Yuya's Treat

by Fenghuang0296

It's the perfect storm as forces converge on Fusion Dimension. The Lancers are backed up by powers and allies new and old alike, but will it be enough to take down Leo Akaba once and for all? And is he even the biggest threat? AU from episode 63 onwards. Rated T for occasional profanity and mature (violent) themes.

1. The Synchro King! All Hail Jack Atlas!

Chapter 1: The King of Synchro Dimension! All Hail Jack Atlas!

"Ladies and gentlemen, a grand welcome to all!" Melissa, the announcement lady declared from her perch in the official helicopter above the crowds. "As you all know, it's now the evening before the official opening of the Friendship Cup!"

Down in the pit bay, a certain green-haired boy was nervously strapping on a jumpsuit and pulling his helmet on. Yuya Sakaki cast a nervous glance towards a white D-Wheel parked nearby. "Do you really expect me to duel riding that thing?" he asked the pit crew loitering nearby. One of the members shrugged, the others ignored him.

"This place is crazy. Are all the alternate dimensions like this? Do they duel on surfboards in the Xyz Dimension or something?" Yuya chuckled to himself, trying to distract himself from the upcoming duel.

And he had every right to be nervous. In a scant a few minutes he was facing off with the legendary Duel King of Synchro Dimension, Jack Atlas himself. And if that wasn't bad enough, these crazy Synchro Dimension people expected him to duel riding a motorbike! "I can barely even drive," he groaned, shaking his head.

"Hey, kid! You're on in two minutes, as soon as the King's completed his victory lap!" someone shouted at Yuya from across the bay.

"Victory lap? But . . the duel hasn't even begun yet!" the young duelist protested, confused, only to hear responsive sniggers from the loitering pit crew. "Oh, please. As if a runt like you has any chance of beating Jack Atlas," one of the members snorted. "Ha hah, oh yeah. All hail the king!" another added as Yuya nervously mounted the D-Wheel set aside for him.

A holographic black Duel Disk blade with green edges flickered into existence near the handlebars as the engine revved up, and the entertainer slotted his Deck and Extra Deck into the appropriate slots. The screen in front of him that would display the Duel's progression flockered to life, and as the words 'Autopilot engaged,' flickered into view on the screen, Yuya breathed a sigh of relief.

With a screech of rubber on concrete, the bike wheeled out of the maintenance bay and onto the track. Yuya couldn't help but smile and wave at the assembled crowd.

But he couldn't fail to notice that most of the cheers were for his opponent. "Jack! Jack! Jack!" A steady chant echoed through the stadium, resonating and echoing with every word. "Jack, Jack. JACK!"

"We love you, King Atlas!" a gaggle of adoring fangirls screamed. "Kick that guy to the kerb!" someone else shouted and Yuya winced. "That's a little rude," he muttered in shock.

Jack Atlas was a tall, slim man with blonde hair curved back in the shape of a motorbike helmet. He would have been thin, but he wore a large, sweeping white cloak, with purple highlights that matched his piercing purple eyes, that covered most of his body and revealed nothing but a black undershirt, making him look larger than he was. His cloak billowed out behind him as he slowed to a halt on his D-Wheel, which he had stopped at the starting line next to Yuya.

"Greetings, my adoring fans!" Jack shouted, and the crowd was immediately silent. "This is my prediction for the Duel! On the first turn, I mount my defence! In the second, my opponent brings to bear everything he can muster! And on the third, I wipe the field clean and wipe his life out!" the tall, blonde man declared as he remounted his D-Wheel

"That's so arrogant!" Yuya exclaimed from the seat of his own bike. "Predicting you'll win in three turns before the Duel's even started? You don't even consider the possibility of my own strength!"

"What strength?" someone in the crowd jeered. "Everyone falls before the King! You should know that, Commons trash!" they continued.

"Alright, everyone!" Melissa declared from above. "The Duel starts in thirty seconds! We now activate the two Field Spells that allow a Riding Duel to happen - that's right, two! Neo Speed World and the new one, Cross Over Accel!" She paused for effect with a grin. "Cross Over Accel signifies the newest addition to Riding Duels! This allows the use of Action Cards, Spell Cards strewn around a course that can be picked up at any time by a Duelist and used at any time during either player's turn!" she explained.

