Now it's time for Zuzu vs Julia here at the tournament! ENJOY!


You Show took their seats at the audience section for Zuzu, and Julia's duel to begin. Dan knows it will be tough, and since he doesn't know what deck Julia can do it couldn't be better. As he thinks of that Zuzu, and Julia stepped in ready for battle.

Julia grinned at her opponent, "Hello, Zuzu. You planning on losing to me again?"

A bit irritated Zuzu yelled, "Don't count on it, Julia! I've been training hard ever since you beat me, and now I'm ready to even the score! I'm not the same duelist as last time! Be careful! If you underestimate me, you'll be sorry!"

"All right. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself, even though I doubt anything has changed." Julia smirked.

Nico announced on the big screen, "Our next bout features two dueling damsels as You Show's very own bold and brassy Zuzu Boyle takes on her rival Julia Krystal, representing the Leo Institute! These tenacious teens are determined to seize the moment, but there can only be one winner!"

Dan smiled as his friends cheered for Zuzu, and this is also a new thing to what he sees what Zuzu's deck is about. He only seen her duel one time, and that's against Yuya when he tried to show his new Pendulum Cards, and use them but wasn't able too, and lost. Now that he can have a close seat to see what her deck can do he's curious.

"Now the Action Field for this afternoon's slugfest will be randomly selected by the stadium ARC System! And the lucky card is... Oh boy!" Nico announced seeing the field, "Let's hope these girls don't have vertigo, folks, 'cause this contest is about to take them high in the sky!"

"Action Field: Infinite Bridges activated." the computer announced as the field appeared as a huge set of bridges looking like a maze.


Infinite Bridge

Action Field Card

You can use Action Cards, but you can only have 1 Action Card in your hand.


"Whoa..." Dan said amazed, "If any of them make a wrong move, and fall it would be bad."

"I don't know who designed this crazy construction, but you can be sure nobody checked the safety code before they started building!" Nico announced to them, "You'll need some fearless footwork to keep from falling off the walkways and straight out of this contest! We've got plenty of altitude, girls. Now show me some intense attitude!"

"You won our last duel, Julia, but this time you're going down!"

"Not so fast, Zuzu. You're the one taking a dive!"

"There's only one way for us to settle this!"

"By clobbering it out on the court with our duel decks!" the two called, "Ready!"

"DUEL!" The Action Cards scattered.


(Dueling Theme: Running Away by Varna)

Zuzu: 4000

Julia: 4000

Let the duel begin!


Julia 1st Turn:

"I'm up first, and I'll start my onslaught by activating the spell Gem-Knight Fusion!" Julia declared.


Gem-Knight Fusion

Fusion Summon 1 "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or your side of the field as Fusion Materials. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can banish 1 "Gem-Knight" monster from your Graveyard; add this card to your hand.


"It lets me fuse two Gem-Knight monsters in my hand together!" Julia called to her.

'Gem-Knight... Another archetype I'm not familiar with...' Dan thought in his mind.

"Feast your eyes on this! I fuse Gem-Knight Sapphire, Crystal, and my Garnet!" Julia called as the three monsters fused together

"Gem with facets of day and night! Brilliant emerald of good fortune! Become one with the blue stone and create a new light! Fusion Summon! Supreme radiance who illuminates everything! Level 9! Gem-Knight Master Diamond!"

A huge knight with crystals on it's armor, and sword appeared.

3 "Gem-Knight" monsters

Once per turn: You can banish 1 Level 7 or lower "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster from your Graveyard; until the End Phase, this card's name becomes that monster's, and replace this effect with that monster's original effects.


"That sure is a powerful fusion." Dan said amazed by it.

"Yeah. It gains 100 attack points for every Gem in Julia's graveyard, and it can clone the effects, and name of a Gem-Knight Fusion Monster in her graveyard." Yuya told him what he knows.

"Bringing out your heavy hitter right away, huh?" Zuzu asked her.

