Chapter 7: Yuya and Rin

(4 years later)

It's been four years since Yuya arrived at the city and since then Yuya has pretty much adjusted to his new life in the city. He usually spend his time dueling and hanging out with Rin and not to mention he usually help out Julia with work and other stuff she needs to get done. Also to help her out Yuya and Rin had started to compete in small duel tournaments in the commons and win some money and give to Julia. However Juila most of the time refuses the money and said that it's their money and that they should spend it on whatever it is they wanted. Also Julia believes that Yuya and Rin are destined to become great duelists one day and that they should be focused on following their dreams of winning the friendship cup one day instead of worrying about her.

Yes these four years were rough on Yuya as he was force to grow up quick due to living in the commons and the rest of the tops looked down on him even though they thought his dueling was fun and entertaining (since some tops do go to some dueling tournament in the commons). Not to mention he still miss his parents and Yuzu as well even though in Yuya's mind it was almost impossible for him to get back home but he still has hope that one day he will see his loves one back in Miami City. But as of right now Yuya was pretty content with his new life as long as he had Rin and sensei with him he felt like he can do anything even fix this society they live in.

But as of right now Yuya was about to see a change in power in the dueling world. At the orphanage the front door opened up and a figure came out "come on Rin, sensei the finals is going to start soon we can't be late" the figure who said that turned out to be Yuya who had ground taller in the past couple of years. He is now wearing brown shorts and a red and white jacket with a black shirt underneath. He was also wearing red and white tennis shoes. "Wait up Yuya!" said another figure the figure turned out to be Rin who had also gotten older and taller over the years. She was wearing a green tank top shirt and green shorts she then ran to try to catch up to Yuya.

Meanwhile Juila sighed and locked the door "honestly you two the stadium isn't going anywhere" she called out to both Rin and Yuya. "Although I don't blame them because in a few minutes we are about to have a new duel king and I still wonder who the council going to hire as the new head of security" Julia wondered as she started to go follow the kids and make her way into the duel stadium herself. The stadium was a bit far from the orphanage it was about forty five minutes away. But Yuya, Rin and Julia decided to get a head start and started to make their way to the stadium early. After about forty five minutes the trio had made their way into the stadium and is currently in the common section of the line.

"You know you got to admit I'm always amazed by this stadium and the track is awesome I can't wait till me and you duel on it Rin" Yuya said to his friend. During his four years here Rin had told him that here in the city they have riding duels. Basically that means that people duel on bikes calls D-Wheels and Yuya thought that was pretty awesome and it was almost as cool as action duels. Another thing that Yuya noticed when he duels Rin everyday and when sees the duels on TV they only use synchro summoning. He asked Rin how come they didn't use the other summoning methods like fusion and xyz. But gave Yuya a confused look and said "I never heard of those types of summoning methods before Yuya the only method we use is synchro summoning.

Yuya found that odd that this place uses one type of summoning method and that they haven't heard about fusion or xyz summoning because those summons are pretty popular all over the world. That gave Yuya all the clearance he needed that he really was in another world. But it wasn't all that bad Yuya had updated his deck a bit so that is deck is focused on synchro summoning a bit and plus he still has Odd Eyes so with his updated deck he feels like he can do anything. Rin then turned to look at Yuya and smiled "me either Yuya you remember that promise we made to each other?" Rin asked her closest friend. "Yeah that the both of us will enter the friendship cup and one of us will win it not to mention sensei will have a front role seat in seeing us duel" Yuya said as he looked at Juila.

Juila giggled "oh you guys you know I will support you guys no matter what it doesn't matter if I had to watch you guys duel on TV" Julia said. After that the trio then bought their ticket and enters the stadium to watch the finals of the friendship cup once they did that they sat at the seats their tickets were on and waited for the finalists for the friendship cup. Rin then turned to look at Yuya and Julia. "Can you guys believe that Goodwin step down not only as the duel king but head of sector security?" Rin said "It is unbelievable but he announced was that he wanted the next generation of duelists to emerge and carry the legacy he created" Julia said. "Still it might take weeks maybe even months till the council finds a new head of security" Juila continued saying.

