A/N: Sorry that this chapter took so long, also sorry if this isn't best chapter in the world. Writes Block as well as laziness affected this chapter, however despite that I hope you still enjoy. Also I recommend you reread Ch. 2. I changed the duel to use Assembly Nightingales Anime Effect and not her real life effect.
In the middle of a fierce duel between Sage and Gongenzaka on an action field called Broadway, which from what Sage heard from Yuya was his father's favorite action field. Currently, Sage only had Odd-Eyes Pendulum Magician Girl in his monster zone while his Pendulum zones were set with Dawn and Dusk Magician Girl. Gongenzaka on the other hand only had his ace Monster Superheavy Samurai Big Ben-K on the field, in defense position of course. Ruri was watching the duel between the two with a smile on her face, Sage's off the wall dueling style against Gongenzaka's Steadfast dueling style was a very interesting watch.
(Sage: 1500 Hand: 3)
(Gongenzaka: 2500 Hand: 1)
"Alright it's my turn!" Sage drew his card before smiling, "Alright using my already set Pendulum scales I perform a Pendulum Shokan! Come to me my eternal comrades!" Three streams of light came down from the Pendulum portal, "From my Extra deck Entermate Cheer Magician Girl and from my hand comes Entermate Cyber Magician Girl and Entermate Neko Magician Girl!"
(Entermate Cheer Magician Girl - LIGHT - Spellcaster/Pendulum/Effect- Scale 5 - Level 3 - 1100/1000)
(Entermate Cyber Magician Girl - DARK - Spellcaster/Tuner/Pendulum/Effect - Level 3 - Scale 9 - 1700/300)
(Entermate Neko Magician Girl -LIGHT- Spellcaster/Pendulum/Effect - Scale 7 - Level 4 - 1400/1000)
"I'm not done yet! I now tune my Level 3 Entermate Cheer Magician Girl with my Level 3 Entermate Cyber Magician Girl!" Sage declared as he began to Synchro summon, "As the stars begin to align, a new path of hope is born! Now spread your beautiful wings and soar through the heavenly skies at the speed of sound! SYNCHRO SHOKAN! Come forth! Level 6! Majestic Nova Synchro Magician Girl." Sage's ace Synchro monster appeared smiling as her wings sparkled.
(Majestic Nova Synchro Magician Girl - WIND - Spellcaster/Synchro/Effect -Level 6 - 2500/2000)
"Now battle! I attack Superheavy Samurai Big Ben-K with Majestic Nova Synchro Magician Girl." The Synchro Magician Girl monster smiled as she began to flew upwards into the night sky of the action field her wings glittering in the night sky
"But your monster's ATK is lower than Big Ben-K's DEF!" Gongenaka called out.
"Not for long, as I use Entermate Neko's effect. Once per turn during either player's battle phase I can switch the ATK and DEF of one monster my opponent controls! And of course I'm targeting Big Benkei."
(Superheavy Samurai Big Ben-K: 3500 DEF ⇆ 1000 ATK)
"What an effect" Gongenzaka said in awe.
Sage grabbed a nearby Action card thanks to Odd-Eyes and used it, "I activate the Action Magic: Sharpen! Now only does this card give Majestic Nova a 500 ATK boost but she is also able to deal piercing damage.
(Majestic Nova Synchro Magician Girl: 2500 + 500=3000)
"With all your beauty and grace spread fear into all who shall oppose, Cosmic Hurricane Impact!" Majestic Nova gracefully swirled around in the air like a tornado, cloaking herself with turquois colored wind, she locked eyes on her target before charging at Big Ben-K at a great speed ramming into the Superheavy Monster shaving good chunk of life off of Gongenzaka, however despite that, The Superheavy duestlist stood his ground and didn't move an inch much to Ruri's awe.
(Gongenzaka's Life: 3000 - 2000 =1000)
"This duel has been fun, big guy, sadly this fun has to come to an end," Sage placed his fingers on his forward, "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Magician Girl, attack him directly! Spiral Strike Blast!" Sage's Odd-Eyes spun her baton before pointing it at her target and firing a stream of flames at Gongenaka who again endured the hit not looking worse for wear expect from some smoke coming off his clothes
(Gongenaka's Life: 1000 - 2500 = 0)
(Winner Sage!)
"That was a good duel!" Gongenaka's voice boomed as he smiled at Sage while the action field around them disappeared along with Sage's monsters, "Yuya wasn't kidding about your talents as a Duelist. I'm glad to have dueled you even if it was just a practice match."
"You're not too bad yourself, Big guy. And your deck. Your deck is soo damn cool!" Sage declared with stars in his eyes, "A deck that uses only monsters! That is unheard of! And yet you have one. I wouldn't last a whole second in a duel without Spell or trap cards."
Gongenzaka let out a hardy laugh at Sage's reaction, "Thanks, I wish to improve and our duel has helped me in that quest." He says as he begins to dust off his outfit.
As they began to leave the duel arena to hear Ruri clapping, "That was an amazing duel between you two. I was on edge the whole time,"
"Glad you enjoyed the show Ruri," Sage commented smiling while placing his hands on his hips
"So Sage have you been able to recover any of your memories?" Gongenzaka decided to ask.
Sage looked upwards while tapping the bottom of his lip with his finger, "Nope, my head is still very scrambled. Well… Actually I guess that's a slight lie, I've remembered minor thing that aren't really super important in the grand scheme of things."
Ruri gained a rather concerned look, she remembered him saying that when he brought her to You Show, "I really hope that you'll be able to get your memories back someday, I can't imagine how hard it is to not be able to remember anything."
"Ehhh don't worry about it, it's not as hard as you think it is. For me at the very least," Sage began with a light shrug, "I've always been about the here and now, while yes I do wanna learn about my past, I think that creating some new memories are just as important,"
Gongenzaka patted Sage on the back causing him to stumble forwards a bit, "You're more and more like Yuya the more I get to know you." The large teen boomed causing Sage to blush, "I, the man Gongenzaka, shall help you not only regain your memories, but also help you create new ones."
