AN Major Update 4/14 Name Changed from Kazuma Trafalgar to Ryoken Shouji
Chapter 1: A Whole New World... Let's Destroy it!
I groaned as I felt a sense of Consciousness return, I opened my eyes and found myself floating in a massive abyss.
"What happened how did I get….Oh yeah" I question before remembering I had been hit by a car.
"I guess I died from the impact." I mutter with a blush who gets hit by a car when they're sitting on the second story of a mall in the food court.
I looked around the area to see where I was all I saw was, "Darkness, Darkness, Darkness." I mutter I tap my foot down but only hit air so I wasn't standing on something I was floating so I wasn't standing on a pillar or anything, "I hope something happens because floating here forever would be boring." I mutter to myself, Suddenly a loud roar echoes through the Void making have to cover my ears as I wince in pain.
"What the Fudge Monkey Nuts was that?" I question to myself as a form glows closer to me, I slowly put up a guard as It got closer I realized it was actually a large creature flanked by 4 smaller but still bigger than me creatures as they came into view I recognized them making my eyes widen even if they were still shadowed by the darkness of the void.
"Odd-Eyed, Dark Rebellion, Clear Wing, Starve Venom." I mutter in shock seeing the Dimensional Dragons from one of my favorite children's card game show. "If those are the Dimensional Dragons then is that…" I trail off looking at the massive dragon behind the others, I thought that it was Zarc since the four dimensional dragons were here but my gut told me it was something else.
I let out a small chuckle of amusement, "Well even if they are fictitious Its nice to have some form of company." I mutter to myself as the four dragons roar to the heavens, "What's going on?" I question as the massive dragon in the shadows gives off a massive earth shattering roar before a small portal opens beneath me that looked like the Pendulum Summoning portal.
"Wait what's go.." Is all I got out before I hissed in pain I felt a power burn in my eyes before I felt gravity take hold of me and I fell through, the portal, "Kyaa." I ahem did not shriek out as I fell into the portal blacking out.
-ARCV-
I woke up feeling a slight headache as I looked around rubbing my forehead, "Is it just me or does everyone seem animated." I mutter before looking down, "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CLOTHS?!" I yell out in shock to see my outfit had completely changed I now had on a dark gray button up shirt with its collar flipped up and a pair of white shorts with a pair of red loops hanging off the sides and a pair of white suspenders attached to them, over that I now had on a unzipped black jacket with red coloring on the shoulders on collar and a silver trim over that, I had on a pair of brown boots and some red knee length socks on my left hand was a single brown fingerless glove and upon my head was a Hat.
"Huh this new outfit seems to be a fusion of Noa Hoshizaki and Zarc's with some minor adjustments and color changes." I think grabbing a strand of my hair to see its now purple with a white streak, looking over myself and noticing the device on my left arm.
"A Duel Disk huh well I guess I somehow magically ended up in the Arc-V universe, although the Giant Dragon Thingy might of been a hint." I mutter to myself as I experimentally wave my arm holding the Original Dimension Duel Disk, I walked over to a nearby Elderly Man, "Excuse me can you help me?" I ask him.
"Certainly sir." He says in clear english causing me to pale in horror.
'Oh G.O.D. please tell me i just hear English like some sort of Tardis translation thing and I'm not in the dub, I mentally shook my head, "Could you tell me where You Show Duel School is." I ask figuring that the best first course of action would possible to get a foothold with Yuya as going right to Reiji would possibly cause more trouble than help.
"Are you interested in Pendulum Summoning as well?" He asks me.
"Pendulum?" I ask figuring I was at an early point of the Timeline.
The Old man nods slightly, "The Method used by Yuya Sakaki to defeat the champion Strong Ishijima everyone has been talking about it." he explains to me.
I snap my fingers, "Oh That yeah I heard about it." I fake explain.
"It has become quite the talk of the wown, if you go down this way and turn after a few blocks you'll see it." he says pointing in a direction.
I nod, "Thank You." I say walking off with a slight bow heading towards what I hope is the right direction to the School.
-ArcV-
"Wooow, this place looked packed." I comment with a whistle at the long line of people standing in front of the school building that looked like an architect's nightmare.
"Wow!" I hear a voice behind me, I turn to see Futoshi and Ayu from You Show's Chibi Trio behind me.
"All these people want to attend our school?" Ayu questions in shock.
"If you want to attend this school, please fill in your name on this document." I hear the voice of Yuzu Hiragi call out from the front.
