Final Episode: A New Future Shines Like the Sun

All over the world, darkness floods the streets. People run in terror as the darkness engulfs them and they disappear. Above them, darkness pours out of the open doors and begins to block out the Sun. Inside the Underworld, Vergil begins laughing again [Vergil LP = 100] as Yusuke and the others look up in shock [Yusuke LP = 2600] [Axel LP = 400] [Seth LP = 1000]. Yomishin Rex- Saidai Akuma stands over the field as its three heads laugh [ATK 5000/DEF 5000 LV 12]. Yusuke has Hyper Speed Dragon and no other cards on the field [ATK 3500/DEF 3000 LV 12]. Seth has a set card and Radiant Aurora Dragon [ATK 3700/DEF 1900 LV 12]. Axel has a set card and Silver Storm Dragon [ATK 4000/DEF 3800 LV 12].

Yusuke: What happened?.what have you done?!

Vergil: This is the final Yomishin, the king that rules over all Yomishin. He divides his power into three forms due to how strong he is. And now that you?ve destroyed his three separate forms, he is allowed to combine into his true and ultimate form. With this release, the dark power has shattered its seal and spilled into the human world.

Axel: Damn it?are you serious?! You tricked us into bringing that thing out?! Where are all of our friends?

Vergil: Akuma has absorbed them of course. Inside of it, they will be twisted using the power of darkness and become the agents of the new world. There is still the option for you to surrender and join them. Otherwise you will suffer a long and painful demise.

Seth: As if we?d surrender to you. Say whatever you want. We?re going to take you down Vergil!

Vergil: Even in the face of such obvious death you oppose me?

Seth: Of course we do. We?d never serve someone like you.

Axel: Besides, size isn?t everything. Against our Accel Synchro monsters, you don?t stand a chance.

Yusuke: We?ll never surrender to you. Never! We?ll fight until the end! Turn end.

Vergil glances down at them and his body shakes as he breaks into laughter.

Vergil: Look at you down there. Compared to the face of my monster, you look so tiny and helpless.

Axel: Who are you calling tiny and helpless?!

Seth: Indeed. So far you haven?t done anything too impressive as of late. That ugly monster of yours can?t hurt us.

Yusuke: I?ve seen bigger and badder monsters. You really want to impress us then take us down. As long as we keep our Accel Synchro monsters on the field, we?ll be able to stay alive. Turn end.

Opening

Vergil: Then it is my turn. I draw. I use the Spell card Burial From a Different Dimension. Now three removed from play monsters return to my graveyard.

Axel: Big deal!

Vergil: If you knew the true terror of my monster, you?d be more intimidated. My monster?s effect triggers at this time. Once per turn, I can remove all Yomishin monsters in the graveyard. For each one, he gains 1000 points. I remove all three [ATK 8000/DEF 5000 LV 12].

Seth: An attack power of 8000?! So that was his aim!

Vergil: Oh. And I forgot to mention. Any monster effects, Spells, or Traps used against Akuma are negated.

Yusuke: What?! You mean?there?s no way to fight against that thing!? With 8000 attack points and a resistance to all card effects?

Vergil: Yes. That is the expression I wanted to see. That utter realization that there is no hope. That expression suits mankind well. Yusuke, you will be the first to taste true despair. Saidai Akuma, finish him once and for all! Trinity Sin Blasts!

All three heads charge up energy. Yusuke looks on in horror as the three attacks fire simultaneously and fuse together. Hyper Speed looks up as the attack gets closer. Suddenly, Radiant Aurora Dragon flies in the way,

Yusuke: Seth!

Seth: Yusuke, you have to survive! You are the only one who can defeat Vergil! After all, you surpassed me. I entrust the future to you. One day we will finally settle who the real champion is!

Vergil: So you wish to be first eh? So be it.

Dragon is hit and disintegrates. Seth screams in pain as the blasts hit him and send him flying [Seth LP = 0]. Axel and Seth look on as he turns into a light and is sucked inside of Akuma.

