What. Is. Going on everyone? 3rd dragneel, coming at your from quarinitine to give you another awesome duel filled chapter of Yugioh 5ds Heroes! I hope everyone is doing well while staying home during this crisis and making sure you aren't getting sick. The way I keep myself from going insane is playing video games, watching my shows, doing schoolwork, and of course, writing stories. I know not all of you do this, but I hope you have something to keep you entertained, including this chapter.
As I keep saying, if you guys have a deck suggestion for someone or a chapter idea, let me know cause there is a lot of room for character driven chapters.
Onto the reviews!
Rider126: Thanks.
Leafeon12: Thank you!
ShadowFlameDragon03: That Jinzo episode was our first taste of the supernatural theme in GX, so it stuck with me too. But we will see a lot more crazy stuff happen in this story.
Zack: I'm more of a writer, not a boss. But thanks.
Shadowwolf1997: Dude, I don't hate Kaminari at all. Yeah, it may seem harsh regarding the Shark chapter, but I wrote just for comedy. Sorry if it felt like I was bashing him.
Pumadog95: I try my best to balance out everyone's personalities as I am a stickler for staying true to the source material. Those two decks would definitely work for those Koda and Kirishima.
Lawoi: You're a Yang Zing boi, too? That's awesome, man. I know I didn't have ChaoFeng show up in Izuku's duel, but that's because it wasn't one that I was hyped for. Don't worry, we're going to see a lot of Yang Zings in this story.
Guest: I get why Superheavies would fight Eijiro, but Tetsutetsu can also be a good candidate for it.
Guest number 2: I know of master rule 5 and while I am excited for it, I don't see a point with rebooting the story since I'm loving the direction it's going.
To recap: During a rather stormy night, strange things began to occur in Duel Academy, which forced Izuku and company to investigate. However, they soon encountered the duel spirit of the Zombie Master, who threatened to consume their very souls unless Izuku could defeat it in a duel. After an intense battle, Izuku was able to destroy Zombie Master's Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon with his Yazu and Baxia, allowing his friends to go free and the duel spirit to disappear.
What story will we focus on this chapter? Let's find out...
(Play Yugioh 5ds English opening)
The first scene shows Izuku entering the light while on a custom green Duel Runner. He drives along the streets with a determined frown.

Another shot shows Izuku racing Katsuki Bakugo in a large arena before flashing to Toshinori Yagi, who gives Izuku a serious expression.
(Going fast makes me feel alive.)
Izuku pushes the gas of his Duel Runner before boosting forward with Gravity Warrior and another monster flying behind him.

(Take a shot at me runnin' side by side.)
Shots of Ochaco Uraraka, Tenya Iida, Momo Yaoyorozu, Eri and Eijiro Kirishima appear in spotlights. Shota Aizawa, Nemuri Kayama, and Toshinori appear, each with a mark of what looks like a Dragon behind them in red.

(It's blowing me around.)
Izuku's eyes begin to glow green as he spins and throws five cards in the air, revealing them to be Heroic Champion Excalibur, Road Warrior, Gravity Warrior, Masked Hero Acid and Kuriboh.
(See the sun arising.)
Izuku puts on his helmet before he picks up a Fusion monster in his hands and slams it on his Duel Disk.

A blue portal appears next to him before Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman comes out, flying next to Izuku.
(Greatness thrusts itself into our lives.)
Battlin Boxer Lead Yoke, Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir, Buster Blader, and Speedroid Terrortop fly in the air before Stardust Spark Dragon appears next to Izuku as he drives in the streets with a smile.
Yugioh 5ds Heroes!
If there was one way to describe Eijiro Kirishima, it would be energetic. While he wasn't as crazy happy as his old friend Mina Ashido, he was an overall friendly individual, able to befriend most people with his manly view of life. Not only was he a fan of Duel Monsters, but he also loved wrestling, boxing. Basically, anything that showed off true strength.
However, like most people, he had a major weakness when it came to schoolwork.
"Alright class, I have your quizes from last week." One of the many mathematical teachers of Duel Academy called out from the front of the class, holding a large stack of papers in his hand. "Overall, you all did well, though there were a few of you that did make mistakes. But remember, every step back is an opportunity to get better." Despite his kind words, some of the students were more than a little concerned about their grades, considering they were close to finishing the first half of the semester. "Please remain seated as I hand out your tests."
'Please let me pass. Please let me pass!' Kirishima mentally prayed as he saw the teacher begin to hand out tests to his fellow students. Some of them sported big smiles and high fived each other while an unlucky few gave looks of disappointment. He was sure he studied hard for geometry, but he also knew not to get his hopes up. 'Give me a C. Please for the love of god, GIVE ME A C!'
"Kirishima." The teacher called out, finally reaching the red haired student. Eijiro opened his eyes, looking at his teacher with hope filled eyes… only to lose it once he was given his test… FOLDED UP! "Come see me after class." And with that, the teacher continued to give out tests.
"Okay… maybe it's not that bad." Kirishima told himself as he opened the paper to see his results. Unfortunately, he wished he didn't as the results of his test were a seven out of twenty, which meant he failed.
"Oof, that's rough, Kirishima." One of the students said in sympathy, having gotten a much better grade.
