Chapter 20: Final Contact
Location: Abandoned Apartment roof, time: 7:30 pm
Kaiza: ill go first
Kaiza: ill summon lyla, lightsworn sorceress to the field, and set 2 cards face down (call of the haunted, emergency teleport) and end my turn, sending 3 cards from the top of my deck to the grave (gorz the emissary of darkness, junk synchron, dark hole)
Ronzo(hacker entity): hahahaha, just as expected
Ronzo(hacker entity): my turn. Ill summon Reborn Tengu to the field, and have it attack lyla, lightsworn sorceress
Kaiza: fine, ill discard honest from my hand, to increase lyla's attack by your monster's attack
Kaiza: get that card off the field ! (Ronzo's lp: 6300)
Ronzo(hacker entity): This one gets off, but another takes his place from my deck to the field
Ronzo: ill set 2 cards face down (trap stun, mirror force) and end my turn
Kaiza: 2 more would have done you better !
*meanwhile, Xanxus and the rest of the group are still being chased across the city by the Chimeratech Fortress Dragon, still blasting beams at them which dig through the ground and uplifting the entire road around them*
Ageha: (panting) since when were soul hackers capable of this ?!
Xanxus: it was only recently that it was discovered soul hackers were capable of this (panting) obtained from Enrion's records
Xanxus: (panting) from one of her team's base of operations (panting) which wasn't used in some time !
Xanxus: (panting) its also where we found the 1st and strongest soul duel disc to date (panting) and where we were able to get the data needed
Xanxus: (panting) to perform this !
*with those words, Xanxus springs to the side away from the path of the beams, and clutches his soul trigger, activating it. The soul trigger surrounds him with a small whirlwind, and he plays a card from his deck*
Xanxus: card summon, flamvell -
*but before he could finish, the fortress dragon quickly sticks his tail and broows into the ground, bringing its tail up under Xanxus. He dodges it, but in doing so, loses hold of his card and stumbles some distance away from the monster and his group*
Ageha and Chris: Xanxus !
Kessiler: damit ....
*the group rushes back to Xanxus' aid, but the dragon then quickly recoils its tail and uproots it in front the path of the group, making them flinch and stumble. Then, it quickly fires a beam on the ground so pwerful that it uproots the base rock beneath the road and hurls the group back some distance, leaving Xanxus alone with it.*
Xanxus: (thinking) god (censored)..............this isn't the way I'd imagine it'd end !
*Xanxus braces himself as the Fortress Dragon charges another beam for Xanxus, a shadow of a person flies right past Ageha, Kessiler, Chris and Xanxus, on a direct course with the fortress dragon. The dragon pauses, only to get a double fist to the top of its head, knocking it downward. At the same time, in mid air, the attacker opens his arms, and 2 miniature rockets fire at the dragon, 1 from each hand, hitting the fortres dragon and sending it reeling to the floor. The attacker then lands to the floor as the dragon picks up its bearings and aims for him instead*
Xanxus: what the -
Machina Gearframe: leave while you can
Machina Gearframe: I should be enough for it
*the gearframe then activates his duel disc and plays a spell card on it*
Machina Gearframe: Card activation, enemy controller !
*then, in his next hand, what appears to be a console controller suddenly appears in his hand. He spins the controller cord a bit as the dragon lunges towards him, attacking the cord to the beak of the dragon. Then, pulling the entire cord down with his 2 arms, he brings the dragon to the floor. Meanwhile*
Kaiza: my turn
Kaiza: ill activate Lyla's effect, switching it to defense mode and destroying your face down card (mirror force)
Kaiza: now, ill activate emergency teleport, and special summon krebons from my deck
Kaiza: synchro summon using lyla, lightsworn sorcerer and krebons, to summon tempest magician, with 1 counter attached
Kaiza: now ill use her effect, and remove the counter to inflict 500 points of damage
Ronzo(hacker entity): urgh .... (Ronzo's lp: 5800)
Kaiza: now, tempest magician attacks reborn tengu (Ronzo's lp: 5300)
Ronzo(hacker entity):grah, ill summon 1 more from my deck
Kaiza: your last one, just like this is your last battle !
