Italics inidcate thinking


Yuki's POV

"Boy this racing suit looks good on me, I hardly look a hundred." I laughed posing in the mirror in my skin tight green and purple racing suit.

"It's not like you have much to show off." Cleopatra teased.

"HEY!"

My duel against Yusei was going to be a turbo duel so I'd have to drive my Crawler ATV and race him.

I headed out of my dressing room and towards the main garage, passing by Akiza on the way.

"Hello." I smiled "You're quite skilled."

"Hmm…" she blinked.

"No reason to be afraid sweetie." I smiled "I think your powers are quite impressive. You're not alone, I have special powers too."

She gave me a look.

"I'll prove it, see." I held my ringed left hand up, all five glowing "Revelation!"

Akiza looked on blankly as I read her memories.

"Your name is Akiza Izinski but you've also gone by the name Aki Izayoi, The Witch and the Black Rose." I said seeming to catch her attention "You left you family and are a member of Arcadia Movement, a collective of supposed psychics and espers lead by a man named Sayer."

"So…your powers aren't that special, there are lost of people in Arcadia who can so things like that." She told me.

"You doubt the others." I cut her off "You think you might be the only one with any real abilities, the rest of them are just fakers, you doubt Sayer's true intentions, you trust him but a small part of you doubts that he's as well-meaning as he acts, you think he might be using you."

Now she seemed nervous about what I was saying.

"Don't worry I won't tell." I smiled "but don't be so nervous, trust your heart more and open it up to the people around you, you'll find real friends you can trust that way, I'm always around if you want someone to talk with, I've been around for a long time so I've got plenty of advice to give."

"…right." She blinked.

"Well I should go." I headed into the garage "Maybe I'll see you in the next round."

I hopped on my oversized four wheeler and jacked in my duel disk.

"Better hope I don't crash." I told Cleo.

"Why'd you give that girl all that advice?" she asked.

"I don't know?" I smiled "She just looked like she needed a person to talk to her, she's a sweet girl, but I could sense the insecurity in her heart, she's easily manipulated I just hope she watches her own back you know."

"You care a lot about younger girls." She laughed "It's kinda creepy."

"HEY!"

The floor rose up and I was allowed to drive out into the track and face down with Yusei.

"Good Luck." I revved the Engine "Cleo and I aren't gonna hold back."

"Right." He smirked.

The lights dimmed as the countdown started.

"GO!"

We both gunned it and started speeding around the turns, my ATV was slower on taking turns since it has four wheels but it was sturdy and not knocked around easily.

"I'll go first!" I took the first turn "I play Foolish Burial and send one card from my deck to the graveyard so I'm removing Dragunity Brandistock!"

I tossed a card.

"I then summon Dragunity Dux!"

A birdman with a mystic shaker appeared.

Dragunity Dux: LVL 4 ATK 1500 DEF 1000

"Like most Dragunity Winged Beasts he can equip a dragon type Dragunity from the graveyard." I said "So Brandistock gets equipped. Oh and Dux gains 200 ATK for each face up Dragunity on my field, so in this case 400.

Dux 1500 ATK to 1900 ATK

"Next I play Cards of Consonance which makes me discard a dragon type Tuner with less than 1000 ATK to draw two cards." I said slotting the cards away and twisting the handle bars to turn "I play another Foolish Burial and lay facedown and end my turn."

I took another turn and let Yusei start. He drew a card and drifted around the turn.

"I summon Speed Warrior!" he played his first card, a robotic warrior that skated around the next turn with him.

Speed Warrior: LVL 3 ATK 900 DEF 400

"Speed Warrior's attack is doubled on the turn it gets summoned" Yusei explained.

Speed Warrior 900 ATK to 1800 ATK

"I trigger my trap Back to the Front which lets me special summon a monster in my graveyard into defense mode, I choose Dragunity Phalanx."

Dragunity Phalanx: LVL 3 ATK 500 DEF 1100

"Speed Warrior has more than enough attack to destroy that monster." Yusei said "Attack Dragunity Phalanx!"

"I activate the effect of a spell in my graveyard!" I said "By banishing Return of the Dragon Lords I can avoid the destruction of a Dragon Type monster!"

I saved Phalanx and Yusei let me go next.

"I'm Tuning Phalanx with Dux in order to Synchro Summon Dragunity Knight Vajrayana!" I yelled.

A large red serpent like dragon flew behind me with a knight riding on it's back.

Dragunity Knight Vajrayana: LVL 6 ATK 1900 DEF 1200

"Vajrayana has an effect!" I yelled.

"Let me guess you can equip a Dragon Type Dragunity from the graveyard?" Yusei smirked.

"You bet." I laughed "Brandistock is back on the board!"

"NYA!" the little blue dragon slotted right into the Spell Slot on my board.

"Now Vajrayana attacks Speed Warrior!"

"TSK!" Yusei straightened his Runner.

Yusei 4000 to 3100 LP

"Now Brandistock's effect activates, while equipped it allows that monster to attack twice each Battle Phase!" I yelled "Vajrayana attacks you directly!"

The Dragon Knight stabbed his spear into the ground and nearly made Yusei spin out.

Yusei 3100 to 1200 LP

"I end my turn." I said revving past him "You're up Yusei!"

"I summon Junk Synchron!" Yusei yelled "and use it's effect t revive Speed Warrior! Then I tune them and Summon Junk Warrior!"

Junk Warrior: LVL 5 ATK 2300 DEF 1300

"Junk Warrior attacks Dragunity Knight Vajrayana!" Yusei destroyed my monsters.

"Tsk." I hissed as my wheels buckled.

Yuki 4000 To 3600 LP

"We go!" Cleopatra glared as we drew a card "Dragunity Legionnaire!"

The knuckler bird knight appeared

"I equip Dragunity Phalanx to it from the Graveyard!" I said "Then I use Phalanx Effect to move him to the monster zone, now I tune them and summon this in attack mode!"

I slapped a card down.

The sky darkened and a light shined in the shadows as a huge black shadowy dragon covered in black fur like feathers appeared and a glowing Ankh symbol on it's chest.

"SAMSARA, DRAGON OF REBIRTH!" We both yelled.

Samsara Dragon of Rebirth: LVL 5 ATK 100 DEF 2600

"RAAAAAH!" the dragon roared.

"I end my turn." I smiled.

"I draw!" Yusei yelled "Junk Warrior attacks Samsara!"

"GAH!" I yelled as I took damage.

Yuki and Cleo 3600 to 1400 LP

"Samsara was destroyed by battle, so I can special summon a monster from my graveyard." I yelled "I choose Dragunity Knight Vajrayana!"

Yusei set a card and ended his turn.

"I draw." I told him

"This is a shitty hand." Cleopatra said "Without something we can't beat Yusei."

"Vajrayana isn't strong enough alone." I sighed "I think…we lose."

"Well…that sucks." She groaned.

I pulled into the side and turn the ride off.

"I surrender." I told them.


Later

"How could you just quit like that?" Leo yelled.

"I had no moves left." I said "I saw no point in prolonging it."

"Gotta cut your loses at some point kid." Cleopatra told him "Sides, I'm pretty sure even with our stronger Dragunity Knights, Yusei would have pulled it off."

"I still thought you did really well." Luna smiled.

"I'm glad we made you proud." I laughed patted her head.

"That was fun." Yusei walked up to me.

"Thanks, I'll get you next time though." I shook his hand "But in a normal duel instead of a turbo okay?"
