Duel Terminal and it's story

Chapter 1: those who fight each other. A Storm of war blows upon a new stage(Tatakau Monotachi. Aratana sutēji ni sensō ga fuku no arashi.)

Generations Long after the first war, finally the planet has recovered and those events are Merely legends to the new inhabitants.

A New Prophecy came to be in this new world, “When the darkness that distorts body and soul comes to be, Use the power of the Stars, For when you do, the Heralds from the stars will come to save you." The elders of each tribe keep this prophecy close to their hearts . Despite the fact that many were killed with Trishula’s attack, Naturias, Dragunites and some archetyps did survive(For Example “Mist Valley Shrine supports wind monsters in general not just mist valley, alluding to the union of new and old archetypes)

Gusto:
Link

Gusto are calm people who use calmness to communicate with the Winged Beasts of Mist Valley, they are a peaceful tribe at heart and have a defensive style. Yet they are ready to battle, More often than not they are attacked by the ambitious Gishki who want the bountiful resources of the new Mist Valley. To Prevent a war like the last one(Although most of the population believes it to be a mere fable they built a temple to honor the goddess “Sophia”
Link
(If you look closely you see Caam, Serenity of Gusto Praying, you’ll understand why soon.)

On the Flamvell’s fiery Lands now a new tribe rule its fieriness, Lavals.Laval
Link
Link

A Barbaric Tribe, Lavals Want the Gemknights Out ot the picture to gain their land and often clash with them.

In the former X-saber Land, a new power comes forth…
Gem-Knights
Link

As their ancestors, the X-sabers they value honor, chivalry and discipline, however upon the lavals barbaric attack. They counter-attack with greath might

The Barren Ice Barrie is now beneath the sea, most if it. Giving birth to one of the most MORBID and SINISTER TRIBES of the planet.
"Gishki"
Link

They copied their ancestors magic and made a mirror of their own
Their powers radícate in supporting rituals and to summon them they use…morbid methods, Noelia the leader(keep her in mind, she’s impotant) Link
Makes much of the tribe go through a “Purification” ritual. However this is just a faced
Link
As portrayed above, it is not always that the rituals ared made willingly and the transformation might kill the user. (Emilia is hinted to have died like this and that’s why she is a spirit) Despite the fact that the transformation is reversible, they do nightly rituals in morbid experiments to take control of the planet and even use captives from other tribes in their twisted rituals. (See the effect of “Forbidden arts of the Gishki” for more info.)
And it begins…again, a endless war.



Chapter 2: Light that falls above Earth and Fire.
(Kasai to chikyū ni hikari shainzu)

In a fierce fight, Lavals and Gemknights attack each other mercilessly however, from the sky a golden light stops their fighting.
Link
The Vylon demand both tribes to cease fire and explains to them that “The Impending darkness” Is about to return…




Chapter 3: Darkness covers Water and wind.(Yami wa, mizu ya kaze o musabori kuu)

Gishki were needy of the Mist Valley’s Resources to have a secure base and control the planet, To defend their land, the Gusto fight back. However…
Link
Link
Link
Link
The Inverz monsters appeared from the ground with one goal in sight. Devour all living things, both tribes retreat and unbeknownst to them this insect like demons would their demise in more ways than one. Their Tactics were, sending the weakest monsters out due to the fact that they regenerated(See Steelswam cell) and use them for energy to pulverize the enemy with tribute summoning tactics.



Chapter 4: The Dark menace lures above the continent(Yami no kyōi ga tairiku ni hirogaru.)

By themselves the 4 tribes had Little hope of winning against the Inverz because of their sheer power, The Vylon explain that millions of years ago, before their ancestor lived, they fought the inverz for the control of the planet and won. As Punishment for covering the planet in darkness, they were sealed in the bowels of the Earth and that they are guardians of the planet and were only to intervene if the Inverz resurrected(That’s why they let the former war go on). Uncertain, the 4 tribes march along with the Vylon…finally setting their differences aside, they form an alliance in the same way their ancestors did.