"That's true but still I'm pretty excited about this duel who would have thought two people from the commons would make it to the finals in the friendship cup" Yuya said excitedly this right here shows that the commons can achieve something if they put their heart and mind to it. "Yeah no matter who wins I'm sure either one of those two will represent us commons well" Rin said. After she said that she looked up into the sky and noticed that a helicopter appeared in the sky and the screen in the stadium lit up and showed what looked to be a reporter who was wearing a cowgirl outfit holding a microphone. Yuya, Rin and Julia recognized the reporter she was Melissa Clare the most well know reporter in the city.

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the finals of the friendship cup! I hope you all enjoyed the friendship cup where everyone in the tops and the commons can unite as one!" Melissa announced. "Today we decide who will become the official the duel king of Neo Domino City and replace our previous duel king Rex Goodwin and surprisingly these two are both from the commons as well and rose their way into the finals lets introduce our two stars right now!" Melissa said as the stadium lights dims and the stage lights were focused onto one spot.

"This duelist had surprised many with his amazing combos with his monsters and surprise intellect when it comes to strategies say hello to the commons dueling prodigy Yusei Fudo!" Melissa announce as steam erupted from the spot the stage lights were set up and a red duel runner then jumped out of the smoke and landed on the duel track. The rider now known as Yusei the proceeded to drive his D-Wheel towards the starter line. Yusei is wearing a long sleeved blue jacket with a high collar and amber gems. Under jacket he wears a sleeveless black shirt with a red symbol that is tucked in to his black jean pants. He is also wearing amber knee pads and gloves below his elbows. "Let's go Yusei! You can win this Yusei, Show the tops the true power of the commons!" the people of the crowd said as they were all cheering for Yusei.

"It seems that everybody here in the commons is excited for Yusei" Yuya said. "Can you blame them though this is the first time ever that two commons are dueling each other in the finals and soon we are going to have another one as a new duel king" Rin said as she was pretty excited as well. "Look Yuya even some of the tops are cheering for Yusei" Rin said as she pointed to the top sections. Yuya looked and noticed that some of the tops were indeed cheering for Yusei even the kids were as well. Yuya smiled at this time at the moment the tops and the commons were truly getting along for the time being.

"Our next duelist has almost surprise many however instead of the genius intellect dueling style of Yusei this duelist has crushed everyone that stood in his way with his overwhelming power say, he is also from the commons say hello to Jack Atlas!" Melissa said. Steam had come up from the same spot where the stage light was set up however this time a white D-Wheel jumped out of the smoke and landed on the duel track. Jack then also rode his D-Wheel towards the starter line and he was now next to Yusei on his D-Wheel. "Let's Go Jack, Show everyone your power Jack!, Go Jack go!" the fans in the stadium said cheering Jack on.

Yusei then turned to look at his childhood friend "this is Jack we waited a long time for this moment to happen, are you ready?" Yusei asked the rider next to them. Jack then turned to look at Yusei "I was born ready Yusei and today I am going to take the crown and become king this is going to be the duel for the ages so makes sure you fight me at full power" Jack declared to his friend and rival. Yusei smiled "of course Jack I'm going to give it everything I got out there and I know you will do the same as well let's try to bridge the gap between the tops and us commons and bring the city together" Yusei said.

"Now then duelists start your engines and get ready till we give you the signal the first person who takes the corner first will take the first turn" Melissa explained to everybody in the stadium including Jack and Yusei. A screen appeared with a symbol of a red and green on the side appeared. "This is it Rin, Sensei were witnessing history right here" Yuya said. "Yeah your right no matter who wins I have a feeling this duel will be amazing" Rin said while Julia silently agreed. The red circle flashed red as the countdown began on the screen 3, 2, 1… "RIDING DUEL ACCERELATION!" Melissa shouted GO!. Once the green circle lit up and it said go Jack and Yusei was off to the races trying to get to the corner first.

"DUEL!" both Yusei and Jack called out in union.

