Now we're here for more peace! ENJOY!
After the movie...
They walked out of there. Riley and Atem were both bright red.
"That was pretty... surprising." He admitted.
"Yeah..." Riley agreed before kissing him. "It was."
Atem kissed her back.
"I'm glad we saw that." Riley smiled.
"Me too." Atem smiled back.
"We should go home." Riley mentioned.
Atem nodded on it. Riley nodded before the two of them walked back towards their own homes. Atem entered his home.
"Welcome back little bro." Yuya smiled.
Atem nodded smiling back.
"How was your date?" Yoko asked.
"We seen a film called, 'Teardrops at Midnight'." He answered.
"Oh, was it a good movie?" Yusho inquired.
"Yeah. She said it's a romance film." He answered.
"Was it?" Yuya asked with a faint blush.
"Yeah." Atem answered. "But here's one weird thing. After I asked for the tickets the lady at the booth asked us saying what kind before saying never mind saying the other pair of tickets are for grown couples."
"Grown couples?" Yusho asked.
"Yeah. I don't get it." He answered.
"Do you know what making out is Atem?" Yoko asked.
Atem raised an eyebrow. "Making out?"
Yuya blushed slightly before whispering what it was to him. Atem looked shocked blushing himself.
"Yeah." Yuya mentioned. "So... I think that's what she meant."
"Oh yeah..." Atem blushed rubbing his head. "But me, and Riley didn't make out."
"I didn't think you would." Yusho mentioned.
"Yet." Yoko added with a smile. "As for you and Zuzu though Yuya..."
Yuya blushed before he groaned, "Mom..."
Yoko just chuckled before shaking her head. "Well, we can discuss your love lives later. Right now what do you two want for dinner?"
"Mac and Cheese?" Atem asked her.
"Is that ok with you Yuya?" Yoko asked.
Yuya nodded agreeing.
"Then that's the plan." Yoko smiled.
They nodded agreeing to that. Suddenly Yuya's eyes widened and he ran out of the house.
"Yuya?" Atem asked startled.
"Oh that's right, Zuzu's birthday is tomorrow." Yoko recalled. "He must have forgotten to get her a gift."
"O-Oh yeah. I better find her something too." Atem realized.
"I'll wait to make the Mac and Cheese then." Yoko smiled.
Atem nodded on it before running out.
"Those two are really brothers." Yusho smiled.
Yoko smiled nodding on that.
With Atem...
Atem looked around in a store to find what to give Zuzu.
"Excuse me young man, are you looking for something?" asked a male voice.
He looked to see who was talking to him. It was an old man with a small smile. "Do you need any help?"
"Oh well... Tomorrow is my brother's girlfriends' birthday, and I am trying to find her a gift." Atem answered.
"I see, well come with me. I just might have something you can give her." the old man replied.
He nodded following him. The old man led Atem into a small shop before walking and picking up a small flower made of colored glass. "Will this do?"
"Whoa..." He said in awe. "It's so pretty. Uh how much is it?"
"$50." the man answered.
"50?" Atem asked sadden. "Aw... All I have is $18. So close."
The old man looked at Atem before smiling. "You seem like a kind young man so I'll let you have it for just $10."
"Huh?" He asked surprised.
"I'm the one who made it after all." the old man revealed. "So, is that alright young man?"
Atem nodded, "Thank you so much sir." He paid.
"You're very welcome." the old man smiled.
With his gift wrapped in a special box he walked on home being careful.
'Atem.' said a voice in his head.
"Huh?" He asked.
'Have you forgotten me already? Even after all the battles we've been through together?' the voice asked.
'Summoned Skull?' Atem thought.
'Not exactly.' the voice answered.
Atem wondered.
'Skull Archfiend of Hope, remember?'
'I was just used to calling you that.' Atem explained.
'I understand.' Skull Archfiend of Hope replied. 'Still, I need to tell you something.'
'What is it?' Atem asked him.
'Thank you, for what you did for me and the others.' Skull Archfiend of Hope told him.
Atem smiled at that saying, 'I did the best I could.'
'You did more than anyone else could have. If not for you, and the others... well I just wanted to say thank you.' Skull Archfiend of Hope repeated.
Atem nodded on it.
Ring Ring Ring.
Atem answered.
"Hey Atem, do you have a minute?" Sora's voice inquired.
"Yeah Sora?" He asked him.
"I was talking to Hart and the others and we realized something. They're almost all orphans." Sora revealed.
"What?" Atem asked.
"Celina, Lulu, and Rin. They're all orphans." Sora explained. "I haven't called Yuko yet, but I have a feeling it's the same there. Zuzu is the only one with parents, and the same goes for Yuya and you."
"Yeah." Atem answered.
"Well, I've been thinking about it and if you have time this Saturday I was hoping we could get together with the others and talk about something." Sora explained.
Atem only said, "I'll think about it."
"Ok, bye." Sora mentioned hanging up.
Atem put his phone back.
A few minutes later...
He arrived back at his house gift in hand,
"Find something good?" Yusho asked.
"Yeah." Atem nodded.
"That's good." Yoko smiled.
"Is Yuya back?" Atem asked her.
"Not yet." she answered.
Atem nodded on this. At that moment Yuya ran into the house. Atem turned over asking, "Is something wrong Yuya?"
