The dimension dragon lords: Special
Chapter 1
A year has passed ever since the dimensional war which ravaged the 4 worlds, which was then followed by the resurrection and eventual defeat of the monstrous demon known as Supreme King Dragon Zarc. Thanks to the combined efforts of the lancers as well as the duelling of Yuya Sakaki and a certain young duelist, peace and harmony within and between in the 4 dimensions had never been more absolute. The dreadful days of destruction are now but a distant memory for everyone, and in Maiami City, duelling has been taken to even greater heights as a special tournament was now being held in order to commemorate the occasion, the day the 4 worlds through Yuya's duelling.
(Maiami City Arena)
The field was set as Yuya's favourite duel field, Acrobatic circus, and now a heated match was now well underway in the arena, where many fans were watching, be it at their seats, at home or even across the 4 worlds!
BOOM!
"Incredible! In a surprising turn of events, Shingo Sawatari has executed a stupendous counter strategy against Yuya Sakaki's attack! Things sure are heating up for the hero of the four dimensions as his opponent closes in on him and his life points!" Nico Smiley announced as Yuya was blown back as his attack from Performapal Handsome Liger had just backfired on Shingo's monster.
"AAAAHHH!" he cried as he fell off a platform, only to be snatched in the nick of time by his most trusted partner Odd eyes pendulum dragon! "Phew….thanks Odd eyes, if you hadn't come in I would have been as flat as a pancake…." he breathed in relief as his dragon growled back in response. His field currently had odd eyes pendulum dragon as well as his 2 magicians stargazer and timegazer in his pendulum zones. As he looked back at the platform he was knocked off, he came face to face with a grinning Shingo Sawatari and his ace, Abyss Actor Superstar, as well as Twinkle Little star and evil heel in his pendulum zones.
"Hehehe! Too bad Yuya, but I've got to give you credit for your daring stunt, too bad you weren't fast enough to grab that action card, so your handsome liger was forced to leave the stage." he snickered as his superstar did a bow to the crowd after his dazzling attack against Yuya's monster.
Yuya: 3200
"Hehe…Well you can't win them all I guess…" Yuya chuckled unbothered as he scratched his head, "Though I've got to admit, I never expected you to have gotten this good ever since you went pro yourself." he said as he and Odd eyes got back into serious mode and eyed their opponent.
Shingo: 2400
"Heh! I myself have evolved beyond the duelist you once knew, and you shall soon see!" He then pointed his finger at Yuya, "Today is the day I finally settle the score with you once and for all my greatest rival and fellow lancer!"
"Challenge accepted Sawatari!" Yuya replied with eagerness.
"But that's not all! Proving myself better than you is far too small for a duelist of my caliber!" He then turned around to the entirety of the audience, "On this day, I will prove to everyone that I, Neo NEO New Shingo Sawatari, am the greatest entertainer in the pendulum, no, all the dimensions!" He proclaimed while showing off to the crowd who began to cheer and exclaim even more with excitement.
"A bold proclamation from Shingo Sawatari! Can he possibly back it up!?" Nico announced.
"How about I show you all instead!?" he replied confidently, "Draw!"
Hearing such words would have been an insult to Yuya, but he instead smiled and took up the challenge with stride, "Bring it on Sawatari! Me and Odd eyes can handle anything you throw at us!"
"We shall see about that! First, due to Abyss actor superstar's special ability! I can add one 'Abyss script' spell card from my deck straight to my hand!" A card ejected from his deck, "The one I chose is Opening Ceremony! And now with the set scale of Twinkle little star and evil heel I can summon monsters from levels 2-8 all at once! Pendulum summon!" 2 lights shot out, "Take to the stage Abyss actors Dandy supporting actor and Sassy rookie!" A small moustached man and ruggedly dressed monster in performing outfits appeared on Shingo's field. "Now I play The opening ceremony I just added to my hand! This grants me 500 points for each of my beloved stars! Since 3 are currently on stage their stage director now gains 1500 points from all their combined efforts!" A shower of fireworks shot into the air and exploded around Shingo as his life points gained a significant boost!
Shingo: 2400-3900
"In a single move, Shingo's points are nearly back to their original total! The gap between these 2 marvellous entertainers is beginning to widen, could this be the countdown to Yuya's defeat!?"
"Not if we can help it! Come on Odd eyes!" Yuya called as they ran off across the field for action cards.
