BE!Pietro chuckles, and he puts an arm around Lust.
"What can I say? You Homunculi've really grown on me, despite how much of a pain in the neck Envy can be," he replies. "So... I guess this means we're finally even now."
He gestures to the now-empty Susano'o Unit.

"Alright, good. We'll be back shortly." Miles nodded to his teammates and they followed him out... __________________________
Up on the rooftop, as the sun was starting to set, Corona and Nebula worked together to produce a large cloud of steam that wafted up into the evening sky to act as a makeshift smoke signal.
"And what a pain he can be indeed." , Lust says. She then looks at the armor and appears curious.
"Let's take a closer look at that thing, shall we?" , she asks, after which she starts walking towards GW!Thor and Amaterasu.
Bakura seems rather amused at Luxord's slip-up... then pauses when Kitten manages to deal with Millenium Shield instantly, the shield visually rusting as its defense is crippled, after which it gets destroyed.
"You've got to be kidding me." , he growls. He furiously draws a card.
"I activate the effect from Mezuki in my Graveyard. By banishing itself, I can bring back one Zombie monster. I revive my Archfiend Zombie-Skull in Attack Mode."
He brings the skeletal demon back from the Graveyard.
"... I then play Burial from a Different Dimension
◊, which will allow me to return three of my cards I banished to my Graveyard. I choose Mezuki, Plaguespreader Zombie and Wightmare."
As he takes them out of his pocket and discards them, Kaiba narrows his eyes.
"So his Wight ended up in the Graveyard after all... this makes nine."
"I then activate Mezuki's effect again to revive The Lady in the Wight in Defense Mode. I then end my turn... seeing as I can't attack that bloody sorcerer."
"This is starting to look bad... I need more time..."

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Rhea holds her arms over the Devourer, creating a mystic barrier that makes it... let's just say difficult to acknowledge her existence.
"Y'know, this reminds me of another technique I have - a ritual to draw out one's inner potential all at once. The more potential one has, the longer it takes, but the amount of power it offers is staggering. Hell, you might even be able to stand your ground alone against Calamitas with your potential unleashed."
Issun hops over. "Well, it's basically just armor now. Ammy and I'll find someone worthy to wield it. And if she's the god of good, you gotta trust her to know, right?"
Luxord draws a card with Marluxia
on it. He smirks and ends his turn without a move, as if rubbing it in.

Kitten prepares to draw. "I have to believe in the spleen of the cards!"
He draws Don Han'Cho,
and the Wisdomball procs. "Let me adjust the cost of that for you." The Don now costs 2 mana.
Kitten immediately plays Don Han'Cho, buffing the power of the second King of Beasts in his hand by +5/+5, making its ATK 7 and its HP 11. "I now use Master's Call, pulling three minion cards from my deck. Under normal conditions, I get to add one to my hand, but if they are all Beast-type, I get all of them!" He pulls... Hyena Alpha
, Jeweled Macaw
, and Springpaw
.
"Hah. Hah! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Adding those cards to his hand, he proceeds to... "I end my turn."
Oh.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."It didn't take long after the smoke started before there was a visible burst of flame and light from the sun, and moments later, the three Guardians from before landed next to Miles and the gang - this time coming in from the side where the sun was and skidding to a halt, the swordswoman and the staff-wielder already in the middle of talking.
"See? You worry too much. Providence has given them her blessing."
"That does not mean we did not have reason to doubt them. They defiled a relic and-"
"Hush now. We have business to attend to." The staff-wielder turned to Miles and the gang. "We have come to deliver the Uelibloom you were promised."
With a quick twirl of her staff, another burst of energy came from the sun, and an ornate stone crate was deposited on the roof, at least 6 feet across on all sides. Despite its size, it seemed to be rather light, since the roof was having no trouble holding it up.
The Devourer thought for a moment in silence about what Rhea had said. "... Nah, that wouldn't be the same. Part of the fun is actually getting the powers. Taking a shortcut like that would be boring. And besides, I... I don't want to fight Calamitas. She and I, we..." She stopped, sighing. "Actually, nevermind. Already spilled my heart to one mortal enemy recently, and look where that got me - now he's bringing me pizza and playing therapist."
"I'm not saying you should take it, I just want to give it a look. I want to see if it's something that might interest Father." , Lust says.
Once they get to the armor, she looks it over, pondering.
Kaiba actually looks slightly amused at Kitten getting it wrong. Mainly because he's so tired of hearing all about the 'Heart of the Cards' all the time.
"Not attacking me, huh?" , Bakura mutters. He then draws a card... and grins eagerly.
"A mistake you won't live long enough to regret! I play Polymerization
◊!"
Kitten should recognize the card as it appears on the field, seeing as Kaiba used it as well to summon his Ultimate Dragon.
"By fusing two Zombie monsters, I can summon the all-powerful Draconecro Nethersoul Dragon
◊!"
The Archfiend and the Lady in Wight vanish from the field, and the bone-armored dragon takes their place, making its presence known on the field with its massive 3000 Attack.
"I'm surprised he has such a rare card.", Kaiba notes to himself. Bakura chuckles.
"Kukuku... monsters that are involved in combat with this monster cannot be destroyed, so Draconecro cannot wipe out your beast. However, not only will you still receive the damage in their attack difference, but its attack will become 0, after which I will be able to summon a Draconecro Token on my side of the field that'll have the Attack points your beast lost."
A Powerful Boss Monster Attacks
He points at the King of Beasts.
"Now attack the King of Beasts and deal damage to his Life Points, then create your Token!"
Draconecro attacks the King of Beasts. If this attack isn't stopped, it'll deal 330 points of damage to Kitten's Life Points (unless they have a way to block the damage) and then create a token with 2670 Attack Points while Kitten's King of Beast's Attack Points drop to 0.
Regardless of the outcome, after this attack Bakura ends his turn.

