Welcome back, everyone!
Thanks for all your reviews for the last chapters, and I'm really happy all of you liked it!
In response to mekyaku's review:
- Old decks like those will appear, but I'm not going to add Orichalcos and Earthbounds because they will complicate things too much.
In response to EternalKing's review:
- I know, but sometimes I can't help myself... I'm going to try to avoid this problem as much as possible.

Turn 25:
The Metropolis of Despair - Heartland
"Create five different decks?"
Were Isaac's thunderstruck words after my declaration. After I came to my senses, my body was back to normal and I had to explain everything that happened in my head.
"I can't just add all my Monsters in one deck, no?" I asked. "So I'll resort in making numerous decks! I'm going to have five decks based on Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, Pendulum and Ritual together, and a deck will all summoning methods!"
"And before all your Duels you're going to be like 'oh, wait a second I gotta swap out my deck'?" Serena rubbed her temples. "On top of that, you have to change your way of Dueling? Vince, just accept a new deck!"
"As much as severe and straight-laced Serena's words are, I have to agree with her." Isaac said. "You don't even have enough cards to build so many decks."
"Then make me new cards, no?" I stated as a matter of fact. "You were the ones to give me this deck to begin with, you can do that."
"Yes, but..." Isaac exhaled. "Vince, even if we do all of this to have you use the "Mythorror" deck, you will still have bloodlust and many more negative quirks."
"Then... invent some sort of drug to calm me down, I don't know."
"Vince, that's a...not bad idea, actually..." Isaac rubbed his chin.
"Give the poor kid his deck already." Ren, who appeared in the room, groaned. "He went through all the trouble to grasp his Monsters' control, now it's our time to help him."
"Very well." Isaac sighed. "However, it will take some hours to create the new cards, so no distracting me while I'm working."
"Make some new cards for Serena as well, while you're at it!" Ren quickly added.
Isaac adjusted his glasses, not saying anything. He walked off to work, seeming a little annoyed by the extra work Ren gave him.
"Don't worry about him." Ren loudly told, making sure Isaac heard as well. "He's just grumpy today. I'll talk with him later."
I'm pretty sure Isaac muttered something like 'Oh, I'll sure you latter...' but he said it with a very low tone, so I shrugged it off.
"Since you're getting new Monsters, let's train a little." Antinomy, who materialized in the room like Ren did before, said. "Maybe we can give you some tips about Synchro Summons and such."
"How come you guys appear so conveniently?" Serena asked.
"Dumb luck." Ren shrugged. "I came from Eve's room. You guys were lucky not being there. GOD was boasting so much about his new idea, The World or something, Eve was just nodding all the time while she was focused on matters in her head. When I departed, she didn't even notice."
"I checked up on the Lancers," Antinomy explained. "They're doing...not extraordinarily well. Roget was defeated, but he activated a wormhole and the Lancers split apart. Yuya, Gongenzaka, Sawatari, and Shun were sent to the Xyz Dimension, while Daphne, Yuu, and Yuzu to the Fusion Dimension."
"That's annoying..." Serena muttered. "At least Yuya and the others have Shun who can reason with the Resistance if their paths ever cross. Yuzu and the others are safe if they get to the Defector's headquarters."
"Defectors?" I questioned.
"People who decided to turn their backs on Academia and run away." Serena stated. "Rumors spread very quick in Academia, believe me. I think Yuzu and the others will quickly become friends with them."
"It's nice to hear not all Academia students are scumbags like the Obelisk Force and such..." I said.
"It shows there's still hope even in Academia, no matter how rotten it is." Ren turned to Serena. "No offense there."
"No problem." Serena shook her head. "Anyway, thank you for the help, but I'm not very interested in learning new summoning methods. Pendulum and Fusion are more than enough for me to defeat people."
"That's nice, but we don't really care," Antinomy sternly said. "You need as many weapons as you can if you want to defeat Academia and survive. Here are two sheets, one for each of you, with what you need to know."
"I don't like studying..." I pouted. "And I already know this kind of stuff."
"On these sheets, there are records of cards used by Obelisk Force and the other Lancers," Ren explained. "It's important for you to know your opponent's and comrade's cards as well. Vince, I suggest studying well because you can't make secret notes to use during Duels like you do with tests back in your world."
"H-How do you know about such things!" I shouted with a little blush.
"We have a God who can see everything through spacetime. Get that in your heads already." Antinomy sighed.
"Shame on you." Serena addressed me. "I never had to resort to such filthy methods."
"Talks the girl who in a test wrote 'You need two "Vision HERO" Monsters to Fusion Summon Vision HERO Trinity'." Ren shook his head in exasperation.
"O-Oi!" it was Serena's turn to blush. "In my defense, that test was very long and I was really tired of "HERO" related questions!"
Antinomy handed us two sheets, making us groan as we took them and started reading. Well, I'm studying Yu-Gi-Oh stuff, so it's alright. After an hour of doing this, Isaac returned.
"Vince, Serena, here's a list of the new Monsters I'm creating you for each one of you," he explained, handing us two tablets. "There are various combos you can perform written down as well. Learn them."
"How many pages do I have?" I asked.
"About fifteen and a half."
"Excuse me?" I blinked twice.
"No, wait..." Isaac scratched the back of his head. "They were nineteen and a half... either way, you have no other choice so off you go!"
I groaned loudly as I sat down on the floor and read all the new pages. After another couple of hours, I was finally able to insert every word into my head. I never thought studying Yu-Gi-Oh would take this long.
"You two finished at a good time," Isaac said, handing us two Duel Disks. "You will be using these from now on."
"How do you make these things so quickly!?" Serena asked confused.
"Thanks to GOD, we're able to upgrade our machines to high speed." Isaac adjusted his glasses as he spoke. "Vince, before you start a Duel, the disk's A.I. will ask you what deck you wish to use. Just click your choice on the screen and the deck will automatically swap out."
The Duel Disks were identical. They were similar to Eve's, having an oval-shaped main body with black and grey accents, a touchscreen on top of it, a Spell/Trap Zone slot adjacent to the holder's body, while the GY slot was in the disk's other side. Our energy blades have the same color as our last Duel Disk had.
"Also, Vince, here are some new clothes for you." Antinomy told, handing me a copy of my clothes. "Now that you don't have any more scales, your clothes won't be shred again."
