Turn 17: Doom and Void

'''Yu-Gi-Oh! Infinity Hunter''' ARC 1 “Rising Star.”

Turn 17 “Doom or Void.”

Two splashes were heard as two people dive into the water. It were Rebecca and Paul. They both were wearing diving gear and Paul was wearing his brown swimming trunks while Rebecca was wearing a red two piece swimsuit. Her hair was stuck back up on her head and they both were wearing under water flashlights on the utility belt.

Paul was swimming in front of Rebecca, leading the way to the nearest ruins, the nearest underwater ruins. The ruins that were near them, were large rock formations in form of a temple, with large remains of pillars that had supported a temple. Paul swims around a few and Rebecca closely follows him.

Paul suddenly stopped and Rebecca nearly bumped into him, so she had to grab a remaining rock of a pillar to keep herself steady. Paul tapped at her shoulder and pointed down. He pointed five times with his thumb down, meaning they had to get down there. Rebecca spread her eyes wide open as she had not expected it to this deep. She though they were already there. As Paul nodded and takes a dive into the abyss below them. Rebecca follows him.

When he starts to get faster, she swims faster to keep up with him. She suddenly loses him out of sight and nearly misses him when she sees where he had gone too. He swam under a piece of debris through a rotten and destroyed way to a certain point, even further below the surface.

Rebecca reached Paul in a few minutes, who was waiting for her. As she had not noticed it before, she now was astonished by the sight that she laid her eyes upon. There was definitely a temple here once. Two huge stone statues, or what was left of them, were guarding a gate, which was partly broken.

Paul was the first to get through the halves of the gate unharmed, Rebecca followed him on a short distance. The gigantic statues make the surroundings a little darker than the other areas underwater. Rebecca sees they are heading for an opening just below a large rock formation. Paul entered first and Rebecca followed, finding Paul pointing up to an opening. Rebecca looked and seemed to find the end. However Paul went up and kept swimming at the same place. Rebecca, curious, came swimming next to him, finding herself suddenly in the open air.

“Now this is a surprise.”

“Yeah, that is what we thought as well when we came here for the first time we came here.” Paul leaped onto the stone floor and helped up Rebecca. “So what do you think at first sight now?”

“Impressive, very impressive.” Rebecca walked around the tiny chamber they were in. “Where are we exactly?”

“We never found out. Judging the statues around the temple and further inside the temple, we may be dealing with an ancient temple that dates back from before Pharaoh Atem.” Paul pulled off his diving gear and placed it near the hole, leading back into the ocean. “Just like everything else so far we have found on and around Eonis.”

“So you say we, but who actually are “we”?”

“’We’ are me and Gaspar Yrudonko, a friend of mine that is the only other survivor of the small group that found the temple and these ruins. We spent at least in total for two weeks.” Paul touched a couple of stones, before moving to the archway that was opposite of the hole through which they came. “He is the one who made these famous sketches you can find in the E-Mag  Living with the Ancients, you know that E-Mag that did not last long?”

“I haven’t been in that world for a while, Paul. All news and info I got over the internet. But yeah I remember the sketcher Gaspar Yrudonko, never thought however he would have been on this island. I thought he was making sketches of utopian places, places that we in fact can never see on earth.” Rebecca followed him, having relieved herself from the diving gear, feeling a little cold.

