REVISED AS OF (3/11/16)
~Pendulum of the Past and Future ~
I once was a normal person, I used to think that if I could just wing my way through life… Then maybe I'd be able to find and understand what I really wanted to be.
My name is Ash Ketchum. I've been searching far and wide, traveling through all regions and meeting new people.
I never expected that I would die in the field of battle… I never thought for a second that Lysandre would take everything away from us… Oh how I trusted Alan… He was an amazing person, an awesome Pokémon Trainer and loved his Pokémon ever so dearly.
But it was too late to change… He had gone to deep and couldn't come back and enjoy the presence of life... I never expected for that weird machine that Lysandre to just suddenly malfunction and blow up on us… So now, I travel the vast space of Limbo, I don't do much rather than walk, walk and…. Walk….
My life just became a dull existence. I lost everything, my friends, my family… My Pokémon… After the years of traveling, all for me to die in my preteens! I didn't even become a Pokémon Master…
And I didn't even get to say goodbye to all of my friends… It just happened… I just… DIED!
I was too focused on walking that I didn't register the presence of a really large centaur with a gray, vertically-striated underside. It kept following me, though I actually didn't register its presence, it kept following me like an idiot. Until it forced me to stop walking, forcefully turned me to look at his holy gracious appearance…
"Do you know how long I've been following you, you impudent worm?" Asked a, well…. Clearly pissed off gray centaur, a visible red tick mark appeared near his face, looking at me like I was ready to be killed though had a passionate sympathetic and empathetic face.
"Wow, I remember you…. You're…" I stopped for a second to remember the Pokémon's name. "Your name is Ceruas!"
I swear, what I just saw was the most amazing anime face fault in the world. The way the centaur's 'many' legs were spiked up in the air while his face implanted on the cold dark blue floor… Am I flying? Yep, the centaur threw me while face faulting.
I screamed at the sudden change in scenery, I was stopped midway before falling to the ground by a certain type of energy eluding from the centaur.
He looked at me with amusing eyes, with also an apologetic look added to the mix. "I can't believe the Chosen One would forget the name of the creator of the Pokémon Universe… Young-ling, my name is Arceus, do you recall?"
It actually took me a few minutes to remember…. "Oh yeah… You're that God Pokémon that I kept hearing about all the time when people are frustrated…" I said amusingly.
The huge centaur simply nodded its head with an amusing smile.
"That is correct; do you know why you are here?"
"Well, I'm pretty sure I died… So I guess I'm in either hell or limbo… Yeah that's pretty accurate isn't it?" I asked, pretty sure that I knew where I was, but just wanted to make sure.
"That is correct young one… Unfortunately for you, you are no longer in the world of the living… I am sorry that you had to die so young..."
There was a long silence. Ash analyzed the words correctly… "Did my friends make it?" I asked solemnly, praying to the God in front of him that they were okay.
"…I'm sorry to say that they did not make it Ash, no one made it. The explosion wiped out anything within a twelve-hundred-thousand mile radius… It destroyed most of the human populace, and Pokémon life will cease to exist in the next two decades… The world is broken..."
Ash clenched his fists. He was enraged that NO ONE made it out alive… Sure you could say that around a few thousand people survived… But there would be no way around it… Those one thousand individuals couldn't possibly make the world right again… Pokémon life was finished due to the explosions radiation, and the people alive would most likely finish them off as a mean to survive… The Battle of the Fittest, and whom would actually survive… The world he lived in now WAS broken, there was no way to make it right again…
"Why didn't you stop it…!? Why didn't you help us!? You're the creator of the Pokémon World! You should have known this was going to happen!" I yelled, tears pouring from my sockets, a burning rage boiling within.
"…Do you know the theory of Newton's Third Law of Physics?" Asked the centaur, ignoring the boiling rage that was building up…
"…No…" I said plainly.
"…In the Pokémon World, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction… Sometimes they are instant and predictable, like how you kick a ball and expect it to land. Or things like an unstable bomb that can blow up from within an hour to a second… What happened in there was something I could not prevent… I may be the creator but I cannot influence the decisions of the natural energy that resides in this world… When the explosion decimated the world… It was because the energy and components of the machine that Lysandre made was too unstable, so unstable that the energy needed to be released, so it created an explosion that wiped out the Pokémon World…" The centaur said with a sad smile, it too was hurt that the world that he created just suddenly… Ceased to exist…
"So what now, you're going to send me to heaven or hell? Because right now I don't seem to care, I just want out of here, I want to stop walking!" I said with an annoyed expression. Pouting and simply kicking a small rock that was nearby.
"No… I am not sending you to either plain of reality… You are needed elsewhere…" The centaur said, he sensed that I was about to retort, so he butted in. "You are the Chosen One, the one who is supposed to protect the Pokémon World, I am sorry that I failed in guiding you in the correct path… However, your expertise is needed in another universe…"
"Universe…? Not reality?" I asked.
"Yes, a world where Pokémon do not exist and the world is inhabited by beasts known as 'Duel Monsters', these creatures, from being cute to humanoid, or even being creatures that can make you shit out till the next year… Are all sealed within trading cards… Fortunately for them, the monsters have long lost the power to do collateral damage, so the humans who use these monsters are supposedly safe… I do warn you that there are a number of individuals who can tap into the cards power and actually do some serious damage… This is where you come in… You are to protect those who are in need of help… It may be something too much for old me to ask but I need you to do this… Your spirit is far too good to be in either heaven or hell…"
I took a long time to think of this, I really wanted out… I had dealt with years of training Pokémon that I just wanted it to end… Kalos was supposed to be my last adventure, I'd plan to settle down a bit, enjoy life and not having to worry about the world's problems… I still planned on traveling but I wanted a break… Too bad that Lysandre decided to be a little bitch and blow up the world accidentally. "Bah! Whatever! Tell me what the requirements are! This better be my last adventure because I really want to relax!" I said with a pout and playful angry expression, I was actually secretly excited about all this.
"Thank you Chosen One… To start off, you'll need a Duel Monster's Deck…"
"Great, I don't even have that!"
"Let me finish Chosen One… I have tapped into this universe's spiritual realm before I asked you to shoulder this dangerous task… I was able to acquire you some very talented Duelist as teachers for you Chosen One…"
Right on cue, a boy, maybe a bit older than he was appeared next to him he had tan skin, red eyes, and black and red spiked hair that points out and upward… He also wore a red vest with a white hood and a purple sleeveless shirt with a green "D" symbol. The teen also wore white pants with designs of three orange moon crescents attached to one another with yellow outlines at the bottom, a white brown-stripe belt, and black with blue streaks shoes with white straps. He also had a brown finger-less glove on his left hand, which to be honest, was kinda cool. The teen also had a black protective pad on his right elbow and a thick, dark blue bracelet with light blue gems and red outlines on his right wrist.
