Chapter 50: Warriors of Academia
In the control room Reiji, Shun, Nakajima and Masumi was listening the results of the duel "these are the results of the Miami Championship Junior Youth matches so far" Nico said. "Yugo Sakaki as Yuto's card" Shun said as he started to walk away. "Where are you going?" Reiji asked Shun "to meet him" Shun said "not now" Reiji simply replied. "No matter the reason I'll have you refrain from actions that would impede on the progression of the tournament" Reiji said as Shun just gritted his teeth. "Just be patient Shun I know you're worried about your friend but you need to stick with the plan remember the reason why you decided to work with us in the first place" Masumi said trying to calm the Xyz user down.
Shun looked at Masumi and just sighed and walked away and left the control room causing Masumi to sigh a bit "man he can be so hard headed at times" Masumi said. "Just in case, I will put Shun under surveillance" Nakajima said "good" Reiji said. "Pardon the abruptness, but we have a change of schedule regarding the upcoming third match due to the absence of LDS Hokuto Shijima match Kirigakurie Cooking School Michio Mokota wins by default" Nico announced. "huh what happen to Hokuto he would never miss a duel like this something happen" Masumi said as she was clearly worried about her friend. "President about three hours ago we detected a powerful summoning energy within Miami City" an employer said.
"What method was it" Reiji asked "fusion" the employer replied "fusion" Masumi said "we've found the cameras that detected the energy level please look at this" the employer said as Masumi widen her eyes "that's Hokuto" Masumi said and what she saw next shocked and anger her she saw the duelist did something to Hokuto causing him to disappear. "Hokuto!" Masumi said as she clinched her fist "calm down Masumi" Reiji said to the girl Masumi tried to her best to calm down but how could she when she saw her friend disappear like that. "Rewind it" Reiji as the video rewind "stop" Reiji said as everyone got a clear look at the girl and Masumi and Nakajima was shocked.
"Is that Yuzu?" Masumi wondered "no that can't be her so who is this girl" Masumi said as she glared at the image of the girl which turned out to be Serena.
"Now th, it's the seventh day of the Miami Championship and up next in this second stadium we have You Show Duel School Yuzu Higari versus Duel Girls Club's Mikiyo Naname" Nico announced as Yuzu was entering the stadium. "Big sis Yuzu" the kids said as they cheered Yuzu on "burning hot blooded" Shuzo yelled Yuzu then waved to her dad and friends who were cheering for her. "Do your best" Ayu said "you better give them shivers" Futoshi said "I know you can do it" Tatsuya said however Yugo wasn't even cheering at all as he had a bit of a depress look on his face which was unusual because besides maybe her father Yugo would proudly cheer and scream for Yuzu when she duels it might be a bit embarrassing but regardless Yuzu really loved and appreciated Yugo being there for her when she duels.
Yugo cheering for her would usually motivated Yuzu to do her best and win and hopefully she can be just as good of a duelist as her childhood friend and crush. Yuzu had a bit of worried look on her face because she was worried about Yugo he been depress ever since he won his duel against Isao and she doesn't really know what to do to cheer him up.
"Mikiyo" somebody said as Yuzu turned to look and see what was going on as the crowd was cheering "Naname" on. "Duel time starts now are all of you ready" Mikiyo said to the people in front of her "with your best self" Mikiyo said "and your best smile duel girls club go" everyone said as they went out of the tunnel and Mikiyo came out as well. "Mikiyo!" the crowd which was mostly male said "here I go" Mikiyo said as the crowd cheered. "All of our fans, thank you for coming today I'll special summon all of your hearts too" Mikiyo said as the crowd cheered for her even louder. "As expected of the Idol Duelist" Yuzu said "she makes getting her fans excited seem like child's play but I'm the poster girl of You Show Duel School I'll show you real Entertainemt Dueling" Yuzu said.