“Don’t worry, things will warm up considerably when we enter the next room.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Why?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Her question was answered rather quickly. As they had walked through the archway, a sudden warmth filled Rebecca. She had no idea why, but a fire was burning inside the next chamber, a chamber that was considerably larger than the previous one. In this chamber six statues were standing in a circle. All of them were cloaked and hooded and from every single statue`s face only the left eye was visible. There were stone representations of the elemental symbols on their chests.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Why is there a fire burning in this chamber?” Rebecca wondered. “How is that even possible? Does someone live in here?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“The spirits residing in this temple keep the fire alive.” Paul explained. Rebecca walked past Paul and started to enter the circle of the six statues. “Rebecca, you better not do that. It is far too dangerous to step inside that circle. These statues represent the first people who actually arrive on this very same island and found these ruins, back then probably very much intact.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Rebecca walked around the circle of the cloaked statues. They all were completely similar, except for the elemental symbol on their chest. All looked at the same way, their left eyes fixated on the middle of the circle, which seemed to harbor some kind of low pedestal on which a single crystal was placed. The crystal was a pyramid formed crystal.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What is this kind of place?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“We have sought many hours for that answer, we never found it.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">At one moment when they were not looking, the door at the other side of the archway from which they just came, started to slide close. They still did not notice it, until it slammed shut with a loud THUD. Rebecca and Paul looked around with wide spread eyes, before making a run for it.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What the heck is going on? Why are we closed in?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I don’t know. It did never happen while we were in here.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“That`s not good.” Rebecca pounded on the heavy stone door, but it would not budge. Paul tried to push it open, but it was not to be opened at all. “Okay great. Now what? How far have you explored this temple the last time you were here?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I know that that door – “ Paul pointed to a stone door at their left. “ – leads to a maze, friend of mine tried it, got out just in time. That one leads to another chamber full of darkness. And the one behind the fire is one we never were able to enter. Why not? Because the fire is unable to be stopped.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“So I guess we have to either try our luck in the maze or in a chamber full of darkness.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yeah.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Well that makes it all a lot easier now does it?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yeah.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">At that moment all of a sudden the fire went out and they could see nothing. No outlines of the statues in the chamber they were in, no outlines of the doors they had previously seen. Rebecca touched around, finding the hand of Paul, so she thought.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What the hell is going on?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I have no idea.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">They suddenly heard a roar very near to them and Paul felt something very hairy. As he touched another spot, it was rather wet. When he felt on the ground, he felt a small layer of water.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Okay, that is not good.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I am too tired!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You can sleep when I am through with you.” Gakyru held up his hand in the air and a duel disk appeared in it. He attached it to his arm and inserted his new deck. “The power running through this deck is far stronger then this measly Doom deck of yours.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I share strong bonds with my Doom deck. They will easily overcome you. They will defeat you.” As Lynn was restrained in the chains holding her arm into the duel disk, she had nowhere to move, nowhere to run and she knew the only way out was through Gakyru. And through Gakyru meant defeating him.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“They cannot protect you from me.” Gakyru countered and he looked at his new deck. “My new deck, powered by the forces from the Silent Core will grant me the path to the Infinity Core. Your Doom monsters cannot stop me. Nothing can stop me!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I will try.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You can try – “ Gakyru raised his duel disk. “ – but you will fail.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Duel!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 4000 <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn – 4000

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I’ll start things off!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru draws a new card and smirks. Three face down brown backed cards appeared on his side of the field. It was a rather unusual opening move for a first turn. They were either spell or trap cards.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I set these three cards and end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“That was quick.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I handle quick.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn,” Lynn draws her next card and looks at it. She smiled as she had a good hand, or so she thought. But she was still worried about Gakyru`s three face down cards. If they were traps, what would they do to her? What effect would they have on her game? “I – “

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Hold it there.” Gakyru`s first card flipped up. “Tomb of the Silent Void! Once per turn I can reveal one Void, Silent Void or White Cross card from my hand to discard the top card from your deck to the graveyard. I reveal my Void Soldier (1700/1200) to send the top card to the graveyard.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn grumbled as her top card was revealed to be Doom – Gaia Crusher. She would for now be unable to utilize it in a fusion.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Next up my Sealment of the Silent Void. When a Void, Silent Void or White Cross card is revealed, as what happened with Tomb of the Silent Void, I can place 1 Life-Counter on you.” Gakyru smirked as a red light appeared near to Lynn.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">‘ ''A Life-Counter? What does it do?''<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You’ll find out what it can do soon. Your life may depend on it. Next up my third trap card, Banisher of the Silent Void, which allows me when a card previously revealed, I can remove a card in your graveyard or deal you 500 points of damage.” Gakyru pointed to Lynn. “I choose for the second option.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn – 4000 -> 3500 [1 Life-Counter]

