... 2000 VIEWERS! HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! *Ahem Hey everyone! This is the last chapter that I worked on two years ago. This chapter is extra large, and it's a special chapter (well not all that special. It's the small start of the harem thing I talked about in summary)! Either next chapter or the one after one will introduce the Fusion Introduction Arc. I won't keep you waiting. Have fun! Thanks Again!

Matthew actually applied to You Show School, after spending three days having too much fun in an underground dueling ring. Unfortunately, he learned that he couldn't use Accel Synchro without speed and he almost had to lose all his cards. Before applying, he was under the assumption that they had dorms. He was surprised when he found out that they didn't have any.

Matthew: Syuzo! I need a place to stay for a bit. Can't you help me out?

Syuzo: I'm sorry, but this school has no dorms. All students have their own places to live.

Matthew: Well. What do I do then? I can't sleep in the streets.

?: What is the problem?

A big and buffy man was walking towards Matthew and Syuzo. The man happened to be Gongenzaka. (Matthew and Gongenzaka got to know each other for a bit after the underground dueling ring)

Matthew: Oh, Gongenzaka. I need a place to stay, but I have nothing. I'm homeless right now.

Gongenzaka: I, the man Gongenzaka, will not let a friend live in the streets. Two of the students that graduated last year moved away, but they paid a couple of months in advance before they left. They said that I should give it to someone in desperate need.

Matthew's eyes sparkle as he jumps and hugs his friend.

Matthew: Thank you Gongenzaka! I'll never forget about this! I'll be forever in your debt.

Syuzo: Thank you Gongenzaka. He was talking to me about it for the last hour.

Gongenzaka: It's fine! I, the man Gongenzaka, will do whatever it takes to help my friends!

Matthew looks at his disk.

Disk: Charged and ready to jump.

Matthew: One thing Syuzo. I have some things I need to do for the next 10 days. I know I should've told you in advance, but I need to do this.

Syuzo: That's fine. We still need to set up your classes, so it should be ready by then.

Matthew: Great! Now Gongenzaka, I once again thank you. You really helped me. I'll repay you one day.

Gongenzaka: It's fine Matthew. This is the address.

Matthew: Thanks. I'm off.

Matthew swiftly walks to the address and opened the door to see a well-furnished house that 3-4 people can sleep in. The second was next door and was good enough for two people. The boy looks at his disk and thought of something as he presses the X portal.

Meanwhile in the Xyz dimension.

Yuto was running with Avery, Rio, and Ryoga to a Xyz base when they were intercepted by three Academia students. One was very muscular as his outfit represented a dinosaur and military theme while wearing a yellow jacket. Another one has a slightly tattered black jacket that covers a purple shirt. The last one has a simple yellow Academia outfit.

?: The famous Yuto and Ruri? I thought Yuri took Ruri back to the Fusion dimension.

?2: It might be her Standard counterpart. If we take her to the professor we might get promoted.

?3: Don't be reckless, Jun. Yuto is highly ranked on our wanted list for his skills.

Jun: C'mon Daichi! We can take care of them.

Daichi: Then will you take care of Yuto? We can all take care of him if we teamed up, but the other's over there will make this impossible. What about you, Tyranno?

Tyranno: Why don't we just let them through? I don't feel comfortable carding people.

Daichi: If the commander finds out that we did something like that, he'll card us immediately. We have to at least try and defeat them.

Tyranno: Alright then.

The three Academia students activate their duel disk as Yuto gives Ryouga and Ryo each a duel disk and activates his.

Yuto: We have to get through them quickly.

?: That won't be happening.

Avery turns around to see two more Academia members. She sees a pair of twins walking next to each other. One has a white jacket while the other has a blue jacket to tell the difference.

?2: C'mon Keith. Let's have some fun at least.

Keith: Alright Luke. I need to let loose after all that training with those noobs.

Ryouga: We're trapped. We're also outnumbered.

Suddenly a flash of light appears blinding everyone and Matthew appears when the flash ends.

Matthew: Well, that's hectic. Huh? What's going on?

Matthew looks around him to see his sister with Yuto and two other people he didn't recognize and he was surrounded by other members.

Matthew: Yo Avery. Yuto. What kind of party are we in? Why was I not invited? Was it because I was in school. That hurts you know. (He looks at Ryouga and Rio) Also nice to meet you two. I'm Matthew. Avery's older brother.

Ryouga: Oh. So these number cards are yours.

Matthew looks to see Shark Drake, Silent Horror Ark, and Abyss Splash. He also sees Ragnazero in the other girl's hand.

Matthew: Keep those. I don't need them.

