Allie slowly woke up only to feel something tightening it's grip around her. She frowned and tried to wiggle free before looking to see what it was holding her. It was Cloud still asleep. Seeing that Allie blushed before her eyes widened and she blushed even move before looking down to make sure she was wearing her pajamas before letting out a quiet sigh and smiling before snuggling closer to Cloud.
Cloud wrapped his arms saying in his sleep, "I love you Allie... Don't ever leave..."
She smiled. "I never will Cloudy."
As she said that Allie put her head on his chest and closed her eyes.
"I'll stay right here for as long as you want."
But she realized he wasn't finished talking by this line, "...Don't reject me either like her..."
Allie's eyes widened before she started tearing up. "Huh? What?"
Hearing her crying Cloud's eyes snapped open sitting up, "A-Allie what's wrong!? Is something-"
He sees Allie is so close to him with tears as he blushed bright, "Allie?"
"A-Allie!" Cloud cried seeing her ran off totally confused.
"Huh, Cloud you're up?" Yuya asked walking into the room. "Is something wrong?"
"Allie just ran off for some reason..." Cloud said before looking down, "Was I bothering her all along?"
"I don't think so, come on maybe we can ask her when we get to You Show. It might have been a nightmare." Yuya suggested.
"...Like last time." He heard Cloud mumble.
"Last time?" Yuya asked.
"Huh? Oh uh, it's nothing. Come on." Cloud said walking down.
Yuya frowned but nodded following him.
"Morning you two." Yoko said to them, "Cloud what happened with Allie?"
"M-Me, and Yuya will find out Ma'am." Cloud told her.
Yoko raised an eyebrow before nodding. "Alright."
Meanwhile at You Show...
Zuzu was looking over some folders, and notes.
"Big sis Zuzu!"
"Huh?" Zuzu looked over.
Allie was running over to her in tears.
"A-Allie?" Zuzu asked hugging her, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Cloud?"
Allie had tears before telling Zuzu everything from when they had dinner, to Cloud thinking he was getting a little fat, to her waking up with Cloud holding her and then what he said.
"... And, I don't think he likes me anymore..." Allie finished before starting to cry as she hugged Zuzu back.
Zuzu blinked before saying, "Allie... That might be the reason why..."
She looked up still in tears.
"The reason why he thinks he's bothering people. He did like another girl but she turned him down... What you heard might've been before he met you." Zuzu explained.
Allie frowned. "But... he doesn't trust me."
"He does. He's worried that he's gonna mess things up we known that. We're gonna talk to him about him." Zuzu told her.
Allie looked worried but nodded. "O... ok."
They waited until who walked was Yuya, and Cloud, and Cloud was saying, "Well, I haven't tried the cards so maybe..."
He stopped when they noticed the girls. Allie looked down.
"Cloud, we need to talk." Zuzu told him.
"What's going on?" Cloud asked her, "I didn't bother her big time did I?"
"Who's 'her' Cloud?" Zuzu asked.
"Huh?" Cloud asked confused, "It's Allie who I'm talking about."
"No it isn't!" Allie shouted before tearing up. "You said 'Don't ever leave... ...Don't reject me either like her.' You don't like me and think I'm going to leave. You hate me don't you?"
"H-Huh? Was I talking in my sleep?" Cloud asked in shock before looking down, "No... I don't hate you Allie... What you heard was before we met."
Allie looked down. "You don't trust me anymore."
"Allie, I didn't mean it like that." Cloud said to her, "I was just real worried, and terrified, I would just do something stupid that could really mess up."
Allie blushed bright red. "I... don't think anything could mess things up Cloudy."
Cloud sighed, "I should tell you why I am acting like this..."
"Yeah, that might help." Zuzu agreed.
They all sat down as he said, "It was a few years back. I was a chipper young lad wanting to help everyone, and then... Someone caught my eye."
Flashback...
Cloud: I don't know who she is but I feel she is an angel.
Cloud younger was having fun around the city sparking laughs to everyone as he explains things, and cracking jokes around. Then he spots a blue haired girl around his age talking to some girls all looking like their rich as he gulped before walking over.
