"Yuya!" Yuzu called fearfully seeing that.

'This is bad, it'll take a miracle for him to turn things around at this point.' Yuing thought while Yuya slowly got back up. "We just need to trust he can figure out a way to turn things around Yuzu, you're the one who told me he still has another turn."

Yuzu turned to Yuina in surprise before smiling. "Yeah, you have a point. I know he'll figure out a way to take down Sawatari."

"Exactly, this is a duel so as long as Yuya has a life point to spare he's not beaten yet." Yuina smiled.

"You're right, it might look bad now but that doesn't mean it's over. Yuya won't let us down." Yuzu mentioned.

The two girls nodded before turning back to the duel.

"You may have survived this turn Yuya, but we both know exactly how our duel will end." Sawatari smirked ending his turn.

Yuya 600 Sawatari 4000: Yuya weakly got up to his feet and drew his card only to smile. "Actually Sawatari, I'm not sure we do know that, and to prove it I'll play the monster you so generously gave to me. I summon Block Spider in attack mode."

"You're seriously going to fight my three Dart Strikers with that weakling?" Sawatari questioned. "Well if you want to lose I suppose that's one way too…"

"I don't play on losing Sawatari, I play Mimiclay, and thanks to this spell I not only switch Block Spider into defense mode but Mimiclay becomes an exact duplicate of Block Spider and thanks to both of their abilities you're not allowed to attack any of my monsters." Yuya interjected causing Sawatari's eyes to widen in shock. "Then I'll play two cards facedown to end my move."

Sawatari glared at Yuya as he drew his card only to pause. "This… well it seems that lady luck is smiling upon me again Yuya I activate the spell card Cricket Close. This spell lets me negate the effects of two spell cards on my field to negate any card on yours."

"I think you need to check your eyes Sawatari, you don't have any spell cards in play." Yuya pointed out.

"Oh Yuya, so naïve." Sawatari smirked. "When they're in the Pendulum Zones Stargazer Magician and Timgazer Magician count as spells so I can negate their effects and your Mimiclay."

Yuya's eyes widened in shock seeing that as Mimicaly went to the graveyard. "I'm not beaten yet; I have the trap card Draw Muscle. Since I only have one monster on the field I draw a card and if I draw a monster Block Spider gains its defense points and can't be destroyed in battle."

'Draw whatever you want Yuya, it won't change anything.' Sawatari thought with a smirk.

Yuya drew his card slowly before grinning. "I drew Performapal Kaleidoscorp with 2100 defense points, which means Block Spider's defense points increase to 2400."

"2400, that means Block Spider's defense points are equal to Ultimate Dart Striker's attack points." Yuina noted with a smile. "That means Sawatari can't even try to attack Yuya."

"Yeah, and even if he increases their attack points with an Action Card Draw Muscle also protects Block Spider from being destroyed by Sawatari's attacks." Yuzu agreed.

Yuina frowned. "There isn't an Action Card that can help him deal damage is there?"

"Well yeah, there probably is." Yuzu admitted. "Still, if Sawatari tries to use an Action Card Yuya can too."

"Yeah, I guess but I still don't like this. Something's going on down there." Yuina mentioned. "How does Sawatari know more about Pendulum Summoning than Yuya?"

Yuzu looked down hearing that. "You're right, it doesn't make sense that he would know how to Pendulum Summon and that they count as spells."

"Exactly, someone is helping him. The only question is who, and why?" Yuina questioned.

"I don't know." Yuzu answered as they turned back to the duel.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"You think you're so clever don't you Yuya?" Sawatari inquired. "Boosting your monster's defense points and protecting it from destruction in battle. If you were dueling another opponent that might buy you some time but I'm not just any opponent."

"What's that supposed to mean Sawatari?" Yuya questioned. "Your Ultimate Dart Striker only has 2400 attack points so you can't get past Block Spider."

"Poor naïve Yuya, perhaps a demonstration will prove to you what I mean." Sawatari smirked. "You see, by sacrificing Power Dart Striker my Ultimate Dart Striker gains 600 attack points this turn. Then by sacrificing Rocket Dart Striker I grant Ultimate Dart Striker the ability to deal damage even when your monster is in defense mode."

"Wait, 600 more attack points and it can deal damage when my monster's in defense mode?" Yuya asked in shock.

"Exactly Yuya, so now this duel comes to its predictable conclusion." Sawatari stated. "Ultimate Dart Striker attack his Block Spider."

Sawatari's monster fired its darts at Block Spider creating an explosion that shook the tower Yuzu and Yuina were on as they lost their balance just before the smoke cleared revealing Yuya was still standing with 300 life points left.

"Nice try Sawatari, but you'll have to do a little better to beat me." Yuya mentioned.

"What? How did you manage to survive my attack?" Sawatari questioned.

"It's thanks to my trap card Empty Fishing, not only does it cut the damage in half but two cards that had their effects negated get added to my hand." Yuya explained causing Sawatari's eyes to widen in horror.

"Wait, but that would mean…" Sawatari started before glancing up at Timegazer Magician and Stargazer Magician.

"Exactly." Yuya nodded only for Yuzu to suddenly scream as she and Yuina started to fall. "Yuzu, Yuina!"

(Yuya managed to reclaim his Pendulum Cards from Sawatari but he's still extremely low on life points, but Yuzu and Yuina have fallen from the tower and are in serious danger. Next chapter the duel will end and Sora will officially introduce himself. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