"Man, I was sure I had number ten and eleven figured out." Kirishima told himself in disappointment, dropping his head. So much for pulling an all nighter. Though, maybe it was kind of his fault for studying at the last minute after having a duel with Kaminari.
*RING*RING*
The bell rang to signify the end of the school day, much to the relief of some of the students. "Remember to do your assignments by next Tuesday. The midterms will be here before you know it." The teacher reminded his students, though they simply continued towards the exit. All except Kirishima, who walked up to the teacher. "Thank you for staying."
"Is this about my tests?" Kirishima asked rhetorically, to which his teacher nodded.
"Eijiro, I've talked to your other teachers and they say you've been doing well in dueling and history." The teacher said softly. "I know math isn't the easiest subject, which is why I wanted to tell you about a little tutoring program that we have. Principal Nezu wants to make sure that all the students are given individual attention." Eijiro didn't say anything at this. He just looked to the side, as if ashamed about something. Noticing this, the teacher sighed while giving him a white card, to which he took. "Just in case you want to join. Our next session is on Friday."
All Kirishima did was nod before he walked away, taking in the offer given to him.
Though at the moment, he was hesitant.
'Student Lounge'
"Keep your eyes on the ball." Mezo Shoji said calmly as he showed his audience, which consisted of Mina Ashido, Toru Hagakure, Ochaco Uraraka and Shoto Todoroki, who was in the middle of the group a red ball. Placing it on the table, he then took out three blue plastic cups, setting them down in a row while hiding the ball. Cracking his neck a bit, Shoji then proceeded to shuffle the cups in a rather impressive pace, not slowing down in the slightest. The girls were watching in anticipation while Shoto stayed calm, watching each cup with a critical eye. After a good minute of shuffling, Shoji stopped, gesturing the red and white haired teen to choose.
"I think it's the right one." Toru said to Mina, who shook her head.
"No way. The ball's on the left… I think." Mina said in an unsure tone. To be fair, it was difficult to keep track of where it was.
"What do you think, Todoroki?" Ochaco asked the male teen, who didn't say anything as he reached out and grabbed the left cup, pulling it up. The girls all gasped in shock while Shoji merely nodded.
The cup his chose… was the exact one the ball was hidden in.
"Daaaaaaammmmmnnnnn, Todoroki! How'd you know that was the right cup?" Mina couldn't help but ask in amazement.
"I paid attention." Was all the Shoto said with a mild shrug. It wasn't even that hard to pay attention if you had the right focus.
"Still, that was amazing! Do it again!" Toru urged while grabbing his shoulders and shaking him a bit, which didn't get a reaction at all. It was a calm time for the students of Duel Academy as yet another day of studying had concluded. The student lounge was the best place for students to come and relax, hence why some of Class 1-A were currently there. The doors to the student lounge opened up, revealing a rather disheartened Eijiro Kirishima.
"Hey." Kirishima said a flat tone, which caught everyone's attention.
"You okay, Kirishima?" Toru asked the redhead with a hint of confusion. He wasn't one to be depressed easily. He didn't say anything as he walked up to the group and showed them the test he was given back. "Oh."
"Did you study?" Shoto asked bluntly as Eijiro sat down, a tired sigh escaping his lips.
"Of course I did. But I guess it wasn't enough." Kirishima said in slight frustration.
"You know there's a tutoring program, right?" Shoji said like it was the most obvious thing in the world, which made Kirishima scoff a bit.
"Why does everyone keep thinking I need help? All I need to do is study harder, that's it. I don't need some tutoring group to help me." Kirishima said in a bit of anger, which got looks of concern from his classmates. However, unlike her classmates, Mina was looking at Kirishima with a deep frown. Before anyone could say anything, she reached out and grabbed him by the arm.
"Let's talk." Mina said in a tone that held no argument as she forced him to stand up, pulling him away from the others, much to their confusion.
"So… does anyone know what THAT was about?" Ochaco asked the other three, who shook their heads.
"Okay, okay! I can walk, ya know?" Kirishima said as Mina continued to drag him until they were outside of the student lounge. Once she saw that they were alone, she released Eijiro, who rubbed his arm. "Jeez, after all these years, you're still freaking strong."
"Eiji, what was all that about?" Mina suddenly said with a scolding tone, her black and yellow eyes narrowing towards him.
"Like I said, I don't need everyone to help me." Kirishima countered, only for Mina to punch his arm. "Hey!"
"This always happens when you struggle in school. It happened in Middle School, and now it's happening here. But whenever someone tries to help, you try to brush it off like it's nothing and end up barely passing." Mina then softened her expression as she put a hand on his shoulder. "Please Eiji, just let us help you." Even after the years they knew each other, Eijiro knew he couldn't necessarily say no to Mina, especially when she decided to use the nickname she made for him. Truth is he WANTED to ask for help, but he just had too much pride to do so, hence why he would turn down help. Seeing the expression on his face, Mina decided to do the one thing she knew would get Eijiro's attention. "Okay, I have a deal for you."
"A deal?" Eijiro asked in curiosity, making Mina smirk as she put her hands on her hips.
"We have a duel. If I win, then you have to join that tutoring group. But if you win, then I'll stop bothering you about joining them. Sounds good?" Mina asked him curiosity before she tilted her head a bit. "Unless you're not MANLY enough."
