Chapter 36: Battle Fields

As the Battly Royale round begins Yuya, Zuzu, and Gong go their way to find Pendulum Cards and get ready to duel Sibella and her Xyz Comrades.

"Remember if our challengers want to duel, then they must two Pendulum cards and decide to put them on the line!" Nico announced.

Zuzu was looked in a bush. "These Pendulum Cards can be anywhere but we need to find Sibella."

"I know finding them is harder than just dueling with them and this city is huge." Yuya said. "Then we should split up." Zuzu said as she ran off. "Hold up!" Yuya called as his childhood friend stopped and turned around. "What's up?"

"Just be careful there's no telling how tough Sibella and the rest of her comrades are but we will get your father back on his feet." Yuya said with a smile. "Yeah, you be careful too." Zuzu replied with a smile.

"Now Fortree of Foundry activate!" Nico proclaimed as few devices activated in different locations of the city. "Now let's check our four dueling zones, Volcano its a blast, Iceberg chilling and thrilling, Jungle depths and dangers, ancient ruins are carefully chaotic, the fans are ready, the fields are set, our challengers are ready to grab the glory, and its time to go!" Nico announced.

Yuya picked up two in the Volcano zone. "I found two, so I must find..."

"Well looks like Yuya Sasaki, found his two Pendulum cards." A voice said from behind and top of a edge of cliff. The Dueltainer turned aroud and saw two martial art duelists. "That means one for me and one for you."

"Easy picking for the Bandit Warrior Academy." the 2nd bandit duelist said with a twisted pony tail. "That means they must duel like Iggy, he was more brutal then putting on a good show." Yuya said remembering his duel against the first Martial Art duelist. "I must defeat them both so I can find Sibella."

"The first duel of the day in the Volcano zone is about to erupt, its Taka and Nagi vs Yuya Sasaki!" Nico announced. "This doesn't look good." Ally said worriedly. "Those Bandit warrior guys are really tough." Tate said. "(Yuya must defeat them so he can get back Mr Boyle's life force back.)"

"You know the rules we must wager one of our Pendulum cards." Nagi said taking one of his Pendulm cards. "One card each." Taka said taking out a Pendulum cards. "Fine!" Yuya said as he took out a Pendulum Card.

"DUEL!" They said in unison.

At the Leo Control room.

Declan just arrived with Claude realizing his arrival. "What's the situation?" The Leo President asked. "Yuya's duel against two of the students from the Bandit Warrior Academy is already started." Claude replied turnin his attention to the screen. "(I wonder if what moves Sibella and these other comrades will endure.)" Declan thought.

A flashback scene.

"So this Sibella, you're mentioning is actually an inner self of Sibella?" Declan asked. "Yes, she's very strong the last time we saw her is during the invasion in the Xyz Dimension." Shay replied. "There's more I have friends like Leonardo and a comrade named Raptor who both have a power that equals to Sibella."

"I see, then we'll have to watch if these comrades can make the cut as a Lancer." Declan said.

end of flashback scene.

"We got the performing artists vs the martial artists, and its winner takes all!" Nico announced.

Nagi and Take put their hands straight foward curling up their hands as something occured to Yuya.

He imainged that he was seeing Iggy who did the same thing he gasped but shook his head. "(I don't care if there's two or ten I'm going to duel my way.)"

"I'll start off from here by summoning Performapal Skater Skimmer!"

Performapal Skater Skimmer Level 4 attack 500

"Bring it on!" Nagi called out. "Yeah, show us what you got super star." Taka added still curling his fingers. "You may have caught Iggy off guard." Nagi added. "But we saw how you dueled against him, we know you don't show mercy to anyone." Taka said.

"So we won't show any either." Nagi added.

Yuya remembered how he made Iggy scream when he defeated him. "No, that wasn't me I don't remember what happened to me, but I'll never duel like that again, no matter so I'll end my turn with a face down, its your move!"

At the Iceberg zone.

