The reason why these chapters are more frequent right now is because of the fact I actually KNOW what I'm doing.
I swear to god, most of the time I spend in between these chapters is me trying to figure out how I piece certain characters into the story to match the plan I already have, mostly because I forget about those little snippets of the story during the planning.
Just you wait, this writing fever is gonna end someday, and yall will be stuck waiting for a while in between chapters again, sorry!
Another thing… for some reason, I now have the image of all of Arc V's characters in an Arc V version for the opening of Nichijou - My Ordinary Life.
You all can think of that now as well.
Melodious: That's… adorable…
Chapter 10: The Pendulum Swings Again
"Silver Claw! Run!" Yuya yelled, the wolf, however, was completely frozen in place.
Suddenly, a large purple spear with three spikes on the end was hurled at him and Silver Claw, it crashed into the ground with an explosion of dark energy, the sound of Silver Claw's yelp echoed in Yuya's ears as his last spirit was defeated.
Yuya was blown back, the orb knocked out of his hands and landing on the ground near him. The spear floated into the air and flew back towards where it had been thrown from.
The pillar of dark energy had faded from existence, in its place was a warrior wearing dark red armor, a little black mixed in as well. A dark purple aura seemed to constantly surround it, and it seemed to wear two masks above a mask it already wore.
Kachidoki screamed in what seemed like a mix of rage and pain, "The hell…" Yugo muttered, "This guy actually seems pretty strong… unlike his lackeys…" He said.
"I wanna kick his ass…" Yuri muttered, "Uhh, injured guy here!" Yuto yelled, "I'd like to just pass already!" He yelled.
"All of you… I will make sure…" Kachidoki said as he clutched the spear in his hand tightly, "THAT YOU ALL LOSE!" He screamed, charging at the three brothers.
"Aw shit…" Yuri muttered as he and his brothers glowed, "Here we go again…" He said as they each flashed purple, white, and blue.
All three dragons clashed together against the large warrior, they grunted as they struggled to keep him in place.
"O-okay…" Yuri grunted, "So he's got a lot of power… big deal…!" He said as the sounds of grunts filled the air.
"Damn it… Wait, Yuto, you're injured! Why are you…!" Yugo started to yell, "FORGET THAT, DO SOMETHING!" Yuto yelled as his body screamed in pain.
Yugo, who was in the center, started to be surrounded by gusts of green wind as they pushed, Yuto sparked with purple electricity while Yuri sparked with yellow electricity.
"I'll be using the power I stole from your friend…!" Yuri yelled as he and Yuto sent electricity through Kachidoki, Yugo yelling all the while as he started to push Kachidoki back.
"All of you… AREN'T WORTHY OF THE HONOR OF BEING A WINNER!" Kachidoki yelled as he smacked all of them away with a swing of his spear.
"GAAH!" They all yelled as they flew backward, Yugo quickly grabbed Yuto before he hit the ground while Yuri skidded against the ground.
"Damn y-" Yuri began to say before Kachidoki was suddenly behind him.
"Wha-"
"Die you BASTARD!" Kachidoki yelled as he struck Yuri with the front of his spear, blasting him far away, past Yuya even.
"G-GAKH…!" Yuri coughed out as he hit the ground, his transformation coming undone.
"Yuri!" Yugo yelled, "Damn y-" Yugo started to say before Kachidoki appeared behind him as well.
"Yugo look out!" Yuto yelled as he quickly shoved Yugo out of the way, "GO DOWN!" Kachidoki yelled as he struck Yuto with a series of thrusts that looked like a blur to everyone else.
Yuto's transformation came undone almost immediately, his eyes wide as he spat blood.
"Yuto!" Ruri yelled, standing up with eyes widened with fear.
"Get… the orb…!" Yuto spat out as he flew through the air, Yugo's face contorted with anger, "GOD DAMN IT!" He yelled, quickly turning around and flying towards the orb at full speed.
"Oh no, you don't!" Kachidoki yelled as he spun his spear in his hand before throwing it at the green-winged dragon.
"Oh FUCK OFF!" Yugo yelled, his usual filter on vulgarity turned off, "DICHROIC MIRROR!" He yelled as his wings glowed with blinding light.
He shot off a large beam of energy from his wings at the spear, only for the spear to tear through the attack with ease.
"Oh FU-" He started to yell before the spear crashed into him, Yugo was pretty sure he heard something crack inside him.
Yugo crashed into the ground below him as his transformation came undone, he was breathing frantically, though air felt like it wasn't entering his lungs, the air had been knocked out of him.
"YUGO!" Rin yelled Serena glanced at her for a moment with a knowing look before quickly turning her gaze away.
"Everyone…" Yuya muttered as he got up from the ground, he glanced behind him to see where the orb was, it was relatively near him, but he wasn't going to reach it before Kachidoki reached him, let alone get it to the pedestal.
On the bright side, Kachidoki has seemingly forgotten about the orb and was now completely focused on him and his brothers.
Bad news though, he was completely focused on defeating him and his brothers.
"Oh FINE then…" Yuya said as he glowed a bright purple, "Come! Beast-Eyes!" He yelled, his yell slowly replaced itself with a powerful roar as his eyes glowed yellow and green.
"You…" Kachidoki said as his spear flew back to his hand, "I'll END YOU!" He yelled as he charged at him.
"Hell Dive Burst!" Yuya yelled, sending the same attack that had beaten Kachidoki earlier at him again.
Kachidoki screamed as he threw his spear at the attack, the spear covered in dark and rainbow energy.
The spear broke through the flames with ease, beating the attack in a single moment, "Wha-" Yuya started to say as his body instinctively moved to dodge…
The spear struck the right horn on his back, the spear bounced off of the horn the second it hit it.
Meanwhile, the horn cracked and broke clean in half.
"GAAAAAAAAAGH!" Yuya screamed in pain, apparently, it HURT LIKE HELL if one of his horns was broken.
His transformation came undone and he fell to the ground, the damage to his horn transferred to his arm and back, his right arm was covered in deep lacerations, and and the right side of his back was bleeding heavily, even his jacket-cape was gone, leaving the dark-red color of red to appear clearly on his shirt.
"YUYA!" Yuzu screamed, her eyes watery, and the only thing keeping the tears at bay was the amount of worry she felt as she looked at his injured form.
Yuya screamed in pain, he couldn't move his arm, heck, he could only feel pain from it, he couldn't feel the blades of grass on his arm as he fell over.
"Great… not only have I lost all of the good feelings in my arm…" Yuya thought in pain, "I actually can't move it…" He thought.
To make matters worse, the wounds that Yuzu had patched up were now starting to hurt again, anything that needed to be closed up was now opening again.
"Beast-Eyes… has the most power… out of all of my monsters…" Yuya muttered, "But it was nothing to him… what happened!?" He yelled.
