Hello again! First I'd like apologize for any errors you see in Chapter 1. I'm having trouble fixing them as I'm writing this on a different device and not a computer.

I'd like to say thanks to those who have Reviewed and Favorited this. Now without further a do here's Chapter 2.


Ash groaned as the sunlight poured through the windowsill. He looked around and noticed he was on a hospital bed. Laying next to him was his Millennium Puzzle, his bag filled with extra sets of the same clothes he was wearing and sticking out of it was a device was a dark blue body with blue markings. In the center of it was a blue orb.

(Basically the Duel Disk Kaiba used in Darkside of Dimensions.)

"So it wasn't a dream." Ash mumbled looking at the device.

"Aw, don't tell me you were unhappy to see Mahad and I Ashy?" A female voice spoke startling Ash off the bed.

Looking up Ash saw the Spirits of Pikachu, Mana and Mahad who were all grinning.

"Very funny. Ash mumbled at the now laughing spirits. How did I get here anyways?"

"Well after Arceus dropped us off, we landed in the middle of a park and you collapsed from exhaustion. Mahad answered. A women walking her dogs found you and brought you here."

At this Ash nodded feeling grateful for that women' help. Now putting his Puzzle around his neck while taking the device out of his bag he starred curiously at. Noticing Ash's curious look at the device Mahad decided it was best Ash understand how to use it.

"That device is called a Duel Disk. Mahad told the curious young man. It is an instrumental item in a duelists life."

"Oh, so this is what duelists use to duel with." Ash said thinking about the instrumental part Mahad said. His eyes widened as he frantically searched for his decks pouring the clothes out of his bag.

Seeing their master's frantic and scared expression, Mana was quick to explain.

"Master Ash, calm down! If your searching for your cards they are in the Duel Disk." She shouted turning Ash's attention to her.

" Oh." Ash said nervously looking at the mess he made.

Mana and Mahad could only sigh at the way Ash reacted and knew it's best to tell him how to operate the Duel Disk before he somehow breaks it.

"Alright Ash you can clean this mess up later, but first let me tell you how to work your Duel Disk. Mahad to the ravenette. You see your Duel Disk, put it on your left arm." He instructed.

Ash doings as he told hooked the Duel Disk to his left wrist. "Like this?"

"Yes. Mahad nodded. Now say Duel Disk on."

Ash doing as he was told said. "Duel Disk on."

The moment Ash said that, the blue orb on the Duel Disk glowed and a Blue Screen popped up. Ash could see many icons like a computer screen. Surprised, Ash looked at each icon seeing ones such as Web, Documents, Phone, but one icon caught his attention most.

"Card album?" Ash wondered, could that be where his cards are at.

Touching the icon the screen changed showing a database full of cards that he owned.

"Good, you understand where to access your cards." Mana smiled.

Pikachu, curiously jumped upon Ash's shoulder for a closer look.

"But how are my cards in a virtual space?" Ash questioned. Back in the Void with Arceus he held their actual cards.

"You see Ash, your Duel Disk is one of a kind. It contains it's own storage system where it can store cards in a virtual space. You can even organize your cards into multiple decks and choose which deck you can use for your Duels. You also don't have to worry as your Duel Disk has been added to the system so you can compete in tournaments. And it is hackproof." Mahad told Ash.

"Basically it's was Kaiba's masterpiece." Mana said cheerfully.

"Kaiba's masterpiece?" Ash questioned, so this wasn't his Duel Disk.

At this Mana smirked. "Yep, it may not seem like it, but this was Kaiba's gift to you. Though he may deny it if we see him again."

Ash smiled thankful for the help of his Spirits as well as Kaiba and Yugi.

"Well I guess I better clean up this mess." Ash said looking at the clothes he threw around.


(Later)

After Ash finished cleaning up he checked out of the hospital, but first asking if they could tell the person who brought him there thanks if she stopped by.

(A few minutes later)

After walking out of the hospital Ash and Pikachu were amazed at how beautiful and technological the city was. It was like a combination of the Beautiful Greenfields and Technological LaRousse City back home.

"Well Ash, what do you think of Miami City? Mana asked the awestruck boy.

"It's beautiful." Ash mumbled.

"Chaa." Pikachu nodded.

(One Hour Later)

Ash, after exploring the city and enjoying the sights was sitting on park bench feeling the calm breeze. Spirit Pikachu sitting next to him. Though Ash couldn't help but feel a odd feeling like something happened and Mana was the reason. (See Omake)

"So, enjoying the excursion of the city." Mana said sitting next to him.