"Where can I change?"
"Just do it here, no?" Serena shrugged.
"Serena, that's- are you nuts!?" I shouted with a blush. "I can't just undress before other people who are staring at me!"
"Why? It's not like you're going to rape us once you have nothing on." Serena said. "Yuzu stopped me from undressing back during the Maiami Championship and I have yet to understand why."
"This girl..." Ren stared at Serena. "Okay, everyone, turn around."
"D-Don't make it look like I'm the weird one here!" I yelled at Ren as I quickly put my new clothes on.
"Are you done yet?" Serena asked impatiently.
"Yes, yes, I'm done!"
"Vince!" Serena facepalmed. "You put the damn shirt on the contrary!"
"No, I didn't..." I muttered. "I can't see well, okay!"
"You can't see well?" Isaac blinked twice before raising two fingers. "Vince, how many fingers am I holding up?"
"Two."
"Wow..." Antinomy sweatdropped. "He...needs some glasses."
"Wait, how many fingers were you holding up!?" I asked.
"Three." Isaac stated. "Here, try my glasses on."
As I put on his glasses, I swear my vision got much clearer!
"Whoa, thanks!" I laughed.
"It seems your eyes have been also affected by the curse, and now you need glasses..." Isaac muttered. "Since that's out of the way, I'd like to have a word with you in private, Vince."
Isaac and I moved to a corner of the computer room. Isaac took hold of a pair of glasses placed on a keyboard, and he put them on.
"While I was making your decks, I stumbled into these cards." Isaac told.
"IkaImagine - Mythorror Tetramorph and a blank card?" I asked, staring at the two cards in my hand.
"That blank card was originally Demiurge's first form, Yaldaboath," Isaac explained. "His other forms vanished, only this one remained in its blank form. After I healed your body back to normal, I sealed the curse away into that card, which means if you ever awaken it... the curse will return."
"Yaldaboath... could return?"
"Of course not." Isaac shook his head. "Demiurge doesn't exist anymore, thus that card can become a new Monster. I'm only telling this so you look out if you ever decide to use that blank card. Tetramorph, on the other hand, will be the key to unlocking it."
"I understand..." I nodded whilst staring at the two cards.
"Good." Isaac said, addressing me and Serena. "I installed into your Duel Disks a Dimensional Mover which allows you to hop to the Resistance's H.Q. in the Xyz Dimension."
"Then let's go." Serena stretched out her arm. "I'm getting bored doing nothing here."
"Good luck, you two." Ren said. "And whatever you do, don't lose to Academia."
"Got it!" I grinned.
After that, Serena and I tapped our Duel Disks' screens and vanished in particles of light...
From a bright flash, Serena and I materialized in the Xyz Dimension. The sunset barely illuminated our path to a large staircase, the utterly destroyed Heartland behind us.
"The base is at outskirts of the city, huh..." Serena remarked. "No wonder Academia was never able to find it. They never walked this far."
"What if we run into somebody?" I asked her. "We tell the truth?"
"Of course," Serena nodded. "We are part of the Lancers. As Antinomy said, maybe Shun already arrived here and informed the Resistance about our group."
"True," I agreed. "Let's go then. I can't wait to see if characters from Zexal will appear!"
Serena rolled her eyes at my childishness and we began to walk up the stairs. The walk up to the top was very long, and the moment I set foot on the final step, I sighed loudly. The Resistance's base was a dojo made of wood with a vault in front of it.
"Finally..." I breathed out. "These stairs sure ruined my mood..."
"Will you stop whining so much?" Serena frowned, not bothered by the ten minutes of stairs at all. "Are you this unathletic back home as well?"
"Believe me... I'm worse." I said, taking a deep breath. "Okay, I'm fine now. We can go-"
"You won't get the chance, Academia lad dog."
A male person, the who spoke, jumped from the dojo's roof and landed between us and the base. He had blue eyes and long, blond hair with wing-shaped extensions that had an earring attached to it. The person wore white pants and a white, long-sleeved shirt underneath a gray vest with long gray gloves, and had a red scarf tied around his left arm.
"Y-Y-Y-You're..." my eyes widen.
"Mizael, the Resistance's hunter..." Serena whispered. "I only read about this guy in Academia's files... I never thought I'll ever meet him in person..."
"What's wrong? Getting cold feet?" Mizael taunted as armed his Duel Disk, a vanilla-colored triangular bodied disk with a small touchscreen. Upon activation, a curved indigo energy blade materialized. "I earned quite the status in Academia, it seems. Don't think you can escape only because you're scared."
"We aren't from Academia!" Serena pointed out. "We're part of the Lancers, people who want to end Academia. We're not your enemy."
"Lancers? What a dumb name." Mizael remarked. "I won't be stopped by such stupid lies. Coming here was a mistake on your parts. I'll be the last face you'll ever see."
"W-We're telling the truth!" I argued. "We even know Kurosaki Shun, who is your comrade."
"The birdbrain who left the Resistance?" Mizael's eyes suddenly sparkled with anger. "Anyway, I don't care about your excuses. Kurosaki is well known in Academia's files, so don't bother. Also... I won't forgive that girl from trying to blind us by making her face be like Ruri's!"
"I'm not trying to lower your guard by looking like Ruri," Serena explained. "I don't know the reason yet, but we share the same face, even if we aren't related."
"If you're done, I'd like to start." Mizael growled. "Both of you at the same time. My dragon will enjoy eating you two for dinner."
"Don't be reckless, Mizael."
A new voice said. Out of the dojo, a female with dark pink eyes and pale skin walked out. She had dark blue hair with light blue bangs and she wore a ring on her right little finger, a white jacket over a light pink shirt, black stockings, white skirt and shoes, and the left coattail of her jacket had a red piece of cloth hanging down from it.
"Rio!" Mizael's eyes widen a little. "Leave them to me! Get back to safety-"
"I can take care of myself." Rio coldly cut him off. "And it seems I have to take care of yourself as well. You can't just take two Academia elites on by yourself."
Mizael clicked his tongue in irritation. "Fine. We'll make this a Tag Duel, meaning our Life Points, fields, and Graveyards are shared."
"Even Kamishiro Rio is back...!" I almost squealed in happiness.
