DarkLord98: It's to bring down the soldiers of Academia through real teamwork if they can't beat them one on one. The longer they work together as a team the better the result and chances of their survival against those from the Fusion Dimension, along with being among the Lancers. Not to mention if they some don't make it then they have to get all and work together as one since it is a vital part of working as a team.
Fieryfoxpaws & Debbido: I'm glad you liked it and reviewed my chapter.

Chapter 14
Showdown!
Ojama
VS
Yosenju
Part 1
"First to strike wins!" Sawatari said as he declared the first turn "I activate the Continuous Spell Card: Youkai Shrine of Trials!"
"Youkai Shrine of Trials?" Konami asked as he looked at the card
"Yep! Whenever a Yosenji monster is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, I can light up one Yousen Counter!" Sawatari explained before an altar with several candles appeared behind him
"Next, I Normal Summon Yosenji Kamaitachi!"
The elder samurai weasel sibling emerged from a red whirlwind
Yosenji Kamaitachi -LV4- (1600/500)
"As you should know, Konami. When this card is Normal Summoned, I can immediately effect its effect to Normal Summon another "Yosenji" monster from my hand except Kamaitachi!" Sawatari said to him "Come forth, Yosenju Kamamitachi!"
The middle sibling of the samurai weasels emerged from a blue whirlwind
Yosenju Kamamitachi -LV4- (1500/800)
"I've successfully summoned two Yosenju monsters; which means I get two Yousen Counters!" Sawatari said as two of his candles were lit
"What's this?" Konami asked boringly "If you only summoned them for the counters then I hope you'll have a good defense because when those monsters return to your hand then you're wide open for a direct attack from me. You should know that better than me."
"This is true but that's all the more reason why I had to summon them." Sawatari replied
"Hmn?"
"There's a certain card I added in this deck and it's all thanks to you, Konami."
"Excuse me?"
"I activate the Continuous Spell Card: Spirit of Rebirth!" Sawatari said as he revealed and played the card
"What the-?"
"That's right, Konami!" Sawatari said with cocky smile "After our first tag duel together, you told me about how Spirit of Rebirth can increase a player's Life Points by 500 points for each card that returns to my hand! Which means I will gain 1000 Life Points when they return to my hand!"
"Using my own advice against me, huh?"
"I end my turn! Return to me, my monsters!" Sawatari said as the two monsters disappeared into their respective whirlwind and back to his hand
Sawatari's Life points increased as Spirit of Rebirth let out a dazzling light and showered over him
Sawatari x3 - 9000 LP
Konami x5 -8000 LP
"Interesting maneuver." Konami replied "Is what I would say. You may have increased your Life Points however you'll be wide open to a direct hit if I don't summon a monster on my turn."
Sawatari smiled mischievously "If you really think that then why don't you try and attack me?"
"Is there a card in his hand that will prevent me from harming him?" Konami thought before drawing
"My turn!" Konami said as he drew his card and examined his hand
Turn 2 - Konami x6
"Let's see what kind of powerful cards, you'll show me this time." Sawatari thought to himself "Fusions? Synchros? Or even XYZs? I just hope it's not all three like with Akaba Reiji."
Konami examined his hand and wasn't entirely surprised at his options
"I'm not surprised at not having a monster that will inflict damage on him." Konami thought "I mean, there are some monsters in my hand but don't have any ATK points."
"I set a monster and a card face-down!" Konami said "I end my turn!"
"Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!" Sawatari said hurriedly "What happened to the Duelist who was able to pull off some impressive moves during his first turn in our Tag Duels?"
"He's still here." Konami replied "Are you going to draw your card or not?"
Sawatari looked at Konami confusedly before beginning
"My turn!" He said as he drew his card
Turn 3 - Sawatari x4
"I summon Yosenju Kamaitachi!"
The elder samurai weasel sibling emerged from a red whirlwind
Yosenju Kamaitachi -LV4- (1600/500)
"I activate Kamaitachi's effect!" Sawatari said to him "Come forth, Yosenju Kamamitachi!"
The middle sibling of the samurai weasels emerged from a blue whirlwind
Yosenju Kamamitachi -LV4- (1500/800)
"Since I summoned two "Yosenju" monsters this turn. Which means I have four Yousen Counters!"
Two more candles were lit on the altar
Sawatari then examined the field
"I don't know what you're up too, Konami!" Sawatari thought to himself "But I am not going to wait around to find out!"
