Episode 1: Battle at the Moonlight
"Let's return." Yuro tells the crews.
"…Without him?" Luke murmurs.
Everyone silently agrees.
"Ohdo Yuga won't be able to return with the current stage of the Rush Robot. There's nothing we can do now." Yuran analyses.
"We can't keep up with the hyperspace caused by the Rush Robot." Yuka notes.
"Time to go home, swirl."
"Let's hold a seafood party tonight, tuna. Good job for protecting Dueling!"
Evening
Luke met Yuga's mom.
"I see."
"Don't worry, Ms. Ohdo. Yuga will surely return. Surely! Sureeeeely!" Gakuto informs the situation.
"It's alright. He will be back home."
"I'm sorry. I… I couldn't help Yuga. It was my fault." Luke tears up.
"Yuga is a passionate and kind person. He always wishes for the best of his friends, after all. No need to blame yourself, okay." Yuga's mom comforts Luke.
"But…"
"Alright, it's quite late now. Your sister will get angry if you don't come home soon, won't she?"
"She is right. Time to go home." Gakuto tells Luke to return home.
At Goha 6th
R6 rumbles.
"Mhmm. I see." Asana listens to R6.
"Such an act. Lord Yuga is willing to risk his life to protect the world of smiles…" Galient breaks down.
"If Rush Robot ceases to exist… That means Rush Duel is also gone."
"Other formats were also destroyed to protect Rush Robot, and now alternative formats couldn't be made anymore due to safety reasons."
"So Goha Duel is the norm now. Ahahaha, what an irony. (Sigh) R6 seems to be deeply sad about the loss of Yuga. Our hearts are torn into pieces."
"Coo-coo-rook-coo (It will be weird without Yuga around.)"
"Even if Yuga's not here, his actions and ideals won't fade away. From now on, us Mutsuba and Heavy Cavalry Club will continue walking towards the road of smiles. Yuga certainly wishes for everyone's success. Let's not dishonor him."
At Roa's apartment
"Yuga-chan…" Roa sips his tea while gazing at the moon.
(Door opening)
"Done with your bath, Romin?"
"Yeah. Your turn now."
"Thank you."
"It's sure nice having one in this luxury place."
"Ahahahahahaha…haiz. Tomorrow will be quite awkward, won't it?"
Romin grunts.
Goha's outskirt
A figure is riding an excavator near the hill.
"The moon is beautiful. Right, R6? Tomorrow, we will have some fun Duels together."
(Slight rumble)
"It would be better if Yuga is here to celebrate our victory. Well… sacrifices have to be made at that instance."
Asana is sad.
"Feeling down, Asacchi?"
"Come here this late, Harucchi? How's your brother?"
"He should tuck himself in his bed now."
"I see. Harucchi, do you want to Duel?"
"Right now? Any reason for it?"
"I just want to cheer up R6. He is a bit grumpy."
"Oh oh, a gentleman is feeling sad."
"A gentlewoman, too. Let's go!"
"I will show no mercy regardless of your feelings!"
DUEL!
"My turn. I Summon Horn Wan Yue and activate its effect." Tiger mills and adds Contacton. "I Set 2 cards. Turn ends."
"My turn. I Summon Shovelon, then send Snow-Capped to activate Hammer Crush. Terminate that card." Asana pointed at the middle Trap Card – Universal Destruction.
"(R6 rumbles) Destruction of 1 Trap Card, confirmed. Shovelong attacks Horn Wan Yue!" (Tiger:4000 3000 LP)
"Trap, activate! Trumpet to March! From my hand… The long, middle fingered older brother, standoffish with his pinky, adrenaline in his sprained finger. With a swelling breath, he proposes to the thumb princess! Come forth! Digisoon the Music Fiend!"
"A Trap Card that brings out a stronger monster. Not a bad tactic. I Set 1 card and end my turn."
"My turn." Tiger draws Fusion. "Heh. I Summon Contacton. Then…"
R6 rumbles.
"I return Snow-Capped to activate Buried Shield. Contacton is flipped down and Shovelon gains 500 ATK!"
"Face-down monsters cannot be used for Fusion. You got me there. Digisoon attacks Shovelon! Ensemble Slash of the Lucky-Fingered Divine Strike!" (Asana:4000 3600 LP)
"I Sets 2 cards and end my turn."
"My turn. Draw! It's here! Awaken! Along with the souls of the Heavy Cavalry mounts! Cry! Resound! O dragon of black steel! Maximum Summon! Erase the mountains, gouge out the earth, and spread the Heavy Cavalry path over the whole world! Come forth! Wyrm Excavator the Heavy Cavalry Draco!"
"This is Asacchi's Maximum!"
"Excavator's effect! Arcadia Quake. I destroy 1 of your Spell/Trap and draw 1 card." (Fusion was destroyed.)
"You chose the wrong card, Asacchi! And I have Requiem Sonata. I win!"
"Perhaps." Asana draws. "But I will end it this turn. Piercing!"
"A card that lets a monster inflict piercing damage!"
"Go, Excavator. Infinite Grand Crash!"
Excavator's bucket wheels land on the face-down Contacton. The difference between Excavator's ATK (3500) and Contacton's DEF (500) is 3000… (Tiger:3000 0 LP)
"That was a good fight, Asacchi."
"Thanks, Harucchi. Truthfully, that warmed up my spirit too."
"How is the gentleman now?"
R6 rumbles. Twice.
"R6 says he feels hyped up now. Dueling is fun!"
"Let's watch the moon for a bit, shall we?"
"Mhmm."
"The moon surely shines brightly, Harucchi."
"The moon truly unveils its beauty today, Asacchi."
They hold hands.
"Harucchi, what do you think about me hosting a Duel Tournament soon?"
"It sounds great. We are about to graduate from elementary school, so it would be a nice send-off."
"The best way to smile is through Dueling. It would be depressing if we abandon our smiles forever because of Yuga."
"Good thinking, Asacchi."
"Then let's do it, Harucchi."
"So that's my plan for the graduation day." Asana contacts Gakuto.
"I understand."
"This is an important event. Don't fumble."
"It's our responsibility to ignite everyone's Dueling spirit after the devastating fight. By the way, shouldn't you be sleeping right now?"
"How about you, then?"
"Well… It's hard to rest."
"How is Luke?"
"He… He blames himself because had he won, Yuga wouldn't have gone alone."
"Then let's cheer him up during the tournament."
"I agree. Goodnight, Asana-kun."
"You too, Gakuto-kun."
