Kenji's body developed a grey aura and Tammi stepped back in fear. With Shun's eyes glowing and Kenji's body engulfed in aura, things seemed like they were going to go down hill and two were going to completely tear each other apart.

*****
Kenji's eyes glowed and things went bad. The realm began to from an earthquake. Tammi seemed to be the only one who felt since Kenji and Shun didn't move an inch. The twins stared each other down and Tammi felt so much energy radiating off of them. Kenji's eyes glowed in a blue and was covered in a grey aura while Shun's eyes glowed in a green light and was covered in a red aura.
Kenji's Thunder Yang, Inferno Yin, and Meteor Yuan Dragons roared violently while Shun's Sky Griffin screeched back. The realm seemed to turn into chaos as the dragons faced a beast nature. Tammi wasn't sure if she was going to get out alive.

"I just don't get you Shun. Why do you hate me so much?!?!?"-Kenji
"You know damn well why!!!!!! You stood there and watched the car tipped over. I was terrified. I was on the brink of dying. My whole life flashed before my eyes. I was so convinced that I was going to die. That is.....until he found me...."-Shun
*****
Shun closed his eyes as the car fell off the cliff. He couldn't believe that Kenji just watched him fall to his death. Shun felt like it was the ultimate betrayal.
The car collided into the ground. Shun accepted his death. His body was crushed in the wreckage. He felt his life fade away.
Shun thought he was dead until he felt his body being carried. His vision was blurry, but he felt his aching body heal. The man carrying him sent him down in the grass. Shun couldn't see the man's face.
"Y-you....saved me..." Shun managed to say. He noticed that the man had a black coat and a gold and violet mask on. "Who....are...you?"
"Diron."
Shun noticed that his body was fully healed. His pain was gone and his vision returned to normal. He was able to see Diron clearly. "I'm alive, but how?"
"I was able to heal your wounds."
Shun stood to his feet. He was grateful that Diron managed to save him before he lost everything. "I can't believe it!! I'm not dead!!" Shun couldn't contain his gratitude. "Diron, I am in your debt."
Diron smiled. "I sensed your desire to stay alive. Your heart guided me here." He placed his hand on Shun's shoulder. "You have potential. You have ancient blood inside of you."
"Potential? Ancient blood? What are you-"
"You have what it takes to become a member of the Legion."
Shun didn't quite get what Diron meant. "What do you mean?"
"Shun, will you join me? I can sense a strong desire growing inside of your body. A desire known as revenge."
"You know what? You're right." Shun remembered everything about how the car accident transpired. He couldn't believe that Kenji didn't even try to attempt to save him. He felt like Kenji just gave up on him. "My own twin brother allowed me to fall to my death. He doesn't care about me anymore. No one in that family ever did. I'm just some big disgrace, but that's okay. I'm out of their lives now."
"I can help you get your revenge. Just join me and you'll have all the power you need."
Shun hesitated. He wanted to accept Diron's offer. "I said I was in your debt and I always keep my promises." Shun shook Diron's hand. "I'm in."
*****
"Diron saved my life. He gave me a chance to live again. Thanks to him, I can finally get my revenge! You never cared about me. Not you, Tammi and especially not mom and dad!!"-Shun
"Your wrong."-Kenji
"Mom and dad loved you just as much as us!"-Tammi
"They treated you two like heirs to a throne. They gave you two everything and me nothing!! I'm glad they're dead and I'll be delighted once you two are dead too!!"-Shun
"You don't mean that."-Kenji
"I do. I want you two dead."-Shun
"Shun that's crazy!!! Kenji loves you!! I love you!! You're our brother!!! You're family!!"-Tammi
"My only family........is the Legion and you two need to realize that. The Shun you're trying to save is gone. I'm a new person!!! I am the Legion Lord of Wind!!!"-Shun
*****
Shun's deck glowed in a white light and his eyes glowed brighter than Kenji's. The earthquake got worse and the storms around the palace grew harsher as Shun drew his card. "Kenji, this duel is coming to an end. I can finally show the world my abilities and my strength!!! With this, I can put an end to the Itaru name!!!" Shun raised card in the air called Different Dimension Bonding-Legion Force and it shined brighter than his deck.
"I can meld my banished Ventus Storm Dragon and Stratogale Wyvern into one to reach a new level!!! Kenji meet your maker!!!" Ghost versions of Ventus Storm Dragon and Stratogale Wyvern appeared onto the field and melted into a pool of energy. A tornado descended on top of the pool and a green light shined.
Tammi trembled in fear and Kenji watched carefully as a silhouette of a twin headed dragon rose from the pool of energy that was inside the tornado. The dragon roared causing the tornado to disappear and it fully revealed itself. Shun's new monster was a green dragon with two heads, large white wings, and nine large white tails. Shun finally achieved his goal.

