bopdog111: Well now it's Claire's turn.
Ulrich362: True, let's see how her electrifying deck handles itself.
bopdog111: Who will be her opponent?
Ulrich362: That's a good question, only one way to find out. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Yudo was hugging Chip close to him with a smile. Claire and Emily both smiled only for Claire to pause.
"Yudo, can I ask you something?" she asked him.
He looked at her curiously, "Yeah, Claire?"
"This... Yuri guy you mentioned, he's a spirit that's around you right?" she asked. "I mean... is he like Atem?"
"Well kinda. He was the Professor's best Duelist, and after he defeated me, I gotten absorbed into his body somehow. I was able to take control several times." Yudo answered.
Hearing that Claire nodded. "So... I guess you guys are going to head out again?"
"You could stay if you want." Emily mentioned. "Duel Academy doesn't know about us yet right? That means you could rest for a little while right?"
"For a bit." Yudo nodded before asking, "You want to duel him Claire?"
"Well, a little bit." she admitted.
Yudo at that asked to Yuri, 'Yuri do you want to duel her? She won several tournaments here, and beat me too.'
'...' Yuri gave thought before smirking, 'Alright, I'll take her challenge. Let me take over.'
"Okay good luck Claire." Yudo smiled to Claire before glowing.
Claire and Emily looked at that in shock while Amy and Carlita frowned slightly knowing what was about to happen. Soon Yuri appeared before looking at Claire with a grin, "He told me you won several contests. So please show me what you can do."
"Well, I won a few tournaments." Claire nodded before Amy handed her a Duel Disk. "Do you want to go first?"
Yuri, and them stepped outside where Yuri prepared his Fusion Dimension Duel Disk with a grin. Claire activated Amy's Duel Disk.
"DUEL!" the two of them called together.

"I'll go first." Yuri grinned to her before taking a card, "I'll start by placing 1 monster down. Your up."
Yuri's Hand: 4/Field: One Set Monster
Claire 1st Turn:
"Just a set monster? Well ok, I'll start with the field spell Wattcastle!" Claire grinned playing the card as a colorful castle with electricity designs on the flags appeared behind her.

"When Wattcobra inflicts damage from a direct attack I can add a Watt monster from my deck to my hand so I'll add Wattfox to my hand." Claire explained. "That ends my turn."

Yuri 2nd Turn:
'Well Yuri, you tried to test the waters, and this happened.' Yudo mentioned to Yuri.
"Well not anymore." Yuri said back to him before drawing, "My turn!" He looked before he grinned, "Well now, it seems like your gonna be the first I used this on."
"What do you mean?" Claire asked curiously only to pause. "Yudo no giving him unfair advice, you know my deck inside and out since we dueled all the time."
Yuri only shook his head, "He is not telling me your Deck."
"Oh, alright then." Claire nodded.
"Now I set Scale 0 Predaplant Bufollicula..." Yuri started.
"You can Pendulum Summon!" Claire cried in shock. "That's awesome."
"And Scale 8 Predaplant Spider Orchid, I set the Pendulum Scale!"
At that two planets shaping a frog, and a spider rose up.

Everyone looked stunned seeing the monsters.
"So now I can summon monsters with levels 1 through 7." Yuri smirked.
"From the eternal predator garden, may these insect alluring fragrance danced along to bring the hell beneath their petals! Pendulum Summon! Arise, my monsters!"
The Pendulum Portal shot two monsters.
"Predaplant Spinodionea, and Predaplant Cordyceps!"
Two plants rose looking dangerous.

"I play the trap card Wattcancel!" Claire said revealing the trap. "By discarding my Wattfox, this trap destroys your monsters!"
Wattcancel
Counter Trap Card
When your opponent would Normal or Special Summon a monster: Discard 1 "Watt" monster; negate the Summon and destroy it.
(A/N (Ulrich362): I checked this on EDOPro, Wattcancel destroyed all monsters Pendulum Summoned at the same time.)
Yuri blinked at this while his monsters both shattered before he shrugged, "Ah well, at least I still got my set monster."
"True, but is one monster really enough to help you?" Claire asked him.
"Let's see. I flip my face-down up. Predaplant Byblisp show yourself!"
What was what seems like a plant like giant hornet with man eating plants as legs.
(Attack Position)
Predaplant Byblisp
DARK
Level 1