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">‘ ''A deathly combo. Milling my deck card for card and removing cards from the graveyard or dealing me damage.''<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’ As she moved her arm, she found out it was rather easy, even though she was kept by chains. “I activate the field spell card, Doomed World!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Their surroundings changed into an area filled with darkness and black smoke and many lava pits. Lynn was released of the chains due to the change of scenery, forced to be standing on her own feet, which was rather difficult. Since it was a psychic duel they really were in the Doomed World and no longer saw the crashing mechanical cocoons.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Next I use the effect of Doomed World and add 1 Doom monster from my deck to my hand. I choose to add a Doom – Dark Killer from my deck to my hand.” She picked a card from her deck and added it to her hand. “Next I activated Doomed Fusion and fuse Dark Killer from my hand with my Doom –  Inferno<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> Slasher to summon Doom – Hell Flare (2200/1800).” The magma covered fiend appeared on her side of the field. The long needles coming from the fiendish hands nearly hit the ground.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">‘ While he is slowly burning away my lifepoints every turn, the least I can do is try and mount a counter-attack against him.<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’ Lynn flips a card out of her hand. “I set this card face down and end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn then.” Gakyru draws a card and then his three face up cards glowed. “By revealing Void Soldier, I initiate my combo again. By revealing Void Soldier, I can send the top card from your deck to your graveyard. Then Sealment of the Silent Void activates, placing 1 Life-Counter on you.” Another red light appeared on Lynn`s right.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Another Life-Counter?”

Now Banisher of the Silent Void activates, which when a card, Void Soldier in this case, is revealed I can deal 500 lifepoints of damage to you.” Gakyru smirked as the trap inflicted damage through lightning.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn – 3500 -> 3000 [2 Life-Counters]

His upper body was separated by a silver core, not attached to anything, from his lower body. “Now by revealing 1 card in my hand, I can force you to discard the top card from your deck or one random card in your hand.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“And revealing a card in your hand….” Lynn realized.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Correct, activates my combo once again. I reveal my Void Altar card from my hand, which means I discard one random card from your hand.” Lynn grumbled as she discarded a monster card to her graveyard. “Then Sealment of the Silent Void activates, placing another Life-Counter on you. After which my Banisher of the Silent Void also activates, dealing you 500 points of damage.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn – 3000 -> 2500 [3 Life-Counters]

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn.” Lynn draws her next card and looks at the three trap cards and one spell card Gakyru had on the field. ‘ ''His combo devastates my deck. I have still no idea to what point the Life-Counters will guide this duel too. I do not know if it benefits me or him.''<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’

By revealing my second Void Soldier from my hand, I can discard 1 card from your deck to the graveyard per Life-Counter on you.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">‘ Damn, so that is one of the effects of the Life-Counters.<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’ Lynn was unhappy as she discarded 4 cards to her graveyard.

Next my face down card flips up, Battle Doom. When a Doom monster attacks, I can deal an additional 300 points of damage to you. Now I attack your Void Soldier with my Doom – Hell Flare! Hell Fire!” Void Soldier was destroyed.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 4500 -> 4000

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Haha,” Gakyru smirked as he spread his arms and his lifepoints went up.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What?!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 4000 -> 4200

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“When my Void Soldier is destroyed, I gain 100 lifepoints for every turn it was on the field. That means it was on the field for two turns, so I gain 200 points in return.” Gakyru looked at Lynn. “But by all means go ahead and use Battle Doom.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 4200 -> 3900

