by tigerkim1027

The Maiami Championship has finally arrived! In this heated tournament, our heroes will duel many powerful duelists and overcome many challenges to reach the top and determine the best duelist of Maiami City. But during the tournament, an enemy from Shadow's past comes back to haunt him as 3 duelists work for him. Can our heroes make it through the Championship?

1. Chapter 1

Here it is! The next arc of my Yugioh Arc-V series. Remember that I don't own Yugioh or any of the characters, they all belong to Konami and Kazuki Takahashi. The OC characters belong to their respective owners: Shadow(ghost83), Azure(SignerStardust), and Alex(A5L). So without further ado, hope you guys enjoy.

Chapter 1:

As the day for the championship arrived, almost 150 duelists were packed in a crowd waiting for the Championship to start. Yuya and co. were in the crowd along with Selena wearing new clothes instead of her Academia outfit. "Alright guys, this is it. The moment we've been waiting for." Yuya started.

"Yeah. The championship finally starts." Shadow said.

"Let's hope to make it to the finals in three days." Alex said.

"I, the man Gongenzaka, will fight with my best and see you in the finals." Gong said.

"I wish the best of luck to all of you." Yuzu said.

"Ready? 3, 2, 1! It's showtime!"

"Thank you all for waiting patiently, we will now start the tournament in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Action Field ON! Field Spell! Wonder Quartet ACTIVATE!" The computer said as the Solid Vision activated and setted up the field.

"Are all of you duelists ready!? "Duelist locked in battle! Kicking against the earth dancing in the air alongside their monsters! They storm through this field! Behold! This is newest and greatest evolution of dueling!"

"ACTION-"

"DUEL!" Everyone finished as the tournament began and everyone ran in different directions to find an opponent.

"Best of luck everyone. Go get em." Yuya said.

"Right!" The gang said as Shadow and Selena went to the Forest Area, Alex went to the Lava Area, and finally Gong went to the Ice Field Area. Yuzu decided to stick with Yuya.

"Alright then. Who should we duel first?" Yuzu asked.

"No idea, but I'll let fate decide my opponent." Yuya replied.

"Hey! Yuya Sakaki! I challenge you to a duel!" a random duelist shouted.

"Hmm?" Yuya turned around and saw his opponent,

"Alright then I accept your challenge. Who are you?" Yuya asked.

"The name is Kraven. And you will fall before my Gladiator Beasts!" Kraven said as he readied his duel disk.

"DUEL!"

"I activate his special ability! Once per turn, I can switch the ATK and DEF points of one monster on the field and I choose Andal."

Andal ATK: 1500

"Battle! Whip Snake attack his Andal!"

"I activate the Quick-Play spell Gladiator Shift! When a Gladiator Beast is targeted for an attack, I can return it back to my deck and summon another with the same level. I return Andal to summon Gladiator Beast Laquari from my deck!"

Gladiator Beast Laquari: Lv. 4 FIRE Beast-Warrior ATK: 1800/ DEF: 400

"Grr. Whip Snake stop the attack!"

"Not bad but I this is just a warm up. I set a card and end my turn." Yuya said as he started to run and look for action cards.

"My turn. I draw."

"Now I summon Gladiator Beast Bestiari!"

Gladiator Beast Bestiari: Lv. 4 WIND Winged Beast ATK: 1500/ DEF: 800

"Now it's time for Contact Fusion!"

"Huh? Contact Fusion? What's that!?"

"The Contact Fusion works for only certain monsters that don't require Polymerization. It allows me to send the Fusion materials to my deck and summon the required monster. Now enough talk!"

"Beast of raging fire, beast of the soaring sky, combine yourselves and form a new power to shake down our enemies. CONTACT FUSION! Appear, Level 6! Gladiator Beast Gyzarus!"

Gladiator Beast Gyzarus: Lv. 6 DARK Winged Beast/Fusion ATK: 2400/ DEF: 1500

"A fusion monster that can be summoned without Polymerization. Is that possible?" Yuzu wondered.

"Oh it's possible and you'll see it's devastating effect! When this card is summoned, I can target two cards on the field and destroy them! Of course I choose your only two cards."

"Ah! My cards!"

"Battle! Gyzarus! Attack Yuya directly!"

"Ah! There! I play the Action Spell Half Shut! Now all damage I take is halved! Grgh."

Yuya: 4000-2800

"Fine then but now I play another one of Gyzarus' effects. At the end of the battle since he attacked, I can return this monster to the Extra Deck and summon 2 Gladiator Beasts from my deck." Gyzarus glowed as it was returned to the Extra Deck and 2 cards slid from Kraven's duel disk.

"I special summon Gladiator Beast Octavius and Dimacari from my deck!"

Gladiator Beast Octavius: Lv. 7 LIGHT Winged-Beast ATK: 2500/ DEF: 1200

Gladiator Beast Dimacari: Lv. 4 EARTH Beast ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1200

"I set two cards facedown and end my turn."

