Greetings everyone. Been a while ever since I didn't write any stories or updating my other stoires in general. The combination of writer's block, pandemic, and other problems in real life and to be honest my lack of confidence prevented me to write. Recently, I also was into Yu-Gi-Oh! series especially Arc-V due the plot and summoning methods intriguing my interest. Inspired by some Arc-V fanfics such as The Fifth Factor, Arc-V: In the New World Redux, and the Fifth Circuit. I decided to to try my hand at writing this story as an experiment. I still an amateur when it comes to some of Yu-gi-oh! mechanics and grammars, so if I made a mistake, don't hesitate to tell me and I accept any advice. Flames would be ignored and reported immediately. Without further a do, happy reading!

Duel 1: Psychic Duelist Duo Arrival
Is another morning in Paradise city where people was busy with their own business. There also several people who known as "Duelist" who can be seen dueling with each other with their trusted deck of cards. Maiami city also incredibly famous for their amazing technology for dueling, especially their Real Solid Vision and being the place where the Action Duel was born. But that wasn't what we're focused for...
At a certain Cafe...
"There still more combination that I could think off with this..." A Young boy that around 14-15 years old can be seen pondering while looking at a bunch of decks on his table. He fair-skinned, has short yet messy hair that colored black in the back and orange in the front, has orange eyes and his figure is rather tall and athletic for a boy in his age. He also wearing black jeans, orange t-shirt with dragon claw symbol, a sleeveless crimson long coat with high collar, as well a nice pair of black and orange shoes and a red metallic headband. In his left hand, he wears a prosthetic arm that also connected to his duel disk, colored crimson respectively.
"Sir, here's your less sugar iced tea." The waiter called as he delivering his drink to the table.
"Put it there. Thanks" The boy said before giving the waiter the tip. After the waiter leaving, he sighed. "Guess I'll settle for these combos for a while." He said before taking all his decks and putting it on his long coat who revealed to be filled with supply of decks behind it while leaving one to be put on his duel disk which he proceeded to do so. He drink his tea right before he saw someone is approaching him.
"There you are Jun, Geez...!" A young girl dressing in blue shirt, blue short skirt, and dark blue coat as well wearing a pair of black stockings and white shoes appears before him. She has long, hime cut-style blue hair with yellow on the end, has icy blue eyes, white-skinned, and just as tall as the boy, who called Jun. One of her most striking features is the blue bracelet that she wears on her left hand, who has snow crystal motif on it and shaped like a glacier.
"Oh, Yuki! Sorry I was being late, I was busy trying to figure out what combos and deck that should I use today." Jun sheepishly apologized while scratching the back of his head.
"Honestly, you idiot. Reiji Akaba ain't inviting us to this city for sightseeing. We're here for participating Maiami Championship, remember?" The girl, called Yuki reminding Jun why they are here.
"Yeah, I know. That is why I need to find what deck that I shall be use on the tournament. I cannot duel different opponents with different decks each like I was usually do on the championship, you know?" Jun replies before he suddenly remember something. "Oh, right. This maybe sounds ridiculous Yuki. But, yesterday...I have a strange dream ever since watching the duel between Yuya Sakaki and Strong Ishijima." He said toward his childhood friend who raises one of her eyebrow in confusion.
"What kind of dream? Like you duelling Ishijima on Yuya Sakaki's stead?" Yuki guessed. But Jun shook his head.
"It's kinda vague. But,from what I saw, it was related to those Pendulum monsters, the same that Yuya Sakaki's own as well the usual Dystopic city dreams that I suffers everyday and by the time I woke up..." Jun explained while he took few cards from his deck then placing it in the table. These cards was colored orange like an Effect monster, but only half of it while the other half was colored green like a spell card. Furthermore, two jewels colored red and blue like a ruby and sapphire with numbers underneath them were prominent in the sides of those cards.
"Oh...this-" Yuki got out with her eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, it is." Jun replied with a nod. "Some of my cards like Purgatory Slash Magician and Purgatory Slash Magician Girl has turned into the same Pendulum Monsters like the one who Yuya Sakaki's own. I swear this is isn't just a mere coincidence after that bizarre dream. But, I'd rather didn't think too much about it." He continued before putting those Pendulum Monster cards back to his current deck.
"Did you already test it?" Yuki asked.
"Not yet. I simply have no chance to test it now. Even if I want too, it going to attract people's attention to me. That Sakaki guy already got lots of unwanted attention ever since he use those Pendulum Monsters, so I decided to against it at least for now." Jun replies before sipping his tea again.
"That's understandable. After all, I always know you're trying to not stand out that much or should I say...average?" Yuki said with a teasing smirk.
"Hey. I just didn't want people to got a wrong idea about me..!" Jun retorted just before he drinks the rest of the content of his tea then taking taking one of his Pendulum Monster card that is Purgatory Slash Magician. He's pondering why he even get a Pendulum card like Yuya Sakaki did. He really has a lot of question on his mind, but decided to save that for later.
After paying for his drink, both teenagers decided to take a walk for a while in Maiami city. Jun at least trying to locate a hotel or Inn to stay with as well a Duel school to enroll temporarily with. The Sun was slowly setting as both Jun and Yuki made their way to harbor in order to rest for a while. walking for all day is tiring for them so they decided to rest for a while until...
"You...I'll make you regret not knowing your place!"
An angry voice can be heard from one of nearby warehouses, causing the two teenagers to turn around.
"What was that?" Yuki wondered.
"Seems someone trying to picking a fight." Jun said before he got up. "Shall we check it out?"
"Hey, hey Jun. Hold your horses, we didn't know what exactly happened there and I don't want on the first day we're arrived in Maiami city we're already picking fight, So—" Yuki try to told her friend to didn't act recklessly, only Jun interupts her.
"I didn't suffer bystander syndrome like most people did. That is why I should know what exactly happened here. Let's go, Yuki..!" Jun replied before he run to the source of the voice that he just heard. Yuki merely sighed in defeat before she's following Jun as well. As the two arrives, they can see a pink-haired girl tied in twin tail being surrounded by four boys, all dressed in LDS(Leo Dueling School)'s school uniform. One of them, a boy with blonde and brown hair has his duel disk activated, clearly challenging the pink-haired girl to a duel. Jun, for some reason couldn't help but feel familiar about this girl. Especially that her face reminds him of Yuki which he found it's odd as this couldn't simply a mere coincidence.
"Is she's your relative? Both of you is look alike" Jun whispered to Yuki. Yuki simply shooks her head.
"Do you think i'm afraid just because you're in large numbers? I'll show you!" The pink-haired girl shouted before activating her duel disk, still glaring toward them.
"Look Sawatari! Someone's confident!" One of the LDS Student said mockingly, followed by laughter from his fellow students aside the brown and blonde haired boy who called Sawatari who gritted his teeth in anger by the girl's confidence before his expression morphed into a wicked smile.
"Oh, clearly what I wanted to hear! This great Sawatari shall make you regret for trying to-"
"That ain't going to be happen, scoundrel." He interrupted by Jun who quickly appears before them, with Yuki didn't far from him. To the surprise of Sawatari, his gang, as well the pink-haired girl.
"Oh, what's this? Someone's trying to be a hero to save the day? Are you realize who you're talking to?! I'm the great Sawatari! And I-" Sawatari gloated only Jun interrupts him quickly.
"The great jackass who picking up those who weaker than him. Haha, Scary." Jun commented sarcastically just as Sawatari's anger arises judging from his expression. "You guys...your outfit shows you came from that famous Duel Academy LDS, right? You ganging upon innocent girl as a display of power? Is this what the proud Duelists of LDS always doing? Man, i really expected more dignified attitude from pampered Duelists with little-to no skill like you people." He taunted while wagging his finger. Needless to say, Sawatari basically steaming with anger. His Underlings even more so.
"What did you say!? You lowlife, you dare to antagonize ths great Sawatari Shingo?! I'm LDS's finest duelist, you know!"
Jun merely laughs then turned to the pink haired girl with a rather disinterested expression, pointing at Sawatari.
"Is he always like this or he just have some effin' problem on his brain? Is this extra really that famous?"
"Famous for being a total loser, so much." The pink haired girl responded bluntly, prompting a tick mark to appear on Sawatari's head. "But more importantly. this is my Duel! I can do this by myself, so I don't need a help from random strangers suddenly butting out of the blue!"
"I'm Yujun Kazami or just call me Jun, and this blue-haired girl over here is Yuki Asami." Jun said with a confident smile while pointing out at Yuki who waving her hand to the pink-haired girl. "Care to know your name, milady?"
"Yuzu Hiiragi." The pink-haired girl introducing herself as Yuzu. "But I still-!"
"Hold your horses, Yuzu." Jun interupted her. "Since we're not random strangers anymore. It hurts me to see a lone beautiful maiden like you dueling an arrogant, random coward like this scoundrel over there. He clearly ain't worth for your time" Jun said pointing toward Sawatari who basically ready to erupt into anger anytime thanks to Jun's remark while Yuzu blushed a bit hearing that statement. Yuki simply chuckled seeing that before Jun activating his Duel Disk, indicated by the red blade-shaped(like Junkyard Dog Mk. III from Guilty Gear) hologram expanded from it. "Allow me to duel him on your stead so he know his place. Should I?"
"Well, look at that! Are you trying to be get laid by saying that? What are you? Knight that try to save his princess?" Sawatari snorted in scorn.
"No. Just a random passing duelist that itchy for getting into an action. You could call me a Bounty Hunter or something like that." Jun corrected before pointing toward Sawatari. "So, shall we get over it or are you just going to keep standing there and staring on us like a total nitwit?"
"Running off that foul moth of yours non-stop..." Sawatari growled in anger right before activating his duel disk. "Very well, lowlife! It's a good opportunity to test out my new deck! I'll show you the difference in our skills and have you-"
"Yeah, yeah. Keep talking like a Parrot Dragon and I'm here to listen. Some Ace of LDS you are..." Jun interrupted with yet another sarcastic remark, causing Sawatari getting even angrier, so does his Underlings.
"At least let me finish my sentences, dammit! FINE! If you being impatient for your suffering, then let's begin right now!"