"Okay", "I'll attend!", "Me too!" Several voices call in response to Yuzu.
There's a bit of a lull in the conversation I figure Yuzu is privately talking to Ayu and Futoshi.
"You'll show us Pendulum Summoning today, right?" A person from the que asks.
"Of course we will, but only applicants are allowed to see it." Yuzu responds.
"Sneaky." I mutter with a grin.
"I'll attend!" "Me too!", "Hurry up!" a chorus of voices call out.
"Please get in line in number order!" Yuzu says trying to calm the eager crowd, "Sheesh, I'm going to be the opponent in the mock battle, but I don't have time to get ready." she complains under her breath.
"Then there is no choice." A deep male voice responds as I hear a door open, "The man Gongenzaka will replace you as the opponent." Noboru "Gon-Chan" Gongenzaka tells Yuzu.
"What?" Futoshi groans out.
"This is the Principal's daughter's responsibility!" Ayu tells Gongenzaka.
"It'll be embarrassing to get help from a rival school, outsiders should go away!" Futoshi comment.
"Wow, harsh" I comment under my breath
"Did you say something?" The Person beside me comments.
"Uh Uhh." I say with a shake of my head.
"Outsider?" Gongenzaka says in shock.
"We'll handle things here so that you can prepare for your duel." Ayu tells Yuzu.
"Thank you, I leave it to you!" Yuzu replies as she starts to run off before stopping spotting someone at the front of the crowd , "You were here before, you came again?" She says to the blue haired boy at the front… frack I couldn't remember his name oh well I'm sure I would hear it soon.
-ArcV-
I found myself standing against the wall with everyone else in the crowd as Shuzo Hiragi stood on a bench in front of us speaking into a Microphone.
"You Show School teaches entertainment dueling popularized worldwide by the legendary dueling star Yusho Sakaki, when I think back a decade ago when Leo Corporation developed.." Shuzo says giving a history lesson on the school before trailing off into a rant.
"How long is he gonna talk?" A guy in the crowd comments to the person beside him.
"I want to see Pendulum Summon now?" he responds.
"Ladies and gentleman!" The loud voice of Yuya Sakaki yells out as a spotlight shines down on him, "Welcome to my one-man show today!" he tells the audience.
There's a loud smack as Yuya hunches over in pain Yuzu standing behind him holding her Paper Fan, "What do you mean by one-man show, you can't duel alone!" Yuzu questions Yuya with a slight growl.
"Who's that girl?" The lady standing next to my comments.
"She hit Yuya, how horrible!" The person standing next to her states.
"Leave!" They both yell to Yuzu
I rubbed my forehead slightly, ughh I couldn't wait for everyone to just leave when they learned about Pendulum Cards as everyone began to yell at Yuzu.
"I see, so that's my role?" Yuzu grumbles under her breath as her body shakes in annoyance, "Fine, I'll take on the role of the villain!" she yells out snapping slightly before pointing at Yuya, "Yuya, just because you've gained some fame doesn't mean you can laugh like an idiot, I'm going to pummel you into pieces!" she declares getting into her role.
"Huh." Yuya says dumbly blinking in shock.
"C'mon Yuya say something back!" Yuzu stage whispers to Yuya.
Yuya seems stuck before inspiration hits him, "Woah, You're Female Strong Ishijima!" He yells out in shock pointing at Yuzu.
I snorted at the dramatic way Yuya said that
"Female Strong?" Yuzu blurts out in shock I could almost see her picturing herself in Strong's cloths with his hair style.
"You're trying to get revenge for your master?" Yuya asks Yuzu as I saw the scary aura pissed off female anime characters obtain.
"Huh so it does exist." I comment mostly to myself.
"I'll strike back using Pendulum Summon!" says an oblivious Yuya as he smiles putting his hands on his hips.
Yuzu yells angrily at Yuya for a few moments before she thrusts her hand up into the air, "The Field Spell Plain Plain activates!" she declares as the Solid Vision System activates transforming the duel room into well… a grassy plain.
"How refreshing, the new Solid Vision model is so realistic, I feel a cool breeze blowing through my heart." Shuzo comments pressing forward to see the new field pusing a few people up against the glass.
Yuya and Yuzu activate their Duel Disks on the field, "The duelists meet at the battlefield!" Yuya says starting the Action Duel oath.
"Along with their monsters, they'll kick the ground and fly through the sky…" Yuzu continues on.
"To move around the field!"
"Witness duelings greatest evolution!"
"Action!"