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Next I use Doomed Fusion again and fuse my Hell Flare on my side of the field with my Doom – Hurricane Devastator in my hand.” The two monsters were absorbed into the fusion warp. A newly formed fiendish winged monster appeared on his side of the field. “Appear, Doom – Shadow Infernal Wing (2600/2200)!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Ah, so you added another Doom fusion card to your deck. Surprised you did not summon Infernal Sword Reaper already.” Gakyru spotted, Lynn reaching for her deck. “So you are going to activate the secondary ability of Doomed Fusion?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I discard 2 cards from my deck to my graveyard and add it back to my hand. Then I end my turn.” Lynn lowered her duel disk. ‘ ''I suppose he has more cards that work with his established combo. Either lowering my lifepoints more then he already has done, or forcing me to mill my own deck.''<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn then.” Gakyru draws a new card and smiles as he holds it up. It was a silver-bordered card. “I call this card to be a Monster Card.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">‘ He had drawn an Omnicard!<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“But first I initiate my combo again. Tomb of the Silent Void allows me to reveal a card in my hand and then force you to discard a card from the top of your deck to your graveyard. I reveal White Cross – Angelic Eyes, the Omnicard turned monster card I have just drawn.” Lynn dropped the top card of her deck in her graveyard. “Then my Sealment of the Silent Void activates, placing a Life-Counter on you.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn – 2000 [5 Life-Counters]

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“And then my Banisher of the Silent Void, dealing you 500 lifepoints of damage this turn.” Gakyru smirked as a bolt of lightning once again hit Lynn

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn – 2000 -> 1500 [5 Life-Counters]

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now I remove all Life-Counters from you and remove all monsters in my graveyard from play to special summon White Cross – Angelic Eyes (0/0).” As the red lights around Lynn disappeared, next to Gakyru a gigantic eye appeared with tentacles at the side. “Now this card gains 500 attack points for every Life-Counter removed (ATK: 0 -> 2500). Alas, my Angelic Eyes cannot attack during the turn it is summoned.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Which means your turn is basically over?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I fill my last spell/trap card zone with a face down card and end my turn accordingly.” Gakyru lowered his duel disk and waited for what would come from Lynn, who was shaking a little.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn.” Lynn draws a new card and looks at it. “I activate  Pot of Greed<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, allowing me to draw two cards.” She looked at the left card of the two cards she had drawn. ‘ ''This is the only way I can regain life points to last long enough to pose a threat to him. I have to play it, even though it was the very same card that caused me to end up in a mechanical cocoon.''<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I activate Door to the Other Side as a continuous spell card. As you know now the monsters on my side of the field are treated as Psychic monsters and I regain lifepoints I lost due to battle during the next turn.” As the Door appeared in the surroundings of the Doomed World, a cold shivering went through Lynn. It might be the surroundings in which they duel.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“The cold air is chilling you, now is it?” Gakyru smirked as he looked at Lynn. “By now I activate my Tomb, Sealment and Banisher cards again. First I force you to discard your top card from your deck, by revealing the third Void Soldier in my hand.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn grunted as she discarded her top card.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Then I place 1 Life-Counter on you, plus my Angelic Eyes` effect activates, placing another on you.” Two red lights appeared next to Lynn. “And with Banisher I deal you 500 points of damage.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn – 1500 -> 1000 [2 Life-Counters]

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Then since I reveal a Void card from my hand, my Void Altar activates and allows me to gain 100 lifepoints per card on my field.” Gakyru spread his arms as his altar next to him glowed and gave him energy.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 3900 -> 4500

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Then my final face down card,” Gakyru last face down card flips up. “Cold Void. When I have not attacked during my previous turn I can deal you 300 points of damage. Also I can add a Summon Void or a Summon Cross card from my deck.” He picked a card from his deck.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn – 1000 -> 700 [2 Life-Counters]

