Arc-V! The start of Pendulum
Last time, Gongenzaka was going to duel against Ankokuji, however Ankokuji asked to lure Yuya away from the stadium in order to worry Gongenzaka so he wouldn't be able to focus on the match since he would worry about Yuya. However after Yuzu telling him to believe in Yuya and getting a lecture from his father, he calmed down and managed to survive until Yuya got back to the stadium. He then managed to summon his Synchro monster Superheavy Koujin Susano-O and win the duel, next is Yuya's duel against Sawatari, what's going to happen?
Chapter 25- Roar of the storming dragon
Yuya walked out in to the center court with a smile on his face, Nico then spoke, "Alright, now it's time for our second match of the day between the You Show Duel School's Yuya Sakaki and LDS's Shingo Sawatari!"
The kids smiled, "Big bro Yuya!" Yuzu also looked at him with a smile, "Yuya, do your best".
Gongenzaka nodded his head as he now sat between Yuzu and Sora, "Take him down Yuya".
Yoko looked at Yuya with a smile, Alright Yuya, this will be the first step in order for you to get to your father's level, I know you can do it so do your best.
The others in the audience looked at Yuya, "That's the rumored Pendulum user?" One boy asked in the audience, his friend looked at him, "Yeah, but I heard some people say that the Pendulum Summoning isn't real".
The first boy nodded his head, "Yeah, I heard that he must have cheated in his duel against Strong Ishijima".
Yuya stood in the center court waiting for Sawatari. However he then got shocked when he heard music and then saw Sawatari dressed as a wandering samurai while playing on a leaf as he walked in to the center court. Yuya looked at Sawatari confused, "Um, Sawatari? Why are you dressed like that?"
However Sawatari ignored him and just held out his right arm in front of him, "The cards are calling me, they are telling me to draw. Another star has risen to the heaven! Behold, the arrival of the greatest dueling star!" He shouted as he held up his arm in the air.
Yuya looked at him with a shocked expression, not sure what he was supposed to say right now, Sawatari lifted his hat a little, "You know who I am correct?" Yuya at that moment got a tired expression on his face, "Well, I said your name didn't I Sawatari?"
However Sawatari chuckled, "Wrong!" He then threw off his disguise with a smile on his face, "I'm Neo New Sawatari!" At that moment his three friends cheered in the audience, "Neo New Sawatari is the best!"
Yuya looked at Sawatari and sighed, "You do that neo and new means the same thing right?" However Sawatari didn't listen and just chuckled, I nailed it! He was satisfied that his entrance performance had gone as he wanted.
Sawatari then turned towards Yuya and looked at him while he narrowed his eyes, "Yuya Sakaki! I have quite a few grudges against you that I need to settle".
Yuya looked at him confused, "Huh, grudges?"
Sawatari nodded his head and held up a finger, "First, you stole my Pendulum cards after you defeated me, that's unforgivable".
Yuya narrowed his eyes when he heard that, "That's a lie and you know that! You stole Timegazer and Stargazer and used them against me, all I did was take them back after I won".
Sawatari gritted his teeth before he held up two fingers, "Second, you had an Xyz using doppelganger injure me! And that's even more unforgivable".
Yuya sighed tired and looked at Sawatari, "I had nothing to do with that incident nor do I know who did it like I have said many times, also I heard that you weren't injured either…" Sawatari got a troubled expression on his face
Sawatari then held up three fingers with an angry expression on his face once again, "And third, you attacked and injured my dear father! There is nothing more unforgivable than that".
Yuya looked at Sawatari with a tired expression still on his face, "That wasn't me either".
Sawatari got a troubled expression on his face for a moment before he got a determined expression on his face, "Now I'm going to pay you back a hundred times right now".
He then pointed at Yuya, "Mark my words Yuya Sakaki, you are going to lose this duel and experience the greatest disgrace ever!"
Nico had a smile on his face, "What's this? Sawatari is already declaring his victory!"
Hokuto had a smirk on his face, "His introductions are always so long-winded and annoying".
Sawatari looked at Yuya with a smirk, "Your Pendulum Summoning may have been the reason for your many victories recently, however, today it will be the cause of your defeat".
Yuya looked at Sawatari confused, "I'll lose because of Pendulum Summoning?" Sawatari's smirk grew. Yuya's eyes then widened in shock as he remember how Sawatari had told him that LDS was developing their own Pendulum cards. He narrowed his eyes, Could it be that LDS has finished their Pendulum cards and Sawatari has gotten his hands on some of them like he said he would?
Nico then spoke with a smile, "Now then, how will this duel end? Let's find out, but first we need to select the action field".
The sphere of glowing cards with a large action card inside of it appeared above them, "And the field will be…" The sphere then shattered and the action field spell turned around and it had the image of an old temple, "Here it is! Action field on! Activating the field spell Ruined Castle of the Sunset".
The ARC system activated and a temple at a mountain with a wall around it with a fall bridge appeared around them while it was sunset around them.
Sawatari then got a smirk on his face, "Now let's do this! Duelists locked in battle…"
Yuya then threw out with his arm while he continued the chant with a determined expression on his face, "Kicking against and dancing in the air alongside their monsters…!"
Then both of them held out an arm in front of them, "As they storm through this field!"
Nico then continued the chant with a smile, "Behold! This is the latest and greatest evolution of dueling! Action…" He then snapped his fingers and both Yuya and Sawatari shouted, "Duel!" The action cards then scattered across the field as both of them drew their first five cards.
Sawatari looked at Yuya with a smirk, "I'm feeling generous today so I'll let you make the first move".
Yuya narrowed his eyes, He must be planning something, so it's best to strengthen my defenses as much as I can. He then grabbed a card in his hand, "Now since neither of us has any monsters on our fields, I can normal summon Performapal Drumming Kong by reducing its level by one". Drumming Kong then appeared on the field while he hit the drums on his chest, Atk: 1600. LV: 5-4.
Yuya then looked at his hand before he grabbed two cards in his hand, "Next, I place two cards face down and end my turn". Two cards then appeared in front of Yuya before they vanished.
Sawatari's smirk then grew, "Alright, now my legendary revenge duel has finally begun! It's my turn now". He then drew his next card and looked at it, "First I activate the continuous spell card Youkai Shrine of Trials". A shrine with two rows with six candles on each appeared behind Sawatari, "Now, every time a Yousenjuu monster is normal or special summoned so can I place one Yousen counter on this card".
Yuya narrowed his eyes confused, "Yousen counter?" What is he planning to do with those counters?
Sawatari then grabbed another card in his hand, "And next, I summon Yousenjuu Kamaitachi from my hand in attack mode". A tornado appeared on the field and out of it came a weasel looking monster with white hair and a sickle with a chain attached to it in its hand appeared on the field, Atk: 1600.
Sawatari then grabbed another card in his hand, "And when Kamaitachi is successfully summoned, I can normal summon another Yousenjuu monster from my hand as long as it's not another Kamaitachi. I summon Yousenjuu Kamanitachi in attack mode". Another tornado appeared on the field before a second weasel looking monster with hair that had a sword over its shoulder appeared on the field, Atk: 1800.
Kamanitachi then swung his sword and formed another tornado, "And next, since I successfully summoned Kamanitachi, I can normal summon another Yousenjuu monster from my hand as long as it's not another Kamanitachi. Now come forth Yousenjuu Kamamitachi". A third weasel looking monster with white hair that held a dagger appeared on the field, Atk: 1500.
Nico got a shocked expression on his face before a smile appeared on it, "W-what is this, Sawatari managed to summon three monsters to his field at once".
Sawatari chuckled and looked at Yuya, "Being able to summon multiple monsters at once it's not unique for the Pendulum Summoning you know. And since I just summoned three Yousenjuu monsters, I can place three Yousen counters on my shrine of Trials". Three candles then lit up on the shrine".
Ayu looked a little troubled, "T-that is pretty creepy". Tatsuya nodded his head, "I hate to say it, but this deck might actually be pretty good".
Yamabe threw up his arms in the air, "Amazing Sawatari no… I mean Neo New Sawatari!" Ootomo held up a fist with a smile, "You're really the best!"
Sawatari then pointed at Drumming Kong, "I now activate Kamaitachi's special ability! Once when I control another Yousenjuu monster I can return one card on your field to your hand, and I choose your Drumming Kong".
Yuya's eyes widened in shock when Kamaitachi sent the chain attached to his sickle towards Drumming Kong and it got wrapped around him before Drumming Kong vanished from the field. Yuya then grabbed his card while he gritted his teeth a little before he placed it back in his hand.
Shuzo had a look of panic on his face, "This is bad, now Yuya's wide open!" Tatsuya also got a worried expression on his face, "Which means, if all three of Sawatari's monsters attack his life points directly!"
Gongenzaka looked between Tatsuya and Shuzo, "Calm down! Yuya still have two cards face down on his field, I know that they will be able to save him".
Sawatari pointed at Yuya, "Looks like this match is already over, now Yousenjuu Kamaitachi, attack his life points directly". Kamaitachi swung his sickle with the chain for a few moments before he flew towards Yuya.
Yuzu looked at Yuya worried, "Yuya!"
Yuya pressed the image of one of his face down, "I activate my trap card, Performapal Call!" Performapal Call then got flipped face up, "Now not only does this negate your direct attack, but I can also add two Performapal monsters from my deck to my hand whose combined defense points is equal or less than your monster's attack points". Kamaitachi stopped right before he was about to cut Yuya with his sickle with a frustrated expression and jumped back to Sawatari's side.
Two cards then came out of Yuya's deck and he grabbed them, "And the two cards I'll be adding to my hand are Performapal Mimic Dragon with 0 defense points and Performapal Trap Master with 300 defense points".
Yuya revealed the two cards he had added to his hand, one was Mimic Dragon while the other one was a spellcaster monster that looked like a small man with a large hat with a star on it and it also had a red coat while he held a string leading to a trap door in front of him.
Sawatari chuckled, "So you barely avoided losing by negating my first attack, however in case you've forgotten, I still attack two more times, it doesn't matter if you managed to add a few Pendulum monsters to your hand, you're still going to take 3300 points of damage with my next to attacks".
Sawatari then pointed at Yuya, "Alright, this time I'll attack you directly with Yousenjuu Kamamitachi". Kamamitachi prepared his dagger and jumped towards Yuya.
However Yuya pressed the image of his second face down, "I activate the continuous trap card Performapal Pinch Helper!" His second face down got flipped face up and it was a trap card with an image of Performapal Cheer Mole jumping on to the stage.
