Ladies and Gentlemen! When I watched Arc-V, I had a thought. Zarc was a human merged with the four dragons. So, I thought, what if Zarc and Ray were split up into five entities. Welcome to The Human, and I hope you enjoy. Please also note that this is my first fanfic that I have ever made so it'll be helpful if I had feedback!
Matthew: I attack with Accel Formula Warrior directly. With that, I win.
Sean: What? Aw man! I lost to you again Matthew.
Matthew: Hey, it's alright Sean. You'll get better eventually.
Matthew was dueling some of his friends at an orphanage with a huge crowd watching.
Bob: Hey! How many wins does that make?
Jordan: That would make 72 wins and 4 losses.
Matthew: It's 71 wins and 5 losses.
Avery: C'mon Big Bro. You said you were going to go easy on them.
Matthew is a fourteen-year-old teen with short black hair and fairly tanned skin. While not being muscular, he is well in shape. Matthew has always been the kind of person to entertain the audience and very serious in his work. He mostly cares about his friends and more importantly his little sister. He's always doing parkour as a way of fun with his friends and is usually seen wearing a grey jacket and a black shirt with a different anime character and shorts. Matthew uses a synchron deck that also has a fair amount of monsters used to Xyz, Pendulum, and Fusion Summon.
Avery is a twelve-year-old girl with long brown hair and doesn't have a tan. She looks cute and always has a smile on her face, and that's why she's the most popular girl at school (Seriously. If you saw this girl, you would've fallen in love with her). She's also full of energy and outgoing. She's on the cheerleading team so she is very fast and flexible and her everyday clothes is a shirt and a skirt that screams "I'm so cute! Please look at me!" She also had a mysterious bracelet that even Matthew didn't know where it came from. Avery uses an Elemental Hero deck because she loves hero stories. She also includes several Pendulum Monsters as well.
The two siblings were always close and were always mistaken as being a couple of which causes Matthew to laugh and Avery being embarrassed.
Matthew: Well I would've. Until they suddenly pulled out Fusion cards, then I had to try a bit. They'd be disappointed if I didn't try. Anyway, 's I got to work. I hear that Vrains is airing tonight online Crunchyroll. With the new summoning method, I need to prepare.
Jordan: You didn't watch any of the old shows though. You're so good at all the summons.
Matthew: You were the same Jordan.
Avery: You also spent lots of money finding all the cards. Seriously you starved yourself for two weeks because of that.
Matthew: Yeah. I wasted a lot of money on these cards. Well, I gotta go. C'mon Avery.
Avery: Oh just wait a minute! Bye, everyone!
Matthew and Avery walk out to a beautiful night sky and starts walking home as Matthew hums a little tune. When they turn into an alley, Avery sees a small blue light, and her bracelet reacted.
Matthew: What is that? Huh?!
Matthew's arm was fading away, and fear struck him as he looked at Avery who was also fading away.
Avery: Matthew!
Matthew: Avery! NO!
They both fade into the night.
?
Matthew: Ugh… Where am I? What was I doing? Huh? I don't remember this place. Avery! Are you there?!
Matthew looked around to see an unfamiliar land that was also in ruins. Matthew looks around to see a person in a red jacket unconscious. He checks to see if the person was alright.
Matthew: Hey! Are you alright? What's going on here?
He sees something on the person's arm which looked like a tablet and touched it which caused a video to play of someone speaking.
?: Attention all Academia students. We seem to have a resistance problem in this dimension. If you see anyone from the Xyz dimension, terminate and card them immediately without mercy. Also, don't lose any more of these duel disks. We don't want any more futile resistance.
Matthew: What the? Terminated? Dimension? Card?! The only thing I know is I need to find Avery and get out of here. Might as well take this disk. Huh? Is this where the deck goes? He inserts his deck into the small pouch.
?: Hey you over there!
Matthew: Huh?!
?: What the hell do you think you're doing?
Matthew: Well, um. I found this guy unconscious, and I lost my disk. I-I was going to take him back to camp later.
?: That is the biggest amount of bull I've heard all day. You wanna know what? I'll take you down and card ya like the rest.
The guy activates his disk and Matthew panics and grips his left arm for the disk to activate.
Matthew: Ok… Well, Mr. scary blue suit guy. Let's duel.
?: The name's Brandon. Not that you'll be around for much longer.
Matthew: Ok…
DUEL
Matthew: LP 4000
Brandon: LP 4000
Brandon: I'll start. I activate Fusion to fuse my Flame Manipulator and Masaki the Legendary Swordsman from my hand! Fusion summon! Come out! Flame Swordsman (LV 5, 1800 ATK)! I end with a card facedown!
