Alright, here's the second chapter. I was honestly having a little trouble with what I exactly wanted to happen in this one but I think it all worked out. Plus I was having a little fun making the duel and the OC cards you're about to see.

Also thank you to everyone who reviewed my story so far. I really appreciate the feedback. Here's some of my responses to what you all said to me in the reviews for Chapter 1.

Missingmoney- First of all, thank you for mentioning Action Cards that were in the manga because I wasn't even aware of that until after reading your review. As far as Action Cards are concerned, I'm going to be honest, I'm trying to decide if I should even use Action Cards for this story or the duel with Strong was just a one time thing. I agree that Yuya relies TOO MUCH on Action Cards (which is why I'm not going to have him rely on them a lot) and about how they were handled in the anime later on. The whole subject of Action Duels makes me think that maybe I shouldn't even use this type of dueling down the road. Honestly, I didn't really think about it until just now so we'll see what happens. Personally, I don't really care if Action Cards are used or not as long as they're done right but I'm more or less leaning towards not using them. If I decide not to use Action Duels/Cards, then I'm going to figure out a way to arrange the duels a bit better.

Raychiu- Well...maybe. I'm not exactly sure yet. That's all I'm going to say.


Chapter 2 - New Beginnings and Duels


MAIAMI CITY - DUELING ARENA

As the audience was cheering for Yuya, when he landed on the floor, he was looking a little overwhelmed at the audience showing support. He turned his head towards his mom and the others. They were waving at him with excited and happy smiles on their faces as his mom yelled out.

"You won Yuya, you defeated Strong Ishijima. Well done, Yuya!" Yuzu showed her support, "You were awesome, Yuya!" Gongenzaka was happy for his best friend, "You did it!" Shuzo was crying tears of joy, "Whoaaa! His blood was boilin'!" Mikleo gave his brother a thumbs up, "Good job, little bro!"

Yuya had a smile on his face as he saw the closest people in his life showing support. He looked around the audience as they cheered for him with confetti flying everywhere.

The guys that had mocked Yuya before were also showing their support, "That was rad, Yuya!" "To think that he won against the champion!"

Tatsuya had a happy and admiring expression on his face, since he saw that Yuya won, as other people around him were speaking, "That was pretty cool, huh? A lot of monster came out!" "I've never seen something like that!"

Yuya then saw Strong sitting up, "Hey Strong, are you okay?" Strong sat up slowly as he rubbed his head, "Dammit, what was…" Strong was interrupted as Nico ran past him, accidently hitting him.

Nico was excited as he ran towards Yuya, who was still looking a little overwhelmed, and grabbed his hands, "Bravo! Excellent! Congratulations! That was a spectacular victory, Yuya-kun!" Nico pointed his mike towards Yuya, "Can you please tell us about that fascinating new summoning method you used to win?"

Yuya sweatdropped a little bit, "Oh. Uhh…" Yuya didn't know how to answer that question as he was still confused as to what just happened. He remembered what happened to him but he didn't know how to explain it.


LEO CORPORATION (LDS)

A young man with a red scarf walked into the main office of the school, he was the young CEO of the school and Leo Corporation, Reiji Akaba. He sat down in his chair as his right man, Nakajima, walked over to the desk with a touchpad. "Mr. President, we identified the boy."

A screen came down and showed images of Yuya, "His name is Yuya Sakaki. 16 years old. He's an tenth grade student in the Miami School System. He's classified as a Junior Youth in terms of dueling. Here are his tournament results up until now."

Reiji looked at the screen with his hands under his chin and narrowed his eyes, "A roughly 50% win-lose ratio…?" He was a little suspicious by what he was looking at especially with this new "Pendulum Summoning." "Where does he duel?"

Nakajima looked at his notes, "For what I've gathered, it seems he is going to a duel school called "You Show Duel School". It's in the city."

Reiji looked at him, "You Show Duel School…" He then looked at the screen again, "You said his name was Yuya Sakaki." Reiji was looking at the image like he knows Yuya, "Can it be who I think it is?" Nakajima nodded his head, "That's right, he's the son of Yusho Sakaki."

Reiji looked down on his desk, "Yusho Sakaki. So the son of the man who disappeared five years ago has performed a new summoning method along with these Pendulum Monsters as well. Yuya Sakaki...Yes, I remember him now."

Reiji stood up from his desk and looked at his right hand man, "Nakajima, I want you to investigate his personal life immediately and report to me anything you can find out about this Pendulum Summoning method, no matter how trivial it may be."

His right man bowed to him, "As you wish sir, I will get to it right away." He then left the office while Reiji continued looking at images of Yuya. "This new summoning method might even help us in the upcoming battle. We don't have much time since we don't know when an attack may be coming. We have to find out more we can about this Pendulum Summoning by any means necessary." He was then bothered by something, "50% win-lose ratio...Yuya, have you not grown at all?"


MAIAMI CITY - SAKAKI RESIDENCE

Later in the day, Yuya was basically avoiding the paparazzi when they were asking about his new "Pendulum Summoning". He would either dodge the question or answer them with, "Sorry, but it is hard to explain." He couldn't just straight out tell anybody what happened. That he basically had his cards transformed after having a mysterious dream and he miraculously knew how to use them right. No one would believe him so he choose not to tell the truth at least for right now until he can figure this out.

Yuya was in his room on his bed with Yuzu and Mikleo sitting in chairs and Yuzu looked at Yuya, "Seriously Yuya, what happened out there? What was this Pendulum Summoning you just did?"

Yuya looked at Yuzu, "I don't know what to tell you, Yuzu. I just had these cards in my deck since the duel and I just learned how to use them. I don't know why some of my monsters into something called Pendulum Monsters." Yuya somewhat told Yuzu the truth. He felt really guilty for lying to his brother and Yuzu but until he could figure this out he decided to tell know one about the dream he saw. It wasn't that he didn't trust them, he trusted them both with his life, but it's just he needs more information before giving it out to others and that they possibly wouldn't believe him. "I mean really who would believe that I was "chosen" to have these cards. What was that anyway?"

