"Alright, everyone, I hope the previous duel was pleasing to you, but it's finally time," Reiji said. "The last duel among these four. Yuya Sakaki and Yuto Genkai!"

The crowd cheered as the names were announced and the two duelists took the stage. They stopped and looked at each other, seeing the heated determination to be the best.

"What are they doing?" Rin asked.

"They're speaking with their eyes," Yuzu said. "Either that or telepathically."

"The second one would make sense," Serena said. "After all, they did share a body since before I first came to Standard. Well, back when it was Standard."

"It's the same look Yuto and niisan would give each other before they duel," Ruri said.

"They're ready to fight," Yuri said.

"Now that I think about it, right before Yuya absorbed Yuto, I showed up and dueled Yuto," Yugo said. "I think they were in the middle of a duel when I got there."

"Just like with Yuya's first duel against Reiji. It wasn't settled until we were revived."

"So this is something to finish."

"Good luck, Yuto," Shun said.

"Fight as hard as you can," Kite said.

"Yuya and Yuto!" Allen shouted. "This is intense! I don't know who to root for!"

"Well, you could always cheer for both," Sayaka said.

"Yuya! Good luck!" Grace shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Seriously, you are really getting too involved," Gloria said, though she did look forward to this.

"Good luck, Yuya-oniichan!" Tatsuya shouted.

"You too, Yuto-oniichan!" Ayu shouted.

"This gives me so many shivers, I can't stand it!" Futoshi said.

"This is going to be epic, Yuto," Yuya said.

"You got that right, Yuya," Yuto said. "To be honest, ever since I met you, I've wanted to duel you. Getting to duel the son of the man who taught us to duel with smiles, how could I not?"

As they spoke the screen showed Yusho.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I know you are all looking forward to this duel. I am as well, especially since it is my son Yuya going up against Yuto. When I had to leave three years ago to help the residents of the XYZ dimension, I was at first saddened to leave my son and wife. But like I told my son, when you feel like crying, then you should laugh, and that helped me more than I could have ever thought. Not that long after arriving in Heartland, I met a kind little girl with an all too familiar face."

"Teacher is talking about me," Ruri said.

"That girl's name was Ruri Kurosaki. She shares the same face as a girl I saw as my neice, Yuzu Hiragi." Both girls got spotlights put on them, making them smile at the attention. "I thought I was happy before after seeing someone with the same face as Yuzu, but then I saw Yuto, a boy who resembled my son. So I suppose for me, it's not just a duel between two boys. It's like watching a duel between two sons. And that is why I'm going to cheer for both of them. If you have a hard time choosing who to cheer for, then don't choose. Just cheer for both of them!" And so people did just that, chanting both Yuya and Yuto's names. "Now, you two, show everyone your best entertainment!"

"Then let's not disappoint him, Yuto," Yuya said tossing his duel disk into the air and setting it. "Don't hold back and give me everything you got!"

"You better do the same, Yuya!" Yuto said as he thrust his arm up and activated his duel disk.

The action field activated, Castle of Chaos.

"This is where Yuya Sakaki first defeated me," Ishijima said as he watched the duel.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" they said together. "For this duel, please join us in the chant!"

"Duelists locked in battle!" the Pendulum section said together.

"Kicking the earth..." the XYZ crowd shouted.

"...And dancing in the air alongside their monsters!" Synchro shouted.

"They storm through this field!" the Fusion dimension spectators shouted.

"Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling!" the four dimensions said together.

"ACTION..." Yusho and the Akabas said...

"...DUEL!" Yuya and Yuto said.

"Yuto, you go first," Yuya said.

"Alright then. I place one card facedown. And now I activate it, The Phantom Knights of Shade Brigandine!"

"Activating a trap right when you set it?"

