Yugioh Spiez: Opperation Duel: Final Season

by DakariKingMykan

(Part 1) Crooked Cards

The lights had covered the sky again, and at the same time the Earth trembling. Air currents were blowing suddenly in hard puffs, the ocean was getting rougher than ever. Typhoons, hurricanes; what a mess, and in less than ninety minutes, it would all be gone.

The little rock island where the wormhole was at was about the only single safest place to be on the planet.

Suddenly, Celestia and I came crashing through the portal, and landing safely on the ground without much trouble.

Princess Luna was still there, and surprised to see us.

“Sister, are you alright?”

“I am…” said Celestia, and she eyed at me as I stood “I will stay and handle this. You may go.”

“I wish to go along too.” Wilhelm said. He now had the astral mark on his head, despite winning his duel. Luna had previously brainwashed him for the kick of it.

She let him ride on her back, and they began to take off, just as Sabrina came through the portal.

“Sabrina.” I said.

My wife saw Princess Luna sly away with her father riding her, and she saw the astral mark on his forehead “Daddy!” she cried.

Celestia snickered in her mixed voiced “It would appear that your father has begun to see the light. Soon you all will be heading for it along with the destruction of your entire planet.”

Sabrina was ever so infuriated. “Princess Celestia… you overgrown pile of hay manure!” she lunged at her to brawl, but I stopped her. “Let me go, Mykan.”

“Sabrina, no you don’t understand…” I said to her “That’s not really Princess Celestia. Her body’s been taken over by some power hungry alien. It’s what’s been behind this whole thing, and it’s trying to destroy our world and conquer others.”

I told her everything I was told, including how she was using the Card Game to amplify her power and get stronger.

Now Sabrina was really outraged.

“Unfortunately, there is little either of you can do about it.” said Celestia “Equestria is mine. The ponies are mine. Your world and all the people in it are mine… to obliterate.”

I clenched my fists in anger “All right… That is far enough, Celestia.” I said “I now challenge you to a duel, and we’ll make it very simple. If I lose to you, all right, we’ve lost, but if you lose, you will leave and restore everything to normal.”

“Mykan…” Sabrina said with shock.

"No, don't you see...?" I said to my wife "If the game is making her stronger, maybe we can use it against her like the others have against the ponies. If I win, maybe... just maybe... she'll have used up so much power she won't be able to sustain the force anymore; things can be evened out."

I turned back to face Celestia again. "Well, do you accept?"

Celestia hesitated as she thought it over. Finally she said “Very well, but only one condition: Your wife must duel alongside you; two against one.”

Sabrina and I gazed at one another.

“Why not…” said Celestia “I can take the both of you on, and I do need energy to maintain my power and life force.”

“We accept the challenge.” I said.

Sabrina gazed at me “Mykan… wait… I…”

“It’s all right.” I said to her “I know we can do this, and the world is counting on us, like it has before in the past.”

Sabrina, still feeling a bit uneasy about participating in what was defiantly the most dangerous duel ever, reluctantly agreed. “Okay, I’m in.” she said.

I nodded thankfully at her.

Celestia snickered, and all three of us prepared to duel.

“This shall be the greatest and final spectacle your world shall witness before its demise.” Celestia said.

Sabrina and said nothing, not even to each other, but we looked at one another, both thinking the same thing; we wouldn’t’ give up, and we would defeat Celestia, vanquish he evil controlling her and save the world from its doom.

As for the duel itself, the order of turns were; first Sabrina would move, then I would move, and then over to Celestia. Since the duel was two on one, Celestia got to start off with a full 8000 life points while Sabrina and I each got 4000. Finally, as expected, Sabrina and I were forbade from discussing strategies.

Sabrina and I prepared our duel disks, and Celestia and created her duel platform. It was a pity though that Sabrina and I didn’t know what type of strategy she was going to use, but we were defiantly about to find out.

“The fools…” Celestia hissed in thought “They haven’t the faintest idea of the dangers my deck will produce. I hunted down and stole extremely dangerous cards that will ensure my victory.”

“All right, let’s begin.” I said.

“I’m with you, Mykan.” added Sabrina.

Celestia snickered, and our scores were set.

“Let’s go.” Sabrina said as she drew her cards, and then gazed at me, and I nodded at her. She shot me a small smile and then focused.