"No, just out of breath." Yuya answered.
Atem nodded on that.
"So, Mac and Cheese?" Yoko asked.
They nodded excited.
The next day...
They were heading over to Zuzu's house for her birthday. Yuya looked really nervous. Atem patted his back for comfort.
"I hope she likes this." Yuya mentioned nervously.
Atem said, "I'm sure she will."
Yuya swallowed nervously, They arrived at her house before Atem knocked. The door opened revealing Skip. "Oh, come in."
The two Sakakis walked in.
"How are you doing Mr. Boyle?" Atem asked him.
"I'm well, how are you two?" Skip asked.
"Good." Atem answered.
"What about you Yuya?" he inquired.
Yuya still looked nervous. "I'm-I'm good thank you."
"Yuya?" Zuzu asked.
He yelped turning to her.
"Is he ok?" Zuzu asked Atem.
"He's nervous." He answered.
Zuzu chuckled on that.
"Happy birthday Zuzu." Atem smiled handing her his gift.
"Thank you Atem." Zuzu smiled.
Atem smiled nodding.
"Um... here Zuzu." Yuya said nervously.
Zuzu looked over seeing he is handing her his gift.
"Thanks Yuya." She smiled taking it.
Yuya nodded anxiously.
"How's your special day been going so far?" Atem asked her.
"Great." Zuzu smiled.
Atem smiled liking it.
"I'm glad you two stopped by." Zuzu smiled.
"Me too." Yuya grinned.
Zuzu smiled seeing Yuya grin.
"How was You Show going ever since the varsity match up between it, and LDS?" Atem asked her.
"It's been doing well." Zuzu smiled.
"How is Julia, Kit, and Dipper doing?" Atem asked.
"They're doing great." Zuzu answered.
Atem nodded on it. He haven't seen those three in ages, and it wouldn't hurt for him to give them a warm welcome though they managed to find out his abused scars since his duel with Riley so he don't know what they'll say about it. Suddenly Yuya paused. "Atem, look at your arms."
Atem looked confused before looking at them. All his scars were gone.
"Wh-What?" He asked shocked. "But... scars don't vanish!"
"That's true, but people don't normally merge into crazed demons either. When you separated your scars must have been healed." Zuzu guessed.
Atem smiled. "All the painful reminders of the past are all gone. Now I feel like a large weight has been lifted from my shoulders."
Everyone in the room smiled hearing that.
"Well I'll let you guys talk. I'm gonna go see some people somewhere here." Atem told Yuya, and Zuzu smiling walking off.
"Yeah, that sounds like a..." Yuya started before his eyes widened and he turned to Zuzu nervously.
Zuzu smiled at him.
"So um... I mean..." Yuya started awkwardly.
She only kissed him startling him.
"Zuzu?" Yuya asked in shock.
Zuzu smiled before saying, "I love you Yuya."
"I love you too Zuzu." Yuya replied with his own smile.
With Atem...
Atem was looking around until he found the people he was looking for. Julia, Kit, and Dipper were in a conversation.
"Ahem." He cleared his throat.
"Huh, oh hey." Kit mentioned.
Atem gave out a wave. "It's been a while."
"Yeah, you've been through a lot right?" Dipper asked.
Atem nodded on it. "Sorry for you guys having to see that."
"Sorry you had to go through it." Julia mentioned.
"I was freed over a year back." Atem explained.
"Yeah, still you've been through more than anyone should have to." Kit pointed out.
Atem nodded agreeing with Kit. "Well their are more then that. That aside are you three doing okay ever since what happened?"
"Well... yes and no." Dipper answered.
"Is something wrong?" Atem asked.
"Don't worry about it." Julia reassured him.
Atem nodded on it before saying, "Good job on your match with Zuzu, Julia. Your's also with Gong, Kit."
"Thanks." Kit replied while Julia smiled.
Atem nodded on this.
"By the way, there's actually something I wanted to ask you." Julia mentioned.
"What's that?" Atem asked her.
"Well, one of the professors at LDS wanted me to ask if you'd be willing to have a match with her." Julia explained.
"Who's the professor?" Atem asked her.
"Her name's Mrs. Hogan." Julia answered. "Professor Sherry Hogan."
Atem nodded on it before saying, "Tell her I am willing to accept her challenge."
"Will do, but she's strong just warning you." Julia smiled. "Anyway, we were just about to leave."
I was hoping that the 4 of us could at least have some matches." Atem told her.
"Right now?" Dipper asked in surprise.
"Well I guess." Atem answered. "After the whole 'Diablo' fiasco I wasn't sure if I could continue dueling. But I think with you three, andZuzu I can have the drive."
"Huh, and what about me?" Yuya asked from behind him.
"Ah!" Atem cried startled. "Don't startle me like that."
"Sorry." Yuya apologized. "So, who first?"
"Well it's Zuzu special day so she should first." Atem answered. "And the guys given me their Archfiends since I am the main aspect."
Zuzu nodded. "I might have a few surprises myself."
They walked to the arena as they followed them.
"Ok Atem, Action Duel and you can go first." Zuzu smiled.
Atem: 4000
Zuzu: 4000
Atem 1st Turn:
Atem drew, and said "I gotten new cards sometime back. And I first play the spell card, Reincarnation of Hope. So by discarding two monsters from my hand I can add another to my hand later."
