Ascension of the Dragons Chapter 19: Danger Zones, & Obelisk Assault Part 1!, a yu-gi-oh! arc-v fanfic

Okay readers. Duel Academy's attack, and the Battle Royal is coming up! But they're also be an unexpected twist in this chapter that started when I talked to my co-writer for other stories, Ulrich362 about a future event. ENJOY!

The next day...

The crowd was cheering as Dan, Yoko, Tate, Frederick, Allie, and Skip were in the audience seats seeing their friends in the tournament arena. Dan might be eliminated but Zuzu, Yuya, and Tate are still in to honor You Show.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the third round of the ARC-V Championship! Here are your 16 remaining Duelists!" Nico cried as the crowd cheered.

Allie told them, "Doesn't he mean 15? Where's Shay?"

"And where's Yuto?" Yoko asked them.

Skip told them, "Now that you mention it... They are with someone for a moment. They'll be back soon."

"Now let's get started! But now how you all might think because these competitors won't be dueling here at the stadium, they'll be dueling throughout the whole city." Nico announced to them.

"Huh? So how will that work?" You Show asked surprised hearing that.

"I hope you're ready, ladies and gentlemen. Because the moment the clock strikes 12, the action will begin and our duelist will all need to begin searching." Nico told them, "Searching for what, you ask? Pendulum Cards hidden all throughout the city, brand-new ones created by the Leo Corporation for this tournament."

"Huh?" Dan asked surprised hearing that.

Nico then continued, "In order to begin a duel, our 16 competitors will each need to find at least two of these cards. Furthermore over the nest 24 hours, all of the matches will be upping the ante with Pendulum Cards as the ante. After deciding how many Pendulum Cards to wager, you and your opponent will duel. Whoever wins gets the Pendulum Cards that were put on the line. But you won't be having to wait in line to duel. Because the Action Field, Quartet of Quandary will be in effect. Separating the city into four, count them, four different zones for your Dueling Pleasure."

"This is sounding really good." Tate smiled.

"Totally!" Frederick, and Allie cheered.

"Happy Dance!" Frederick cheered dancing.

Nico then called, "All right, less than five minutes till we begin. Duelists, start your Duel Disks."

At that the 15 Duelists activated their Duel Disks as the crowd cheered.

"Now, get set..." Nico started as a part of the Stadium Rose up showing an exit, "The time for talking is over. Now is the time for traps, spells, monsters, and much, much, more! So get ready for anything because in a throw down like this, anything can happen. Now, on your mark, get set, go!"

"LET'S DUEL!" all the competitors called as the clock struck twelve making a horn blare as they ran out.

Dan raise up, and said, "Okay I'm outta here. I'm off to see their prowess up close okay?"

"Uh... Okay." Yoko said as Dan walked off.

Dan thought, 'Okay that's that. Alright while I'm around the city the Fusion Dimension should attack sometime. And now I gotta make sure, I handle them... I hope.'

(Cue Theme: Can You Feel The Power)

Hey! Hey!
Can you Feel the Power!?
You vs. me competition for the victory, (Wull!)
I could be the best one day and make history. (Go!)
Swing into action, are you ready to play? (Go!)
Challenge anyone, anywhere (Go!), any day. (Come On!)

You wanna take a chance? Go ahead and roll the dice. (Ok!)
See if it's in your cards, if you'll pay the price. (Wull!)
Activate the Spell, let your powers come to life. (Go!)
It's showtime, who will win the fight? (Wow!)

I'm ready to duel, go ahead and make your move.
(Go! Go! Go! Go!)

I'll win this duel,
You can't beat my moves.
I'm in that groove,
I know I can't lose.
Your turn, your tricks,
Now what will you choose?
Can you feel the power!?

Dan was alone walking around the city as he heard Nico calling out, "The hunt is on! If our challengers want to duel, they must find two Pendulum Cards. Then they must decide how many cards to put on the line. Winners win the cards and our top spot will be determined by the number of Pendulum Cards each of our 16 players has after 24 hours."

'And that's an entire day...' Dan thought to himself as he sees a Pendulum Card, and walked seeing it's called Pendulumstatue Yellow Scarab. Deciding to put it back he placed it down, and continued walking.

"It's time to set the stage for our star performers. Go... Quartet of Quandary!" Nico called as Dan find himself at a Forest like location, "The fans are ready. The fields are set. The challengers have until noon tomorrow to grab the glory. And now, it's time to go!"

"Alright. This forest is rather sitting actually." Dan admitted looking around, "But I better not linger for too long, or someone will mistake me as a challenger."

With that he walked off.

'This is interesting but it is a shame that your out so you would duel more.' Ray told him.

Dan replied, 'Gong beat me fair, and square. Plus if we encounter any Fusion Warriors, we can stop them from going further...'

'Are you really sure about that?' Ray asked him, 'They might be in a different league compared to us.'

'We can't sit back, and let them do what they want.' Dan told her, 'Someone needs to do something.'