YUSEI LP 4000

VS

JACK LP 4000

Both Yusei and Jack were neck and neck until the last moment Yusei accelerated until he barely managed to make it to the corner barely before Jack did. "And it looks like Yusei is the one that going to take the first turn" Melissa said. Yusei then scanned his hand before deciding what move he was going to make. "First I set a monster card face down in defense position" Yusei said as he placed a monster card in defense position on his duel disk and the card appeared on the field before vanishing. "Next I play two cards face down and end my turn" Yusei declared as he placed two cards face down on his duel disk and the two cards appeared on the field before vanishing. "Hmph you call that a first move Yusei it's about time I show you the power of a king Ore no Turn!" Jack said as he drew his card and placed it on his card holder with the rest of his cards.

"First I summon Red Sprinter!" Jack said as he placed the card on his duel disk and a flaming beast type monster appeared on the field (LV 4: ATK/1700). "When this card is summoned while I have no other monsters on my field I can special summon one level three or lower fiend type monster from my hand come Red Resonator!" Jack said as he swiped another card onto his duel disk. (LV 2: ATK/600). "Now I tune my level two Red Resonator with my level four Red Sprinter!" Jack declared as Red Resonator turned into orbs that expanded into rings as Red Sprinter moved through the rings as he gained a yellow outline. A beam of light shot through the rings "Synchro Summon!" Jack yelled. "Appear level 6 Red Wyvern!" Jack said as Red Wyvern appeared and flew right beside him on his D-Wheel (LV 6: ATK/2400).

"Amazing on his first turn Jack has managed to Synchro Summon a very power monster" Melissa announced. "Here I come Yusei battle Red Wyvern attack his face down monster!" Jack ordered as Red Wyvern flew into the air and shot a flaming like attack at Yusei's face down monster. However when the attacked it Yusei monster was still standing and what the defense monster was a pink like bird (LV 1: DEF/300). "Sorry Jack but Sonic Chick can't be destroyed by a monster with 1900 attack points or more" Yusei said as he looked back at Jack. "You got lucky this time I set one card face down and end my turn" Jack said as he swiped a card face down on his duel disk and the face down card appeared on the field before vanishing.

"It looks like Yusei save himself from Jacks attack" Yuya said "Yeah your right I wonder what Yusei would do to make some sort of counter attack" Rin said. "Ore no Turn" Yusei yelled as he drew his card. "I activate my spell card One for One" Yusei said as he pressed the button and the spell card flipped faced up on the field. "With this spell card I can discard one monster from my hand in order to special summon one level one monster from my deck I discard Quillbolt Hedgehog from my hand to summon Flamvell Guard!" Yusei said as he discarded Quillbolt Hedgehog and pulled out flamvell guard which ejected from his deck and swiped the card on the field. (LV 1: DEF/2000). "I now activate the effect of Quillbolt Hedgehog from my graveyard if I have a tuner monster on my field I can special summon him onto the field" Yusei said.

As a card ejected from the graveyard as he took and also placed it on the field in defense position which turned out to be a small brown hedgehog with bolts on it back (LV 2: DEF/600). "Next I normal summon Junk Synchron" Yusei said as he swiped a card onto his duel disk as another monster appeared on the field (LV 3: ATK/1300). "Wow in just one turn Yusei summoned three monsters" Rin said impressed by Yusei turn so far. "I tune my level three Junk Synchron with my level two Quillbolt Hedgehog!" Yusei said as Junk Synchron rev up his engine and turned into rings while Quillbolt Hedgehog went though the wings and gained outlines and a beam of light shot threw the rings. "Synchro Summon! appear Junk Warrior" Yusei said.

A purple humoid warrior with a scarf appeared and and made a pose with his fist before flying down next to Yusei (LV 5: ATK/2300). "And Yusei has successfully summon one of his primary monsters Junk Warrior on to the field!" Melissa announced as the crowd cheered at Yusei move. "I activate Junk Warrior effect he gains the attack points of all level two or lower monsters I control on the field so that's four hundred extra attack points. Junk Warrior gained a purple glow as his attack points increased (LV 5: ATK/2300-2700). "When a monster with higher attack then Red Wyvern is on the field I can use his effect to destroy that monster" Jack declared as Red Wyvern shot out a flame like attack at Junk Warrior. "I discard the monster Junk Barrier from my hand" Yusei said as he showed it to Jack and discarded it to the graveyard. "When it is discarded to the graveyard I can protect Junk Warrior from be destroyed by card effects until my opponents end phase and it gains 1000 attack points as well" Yusei said.