Yuya's eyes widened, and he grinned. Action Cards would be on the course? Declan must have persuaded the Committee to allow the use of them. Jack Atlas had probably never seen an Action Card before, so . . maybe he had the advantage!

"But more on that later, because right now, it's time to start the duel!" Melissa shouted. "Ready!" A holographic red light appeared in front of Yuya and Jack and they both started their vehicles' engines. "Set!" she added, and the red light turned yellow. "Duel!" the commentator commanded, and rubber squealed as the D-Wheels burst forwards.

"For those who haven't attended a Friendship Cup Duel before, whoever reaches the first corner first gets the first turn!" the girl's voice echoed through the stadium. "Wait, what?" Yuya gasped, failing to anticipate this twist, as Jack confidently accelerated and his mono-wheeled D-Wheel expertly leaned to the side and curved around the corner, Yuya frantically instructing his motorbike to catch up with Jack. "It's my turn!" the King declared with a smile as he whizzed through the bend. "And Jack Atlas takes the first turn! So far, his prediction has been completely accurate!" the helicopter-riding Melissa narrated.

Jack drew his hand, and Yuya did the same, and the boy smiled at the sight of his ace monster in his hand. "We're show these people our Entertainment Duel, Odd-Eyes!" he promised himself. "And we're gonna win this to boot!" It may have been his imagination, but it seemed like one of his dragon's heterochromatic eyes glinted.

"My turn!" Jack declared, looking over his hand. "I will show you why I am the King! While I control no monsters, I can Special Summon Red Forward from my hand!"

A crimson metal warrior appeared next to Jack's D-Wheel and nodded to his Duelist. 900 ATK. "Now, I'll Normal Summon Force Resonator!" A squat gremlin wielding a tuning fork and dressed like a tribal shaman appeared next to Junk Forward, toting a runic black sphere on his back. "This is my strength! I tune my Level 2 Force Resonator to the Level 4 Red Forward!" Jack commanded. Force Resonator grinned with a maniacal glee and rocketed forward into the distance, decomposing into a pair of shimmering orbs in the process. The orbs vanished and were replaced by two shining holographic rings. Red Forward jumped up and flipped into the air, becoming a holographic set of lines, before bursting into another four orbs of light. A readout appeared, displaying '4 + 2 = 6'. "The crimson souls shall become one! All shall tremble before the king's might! Synchro Summon! Level 6 Appear, Red Wyvern!" A draconic monster appeared above Jack, with thick, leathery wings and two squat, muscled legs, coloured the tarnished crimson of a dormant volcano. "I set one card face-down and end my turn!" the man declared, sliding a card into the appropriate zone on his Duel Disk and ending his turn.

"My turn!" Yuya declared, drawing his card. "Yes!" he declared. "But, before the show can begin," he started, scanning the track ahead for an Action Card. "I Normal Summon Summoner Monk!" he declared, and a hooded figure wearing a large black cape that covered his body appeared behind him, his eyes wise and intelligent.

Jack paused as he realised what exactly Yuya had summoned, and cocked an eyebrow, staring at Yuya.

"That monster allows you to discard a Spell Card and Summon a Level 4 monster from your Deck!" the commentator explained. "But Yuya must not have any Spell Cards in his hand - so he's going for an Action Card he can discard to activate Summoner Monk's effect!" Jack's eyes widened as he heard this and he frantically accelerated after Yuya, but it was too late - the bubble surrounding the Action Card had burst and Yuya had added the Action Card to his hand. "Keep in mind, everyone, you can only have one Action Card in your hand at a time!" Melissa explained. "But that probably won't be a problem for Yuya!"

"You got that right!" the boy smiled. "By discarding the Action Spell Stand Up! I activate Summoner Monk's effect and Special Summon Performapal Skeeter Skimmer from my Deck!"

"Wow! Yuya's got two Level 4 monsters on the field already! But . . . neither of them are Tuner monsters? He can't perform a Synchro Summon!"

