Chapter 1: Welcome to the academy
Nate Adams was wearing a wedding suit and was standing on a wedding altar. It was the happiest day of his life since he was finally going to marry the love of his life Katie Forester.
And there she was, wearing a beautiful wedding dress with her face hidden walking toward the altar.
"Mister Nate Adams, do you take Katie Forester as your wife until death separate the both of you?" The priest asked initiating the ceremony.
"I accept." The boy replied.
"And you Kaite forester, do you accept the hand of Nate Adams at the best and worst of times?"
Katie began to remove her veil. But rather than revealing her beautiful face…
"NATE! WAKE THE HELL UP!" A Katie with Whisper's face shouted out waking the teen from his dream.
"Whisper, what the hell!? I was having the best dream on my life but of course you have to wake me up on the best part." Nate angrily exclaimed at the ghost. Nate Adams is now 16 years old, so 5 years have passed since Soranaki's defeat thanks to the help of his children from the future and his life has been normal and dull by his standards.
"Well excuse me, but as your Yo-Kai butler it is my sole duty as your buttle to remind you about your responsabilities. After all, just because your dad is on a bussisness trip and your mother is shopping is no excuse to be slacking off." The yo-kai responded.
"Hey! Would you both calm Meow? I'm trying to sleep here." Said Jibanyan.
"That includes you Jibanyan!" Whisper scolded the cat by slapping him with a fan. "By the way Nate, some freaks with weird masks want a word with you." Whisper told his master before a knocking came from his room revealing a member of the Obelisk Force.
"GYAH! I-I didn't expect the Obelisk Force here!" Exclaimed the boy.
"Mr. Adams, you have been chosen as one of the lucky to assist Academia to become an elite Fusion user for the sake of our noble cause." The grunt told Nate.
"W-wait, what? Hold on, ME!?" Nate couldn't believe what the Obelisk told him. He was going to attend the most prestigious duel school in the world.
"Indeed. We have contacted your parents and they approved your admission to Academia." The Obelisk informed him.
Nate didn't know what to do. The only time he played duel monsters it was to impress Katie on middle school. But his skills and deck were average at best and his Extra Deck was full of those outdated Vanilla Fusion Monsters. "Y-You know what? I forgot where I put my Deck. Can you give me some time?"
"Fine, you'll have 5 minutes to prepare you stuff since there's a cruise waiting for you outside." The Obelisk told him before closing the door.
Nate didn't know what to do on this situation. He could summon Wazzat to eraze the soldier's memories, but they would send another Soldier for him.
"Hey Nate, any ideas who is that masked boy?" Whisper asked
"Urgh… He's a member of the Obelisk force. The most elite group of Fusion Summon Duelist trained by the academia. But why from all the duelist they chosen me?" Nate still haven't figure it out.
"Maybe a Yo-Kai. It was always been a yo-kai." Whisper responded.
"Special delivery for you Nate." Hiddabat appeared from the teen's closet.
"HOLY HINOZALL! IT'S A NEW YO-KAI WATCH MODEL!" Nate cried in excitement.
"Actually, is something that could help you on your journey at the Academia." Hidabbat told the boy.
When Nate opened the packaged, it revealed a singular duel disk and it was the newest model. "What!? The newest Kaiba Corp Duel disk model!? These things are worth like one billion yens and even more since Seto's disappearance and Academia buying Kaiba Corp."
"Well, what can you expect from the 2nd richest being in the world and richest yo-kai." Hiddabat chuckled. "And there's something more inside."
Nate noticed that in the deepest part of the package laid a sealed and fresh deck of cards including Extra Deck monsters.
"Wait Nate! Remember the first law of opening new cards." Whisper reminded his master about the first law of unsealing packs. When the Teen opened the pack, both smelled the freshly picked cards. The brunette boy looked about what the deck was about, it was mostly a Zombie Deck with Support Like Zombie Master, Mezuki, Gozuki, Pyramid Turtle, Book of Life, etc… But his expression change when he discovered that most of the monsters of his deck were none other than his Yo-Kai fiends. Jibanyan, Whisper, Happierre, Dismarelda, Venoct, etc… "Hey hiddabat, do you know who sent these cards?"
Hiddabat only told them that it was an anonym before closing the closet.
"Hey, maybe with that Deck, you could become a great duelist! After all, this world revolves strangely by card games." Whisper told Nate.
He thought it again and maybe going to the Academia wasn't a bad idea. So, he grabbed a backpack where he put his Medallium, Clothes, Personal Hygiene items, etc… He then putted his duel disk on his left arm and insert his new deck to finally venture to the Academia. "Okay, I'm ready!" He told the Soldier before opening the door and follow the Obelisk.
The hero was guided by Downtown springfield docks where a cruise full of new recruits was waiting for him. Not only that, but also all of his friends were there to say one last goodbye.
"Guys! You're all here!" Nate went to hug Eddie, Bear and Katie.
"Of course, that we are here! After all, all of Springdale knew about that you were about to go to Academia and we couldn't let you go without giving you something, Here." Eddie handed the brunette boy a copy of Infinite Inpermanence, but rather than having Cyber dragon infinite on the artwork, it was cyber end dragon.
"Woah! Do you know that this card is super reare? Just… Thanks Eddie." Nate thanked his friend for the gift.
"Well to be honest, I have like 5 copies of the card and I'm more into collecting rather than dueling." Eddie responed.
"Nate…" Bear approached the hero. "BWAAAAAAAHH! I'M GONNA MISS YOU SOOOOO MUCH BAHAHAHAHAH!" Bear cried a sea of tear while giving his friend a bear hug.
Katie then approached the brunnete boy to give him one last thing, a kiss. "Take care of whisper." Katie whispered to Nate while he was blushing like crazy.