"I'm afraid your defeat has been written in my marvellous act Yuya, so I can't have you and your dragon pulling off anymore unexpected miracles!" Shingo grinned, "I activate the special effect of my dandy supporting actor! As I control 2 abyss actors in my pendulum zone, by tributing him I can special summon a level 1 or 8 abyss actor pendulum monster from my hand or extra deck!" The small monster exploded into sparkles, "Now from my hand I summon a second Abyss actor-Evil heel!" The grotesque fiend monster appeared in the smaller one's place! "When successfully summoned, evil heel weakens your monster by 1000 for each abyss actor I control! With 3 you know what that means!" he said with a devious smile.
"Oh no!" Yuya gasped as all 3 of Shingo's monsters glowed red, blue and yellow, their combined aura suddenly shot out and froze odd eyes in his tracks just before he could snatch the action card on a higher platform!
2500-0
"Odd eyes!" Yuya cried as his dragon slumped to the ground drained of its strength!
"Yuya's dragon is completely defenceless! Could this be it!?" Nico announced as everyone was at the edge of their seats.
"No it won't." Shingo suddenly spoke, "What fun would it be if I were to finish things now? Such an act would be completely unfitting of the new and improved me!" Shingo smirked, "I now activate the pendulum effect of twinkle little star! This turn one abyss actor on my field is allowed to attack up to 3 times this turn!"
"No way!" Yuya gasped surprised as Twinkle Littlest glowed bright red and Superstar became fully energised while the other 2 monsters glowed purple.
Shingo then looked to his other monsters, "For the small price of preventing my other monsters from attacking this round, though it pains me somewhat to have both evil heel and sassy rookie do merely the dirty work, I promise you shall all be acknowledged in the finale of this spectacular show! Superstar! Go forth and bring us victory, by slaying the evil dragon!" Shingo announced as Superstar charged forward!
"Come on Odd eyes! Get up!" Yuya called as his dragon groaned but failed to get up. He then sweated anxiously as the action card was right above him yet Superstar was charging at him and Odd eyes at surprising speed! "Can I really make it in time?" He thought to himself, this moment's hesitation bought Super star just enough time to get within striking range! Yuya closed his eyes as he raced for impact, but at the last second-
"Not so fast!" A voice called out to their surprise as a wall of energy generated in front between Odd eyes and superstar, causing him to be immediately deflected!
"Eh!?" Shingo gasped in disbelief, "What just happened!?" he yelled frustratedly after that.
"I happened!" Appearing from out from behind one of the tall pillars was none other than myself, Ryuga Shirogane, on board of MY own dragon Bahamut! He then let out a mighty roar a we landed next to Yuya and Odd eyes who looked up to us with glad eyes.
Ryuga: 3000
"The Dragon seal trap card prevents all non-dragon type monsters from attacking while it's face up! So now I'm afraid Superstar's role in this show has now ended!" I stated.
"What a turn of events! Ryuga Shirogane has arrived on the scene, just in time to save Yuya from absolute defeat at the hands of Shingo Sawatari!" Nico announced as everyone cheered at my appearance.
"Phew! Thanks for the save Ryuga!" Yuya breathed relieved as we went up to him.
"Hey we're partners remember? It's only natural we have each other's backs especially in a TAG team tournament." I replied back, "Sorry I'm late though, would have been here sooner if I could."
"Better late than never." Yuya replied.
"Wh…where did you come from!?" Shingo interrupted still in shock and disbelief, "Weren't you supposed to be out of my glorious picture!?"
"S…sorry Sawatari…." a voice groaned from behind, limping out from the side of a pillar was Kakimoto, one of of his lackeys, "I tried my best but he was just too good for me…."
(Earlier)
At the very beginning Shingo's plan, like it had always been since the first round of this tag team tournament, was to break the opposing team apart into 2 while his team attacked them separately. (He thought of it as a brilliant strategy to keep the opponents from aiding with each other and breaking up their team strategy, but in actual fact it was so he could either use his partner as a scapegoat or prevent him from getting in his way. I admit while it basically was everything against good teamwork, to some extent it was effective at first, but it wasn't to last.)
Ryuga: 3000
Kakimoto: 2800
"Haha! Sorry Shirogane but victory will be mine soon enough!" Kaki boasted as his igknight cavalier had just defeated my powered tuner after pendulum summoning it from his extra deck using his Igknight Gallant and Squire.