Avery: These are Ryouga and Rio. We saved them a bit earlier.

Matthew: Cool. How about Rio and Me over here take the twins and you three take the other three? Avery! Take this!

Avery catches one card.

Avery: Thanks. Yuto, you and Ryouga are with me.

Yuto: Sure, why not.

Keith: I don't know how you got one of our disks but I'll have to card you later!

Matthew: You can try. C'mon Rio. Let's show them who's boss.

Rio: Right.

Duel!

Matthew - LP 4000

Rio - LP 4000

Luke - LP 4000

Keith - LP 4000

Avery: Charge through!

Ryouga: Right!

Daichi: Jun! Tyranno! We have to capture the target.

Jun: We know Dachi. Let's just get through with this already.

Duel!

Avery - LP 4000

Ryouga - LP 4000

Yuto - LP 4000

Jun - LP 4000

Tyranno - LP 4000

Daichi - LP 4000

Matthew: I'll start! Millennium Rings effect activates. It will be immediately used in a Pendulum Scale. I, with Scale 1 Millennium Ring and Scale 9 Blue Eyes Pendulum Dragon, I set the Pendulum scale! Now, I can summon monsters levels 2 through 8 simultaneously! Guided in this world, break the dimensional shift and create a new future! Pendulum Summon! Come forth my monsters! Prime Material Dragon (LV 6, 2400 ATK) and Tasuke Knight (LV 4, 1700 ATK)!

Rio: Pendulum?

Luke: So this is the rumored Pendulum Summoning that beat Brandon. Interesting.

Matthew: Oh Brandon talked about me. (sarcastic) I'm so flattered! I activate Graceful Charity! I can draw three cards and then send two cards to the graveyard. Next, I summon the tuner monster Junk Synchron (LV 3, 1300 ATK)! Quillbolt Hedgehog's ability activates! When I have a tuner monster on the field I can special summon it (LV 2, 800 ATK). Next, I activate Junk Synchron's effect. When I successfully summon this monster, I can special summon one level 2 or lower monster from the graveyard! Come on out Speed Warrior (LV 2, 300 DEF)! I tune my Level Two Quillbolt Hedgehog to the Level Three Junk Synchron! The stars come together to call forth a new power! Become the path that lights the way! Synchro Summon! Come! Level 5! Junk Warrior (LV 5, 2300 ATK)!

Keith: A Synchro user? This just became interesting!

Matthew: Next his ability activates! When I have a level two or lower monster out on the field, Junk Warrior gains that monster's attack! Power of fellows! (2300 → 3200 ATK)! Next I activate the spell card Solid Overlay! I can use this as a Level Four monster in a Xyz summoning! I Overlay the Level 4 Tasuke Knight and Solid Overlay! Carry hope on white wings! The Messenger of Light! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Number 39 Utopia (Rank 4, 2500 ATK)!

Luke: An Xyz user as well? What is going one?

Matthew: Finally I activate Millenium Ring's Pendulum effect! I can fuse two monsters on my field or hand without a fusion card, but the monster loses its effects!

Rio: You already Pendulum Summon this turn.

Matthew: Exactly! Now, I fuse Speed Warrior and Prime Material Dragon! The warrior that breezes with speed. The dragon in its prime. Become one and may the world blaze in your everlasting glory! Fusion Summon! Soar through the sky! Level 9! First of the Dragons(LV 9, 2700 ATK)! Junk Warrior attack becomes normal as well. (3200 → 2300 ATK). I end my turn with one card facedown.

Luke: Pendulum into Xyz, Synchro, and Fusion. He basically used all summoning methods except Ritual. This could be a problem. My move! I draw! I activate Pot of Greed and draw two cards. Then I activate the spell card Fusion and fuse using five dragons in my hand! Five dragons come together as one new monstrosity. Tremble before the combined might of earth, wind, fire, water, and darkness. Fusion Summon! Appear! Level 12! Five-Headed Dragon(LV 12, 5000 ATK)!

Matthew:... Welp, sorry Rio. Can't help you here.

Rio: What does that mean?!

Matthew: He can attack you right now.

Rio: What? Don't you have anything to help me?

Matthew: Nah. If they're like the Obelisk Forces, then they'll attack you when you're defenseless.

Luke: Oh. So you met the Obelisk Forces huh? Unlike them, us commanders fight with honor! We only attack people that went at least one turn.

Matthew: Cool then. I would've negated your attacks against Rio anyways.

Rio: You said you wouldn't be able to help me.

Matthew: Just thought you would focus a bit more. You're like my sister. Cute, even when your panicking.

Rio blushed as she kicked Matthew in the stomach causing him to fall down. She looked away at him and made a pouty face.

