Duel 36: Clear Wing VS Twilight End!
Hiroto's POV
The difficult duel between me and Shun had finally ended. With his decision to trust in my words about being a comrade to him and to the Xyz Dimension, both Shun and Yuto took their leave to finish the things they needed to do with Akaba Reiji.
Once that was over, I decided to head home, thinking on how to confront my friends about my disappearance once again and on how I knew about Shun. But before I could think more of that, both Kazuto and I spotted a bright light that came from the Central Park, piquing my curiosity.
As the two of us headed there to investigate, we were confronted by a Duelist coming from the Synchro Dimension named Yugo. At first sight, Kazuto believed him to be the Pawn of Fusion that attacked Yuto back at the Xyz Dimension. But at me saying that, Yugo immediately grew angry and challenged me to a duel.
The two of us fought, with each of us showing our Synchro Monsters, until Yugo brought out his ace, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon. This dragon... it's giving me a strange feeling... It's just like the time when I faced Yuya and his Odd-Eyes, and Yuto with his Dark Rebellion.
Why does this weird feeling come to me?
TURN 08
Hiroto: LP 2900 x4
Field:
Star Eater (3200/2800) (Synchro)
The Start to the Light End (Spell: Continuous)
Yugo: LP 2600 x1
Field:
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (3000/2000) (Synchro)
Burning Sonic (Trap: Continuous)
Both Hiroto and Yugo stared at each other, as if they were trying to intimidate each other, while both knowing that it wouldn't work, as it was the Synchro-Xyz Duelist's turn to make his move.
"I may not know what happened to you and your two friends, but I know it has to be serious that made you forget on what Dueling is all about in truth..." Hiroto said as Yugo listened, showing a confused look on his face as his opponent gave a small smile to him!
"That's why, I'm going to make this fun and interesting to you, with this card!" Hiroto called as he showed the card that he drew as Yugo braced himself for it. "I activate the Spell Card, Smile World!" Hiroto called as he activated the card given to him by Yusho.
As it was activated, colorful smiles of the suns, stars, and happy faces appeared, surrounding the two Duelists and their monsters. Yugo watched in both amazement and surprise to see their dueling field like this as he suddenly remembered of when a friend of his tried to make dueling fun.
Flashback
"Here I come, Yo-Yo! I'm not going to hold back!" Yugo cried out as he rode on his white D-Wheel. He was currently in the City, doing a Riding Duel with someone he was close friends with! As he sped across the duel highway, another D-Wheel followed him with another rider on it!
"Bring it, Yugo!" The new rider cried out as he revealed his amber eyes. The rider revved up his turquoise D-Wheel to speed up to Yugo as he showed the fire in his eyes.
Nodding to his opponent, the White Duelist prepared the methods to summon his ace monster by summoning out Double Yoyo and Tri-Eyed Dice to the field. With everything set, Yugo called for his ace monster with the Synchro Summoning.
"Here I come! I tune my Level 4 Double Yoyo with my Level 3 Tri-Eyed Dice!" Yugo called as the dice scanned the yoyo as the familiar Synchro Dragon was about to come out and face the opponent to win.
"Spread your wondrous and beautiful wings, and strike down our enemies with wondrous speed! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 7! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (2500/2000)!" chanted Yugo as his ace monster roared and flew in the air at being summoned to the battlefield.
At the dragon being summoned, Yugo had finished his turn, allowing his friend to make his move. And just like with Yugo, the unknown rider summoned his two monsters, needed in order to summon his own ace!
"Clear Wing is a very powerful monster, I'll say... But it's not more powerful than my true ace! Prepare yourself, Yugo! I tune my Level 5 Aura Wyvern (2000/1800) with my Level 2 Aura Synchron (0800/0500)!" The rider called.
The two unknown monsters merged together to call forth another dragon, one that seemed to be equal to Yugo's Clear Wing.