Seeing the look on Yuya's face was telling her that he wasn't telling the whole truth but looked just as confused as her so she decided not to pry for right now. She smiled at him, "Don't worry about it too much, Yuya. I'm sure we are going to find out what happened sooner or later. Also think about it, you created a new summoning method, you should be proud Yuya."

Yuya smiled at her and nodded, "She's right. I used an awesome new summoning method that no one had ever seen and it was powerful...huh?" Yuya was looking at some of his cards and noticed that some of their effects had the phrase, "Face-up Pendulum Monster in the Extra Deck. What does that mean?" Yuya didn't have a clue what it was talking about.

Mikleo stood up and walked towards Yuya and kneeled down, "Can I see these cards?" Yuya nodded and showed them to Mikleo and Yuzu who also walked towards to them see his cards. They both saw that these Pendulum Monsters almost looked like regular monsters except the bottom of the cards were colored green as well that's usually for a Magic card. Mikleo was looking at them with an unreadable expression, "So these are called Pendulum Monsters."

Yuzu seemed interested in them as well, "They do look pretty cool, Yuya. I can't wait to see how they work." Yuya nodded at her. Mikleo left Yuya and Yuzu alone with each other as he looked like he was pondering about something. Yuya and Yuzu continued to talk about what happened today for a couple more hours.

LATER IN THE NIGHT

Mikleo was sleeping while he moved around a bit, he was having a weird dream.


UNKNOWN SPACE - MIKLEO'S DREAM

Mikleo looked around to where he at: empty space. There was nothing here but black darkness. "Where am I?" He was wondering why he was here.

Suddenly a bright light illuminated the entire area and Mikleo was blinded for a few seconds before covering his eyes. After a few seconds, the light was starting to dim a little bit so Mikleo started to move his hands out of the way to see the source of the light. His eyes widened by what he was seeing, in the middle of the bright light there was a silhouette of what looked like a woman but it was too bright that Mikleo couldn't see who it was.

From what Mikleo could gather, the silhouette actually looked someone made of energy but it only showed the shape of the body not the face so he still couldn't tell who it was although it looked the shape had pigtails but he wasn't sure. The silhouette looked like it opened its mouth as she was looking at Mikleo who had a perplexed look on his face. She ran towards Mikleo and gave him a hug while Mikleo was shocked by what this "person" was doing. It was faint but Mikleo could a voice from her while she was hugging him.

"Mikleo! I'm so happy to see that you're alive!" It seemed like she knew him and was happy to see him.

Mikleo was still confused especially with what he just heard. "Do I know her?" Mikleo can't remember although, for some reason, he was getting this feeling that he heard that voice before. "Who are you? How do you know me?"

This person stopped hugging him as she stood in front of him. It looked like she was a little sad. "So you don't remember me. That's okay. I expected that. I'm just glad you're okay." After she finished speaking, it looked like she was getting farther away from Mikleo's perspective.

Mikleo felt his legs move on their own as he chasing after her, "Wait! Come back!"

"Goodbye Mikleo. Don't worry we will meet again. I promise."

End of Dreamscape


Mikleo woke up feeling a little bit sweating after waking up from the weird dream. He was confused by what he saw. "Who was that? And why did she seem familiar?"


MAIAMI CITY - STREETS

Yuya was running towards You Show Duel School as he was running a little late for his duel with Yuzu that he promised. He heard that many people were heading there to apply for the school. It was probably because of Yuya's duel with Strong and the fact that he used an unknown summoning method that many people wanted to see it again. Also, because he dueled Strong, You Show got a brand new Solid Vision System that he wanted to try out. He was almost a few minutes away from the school but then he heard something,

"Why don't you idiots just leave me alone?" Yuya stopped and turned his head towards wherever that voice just came from. Yuya saw three people in the middle of a field with a steel gate around. There were two guys and one girl. The two guys looked a little bigger than Yuya and muscular with average pants, boots and shirts. One guy had a blue shirt on while the other had a red shirt. However, Yuya then saw the girl who had her back facing him but he saw that she had bright orange hair with red tips, had a blue ribbon tying her hair into a ponytail, had a purple cardigan jacket around her, blue pants and brown boots on her.

Yuya got a little closer to them as he was listening to what they were saying, "Listen, sweetie. We just wanted to see what the great Chihaya Kotona was really like. What we're seeing is just all talk." Yuya narrowed his eyes a bit, "Chihaya Kotona?" Why did that sound familiar to him but before he could think about it a bit more, he saw the girl called Chihaya was walking away, "Whatever, I'm leaving."

The two guys then stopped her by standing in front of her, "Hey, we try to show our appreciation and this is the thanks we get? You need to learn your place." "I know! Why don't you duel the both of us? Why not prove to us how good you are?" Yuya could tell they were mocking her and begging her for a fight. He clenched his fists as he knew one word to describe them, "Bullies." He would always get picked on by them just for being Yusho's son. He hated people like that. Yuya knew what he had to do.

Chihaya sighed before turning towards the both of them with a bored expression, "Fine. If it will get you morons out of my sight, then I'll be glad to humiliate you." Chihaya activated her duel disk ready for a duel.

The two boys were looking pissed off at her, "Why you…!" "Oh, we are going to crush you so hard!" As all three of them were getting ready to duel, they heard a yell, "Wait!" They turned to the direction of the voice and saw Yuya walking towards them. "I'm teaming with her!"

All three of them were surprised that they saw Yuya. One of the boys was upset, wondering why this unknown kid was getting involved with them. "Wha...Who are you?! This doesn't involve you!" The other bully then decided to give his opinion, "Yea! We got beef with her! Get lost!"

