Arc-V! The start of Pendulum

by dragonicdevil

This is an remake version of the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V, a lot will be similar but some stuff will be different.

21. The gambler meets the entertainer

Arc-V! The start of Pendulum

Last time, Yuya and Yuzu went on their second date and went to the Maiami museum to see an exhibit about Duel Monsters where Yuya found a stone tablet that had carvings of four dragons which one looked like Odd-Eyes Dragon while Yuzu noticed that another of the carvings looked like Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon. Then they met the archeologist Marik Ishtar who was also a pro duelist. He then decided to take them on in a two on one duel. In the end after he had defeated Yuzu so did he allow Yuya to win the duel after he summoned Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon even though Marik could've won since he just wanted to test Yuya's and Yuzu's skills and he also wanted to push them to become even better. What's going to happen next?

Chapter 21- The gambler meets the entertainer

Yuya sat on the floor in his room looking through his deck, seeing if he could do some last minute adjustments to it, he picked up two trap cards and looked at them, "The Junior Youth Championship starts tomorrow, and I know I'm gonna need all the help I can get, so I should use these two cards".

He placed the cards among the ones that were supposed to be in his deck. He then looked next to him and saw his Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon card on the floor. He picked the card up and looked at it.

He remembered what Marik Ishtar had told him when they stood in front of the tablet with the carvings of the four dragons which one looked like Odd-Eyes Dragon. He narrowed his eyes, Marik told us about these four dragons that could be called the Guardian Dragons or the Dimensional Dragons. It's hard to believe the story he told us about Duel Monsters being more than just a fun game. But even so I have a few times seen Odd-Eyes as well as heard some of his thoughts and felt some of his emotions.

Yuya shook his head, he knew that thinking about it too much wouldn't do him any good. Maybe what had told them was true or he might have made it all up, so he decided to not think about it too much and just continue entertaining people with his duels.

Yuya suddenly heard someone knock on his door, Yuya turned towards the door, "Come in!" The door opened and his mother entered his room. Yoko looked at her son who was sitting on the floor with a lot of cards in front of him, "Some last minute changes to your deck?"

Yuya looked at the cards in front of him, "Yeah, well I'm also gonna have with me a few extra cards so I can switches a few cards between duels in order to surprise the audience, however, I can't really decide which ones to go with right now".

Yoko got a small smile on her face and let out a small chuckle. She went down on a knee next to her son and placed a hand on his left shoulder, " Yuya, don't think too much about this go with your instincts as an entertainer". Yuya looked at his mother before he then looked at his cards.

He then got a smile on his face, "You're right mom, thanks". Yoko nodded her head and then stood up, "Dinner will be done soon, maybe a break to eat is just what you need". Yuya nodded his head with a smile before Yoko exited his room so he could work on his deck alone.

Yuya kept working on his deck for another 15 minutes before he heard his mom calling out to him, telling him that their dinner was done.

Yuya put his cards away, "I think I'm almost done, I just need to work on it a little bit more". He then walked out of his room and grabbed the pole and slide down it. He then walked towards the table and saw Sora already sitting at it while he was holding a fork and knife, waiting for the food. Yuya chuckled as he walked over to the table and sat down next to Sora.

LATER THAT DAY,

Yuya was walking through Maiami City, thinking about tomorrow, "Tomorrow it all begins, my first step to becoming a pro is to win the Junior Youth Championship and advance to Youth, I just hope I can pull do it".

Yuya then heard someone call out to him and saw Yuzu running towards him, he got a smile on his face, "Yuzu! I didn't expect to see you much today". The two of them had agreed that they should work on their decks today since it was the day before the Championship began.

Yuzu nodded her head with a smile, "Yeah, I've finished the adjustments to my deck, what about you Yuya?"

Yuya looked up at the sky with a smile on his face, "I have finished my adjustments, however I also have a few extra cards with me so I can change a few cards in it when I feel like I should in order to surprise and entertain the audience".

Yuzu smiled at him, "Yeah that might be a good idea. I just wonder, do you plan to Fusion or Xyz Summon during your first duel Yuya?"

Yuya smiled at her a little troubled, he still haven't told her, the Principal, Gongenzaka or his mom about his Synchro monster, Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon. He wanted to wait to the tournament before he revealed it to them, "I don't know yet Yuzu, we'll just have to wait and see okay?"

Yuzu nodded with a smile, "Yeah I guess it's true, you're main summoning method is Pendulum Summoning after all". Yuya nodded his head, "Yeah, I will mostly use my Pendulum Summoning, however I plan to Fusion and Xyz Summon in at least some of the duels in the tournament".

Yuzu chuckled, "Well that's obvious, I mean it would be foolish to not use Odd-Eyes Blazing, Rune-Eyes or Beast-Eyes since all three of them are quite powerful monsters".

Yuya nodded with a troubled smile on his face while he looked to his side, Yuzu looked at him confused, "Yuya? What's going on? Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Yuya looked her in the eyes, he hadn't yet told her about Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon since neither of them wanted to talk about when Jin and the others attacked them and grabbed Yuzu in order to force Yuya to face them in a two on a one duel, however he decided he should tell her about him.

Yuya opened his deck box and took out his deck and looked through it before he grabbed a card in it and he placed his deck back in to his deck box. He then turned towards Yuzu and held out the card towards her, "Take a look at this card Yuzu".

Yuzu took the card confused and looked at it, her eyes widened, "Hold on, is this… another Fusion monster?"

Yuya nodded his head, "That's right, Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon, a Fusion-Pendulum hybrid monster. I used him during the duel against Jin and Hayata. He helped me turn the tables and win the duel".

Yuzu looked at the card with a smile on her face, "Really? Well in that case, thanks for helping him take them down Odd-Eyes Darkflame". She then handed the card back to Yuya who placed it back in to his deck box.

Yuzu looked at Yuya, "Yuya, are you nervous? I mean by entering the Junior Youth Championship, we're about to take our first step to becoming pros".

Yuya got a smile on his face, "Of course I'm nervous Yuzu, and of course I want to win the tournament and advance to the next rank. However I'm mostly thinking about entertaining the audience with my dueling".

Yuzu smiled at him, "Yeah I guess that's true, I mean, our entertainment dueling is meant to make everyone smile and enjoy themselves".

Yuya nodded his head and the two of them kept walking for a while, however soon a ball hit Yuya's leg. He looked down on the ball before he leaned down and picked it up and looked around for the owner.

Yuzu then poked his shoulder, "Hey Yuya, over there". Yuya followed where she pointed and saw a bunch of kids looking at them. Yuya walked over to them and went down on a knee with a smile on his face as he looked at a nervous boy who was around 7 years old, "Hey, this is your ball, right?"

The boy nodded his head and Yuya held out the ball towards him. The boy took the ball and bowed his head a little, "T-thanks so much Mister". Yuya nodded with a smile before the kids ran off to play with the ball again.

Yuzu walked up to him, she looked after the kids with a small smile on her face, "Things were a lot easier when we were that old right Yuya?" Yuya nodded his head as he stood up again.

However at that moment a tone came out of Yuya's Duel Disk, which meant that he had just gotten a message. He grabbed his Duel Disk and looked at it, he then raised an eyebrow, "It's from an unknown number?" He opened the message and looked through it.

He widened his eyes in shock before he narrowed his eyes. Yuzu looked at him confused, "Yuya? What's wrong?" She leaned in to try and look at the display screen to see the message.

Yuya looked at her and forced a smile on his face while he made sure she couldn't look on the display, "It's… nothing, just a bad joke that's all". He then quickly put his Duel Disk away again.

Yuya grabbed Yuzu's hand, "Now come on, let's walk for a while longer and talk a bit more". Yuzu looked at Yuya troubled before she nodded her head and the two of them continued walking.

However Yuya kept thinking about the message he had just gotten. It had had a picture from their date yesterday. The text that came after the picture told him to be at an old warehouse on the east side of the city around 8 PM this evening or something bad would happen to Yuzu, also it told him not to tell anyone about it.

He narrowed his eyes, I have no idea if this is some kind of bad joke or prank. However I can't ignore it since someone seemed to have followed us when we were on our date yesterday.

He then decided to go to the warehouse later this evening and see who had sent him the message, he wasn't just gonna ignore something like this. However if it turns out to be a joke or something, he would call the police, because he wouldn't forgive whoever sent the message even if it had been a bad joke or prank.

LATER THAT EVENING,

Yuya sat on his bed with a determined expression on face, he looked at his clock and saw that it was 7.30 PM. He stood up, "Time to go".

He left his room and slide down the pole to the bottom floor, he walked towards the door, however just as he were about to grab the handle on the door so heard he a voice behind him, "And just where are you going Yuya?"

Yuya turned his head around and saw his mom standing behind him. Yoko looked at her son, "The tournament is gonna start tomorrow, shouldn't you stay home and rest up before it begins?"

Yuya looked down on the floor, "I have something I need to do first, that's all mom". Yoko got a concerned expression on her face, "This thing you have to do, does that have something to do with the message you got earlier?"

Yuya turned his head towards his mother and looked at her shocked. Yoko got a serious expression on her face, "Yuya, I raised you, do you think that I wouldn't notice that something was bothering you? Also Yuzu called me earlier and told me that she had run met you earlier when you took your walk and that you had received a message and that you started acting weird after reading it".

Yuya looked down on the floor, "Mom, please trust me and let me handle this on my own, I beg you".

Yoko looked at Yuya a few moments before she got a small smile on her face, "I trust you Yuya, just be careful okay?" Yuya turned looked at her with a smile on his face, he nodded his head before he opened door and walked out of the house while Yoko looked at the door as it closed.

30 MINUTES LATER,

Yuya stood in front of the old warehouse, he narrowed his eyes as he walked towards the opened port and walked into the warehouse with a determined expression on his face.

He stopped in the middle of the warehouse and looked around himself, "Alright, I'm here like you asked me! I haven't told anyone about this, so come out already!"

Yuya then heard a loud chuckle in front of him. He followed the sound and saw two short guys in front of him, one with large glasses, green hair and a green shirt while the other one had brown and purple hair with a red hat that had a green jacket on him with a red shirt under it.