"DUEL!" Yuya and Yuzu call out as the Action Cards dispurs around the field. (Yuya: 4000) (Yuzu: 4000)
"I'll go first!" Yuya says holding up a card, "I summon Performapal Hip Hippo from my hand!" he says slapping the card onto the Solid Vision blade as a pink hippo in a tux with a top hat appears on his side of the field. (Performapal Hip Hippo, Level 3, 800 ATK)
"The hoppo appeared, Yuya's strategy is to ride it and search for Action Cards, Go!" Someone people from the peanut gallery comments.
I couldn't help the small snort that escaped my mouth at the comment I guess my mind was more lewd that I thought.
"Okay, you all know what's going on, I end my turn!" Yuya says hopping onto Hippo's back as they took of running.
"I won't allow that, My turn, I draw!" Yuzu replies drawing her card, "I summon Aria the Melodious Diva!" She declares summoning her monster. (Aria the Melodious Diva, Level 4, 1600 ATK) "Battle, Aria attack Performapal Hip Hippo!" she orders her monster as it produces a loud singing voice sending a sharp spear of wind at Hip Hippo. "Sharpness Voice!"
"I use the Action Spell Evasion!" Yuya says grabbing the card from the nearby bush he ran past, "Rolling Hippo!" he calls out as Hip Hippo dodges using a barrel roll getting cheers from the crowd.
"We'll see about that, Aria the Melodious Diva's effect activates! Yuzu responds, "When it fails to deal battle damage, you take 800 points of damage!" she explains "Resonate Wave!"
Yuya yells out as the shock wave from the attack sends him and hippo flying. (Yuya: 4000 - 3200)
"Mwahahaha, you can't escape Strong Yuzu!" Yuzu says pointing at Yuya while laughing maniacally. "I end my turn!" she finishes.
"I guess she really gets into her roles." I say with an amused smirk on my face.
"Ouch!" Yuya groans sitting his slightly rubbing his lower back side.
"Don't just sit there, I'm acting like a villain, so defeat me by doing something cool!" Yuzu tells Yuya hinting at him to use Pendulum.
"Pendulum, Pendulum, Pendulum!" Everyone begins to chant out.
"See, everyone's looking forward to it!" Yuzu tells Yuya.
"All right, leave it to me!" Yuya says flipping up onto his feet, "The fun is only getting started!" he yelled out pointing up dramatically with Hippo mirroring his pose.
"When I said do something cool, I didn't mean striking a cool pose." Yuzu deadpans.
"My turn, I draw!" Yuya states drawing his card, I saw his eye shine happily guess he drew his Pendulum card.
"I set the Pendulum Scale with the Scale 4 Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and the Scale 8 Timegazer Magician!" Yuya declares holding up two cards and placing them on the edge of the blade as PENDULUM wrote out across it and behind him in two pillars of light Odd-Eyes and Timegazer rose up. (Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: PS:4) (Timegazer Magician: PS:8)
"All right, Come Pendulum!" Shuzo yells out eagerly.
"Poor Yuya." I say feeling sorry for the guy knowing he messed up the scale as was going to fail big time letting everyone down but revealing they didn't truly want to learn about Entertainment Dueling only caring about the new cards showing their greedy side.
"Pendulum!" The crowd chants over and over.
"Here comes Pendulum Summoning, Come out my monsters!" Yuya calls out, a Bzzzt is heard as nothing happens Yuya stands there in shock as a gust of wind blows past him.
I play Wah Waaah on a Trombone I somehow now had in my hands getting some Wtf looks from the older crowd and giggles of amusement from the children, soon people begin muttering wondering what happened.
"Hey, what's going on Sword Fish, Whip Snake?" Yuya asks his Monsters confused and in panic as to why they aren't appearing. "Come out like last time!" he pleads trying again and again to place the cards getting a buzzing error in response, "I placed the Pendulum Cards, so why is there an error?" he questions.
"Pendulum Cards?" Someone questions.
"What are those?" another questions.
I glare at the two slightly, "Cards that are obviously connected to Pendulum Summoning if they're called Pendulum Cards Duhh." I say as if sarcastically explaining to a slow five year old.
I see Yuya frowning trying to remember what to do before realization sparks in his eyes as he had an idea but If I remember this episode right it was the wrong one..
"I end my turn, Yuzu attack me!" Yuya says confidently.
"Attack?" Yuzu stammers in shock.
"Yeah, don't hold back!" Yuya says nodding.
"Since Yuya says so, do it, Attack with flair!" Shuzo tells his daughter.
