Epilogue: Bonds Between Pasts and Futures

Arc-V Timeline(Standard Dimension)

The city of Maiami City was almost disappearing as buildings started turning to rubble and the sky was still black. Yuya's counterpart brothers summoned their respective Dimension Dragons to fly around and get people to safety. Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri were currently running around together for any other people that were still in the city. "Hey! is anyone here!? If you're still here, come to the sound of our voices!"

The same went for the Hiragi sisters and Shun as they evacuated the last of the citizens to LEO Corporations. After everyone was in LEO Corporations, the 3 Sakaki brothers came in through the roof. Yuzu looked out the window and whispered, "Yuya. Please come back." She then felt a hand on her right shoulder as Yuto comforted her and reassured that Yuya will be fine. Just then, Reiji Akaba came in and asked them to follow him. Reiji led them to the control room along with the Sakaki brothers, Hiragi sisters, Shun, Sora, and Gongenzaka.

"You all need to see this. I managed to create a Time Window and look at what I found." Reiji said as the others looked and saw the duel happening in the past.

"Yuya?" Yuzu said.

"Yes. And look who he's dueling with." Reiji pointed out to the other 3 heroes.

"Yuma?" Yuto, Ruri, and Shun said.

"Yusei?" Yugo and Rin said.

"Jaden?" Yuri and Serena said.

"Do you guys know them?" Gongenzaka asked.

They nodded and told them how they knew them. Yuto, Ruri, and Shun knew Yuma from the school they used to go to from the Xyz Dimension. Yugo and Rin have heard of him as the strongest Turbo Duelist from the Synchro Dimension. Yuri and Serena have read about Jaden and the other duelist from Duel Academy's past before it was taken over by Leo Akaba in the Fusion Dimension.

"You all may also be surprised of the last duelist Yuya is dueling with." Reiji said as he pointed out to the King of Games.

"YUGI MOTO!?" All except Reiji shouted in surprise.

"But wait. Who are they dueling?" Serena questioned. The window turned and faced Horace with Malefic Truth Dragon on the field.

"It's that guy from before. He stole Yuya's Odd-Eyes." Yugo stated.

"What's their current stats?" Ruri asked.

"We'll have to wait and see how this goes out." Yuto said.

Original Timeline

"It's my turn and I play the spell Malefic Selector. By removing Malefic Parallel Gear and Malefic Cyber End Dragon, i can add 2 Malefic monsters to my hand. Now I send Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon from my Deck to the graveyard to summon Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Malefic Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon: Lv. 8 DARK Dragon ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2500

Malefic Red-Eyes Black Dragon: Lv. 7 DARK Dragon ATK: 2400/ DEF: 2000

"He even took Kaiba and Joey's Dragons?" Yugi said.

"And I'll make things even worst by sending Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon from my Extra Deck to the graveyard to summon Malefic Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"

Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon appeared with the same black and white wings and Malefic armor.

Malefic Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon: Lv. 12 DARK Dragon ATK: 4500/ DEF: 3800

"Even Ultimate Dragon too!?" Yugi shouted.

"Now Red-Eyes attack! Destroy DMG with Inferno Fire Blast!" Horace cried.

"I don't think so! I play my trap Mirror Force to destroy all your monsters!" Yugi shouted.

As all the Malefic monsters were destroyed, Horace then smirked and then laughed. "EH HA HA HA HA! FOOLS! YOU BROUGHT YOURSELVES YOUR OWN DEMISE! SINCE MALEFIC TRUTH DRAGON WAS DESTROYED, BY BANISHING ALL OTHER MALEFIC MONSTERS IN MY GRAVEYARD INCLUDING HIMSELF, I CAN SUMMON MY MOST POWERFUL MONSTER, MALEFIC SIN DRAGON! RAAHHH!" A purple portal even bigger than the one Truth Dragon appeared through opened and appeared a black and white dragon that was 150 feet tall with blood red eyes, 4 arms and 2 tails. It was then Horace did the same fusion with his monster like Paradox did.

Malefic Sin Dragon: Lv. 13 DARK Dragon ATK: ?/ DEF: ?

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" All the heroes shouted at the giant dragon.

"This monster is the ultimate creature of destruction. It's attack power is equal to the ATK of all the banished Malefic monsters used to summon this monster making it the strongest monster on the field. Furthermore, this monster is unaffected by all your spells, traps, and monster effects!" Horace stated.