"Respond to my heart, and feel the aura inside me! Appear as your true self and defeat the ones that oppose you directly! Synchro Summon! Descend now! Level 7! Aura Guardian Synchro Dragon (2500/2000)!" The rider chanted as his own dragon appeared into play.
The unknown dragon roared at Clear Wing, who roared back at the challenge. Yugo gave a glance back to see his friend smiling at him, as if he was enjoying this duel. The White Duelist couldn't help but smile back as he grinned, feeling the excitement inside his heart.
"Heh heh heh... The duel has just started, huh...? Bring it! Clear Wing and I will be sure to show you how strong the two of us are!" Yugo cried out, challenging his friend as the unknown Duelist smiled back, accepting the confident challenge.
"And I'll say the same thing back to you with Aura Guardian at my side! Prepare yourself, Yugo!" The rider cried out as their Ridling Duel continued on.
Flashback End
Seeing Smile World in play like this left Yugo to remember the times when he, Rin, and his new friend enjoyed dueling against each other, despite the fact that they were being treated as trash from the higher ups. It was a duel he couldn't forget at all.
Returning his eyes and thoughts to reality, he listened as the Synchro-Xyz Duelist explained of the effect of this card.
"Until the End Phase with this card's effect, all monsters gain 100 ATK for every monster on the field! Star Eater and Clear Wing are the only ones on the field! Therefore, our monsters gain 200 ATK!" Hiroto called as the two dragons roared at the power boost from the bright smiles.
(Star Eater ATK: 3200 to 3400)
(Clear Wing Synchro Dragon ATK: 3000 to 3200)
"Battle! I attack Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, with Star Eater! Star Spiral Annihilation!" Hiroto yelled as his giant dragon blasted the energy beam towards Clear Wing, catching Yugo by surprise as he knew what he had to do in order to save his ace monster.
"Like I'll let you! I activate the effect of my Tri-Eyed Dice from my Graveyard! By banishing this monster from the game, I can negate one attack during this turn!" Yugo called as his dice created a barrier to block the attack from Star Eater, preventing his ace monster's destruction.
"In that case, at Main Phase 2, I set two cards facedown and end my turn! Now, show me what you've got!" Hiroto called as his two facedowns appeared as soon as he had set them.
TURN 09
Yugo LP 2600 x2
"My turn! Draw!" Yugo cried as he drew as he smirked at the card he drew.
"I activate the Spell Card, Card of Sanctity! With this card's effect, we both draw until we have six cards in our hand!" Yugo called as Hiroto blinked, before he tried to ask until he realized on what Yugo wanted from him as he kept he question to himself.
"The formation is all set in my hand! With that, I activate the Spell Card, Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw two cards!" Yugo called as he put his luck on the cards he would draw. As soon as he did, he smirked before he continued on.
"And next, I also activate the Spell Card, Speedroid Scratch from my hand! With this card, I can send a Speedroid monster from my hand to the Graveyard to add another Speedroid monster from the Deck to my hand!" Yugo called out loud.
He picked out a card from his Deck and revealed it to his opponent as Hiroto braced himself for a hard hit.
"And the card I added, was Speedroid Taketomborg (0600/1200) to my hand! And since I have a Wind Type monster on the field, I can Special Summon it to the field!" Yugo called as his small monster appeared to stand with Clear Wing.
"And with that, I also Normal Summon the Tuner Monster, Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice (0100/0100)!" Yugo called as another dice appeared, looking more different than Tri-Eyed Dice. At the mention of Tuner, Hiroto knew what would be coming as he braced himself for a hard impact.
"Alright, here goes! I activate Red-Eyed Dice's effect! When this monster is successfully Summoned, I can change a Level of a Speedroid monster on the field! With that, I change Taketomborg's LV from 3 to 4!" Yugo called as his monster became one Level higher!
(Speedroid Taketomborg LV: 3 to 4)
"Changing a Level...? Could he be doing that just to summon a stronger Synchro Monster to the field...?" Hiroto thought as Yugo continued on with his turn.