Yuya then faced the both of them, "No! I see what you two are up to and I don't like it! You won't leave her alone so I'm here to help!" Chihaya was surprised that this nobody would try to help her but then got angry.

She made Yuya turn towards her, "I don't need help! Get out of here! This is my fight not yours!" She was a little mad that someone was thinking she needed protection which she hates.

Yuya then got a closer look at Chihaya who looked around his age and saw that she was wearing a choker around her neck, a blue tank top that covered her larger-than-average chest, and had green eyes with anger staring at him. Yuya was surprised at her attitude but then reaffirmed his decision, "No! I want to help you! When I see people like these guys, I can't just sit still! Let me help!"

Chihaya was still annoyed by this but then saw the look on Yuya's face that was telling her that he won't back down, that he really wants to help her. It reminded her of a certain someone who once said to her, "Big sis, let me help!"

Chihaya then sighed but it was more like a huff and then turned towards the bullies with a neutral expression, "Fine. I'll let you join."

Yuya then had a smile on his face as she accepted his offer, "Thank you." He also turned his attention towards the two men.

The two men were still looking at Yuya, angry that he interfering in their duel. "Why you…!" The one with the blue shirt got the other's attention, "Genjo, it's fine. We can just crush them both." Apparently the one with the red shirt was called Genjo who then sighed with a smirk, "Fine, Shiba." Genjo was smirking towards Yuya, "You want to join in? Fine! We'll crush you as well! Who are you, anyway?"

Yuya smirked towards as he pointed at himself, "I'm Yuya Sakaki." Genjo and Shiba were shocked as Yuya pronounced his name while Chihaya was looking at Yuya curious and confused, "Yuya...Sakaki? Why does that sound familiar?" She swears that she heard that name before but couldn't put her finger on it.

Although, the two bullies seem to know who Yuya, "You're...Yuya Sakaki?" "The guy who defeated Strong Ishijima?!" Chihaya's eyes widened a bit as she heard that and then turned her head towards Yuya still looking curious but also intrigued, "This is the guy that beat Strong?"

Genjo then smirked, "Perfect. I've wanting to meet you since yesterday." Genjo's face then changed into a mocking smile, "But now that I look at you, you don't really look like much especially as a freak with different eyes!" Yuya was seething on the inside as he heard that as Genjo continued, "I wanted to see what kind of person he was that beat Strong by dueling you. But now you're saving me the trouble." Shiba smirked as well as he agreed with Genjo, "Yea! Now we can crush the both of you!"

Genjo and Shiba activated their duel disks again, this time ready for a duel. Chihaya was still curious about Yuya but then also activated her duel disk as well with Yuya following up.

[DUEL!]

YUYA LP: 4000
CHIHAYA LP: 4000
GENJO LP: 4000
SHIBA LP: 4000

Genjo placed his hand on his deck with a smile, "I'll go first. Oh, by the way, none of us are allowed to attack on the first turn in the tag duel." He reminded Yuya and Chihaya what happened during the beginning of a tag duel.

Yuya was looking at his hand as this was a rare time that he dueled without Action Cards since he always had fun using them. Luckily he doesn't rely on them too much thanks to his brother teaching him not to rely on them.


MAIAMI CITY - YOU SHOW DUEL SCHOOL - ACTION FIELD

Flashback (Around 4 years ago)

YUYA LP: 1900→0

YUYA: LOSE
MIKLEO: WIN

Yuya landed on his back after losing another duel with his brother who was teaching how to duel better since his dad was gone. Mikleo was walking towards him looking a little irritated and then asked, "Yuya, let me see what cards you had."

Yuya showed what he had in his hand and field and then Mikleo looked more upset. "Yuya! You had a face down and another card in your hand to counter my attack but instead you were going for an Action Card! Why?!" Mikleo was upset that his brother didn't rely on his cards first before others.

Yuya was a little sad that he made his brother upset at him and looked down at the floor, "Well...I like using Action Cards. They make duels more unpredictable. Plus I wanted to save my cards just in case…"

Mikleo then got his brother's attention, "Yuya." Yuya raised his head and saw that Mikleo had a disappointed look on his face. He then asked, "Do you not trust your own deck?"

Yuya was surprised at the question but then was annoyed, "O-Of course I do! I love my deck! It's represents who I am as a duelist!"

"Yuya, I understand Action Cards can be fun. But you gotta understand that not many people rely on them. They have their own combos and surprises in their decks."

Mikleo kneeled towards his brother who was intrigued by what Mikleo was saying, "There are regular duels. Duels that don't use Action Cards. I don't use them because I'm fine with how my deck is. What would happen if you didn't have any cards prepared for a counterattack but instead was wanting an Action Card."

Yuya's eyes widened at the revelation. He hadn't thought about that. He was always thinking about making duels more fun instead of trying to believe in his deck. The more he thought about it, many pros don't rely on Action Cards either which made him even more upset.

Mikleo then smiled towards Yuya, "Develop your own strategy. Trust in your deck. Win with your own cards. But it is also okay to fun as well. That's what a real duelist is all about."

Flashback End


After that duel, whenever Yuya would practice with his brother they would always have a normal duel instead of an Action Duel. And thanks to that, he learned to rely more on his deck than Action Cards. He was thankful for his brother teaching him. He focused his attention back on the duel that just started.

Genjo then started his turn, "My turn! Draw! I activate the Field Magic: Pandemonium -Demon's Den-!" Genjo activated his field card which surrounded the entire field with bones, coffins, and skeletons sticking from the side along with a glowing spot in the middle.

"And now I summon Infernal Queen Daemon (ATK: 900, DEF: 1500, LV: 4)!" Genjo summoned a monster that had a demonic face with a skeletal body, a purple cape and wings attached to its back.

"I set two cards and end my turn." Genjo ended his turn after placing two face downs on his field. Genjo then looked mockingly towards Yuya, "Now then, show us what you got Champion."