Next to him was a boy, slightly taller but with a somewhat feminine, but strong looking face. The teen had incorporated multiple layers of clothing… Though his hair… His extremely extravagant hair features multiple layers including long blond crooked, pointy locks for his fringe; the rest features a set of five large spikes and two smaller spikes colored black with a magenta sheen along the edges… Ash couldn't help but stare at his hair; it felt like his hair was struck by lightning.
"What's wrong with your hair?" I pointed at the taller looking teen. He held an amused face as he closed his eyes and simply chuckled. The boy with the black and red hair simply laughed and came close to me, patting my shoulders.
"Sup', the name is Yūma Tsukumo and the one with the weirder hair is named Yūgi Mutō… We're going to be your teachers!"
I slightly chuckled at the older teen's enthusiasm. I looked over at the older teen with three set of colored-type hair; he had an amused look and simply nodded. "We have been informed by your God that your world is no longer in function… I am sorry that this had to happen but some things are just inevitable… We will teach you how to effectively play the game of Duel Monsters… Yūma was chosen because he is the one who knows how to effectively play this game… As Duel Monsters has evolved to be more complex than ever before… And I was chosen because of my quick thinking and adaptability to the game… I may not know all the tricks of the new age Duel Monsters but with my quick thinking and Yūma's understanding of the complex Duel Monster's… We can be able to assist you greatly…" The older teen said as he closed his eyes. A few seconds later, Yūma also closed his eyes… Both extended their right hands, opening their palms, a bright white light then appeared, engulfing the darkness of limbo with light… When the light faded, cards had suddenly appeared on their hands… A few number of cards can be shown, at least each had like around more than fifteen cards… The huge centaur then spoke up…
"These two individual's will be in your subconscious, their spirits will be mixed with yours… Your deck will be a full on Spellcaster deck… A mixture of Yūma's Gagaga's and Yūgi's Magician monsters… Just one more thing… There will be an individual that shares a power similar to your own… Do your best to get along with him. Right now that individual thinks that he is the only one who owns this type of power…"
"What type of power do I share with this guy?" I asked, almost in a whisper.
"Pendulum..." Commented Yūgi, looking at my eyes…
"Pendulum…?" I directed my question to Yūgi; he nodded as he closed his eyes. He began his speech about the many different Summoning methods.
"In this world… There were once only three major summoning methods… Fusion, Synchro and Xyz… Now all of a sudden a new type of summoning method appeared… This boy is the original and will be the original… However you will have almost close mastery over this method… Even with me tapping into this methods energy… I was only able to make around seven Pendulum Cards… The original may be able to make more than twenty. Hell, he could even make hundreds if all I know…! Right now though, he only has around three Pendulum Cards, but with his energy flowing through the cards… I don't doubt that his entire deck will one day all turn into Pendulum Cards…"
"Wow… He sounds very skilled…" I said in awe.
"Fortunately for you, he's not…" Yūma added his two-cents, making me anime sweat drop… "He's still new to his own summoning method… I am actually kinda surprised by this method… As it opens doors to all summoning methods… You can Fusion without every Normal summoning… You can Synchro summon monsters like you can rip through paper… And Xyz summon as many monsters as possible… With the right hand, you can win duels in one turn! This summoning method is very broken…"
I nodded in awe. This method, even though I don't understand the game… I could identify when something was indeed powerful… 'And I own seven of these cards… Let's see how I play them.' I stopped to think for a second… "How do I play this game…?" I asked both of them. I then focused my gaze on two cards; one of them was a black card while the white one was pure white. Yūgi then started to explain.
"The white card is a Synchro monster… The way this card is summoned to the field is by having a tuner monster on the field, then combining it with a normal or effect monster. Both monsters then must equal the number of stars to that of the Synchro monster summoned… For example, you have a tuner monster that is level one… Then you have a normal or effect monster that is level three on the field… But you only have a Synchro monster that is level six… Can you summon the Synchro monster?" Yūgi asked me.
"Well… No, because if I tried, the number of stars would only add up to four, I would need two more stars… Wait! Then if I summoned a monster that is a level two, can I use them to summon the Synchro monster?" I asked.
"Yes, there is no limit to how many monsters you use, so long as it has the required added stars, and then it can be summoned. Some Synchro monsters require two or more tuner or normal monsters for some Synchro cards to be summoned… For the meantime, you'll have a simple level six Synchro monster called Explosive Magician. Read his effect later on." He then tossed me the card and I caught it flawlessly. I then focused my attention to Yūma who was holding the black card that seemed to look like a galaxy.
"This is a Xyz monster Ash. It's very similar to Synchro only that it does not require adding levels together; it actually requires at least two or more monsters with the same level to overlay together. For example, you have a Rank four Xyz card in your Extra Deck that requires two monsters that are level four, and you only have two level three monsters on your field, can you summon the Rank four monster?"
"No, I would need two monsters that are level four…"
"Exactly… Some Xyz monsters require a certain number of monsters, or a certain type of monster, there are many types of them, like for example Spellcaster's, Dragon's, Pyro, etc.… Or some Xyz monsters require a certain attributed monster… Each card has its own attribute… There are Light, Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Wind." He said.
"In the beginning of your turn, you can only Normal summon one monster per turn. However, with card effects, you MAY be able to Normal summon more than once… However, you can special summon as many monsters as you want, as long as you have the card effects necessary to Special summon those monsters… Fusion, Synchro and Xyz monsters are all considered Special summoned monster's… So you can summon as many as you want, as long as you have the cards necessary to summon them okay?" Yūma added once again, clearing my unasked question.
"This is actually a lot to take in… But I guess I understand it… What about Pendulum monsters? How do I summon them?"
Yūgi then stepped in. "This is where the game gets complicated… To special summon Pendulum monsters… You actually require two Pendulum monsters to enter the Pendulum Zone…" He then took two cards from the deck given to me. "These two cards are called Dragonpulse Magician and Dragonpit Magician… What difference do you see from this card?" He then took out a normal monster card. I gazed at it for a minute.
"Well it doesn't have the extra effect, and it doesn't look like a Pendulum card… So I can't summon that card with Pendulum summon…?" I asked.
