Star looked up in time to see the beams of light hit the ground, and was surprised the ground was not ripped open by the force.
The members of the newly christened ‘Team Stardust’ watched 5 figures step out of the beams, each dressed in a shining white cloak, though one had trims of gold running along him. They looked at each other for a moment before their eyes rested on the duelists in front of them, and a blindingly white duel disk shimmered from nothing onto their arms, barring one.
“Um, who the heck are you guys dressed up as?” Said KD bemusedly. Star frowned and looked at what she guessed to be the leader, the golden one.
“We are the final remnants of our cause.” Said one of them at once.
“The last warriors of the Light of Destruction” Said another.
“Light of Destruction…” Muttered Blaze, thinking of where he had heard that before.
The one in gold raised his head at Blazes mutterings. Star gasped at who it was; Vylone, her Uncle, who had disappeared on the night her father and mother had disappeared.
Vylone showed no interest in Star, and didn’t seem to recognise her. “The Light of Destruction was defeated by the Gentle Darkness almost 12 years ago,” Said Vylone, “We decided that this planet, with its constant stream of Duel Energy, could help revive our cause. Thus we slumbered in the cloud layer until the time was right, and inhabited bodies from the planet below us as a means of surviving, for we were only pure energy at that time.”
“But, why haven’t you left? If you said the planet had lots of Duel Energy, then…” Asked Teesha.
“Pah!” Snarled one of the figures. “We can only collect the Duel Energy from extremely fierce duels that we take part in, and we have only just revived enough strength to actually duel!”
“In case you fools don’t know, there is soon to be a tournament running not far from here, where the world’s top duelists will conglomerate. There we can fully restore our energy by defeating them all, and then work on reviving the Light of Destruction’s armies!” Imposed Vylone. “Once this is done, then we will resume our subjugation of earth, started oh so many years ago!”
“Not if we stop you first!” Blaze said as he switched on his Duel Disk. Blaze glanced at Star, who offered back the same look of determination and switched on her duel disk in tandem.
Vylone looked at them with as if appraising a rare rock. “Hmm, very well, we’ll be able to wipe off any rust that has gathered on our skills over the millennia. Alpha, Delta, Sigma and Epsilon, ready your duel disks too. The warriors did as commanded and advanced on the five of them with Vylone.
“Prepare yourself!” Growled Epsilon as he stepped up to Blaze. Blaze smirked and placed his deck into the duel disk.
Vylone strided up to Star and placed a glowing deck within his duel disk.
Alpha, Delta and Sigma stepped up to KD, Cyp and Teesha.
“Wait, we have to duel?” Asked Cyp. “B-but I’m not as good as-“
Delta laughed as he tapped a button on his duel disk and Cyp and Delta were surrounded by a wave of light. The others did the same, and each duelist was trapped; Epsilon with Blaze, Star with Vylone, Cyp with Delta, KD with Sigma and Teesha with Alpha.
Vylone let out a huge, bellowing laugh. “Perfect! This will be fun indeed! And think of all the Duel Energy we’ll harvest from these powerful duelists!”
The lights surrounding the players suddenly pillared into the sky, meaning each duelist was cut off from each other as Blaze started his turn and drew a card…

---

“I summon, The Tricky, in attack position!” Said Blaze as he discarded a card for its effect. Next, I activate Tricky Spell Infinity! This allows me to sacrifice The Tricky to special summon The Tricky Infinite, whose attack points raise by 1000 for each card in my hand, giving him 3000 attack points!”
Epsilon laughed harshly and drew as Blaze placed a face-down and ended his turn. “Pitiful! It is time to show you real duelling ability!” He placed a card into the spell/trap zone. “I activate double summon, which lets me summon twice this turn! So rise, Vylon Prism and Vylon Charger!” Two glowing monsters appeared before The Tricky Infinite, whose attack was lower than him. Blaze smirked, a useless double summon.
“Now, it is time to synchronise!” Yelled Epsilon as the two monsters became brighter and brighter until the lights merged and faded, revealing one monster. Blaze knew this couldn’t be good, and his smirk fell. “Meet, Vylon Epsilon! Now, the effect of Prism activates, allowing me to pay 500 life points to equip him to Vylon Epsilon!” Prism suddenly returned again and slotted into a port visible upon Vylon Epsilon as Epsilon’s life points fell to 3500.
“Now I activate the Equip Spell card, Vylon Filament!”
“Go, Mystical Space Typhoon!” Said Blaze, not waiting for an explanation of its effects, and a roaring Typhoon struck out at the new card.
Epsilon laughed. “His effects mean that cards equipped to him cannot be destroyed!” Blaze gasped, and saw his Typhoon bounce harmlessly off the card. “Don’t worry, ‘cos it won’t be here for long!” Epsilon growled as the card was absorbed into Vylon Epsilon. “His other effect means I can send it to the grave to destroy a card you control, and then Filament lets me add another Vylon card to my hand!” The Vylon launched a beam of energy into The Tricky Infinite and obliterated it as Epsilon pulled out a card from his deck.
“I activate Vylon Protomotion! This cards effect means that I can have a Vylon monster I control attack twice this turn by taking damage equal to his defence each time he attacks!” Roared Epsilon as he switched to the battle phase. “Oh, and Vylon Prisms’ effect means that he gains 1000 attack when he attacks!” Blaze gasped.
“Now, attack!” Said Epsilon as his life points scrolled to 2300, from Protomotion’s effect.
Blaze winced as his life points fell by 3800 to 200. “Now, this is annoying…” groaned Blaze.
“Attack again, and finish this!” laughed Epsilon, and his life points scrolled down to 1100…

