Hey guys! Back with another chapter and this time, it will take place after the events of the three Yu counterparts first meeting and after Yuya wakes from his coma. Hope you guys enjoy.

Chapter 4:

My eye was stuttering until I fully opened my eye and saw Kat, Yuzu, and Yuya near my bed. "Guys. W-What happened?" I put my left hand over my face until I felt something. I felt a bandage covering my left eye.

"You were attacked a few days ago. You were badly cut there and it gave you a permanent scar." Kat explained. My eyes widened as I started to remember.

"I need to see." I said but Yuzu stopped me. "No don't. Please." I ignored her as I took the bandage off and looked at the mirror. My eye was still intact but my eye color was now red instead of gold with a scar that went from halfway my forehead to my cheek.

"I'm a freak." I said. "Yuki, just calm down. You're not a freak." Yuya reassured me.

"THEN HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS!?" I shouted while pointing to my scar and eye. When I realized what I had said, I saw Kat and Yuzu freaked out by my outburst. "I need some air." I walked out of the house and ran as fast as I could to a place where they couldn't find me.


After running from the house, I came across an alleyway. I leaned on the wall to catch my breathe and thought about what I did as I touched my scar. "How am I suppose to turn this around?" I ask myself.

"It's simple." A voice said deep in the alleyway. "You have to stop blaming yourself and accept who you are." The figure stepped forward and what shocked me was that he looked just like me. He was about my height while wearing a wore down black shirt and brown pants. He had just plain black Beatles hair style, green eyes and a scar but only on his right eye.

"Who are you? Why do you look like me?" I asked.

"My name is Sekai Hoshino. I'm from the Xyz Dimension." I gasped as I never knew that I would have a doppelganger. "Are you sure? Yuto and Shun never mentioned you."

"That's because they never bothered to talk about me. Because...never mind about that." Sekai put his hand on my shoulder. "Look. I know that you're blaming yourself but you can't keep doubting yourself. My friend Ruri once told me that I can't always blame myself for being so helpless. You just gotta stand and keep fighting." I looked down considering of what he said as I touched my scar again. But then my eyes widened when I heard the name Ruri.

"Ruri? Who's that? Your girlfriend?" Sekai blushed when I said girlfriend as he calmed down and replied. "No. Ruri and I were just friends and she would hang out with me along with her brother Shun and Yuto."

"Ruri is Shun's sister?" I said in surprise. he nodded. "So that's why. I see." I closed my eyes and then opened them. "I'll consider what you said to me. I'll see ya around." I said as I started to walk out of the alleyway and to the stadium to apologize to my friends and family.

Sekai's POV:

After I saw my counterpart leave, I started to leave until I sensed something. "Come on out. I know you're there." The figure came out and was revealed to be Shun. "I didn't think that you'd be here in this dimension." I turned to him and answered. "Well? What do you want?"

"Why are you here? I thought my comrades confiscated the dimension traveling technology from the Obelisk Force." Shun said.

"I was scouting the area until I came across a small group of an Obelisk Force group. I easily defeated them and took their technology before they were teleported back to Academia." I answered.

"So you decided to follow me and Yuto here, is that it!?" Shun harshly said. "The technology I stole from them was limited as I could not get to the Fusion Dimension. I thought that if I could find other duelists, I could ask them for help. But my teleportation can only send me to the Standard Dimension." I explained.

"Hmph! If that's you're only excuse than fine! But I will never forgive you for what you did!" Shun glared as me. "Why do you keep blaming me when you don't know what happened!?" I shouted and then sighed. "I need to go somewhere for awhile." I said as I jumped and ran on the rooftops leaving Shun to himself.


Yuki's POV:

After apologizing to Yuya, Yuzu, and Kat for my outburst earlier, we went to the LDS Building and saw Gong crying and giving Yuya a bone crushing hug. I chuckled at this and then I saw the kids walk up to me. "Yuki! Good to know that you're okay!" Ayu said.

"Yeah! We were so worried about you when you fell into a coma." Tatsuya stated.

"But it looks like your fine. But I'm not." My eyes waver in confusion of what Futoshi said. "What do you mean?"

"I lost to my opponent. His name is Reira Akaba." My eyes widened when I heard that name. "Reira? What about him?"

"Well. When I dueled him, he used Fusion against me but then he used Synchro when he went up against Futoshi." Ayu explained.