The boy with green haired boy adjusted his glasses while he chuckled, "Surprised now? You most likely regret coming here now right? After all you must be quite terrified when you're standing in front of such famous and powerful duelists like us".

Yuya scratched his hair while he raised his right eyebrow, "Um… who are you guys?" The two guys almost feel over from shock when they heard that. The guy in the red hat glared at Yuya, "You… you little brat, what do you mean by 'who are you'? I'm Rex Raptor and he's Weevil Underwood! We're big names in the dueling world".

Yuya closed his eyes as he was thinking, "Hmm, Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood…" He then opened his eyes as a look of realization appeared on his face, "Now I remember!"

Rex and Weevil looked at each other with smirks on their faces, "I knew that you would recognize our names, after all we're…"

Yuya however interrupted him at that moment, "You two are those guys who usually dueled in tag matches in the pro circuit, however you got kicked out of the pro circuit when it was revealed that you two usually tampered with your opponents decks before the duels".

Rex and Weevil almost fell over from shock once again. Rex glared at Yuya, "Shut up brat! That was that guy's idea!" He pointed at Weevil, "That guy always wanted to ensure his victory and usually created a situation to tamper with the decks, I usually planned on facing my opponents fair and square".

Weevil glared at Rex, "What are you talking about Rex? You knew that I always planned to tamper with our opponents' decks right before a duel. However you never told me to stop, instead you usually just told me not getting caught when I did it!"

Yuya narrowed his eyes, "But why did you do things like that? I mean you guys had managed to become pros, so why didn't you guys just face your opponents in a fair duel? Don't you have any pride as duelists?"

Weevil looked at Yuya while he raised an eyebrow, "Face them in a fair duel? Pride as a duelist? Are you really that naïve? Winning is all that matters in dueling, so as a duelist you should do everything you can to ensure your victory, it doesn't matter what kind of dirty methods you need to use in order to win".

Yuya narrowed his eyes, "That's not true, dueling is about facing your opponent fair and square. Also my father told me that dueling should be used to make smile and laugh, to make them happy".

Weevil looked at Yuya with a smirk on his face, "You mean the same father that ran away like a coward when he was supposed to face Strong Ishijima for the title of Action Duel Champion?"

Yuya gritted his teeth, however just as he opened his mouth to protest, he heard a voice behind him, "He's not a coward!"

Rex and Weevil looked behind Yuya while he turned his head around confused and saw a tall young man behind him. The young had blonde hair and brown eyes, He were wearing a green open jacket with a black shirt under it and he also had a Duel Disk on his arm.

Rex and Weevil gritted their teeth while Yuya looked at him shocked, "Hold on! Aren't you…?" However Rex interrupted him, "What are you doing here Wheeler? This doesn't concern you".

The young man who was the famous pro duelist Joey Wheeler walked towards them, "Actually this does concern me, since not only since I have made it my mission to make sure that you two don't ruin the reputation of good and honest pro duelists. Also…" He looked at Yuya, "I respected this young man's father a great deal and I still do, so I won't let you do as you please with Yuya".

Yuya looked at Joey shocked as he walked in front of Yuya to protect him, Weevil narrowed his eyes as he looked at Joey, "Just tell me something Wheeler, how did you know about this?"

Joey got a smirk on his face, "That's simple, you see yesterday I got contacted by Marik Ishtar who had met Yuya and his girlfriend at the Maiami museum, he told me how you to were looking at Yuya with a suspicious expression on your faces so he asked me to keep my eyes on you two in case you two morons were planning something dirty as usual".

Joey narrowed his eyes, "Let me guess, you two want go get your hands on his Pendulum cards right? The two of you is always after rare and powerful cards, thinking it will make you unbeatable".

Rex and Weevil gritted their teeth while Joey turned towards Yuya with a smirk on his face, "What do you say Yuya? Should we teach them a lesson the hard way?"

Yuya looked at Joey shocked, "Wait, are you suggesting…?" Joey nodded his head, before he turned towards Rex and Weevil, "How about this, you two faces me and Yuya in a tag team duel?"

Rex got a smirk on his face, "Oh please Wheeler, you would actually team up with a kid like him? Do you really think you can protect him and fight us at the same time? I mean that kid is nowhere near our league".

Joey's smirk grew, "Actually, from what I heard from Marik, he's quite skilled, I'm pretty sure that in a one on one match, he could defeat both of you". Rex and Weevil narrowed their eyes when they heard that.

Yuya walked out from behind Joey and stood next to him, "I think that Marik might have exaggerated about my skills a little, however I agree to this match, after all I won't forgive you for sending the message where you threatened to hurt Yuzu".

Weevil growled a little before he adjusted his glasses a little, "Very well then, the plan was for you to hand over your Pendulum cards to us peacefully and we would leave your girlfriend alone, but I guess it will be more satisfying to take them from you after defeating you".

Rex then looked at Joey with a smirk, "Not to mention that we will get the chance to get revenge on Wheeler for the times he beat us in the pro league".

Joey activated his Duel Disk, "Not happening, Yuya and I will defeat the two of you, are you ready Yuya?" Yuya nodded his head and activated his Duel Disk as well.

Rex and Weevil also activated their Duel Disks and Joey then spoke, "Now for the rules, each team will share 8000 life points, also none of us can attack during the first turn, and while we can't attack with the our partner's monsters or activate the face down cards, we can use cards on the partner's field, like if I need two sacrifices I can use one of my monsters and one of Yuya's, also if Yuya would Xyz Summon, he could use a monster on my field as material if possible, understood?"

Yuya, Rex and Weevil nodded their heads and all four of them drew their first five cards. Joey looked then looked at the others, "Alright, Weevil will make the first move, then it'll be my turn, then Rex and finally Yuya". All of them nodded their heads.

Weevil then grabbed a card in his hand, "Then I guess I summon Leghul in attack mode". A purple earwig appeared on the field, Atk: 300. Weevil looked at his hand before he looked at Joey, "I end my turn with that, so make your move now Wheeler".

Joey got a smirk on his face, "Legul huh? Planning on attacking our life points directly with his ability, well whatever, it's my move now". He then drew his next card and looked at it, "First I place a monster face down in defense mode". A face down monster card appeared on Joey's side of the field. He then grabbed another card in his hand, "And then I end my turn by placing this card face down on my field". A card then appeared on his field before it vanished.

Rex placed his fingers on his deck, "Then it's my move now". He drew his next card and looked at it, "First I summon Souleating Oviraptor in attack mode". Oviraptor appeared on the field with a roar, Atk: 1800. Rex looked at Yuya and Joey, "And now his special ability activates, when he's normal or special summoned, I can either add a dinosaur from my deck to my hand or send one to the graveyard". A card came out of his deck and he revealed it and it had an image of a black stegosaurus, "So now I send my Black Stego to my graveyard". He placed it into his graveyard.

Rex then grabbed two cards in his hand, "Next I place two cards face down and end my turn". Two cards appeared in front of him before it vanished.

Yuya placed his fingers on his deck, "Then it's my move now". Yuya drew his next card and looked at it, "First I activate Miracle Pendulum Draw! With it I can now send a random Pendulum monster from my deck to my extra deck and then I get to draw one card for every level it has, however I can't Pendulum Summon the turn I used this card".

A card came out of Yuya's deck and he grabbed it and looked at it, "The monster I drew is the level 4 Performapal Silver Claw, which means that I get to draw four more cards". Yuya placed Silver Claw in to his extra deck before he drew four more cards

Yuya looked at the cards in his hand, he then grabbed one of them, "Now I summon my Performapal Skeeter Skimmer in attack mode". Skeeter Skimmer appeared on the field, Atk: 500. He then grabbed two cards in his hand, "And then I end my turn by placing two cards face down on my field". Two cards then appeared in front of him before they vanished.

Weevil placed his fingers on his deck, "Then it's my turn again". He then drew his next card and looked at it, "And the first thing I'm gonna do is activate the spell card Lev. 2 Power Boost!" A card that looked like a large purple turbine appeared on the field, "I can only equip this card to an insect monster, and then the monster equipped with this card gains 1200 attack points and 200 defense points". Two purple turbines appeared on Leghul's back, Atk & Def: 300-1500/350-550.

Weevil then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I summon Skull-Mark Ladybug in defense mode". A ladybug with a black shell with a skull mark on it appeared on the field, Def: 1500.

Weevil then pointed at Yuya, "And now I think I'll start with the child of the coward, Leghul, attack Yuya Sakaki's life points directly". Leghul leapt past Skeeter Skimmer and sank his pincers into Yuya's leg, causing him to groan in pain, Yuya & Joey LP: 8000-6500.

Weevil then grabbed a card in his hand, "Next I place one card face down and end my turn". A card appeared in front of him before it vanished.

Joey closed his eyes with a smile on his face, "I see now, Legul's special ability allows it to attack the opponent directly, however it has very low attack points, so you planned on increasing its attack points before attacking huh? However…" He narrowed his eyes, "I knew Yusho Sakaki pretty well, he was a rival for me in the pro league but also a little of a mentor as well, I know he's not the type to run away from someone, he would fight to the bitter end, so I won't allow you to call him a coward".

Joey placed his fingers on his deck, "It's my turn now!" He drew his next card and looked at it, "Now I summon my Red-Eyes Baby Dragon in attack mode". A small black dragon with red eyes appeared on the field with a tiny roar, Atk: 1200.

Weevil looked shocked before he burst in to laughter, "Oh come on Wheeler, you can do better than that, why would you summon a puny monster like that?"

Joey got a smirk on his face, "Says the duelists using insect cards, and next, my face down monster switches to face up attack mode". His face down monster card flipped face up and revealed a jar with a purple face inside of it, Atk: 200.

Joey's smirk grew bigger, "And now Dice Jar's flip effect activates! Now Weevil, the two of us are gonna roll a dice, and then the one who rolls the lower number is gonna take damage equal to 500 times the number the winner rolled, however if the winner rolls a six, the loser will lose 6000 life points instead". Yuya looked at Joey shocked when he heard that, Is he serious? If Weevil wins by rolling a six then we will only have 500 life points left! Why would he use a card like that?

