Hi guys! Wazzup? How about that Presidential Election, huh?
...
I'm terrible.
But all that matters is that I'm doing something new staring with next chapter! I'm gonna do story story-boarding! Because literally all my stories have been off the top of my head, and this will help me sort everything out! Why am I telling you this? Enjoy the chapter!
PS: I'm wearing a Yuzu/Yugo shirt because... you know.
As the crack of day leaked through the window, Yuma's eyes shook from the bright light peering through the window. "Morning already..?" the teen muttered, as his body shifted out of the bed. As Yuma looked around, he noticed a light on his D-Pad. As he turned on the screen, he read: "One unread Notification."
As he clicked the message, he saw Astral's face. Immediately, the file played, the alien saying, "Greetings, duelists! As the second day of the Conference has begun, I have decided to make the duels a little more exciting!" Astral pulled out a stack of cards. "In this Deck, I have many Field Spells. Every person will receive one Field Spell as soon as this video is finished playing. And with this, let the second day of the Astral Dueling Conference... COMMENCE!"
As soon as the video stopped playing, a card came out of the card slot of Yuma's D-Pad. He took the card, putting it in his deck box.
"Even if I change the location... nothing can erase what happened yesterday." Yuma thought, his Action Field Spel slipping out of his fingers.
"Yuma!" a familiar voice called out. The red-eyed boy looked up, to see Kaito, Shark, and Kotori standing in the doorway. "Come on, my training's done! Today we actually can duel people!"
"Yeah come on, Yuma! Weren't you complaining about not having anybody to duel just yesterday?" Shark snarked. Yuma then hopped up from his bed, saying, "Of course! I've been up for hours, trying to perfect my deck!" Yuma then grabbed his cards from the nightstand. "Let's go!"
"Hold it, Yuma!" Kaito told the teen, putting his hand on his shoulder. "Are you sure you're ready? After yesterday, you-"
Yuma took the blond's hand off his shoulder. "I'm fine, really! That Reiji guy only beat me because I was tired, is all! After all, I did do a 3-on-3 duel before him, didn't I? Anyways, we're burning daylight!" Yuma pointed at the direction of the exit, and dashed off.
Kaito and Shark looked at each other with worry, as if they were saying, "He's definitely not okay."
"ALRIGHT!" Yugo cheered, punching his fist in anticipation. "Now, we can finally make up those losses from yesterday! Today, failure is not an option!"
"And plus, with the integration of Action Fields, that can definitely give us an advantage over out opponents." Yuya added.
"You mean, YOU have advantage over your opponents. Some of us aren't exactly experienced in Action Duels, you know." Yuri said, with a slightly snide tone. "Anybody who might be in that tournament just may be more skilled taking the low ground and staying perfectly still." the cabbage explained further, as he took a swig of his tea.
"Who cares?! I'll just circle around them with my Duel Runner if I have to!" Yugo boasted, pointing his thumb at himself.
At that point, Yuto came out of the bathroom, his hair down from being sopping wet, wiping his face with a hand towel. He looked at his brothers, with them looking intently. This continued for quite a while until Yuto said, "It doesn't matter if we win or lose today. All that matters is that we do our best."
The 3 Dragon Boys smiled at his statement, before Yuri shouted, "HURRY UP AND GET DRESSED, WE WANT TO DUEL!"
"You think that my hair stands up like this naturally? I need to take LOADS and LOADS of time and patience to get it just"
"HURRY UP! HURRY UP! HURRY UP!" the younger brothers chanted, much to Yuto's chagrin.
"CHANTING WON'T MAKE ME GO ANY FASTER, IDIOTS!"
*beep**beep*
Kotori picked up her D-Pad, checking her notifications. As she checked, she noticed something.
"Hey guys, look at this!" the 3 boys ran over, surrounding the green-haired girl, and read what was on the screen.
You (4) duelists have been challenged by (Yuya Sakaki), (Yugo Sakaki), (Yuri Sakaki), and (Yuto Sakaki) at the time of (12:30 PM). Do you accept?
Yes / No
Kotori clicked the 'Yes' option, and the location flashed on the screen.
The 4 duelists arrived at the location. They were surprised to see 3 boys with the exact same face, the only difference being their clothing, hair, and eye color.
The goggle-headed tomato turned toward the 4, and waved with excitement. "Hey! You guys actually made it!"
Yuma then came to a realization, seeing the same-faced boys. "It's them!" The pink-blue haired duelist said, remembering them as the 'colorful quartet' from yesterday. "Hello! I was wondering when you all would make it! My name is Yuya Sakaki, and here's my brothers, Yuto and Yuri."
"So, why did you challenge us to a duel?" Kaito asked. "By looking at all of your stats, you all appear to be adequate duelists."
"Well, we- well, not me in particular, by brothers, Yuri, Yugo, and Yuto," Yuya began, motioning to his brothers. "Are in desperate need of medals, since they're down to one each."