Matthew: Well I draw! "Holy cow. I'm playing Yugioh using disks as they said in the anime and manga! I just wish it was in a better scenario." I activate the Xyz monster, Millennium Ring's effect from my extra deck! At the start of the duel, I can immediately put it on my Pendulum Scale. I set the first scale with Scale 1 Millennium Ring!
Matthew takes out his Millennium Ring and thinks a bit before putting it at the edge of the deck. A pillar where the Millennium Ring rises on his left side.
Brandon: What is this? A Pendulum Scale? What kind of absurd the thing is that?!
Matthew: You don't know? Then welcome to dueling 101! Presented by me. With the Scale 7 Sky Dragoons of Draconia, I set the Pendulum Scale!
As Matthew places the card on the other end of the duel disk, the word Pendulum was spelled out, as the second pillar of light came out where Sky Dragoons came out of.
Matthew: With this, I can summon monsters level 2 through 6 simultaneously! Guided in this world, break the dimensional shift and create a new future! Pendulum Summon! Come forth! My Monsters! From my hand Zubaba Knight (LV 3, 1600 ATK), Junk Synchron (LV 3, 1300 ATK), and my personal favorite, Prime Material Dragon (LV 6, 2400 ATK)!
Brandon: Oi! Ain't that cheating! How can you summon three monsters, as well as a level 6 without tribute!
Matthew: That's the way Pendulum Summoning works. Now let's get groovy! I use my Level 3 Zubaba Knight and my Junk Synchron to Overlay! Vicious Golem born in the mixture of mankind. Use your power to poison everything around you! Xyz Summon! Come out! Rank 3! Number 30 Acid Golem of Destruction (Rank 3, 3000 ATK)!
Brandon: I knew it! You're part of the Resistance!
Matthew: Don't know what you're talking about. Battle! I attack with Prime Material Dragon! Prime Stream!
Brandon: C'mon you know I have a trap, right? I activate my trap Magic Cylinder! I can negate your attack and deal the damage I would've taken! So take 800 points!
Matthew: Wrong! I activate Prime Material Dragon's effect! When I would take damage from a card effect, the damage becomes zero, and I gain life points by the same amount!
Matthew: 4000 → 4800
Matthew: I then attack with Acid Golem of Destruction! Acid Splash!
Brandon: 4000 → 2800
Matthew: With that, I end my turn with a facedown.
(Meanwhile)
?: Shun! That guy is fighting an Academia person. He's also a Xyz user.
Shun: If that's true, then we should bring him back to the base. We could have a new ally. Allen, get ready to go in.
Brandon: My turn. Draw! I activate Card of Sanctity, so both players draw till they have six cards! Next, I activate Monster Reborn! I can summon a monster from the graveyard! I bring back Flame Swordsman! Next, I activate Spell Reproduction to send two spells from my hand to bring back Fusion to my hand! Now I activate it using Flame Swordsman and Dark Magician from my hand! Fusion Summon! Come out! Dark Flare Knight (LV 6, 2200 ATK)!
Matthew: That monster has only 2200 attack. What can it do?!
Brandon: I can do this! Battle! I attack Prime Material Dragon! Dark Flames Slice! I then activate his effect! I take no battle damage when using this card to attack. And when this card leaves the field I can special summon one Mirage Knight from my deck!
Matthew: Heh. It looks you didn't go crazy!
Brandon: Of course! I'm not stupid! Come on out, Mirage Knight (LV 8, 2800 ATK)! I now attack your Acid Golem with Mirage Knight! I then activate his effect! When Mirage Knight battles I can increase the attack of this monster equal to the monster it battles! (2800 → 5800 ATK).
Matthew: What?!
Brandon: Go! Destroy that golem!
Matthew: 4800 → 2000
The smoke cleared up to see Acid Golem was still there.
Brandon: Why is Acid Golem still there?
Matthew: Number Monsters can only be destroyed by Number Monsters. So Acid Golem is not destroyed!
Brandon: Seriously! I don't have any Number Monsters though.
Matthew: Well then. End your turn!
Brandon: Tsk! I end my turn with one facedown.
Matthew: Welp, time to see what I can do. I draw. Acid Golem effect activates. I take 2000 points every standby phase unless I use one overlay units. I choose to take the 2000 points.
Brandon: Wait! Won't you just get the 2000 points!
Matthew: Yep! I activate Prime Material Dragon's effect and gain 2000 life points!
Matthew: 2000 → 4000
Matthew: Now with the already set pendulum scales, I summon from my hand Gagaga Magician (LV 4, 1500 ATK) and Hyper Synchron (LV 4, 1600 ATK)! I use Level 4 Gagaga Magician and Hyper Synchron to Overlay once again! Carry hope on white wings! The Messenger of Light! Xyz Summon! Come out! Rank 4! Number 39 Utopia!
