Chapter 51 Friendship Finale Part 1
Yuya and Hana finally found their friends as they rushed toward them. Katrina and Vivian rush toward them and Katrina says, "Brother, you've come."
"I heard you defeat Captain Barrett, that is no small feat." Sona says.
"Well, I can't really say I defeated him since Hana comes to help me break his chains." Yuya rubs his head.
"That is nice of you." Mark says as Hana blushes.
Reiji says, "But still, even Academia or Sergey is gone, there is still Roget. He is the last Dark Signer we need to face."
Yuya says, "I see. We've better hurry."
"Yuya!" a voice calls out, and they turn around and see Sam behind them. "I finally found you!"
"Sam! Why are you here!?" Yuya asks.
"I was searching for you, Yuya! Jack asked me to." Sam explains.
"Jack did?" Yuya asks.
"Yes. He said there was a message he needed you to hear." Sam explains.
Then he says the same words that Jack tells Yuni to Yuya. Yuya says, "No reason for us to fight? Great, that Roget..."
Katrina says, "But Sister should have told him that you were being controlled by Roget."
"Jack wanted to make sure you were told this, that is what my role is." Sam says. "Jack told me if that isn't the Dueling that you're aiming for… Prove it to him in a Duel! That this is the Dueling Sakaki Yuya believes in! If you are trying to accomplish something then… Don't falter!"
"The Duelling I believe in from the bottom of my heart…" Yuya mutters. "Is for making everyone have fun and smile! Everyone was loving Yuni's Duel and smiled..."
Yuya turns to Reisho and says, "Reisho, we need to split into 2 groups now."
"Huh?" Reisho asks.
"One group goes to the Security headquarters to save the Security as well as the tops who are remade. While the other group follows me to the Duel Palace!" Yuya says.
Reiji says, "I see what you're planning. Then I'll go to the Security."
Sora, Yuri, Sona, Shun and his parents, Katrina, Vivian, and Tsukikage go with Reiji while the rest decide to go with Yuya to the Palace. When the first group arrives at the Duel Palace, They see Security waiting for them. "Damn it...how are we supposed to get in?" Sawatari says.
"I think this is the only way to stop this." Yuya takes out the card, much to their shock.
In his office, Roget is trying to call Sergey. "Revive! Hurry up and revive Sergey! You're immoral…immortal! " Roger yells.
Then Sergey states when offline. "No…" Roget gasps and gets up from his chair in shock.
"This can't happen…Sergey is…My trump card!" Roget said in shock. "My dream is…! Curse you! Curse you!"
At the same time, Sakaki Yuni rides back to the duel course, with a broken Sergey in her hands.
"I wonder if I can fix him and even rewrite his program..." Yuni sighs as she decides to card him. But once it is done, she feels the ground shaking as she turns to see Zarc in the sky.
"Zarc?" Yuni gasps as well as Zarnie. Risu says, "What was that giant dragon?"
Zarine says, "That is Zarc...my brother..."
At the same time, Yuya yells, "When Zarc is summoned successfully, I can destroy all your monsters and give you damage equal to their ATK!"
The dragon shoots out red electricity and knocks out all the Security. After that, Zarc disappears and then Crow says, "You have that kind of dragon as well?"
Yuya says, "I thought that you are used to this since my sister and Yuzu did the same before."
"Hey, how are we supposed to react to the big dragons?" Sawatari yells.
"Regardless, let's get inside." Reisho says as they get inside. When they do, they see Yuni rushing toward them.
"Brother!" Yuni says as she hugs her brother. Yuya says, "Yuni, well done defeating Sergey."
"Thanks." Yuni says. "So I guess the others are infiltrating the Security building to save Yuzu and Ruri?"
"Yes." Yuya says. "Yuni, I have a plan." He then explains his idea.
Melissa and her crew fly back to the stadium and she sees the group. "What? What is going on? Hey, guys! Start the broadcast! I've got the feeling things are going to get interesting! Let's go!" Melissa tells her staff and they rush out onto the field.
"The ones making this sudden appearance are Sakaki Yuya, Sakaki Yuni, and Akaba Reisho! Three of the Duelists got into the semi-finals! What are they planning to do in this situation?! Could they be planning to do their semi-finals of the Friendship Cup?"
Yuni notices her and then says takes her microphone, she says, "Sorry, I'm going to borrow this for a bit!"
"Hey! What are you doing?" Melissa asks.
"Sorry, but my brother has something he wants to say." Then she throws the microphone at Yuya. "Everyone, please listen! I want all of the Tops and Commons to stop fighting and hear me out!"
