Alright readers. After that loss from Yugo, Dan is now in a deep sleep which is where Ray is gonna train him to be ready for whatever lies ahead. Which means his decks will have changes, and new cards, and some of his cards will now be focused on Pendulum. And now he will duel against Gong Strong this chapter, and it also debuts something from ARC-V's manga. What is it? Find out here!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, but I own Dan! ENJOY!
In Dan's mind...
After Ray introduced herself to Dan he was practicing with her so whatever lies ahead he'll be ready. She said she's a friend of his, and from her glowing he couldn't see anything else about her other-side she has long hair. She explained she wants him to help her in restoring the world, and he promises that's what he'll do. And after agreeing Ray offered her to train him. During the time Ray had talked to him about something.
"Dan? Can I look at your Decks?"
"Huh... Oh sure."
Dan handed her his four Decks, as she looked over them. Their are well-balanced, and seem to lack Pendulum. Ray seeing this frowned as she asked, "How come you only use 1 Summoning in each Deck beside Red-Eyes since your using three."
"Well... I wanted to make sure, I stick by their real function." Dan admitted, "And I can't imagine what to do next after them."
"Have you given thought of adding more Summoning Methods to your decks?" Ray asked him, "Using just 1 method, or only focusing on 1 in a Deck will be a bad thing."
"I... Well you see I..." Dan began but couldn't form words as he paused.
He never actually given thought on using more then one method for a Deck of his. He now understands that with his Decks where their at now they wouldn't evolve for the better, and be stuck unless he does something.
"I didn't think as much." Ray said seeing his expression, "But I got a solution for it."
Ray closed her eyes as the four Decks glow as he looked on surprised. Ray soon opened her eyes, and smiled as she handed his Red-Eyes Deck to him as he looked at one of the cards to see a Pendulum Monster known as Ghost Beef. Dan asked her, "How did you do that?"
"Don't ask. But that's not all. I can also give you new cards, and new Extra Deck monsters for you to duel." Ray told him which he smiled nodding agreeing to change his Decks for more summoning methods.
Soon after it Ray smiled saying, "Okay your set. I'll give you more cards soon. But for now your ready."
Dan smiled nodding before he was transported out