Meanwhile in the control room they have spotted Serena in the first stadium "we have discovered the mysterious girl inside the first stadium Yuzu Higari is starting her match in the second stadium" an employer said. "There no mistaking it that is the girl from yesterday" Reiji said "your right president but why is she at the first stadium" Masumi said. "The scheduled match for Miami National's First Stadium has last years' championship winner Yu Sakuragi, who then was qualified for the Youth leagues" Nakajima said. "So then her target must be Yu Sakuragi then" Masumi said she then started to leave the control room "Masumi where are you going" Nakajima said. "To the duel stadium" Masumi said however Reiji stood up "hold on Masumi I'm coming with you it might be dangerous so you need backup" Reiji said as he walked next to her and stood on the platform.
"Nakajima make sure that Shun doesn't go there" Reiji said as the platform went down "understood" Nakajima said. "I attack with Gellenduo Angle Loop" Mikyio said as she destroyed Yuzu's monster decreasing her life points (LP 4000-2900). "I end my turn here" Mikiyo said "this is a close match both of the players are even in skill" Nico announced. "Hmm we may be tied in dueling skills but with everyone support, I've got the strength of a hundred everyone, make sure you enjoy every second of this duel" Mikiyo said to the audience. "Strength of a hundred please I'm going to definitely will give everyone the best duel they can enjoy" Yuzu said. "Stay calm and burn on Yuzu" Shuzo said "I'll transfer you the hot blooded power power of a hundred myself" Shuzo said.
"And I the man Gongenzaka, will cheer with the power of a hundred men" Gongenzaka said "with both of us, you've got the power of two hundred" Gongenzaka and Shuzo said at the same time "yay!" the kids cheered. "Yay" Yugo said without any energy in his voice he then sighed and looked at Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon "yesterday duel" Yugo said as he remember what happen during that duel "why did that happen was it the voice or something else" Yugo thought. Meanwhile at the first duel stadium the first duel just ended. "Sakuragi has Xyz Summoned Hierophant of Prophecy he used it to finish his match today.
Yu then went back into the tunnel and he saw to figures walking up to him "are you the one who called me here?" Yu asked the two of them. Serena then took off her cloak "the one who called you was me" Reiji said as he and Masumi appeared and Masumi just glared at Masumi. "President" Yu said "I apologize but you should leave your duel today was splendid I expect more from you in the future" Reiji said. "Th-thank you" Yu said as he left the area "hold it!" Serena said but Masumi wasted little time and grabbed Serena's wrist "hey let go of me!" Serena said to Masumi. "What are you waiting for hurry up and go!" Masumi said to Yu. Yu then left the area Serena then released herself from Masumi grip "tch if you two are going to get in my way I'll take you out first" Serena said. "Fine I been meaning to take you out after what you did to my friend" Masumi said as she turn to look at Reiji "president leave her to me I'm sure you can handle her bodyguard over there" Masumi said.
The other figure removed his cloak as well "why bother I can take both of you out at once so stay out of this Barrett" Serena said. "The duty given to me by the professor is to protect you from many sparks that may fall upon you" Barrett said. "Sorry pal but she is going to be dueling me lets go I don't want to get in the president's way when he duels" Masumi said as she walked to another location with Serena following her "be careful Masumi this will be your true test as a member of the lancer. "So the professor you speak of is Leo Akaba, correct" Reiji said as he pushed up his glasses. "If so you along with her enemies" Reiji said as Barrett put on his duel disk.
"Seal off this area do not let anyone in here until I tell you otherwise" Reiji said to Nakajima he then activated his duel disk.
"DUEL!" both Reiji and Barrett said at the same time
REIJI LP 4000
VS
BARRETT LP 4000
"First strike takes the advantage I'm going first I activate the continuous spell beastborg polymerization" Barrett said as he swiped the card on his duel disk and the card appeared face up on the field. "Once per turn, I can fusion summon a beastborg monster" Barrett said. "As I suspected" Reiji said realizing that Barrett and Serena was from the fusion dimension. "I fuse Panther Warrior and Dark Sentinel from my hand" Barrett said "ferocious black panther and guardian of sacred darkness merge as one and let forth your valiant roar" Barrett said as the two monsters turned into beams of light and started to swirl together. "I fusion summon come forth Beastborg Panther Predator" Barrett said as Panther Predator appeared on the field (*6: ATK/1600).
"We're detecting a summoning energy almost equivalent to yesterday" an LDS employer said while everyone in the control room was watching the duel.