He looked up at the form of Kachidoki's new form, he noticed that he was still screaming…
"GAAGH…" He yelled, clutching his arms as though he was in pain. "This is… this is nothing…!" He yelled, his spear flying back to him as he said that.
"Is… is your power hurting you!?" Yuya yelled. Kachidoki glared at him.
"What do YOU care!?" He yelled, readying his spear for another attack.
"That's dangerous! Stop!" Yuya yelled with genuine worry.
"No… not until I kick your ass so hard you'll never duel again!" He yelled as he charged at Yuya.
"Crap… Odd-Eyes!" Yuya yelled as he was surrounded in a red and green light, reappearing as his ace monster.
"W-Whoa…!" Yuya exclaimed as he started to fall to his left, the lack of weight on his right side (His horn was still broken, even as Odd-Eyes) causing him to stumble.
"Take this!" Kachidoki yelled as he attacked with a glowing spear.
His spear collided with the right horn on his head, it broke immediately.
"GAAGH!" Yuya yelled as pain shot through his body from his horn, "Damn it, Spiral Flame Strike!" Yuya yelled as he shot a burst of spiraling flames at Kachidoki.
The attack seemed to have little to no effect, the loss of his horn also meant the loss of some of the gems adorning his body, was that making his attacks weaker…?
"I'm ending this!" Kachidoki yelled as he spun the spear in his hand before smacking Yuya away again, this time in the direction of the podium.
The students screamed as they quickly moved away from the area where he was supposed to land before he crashed into an invisible barrier, something you could only go through if you were holding an orb.
"Yuya!" Yuzu yelled as she ran towards where he had landed, her sisters followed her.
She ended up running straight into the barrier that also kept all of the students inside, Yuya remained in the form of Odd-Eyes, but he was breathing hard.
"Yuya! Are you okay?" She asked frantically, her hands pressed up against the barrier as she looked at him with worry.
"Yeah… I'm fine…" Yuya groaned, "Just a mild concussion… wounds opening up… can't feel my arm… the usual…" He said sarcastically.
Yuzu let out a quick laugh as the tears finally fell down her cheeks, "Joking in a situation like this… idiot…" She said with a worried smile.
She suddenly looked past him with wide eyes, "YUYA LOOK OUT!" She screamed, Yuya looked back just in time to see a spear flying straight towards his face, he quickly returned to normal and just narrowly avoided having his skull crushed.
"Hey! Are you trying to kill him!?" Serena yelled, some students that had retreated about ten feet behind her yelled in agreement.
Kachidoki suddenly glared at all of them, everyone except Serena (who sent back an equally cold glare) either jumped back or nearly fell over.
Yuya clutched his head in pain, blood dripped down the right side of his face, as expected of head wounds which bleed a freaking lot.
He felt dizzy as he stood back up, "Man… you can make clones as well?" He muttered, Yuzu gave him a look of concern, she held up five fingers. "How many fingers am I holding up?" She asked.
"…I'd say about 15… but you don't have that many fingers…" He muttered as he stared at her, "Crap… my head really hurts…" he groaned.
The spear returned to Kachidoki hand again, he stared at Yuya coldly.
"I'm not done yet you FUCKER!" Yugo yelled, Yuya had the sudden urge to yell at him to watch his language, but he was too busy trying to NOT fall over.
Yugo had transformed back into Clear Wing and had wrapped his arms around Kachidoki from behind, he started to fly upwards before going backward straight in the direction of the ground, "GERMAN DRAGON SUPLEX!" He screamed.
Kachidoki broke free from his grip midair and smacked him away, he hit the barrier Yuya had smacked into nearby, he fell down and crashed into the ground again, turning back to normal.
He coughed as he sat back upright, "In hindsight…" He groaned, "I should've known that wouldn't have worked…" he muttered.
Yuto hadn't seen it, but he felt a sudden urge to smack his palm into his forehead in exasperation.
"Idiots… just like your father…" Kachidoki said angrily, Yugo promptly stuck his middle finger out at him.
A flash of purple shone from behind Kachidoki, he quickly turned around to see Yuri, now Starving Venom, fly at full speed and snatch the orb from the ground before quickly flying at full speed for the podium.
"Fuck this, I know when to dip out!" Yuri yelled as he flew towards the goal.
Kachidoki sighed before pointing his spear at Yuri and sending a blast of dark energy towards him, knocking him out of the sky. Yuri cursed the entire way, saying some things that probably shouldn't be told to children.
Kachidoki suddenly fell to his knee, "Crap… I can't keep this up much longer…" He muttered.
"I need something that will let me beat this guy… or at least stall him until he can't keep the transformation up any longer…" Yuya thought frantically, his thoughts suddenly shot towards the power he lost control of during his fight with Reiji.
Kachidoki turned to stare at him, the orb had been knocked further away from the goal after Yuri had been shot out of the air, it would be impossible to reach it without beating Kachidoki first.
"But… even if I use that power… I'm too injured to fight…" He muttered.
Suddenly, his pendulum started glowing and swinging on his neck, the glow started to spread from the pendulum and onto his entire body.
"Huh?" he said, he noticed that feeling was starting to return to his arm as the glow enveloped him, a pillar of blue light erupted underneath him, the dark clouds above him changed to blue, and a bright light seemed to glow from the area he stood under.
A large pendulum appeared above him, swinging back and forth above him as he continued to glow.
"What the hell are you… Oh no, you don't!" Kachidoki yelled, charging at him before being blown back by a wave of blue energy.
The pendulum above Yuya started to swing faster, glowing brightly above him as his wounds slowly started closing.
He suddenly saw his monsters in front of him, he was no longer on the battlefield, he was in the place where he had first met Odd-Eyes and his magicians.
Rune-Eyes, Beast-Eyes, Odd-Eyes, Stargazer, Timegazer, Trump Witch, Silver Claw.
They were all there.
"As the pioneer of the power you have dubbed Pendulum…" Said Stargazer.
"The power to rise up again and again, no matter the opponent, now lies within you…" Said Timegazer.
"Don't go using it all willy-nilly!" Said Trump Witch cheerfully, "You can't use it constantly, after all, it's got like, a cooldown, ya know?" She said, sounding awfully casual rather than the dignified tone Stargazer and Timegazer had.
Odd-Eyes, Rune-Eyes, Beast-Eyes, and Silver Claw each reared their heads and roared into the air (howled actually, in Silver Claw's case).
Light suddenly surrounded all of them, blinding Yuya.
When he opened his eyes, he was back on the battlefield, still glowing with blue light.
He placed his hands up to his chest, his pendulum still swinging.
"Eternal…" He began to say, "Pendulum!" He yelled as he raised a hand to the pendulum swinging above his head, a drop of light fell from the sky and landed in his hand.