"Tch... it seems we have to defeat you and prove our point!" Serena frowned. "Let's go, Vince!"
"Wait, we're gonna take them on!?" I mumbled. Mizael and Rio...this will be a tough battle, even if it is a Tag Duel.
[Chose your deck.] a robotic voice said through my Duel Disk, displaying five decks on the screen.
"We have to prove them we aren't the enemy." I thought. "In that case, I chose my Xyz Deck!"
[Deck selected. Initiating Duel: Action Field on. Field Spell, Crossover.]
Several platforms appeared around us upon my disk's words.
"DUEL!" we all shouted in unison as Action Cards spread across the field.
Mizael/Rio: LP 4000
VS
Serena/Vince: LP 4000
"Action Field...?" Rio muttered, staring at Action Card falling to the ground. "What type of weapon has Academia invented now?"
"As I said, we aren't from Academia!" Serena shouted. "I'll start us off! Using the Scale 2 Moonlight Deer and the Scale 7 Moonlight Snow Leopard, I set my Pendulum Scales!"
Two pillars of blue light appeared beside Serena as her Monsters rose to their top.
"Pendulum you say?" Mizael's stoic expression didn't wager. "First Action Field and now this? How do you expect us to think you're associates when you use neverseen stuff like this?"
"These are the Lancers weapons." Serena stated. "This is how we fight! From my hand, I activate the Continous Spell Card Dancing Under the Moonlight! However, this card won't stay for long because I activate Deer's Pendulum Effect. By destroying a face-up "Moonlight" card I control, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower "Moonlight" Monster from my deck or hand. I destroy my Continous Spell to call forth Moonlight Sand Cat (ATK: 1200/LV: 4) from the deck!"
The monster which resembled Moonlight Blue Cat in attire, but looking younger, having pale brown skin and sand-colored fur, appeared with a cute 'meow'.
"I'm so happy to fight by your side, Serena-sama!" Sand Cat purred.
Serena was about to say something, but she stopped with her mouth open. She sighed before nodding.
"Good for you, I guess." she said, making Sand Cat squeal. "The effect of Dancing Under the Moonlight activates when it's destroyed! I can Special Summon a "Moonlight" Monster from my hand in defense mode. Appear, Moonlight Purple Butterfly (ATK: 1000/LV: 3)!"
The female with indigo-colored skin wearing a black and white bodysuit and having large butterfly wings appeared with a happy twirl.
"Thanks to Snow Leopard's Pendulum Effect, all "Moonlight" Monsters I control gain 400 Attack!" Serena stated. "I set one card face-down and end my turn!"
(Sand Cat: ATK 1200 = 1600; Purple Butterfly: ATK 1000 = 1400)
"They don't have only Monster Effects, but Pendulum Effects as well?" Rio remarked. "I see... Atashi no turn! Draw! From my hand, I normal summon Blizzard Falcon (Water/Winged-Beast/Effect/ATK: 1500/DEF: 1500/LV: 4)!"
The air around Rio dropped as a monster which resembled a flacon made of ice appeared.
"I activate the Magic Card Cold Whirlwind!" Rio stated as a sudden whirlwind of cold air enveloped the field. "With this card, every face-up Monster my opponent controls loses 300 Attack and Defence for every Monster they control!"
Serena's monsters grunted as their feet were frozen to the ground.
"N-No fair!" Sand Cat whined.
"It seems we're in a pinch..." Purple Butterfly commented with a shiver.
(Sand Cat: ATK 1600 = 1000; Purple Butterfly: ATK 1400 = 800)
"I see. Your Pendulum Monsters, when activated in their special Zones, aren't treated as Monsters." Rio noted. "With Cold Whirlwind's additional effect, a Water-Attribute Winged Beast-Type Monster I control gains Attack equal to the total change in Attack your Monsters underwent. Blizzard Falcon thus gains 1200 Attack!"
The falcon made of ice screeched as its eyes flashed yellow.
(Blizzard Falcon: ATK 1500 = 2700)
"Now I'm going to hurt you the same way Academia loves to do with us: Effect Damage!" Rio shouted. "When Blizzard Falcon's Attack becomes higher than its original value, you take damage equal to that difference! Take 1200 damage!"
A ghostly image of Blizzard Falcon appeared in front of the original one, diving towards Serena who leaped into a nearby platform and grabbed an Action Card.
"Acceleration!" she declared right when the ghost flew past her. "The effect damage is reduced to 0!"
"You picked up a card and used it?" Rio's eyes widen a little. "So an Action Field lets you do that, huh... in any case, I'm not done yet. Battle! Blizzard Falcon, attack Moonlight Purple Butterfly! Ice Dive!"
"I activate my Trap Card Instant Eclipse!" Serena declared. "If I control a "Moonlight" Monster, I can perform a Fusion Summon by using Monsters I control and in my hand as materials! I fuse my two Monsters!"
"A Fusion Summon during the Battle Phase!" I cheered.
As Sand Cat and Purple Butterfly were sucked into a multicolored vortex, Serena chanted.
"Cat that mews to attract its prey! Butterfly with violet poison! Spiral into the moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! The beautiful beast that dances in the moonlight, Moonlight Cat Dancer (ATK: 2400 = 2800/LV: 7)!"
Serena's signature Fusion Monster, the female monster clad in a cyan and black dress, long hair, wearing a mask and holding two daggers appeared.
"Fusion Summon..." Mizael growled. "You dare ask us to believe you're our comrades, but you use such a summoning method? Don't annoy me!"
"We want to show you even Fusion users can be your allies!" Serena said. "Thanks to Snow Leopard's Pendulum Effect, Cat Dancer's Attack stands at 2800 which is more than Blizzard Flacon's 2700!"
"So it would seem," Rio calmly said. "I set two cards face-down and end my turn! At this moment, Cold Whirlwind's effect ends."
(Blizzard Falcon: ATK 2700 = 1500)
"Well done, Rio." Mizael abruptly commented.
"Thank you." his partner smiled.
"Eh?" I blinked twice. "What are they talking about?"
"She used me..." Serena realized and gritted her teeth. "This turn... she used it to briefly understand how the Action Field and Pendulum Cards work. Damn it..."
"Whoa, that's cool!"