"Yeah. Ash nodded. This reminds me back in the other world, I was always excited to see new places. Though what's with all the advertisements show Duel Schools, are they schools on dueling?"

"Yes, Duel Schools are famous in Miami City. They help Duelists hone their skills and set them on the path to becoming a Pro Duelist. Mana informed Ash.

"Thank you Mana." Ash told before noticing something. Ash turned his attention to Mahad who has been quite this whole time.

This entire time Mahad has felt another presence in the area and and narrowed his a moving cloaked figure. Noticing her face, "(That girl, could she be...)" He thought.

"Mahad, is something wrong?" Ash asked curious as to why he's been so quite.

"It's nothing." Mahad spoke turning his attention to Ash before noticing Ash's Millennium Puzzle glowing.

"(Is it reacting because of her presence.)" Mahad thought looking back at the figure.

Pikachu sensing where Mahad's discomfort was coming from took off after the figure causing Ash to jump off the bench in surprise.

"Pikachu!" Ash exclaimed at the way Pikachu ran off before taking off after him with Mahad and Mana by his side.

(After some time.)

Ash found himself in a trashed ally way looking area under a highway. (Basically the same place Shun appeared and took out the three LDS people.)

Pikachu sensing his friend behind him climbed on his shoulder, while Ash noticed his Puzzle Glowing.

"Come out, I know your still in the area." Ash said aloud with a serious look.

"How did you know I was still here?" A female voice spoke out before the cloaked figure walked out. Ash got a good look at her, , he couldn't see her face clearly with her hood still up, but noticed she had Green Eyes, underneath the cloak she wore a teal coat with a yellow stripe and green-and-yellow star emblem on the right sleeve that reaches above her knees. And her left wrist was a Duel Disk with what pink shield-like body. From what Ash could tell, she was perhaps a year younger than him.

"My Millennium Puzzle has been sensing someone in the area and your presence felt off." Ash answered.

The figure narrowed their eyes at the object around Ash's neck. "(That necklace of his, it reminds me off something I've seen, but where? And why is my Bracelet glowing as well?)" Were her thoughts as she hid her bracelet under her cloak.

"Still, why we're you following me?" She demanded.

"Well it's a sunny day out and I was curious about why some mysterious girl going around wearing a cloak." Ash said nonchalantly getting a snicker out of Pikachu.

"You, are you an Xyz user?!" The girl exclaimed getting in a stance to duel.

Ash widened his eyes at the question. "Wait, what's with the change of questions now? Besides, what does it matter if I use Xyz or not?" He said taking as step back.

"It matters because it will finally prove myself to the Professor! No ready your Duel Disk!" She said activating her Duel Disk.

"Ash are you really going to accept this?" Mana said worried as Ash activates his Duel Disk showing a Blue Blade.

"It's not like I have any choice now." He grumbled.

Seeing his Duel Disk, many thoughts started to go through the girl's mind, "(That Duel Disk is different, where is his deck? Doesn't matter, that Duel Disk has got to prove he's the Xyz remnant.)"

"Well, well. I have finally found you miss Slifer Slacker. And your hanging around another ruffian. A voice spoke out making Ash and Serena drop their stances and Duel Disks. Stepping into the was a Man, or was it a woman, or some kind of clown? Anyways, the person wore a blue overcoat-like uniform with golden trimmings and a ruffled pink collar, shoulders, upper chest, and sleeves. He/she had blond hair tied in a long ponytail with crescent moon earrings and had purple lipstick.

"She a friend of yours?" Ash questioned causing the girl to stumble.

"The Professor is losing his patience young lady and sent me to drag you back." The he/she said ignoring what Ash said but had a small tick mark.

"Not yet, I still got to prove myself! She yelled. I'm not going until he finally acknowledges my strength!"

"Why must make things so difficult miss slacker? The he/she sighed. I guess I'm going to have drag you back young lady, hopefully he'll let me decide your punishment this time. The he/she grumbled the last part.

The girl was ready to defend herself, but was surprised when Ash walked in front of her putting his arms out in a protective way. "What are you doing." She asked surprised as to why her target was getting in between her and the He/she.

The He/she stopped walking and narrowed his/her eyes at Ash. "Get out of the way, this doesn't concern you young man."