"Wait.. there's supposed to be four of you, but I only count 3. Where's #4?" Shark asked, before the sound of a Duel Runner engine rang out. Just then, a white Duel Runner jumped out of the trees, shouting, "YAHOO! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! The Legendary Duelist, Yugo Sakaki has arrived to defeat the legendary Yuma-"
SPLAT!
The rider smacked against a tree, his Runner somehow landing on both its wheels, completely intact. "Ouch..." the rider said, cluching his face. His helmet falling off, exposing his yellow-blue hair.
"Yugo! Are you okay?" Yuya asked his older brother, kneeling down to tend to his reddened face.
Yuri just simply poked at Yugo's Duel Runner, in amazement at how it was still intact.
"I told you not to do that extremely over complicated entrance..." Yuto muttered, facepalming.
"Okay, now that we're all here, we can begin the duels!" Yuya pulled a box out of his jacket, putting 4 colored cards (Red/Green, Yellow/Blue, Black/Purple, and Pink/Purple) inside. "These cards will decide who's dueling who." The 4 reached inside of the box, one at a time, and each got their own separate colors.
Yuma got Black/Purple.
Kaito got Red/Green.
Shark got Pink/Purple.
And lastly, Kotori got Yellow/Blue.
"Right! Now that the duels been decided, Me and my brothers will draw cards, and these cards will determine the order of the duels." Yuya explained, putting cards numbered 1-4 into the same drawing box. The 4 put their hands inside of the box, each of them pulling out a different number.
"Dammit! Why did I get first?" Yugo griped, before looking at his brothers' cards. "WHAT THE HELL, YUYA! How'd you get last and not me?!" the banana yelled. He then sighed, and stepped on his Duel Runner again. "So who's my opponent?"
"That would be me." Kotori said, stepping up.
"Hmph. It's actually a good thing you got me as an opponent. Yuya wouldn't take you too seriously, Yuri's gets a bit too into it when dueling, and, well," Yugo whispered the next part to the green-haired girl. "Between you and me, Yuto can't really talk to girls."
"Go get 'em, Kotori!" Yuma cheered, smiling wide.
Kotori tossed her D-Pad and D-Gazer into the air. "Duel Disk, set!" Her D-Pad clicked on her wrist, the card zones extending. "Duel Gazer, set!" The D-Gazer extended, landing on her left eye.
"Let's do this!" Yugo put his Duel Disk on his Runner, and it activated. "Duel Mode Engaged. Auto Pilot, Standing By." the System stated.
"AR Vision, Link Establshed." the Augmented Reality system said, before Yugo thrust his hand into the air, saying, "Action Field, on! Hell River, activate!" The field completely warped into a wild west-type setting, complete with a tumbleweed.
"DUEL!"
Yugo LP: 4000
Hand: 5
VS
Kotori LP: 4000
Hand: 5
"I'm going first!" Kotori looked at her hand, before picking out a card. "By banishing one "The Agent" monster from my hand, I can Special Summon my ace monster, Master Hyperion!" The green haired girl slapped the card on the disk, the fire-fairy appering behind her.
Master Hyperion
ATK: 2700
LEVEL: 8
"With that, my turn's over!" Kotori declared.
Yugo revved up his Duel Runner, zipping past Kotori. "Now you're about to see what I'm made of!" The banana drew his card. "First, since I control no monsters, I can Special Summon from my hand, Speedroid Terrortop!" A number of spinning tops, the lead one having blades on its side, appeared from a portal, being surrounded by yellow energy.
Speedroid Terrortop
ATK: 1200
LEVEL: 3
Yugo zipped past Kotori, nearly running her down in the process. "Hey, watch where you're going with that thing! You could hurt someone, y'know!"
"And due to Terrortop's effect, I can add one add one 'Speedroid' monster from my deck to my hand!" A card jutted out from Yugo's deck, and the Synchro duelist smirked. "Perfect." "Now, I can summon one of my favorite Tuner monsters!"
"Wait, Tuner?" Kotori realized.
"Come forth, Speedroid Tri-Eyed Dice!" Yugo ordered, the monster being a blue pyramid with an ancient Egyptian eye, and surrounded by 3 small orbs.
Speedroid Tri-Eyed Dice
ATK: 300
LEVEL: 3
"Wait a minute, he uses Tuner monsters?" Kaito wondered. "But the profile said..."
"And now, I tune-!"
"Hold on for a minute!" Kotori interrupted, all the while Yugo pointed his finger to the sky.
"I thought that you used Fusions, not Synchros!"
"WHAT?!" shouted the banana. "Who the hell told you that noise?!"
"That's what it said in your profile, at least..." Kotori whimpered.
Yugo had a MAJOR tic mark on his forehead, and bellowed, "Get this straight: I use Synchros, NEVER Fusions!" The Synchro Duelist revved his Runner, and started riding up a building.
"I told him about that damn showboating..." Yuto muttered, shaking his head.
"Now watch as I tune my Level 3 Tri-Eyed Dice with my Level 3 Terrortop!" Tri-Eyed Dice turned into 3 stars, and those stars turned into 3 green rings, which surrounded Razorang, 'scanning' the monster, which also turned into 3 stars.