'Reira can use Fusion and Synchro? If that's the case, then maybe he can also use Xyz but I can't be sure.' I thought about the shy boy I helped one time.

"Well don't worry. There's always next time so why not-" Yuya stopped when he remembered something. "Hey Yuya! You alright?" I asked. But then I remembered and looked around. "Hey. Where's Sora?" The gang gasped and looked down.

"You don't now, huh?" I said as I saw Yuya and Yuzu walk up to the three top duelists of LDS and ask them about Shun. They said that they couldn't. After the conversation, we left to go to the stadium and watch the rest of the final matches of the first round.

We watched Yaiba go up against Isao Kachidoki from the Bandit Warrior Academy. I was surprised when he showed a style of violence while dueling which resulted in defeating Yaiba in an OTK. I gritted my teeth in anger as I had never seen someone with such a violent style.

After that match was over, we watched another duel with a student from the Bandit Academy go up against another LDS student. I was not surprised when I saw another duelist with a violent style and was shocked when I saw bruises on the LDS students body and face as the winner was Shio Kasuka. Shio was wearing a different outfit like the rest of the students of the Bandit Warrior Academy. He has the same body features as Isao except he has straight up red hair like a blazing fire and deadly red demon like eyes.

After the matches were over, Nico announced to us that the results for the second round have started. I looked up my duel disk and my eyes widened when I had to go up against Shio and that was...right now as of today! I sighed as I stood up from my seat and walked down.

"Big bro, wait." I turned to Kat as she had eyes of concern staring at me. "Don't worry. I'll be fine, sis. Besides, what could possibly go wrong?"


As I entered the duel field for the last match of the day, I looked onto Shio who had a stoic expression as if he didn't care about anything.

"I know this is sudden but our President of LDS has decided to put this first match up today!" The crowd cheered while Nico announced.

"Now! The first match of the second will be Yukimuto Kabuto VS Shio Kasuka! So without further ado!It's time for the duel to begin! Action Field ON! Field Spell Sun Valley ACTIVATE!" The computer said as the Solid Vision activated and setted up the field. "Duelist locked in battle! Kicking against the earth dancing in the air alongside their monsters! They storm through this field! Behold! This is newest and greatest evolution of dueling!"

"ACTION-"

"DUEL!"

Turn 1

Yukimuto: 4000

Hand: 5

Shio: 4000

Hand: 5

"I'll start off! From my hand I summon Darkus Gargonoid!"

Darkus Gargonoid: Lv. 4 DARK Fiend ATK: 1800/ DEF: 1500

"With that, I'll end my turn!" I said as I jumped on Gargonoid and flew to find some Action Cards.

Turn 2

Yukimuto: 4000

Hand: 4

Shio: 4000

Hand: 5

"My turn. Draw."

"When my opponent controls a monster and I don't, I can special summon Flare Demon in ATK mode."

Flare Demon: Lv. 5 FIRE Fiend ATK: 2100/ DEF: 0

"A Lv. 5 monster on the first turn? Not good!" I said as I saw an Action Card and rushed to it when suddenly a boulder came at me and I barely dodged. "Whoo! That was too close." I then gasped as I saw Shio smirk and grab the Action Card. "You're too slow. Battle! Flare Demon attack Gargonoid!" The Demon created a ball of fire and destroyed my monster.

"Grgh!"

Yukimuto: 4000-3700

"With that, I end my turn."

Turn 3

Yukimuto: 3700

Hand: 4

Shio: 4000

Hand: 6

"It's my turn!"

"Perfect! I, using the Scale 1 Aquas Preyas and the Scale 10 Darkus Hades, set the Pendulum Scale!" I cried placing my pendulum cards on my duel disk as the word "PENDULUM" appeared in rainbow letters. 2 columns of blue light appear between me and in them were Preyas with the number 1 below and Hades with number 10 below. They stopped mid-air.

"Now I can summon any monsters between lv 2 to 9 at the same time!" I said.

"Swing O great Pendulum of the Soul, swirl the power of hope and bring a new light! Pendulum Summon! Come! My monsters!" I chanted as 2 lights came out of a blue portal.

"Pyrus Laserman and the star of the show! The calm and faithful dragon of blazing fire! Level 7! Pyrus Dragonoid!"