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Man why do you give me those Life-Counters?” Lynn wondered when she looked at her two cards. “I play  Card of Sanctity<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, allowing us both to draw until we hold six cards.” She draws a full new hand. “Then I play Doomed Fusion and fuse Light Punisher and Aqua Sniper from my hand to fusion summon Doom – Flash Water (2400/2300)!” A new warrior appeared, existing of rocks and kept together by water.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Ah, a new Doom fusion. Good job.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Special effect activates. I can once per turn send five cards to the graveyard. I choose your back row of cards, which means I finally get rid of the combo. It also forces me to mill my own deck.” She discards five cards to the graveyard, holding a minimal deck now in her deck slot. “Now go! Shadow Infernal Wing! Destroy White Cross – Angelic Eyes!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Haha.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Shadow Infernal Wing gains 100 attack points for every levelstar of Angelic Eyes, which is 10, so it gains 1,000 attack points (ATK: 2600 -> 3600).” As the fiery blast from the wings of the magma covered wing men hit the eye, Gakyru just smirked and when the smoke left, the eye was still there.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Once per turn my Angelic Eyes can lower Battle Damage to 0, which means the 1100 lifepoints you meant for are actually absorbed by Angelic Eyes. And as your Flash Water is not strong enough, I guess your Battle Phase has ended.” Gakyru smirked.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Not before Battle Doom activates!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 4500 -> 4200

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“And since your cards were not destroyed, they cannot activate their lifepoints regaining effects, which is a shame as I am mounting my counter-attack now!” Lynn inserted a card in her duel disk and lowered it. “I end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“A pity you hoped it was over for you already. Because I am far from done. Angelic Eyes allows me to drop 1 Life-Counter on you again.” Another red light joined the three existing already. “Next I draw.” He draws a new card and smirks. “I declare this card to be a trap card.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">‘ Another Omnicard?<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’

Once per turn this card can mimic the effect of a card in my graveyard. I choose it to mimic my Tomb of the Silent Void and reveal my Void Soldier from my hand, to force you and discard a card from the top of your deck.” Gakyru straightened his back as he looked at Lynn. “Next I mount my attack against your Doom – Flash Water!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Counter! Blood Shield! Although it does not stop the attack, I can deal half the damage to you and half of the damage to me!” Lynn countered.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn – 700 -> 650 <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 4200 -> 4150

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn – 650 [4 Life-Counters] <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 4150

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I don’t know.”

Blake walked a bit forth over the broken floor of whatever level they were under the arena and saw far below the light of the duel between Lynn and Gakyru.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Blake!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gillian pushes Blake out of the way as a mechanical cocoon came  Falling Down<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> from the hole above. Gillian and Blake sat down in a corner as more and more mechanical cocoons came  Falling Down<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> from above.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What the heck is happening?” Gillian wondered. “I know these are those cocoons with people inside, but why are they transported down there. What is going on there?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I don’t know but we have to find out in order to stop Gakyru and save Kaito, Jennifer, Jason and Grace. Whatever Gakyru is doing to them, we need to get them out of here and maybe even beat him.” Blake looked around finding a way down. The way down was rather slow to get down. “You know the best way maybe to get down there is take a lift again.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You mean jump onto one of those thing?” Gillian asked, pointing up. Blake looked up, seeing another group of cocoons coming down. “Sure if you are sure it is safe.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I am not sure of anything now. You can also try to get back up, but it is a long time up. I am down when you are up.” Blake joked and Gillian looked at him. “Okay, I did not say anything wrong now.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“No you did not. But don’t even think about me leaving you now. We are going to do this together. If Ken and the others can’t get down that is their problem, we are doing this together.” Gillian took Blake`s hand and they walked down the small path. As the new group of cocoons slowly approached them from above, Blake was about to take a leap and jump, but first made sure Gillian was on one of them, slowly moving down. Blake jumped on another and grabbed the sides quickly not to fall down. They slowly descended into the seemingly endless way down.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">---