"I activate Panther Predator effect once per turn I can deal damage equal to half of Panther's attack points to my opponents" Barrett said as Panther Predator fired a laser beam from its metal armor and struck Reiji causing him to block the attack as his life points decreased (LP 4000-3200). "I set two cards face down and end my turn" Barrett said as he swipe the cards face down on his duel disk and the cards appeared face down on the field before disappearing. "He already trying to wear me down on the first turn by dealing damage hmph so he going by the basics book strategy huh" Reiji said.
"President, there's no mistaking it your opponents are duelists from the fusion dimension" Nakajima said to Reiji. "I know please inform Masumi as well" Reiji said "understood sir" Nakajim said. "My turn" Reiji said as he drew his card and looked at it. "I activate the continuous spell covenant with the swamp king" Reiji said as he swiped the card on his duel disk and activated it and it appeared face up on the field. "This card inflicts one thousand points of damage to me during my own standby phase" Reiji said. "Oh damaging yourself" Barrett said "but in exchange for that once per turn I am able to fusion summon a fiend type monster the monsters I choose to fuse are D/D Lilith and D/D Cerberus" Reiji said shocking Barrett that this guy was able to fusion summon.
"Hellhound which bears it's fangs, seductress of the dark night in a whirlpool of light from the realm of the dead become one and give birth to a new king" Reiji said as his two monsters turned into balls of light and started to swirl together inside of a portal. "I fusion summon be born D/D/D Temujin, the Flame Lord" Reiji said as Temujin appeared on the field (*6: ATK/2000). "Battle I attack Panther Predator with Temujin the Flame Lord" Reiji said "Fires Stroke!" Reiji said as Temujin sword was lit on fire and he used it to slash at Panther Predator destroying it and decreasing Barrett life points (LP 4000-3600).
"But I activate this continuous trap before the battle began Beastborg Medal of the Iron Shield" Barrett said as a plate had appeared on the field. "This card gains a medal counter for every one hundred points of damage I take" Barrett said as four medals appeared on the field. "And when Panther Predator is destroyed I can special summon its fusion materials from the graveyard" Barrett said. "I special summon Panther Warrior and Dark Sentinel" Barrett said as his monsters appeared on the field (*4: ATK/2000) (*4: ATK/1500). "So you had already planned for its destruction I end my turn" Reiji said as Barrett prepared for his next turn.
"Unafraid of the risk needed to be taken for victory it seems you already have an extensive amount of combat experience" Reiji said as Barrett remembers how he lost his eye during the invasion and remembered seeing Serena trying to go to standard. "I'm going to standard even if you try to stop me" Serena said she wanted to prove herself to the professor and her big brother so badly that nobody is going to stop her not even her boyfriend Yuri who Serena dearly loves the most besides Ryo of course. "I will not stop you I will go with you as well" Barrett calmly said to the fusion duelist. "You're the first guard who hasn't tried to stop me" Serena said to Barrett.
"I was already aware of the risk if I am able to return to the battlefield then I must produce suitable results" Barrett thought. "My turn!" Barrett said as he drew his card "once again I activate the continous spell Beastborg Polymerize effect I will fusion summon using Panther Warrior and Dark Sentinel" Barrett said as the monsters started to swirl together again "come forth once more Panther Predator" Barrett said as Panther Predator appeared on the field (*6: ATK/1600). "Futhermore, I activate the continous trap Beastborg Medal of the Iron Shield's effect by sending this card to my graveyard, I can increase the attack points of one Beatmorg monster I control by one hundred attack points per metal counter" Barrett said as the plate disappeared and Panther Preadtor attack points increased (*4:ATK/1600-2000).
"It's attack points is tied with Temujin" Nakajima said as he watched the duel "I activate the continous trap Beastborg Medal of White Sword" Barrett said as his trap card flipped face up on the field. "This card gains a medal counter for every one hundred points of damage I deal to my opponent" Barrett said. Reiji just smirked and chuckle a bit "I see you have quite a liking for war medals" Reiji said to the fusion duelist. "I am a warrior the amount of medals I possess is proof of my honor once again, I'll have you take half of this card's damage with its effect" Barrett said as Panther Predator fired a laser beam at Reiji which he blocked it but his life points decreased quite a bit (LP 3200-2200).