"Alright, the ship's about to sail in 30 second! Everyone who's going to attend Academia get in now." A member of the Academia wearing a blue blazer announced everyone.
"Well, I have to go! I'll miss you all!" The teenager waved his last goodbye while getting on the ship while the others waved too.
The ship set sail to the Academia. Nate and Whisper then wonder what exiting adventures are waiting in the Duel Academy.
(Academia's docks/Academia/Fusion Dimension)
"Alright everyone, please exit the cruise and grab all your belongings. The Freshman ceremonial duels are about to begin." One of the personal announced leading a line of new Academia recruits.
"So Nate, about those cards of yours… How much am I worth for?" Whisper wanted to know about the price of his cards.
"Funny that you mention it whisper, when we were on the cruise, I checked out the cards on the internet and there wasn't any information about them. But considering that there are literally you and the other Yo-Kai, this is starting to creep me out. Maybe they're counterfeits." Nate already raise his suspicious.
"What are you talking about? They're 100% legit! They have the stamp, the texture and the smell." Whisper pointed out the smell of cards. But speaking of smells, he smelt something more… Like chocolate bars coming out of his packpack and someone munching inside of it. There can only be 1 individual who can do this. None other than…
"Jibanyan?" The teen and ghost gasped seeing their feline friend sneak upon the boy's backpack.
"Hi Nyate. What, you wouldn't believe that I could meows the fun right?" Jibanyan taunted the both.
"B-but how?" The boy asked himself.
"That's nyeasy. Me and Hiddabat snuck uo in nyour backpack and let me tell nyou. It's meowre bigger in the inside." Jibanyan told Nate while eating one of his trademark chocobars. All of the new recruits were looking at the boy with strange glares.
"Ehhh… Sorry, its just that I have imaginary friends!" Nate tried to explain the situation.
Everyone has finally been gathered in the Academia's coliseum. A woman came to the podium to prepare the ceremony. "Ladies and gentlemen. It's a pleasure to meet all the new students of the Academia that shall help our noble cause. My name is Ms. Fontaine and I want to present all of you the Legend himself, creator of the solid vision, principal of the Academia and current C.E.O. Of Kaiba Corp Leo Akaba!" Ms Fontaine announced out showing the Professor mounting one of his spirit techs monsters thanks to his solid vision technology making the whole colisseum cheer with joy excepting the new students.
"Greeting everyone. I am the Professor Leo Akaba. You see, here at the Academia will not only make you elite Fusion duelists, but also into great soldiers for our cause." Leo then proceed to show a projection showing the 4 dimensions. "Believe it or not, 4 dimensions exist with 3 of them being plunged into pure chaos. Our dimension is called the fusion dimension, the other 3 are called Standard, XYZ and Synchro. All of the 3 are governed by anarchy and chaos who try to destroy our dimension. Our goal is to capture those evil duelists and merge all of the dimensions into 1 peaceful utopia all thanks to the technology of Solid Vision and Kaiba Corp. For the new students, each one shall duel one of the Academia's staff each chosen randomly. About how you performed in the duel your rank shall be selected Obelisk blue being the highest. I hope to see the best out of you." Leo ended his speech making the colisseum cheer again.
"Dimensions? I have faced my fair share of weird stuff, but a school about this thing is just ridiculous." Nate sighted out.
Some time after, a board containing the order of the student's duel has been announced. And unfortunately for Nate…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'M THE FIRST ONE!" Nate shrieked in terror. Looks like the bad luck has chosen him for this day.
The brunette boy gloomily presented himself to the center of the dueling field.
Leo Akaba sat on a throne-like box seat that was really really luxury.
"So, this must be the new duelist." A 19-Year old/Early Twenties boy with brown hair wearing a black officer's jacket with a long red cape approached the professor. It was Jaden Yuki the Professor's right hand man and supreme commander of all the Academia's forces or also known by the members of the Academia as the Supreme King who is the 2nd strongest duelist of Academia with the professor being the 1st and Yuri being the 3rd.
"I know, but cannon fodder is cannon fodder. But my attention is drafted by the one known as Nate Adams. I saw that he possesses supernatural dons that we can use for our plans. Though, we need to see how he manages to go against Dr. Crowler." Leo told the commander. "But the question still is if he has the dueling skills to provide us victory."
"Just as you say Professor… Still even though Dr. Crowler is considered the best Ancient Gear duelist of the institute, he can be a big hothead whenever someone disrespects him making him lose concentration. Heh… to think that asshole tried to expel me on my first days on the Academia when it used to be called Duel Academy. Now he fears me like the peasant he is." Jaden just calmly sat alongside the professor.
"Hehe… It doesn't matter If he is a top duelist or not, he will just end up as another one of Leo's Lapdogs. Admit it that he only treats you and Serena like actual people, but I treat you with the respect you deserve." Yubel who is one of Jaden's duel spirits told him on a seductive manner.
"Knock it off Yubel. Fate still hasn't decided his destiny yet. And besides, I really don't care what happens to those bastards or the world since our life is just meaningless." Jaden pointed out his nihilistic tendencies.
"Alright, your opponent shall be the teacher of dueling logic Mr. Crowler." Fontaine pointed out at a coliseum gate showing a man with a look that you could mistake him for a woman who also wore a duel disc known as a dueling vest.
"How many times do I have to tell you all to call me Dr. Crowler and not Mr. Crowler! I haven't spent 4 years earning my PhD at dueling for nothing!" Crowler exclaimed furiously before retaining his cool. "Ehem… I am Dr. Vellian crowler and I shall be your opponent for this duel. So better do your best because I hate slackers!"