They were surrounded by monsters. One was a female priestess, in white golden robes. She had a bright green gem on the front head. Another one was an armored warrior, in purple-red armor and a black mask. He had a burned face below the mask. There were a few humanoid beast warriors around them.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Who are you?” spoke the high-pitched voice of the priestess.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My name is Paul and that is Rebecca. Where exactly are we? Is this the place where my former friends found their faith?” Paul started asking questions and Rebecca was behind him. “Better to ask from us, who are you?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I am Casseius, a guardian Duel Spirit of the first of the priests of this temple. You have entered sacred grounds. The grounds where the ancient darkness that has existed from the beginning of time has not come upon since a long time ago.” The priestess floated over to Rebecca, who was shivering a little. “Are you cold, my dear?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Y-yes.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Casseius nodded to the fires and they lighted up more and more and Rebecca stopped shivering. She then flicked with her fingers and the beast warriors around them came around pillars with an arch. They put the arch in front of Casseius and the arch was filled with bright blue light. The purple-red armored duel warrior stood in front of the arch.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What is the meaning of this?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My name is Reias, I am the Sword Guardian of Lady Casseius. We are both spirits of the first generation of priests of this temple. This temple once was the glorious Temple of Eonis. And before we can let you leave or tell you more you have to undergo your challenge.” Reias stepped back as Casseius hovered the arch into the air and the light plunged two spirits into the temple area.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I know these.” Rebecca realized. She did not play much Duel-Monsters but she knew a lot of cards. “ Wingweaver<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> and  Celestia, Lightsworn Angel<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">The one was indeed a big six-winged fairy in a golden dress appeared from the arch and along it came a white-golden armored female warrior with two wings. As they appeared Paul automatically backed down as Rebecca was left alone in front of the arch.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What is going on?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I think you have to spirit battle them.” Paul replied and Rebecca looked his way, wondering what he meant. “You have to search your soul for your Duel Spirit if you want to beat them and get away alive.”

Wingweaver<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> and Celestia were both hovering in the air as they charged blasts and fired them at the ground. Rebecca duck and they missed her on the spot. However Celestia was quick to fire another one from her staff, but Rebecca dodged it again, by jumping behind Reias. As Paul had sought higher ground.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What am I supposed to do?”

Reach out to me.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What?”

Reach out to me and find out.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Rebecca dodged another attack, by running around the circle, slipping a little since she still was wet from the way down. She closed her eyes as a purple aura started to surround her. A Spellcaster materialized next to her. She was wearing the famous blue-purple robes and had a purple hat.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“ Dark Magician Girl<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">?”

That is right.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">As Celestia charged another blast onto Rebecca, this time  Dark Magician Girl<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> took the hit for her. She spread out her arms and the gem on her chest glowed.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Life force absorption!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">As  Dark Magician Girl<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> then raised her staff, she blew away Celestia and  Wingweaver<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> in one move, quickly overpowering them. They disappeared through the ground and Reias and Casseius both nodded.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You have passed your test.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn,” Lynn draws her next card and looks at it. “Activate Doomed Transfusion. Now by removing Doomed Fusion, Shadow Infernal Wing and Flash Water from play, I summon forth Doom – Infernal Lightning Wing (4000/3000)!” From the  Fusion Gate<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> a new dragon appeared. He was all skeletal, but there was flash left below the skeletal structure.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I was waiting for that card ever since you played both Shadow Infernal Wing and Flash Water.” Gakyru smirked. He then pointed to Summon Void I. “This card mimics my Tomb of the Silent Void again, forcing you to discard the top card from your deck by revealing Void Soldier.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Infernal Lightning Wing deals you 1000 points of damage when successfully summoned.” Lynn was breathing heavily. It was difficult to keep up the pace with Gakyru. She could not regain lifepoints, her Door to the Other Side only worked on Battle Damage.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 4150 -> 3150

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now I attempt to attack you again!” Lynn ordered as her dragon raised into the air. “Infernal Lightning Wing, destroy his Angelic Eyes! Lightning Breath!” The dragon opened his mouth and shot out a blast of lightning. “When it attacks successfully I can deal an additional 500 points of damage to you as Battle Damage.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Forgot, foolish child?” Gakyru countered and the eye glowed. “My Angelic Eyes can negate Battle Damage once per turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Oh, I did not forget. However this allows me to activate the effect of the following monster in my deck, Doom Killer (300/300). When Battle Damage is negated, this card is summoned to the field.” Lynn smiled as a new fiend appeared on her side of the field. It was a horned beast. “Now this card can wage battle again.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Why? It is far weaker then my Angelic Eyes!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Correct, but not for long. When it battles, I can raise its attack power by your Angelic Eyes` attack power (ATK: 300 -> 2800). Dark Killer, attack! Killer Needle<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> Burst!” Lynn ordered and finally destroyed the Angelic Eye.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 4150 -> 2850