Yuya glared at Genjo before choosing not to respond. Instead he looked at his current hand and saw that he had Pendulum Monsters. He could barely remember what exactly he did at the duel. "Now how does Pendulum Summoning work again?" Yuya's memory then jumped back to what exactly he said in his duel with Strong,

"I set the Pendulum Scale with Scale 1 Stargazer Magician and Scale 8 Timegazer Magician! And now I can summon monsters between Level 2 and 7 simultaneously!"

Yuya then had a revelation, "Oh! Now I get it! Well then, let's get to it."

Yuya then started his turn, "My turn! Draw! I summon Entermate Skullcrobat Joker (ATK: 1800, DEF: 100, LV: 4, PS: 8)!" Yuya summoned a monster that resembled somewhat of a clown with black clothing, striped shorts, pointed boots, a black mask and blond hair.

"When Skullcrobat Joker is Normal Summoned, I can add 1 "Entermate", "Magician" or "Odd-Eyes" monster from my hand! I choose Dragonpulse Magician!"

Chihaya was even more intrigued by what Yuya just summoned, "Entermate, Magician, Odd-Eyes...So that's the type of deck he uses." She was somewhat familiar with Magicians, Odd-Eyes was something she wasn't sure about, but Entermate is what really surprised her as she remembered that Yusho Sakaki used that type of deck before. "Yusho...Sakaki? Wait! That's who he is!" Chihaya's eyes widened a bit as she realized that this was the son of Yusho Sakaki.

Meanwhile, Yuya wasn't done with his turn, "Now I activate the Magic Card: Pendulum Magic! I check the top five cards of my deck and if there is a "Magician" Pendulum Monster among them, I can add it to my hand!" Yuya checked the top five cards of his deck and revealed one of them, "I add Dragonpit Magician to my hand!"

Everyone was confused by what Yuya just said, "Pendulum Monster?" Neither one of them knew what that meant, was it some type of new card? Since Chihaya was closer to Yuya by a couple inches she saw the card Yuya showed and for a second she saw that it was orange but also green at the bottom. Chihaya was intrigued but wondered, "What on earth is Pendulum?"

"I set a card and end my turn." Yuya ended his turn by placing a face down.

Now it was Shiba's turn, who was still confused by what "Pendulum" meant, but decided not to think about it. "Whatever this Pendulum is, it won't matter."

"My turn! Draw! I summon Jurrac Stauriko (ATK: 500, DEF: 400, LV: 2)! I set a card and end my turn." All Shiba did was summon a blue and green dinosaur with red spots and flames coming out of its back, and then ended his turn with a face down.

Yuya turned his attention towards Chihaya and was interested in what type of deck she might be using especially since she seems confident she can beat the both of them without his help.

Chihaya started her turn, "My turn! Draw!" Chihaya looked at her hand before continuing, "I summon Crystron Prasiortle (ATK: 500, DEF: 2000, LV: 2)!" Chihaya summoned a monster that looked like a mechanical turtle that was green and was covered in crystals over the metal body. It also had a big crystal sticking out of its back and its tail had a mouth with sharp teeth.

Yuya did not recognize this archetype, "Crystron?" Yuya was looking at the turtle she just summoned and thought it actually both pretty and ferocious.

Chihaya continued her turn, "When I have a "Crystron" monster on my field, I can Special Summon Crystron Chalcear (ATK: 2100, DEF: 1800, LV: 6)!" Chihaya then summoned a monster that was a mechanical bear that was light purple and was also covered in crystals over its metal body. It had big crystals sticking out of its back more so than Prasiortle and had an armored head.

"I activate Prasiortle's monster effect! By doing so, I destroy Chalcear!" Chalcear was destroyed as everyone was confused as to why Chihaya just did that but she wasn't finished, "And now I can Special Summon a "Crystron" Tuner monster from my deck!" Yuya's eyes widened a bit, "Tuner?!"

Chihaya took a card from her deck, "I Special Summon the Tuner monster Crystron Rion (ATK: 500, DEF: 500, LV: 3)!" Chihaya summoned a monster that resembled somewhat of a humanoid armored knight with crystals sticking out from the back of its head that resembled a lion's mane, and it was glowing gray.

Yuya looked at the monster curiously, "A Tuner monster. That means she can Synchro Summon."

He remember Mikleo telling him about how Synchro Monsters work. Mikleo told him how it worked, "Alright, Yuya. In order to Synchro Summon, you need two things: a tuner monster and a non-tuner monster. It doesn't work like Fusion or Ritual where it sometimes require a Magic card. No, instead you need these specific monsters to summon the right Synchro Monster. Both monsters' levels have to be the combined total of the Synchro Monster's level. For example, you tune a Level 1 Tuner with a Level 5 non-Tuner, and you get a Level 6 Synchro Monster. You do the math and you get whatever Synchro Monster is available." That was basically a short summary of what Mikleo told him about Synchro Summoning and now was curious as to what Chihaya was about to do.

Chihaya put out her hand as she shouted, "I activate Chalcear's monster effect! When it is in the Graveyard, I can banish it to add a "Crystron" card to my hand." As Chalcear was banished, Chihaya took a card from her deck and added it to her hand.

Yuya thought she was going to Synchro Summon, but to his surprise; all Chihaya did was set two face downs. "I set two cards and end my turn."

Yuya was confused, "She's not going to Synchro Summon?" Yuya wondered what she was up to but then heard laughing from Genjo and turned his head toward him.

"Haha! I admit I was surprised that you have a Tuner monster but if you're not going to Synchro Summon then you just made a big mistake." Genjo had a mocking smile on his face as he put his hand on his deck. Chihaya heard what he said but chose to ignore it and impatiently said, "Just start your turn already!"

Genjo narrowed his eyes before drawing, "My turn! Draw!" Genjo pointed at his Infernal Queen, "Now then, normally I have pay 500 life points due to Infernal Queen's effect but thanks to Pandemonium, I don't have to! And now I activate Infernal Queen's other effect, during the Standby Phase, I can increase the attack points of a "Daemon" monster I control by 1000!" Infernal Queen powered up because of its effect.