"Wait, there's a PhD on being good at card games?" The boy could still not compute the situation.
Fontaine prepare herself to hype the audience. "Then its settled! Let the first Duel begin!"
Both duelists cried out the war cry of every duelist.
DUEL!
Nate Adams LP: 4000 VS Dr. Velian Crowler LP: 4000
"As one of Academia's lead professors, I'll start." Crowler pointed out while viewed his hand. "I'll start my turn by playing Pot of Greed, a card that needs no introduction." Crowler played the iconic card Pot of greed allowing him to draw 2 cards from his Deck. "Before I summon any monster on my field, I shall first set 2 cards face-down." Crowler then set 2 cards on the field. "Now I shall show you why they call me Dr. Crowler! I activate the field Spell Geartown!" the teacher activated a spell making the dueling field morph into a mini-city of buildings after gears and machines. "But before I continue with my plays, I shall play this continuous spell, Ancient Gear Fortress!" Crowler activated another spell summoning a giant fortress shaped like gears stacked up with one another. "Even though you are a freshman, you shall not receive any kind of mercy from me! I activate Ancient Gear Catapult!" He then proceeds to summon a mechanical catapult. "I can activate this card if I don't control any monsters on the field. By destroying a face-up card on my backrow I can Special Summon an Ancient Gear Golem from my Deck ignoring its summoning conditions, and I choose Geartown as target! FIRE!" With his command, the catapult fired a Gear missile destroying the mechanical city covering everything in smoke.
"*Cough* *Cough* Oh right, solid vision." Nate remember how the catapult could make so much rubble.
"N-nyate…?" Jibanyan trembled by pointing a pair of red eyes of what it appears to be a giant.
"I summon the constructor of the lost civilization of machines and the legendary mechanical giant, Ancient Gear Engineer and my Ancient Gear Golem!" Crowler cried out revealing from the impact Ancient Gear Engineer (EARTH/Machine/LV:5/ATK: 1500/DEF: 1500) and the Legendary monster Ancient Gear Golem. (EARTH/Machine/LV:8/ATK: 3000/DEF: 3000) who both were in Attack Position.
"Incredible! He managed to summon one of his Ace monsters on his first turn!" Fontaine shouted out making the crowd go wild.
"Hey! Where the hell did you brought out the other monster!?" Nate shrieked at seeing the two mechanical beats.
"Ahahahaha! You silly boy. When Geartown is destroyed, it lets me Special Summon an Ancient Gear monster from my Deck." Crowler reminded Nate. And I still have my Normal Summon. I summon Ancient Gear Wyvern" Crowler then summoned a mechanical wyvern unto the field.
(EARTH/Machine/LV: 4/ATK: 1700/DEF:1200)
"And now I activate its effect! I can add 1 Ancient Gear card from my Deck to my hand and the card I chosen is Ancient Gear Box and due to being added by a Machine, it lets me add another Machine with 500 Attack or Defese to my hand. And the one I'm going to choose is one of my Ancient Gearframes." Crowler showed the kid the hound before putting it on his Deck. "This ends my turn. Let's see how you get out this one."
Nate just gulped first. "Alright, I draw" He drew a card from his deck. But for his bad luck, he didn't have anything to take care of those monsters. "Aw dammit! My hand is a bummer!
"Hey Nate, remember to check the effects of your opponent monsters." Whisper reminded his master. "And maybe you have a chance if you play this." The ghost pointed a continuous spell on Adams' hand.
"Alright, I start my turn by playing the Continuous Spell Card Crank-A-Kai!" Nate Sled the card making a Giant tree like the one on Mountain Wildwood appear along with the Stone Crank-A-Kai of that said tree. "Once per turn, by discarding a card from my hand: I can draw a card. And if it is a Zombie monster, I get to summon it. Otherwise that drawn card goes to the Graveyard." Nate explained the effect of the card while discarding Mezuki. But he still wasn't secure that he will draw the right monster. "Come on heart of the cards, let me topdeck!" He thought to himself hoping to draw the right card while the Crank-A-Kai cranked the lever spitting out a giant spherical capsule made of stone. And the heart of the cards responded making him draw…
"DID SOMEONE CALLED FOR SERGEANT BURLY!?" The Oni Yo-Kai from the Brave tribe popped up from the Capsule.
(LIGHT/Zombie/Tuner/LV: 3/ATK: 1000/DEF: 1000)
"Wow! Is it really you Burly!?" Nate asked his friend.
"Of course, it's me ya' maggot! Now for my effect! If I'm face-up on the field, all "Yo-Kai" monsters gain 500 attack and defense! Time to feel the burn!" Burly started to exercise raising his stats.
(SGT. Burly the Brave Yo-Kai/ATK and DEF: 1000 - 1500)
"Huh? Is it me or did you monster just explained its effect?" Crowler couldn't believe what he saw.
"Uhh… Well Solid Vison!" Nate tried to explain the situation without making him look like a weirdo.
"Hey Nate! Try to summon that card!" Whisper recommended his master about the only other Yo-Kai monster on his hand.
"Alright, as for my next Move I shall Normal Summon USApyon the Shady Yo-Kai!" Nate proceed his turn by summoning the Otter Yo-Kai with the yellow rabbit spacesuit who was seen relaxing with a coconut on his hand and with sunglasses.
"I swear Hailey if yo' summon me to be a tootin' evil wizard for yo' rolepla-WHERE IN TARNATION AM I!?" USApyon cried out seeing that he was transported from the Bermuda triangle a place for the Yo-Kai to go for vacation to the Academia's Colliseum.
(DARK/Zombie/LV:4/ATK: 1500/DEF: 0)
"Hi there USApyon…" Nate said hi to the space otter.
