Respecting duels or whatever, it doesn't matter!
But the fact that their beloved cards could only be thrown away, no one would like that——
So, I will use these cards for them! Keep them safe for them, until one day they can be rebuilt at the Integration Department——by my reconstruction!"
Even though at the beginning, it was through his brother's fame and his treasured notebook that he became friends with those people.
But seeing them throw away their beloved monsters, his heart felt as if it had been pierced by something.
What did they do wrong!?
They knew nothing!
So——
Before it's all over——he will be the "Gravekeeper".
Guarding these cards!
"Polymerization!
Using the Fusion Material Monster [Warrior Dai Grepher] of Ryu Senshi and the UFOroid in hand for fusion!"
"Fusion Summon!
UFOroid Fighter!"
On a round little UFO, Warrior Dai Grepher stood, gripping the UFO, staring ahead.
UFOroid Fighter, LV 10, Light Attribute, Machine-Type, ATK?
"The ATK of UFOroid Fighter is the combined value of the Fusion Materials…" Judai naturally knew the effect of this monster and looked at it, "Well done, Shou!"
UFOroid Fighter, ATK: 2900
"Due to the effect of Power Bond, its ATK will be doubled!"
UFOroid Fighter, ATK: 2900 → 5800.
"Five thousand eight!?"
"Really? It actually surpasses Five-Headed Dragon so easily?"
"And it's really Light Attribute…"
Shou glanced at Judai, nodding in gratitude in his heart.
Thank you, big brother——
"It's not over yet!"
"Activate the effect of Mixeroid in the Graveyard!
Pay half my Life Points, banish a Machine-Type monster from the Graveyard including this card, and Special Summon a Fusion Monster with the same number of levels of [Roid] monsters from your Deck regardless of its conditions. This monster summoned by this effect is destroyed during the End Phase!"
"I will banish 6 Machine-Type monsters from my Graveyard!"
"Come forth!"
"Steam Gyroid!"
A steam train with rotors nested on its body appeared on his field.
Steam Gyroid, LV 6, Earth Attribute, Machine-Type, ATK 2200.
Just 100 points higher than Cyber Dragon.
Marufuji Shou, LP: 3600 → 1800.
"Battle, have UFOroid Fighter attack Five-Headed Dragon!"
Grepher gripped the longsword tightly, piloting the UFO towards Five-Headed Dragon.
This unfortunate monster, no matter when it comes out, always gets killed by the big brother who's Light Attribute.
"Activate the Set Card, Power Wall! Send cards from the Deck to the Graveyard instead of taking damage!"
Boom——
The Five-Headed Dragon was cut in two by Grepher's full force, then exploded, while Caesar remained unharmed.
Hell Caesar took out 8 cards from the Deck, threw them out, forming a wall to block the damage.
A Power of Life, a Power Wall.
The brothers, if nothing else, at least their defense thoughts are quite aligned.
"Then, Steam Gyroid attack Cyber Dragon!" Marufuji Shou didn't care about the cards, Akaba Leo's appearance gave him a shock, not in the mood to respect the duel, respect the opponent.
"Activate Trap Card again! Evil God's Disaster! Activate during the opponent's Battle Phase! Destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the field!"
Boom——
Hell Caesar, LP: 3200 → 3100.
Simultaneously, the Continuous Trap Card Power of Life was swept away by the sudden strong wind.
"Before Steam Gyroid is destroyed by the effect, I activate Spell Card, Mystik Wok! Sacrifice 1 monster on the field to regain Life Points equal to its ATK or DEF."
"Oh! By avoiding effect destruction this way, and recovering Life Points?"
Marufuji Shou, LP: 1800 → 4000
"Finally, during the End Phase, I will take the damage from Power Bond's effect, losing LP equal to the original ATK of the Fusion Monster, which is 2900..."
He gritted his teeth, enduring this damage.
Marufuji Shou LP: 4000 → 1100.
"Losing this much Life Points in one go?"
"But as long as the Five-Headed Dragon is destroyed, everything should be acceptable, right?"
"Yes. An ATK of 5800 isn't so easily defeated."