"You can count me in too," Ruri said with a smile, "You helped me twice so it's only fair,"
"Thanks you two, I appreciate it," Sage answered, "If anything pops up I'll bring it up,"
At this moment Ruri decided to pop a question to Gongenzaka, "So Gong I've been noticing something from the past few days of being here. Why is there hardly anyone here?"
"Oh right I've been wanting to ask that for a while too actually," Sage added, "I mean being the only school where Pendulum Summoning is possible I'm surprised this place isn't pact to the brim with students like a… Like a… I couldn't really up with anything clever but you know what I mean,"
"Well Sage you would be correct in that it was going to be that case, however, the kids were more interested in Pendulum summoning and not about this school's teaching, and so left after seeing Yuya was unable to do it a second time." Gong informed them, gaining a look of distaste, "Calming Yuya to be a cheater."
"That's so disrespectful," Ruri commented with an equal amount of disteaste. While Ruri was coming to this school due to Shuzo's request, she has enjoyed her time here and loved their way of dueling. Dueling for fun and to make people smile was a great way to inspire people. Unlike a certain other school.
Sage let out a low growl at the thought of Yuya being called a cheater left a major bad taste in his mouth, 'People like that are scum,' He thought to himself.
Gongenzaka then let out a long sigh, "Then again I also feel like Yusho Sakaki's disappearance had a hand in it as well,"
Ruri perked up upon hearing the name Yusho Sakaki, that name rang some bells in her head but for the life of her she couldn't remember, "So is he related to Yuya in some way perhaps?" Sage questioned.
"His father actually. And I couldn't tell you why he suddenly disappeared," He commented, "That's a question better asked to Yuya,"
Sage crossed his arms, he knew there was something up seeing as he never saw Yuya's father on the days he's been there. He opted not to ask as he thought this Yusho person died, however with this information he felt like that theory was wrong. This Yusho person could still be out there somewhere seeing as Gongenzaka said that he had just disappeared. But then that brings up way more questions such as, where is he and how he'd disappeared in the first place, not to mention why. All of these questions filled his mind as he thought, 'Maybe I should try to solve this at a later date without getting too deep into people's personal life.' Suddenly something clicked within his head, 'His name is Yusho and the name of the school he created is You Show that's both clever and funny. Note to self if you ever see Yuya's father comment on his naming Scheme.'
"So that reminds me where Yuya, Yuzu and the Ankelbiters?" Sage questioned.
"They're at school," Gong answered.
"Oh right. You know Yoko wanted me to attend a school but I refused." Sage commented "I'm surprised that Yuya and them still go to a normal school to be honest."
"Actually as I recall something Mr. Hiragi said something about a school named LDS," Ruri began as Sage tossed a bottle of water he was drinking out of into a nearby recycling bin with him doing a small fist pump, "What type of school are they?"
"A big one. LDS is the only school that I know of that teaches all three summoning methods," The big teen told them.
"Wow all of them? So that's Synchro, Xyz, and Fusion all taught in one place," Sage said before crossing his arms, 'Wait, aren't they missing a summing method?' Sage thought to himself.
Ruri lightly flinched at the sound of the word fusion, thought of Fusion summoning being here still made her slightly uncomfortable despite the fact that, as far as she knew, Standard had no connections to Fusion or at least she hoped it didn't. Sage seemed to have noticed that Ruri was not only lost in thought but looked uncomfortable, "You alright Ruri?"
"Huh oh yeah I'm fine," Ruri answered quickly, "I'm thinking of what this LDS place is like."
"Same, I'm also pretty interested in this LSD school." Sage crossed his arms, 'If LSD is as big as Gong says it is then maybe…,' He looked up at the big teen, "Hey Gong mind telling me where I can find this LDS place at? I wanna see something,"
Letting out light snores Yuya was dozing off in class, which wasn't surprising as he and Sage were up a good portion of the night talking about and coming up with different dueling strategies, plus boredom. Yuzu looked back and forth from the teacher to the sleeping Yuya and back to the teacher again freaking out, "Sakaki could you solve this problem?" Yuzu let out a small gasp as she saw everyone now looking at the sleeping Yuya and the teacher approving his desk, the teacher slammed his hands on it shouting, "Wake up Sakaki Yuya!"
Without a second though Yuya jumped up, "With your beautiful dual colored eyes-" Yuya's brain caught up to the situation as he stopped mid chant and looked around gaining a light blush in embarrassment. He swore he heard Odd-Eyes let out a sigh.
"So what's your excuse this time huh?" The teacher asked.
'Odd-Eyes help me out here.' He mentally asked his dragon partner who didn't respond much to his dismay, "Well if I manage to come up with an excuse will I be excused?"
"Of course not Yuya baka!" Yuzu shouted smacking him with her fan causing him to slam into the ground hard much to the amusement of everyone in class.
"So you're telling me that you've spent a good bit of last night talking to Sage about dueling? Again," Yuzu commented before she put her hands on her hips, "I understand wanting to become a stronger duelist, to learn more about Pendulum Summoning, and talk to Sage but you can't let that interfere with your school work."
"Come on Yuzu if I didn't fall asleep in class then you would have never hit me with that fan of yours with perfect timing," Yuya said looking at the brighter side of things.
Yuzu let out a sigh, "That's not the issue Yuya. I'm going to have a talk with Sage the next time I see him,"
Yuya began to don a sweetdrop feeling bad for his new friend, "Yuya Nii-chan,"
"Huh?" Yuzu and Yuya saw Ayu, Tatsuya, and Futosh.
"Hey you three." Yuya greeted them smiling as he and Yuzu walked up to them.
"Is it true that you and Sage Nii-San are going to show us Pendulum summoning again?" Futosh asked.
"Come on! Show us we wanna see you and Sage Nii-San dueling again," Tatsuya commented excitedly.
"Maybe we can have a Tag Duel between Yuya Nii-San and Sage Nii-san against Yuzu Nee-san and Ruri Nee-san," Ayu suggested.
"Hold your horses kids. And that's not a bad idea actually…" Thinking back it's been awhile since he's been a tag duel, "Come on to You Show!" The children cheered, however progress was stopped when Yuya saw three darts flying towards him with all three hitting him on the nose.