"I activate the continuous trap Beastborg Medal of the White Sword's effect by sending this card to the graveyard I can increase the attack points of one Beastborg monster on my field by one hundred points per medal counter" Barrett said as Panther Predator attack points increase (*6: ATK/2000-3000). "He already raised its attack points to three thousand" Nakajima said. "I attack Temujin the Flame Lord with Panther Predator Industrial Savage" Barrett said as Panther Predator ran and destroyed Temujin the Flame Lord decreasing Reiji life points (LP 2200-1200). "As I expected, he has an abundance of combat experience" Reiji thought. "I set one card face down and end my turn" Barrett said as he swiped the card face down on his duel disk and the card appeared face down on the field before disappearing.
"In your next standby phase you're going to take one thousand points of damage to your continous spell covenant with the swamp king correct" Barrett said. "That is correct" Reiji replied "my turn" Reiji said as he drew his card "due to my continuous spell Covenant with the Swamp King, I will take one thousand points of damage" Reiji said as he clinch his chest in pain as his life points decreased (LP 1200-200). "You have my respect you deserve a medal of honor as well" Barrett said to Reiji however the young CEO merely brushed him off. "I do not need such things but, warrior of the fusion dimension this damage has sealed your faith" Reiji said "what" Barrett said as Reiji looked at his two Pendulum cards.
"I using the scale one D/D Philosopher of Prophecy, Galilel and the scale ten D/D Philospher of Prophecy Kepler set the Pendulum Scale" Reiji said as he swiped the cards on the edges of his duel disk and the world Pendulum appeared in the middle of his duel disk in rainbow like colors. The monsters appeared inside of blue pillars with their scale numbers on them "with this I am able to simultaneously summon monsters from level two to nine" Reiji said as he began to chant. "Grand power which shakes my very soul arise within me and give birth to a new light that render darkness I pendulum summon come before me my monsters!" Reiji said as a giant beam of light came from the portal.
"Prideful knight D/D Proud Chevalier" Reiji said as Chevalier appeared on the field (*5: ATK/2000) "vessel of disaster D/D Pandora" Reiji said as Pandora appeared on the field (*5: ATK/1700). "Pendulum Summon!" Barrett said in a surprise tone "there is still more I overlay D/D Proud Chevalier and D/D Pandora" Reiji said as his two monsters turned into beams of light and went into the ground. "Hero of legends pierce through all things with your profound justice I Xyz Summon come forth Rank five D/D/D Tell, the Marksman Lord" Reiji said as Marksman Lord appeared on the field (Rank 5: ATK/2300).
"Pendulum into Xyz" Barrett said "Tell, Marksman Lord effect if I have taken damage from a covenant card this turn, I can use one overlay unit I can lower an opponent;s monster attack points by ine thousand points and deal one thousand points of damage" Reiji said as Marksman Lord absorbed the overlay unit. "So this is why he took that damage" Barrett said "piercing arrow" Reiji said as Marksman Lord fired two arrows at Panther Predator decreasing it's attack points and at Barrett decreasing his life points (*6: ATK/2000) (LP 3600-2600). "Of course I will also be using the remaining overlay unit" Reiji said "Piercing Arrow" Reiji said as Panther Predator attack points decreased again (*6: ATK/2000-1000) and it struck Barrett as his life points decreased (LP 2600-1600). "I'm not finished yet continous spell Covenant with the Swamp King other effect I can fusion summon a D/D monster by banishing materials from my graveyard" Reiji said "what!" Barrett said. "I banish D/D Proud Chevalier and D/D Pandora from my graveyard and fuse them" Reiji said as his cards were banished. "Proud Knight, be absorbed into the crucible of disaster be reborn into a true king" Reiji said as his monsters started to swirl together.
