"Well Burst. It's all up to you.", Inferno said. "You're the only one left in the tournament who can face Tirek." Burst nodded.
"I know. The Wicked God Cards make Sombra and Zorc look like wimps."
"You're not gonna be dueling alone!", Rainbow Dash said. "In fact, I think I've got a way to make it so we'll be with you!" Inferno pulled out her deck, and pulled out one of her cards. "Take my Rainbow Life card. It'll help keep your life points safe." As Burst took the card, color returned to it.
Night pulled out his own deck, and handed a card to Burst."Take my Dimensional Prison card."
Gold pulled out a card from his deck. "Take Honest. It'll be good since most of your monsters are light attribute."
Inferno pulled out a card next. "Take Solemn Strike. It might have a bit of a price, but it's worth it!"
Ace took a card out of his deck, and handed it to Burst. "Here's Quaking Mirror Force! Make sure to give Tirek one from me!", Ace said with a smile. Burst didn't know what to say.
"Guys....thanks. I won't let you down!" Burst put the new cards into his deck, and prepared to face what was possibly the strongest foe he'd ever face. As Burst approached the dueling ring, Tirek was waiting for him. Once Burst was in the ring, Kaiba announced the final duel.
"Eight finalists entered, now only two are left standing! Who will come out on top? Time to find out!"
"LET'S DUEL!"
Burst: 8000
Tirek: 8000
"I'm gonna put an end to your and the Wicked God Cards' rampage!", Burst said as he drew his hand. Tirek smirked.
"Then you're either very brave, or very foolish. I'll take the first move! I summon a monster in defense mode and end my turn."
"I draw! I'll reveal Blue-Eyes White Dragon in my hand to special summon Blue-Eyes Alternative!" Burst then noticed the cards Rainbow Dash and Night had given him! "Then I'll set two cards and have Alternative attack your monster! White Lightning!" Giant Germ exploded when the lightning struck, but Burst was hit by a piece of debris!
"Since Giant Germ was destroyed by battle, you take 500 points of damage! Now I can special summon the other two copies of Giant Germ from my deck in attack mode!"
"I end my turn."
Burst: 7500
Tirek: 8000
"I draw! I play Double Summon! I'll bring out Hardened Armed Dragon to my field! Now I'll tribute my three monsters to summon The Wicked Eraser!" Dark clouds soon covered the sky, and Eraser formed out of black smoke. "And thanks to Hardened Armed Dragon being used as a tribute, he can't be destroyed by card effects! Now that he's on the field, Eraser gains 1000 attack for each card you control! Our monsters will destroy each other, but then I can wipe-out your entire field once Eraser's destroyed! Attack Blue-Eyes Alternative! Eraser Stream of Oblivion!" As Eraser fired a blast of pure darkness right at Blue-Eyes Alternative!
"I activate my trap! Dimensional Prison! When an opponent's monster attacks, I can target and banish the attacking monster!" A dimensional tear appeared on the field, and Eraser was sucked in!
"NO!", Tirek growled.
"That's the way Burst!", Night cheered from the observation room.
"Looks like your god cards aren't as all powerful as you thought they'd be.", Burst said with a confident smile.
"No matter! Eraser was the weakest of the Wicked God Cards! His strength depended on my opponent's field. I end my turn."
"Then it's my move!" Burst drew his next card. "I play Trade-In to discard a level eight monster from my hand! Then I can draw two new cards!" Burst noticed the card Gold had given him! "I'll attack you directly with Blue-Eyes Alternative!" Tirek scowled as the attack hit him full force! "I end my turn."
Burst: 7500
Tirek: 5000
"You may have destroyed Eraser easily, but you still have two Wicked God Cards to contend with!" Tirek drew his next card. "I play Swords of Revealing Light! This should keep you from my life points for three of your turns. Now I'll summon Double Coston and set a card! Then I'll play Veil of Darkness! I end my turn."
"I draw! I'll target Alternative with Sage with Eyes of Blue and send both to the graveyard to special summon Dragon Spirit of White from my deck! Now that he's been brought to the field, I can target and banish one spell or trap card you control! And right now, I'll banish your face-down!" Tirek's face-down was gone in a flash of light! "I end my turn."
"I draw! Since I drew a dark monster, I can banish it to draw another card! Now I'll summon Phantom Skyblaster! Now that he's on the field, I can special summon a number of Skyblaster Tokens equal to the number of monsters I control! That means I can bring out two tokens! I end my turn."
"I draw! I'll end my turn"
"My turn.", Tirek said with a dark smile. "Swords of Revealing Light goes to the graveyard now, but I won't be needing it anymore! I tribute all of my tokens and Phantom Skyblaster to bring about The Wicked Dreadroot!" Dreadroot stepped out of a pillar of darkness.
"Ah. Another legendary dragon to crush." Dreadroot cracked his knuckles. "Prepare to know true terror."
"Make him cower Dreadroot! Dread Fist!" Dreadroot brought his fist down on Dragon Spirit of White!