"I'm going first!" Jun declared before activating a spell card. "First, I'll activate Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards." He said as he draw 2 cards from his deck.

"First turn and he already make a one heck spectacles about himself..." Jun thought sarcastically while looking at Sawatari with disinterested look. "What is this New Sawatari nonsense anyway? This clown seriously gives me a headache..."
Jun couldn't help that Shingo Sawatari that he facing right now was pretty much a total arrogant assh*le. Could possibly due his spoiled upbringing and Jun knows it too well since like Sawatari, he came from rich family with far more humbler disposition. Jun simply hopes he could shut him up as quickly as he could, but he felt that he need to see the proof of this so-called ace of LDS' skills that he boasted before.

"Let's see if you can still laugh once I reveal to you the effect of Mobius! When this card is Tribute Summoned, I can destroy up to two Spell or Trap Cards on the field, which means that your face-downs are done for! Go, Mobius! Freeze Storm!"

"Tch, but there still the next turn. You only prolonged your suffering and I gladly to add more just for you!" Sawatari proclaimed before activating another card. "I'll activate another spell, Tribute Carnival! With this spell, if I Tribute Summon a monster this turn, I can tribute summon another monster!

-Sawatari's Hand: 5 → 4 → 3 → 2 → 1 → 0
"Not bad, but since Threatening Roar effect is still linger, you cannot conduct battle phase this turn and also, you cannot activate the effect of Mobius the Mega Monarch either due I control no spell or traps." Jun commented while keeping his composure.
"You don't need to remind the great Sawatari something that you already said! I'll place one face-down and end my turn!" Sawatari replied with a scorn while pointing at Jun. "Now, make your move or did you scared or what!?"
"Be patient nitwit,. You don't need to shout, geez." Jun replied with yet another sarcastic tone, causing a tick mark appeared on Sawatari's head. "I'll draw." He declared before drawing a card and looking at it. ""Now, it's perfect timing for me to see what these babies can do! With the Scale 9 Purgatory Slash Magician and Scale 2 Purgatory Slash Magician Girl, I Set the Pendulum Scale!" He declared before placing two cards in the Pendulum zone, causing word 'Pendulum' to appear on his Duel Disk as two pillars of light emerges on both his sides.

"Now with this, I can summon Monsters with Levels 3 to 8 simultaneously." Jun declared before he strikes a pose "Swing the Pendulum of freedom to stir more chaos and excitement to our action! Pendulum Summon! My Monsters, into the front line now!"
A Large gate, surrounded in flames appeared between the pillars of light, with a light emerging out of it and solidifying into the form of a Monster.

"No Way...Pendulum Summon?!"
"He's got cards that are similar to that Sakaki Yuya's own!?"
"Oh crap, if that's the case Sawatari-san's in trouble!"
"Dammit! One of those Dragons has more Attack than my Mobius!"
Needless to say, Sawatari's Underlings were shocked at the sudden appearance of Pendulum Summoning out of nowhere while their leader was shocked and worried that White Night Dragon has more attack than Mobius the Mega Monarch. Meanwhile, Yuzu was gazing at Jun with an astonished expression while Yuki showing a smirk, confident Jun can win this.
"So, this is how your Pendulum summon works, Jun. Not bad." Yuki praised.
"That was just like Yuya...you also have these Pendulum cards? How's this possible? Where did you get them?" Yuzu asked in disbelief toward Jun.
"As much I wanted to tell you, i doubt you're going to believe me even I told you the truth." Jun responded.
"Sawatari! D-Did you have a plan to deal with this!?" One of Sawatari's underling asked his boss, clearly worried.
"Calm down! There nothing that the great new Sawatari can't handle!" Sawatari addressed his Underlings. trying to reassures them as well keeping his composure really hard despite being shaken by the unexpected appearance of Pendulum Cards. "I should praise you for manage to pull this kind of stunt that Yuya Sakaki's did...if this wasn't such a cheat."
"Cheat? are you out of your mind?" Jun said. "As you can see, little man. My Duel Disk is recognizing the summoning method as proper and legal. Also, I should warn you...testing my patience going to be the last thing that you ever did." He stated glaring toward Sawatari with burning gaze that makes the arrogant LDS Student flinched, but he trying to act that he isn't scared by his intimidation.
"W-What's that supposed to mean?" Sawatari replied raising an eyebrow, thinking Jun trying to act high and mighty toward him.
"You gonna see, man. You gonna see." Jun said calmly. "First, I'll activate Delta Flyer's effect! Once per-turn, I can target 1 other face-up monster that I control and increases its level by 1! So, I'll target Axe Dragonute!"
.Axe Dragonute(Level: 4-5)
"Then what?" Sawatari asked sarcastically.
"Now, I'll tune Level 3 Delta Flyer, and my currently Level 5 Axe Dragonute!" Jun declared as Yuzu, Sawatari, and his Underlings had their eyes widened in shock right before Delta Flyer take a flight surrounded by green light before creating three green rings, scanning Axe Dragonute, who following Delta Flyer inside and becoming five glowing stars.
[ Level 5+Level 3= Level 8 ]
"Y-You can-!" Sawatari got out.
"Jun-san...is a Synchro user?" Yuzu finished. Jun simply ignoring them and began to chant.
"The Mystical Dragon of the shining star! from the brightest star of galaxy, take flight and carry our hope for brighter future! Synchro Summon! Shine on! Level 8! Stardust Spark Dragon!" Jun called, as he summoned his very own Synchro Summon.