Ash shook his head. "I don't know what's going here, but I'm not just going to let some creepy she-clown come in and take a girl against her will."

As he said this the girl's eyes widened and gasped at the way he addressed the he/she, while Pikachu and Mana broke down laughing, Mahad just sighed.

Hearing the insult Ash just threw, the he/she gained multiple tick marks. "Creepy she-clown. The He/She muttered. How dare you, I'm a man!" The now revealed man yelled.

Ash's eyes widened at this revelation before turning back to the girl. "That purple lipped freak isn't a woman!" He exclaimed in shock.

"That does it brat! I will not stand here and be insulted by a child! I wanted to do this a clean as possible, but you forced my hand! Ready your Duel Disk, miss Slacker you stay right there after I finish this young upstart. The man roared with anger.

"Congratulations, you just managed to piss off the Vice-Chancellor of my school." The girl sarcastically said with half lidded eyes.

"Great." Ash muttered. Just what he needs, another Misty prodding at his mistakes.

Ash got into stance activating his Duel Disk, while the man in front of him readied his Duel Disk which was a white version of the girl's.

"My name is Ash, can I get the name of the freak I'm dueling or do I got keep calling you She-clown?" Ash asked wanting to know who he's facing.

"Ah Ash, what a perfect name for that's what will be left after I'm done with you. Though if you must know my name is Dr. Vellian Crowler. The now revealed Dr. Crowler sneered.

"Well, what about you?" Ash questioned turning his head to the girl behind him.

"Me? If you want to know, it's Celina." The girl identified herself.

"Now that the instructions are out of the way let us move on to your immediate defeat." Crowler sneered once more.

"Alright, Ash you just dragged yourself into this mess so you had better had taken those lessons to heart." Mahad spoke to the young duelists.

"Remeber, you have us by your side." Mana said gaining a serious look on her face with Pikachu hanging off her shoulder.

"Let's do this!" Ash grinned

"Yes, let's." Crowler grumbled.

"Duel!" Both Duelists shouted.

Ash Lp: 4000 Hand/5

Crowler Lp: 4000 Hand/5

"Seniority rules young man, I shall take the first move." Crowler said picking a card out of his hand. "I activate the Continuous Spell Ancient Gear Engineer Plant. With this card if I control no monsters, I can summon a Lv 5 or 6 "Ancient Gear" monster from my hand. So I summon Ancient Gear Beast. A mechanical sabertooth tiger appeared on the field in face up attack position." (Atk/2000 Def/2000) "After that I'll be placing down one face-down card and ending my turn." Crowler said with a smirk. Hand/2

"Well I guess It's my move." Ash said placing his hand at the deck slot. "Draw!"

Celina looked at Crowler and back at Ash, curious as to how Ash will make a counter to Crowler's Beast. "(Let's see what you can do Ash.)"

Observing his hand Ash grinned at the move he has in mind. "(Let's hope this works.) I activate the Spell Card Phantasmal Beast Fusion, with it I can Fusion Summon using monsters in my deck who have the name Phantasmal in it. Ash said causing Celina and Crowler to widen their eyes in shock.

"Fusion Summon!" They both exclaimed in shock.

"Yep, so I'll be Fusing the Gazelle the Phantasmal Beast King and Berfomet the Phantasmal Demon in my deck." Ash announced sending the two virtual cards from his deck to the graveyard. Suddenly a swirl appeared behind Ash. "Two Phantom beings! One of the Wild and one of Hell come together to become one! Fusion Summon! Let your roars be heard! Level 6 Chimera the Phantasmal Beast Lord!" A retrained version of Yugi's Chimera appeared, it had a similar appearance, but it's body was more phantom like and it's wings were purple. (Atk/2100 Def/1800)


(In a Disclosed Location)

An alarm started to blare. On a massive screen the name of a Summoning Method appeared. "Sir! We're picking up some Fusion energy!" A male worker cried out.

A male teenage narrowed his eyes at the Summon Method. He wore Red glasses, a long red scarf and long sleeve blue sweater. "Is it that Fusion Duelist we've been keeping an eye?" He asked.

"No sir, here take a look." The worker said showing a screen with Chimera in play.

"Why it's just one Fusion Monster!" The man next to the president exclaimed. "Surely this is just a mistake."

"No his Fusion Summon showed large amounts of Fusion Energy." The worker said causing the President's eyes to narrow.