Rex glared at Joey, "Oh come on Wheeler, not another one of your stupid gambling cards! Why do you even use risky and stupid cards like that?"

Joey got a smirk on his face, "Like I said, Yusho taught me that there is more to dueling than winning right? After my first duel against him, I decided to add a few cards to my deck which would allow me to excite the public as well, and so I choose to add a few gambling cards that could either help me or hurt me, since no one would know how it would end it would keep everyone in suspense".

Joey held up his hand as a dice appeared in it, "Now let's get down to business alright Weevil?" Weevil narrowed his eyes as he held up his hand and a dice appeared in his hand as well.

Then both of them tossed the dices and Yuya looked at them nervously, begging that Weevil wouldn't roll a six. The dices then stopped and Weevil's gritted his teeth while Joey got a smirk on his face, Weevil had rolled a two while Joey had rolled a four.

Joey looked at Weevil, "Looks like I win, which means that you're about to lose 2000 life points". Rex and Weevil gritted their teeth when they heard that, Rex & Weevil LP: 8000-6000

Joey then pressed the image of his face down, "And next I activate this, the spell card Star Blaster!" A spell card an image of a figure that was half angel, half devil. Joey looked at Weevil, "And now I choose one monster on my field, like my Dice Jar. Then I get to roll a dice, and then whatever I roll is added to my monster's level, and then I can sacrifice that monster in order to special summon a monster equal to its level".

The figure that was half angel, half devil appeared with a large dice. It then tossed the dice and all of them watched it roll. It then landed on a four, "Looks like Dice Jar's level now increases to 7". Dice Jar, LV: 3-7. Rex gritted his teeth, "I don't believe it, just how lucky are you?"

Joey looked at him with a smirk as he grabbed a card in his hand, "Now I sacrifice my now level 7 Dice Jar in order to special summon the level 7 Sword Hunter in attack mode". An armored warrior who held a sword in each hand and had a large one on his back appeared on the field, Atk: 2450.

Joey then pointed at Legul, "However, before he attacks, Red-Eyes Baby Dragon is gonna attack your Leghul".

Weevil looked shocked as the black baby dragon flew up in the sky, "Are you nuts? Why would you attack my Legul when he clearly has higher attack points?" Red-Eyes Baby Dragon unleashed a small fire ball towards Leghul, however the earwig avoided the fire ball and jumped towards the small dragon and caught him between his pincers. He then squeezed with his pincers and destroyed the small dragon, Yuya & Joey LP: 6500-6200.

Joey got a smirk on his face, "And now, Red-Eyes Baby Dragon's special ability activates! When he's destroyed in battle, I can special summon a level 7 or below Red-Eyes monster from my deck". Weevil's and Rex's eyes widened when they heard that while Yuya got a smile on his face, I see, so that's what you were planning.

A card out of Joey's deck and he grabbed it, "So now show yourself, mighty dragon of darkness, level 7, Red-Eyes Black Dragon". A dragon that was a full grown version of Red-Eyes Baby Dragon appeared on the field, Atk: 2400.

Weevil gritted his teeth, "You sacrificed that weak monster in order to summon Red-Eyes?"

Joey narrowed his eyes, "Don't talk about Red-Eyes Baby Dragon like that, he's not useless, in fact, he's gonna help me once again". Weevil and Rex looked at him confused as Red-Eyes Baby Dragon's card came out of the graveyard and he held it up, "You see, if I summoned a Red-Eyes monster by using his ability, I can equip Red-Eyes Baby Dragon to the monster I just summoned from my graveyard, which will increase Red-Eyes's attack points by 300".

Red-Eyes roared as Red-Eyes Baby Dragon appeared behind him and grabbed a hold of his neck, Atk: 2400-2700. Rex gritted his teeth, "You bastard! You summoned two level 7 monsters in one turn and then you even increased your dragon's power".

Joey got a smirk on his face again, "That's right, and now the full grown Red-Eyes are gonna get revenge for what happened to his son, now Red-Eyes Black Dragon, attack his Leghul with Inferno Fire Blast!" Red-Eyes formed a massive fire ball in his mouth and fired it towards Leghul and destroyed him, Weevil gritted his teeth while he covered his face from the shockwaves from the attack, Rex & Weevil LP: 6000-4800.

Joey then turned towards Souleating Oviraptor, "And now Sword Hunter, attack Souleating Oviraptor now". Sword Hunter held up both of his swords and rushed towards Oviraptor who roared at him and he slashed at Oviraptor and destroyed him, Rex & Weevil LP: 4800-4150.

Rex pressed the image of one of his face down cards, "Now I activate this, the spell card Revenge Sacrifice". Joey's eyes widened when he saw Rex's face down get flipped face up and it had the image of a woman trapped by tentacles and hands preparing to grab her from behind.

Rex narrowed his eyes, "I was kinda hoping you would attack me with Sword Hunter since he's the monster that bothers me the more. After all monsters he destroys gets equipped to him at the end of the battle phase and then he gains 200 points for every one of them".

Rex held out his hand, "Good thing I had this card ready, thanks to Revenge Sacrifice, since your Sword Hunter destroyed one of my monsters in battle so can I sacrifice him in order to special summon a monster from my hand".

Tentacles came out of the card and wrapped themselves around Sword Hunter before they pulled him into the card. Rex then grabbed a card in his hand, "Next I summon this card from my hand, Super-Ancient Dinobeast in attack mode". A blue creature with small wings on his back with horns on the back of his head, Atk: 2700.

Rex then pressed the image of his remaining face down card, "Next I activate the trap card Call of Haunted! With this card I can revive one monster from my graveyard in attack mode, and so I now revive my Souleating Oviraptor". Oviraptor reappeared on the field, Atk: 1800.

Then a card came out of his deck, "And now since I special summoned Souleating Oviraptor I send my Ultimate Tyranno to my graveyard". He showed the card and it had an image of a large tyrannosaurus with a lot of spikes on his body. He then placed it in his graveyard.

Rex then placed his fingers on his deck, "Also, thanks to Super-Ancient Dinobeast's special ability, every time I summon a dinosaur from my graveyard, I can draw one card". He drew one card and looked at it before he placed it in his hand.

Joey narrowed his eyes, "You sent a monster with 3000 attack points to the graveyard? I don't know what you're planning Rex, but it still won't help you win this duel".

Joey then grabbed the three remaining cards in his hand, "Now I place three cards face down and end my turn". Three cards appeared in front of him before his turn ended.

Rex placed his fingers on his deck, "Then it's my turn now". He drew his next card and looked at it, "Now I activate Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw two more cards from my deck".

Rex drew two more cards and looked at them, "Next I summon my Sabersaurus in attack mode". A triceratops with sharp blades for horns appeared on the field, Atk: 1900.

Marik then turned towards Yuya, "Alright Oviraptor, destroy his Performapal Skeeter Skimmer". Oviraptor roared and ran towards Skeeter Skimmer.

Yuya narrowed his eyes, "Not so fast, I now activate Skeeter Skimmer's special ability! When your monster attacks, I can change him to defense mode in order to negate the attack". Skeeter Skimmer, Def: 1500. Souleating Oviraptor stopped right before he were about to sink his teeth into Skeeter Skimmer.

Rex gritted his teeth, "Fine then, Sabersaurus, take down his Skeeter Skimmer!" Sabersaurus charged towards Skeeter Skimmer and rammed his horns into him and destroyed him.

Rex then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I activate this card, Mystical Space Typhoon, in order to destroy Red Eyes Baby Dragon which is equipped to Red-Eyes". Red-Eyes Baby Dragon then roared in pain before he shattered, causing Red-Eyes to growl, Atk: 2700-2400.

Joey placed Red-Eyes Baby Dragon in his graveyard, "However, now Red-Eyes-Baby Dragon's final special ability activates! When this card is sent to the graveyard while it equipped to a monster so can I add a level 1 dragon monster to my hand".

A card came out of Joey's deck and he revealed it, "And the monster I choose is Black Metal Dragon". Yuya's eyes widened when he heard the dragon's name, "You also have a Black Metal Dragon?"

Joey looked at Yuya, "It seems like you have meet the card before". Yuya nodded his head and Joey looked forward, "Then I guess you know that by equipping it to a Red-Eyes monster, it gains 600 extra attack points?" Yuya nodded his head.

Rex narrowed his eyes, "However you'll never get the chance to use it, now Super-Ancient Dinobeast, attack his Red-Eyes Black Dragon now". Super-Ancient Dinobeast charged up an attack in his mouth and unleashed it towards Red-Eyes.

However Joey pressed his face down card, "Not so fast, now I activate my face down card Graceful Dice!" A small figure that looked like an angel appeared with a large blue dice, "Now I get to roll a dice, and then until the end phase of my turn, all my monsters gains 100 attack and defense points times what I roll". Yuya looked at Joey, if he rolled a three then both Super-Ancient Dinobeast and Red-Eyes would be destroyed since they would both have 2700, if he wanted to win this fight he would need to roll a four or higher.

The angel tossed the dice and it rolled on the floor. It then landed on a four, Rex gritted his teeth while Joey got a smirk on his face, "Looks like Red-Eyes gains 400 extra attack points". Red-Eyes, Atk & Def: 2400-2800/2000-2400.

Red-Eyes flew above Super-Ancient Dinobeast's attack while he charged up his own attack, "Now Red-Eyes, counterattack! Destroy his Dinobeast with Inferno Fire Blast". Red-Eyes unleashed his attack towards Super-Ancient Dinobeast and destroyed him, Rex & Weevil LP: 4150-4050.

Rex gritted his teeth, "Alright, then I guess I activate my Souleating Oviraptor's special ability, now I can target one level 4 or below dinosaur monster on the field and destroy it, and after that I can special summon a dinosaur from my graveyard in defense mode. So now say good bye to Sabersaurus and let's welcome back Super-Ancient Dinobeast". Super-Ancient Dinobeast reappeared on the field, Def: 1400

He then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I activate this, the spell card Spacetime Transcendence!" A card with the image of souls coming out of dinosaur fossils appeared on the field.