Infernal Queen Daemon (ATK: 900→1900)

Genjo had a smirk on his face, "I can Normal Summon this card without a Tribute as long as its attack and defense points are halved! I summon Evil Emperor of Terror - Genesis Daemon (ATK: 3000→1500, DEF: 2000→1000, LV: 8)!" Genjo summoned a giant demonic monster that sitting on a throne and was at least as tall as a building. It had gray armor that looks like it was rusted and had a giant red rusty sword in its left hand. It also had skull designs for its knees and headgear.

Yuya looked a little overwhelmed at the sight of the giant monster, "That's a big monster." Chihaya seemed unfazed though she narrowed her eyes a bit.

Genjo smiled as he summoned his favorite monster, "Although Genesis Daemon will be destroyed at the end of my turn since I summoned it this way. I've got a solution that problem." Genjo smirked again as he took out a card, "When I control another "Daemon" monster, I can Special Summon Daemon Commander (ATK: 2500, DEF: 1200, LV: 6)!"

"And when he is summoned this way, one monster on my field is destroyed! I choose Genesis Daemon!" Genesis Daemon was destroyed, creating a huge explosion. Yuya and Chihaya were a little confused by what Genjo was doing but as he continued,

"I activate the Continuous Trap: Daemon's Call! By discarding a card, I can Special Summon one Level 5 or higher Fiend monster from my Graveyard! I choose Genesis Daemon (ATK: 3000)!"

Now they understood what he did, by destroying Genesis Daemon and then bringing it back, Genjo was able to keep his monster's attack points the same.

Genjo turned his head towards Chihaya with a smirk, "Unfortnately for you Chihaya, you're first! Battle! Genesis Daemon attack Crystron Prasiortle!" Genesis Daemon raised his sword a little as he lowered it in order to crush Prasiortle.

Yuya was worried for her but then saw she looked unfazed as she raised her hand, "I activate Crystron Rion's monster effect!"

Genjo and Shiba were surprised as they didn't expect this, "What?" Yuya was curious as to what she was about to do.

"During my opponent's Battle Phase, I can summon one "Crystron" monster that was banished to my field! I summon Crystron Chalcear (ATK: 2100)! And since he summoned by the effect of another "Crystron" monster, I can change its level to be equal to another monster's level. I choose Prasiortle!" Chihaya pointed towards Prasiortle as Chalcear changed its level.

Crystron Chalcear (LV: 6→2)

Genjo got over his shock and then narrowed his eyes as he was thinking it didn't change anything, "So what? What was the point of that? My Genesis Daemon is still the stronger monster!"

Chihaya then had a smirk on her face and put out her hand again, "Who said that I was done? I now activate Rion's other effect! Since I special summoned a monster using its effect, I can now perform a Synchro Summon with Rion and the monster I just summoned!"

Genjo and Shiba were now in total shock, "A Synchro Summon?!" "During the Battle Phase?!" Yuya was surprised as well as he had never seen this before and immediately became impressed of Chihaya as he watched what she was about to do.

"I now tune my Level 3 Crystron Rion with my Level 2 Crystron Chalcear (3 + 2 = 5)! From the depths of crystals comes a monster with powerful intuition! Crystals combine to form a powerful machine! Synchro Summon! Level 5! Crystron Ametrix (ATK: 2500, DEF: 1500, LV: 5)!" Chihaya summoned a humanoid purple machine that looked like it had huge claws attached to its hands and also two wings on each side of its back with spheres attaching them together. It also had a long tail attached to it.

"I activate Crystron Ametrix's monster effect! When it is Synchro Summoned, all Special Summoned on the field are changed to defense position!" Ametrix had its spheres sending out a sonic wave that spread around the duel field. It affected Genesis Daemon and Daemon Commander. Infernal Queen was not affected as it was normal summoned.

Evil Emperor of Terror - Genesis Daemon (DEF: 2000)

Daemon Commander (DEF: 1200)

Genjo clenched his fist as he was frustrated that he cannot attack Chihaya now. Yuya had an amazed smile on his face as he looking at Chihaya, "Wow. She's good." He just wondered how good though.

Genjo glared at Chihaya before his attention towards Yuya, "Fine. Then I'll just have to go for you. Infernal Queen attack Skullcrobat Joker!" Infernal Queen powered a dark sphere before firing at Joker and destroying it.

YUYA LP: 4000→3900

"I end my turn. Infernal Queen's effect also ends." Genjo was still frustrated but at least he got to deal some damage to someone.

Infernal Queen Daemon (ATK: 1900→900)

Yuya was going to begin his turn but then he looked at his duel disk and notice that his Extra Deck was glowing. He didn't activate anything to summon a monster from his Extra Deck nor does he have any monsters as material, so why was it glowing? Yuya tapped on his Extra Deck and saw Skullcrobat Joker face up in the Extra Deck.

Yuya was surprised and didn't expect this, "It's in my Extra Deck? Not my Graveyard?" Yuya then remembered something he read just yesterday, "...face up Pendulum Monster in the Extra Deck." Yuya realized what that meant now, "Oh, now I understand. Well, that makes Pendulum cards even more interesting!"

Yuya began his turn, "My turn! Draw!" Yuya looked at his current hand and Skullcrobat Joker in his Extra Deck, "If my theory is correct…" Since Joker was in his Extra Deck, Yuya had a theory that might work and he was about to try it.

Yuya looked at everyone, "Now then everyone. Since I have your attention. I'm about to show you all a new summoning that will shock you!" Genjo and Shiba were looking at Yuya, wondering what he was even doing. Chihaya was confused as well, "What is he about to do?"

