Whew boy... this summer heat is a scorcher... sorry this one took two weeks but ti's kind of a slog getting through canon duelling and writing it up, I think what I done is more than liekly shot myself in the foot for including these but gotta be that perfectionist and make this Redux a better story than its predacessor... hahaha... ha... Just two more to go through with Yuya vs Sawatari and Kurosaki vs Sora for the preliminary rounds.

Lets get answering to some of the reviews then!

Narutoxasuna25 – I have noted your first reveiw of Chapter 4 was intended for another story, I unfortunately am unable to remove it due it being your registered account and not a Guest one, I think the animator's intentions were that Yuya's style of duelling was remain fun and innocent, proving the game doesn't need to be used for warfare, it's only during the debut of Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon that Yuya's personality shifts to one that doesn't care about that as Zarc resurfaces, the intention was likely to say nothing will remain innocent for very long.

Emiyaryo - Thank you!

Lucario-badass - Duly noted!

T-wrecks13 - That remains to be seen! Cubics never did a good enough effect explanation during the dub of DsoD, but wait and see what occurs in the future.

Abyssleondias – Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon will definitely make an appearance! Though probably not as frequently due its effects considering what it takes to just bring one down, I'll likely try and figure some way so Haruto isn't overpowered and solely relying on that specific card or make the opponent's be able to handle it without losing too much.


I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V or any of its characters, be they existing or appearing in future episodes, I do own any of the cards of the Yu-Gi-Oh Card Game except when having purchased said cards from booster packs or structure decks, I do not own any of the Openings or Endings of Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V be they existing or in future episodes, if I did own any of these things, I d probably suck at advancing the plot.


Born from the discovery of implementing mass into Solid Vision, Action Duels! Duels where the field, monsters and the Duelists become one, pulls the crowd into the maelstrom of crazed excitement!

[Play Yu-Gi-Oh Opening 2, Burn!]

Rettsu sutāto! Isshun no senkō kara!
(Let's start! From a flash of light!)

A close up of just only Haruto's face looking to the right before the camera zoomed out to show his upper body as behind him was a red background and a silhouette of Red-Eyes appearing for a brief moment before changing completely in a pattern of white lines.

Rettsu faindo! Sō, boku ga iku beki Wei
(Let's find! Yeah, the way I should go)

The next short was of Yuzu looking to the left as the camera panned back, showing a pinkish purple scheme and her bracelet flashing for a brief moment.

Rettsu sutāto! Otanoshimi wa kore kara
(Let's start! The fun has just begun)

Yuya has his head lowered before he brought it up, pulling back his goggles to place on his forehead as he had a green background and his pendant swayed from side to side.

Redī gō! Riaru no maku ake
(Ready go! Open reality's curtain!)

Haruto, Yuya and Yuzu stood within the stands of entrance way to the Stadium's grounds then the camera zoomed in behind them and then rotated around so it faced the three as they each had a smile before the camera zoomed out to show the vast space of the Duel Stadium that was jam-packed with attendees as confetti was falling from the sky.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V
Red-Eyes Redux

Kitai, fuan no mirai ga ima ugokidasu
(My future, full of worries and expectations is starting now!)

Haruto's duel disk was on standby and he moved to get ready for a duel but paused as Yuya, Yuzu, Gogenzaka approached him from all sides and Haruto had to sheepishly put his hand behind his head, looking ashamed.

Tashika na negai ga koko ni aru kara Donto wōrī
(But I've defintiely got my wish with me, so don't worry!)

The group turned around to see the various competitors all looking ready to duel.

Akogareta ano hi mezashite boku wa tatakau
(Aiming for that day I've always dreamed of, I'll fight)

Haruto drawn a card and placed it on his Duel Disk as a flash of white occurred and surrounding him was Red-Eyes , Red-Eyes Black Dragon, his Gemini Counterpart, Red Eyes Black Flare Dragon, Summoned Skull and it's counterpart, Red Eyes Archfiend of Lightning.

Kirameku tsuyosa ga Kādo ni yadoru
(With sparkling strength residing in the cards!)