Cloud: Her name was Sapphire, and she was a beautiful girl. During the time, I met her, I had been helping her or assisting her in anything she needs... She is a little grouchy but I thought she needed some fun.
Over the next few scenes Cloud introduced himself to Sapphire, and then shift to where he does tasks for her with her acting superior but he doesn't let that bother her grinning now, and then on her face along with rubbing her shoes clean, brushing her hair, fetching some tea, and even doing nails which he didn't do before but was a natural.
Cloud: And overtime my feelings for her grow everyday, and I soon thought of the perfect time to say my feelings too her... But... Needless to say it shaken me to the core.
Cloud walked to Sapphire was reading something as he asked nervously, "S-Sapphire?"
She looked up before sighing. "What is it?"
"I... Got something to tell you." Cloud said blushing with a smile, "Since we met, I knew I had it for a while but now I'm ready... I like you. I mean the 'like like' you, ya know?"
Sapphire's eyes narrowed. "What? Are you joking?"
"Huh?" Cloud blinked hearing that.
"You're a pest, acting so cheerful all the time? It annoys me to no end." Sapphire told him coldly. "You're just a common brat while I'm actually someone important, I would have to be an idiot to spend time with you... you're no better than a servant. You know what would make everyone happier, if you just went away forever and nobody had to see you again. Now if you don't mind, I'm doing something so go away and don't bother me again."
"W-What? B-But, I thought you liked me..." Cloud asked stepping back in shock with tears building.
"Didn't you hear me, I said just go away." Sapphire told him before turning back to what she was reading and completely ignoring him.
Cloud shaken before starting crying running out.
Cloud: Hearing her said that tore my heart hundred times over... It made me think all I done is bothering everyone, and that nobody even likes me around. It's why I'm so meek, all the time, afraid of messing something up...
The next flashbacks shows Cloud not doing what he used too as people watched him now confused, and concerned for his change of personality, and a kid saw him, and offered to join him, and his friends but Cloud passed by not saying anything as they watched surprised by what they saw.
Cloud: I... I thought everyone was better off without me... And that I should just exclude myself never to return...
Flashback End...
Cloud trembled as tears fell from his eyes to his hands, "But... you guys had helped see it isn't like that... But I am terrified I will do something... And we'll not be friends anymore..."
With that said he started to cry.
"That... that..." Allie started as she clenched her fists and started trembling in anger. "That brat!"
"Allie!" Zuzu scolded but sighed, "I'll excuse it this time."
"...You all hate me now do you?" Cloud asked his voice cracking sniffing loudly crying.
Allie immediately hugged him as tightly as she could. "I could never hate you... I hate her."
Cloud started to sob real loud hugging her real tight. Allie held him before pausing. "Cloudy... where did you meet her?"
Zuzu turned to Yuya for his reaction. Yuya looked completely stunned at what Cloud had told them.
"T-The Front of LID." Cloud sobbed crying.
"Oh my, I suppose I came at a bad time."
Everyone turned at that. It was a blonde haired boy wearing a white blazer looking to them.
"Who are you?" Yuya asked curiously.
"I'm Sylvio Sawatari. A Student of LID who is interested in your Pendulum Summoning." Sylvio answered.
"Oh... LID students are interested in it?" Yuya asked in surprise before Allie turned to Sylvio.
"Do you know Sapphire?" she asked.
"Huh? Sapphire, let me think." Sylvio said thinking about it before remembering, "Oh Sapphire Hyuga, the daughter of Miss Liz Hyuga, and chosen heir of the Hyuga Trademark Foundation."
"Where is she?" Allie questioned. "She hurt Cloudy. So I want to beat her and make her say sorry."
"Huh?" Sylvio blinked hearing that, "I'd be more then happy to take you to her in LID right now only if Yuya comes with me also. There are things between me, and him to discuss on Pendulum."