*Ronzo, a bit weak from the damage, drops down to 1 knee, holding the next one with his hand*
Kaiza: all my life since the incident at this apartment, I've searched for answers as to why it happened !
*Kaiza then points towards Ronzo*
Kaiza: you !
Kaiza: you are the answer to what happened and you will know not how I felt
Kaiza: but how each, and every one of them you took felt !
Ronzo(hacker entity): hehehehehehe
Kaiza: ??
Ronzo(hacker entity):hehehahahaha
Ronzo(hacker entity): HAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!
Kaiza: !!
*as Ronzo continues to laugh, the black whirlwind around him grows bigger and bigger, eventually so big that it overshadow's Kaiza's own, and Ronzo gets off his knees and stands upright*
Ronzo(hacker entity): Finally !
Ronzo(hacker entity): you know all about how we felt and Finally
Ronzo(hacker entity): I've found my target !
Kaiza: (thinking)how did he grow much stronger ?!
Kaiza: (thinking) he was never this strong when we first met
Ronzo(hacker entity): so who's turn is it ?!
Ronzo(hacker entity): Mine, or yours ?
Kaiza: grrr
Kaiza: I end my turn
Kaiza: do your worst !
Ronzo(hacker entity): Gladly !
Ronzo(hacker entity): first, ill activate trap stun, negating all traps for this turn !
Ronzo(hacker entity): now ill summon blackwing-gale the whirlwind to the field, and synchro summon reborn tengu and blackwing-gale the whirlwind, to summon Blackwing Armor Master
Ronzo(hacker entity): next ill activate monster reborn, and special summon krebons from your grave
Ronzo(hacker entity): now ill use mind control and take control of tempest magician, and use them to synchro summon stardust dragon
Ronzo(hacker entity): now ill remove from play reborn tengu and blackwing-gale the whirlwind, to summon dark simorgh to the field
Ronzo(hacker entity): wanted to see the worst I can do ?!
Kaiza:
Ronzo(hacker entity): HERE IT IS ! (Kaiza's lp: 300)
*the blast is so strong it shakes the building, making it sink into the ground a bit. meanwhile, Xanxus and his group are re united, while the machina gearframe continues to fight the chimeratech fortress dragon*
Ageha: we cant just leave him there !
Xanxus: if we go we'll be in his way ! (placing his card back in his deck and shutting his duel disc off)
*then suddenly, the chimeratech fortress dragon rages and pulls gearframe off the floor, swinging him in the air by his end of the controller into a car, totaling it. As he gets up from the blow, the fortress dragon quickly tunnels into the road, and, while gearframe tries to anticipate where it'll come from, its head suddenly pops up a short distance from it, and fires a beam at him. He dodgesit, but then the dragon's tail emerges behind him, stabbing him in the back and boring a hole through him, with him imapled on it*
Ageha: oh my (censored) god !
Xanxus: (thinking) damit !
*the fortress dragon swings his tail with the gearframe impaled on it, until he is flung off and hits a building, doing damage to the building and himself before landing lifelessly to the floor. Meanwhile, at the apartment, the smoke from the blast and the small tremor it caused has cleared. Ronzo is crouching on the floor, the whirlwind around him smaller, but still large, with him watching at Kaiza, hos own whirlwind barely visible, with him almost motionless on the floor*
Ronzo(hacker entity): The chimeratech fortress dragon I summoned has dealt with duelist the likes of which you're never seen
Ronzo(hacker entity): Neither your group nor that machine stands a chance
Ronzo(hacker entity): To think you humans would grow so desperate as to make a machine to do your task
Ronzo(hacker entity): so typical of your wretched kind
Ronzo(hacker entity): (sighs) to think I'd have to return one year later to finish a job that should have already been finished long ago
Kaiza: (straining) grrrrr .............