"I tune my Level 4 Taketomborg with my Level 1 Red-Eyed Dice!" Yugo called as the dice surrounded and scanned the small, thin robot, calling forth a new Synchro Monster!
"Shining body nurtured by both wings, spread them and leap towards the sky! Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 5! Hi-Speedroid Hagoita (2000/1000)!" chanted Yugo as another Speedroid monster took place, floating next to Clear Wing.
"At this moment, I activate Hagoita's effect! By releasing it, all monsters on the field gains Hagoita's effect!" Yugo called as he tributed his new Synchro Monster for all the other monsters to gain its power!
"All of our monsters gain Hagoita's effect...?" Hiroto asked in confusion as even Kazuto was confused with this.
"But why would he do something like that...?" Kazuto asked as the White Duelist explained.
"That's right! Hagoita's effect is when the Level of one monster is changed, that Level is increased by one! And that's not all! From my hand, I activate the Spell Card, Hi-Speed Re-Level!" Yugo called as he placed his strategy into play while Hiroto and Kazuto watched in confusion.
"With this card's effect, I banish one Speedroid monster from my Graveyard, so all monsters on the field become the same level! I banish Hagoita so both Clear Wing and Star Eater become LV 5!" Yugo explained as the two dragons roared of having their Levels different.
(Clear Wing Synchro Dragon LV: 7 to 5)
(Star Eater LV: 11 to 5)
"That's why you released Hagoita!?" Hiroto gasped as Yugo gave a grin, filled with confidence.
"Right! And now, I activate Hagoita's effect that's given to all our monsters! With this effect, Both Star Eater and Clear Wing gains one level!" Yugo called as the banished Synchro Monster appeared, surrounding the two dragons while raising their levels!
(Clear Wing Synchro Dragon LV: 5 to 6)
(Star Eater LV: 5 to 6)
"Now, I activate Clear Wing's effect! When a Level 5 or higher Monster activates their effect, Clear Wing can negate that effect and destroy that monster at the same time!" Yugo called, catching Hiroto by surprise. "What did you say!?" Hiroto gasped as Clear Wing blasted Star Eater away!
"Go, Clear Wing! Dichroic Mirror!" Yugo yelled as Star Eater roared at being destroyed! The explosion nearly knocked Hiroto off of his feet as the effect from the Synchro Dragon wasn't done yet.
"And with the monster destroyed, Clear Wing gains the same amount of ATK of the monster that he destroyed just now!" Hiroto explained as his ace roared with pride at having his power increased, due to his destroyed opponent's destruction!
(Clear Wing Synchro Dragon ATK: 3000 to 6200)
"6200 ATK!? If I take a hit from that, then there's no way I'll survive!" Hiroto said in shock as the White Duelist prepared to finish the duel. "This is the end! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, attack him directly! Whirlwind Helldive Slasher!" Yugo yelled, as Clear Wing spun with its wings glowing.
The dragon was soon close to Hiroto as he braced himself as Kazuto did the same! As soon as Clear Wing came contact with them, the attack created an explosion around them, making Yugo believe that he was victorious.
"Yes! This duel was mine from the very start... Eh?" Yugo started to cheer, until he noticed something was off. Clear Wing came back to his side as the smoke cleared to show the Synchro-Xyz Duelist still standing! But that was not all that surprised Yugo.
Hiroto LP 700 x6
"No way! Your Life Points should've hit 0! How are you still in this!?" Yugo gasped as Hiroto smiled weakly, before he revealed a Trap he had set earlier on his turn before Yugo tried to make the finishing hit.
"Right before Clear Wing made the fatal hit towards me, I activated the Trap Card, Nutrient Z. When a monster with over 2000 ATK attacks, I gained 4000 Life Points, giving me a total of 6900 Life Points. And since Clear Wing's ATK was 6200, I took that amount of damage, leaving me with 700." Hiroto explained.