In a single instant, all of his wounds were healed, his jacket-cape had even come back, heck, he looked as though he hadn't battled once the entire round.
If there was anything really, there was a single, though large, barely visible scar along the upper part of his arm where a particularly deep laceration had been.
The light finally faded, as well as the pendulum above his head, the dark clouds were beginning to part, allowing sunlight to break through the small openings available.
Yuzu stared at him in awe, "I… remember this…" She muttered, "On our first day… I thought you had died… but you completely recovered… and unlocked this new power…" She said softly.
That day replayed in her mind clearly.
"Yuya..." Yuzu muttered as the giant beast lifted his club from the ground, the dragon was gone, Yuya had reverted back, his eyes were open, yet unmoving, she couldn't see his chest rise and fall as it should when somebody is breathing.
…
Suddenly, a pillar of light exploded from the area where Yuya laid, sending a shockwave through the area, "Huh?" Said Ishijima, frozen in place as he stared at the pillar of light.
…
Yuya slowly opened his eyes, "...Away from her..." He muttered, "Huh?" Said Ishijima, confused. "I said GET AWAY FROM HER!" He yelled, his eyes glowing. Yuya extended his hand, a glowing card materialized, floating in his palm, it glowed a bright red, before switching to green, to red, and to green again. "What the..." Said Ishijima, "What the hell kinda monster is that!?" He yelled, pointing at the card.
…
It was a day that she could never forget, partly because of the fear she had felt that day, but also because of the incredible sight she had seen that day.
It was ever since that day that her heart seemed to ache with longing every time she stared at him.
Her heart seemed to flutter every time she remembered his declaration that he would protect her.
It had started off as a small feeling, barely noticeable, but it had grown since then… she could feel it clearly in her heart.
Yuya had returned from the brink of death that day, and now, his wounds were completely healed, just like that first time.
"I don't know what you just did…" Kachidoki said, "BUT IT CHANGES NOTHING!" He yelled as he began to attack.
A flash of red and green light blinded everyone nearby, and Kachidoki was blown back again.
Around Yuya stood the figures of all of his Pendulum Monsters, he and all of his spirits glowed with a faint blue light.
"I've only ever been able to bring out two…" Yuya said, "Anything more than two is too hard to handle…" He said calmly.
"But… I don't feel that problem right now…" He explained, "And you're someone that I won't beat if I hold back!" He declared, Odd-Eyes roared as though to emphasize his point.
"…Wait, why am I here!? I can't fight!" Yelled Trump Witch frantically as she immediately mounted Silver Claw, the wolf didn't seem to mind carrying the young witch.
"Then BRING IT!" Kachidoki yelled. Yuya nodded, "Yeah… we're fighting… and you're incredibly strong…" Yuya responded, but he steeled his resolve and stared directly into his eyes.
"Look around… everyone watching us is afraid…" He said, "When my father dueled… the people who watched him smiled…" Yuya said with a calm smile.
He turned and looked at Yuzu.
"I'm not my dad… I'm probably not the best at entertaining a crowd… but…" He started to say as he and his spirits walked forward.
"So long as I can make one person smile… then I can make others smile as well!" He said confidently.
"SO WHAT!?" Kachidoki yelled, "THAT STYLE OF DUELING IS WEAK!" He yelled, "I'LL DEFEAT YOU, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!" He yelled as he charged at Yuya.
All of Yuya's spirits rushed forward to meet him, clashing with him intensely and only barely keeping him in place.
A spotlight suddenly shone on Yuya, a bright smile on his face. "Ladies and Gentlemen!" He yelled, "Behold! This fight shall finally reach its climax!" He said happily, "So without further ado… please welcome, the Dragon with eyes of arcane power! Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" He yelled.
Yuya was surrounded by purple light as he jumped in the air and transformed into Rune-Eyes again, letting out a roar that echoed in everyone's ears.
"Let's go, everyone!" Yuya yelled out, "Unending Shining Burst!" Yuya yelled, sending a seemingly endless number of beams towards Kachidoki, his spirits running alongside it.
"Just GIVE UP!" Kachidoki screamed, spinning his spear in his hand and blocking the beams of light with ease.
Suddenly, Silver Claw and Trump Witch appeared behind him.
Silver Claw growled as he bit down on Kachidoki armored arm, Trump Witch furiously smacked his head with her staff (to little avail, but hey, she's trying).
"You think something like this will stop me!?" Kachidoki yelled as he started to swing his arm to smack them away.
"Inverse Gears!" Yuya yelled, on command, Timegazer reversed time again.
"Not again…!" Kachidoki yelled as he prepared to react.
Silver Claw and Trump Witch were moved back to the position they were at before they jumped on him, Kachidoki immediately started to turn around to attack them.
Unfortunately, this caused him to lower his defenses against the beams of light, each beam of light converged into a single beam and struck Kachidoki right in the back.
"GAH!" Kachidoki yelled as he was caught off guard, he caught a glimpse of Stargazer hovering above him.
"Horoscope Cutter!" He yelled, sending multiple glowing razors at him, Kachidoki quickly raised his spear to block.
"Timegazer! Time Freeze!" Yuya yelled.
From Yuya's perspective, Kachidoki was suddenly knocked over by something he couldn't see, but from Timegazer's perspective, he had stopped time and blasted the frozen Kachidoki with an attack of his own.
This gave Stargazer's attack the opening it needed to smash right into Kachidoki's back as he was falling over.
"Timegazer usually can't do that unless I've transformed into him…" Yuya thought, "But that thing I did… the thing that healed me…" He thought, "I'm overflowing with power… and so are they!" He thought confidently.
"I'll make the most of this power boost!" Yuya yelled with a smile, "Come to the stage! The dragon that rules above all predators! Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya yelled, transforming from Rune-Eyes to Beast-Eyes.
"Let's go, Odd-Eyes!" Yuya yelled as the orb on his chest glowed orange, Odd-Eyes ran up next to him, the gems adorning the red dragon also glowing.
"Combined attack!" Yuya yelled as he and Odd-Eyes jumped into the air, "Hellish Dive, Spiral Burst!" He yelled as both he and Odd-Eyes released their attacks, the flames merged into one single attack.
The bright red flames changed to shape into the head of Odd-Eyes, before spinning around and heading straight for Kachidoki.
"Just DIE!" Kachidoki screamed, throwing a glowing spear at the flames, "Pierce, Supremacy Spear!" He yelled as his spear spun in the air as it clashed against the attack.
"But wait! There's more!" Yuya yelled excitedly, "Odd-Eyes' power is in this attack!" He yelled as the orbs on Odd-Eyes glowed even brighter.
"Go! Reaction Force!" He yelled as the flames doubled in size.
The spear was pushed back immediately, the attack crashed directly into Kachidoki with a huge explosion of color.