"Really? Absolutely nothing on me at all?" Sage asked.
"Sorry young man but there is nothing on you in our record, if you want I can double check," The woman told him.
"Nahh it's all good," Sage bowed, "Thanks for your help," Sage walked back to Ruri, who was going through her deck, looking upwards she saw Sage's disappointed look, "Guessing they didn't have anything?"
"Yeah…" Sage began to cross his arms, "That idea was a bust, I was sure that the biggest dueling school would have at least some type of data on me."
Ruri put her deck away before patting Sage on the shoulder, "Hey well maybe they'll have something else on ya?"
"Hmmm now that you mentioned it I've only tried to find stuff on myself but..." Sage took his deck out, "What if they had some info on my Magical Girl deck?"
Ruri couldn't help but snicker when she said that, "You know, I never asked but why do you use a deck full of mainly female monsters?" Ruri highly respects Sage as a duelist, no doubt about that but this question has been in her mind for a while now.
"I was going through a phase okay," Sage answered puffing out his cheeks, that question seemed to have spawned an automatic response from him as he put his deck back into his pouch, "I have a liking for magical girl anime, magicians, plus my aces are Magician Girls monsters. So my deck just so happens to represent all of that in a mixture."
Ruri couldn't hold in her laughter, "I didn't take you as a person who likes magical girls, then again after seeing your deck,"
"Yeah yeah laugh it up while you can," Sage replied, he wrapped his arm around Ruri's neck and began to playfully ruffling her hair with an equally playful smile, "May I remind you that this magical girl lover, with a magical girl deck, is the same person and deck who currently has a win over you."
"Cut it out Sage," Ruri said in a fake whiny tone while trying to push him away laughing at his childishness, "Alright I give, I give, you're going to ruin my hair."
"Alright little birdy I'll set you free," Sage let out a small chuckle as he let her go, "You're lucky you're a cute little birdy."
Ruri began blushing hard upon hearing Sage call her cute, "Stop teasing me you meanie," She said as she lightly hit his chest.
"Okay okay so what should we do now?" Sage asked her, getting back on topic, "Should we go and find out if they know anything about my deck?"
"Hmmm how about we-" Ruri interrupted herself upon spotting some familiar figures, "Wait what!? Isn't that Yuya and the others," Ruri pointed out.
"Whoa it is!" He said as he wasn't expecting to see Yuya and the rest of the gang at LSD, "Wait you don't think they saw us playing around right?" Sage shivered, "Shit if they did then Yuzu is going to beat the hell out of me with that fan of hers."
"Hmmm I doubt it seeing as they aren't coming towards us," Ruri narrowed her eyes upon seeing another teen, "Do you know that other person who's with them?" Ruri questioned.
"No I don't, but I have a bad feeling about this. So let's find out what the deal is," Sage commented as he began following them with Ruri in quick follow, passing by a blue haired kid in the process who gained a slightly confused look and began to follow them.
"Wow it's LSD center court, it's bigger then I imagined it'd be," Tatsuya commented looking around, even Yuya himself couldn't help but let out a small whistle he could see why the little ones were so excited to come to this place. While he still greatly preferred You Show School, as it had a much more cozier feeling to it, he couldn't say that his court wasn't somewhat impressive. However Yuya couldn't get rid of this bad feeling he's been having ever since their guide, a person by the name of Shingo Sawartari, talked him and the rest of his group into coming to LSD for some unknown reason. This was also supported by the fact that he could feel his Ace's monster shared the same feeling.
This feeling increased as he saw two more people wearing LSD uniforms, "These guys are friends of mine. They're also fans of yours," Sawatari explained, "Now do you mind if we saw your Pendulum cards?"
"M-my Pendulum cards?" Yuya questioned in an uneasy tone.
"Come on we just wanna see them. Nothing too bad right?" Sawatari asked.
Yuya heard Odd-Eyes let out a loud Roar, 'Are you sure Odd-Eyes?' Yuya questioned.
Odd-Eyes appeared in visible form in front of Yuya staring daggers at Sawatari wanting his master to get away from this annoying human as fast as possible. Though Odd-Eyes knew how this might end, the dragon didn't seem too worried about that knowing Yuya.
Yuya let out a small sigh, "Alright fine I'll do it," Yuya began to reach into his deck box.
"Are you sure Yuya?" Yuzu questioned.
"If showing them would allow us to get out of this place quicker I don't see why not," Yuya commented as he took out Stargazer and Timegazer, Yuya knew better then to take out more than these two, before he showed them to Sawatari and his group, however the moment he held them out they were swiped from his hand, both Yuya and Yuzu felt uncomfortable how they stared at the Pendulum cards with a greedy look in their eyes, "Alright could you give me back my cards please," Yuya commented.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Sawatari began as he held up the cards, "These are my Pendulum cards."
"What the.." Yuzu interrupted herself to not curse in front of the kids, "Those are not your cards!" she shouted enraged as she launched at the teen in an attempt to get the cards from his grasp however he moved out of the way, "Give those cards back!"
"As I said these are my cards now. Plus do you think that it's pretty unfair that Yuya has access to the power while no one else does?" Sawatari questioned, "A son of a coward doesn't deserve this power."
Yuya glared, "Don't you dare call my father a coward, now quit being a dick and give me back my cards!" Yuya demanded with malice causing the people behind Sawatari to step back.
Sawatari let out a small scoff, "No one cares what you-" He was suddenly cut off when he felt a hand grabbing him by the wrist. Everyone's eyes wined upon seeing that the owner of the hand was Sage, and he did not look happy. They also saw Ruri behind Sage with an equally unhappy look on her face
"What the?" Sawatari was both fearful and confused at the sudden appearances of the older teen, "Who are you?"
Yuzu answered that question by saying "Sage and Ruri!? What are you two doing here? Also what happened to your hair Ruri?"
"Me and Sage came here to check out if LDS had any info on him, and about my hair… Well that isn't important," Ruri commented before looking at Sawatari, "And you. You have no right calling somebody anybody a coward. Not Yuya nor his father. You're a even bigger coward."