Two cards then came out of Rex's graveyard, "This card lets me remove two or more dinosaurs from my graveyard, and then I can summon from my hand or graveyard a monster whose total level is equal to the combined level of the monsters that I removed however it won't be able to attack this turn, and so by removing both Sabersaurus and Black Stego, I can special summon the level 8 Ultimate Tyranno from my graveyard in attack mode". Ultimate Tyranno appeared on the field with a mighty roar, Atk: 3000.

Rex then placed his fingers on his deck, "And since I dinosaur monster were summoned from my graveyard with Dinobeast on the field, I can draw one card". He drew another card and looked at it.

He then grabbed another card in his hand and placed it into his Duel Disk, "Next I activate Dino Blast, now I target one dinosaur monster on my field and then you take 300 points of damage times its level, and so since I'm picking Ultimate Tyranno, you're about to take 2400 points of damage". Razor sharp slashes of wind came towards Joey and surrounded him as he groaned in pain, Yuya & Joey LP: 6200-3800.

Rex then placed two of the remaining three cards in his hand into his Duel Disk, "And now I end my turn by placing two cards face down on the field". Two cards then appeared in front of him before they vanished.

Joey looked at Rex, "And that means that the effect of Graceful Dice ends and Red-Eyes's points return to normal". Red-Eyes, Atk & Def: 2800-2400/2400-2000.

Yuya placed his fingers on his deck, "It's my turn then, I draw". Yuya drew his next card and looked at it, he then placed it in his hand before he grabbed two another cards in his hand, "Now I use the Scale 1 Stargazer Magician and the scale 10 Drago Magician, in order to set the Pendulum Scale". He placed the two cards in the corners of his Duel Disk and the word Pendulum appeared between them.

Then the two Pendulum Zones appeared behind Yuya and Stargazer Magician and Drago Magician appeared in them and the numbers 1 and 10 appeared underneath them.

Yuya held out his hand with a smile, "With this, I can summon monsters between level 2 and 9 at the same time". The large Pendulum appeared in the sky and swung between the two Pendulum Zones, "Now swing, Pendulum of the soul, draw an arc of light across the ether, Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters!"

The portal appeared between the two Pendulum Zones and three beams came from the portal, "First, revive from the extra deck, Performapal Silver Claw". Silver claw appeared on the field, "Now with your infallible lance, smash through all obstacles and dilemmas, show yourself, Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon". Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon appeared on the field as well, Atk: 3000.

Yuya then held up his arm, "And finally, with your heroic and dichromatic eyes, appear Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon appeared on the field with a mighty roar, Atk: 2500.

Rex glared at Yuya, "Hold on a minute! Didn't you sent your Silver Claw to the graveyard before? How could you summon him now?"

Yuya looked at him, "Not exactly, like I told you, Miracle Pendulum Draw sends a random Pendulum monster to my extra deck and then I can draw one card for every level it has. You see when a Pendulum monster on my field is destroyed it goes to the extra deck instead of the graveyard and then I can Pendulum Summon any Pendulum monster that's face up in my extra deck back to my field as long as the scale is right". Rex and Weevil looked shocked when they heard that.

Joey looked at Yuya with a smile on his face, "I see, that means that means that you can keep reviving your Pendulum monsters as long as their levels are between the scales". Yuya looked at Joey and nodded his head.

Yuya then turned towards Rex, "And now time to strike, Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon, attack his Ultimate Tyranno now". Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon roared as his ten wings appeared and he flew up in the air, Yuya then held up his hand towards Drago Magician, "And now Drago Magician's Pendulum ability activates! When one of my dragon type or spellcaster type monsters attacks or is attacked, they gain 400 attack points during that battle". Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon, Atk: 3000-3400.

Yuya looked at Rex, "Also, trap and spell cards can't be activated when Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon attacks". Rex gritted his teeth when he heard that since that meant that he couldn't save his monster.

He then rammed the spike on his chin into Ultimate Tyranno and destroyed him, Rex & Weevil LP: 4050-3650, "And now Drago Magician's Pendulum ability ends", Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon, Atk: 3400-3000.

Yuya then pointed at Super-Ancient Dinobeast, "And now Odd-Eyes, attack his Super-Ancient Dinobeast with Spiral Strike Burst!" Odd-Eyes charged up an attack in his mouth, "And now Drago Magician's Pendulum ability activates again", Odd-Eyes, Atk: 2500-2900.

Rex however pressed the image of the face down he planned on using before and it flipped face up, "Not so fast, now I activate the trap card Sakuretsu Armor! When one of the opponent's monsters declares an attack, this card destroys the attacking monster". Odd-Eyes roared before he exploded.

Yuya narrowed before he placed Odd-Eyes into his extra deck, "Alright Silver Claw, attack his Ultimate Super-Ancient Dinobeast now". Silver Claw growled before he charged towards Dinobeast, "And now Silver Claw's special ability activates, when he declares an attack, the attack points of all Performapal monsters on my field is increased by 300 until the end phase of this turn". Silver Claw, Atk: 1800-2100.

Silver Claw slashed Super-Ancient Dinobeast with his claws and destroyed him, Yuya then held out his hand towards Silver Claw, "And since the battle phase is over, Silver Claw's attack points return to normal now", Silver Claw, Atk: 2100-1800.

Yuya then looked at the three remaining cards in his hand and grabbed one of them, "Now I place one card face down and end my turn". A third card appeared in front of him before it vanished.

Weevil placed his fingers on his deck, "Then it's my turn again then". He drew his next card and looked at it, a smirk then appeared on his face, he turned towards Joey, "Alright Wheeler, you have always said that you think that my beautiful Insect Queen is scary and disgusting right?"

Joey narrowed his eyes when he heard that, "Well of course I do! How can you possibly think that anything about that thing is beautiful?"

Weevil growled a little before he got a smirk on his face as he held up the card he had just drawn, "Well in my hand, I hold a monster whose power surpasses even hers, and this card will allow me to summon this monster".

He placed it into his Duel Disk, "Now I activate my Tribute Burial spell card". Joey's eyes widened in shock when he heard the name of the card, he then gritted his teeth when he saw a card with the image of souls flying around a cemetery.

Weevil chuckled, "Seems like you know what this means, that's right, this card allows me to summon a monster that requires two sacrifices by removing one monster in your graveyard and remove one in mine as well as the sacrifices".

He pointed at Joey, "So first, I'll remove Sword Hunter from your graveyard…" Sword Hunter came out of Joey's graveyard and he placed it in one of his pockets, "And I'll remove Legul from my graveyard". Legul came out of Weevil's graveyard and he placed it in one of his pockets.

Weevil then grabbed one of the two cards in his hand, "And next I summon this, come forth, the ultimate ruler of all insects, level 10, Perfect Insect Queen!" A large monster appeared in front of him, the back half of its body was like a ladybug's, the top part had the shape of a human's except for the large bug eyes, the sharp teeth, and the scythes it had for arms, Atk: 2800.

Joey got a grossed out expression on his face, "Say what? Perfect Insect Queen? She's even grosser than the normal Insect Queen!" Yuya looked at Perfect Insect Queen, normally he didn't like to say mean stuff about any monster card, however he had to agree with Joey that this monster were pretty gross.

Weevil chuckled, "Say whatever you want, however now that this card is on the field, this duel will soon end, you see Perfect Insect Queen gains 400 extra attack points on the field, and since there is currently two of them, she gains 800 attack points". Perfect Insect Queen, Atk: 2800-3600.

Joey's eyes widened in shock, "Say what? It has 3600 attack points now?"

Weevil grabbed the last card in his hand, "Actually, she's about to gain even more power, now I activate the spell card Worm Bait". A card with the images of two larva's coming out of a Dungeon Worm appeared on the field, "I can only activate if I have a insect monster on this field, now this card allows me to summon two Worm Tokens to my field, however I can't normal or special summon level 3 or 4 monsters this turn". Two Worm Tokens then appeared on the field, Def x 2: 0.

Weevil chuckled, "Also I'm sorry to tell you this, but since two more insect monsters appeared on the field, my Perfect Insect Queen gains another 800 attack points". Perfect Insect Queen, Atk: 3600-4400.

Joey couldn't believe his eyes, "It has 4400 attack points now?"

Weevil then pointed at Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon, "Right now, that Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon is the most troublesome opponent here so I'm gonna take him down first, also, he's not a Pendulum monster right?"

Yuya narrowed his eyes confused, "Why do you ask that?" Weevil looked at Yuya with a smirk, "Well you see, if my Perfect Insect Queen destroy a monster in battle and sends it to the graveyard, it's special summoned to my side of the field at the end of the battle phase, and when that happens it becomes an insect monster".

Yuya got nervous when he heard that, Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon isn't a Pendulum monster so if Perfect Insect Queen attacked and destroyed him, he would be summoned to Weevil's side of the field and then he would make Perfect Insect Queen even stronger.

Weevil looked at Yuya with a smirk, "However I also got some good news for you, whenever I want to attack with Perfect Insect Queen, I need to sacrifice an insect monster on my side of the field". Weevil pointed at Skull-Mark Ladybug, "Now I sacrifice Skull-Mark Ladybug so that Perfect Insect Queen can attack".

Skull-Mark Ladybug then got pierced by one of Perfect Insect Queen's scythes and she lifted it up to her mouth before she slowly began to devour Skull-Mark Ladybug while Joey and Yuya looked on disgusted, Perfect Insect Queen, Atk: 4400-4000.

Weevil then placed Skull-Marked Ladybug into his graveyard, "And since Skull-Marked Ladybug got sent to my graveyard, I'll gain 1000 extra life points". Rex & Weevil LP: 3650-4650. Weevil laughed, "And now say good bye to your Odd-Eyes, Perfect Insect Queen, finish him off". Perfect Insect Queen screeched before she charged up a purple blast in her mouth.

