Hello and welcome to a rather prolonged Chapter 6... This one took a while due to motivation of writign a canon duel and well, other things, well lets get started with the Reviews and then we'll dive straight into it.

SniperZ & PrideKnight168 - Here is the Chapter abeit, somehwat a month late!

T-wrecks13 - Glad you enjoyed the teaser!

Xero-Mazoku & Gundam-Knight-Chris & lucario-badass - Glad you are enjoying the Chapters and awaiting the new developments!

darkness333 - We'll see what happens with Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon! All i will say he'll appear at some point in the story!

Derek23 - Thanks for the support!

helios darkus - I was not expecting such long written stuff and ideas, as for the questions regarding certain cards mentioned from the show, we'll see what happens, I can promise Lord of the Red will make an appearance and as for Returning Cameos, it'll be more than the Original Red-Eyes fic I can say with certainty, who though is mainly to surprise you and the other readers, as for FTK or OTKs... that's uncertain at this time.. as for the cards you so eloquently written down, I may consider adding them but don't be saddened if they aren't.

Now that Review answering is out of the way... onto the Chapter!


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 6
The Pendulum Swings Both Ways!

-Maiami Stadium-

Haruto looked down at the arena as Ayu, Futoshi and Tatsuya cheered. "Do your best!" as Gongenzaka called out. "Stick with it!" while Shuzo cried out. "Burning! Hot-blooded!" as Haruto sweat dropped a moment before noting the fame next to him, a blonde adult woman with two big metal hoops for earrings and having green eyes, if he recalled, Yuzu said this was Yuya's mother, Yoko Sakaki.

"Huh... I wonder if Yuya inherited the hair from his father then?" Haruto wondered and turned to focus on the arena again, Yuya's opponent was... an oddity, he was coming into the arena wearing all decked out in blue samurai garb befitting of of a ronin, katana and all, what was more, he wore a large straw hat on his hat the obscured his features and actually using a leaf to play a harmonic whistling tune, a young boy with short light brown and blonde hair, styled in layers, and having greyish blue eyes. He wore what appeared to be a white coat with red fabric over his shoulder while the trimmings were yellow, underneath, eh wore a dark gray shirt that was collared while his pants were dark red trousers and brown suede shoes from what he could guess.

"Is that the rumoured Pendulum user?" Haruto heard one of the nearby onlooker before hearing another one. "But I hear some people say that Pendulum Summoning isn't real!" while another voice he managed to hear said. "Yeah, there is the rumour his Duel against Strong Ishijima was bogus too..."

"The cards are calling to me, they are telling me to draw! Another star has risen into the heavens! Behold, Duelling's greatest star!" The ronin proclaimed, arm raised asbefore raising his straw hat up a bit as everyone in the crowd wasn't sure how to react to such comments.

"Do you know who I am?" The ronin asked and Yuya just blankly answered. "Sawatari, right?" Yuya asked and the ronin removed his entire ensemble. "Wrong!" Sawatari answered that somehow, Sawatari had another outfit on underneath as he was in fact probably a handsome young boy with short light brown and blonde hair, styled in layers while his outfit was what appeared to be a white coat with red triangular piece son his shoulders, same with the cuffs of the shirt while he had a untucked grey shirt with a necklace, as for his pants, they were a dark red and his shoes seemed to be suede brown.

"I'm Neo New Sawatari!" Sawatari introduced himself with a flamboyant pose and Haruto blinked with a look of vague disinterest. "He's certainly thinking he's number one isn't he? ...Doesn't he know Neo means New as well? So is he... New New Sawatari?" Haruto thought in a deadpan tone.

"They mean the same thing..." Yuya muttered, echoing his friends thoughts. "I nailed it!" Sawatari thought, thinking the audiences stillness was in awe of his genius before spreaking, looking to Yuya. "Sakaki Yuya, I have quite a few grudges against you!"

Yuya blinked in utter bewilderment at that, evident in his question. "Grudges?" as Sawtari explained in response. "First, you stole my Pendulum cards and defeated me with them! How disgraceful!" Sawtari said as Yuya backfired immediately. "You had stolen them in the first place! Remember?"

Sawtari's facial expression did change to one of seriousness to one of a painful realization but recovered his serious expression a she continued. "Second, you had an Xyz-using doppelgänger injure me! How disgraceful!"

"But it wasn't me then! And I heard you weren't injured either..." Yuya answered and Sawtari had that same look of his argument being sounded defeated before he continued. "Third, you attacked and injured my death father! There is no greater disgrace!" as Yuya sighed. "That wasn't me either..."

"I'll repay those disgraces a hundred times over right now! Mark my words, Sakaki Yuya, You will lose this Duel and experience the greatest disgrace ever! Pendulum Summoning have have led you to victory up until now... But today, it will be your path to defeat!" Sawatari proclaimed, pointing at Yuya.

"I'll lose to Pendulum Summoning?" Yuya asked before realizing something Sawtari said and looked serious. "Then could Sawatari have Pendulum Cards created by LDS?" Yuya thought as Nico's voice blared throughout the stadium.