I then got back on my feet with a determined look, "Your 'strategy' may have helped you and Shingo get this far in the tournament, but it's nothing compared to the bond Yuya and I share!" I yelled as I drew, "I play spark of the light dragon! Now by sending vice dragon and luster dragon 2 to my graveyard I can special summon a LIGHT dragon type monster from my deck! And there's only one monster I can perfectly rely on now!" A shining card ejected from my deck, "As always Ryuga, I am at your command." Bahamut said with a smile.
I nodded as I laid his card out, "Come forth! The embodiment of the dragon emperor's heart! Bahamut! Sacred dragon of hope!" My partner appeared on the field with a loud roar!
"Uh oh…." Kaki sweated with worry seeing my 3000 attack dragon finally on the field.
"Now I normal summon Bahamut in order to unseal his gemini effect!" The white gemini light enveloped my dragon as his powers were unleashed! "Alright Bahamut! Attack Igknight Cavalier with Supreme Sacred Strike!" I commanded as he took to the air and fired a powerful beam at him!
"N…n…no way am I letting it end like this!" he cried as he raced and snatched an action card from the side of the field, "I activate the action spell evasion! This negates your attack!" Cavalier then dodged Bahamut's blast!
At that moment I grabbed an action card of my own from a spinning wheel (Like the one Yuya rode on when duelling Reiji), "Tough luck Kakimoto, I activate the action spell wonder chance! This allows Bahamut to attack once more this turn! Go! Supreme sacred strike!" Bahamut fired a second beam which hit its target dead on! "When Bahamut destroys an opponents monster that was summoned from the extra deck, like your Cavalier just was, you take its attack points as damage! Sacred rage!"
BOOM!
"AAAAAGGGHHH!" Kakimoto cried as he was sent flying across the field and over the edge!
Kakimoto: 2800-0
Ryuga: WIN!
(Present)
"You'll have to think of a much better team strategy against us than fighting separately Shingo. Because you're fighting the dream team!" I stated as Yuya and I nodded together in agreement.
"Th…this wasn't in my cleverly crafted script at all!" he growled in annoyance before turning to his 'partner', "Oi! I chose you from all my other loyal riff raff and you couldn't follow along with my perfect plan!"
"S..s..sorry Sawatari! I am not worthy!" Kakimoto whimpered before exiting the field.
"Sigh….still a spoilt sport as always I see…" I sighed disappointed that Shingo didn't give him the credit he deserved for trying his hardest.
Yuya then spoke up to try and lighten the mood, "Haha, well you know the old saying Shingo, sometimes you can't have everything go the way you want, be it in life, plans or even duelling." Yuya added, "Therefore, you just make do with what you've got!"
"Make do?" Shingo grunted, "How can I…Wait! Hehehe! I'm such a genius!" he giggled to himself.
"Huh?" we both said confused.
Shingo then grinned as the spotlights suddenly focused on him, "Behold ladies and gentlemen! The noble hero Shingo Sawatari, now alone and having the odds stacked against him, now stands against 2 vicious dragons as the world's last hope! Though it may seem hopeless for our lone hero, justice shall prevail in the end!" he shouted to the crowds as their applause roared even louder than ever.
"Now WE'RE the bad guys?" I thought to myself annoyed that we were suddenly given roles we never asked for.
"Haha, well let's just play along with it Ryuga," Yuya chuckled, "After all, this tournament is all about having fun and building bonds between partners and opponents. So let's give everyone here what they want!"
I then smirked, "Couldn't have said it better myself." I replied as we prepared ourselves for whatever scheme Sawatari had in store.
"Alright you villainous beasts! Sadly due to the circumstances I am forced to end my turn, but very soon the curtain of defeat shall fall upon the two of you!" Shingo declared.
"We'll show everyone here who the true villain is soon enough!" Yuya countered as he drew, "Ladies and gentlemen!" he announced to the crowd, "Watch now as our dynamic dragon duo overcome the clowns of chaos!" I followed whipping everyone into an excitement of frenzy!
"I activate the spell Spiral Flame strike!" Yuya declared as he played it, "Since I have an odd eyes monster on my field, I can destroy any card on the field! And I choose the evil mastermind Abyss Actor Superstar!" Odd eyes then fired a powerful red and black flame towards the targeted super star!