"I'll answer your question in a bit. Dragonpulse and Dragonpit are specially designed Pendulum cards that are meant to be placed in the Pendulum Zone… You see the number 'one' on Dragonpulse? That is the Pendulum Scale for Dragonpulse. That means that you can summon a monster that is at least level two… Then comes Dragonpit, his Pendulum Scale is 'Eight', meaning you can summon monster's that are level seven or nine… When these two cards are placed on the Pendulum Zone, Dragonpulse and Dragonpit make a Pendulum Scale of one-through-eight, meaning you can summon any number of monsters simultaneously from level two-to-seven… Your limit of summons is actually five so choose wisely…" He said with a happy smile.
"…When you said that Dragonpit and Dragonpulse were Pendulum cards designed to go to the Pendulum Zone, what did you mean by that? So you can summon other Pendulum monsters from your hand?" I asked.
"You catch on quick… Yes, other Pendulum cards are meant to be summoned on the field… Dragonpit and Dragonpulse serve as conductors; their purpose is to act as spell cards that summon monsters by any means… I warn you some cards cannot be special summoned so Pendulum summon does not ignore its summoning conditions… With Pendulum summon you can Special summon any monster card from your hand, whether it's a Pendulum card or not… So yes, you can Special summon normal monsters as well…" Yūgi said once more.
"…This… This is a lot of information to take… I guess I can try it… It feels like restarting my Pokémon journey, only it got harder and it revolves a lot of cards…" I said, holding my head as it started to ache because all of the information…
"Hahaha…. Don't worry about it, when dueling…. This information just becomes a reflex and it becomes like a natural skill." Yūma said with a happy grin.
"Now that you know the overall basics of monsters… Now comes spells and traps… Traps cannot be activated the moment they are set, no matter what people or card effects say… Traps cannot be activated the moment they are set! You have to wait till the end of your turn in order to activate it, and once the turn it was set ends then you can activate it whenever your opponent activates an effect or simply attacks you or your monster… Depending on the card effect of the spell that is… There are Continuous Trap cards… Which last until they are destroyed! Counter Trap cards, which serve as countering the effect of a card or effect… Then there is the normal trap, which has a variety of effects… Spell cards are actually quite simpler. Normal Spell cards can be activated whenever you choose to activate them; you can set them on the field for later use or set them as a bluff against your opponent. There is also an Equip Spell card, which can be equipped to a monster on the field… There are continuous Spell cards, they act the same as Continuous Trap cards, then there is Field Spells, which go in the Field Spell Zone and act according to its effect." Yūgi explained, examining my facial expression and simply smiled.
'Okay so Spell cards and Trap cards are easier to understand… Nothing major that can fry my brain if I keep thinking of it too much…' I said in my head, nodding to myself then turning my gaze to both my teachers… "Give me some time to examine my new deck…" I said, gazing at my new Duel Monsters deck.
"Unfortunately, there is no time Chosen One… I am sorry to say this but your presence is needed this very moment… I have to warn you… When you arrive to this world, you not remember your past life, or the fact that you lived in the Pokémon world… You will remember me giving you one more chance at life and you will remember Yūma and Yūgi being assigned as your spiritual teachers… But you will never be able to remember your friends and your family… For your protection I must do this… I will place false memories into you… There is no need for this world to find out a human from a different universe going against evil… I need to protect the many realities of the Pokémon World… I am sorry for doing this, but this is a must…"
I looked at the centaur with a sad expression… Losing memories of my past life, my friends? Damn that really sucked… After all I've done and went through with all of them? It just suddenly vanished? "I know where you're trying to get at… Though it leaves a sour taste in my mouth I guess I'll have to live with not having any memories of the past… Better not have any then be tortured with the fact that I no longer have my friends around… I… I accept…" I said solemnly. I looked at my new spiritual teachers and they nodded at me. Suddenly a white vortex ripped open from the ground. I took the hint and jumped straight towards the vortex.
"…Wait you forgot to tell him that you'll be reincarnating his friends! He'll think he's known them all his life!" Yelled Yūma at the centaur! The centaur simply smiled at the energetic black and red headed tanned-boy.
"I know…"
~Pendulum of the Past and Future~
I yawned softly, feeling very drowsy… The soft and warm breeze of air hit me… The grass was so soft and cozy… I just didn't want to move from my place… It was very nice.
I opened my eyes, widened them and looked at my surroundings… I saw the beautiful meadow and the big trees… I was sleeping in the grass, overshadowed by the shadow of a tall tree… I stood up slowly and checked my surroundings… From on top of hill I was, I looked down to see the children playing on the playground and their parents taking care of them. It brought a smile to my face…
"I'm back!" I said in a low whisper. I took notice of something odd though, I had a metallic string attached to my neck, and it traveled down to my chest… I took notice of the odd Pendulum. It was a small golden reverse pyramid-like pendant with an eye in the center of one side of the triangle with golden curves and a ring on top… 'What is this?' I asked.
A voice then spoke from my head. "Don't talk; just simply voice your words in your mind okay?"
'Okay…' I said in my mind, thinking that this was supposed to be something related with telepathy…
"Good. The pendant in your neck is an addition to your clothing. It's a mixture of the Millennium Puzzle that sealed the Pharaoh Atem, and the Emperor's Key that had sealed the being name Astral… Back then when I played Duel Monsters I had a spiritual being named Atem… Same thing for Yūma who had a being named Astral from the Astral World… Don't think too much of it, me and Yūma are technically sealed in this pendant… But if you so happen to lose it, we'll still be able to contact you through telepathy and inform you where the pendant is located at…" Explained Yūgi, he reminisced at his old partner Atem… He and Yūma had shared pasts before so he could explain the other oddity of the pendant.
'That's nice and all but why does my right wrist feel heavier…?' I looked at my right hand; it was attached to something metallic.
"That looks like the new age Duel Disk... Looks different from the one I used back in Heartland…" A new voice flowed through my mind.
"If you think this is different, then you should have seen the ones we used back in Domino City!" Voiced Yūgi, very surprised by the modern age Duel Disk!
"Well you're pretty much like one-hundred years old already! Of course it would look different from what you had when you were a teen!" Teased the younger duelist who looked at him with a goofy grin… Yūgi just simply sighed and said something about how 'modern technology ruined the game flow of Duel Monsters.'
'Knock it off you two… I don't know where I am and I actually don't know where I'm supposed to be… Hell I don't even know where home is...' Both duelists stayed quiet. Yūgi was about to voice something when all of a sudden a voiced called out to him.