Ronzo(hacker entity): yes.....it was me
*Year: 2134, time: 9:00 pm, Location, New Domino Apartment*
*a knock on the door is heard as a girl rushes to the door*
Fuio: Yessssss ?
*she opens the door to see who's knocking, and see's a guy with a black hood on*
Fuio: hmm ?
Ronzo: Card activation, Mind control
Fuio: hgh -
*Fuio is placed in a trance and surrounded by a small, black silent whirlwind, as the person proceeds up the floors of the apartment, knocking on every door with fuio following him. As the patrons come out the door, they too are placed in the same trance and black whirlwind as her, and this continues until he reaches the apartment roof. Above them, what appears to be a black could hovers high above, overshadowing the apartment only. Ronzo the turns to watch fuio, still in a trance*
Ronzo: anyone within this apartment uses duel monsters ?
Fuio(mind controlled): ...............
Ronzo: Answer me !
Fuio(mind controlled) no, there is no one here who uses such material
Ronzo: well then, I wasted my time here..........
*Ronzo then raises his hand into the air*
Ronzo: well, not entirely
*with thosw words, he becomes surrounded by a black whirlwind larger than all the others, and the cloud above starts to spiral as lighting fires from it, as the cloud sucks up any loose object from the apartment*
*flashback ends*
Ronzo(hacker entity): our target was you, but you could not be found, so we decided to add more members to our army
Ronzo(hacker entity): so it wont be a complete waste of time
Ronzo(hacker entity): and with you here, we know now that we've found what we came for
Ronzo(hacker entity): the only person who has soul strength close to that of Enrion herself
*Ronzo gets off the ground and points his hand to the sky*
Ronzo(hacker entity): is no more !
Kaiza: you mean you are no more .....
Ronzo(hacker entity): hmm ?
*Ronzo puts his hands down as Kaiza starts to get off the floor, the whirlwind around him growing larger and larger, meanwhile. At where Xanxus is the chmeratech fortress dragon turns his attention to them.*
Xanxus and Kessiler: oh (censored) !
*the group tries to run again, but the fortress dragon tunnels underneath and emerges in front of them, making them fall and blocking their path, while charging another beam. While the group braces themselves, 2 rockets fire at the dragon, exploding in its mouth and sending it reeling again.*
Xanxus: huh ?!
Kessiler: my (censored) god ...
*the group turns around to see machina gearrame, still with a hole in its stomach, standing with his arms pointed towards the dragon. He drops his arms and activates his duel disc, placing 1 card face down on it, and activating 2 more*
Machina Gearframe: final contact proceedure, now active
Machina Gearframe: activate spell card, foolish burial, target, machina fortress
Machina Gearframe: activate solidarity
*with the activation of it, machina gearframe is surrounded by a small white whirlwind, similar to kaiza's own. The fortress also gets his bearings and lunges towards him, and the machina gearframe does the same. At the same time*
Kaiza: do you end your turn ?!
Ronzo(hacker entity): heh, so you can still move after alll
Ronzo(hacker entity): Lets see what you got !
Kaiza: your wish ....
Kaiza: activate call of the haunted, and special summon tempest magician to the field
Kaiza: now ill remove lyla, lightsworn sorceress and Junk Synchron to summon chaos sorcerer, and use his effect to remove stardust dragon from play
Kaiza: now ill summon glow up builb, and sychro summon using chaos sorcerer and glow up bulb, arcanite magician, with 2 counters
Kaiza: and ill use those counters to destroy your other 2 monsters
Ronzo(hacker entity): hu...
Kaiza: now, ill use glow up bulb's effect, and send the top card of my deck to the grave (ryko, lightsworn hunter) to special summon it to the field
Kaiza: synchro summon using arcanite magician and glow up bulb, avenging knight parshath
*Kaiza stares at the last card in his hand, reluctant to play it*
Kaiza: screw you Ronzo
Kaiza: ill remove from play ryko, lightsworn hunter and chaos sorcerer, to special summon this card !