As Junk Warrior punched the flames away as it gained 1000 extra attack points (LV 5: ATK/2700-3700) "Amazing Yusei not only protected his Junk Warrior from being destroyed but he increased his attack points! Melissa announced. "Next I play the spell card Mystical Space Typhoon with this card I can destroy your only face down card" Yusei said as he swiped the last card in his hand and the spell card appeared and released a wind like beam and destroyed Jack facedown which turned out to be Reject Reborn. "Battle Junk Warrior attack Red Wyvern scrap fist!" Yusei said as Junk Warrior then flew and send out a invisible flaming like fist and struck Red Wyvern destroying it and causing Jack D-Wheel to shake and causing him to lose life points. (LP 4000-1300= 2700 X3). "I end my turn" Yusei said as Junk Warrior returned to his field.

"Wow Yusei was one step ahead of Jack during that the sequence" Yuya said "yeah that was some move he pulled off not only Yusei protected his Junk Warrior for at least one more turn and increased their attack points" Rin said "this duel has been amazing so far" she concluded. "Looks like Yusei has taken a early lead let's see how Jack will respond!" Melissa announced. "Ore no Turn!" Jack said as he drew his card "Yusei it's time to show you my true power! I play the spell card double summon!" Jack said as he swiped the card onto his duel disk and it appeared faced up on the field. "With this card I can normal summon two monsters instead of one so appear Top Runner and Skull Red Magician!" Jack said as he swiped the cards onto his duel disk. Top Runner had appeared on Jack left side of the field (LV 4: ATK/1100) while Skull Red Magician appeared on the right side (LV 4: ATK/1600).

"Look Yusei as I summon my very soul onto the field I tune my level four top runner with my level four Skull Red Magician" Jack said as Top Runner glowed green and turned into four orbs which expanded into rings and Skull Red Magician moved through the rings and gained a outline. "Roar of the king! Shake the heavens and forge yourself the power of an unrivalled tyrant!" Jack chanted as a beam of light shot through the rings "Synchro Shokan! Ramping Soul Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight!" Jack sad as a beam of light shot down behind him. Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight lifted his right arm as it glowed. He then spun around and roared as it flew right behind Jack. (LV: 8 ATK/3000).

"Jack has summoned his ace monster out on the field!" Melissa announced "I activate Red Daemon Dragon Scarlight ability once per turn I can destroy monsters that have attack points lower than it and you lose 500 life points now go Absolute Power Flame!" Jack said as Scarlight lighted his right fist on fire and he struck the ground with fist and released a wave of flames that destroyed flamvell guard and sonic chick however Junk Warrior protected himself and Yusei from the flames.

( LP 4000-1000= 3000 x0) "Due to having higher attack points and Junk Barrier Junk Warrior isn't destroyed however he loses four hundred extra attack points" Yusei explained as Junk Warrior lost four hundred attack points. (LV 5: ATK/3700-3300) "I set a card face down and end my turn" Jack said as he swiped the card face down on his duel disk and the card appeared face down on the field before disappearing. "Since your turn ended the effect of Junk Barrier ends and Junk Warrior attack points go back to normal" Yusei said. (LV 5: ATK/3300-2300) "Ore no Turn!" Yusei said as he drew his card and looked at. "Jack has gotten back into the game by destroying Yusei's monsters and weakening Junk Warrior attack points and since Junk Warrior attack points went back to normal due to Junk Barrier's effect ended what will Yusei do next?" Melissa announced.

"I play the spell card, card of sanctity" Yusei said as he activated the spell card "now both of us will draw until he have six cards in our hand" he explained as he and Jack both drew a completely new hand and Yusei looked at his new cards. "Perfect" he thought. "I activate the spell card Tuning From Beyond!" Yusei said as he swiped the spell card on to his duel disk as the card appeared face up on the field. "See Jack with this card I can synchro summon by using the monsters I have in my graveyard" Yusei declared. Jack widen his eyes in surprise "What? your synchro summoning by using the monsters in your grave yard!?" Jack said.