"Academia praising the enemy?" Rio huffed. "I never thought I'd see the day. However, I'm not the type of person to show sympathy to those who laud me."
"That's how it should be." I smiled and adjusted my new glasses. "I'm up next! Draw! From my hand, I normal summon Mythorror Korp (Dark/Fiend/Effect/ATK: 1000/DEF: 1000/LV: 3)!"
An anthropomorphic raven wearing a tore cloak, having blood-stained bandages over its eyes, having metallic claws attached to its knuckles, knees, and wings, appeared.
"By targeting Korp, I activate the Spell Card Daunting Nightmare!" I stated. "Through its effect, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower "Mythorror" Monster from my deck with a different name than the targeted Monster. Come forth, Mythorror Sombra (ATK: 600/LV: 4/SC: 6)!"
The monster with a body consisting of a white dusty cloak floating in the air, two hungry red eyes burning under it, a dragon tail and a single dragon wing sprouted from its back, appeared.
"I activate Korp's effect!" I declared. "Twice per turn, I can target one "Mythorror" Monster I control and raise or decrease its Level by one! I target Korp both times and raise its Level by a total of two!"
(Korp: LV 3 = 5)
"Then, I activate Sombra's effect by targeting Korp!" I smirked. "Sombra's Level becomes equal to the targeted Monster's Level!"
(Sombra: LV 4 = 5)
"He gathered two Level 5 Monsters?" Serena asked. "That's new. He was never able to do that with his old deck."
"We aren't the enemy. I want to show this to you through Dueling!" I told my opponents. "That's why I'm going to respond with the same kind of firepower you have! Using my now Level 5 Korp and Sombra, I build my Overlay Network!"
A swirling galaxy portal opened in front of me as my two Monsters got sucked into it.
"The demon which grants wishes to man, descend onto this battlefield!" I chanted. "Crush all those hopes you helped them build! Xyz Summon! Appear, Rank 5! Mythorror God Forneus (Dark/Fiend/Xyz/Effect/ATK: 2600/DEF: 2000/RK: 5)!"
A large monster with a long, serpentine body, four muscular arms, and a head of a dragon with no eyes and two mouths, emerged from the portal with a roar.
"This time it's an Xyz Summon?" Mizael frowned, staring at our field. "Fusion and Xyz are two different things. They will never work together!"
"We'll see! When Sombra is used as Xyz Material, that Xyz Monster gains the effect to avoid destruction my a card effect once each turn." I stated. "Then, by detaching an Overlay Unit from Forneus, I activate his effect, copying Blizzard Falcon's effect until the end of this turn! Mesmerizing Plague!"
One of Forneus's Overlay Units were eaten by its upper mouth. At the same time, its lower mouth released a miasma of darkness at Blizzard Falcon, who lost its colors once the mist touched it.
I jumped onto different platforms until picking up an Action Card myself.
"Powerize!" I shouted. "This will increase my Monster's Attack by 1000! And since it's current Attack is higher than its original Attack, you take damage equal to that difference, Rio-san!"
(Forneus: ATK 2600 = 3600)
"Action Cards can be used for both defense and offense?" Rio muttered. "I activate the effect of Guard Penguin (Water/Winged-Beast/Effect/ATK: 0/DEF: 1200/LV: 4) in my hand! I Special Summon it to my field in attack mode and reduce the damage to 0!"
Forneus unleashed beams of darkness from its hands, aiming at Rio. Before they could connect with their target, a blue penguin covered in a dress-shaped armor appeared, protecting its user.
"In that case, let's Battle!" I pointed forward. "Forneus, attack her Guard Penguin!"
"Since it has 0 Attack, they'll take huge damage from this attack!" Serena smiled. "Since we also share fields, Vince can use Cat Dancer to attack Blizzard Falcon and end this in a one-turn-kill!"
"It won't be that easy. Trap Card open: Brisk Whiteout!" Rio abruptly stated. "By using Water-Attribute Monsters I control as material, I perform an Xyz Summon! Level 4 Blizzard Falcon and Guard Penguin, Overlay!"
"Like I did during her turn, she's summoning during the Battle Phase?" Serena clicked her tongue.
As Rio's monsters turned into beams of blue light and entered the portal, a blizzard shot out the galaxy portal and enveloped the whole field.
"Piercing the hearts of countless warriors with cold ice, the beast of rebellion that flies in the sky descends onto this battlefield! Xyz Summon! Come forth, Rank 4! The Sub-Zero Bird Beast - Osprine (Water/Winged-Beast/Xyz/Effect/ATK: 2400/DEF: 1800/RK: 4)!"
The blizzard dissolved, leaving only Rio's new monster behind. Similar to the Xyz Monster she used in Zexal, The Sub-Zero Bird Beast - Sylphine, this new monster also had its attire made of dark-blue ice, but its wings were actually made of feather-shaped ice. Its skin was snow-white, its eyes were yellow like an eagle's, and its head was covered by an eagle-motif helmet.
"The Sub-Zero Bird Beast - Osprine's effect activates when Xyz Summoned!" Rio declared. "I target one face-up Monster on the field and negate its effects along with sealing it from attacking! I choose Forneus! Ice Cage!"
Blue-colored electricity shot out from Osprine's wings, striking Forneus and covering its body in ice.
"I won't let you!" I shouted. "Since a "Mythorror" Xyz Monster is targeted by an opponent's attack or effect, I can activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Rank-Down-Magic Horrific Fall to Rank Down Forneus by one or two Ranks!"
"A Rank-Down you say!?" Rio's eyes widen.
As the galaxy portal appeared once again, Forneus turned into a beam of darkness and was sucked into it.
"With her darkness, even the bravest warriors throw themselves to the ground! Learn pain that's beyond despair!" I chanted. "A reminder of the Hell that awaits! Xyz Summon! The Rank 3, Mythorror God's Servant Agrat bat Mahlat (Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/Xyz/Effect/ATK: 1900/DEF: 2100/RK: 3/SC: 1)!"
A female monster wearing a similar attire Moonlight Cat Dancer but colored pink and green, holding an obsidian sword, having two bat-like wings attached to its back, one colored green while the other pink, a crown with miniature wings, long pink hair, and having dual-colored eyes, green and pink, appeared with a malicious giggle.
"Academia has access to our advanced summoning method?" Mizael gritted his teeth.