"Take what she said and increase it twofold for me," Sage increased his grip around Sawatari's wrist making him wince in pain, "Now give Yuya back his cards now before I force you to"
"Do you know who I am? My Father is-" Sawatari was once again cut off as Sage increased his grip he could feel that if Sage squeezed any harder it might actually break his wrist, "I don't give a damn about who you are or who you're related to! Greedy People like you piss the hell off!"
"Sage Nii-San can be really scary..." Ayu commented.
"I'm getting bad shivers," Futoish said.
'Getting some major Nii-san vibs right now. And don't know if that's a good or bad thing...' Ruri thought to herself, before she put her hand on Sage's shoulder, "Sage calm down he's not worth it," She commented in a soothing tone which slightly calmed him down.
"Sage let me handle this," Yuya requested, "It's my fault I let this happen so I should take reasonably, plus violents isn't going to solve anything"
Sage expression softened even more before he gave Yuya a soft smile giving him a thumbs up, "Alright if you say so little Dude I'll leave this one to you," Sage threw Sawatari back causing him to stubble back letting out a small sigh of relief that the son of a cowards saved him from getting his wrist broken. He then glared at Sage, why was he scared by some nobody like him. This idiot knows nothing of who he is.
"You know I couldn't help but hear you saying that Yuya was the only one with the power of Pendulum summoning correct?" Sage gained a smug smile as he took out his pouch and by extension his deck, he shuffled it before drawing the top three cards which were; Dawn Magician Girl, Dust Magician Girl, and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Magician Girl, Sawatari gasped, "But as you can see here I have some right here. Real Pendulum cards."
'How does this guy have Pendulum cards? Hmmm wait I can use this to my advantage' Sawaturi thought to himself before looking at Yuya, "Alright how about a deal? If you beat me in a duel I'll give you my Pendulum Magicians, however if I beat you your friend has to give up all of his Pendulum cards to me."
"What? I'd never bet on my friends' cards," Yuya commented.
"Yuya do it," Sage commented, causing everyone to look at Sage with a concerned look as he had a cocky smile, "Knowing you Yuya, I know that you can win without any problem."
"Are you sure Sage? I care about my monsters like my family but I don't feel right dueling with your cards on the line as well." Yuya knew that Sage loved his monsters and he didn't want to disappoint Sage.
Sage gave Yuya a reassuring smile, "Look little dude, I wouldn't be so confident if I didn't think you could do it. Plus you're not going to lose to this Yamcha."
Yuya let out a reluctant sigh before returning the smile, "Okay. I won't let you down Senpai," Yuya slapped his duel disk onto his arm, "Alright Sawatari let's go!"
Smiling Sage led the others outside the ring of the courtyard as Ayu asked, "What's a Yamcha?"
Sage couldn't help but let out a small laugh, he'd hoped that somebody would ask that question, "A Yamcha is a disappointment, I mean come on the name immense disappointment,"
Yuzu placed her hand on her chin, "You know it kinda does, kinda like the name Raditz."
Sage slowly shifted his eyes a bit, 'I'm not even going to ask how the hell she knows that name.'
"Well things didn't go as I planned but it doesn't matter once I beat you with my Pendulum monsters, and get my hands on your friends Pendulum cards, nothing will stop me. Action Field on!" Sawartari declared and in a flash of light a dark city appeared.
Yuya looked around, "I never liked this action field all to much," He admitted before he began the chant,
Duelist Locked in battle.
Kicking that earth and dancing in the air with their monster
"They stormed through this field! Behold! This is the Newest and Greatest Evolution in Dueling"
Action Duel!
(Yuya 4000 Hand: 5)
(Sawatari: 4000 Hand: 5)
With a loud explosion Action Cards spread all across the city, "I'll go first!" Yuya declared as he draws his first card looking at his hand, 'I can't Pendulum Summon this turn but I can prepare for one on a later turn' Yuya smiled, "I first activate the spell card Pendulum Invitational, this card allows me to place two Pendulum monsters from my deck into my extra deck face-up then I can draw 2 cards. However I cannot Pendulum Summon, Set my Pendulum Scales, or activate Pendulum effects this turn."
"Whoa I've never seen Yuya use that card before," Yuzu commented.
"Ohhh just wait and see. There's more to Yuya then you may think, just watch and see" Sage commented with a smile.
Everyone looked at Sage with a confused look before looking back at the duel as Yuya continued his places
"I place Entermate Odd-Euyes Golem and Entermate Odd-Eyes Light Phoenix into my extra deck face-up then I can draw 2 cards," Yuya drew his cards and looking at his hand, "Next I Summon Entermate Odd-Eyes Wyvern from my hand,"
Appearing on the field was a very cute baby dragon looking like a smaller version of his Odd-Eyes who let out a small roar, "Sooooo cute!" Yuzu, Ruri, and Ayu shouted much to the boys next to them dismay.
(Entermate Odd-Eyes Wyvern - DARK - Dragon/Pendulum/Effect - Scale 2 -Level 4 - 1500/800)
Sawatari let out a small scoff, "What can that monster do?"
"Why don't I show you? By using Entermate Odd-Eyes Wyvern effect I can special summon 1 Level 8 or lower 'Odd-Eyes' Dragon-Type monster from my Hand, Deck, or face-up from my extra deck. I summon my ace monster from the deck!" As the baby dragon began to glow white, "Now come forth a Dragon with wonderful dual colored eyes Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" As Yuya's ace monster appeared he let out a loud roar
(Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon - DARK- Dragon/Pendulum/Effect - Scale 4 - Level 7 - 2500/2000)
"Yuya Nii-san summoned Odd-Eyes on his first turn!" Tatsuya shouted in joy.
"This duel is already giving me shivers," Futoish said.
Yuya jumped onto Odd-Eyes, "I set 2 cards face-down then I end my turn." Yuya declared as Odd-Eyes began running off.
(Yuya: 4000 Hand: 2)
(Sawatari 4000 Hand: 5)
"Not bad he summoned his ace monster on the first turn." Sawatari admitted before he drew his card to start his turn, he smiled greatly upon seeing that he drew Timegazer, he was about to make his plays when, "No don't use it yet."