"So, you get Stardust Spark first. Here i thought you're going brought "him" first, Jun." Yuki commented.
"Who are you talking about, Yuki-san?" Yuzu asked in confusion.
"You will know soon enough." Yuki responded while crossing her arms under her chest.
"Now, Battle! White Night Dragon will attack your Mobius the Mega Monarch! White Night Destruction Blast!" Jun declared before White Night Dragon opening its mouth wide then unleash a devastating white energy beam toward Mobius.

So, I'll target your White Night Dragon! Be sunk by your own power!" Sawatari declared gleefully until he saw Jun simply wagging his finger, to his indignation and surprise. "What now!? You happy i'm going to-"
"For one who so-called Ace of LDS, you're completely stupid in every sense of word. Allow me to return your previous statement; Too early for you to celebrate because I'll activate White Night Dragon's effect!" Jun interrupted before pointing out at Sawatari. "During either player's turn, when a Spell/Trap Card that targets White Night Dragon activated, I can negate the activation and destroys it! So your Ice Rage is useless right now!"

"Now, Stardust Spark Dragon will attack you directly! Do it now, Stardust Spark Dragon! Starburst Shining Blaster!" Jun commanded before Stardust Spark Dragon's entire body shines brightly.

Jun's Hand: 4 → 5 → 1 → 0.
"Sawatari-san! Are you alright!?" One of Sawatari Underlings asked while helping Sawatari to wake up alongside his friends. Sawatari simply walk away from them and preparing to draw, despite feeling the pain across his body due being knocked to the crates earlier.
"I'm fine! That lowlife just scores a lucky shot. But, no matter what the outcome of this duel, I'm the one who going to seize the victory! Draw!" Sawatari declared before Drawing a card then activating one of his spell card.

"Once per-turn, I can target 1 of any face-up card and during this turn only, it cannot be destroyed by card effect and in-battle! So I'll target White Night Dragon with it!"
"What did you say!?" Sawatari yelled in shock hearing that.
"Negated again? Really!?" One of his Underlings added in shock.
"Stardust Spark Dragon! Protect White Night Dragon with your Mystical power! Stardust Veil!" Jun declared before Stardust Spark Dragon moves toward the front with its body glows white, generating a barrier that blocked Zaborg's lightning. Thus, White Night Dragon is safe.
"Thanks, Stardust..." White Night Dragon thanking its fellow Dragon.
"It just my job to protect my fellow comrades." Stardust Spark Dragon responded with a nod before back to Jun's side.
"You lucky bastard..." Sawatari growled in fury before looking at the cards on his hand, his scorn turns into a grin. "It's not over yet! I'll activate Mithra's other effect! Since Mithra is used for Tribute Summon Zaborg, I can do another Tribute summon once during the main phase in addition doing Normal Summon/Set! So, I'll release Zaborg in order to summon his evolved form! Zaborg the Mega Monarch!" As the blonde boy declared, Zaborg began to surrounded by lightning before he glows white then replaced by more demonic, bulkier version of himself who roared and charging more lightning in his hands as he appears

Sawatari's hand: 0 → 1 → 3 → 2 → 1 → 0
"Heh." Jun commented with a smirk seeing that. He knew what he doing, so he keep his composure.
"Laugh as much as you can! Now I'll activate Zaborg the Mega Monarch's effect! If he was Tribute Summoned, I can target one of your Monster's on the field and destroy them! So, I'll target your White Night Dragon once more! Since you can only activate the effect of Stardust Spark Dragon once, you cannot protect it anymore! Say goodbye to your precious dragon! Zaborg the Mega Monarch, Thunderstorm Crush!" Sawatari declared before Zaborg fires another lightning storm which far bigger and stronger than before. This time the attack successfully hits White Night Dragon and destroys it.
"Forgive me White night, I'll avenge you later..." Jun murmured as he watching White Night Dragon vanished before the boy gazing upon the match with steeled gaze."In that case, I'll activate the face-down that you destroyed before through Mobius effect!" Jun declared, to the shock of those who heard it except Yuki.
"H-Hey! You can't do that!" Sawatari reprimanded Jun.
"Allow me to explain first nitwit. The face-down that you destroy when you summoned Mobius before I'll activate Threatening Roar was Purgatory Lamentation! I'll explain you one of its effect! Once per-turn, if one of my Monster is destroyed through an opponent card effect, by banishing this card from my Graveyard I can special summon up to 2 monsters with Level 6 or lower from my graveyard to the field with their effects negated and had their Attack and DEF is halved! So, be revived from Graveyard in defense position, Axe Dragonute! Delta Flyer!" As he declares that, Axe Dragonute and Delta Flyer reappeared on his field, kneeling down while Delta Flyer covering itself with its wings.
.Axe Dragonute(ATK:2000(-1000)-1000, DEF:1200(-600)-600)

.Add 1 "Purgatory" Spell(except Ritual Spell) or Trap card from your deck to hand and gain 500 LP
Once per-turn, if a monster that you control is destroyed by an opponent card effect, you can banish this card from your graveyard to special summon up to two Level 6 or lower Monster(s) from your graveyard, but their effect(s) is negated and their ATK and DEF is halved.
"What kind of spell is that...!? Can be activated through Graveyard..." One of the Underlings of Sawatari's yelled in disbelief.
"A spell that can be activated through graveyard...This is the first time I saw it." Yuzu commented in awe.
"Tch...even so, none of your monster can Match my Zaborg anyway! Then, battle! I'll attack your Stardust Spark Dragon!" Sawatari declared before Zaborg raises its Fist, engulfed in lightning then smashes through Stardust Spark Dragon's torso, destroying it.
LP:
Jun: 4000(-300)=3700
Sawatari: 1300
"Stardust Spark..." Jun muttered sadly, yet still keeping his composure as he watched Stardust Spark Dragon vanished. Like White Night Dragon before, he swear he will avenge its destruction later.
"I'll end my turn with that." Sawatari declared with an arrogant grin. "I'll suggest you surrender now as none of your monster can match mine, even if you synchro summoning, I still got more Monarchs to put you down!"
"Yeah! You're going down regardless no matter what kind of move you're going to pull!" One of Sawatari Underlings added.
"Just do what Sawatari-san told and we promise we would let you go unscathed!" The second continued.
"As expected from Sawatari-san, the very Ace of LDS! He making a good comeback!" The third ended by praising Sawatari who showing a cocky smile hearing that.
BGM: What do you fight for (Nagoriyuki's theme, Guilty Gear Strive OST)
"Things just getting started, pal. My turn! Draw!" Jun declared with fierce determination before looking at the card, he smirked seeing it. "Okay, I'm going to do yet another Pendulum Summon!" Jun declared before again; the same large gate, surrounded in flames appeared between the pillars of light, with a light emerging out of it and solidifying into the form of a Monster. Jun began to chanted this time.
"The Vampiric swordsman who sleeps for million years before even the society was formed! Awoken as it's time to feast, swing your bloodsucking blade to spill the blood across the entire battlefield! Pendulum Summon! Come on, Level 8! Purgatory Blood Saber!"
As he finished, an imposing monster appeared before him, sitting on the ground calmly. He was a tan-skinned muscular samurai with samurai ponytail tied in dreads. He also wearing a black and orange coat stylized in haori with stylized kanji of 'Purgatory/煉獄' written on its back that worn over a simple red robe cinched at the waist by a red obi and three leather belts, which is likewise half-removed with long black and orange waist cloth beneath it. He also wearing black leggings with flame motif and a pair of futuristic-looking Geta sandals. Befitting for his name, he also carries an Oodachi that longer than even his body which he grasps firmly with his right hand, as well two smaller, but still long katanas sheathed neatly at the hip with his Oodachi locking into its scabbard via a mechanical apparatus in the hilt while not in use. After manifested fully, he opened his eyes, colored light blue who glows briefly right before he stands up and a demonic mask with kanji 'Blood/血' written on it formed and covering his face and finally, he taking a battle stance, getting ready for battle.
-Purgatory Blood Saber
Type: Zombie/Effect
Attribute: Dark
Level: 8
ATK: 2900
DEF: 1200
Effects:
-If this card is Special summoned, you can add 2 'Purgatory' cards from your deck to hand, but in the turn you activate this effect, you cannot special summon a monster, except for "Purgatory" Monster. If this card attacking a Monster and it isn't Destroyed, destroy it immediately without applying damage calculation. Each time this card destroy a monster and sent it to the graveyard in-battle, place 1 "Blood Counter" onto it(max: 12). Once during either player's turn, you can remove certain number of "Blood Counter" that placed by this card in order to activate one of these effect(s):