More specifically, Ash…
"Ash, Ash! Hurry up or we'll be late for the first day of school!" Yelled a feminine voice from down the hill, simply smiling at me with gracious and beautiful grey-blue eyes… The young girl was at medium height, a slim body with long, thick, mouse brown hair, with a side fringe falling across her forehead. She wore a scarlet tank top with a black undershirt, white short shorts with black Lycra mini-leggings underneath, yellow and black ankle boots with orange soles, a red and white bandanna or kerchief, a yellow-and-green small fanny pack that most likely held her deck, she also wore… What seemed to be a modern aged Duel disk in her left wrist!
'School, what school?' Though his thoughts were disrupted when the girl game jogging to the young teen and held his arm. He couldn't help but blush.
"Come on! We'll be late! I don't want to have a bad record no thank you! Geez Ash Satoshi Ketchum if you actually planned your future and stop trying to skip classes… Like when you skipped most of your Junior High classes… Then maybe you would actually have a good shot of getting a decent girlfriend! Girls like bad boys like you but they don't like failures!" The girl scolded the teen, Ash couldn't help but wince a bit at her words, and he then gave her a small chuckle and waved her off.
"I got it May… let's just go…" I said in defeat.
~Pendulum of the Past and Future~
'School is officially boring…' I groaned in my head, already pissed at the teacher for telling me to leave the classroom because I was being a bother to the class… I voiced my opinion in the matter but only got myself a room in detention… It was pretty boring.
"Has anyone ever gotten a future from going to school? I know I didn't." Asked Yūma, who had a confused and pondering expression, he also had a mischievous smirk.
"Now that you mention it, even I was King of Games and I never once actually learned anything in school! I mean all I remember was playing Duel monsters all the time and learning something about parabolas and angular velocity… I never used in real life because I was battling the world with my Dueling Deck…" Yūgi replied, thinking back if anything that the school ever teached them had anything to offer in life… Or if they actually had any real need…
'Do you think I'll get a good future if I behave and stay in school?' Asked Ash, who as busy trying to pretend doing some work the revolved around the study of Science?
There was a silent pause and Yūma and Yūgi then started laughing their asses off in his mind. He couldn't help but chuckle for no reason.
"I don't think that school is even necessary… I mean, if you plan to be a doctor then yeah I guess there's a reason to try your hardest… But according to the big centaur that sent you here… I think that your destiny is to protect the world with Duel Monster cards." Explained Yūgi who was trying his hardest to calm himself, like he had just laughed at a very funny joke…
'When you put it like that, it makes it sound pretty pathetic… I mean protecting the world with just measly cards that can summon badass monsters… Wow that actually does sound pretty badass…!' I said in revelation. I didn't notice the teacher telling me to leave because I had only been told to stay for two periods. I was awoken sharply and told to leave. I did so anyways and walked around trying to find the classroom that I was assigned to. When I entered the classroom I simply sat on my assigned seat and fell straight to dream land.
When I was waked up forcefully by the teacher, I gave him an annoying look and promised to 'pay attention' next time… In no later than a few seconds, a teen around my age who had crimson eyes, and dual-colored green and crimson hair of average length sticking out in downwards pointing spikes all around his head… He wore a simple red t-shirt with a thick, silver-buckled brown belt over it, green pants with what appear to be 'Deck pockets' on each leg, and magenta shoes, as well as crimson wristbands. He also wore a gold and red lined white school jacket over his shoulders like a cape. I also took notice of the pendant he wore…
"Sakaki Yūya! Stop loafing around and pay attention!" The teacher yelled at the young teen that flinched and simply laughed. He then was smacked by a huge fan; a pink haired girl had hit him. 'Okay so I should probably never talk to that girl because she'll probably hit me with it too…' I said with a scared expression on my face. I simply sighed and tried my best to pay attention. But my head was bonked by a text book. I yelped due to the sudden impact, I turned around with a frown at my face to see who hit me. I gazed my eyes on grey-blue eyes that pierced my soul. My face wanted to burn a bit but I controlled my facial expressions.
"Ash Satoshi Ketchum, don't you dare fall asleep in class! You promised me in the summer that you'd try harder in school!" The girl reminded, I simply scoffed and patted her soft hair.
"Whatever… I promise…" I said… 'Wait when did I promise that? I don't remember promising her that at all!'
She gave me a warm smile; I couldn't help but burn up a bit in my face. I directed my gaze to the board and saw something about cards.
"Ash Ketchum can you please read what's on the board." The fat teacher looked at me, wanting to see where I'm at.
"The Lost Cards…. Okay, so it says in the board that the Lost Cards were legendary cards used by the legendary duelists… It says there…. Joey Wheeler, the Jester of Games held the Red-Eyes Black Dragon and was known to be one of the top three duelists in his time… Then there was the Toon Deck made my Maximilian Pegasus who was known as the strongest duelist when he first created the game… He was known to be number five in world rank when the game first came out… Wait, why was he number five if he created the game?" I asked, and then suddenly I remembered that I had Yūgi as my spiritual teacher. "Never mind, I'll move on… Then there was Seto Kaiba who was known as the strongest Dragon duelist in the Duel Monsters world, coming second only to the King of Games, he had the powerful Blue-Eye's White Dragon along with his mastery with Fusion summoning, he was known as the Prince of Games… Finally there was Yūgi Mutō, who was known as the King of Games… It's said that he died with the title so no one ever achieved it. Wow, that means he is pretty strong… Anyway he had the famed Dark Magician in his deck and said he only lost one duel against Kaiba before the finals of the Duelist Kingdom…" Ash was pretty much surprised. 'So Yūgi never lost a duel after that…'
"That's not true… I've lost to a duelist named Imori… But I don't think anyone was there when it happened…" Yūgi commented in his mind.
'Still, only losing two duels in your entire dueling career? No wonder you were known as the King of Games!' I exclaimed in my mind. 'What about you Yūma?'
"I can't lie to you; I've lost pretty much ninety percent of my duels until I attained my Xyz cards… I pretty much started winning after that… Ugh…" I heard a distressed tone coming from Yūma; I couldn't help but feel concerned.
'Something wrong Yūma?' I asked him in concern.
"I've been trying to summon my card Number 39: Utopia so you can have it in your Extra Deck… But somehow I can't grasp it… It's just out of my reach… Maybe if I pour in more natural energy I may be able to summon it…" I heard soft grunts in my mind, guessing that Yūma was trying to do something.
"Gah, I almost had it! I'll try again later…" Yūma yelled sighing in defeat I could practically feel him laze around in the air.