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“And because of Battle Doom I deal you an additional 300 points of damage.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 2850 -> 2550

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Haha,” Gakyru smirked as the place where White Cross – Angelic Eye was previously glowed with green energy. The earth started rumbling and from the ground a new creature appeared. It was a wyvern, emerald colored. It had one big horn on its nose. “You have destroyed my Angelic Eye, but you have brought forward a more terrifying power. Meet your maker, Void Wavern (?/?)!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Undefined attack strength?!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now yes, but once his effect activates you’ll speak differently. You see, this card gains double the Battle Damage that Angelic Eye negated (ATK/DEF: ?/? -> 5200/5200 (2600*2)).” Gakyru smirked.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">‘ Great.<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’ Lynn dropped a card in her duel disk. “I end my turn and since I need to destroy my Dark Killer then I do so.” The fiend disappeared from her field.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn.” Gakyru shifts a new card from his deck. “I activate Summon Cross I, a card similar to my Summon Void I. I select my Angelic Eye card in my graveyard and have Summon Cross I treated as its spell card version. Now I can this turn negate the Battle Damage once.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“That is not all, now is it?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“No, indeed. Now I summon forth my third Void Soldier (1700/1200). Next I choose to attack your Infernal Lightning Wing with my Void Wavern! Collision of Shadows!” Gakyru ordered and the wyvern flew up, firing a heated blast of black energy at Lynn, whose monster was blown up. “However all Battle Damage is cut in half.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn – 650 -> 50 [4 Life-Counters]

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Please end it.” Lynn managed to shout as she looked at the towering wyvern and the tinier soldier next to it.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Oh, I am not letting you go that easily.” Gakyru smirked and he pointed at Void Soldier. “Void Soldier, attack her directly!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn already was on her knees as she was brought down by Void Wavern and the sword of Void Soldier made a large cut on her arm and her face. However her life point counter did not go down.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I utilize the effect of Summon Cross I and negate the Battle Damage of that attack.” Gakyru was actually taking pleasure in the torture of Lynn. She was cut open over her arms and had various scratches on her face. “I end my turn with this card face down.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“M-my t-turn. I ……. play ……. my face down card,  Call Of The Haunted<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">. I-I summon fo- ….. forth Doom – Infernal Lightning W-wing.” As the fiendish dragon returned to her side of the field. “N-now, Infernal ….. Lightning Wing, attack his Void Soldier!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 2850 -> 50

For every Life-Counter placed on you, I can regain 500 points.” Gakyru pointed at the four red lights around Lynn. “You’ll never beat me without a fight.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I-I regain half of the Battle Damage that I lost  Last Turn<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> due to Door to the Other Side.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn – 50 -> 350 <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 50 -> 2050

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Continue turn. Activate spell card Doom or ….. v-voi…… Void,” Lynn brought out with difficulty as she dropped the spell card into her duel disk. “P-place 5 Doom-C….Counters on my Infernal Lightning Wing. A-as l….long as there is at least o-one on Infernal Lightning Wing, it cannot be destroyed in b-b-battle.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“An insurance. That is very clever.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I end my turn.” Lynn once again grabbed her stomach and more blood gutted out of her wounds on her arm.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Then it is time to finish this.” Gakyru draws his next card. “Exactly the card I need, Counter Festival. By removing any amount of counters from the field, I regain 300 points of damage. Say goodbye to your Doom-Counters.” All the extra shining around Infernal Lightning Wing disappeared.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 2050 -> 3550