Gong punched a ice wall and cracked part of the wall then finding a Pendulum card. "Gong found his Pendulum Card, so Gong is ready for the party!"

He then heard a giggle and turned around. "Who goes there?"

He saw one of the competitors running into the snowstorm and he chased the person.

"Its our turn!" Taka proclaimed drawing his card and revealing two of the cards in his hand. "You're not the only one who's got Pendulum skills anymore, I set the Pendulum Scale with Scale Pendulum Statue Purple Shield 5 and Scale 11 Purple Sword, I can summon monsters from level 6-10 all at the same time, I Pendulum Summon, Tsumuji teh Earth Wind Star and Arashi the Sky Wind Star!"

Tsumuji the Earth Wind Star Level 6 Attack 2200

Arashi the Sky Wind Star Level 7 Attack 2300

"Whoa, Taka has Pendulum Summoning and ready to take Yuya out of the game!" Nico exclaimed.

"Purple Sword's Pendulum ability activates, my two Warrior monsters now gain 200 attack points each." Take explained as the purple sword monster glowed and the Wind star monster let out a battle cry.

Tsumuji the Earth Wind Star Level 6 Attack 2200-2400

Arashi the Sky Wind Star Level 7 Attack 2300-2500

"Battle time, Tsumuji take out that Skater Skimmer!" Take commanded. "I activate Skater's ability it switches into Defense mode and stops your attack!" Yuya explained.

Performapal Skater Skimmer Defense 1600

"Well I got one more monster for another attack, Arashi take aim!" Taka commanded as his Arashi prepared to fire its arrow. "(I need something.)" Yuya thought as he looked around and across the lava river was an Action Card. "That's it."

Suddenly he was pushed by Nagi nearly causing the Dueltainer to fall in the Lava river and giving Nagi to hop on each stone rock across. Then Arashi destroyed Skater Skimmer.

Yuya regained his balance.

"That was rude!" Federick pounted. "That was too mean!" Ally protested. "They sure know how to team up Yuya." Tate added. "I activate teh Action Spell: Flame Ball, this will make 200 of your life points go up in flames." Nagi explained as fire balls blasted the Dueltainer.

Yuya: 3800

"Nice job Nagi." Take praised. "Thank you, Taka." Nagi replied. "(These guys play tough, but not tough enough to beat me.)" Yuya thought. "ready for more?" Taka asked. "You bet!" Yuya replied. "Good cause I'm activating the Spell: Polymerzation! Taka proclaimed.

"This is unbelieveble, Taka is about to bring things up by taken Yuya down!" Nico exclaimed.

"I fuse Tsumuji with Arashi, together these two titans combine into one furious warrior, I Fusion Summon: Fujin the Break Storm Star!"

Fujin the Break Storm Star level 10 Attack 3000

"Fujin has a very interesting special ability, at the end of a turn, for every warrior monster on the field, you take 500 point of damage." Taka explained as his Fujin swung its staff unleashing a wind vortex. "Now my partner will take his turn."

Yuya: 3300

"(I have to do an Action Card.)" Yuya thought running off. "He's running scared." Nagi said. "He won't get very far." Taka pointed out sliding down to Yuya.

At the Iceberg zone.

Zuzu was shivering from the cold. "Brr, I wish this shirt had sleeves.

She then heard a voice nearby. "Searching for Pendulum Cards, I'm just inspirding what I did back home." It was one of the competitors wearing eyptian clothes and then he noticed Zuzu. "Oh, you're the Fusion Summoner Zuzu Boyle!"

"I'm Halil an exchange student of the Leo Institute of Dueling, I'm a Fusion Summoner like you, its an honor." He added bowing. "Oh its honor too." Zuzu replied bowing back. "I followed your journey throught the beginning, it is my dream to duel you!" Halil said with eager. "I'd be happy to duel you too but I only have one Pendulum Card." Zuzu replied. "Oh in that case its forunate that I found three Pendulum Cards." Halil said taken out one of his Pendulum cards out of his pocket. "It would be my great pleasure if I were to share one of mine so we can duel each other."

