Fluttershy couldn't sleep that night. Each time she tried to go to sleep, she kept having terrible dreams about Tyrannus. Most of them involved him being hunted. Or worse, Evo brutally dueling against him. He was alone. All alone. Fluttershy woke up in a cold sweat. Morning had finally come, and she instantly got dressed and packed some food into her backpack. Fluttershy gathered herself as she made her way to the forest. It came as no surprise that some animals came up to her. Fluttershy smiled as she used the powers of her new magic to ask if they'd seen Tyrannus. Fortuantely, some birds had seen him. Fluttershy followed them and sur enough found herself in the area Tyrannus was last seen. At the same time, Tyrannus had heard footsteps as he stirred from his slumber. He frowned as he saw himself still in the altered form Evo had forced him into, and sighed. He decided to hid himself in the trees and observe whoever had just entered his sleep area. Tyrannus's eyes widened as he saw who was here. It was Fluttershy. She had come looking for him! And from the look of things, she was looking everywhere. Tyrannus was so nervous that he slipped a little in the tree he was hiding in! Fluttershy snapped her head in the direction of the sound! "Ty?", she called out. "If you're here, please come out. There's no one here but me. You don't have to hide. I'm here. You don't have to be alone or afraid."
"...I'm not afraid.", Tyrannus answered.
"Then why don't you come out?", Fluttershy asked.
"...Then you will be afraid.", Tyrannus said as he slowly crawled down from the tree.
"Ty. Please. I won't run.", Fluttershy pleaded. Tyrannus sighed as he finally climbed down fromt he tree he was hiding himself in and stood before Fluttershy. Fluttershy covered her mouth. "Oh my..."
Tyrannus winced. "That bad huh?" Tyrannus sighed. "Fluttershy. Why are you here? You shouldn't have looked for me."
"Because...because I love you Ty!", Fluttershy cried out! "You make me feel safe! When I'm around you, I can feel brave!"
"Safe? How can you feel 'safe' with me how I am now?!", Tyrannus yelled! "I...I hurt you! Lashed out at you with no reason!"
"Ty...that wasn't your fault.", Fluttershy said sadly.
"Yes it was! I might not have done this to myself, but I still hurt you!" Tyrannus pointed to the scratch mark he had made. "I'm still the one who made that mark. How can someone so beautiful...so kind...ever love a monster like me?"
"That's enough!" Fluttershy cupped Tyrannus's face. "You're not a monster! You never could be! Ty...you're still the same." Tyrannus turned his face away. "Ty, please. Look at me." Tyrannus returned his gaze directly into Fluttershy's eyes. "Just because you look different, that doesn't mean that you're a different person."
"But...but I hurt you!" Tyrannus broke into tears! "Each time I look at that mark, I still see that scared look in your eyes! I..I don't want to ever put you through that again!"
Fluttershy smiled lovingly. "Poor thing. Everyone makes mistakes. And I forgive you for yours."
Tyrannus fell to his knees weeping. "Thank you..."
Fluttershy smiled as she rested Tyrannus's head against her chest. "There, there. Everyone deserves a little kindness." A flash of magic went off, and Fluttershy saw that she had a ponied up! But in addition to her wings, she also had a horn now! "Oh my.."
Tyrannus smiled. "Looks like my butterfly's spread her wings."
"Well, well. Isn't this a touching moment between beauty and beast?", Evo said with a sneer as he landed. "I gave you a chance to stand with me. To be among the strong. And this is how you repay me?! By siding with these weaklings destined for extincition?! You and I have the DNA of dinosaurs within us! They ruled this planet far longer than these miserable humans! We're superior to them!"
Tyrannus glared at Evo. "I've heard enough out of you Evo. You're the one who's destined for extinction. Fury and brute force lost out to love and reson long ago. And if you can't see that, then you haven't evolved."
"So be it!", Evo said with a scowl! "Blitz has promised me the return of the old world once I defeat you!" Evo then pulled a duel disk from one of his coat's pockets!
"Um, Ty?", Fluttershy asked as she pulled a duel disk out of her backpack. "Kick his butt!"
Tyrannus nodded as he strapped on the duel disk and got out his deck!
"LET'S DUEL!"