Allie turned to Yuya. "We have to go, for Cloudy."
Yuya looked before turning to Cloud who looked broken before saying to Allie, "Okay Allie. But just remember one thing."
"Yeah?" she asked.
Yuya just grinned as he usual does, "Duel with a Smile."
Allie smiled before nodding. "Ok."
She turned to Cloud.
"It'll be ok Cloudy, I promise."
Cloud looked to her with tears as they walked off.
Soon Sylvio arrived at a Classroom saying to Allie, and Cloud, "If Miss Sapphire haven't left yet she'll be in here. Come with me Yuya, Zuzu."
With that the three teenage kids walked off leaving the two, and the door. Allie turned and hugged Cloud before knocking on the door. Who answered was a teacher as she blinked, "Oh are you two new students?"
"No." Allie said. "We're from You Show Duel School, but I want to duel Sapphire Hyuga."
"Sapphire? She's in here." the teacher said stepping aside as the two walked in seeing a big classroom.
Soon Cloud froze as Allie sees from his line of vision was a group of maybe five kids with one sitting down with blue hair laughing with them in a superior tone. Allie pouted before giving Cloud a quick kiss on the cheek and walking over to them.
"Sapphire?"
Hearing that the six looked over as the blue haired girl asked, "Do I know you?"
"No, but you know Cloudy. He was super nice to you and you were mean." Allie told her. "Now say sorry."
"Cloudy? What kind of a stupid name is that?" Sapphire asked before noticing Cloud as she walked over as Cloud shaken more as she stopped in front of him, "You look familiar... Have I fired you before?"
"...It wasn't that long ago that we met." Cloud said shaken.
Soon Sapphire narrowed his eyes, "Oh, now I remember... The little pest that bugs me to no end, and annoys everyone only as a servant that thinks I love him... I thought I told you to never come back why are you here?"
Cloud shaken more looking down. Allie's eyes narrowed before...
SLAP
Everyone gasped, and Cloud stopped his breath in shock by what he just saw.
Sapphire turned to Allie more shocked then in pain before growling, "How dare you do that me?"
"You're not better than anybody else. Especially not Cloudy, he's super nice, and friendly. You're just a mean person, I challenge you and when I win you're going to say sorry to him." Allie told her.
Sapphire then smirked, "Fool do you even know what your getting yourself into? The Deck I have is stronger then what your weak cards can do against me."
"I'll still win." Allie told her.
"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you." Sapphire smirked before turning to Cloud, "As for you when this is over don't think your off the hook."
With that she walked off. Allie hugged Cloud at that. "It'll be ok, and I won't ever do anything mean like that. I promise."
"Allie... I seen what her Deck is about..." Cloud said shaking a little.
"I'll be ok, I promise Cloudy." Allie whispered kissing his nose. "You trust me right?"
Cloud looked before nodding. Allie smiled. "Ok, then I promise I'll win and it'll be ok... though, can you try and be happy like before? I want you to be happy."
Cloud asked her, "I... I won't annoy you or anything?"
Allie shook her head. "You can't annoy me Cloudy."
Cloud nodded hearing that before hugging her tight. Allie hugged him back. "Come on, let's go."
With that they walked out.
At the Dueling Field...
Allie, Cloud, and Sapphire walked in only to see Sylvio talking with Yuya, and Zuzu.
"I hope you realize what your getting yourself into." Sapphire smirked to her.
"I'm helping Cloudy." Allie answered as they walked over to the others. "Excuse me, can we duel?"]Hearing that they looked over as Yuya questioned, "So your Sapphire."
"That's right. So your who's spouting lies to that commoner." Sapphire said coldly.
Yuya flinched at that. "Lies?"
She then turned to Sylvio, "Now move with them so I can teach this Commoner a lesson."
Sylvio sighed. "Alright fine. We'll deal with our situation next Yuya."
They walked off the field as Sapphire smirked, "For all that I hope your ready. I activate the Action Field, Clear World!"
At that they appeared in a blank location with crystals around them.