"Achieve the goal I've been working so hard on accomplishing? It's simple. I just needed to defeat the god that once ruled this realm. Diron made this possible!! With Drayver, I can finally have my revenge!! So brace yourself Kenji!! Drayver's coming at full force!!"-Shun

*****
Kenji was blow away from the force of Drayver's attack. He was caught off and his Ancient Tao Dragon suffered from it. Kenji's body also took some major damage. When he hit the ground, his eyes stopped glowing and his aura disappeared.
"Kenji!!!!" Tammi rushed to Kenji and Shun laughed.
"Hahahaha!!! Look at you Kenji!! You're too weak to carry on!! There's no way that you could continue to stand up after that!!" Shun taunted. He finally felt like he was in control of himself, his abilities, and skills. Things were going his way.
Kenji looked up at Shun. His brother was right. Kenji could barely move. But Shun was also wrong. Kenji wasn't going to give up.
"Come on Kenji. Get up." Tammi tried to help Kenji stand but he refused. He had to help Shun realize how much he and Tammi still loved him and the only way for him to that was to fight on his own to prove to Shun just how determined he was to save him. Kenji promised himself that he would save his brother.
Kenji began to stand on his own. Shun looked a little suprised.

"There is no hope for me."-Kenji
"Kenji don't say that!!"-Tammi
"Tammi just be quiet will you. When Shun said earlier that you were suppose to be a peace keeper, don't think that you'll stop us from fighting. This has fight has to carry on and this duel has gone on long enough, Shun. I end my turn."-Kenji
(Ancient Tao:4700 atk/4600 atk) (Drayver:3750 atk/4000 atk)

"Yes there was!! You had every opportunity to at least try!!"-Shun
"Shun hear me out on this one."-Kenji
*****
Kenji, Shun, and Tammi were on their way to drop Tammi off at a concert. It was a pleasant drive. Everything was going smoothly until the car in front of them pushed its break too fast.
Kenji tried to avoid crashing by turning the car to a sharp right, but he accidently pushed the breaks. The car lost control and slided to the left.
"Jump out!!!" Kenji and Tammi quickly unfastened their seatbelts and shot out of the car as it spun out of control.
Everything had happened so fast. Kenji couldn't focus on a single thing until he found a clear shot of the car balanced on the edge of a nearby cliff. He saw Shun trying to open one of the doors.
"Kenji!!! Help me!!!" Shun screamed.
"I'm coming!!!" Kenji began to run to Shun's aid, but he then heard Tammi's voice. He turned and to see Tammi in the middle of the road. A truck was coming around the corner and Tammi's leg appeared to be injured.
Kenji didn't have any time to think. He could save Tammi and lose Shun or help Shun and lose Tammi. His instincts took over and he leaped forward to push Tammi out of the incoming truck's way with hopes that Shun would still be in the car safely balanced on the cliff.
"You okay?" Kenji asked Tammi.
"I'm fine."
Kenji then quickly turned to help Shun, but it was too late. The car fell off the cliff with Shun inside.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! SHUN!!!!!!"
*****
"You see Shun? I couldn't just save both of you. I had to pick you or Tammi and I picked Tammi with the hope that you would have still been on the cliff. I couldn't just let Tammi get hit by a truck!!! I'm sorry!!! I wanted to save you both, but I couldn't!! I'm sorry!!!"-Kenji
"Shun he's telling the truth!!"-Tammi
"I didn't want our family to come to this!! After mom and dad died, things just got more complicated! I hope you understand now Shun. Please. Please tell me you do."-Kenji
"I..............I draw."-Shun
*****
Shun hesitated a little. Now that he knew Kenji's side of the story, he began to feel a little bad. He felt a little remorse, but his mind was still set on winning. Victory was the only thing he wanted at that moment. He drew his card, looked at it, and prepare to activate it.
"I activate-"
"I activate Chaos Storm Dragon's effect from my hand!!!!" Kenji shouted as he held a card with the artwork of a grey dragon with green wings. Shun's eyes widened. He was shocked to see that card.
"Chaos Storm Dragon?!?" His red aura vanished and his eyes stopped glowing. The chaos around them froze. "You....you still have that card?!" Shun had a flashback to where him and Kenii were younger.
*****
Ten year old Kenji and Shun stood at their ends of the duel field. They both activated their duel gear and drew their cards.
"Okay Shun! Whoever wins, gets to put the Chaos Storm Dragon card dad gave us in their deck. Deal?" Kenji said.
"Sounds good with me bro!"
"Duel!!"
The duel ended with Shun as the winner. "I won!! I won!!"
"Here you go. A deal's a deal." Kenji was bummed that he didn't win, but holded Shun the card with great sportsmanship. "Lucky."
*****
Kenji smiled. He felt like he was finally getting through to Shun. "Of course I still have it. It's a special card to me and you."
Shun remembered another duel.
*****
Fourteen year old Kenji and Shun were in the middle of the rematch of the duel they had four years ago. Shun just ended his turn with Ventus Storm Dragon on his field while Kenji just entered his Standby Phase with both Thunder Yang Dragon and Inferno Yin Dragon on his field.