Yusei smirked a bit as he looked back at Jack before looking ahead at the track "That's right and I can use a monster on my field as a synchro material as well" he then started to chant. "Emblem of Light and Hope" the sight of a star being born could be seen, the star soon expanded as it zooms out to be a triangular black eye with a white star pattern that slowly moved as it glowed. A white hand with small black stars which moved in a pattern on it moved outward as it black claws were stretched as they had white stars that moved up and down slowly. "Against the conjuring darkness!" Yusei chanted as a white wing with black spikes shot out as a star pattern was present on it as the stars slowly started too moved.

"Awaken Hourglass of the Future, illuminate all despair" Yusei chanted. The dragon had a white chest with the middle having a black slit that got larger from down to its tail. The black sections had a white star pattern that moved with the white sections a black star pattern also moved. It's white tail slowly moved at the black star pattern slowly traveled down it. "Synchro Shokan!" Yusei chanted. The black and white dragon roared as it held its arms to the side, bending its arms upward as its wings raised upward to the wind as the dragon sparkled as its clinch its fists as it started to emit a bright white aura as it spun around in a dark blue background with stars in it. Level 8 Skylight Stardust Dragon!" Yusei called out.

Skylight Stardust Dragon roared as braced its arms and relaxed its wings as the dragon glowed and sparkled (LV 8: ATK/ 2500). "There it is folks Yusei's ace monster!" Melissa announced as the crowd roared with excitement at Yusei's dragon. "That dragon looks sweet! Go Yusei! The Dragon looks so pretty mommy!" Some people in the tops and commons said about Yusei dragon. Yusei then swiped another card into his duel disk "I activate the spell card Synchro Evolutionary-Stance by paying half my life points (LP 3000-1500 x4) "I can double the attack points of one synchro monster on my field until the end phase and I choose my Skylight Stardust Dragon!" Yusei explained as Skylight Stardust Dragon roared as it gain a white glow and its attack points went up "What!" Jack said. "Here I come Jack battle Skylight Stardust Dragon attack Red Daemon Dragons Scaright! Cosmic Nebula Wave!" Yusei said.

Skylight Stardust Dragon braced it arms and shun until it was completely white with only its blue eyes seen as it zoom around the dragon multiple times as it released its blast towards Scarlight. Trap card open Red Soul!" Jack said. "By sending two monsters from my hand to the graveyard Red Daemons Dragon Scarlight can't be destroyed by battle or card effects until the end of this turn plus I can reduce the damage I taken by the combined monsters I sent to the graveyard. "I send my second red resonator and chain resonator to the graveyard!" Jack said as he sends two of those monsters to the graveyard and Scarlight crossed his arms and withstood the blast made by his rival. (LP 2700-1800= 900). "Jack had managed to protect his monster but besides that he still managed to take a lot of damage how he is going to pull this off!" Melissa announced.

"Wow even with all of that Jack managed to reduce the damage and protect Red Daemons Dragon Scarlight" Yuya said. Rin nodded and looked at her friend "Yeah it's obvious that Scarlight means so much to Jack I mean why go all that trouble to protect it like that" Rin pointed out. "That's true Rin Jack really does treat his cards with care and respect he really earned my respect as a duelist and so does Yusei. "You're amazing as always Jack" Yusei said to his friend protecting Scarlight as it was a part of you". Jack smiled a bit "Of course Scarlight is a part of my soul I want let it get destroyed so easily".

"I end my turn" Yusei said simply "at this point Skylight Stardust Dragon attack returns to normal (LV: 8 ATK/5000-2500). "Ore no Turn!" Jack said. "I play play chain resonator!" Jack said as he swiped the card on his duel and Chain Resonator appeared in front of Jack (LV 1: ATK/100). "Furthermore Yusei when I have a synchro monster on the field I can special summon Synkron Resonator onto the field" Jack said as he swiped another card onto his duel disk and Synkron Resonator appeared on the field. (LV1: ATK/100) "Behold Yusei my very soul I tune my Synkron Resonator and Chain Resonator with my Red Deamon's Dragon Scarlight Double tuning!" "Double Tuning?" Yuya and Rin said at the same time.

