Coral: Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!

Aki: What's wrong with you?

Coral: I just can't wait for the next episode of Arc V to be up~!

Aki: Why?

Coral: Because Asuka is going to be in it! She is one of my favorite characters in the Yugioh series! And by the looks of it, she is on the good side! Oh I can't wait for next week~!

Aki: Okay, calm down there.

Coral: Okay~ Anyway, I do not own any Yugioh. The only OCs I own would be Kohaku, her father and her sister. The decks they own are also my doings. Every other OCs and their decks goes to their own creators.

*OPENING*

(Instrumental)(The scene begins with a nice top view of the island)

To the beginning sky... towards the shining light
(The camera looks up to the sky, having a nice view of it and the sun as the anime logo slowly appeared)
There's nothing to fear... because I'm here...
(Freakstar Dragon with Naruto on his back and Time Space Magician flew pass the logo the Spellcaster-type shined the crystal ball on his staff, changing the scene)

Falling countless times to your knees
Not protecting your own pride
(Kohaku slipped on a banana peel and was laughed at by many students. She laughed along with them)
Only coming up with just doubts
Do not close your eyes just yet
(Alex and Bella looked at the scene in slight envy at how she was, in a way, getting along with many others despite her being in Red and daughter of a famous circus' ringmaster and walked their separate ways)

I absolutely cannot see
the possibility that's here and now
(Judai was imagining himself as the next King of Games. Manjoume and his friends along with Chronos glared at how impossible it would be for him while Misawa, Shou and Hayato looked at him with interest or slight admiration)
When these tears turn into rain
I just want you to notice
(Asuka and Ryou were at the entrance of the Abandon Dorm and stared at a picture of the latter's brother with determination)

Spit out all the vexing things
Because there's a meaning for taking things
(Bella was remembering the time when she was younger, getting bullied and being isolated by others because of her powers. Her patience went to her limit as she accidentally summoned a monster and released it onto them)
Even if you desire everything, you don't need to grasp it all
(Alex was remembering when he was accepted into Duel Academy and told the principal that he wished to start at the lowest rank, just to be bullied by those of a higher rank)
Just keep a hold of one most important thing
(Kohaku placed her hands on their shoulders and snapped them out of the memory lane and smiled at them then pushed them to the rest of their friends)

In the beginning of the sky, I welcome you
do not ever look back just look forward
(Judai had out Flame Wingman, who fought against Chronos' Antique Gear Golem and Asuka's Cyber Blader, as Kohaku had out Time Space Magician, who was going head-to-head against Alex's Light and Darkness Dragon and Bella's Nine-Tailed Beast, Kurama)
If you feel the wind on your back
then there won't be anything to worry about
(Shou and his monsters were looking at his brother and his monsters with determination, who smirked in approval, causing the younger sibling to smile back)

If you would look around, you'd see all these smiling faces
(In another realm, it showed all of Kohaku, Bella, Alex, Judai, Shou, Hayato, and Asuka's monsters smiling at the camera)
Do not carry everything by yourself
(Kohaku was looking at her late sister's deck in her hand with a solemn look, the deck's monster spirits floating right by her side)
Don't rush either, the answer is along the way
(The scene turned dark and the whole gang were running towards the light)
you'll definitely find it for sure
(They arrived at a lighthouse, looking up at the night sky)


It was a nice afternoon and days since the presentation of Yugi's deck. Everything was normal by far. But like most days, that time of normal had to end somewhere.

Kohaku: 3200 LP
Judai: 0000 LP

WINNER: KOHAKU

"Oh man! I lost again!" Judai complained.

"Hahah! You'll never beat a performer, Judai!" Kohaku said.

"I will one day!"

"The day that will come, will be the day after I beat her," Alex said.

"Oh? Is that a challenge I hear?" Kohaku got in his face.

"Isn't that obvious?"

The two got into their dueling spot. "DUEL!"

"And here it goes again with them," Bella sighed.

"It's become a routine, hasn't it?" Tiffany asked.

"100 Duel Points that this will end in a 'draw'," Seth betted.

"Not involved," the girls said.

"I'll take that bet!" Judai accepted. "Good luck, Kohaku!"

"Traitor!" Alex shouted, taking his turn.

Unknown to the group, they were being watched by an Obelisk Blue student. He was glaring at them, especially one duelist in particular.

"I refuse to accept that those cards belongs to you," he muttered.


Later that day, both Kohaku and Bella were on their way to the Obelisk dorms for a sleepover. The two got permission from their headmasters to do so, especially since it wasn't a school night. Not far from them was a sneaky Obelisk male.