"WHAT?" the heroes were wide eyed and shocked as they saw it's attack power rise.

Malefic Sin Dragon ATK: ?-36,900

"36,900!?"Jaden shouted.

"That can't be!" Yusei yelled.

"Oh this is bad!" Yuma whimpered.

"And that's not all! When this card is summoned successfully, all spells and traps in all your graveyards are removed from play and for each one, Sin Dragon gains 500 ATK points." Horace stated as Sin Dragon's eyes glowed and every spell and trap in the heroes' graves were banished.

"All of you fools have 17 spell and trap cards giving my dragon 8,500 more ATK points."

Malefic Sin Dragon ATK: 36,900-45,400

"Oh man! How are supposed to deal with this now!?" Yuma exclaimed.

"It's over! Malefic Sin Dragon attack Yugi's Dark Magician and wipe out the rest of their LP!" Sin Dragon fired a white beam with black highlights at Yugi's direction.

"Not so fast! I play the spell De-Fusion! Utopian Neos! Time to split!" Jaden quickly reacted.

Elemental Hero Neos: Lv. 7 LIGHT Warrior ATK: 2500/ DEF:2000

Number 39 Utopia: RANK 4 LIGHT Warrior/Xyz ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000

"Now Yuma!" Astral and Jaden shouted.

"Right! I play the trap Xyz Cancel! Since I control an Xyz monster, by tributing two monsters on the field, I can end the battle! I tribute DMG and Jet Warrior and end the battle!" Yuma shouted.

"Hmph! This won't change anything! I play Sin Dragon's other ability! By paying 1000 LP, all your monsters are destroyed!" Sin Dragon let out a dark aura and blasted it to the heroes' ace monsters and destroyed them. "Oh, did I forget to mention that for every monster destroyed by this special ability, you take 1000 points of damage!"

Horace: 1900-900

"GAAHHH!" The force was so strong that the heroes were forced back and landed on their backs. The force also disrupted the time window in the Arc-V timeline and cracked the glass.

Yugi, Jaden, Yusei, Yuma, Yuya: 5500-500

"That's right you fools. You have no other monsters on your field and even if Yuya pendulum summons, he can't stand up to me. I now end my turn." Horace stated.

'He's right. I don't have anything in my deck that can help me. What can I do?' Yuya thought as he put down his goggles not wanting anyone to see him cry. "I guess it is hopeless. Even with Yuma, Yusei, Jaden, and Yugi's help, I failed our worlds." Yuya whispered.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Hey just like that your giving up? Sure we may be in cornered situations but you forget that we have a secret weapon." Jaden said as Yuya looked up to him with his goggles on.

"That's right. Yuya listen. Yugi once taught me this. We all believe in Duel Monsters with all of our hearts while Horace does not. And when you believe, you always have a chance." Yusei said recalling what Jaden and Yugi once taught him when they first met.

"Yeah Yuya! You just have to stand up and win it all!" Yuma said and Astral nodded by his side.

"And Yuya." Yugi began.

"Huh?" Yuya said.

"It's up to you now. Just know that we're right behind you. Us. And the friends you made in your era." Yugi finished.

Yuya's eyes widened behind his goggles and remembered all the times he has had close calls. All his friends appeared before him smiling in spirit and saying that they are behind Yuya. Yuya stood up and removed his goggles as the tears fell down with his eyes closed and started smiling.

"Alright guys. Let's do this for all our worlds. Lend me your strength and we will win this." Yuya said.

"Alright then take it and end this." Yugi said as he lifted his right hand along with the others as they channeled their energy to Yuya as his left eye turned green and then glowed with his right crimson eye.

Turn 10

Horace: 900

Hand: 0

VS.

Yugi, Jaden, Yusei, Yuma, Yuya: 500

Yugi Hand: 0 Jaden Hand: 0 Yusei Hand: 0 Yuma Hand: 0 Yuya Hand: 0

"Let's go! My turn! Swing pendulum! More and more!" Yuya yelled as he drew his card and then smirked.

"What are you smiling about!?" Horace yelled.

"Horace. From here on out. THE FUN HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN! With my currently setted Scale 1 Stargazer and Scale 8 Timegazer, I can summon monsters between levels 2-7! Swing, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether! PENDULUM SUMMON! Come forth! The dragon with mysterious eyes! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: Lv. 7 DARK Dragon/Pendulum ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000

"So what!? Even Pendulum Summoning alone is useless against me!" Horace stated.