Brandon: Wait what? You have another one?! Oh, come on! Are you just pulling these cards out your ass?
Matthew: Nope! If you're surprised about this then, well you're going to love this. I activate the spell card Rank-Up Magic: Astral Force! I can choose one monster in my field to rank it up one or two ranks! I choose Utopia and raise it by two ranks! With this, I rebuild the overlay network! Smash through the limits! When a person embraces a dream that exists beyond hope, a new future appears far off in the distance! Go beyond the limits and seize that future in your own hands! Rank Up Xyz Change! Appear! Rank 6! Number 39 Utopia Beyond (Rank 6, 3000 ATK)!
Allen: This guy also has Rank-Up-Magic! Just who is this guy?
Matthew: I activate Utopia Beyond ability! When Beyond is summoned, I can make your monster's attack zero!(2800 → 0) This is the end! Battle! I attack your Mirage Knight with my Utopia Beyond! Rising Sun Beyond Slash!
Brandon: I activate the trap card, Negate Attack! I negate your attack and end the battle phase!
Matthew: I activate the trap, Trap Jammer! Your Negate Attack is negated, and the battle continues!
Brandon: Then I activate Mirage Knights ability, and it gains Attack equal to the monster it battles (0 → 3000). I then activate the quick spell Rush Recklessly, and my monster gains 700 attacks (3000 → 3700).
Matthew: 4000 → 3300
Matthew: Geez. You're persistent. I end with a facedown!
Brandon: Mirage Knight attack becomes normal (2800 ATK)! I draw! I activate Brain Control, and by losing 800 points, I can take one monster which will be your Acid Golem!
Brandon: 2800 → 2000
Brandon: Finally I activate Double Attack! By sending a monster to the grave, I can choose one monster, and they can battle twice. I send Tragoedia to my grave so Mirage Knight can battle twice! Battle! I attack your Prime Material with Mirage Knight, and his ability activates. He gains your Dragon's attack (2800 + 2400 = 5200). Go! Mirage Slash!
Matthew: 3300 → 600
Matthew: I activate Utopia Beyond's ability, by sending one overlay unit, I can send one number monster that I control to the grave! I send Utopia Beyond it to the grave to get 1250 life points and special summon one Utopia that isn't Beyond from the Graveyard! I special summon Utopia!
Matthew: 600 → 1850
Matthew: I then activate the trap, Numbers Overlay Boost! If my Number monster has no Overlay Units, I can use monsters in my hand, and they became Overlay Units for my monster. I use two Overlay Eaters from my hand and Utopia gets two Overlay Units.
Brandon: Ok then! I attack with Acid Golem! Gunk Shot!
Matthew: I activate Utopia's ability, and by using one Overlay Unit, I can negate an attack! Lightning Shield!
Utopia used a wing to create a shield to block the attack.
Brandon: Then let's use that last Overlay Unit! I attack Utopia with Mirage Knight, and I activate his ability (2800 → 5300)! Magnet Slash!
Matthew: I activate Utopia's effect and negate the battle!
Brandon: Heh! Next turn, you're done!
Matthew: I still have points, so I still have a chance. Now I draw! I activate the two Overlay Eaters in my graveyard! I can banish them to take two overlay units from Acid of Golem of Destruction and give it to my Utopia! I end my turn!
Brandon: Tsk! Guess I'll just beat you next turn! Draw!
Matthew: Did you forget Acid Golem's ability? You now take 2000 points of damage!
Brandon: What?! NOO! How could I forget?! If only I took Beyond!
Brandon: 2000 → 0
Matthew Wins!
Matthew: By the way! The name is Matthew. I'm taking your disk just in case and these two cards.
He takes Card of Sanctity and Fusion and puts it in his deck.
Matthew: A hand renewal card and another Fusion is always nice.
Shun: Allen! Let's go now!
Allen: Right!
The two run towards Matthew.
Shun: Yuto?!
Matthew: Um no. I'm not sure who you're talking about. Are you with those guys?
Shun: Yuto, it's me, Kurosaki.
Matthew: I don't know you. Sorry. I'm Matthew. Have you seen my sister? She's this high and wears really cute clothes.
Allen: I'm sorry I haven't. You look like a friend is all. That's why we called you Yuto. I'm Allen Kozuki. This tall guy is Shun Kurosaki.
Matthew: Nice to meet you guys.
Shun: Let's hurry. They'll be here soon.
Matthew: Please, lead the way.