Dan started to slowly open his eyes after his duel against Yugo. He sees Yuya was there along with Zuzu then Yuto, Shay, and also Riley.
"Dan? Dan!" Zuzu cried seeing he's awake which make the guests turn over hearing that.
"Dan!" Yuya cried as they head over where Dan slowly sat up rubbing his head.
Yuto asked him, "Are you alright?"
"Argh... Just a headache." Dan answered continuing to rub his head.
"You were really exhausted." Yuya told him, "You been out cold for 2 days."
"2 days? I was asleep for THAT long?" Dan asked in shock.
"Yeah. It's understandable since you had both that duel against Iggy, and then that match against Yugo." Yuto answered.
Dan nodded before noticing Riley, "Huh? Why's Riley here?"
"He's worried about you." Yuya told him, "But what's weird is that Shay's here also."
Shay told him, "I told you Yuya, he's a comrade now like Yuto."
Dan noticing someone's missing asked, "Where's Yugo?"
"When Zuzu came to the park he vanished somehow." Yuto answered.
Dan nodded hearing that knowing that they'll see Yugo again. He then asked, "What about the Championship?"
"It's final match for the first round is gonna be here in an hour. We were worried you would be late." Yuya answered, "And Frederick lost his next round to Riley."
Dan turned to her hearing that which made her look down. Dan smiled, "Great job."
Riley blushed, "Thanks."
Dan noticing asked, "Guys can you give me, and Riley a few minutes?"
They nodded before walking off leaving the two alone. Riley blushed when she sees their alone before Dan pulled her hood down which she squeaked, "Eep! What are you doing?"
Dan smiled seeing her with her hood, "You look more great with that hood down. I don't know why you are pretending to be a boy."
Riley blushed at that, "Uh... It's a long story."
Dan nodded on it. "Well good job on the match against Frederick. Did he used the cards I gave him?"
"Dyna Tank, and Dyna Base?" Riley asked which he nodded, "Yeah he did used them."
"Great." Dan smiled before pausing, "Hey uh... Why did you kiss me?"
Riley blushed heavily at that. It took Dan no less then five seconds to know his answer, "Wait... Do you... Like me? More as a friend?"
Riley's face felt like a frying pan but nodded shyly. Dan was quiet for a few seconds as he thinks, 'I don't know what to say... What can I do?'
'Do you like her?'
That made Dan jumped startled, 'Ray?'
'I told you before, I'm sticking with you didn't I?' Ray teased in his mind, 'But do you like her back? And I'm your head so I know you'll be lying.'
Dan blushed a little as he looked at Riley before telling her, 'Admittedly yeah...'
'I see. Well you should say something.'Ray told him.
Dan asked surprised, 'Your not being defensive about it? She's your sister.'
"Well yeah, but I want her to be happy.' Ray answered.
Riley meanwhile was blushing brighter is possible due to the silence. Dan looked at Riley before embracing her.
"Eep." Riley squeaked in embarrassment.
"Listen Riley... I don't know how good, I can be to you." Dan admitted before smiling, "But I'll make sure to be the best kind of loved one, I'll be."
Riley looked with surprised eyes before smiling kissing his cheek which made him froze before smiling back as Riley hugged him. Dan smiled before hugging her back.
"You two having a good time?"
Freezing the two averted their eyes to see the four teens have walked in with Yuya, and Yuto having grins, and Zuzu, and Shay with soft smiles.
"G-Guys!" Dan cried as they separated with Dan having an embarrassed blush on his cheeks with Riley looking down, and closing her eyes in embarrassment, "I-I didn't say you can c-come back in!"
"You told us to give you a few minutes didn't you?" Yuto grinned.
"W-Well yeah b-but..." Dan trailed off.
"Be careful you two, and make sure you love each other to the very end." Yuya teased which made Dan's blush go deeper, and Riley to close her eyes tight.
Zuzu chuckle before saying, "Okay Yuya we embarrassed them enough. We're suppose to get ready for the second round."
"Oh your right." Yuya remembered, "Come on you two lovebirds we better move."
"Didn't she say to stop?" Shay asked as the four walked out as Yuya's laughing followed.
Dan, and Riley were left alone in silence embarrassed. Dan could hear Ray chuckling in his head, but ignored it turning to Riley, "R-Riley... You better get back to your brother."
Riley nodded with a deep blush before kissing his cheek again, and ran out in embarrassment. Dan muttered, "My that was embarrassing."
'But funny.' Ray laughed.
Dan blushed whining, "It isn't when it's done to you."
'Okay, I'll stop.' Ray laughed, 'But we better get moving!'
Dan barely nodded grabbing his three changed Decks, and walked out to the Championship.
At the tournament...
Gong was a bit overjoyed when he sees Dan is awake, "Little D! Gong's so glad to see your alright!"
"We are two!" the three kids smiled to him.
Dan smiled, "Me too, and don't worry nothing can keep me down for long. And now we can focus on the tournament again. But this time we have two friends helping us out. I think you remember Shay here, and don't worry he's a cool dude now."
Gong glared at Shay while the three kids stared nervous with Skip not doing anything which Shay stared not saying anything. Dan took this to continue, "And this is Yuto. He's the guy that Zuzu seen back to where he attacked Sylvio. He thought he was an enemy of his."
"I think you didn't have to mention that." Yuto told him which the others looked surprised seeing his face, "I know, I looked like Yuya, but I don't know why as well. Me, and Shay will support you guys from here on out."
"Well... If Dan says you two are okay then your good in my book." Tate admitted.
Shay looked, "I seen your match. You Xyz Summoned didn't you?"
"Yeah. Dan gave me a strong Xyz, and it sure did help out." Tate smiled.
Allie agreed, "Yeah! He gave me a strong Tuner, and Synchro Monster as well!"
"And he given me a Fusion Monster that makes my opponent go kerplunk!" Frederick finished grinning.
Hearing the word Fusion, Yuto, and Shay narrowed their eyes as Dan told them, "Guys not all Fusion Users are bad guys. It's the same like Light, and Darkness. Everything is neutral it's how bad people uses them, that it's bad itself."
That made Yuto, and Shay pause as they looked at each other.
"We... haven't thought of that." Yuto admitted.
Dan nodded, "Well now you can. Come on we better see what our next matches are."
They nodded walking off to find their next matches.
"And now 32 duelists have advanced!" Nico cried, "And now let us see what the next matches are from the datastream!"
Ones for today are:

Dan's Duel Disk beeped as he looked, and looked surprised before smiling to his opponent. His opponent grinned, "Well then little D, don't hold back on Gong alright?"
"That's a deal." Dan grinned as they shake hands.
Yuya asked surprised, "Your against Gong?"
"Yeah." Dan smiled.
Yuya smiled, "Well good luck, and be sure to be careful. Gong's tough."
"But so am I." Dan smiled.
Gong grinned, "Well we're the first duel today."
"Alright. I'm ready if you are." Dan grinned as both opponents nodded.
"And now everyone! It is time for the second round of the Arc League Championship! And to kick the start is You Show's own Dan Kizami going up against the Strong Dojo's own Gong Strong!" Nico announced on it as he cried, "These two people are battle ready for the tournament, and fought like true warriors where Dan had took down Bandit Warrior's Iggy Arlo while Gong scored a victory against the Leo Institute's own Kit Blade! And now let us see which of these two warriors can reign first place at the second round! And the Action Field is..."

"Since Gong doesn't have any Spells or Traps in his graveyard, I can summon Big Waraji from Gong's hand!" Gong explained.
Hearing that Dan looked surprised, "No Spells or Traps in your graveyard for your cards to resolve? Is that really a wise decision?"
"If you use a Deck using Spells, and Traps maybe. But Gong only sticks to monsters, and no resolves to using them!" Gong called.
Dan thought, 'Normally using only a Monster Card Deck would be a bad thing... But Gong looks like he knows what he's doing.'
'Yeah that's right.'Ray told him in his head, 'But time to show the results of your training in this duel!'

Confused Dan looked at his Duel Disk to read Gong's new monster's abilities, and sees why he placed it in defense mode, "Attacks in Defense Mode with it's Defense Points as it's attack points? Not only that it's also a Pendulum problem."
"That will end Gong's turn here little feller." Gong ended his turn.

Declan told her, "I have a feeling that won't be the case soon mother."
Dan grinned, "Get ready Gong cause I'm coming at ya! Dragocytos attack Big Benkei!"
Dragocytos attacked Big Benkei.
"You don't got the skill yet!" Gong cried, "Gong sends Superheavy Samurai Soulfire Suit from his hand to the graveyard to defend Big Benkei but he loses 800 points!"
Dragocytos attacked but Big Benkei is still around. (DEF: 3500 - 800 = 2700)
Dan nodded, "Okay. Your lucky! Because if Dragocytos destroys a monster on your field he can make another attack. And by sending Red-Eyes back to my deck, I can add the Black Stone of Legend back to my hand. Your move now!"
Dan: 2400
Gong: 4000

"Since Gong has no Spells or Traps in his graveyard he can summon this card!" Gong called, "And now level 2 Trumpeter tunes level 8 Big Benkei!"
The two flew up.
(LV: 8 + 2 = 10)
"Raging deity, in unison with the roar of a thousand blades, come forth in a spiraling sandstorm! Synchro Summon! Now come before us, Level 10! Superheavy Samurai Warlord Susanowo!" Gong chanted as his monster appeared in defense mode.