"I wonder how this card will turn out? Now lets select the Action Field! Come on!" nico said a sthe huge Action card spun rapidly before revealing the stage. "Action Field On! Field Magic: Ruined Castle of the Sunset, activate!"

The Solid Vision set in as it materialized what appeared to a decrepit old castule in the mountains that seemed to more or less old Chinese outpost completed with wooden drawbridge, empty trenches and the inner workings of the castle laid bare to the elements, as if time and mother nature itself wore it down to its current state. "Let's go!" Sawatari stated and Yuya nodded, both had Duel Disks active and draw five cards.

"Duelists locked in battle! Kicking against the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters! They storm through this Field! Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Duelling! ACTION DUEL!"

Yuya: 4000
Sawatari: 4000

The Action Cards scattered in a brilliant flash of light as Sawatari spoke. "I'll let you go first!" and Yuya picked a card out from his hand. "My turn! When neither of us control any Monsters, I can Normal Summon this card from my hand by reducing its Level by 1! I Summon Performapal Drumming Kong, set one card and end my turn!"

Appearing before Yuya was a gorilla wearing a small gentlemen's top hat with a red bow tie with green polka-dots while for it's upper half had was an entertainer's suits except its abs as his shoulders replaced by two big drums and it's shoulders two singular cymbals, even the hands were replaced with large orange spheres while its lower half remained unchanged for a creature of his breed while a face down card materialized behind it.

Performapal Drumming Kong (LV 4/1600/900)

"Now, Sawatari Shingo, your Legendary Revenge Duel has just begun! My turn draw!" Sawatari drawn his card and glanced to it briefly before revealing the card. "I activate the Continuous Spell Card, Youkai Shrine of Trials! Whenever a Yosenju Monster is Summoned or Special Summoned, I can light up one Yosen Counter!

Appearing behind Sawatari was what seemed to be a rather large green wooden shrine with dark grey plating, on the front was what appeared to be a symbol that looked similar to a tornado of some kind while in the shrine itself was two shelves that was filled with 6 candles each with a small stairway for an individuals to possibly light one if need be.

"Yosen Counter?" Yuya asked as Sawatari continued. "And now I Summon Yosenju Kamaitachi from my hand!" A tornado formed out of thin air before dispersing to reveal a grey furry humanoid garbed in dark blue yukata with white clouds etched on the back while it wore an orange top revealing it was quite muscular, held together with a green sash, in its right hand was an oversized sickle attached to a chain

Yosenju Kamaitachi (LV 4/1600/500)

"When Kamaitachi is successfully Summoned, I can Summon another Yosenju besides Kamaitachi from my hand! Come forth! Yosenju Kamanitachi!" Sawatari stated as Kamaitachi spun around into a tornado before it dispersred again to reveal another similar humanoid garbed din the same attire only the key difference was the weapon was that it was shouldering a unsheathed.

Yosenju Kamanitachi (LV 4/1800/200)

"Furthermore, when Kamanitachi is successfully Summoned, I can Summon another Yosenju besides Kamanitachi from my hand! Yosenju Kamamitachi come forth!" Sawataria dded as one individual appeared much looking like the others with the only key differences being they wore no yukata and their weapon ws a dagger.

Yosenju Kamamitachi (LV 4/1500/800)

"What's this!? Sawatari has managed to Summon three monsters at once!" Nico announced in genuine surprise as Sawatari chuckled. "Being able to Summon multiple monsters at once isn't unique to Pendulum Summoning!, I've successfully Summoned three Yosenju Monsters and due to the effect of the Shrine of Trials, it gains 3 Counters!" Sawatari said as three of the candles lit up.

Shrine of Trials Yosen Counters: 3

"Th...that's kinda creepy..." Ayu said in fearful tone and Tatsuya nodded. "that deck might actually be really strong!" Tatsuya added as Sawatari went on. "I activate Kamaitachi's effect! Just once when I control another Yosenju monster, I can return one card from my opponent's field to his hand so go back, Drumming Kong!"

Kamaitachi who was the first monster, spun the chain end of his weapon and thrown it at Drumming Kong who was wrapped up within as it tightened around him, the monster disappearing in yellow particles as Yuya fromed Drumming Kong from his Duel.

"Oh no! Yuya's Field is wide open now!" Shuzo said in a panicked tone and Tatsuya added. "If he gets attacked right now..." and Haruto piped in. "If all three of those monsters attacks go through, Yuya will lose this match."

"Lets go! Battle! I attack directly with Kamaitachi!" Sawatari said as the sickle wielding monster leapt towards Yuya, cloaked in wind barrier as Yuya begun to return. "I activate my Trap! Performapal Pinch helper! This card negates an opponent's direct attack then it allows me to Special Summon from my Deck an Performapal with 800 or less ATK with its effects negated! I Special Summon Performapal Kaleido Scorpion in DEF mode!"