To be continued…
Right now

“Not so fast!” Yelled Blaze, “I activate the effect of The Tricky Infinite in my grave, which lets me negate the battle damage,” Sure enough, an image of Infinite rose from the ground and absorbed the damage before exploding again. “Anything else?” Sniped Blaze, smiling at how he avoided an OTK. Epsilon ended his turn, flustered and annoyed.
“Draw!” Blaze said as he began his turn and added a card to his hand, and then gasped at it: It was The Seal of Orichalcos, the cursed card that had almost controlled him, if it wasn’t for Star beating him in a duel and washing him of the Orichalcos, he would be trying at this moment to resurrect the Great Leviathan. He had promised himself he would never play it, but holding it now felt different, as if it was no longer trying to control, but to help. “Let’s go! I activate, the Seal of Orichalcos!” The rings of green energy suddenly plumed from his duel disk and around his feet, and washed into the barrier. The barrier seemed to spark for a minute before dissipating under the cards power. A miniature version of the Seal appeared on his right hand, but it didn’t mean anything, for he was in control now.
“What?” Screamed Epsilon as the cards power travelled and broke the barriers around the other duelists too, and Blaze gave a sigh of relief at the others still duelling, and not having been beaten.
He turned back to Epsilon. “I activate The Tricky Infinite’s final effect, which allows me to banish him to summon back the regular The Tricky, and negate the effects of all cards you control for this turn, in return for losing 2000 life points during the End Phase.
“Haven’t you noticed? You only have 200, and you’re doubtful to beat me with that weak thing.” He said, and pointed towards The Tricky.
“Not at the moment, no! For I activate Tricky Spell 59, which, by discarding one card, swaps The Tricky with a monster in my deck, specifically Phantom Beast Cross-Wing, and then I sacrifice it to normal summon Phantom Beast Rock Lizard!” Blaze said as The Tricky disappeared to be replaced by Cross-Wing, and then finally by the Rock Lizard, a hulking creature who was just as large as Vylon Epsilon, both towering over the players. Oh, and he gains 500 attack points from the Seal, giving him 2700 attack!” An image of the Orichalcos appeared along the creature’s body.
“Now, attack!” Blaze roared as the Phantom Beast reared up to launch an attack.
Epsilon burst into laughter, however. “Are you humans really this idiotic? My monster has 2800! You’re still not powerful enough to destroy him!”
Blaze smirked at Epsilons lack of understanding. “I’m afraid not, for you see, the effect of the Phantom Beast Cross-Wing I tributed in my grave gives 300 attack to him, and over the course of the duel I discarded two more, one to fuel The Tricky’s summon at the duels beginning, and one to use Tricky Spell 59. This gives Rock Lizard 3600 attack!” Blaze said as he watched the Cross-Wings appear like ghosts around Rock lizard and power up his charging attack, as Epsilons smirk finally faded and he tried to run out of the Seal, being rebuffed each time by its strange energies. “There is no escape from the Orichalcos, nor the Stardust Duelers of Destiny!” Said Blaze as his monster finally finished up charging.
“Go, Phantom Beam on Vylon Epsilon!” Yelled Blaze; and Phantom Beast Rock Lizard let out a wave of shadowy energy, tinted green by the Seal’s energy, into the monster, which exploded harshly, causing Epsilon to lose 800 life points, bringing him down to 300. “Now, I activate his effect, for when he destroys a monster, you take 500 points of damage!”
“Arrrrrrrghhhh!!!!!!!!!!” Screamed Epsilon as the energy wave slammed into him, knocking his life points to 0. “Master Vylone… I-I-I-I’m so sor--“ Epsilon fell to the floor in mid-sentence, though just as the Seal closed around him to absorb his soul forever, he glowed and split into atoms. Blaze, who had half expected the Vylon’s to destroy their duelling victims anyway and that it would work against them when they lost, merely glanced at the spot Epsilon had died and walked over to root on the rest of the team, the Seal fading from his hand…