"Now for the big one!" Yuya yelled as he transformed back into himself, he jumped onto Odd-Eyes and disappeared, now transformed into Odd-Eyes rather than having him out as a spirit.
"Stargazer! Timegazer!" He yelled as he ran towards Kachidoki, the two magicians started to fly alongside him.
"Lend me your power!" He yelled, they glowed as his magicians raised their hands and sent a beam of light at the orb on Yuya's chest, Yuya started to glow a bright blue, his eyes glowing their respective colors as well.
He jumped into the air as flames formed in his mouth, "Take this! "Spiral Flame Strike, Arc Burst!" He yelled, firing a huge stream of spiraling flames, blue energy mixed along with it.
"No!" Kachidoki yelled as the attack approached him, "I WILL NOT LOOOOOOOOSE!" He screamed as dark energy erupted underneath him.
Then, everything went black.
Kachidoki's scream changed into a monstrous roar, the attack Yuya had fired at him crashed into him with a large explosion, but he seemed unfazed.
"Oh, what now…" Yuri groaned.
"Win… I will win…" Kachidoki growled, "That's… all that matters!" He roared.
"All who stand in the way of my victory… will PERISH!" He roared out, a wave of dark energy flew through the area, knocking down both Yuya and his spirits.
"Kachidoki!" Yuya yelled out as he was blown away, "Destroy everything…" Kachidoki growled as he pointed his spear towards the ground.
"Apocalypse Storm!" He screamed as he thrust the spear into the ground, dark and rainbow energy flowing around him.
The ground around him started to break apart, Yuya's brothers could see the ground glowing underneath them.
"Shit, EVERYONE MOVE!" Yugo yelled as he scrambled to his feet, as did Yuri and Yuto.
They quickly transformed and flew into the air, though Yuri had to help Yuto into the air first. "Crap, crap, crap…" Trump Witch exclaimed as she and Silver Claw were picked up by Stargazer and taken into the sky, Yuya quickly flew up as well with Timegazer at his side.
"You can't escape… IT ENDS HERE!" Kachidoki roared, the ground around him broke apart, and a seemingly infinite amount of black spikes burst out of the ground and homed in on the brothers and Yuya's spirits.
"Dichroic Shower!" Yugo yelled, his wings glowed bright green as he shot out a storm of green lasers in every direction to defend against the spikes, Yuto was forced to stay behind Yuri while Yuri fired streams of his own lasers.
"Everyone! Defend yourself!" Yuya yelled as he shifted into Rune-Eyes and fired a barrage of white lasers at the spikes coming towards him, Timegazer and Stargazer went back to back with Silver Claw and Trump Witch behind them as they attempted to push back the spikes with their power.
Every spike broke easily, but they kept regenerating and continuing their assault, Kachidoki screamed in pain as he channeled more power into the attack.
Yugo ran out of energy to fire lasers out and started to fly around in an attempt to avoid the attack, Yuri struggled to keep his attack going, visibly reaching his limit due to labored breathing and a drop in the ferocity of his attack.
"This isn't good…" Yuya thought frantically, "It keeps coming… there's no end…!" He panicked.
A spike struck Yugo's side as he flew through the air, he roared in pain as he lost height in the air, but he kept flying forward despite the injury.
His spirits were being pushed back, Timegazer had already stopped time twice in order to get some spikes that slipped past, and was looking exhausted.
"Is that power… the only way…?" Yuya grunted as the spikes continued to converge on him.
"I… I just need to control it this time, right!?" Yuya yelled, "Timegazer! Inverse Gears!" He yelled.
Time began to flow backward again, only he and people near him would be aware of time moving backward, and as of right now, nobody was near enough to him to realize what was happening.
While his body moved on its own, he reached into his mind, searching for the power he had lost control of.
He felt it, it crackled with power, it felt unstable, like a bomb that could go off at any moment.
"This power… I'll make it mine!" He yelled.
Time stopped reversing and returned to normal, Yuya's attacks stopped and the spikes converged on him freely.
"Yuya!" Yuto yelled.
"RAAAAAAAAGH!" Yuya yelled as he was surrounded in purple lightning, it sparked in every direction rapidly, the spikes around him couldn't get through.
His form changed, a large black mass started to take shape around him, forming a silhouette with two eyes that glowed bright, one red, and the other green.
It was bigger than anything else Yuya had, the electricity around him started to spark out of control, it was keeping him safe from the attacks, but at this rate, it would hit his spirits before it reached Kachidoki, who was below him.
"Damn it!" Yuya yelled as he struggled to keep the power at bay, a loud roar echoed through the area, originating from himself.
He had more control over it than the first time, but regardless, he couldn't keep it under control.
"Quite a sloppy way of controlling your power…"
Yuya's eyes opened wide with surprise when he heard the voice, he saw two figures floating in front of him.
"Oh hush, as if it's easy for someone to tame this amount of power without help!" Said another voice, it was feminine and kind, unlike the previous voice which was deep and harsh.
"So what? We now have to help him?" Asked the deeper voice.
"Well, why else did we come here?" Asked the feminine voice.
"Oh fine…" Said the deep voice, the two figures moved closer to him, Yuya could now make out what they looked like.
"My name is Xiangke Magician," Said the deep-voiced one, "The magician that controls destruction…" He explained, He held a large shield with long blades sticking out of the end, a sun painted on the shield, he wore armor that looked part-warrior and part-wizard, and a long cape of blue fur flapped behind him. Gems adorned his weapon in a zigzag pattern.
"My name is Xiangsheng Magician…" Said the feminine voiced one, "I am the magician of creation…" She explained, she wore pink and orange robes with pink ribbons floating around her, a white eyepatch covered her right eye, and she held a red bow with green gems on it in her arms.
"Tell us…" Said Xiangke, "Why do you desire this power…" He asked. Yuya grunted as he continued to struggle against the amount of power around him. "I need this power…" Yuya started to say, "Because I need to be stronger…" He said, "To protect the people I love… to help people in need…" he explained.
"Right now…" He said, "I need it to save my brothers… to win this tournament…" he said, "and to save Kachidoki…" he explained, Xiangke raised an eyebrow.
"Save him?" Xiangke said, "He is your enemy, why do you wish to save him? And from what?" He asked.
"That power he's using…" Yuya explained, "It's hurting him… he's hurting himself just so he can win!" He said angrily, "I can't let someone suffer like that…" He grunted as the power fluctuated again.
Xiangke scoffed, "Too kind… soft and naive…" He grunted, Yuya gritted his teeth.
"…Interesting… very well, our power is now yours!" He said suddenly with a huge grin, "Huh!?" Yuya exclaimed in surprise, Xiangsheng giggled.
"This power is immense… but the reason you cannot control it is because of its instability…" Xiangke explained as he and Xiangsheng moved into positions opposite of each other, Yuya in the center.