He revealed Terrorking Archfiend, and Darkbishop Archfiend.
"Next I play the spell card, Monster Reborn to revive Terrorking Archfiend, and then with my normal summon I'll summon Performapal Card Bird."
"Not a bad start." Zuzu smiled.
"Now I play the spell card Double Level." Atem added. "In exchange for skipping my battle phase all monsters I control gets their levels doubles, and count as 2 monsters when Xyz Summoning. That all together adds 4 level 8s."
"Four level eight monsters?" Dipper asked in shock.
"Now I take my four monsters, and build the Overlay Network!" Atem cried as the two split apart as they flew to the Overlay Network. "Gates of the Stars form into the Archfiend made of stars, and build together the quest to purify the dark! Xyz Summon! Rank 8! Photon Archfiend!"
Hart's archfiend appeared roaring for battle.
"Starting off kind of strong aren't you?" Zuzu asked.
"I lay a face-down. Your turn Zuzu." Atem ended his turn.
Zuzu 1st Turn:
"Ok, I'll start with 1st Movement Solo, and use it to special summon Aria the Melodious Diva." Zuzu started.
A fairy singer appeared humming,
"Next I play something new, 2nd Movement Duet." Zuzu continued. "This lets me summon two more Melodious monsters, so I choose Serenade the Melodious Diva, and Soprano the Melodious Songstress."
Two more appeared humming beside Aria.
"Now it's my turn to Xyz Summon." Zuzu smiled. "I overlay Serenade with Soprano."
The two were up to the overlay network as Atem looked a bit surprised.
"I Xyz Summon Melodious Duet Angel." Zuzu declared as two singing angels wearing identical elegant black dresses appeared holding hands.
Atem asked, "Zuzu I thought you can only Fusion Summon after Sora's teachings."
"Well I can't let you and Yuya stay ahead of me forever can I?" Zuzu asked before taking the hand of the two singing angels as they flew towards an Action Card.
Seeing this Photon Archfiend landed as Atem hopped on his shoulder as they floated up.
"I use one Overlay Unit to activate my Melodious Duet Angel's effect." Zuzu stated as one of the Overlay Units floated between the angels as it turns into a music note before vanishing. "This lets me send Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir to my graveyard to treat Duet Angel as Bloom Diva."
Upon hearing that Atem grunted.
"Now, Duet Angel treated at Bloom Diva attacks Photon Archfiend, Reflect Shout." Zuzu cried.
The Duet attacks the Xyz Archfiend as Atem hurried, and grabbed an Action Card. "I play the Action Spell, Evasion!"
"In that case, I'll set this and end my turn." Zuzu replied.
Atem 2nd Turn:
Atem drew before saying, "Okay I play Photon Archfiend's ability!"
Suddenly one of the Overlay Units was absorbed into Photon Archfiend's left arm before it began glowing.
"Huh, what's going on?" Zuzu inquired.
"Photon Archfiend uses one Overlay Unit each turn to gain the effects of an Xyz monster I name." Atem answered. "Of course I can only name an Xyz monster one time per duel."
"And the one I chose is..." He snapped his fingers before opening his eyes. "Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon."
Zuzu's eyes widened in shock.
"Now I attack Aria, and play Dark Requiem's ability to drain her of her attack points, and add them to Photon Archfiend!" Atem cried as Photon Archfiend consetrated before firing white beams at Aria.
The white beams flew towards Aria only to suddenly vanish.
"Since I special summoned Aria, not only can you not destroy my Melodious monsters in battle, you also can't target them with effects." Zuzu revealed.
"But you still take the damage." Atem reminded. "Photon Archfiend attacks Aria!"
"Action Magic, Miracle Fire. This copies Evasion." Zuzu countered.
Photon Archfiend's attack missed. "I end my turn." Atem said.
Zuzu 2nd Turn:
"I play the second effect of 2nd Movement Duet, banishing it to draw two cards." Zuzu started.
She drew twice, and looked.
"Perfect, I win Atem." Zuzu smiled.
Atem raised an eyebrow.
"I activate the spell card Lullaby Song, this banishes one monster on your field." Zuzu stated.
Photon Archfiend roared as Atem jumped off before he vanished as he reached for a ledge... but he missed to grab it as he widen his eyes falling. Suddenly something caught Atem.
"Huh?" He looked to see who.
It was Bloom Prima.
"Whew thanks." Atem smiled at her.
"Are you ok?" Zuzu asked.
"Yeah I am." He answered.
Zuzu nodded. "Ok, then Bloom Prima attack Atem's life points directly twice."
At that saying Bloom Diva placed him on the ground before sending his two music notes that hit him which didn't made harm. (Atem: 0200) At that saying Bloom Prima placed him on the ground before sending his two music notes as he dodged the attacks, and tried not to get him before seeing an Action Card, and grabbed it. "I play Evasion!"
"Sorry Atem, I have Crush Action." Zuzu revealed. "Good game?"
Atem looked surprised as the notes hit.
Atem: 0000
Zuzu: 4000
Winner Zuzu.
"Didn't even scored a single point of damage." Atem said awe-struck.
"I had the element of surprise." Zuzu smiled.
Atem looked before nodding getting up.
