Me: If you guessed Ruo, you got it right!
Syrus, shaking badly, faced Ruo on the beach below the Slifer Red Dorm.
"Just to warn you guys, Ruo narrates all his duels," Ruka advised, "Anyone want a pair of earplugs?"
"We need complete silence as the duelists get ready!" Ruo barked as he and Syrus shuffled their decks.
"Oh, goody!" Yanagi smiled, "I get to see a Roid-Duelist fight a Morphtronic-Duelist!"
"Morphtronic?" Yamamoto repeated.
"Think of 'Transformers' and you'll understand," Jin replied.
"GAME ON!" both duelists shouted. (Syrus: 4000/Ruo: 4000)
"Alright! The amazing Ruo starts off!" Ruo narrated as he drew, "The Amazing Ruo starts off with Morphtronic Celfon!"
A large yellow cell phone appeared on Ruo's side of the field. Instantly, it began to transform. The top part split into two 'wings' as the '.,' '+,' and '-' symbols changed into arms and hands while the '7,' '8,' '9,' '#,' '*,' and '0' changed into robotic legs and waist. The monster completed it's transformation by showing its head. (ATK & DEF: 100)
"Now Celfon can use its ability to let the amazing Ruo draw a certain number of cards from his deck and summon another level four or below Morphtronic Monster," Ruo narrated, "Let's go, Dial!"
Celfon's untouched numbers began to beep and light up until stopping on '1.' Ruo drew and grinned.
"The Amazing Ruo can now summon Morphtronic Magnen!" Ruo narrated.
A large blue magnet appeared beside Celfon before it changed. The left part changed into legs as arms came out of its sides. A head came out of the other side. (ATK & DEF: 800)
"Now the Amazing Ruo plays two facedowns and ends his turn," Ruo narrated, "Now, can his opponent summon something that can take his Morphtronic Monsters on or not?"
"JUST DUEL AND STOP NARRATING!" Ruka barked.
A yellow, robotic, chibi-dragon with a shovel-claw and a drill for arms appeared beside Ruo and sighed.
"Even your Power Tool Dragon is annoyed by your narrating, Ruo!" Ruka complained as Syrus drew.
"You're so lucky, Ruka," Yanagi sighed, "You can see Duel Spirits, just like all the other Signers."
"Welcome to the club," Bastion said.
"I summon Patroid in ATK Mode," Syrus said as a cartoon police car with a police hat on its head appeared, (ATK: 1200/DEF: 1200) "Now he'll attack Magnen!"
Patroid gave his owner a shocked look before charging at Magnen.
"Oh no! It appears that the Amazing Ruo is in trouble!" Ruo gasped, "But what's this? Yes! He's activated his Morphtransition trap card! Now Patroid's attack is negated and Magnen goes into DEF Mode! And the crowd goes wild!"
The male Duel Spirits, minus Giotto and Necroshade, began to cheer and hoot as Patroid lost its attack.
"Ruo, the male Duel Spirits are cheering," Ruo said, "So don't do any fake crowd applauses."
Ruo glared at his sister.
"I don't get it, Sy," Jaden stated, "Did you forget Patroid could look at one of your opponent's facedown cards once a turn?"
"Um… yes," Syrus admitted, "I'm useless."
"No you're not, Syrus," Tsuna coached, "Just keep trying! Or Reborn might hit you with a Deathperation Shot and you'll be dueling in nothing but your boxers."
Syrus paled.
"Who's Reborn?" Jin asked.
"Ciaossu," a voice said.
Reborn appeared as a hole in the side of the hill was made. Reborn was now dressed up in a mole costume with a miner's helmet.
"DO YOU LIVE TO WEAR COSTUMES?!" all those who knew Reborn, except Aki and Yusei, shouted.
"Ciaossu, Yanagi," Reborn smiled as he got out of his mole outfit.
"Ah! Reborn!" Yanagi gasped, "Thank you for helping me get Ashoka Pillar again!"
"So he's the guy who helped you get Ashoka Pillar?" Yusei asked, "I should have known…"
"I end my turn with two facedowns," Syrus gulped.
"The…"
"DON'T EVEN SAY IT!" Gokudera barked as he pulled out his dynamite, "OR I'LL BLOW YOU UP!!!"
"I draw," Ruo squeaked as Tsuna tried to get Gokudera to not blow the child up.
He looked at the card a smiled.
"Alright!" Ruo cheered, "I play Double Summon!"
"Now he can summon another monster," Yamamoto smiled, "I can't wait to see what other cool monsters he has."
"I summon Datatron and Cameran in ATK Mode!"
An orange ZIP Drive and a red camera appeared. The ZIP Drive transformed. The sides opened to reveal arms at the lower part changed into a waist and legs. The top opened to reveal its head and a blaster. (ATK: 1200/DEF: 600) The camera changed now. The sides and the flasher on the camera became arms as the back changed into legs. A robotic head emerged from the top. (ATK: 800/DEF: 600)
"Now Cameran attacks Patroid!"
"Say what?!" everyone gasped.
Patroid charged at Cameran while Cameran fired yellow lasers from his flasher. The lights bounced off Patroid and Cameran was ran over. (R: 4000-3600)
"Sorry, Cameran. But now I can special summon the Tuner Monster Morphtronic Remocon!" Ruo shouted.
An MP3 Player appeared. It transformed. The sides extended robotic flat arms as the bottom half changed into legs and a waist. On the screen, two eyes appeared. (ATK: 300/DEF: 1200/Stars: 3)
"I then activate my Celfon's ability once more!" Ruo shouted before Celfon picked '2' and Ruo drew two cards, "Yes! I now summon another Magnen in DEF! Here's my Magnen Barrier!"
A second Magnen appeared as the two created a magnetic barrier.