Haruto gave a smile before it cut away to reveal him flying on Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon's back, soaring into the clear blue skies with clouds underneath the two

Appu/Daun wo kurikaeshi nagara
(Through the repeating ups and downs)

The LSD top ranking students, Sawatari, Shun, Sora, Reira and Reiji from the bottom up to the top, posing before it zoomed in Reiji's glasses, causing a lens to brighten up and reveal a silhouette.

Fīru Itto! Kodō ga Ba,Ba,Ba,Bān!
(Feel it! My heartbeart's Bu-Bu-Bu-Burn!)

The scene changed to Duel Monsters cards falling as a silhouette figure looked on ominously behind a glass window and the cards seemingly absorbed into a machine.

Furikitta genkai wo mata norikoete boku wa tsuyoku naru
(I break away and surpass my limits again! I'll get even stronger!)

Haruto was riding Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon as Yuya was flying upwards on Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon pulled back it's head to fire upon Odd-Eyes but Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon appeared to block the attack as Yuto briefly appeared. In front of it before jumping out of shot.

Akirametaku wa nai kara
(Because I don't want to give up!)

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon came flying at Haruto who immediately placed a car don his active Duel Disk and Red Eyes Archfiend of Lightning emerged from the clouds.

Kasoku suru kaze ni notte mukaerunda
(I ride the ever-accelerating winds and head forth!)

A white silhouetted dragon appeared behind a white Duel Runner riding towards the screen and drifted in full 360 as it slowed down to reveal a young man's face under the green visor of his helmet.

Ashita sura ito'oshikunaru hodo no boku no yume
(Towards my dream that makes me look forward to tomorrow!)

Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning and Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragons clashed with their claws before causing an explosion as Odd-Eyes and Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon simultaneously let loose a dragon breath which met in mid-collision, causing an even bigger explosion.

Ano kumo wo tsukinukete mabushī yume wo aozora ni egakō
(I'll break through those clouds, and draw my dazzling dream across the blue skies)

It cleared away to reveal Yuya waving the smoke away before hanging on to his Ace Monster as a rocket comes out of nowhere from the clouds and Kurosaki crossing his arms on his Raid Raptor, blasting off into the distance, unfazed by the propulsion of Raid Raptors – Rise Falcon or losing his blance.

Rettsu sutāto! Isshun no senkō kara
(Let's start! From a flash of light!)

Haruto stood upon a pillar and gave a smile as before him was Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon, Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning and a Red-Eyes B. Chick, facing off against a ambiguous silhouette.

Rettsu faindo! Sō, boku ga iku beki Wei
(Let's find! Yeah, the way I should go)

The You Show Duel School were cheering on as Yuya and Sawari were duelling a destoryed old village, enjoying themselves..

Rettsu sutāto! Otanoshimi wa kore kara
(Let's start! The fun has just begun)

Yuzu and her opponent Masumi also enjoying themselves in a maze of high walkways as Yuzu held a blank Fusion Monster card.

Redī gō! Riaru no maku ake
(Ready go! Open reality's curtain!)

Yuya leapt from from the sky and landed on the Maiami Duel Championship logo as his past opponents along with Yuzu, Gongenzaka,, Yoko, Shuzo, and Haruto, all looking up at the screen.


Chapter 5
Steadfast Beliefs!

Episode 30

-Maiami City, Gongenzaka Dojo-

The sun shone brightly as it did yesterday as a new day was now underway, Gongenzaka sat cross-legged within his family dojo, eyes shut as he was topless, revealing his rather muscular body for a male of 14 years of age, on his shoulders were what appeared to steaming rice balls with presumably charcoal on top of them however, it did not bother him in the slightest with traces of sweat beading down the sides of his face as he retained his calm composure, his thoughts occupied.

"My first opponent is my former senior disciple, Ankokuji Gen! Not only did he humiliate Yuya, but he dissented against the teachings of the Steadfast Dojo and left disgracefully!" Gongenzaka thought, recalling the moment Gen left the Dojo in laughter as he opened his eyes.