"What?" Eijiro asked as his brow twitched a bit. If there was another thing that Eijiro Kirishima didn't like than bullies and math tests, it was being called a wimp. Especially since it reminded him a lot of how he was in the past, and he was VERY disappointed about the wuss he was. Plus, he did love dueling, as shown by his grades in Mr Aizawa and Yagi's class.
So with a smirk, Eijiro gave her a determined nod.
"Alright. Let's duel right now!" Eijiro said while bringing his clenched fist up with fire in his eyes.
"... Not now. Me and the girls were going to binge watch 'Duel Queens of Japan.'" Mina said innocently with a smile, causing Eijiro to face fault to the ground. "But we can duel tomorrow, kay?" As much as the red haired duelist wanted to retort, especially with the small taunt Mina made towards him, he was also patient(to a degree).
"Fine. Three o' clock, dueling room D. Is that good?" Eijiro asked, only for Mina to turn away with a sheepish expression.
"I promised Toru and Momo I would go shopping with them tomorrow." Mina said, getting Kirishima to deflate in defeat. However, he raised his head as Mina chuckled. "Kidding! It's a deal."
Honestly, he should've expected her to tease him like that. But regardless, he was grateful.
'Dueling Room D, the next day'
The Dueling Room. A series of large rooms that are designed specifically for the students of Duel Academy to hone their dueling skills. Sometimes the teachers would have their student duel during class lessons, and the rest of the time, students are allowed to rent a room with their campus ID.
It was here that Eijiro Kirishima and Mina Ashido were going to have their duel, more specifically, in Dueling Room D.
"Ready to throw down, Eiji?" Mina asked her old friend as she walked towards one end of the room while Eijiro walked to the other side.
"More than anything, Mina." Eijiro spoke back with a toothy grin on his face. "It's been a while since we've actually dueled, so I'm fired up." Both friends stared at each other for a moment before taking out their duel disks, with Eijiro's being red and Mina's being dark purple. Attaching them to their arms, the two students activated their duel disks, the humming energy blades glowing brightly before they drew five cards.
"LET'S DO THIS!"
Eijiro/Mina: 8000LP
"Ladies first~" Mina said in a singing tone before she drew her sixth card, examining it. "First, I'll summon Alien Shocktrooper in attack mode!" The ground split open as a large green alien warrior with grey armor parts on it, red eyes, four large teal gems on its chest, four legs and a large sword on its right arm.
Alien Shocktrooper LV 4. Att: 1900/Def: 800
"I place one card facedown and end my turn. Let's see what you've got, Eiji!" Mina said as a facedown card appeared behind Shcoktrooper.
'Damn, the first turn and she already summoned a strong monster.' Kirishima thought with narrowed eyes as he looked at her only monster. Its attack points were no joke, but he also had to look out for her facedown. "Alright, my move!" He drew his next card before letting out a smile. "Nice. I summon Dinowrestler Capoeiraptor in attack mode!" A spotlight suddenly appeared on the field, on top of a lone figure, clad in a black cloak. Noticing the attention they were given, the figure grabbed their cloak and threw it off their body. Eijiro's monster was a bipedal dinosaur-like monster with light purple skin, bandaged arms, an open blue vest, green torn shorts and a small tuft of yellow hair on its head.
Dinowrestler Capoeiraptor: LV 4. Att: 1800/Def: 0
"Nice monster, but it's not strong enough to take down my alien." Mina said confidently, though Eijiro didn't seem phased.
"Maybe not now, but that'll change after this!" Eijiro called out before inserting a spell card in his field spell card zone.
*Rumble*
The field began to shake a bit, catching Mina off guard. Soon, a large red circular fence sprouted out of the ground, surrounding them as a forest appeared outside. A large yellow mat with the initials DW appeared underneath them and their monsters. "You still have this card?"
"Of course. Remember what World Dino Wrestling does? If not, let me tell you." Eijiro said with a smirk. "Since this spell's on the field, both of use can only fight with one monster each turn. Not only that, but when a Dinowrestler fights one of your monsters, it gets 200 more attack points. Let's show them, Capoeiraptor!" Said monster perked up before launching itself forward at high speed, catching Shocktrooper and Mina off guard.
Capoeiraptor: Att: 1800-2000
Leaping in the air, Capoeiraptor drop kicked Shocktrooper with enough force to send it flying towards the ropes, pulling back and being sent flying back towards Eijiro's monster. Speaking of his monster, Capoeiraptor extended its left arm before slamming it against Shocktrooper's neck, causing it to spin in the air before exploding, forcing Mina to cross her arms to shield herself against the wind.
Mina: 8000-7900
"I play my trap, Alien Brain!" Mina called out as her trap card rose, showing an image of a tiny alien with red eyes inside of a glass container. A small metal sphere shot out of Mina's card before attaching onto Eijiro's monster. It opened up to turn into a small satellite, sending out a small signal that cause Capoeiraptor to go numb.
"Hey, what happened to my monster?!" Eijiro asked before he noticed Capoeiraptor slowly marching towards Mina's side. "Where are you going?!"
"That's the power of Alien Brain." Mina said in a slightly smug tone as Capoeiraptor eventually reached her side, kneeling down to defense mode. "Because a reptile monster was destroyed by your monster, this trap lets me take control of Capoeiraptor and it turns into a reptile for the rest of the duel. So thanks for the present!"