"We are not from Academia! Man, why are characters from this anime so hard to befriend...?" I wondered in a low tone. "Agrat bat Mahlat gains 200 Attack for every Overlay Unit attached to her. There are currently two such cards attached to her, so she gains 400 Attack!"
(Agrat bat Mahlat: ATK 1900 = 2300)
"However, your Monster is 100 points far from reaching Osprine's Attack." Rio pointed out.
"I know that." I smiled. "After Agrat bat Mahlat attacks an opponent's Monster, I can attach it to my Monster as an Overlay Unit! And by detaching all Overlay Units from Agrat bat Mahlat, she can avoid destruction!"
"What did you say!? It turns the enemy into an Overlay Unit!?" Rio gasped.
"Battle!" I shouted. "Agrat bat Mahlat, do as you please!"
"I thought you'd never ask!" Agrat bat Mahlat grinned as she leaped towards Osprine.
"I activate the effect of Particle Dragon - Graviton (Light/Dragon/Effect/ATK: 0/DEF: 2000/LV: 4) in my hand!" Mizael abruptly cried out. "When an Xyz Monster is attacked, by discarding this card, the attack is negated!"
The ghostly image of Mizael's dragon appeared on the field, accompanied by a storm of electricity. It was a bipedal dragon with a bulky body, covered in black scales and it had a large globe instead of a chest. The globe was glowing brightly with yellow electricity and had small balls of lights bouncing within it.
The dragon roared and Agrat bat Mahlat was suddenly pulled towards the ground by an invisible force field, stopping her attack.
"Thanks to Graviton's additional effect," Mizael explained as a card ejected from his deck and he put it into his hand. "I can add a different "Particle Dragon" Monster from my deck to my hand. Attacks like those don't faze me, lap dog."
I gritted my teeth. "In that case, Cat Dancer will finish the job Agrat bat Mahlat started!"
"Due to Brisk Whiteout's additional effect..." Rio said as Cat Dancer kicked Osprine in the chest, sending both it and Rio skidding back. "The Monster summoned by its effect cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects this turn, so I only take the damage."
Mizael/Rio: LP 4000 - 400 = 3600
"I was only able to deal 400 damage this turn... I set one card face-down and pass it over to you!"
"Watashi no turn!" Mizael declared. "Draw! I normal summon Particle Dragon - Proton (Light/Dragon/Effect/ATK: 1800/DEF: 200/LV: 4)!"
Electricity crackled around the field once again as a new bipedal dragon materialized. This was had black scales like Graviton and a globe instead of a chest, however, red electricity and balls glowed within its globe.
"Now that I control one "Particle Dragon" Monster, I can activate the Spell Card Particle Attraction from my hand!" Mizael stated. "Thanks to its effect, I can call forth a Level 4 or lower Dragon Monster from my deck! Appear, Particle Dragon - Neutron (Dark/Dragon/Effect/ATK: 200/DEF: 1800/LV: 4)!"
A bipedal dragon similar to Graviton and Proton, but covered in white scales and a dull grey globe instead of a chest, not glowing at all, appeared next.
"I activate the effects of my two dragons." Mizael told. "Since I control both Proton and Neutron, their Levels increase from 4 to 8."
(Proton: LV 4 = 8; Neutron: LV 4 = 8)
"Two Level 8 dragons..." I gulped. "His ace is coming..."
"Level 8 Proton and Neutron, Overlay!" Mizael shouted as his dragons turned into beams of light and entered a galaxy portal. "The particles that dwell inside my very soul, unite and roar throughout the entire universe! Xyz Summon! Manifest yourself, Rank 8! Galaxy-Eyes Prime Tachyon Dragon (Light/Dragon/Xyz/Effect/ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500/RK: 8)!"
Unlike its Zexal's counterpart, Number 107, this Tachyon Dragon had a rhombus-shaped sealed form. The rhombus opened and took the form of Mizael's dragon which was similar to Number 107 but with less armor, wings entirely made of purple light, one tail swishing from its back, and several orbs of different colored lights were attached to parts of the dragon's body.
Prime Tachyon Dragon roared once it fully transformed, breaking apart the ground around it.
"What's up with this Monster..." Serena flinched. "I can sense...various negative emotions coming from that dragon... does the ability to hear Duel Spirits allow me to feel even the emotions of my opponent's Monsters?"
"I can also sense it." I confirmed Serena's words. "Your ability has developed a lot."
"Are you done saying your goodbyes?" Mizael interrupted us. "If so, be ready to taste defeat by the fangs of a mighty dragon like my Galaxy-Eyes! By detaching an Overlay Unit from Prime Tachyon, all face-up cards my opponent controls have their effects negated and any affected Monster's Attack and Defence becomes their original value! Tachyon Quintessence!"
Mizael's dragon transformed back into its sealed form, unleashing rainbow colored energy from its orbs which enveloped the entire field. All of our cards lost their colors and became powerless shells.
(Agrat bat Mahlat: ATK 2300 = 1900; Cat Dancer: ATK 2800 = 2400)
"With this, even your Pendulum Cards have been rent useless," Mizael grinned. "Battle! Prime Tachyon, teach them a lesson in strength! Attack Agrat bat Mahlat! Tachyon Spiral of Annihilation!"
Returning to its dragon form, Prime Tachyon unleashed a massive beam of energy from its mouth which struck Agrat bat Mahlat and destroyed it with ease. Before the damage could reach me, I picked up an Action Card.
"Damage Banish!" I shouted. "The battle damage I would take becomes 0!"
"Heh, you fell right into my trap!" Mizael's grin widen. "During the Battle Phase of the turn I activated Tachyon Quintessence, if a card or effect is activated, Prime Tachyon gains 1000 Attack and can attack an additional time!"
"WHAT!?"
(Tachyon: ATK 3000 = 4000)
"If we don't protect ourselves, we take huge damage, but if we do, we take huge damage as well!?" Serena's eyes widen.
"This is Prime Tachyon's true terror," Rio commented. "It's able to go back in time and choose a future that benefits it."
"Now, slip through the time-space continuum, and destroy your enemy!" Mizael shouted. "Galaxy-Eyes Prime Tachyon Dragon attacks Moonlight Cat Dancer! Tachyon Spiral of Annihilation!"