Julia smirked, "It's a cut above the rest, so why wouldn't I? Master Diamond gains 100 attack points for every gem monster in my graveyard."

"She's taking advantage of the three knights she just fused." Yuya told them.

Gong grunted, "Gong sure hates to say it, but that diamond's shinin'."

"In a bad way at that." Dan told him, "Since she has three Gems it gains 300 points."

Gem-Knight Master Diamond: (ATK: 2900 + (100 * 3) = 3200)

"Since my diamond's all polished now, I'll let you take over." Julia said setting a card. "I've been hoping you'll show a little improvement since our last duel. You'll probably disappoint me, but try to keep this close."

Zuzu 1st Turn:

"I'll do better then that." Zuzu drew, and cried "I'll start off with a Spell. Check it out. Does it look familiar?"

The spell she's playing is Polymerization.


Polymerization

Normal Spell Card

Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material.


"Polymerization!?" Julia asked in shock.

"Wait, Zuzu can Fusion Summon?" Dan questioned in disbelief having not expecting.

"She asked me to teach her." Sora explained.

"That's right. I'm going to beat you at your own game! I fuse Aria the Melodious Diva with Sonata!" The two fly up fusing.

"Echoing melodious voice! Flowing melody! With guidance of the baton, gather your power! Fusion Summon! Now come here to the stage! Schuberta the Melodious Maestra!"

A orange, and red fairy appeared on the field.

DEF: 2000

2 "Melodious" monsters
During either player's turn: You can target up to 3 cards in any Graveyard(s); banish them, and if you do, this card gains 200 ATK for each. This effect can only be used once while this card is face-up on the field.


"That was music to my ears!" Allie said in awe.

Dan looked on as he smiled, "Well can't say I didn't expect that."

"I'm activating Schuberta's special ability! I can banish up to three cards in any graveyard!" Zuzu cried shocking Julia, "And that means your gem collection is about to get a lot smaller! Your gonna lose Sapphire, Garnet, and your precious spell Gem-Knight Fusion will be vaporized too! And while we're at it she'll gain 200 points for every card she banished! Chorus Break!"

The three cards appeared before vanishing.

Gem-Knight Master Diamond: (ATK: 3200 - (100 * 2) = 3000)

Schuberta the Melodious Maestra: (ATK: 2400 + (200 * 3) = 3000)

"Nice, that was a great move." Yuya grinned.

"It's better than that Yuya, Julia can just bring Gem-Knight Fusion back by banishing one of her monsters, but this way she can't." Sora pointed out.

"Hold your ears, 'cause Schuberta is about to unleash her latest composition, and it's going to rock your world!" Zuzu cried as Schuberta attacks Julia's Master Diamond as he grabbed an Action Card, "And Sunshine Smile will add it! Sonic Surrender!"


Sunshine Smile

Action Spell Card

Target 1 monster on the field; it gains 400 ATK during the Battle Phase only.


Schuberta the Melodious Maestra: (ATK: 3000 + 400 = 3400)

Master Diamond was destroyed by Schuberta.

(Julia: 3600)

"Now that I demolished your Diamond, I place two cards face-down, and end my turn!" Zuzu ended her turn.

Kit grunted, "Go figure! That You Show flunkie isn't half bad."

"She might be a diamond in the rough." Dippeer told him.

Schuberta the Melodious Maestra: (ATK: 3400 - 400 = 3000)


Zuzu: 4000

Julia: 3600


Julia 2nd Turn:

"That was a one hit wonder! I draw!" Julia mentioned drawing her card as she then smirked, "Oh, it's so adorable that you think you can go fusion to fusion with me, but it's painfully clear you'll never be on my level, Zuzu!"

"That's right, Julia! I just made sure you can't Fusion Summon anymore, so I'm not on your level, I'm at the top looking down!" Zuzu agreed pointing at Julia.