"Nate? What in tarnation is going on? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand…" USApyon wanted answers about why his vacations were interrupted, but then got scared to death by the appearance of Ancient Gear Golem alone.
"You were on a vacation? Wow… n-never thought that these cards could actually summon the real Yo-Kai" Nate thought that the monsters summoned wouldn't be the real deal. But then again, this could be a plothole of course.
"Alright! We have more recruits for Burly's Bootcamps! Come on you chunky chicken nugget! Time to exercise! 1, 2, 3, PO!" Burly started to inspirit USApyon forcing the poor otter to exercise raising his stats.
"Oh please by the love of Hinozall no! Please! Make it STOOOOOOOOOOOP!" USApyon was begging for mercy
(USApyon the Shady Yo-Kai/ATK: 1500 - 2000/DEF: 0 - 500)
As for the professor, he was astonished how can Nate's Yo-Kai could interact with the duelist and its surroundings. Something that he tried to replicate on the Solid Vision was the ability to give Duel Monsters a soul just like what "Him" and Jaden do when they interact with the monsters.
"Alright. But before I enter the Battle Phase, I shall activate the Quick-Play Spell Anti-Magic Arrows! That means that you cannot activate Spells and Traps during this Battle Phase!" Nate exclaime while a barrage of arrows hit Crowler face-down cards.
"Oh, Bravo! You actually did a good play." Crowler acknowledged the boy's play. If he didn't activate that card, he would activate his Star Eating Trap Hole or Mirror Force.
"Well, it was all thanks to reading Dueling for dummies. Now I enter the Battle Phase." Nate announce his next move, but something was wrong with USApyon. He seems really, but really angry.
"Yo' disturbed my perfect day off for a children's card game I never wished to participate on, make me exercise to death and now forcin' me to battle a monster I cannot beat!? Why you!?" The Yo-Kai was going to start to throw another one of his destructive fits with the evidence of him pressing 2 buttons under his helment covering it with black smoke while 2 sinister red eyes popped up from USApyon. It was his infamous…
"VADER MODE!" A sinister voice came from the Otter with him bringing his ray gun shooting randomly while chasing Nate and Co. But of course, the loose laser beams would start to destroy a good chunk of the stadiums with students and even members of the Obelisk force getting up from their seats and running away so they can't get hit. Excepting the Box-Seat where Leo, Jaden and secretly Yuri one of the fragments of "him" who were protected by an invisible shield covering the Box-seat.
"Gah! AAAH!" Crowler was freaking out while dodging the lasers he looked like he was dancing. "Are you out of mind!? Are you trying to get all of US killed!?"
Nate even wasn't saved from as he, Whisper and Jibanyan were running away from the ape-shit Space Otter. "It's not my fault! M-maybe the card is broken or something!"
"Jibanyan! You always been the main fighter of the group! Well, right next to Venoct, Kyubi, Snartle, Enma, Zazel and Robonyan. But you're the only one here so stop running and fight!" Whisper ordered Jibanyan.
"Nyeah? And what do I get in return?" Jibanyan even when his afterlife was at risk, we tried to bargain with the Yo-Kai butler.
Whisper then brought out a singular card from his pocket. "Did I forgot to mention that I stored this card of Next HarMEOWny from you until you learn manners? Well to hell with the manners! Disarm USApyon and I shall give It to you!"
Jibanyan then gasped. "Is that the Secret Ultra Ghost Prismatic Foiled Rare edition of Fiona!? They only exist like 10 copies around the world!" The cat's mood change from coward to brave. "Don't worry Fiona, I'm coming for you! PAWS OF FURY!" Jibanyan started to do his signature Soultimate reflecting all the lazers and disarming the Merican Yo-Kai. But his Vader mode wasn't finished yet.
"I got USApyon!" Nate then grabbed the Otter around his arms while he was flailing in anger to get himself out!"
"Quick Nate! Trick USApyon into shooting that Engineer to activate it's effect!" Whisper told his master while handing him over the Merican Yo-Kai's laser gun.
Adams then proceed to aim Engineer as a target making USApyon quickly shoot a rapid fire flurry of laser beams against the Ancient Gear destroying it and making Crowler take recoil damage.
Dr. Crowler LP: 4000 - 3500
USApyon's laser gun started to glow indicating that his effect activates. "N-now for USApyon's effect! First, I-I have to tell you that my Yo-Kai monsters consist of teamwork! S-so when USApyon destroys a monster by battle while I control another Yo-Kai m-monster, I can destroy a-a card on the field! AND I CHOOSE ANCIENT GEAR GOLEM! Bunny Beam!" Nate ordered the Yo-Kai to attack the Golem with a giant laser bean fully destroying it.
"Phew… that all out it! But next time yo' summon me, yo' better call me to see if I'm able to." USApyon calmed down with his smoke clearing out.
Leo couldn't believe all the destruction a mere Yo-Kai monster could do! Now his attention was fully attracted.
"Amazing! Nate Adams managed to destroy 2 of Crowler's monsters!" Fontaine shouted out.
"My name, is, DOCTOR CROWLER!" Crowler was already getting all hot-headed.
"Well done Nate! You managed to destroy that pesky Ancient Gear Golem!" Whisper congratulated his master.
"Aw shucks Whsiper, you don't need to." The boy was really flattered by the ghost's comment. "I set 1 card face-down and then end my turn."
"Heh… For a rookie you sure have impressive cards. I draw!" Crowler drew his next card. "And look at that, I drew. I activate the Spell Card Ancient Gear Scrap Gathering! I get to draw cards up to the number of Ancient Gear monsters on my Graveyard! And this letting me draw 2 cards!" Crowler then drew 2 cards from his deck. "I first proceed to set 1 card face-down. Now I activate this! My Ancient Gear Hunting Hound! Who's a good pooch? You are, you are!" Crowler then summoned the Ancient Gear canine.