.6 Blood Counter(s): Destroy all cards on opponent(s) field(card's effect unable to be activated in response from this effect).Then, change this card to defense position and it cannot be changed until the end of your opponent's turn.
"Holy-" Sawatari gasped in shock upon realizing Jun's Monster's once again has more attack than his Monarchs. Again, all Sawatari's Underlings stunned in silence realizing once again,Jun was ready to overwhelm Sawatari.
"Another level 8 monster..." Yuzu gaped as she gazing upon seeing the imposing Purgatory Blood Saber on Jun's field, awaiting his master's command
"Purgatory Blood Saber. That was a good draw, Jun." Yuki praised.
"I'll activate Purgatory Blood Saber's effect! If he special summoned, I can add 2 'Purgatory' cards from my deck to hand! Though, I cannot special summon anything during this turn except a "Purgatory" Monster." Jun stated before he added two cards from his deck to hand.
"Tch, that means basically...you summoning those Synchro materials for nothing. Even if your Purgatory Blood Saber can destroy my Zaborg, this great Sawatari still can finish you up with his formidable deck!" Sawatari responded with his cocky smile still pasted upon his face. Jun simply laughs hearing that, to his annoyance. "What so funny?" He asked.
"On the contrary, I'll got everything that needed to finish right here...and now!" Jun replied with a smirk before showing a spell card. Said spell quickly causing Sawatari's eyes widened in shock. Said spell Portraying an altar with flames surrounding it.
"A-A ritual spell!? Y-You're using such outdated summoning method like that!? Y-You're joking...right?" Sawatari exclaimed in denial while barely keeping his cocky smile, but couldn't.
"No, I wasn't. First, I should thanking you for your gift before and good thing I have no cards in my hand before. Otherwise, you could use the effect of your Zaborg the Mega Monarch to destroy Vassal Token here. But I already figure out you're aiming for destroying White Night Dragon anyways." Jun pointed out to the Vassal Token as Sawatari realized how screwed he is by giving Jun exactly what he need for his plan. Jun proceeded to activating his Ritual spell "Now, I'll activate Ritual spell! Purgatory Invitation!"
-Purgatory Invitation
Category: Ritual Spell Card
Effects: This card can be used to Ritual Summon any "Purgatory" Ritual must also Tribute monsters from the field or your hand whose total Levels equal the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon. If any "Purgatory" Ritual monster(s) that you control destroyed either in-battle or by card effect, you can discard 1 card to return this card back to your hand.
"Purgatory Invitation?" Sawatari, his Underlings, and Yuzu wondered.
"Through this Ritual Spell, I can Ritual Summon any "Purgatory" Ritual Monsters as long I can offer the appropriate tribute." Jun declared before the same altar that potrayed in the Purgatory Invitation's card rises from the ground. "Since the monster I intend to summon Level 8, I shall release Axe Dragonute, Delta Flyer, as well Vassal Token in in order to conduct this ritual!" He declared right before the eyes of the three statues in the altar began to burns brightly. The three aforementioned materials turned into burning flames and were absorbed to the said statues. which caused the altar to glow and the ground underneath it started to crack violently.
[ Level 4+Level 3+Level 1= Level 8 ]
"W-What happened now!?" Sawatari cried out in alarm. Right before Jun chanted, his eyes glows orange briefly before he briefly removing his metallic headband.
"The Legendary Dragon wreathed in flames of hell! With this burning ritual, show yourself upon this realm and purge all of these sinners who foolishly opposes you! Ritual Summon! The representation of my burning soul, appear! Level 8! Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon!"
The altar then explodes violently, resulting a pillar of lava to erupt and blow up the rooftop of the warehouse where they are fighting blown into smithereens which causes Sawatari, his Underlings, Yuzu, and Yuki to quickly backing off to save themselves. After the pillar of lava was vanishes, a large, bipedal dragon with Dark Blue(almost close to black) scales,orange underbelly, orange eyes, and Black-colored wings with membranes that made from blue flames as well having orange spikes sprouted from its neck to tail, with the tip ignited on small fire as well wearing jet black armor appeared on the field. It letting a thunderous roar, which causes Sawatari's Underlings to hide behind several destroyed crates in terror, much to Jun's amusement as he don his headband once more.