That was before he noticed someone who has red hair, and closed eyes, with a blue vest as he knelled over, and picked up a Pendulum Card, "Nice, I found a Pendulum Card. Agh!"

Dan noticed that the card is connected to a cord being pulled as they see a man with a fishing rod in then trees, "Nice, I caught me a big one!"

"That's not funny!" the red haired boy frowned.

Dan walked over, "Not funny at all."

They turned to him as the man jumped down.

"What was that about? This isn't a fishing contest." Dan told the man.

The man replied, "Now, now don't let your fins get flustered I just fish for sport. But something's fishy about this guy. He looks like that Cooking Show Duelist."

"That's because I am him, TV's Reed Pepper." the red haired boy smiled to him.

Dan blinked, "Reed Pepper? Never heard of you?"

"Never heard of me?" Reed asked him surprised before pausing, "Hey wait your Dan Kizami right?"

"Yeah that's me." Dan nodded.

The man asked, "What are you doing here? Your not in the Championship anymore."

"Yeah, I'm not but I'm sure people want to see the challengers skills up close, and in person right?" Dan asked them which made them looked at each other.

Reed admitted, "Yes... Yes I guess so."

"Whatever the case I got something I wanna talk to you two about." the man grinned.

"Who are you anyway?" Dan asked him.

The man introduced, "Oh my name is Trout. Nice to meet you."

"What do you want us for?" Reed asked him which made him grinned.

Minutes later...

Reed, and Dan were waiting until two teens which wears Egyptian Civilian Clothing which reminds Dan of Aladdin, and a girl wearing a fur coat came.

"They fell for it!" they heard Trout called, "Hook, like, and sinker! Ha ha ha! I just made my best catch ever you two! Look what's for dinner!"

With that Dan, and Reed walked in as Reed asked, "Hey what's cooking you guys? A table for two? 'Cause if you are, it would be my pleasure to serve up some culinary competition! I hope you brought your appetites with you!"

"Along with your best skills to enjoying the main course." Dan added.

"Oh what's this? Dan Kizami is with Reed Pepper, Trout, Halil, and Olga? Wasn't he eliminated?" they heard Nico announcing.

Reed laughed, and asked calmly, "Me, and Trout happen to run into him here saying he wants to see the duels close, and personal. Nothing wrong with that right?"

"Well you heard it here folks! Dan Kizami isn't on the field for illegal dueling. He's only here the see the competition up close!" Nico called once they heard Reed's claim, "And it looks like that Olga, and Haili will face against Reed!"

"Trout shouldn't you plan to help him?" Dan asked not liking the sound of that, "That sounds like an unfair advantage."

"Ah, I appreciate your concern Dan, but don't worry about me." Reed smiled to him, "I can take care of them."

"And maybe after one of us should take Dan on as a friendly duel." the Aladdin like boy named Halil suggested with a smile, "He's what we want to face in these kinds of tournaments."

"Will that even by allowed?" Dan asked him,

Ogla told him, "As long as Nico agrees it'll be fine. You are quite a talk around these parts."

Dan hearing that sat down on a log, and said, "Okay. How about the winner of this Duel challenges me?"

"It's a deal!" Reed agreed as they armed themselves.

Minutes later...

As Reed won the duel Ray, and Dan felt a slight shift as they turned.

'Ray you feel that...?' Dan asked her.

'Yes, I did.' Ray answered.

Reed told him, "Okay Dan. Let's get this cooking show on the road."

Dan hearing that asked Ray, 'How bad is it Ray?'

'Yuya, and Shay are at the location. It's a small group.' Ray answered.

Dan nodded, 'Then the Fusion Warriors will wait.'

With that said, and done he got ready arming himself. "Reed let me make one thing clear for you."

Reed nodded showing he's listening.

"Don't hold back." Dan told him, "If you do, that would be bad."

"Ah don't worry. I won't hold myself against someone as yourself." Reed grinned to him as they readied themselves.

"DUEL!"

Dan nodded, "And one that has a Special Ability. It can't be destroyed in battle by a non-Normal Monster, and can't be effected to your monster's Special Abilities."

"Oh dear me." Reed said not expecting that.

"'Dear me' is right because First of the Dragons will be attacking your Carrot like Owl!" Dan called as his dragon fired a blast at the owl.

Reed tan to an Action Card, "I activate Jungle Wild!"

"So now all the Cookpals are transferred to the Oven to bake." Reed grinned as his two monsters were placed in the oven, "Then I add two Cookpals from my Deck equal to the amount of Ingredients it placed. Such as Royal Cookpal Prince Curry, and Royal Cookpal King Burger."

He shows the two cards to him.

"Okay. Well it's a replay so my dragon attacks you directly!" Dan called as his dragon fired a blast at Reed who took the blow. (Reed: 2900)

"That was a good hit you done." Reed smiled.

Dan nodded back also with a smile, "I place 1 card down, and it's your turn."

