DECEPTION VALLEY – OUTSKIRT OF MAIAMI CITY – STANDARD DIMENSION
"So this is the place…" Yuzu stated as she, Reira, and Tsukikage arrived at the valley.
After combining the satellite in the Leo Corporation Control Room and the Dimension Pulse radar, they managed to find the exact location of the Dimension Pulse in Standard Dimension. Fortunately for them, the Dimension Pulse was located not too far from the city. The three youths didn't waste anymore time to place the other machine to extract the energies while Himika announced the danger of Zarc to the whole world after explaining everything to her, which wasn't so difficult as practically everyone has seen Zarc themselves.
Tsukikage placed the machine at the center of the valley. When the machine was activated, The gem on the machine began to shine pink in colour. The tip of the staff retracted into three pointers. A pink-coloured energy sphere started to form as the same coloured energies that looked like countless fireflies started to emerge from the ground throughout the whole valley. Various flowers started to bloom throughout the whole valley.
"All that left is to wait until ARC-V is completed. Hopefully the rest of the Dimension Pulses have been found by then." Tsukikage stated.
"Let's go back to Fusion Dimension. I'm worried how the others are faring over there. I also want to check the new cards Samejima-san is making. Those cards are maybe our only hope…" Yuzu said while looking at Yuya's goggle. There's no way she will let the others fight while she just waiting. She will fight as well. Yuya crossed dimensions and fight for her sake, this time she will do the same. She failed when she duelled Yuri, and she won't let the same thing to repeat again.
"But Leo Akaba is also in that dimension. What if we encounter him again?" Tsukikage asked, concerned as Leo still hasn't given up his goal.
"For now I'll avoid going to the core. Serena, Ruri, and Rin are fine. Ray told me that she can still sense them within the core." Yuzu was immensely relieved when Ray informed her that her counterparts were unharmed.
"Yuzu, don't you want to take a brief stop at You Show Duel School? I'm sure your father is worrying about you after you disappeared." Reira suggested. Yuya had once mentioned how worry Shuzo was after he told him that Yuzu was most likely captured by Academia. If she meet him now, he would be happy and glad. Not only that, Yuzu must be missing her father and wants to see him again. It won't harm to make a brief stop for a short time even in this situation.
Yuzu, however, shook her head in decline. "I want nothing more but to go home, but now is not the time. Every minute counts. Also, if I'm going to go back home, it will be together with Yuya." Yuzu and Yuya have made promise that they will return together. Yuya must be also miss his mother and the others. It would be unfair for Yuya if she go back and meet everyone first.
Reira closed her eyes briefly in understanding. "Okay… In that case, let's go." She told Yuzu and Tsukikage.
As they activated the dimension transfer program in their Duel Disk, Reira gave the Leo Corporation main building one last look in wonder about her adoptive mother before her body turned into particles of data and disappeared from the valley.
HARBOR – TOWN – FUSION DIMENSION
Dennis and Kachidoki landed on a rooftop of one of the few buildings that were still standing, observing the Supreme King Dragon who was in the middle of continuing his assault. Fortunately there were not many people left in the town thanks to Reiji and several of Edo's former subordinates evacuating the civilians. Kachidoki actually wanted to help Reiji more, but the Lancers leader ordered him to go to Edo and Chris in case the worst happens, which unfortunately came true. And so, now he and Dennis were standing there, preparing to fight the Supreme King Dragon.
"Chris and Edo fought, believing that a shred of Yuya and the others' souls are still inside of him." Kachidoki remarked as he watched the Supreme King Dragon.
"I also believe so. We shall inherit their feelings and carry on their wishes! We'll definitely bring them back! Both Yuya, and Yuri!" Dennis stated as he fix his glove in preparation for battle.
Kachidoki blinked at Dennis. "Even after everything, you still considers Yuri as your friend…" He stated as he recalled what happened recently with Yuri, especially Dennis' Duel against him that led to his supposed to be bitter painful lost.
"Maybe you think this is pathetic of me, but I can't help it. I can't let go of our bond. Besides…" Dennis smiled sadly as he looked at Yuri's old notebook and then recalled Yuri's Duel against Yuya, remembering what Yuya said. He wanted to believe in that possibility. No matter how little it was. "Yuri himself also hasn't completely cut our bond. That means my best friend is still in there…"
"I don't think it's pathetic. Cutting the bond with your best friend, is not something that can be done so easily… Serena also feel the same way." Kachidoki remembered the face Serena was making when she finally remembered that Yuri was her childhood friend. Her expression was that of longing. It was clear that she still cares for Yuri like Dennis does. If Kachidoki was on their shoes, maybe he'll feel the same way. While he didn't really care about Yuri, he will save him along with Yuya for Serena and Dennis' sake who were his comrades.
"Let's bring them back. All of them." Kachidoki said determinedly.
"It's show time!" Dennis was more than ready.
Kachidoki and Dennis jumped down, landing right in front of the colossal Supreme King Dragon. Despite the huge differences in their size, Dennis and Kachidoki didn't miss Zarc's eyes, the Supreme King Dragon gazed down at them. Dennis and Kachidoki felt the pressure from the colossal dragon. It was nearly unbearable, but remembering they have friends they need to save was all they need to keep them standing straight facing the dragon.
"Zarc! This time we'll be your opponent!" Dennis challenged the Supreme King Dragon.
The Supreme King Dragon dispelled his dragon form, reverting back to his humanoid form that earned surprise from Dennis and Kachidoki despite already hearing it from Edo and Chris. They decided to skip the comment and went straight to the Duel, activating their Duel Disks.
"Finally another challengers. I hope you can last longer than the other two before." Zarc told them with condescending look.
"Not just last longer, we will defeat you!" Kachidoki replied as the Action Field was activated.
{FIELD SPELL: CROSS OVER}
[DUEL!]
"Yuri, Yuya, I'll make both of you remember! Your real selves!" Dennis took the first Turn. "My Turn! From my hand, I Summon Entermage String Figure (ATK: 0 / DEF: 0 / LV: 1)!" Dennis summoned String Figure in Attack Position.
"And then I activate String Figure's other Effect! I can use this card to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster with Monsters on my Field or hand as Materials! I Fuse String Figure and Damage Juggler in my hand!" Dennis placed his Monsters into the Fusion Vortex as he began his chant.