"That's a DARK Monster, so you don't get to attack me anymore." Allie mentioned.
"Uh Allie..." Cloud said nervously, "Sapphire's Clear Monsters don't have an attribute so she's unaffected to Clear World."
Allie's eyes widened in shock hearing that before running to try and find an Action Card.
"I place down two cards. Your move you little peasant." Sapphire smirked.
Allie 1st Turn:
Allie drew her card and smiled. "I summon Aquaactress Guppy in attack mode."

Arowana appeared ready bubbling.

Allie meanwhile grabbed a card. "I play Invisibility!"
Invisibility
Action Spell Card
Target 1 monster you control; this turn, it cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects, also it is unaffected by other card effects.
"This means Arowana is protected from every card you control."

"Next up Aquaactress Arowana's ability adds Aquaactress Tetra to my hand." Allie continued. "Then I'll set one card and activate three spells, Aquarium Lighting, Aquarium Stage, and Aquarium Set!"
Aquarium Lighting

You can only control 1 "Aquarium Lighting".

The three spells appeared as Sapphire grunted.
Guppy: (ATK: 600 + (300 * 2) = 1200)
"Now Aquaactress Guppy attacks Clear Phantom and thanks to Aquarium Lighting her points get doubled." Allie revealed.
Guppy: (ATK: 1200 * 2 = 2400)
Guppy fired a blast destroying Phantom as Sapphire grunted. (Sapphire: 2800)
Sapphire then smirked, "Clear Phantom's ability now kicks in. When destroyed your Guppy joins him, and then you have to send your top three cards to the graveyard!"
Allie's eyes widened as her cards went to the graveyard.
"Well Arowana can still attack you." Allie said.
Arowana attacks as Sapphire grabbed an Action Card only to frown as she is blasted. (Sapphire: 0800)
"I end my turn." Allie smiled before turning to Cloud. "See Cloudy? Everything's ok just like I said."
Cloud looked a little calm seeing this as he smiled.
"You just got lucky big deal." Sapphire glared, "Due to Clear World's effect you have to discard a card now."
Allie nodded discarding her card.
Allie: 4000
Sapphire: 0800
Sapphire 2nd Turn:
"My turn draw." Sapphire said drawing as she then said with a smirk, "I start by activating Trade-In."

Target 1 Level 7 or 8 Dragon monster in your GY; Special Summon it. If a Dragon monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish this card from your GY instead.
Allie frowned briefly before smiling. "Well don't forget with Invisibility's effect wearing off Arowana gets the boost from Aquarium Set."
Arowana: (ATK: 2000 + (300 * 2) = 2600)
"Boost her up however you want cause it'll only make this monster more devastating." Sapphire smirked, "Come out Clear Vice Dragon!"
At that a huge dragon in a crystal appeared roaring.
Clear Vice Dragon
Dark Type
Level 8
Dragon
ATK: ?
DEF: 0
You are unaffected by the effects of "Clear World". If this card attacks an opponent's monster, the ATK of this card becomes twice the ATK of the attack target, during damage calculation only. If this card would be destroyed by an opponent's card effect, you can discard 1 card instead.
"Huh, how strong is that one?" Allie asked in confusion.
Cloud shook, "A-Allie? T-That's her ultimate monster... Now even if she doesn't have a Clear Monster, Clear World doesn't hinder her, and it's attack points are always double the amount of the monster it's attacks."
Allie's eyes widened in shock. "But... Arowana's my best monster and if Aquarium Lighting doubles her points to 5200..."
"I told you before you can buff up your monster all you want. It's only gonna make my dragon more devastating." Sapphire told her.
Allie took a nervous step back hearing that.
"And now take this as your sign to regret challenging me." Sapphire smirked as the dragon exited the crystal roaring.
Arowana: (ATK: 2600 x 2 = 5200)
Clear Vice Dragon: (ATK: ? + (5200 * 2) = 10400)
"Clear Vice Stream!" Sapphire called as Clear Vice fired a blast.
Cloud seeing this ran in, "Allie!"
Suddenly Allie smiled. "You shouldn't underestimate You Show, I activate my trap card Aqua Story - Urashima!"
Aqua Story - Urashima
Normal Trap Card
If you have an "Aquaactress" monster in your Graveyard: Target 1 monster on the field; until the end of this turn, its effects are negated, its ATK and DEF become 100, also it is unaffected by your opponent's card effects.
"Since I have an Aquaactress in the graveyard this trap card targets Clear Vice Dragon and negates it's abilities and it's attack and defense points are just 100. Plus your cards don't work on him anymore."
"Think I didn't know that?" Sapphire smirked.
"I activate Dark Illusion!" Sapphire called.
Dark Illusion
Counter Trap Card
When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated that targets a DARK monster on the field: Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.
"A card effects that targets a Dark Monster is negated, and destroyed!" Sapphire smirked.