"I activate Yosenju Kamaitachi's another effect!" Sawatari spoke "Once per turn, I can return 1 monster my opponent controls to their hand! So say good-!"
"Trap card activated! Breakthrough Skill!" Konami said to him "When this card is activated, I can negate the effect of 1 monster you control! And I choose Yosenju Kamaitachi!"
The monster had his power zapped from his body as he was covered in red electricity
"Tsk! As expected of you!" Sawatari commented "Fine, I'll attack your monster with Kamamitachi!"
The weasel samurai charged at the facedown monster and sliced it in half as the card revealed a chopped specter of Ojama Blue and then disappeared from the field
Sawatari's eyes were wide as he kept blinking and then rubbed them to make sure he wasn't hallucinating at the sight of the monster
"Wh-What the?! Am I seeing things?"
"I activate Ojama Blue's effect! When this card is destroyed in battle and send to the graveyard! I can choose two "Ojama" cards form my deck to my hand!" Konami explained as the two cards ejected themselves from his disk for him to grab "I choose Ojama Country and Ojamagic!"
"Ojama?" Sawatari asked as if he never heard of those cards before in his entire life "Whatever! Kamaitachi, attack Konami directly!"
The weasel showed a sinister smile like it was ready for payback as he charged at Konami and reduced his life points
"Gaah!" Konami grunted as his LP dropped
Sawatari x2 - 9000 LP
Konami x5 - 6400 LP
"Next, I'll activate my Youkai Shrine of Trails effect! I get rid of my 3 Yousen Counters to add 1 "Yosenju" monster from my deck to my hand!" Sawatari said as his three lit candles were gone and got his card
"I end my turn! Return to me, Kanamitachi!" Sawatari said as the disappeared into his whirlwind and returned to his hand
"And let's not forget the effect of my precious "Spring of Rebirth"!" Sawatari said fondly towards the card "My Life Points will increase by 500 points!"
The card let out a dazzling light as Sawatari's Life Points increased
Sawatari x4 - 9500 LP
Konami x5 - 6400 LP
"YAHOO!" Sawatari cheered with joy "Oh yes! Not only do I have 9500 Life Points but I also have you by the ropes even though it's my second turn! Ha ha ha ha!"
"Indeed..."
"I really am the chosen Duelist! The one who is destined to be the greatest Duelist in the universe! Neo New Sawatari!" He said to himself proudly as if he had godlike quality "This is a beginning of a new age where Neo New Sawatari shall become legend!"
Ojama Black, Green, and Yellow appeared beside Konami
"This kid is so annoying..." Ojama Black spoke
"That creep..." Ojama Green said irately "Who does this guy think he is?"
"I can't believe you would compare this nimrod to Manjoume-aniki, Konami-aniki!" Ojama Yellow said mildly annoyed "This clown is nothing like him!"
"I think you are letting this outcome go to your head..." Konami said as if this feat isn't something to feel proud about in comparison to how much Life Points he gained in his Duels back at Heartland
"Maybe..." He replied with a shrug "I'm a far better entertainer than that Sakaki Yuya, anyway!"
"I don't know about that..."
"With that being said, you can begin your turn, Konami!"
"With pleasure! My turn!"
Turn 4 - Konami x6
"Let's see what you got!" Sawatari thought as he was trying to get himself pump
"I summon Ojama Yellow in Attack mode!"
The small yellow speedo wearing creature appeared onto the field as he shook his body and giggled
Ojama Yellow -LV4- (0/1000)
Sawatari looked at Konami and the monster in disbelief. That monster was hands-down the most hideous looking creature he has ever seen in the history of Duel Monsters. He couldn't believe that Konami made such a misplay along with that fact he's carrying around such trashy cards. The boy couldn't tell if Konami's head injury was starting to take over or he's not taking him and this Duel seriously.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Sawatari asked Konami as he pointed at Ojama Yellow "I can hardly imagine you making such a misplay especially carrying around trashy cards like this abomination."
Ojama Yellow got mad when Sawatari spoke to him like that
"Why you! I swear I'm gonna kill you!" Ojama Yellow snapped which shocked Sawatari
"D-Did that thing just talk?!"
"You gotta problem with that, ya jerk?!"
"Yeah, about that-" Konami said to him but was interrupted
"This must be due to the latest invention of your new Duel Disk!" Sawatari commented "The effect of Real Solid Vision is amazing!"