"Can you get me his data." He asked pushing his glasses up his face.

"We"re already on it sir." The worker said.

"Good." The president nodded. Now is this unknown duelist a friend or foe.


(Back at the Duel)

"A Fusion Summon." Celina mumbled wide eyed, was she wrong about this guy.

"(So this punk actually knows somethings.)" Crowler thought biting back a growl.

"I actually did a Fusion Summon." Ash breathed to himself.

"Congratulations Ash, but you can't stop there, you know what to do." Mahad encouraged.

"Yep." Ash nodded. "Next I'll be playing the Equip Spell Phantasmal Wing and Equip to my Chimera." Chimera roared as its wings glowed a brighter purple. "Now my Chimera gains an extra 500 Atk points. (Atk/2100+500=2600)

"Not bad." Celina smirked. (It's just his first move and he already performed a Fusion Summon and has a monster with 2600 Atk points.) She thought impressed.

"Now Chimera, attack Ancient Gear Beast with Phantasmal Pounce! Chimera glowed in a purple light and leaped towards the mechanical tiger crushing it. 2600-2000=600

"Gah." Crowler shrieked as Chimera's twin heads roared in his face.

(Crowler Lp: 4000-600= 3400).

"Lucky move." Crowler snarled. "But I have a trap. I activate the Continuous Trap Ancient Gear Reborn!" When an "Ancient Gear" monster I control is destroyed by battle I can resurrect it with a added 200 Atk point bonus.

Ancient Gear Beast rose out of the ground giving a loud roar feeling a power increase. (Atk/2000+200 = 2200).

"Well, they did say cats have nine lives. I just didn't think they meant mechanical cats." Ash grumbled looking at his hand. "I'll place 1 card face down and end my turn." Hand/3

"Well young man I gotta say i'm actually impressed that someone like you could pull such a move." Crowler said. "But it's time I show why I became worthy of the position Vice-Chancellor! I draw!"

"When I have an Ancient Gear Monster on my field I can Special Summon this, Ancient Gear." A small working gear appeared on Crowler's side of the field. (Atk/100 Def/800)

"Get ready Ash, he's about to sacrifice both his monsters!" Mana warned.

"Now be prepared as I sacrifice my Ancient Gear and Ancient Gear Beast to summon the all powerful Ancient Gear Golem." Crowler laughed as both of his monsters disappeared in yellow particles and a giant automaton with one glowing red eye rose out of the ground in their place. (Atk/3000 Def/3000)

"Whoa, that's big." Ash said wide eyed.

"(Ancient Gear Golem, that's the monster that made the Ancient Gear Archetype the most feared Archetype. Let's see how Ash handles it.) Celina thought curious as to how Ash will counter this move.

"Now Ancient Gear Golem attack the two headed mongrel with Mechanized Melee!" The Golem reared it's fist back and let loose a massive punch. "Don't bother activating that face-down as my Golem prevents Spells and Traps from activating during the Battle Phase." Crowler said predicting Ash's move.

"What!" Ash exclaimed in shock. Before covering his face as Chimera was Crushed under Golem's fist. (3000-2600=400)

(Ash Lp: 4000-400 = 3600)

"You may have destroyed my Chimera I'm activating it's ability along with Phantasmal Wing!" He cried out. "First Chimera let's me Special Summon one of it's Fusion Materials back from the graveyard when it was destroyed by battle. So I Special Summon Berfomet the Phantasmal Demon (Atk/1800 Def/1400) in Defense Mode."

"And Phantasmal Wing's effect activates when it's sent from the field to the Graveyard. It allows me to target one Spell or Trap Card you control and destroy it. So I choose Ancient Gear Reborn!" And with that dark winds surrounded the Trap destroying it.

"You are just being pest." Crowler snarled. "Turn end." Hand/1

"Well now I do habit on getting on people's nerves, just the people I don't like though." Ash said drawing his next card and unknowingly getting a small giggle out of Celina.

"Now to start things off I'll play the Spell Card Dark Magic Veil." By paying 1000 Life Points, I can Special Summon a Dark Magician from my hand." Ash said playing Mahad's card. Appearing on Ash's field was a Purple Robes magician with Mahad's appearance in Def Position. (Atk/2500 Def/2100)

(Ash Lp: 3400-1000= 2400)

"Well Ash, I hope you have a strategy against this Golem." Mahad mumbled staring at the mechanical monster.