Unleashing another wave of destruction, Prime Tachyon took down Serena's Fusion Monster as well.
Serena/Vince: LP 4000 - 1600 = 2400
"I set three cards face-down and end my turn!" Mizael concluded. "Had enough, Academia lap dogs? This Prime Tachyon is more than enough to dig your graves."
"Don't underestimate me!" Serena shouted. "Watashi no turn! Draw!"
As she looked at her new card, Serena nodded to herself. "Good. Since we''re sharing fields, Rio will be able to use Prime Tachyon's effect on her turn. I have to get rid of that dragon before it finishes us. I activate the Spell Card Treasure Cards of the Moonlit Night, whose effect allows me to draw two cards since there's a "Moonlight" Fusion Monster in my Graveyard. Moreover, by destroying my set Pendulum Scale, I draw two more cards!"
"By revealing Moonlight Fusion from my hand, I can activate the effect of Sand Cat in my Graveyard!" Serena stated. "I Special Summon her from my Graveyard at the cost of banishing her the next time she leaves the field! Appear!"
Sand Cat backflipped out a portal which opened on the ground in front of Serena.
"Then, I activate the Spell Card Moonlight Fusion!" Serena shouted. "Thanks to this card, I perform a Fusion Summon a "Moonlight" Monster by using Monsters I control or in my hand. However, if I control no Fusion Monsters when I activate this card, I can banish one "Moonlight" Fusion Monster from my Graveyard and use it as a material! I fuse Sand Cat and Cat Dancer from my Graveyard!"
As Sand Cat and Purple Butterfly were sucked into a multicolored vortex, Serena chanted.
"The beautiful beast dancing in the moonlight! Cat that mews to attract its prey! Swarm in the vortex of moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! Elegant beast dancing in the moonlit wilderness, Moonlight Panther Dancer (Dark/Beast-Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK: 2800/DEF: 2500/LV: 8)!"
The evolved form of Serena's signature Fusion Monster, the female monster with tan skin clad in a blue and pink dress, short hair that shadowed its eyes, and feline body parts emerged from the portal.
"Thanks to Sand Cat, since she was used as Fusion Material, Panther Dancer gains 1000 Attack until the End Phase," Serena explained as her Monster's ATK rose to 3800. "Next, since I control a Level 5 or higher "Moonlight" Monster, I can Special Summon Moonlight Chameleon (DEF: 2100/LV: 6) from my hand!"
The female monster wearing a tight emerald-colored bodysuit with different colored accents, having some scales across its exposed body parts, and wearing a crescent-shaped moon mask appeared.
"When Chameleon is summoned, I can Special Summon one "Moonlight" Monster from my deck!" Serena stated. "Appear, Moonlight Tiger (DEF: 800/LV: 3/SC: 5)!"
The female monster wearing a yellow and black colored bodysuit, reminiscent of a tiger's fur, appeared.
"When Tiger is summoned, I can return a "Fusion" Spell Card from my Graveyard to my hand." Serena stated. "I return Moonlight Fusion and activate it once again, fusing Chameleon and Tiger!"
As her two monsters were sucked into a multicolored vortex, Serena chanted again.
"Color-changing beast that lurks under the moonlight! The fierce yellow furred tiger! Spiral into the moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! Come to me! The mysterious sorceress who protects the moon with her spells, Moonlight Cat Necromancer (Dark/Beast-Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK: 200/DEF: 2400/LV: 7) in defense mode!"
A Monster resembling Moonlight Cat Dancer, but wearing dark-blue colored robes decorated with golden armor symbols, having short pink hair, and tan-skin, appeared.
"Moonlight Panther Dancer can attack all Monsters my opponent controls twice each and they're not destroyed by the first battle. In other words, you take double the damage!" Serena pointed forward. "Go, Panther Dancer! Attack Osprine! At this moment, when a fellow "Moonlight" Monster attacks, the effect of Cat Necromancer makes that comrade unaffected by the opponent's card effects!"
Three crimson claws emerged from Panther Dancer's knuckles (similar to Wolverine for some reason) and it clawed Osprine, causing the female monster to fall back in pain.
Mizael/Rio: LP 3600 - 1400 = 2200
"Again! Do it, Panther Dancer!" Serena shouted. "Destroy Osprine! Vicious Claw!"
"Continous Trap Card open!" Mizael abruptly stated. "Overlay Escutcheon! When an Xyz Monster under my control would be destroyed, I can detach one of its Overlay Units instead! After the third time I used this effect, Overlay Escutcheon will be destroyed."
"Trap Card activated!" Rio added. "Damage Sublimation! I negate one instance of battle damage involving a Water-Attribute Monster to 0! Also, since we're sharing fields, I can use Mizael's Overlay Escutcheon to save Osprine by detaching one of its Overlay Units!"
Panther Dancer leaped into the air, landing graciously behind Osprine. Panther Dancer swung its claws at Osprine's back, but the Xyz Monster was ready this time, and used its wings to deflect the attack.
(Osprine: OVU 2 = 1)
"I'm done yet!" Serena pointed out. "Battle! Panther Dancer will attack Prime Tachyon next!"
Turning its attention to the enemy dragon, Panther Dancer swung its claws at Tachyon Dragon, making the dragon roar in pain.
"Tachyon!" Mizael gritted his teeth as he and Rio were sent skidding back by the shockwaves.
Mizael/Rio: LP 2200 - 800 = 1400
"Take this!" Serena cried out. "Vicious Claw!"
"Trap Card open!" Mizael interrupted again. "Dragon's Cure! When I have 1500 or less Life Points and I'm about to take battle or effect damage, Dragon's Cure allows me to target one Dragon I control to gain Life Points equal to its Attack! I choose my Tachyon! Moreover, I use Tachyon's last Overlay Unit to activate Overlay Escutcheon!"
Tachyon Dragon's wings glowed with a green light which enveloped Mizael and Rio.
Mizael/Rio: LP 1400 + 3000 = 4400
Seconds later, the claws of Panther Dancer slashed Tachyon Dragon's chest, but the dragon wasn't destroyed.
Mizael/Rio: LP 4400 - 800 = 3600
"Their Life Points are back at 3600!?" Serena gritted her teeth. "I set one card face-down... and end my turn. Panther Dancer's Attack returns to normal."