"Now let's start Tuning! I activate Emergency Tuning, which lets me Synchro Summon during the Battle Phase! I Tune Remocon with Celfon and Datatron!"
Remocon began to glow before changing in three Speed Gauges. Celfon and Datatron entered the gauges, becoming four stars altogether. There was a flash of light and Power Toll Dragon roared to life on the field. (ATK: 2300/DEF: 2500)
"Now my Power Tool Dragon attacks Patroid!" Ruo ordered, "Power Blast!"
Power Tool roared before firing a blast of energy at Patroid. Syrus gulped as he activate his facedown. Two cylinders appeared before Patroid. The first captured the beam while the other released it and hit Ruo. (R: 4000-1700)
"Um… what just happened?" Ruo asked.
"He played Magical Cylinder, Ruo," Bastion replied, "The damage he was about to take was now your damage."
"What?! Aw man!" Ruo groaned, "I end my turn since I've got nothing in my hand now."
Syrus drew.
"I play Pot of Greed!" Syrus shouted.
He drew his two cards and gasped.
'Power Bond?! Spaceroid Synchron?!' Syrus thought.
He shook his head.
'I… I can't play that,' Syrus thought.
"I summon the level four monster, Spaceroid Synchron!" Syrus shouted.
A cartoon spaceship appeared beside Patroid. (ATK: 400/DEF: 900/Stars: 4)
"So that's how you knew about Synchro Monsters!" Jaden realized, "You have one!"
"I tune Spaceroid to Patroid to Synchro Summon…" Syrus began.
The back of Spaceroid opened to reveal four Speed Gauges before Spaceroid vanished. Patroid drove through them, changing into four stars before there was the flash of light. The light died down to reveal a mechanical dragon with jumbo jet wings for wings, a nuclear missile launcher on its back, a pile driver on each arm, a speedboat for a left leg, a helicopter for a right leg, and the head resembled a spy plane.
"…Machineroid Dragon!" (ATK: 2900/DEF: 2300)
"It's really powerful, but Syrus can't attack because of Ruo's Magnen," Alexis frowned.
Yusei, Aki, and Ruka grunted in pain.
"Are you guys… AH!" Tsuna gasped.
Yusei, Aki, and Ruka's right arms were glowing red, showing Yusei's dragon mark, the tail, Aki's dragon mark, the right claw, and Ruka's dragon mark, the left claw. The sky began to become dark and stormy.
"Uh oh…" Jin gulped.
"We might want to find shelter," Yanagi advised.
"Why?" Gokudera asked.
"Because the Crimson Dragon wants to appear," Jin replied as crimson lightning shot down and began to move all around.
"Here it comes!" Yusei gasped.
"The Crimson Dragon!" Aki and Ruka added.
The lightning changed into flames before taking on the form of a giant dragon.
"EEK!" Syrus and Ruo yelped.
"That's the Crimson Dragon?!" Tsuna gasped.
Suddenly, the area was engulfed in a bright light. The light faded to reveal just Ruka, Yusei, Ruka, and a fourth person. He had violet eyes and spiked blonde hair. He seemed to have hair extensions in the front which were wrapped in violet bands. His attire consisted of a white and purple trench coat over black pants and silver boots. He also wore a similar neckband to that of Yugi Moto. He also wore earrings in the shape of the letter A.
"Jack?!" Yusei gasped.
"Aw great…" the man growled, "Just where the hell are we and why are you here, Yusei?"
The area below them changed into Duel Academy Island.
"Huh? The school?" Yusei pondered.
Suddenly, eleven pillars erupted from the ground before the island exploded.
"NO!" Yusei shouted.
The group saw three images in the light. Each one seemed to resemble an Egyptian God Card, but more demonic. There was another flash of light and Yusei, Ruka, and Aki were back on the beach, the Crimson Dragon gone and the marks' glowing stopped.
"Hey! What gives?!" Ruo demanded as he tried to activate his Duel Disk, "It stopped working!"
"That's the bad thing about the Crimson Dragon," Yusei said, "He has too much energy and can cause electronic devices to overload and shut down."
"Aw man!" Ruo groaned.
"Hey, Sy," Jaden said as he walked over, "What was that other card you had from your Pot of Greed draw?"
Syrus didn't reply since Jaden had swiped it.
"Power Bond?" Jaden gulped, "If you had a fusion monster that might have negated the effects of those Magnen, then Power Toll Dragon and Ruo would have been cooked."
"It doesn't matter anyways," Syrus sighed as he took Power Bond back, "I can't even use it properly…"
He walked off with his head down.
"Syrus…" Yamamoto whispered.
"What did he mean when he said he couldn't use it properly?" Ruka pondered.
"Something must have happened to make him believe that he couldn't use Power Bond," Bastion said.
"I think I know someone who knows why Syrus said that," Alexis said.
"Who?" Emiko pondered.
"His older brother, Zane Truesdale."
"ZANE IS SYRUS' OLDER BROTHER?!" Emiko gasped.
"Who's Zane?" Jaden, Yamamoto, Gokudera, and Tsuna asked.
"Zane Truesdale is a fourth year Duel Academy student," Reborn explained, "He is the top fighter in Obelisk Blue. His deck involves the use of Cyber Dragons and the Cyber End Dragon."
"Alright. Then let's go see Syrus' older brother," Jaden said.
"You won't be allowed into Obelisk Blue without someone from there, Jaden," Tsuna said, "The other students there will refuse to allow you to enter and might even resort to violence."
"That is why you're going with him," Reborn stated.
"NANI?!"
Me: Oh dear. The Crimson Dragon appearing and showing Duel Academy Island being destroyed by three demonic Egyptian God Cards seems dark and foreboding. And Syrus seems so sad and depressed.