"I place one card face-down and end my turn." Ash declared. Hand/1

"Running scared are we, well now young man you made a mistake!" Crowler grinned. "You see my Golem can inflict piercing damage." I draw! Crowler shouted.

" I activate my face-down Quick-Play Spell Magical Hats." Ash shouted revealing his face-down. Four giant hats appeared and covered Dark Magician, Berfomet and Ash's other face-down. "Sorry Crowler, but your going to have to make a guess on which hat holds my monsters."

"(What's his strategy.)" Celina thought looking at the hats on Ash's field.

"Errg, fine troublesome brat." Crowler growled. "Battle, Ancient Gear Golem, attack the hat on the far right!"

Crowler's Golem let loose it's attack on the hat causing it to burst into smoke. "Well it looks like I made a correct guess."

When the smoke cleared Ancient Gear Golem stood holding it's fist out frozen in it's position. The mechanical monster let out a groan as a giant circle enveloped it's middle. (Atk/3000-700=2300)

"What happened to my Golem!" Crowler cried out in shock that his Golem was frozen and weakened. Serena to was confused.

"Why Crowler, I thought you would've known?" Ash smirking as his plan worked.

"What did you do brat!" Crowler cried out.

"That face-down card!" Celina exclaimed with wide eyes. "One of the hats covered Ash's face-down as well as his monsters."

"Bingo." Ash chuckled. "The card that was under the hat you destroyed was the Continuous Trap SpellBinding Circle which immobilized your Golem and Decreased it's strenght by 700.

In the background Mana was laughing up a storm while Pikachu looked at her curiously. "Haha-haha. That trick never gets old. She said wiping away a tear.

"Your brat." Crowler snarled at the position he was put in. Looking at his hand, these two card's wouldn't be much help at the moment. "Turn end." Hand/2

"Now then, it's time I take control of this duel!" Ash exclaimed drawing his card. "First I release both Dark Magician and Berfomet from the hats and switch them to attack mode. Now Dark Magician attack Ancient Gear Golem. Dark Magician jumped up and waved his staff letting loose a dark wave of energy hitting Ancient Gear Golem destroying it. (2500-2300= 200)

(Crowler Lp: 3400-200= 3200)

"Gahh!l Crowler cried out feeling the dark energy burst through his monster and hit him. "I'm not done yet! Berfomet the Phantasmal Demon attack Crowler directly!"

"Wait can't we talk this out!" Crowler exclaimed in fear as the four armed demon flew towards him. Berfomet let loose a four armed knuckle sandwhich on the poor man.

(Crowler Lp: 3200-1800= 1800)

"(Ash may actually win this.)" Celina smiled at the thought. "(Wait, why am I happy whether or not Ash wins? I just met him.)"

"Well I'm done with my turn. Let's see what you can do." Ash said. Hand/2

"Let's see what I can do?" Crowler said to himself as he picked himself off the ground. "What I'm going to do is make regret crossing me Slacker!"

"I draw!" He said fiercely, before letting loose a grin at what he drew. "I activate the Spell Mystical Space Typhoon! With this card I can destroy any Spell or Trap Card on the field!

"(Any Spell or Trap? But there isn't any, wait that first card he played!)" Ash realised.

"I choose to destroy my Ancient Gear Engineer Plant." Crowler grinned as a typhoons consumed his Spell destroying it. "Now my Ancient Gear Engineer Plant activates, when it's sent from the field to the graveyard I get to Special Summon one Ancient Gear Monster from my Hand, Deck, or Graveyard." Revive Ancient Gear Golem!"

Rising out of the ground the Golem rose letting loose it's mechanical roar. (Atk/3000 Def/3000)

"But that's not all, I activate the Spell Ancient Gear Double Imitate." This Spell allows me to Special Summon 2 Ancient Gear Monsters from my Graveyard with their abilities negated.

Out of the ground rose Ancient Gear Beast and Ancient Gear.

"(Three Ancient Gear Monsters.)" Mahad thought. (Oh no!) "Ash be prepared, he's about to do something big!"

" I activate the Spell Card Polymerization! Now I Fuse Ancient Gear Golem, Ancient Gear Beast, and Ancient Gear." In the background behind Crowler the Fusion swirl appeared absorbing his Ancient Gears. "Ancient Giant, Wild Beast, Spinning Gadget, become one to show your tremendous might!" I Fusion Summon Lv 10 Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem! (Atk:4400 Def/3400)


(Back in Disclosed Location)

Currently the alarms were on high alert as the systems started to go Haywire.