"Damn, I should've known you'd pull a trick like that. It's a good thing Capoeiraptor switches to defense mode after battle." Eijiro said in slight frustration before he grabbed two card and placed them on the field. "I end my turn with two facedowns."
"Back to me!" Mina said before she drew her card, only to smile wider. "First, I'll put this card facedown in defense mode." A card appeared facedown sideways next to Capoeiraptor. "Then, I'll play the spell Abduction!" Behind Capoeiraptor appeared a spell card with an image of a boy being beamed up by an alien ship. "Thanks to this little spell, I get to sacrifice one reptile monster on my field to summon an Alien monster from my deck. But it has to be weaker than the monster I'm ditching. So say sayonara to Capoeiraptor…" The Dinowrestler monster began to glow as a card ejected out of Mina's deck, allowing her to grab and place it on her duel disk. "And say hello to Alien Skull!" The light then shattered, revealing a white alien with several green gems on its body, long sharp yellow claws and a skull-like head.
Alien Skull: LV: 4. Att: 1600/Def: 1800
"And since you don't have any monsters, Alien Skull can attack you directly!" The wind attribute monster roared in anger before it leaped high in the air, disappearing out of sight. Eijiro widened his eyes in shock, but before he could do anything, Alien Skull reappeared behind him and clawed his back, causing him to fall on one knee.
Eijiro: 8000-6400
"Sorry Eiji, but sometimes, you have to give some tough love." Mina joked around, only for Eijiro to smirk.
"Yeah, I get that. And I should thank you, because you helped me play this! Go, Dino Injury!" Eijiro called out as his facedown rose, revealing an image of Dinowrestler Pankratops trying to walk while being covered in bandages. "Since I took damage with a Dinowrestler in my graveyard, I can remove it from the game to summon another Dinowrestler from my deck!" Capoeiraptor was ejected out of the graveyard before his duelist pocketed him. Eijiro's deck then began to auto shuffle before the top card of his deck ejected out, allowing him to grab it before summoning it to the field. "Say hello the the heavy hitter, Dinowrestler Eskrimamenchi!" Another spotlight appeared on the field as a large figure jumped from the forest onto the field, causing it to shake a bit. The newcomer was a large brown bipedal brontosaurus, dressed in native clothing and bone drumsticks. It banged on its own stomach like a drum before getting in a fighting stance.
Dinowrestler Eskrimamenchi: LV 6. Att: 2200/Def: 0
Mina hummed a bit in thought before she put another card facedown. "I end my turn."
"Here we go!" Eijiro grabbed his next card, drawing it. Unbeknownst to the two, the doors to the dueling room opened up, revealing some of Class 1-A entering.
"Look, they started already!" Toru called out, her voice being heard by the duelists.
"You guys! What are you doing here?" Kirishima asked in clear surprise before he turned back to Mina, who grinned innocently. "You didn't."
"What? Is it that bad to have an audience?" Mina said dramatically, getting a sweatdrop from her friend. "Plus, they were bored."
"Good luck, you two." Rio called out with a smile.
"Show her how tough you are, Kirishima!" Sato added with a clenched fist. Some of the others began cheering for Mina and Eijiro, which caused them to smile.
"Well, can't disappoint them now." Eijiro said with an amused head shake before he gave Mina a determined look. "I'm summoning out a caped wonder. A monster who likes to show off his jumping skills. Come out, Dinowrestler Coelasilat!" Yet another spotlight appeared on the field, this time being focused on Eijiro, as well as a mysterious figure standing behind him. It was yet another bipedal dinosaur, this one being a light green raptor wearing an orange scarf, an open red coat, arm gauntlets, a brown belt and blue pants.
Dinowrestler Coelasilat: LV 2. Att: 100/Def: 800
"That monster is a tuner." Shoto commented to no one in particular, already seeing what Eijiro was about to do.
"Alright boys, it's time to work together. I tune level two Coelasilat with level six Eskrimamenchi!" Coelasilat leaped high in the air, turning into two large green rings. Seeing this, Eskrimamenchi ran towards the ropes of the ring, pulling itself back before launching itself towards the rings, causing it to transform into six white stars. "Here comes a big guy who knows how to cut down the competition." Eijiro widened his eyes as he raised his arm in the air. "I Synchro summon… Dinowrestler Giga Spinosavate!" The rings suddenly erupted into a bright green pillar, followed by the sound of a beastly roar. Emerging from the light was a massive spinosaurus, clad in white, purple and yellow skin, along with dark blue pants, long lavender horns and yellow eyes.
Dinowrestler Giga Spinosavate: LV 8. Att: 3000/Def: 0
The new Synchro monster growled in anticipation, glaring at Mina's Alien Skull monster. "Woah, check out that Synchro! Looks like Kirishima might have a chance." Syrus said in amazement.
"And with the ability his Spinosavate has, Ashido's about to take a lot of damage." Izuku added while taking out his notepad to take notes.
"I'll play Dinwrestler Giga Spinosavate's ability!" Eijiro called out while extending his arm towards Mina's Alien Skull. "Quake Stomp!" The Synchro monster growled heavily before it leaped high in the air, stomping on it with all its strength. The ground underneath Alien Skull split open, causing it to fall inside, exploding into digital pieces.