"Now, using the Scale 4 Performapal Trump Witch and the Scale 8 Dragonpit Magician, I set the Pendulum Scale!" Yuya shouted, and twin pillars of light rose into the air. In one, a cartoonish witch with a black visor covering her eyes and a patchwork dress appeared, and in the other, an elderly sorcerer with a large staff arrived, accompanied by large crystalline numbers of 4 and 8, respectively.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen!" Yuya declared, standing up on his D-Wheel. "I have come to show you my incredible Entertainment Duel! So, without further ado, what you're all been waiting for, the incredible Pendulum Summon! When I have Pendulum Scales set like this, I can Pendulum Summon monsters from my hand with levels in between the Scales! Therefore, I Pendulum Summon!"

A massive crystalline pendant appeared above him, between the pillars of light containing Trump Witch and Dragonpulse, and the word 'PENDULUM' appeared in rainbow-coloured letters on the blade of his Duel Disk. "Swing, pendulum of souls! Draw an arc of light across the ether!" Sure enough, the pendulum began to swing, first back and forth, then it started rotating in a circle, drawing a line as it went, until a massive portal opened up with the pendulum swinging around it at the speed of light. "Come forth, my monsters!" Yuya commanded. "Level 5! Stargazer Magician!" A white, hooded magician with a long, white-and-gold staff appeared out of the portal. "And the incredible, Level 7! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" The three monsters already on Yuya's field were joined by a massive monster, a red dragon with large horns protruding from it's back in place of wings, two massive legs that made it look like a dinosaur, a large blue orb in it's chest held in place by a skeletal harness, and two large horns on it's head that matched it's trademark mismatched, red and blue eyes.

"Whoa, four monsters in one turn! That's awesome!" Someone in the crowds exclaimed.

Jack rolled his eyes. "Are you done?" he questioned.

"Nope! Because now, I will activate Performapal Trump Witch's Pendulum Effect! Once per turn, I can Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck without a Fusion Spell Card, using monsters I control as Fusion Material! I fuse Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Stargazer Magician!" Trump Witch waved her wand from the Pendulum Zone and a swirling vortex appeared in front of Yuya's Pendulum Summoned Monsters. Odd-Eyes and Stargazer jumped into it. "One who controls the bizarre arts, become the light in the eye of the dragon! Fusion Summon!" Yuya chanted as a silhouette appeared in the portal. "Come forth! Arcane dragon wielder of ancient dragon magic! Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya declared, and fhe vortex disintegrated, leaving something that looked like Odd-Eyes but was different at the same time on Yuya's field. Rune-Eyes had some kine of monocle covering one of it's eyes and Odd-Eyes' horns had been replaced by two arcing pieces of gold, both in the shape on an omega symbol, one on the dragon's head and one on it's back. Rune-Eyes roared as a pop-up appeared, revealing it had 3000 ATK.

"Now, I overlay Summoner Monk and Performapal Skeeter Skimmer!" Yuya declared, and grinned as a spiral appeared between the two monsters, which sucked them in. "Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those who are foolish enough to oppress it! Descend now! Xyz Summon!" the boy commanded. "Rank 4! Dark Rebelllion Xyz Dragon!" A massive black dragon erupted from the portal, and roared. It too closely resembled Odd-Eyes, but massive wings were on the horns on it's back and it had no horns on it's head.

"I activate Red Wyvern's effect!" Jack shouted, and Yuya's eyes widened in surprise. "Once, while this Synchro Summoned card is on the field, I can destroy the monster with the highest ATK on my opponent's side of the field!" Red Wyvern roared and began to charge up a pulse of energy.

Yuya grinned as Rune-Eyes roared and Red Wyvern quietened down, cowed by the bigger dragon. "Wrong! During the turn Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon was Fusion Summoned using a Pendulum Summoned monster as Fusion Material, it cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects!"

"And now I activate Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon's effect! By using both of it's Overlay Units, I halve Red Wyvern's ATK and add that lost ATK to Dark Rebellion!" The two circling orbs around the dragon were snapped out of the air by the mighty beast and swallowed, and Dark Rebellion's ATK increased to 3700 while Red Wyvern's ATK halved to 1200. "Oh dear! Yuya has called out two extremely powerful dragons to beat Jack with, can the King still pull off his prophesied victory?" Melissa, the announcer, questioned from her perch in the helicopter above the stands.

This raised a massive muttering amongst the crowd. "Incredible! He might actually defeat the King!" This seemed to shock Jack, but the King maintained his composure and snatched an Action Card out of the air.