Chapter 5: Those who got power. (Chikara o uketa monotachi)

One of the leaders of the inverz, Longhorn pursued the 4 tribes endlessly
Link
Against his power, the Vylon used a device called “Vylon Element” Which allowed a Vylon to combine with a Living thing(The tribes then learn how to XYZ summon)
Link
The chosen ones were:
Gem-Knight Crystal
Link
With:
Vylon Prism
Link
Forming:
Gem-Knight Prismaura
Link
Laval Cannon
Link
With
Vylon Stella
Link
Forming:
Laval Stennon
Link
Gishki Noellia
Link
With
Vylon Tetra
Link
In a special ritual to form:
Link
Evigishki Tetrogre
Link
Reeze, Whirlwind of Gusto
Link
With
Vylon Sphere
Link
To form:
Daigusto Sphreez
Link
With the New Powers, Plus the Vylon’s Light the Inverz paled beneath the alliance and their new power. Even ther pure power could not stand against their new tactics but the Inverz would not go like this and had something up their sleeve or in their case, up their claw…


Chaper 5: Direct Confrontation of Light and Darkness(Hikari to yami no chokusetsu taiketsu.



The problema with the Inverz was that they grew and reproduced rapidly, not like worm zero but they had astonishing regeneration and growth capabilites
Their Lifespan was:
Steelswarm Cell -> Steelswarm Scout -> Steelswarm Genome -> Steelswarm Sentinel -> Steelswarm Caller -> Steelswarm Mantis -> Steelswarm Moth -> Steelswarm Girastag -> Steelswarm Caucastag -> Steelswarm Longhorn -> Steelswarm Hercules

Gatekeeper being support:
Link

With valor the Alliance went to repel the inverz but… they then deployed their leader…Inverz Hercules
Link
His Rage pulverized all living thing in sight, he used shock waves of great magnitude to pacify those around him and tear them to shreds. The vylon, seeing the alliance in a dire crisis had no choice and deployed their supreme commander Omega:
Link
Omega uses his special effect(Judgment of Omega) to devastate all the inverz’s troops however Hercules would not go like this and, in a clash that shook the entire planet, Hercules and Omega Kill each other. Hercule’s body is severed but not destroyed totally and The Vylon Mourn for their fallen commander. With triumph above the darkness the alliance looks forward…to the future...


Chapter 6: Those who doubt each other.(Utagau Monotachi)


After the fight with the inverz, the same conflicts came to be, Gishki wanting the valley, Laval attacking gemknights…The Vylon them form a new commander Vylon Disigma:
Link
Formed by:
Vylon Stigma
Link
Vylon Tesseract
Link
Vylon Pentacro
Link

Lamenting Omega’s death for the sake of such unstable and pathetic beings, Disigma and most Vylon are disillusioned with the fact that the tribes keep fighting and though for a moment, they reached mutual understanding they threw it away for some mere conflicts.
Perhaps it was their contact with the corrosive bodies of the Inverz(It is implied the Vylon grew insane by fighting them)or perhaps their ideals for a true utopia went too far…Disigma then gave an absolute order: “To gain the world we Wish, we will kill all life on the surface.”


Capitulo 7: Those who pass by each other. Decision and Treason. (Surechigau Monotachi. Ishi kettei to hangyaku)

Vylon once again descended into the world. The 4 tribes thought that perhaps they came to stop their fighting and for their help in the past war, they are willing to listen to them, however the vylon attacked mercilessly and destroyed armies of all the tribes. In confusion, the 4 tribes reformed the alliance and joined forces to fight their former friends the ones sho stepped up to fight were:
Lavalval Dragoon
Link
Yes, Lavals joined their eternal enemy the Gem-knights and the Gemknights put forth:
Gem-Knight Obsidian
Link
Forming:
Lavalval Ignis
Link
Lavals also joined gusto:
Laval Coatl
Link
With
Gusto Falco
Link
Forming: Daigusto Phoenix
Link
Gishki and Gusto:
Muusto priest of Gusto
Link
With
Gishki Emilia
Link
Summoning Evigishki Merrowgeist (Merrowgeist= Phantom Siren in German that’s why Emilia is used)
Link

With the new forms of the Alliance the Vylon were repelled however, astute as he was Disigma knew they would do this and used the Vylon Element on himself. By doing so, he would be able to absorb any living thing into himself and with the victims DNA on his database; he could instantly kill any victim with the same DNA Pattern. With such a powerful effect, the Alliance was on a pinch however the gemknight knew of the Vylon Element Weakness, It could only eliminate monsters with a certain DNA Pattern(Effect monsters) so the gemknights came with a plan. The other tribes would distract Disigma and they would use:
Gishki Shell fish.
Link
With
Gem-Knight Amber(Note That amber is a mineral derived from pearls)
Link
Forming:
Gem-Knight Pearl
Link
Disigma Virtually had absorbed all 3 types of DNA Water, Wind and Fire. Literally giving him victory but…Gem-Knight Pearl arrived and when Disigma tried to absorb him, it was useless. With a higher power than Disigma himself, Pearl eradicated the Vylon commander and with the other monsters the corrupt light that Vylon represented, came to an end.
Peace reigned on the planet for a while but…