Appearing in front of Yuya who stopped his brief run emerged a dark red scorpion with the same top hat as Drumming Kong except the bow was dark pink as its eyes were dark with some sparkles and eyelashes, wearing a small orange waistcoat while its pincers were replaced by triangular shields that were pink with one huge orange star on them and lastly, it's proverbial stinger was blue starring water cannon with the tip having a rose coloured bow-tie with pink polka-dots.

Performapal Kaleido Scorpion (LV 6/100/2300)

"With this, Kaleido Scorpion's DEF is greater than the ATK of either Kamamitachi or Kamanitachi! You can't attack anymore!" Yuya stated and Sawatari spoke, "Fine then, in that case I'll activate Kamanitachi's effect! This card can make a direct attack by cutting its ATK in half!"

Kamanitachi smirked as he was ready to attack as Yuzu was surprised. "Then that means it can attack like Yuya's monster never existed in the first place!" Yuzu noted as Yuya begun to run towards the decript building.

"I won't let you get an Action Card! Battle! I attack directly with Kamanitachi!" Sawatari declared as a gust of wind came at Yuya who attempted to jump into the encampment with the wooden drawbridge being raised but was hit in the side, making Yuya fall into the empty moat.

Yuya: 3100
Sawatari: 4000

"Too bad... next I activate Kamamitachi's effect! When another Yosenju monster deals Battle Damage to my opponent, I can add a Yosenju monster besides Kamamitachi from my Deck to my hand! So from my deck, I add Yosenju Ooyamabiko to my hand!" Sawatari stated, looking down at Yuya as he added the said card to his hand before continuing.

"And after that, Shrine of Trials effect activates! Once per turn, I can use three Yosen Counters to add a Yosenju monster from my Deck to hand I add Mayosenju Daibak to my hand! It wouldn't be fun if I ended this so soon so I set one card and end my turn!" Sawatari stated as the three candles that were lit were snuffed out. a face down card appeared in front of him

Shrine of Trials Counters: 0

"At this moment, the three Kamaitachi brothers return to my hand at the end of the turn they're Summoned." Sawatari added as the three monsters became cyclones before disappearing as Sawatari picked up the three cards from his Disk to add them back to his hand.

"Using a card effect to return all his monsters to his hand which leaves his field wide open... Is he planning something?" Yuya thought to himself as Sawatari brought him out of his thoughts. "Now, lets continue the show, Entertainment Duelist Sakaki Yuya!" Sawtari taunted.

"Sawatari is taunting his opponent without a care in the world!" Nico announced as Yuya spoke. "My turn!" Yuya drawn and looked to see what it was and smiled. "Its here, I using the Scale 1 Stargazer Magician and Scale 8 Timegazer Magician set the Pendulum Scale!" Yuya called out as his Duel Disk lit up with rainbow letters with the word Pendulum on the monster monsters.

"So this is that Pendulum Summoning you mentioned before Yuzu?" Haruto asked her as he saw two adjacent pillars of light as within the left pillar was white robed magician with a purple cape with the other had a dark robed magician with what appeared to be broke pieces of gears on his person as underneath the respective magicians were the numbers 1 and 8 respectively and then forming in the middle of the two pillars was rather enlarged version of Yuya's pendant.

"Yeah... it's... well... watch!" Yuzu said as Yuya continued. "With this, I am able to Special Summon monsters with Levels 2 to 7 simultaneously! Sway, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters!" Yuya called out as the pendant begun to sway to and fro between the pillars before it was gradually going around in a loop, within it, a portal opened up and various streaks of light emerged out from it.

"Performapal Drumming Kong! And with its radiant dual-coloured eyes, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya called out as the beams of light changed to the familiar Drumming Kong and a rather distinctive red armoured dragon with elongated white horns with it's facial structure had yellow plating while the forehead held a small purple sphere whereas the wings would be was half circular extension with the left side having two green orbs embedded in the it while the right side had one large red orb, the chest area was some kind of skeletal structure which held in place a larger version of the purple glowing sphere but the most notable thing was its eyes which were a left green eye and right red eye.

Performapal Drumming Kong (LV 5/1600/900)
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (LV 7/2500/2000)

The crowd cheering out loud as Nico spoke into the microphone. "There it is! The Pendulum Summoning that Sakaki used to beat Strong Ishijima!" Nico said excitedly and Haruto's eyes widened. "So it's a massive Special Summoning of various Monster Levels? That's... certainly impressive!" Haruto said in a genuinely surprised tone.

"If Yuya-oniichan attacks directly with Drumming Kong and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, he'll win!" Tatsuya noted and Sora piped up. "It looks like a trap, no matter how you look at it though,." Sora added and Haruto couldn't help but vocally agree. "Yeah... Sawatari must be banking on that face down card to keep him in the game, I can't imagine he'd bluff after his previous move."

"Let's go, Battle! I attack directly with Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya called out as odd-Eyes pendulum Dragon stomp across the field before leaping up high into the air, rearing its head back to unleash it's Spiral Flare Strike as Sawatari pulled a card out from his hand. "I activate Yosenju Ooyamabiko's effect in my hand, when my opponent declares a direct attack, I can send one 'Yosenju' monster from my hand to my Graveyard and Special Summon this card!" Sawatari responded as he discarded a card.