"Skull!" Mina cried out in horror.
"Sorry, but thanks to Spinosavate's ability, I can destroy one of your monsters per turn. And with just one facedown monster…" Eijiro extended his right arm towards his friend. "You won't have much to protect you! Spino Rollout!" With a mighty roar, Spinosavate began to charge towards Mina before curling up in a ball.
"I play my trap!" Mina called out, only for her facedown to stay down. "Hey, what gives?!"
"Because my monster's fighting, you can't play any of your spells or traps! And just to add more power, I'll play this!" Eijiro shouted as his only facedown rose, revealing an image of Alien Shocktrooper rushing in for an attack. "Strike Slash not only gives my Dinowrester 700 more points, but if it attacks a monster in defense mode, you take piercing damage! And don't forget that since a Dinowrestler is attacking your monster, it gets even stronger!"
Dinowrestler Spinosavate: Att: 3000-3700-3900
Mina gasped as Eijiro's Synchro monster ran over her facedown monster, causing it to flip over and reveal a skinny, squid-like alien with big red eyes.
Alien Grey: LV 2. Att: 300/Def: 800
It let out a scream of pain before exploding, causing Mina to fall on her face from the aftershock. Unbeknownst to Eijiro, a small pink blob appeared on his Synchro monster.
Mina: 7900-4800
"Ouch, Mina took a lot of damage." Ochaco said with concern. If she wasn't careful, Mina would lose this duel in a few turns.
"I end my turn with a card facedown!" Eijiro said as he put one of his remaining two cards on the field. He was feeling great about this duel. Not only was he getting the best of Mina, he was having a blast with her, especially with all his friends watching.
"Hehehehe…" Mina suddenly started chuckling, much to the surprise of Kirishima and the others. She pushed herself up, dusting her pants off before giving her friend a smirk. "Now that's the Eiji I know!"
"Eiji?" The class asked in unison before turning towards Eijiro, who blushed a bit in embarrassment.
"Geez, thanks Mina." Eijiro told the pink skinned girl with a blank face, though she merely shrugged at his look.
"Anyways, this is what a duel should be about." Mina started as she drew her card. "But now, it's time for me and my aliens to get serious! First, I play a little spell called Pot of Greed." A large green pot with a creepy grin and blue marks appeared in front of her. "With this, I get to draw two cards." Drawing her cards, Mina's eyes sparkled a bit in inspiration.
'That's not good.' Eijiro thought with a small bead of sweat running down his head.
"Sweet! Now the show can go on. But first, you feel that?" Mina asked while taking a card and inserting it in her duel disk. Almost instantly, a large gust of wind began to pick up, much to everyone's surprise.
"Is she using Heavy Storm or something?!" Syrus shouted while covering his arms. Almost instantly, Eijiro's facedowns was completely destroyed, much to his horror.
"My Mystical Space Typhoon shocked you, huh?" Mina asked rhetorically while smirking even more. "Thanks to this handy spell, I was able to take down your facedown card. If you thought you could use it to stop my monsters, then think again!
'Damn! There goes Mirror Force.' Eijiro thought while biting his lower lip.
"Smart. And with Kirishima's facedown blown away, she will be able to attack without any concern." Shoji commented wisely with a nod. The rest of the students all watched in anticipation as to what Mina's next move will be.
"Next, I summon the tuner monster, Alien Ammonite in attack mode!" In a flash of light, a floating light blue snail-like monster with multiple tentacles and sharp teeth appeared in front of Mina.
Alien Ammonite: LV: 1. Att: 500/Def: 200
"Since I summoned this little guy, I get to play its special ability. Now, I can summon back an Alien monster from my graveyard!" Mina declared as a dark portal appeared next to Alien Ammonite, allowing Alien Shocktrooper to return to the field. "But why stop there? Since I normal summoned an Alien monster, I can to bring this little guy on the field. Come out and play, Alien Dog!" A card in Mina's hand began to glow before she slammed it on her duel disk. Appearing next to Alien Ammonite was a purple and grey dog-like alien with green eyes and a bone in its mouth.
Alien Dog: LV 3. Att: 1500/Def: 1000
"You know, I like dogs and all. But I wouldn't want to pet that one." Rio said with a shiver running down her spine.
"And this dog's got some bark, because when he's special summoned, I get to give one of your monsters two A Counters!" Mina shouted as Alien Dog hurled out two pink blobs, hitting Spinosavate.
"Ewww." Was the collective response of most of the other students before they noticed the blobs moving, latching onto Eijiro's monster like a leech.
"A Counters… OH CRAP!" Eijiro yelled out with wide eyes. Given how many times he and Mina had dueled in the past, he knew how her deck functioned.
"Glad you remember, Eiji~" Mina said with a wink as she grabbed one of her last three cards and placed it on her duel disk. "I play another spell called Alien Rearm!" A spell card with an image of Alien Shocktrooper grabbing several blasters from the wall. "For every Alien card on my field, your monster loses 300 attack points, and I get to draw that many cards!"
"Since Ashido has three Alien monsters, she can lower the attack of Kirishima's monster by 900, and draw three cards. I wonder what she'll do with those Counters." Izuku whispered to himself while focusing on the duel intensely.
Dinowrestler Spinosavate: Att: 3000-2100
Mina drew three additional cards, which made her smile even more 'Perfect!' "I get rid of the two A Counters on your Spinosavate!"