"Allie! There's an Action Card above!" Cloud called.
Allie looked up and grabbed it only for her eyes to widen as she was zapped.

(Allie: 3200)
The attack struck huge as Allie landed hard.
Allie: 0000

Sapphire wins the duel!
Cloud ran to her worried. Allie had tears in her eyes before shoving away and running from the room crying.
"A-Allie wait!" Cloud cried as the field vanished running after her.
"Pathetic, what a waste of time." Sapphire frowned. "Commoners like them may as well jump in a lake, it would make the entire city better."
With that she walked off. Yuya glared at where she walked off before telling Zuzu, "Zuzu, go to them. I'll take care of Sylvio."
"Right Yuya, I'll..." Zuzu started before someone grabbed her and dragged her to a square on the field.
"Activating the Action Field, Prison Tower of Darkville!" Sylvio said quickly.
Prison Tower of Darkville
Action Field Card
You can use Action Cards, but you can only have 1 Action Card in your hand.
"What?" Yuya asked looking around before turning to Sylvio with a glare, "What are you doing?"
"What good is a Prison Tower without a prisoner Yuya? You want her back down safely, you'll have to beat me but without your Pendulum Cards that won't be happening." Sylvio smirked.
Yuya glared, "Fine, I'll just beat you here!"
They both armed themselves.
"DUEL!"

Yuya: 4000

"With this, I am allowed to summon two Abyss Actors from my hand or deck but must skip my Normal Summon." Sylvio smirked.

"What the?" Sylvio asked in shock.
"By sacrificing a Performapal, I can Special Summon, Sleight Hand Magician." Yuya explained.
Zuzu smiled only to frown. 'Without his Pendulum Cards Yuya's at a big disadvantage. I just hope he can figure out a way to beat Sylvio so we can get to Allie.'
"And now, I activate Sleight Hand's ability! By sacrificing a card in my hand, I can destroy a card on the field!" Yuya called discarding a card, "I destroy Evil Heel!"
Sylvio jumped through the field as Evil Heel shattered, "Through Dress Rehearsal's effect Evil Heel returns to my hand instead of the graveyard!"
"Sleight Hand Magician attack Sassy Rookie!" Yuya called as the attack struck.
Sylvio called, "Sassy Rookie can't be destroyed 1 time a turn!"
"But you still take damage!" Yuya reminded as Sylvio grunted. (Sylvio: 3200)
"Nice one Yuya." Zuzu cheered.
"I place two cards down!" Yuya said setting them.
Yuya: 4000
Sylvio: 3200
Sylvio 2nd Turn:
"Well Yuya even without your Pendulum Cards your still tough." Sylvio smirked drawing as he grinned, "But will it be enough I wonder?"
Zuzu frowned at that. Sylvio then paused, 'Wait how do these work?'
Yuya and Zuzu blinked seeing that.
"Huh, what's wrong?" Yuya asked him.
"Oi, be quiet!" Sylvio snapped looking at the Magicians in his hand trying to figure out how they work before he soon grinned, "I use scale one Stargazer Magician..."
Yuya's eyes widened. "No... you can't..."
Zuzu froze in shock.
"... And scale eight Timegazer Magician..." Sylvio continued.
Yuya looked terrified seeing that while Zuzu's eyes widened.
"No way... that's impossible." she whispered.
Sylvio suddenly smirked. "... In order to set the Pendulum Scale, this allows me to summon monsters from level two through seven all at once."
As he said that the two magicians appeared on the field.