ATK: 0
DEF: 1900
If this card is sent to the GY: You can add 1 "Predaplant" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Predaplant Byblisp". If a monster with a Predator Counter is on the field: You can Special Summon this card from your GY, but banish it when it leaves the field. You can only use each effect of "Predaplant Byblisp" once per turn.
"No attack points?" Claire asked seeing that.
"Now I activate Bufollicula's Pendulum Ability." Yuri smirked as the frog plant glowed, "It permits me to Fusion Summon without needing Polymerization."
Emily's eyes widened in shock hearing that.
"So now Byblisp fuse together with the Predaplant Drosophyllum Hydra from my hand!"
The two flew up fusing together.
"Two plants with an insect alluring fragrance! Become one, and from the hell beneath your petals give birth to a new plant who's fragrance is certain to kill! Fusion Summon! Level 8, Predaplant Chimerafflesia!"
At that Chimerafflesia rose up growling.

When an attack is declared involving this card and an opponent's face-up monster: You can activate this effect; until the end of this turn, that opponent's monster loses 1000 ATK, and if it does, this card gains 1000 ATK. Once per turn, during the next Standby Phase after this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Polymerization" Spell Card or "Fusion" Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.
"2500 attack points!" Claire cried in shock. "Well, at least you don't have anything else to attack me with this turn."
"True but your monster won't be my target." Yuri smirked before Claire's only monster vanished.
"What?" Claire questioned.
"What did you do?" Emily asked him. "Where'd Wattcobra go?"
"Chimerafflesia's special ability allows me to pick a monster on your field who's level is lower, and banish it." Yuri smirked to her.
Claire's eyes widened hearing that. "But... that leaves me completely defenseless!"
"Which means this is for attacking me earlier, Chimerafflesia let her have it!"
Chimerafflesia charged in attacking Claire. Claire grunted as she was hit knocking her off her feet.
(Claire: 1500/Hand: 3)
Yuri then adds a card, "Whenever Byblisp is sent to the graveyard, I take a Predaplant to my hand. That'll be all this turn."
Yuri's Hand: 1/Field: Predaplant Bufollicula (Pendulum), Pendulum Spider Orchid (Pendulum), Predaplant Chimerafflesia (Attack Position)
Claire 2nd Turn:
Claire got up before drawing her card only to suddenly grin. "Perfect, I summon Wattsquirrel in attack mode."
(Attack Position)
Wattsquirrel
LIGHT
Level 3
Thunder/Effect
ATK: 700
DEF: 100
This card can attack twice during each Battle Phase. If this card battles, negate the effects of the monster it battled, after damage calculation (including in the Graveyard).
"700?" Celina asked confused before asking Emily, "What is she planning?"
"Just watch." Emily smiled.
"Next up, I'll play my facedown Wattcine." Claire grinned.
Wattcine
Continuous Spell Card
When a Thunder-Type monster you control inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent, gain Life Points equal to the damage inflicted.
"Then, I'll use the spell Wattkey."
Wattkey
Normal Spell Card
Face-up "Watt" monsters you control can attack your opponent directly this turn.
"This spell lets my Watt monsters attack you directly this turn."
"Why would she need that? Doesn't her new monster attack directly?" Amy asked confused.
"No, Wattsquirrel can't attack directly." Emily answered. "Though, I bet I know the last card in her hand."
Claire smiled. "Now, I play Wattcube and equip it to my Wattsquirrel. This increases Wattsquirrel's attack points by 100 for every Thunder monster in my graveyard."
(Equipped to Wattsquirrel)
Wattcube
Equip Spell Card
Equip only to a Thunder-Type monster. It gains 100 ATK for each Thunder-Type monster in your Graveyard. You can send this face-up card from the field to the Graveyard to have 1 face-up Thunder-Type monster you control gain 1000 ATK.
Wattsquirrel: (Equipped with Wattcupe/ATK: 700 + 100 = 800)
"But, I think I'll send Wattcube to the graveyard to activate its other effect and increase the attack points of a Thunder monster by 1000."
Wattsquirrel: (ATK: 900 - 100 + 1000 = 1700)
Yuri widen his eyes seeing what's going on.
"Wattsquirrel's ability lets it attack twice. My Wattkey lets my Watt monsters attack you directly, and thanks to Wattcine any damage a Watt monster deals is added to my life points." Claire revealed. "Wattsquirrel attack him directly!"