Vergil: Fool. He died for a worthless cause.

Yusuke: No?Seth! Damn it, why did you do that?!

Axel: Yusuke, get a hold of yourself! If you let him egg you on, you?ll lose for sure. Seth gave us another chance to take him down. Let?s not let it go in vain.

Vergil: Either way, the end result remains the same. I will end my turn with that. Come now. Show me your struggle.

Axel: My turn, draw! I use the Spell Card of Demise. This lets me draw 5 cards. But in five turns my entire hand will be discarded. This?ll do just fine though! I equip my monster with Megamorph! Now since my life points are higher, his power is halved [ATK 2000/DEF 3800 LV 12].

Yusuke: Axel! What are you doing?!

Axel: Watch and learn! I use the Spell card Reversal of Gain. Now instead of my monster?s power being halved, it is doubled [ATK 8000/DEF 3800 LV 12]. Your monster may not be destroyed by effects, but you didn?t say anything about battle. Silver Storm Dragon, let?s?

Vergil: The effect of my monster triggers at this time. When my Yomishin is on the field, I can remove all cards in my graveyard from double to double his attack points until the End Phase of this turn. With this power, I double the power of my Yomishin [ATK 16000/DEF 5000 LV 12].

Axel: 16000 attack points?! Forget it, pull back your attack!

Vergil: Now do you see? You can throw all your hope at me. But I will take that hope and crush it under my despair. Nothing you do will change the inevitable end of this duel.

Yusuke: A monster that can get up to 16000 points in an instant...we can?t win against this thing. We can?t?

Axel: Damn it Yusuke, snap out of it! Don?t let this guy get to you!

Vergil: So you are the first to let despair in. Interesting. Tell me Axel, do you wish to surrender painlessly as well?

Axel: Up yours! Axel Seshia doesn?t surrender to anyone! I set 2 cards and end my turn.

Vergil: My turn. At this time, my monster?s power returns to normal [ATK 8000/DEF 5000 LV 12]. However, there is really no need for this power. Spell card, Mystical Space Typhoon. I destroy your Equip Spell Axel.

Axel: Damn you?[ATK 2000/DEF 3800 LV 12]. Now Megamorph is backfiring?

Vergil: Time to end this! I can finish you off any time now Axel. But Yusuke I might not get another chance on. We?ll start with you. Akuma, destroy Hyper Speed Dragon! Taste defeat!

Axel: No! Dodge it Yusuke, come on man!

Yusuke: Why?? We can?t win. He?s got such a strong monster out. We?re doomed.

Axel: Damn it, you never used to think like that man! Silver Storm, take that hit!

Vergil: So you want to be next eh?

Yusuke: No?.Axel!

The Dragon flies in the way and is hit. It roars in agony and struggles to stay strong as it is pushed back. Axel gasps as the energy waves streak by him.

Axel: Yusuke! I know you can beat this guy man. You?ve never let us down before, no bad things went. I know we can entrust things to you again. You?d better not disappoint us! I?m?counting on?you?

The attack destroys Dragon and hits Axel. He is sent flying back and screams in pain [Axel LP = 0]. He turns into light and is sucked inside of Akuma. Yusuke?s eyes widen in shock and he falls to his knees, facing the ground.

Yusuke: Alicia. Dex. Axel. Seth. Tamika. Everyone?everyone?s gone. I?m all alone now?

Vergil: May that be a lesson to you. This is what your hope resulted in. Standing alone against a god. I?ll give you a final chance to surrender.

Yusuke: Surrender?

Vergil: You?ve fought a valiant battle. Even as your enemy you have earned my respect. No one could have asked more of you. But it is simple. You cannot continue this struggle against me. You will only embarrass yourself by trying.

Yusuke: But my friends?they were all counting on me. But I can?t win?

Vergil: Hope is a fragile thing. I learned a long time ago that hope cannot help. Let me tell you a story Yusuke Iruiza. About a boy whose one dream was to see the Sun.