This left the White Duelist in disbelief, before he closed his eyes with an amused expression on his face.
"Heh... Guess it was a good thing you saved yourself... If the duel had ended like this so soon, then it wouldn't be this interesting at all! I set two cards facedown and end my turn! At this moment, Clear Wing's effect ends, returning his ATK to normal." Yugo called as his ace monster returned to their original state.
And not only that, two facedowns appeared in front of him, in case if he needed to counter his opponent's assaults.
(Clear Wing Synchro Dragon ATK: 6200 to 3000)
TURN 10
Hiroto LP 700 x7
"My turn! Draw!" Hiroto called as he drew his card. At the card he drew, the Synchro-Xyz Duelist knew what he had to do in order to turn this duel around, and to prove to Yugo that he wasn't an enemy!
"I'll turn this around on this turn! With Scale 1 Twilight End Pendulum Mammoth (2400/1800) and Scale 9 Twilight End Galaxy Wing (1400/1400), I set the Pendulum Scale!" Hiroto called as the two Pendulum Cards were set, allowing his Pendulum Summon to be done!
"What is this...!?" Yugo said in shock as he watched the two Pendulum Monsters rise in the air with the Pendulum Scale numbers under them!
"With this, I'm able to summon multiple Level 2 to 8 monsters simultaneously!" Hiroto called as his silver pendulum swung, as if it was responding to the set Pendulum Scale, while the White Duelist was once again surprised at hearing the simultaneous summoning!
"What!? Simultaneously!? This means multiple monsters!?" Yugo said as the Pendulum Summoning was about to be done.
"Swing, Pendulum of the Twilight! Guide us into the light and darkness, where our path to victory is revealed! Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters!" chanted Hiroto as the portal opened up to summon multiple monsters from his hand!
"Come into the battle, Light End Panther Guardian (2000/2000)! Light End Tuning Magician (0800/0600)! And Dark End Chidori Beast (2500/1500) (PS: 3)!" Hiroto called as his three monsters all came out for battle, leaving Yugo amazed once again as the opponent continued on with his turn.
"Now I Normal Summon the Tuner Monster, Dark End Spirit (0000/0000)!" Hiroto called as the dark spirit appeared alongside with its other three comrades as Yugo braced himself, knowing what it means when someone has a Tuner Monster on the field.
"Now, I tune my Level 7 Chidori Beast with my Level 1 Dark Spirit!" Hiroto called as the spirit surrounded the beast, scanning the Pendulum Monster as Hiroto performed his favorite Summoning method.
"Rise from the darkness, with vengeance in your heart! Eradicate all your enemies, with the power of darkness! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Level 8! Dark End Dragon (2600/2100)!" Hiroto chanted as his dark ace monster came into play, roaring when it was summoned to the field!
"This is just the beginning! Next, I tune my Level 6 Panther Guardian with my Level 2 Tuning Magician!" Hiroto called as another Synchro Summoning was about to be performed as Yugo watched for another Monster to come out!
"Appear from the heavens of lights! Shine upon the enemies that are destined to be destroyed by your powers! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Level 8! Light End Dragon (2600/2100)!" Hiroto chanted as this time, his light ace monster appeared, flying besides her dark counterpart!
"Two dragons!? And they're just like each other, but different..." Yugo breathed out as Hiroto took a deep breath before he continued his turn. "Okay... Here goes nothing!" Hiroto thought as he turned to Dark End.
"I activate Dark End Dragon's effect! Once per turn, by decreasing its ATK and DEF by 500, I can immediately destroy one monster on your side of the field! By lowering his power, I choose to destroy... Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" Hiroto called as he pointed towards Yugo's ace monster.
"Like I'll let you! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon's effect activates! When a Level 5 or higher Monster activates their effect, Clear Wing can negate and destroy that monster! Dichroic Mirror!" Yugo yelled as his Dragon attempted to deflect the power of Dark End!