"Therefore, we shall make it calm down…" Xiangsheng said as she raised her bow, a glowing arrow notched in it, "A bit more convenient than just forcing it into submission with sheer willpower, no?" She said with a giggle.
The gems on Xiangke's staff glowed, small white orbs flew from them and began to move rapidly in circles and lines, creating the shape of a circle with a ten-pointed star in the center. From the circle, three large orbs of light shot from it, converging into a single orb before striking Yuya directly in the chest.
There was a flash of light, and Yuya found that he was suddenly transformed into Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, the electricity that crackled around him suddenly shot towards Kachidoki, striking him with a huge blast of lightning.
"Gack…!" Kachidoki grunted, the spikes that had been chasing after Yuya's brothers and spirits suddenly stopped in their tracks, purple electricity visibly sparking through every single one of them.
Blue energy suddenly started to flow out from the gems adorning his body, it converged above him before taking a shape.
"That's…" Yuri muttered.
"Dark Rebellion!" Yuto yelled.
There was now a slightly transparent, blue version of Dark Rebellion hovering beside Yuya, it stared directly into Yuya's eyes.
"And now…" Xiangke said, letting loose the red-glowing arrow directly at a spot between Yuya and the projection of Dark Rebellion.
It exploded between them, a red sphere expanded around them, Yuya's body was caked with the red energy, while purple energy started to surround the projection of Dark Rebellion.
The projection roared into the air before flying upward, it then did a flip before diving directly at Yuya.
"Whoa!" Yuya yelled out as the projection crashed into him, shattering as it made contact with him, and the pieces flowing directly into the orb in Yuya's chest.
Yuya's transformation suddenly came undone, but he remained suspended in the air, a glowing card appeared in front of him.
"Is that…!" Atem muttered, he saw all of the audience members stand up in shock as well.
The card glowed blue, before glowing green, and then glowing blue once more, alternating between the two colors consistently.
Reiji felt himself begin to smile, he chuckled to himself.
"So you've found it…" He muttered as he adjusted his glasses, "The potential of Pendulum…" He muttered, a smile adorning his usually stoic face.
Yuya didn't hesitate, he nodded at the two magicians, they nodded back.
He grasped the card in his hand, blue and green ribbons of energy surrounding him.
"Dragon of Dual-Colored eyes…" He said as his pendulum swung on his chest, "Eradicate all enemies who oppose you with your scale of wrath!" He yelled.
"Damn Yuya…" Yugo muttered as he struggled to remain in the air, "For the youngest of us all… you're pretty incredible…!" He said with a wide grin.
"XYZ CREATION!" He yelled as his body started to change, "Descend now! Dragon with eyes of pure rage!" He yelled, "The Supreme King Black Dragon! ODD-EYES REBELLION DRAGON!" He yelled as black winds started to swirl around him as the light burst around him, revealing his new form.
A powerful shockwave echoed through the area, in Yuya's place now stood a dragon with deep black scales, some white scales mixed in as well, his eyes shone red on his right and green on his left. He had two fangs on his jaw similarly to Dark Rebellion, as well as large seemingly-mechanical wings.
The right side of his face was white while the other was a deep black, a deep blue gem on his forehead between both colors, glowing red lines ran along his body, prominently at the base of his wings, splashes of blue also existed on its arms and legs.
It had a long tail with two spikes at the end, and on both of its arms were fangs similar to what Dark Rebellion had.
Yuya reared his head and roared into the sky, the roar causing some to need to cover their ears as it echoed through the area, waves of dark energy shot from his mouth as he roared, the very ground seemed to shake when it roared.
As the waves of dark energy shot through the area, all of the spikes broke into dust and scattered into the wind, leaving Kachidoki standing amongst a large crater and nothing else.
"What the hell… WHY WON'T YOU JUST LOSE ALREADY!" He screamed angrily, Yuya stared directly into his eyes with his own.
"FINE THEN!" Kachidoki yelled, "ILL BEAT YOU DOWN AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES!" He screamed, jumping into the air with his spear in hand.
Kachidoki suddenly vanished and reappeared behind Yuya, Yugo started to say something to warn him.
"FALL!" Kachidoki roared as he swung the spear down on Yuya.
Suddenly, Yuya's arm found itself a grip on the spear.
"WHAT!?" Kachidoki yelled, Yuya had turned around immediately and caught the spear with ease, he attempted to pull the spear out of Yuya's grip, only to find that Yuya had an iron grip on the spear.
"I'll tell you this once…" Yuya said as Kachidoki struggled, "Surrender, that power is causing you to suffer!" He said angrily.
"NEVER!" Kachidoki yelled, "I will be VICTORIOUS!" He roared.
"Then I'll stop you!" Yuya yelled, yanking the spear towards him, Kachidoki was pulled forward and found himself face to face with a ball of purple energy growing in Yuya's mouth.
"Take this!" Yuya yelled as he fired a stream of spiraling purple energy, it blew Kachidoki away from him, taking his spear with him.
Kachidoki crashed into the ground, he quickly got up and growled.
Yuya flew down and charged at him, Kachidoki ran forward to meet him.
They clashed, Kachidoki blocking the two fangs on Yuya's jaw from striking him, the ground broke underneath them due to the power of the clash.
I'll end this now!" Yuya yelled, rearing his head and knocking Kachidoki away from him.
Yuya flew high into the air before flying backward, he turned and faced Kachidoki.
His wings opened up, and blades of purple blades of electric energy extended out, electricity sparkled around his body, the two fangs on his jaw glowed bright purple.
He did a flip in the air before plunging his glowing fangs into the ground, and then flying forward at full speed, his fangs tore through the earth with ease as he continued to advance at full speed, tearing through the earth as if it wasn't there.
"JUST DIE ALREADY!" Kachidoki roared, his spear glowing as he spun it in his hand, "Supreme Shura Thrust!" He roared, charging at the large black dragon at full force.
"IMPERIAL WRATH'S REVOLT, STRIKE DISOBEY!" Yuya yelled as he charged forward, he raised his head and reared it upwards as he approached Kachidoki, Kachidoki thrust his spear at full strength.
The two attacks clashed, the ground practically vanished underneath them while they clashed.
The spear creaked for a moment before it finally broke clean in half, "WHAT!?" Kachidoki yelled as he was blasted away with the full force of Yuya's attack.
"Amazing…" Yuto muttered, "Tch… stealing all the attention, is he?" Yuri muttered. Though he was grinning widely.
Kachidoki gritted his teeth as a new spear manifested in his hand, "Damn you…" He muttered, he gripped the spear in his hand tightly as his rage continued to build up.
"WHY CAN'T I WIN!?" He yelled angrily, "YOU JUST KEEP ON GETTING UP AND BEING A PAIN IN THE ASS, JUST GIVE UP ALREADY!" He yelled.