(Panther Dancer: ATK 3800 = 2800)
"Don't worry, Serena!" I addressed my Tag partner. "You were able to force our opponents to use their face-downs and Tachyon's Overlay Units! This means they can't use Tachyon Quintessence anymore."
"Tachyon Quintessence isn't the only thing you should be worrying about." Rio spoke up with a sly smile. "Atashi no turn! Draw! By detaching an Overlay Unit from Osprine, I activate its effect! Once per turn, I can cut in half the Attack of a Monster on the field and negate its effects! I choose Panther Dancer!"
"I activate Cat Necromancer's other effect!" Serena stated. "By tributing her, I negate the activation of a card or effect that would affect a "Moonlight" Monster I control and draw one card!"
"In that case, I activate the Magic Card Zero Blade!" Rio said. "I reduce your Panther Dancer's Attack by 1000 (ATK: 2800 = 1800) and allow Osprine to attack twice during this turn's Battle Phase! Battle! Osprine, attack Panther Dancer! Icicle Storm!"
"I activate my Moonlight Barrier Trap Card!" Serena declared. "This will protect Panther Dancer from destruction and halve the damage I would take!"
A storm of feathers ran from Osprine's wings, hitting all of us.
Serena/Vince: LP 2400 - 600 = 1800
"Second Battle!" Rio pointed forward. "Osprine, attack Panther Dancer again! Icicle Storm!"
With another storm of ice shard, Panther Dancer was finally taken down.
Serena/Vince: LP 1800 - 600 = 1200
"It's over for you, Academia! Final Battle!" Rio shouted. "Galaxy-Eyes Prime Tachyon Dragon attacks you directly!"
"When the opponent declares an attack, I can activate the Trap Card Xyz Save!" I stated. "I Special Summon Mythorror God Forneus from my Graveyard and have you attack him instead of us!"
A portal opened in front of me and Serena before Tachyon Dragon's attack could hit us, Forneus emerging from its and taking the hit.
"Thanks, Forneus!" I thanked my monster before it vanished. "Also, when Forneus is destroyed, I can return a "Mythorror" Monster from my Graveyard or Banish Zone to my hand. I choose Sombra from my Graveyard."
"I set one card face-down and end my turn." Rio concluded.
"Warewa no turn!" I announced. "Draw!"
As I looked at the drawn card, a strange sensation spread over my body. At the same time, a card from Extra Deck started faintly glowing.
"Yamatochi?" I whispered, staring at the Xyz form of Yamatochi. "What's wrong?"
"I want to battle that dragon..." the Duel Spirit explained. "From the moment it was summoned, I can't calm down."
Tachyon Dragon roared from the other side of the field upon those words.
"I think that dragon wants to do the same. It's challenging me to battle...and I can't help but accept."
"Gotcha." I nodded. "Summoning you in this situation could help us a lot anyway."
"Thank you, Master Vince."
"Don't need to be so formal." I chuckled. "Since the only one to control Monsters is my opponent, I can Special Summon Mythorror God Astaroth (Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/Effect/ATK: 2400/DEF: 100/LV: 8/SC: 1) from my hand!"
A male humanoid monster with grey skin, elfish ears, wearing a black tuxedo, two large bat-wings, a tail, horns sprouting from its head, and long hair appeared.
"When Astaroth is summoned this way, he can call for a friend to join the battlefield from my hand or Graveyard!" I explained. "I summon Sombra (ATK: 600/LV: 4) from my hand! Then, I activate Sombra's effect to make its Level become 8 like Astaroth's! Using my now Level 8 Sombra and Astaroth, I build my Overlay Network!"
A swirling galaxy portal opened in front of me as my two Monsters got sucked into it.
"Mighty dragon of ancient times, revive here and now! Let's show everyone our combined powers and feelings! Become my path towards victory! Xyz Summon! Manifest, Rank 8, Mythorror God Yamatochi "Kettō" (Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/Xyz/Effect/ATK: 3000/DEF: 2000/RK: 8/SC: 1)!"
Appearing with a centaur-theme was the Xyz version of Yamatochi. Its human skin turned pitch-black, and from its waist down, its body was a dragon's with sharp talons and a long tail. It wore crimson armor, a mask with four eyes over its head which left its mouth exposed, two wings were attached to its waist, and it held a spear emitting a black mist.
As my dragon fully emerged from the portal, Tachyon Dragon roared once again, and this time, it was answered by Yamatochi's own.
"Why are you so restless?" Mizael asked his dragon. "Is it that other dragon... you want to fight it?"
Tachyon roared in confirmation, prompting its user to chuckle.
"I see. Oi," Mizael addressed me. "Tachyon seems eager to fight that dragon of yours. I hope you won't back down, or my Tachyon won't hold back in chomping your head off."
"Yamatochi could agree." I smiled as my dragon also roared. "Let's see which of our dragons is the strongest, Mizael!"
"Is that a challenge?" the youth smiled himself. "In that case, Tachyon and I accept!"
"I activate Yamatochi's effect!" I stated. "By detaching an Overlay Unit, my dragon can attack Monsters twice during this turn's Battle Phase! Go! Battle! Mythorror God Yamatochi "Kettō" attacks Galaxy-Eyes Prime Tachyon Dragon! Hollow Stream of Death!"
"Strike back!" Mizael ordered. "Tachyon Spiral of Annihilation!"
As our two Monsters unleashed their respective attacks-!
"Trap Card activate! Sub-Zero Ice Prison!" Rio cried out. "If I control a Water Winged-Beast Xyz Monster when the opponent declares an attack, this Trap will cut in half your Monster's Attack and negate its effects!"
A torrent of snow and cold air erupted from the Trap Card, enveloping Yamatochi and caused the two dragons' attacks to vanish.
"Rio! Don't interfere!" Mizael said. "I got this!"
"But-"
"Action Spell Invisibility!" Serena cut them off. "This turn, Yamatochi is unaffected by other card effects!"
"Good assist!" I gave her a thumbs up. "Continue to fight, Yamatochi!"
Yet again, our two dragons clashed. They clawed and tackled each other, even fired their beams of energy from their mouths. One beam almost hit the Resistance base, but luckily, Opsine was there to deflect the beam using its wings.