“My first card is POT OF GREED, so now I draw two more cards.” She drew her cards giving her seven in her hand. “Now, I play POLYMERIZATION, fusing together two CYBER DRAGON(s) in my hand, which lets me call on THE CYBER TWIN DRAGON!”

Her great big machine stood forth, and both its monstrous heads roared loudly.

“An impressive opening move…” Celestia said.

“Just wait, it’ll get even better.” said Sabrina “Now I place two cards face down and end my turn.”

Now it was my move, and I drew my first cards. “All right…” I said “I summon one monster face down in defense mode, and then I place two cards face down, ending my turn.”

“How pitiful…” said Celestia “Your wife summons a mighty dragon machine while you cower in defense. I’m disappointed.”

Sabrina and I didn’t like her attitude. Nevertheless, it was now her turn and she drew her first cards.

“I shall use the spell DOUBLE SUMMON! Now I call forth not one, but two NIGHT EXPRESS KNIGHT(s)!”

Sabrina and I gasped. Both those monsters were level ten, but having created the cards we knew they could be normal summoned without any tributes, provided their attacks were reduced to zero.

“Every princess needs her carriage and noble knights by her side.” said Celestia “But my two knights will not be staying long. I now overlay both these level ten monsters, so I may build the overlay network.”

Sabrina and I looked way up as we saw a new monster appear in the skies above Celestia.

“Behold my monster; SKYPALACE GANGARIDAI!”

“She summoned an Xyz monster that strong in just one turn.” I said.

“Not just any monster…” said Sabrina “One that we created ourselves.”

Sabrina and I both remembered creating cards together based on our love, and romantic fantasies we liked to have together, like sailing on a flying ship.

“Now, to continue…” hissed Celestia “I use my Skypalace’s special ability; by using one overlay unit, I am able to destroy one card on the field and deal 1000 points of damage to whomever owns that card.”

She eyed Sabrina’s Cyber Twin dragon, seeing it as a huge threat. “Say goodbye to your monster.” She hissed, and ordered her monster to strike it.

“Nice try…” said Sabrina “I activate DE-FUSION! It splits my dragon up into the original Cyber Dragons I fused it with, and you miss your target.”

Just as promised, Sabrina’s dragon vanished, causing the blast to miss, and her two smaller Cyber Dragon’s appeared.

Celestia grunted softly.

“Great move, darling.” I said “Not only did Celestia miss her target, but her monster isn't able attack this turn for using it's effect.”

My wife nodded, but Celestia suddenly snickered. “The duel is only just beginning. Don’t think for one moment you’ve landed safely on your feet. Now I activate the spell, RANK-UP-MAGIC ASTRAL FORCE!”

Sabrina and I both winced, fearing we knew what was going our way now as Celestia’s monster glowed along with her astral mark.

“I no rebuild the overlay network with my Skypalace, to call on forth, CXYZ SKYPALACE BABYLON!”

This was yet another monster Sabrina and I had designed based on our love and fantasies. It pained us to know that monsters we poured our hearts and souls into were being used against us in such a duel.

“You seem tensed…” said Celestia “Well, perhaps I can blast it right out of you. After all, since I am the last to move, I am permitted to attack. So let’s try this again.”

She glared at Sabrina’s dragons, and ordered her palace to attack one of them. “Attack now…!”

The Skypalace charged its laser cannon to fire straight at her.

“Hold on!” I shouted “I activate the trap SPELLBINDING CIRCLE! It ensnares your skypalace and holds it in place, preventing it from attacking at all.”

Celestia grumbled softly.

“Why grumble?” I said “After all, I am allowed to help defend my wife if she needs it; like a good husband should.”

Sabrina smiled thankfully and she smooched the air gesturing to me.

“Impressive, but far amusing.” Celestia said “I’ll place these last two cards facedown and end my turn.”

“All right, so far so good…” I thought to myself “We made it through the first round, but it’s really going to take some effort to bring down that giant ship.”

Sabrina was thinking deeply as well “We’ve got try and end this duel quickly. Every second we delay brings the world closer to destruction. I won’t let Mykan down.”

She drew her next card and said “Now, I’m going to overlay both my level five Cyber Dragons. With these monsters, I build the overlay network, and Xyz Summon CYBER NOVA DRAGON!”