From the ground materialized a tall ghostly ghoul before it soon solidified itself, having two humanoid arms and two pupil-less eyeballs and a sad expression on it's face.

Yosenju Ooyamabiko (LV 6/?/?)

"Unknown ATK?" Yuya asked, confused as Sawatari responded. "Ooyamibiko's ATK is the same as the original ATK of the monster it battles so it gains Odd-Eyes's 2500 ATK but that's not all! Since I successfully Summoned a 'Yosenju' Monster, I light up one Yosen Counter!" as one of the candles lit up.

Shrine of Trials Yosen Counters: 1

"So what now? Are you going to crash your monster into mine?" Sawatari asked and Yuya waved his hand. "I'm not done yet! I activate Drumming Kong's effect! Once during the Battle Phase, this card can increase the ATK of one of my monsters by 600!" Yuya stated as Drumming Kong beat its chest as the vibrations waved over Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, increasing it's ATK to 3100 as Sawatari didn't look too thrilled despite his previous confidence.

"Go, Odd-Eyes! Spiral Strike Burst!" Yuya called out as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's maw was bathed in a crimson fiery glow before unleashing its breath attack with a powerful pressurized blast of dark crimson and black entrails as it connected with Yosenju Ooyamabiko.

"If Odd-Eyes destroys a Level 5 or higher monster, battle damage is doubled! Reaction Force!" Yuya calle dout Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's green and red orbs glowed as the attack was expelled with more force before Yosenju Ooyamabiko disappeared in a shattering of yellow particles with Sawatari blown back.

"That one had to hurt! Sawatari takes a whooping 1200 points of damage!" Nico reported as Sawatari rolled himself over and got onto his knees.

Yuya: 3100
Sawatari: 2800

"I activate Yosenju Ooyamabiko's effect! When this card is destroyed by battle, I can add another Yosenju Ooyamabiko from my Deck to my hand!" Sawatari stated, taking the card from his deck as Yuya looked at Sawatari. "Even if I attack now, he'll just summon another Yosenju Ooyamabiko... At this point I should..." Yuya thought before speaking up. "I end my turn!" Yuya begun to run once more.

Sawatari watched as Yuya ran. "Heheh... From now on is the real deal! Sawatari Shingo's Legendary Revenge Duel! Sakaki Yuya! Now you will come to fear the power of Pendulum Summoning!" Sawatari declared pointing at Yuya.

"Fear the power of Pendulum Summoning?" Yuzu asked aloud as Haruto looked on. "Lets see what he means by that Yuzu." Haruto said calmly

"Behold, Sakaki Yuya! My turn!" Sawatari drawm his card and glanced to see what it was before cracking a smile. "I Summon Yosenju Kamaitachi and with his successful Summoning, I Special Summon Kamanitachi and Kamamitachi" As three tornado formed out of thin air before dispersing to reveal the familiar trio.

Yosenju Kamaitachi (LV 4/1600/500)
Yosenju Kamanitachi (LV 4/1800/200)
Yosenju Kamamitachi (LV 4/1500/800)

"I also activate Shrine of Trials effect! With three more summons of 'Yosenju' monsters, I light up three more Yosen Counters!" Sawatari added as the Shrine of Trails lit up to a grand total of four lit candles. "Battle! I attack directly by halving Kamanitchi's ATK!"

"Huh!? He's not going to use Kamaitchi's effect to return Odd-Eyes to Yuya's hand?" Yuzu asked in genuine confusion and Sora narrowed his eyes slightly. "Hmmm? Must be a reason for that." Sora added as Yuya went to grab an Action embedded in the stone wall of the moat by twining up to it but Kamanitchi's strong gust of wind blown him off, causing Yuya to crash onto solid ground.

Yuya:2200
Sawatari: 2800

"And now, Kamanitchi's effect activates! When another 'Yosenju' monster deals Battle Damage to my opponent, I can add a 'Yosenju' Monster from my Deck to my hand! I add the Pendulum Monster, Yosenju Shinchu L to my hand! I also activate Shrine of Trials effect! I use three Yosen Counters to add the Pendulum Monster, Yosenju Shinchu R to my hand!" Sawatari stated, adding both cards to his hand.

Shrine of Trials Yosen Counters: 1

"So he really does have them..." Yuya muttered under his breath as Sawatari continued. "Sakaki Yuya, just like I told you, Pendulum Summoning will be your path to defeat! I, using the Scale 3 Yosenju Shinchu L and the Scale 5 Yosenju Shinchu R, I set the Pendulum Scale!"

Appearing in the same pilalrs of light merege two halves of a shrine gate, the left and right cornerstones bearing a sneering Oni mask and a sadden old man mask respectively as the numbers 3 and 5 appeared underneath them respectively.