Zuzu took the Pendulum Card in graditute. "Oh that's so nice, thank you so much."

"I must warn you I'll win." Halil said with determination. "We'll just see about that, when we battle I'll take center stage, I don't plan given up the spotlight to anyone." Zuzu replied sharing the same determination. "(I just hope I can win soon so I can save my father.)"

Halil took Zuzu's hands. "I can hardly wait!"

"The Pendulum Card I wager is this one!" they both proclaimed.

"The Battle between Zuzu Boyle and Halil is about to begin!" Nico announced.

Entering the Iceberg zone was Maria and Jenna who was flying on her jetpack. "Its time for this angel to track down that Zuzu Boyle." The angel duelist said. "I heard Gong was in this zone, I must battle him again." Jenna said as she deactivated her jetpack.

Entering the Volcano zone was Leonardo with Sibella.

"I can hardly wait to take out that Dueltaining punk." Inner Sibella said with detemination as she put on her duel disk on her wrist. "He must around here." Leonardo said as he put on his duel disk on his wrist too.

Back at the Iceberg.

"Watching two duels at once is giving me the good goose pickles." Federick said. "For now, but that might not last for long." Tate said turning his attention to Yuya's duel.

"I got bad news Yuya." Nagi said as he drew his card. "Its Pendulum time."

Yuya heard this. "Uh oh."

"I set the Pendulum Scale with scale 5 Purple Shield and Scale 11 Purple Sword, I may have set up the Pendulum cards, but I'm bringing out monsters to suit my style, I Pendulum Summon, Todoroki the Earth Volt Star! Nagi proclaimed.

Todoroki the Earth Volt Star level 6 Attack 2100

"Senko the Sky Volt Star!"

"Another summmoning performed by the demonic duelists, as the action is getting underway!" Nico announced turning his attention the Iceberg zone.

"My turn, I summon the Mystical Genie of the Lamp in attack mode!" Halil proclaimed.

"At this turn, I place two cards facedown."

"My turn now, I draw!" Zuzu proclaimed drawing her card. "Alright I set the Pendulum Scale with Scale 3 Pendulum Statue Whife Butterfly with Scale 9 White Flower, my Pendulum Summon day ja vu is here today!"

"In that case I activate the trap: Absorbing Lamp, this lets me prevent you from Pendulum Summoning by taken one of your Pendulum Cards, so hand over White Flower please." Halil said kindly as Zuzu threw White Flower to the Eyptian man. "Thank you, this Pendulum Card will help me seek out to defeat you, so I hope you're not upset with my action."

"I'm not but I can be a sure you won't be cause I summon Opera the Melodious Diva!" Zuzu proclaimed.

"I hope you're ready for an amazing performance cause this diva is about to deal a lot vocals." Zuzu said.

At part of the iceberg zone

One of the competitors Olga and approaching her from behind was Gong. "Coming here to duel reminds me of back home, I can't lose with home advantage." She said glancing at the Dojo student. "Advantage, wherever Gong goes to train is on a glacier." Gong pointed out. "I am Olga from the LID, it'll be my pleasure to beat you."

"Now we got another pair of duelists about to mix it up in the Iceberg zone, but right now let's check out the other duel!" Nico announced turning his attention the duel between Zuzu and Halil.

"My turn, I draw." The Eyptian man proclaimed drawing from his deck. "Ah, a Pendulum Card!"

"Don't tell me what you have!" Zuzu pointed out. "Oh sorry, I can't hide my intense delight, I had a dream I'd use a Pendulum Card, now it is here, with Scale 1 Fiend and Scale 9 White Flower, I set the Pendulum Scale!" Halil proclaimed as he set the Pendulum Cards but then a buzz went off. "Huh, something must be wrong, my duel disk maybe going off or this Fiend card is a tricky."

He set the Pendulum fiend again and again but still buzz sounded as Zuzu sighed. "Speard them out."