"Using a Pendulum Summon to fuel a Ritual Summon..." Yuzu stared in wonder at the sight unfolding before her,though somehow, she can feel that she already familliar with Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon before. It giving her chills, but she decided to ignore that feeling to continue watching the duel. "Pendulum Ritual...such thing is possible too, amazing."
"Amazed, Yuzu? That was Jun's Ace Monster, Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon. The closest partner of his." Yuki explained. ""That Sawatari guy already finished now." She continued as Yuzu simply nodded as she agrees with that.
"T-That dragon was your ace in the hole!?" Sawatari asked, still in shock seeing Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon who eyeing at him, ready to crush the arrogant boy anytime he wants too. "Still, should I even impressed by that? Even then, Its attack still-" He try to pretend that he ain't impressed and scared by it until...
"Ah, ah, ah~. Allow me to activate Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon, little man." Jun interupted wagging his finger toward Sawatari. "When Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon is successfully Ritual Summoned, he gain 400 ATK for each monsters on my graveyard until the end of my turn! There are four in mine, consisted Stardust Spark Dragon, White Night Dragon, Delta Flyer, and Axe Dragonute! So he gain 1600 ATK!" He explained right before Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon roared and surrounded by orange aura before four ghostly images consisted Stardust Spark Dragon, White Night Dragon, Delta Flyer, and Axe Dragonute appeared around him. The Dragon then absorbs them to increase its power, roared as he does so.
.Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon(ATK: 2800(+1600)=4400)
"Ehhhhhhh!? 4400 ATK!? This cannot be!" Sawatari yelled comically.
"Crap! There's no face-down that can even save Sawatari-san right now!" One of Sawatari's underling pointed out in worry.
"No way...did Sawatari-san's are going to lose by another random duelist from out of nowhere!?" The second one added in denial.
"It can't be...!" The third one finished in denial as well.
"Battle! I'll attack Zaborg the Mega Monarch with Purgatory Blood Saber! Bloody Sky Slasher!" Jun declared before Purgatory Blood Saber gripping his Oodachi firmly. A Glimpse of a Gashadokuro as well various Yo-kai briefly seen through his blade as he prepares to attack.
"Ougi!" Purgatory Blood Saber proclaimed before in a flash, appeared before Zaborg the Mega Monarch that flinched in response. The Vampire Samurai didn't waste his time to execute an upward slash that launches the Monarch sky high before he jumps toward the still-flying Zaborg and started to brutally slashes him midair multiple times as Sawatari watched in horror. "Bloody Sky Slasher! JUDGEMENT!" He landed the final slash that finally slices Zaborg into two, destroying it before blood rains from above as Purgatory Blood Saber lands, the samurai letting blood rained upon his Oodachi, causing it to becoming redder in color while Sawatari gritted his teeth as he receiving damage.
LP:

.Purgatory Blood Saber(Blood Counter: 1)
"After destroying a Monster and sent it to the Graveyard. Purgatory Blood Saber gaining 1 Blood Counter. Not that it matters anymore as you're finished. Now for your arrogance, this is your punishment! I'll show you my way...to live!" Jun declared as Sawatari began to slowly stepped back in fear witnessing Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon gazing upon him. "Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon attacking you directly! Giga Hellfire Claw!" As Jun finished his statements, Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon roars before raising his right claw to the air before it surrounded by blue flames that burns violently and forming an even bigger and sharper claws made of fire.
"Wait! Waiit! WAIIIIITTT!" Sawatari comically screaming in panic, but it was too late.
"This is the end, punk! Get destroyed! Giga. Hellfire. CLAW!" Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon roared as he lunged toward Sawatari with his right claw, surrounded in flames extended in front of him. The youth didn't even finished his scream as he grabbed quickly by the dragon right in the face who proceeded to executing a powerful, fiery chokeslam toward Sawatari. The moment Sawatari getting slammed to the ground, an explosion occurs with enough power leave a smoking crater, leaving Sawatari groaned in pain and twitched on the ground.