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay."Give it to someone who's worthy, turn the damn thing into spare parts... do whatever the hell you two wanna do with it."
BE!Pietro looks back to Lust.
"Unless he's planning on making a new Homunculus or looking for a source of Philosopher's Stones, I don't think Father'll be needing it anytime soon."
"Wow..." Miles and the others gawked a little at the box before them. At realizing they were still in the middle of business he bowed in gratitude,"Thank you, and as promised, we'll ensure the Worm doesn't come anywhere near your master,"
At hearing the sword-wielder complaining yet again, he put up his hands,"Look, I really am sorry about what happened with the relic. It wasn't anything personal, and I honestly didn't know it was that important to you all. The fate of Terraria is at stake and surely you understand the need to serve a cause greater than yourselves."
"But if the relic is that important to you, then it shall be returned," Zero remarked as he eyed his pilot,"Miles. Delve into your memories and call back what has been lost."
"If that'll make things right..." Miles sighed and clapped his hands, picturing the relic that once lied in his hand. He began gathering Void essence before him and messing with it so as to recreate the item from memory.
Amaterasu shakes her head at Lust.
"We can smell bad vibes from you, lady. Sorry, but 'Father' ain't touching this."
Luxord draws a Samurai,
but he doesn't make a move. He is far too curious about whatever Kitten is about to do.

Kitten gets ouched, but in response, his Secret triggers.
Explosive Trap
All monsters on Bakura's side have their ATK and DEF reduced by 534 each.
He adds Call of the Wild
to his hand.
"Fool! I did not need the King of Beasts to be powerful. I only needed him alive! I play Springpaw, whose Battlecry adds a Lynx to my hand which I promptly play as well, leaving me 2 mana short. Next, I play Alleycat, who summons a cat companion to its side. Next, Jeweled Macaw, whose battlecry adds a random beast to my hand, and that is Scarlet Webweaver!
I promptly play that, and its battlecry reduces the cost of a Beast in my hand by five!"
He does a dramatic flourish. "WHICH I WILL NOW USE TO SUMMON MY SECOND KING OF BEASTS FOR FREE, WHOSE BATTLECRY INCREASES HIS ATTACK FOR EVERY BEAST I HAVE ON THE FIELD!"
That King of Beasts descends upon the battlefield with a dramatic roar, as its buffs apply and its stats shoot up... but then...
"Random legendaries are always good."
A green effect washes over it and transforms it into JESUS CHRIST
The lava monster, Golemagg, gets the buffs of the monster it replaced - +12/+5 - on top of its base 20/20 stats for a total of 32/25 - or, in Duel Monsters stats, 8544 ATK and 6675 DEF.
"Unexpected, but definitely favorable." He sics it on the Draconecro Nethersoul.