Matthew: Ok. I did deserve that. Ow ow ow.

Keith: Can you two leave your lovers quarrel and get back to the duel.

Matthew: We just met!

Luke: Right... Five-Headed Dragon! Attack First of the Dragons! Elemental Stream!

Matthew: I activate the trap, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow! I can negate your attack and then reset this card!

Luke: So you can always use it once per turn. Interesting! You're like a jack of all trades with offense and defense. I set a card facedown and end my turn!

Rio: Right! I draw! I summon Blizzard Falcon (LV 4, 1500 ATK)! Next, I activate Blizzard Vision! I can special summon a monster with the same type, attribute, and level as my Blizzard Falcon! (LV 4, 0 ATK).

Matthew: Ooh. Two level 4s. Just don't summon Ragnazero. The spell my sister gave you lets you summon it no problemo.

Rio: I know how to duel! You're just like Ryouga. Always telling me how to duel. Do it again and I'll... freeze you!

Matthew gets down on his hands and knees in an apologizing stance.

Matthew: I'm sorry.

Rio looks at him with a smile as the other twins can't stop laughing.

Keith: My god… What is happening? This is hilarious.

Luke: Even though they're they're the enemy… if we win, I ain't carding them. I respect them too much.

Keith: Agreed.

Rio: Matthew. Fine. I forgive you.

Matthew gets up with full energy.

Matthew: Noice! Now let's see what you got.

Rio: Right! I Overlay the Level Four Blizzard Falcon and Blizzard Vision! Xyz Summon! Take flight! Rank 4! Ice Beast Zerofyne (Rank 4, 2000 ATK)!

Luke: 2000 ATK? That's not enough against my dragon.

Rio: That's why I have spells. I activate the spell Blizzard Jet! My monster gains 1500 attack points until the end phase (2000 → 3500 ATK) I know that's not enough, so I activate Distortion Crystal! Whenever your monster attack changes the amount that is changed, doubles. I finally activate the spell, Zero-Blade! My Ice Beast Zerofyne can make a second attack and your monster losses 1000 attack.

Matthew: Due to Distortion Crystal, 5-Headed Dragon would lose 2000 attack instead. (5000 → 3000).

Luke: You use your spells well. You think by destroying my monster and then attacking again I'll lose. Naive!

Rio: We'll see! Battle! Ice Beast Zerofyne attacks 5-Headed Dragon! Ice Ray!

Luke - LP 4000 → 3500

Smoke cleared up, but 5-Headed Dragon was still on the field.

Matthew: What?! She attacked! You lost Life Points. What's going on?

Luke: 5-Headed Dragon cannot be destroyed by battle except by light attribute monsters.

Rio: Then, I attack again! Ice Ray!

Luke - LP 3500 → 3000

Rio: I end my turn with a facedown!

Luke: All your spells are destroyed now. My monsters attack becomes normal now. (3000 → 5000 ATK)

Keith: My turn, draw! I activate the spell Advanced Ritual Art! I can summon any 1 Ritual Monster by sending Normal Monsters from my deck to the Graveyard whose total Levels is equal to the Level of my Ritual Monster!

Matthew: Ritual? I thought no one used that anymore.

Keith: Well, I use it so prepare for my power. I send Metal Armored Bug from my deck to the graveyard! Wretched executioner of the blue flame! Fuel the flames of Hades and strike everything beneath you! Ritual Summon! Appear! Level 8! Demise King of Armageddon (LV 8, 2400 ATK)! I activate his effect. By paying 2000 Life Points, I can destroy all cards on the field!

Matthew: Oh dear.

Keith - LP 4000 → 2000

Every single card except Demise King of Armageddon was destroyed including Matthew's Pendulum Scale.

Matthew: Millenium Ring is not affected by card effects.

Rio: You destroyed your brother's monster as well though.

Luke: We already planned for that. You should be worrying about your life.

Keith: Exactly! Battle! I attack you Rio with Demise King of Armageddon! Blazing Axe of Hades!

Rio - LP 4000 → 1600

Keith: I end with two facedowns!