Julia smirked, "Oh, you're so naive. Now, watch a master in action! I activate Brilliant Fusion!"


Brilliant Fusion

Continuous Spell Card

When this card is activated: Fusion Summon 1 "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your Deck as Fusion Material, but change its ATK/DEF to 0. If this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. Once per turn: You can discard 1 Spell; the monster Special Summoned by this card's effect gains ATK/DEF equal to its original ATK/DEF, until the end of your opponent's turn. You can only activate 1 "Brilliant Fusion" per turn.


"With this spell, I can fuse monsters that are in my deck in order to Fusion Summon a new Gem-Knight!" Julia cried shocking everyone.

"A card like Red-Eyes Fusion?" Zuzu asked shocked.

Julia smirked, "I take three Gem-Knights... Alexandrite, Emerald, and Obsidian and fuse my trio together!"

"No way!" Yuya cried shocked, "Julia still found a way to Fusion Summon! It's unreal how nothing fazes her."

"Yeah! I wonder what other tricks she's got up her deck?" Sora grinned.

The three appeared fusing.

"Gem with facets of day and night! Brilliant emerald of good fortune! Sharp jet-black darkness! In a whirlpool of light, combine to bring forth a new dazzling radiance! Fusion Summon! This is my true ace! Dazzling lady, Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond!" Julia chanted as her new monster appeared looking like a swordswoman with diamond's on her, and a cape.


Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond

Earth Type

Level 10

Rock/Fusion

ATK: 3400

DEF: 2000

3 "Gem-Knight" monsters
Must first be Fusion Summoned with the above Fusion Materials. You can only Special Summon "Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond(s)" once per turn. Once per turn: You can send 1 "Gem-Knight" monster you control to the Graveyard, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions.


"Awesome! Now it's time for Julia to shine!" Kit grinned.

"Unfortunately, when I used Brilliant Fusion to bring out a monster, my Fusion Monster's attack and defense points drop to zero." Julia told the downside of her spell.

Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond: (ATK: 3400 - 3400 = 0/DEF: 2000 - 2000 = 0)

"But if I send a spell card to the graveyard, it's attack points return to normal until the end of your turn, so I'd better find me one!" Julia cried before running.

Zuzu knowing what she's up too ran after her. Dan grunted, "If Zuzu wants to win she needs to stop her from ditching an Action Card!"

"That Action Card's mine Julia!" Zuzu cried, "And to make sure I'm activating the trap, Ceasefire!"


Ceasefire

Normal Trap Card

If a face-down Defense Position monster or an Effect Monster is on the field: Change all face-down Defense Position monsters on the field to face-up Defense Position (Flip monsters' effects are not activated at this time), also inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each Effect Monster on the field.


"This card gives you a jolt of 500 points of damage for every monster on the field!" Zuzu explained. "And by the time you recover I'll have that Action Card!"

The trap launched a blast that struck Julia. (Julia: 2600)

But she grabbed a pole, and spin that grabbed the card.

"What a gymtastic move! This LID kid just put Action in Action Card!" Nico cried amazed by her skills as Zuzu ran to find another Action Card, "No wonder she's near the top of her class!"

"This Action Card's a spell, and I send it to the graveyard so that my Brilliant Diamond gets all her points back!" Julia revealed discarding the card

Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond: (ATK: 0 + 3400 = 3400/DEF: 0 + 2000 = 2000)

"Time to shine! Unsheathe your sword and silence Zuzu's Maestra!"

The monster charged as Zuzu's fusion was destroyed pushing her back as she grabbed a railing on stairs. (Zuzu: 3600)

"Whoa, talk about a close call!" Nico announced, "Zuzu was one grab away from taking the downtown express to Vanquished-Ville!"

Dipper smirked, "Julia had me worried for a minute, but it looks like she's right back in the swing o' things."

Zuzu climbed back as she turned to Julia who smirked, "You said you've been training hard since our last duel, but from what I can tell, I'd say you need a lot more practice! But feel free to try and change my mind!"