This causes everyone to look at him on the screen. Reisho says, "In the Friendship Cup, due to this mess from Academia and Security, we have decided. Yuni, Yugo, and I decide to forfeit the match and let Yuya becomes the winner so he can face the King: Jack Atlas!"
This causes gasps among the citizens. "I won't let you do as you please under my martial law! These finals are canceled!" Roget states as he watches.
White Taki then appears on the screen, "Your authority has already been terminated. So we of the council already see your martial law as no longer in effect."
"You meddling fossils! You still intend to get in my way after all this!?" Roger says.
"I want to tell everyone… Dueling isn't a tool for conflict! Dueling is for making people happy, and making them smile! I will prove that in this Duel!" Yuya announces as he points to where Jack is. Jack gets up from his throne and looks at Yuya.
At the same time, Roget madly yells, "I won't let you do as you please! Sakaki Yuya, Sakaki Yuni, Jack Atlas...! And the Council...I will remind you...That I, Jean Michel-Roget, am the true wielder of authority in this City!"
Following Roget's order, the Security entered the Duel Palace, facing the Lancers. But they are defeated easily as Yuni quickly gets the control chips from their helmets.
"They annihilated Security?" "What are those guys?!" "Now there's no Security left!" "Let's beat up those guys!"
As both Tops and Commons charge into the Duel Palace, Jack yells, "Silence!"
Everyone is shocked to see Jack, and he says, "I, the king, will not allow you to defile this sacred place for Duelists with your violence and blood!"
From that command, everyone stops whatever they are doing and their attention goes to the Duel King. "Listen! Sakaki Yuya and I are about to start a Duel with the fate of the City on the line! I don't care who you are, I will not allow you to interfere! If you care about the future of this City, then watch this Duel!"
Roget asks, "What are you saying?! You are not the one who will decide the future, I AM!"
He bursts out in insane laughter and covers his eyes, relenting and admitting, "Well, that's fine then. If you want to Duel that much, I'll let you! If either of you manages to live through it, that is!"
Melissa stands by her helicopter, musing, "Since he said it was a Duel to decide the future of the City, there's no way anyone wouldn't let him. I know that I would regret not being able to finish commentating on this on my own. Now that it's come to this, I will bet my future as a caster on those two!"
The helicopter lifts off and Melissa muses, "With the forfeit of Yugo, Sakaki Yuni, and Akaba Reisho. The Friendship Cup final match, Sakaki Yuya vs. Jack Atlas."
"First is Sakaki Yuya's entrance!" Melissa announces as Yuya makes his entrance.
"We're counting on you, Yuya!" Frank cheers.
"For the City's future!" Amanda also cheers.
"Do your best!" Tanner yells.
"This kinda eats at me... He's not even that much more skilled than me, so why does he get all the good parts?" Sawatari laments.
"Just like cards, people each have their own roles to fulfill. Right, Sam?" Choujiro asks.
"Yes, Jack said so himself." Sam replies.
"Wait, then does that mean my role is to be in the background then!?" Sawatari yells. "Even though I wield the Big Star?!"
"Be quiet already." Yuni sighs. "It's the real star, no...the King's entrance is starting."
"Now, it's finally time for his entrance! The star of the City, Jack Atlas!" Melissa yells.
A king card rises in the air overlain with the words "King Jack Atlas" and spotlights snap on. Melissa cheers that it's finally time for Jack's entrance. Jack enters the stadium from another cloud of smoke, his Phoenix Whirlwind gliding through the air. The crowd cheers as spotlights track Jack as he lands, spins, and speeds forwards.
He points towards the sky in his signature pose, declaring, "There is only one king, me!"
The Tops and the Commons both cheer Jack's name and Melissa states, "As expected of the pride of this City, the Duel King Jack Atlas! Just by making his appearance in the Duel Palace, he's captured the hearts of the audience! I wonder what kind of Entertainment they're going to show us in this Finals Match?!"
Jack stops beside Yuya and Yuya says to Yugo, "I am sorry Yugo, that you give me this duel."
Yugo says, "Don't worry. Besides, we are the same person as well. It is like I am dueling Jack myself."
"I am glad you think so." Yuya says as he takes a deep breath. Yuya says, "I'm here carrying the feelings of Shinji, Crow, and everyone who has lost to me in this tournament!"
"Yuya..." Crow mutters.
"And not only them! I, along with all of my friends and family who have helped me walk this path, am going to fight you, Jack Atlas!" Yuya says as he shows his seriousness.