Matthew: Well, my turn! Draw! I need cards! I activate Cards of Sanctity! Now everyone draws until they have six cards! Perfect! I, using the already set Scale 1 Millenium Ring and Scale 7 Sky Dragoons of Draconia, I reset the Pendulum Scale! I can now summon monsters Level 2 through 6 simultaneously! Once again, guide me in this world and break the dimensional shift to create a new future! Pendulum Summon! Appear! Gagaga Girl (LV 3, 1000 ATK), T.G. Striker (LV 2, 800 ATK), and Krebons (LV 2, 1200 ATK)! Next, I summon Synchron Explorer (LV2, 0 ATK)! I activate his effect! I can special summon one tuner from my graveyard, with its effect negated! Appear, once again! Junk Synchron! I tune the Level Three Gagaga Girl and Level Two Synchron Explorer to the Level Three Junk Synchron! The Pulse of the king now forms a line here! Witness the power of the rumbling heavens! Synchro Summon! Appear my soul's white light! The whitest will! Level 8! Red Dragon Archfiend (LV 8, 3000 ATK)!

Luke: Trying to hit me and finish me off? It won't be that easy!

A sudden white aura surrounds Matthew, but quickly disappeared before anyone noticed! Suddenly after that Matthew started to feel strange as he drops down on the floor losing consciousness.

Rio: Matthew! Are you ok?

Matthew:... Heh. Better than ever.

The aura from before surrounds Matthew once again except everyone sees it around of him.

Keith: What on earth? This pressure... The energy he's releasing is powerful.

Rio: Matthew... What the hell happened to you?

Matthew: w-we wi-will... beco...me one...

Luke: Can you repeat that?

Matthew: We will become one!

The white aura around Matthew is mixed with a black aura that came in the direction of Avery's duel as Matthew laughs shaking the area around everyone.

Matthew: We will become one! Co- Urgh

Matthew dropped down to one knee panting as the aura quickly disappears once more.

Matthew: W-what the hell? (He looks around him to see that he was in a duel.) Oh crap! It's my turn still!

Luke: Are we not going to talk about what just happened? That dude went full demon lord on us just now. I don't feel comfortable pissing this guy off.

Keith: Can't really talk now.

Matthew: What just went over me just now... Anyways! My turn isn't over! Burning Soul! I double tune the Level Eight Red Dragon Archfiend to the Level One Turbo Synchron and Level Three Drill Synchron! The king and devil now merge here! Rugged soul! Give the roar that created heaven and earth! Synchro Summon! Come, Red Nova Dragon (LV 12, 3500 ATK)! Its effect activates, and my monster gains 500 attack for every single tuner monster in my graveyard! Since there are three tuners, my dragon gains 1500 attack! (3500 → 5000) Battle! Red Nova Dragon! Attack the left brother! Burning Soul!

Keith: Don't think so! Your draw card benefited me as well! I activate Battle Fader's ability! When my opponent declares a direct attack, I can special summon it and end the battle phase! (LV 1, 0 Def)

Matthew: Damn! I end my turn!

Luke: Well my turn! I draw! I activate Fusion again and once again fuse all five dragons in my hand! Five dragons come together as one new monstrosity. Tremble before the combined might of earth, wind, fire, water, and darkness. Fusion Summon! Appear! Level 12! Five-Headed Dragon(LV 12, 5000 ATK)!

Rio: So, that's why Keith destroyed everything. They planned for what came next.

Luke: Yep. Sorry miss, but this is it for you in this duel! Battle! I attack you Rio with 5-Headed Dragon! Elemental Stream!

Matthew: I activate Red Nova Dragon's effect! Once, per turn when you attack, I can banish this card to negate the battle! At the end phase, this card will come back to the field!

Keith: A monster, who basically can't be attacked and it already has an absurd amount of attack. A truly powerful weapon.

Luke: Yeah. I end my turn with a facedown!

Matthew: Now, Red Nova Dragon returns to the field!

Rio: I draw! Matthew! I'll use the monster you gave me! I activate the spell, Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One! I can special summon a monster between 101 to 107 ignoring it's summoning conditions! Appear! Number 103 Ragnazero! I can then rank it up into a chaos Xyz monster! The Infinite power that can freeze even time, revives! Chaos Xyz Change! Rise up! Rank 5! Chaos Number 103 Ragnafinity (Rank 5, 2800 ATK)! Battle! I attack Demise King of Armageddon with Ragnafinity!

Keith - LP 2000 → 1600

Keith: I activate the Trap Just Desserts! I can inflict 500 points of damage to my opponent's Life Points for each monster that my enemy controls. Since there is three, one for every opponent! All of you are taking 1500 points of damage!

Luke: I then activate the trap, Damage Diet! I take half the damage this turn! You guys aren't so lucky!

Luke - LP 3000 → 2250

Matthew - LP 4000 → 2500

Rio - LP 1600 → 100

Matthew: Rio! You alright?!

Rio: I'm still hanging! I activate the spell, Blustering Winds! One monster on the field gains 1000 attack until the beginning of my turn! I choose 5-Headed Dragon! (5000 → 6000 ATK)!