Yuya pressed the image of one of his face down cards, "Not so fast, I now activate my trap card Trick Barrier!" It got flipped face up and it was a trap card with the image of an attack that flew around a monster in a hat, "When you declare an attack, this card allows me to choose the target of your attack".

Yuya pointed at Silver Claw, "Your Insect Queen's new target is Performapal Silver Claw". Perfect Insect Queen turned towards Silver Claw.

Weevil narrowed his eyes, "So you mean that you're willing to take over 2000 points of damage in order to prevent me to take control of your dragon? Fine then, now my Queen, destroy his pathetic wolf now". Perfect Insect Queen unleashed her attack towards Silver Claw.

Yuya pressed the image of one of his remaining two face down cards, "Now I activate the trap card Performapal Show Up!" Another one of Yuya's face down cards got flipped face up and it was a trap card with the image of a performer on a scene with an audience that cheered loudly.

Yuya pointed at Silver Claw, "Now this card doubles the attack points of one of my Performapal monsters attack points, so Silver Claw's attack points now is 3600". Silver Claw howled, Atk: 1800-3600.

Perfect Insect Queen's attack then hit Silver Claw and destroyed him, causing Yuya to cover his face, Yuya & Joey LP: 3800-3400. Yuya looked at Weevil, "And since you destroyed the monster I targeted with Trick Barrier so can I draw one card". Yuya drew his next card and looked at it before he placed it in his hand, he then sighed relieved, Good thing I drew Performapal Show Up earlier during my last turn.

Weevil gritted his teeth, "Fine then, I end my turn". He then turned towards Joey, "Alright then Wheeler, it's your turn now".

Joey nodded his head, "Alright then, my move then". Joey drew his next card and looked at it, "Now I activate the spell card Roll of Fate!" A card of a dice with a knight on one side and a princess on the other appeared on the field, "Now I get to roll a dice, and then I get to draw the cards times what I rolled, of course after that I have to remove the same amount from my deck from the game".

A white dice appeared in Joey's hand and then he tossed the dice and it rolled on the ground, it then stopped at three, "Looks like I get to draw three cards". Joey then drew three cards from his deck, he then drew three more cards and placed them in the pocket he had placed Sword Hunter in.

Rex got a smirk on his face, "Looks like you didn't have your usual luck this time Wheeler".

Joey didn't say anything and just looked at the cards he had drawn, "I activate Reinforcement of the Army". A spell card with the image of a warrior leading soldiers in to battle, "This spell card allows me to add a level 4 or below warrior monster to my hand, and I choose Gearfried the Red-Eyes Iron Knight". A card came out of Joey's deck and he revealed it before he added it to his hand. He then pressed the image of one of his face down cards, "And next I activate the spell card Polymerization!"

Yuya, Rex and Weevil looked shocked when they heard that and saw how the fusion card got flipped face up on Joey's field. Rex glared at him, "You're gonna Fusion Summon? But you couldn't do that before".

Joey grabbed a card in his hand, "Let's just say that I have learned a few things since the last time we met Raptor, now back to the duel, now I fuse together my Red-Eyes Black Dragon with Gearfried the Red-Eyes Iron Knight in my hand".

A warrior in a black and red armor appeared on the field, it had a large shield on its left arm while it had a long blade attached to the top of its right arm. Then both Red-Eyes and Gearfried the Red-Eyes Iron Knight got sucked into the vortex that appeared on the field.

Joey placed his hands together, "Now dragon of darkness, become one with the warrior with red eyes, I Fusion Summon! Come forth, level 7, armored dragon of darkness, Red-Eyes Slash Dragon". Out of the vortex came Red-Eyes, only now he was covered in Gearfried's armor and had a blade on each one of his arms, Atk: 2800.

Joey then grabbed a card in his hand, "Next I equip Black Metal Dragon from my hand to my Red-Eyes Slash Dragon in order to increase his attack points by 600". Black Metal Dragon appeared on the field, it then flew over to Red-Eyes Slash Dragon and attached itself to him, covering him with a thin metallic layer, Atk: 2800-3400.

Joey then pointed at Souleating Oviraptor, "And now Red-Eyes Slash Dragon, destroy his extinct lizard with Dragon Slash". Red-Eyes Slash Dragon roared and flew towards Oviraptor.

At that moment so came Red-Eyes Metal Knight Gearfried out of Joey's graveyard, "Next I activate Red-Eyes Slash Dragon's special ability! When a Red-Eyes monster declares an attack, I can equip one warrior monster to Red-Eyes Slash Dragon from my graveyard, and by doing that he'll gain 200 extra attack points". Joey placed Gearfried the Red-Eyes Iron Knight into his Duel Disk and Red-Eyes Slash Dragon roared, Atk: 3400-3600.

Red-Eyes then slashed Oviraptor with the blades on his arms, the dinosaur monster managed to get out a roar of pain before it got destroyed, causing Rex to grit his teeth, Rex & Weevil LP: 4650-2850.

Joey then looked at the remaining two cards in his hand, he then grabbed one of them, "And next I place one monster face down in defense mode". A monster appeared face down next to Red-Eyes Slash Dragon. Joey then grabbed the last card in his hand, "Next I end my turn by placing one card face down on my field". A card appeared in front of him before it vanished.

Rex narrowed his eyes, "Alright then, then it's my turn now". Rex looked at the card in his hand, it was the monster card Des Feral Imp, and it couldn't really help him right now, so every depended on his next draw.

Rex drew his next card and looked at it, he then got a smirk on his face, "Alright, now I activate the spell card Double Evolution Pill", a spell card with the image of a dinosaur appearing behind it.

Rex revealed Des Feral Imp in his hand, "Double Evolution Pill allows me to remove one dinosaur monster and one non-dinosaur monster from my hand and graveyard, so I remove Des Feral Imp in my hand and my Black Souleating Oviraptor from my graveyard". Oviraptor then came out of Rex's graveyard and then he placed it in the pocket with his other removed monsters.

A card then came out of his deck and he grabbed it, "Next I can special summon a level 7 or higher dinosaur monster from my deck, so show yourself Jurrac Tyrannus". A red tyrannosaurus with green legs and front legs with yellow fur on its head and around its neck that also went down to its tail appeared on the field, Atk: 2500.

Joey raised an eyebrow, "That's the monster you summoned? Why didn't you summon something stronger? I know that you have a Super Conductor Tyranno after all".

Rex nodded his head, "True, but I recently got my hands on this rare card and this will be its first appearance". He then pressed the image of his face down card, "Next I activate my trap card, Survival of the Fittest". The card flipped face up and it was a trap card with the image of an Ultimate Tyranno standing over a defeated Black Tyranno.

Rex got a smirk on his face, "Now I can equip this card to one dinosaur monster on my field and then it gains 1000 extra attack points, also if the monster that has this card equipped to it destroys a monster in battle and sends it to the graveyard, it can make a second attack a second time". Jurrac Tyrannus, Atk: 2500-3500.

Rex then pointed at odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon, "Alright Jurrac Tyrannus, attack his Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon now". Jurrac Tyrannus gathered fire in his mouth and unleashed a blast of fire towards Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon.

Yuya held out his hand, "Not so fast, Drago Magician's Pendulum ability activates! Now Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon now gains 400 attack points during this battle only". Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon roared, Atk: 3000-3400.

The next moment the blast of fire hit Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon and destroyed him, Yuya shielded his face from the shockwaves of the explosion, Yuya & Joey LP: 3400-3300.

Rex held out his hand towards Jurrac Tyrannus, "And now Jurrac Tyrannus's special ability activates! When he destroys a monster in battle and sends it to the graveyard he gains 300 attack points". Jurrac Tyrannus, Atk: 3500-3800.

Rex then turned towards Joey, "And with that, he is now stronger than your Red-Eyes, so it's time to say good bye to it Wheeler, now Jurrac Tyrannus, attack his Red-Eyes Slash Dragon". Jurrac Tyrannus gathered fire in his mouth once again and unleashed it towards Red-Eyes.

Joey however pressed the image of one of his face down cards, "Not so fast, I now activate my trap card Shift". The card got flipped face up and revealed a trap card with the image of a knight and a monster with arrows going from one to the other.

Joey got a smirk on his face, "Now this card allows me to change the target of an attack or the effect of a spell or trap to another monster, and I choose my face down monster".

Jurrac Tyrannus turned his head towards Joey's face down monster and unleashed another blast of fire towards it and the attack hit it and a monster that like a tree appeared as it got flipped face up, Def: 500, it then got destroyed by the fire attack. Weevil got a worried expression on his face, "Oh no, not Fiber Jar!"

Joey chuckled, "Yup, I'm afraid so, now since my Fiber Jar got flipped face up, we have to take all cards in our hands, on our fields and in our graveyards and shuffle them back into our decks, and then we get to draw five new cards".

Rex and Weevil gritted their teeth while Yuya looked at Joey with a smile since it would give him a chance to turn things around on his turn which was next. Rex and Weevil returned the two cards they had on their fields each before returning every card in their graveyards to their decks as well which then got shuffled and they drew five cards each.

Joey then returned Red-Eyes Slash Dragon to his extra deck while he returned Black Metal Dragon, Gearfried the Red-Eyes Iron Knight as well as the cards in his graveyard to his deck which got shuffled and he drew five cards. Yuya then grabbed the two cards in his Pendulum Zones, his face down card, the cards in his hand and graveyard and returned them to his deck which got shuffled and drew five cards.

Rex glared at Joey, "My turn is not over yet Wheeler". Rex looked at the cards he had just drawn, "I summon Megalosmasher X in attack mode". A large sea creature then appeared on the field, Atk: 2000. Rex then grabbed another card in his hand and placed it into his Duel Disk, "And next I end my turn by placing one card face down". A card appeared in front of him before it vanished.

Yuya placed his fingers on his deck, "Then it's my turn now". Yuya drew a sixth card and looked at it, "Now I summon my Performapal Whip Viper in attack mode". Whip Viper appeared on the field, Atk: 1700.

Rex looked at Yuya with a smirk, "Wow, I'm so scared, you summoned a monster that's weaker than mine".