"Sir!" We're detecting a large surge of Fusion Energy! A female worker cried out.

"It's one of the largest surges we've ever seen! Another worker exclaimed in disbelief.

The president gritted his teeth at what was happening, looking at the screen he could tell someone from Duel Academy was here.

"President, should we send our men to investigate?" The man beside him asked.

"No, right now focus and gathering the data on this Ash Ketchum. The President said curious as to how little info they had on him.


(Back at the Duel)

Ash and Celina were staring wide eyed at the colossal giant. This monster had a centaur like body with it having a more gladiator like appearance. Mana and Pikachu were no better as they were worried at the strength this monster had.

"(This is the one strongest Ancient Gear Monsters to exist, one attack and Ash is done!)" Celina frantically thought looking at Ash worried.

"(Is this it?)" Ash questioned himself as he looked at this Behemoth. No matter how he tried, he couldn't move.

"Hahaha! You impudent little brat, you wanted to see me come back from this so now here it is." Crowler laughed. "Now Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem attack Dark Magician and finish this duel!"

Turning Ash, Mahad spoke quickly. "Ash you must trust your deck, trust in the heart of the cards. It's the only way." With that said Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem let loose it's fist destroying him in particles where the fist kept going to Ash. When the first collided with the ground it let loose a large cloud of smoke.

"Ash! Pikapi!" Celina, Mana and Pikachu cried out.

"Hahaha, it's over! This will teach no to mess with Dr. Vellian Crowler!" Crowler laughed at his assumed victory. " Now miss Slacker, I believe it's time to-

Whatever Crowler was going to saying died in his throat as the smoke cleared showing a smirking Ash and Berfomet still standing with no damage to his Life Point's.

"Ash! Pikapi!" Celina, Mana and Pikachu cried out in joy.

"But, but how? You can't be standing, you have to be cheating!" Crowler exclaimed looking at the boy with anger.

"The reason why I was able to survive to attack was thanks to a furry little guy called Kuriboh.

(Flashback)

Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem's arm headed straight for Ash who stood frozen after Dark Magician was hit. "Kuri kuri." A voice spoke tugging at Ash's cheek. Soon he found himself in a void with only one other creature by his side.

"Huh, your Kuriboh." Ash looked at the spirit. Wait, Kuriboh you want me to discard you. He said remembering the ability.

Kuriboh nodded. "Thank you for snapping me out of it." Ash told it. " I'm sorry for freezing up like." Kuriboh cheerfully snuggled Ash's face telling him it was alright.

"Now let's do this" Ash said returning to reality. Discarding Kuriboh and Kuriboh appeared in front of Ash blocking Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem's attack.

(Present Time)

"You mean to tell me that a little puff ball saved you!" Crowler cried out.

"That's right, but he's not a puff ball, he's my friend." Ash said.

"Tch, it doesn't matter anyways. I end my turn. Crowler growled before letting loose a small smile a the fact that not matter what Ash summons it won't compare to his Ultimate Golem. Hand/0

"(That was a close one.)" Celina thought, "But with only one card in his hand and only Berfomet on the field Ash in a rock and a hard place." She mumbled that last part to herself.

"(Mahad told me to trust in the Heart of the Cards. Please guide me." Ash thought placing his hand on the virtual deck. "I draw."

Ash looked at the card and widened his eyes, " I activate the Spell Card of Sanctity. Now we each must draw until we're holding six cards."

"(Impossible!) Crowler thought. This Brat just managed to restock his hand.

"Ash may have a chance. Celina mumbled wide eyed at the draw. "If he can take out the original Golem, there's a chance to take out the Ultimate.

"Now first I'll be sacrificing Berfomet to summon Dark Magician Girl!" Ash spoke calmly as Berfomet was covered in a pink light and Mana in her Dark Magician Girl appearance stood in his place. (Atk/2000+300= 2300 Def/1700)

"Oh, that's it?" Crowler sneered at the move. What was he worried about, this little girl didn't hold a candle to his Ultimate Golem.

"Sorry to disappoint you Crowler, but I'm winning this here and now!" Ash spoke calmly. "Now I call upon The Eye of Timaeus!" Dark Magician Girl wavered her staff sending a light into the clouds.