"Well, even back at Duel Academy, nobody else seemed to have noticed them or at least paid it any mind even when they were summoned onto the field." Konami thought to himself
"Either way, I don't know why you summoned that worthless card, Konami!" Sawatari spoke "I mean the only thing cards like this weakling is good for are being used as a coaster for my drink or a stool for my chair!"
Ojama Yellow got extra salty when Sawatari said that and was about to say something until Konami spoke
"I would never insult weak monsters if I were you, Sawatari." Konami replied "Because you see, even they have their own sense of pride and loathe any form of criticism towards them and their self-worth... belittling them is something even I wouldn't dare do..."
"Oh really?"
"Besides, if we're talking about worth then a lot of you people in Maiami City have lost yours a long time ago..." Konami said which surprised Sawatari
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"I mean, I thought people wanted leaders who are strong, smart, and simply the best at what they do but instead you've allowed it to come down between two people who have little to no faith in to run your country." Konami replied "By letting it come down to vote for either an egoistical bigot or a two-faced broad."
"My papa is not a bigot!"
"Well, I guess I can appreciate you for not denying him being egoistical." Konami replied "However, he wants to build a wall to keep a certain kind of immigrants entrance into the country and will cause other minorities to lose their citizenship and civil rights at the process if he wins the election."
Sawatari simply grunted as if his tongue was tied
"In the end, it just proves that you people really don't care about anything but your own foolish and selfish desires." Konami replied "You people act like they don't discriminate but when they see those nitwits, you change your tone and start talking some serious smack to them like what you currently felt meant nothing to you at all. I just hope the people outside of this city isn't as backwards as some of the residents here. You all like to make fun of others but when you're the one being laughed at then it's no fun anymore. You are all dumb sadists who won't admit to it like I would when confronted on the matter and will only make life a lot worse than better at the rate they are going. You are all too mixed up to know what it is you desire and are potentially worse than them for allowing those two to be in the position they are in."
"We care about our country!"
"If that was true then why did you let it come down between two people you don't have any faith or trust in?" Konami replied "I'm not defending those morons who are running for mayor, I'm just calling people out for who and what they are because clearly they are all full of crap. Your strong sense of judgment is what makes the world worth living in if anyone doesn't agree with me then it's just a testament to their own ignorance and should just keep their mouths shut. Cause they are the kind of boneheads who don't want to admit they are wrong, have misguided viewpoints on how life should be, and just disagree with it because they disagree with it. Continue showing people your strong sense of judgment by calling people for who and what they are and prove your worth by voting for Claire Hilton to show your ready to redeem yourselves! Think of it as a first step to help return the world to how it rightful should be and was always meant too! Stop talking out of your ass and start owning up to your own faults!"
Sawatari looked at Konami although he didn't show any evidence that it got through him or not
"Allow me to show you people who actually care about their country, Sawatari!" Konami said before playing it "I activate the Field Spell Card: Ojama Country!"
"Ojama what now?" Sawatari asked as the area turned into a field populated with Ojama-looking creatures who were watching them for the sidelines, with Konami, Ojama Yellow, and him standing in the clearing
"There's no place like home!" Ojama Yellow said happily
"Wh-What is this place?!" Sawatari asked as if he was creped out
"It's Ojama Country, the home of the Ojama monsters that belonged to an old friend of mine! When an "Ojama" monster is on the field, the original ATK and DEF of all monsters on the field are switched!" Konami explained
Ojama Yellow grunted as he flexed his muscles from his power increasing
"Look at these guns!" Ojama Yellow said grunting
Ojama Yellow -LV4- (1000/0)
"Was that meant to be tough or comically?" Sawatari asked "Having a weak monster with a measly 1000 ATK points isn't going to make a difference."
"Is that what you think?" Konami asked him
"Huh?"
Yosenju Kamaitachi -LV4- (500/1600)
"W-What the-?!"
"That's right! Now Kamaitachi is weaker than Ojama Yellow!"
"No way..."
"I activate Ojama Country's another effect by sending 1 "Ojama" card from my hand to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon an "Ojama" monster from my Graveyard!" Konami explained "I send Ojamagic to the grave to bring back my destroyed Ojama Blue!"
An Ojama citizen jumped from the sidelines and took the card from Konami's hand and sent into a small vortex as the blue Ojama returned to the field and let out a sigh of relief
Ojama Blue -LV4- (1000/0)
"Thank you Konami-aniki!" Ojama Blue thought to himself as Sawatari flinched
"So I wasn't seeing things!" Sawatari said with a look of disgust "The infestation continues..!"