Rhea sighs. "I just wanted to be pragmatic, I guess."
Edited by KiriK on Sep 12th 2020 at 8:19:21 AM
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."The sword-Guardian took the relic as it was created in Miles' hands, and looking it over...
"A hollow imitation." She crushed it in her palm, throwing the shards on the ground before Miles. "How insulting. Were it up to me, you would burn in the flames of the Profaned Goddess for all eter-"
She was cut off as the staff-wielding Guardian smacked her hard over the head with her staff, knocking her to the floor. "While we appreciate the gesture, it will not be necessary. The significance of the relics is partly symbolic - it simply does not carry the same meaning when recreated like this."
The Devourer chuckled at Rhea's response. "I thought that was my job, kid. But yeah, long story short, no big ultimate power buffs for me. Not now, at least."
"Hm... what a shame. Well, it's very different from the technology we're used to anyway." , Lust says, then shrugging before turning to Pietro.
"Very well, then I should return to Father. We were supposed to help Pride look for something, but after that fight I'm pretty beat, even if my wounds are healed."
Bakura looks outright shocked by this turnaround. This time though, as his monster faces death, he remembers the face-down Trap Card he still has.
"I activate Spirit Barrier
◊!"
As the card activates, Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon gets annihilated by Golemagg. However, Bakura's Life Points stay untouched.
"Spirit Barrier will block all damage to my Life Points as long as I have at least one monster on the field, which my Token just so happens to be."
He then looks uncertain, clearly backed into a corner. He has no cards in his hand, he has no Pot of Greeds left, and only one token on the field that can easily be destroyed by Golemagg.
"No... no! NO! I need to last just a little longer! Until Diabound has done his part! Or it will all have been for nothing!" , he thinks to himself. He grimaces, then draws his card.
For a split moment, it's as if lightning rumbles around the dueling grounds, within the darkness itself. Bakura's expression goes from his previous anger and uncertainty to shock, disbelief, then evil glee.
"H... h-he... hehehehe... hahahahaha!"
He breaks out into demented laughter.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! H-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Kaiba looks unsure now.
"Damnit... don't tell me he drew the king..."
Bakura stops laughing, his expression looking... rather intense
◊.
"This game was fun while it lasted, but now it's time to put an end to this farce. You were never going to win, not even with that lava golem! I'll show you what true power is all about!"
The darkness begins to swirl around Bakura's feet.
"Power comes through sacrifice. That's a lesson he was painfully taught. And the power brought through said sacrifice can even pull the gods down to earth to be annihilated. And that's no brag. I'll now show you the power that brought down Ra!"
Now Kaiba looks outright shocked.
"What!? Are you claiming your deck was powerful enough to destroy the Winged Dragon of Ra!?"
Bakura chuckles darkly.
"How else would I have gotten my hands on the Millenium Rod, Kaiba?"
Kaiba goes silent, genuinely speechless for once. And the implications of that should tip Kitten off that something truly horrible is about to happen.
The darkness around Bakura's feet now turn into what appears to be spirits, lost souls, looking very similar to the spirits from the Spirit Barrier.
"After the deaths of many of his own, one remains, rising up and becoming the monster that his kind's killers feared with all their hearts. The King to stand on the corpses of his kind, as to achieve the dark powers needed to cast his enemies into eternal death and darkness. No act of terror is too great for the sake of revenge."
99 Skull Servants suddenly burst out of the ground in front of Bakura, piling up on top of each other to form a hill. The spirits circle around them, wailing in despair.
"The king of hate and terror finally shows itself to smite you pathetic humans! I summon The King of Skull Servants
◊!"
An arm bursts through the hill of Skull Servants, after which a single, larger and more intimidating-looking Skull Servant climbs out and stands on top of the others, letting out a low, soft, terrifying sound as black, visible breath escapes its mouth.
And then its attack power is displayed.
9000 ATK 0 DEF
"For every Skull Servant and Wight in the Graveyard, the King gains 1000 Attack... I'd hoped you'd have been able to defeat Bakura before he'd drawn that card... Had it not been for his defensive Trap Cards, you would've been able to do it too...", Kaiba says to Luxord and Kitten, looking serious.
"Now... I'm not sure you still have a chance of winning."
"Oh, allow me to put some clarity to your doubts, Kaiba!" , Bakura says. "King of Skull Servants, destroy the King of Beasts!"
The King of Skull Servants slowly raises its arms, after which the spirits circling the hill fly upwards, and when the King of Skull Servants lowers one arm to point at the King of Beasts, the spirits immediately charge towards their target, letting out high-pitched, tormented screeches.