Turn 4

Yuya: 2800

Hand: 4

Kraven: 4000

Hand: 1

Yuya got up observed the field. 'His monsters have devastating effects. I have to hold on and make a comeback.'

"My turn. I draw." 'Got it.'

"I, using the Scale 1 Stargazer Magician and the Scale 8 Timegazer Magician, set the Pendulum Scale!" Yuya cried placing the his pendulum cards on his duel disk as the word "PENDULUM" appeared in rainbow letters. 2 columns of blue light appear between Yuya and in them were Stargazer with the number 1 below and Timegazer with number 8 below. As they stopped mid-air, a giant pendulum of Yuya's pendent appeared.

"Now I can summon any monsters between lv 2 to 7 at the same time!" Yuya said.

"Swing, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether! PENDULUM SUMMON! Come forth! My monsters!" Yuya chanted as 3 lights shot out of a blue portal.

"Performapal Silver Claw, Performapal Fire Mufflerlion, and finally Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya yelled as his 3 monsters appeared before him.

Performapal Silver Claw: Lv. 4 DARK Beast/Pendulum ATK: 1800/ DEF: 300

Performapal Fire Mufflerlion: Lv. 3 FIRE Beast/Pendulum ATK: 800/ DEF: 800

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: Lv. 7 DARK Dragon/Pendulum ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000

"So this is Pendulum Summon! So awesome!"

"Don't get too carried away. Battle! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon attack Dimacari! Spiral Strike Burst!"

"I play the trap Impenetrable Attack! For this turn, Dimacari can't be destroyed this turn!"

"But you'll still take damage!"

Kraven: 4000-3100

"Silver Claw attack Dimacari! And due to his effect, he gains 300 ATK."

Silver Claw ATK: 1800-2100

Kraven: 3100-2600

"And now that the battle is over, I play Dimacari's effect! After this card is attacked and still on the field, I can return him to my deck and summon another Gladiator Beast from my Deck. And I choose Gladiator Beast Alexander!"

Gladiator Beast Alexander: Lv. 6 LIGHT Beast ATK: 2400/ DEF: 600

"So they can even use the effects when I attack them?"

"That's right. And now for his effect! Since he was special summoned, he's unaffected by spells."

"I'll end my turn."

Turn 5

Yuya: 2800

Hand: 0

Kraven: 2600

Hand: 1

"Now then I'm up. I draw."

"I've gotta say Yuya. I'm disappointed in you. I thought that you would be a worthy prey but I guess I was wrong." Kraven said.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Yuya asked.

"You see Yuya, I used to be an entertainer in Africa. I gave people smiles while dueling and I gave them hope but then one day, I was beaten by someone powerful who embarrassed me and that was when I became a laughing stock. I gave up on giving people hope and started to hunt people for money by dueling them and taking their decks but when I heard rumors about a duelist that possessed pendulum cards, I decided to hunt you down and take those pendulum cards. And here we are having this duel. And once you lose, your deck is mine."

"Your wrong! A deck is what makes the person a duelist. Even though you lost your passion for dueling, there is still hope! And I'll prove it to you!"

"If you believe in hope, then I'll just break that hope! I now summon Laquari once again."

Gladiator Beast Laquari: Lv. 4 FIRE Beast-Warrior ATK: 1800/ DEF: 400

"And now with these three monsters, I can create my ultimate fusion monster."

"Activate Contact Fusion!"

"Another one!? Yuya exclaimed.

"Beast of raging fire, beast of the animal king, and beast of the piercing eagle combine! Swirl together to form the true king of the beasts! CONTACT FUSION! Appear, Level 8! Gladiator Beast Heraklinos!"

Gladiator Beast Heraklinos: Lv. 8 FIRE Beast-Warrior/Fusion ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2800

"I now activate the Triangle Triple Attack spell card which will allow my monster to attack three of your monsters at the cost of reducing my monster's attack by 500 for each attack until the end of my turn but now I play the trap Horn of the Phantom Beast and equip it to my monster giving him 800 ATK points."

Heraklinos ATK: 3000-3800

"Battle! Heraklinos attack Odd-Eyes!"

Heraklinos ATK: 3800-3300

"Grgh!"

Yuya: 2800-2000

"Attack his Silver Claw!"

Nerokius ATK: 3300-2800

"GAH!"

"Yuya!"

Yuya: 2000-1000

"This will end it all! "Now finish him! Attack Mufflerlion!"

Nerokius ATK: 2800-2300

The attack was about to hit Yuya when he struggled and stretched his hand out and grabbed the Action Card and then smirked. "I play the Action Spell Miracle! This card prevents Mufflerlion from being destroyed and halves the damage! Gah!"