Once they arrived at the dorm, the male student managed to keep hidden from all sight, especially since it was dark out. He saw them exit the academy with a basket of shampoo and soap.

"Do you really need to bring your deck and disk though?" Bella asked Kohaku.

"You're one to talk. You have your's on you too," she said back. The two giggled and made their way to the baths, their stalker following them.

While they were bathing, their stuff in a locker, the stalker opened one of their lockers and took something from it, before closing it and sneaking away.


The next day, Kohaku and the gang asked everyone around if they found a deck or some cards laying around. Or at least someone with cards that didn't belong to them. All they got, by far, were negative answers.

"WHERE ARE THEY?!" Kohaku shouted to the skies.

"Calm down. We'll find them," Bella said.

The formererformer turned to her. "How could you say that?!"

"Hey, Bella's right. We'll find those cards," Alex assured.

"Hey! Guys!" Seth called. They turned and saw him and Tiffany running to them.

"We found him! We found the person who stole your deck!" the former idol shouted.


*MEANWHILE*

"Attack directly!"

Deck Stealer: 3500 LP
Opponent: 0000 LP

WINNER: DECK STEALER!

"I win! Now for what we bet on! Give me your deck!" He didn't wait for an answer and just yanked the deck out of his defeated opponent's duel disk.

"It's not fair!" the defeated, an Osiris, claimed. "You only beat me because you're using her deck! That deck wasn't yours to begin with!"

"That's where you're mistaken. This deck is clearly for me! Someone like her is not worthy of this deck! Or do you want another go? This time for your deck going to the water!"

"What?! You can't do that!"

"I just did."

"Hey!" Both duelists turned to the one who called and saw Kohaku, Bella, Alex, Seth and Tiffany standing not far from them, glaring at the jerk of a duelist.

"What do you want?" said jerk asked.

"What else?! Give back what you stole, Octavio!" Kohaku demanded.

"No. This deck isn't made for people like you. A true duelist is allowed to hold a deck like this one," Octavio insisted.

"Then I guess you're not a true duelist, if you went as low as to steal someone else's," Alex said.

"This isn't stealing; it's liberating."

"No it isn't! It's only called 'liberating' if you're saving it from a bad duelist!" Bella said.

"And people like you are bad duelists." He pointed at Bella. "You for being a monster." To Kohaku. "You for not taking duels seriously." To Alex. "You for not taking advantage of your reputation." To Seth. "You for sneaking your way in." To Tiffany. "And you for thinking it's as easy as being an idol."

They all glared at him at the accusations.

"You have no right whatsoever to accuse us as so!" the youngest of the five exclaimed.

"Well then, if the owner of this deck wants it back, then she'll have to duel me for it. Oh but wait, she only has this deck!" Octavio mocked.

"That's what you think!" Kohaku glared.

Bella put an arm out in front of her, causing her to stay in her spot. "All right then. It's a deal." The group looked at Bella in slight shock.

"Then come at me." He activated his duel disk.

The true owner of the deck he was using, much to his surprise, took out another deck and inserted it in the deck slot.

"You have another deck?!"

"Enough talk! Now let's-!"

"DUEL!"

Octavio 4000 LP
Bella: 4000 LP (Ha! You all thought it was Kohaku, didn't you!)

"I start first! Draw!" Bella drew her sixth card. "I summon Straw Hat Pirate, Luffy in Attack Mode!" A teenage boy wearing a red vest, short jeans, sandals and a straw hat appeared on the field.

Straw Hat Pirate, Luffy: Level 4/FIRE/Warrior/1800 ATK/2100 DEF

"Yosh! Come at me!" he challenged.

"I set two cards face-down and end my turn!"

"That's it? That's all that deck of yours can do?" Octavio asked. "This is going to be too easy! My turn! Draw!" He drew his sixth card. "I summon Konohagakure Shinobi Team Guy, Rock Lee!" Sasuke appeared on his field, eyes dull.

Konohagakure Shinobi Team Guy, Rock Lee: Level 4/EARTH/Warrior/2100 ATK/1600 DEF

"Now I attack with Rock Lee! And when Rock Lee attacks, my opponent cannot activate card or effects!" Rock Lee charged at Luffy and delivered a powerful kick to the head. To everyone's surprise, the latter's hear was sent flying, but was still attached to the neck as it was actually stretching quite far back.

"Huh?!" they questioned.

Octavio 4000 LP
Bella: 3700 LP

"What?! Why isn't your monster destroyed?!" the male Obelisk asked.

"Simple. Luffy cannot be destroyed by battle," the female Obelisk answered. "Now do you end your turn?"

