Episode 101: The Phoenix has Landed (2)

At the duel, Aster and Sartorius have a brief argument over what can and can't be changed. Then Aster takes his turn by playing Doctor D, letting him Special Summon a Destiny Hero monster from his Graveyard by removing from play another Destiny Hero monster in his Graveyard. He chooses to Special Summon Destiny Hero - Disk Commander (0300) in Defense Mode. Next he plays Destiny Hero - Doom Lord (0800) in Defense Mode and uses its effect to remove from play Sartorius' Arcana Force XXI.

Then he activatess D - Formation and ends his turn. Sartorius playss Necro Sacrifice, giving Aster hiss Arcana Force III - The Empress (1300) and Arcana Force IV - The Emperor (1400) both in Defense Mode. If they're Heads, Aster gets their abilities. (You also get their abilities if their Tails, Aster.) They end up upside down and Aster must discard 1 card when Sartorius plays an Arcana Force monster and with The Emperor, Aster's Arcana Force monsters lose 500 ATK. Now with NS, Sartorius can play rcana Force XV - The Fiendd (2500) in Attack Mode and Sartorius attacks with it, destroying Doom Lord, then The Emperor by its effect and leaving Aster with 400, also with its effect.

Aster ponders whether it is all meant to be and that trying to change destiny is pointless. Sartorius tells Aster that his own body is just a pawn for the Light of Destruction. Suddenly, good Sartorius partially possesses Aster, saying he's been with Aster for some time. Sartorius protests that he destroyed good Sartorius but Aster/Sartorius says Sartorius is wrong. Aster tributes Disk Commander for Destiny Hero - Dasher (2100) in Attack Mode and with its effect, he tributes The Empress to give Dasher 1000 ATK this turn, raising its ATK to 3100.

He attacks and destroys The Fiend, leaving Sartorius with 2900. Dasher switches to Defense Mode when it attacks. He remembers talking to good Sartorius about their first encounter. Back in reality, Sartorius plays Reverse Reborn, letting him bring back The Fiend with its Tails effect, which destroys all monsters on the field when it attacks and he does so. Finally, he sets 1 card face down to end his turn. Aster draws and Sartorius gets back his The World monster while Aster plays D - Cubic (0000) in Attack Mode. Then, he sends D - Formation to the Grave to add 2 more D Cubics to his hand.

He chooses to discard his 2 D - Cubics and tribute the D Cubic he has out for Destiny Hero - Plasma (1900) in Attack Mode. He uses Plasma's effect to take The World and half of its ATK, raising its ATK to 3450. Next he puts D - Force face up on the top of his deck. He attacks directly but Sartorius discards Arcana Force XIV - Temperance to reduce Battle Damage from the attack to 0.

However, Aster activates the effect of his D - Burst, which lets his monster attack again by removing D - Burst from play and reducing his monster's ATK by 1000, leaving Plasma with 2450. He attacks directly, leaving Sartorius with 450. Sartorius draws and activates The Material Lord, The Spiritual Lord, and The Sky Lord, all of which he sends to the Grave for Arcana Force Extra - The Light Ruler (Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler in the TCG) (4000) in Attack Mode and attacks with it, winning the duel. Aster becomes ghost white as Sartorius laughs evilly.