"Acrobat that freely manipulates even the pain! Merge with the infinitely form-changing strings that connect people, and become a new witch that spurs the sky! Fusion Summon! Appear, Level 7! Entermage Trapeze Force Witch (ATK: 2400 / DEF: 1800 / LV: 7)!" Dennis summoned his Fusion Monster.
"Yuri! I know you're still in there! Look at this!" Dennis motioned to his Fusion Monster like a presenter introducing a character. "You still remember, right? Force Witch that used to be my ace Monster! Before I gain Trapeze Magician, I often duelled you with this Monster!"
Dennis tried to remind Yuri's soul within the Supreme King Dragon while he also recalling of that time when he first showed Force Witch to Yuri and Serena.
5 YEARS AGO – HIDDEN GARDEN – ACADEMIA – FUSION DIMENSION
Dennis arrived at their private little garden. Yuri and Serena were already there, the former was writing his notebook as always while Serena was taking care of her moonflowers. They stopped what they were doing when Dennis arrived and greeted them, which they returned. Dennis then all of a sudden summoned Force Witch with his imaginary nose becoming longer.
"How is it?! This is my ace Monster! Pretty, right?" Younger Dennis bragged to Yuri and Serena.
"Don't you think it's too girly for you?" Serena commented flatly.
"You're a boy, so found yourself a more masculine Magician." Yuri said with little interest in the Fusion Monster.
Dennis gaped at the lack of reaction from his two friends. "That's rude! And isn't that a discrimination against woman?! You'll hurt Force Witch's feeling!" Dennis said as he gently rubbing Force Witch's hand in comfort.
"Nope. It doesn't seem to be mind at all." Yuri said, pointing out how wide and bright Force Witch's smile as usual like nothing happened.
"Force Witch, you should be angry! At least pretend to be!" Dennis pouted. He then pointed his finger at Yuri. "Then I'll show Force Witch is more than she looks! Come on, Yuri! Let's go at it!"
Yuri closed his book and put it into his pocket. "Don't cry when I beat you." Yuri replied with sneaky grin.
"We'll see about that!" Dennis retorted.
Within the span of 10 minutes, Dennis was lying back on the ground while Yuri standing victorious with Serena watching with her mouth forming an 'O' as she watched the result between the two.
"That makes the record 15-0." Serena commented while watching Yuri helping Dennis to stand.
"You're still 100 years too early to beat me." Yuri said with a tone of superiority as he wiggled his hair.
"Hey! 100 years is too much! At least halve it!" Dennis protested, pouting even more.
Serena sweat dropped. "That's what you're complaining about?" She said to Dennis.
Dennis stopped when his violet and pink haired friend gave a pat on his head with a satisfied smile on his face.
"I admit that your Magician is great. It really suits you and your style. I'm sure you can grow more with Force Witch. I'm looking forward for our next Duel." Yuri told Dennis, praising his ace Monster.
"Yuri…" Dennis was touched, a small smile formed on his face…only for him to pout again thanks to Yuri's next words.
"But it's still too girly. Find a manlier Magician." Yuri said teasingly.
"Yuri you jerk!" Dennis had an imaginary waterfall tears hearing that.
PRESENT TIME – HARBOR – TOWN – FUSION DIMENSION
"Back then I always lost, but thanks to our Duel I can grow so much! The same also goes for you and Serena! Remember our Duel that time, Yuri!" Dennis sighed quietly when he didn't get any reaction from Zarc.
"I thought so, but I'm not giving up. I Set 1 card and end my Turn." Dennis finished his Turn.
"My Turn! from my hand, I activate Magic Card: Fusion! I Fuse Hayate the Earth Soaring Star and Kaiki the Sky Fusing Star! O stars racing through the heavens, soaring above the earth, now become one, and shine as the star of the eternal conqueror! Fusion Summon! Come! Idaten the Conqueror Victory Star (ATK: 3000 / DEF: 2200 / LV: 10)!" Kachidoki brought out his ace Monster.
"So next both are Fusion users. Interesting!" Zarc exclaimed, getting excited.
"Yuya! You have saved me from the darkness! You have shown me that Dueling is more than just winning! You've prevented me from continuing taking a path that would have destroyed me! That's why, I will save you from the darkness this time!"
Kachidoki looked at a card in his hand, Acrobat Tower. It was the card that he received from Yuya after he lost against him for the second time. This card became the stepping stone for him to get out from the shadow of Ryozanpaku's rule and allowed him to choose his own path from then on. He will bring back Yuya whom he owed so much and as his comrade with this card.
"I Set 2 cards, and end my Turn." Kachidoki concluded.
"My Turn! With the Scale 0 Supreme King Gate Zero and the Scale 13 Supreme King Gate Infinity, I set the Pendulum Scales! With this, I can simultaneously summon Monsters between Level 1 and 12! Pendulum Summon! Come to me, my Monster servants!"
Zarc summoned three Monsters to his Field: Supreme King Servant Dragon Darkwurm (ATK: 1800 / DEF: 1200 / LV: 4 / PS: 5), Violet Poison Magician (ATK: 1200 / DEF: 1200 / LV: 4 / PS: 1), and Supreme King Servant Dragon Verham (ATK: 1600 / DEF: 1200 / LV: 3 / PS: 3) all three in Attack Position.
"I activate Magic Card: Supreme King Fusion! I Fuse Darkwurm and Verham to Fusion Summon! Dragons who served the ultimate king, become one now and reborn as the hungering fangs of the deadly poison! Fusion Summon! Appear! Supreme King Servant Dragon Starve Venom (ATK: 2800 / DEF: 2000 / LV: 8)!" Zarc Fusion summoned a dragon identical to the original Starve Venom, but it has green lines on its body that similarly can be found on the other two Supreme King Servant Dragons.
"Starve Venom?!" Kachidoki was completely taken aback upon seeing the dragon. The dragon looked even more sinister and terrifying than the original Starve Venom.
"It's Yuri! He is still in there!" Dennis noted, able to conceal his shock more than Kachidoki as he leaned more towards relief, taking the summoning of the dragon as a sign that his old friend was still existing like he believed.
"That Magician also looks like Starve Venom…" Dennis chuckled as he glanced at Violet Poison Magician. "And to an extent that smug grin of that Magician is also like Yuri's…"
"Now I feel even more fired up to bring Yuri and Yuya back!" Dennis reaffirmed his resolve. Starve Venom's appearance turned out becoming a boost to his determination and spirit. He couldn't afford to lose.