"I cannot lose this match!" Gongenzaka cried out as a fiery aura surrounded his being with a faint silhouette of a demonic statue before it dispersed as the sliding wooden doors to the dojo came of their hinges with Gongenzaka's father being the cause.

"That's what I want to hear!" Gongenzaka's father said in an approving tone and Gongenzaka stared at his father. "Father!" as the former brought out a long black sash that somehow shone for a second when he spread it out to show its length. "Noboru! As you tighten this new sash, you must also temper and tighten your Steadfast spirit in preparation for this next battle!"

Within mere moments, Gongenzaka was fully dressed as he tightened the new black sash over his body and begun to leave. "Understood!"

-Maiami Stadium-

"Maiami Championship! A festival of Duelists and a gateway to becoming a Pro Duelist! Now, all of their burning feelings gather here!" The announcer called out as Yuya was standing in the the front entrance, arms crossed. "After Haruto and Yuzu's victories yesterday, now its finally my turn! Gongenzaka, Sora and I will all win and get to go to the next round!" Yuya thought, thinking about his friends and was pretty confident until someone ran into him, the shock of the collision making Yuya fall over on his behind

"Ouch!" Yuya groaned as he landed on his behind and looked to see who the culprit, it was an everyday average young male with quite literally the baldest head ever, dressed in a navy blue school uniform as he noted the white sash, lying nearby, it clearly was in his possession before the collision took place his facial expression beign one of concern. "That's the young master's... Gongenzaka Noboru sash for today's match!"

Yuya turned to looked at the white sash before another navy blue uniformed male ran over, bending forward to pick up the sash, he wasn't as bald as the previous male but has more or less a dark pink mohawk with a ponytail.

"Hold it!" Yuya called out, forcing himself back up on his feet to run after the culprit as Haruto, Yuzu, Sora, Tatsuya, Ayu, Futoshi and Shuzo were running as a group to where Yuya previously stood, seeing him running out the entrance at full speed after someone.

"Huh... guess he's chasing someone at full speed." Tatsuya said in confusion as the glass doors closed and Haruto tilted his head slightly. "Well... it's not like Yuya would miss out on Gongenzaka's match right? Maybe it was something important he needed to check out or forgot? By the way, when does it start?" Haruto asked Yuzu.

Yuzu looked at the time. "Oh no! Its soon, hopefully Yuya will be back shortly, today's his match as well!" Yuzu said worryingly and Haruto put a hand on her shoulder as Yuzu felt her worries lessen. "Relax, there's no way Yuya would miss out on something as important as his own match, he can't be that airheaded?" Haruto asked and Yuzu nodded.

"Right... lets get to our seats..." Yuzu said as the group headed for the stands to take their seats as the huge holographic visage of Nico Smiley just formed, holding his mic. "My dear audience! Thank you for coming to see the even more exciting second day of the Tournament!" Now lets introduce our Duelists for our first match of the day! While he doesn't belong to any school, this Duelist qualified for the Junior Youth Championship with a six-game win streak! Ankokuji Gen! His opponent is the successor to the Steadfast Duelling style of the Gongenzaka Dojo, Gongenzaka Noboru!" Nico called out.

Stepping out onto the large black flat arena was indeed the very same youth who Haruto faced not two days ago while Gongenzaka emerged from the other size with one notable difference that he wasn't wearing a white sash but rather, a black one as he has his arms crossed, showing his back to Gen.

"That's a nice sash you have there! Did you get that from your father?" Gen asked as Gongenzaka responded. "The master of our dojo gives us a new sash before a pivotal match! This is a tradition of the Gongenzaka Dojo!"

Gen raised an eyebrow slightly while still retaining his big intimidating smile. "Well, I've taken a little advantage of that so-called tradition." Gen said and Gongenzaka answered in surprise. "What?" as Nico continued.

"Lets start off by selecting the Action Field!" Nico said, gesturing up tot he sky where the enlarged Action Card begun to spun around, going faster and faster before revealing it was an isolated island out in the ocean with a mountain. "Action Field: Solitary Island in a Faraway Sea is activated!"

A shower of rainbows begun to encompass the stage before materializing into a lush jungle with a huge oval clearly with many pillars jutting out with somewhat interconnected vines while one side of the island had a sheer cliff drop, it truly was as it stated on the card.