Yuya grabbed two cards as he began his chant, "I set the Pendulum Scale with Scale 1 Dragonpulse Magician and Scale 8 Dragonpit Magician!" His two magicians appeared in two glowing pillars of light. "And now I can summon any Monsters with levels from 2 and 7 at the same time!"

"What is happening?" That was everyone was asking as they watching Yuya and he wasn't done.

"Swing, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon!" A portal opened up and out came three monsters. "Appear! Odd-Eyes Magician (ATK: 2300, DEF: 1500, LV: 6, PS: 8)! Entermate Longphone Bull (ATK: 1600, DEF: 1200, LV: 4)! And from the Extra Deck, Entermate Skullcrobat Joker (ATK: 1800)!" The monster that came out second resembled a blue bull with a red shirt, white pants, polka-dotted bowtie and had a telephone on its head.

Everyone was shocked by what they were seeing, Yuya summoning three monsters at the same time including a high level one. Chihaya was completely taken off guard as she have never seen this before.

"P-Pendulum Summon? ...Wait! That's Skullcrobat Joker! I thought I destroyed it!" Genjo was shocked but then was a little irritated as he thought he got rid of Yuya's monster.

"Pendulum Monsters that are destroyed go to the Extra Deck instead of the Graveyard. And with the right Pendulum Scales, I can bring them back." Yuya revealed another hidden function of Pendulum Cards; shocking everyone even more.

"What?! How is that fair?!" Genjo was even more angry than before that this kid had a "cheating" summoning method.

"Pendulum Monsters. To think that cards like that even exist." Chihaya didn't know what to say because if she was honest, Yuya pulled off something amazing. Chihaya had a small smirk on her face, "He's actually pretty good. I think I might want to duel him someday." It wasn't that Chihaya didn't have a low opinion on Yuya especially since she just met him, she just didn't know how good he was until now.

Yuya pointed towards his monsters, "Entermate Longphone Bull's effect activates! When I Special Summon this card, I can add a non-Pendulum "Entermate" monster from my deck to my hand! I choose Entermate Thunderhino (ATK: 200, DEF: 1800, LV: 3)!" Yuya added Thunderhino to his hand.

"Now Odd-Eyes Magician's effect activates! While this monster is on the field, all Pendulum Monsters I control gain 500 attack points!"

Entermate Skullcrobat Joker (ATK: 1800→2300)

Odd-Eyes Magician (ATK: 2300→2800)

"I activate the Continuous Magic: Pendulum Exchange! Once per turn, I can discard one non-Pendulum monster from my hand to add one Pendulum monster that has the same level as the one I discarded!" Yuya discarded Thunderhino in order to add Fire Mufferlion.

"I summon Entermate Fire Mufferlion (ATK: 800→1300, DEF: 800, LV: 3, PS: 5)!" Yuya summoned a monster that was lion wearing a top hat, a bowtie, and its mane was on fire.

"Battle! Longphone Bull attack Daemon Commander!" Longphone Bull charged straight at the commander and rammed him, destroying Commander in the process.

"Odd-Eyes Magician attack Genesis Daemon! Spiral Magic!" "As you wish, Master Yuya!" Odd-Eyes had his staff charging up power before spinning his staff and launching a colorful magic blast toward Genesis Daemon, destroying it.

"Even if the rest of his monsters attack, I'll still have enough life points." Genjo was thinking he was safe as Yuya can't finish him off with his current monsters' attacks left but he was proven wrong.

"I activate Entermate Fire Mufferlion's monster effect! Once per turn, when a Pendulum Monster destroys a monster by battle, it gains 200 attack points and can attack again!"

Odd-Eyes Magician (ATK: 2800→3000)

"Thank you friend." Odd-Eyes was thanking Fire Mufferlion for its support who just let out a soft roar in response.

"What?!" "3000 attack points…" Genjo's eyes widened as he realized he was finished after Odd-Eyes attack.

"Odd-Eyes Magician attack Infernal Queen! Spiral Magic!" Odd-Eyes launched his attack and destroyed Infernal Queen. Genjo was pushed back and landed on his back as he took damage.

GENJO LP: 4000→1900

Chihaya knew what was about to happen, "Yuya can have his Joker attack Genjo and deplete his life points. You are something else." Chihaya let out a small smile as she impressed by Yuya's skills.

Genjo was sitting up as Yuya called out his next attack, "Now Skullcrobat Joker attack Genjo directly!" Joker charged at Genjo ready to end this. Genjo was gritting his teeth as he didn't have anything to protect himself; however, Shiba intervened by playing his card.

"Not so fast! I activate the Trap Card: Desperate Instinct! It forces Joker to attack my Stauriko instead and end the battle phase!" Joker then stopped for a second before turning towards Stauriko and charged at it with a punch, destroying it.

Yuya narrowed his eyes a bit as he was hoping to end this as soon as possible, "Fire Mufferlion's effect ends and Odd-Eyes's attack points return to normal."

Odd-Eyes Magician (ATK: 3000→2800)

"Due to Desperate Instinct's effect, you get to draw a card." Yuya drew a card as Shiba wasn't done

"Since Stauriko was destroyed by battle, I can Special Summon two Jurrac Tokens (ATK: 0, DEF: 0, LV: 1) to my field! And because my monster was in defense position when it was destroyed, I can Special Summon Jurrac Herra (ATK: 2300, DEF: 1500, LV: 6)!"

Genjo pushed a button on his duel disk, "I activate the Trap Card: Call of the Haunted which lets bring back Genesis Daemon (ATK: 3000) from my Graveyard!"

Yuya glared at Genjo as he brought back Genesis Daemon so it will be a problem unless Chihaya could pull this off.

Yuya gave off a sigh, "I end my turn."

"My turn! Draw! I activate the Magic Card: Big Evolution Pill! I can activate this card by tributing one of my Jurrac tokens. Now, for the three turns, I can now summon any Dinosaur-type monster without a tribute!" One of the Jurrac tokens left the field as the magic card was activated.

