Yu-Gi-Oh! ZD: Rise Of The Dragons (A Yu-Gi-Oh! Fanfiction) - Chapter 9

A short time earlier, at the computer control centre of the WDC and all of Heartland City. All hell had broken loose.

*BEEEP! BEEEP! BEEEP!*

Alarms were blaring as warning lights flashed red throughout the room. Numerous operators were trying to talk over each other as new data was coming in.

“Unknown energy signature detected.”

“Feedback level has reach 40%, 42%, 45% it’s still rising.”

“Incoming duel data is degrading.”

“Network stability is falling, switch to circuit D.”

“Trace it! Lockdown the network node.”

“Location fix at point 56:324:7577”

“Get me a visual!” Mr Heartland ordered over the conflicting shouts of the technicians and analysts.

“No available monitoring equipment, no automatons active in target area.”

“Feedback at 62% we’re losing the data feed.”

“Satellite 4 moving into position now, in three, two, one… We have visual.”

The main monitor screen opened a direct video feed from the satellite in high orbit. It was focused on an alleyway in downtown Heartland city and the duel that was happening. As the video came into focus Heartland recognised one of the duellist’s as the one Kite was so interest in. Drake Atlas.

But what really caught his eye was the green circle containing a six point star that they were duelling in. The readings from the satellites sensors were going off the charts. High energy, exotic particles, abnormal delta radiation. The works.

“Copy this data to Dr Faker, get me background on those duellists and deploy some people over there right now.”

Mr Heartland watched as Drake summoned his mighty Ultimate dragon, only for him to split the beast back into three. He then formed the Overlay Network to call forth a monster that had never been seen before. The readings on all the sensors suddenly started to spike even higher as Drakes beast flew into the sky, just seconds before the feed was blinded by a brilliant white light and then went dark.

“Signal with satellite has been lost, I repeat contact lost.”

Heartland felt a chill go down his spine, what on earth was going on here?!!

“… I XYZ summon, Rank 8 !!!”

From the depths of the black vortex a great dragon rose. Its scales were like crystals that had trapped within them the most pure and gentlest of starlight. With a flap of its four great wings it flew into the sky as its three overlay units circled around it like a halo. It was like a vison of holy purity and dragon might rolled into one. A monster of Drakes own design given form and power by the Mirror of Critias.

[Blue-Eyes Starlight Dragon – Rank 8 ATK:3000/DEF:2500 OU:3]

*ROAR!!*

It raised its head and roared! Blasting a beam of purest light from its mouth high into the heavens above. Its gleaming blue eyes, like polished sapphires, swept across the field.

Drakes field only had his new dragon while his opponent had flooded the field with cards empowered with the might of the . Two ‘s, a and a . Further empowering them were the continuous spell and the continuous trap .

[x2 Marauding Captain – ATK:3400, Comrade Swordsman of Landstar – ATK:2200, Marmiting Captain – ATK:2900]

“So what if you have yourself a new dragon, it’s no stronger than the ones you used to summon it and it still pales compared to the power of the Seal of Orichalcos. What’s more thanks to my two Marauding Captain your monsters can’t attack my monsters.”

Chapman raged as he tried to quell the fear that was rising in his heart. The power coming off Drakes dragons as it was staring you down would induce a feeling of terror even in a strong-willed man.

Both Yuma and Astral were watching speechlessly, they never knew Drake had such a powerful XYZ monster in his deck, they didn’t know he could XZY summon at all.

“You’re wrong, this duel is finished. You should never have used the Seal of Orichalcos in front of me, because now I will have no mercy on you.”

“I activate Blue-Eyes Starlight Dragons special ability! By using one Overlay Unit my monster can destroy any monster on the field. Go Blue-Eyes Starlight Dragon destroy his Marauding Captain, Star Fall attack!”

With a snap of its jaws his Starlight dragon consumed one of its Overlay units before flying higher into the air, crimson flames began to pour from its mouth as it bent its neck backwards before whipping it forward and blasting out a massive meteor of flames. Like a force of Nature, it smashed into Chapmans monster destroying it.

*BOOM!*

“Aaaarrghhh!”

[BESD – OU:3>2]

[Chapman LP > 3000]

“Oh I forgot to mention this, but if the overlay unit I sent to the Graveyard to activate this effect is a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, then when your monster is destroyed by this effect you suffer 1000 points of damage.”

“Naturally this power comes at a price, when Starlight dragon uses its effect it cannot attack on that turn.”

Chapman felt some relief at that, with the loss of his monster all his other monster would lose some attack points and it had broken his attack lock. But if Drakes dragon couldn’t attack anyway, then he would have a chance to turn thing back in his favour on the next turn.

“What are you smiling for? Did you think I could only use my dragon’s ability once per turn…?”

What?!

“Starlight Dragon, destroy the second Marauding Captain, Star Fall!”

*BOOM!*

[BESD – OU:2>1]

[Chapman LP > 2000]

Again, Chapman lost a monster in a fiery explosion as well as another 1000 life points.

“Third times the charm! Now destroy his Marmiting Captain with Star Fall!

*BOOM!!!*

[BESD – OU:1>0]

[Chapman LP > 1000]

“Urrrgh….”

[Comrade Swordsman of Landstar – ATK:2200 > 1600]

“Look at that Astral, now although his Starlight dragon can’t attack Drake has broken the attack lock and is the strongest monster on the field.”

“Indeed.”

“…This can’t be, the Seal of Orichalcos… is invincible, you can’t… defeat… me….”

Chapman wasn’t looking so good. The impact of three Star Falls had beaten him up pretty badly. But Drake had no mercy for those that knowingly use the power of the accursed Seal. For those that would willingly hunt the souls of others as a sacrifice.

“Finally I activate the spell