"If I have no trap cards in my graveyard, I can activate this card the turn I set it. This card is treated as a level 4 normal monster." A black breast plate with black energy spilling out of it appears. "Now I summon The Phantom Knights of Fragile Armor. Using my level 4 Fragile Armor and Shade Brigandine, I overlay! Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"

"You're not wasting any time, are you, Yuto?"

"You told me not to hold back, didn't you? Now I place two cards facedown, and end my turn."

"My turn! Draw! With Scale 3 Xiangke Magician and Scale 8 Xiangsheng Magician, I set the Pendulum Scale! Now I can summon monsters between levels 4 and 7 at the same time! Swing, pendulum of souls! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Appear now! My monsters!" Three beams of light shot out. "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon! Performapal Odd-Eyes Light Phoenix! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! I activate Xiangsheng's effect, making Light Phoenix the same level as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Now, using the level 7 Light Phoenix and Saber Dragon, I overlay! Dragon with different colored eyes, show them the power of your ice-cold fire! Xyz Summon! Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon!" A new dragon that looked to be made of ice. "Now, attack Dark Rebellion, Absolute!"

"Dark Rebellion that way!" Yuto said, grabbing an action card. "Action Magic, Miracle!" Yuto's life points fell to 3850.

"I end my turn."

"I draw!" Yuto saw what he drew and smiled. "Awesome! First off, I activate Phantom Knights of Possession, making Dark Rebellion the same level as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"

"Why would he do that?" Yugo asked. "He can't XYZ summon with one monster, right?"

"Right, but he wouldn't do something like that without a reason," Yuri said.

"Now I activate my facedown card, Super Overlay! With this card, I discard a card from my hand can XYZ summon using monsters I control and monsters you control!"

"What, XYZ summon with your opponent's monsters?"

"Yeah, and I use my now Level 7 Dark Rebellion and your Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon to overlay!"

"Could he be summoning...?" Gongenzoka asked.

"Dragon of dual colored eyes. Unleash that black scale of wrath, eradicate all opposing enemies! Xyz Summon! Come forth, Rank 7! Dragon with eyes of rage! Supreme King Black Dragon - Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon!"

"That's our dragon! Wow, being on the other side, gotta say I'm a little scared and excited."

"Well, I attack your Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon. Thunder of Revolution!"

"I activate Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon's effect! By removing an Overlay Unit, I negate your attack! And special summon an Odd-Eyes from my graveyard or hand! I choose the Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon I just detached!"

"I end my turn."

"I draw!" Yuya smiled at what he just drew. "Using the already set scale, I pendulum summon! I summon Dragoncaller Magician! I can make him dragon type until the end of this turn." An energy dragon went through the magician as its type changed. "Using Xiangke Magician's effect, I turn Rank 7 Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon into level 7. Now, with the Level 7 Dragoncaller Magician and Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon, I overlay!" The two monsters went into the portal. "Dragon with dual colored eyes! Resurrect from the deep darkness. With the flame of rage, incinerate everything on the earth! Xyz Summon! Come forth, Rank 7! The blazing dragon called by calamity! Supreme King Violent Dragon - Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon!"

"The dragon that was born when Ruri and Serena were under that Doktor's control. Both dragons we first summoned using our dragons."

"Yep. I detach all its overlay units to destroy all other cards except itself and gain 200 attack for each!"

"I activate Action Magic Mirror Barrier! Odd-Eyes Rebellion can't be destroyed by card effects!"

"But three cards are still destroyed and he can attack twice! Attack! And thanks to Dragoncaller, his attack is doubled! Destruction Burst of Rage!"

Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon went up to 7200. Yuto got on his dragon and flew to grab another action card. "Action Magic Encore! I activate Miracle in my graveyard!" Yuto's life points fell to 2250

"Here's the second attack! Destruction Burst of Rage!"

"Action magic Evasion!"

"I place a card facedown and end my turn."