"So who's next little brother?" Yuya asked.
"All three of the Leo Students I guess." Atem answered.
"You want to duel all of us at once?" Dipper asked in surprise.
"I mean that's fine with us, so you get 12000 points then?" Kit guessed.
"That would be fair." Julia agreed.
Atem nodded as they walked to get set.
"What do you think Yuya?" Zuzu asked.
"Well Shay told me once he beat all of them in one single move." Yuya answered. "I think they shouldn't be that hard for Atem to beat."
"You might be surprised." Dipper pointed out.
They all got ready.
"Action Field, Crystal Corridor activated." The computer announced.
"Ok, so if nobody minds I'll take the first turn." Julia said calmly.
All three nodded.
Atem: 12000
Kit: 4000
Julia: 4000
Dipper: 4000
Julia 1st Turn:
"Ok, I'll start by playing the spell card Gem-Knight Fusion and using it to combine Gem-Knight Alexandrite, Gem-Knight Emerald, and Gem-Knight Obsidian." Julia stated. "Gem with facets of day and night! Brilliant emerald of good fortune! Sharp jet-black darkness! In a whirlpool of light, combine to bring forth a new dazzling radiance! Fusion Summon! This is my true ace! Dazzling lady, Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond!"
A woman with helds a rapier appeared for battle.
"Next I'll summon Gem-Knight Lapis, and I can use Brilliant Diamond's effect to send Gem-Knight Lapis to the graveyard and summon Gem-Knight Master Diamond in her place." Julia stated as her other Diamond appeared. "Now with that done I have four Gem-Knights in the graveyard so Master Diamond gains 400 points for a total of 3300. That's all."
The two Fusion Knights appeared.
Atem 1st Turn:
Atem drew, and said "I activate Polymerization, and fuse Terrorking Archfiend, and Skull Archfiend of Lightning!" The two archfiends appeared fusing.
"Fusion, alright then." Julia noted.
"Archfiend of the cursed toys rise for the vengence of the inferno you worked upon! With the power of your Life Giving may all know your terror! Fusion Summon! Level 7! Toymaker Archfiend!" Atem cried as Sora's Archfiend appeared roaring.
"Impressive, but your new monster is weaker than both of mine." Julia pointed out.
"True but he has one useful power. By discarding a card a Toy Token appeared on the field on whichever attribute, and type I chose. In that case I pick Earth, and Rock." Atem revealed. "And as long as their is one Toymaker Archfiend can't be destroyed by spells or traps. Or by battle."
"Alright then." Kit mentioned calmly.
A earth toy appeared for defense. "Next I play Heart of Clear Water on the Token. So now he can't be destroyed by battle or by effects."
"In other words your monsters are completely safe." Dipper noted.
Atem nodded. "Now I lay a face-down. Your go."
Kit 1st Turn:
"Ok, lets see here." Kit said looking at his hand. "Ok, I think I'll start by summoning XX-Saber Boggart Knight, and use it's effect to summon XX_Saber Fulhelmknight, and then since I have two X-Sabers I can summon two XX-Saber Faultrolls."
Atem nodded on it.
"Now I'll tune Faultroll and Fulhelmknight." Kit continued. "Let your silver armor shine and crush the hope of everything that opposes you! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 9! XX-Saber Gottoms! Then I'll use my second Faultroll to bring back Fulhelmknight, and tune them together to summon another XX-Saber Gottoms."
The two Synchros appeared for battle.
"Then I'll set these two and end my move." Kit said calmly.
Atem 2nd Turn:
Atem drew, and said "I play the spell card Pot of Greed. This allows me to draw two cards, and next I play Double Summon to summon Hallohallo, and Infernalqueen Archfiend." The two appeared.
"That can only mean one thing." Kit noted.
"Tune!" The two tuned as he chanted, "The beating pulse of the new ruler, emerge from within the chaos! Synchro Summon! With pride, Chaos King Archfiend!"
The Synchro Archfiend appeared ready.
"Wonderful." Kit said. "Then it's pretty obvious what's next."
"I end my turn." Atem said.
Dipper 1st Turn:
"Alright, I think I'll start things off by using the effect of Constellar Siat, since you have monsters and I don't I can summon him, then I'll summon Constellar Pollux." Dipper stated. "Then his effect lets me summon another Constellar monster this turn so I'll summon Constellar Algiedi in attack mode."
The three appeared.
"Then since I summon Algiedi his effect lets me summon another Constellar monster and I choose Constellar Kaus. Then Kaus can increase the level of my Constellar monsters by one twice so I'll increase Kaus and Algiedi to level five and overlay them." Dipper stated. "Light of the stars, descend and shake this very earth! Xyz Summon! Rank 5! Constellar Pleiades!"
The Xyz appeared on the field.
"Next, the spell card Constellar Twinkle which boosts Constellar Pollux from level four to level six, and Constellar Siat can copy the level of another Constellar monster on my field, which means it's now level six." Dipper continued. "Now I overlay level six Constallar Pollux and Constellar Siat."
The two flew to the Overlay Network.
"Rain down your dazzling light! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 6! Constellar Ptolemys M7!" Dipper chanted before smirking. "Your monsters are strong but they do have one flaw."
"Correction yours have one." Atem said before showing his face-down which was Threatening Roar.