"Battle! I attack Entermage Trapeze Force Witch with Violet Poison Magician!" Zarc declared Battle Phase.
"I activate Quick-Play Spell: Spring of Poison! When a Monster I control battles an opponent's Monster, I increase my Monster's ATK equal to the ATK of my opponent's Monster during damage calculation!" Zarc increased Purple Magician's ATK to 3600, higher than Force Witch.
"I activate Force Witch's Effect! When it battles an opponent's Monster, I can lower that Monster's ATK by 600!" Dennis decreased Violet Poison Magician's ATK to 3000.
Zarc raised his brow. "Only 600? Your Monster is still going to be destroyed."
Dennis opened his face-down card. "Trap Card: Trapeze Air Jump! A Magician-Type Monster I control cannot be destroyed Battle until the End Phase!"
"But you still take damage!" Zarc reminded as Violet Poison Magician lashed its whip at Force Witch who blocked it with its trapeze, though the sharp tip of the whip grazed the Fusion Monster as Dennis took damage.
DENNIS LP: 4000 = 3400
"Next I attack Idaten the Conqueror Victory Star with Starve Venom!" Zarc made his second attack with his Fusion Dragon who sent its tentacles out.
"I activate Starve Venom's Effect! Once per Turn, during Main Phase or Battle Phase, I can increase this card's ATK equal to the total ATKs of all Special Summoned Monsters on the Field!" Zarc increased Starve Venom's ATK to 8800, the dragon attached its tentacles to Violet Poison Magician, Force Witch, and Idaten as it absorbed their powers.
"An ATK of 8800?!" Dennis was shocked.
"I activate Idaten's Effect! When it battles a Monster with lower or equal Level, I can make the opposing Monster's ATK 0 during that damage calculation!" Kachidoki reduced Starve Venom's ATK to 0.
"I activate Starve Venom's second Effect! Once per Turn, during Main Phase or Battle Phase, I can steal the Effect of a face-up Monster on the Field, Extra Deck, or any Graveyard! I take Verham's Effect! During Battle Phase, I can switch the ATK of my Monster and the targeted Monster!" Zarc has Starve Venom to pull Verham from the Extra Deck and the opened the mouth on its stomach, consuming the Monster and gained its Effect. He then switched Starve Venom and Idaten's ATK, making Starve Venom's ATK 3000 while Idaten's ATK 0.
Kachidoki clicked his tongue and quickly pointed at his face-down card. "Tsk! Trap Card: The Great Wall! I I negate my Monster's destruction and the damage is halved!" Kachidoki opened one of his Reverse Cards. A wall resembling the Great Chinese Wall emerged from the ground, blocking Starve Venom's blast, but the wall then crumbled down once Starve Venom stopped its attack with Kachidoki nearly fell on his knee from the close call.
KACHIDOKI LP: 4000 = 2500
Zarc made an impressed voice. "You did well enduring my attacks."
"Look at this, Yuri! You recorded every single Duel you had and the opponents you have defeated by writing it down in this notebook!" Dennis brought out and showed Yuri's old notebook, trying to remind him how he developed a habit of writing down notes about everything he knows in regards to his opponents and their Decks, including their strategies, which played big role in Yuri's rise as one of Academia's strongest Duelists.
"You're always very diligent and strong-willed. You've always dreamed to become the strongest! You're always the better out of the three of us. You have developed a great analytical mind and is easily able to form complex plans in short amounts of time, often taking advantage of our Monsters and strategies to put them in motion. You always figuring out ways to counter strategies used by your opponents."
"Back then, you, Serena, and I, the three of us swore to become top-rated Duelists! Every day before we got separated we duelled, polishing our Dueling skill! Remember Yuri! Our feelings back then! Didn't you say you want to become the strongest Duelist?! Then you can't let yourself losing against him!" D
Zarc chuckled and then laughed, covering his eyes with his hand. "Either you are too blind to see or being foolish. Yuri wholeheartedly helped me to combine all my fragments. You know that as much as I do since you've witnessed it yourself." He reminded the orange-haired Duelist of Yuri's actions.
"He is the fragment of mine who has contributed the most in my revival. Like you said yourself, he strives to becoming the strongest in the world, which is the same wish and goal as I. Once I become the strongest and annihilate humanity, his wish shall be fulfilled. Didn't he say it himself that by turning everyone into cards, that means he will be the strongest?" Zarc reminded again of what Yuri said when he defeated Dennis.
"He is not in his right mind! That's not the way Yuri truly wants!" Dennis retorted in his old friend's defense.
"Then what is it? Becoming strong so everyone will acknowledge him? You as much as I do how everyone around him feels about him. Those wretched weaklings deserves to die if you ask me." Zarc replied calmly, but there was a venom in his tone, which unnerved Dennis.
Dennis couldn't argue with that fact. He frowned as certain memories came back into him.
4 YEARS AGO – TRAINING GROUND – ACADEMIA – FUSION DIMENSION
The students who just finished their first year in Academia were gathered in a training ground by an Academia instructor and the Professor himself. They were having an evaluation of each student's skill that will also determine their position in the future within Academia ranks. The students will be pit against each other in a Battle Royale Duel. For the first round of the Battle Royale Duel, Dennis watched Yuri amongst the first ones chosen.
He gave a silent encouragement to his friend who returned it with a smile before the Duel started. In a span of a few minutes since the Duel started, Yuri was the last one standing amongst the students who became his opponents who all were lying on the ground. Dennis then noticed the students who were watching the Duel with him were looking at Yuri with terrified faces. The students who were defeated also immediately got up and retreated back to their seats, away from Yuri. Dennis also heard a borderline slanderous whisper about his friend, which irked him.
"How did he come up with all those strategies?"
"It must be because he is a genius."
"That's right, from the very beginning he was on a different stage altogether."
"Up till now he just keeps coming up with more and more new strategies and Monsters…"
"Must be nice being a genius…"
"He is too overwhelming."
"It's scary, you know."
"Yeah, he is just too strong. Dueling against him will only break our spirits."
"If he become stronger, won't that make him too dnagerous in the future?"