"I activate my trap! Rainbow Life! I can discard a card, and until the end of this turn I gain life points instead of taking damage!" Dragon Spirit was destroyed, but a rainbow of light shined over Burst! Raising his life points!
"Aw yeah! That's my card out there!", Rainbow Dash cheered.
"I guess that pathetic move saved you. I end my turn."
Burst: 11500
Tirek: 5000
"And since you ended your turn, White Stone of Ancient's effect activates! I can special summon a 'Blue-Eyes' monster from my deck! I'll bring out Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Now I'll start my turn! I draw! I play Dragon's Mirror! I'll banish Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my field, and the other Blue-Eyes in my graveyard with Blue-Eyes Alternative! I fusion summon Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" Blue-Eyes Ultimate descended with a mighty roar, but staggered due to Dreadroot's aura of fear! "Now I'll attack The Wicked Dreadroot!"
"Hah! You're a fool! Dreadroot halved your monster's attack and defense!"
"True. But I'm going to use Dreadroot's own strength against it! I discard Honest from my hand to have a light monster who's battling gain attack points equal to the attack target! That means Neo Ultimate gains 4000 attack points!"
"Fool! Dreadroot's effect applies even during any power boost! You were so close, but now Dreadroot will annihilate your monster!" Neo Ultimate was taken down in one deadly blow! Burst winced as Neo Ultimate was destroyed!
"I guess I'll end my turn."
"Darn! I thought for sure Honest would've evened the odds.", Gold said with a small frown.
"At least Burst still has most of his life points.", Sunset noted.
"I don't think that's gonna matter as long as Dreadroot's on the field!", Inferno said with a concerned look on his face.
"That monster is as powerful as he looks terrifying.", Rarity added.
Burst: 10625
Tirek: 5000
Tirek drew his next card. "Attack him directly Dreadroot!" Dreadroot brough his fist down on Burst's life points!
"AGGHH!" Burst wailed in pain!
"I believe that's enough punishment for this turn.", Tirek said with an evil smile. "Such is the fate of all fools who oppose the Wicked God Cards. I end my turn."
Burst: 6625
Tirek: 5000
Burst drew his next card, and was surprised to see the card Ace gave him! "I set a card and end my turn!"
"Hmph. How foolish! Attack him again Dreadroot!" Burst then sprung into action!
"I activate my trap! Quaking Mirror Force! Since you declared an attack, all attack mode monsters you control are switched into face-down defense mode! Too bad Dreadroot can only use his effect while he's face-up! Also, your monsters' battle positions can't be changed!" Tirek scowled at how the tables had turned!
"I end my turn."
"I knew that would help Burst!", Ace cheered!
"Now Burst's monsters are back to full strength!", Sonata added.
"True. But now Burst's field is empty.", Twilight noted.
"I draw! Nice! I'll play The Melody of Awakening Dragon to add two dragon-type monsters with 3000 or more attack and 2500 or less defense to my hand! Now I'll reveal the Blue-Eyes I just drew to special summon Blue-Eyes Alternative! Now I'll use his effect to destroy your Wicked Dreadroot! The only downside is that he can't attack. So I guess I'll end my turn."
"I draw!" Tirek had an evil smile as he looked at his next card. "I play Fires of Doomsday! This lets me special summon two Doomsday Tokens! I end my turn by summoning another Double Coston!"
"My move!" Burst's next card was the one Inferno had given him! "I'll play Trade-In to discard Blue-Eyes and draw two new cards! Then I'll play Return of the Dragon Lord to revive Blue-Eyes from my graveyard! I'll use Alternative's effect to destroy one of your tokens, and I'll have Blue-Eyes destroy one of your Double Costons!" One of Tirek's tokens was struck down by a bolt of lightning, while one of his Double Costons was destroyed by a blast of lightning! "I end my turn."
Burst: 6625
Tirek: 3300
"I draw!" Tirek looked over his hand. "You should have destroyed both of my Double Costons. Now I play Single Purchse! Since I have no monsters, and I have more than three cards in my hand, I can banish my enitire hand face-up to add a monster to my hand! The only downside is that I can't normal or special summon any monsters except monsters with the name of the monster I added! I tribute all three of my monsters to bring out The Wicked Avatar!" A swirl of darkness condensed into a black sphere. "And since he was summoned, you can't activate spell or trap cards until the end of your turn after Avatar was summoned! Now for Avatar's other effect!" Avatar exploded, and reformed into a pitch black version of Blue-Eyes with 100 extra attack points! "Destroy Alternative!" Avatar charged up a blast of black lightning, at Blue-Eyes Alternative!
"I banish Return of the Dragon Lords to keep Alternative on the field!" Burst winced as he took damage, but Alternative was still on the field!
"It might not have done much damage, but at least that problem is eliminated. I end my turn."
Burst: 6525
Tirek: 3300
"I draw!" Burst then saw the card Inferno gave him! "I contact fuse my two dragons to summon Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon! Now I'll attack your monster!" Twin Burst fired twin blasts of white lightning at Avatar, but it was still standing! Burst took 100 damage! "Now I can activate Twin Burst's effect! At the end of the damage step, if Twin Burst attacks a monster and that monster isn't destroyed by battle, I can banish that monster!"