He closes his eyes and looks off in the distance as he remembers. A small child sits in a dark cave and looks up at the ceiling.

Vergil: I was born in a country ruled by a vicious dictator. For our own safety, my parents moved me underground. I was born only knowing darkness. My name was Omoi, a word that means hope. I used that name to dream about the world above. What it was like, what it smelled like, what it looked like. I spent my entire life living a foolish dream of the surface.

Man: I knew I?d find you here Omoi. What are you doing?

Omoi: I get the best view of the Sun?s rays from here.

Man: You know it is too dangerous to stay here for too long. Come on, let?s get back to your mother.

All three sit at a table eating. Young Vergil looks down in sorrow.

Woman: What?s wrong?

Omoi: Hey?do you think I?ll ever see the Sun one day? I?ve heard so many stories about it. But is it really there? Or is it just a story?

Man: ?Trust us. The Sun is there alright. And trust me, the Sun is one of the most beautiful things you could ever see.

Woman: Do you know why we called you Omoi? We called that because you are our hope. As long as we have you, we have hope to live. Once you get something to live for, you?ll always succeed in life.

Omoi: I see?in that case, I want to see the Sun. That?ll be my dream.

He looks up as Vergil laughs in the present day.

Vergil: What a fool I was. I actually believed in hope. I believed in that naïve dream until it was shattered along with everything else.

Back in the flashback, Omoi runs with his parents towards a boat as it begins to rain. As they run, figures run after them. Omoi trips and begins to cry as his parents help him up and they run.

Sailor: Hurry! We?re going to leave without you.

The boat begins to pull away as Omoi struggles to keep up. His parents glance at each other and nod as his father picks Omoi up and throws him onto the ship as they are grabbed.

Omoi: Mom! Dad!

Woman: Omoi, don?t worry about us! As long as you are alive, our hope is alive!

Dad: Remember something son. No matter what happens, find a reason to live!

They are dragged away as Omoi collapses. He screams as the Sun begins to shine and Omoi glares up at it. Yusuke watches in shock as Vergil opens his eyes again.

Vergil: On that day, I had lost everything I ever loved. And for what? The fulfillment of a childish dream. Can you imagine how I felt? For the first time in my life I saw the Sun and it shined over a tragedy. As I saw more of the world, I saw how vile it is. The Sun only shines for those the world deems lucky while everyone else is treated like dirt. I decided enough was enough. I made a vow to change the world so that those living in despair could find solace in this world. Hope is meaningless. Things cannot change just because you wish for them to. I am going to release the powers of the Underworld and rewrite the world so that those on the bottom will rise to the top. And that arrogant Sun will never shine again.

Yusuke: Vergil?sorry, but after hearing that I can?t let you win. You can?t force people to change Vergil, especially through means like that. That makes you just like that dictator you insulted!

Vergil: It appears you still understand nothing. Very well. I?ll open your eyes to the truth soon enough. I end my turn.

Yusuke: Alright?here goes. Draw! Descending Lost Star. Alone this card can?t help me. I just have to hope whatever cards those two left me pay off. I set a card. I change Hyper Speed Dragon to defense mode and end my turn [ATK 3500/DEF 3000 LV 12]. That ends my turn.

Vergil: It appears even your deck does not want to continue this battle. I might as well put it out of its misery. I draw. Spell card, Painful Choice. Now I select five cards from my deck. You select one and it goes to my hand.

Yusuke: Three copies of Fairy Meteor Crush and two Big Bang Shots? Damn?he?s going to deal Piercing damage. I choose one of the Fairy Meteor Crush cards.

Vergil: As if you had a choice. Now this results in the end. I equip Akuma with Fairy Meteor Crush, giving him the power to deal Piercing damage. As you know, my monster?s power doubles by removing my graveyard from play during my Main Phase. I can only use when I have five cards minimum. This is over. Akuma, wipe him out!

Yusuke: Trap card, D2 Shield! This doubles my monster?s defense points [ATK 3500/DEF 6000 LV 12].