Dennis was angry hearing that. Yuri's strong Dueling method was also at blame for them being afraid of him, but despite having zero inkling of just how difficult it was creating new paths, they dare to dismiss Yuri just as a genius.
During his first few days getting to know Yuri, Dennis watched Yuri duelling and duelling against him, and he admitted that he was envious of him. He thought that it was expected from a genius like him. However, this opinion changed when he happened to read the notebook. Yuri certainly has talent, but he wasn't a one in a million super genius like everyone thought him he was. He just has something that most Academia Duelists doesn't have. He was confident in his skills and always seeks to challenge others to prove his abilities and test the limits of his Dueling.
Because of this, Yuri constantly found himself in very difficult situations in his various duels and challenges which would break the spirits of most Duelists. However, he remains positive and cool under pressure, never backing down from a challenge and is always constantly thinking and evolving his Dueling. Yuri was flexible and innovative, able to break away from ordinary procedures to Duel, thus allowing him to make his own solutions when he needs to find an edge. He and Serena admired that side of him.
However, the other students thought differently in that regard.
"Yuri, congrats! You're awesome always today! Able to come up with that kind of strategy!" Dennis approached Yuri cheerfully, deciding not to talk about what the other students said about him.
"Thanks. You're also did great. Why don't we Duel after lunch as usual?" Yuri asked that sounds more like a request to Dennis as he and Yuri were walking towards the canteen.
"Of course!" Dennis said in perfect English, winking at the violet-pink haired boy. "Serena is also looking forward to hear about our class today! I bet she's going to ask for a Duel too!"
Yuri suddenly stopped his track, prompting Dennis to stop as well and turned to Yuri behind him. The boy looked down, not showing his face, and the air around him felt different. It worried Dennis.
"What's wrong, Yuri?" Dennis asked in concern, placing his hands on Yuri's shoulders. Yuri shook his head before smiling sincerely at Dennis, which shocked the orange-haired boy, especially when hearing what he was saying next.
"Nothing. It's just… I'm glad that you and Serena are here…"
PRESENT TIME – HARBOR – TOWN – FUSION DIMENSION
"I know… That's exactly why I'm fighting now…" Dennis looked sharply at Zarc. "This time, I'll stand by his side until the end! I won't leave him alone!"
"Feel free to try in futile. I end my Turn." Zarc finished his phase. At this moment, Starve Venom and Violet Poison Magician's ATKs returned to normal.
"From my hand, I activate Continuous Magic Card: Rings Air Show! When I control a Magician-Type Monster and that Monster destroyed a Monster my opponent controls, any Effect that negate damage is negated!" As Dennis activated the card from his hand, Force Witch threw two rings towards Supreme King Gate Zero, negating its Effect.
"It's time for you to shine, Force Witch! Battle! I attack Violet Poison Magician with Force Witch!" Dennis finally made his attack, pointing at the other Magician that resembled Starve Venom.
"I activate Force Witch's Effect! When it battles an opponent's Monster, the opposing Monster's ATK is lowered by 600!" Dennis decreased Violet Poison Magician's ATK to 600.
Force Witch jumped to one trapeze to the other and then delivered a powerful kick towards the poisonous Magician, destroying it.
ZARC LP: 4000 = 2200
"One down, one to go!" Dennis said as he did a high five with Force Witch.
Zarc sneered. "I won't be so happy if I were you. When Violet Poison Magician is destroyed by Battle or card Effect, I can destroy a face-up card on the Field." Zarc pointed at Force Witch.
"Say goodbye to your Force Witch." Zarc said as Violet Poison Magician's spirit appeared and then lashed its whip at Force Witch, destroying the Magician in retaliation.
"At this moment, when my opponent controls a Monster while I'm not, I can Special Summon Entermage Wind Sucker from my hand!" Dennis summoned Wind Sucker in Attack Position.
"When this card is Special Summoned, I decrease its Level by 1." Dennis lowered Wind Sucker's Level from 5 to 4.
"I end my Turn." Dennis finished and then turned to Kachidoki. "I leave the rest to you, Kachidoki."
"Yeah. My Turn! Battle! I attack Starve Venom with Idaten!" Kachidoki quickly declared his attack. Due to Idaten's Effect, Starve Venom's ATK became 0. Idaten slashed its spear against the Fusion Dragon.
"Fool. Have you forgotten Starve Venom's Effect already?" Zarc reminded, ready to activate Starve Venom's Effect to use Verham's Effect again.
"Of course not! I activate Quick-Play Spell: Star of Sight! When a Monster I control battles, it cannot be targeted by my opponent's card Effects!" Kachidoki activated the card from his hand before Idaten's slash of spear connect to the dragon.
Zarc didn't look perturbed in the least. "I activate Starve Venom's third Effect. During either player's Turn, I can return this card to the Extra Deck and Special Summon 2 Supreme King Servant Dragon Pendulum Monsters!" Zarc returned Starve Venom to his Extra Deck and then summoned back Darkwurm and Verham in Attack Position.
"Also, the ATK of all Fusion Monsters my opponent controls become 0!" As Zarc declared, Darkwurm and Verham unleashed red lightning that strikes Idaten, reducing its ATKs to 0.
"What?!" Kachidoki and Dennis exclaimed at the same time.
"This is the end for you!" Zarc stated.
Kachidoki quickly jumped to a platform, picking an Action Card and activated it. "Action Magic: Great Escape! I end the Battle Phase!" Kachidoki stopped Idaten's attack, returning his Fusion Monster back to his side.
"I end my Turn." Kachidoki concluded his Turn, ending Starve Venom's Effect, returning Idaten's ATK to normal. "Sorry. I didn't expect that to happen."
"That makes the two of us." Dennis said, a drop of sweat formed on his face. It was already hard enough for him to destroy one of Zarc's Monsters and inflict damage to him. And now, with Starve Venom's Effect, unless they negate it, Zarc can repeatedly return and summon back between Starve Venom and its Fusion Materials with the right card.
"My Turn!" Zarc's grin widened as he looked at the card he has drawn. "You have managed to endure this far, so I'll give you your reward."
"I Release Darkwurm and Verham to Advance Summon Astrograph Magician! All-knowing magician, who reads time and stars, and controls the space-time continuum. Descend now, and lend me your power! Come forth! Astrograph Magician (ATK: 2500 / DEF: 2000 / LV: 7 / PS: 1)!" Zarc summoned Astrograph Magician in Attack Position.