"Oh no, Zuzu." Stacy said fearfully.

Zuzu 2nd Turn:

"Oh, I will!" Zuzu drew, and looked over her hand. 'If Julia keeps picking up Action Cards, I'll b playing from behind for the rest of the duel. I have to think of a way to stop her!'

"I'm placing a monster face-down in defense mode!" Zuzu cried.

Julia smirked, "Really? You'll never beat me by playing it safe."

Zuzu thought looking at the last card in her hand, 'You know what, Julia? I'm not playing it safe. I think I know what you're gonna do, but if I'm wrong it's over for me.'

"I'm playing another face-down and ending my turn." Zuzu ended.

"During your End Phase Brilliant Diamond loses her points again." Julia explained.

Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond: (ATK: 3400 - 3400 = 0/DEF: 2000 - 2000 = 0)

When the kids started to worry Sora assured, "Don't fret guys! Sure, Julia's got some skills, but Zuzu's got one enormous advantage over her. She learned to Fusion Summon from the best-me!"

"Bragging doesn't do much you know." Dan stated with a sweatdrop.

"Oh I'm not bragging. Just stating a fact." Sora told him.


Zuzu: 3600

Julia: 2600


Julia 3rd Turn:

"it's my turn again!" Julia drew, and started running as Zuzu trailed after her.

Zuzu called, "You need another Action Card, but I'll get to it first!"

"Dream on, because I'm summoning Crystal Rose!" Julia called as a crystalin rose appeared.


Crystal Rose

Light Type

Level 2

Rock

ATK: 500

DEF: 500

Once per turn: You can send 1 "Gem-Knight" or "Melodious" monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard, and if you do, this card's name becomes the sent monster's name, until the End Phase. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can banish 1 Fusion Monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon this card in Defense Position. You can only use this effect of "Crystal Rose" once per turn.


"And this flower can take the place of a Gem-Knight, or Melodious monster when I Fusion Summon by sending that card to the graveyard! So I'll send Gem-Knight Tourmaline from my Deck to the graveyard to treat Crystal Rose as it!" Julia called as the rose glowed.

"A Melodious support card?" Zuzu grunted hearing that.

"Brilliant Diamond, now's the time to use your Special Ability! By sending 1 Gem-Knight on my field to the graveyard, I can then summon a Gem-Knight Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck ignoring the needs to Fusion Summon!" Julia revealed.

Zuzu cried shocked, "What!?"

"Yes. I'm outplaying you on every level!" Julia cried, "Now I use Crystal Rose to summon one of my treasured monsters! If you want to beat me to that Action Card, you'll have to slip past Gem-Knight Zirconia!"

As she said that a gray armored knight with diamonds as hands appeared in place.


Gem-Knight Zirconia

Earth Type

Level 8

Rock/Fusion

ATK: 2900

DEF: 2500

1 "Gem-Knight" monster + 1 Rock-Type monster


Gem-Knight Zirconia appeared in front of Zuzu as Julia grabbed the card.

"Ah, perfect!" Tate groaned, "Not again!"

"Julia's two for two!" Allie cried worried.

"As you can see, I picked up another Action Spell, which I will now send straight to the graveyard to pump up my Diamond's attack points!" Julia declared sending the spell to her graveyard.

Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond: (ATK: 0 + 3400 = 3400/DEF: 0 + 2000 = 2000)

"It feels like we've been to this movie before, and I definitely did not like how it ended the last time I saw it!" Yuya grunted.

"Zirconia take to the skies and take out Zuzu's face-down monster!"

While Zuzu is running for an Action Card the Fusion Monster charged destroying Zuzu's face-down.

"So, how will you survive with no monsters left to protect you?" Julia asked her, "The answer is that you won't, because my Lady Diamond is now going to attack you directly!"

The monster attacked.