"This is the power of..." Yuma breathed.
"Cursed blade in the form of a cross, use your power to rend all of our enemies!" A huge burst of light went through the 3 rings. "Synchro Summon!" The monster took the form of a giant blue sword. "Come forth! Level 6! Hi-Speedroid Kendama!"
Hi-Speedroid Kendama
ATK: 2200
LEVEL: 6
Yugo's Runner landed on the ground with a THUD, and pointed at Kotori with a fierce fire in his eyes. "See that? That's the power of Synchros! My turn's done!"
Kotori sweatdropped, before drawing her card. "I summon The Agent of Miracles - Jupiter!" The monster flew out of a portal, being a tan skinned man of Egyptian decent.
The Agent of Miracles - Jupiter
ATK: 1800
LEVEL: 4
"Now, Master Hyperion! Attack Hi-Speedroid Kendama!" The large monster charged at the sword, storing a large amount of fire in his hand, and then unleashed it on Yugo's monster.
"Action Spell, activate! Miracle!" The attack bounced off of Yugo via force field. "This card protects my monster, and all battle damage is cut in half!"
Yugo LP: 3750
Hand: 4
"But when did he even get the time to pick up that card?" Yuya wondered.
Yuri pondered for a bit, before saying, "During his 'Showboating'." Referring to the time he wheeled up the building.
"My turn! Draw!" Yugo drew his card. "Because I control a WIND monster, I can Special Summon Speedroid Taketomborg!" A lanky-armed cyborg came out of the portal.
Speedroid Taketomborg
ATK: 600
LEVEL: 3
"Now, I'll summon my next Tuner: Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice!" The dice with an Egyptian-designed Eye on its main face appeared from a portal.
Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice
ATK: 100
LEVEL: 1
"And due to its effect, I can change the Level of one 'Speedroid' from 1 to 6! I change my Taketomborg to Level 6!"
Speedroid Taketomborg
LEVEL: 6
"Is he going to do it again?" Yuma wondered, his interest unusually high.
"Go for it, Yugo." Yuya smiled.
"The fun has only just begun!" Yugo cheered, thrusting his arm into the air, and revving up his Duel Runner. "I tune my Level 1 Red-Eyed Dice with my Level 6 Taketomborg!" Red-Eyed Dice turned into a single star, before turning into a lone green ring, and surrounded Taketomborg, scanning him. "Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings, and strike down our enemies at speed of light!" A large amount of light went through the rings. "Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 7! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" The white-scaled dragon flew next to his master, roaring as he did.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 2500
LEVEL: 7
"Now it's time for the battle for begin! Kendama, attack Jupiter!" the sword charged at the fairy, piercing it.
Kotori LP: 3600
Hand: 4
"And now, my turn's finished!" Yugo stated, pumping his fist.
"My turn!" Kotori drew her card. "Tch. Not a single magic card... In that case..." The green haired girl thrust her hand to the air. "I activate Master Hyperion's effect! By banishing 1 fairy from my graveyard, I can destroy one of your monsters!" The large fire-fairy lunged toward Yugo's dragon.
"Kotori, wait!" Kaito shouted.
"I activate Clear Wing's effect! Once per turn, when a Level 5 or Higher monster activates it's effect, I can destroy it! Dichroic Mirror!" Clear Wing escaped Hyperion's grasp, with it's wings glowing, destroying Kotori's monster.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 2500 → 5300
"Tch... I'm done." Kotori mumbled.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 5300 → 2500
Yugo silently drew his card, and then said, "Hi-Speedroid Kendama's effect activates!" Clear Wing's wings then began to glow. "Then, Clear Wing's effect activates! Dichroic Mirror!"
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 2500 → 4700
"Was... this his plan the whole time?" Kaito whispered to himself.
"Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" Clear Wing flew up high into the air, as Yugo revved up his engine. "DIRECT ATTACK! Helldive Whirlwind... SLASHER!" Clear Wing spun around a few times, and flew directly at the girl. Kotori was knocked back by the force of the blow, landing on the ground hard.
Yugo LP: 3750
Kotori LP: 0 - LOSER
"Wow... just how much are Synchros capable of?" Yuma said, in amazement as the Action Field dissipated.
Kotori's 3 other teammates rushed to her aid, helping her up. "You just had a bad hand, that's all. Next time, you'll definitely get 'em." Kaito told her, encouraging the girl. Kotori handed her 3 medals to Yugo, and both of them stepped back, before the next challengers went up to each other.
"I've been waiting for this. I wanna see if you're as good as people say you are!" Yuto said, readying his Duel Disk.
Yuma nodded his head in agreement. "No matter what happened yesterday, I CANNOT let what Reiji said about my fathers words get to me. I have to win this!"
"DUEL!"
Don't hold me to this, but I will TRY to squeeze out a chapter or two before Thanksgiving. KEY WORD: TRY.
Review, Please!