"He did it... But with a Scale of 3 and 5, he can only Summon Level 4 monsters!" Yuya said quietly, staring up at Sawatari who laughed. "Level 4? Sorry, but that's not the case... I activate Shinchu R's Pendulum Effect! When there is another 'Yosenju' card in my other Pendulum Zone, its Scale rises to 11! With this, I'm able to summoned Level 4 to 10 monsters simultaneously! Pendulum Summon!"

"O wind-clad chief of phantoms! Gorge these lands with your raging cloak! Come forth! Mayosenju Daibak!"

True to Sawatari's word, the Scale 5 immediately rose to Scale 11 as emerging between the pillars was a dense dark green tornado as giant singular horned four-legged creature made of what appeared to be phantasmal green fire with dark green blades of wind,

Mayosenju Daibak (LV 10/3000/300)

"Shrine of Trials gains 1 Counter as well! That's it! Scream more! Cheer more because the fun's only just begun!" Sawatari added and Ayu portested. "That's Yuya-onnichan's line!" in a huff as Sawatari seemed to be in his own world. "I am the truly chosen man, Neo New Sawatari! And I don't have just have Pendulum Summoning in my arsenal! I am going to go beyond it!" Sawatari stated, coming back to his senses.

Shrine of Trials Yosen Counters: 2

"Beyond it!?" Yuya asked as Sawatari continued. "I activate Daibak's effect! When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, I can return two target cards from my opponent's field to their hand! I return your Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician to your hand!"

Two green tornado's enveloped Stargazer and Timegazer as Sawatari continued. "That's not all! With Daibak on the field, I activate the Continuous Trap Card, Dizzying Winds of Yosen Village! Any non 'Yosenju cards returned to the hand from the field are sent to their owner's Deck instead!" Sawatari said as Yuya reluctantly placed both cards back in his Deck and it shuffled.

"And on top of that, I pay 800 LP to activate the Continuous Spell card, Yosen Tornado! I end my turn! But it doesn't end there, let me show you the Sawatari Legend Combo! Yosen Lost Tornado!" Sawatari stated, playing the Spell card.

"Yosen Lost Tornado?" Yuya asked in confusion as Sawatari explained. "Yosen Tornado's effect is when a 'Yosenju' is returned to my hand, I can return one card on my opponent's field to their hand and with Dizzying Wind of Yosen Village's effect that any non 'Yosenju' card returned to the hand is sent to their owner's Deck instead so I return the three brothers I Summoned this turn to my hand on the End Phase, with this, Yosen Tornado's effect returns three cards to your hand but instead are blown away to your Deck! So go back to the Deck! Pinch Helper, Kaleido Scorpion and Drumming Kong!"

The three colourful tornados slammed into the respective monsters as Sawatari pointed at Odd0Eyes Pendulum Dragon. "Of course, I'll be having him leave the stage as well! Daibak's effect activates! At the end of the turn that this card is Special Summoned, it returns to my hand! Bye bye, Odd-Eyes!"

Daibak disappeared in a light green tornado before both cards activated in unison, coming together and slamming their respective tornadoes into Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon as Yuya's Deck was shuffled once more.

"What do you think? This tornado literally catches opponent's cards in dizzying winds and blows them into the Deck! This is the Sawatari Legend Combo! Yosen Lost Tornado!" Sawatari bragged out loud, arms spread. "This the birth of a new legend! Shinchu R's effect activates, returning to normal!"

Yuya: 2200
Sawatari: 2000

"Yuya's Pendulum cards are being sealed..." Yuzu said in clear concern as Gongenzaka nodded. "Yeah..." Gongenzaka as Haruto spoke. "Despite Sawatari's ego, he has the cards to back it up... if all of Yuya's monsters get shuffled back into his Deck, there may come a turn where he can't summon one.. Plus... He only has one card in his hand with his field being completely empty!" Haruto realized with wide eyes.

"It'll be over for you on my next turn! Now show me your final struggles!" Sawatari said as Yuya stared up at his opponent, his face was one fo defeat with one notable exception, he was smiling. "Lets settle this once and for all!" Sawatari stated.

"Settle this? Don't be ridiculous! The Duel has just begun! My turn.. Draw! I set two cards and end my turn!" Yuya said, setting his entire hand. "What's this now? I went out of my way to hype things up and you do something so boring?!" Sawatari asked as Yuya leapt from one wooden stake to the other with incredibly parkour skills.

"Well, I guess you can't help it with an empty hand and no Pendulum Summons!" Sawatari said in a smug tone.

"if I don't have any cards, then I just have to look for more!" Yuya said, looking at the decrepit castle and begun to run towards it. "The fun has only just begun!" as Sawatari gave a smile. "I commend you for not giving up and looking for hope in Action Cards... But all that remains for you is despair! My turn!"

Sawatari drawn his card and continued. "I Summon Yosenju Kamaitachi from my hand! With Kamaitachi's sucessful Summon, I can Summon Yosenju Kamanitachi then with Kamanitachi's effect, I Summon Yosenju Kamamitachi!" Sawatari called out as the three monsters returned to the field.