"I fusion summon come forth ruler who carries the glory of god D/D/D D'arc the Oracle Lord" Reiji said as a feminine knight like monster with wings appeared on the field (*7: ATK/2800). "Battle I attack Panther Predator with D/D/D Arc the Oracle Lord" Reiji said as Oracle Lord prepared to attack. "I won't fall that easily I activate the trap card Beastborg Metal of Honor" Barrett said as a card flip face up on the field. "It destroys a Beastborg fusion monster and special summons its fusion materials from the graveyard" Barrett said. "I destroy Panther Predator then I special summon Panther Warrior and Dark Sentinel" Barrett said as his two monsters appeared on the field (*4: ATK/2000) (*4: ATK/1500). "Next I activate the effect of the trap card Beastborg Medal of Honor both players are death damage equal to the total attack points of the monsters special summoned by its effect" Barrett said.
"With these thirty five hundred points of damage I'll take you out with me" Barrett said as the explosion was heading straight towards Reiji however Reiji merly adjusted his glasses and stared at the explosion. "I won't let you I activate D/D/D D'Arc the Oracle Lord effect I negate your effect damage and gain life points equal to that amount" Reiji said as Oracle Lord took the damage head on "Life Elation!" Reiji said as Oracle Lord turned the explosion into a purple ball of light and Reiji gained some life points. "I gain seven thousand life points" Reiji said as his life points increased (LP 200-7200). "Impossible" Barrett said "resume battle go D'Arc Oracle Charge" Reiji said as D'Arc stabbed Panther Warrior with her sword destroying it and decreasing Barrett life points (LP 1600-800). "This will finish it I attack Dark Sentinel with D/D/D Tell, the Marksman Lord Forbidden Break Shot!" Reiji said as Marksman fired an arrow which disappeared.
"It disappeared" Barrett said as his monster broke down and exploded causing him to fall down and the rest of his life points drop down to zero (LP 800-0). "Hmph I better see if Masumi finished off her duel with Serena" Reiji said as he walked out of the area.
Meanwhile back with Yuzu she was about to finish up her duel with Mikiyo she had Aria the Melodious Divia out and she has no cards in her hands and she had one hundred life points left. "We've had a truly heated match up until now, but Naname has taken the lead" Nico announced "my turn" Yuzu said as she prepared to draw "the match hasn't been decided yet being able to enjoy situations like this is entertaining dueling draw!" Yuzu said as she drew her card "I summon the tuner monster Fantasia Maiden Pirouette" Yuzu said as she swiped the card on her duel disk and Maiden Pirouette appeared on the field (*2: ATK/800). "Now I tune my level four Aria the Melodious Diva with my Maiden Pirouette" Yuzu said as Pirouette spin around and gained two rings which Aria entered in as she gained a outline and the lines shot through the rings.
"I synchro summon appear Fantasia Primia Flute Mistress" Yuzu said as a monster that looked similar to Sonata but had pink hair but her dress was white with musical notes (*6: ATK/2000). "Woah Yuzu had synchro summoned" Nico announced meanwhile Yugo got out of his funk as he saw the cword cheer for Yuzu and he remember Yuto's final words to him. "Duels with smiles with your power I'm sure you can unite everyone and give everybody a better future" Yuto said to Yugo. He then saw Yuzu ran and got an action card and activated it. "I activate the action card Heavenly Aura with this card Flue Mistress attack points goes up by one thousand" Yuzu said as Flute Mistress attack points increased (*6: ATK/2000-3000).
"Yeah this is dueling just what the hell am I thinking like this for I should have been enjoying this duel and cheered on Yuzu" Yugo said. "Battle I attack Wingwaver with Flute Mistress" Yuzu said as Flute Mistress played her flute and fired a sound like blast at Wingwaver destroying it (LP 1000-750). "I'm not finished yet once Flute Mistress destroys a monster by battle she can attack again go Flute Mistress direct attack" Yuzu said as Flute Mistress played her flute again and struck Mikiyo causing her to be blown back as her life points went down to zero (LP 750-0). "And we finally have a winner the winner is You Show Duel School Yuzu Hiragi it truly was an amazing duel" Nico said as the field disappeared and Yuzu winked at the cword.
"Big sis Yuzu" the kids yelled "burning you're burning" Shuzo yelled as Yuzu then looked at Yugo and smiled at him which in turn caused Yugo to smile back her "heh" Yugo said as he smiled at his best friend and crush.