"But why would she do that? Isn't it good to have them around?" Toru asked in utter confusion.
"Since I got rid of them, I get to summon this bad boy without a sacrifice! Say hello to Alien Overlord!" Mina shouted as she slammed a card onto her duel disk, causing a red light to emerge onto the field. A red, skinny arm shot out of the ground, followed by five others before a large dark purple alien with red veins and a gun-like chest on its chest appeared, roaring in the air.
Alien Overlord: LV 6. Att: 2200/Def: 1600
"And thanks to his ability, I can put ANOTHER A Counter on your Spinosavate!" Alien Overlord spat out another pink blob from its mouth, sending it towards Eijiro's monster, infecting it yet again. "Then, I'll give Shocktrooper a little tune up with Ammonite!" The tuner monster flew in the air before turning into a single green ring, surrounding Shocktrooper as it turned into four white stars. Mina closed her eyes as she began to chant. "Cosmic commander of the aliens. Bringer of conquest. Come to the field and rid my enemy of his monsters." Eijiro gulped a bit at the way Mina was chanting, taking an unconscious step back. "I Synchro summon… Cosmic Fortress Gol'Gar!" The ring erupted in a bright pillar of light, followed by the sound of a monstrous roar. Slowly, a large shadow began to form onto Mina's field, catching everyone's attention.
"Of all the monsters you could bring out, you HAD to bring that one, huh?" Eijiro said with wide eyes as he and the others were given a much better view of Mina's new monster, and needless to say, they were horrified.
On her field was a hulking grey alien alien with tentacles hanging from its mouth, large humps on its back, four large dark purple appendages and glowing teal eyes.
Cosmic Fortress Gol'Gar: LV 5. Att: 2600/Def: 1800
"I wish we didn't have lunch earlier." Ochaco said while trying her best to hold back her vomit at the sight of Mina's Synchro monster.
"I play Gol'Gar's special ability! Once per turn, I get to return all your face up spell and trap cards back to your hand. And for each card that goes back, every other monster on the field gets one A Counter!" Mina shouted before she snapped her fingers. Gol'Gar's eyes began to glow before it fired several laser beams onto Dino World Wrestling, causing the whole area to shake before the spell returned to Eijiro's hand. The area soon returned to normal as Gol'Gar launched several more pink blobs, hitting every other monster on the field except itself. "And just to add a little more umph, I'm giving Alien Dog a new toy. Alien Blaster!" A large cannon appeared in front of Alien Dog, which caused it to run up to it. "Now Alien Overlord, attack Spinosavate!"
"Good luck with that! Thanks to Spinosavate's special ability, he can't be destroyed once per turn!" Eijiro called out, though Mina smiled a bit more.
"True, but you also forgot about Alien Overlord's special ability!" Mina called out as Alien Overlord roared in the air once again, causing the three A Counters on Eijiro's Synchro monster to suck away its power. "When an Alien monster fights a monster with A Counters on it, your monster loses 300 attack points for each one!" Everyone else gasped in shock as Alien Overlord opened its mouth, charging dark purple energy within it.
Dinowrestler Spinosavate: Att: 2100-1200
Alien Overlord fired a large breath attack towards Spinosavate, who braced itself for the attack. It struck the Synchro monster, though it was able to survive thanks to its special ability. However, the same couldn't be said for Eijiro, who was struck by the extra flames from Overlord's attack.
Eijiro: 6400-5400
"And now, Alien Dog. Go sike Spinosavate!" Mina ordered as Alien Dog used its bone to pull on the trigger for Alien Blaster. "Oh, and since an Alien monster with Alien Blaster is attacking a monster with an A Counter, it gets a thousand attack points!"
Alien Dog: Att: 1500-2500
Finally pressing the trigger, Alien Dog fired a large blue beam of energy with Alien Blaster. Because it already used its ability, Spinosavate was unable to save itself as it was engulfed in a large explosion, forcing Kirishima to cross his arms.
Eijiro: 5400-4100
"Now Kirishima's wide open!" Izuku and Syrus said in unison.
"Got that right, boys!" Mina said with a twinkle in her eyes before she raised her arm towards Gol'Gar. "Now my Cosmic Fortress can attack you directly! Go, Cosmic Bombardment!" Hearing the command, Gol'Gar opened its tentacle covered mouth before unleashing a beam of energy down, striking Eijiro with enough force to knock him off his feet.
Eijiro: 4100-1500
"I'll end my turn with that. Go ahead, Eiji. Make your move." Mina said in a confident tone, her smirk still on her face. The others turned back to Kirishima, who lied on his face without moving a muscle.
"Hahahaha…" Eijiro slowly began to chuckle as he slowly began to push himself up. "HahahaHAHAHAHA!" His small bout of chuckling turned to full blown laughter, causing everyone to look at him like he grew a second head. After he got back on his feet, Eijiro looked at Mina with a big grin. Even after all the punish Mina was dishing out on him, he was enjoying this duel way too much. "Nice move, Mina. But I'm not quitting yet."
"Good, I wouldn't want it any other way." Mina said as the two friends looked at one another with the same fire of determination.
"This is it. Kirishima can make or break this duel. Just thinking about it makes me shiver!" Toru squealed in excitement.