"Now I'll activate the effect of Ojamagic!" Konami stated
"You're still not done?"
"When this card is sent from my hand to the Graveyard then I can add 1 Ojama Yellow, Green, and Black from my deck to my hand!" Konami said as he got the cards
"You mean to tell me you went through all that effect to deal me 1500 points of damage with cards such as this..?"
Konami smiled as he revealed Polymerization to him
"Fusion?!"
"That's right!" Konami replied "I fuse Ojama Green and Black! Brothers who are strong when untied! Merge into the heroic knight who will continue to fight for the glory of his country and people! Fusion Summon! Come forth, Ojama Knight!"
As Konami was chanting the brothers entered into a whirlpool of light as the Ojama Yellow-looking knight emerged from it and onto the field
Ojama Knight -LV5- (0/2500)
"Ha! It has zero ATK points!" Sawatari chuckled "To think I was worried! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Did you forgot the effect of Ojama Country?" Konami asked him
"Huh?"
The knight grunted as his power grew greatly
Ojama Knight -LV5- (2500/0)
"It has 2500 ATK points now?!"
"Not only that however when this card is on the field I can select 2 of my opponents Monster Card Zones." Konami said to him
"Okay..." Sawatari said clearly doesn't understand the point of what Konami is saying "What's your point?"
"It means you can't use the selected zones anymore as long as Ojama Knight is on the field."
"What?!"
"I choose the far right and left zone!" Konami said as the knight sealed the selected zones
"Damn it!"
"No matter how much chaos and disorder there is in the world! I will quell and reform into how it once was and rightful should be with my ideality!" Konami said before pointing at Sawatari "Ojama Blue, attack Yosenju Kamaitachi!"
The blue Ojama ran towards the weaken samurai as he jumped and comically punched him in the face before leaving the field
Sawatari x3 - 9000 LP
Konami x5 - 6400 LP
"Ojama Knight, attack him directly!"
The knight grunted and charged at Sawatari before jumping into the air
"I activate Yosenju Ooyamabiko's effect from my hand! When my opponent declares a direct attack: I can send 1 Yosenju monster from my hand to the Graveyard and Special Summon this card!" Sawatari explained as the creature appeared onto the field and towered over them
Yosenju Ooyamabiko -LV6- (?/?)
"And since I Special Summoned a monster this turn, I gain another Yousen Counter!" Sawatari replied as his candle was lit
"I take it this monster gains the ATK and DEF of the attacking monster, correct?" Konami asked
"You know it!"
"You made a mistake for putting him in ATK mode."
"Huh? Why?"
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card: Battle Fusion!"
"No, not that! Anything but that!" Sawatari said before coming to his senses "Wait a minute, I never heard that card before... what does it do?"
"When a Fusion Monster battles one of my opponents monsters, it gains ATK equal to the monster it's battling." Konami replied
"Oh? I see... What?! Then that means-"
Ojama Knight's ATK doubled at the challenge of fighting a worthy opponent
Ojama Knight -LV5- (5000/0)
"5000 ATK points?!"
"Strike him down, Ojama Knight!" Konami said to him
The knight cut the monster in half from top to bottom as it groaned and exploded. Sawatari was blown away from the shockwave and his LP points decreased greatly and fell on the ground
Sawatari x3 - 7500 LP
Konami x4 - 6400 LP
"I activate Yosenju Ooyamabiko's another effect! When this card is destroyed in battle and send to the Graveyard, I can add 1 "Yosenju" monster from my deck to my hand!" Sawatari explained as he got up and his card
"Go! Ojama Yellow!" Konami said as they charged at him and knock him back on his behind
Sawatari x4 - 6500 LP
Konami x4 - 6400 LP
"It wasn't Ooyamabiko?" Konami thought to himself "Oh well..."
"How do you like that, Sawatari?" Konami asked him
Sawatari said nothing as he seemed somewhat mad
"I don't understand! How can such pathetic cards have so much power?"
"I told you not to belittle weak monsters, kid." Konami said to him "Do you want another reason why you shouldn't have done it?"
"Why?"
"Because the clouds are gathering!" Konami said with Manjoume's spirit beside him "The thunder is about to break on you!"
TO BE CONTINUED...
