landcaron counters: I activate the trap "Cut in half", meaning I take half the damage.)

"Don't worry." said Rachel. "I'm not hurt that much."

("He doesn't remember anything?" thought Ehren. "This is just like what happened to our people.")

"I see you won." said Garoth.

"Oh. Master." said Ehren. "Were they the ones who didn't remember what happened?"

"Yes. And they have decided to help us." said Garoth.

"Alright. So everyone is here." said Cody. "Now all that leaves is Rein and Nick."

"We don't have much time." said Garoth. "Let's go."

Everyone finished their battles and are now heading up to Haou's tower where the last Duel will continue.

"Nick, please." said Rein. "You have to fight him."

"Nothing you say will ever get through." said SDK. Nick. "Now it's my turn."

Rein/ 0 cards/ LP 4250
SDK. Nick/ 5 cards/ LP 2675
Field: "Death Valley" & "Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise"

SDK. Nick: Turn 4
I draw. I play the Continuous Spell "Undead Reunion". Next, I play the Quick-Play Spell "Quick Trap", so I can activate 1 Trap Card from my Deck, so I activate the Continuous Trap "Ultimate Offering". Now I summon "Undead Spirit Fire"(LV2/DARK/Spirit/Effect/ATK/200 DEF/300) Now I activate the effect of "Undead Reunion", when an "Undead Spirit" monster is Normal Summoned, I can add 1 "Undead Spirit" monster from my Deck to my hand, so I add "Undead Spirit Water"(LV2/DARK/Spirit/Effect/ATK/200 DEF/300) to my hand. Now I activate the effects of "Ultimate Offering", by paying 500 LP (SDK. Nick: LP 2175), I can Normal Summon again, so I summon "Undead Spirit Water"(LV2/DARK/Spirit/Effect/ATK/200 DEF/300) Now I activate "Undead Reunion"(s) effect again, so I add "Undead Spirit Wind"(LV2/DARK/Spirit/Effect/ATK/200 DEF/300) to my hand. Now I pay 500 LP again thanks to "Ultimate Offering" (SDK. Nick: LP 1675), so I can summon "Undead Spirit Wind"(LV2/DARK/Spirit/Effect/ATK/200 DEF/300) And I'll keep doing it until I get what I need. First, I add "Undead Spirit Earth"(LV2/DARK/Spirit/Effect/ATK/200 DEF/300) to my hand thanks to "Undead Reunion", then I pay 500 LP (SDK. Nick: LP 1175) to summon "Undead Spirit Earth"(LV2/DARK/Spirit/Effect/ATK/200 DEF/300), then I add "Undead Spirit Light"(LV2/DARK/Spirit/Effect/ATK/200 DEF/300) to my hand and pay 500 LP (SDK. Nick: LP 675) to summon "Undead Spirit Light"(LV2/DARK/Spirit/Effect/ATK/200 DEF/300) and add "Undead Spirit Dark"(LV2/DARK/Spirit/Effect/ATK/200 DEF/300) to my hand. Now I play the spell "Pot of Greed", so I draw 2 cards. (SDK. Nick: Hand: 4) Next, I activate another "Quick Trap", so I can activate from my Deck, the Continuous Trap "DNA Surgery", so that means I can choose 1 type of monster for every monster on the field and the type I choose is Dragon. (Rein thinks: That's strange. Why would he... No! (out loud) You wouldn't!) Yes I can! I activate the spell "Polymerization", so I fuse my 5 "Undead Spirit"(s) that are now Dragon-type(s) to Fusion Summon "Five-Headed Dragon"(LV12/DARK/Dragon/Fusion/Effect/ATK/5000 DEF/5000) (Rein says: The spirit of the F.G.D.! I wasn't hoping to see it until later in the Duel.) Then it looks like it's your lucky day. Next, I play another "Pot of Greed", so I can draw 2 more cards. (SDK. Nick: Hand: 3) Now I pay another 500 LP (SDK. Nick: LP 175) so I can summon "Zeo-Nexus The Death Warrior"(LV4/DARK/Warrior/Effect/ATK/1900 DEF/1500) (Z's will: Rein... Help us.) (Rein says: Don't worry Z. I'll free you and Nick and Yubel.) Like I said, you'll never see your friend again! I activate the spell "Devil Fusion", so I'll fuse "Zeo-Nexus The Death Warrior" with none other than... "FIVE-HEADED DRAGON"!!! (Rein says: WHAT!?!) Now bring forth terror into this world! I Fusion Summon "Zeo The Five God Warrior"(LV12/DARK/Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK/5000 DEF/5000) And since "Death Valley" is on the field, he gains 1000 ATK. (5000 + 1000 = 6000 ATK) And since F.G.D. is in my Graveyard, he gains 500 more ATK. (6000 + 500 = 6500 ATK) Now I'll have my "Twin Token" destroy your "Lunar-Technician-Desert". (Rein counters: I'm not giving up that easy! I activate the Continuous Trap "Lunar Barrier", so your attack is negated and by removing from play 1 "Lunar" monster from my Deck, the Battle Phase ends.) I activate the effect of "Enduring Pain", by removing it from my Graveyard, I can draw 2 cards. (SDK. Nick: Hand: 3) I play 2 cards face-down and end my turn.

"You are only delaying the inevitable." said SDK. Nick. "Your plan to free your friends and this war is over. How can you beat me? I am the Supreme Devil King! My name is the law of the world! The only thing you can rely on is power!"

"You're wrong, Haou." said Rein. "You'll always be wrong. You can't rely on power, because power brings out the Darkness in peoples hearts. You can only rely on friends who are always there for you until the very end."

When everyone got there, they heard what Rein said.

"You tell 'em Rein!" yelled Mikey.