"Sylvio... can Pendulum Summon?" Yuya asked in disbelief.
Meanwhile...
"Well done Sylvio." stated a man sitting at a desk before his computer started beeping. "Hm?"
It lists an error. The person frowned before looking into the error. 'What is this?'
He sees Timegazer's card as it said a sentence:
You must control no monsters to activate this card.
The person's eyes widened seeing that. 'How you will adapt Sylvio?'
Back at the Dueling Field...
Sylvio smirked, "Now I can do this kind of summoning too."
Suddenly Timegazer Magician started sparking.
"Huh?" They asked noticing that.
"What's going on?" Yuya asked. "That's not normal."
"What's wrong with this thing? It's a Pendulum Card ain't it?" Sylvio asked taking it off his Duel Disk before putting it back on.
"ERROR!"
"What's going on!?" Sylvio yelled at this.
"How are we supposed to know?" Zuzu questioned.
"Ugh fine I'll have to do it later!" Sylvio yelled placing it in his hand, "I summon Abyss Actor - Leading Lady!"

Yuya was blinking in confusion. 'What happened? Did I cheat before?'
"And now I activate my face-down, Shrink!" Sylvio called.
Shrink
Quick-Play Spell Card
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; its original ATK becomes halved until the end of this turn.
Sleight Hand Magician: (ATK: 2500 / 2 = 1250)
Zuzu noticed Yuya still looked confused to notice.
"Yuya, pay attention!" Zuzu cried.
"H-Huh?" Yuya looked, and widen his eyes getting to an Action Card.
"Sassy Rookie attack!" Sylvio called as Sassy Rookie charged, and struck Sleight Hand as Yuya grunted. (Yuya: 3550)
"Yuya!" Zuzu cried in horror seeing that.
"Your turn Leading Lady!" Sylvio called as Leading Lady charged as Yuya grabbing an Action Card only for Leading Lady to struck him. (Yuya: 2050)
Zuzu's eyes widened in horror. 'Yuya...' "Come on Yuya, you can take him down just focus!"
"Your move Yuya." Sylvio grinned.
Yuya 2nd Turn:
Yuya drew as he looked frowning, 'Pendulum Call... He has both Magician's so I can't use it...'
Suddenly his Pendulum started glowing.
"What?" Sylvio questioned seeing that.
Yuya soon saw two magicians in his line of vision before grinning, "I activate Pendulum Call!"
Pendulum Call

You can only activate 1 "Pendulum Call" per turn. You cannot activate this card if you activated a "Magician" monster's Pendulum Effect this turn.
"By sending this Action Card to the graveyard, I can add two Magicians to my hand as long as their Pendulum Monsters!" Yuya called.
"What are you talking about? I have the Pendulum Cards." Sylvio pointed out.
Two cards ejected for Yuya to take as he grinned, "Yeah but their not the only ones."
Zuzu's eyes widened in shock. 'Yuya?'
"And now I use Scale 1 Dragonpulse Magician, and Scale 8 Dragonpit Magician to set the Pendulum Scale! I'm taking control of this duel staring now!" Yuya called activating a new scale.
At that the Scale was set as the two flew up one cheerful but one stoic.

Sylvio and Zuzu stared at the cards in shock.
"So now I can summon monsters between levels 2, and 7 all at the same time!" Yuya called, "Swing far Pendulum! Carve the Arc of Victory! My monsters are ready to swing into Action!"
The portal spew only 1 monster.
"Turn up the heat, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya called as his ace appeared roaring.