"Yamatochi's effect!" I stated. "Once each turn, he can't be destroyed by battle!"
"I activate my Quick-Play Spell Card Instant Overlay!" Mizael shouted. "This card will become Tachyon's Overlay Unit! Then, by detaching it, I activate Overlay Escutcheon's effect for the last time to protect my dragon!"
Our dragons head-butted, throwing each other back.
Thanks to my ability, I was able to feel all of Yamatochi's emotions. "He badly wants to surpass Tachyon...but he's having...fun?" I smiled. "The Mythorrors might want destruction, but that doesn't mean they can't have fun too."
"Wha's your name, Academia lap dog?"
"Vince. It's Sakushi Vince." I answered Mizael's question.
"I'll make sure to remember that name." my opponent told. "The person who provided a challenge to me and Tachyon, you're worthy of the name of Dragon Tamer. However, the true Dragon tamer around here is me! And I'll make sure you-!"
"Mizael! Enough!"
Rio suddenly snapped, making me and Serena blink.
"You almost damaged the base!" Rio exploded. "I know you have this weird attitude of wanting to defeat every person who uses a Dragon because you think they're a better Dragon user than you, but be more careful!"
"What do you mean 'weird'!? It's not weird!" Mizael argued. "It's normal for me and my dragon to surpass every other dragon and their user there is! It's all about pride! And it's not my fault if the base gets damage! Tachyon is the one who's battling!"
"Then tell him to calm down!" Rio shouted back.
Tachyon let out a snort at those words, clearly not intimidated by Rio. The girl quickly shot a cold glare at the dragon's direction, causing it to lower its head a little.
"Hey! Don't glare at Tachyon!" Mizael said. "I'm the only one who's allowed to scold him!"
"Then do it already!" Rio puffed her cheeks in annoyance.
"You two really didn't change, huh?"
We all turned around as a new voice spoke. I didn't notice, but the sun was gone from a long time, the night overtook the city. At the top of the stairs stood our Lancer friends, Yuya, Gongenzaka, Sawatari, and Shun, accompanied by a youth I never saw before.
"If it isn't Mister birdbrain!" Mizael snorted.
"Mizael, be nice to him," Rio told as she ran to Shun.
"It's like it was tomorrow when-"
"WHEN YOU LEFT US!"
SLAP
Rio cut Shun off, slapping him over the cheek with such force he almost fell off his feet.
"AND YUTO!"
SLAP
It seems Rio was very angry, so angry she mistook Yuya for Yuto and slapped him as well.
"OW!" Yuya whined as he grabbed his hurt cheek. "I'm not Yuto!"
"Who are they!?" the unknown youth exclaimed, pointing at me and Serena. "Academia!?"
"No, they're my comrades..." Shun sighed.
"You were telling the truth..." Mizael frowned. "In that case, Rio and I are sorry for not believing you."
"Don't mention it," I waved a hand. "After what happened with Academia and all, it's understandable."
"I'm kind of happy, too." Mizael said. "I won't have to card you. Such a good Dragon tamer like you carded would be a total waste."
"That's...good, I guess. Thanks?" I chuckled.
"We have to finish the Duel!" Serena spoke up.
"Let's call it a draw for today." Rio told. "That's the least we can do for not believing you."
"Let's go inside." the youth spoke up. "I don't like being outside more than needed."
We all nodded and walking into the Resistance base...
"We'll have to call it a draw as well." Yamatochi told Tachyon from their card forms.
"You got lucky this time." Tachyon glowed. "Next time, you won't escape."
"Right back at you."
At the Fusion Dimension...
Inside Academia's laboratory, Philius stood in front of a table. A small insect-like creature colored red and having green mandibles was tied to the table, and it was screeching at the top of its lungs.
"Shut it."
Philius smacked a knife on one of the insect's legs, causing it to cry in pain. However, it seemed like it understood the human's words and it silenced down. This caused Philius to smirk.
"Fascinating! Fascinating indeed!"
The youth frowned as the loud voice of the Doktor rang in the lab.
"Thanks to the new lab rat you brought me, I was finally able to complete my biggest project!" the Doktor laughed. "Parasite Fusioner! Thanks to this little bug, I'll be able to create even more Monsters to use! The Professor will be deeply impressed!"
"Good for you, I guess." Philius shrugged. "However, I want to take this Parasite Fusioner one step further, if you don't mind."
"Noroi Philius, what are your true objectives here at Academia?" the Doktor asked. "One day, you suddenly appeared on this island, defeat our best elites, and earned yourself a good position. I can't help it but wonder who you really are-"
A knife suddenly flew by the Doktor's face, barely missing him. A little cut did appear on his cheek as blood fell out from it.
"I promise you...whoever I really am, is something you don't need to concern yourself with." Philius said as he grinned. "I'm the one who provides you with test subjects and tells you what Duel Spirits say since I can hear them. You wouldn't want such a great helper to kill you, now do you?"
The Doktor scoffed, wiping away the blood from his cheek.
"I guess I don't. Returning to the topic, what's this upgrade you have in mind for my creation?"
Philius stared at a machine on the other side of the room, and as the Doktor looked in the same direction, he understood immediately.
"HihihihihahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHA!"
Philius groaned as the Doktor burst into laughter...
Xyz Dimension, here we are!
First of all, sorry for ending the Tag Duel like that...
Actually, I'm not.
I felt this is one of those Duels were it needs to end with no winner! At least this way, the little rivalry between Vince and Mizael is born, and yes, Vince isn't technically a Dragon Tamer since his only dragon-like ace is Yamatochi, but we can all close an eye for once.
Special thanks to Darksawr who let me use the "Particle Dragon" cards for Mizael!
Before any of you ask, I'm only adding 3 characters from Zexal into Arc-V, two of which we met today, Mizael and Rio. I choose Rio because she got little screentime in Zexal and I intend on giving it to her here. Mizael, on the other hand, is one of my favorite Zexal characters because I really like his bonds with dragons. I mean, even when he discovered Number 107 was a curse put on his by Don Thousand, he said "Tachyon wouldn't betray me like that!" and I loved it.
The final character will be revealed in the next chapter, so try to guess who's going to be it! I'll give you a hint: they have a catchphrase. (No, it's not Yuma)
Don't forget to like, follow, and review!