"It's the Monster that Zarc use to become the Supreme King Dragon!" Kachidoki recognized the Monster immediately.
"If that Monster appear that means, as Edo and Chris said, Zarc will…" Dennis quickly raised his guard up, motioning Kachidoki to do the same. Their biggest adversary will soon appear.
"By Releasing Astrograph Magician, I can banish the Four Heavenly Dragons from the Deck, Extra Deck, Field, or Graveyard, in order to activate its effect! Astrograph Magician! Become my sacrifice!" Zarc raised his hand as he Released the Magician.
Zarc's body once again was covered in thick black clouds and red lightning from the sky as he banished the four dragons from his Deck and Extra Deck. Dennis and Kachidoki were watching with a held breath, feeling unnerved.
"The ultimate dragon that governs the Four Heavenly Dragons and reigns supreme in the fifth dimension! Now, become one with me! Integration Summon! Come forth! Supreme King Dragon Zarc (ATK: 4000 / DEF: 4000 / LV: 12 / PS: 1)!" Zarc flew to the sky, uniting with his four dragons and reappeared in his Supreme King Dragon form.
"Finally it appears…" Dennis stated nervously.
ACADEMIA HQ – HEARTLAND CITY – XYZ DIMENSION
Upon their arrival, Shun, Sora, and Grace quickly explained what happened to Allen, Sayaka, and the rest of the Resistance of the danger they were in. They have them tell the refugees to gather inside the shelter, none is allowed to go out for the duration of the fight. Leaving the evacuation to the Resistance and Security, Shun, Sora, and Grace then made haste to the abandoned Academia HQ and explained straight to the point of their situation, Reiji's given order was enough to make the LDS crew to less asking and more working.
Grace and the researchers reinforced the machine to find the Dimension Pulse made by Samejima and herself while Shun and Sora went out of the base to check the evacuation process. While everyone were panicking, both the Resistance and Security did a good job in escorting the civilians without a fuss, so it was only a matter of time until everyone were gathering in the shelters, though Shun and Sora were very much aware that gathering them inside the shelters won't keep them safe for long unless they defeat Zarc.
"Kurosaki, look!" Sora pointed at the crack in the sky that showed Zarc duelling against Dennis and Kachidoki.
"That's Dennis and Kachidoki! Why are they duelling him?!" Shun looked in shock. As he remembered, Reiji never gave them order to fight Zarc, so why?
"If you ask me, they don't look well against him." Sora remarked based on the wary and nervous expressions Dennis and Kachidoki were making.
"Considering Zarc once nearly destroyed the whole world, he is a strong Duelist on a whole different level than the opponents we have faced before."
"I can't argue with that." Sora said as he ate one of his lollipops while stretching his arm up in enthusiasm. "That's why, let's help them. I'm itching to Duel this Supreme King Dragon anyway!"
Shun smiled calmly at the boy's excitement. "Don't die before we have our rematch, Fusion scum. I don't want to attend and see Yuya and Gongenzaka crying in your funeral."
Sora smiled back. "That's my line. You better not making your sister and Yuto cry in your funeral, sister complex Xyz loser." He retorted teasingly.
Shun looked at his Duel Disk. "The moment I enter the battlefield, I'm always prepared losing my life. But never once I think I'm fighting to die. I'm fighting, so I can live for another day. I won't die. Definitely." Shun looked determinedly at the Supreme King Dragon.
"Neither do I." Sora responded, steeling his resolve.
HARBOR – TOWN – FUSION DIMENSION
"When I descend, all Monsters on my opponent's Field will be wiped out!" Zarc announced as the red lightning appearing from the dark clouds strikes at Idaten and Wind Sucker, destroying them.
"And then, you will receive damage equal to the combined ATKs of the destroyed Monsters! Idaten's ATK is 3000 and Wind Sucker's ATK is 2100, Sum it up, it becomes 5100 damage!" Zarc added as Dennis and Kachidoki were surrounded by red lightning that closing at them.
"I'm not going to let that happen! When an Effect that would inflict damage is activated, I can Special Summon Entermage Flame Eater (ATK: 1200 / DEF: 1600 / LV: 4) and the damage is reduced to 0!" Dennis summoned Flame Eater from his hand in Attack Position. The Entermage Monster sucked the lightning into itself. The Monster then belched, satisfied with its meal.
"Phew. Good thing that Edo and Chris have already warned us about this…" Dennis remarked as he wiped a sweat from his head.
"Yeah. It would have been the end for us if we didn't prepare for it." Kachidoki sighed, though not fully relieved yet since the Duel still continues.
"Hoh? So you already prepare that much. Impressive. Looks like I'll be enjoying this Duel longer than the the last one. I Set 1 card, and end my Turn." Zarc concluded with a satisfied smile, excited that his opponents answered his expectation.
"My Turn! From my hand, I summon Entermage Trick Clown (ATK: 1600 / DEF: 1200 / LV: 4)!" Dennis summoned Trick Clown in Attack Position.
"I've already said my piece to Yuri, so this time, it's for you now, Yuya!" Dennis raised his arms as spotlights focused on him.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Alright, may I have your attention, on my stage there are two Level 4 Monsters! When there are two Monsters with the same Level on the Field, you know what that means, don't you…?" Dennis made a questioning gesture before flicking his finger at his two Monsters.
"That's right! I Overlay Flame Eater and Trick Clown! Show must go on! Artisan of the air, swing across the stage with grace! Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 4! Entermage Trapeze Magician (ATK: 2500 / DEF: 2000 / RNK: 4 / ORU: 2)!" Dennis summoned his ace Monster.
"So you can also do Xyz Summoning…" Zarc remarked with amusement.
"Here we are, welcome the main star of today's show, my ace Monster and partner Trapeze Magician! Trapeze Magician will show us his amazing aerial show that you cannot take off your eyes from!" Dennis monologued as he grabbed on Trapeze Magician while the Magician was flying.
"Yuya, you still remember, right? Our Tag Duel against the Ryozanpaku Duelists? The both of us delivered one of our greatest Entertainment Duels! We dazzled the audience with our flashy wonderful Dueling! Both of us promised that we will bring more smiles with our Entertainment Dueling! Remember your entertainment spirit, Yuya!" Dennis recalled his first Tag Duel with Yuya. That was one of the best and happiest Duels he had ever experienced. Despite being a spy at that time, he genuinely enjoyed that Tag Duel, and he wished to do it again.