Jack looks away and states, "The true King must always carry with him the feelings of those who were defeated. Then stand proud! Be a man who's fitting to challenge the King, Sakaki Yuya!"
Melissa says, "In the history of our tournament finals, we've never had such a ridiculous situation as this. But that's why I think this is a meaning to this battle. After all, this is the Friendship Cup! A tournament that is here to make the City one and everyone friends! Well, here I'm trying to say something cool...That all aside, don't you all want to see this? A heated match between the Duel King Jack Atlas and Sakaki Yuya, who has fought his way back up after the draw in the Exhibition Match! So with that, let's get this started! Action Field on! Crossover Accel!"
The purple light spreads over New Domino City. "Duel Mode: On. Autopilot: Standby."
"Riding duel...Acceleration!" Melissa yells as the two duelists ride off. "Duel!" (Jack:4000)(Yuya:4000)
Yuya this time gets the first turn and he says, "I'll go first. With the dueling I believe in, I'll show you I can make you and everyone else smile! I summon Blue Expense Falcon!" (ATK:800/DEF:800 LV:2)
As the Winged Beast tuner appears, he says, "Then I use its effect, I special summon Bright Star Dragon from my hand!" (ATK:1900/DEF:1000 LV:4)
As the dragon appears, he says, "Since Bright Star Dragon is summoned, I can increase my Blue Expense Falcon's Level by 2! Now I tune my Level 4 Bright Star Dragon with Level 4 Blue Expense Falcon! Clustering wishes will become a new shining star. Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Take Flight! Neo Stardust Dragon!" (ATK:2500/DEF:2000 LV:8 PS:5)
As the dragon appears on the field, Yuya says, "I set one card and end my turn."
Melissa says, "Sakaki Yuya Synchro Summoned in the first turn! Now, what will Jack do?"
Roget laughs as he comments, "It's too bad, but this is the end for the lot of you. You will all fall down the path of destruction!"
Melissa notices something and says, "There's something on the course...! What the...Why are the Duel Chasers there?! And there are 15 Goyo Emperors!"
Five Duel Chasers, each controlling three Goyo Emperors on the field are coming to them. Jack scowls and he ramps up the side of the track and flips over the Duel Chasers, who turn and pursue him.
"Battle Royal Mode: Joining!" Yuya's D-Wheel announces as he groans, "That Roget..."
"Huh? The Duel Chasers are joining in?!" Melissa asks.
Yuni sighs, "Why can't he give that it is not in his favor..."
Reisho says, "He is annoying."
Jack says, "Roget huh? Pulling such petty tricks in front of the King!"
"I'll never give in. No matter what methods it takes, all who defy me will meet their end! Get them! 5-man Squad of Duel Chasers!" Roget yells.
One of the Duel Chasers attacks Stardust with a Goyo Emperor, who breathes a jet of fire at the dragon.
Yuya picks an Action Card and says, "Action Magic: Big Escape! I end the Battle Phase!"
The Duel chaser grits his teeth as his battle phase is ended. Jack says, "My turn! I won't let Roget, who is steeped in his own selfishness, interfere with our duel! If my opponent controls a monster while I don't, I summon Vice Dragon, but its ATK and DEF are halved."
As the dragon appears, he says, "And I summon Dark Resonator!" As the monster appears, he says, "I tune Level 5 Vice Dragon with Level 3 Dark Resonator! Howl of the ruler, shake the heavens and the earth! Engrave the power of the one and only supreme ruler into yourself! Synchro Summon! Raging soul, Red Demon Dragon Scarlight!" (ATK:3000/DEF:2500 LV:8)
As the dragon appears, Jack picks an Action Card and says, "All of those who do not understand the true principles of Dueling will be erased from my sight! I use Action Magic: High Dive! All of my monsters will gain 1000 ATK until the end of my turn. (ATK:3000-4000) I activate Red Demon Dragon Scarlight's effect! Once per turn, it can destroy all Special Summoned monsters with less or equal ATK than itself! Absolute Power Flame!"
Red Dragon concentrates flames around its right arm and uses its effect, smashing its fist into the track and causing a giant wave of fire to consume the other monsters, causing the Duel Chasers to gasp in shock and they are sent flying. (DC:4000-0)
Then the flames approach Yuya as well and he disappears behind a climb of smoke. "And it will deal 500 damage for each monster destroyed this way!"
As Melissa's helicopter flies over the cloud of smoke, Melissa notes, "Jack has destroyed 16 monsters! 16 times 500 is...8000!"
"Yuya!" Frank yells.
"Did Yuya get taken out too?" Tanner asks.