"Whoever said I wanted to attack?" Dipper asked. "Constellar Pleiades and Constellar Ptolemys M7 both can use an Overlay Unit to return one card on the field to the owners hand, so I'll return your Toymaker Archfiend and Chaos King Archfiend to your hand. Of course since they were summoned from the Extra Deck and can't be in your hand, they go back there instead."
"Well you wasted those units." Atem told him.
"What do you mean?" Dipper questioned. "Your monsters can't be destroyed but they can be removed from the field."
"I meant for this." Atem said showing a card in his hand. "Overlaying Malfunction. What this does is prevents you from activating your Xyz Monster's effects from the rest of the duel."
"What?" Dipper asked in shock before looking at his two monsters. "I end my turn."
Atem 3rd Turn:
Atem drew, and said "Card of Sanctity."
The three of them nodded as they all drew their cards.
"Now I set Scale 3 Kiyoki, and Scale 8 Okojiki to set the Pendulum Scale!" Atem cried setting them.
"New Pendulum cards?" Yuya asked in surprise.
Two fiends appeared on the scale.
"Now I Pendulum Summon, Skull Archfiend of Hope, and Archfiend Eccentrick!" Atem cried as the two appeared,
'Almost time.' Kit thought staring at the monsters.
"Now I play Kiyoki's Pendulum Effect. I can chose any monster on my field to have his level, and counts as any number of monsters for Xyz Summoning." Atem revealed. "I chose Archfiend Eccentrick, and counts as 4!"
"Then that means you're Xyz Summoning, just like I thought." Dipper noted.
"Now I overlay Eccentrick!" The fiend flew up.
"Gates of the Stars form into the Archfiend made of stars, and build together the quest to purify the dark! Xyz Summon! Rank 8! Photon Archfiend!"
Hart's archfiend appeared roaring for battle.
"You fell for it." Kit smirked.
"Hmm?" Atem asked him.
"I play the trap card Summon Dominance, now only the strongest Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Monster in play is allowed to attack or activate any abilities." Kit revealed.
"Photon Archfiend has over 4000 attack points." Atem revealed.
"That still locks up your Synchro and Fusion monsters." Kit pointed out. "Plus you already negated the effects of Dipper's monsters so this only hurts you."
"Perhaps, perhaps not." Atem told him.
"We'll see, this duel is still far from over." Dipper pointed out.
"Well I'll activate Okojiki's Pendulum Effect." Atem said. "When I have 2 monsters summoned from the Extra Deck on my field, I can add two cards to my hand."
"I play a counter trap, XX-Saber Training and it lets Julia send one monster to her graveyard to give Gottoms an extra 1000 points." Kit revealed.
"In that case I'll send Gem-Knight Lazuli to my graveyard." Julia stated.
Gottoms: (ATK: 3100 + 1000 = 4100)
Atem still added the two cards to his hand.
"And I'll play it. Ritual of the Matador." Atem told them.
"So now you have five Archfiends." Kit noted.
"I'll tribute Skull Archfiend of Hope to summon Archfiend Matador!" Atem cried, as the Pendulum Archfiend was replaced with the Ritual Archfiend.
"Huh, why did you give up your ace monster Atem?" Yuya asked.
"I have a Toy Token on the field. And if he's gone Toymaker Archfiend will be vunerable." Atem answered.
"Have you forgotten, Summon Dominance negates your Toymaker Archfiend's abilities." Dipper pointed out. "The strongest Fusion Monsters are Julia's Master Diamond and Brilliant Diamond."
"Like I said 'Perhaps, Perhaps not'." Atem repeated before crying out, "Now I play Photon Archfiend's ability! He can use the effects of a Xyz Monster I named only one time during the duel. And I chose the power of Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"
"No way." Dipper cried in shock.
"And I'll play the ability." Atem continued. "By using an Overlay Unit he absorbs all the Overlay Units on the field, and gains 500 attack points for each one, and he gains an attitional attack for each one absorbed."
Dipper's two monsters dulled as their Overlay Units were absorbed by Photon Archfiend.
Photon Archfiend: (ATK: 4000 + (500 * 2) = 5000)
"A monster with 5000 attack points that can attack twice!?" Kit cried.
"Okay Photon Archfiend attack Kit's XX-Saber Gottoms!" Atem cried as the Archfiend attacked.
"Both of them!" Kit cried fearfully as both of his monsters were easily destroyed.
(Kit: 1200)
"That ends my turn." Atem told them playing a face-down.
Julia 2nd Turn:
"I switch both my monsters into defense mode, and set one card facedown. That's all I can do." Julia said nervously.
Atem 4th Turn:
Atem drew, and said "Now I play the spell card Share the Pain. With this all of us must tribute a monster. I chose my Toy Token."
"I choose Pleiades" Dipper said.
"I'll destroy Master Diamond." Julia said.
"My only monster is XX-Saber Boggart Knight." Kit stated.
"Now with that I'll Pendulum Summon, Skull Archfiend of Hope!" Atem cried as the Pendulum Archfiend appeared. All five of Diablo's Archfiend's appeared on the field.
"This could be going better." Kit admitted.
"Now I play the spell card Star Bringer. With this all monsters on my field gain 1 level for each monster on your fields, and Photon Archfiend is treated as a level 8." Atem told them playing his final card.