(Atk: 2100)

Celestia grinned widely and hissed “Thank you.”

“Why are you thanking me?”

“When you special summoned your creature, you’ve allowed me to play this card; I activate DEMISE OF THE LAND!”

Sabrina and I both gasped.

“This powerful spell now enables me to activate any field spell from my deck, and I know exactly which one it shall be…”

The ground began to tremble and quake.

“What’s happening?” Sabrina asked.

“Look!” I cried as we both saw what appeared to be a huge golden castle rising up from the ground. “That… that card…!”

“It can’t be!” cried Sabrina.

Celestia snickered loudly “Welcome to GOLDEN CASTLE OF STROMBERG! This palace is the final piece that will complete my deadly strategy and ensure your destructions.”

Sabrina and I could not understand this a bit. This field spell was one that had not even been completed yet. It was among the most recent cards being developed back at Duel Academy, but we hadn’t perfected it yet or given it all its special effects yet.

…It hadn’t even been printed yet.

“You seem quite perplexed, both of you.” said Celestia “I had my agents bring me whatever they could find, and this card I found most amusing, so I completed it for you; giving it a whole list of special effects that guarantees anyone a perfect victory.”

Sabrina and I felt a little uneasy about this.

“And just what are those special effects you’ve given the card?” I asked.

“Oh, you will see in due time.” Celestia said and then snickered “Of course, by then you’ll realize just how hopeless the situation really is.”

Sabrina and I gazed at one another wondering just what this new card was capable of doing, and so, in doubt, the only choice we had was to set off any tricks waiting for us; at least it would tell us things.

“Now I activate my Nova Dragon’s special ability.” said Sabrina by using one overlay unit, I can then target in my graveyard that very monster, which is Cyber Dragon, and summon him straight to the field.”

“Am I supposed to be impressed by this little maneuver of yours? I am far from it.” Celestia sneered.

“Trust me, you will be.” said Sabrina “Now I get to banish my Cyber Dragon from play, which activate another ability of my Nova Dragon; it increases its attack up by 2100 points.”

Celestia gasped “That dragon is stronger than my ship.”

“Correct.” said Sabrina “And you know what that means, your ship’s about to crash.”

She ordered her Nova Dragon to attack.

“Got’cha!” hissed Celestia.

“Huh?” said Sabrina

“Hmm…?” I went, and then we both noticed the castle was glowing brightly.

“You just activated one of my castle’s special powers.” said Celestia “You see, whenever you attack me with your monster, that monster automatically gets destroyed!”

“Ah!” Sabrina gasped.

“What...?!” I shouted.

Then the castle fired a huge ray at Sabrina’s dragon, blasting it to pieces.

“And what’s more…” said Celestia “You now take damage equal to your monster’s attack power.”

Sabrina and I gasped again.

“I will not allow this!” I shouted “I activate MYSTICAL SPACE TYPHOON! Your castle is about to buried within its powerful currents.”

The storm raged on Celestia’s castle, however, nothing happened!

“What’s this?!” I cried “Your card should have been destroyed!” Then it donned on me “Let me guess; you made it so this card cannot be destroyed by cards effects?”

Celestia nodded slyly. “Try as you might, nothing you throw at my castle can penetrate its golden walls, as for your wife there…”

The effect of her attack was continuing. “Sabrina!” I cried out “Her dragon had 4200 attack points! She’ll lose the duel!”

“No I won’t…” snapped Sabrina “I activate the DAMAGE POLARIZER! It stops any effect from dealing me any damage.”

The ray ceased just inches before her, sparing her from any damage as promised. “Then, each of us may draw one card.”

We all drew one card each, and Celestia was not amused.

“There’s something else...” Sabrina said “...When you destroyed my Nova Dragon with a card effect, you let me activate another of its specialties; allowing me to summon one Machine-Type Fusion Monster, and I chose my faithful CYBER END DRAGON!”

Celestia gazed up at the huge hulking hulk of a machine as its three heads roared at her, blowing her mane in the wind, but rather than be irritated, she grinned.

Sabrina and I noticed this, and then saw Sabrina’s Cyber End Dragon getting ready to attack. “Hey, wait!” she shouted “I didn’t call out for an attack.”