"Strange… It seems that the cards I created didn't turn into Pendulum cards…" Recognized Yūgi, he was pretty interested. Did he not attempt to change the overall view of the card?
'Wait! So you're saying that my cards are simply normal! What the hell!? I practically had to be holding my head from exploding due to all the information that I was being given!'
"Stop being a cry-baby. I know I changed at least the overall look of the cards, maybe you just have to unlock them." Yūgi suggested, with his index finger pointing upwards to no specific location.
"Well I have to agree with Yūgi. Doesn't matter! Like I always said in the past! Kattobingu Ore (Let's bring it to them)!" I had to hold my ears in pain due to his loud voice booming through my ear drum.
'Sounds like an interesting catchphrase to say, but please don't scream it in my ear!'
"Hehehe, my bad…" He apologized.
I simply sighed and let the class do its thing. I got curious and checked my deck. I found that what Yūgi said was true, I had no Pendulum cards. Hell's even the cards he showed me, Dragonpulse and Dragonpit Magician were ordinary monster cards and really had no good use. I sighed and laid my head on my desk, a gentle tap on my head was felt.
"Satoshi you need to stop messing around! At least make it till lunch, which is also Dueling Period!" May said with a pout on her cute face, she huffed at my antics. I simply gazed at her curiously, she's mentioned me as 'Satoshi' a few times… Maybe it was a nickname.
"Hai, hai (yeah, yeah)…" I simply said as I laid my head on the desk, desperately trying to keep my eyes from closing… Didn't need to since in a matter of minutes the bell rung, my hand clasped against another's hand which was soft and very small… I took notice that it was May who grabbed my hand, without me even knowing it, I was already in the halls without any idea how I even got there. I was already at a panic since I was being lifted up the air at high speeds by my supposed friend.
"SLOW DOWN!" I yelled, but it fell on deaf ears as she kept running and swinging my body like a rag-doll.
~Pendulum of the Past and Future ~
"I'm sorry Satoshi! I just wanted to get early because it gets packed within minutes!" May said as she clasped her hands together in an apologetic manner. I simply waved it off.
"Let's get something to eat! I'm starving!" She said as she, for a few seconds, disappeared from view and somehow teleported near the lunch lady, already having her food in her plate.
'She works fast!' I acknowledged…
"She has quite the appetite, I've never met a girl who could eat as much as I can and still have that body! I mean she's what? Fourteen and she's already growing out of her C-cup!" Yūma acknowledged, if I was drinking anything at the moment, I would have water-spitted so amazing it would be known throughout world history. I simply blushed madly and stuttered at his proclamation. Didn't help that Yūgi also agreed with him.
"She definitely has the body of a girl leaving her teenage years… Lucky bastard…" Yūgi commented and smirked.
'STOP TEASING YOU ASSES!' They just simply laughed.
"We're just messing with you Ash, no need to scream at us through your mind… Damn these Duel disks are really sophisticated! Damn modern mechanization!" Yūgi said in mild annoyance.
"Stop whining! You're just butt-hurt that the game is far more complicated than before!"
"Of course I am annoyed of the games rapid change! Geez, kid duel now. I need to have a full glance at modern play."
'Fine, fine… Just stop arguing in my head.' I didn't get to say much because then I bumped into someone. I turned around and gazed upon a short boy with dirty blonde hair, with a black and orange jacket. He noticed the frown that the boy made.
"Watch where you're going Ketchum! I don't want to attract anything that came from the 'boonies'."
'Boonies!? Who does this guy think he is!?' Ash yelled inside his mind, Yūma and Yūgi had to hold their ears due to the massive pain in their ear drums.
"What? Cat got your tongue Ketchum? What happened to the tough guy in Junior High? Or was that just an act? Saying you're the best duelist around yet you never bothered to duel anyone! Ha, I bet you don't even know how to duel! That's why you don't even have a dueling record!" The teen stated, everyone feeling the tension between these two. A few students decided to huddle around in a circle.
"Of course I know how to duel!" 'Not really.' "I'll duel you any time! Uh…" I stopped a bit, I didn't know who this kid was. I noticed some people face fault, as if I've known this kid my entire life.
"How could you forget my name!? Stop trying to act cool and- wait you said you'd duel me?" The messy blonde haired teen asked, I simply nodded.
"Well this is a first… The mighty Ash Satoshi Ketchum had given in to the pressure… Everyone from last year will finally be able to see you duel…" He said to everyone in general. I could hear the mummers and whispers, 'Ash dueling? I got to see this!', 'No way! He's actually going to duel!?', 'I heard his dueling is legendary, I've got to see this!'…
'Wait, I've never dueled? I'm pretty sure I would remember something like dueling, I mean the world restarted right? I'm pretty sure I dueled even before I woke up right?' I didn't receive a response, only hesitant nods. I didn't think much of this and simply thought about things. I then felt a tug in my right shoulder sleeve and I met the pretty face of May, who had a worried expression.
"Are you sure about this? I mean…" She stopped and closed the distance between us, she then began to whisper in my ear. "You said that you don't know how to duel… You said that your skills are that of a rejected amateur… You don't have to force yourself into fighting." She told me in a low tone, she said for no one else but us to hear.
"Don't worry about it. I got this in the bag!" 'Not really…'
She looked at me with a worried expression, then she simply smiled at me and pulled me into a hug. "Kick his ass Sato-kun! He's had it coming ever since his undefeated winning streak the last year!"
'Undefeated winning streak? That's not good…' I sighed and simply let this happen. I knew I had took a bite that I couldn't chew.
"Alright…. Guy! Get set to get deck'ed!" 'Wow that actually sounds kinda cool. "It's time to duel!" 'That to!'
"The name is Trip! TRIP DAMMIT! Stop trying to be cool! Loser like you who's never dueled don't get to be cool!" Trip snarled and pulled out his modern aged due disk.
"This will be a normal duel, no Action cards or anything." Informed Trip.
'Action cards?' I asked.
"Don't look at me, I don't know what they are."
"Same here, there were never any Action cards in my time in Heartland."
I sighed and simply let it be, I wasn't dueling with said Action cards so there was no use to ask about it.
"Let's DUEL!" Both cried out in unison.
Ash – 4000 LP (Life Points)
Trip – 4000 LP (Life Points)
"I'll start things off first… I set one monster card face down in defense mode. And set two cards in my spell and trap zone… Ending my turn!"