Yosenju Kamaitachi (LV 4/1600/500)
Yosenju Kamanitachi (LV 4/1800/200)
Yosenju Kamamitachi (LV 4/1500/800)

"At the same time, Shrine of Trails effect activates, I add three Yosen Counters! While you've been running around looking for Action Cards, I've gotten everything set up! Now it's time to end this!" Sawatari stated confidently

Shrine of Trials Yosen Counters: 6

"I know what you're thinking, you're just trying to bluff me with those two face-down cards you have but that's not happening! I can't return face-down cards with Kamaitachi's effect but..." Sawatari thought before speaking up. "I activate Shinchu R's effect activates, when there is another 'Yonsenju' card in the oppsite Pendulum Zone, its Pendulum Scale changes from 5 to 11 this turn!"Sawatari stated as underneath Shinchu R, the number 5 increased to 11.

"With this, I'm able to summoned Level 4 to 10 monsters simultaneously! Pendulum Summon!" Sawatari said with a rms outsctretched as the crowd begun to cheer, emerging again between the pillars was a dense dark green tornado as giant singular horned four-legged creature made of what appeared to be phantasmal green fire with dark green blades of wind.

"O wind-clad chief of phantoms! Gorge these lands with your raging cloak! Come forth! Mayosenju Daibak!"

Mayosenju Daibak (LV 10/3000/300)

"I light another Yosen Counter!" Sawatari said as the Shrine's lit candles was now 7 as Yuzu looked on as Yuya was running up the stairs of one of the destoreyd watchtowers. "Yuya... What are you going to do?" yuzu asked herself in genuine concern.

"Daibak's effect even works on face-down cards! I activate his effect and return two cards on the Field to their owner's hand and also, Dizzying Wind of Yosen Village will send those two cards that returned to your hand to your Deck with its effect!" Sawatari stated as Daibak unleashed a tornado that blown away Yuya's face-down cards.

"It's the end, too bad! It looks like your precious backrow was useless!" Sawatari called out as Yuya responded. "No! That's fine!" Yuya said, leaping up on top of the roof of the watchtower through one of the giant holes as Yuya shown a card.

"if this Set card is removed from the field, it changes the names of all my oppnent's monsters to 'Anonymous'!" Yuya said as four streaks of light shot forth from the card and hit Sawatari's Disk as the names of his monsters were indeed changed.

"Why you...! You were trying to do this from the start!" Sawatari said in surprise, looking to Yuya's face appearing on his Duel Disk's camera. "That's right, 'Yosenju' monsters aren't affected by Dizzying Wind... But..." Yuya answered.

"I get it..." Yuzu realized as Tatsuya contined. "Now that his monsters aren't Yosenju cards, at the end of this turn..." and Sora smiled. "They'll return to the Deck instead of the hand due to Dizzying Wind's effect." as Haruto also sported a smile.

"That Yuya... He used the effects of Sawatari's cards against him... That's quite the strategy!" Haruto said with genuine approval as Sawatari spoke. "I'll end this Duel before they return to my Deck!" Sawatari leapt up upon Daibak's back and continued. "Battle! I attack directly with Daibak! All of you, follow me!"

Daibak leapt forward as did the three Yosenju monsters as Yuya lowered his goggles over his eyes. !I won't let this be over!" Yuya called out ebfore backflipping down through the same hole he just exited from as Daibak unleashed a tornado straight at the building before it started to crumble.

"Yuya!" Everyone called out in concern as Sawatari laughe d abit, looking at the piel of rubble. "You've lsot, Sakaki Yuya!" sawatari baosted before a finegr snap echoed, Yuya was now on top another watchtower. "No way! I should of landed that direct attack!" Sawatari said in disbelief.

"Did you think I would be running around without a plan? I actiavted Action Magic: Great Escape mid-fall and now It ends the Battle Phase!" Yuya stated as Sawatari looked irritated with the crowd cheering. "Yuya must of baited the attack after knowing where Great Escape was.. That Yuya..." Yuzu said with a sigh of relief.

"Stop messing around! You're not allowed to excite the crowd!" Sawatari shouted as Yuya counter shouted back. "This is my Duelling Style!" and Sawatari composed him. "But I'm the one who will be getting the last cheer! I activate the effect of Shrine of Trials! I can add one 'Yosenju' monster to my hand by using three Yosen Counters! I'll add Kamamitachi to my hand and end my turn!" Sawatari stated, taking the card from his Deck.

"Now then, may I ask that your monsters leave the stage?" yuya asked as the associated monsters disappeared ina gust of wind. "At the end of my turn, Yosen tornado is destroyed because a 'Yosenju' monster did not return to my hand and Shinchu R's Pendulum Scale returns to normal." Sawatari added as Yosen tornado shattered and the Scale 11 Shinchu R became 5.

"Sawatari's monsters return not his hand but his Deck due to the effect of Dizzying Wind!" Nico stated as Sawatari added the returned monsters back to his Deck which then shuffled as Yuya looked down at Sawatari. "Looks like our fields are pretty lonely." Yuya noted.