"Entertainment…" Zarc muttered, dropping his smile as he pondered something.
"Battle! I attack Supreme King Dragon Zarc with Trapeze Magician!" Dennis jumped off from Trapeze Magician, landing on a platform.
With its master away from it, Trapeze Magician grasped on its trapeze and then jumped to another before doing a flip and then directed its foot to Zarc for a kick. Due to Rings Air Show's Effect, Trapeze Magician's attack cannot be negated. Zarc covered himself with his dragon hand, blocking the kick. As he has higher ATK than Trapeze Magician, the Monster was quickly destroyed by a crush from the Supreme King Dragon.
"When I destroy a Monster by Battle, I can Special Summon 2 Supreme King Servant Dragons from my Extra Deck! Revive!" Zarc summoned back Darkwurm and Verham.
Dennis, however, stood his ground calmly. "Rings Air Show's second Effect! When a Magician-Type Monster that I control battles a Monster with higher ATK, I take no damage and the opposing Monster's ATK is lowered equal to my Monster's ATK!" He lowered Supreme King Dragon's ATK to 1600.
Despite his ace Monster being destroyed, Dennis smiled as if has been waiting for it. "I activate Rank-Up Magic: Magical Force! I can Special Summon an Xyz Monster that was destroyed by Battle this Turn and Special Summon a Magician-Type Monster that is 1 Rank higher than that Monster by using it as the Overlay Unit then attached itself to the Monster Summoned by this Effect!"
"Show must go on! Oh magician of the sky, more magnificently, more vividly, run across the even greater stage! Rank-Up Xyz Change! Appear now! Rank 5! Entermage Trapeze High Magician (ATK: 2700 / DEF: 2200 / RNK: 5 / ORU: 2)!" Dennis summoned a Trapeze High Magician in Attack Position with triumphant smile.
"I activate Trapeze High Magician's Effect! By detaching an Overlay Unit, I can make a second and third attack during each Battle Phase this Turn! Go! Trapeze Magician! First, let's destroy Verham!" Dennis attack again with his Rank 5 Xyz Monster. The Magician, similarly as his fellow Trapeze Magicians, attack the Supreme King Servant Dragon with a kick.
"All three dragons have lower ATKs than Trapeze High Magician. Due to Rings Air Show Zarc will receive damage. And since Trapeze High Magician can attack up to three times, it can destroy all of the dragons. We'll win!" Kachidoki smiled victoriously, confident in Dennis.
ZARC LP: 2200 = 1100
"I would prefer to attack you for the last, but due to Darkwurm's Effect, I can't attack since it since it will negate any attack towards it as long as you control another Supreme King Monsters, so…" Dennis sighed in reluctance before pointing at Zarc. "For the second attack, I'll have Trapeze High Magician to attack the king himself!"
Trapeze High Magician jumped to another trapeze again and then launched another kick towards the Supreme King Dragon.
Zarc opened his face-down card. "Trap Card: Supreme King Shield! When my opponent's Monster declares attack on a Supreme King Monster I control, I can change the attack target to another Monster I control for the rest of this Turn!"
Darkwurm moved to the front, blocking Trapeze High Magician from Zarc. Due to Darkwurm's Effect, Trapeze High Magician's attack was negated. The Magician's kick was deflected by invisible force unleashed by Darkwurm, forcing the Magician back to Dennis' side.
"Aww…I almost got him!" Dennis pouted, but then quickly smiled at Kachidoki, giving him a thumb up. "In that case, I'll give the spotlight to you now, Kachidoki! Deliver a grand finale in my place, okay? I end my Turn."
With Dennis ending his Turn, Supreme King Dragon Zarc's ATK reverted to normal.
Kachidoki nodded. "My Turn! From my hand, I activate Magic Card: Ressurection of the Dead! I can revive a Monster from Graveyard! Come back to me, Idaten!" Kachidoki summoned back his Fusion Monster.
"And then, from my hand, I summon Entermate Thunderhino (ATK: 200 / DEF: 1800 / LV: 3)!" Kachidoki summoned the Entermate Monster in Attack Position.
"Yuya! Remember! You gave me one of your Monsters as a sign of our comradeship and so I can try a new path!" Kachidoki said as he looked at Thunderhino beside him while recalling the day he received the Monster from Yuya.
FIVE DAYS AGO – DUEL LODGE – HEARTLAND CITY – XYZ DIMENSION
It was a day after Kachidoki saved Yuya from Academia HQ's prison with the help from Kaito and Shun. He officially joined forces with the Lancers and Resistance. Although there were some who were still suspicious of him due to him formerly affiliated with Academia even though for a different reason, Yuya and his friends were welcoming him with open arms thanks to his role in saving Yuya.
"Kachidoki!" Yuya came approaching him. Even though his voice sounded cheerful, his face was still pale.
"Yuya, what are you doing? You should be resting." Kachidoki scolded the Entertainment Duelist.
"I know, but I'm thinking of giving you this before I forget." Yuya shuffled his pocket pants, taking out a card – Entermate Thunderhino, and extended it to Kachidoki.
"This is?" Kachidoki asked, not understanding why Yuya showed him this card.
"The Acrobat Tower I give to you cannot be activated unless you Release an Entermate Monster. So I'm giving this to you. Take it." Yuya said, hand still extending the card to Kachidoki.
Kachidoki was hesitant. "Are you sure? You don't really need to, I mean after what I did…" It wasn't like he didn't like the card, but he thought he didn't have the right to accept more than one card from Yuya.
"But you saved me, didn't you?" Yuya cut him off, still smiling friendly at the Martial Arts Duelist. "Also, now we are comrades, so it's fine. Everything between us was already settled too. Am I wrong?"
"Well, no… I don't have anything against you anymore…" Kachidoki confirmed. Any hostility or grudge that Kachidoki has for Yuya has disappeared from his mind completely. He felt better once he let go of his vendetta as it also opened up a new path for him.
"Then take it." Yuya placed the card in Kachidoki's hand like he did before with Acrobat Tower. "I want you to have it, Kachidoki. A card is equal to Duelist's life. I'm giving you this card because I know now that we are comrades, you'll have my back when the situation comes in battle, and I'll also have your back. I trust you, Kachidoki.