Dan: 4000

Reed: 2900

Reed 2nd Turn:

'Real food from their...?' Dan thought seeing that as he paused hearing his stomach growl, 'Oh man all this Cookpal stuff is making me hungry...'

'Maybe after the duel you can snack with some chips?' Ray suggested which he nodded.

Reed added, "Then Regal Recipes deals you 300 points of damage for each Royal Cookpal summoned by this effect."

Dan felt the spell hit him. (Dan: 3400)

"And let's keep the tension flowing. I activate the Spell, Royal Recipe." Reed told him.

"This spell doubles the attack points of my Prince Curry." Reed smiled.

"And then King Burger's own ability does the same." Reed added as Prince Curry got a power up. (ATK: 600 x 2 = 1200)

"Golly molly..." Dan said surprised.

"And now my Cookpal attacks your dragon!" Reed grinned as Prince Curry charged, and struck the Dragon.

Dan reminded, "Your monster isn't a Normal Monster so he's not going anywhere!"

"Perhaps but you'll feel the spiciness of the attack. Not too much as unfortunately Royal Recipe only gets you to talk half of what you'll orginally took." Reed told him as Dan grunted. (Dan: 2850)

"And I'll set 2 cards, and that's it." Reed ended.

Prince Curry: (ATK: 2200 - 1000 / 2/ 2 = 300)

"Huh?" Dan sees that his monster is eating the burger.

"Thing is when you summon a monster a Royal Cookpal returns itself to my hand to destroy it." Reed explained as Dan widen his eyes as his Xyz shattered easily.

"Well... Since I'm not summoning another monster my dragon will take care of your monster!" Dan called as the dragon attacks Prince Curry.

"Reed has four Cookpals, a face-down, Regal Recipes, and Food Cemetery." Halil said at that, "So that's 7 cards."

"And that equals to uh..." Trout trailed off.

"2100. Which is almost enough to take down Reed." Olga finished as the blasts hit Reed. (Reed: 0100)

"You better catch up Reed." Dan smiled to him only to look alarmed at Reed's cold look.

"You dare make a fool of me?" Reed growled before calling, "You'll not get away pulling that stunt! I play my face-down, Cooking Recipe!"

A slight disgusted look went through Dan, 'Chili? I hate chili!'

With Declan...

"Sir!"

Declan who was talking with Riley asked, "What is it Claude?"

"We detected a large amount of energy!" Claude answered.

Declan asked him, "Of which method?"

"Fusion sir." Claude answered as the screen shows Reed dueling Dan.

Declan narrowed his eyes at Reed, "I knew he's suspicious."

Back at the duel...

"The Emperor can't be targeted to your effects! And now the Princess will double his attack points!" Reed called as the Princess powered the monster. (ATK: 1000 x 2 = 2000), "And next everytime his attack points doubles he gains 500 more!"

Emperor Chili: (ATK: 2000 + 500 = 2500)

"Ah crap!" Dan cried running for an Action Card.

"Now attack that dragon!" Reed called as the dragon was harshly attacked as Dan grunted at the blow. (Dan: 0250)

Dan grabbed the Card.

"And now since you took damage the Emperor deals you 200 more points of damage for each Cookpal in the oven!" Reed called as the emperor fired a blast which hit as Reed smirked only to be alarmed when blasts hit him, "What!?"

Dan wins the duel!

Reed looks really angry as he smirked, "You want to play it that way huh? Obelisk Force emerge!"

At that the soldiers that were with Chazz, and Sora jumped out of the bushes surprising the four challengers.

Ray told him, 'These are Fusion Warriors!'

'Then... Reed is a Fusion Warrior as well!' Dan thought in shock as he sees Reed turned to Halil, and Olga.

"Now that the egg is out of the frying pan, no reason to keep you around." Reed smirked as he pressed a button as the two screamed turning to cards much to Trout, and Dan's horror.

Trout stammered, "R-Reed? Why did you...?"

He flinched when Reed turned to him.

"Your next Fishy Boy." Reed smirked walking over.

Trout grunted before calling, "Aieee!"

He threw his fishing pole to a rock where it latched as swung it where the Obelisk Force avoided, "Dan I'll hold these guys off, you get out of here!"

"Trout, I won't leave you!" Dan cried worried.

Trout cried, "Yes, you can! Before it's too lateeeeeeee-!"

At that he was turned to a card by Reed as Dan stared in horror as Reed smirked, "Your next little brat."

Dan glared as Ray told him, 'Dan run! Run!'

Dan hearing that started to ran off as Reed commanded, "Don't let him escape!"

The Obelisk Force ran after Dan as he struggled around, 'I gotta find Shay, and Yuya!'

Didn't expect that twist did ya? Reed is a member of Duel Academy, and he won't be the only character of a different dimension joining Duel Academy soon. But next chapter is where he encounters Chazz, and the Championship, and maybe his life is thrown to the bitter end! Be sure to review!