"Okay." Yuzu says confused but going with it, "My turn, I draw!" she says drawing her card, "I can Special Summon this card when a Melodious Diva is on the field!" she says holding up a card in her hand, "I Special Summon Sonata the Melodious Diva!" she announces as her second monster appears on the field. (Sonata the Melodious Diva, Level 3, 1200 ATK)
"I tribute Aria the Melodious Diva and Sonata the Melodious Diva!" Yuzu declares releasing her Monsters, "I tribute Summon Mozarta the Melodious Maestra!" she declares summoning her ace monster. (Mozarta the Melodious Maestra, Level 8, 2600 ATK)
"Mozarta the Melodious Maestra's effect activates, Once per turn, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or below Melodious Diva from me hand!" Yuzu declares as Mozarta shoots a beam of light from her hand, "I Special Summon another Aria the Melodious Diva!" she states as a second Aria appears on her field. (Aria the Melodious Diva, Level 4, 1600 ATK)
"First, I'll get rid of that hippo, Aria attack Performapal Hip Hippo!" Yuzu orders her Monster, Hippo yells out as it's destroyed. (Yuya: 3200 -2400)
"Now Come!" Yuya tells Yuzu.
"Now, Now come come Pendulum!" Shuzo chants out clapping.
"Pendulum!" The chant once again starts up.
"Don't hold back, Yuzu!" Yuya declares eagerly.
"Here I go, Take this, Mozarta attacks Yuya directly!" Yuzu declares as Mozarta materializes a conductor's baton in her hand, A small chord plays on the keys in her wings, "Graceful Wave!"
"Okay, I'm now in a pinch!" Yuya says happily still thinking his theory is correct theory on why his pendulum failed was right, "I Pendulum Summon!" he declares slapping the cards onto his Duel Disk, his old friend Error returns to great him.
Yuya freezes in shock before Mozarta's attack hits sending him flying causing him to hit the roof and fall down crashing into a bush. (Yuya:2400 - 0) (Yuzu: WIN!)
"Owch." I say with a wince, rubbing my chest feeling slight phantom pains from the earlier car crash, you'd think being hit by something like that I would be unable to move for a while guess traveling the void heals you.
Everyone is Silent as the Solid Vision System turns off returning the room Yuya and Yuzu are in to normal, soon everyone begins to talk amongst themselves.
"Ouch.." Yuya hisses out rubbing the back of his head, those Tangible Holograms really have a kick it seems.
"What's the big idea?" Yuzu questions.
"Wait a second, umm…" Yuya stammers out flailing his hands.
Soon Yuya and Yuzu walk out of the Duel Area, Yuya looking slightly downcast.
"Umm, I have a question." Someone says holding up their hand.
"Yes, what is it?" Yuya asks.
"You said something about a Pendulum Card." He comments.
"Pendulum Card?" Yuzu questions looking at Zarc's Tomato.
"That's what I call it, I don't know the official name." Yuya explains.
"Show me." Yuzu orders him.
"Okay." Yuya says taking out his Deck and handing it to Yuzu who pulls out her own deck and looks at them side by side, "This is a Pendulum Card?" she questions looking at Timegazer Magician.
"You can't Pendulum Summon if you don't have this card?" A Member of the crowd comments.
"That's not fair, or maybe there's no such thing as Pendulum Summoning!" another comments.
I could feel the anger and jealousy slowly seeping from the crowd.
"That's right, I bet you tricked the system during the Ishijima match, how else could you summon many monsters at once" a third voice comments.
I gave a small inaudible snort and rolled my eyes, did Yuya really seem smart enough to hack a Corporation like LDS and get away undetected he wasn't Phantom… I paused slightly looking at Yuya or was he It was possible that the Manga and Anime could possible be merged as one.
"He wanted to beat the champion that badly?" A girl comments in disgust.
"That's why he's the son of a coward." another female responds.
I clenched my fist in anger.
"No, I didn't cheat!" Yuya protests as the crowd begins to walk out.
"Wait!" Shuzo yells out desperately jumping out in front of the crowd only to get stampeded over by the mob of angry humans.
I watched them leave with a glare on my face, Typical Human action if something unknown is revealed they immediately want it not caring who or what they might hurt in the process of getting it, I stewed in my own loathing for a bit before I let out a wide grin looking over at Yuya, Yes I decided I would help my favorite Duelist in Arc V while I was in this world even if they didn't know I would be, look out world the Supreme King Dragon has a new Vassal. I thought with an almost sinister grin.