"What? I'm good point." Sawatari retorted about to use Timegazer Magician.
"I told you not yet," The voice Reigi said once more in a more stern tone.
"Alright, alright," He couldn't really disobey the president.
'Who is he talking to? You know I feel like something's up,' Sage thought.
Sawatari looked at his hand once more, "I normal summon Lighting Board!"
(Lighting Board - LIGHT - Thunder/Effect - Level 4 - 1400/1200)
Sawatari dropped onto the hoverboard like, monster and began going after Yuya, who made it to a nearby bridge looking for an action card, "Found one!" Yuya jumped off a Odd-Eyes and picked it up, "Oh no it's a trap!"
"Black-Eyed shot. It drops your monster's ATK by 900," Yuya began to panic as a pool of balls began rolling towards him and Odd-Eyes however the dragon whipped his tail knocking Yuya out of the way while the dragon itself got flattening
(Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: 2500 - 900 =1600)
"Didn't you know not all action cards are helpful." Sawatari commented
"Odd-Eyes!" Yuya shouted in concern from his ace monster, "Are you okay buddy!?" The dragon shook away his dizziness before nodding.
"How touching." Sawatari grabbed a nearby action card, "Action Magic: Tranquil Dart, this card decreases your monster's ATK by 800." The spell card shoots out a dart hitting Odd-Eyes on the neck causing the dragon to let out a roar of pain and colliping unable to move.
(Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: 1600 - 800 =800)
"Odd-Eyes!" He could feel the pain of his dragon friend.
"Now battle! I attack Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon with a Lightning Board! Lighting darts!" The monster Sawatari was riding one shot out a blast of lightning.
"You're not destroying Odd-Eyes on my watch!" Yuya said, "Reverse card open! Iron Dragon Scales! A Dragon-Type monster I control cannot be destroyed by battle this turn,"
"Even if you protect your dragon you'll still take the damage," Sawatari replied.
"I planned for that! Reverse card open! Defense Draw! Not only do I take no damage but I also draw a card!" A Shield of cards appeared in front of Odd-Eyes and Yuya blocking the lighting strike, "Looks like you failed to touch my dragon." Yuya said smiling as he drew his card thanks to the defence draw's effect.
Sawatari clicked his tongue before reluncted saying, "I end my turn,"
(Yuya: 4000 Hand: 3)
(Sawatari: 4000 Hand: 3)
As Sawatari's turn ended Odd-Eyes managed to regain his senses, getting back up and letting out a roar.
"Whoa it was like Yuya Nii-San knew what Sawatari was going to do." Ayu said.
"Ore no turn!" Yuya drew his card, as he mentally thanked Sage for the idea of having a back-up plan just in case going for an action card doesn't work.
'Still don't have monsters for a Pendulum Summon,' Yuya thought, "Battle! I attack Lightning Board with my Odd-Eyes," Yuya declared as he began to chant, "With those dual colored eyes lay waste to all you see Spiral Strike Burst!" Odd-Eyes smiled a small bit as he jumped up and fired a spiraling blast of flames at Sawatari's Lighting Board
Sawatari found an action card while skimming the water, "I activate evasion I negate your attack!" Lightning board dodged the stream of flames, "You wasted your attack."
"You really think so huh? Well I hate to inform you but since Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon was summoned by the effect of Odd-Eyes Wyvern he can attack twice per battle phase," Yuya informed
"Wait what!?" Sawatari shouted as he didn't expect that
"Odd-Eyes attack once more! Spiral Strike Burst!" Odd-Eyes let out another stream of flames hitting Sawatari monster destroying it and causing him to drop into the water.
"Yuya got a hit in!" Ruri cheered giggling at Sawatari's fate of falling into the water
(Sawatari 4000 - 1100 = 2900)
"I set a card face down and end my turn" Yuya declared as he rubbed his dragons head who roared in satisfaction
(Yuya: 4000 Hand: 3)
(Sawatari: 2900 Hand: 4)
Sawatari climbed out of the water, "That bastard," How could a son of a coward could strike him like that, "I hate to say this but he's better than I thought," Sawatari drew his card, "Get Lighting Board onto the field and use the card you just drew," Reiji said.
"I don't need you to tell me what to do," Sawatari commented as he began to make his plays, "First I activate pot of greed to draw 2 cards, then I activate Monster reborn to bring back Lightning Board. Next I use releash trade, by tribing one monster I control I can add a monster that is a Level higher from my deck to my hand," Lightning board disappeared as Sawaturi added a card to his hand, "I'm adding Stargazer Magician to my hand."
Yuya's eyes widened, "My Pendulum Monster."
"You mean my Pendulum monster," Sawatari commented
Odd-Eyes let out a small growl, this human really was starting to piss him off, however Yuya rubbed the dragon's head to calm the dragon, "Odd-Eyes I know he's annoying but we'll get through this." Yuya said, smiling at his ace monster who's look softened as the dragon nodded, "Besides even with Stargazer in your hand you won't be able to Pendulum Summon," Yuya said.
"Oh I know that. But didn't you forget I'm the chosen one." Sawatari said.
"Wait! You don't mean!" Sawatari cut Yuya off and said, "Yes, I had Timegazer Magician in my hand since the beginning of the duel."
"Now set the Pendulum cards," Reiji commented.
"Huh?" Sawatari looked at his duel disk, "Set them. I set Pendulum Scale 1 Stargazer Magician."
Sawatari followed along, "I set Pendulum Scale 1 Stargazer Magician," Then both him and Reiji began to chant in unison, "And Scale 8 Timegazer Magician into the Pendulum zone!" Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician appeared in a blue light however there seemed to be a lack of an actual Pendulum.
"No way!" The three kids shouted.
"Yuya…" Yuzu looked at her Yuya with a look of worry, seeing Sage perform a Pendulum Summoning is one thing but seeing this greedy bastard do it is something else, and it pissed her off "I swear the moment this duel is over…" She muttered to herself.
Ruri was also worried but if Yuya was anything like Yuto he wasn't going to give up.