"I'll be making it lively again as soon as my next turn comes around! During the main event in which you'll taste defeat!" Sawatari responded and yuya pulled his goggle sup. "Sorry, but I don't plan on losing! My turn Draw!" Yuya drawn and looked to the card.

"Yes! When neither of us control any Monsters, I can Normal Summon this card from my hand by reducing its Level by 1! I Summon Performapal Drumming Kong!" Yuya called out as the faimiliar monster reappeared once more.

Performapal Drumming Kong (LV 4/1600/900)

"Battle! I attack directly with Drumming Kong!" yuya clale dotu as he elapt upon the gorilla's back who leapt towards Sawatari. "So you're going to attack! I can't back down now! I can send one 'Yosenju' monster from my hand to my Graveyard and Special Summon this card and light one Yosen Counter!" Sawatari responded as he discarded a card.

From the ground materialized a tall ghostly ghoul before it soon solidified itself, having two humanoid arms and two pupil-less eyeballs and a sad expression on it's face.

Yosenju Ooyamabiko (LV 6/?/?)
Shrine of Trials Yosen Counters: 4

"Oyamabiko's ATK is the same as the original ATK of the monster it battles!" Sawatari stated as Oyamabiko's Atk rose to 1600 and Yuya continued. "I activate Drumming Kong's effect! It can icnrease one monster's Atk by 600 until the end of the Battle Phase!"

Performapal Drumming Kong (LV 4/2200/900)

Drumming Kong started pounding on his cheast as vibrations resounded and made contact with Yosenju Ooyamabiko which disappeared as Sawatari covered himself from the explosion with his LP taking a notable hit.

Yuya: 2200
Sawatari: 1400

"At the end of the Battle Phase, Drumming Kong's effect wears off and with this, I'll end my turn!" Yuay satted as Sawatari moved a hand through his hair. "Seems like our crowd wants an elegant Pendulum Summon, I'll show them one since Sakaki Yuya clearly can't! My turn!" Sawatari called out.

"I'll use three Yosen Counters from the Shrine of trials to add Mayosenju Saibak to my hand!" Sawatari stated as three candles were snuffed out and a card ejcted from his Deck as he took the said card before continuing his move.

"Lets go! With the current Pendulum Scale of 3 to 5, I'm able to simultaneously Summon Level 4 monsters! Come forth, wind-slicing blades! Yosenju Kamaitachi and Kamamitachi" Sawatari called out as emerging between the pillars of light emrged two green lights that formed into the said monsters.

Yosenju Kamaitachi (LV 4/1600/500)
Yosenju Kamamitachi (LV 4/1500/800)

"This counts as a single Summon so my Shrine of Trials only lights one counter!" Sawatari said as the Counter went from 1 to 2. "First I'll have that eyesore of a Performapal disappear! Kamaitachi's effect!" Sawatari said as Yuya turned around to run and spotted an Action Card in the framework of a building.

"Once, when I control another 'Yosenju' monster, I can return one card from my opponent's field to the hand! Disappear, Drumminh Kong!" Sawatari said as Yuya leapt up and grabbed the Action Card, immedaitely playing it. "Action Magic: Transparent! One of my monsters is unaffected by my opponent's effects for the rest of this turn!" Yuya countered as Drumming Kong became just that and side-stepped the white enrgy sickle that was coming at him, causing an explosion.

"Don't disappear like that!" Sawatari moaned as Ayu's face was comically puffed up. "You're the one who said disappear in the first place!" Ayu said in a huff as Sawtari recomposed himself. "I still have other options! I tribute my two monsters, Kamaitachi and Kamamitachi in order to Summon Mayosenju Daibak!" Sawatari said as both monsters disappeared in green particles before converging with a furious cyclone forming and Daibak landing, letting out a roar.

Mayosenju Daibak (LV 10/3000/300)

"I ligh tup another Yosen Counter which makes 3!" Sawatari said as he saw Yuya was still smiling. "Why are you smiling!? Don't you know the situation you are in right now!?" Sawatari asked as Yuya looked relieved. "I do! But... The audience is excited! It's not just me... Our unpredictable show is getting the crowd hyped! I've found a new possibilty, thats why I can't help enjoying this!" Yuya answered with a beaming smile.

"Heh, I can't help btu enjoy this as well! I'll be able to crush you in front of a huge crowd like this!" Sawatari said and Yuya responded back. "Sawatari... like I said, the show still has more to come!" as Sawatari pointed at yuya. "No, right now is the climax! Lets go! Battle! Mayosenju Daibak attacks Drumming Kong!"

Mayosenju Daibak unleashed a green tornado from its horn straight at Drumming Kong as Yuya raised his arm up. "I activate Drumming Kong's effect! It can icnrease one monster's ATK by 600 until the end of the Battle Phase!"

Performapal Drumming Kong (LV 4/2200/900)

Drumming Kong beat his chest before the tornado struck him and he shattere dinto yellow piarticles with Yuya crossing his arms to brace for the damage, groaning as his LP decreased.