Yuya pulls down his Goggles to hide his eyes, I hear silent sniffs coming from him as he starts to walk off.
"Poor kid." I say feeling sympathetic
"Yuya…" Yuzu says in worry for her friend.
"Yuya isn't a coward, Yuya didn't cheat! Tatsuya, I mentally snap my fingers as I remember his name.
"He's right you just made a misplay it can happen to any duelist." I say in input.
"Yuya fought Ishijima fair and square and won, he won using Pendulum Summon!" Tatsuya yells out.
Gongenzaka walks up behind Tatsuya and rests his hand on the boy's shoulders smiling at him, "Yuya, don't you feel bad that these two fans have to say this?" he questions his friend.
"Fans?" Yuya questions in shock.
I shrugged a bit, "I'm not sure I'd call myself your fan as I already have a duelist I admire but sure I'd be willing to say I like your dueling." I say with a shrug.
"Yes, That's Tatsuya he visited before." Yuzu says pointing to Tatsuya, "and this is Umm…" she says pointing at me trailing off realing she didn't know my name.
I frowned a bit internally do I use my old name or do I develop a new name for this new world after several seconds of pondering I decided on a new name fashioned from the names of my favorite Yugioh Rival and Vanguard lets say villain since he does host him, "Ryoken" I say with a smile, "Shouji Ryoken."
"Tatsuya became your fan after he saw you battle Ishijima in person!" Ayu tells Yuya.
"That gives me shivers!" Futoshi says shaking slightly, ahh yes that kids weird catch phrase.
"I thought you were incredible, your dueling united thousands of spectators into one!" Tatsuya tells Yuya.
I nod in agreement, "You did great in that match, it was excellent." I say slightly lying through my teeth slightly as I saw the episode on tv back in my original world and not… would it be in person since I was in the Arc-Verse now.
Yuya gasps in shock.
"I wanted to duel like that, Duel like Yuya!" Tatsuya tells Yuya.
"I also want to duel in front of a large crowd again!" Yuya says his shoulders shaking slightly.
I walked up to him and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, "And you will." I tell him confidently.
"How do you know?" Yuya asks me
I smiled at him, "Faith." I replied simply while my inner voice said 'Spoilers'
"You were reborn in that duel, you'll never run away again!" Gongenzaka tells his friend confidently.
"Gongenzaka, Shouji" Yuya says.
I let out a chuckle, "Just call me Ryoken." I tell Yuya with a smile.
Yuya nods, "Ryoken."
"So do your best for your fans!" Gongenzaka tells Yuya giving him a smile.
"Were your fans too." Futoshi says running up beside Tatsuya.
"Now and forever right, Tatsuya?" Ayu says running up to Tatsuya's other side.
"Yeah!" Tatsuya says nodding.
"That means You Show School has two new members!" Futoshi says cheering.
"What do you mean Two?" I question
"Ehh, I just thought since you were Yuya's fan that you would join." Futoshi comments in a slightly disappointed tone.
"I just said I liked his dueling I don't really enjoy it enough to learn it." I say turning my back to him, I make eye contact with Yuzu and wink at her subtly saying its an act.
"Please." Ayu says holding my sleeve giving me a puppy dog look.
I looked down at her, 'crap that's strong' I think almost submitting instantly, "I'll have to think about it." I tell her taking a second long pause, "Okay I've thought about it I'll join but I have some stipulations." I tell them finding myself unable to disappoint the Loli giving me the Puppy Dog Eyes.
Suddenly Shuzo appears in front of my holding a paper and a pen as If he teleported.
"Really you'll join!" He says eagerly before getting smacked by the Paper Fan.
"Jeez Dad, you should hear what his conditions are first." Yuzu scolds her father.
"Hooray we have two new people joining I'm fire up, I'm burning up!" Shuzo cheers out.
"An entertainer can't let his fans down" Yuya says smiling removing his goggles he and Yuzu look at each other for a bit, Yuzu smiles that her friend is now feeling better and hands him back his deck.
"I promise to master Pendulum Summoning!" Yuya declares, "Yuzu, Gongenzaka, Ryoken, Duel me!" he requests of us.
"Right." Yuzu and Gongenzaka say.
I smile, "You two go ahead, I'm gonna talk to Burning Guy here about my conditions." I say jerking my thumb at Shuzo.
"All right." Yuya says with a nod while I turn to Shuzo and lay out my conditions that would hopefully allow me to find a place of room and board while I was in Maiami, it seems like this adventure would be a fun one.
-Arc V-