BGM ended.
Winner: Yujun "Jun" Kazami
"Sawatari-san!" All of Sawatari's Underlings screaming seeing their fallen leader as they're approaching him. Trying to help him to stand up.
"He did it!" Yuzu cheered up though the moment the pink-haired girl saw the collateral damage from Jun's duel, she winced. "Though...even with Real Solid vision...those monsters seriously packs a punch." She's continued before realizing something's familiar as she saw Jun's face.
"Is something's wrong, Yuzu?" Jun asked.
"Well...to be honest if I look at you closely...your face resembles Yuya's for a bit. If it weren't for your orange eyes and your more taller figure and your prosthetic arm, I would have sworn you were twins or something..." Yuzu replied pointing out that Jun has some similarity with the very Pendulum Summon progenitor himself: Yuya Sakaki.
"Oh really? I doubt that." Jun responded, found that a bit odd. But before they could delve deeply into that matter, Yuki approaches them.
"Well done, Jun. Despite I wish it could be far longer than this." Yuki applauded toward Jun. "Also...again, the collateral damage." She sighed pointing out the rooftop of the warehouse who blown away during Jun's Ritual Summoning Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon before.
"Hey. You know how i'm roillin' Yuki." Jun replied before deactivating his Duel Disk. Strangely, Purgatory Blood Saber and Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon remains despite by deactivating Duel Disk, the duelist Monster's would automatically disappeared.
"Impossible...even with my new, all-powerful Deck, I, New Sawatari, lost to some no-name, third-rate Duelist...?" Sawatari spoke up, with clearly pained tone before realizing Jun's Monsters still remains despite his Duel disk is deactivated. "Also, there's some question that I was wanted to ask! W-What kind Duelist are you? Your Monster supposed to be disappear after you deactivating your Duel Disk! And back when you summoned your Dragon, you blow the entire Rooftop with it! Just...Just...who are you truly...Yujun Kazami?"
"Have you heard about Psychic Duelist, little man?" Jun asked back rather calmly.
"It's not little man! I have a name, dammit! Sawatari Shingo!" Sawatari complained. "Wait. Psychic Duelist? Well, of course this New Sawatari knews it! They are the special kind of duelist that rumored capable to materialize real Duel Monsters as well activating spells and trap cards and causing LP damaged inflicted to their opponent to become real damage and pain, even outside of a duel!" He answered right before he realizes something when looking at Jun, then Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon and Purgatory Blood Saber before repeating the process,each causes his expression to becoming paler and even paler than before. "D-Does that mean—!?"
"Correct, little man. Yes, I am...a Psychic Duelist alongside with my friend Yuki here." Jun confirmed with sarcastic clap.
"WHAAAAAATT!?" Sawatari and his underlings yelled in shock and fear, realizing who they are facing now. They clearly tremble in fear.
"Y-Yuki-san!? You and Jun-san was a Psychic Duelist? I was thought those kind of Duelist just a myth...!" Yuzu cried out in shock.
"There a reason why Psychic duelist like us is scarce in number to the point it just a mere myth, Yuzu-san." Yuki replied wistfully. "Society aren't kind to us despite our amazing power to materialize Duel Monsters from their cards to real life. They fear us for our power since we could easily kill someone with it without proper help and teaching to control our powers. To avoid being orchestrated by people, many of Psychic Duelist went into solitary confinement until they felt they can control those powers...most of time." She explained about the situation that a Psychic duelist faces. "They're trying their hardest to hide their power from people or at least, trying to keep their powers at minimum. That Sawatari guy is lucky since Jun isn't a malicious person and only activating his power only for intimidation factor. Otherwise, he's dead at any moment." Just as Yuki stated that, Sawatari's eyes widened, clearly realized that he lucky to be alive since Jun didn't have any intention to use his power as Psychic Duelist during the duel to seriously injures him, let alone killing him. Ego wounded to be damned, he at least glad he still alive as he sighed in relief.
"I'm truly sorry to hear that. Does that including both of you?" Yuzu asked.
"It is until me and Yuki's Parents who also Psychic duelist helped us to learn about how to control our Psychic Powers by sending us to a certain school for Psychic Duelist before it was closed by a certain accident." Jun explained before pointing out his thick, metallic headband. "See this Headband? This little fella designed to limit and helping me to control my Psychic duelist's power so the LP damage that I'm inflict when activating my powers is regulated to the same level as a Real Solid vision construct. Though, it also has a limit of how many powers that it can take." He continued as Yuzu nodded, understanding what it means.
"I see. How about you then Yuki-san?" Yuzu asked Yuki about how she can control her Psychic power.
"My bracelet acted the same as Jun's headband. I have this since I was born and this maybe a coincidence, but you have the same kind of a bracelet as mine." Yuki replied while showing her bracelet, followed by Yuzu who showed her own bracelet and indeed, they same but rather different in design.
"You're right..! Only it in different shapes though." Yuzu stated as she's realizing it before he saw Jun gazing at Sawatari and his underling. "J-Jun-san?" She asked worriedly.
"H-Hey! Stay away from me! Don't you know who I am?! I'm the great Sawatari Shingo, and my papa is going to be the next mayor of-" Before Sawatari could fully answer, he interrupted by Purgatory Blood Saber's Oodachi stabbing the ground nearby him, making the arrogant boy and his underlings cry out in alarm.
"Be quiet. My Master wants to talk to you." Purgatory Blood Saber warned sternly, causing the four of them to nodded nervously.
"If I could be honest, little man. You actually got quite an impressive skill in dueling." Jun stated as Sawatari simply looking at him with surprised, yet pained look. "Which unfortunately...being held back by your arrogance, endless craving upon spotlight, and your tendencies to relying too much upon outside source, and trying to tattle to your daddy when things going south for you like an immature brat." He added as Sawatari gritted his teeth in anger. But, Jun indeed has many points and it was painfully true for him.
"If you could get past that, you could live up as the LDS Ace that you always proclaim to be. So, what I can only say is...stop acting like an immature person like you does before, your over reliance upon the outside source like those Ultra Rare cards from your dad and his influence are not going save you in certain situation, obviously. Though, I doubt this going to stick on that thick skull of yours judging from your attitude alone. Same goes to your underlings too. For short, don't rely upon somebody else too much and try to do something with your own power and skills if able." He ended before turned away and take his leave while at the same time, both of his monsters is vanished as their job is finished. "We're done here, fellas. Let's get to the outside for some fresh air." As he finished, Yuki and Yuzu quickly follow him behind. Only...
"Like hell we're letting you out without getting away with it!" One of Sawatari's underling shouted as he and his fellow underling suddenly stepped forward and blocks their way out. All three of them quickly activating their respective Duel Disk.
"Guys, what are you doing!? He could possibly going to hurt you more than I did!" Sawatari yelled toward his underlings with concerned look.
"Sorry Sawatari-san...But, as your friend, we cannot let your honor tarnished by a random big-mouthed Psychic jerk like him!" The first underling replied.
"What now? Can't you see we're done here?" Jun asked calmly. Judging from the anger on their faces, its clear they wanted to protect Sawatari's and LDS' Honor. Jun admitted he impressed by that, yet he dissapointed since this making them a sore loser in Sawatari's stead by his own opinion.
"Don't get a big head just because you somehow got lucky enough to defeat Sawatari-san, you psychic punk! Like hell we're afraid to your ability!" The first underling yelled at Jun.
"You hear him!" The second cut in. "You maybe can insult us. But we ain't going to let you getting away from insulting our School and friend!"
"That is why, you'll be dueling us whenever you'll like it or not!" The third finished.
"I should admit I'm impressed...yet disappointed at the same time by both of your virtues and vices..." Jun sighed before re-activating his Duel Disk. "Good thing, since I still not have enough with that duel, so be it!" He declared with apparent excitement.
"I'll go too." Yuki added with a smirk before activating her own Duel Disk. "I simply didn't want to just stand here and watch. So, I'll be joining since it's been a while for me having a duel."
"Double that order." Yuzu declared resolutely with her Duel Disk already activated. "I'm the one who picked up fight with them in the first place, so I should Duel them as well."
"Fine by me. That's make it far better." Jun nodded.
However, before all of them began to duel...
"Hold it."
A voice suddenly can be heard, causes all of them to turned around to see a male youth around Jun's age. He dressed in a punk-style outfit, with a dull green formal shirt, dark blue tie and a red scarf on his neck, as well as a black-cape like garment with ripped sleeves and edges plus dark blue pants and black boot-like shoes. His hair was messy like Jun, albeit with different style and color, which black in the back and purple in the front, while his face was hidden behind googles and a mask.
At the sight of him, Jun felt like his heart was being grasped tightly for some reason. Unbeknownst to him, Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon was letting out a bright yet soft glow. Without another word, the masked stranger stepped in front of Jun, Yuki, and Yuzu and activated his Duel Disk.