Yuya then pointed at Megalosmasher X, "Not for long, you see Whip Viper's special ability allows me to once per turn switch the attack and defense points of one monster on your side of the field until the end phase of this turn".

Rex looked worried as he watched Whip Viper hold up his tail and the heart at the end of it began swaying back and forth. Megalosmasher then lowered his head as he got weaker, Atk & Def: 2000-0/0-2000.

Yuya pointed at Rex, "And now Whip Viper, attack his Megalosmasher X now". Whip Viper flew towards Megalosmasher who roared at him. Rex gritted his teeth and pressed the image of his face down card and it got flipped face up, "Not so fast, I activate the spell card Shrink, this card now cuts your snake's attack points in half until the end phase of this turn". Whip Viper hissed as he got weaker, Atk: 1700-850.

Whip Viper crashed in to Megalosmasher who roared before he shattered while Rex gritted his teeth frustrated, Rex & Weevil LP: 2850-2000. Yuya then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I end my turn by placing one card face down on my field". A card appeared in front of him before it vanished.

Weevil placed his fingers on his deck, "It's my turn now". He drew his next card and looked at it, "I activate the spell card Graceful Charity!" A card with an angel on it appeared on the field, "This card now lets me draw three cards but then I have to discard two".

Weevil drew three more cards and looked at them, he then grabbed one card in his hand as well as one of the ones he had just drawn and looked at Yuya and Joey with a smirk, "Now the cards I'm gonna discard is these two". Yuya and Joey narrowed their eyes when they saw that Weevil was holding two Skull-Mark Ladybugs in his hand.

Weevil chuckled, "I have to thank you Wheeler, it's because you returned my first Skull-Mark Ladybug that I can gain 2000 extra life points". He placed both of his Skull-Mark Ladybugs into his graveyard, Rex & Weevil LP: 2000-4000.

Weevil then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I summon this card, Chainsaw Insect in attack mode". An insect with pincers that were chainsaws appeared on the field, Atk: 2400. Weevil then pointed at Whip Viper, "And now Chainsaw Insect, attack his Performapal Whip Viper now". Chainsaw Insect's chainsaws began spinning as they activated.

Chainsaw Insect then rushed towards Whip Viper who got a scared expression on his face before Chainsaw Insect grabbed him with his pincer, which continued to cut him, he then shattered.

Weevil got a smirk on his face until he saw Yuya's face down card get flipped face up, "Not so fast, I now activate my trap card Defense Draw! Now this card negates the battle damage I would take from one attack and then I get to draw one card from my deck". Yuya drew a card from his deck and looked at it and his eyes widened slightly when he saw it.

Weevil narrowed his eyes, "Actually you're gonna get to draw one more card, because you see when Chainsaw attacked or is attacked the opponent is allowed to draw one card". Yuya got a smirk on his face and drew his next card and looked at it.

His eyes widened slightly once again when he saw the card, I'm missing just a few cards from being able to do the same thing that Reiji did against me during our duel. However he noticed a spell card in his hand that might help, if he just got a good monster to use it on.

Weevil then grabbed two cards in his hand, "And now I place two cards face down and end my turn". Two cards appeared in front of Weevil as he ended his turn.

Joey nodded his head, "Alright then, it's my turn now". He looked at his hand, he had three monsters in his hand and all three of them were high level monsters which meant that he couldn't summon them, which meant that he had to draw a good card now.

Joey placed his fingers on his deck, he then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he then drew his next card, he then opened his eyes and turned it around, a smirk then appeared on his face when he saw the card.

He looked at Weevil, "At first I thought I had drawn a bad hand since I only have these monsters in my hand". He then revealed three of the cards in his hand and Yuya saw to his shock that it was Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon and a dragon he didn't recognize.

Rex looked at him with a smirk, "You're right, that's a really bad hand, you even drew your Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon, which can only be special summoned from the hand by sacrificing a Red-Eyes Black Dragon that's on your field, however its ability to gain 300 extra attack points for every dragon in your graveyard makes up for its its difficult summoning condition".

However Weevil narrowed his eyes a little, "You said that you at first thought that you had drawn a bad hand, what card did you just draw?"

Joey held up the card he had just drawn, "Oh only this", he turned the card around and it was a fusion card with the image of a red vortex with the shadow of what looked like Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon and a fiend type monster being sucked into it.

"I now activate the spell card Red-Eyes Fusion! This card allows me to Fusion Summon a Fusion monster that uses at least one Red-Eyes monster as fusion material by using monsters from my deck, my field or my hand, so now I fuse the three Red-Eyes monsters in my hand together".

Joey then placed the three dragons into his graveyard, then all three of them appeared on the field before they got sucked into the red vortex that appeared on the field.

Joey held out his arms, "Now dragon of supreme darkness, reveal your terrifying three headed form and unleash your incredible might!"

Joey slammed his left fist in to his right palm, "I Fusion Summon! Come forth, level 12, Red-Eyes Supreme Dragon". A massive version of Red-Eyes Black Dragon with three heads appeared on the field and then each head unleashed a mighty roar, Atk: 4200.

Rex got a shocked expression on his face, "What? You summoned a level 12 Fusion monster with 4200 attack points?"

Joey nodded with a smirk on his face, "That's right, also it can attack twice during each battle phase, also if it attacks a monster in defense mode it can inflict piercing damage to the opponent". Rex got a really nervous expression on his face now while Weevil lowered his face a little.

Joey then pointed at Weevil, "Alright Red-Eyes Supreme Dragon, attack his Chainsaw Insect with Supreme Inferno of Destruction!" Red-Eyes Supreme Dragon then gathered fire in the each one of its three heads before aiming its three heads at one point before the heads unleashed three streams of intense fire which fused together and flew towards Chainsaw Insect and caused a massive explosion destroying the insect, sending Weevil screaming to the ground, Rex & Weevil LP: 4000-2200.

Joey then placed his fingers on his deck, "And since your Chainsaw Insect got attacked by my dragon, I'm allowed to draw one card". Joey drew another card and looked at it, his eyes widened a little when he saw what card it was before he slightly turned his eyes towards Yuya.

Joey then turned his eyes back towards Weevil, "You may have managed to increase your life points during your last turn, however it won't help you right now, now Red-Eyes Supreme Dragon, attack Weevil directly with Supreme Inferno of Destruction and end this duel right now". Red-Eyes Supreme Dragon aimed its heads at one point once again and unleashed three streams of fire that fused together and flew towards Weevil.

Weevil however pressed the image of one of his face downs and it flipped face up and revealed a trap card with the image of an egg, "Not so fast, I activate the trap card Spider Egg! Since I now have at least three insect monsters in my graveyard, this trap card negates your Supreme Dragon's second attack and then I can summon three Spider Tokens in attack mode".

A large white egg appeared on the field and blocked Red-Eyes Supreme Dragon's attack before it split in to three smaller eggs which then hatched in to three small spiders, Atk x 3: 100.

Joey narrowed his eyes and grabbed two of the three cards in his hand, "Now I place two cards face down and end my turn". Two cards appeared in front of him before they vanished.

Rex then placed his fingers on his deck, "Then it's my turn again". Rex drew his next card and looked at it, "Now I summon Gagagigo". A lizard man appeared on the field, Atk: 1850.

Rex then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I activate the spell card Earthquake! A spell card with the image of members of Goblin Attack Force on the ground while it trembled intensely then appeared on the field.

Rex got a smirk on his face, "Now this card changes all face up monsters on the field to defense mode". Red-Eyes Supreme Dragon growled as he went down a knee and folded his wings around himself, Def: 3600. Gagagigo then also went down on a knee and crossed his arms, Def: 1000. The Spider Tokens were also changed to defense mode, Def x 3: 100.

Rex then grabbed one of the remaining three cards in his hand and turned it around and it was a spell card with an image of a pill and how a lizard transformed into a dinosaur, "Now I activate Ultra Evolution Pill! So now I can sacrifice a reptile monster on my field which then allows me to special summon a dinosaur monster from my hand, so now I sacrifice my Gagagigo in order to summon Dark Tyranno in attack mode". Gagagigo then shattered and then Dark Tyranno appeared on the field, Atk: 2600.

Rex then got a smirk on his face, "And thanks to you Wheeler, I can now end this duel right here and now, I now activate a spell card that should be familiar to you, Dino Blast".

Joey and Yuya's eyes widened in shock when they saw the same spell that Rex had used earlier in the duel, Rex chuckled, "That's right, we shuffled the cards in our graveyard back into our decks and drew a new hand, which meant that my first Dino Blast returned to my deck, I don't know if this is the first or second but it doesn't matter".

He then held out his hand towards Dark Tyranno, "Now I can target a dinosaur monster on my field and then I can deal 300 points of damage times my monster's level, and since Dark Tyranno is a level 7 monster, the two of you are about to lose 2100 life points".

Razor sharp slashes of wind flew towards Yuya and slashed him while he groaned in pain, Yuya & Joey LP: 3300-1200. Rex then turned towards Joey, "Like I said Wheeler, thanks to you I can end this, since you only have monsters in defense mode now my Dark Tyranno can attack your life points directly, now go Dark Tyranno, attack Wheeler's life points directly and end this once and for all". Dark Tyranno roared and ran towards Joey while Yuya looked at him, wondering if he had a way to save them from losing the duel.

Joey got a smirk on his face as he grabbed a card in his hand, "Not so fast, since you just declared an attack, I can special summon this monster from my hand, now appear Performapal Kuriborder".

Yuya's eyes widened in shock when he heard the monster's name and then he saw a familiar small creature covered in brown fur, it had small green arms and small green legs and a hat on its head that had red and white stripes and it also had a tail with red and white stripes with a yellow star at the tip of its tail, Atk: 300.

Joey looked at Rex who had a shocked expression on his face, "And now, his second ability makes him the new target of your Dark Tyranno's attack".

Rex glared at him before he pointed at Kuriborder, "Now Dark Tyranno, attack Performapal Kuriborder". Dark Tyranno roared and ran towards Kuriborder and stomped down on Kuriborder and crushed him.

