Over the next few days, the group did what they could in order to try and get Yuya to Pendulum Summon again. After the 246th failed attempt to do a Pendulum Summon, Yuya was still looking to try and get Pendulum Summoning to work, even though most of the group, except for him, Luna, Zuzu, and Gong had gone home at this point.

"Come on everybody! We can still get a Pendulum Summon out before the night is over! We can do this!" Yuya tried to encourage.

"Look, Yuya, can we please get some sleep first? I don't think we'll figure it out tonight, as disappointing as that is," Luna pointed out.

"I hate to agree with Luna, but I agree that maybe we should take a bit of a break," Zuzu said. "Maybe after a quick rest we'll figure this Pendulum Summoning thing out."

"Don't worry, Yuya! Gong believes that you will be able to get this Pendulum Summoning thing down soon enough," Gong encouraged.

"Thanks, Gong! We'll get this thing down in a jiffy! So, who wants to duel me next?" Yuya asked.

Everyone looked at him in surprise. While they were still willing to figure out Pendulum Summoning, they all wanted to take a break from dueling. After a minute of silence, Luna finally decided, "Well, fine. I haven't dueled at all during all of your attempts. I guess I can give it a try. Be warned, though. I'm a pretty tough Duelist."

"Well, don't worry. Win or lose, as long as we have fun and get closer to understanding Pendulum Summoning, we should do fine. Hey, seeing as how Rua hasn't dueled yet, maybe we should make this an Action Duel! What do you say, Rua?" Yuya asked the green haired woman. After a moment of thinking, Luna nodded her head, much to Yuya's excitement, as a tabletop Action Field formed in the Duel School's Duel Arena, courtesy of Gong.

"Now then, let's duel! I'll go first. I summon out Morphtronic Boomboxen to the field in Attack Mode (1200)!" Rua summoned.

"Whoa. I've never seen that monster before. Where do you think that Rua got that card from?" Zuzu asked Gong.

"Gong doesn't know, but what Gong does know is that Yuya could be in trouble if he can't figure out a way to beat her monster," Gong said.

"I play two facedowns and end my turn," Luna played.

Yuya began to look around at the field some more. "So, where do you think that the Action Cards are at? Do you think that there is one underneath this giant pencil?" Yuya asked curiously. "Oh, never mind. I draw! I summon out Performapal Silver Claw in Attack Mode (1800)!" Yuya followed up by getting onto the wolf's back as he rode across the field."Now, let's get this battle going! Silver Claw, strike at Boomboxen with style!"

"I'm afraid that won't happen. I play the trap card Morphtronic Mega Map! With it, every time a monster on my field changes its battle mode, I get to place a Morph Counter on my trap. For each counter that is on it, all my Morphtronic monsters will gain 300 attack points. But I won't stop there. I also play Morphtransition! With it, I can block your attack and switch my Boomboxen to Defense Mode," Luna stopped the attack. "And, thanks to my trap, my monster will gain 300 attack points (1500 Attack)."

"Gong's getting worried. Yuya, come next turn, will have to deal with a monster that has the same number of attack points as Silver Claw! It gets worse if she is able to summon out a stronger monster next turn. Yuya! Now would be a great time to dish out a Pendulum Summon!" Gong encouraged Yuya.

"But… I still don't quite get how it works," Yuya said.

"I know. But maybe we can make it work by thinking things through. Let's see… Pendulum Cards have these things called scales on them. You said that you could summon monsters from level 2 through 7 based on the scales that said 1 and 8. Which means…," Zuzu said, starting to think about how it worked.

"Wait! I got it! Yuya Sakaki, the up and coming dueltainer has his work cut out for him, but hopefully I can turn this duel around and win the duel and the crowd! Now, I'll use Stargazer Magician (1) and Timegazer Magician (8) to set the Pendulum Scale! I'm taking control of this duel starting now! I'm allowed to summon monsters from level 2 through 7 all at the same time!" Yuya yelled out as a red light flew out of a blue portal. "Turn up the heat Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" At this, Yuya started to smile. " I did it! I performed a Pendulum Summon again! Now, I'll end my turn. Your move, Rua!"

"You did it, Yuya!" Zuzu praised.

"Yuya! Gong's impressed that you were able to pull it off again! Congratulations!" Gong said with tears in his eyes.

"Hm. Very well, it's my turn again. I summon the Tuner Monster Morphtronic Scopen (800 to 1100 Attack)! Next, I switch my Boomboxen to attack mode, which will gain me another Morph Counter. Not only that, but both of my monsters will gain another 300 attack points (1400 Attack-Scopen) (1800 Attack-Boomboxen)!" Rua played.