[DUEL END]
Shun sighed. He was completely caught off guard with Kenji strategy. "I guess the card is yours now."
Kenji accepted the 'Chaos Storm Dragon' card. "Hey Shun, let's make a deal."
"Okay what is it?"
"How about every four years, we have a duel to see who gets to own this card. Sounds good?"
"Yeah!! You're on!!"
*****
"I won this card four years ago. Remember?"-Kenji
"Y-yeah.....so this is the duel we were suppose to have. I totally forgot all about that deal. I can't believe you remembered."-Shun
"This is will be the first time that this card would be used in an actual duel."-Kenji
"That's right...I still remember its effect."-Shun
"At the start of your opponent's Standby Phase, you can discard this card and select two face-up monsters on the field."-Kenji, Shun
"Double the attack points of one selected monster."-Kenji
"And reduce the other selected monster's attack points to 0."-Shun
{Wait a minute...}-Tammi
"The opponent has no other choice but to attack during the Battle Phase of this card's activation."-Kenji
{Kenji.....don't}-Tammi
"So my choice is made. I'm doubling Drayver and reducing Ancient Tao."-Kenji
(Drayver:4000 atk/8000 atk) (Ancient Tao:4600 atk/0 atk)
"Kenji no!!!"-Tammi
"What? Kenji why?!? Why did you do that?!?!?!"-Shun
"To prove that I'll still love my younger twin brother no matter what. Even if he is a bit crazy."-Kenji
"Idiot!!! Don't you get that if you lose a duel here, you lose your life!!!!"-Shun
"I do now and you know what? It's worth it. I managed to get my brother back and that's all that matters."-Kenji
"Kenji no!!!! Don't do this!!"-Tammi
"You're crazy!!!"-Shun
"I may be. Well.......this is it............Drayver attack...Ozone Twin Burst."-Kenji
Drayver attacks and destroys Ancient Tao.
"KENJI!!!!"-Shun, Tammi
(Kenji:1975/0) Shun wins.
[DUEL END]
Kenji stood on one knee as he took the final blow from Drayver. Shun and Tammi rushed to his aid.
"Kenji!!! Why? Why would you do that?!?" Shun cried as he held his brother in his arms.
Tammi cried by their side. She couldn't believe Kenji gave up the duel on purpose. It was so out of character for him. She understood that he did it for Shun, but she just wanted to hurt Kenji for doing something so crazy. "You didn't have to do that you idiot!!!!"
Kenji smiled and hugged his siblings. They were finally a family again. This was Kenji's ultimate goal. "I love you guys." He felt his body slowly fade away. "I'm going to miss you." Kenji met Shun's eyes. "Take care of Tammi okay."
Shun refused. He didn't want Kenji to die. He hugged his brother tighter and his eyes began to glow. "I'm the one here the gift of nature meaning I can heal others, so no Kenji." Shun hoped he knew what he was doing would work and began to give any power he had inside him to Kenji. "You'll take care of Tammi."
Kenji felt his body returned to normal as he noticed that his body was flowing with energy. He looked at his brother. "What did you do?"
Shun smiled. "I'm not letting you die on my watch. You two deserve to live on. I don't have a purpose anymore." His body began to fade into the wind. "I gave you enough of my power to live. It's yours to keep now."
Kenji hugged his brother tighter. "Don't go!! We just got you back!!"
Tammi cried even more. "We need you Shun!!"
Shun accepted his sibling's love as he faded away for good. "I love you guys."
Kenji and Tammi sobbed and mourned. They're brother was officially dead and there was nothing they could've done about it. "Shun!! Come back!!!!"