Wattsquirrel charged in striking Yuri twice.
Claire: 4500
Hand: 0
Field: Wattcastle (Field Zone), Wattsquirrel (Attack Position/ATK: 1800/Can attack directly/Equipped with Wattcube), Wattcine (face-up), Wattcube (Equipped to Wattsquirrel)
Yuri: 0000
Hand: 1
Field: Predaplant Bufollicula (Pendulum), Pendulum Spider Orchid (Pendulum), Predaplant Chimerafflesia (Attack Position)
Claire wins!
"I didn't even get to Synchro Summon." Claire admitted before walking over to Yuri. "Good match?"
Yuri looked at her before smirking, "Well you really surprised me there. I can see why Yudo talks a bit saying your one of the best duelists he knows."
Claire blushed. "He said that?"
Yuri tried to answer but glowed showing Yudo is back quickly saying, "W-W-What he meant to say is that your really strong, I swear!"
She nodded before running to the Lancers. "So... how did Emily and I do?"
"Both done impressively well. It's no wonder how Yudo was able to be this well." Declan admitted to them both.
Emily smiled only to pause. "You guys are probably going to leave soon right?"
"Pretty soon. Duel Academy will find this place out, and we're needed to sop them." Yuya answered with a cross of his arms.
"Well before that..." they looked at Yudo who offered, "You wouldn't mind watching something important?"
"Oh yeah, you mentioned that." Lulu recalled.
They all walked back in his house before Yudo checked over the episode list, and smiled, "This was from before Jaden, and all of you. The original series, and one of my favorite episodes."
He sat down as the episode played where it shows Kaiba dueling against his business rival, Zigfried in a big match in a special match in the KC Grand Championship that ended with a triple attack from Blue-Eyes, one blasting the last protection on Zigfriend's Brunhilde, destroying Brunhilde, and attacking him directly.
"That... wow." Yuya whispered in shock.
"He kind of reminded me of you Declan." Amy admitted talking about Kaiba.
"Mrs. Logan..." Emily checked to Yudo who softly nodded before continuing, "told me, and Claire, this was the episode where Yudo squeezed Chip too hard. This is why he's missing an eye."
"Got a little too into the episode?" Shay inquired.
Yudo looked down blushing a little, "Well... I was pretty young at the time. But Chip's still hanging on." He hugged the mentioned stuffed Blue-Eyes close to him at this.
Amy smiled at that. "When this is over... can you show me the rest of the show?"
Yudo looked to his sister before smiling, "Sure Amy."
She smiled back.
"Leo... no, Yudo?" Claire asked him. "Could we go with you?"
He turned to Claire, and Emily at this, "Huh?"
"After everything you told us... shouldn't we help you guys?" Emily asked. "I mean, we might not be the best duelists but we are your friends and we want to help you out."
"Emily's right." Claire agreed.
"Are you both sure? This isn't a game." Yudo said concerned for them.
"We know that, but we want to help you Yudo." Emily told him. "You're our friend."
Yudo stared before he smiled to them, "Okay, you two can join us. We could use some help from home."
They nodded with a smile hearing that.
"Thanks again for this. You two always helped me out at times end." Yudo smiled to them before getting a thought, "Wait a second, what about him?"
"Him?" the two of them asked together.
"Sawatari." Yudo answered, "He took a bullet for me the day I disappeared. Nick had tried to use him to get the dragon he wanted."
"He's in the hospital Yudo." Claire told him. "I don't think he can go anywhere."
Yudo frowned, "Nick did said, he wouldn't walk again..."
"He might, but he's not able to now." Emily admitted.
"Well, he might want some time... I'll come visit when this war's done." Yudo promised.
"I think that's a good idea." Emily nodded. "So... are we ready to head to another Dimension?"
"Hold onto me." Yudo said to them.
They nodded holding onto him. At that the Lancers prepared before vanishing to a new Dimension.
bopdog111: Short but eventful.
Ulrich362: Claire and Emily have unofficially joined the Lancers and now they're off to another dimension.
bopdog111: And the Lancers got a glimpse of the series their from.
Ulrich362: Maybe they'll see more once the Dimensional War is over?
bopdog111: That's why Yudo, and Amy agreed on.
Ulrich362: Makes sense to me, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