Yuya held out his arm, "Too bad Sawatari, but this card can negate a direct attack aimed at me once per turn, and then I can summon a Performapal monster from my deck to my field, however that monster's special abilities are then negated".
Kamamitachi who flew towards Yuya then stopped in the air with an angry expression on his face. Yuya then grabbed the card that came out of his deck, "And now, come forth in defense mode, Performapal Kaleido Scorpion!" Kaleido Scorpion then appeared on the field, Def: 2300.
Yuya looked at Sawatari, "And with that you can't attack anymore, since Kaleido Scorpion's defense is higher than Kamanitachi's attack points".
Sawatari chuckled, "Actually, I still can, you see if I cut Kamanitachi's attack points in half until the end phase of the turn, he can attack your life points directly". Kamanitachi grabbed his sword with both of his hands with a smirk on his face, Atk: 1800-900. Yuya got a shocked expression on his face when he heard that.
Yuzu got a shocked expression on her face, "But that means that Kamanitachi can sneak past the defending monster and attack Yuya".
Yuya narrowed his eyes a little, I have already used both of my face downs so I have nothing left to stop this attack with, so there is only one thing I can do now. He then ran towards the drawbridge to the palace yard, figuring there must be an action card inside.
Sawatari looked after him with a smirk, "I'm not going to let you get an action card! Now Kamanitachi, attack his life points directly!" Kamanitachi swung his sword and sent a wind strike towards Yuya.
Yuya ran towards the drawbridge that was slowly being pulled up, Yuya jumped up on it to get inside, however at that moment so did he get hit by the wind strike Kamanitachi sent his way and he fell down on the ground with a groan of pain, Yuya LP: 4000-3100.
Yuya looked up and saw Sawatari with his three monsters around him on a stone wall, "Too bad Yuya, and now I activate Kamamitachi's special ability! When another Yousenjuu monster inflicts battle damage to my opponent so can I add a Yousenjuu monster from my deck to my hand as long as it's not another Kamamitachi!"
A card then came out of Sawatari's deck and he grabbed it with a smirk, "And the Yousenjuu monster I choose is Yousenjuu Ooyamabiko from my deck to my hand". He turned the card around and revealed what looked like a large dark brown almost black ghost.
He then held out his hand towards the shrine behind him, "And next, I activate Shrine of Trials effect! Once per turn, I can remove three counters from it in order to add another Yousenjuu monster from my deck to my hand".
The fire on the three candles got blown out. A card then came out of Sawatari's deck, "So now I add the monster Mayousenjuu Daibakaze from my deck to my hand". Sawatari grabbed the card and revealed it before he placed it in his hand.
Sawatari then grabbed another card in his hand, "Also it wouldn't be fun if I ended the duel too soon, so I place one card face down and then I end my turn". He then pointed at his three monsters, "And now, the three Kamaitachi brothers return to my hand during the end phase when they were normal summoned".
The three Kamaitachi brothers then got surrounded by tornadoes before they vanished from the field and Sawatari added their cards to his hand again.
Yuya narrowed his eyes, He returned his monsters back to his hand and left his field wide open for attacks? Could he be planning something? Is he planning something with his face down or is it something else?
Sawatari looked at Yuya with a smirk, "Now then, please continue with the show, entertainment duelist Yuya Sakaki!"
Nico at that moment spoke, "Sawatari is taunting his opponent without a care in the world!"
Yuya looked at Sawatari with a determined expression on his face, Even if it is a trap, I will everything I can with my dueling!
Yuya then got a smile on his face, "Alright, now it's time for my monsters to enter the stage, here we go". He drew his next card and looked at it, "And first I activate the spell card Pendulum Exchange!"
Sawatari looked confused when Pendulum Exchange appeared on the field, "What does that card do?"
Yuya's smile grew, "It's simple, by destroying a Pendulum on my side of my field, I get to draw one card for every two scales it has, and since Kaleido Scorpion has a Scale of 4, by destroying him, I get to draw two new cards".
Yuya looked at Kaleido Scorpion, "Sorry about this pal, but I promise that you'll be back soon enough". Kaleido Scorpion looked at him before he nodded his head, he then shattered and Yuya drew two more cards.
Yuya then looked at the cards he had drawn as well as the ones that were in his hand, I have a few things that I can do right now, however I think it would be safe to be on the defensive even while I'm going on the offensive.
Yuya grabbed two cards in his hands, "Now I use the Scale 0 Performapal Trap Master and the Scale 8 Timegazer Magician to set the Pendulum Scale". Then the two Pendulum Zones appeared behind him and Performapal Trap Master and Timegazer Magician appeared in them and the numbers 0 and 8 appeared under them.
Yuya then grabbed a card in his hand, "And now I activate Performapal Trap Master's Pendulum ability! By revealing one Performapal monster in my hand…" He turned the card around and revealed Drumming Kong, "Performapal Trap Master's Pendulum ability allows me to add a random trap card from my deck to my hand, of course I can't reveal the same monster in my hand twice".
A card then came out Yuya's deck and he grabbed it and looked at it, he then revealed it to Sawatari to show that it was a trap card before he placed it in his hand. He then spread out his arms with a smile, "And now the moment all of you have been waiting for! Now by using the set Scale, I can summon monsters between level 1-7 at the same time!"
The kids smiled, "It's finally here!" Tatsuya said while Futoshi threw his arms up in the air, "It's time for a Pendulum Summoning!" The audience also looked on amazed, where they about to see the rumored Pendulum Summoning with their own eyes?
The large Pendulum then appeared and swung between Trap Master and Timegazer Magician, "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 came from it, "First, let's welcome back Performapal Kaleido Scorpion from my extra deck". Kaleido Scorpion then reappeared on the field, Def: 2300, "And next let's also welcome Drumming Kong back". Drumming Kong then also reappeared on the field, Atk: 1600.
"And next is Stargazer Magician". Then Stargazer Magician appeared on the field on a knee on the field, Def: 2400, "And next is Performapal Mimic Dragon". Mimic Dragon then appeared on the field as well, Atk: 0.
Yuya then held up his arm with a smile, "And now it's time for the main star to enter the stage! Come forth, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Odd-Eyes then appeared and let out a mighty roar, Atk: 2500.
Nico then held up his left fist with an excited smile on his face, "There it is! It's the Pendulum Summoning method that Yuya Sakaki used to beat Strong Ishijima". The audience looked on amazed and excited over seeing that the Pendulum Summoning was actually real.
Yuya then held out his hand towards Mimic Dragon, "And now Performapal Mimic Dragon's special ability activates, which means that since it was special summoned, its name changes to the name of another monster on the field and then gain its level, attack points and defense points, and I choose Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon".
A bright light then appeared from Mimic Dragon's body and everyone could see his shape change inside of the light. Then once the light died out, a second Odd-Eyes was standing next to Yuya, Atk & Def: 0-2500/0-2000, LV: 4-7.
Tatsuya got an excited expression on his face, "If big bro Yuya attacks with his two Odd-Eyes's or one of them together with Drumming Kong, he'll win the duel!"
Sora licked on his lollipop with a smile, "However, this is a trap to lure Yuya to attack no matter how you look at it right?"
Sawatari looked at Yuya with a smirk. Yuya then pointed at him, "Alright, now I'll attack your life points with my Odd-Eyes". Odd-Eyes then ran towards Sawatari before he jumped up in the air and charged up an attack in his mouth.
However at that moment so revealed Sawatari his Yousenjuu Ooyamabiko card, "At this moment, I activate the special ability of my Yousenjuu Ooyamabiko, when my opponent declares an direct attack, I can send a Yousenjuu monster from my hand to the graveyard in order to special summon it to my field".
Sawatari then placed a monster card that looked like a big eye in to his graveyard and then Ooyamabiko appeared on the field, Atk: ?.
Yuya got a shocked expression on his face, "It's attack points is undetermined?" Sawatari chuckled, "Ooyamabiko's attack and defense points become the same as the attacking monster's original attack points". Ooyamabiko, Atk & Def: ?-2500/?-2500. Yuya got a shocked expression on his face when he saw that Ooyamabiko's attack points was now the same as Odd-Eyes's attack points.
Sawatari then pointed at his Shrine, "And since I successfully summoned a Yousenjuu monster, I can light up a Yousen counter". A candle once against lit up on the Shrine of Trials.
Sawatari looked at Yuya with a smirk, "So what are you going to do now? Are you going to sacrifice Odd-Eyes in order to take down my monster?"
Yuya held out his right hand towards Drumming Kong, "I'm activating Drumming Kong's special ability! Once per turn when one of my monster battles against an opposing monster, I can increase its attack points by 600". Drumming Kong at that moment hit the drums on its chest and created sound waves that hit Odd-Eyes, Atk: 2500-3100.
Sawatari gritted his teeth when he saw that Odd-Eyes's attack points now surpassed his Ooyamabiko's attack points. Yuya then pointed at Ooyamabiko, "Alright Odd-Eyes, take down his Yousenjuu Ooyamabiko with Spiral Strike Burst!"
Odd-Eyes once again charged up his attack and unleashed it towards Ooyamabiko and it hit him in the chest, "And I'm sure that you remember Odd-Eyes's special ability right Sawatari? When Odd-Eyes battles against a level 5 or higher monster, the battle damage is doubled, Reaction Force!"
The orbs on the spikes on Odd-Eyes's back glowed and the force behind his attack increased and blasted a hole through Ooyamabiko's body before he shattered. Sawatari was sent flying screaming off of the wall and on to the ground, Sawatari LP: 4000-2800.
Nico looked at Sawatari, "Oh that must have hurt! Sawatari just received 1200 points of damage since Odd-Eyes doubled the damage".
Sawatari slowly got up, "I now activate Yousenjuu Ooyamabiko's ability! Since Ooyamabiko was destroyed in battle, I can add another one from my deck to my hand". A card came out of his deck and he revealed it to be a second Ooyamabiko.
Futoshi got a frustrated expression on his face, "Oh man! Now it will be pointless for big bro Yuya to even attack again".
Tatsuya nodded his head with a troubled expression, "Yeah, because if he attacks then Sawatari can just summon that second Ooyamabiko and then both it and big bro Yuya's monster will be destroyed".
Gongenzaka got a smirk on his face, "No, there is one monster on Yuya's field that can take down his second Ooyamabiko, and from the look on his face, Yuya knows it too". The kids looked at Gongenzaka confused for a second before they turned towards Yuya and saw the smirk on his face.
