Chapter Nine: Chrono Beatdown

Yuji and Daisuke start their fated duel against each other. Rie senses that there is something off with Daisuke, Haruka just wants Yuji to clobber Daisuke, Akane and Shinon are worried about Yuji. After ten minutes of silence the duel finally starts, Yuji decides to go first.

-Duel Start-

Life Points:

Yuji: 4000

Daisuke: 4000

-Turn 1-

"I'll take the first turn" Yuji looks at his hand and sees he's got White Wing Magician, Black Fang Magician, Pendulum Fusion, Odd-Eyes Banner Dragon, and Dichromatic Eyes in his hand. "First, I'll play Dichromatic Eyes from my hand, This lets me place a monster from my hand to my Extra Deck face-up, then I get to draw two cards!" Yuji explains the card effect to Daisuke, as Daisuke is silent for once slowly observing Yuji's every move.

"Hmm that card, Yuji used that card against me in our practice duel, a few weeks ago" Haruka says to anyone that would listen, as she references her duel against Yuji at Spring Star "If I wasn't skilled with Synchro Summoning, I would have lost *Laughs* what the hell am I saying, I would have still won" Haruka starts to laugh, just as Yuji starts to send a monster from his hand to his Extra Deck.

"I send 'Odd-Eyes Banner Dragon' to my Extra Deck, then I draw two cards" Yuji draws two cards from his deck, which are Harmonizing Magician, and Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon. "But I can't Special Summon or activate the effects of the monster I sent to my Extra Deck until the end of my turn."

"Yuji. Just get to your Pendulum Summoning routine already!" Daisuke yells at Yuji while gesturing with his hands in a circular manner as if to tell Yuji to hurry up. "Regardless, this duel will end in on my turn" Daisuke boldly states, as Yuji visibly gets frustrated.

"Yuji-kun, stay calm" Akane is murmuring to herself "He's only trying to provoke you into losing focus" She adds on as she slowly starts to get a worried look on her face after hearing Daisuke's declaration.

"Well if you want to rush, then I'm game then!" Yuji retorts at Daisuke as he picks out his two Pendulum Scales. "I will place my Scale 1 White Wing Magician and my Scale 8 Black Fang Magician in my Pendulum Scales. With this, I can Summon monsters with Levels (2) through (7)!" Yuji says while he places his monsters on his pendulum scales, as he prepares his traditional chant passed down through generations.

'By using the Pendulum Scales bestowed upon me
by the ancient power to help me proclaim victory,
I Pendulum summon!' Yuji Chants into his duel disk as a grey light starts to light up Yuji's duel disk and his pendulum scales.

Seemingly at will, a grey light appears over Yuji's field, his duel disk starts to glow with the letters 'Pendulum' in-between Yuji's White Wing Magician and Black Fang Magician.

"First up to my field, is a magician who has the best kind of harmony in the Duel Monsters world!"

"I Pendulum Summon! Level 4 Tuner, Harmonizing Magician! (Level: 4/ Tuner/ ATK: 0/ DEF: 0)" Yuji says as a female magician who controls harmony suddenly appears out of thin air.

"Second up to the field is a phantasmic dragon, who is the alternate version of a dragon in the future, This dragon is the light within the darkness!. I Pendulum Summon! Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon! (Level: 7 / ATK: 2500 / DEF: 2000)" Yuji continues to say as his ace dragon suddenly appears from the phantoms.

"Harmonizing Magician's effect allows me to Special Summon a 'Magician' Pendulum Monster from my deck in Defence Position, but its effects are negated." Yuji explains while he searches for a 'Magician', then he finds one. "I Special Summon Purple Poison Magician! (Level: 4 / ATK: 1200 / DEF: 2100)"

"Now I overlay my Level 4 Harmonizing Magician and Purple Poison Magician, by opening the Overlay Network!"
Yuji says this while a small portal appears underneath his two Magicians, and they turn into energy and went into the Overlay Network.
"I Xyz Summon, Startime Magician! (Rank 4: ATK: 2400 / DEF: 1200)" Yuji announces as a magician with a staff with the hands of a clock on one side and stars on the other side, which controls both Time and Space appears from the portal.

"Next I activate, Pendulum Fusion!" Yuji announces as he holds the card out in his hand, everyone around Yuji is surprised that he is about to Fusion Summon, especially Shinon, who kinda sorta learned from her while losing his duels against her. "This card lets me Fusion Summon using my Pendulum Scales as Fusion Materials"

Magician with White Wings
become the bright light and
Merge with the Magician with Black Fangs!
I Fusion Summon! Come forth Alchemist Magician! (Level: 7 / Scale: 2 / ATK: 2500 / DEF: 2100)" Yuji chants as both White Wing and Black Fang merge together and create a female magician with blue hair with an alchemy book in her hands.

"Wow!, he actually did it." Akane, Shinon, and Kamio all say in unison as the look at Yuji's field, which has 'Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon', 'Startime Magician', and 'Alchemist Magician' on his field. "Damnit, Yuji! you are always trying to one-up me ever since I defeated you" Haruka says in an irritated manner. "But even with my pride, I guess I'm impressed,"

"I activate the effects of Startime and Alchemist Magician!" Yuji explains to Daisuke, as Daisuke is searching for a card to use to respond. "By detaching 1 overlay unit, I can add 1 DARK Spellcaster from my deck to my hand, I add Lunar Magician to my hand. Then, I can activate Alchemist Magicians effect, I can add any Spell Card from my deck to my hand, I add Class Change to my hand!" Yuji finally explains the effects of his magicians. "Finally, I end my turn."