Halloween Special
Duel Academy - Memory Fragment
Starring: Rei Saotome & Konami
Rated: T
Time Setting: After Tag Force 3
After her time at Duel Academy, Rei was finally about to leave all by herself. She had to admit it was pretty lonely without anyone with her, especially her friends back at her beloved school but she was sure she'd get use to it in time. Plus, it was Rei's first time having Halloween away from not just her friends but her family as well. She lived in a small corner house with a basement but no upstairs. A house her parents paid half for it.
It was eleven o'clock at night. She was sitting in the living room watching TV when she found herself getting up to answer a knock on the door
Knocking
Rei then stopped as if she should reconsider her actions before touching it
"Who could be at the door at 11 pm..." Rei thought to herself "There shouldn't be anymore trick-or-treaters out at this hour. Surely, it must be one of those ding-dong ditchers doing this for the holiday..."
Rei decided to shot a glance at the porch through her window. She wasn't surprised when she found nothing outside.
"Yup! Ding-dong ditchers!" She said as she walked back to her seat and resumed watching TV
As kept watching her show and thought nothing of the knocking. She felt at peace but unfortunately, another knock came from her front door
Knocking
"Get lost!" She yelled at them in a stern and annoyed tone
She was seriously not in the mood for a couple of losers
They ignored her demands but rather than knocking, they were pounding it now
POUND! POUND! POUND!
Rei was furious
She leaped up and swung the door open but nobody was there once again. She put on her shoes, went outside, and started looking for the people harassing her. However there was no one; not behind her bushes, not across the street, or behind her house. She was done both looking for them and answering her door. She didn't want to feed into their fun anymore, so Rei went back inside, double locked her door, and went into her bedroom, also locking that door just to feel safer.
Even over the TV she also had over in her room, Rei could still hear the knocking from her front door repeatedly
POUND! POUND! POUND!
She was so close from calling the police to get them away but would undoubtedly lead to her house getting egged or tp'ed. The pounding continued for an uncomfortably long time, more than half an hour. She thought they must've been filming something for the internet like Konami and Manjoume did during her time at Duel Academy and were desperate for a reaction but she wasn't going to give it to them.
"These guys are probably harmless, so I doubt they're intentions are that bad. They must want to make a fool out of me and put it on the internet." She thought "I'd rather die than make a fool out of myself in front of friends, family, and especially Konami. If I keep ignoring them then they'll go away."
At some point, Rei fell asleep with the TV but woke up to the sound of the knocking again
Knocking
She rubbed her eyes and looked at her clock and was blown away at what time it was
It was two in the fucking morning
"How can they still be at it?!" Rei thought to herself in shock and awe "Are these people insane?!"
She turned off her TV and sat up with her ears wide open
Knocking
For a few moments, Rei's heart completely stopped when she heard that knock
That didn't come from her front door anymore...
That came at her bedroom door...
Rei was paralyzed with fear before she snapped out of it and jumped out of bed looking around her room like a women trying to escape from her sexual predator and something for her to use as a weapon
POUND! POUND! POUND!
They knew she was awake now. They tried the doorknob and tried to bust down the door. Rei was starting to regret not calling the police sooner and just listened to her instincts.
"This isn't a prank..." Rei thought to herself with fear as if she was sure she was going to die or something much worse will happen to her "What am I going to do...? Konami... Help me...!"
As soon as she thought of Konami, she immediately recalled something he told her to do if she ever got in a situation like this one. It was a long shot but she needed to play this perfectly or else...
"Get it together, Rei!" She thought to herself as she ignored the banging from the door "You can do this!"
She turned on the receiver to her speaker system, plugged in her IPhone, brought up an app, tapped in forty real gunshots sound effects, turned up the volume and pressed play. The sound of a gunshout echoed out of the speakers...
*BANG*
It sounded real enough but now she needed to sound just as real to the intruders
She swallowed hard before speaking with her eyes closed
"That was a warning shot!" Rei screamed "Leave now or I won't hesitate to shoot you in the head!"
After she said that to them, Rei heard two pairs of footsteps stomping over her wooden floors and out of the front door
"D-Did it work..?" She asked herself but had the sense to make it as low as possible before opening her bedroom door and peak outside
They were gone but her front door was left wide open
She quickly shut it, called the police, and called another person as well after this experience
*Ringing*
"Hello?" Konami asked exhausted
"It's me, Konami!"
"Rei?" Konami asked before looking at his clock "Do you know what time it is?"
"I do..." She replied "But I really wanted to tell you something very important right now.."
"What's that?"
"..Thank you..." Rei replied blushing and with a tear drop in her eye