*upon the summon, a dark green skinned dragon, with a white helmet and red hair extending from it, and red wings, appears on the field. Its presence is so strong it overshadows Ronzo's whirlwind and causes a hole in the black clouds above, revealing the night sky on them*
Kaiza: by the way, that machine is more human than you'll ever be !
Kaiza: and this is for all the lives you took !
Kaiza: full assault (Ronzo's lp:0)
*at the same time the duel takes place, Machina Gearframe, with fists clenched, finally reaches up on the chimeratech fortress dragon. But before he makes contact, he activates one more card*
Machina Gearframe: card activation, limiter removal
*the activation causes sparks and explosions all over the gearframe's body, but makes his hand red hot, as he collides with the dragon. The collision is so fierce that it explodes the fortress dragon, who's parts scatter and disappear before they hit the ground. As for machian Gearframe himself, his body tumbles and rolls rapidly across the floor, breaking his parts up even more than before, until he lands on a car, lying on the ground, broken apart with wires coming from the openings. The group slowly approaches him as sparks still fly out from his body*
Kessiler: gearframe ....?
Machina Gearframe: final contact................ operation......................complete ...
* with those words. The sparks stop and the gearframe powers down, showing no form of life. Meanwhile, on the rooftop, the smoke from the explosion finally clears and the duel is over, but the hole in the clouds still hoer above. Ronzo's whirlwind is gone and he struggles to stand, while Kaiza takes his soul trigger off, removing his*
Ronzo: all this time ..........
Ronzo: all this time.......we never thought we'd ever find anyone..........on a soul strength even remotely close to that of the 5th duel legend
Ronzo: Enrion ...........Cor-
Kaiza: hm ?
*before he could finish, a breeze blows by, and Ronzo's body is blown away as dust, removing any trace of him*
Kaiza: so its over ....
*kaiza, weak all over his body, falls to his knees and looks up at the night sky as the clouds disperse and vanish*
Kaiza: (thinking) its finally over
Kaiza: (thinking) finally
Kaiza: !
*with that last thought, Kaiza rushes down the door of the apartment, and down the stairs to the ground floor, running at full speed to where Xanxus and the rest were*
Location: battle site of Machina Gearframe and Chimeratech Fortress dragon, time: 8:30 pm
*Kaiza finally reaches their last location, and sees the carnage through the smoke left by the battle. Then, up on one of the pieces of uplifted road, he sees a figure standing on it
Kaiza: who's there ?!
Kessiler: who do you think it is you (censored) ?!
Kaiza: -_-
Kaiza: (thinking) they're fine
*Kaiza goes to where Kessiler is, and follows her to the rest of the group, who they meet up with shortly after, dusty and appearing as if they were handled roughly*
Kaiza: how is everyone else ?
Xanxus: other than super dusty, we're fine
Ageha: except that CyberZane is
CyberZane: here
*in the distance, through the dust, they can see Cyberzane walking towards them, holding one arm and looking as roughed up as the rest of them*
Xanxus: you look like you've been through hell
CyberZaneL why dont you deal with 20 hackers at once and see how you come out !
Xanxus: 20 ?
Xanxus: what a noob
CyberZane: anyway, how is everyone ?
CyberZane: and we best leave before the cops and everyone else gets here
Kessiler: everyone is fine except for one ...
Kaiza and Cyberzane: who ?
Kessiler: .....................
*the group goes off to where Machina Gearframe was, and Kaiza sees for himself the broken up body left*
Ageha: ..............
Chris: ................
Tide: ................
Kessiler: he saved us from the Chimeratech Ftroress dragon, using limiter removal to destroy it
Kessiler: but I guess it really does affect all machines ....
Kaiza: ...............
*Kaiza walks up to its body and lifts it off the ground, holding as much of it as possible*
Kessiler: .....................
Kaiza: lets go .....
*With that, the group goes towards the nearest city exit, leaving the city before everyone wakes up*