He was surrounded by even more dark energy, the spikes that had been chasing them started to appear from the ground again.
"He's getting stronger AGAIN!?" Yugo yelled, "Damn it, where's the damn orb!" He yelled as he looked around
It was right behind Kachidoki.
"OF COURSE THAT'S WHERE IT IS!" Yugo yelled angrily.
"Damn it, we have to finish this now…" Yuto muttered. Yuri nodded in agreement.
They all flew down next to Yuya, "We really need to end this…" Yuri said to Yuya, "Yeah… it's time that we finally give the audience the finale…" Yuya said in agreement.
His spirits appeared next to him, Odd-Eyes, Stargazer and Timegazer, Xiangke and Xiangsheng, and finally, Silver Claw and Trump Witch.
"We'll end this with a single attack!" Yuya said confidently, his brothers nodded.
Yuya suddenly appeared on top of Odd-Eyes Rebellion, he was an Xyz-Pendulum monster, after all, so he could also be deployed as a spirit.
"Ladies and Gentlemen!" Yuya yelled, "This is the moment you've all been waiting for!" He said with a smile.
"With this attack…" Yuto said while he rubbed the back of his head, blushing a bit.
"This damn fight…" Yuri said with a hint of annoyance and embarrassment.
"Will finally freaking end!" Yugo yelled with excitement.
"SHUT UP!" Kachidoki yelled, charging at the group.
"Let's go, everyone!" Yuya yelled as they started to charge forward.
All of Yuya's spirits glowed a variety of different colors, each flowing directly into Yuya's chest, Yuya roared as he felt power begin to run through him, the energy on his wings suddenly extended to become incredibly large, electric wings with three spikes on each wing.
His fangs glowed a bright purple as he charged forward, blue energy coating the rest of his body.
Yuto's entire body screamed at him to stop moving, but he mustered up whatever willpower he had left and forced his body to keep moving, his body sparked with electricity as he readied his own attack, "Rebellious Lightning Strike, DISOBEY!" He yelled as he charged alongside Yuya.
"Whirlwind Helldive Slasher!" Yugo yelled, fighting through the pain in his side as he was surrounded by gusts of green wind as he charged forward.
Yuri remained behind them while he flew along, his wings spread out as he fired a large green beam from them, "Starving Menace!" He yelled.
Yuya's fangs glowed bright purple as he shoved them into the ground and began to tear through the earth, "Imperial Wrath's Revolt, STRIKE DISOBEY!" He yelled as he tore through the ground.
They charged forward, each yelling as they flew forward, their glows started to converge onto Yuya as they charged forward, white and black light surrounded his body as they charged forward.
"Supreme King's Imperial Wrath, STRIKE DISOBEY!" They all yelled, as their attacks converged into one as they charged forward, Yuya roared as they charged forward.
"CURSE OF KAIKI!" Kachidoki yelled as he charged forward with his spear, countless black spikes erupting from the ground and charging alongside him, "APOCALYPSE CRASH!" He finished as he charged.
Their attacks clashed, a pillar of white and black light erupted from the point of impact, They all rose into the air as they clashed, energy sparking in every direction.
They all yelled as their attacks clashed together, a bright blue light shone from Yuya's chest, enveloping everyone around them.
"You who has spent his entire life in the light…" Kachidoki muttered as they clashed, "You can never defeat someone like me… who has spent his entire life in the dark!"
Yuya grunted as he felt himself get pushed back, "You're wrong…!" He muttered, "My life… our lives…" He said in reference to his brothers, "Our lives haven't always been what we consider 'in the light' you know…!" He said as he pushed back.
"Like hell, they weren't! You don't know what it means to walk down a dark path with no hope of a better way…!" Kachidoki yelled back.
"We do!" Yuya returned as memories of a darker time shot through his head, "However, we were able to escape it…!" He grunted, "Because we had each other! We helped each other to stand until we were finally out of it!" He yelled as Kachidoki spear began to crack.
"SHUT UP!" Kachidoki screamed as he channeled all of his power into his attack.
"No! We recovered because we had someone to pull us out…!" Yuya returned, "We may not know what it is you've gone through… we don't know what your life has been…!" He yelled, "But what we can do… is extend a hand to help you…!" He said. Kachidoki gasped.
"But for now… we'll defeat you… and save you from that power…!" Yuya yelled as electricity sparked around him, they suddenly separated in a blast of energy, Yuya's body glowed black (among the purple electricity), three other glowing forms at his side and above him.
At his right was Yuri as Starving Venom, he was glowing completely purple, Yugo as Clear Wing flew above him, glowing completely green, Yuto was at his left side glowing completely blue.
"Let's go, everyone!" Yuya yelled, "Yeah!" His brothers yelled back in response as they charged forward again.
His brothers suddenly separated from him, flying forward as they glowed brightly, they rammed into Kachidoki numerous times before Yuya reached him and they clashed again.
They clashed multiple times, powerful shockwaves shooting through the area every time.
Yuya retreated backward for a moment, his brothers returned to his side as well.
Yuya was breathing fast, "Guys… my first time using this form is tough on me…" He gasped, "I can probably only keep this form up for another two minutes…" He wheezed.
"That's all we need! I have a plan!" Yugo replied, he quickly explained what he had in mind.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures, let's do it…!" Yuri replied as they all grinned.
"Then let's do it! The final push!" Yuya yelled, they separated and charged again.
"Damn you…!" Kachidoki yelled as he fought off the forms of Yuya's brothers, they were all flying incredibly fast as they performed numerous hit-and-run attacks on him.
"Take this!" Yuya yelled as he crashed his fangs into Kachidoki spear, he yelled at the top of his lungs as he attempted the break the weapon.
"WRYYYAAAA!" Yuya yelled as he reared his head and finally shattered the spear again, Kachidoki grunted as he was blown back.
Yuya suddenly began to fall as he reverted back to normal, Kachidoki grinned, "You're out of energy! The fight is mine!" He yelled as he charged at him, he didn't have the energy to manifest another spear, but he could finish the fight without it.
"Oh really?" Yuya yelled back, Kachidoki suddenly felt a presence appear behind him.
He snapped around to see Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon floating there.
"Rebellion is a pendulum monster! He can be brought out as a spirit!" Yuya yelled with a grin, Kachidoki raised his arms and caught the glowing fangs that began to crash down on him, he grunted as he struggled to hold the fangs in place.
"But as a spirit… I can handle it…!" Kachidoki grunted confidently, gathering power in his leg and kicking the large dragon a few feet away, he prepared himself to attack again.
Suddenly, the black dragon disappeared.
He looked behind him, his eyes widening at what he saw.
All four brothers floated below him, including Yuya who was glowing red and green as he started to transform.