"Alright… I draw…!" I pulled out a card from my deck, looked at it and…. Sighed… 'My entire hand is filled with Spells and Traps! I can't do anything this turn!' I sighed. "I place two cards in my Spell and Trap Zone, ending my turn!"
"I'm trying to access my Xyz cards… I can't seem to get a reach on them!" Said Yūma in panic.
"I can't transform the selected monster cards into Pendulum's at the moment… Sorry Ash but you'll have to endure this until one of us comes up with an answer."
'Great, so I have to do this with my own skill.'
"What no monster? Hah! Pathetic! I draw! I activate the Field Spell Fusion Gate! This Field Spell allows me to Fusion Summon monsters without the need of a Fusion Spell card! I flip my face down card Zombyra the Dark!"
Zombyra the Dark – EFF MNS - 2100 ATK : 500 DEF – LVL 4
"Next I activate the effect of Fusion Gate and use The Earth – Hex Sealed Fusion as its Fusion material!" He said with a smirk, everyone around his started to gasp. They then looked at me with worried expressions.
"Oh great monster from the depths of the sky, grant us the power you attained from your home planet! Yūgō Shōkan (Fusion Summon)! Appear, The Last Warrior from Another Planet!" With a sudden flash of light, a gargantuan alien with wires and a gun sticking out from his left shoulder.
The Last Warrior from Another Planet – EFF MNS - 2350 ATK : 2300 DEF – LVL 7
Effect: "Zombyra the Dark" + "Maryokutai"
When this card is Special Summoned, destroy all monsters on your side of the field except this card. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, neither player can Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Special Summon any monster.
Many had gasped in astonishment, according to what Ash was hearing; if you were able to Special summon a monster from your Extra deck… It meant you were an Elite Duelist… Or something like that.
"Then I activate the Equip-Spell card that I set before! I activate Axe of Despair and grant my monster and additional 1000 ATK points!" He yelled out as he placed the Equip-Spell card in the Spell/Trap slot in his duel disk.
The Last Warrior from Another Planet – 3350 ATK : 2300 DEF – LVL 7 (Equip Spell in use)
I gritted my teeth; I knew that this duel had just become a whole lot harder. And the fact that I don't have any actual cards in my field that can stop this made it a whole lot worse…
"Go! Last Warrior, attack him directly!" The monster loaded up his canon white a light bright light. He then released the charged energy and attacked me. The impact threw me a few meters away. 'THAT HURT.'
Ash – 0650 LP (Life Points) PERIL!
Trip – 4000 LP (Life Points)
"This is hilarious! The supposed famed Ash Satoshi Ketchum thought that his dueling was too good for common could be reduced to a 650 life points! You're a joke! And here I thought that you were a challenge!" He then smirked at me. "Don't bother even trying to summon a monster, you can't anyways… Last Warrior has an effect that prevents both of us from summoning more monsters! It's a deadlock!" He said with an evil smirk on his face, saying 'he's already won.'
'Geez, how am I going to get out of this?' I said with a frown on my face… 'I need a monster; it doesn't say I can't set it… I just need to defend my life points…'
"… I set one card in my Spell and Trap Zone face-down and end my turn." He said as a card appeared from thin air, and then disappears seconds later.
I gritted my teeth as I drew my next card.
~Pendulum of the Past and Future ~
'Sato-kun… Please… I know you can do it!' May clasped her hands together. She closed her eyes to pray for her child hood friend. 'I know you can beat Trip!'
"What is going on here?" May turned around, she met face to face with a girl with blue eyes, and dark pink mid-back-length hair, which she wore, tied up in pigtails, clipped down by blue, spherical hair clips. "Hīragi Yuzu is it? We have class together… To answer your question a duel brawled out with the supposed bad boys of my school…" May said solemnly, looking at the ground.
"Yeah I heard about Ash and Trip's reputation in my junior school, even though I went to a different school from you guys… Word gets around in all places of education… I heard that Ash was supposed to be a dueling prodigy and that Trip was in a duel gang before it got disbanded by your principal…"
"Well you got most of the things correct… Only one thing is off…" May said with a worried tone.
"What is off then?" She asked. May looked at her, and then she looked at Ash… She sighed and whispered to her ear.
"Sato-kun doesn't know how to duel… He's kept a façade of being a dueling prodigy because he didn't know how… I guess Trip must have pulled his buttons and he finally gave in to all the pressure." May whispered. Yuzu was astonished! She's always heard about Ash being a dueling prodigy. She was kind of worried now. Sure she never knew Ash personally, but he reminded her of her friend Yūya. To think that all this time, he lead on everyone he was a prodigy just to hide the fact that he doesn't know how to duel… She had heard about his father and mother who were prodigy duelist up and left him at birth… She really was enraged by this fact but she didn't know Ash to well. She couldn't judge because only he knew the reason behind it, and why he was never affected by it… Or so, not affected to the point of depression because he clearly doesn't do much work, despite only seeing him for one day…
She sighed and replied back to her. "If he didn't know how to duel then why fake it? She then gazed back at the duel and saw that Ash had placed a monster on face-down defense position. She guessed he was stalling for another turn.
"Don't blame Sato-kun for not being open… He was affected by his parent's departure that he just didn't know how to handle it… He was given a deck by his father but it was a rather complicated deck for him to understand… So he left it like that… He didn't want to get bullied by the students so he acted like he knew all about dueling, he only learned up to all the Summoning methods and decided it was best to start slacking… Most likely to add the effect that he already knew the rest…" She said in a low voice.
Yuzu simply nodded. She could empathize with Ash, her friend Yūya was the same, being the laughing stock of the school… He decided to be the clown and not having to worry about his father's image. Yuzu looked back and saw her childhood friend Yūya run towards her.
"What's going on Yu- WOW! Is that Ash dueling? The one who was said to be a dueling prodigy," He said with a smile, he then looked at the board correctly and saw that Ash was indeed losing the duel. "What's going on?"
"Ash and Trip had a fall out and are dueling. Trip has in a summon deadlock because of his monster…" She looked sadly at the duel and watched as a monster known as Big Shield Gardna get struck by a massive torrent of pure energy, leaving Ash's field defenseless. She watched as Trip eagerly place one card in his Spell/Trap Zone and end his turn, not before taunting Ash about being weak and other things that she didn't want to mention, she frowned at the messy blondes hurtful words.
"That was a monster with high defense… And with Trip's monster both having them on a summon deadlock, none of them can summon a monster, only set them…
"Come on Prodigy Ash Ketchum! It's your turn!" Taunted Trip who watched him hesitantly draw his card, he couldn't help but laugh.