"It was a nice try though," the apparent rubber boy said with a grin.

He gritted his teeth. "I end with two cards face-down."

"My turn! Draw!" Bella drew her next card. "I activate the Equip Magic, Second Gear! This card can only be equipped to Luffy! With this, his attack is increased by 1000!" Luffy got into a squatting position and placed a fist on the ground. He pumped his legs a few times and got red and steamy.

Straw Hat Pirate, Luffy: 1800 + 1000 = 2800 ATK

"Next I summon his friend, Straw Hat Pirate, Zoro!" A guy with green hair hiddened by his dark green bandana appeared on the field.

Straw Hat Pirate, Zoro: Level 4/WIND/Warrior/2000 ATK/1200 DEF

"Hey there, Zoro!" Luffy greeted.

"Ho? Looks like we're going up against those ninjas. This is great. I want payback for what that little blondie did the other day," the guy said.

Bella, Kohaku and Alex sweat dropped at what he said.

"Anyway... Battle! I attack Rock Lee with Luffy!" Bella declared.

Luffy suddenly got right at Rock Lee's face. "Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol!" He then gave a hard punch to his face. It was impossible to see, but he definitely punched the ninja and sent him flying.

Octavio 3300 LP
Bella: 3700 LP

"I activate the Trap Card, Call of the Living Dead! With it I Special Summon Rock Lee back to my field!" Said ninja came back from the dead.

"I am still going to attack with Zoro!" Bella declared, much to her friends' shock and Lctavio's amusement.

"You're such an idiot! That guy's ATK is so low compared to my monster!" he mocked.

"Who said I'm attacking Rock Lee? Zoro is able to attack directly. Doing so, however, the Battle Damage inflicted this day is halved."

Now to her opponent's shock, Zoro took out all three of his swords and placed one in his mouth. He held the two swords horizontally above his shoulders. "Santouryu: Hyakuhachi Pound Ho!" He swung them down, launching a powerful compressed air projectile at Octavio.

Octavio 2300 LP
Bella: 3700 LP

"Damn it... You'll pay for that, you monster!"

"Hey, it's not like you got hurt from that attack. Thanks to Kohaku's training," Bella defended.

"Shut up! After I'm done with you, I'm taking your deck as well as your friends'! You people have no right to become duelists!" Hearing those words made Bella and the bystanders really angry. "My turn! Draw!" Octavio drew his next card. He smirked at the sight of it. "I summon Konohahakure Shinobi Team 7, Naruto!" The usual energetic ninja appeared on his field, only to have dull eyes like Rock Lee and act not so energetic.

Konohagakure Shinobi Team 7, Naruto: Level 4/WIND/Warrior/1400 ATK/800 DEF

"Then I activate Tailed-Beast Changer and have this weak ninja become the monster it truly is! Come forth, Nine-Tailed Beast, Kurama!" Naruto changed into the nine tailed fox monster.

Nine-Tailed Beast, Kurama: Level 9/FIRE/Beast/3000 ATK/3000 DEF

"Now I attack Zoro with Kurama! And while it does that, I activate the Instant Magic, Duel Fusion - Battle Fusion! This card can only be activated if a monster I control battles an opponent's monster! My monster's ATK increases by the ATK of the opponent's monster! Also, I activate the Instant Magic, Giant Shadow of Egoism! This gives Kurama 1000 more ATK!" Kurama's body was covered in a red aura as his power increased, a lot.

Nine-Tailed Beast, Kurama: 3000 + 2000 + 1000 = 6000 ATK

"I activate my trap card, Half Unbreak! A monster I control won't be destroyed by battle and any battle damage I take from attacks involving it is halved!" A bubble barrier appeared and defended Zoro from the Fusion Monster's attack.

Octavio 2300 LP
Bella: 1700 LP

"Thanks for the support," the swordsman thanked.

"However, I can still attack with Rock Lee!" Octavio declared, as the ninja went and landed a kick on the barrier.

Octavio 2300 LP
Bella: 1650 LP

"I end my turn. And Kurama's ATK returns to normal."

Nine-Tailed Beast, Kurama: 6000 - 3000 = 3000 ATK

"My turn. Draw!" Bella drew her next card. "All right. I summon Straw Hat Pirate, Sanji!" A blonde man with curly eyebrows appeared on her field.

Straw Hat Pirate, Sanji: Level 4/LIGHT/Warrior/2100 ATK/1500 DEF

"Why did you bring him out?" Zoro questioned. "We don't need curly-eyebrows with us."

The newly summoned pirate got to his face. "Did you say something, marimo?"