"WHAT?!" Avatar was taken off the field by a ray of light!
"I'll set a card and end my turn. Looks like you've only got one Wicked God Card left. And it's in the graveyard!"
Burst: 6425
Tirek: 3300
"We'll see about that!" Tirek drew his next card. "I summon Herald of Creation! Now that she's on the field, I can discard a card to add a level seven or higher monster from my graveyard to my hand! And I know just the one to add! Then I'll play Nightmare's Steel Cage! For two of your turns, no monsters can attack!" A cage dropped over Burst! "I end my turn with a face-down."
"I draw! I play Silver's Cry to revive Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my graveyard! Then I'll end my turn."
"Hmph. So be it." Tirek drew his next card. "I special summon Gilasaurus! Now that he's on the field, you can special summon a monster from your graveyard!"
"I guess I'll bring back Dragon Spirit of White! Then I can banish a spell or trap card you control! I'll get rid of your face-down!" Tirek scowled as Mirror Force was destroyed! "I end my turn." Nightmare's Steel Cage then disappeared!
"I draw! Perfect! I banish a spell card from my graveyard to special summon Spell Striker! Now I tribute all of my monsters to bring out an old fried!" Dreadroot once again rose up from a pillar of darkness! However, this was what Burst was waiting for! "And now that he's on the field, all monsters you control have their attack and defense halved!"
"I activate my trap! Solemn Strike! Since Dreadroot's effect was set off, I can pay 1500 life points to negate his effect and destroy him!" Dreadroot was destroyed by a series of lightning bolts!
"NO!", Tirek hissed as Dreadroot was destroyed! "I end my turn! We'll see how you fare once I revive Dreadroot once again!"
Burst: 4925
Tirek: 3300
"No you won't. Haven't you been paying attention to your life points?", Burst said as he drew his next card. Tirek growled at Burst before he stared at his life points in horror! "Time to end this! Blue-Eyes Twin Burst! Attack him directly!" Tirek winced as his life points dropped down to 300!
"This...can't.....be!"
"Oh, it's happening! End this Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Rock the dragon!" Blue-Eyes charged up his attack, and sent it flying into the last of Tirek's life points!
"NNOOOOOOOOOOO!", Tirek screamed as he was enveloped by the white lightning! When the light died down, Burst stood victorious! However, it wasn't over yet. Tirek was clutching his head, and there was something different about him. "Nnngh! Where...where am I?"
"So you've finally been freed from our infulence.", Eraser hissed.
"We were so close to draining the cards of the strongest duelists here!", Dreadroot boomed!
"If we cannot take the energy of cards...", Avatar began. "Then we shall take yours!" The Wicked God Cards trapped Tirek in a sphere of darkness, and slowly drained his energy! Tirek was panicking! Not only were the Wicked God Cards draining his energy, but they also made him the age he was in his mind. Tirek was reduced to a little kid.
'Someone....anyone.....HELP!', Tirek's mind screamed! Suddenly, Burst broke through the sphere of darkness! His dragon powers fully activated!
"TIREK! Take my hand!" Tirek clammored over to Burst's hand, and Burst flew out as the sphere began to close again!
"I...I'm sorry!", Tirek wept. "I just wanted everyone to respect me like my brother!" Burst put a hand on his shoulder.
"It's alright Tirek. It's over.", Burst said with a smile.
"It is not over!", Eraser hissed!
"His energy shall be drained!", Dreadroot boomed!
"And you will not stop us!", Avatar screamed!
"Wrong!" Burst summoned Blue-Eyes. "Ready to end this buddy?"
"You know it! Let's rock the dragon!" Burst nodded.
"I play Harmony Absolute!" A rainbow of light shined down on Blue-Eyes! Transforming him! "Come on out Blue-Eyes Absolute Dragon!" Blue-Eyes Absolute stood when the ray of rainbow light died down! His presence causing the Wicked Gods to cower before him!
"Your evil ends now! ABSOLUTE NEUTRON BLAST!", Blue-Eyes cried out as he fired a rainbow-colored neutron blast from his hands! Destroying the Wicked Gods and their cards! When it was all over, the energy stolen by the Wicked God Cards was released by their destruction!
"Rainbow Dragon!", Rainbow Dash cheered as she summoned Rainbow Dragon! She was so happy she ran up to him and hugged him.
"I missed you too Dash.", Rainbow Dragon said with a smile. Inferno then summoned Red-Eyes.
"Good to have you back Red-Eyes! How're you feeling?", Inferno asked.
"Hungry. Having your energy stolen gives you a major case of the munchies!", Red-Eyes answered. Inferno chuckled.
"I'll be sure to order a pizza once we're back home!" Scorpan ran over to Tirek.
"Brother!" Tirek ran up to Scorpan and hugged his brother tightly.
"I guess I'm your little brother now right?", Tirek asked with a small smile. Burst and Blue-Eyes Absolute smiled at the scene unfolding before them, and nodded.
"Another happy ending.", the two of them said as they fist-bumped.