"Say again." Halil said. "Put one of the Pendulum cards on the far left and second on the far right!" Zuzu answered. "Ok, I'll do that." Halil replied as he set his two Pendulum Cards on the Pendulum Zone. "It worked thank you so much!"

"I guess I paid you back for giving you a Pendulum Card." Zuzu said. "At last I can summon monsters through Level 2 to 8 all at the same time, I Pendulum Summon, appear Red Lamp!"

Red Lamp Level 3 Attack 900

"And Purple Lamp!"

"Hooray I achieved my first Pendulum Summon, I'll explore its trickers, I'll begin my exploration by activating Red Lamp's abiliy, when this card is sucessfully summoned, you take 900 point of devastated damage!" Halil explained his red lamp monster fired a flamethrower attack.

Zuzu: 3400

"Yes I can do this!" Halil proclaime excitedly. "Yes, you should be proud of yourself." Zuzu said. "Now I shall activate Purple Lamp's special abiliy, I am able to transfer the spell card: Polymerization to my hand." The Eyptian man explained. "Now get ready, cause I'm activating Polymerzation!"

Fire Jinn the Flame Genie of the Lamp Level 7 Attack 2400

"Oh my, Halil's game is on fire, he just might be a fire away from winning!" Nico proclaimed. "He looks like he's got the upper hand but Zuzu isn't going down without a fight."

"I activate Fire Jinn's ability when he's successfully summoned, you take 600 points of damage." Halil explained as his fire genie unleased a fire breath.

Zuzu: 2800

"Due to the Pendulum ability of Purple Fiend, my Genie gains 300 attack points."

Fire Jinn the Flame Genie of the Lamp Attack 2400-2700

Zuzu ran off. "Let's battle, Fire Jinn attack Opera the Melodious Diva!" Halil commanded as his fire genie flew towards the Melodious monster which made a sad face and the fire genie stopped then just flicked its finger on the Diva's head and destroying it.

Zuzu: 2400

"Now Purple Lamp attacks you directly!"

The Purple Lamp unleased a dark energy blast Zuzu and blowing her away causing her to slide across but then she noticed an Action Card. "Its an Action Card." She said as she managed to grab it but she kept sliding. "Never fear, we're on our way!" Halil called out as he was carried in the palm of hand of his Fire genie monster.

Back at the Volcano zone.

"(There's got to be an Action Card somewhere.)" Yuya thought. "I activate my Purple Sword's Pendulum ability, my two warriors gain 200 attack points." Nagi explained as his warriors let out a battle cry.

Todoroki the Earth Volt Star level 6 Attack 2100-2300

Senko the Skyl Volt Star Level 7 Attack 2400-2600

"Todoroki get him before he gets an Action card!" Nagi commanded.

Yuya continued running and looked back to see the Earth Volt Star got closer to him. The Dueltainer was slammed by the Volt Star's club and sending him flying.

Yuya: 1000

Yuya struggled to get up and saw a Action Card next to a rock but his hand was stepped on by Taka's foot. "You came close but close doesn't count." The headband warrior said taken the Action card. "I play the Action Spell: Flame Ball, which deals you 200 points of damage!"

Yuya: 800

"Look out Yuya cause here comes Senko." Nagi said as his warrio monster charged. "I'll stop him wth my trap: Performapal Pinch Helper, your monsters attack is denied and now I get to Special Summon a Performapal Monster from my deck with 800 attack points or less by giving up its ability." Yuya explained. "I summon Performapal Thunder Rhino!"

Performapal Thunerhino Level 3 Defense 1800

"You're wasting your time, I play the Spell: Front line Fusion, I fuse Senko and Todoroki, the heavens, the shaken earth, powers of lighting and thunder unleash your fury, I Fusion Summon, Rijin the Break Bold Star!" Nagi proclaimed.

Rijin the Break Bold Star Level 10 Attack 3000

"Due to Rijin's special ability, when it attacks monster in defense mode, you still take damage." Nagi explained.

"It appears that you were two months away from overcoming us." Taka pointed out.

"If Yuya doesn't do something." Tate said. "Then it'll be showtime over." Ally added worriedly.