Yūya couldn't take it anymore; he got a bit closer to Ash and absorbed some air. "HEY! Stop messing around and beat this guy! You're known to be a prodigy even though you don't have a dueling record! Beat this guy!" Yūya yelled and gave him a smile and thumbs up.
Ash just looked at him with a wondering expression. He didn't know what to think, he hadn't even looked at the card he drew yet.
"Yeah, listen to the kid Ash! You just have to bring it to them!" Yūma said in his mind, Ash looked at Yūma for a split second then looked at Yūgi.
"He's right Ash, don't give up! Believe in the heart of the cards! Believe in your dueling and in your deck!" Yūgi commented in his mind. Ash's gaze turned slightly more serious than it was before… Then he smiled brightly and looked at Yūya. "Thanks for the support! I got this," Ash then gave him a thumb's up and looked at his cards. I pondered up for a bit then smiled. 'Thank you, Yūma, Yūgi…' He said in a thankful tone, they just simply nodded at him.
"Alright, no more games! Time to get serious! I set one monster face down in defense mode, and then I set two cards in my Spell/Trap Zone and end my turn." He yelled out as three cards appeared then disappeared in a matter of seconds.
"Serious? You just set three cards and ended your turn! Pathetic! I draw!" He yelled out and looked at his card. "I set one monster face down, then I attack your face down card!"
"Not so fast! I activate the Trap card Negate Attack!" I yelled out, a red card appeared that looked like a windmill with several different colors. "With this card I can target end the battle phase of this turn!" I said was a windmill appeared and started blowing a massive gust of wind at The Last Warrior.
"I don't think so, I activate the Trap card Face-Off! When a Spell, Trap or Monster effect is activated during the damage step I can negate the effect of the card and destroy it!" With that set, Negate Attack was then shattered and sent to the graveyard. The attack continued and revealed a monster by the name of Gagaga Magician, it was promptly sent to the graveyard.
"Ash use that card!" Yūgi called out.
'Why? It'll be useless for this turn!'
"Don't question Ash just use it!" Yūma yelled out.
'Uh… Okay.' I then activated my second Trap card. "I activate Breakthrough Skill! With this card I can target one card effect monster on the field and negate its effect until the end of the turn!" I yelled out as a red card appeared with what seemed to be a white dragon breaking through a yellow and red glass wall.
For a moment everyone gasped and had very hopeful expressions. I didn't know why since this effect was pretty much useless because it will only last for one turn.
"I activate *Earth Illusion! When an Earth-attribute monster is targeted by a card effect, I can negate the activation and destroy it!" A red card appeared and with no hesitation, a bright light tried shattering the card Breakthrough Skill.
"Quick Ash, activate your other Trap!" Both yelled out.
'I don't see why your making me do this because I could be using these cards for other purposes!'
"JUST DO IT!" Both yelled out again.
"I activate Trap Jammer! When my opponent activates a Trap card during the damage step, I can negate the activation and destroy it!" I yelled out quickly as what seemed to be a pentagram appear below the card Earth Illusion and try to destroy it.
"Tsk! No you don't, I activate the Trap card Counter-Counter! When my opponent activates a Trap card during the damage step I can negate the activation and destroy it!" With no more counters on his side, and either on mine, all chains in the Trap department were sent to the graveyard.
'Tsk… I lost all of my Trap cards and lost Gagaga Magician in the end…' I said with an annoyed expression, I then looked at both Yūma and Yūgi who looked very determined. 'Oi, why are you two smiling!? If you haven't noticed I lost all of my back-row!'
"You haven't noticed it?" Asked Yūma.
'Notice what?'
"We just tricked your opponent into using all of his back-row…" Yūgi added his two-cents. I then took notice of my opponent, then I was hit with a realization! 'Wait! You made me fake-out my opponent! Breakthrough Skill can also be used during the graveyard!' I then looked at my cards… 'Monster Reborn, Pot of Benevolence, Double or Nothing… I need to win the next round! There's no way out of this!'
"Calm down Ash… You can win this. You just got to bring it to them!"
'Please spare me the bullshit! I don't think I can win next round! Oh my Ra in so damn nervous… What if I don't draw the right card!?'
"Ash, you need to calm down…" Yūgi said. "Believe in the Heart of the Cards and like Yūma said, bring it to them!"
I stood there in silence… My hand shaking in fear, I didn't mind losing but I just didn't want to lose in my first try…
"Sato-kun!" I turned around and saw the prettiest grey-blue eyes. I hadn't seen it before but she really did have a pretty face, the red bouncing off the sun rays as she showed her elegant beauty. "You can do this Sato-kun! You have to believe in yourself! I believe in you, I know you can win!" She yelled out. She had a determined look in her face and gave a dazzling smile.
"You can do this Ash! We all believe in you!" Yuzu yelled out and gave me a small smile, waving her left hand at me.
"Show this loser what a prodigy can do Ash!" Yūya yelled out with a toothy grin.
For me, time slowed down for a while, I don't know… But I felt like I was standing there for hours… In reality I was actually just gazing at them for a second… But it felt like hours… Nobody noticed the sudden flash in my Extra Deck; I was actually surprised by the sudden flash that I had to cover my eyes. When the light faded I looked towards the direction Yūma and Yūgi were… I then noticed Yūma extending his right hand towards the sun; he then gazed at me and gave me a warm smile.
"Ash," he looked at me with a determine smile.
I looked at him, nobody really noticing because time really did stop for a second… Don't ask how…
"Win this duel, and bring it to them!"
I closed my eyes… It felt like an eternity… I felt the formula
"Boku no Tān…! Dorō (My turn… I Draw)!" I swiped the selected card from my deck, leaving an invisible air trail. I looked my card, just by a mere glance; and I had already constructed a winning formula!
"I activate the Trap card from my graveyard Breakthrough Skill!" Within a fraction of a second a dark purple pentagram appeared and opened up a suction of space. The red card Breakthrough Skill appeared for a mere second before ripping apart and evaporating into the air. "I can activate the effect of Breakthrough Skill again by banishing it from my graveyard, which means that your monster can no longer uphold its effect!" I yellow and red beam shot from the air and attack the monster, it didn't do anything other than loosen his color a bit.
"Big deal, my monster is still at 3350 ATK points! There is nothing you can do to destroy it!" Trip said with a cocky tone and with a smirk.
"I activate the Spell card Monster Reborn! And that lets be bring back a monster from my graveyard! Appear, Gagaga Magician!" In a sudden flash of light, a white haired magician with various chains appeared into battle.