"Huh, but wait that means..." Dipper started only to freeze. "No, you're joking!"
Atem cried, "Now I take all five Archfiends, and combine them!"
The five flew as they glowed different colors.
Chaos King Archfiend glowed white.
Toymaker Archfiend glowed purple.
Photon Archfiend glowed black.
Archfiend Matador glowed blue.
And Skull Archfiend of Hope glowed a rainbow color.
"Powers of the Summoning Methods become one, and save the world from all evil! With the dimensions power you will help all of us! Integration Summon! Come on forth, Archfiend Atem of Hope!"
"That's too powerful." Kit said nervously.
"Now Archfiend Atem of Hope attack Constellar Ptolemys M7!" Atem cried as his Archfiend self fired a blast at Dipper's Xyz.
The attack destroyed Dipper's monster.
(Dipper: 0000)
"That ends my turn." Atem told them.
Kit 2nd Turn:
"I set one monster and end my turn." Kit said nervously.
Atem 6th Turn:
Atem drew, and said "I play Fairy Meteor Crush."
"No." Kit said fearfully.
"Now attack Kit's face-down!" Atem cried as the archfiend attacked.
The monster was quickly destroyed.
(Kit: 0000)
"Your turn." Atem told Julia.
Jula 3rd Turn:
"It's my move." Julia stated drawing her card only to pause. 'Am I really ready for this?'
Atem waited patiently.
Julia looked at her hand before closing her eyes and surrendering.
Atem: 4000
Julia: 4000
Kit: 0
Dipper: 0
Winner Atem.
Atem smiled nodding.
"I'm not ready, but seeing you and Yuya duel might make up for this loss." Julia smiled.
Atem nodded on it.
"Then I guess it's our turn little brother?" Yuya asked with a smile.
Atem nodded getting set.
Yuya did the same before spreading his arms out. "Ladies and Gentlemen, please join my brother and me as we amaze you with an amazing Entertainment Duel."
Atem smiled before thinking, 'Something tells me I will finally found it.'
Yuya noticed the smile and smiled back. "You want to go first?"
"Nah let the ring master make the first turn." Atem answered.
Yuya 1st Turn:
"Alright, in that case I'll start things off with scale 1 Stargazer Magician and scale 8 Timegazer Magician to set the Pendulum Scale." Yuya stated. "This allows me to summon monsters between 2 and 7 all at the same time."
His two magicians appeared readying their useful trick.
"Next, I'll set three facedowns and end my turn." Yuya said calmly.
Atem 1st Turn:
"Now it's my turn, and I set Scale 2 Hallohallo, and Scale 7 Archfiend Eccentrick to set my Pendulum Scale!" Atem cried playing the cards. "This allows me to summon monsters between 3 and 6 all at the same time!"
Yuya and his magicians nodded.
"Now I set two cards, and that's all." Atem ended.
"Not exactly, I play the trap Scale Draw, it adds lets both players draw four cards since there are four Pendulum cards in play." Yuya revealed.
They drew new cards.
Yuya 2nd Turn:
"Ok, now with that done I use my set Pendulum Scale and Pendulum Summon Performapal Odd-Eyes Synchron, Performapal Odd-Eyes Dissolver, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, and Performapal Ritual Magician!" Yuya called as his four monsters appeared.
Atem tensed at this.
"Now, which one first?" Yuya asked.
"Which one?" Atem asked confused.
"Fusion, Synchro, or Ritual?" Yuya explained.
Atem answered, "I think... Synchro."
"Then Performapal Odd-Eyes Synchron tunes Stargazer Magician." Yuya stated as Odd-Eyes Synchron became two green rings and Statgazer Magician became five stars.
'You can do summons like that?' Atem thought flabergasted by what he just saw.
"I have to keep a few surprises for the audience, including you." Yuya smiled.
Atem nodded on it.
"I Synchro Summon, Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon!" Yuya declared. "Now, Fusion or Ritual?"
'I was expecting Clear Wing...' Atem thought in his mind. "Uh... I guess Ritual."
"Alright, then Performapal Ritual Magician's effect lets me send him to the graveyard to summon a ritual monster from my deck." Yuya stated as his magician vanished. "I summon Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon!"
Atem looked at the dragon as he thought, 'Next is Fusion.'
"Finally, I fuse Performapal Odd-Eyes Dissolver with Timegazer Magician to fusion summon Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon." Yuya stated.
Atem looked at the four dragons.
"That's all for now." Yuya smiled.
Atem 2nd Turn:
Atem drew, and said "Okay. I Pendulum Summon, Skull Archfiend of Hope, with Kiyoki, Okojiki, and Archfiend Eccentrick!"
Yuya nodded.
"I guess it's my turn to ask." Atem told him. "Fusion, Synchro, or Ritual?"
"Synchro." Yuya answered.
"Then I'll have Kiyoki tune with Hallohallo!" Atem cried as Hallohallo turned to become 3 rings, and Kiyoki turned to 4 stars.
(Atem: 3500)
"Huh?" Atem asked surprised. "How did I lose points?"
"Once per turn if you play a card or effect Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon deals 500 points of damage." Yuya explained.
"Aw well. I Synchro Summon, Dark Highlander!" Atem cried as a fiend carrying a sycthe appeared.
