//------------------------------// // Final Boss! Five-Headed Dragon! // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! EQG Side Story: Cyber Duel Saga // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// Burst and his friends had just arrived at Steel's location. And since they heard Lecter being deleted, it was safe to assume that Steel had won. "Way to go Steel! Looks like there's only one order of business left!", Burst congratulated him. "Yeah. The final boss.", Steel said flatly. "I don't know if anyone else has noticed the big, glaring obvious question.", Twilight mentioned. "And that is?", Burst asked. "How are we supposed to fight the final boss if we don't know where it is?" "Easy. We warp back to the machine city and ask Noa. He's been living here ever since it was being developed, so he should know all there is too know! Come on Twilight! Did you think I'd go through this whole situation and not think to ask where the final boss was?" "Sorry. I need to take a gaming logic course." "Logic? Where's the fun in that? I'm acting on gaming instinct. Oh! There's the warp pad!" Everyone boarded the warp pad and were sent back to Machine City where Noa was waiting for them. "You know Noa, for bosses the Big 5 were push-overs. We beat them pretty easily." "Almost too easily.", Sunset said. "Why can't I shake the feeling that something pretty bad's going to happen when we go against the final boss?" Noa was about to try and lift her spirits when the monitor started blaring an alert! "It looks like the final level has revealed itself! The Castle of Dark Illusion! That's where the final boss is holed up! This is it! Are you all ready?" Bust nodded in response. "Alright everyone! Let's show this final level who's boss!" And with that, they all warped to the final level! Once they were at the castle gate, it mysteriously opened. They made their way to the throne room, but found no one there! Suddenly, a seal appeared on the floor and everyone except Burst, Twilight, and Ace were writhing in pain! "Guys! What's happening?!" Soon, evil laughter was heard coming from the air around them! "At last! Our final trap has been sprung!", the Big 5 cackled in unison. Burst was furious! "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FRIENDS?!" "Once each of us was defeated, we cast an elemental brand on them! Originally, we planned to activate this ritual by waiting for you to come here! But this plan is much more favorable! Now! We offer these tributes so you may rise again! Five-Headed Dragon!" Burst's friends were gone in a flash of light, and in their place stood a fearsome dragon with five heads! Each one representing a different element! Burst's eyes turned dragonic and his wings materialized! A blue aura of energy was radiating off him! "I won't let you get away with this! Let's duel!" "You'r not going at it alone!" Ace said as he activated his duel disk! "I'm in this with you two! They'll pay for using our friends like this!", Twilight said. "Very well fools! But this room is branded with the dragon seal! Only Dragons can do battle here! And Five-Headed Dragon can't be destroyed by battle with a fire, water, earth, wind, or dark monster! It can only be defeated....by a creature of light!" "Sorry Ace! You'll have to sit this one out! But I'll make sure to make them pay!", Burst said as and Twilight readied their duel disks! Burst: 8000 Twilight: 8000 The Big 5: 8000 "We shall start the duel!", the Big 5 boomed. "We equip Five-Headed Dragon with Dragon Shield! Now he can't be destroyed by battle or card effects! And we don't take any damage from attacks involving him! And we've rewritten the program so that you do! Next we play Shooting Star Bow ! Our dragon loses 1000 attack points, but he can attack you directly! Five Breath Fury!" "Agghhh!", Twilight screamed as she took the force of the attack! "Now it's my turn! I special summon Magician's Dragon! I can bring him out at no cost when I take battle damage! Now I equip him with Megamorph! This doubles his attack strength! Next I play Mystical Space Typhoon! This destroys your Dragon Shield! Attack Five Headed Dragon with Spell Breath!" Burst: 8000 Twilight: 4000 The Big 5: 7000 "Sine it's our turn now, we attack Burst Stream directly!" Five-Headed Dragon ro"ared as he hit Burst with the force of his breath! "What's the matter Burst? Going to cry?" But to the surprise of the Big 5, Burst was laughing! "Finally! You guys are actually giving us a good duel! But I'm afraid we're going to have to end this! I got stuck with a really good hand! And now I'm going to put it to good use! I play Dragon Shrine and send one dragon from my deck to the graveyard! And since it was a normal dragon, I get to send another one! Next I play Trade-In! I discard one level eight monster and draw two cards! Then I'll discard one card to activate Twin Twisters to destroy your Dragon Seal and Shooting Star Bow! Now I play the spell card Harmony Absolute and send Blue Eyes White Dragon from my hand to the graveyard to special summon Blue Eyes Absolute Dragon! Destroy Five-Headed Dragon!" "Absolute Neutron Blast!", Blue Eyes Absolute roared as he powered up his attack! "This is for my friends!" Blue Eyes fired a rainbow-colored neutron blast that collided with Five-Headed Dragon! "Gaahhh!", the Big 5 wailed as Five-Headed Dragon was destroyed! Burst Stream: 4000 Twilight: 4000 The Big 5: 5500 "We'll play a monster in defense mode! Even if you destroy it, you won't deal us any damage!" "I don't think so! I equip Magician's Dragon with Fairy Meteor Crush! Now when he destroys your monster, he inflicts piercing damage!" "No!" But it was too late! And in a blast of flame, the Big 5's monster was gone! Burst: 4000 Twilight: 4000 The Big 5: 2600 "We'll set a card and end our turn. Come and attack. If you've got the guts Burst!", the Big 5 taunted. "You old farts bet I do! Blue Eyes! Attack them directly! Absolute Neutron Blast!" "You fell for our trap! Mirror Force! Say goodbye to your dragon!" Burst smiled. "Oh really?" Blue Eyes Absolute smashed right through the Mirror Force! "And that's why he's called absolute! Game over!" "NOOOOOOO!", the Big 5 screamed as they were permanently deleted! But Burst felt no joy from his victory. "Inferno...Sunset....Sonata....Steel... I won the duel....but there's no way I can bring you back!", Burst cried in sorrow as tears began to flow down his face. Twilight walked up to console him. "Burst....it's okay. None of us saw this coming. It's not your fault." "I know Twilight. But that doesn't change the fact that they're gone." "No they're not!", Ace said as he noticed four beacons of light coming from where the dragon had once stood. "Guys!", Burst cried as he rushed to meet them! "Thanks for bringing us back Burst!", Sunset said. "If there's anyone who could do it, I knew it'd be you!", Inferno said with a smile "Come on everyone. Let's go home!", Burst said with a smile. Once they went back to the real world, they all awoke from their game pods. "Mr. Kaiba. After careful consideration, I think it's best if you hold off on the virtual reality gaming." "After this incident, I'd agree with you. We'll port it to consoles no problem. By the way, what was up with the dragon wings?" "Just a little gift from my bond with Blue Eyes." "I'm pretty jealous. My Blue Eyes never gets me anything. He just snorts at me." "You mean 'she' Kaiba." "Excuse me?!" "Yeah. All of your Blue Eyes White Dragons are girls.", Burst said with a smile. "I.....I need to process this.", Kaiba said weakly. And soon, Burst and his friends headed back to CHS to say goodbye to Princess Twilight.