Yuya looked at the transformed Mimic Dragon, "Are you ready buddy?" Mimic Dragon roared. Sawatari chuckled, "You fool, I can summon more than one Ooyamabiko per turn, which means that your dragon will be destroyed if you attack me right now".
Yuya's smirk grew, "No my Mimic Dragon will be fine, after all Ooyamabiko gains attack and defense points equal to the attacking monster's original attack points remember?"
Sawatari narrowed his eyes, "What are you trying to…" However his eyes widened in shock as he realized what Yuya was trying to say.
Yuya nodded his head, "Looks like you finally understand, even though Mimic Dragon has become Odd-Eyes, his original attack points are zero, which means that even if you summon a second Ooyamabiko it will not gain any attack points at all".
Yuya then pointed at Sawatari, "Alright, now I attack your life points directly with my second Odd-Eyes". Mimic Dragon roared and ran towards Sawatari before he jumped up in the air and started charging up his attack.
Sawatari gritted his teeth and looked in his hand, he could summon his second Ooyamabiko in defense mode in order to protect his life points, however then he would lose it plus another monster, even if he would get to add his third Ooyamabiko to his hand, he would still lose more than he would gain.
He then looked at another card in his hand, it had an ability that could help him right now, he didn't want to do it either but it was better than losing most of his life points.
Sawatari grabbed the card in his hand and revealed it, "Now by paying 500 life points and sending Yousenjuu Taka from my hand to the graveyard, I can negate your attack". Sawatari then placed the card in to his graveyard with a frustrated expression on his face, Sawatari LP: 2800-2300.
Then a large green and black hawk with razor sharp claws and red eyes appeared on the field with a screech and bean flapping its wings, sending a power gust of wind towards Mimic Dragon and knocked him out of the sky while cancelling his attack.
Mimic Dragon landed next to Yuya and let out a roar. Yousenjuu Taka then disappeared. Yuya got an impressed smile on his face, "Not bad Sawatari, however just because my battle phase is now over, don't think I'm done".
Yuya then held up his arm, "Now I overlay my two level 7 Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragons in order to build the overlay network!" At that moment so turned Odd-Eyes into purple energy while the transformed Mimic Dragon turned into yellow energy and they flew up and circled each other in the air for a moment before they dove down into the vortex that appeared on the ground in front of Yuya.
"Now dragon of blazing flames with dual colored eyes, appear before us and unleash your fierce flames to lead us to victory! I Xyz Summon! Come forth, rank 7, Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon!" Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon then appeared on the field with a roar and with two red orbs moving in orbits around him, Atk: 3000.
Yuya then grabbed one of the remaining two cards in his hand, "Next I place one card face down and end my turn". A card then appeared in front of him before it vanished.
Yuya looked at Sawatari with a serious expression on his face, I couldn't see clearly, but it looked like that his Yousenjuu Taka was a Pendulum monster, I'll just have to wait and see what will happen.
Tatsuya got a shocked expression on his face, "Huh? Why did big bro Yuya bring out Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon now?"
Yuzu looked at the kids, "In order to strengthen his defenses. With Stargazer on the field, if a Pendulum monster leaves the field he can summon it right back, also if Sawatari tries to use an effect that would make Odd-Eyes Blazing leave the field, he can use one overlay unit to negate that effect and then destroy the card that activated it".
Yuya looked at Sawatari, If Sawatari truly watched my duel against Strong then he should know about Odd-Eyes's special ability which means he most likely won't target him with an effect that would make him leave the field like Kamaitachi's special ability. However if he targets another Pendulum monster on my field with Kamaitachi's ability I can use my Stargazer to bring it right back. He might know about Stargazer's ability since the time he stole him from me and used him against me, however maybe he didn't pay attention to what he could do since he was more interested in just being able to Pendulum Summon.
Sawatari chuckled, "Looks like you decided to go on the defensive now huh? Of course I know about your Odd-Eyes Blazing's second special ability and I have also learned about your Stargazer's special ability to special summon back a Pendulum monster that leaves the field".
Sawatari got back up on the stone wall and looked down at Yuya with a smirk, "Alright, now it's time for Shingo Sawatari's legendary revenge duel to truly begin!" He pointed at Yuya, "Yuya Sakaki! After I'm done you'll come to fear the power of the Pendulum Summoning!" Yuya narrowed his eyes, it sure looked like he had been right about Sawatari getting his hands on Pendulum cards.
Yuzu got a troubled expression on her face, "Yuya will come to fear the power of the Pendulum Summoning?" She looked at Yuya concerned, Sawatari did tell us that LDS was developing Pendulum cards and we also saw Reiji Akaba use Pendulum monsters however it didn't seem like they were complete back then. Could they have finished them now?
Masumi sighed tired, "Man, that guy really loves to narrate everything he does". Hokuto nodded his head, "Yeah, that's one of the many things I don't like about him".
Sawatari placed his fingers on his deck, "And now, behold Yuya Sakaki! It's my move now!" Sawatari looked at the card he had just drawn, "First I activate the spell card Spellbook Inside of the Pot, which means that we both get to draw three new cards now".
Yuya narrowed his eyes a little, Both of us get's to draw three more cards? Is he waiting for something, either way it might be a bad idea for him to let me draw cards as well. Yuya then placed his fingers on his deck and drew three more cards and looked at them.
Sawatari then also drew three more cards and looked at them, he then chuckled, "Looks like this will end soon". He then placed the cards in his hand before he grabbed another card in his hand, "Now I once again summon Yousenjuu Kamaitachi to my field". Kamaitachi then appeared on the field again, Atk: 1600.
He then grabbed another card in his hand, "And since I normal summoned him, I can also normal summon Yousenjuu Kamanitachi". Kamanitachi then appeared on the field, Atk: 1800. Sawatari then grabbed a third card in his hand, "And since I normal summoned Kamanitachi I can also normal summon my Kamamitachi". Kamamitachi then appeared on the field, Atk: 1500.
Sawatari chuckled, "And now the effect of my Shrine of Trials activates! Since I summoned three Yousenjuu monsters I can place three more Yousenjuu counters on it". Three more candles lit up on the shrine.
Sawatari then grabbed another card in his hand, "And since there are three Yousenjuu monsters on my field now, I can activate the continuous spell card Yousenjuu Sealing of Forbidden Power".
A spell card with an image of chains surrounded by purple energy appeared on the field before the chains on the image appeared out of the ground and wrapped themselves around Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon who roared as he struggled to break free.
Yuya looked at his dragon shocked, "Odd-Eyes!" He then turned towards Sawatari, "What's going on here?"
Sawatari chuckled, "When I have at least three Yousenjuu monsters on my field, I can activate Yousenjuu Sealing of Forbidden Power and target one opposing monster that was special summoned from the extra deck. All of that monster's special abilities are negated, even those who are activated if it's destroyed or an effect when it leaves the field. Also if the monster is a Pendulum monster, then it will be sent to the graveyard instead of the extra deck if it's destroyed".
Yuya got a troubled expression on his face, That's not good, now I can't use Odd-Eyes's special ability to counter any effect that would make him leave the field, not to mention that if he's destroyed I can't place him in to a Pendulum Zone.
Sawatari then pointed at Yuya, "However, if the monster I targeted is an extra deck monster, you'll get something in return, you see if it's a Fusion monster, you'll gain 1000 life points, if it's a Synchro monster then you get to draw one card".
Sawatari then looked at Odd-Eyes Blazing, "However, your Odd-Eyes is an Xyz monster, which means that a random spell card in your graveyard is returned to your hand".
Yuya narrowed his eyes, he looked at his graveyard, the only spell card in his graveyard was Pendulum Exchange. The card came out of the graveyard and he added it back to his hand.
Nico had a shocked expression on his face, "Sawatari has once again summoned three monsters to his field at once".
Sawatari then pointed at Yuya, "And now I'll attack your life points directly with Kamanitachi by cutting his attack points in half". Kamanitachi held up his sword with a smirk, Atk: 1800-900. He then swung his sword and sent a wind strike towards Yuya.
Yuya got a shocked expression on his face, "Huh? A direct attack?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, I thought for sure that he would target either Odd-Eyes or Stargazer with Kamaitachi's ability, even though it would help me if he targeted Odd-Eyes since I could just bring him back with Stargazer, although if he returned Stargazer to my hand, that could be prevented.
Yuya then saw an action card in a hole in the wall next to him with wooden poles meant to be used as steps leading up to it. Yuya ran up the poles and reached out to grab the action card, however at that moment so did he get hit by the wind strike and it sent him flying to the ground, Yuya LP: 3100-2200.
Yuzu looked at Yuya worried, "Yuya!" She got a troubled expression on her face, if this continued then Sawatari could wipe out Yuya's life points by attacking directly with Kamanitachi.
Sawatari then once again chuckled as he turned towards Kamamitachi, "And next, I activate Kamamitachi's special ability! When another Yousenjuu monster on my field inflicts battle damage to the opponent, I can add a Yousenjuu monster from my deck to my hand".
A card came out of Sawatari's deck and he grabbed it, "The card I'll choose is the Pendulum monster Yousenjuu Sarenshinchuu to my hand". He turned the card around and revealed that it was a Pendulum monster that looked like one half of a gate.
The audience looked on in shocked while Nico spoke with a shocked expression on his face, "What's this? Sawatari just added a Pendulum monster to his hand!"
Yuzu got a worried expression on her face, "So he really has Pendulum monsters". Gongenzaka had an expression of complete shock on his face, "No way!"
Yuya looked at Sawatari, "So I was right, he really had gotten Pendulum cards from LDS".
Sawatari then held out his hand towards his Shrine of Trials, "And next I activate the effect of my Shrine of Trials, by removing three counters from it, I can add a Yousenjuu monster from my deck to my hand". The fire on three candles then got blown out.
A card then came out of Sawatari's deck and he grabbed it, "The monster I'm adding to my hand is the Pendulum monster Yousenjuu Urenshinchuu". He revealed a second Pendulum monster that also looked like one half of a gate.
Yuya narrowed his eyes, "Now he has two Pendulum cards in his hand, which can only mean one thing…"
Sawatari looked at Yuya with a smirk, "Yuya Sakaki, I told you didn't I? Pendulum Summoning would be the cause of your defeat here today".
He then held up Sarenshinchuu's and Urenshinchuu's cards with a smirk, "And now, I use the Scale 3 Yousenjuu Sarenshinchuu and the Scale 5 Urenshinchuu to set the Pendulum Scale!"