"Is that so?" Yuya said.

"Huh?" Horace said.

"I play the spell Bonds Beyond Time and Space! This card was created with the bonds we share combined. With this card since I special summoned this turn, I can target up to 4 monsters in our graveyards that have the same ATK as the special summoned monster and summon them to my field all in ATK mode!" Yuya yelled as the graveyard portal opened and out came Dark Magician, Neos, Stardust Dragon, and Utopia.

Dark Magician: Lv. 7 DARK Spellcaster ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2100

Elemental Hero Neos: Lv. 7 LIGHT Warrior ATK: 2500/ DEF:2000

Stardust Dragon: Lv. 8 WIND Dragon/Synchro ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000

Number 39 Utopia: RANK 4 LIGHT Warrior/Xyz ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000

"B-But I just destroyed all those monsters." Horace exclaimed.

All the heroes nodded as they prepared their only facedown cards.

"I play the trap Neos Spiral Force to double Odd-Eyes ATK points!" Jaden started.

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK: 2500-5000

"Now I play my trap Stardust Spiral Force to further double Odd-Eyes ATK points!" Yusei yelled.

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK: 5000-10,000

"I now play my trap Utopian Spiral Force to double Odd-Eyes ATK again!" Yuma followed along.

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK: 10,000-20,000

"I also play a trap Dark Spiral Force! And due to this force, I target Yuya's Odd-Eyes and double it's ATK points once again!" Yugi yelled.

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK: 20,000-40,000

"So what!? Odd-Eyes ATK points can't even come close to Sin Dragon's ATK. Face it! You've all lost!" Horace shouted.

"Horace! You still forgot my one facedown card on my field. I play my trap Odd-Eyes Unity Force! If my monster's ATK was doubled, I can further double Odd-Eyes ATK points!" Yuya finshed.

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK: 40,000-80,000

"80,000 ATK POINTS!? NO NOT AGAIN!" Horace yelled.

"That's right!" the 5 heroes said.

Yuya jumped up on Odd-Eyes and held on. "It's show time!" Odd-Eyes roared and ran toward Sin Dragon and then jumped as it glowed red. Along with Odd-Eyes were Dark Magician glowing purple, Neos glows white, Stardust glows blue, and Utopia glows yellow. All ace monsters fired their attacks as they combined.

"Now go! RISING DARK COSMIC SPIRAL BURST!" the heroes cried simultaneously.

"NOOOOOOOO!" Horace was obliterated as the wave hit and destroyed Sin Dragon and Malefic World disappeared.

Horace: 0

Yugi, Jaden, Yusei, Yuma, Yuya: 500(Winners)

4 hours later

Our heroes stand on a building and they looked at the sunset and the tournament being hosted down the city square with satisfied looks.

"Well looks like our work here is done." Jaden began.

"Looks that way." Yugi replied

"Oh man! It's been nice knowing you guys. Hey think we'll ever bump into each other again?" Yuma commented.

"Probably. But lets hope that when we do, the whole world of Duel Monsters isn't on the line again." Yusei answered.

"You said it Yusei. Maybe we could duel one another next time." Yuya said.

"Well whatever happens, I know the bond we formed here today is one that's going to stand the test of time." Yugi said.

"All of time." Jaden said as he stretched out his hand.

"Yup." Yuma said as he followed.

"Absolutely." Yusei said as he did the same. Then Yuya and Yugi stretched out their hands joining in.

"Well. It's time we returned to our own times." Yuya said as his eyes glowed and opened 4 portals that lead to the 4 eras.

"Until next time!" Yuya shouted as the 4 heroes stepped in the portal to their respective timelines.

Arc-V Timeline(Standard Dimension)

Yuya stepped out of the portal and his eyes returning to normal as he looked at Maiami City as the buildings and sky returned to normal. 'At long last, I'm hoping that dueling won't be used for bad things and start smiling again. Because the fun doesn't come from the cards. It's in all the friendships I forged thanks to the game.' As soon as Yuya finished, he saw his counterpart brothers, the Hiragi sisters, Shun, Sora, and Gongenzaka run to him and congratulate him. Yuya's Saturday was just perfect.