"I summon Jurrac Spinos (ATK: 2600, DEF: 1700, LV: 7)! Now I activate the Equip Magic: Killing Instinct! By sacrificing another token, I can equip this card onto Spinos!"

"Battle! Jurrac Spinos attack Crystron Ametrix!"

Yuya was wondered for Chihaya as he was about to activate his trap when Chihaya stopped him, "Don't make a move."

Yuya turned towards Chihaya who was looking at Yuya with both a determined and semi-pleading expression on her face. Yuya knew what that look meant, she has a plan and she's determine to end it. Yuya gave her a thumbs up as she nodded back.

Meanwhile, Jurrac Spinos charged towards Ametrix and took a huge bite off of it, destroying Ametrix.

CHIHAYA LP: 4000→3900

"Killing Instinct's effect activates! You now take damage equal to the amount of attack points your monster had."

CHIHAYA LP: 3900→1400

Even though Yuya barely knows her, she asked him to trust her and that's what he's doing. He couldn't help but still worry though.

"When Spinos destroys a monster by battle, I Special Summon a Spinos Token (ATK: 300, DEF: 0, LV: 1) to your field!" Chihaya had a token summoned on her field in attack position, leaving an opening to finish her off.

"Jurrac Herra attack the Spinos Token and end this!" Herra charged straight for the token while Chihaya still looked unfazed. After Herra destroyed the token, she made her move.

"Trap Card, open! Pressure Release! When a monster I control is destroyed by battle, the battle damage is reduced to 0!" A barrier surrounded Chihaya for a few seconds protecting her from the damage.

"And then I can Special Summon one "Crystron" monster from my Deck that has attack points equal to or less than the amount of damage I would have taken! I summon the Tuner monster Crystron Malacorse (ATK: 2000, DEF: 1600, LV: 5)!" The monster she summoned resembled a mechanical horse covered in brown crystals and had a spiked tail.

Shiba clenched his fist, frustrated that he couldn't finish the job either, "I end my turn."

It was now Chihaya's turn for a counterattack. "My turn! Draw!" Chihaya looked her at hand before pronouncing, "It's been fun but we're ready to end this now." She was looking towards with a smirk that told him she was ending it on this turn.

Genjo and Shiba were mad that Chihaya thinks this duel is over already, "What?! You really think you can end it on this turn?" "Not a chance, unless you have a monster strong enough which I doubt!"

Chihaya smirked at her opponents, "Just wait and see."

"I activate the Continuous Magic: Crystallization Recycling!"

"Now I activate Malacorse's effect! By destroying one monster, I can Special Summon a non-Tuner "Crystron" monster from my deck. I choose Prasiortle! And in exchange, I summon Crystron Sulfefnir (ATK: 2000, DEF: 1500, LV: 5)!" After Prasiortle was destroyed, out of the smoke came a monster in the shape of a dragon that had yellow armor, green crystals along with crystal wings.

"Crystallization Recycling's effect activate! Once per turn, when a "Crystron" monster I control is destroyed, I can resummon it back to the field." Chihaya brought back Prasiortle thanks to her magic card.

"I summon the Tuner Monster Crystron Quan (ATK: 500, DEF: 500, LV: 1) from my hand!" Chihaya summoned a small humanoid knight that was covered in blue crystals and glowing.

Yuya was looking at Chihaya's field as he wondered what she was up to, "Two tuners and two non-tuner monsters. Don't tell me, is she about to…?"

"I tune my Level 1 Crystron Quan with my Level 5 Crystron Sulfefnir (1 + 5 = 6)!" Chihaya pronounced her Synchro Summon, confirming Yuya's suspicions.

"From the potential of crystals comes a monster with heavy machinery! Crystal combine to form a powerful machine! Synchro Summon! Level 6! Crystron Geltrix (ATK: 2400, DEF: 2000, LV: 6)!" The monster summoned was a green humanoid machine that had a gun for its right hand and had boosters on it back instead of wings.

"Crystron Geltrix's effect activates! When this card is Synchro Summoned, I banish one monster on the field and it controller takes damage equal to its attack points! I choose Jurrac Spinos!"

"What?!" Shiba was in shock as he didn't have anything to counter that.

Geltrix was pointing its gun arm toward Spinos while charging up. Once it was done, it launched a black sphere of energy that sucked Spinos into the middle of nowhere.

SHIBA LP: 4000→1400

"I'm not done! I now tune my Level 5 Crystron Malacorse with my Level 2 Crystron Prasiortle!" Both monsters jumped up as they prepared to Synchro Summon.

"Another Synchro Summon?!" Genjo was in disbelief by what he was seeing.

"From the cores of crystals comes a monster with power beyond machinery! Crystals combine to form a powerful machine! Synchro Summon! Level 7! Crystron Bastrix (ATK: 2600, DEF: 1600, LV: 7)!" The monster summoned was a red humanoid machine that had tentacles instead of wings and also had claws attached to the back of its hands.

"Crystron Bastrix's effect activates! When this card is Synchro Summoned, all Special Summoned monsters my opponents control lose all of their attack points!"

"W-WHAT?!" Genjo and Shiba were now panicking after hearing her monster's effect.

Bastrix had its tentacles wrapped around the monsters, sucking out the power until there was none left.

Evil Emperor of Terror - Genesis Daemon (ATK: 3000→0)

Jurrac Herra (ATK: 2300→0)

"Battle! Crystron Geltrix attack Jurrac Herra! Crystron Bastrix attack Genesis Daemon!" Both monsters launched their attacks toward their respective targets and destroying them.

Genjo and Shiba were pushed back and landed on their backs as their monsters were destroyed.

SHIBA LP: 1400→0

GENJO LP: 1900→0

YUYA & CHIHAYA: WIN
GENJO & SHIBA: LOSE

Yuya was smiling as he saw how Chihaya ended the duel, "Wow. That was amazing."