Joey looked at Rex with a smirk on his face, "Kuriborder's third and final special ability now reduces the battle damage I take to zero and then I'll gain life points equal to the damage I would've taken from your attack". Rex's eyes widened in shock before he growled, Yuya & Joey LP: 1200-3500.

Rex clenched his right fist, "Darn it, and I was so close to getting revenge for all the times for all the times you've defeated me during these past three years".

Joey looked at him with a smirk, "That's right, you two became pros few months before I became a pro four years ago, however I never got to face either of you two until the year after that since I became a pro near the end of the year". Joey then looked down at his face down cards, However you still wouldn't been able to end the duel this turn even if I hadn't drawn Kuriborder thanks to Chainsaw Insect, because my face down cards is Trap Hole of Spikes which destroys an opposing monster if it attacks during the turn it was normal or special summoned and then the opponent take damage equal to that monster's original attack points.

Joey then looked at his other face down card, And next is my Silver's Cry spell card which allows me to special summon a normal type dragon monster from my graveyard, and since Gemini monsters are normal monsters when they first appears on the field and in the graveyard, I could've used it to bring back either Red-Eyes Black Dragon or Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon and then his Black Tyranno would have to attack the one I brought back instead.

Yuya looked at Wheeler, "That card you just used, Performapal Kuriborder, it's a card that used to belong to my father, why do you have it?"

Joey looked at Yuya, "You're father asked me to take care of it until you were ready to get it, in other words when you were ready to take your first step in becoming a pro".

Yuya looked at him confused, "He did? But why would he give you a card he wanted me to have eventually?"

Joey looked down at the floor, "I don't know why he gave it to me, however a few days before he disappeared, he asked me to meet him". Joey closed his eyes as he thought back to that day.

FLASHBACK,

Joey had arrived at the harbor and saw Yusho standing there looking out over the ocean. Joey walked over to Yusho, "I came as soon as I could Yusho, what did you want to talk to me about?"

Yusho turned towards him with a serious expression on his face. He then placed his right hand into his right pocket and pulled out a card and held it out towards Joey, "Joey, I have a favor to ask of you. Please take care of this card for me, and could you please give this card to my son Yuya when he's ready to take the first step to become a pro?"

Joey looked at the card confused before he grabbed the card and turned it around. His eyes widened when he saw that it was Performapal Kuriborder. He looked at Yusho confused, "Uh sure, I don't mind, but why can't you do it yourself? You're talking like you won't be here".

Yusho got a sad expression on his face before he looked out over the ocean again, "I… I most likely won't make it to the duel against Strong". Joey looked at him shocked, "Say what? Why won't you?"

Yusho closed his eyes, "There is something I have to do, and I have no idea of when I will be able to return, I know this might cause trouble for my son and wife, but this is something I must do no matter what".

Joey looked at Yusho, he could hear the serious tone in Yusho's voice, which caused him that whatever Yusho had to do was really important. Joey got a smirk on his face and held up Kuriborder, "Got it, and don't worry, I will look after this card as long as I have to until Yuya is ready, I promise you".

Yusho looked at Joey with a grateful expression on his face, "Thank you Joey, I wish you further luck in the pro circuit". He then held out his hand towards Joey who shook it.

END OF FLASHBACK,

Joey looked at Yuya, "And that was what your father told me when I met him and he gave me this card and asked me to look after it".

Yuya looked down on the floor with a confused expression on his face, He had something he had to do no matter what? What was it that he had to do, so does the fact that he hasn't returned yet mean that he hasn't taken care of what he had to do yet?

However Yuya got snapped out of his thoughts by a mocking sound, he looked up and saw Weevil looking at them with a expression that showed that he didn't believe him, "Oh please, do you think we will believe a story like that? He just ran away like a coward since he knew he couldn't beat Strong?" Yuya gritted his teeth when he heard that.

Rex nodded his head, "That's right, he made up some stupid story in order to run away and avoid a humiliating defeat by Strong".

Joey narrowed his eyes and glared at the two of them, "Shut up both of you! You two don't know him personally but I do, and so I can tell you that he would face any opponent with courage even if he was unsure if he could win, he's not a coward like you two who usually cheats in your duels".

Rex and Weevil gritted their teeth when they heard the last part. Joey then turned towards Rex, "By the way Raptor, my first duel against you were some time after he disappeared right? If I remember correctly then I completely crushed you after you insulted him right before the duel, mocking me for looking up to him".

Rex gritted his teeth when Joey said that, Joey then looked at Rex, "Alright Raptor, just end your turn already so that Yuya can begin his turn already". Rex glared at him before he closed his eyes, "Fine then, I end my turn now".

Yuya looked at the hand he had drawn, he needed one card in order to be able to summon three of his most powerful monsters. He placed his fingers on his deck, "It's my turn now, I draw". He drew his next card and looked at it, he then grabbed a card in his hand, "Now I summon Performapal Lizardraw in attack mode". Lizardraw appeared on the field, Atk: 1200.

Yuya then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I activate the spell card Pendulum Exchange, so now by destroying a Pendulum monster on my field I can draw one card for every two Scales it has, and since Lizardraw is a Scale 6 monster, I get to draw three more cards".

Lizardraw shattered and Yuya placed him into his extra deck before he drew three more cards from his deck and looked at them, he then got a smile on his face before he looked at Rex and Weevil, "I just drew the cards I needed in order give you a performance that will be one of the greatest I have done so far".

He then grabbed two cards in his hand and revealed them, "And it begins now, I use the Scale 3 Performapal Odd-Eyes Light Phoenix and the Scale 8 Timegazer Magician in order to set the Pendulum Scale". He placed the two cards in the corners of his Duel Disk and the word Pendulum appeared between them.

The two Pendulum Zones then appeared behind Yuya and Odd-Eyes Light Phoenix and Timegazer appeared in them and the numbers 3 and 8 appeared underneath them.

Yuya held up his right fist with a smile on his face, "With this, I can summon monsters between level 4 and 7 at the same time". The large Pendulum appeared in the sky and swung between the two Pendulum Zones, "Now swing, Pendulum of the soul, draw an arc of light across the ether, Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters!"

The portal appeared between the two Pendulum Zones and five beams of light came down from it, "First is Dragoncaller Magician". A masked magician with a brown hat that had a reptile eye on it and a brown staff where the top part was shaped like a dragon's head appeared on the field, Atk: 2400, LV: 7.

"Next is Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon". Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon appeared on the field as well, Atk: 2400, "And after him is Performapal Mimic Dragon". Mimic Dragon then appeared on the field as well, Atk: 0.

"And next is Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon". Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon then appeared on the field as well, Atk: 2800.

Yuya held up his hand, "And now, it's time for the main star to return to the field, now revive from the extra deck, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon". Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon reappeared on the field with a mighty roar, Atk: 2500.

Yuya then pointed at Mimic Dragon, "And now Mimic Dragon's special ability activates! When he's special summoned, his name, attack and defense points becomes the same as another monster's on my field, like my Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon!"

A bright then came out of Mimic Dragon's body and then they could see through the light how his body changed, and once the light died down a second Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon stood where Mimic Dragon had been, Atk & Def: 0-2800/0-2000, LV: 4-7.

Yuya then pointed at Dragoncaller Magician, "And next I activate Dragoncaller Magician's special ability! Once per turn he can change his monster type from spellcaster to dragon until the end phase of this turn". The eye on Dragoncaller Magician's hat glowed for a moment before a yellow magical energy came out of his staff and took the shape of a dragon before it surrounded him and entered his body.

Weevil looked at Yuya annoyed, "And what's the point of all of this Sakaki?"

Yuya held up his hand, "Well first I use my level 7 Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon and the level 7 Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon in order to build the Overlay Network".

Red-Eyes turned into purple energy while Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon turned into yellow energy and they circled each other before they dived down into the vortex that looked like a star system that appeared in front of Yuya before a bright pillar of light appeared from it.

"Now dragon of blazing flames, with dual colored eyes, appear before us and unleash your intense flames to lead us to victory, I Xyz Summon! Come forth, rank 7, Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon!" Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon appeared on the field with a mighty roar with two red orbs orbiting around him, Atk: 3000.

Rex glared at him, "Wow, so you Pendulum Summoned and then Xyz Summoned your Xyz monster, big deal, we saw all of that during your duel against Strong and I'm not any more impressed now than I was back then".

Yuya then grabbed one of the last two cards in his hand, "Who said I was done, now I activate this, the spell card Odd-Eyes Fusion". Rex and Weevil looked at him shocked, "Excuse me, but what did you just say?" Weevil managed to ask, hoping that he had heard wrong.

Yuya placed the spell card into his Duel Disk, "I said I activate Odd-Eyes Fusion, and with it, I can now Fusion Summon a dragon type Fusion monster by using materials in my hand and field as Fusion materials.

Yuya then spread out his arms, "And the monsters I'm gonna fuse together is Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Dragoncaller Magician". Odd-Eyes and Dragoncaller Magician got sucked into the vortex that appeared on the field,

Yuya held up his hands above his head, "Now dragon with dual colored eyes, become one with the magician wielding the powers of a dragon in order to give birth to a new power, I Fusion Summon! Come forth, level 8, dragon with dual colored eyes that wield the power of darkness, Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon". Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon appeared on the field with a mighty roar, Atk: 3000.

Weevil's eyes widened in shock, "No way! You can Fusion Summon as well?"

Yuya grabbed the last card in his hand, "That's right, however I'm not done yet, now by reducing Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon's level to 4, I can special summon the level 1 tuner monster Drago Magician from my hand". Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon, LV: 8-4. Drago Magician then appeared on the field, Atk: 500.

Weevil's eyes widened in shock, "Wait! Did you just say tuner monster? No way… there is absolutely no way that you're about to…"

Yuya's smile grew even bigger, "And now it's time to summon my last performer, so now I tune my level 1 Drago Magician with my Mimic Dragon who has become the level 7 Odd-eyes Saber Dragon".