Pyrus Laserman: Lv. 6 FIRE Machine ATK: 2100/ DEF: 900

Pyrus Dragonoid: Lv. 7 FIRE Dragon/Pendulum ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000

"Here it is, folks! Yukimuto's Pendulum Summon has finally occurred!" The crowd cheered more as the others in the stands were starting to get excited.

"Let's do this! I activate Laserman's special ability! Once per turn, I can negate the effect of one monster you control and have it lose 500 ATK points." Laserman aimed it's cannons at the Demon and fired but bounced off and instead hit Laserman. "What the!?"

"Any monster effect that targets my Flare Demon gets redirected back to the monster that activated the effect." Shio simply explained.

Laserman ATK: 2100-1600

"Dammit! In that case!" I ran and grabbed a nearby Action Card. "I play the Action Spell High Dive! This gives Laserman 1000 ATK until the end of this turn!"

"Hmph! I play the Action Spell No Action. This negates your Action Card's effect and destroys it!" Shio countered. I gritted my teeth as I saw no other Action Cards around.

"In that case! Battle! Dragonoid attack Flare Demon! Boosted Dragon!" Drago opened his mouth and prepared to attack. "Hmph! I activate Flare Demon's other effect! Once per turn, I can discard one card and negate your attack. I discard Flare Guardian to the graveyard." Flare Demon summoned a wall of fire to block the fireball.

"Fine! I activate my Dragonoid's special ability! Once per turn during my Main Phase or Battle Phase, I can Fusion Summon using itself and another monster on my field as the Fusion Materials!" I yelled.

"Oh here it come, folks! Yukimuto is about to Fusion Summon!" Nico said.

"I now fuse my Dragonoid along with my Laserman!" Both monsters turned red before going into the fusion whirlpool. "Wise and calm dragon of the blazing flames, burn through the sky with your incredible speed! Fusion Summon! Soar through the skies! Level 7! Pyrus Delta Dragonoid!"

Pyrus Delta Dragonoid: Lv. 7 FIRE Dragon/Fusion ATK: 2600/ DEF: 2100

"Let's continue! Battle! Delta Drago attack Flare Demon! D-Strike Attack!" Drago roared as he formed another fireball and fired with it surrounded with meteors.

"How naive. I activate Flare Guardian's effect from my graveyard. By banishing this card from my graveyard and reducing the targeted monster's Level by 1, my Demon isn't destroyed." Shio said calmly as a Guardian like monster covered in flames took the attack.

Flare Demon Lv: 5-4

"But you still take damage!" I pointed out as Shio let out a small grunt.

Shio: 4000-3500

"I'll end my turn."

Turn 4

Yukimuto: 3700

Hand: 1

Shio: 3500

Hand: 4

"My turn. Draw."

"I think it's about time I ended this show. From my hand I play the spell Polymerization." Shio declared. "What!?"

"The cards I fuse are Flare Demon and Flare Fiend." The two monsters turned red before being swallowed in the fusion whirlpool. "Beasts of the blazing fire, combine yourselves and create the ultimate demon of flames! Fusion Summon! Arise! Level 10! King Hades - Flare King of the Underworld!" The beast arose as it took a spitting image of the Greek God Hades but covered in extreme hot flames.

King Hades - Flare King of the Underworld: Lv. 10 FIRE Fiend/Fusion ATK: 3500/ DEF: 2000

"W-What's this!? Shio has also managed to Fusion Summon as well!" Nico blurted out. "Oh this is not good!" Yuya said. "Big bro!" Kat cried out worriedly.

"I activate his effect! When this card is successfully Fusion Summoned, I must discard my entire hand to the graveyard." Shio discarded his 3 cards to the graveyard. "After that, all cards on your field are destroyed!" Hades lifted his hand and destroyed all my cards. "Oh no."

"And luckily for me, the two cards I discarded were the equip spells Helm of Darkness and The Bident. When King Hades is on the field and these cards are discarded to my graveyard, they are automatically equipped to him!" A gold helmet and a staff with two prongs resembling a pitchfork came out of the graveyard portal and went to Hades.

"With Helm of Darkness, Hades is unaffected by your card effects. And with The Bident, he gains 500 ATK for every Fiend-Type monster in my graveyard. I have three. So my King Hades gains 1500 ATK." Shio explained as the Greek looking God got bigger.