"A dense forest huh? What a coincidence, I'm sure your dear friend is inside a forest right now too..." gen muttered as Gongenzaka fully turned around. "What was that!?" before his eyes widened. "You... bastard! How could you use such an underhanded tactic!" Gongenzaka asked asked angrily, clenching his fist.

"What's this? What happened to your unshakable spirit? You're already shaking with rage! That's all your so-called Steadfast spirit is worth, using any methods in order to win, that's what the truly strong do! That's why I cut my ties with the Gongenzaka Dojo!" Gen stated as Gongenzaka lowered his head slightly. "Damn you!"

"I wonder if Sakaki Yuya is alight...?" Gen asked and pointed at Gongenzaka who gasped as he continued. "If you want to save him, then you'd better hurry up and defeat me! Or are you going to spout some crap about your friend being more important than this match and surrender right now?" Gen asked.

"Jeez... where did Yuya go off too, that match has already started!" Yuzu asked herself as she attempted to call him which was answered. "Yuzu? Tell Gongenzaka not to worry! Let him know that I'll definitely get his sash back!" Yuya's voice came from her inactive Duel Disk

"Eh? Sash?" Yuzu asked in a confused tone before her attention was redirected to the field as Gongenzaka stabbed his geta shoes into the ground with a stomp. "On my honor of my dojo, I cannot surrender without a fight?" Gongenzaka declared as Gen did the same. "Then struggle all you want!"

"DUEL!"

Gen: 4000
Gongenzaka: 4000

"I'll be going first. I summon Granite Battleguard in ATK mode!" Gen said as with a flash of light was an dark-blue skinned ogre wielding a mace club as it was draped in a dark blue cloth, growling. While it's wrists and anklets were covered in a rather thick dark brown fur.

Granite Battleguard – (LV 3/1000/1200)

"When this card is successfully Summoned, I can Special Summon Boulder Battleguard from my hand and I set one card and end my turn!" Gen said as coming up beside Granite was now a rotund dark orange ogre wearing a dark purple sash over his right side, wielding the same mace as his fellow monster as well as fur accessories.

Boulder Battleguard (LV 4/1200/1500)

"Now this is a throwback for me! These are the monsters Strong Ishijima used!" Nico stated with bursting excitement.

"Now it's your turn! If you don't hurry up, your friend will be beaten to a pulp!" Gen taunted and Haruto looked on, he did feel a bead of sweat from down the side of his face. "Could those guys Yuya was chasing be..." Haruto thought with genuine concern.

"I was already planning to defeat you with one attack! My turn!" Gongenzaka drawn with such ferocity , it created a strong gust of wind. "When there are two or more monsters on my opponent's field, I can Special Summon this card from my hand! Come forth! Superheavy Samurai Big Wara-G!"

Appearing in front of Gongenzaka was a yellow armoured humanoid without any arms or legs with what appeared to be a green restraining chassis as its red eyes gazed upon the enemy

Superheavy Samurai Big Wara-G (LV 5/800/1800)

"Big Wara-G can used as a double tribute! I offer Wara-G in order to Normal Summon Superheavy Samurai Big Ben-K in Defense Mode!" Gongenzaka stated as Superheavy Samurai Big Wara-G transformed into green light before reforming into a gigantic humanoid decked out in metal armor quite similar to a samurai motif with its chest having temperature gauges while it's obi or rather sash around it's waist extended upwards upon the monster's back and pointed outwards, like exhaust funnels as its weapon was notable a large spear.

Superheavy Samurai Big Ben-K (LV 8/1000/3500)

"And it's here! Superheavy Samurai Big Ben-K can be summoned in face-up Defense Position!" Nico exclaimed while Tatsuya spoke with enthusiasm. "And Big Ben-K can also attack using it's 3500 DEF!" as Haruto's eyes widened.

"Wait.. seriously!?" Haruto asked, his tone matching his expression as he looked at Superheavy Samurai Big Ben-K. "Wow... a monster battling using its DEF points and at 3500? That's almost impossible to beat!" Haruto added in awe.