"Don't think it'll be that easy! Twilight End Pendulum Mammoth's Pendulum Effect activates! When a Special Summoned monster from the Extra Deck on your side of the field targets one of my monsters with an effect, this effect can negate that effect and decrease Clear Wing's ATK by 500!" Hiroto yelled.
"What did you say!?" Yugo gasped as Pendulum Mammoth let out a loud trumpet cry, using his thunderous call to intimidate Clear Wing, while lowering its power down at the same time!
(Clear Wing Synchro Dragon ATK: 3000 to 2500)
"And since Clear Wing's effect to negate Dark End's effect is stopped, Dark End's effect for destruction continues on! This is the end for your ace monster!" Hiroto called as the dark powers began to reach for the Synchro Dragon!
"Continuous Trap, activate! Follow Wing! When this Trap is activated, I can target a Synchro Monster on the field and equip it to this card! And naturally, I choose Clear Wing Synchro Dragon! As long as this Trap is on the field, Clear Wing can't be destroyed by battle or by card effects!" Yugo called.
As the Trap protected Clear Wing, the darkness from Dark End was nullified, catching both Hiroto and Kazuto by surprise!
"He managed to counter Pendulum Mammoth's Pendulum Effect along with Dark End's Destruction power!?" Kazuto said in disbelief as Yugo continued to explain about his Trap's powers.
"And that's not all! Once per turn, when one of your Level 5 or higher Monster attempts to battle this monster, it can destroy that monster and give Clear Wing the ATK of that destroyed monster!" Yugo called, as Hiroto took a step back in surprise.
"So, it's just like with Clear Wing's effect, but with a Trap this time..." Hiroto said bitterly as Yugo revealed another Trap to increase his victory chances!
"And next, I activate another Continuous Trap! Dragon's Bind! Once again, I equip this Trap to Clear Wing Synchro Dragon! As long as this Trap is on the field, my opponent can't Special Summon a monster that has equal or less ATK than Clear Wing!" Yugo called, catching both counterparts by surprise.
"No way! That means... he's trapping us to in order to shorten our options!" Kazuto protested as Hiroto narrowed his eyes, realizing how difficult Yugo was making, with the Trap combo he was using.
But, this left him with just one option: to summon Twilight End Xyz Dragon.
He turned to his two dragons, as they nodded to him in understanding as Hiroto turned to Yugo, who still seemed confident for his victory in this duel.
"I... Overlay my Level 8 Light End Dragon and Dark End Dragon!" Hiroto cried as his two dragons merged together in the Overlay Network, catching the White Duelist by surprise once again. "It can't be...! This is...!" Yugo started as Hiroto called forth his ace Xyz Monster.
"Surrounded by light and darkness, mixed within the void! Embody yourself with this power of twilight, and serve as my faithful servant! Xyz Summon! Descend now! Rank 8! Twilight End Xyz Dragon (3000/2500)!" Hiroto chanted as the Xyz Dragon of the twilight roared at being summoned from its portal.
The Synchro user watched in awe as the dragon of the twilight appeared, facing his ace monster with the sharp glare of its eyes. He didn't say anything as he looked back at the Synchro-Xyz user, having the suspicions on him once again.
"First he Synchro Summons... then he performs a strange new Summoning method called Pendulum Summon... And now, he Xyz Summons? He's not using that method where those bastards came from... If he isn't using that, then he couldn't really be...?" Yugo thought as Hiroto went on with his turn.
"For every Synchro Monster I used to Xyz Summon Twilight End, he gains 500 ATK, giving him a total of 4000!" Hiroto called as his Xyz Monster roared at the power boost his comrades gave him.
(Twilight End Xyz Dragon ATK: 3000 to 4000)
"4000 ATK!? What kind of a monster is that...!?" Yugo snapped in shock as Hiroto continued on.