Both Yuya and Sage noticed that Stargazer and Timegazer had a sad shameful look on their faces, Odd-Eyes roared upon seeing his comrades, the two magicians eyes shifted towards the dragon as if to say, 'Don't worry about us. Focus on protecting Yuya and winning the duel.' The dragon roared in response, understanding the magicians' words.
"This is amazing! So this is Pendulum Summoning! With these set Pendulum scales I can summon monster 2 through 7. Pendulum Shokan! Come to me my monsters. Power Dart Shooter, Rocket Dark Shooter and Ultimate Dart Shooter!"
(Power Dart Shooter - Earth - Machine/Effect - Level 5 - 1800/700)
(Rocket Dart Shooter - Earth - Machine/Effect - Level 6 - 1900/100)
(Ultimate Dart Shooter - Earth - Machine/Effect - Level 7 - 2400/300)
"HAHAHA so this is the power of Pendulum!? I now see why you losers like having this power," Sawatiru commented.
Sage wasn't too shocked nor very interested in Sawatari performing a Pendulum summoning, 'Sawatari was definitely talking to somebody. If I was a betting man I'd say someone let Sawatari up…' The moment that thought hit Sage's mind his eyes widened, 'Hmmm I wonder…' Sage took out Majestic Nova, Ruri caught Sage at the corner of her eyes.
'What is he doing?' She watched as Sage muttered something to the card, 'Is he talking to his monster!?' She wondered, she saw him nod before placing the card back into his deck and looking back to the duel, 'What did he talk about…'
Yuya felt not only a massive blow to his pride, but just seeing his monster being used by somebody as underhanded as Sawatari rubbed him the wrong way, however despite all that Yuya stayed calm keeping a rather cheerful smile on his face. He wasn't going to let this himself get down, 'Sage must be rubbing off on me, I feel like I'm looking forward to this' He thought to himself before saying, "Good job using my monsters to Pendulum summon but none of them have higher ATK than my Odd-Eyes," Yuya commented.
"I believe you mean, good job at using my Pendulum cards, and that's not going to be a problem for long as I use Power Dart Shooter effect, by releasing it, I can target 1 'Dart' monster. I control that monster gains 600 ATK," Sawatari informed, "And my target is Ultimate Dart Shooter,"
(Ultimate Dart Shooter: 2400 + 600 = 3000)
"Oh no! The monster now has more ATK than Odd-Eyes now!" Tatsuya said.
"I'm starting to get bad shivers," Futoush commented.
'I know you're just a child but please stop saying that,' Sage thought in annoyances, 'But this is going to be interesting.'
"Battle!" Sawatari declared, "I attack Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon with Ultimate Dart Shooter!" Sawatari's ace monster fired rounds of darts like missiles at Odd-Eyes as he found an action card as he was riding Rocket Dart Shooter, "Soul Flame! My Ultimate Dart Shooter gains 500 ATK!"
(Ultimate Dart Shooter: 3000 + 500 = 3500)
Meanwhile Yuya, while riding on Odd-Eyes, was looking for action cards as well, "Found one!" Yuya grabbed the card and smiled, "Miracle! My Odd-Eyes isn't destroyed and the damage I take is halved!" Yuya declared.
"No action I negate your action card!" Sawatari said as he dart like missiles got closer as he smiled.
"Alright time for plan B!" Yuya said, "I send Entermate Odd-Eyes Golem from my extra deck to the GY to activate its effects! I protect my Odd-Eyes also cut all damage damage by half," Appearing in front of the dragon was a large rock like creature with dual colored eyes taking the hit, Odd-Eyes let out a roar in thanks.
(Yuya: 4000 - 1000/2 = 3500)
"Then I can add 1 'Odd-Eyes' Monster from my deck to my hand," Yuya announced as he did just that.
Sawatari clicked his tongue, "I end my turn." He was livid, as far as he knew Yuya's power was way beyond his calations, 'The president said that he's just some random nobody who doesn't even have a 50% win rate. He shouldn't be this good.'
(Ultimate Dart Shooter: 3500 - 500 - 600 = 2400)
(Yuya: 4000 Hand: 3)
(Sawatari: 2900 Hand: 3)
"Alright Ore no turn!" Yuya drew this card and his smile grew bigger Yuya as the lights in the city dimmed and a spotlight appeared over Yuya, "Ladies and Gentlemen! It is now time for the finale of this duel!"
"It's time for Yuya's Entermate Dueling!" Ayu shouted as she and the rest were super excited.
"Ohhh this is going to be fun," Sage commented, eager to see what his little bud could do.
"Alright first I shall set the Pendulum scales!" Yuya began as he took two cards from his hand, "I shall now set Pendulum scale 1 Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon and scale 8 Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon!" The two monsters appeared in Yuya's Pendulum zone with a giant Pendulum swing back and forth.
"What!? You had more Pendulum monsters?" Sawaturi asked in shock.
"Of course I do. An entertainer should always have a backup just in case the main stars cannot make an appearance," Yuya explained, "But now Swing my Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an Arc across the either! PENDULUM SHOKAN! Come forth my monsters! I summon Entermate Bot-Eyes Lizard and Entermate Odd-Eyes Phoenix!"
(Entermate Bot-Eyes Lizard - Earth - Riptile/Effect - Level 4 - 1600/1200)
(Entermate Odd-Eyes Phoenix - LIGHT - Winged-Beast/Pendulum/Effect -Scale 3 - Level 5 - 2000/1000)
"I will like to turn your attention to Entermate Bot-Eyes Lizard! Once per turn I can declare the name of one Odd-Eyes monster and this card is treated as that monster. And the monster I declare is Odd-Eyes Dragon!" The Bot-Eyed Lizard transformed into his original Ace's form with the two Odd-Eyes monsters roaring together.
Yuzu felt a small smile seeing Odd-Eyes dragon it feels like it's been forever since she's seen Odd-Eyes Dragon.
"Now I'll releash Odd-Eyes Dragon and Entermate Odd-Eyes Pheonix. Dazzling Dragon shine your way throughout the Darkness of despair! Appear Level 7! Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon!"
(Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon - LIGHT - Dragon/Effect - Level 7 - 2800/2000)
Appearing was a Dragon who looked a lot like the original Odd-Eyes expect with silver colored armor, "That dragon looks soo cool!" Tatsuya exclaimed.
"Shivers!" Futoshi shouted.
Sage for the first time gained a shocked look, "Okay I was not expecting that,"
"Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon attack his Rocket dart shooter!" The LIGHT dragon monster shot a beam of energy just as Sawatari grabbed an action card, "Action Magic Protection! This protects my monster be destuestion once!"
"But you still take the damage!" Yuya shouted as the shockwave blew Sawatari back a bit.
(Sawatari: 2900 - 900 = 2000)
"Action Magic: Wonder chance," Yuya grabbed an card card thanks to Odd-Eyes, "Now Odd-Eyes Saber can attack again!,"
With no action card around him Sawatari couldn't stop his monster from behing destoryed.
(Sawatari: 2500 - 900 = 1900)
Nor could he stop what happened afterwards, "At this moment Odd-Eyes Saber Dragons effect activates, I can destroy 1 monster my opponent controls! And I'm destroying your..." Yuya was about to destroy Ultimate Dart Shooter but then he looked at the remaing cards in his hand, "Power Dart shooter!"
"Damnit!" He cursed before smirking, "You may have destroyed my monsters but you won't be able to defeat me,"
"I wouldn't be so sure," Yuya said wagging his fingers, "I've shown you one evoltuon of my Odd-Eyes but today will be the debute of two!" Yuya announced as Odd-Eyes Pendulum and Odd-Eyes Sabar roared loudly together, "I activate the quick-play Magic quick summon! This card allowed me to Normal summon!" Yuya jumped off of Odd-Eyes Pendulum and onto Odd-Eyes Saber as a torrent of flames surrouned Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, "Dragon with wonderful dual colored eyes! Unleash your burning might into the world! ADVACNED SHOKAN! Come forth! Level 8! Odd-Eyes Advanced Dragon!"
The flames despoered as a new verson of Odd-Eyes with wings bursted out of the flames letting out a loud roar.
Yuzu's eyes whined, she didn't expected Yuya to summon two new versons of his Odd-Eyes during the turn no less. She also releashed that the gab between her and Yuya has grown even deeper now.
"So you evoloed your Ace monster so what?" Sawatari said arrganetly.
"This dual is over that's what! Odd-Eyes Advacne Dragon's effect! If summoned by relealsing using a Level 5 or higher I can destroy 1 monster my opponent controls then you take damage equal to that monster's ATK!" Yuya said.
"What no!" The arragent duelist shouted.
"Odd-Eyes do it! Blazing Force!" The Advacne Dragon fired a sprial a flames that destroyed Sawatari's monster but also dropped his life to 0
(Sawatari: 1900 - 2400 = 0)
(Winner Yuya!)
The action field around them disappeared Sage walked up, as Sawatari laid on his stomach after the attack from Odd-Eyes and took out his deck, "I'll be taking what belongs to my friend," He commented as he gave them back to Yuya.
"Welcome back you two," Yuya commented with a smile as he heard Odd-Eyes let out a roar in happyness to have his friends back where they belong, "I knew something as up, sorry for giving you two to a third rate duelist."
Sage saw Stargazer and Timegazer smiling in front of Yuya bowing to him before disappearing, "That was amazing," The kids shouted as they ran up to Yuya.
"You did really well Yuya," Yuzu commented as Yuya smiled and lightly blushed, "Glad you liked it Yuzu. I tried my best."
"Aggg fine," The group turned to Sawatari who was getting up, "If I can't win them fairly I'll take them!"
Sage glared and was about to take action when he saw something flying towards Sawatari knocking him out once again, "And you call yourself a Duelist!? Take your defeat with pride at least," The kid said to the knocked out Sawatari before looking at Yuya and the group.
"Ummmm who are you?" Yuya asked.
"My name is Sora Shinun," The kid greeted.
"Huh so you were the kid that was watching the duel right?" Sage questioned.
"Yeah I was and it was so cool." Sora said, smiling.
"Thanks, glad you enjoyed it," Yuya replied, "So do you want anything?"
"Yeah! I was planning on joining LSD but after seeing how you duel I wanna join You Show!" Sora excalmed.
"Shinzo is going to be super excited to hear that for sure," Sage remarked with a slight chuckle.
'Huh wait those clothes they look like,' Ruri began to feel slightly comfortable, she hoped that wasn't the case.
"Hey Little Bird you okay there?" Sage asked.
Ruri snapped out of her thoughts, "Huh yeah I'm fine," Sage narrowed his eyes for a small bit before he crossed his arms looking upwards.
Sage was now chilling out in bed deep in thought, 'Man Yuya summoning Saber Dragon and advanced dragon was so awesome, His potential when it comes to dueling is limitless. I can wait to see what he'll do next,' Sage smiled, began to drift off be he heard a 'Master.'
'Huh?' He fully opened his eyes as she saw one of his ace monster's, 'Galaxy?' He wasn't expecting to be seeing her.
'Greeting master,' Galaxy said in a very calm tone before bowing politely, Sage could help but smile. Out of all his monster she was the most formal out of all of them.
"So what's up? I remember Odd-Eyes and Majestic telling me that you and Star where trying to help recover my memories. Did something happen?"
"Well I guess you could say that." Galaxy began, "While me and Star were trying to fine something from each other, seeing as we're always together so any memories that you have we'll most likey have too. However it feels like something is activity stopping us from trying to regain these memories, and thus we couldn't really recover anything that we didn't already know or that was very... I guess you could say staticy."
"So something like a Magical Firewall?" Sage retorted in which Galaxy nodded in response, "Hmm, so somebody doesn't want us to remember our pass? But why thought?"
"I also asked myself that question. However that is to say that we didn't come on with nothing. We managed to slightly crack the firewall and got something out of this whole thing."
"Oh really? Let me hear what you found out," Sage replied.
"Well it isn't much but... We heard what sounds like names."
"Names you say? Is it anybody we've met so far?" Sage questioned.