Gagaga Magician – EFF MNS - 1500 ATK : 1000 DEF – LVL 4
"Then I normal summon Gagaga Girl from my hand!" I said as I summoned a magician girl who was barely out of her teens. She waved around a bit before sending me a wink and a small heart escaped her cute lips.
Gagaga Girl – EFF MNS - 1000 ATK : 800 DEF – LVL 3
'Did Gagaga Girl just wink at me? What the hell?' I asked but shook away my thoughts. "I activate the effect of Gagaga Girl! When she is summoned, I can target another Gagaga monster in my field and Gagaga Girl becomes the level of my other Gagaga monster!" With that said, Gagaga Girl's level had increased by one.
Gagaga Magician – EFF MNS - 1500 ATK : 1000 DEF – LVL 4
Gagaga Girl – EFF MNS - 1000 ATK : 800 DEF – LVL 4
"Wait… Two monsters with the same level…" Yūya said out loud, many thought the same thing too, though they decided to keep it to themselves.
"No way," gasped May and Yuzu, this would be the first time they witness it in school!
Somewhere nearby, a small boy wearing a blue academy jacket and having light blue hair snarled but decided not to do anything, he didn't want to risk being caught spectating a battle.
"I overlay my level four Gagaga Magician and my level four Gagaga Girl to construct the Overlay Network!" I said as both my monsters then shined into two different bright lights and entered into a galaxy like portal that appeared right before they landed, a small white explosion filled in after they entered.
"Almighty warrior of light, please descend from your throne and bring me victory in this fight. Illuminate the darkness with all your might, and defeat all enemies with your light! Ekushīzu Shōkan (Xyz Summon)! Behold the Guardian and King of Peace! Arise, my very Soul! King of Wishes, Utopia!"
A white and golden armored warrior appeared from the galactic portal, swinging his sword around before descending to the ground below.
King of Wishes, Utopia – Xyz EFF MNS – 2500 ATK : 2000 DEF – RANK 4 – 2 Overlay Unit(s)
Effect: 2 Level 4 monsters
When any player's monster declares an attack: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the attack. When this card is targeted for an attack, while it has no Xyz Materials: You can discard one card from your hand and negate the attack; if you do, send this card to the Extra Deck at the end of the Damage Step.
"That's an Xyz monster!" A teen cried out in astonishment.
"No way, Ash truly is a prodigy if he has a Xyz monster!" Another teen added his two-cents into the already amazed crowd.
"I heard that in LDS, if you're in the Xyz course then you're practically an Elite!" A girl cried out in a very fan girlish way. Ash didn't mind, but he really didn't want any fan girls chasing over him.
He heard clap, then another. He then directed his attention towards Trip who was congratulating him, in a mocking way of course. "Great job, you managed to pull out a very complicated Summoning method… Not all of us are skilled in that department… However, if you look correctly… Last Warrior has an attack strength of 3350…. And your monster has an attack strength of 2500… Your monster would just blow up in front of you…" He said. Everyone then looked at me with a pitiful expression; they thought that I had made a mistake. I just simply smirked…
"You shouldn't count people out just because of the overall strength of a monster! I activate the effect of Gagaga Girl! When she is used as Xyz Material with another Gagaga monster, I can target one Special summoned monster my opponent controls and reduce its attack to 0!" With that said… Gagaga Girl appeared as a transparent figure and unleashed a white beam that did nothing to the monster, but altered his overall base strength.
The Last Warrior from Another Planet – 0000 ATK : 2300 DEF – LVL 7 (Equip Spell in use)
"No way," Trip yelled out in pure horror! He then calmed himself down and relaxed, he could just activate a spell card to bring back Axe of Despair and Special summon Last Warrior with the Monster Reborn that he has in his hand.
"Go, Utopia! Attack his monster!" And so he did… Utopia flew straight into the monster readying his attack.
"DO IT NOW ASH!" Both Yūma and Yūgi yelled out, Ash didn't need to hear it twice as he smirked.
"I activate the effect of King of Wishes, Utopia! When a monster is attacked or when Utopia is attacked, I can detach one overlay unit to negate an attack! I detach one unit to negate Utopia's own attack!" I yelled out!
Utopia then stopped his attack and brew out his metallic wings. "Moon Barrier," Utopia screamed as he halted in place.
"WHAT!?" Everyone gasped! Has Ash gone mad!?
"What's this!? Did you just seriously stop your own monster's attack! What a pathetic fool! Hahaha," Trip taunted…
But Ash wasn't hearing him he was to focus into his own duel. "Kattobingu Ore (Let's bring it to them)!" Ash yelled out as he activated his last card. "I activate my Quick-Play Spell card Double or Nothing!" Ash yelled out as a green card with what seems to be a lottery machine throwing away coins like nothing. "When a monster's attack was successfully negated, I can activate this card to double the monsters attack and let them attack again!" He yelled out.
King of Wishes, Utopia – Xyz EFF MNS – 5000 ATK : 2000 DEF – RANK 4 – 1 Overlay Unit(s)
"WHAT!?" Trip finally gasped out. "T-THAT MEANS…!"
"Utopia! Attack now, Rising Sun Slash!" Ash yelled out as Utopia once again resumed his attack, except with double the power! Utopia had cut in half The Last Warrior like a sheet of paper, making the monster explode.
"NO!"
Ash – 0650 LP (Life Points) PERIL!
Trip – 0000 LP (Life Points) LOSER!
WINNER, ASH SATOSHI KETCHUM!
There was complete silence for a few seconds… Then the whole school (except for a few) where screaming and cheering, those who were dueling had stopped to just witness a Prodigy and a Fusion duelist duke it out. They were completely satisfied with that. That had been the best duel in their lives!
"You did it Sato-kun!" May ran straight at me and hugged me. I blushed at first, but then she was hugging a bit too tight, I was running out of breath.
"C-can't… Breathe… May…" I wheezed out before passing out.
"Oh no," May cried out.
"Don't worry, you didn't kill him!" Yuzu said bonking the girls head.
"I know… I was just so excited I didn't notice."
"Don't worry about it. Yūya help May carry Ash to the nurse… Dueling period is almost over so let's go any ways."
"Hai, hai (Yeah, yeah)…" Yūya said deductively.
From a distance, the same young boy with light blue hair and dark blue jacket jumped down to the ground. He tsk'ed and simply bit the lollipop that he had in his mouth.
"Seems that the Xyz remnants have already made it here… I have to take him out when no one is looking…" The boy said, as he then vanished within the shadows…