Both Celina and Crowler widened their eyes in shock when a large green Dragon with a scar over its eye came out of the clouds. "Now Fuse with Dark Magician Girl." Both Duel Academy duelists were in shock once more as he performed a Fusion Summon without a Polymerization.

"Beautful Magician merge with with a Legendary Dragon! "A new form is born as the bond between Magician and Dragon is United!" Come forth Lv 7 Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight. (Atk/2600 Def/1700)


(Back in the Disclosed Location)

"Sir! It's another surge of Fusion Energy! And it's just as powerful as the last!" A male worker exclaimed.

"Quick shut everything off, the systems are going haywire. The man beside the president spoke.

The president narrowed his eyes, this Ash Ketchum has become a interesting subject with he potential in Fusion Summoning. But right now he needs to put this subject off for another time. Right now he has plans to get the data on Yuya Sakaki's Pendulum Cards through Sylvio's help.


(Back at the Duel)

Dark Magician Girl donned in armor appeared riding on Timaeus.

"To think this brat could perform such an advanced Fusion." Crowler muttered. Before focusing back on the duel. "Even if this brat brought out a new Fusion Monster, it pales in comparison to my Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem.

"What's with the smug look Crowler?" Ash questioned the He/she.

"Why just that you made a dire mistake, you honestly believe you could best me with that new monster. Well sorry to break it to you, but your girlfriend and her pet lizard can't even match my Golem in strength." He laughed.

Feeling insulted Mana and Timaeus narrowed their eyes at the man in anger at the insults. Ash feeling their anger narrowed his eyes at the laughing man as well.

"(Ash is amazing, he was able to perfom a Fusion Summon without Polymerization. But Crowler's right, his new monster isn't strong enough.)" Celina thought, "Unless he has something in his hand to weaken Crowler's Golem or Power up his monster." She mumbled with wide eyes.

"You wouldn't be laughing after I Equip my Dragon Knight with this the Equip Spell Excalibur." Ash grinned. "Thanks to this card her attack points are doubled to make a grand total of -

"5200!" Celina and Crowler Exclaimed in shock.

DMG the Dragon Knight (Atk/2600x2= 5200 Def/1700)

"That's right! Now Dark Magic Girl the Dragon Knight attack Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem with Dark Dragon Burst."

"This is for calling Timaeus a lizard and for insulting Ashy." Mana cried out unsheathing Excalibur firing pink magic with Timaeus's breath attack hitting Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem and destroying it. (5200-4400 = 800)

(Crowler Lp: 1800-800 = 1000)

"You still made a mistake thinking you could win this round." Crowler snarled. "When Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem is destroyed I can Special Summon one Ancient Gear Golem from my Graveyard! Rise once again Ancient Gear Golem!"

"(Hahaha, that brat over estimated himself and made the mistake of making letting me draw cards as well, for I hold Heavy Storm which will no doubt blow that sword away weakening his Dragon Knight and with Limited Removal my victory is all but assured.)" He gleefully thought.

"Now Crowler, Ash called out catching Crowler's attention, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Dragon's Fighting Spirit." "With this card I can have a Dragon Type Monster I control make an additional attack for each Special Summon you made this turn."

"Wait, every Special Summon this turn during the current Battle Phase?" Crowler started to sweat as that only meant one thing.

"Yes, since you Special Summoned your Ancient Gear Golem, my Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight can attack once again. Now to finish this, Attack with Dark Dragon Burst!" Ash declared.

"Wait time out!" Crowler cried, but it was no use as Mana and Timaeus fired their consecutive blasts hitting Crowler's Golem obliterating it and kicking up dust forcing Ash and Serena to cover their faces.

(Crowler Lp: 1000 -5200 = 0)

(Ash wins)

When the dust cleared Crowler was lying on the ground. "It's impossible." He groaned in disbelief. "To think this young upstart could defeat me." He glowed a light blue light a disappeared from before Ash and Celina's eyes.

"Whoa, where did Crowler go? Ash asked the stunned girl.

Celina still stood in a state of shock as some unknown guy insulted her Vice-Chancellor, and beat him in a duel. And she felt happy he won, but why was she cheering for him? She snapped out of it when someone started to snap their fingers in front of her face.

"What!" She snapped at Ash trying to hold back the blush from close proximity. "Well after I beat Crowler he just vanished in some light. So I thought if you knew something."

"After you won he must've got forced back to where he came from." She said looking at the spot Crowler occupied.