"I activate a trap! Monster Rebone!" Zuzu cried.


Monster Rebone

Normal Trap Card

If your opponent Special Summoned a monster this turn: Activate this card by targeting 1 monster in your opponent's Graveyard; Special Summon it to your side of the field in Defense Position. When this card leaves the field, banish that monster. When that monster leaves the field, destroy this card.


"This trap lets me summon a monster from your graveyard in defense mode only if you Special Summon this turn!" Zuzu cried.

"From my graveyard!?" Julia cried shocked as she then realized, 'That was the same trap that kid used against Declan!'

Zuzu called, "And the card, I want is Crystal Rose!"

The rose appeared.

Julia grunted grabbing an Action Card, "Don't think it will help since it's in defense mode I activate the Action Spell, Defense Break!"


Defense Break

Action Spell Card

Target 1 monster on your field: This turn when it attacks an opponent's Defense Position monster, it can inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent, but it cannot be destroyed by battle this turn.


"So now at the cost of not be able to destroy Crystal Rose my Diamond can deal damage even if your monster is in defense mode!" Julia called as her Fusion Monster attacked Crystal Rose.

(Zuzu: 0700)

Zuzu was pushed back by the force hard.

"You caught a lucky break. You couldn't have used Monster Rebone to save yourself if I didn't Special Summon." Julia said to her, "You're so lucky that I did."

"No Julia, luck had nothing to do with it!" Zuzu declared.

Julia raised an eyebrow at that, "Hmm?"

"In fact, I outthought and outplayed you!" Zuzu told her, "I played Monster Rebone to protect myself because I knew you'd try to end this duel with a Fusion Monster! You're so predictable. You played right into my hands and right out of this championship!"

Julia said seriously, "Don't flatter yourself. You make one lucky move and think your skills make you shine like a diamond? Your knowledge about Fusion Summoning is as worthless as that pathetic Duel School of yours that hasn't entertained anyone in ages."

Zuzu 3rd Turn:

"I'll prove you wrong, starting here and now!" Zuzu drew, and remembered some words that Yuya, and Yuto gave her, 'All the prep work I did to help my friends will be for nothing unless I make this draw count!' "I DRAW!"

She looked, and called, "You might be thinking you have the upper hand, Julia, but this card's gonna have you singing a new in tune in no time! Soprano the Melodious Songstress, take the stage!"

A new fairy appeared.


Soprano the Melodious Songstress

Light Type

Level 4

Fairy

ATK: 1400

DEF: 1400

When this card is Special Summoned: You can target 1 "Melodious" monster in your Graveyard, except "Soprano the Melodious Songstress"; add it to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Soprano the Melodious Songstress" once per turn. Once per turn: You can Fusion Summon 1 "Melodious" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters you control as Fusion Materials, including this card.


Sora grinned as Zuzu called, "In a performance you'll never forget, my Melodious Songstress's Special Ability lets me Fusion Summon a Melodious without using Polymerization!"

"So that's why you took my Crystal Rose!" Julia cried now realizing.

"Exactly because I can send Mozarta, the Melodious Maestra from my deck to the graveyard, and treat Crystal Rose as her for this turn!" Zuzu called as the rose glowed.

A couple of girls in the audience are liking this twist.

"Soprano the Melodious Songstress, this is your moment! Activate your Special Ability, and fuse with Crystal Rose now treated as Mozarta, the Melodious Maestra!"

The two monsters fused together at that call.

"Angel's song! Supreme genius! With the guidance of the baton, gather your power! Fusion Summon! Now come here to the stage! Sing the song of victory! Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir!"

A new fairy with blue eyes, and a white dress, and a pink flower like bloom at her appeared letting out a melodic cry.


Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir

Light Type

Level 6

Fairy/Fusion

ATK: 1000

DEF: 2000

1 "Melodious Maestra" monster + 1 "Melodious" monster
Cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects, also you take no battle damage from attacks involving this card. If this card battles a Special Summoned monster, after damage calculation: You can inflict damage to your opponent equal to the difference between the original ATK of that opponent's monster and this card, and if you do, destroy that opponent's monster.