"It can out either one of those Battleguards in one hit!" Ayu stated, raising her rigth up with a fist pump as Futoshi shivered in his seat. "Shivers!" but Sora piped up. "But it looks like he won't be ending it in one attack though"

"When there are no Magic or Trap cards in my Graveyard, by sending one Superheavy Samurai monster to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon this card! I Special Summon the Level 2 Tuner Monster, Superheavy Samurai Horaga-E in DED Mode!" Gongenzaka stated, dicarding a card as before him appeared a small humanoid metal samurai just like his predecessor decked out in mostly orange armor and what one could say was an wok as it's head while it blew into a seashell like trumpet before expertly twirling it before shouldering the item.

Superheavy Samurai Horaga-E (LV 2/300/600)

"Here it is, the Tuner monster!" Ayu said excitedly as Tatsuya nodded. "He can tune that with Big Ben-K and..." as Ayu finished it off. "With a Synchro Summon!"

"Naïve!" Gen said, activating his face down card. "I activate my Trap! Battleguard's Curse!" Flames erupted behind Gen's Battleguards before they started dancing left to right like it was a ritual of some kind. "When I control a Battleguard monster and you control two or more monsters, I can take control of one of those monsters!" gen said as Gongenzaka's eyes widened. "What!?" as Gen smiled. "I'll be taking Horaga-E!"

Horaga-E disappeared from Gongenzaka's side of the field and reappeared on Gen's side, doing the same dance as he laughed, pointing at Gongenzaka "I already researched that you won your way here using Synchro Summoning! Matches aren't only decided within the field! Anything could be happening outside of this field right now." Gen said, giving a upset expression before turning intimidating. "If you don't hurry up and go, who knows what will happen to your beloved friend?"

"Damn it... Yuya..." Gongenzaka muttered to himself and continued. "Battle! I attack Granite Battle with Big Ben-K!"

Superheavy Samurai Big ben-K's eyes glowed before punching the solid ground, causing a fire eruption to head straight towards Granite Battleguard as Gen intervened. "I activate Boulder Battleguard's effect! Once per turn in the Battle Phase, it can negate an attack directed at a Battleguard monster!"

Granite Battleguard moved in front of its companion and started to rapidly spin its club like a fan, dispersing the flames with ease as Gongenzaka grunted with Ayu speaking up. "The attack got cancelled!" as Gongenzaka punched the ground on one knee. "Damn it! I don't have time for this!"

"What now? Are you frustrated? Are you panicking? You got betrayed by your beloved monster and you don't know what's happening to your beloved friend! So... Of course you'd be panicking... I bet he's thinking that you've betrayed him right now! Even though he believed you'd come save for sure, but you won't!" Gen stated as Gongenzaka punched the ground again.

"That's it! Suffer more! Panic even more! The more you panic, the more your spirit is sullied! Along with your Duelling" Gen thought and continued. "I'll prove to you right now just how fragile your Steadfast Duelling is!"

"Gongenzaka!" Yuzu's voice came from the sidelines as Gongenzaka looked to see her though the foliage. "Believe in Yuya! Yuya told me to tell you not to worry about him! And that he'll definitely get your sash back and bring it to you!"

"Yuya did?" Gongenzaka asked as Yuzu continued. "Yuya isn't the same as before! He can fight on his own!" Yuzu claled out as Gongenzaka's father stood beside her. "Noboru! Right now is the time for a Steadfast spirit! Believe in your friend as well as yourself!"

"Father..." Gongenzaka said before hearing gen laugh and turned to him. "So they got in contact with him? It's so pitiful when that weakling acts like he's something else!" Gen stated as Gongenzaka rose back up before stamping his foot once more. "He is no longer... a weakling! Yuya will definitely come back! Yuzu is right, Yuya isn't the same as he was three years ago... Now that I know Yuya's resolve, my spirit will waver no more! I will follow my Duelling ways! I end my turn with this!" Gongenzaka stated with a loud cry.

"Believe in him?! People betray others! Just like your monster betrayed you! My turn!" Gen drawn his card and continued. "I offer all three of my monsters and summon Battleguard Mad Shaman from my hand!"