Genjo and Shiba got off the ground while rubbing their heads. They then turned around and ran away, crying from Yuya and Chihaya with Genjo shouting, "I'll remember this!"

Yuya and Chihaya were dumbfounded by what they saw. They looked at each other for a few seconds and started to laugh.

After they were done laughing, Chihaya got Yuya's attention with a cough as she wanted to say something.

"Listen...Yuya." Chihaya paused for a second before continuing, "I'm sorry for overreacting when you wanted to help. I'm just...not use to people doing that." Chihaya was embarrassed as she had a stubborn expression on her face while rubbing her neck and refusing to look at Yuya so he won't see her blush.

Yuya was amused that Chihaya was embarrassed but then gave off a smile, "It's fine. I'm just glad it work out."

Chihaya then gave her own small smile, "Yeah."

Yuya then realized something that he never actually properly introduce himself, "Oh, uh, I'm sorry that I didn't introduce myself properly."

Yuya extended his hand toward Chihaya, "I'm Yuya Sakaki."

Chihaya had a neutral expression before accept his hand with a small smile, "I'm Chihaya Kotona."

As they were shaking hands, Yuya felt like he was forgetting something before refreshing his memory as to how he was here in the first place. After a few seconds, Yuya let go of Chihaya's hand and had his hands on his head with a panicked expression on his face.

"Ahhh! I just realized I'm late!"

Chihaya had a confused expression on her face as she saw Yuya panicking; then turning around and towards west of their location. Yuya came back for a second and yelled at her.

"It was nice meeting you Chihaya! Hope we meet again!" Before Yuya dashed off again.

Chihaya was still confused for a second before having her hand near her face and giving off a small giggle.

"Yuya Sakaki. What an interesting guy."


YOU SHOW DUEL SCHOOL - CLASSROOM

Yuya arrived inside the building feeling a little sweating as he ran as fast as he could toward the building. He was breathing heavily before catching his breath and announced, "Hello everyone! Yuya has arrived!"

Yuzu stood up from the couch she was sitting on when she heard him and looked at him with a smile, "Yuya!" Then two small kids, one short overweight boy and a small red haired cute girl ran over to him, "Big Bro Yuya!" They both hugged him.

Yuya smiled at them and patted their heads, "Ayu, Futoshi, how was your day?" The little girl's name was Ayu Ayukawa and the short boy's name was Futoshi Harada, the two of them are the other two students at You Show Duel School and both of them looked up to Yuya and Yuzu like older siblings.

Ayu looked at him with a troubled smile, "Well it was pretty stressful. A lot of people wanted to join You Show."

Yuya gave her a sad smile, "Yeah. I've heard. Sorry I wasn't here on time."

Yuzu put her hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry about it Yuya."

Futoshi then had an irritated expression, "Yeah, but they were mostly here to see Big Bro Yuya do another Pendulum Summoning, so when they found out you weren't here they lost interest and just left. It was so not cool that it gave me the shivers."

Yuya chuckled a little, saying "he was getting the shivers" was Futoshi's catchphrase.

"I guess I can't say I'm surprised, after all I did use an never before seen summoning method."

Yuzu came to him with a smile, "Well, we do have some good news Yuya."

Yuya looked at her confused before he noticed another person, it was a boy with blue hair and was the same age as Ayu and Futoshi.

Yuya's eyes widened as he recognized the boy in front of him, "Wait, aren't you the boy who was here some time ago before my duel with Strong to see if you wanted to join us?"

Tatsuya nodded with an excited smile on his face, "That's right. My name is Tatsuya Yamashiro and I have decided to join You Show."

Yuya smiled at him, "That's great, but may I ask why? I was sure your mom wanted you to go to a different school everything you saw before."

Tatsuya smiled in response, "Well the reason is that I really enjoyed watching you duel, I couldn't help but smile and enjoy myself as I watched you dueling against Strong Ishijima, I want to watch more of that and have fun with dueling as well."

Yuya's smile grew bigger, "Well then, welcome aboard. I'm more than glad to welcome you to You Show Duel School, I hope we will be having a lot of fun together in the future."

Tatsuya smiled excitedly, "Yeah! I hope so too also…"

"Is it okay if I call you Big Bro Yuya as well?" Tatsuya shyly asked.

Yuya's eyes widened a little before having a smile on his face again, "Sure. I'm fine with whatever you want to call me."

Tatsuya smiled happily, "Thank you Big Bro Yuya." Then all of them laughed together.

Yuya looked up at the ceiling, "So I've now got Pendulum Summoning and also made a new friend in Chihaya. I'm sure that there's a lot I still don't know about Pendulum Summoning but I'm ready to find all possibilities!"


MAIAMI CITY - CENTRAL PARK (HOURS LATER)

It was sunny out all around the park but it too bad there was currently no one there as it was still early in the morning.

Suddenly a bright flash illuminated the park for a few seconds before the light started to dim. When the flashing stopped, a girl with long purple hair, a cream vest with an underdress, worn out pants, brown boots and two brown belts was laying unconscious on her back in the grass area.

The girl slowly opened her eyes as she regained consciousness and sat up off the grass. She was confused by what happened before. She was then fully awake as looked around her surroundings. She's definitely not in her home anymore.

"Where am I?"

Alright, again I'm repeating this, that definitely took longer than I wanted it to but I'm happy.

I hope you guys like my new OC character, Chihaya, she will be interesting (at least to me) as the story progresses. What do you guys think of her?

Oh, yeah. I can't recall if I've seen them but I don't think Dragonpulse and Dragonpit was in a Fanfiction or in the anime period (at least I've never read one that had them.) So I decided to give them the spotlight.

By the way, I didn't do this before because I honestly forgot about it. But I'm going to give you a preview of the next chapter I'm planning. This preview will only have the Title of the chapter because mainly itself says it all and I don't really want to give too much away.


NEXT CHAPTER PREVIEW:

Lyrical Duelist, Another Yuzu?!