Luke: Why would you raise my attack? That's kinda weird.

Matthew: Because Ragnafinity ability activates. You take the difference in attack as damage by using one overlay unit.

Luke: Even still, I will only take half the damage.

Luke - LP 2250 → 1750

Rio: I end my turn with a facedown!

Keith: I'll finish this. I draw! I activate the Ritual Spell: Ritual of Destruction! I send Blade Knight and Jinzo from my hand to the graveyard. Evil lord wield everlasting chaos! Send your enemies to Tartarus and destroy everything into oblivion! Ritual Summon! Destroy, Garlandolf, King of Destruction (LV 7, 2500 ATK)! I activate the spell, Axe of Despair! I can equip this card on Garlandolf, King of Destruction and it gains 1000 attack! (2500 → 3500 ATK) Next, his effect activates! When this card is Ritual Summoned, I can destroy all monsters that defense is less than this monster's attack. Red Nova Dragon and Ragnafinity are destroyed!

Matthew: Red Nova Dragon cannot be destroyed by card effects.

Rio: When Ragnafinity is destroyed and it was ranked up from Ragnazero, I can special summon Ragnazero from the graveyard. (Rank 4, 1200 DEF)

Luke: Well, that basically changed nothing. Seriously, what can take down that godforsaken dragon?!

Matthew: The right combo!

Keith: Academia will make a note of this dragon. Since one monster was destroyed my monster gains 100 attack! (3500 → 3600 ATK) Now, Battle! Garlandolf, King of Destruction, attacks Ragnazero!

Rio: Ragnazero can only be destroyed by number monsters!

Keith and Luke look at each other with faces saying that they gave up.

Keith: Okay. I end my turn!

Matthew: I draw! I activate Pot of Greed and draw two more cards! I know what to do know. Guided in this world, break the dimensional shift and create a new future! Pendulum Summon! Pendulum Summon! I summon Gogogo Golem (LV 4, 1800 ATK) and Powered Tuner (LV 4, 1400 ATK)! I overlay the Level Four Gogogo Golem and Powered Tuner! Xyz Summon! Descend, Number 44: Sky Pegasus (LV 4, 1800 ATK)! I activate his effect, and by using Overlay Unit, I can target one monster on your field and destroy it! I choose 5-Headed Dragon! However, you can choose to negate it by losing 1000 Life Points.

Luke: I choose to negate it by 1000 points, and I activate Damage Diet's effect! By banishing it from the graveyard, I can half all effect damage I take this turn!

Luke - 1750 → 1250

Matthew: Ok then. Since Powered Tuner is in the Graveyard, Red Nova Dragon gains 500 more attack points. (5000 → 5500 ATK) I Overlay Rank 4 Sky Pegasus with its Overlay Units! The Shining Pegasus takes toward the skies. May your grace help your allies! Chaos Xyz Change! Appear, Chaos Number 44: Shining Sky Pegasus (Rank 4, 1800 ATK)!

Matthew looks at the brothers.

Matthew: What? Not surprised?

Luke: It's just that, we're tired of surprises. We get it. You have so much to show and that you're a talented duellist.

Keith: We kinda know that we lost.

Matthew: Sad. I activate Shining Sky Pegasus's effect! Once per turn, by using one Overlay Unit, all your monsters that are level 4 or higher lose 1000 ATK and DEF! (6000 → 5000) (3600 → 2600) Battle! Red Nova Dragon attack 5-Headed Dragon! Burning Soul! I then attack you with Shining Sky Pegasus!

Luke - LP 1250 → 0

Matthew: One left! I end my turn.

Keith: Nope! I give up. You two against me, I know when I'm outmatched. I forfeit! Especially that dragon, though. That's just bullshit!

Keith touches his deck.

Keith- LP 1600 → 0 (Surrendered)

Matthew & Rio Win!

Matthew: Woo! Rio that was well played!

Rio: You were amazing as well.

Matthew looks at the twins who got up.

Luke: That match seemed one-sided. Anyways that was fun, except for that satanic stuff, but yeah, still fun.

Keith: It was a pleasure dueling with you both. Let's hope we duel under a different circumstance.

The two activate their disks and pressed it as a flash occurred.

Matthew: They teleported.

Rio: Yeah. If I may ask, what was that earlier?

Matthew: What do you mean?

Rio: That aura thing and the whole "We Will Become One". I know I wasn't just seeing things.

Matthew: Honestly I don't know. That never happened before and it felt like I wasn't in control. It was painful. I couldn't breathe. It was gone as quickly as it left though.

Rio: Let's just hope, that'll never happen again.