"Your Continuous Trap: Follow Wing only affects monsters who has Levels! And your other Trap: Dragon's Bind only affects monsters that has the same ATK as Clear Wing. Since Twilight End surpasses both of those, he's safe from your Trap combo!" Hiroto said with a knowing smile.
Yugo widened his eyes as the duel continued on, with the opponent starting the Battle Phase.
"Battle! I attack Clear Wing Synchro Dragon with Twilight End Xyz Dragon! Twilight Destruction Strike!" Hiroto yelled as his ace monster blasted his energy towards Clear Wing, as the Synchro Dragon roared in pain before it was sent to the Graveyard!
And due to Clear Wing being destroyed, the three Continuous Traps followed their equipped monster to the Graveyard as well.
Yugo LP 1100 x2
"WHOOOAAAA!" Yugo screamed as the force from the attack nearly knocked him and his D-Wheel into the air as he managed to maintain control of his ride before he skidded to a stop. Once the shockwave was gone, he glared at his opponent, who stood with his Xyz Dragon.
"You could've just turned down that power level, you know...? You almost damaged my D-Wheel once again!" Yugo snapped as Hiroto sweat dropped before he finished his turn.
"I set one card facedown and end my turn!" Hiroto called as a facedown appeared in front of him.
TURN 11
Yugo LP 1100 x3
"Here goes...! My turn!" Yugo called as he drew his card before he began his move.
"When I don't control any cards on the field, I can activate the Spell Card, Speed Draw! With this card's effect, I can draw two cards and send one Speedroid monster from my hand to the Graveyard!" Yugo called as he drew his two cards.
Once he did that, one of his cards was sent to the Graveyard, leaving him with just three cards again. As he was left with the one card he had left in his hand, the White Duelist realized that he needed to do what he had to do in order to get some answers.
Whether his opponent wasn't from the same place who kidnapped Rin or not, he had to finish this in this turn.
"This is my final turn! I'll end it right now! I activate the Spell Card, Shuffle Reborn! Using this card, I can revive Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (2500/2000) from the Graveyard with its effects negated! Revive, Clear Wing!" Yugo called as his ace monster came back into play.
"And next, I activate Speedroid Den Den Daiko Duke (1000/1000)'s effect from my Graveyard! By removing it from the game, I can Special Summon one Speedroid Tuner Monster from my hand or the Graveyard! Come back to the field, Red-Eyed Dice!" Yugo called as his dice was revived.
"It can't be... You're going to evolve your Clear Wing!?" Hiroto said in shock as Kazuto expressed his shock as well, with the White Duelist showing his grin.
"That's right! I can tell my dragon wants to keep fighting with your dragon! So, get ready! I tune my Level 7 Clear Wing Synchro Dragon with my Level 1 Red-Eyed Dice!" Yugo called as the dice scanned the Synchro Dragon, calling forth the evolved form of Clear Wing!
"Flash your sacred wings of light, and strike down our enemies with your brilliance! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon (3000/2500)!" Yugo chanted as Crystal Wing appeared, confronting Twilight End, who roared at the new opponent.
Crystal Wing roared back as the two dragons looked like they were communicating with each other. Hiroto and Kazuto both noticed together, but Yugo didn't seem to notice as he was too focused on getting some answers with the duel coming to an end.
"Even if you evolved your ace monster, Crystal Wing's ATK is no match for Twilight End's 4000 ATK! Just how are you planning to end the duel here!?" Hiroto asked as Yugo smirked before he made his answer.
"I'll end it with the hand I have right now! I activate the Spell Card, Clear Resolution! By banishing Clear Wing Synchro Dragon from the Graveyard, Crystal Wing gains ATK equal to Clear Wing's ATK!" Yugo cried out, catching both Hiroto and Kazuto by surprise.
"What!?" "No way!" Both Hiroto and Kazuto gasped together as Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon roared at the power it gained from its pre-evolved form.
(Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon ATK: 3000 to 5500)
"5500 ATK... If we're hit by something like that, then..." Kazuto breathed out in disbelief as Yugo called for the final blow.