He then 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 him and Sarenshinchuu and Urenshinchuu appeared in them while the numbers 3 and 5 appeared under them.
Yuya looked at the two Pendulum monsters, "you really did it… however with a Scale of 3 and 5, you can only summon level 4 monsters from your hand".
However Sawatari chuckled when he heard that, "Did you say that I can only summon level 4 monsters? Sorry but that's not the case, because now I activate Urenshinchuu's Pendulum ability! You see when there is another Yousenjuu monster in the other Pendulum Zone, it's scale is rises to 11". The number under Urenshinchuu then rose from 5 to 11.
Yuya's eyes widened in shock when he saw Urenshinchuu's Scale increase, Sawatari then held up his arm, "Which means that I can now summon monsters between level 4 and 10 at the same time, Pendulum Summon!"
A portal appeared between the two Pendulum Zones and a huge green tornado came down from it, "Now show yourself, O wind clad chief of phantoms! Gouge these lands with your raging cloak, level 10, Mayousenjuu Daibakaze". Then a large green wolf like creature with a horn on its head while dark green winds was moving around its body appeared on the field with a mighty roar, Atk: 3000.
The audience stared in shock and so did Nico before he recovered from his shock, "W-what a shock! Sawatari really surprised everyone here by also performing a Pendulum Summoning".
AT THE SAME TIME AT LDS, CONTROL ROOM,
Reiji sat in his chair with Nakajima and Reira next to him and watched the duel on the monitor, "Pendulum energy detected! The physical image levels are normal, power balance and stability is also normal". Reiji nodded his head when he heard the report.
Nakajima looked at Reiji, "President, looks like this experiment was a success". Reiji didn't answer him and just looked at the monitor at as Yuya's shocked expression appeared on it, Now how are you going to fight against another Pendulum user when Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon has lost all of its special powers? Show me the answer Yuya Sakaki.
AT THE SAME TIME AT THE STADIUM,
Sawatari then held out his hand towards his shrine, "And since I just summoned another Yousenjuu monster, Shrine of Trials once again gains another counter". Another candle lit up.
A boy in the audience spoke in shock, "Wait, so does this mean that Yuya Sakaki isn't the only person who can Pendulum Summon?" Another kid spoke at that time, "I thought he was, but Sawatari did it right in front of us".
Shuzo narrowed his eyes, "Well we knew it would happen someday, however to think that someone else learned how to Pendulum Summon this quickly…"
Tatsuya had a troubled expression on his face, "And not only that, the monster he summoned is a level 10 monster".
Sawatari got a smirk on his face, "That's it, scream and cheer for me more, after all, the fun has just begun!"
Ayu got an angry expression on her face when she heard Sawatari say that, "Hey! That's big bro Yuya's line". Futoshi and Tatsuya nodded their heads with frustrated expressions since they believed that Sawatari didn't deserve to use Yuya's line.
Sawatari however just looked up at the sky with a satisfied smirk on his face, "I am truly the chosen man, Neo New Sawatari!" He then looked down at Yuya, "And I don't only have Pendulum Summoning in my arsenal! I'm going beyond it!"
Yuya narrowed his eyes, "Going beyond Pendulum Summoning?" Sawatari looked at him with a smirk, "That's right, I'm going to show everyone that I have surpassed you as a Pendulum user, I now activate Daibakaze's special ability! When he's normal or special summoned, I can return up to two cards on the field to the hand, and the cards I'm going to return to your hand is your Performapal Trap Master and your Timegazer Magician!"
A hurricane then appeared out of Daibakaze's horn and Trap Master and Timegazer got trapped in it and shielded themselves for a moment before they flew out of the Pendulum Zones and shattered.
At that moment so pressed Sawatari the image of his face down card, "We're not done yet! Now since I have Daibakaze on my field, I can activate the continuous trap card Dizzying Wind of the Yousen Realm!" His face down got flipped face up and it was a trap card with the image of a pair of gates that was opening and revealed a village with a stormy sky above it.
A strong gust of wind came out of the trap card and hit Yuya who shielded his face to protect himself from the powerful winds that hit him.
Sawatari's smirk grew, "Now, if any cards that's not a Yousenjuu card is returned to our hands from the field they're returned to the deck instead". Yuya looked at him shocked before he looked at Timegazer and Performapal Trap Master that he had been about to return to his hand and placed them back into his deck which got shuffled.
A shocked expression appeared on Yuzu's face when she heard that, "Wait, he returned them to the deck? Is he planning to return every card Yuya play back to the deck?"
Gongenzaka narrowed his eyes, "Probably, he's planning on getting rid of Yuya's cards so he won't have any chance of fighting back".
Sawatari then grabbed another card in his hand, "And that's not all, by paying 800 life points, I'll activate the continuous spell card Yousen Tornado that I drew thanks to Spellbook inside of the Pot". A spell card with the image of a horse trapped inside of a tornado appeared on the field, Sawatari LP: 2300-1500.
Sawatari looked at Yuya, "And with that I end my turn now, however don't think for a moment that you're out of danger just because my turn is over, the true terror of my deck is about to begin right now thanks to my combo!"
Yuya narrowed his eyes, "The true terror of your deck?"
Sawatari nodded his head with a smirk still on his face, "That's correct, now I'll show you the Sawatari Legend Combo, Yousen Lost Tornado!"
Yuya got a confused expression on his face, "Yousen Lost Tornado?"
Sawatari held out his hand towards Yuya, "Thanks to Yousen Tornado, when a Yousenjuu monster returns to my hand, I can return one of the opponent's cards to their hand, and then thanks to Dizzying Wind of the Yousen Realm, any non-Yousenjuu card is returned to the deck instead".
Yuya gasped in shock, "But that means…" Sawatari nodded his head, "That's right, since I normal summoned the three Kamaitachi brothers they'll return to my hand at the end phase of the turn, which means that three cards on your field will be returned to your hand thanks to Yousen Tornado. However because of Dizzying Wind's effect, they're blown back into your deck instead".
The three Kamaitachi brothers then got surrounded by tornadoes and vanished, then a tornado came out of Dizzying Wind and Yousen Tornado and flew towards Yuya's field, "The cards I'll return to your deck is Stargazer Magician, Performapal Pinch Helper and that face down card of yours". The tornadoes then hit Yuya's side of the field and Stargazer Magician, Performapal Pinch Helper and his face down card shattered.
Yuzu looked at Yuya worried, "More and more of Yuya's cards are disappearing from his field and returned to the deck so he can't use them any more".
Gongenzaka looked at Yuya, "However he still has Odd-Eyes and Kaleido Scorpion left on his field".
However at that moment so pointed Sawatari at Odd-Eyes Blazing, "Of course, I'm going to make him leave the stage as well! I now activate Yousenjuu Daibakaze's special ability! This card returns to my hand at the end phase of the turn it was special summoned, which means that my Yousen Lost Tornado combo activates again!"
Daibakaze roared as he got surrounded by storming winds that formed a hurricane, and once the hurricane disappeared he was gone. Then a tornado once again came out of Dizzying Wind of the Yousen Realm and Yousen Tornado and they hit Yuya's side of the field and Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon roared, however he was powerless to protect himself because of the chains wrapped around him and he shattered.
Yuya narrowed his eyes as he grabbed Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon's card and placed it back into his extra deck. Sawatari chuckled, "So what do you think? This tornado combo catches all of the opponent's cards in dizzying winds and returns them to the deck that's Sawatari's Legend Combo, the Yousen Lost Tornado! Even your big tough Xyz monster Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon couldn't resist this combo".
Sawatari then held out his hand towards Yousen Sealing of Forbidden Power, "Speaking of him, since your dragon has left the field, Yousen Sealing of Forbidden Power is also destroyed since the targeted monster has left the field". The spell card then shattered and Sawatari placed it in to his graveyard.
Hokuto looked at the duel with a somewhat impressed expression on his face, "In other words, he has sealed Yuya Sakaki's Pendulum Summoning then?" Yaiba nodded his head, "That's a pretty decent strategy actually, especially considering it's Sawatari who came up with it".
Masumi who had had a shocked expression on her face closed her eyes with a sight, "However, his naming this time was awful, however when is it actually good?"
Sawatari laughed as he looked down at Yuya, "I'm Neo New Sawatari! I'm the man that will give birth to a legend! Now finally Urenshinchuu's Pendulum ability ends which means its Pendulum Scale returns to normal". The number under Urenshinchuu then returned to 5.
AT THE SAME TIME AT THE CONTROL ROOM,
Nakajima looked at Reiji, "That's the Pendulum sealing technique you taught him president, he even managed to pull off the part to return Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon to the extra deck".
Reiji looked at the monitor, "Pendulum monsters have the power to revive themselves during the next turn if they're returned to the hand or destroyed and that's their greatest power. However if they're returned to the deck, they can't be summoned back to the field". He looked at Yuya who once again appeared on the monitor, Let's see if you can get out of this situation Yuya Sakaki.
AT THE SAME TIME AT THE STADIUM,
Nico had a shocked expression on his face, "Almost all of Yuya Sakaki's cards have been returned to the deck and he has only one monster left".
Sawatari looked down at Yuya with a confident smirk on his face, "This duel will end during my next turn, now show me your final struggles!"
Gongenzaka got a troubled expression on his face when he saw Yuya looking down at the ground, "This isn't good, it looks like Yuya has given up". He then shouted at Yuya, "Yuya, if you're a man, don't give up until the end!"
The kids nodded their heads, "That's right big bro Yuya! You still have cards in your hand that can help you turn things around so don't give up".
However Yuzu then noticed something, "Wait is Yuya…" She looked closer and saw a smile on his face, "Yuya is smiling!" The others looked at her shocked before looking at Yuya and saw that she was right.
Yuya look up at Sawatari with a smile on his face, I'm in a really difficult situation, right now I have nothing in my hand that can really help me out of this situation, so I wonder, why do I feel so excited right now?
Sawatari then spoke again, "It's time that we finish this once and for all!"
Yuya looked at him while his smile grew, "Finish this? Don't be ridicules, this duel has just begun". Sawatari got a shocked expression on his face when he saw that Yuya seemed to be happy and enjoy this duel despite of the difficult situation he was in.
Yuya looked at his hand, he had a way to use Sawatari's combo against him, however with the hand he had right now Sawatari would be able to wipe out the rest of his life points before that could happen I need one more card in order to survive this turn but the odds of me drawing it is pretty low, however I have a way to increase the odds of drawing it and then have Pendulum Exchange as a backup in case it doesn't work.