"Before you end your turn Yuji, I activate a Trap Card from my hand" Daisuke suddenly announces to Yuji, as he holds out the card in his hand. "I activate Evenly Matched! Since I don't have any cards on my field, By paying half my life points (Daisuke: 4000 - 2000) I can activate this from my hand, plus I can banish all of your cards on your field." Daisuke reveals to Yuji as there's a sudden silence around the playing field.

"E-Evenly Matched?" Haruka says while in complete shock after seeing the card. "This card is the #1 card top pro duelists use, more specifically to end duels quickly" Haruka continues on as she remembers while she watched a tournament while deciding which school she wanted to go to when she was thirteen.

-Turn 2-

"All of that work, for NOTHING!" Daisuke suddenly changes his tone to mock Yuji's skill and duel style "Your style of dueling is killing the game, that I tried to improve. This will never work in the real dueling circuit!" Daisuke scolds Yuji.

"I'll Draw" after drawing, Daisuke has Chronogear Sorcerer Urunin, Chronogear Gunner Dracokid, Chronogear Nixie Numeral Dragon, Chronogear Armor Jet Dragon, Chrono Shift, and Chronogear Sorcerer Ishin in his hand.

"Yuji, You're not the only one who can Pendulum Summon!" Daisuke suddenly places Chronogear Sorcerer Urunin and Chronogear Gunner Dracokid in his Pendulum Scales.

"Wait a minute, I thought, only ones pure of heart can Pendulum Summon?" Yuji asks Daisuke whether or not to confirm something. "Yuji, pure of heart can mean either, Pure light in his heart or pure unadulterated darkness. You know how a pendulum goes, It sways back and forth, from the Light into the Darkness." Zarc explains to Yuji, while Yuji is surprised by this revelation.

"Now that's out of the way, "I will place my Scale 2 Chronogear Gunner Dracokid and my Scale 9 Chronogear Sorcerer Urunin in my Pendulum Scales. With this, I can Summon monsters with Levels (3) through (8)!" Daisuke says this while he places his monsters on his pendulum scales, as he prepares his version of the traditional chant passed down through generations.

'By using this Ancient Power given to me
help me proclaim victory!
I Pendulum summon!' Daisuke Chants into his duel disk as a black light starts to light up his duel disk and his pendulum scales.

Seemingly at will, a black light appears over Daisuke's field, his duel disk starts to glow with the letters 'Pendulum' in-between his Chronogear Gunner Dracokid and Chronogear Sorcerer Urunin.

"I Special Summon, my two ace monsters, Chronogear Nixie Numeral Dragon (Level: 8 / Scale: 9 / ATK: 2600 / DEF: 2200), Chronogear Armor Jet Dragon! (Level: 8 / Scale: 5 / ATK: 2500 / DEF: 2000)" Daisuke announces as two dragons with clock gears all over their body appear beside Daisuke, Yuji suddenly recognizes Armor Jet Dragon from his nightmare, he is as helpless now as he was in his nightmare.

"This disappointment of a duel is OVER!" Daisuke starts to command his dragons to attack Yuji "Nixie Numeral Dragon and Armor Jet Dragon attack this sorry excuse of a duelist, and get him out of my sight!" Suddenly Daisuke's two dragons attack Yuji, Yuji after dealing with much trauma over witnessing the same dragon that hurt his friends in his nightmare, takes two blasts to his face, and he passes out. (Yuji: 4000- 0)

-Duel Over-

"When you get stronger Yuji, try all you can, even at your best you cannot stop me from achieving what I desire the most: THE DESTRUCTION OF THIS WORTHLESS PLANET!" Daisuke says to a passed out Yuji, while literally kicking Yuji while he's passed out. "Maybe, I should end this right now" Daisuke suddenly readies his duel disk to card Yuji, but he is interrupted by Yuji's friends, and Ray and Zarc. "If you're going to pick on someone while he's down, why duel all of us then you sick bastard?" Haruka says to Daisuke while her, Akane, Rie, Shinon, Kamio, Zarc, and Ray power on their duel disks. "*Laughs* Oh, I'm so scared" Daisuke feigns an emotion, trying to get under the skin of Yuji's friends "Scared of a bunch of worthless duelists! You know what Yuji Ishino, I'll give you a pass for this one if we duel again and you lose, *Snaps* just like that your home will be destroyed, get me out of here Yui!" Daisuke tells Yui while in her helicopter and sends him away.


Gee Yuji definitely got destroyed by Daisuke, didn't he? Don't worry Yuji will be alright, but in the end, this serves as a lesson to Yuji and his friends, that this isn't about fun and games anymore. In the next chapter: Yuji recovers from his beatdown, and what will he do next after losing to Daisuke? What is Daisuke's next move, after defeating Yuji? Find out next time on Yu-Gi-Oh!