"Battle Phase! Dark Rebellion! Attack Red Wyvern! Mauling Mandible Charge!" Yuya commanded, and the dragon followed suit, destroying it's rival and dealing it's original ATK to Jack, leaving him with 1500 Life Points. "And get this! Rune-Eyes can attack three times per Battle Phase when it was Fusion Summoned using a level 5 or higher monster as the Spellcaster-Type Fusion Material! Rune-Eyes, go now! Shining Burst of Repeating Attacks!"

Jack's eyes widened. Rune-Eyes had 3000 ATK, he wouldn't survive this!

"I activate an Action Spell! Underworld Evasion!" he declared. "He mastered Action Cards that quickly?" Yuya gasped. "Underworld Evasion negates your attack and Special Summons an Underworld Evasion Token to my side of the field in Defence Position!"

Sure enough, a small ball of dark energy appeared. The omnipresent pop ups showed it to have 0 DEF. "Doesn't matter! Rune-Eyes! Attack his Token!" Yuya declared, and his dragon obligingly roared, attacking Jack's monster.

Jack was impassive as his Token was destroyed, leaving him with a field devoid of monsters, a single set card and a mere 1500 Life Points left. "Rune-Eyes! One last time!" the entertainer commanded. Jack pressed a button. "I activate my Trap! Reject Reborn! First, your attack is negated, and then can Special Summon one Tuner monster and one Synchro monster from my Graveyard! Revive, Red Wyvern and Force Resonator!" Jack commanded as his two monsters returned to the field, blocking Rune-Eyes. "And your attack is negated!" Jack crowed, and Yuya sighed. JackKing suddenly braked on his D-Wheel, slowing down and coming alongside the boy as he declared, "I end my turn!"

"An Entertainment Duel, you say? What rubbish! Your Duelling is merely self-satisfaction! Far from entertainment!" Jack derisively declared. "What?" Yuya gasped in surprise. "This is true Duelling for the people! My turn! I draw!" the King commanded, pulling a card from his Deck. "Now, I tune my Level 2 Tuner Force Resonator to my Level 6 Red Wyvern!" The smaller monster burst into twin rings of light, which Red Wyvern positioned itself within, before disappearing into six stars. A readout appeared on the boards, stating '2 + 6 = 8'. Jack chanted as a monster began to appear. "Howl of the ruler, shake the heavens and earth! Engrave the power of the one and only supreme ruler into yourself! Synchro Summon! Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!" he commanded as a hulking goliath of a dragon appeared on his field, with large horns, one of which was broken, and coloured to match hell. It's right arm was bound in a gauntlet of sorts, and it's long, spiny tail whipped behind it. It's haughty expression glared at Yuya's dragons, as if to question; "Are these the impudent youngsters who dare to think they have a chance against me?" A pop-up appeared, stating that Scarlight had 3000 ATK, on the same level as Rune-Eyes but not enough to beat Dark Rebellion's 3700. Yuya grinned. Jack's monster was powerful, but not enough to win.

Oh how wrong he was.

"I activate Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend's effect! Once per turn, I can destroy as many other Special Summoned monsters on the field as possible, and inflict 500 damage to their controller for each!" Jack proclaimed. "Now, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend! Absolute Power Flame!" Massive bursts of energy shot from Scarlight's maw, obliterating both of Yuya's dragons. The cards were blown from his Duel Disk and their edges hit Yuya in the face, giving him two very small paper-cuts. 500 damage was dealt to his Life Points for each. Yuya blanched at the realisation that he now had 3000 left, which was exactly equal to Scarlight's attack points.

"Attack now, my monster! Wipe this impudent youngster off the face of the map!" Jack commanded. "Flaming Crimson Hell Burning!"

"The King's prediction has come true!" Melissa shrieked. "How incredible!"

The last thing Yuya remembered was a voice dimly screaming, "Yuyaaaaaaa!" before a torrent of flame burst from Scarlight's mouth, throwing him clear off his D-Wheel. Seconds after he hit the ground, he blacked out.

So, funny story. I looked at the viewer count and realised that out of the 2,200 people who have visited this fiction recently, less than 15% were going beyond the first chapter. And, looking back at it, I can't blame them. It was horrible. So, I have completely overhauled it, so it should be much better now. ^^ Peace!