Shingo then smirked, "Heh, well if I am the mastermind as you claim me to be, then I can't allow you to foil my perfect plans for conquest!" he retorted as he leapt up higher and snatched an action card thanks to the aid of Evil heel, "I play the action spell Guard cover! Now for the rest of this turn I can choose the targets of all your card effects! So I'm afraid your little fireworks are now targeting sassy rookie!" The flames did a sudden bend towards the new targeted abyss actor. "Also once per turn, Abyss actor sassy rookie cannot be destroyed!" A blue shield suddenly formed around rookie as the flames were completely blocked.
"That was quite the cunning combo Shingo, guess that means Odd eyes and I will have to try even harder!" Yuya announced as I saw him get back on top of Odd eyes and charged for the action card they were aiming for. "Battle! Odd eyes pendulum dragon attacks Abyss actor super star! Spiral flame strike!" Odd eyes then roared and leapt into the air before preparing to fire down on Super star!
"Eh!? Odd eyes has 0 attack points thanks to evil heel! You'll wie yourself out with that stunt!" Shingo gasped.
I already knew the action card Yuya had was a game changer otherwise he wouldn't have attacked, "But just in case…" I then looked up to Bahamut who knew exactly what I was thinking, "There is no need for words, climb aboard." He then lowered his claw and lifted me onto his head as we took off to the sky for the higher reaches of the field. Meanwhile down below….
"You're not the only one with action cards Sawatari! I activate the action spell overpass! Now the attack points of our monsters swap this battle phase!" The attack stats of both monsters switched.
0-2500
2500-0
"Ack! Odd eyes deals double damage when it battles a level 5 or higher monster, meaning the damage I'll take will be catastrophic!" Shingo gasped as he leapt of the platform and onto the ground, Yuya and Odd eyes gave chase and had him cornered in an end.
"This is where it ends Shingo! Odd eyes pendulum dragon! Spiral flame strike!" Yuya declared as his dragon fired its barrage of flames!
"You're right Yuya…it is over…" he then smirked as he held up a new action cad he just acquired at the last second, "For your dragon that is!"
"Huh!?" Yuya gasped.
"I play battle change! Now for the rest of this turn I can choose the attack targets of your monsters this turn! So now your dragon is forced to battle my Abyss actor evil heel! Which has 3000 attack points!" The flame then bent once more and turned towards the large grotesque fiend monster!
"No Odd eyes!" Yuya cried.
"If this attack connects Yuya will lose one of his best monsters yet! Will this be it!?" Nico announced as everyone leaned forward.
"Help's on the way Yuya!" I called out from the sky grabbing everybody's attention while riding Bahamut and swooping down! "I activate the action spell Zero Penalty! Now the attack points of Shingo's evil heel now takes a nose dive right into 0!" The spell make Evil heel slip to the ground drained of its energy!
3000-0
"N..Not again!" Shingo cried out in disbelief as my meddling had once again cheated him of victory and ruining his plans!
"That's another I owe your Ryuga!" Yuya called out thankfully, "But first things first! Now that odd eyes has battled a level 5 or higher monster, the battle damage is doubled! Reaction force!" The flames erupted even more as they pierced through and punched Shingo out!
"GAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!" he cried as his life gauged dropped to 0.
Shingo: 3900-0
Ryuga and Yuya: WIN!
"And the winner of the Maiami tag team tournament is none other than Yuya Sakaki and Ryuga Shirogane! Such teamwork and strategy! This is exactly what we have hoped" Nico announced as everyone cheered loudly as we and our monsters all took a bow, while Shingo picked himself up and started ranting and taking his anger out on poor Kakimoto out of everyone's sight. "You and the others owe me a full body massage treatment as punishment for letting me down in the finals and failure to meet the expectations off the great Shingo Sawatari!" he yelled frustratedly.
"Y..Yes sir!" Kakimoto gasped while standing up straight and doing a bunch of apologetic bows.
Not paying him, more like not noticing him at all, Yuya then tuned to me, "Alright Ryuga! We did it!" he cheered as he and I high fived, "I knew we wouldn't lose, in fact it was pretty much guaranteed we'd win the moment we paired up."
"I completely agree with you, there was no way anyone would actually beat us, not after all we've been through." I replied as I noticed the smiles on everyone's faces in the coliseum, "It had been a while since Bahamut and I had an exciting match so it was great for the both of us to take part in this together with Yuya." I thought to myself, "And I have a feeling, many more great experiences are ahead of us….I just know it."