"Finish it, Odd-Eyes!" Yuya yelled as he transformed into Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon again, his body glowed bright red while the gems on his body glowed their respective colors, his brothers continued to glow as well.
"Crap…!" Kachidoki grunted. Red energy started to glow in Yuya's mouth, green energy in Yugo's, purple energy in Yuri's, and blue energy in Yuto's.
"EAT THIS!" They all yelled, each firing a stream of energy at Kachidoki, each attack swirled together into a single beam of energy.
"Four Heavenly Dragons! Spiraling Arc Stream!" They yelled as Kachidoki was blasted further into the air by the stream of colors.
"GYAAA!" Kachidoki yelled as he fought against the stream of energy, "This is… this is nothing…!" He grunted as he attempted to blow the attack away with raw power.
"Don't underestimate me…!" He yelled as his hands glowed with energy, he blasted away the stream of energies with a blast of his own.
He gasped for air, he had been blown up fairly high into the sky by the beam, but he could make out a single figure flying towards him.
"You've got this, Yuya!" Yugo yelled, he was flying towards Kachidoki at full speed with Yuya as his normal form riding on his back.
"GOD, You just won't lose!" Kachidoki yelled as he flew towards them.
"What can we say?" Yugo yelled back, "We're just a whole shit-ton of stubbornness!" Yugo yelled, "You can do it Yuya! Go get em!" He yelled as he did a barrel-roll and caught Yuya in a large hand.
"GO LONG!" Yugo yelled as he chucked Yuya towards Kachidoki as hard as he could.
"Stay with me a little longer!" Yuya yelled as he surrounded himself in a blue and green light, "Supreme King Black Dragon! Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon!" He yelled as he transformed into the large black dragon again, black winds flowing around him as his wings opened up and grew larger thanks to the purple electricity.
He felt his hold on the transformation falter momentarily, he wouldn't be able to keep the transformation up for much longer.
"THIS ENDS NOW!" Both Yuya and Kachidoki yelled as they clashed in midair, Yuya's fangs glowing bright purple and the rest of his body covered in a deep black miasma.
"GOOOO!" Yuya's brothers yelled as Yuya finally broke past Kachidoki, Yuya reared his head and finally struck the finishing blow.
"Imperial Wrath's Revolt!" Yuya yelled as he finally struck Kachidoki, "STRIKE DISOBEY!" He yelled as he finally blasted Kachidoki away.
Kachidoki's transformation finally dissipated, his glowing tattoo cracked before shattering and disappearing for good.
"I… lost…" Kachidoki muttered, he chuckled as a smile filled his face, the pain shooting through his body as a cost of using the power he was just using was completely gone.
"Heh… I feel… satisfied, somehow…" He muttered as he closed his eyes.
Yuya's transformation faded as he finally ended the fight, a glowing bubble appeared around Kachidoki and slowly descended him to the ground, meanwhile, Yugo flew up and caught Yuya before he could start falling.
"Yuya…" Yugo muttered as they started to float back down to the ground, "Slow down and let us catch up, damn it!" He said jokingly.
Yuya laughed, "Yeah, yeah…" He said as he relaxed in Yugo's large, dragon arms.
Yuto suddenly collapsed back into his human form, "Hurry up and get that fucking orb on the pedestal…" he grunted, "I want actual medical attention… please…" He groaned.
"Yugo can do it… I'm beat…" Yuri muttered as he laid down and turned back into a human as well.
"Lazy…" Yuto muttered.
"Useless…" Yuri muttered back.
"Fuck you…" Yuto muttered back.
Yugo flew over and picked up the orb, handing it to Yuya as they flew onto the pedestal, finally passing the round.
The orb vanished in Yuya's hands as Yugo transformed back, they both collapsed on the ground, Yuto and Yuri started glowing as they were lifted into the air.
"Fucking finally…" Yuto muttered.
"Aww, does Widdle-Yuto need a Bwan-Daid?" Yuri said in a mocking, baby voice.
"No lunch for a week..." Yuto said coldly.
"Shutting up now…" Yuri responded immediately.
"Yuya!" Yuzu yelled as she ran up to him, "Yugo!" Rin yelled as she ran closely behind her, their sisters couldn't keep the smirks and giggles down as they walked behind them.
"Yuya…! Are you okay? Please tell me you're alive…!" She said as she started to fuss over him on the ground, Yuya grinned, "I think I might be dying…" He said with a grin.
"Aha…" Yuzu blurted out as a smile popped onto her face, "You dummy… don't be so damn reckless…" She muttered as she hugged him.
"Yugo… your side…" Rin muttered. Yugo's side had a particularly nasty gash on it, probably thanks to the spikes from before.
"Oh… hey Rin…" Yugo muttered as he stared into her eyes, "It's nothing… I'm fine…" He muttered, Rin frowned and quickly took out a medium-sized pink handkerchief, quickly pressing it against the bleeding wound.
"Rin… don't…" Yugo muttered, "What? Don't stop you from bleeding out?" Rin said with a frown, "You can repay me later by washing this thoroughly before giving it back…" She muttered as she applied pressure to the wound.
"Rin, I… about that… well… that time…" Yugo started to say, Rin looked at him.
"I'm… sorry…" He said with a blush on his face, Rin sighed and shook her head, "No… I'm sorry…" she said, "I… overreacted, and I shouldn't have been mad at you for so long…" She said as they stared into each other's eyes for a moment.
Click! Click!
Yuzu and Rin snapped their heads to the sound of what seemed like a camera clicking, they saw Ruri and Serena each taking a picture of the scene while smiling.
Their faces suddenly flushed, "A-AHHH!" They both screamed, Yuzu pulled out a large paper fan and smacked Yuya across the face with it, Rin suddenly let go of the handkerchief and sunk her fist deep into Yugo's stomach.
"ACK!" Yuya yelled as he felt the sting of Yuzu's fan run its way across his head.
"K-KOOOOHH…!" Yugo spat out as his face contorted with comedic pain as he felt pain shoot through him from his stomach, he quickly lost consciousness.
Yuzu and Rin suddenly realized what they had done and started panicking.
"A-AH! Yuya! I'm sorry!" Yuzu yelled out as she quickly started to fret over him.
"Y-YUGO! A-are you? Oh god, I'm so sorry!" Rin panicked as she quickly held the bloody handkerchief to Yugo's side again, despite Yugo now having completely lost consciousness.
Serena laughed loudly, "Oh, I am so posting this to my wall!" She cackled, Ruri smiled nervously behind her, "Sorry you two…!" She said with a kind smile.
Unfortunately for them, they got what was coming to them.
Suddenly, Yuto and Yuri appeared above them, immediately falling on top of them and bringing them both to the ground.
"Y-YURI!?" Serena yelled as the limp purple-headed boy laid on top of her with his head on her chest.