"I got you. I remember when Ice Block was Standard." The Wondrous Wisdomball saves Kitten from an instant death by making him immune, causing his Life Points not to fall at all despite the 9000 ATK headed straight through his 0-ATK King of Beasts and to his face.
"My heart almost stopped right then and there."
Staring up at the King of Skull Servants, he sighs and draws Revenge of the Wild
. "Well, I tried. Golemagg... do your best."
The lava-monster, and all of Kitten's other summoned minions, bumrush the King of Skull Servants, and they are all crushed. The Wisdomball's effect persists, preventing Kitten from taking any damage from this.
"BUT! I PLAY REVENGE OF THE WILD TO SUMMON ALL MY FALLEN BEASTS FROM THIS TURN BACK TO THE FIELD, INCLUDING THE KING OF BEASTS WITH HIS ATTACK RESTORED AND TAUNT RENEWED!"
Kitten smirks. "But that's not all. I invoke my special Hero Power, Steady Shot, to bypass your monsters and deal a direct 500 damage to your Life Points!" He just fucking fires his bolter at Bakura.

What could he be thinking? ponders Luxord. Is he just consumed by the rush of the game? I saw no strategical advantages in sacrificing all his minions just to use that card, and a direct-damage power will do nothing against that barrier...
He gasps. It must all be to slow down the King of Skull Servants by forcing it to target a Taunt minion and psyche out Bakura!
Edited by KiriK on Sep 12th 2020 at 9:12:06 AM
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."At seeing his kind gesture basically get thrown back in his face, Miles narrowed his eyes and for a moment, one could see a blackish-red aura around him...
At least until the staff guardian seemingly got fed up with her friend's bullshit and knocked her to the ground. Ok, I like that one.
"And thank you for shutting your friend up for us," He offered the Staff Guardian a small smile,"But seriously, maybe drill her into her head to actually be grateful for what other people try to do for you guys and your boss."
"Yeah, instead of just treating us all like dirt," Nebula folded her arms,"Look, we get it. You're not fond of our kind. You see us all as worse than trash...but not all of us are bad people. Some of us are just trying to live our lives and do some actual good in the world. Is it too much to ask to be judged based on who we are rather than what we are?" At seeing how distraught she was getting, Corona pulled her into a one-arm hug.
"Huhuhu, fine by me~" , Lust says, after which she starts walking away from the armor, having made peace with the fact that she won't be able to take it to Father.
The shot just fizzles out against Spirit Barrier.
"What are you trying to do? Have you lost your mind already?" , Bakura asks, grinning sinisterly. "Or do you maybe think you can make me laugh myself to death? Either way, that little ball won't keep you safe forever!"
He points to himself, his grin becoming more insane.
"As the lord of darkness, I'll gladly snuff out that light!"
He draws a card, his grin widening when he sees it.
"Yeeeessss. With this card, you can no longer hide behind your beast! I play Opti-Camouflage Armor
!"
The armor manifests, strapping itself around the King of Skull Servants.
"What!? Damnit, he made a normally as-good-as-useless card deadly!", Kaiba says. "That card only works for monsters that have a star rating of 1, which are normally supposed to be weak monsters. A monster equipped with that armor can bypass the opponent's monsters completely and deliver a direct attack to that opponent's Life Points."
"Kaiba pretty much summed it up there! And with 9000 Attack Points... THAT'S AN INSTANT KILL!"
He points at Kitten.
"King of Skull Servants! Annihilate that mortal fool and let the shadows feast on his soul for all eternity!"
The King of Skull Servants raises its arms.
"And just in case you also have something to save you from this... Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon Token, if the King of Skull Servants' attack doesn't finish him off, destroy that blasted King of Beasts!"
The Dragonecro Token (2136 Attack) awaits the results of the King of Skull Servants' battle. Should Kitten survive the incoming attack, as the King points and the spirits bear down towards him, passing through his monsters like they don't even exist to target him directly, then the Token (which can kill, unlike its original counterpart) will attack and kill the King of Beasts.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay."I flip my Dragoon and use its effect to make it sacrifice itself to save Kitten!"
—
Kitten cowers before Luxord's Dragoon bursts forth and jumps in front of the King of Skull Servants, taking the attack with its own body to stop it and being smashed into wisps of vapor for it.