"You got a problem hearing, deaf cook?!"

Before the two could get into a brawl, Bella continued with her turn. "Next I activate the Magic Card, Monster Tri-Attack! This card can only be activated if I have Luffy, Zoro and Sanji on the field! All my opponent's monsters are destroyed and, for each the destroyed monsters' level, my opponent loses 100 points of damage!"

Octavio gasped as the three pirates attacked and destroyed Rock Lee and Kurama, as well as dealing some damage to the male duelist.

Octavio 1000 LP
Bella: 1650 LP

"Using this card, none of the three monsters can attack. I end my turn!"

Octavio growled at Bella. "My turn!" He drew his next card and smirked at the mere sight of it. "Now I summon Takigakure Shinobi, Fu!" A tan-skinned girl with light blue hair appeared on the field.

Takigakure Shinobi, Fu: Level 4/WIND/Warrior/1700 ATK/1700 DEF

"Then from my Graveyard, I activate Tailed-Beast Changer's effect! By banishing it from my Graveyard, I am able to banish a monster I control or in my graveyard whose name is in the next of the monster that can be summoned by this card. I banish Fu and summon out the beast in it! Or should I say insect?!" The new ninja crouched down as she felt something inside of her wanting to be released. "I banish this card and Fu to summon out Seven-Tailed Beetle, Chomei!" A rhinoceros beetle with six wings and a tail appeared from her.

Seven-Tailed Beetle, Chomei: Level 7/WIND/Insect/2700 ATK/2000 DEF

"Then I activate my face-down card, Life-Shaving Treasured Cards! This allows me to draw until I have five cards in my hand!" He drew his cards. "Then I use Chomei's effect to discard a number or cards in my hand equal to or less than the amount of monsters my opponent controls. For each card discarded, a Dust Counter is placed on their monster!" As Octavio discarded three cards from his hand, Chomei shot out three rounds of powder from its mouth, covering the three pirates in them.

"What are these stuff?!" Luffy asked, as his skin was returning to its normal color.

"M-my strength..." Zoro spoke.

"I'm losing them..." Sanji followed, as the three got to their knees.

"Monsters with Dust Counters loses half their ATK," the male Obelisk added on.

Straw Hat Pirate, Luffy: 2800 / 2 = 1400 ATK

Straw Hat Pirate, Zoro: 2000 / 2 = 1000 ATK

Straw Hat Pirate, Sanji: 2100 / 2 = 1050 ATK

"And I will use Chomei's other effect. By discarding one card from my hand, I can destroy one Magic or Trap card my opponent controls!" Octavio discarded another card and Chomei sent a horde of insects over to devour Bella's remaining face-down.

"Bella's card!" Seth gasped.

"Not good!" Tiffany said.

"Now you're as good as dead! And I am going to get your deck as a trophy! After that, I'll duel your friends and get their decks as well!" They gave him harder glares than before. "Battle! I attack Zoro with Chomei!" The Insect-Type monster charged at the Warrior-Type.

"Bella/Look out!" Kohaku and Alex shouted.

"From my Graveyard, I activate the Magic Card you just destroyed, Unpredictable Weather! When my opponent declares an attack while this card is in my Graveyard, I can banish this card and pay half my Life Points to call a card type. Then I reveal the top card of my deck! If the card is the same as the one I called, the attack is negated and I add that card to my hand! Otherwise, I send the card to the graveyard and the attack will go through," she intervened.

Octavio 1000 LP
Bella: 825 LP

"So you're betting? I doubt you will call right," Octavio said.

She placed her hand on her deck. "You don't know that." Everything was silent from there. On the sidelines, everyone was hoping for her to call right. "I choose... Monster card!" She drew her next card and revealed it for everyone to see.

"It came!" her friends cheered.

"What?!" her opponent gasped.

"Monster card, Straw Hat Pirate, Chopper! Your attack is stopped!" Another barrier appeared and protected Zoro from the Fusion Monster's move.

Octavio gritted his teeth at Bella's luck. "I end my turn with one card face down."

"My turn. Draw!" Bella drew her next card. "I summon Straw Hat Pirate, Chopper!" A small tanuki-like creature with a pink hat with antlers on them appeared on her field.

Straw Hat Pirate, Chopper: Level 4/LIGHT/Beast/500 ATK/500 DEF

"Awww~! How cute!" Tiffany commented.

Chopper heard the comment and did a silly little dance. "I-Idiot! Calling me cute doesn't make me happy~! You dummy~!"

"Oh! That's cuter!"

"Hah! You think a pipsqueak can change things?! You're completely delusional!" the male Obelisk insulted.