You can only use each Pendulum Effect of "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" once per turn.
Monster Effect: If this card battles an opponent's monster, any battle damage this card inflicts to your opponent is doubled.

"I activate, Spiral Flame Strike!" Yuya called.
Spiral Flame Strike

● Add to your hand, 1 Level 7 "Odd-Eyes" monster from your Deck, or 1 face-up Level 7 "Odd-Eyes" Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck.
"When I have Odd-Eyes in play a monster is destroyed!" Yuya called as Odd-Eyes attacked Sassy Rookie but didn't harm it, "And now it's immunity is used up!"
That made Sylvio ran for an Action Card.
"Odd-Eyes attack Sassy Rookie with Spiral Flame Strike!" Yuya called as Odd-Eyes fired a blast, "And when Odd-Eyes battles the damage is doubled! Reaction Force!"
Odd-Eyes dealt a big strike hitting Sylvio as he cried out. (Sylvio: 1600)
Zuzu's eyes widened in shock only to suddenly frown. 'Allie...'
"And now I activate Wonder Chance!" Yuya called grabbing an Action Card.
Wonder Chance
Action Spell Card
Target 1 face-up monster you control; this turn, it can attack once again.
"This allows Odd-Eyes to attack again in a row!" Yuya called.
Sylvio's eyes widened in horror hearing that.
"Go Odd-Eyes!" Yuya called as Odd-Eyes attacks.
Sylvio grunted, "I activate Defense Draw!"
Defense Draw
Normal Trap Card
During your opponent's turn, at damage calculation: Make the battle damage you take from this battle 0, and if you do, draw 1 card.
"I don't take damage, and draw!" Sylvio called drawing as Leading Lady shattered.
"So close, but with Odd-Eyes Yuya should be ok." Zuzu smiled.
"I end my turn." Yuya said to him.
Yuya: 2050
Sylvio: 1600
Sylvio 3rd Turn:
"Alright Yuya, now I'm angry! Let's try this again! I activate Scale 8 Timegazer Magician!" Sylvio called placing the card again.
This time the monster appeared without issue.
"Ha finally." Sylvio smirked, "Might had an effect that prevents activation but now I fulfilled it!"
"You might have Pendulum Cards Sylvio but Yuya does too and he's a lot better at using them than you are." Zuzu told him.
"Then let's see if my Pendulum Summon can be better!" Sylvio called, "Pendulum Summon! Reappear Evil Heel, and welcome Superstar!"
What only appeared was an afro fiend.

Evil Heel didn't show up.
"What-Oh. Levels between the Pendulum Scale not the other way around. Whatever Superstar is still more then enough!" Sylvio yelled, "As it's summoned you can't use Spells/Traps, or their effects for this turn!"
"Odd-Eyes and Superstar have the same attack points." Yuya pointed out.
"Not when I activate Abyss Script - Rise of the Abyss King!" Sylvio called.

"It destroys your Odd-Eyes!" Sylvio called as Odd-Eyes shattered.
"Odd-Eyes!" Yuya cried before freezing and just staring at the spot his dragon had been moments before.
"And now attack Superstar!" Sylvio called as Superstar charged.
Yuya watched before calling, "I activate Kuribohble's effect!"
Zuzu let out a sigh of relief seeing that.
"What?" Sylvio asked.
"When I'm attacked directly, I can summon this card!" Yuya called as a kuriboh performer appeared.
"Kuri Kuri!"
Performapal Kuribohble