Galaxy shook her head, "No not of the people we met share the names with these people."
"Okay well what are the names don't leave me hanging."
"Zarc and Ray," Galaxy answered.
"Zarc? Ray?" Sage had a major confused look on his face, "Zarc and Ray...?" Sage had to repeat the names out loud, however, "Yeah I'm drawing a major blank," He felt a small ominous shiver, "Thanks for the information but yeah beside maybe some familiarly nothing."
"Same goes for us," Galaxy retorted.
"Is that so? Anything else?" Sage asked.
Galaxy shook her head, 'No that's all we gotten' She told him with a look of disappointment.
Sage took out her card and hugged it, not caring how weird it looked, "Hey don't look so down, you tired hard and got something. Thank you I appreciate the help a lot," Sage gave her a warm smile.
Galaxy couldn't help but smile back at her master, 'It's my pleasure to help you master," Galaxy once again bowed, 'I know you already have a lot on your mind with your friends and all so I'll let you rest,' She commented, Sage was about to place her into his deck when, 'Oh right before I forget. I'd like to tell you that Star and I are now freely available for battle now.' She informed.
Sage eyes winded, 'Wait really!? Yes, now I have all of my aces!' Sage said with a fist pump.
'Yes yes well good night my master. Sweet dreams,' Galaxy told him before turning into an orb and going into her card with Sage placing her back into the deck.
Sage was about to head to sleep as his mind thought about it these Zarc and Ray people 'Maybe I should try fine them.' However Sage full knew that trying two people, especially when he didn't even know what they looked like, would be like trying to find a nedeel in a haystack. Plus Sage wasn't very interested in his past in the first place, sure he would like to learn it, but not but all of his effort into it. Suddenly Sage remembered something Yuya mentioned, the Maimi championship. 'That's it!" Sage shouted mentally. Maybe he could fine this Zarc and Ray person at the Tournament! He was going to enter anyways and if those people watch the tournament or are dueling in the tournament then he could meet them or they could find him. It was a win win the prefect plan. Sage couldn't help but fall asleep smiling at that thought.
Within the spirit realm, a place where duel monsters are when they're not in the human realm, Galaxy arrived in a room with a round table and a space like roof and a Pendulum similar to that of the Pendulum seen when Yuya and Sage Pendulum summons swinging back in forth along with magical decorations throughout the room, around the table was four chairs all different colors and designs. Sitting in one of the chairs, which was covered with different plants, was her older twin sister, and the oldest out of all of Sage's ace monsters Starlight who had her feet on the table and hands behind her head. Looking up Starlight gained a small smile, "You got back quick,"
Galaxy sat down in her chair crossing her legs, "It wasn't like I had much to tell in the first place Starlight." Galaxy retorted in a frustrated tone.
"Calm down sis, Sage is a smart cookie even with the little info that we managed to get I'm sure that we'll figure it out as time goes along," Starlight said.
Galaxy let out a small sigh, "Yeah I know," she should know better then to worry but she just wishes that she could have more to tell him, "In any case, I did tell him that we're ready for battle now." Galaxy informed.
"Awesome! I can finally get to bashing in some skulls." Starlight commented, punching her fist into the palm of her hand, "I've been feeling restless ever since we got to this place!" She always enjoyed a good battle no matter the person or monster she was fighting. Starlight placed her hands back behind her head before saying, "Anyways, I did what you asked and got a head count while you were out. We're all accounted for, with a few extras."
"Extras?" Galaxy asked with a raised eyebrow, she was so focused on helping Sage that she didn't notice any new faces.
"Yeah it seems that a few new Magical Girls made their way into our Spirit camp," Starlight informed offhandly, "And don't ask me how they got here either because when I asked the newbies said that they just appeared here all of a sudden."
"Hmmm well I don't see a problem with some extra hands on deck," Galaxy commented, causing Starlight to laugh at her sister's accidental pun.
"Yeah I thought the same thing, plus I'm sure Odd-Eyes will show them the ropes." Starlight said.
"Speaking of Odd-Eyes, where is she? And Majestic Nova as well." Galaxy questioned.
Starlight began tapping the bottom of her lip trying to remember where her two younger twins were at, "Hmmm I think she and Majestic went off to sleep, but knowing Odd-Eyes she's most likely still gushing about her new Dragon friend's new form or whatever."
Galaxy narrowed her eyes upon mention of that dragon, "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon…" She muttered to herself, there was something about that dragon that made her tense, "I wanna go and talk to that dragon myself sooner or later."
"Same honestly. That Dragon seemed to not only know Sage but our Odd-Eyes as well. Not only that but their powers are very similar to each other which has also caught my eye. If that dragon is anywhere near as strong as our Odd-Eyes it's a foe worthy of battle."
Galaxy rolled her eyes at her blood knight of a twin, it was hard to believe that they were related, "I don't think that our Odd-Eyes will appreciate you fighting her new friend,"
Starlight let out a small scoff as she took her feet off the table and got up, "Well I don't know about you but Imma head to sleep. Night Sis." Starlight gave her younger twin a two finger salute walking off.
Galaxy watched as Starlight went into her room as she got up herself, to head to her own room. Looking forward to when she'll be useful for master during battle, while she wouldn't admit believing to be the most mature out of the four, she was getting really restless as well wanting to be apart of her masters duels and to, as Starlight put it, bash in some skulls. Galaxy couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at her childish thoughts, "Well as they say I guess the fun is about to begin,"
~End~
A/N: How did you guys like the chapter? Once again I feel like it wasn't my best no where near. Anyways do you guys feel like I made Yuya too overpowered? I'd planned to make him stronger then he was in canon Arc-V but I feel like I overdid it. And yes both Yuya and Sage will continue use action cards a lot because I like action cards. Expect some minor SageXRuri in the furture, while I'll be mainly shipping Sage with Serena because of course I am, writen Sage and Ruri interacting is really fun. I hope you guys don't mind that I gave Ruri a very teasing and playful side to her. Anyways I'll still wanna to get better so please R&R. Also I need cards for Rin as she's going to appear soon.