Matthew: Yeah, you also need to clean up. There's dirt on your cute face.

Rio chases Matthew as he's running away laughing.

( A couple of minutes earlier)

Yuto: I'll start! I set 5 cards facedown! I end my turn!

Jun: Five set cards?! That's it?! I'll take care of this. I draw! I activate Heavy Storm and destroy all your set cards! I summon Bomb Dragon (LV 4, 1500 ATK)! Battle! I attack you directly!

Yuto: I activate the spells The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil! When these cards in the Graveyard, I can Special Summon one The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil per card in the graveyard and they're no longer treated as trap cards! Since there were three of these, I special summon three of them (LV 4, 300 Def)

Jun: You wanted that to happen then! Battle! I attack one of your Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil!

Yuto: When Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil is destroyed it goes to the banish zone.

Jun: I end my turn with one facedown cards.

Tyranno: My turn. Draw! I summon Archeonys (LV 3, 300 ATK)! I activate the spell, New Ultra Evolution! I can tribute a Winged Beast to special summon a dino from my hand! I tribute Archeonys to special summon Ultimate Tyranno (LV 8, 3000 ATK)! I activate its effect! When this monster is in face-up Attack Position at the beginning of my battle phase, I can attack all your monsters! Battle! I attack both of your Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil!

Yuto: They go to the banished zone now.

Tyranno: I end my turn.

Dachi: It's my turn! I draw! I activate the spell, Litmus Doom Ritual! I can send monsters from my hand equal or above Level Eight! I send Water Dragon from my hand to graveyard! Ritual Summon! Appear Litmus Doom Swordsman (LV 8, 0 ATK)!

Ryouga: Zero attack? How will that help?

Dachi: You'll see later! I end my turn with three facedown cards!

Avery: It's my turn! Draw! I set Scale 3 Elemental Hero Pendulum, Miko. Next, I activate Fusion! I fuse Elemental Hero Ocean and Elemental Woodsman! Warrior of the raging waters! Hero of the courageous earth! Merge together and become the symbol of righteousness and honor! Fusion Summon! Show yourself! Level 8! Courageous warrior of Earth! Elemental Hero Terra Firma (LV 8, 2500 ATK)!

Dachi: A Fusion Summon? You aren't Serena, so you're definitely from Standard!

Tyranno: Also. That's a Planet Series Card! Koyo Hibiki's at that!

Dachi: Which means he's gone.

Avery: Who? I got this from my brother. I don't know any Koyo Hibiki.

Dachi: Surely you jest. There is only one Elemental Hero Terra Firma in all of existence. That card belonged to a well-respected duelist named Koyo Hibiki! It was foolish that he opposed Academia though!

Avery: I don't know who you're talking about though! I activate Elemental Hero Pendulum Miko Pendulum effect activates! All Elemental Heroes monsters gain 500 attack and defense! (2500 → 3000) I also normal summon Elemental Hero Stratos (LV 4, 2300 ATK)! I activate Stratos's effect, and I draw a monster card from my deck! I activate Elemental Hero Terra Firma's effect! I can tribute an Elemental Hero to have Terra Firma gains attack equal to the Tributed monster's attack points. I tribute Elemental Hero Stratos, and Terra Firma gains 2300 attack! Terra Firma Magma! (3000 → 5300 ATK) Battle! Attack Litmus Doom Swordsman! Magma Slash!

Dachi: I activate the trap card Fusion Dispersal! When a Fusion Monster declares an attack, I can end the battle phase and send your fusion monster to the extra deck, and special summon the fusion materials back from your graveyard. You'll take damage equal towards the monster with the biggest attack.

Avery: What?

Ocean and Woodsman appeared on the field! (LV 4, 2000 ATK) (LV 4, 1500 ATK)

Avery- LP 4000 → 2000

Avery: Darn it! This can't get worse.

Dachi: That's where you're wrong. I activate the Continuous Trap, Magnet Force Plus! By equipping this card to my Swordsman, it can't declare an attack on a Plus monster! Also, Litmus Doom Swordsman gains 3000 attack if a trap is face-up on a field! (0 → 3000 ATK)

Avery: Phooey! I end my turn!

Ryouga: It's finally my turn! I activate the spell card Cross Draw of Destiny! Players draw a card and reveal it! If it's a monster, then they can special summon the monster on their field in defense position, and if they summon a monster, they gain Life Points equal towards the amount of attack!

Everyone drew a card and revealed it. The only monsters that were drawn were Ryouga and Jun.

Ryouga: I summon Cutter Shark (LV 5, 2000 DEF)!

Ryouga - LP 4000 → 6000

Jun: I summon Tusk Dragon (LV 4, 1000 DEF)!