"I… DRAW!" Eijiro drew his next card with such force, the wind was pushed slightly. He was mentally praying that the card he had would help him win against Mina, or at least help stall for sometime. Opening one eye, he glanced at it before gasping. "Oh damn, I didn't think I'd ever draw this card!"
"Oh? And what is it?" Mina questioned with a raised brow, though she was cautious nonetheless.
"That'll have to wait." Eijiro said as he put the card in his hand before grabbing another one. "But first, I play the spell Dino World Wrestling!" Yet again, the area changed back to the large wrestling arena from before. "Then I summon Dinowrestler Capaptera in attack mode!" A spotlight appeared on top of the wrestling rope, revealing a bipedal black pterodactyl with an open orange vest, matching fingerless gloves, and a flame-designed mask over its face. The new monster jumped down from the ropes, landing in front of Eijiro before striking a pose.
Dinowrestler Capaptera: LV 3. Att: 1600/Def: 0
"And then, since you have more monsters on your field, I get to special summon this guy. Make way for Dinowrestler Pankaratops in attack mode!" The ground began to shake before it split right open, allowing a large figure to leap out of it. The new monster was a grey bipedal triceratops with green arm pads, purple shorts and a small green mask over their eyes. The new monster let out a battlecry before landing next to Capaptera.
Dinowrestler Pankratops: LV 7. Att: 2600/Def: 0
"Since you have more monsters than I do, I can play Capaptera's special ability!" Eijiro called out while pointing to said monster, who smirked. "Now, I get to take down one of your monsters before the fight can even start!" Everyone, especially Mina, gasped in shock as the level three monster rushed towards Mina's Alien Overlord, punching it right in the air. Leaping after the multi-armed alien, Capaptera wrapped its arms around Overlord before pulling itself and its opponent down to the ground with a powerful Piledriver. All Alien Overlord could do was moan in pain before exploding.
"Awesome! Now Kirishima won't have to worry about Overlord's special ability!" Syrus cheered with a big smile.
"Here comes the big guns." Eijiro started before he lifted one of his cards in the air. It was a spell card with an image of a red and blue dinosaur duo locking arms with one another. "I play the spell card Tyrant Dino Fusion!"
"Fusion?!" Mina gasped out in horror. She knew that Eijiro's Dinowrestlers were known for having two different summoning methods, but she never would have thought he would use both of them in this duel.
"Yup, and with it, I'm fusing Dinowrestlers Capaptrea and Pankratops together!" Both dinosaurs looked at each other before nodding and clapping their hands together, a large vortex behind them. Eijiro closed his eyes as he began the chant for one of his favorite monsters. "Dino of the air and dino of the ground, fuse together to bring a beast more savage than a meteor shower." Capaptrea and Pankratops then entered the vortex as Eijiro snapped his eyes open. "I fusion summon… Dinowrestler Tyranchampion!" A bright light emerged from the vortex, forcing some of those present to cover their eyes.
*RRRRROOOOOOAAAAARRRRR*
A mighty roar emerged from inside the vortex before the creature inside began to emerge. The newest monster in Eijiro's arsenal was a large white tyrannosaurus, dressed in crimson armor plates, a large golden belt with a belt buckle that said 'CHAMPION', and a crown on its head.
Dinowrestler Tyranchampion: LV 9. Att: 3100/Def: 2000
"And with Tyrannchampion here, I'm about to win this duel. Activate your special ability, pal!" Eijiro shouted as two cards ejected out of his graveyard slot. "See, every turn, I can banish up to two Dinowrestlers from my graveyard to return two monsters on your field back to your hand!"
"What?!" Mina exclaimed in shock as Tyranchampion unleashed a booming roar towards Gol'Gar and Alien Dog, pushing them back with enough force to send them back into Mina's hand, though the former was forced into the Extra Deck.
"That's not all. Tyranchampion has another nasty power." Eijiro said with a smirk as his graveyard slot began to glow. "See, if I use a level 6 or higher Dinowrestler to summon this guy, I get to choose one monster in my grave and equip it to Tyranchampion. And the monster I choose… IS SPINOSAVATE!" A portal opened on the field as Eijiro's Synchro monster reappeared on the field temporarily before it transformed into a belt, which Tyranchampion wore proudly. "And whenever Tyranchampion get equipped with a monster, it gets half of that monster's attack points!"
"So since his Tyranchampion has 3100 points and half of Spinosavate's attack points are 3000…" Ochaco started in thought.
"Then Kirishima's monster will have 4600 attack points." Shoto finished bluntly.
Dinowrestler Tyranchampion: Att: 3100-4600
"Just to make sure I win, I'll play Rush Recklessly!" Eijiro said as he used his last spell, which had an image of a red boat running ahead. "With this, Tyranchampion gets 700 more points!" The fusion monster roared in the sky even more, feeling the effects of the spell increasing its power.
Dinowrestler Tyranchampion: Att: 4600-5300
"Go, Tyranchampion! Crushing Charge!" Eijiro shouted with all his might as his monster began to rush towards Mina with determined eyes.
"Mina!" The girls all called out in shock while the guys watched in silence. Mina didn't say anything. She simply stood there, her hair shadowing her expression.