Yuya ran off. "I activate the second effect of Performapal Pinch Helper by sending it to the graveyard, the damage I would've taken is now cut in half."

Rijin swung its sword at the rhino and destroyed it.

Yuya was struck by the Rijin's attack. "Aaaah!"

Yuay: 200

At the Iceberg Gong's duel against Olga was underway.

Gong had Superheavy Samurai blowtorch.

Superheavy Samurai Blowtorch Level Attack 500

"Olga controlled Arctic Beast- Blizzard Wolf and Polar Penguin

Olga: 2600

"Unless you want to get plain danged, then get out of Gong's way!" Gong called out. "I'm going no where!" Olga replied as Zuzu fall on her. "Huh, talk about dropping in." Gong commented.

"Hi Gong." Zuzu said rubbing her head. "Excuse me, get off me." Olga said as the You Show Fusion User got up. "Oh sorry."

Just then a beeping sound was heard on Zuzu's duel disk and Gong noticed that there was a message on his duel disk.

Halil then appeared and looked at his duel disk too. "Well, what's this message?"

Nico observed this. "Well, what do you know, its a Tag Team Duel!"

"Zuzu's teaming up with Gong now!" Tate exclaimed. "Hmm, my pickles is goosed!" Federick said excitedly.

At the Ancient ruins zone

Shay entered an open space and bend down.

"We've been looking for you." A voice said from behind it was on the Knight duelists: Carl approaching from behind and next to him was Ashley. "We don't like what you did to our friend sir Charles."

"We're going to make you pay." Bram said approached too. "I see you guys are looking for payback, well let's you see try and collect." Shay said as the Knights of the Duel Disk approached closer and closer.

"Let me help!" A voice rang out. the Knights and Shay looked to the direction where the voice came from and one of the ruins pillars was Jenna Jetsam. "Who is that?" Bram asked.

The camera caught this. "Whoa, looks like we got a unexpected competitor!" Nico announced.

"Who is that girl!" A man asked.

"Shay, let me assist you." Jenna said with determination look.

"What did she say?" A woman asked in surprise. "She knows Shay!" Another woman exclaiming in shock.

"Jenna seems to be there now." Tate said. "I know that means her comrades might be in the city somewhere as well." Yoko said.

Back at the Leo Control Room.

"What the, does that girl know Shay?" Claude asked. "It would seem so." Declan said. "We should get her out...' Claude began to say as he took his cellphone but the president stopped him. "No, so far we've seen Shay, Katt, Yuto, and Leonardo's dueling skills in action so let this girl assist Shay cause I need to see her dueling skills."

At the ancient ruins zone.

"I take it that you're a friend of this man?" Bram asked the young blacked pony tailed girl Xyz. "Yes, my name Jenna Jetsam." The girl replied. "So can I assist you Shay?"

Shay was silent but nodded his head which he accepts her help and went over to her side. "(Oh I'm teaming up with Shay.)" She thought blushing red.

"This should be interesting." Ashley said. "Let's see how well your girlfriend can duel." Carl joked. "She's not my girlfriend." Shay said firmly but he was slightly blushing.

Moon and Sun Shadow were in the jungle zone looking for Selena who was walking in the jungle as well.

Back at the Volcano Zone.

"It looks like Yuya is down for the count." Taka said observing the Dueltainer's condition. "I'd say that showtime is over for him." Nagi replied. "Say what you guys want but I will keep dueling!" Yuya proclaimed as he got up on his feet and ran off.

"You can keep running but don't forget that Fujin's special ability at the end of a turn you lose 1000 life points each." Taka reminded. "This turn is about to end now." Nagi said as Fujin monster unleashed its wind blow directly at the Dueltainer.

The wind almost hit Yuya as he covered himself but then something blocked the effect damage. "Now two on one isn't fair." A male voice rang out.

They gasped as they looked to see a duelist from other side where Yuya was. "Mind if I join in, cause I love the line light." the man said chuckling goofy.