Yuya placed his fingers on his deck, "It's my turn now". He drew his next card, "At this moment, I activate the special ability of Performapal Mimic Dragon that got sent to my graveyard along with Odd-Eyes when Odd-Eyes Blazing Dragon left the field".
Sawatari got a shocked expression on his face, "Say what? He has another special ability that activates in the graveyard?"
Yuya nodded his head, "That's right, if Mimic Dragon is in my graveyard during my standby phase, I can send two Performapal monsters from my hand to my graveyard in order to return two monsters that's in my graveyard to my deck and then I get to draw two new cards, however I can't normal or special summon the monsters I returned to the deck during the turn I draw them and I can't place them in to the Pendulum Zones either".
Yuya grabbed two cards in his hand and revealed them and it was Performapal Hip Hippo and Performapal Trampolynx, "I send these two to my graveyard in order to return Mimic Dragon and Odd-Eyes to my deck".
Yuya placed Hip Hippo and Trampolynx in to his graveyard and then grabbed Mimic Dragon and Odd-Eyes came out of it and placed them back into his deck which got shuffled.
Yuya then placed his fingers on his deck, "And now I draw two more cards". He drew two cards and looked at them, he placed one in his hand while he grabbed another card in his hand, "And now I place two cards face down". Two cards appeared on Yuya's side of the field.
Yuya then grabbed another card in his hand, "And next I end my turn by summoning Performapal Skeeter Skimmer in attack mode". Skeeter Skimmer then appeared on the field, Atk: 500.
Yuya then used the poles in the wall to get up on to the top of the wall behind him and then jumped down into the castle yard before he ran towards the temple up on the mountain, "Now let's go Sawatari, after all like you said before, the fun has just begun!"
Two boys in the audience looked on with amazed expressions on their faces, "I came here just because I wanted to see a Pendulum Summoning, but this duel is really turning out to be amazing".
The boy next to him nodded his head, "I never expected that both of them would be able to Pendulum Summon".
Yuzu looked at Yuya who ran up towards the temple, "Yuya! You're still in this match".
Gongenzaka nodded his head and held up his right fist, "That's right Yuya! Open up a path to victory with your own strength!"
Sawatari chuckled, "I have to praise you for not losing hope and is looking for an action card, however everything that awaits you is despair!"
Yuya looked over his left shoulder as he kept running, That's what I want you to think, what I really want you to do is return my face down cards to my deck, because the moment you do then I'll be able to use your own Yousen Lost Tornado combo against you.
Sawatari then placed his fingers on his deck, "It's my turn now". He drew his next card and his smirk grew, Alright, I just drew my other ace monster! He then grabbed a card in his hand, "Now I summon Yousenjuu Kamaitachi from my hand to my field in attack mode". A tornado then appeared on the field and Kamaitachi then appeared out of it, Atk: 1600.
Sawatari then grabbed two more cards in his hand, "And you know what that means, thanks to his special ability I can now summon Yousenjuu Kamanitachi from my hand, and then by using his ability I can also summon Yousenjuu Kamamitachi from my hand".
Another tornado then appeared on the field and Kamanitachi appeared out of it, Atk: 1800. Then a third tornado appeared on the field and Kamamitachi appeared out of it, Atk: 1500.
Sawatari then held out his hand, "And next the effect of Shrine of Trials activates! For every Yousenjuu monster I summon, I can light up a Yousen counter". At that moment three more candles lit up.
Sawatari looked at Yuya, "Yuya Sakaki, while you have been running around looking for an action card, I have been preparing my field in order to end this duel right here and now!"
Yuya didn't answer him since he had finally reached the ruined temple, he looked around and found the staircase leading up, "Over there!" He then ran around the large hole in the floor and ran over to the staircase and ran up it.
Sawatari chuckled, You're struggling in vain, this turn will be the end of you. I know that you're trying to distract me with those face down cards in order to make he hesitate, however it won't work, and while I can't use Kamaitachi's effect to get rid of face down cards, I still have a way to get rid of both your face down cards and Kaleido Scorpion at the same time.
Sawatari then held up his hand towards Urenshinchuu, "Now I activate the Pendulum ability! Since I have another Yousenjuu monster in the other Pendulum Zone, I can increase Urenshinchuu's Scale to 11 for this turn". Then the number under Urenshinchuu once again increased to 11.
Sawatari chuckled, "Now I can summon monsters between level 4 and 10 at the same time". He held up his arm, "Pendulum Summon!"
The portal appeared in the sky and two beams came down, "O wind-clad chief of phantoms! Gouge these lands with your raging cloak! Come forth, level 10, Mayousenjuu Daibakaze!" Daibakaze then appeared on the field with a mighty roar, Atk: 3000.
"And now come forth, blue dragon that control the storming winds, level 8, Yousenjuu Seiryuu". A tornado then appeared on the field and out of it came a long blue serpentine dragon who roared, Atk: 2800.
Yuzu got a worried expression on her face, "He summoned two high level monsters this time?"
Sawatari then held up his hand towards his shrine, "And now since I summoned two more Yousenjuu monsters, two more Yousen counters lights up on the Shrine of Trials". Two more candles lit up on the shrine.
Sawatari held out his hand towards Seiryuu, "And next Yousenjuu Seiryuu's special ability activates! When he's Pendulum Summoned I can return one card on my opponent's field to their hand and then I can return a Yousenjuu monster from my graveyard back to my hand, and I choose to return your Kaleido Scorpion to your hand". Seiryuu opened his mouth and unleashed a tornado towards Kaleido Scorpion behind Yuya and hit him with full force, shattering him.
Sawatari then held out his hand towards Dizzying Wind of the Yousen Realm, "And now thanks to the effect of Dizzying Wind, your Kaleido Scorpion is returned to your deck". Yuya grabbed Kaleido Scorpion's card and placed it back into his deck which got shuffled.
A card then came out of Sawatari's deck and he grabbed it, "And next, I return the Pendulum monster Yousenjuu Take from my graveyard back to my hand". Sawatari revealed the card and placed it in his hand.
Yuya narrowed his eyes, "So I was right about it being a Pendulum monster".
Sawatari then looked at Daibakaze, "Also as you already know, Daibakaze's special ability also work on face down cards".
Shuzo got a worried expression on his face, "This is bad! He's going to get rid of Yuya's face down cards".
Sawatari held out his hand, "Now I activate Daibakaze's special ability, I return two cards on the field to the owner's hand, so say good bye to your two face down cards!"
A tornado appeared around Daibakaze's horn and he unleashed it towards Yuya and Yuya covered his face while his two face down cards flew away before they shattered, Yuya got a smile on his face, "Alright, he did just as I wanted".
Sawatari then held out his hand towards Dizzying Wind again, "And now, the effect of my Dizzying Wind of the Yousen Realm activates once again, which means that both of your face down cards are returned to your deck instead of your hand, which means that this is the end!"
Sawatari pointed towards the temple which Yuya was in, "Too bad for you Yuya Sakaki! Your precious face downs were useless".
Shuzo, Yoko, Yuzu, Gongenzaka, the kids and Sora looked on worried, hoping that Yuya would have a way out of this situation.
Yuya then jumped out of a hole in the roof and landed on it and looked at Sawatari with a smile, "Actually I'm fine with you returning them to my deck, in fact I was hoping that you would". Sawatari got a shocked expression on his face when he heard that.
Yuya grabbed the two face down cards and revealed them, one of them was Performapal Great Escape and the other one was a trap card with the image of Hip Hippo with a mask on his face and a cape walking towards A masquerade party along with Cheer Mole dressed as a fairy while Salutiger was guarding the door.
The cards you returned to my deck were Performapal Masquerade and Performapal Great Escape! And then Performapal Masquerade leaves the field due to a card effect, the names of all monsters currently on the field becomes Performapal until your next standby phase". He then placed both of them into his deck which then got shuffled.
Sawatari got a shocked expression on his face when he heard that, "Say what?" He looked down and saw how the word Yousenjuu and Mayousenjuu in Daibakaze's case in his monsters names got replaced with Performapal.
Nico got a shocked expression on his face, "W-what is this? Sawatari got rid of Yuya Sakaki's face down cards, however that activated the effect of one of those cards and turned Sawatari's monsters into Performapal monsters!"
A video image of Sawatari appeared out of Yuya's Duel Disk and he looked at Yuya with a frustrated expression on his face, "Why you… you planned this from the beginning! You wanted me to return your face down cards to your deck so you could use this effect against me".
Yuya nodded his head, "That's right, while Yousenjuu monsters aren't affected by Dizzying Wind, now your monsters aren't Yousenjuu monsters at the moment, which means..."
Yuzu got a smile on her face, "Which means that once this turn ends, Sawatari's monsters will be returned to the deck instead of going back to his hand".
Tatsuya got an excited expression on his face, "I see, that's why big bro Yuya wanted Sawatari to return Performapal Masquerade to the deck so this effect could be activated".
Yuya then placed his fingers on his deck, "And now thanks to the effect of Performapal Masquerade, we also get to draw two cards each from our decks".
Sawatari gritted his teeth before he chuckled, "You're actually not half-bad Yuya". Sawatari then placed his fingers on his deck and drew two more cards and looked at them.
Yuya smiled, "You're pretty good as well". He then drew his two cards and looked at them and got a shocked expression on his face, he then placed them in his hand, he then looked at Sawatari, "And next…"
However Sawatari interrupted him here, "However, do you really think that you'll last until the end phase of this turn?"
He then looked at Kamaitachi, "I can't use my Kamaitachi's ability now since my monsters aren't Yousenjuu monsters anymore, however I still have more than enough attack power to end things here and now".
He then pointed at Skeeter Skimmer, "Now Kamaitachi, attack his Skeeter Skimmer now". Kamaitachi spun his sickle with the chain before he tossed it towards Skeeter Skimmer.
Yuya held out his hand, "I activate Performapal Skeeter Skimmer's special ability! Once per turn I can switch this monster to defense mode and then negate one of your attacks". Skeeter Skimmer, Def: 1500. Kamaitachi then pulled the chain on his sickle and pulled it back in to his hand with a frustrated expression.
Sawatari, "I am fully aware of your monster's ability, however like you said, it can only negate one attack per turn, which means that Kamamitachi can now take it out". Kamamitachi then surrounded itself with wind and jumped towards Skeeter Skimmer before it slashed it with its dagger, destroying the monster.