"That human." said Garoth. "He's exactly like the human who saved us."

"Exactly, who was the human that saved your people?" asked Alice.

"You already know him." said Garoth. "The human Nick Cunningham."

"(gasps) So it was him." said Alice.

"He's not with you anymore!" yelled SDK. Nick. "And I'll see to the punishment of you traitors later!"

"Like I said, you're always wrong, Haou!" yelled Rein. "He's been right beside me this whole Duel."

"Huh? What do you... (exhales sharply)" said SDK. Nick as he got a good glimpse at Rein.

He then sees Nick's spirit right beside Rein.

"How did you escape!?!" yelled SDK. Nick.

("Since you took over my body, I've been able to wander the dimension as a spirit that only my friends can see." said Nick as a spirit. "And...")

"AND WHAT?!" yelled SDK. Nick.

("What you say about them is wrong, Haou." said Nick. "They are not weak! They don't give up when battle gets worse. I know without a doubt they are strong and they willing to lay their life on the line to protect those who they care about! Come on, Rein. Let's show him that this is who we are.")

Just then, a light blue aura formed around Rein.

"What is that?!" yelled SDK. Nick as he saw Rein's power.

"This is my power." said Rein. "The power... OF THE LUNAR MOON!!" said Rein along with Nick.

I DRAW! I activate another "Level Draw", so I pay 500 LP (Rein: LP 3750) and I choose "Lunar-Wolf-Drought", so I draw 2 cards. (Rein: Hand: 2) Next, I play the Quick-Play Spell "Quick Trap", so I can activate a Trap Card from my Deck, so I activate the trap "Pot of Forgiveness", so I draw 3 cards. (Rein: Hand: 4) Now I activate the spell "Lunar-Prophecy", when this card is activated, by tributing 2 "Lunar" monsters and paying 3000 LP (Rein: LP 750), I Special Summon "Lupin Canis-Werewolf Master"(LV10/DARK/Beast-Warrior/Effect/ATK/3500 DEF/3500) Now "Lupin Canis-Werewolf Master" end this by destroying his "Twin Token"! (SDK. Nick counters: THAT'S WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR!! I activate the Quick-Play Spell "Unchanged Destiny", with this, I can select monsters in my Deck that can be used for Fusion Material to Fusion Summon a monster, then I can activate "Immortal Polymerization" on the field so I can fuse them together, so I fuse "Elemental Hero Bladedge"(LV7/EARTH/Warrior/Effect/ATK/2600 DEF/1800) with "Evil Hero Malicious Edge"(LV7/EARTH/Fiend/Effect/ATK/2600 DEF/1800) to Fusion Summon "Death Hero Darkedge"(LV9/DARK/Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK/4200 DEF/2000) And you attack is switched to "Death Hero Darkedge" and if his ATK are stronger, you take double the Battle Damage. IT'S OVER! NO ONE CAN BEAT THE SUPREME DEVIL KING!! NO ONE!!!) I wasn't planning on beating you or losing to you. (SDK. Nick says: Huh?) Because all of us are going down. (SDK. Nick says: What?!) I activate my second "Quick Trap" Quick-Play Spell, so I activate the trap card "Ring of Destruction", with this I can select 1 monster on the field and destroy it, then we both take equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster. And the monster I choose is none other than "Zeo The Five God Warrior". (SDK. Nick says: NOOOO!!! IMPOSSIBLE!! NO ONE DEFEATS THE SUPREME DEVIL KING!! NO OOOOOONE!!!) Just like our Duel. Right, Nick? (Nick says: Good times, Rein. Good times. Now end this!) Right! Go, "Ring of Destruction"! (SDK. Nick says: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!)

Rein: LP 0/ Tie
SDK. Nick: LP 0/ Tie

Then a giant maelstrom blast filled up the room and blew a hole in the ceiling of the tower where the fiends and the resistance saw everything.

"What the? What's happening?" said the Darkwing fiends.

Back at the tower, Nick's body reformed back into what it was before he was controlled by Haou, then Nick's spirit came out in front of Rein.

"Nick, you're free." said Rein. "Quick get back in your body before the whole place colapses, then we can get out of this dimension."

("Rein, I'm not coming back. Not yet anyway." said Nick.)

"What? Why?" asked Rein.

("There's something I have to take care of first." said Nick. "But before I do that, I'd like to make an announcement to all of Death Valley.")

Nick went back into his body, got up and went to the window of the tower.

"Where's his majesty?!" yelled the Darkwing fiends.

"The Supreme Devil King.... Has been defeated. THE BATTLE BELONG TO US!!!" shouted Nick to all of Death Valley.

"YEAH!!! YES!! WHOO-HOO!!" yelled the resistance as they kept fighting.

Then Nick became unconsious and fell back in the window and Rein caught him.

"Mikey! Alice!" yelled Rein.

"Right! "Dragon of Many Eggs" get all of us out of here!" yelled Mikey & Alice.

Everyone got on the Dragons and flew off through the giant hole in the ceiling. While Rachel was holding Nick tightly while he was unconsious, she said to him quietly...

"Thank goodness you're back, Nick. You're back." said Rachel quietly and tearing up.

Card of the Day: "Lupin Canis-Werewolf Master"

Yes! Finally the war against Haou and the Death Heroes are over! Or are they? "Next Chapter"! Rein and the gang found a nice place to rest ever since the darkness in the sky dispersed and the sky was shining with a bright sun. While Nick was unconsious, his spirit went to the center of his mind where he found Haou still controlled by the darkness. Nick knew there was only one way to save him and that's by Dueling him. Will Nick rescue his friend, or will he be unconsious forever? Find out next time. Until then, KEEP ON DUELING!!