"3800 wow." Dan said amazed.
Gong called, "And Gong uses it's ability to set Pot of Greed from your graveyard!"
"My graveyard?" Dan asked surprised as his spell appeared on Gong's field.
"And now Gong activates the face-down, Pot of Greed!" Gong called as the spell appeared, "This allows Gong to draw 2 cards!"
Gong drew twice.
"Then Gong summons Superheavy Samurai Blowtorch!" Gong called as a blowtorch appeared.

"And now Gong uses Fist's effect to summon itself, and lower Susanowo's level by 1!" Gong added as his first Tuner appeared.
Susanowo: (LV: 10 - 1 = 9)
Dan widen his eyes, "Wait Gong are you doing what I think your-"
"Your correct! Gong tunes level 2 Fist with level 1 Blowtorch, and Level 9 Suswano!" Gong called as the three monsters flew up.
"F-Folks this is an astonishing first match for the second round!" Nico cried as the three tuned.
(LV: 1 + 2 + 9 = 12)
"Steadfast oni gods, grasp tightly on my fist's resolve, now, become the fiend of iron and run across the battlefield! Synchro Summon! Now come before us! Appear! Level 12! Superheavy Samurai Steam Train King!"

"That's one loco locomotive!" Sylvio remarked seeing it from his spot with Dipper, Kit, and Julia.
Gong jumped on Steam King as it rode around as Dan struggled to keep on track.
"Awesome Gong! This really is a great Duel we're having!" Dan grinned, "And that monster is killing it!"
"Glad you think so cause Gong's equipping Steam Train King with Superheavy Samurai Soulshield Wall!" Gong called as a brown shield appeared for it.

"And thanks to this Steam Train King gains 1200 defense points!" Gong called as his Synchro glowed.
Steam Train King: (DEF: 4800 + 1200 = 6000)
"6000 points?" Dan asked shocked.
Gong called, "Now Steam Train King attack Dragocytos!"
His Synchro charged at Dan's as he ran, and grabbed an Action Spell, "I activate Evasion!"
Evasion
Action Spell Card
When a monster declares an attack: Target that monster; negate the attack.
Suddenly Gong's wood sandles hit a spot near him as Gong grabbed them, and a Action Card, "That won't help!"
"Gong's moving!?" You Show asked shocked seeing that.
Gong called, "Gong activates the Action Spell, No Action to stop Evasion!"
No Action
Action Spell Card
Negate the activation and the effect of a Action Spell Card, and if you do, destroy it.
Dan's Action Spell shattered as Dragocytos took the attack as it survived.
"Dragocytos can't be destroyed in battle!" Dan grunted. (Dan: 0400) "But are you sure you want to use that Action Spell? I mean, I know that with Train King it's too strong to beat, but with No Action in your graveyard your Deck won't work."
"Not for long!" Gong called, "Gong activates the effect of Steam Train King! By banishing all the Spells, and Traps in our graveyards you take 200 points of damage for each one!"
Dan looked shocked as 5 cards exited his graveyard, and 1 exited Gong's making 6 cards which would mean 1200 points of damage. Dan ran for an Action Card as Gong rode for one to stop Dan. Dan managed to grab one calling, "Action Spell, Acceleration!"
Acceleration
Action Spell Card
When a card or effect is activated that would inflict damage to you: Make that effect damage to you 0.
"So when an effect plays that inflicts damage that damage is zero!" Dan called as Gong grabbed an Action Card but didn't play it as the blast passed by harmlessly.
Gong nodded, "Okay. Gong ends his turn here."
Dan 4th Turn:
Dan chuckled, "Okay Gong here I come!"
With that he drew seeing Fire Inferno Blast as he smiled before declaring, "I activate Dragocytos' ability! So now during this Stand-By Phase, Steam Train King loses half his attack points, and you take damage equal to that damage!"
Steam Train King was in a red aura. (ATK: 2000 / 2 = 1000) (Gong: 3000)
"And now I summon Black Stone of Legend!" Dan smiled as the stone appeared, "And like last time his ability summons Red-Eyes from my deck!"
The stone vanished as Red-Eyes appeared roaring.
"And now I activate Monster Reborn!" Dan grinned playing the spell, "This revives Black Flare Dragon!"
Monster Reborn