"No way." Amanda adds.
Yuni says, "No, Brother is..."
Yuya says, "I banish Stardust to negate an effect that will destroy my card. And since my monster doesn't get destroyed by this effect, so I won't get any damage!"
"Yuya is safe!" Melissa says. "He made it out by the skin of his teeth!"
"All right!" Frank and Tanner cheer.
"Thank goodness!" Amanda says.
"Sheesh, got us worried for nothing!" Tokumatsu says.
"It's too early to be at ease." Mark adds.
"You won't escape merely by dodging the effect! Battle! Go! Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight! Attack Sakaki Yuya directly! Infernal Crimson Hell Burning!" Jack declares Battle Phase, attacking Yuya who no longer has any Monster on his Field.
Yuya says, "I activate my Trap Card: Stardust Shine! When this turn my Stardust Dragon is removed from the field while I get a direct attack, I can summon it back by reducing one level and drawing two cards.
As the dragon comes back, Yuya draws two cards, Jack says, "You managed to hang on? But don't think you'll be able to accomplish anything by drawing cards blindly! I set one card and end my turn."
Melissa observes, "I won't even let the Director of Public Safety interfere in this Duel!" You can feel Jack's passionate will in how he plays!"
"SHUT UP!" Roget rises from his chair, slams his fists down and he roars. One of his staff contacts him and Roget angrily asks, "What now?"
"Director! We have an unexpected problem! Duelists who we believe are Lancers have sneaked into the base and are currently in combat with their Sector Security forces!"
Roget is horrified and gasps, "What?!"
At the same time, Manibus just defeated another Goyo Predator while Flesh Eater just attacked another Security.
"These guys don't even flinch at seeing their comrades beaten in one turn..." Sora says.
"They have no emotions. It's obvious that Roget has brainwashed them under his control as well." Tsukikage says.
"So in order to save Yuzu and Ruri, we have to remove their brainwashing." Shun says.
Yuya says, "I won't ever surrender in this duel! My turn!" He sees Tuning Magician in his hand and says, "I Normal Summon Tuning Magician from my hand! (ATK:0/DEF:0 LV:1) When this card is Normal Summoned, I restore 400 LP to my opponent and take 400 myself." (Yuya:4000-3600)(Jack:4000-4400)
After the monster is summoned, "With this card Sam entrusted me, I'm able to have my new Synchro Monster."
"Then show me if that power you've obtained has made you worthy to stand in front of the King!" Jack yells.
"I Tune my Level 7 Stardust Dragon with Level 1 Tuning Magician! Hero's blade that sets forth unyielding light! Awaken here and now with a flash! Synchro Summon! Level 8! Enlightenment Paladin (ATK:2500/DEF:2000/LV:8)!"
Sam says, "It's the Synchro Monster Yuya used to teach me that there are no useless cards!"
"I use Action Magic, Take Flight. I add 800 ATK to my monster. (ATK:2500-3300) Battle! I attack Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight with Enlightenment Paladin!"
"I activate Trap Card: Red Crystal! This Turn, Red Monsters cannot be destroyed!" Jack says. (Jack:4400-4100)
"He took damage, but he has protected the symbol of himself, Red Demon's!" Melissa says. "This! This is what you truly call a King's Duel!"
"Damn it!" Yuya mutters. "I use Scale 1 Entermate Gumgumouton and Scale 6 Entermate Bubble Dog, I Set the Pendulum Scale! Now I can simultaneously Summon Level 2 to 5 Monsters! Pendulum Summon! Come forth, Neo Stardust Dragon!"
As the dragon is back, he says, "I set one card and end my turn. At the same time, Enlightenment Paladin's ATK returned to normal." (ATK:3300-2500)
Ron says, "Jack certainly is a tough shell to crack."
Jean says, "Jack manages to fend off Enlightenment Paladin... do you have another plan ready, Yuya?"
Jack says, "Tuning Magician is still a borrowed monster, I want you to show me your own dueling! It doesn't deserve the title of Enlightenment! You have no other choice left but to kneel in front of the King! My turn! With Red Demon's effect, I destroy all Special Summoned monsters with less or equal than 3000 ATK! Absolute Power Flame!"
Red Dragon gathers the flames around its cast again and releases the fire from its fist. Yuya yells, "I activate Entermate Bubble Dog's Pendulum Effect! It destroys itself and negates a destruction effect!"
Bubble Dog explodes and releases pink bubbles that surround and protect Enlightenment Paladin and Stardust Dragon. Melissa says, "Yuya also protected his own monsters!"