All three monsters were released into a multitude of colours before transforming into pure yellow streak of energy that shot upwards and curved in the sky before crashing back down behind Gen as from it appeared a purple skinned humanoid with a bone mack and dark purple half cut top and skirt while it danced from side to side almost as if it was unhinged while it's hands were literally fossil dinosaur bones.

Battleguard Mad Shaman (LV 10/2000/1000)

"A monster requiring three sacrifices? That means..." Haruto begun to say as Sora finished it for him. "It has got to have something to it." Sora smiled, licking his candy cane.

"Here we go! I activate Battleguard Mad Shaman's effect! Once per turn, I can take control of an opponent's monster! The monster I'll be taking control of is, of course, Big Ben-K!" gen stated as Mad Shaman sent out a vibrating noise as Big Ben-K vanished from one side to the other.

"There's nothing worth believing in this world! Realize that as you take Big Ben-K's attack! Battle! I make a direct attack with Big Ben-K!" Gen stated as Big Ben-K's eye glowed before punching the ground again as a fire eruption heading straight for Gongenzaka.

"if he takes that attack head-on like that...!" Tatsuya said as Gongenzaka crossed his arms to brace himself as he was literally pushed back quite a distance, through the surrounding forest and coming to barely a dead stop on the precarious cliff side as Gongenzaka struggled to remain standing before falling to one knee.

Gen: 4000
Gongenzaka: 500

"That one must have hurt! 3500 damage all at once!" Nico proclaimed as Shuzo called out. "Are you all right, Gongenzaka!?" as Yuzu muttered quietly. "Gongenzaka..." as Haruto was sharing the same concerned look on her face. "Why didn't he go for an Action Card?" Haruto asked, looking to Yuzu.

"Because Haruto... Gongenzaka's deck relies on there being no Magic or Trap cards in his Graveyard to make it work.." Yuzu shared, turning to Haruto who stared back at her in surprise. "You mean... that's his entire deck!? Just Monsters!?" Haruto said in surprise, turning to look at Gongenzaka's state as Yuzu nodded slightly. "Yes."

Gen walked at a casual stride towards the cliff side, chuckling a bit before speaking. "So you managed to stop yourself at the edge of the cliff? The next attack is game over!" Gen stated as Gongenzaka attempted to stand up straight. "Standing up is a waste of time! You're going to take Battleguard Mad Shaman's attack and plunge into the ocean behind you! No matter how much you believe in him, your friend isn't coming!"

"Yuya will come! I believe it!" Gongenzaka stated as Gen answered back. "Then go ahead and believe all you want! Battle! I attack Gongenzaka directly with Battleguard Mad Shaman! Finish him!"

Battleguard Mad Shaman broke into a breakneck run, charging at Gongenzaka. "At this moment, I banish Superheavy Samurai Glo-V from my Graveyard! I draw a card from my Deck and if that card is a Superheavy Samurai monster, I can make my opponent's monster ATK points 0!" Gongenzaka closed his eyes before drawing and opened his eyes, glancing to what he drawn before his hand became wreathed in flames and delivered a karate chop, grazing the side of Mad Shaman's skull as he side stepped as the monster's ATK turned to 0.

"I believe... Yuya will come!" Gongenzaka stated as the side graze shattered one of Mad Shaman's bracelets but in the exchanging blow, Gongenzaka's black sash came loose and fallen to the ground as mad Shaman leapt back to his master side. "No matter what happens, my spirit that believes in my friend will never be shaken!" Gongenzaka firmly added.

"You just got lucky... that's all! But as long as I have Big Ben-K here, you can't attack Mad Shaman because of its effect! Also, Mad Shaman can only take control of one monster, but if you happen to Summon a stronger monster than Big Ben-K next turn, he can swap Big Ben-K for that one! So basically, you have no way to win! I end my turn here!" Gen confidently stated.

"The sash that my father gave me for this battle... But that's not what I need right now!" Gongenzaka said, glancing to the torn sash and started to reach for his deck before Yuya's voice came from the stands. "Gongenzaka!"