Drago Magician then became a green ring of energy and the copied Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon flew into it, "Now dragon with dual colored eyes that has been reborn through pure cosmic might, fly across the universe in the speed of light, and strike down your foes with all of your might!" The copied Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon turned into seven stars and became a beam of light, "I Synchro Summon! Come forth, level 8, dragon whose eyes shines brighter than any stars, Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon!" Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon then appeared on the field before he clenched his fists, Atk: 3000.

Rex took a step backwards in shock, "No way! You were supposed to be a weak and pathetic loser, how are you able to use Xyz, Fusion and Synchro?"

Joey also looked at Yuya, and while he was a bit surprised he was mostly impressed, "So not only Pendulum Summoning, but you can also use the other three special summoning methods huh?"

Yuya held out his hand towards Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon, "And now my Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon's special ability activates, if he's Synchro Summoned by using at least one Pendulum monster as Synchro material, he'll gain 200 extra attack points for every face up Pendulum monsters in my extra deck, and I currently have six there". Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon roared while he got surrounded by a white aura, Atk: 3000-4200.

Weevil's eyes widened in shock, "It has 4200 attack points now?" Yuya held up his hand, "But I'm not done yet, now by using one overlay unit, I activate Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon's special ability! Now until the end phase of this turn, I can halve the attack points all of the opponents monsters, and then he'll gain 200 times the total rank on the field".

Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon then caught one of his overlay units with his jaws before he crushed it, before Dark Tyranno got surrounded by a ring of fire, Atk: 2600-1300. The Spider Tokens also got surrounded by rings of fire, Atk x 3: 100-50.

Then the fire surrounded Dark Tyranno and the Spider Tokens flew up in the air and took the shape of a dragon, it then roared before it dove down straight into Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon. He then got surrounded by four pillars of fire that were moving around him in a circle, Atk: 3000-4400.

Yuya got a smirk on his face, "And while I could easily win now by just attacking with either of Odd-Eyes Blazing and Odd-Eyes Cosmic, it wouldn't be fair for Odd-Eyes Darkflame to end the duel before showing his special talents".

Yuya turned towards Joey, "So now I'm gonna use his first special ability which can only be used once per turn. However in order to activate it, I need to sacrifice a dragon type monster on our side of the field, so would it be okay to use your Red-Eyes Supreme Dragon to activate his ability?"

Joey got a smirk on his face, "Well you could do that, but I have another idea". He pressed the image of one of his two face down cards, "Now I activate the spell card Silver's Cry".

His face down got flipped face up and revealed a spell card with the image of a white dragon that stood on the top of a mountain while it let out a roar. Joey got a smirk on his face, "This card allows me to special summon a normal type dragon from my graveyard, so that means I can summon either Red-Eyes Black Dragon or Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon".

A card then came out of his graveyard, "Alright, return to my side my trusted partner, Red-Eyes Black Dragon". Red-Eyes Black Dragon appeared on the field with a roar, Atk: 2400.

Joey looked at Yuya with a smirk, "Now you can use your dragon's ability without sacrificing my Supreme Dragon".

Yuya got a smirk on his face, "Thanks Joey". He then turned towards Rex and Weevil, "Now I activate…"

However at that moment so did he get interrupted by Weevil as his final face down card got flipped face up and revealed a trap card with the image of the ground getting cracked open, "Not so fast, now I activate the trap card Earthshaker!" The ground underneath them suddenly began shaking.

Weevil looked at Yuya with a smirk, "And now it's time for you to make a choice Sakaki. I from the way you have described them I know that your Cosmic Dragon is a light attribute monster while Darkflame is a dark attribute monster, so now you have to choose one of those two attribute and then every monster on the field with that attribute will be destroyed".

Yuya looked between his two dragons, if he chose to destroy his Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon both of Joey's monsters would also be destroyed, however he would be able to special summon either Odd-Eyes or Dragoncaller Magician.

Yuya then took and pointed at his Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon, "I choose my creature of light". Weevil chuckled, "Not the choice I expected but it works for me, now say good bye to your Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon".

The floor under Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon cracked open and a pillar of lava came up from it and hit Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon. Rex and Weevil had satisfied smirks on their faces until the lava disappeared and they saw to their shock that Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon were still on the field.

Weevil took a step back in shock, "No way! Why is your Synchro monster still on the field?"

Yuya looked at Weevil with a smirk, "Well it's thanks to another one of his special abilities. You see, Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon is unaffected by card effects that would make him leave the field, no matter if it would destroy him, remove him from the game or return him to the hand or the deck, which would result in him returning to the extra deck".

Weevil gritted his teeth, "Then that means that you that you chose him since you knew that he wouldn't be destroyed". Yuya nodded his head with a smirk on his face, "Of course, if I can protect my monsters then I will do it".

Yuya then held out his hand towards Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon, "Now like I said, I activate my Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon's special ability. Now by destroying Joey's Red-Eyes Black Dragon, I can destroy one of my opponent's monsters, like that Dark Tyranno, and then the opponent take damage equal to half the attack points of the strongest monster among the two of them".

Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon roared as the flames covering his wings became more intense, then a ring of fire appeared around Red-Eyes Black Dragon before he got hit by a pillar of fire from before, the black dragon roared in pain before he shattered.

Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon then gathered fire in his hands and formed a massive fire ball in them which he then tossed towards Dark Tyranno and caused a huge explosion that destroyed Dark Tyranno, "And since Red-Eyes had the highest attack points, you'll take damage equal to half of his attack points, in other words 1200".

Rex shielded his face from the shockwaves that hit him, Rex & Weevil LP: 2200-1000. Yuya looked at them, "However, now he won't be able to attack directly this turn, and now I activate his other special ability".

His extra deck opened up and a card came out of it and Yuya revealed that it was Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, "Once per turn, I can return a dragon type monster from my graveyard or extra deck to my deck and then I'll gain life points equal to half it its attack points, so by returning Odd-Eyes to my deck, we'll gain 1250 more life points". Yuya placed Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon back into his deck which then got shuffled, Yuya & Joey LP: 3500-4750.

Yuya then closed his eyes, "However, there is one less face up Pendulum monster in my extra deck now, which means that Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon loses 200 attack points". Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon, Atk: 4200-4000.

Yuya opened his eyes and pointed at the first Spider Token, "And now Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon, attack his first Spider Token with Dark Inferno Burst". Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon then gathered fire in his mouth before he unleashed a massive blast of fire towards the first Spider Token and destroyed him, causing Weevil to cover his face from the shockwaves.

Yuya then pointed at the second Spider Token, "And now Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon, attack his second Spider Token with Explosion Force". The spikes on Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon's back began to glow and got covered in fire while he also gathered fire in his mouth. He then unleashed a intense burst of flames from his mouth while two more blasts of fire was unleashed from the spikes on his back and then each one of them hit the second Spider Token and caused a massive explosion, destroying the Token.

Weevil got a worried expression on his face, however he tried to remain calm, "However, even if you manage to destroy my final Spider Token, you still won't be able to wipe out our remaining life points".

Yuya's smirk grew, "We'll see about that, now Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon, attack his final Spider Token with Lightning Cosmic Strike!" The cosmic energy covering Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon's wings then covered his entire body while he roared. He then vanished as he was moving in lightning fast speed while he circled around in the sky, preparing to strike.

The next moment so flew Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon towards the Spider Token in lightning fast speed and crashed in to it, destroying it. The shockwaves from the attack sent Weevil flying to the floor. Weevil sat up, "However, now you have attack with all of your monsters, which means that the only thing you can do now is end your turn".

Yuya shook his head, "You're wrong there, because if I have three or more face up Pendulum monsters in my extra deck so can Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon attack twice per turn".

Weevil and Rex looked at him in shock and horror when they heard that. Yuya then pointed at Rex, "Alright, since I have already attacked Weevil three times, it's only fair if I attack you as well, now Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon, attack Rex Raptor directly with Lightning Cosmic Strike!" Odd-Eyes Cosmic Dragon roared as his body once again got covered by cosmic energy and flew towards Rex in lightning fast speed and crashed in to him, sending him flying to the floor, Rex & Weevil LP: 1000-0.

Rex slowly sat up and looked at Weevil, "No way, how could we lose this duel?" Weevil were about to answer Rex, however before he could so shouted Joey to them, "Hey you two morons!"

Rex and Weevil and saw how Joey glared at them while he were cracking his knuckles, "Listen to me closely, this duel was jus to put you two in your place. But now let me give you guys a warning, mess with this guy or the ones he cares about again, and I'll give you a lesson you two will never forget, understood?"

Rex and Weevil growled before the two of them got up and ran past Joey and Yuya and through the door, Joey looked after them with an angry expression on his face.

Yuya looked at Joey with a smile on his face, "Thanks for all of your help Joey". Joey turned towards Yuya and got a smile on his face, "Don't worry about that Yuya, now there is just one more thing I need to do".

Joey took out his deck from his Duel Disk and looked through it before he grabbed a card in it. He then held it out towards Yuya, "This belongs to you now, it has helped me a few times, but it's finally time for me to keep my promise to your father and give it to you".

Yuya nodded his head and grabbed the card and turned it around, he got a smile on his face as he looked at Performapal Kuriborder, Thanks dad, I promise to take good care of this card and use it to become a great entertainment duelist just like you.

Yuya looked at Joey with a grateful expression on his face, "Thanks Joey, I promise both you and my father that I'm gonna use this card well and that I'm gonna win the Junior Youth Championship".

Joey nodded his head while his smile grew, "That's the spirit, I'm gonna be rooting for you so do your best". Yuya nodded his head before the two of them shook hands.

So it's only one day left until the junior Youth Championship begins and Yuya and the others was preparing their decks for the tournament. However Yuya then got a threatening message that if he didn't come to an old warehouse then something bad would happen to Yuzu. Yuya went to the warehouse at the appointed time and found the former pros Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood there as they wanted him to hand over his Pendulum cards to them. However Joey Wheeler showed up since he had followed Weevil and Rex since he had learned from Marik Ishtar that they were planning something and then a tag team duel between Yuya and Joey vs Rex and Weevil began and in the end so were Yuya and Joey victorious. What's going to happen next? Continue reading to find out and please review.