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now Void Wavern attack Infernal Lightning Wing! Destroy it! Destroy Master Lynn!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">The dragon raised into the air, fired a blast of pure darkness at Lynn. She did not even attempt to counter it. She was to tired, to hurt to do anything. All she had been fighting for, all she had been hoping for, all fell apart as Infernal Lightning Wing was destroyed and her life point counter slowly dropped.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn – 350 -> 0 <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gakyru – 3550

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">As Lynn fell on the ground, she was unconscious. She did not move and Gakyru simply walked past her, shoving her aside with his foot as Void Wavern was still active around him. He looked up above and saw a group of mechanical cocoons appearing, hovering down to the place where he was. What he did not see was that Blake and Gillian had grabbed them and hang on there for their dear life.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“This is the beginning of a new and perfect world!” Gakyru smirked as the few cocoons that were around them were slowly hovering into the archway, the Sacred Temple Gate where the Silent Core was. “Nobody can stop me.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Lynn was raised into the air and did not disappear through the Door to the Other Side that was active on the field, but through the Sacred Temple Gate as well. Gakyru was alone, awaiting the last of the cocoons.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Nobody can oppose me now!”

There is no life in a world filled with death.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Paul smiled as he came down to the same level where Rebecca was as well and  Dark Magician Girl<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> had stayed as well. Reias and Casseius, the two ancient duel spirits that had put her to the test, had lowered their staff and blade.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Don’t you need to do the test?” Rebecca asked Paul and Paul shakes his head.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I have done it the first time. I did not need to do it a second time.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You and Gaspar whatever were the only two that ever passed the test?” Rebecca asked the obvious question. “The only ever?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“No.” Reias spoke and he pointed to a tablet near the door. “Many have tried, but only a few have succeeded. You see many have found this temple, the Temple of Eonis and many have tried to get their hands on whatever artifacts there were present in here. We have succeeded in defending this temple for a long time, but there will be a time that we will be unable to defend it.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Defend it from whom?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“First there were the Rare Hunters, who thought they could actually find a former resting place of the Nameless Pharaoh here. And they were wrong and never returned to the world of the living. The biggest thread however was when the world was shrouded into darkness, even bigger when the Orichalcos ruled with fear over the world. Only when the darkness was defeated at Duel Academy, we had years that were quite. But of course the growing thread of Yliaster bothered us the most.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“They are from the Light, they would never help Darkness.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“But do you decide where the line between Light and Dark is placed? Isn’t the veil between Light and Dark slowly diminishing?” Casseius continued. “The Silver Order is an organization of the Dark.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Okay let’s get this straight. So we did not find all these artifacts by coincidence?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yes indeed. You did not find these artifacts by coincidence because this island has been found already for millennia.” Casseius replied and she pointed to a door, which opened up almost instantly. “If you are interested in more, we can venture further.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yes, I would like to see more.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">---

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What the hell is happening?!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Ken was able to keep Yuni and Lance from the side of the hole where through all the mechanical cocoons had disappeared, along with Blake and Gillian. It was storming above the stadium and lightning flashes came down from the sky.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I don’t know. But it is too dangerous to go down there.” Laurence replied and he joined Ken and the others below the stands for shelter. “Weird things are going on here.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yes, tell me about it.” Lance and Yuni replied at the same time as they checked the hallway behind them for survivors. Most of the police force had returned inside to scout for survivors. “I think something big is going on below us.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yes.” Ken agreed and he looked to the hole. “Just hope Blake knows what he is doing.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">To be continued……….

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Took a while but here it is.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">I have added a new section to the Infinity Hunter forums, in which a guide to all Duel Spirits are placed. They are placed in every season section (the CAC sections), so that is where they will be found. Also updates to the Duel Spirit`s bio`s will be updated in the season where they first appeared, unless it is a Duel-Spirit that has already appeared, but another character gains the same duel spirit.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Doom – Flash Water is created by Happyloo. The entire Doom deck is his and many fusions he made have not been used, but maybe someday I will be able too. For now this was the last duel of Lynn.