Target 1 monster in either player's GY; Special Summon it.
The dragon appeared roaring.
"And before we move on, I activate Inferno Fire Blast!" Dan called with a grin as the card appeared.
Inferno Fire Blast

Target 1 "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" in your Monster Zone; inflict damage to your opponent equal to its original ATK. "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" cannot attack the turn you activate this card.
"This forbids Red-Eyes from attacking but in exchange your taking taking equal to his attack points!" Dan grinned as Red-Eyes fired a blast at Gong who stand unflinchingly. (Gong: 0600)
"Oh, and both duelists are on their last legs! What can Dan do now?" Nico asked.
Dan grinned, "What I can do? That's simple! I use my two Red-Eyes Dragons, and build the Overlay Network!"
The two dragons flew up as everyone was even more shocked.
"Darkness Falls before the Dragons, and from the flight of rebellion may they fight to bring peace! With a force of justice may the Dragons find peace! Xyz Summon! Rank 7! Dark Anthelion Dragon!"
At that a white, and purple dragon appeared roaring with 3000 points.

(ORU: 2)
Yuto widen his eyes even more, "That... That looks like Dark Rebellion!"
Everyone stared at the three Dragons really shocked, and not only that Dan has used all five of the summoning methods in this duel! How crazy is that?
"He used all five of the summoning methods in his duel." Declan said also in shock as he stared at Dark Anthelion Dragon, First of the Dragons, and Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon this formation reminding him of Genghis, Caesar, and Alexander in this sort of situation, "How did he get those kind of skills?"
"I-I-I am speechless as you are folks..." Nico trailed off flabbergasted.
Dan smiled. "Okay Gong. I did what I wanted. You clearly had me beat so go ahead, and finish it."
Gong blinked before nodding.
Dan: 0400
Gong: 0600
Gong 5th Turn:
Gong called, "Steam Train King!"
The monster charged.
"GG Gong." Dan smiled as Gong smiled back before Steam Train King attacked.
Dan: 0000
Gong: 0600
Gong wins the duel!
"A-And that's it folks... Gong Strong has won the match!" Nico called as the crowd cheered.
As the field vanished Dan smiled looking around as he noticed Declan was called away.
'Is he figuring out new tactics to beat me?' Dan thought as he stared.
An hour later...
Dan was sightseeing the Youth Division competition as he sees Riley was there, and walked to her, "Hey Riley."
Riley turned, and blushed, "Hi..."
"Sorry that got interrupted like that." Dan apologized.
Riley blushed, "I-It's okay... I understand."
Dan nodded as he held onto her hand making her flinch, "I mean it before Riley. I don't know how good, I can be to you, but I'll make sure to be the best kind of loved one, I'll be."
Riley looked down blushing too much as Dan smiled kissing her cheek as she widen her eyes looking at him as he smiled, "Do you like Ice Cream?"
Riley looked before nodding as Dan smiled as they both walked holding each other's hands.
Meanwhile...
Declan managed to defeat the eyepatched man named Barrett who have infiltrated with Celina.
Celina tried to walk off as Declan said, "Don't walk away so soon. There is much you need to know Celina."
Hearing that she turned to him.
And that's Dan's new skills there. I had changed it since I overdone it. Hope you all like this one, and the debut of Dan's new cards. Hope they are good choices. New chapter comes the final match of the Youth Division, and that's where Dan as a half Youth, and half Junior Youth is in to where he is against Riley. What could this lead too? Would Dan's Dragons claim the victory, or will Riley's Burning Abyss Skills managed to strike back? Be sure to review!