Luxord draws a card with Xemnas
◊ on it and smirks. "It is my time to shine now. First, I cast Xehanort's Dominion, transforming my lowly Creeper into the mightiest monster in my deck. Come forth, DRAGON OF XEMNAS!"
With an unearthly howl, the Creeper warps, twists, and transforms into a fucking mega-robo-dragon,
◊ floating over Luxord from behind. "This titan shall prove a challenge to overcome, for its special attribute requires it to be struck down three times to truly be rid of it. And on the note of ending lives, I cast Doom." He throws the Marluxia card, and mid-flight it disappears in a scattering of cherry blossom petals.
Then in a burst of those petals, Marluxia appears right behind Bakura and whispers something in his ear before vanishing. This is immediately followed by a giant laughing skull appearing over Bakura's head, a pool of darkness washing over the duel field, and Marluxia (Final Form)
◊ appearing on the field as a monster.
"You have three turns to destroy Marluxia, or I win. Instantly. Now then, YOU HAD BEST BRING YOUR A-GAME, FOR BOTH LIGHT AND DARK PALE IN COMPARISON TO THE GRAY BETWEEN, AND I AM ITS MASTER!"

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.""See, I knew you would find some way to survive." , Bakura groans. "You miserable humans should just-"
Then he pauses when he sees what kind of OP Incarnate combo play Luxord brings in.
"What!?"
"Well, this is very reminiscent of the Battle City Semifinals.", Kaiba snickers, angering Bakura even more, at least until he jumps when Doom!Marluxia whispers in his ear.
As he listens more, he looks more and more enraged.
"You son of a... I am the darkness itself! HOW DARE YOU DEFY ME!"
As the King of Skull Servants' power decreases to 7765 Attack, Bakura angrily draws his card.
"Watch it. You might tear it.", Kaiba taunts him. Bakura ignores him and looks at his card.
"I activate the effect of Wightprincess
◊, allowing me to send it to the Graveyard from my hand to reduce the Attack and Defense of all monsters on the field by 300 times their star level."
Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon Token: 0 Stars 2136 -> 2136
King of Skull Servants: 1 Star 7765 -> 7465 -> 8465
"Of course, since it's a Wight, the King will also gain an additional 1000 Attack." , Bakura grins. "Now then... this Doom card of yours won't be a problem if you're DEAD! King of Skull Servants, use the power of your armor to attack him directly!"
The King once more raises its arms, then points at Luxord this time, sending the spirits his way. He'll have to have his monster intercept to avoid getting killed.

My Assassin uses Die For Your Master," Luxord smugly declares. "Its Attack is far higher than its Defense, so that is the statistic that will be used to determine how much damage I take."
The Assassin Nobody leaps in front of the King of Skull Servants and dies, and Luxord be living.
He draws the Gambler
and smirks. "It is time to put your faith in luck." He places it face-up, and the Twilight Thorn face-down. Then a 6-sided die appears in front of the King of Skull Servants. The 1, 3, and 5 faces are replaced by X's, and the 2, 4, and 6 faces by O's.

Kitten draws Flare
. "I cast Call of the Wild, summoning the three loyal and faithful Animal Companions - Huffer,
Leokk,
and Misha!
"
Cue Wondrous Wisdomball. "That's a great spell! We should cast it again!"
Suddenly another set of Animal Companions appears on the field. Both instances of Misha have Taunt, so Bakura's monsters are forced to target one of them - Marluxia and Xemnas are not options. Not to mention that Leokk buffs the ATK of both Marluxia and Xemnas (among others), making it a riskier move to attack them head-on.
"Nice. And now, I cast Flare, forcing all face-down cards to reveal themselves, and all enemy trap cards and stealth-related abilities to be destroyed outright!"
A flare shoots at Bakura's side and explodes, doing just that - and taking down the Spirit Barrier for sure. As a bonus, since it normally wipes out stealth effects, it also destroys the Opti-Camouflage Armor.
If Bakura has any face-down monsters, it will trigger Luxord's trap card as well.
Also if the Gambler's 'attack' works, he'll destroy the King immediately with a Lynx.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."

Rhea smirks. "It's a plan. And I can conceal the Devourer's presence from Providence if need be. God-stuff, y'know?" She winks.
Amaterasu steps between the empty Susanoo Unit and Thor.
"Hey, hey, big guy, hold on!"
"I will converse with him myself, Issun." Amaterasu uses some sort of unintelligible god-speak to communicate with Thor in a way that Pietro and Lust can't hear.
"Could you leave that armor here? I sense no inherent malice within it. In the right hands, it could be used to save this realm from a threat on the same level as the one it came from, or higher."
Luxord draws Creeper,
and clearly not thinking very highly of it, he places it on the field right away, then has his Sorcerer attack the face-down Millennium Shield... which it doesn't destroy, fortunately for Bakura, but it looks like it would've been close.