Chapter 8: For Victory .(Shouri no Tameni)
Seemingly all tribes would live in peace but…
Gishki began an armed intervention against all tribes. With the Laval’s and Gusto’s Defense Weakened they took their chance. First of all they enslaved the laval and used the victims to produce new creatures to support them in battle:
Lavalval Chain
Link
Created from Gishki Chain
Link
And Any Laval monster.
With the addition of the Laval’s volcano to them, and with the new creatures the Gishki exterminated the Gusto. Fortunately Caam, Wynnda and some others survived thanks to the Gemknight’s Intution, in the last moment the Gem-Knights came and saved some gusto.

Link
To show their thanks some gusto fused with the Knights:
Link

Ready to counter the mighty Gishki who now had the volcano and the Mist Valley, The Gem-knights were thinking what to do but an event only the prophecies foreshadowed came to be From the Inverz’s bodies a virus began to surface:
Link

Which turned the victims into something fare more horrible tan the Inverz(Perhaps this was a self-defense mechanism the Inverz had, so if they would die, their race would be restored or maybe it was the the Inverz had long been exposed to the virus in the bowels of the earth and the real form of the virus was lost and instead warped their bodies to the insect like form) Either way it was tragic:

Link

This virus was the contradiction of that which the tribes gained, Mutual understanding, this was discord for those who would be infected could not even think or talk well, one Gem-knight emerald was turned into Verz HelioTrope(a mineral derived from rubies, an allusion to blood)

Link
Note that in both Japanese and english the Text is reversed, alluding the fact that just communication with other living things was hard and the Verz thought about destruction and nothing more.
Remember I told you Worm Zero’s body wasn’t destroyed? Here’s the why:
Link
Naturia Cosmobeet bécame Verz Mandrago:

The virus revived the heroic leader of the jurracs and turned him into verz Salamandra:
[url=http://forosdz.info/imgcache/184143dz.jpg]Link
Note the 50 atk. That simbolizes the infection.
With the Virus as the new enemy, the tribes now decide to fight this last battle, to win above the darkness.


Chapter 9: For Peace. (Heiwa no Tameni)

Verz Virus spread infecting both living and dead
The battle came forth and all the tribes, even the mighty Gishki came with their Back to the Wall but…then the elders remembered the legend and deduced the darkness were the Verz. They begun praying and indeed the heralds of the stars came to save them:
Link
Link

They said they were sent by the goddess “Sophia” Were these knights truly the messiahs from the stars?
Using their sacred light, they were able to repel the Verz
Link

The Gem-Knights and Gusto welcomed the Sacred. But the Gishki lost all hope in them, upon seeing this, they surrendered against the Verz and their leader, Noelia:
Link
Was corrupted but her will was strong, so she isn’t twisted entirely, however she lost her Little sanity and now wanted to rule above all by infecting them with the virus, she was reborn as Evigishki Psychelone

Link

Seeing her as a threat 2 Sacred, Castor and Pollux try to defeat her
Link
However both Fail and Castor sacrifices himself in vain, Psychelone has him reborn as Verz Castor and in a fit of madness fights his own brother.
Link
Losing all control and to show her devotion to the virus she revives all 3 dragons of the ice barrier
Brionac becomes Verz Bahamut:
Link

Gungnir becomes Verz Ophion:

Link
Trishula as Verz Ouroboros

Link

And Steelswarm Hercules as Evigishki Zealgigas:

Link

The Gishki made the same mistakes as their ancestors, the Ice Barrier using monsters they could not control, this time however instead of despair they were moved by their hunger of power.
Zealgigas, Became free of Psychelone’s control and wen on a Rampage(Look at the red symbol on his chest its glowing red unlike other Gishki) And although he did not have the same destructive power as before, he now used water to destroy his victims. Seeing the monstruosity the Gishki did, the sacred, Gemknights and Gusto swear to restore peace once and for all.