"I draw!" Yuto smiled at what he drew. "I activate Phantom Knights of Shadow Sneaking! I target one Dark-Attribute XYZ monster I control as well as one non-XYZ monster my opponent controls. The non-XYZ is destroyed. Then, the XYZ monster I control gains 100 attack points times the level of the destroyed monster until the end of this turn. Also, my monster can attack directly this turn!"

"Wait, attack me directly?!" Yuya got on Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon to find an action card.

"Yeah, so go, Supreme King Black Dragon! Direct Attack! Thunder of Revolution! Also, when I do this, Odd-Eyes Rebellion's attack increases by 100 times his rank. That's an extra 700." The dragon's attack went up to 3700 as the dragon attacked when Yuya grabbed an action card.

Yuya's life points fell to 300.

"Damage Draw! I draw two cards!"

"I end my turn."

"Looks like Yuto wins," Rin said.

"Don't be too sure," Serena said.

"Yeah, Yuya can still pull something out."

Yuya drew his next card and decided to finish it now.

"Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon attack Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon!"

Yuto flew and grabbed an action card, smiling at what he got.

"Action Magic Double Attack! This doubles Odd-Eyes Rebellion's attack!"

The two dragons attacked each other, clawing at each other before biting each other's necks as they flew up and crashed down.

"Looks like our dragons are gone, and I just need to draw a monster next turn with at least 300 attack points, and I win."

"Sorry, Yuto, but you won't get a next turn. I activate Pendulum Reborn! This special summons one Pendulum monster either face-up in my extra deck or from my graveyard! Come back, brave dragon with different colored eyes! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Direct attack! Spiral Strike Burst!"

Yuto rushed to get an action card, but was just short by a second as his life points fell to zero.

"And Yuya wins!" Nico Smiley said as the crowd cheered for the tomato-haired child.

Yuya walked up to Yuto, extending his hand. Yuto smiled and took the hand as Yuya helped him up.

"That was a good duel, Yuya," Yuto said.

"You got that right, Yuto," Yuya said. "If I didn't have Pendulum Reborn, I woulda lost."

"Let's give it up for the best user of the dimensional dragons, Yuya Sakaki!"

The cheers roared but then a loud voice spoke.

"Hold it right there!"

The people turned to the sound of the voice to see a man in a trench-coat. He jumped down and summoned a card that landed on the ground, creating a huge dust cloud.

"Who do you think you are?" Nico said.

In the dust cloud, Yuya saw two different colored lights, orange and green.

"Wait, it can't be," Yuya said. As the dust cloud cleared, Yuya, Yuzu, and everyone who saw Yuya's duel against Ishijima gasped in shock. "Odd-Eyes Dragon?! But how? When I got Pendulum, it turned into Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"

"Moreover there's no way anyone else should have that dragon," Leo Akaba said before he gasped. "Unless... that's..."

The cloaked figure tossed it off, showing his face, which shocked everyone, but none moreso than the dragon boys and Leo.

"No way..." Yuri said.

"It can't be..." Yugo said.

"How is this possible?" Yuto asked.

"You... you're..." Yuya tried to say.

The man on top of the dragon had silver hair with light green highlights, having striking similarities in hair design to the dual-hair color of all of dragon boys and Yuri's side-parted hair. He was wearing a blue and white jacket with orange borders, like Yugo's Turbo Suit, and a black undershirt. He wore thick red-brownish gloves, black pants with brown chaps, faded gold knee pads, dark-blue suspenders with faded gold buckles hanging from a red-brownish belt with two large holsters, like Yuto's belt, a large faded gold buckle, and brown shoes with dark-blue outlines and straps. However, the most shocking part was his face. He had yellow eyes and he looked like an older version of the dragon boys.

"Hello, everyone. I am the original user of the four dragons and the previous self of the four you just saw duel. My name... is Zarc."


and there's the mystery person. sadly it was kinda obvious so three people already guessed it. but hey, nice entrance right, and nice duel from Yuto. also, a couple people pointed out I didn't finish when Yuto attacked directly, so I fixed it. sorry about that.