(EARTH/Machine/LV: 3/ATK: 1000/DEF: 1000)
"Now I activate one of her effect! And yes, this hound is a she! Since you control monsters this turn, I can inflict 600 points of damage to you! Go get him princess!" Crowler gave the order to its hunting hound making her burst a fireball from her mouth hitting our hero.
Nate Adams LP: 4000 - 3400
Luckily, he used Whisper as a shield to not receive any psychical damage even though everyone who can't see Yo-Kai can only see him just shielding himself with his arm.
"And now I activate Hunting Hound's second effect! Since I control and Ancient Gear monster on my field, I can Fusion Summon 1 Ancient Gear monster from my Extra Deck by using monsters on my field and hand! And I use my Box on my hand and Hunting hound!" The polymerization vortex appeared behind the teacher sucking inside Hunting Hound and Ancient Gear Box. "Mechanical Hound carrying an ancient spirit, fuse with the box full of artifact from a lost civilization ruled my machines!" Crowler started to say the summoning chant while the monsters started to fuse. "Ruthless machine crafted by the depths of the underworld, arise once more and show them why you're the machine of all machines! Fusion Summon! Come forth, Ancient Gear Howitzer!" Crowler summoned a giant demonic-like machine monster in defense. The mere Fusion Summon made the crowd go wild.
(EARTH/Machine/Fusion/LV: 8/ATK: 1000/DEF: 1800)
"And now I activate Howitzer's effect! Fire your cannons!" Crowler then ordered the machine to launch a cannonball at Nate making the teenager fall to the ground and also receive 1000 points of damage.
Nate Adams LP: 3400 - 2400
"ow! Jeez! 1000 points of damage?" Nate still couldn't believe that a card could deal so much effect damage.
"And now my Wyvern shall sink its fangs unto your… ehh… whatever it is that orange thing." Crowler tried to insult Burly, but he didn't know how.
"It's an Oni." Nate responded.
"Eugh… whatever. Ancient Gear Wyvern, attack with Rusty Maul!" Wyvern then bit severely Burly, but he didn't seem to be destroyed.
"Haha! Don't forget that I have another special ability that the first time I would be destroyed, I'm not, you maggot! And don't worry Nate. Even if I'm destroyed, I will just appear back where I was before being summoned!" Burly told Nate.
"I don't care what your monster says! You still take the damage!" Crowler reminded Nate as the teenager took 200 points of damage.
Nate Adams LP: 2400 - 2200
"And now I end my turn." Crowler then ended his turn.
"Alright, I draw." Nate drew his next card.
"Perfect! I activate the Spell Yo-Kai Watch! By discarding 1 Yo-Kai monster, I get to draw 2 cards!" Nate then discarded Dismarelda letting him draw 2 cards.
"And now I summon this little snake, Noko the Slippery Yo-Kai!" The hero then proceed to summon the Tsutsunoko in Attack position.
(EARTH/Zombie/LV: 3/ATK: 1000 - 1500/DEF: 0 - 500)
"And since I control a face-up Yo-Kai monster on the field, his effect activates! I can not only recover 500 Life Points, but I also can draw a card! Noko Smile!" Just after the Yo-Kai duelist gave the order, Noko gave a pleasant smile making him draw 1 more card.
Nate Adams LP: 2200 - 2700
"And now I activate the card Monster Reborn to bring back Dismarelda the Eerie Yo-Kai to my field!" Nate summon then one of her first Yo-Kai he has befriended with Cadin being the first.
(DARK/Zombe/LV: 4/ATK: 1700 - 2200/DEF: 100 - 600)
"Uhh… Do I really need to be here? It's just that me and my husband were relaxing on the Bermuda's Triangle, no filter…" The female pile of sludge muttered.
"Welcome to da' club…" USApyon responded.
"And now I activate one of her effects! When she's summoned, I can add Happierre the Heartful Yo-Kai to my hand!" Nate then added Dismarelda's cloud of happiness to my hand.
Suddenly, all of Dr. Crowler's monsters excepting Howitzer started to feel well, negative… "My precious Wyvern! What did you do?"
"It's Dismarelda's effect! Monsters you control lose 300 Attack and Defense points for every Yo-Kai I control including her! That means that they lose…" Nate made a brief pause to count the Yo-Kai monsters they control. "let me see, 4 times 300 equals… 1200! Your monsters lose 1200 Attack and Defense points!
(Ancient Gear Wyvern/ATK: 1700 - 500/DEF: 1200 - 0)
But Howitzer was the only one unaffected. "Ahahahahaha! Too bad for you that Howitzer is immune to all other card effects!" Crowler laughed at Nate's attempt.
"Heh, it doesn't matter! Cuz I activate my Crank-A-Kai Again! The Yo-Kai duelist then discarded Happierre from his hand materializing a coin that was inserted on the stone vending machine making it drop another Stone capsule while Nate drew his next card. "Alright! Now for everyone to see, I present you all the guardian angel of all the innocents living and spirit thing and one of my strongest Yo-Kai! Come on out Venoct the Slippery Yo-Kai!" Nate inserted the Yo-Kai's card inside the Duel Disk materializing him.
(DARK/Zombie/LV: 7/ATK: 2500 - 3000/DEF: 0 - 500)
(Ancient Gear Wyvern/ATK: 1700 - 200)
"It's good to see you again Nate!" The Yo-Kai with the snake scarf told his duelist.