Sawatari laughed, "This is the end Yuya". He then jumped off of the wall while Daibakaze unleashed a tornado from his horn which Sawatari landed on and then used to jumped up on Daibakaze's head, "And now, I'll attack your life points directly with Daibakaze and Seiryuu". Both Daibakaze and Seiryuu roared while Daibakaze surrounded himself with wind before he ran toward Yuya with Seiryuu not far behind him.
Yuzu and the others shielded themselves from the powerful wind that Daibakaze was releasing, "This is crazy! He's attacking with both of them at the same time? That's overkill!"
Yuya pulled his goggles down over his eyes, "This won't be the end!" He then quickly jumped down the hole in the roof and got down in to the temple again. Sawatari had an insane smile on his face, "I already told you, this is the end!" Daibakaze then roared as he turned around and swung his tail and sent a tornado towards the temple while Seiryuu unleashed a tornado from its mouth towards the temple as well.
Gongenzaka and Yuzu both looked on in horror when they saw how both of the tornadoes collided with the temple, knowing that the damage building wouldn't be able to withstand it, "Yuya!" Then all of them saw how the temple collapsed after being hit by two powerful tornadoes, "Noooo!" Yuzu screamed in horror since she believed that Yuya had been crushed when the temple collapsed, she then covered her face as tears started to form in the corners of her eyes.
Tatsuya also had a worried expression on his face, "Big bro Yuya, please tell me he's okay". Ayu looked like she was about to cry as well, "He has to be, he just has to be okay".
Yoko also had a worried expression on her face, "Yuya…" She really hoped that her son had managed to somehow get out of the temple before it collapsed.
Sawatari chuckled as he looked down from the top of Daibakaze's head, "You've lost Yuya Sakaki".
However at that moment they heard the sound of snapping fingers. Yuzu looked up and gasped in shock when she saw a figure on the top of a watch tower. Spotlights then fell on the tower and everyone saw Yuya standing on top of it, "What's this? It's Yuya Sakaki!"
Gongenzaka got a smirk on his face, "That guy, he managed to survive that somehow".
Sawatari looked at Yuya shocked, "T-that's impossible! You should've lost when you got hit by my double direct attack, did you managed to get an action card in the last second or something?"
Yuya chuckled and held up an action card, "Sure I managed to find an action card, but it wasn't anything I could use, however I didn't need to use one either since you had already made sure that I was protected this turn".
Sawatari narrowed his eyes, "I made sure you were protected? What do you…" However at that moment his eyes widened in shock, "Don't tell me…"
Yuya nodded his head, "That's right, when my Performapal Great Escape trap card leaves the field due to an effect, in order words when you returned it to my deck earlier, I take no battle damage or effect damage this turn".
A few girls in the audience looked at Yuya with amazed expressions on their faces, "Amazing, he's like an escape artist!" Then a boy in the audience placed his hands around his mouth, "Nice one!"
Yuya smiled and bowed his head a little when he heard how the audience cheered over his escape performance. However he then looked up shocked when he heard Sawatari's voice, "Stop messing around! You're not allowed to excite the crowd like that!"
Yuya turned towards Sawatari with a frustrated expression, "This is MY dueling style! Making the audience excited and also putting smiles on their faces".
Sawatari gritted his teeth before he held out his arm, "Well, I will be the one who gets the last cheers, I now activate the effect of Shrine of Trials! By removing three Yousen counters I can add a Yousenjuu monster from my deck to my hand".
The fire of three of the seven lit candles then got blown out before a card came out of Sawatari's deck. Sawatari grabbed the card and revealed it, "I now add my second Kamaitachi to my hand, and with that I now end my turn".
Yuya then bowed with a smile, "Now then, your monsters have shown us a fantastic performance up until now, but now I must ask them to leave the stage". Sawatari gritted his teeth as he grabbed the five monster cards on his Duel Disk as all five of his monsters got surrounded by wind before they vanished.
Sawatari held up Yousenjuu Seiryuu's card, "Just like Daibakaze, Yousenjuu Seiryuu returns to my hand at the end phase of the turn it was special summoned, also since no Yousenjuu monster was returned to my hand during the end phase of my turn, Yousen Tornado is destroyed". Yousen Tornado then shattered.
Sawatari then looked up at Urenshinchuu, "And since the turn is over, Urenshinchuu's Pendulum ability ends and its Pendulum Scale return to normal". The number under Urenshinchuu then decreased to 5 again.
Nico held up his mike with his left hand while he held a fan in his right one, "Now then, Sawatari's monster's won't return to his hand, instead they will be returned to his deck since thanks to Yuya Sakaki's trap card, they weren't Yousenjuu monsters when they returned to his hand".
Sawatari gritted his teeth as he placed his five monsters back into his deck which then got shuffled.
Yuya looked at Sawatari with a smile, "Looks like both of our fields have gotten pretty lonely". Sawatari looked at Yuya with a smirk, "Oh don't worry, I'll make things lively again during my next turn, but first, make your move".
Yuya nodded his head, "Of course, now I draw!" Yuya drew his next card and looked at it, "Sweet, now I activate this, the spell card Miracle Pendulum Draw! With this card I can send a random Pendulum monster from my deck to my extra deck in order to draw one card for every level it has".
A card came out of his deck and he grabbed it and looked at it, he then turned the card around, "And the card I'm sending to my extra deck is Performapal Silver Claw, which means I get to draw four new cards".
Yuya then drew four new cards and looked at them. Two boys in the audience had excited smiles on their faces, "Now unless you count the action card, he has nine cards in his hand, is he going to Pendulum Summon again?"
Yuya then looked at Sawatari, "However, I can't Pendulum Summon during the turn I activated Miracle Pendulum Draw".
The boys in the audience got a disappointed expression on his face, "What? He can't Pendulum Summon because he used that spell card?"
Yuya then grabbed a card in his hand and revealed it to be Drumming Kong, "Next since neither of us has any monsters on our fields, I can normal summon Performapal Drumming Kong by reducing its level by one". Drumming Kong then reappeared on the field, Atk: 1600, LV: 5-4.
Yuya then jumped on Drumming Kong's back, "Alright buddy, attack Sawatari's life points directly". Drumming Kong then ran on all four towards Sawatari while he had Yuya on his back
Sawatari gritted his teeth, "So you're going on the attack huh?" He looked at the six cards in his hand, two of them were his remaining two Yousenjuu Ooyamabiko, one was his second Kamamitachi, the fourth was his Yousenjuu Taka and then he had a second Yousenjuu Wind of the Yousen Realm and the final card was the was a second Yousenjuu Sealing of Forbidden Power.
Sawatari gritted his teeth, he knew that he either needed to discard Yousenjuu Taka again in order to negate the attack or summon one of the Ooyamabikos, he then made his decision.
He grabbed a card in his hand and revealed it to be Ooyamabiko, "Now I activate Ooyamabiko's special ability! By sacrificing my second Ooyamabiko I can special summon my third one from my hand".
He placed one of the two Ooyamabikos in to his graveyard and then the third one appeared on the field, "And now his attack and defense points become equal to the attacking monster's original attack points", Ooyamabiko, Atk & Def: 0-1600/0-1600.
Sawatari then pointed at his shrine, "Not to mention that since I just summoned a Yousenjuu monster another Yousen counter lights up on the Shrine of Trials!" Then a fifth candle on the shrine lit up.
Yuya looked at Sawatari, "Then I guess I activate my Drumming Kong's special ability! When a monster on my field battles against opposing monster, that monster's attack points are increased by 600 until the end of the battle phase!"
Drumming Kong then jumped up in the air before the drums on his shoulders clanged a few times, Atk: 1600-2200. Sawatari gritted his teeth since he knew that this would happen. Drumming Kong then hit the drums on his chest and created sound waves that hit Ooyamabiko and destroyed him, Sawatari covered his face to shield it from the shockwaves, Sawatari LP: 1500-900.
Nico got a huge smile on his face as Drumming Kong landed on the mountain path again, "Amazing! Yuya Sakaki managed to avoid certain defeat and is now going on the attack and is inflicting damage to Sawatari!"
Yuya jumped off of Drumming Kong, "Now since the battle phase is over, Drumming Kong's special ability ends", Drumming Kong, Atk: 2200-1600.
Yuya then grabbed then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I activate this, the spell card Magical Thunder! Now by discarding a card from my hand I can destroy one card on the field".
Yuya grabbed the action card in his hand which was Miracle, "Now I discard the action card I picked up earlier in order to destroy Dizzying Wind of the Yousen Realm".
Yuya then placed Miracle in to his graveyard and then a lightning strike came down and struck Sawatari's trap card and destroyed it, causing him to grit his teeth in frustration.
Yuya then grabbed four other cards in his hand, "And next I end my turn by placing four cards face down".
Yuzu got a smile on her face, "That's good, now Yuya's cards won't be returned to the deck if they're returned to his hand from the field".
Sawatari glared at Yuya for a moment before he took a deep breath and then looked at the audience with a smile, "You all were disappointed that he didn't Pendulum Summon right? Well don't worry, I'm about to show you an elegant Pendulum Summoning right now". He then drew his next card and looked at it, "It's my turn now!" He looked at it and saw that it was Yousenjuu Kamanitachi.
Sawatari then looked at Yuya, "Now I activate the effect the effect of Shrine of Trials! Now I remove three Yousen counters in order to add Mayousenjuu Daibakaze to my hand once again!" The fire on three candles then got blown out and a card came out of Sawatari's deck and he revealed it to be Daibakaze.
Nico got a smile on his face, "Daibakaze is now back in Sawatari's hand! Is he about to summon Pendulum Summon it?"
Everyone in the audience got excited when they heard this and started chanting, "Pendulum, Pendulum, Pendulum, Pendulum!"
Sawatari made a pose while he held up his arm in the air, "That's it! Scream louder, cheer more and more, keep cheering for me!"
However he then looked at Yuya with a concerned expression on his face, However, I'm a bit concerned about those face down cards, I don't know if they have an effect that activates when they leave the field, and even if the odd for it is low, he could have drawn either Performapal Masquerade or Performapal Great Escape again. I doubt he drew both of them again, but still, it's too risky to go all out and Pendulum Summon Daibakaze since he will return to my hand at the end of the turn he was special summoned, and while he won't return to the deck this time, it's still risky.
Sawatari got a smirk on his face, "Here we go, I currently have a set scale of 3 and 5, which means I can summon level 4 monsters".
Hokuto got a shocked expression on his face, "Wait, he's not going to use Urenshinchuu's Pendulum ability to raise its Scale?" Masumi also looked at Sawatari shocked, "He's not going to summon Daibakaze?"