"Yuya…" Kachidoki stared hard at Yuya as he unconsciously gripped the new card he received. Noticing the miniscule movement, Yuya's smile widened and he then excused himself, retreating back to his room as Kachidoki watched him until he could see him no more.
PRESENT TIME – HARBOR – TOWN – FUSION DIMENSION
"You gave me this card because you trust me that I'll have your back! At that time I was so happy, and I swore that I won't let you down! That's why, I will answer to your trust in me now!" Kachidoki promised to himself and Yuya's slumbering soul. Even if his body would be destroyed, he will awaken his comrade's soul and free him from the darkness.
"I Release Idaten to Advance Summon Yama the Punisher Star (ATK: 3500 / DEF: 2300 / LV: 9)!" Kachidoki summoned a Monster that took the appearance of a tall, muscular man with golden eyes and long black hair donning a unique shirt that simply covers its shoulders and the top portion of its back, leaving its torso mostly exposed, the shirt being connected in the front by a black and orange material that yields an ornamental fang. It wears a full arm gauntlet on its right arm, with which it wields a large sword, and a partial arm gauntlet on its left. Its pants mirror the same color motif as his top, being mostly beige and trailing into a combat-oriented pair of black and orange sandals.
"You may be unaffected by Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Monsters' Effects, but that cannot be said to Effect Monster! Battle! I attack Supreme King Dragon Zarc with Yama!" Kachidoki declared attack with his newest Monster. Yama jumped towards Zarc, raising its sword covered in burning crimson flames.
"I activate Yama's Effect! When it battles an opponent's Monster, the opposing Monster's ATK is halved and any Effect that will negate the attack or Battle Damage is negated!" Kachidoki halved Zarc's ATK to 2000.
"I activate Supreme King Shield's Effect! By banishing it from Graveyard, I can change the target of my opponent's Monster's attack to another Monster I control and both player received the halved damage!" Zarc banished his Trap Card, once again motioned Darkwurm to protect him from Yama's slash. The two Monsters clashed, deflecting each other's attack.
ZARC LP: 1100 = 250
KACHIDOKI LP: 2500 = 1650
"I activate Trap Card: Acrobat Tower!" As Kachidoki Released Thunderhino, all Monsters on the Field and the ones in the Graveyard became orbs of colorful lights and a tall tower appeared from the ground. The orbs of lights became balls that landed on one another that seemed will fall at any time.
"Wow! This is another card you got from Yuya, Kachidoki?" Dennis looked impressed by the tower.
"Us, the three players, will draw 2 cards from our Deck and determining on what Monster cards are drawn. The tower will fall on either player and deal damage equal to 200 times the amount stacked up." Kachidoki explained the Effect of Acrobat Tower.
Zarc smiled in amusement as he placed a finger under his chin. "So the victor will be determined by a card draw?" He asked to confirm the Effect.
"Yes." Kachidoki confirmed. He, Dennis, and Zarc were all ready to draw 2 Monster cards that apparently will determine their fate. They drew 2 cards, sending the first card to their Graveyard.
"The first cards are…"
The three new Monsters standing on the towers were Kachidoki's Level 4 Nawaki the Earth Rising Star, Dennis Level 3 Bonus Dealer, and Zarc's Level 4 Darkwurm. Since both Kachidoki and Zarc's Monsters' Level were the highest, the tower started to leaning towards between Kachidoki and Zarc.
"Now, the second cards are…"
The three Duelists send their second drawn cards to the Graveyard. Three new Monsters standing on the towers were Kachidoki's Level 5 Tenma the Sky Rising Star, Dennis' Level 2 Candy Craftsman, and Zarc's Level 6 Supreme King Servant Dragon Lunarre.
They counted the total of the Levels of the Monsters that they drew. Kachidoki drew Level 4 and 5 Monsters, Dennis drew Level 3 and 2 Monsters, while Zarc drew Level 5 and 6. This means the results are Kachidoki's total Monsters' Level was 9, Dennis was 5, and Zarc was 11. With Zarc's Monsters' Levels being higher than both Kachidoki and Dennis, the tower started to fall to Zarc's side.
"There are 9 Monsters in total in both Field and Graveyard, that makes the damage you will take 1800! This is the end for you, Zarc!" Kachidoki exclaimed as the tower fell down towards Zarc and exploded into pink smokes.
"Yeah! You did it, Kachidoki!" Dennis jumped triumphantly. "With this Zarc is–"
Dennis words trailed down when the smoke dispersed and a familiar silhouette was visible. Zarc flapped its wings, blowing the remains of the smokes that also nearly blew Dennis and Kachidoki who were supported by their Monsters. Kachidoki and Dennis looked in disbelief as the Supreme King Dragon was unharmed.
"No way…how…?" Kachidoki wondered.
"When I'm going to receive a damage, I can Special Summon Supreme King Servant Dragon Lunarre in Defense Position from my hand and negate the damage." Zarc said as he introduced his newly summoned servant dragon that also resembled Darkwurm and Verham, but it doesn't have any wing and was standing with its two feet like Odd-Eyes.
"Urgh… He has that kind of Monster?" Kachidoki clenched his fists in frustration at how his attack was once again foiled.
Dennis slapped his face and sighed in exasperation. "Why when we're always so close to defeat him he manages to counter us?" He remarked as he looked at Zarc warily. "But I guess this is to be expected from the man who used to be an undefeated World Duel Champion."
"I end my Turn." Kachidoki concluded.
"Don't let that get you so down, Kachidoki! Just a little bit more and we can defeat him!" Dennis tried to stir up his partner's spirit.
"No you won't." Zarc interjected, sneering at his two opponents. "This is as far as you go." Zarc told them as he started his Draw Phase.
"My Turn! I activate Supreme King Fusion's Effect. By banishing it from Graveyard, I can Special Summon a Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck by using Monsters on my Field as Materials!" Zarc this time Fused Darkwurm and Lunarre to summon Starve Venom back to the Field in its prime form.
"Starve Venom again!" Kachidoki cursed.
"I activate Starve Venom's Effect! It gains ATK equal to all Special Summoned Monsters on the Field!" Zarc increased Starve Venom's ATK to 10200.
"An ATK of 10200…! If either one of us get attacked, it'll be the end…!" Dennis was close to panicking. Frankly, he didn't have any card to negate or avoid Starve Venom's attack. And looking at Kachidoki's reaction, he didn't seem to be faring any better than him.