"Me too Venoct! Now his effect! Since I control other 3 other Yo-Kai monsters, I can Special Summon a Non-Effect Fusion monster from my extra deck, but it cannot attack the turn it was summoned!" While Nate explained the effect, Venoct didn't do nothing.
"You fool! All your monster spaces are full! I cannot activate my effect!" Venoct scolded the teenager.
"Oh crap…" Nate was feeling stupid right now. "Whathever. Battle! Dismarelda, attack Ancient Gear Howitzer! Dismartillery!" Nate ordered his monster to attack with a breath full of lethal toxines.
"Wait Nate, don't attack Howitzewr!" Whisper tried to stop the attack, but it was too late.
"You Slacking fool! When Howitzer gets destroyed, I can Special Summon an Ancient Gear monster from my Deck ignoring its summoning conditions! So I summon another copy of Ancient Gear Golem!" Another Golem was summoned in Defense position to take the Howitzer's place.
(EARTH/Machine/LV:8/ATK: 3000 - 1500/DEF: 3000 - 1500)
"Nyah Crap! Not that thing again!" Jibanyan was trembling in fear by just seeing the other golem.
"It doesn't matter! Venoct, attack Wyvern with Octo Snake Barrage!" Just when Venoct was about to use his soultimate...
"Not going to work! I activate the Trap Card Mirror Force!" The teacher revealed his face-down card.
"Not today! Cuz I activate my Counter Trap Card Emna's Judgement!" Nate responded making a Symbol of the Enma tribe appear above him. "If my opponent activates a spell, trap, monster effect or tries to special summon a monster while I control a Yo-Kai monster, I can negate the activation and destroy that card" The Enma symbol then caused a holy light destroying Mirror Force after negating its effect. "Venoct, resume your attack!"
"Good thing that a top duelist always has a plan B. I activate my other Trap Card, Zero Gravity! It forces all monsters on the field to change their battle positions! And since all your monsters were in attack position, they all force to go into Defense stopping all of your attacks!" While Crowler was explaining the effect, all of Nate's Yo-Kai monsters were floating in the air before being dropped in a comical way.
"Grr… I end my turn…" Nate grunted giving Crowler his turn.
"By the way Nate, why didn't you activate Enma's Judgement before to prevent Howitzer of being summoned?" Whisper asked his master. The actual reason is that he accidentally forgot.
"Now if you excuse me, I draw." What Crowler drew was something that could help him theorically win the duel. "I activate Card of Sancity! Now we both draw until we each posess 6 cards in our hands! It's a win-win situation." Crowler and Nate both drew 5 cards. "Hehehehehehehe… Oh my. Looks like I drew you demise." Crowler told Nate with pure malice. "I PLAY THE SPELL CARD RAIGEKI! DESTROYING ALL OF YOUR MONSTERS THAT YOU CONTROL!" Crowler cried out while a giant thunderbolt came down for the Yo-Kai destroying them all excepting Burly thanks to his effect.
(Ancient Gear Wyvern/ATK: 200 - 1700/DEF: 0 - 1200)
(Ancient Gear Golem/ATK: 1500 - 3000/DEF: 1500 - 3000)
"And that's not all, I activate the card that shall bring me victory! Ancient Gear Fusion!"
"Aw crap! An archetypal Fusion cards! I heard that terrible things happened when those are come into play!" Whisper told nate.
"With this Fusion Spell Card, I can Fusion Summon and Ancient Gear Fusion Monster using materials for my field and hand. But if use an Ancient Gear Golem from my field, I can use materials straight from my Deck!" Crowler explained the effect of his card while a green and yellow vortex with gears and screws appeared behind him.
"FUSION MATERIALS FROM YOUR DECK!?" Both the brunette hero and white ghost shrieked in panic.
"Legendary Mechanical Giant! Fuse with the Dragon created by Mankind, the Dragon that shall shine for eternity so you can adquire your ultimate form!" The Dueling Logic teached chanted while sending Ancient Gear Golem and Ancient Gear Wyvern from his field and Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon from his Deck to the vortex. "Fusion Summon! Step forward, Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem!" Thus, Dr. Crowler's true Ace Card came forth making the crowd go nuts.
(EARTH/Machine/Fusion/LV: 10/ATK: 4400/DEF: 3400)
"4400 Attack points… Enough to finish me up…" The teen whispered himself in fear of seeing such titanic monster.
"Now it time to Battle! Prepare to be pummeled by Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem! Ultimate Mechanized Murder!" Crowler's monster was about to finish up the Yo-Kai Duelist, and he was so scared he couldn't even activate the only monster effect that could save him.
"Neah! Please forgive meow for what I'm about do to you Nyate!" Jibanyan the proceed to posses Nate for a short period of time. "I nyactivate Swift Scarecrow from meow hand! I discard it to end the battle phase!" Jibanyate activated his handtrap summoning Swift Scarecrow to neutralize the upcoming attack.
"Hmph! Whathever! I'm still not sure how will you get pass through my Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem. I end my turn." Crowler chuckled starting to go full arrogant.
It was Nate's turn, so Jibanyan stopped possessing his friend. But the damage was already done, since Nathan was so depressive about him not having the strong cards to beat that thing.
"Come on Nate! Get up! You have more Life Points than your opponent, so don't be all so gloomy!" Whisper tried to make his master get-up.
"What's the point whisper… what if I have good cards…? Maybe I'm not as skilled as I imagined to be…" Nate muttered to himself with no Yo-Kai inspiriting him on sight. "Maybe I should just give up…" But before the hero's hand could reach his Deck.
"STOP! This duel isn't over until the last card is drawn!"
"Huh? Who said that?" Nate then woke up on a black void.
"It was me." A little spark of light was in front of his eyes.
"Huh? Do you have a name?"
