I feel like my character Muzaku should have had a full duel but I felt like more about what is going on with the other characters is more important. Maybe in a flashback I will show you what happened between Muzaku and that duelist. Thanks for the two hundred views I now have in one month on this story. When I stopped writing for awhile it only had seven views so I can't wait to see how many more people read this chapter.
Chapter 9: The Road That Will Let The Four Dimensions Live To See Smiles
Aspa not only had the luxury of watching movies (adventures were his favorite like Indiana Jones) but thanks to his playstation 4 he could play video games like Uncharted and Tomb Raider. What those three things had in common was elaborate obstacles the player character had to think through if they wanted to leave with something valuable without dying.
Mukazu expressed concern for Aspa when he couldn't solve the riddle of which slide to go down.
" People absorb horse power in which century was horse saddles invented?"
Mukazu never even met a rear horse before and if it wasn't for one particular past time he would be guessing forever.
" We take the eleventh slide." Mukazu told Aspa.
" Giddy up." Aspa laughed.
Mukazu didn't find the humor in talking about horseback riding when they solved a clue.
The next room was a trap of nine panels with each one having three monsters.
" I don't get this." Aspa said. He almost took a step forward but was stopped by Mukazu.
The young Sector Security rider hurled a rock on a panel six feet past them. A trap was triggered when the wrong panel was touched, a flamethrower moving upwards disintegrated the rock with wreathed fire.
" This one is trying to test how well we know levels. How good are you at knowing monsters?" Mukazu asked.
" I know the levels of my Fusion monsters but not any of my other monsters." Aspa admitted.
" Then just walk the path I do. Mukazu stepped on the panel in order: Kuribon, D/D Swirl Slime, Lunalight Tiger, Performapal Pendulum Sorceror, Cyber Dragon, Coral Dragon, Darklord Nasten, Archlord Kristiya, Mist Wurm.
He seemed like a boy with no discernible weaknesses but he was a cheater. In school, he cheated from his classmates using cellphones to look up their answers and whispering them to him. He could also feel bad about things when his mind is stuck on the relationship he was with his parents.
Aspa's only realization from this was it would be beach day at his giant boarding school if he stayed.
They made it finally to the effigy's sight. What was an effigy that kept Zarc in a special prison it was a mannequin made of prism blocks that was identical to Mukazu himself?
" I thought effigy's were suppose to look like prizes." Aspa said to Mukazu.
" Inside." A voice so creepy it made Aspa shiver down his spine echoed. " Inside here the effigy became a puppet of who guards it. Do me a favor boy and sacrifice yourself."
" You are officially on my wanted list. I invoke Crossover Accleration."
Aspa was left down below as Mukazu went away to duel.

Tatsu was a teenager so naturally he would be treated like one. The whole experience of being treated that way was a mix of sucky and embarrassing. The ring master, Yori, and Ian were around him looking like they took no joy in how they were probing his mind to find out if he cheated.
" You realize all this is doing is wasting your time. I don't cheat and I got those cards from a vendor. You should be proud of me for having it otherwise your " Spellcaster Tag Team" would've had an embarrassing loss."
" I wouldn't be insulted to see you two lose because Duel Monsters is a game about getting to enjoy yourself and having fun. Everyone knows no one puts System Down and Imperial Iron Wall together in their deck. What excuse do you have for cheating in front of a whole circus, and don't lie to me saying you didn't cheat."
Tatsu had nothing. The cards he had in his deck would be taken from him and he would be proud they were at least so he could say the cards he was accused of cheating with weren't going to be used anymore.
Tatsu had no idea he was going to be needing them soon.

Mukazu controlled a four thousand attack point dragon. It was a dragon with a white body, emerald twinkling eyes, a horn on its forehead, large six puffy wings with one strong enough to crush a mountain, and a strong bond with Mukazu.
" Ascension Sky Dragon, attack him directly."
Mukazu's opponent couldn't flee the terror of ghostly white stars falling towards him like meteors.
His opponent wasn't safeguarded from the attack and fell as his life points hit zero.
" Sector Security always prevails against bad people!" Mukazu shouted. " We had one good duel against him Ascension Sky Dragon. I think it's time I follow Sector Security protocol while you rest in my extra deck."
Mukazu followed protocol calling a helicopter that could treat injuries of the defeated followed by people who could arrest him when he recovered.
Mukazu grabbed his opponent by the collar to yell, but his opponent talked first.
" Your primitive dimensions will descend to a world decimated by Zarc where dragons will take care of us."
" Your deluded and a clear schizophrenic. You used Xyz monsters during our duel—cards that have black frames and have ranks over levels. Who sent you?"
Mukazu had to listen to his maniacal laughter before he got a real answer.
" The Supreme Xyz Dragon."

Tom and Orlando were in the waiting room ready for their first duel in the Heart City Tag Duel Tournament Orlando was looking at a new card of his: Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon.
" Thank you buddy for taking me back to the standard dimension to get this card," said Orlando.
" As I always tell you the key to making a good deck is consideration. I spend most of my time in the day looking for original combos and playing at night like a vampire."
The first part made sense while Tom's other sentence was just chalked up because Tom likes to talk. Orlando just likes Pendulum Monsters and he had a Fusion Monster he could only Fusion Summon with Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon and another Pendulum Monster.
The door soon opened and their referee walked in to tell them their round was up.
" Here we go ready to win as a team," Tom said to Orlando.
XXX
Orlando and Tom were against a man with a purple pompadour and a young slim woman with middle length purple hair. Orlando wanted to try swooning that girl and he would do so after the duel.
" Let's give a round of applause for our first round contestants Karl Lamarr and Liv Lorrelson from Tag Team Moonlight against the ones who wowed everyone with Pendulum Summoning Orlando and his friend with a true game face Tom."
Half of the crowd was cheering for Team Moonlight while the other half were cheering for Tom and Orlando.
" Ready…get set…" The referee raised his flag in the air to announce the game. " Duel."
The four duelists drew five cards from the top of their decks going to let the entertainment begin.
" I'll start first." Orlando called. " I set the Pendulum Scale 2 with Abyss Actor Sassy Rookie and Scale 2 Abyss Actor Wild Hope."
Tom smirked as two Pendulum monsters with the same scale rose in towers of blue beacons pulling them to the sky with their numbers scribbling under them in gold letters.
' I had to use Wild Hope when you dueled Tatsu—I activated my duel disk and used that exact same scale but for you—and now its time to summon your ace monster.'