"This is the end for you! Battle! Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon attacks Twilight End Xyz Dragon! Whirlwind Krystallos Edge!" Yugo yelled as he sped with his D-Wheel, as Crystal Wing flew high into the sky, before it dove down to strike Twilight End!
The two dragons made contact with each other, causing an explosion between the two as Hiroto was covered by the smokescreen, suffering from the attack he took from the evolved Synchro Monster. Yugo skidded his ride to a stop as he frowned, hoping that the attack made it this time.
"Did I do it...?" Yugo asked until he noticed something off once again.
With the smokescreen clearing, Crystal Wing was stopped as a barrier blocked his attack! Twilight End was safe due to this, along with Hiroto, who was still in the duel, despite the damage he could've taken from the recent attack.
Hiroto LP 2200 x0
"No way! How did you gain Life Points instead of losing them!?" Yugo gasped as Hiroto smirked, before turning to his Galaxy Wing, who was the reason why he was in this duel.
"Twilight End Galaxy Wing's Pendulum Effect... Once per turn, when a Special Summoned monster on your side of the field attacks one of my Special Summoned monsters... It can negate the attack and I gain Life Points equal to the difference that I would've taken as damage!" Hiroto explained calmly.
Yugo widened his eyes as he clenched his fists, before he finished his turn, knowing he failed to finish the duel to his favor.
"I... end my turn. At this moment, Clear Resolution's effect ends, returning Crystal Wing's ATK to normal..." Yugo said in both annoyance and disappointment as he lost his chance for victory once again!
(Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon ATK: 5500 to 3000)
TURN 12
Hiroto LP 2200 x1
"This is the REAL last turn, Yugo! My turn!" Hiroto called as he drew his card before he began to reveal the power of his Xyz Dragon.
"Twilight End Xyz Dragon's effect activates! Twice per turn, by using one Overlay Unit, it can add one of your Special Summoned monsters on your side of the field, making that monster's ATK add to Twilight End! And naturally, I choose Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon! Twilight Charge!" Hiroto called as Yugo attempted to counter.
(Twilight End Xyz Dragon OU: 2 to 1)
"As if I'll let you! Crystal Wing's effect activates! Once per turn, I can negate a monster's effect and destroy that monster!" Yugo called as Crystal Wing shined its bright wings towards Twilight End, until Pendulum Mammoth let out a trumpeting call!
"Did you forget about Pendulum Mammoth's Pendulum Effect? Once per turn, he can negate a Special Summoned monster's effect that targets one of my monsters while lowering its ATK by 500!" Hiroto called as the trumpeting sound stopped Crystal Wing from using its powers!
(Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon ATK: 3000 to 2500)
"Oh no!" Yugo gasped as he watched Twilight End use his powers to add his evolved monster's ATK to its own!
(Twilight End Xyz Dragon ATK: 3500 to 6000)
"And the worst is about to come! Twilight End's effect activates once more! Twilight Charge!" Hiroto called as his Xyz Monster roared at the new power it gained from his opponent!
(Twilight End Xyz Dragon OU: 1 to 0)
(Twilight End Xyz Dragon ATK: 5500 to 8000)
"8000 ATK!?" Yugo could only yell as the Synchro-Xyz Duelist entered the Battle Phase. "This is the end! Battle! Twilight End Xyz Dragon attacks Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon! Twilight Destruction Strike!" Hiroto yelled as the attack was done!
The attack from the Xyz Monster blasted Crystal Wing away, causing it to roar in pain before it exploded! The shockwaves from the destruction caused Yugo to be blown away as well as he and his D-Wheel skidded back from the blow they had taken!
"ARGH!" Yugo yelled as he was blown away from Twilight End's finishing blow.
Yugo LP 0 x1
WIN: Hiroto
Woth the duel finally over, the Duel Disks were deactivated. Twilight End disappeared as it roared in triumph for the victory it had attained just now as Hiroto panted, feeling worn out from the blow he had to take from his opponent's attacks.
