Davis, in his Darkerness induced zombie form lunged at Max like an animal, only to fall over from the black chains holding his ankle down.
-How about it? Being devoured by your only friend?
-Shut up Dark Illusion! Whatever you did, undo it!
-I’ll undo it when I’m good and ready to drain the Darkerness from his corpse. I’ll let it brew for now.
-You put Darkerness back in him?!
-No, I simply got the Darkerness inside of him to come out and say hello.
-Once I beat you two, you’ll undo it?
-If it happens? Sure! Let’s begin shall we? Ha, Davis can go first…Oh.
Davis growled in a savage way.
-Oh well, seems he is passing his turn away…your turn then, Max.
-Fine. I draw. I’ll set a card face down, and then set this monster. I’m done.
-Is that it? Wait, you have a deck?
-Yes.
-How? I burnt it up good.
-Shut up, Dark Illusion, I’ll go next then, I’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to finally end Max once and for all. As long as you don’t get in my way, I should be fine. I’ll start with this, Nobleman of Crossout, your set monster is destroyed and banished and if it happens to be a flip effect monster, then we all banish all copies of that monster from our decks.
Max’s monster is destroyed.
-Oh dear, Gem-Turtle.
Max removes the other two copies of it from his deck.
-Gem-Turtle?! Your new deck is Gem-Knights then!? First you got the sacred cards from the Legacy Ruins and now you have this deck?!
-Yeah? So what?
-You two shut up so I can duel! I won’t be overshadowed. I activate Nobleman of Extermination! Now your set card is destroyed and if it is a trap, then we banish all of the copies like last time.
-My Dimensional Prison!
-Dimensional Prison? Sabre, you idiot! I have two of those in my deck!
-So what?
-I have to banish them now!
Dark Illusion and Max banish their traps.
-I don’t care. I summon Shockwaver Soldier!
[1600/600/4]
-Since this card is now the only monster on the field-
-I remember this card, you used it against my younger self.
-Such a good memory on you there, Maxxie. Then you’ll remember that it deals 2000 damage to you.
[Max/Davis: 8000 -> 6000]
-You might remember my follow up attack too. No? Well then, let me show you and jog your memory. Attack!
[Max/Davis: 6000 -> 4400]
-I’ll set three cards and end my turn.
Dark Illusion chuckles.
-If you think you’re out of the woods, Max, you’re in for a surprise, because it is my turn now. I draw!
-Play this right, Dark, and we can win this turn.
-I discard five cards!
-What!?
-So that I can special summon my mighty Illusionist Oni!
[800/800/8]
-It doesn’t look mighty!
-Quiet, Sabre! My monster can attack as many times equal to the number of cards I discarded for its summon!
-So that Oni can attack five times.
-That’s right Max. Try them on for size!
[Max/Davis: 4400 -> 3600 -> 2800 -> 2000 -> 1200 -> 400]
Max was beat up a little but he noticed that Davis was in worse shape. His binding to his deck made it so when he had lower life points, his life force would go down too.
-Davis?
Davis just snarled back, still feral.
-I end, so it is Davis’ turn.
-Fool, you should not have given them a chance for a counter!
-Davis…!
-Looks like he is skipping his turn again.
-Fine, then I’ll go, I draw! I’ll start with Gem-Reflection, this card lets me draw a card each time I fusion summon this turn. Next, I’ll activate Gem-Knight Fusion!
-So you do possess the Gem deck.
-Yes, and now I fuse Tourmaline and Lazuli in order to fusion summon Prismaura!
[2450/1400/7]
-Not only do I draw a card thanks to Gem-Reflection but Lazuli lets me add back Tourmaline!
-See! This is what I was talking about, you should have destroyed him!
-Next I’ll banish Lazuli so that I can add back my Fusion spell but I am going to be using it right away. Sabre’s right, you should have defeated me while you had the chance but now it’s too late! I fuse Tourmaline with Garnet so that I can summon Gem-Knight Citrine!
[2200/1950/7]
-Now I draw once again. Now I’ll overlay my two level 7 monsters so that I can Xyz summon the mighty Gem-Knight Master Jade!
[2500/2100/r7]
-That’s one I haven’t seen yet! Okay maybe I should have defeated him while I had the chance.
-Curse you, Dark. I hate you!
-If I may continue, for each Fusion monster used as an Xyz material to summon Jade, I can now add a Gem card from my deck to my hand. So I’ll take Gem-Knight Obsidian and Gem-Enhancement! Then I’m going to banish Tourmaline to get Gem-Knight Fusion back. Why have one Gem-Knight Master when I can summon two of them? I am fusing Alexandrite, Amber and Obsidian! Come, Gem-Knight Master Diamond!