"Ruler and devil become one" Jack chanted as he open his eye and you can see flames in them and Synkron Resonator and Chain Resonator became flame like rings. Red Daemons Dragon Scarlight got into the rings and closed its wings and braced its arms. "Call upon the soul of the Crimson Dragon and roar in the name of creation itself" Jack chanted as the Crimson Dragon moved behind it. "Synchro Shokan!" Jack announced as a shot of flames shot through the ground behind his D-Wheel "Level Ten Red Daemons Dragon Tyrant!" Red Daemons Dragon Tyrant spun around and roared as he then flew right by Jack. (LV 10: ATK/3500).

Amazing Jack has summoned a powerful monster how will Yusei counter this move" Melissa announced. "Red Daemons Dragon Tyrant effect it can destroy all cards on the field besides itself its over Yusei!" "Absolute Power Inferno!" Jack yelled as Tyrant stuck his fist into the ground and flame started to go to Yusei and Skylight Stardust Dragon.

"It is over Jack for you that is Skylight Stardust Dragon effect if one or more cards would be destroyed by an effect or a card I can tribute it and negate the activation of the card and destroy it go Cosmic Mirage!" Yusei said as Skylight Stardust Dragon sparkled and glowed and had a white flame in his left hand and struck the ground with it destroying himself and Tyrant. "But why give up your own monster?" Jack said. "Simple because Skylight comes back and deals you 2500 points of damage it was a fun duel jack let's have a rematch next year" Yusei declared. "What!" Jack yelled as Skylight Stardust Dragon appeared above Jack and released a white beam and blasted him "AHHHHHHHH!" Jack yelled as his life points went down to zero. (LP: 900-0).

YUSEI LP 1500

VS

JACK LP 0

WINNER: YUSEI

"That's it folks the winner and new duel king is Yusei Fudo let's give a warm welcome to our finalists of the friendship cup. Yusei turned around and went to Jack who got off his D-Wheel and took off his helmet. Once he got to him he got off his D-Wheel and took off his helmet which revealed his spiky yellow and black hair and blue eyes. "Good game Jack" Yusei said as he offered his hand "Hmph there nothing good about losing Yusei" he then smiled and shook his hand "But it really was a great match old friend you may be the king today but next year I will take your crown" Jack said. "I'm looking forward to the rematch already Jack" Yusei said as he smiled as well.

"JACK JACK JACK!" "YUSEI, YUSEI, YUSEI" the crowd chanted "it looks like we accomplished our goal a bit we united the tops and commons together" Yusei said. Jack nodded "but we still got some work to do lets try to work hard where this no such thing as tops and commons no more" Jack said. Yusei nodded at his friend as they continued to look at the crowd.

"Rin" Yuya called out to his closest friend "what is it Yuya?" Rin asked the young duelist as she turned to look at him. Yuya then held her hand with both of his hands and held it up a bit causing Rin to blush a bit. "Let's do it" Yuya said "Do what?" Rin asked her friend "Let's build our own D-Wheel and compete in the friendship cup that way we can unite the city together like Jack and Yusei watching those two entertaining the crowd like that makes me think you and I can do that do we can a whole lot of people smile". " Yuya" Rin said she can see it in his eyes how much this means to him ever since he came here Yuya knew he couldn't accomplish his goal back at his old home in Miami City.

But now he had a knew goal in fact a goal he and Rin promised and shared that they were going to do when they get older and now it looks like its time. "Rin smiled at Yuya and put her hands on with his "yeah I'm with you Yuya lets built our own D-Wheel and compete in the friendship together I feel like as long as I'm with you I feel like I can do anything you really are a inspiration to me" Rin declared to her friend. Yuya blushed at that but hid it well. "Thanks Rin that means a lot and I should thank you without you and Sensei" Yuya said as he looked at Julia who was watching Jack and Yusei "I would have been depressed my entire time here in the city. "Of course Yuya you know I would do anything for you and Sensei too and thank you for cheering me up after Yugo disappeared" Rin said mentioning her old friend. "Anytime Rin" Yuya said as he smiled. "Yes I will compete in the friendship cup and I will become the greatest champion ever!" Yuya declared.