'Why isn't Ashido doing anything? If this attack connects, she'll lose… unless.' Izuku began to scan the area before he saw Mina's facedown, causing him to gasp. "Kirishima! It's a trap!"
"Too late~!" Mina said as she raised her head, a confident grin on her face. "I play my trap card… DIMENSION WALL!" Her facedown rose from the ground, revealing a card with an image of Warrior Dai Grepher's attack doing through a portal and emerging from behind it. "Thanks to this, instead of me taking the damage, YOU'LL be taking it!"
"ME?!" Eijiro shouted with wide eyes as a portal emerged between Mina and Tyranchampion.
"Sorry, but that's game!" Tyranchampion didn't stop its advance as it rushed right through the portal. Another portal appeared behind Eijiro, followed by his own monster's head as it got close to striking him. All he could do was turn around as he stared into Tyranchampion's eyes.
However, instead of being angry, Eijiro slowly began to smile. 'Nice move, Mina.' He thought before Tyranchampion struck him hard, sending him falling face first onto the ground.
Eijiro: 1500-0. Winner: Mina
*DING*DING*DING*
To add insult to injury, Eijiro's field spell rang some bells to signify Mina's win before it disappeared, along with Tyranchampion. Mina deactivated her duel disk as she began to walk towards Eijiro, who turned around as he looked at the ceiling. "Damn, I thought I had it." Eijiro said to himself as he stared at the light, only for Mina to get in view with her ever so bright smile.
"That was great, Eiji!" Mina said as she offered him a hand. "Gotta say, you had me sweating for a bit back there."
"Yeah, but you still kicked my ass with your Aliens." Eijiro admitted before he smiled and accepted her hand, allowing him to stand up.
*Clap*Clap*Clap*
The red haired duelist was surprised to see his classmates all clap with smiles on their faces, though Shoto merely stayed stoic, but joined them regardless. "See? Everyone came to see our duel. To come and support us. Is it really that bad to have every now and then?" Mina asked her friend while nudging him.
"Alright, alright. You had a point." Eijiro admitted while rubbing the back of his head.
"You know I was joking about the bet, right? You don't need to do it." Mina said as she frowned a bit. All she really wanted to do was duel her friend to help him chill out a bit.
"Nah. A deal's a deal." Eijiro said before he smirked at her. "Plus, it's not manly to walk out on a bet." This got Mina to stick out her tongue as she pushed him playfully.
"Dork."
"Thanks."
'Math center, the next day'
"You know you didn't need to walk me there. I told you I wasn't going to go back on my word."
"So? Can't a girl ask her friend to walk? Sheesh, Eiji. How rude."
Eijiro couldn't help but sigh a bit at Mina's words as he and her walked through the halls of the math center, the location of where all tutoring sessions would take place. But in all honesty, he was glad that Mina was with him. It soothed his nerves a bit and gave him the courage to keep going, even when his guts were telling him to turn back.
"Aaaannnddddd, here we are!" Mina spoke up as she and Eijiro stopped in front of room 202. Eijiro looked at the plake next to the door and saw that it said 'Math Tutoring room.' "Ready?"
"Yeah… Yeah." Eijiro said as he steeled himself up, grabbing the door handle and turning it open, allowing him and Mina to enter.
"Kirishima?" An all too familiar voice called out, making Eijiro widen his eyes. Inside the room was a large round table, with several other Duel Academy students. All seated with books and papers in front of them. However, what shocked the Dinowrestler duelist was the fact that his friend Denki Kaminari was there!
"Kaminari?!" Eijiro shouted in shock, only for the other students to 'shush' him. "Sorry."
"Dude, what are you doing here?" Denki asked in a whisper as he walked up to Eijiro and Mina. "Ashido, did you tell him to join us?"
"Wait, us?" Eijiro asked in confusion before he turned towards Mina, who smiled sheepishly.
"Ah, Ashido. Glad to see you made it." The teacher of the tutoring session said with a smile before she noticed Eijiro next to her. "Oh, you brought a friend."
"Yup! This is Kirishima. He needs help with geometry. Is it okay if he joins?" Mina asked the teacher, who only smiled.
"Of course. Take a seat, you two." With that, the teacher went to go help another student. Eijiro turned towards Mina with a surprised look, to which she winked at him.
"You're not the only one who needs help. Come on." Mina said as she grabbed Eijiro's arm and began to pull him towards the table, with Denki following suit.
Even with the surprise his friend gave him, Eijiro couldn't hold back his smile.
He was glad to ask for help, especially from a friend.
Okay, I'll admit something right now: I am an Eijiro x Mina shipper. Ever since season four, I have been getting so many vibes from them, especially when finding out they had history. I know that some people might not ship them and prefer Izuku x Mina(which I am a fan of too), but this is just my opinion.
Yes, this was a sort of filler chapter, but that's because I'm testing the waters in regards to the flow of this story. Plus, we have seen in other Yugioh series that they have some filler chapters to help with the overall arc, so you can't blame me. Plus, the school tournament arc I have planned is REALLY close by and that will help with the story, so bear with me.
So I'm not sure if any of you know, but my beta reader Earth Dragon Arnighte recently made a Black Clover/Yugioh crossover called Black Clover: Rise of the Monsters. I am helping him write it and I want his story to get some attention, so please go give him some support cause what we have planned is epic.
Now here are the original cards that were used in this chapter.