"That's not important Nate Adams. What is important is that you can't give up that easily since you're one of the saviors that has the ability to stop "him" for good!" The spark responded.
"But why?"
"Because… You have the power to see them!" The voice told him while vanishing returning the teenager to the present.
"Ahahahahaha! What's the matter? Have you lost the will to duel?" Crowler mocked the boy, unawared of what's coming for him.
"Mister Adams, you have to make a move, or I shall have no other choice but to disqualify you." Miss Fontaine told the teen.
"I…" The boy finally got up. "I… DRAW!" a flash of spiritual energy came out from the boy's draw similar to another boy from the Standard dimension. Nate then looked at his card. "Perfect… Dr. Crowler, it was a fun duel when it lasted, but this turn I will win by summoning this! I summon Whisper the Slippery Yo-Kai!" Jus then the hero inserted the card, a light was starting to cover Whisper while he was flailing his arms in fear.
"Huh? Hey! What's the big idea Nate!?" Whisper reclaimed at his master.
(DARK/Zombie/LV: 4/ATK: 1700 - 2200/DEF: 100 - 600)
"And here's his effect! From all the Yo-Kai, Whisper a self-proclaimed Yo-Kai buttler who claims he knows everything about Yo-Kai, and he's mostly Bluffing! His effect allows me to add 1 Yo-Kai monster from my Deck to my hand! I add Jibanyan the Charming Yo-Kai to my hand!" Nate exclaimed while drawing Jibanyan's card.
"Yeah? What are you planning youngling?" Crowler asked Nate.
"Easy! I'm setting my play, but first I shall activate my Crank-a-Kai by discarding Jibanyan!" Nate proceed to discard Jibanyan to activate Crank-A-Kai making it expel another capsule, but instead of bringing out a Zombie, it was nothing since he drew Twister forcing him to discard the Quic-Play Spell.
"HA! Too bad! You didn't draw a Zombie monster!" Crowler laughed at the teenager.
"To the contrary, I actually wanted to discard Jibanyan so I can play this! You know, you aren't the only one with Archetype exclusive fusion cards! I activate the Spell Card Yo-Kai Fusion!" Nate announced out while showing off his own Fusion card. "I can Fusion Summon a Zombie monster from my Extra Deck by banishing its fusion materials from my hand and Graveyard!"
"Hmmm… So its just like Miracle fusion… But I don't play Elemental HEROES anymore…" Jaden sighted.
Meanwhile, a vortex full of spiritual energy appeared behind Nate sucking Jibanyan and Whisper while both screamed in panic.
"Think of something cool, think of something cool… AHA! Ehem… Ghost who claims to know everything! Feline Spirit of the haunted crossroad! merge together to give birth an unbeatable spirit that can even defeat the Blue-eyes White Dragon! Fusion Summon! I Summon You!" Nate's fusion monster then revealed himself being…
"BUCHINYAN THE CHARMING YO-KAI! Nya Wissu!" The Yo-Kai fusion exclaimed with a Whisper's and Jibanyan's voice. The whole crowd started to laugh after witnessing the Fusion's size as it was as tall as Jibanyan.
"Ah! Not this again! Please, tell me there's a way to revert this! Please tell me you have De-fusion in you hand Nate!" Whisper's voice reclaimed while fighting for control for Buchinyan against Jibanyan.
(DARK/Zombie/Fusion/LV: 7/ATK: 2500 - 3000/DEF: 0 - 500)
"Heh… Don't judge a book by its cover." The boy said "
"It doesn't matter if your Ace Card is a small ball of fur! You triggered my Trap Card Dark Matter Trap Hole! When you summon a monster from the Extra Deck, it is destroyed, and latter banished!" Crowler announced, but the teenager laughed in response.
"Sorry Doc, but Buchinyan can't be destroyed by card effects nor be targeted." Nate told him while Buchinyan avoided the the Black hole below him by doing a 360° backflip. "I now activate the Spell card Book of Life! I can Special Summon a Zombie from my Graveyard and Banish one of your monsters from the graveyard! I banish one of your golems to summon Happierre!" A green book appeared and when it opened, it revealed the Heartful Yo-Kai.
"Ohohoho! Bonjour monsieur Nate!" The French Yo-Kai said hi to the Yo-Kai duelist
(LIGHT/Zombie/LV: 4/ATK: 1700 - 2200/DEF: 100 - 600)
Suddenly, every Yo-Kai monster felt more calm and happier.
"Aww… I feel like really warm inside…" Buchinyan told himself while his Attack began to raise.
(Buchinyan the Charming Yo-Kai/ATK: 3000 - 4200)
(SGT. Burly the Brave Yo-Kai/ATK: 1500 - 2700)
(Hapierre the Heartful Yo-Kai/ATK: 2200 - 3100)
"NA NO NE!? How did that ball of fur can have so much attack!?" Crowler couldn't believe that a pipsqueak could have attack that could surpass Blue-eyes White Dragon.
"You see, Happierre is a Yo-Kai that when it's near, everyone around him feels much better and more positive, and they say happiness is like a virus. His effect is that it gives my Yo-Kai monsters 300 Attack points for every monster on the field! Its an effect better known as Air of Happiness." Nate explained about the effect.
(DARK/Zombe/LV: 4/ATK: 1700 - 3700/DEF: 100 - 600)
(Buchinyan the Charming Yo-Kai/ATK: 4200 - 5700)
(SGT. Burly the Brave Yo-Kai/ATK: 2700 - 3900)
(Hapierre the Heartful Yo-Kai/ATK: 3100 - 4300)
"How odd… that effect reminds me of Yusho's smile world. Could he have a relation with him…?" The Professor thought to himself.