Haruto along with the other turned to see Yuya standing triumphantly standing in one of the many entrances to stands, holding up a white sash. "Yuya!" Everyone collectively said as one as Gongenzaka had a corner smile. "You're here?" Gongenzaka asked in a loud voice.

"Sorry for the wait! Catch this!" Yuya thrown the white sash as Gongenzaka caught it. "Yuya! I got the sash from you! I believed. And you came! This is now my sash for victory!" Gongenzaka said as he tied it onto his body.

"My turn!" Gongenzaka drawn his card and glanced to the card. "I Normal Summon the Level 2 Tuner Monster, Superheavy Samurai Tama-C from my hand" Gongenzaka stated as appearing in front of him was a small orange armoured rotund steampunk warrior with an equally sized spear in his hand.

Superheavy Samurai Tama-C (LV 2/100/800)

"A Tuner!? Without any other monsters, it's just fodder!" Gen arrogantly stated without any concern. "Tama-C can perform a Synchro Summon using a Machine-type monster on my opponent's side of the field!" Gongenzaka stated with Gen's eyes widened and asking in shock. "What!?" as Gongenzaka continued. "I Tune the Level 8 Superheavy Samurai Big Ben-K on your field with my Level 2 Tama-C!"

Tama-C let out a cry before being bathed in white light and became two green Synchro Rings as Big Ben-K leapt up intot he sky before becoming a literal diagram of his body structure as the rings passed through him, showing right white stars the compromised of its inner workings before they moved to become perfectly aligned before there was brilliant flash of light.

"Raging deity, in unison with the roar of a thousand blades souls, come forth in a spiralling sandstorm! Synchro Summon! Level 10! Now, come before us! Superheavy Samurai Koujin Sussano-O!"

Emerging out from the light was a monstrous mixture of dark green and grey who looked more like a demon in appearance with tow jutted like wings on his back whiel his elbows and kneecaps had rather cumbersome huge circular tubing while the armour was mainly dark green with black outlines, the chest being prominently symbolized with a red v while covering his legs was a cross fitting leg guards that could be moved easily to sit cross-legged which the monster did after it spun it's spear around

Superheavy Samurai Koujin Sussano-O (LV 10/2400/3800)

"Next I equip my Superheavy Samurai Soulbuster Gauntlet to Susano-O from my hand!" Gongenzaka stated as from the sky, came a red mechanical gauntlet with six outward curved funnels as Superheavy Samurai Koujin Sussano-O's eyes glowed red for a brief second before punching forward, fist entering the gauntlet as the equipping was evidently complete with steam escaping the funnels before holding it's spear once again.

"it increases its DEF by 400!" Gongenzaka stated as Superheavy Samurai Koujin Sussano-O's DEF rose to 4200 as Gen looked visibly nervous. "D-don't tell me just like Big Ben-K, it can..." Gen nervously begun to say as Gongenzaka continued. "That's right! I can attack using its DEF! Let's go! Battle! Superheavy Samurai Koujin Sussano-O attacks Battleguard Mad Shaman!"

"And since the effect of Gongenzaka's Glo-V to draw that previous card to make Mad Shaman's ATK permanently 0, he'll win!" Yuya said as he was now sat beside his mother. "Kusanagi Sword Slash!" Gongenzaka called out as Superheavy Samurai Koujin Sussano-O's balde glowed yellow befor takign a wide swing from its seated position, the blade making contact with the monster before an explosion occurred, sending Gen flying back and landing on his face as the field disintegrated back to normal.

Gen: 0
Gongenzaka: 500

"The victor of this Duel goes to Gongenzaka!" Nico smiled proclaimed as the audience let out cheers/ "Now the next match will be You Show Duel School's Sakaki Yuya vs Leo Duel School's Sawatari Shingo!" Nico stated as the screen shown the participants as Yuya headed down tot he field.


And that is Chapter 5! Also I have taken the liberty of updating the original story with a small teaser on what this story may hold, please be respectful and follow the wishes I have stated in it, until then, this is StardustXtreme and I'll see you all... next time!