"Hmm… soft…" Yuri muttered with a blank face, Serena's face flushed.
"Why you…!" Serena started to yell as she started smacking his head, "Get off you heavy bastard!" She yelled angrily, Yuri's eye twitched.
"FUCK OFF, IM TRYING TO TAKE A NAP!" He yelled angrily.
"You are ON TOP OF ME, and YOU'RE HEAVY!" She yelled back.
"FUCK YOU!" Yuri returned.
"EXCUSE ME!?" Serena yelled back.
Meanwhile, Ruri…
"Y-Yuto…!" She gasped out as she felt his head rest in her own chest, her face was bright red, and her entire body had frozen up, "Y-You're o-on m-my chest…!" She squeaked out, her breathing was rapid, and her face red hot, her heart was pounding in her chest.
"Sorry…" Yuto muttered, his face was directly in her chest, so his speech was mostly muffled, "I actually can't move my body right now…" He said with a muffled voice, though nobody could see it, his face was red as well.
"H-Haaaaah…!" Ruri moaned as she resigned to her fate.
Suddenly, someone ran over while screaming insanely at a very high-pitch, something about "sisters".
As he got closer though, his screams became clearer, revealing to be…
"…get the FUCK away from my sisters you little SHITS, or I swear to god, I'll rip out your spine and shove it…"
You get the idea.
Kurosaki was running at top speed, he ran up and straight-up kicked Yuri off of Serena's body while screaming wildly.
Yuri hit the ground with a thud and stared at Kurosaki with murderous intent, "You wanna die, dipshit?" He said menacingly, Shun replied with a prompt middle finger.
He then ran over to Ruri, "Ruri! Are you okay!?" He yelled, he then noticed Yuto on her, he quickly shoved him roughly off of her before asking, "Yuto! Are you alive?" With concern.
"That shove was a little too rough… but I'll live… maybe…" Yuto muttered, Shun nodded before sitting down and staring at Yuya and Yugo, who was being doted on by Yuzu and Rin.
Shun's face remained blank, "I don't like it… but fine…" He muttered to himself as he re-evaluated what he thought of the brothers.
Yuto: Trustworthy, obviously the most mature out of the four.
Yugo: Dumbass, but I'll tolerate him.
Yuri: Attempt-to-kill on sight, no exceptions, he seems like the kind of guy who'll give a child drugs and then smile about it.
Yuya: Obviously the purest of the four, I don't like him, but I'll allow him to come into contact with Yuzu at least…
Yuri was glaring at him, obviously plotting his later demise.
Suddenly, all four of the boys started to glow purple, they felt their wounds begin to repair themselves while they glowed.
"What's happening?" Yuya asked, "Once somebody comes in here, they start healing shortly after, probably thanks to them…" Yuzu replied, pointing above them at the two magicians floating around a purple magic-circle.
"Oh good… I can feel my ribs shifting back into place…" Yuto muttered.
"Quit exaggerating…" Yuri muttered back.
"I don't even know if I'm exaggerating at this point, everything hurts…" Yuto replied.
Yuya sighed, "We did it…" He muttered as he slowly drifted off into sleep.
"Mr. Sakaki…"
"Mmf… yeah…?" Yuya muttered as he slept, the wooden desk his head was laying on seemed awfully comfortable today…
"You need to wake up…" Said the ghostly voice, Yuya elected to ignore it.
He heard a sigh, and then he suddenly felt a presence by his face.
"Don't say I didn't try to help you…" the voice muttered before leaving him, Yuya smiled as he thought he could finally sleep.
He suddenly felt a fist plow into the top of his head, "AH! WHAT!? I'M UP!" He yelled out frantically.
A series of laughs echoed through the room, Yuya looked around frantically, realizing where exactly he was.
"Pay attention in class… young man…" Muttered the voice of a dark-green haired woman as she walked away from him.
"Yuya…" Yuzu muttered, she can't say she didn't expect this.
It had been a month since the first round of the tournament.
Apparently, it was because they needed to ready everything for the tournament, and allow the students to focus on their studies until the next phase of the tournament began.
Yuya was now sitting in class, having just been rudely awoken from sleeping in said-class.
"Are my classes really that boring?" Yuma asked with a fake pout, Astral (obviously the one who had tried to wake him up first) floating next to him.
"N-no sir…!" Yuya said frantically as he quickly sat up in his seat, the teacher's fake pout turned into a grin, "Alright then! Now as I was saying…" He started to say as he started to write things on the blackboard behind him, Yuya quickly started writing notes down to catch up.
"You can't keep falling asleep in class, Yuya!" Yuzu scolded as they left the room, Yuya chuckled sheepishly, "Sorry, sorry!" He said cheerfully.
Yuzu suddenly shushed him and pulled him against the wall, "H-Huh…!" Yuya started to say, Yuzu quickly shushed him again, "Quiet!" She hissed as she peered along the corner of the wall they were pressed against, Yuya curiously did the same.
"Hey… you're pretty cute… ya know that?" Said the voice of a boy with crazy brown hair, his hand was on the wall, pinning Rin to the wall without even touching her.
"Is Rin in a Wall-Slam confession?" Yuya muttered, Yuzu quickly shushed him.
"T-Thanks…" Rin replied nervously, "I… have to get to class…" she said as she attempted to escape the cheesy love-confession technique.
"I know, I know…" Said the brown-haired boy, Yuya noticed that he had a bamboo sword on his back, did he do Kendo?
"But come on… meet me after school?" He asked with a large grin, Rin's face was red as she attempted to find an opening to get away, "I-I… uh…" She stuttered as his face slowly moved closer to her, "Come on… I really like you, ya know…" He muttered while Rin's breathing quickened.
"OI! Get away from her!"
"Yaiba… what are you doing…"
The first voice was a loud one, a voice that Yuya and Yuzu quickly recognized as Yugo's voice, he was now running over with an angry expression on his face.
The second voice was a female one, as well as a voice that sounded very tired, her skin was dark, and her arms were crossed as she walked over to the brown-haired boy and started to pull him away by the ear, "Stop being a flirt and get to class before you end up late again…" she muttered.
"Yeah, you better run!" Yugo yelled as he ran up next to Rin, "Remember me! My name is Yaiba Todo! I'll be seeing you around, beautifu-" He yelled before he cried out in pain while being dragged past another corner.
"Man…" Yugo muttered as he crossed his arms, "What a cocky bastard!" Yugo said irritably, Rin slowly started to catch her breath.
"Is this the beginning of…" Yuya started to say.
"A love triangle…?" Yuzu finished.
And it's done!
Man… I finished the first like, boss fight of this series, and I'm satisfied with that.
Anyways, I should probably rest my fingers from typing all the damn time… I'll see you next time!
The fun is just getting started!