"But at the very least one of us will still standing. Once Zarc's Turn end, either of us will finish him off!" Dennis thought positively, trying to remain optimistic. Unfortunately, the Supreme King Dragon was quick to ruin it.
"If you think one of you will survive, you are wrong. As punishment for damaging me this much, I will end both of you this Turn! When Lunarre is being used as a Material for Special Summoned Monster, that Monster can attack all my opponent's Monsters simultaneously!" Zarc revealed as Starve Venom spread its protruded the tentacles on its shoulders, unleashing roots-shaped wings that formed a darkish purple energy sphere at the top of the dragon's head, ready to be fired at any time.
"What?!" Dennis exclaimed, beyond shocked.
"Simultaneously?!" Kachidoki nearly lost his fighting spirit from the revelation of the Effect. But he then noticed an Action Card. He faced Dennis and tilted his head to the Action Cards across the platforms. Understanding what Kachidoki was trying to tell him, the two youths nodded.
"This is it. There is no honor greater than being defeated by me! I attack Trapeze High Magician and Yama the Punisher Star with Starve Venom!" Zarc declared, which was the cue for Kachidoki and Dennis to jump from one platform to another and picked Action Cards.
"Action Magic: Damage Banish, activate!" Kachidoki activated his Action Card.
"Action Magic: Evasion, activate!" Dennis activated his Action Card.
Zarc sneered at their attempts to stop his attack. "Did you think that such parlor tricks will work against me?! Due to my power, cards added to the hand outside of the Draw Phase will be negated and destroyed!" Zarc raised his hand up as the Supreme King Dragon unleashed red lightning that strikes Dennis and Kachidoki's Action Cards, destroying both.
"Even the Action Cards…!" Dennis looked helplessly at the Supreme King Dragon. Their last hope has been crushed like it was nothing.
"Dennis! Kachidoki!"
Zarc turned his head to the road not too far from them. He saw two boys, one with green hair while the other one with blue hair running towards them in hurry. Looking at the Duel Disks on their wrists and the fact they called his opponents' by their names, Zarc knew immediately that they were his opponents' allies and intending to help them.
"So new challengers have appeared." Zarc stated as he saw Shun and Sora coming at him before turning to Dennis and Kachidoki again. "I no longer have any business with you two. Begone from my sight!"
Starve Venom bound Yama and Trapeze High Magician with its roots before finally shooting the energy sphere that turned into destructive blast that destroyed the two Monsters. Dennis and Kachidoki screamed in pain as the blast reached them as well, blowing them away.
DENNIS LP: 3400 = 0
KACHIDOKI LP: 1650 = 0
The two Lancers fell onto the sea and drowned, their injuries and pain prevented their bodies from swimming. Zarc continued his advance, leaving his enemies to drown. Shun and Sora, who arrived right as Dennis and Kachidoki fell into the water and not seeing either two of them swimming back up, quickly plunged themselves into the water and pulled their drowning comrades back to the surface. Shun pulled Kachidoki while Sora pulled Dennis.
Once they reached the ground, Dennis and Kachidoki coughed out the water they gulped and then panting for air. Shun and Sora helped them sit and patted their back until the two started breathing properly again.
"Why are you guys fighting him? I thought you're looking for the Dimension Pulse and evacuate the civilians." Sora asked worriedly.
"I have found…the Dimension…Pulse…" Dennis explained between his coughing. "We left Reiji and Edo's former subordinates to do the evacuation…"
"We thought…we could…bring back…Yuya and the…others…" Kachidoki also explained between his coughing. "Their souls…must be…still exists…"
Shun patted Kachidoki's back. "We understand. You guys don't need to say anything anymore. Get some rest." Shun looked at Sora, who nodded in understanding. They knew what to do now.
"You have to be careful against him…Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Effects…won't work…his Monters in Pendulum Zones…have Effects that…will negate attack while he controls…Supreme King Monsters…and he can recover his LP from…the negated attack…" Dennis warned the two, slowly regaining his breathing and voice again.
"You can't use Action Cards either…Zarc will destroy…any card added…outside Draw Phase… The best way to win…is by defeating Zarc…before he the Supreme King Dragon…is summoned…" Kachidoki advised the two before coughing hard again.
"We leave the rest to you guys…" Dennis pleaded before finally letting Shun and Sora go.
"We just need to give Zarc a hard knock and that will awake Yuya and the others' souls." Sora stated as he was looking at Zarc, Duel Disk ready.
Shun nodded in agreement. "All four of them are stubborn Duelists after all. We need to be hard to get through them. Let's go!"
Shun and Sora ran ahead, becoming the next ones to challenge the Supreme King Dragon.
NEXT CHAPTER PREVIEW:
Rebellious Servant Dragon – Shun and Sora challenges Zarc who face them with another one of his strongest dragon servants that is the corrupted form of the Xyz dragon they both knew. Its overwhelming power forces Shun and Sora to take huge risk in order to defeat Zarc.

SOME OCG/TCG/ANIME/MANGA EFFECTS ARE CHANGED FOR THE SAKE OF CONVENIENCE!
Finish! This chapter was harder to write than we thought. It's a relief we managed to finish it. Before everyone ask, yes, we'll include the Magicians based on the four dragons, and maybe more other Magician-Type Monsters for Zarc. We added a new Effect for Starve Venom since, as GuestStar said, Starve Venom's Effects are not as stronger than the original Starve Venom even though it can copy the Effect from any Graveyard during Main Phase or Battle Phase along with inflicting piercing damage.
Ever since the announcement about the possible sequel, I've been receiving many PMs that requests for their ideas or OCs to be used in the sequel. Please understand to make this fair for everyone, challenging myself as a writer, and after the recent arguments I have with my partner, I've decided that if I'm making a sequel I'll do it on my own. The arguments I have with my partner in particular really gives me headaches several times already, so I prefer to write story on my own for a while once this fanfic is over.
Regarding the sequel, I already came up with the premise, the first 5 chapters, new allies and antagonists, and the ending, in case the majority vote choose 'Yes' for a sequel. If the result is 'Yes', I'll make the sequel. If the result is 'No', then I'll drop it until I get very interested in writing it.
Thank you for your understanding.
Please don't forget to review this chapter~ :D