"Huh?" Yuya asked in surprise.
"You expecting me to summon Chaos King Archfiend?" He asked him.
"Looks like we both had a few surprises planned." Yuya smiled. "So I'm guessing your Ritual Summon won't be Archfiend Matador either?"
"Correct. I'll play Okojiki's effect for me to summon a Ritual Monster without paying anything." Atem answered,
Yuya smiled seeing that.
(Atem: 3000)
"Now I Ritual Summon Chakra!" Atem cried.
"Ok, then that just Fusion." Yuya smiled.
"And I'll fuse Okojiki with Archfiend Eccentrick!" Atem cried.
'Ok, not Archfiend Toymaker so who are you going with Atem?' Yuya thought with a smile.
"I summon, Dark Balter the Terrible!" Atem cried as the monster appeared.
"So we're even, a Fusion, Synchro, Ritual, and Pendulum monster and two facedown cards each." Yuya smiled.
Atem nodded on it.
Yuya smiled. "Then please continue Atem."
"That's all." Atem said.
Yuya 3rd Turn:
"Ok, I'll attack Chakra with Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon." Yuya stated.
The dragon charged as the two ritual monsters battled before it was Gravity Dragon that claimed the edge.
(Atem: 3150)
"Next, Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon attacks Dark Balter the Terrible." Yuya continued.
The two Fusion Monsters battled as Dark Balter was brought down. (Atem: 2650)
"That's it for now." Yuya finished.
Atem 3rd Turn:
Atem drew, and said "Okay Dark Highlander attack his Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon!"
The two synchro monsters collided before Atem's emerged victorious.
(Yuya: 3700)
"Now I play Junk Barrage on Akull Archfiend of Hope." Atem added. "Now Skull Archfiend of Hope attack his Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
The two monsters attacked each other as they were both destroyed.
(Yuya: 3700)
"That ends my turn." Atem ended.
Yuya 4th Turn:
"Ok, time for dragon number five." Yuya smiled.
"Xyz." Atem said.
"Exactly, I overlay level seven Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon and Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon." Yuya stated. "I Xyz Summon Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon in attack mode."
A huge dragon appeared roaring.
"Now, Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon attack Dark Highlander." Yuya declared. "Then I use one Overlay Unit to negate the attack and summon Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon from my graveyard."
The Ritual Dragon appeared roaring.
"That's it." Yuya smiled.
Atem looked over at this before remembering the conversation he, and Yuya had sometime back.
Flashback...
"Hey Yuya?" Atem asked. "What is the secret to figuring out what your entertainment is?"
"The secret?" Yuya asked. "What do you mean?"
"To find out what entertainment you are born with." Atem answered.
Yuya smiled. "You can try several different types of entertainment dueling, one of them will just feel right."
Atem took in those words carefully.
End Flashback...
Atem thought, 'One of them will feel right...'
"Are you ok Atem?" Yuya asked.
Atem nodded.
"Ok, then what do you have planned little brother?" Yuya asked.
Atem 4th Turn:
Atem drew, and said "I'll play the spell card, Archfiend Overlay!"
"An Xyz Summon, just like Yuya." Dipper realized.
"These two are practically even." Kit mentioned.
"Now I Overlay Dark Highlander with Chakra!" Atem cried.
The two monsters flew into the Overlay Network as Yuya smiled.
"I Xyz Summon, Adreus Keeper of Armageddon!" A fiend appeared for battle.
"Not bad Atem." Yuya smiled.
"Once per turn Adreus destroys a card on your field by using an Overlay Unit!" Atem cried
Yuya's eyes widened in shock.
"I chose your Gravity Dragon!" Atem cried.
The dragon roared in agony before shattering.
"I end my turn." Atem said.
Yuya 4th Turn:
"Ok, in that case I'll have Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon attack Adreus, Keeper of Armageddon!" Yuya stated.
The two Xyz battled as Atem's bit the dust.
(Atem: 1950)
"That's all for this turn Atem, but I think we're getting close to the end of the duel." Yuya smiled.
Atem 4th Turn:
Atem drew as he looked. The only card in his hand was Ritual of the Matador, and seeing now he is completly defensless.
"Atem?" Yuya asked.
"You win." Atem told him.
Yuya looked surprised before frowning. "Atem, have you found it?"
Atem gave a smile on it, "I think I finally did."
Yuya smiled. "Then I don't accept your surrender."
"Huh?" Atem asked him confused. "I'm defenseless, and the only card in my hand isn't gonna help."
Yuya just smiled before revealing a trap card, Xyz Encore. "This card only works by sending Absolute Dragon's last Overlay Unit to the graveyard, then we both summon as many monsters to the field as we can as long as they were already summoned in the duel."
Atem now understood what he meant. "In that case I'll summon them to the field!"
Chakra, Skull Archfiend of Hope, Adrebus, Dark Balter, and Dark Highlander appeared, Yuya smiled as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon, Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon, and Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon appeared alongside Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon. All five of the fiends, and dragons are on either one's field as they stared at each other.
"Ok Atem, show me your entertainment." Yuya smiled.
Atem nodded before saying, "Okay now it's time to show what I can REALLY do! Alright Dark Highlander attack Meteorburst Dragon again!"
Yuya's synchro dragon shattered.
(Yuya: 3400)
"Your move." Atem said.