“You didn’t have to…” said Celestia “My castle forces your monster to attack if it’s able to, and you get no say in the matter.”

The Cyber End Dragon continued to charge and prepare for attack. “Hold on…” Sabrina snapped “Thanks to my Damage Polarizer card, I was able to draw this, which I play from my hand now; BOOK OF MOON!”

“Ah!” Celestia gasped.

“Ah, but of course…!” I cried with glee “By using that card, Sabrina’s monster changes into facedown defense-mode, and the attack is canceled out.”

Sabrina smirked and sneered “Who says I don’t have a say in things? Now I place one card face down and end my turn.”

Now it was my turn, and although I was relieved that Sabrina saved herself, that still didn’t change our predicament.

“What now?” Celestia teased “You can’t destroy my castle, and all monsters you summon will only let you down.”

She then thought silently “And I still have a few more special tricks yet to show that will completely devastate the both of you.”

I didn’t like the look in her eyes as I drew my next card. I carefully considered my options. “Celestia’s Skypalace is still immobilized by my Spellbinding Circle, but even still, I don’t have any monsters strong enough to take it down yet. Plus, the castle will destroy my monster if it attacks. I guess I’ll just have to play it safe for now, like Sabrina did.”

“Now I reveal my monster; BIG EYE!”

“His special ability now allows me to look at the top five cards on my deck, then I set them back down in any order I wish.”

I looked at my cards, and then compared what I had in my hand, and a plan was starting to form. I rearranged my cards and set them back down again.

“Now I activate the spell GRACEFUL CHARITY. So now I draw three cards, and then discard two that I hold.”

I drew the top three cards I needed, and then sent the perfect two in my hand to the graveyard.

“And now, I shall sacrifice my Big Eye, in order to summon CASTLE GATE in defense-mode!”

“Interesting.” said Celestia “You pit a castle against a castle.”

“Yes…” I said in response “And my Castle Gate cannot be destroyed in battle. So let’s see you try and get yourself past these perimeters. I’ll set two cards facedown and end my turn.”

Sabrina nodded at me, and I nodded back. Then we turned to face Celestia as she drew her next card, and snickered at us while her castle started to glow.

“What’s happening now?” asked Sabrina.

“Nothing really…” Celestia teased “It’s just that to keep a castle like this can be quite costly. Therefore, to keep it in play, you must send half the cards in your deck to the graveyard.”

Sabrina and I felt both shocked and confused.

“Half the cards in your deck…?” asked Sabrina.

“You’d destroy half of your deck just to keep one card in play?” I added.

Celestia snickered and shook her head “I’m afraid you didn’t quite understand; I said YOU must pay up the cost.”

Sabrina and I gasped hard, and like magic half the cards from our decks vanished and went straight to the graveyard just like that; thankfully the top cards of my deck remained untouched as the card only said to discard from the deck, not directly from the top.

Still, Sabrina and I were totally outraged. “This is insane!” snarled Sabrina “How can we possibly fight a card that was designed against us in every detail?”

“You can’t!” scoffed Celestia “That’s the whole idea. I have designed the perfect card; completely impenetrable and ensure my victory, speaking of which…” she drew her next card.

“I now activate a spell known as NIBELUNG’S TREASURE!”

Sabrina and I had never seen that card before. “It must have been another card in recent development.” I said.

“But what does it do?” asked Sabrina.

Celestia snickered and answered “It allows me to activate one spell in deck, and I choose REMOVE TRAP!”

The card then activated… on Sabrina’s side of the field. “Hey, what’s going on?” she asked in confusion.

“Oh, did I mention the card activates for you?” Celestia teased “Which means you get to use all its power.”

“What?!” snapped Sabrina.

“You heard me. Now you are able to destroy one trap card that is active, and seeing as how there only is one...”

“…My Spellbinding Circle!” I cried.

“Oh, no!” cried Sabrina.

Celestia was overjoyed. “Not only is my Skypalace now free, but thanks to my Nibelung’s Treasure, I may draw five cards.”

This was bad indeed, now Celestia had a full set of six cards. “Well, you know what they say about castles, they often contain treasures, and special of treasures, my castle now will show you another one of its powers… one that I’m sure you know of.”