Sawatari held up his arm, "Pendulum Summon! Come forth, wind-slicing blades and wings". The portal appeared between the two Pendulum Zones and three beams came out of it, "Come forth, Yousenjuu Kamaitachi". Kamaitachi then appeared on the field Atk: 1600, "Kamanitachi", Kamanitachi then also appeared on the field, Atk: 1800.
Sawatari then held out his arm, "And next is the Pendulum monster Yousenjuu Taka!" Yousenjuu Taka then appeared on the field with a screeched, Atk: 1700.
Sawatari then held out his arm towards Taka, "Next I activate Yousenjuu Taka's special ability! When he's special summoned I can add a Yousenjuu monster from my deck to my hand, and I choose the Pendulum monster Yousenjuu Seiryuu". A card came out of his deck and he grabbed it and revealed it to be Seiryuu.
Sawatari then held up his arm, "And since this counts as one summoning, only one Yousen counter lights up on the Shrine of Trials". A candle then lit up on the shrine.
Sawatari then pointed at Drumming Kong, "And now it's time for the climax! I now activate Kamaitachi's special ability, so since I have another Yousenjuu monster I can return one face up card on your field to your hand, now disappear Drumming Kong!"
Kamaitachi swung his sickle towards Drumming Kong and sent a slash of wind towards him. However Yuya pressed the image of one of his face down cards, "Not so fast! I now activate a card you should recognize, the continuous trap card Performapal Masquerade".
Sawatari gritted his teeth, "You really drew one of them again?"
Yuya nodded his head with a smile, "That's right, now I can equip this card to one monster on my field, that monsters is now also treated as a Performapal monster and gains 500 extra attack points, also while it's equipped with this card it's unaffected by card effects".
Drumming Kong then jumped out of the way of the wind slash and it destroyed the mountain path behind him and Yuya, Atk: 1600-2100. Sawatari jumped on the spot frustrated, "Don't move out of the way like that".
Nico looked at the scene, "Yuya Sakaki managed to avoid losing Drumming Kong, however his only escape path has now been sealed off". Yuya looked behind him an looked at the rift that had been made in the path way.
Sawatari gritted his teeth, "However I still have my backup plan!" He grabbed a card in his hand, "I now sacrifice both Kamaitachi and Kamanitachi in order to summon Mayousenjuu Daibakaze in attack mode". Daibakaze then appeared on the field with a mighty roar, Atk: 3000. Sawatari held out his hand towards the shrine, "And his appearance lights up another Yousen counter on the Shrine of Trials!" Another candle then lit up.
Masumi had a confused expression on her face, "He summoned Daibakaze by sacrificing Kamaitachi and Kamanitachi instead of Pendulum Summon it?"
Sawatari then pointed at Yuya, "I now activate Daibakaze's ability to return up to two cards to the owner's hand. Also while I can't target your Drumming Kong thanks to Performapal Masquerade, I can target your other cards, however since getting rid of your trap card might held you since then we both get to draw two cards, I'm gonna leave it alone for now and just go for two of your three remaining face down cards".
A tornado came formed around Daibakaze's horn and he unleashed it towards Yuya's field and both Yuya and Drumming Kong shielded their faces from the powerful winds while two of Yuya's three face down cards got blown right back to his hand.
Sawatari narrowed his eyes when he saw the smile on Yuya's face, "Why are you smiling? You're in a pretty tough spot right now, you know that right?"
Yuya's smile grew larger, "Yes I know, however… the audience is excited!" Sawatari looked at him confused, "Our unpredictable duel has gotten the audience really hyped, I have found new possibilities, so I can't help that I'm enjoying this".
Sawatari looked at him for a moment before he closed his eyes while he chuckled, "I can't help that I'm enjoying it as well". Yuya looked at him shocked and Sawatari looked at him with a smirk, "I will be able to defeat you in front of such a large and excited crowd".
Yuya got a smile on his face, "I told you didn't I Sawatari? I won't let you end this so easily! This show has more to offer the audience after all".
Sawatari chuckled and pointed at Drumming Kong, "Now Daibakaze, attack his Drumming Kong". Daibakaze roared before he unleashed a tornado from his horn towards Drumming Kong.
Yuya held out his hand, "I activate Drumming Kong's special ability, when one of my monsters battles against an opposing monster, I can increase its attack points by 600 until the end of the battle phase". Drumming Kong hit the drums on his chest, Atk: 2100-2700. Drumming Kong then got hit by the tornado and got destroyed. Yuya shielded himself while he was being pushed towards the rift in the path way. He managed to stop right at edge, Yuya LP: 2200-1900. Yuya grabbed Drumming Kong's card. "The destroyed Drumming Kong is sent to the extra deck". He then placed it in to his extra deck.
Yuya looked at Sawatari, "And since the equipped monster has left the field, Performapal Masquerade is destroyed". Yuya's trap card then shattered and Yuya placed it in to his graveyard.
Sawatari then pointed at Yuya, "Alright Taka, attack his life points directly!" Yousenjuu Taka screeched before it flapped with its wings and sent wind slashes towards Yuya who jumped forward right before they hit the ground where he had been standing and sent him flying on the ground, Yuya LP: 1900-200.
Sawatari grabbed the second Dizzying Wind in his hand, "Next I end my turn by placing one card face down and end my turn, and now since it's the end phase, Yousenjuu Taka returns to my hand since it was special summoned".
Yousenjuu Taka then screeched before it got surrounded by storming winds and then vanished before Sawatari added its card back to his hand.
Yuya looked at Daibakaze who remained on the field, Sawatari got a smirk on his face, "I told you I had a backup plan, Daibakaze remains on the field if I tribute summon him".
Hokuto got a look of understanding on his face, "Now I understand, Daibakaze returns to the hand at the end of the turn when it was special summoned, so in order to avoid it he tribute summoned it so it would remain on the field in case Sakaki had a counter move ready".
Masumi nodded her head, "He made the right strategic move by doing so". Yaiba also nodded his head, "And he also seems to have pretty fun out there…"
Then all three of them got troubled expressions on their faces and said, "Even though he's Sawatari!"
Nico who was watching the intense duel in suspense snapped out of it and held up his mike, "Yuya Sakaki used his monster's ability to lower the damage when it got destroyed, however after receiving the direct attack from Yousenjuu Taka he's down to 200 life points".
The audience was looking at the duel with excited expressions on their faces, "Amazing, this duel is really intense". A boy in the audience said with a smile.
One of the boys from earlier had a really excited expression on his face, "Do you think Sakaki will use Pendulum Summoning this turn?" The boy next to him nodded his head with a smile, "He most likely will, he has six cards in his hand after all".
The two of them started chanting, "Pendulum, Pendulum, Pendulum!" And soon the entire audience was chanting it as well. Sawatari looked at the audience with a smile and closed his eyes, "Make your move, entertainment duelist". Yuya looked at Sawatari shocked.
Sawatari then held out his hand towards the audience, "You hear them right? All of them are chanting for it, everyone in the stadium is really excited right now because of our duel, and they want to see more from us".
Sawatari then pointed at Yuya, "Come on it's your move now, and if you call yourself an entertainer, you must do your best to excite them even more".
Yuya got a smile on his face, "Of course". He then held out his arms and the spotlights fell on him, "Ladies and Gentlemen! I'm sorry for the wait, now then, I'm down to my last 200 life points, which means that this turn will most likely be my last, so I will give you the best performance I can, now then, are you all ready for an Pendulum Summon?"
The audience at the same time shouted, "Yes we are!"
Yuya then placed his fingers on his deck, "Alright then let's do this, I draw!" He drew his next card and saw that he had just drawn his Performapal Trump Witch, "Alright, I got just the last piece I needed".
He then grabbed another card in his hand and revealed it with his Trump Witch, "Now, I use the Scale 1 Performapal Mimic Dragon and the Scale 4 Trump Witch in order to set the Pendulum Scale". He then 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 him and Mimic Dragon and Trump Witch appeared in them and the numbers 1 and 4 appeared under them.
Yuya then held up his hand towards Mimic Dragon, "And next I activate Mimic Dragon's Pendulum ability! If there is another card in my other Pendulum Zone then it'll increase its Scale, and since Trump Witch's Scale is 4, it's increased by 4". The number under Trump with them increased to 8.
Yuya got a smile on his face, "And that means that I now can summon monsters between level 2 and 7 at the same time!"
The audience cheered when they heard that before they began chanting again, "Pendulum, Pendulum, Pendulum!"
The large Pendulum appeared in the sky and swung between Mimic Dragon and Trump Witch, "Now swing, Pendulum of the soul, draw and arc of light across the ether, Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters!"
The portal then appeared between the two Pendulum Zones and three beams came out of it, "First return from the extra deck, Performapal Silver Claw". Silver Claw then appeared on the field and howled, Atk: 1800, "And next is your turn, so return Performapal Drumming Kong". Drumming Kong then reappeared on the field, Atk: 1600.
"And finally the main star, come forth with your heroic and dichromatic eyes, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Odd-Eyes then appeared on the field with a mighty roar, Atk: 2500.
Yuzu got a huge smile on her face when she saw Odd-Eyes, "He must have drawn Odd-Eyes earlier". The kids then cheered, "Go for it big bro Yuya".
Yuya then grabbed another card in his hand, "Next I activate this card from my hand, go Odd-Eyes Fusion".
Sawatari's eyes widened when he heard the name of the card, "Wait, did you say Odd-Eyes Fusion? Don't tell me…"
Yuya's smile grew bigger, "Yes, I'm about to Fusion Summon! And the two monsters I'm gonna fuse is Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Performapal Silver Claw". Odd-Eyes roared before he and Silver Claw got sucked into the vortex that appeared on the field.
"Now dragon with dual colored eyes, become one with the prideful silver wolf and give birth to a new power, I Fusion Summon! Come forth, level 8, ferocious dragon with luminous feral eyes, Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Beast-Eyes then appeared on the field with a mighty roar, Atk: 3000.
Masumi got a shocked expression when she saw Beast-Eyes, "No way! He has learned how to use Fusion Summoning as well?"
Yaiba also had a shocked expression on his face, "But, wouldn't that mean that he now can use both Fusion Summoning and Xyz Summoning?"
Hokuto gritted his teeth, "That guy, he seems to have gotten stronger since I dueled against him".
AT THE SAME TIME AT THE CONTROL ROOM,
Nakajima got a shocked expression on his face when he saw Yuya summon Beast-Eyes and the word Pendulum Fusion appeared on the monitor, "A Fusion Summon that used Pendulum monsters as Fusion materials?"