"Amazing! Zuzu's totally nailing this performance!" Yuya grinned.

Dan smiled, "And if their's one thing I learned about monsters with low attack points they come with very powerful abilities."

Dipper cried, "I thought Julia had this duel in the bag!"

"She did, but Zuzu just ripped a giant hole in it!" Kit cried just as shocked as his classmate.

"It's time to belt one out, Bloom Diva! Attack Gem-Knight Zirconia!" Zuzu cried.

Frederick called, "Wait! That fraulein doesn't have enough attack points to win!"

"Don't worry about it." Dan smiled to him, "You should never judge a monster for either it's attack points, or appearance. It's their abilities that truly matters on it. And if you Zuzu is attacking then Bloom Diva must have 1 wicked ability."

Zirconia attacked as Bloom Diva blocked the attack, "I forget to when that when Bloom Diva battles a monster that's Special Summoned, bot only is your monster destroyed instead of mine, but you take all the damage instead of me! Vaporizing Vocal!"

Julia watched in shock as Zirconia was unable to overcome the monster's song as it shattered.

(Julia: 0700)

"Amazing!" Allie cried with a smile.

"Whoa, that was cool times two!" Tate smiled.

Frederick cheered, "Ooh, yah!"

Dan looked at Bloom Diva, 'So Zuzu has a Yubel-like monster? That'll be tough to overcome.'

"That was a nifty move, Zuzu, but it's also going to cost you big-time!" Julia smirked before declaring, "By destroying my Knight you walked into a trap!"


Brilliant Spark

Normal Trap Card

If a face-up "Gem-Knight" monster(s) you control is destroyed by your opponent's attack or card effect: Target 1 of those destroyed monsters; inflict damage to your opponent equal to its original ATK. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can send 1 "Gem-Knight" card from your handto the Graveyard; add this card to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Brilliant Spark" per turn.


"Thanks to Brilliant Spark, you take damage equal to the attack points of the Gem-Knight you just destroyed!" Julia called as a transparent version of Zirconia appeared ready to finish this duel.

Gong cried, "That'll inflict enough damage t' wipe out all o' Zuzu's life points!"

"Oh, no! Zuzu, do something!" Yuya cried worried.

"I'll spring my own Trap... Melodious Illusion!" Zuzu cried.


Melodious Illusion

Normal Trap Card

Target 1 "Melodious" monster you control; this turn, that face-up monster you control is unaffected by your opponent's Spell/Trap effects, and it can make a second attack during each Battle Phase.


"I can make a Melodious on my field unaffected to your effects, and in exchange it can attack twice!" Zuzu cried.

Julia reminded, "That won't defend you against Brilliant Spark!"

"Maybe not, but this will!" Zuzu cried running to an Action Card

Julia meanwhile had run to a pole and was sliding down to a lower bridge to race Zuzu to it.

As she said that Julia ran reaching for the Action Spell.

"Oh no, Zuzu!" Yuya cried out.

Before Julia can reach it the card was taken by Zuzu, "What?"

"Whoa! I've heard of duelists taking a dive, but this takes the cake!" Nico as Zuzu was caught by Bloom Diva and gently placed on another bridge, "Zuzu and her monster have snatched her chance to survive!"

"That was nothing! We practice moves like that all the time at You Show!" Zuzu smiled before playing the Action Spell, "Acceleration bypasses the damage Brilliant Spark tries to inflict!"


Acceleration

Action Spell Card

When a card or effect is activated that would inflict damage to you: Make that effect damage to you 0.


"Are you nuts!? If your Diva was a second late, you would've been done for!" Julia yelled at her shocked to see she made such a dangerous stunt.