Evo: 8000
Tyrannus: 8000
"I'll spare you no courtesy!", Evo hissed as he began his turn! "I play Evo-Diversity! This lets me add an 'Evoltile' or 'Evolsaur' monster from my deck to my hand! Then I'll summon the monster I add in defense mode! Then I'll set a card and end my turn!"
Tyrannus was confused. For a guy praising fury and brute strength, he's playing defensively. Chances are that face-down's pretty nasty.
But maybe I can get him to use it up early! "My turn! I draw! I play Terraforming! This lets me add a field spell from my deck to my hand! Now I'll activate it! The field spell Lost World! All monsters on the field lose 500 attack and defense points except for dinosaur-type monsters! Now I summon Sabersaurus! This activates Lost World's effect! Since I summoned a dinosaur-type monster, I can special summon a Jurraegg Token on your side of the field! Now you can't target monsters on the field with card effects except tokens!" Evo scowled in response. "Now I'll attack your monster! Saber Horn Charge!" Sabersaurus charged forward at Evo's monster! However, neither monster was destroyed! "Looks like your monster's got some pretty good defense. I end my turn."
Evo smirked as he gazed at his cards. Time for my monsters to evolve! I'll make sure Tyrannus is extinct! after this duel! "I draw! I flip summon Evoltile Westlo! Now I can special summon one 'Evolsaur' monster from my deck! I special summon Evolsaur Diplo! Now I play Evo-Force! This lets me tribute one Evoltile monster to special summon an Evolsaur monster from my deck! I tribute Evoltile Westlo to special summon Evolsaur Cerato! Now I overlay my two Evolsaurs!" A swirling galaxy appeared on the ground, and Evo's monsters turned into twim beams of red light that flew into the galaxy! A pale white dragon with a flame aura flew out of the galaxy as it faded! "I xyz summon Evolzar Laggia! Then I'll equip him with Xyz Unit! This boosts his attack by 200 points per rank! He's rank four, so he gains 800 attack! Destroy Sabersaurus!"
"Prepare to be sentenced to extinction primitive!", Laggia hissed as he fired a gigantic fireball at Sabersaurus!
"I don't think so! I activate Lost World's other effect! When a normal monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, I can send the same number of dinosaurs from my hand or deck to the graveyard instead! I'll send a dinosaur from my deck!" A phantom image of the dinosaur Tyrannus sent blocked Laggia'a attack! "My dinosaurs work as a herd! That means they protect each other!"
Evo scowled. "I end my turn." Hmph. A tactic favored by weaklings.
"It's my move now! I draw!" Tyrannus narrowed his eyes. Hm. His monster's in the lead in terms of attack points. Not to mention it hasn't even used its effect yet! "I summon a monster in defense mode!"
Evo sneered! "I activate Laggia's effect! I detach two overlay units from Laggia to negate the summon and destroy the card!" Tyrannus winced as his monster was destroyed! "Now I'll attack your monster with Laggia! Evo Flare!" Tyrannus didn't take much damage, but now his field was empty! "I end my turn!"
Evo: 8000
Tyrannus: 7200
Well now my field's empty. Not good. But on the plus side, Laggia can't use his effect now! Tyrannus smiled as he drew his next card! "Now that I've got two dinosaurs in my graveyard, I banish them!" The sound of mighty footsteps sounded as Tyrannus banished two of the dinosaurs in the graveyard! "Come on out! Ultimate Conductor Tyranno!" Ultimate Conductor Tyranno let out a mighty roar as he took the field!
"You've been threatening my herd.", UC Tyranno growled. "And any who threaten my family deal with me!"
Laggia sneered. "So the king returns to this lost world. Very well then! Bare your fangs one last time you walking fossil!"
"Tyranno's roar is gonna be more than enough!", Tyrannus shot back! "I tribute a monster from my hand! This switches all of your monsters into defense mode! Also, since I summoned Tyranno, that puts another Jurraegg token on your field!" Evo's eyes widened as Laggia was forced into defense mode as Ultimate Conductor Tyranno let out a mighty roar as thunder struck! "And we're not done yet! Now Tyranno can attack all of your monsters once each!" Ultimate Conductor Tyranno charged at Evo's monster and the tokens! "And that's not all! At the start of the damage step, he deals 1000 points of damage points to you since he's attacking defense mode monsters! Last I checked, there were three monsters on your field! That means 3000 points of damage are dealt to you! Go! Tyranno Thunder!" Ultimate Conductor Tyranno fired three thunderbolts that fried all of Evo's monsters! Evo cringed as the shockwave knocked him to the ground! "I end my turn. Looks like the fury you pride yourself on blinded you."