"And you remember the Mezuki? Well I activate it effect! By banishing it, I can banish it to Special Summon a Zombie from my Deck! Return Dismarelda!" Nate then summoned back the Eerie Yo-Kai
"Huh? I'm Back?" Dismarelda told herself.
"Aw, my petite lover has arrived." Happierre said while holding hands with her wife.
"AH Pasta Cakes! Not her again!" Crowler shrieked in terror by just witnessing the return of the Yo-Kai causing his Fusion monster to go all negative.
(Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem/ATK: 4400 - 2900/DEF: 3200 - 1700)
"And we can go even further! Since I control a Yo-Kai monster, I can Special Summon Dimmy the Shady Yo-Kai from my hand in defense position!" Nate proceed to continue his turn by summoning the Ninja Yo-Kai in defense.
(DARK/Zombie/LV: 4/ATK: 100 -2300/DEF: 100 - 600)
"WHAT!? A monster with that much Attack for free!?" Crowler cried while his eyeballs popped off in a comical way.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about me…" The Yo-Kai muttered.
"And more Yo-Kai mean more power for my monsters and less for you!" Nate exclaimed while the rest of Yo-Kai became stronger.
(Buchinyan the Charming Yo-Kai/ATK: 5700 - 6000)
(SGT. Burly the Brave Yo-Kai/ATK: 3300 - 3600)
(Hapierre the Heartful Yo-Kai/ATK: 3700 - 4000)
(Dismarelda the Eerie Yo-Kai/ATK: 3700 - 4000)
(Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem/ATK: 2900 - 2600/DEF: 1700 - 1400)
"NO WAY! That small-size fusion became twice as strong as the Blue-eyes White Dragon!" Jaden exclaimed while getting up from his seat.
Leo was just smirking. He hasn´t heard of and archetype called Yo-Kai, but it looks like those cards can be effective for its cause.
"Battle! Buchinyan, attack Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem and end this duel!" But unfortunately for Nathan, Whisper and Jibanyan were still arguing. So he took Buchinyan… "I said, ATTACK!" and then threw the Yo-Kai fusion against the Machine Fusion.
"I-I activate Clockwork Gardna! If a monster my opponent controls attacks, I can Special Summon this card from my hand and Redirect that monster's attack to Gardna!" Crowler in a desperate move, summoned the Shield-like robot to protect the Machine fusion, unaware of Buchinyan's second effect.
(EARTH/Machine/LV: 8/ATK: 500/DEF: 3000)
"NYEAOUCH!" Buchinyan's head bumped into Gardna, destroying the shield.
"Ha! I survived this turn! And your other monsters don't have enough Attack to surpass Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem!" Crowler pointed out all confident.
"Have I told you about Buchinyan's effect?" Nate told the teacher making him gasp. "When Buchinyan destroys a monster by battle, it permanently gains 500 Attack points and also can attack a second time!" Just when Nate stopped from explaining the effect, a red aura surrounded the cat Yo-Kai giving him an adrenaline rush.
(Buchinyan the Charming Yo-Kai/ATK: 6000 - 6500)
"And Nate's Yo-Kai just became more powerful! We haven't seen a monster with an Attack skyrocketing!" Fontaine exclaimed making the crowd even more nuts than before.
"And that's game! Buchinyan, ATTACK!" When Adams gave the ordered to attack, Buchinyan jumped to the air to where Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem was.
"Time to say goodbye! FLURRY OF FURRY! NYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYA!" Buchinyan used his ultimate move resulting about one trillion paws of fury going towards the Golem's face tearing the machine down. Meanwhile, Crowler was trying to dodge all of the falling pieces of the Golem that were falling down.
"Yes! I'm still alive! D'OW!" A small screw hit the teacher draining all of his Life Points
Dr. Crowler LP: 3500 - 0
Nate Adams WINS!
"And we have a winner! Nate Adams!" Ms. Fontaine exclaimed making the entire colisseum cheer like crazy and started to chant his Name. Meanwhile, both Jibanyan and Whisper de-fused and both were tired out.
"Urgh… let's never talk about this again…" Whisher told Jibanyan
"Nyagree…"
Dr. Crowler then approached Nate. "Hmph… even though I felt that your victory was kinda cheap, I still congratulate you for defeating me."
Ait, you're not mad?" Asked the boy.
"What should I be? A good duelist always accepts defeat when his Life Points are down to 0. I just hope that we could duel again." Crowler told Nate before saying goodbye.
Meanwhile Nate was being carried like a super star who won the superbowl.
(The Doktor's Laboratory/Academia/Fusion Dimension)
The Doktor one of Leo's must entrusted comrades was experimenting with his precious Fusion Parasites using the newly acquired Kaiba Corp technology. "There my children, papa's making alteration to all of you to make you all big and strong" The Doktor told his precious "Children"
"Doktor, The Professor wants a word with you." Jaden told to the Doktor as he entered the room.
"Oooohh Professor! Here to see my development of my parasites?" The creepy scientist asked Leo
"No doctor. I wanted to show you this." The Professor inserted a chip showing the entire duel between Crowler and the Yo-Kai duelist.
"Hmmm? Interesting! That boy's using never seen before cards." The Doktor said with excitement.
"Not any cards, he's using cards based on Yo-Kai. But the most amazing part is how those Yo-Kai monster interact not only with the monsters, but also the duelists. Its like they have an actual soul…" Leo responded.
"Interesting. So do you want me to kidnap him and start doing experiments?"
"No Doktor. We can't risk revealing your existence to the Academia yet. We need to send someone to duel him again so we can analize his cards." Jaden responded.
"But who?" The Doktor asked.
"Maybe Moi?" Suddendly, Yuri the Fusion counterpart of "him" arrived.