Jun 4000 → 5800

Ryouga: Next, I Special Summon Big Jaws because I activated a Normal Spell Card! (LV 3, 1800 ATK) I then normal summon Skull Kraken (LV 3, 600 ATK)! I activate his effect, and when he is normal summoned, I can destroy one face-up Spell/Trap card on my opponent's field! I'll choose that continuous trap of yours. Now your swordsman losses all of his attack points.

Dachi: That would be the case, but I activate another one, and I again equip it onto my swordsman. Now, his attack remains the same.

Ryouga: Fine. I Overlay the Level 3 Big Jaws and Skull Kraken! Xyz Summon! Come on out, Submersible Carrier Aero Shark (Rank 3, 1900 ATK)! I activate its effect, and I use one Overlay Unit, and I Inflict 400 points of damage for every card in my hand. I have three cards, so you take 1200 points of damage. I choose you Jun! Torpedo Take Down!

Jun - LP 5800 → 4600

Ryouga: Battle! I attack Bomb Dragon with Submersible Carrier Aero Shark! Air Torpedo!

Jun: LP 4600 → 4500

Ryouga: I end with a facedown.

Yuto: My Turn! Matthew giving me this card kinda irritates me with the name, but I have to use it. I activate the spell Dimension Fusion! I can pay 2000 Life Points, and everyone can special summon monsters from their banished zones. I choose two Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil! They are still considered monster cards.

Yuto- LP 4000 → 2000

Yuto: I Overlay the two Level 4 Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil! Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (Rank 4, 2500 ATK)!

A black aura surrounds Yuto and his dragon as it roars in rage begging to come back to someone. Yuto eyes turned blue as his hair elevated to a levitated level.

Avery: Yuto? What's going one?

Yuto: We will become one!

An uneasy air feels the area has the ground starts to shake for an unknown reason. Everyone no one moved a muscle. Yuto quickly snaps back into reality as he looks around.

Yuto: Sorry. I suddenly snapped for some reason. It won't happen again. I activate Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon's effect and by using one Overlay Unit, I can half the attack of one monster and my dragon gains the attack! I choose Litmus Doom Swordsman! Treason Discharge! (3000 → 1500) (2500 → 4000) I use the last Overlay Unit and target Ultimate Tyranno! Treason Discharge! (4000 → 6500) (3000 → 1500) Battle! I attack Litmus Doom Swordsman with Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon! Lightning Disobey of Rebellion!

Dachi - LP 4000 → 0

Jun: Dammit! What the hell! Dachi is down already.

Yuto: I end my turn! Dark Rebellion's attack becomes normal. (6000 → 2500)

Jun: I Draw! I summon Armored Dragon! (LV 4, 1900 ATK)! Next, I activate the trap Dragon Switch! I tribute my two dragons to special summon one Level Seven or higher Dragon from my hand! I tribute Tusk Dragon and Armored Dragon! Come out, Hurricane Dragon (LV 7, 2200 ATK)! Battle! I attack Elemental Hero Woodsman with Hurricane Dragon!

Ryouga: I activate the trap, Quaking Mirror Force! When my opponent declares an attack, I can change all opponent's monsters to set down defense position, and they can't change their battle position!

Jun: What?! Ugh! I end my turn!

Tyranno: My turn! Draw! ...I end my turn with two facedowns!

Jun: Tyranno! You should've done something else!

Tyranno: I had nothing at the time Jun!

Avery: Oh that sucks Mister Mean Dino! Time to finish you both off! Draw! I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman (LV 4, 2100 ATK)! Matthew… Give me strength! I Overlay Level 4 Elemental Hero Sparkman and Elemental Hero Woodsman! Lady hero that soars through the future skies! Please lend me the strength needed to push through the wretched! Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 4! Number 27: Elemental Hero Future Blaster (Rank 4, 2300 ATK)!

Tyranno: An Elemental Hero Xyz monster?!

Jun: Just who is she?

Avery: I activate Elemental Hero Future Blaster's effect! By using, one Overlay Unit, this card can attack twice! Battle! I attack the set Hurricane Dragon! Twin Buster!

Hurricane Dragon (LV 7, 1800 DEF)

Avery: Hurricane Dragon is banished instead of going to the graveyard, due to Future Blaster's effect! I then attack you directly Jun! Twin Buster!

Jun - LP 4500 → 2200

Avery: I activate Elemental Hero Future Blaster's effect! When I directly attack you, I gain 100 Life Points per card banished! Since there are two banished, I gain 200 points!