"His Disk looks different. Not that I'm complaining but...I felt he isn't originated from anywhere in this place yet..." Jun wondered. "Why I felt he and me kinda related?"
"What? Are you their friend or something?" The first underling asked with a scorn. The Masked Duelist didn't even responded, let alone saying something.
"Aren't you quiet person or you'll maybe an emo? Either way, what did you want from them?" Yuki asked the masked Duelist. Again, he didn't say anything.
"Hey fella." Jun addressed the intruder. "Whatever your business with this guy, can you kindly wait for your turn? We're in the middle of a little discussion here."
"...I have something important to ask of these people. Please, don't interfere." The Masked duelist finally spoke without even turned around to face Jun. While Jun no stranger for helping the others as he felt he should help the Masked Duelist too, but something in that's duelist's tone convinced him to back down here.
"Well. Looks like this is something rather private, I see. Then, up yours, emo guy. Give'em hell, boss." Jun replied toward the Masked Duelist, seemingly knowing the intention of the mysterious Duelist.
"...Thank you." The Masked Duelist replied.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Yuzu complained with a scowl. "That makes two random strangers getting in the way of my Duels now, and I won't stand for it!"
Before Jun and Yukio could say anything. The Masked Duelist turned to her and grabbed her hand gently.
"Please stay back. I don't want you to get hurt anymore."
"H-Huh?" Needless to say, Yuzu turned red as a tomato. Jun giving a whistle while Yuki smiles amusingly, to Yuzu's embarassment "Hey! I heard that Jun-san! This wasn't what it looks like! Yuki-san, don't give me that kind of face!" She yelled toward them embarassed. This isn't going unnoticed by Sawatari's Underling who also laughed at her.
"Hahaha! Look at her boys, aren't she's such a dude magnet?" The second Underling commented gleefully.
"Doesn't matter. Let's get rid of that masked freak quickly. Then we can focus to make that Yujun Kazami pay." The third Underling stated.
"Yes, I heard that sir. I'll be waiting outside! Don't worry, I'm not a type who run away from a fight, so don't worry! You boys play nice~" Jun replied playfully before exiting the building with Yuki and Yuzu. In the latter case, reluctantly.
"I hope you keep your word, punk! It wouldn't take long for us to finish this duel! Just wait, Yujun Kazami!" The first underling declared before alongside his fellow underlings and the mysterious duelist, all four prepared for starting their Duel.
[DUEL!]
Outside the warehouse. The three waiting for the Masked Duelist and Sawatari's Underling finishes their Duel. Yuzu can be seen complaining that her duel interupted at least twice. Good grief, Yuki manage to calm her down before Jun opened his bag and getting a mini refrigerator from the inside, to Yuzu surprise as she saw it.
"Hey. Is that a mini refrigerator? Where did you get that?" Yuzu asked Jun curiously.
"I made it myself alongside Yuki. Mini refrigerator powered by special battery. We'll maybe do not look like it, but we're inventors too." Jun stated before opening the Mini fridge and taking three Ice cream from refrigerator then offers them Yuki and Yuzu each. "Suit yourself."
"T-Thanks." Yuzu replied slightly nervous as she taking one of the Ice cream, followed by Yuki. "Do you think we should check what those guys doing now?" She asked while eating her Ice cream.
"You really worried with the one that you picked fight with?" Yuki asked while also eating her Ice cream
"N-No! It just...I felt uh—I felt something's bad is about to happen before their duel even started. That's all." Yuzu replied.
"Something bad like what?" Jun asked as he putting back his Mini refrigerator to his bag before eating his own Ice cream.
Then Suddenly...
SFX: BOOOOOM!
Their eyes widened in shock as they're heard an explosion occurs from the warehouse where Jun was dueling Sawatari before. The Warehouse basically now nearly reduced to rubble with only few of damaged walls intact. Loud screams also can be heard from the inside.
"Great..." Jun said sarcastically yet he worried about what happened inside before decided to take a look, followed by Yuzu and Yuki. What they saw was the Masked Duelist triumph over Sawatari's Underling who all left lying on the floor, groaned in pain. The three presumably being defeated in ease by the Masked duelist, But that wasn't the one that Jun, who his eyes was widened in surprise focused for.
It was the monster that the Masked Duelist control. A pitch-black dragon that somehow reminding him of Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon. Only this Dragon was exuding an immeasurable amount of rage that could make even the angriest monster pale in comparassion complete with desire to tear apart anything on its reach apart with its claws and fangs. He admit he never felt anything like that before, but he decided to try to keep his composure intact rather than just staring at it in fear.
"Good luck Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon. That spare us from a lot of hassle." The masked dueslist said toward his Dragon, known as Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, who simply growled in affirmation before it vanishes.
"W-What is that Dragon?" Yuzu asked fearfully, largely due the dragon radiating so much fury it giving her chills before.
"It kinda reminds me of Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon. But, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon...judging from its name alone, there possibly some connection between it and Jun's Dragon. This cannot be just a mere coincidence..." Yuki wondered with unsettled look.
"H-hey...a-are you a Psychic Duelist like that Jun guy was?" Sawatari asked nervously noticing the damaged suroundings as he watched the Masked Duelist approached him and before he knows it...
SFX: SLAM! GAH!
The Masked Duelist slammed the LDS boy into one of damaged Wall that still intact. Shocking Jun, Yuzu, Yuki, Sawatari's Underlings.
"Hey! If you having a question to ask, you don't need to use physical violence, pal!" Jun called out, but the Masked Duelist ignores him.
"H-He's right! Y-You better stay away from me!" Sawatari cried out with evident fear in his voice. ""Don't you know who I am?! I'm the great Sawatari Shingo, and my papa is going to be the next mayor of Maiami City! If you-"
Yeah; again by trying to use his father status, he never learn. Seriously stupid, that's what that Jun think right before...
SFX: STAB!
Sawatari's next words were interrupted when a deformed spear materialized next to the masked Duelist and slammed next to the arrogant boy's torso, causing him to cry out in alarm.
"Listen. I will only ask this question once so you'd better answer me properly." The masked Duelist said menacingly and took out some sort of badge. "This is from LDS, isn't it?" He asked Sawatari with the same menacing tone.
"Y-yeah, that's right." Sawatari said with a whimper, his former arrogance clear vanishes. Obviously due not only find out he facing someone who capable to inflict real damage through duel once, but Twice in a row and only survived through sheer dumb luck.
"What's the connection between LDS and Academia?" He asked again.
"A-Academia? What are you talking about?" Sawatari puzzled by the question.
"Don't play dumb with me!" The Masked Duelist finally raises his voice, prompting Sawatari to flinch.
"I'm not! Everyone from LDS has a badge like this! I don't know anything about this whole Academia-thingy or whatever they called! Believe me!" Sawatari protested.
"I see..." The masked Duelist said with a sigh. "Then, we're done here."
At the moment, the Masked Duelist removed both his damaged googles and his mask, presumably caused by his duel before. The moment they saw his face clearly. Jun didn't reacted as much as Yuzu and Yuki also Sawatari and his Underling, who surprised by the Masked Duelist's true face who kidna reminds them of certain someone...
"Yuya!" Yuzu cried out in surprise.
"Jun, look at him! His face kinda looks like you!" Yuki added just as surprised.
"So...it was you...Sakaki Yuya..." Sawatari muttered so before passing out, forcing his flunkies to carry him while they limped outside as fast as they could, swearing revenge on the way which responded by a middle finger from Jun just to see their reaction to it, which as he expected: Anger. Then, Jun quickly turned away to see the Masked duelist again, who his face is now revealed. He has Purple eyes and showing a rather serious and solemn expression. Even though, he found it odd, he couldn't help but agree the duelist indeed has same face as him and Yuya Sakaki.
"Are you seriously Yuya Sakaki? I swear you're a different person. I mean, I recall he uses Performapal Deck and he isn't using an Xyz Monster." Jun commented toward the Mysterious Duelist who simply nodded in confirmation that he isn't Yuya.
"Then, if you wasn't Yuya...who are you truly?" Yuzu asked the Mysterious Duelist.
"Yuto." The Mysterious Duelist simply replied by mentioning his name; Yuto. But, before they could ask anything, Yuzu's Bracelet, followed by Yuki's bracelet shone intensely, blinding everyone presents. When the light died down, Yuto was nowhere to be found, to the shock of the three of them.
"He's gone." Yuki stated.
"I don't know how he did that. But, still...that wasn't some kind of magic trick because that's way too realistic." Jun replied while Yuzu still bewildered for what happened. At that moment, a voice from outside also frantically called Yuzu's name.
Following that, a young boy about Jun's age stepped inside the warehouse. He has dual-colored green and crimson hair of average length and crimson eyes. He was dressed in a simple orange t-shirt, green pants and magenta shoes, as well as crimson wristbands. He also wore a gold and red lined white school jacker over his shoulders like a cape and a pair of googles on his head. Jun surprised as he know who that boy was: The progenitor of the Pendulum Summon itself, Yuya Sakaki!
"Yuzu!" Yuya said with evident relief...toward Yuki as he getting closer and touches both of her shoulders. "I finally found you! Are you alright? Oh, I see you're getting a new haircut and outfit..."