"You know I could've handled the Vice-Chancellor myself though." Celina said turning her attention back to Ash. "But I guess thank you none the less."

"So, weren't we going to Duel?" Ash asked as that was what they were going to do before Crowler came.

"No need." Serena assured. "I've seen what you can do and know you aren't an Xyz user."

Ash looked at her curiously before holding his hand out towards her.

"What is this? Celina questioned looking at the smiling Ash.

"I think we should actually do a proper greeting, I'm Ash Ketchum." Ash said.

Taking his hand. Celina smiled, "I'm Celina." She said taking her hood off revealing her face. She had dark purple hair tied in a ponytail with a yellow ribbon. She also has two light blue bangs that fall to either side of her face. Ash was stunned and only mumbled one word. "Beautiful."

"Aw, Ash just got his first real crush here." Mana said in mock-proudness.

"Quite Mana, don't ruin the moment." Mahad growled with Pikachu nodding.

Suddenly the moment was ruined as Serena's Duel Disk glowed bright alerting Celina, forcing her to back away from Ash "Oh no, not now!"

"What's happening!" Ash exclaimed as his new friend started to glow.

"I'm being forced back by the Professor! I don't want to go yet!" She cried.

She vanished in the same flash of light blinding Ash and his Spirits. When it died down Celina was gone.

"Where did she go?" Ash mumbled in shock.


Mahad and Mana's Card of the Day

"Welcome back everyone! Mahad here and it's time reveal the card of the day!

As he said this, he, Mana and Pikachu stood in the Card Lab.

"Now to pull the lever and reveal the card of the day!" Mahad said turning towards the screen behind him pulling down the lever.

"Which will it be? Which will it be?" Mana and Pikachu chanted as the screen spun.

The screen stopped on a green looking card with a large Dragon who has a scar over his eye.

"The card of the Day is The Eye of Timaeus!" Mana and Mahad cheered.

"The Eye of Timaeus is neither Spell nor Monster as it is a Legendary Dragon Card. By targeting one monster you control, you can send this card and that target to the Graveyard Special Summon a fused version of this card and that monster. (This counts as a Fusion Summon)." Mahad read of the screen.

"Not to mention very loyal. He can come at the sound of a whistle." Mana said holding a whistle.

"Wait Mana don't blow that whistle!" Mahad cried out.

Mana didn't listen and blew very hard in the whistle letting out a large Wheeeeee. The lab rumbled and Timaeus burst through the wall letting loose a roar.

"It worked!" Mana cheered running towards Timaeus with Pikachu following while Mahad looked at the giant hole in the wall.

"Mana!" Mahad screamed gaining the there's attention.

"You, Timaeus and Pikachu are going to help clean this mess up right now or so help me!" Mahad growled.

The three in question shared one look then looked over back at Mahad who tapped his foot waiting. The room was silent before-

"Book it!" Mana cried out grabbing Pikachu.

She jumped on Timaeus's back and Timaeus took off flying through the other wall making a bigger mess. Mahad stunned that he's been left alone did the only thing he could. He let out a furious roar at the his soon to be dead apprentice.

(With Mana, Timaeus and Pikachu)

The three were flying away fast, intending to get away from Mahad's wrath.

"See you next time!" Mana cried out before Timaeus barreled rolled away from Mahad's Dark Magic attack.

"Get back here and clean up your mess!"


(Omake: The Reason Why Ash Wasn't Sent to School)

Ash was walking down the street admiring the beauty of Miami City. Turning a corner was a Man in a black suit who spotted Ash.

"Hey you, stop right there!" He called out unfortunately out of Ash's earshot.

Though someone did hear his shout and she wasn'd going to let her master waste his day in a stuffy School Building. She held her wand and chant a silent spell, before letting out a small smirk as the man fell through a hole in the ground. The wonders of Trap Hole.

"Well that takes care of that." Mana said in happy tone before turning and following after Ash and Mahad.

"Hello? Can someone help?" The man cried out. "It's dark down here."

Hello, I hope you guys enjoyed this new chapter. If there is any errors you find with it, review and I'll try my best to fix this. I also need to explain about Ancient Gear Engineering Plant, I intended to Geartown but I misread the card so it wouldn't work, but I had the entire duel written out so I asked Satoshi-Greninja for some help to come up with a card to take it's place, so credit for that card goes to him. Any way I hope you enjoyed this new chapter. Please read and review.