Evo: 5000
Tyranno: 7200
Evo snarled at Tyrannus! "SILENCE!" Evo spat! "I draw!" Evo grinned with savage delight! "Oh this is just too good! I play the spell Dark Hole! This destroys all monsters on the field!" Tyrannus cringed as Ultimate Conductor Tyranno was sucked into a black hole! "Now I play Soul Charge! This lets me pay 1000 life points per monster I want to revive! But the price is worth it! I revive Evolzar Laggia, and Evolsaurs Diplo and Cerato! They may be weakened by your field, but not if I destroy it with Mystical Space Typhoon! Now attack him directly! Rip his life points to shreds!" A savage grin dawned on Evo's face as his monsters slashed away at Tyrannus's life points! "Forutnately, that new form I gave you had a thick hide. Though I wonder how long you can last? I end my turn with a face-down."
"TY!", Fluttershy screamed as Tyrannus fell to one knee! "Please! Please hold on!"
Evo: 2000
Tyranno: 1300
"Nngggghh!", Tyrannus groaned as he got to his feet. "Don't count me out....just yet!" Tyrannus shot Evo a gaze filled with determination! "As long as I've got even a single point...I WON'T BACK DOWN!" In response to Tyrannus's spirit, a rainbow-colored flash went off on the top of his deck! "What?" Tyrannus drew the glowing card! "Time for my monsters to evolve too! I play the spell card Absolute Evolution! I can banish a level 7 or higher dinosaur-type monster from my hand or graveyard!" Thunder began to crash around the field! " Stand proud! Absolute Tyranno!" A humanoid tyrannosaurus with a crown-like crest on his forehead let out a mighty roar as he took the field! He was boasting 4000 attack points! "Time for a little overkill! I activate Absolute Tyranno's effect! By banishing a dinosaur-type monster from my graveyard, I can force all of your monsters into defense mode! Tyranno's Majesty!" Evo scowled as his monsters were forced into defense mode! "Now you take 500 damage for each monster switched into defense mode! Tyranno Thunder Break!" Evo cringed as three bolts of thunder struck his life points! "But I'm not done yet! Since all of your monsters are in defense mode, I can attack you directly! Tyranno Impact!" Absolute Tyranno leaped into the air, and brought his fist down full force! Wiping out the last of Evo's life points and leaving him in a crater! "I'm not done-!"
"Ty!" Fluttershy latched onto Tyrannus's arm! "Please! Please stop! The duel's over! You won." Fluttershy's eyes began to tear up. "This isn't you. You're not like him." Tyrannus took a deep breath.
"Sorry if that scared you." Tyrannus carried Fluttershy bridal style. "Come on. Let's head to school."
Fluttershy smiled and shared a kiss with Tyrannus. Suddenly, Tyrannus's skin began to crack! Tyrannus was returned to his regular self. "That's the Ty I know and love." Fluttershy said happily as she nuzzled Tyrannus's bare chest. However, it wasn't over. Evo crawled out of the crater Absolute Tyranno had punched him into!
"I...I....!!!", Evo snarled. Evo pulled out a test tube filled with the same serum he had injected Tyrannus with! "...NOT LOSE TO AN INFERIOR LIFEFORM!" Evo popped the cap off of the test tube and swallowed the contents! "HURGH!" Evo fell to the ground on his knees as pteranadon wings sprouted form his back! Evo's claws began to grow longer and sharper! His face extended like that of a reptile, and his eyes had turned purely reptilian! He burst out of his shirt and grew a tail! Most of his clothes were now in tatters save for his ripped jeans! Evo let out a feral roar as he charged forth! "GRRROOOOOOAAARRR!" Evo roared as he flew at Tyrannus! Knocking him to the ground and snatching Fluttershy! "You seem to care a great deal for my brother!", Evo said as he licked his chops. "I wonder? How do you taste?" Tyrannus slowly rose as he saw Evo terrorizing Fluttershy! Then he heard a voice!