Yuya: 1000-250

"Tch! Fine then. I end my turn but rest assured! On my next turn, I'll wipe out the rest of your LP and crush any hope that you have left!"

Heraklinos: ATK 2300-3800

Turn 6

Yuya: 250

Hand: 0

Kraven: 2600

Hand: 0

"It's my turn. I draw!" "Perfect!"

"Get ready Kraven! The fun has only just begun!" Yuya said his catchphrase as he snapped his fingers.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! From here on it's time we did a competition of Beast vs. Beast! I'll show you now! With my currently set Scale 1 Stargazer Magician and the Scale 8 Timegazer Magician, I can summon any monsters between lv 2 to 7 at the same time!" Both Stargazer and Timegazer bowed before Yuya chanted once more.

"Swing, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether! PENDULUM SUMMON! Come forth, My monsters!" Yuya chanted as 2 lights shot out of a blue portal.

"From my hand Performapal Elephammer and my Extra Deck Performapal Fire Mufflerlion and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"

Performapal Elephammer: Lv. 6 EARTH Beast ATK: 2600/ DEF: 1800

Performapal Fire Mufflerlion: Lv. 3 FIRE Beast/Pendulum ATK: 800/ DEF: 800

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: Lv. 7 DARK Dragon/Pendulum ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000

"Look at this people! The recently defeated pendulum monsters have return from the Extra Deck and we have a new performer on stage!" Everyone who watched Yuya's duel awed in excitement.

"Hey! I didn't come here to duel a clown like you! I want the real Yuya to step out!" Kraven shouted.

"But this is the real me. We duel for something important in our lives and I duel for fun and make smiles! That is what gives us HOPE!" As Yuya said that, his pendent glowed and he heard a dragon's roar from it as his Extra Deck glowed.

"Now then it's time that I do this by your book! Here goes, Contact Fusion!"

"What!? Impossible!"

"By tributing the required monsters, I can summon the Fusion monster from my Extra Deck. The monster I choose to fuse are Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Performapal Elephammer!"

"Hammering elephant of the savanna, become one with the dragon of mystery and give birth to a new power! CONTACT FUSION! Come forth, ferocious dragon with luminous feral eyes! Level 8! Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"

Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: Lv. 8 EARTH Dragon/Fusion ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2000

"A-A 3000 ATK Contact Fusion monster? But how?"

"I believed in hope! And this is the result for believing in hope."

"Don't give me that crap, kid. Your new dragon only has 3000 ATK while mine has 3800 ATK, you don't stand a chance!"

"Heh. Like I said before, the fun has only just begun! From my graveyard, I activate the trap Skill Successor!"

"What!? A trap activation in your graveyard!? T-That card. That was the one I destroyed in the beginning of the duel."

"That's right. And what this card does is by banishing from my graveyard, one monster on my field gains 800 ATK points!"

Beast-Eyes ATK: 3000-3800

"Battle! Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Attack Heraklinos! Helldive Burst!"

"No you don't!" Kraven yelled as he ran to grab an Action Card while Yuya jumped off Beast-Eyes to grab one the two Action Cards.

As the two attacks were about to hit, the two duelists grabbed the Action Card in front of them.

"Hmph! Perfect! I play the Action Spell Great Fire Cannon! Since your monster was destroyed, this card inflicts damage equal to half your monster's attack. This duel is over!" Kraven yelled as a cannon appeared and fired at Yuya when suddenly a blanket appeared and bounced that fire up in the air and created fireworks.

"W-What!?"

"Beautiful." Yuzu said.

"Before my monster was going to be destroyed, I played the Action Spell Miracle to prevent my monster's destruction."

Kraven growled as the smoked cleared and Beast-Eyes was still on the field.

"And now! Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's effect activates! When it destroys a monster by battle, you take damage equal to the ATK of the Beast Fusion Material! Elephammer's ATK is 2600! This ends it all, Kraven!"

Kraven's eyes widened at the soul of Elephammer going at him and forced him back. "Gah! Oof!"

Yuya: 250(Winner)

Kraven: 0

"Yes! My first win in the tournament!" Yuya cheered and then Yuzu ran and gave him a hug.

"Congrats, Yuya!" Yuzu said excitedly.

"Thanks Yuzu."

"Oh. Kraven." Kraven put his hand for a handshake as Yuya accepted it.

"That was impressive, Yuya. You've reminded me that I can believe in hope. Thank you."

"Your welcome."

"Well since I lost and I'm out of the tournament, I give you my Pendulum statue card." Kraven said as he gave his only pendulum card to Yuya.

"Thank you. And let's hope we duel another time."

"You bet! I'm looking forward to it" Kraven and Yuya fist bumped and then parted ways.

"Well that's two pendulum cards for me. Two down, 6 more to go. Lets go find some more people to duel. Hurry up, Yuzu!"

"Hey! Hold up!" Yuzu exclaimed as she ran with Yuya.