"My turn, draw." Hell Caesar wasn't concerned about the voices around him.
He looked at the card he drew, a smile playing on his lips.
He looked towards the opponent.
Shou.
It looks like you've indeed grown.
But it's not enough.
It's far from enough——
He glanced at Judai and the somewhat dazed Fubuki.
He had naturally heard about the Fusion Army, but he wasn't concerned with such matters.
All he wanted was victory, just victory.
Just like Tenjo Hikari lived for fusion.
Realizing this came a bit late for him, and everyone else had their own confusions.
Shou is just barely on the right track, but ultimately, it's others' regrets pushing him.
It's not enough, far from enough!
"Hahahahahaha——don't blink, Shou, this will be the last monster you see!"
"Activate Spell Card.
Cyberdark Impact!!"
Here it comes!
Marufuji Shou stayed alert.
"This card lets you return Cyberdark Horn, Cyberdark Edge, Cyberdark Keel from your hand·field·graveyard to the Deck and Fusion Summon one Cyberdark Dragon!"
Wait, where are those cards?
"I return Cyberdark Edge from my hand, and Cyberdark Keel, Cyberdark Horn from the Graveyard to the Deck!"
It's Power Wall——
"Fusion Summon! Cyberdark Dragon!"
A strangely shaped, black Cyber Dragon with blade-like wings roared to the sky, appearing on the field.
Cyberdark Dragon, LV 8, Dark Attribute, Machine-Type, ATK 1000.
At the same time, Marufuji Ryo felt an electric current; he quickly adapted to the current, then continued: "Cyberdark Dragon can equip one Dragon-Type monster from the Graveyard to increase its ATK by that monster's ATK!"
In the Graveyard, Five-Headed Dragon was dragged up by Cyberdark Dragon; countless wires wrapped around its body, causing it to cry out in pain.
Cyberdark Dragon, ATK: 1000 → 6000.
"That's not all! Cyberdark Dragon's ATK increases by 100 for each card in the Graveyard!"
Cyberdark Dragon, ATK: 6000 → 7200.
"An ATK of 7200!?"
"This is insane... isn't it a bit too much?"
"This is Hell Caesar?"
Previously considering causing trouble for Hell Caesar, Duelists quickly hid behind the crowd after witnessing it.
"It's battle time! Shou!"
Shou clenched his fist, facing his brother head-on.
He wanted to duel his brother because there was confusion and hesitation in his heart.
And now, having solidified his resolve towards dueling, he felt no fear.
"Cyberdark Dragon attacks UFOroid Fighter!"
"Complete Dark Burst!"
Cyberdark Dragon's mouth sent out waves of sonic booms, infinite darkness enveloped the warrior on the UFO, who, looking around, trying to prepare to counter, screamed before he could finish his effort, shattering into pieces!
"Aaaaaah!!"
At the same time.
Black currents manifested on Marufuji Shou, he screamed, crying out in pain, feeling his life slipping away.
Marufuji Shou, LP: 1100 → 0.
The terrible current almost knocked him down, right as someone appeared beside him, supporting him so he wouldn't fall, he turned around, saw it was Dennis from the Integration Department.
"You can't give up now, Rep!" Dennis smiled broadly.
"Ha..." Marufuji Shou couldn't help but laugh.
With Dennis's support, Marufuji Shou stood back up, attempting to say something to his brother, only to find Hell Caesar not paying him any attention, turning away, heading towards the station, still saying, "Disappear, loser."
"Shou!"
Judai and Tyranno Kenzan rushed over, asking about his condition.
"Did I improve, big brother?"
"Impressive, Shou, I think... even Hikari would praise you." Judai gave a thumbs up.
Meanwhile, instead of heading to the ceremonial area with his sister as planned, Fubuki ran directly behind Caesar, jumping over, wrapping an arm around his shoulder: "Haha, Ryo! You've been doing well in recent tournaments!"
Bringing up subjects best left alone.
"Wait a second, brother! Ryo finds it troubling——" Asuka followed helplessly.
And so, this side's team was decided.