King Hades ATK: 3500-5000

"5-5000 ATK points!?" Gong exclaimed. "If Yuki gets hit, then he'll lose the duel!" Yuzu stated. "Yuki! You gotta find an Action Card somewhere!" Shuzo shouted out trying to encourage me but I couldn't find any Action Cards.

"I also activate Flare Keeper's effect from my graveyard! As long as he's in my graveyard, we can't activate effects or move cards from our graveyards." I gasped as I had nothing to do.

"This is the end! Battle! King Hades! Attack him directly!" The monster lifted his pitchfork and was about to strike me. "Tch! No choice! From my hand, I activate the effect of Pyrus Juggernoid from my hand! By sending this card to the graveyard and when there is a FIRE monster present on the field, all spells and traps are destroyed!" My red Juggernoid spun in it's shell and smashed all of the equip cards on Hades.

King Hades ATK: 5000-3500

"How pointless." King Hades continued his attack and blasted me with flames. "GAAAAAHHHHH!"

Yukimuto: 3700-200

"Fine then. You want to do this the hard way then." Shio jumped and picked up an Action Card. "I play the Action Spell Wonder Chance. This card allows my King Hades to attack again!" The You Show members gasped as I struggled to get up.

"King Hades! Annihilate him with your Flames of Despair!" Hades prepared another attack until I took my ace card from my Extra Deck. "From my Extra Deck, I activate Divine-Eyes Elemental Dragon effect! When my LP are 1000 or less and I have no cards on my field and I would take a direct attack, I can special summon this monster from my Extra Deck in DEF mode!" I said as everyone's eyes in the stadium widened in shock. "When life is extinguished, there is still hope for the future! Use your beautiful divine eyes to break through the doors of despair! Descend! Rank 8! Divine-Eyes Elemental Dragon!"

Divine-Eyes Elemental Dragon: Rank 8 LIGHT Dragon/Xyz ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500 OU: 0

"A Special Summon from the Extra Deck? Impossible!" Shio stuttered but calmed down. "But still! your monster will be destroyed!" Hades fired the his attack but I finally found a nearby Action Card and jumped to reach it. The attack hit and smoke was emitted covering the field. Many spectators were wondering what was happening when the smoke started to get clear with my dragon still standing.

"What!?" Shio exclaimed as I was standing alongside a glowing card next to me. "I activated the Action Spell Miracle meaning my monster can't be destroyed." I explained.

"Whoa! Yuki has managed to hang on but how will he come back from this!?" Nico said.

"It seems you survived this turn but your own darkness will crawl upon you." I stood motionless as dark clouds started to darken the area. "Fall into the pitch-black darkness."

I gripped my hands tightly until I felt something beat inside me. I held my head in pain until I felt...nothing.

My eyes were closed until they opened and my eyes started glowing in a harsh red and gold glow.

Turn 5

Yukimuto: 200

Hand: 0

Shio: 3500

Hand: 0

"My turn. Draw." I said in a rather threatening voice.

"From my hand I play the spell Pendulum Backup! When I have three or more Pendulum monsters in my Extra Deck, I can add two Pendulum cards in my deck to my hand. And I'm adding from my deck Divine Clear Magician and Divine Corrupt Magician to my hand." I declared. "And now I, using the Scale 3 Divine Clear Magician and the Scale 12 Divine Corrupt Magician, set the Pendulum Scale!" I cried placing my pendulum cards on my duel disk as the word "PENDULUM" appeared in rainbow letters. 2 columns of blue light appear between me and in them were Clear Magician with the number 3 below and Corrupt Magician with the number 12 below. They stopped mid-air. Clear Magician consisted an outfit of white colored magician clothes with a white hood shadowing his eyes and Corrupt Magician consisted of black colored magician clothes with a black hood shadowing his eyes.

"Now I can summon any monsters between lv 4 to 11 at the same time!" I said.

"Swing, Pendulum of the Divine! With the this new power, bring everything down to subjugation! Pendulum Summon! Come forth! My monster servants!" I chanted as 3 lights came out of a blue portal.

"From my Extra Deck! Aquas Preyas, Darkus Hades, and finally Pyrus Dragonoid!"