When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, change the attack target to this card, and proceed to damage calculation. If you would take battle damage from that battle, you gain that much LP instead.
"Your hand was empty! You should not have that pipsqueak in your hand!" Sylvio argued.
Yuya explained, "Yeah but I had activated Jar of Greed in response to Superstar's ability activating. And you can guess what the card I drawn is."
"Fine you only spared yourself some of the damage but it's not enough! Superstar prevents you from getting an Action Card too! This is the end!" Sylvio yelled as Superstar charged.
Superstar struck Kuribohble destroying it.
(Yuya: 4250)
"WHAT!? You gained life points!? How!?" Sylvio asked totally confused.
"It's Performapal Kuribohble's ability Sylvio, when it battles after using it's special ability Yuya gains life points instead of taking damage." Zuzu told him.
Sylvio growled, "Fine! Your still finished Yuya!"
Yuya 3rd Turn:
Yuya drawn, and looked before looking troubled.
"Yuya?" Zuzu asked seeing that. "Yuya, you can beat him."
Yuya soon heard a roar before calling, "Revive from my Extra Deck! Odd-Eyes!"
Odd-Eyes reappeared roaring. Zuzu's eyes widened in shock.
"What? But I destroyed that monster!" Sylvio argued.
"Pendulum Monsters don't go to the graveyard. They instead go to the Extra Deck!" Yuya grinned.
Sylvio's eyes widened in shock.
"And now I activate Dragonpulse Magician's Pendulum ability!" Yuya said discarding his drawn card, "By sacrificing a Pendulum Monster in my hand a monster is destroyed!"
"Great job." Zuzu smiled.
"The target is obvious!" Yuya called as Pulse Magician destroyed Superstar, "Odd-Eyes attack Sylvio directly!"
Odd-Eyes fired a blast as Sylvio panicked being blasted crying out.
Yuya: 4250
Sylvio: 0000
Yuya wins the duel!
With Yuya's victory the Action Field faded and Zuzu ran up before hugging him. "That was amazing Yuya, you're really mastering Pendulum Summoning."
Yuya looked startled before blushing hugging her back, "Thanks."
She smiled warmly. 'You've come so far since we were kids Yuya...'
Suddenly her eyes widened.
"Allie and Cloud!"
"Huh? O-Oh yeah!" Yuya cried before running to Sylvio, and took the Magician's back, "Come on!"
They ran off.
Meanwhile...
"Allie! Allie!" Cloud called.
She had run and ended up in an empty classroom where she was crying.
"Allie!" Cloud cried closing the door, and running to her.
She started sobbing at that.
"Allie it's alright. It's okay." Cloud told her.
"I'm... worthless... as...a... friend..." Allie choked out while sobbing.
"No, your not." Cloud said immediately.
She started crying even harder.
"Allie... You instead helped me regain something." Cloud told her.
Allie looked up with red tear-filled eyes. Cloud was smiling, "You helped me regain what I used to be."
Seeing Cloud smile Allie's eyes widened before she embraced him. "Cloudy..."
Cloud smiled hugging her back before saying, "Allie, the old Cloud is back! Tricky Cloud has come back after years, and now ready to make people laugh, and happy like old times!"
He felt Allie crying again but could tell she was happier. Cloud helped her up. Allie smiled before hugging him.
"And by the way about that match." Cloud said to her before smiling, "Don't let that take ya down you can grow stronger, and get her next time! And I'm gonna help ya the Cloud Way!"
Allie nodded before frowning. "I just made her think You Show is weak though."
"So we'll show her that we gotten better." Cloud smiled.
Allie blinked before nodding.
"Come on." Cloud smiled as they walked off.
Meanwhile...
"Sir?" a suited man asked before pressing a button.
"What is it?" asked a young man wearing a scarf.
A message began to play. It was extremely distorted but they were able to make out the words "Seto Kaiba" "Duel Academy" and "Yugi's idea... find others."
"Duel Academy?" the man asked hearing that.
"Is it possible another Dimension is contacting us... could it be the Synchro Dimension? the suited man asked.
"No. It's the duelists the Greats lived in." the man answered.
The man's eyes widened as a woman in a red suit frowned.
"What do you suggest we do Declan?" she inquired.
Declan answered, "We need to inform everyone."
She nodded at that.
bopdog111: Well we founded out why he's so meek.
Ulrich362: True, unfortunately Allie couldn't take down Sapphire despite her best efforts.
bopdog111: She'll get another chance in the future.
Ulrich362: Hopefully... well see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