[2900/2500/9]
-When Obsidian is sent from my hand to the graveyard by an effect, I can summon back my Gem-Knight Garnet!
[1900/0/4]
-Also, if you didn’t know, Master Diamond gains 100 Atk for every Gem-Knight in my graveyard.
[2900 -> 3300]
-Now it’s time for some pay back! Garnet, attack that Illusionist Oni!
-Can’t believe I am going to help you but I guess in turn it helps me so I activate my trap, Clutch Pull, now your attack is redirected at my Shockwaver Soldier and my monster gains 500 Atk!
[1600 -> 2100]
-Damn. That’s more than Garnet has.
[Max/Davis: 400 -> 200]
-Davis.
Davis seemed like he was fading away as their life points got lower.
-Master Diamond! Attack that Shockwaver!
-Nice try but this will stop you, my Mirror Force trap! Your monsters are destroyed!
-If I detach two xyz material, Master Jade can save itself from destruction!
Master Diamond was not so lucky.
-Not only that but Jade now gains 800 Atk.
[2500 -> 3300]
-Now Jade will take out that Illusionist Oni!
[Sabre/Dark Illusion: 8000 -> 5500]
-Fool. Now my Oni lets me draw 2 cards from my deck.
-I’ll activate my trap as well, Retribution Winnings, for every 1000 damage we took, I draw a card so I get to draw 2 as well.
-Not bad. I’ll set one card and end my turn.
Master Ura walked into Grimly Manor where none other than Grimstien was waiting for her.
-Welcome! I’ve been expecting a strong opponent like you to come along.
-Well I’m here. Let’s cut to the chase shall we? We both know this will come down to a duel, things like these always do, so let’s get on with it.
-I like that. Fine, let’s begin, but you have no idea what is at stake here.
-I’m sure you’re going to tell me.
Master Ura raised her golden sword and transformed it back into a duel disk on her arm and got ready for the duel. Grimstien activated his duel disk as well.
-You may go first.
-How kind. I draw. Interesting, I’ll start by discarding Burner, Dragon Ruler of Sparks with the effect of Lightning, Dragon Ruler of Drafts so that I may summon Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms from my deck!
[2400/2200/7]
-Next I’ll banish-
-Hold up! Didn’t you check the banlist? Those baby dragons are all banned!
-Yeah next format.
-This is the next format, scrub!
-Damn it! It took longer to get here than I expected. Fine, I need to edit my deck so just tell me about your evil plans while I do that, okay?
-Yeah, yeah, hurry up.
-Dark! I need your help for our next play but don’t mess it up!
Sabre shows Dark Illusion the three cards in its hand.
-Got it. Do your play.
-I summon Totem Fiend!
[800/800/3]
-When one is summoned, I can bring out more from my hand, so have two more Totem Fiends!
[800/800/3][800/800/3]
-Now I end.
-My turn, I draw. Aw man I just drew my favourite card.
-Dark, do that play we planned!
-Fine…I summon Darkerness Knight!
[0/0/4]
The Darkerness Knight was a normal monster with no effect but it seemed to draw in the Darkerness from Dark Illusion and no one noticed but from Davis too.
-Next I activate Super Polymerization, I discard Soul Release, aw, and now I can fuse my Knight with the three fiends! To create the powerful Super Darkerness Knight!
[3800/3400/10]
-Dark, your aura is being sucked into this beast.
-I know. Don’t take me any differently, I’m still me, just I can’t do any party tricks while this Knight borrows my strength.
-It is quite impressive Dark, I don’t hate you anymore.
-Then let me show you a trick it can do. I can banish Max’s Master Jade! Then half his life points!
[Max/Davis: 400 -> 200]
-Now attack directly.
-Yeah, no can do. Only downside to Super Darkerness Knight. He cannot attack the turn he is summoned.
-Why!?
-Because it says so! I end my move. Besides it is not like they can come back now.
Max didn’t want to believe them but all he had left was Gem-Enhancement with no other cards.
-There’s not much-
-Come on Max…
Max was surprised to hear the savage form of Davis forming a sentence.
-If I lose, I die...I am not going to die today…
Davis even stood up like a person would.
-Sorry, I haven’t been much help so far…But that changes now!
Davis yelled out dispersing the remaining aura the Darkerness had created and it was gone and Davis’ flesh was back to normal.
-Davis!
-Come on partner…Let’s start the comeback now!