"Excuse me. But, you referring the wrong person." Yuki replied calmly while pointing to the real Yuzu, who glaring at the two with jealously. Yuya gasped in shock and quickly apologizes.
"E-Eh...!? Did I? in that case, I'm sorry! I was in rush-Yeoww!" He quickly interupted by a quick smack from Yuzu's paper fan with enough force to knocking him to the ground.
"That gonna hurt..." Jun commented with a cringing smile.
"Is that how you showing your worry towards me!? You can't even differentiate me with somebody else and touches a girl that you just met without respecting her privacy! You're the worst, Yuya!" Yuzu protested before huffing. Yuki giggling, amused by her reaction. Yuya, could only giving an apologetic look while holding his head in pain,
"You previously mistaking that Yuto guy with Yuya before, woman..." Jun thought giving Yuzu a rather unamused look before he giving a look toward the boy. "Hey, are you alright?" He asked Yuya before offering his right hand to him, which the boy quickly accept before Jun helped him to stand up.
"I'm alright. I was so worried about Yuzu that I mistaking your friend as her. I mean, they nearly similar to each other up close!" Yuya replied pointing out at both girls before he giving Jun a rather suspicious look. "Uh...you ain't affiliated with Sawatari, aren't you?"
"No. In the fact I kick his ass before he could do something worse to Yuzu out there." Jun replied pointing out toward Yuzu nearby.
"Don't be rude, Yuya" Yuzu addressed her childhood friend. "It was true Jun helped me out by dealing with Sawatari."
"Oh, is That so? Thank you then." Yuya replied with a relieved tone.
"Don't mention it." Jun said before proceeding to introduced himself. "You are the creator of Pendulum Summon, Yuya Sakaki right? I'm Yujun Kazami, or just call me Jun. Nice to meet you."
"Yuki Asami. It's a pleasure to meet you." Yuki followed.
"I see. Indeed I am Yuya Sakaki, nice to meet you Jun, Yuki." Yuya said with a smile before his expression turned serious. "Very well. Now, can one of you explain to me what just happened here and why Yuzu looks so freaked out and why the warehouse is destroyed like that?"
"I wish I could explain everything now, but we are currently too mind-blown and exhausted by everything that just happened to explain things properly. Plus, it's getting late. You had better escort Yuzu-san home. I bet her parents was worried sick." Jun suggested.
"Right, dad can be more annoying than ever if he ever find out what happened today. So, better we go home quickly. Right, Yuya?" Yuzu said toward him. Yuya considered that for a moment and nodded in assent. Then, he handed Jun and Yuki a paper.
"This is address of You Show Duel School, the prep Duel School Yuzu and I attend." Yuya explained. "If you two have time tomorrow, stop by so we can properly thank you."
"Alright. Well, we guess we see you tomorrow then, Yuya, Yuzu-san." Jun replied before he took his leave, eager to return to his lodging because he exhausted for dealing with today's incident.
"Careful on the way home, you two." Yuki added before following Jun.
Meanwhile, in an unknown location...
"President, an urgent report has just come in" A man with black hair and blue glasses as well wearing a business suit hurriedly approached the officer where a bespectacled young man with grey hair, pale skin, and purple eyes was sitting. He also dresses rather casually, wearing a dark-blue sweater, white pants that end just above ankles, and white shoes that apparently without any socks beneath them,along with a red scarf wrapped around his shoulders with the ends trailling to the small of his back. This man was Reiji Akaba, the current president of the Leo Corporation and one of the strongest Duelists in the world.
"What is it, Nakajima?" Reiji asked the man who revealed named Nakajima.
"We've detected two different Duels where the energy used for summoning far surpassed the usual parameters." Nakajima replied.
"Hoh? What kind of summoning methods were they?" Reiji asked in curiousity.
"One of them was Xyz, but another one was..." Nakajima hesitated for a moment it seems, so Reiji urged his subordinate to answer quickly.
"What about the other?"
"Well, actually, the Duelist in question used three different summoning methods in their Duel, all of them possessing abnormal power. They were Ritual, Synchro...and Pendulum, President." Nakajima finally answered. Hearing this making Reiji cocked his eyebrow in surprise.
"Pendulum, you say? Was it Yuya Sakaki? No, that's probably unlikely since there has been no report of him using Ritual and Synchro. So, it's a different Duelist then?"
"That seems to be the case." Nakajima confirmed his superior's suspicion. "The report indicates that the Pendulum Summoning was of a different wavelength, but equal power to that of Sakaki Yuya's" Nakajima explained.
"I see. Can we identify these Duelists?" Reiji asked.
"Regarding the Duelist who used multiple summoning methods, his Duel Disk was connected to the Global Duel Database. I've asked the specialists to look into it so we should have name shortly." Nakajima responded. "Since the same doesn't appear to hold true for the Xyz user, we currently have no means available to eludicate his identity."
"It doesn't matter. I'm more interested in the new Pendulum user for the moment" Reiji said just before the computer on his office lit up. "Ah, speak of the devil. Let's see with whom we're dealing with."
After reading the sent file for a few seconds, Reiji chuckled.
"President?"
"Fate sure works in mysterious ways, Nakajima." Reiji said with a small smile. "Here, take a look."
Nakajima did as was asked and was surprised by what he saw.
"Yujun Kazami? Isn't he the boy you invited to participate in the Maiami Championship along with Yuki Asami, his friend?"
"Indeed. I though their past experience and their Psychic Duelist abilities might prove useful to us in the future, which is why I decided to scout those two. However, to think one of them also a Pendulum user, that was quite unexpected to say the least." Reiji said.
"But, President, there's also the fact that the readings regarding his summoning energy, especially the moment he summon this monster, who called Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon were off the charts." Nakajima pointed out at the video on Reiji's computer where Jun summoning his Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon during his duel against Sawatari. "If that's case—"
"—he and his friend might be an Academia agent, right?" Reiji finished his subordinate's words. "My mother and I know his family quite well since his father is one of the card designers and also one of the researchers that worked for our company, so I found his affilation with Academia is unlikely."
"I see. Then, should we bring him here for questioning?" Nakajima suggested.
"No, we will simply quietly observe him and his friend for now. We cannot afford to scare off a potential ally blessed by incredible abilities for being a Psychic duelist after all. Time will tell if they will become a valuable asset for our future goals-"
Reiji paused shortly while he straightened his glasses, a sharp glint on his cold, purple eyes as he stared intently on Jun and Yuki's picture.
"—or an enemy that must be eliminated if must."
[ Eyecatch: Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon, Purgatory Blood Saber, Stardust Spark Dragon, White Night Dragon ]
Right, There's the first Chapter finally out! In terms of deck, Jun would uses different decks. Mostly Dragon-based deck such as Duel Dragons, Manga Four dimensional Dragons, as well the original archetype that I made "Purgatory" which many of them focuses for special summoning and many of the high-leveled and Boss monster of that archetype shares different effect that triggered if any monster that they battle with isn't destroyed after the end of damage step. Also, I made up my own Ritual Dimensional Dragon which is Purgatory Slash Ritual Dragon which was Jun's main ace and being part of "Purgatory" Archetype. Cards used on Duel mostly retains their effect in TCG/OCG, but I also added its Anime or Manga effect depending the situation or I also could probably alter some cards effect to preventing it becoming OP or in some case, making them far more useful. In the case of Yuki, she's going to use Water-based Deck. Pairing-wise I keep it in secret and even If I reveal it now, it might be changed as the story goes on.
The reason I made Jun and Yuki as a Psychic Duelist here because the concept of Psychic Duelist from 5D's is rather interesting and I like the fact that a Duelist who can use Spell and Trap card abilities(such as Sayer/Divine using Hinotama on Yusei) as well summoning Monster to the reality like Akiza/Aki did. Also Psychic Duelist ability to inflict real damage and summon Monsters to the reality is rather DIFFERENT than Real Solid Vision here. The latter is merely a hologram with mass and the damage that Monster with Real Solid Vision mostly wasn't enough to severely injures someone from what I saw, unless the safety protocol is turned off.
By the time I upload this chapter, I already finishes 3 chapters. I will upload the next shortly after this one if able. All of these scene maybe kinda similar in the Fifth Factor, but I promise things are going to be different in the later chapters. Until Next time!
Next on Yu-gi-oh! ARC-V: The Unchained Duelist!
Jun""So...this is You Show Duel School?"
Shuzo: "Oh, then you must be Kazami Yujun-kun and the girl besides you is Asami Yuki-chan! I've heard everything about you two from Yuzu and Yuya! I'm Shuzo Hiiragi, Principal of You Show Duel School and Yuzu's father! For helping out my daughter, I'm in your debt!"
Yuya:"Alright, Ladies and Gentlemen! Today, for your entertainment only, we have prepared a spectacular performance that will leave you with your mouths hanging open! So, without any further ado, let's get to it! Using my Scale 1 Stargazer Magician and my Scale 8 Timegazer Magician, I set Pendulum Scale!"
Yuki:"Witnessing Pendulum Summon from the creator itself, truly a sight to behold."
Jun:""This is the first ever battle between Pendulum users! History is in the making right here, right now!"