Ending: Rebirth. Part 1 : The Ultimate Darkness (Saisei. Saigo no yami)

The 3 tribes counter attack but with the might of many archetypes in their ranks they are easily beaten. And overall the might of the 4 titans, Zealgigas, Ophion, Bahamut and Ouroboros , the planet is covered in darkness. Even with the help of the Sacred...Victory seems too far…
Even the tenacious Gem-Knights are brought to their knees by the 4 titans. And even with the help of the gusto Synchro monsters they are unable to fight back. The Sacred arrive and though the situation improves, it still favors the Verz.
Not even the sacred light is enough. In fear, Caam runs away from the battlefield to the Mist Valley Shrine…


Ending :Rebirth. Part 2: The miracle of the 7 colors and the 7 chosen warriors! (Nanairo to nanaeraba senshi no Kiseki!)


Half-dead thanks to the attack form the Verz Legion the Gem-knights are brought to their knees…In the ground they give up hope…but then…in the distance they hear Caam’s prayer and then they realize what they are fighting for. The future of all, they remember that their form of battle is one that values friendship, trust and understanding. They remember all the battles they won by fighting with The Vylon, the Gishki, the Laval…although they were betrayed by them for a moment they were able to understand each other and fight for the same ideal with a united heart. They see the struggle of their comrades, the gusto are being defeated and with the will to fight…a miracle in the verge of defeat, occurs…

7 Colors will merge into the light that saved the world…Give respite to those who fell and for those who fight, may your miraculous light encourage them…Appear now Gem-knight Dia!
Link

A Beautiful rainbow appeared on the war torn battlefield and the light either Kills or purifies the Verz. Shocked and enraged by the Gem-knights’ Persistence She orders tha rampaging Zealgigas to destroy Dia, the mighty monster attacks but the sword gains power from the feelings of those who fused(In the terminal it is implied all gem-knights were fused in him so he would have at least 3600) and With their mighty sword they wound Zealgigas and Psychelone is killed in the blast. In his dying breath Zealgigas, Uses his effect to wound Dia which leaves the miraculous knight wounded.


The Sacred fight one on one with the Dragons of the ice barrier but their sheer power is enough to destroy their tactics. Set aback the Sacred give up hope…However, upon seeing the miracle of the Gem-Knights, the Sacred remember they’re the heralds of the stars, the light of hope? What good could come if the light is gone? They would fail everyone they care about, Even their mistress Sophia. And are reminded that their predecesors, the Vylon made a selfish mistake by giving up hope on all living things, they realize in a way they were about to make the same mistake by giving up hope for the future they were sent to create, not one like the Vylon wanted but a true future for all living things in the planet. With their will restored the Sacred begin to glow.

Link

Remember the power...The power of the stars that comes from the heart? Vylon Element was made in such way that it would awaken those feelings rapidly, but the Sacred come with domething similar by their will to fight for the future…and a miracle occurs. Sacred Ptolemys Messier 7.

As he was created by all the sacred he had at least 3 materials, with his Sacred Light, he sent Bahamut and Ophion back to eternal sleep however Ouroboros would not go down without a fight.
Link
In a last dirty trick Ouroboros Wounds Ptolemys with his corrosive body and leaves him with Little power left. Despite the 4 titans, and Psychelone gone it seems this is it for the Sacred and Gem-Knights…


Ending: Rebirth Part 3: A new Genesis.( Saisei. Shin sōsei-ki)

With Little power left, Dia and Ptolemys are surrounded by the remaining Verz. And appear to be done for.

Caam, who had prayed from her heart, plus the negative and positive energy impacting the planet…made the Mist Valley Shrine Shake and summoned the creator of the world, the goddess Sophia. (Note that to summon her you have to tribute 1 fusion, 1 synchro, XYZ, Ritual she was summoned by the energies of:
-Ritual: Evigishki Zealgigas/Evigishki Psychelone
-Fusion: Gem-Knight Dia
-XYZ: Sacred Ptolemys Messier 7/ Verz Ouroboros
-Synchro: Gusto Synchro Monsters.)

Link

Greeted by a beaten Dia and a Wounded Ptolemy, Sofia eradicates the Verz and thanks both for their effort. Ptolemys thanks her for the compliment Dia is also congratulated for his effort. He is thankful for the help of the Sacred and is glad everything is over. In compassion for both monsters, Sophia returns them to their original form. Disgracefully, the world was been destroyed by the virus and it’s almost inhabitable. To make sure Dia’s and Ptolemy’s efforts are worth, she decides to reset the world as it once was, by doing so many victims of the war are revived, Sofia then recreates the world from Zero and hopes someday the tribes will achieve the understanding that The Sacred, Gem-knights and Gusto once had…