But as he shook his head, he ran over to where Yugo looked defeated, with his D-Wheel looking all damaged up. Kazuto floated besides his Standard counterpart, losing his anger expression towards the White Duelist.
While the two looked down at the Synchro user, Yugo managed to recover and get up as he groaned from the shockwave of the blow he had taken from the last attack. "Ugh... This bites... I can't believe I lost to someone that looks just like Yo-Yo!" Yugo snapped in annoyance.
Hiroto sweat dropped at the mentioning of the name, until he realized on what the White Duelist said about someone looking just like him. "Wait... Someone that looks like your friend? Who do I really look like...?" Hiroto asked as Yugo glared back at him before his face softened.
"Well, you see... That's..." Yugo started to say until his Duel Disk on his D-Wheel began to glow!
"Huh!? Oh, come on! Not now! I need to get some answers here!" Yugo complained as he took out a card, which is revealed to be Clear Wing Synchro Dragon as Hiroto blinked in surprise, with Kazuto showing the same face expression.
"Wait, what now...?" Hiroto asked as Yugo quickly adjusted his D-Wheel back to its original position as he put his helmet on.
"Sorry, can't talk right now! I'll get some answers from you when we meet again, got it!?" Yugo cried out as his card shined brightly, enough to blind Hiroto and Kazuto as they couldn't see of what was happening to their recent opponent.
But as the light died down, they opened their eyes to see Yugo out of sight! But the damage caused from their duel wasn't gone as Hiroto narrowed his eyes. "There's someone else that looks like the two of us...? Could that be... our Synchro Counterpart?" Hiroto asked as Kazuto gulped.
"So, it's just like with... Yuto... and Ruri-neechan. The two of us have counterparts just like they do!" Kazuto cried out as Hiroto blinked before he tried to remember the faces of the Yuya counterparts he and Kazuto had met so far.
"Yuya, Yuto, and Yugo... If there's three of them, there must be a Fusion Counterpart of them in the Fusion Dimension... The same going for us... along with Yuzu and Ruri... But why is that?" Hiroto asked as Kazuto didn't know the answer to that question.
Their duel with Yugo just how brought more questions to their mind instead of answers, leaving them unsure of what might happen next, or on what their next action will be before the Maiami Championships. What they didn't know, was that their duel was being recorded by a familiar President.
At the LDS Observation Room...
Reiji and Nakajima had witnessed the whole duel between Hiroto and Yugo, using the city's cameras to see what was going on. It brought their attention first when the staff contacted them about a strong energy resonating at the Central Park, along with a duel occurring there.
When they saw who was dueling, they couldn't be more surprised than they ever were. But the opponent Hiroto was dueling left them even more curious.
"President... Could that intruder have been... from the Synchro Dimension?" Nakajima asked as Reiji remained silent and unfazed, before he made his answer.
"I cannot say for sure... The way he Synchro Summoned against Sakamoto Hiroto was stronger than the Synchro Summoning LDS has... But the way Sakamoto Hiroto called him the Pawn of Fusion... It could mean that the opponent he fought was also from the Fusion Dimension..." Reiji said as Nakajima frowned.
"Just like the other two intruders from the Fusion Dimension..." Nakajima said as he referred to Chaos and Chiaki. He was then questioned by Reiji about the Duelist they have in their hands.
"And what about that Duelist? The one that challenged me using Fusion and Xyz?" Reiji asked as Nakajima explained the details of their 'prisoner'. "He is currently still resting... I believe that duel with you earlier seemed to have taken quite a lot out of him, sir." Nakajima said.
"I see..." was the only thing Reiji said as he narrowed his eyes, realizing that the time was near before the plot reaches the climax.
"The players are all gathering around... Its about time we prepared for what's about to come..." Reiji said to himself as he closed his eyes for a moment, before he opened them once again.