"I don't think; I know. Especially once I activate this card. I activate the Continuous Magic, Rumble Ball! This card can only be activated if Choper is on the field! Through it, once per turn, a dice is rolled! Depending on the number it lands on, an effect is activated!" A dice appeared and was spinning wildly in place.

"So she has some chance of getting something good," Alex said.

"Let's hope that something good can help her win," Kohaku said.

A couple seconds later, the dice came to a sudden stop, revealing the number 1.

"Yes! It landed on a one!" Bella cheered. "Since it landed on one, this turn, Chopper's ATK becomes 1000!"

A pill of some kind appeared in front of the small pirate as he went and ate it whole. The next thing anyone knew, he got a lot taller and his form became more human.

Straw Hat Pirate, Chopper: 500 -} 1000 ATK

"And what good does that do? It won't beat my monster!" Octavio laughed.

"Who said I have to beat it? The only thing I have to do is defeat you! And if I can't do that by beating Chomei, I'll just have to go around it!"

"And it's a good thing this form was chosen!" Chopper added, not that half the people would hear him.

"During the Battle Phase, Chopper can attack directly while he's in this form!" Everyone looked shocked or relieved at the mention of this. "Battle! Go Chopper! Attack the player directly! Kokutei Jump Kick!" The shape shifting tanuki jumped over the Fusion Monster and went to attack Octavio.

"Trap card open! Magic Cylinder! Your attack is sent back at you and this duel is my win!" he instantly declared.

"Is that a fact?" Octavio tensed at her question. "I see to recall that in Jumping Point, Chopper won't be affected by card effects until the end of the Damage Step." True to her words, the Beast-Type broke the two cylinders and continued on with his attack. The attack hits Octavio in the gut and the duel had ended.

Octavio 0000 LP
Bella: 825 LP

WINNER: BELLA!

"She did it!" Bella's friends cheered.

"That's not possible!" the defeated duelist shouted. "How?! How could you have defeated me?!"

"Isn't that obvious? It's because you took a deck that wasn't yours to begin with," Seth reasoned.

"Don't speak such idiotic nonsense!" Or tried to. "I know these cards are perfect for me! Their effects, the strategies! This is the deck that is to define me and yet!"

"Is that so?" a voice nearby asked. They looked to the source and saw Kazato leaning against a tree.

"Dad! When did you-?"

"Since the beginning of this duel," he answered his daughter. "Octavio, just because someone has a deck you like doesn't make that deck your soul mate or anything like that. These kids spent their time organizing and creating a deck that defines themselves. But you! You just stole a deck that someone has always had since childhood! You, boy, are no duelist. I may not be your teacher yet, but that doesn't mean I can't start acting like one now." Kazato took Octavio by the arm and took the duel disk off his person. "You are coming with me to the principal's office! And after that, we will give everyone back the decks and cards you took!" Without another word, he dragged the moping Octavio to the headmaster's office.

"Serves him right," Seth said.

"After everything he said about us, he should be expelled," Tiffany said. "He's even worse than Kagurazaka."

Everyone nodded in agreement, considering said Ra only copies other people's decks, not steal them.

"As for me, I need to order a lock," Bella said. "This is the second time someone took something of mine while I was bathing."

"Either you need a lock or the female dormitory's bathhouse needs better security," Kohaku stated.

"Well, whatever the case, let's just hope nothing crazy happens for another week. I mean, seriously. We do not need a non-stop crazy routine here," Alex said.

Everyone else just laughed at his words, despite how true they were.

"My god, these guys," Chris sighed, as she and the other duel monster spirits looked down at their owners below them.

"Well, what can we do about them? This is who they are," Lightpulsar Dragon said.

"Huh? What happened to me?" Naruto asked, rubbing the back of his head.

"Don't worry about it," Time Space Magician simply told him.

"By the way, Bella," Kohaku began. She and everyone else got to Bella's face. "WHY DID YOU SAY NOTHING ABOUT HAVING DIFFERENT DECKS?!"

"H-huh?!" the poor girl asked.

"You heard me! Why didn't you tell us you can use two decks like me?!"

"I-It never came up. Besides I actually have more than two decks."

"EHHHHH?!" they gasped even louder.

"No way! Are you serious?!" Seth asked next.

"Oh! I definitely want to go against all of them! Right here! Right now! Just for the thrill of doing different performances!" Kohaku declared, taking out her duel disk and inserting one of her two decks in it.

Seeing that there was no point in talking her out of it, Bella accepted the challenge and everyone else stepped back.

"DUEL!"