Aquas Preyas: Lv. 6 WATER Aqua/Pendulum ATK: 2300/ DEF: 1200

Darkus Hades: Lv. 9 DARK Machine/Pendulum ATK: 3200/ DEF: 1500

Pyrus Dragonoid: Lv. 7 FIRE Dragon/Pendulum ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000

"I activate Clear Magician's Pendulum effect! Once per turn, I can changes the levels of all the monsters on my field between 1 to 8." I declared as Clear Magician lifted his hand and chanted a spell that altered all my Pendulum monster's levels. "I change all my Pendulum monster's levels to 4!"

Aquas Preyas Lv: 6-4

Darkus Hades Lv: 9-4

Pyrus Dragonoid Lv: 7-4

"What's he planning?" Yuya wondered.

"I now overlay my lv 4 Preyas, Hades, and Dragonoid in order to build the overlay network!" My three monsters turned blue, purple, and red before going into a galaxy portal. "Dragon with mysteries beyond imagination and power from a doomed dimension, rise and slay everything in your way! Xyz Summon! Arise! Rank 4! Darkus Leonidas!"

Darkus Leonidas: Rank 4 DARK Dragon/Xyz ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000 OU: 3

"Whoa! Now Yukimuto controls two Xyz dragons but will it be enough?" Nico said.

"Now I activate Corrupt Magician' Pendulum effect! Once per turn, I can change an Xyz monster's Rank and make it the same as another's on the field!" Corrupt Magician raised his hand and casted a spell on my two dragons. "I change Leonidas' Rank to 8!"

Leonidas Rank: 4-8

"What!? That's possible!?" Shio exclaimed.

"I now overlay my Leonidas and Divine-Eyes Elemental Dragon in order to build the overlay network!" Both dragons turned purple and yellow before going into a galaxy portal. "Arise, dragon with eyes of pure rage! With you new found powers, destroy everything that stands in your way! Xyz Summon! Arise! Rank 0! Divine-Eyes Leonidas Dragon!" The dragon arose with some features of Leonidas but with the two gold thunderbolt symbols on it's chest and gold eyes filled with rage. As it's roar emitted real shockwaves that went across the field and stadium.

Divine-Eyes Leonidas Dragon: Rank 0 DARK Dragon/Xyz ATK: 3900/ DEF: 2500 OU: 2

"W-What's this!? Yukimuto has just used 2 Xyz monsters to summon a Rank...0 Xyz monster!?" Nico blurted totally shocked with the rest of the crowd.

"Impossible!" Shio exclaimed.

"I-I've never heard of a Rank 0 Xyz monster before!" Shuzo said.

"I now activate my dragon's effect! By using one overlay unit, I can negate the effects of all monsters except himself on the field and graveyard. After that, my dragon gains 500 ATK points for every monster in both our graveyards until the end of this turn. Alpha Divine Howling!" My dragon roared yellow and purple waves as every monster lost their effects and their power went to Divine-Eyes Leonidas Dragon.

Divine-Eyes Leonidas Dragon OU: 2-1

"There are 10 monsters in both our graveyards so therefore he gains 5000 ATK."

Divine-Eyes Leonidas Dragon ATK: 3900-8900

"T-This can't be!" Shio shouted.

"Battle! Divine-Eyes Leonidas Dragon! Destroy everything in your path! Alpha Divination Destruction!" My dragon opened it's mouth and fired as the blast turned into hundreds of small lines of energy blasts which destroyed King Hades and most of the field.

"GAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

Yukimuto: 200(Winner)

Shio: 0

As the duel was over, many people were in shock of my performance and saw that Shio was knocked unconscious and covered in bruises. "T-The winner is...Yukimuto Kabuto." Nico announced quietly quite in shock.

As I regained my senses, my eyes stopped glowing as I felt lightheaded again and fell down unconscious.


Kat's POV:

"Big bro!" I cried and ran down to the stage until I was stopped by LDS security people. "Let me through! He's my brother!" I cried as I saw him carried on a medical rack and taken to the LDS medical bay at the school. "Big brother! BIG BROTHER!"


Reiji's POV:

Reiji was in the LDS control room observing Yuki. "You just got more interesting, Yukimuto." Reiji stood up from his chair and started to leave the room.

"He'll be a good candidate for the Lancers."

And done! Sorry that this came late but unfortunately I have bad news. As 3rd quarter of my school is on, I have to study more and I can write for a while so let's just say I'll be on hiatus until the next update. I hope you guys understand. I'll see ya folks because the fun has only just begun!