"I knew my monster would never let me down." Zuzu told her with a smile, "And now, she's gonna pick me up. Bloom Diva, I sense another song coming on! Are you ready, Diva? Then blast Brilliant Diamond! Wrecking Refrain!"

Bloom Diva struck Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond destroying her but also sending Julia off the Bridge as she started to fall.


Zuzu: 0700

Julia: 0000

Zuzu wins the duel!


"Julia!" Zuzu cried in horror.

Julia screamed falling down before Bloom Diva swoop in, and caught her.

"Bloom Diva?" Julia asked surprised seeing that, "Why'd did you catch me?"

"I'm glad you're okay!" Zuzu smiled.

Julia asked surprised, "You saved me?"

"Yeah." Zuzu smiled, and nodded to her which made Julia looked away with an irritated blush.

Both Dipper, and Kit both sighed in relief seeing Julia is okay. Sure she may have lost the duel, but their were more concerned about Julia's safety. It was when they realized that Julia is one of their best friends, and know now that winning is never the answer.

"Folks, that duel was tighter than the kid on a pickle jar! But in the end, Zuzu Boyle of the You Show School won by an Action Card!" Nico announced.

Dan smiled as his friends cheered for Zuzu's victory. It was a close match, and in the end he knew that Zuzu would win. Almost as if he knew that would happen. Yet he feels something a bit bad.


Sometime later...

At a setting sun You Show was walking out of the arena for a little rest.

"Zuzu, I vas wunderstruck when you Fusion Summoned with Julia's card!" Frederick smiled to her.

"Of course, she learned that move from me, so I'm the one who should be congratulated." Sora smiled with his eyes closed, and his hands behind his head.

"Zuzu!"

They turned over to see three people. They were Kit, Dipper, and Julia with her being the one who called to her.

"Hey, Julia." Zuzu greeted.

"I hope you realize there are going to be serious consequences for what you did today!" Julia declared pointing a finger at her as she walked over to them as Zuzu felt un-ease, "Since you defeated me... you are required to keep your winning streak going! If you lose, it makes me look bad!"

Dan sweatdropped on that. He expected that Julia would try something bad, and evil but guess he thought wrong.

"Here, Zuzu. Take this." Julia said handing her a card as she took it before gasping.

"Crystal Rose?" Zuzu asked surprised, "You're giving this to me? But why?"

Julia grinned, "You'll be facing some tough opponents, so you'll need all the help you can get. Always keep that card in your deck. I'll be watching your duels."

"I..." Zuzu trailed off not sure how to react.

"If you lose, I'll come looking for you!" Julia promised to her.

Zuzu was silent for a few seconds before smiling, "Okay, thanks. I won't let you down. That's a promise."

"And I couldn't help, but notice that your new friend is giving out cards." Dipper told them.

Dan hearing that admitted, "Well... I am only making sure they get the cards they need for their duels."

"Well my views are the same as Julia little guy." Kit told him walking over, "Like Zuzu you need to keep your streak going, and you'll make me look bad if you lose. So don't lose you hear me?"

"Loud, and clear." Dan's instant reply was heard.

"Well good luck against Iggy Arlo." Dipper told him, "He's a violent one, and we managed to barely win against him."

"Wait isn't Dan's duel suppose to come on? It's sunset right now." Yoko realized.

Hearing that everyone turned seeing the sunset.

"O-Oh yeah!" Dan cried seeing that, "I hope I'm ready."

"With those skills Dan I don't doubt it." Yuya grinned, "Come on guys, time to head back to the arena, and see Dan's match against Iggy!"

Everyone cheered ready.


Alright next duel is Dan vs Bandit Academy's best student Iggy Arlo. Can Dan handle a wildhouse like himself, or will he get beaten badly by him? Let's see next chapter. oh, and for what custom Action Field do you want them to fight at?

1. Roman Colosseum.

2. Honnoji's Courtyard.

Or 3. Samurai Temple Courtyard.

Be sure to review!