Yuya: 1400
Sawatari: 1400

"The destroyed Drumming Kong is sent to the Extra Deck!" yuay said, returning the card to the Extar Deck. "I end my turn with this! The Tribute Summoned Daibak will remain on the field! Come on.. Entertainment Duelist! Everyone's cheering our Duel! They are waiiting for it so answer them!" Sawatari said as the entire crowd was chanting Pendulum in unison.

"Sawatari... Yeah!" Yuya nodded as he raise dup his hands, a spotlight shining down on him. "Ladies and Gentlemen! As you can see, my field is absent of set cards, let alone monsters! This next draw will be betting this whole show on a Destiny Draw! If I manage to draw something, I want to hear you cheer! Draw!" Yuya drawn in an arc-like motion as he glanced to the card.

"Got it! Right now, I'll show you the most amazing magic show you've seen in this world! This card can only be activated when I have no cards on my field and only this card is in my hand! I activate the Spell Card, Magician's Card! I can draw as many cards as my opponent controls and reveal them, rigth now, Mister Sawatari controls five cards so I draw five cards!" Yuay said, drawing said number of cards and revealing them.

"The cards I drew are Performapal's Skeeter Skimmer, Trump Witch, Turn Toad, Timegazer Magician, and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! I, using the Scale 4 Performapal Trump Witch and Scale 8 Timegazer Magician, set the Pendulum Scale!" Yuya called out as Timegazer Magician reappeared but in the other pillar was a blonde pigtailed girl with a black visor showing the whites of her eyes as she donned blue jester-like garb with pink trims while in her rigth hand was a star staff.

"With this, I'm able to simultaneously Summon Monsters from Levels 5 to 7! Sway, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my Monsters! Performapal Drumming Kong as well as the heroic and dichromatic eyes, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya called out as the fmailiar monsters once again, reappeared in a light of light.

Performapal Drumming Kong {LV 5/1600/900)
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (LV 7/2500/2000)

"Now's the time to end this!" Sawatari said and Yuya nodded. "Right! I attack Daibak with Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! At this moment, Drumming Kong's effect activates which icnreastes the ATK of one monster by 600, I target Odd-Eyes's!" Yuay said as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon stompign across the field and crashe dinto daibak as it shattered away into pixels.

"Odd-Eyes's effect! When it battles with a Level 5 or higher monster, the battle damage is doubled!" Yuya stated as Sawatari answered back. "Shinchu L's Pendulum Effect activates, when a 'Yosenju' monster would be destroyed, I can destroy this card instead!" Sawatari's left Pendulum card shattered as Daibak remained on the field but Sawatari took 200 damage.

"The fun has only just begun! I activate Performapal Trump Witch's Pendulum Effect! Once per turn, during the Battle Phase, I can use monsters on my field as materials to perform a Fusion Summon!" yuay called out as Trump Witch cackled as her staff let loose an assortment of red and black playing card insigna's as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Performapal Drumming Kong ros eup in the air and begun to meld ina Fusion Vortex.

"Chest-pounding sage of the forest! Become one with the dragon of mystery and give birth to a new power! Fusion Summon! Come forth, ferocious dragon of luminous feral eyes! Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"

Emerging out from the Fusion Vortex was a a dragon who looked remarkably similar to Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon with notable differences, it bore a bronze like carapuce over its entire body while it had oen yellow eye and one green as it let loose a feral roar as Yuya leapt upon its back.

Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon LV 8/3000/2000)

"A Fusion Summon during a Pendulum Summon? Whoa..." Haruto said with surprise as Sawataria nd Yuya noted something as Yuya spoke. "Battle! Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon attacks Mayosenju Daibak!" Yuya said as Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon stomped towards Daibak as Yuya leapt off towards stone panels of a roof coming down to reveal two Action Cards, Sawatari was also running towards the same spot as Beast-Eyes's let loose a fiery breath looking remarkably similar to an actual feral beast and Daibak letting loose a tornado as the two attacks collided and passe done another, making contact, causing a simultaneous explosion.

"I activate the Action Magic: Huge Fireowrks! This card deals equal to half of the ATK of an opponent's monster destroyed in battle to my opponent!" Sawatari called out in the clearing smoke as a fireball was comign down on Yuya before a blanket caught it and sprung it up in the sky, causing fireworks to explode.

"Due to Action Magic: Miracle, it negates Beast-Eyes's destruction and negates the effect of your card and now Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's effect activates! When it destorys an opponent's monster in battle, it can inflict damage equal to the ATK of its Beast-type Fusion Material! Drumming Kong's ATK is 1600!" Yuya called out as Beast-Eyes Pendulum Drgaon unleashed a red energy blast at Sawatari who was thrown back.

Yuya: 1400
Sawatari: 0

"And that's it! The winner of the second match is Sakaki Yuya!" nico called out as Yuay elapt down and offered a hand to Sawatari who stood up himself. "Sawatari..." yuya egun to say as the crowd were applauding.

"Haha... They're really excited!" Yuya said as he waved and Sawatari bowed. "I'll face you again anytime." Sawatari said and Yuya nodded. "Yeah! I'm looking forward to it!" Yuya said with a smile.