"Whoa! Rua wasn't kidding around when she said that she was a great duelist! Looks like Yuya may be in trouble," Zuzu said, concerned for Yuya and amazed by Luna's skills.

"Gong knows! She really knows how to make use of her Morphtronic cards," Gong agreed.

"So, Yuya, are you sure about challenging me yet? I wasn't kidding when I said I was a great duelist," Rua said.

"Are you kidding? This duel has been very fun! I really can't wait to see what you have planned next!" Yuya exclaimed.

"Really? Well I better not disappoint then. I activate Scopen's ability to special summon a Morphtronic monster from my hand. In exchange, it will be destroyed at the end of my turn. So, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to show you what I'm made of. I special summon Morphtronic Videon (1000 to 1600 Attack)! I tune my Scopen with my Videon in order to Synchro Summon one of my best cards! Come on out, Morphing Power Tool Dragon (2300 Attack)!" Summoned to Rua's field was a monster that looked a lot like Power Tool Dragon. The only difference being that it had some black orbs with red lights on them surrounding the machine dragon.

"Wait. A Synchro Summon?! Where did Rua learn that?!" Zuzu was shocked.

"Gong doesn't know, but what Gong can say is that Yuya may be in trouble now," Gong was wary.

"Whoa! Where did you learn how to Synchro Summon from, Rua? I thought only the Leo Institute was teaching that form of summoning," Yuya was amazed yet confused.

"From where I'm from, it is a very common technique. I'd be more worried if I were you. I activate my Morphing Power Tool Dragon's special ability! With it, I can select one equip spell card from my deck and add it to my hand. Now, I'll activate the card I added. Double Tool C&D! With it, I can equip this card to either a Morphtronic Monster or Power Tool Dragon. Since my Morphing Power Tool Dragon is treated as regular old Power Tool Dragon, I'll equip it onto Morphing Power Tool Dragon, which will give my monster an extra 1000 attack points (3300 Attack)!" Rua played.

"Aw man! Now Rua has a monster that is stronger than Yuya's Silver Claw!" Zuzu was worried.

"Don't think that this turn is over yet. I activate Morphing Power Tool Dragon's other ability. Now I can place a Morph Counter on a card on the field that has an effect related to it. Now, with a third Morph Counter on the field, my Boomboxen will get a power boost (2100 Attack)!" Rua yelled out.
"Geez! These Morphtronic cards really are powerful!" Yuya was impressed, but worried.

"Well, if you are impressed now, well then you'll be even more so once I play the spell card Junk Box! With it, I can revive a Morphtronic in my graveyard! In exchange, it will be destroyed at the end of my turn. So, I think I'll use it to revive my Morphtronic Videon (1000 to 1900 Attack)! Now, let's battle! I'll attack your Odd-Eyes with my Morphing Power Tool Dragon!" The two monsters clashed, only for Morphing Power Tool Dragon to come out on top (Yuya-3200 LP).

"Odd-Eyes! No!" Yuya was greatly saddened by the attack destroying his best and favorite monster. In response, Yuya put his goggles over his eyes.

"Hey, are you okay?" Luna asked Yuya, concerned for Yuya's emotional state.

"I-I'm fine," Yuya responded, not doing a great job at hiding the sadness of losing his soul monster.

"Well, then, let's finish up this duel. I'll attack your Silver Claw with my Boomboxen! (Yuya-2900 LP) Then, I'll attack you directly with my Boomboxen, seeing as how he can attack a second time this turn! (Yuya-800 LP) Finally, I'll have Videon attack you directly!" Yuya's Life Points were reduced to zero by the attack as the duel came to a close and the Action Field disappeared. "Sorry I hurt you Yuya. That wasn't my intention. Why were you upset, anyways?"

"Because… Odd-Eyes was destroyed," Yuya answered sadly.

"I get it. You're sad because you have a special bond with Odd-Eyes and you feel bad that he got destroyed on your watch," Zuzu realized. "Still, on the bright side, you were able to pull off a Pendulum Summon again. That's good, right?"

"You know what…? Yeah. You're right! After all this time, I've finally pulled it off again!" Yuya was excited, starting to feel a bit better. "Thanks for the help everybody! Now that I can Pendulum Summon again I know that I can make a great show for everybody!"
"Well, Gong thinks we should get going. After all, we all have to go to school tomorrow," Gong reminded the group.

"Oh, you're right! See you guys later!" Yuya yelled as he ran out of the duel school, with the others following after.