Reiji got a smile on his face, "Oh? You have mastered Fusion Summoning now as well? Looks like you've evolved quite a bit since we faced each other Yuya Sakaki".
AT THE SAME TIME AT THE STADIUM,
Yuya then pressed the image of his face down card and it got flipped face up, "And next I activate this, the trap card Pendulum Reborn! Now thanks to this card I can special summon either one face up Pendulum monster in my extra deck or a Pendulum monster in my graveyard".
Yuya held up his hand in the air, "Now return to my side, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon". Odd-Eyes then reappeared on the field, Atk: 2500.
Nico had an excited smile on his face, "W-what is this? Yuya Sakaki didn't just summon an evolved form of his ace monster, he also brought back his ace monster back from his extra deck".
Sawatari looked at Beast-Eyes with a shocked expression on his face before he got a smirk on his face, "Looks like you're just full of surprises Yuya, never expected that you would learn how to Fusion Summon as well. Now let's finish this!"
Yuya nodded his head, "Yeah, now Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, attack his Mayousenjuu Daibakaze now". Odd-Eyes ran towards Daibakaze, Sawatari looked at him, "So you attacked with him first huh?"
Yuya's smile just grew bigger, "Now Drumming Kong's special ability activates! Once per turn if one of my monsters battles against an opposing monster, it gains 600 attack points during the battle phase". Drumming Kong hit the drums on his chest and the sound waves hit Odd-Eyes, Atk: 2500-3100.
Yuya pointed at Daibakaze, "Alright Odd-Eyes, attack him with Spiral Strike Burst". Odd-Eyes charged up his attack and fired it towards Daibakaze and hit him in the chest, "And now Odd-Eyes's special ability activates! The battle damage is doubled!"
Sawatari held out his hand, "Not so fast, I now activate Yousenjuu Sarenshinchuu's Pendulum ability! I can destroy this card in order to negate Daibakaze's destruction!" Sarenshinchuu then shattered and the Pendulum Zone disappeared, Sawatari LP: 900-700.
Nico had an amazed expression on his face, "Amazing, Sawatari managed to save his ace monster by using Sarenshinchuu's Pendulum ability!"
Sawatari sighed relieved, Now if he wants to win he has to send his Beast-Eyes to attack Daibakaze which would destroy them both, then if he attacks with Drumming Kong I can discard Taka and pay 500 life points in order to negate the attack.
Yuya got a smile on his face, "Great move Sawatari, but I'm not done yet" He then jumped up on Beast-Eyes and grabbed a hold of his horns, "Now Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, attack Mayousenjuu Daibakaze!" Beast-Eyes roared and ran towards Daibakaze.
Sawatari had a smirk on his face since he had predicted that. However at that moment so grabbed Yuya a card in his hand, "Next I activate the spell card Big Return!"
Yuzu's eyes widened when she heard that, "Wait Big Return? Didn't he use it against you in your duel Gongenzaka?"
Gongenzaka got a smirk on his face, "Yes he did, it allows him to use a once per turn effect a second time during the same turn, and I'm pretty sure we all know which effect he's going to reuse".
Yuya held out his hand towards Drumming Kong, "With Big Return's effect, I can use Drumming Kong's special ability a second time this turn, which means that since Beast-Eyes declared an attack at your Daibakaze, I can now increase his attack points by 600". Drumming Kong hit the drums on his chest once again and the sound waves hit Beast-Eyes, Atk: 3000-3600.
Sawatari took a step backwards in shock, now Daibakaze would be the only one that would get destroyed and then he would only have 100 life points left, which means that he wouldn't be able to use Taka's special ability.
He looked around and saw two action cards on a piece of the roof of the collapsed temple, he ran over to Daibakaze and jumped up on its right paw before he launched him towards the roof, Yuya who saw this also jumped towards the roof while he looked at Beast-Eyes, "Now attack with Hell Dive Burst".
Beast-Eyes jumped up in the air and unleashed a stream of flames that took the shape of his head and roared towards Daibakaze. Sawatari and Yuya managed to grab an action card each right before Beast-Eyes attack hit Daibakaze in the chest and a massive explosion appeared.
The kids sat and waited in suspense, however once the smoke cleared they got shocked to see that Daibakaze was still on the field, "No way! How?"
Sawatari sighed, "Man I sure got lucky there, the card I picked up was the action card Miracle! With it I negated Daibakaze's destruction and cut the damage I took in half". Sawatari LP: 700-400.
Yuya looked at him with a smile, "I agree, you were pretty lucky, however you could have been even luckier if you had gotten this card". Yuya held up the card he had picked up and revealed it to be Evasion. Sawatari gritted his teeth when he realized he could've negated Beast-Eyes's attack if he had just picked it up instead.
Yuya looked at his field, I hoped that I could end this with Beast-Eyes, however it seems like I need to Fusion Summon Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon and then attack Daibakaze with him which means that both of them will get destroyed.
Yuya held up his arm, "Now…" However at that moment so glowed his Pendulum slightly and he gasped.
VISION,
Storming winds were all around Yuya and then in the middle of them he saw a creature with a red eye and a green eye that had four thin wings on its back. The creature looked at Yuya. Yuya also looked at it and a smile appeared on his face, "I understand, you want to fight right? Then I'll summon you right now".
END OF VISION,
Yuya looked at Sawatari, "It's time to finish this right here and now Sawatari". Sawatari looked at him confused while Yuya pointed at Trump Witch, "I activate Trump Witch's Pendulum ability! Once per turn during my main phase or my battle phase, I can target monsters on my field on my field in order to perform a Fusion Summon!"
Sawatari got a shocked expression on his face, "W-what? Another Fusion Summon, and doing it during your battle phase?"
Tatsuya got a confused expression on his face, "But the only other Fusion monster big bro Yuya has is Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, and in order to summon him he needs a spellcaster monster".
Yuzu looked at them, "Actually, Yuya has a third Fusion monster whose name is Odd-Eyes Darkflame Dragon".
The kids looked at her shocked, "Huh? He has a third one?" Gongenzaka, Sora, Yoko and Shuzo also looked at her shocked since they hadn't heard anything about this third Fusion dragon.
Yuzu nodded her head, "It's a Fusion-Pendulum monster that requires Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and another level 5 or higher dragon in order to summon, I believe that Yuya brought back Odd-Eyes in case he needed to summon Odd-Eyes Darkflame in order to win".
Yuya held out his arms, "And the monsters I'm gonna fuse are Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon… and Performapal Drumming Kong".
A yellow beam then came out of Trump Witch's staff and flew down in to the ground and a vortex appeared and Odd-Eyes and Drumming Kong got sucked into it, "Now dragon with dual colored eyes, become one with the chest pounding sage of the forest in order to unleash the raging winds, I Fusion Summon! Come forth, level 7, Dragon of the raging winds with dual colored eyes, Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon".
A green dragon with golden four wings on its back appeared on the field with a mighty roar. It also had golden lightning shaped blades alongside its neck and a large golden blade on each one of its knees and two blue orbs on its stomach, Atk: 2500.
Yuzu looked at this new form of Odd-Eyes with a shocked expression on her face, "No way… Did he just summon another new Fusion monster?" The others were too shocked to say anything.
Masumi also had a shocked on her face, "He Fusion Summoned not only once, but twice and in the same turn?"
Sawatari looked at Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon shocked for a moment before he got a smirk on his face, "I must admit that he looks pretty cool, however he's too weak to defeat Daibakaze".
Yuya got a smirk on his face, "We'll see about that, I activate his first special ability! When Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon is special summoned I can target one face up monster my opponent controls and return it to the opponent's hand, and of course the target for this effect will be your Mayousenjuu Daibakaze!"
Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon's wings then began to glow and he roared as an orb of concentrated winds formed in his mouth, he then fired it towards Daibakaze and once it hit him the orb transformed into a huge hurricane, Daibakaze struggled against the powerful winds surrounding him for a moment before he got pulled up in the air and then shattered.
Sawatari got a worried expression on his face as he returned Daibakaze to his hand since he now didn't have anything left to protect his life points since he couldn't use Taka's ability since his life points were lower than 500.
Yuya looked at Sawatari, "It's over Sawatari, after all, even if you would manage to get your hands on an action card, Odd-Eyes Vortex would be able to negate it since he can negate the activation of a spell, trap card or monster's special ability once per turn if I return a Pendulum monster from my extra deck to my deck and if he does then the card that had its effect negated is also destroyed". Sawatari got a worried expression on his face since it meant that he couldn't win now.
Yuya pointed at Sawatari, "Alright Odd-Eyes, attack his life points directly with Hurricane Stream". Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon then roared as his wings glowed again while a small tornado formed inside of his mouth, he then unleashed it towards Sawatari and once it hit him it grew in seize and became a hurricane and a screaming Sawatari flew up in it, Sawatari LP: 400-0.
Sawatari then felt how the hurricane disappeared and he began to fall through the air, however at that moment he felt something catch him. He looked up confused and saw that Odd-Eyes Vortex had caught him with his hands before the Fusion dragon flew down to the ground and sat down Sawatari on the ground carefully before he shattered as the action field disappeared.
Nico smiled, "It's over! The winner of this amazing duel between two Pendulum users is Yuya Sakaki!"
Yuzu, Gongenzaka and Sora then threw their right arms up in the air, "Alright, he did it!" All three of them shouted with excited smiles on their faces.
Yuya walked over to Sawatari and held out his right hand at him, "That was a really fun duel Sawatari!"
Sawatari closed his eyes with a frustrated expression on his face, "I hate to admit…" He then got a smirk on his face, "But I agree, it was a fun duel".
Then both of them heard how the audience erupted into cheers and clapped their hands for both for them. Sawatari looked at Yuya, "However, we are going to duel again, and next time I won't lose!"
Yuya looked at him with a smile, "I won't lose either". Then Yuya turned towards the audience and bowed while Sawatari waved his arms at them.
AT THE SAME TIME AT THE CONTROL CENTER,
Reiji turned towards Nakajima, "Retrieve Sawatari's Pendulum cards and immediately and have them analyzed and then begin mass producing them right away". Nakajima nodded his head, "Understood President".
So it was finally time for Yuya's first match in the Junior Youth Championship against Sawatari. Sawatari had received Pendulum cards that LDS had made in order to use and test them against Yuya. While Yuya had a hard time with Sawatari's strategy of returning his cards to his hand and deck, he managed to turn things around and finally win the duel by summoning his new Fusion monster Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon, what's going to happen next? Continue reading to find out and please review.