Yuya 5th Turn:
Yuya drew his card before smiling. "I play Monster Reborn to bring back Meteorburst Dragon."
The dragon appeared roaring.
"Now, I set one card and end my move. Next turn, my newest dragon will appear." Yuya told Atem.
Atem 5th Turn:
Atem drew, and said "Go Smile World!"
All the monsters on the field smiled as they all gained 1000 attack points.
(Atem: 1650)
"Now Dark Highlander attack again!"
"Trap card open, Guardian Pendulum." Yuya. countered. "If I control a Pendulum Monster, one attack is negated."
Dark Highlander's attack was stopped as Atem grunted, "I end my turn."
Yuya 6th Turn:
"Have you enjoyed our duel Atem?" Yuya asked with a smile.
Atem nodded with his own smile.
"Then it's time we end it, I release all five of my dragons." Yuya declared.
The five vanished.
"Now, I summon Odd-Eyes Inverse Dragon!" Yuya declared as a dragon identical to Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon only slightly larger appeared behind him.
"Whoa." Atem said surprised.
"And that's the end." Yuya smiled as he won.
Atem nodded standing down.
Atem: 1650
Yuya: 3400
Winner Yuya.
Yuya walked over and smiled. "Great minds think alike, don't they Atem?"
Atem nodded, "Yes they do."
Zuzu walked up to them both and smiled.
"Hope you like them Zuzu." Atem smiled to her.
"Yeah, I did." Zuzu smiled.
"Are you ready for your Birthday gift?" Atem asked.
"Yeah, I am." Zuzu smiled. "Though... never mind."
As she said that Zuzu blushed.
Atem walked to get his.
A few minutes later...
He handed it to her.
"Thank you Atem." Zuzu smiled before opening it and gasping in shock. "This is beautiful."
"Yeah. That thing cost 50 but it's maker changed to 10." Atem admitted.
"I love it, thank you so much." Zuzu smiled before gently putting it down and hugging him.
He smiled hugging her back. Yuya smiled too.
"What about you Yuya?" Atem asked him.
Yuya instantly looked nervous. "Me, um... well you see..."
"You lost it?" Atem asked.
"No, well what I mean is..." Yuya stammered.
'He's nervous, very nervous apparently.' Skull Archfiend of Hope explained.
"Don't worry Yuya. I'm sure she'll love it." Atem smiled.
Yuya nodded before handing a box to Zuzu. Zuzu took it, and opened it. It was a book of songs. Zuzu smiled before looking at Yuya. Yuya's eyes were closed and he was bright red. She kissed him... on the lips.
Atem looked away blushing while muttering, "Grody."
"Zuzu... look at the songs." Yuya said while still looking bright red.
Zuzu looked and noticed every single song in the book was a romantic love song.
"I think he wants you, and him to sing them." Atem guessed.
"No, I mean they're not duets." Yuya said quickly before pausing. "What do you mean Grody?"
"You don't know it?" Atem asked.
"No." Yuya answered.
"Well it meant it's gross." Atem answered.
"But kissing Riley isn't?" Zuzu asked with a teasing smile.
Atem blushed on it. Yuya and Zuzu laughed.
"Not funny..." He weakly whined.
Yuya stopped laughing but still smiled while Zuzu continued slightly giggling.
"Should I invite her over?" Yuya asked.
"Uh..." He blushed on it.
"Zuzu?" Yuya asked with a smile.
"I say we should." Zuzu smiled.
Yuya nodded and walked to the phone.
Fifteen minutes later...
"Happy birthday Zuzu." Riley smiled.
Atem blushed seeing her.
"Thanks Riley." Zuzu smiled.
"Well, we should head back. I'll let Professor Hogan know you accepted Atem." Julia smiled before walking out with Kit and Dipper.
Atem nodded as they left. Riley noticed Atem and smiled.
"Hey Riley." He smiled blushing.
"Hi Atem, it's great to see you." Riley said walking over to him.
He smiled at this.
After the end of the party...
They were saying bye to Zuzu.
"Thanks again for coming, you're all super sweet." Zuzu smiled.
Atem smiled hugging her, "Bye for now big sis."
Zuzu blushed hearing that as she hugged him back. He walked back to Yuya.
"Ready to head home?" Yuya asked.
He nodded.
"Ok, well we'll see you later Zuzu." Yuya smiled as the two of them walked out of the house.
While their walking home Atem said, "Not all of it."
"Huh?" Yuya asked.
"You haven't seen all of my entertainment." He clarified.
Yuya smiled. "Well I can't wait to see it."
"And I know one guy who would duel me to see it." Atem told him before saying the name:
"Declan."
Yuya instantly froze. "Atem... are you sure?"
Atem nodded with a determined face.
"Then I'll be right there supporting you." Yuya smiled.
Atem nodded smiling back.
"You know, I had a dream last night." Yuya admitted.
"What's that?" Atem asked.
"Well, it was everything we've been through so far, Zarc, the virtual world, Diablo... but then everything was peaceful and well... I have a good feeling things will stay like this for the rest of our lives." Yuya smiled.
Atem smiled back on it. "I have a feeling they will as well."
With that the two of them continued walking home.
And that's Zuzu's birthday party! Next up a match with Declan! Be sure to review!