Sabrina and I did in fact know-- The only special effect we officially had fixed to the card was that it allowed it’s user to special summon any monster with up to four stars from the player's deck in attack mode, but in addition, Celestia was not permitted to normal summon or set any monsters.

“Say hello now to my newest monster, NIGHTMARE HORSE!”

Sabrina and I gawked at the horse.

“Judging from your expressions, you know that this monster may attack you directly.” said Celestia “Just as I learned of your Earth History, the Trojans surprised their enemies by hiding themselves within a wooden horse, and attacked form within.”

With that, she ordered her monster to strike me. The sneaky horse dashed right through my castle, and slammed hard right into me.

“Mykan!” cried Sabrina.

I wasn’t hurt too badly, but Celestia wasn’t through yet!

“Now I activate the trap ROBBIN’ GOBLIN!”

“Oh, no…!” I cried

“Oh, yes…” hissed Celestia “As long as this trap remains in play, when you take battle damage, you must discard one card from your hand.”

I growled angrily, but complied and tossed out a card.

“And now that my skypalace is free…” Celestia said as she eyed at Sabrina, and ordered her monster to attack her facedown Cyber End Dragon. The sky palace began to charge up its laser cannon.

“You do remember what will happen if your monster is destroyed?”

“Yes…” sneered Sabrina “I take damage equal to half of its original attack power; 2000!”

I watched in horror as the cannon fired and blew Sabrina’s facedown dragon to bits, Sabrina braced herself as she bright lights and shockwaves zoomed past her.

Celestia smiled wickedly, but when she looked at the score… “What’s this?!”

“Why have my life points taken damage?”

Sabrina grinned through the smoke as it cleared, “Because... you fell into my trap; BARREL BEHIND THE DOOR! It made it so you took all the damage instead of me.”

I smiled at my wife for having made a great move, while Celestia was outraged, but her scowl curled into a wicked grin. “A clever move, but still… you are now wide open, and seeing as you created the skypalace, you know of its other specialty; When it successfully destroys a monster while it has Skypalace Gangaridai attached it, I can use one overlay unit, and my monster can attack again!”

Her skypalace charged up, ready to attack again, and Sabrina was completely defenseless. “Fire!” shouted Celestia.

“Hold on!” I called “Activate SPELL TEXTBOOK!”

“What?!” snapped Celestia.

“I now discard every card I hold.” I threw out the one card I had “Now I draw one card from the top of my deck, and if it’s a spell card, it activates at once.”

Celestia felt a bit uneasy.

“And since I arranged my card, and didn’t discard them, I know exactly what this card I’m about to play is.” I drew it and held it up high “I play the RING OF MAGNETISM, and I equip it to my Castle Gate!”

The magical ring formed directly around my castle, and reduced its defense by 500 to 1900.

“My castle may have gotten weaker, but now I’m afraid your monster’s attack is being pulled towards my magnetic field.”

The skypalace’s laser beam veered off course, directly at my castle, hitting it hard.

“And of course, my castle isn’t destroyed in battle, which means your monster can't use its special ability. You've wasted a great deal of power..”

Celestia growled in outrage, while Sabrina gazed at me and nodded thankfully and lovingly.

Celestia then laughed loud.

“What’s so funny?” I asked.

“I must admit, I’m impressed that you both managed to make it this far, but even so, you’re only prolonging the inevitable.” She motioned all around us at all the chaos, which put us both well in mind that time was running out.

No more than an hour remained until it would all be over.

“Face it!” snarled Celestia “Even if by some miracle you manage to defeat me, which I sincerely doubt, you won’t save your world from its fate. That’s when I shall return to Equestria and continue my reign as I conquer all worlds, until every world, every dimension, every being anywhere… will bow to me and my powerful light!”

Sabrina and I both felt extremely nervous.

…

Back in Equestria, things were no longer in our army’s favor.

The people were growing exhausted from having been fighting for such a long time, not to mention their weapons were running low on power and needed reenergizing… back on Earth!

Despite all the many ponies and creatures the army had knocked out cold, there were many more that made up the entire world of Equestria.

Now, so many creatures and ponies were chasing down the army in the biggest mob anyone would ever had seen, and the people were forced to run or fly for their lives, but ultimately they were completely surrounded.

“I think were busted!” cried Lee.

“Gee, what gave you that thought?” said Marc.

“This is so totally not good!” Clover whined.