"Ty!", Ultimate Conductor Tyranno said! "There's a way to save her! But I must ask if you're ready!"
"You know it! For Fluttershy, I'd give my life!"
Ultimate Conductor nodded. "Then let out resolve fuse us!" Ultimate Conductor Tyranno became a beam of light and entered Tyrannus's body! When the light died down, a new figure stood! Evo was continuing to terrorize Fluttershy until a voice shouted out!
"YOU WON'T LAY A FINGER ON HER!", Tyrannus screamed as he punched Evo in the face and sent him flying! Fluttershy opened her eyes to find Tyrannus clad in armor modelled after Ultimate Tyranno! The helmet was complete with a visor and a crest just like Ultimate Tyranno! "Fluttershy! Are you okay?" Fluttershy nodded. Tyrannus cracked his knuckles. "Good. Stay back. Evo's extinction is long overdue!" Evo had just recovered and growled at Tyrannus.
"HOW?! HOW CAN AN INFERIOR LIFEFORM LIKE YOU HARM ME?!", Evo howled in rage!
Tyrannus smirked under his helmet. "Easy. The rage you praise has no place in my heart. And with no fury blinding me, I can see clearly. Why I fight and who I fight for are laid bare. Now, nothing's going to stop me from preventing you from hurting anyone else!" Tyrannus focused and summoned his Duelist Arm! But before he could unleash it, Evo charged at him! The two grappled! Neither one was giving in to the other! But Tyrannus surprised Evo when he threw Evo across the forest! Evo recovered with his wings and began dive-bombing Tyrannus from the sky! However, Tyrannus's suit was well equipped as pteradactyl wings sprouted from his armor and took to the air! Renewing their titanic clash! "You're not the only one who's evolved!" Tyrannus slugged Evo in the face once again! Sending Evo plumetting to the ground! Tyrannus continued his attack by diving down with a kick to Evo's stomach! Winding Evo while a crater formed from the impact! "Wonder what else I can do?"
"Ty.", Ultimate Conductor Tyranno alerted. "Your armor also had velociraptor speed. I say we run Evo ragged!"
"Good call Tyranno!" Tyrannus got into a sprinting stance as Evo crawled out of the crater, then he zipped righ up to him and slugged him once again! He than kept speeding around Evo! Continuously landing punches and kicks faster than the mutant could keep up with! When Tyrannus was finished, Evo was battered and rage was still seething in his eyes!
"This....isn't...possible!", Evo howled as he struggled to get to his feet! "I...I...I HAVE EVOLVED!"
"No. You haven't.", Tyrannus said flatly as he readied his Duelist Arm. "TYRANNO MAGNUM!" Tyrannus unleashed a powerful blast of energy that knocked Evo out cold! Tyrannus picked him up and walked over to Fluttershy. "He'll be out for a long while. I made sure to wear him out that much."
"What're you going to do now?", Fluttershy asked.
"I'm taking him home. Hopefully, my parents can fix him. Maybe remove his dinosaur DNA. It'd be the best thing for him considering his current state. Come on. Let's get him home." Tyrannus removed his helmet and he and Fluttershy returned to Tyrannus's house. "Mom? Dad? See if you can do about his dinosaur DNA. If there's no other options, remove it."
His dad breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm just happy we have our whole family back."
Tyrannus smiled as he de-fused with Ultimate Conductor Tyranno, and the dinosaur returned to the monster world. "Well Fluttershy? Mind giving me a lift?" Fluttershy smiled as she led Tyrannus outside and flew them both to school! "Sorry for making you carry me."
"Aw, you poor thing! I don't mind! You'vebeen through a lot. It's the least I can do. But there is one extra thing." Fluttershy landed and kissed Tyrannus. "Hope you have a good day! I've got to tell the girls about this!" As Fluttershy left, Tyrannus smiled.
Her kindness knows no bounds., Tyrannus thought with a loving smile. The kind of girl I need in my life. Tyrannus walked off in search of Burst. Not only to notify them that one of Blitz's Dark Duelists was defeated, but about the new card that had materialized.