"Then, battle! I attack Enlightenment Paladin with Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight! Infernal Crimson Hell Burning!" Jack attacks the Magician.
"I activate Entermate Gumgumouton's Pendulum Effect! Once per Turn, I negate destruction by Battle!" Yuya says.
"But you will take damage!" (Yuya:3600-3400) Jack says, "I set one card and end my turn. So you held on with Pendulum Effects then? If only that served as a way for you to surpass yourself!"
In the control room, the other Lancers have barged in after defeating all the Arrest Corps.
"There's no mistaking it, this is definitely the main control system!" Sora points at the big monitor in the room.
"If we destroy it, the Security will be freed from Roget's control. Let's do it." Shun turns to Tsukikage, who nodded in return, knowing what to do.
"Magic Card: Technique of Katon!" Tsukikage activates his Magic Card, burning down the whole main control system.
At the same time, Yuzu, who has Winterbell by her side and Ruri, hears the explosion from the Control room, Ruri asks, "Alarms? What happened?"
Yuzu says, "Don't tell me the rioting have even made their way here?"
Just then, Roget appears and says, "Where do you think you're going?"
The two girls see him activating the Duel disk, Yuzu says, "So you want a fight, huh?"
"Fine by us." Ruri says as they activate their duel disks.
"Now that it has come to this, I'm not letting both of you go!" Roget yells.
Back in the city, the Security is back to normal as they don't know what they are doing, but they are in fear since they see both Tops and Commons fighting together to attack them.
Melissa says, "During Jack and Yuya's heated Duel, Commons and Tops have started to overwhelm Security throughout the City! Hey you guys! Quit doing that and focus on their Duel!"
Yuni looks at the Control Chips, who just shut up. " Katrina and the others must have done it."
Reisho says, "But if this keeps up, the now freed Security will be the victims of Tops and Commons. The riots will only escalate."
The two nod as Reisho says, "All Lancers are to follow me!"
"Are you going to take out all of the people?!" Frank asks.
Ryu says, "Don't worry about it, even if we are strong, we won't go as far as suppressing them with brute force."
"We're going out to stop them from fighting." Gongenzaka confirms.
"That's what we came here for! Not only the City but to stop fighting across all dimensions!" Reira adds as she looks at Yuya on the monitor.
"Reira?!" Amanda gasps.
"Even Yuya is trying his hardest to bring smiles to everyone!" Reira says. "I want you to watch this fight. Our fight to bring peace back to this world."
Yuni smiles as she pets her head. "Nice, Reira."
The Lancers set off to the town, stopping the riot as their main objective in mind with Crow, Shinji, Aki, Rua, Ruka, Kiryu, Frank, Amanda, and Tokumatsu watching them leave.
"It seems like those guys might be this City's saviors." Tokumatsu comments, cupping his chin in amusement.
"Saviors?" The children asks.
Rua says, "I agree. They really help a lot with the city..."
Ruka nods and smiles, "Let's watch and see what lies in store for our City and this world's future!"
Yuya thinks, "Pendulum as a way to surpass myself...? That's right! I was the first person to perform a Pendulum Summon! Pendulum isn't something I borrowed from anyone else! Those are my own words!"
Then he sees a new monster in his Extra Deck and says, "I see it now, Jack! My own words!"
"Then shout those words out loud!" Jack says. "What your own Dueling is!"
"My turn!" After drawing a card, he says, "With the already set Scale 1 Gumgumouton and Scale 3 Anthesis Magician in my hand, I can summon Level 2 monsters! Pendulum Summon Come forth! Entermate Cheer Mole!" (ATK:600/DEF:1000 LV:2 PS:5)
As the cheering monster appears, he says, "Wait, I'll call you now. I Tune Level 2 Entermate Cheer Mole with Level 8 Enlightenment Paladin!"
"What?! Enlightenment Paladin is not a Tuner Monster!" Jack exclaims in surprise.
"But there is a monster that can be Synchro Summoned by releasing Pendulum Summoned Pendulum Monster and a Synchro Monster!" Yuya says as he shows the card.
"What?!" Jack gasps.
"From the peaceful depths of time, release the light throughout the wide world! Revive! Synchro Summon! Level 10! Super Magical Swordsman of Nirvana! Nirvana High Paladin (ATK:3300/DEF:2500 LV:10 PS:8)!"
A giant light glows, and then a monster appears in front of everyone as Jack watches in awe.
This is the first part of Jack and Yuya's duel, I decide to split it into 2 parts, the next chapter will be the conclusion. I hope you like this chapter.
