Yugioh: The Hope of Six

Chapter 43: Kaiser Arc - Part 15

The instant he felt the life force of both Amon Garam and the Three Phantasms, Devil Kaiser knew his plan had succeeded. The enormous energies that entered his body completely reenergized him... and he was reveling in it. "Yes! Finally! My back up plan worked perfectly! After all those insufferable delays, my full strength has at last returned!" He grinned maniacally as he stared into the card that transferred the power he needed. "Now at last, my revenge is within my grasp." Devil Kaiser raised his head up and laughed: "Here I come, Sho Marufuji!" With that statement, his body became a mass of dark white light before it streaked it's way out of the cavern, toward it's destination.

"How long are they going to be stuck inside that thing?" Chronos demanded, clearly concerned for everyone still trapped within the white energy dome.

"I'm guessing not much longer. After Makoto and Shoji came back, the only ones left in the Domain of Destruction on their side were Captain Echo and Amon Garam. No one on Judai Yuki's team as been defeated, at least not as far as she knew." Reggie answered him. "Once one side has defeated all their opponents, the remaining survivors should return." As much as Reggie hoped her superior would make it back, her desire for Fubuki Tenjoin to return to her was much stronger. 'Fubuki...'

"I do hope you're right, Commander MacKenzie." Chronos said.

"You and me both." Emi said with a deep sigh. She then looked over at her two "patients". Both Makoto and Shoji still felt pain from their respective Duels and near death experiences. When they reappeared in the arena, one at a time, Emi treated their injuries. Both of them were very reluctant at first, but once Reggie made it clear that with Captain Echo unavailable for the time being, she was in charge. "How are you two feeling?" She asked the men.

"It hurts less now." Makoto said, feeling where he was bandaged. He still couldn't believe he survived this crazy ordeal. What's more, he was invited to join the Cyber Pro League the Marufuji brothers were working on. Makoto still wasn't sure if he would do it, but he was actually considering the possibility.

"I'm fine." Shoji huffed arrogantly. He hated being treated like he needed to be "babied" as he elegantly put it. He hated the fact that his little brother had kicked his ass in their Duel even more. Though, he still couldn't get over what his younger brother had said before they were separated. Did Jun truly care about him, even after his older brother tried to outright end his life in that Domain? He couldn't comprehend it.

"That's good enough for me." Emi replied with a small smile.

Suddenly, all the occupants were distracted when a streak of dark white light zoomed over their heads and vanished into the dome. "Momma Mia!" Chronos shouted in shock, falling comically on his butt.

"What the hell was the that?!" Shoji demanded.

No one had an answer. They were shocked even more when the dome instantly changed to black as night and was covered with dark bolts of electricity.

Reggie got a seriously bad feeling about this and feared for those still in the Domain. She felt like death was coming for them... and it would not be denied.

Judai stood there for a long moment, feeling great sorrow for Amon. He knew the guy was gone. Nothing he saw indicated Flame had managed to save him. Amon may have been his enemy, but all the guy really wanted was his little brother to be okay again. Now it was up to Judai himself to fulfill Amon's last wish. As soon as he escaped from this place and got his hands on that serum he heard about, he would make a beeline for Amon's place and revive Shido. He just prayed it would work.