Avery- LP 2000 → 2200

Avery: I end my turn, and Elemental Hero Future Blaster's last effect activates. I can target and special summon one monster that is Level Four or lower! I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman (LV 4, 2100 ATK)!

Ryouga: My turn! I activate the spell Rank-Up-Magic- The Seventh One! I can summon a Number Monster between Numbers 100 and 108 and chaosify it! Come on out, Number 101: Silent Honor ARK! I then Chaosify it! Guardian of souls that have yet to mature, become the dark knight and crush the light! Chaos Xyz Change! Appear, Chaos Number 101: Silent Honor Dark (Rank 5, 2800 ATK)! I activate his effect, and one can target one monster that my opponent controls. That monster becomes an Overlay Unit for my Silent Honor Dark! I choose your set Ultimate Tyranno! (OU 1 → 2)

Jun: We're both completely opened! Dachi was right. We weren't ready yet.

Ryouga: I activate Submersible Carrier Aero Shark's effect! I have one card in my hand, so you Jun take 300 points!

Jun - LP 2200 →1900

Ryouga: Battle! I attack you Jun directly with Submersible Carrier Aero Shark!

Ryouga: I then attack you Tyranno directly with Silent Honor Dark!

Tyranno - LP 4000 → 1200

Ryouga: I end my turn!

Yuto: Draw! This is the end for you Academia soldiers. Go back to where you belong! I attack with Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon! Lightning Disobey of Rebellion!

Tyranno - LP 1200 → 0

Yuto, Ryouga, and Avery Wins!

Jun: Darn it!

Dachi: I knew we didn't stand a chance. If Commanders Luke and Keith were here, then we would've taken care of them.

Jun: Then we should've dealt with them earlier!

Tyranno: Please calm down. We need to retreat. We're scheduled to get our new cards soon anyways.

Dachi: That's the smart move right now.

The three Academia students left and shortly.

Meanwhile

Matthew was wincing at the pain as his left eye was black for a mysterious as he was walking

Matthew: What's wrong with complimenting someone? I mean we just met and all and ok I understand, people think that I'm a player. What the hell was I doing?

Rio: It's nothing. At school, everyone was drooling all over me and wanted me on their sports teams because I have a pretty face. You flirting was no different.

Matthew: What? Let me guess, you wager that if they beat you then you'll join them.

Rio: Exactly. It was either the sport or a duel, but you seem like you can hold yourself in a duel. However, I see something wrong with your deck. You seem like you need a lot of cards to actually pull off any combos and if you don't have the right cards, you're basically guaranteed failure.

Matthew: You caught that after only one duel, huh? Yeah, it's true. I have a couple of draw cards in my deck and some still have some more in my backpack. I can't do anything without them. Everything else has just been plain luck.

Rio: Wouldn't be better if you had a proper deck that doesn't need that many cards to do actual plays?

Matthew: Nah, I've used this deck for a long time now, and I aren't going to change that anytime soon. Plus, having more cards is always useful. I just seem to have luck. That and I believe in the heart of the cards. Anyway's Rio, it sounds like your pretty famous at school.

Rio: What about it?

Matthew: Nothing. It just sounded like Avery when she first started school. My lord, she was so famous that everyone of all ages stared at her. I had to push back some people when they got to close to us, but oh man. Nobody ever knew about what she did back at the orphanage though.

Rio: Really, mind telling me?

Matthew: Hmm. I feel like, I can trust you, Rio. Sure I'll tell you.

Matthew carefully whispers all the little things that he and Avery did at his old home. Rio's eyes enlarged so much that they became plates.

Rio: That is so cute. That really suits her so well.

Matthew: But, so embarrassing. She made me swear not to tell anyone, once one of my old friends found out about this well he had a pretty good reason not to tell anyone. Maybe, you can use that as a joke.

Rio: I'll think about it. Hey, it looks like that's them over there.

Matthew and Rio walk up to Yuto, Avery, and Ryouga taking a quick break from their duel with Hun, Tyranno, and Dachi.

Matthew: Looks like you guys handled them no problem. I knew my sister was finally able to win.

Avery: Hey! I've only lost to you once! Once! You'll never let me go for that! That's how many times we dueled.

Matthew: You still lost that though. Anyways. We need to move. I have a feeling there are Academia Students around this place.

Avery: Wait. What happened to you?!

Everyone saw Matthew's black eye as he laughed it off while sneaking a look at Rio. Ryouga caught note of this.

Matthew: Nothing bad, Avery. I just got hit very hard by someone. Nothing life-threatening.

Avery: Alright then. How much further until we reach the base Yuto?

Yuto: Not that far over… an old spade branch base is right around the corner. The rendezvous point with Kurosaki is not far afterward.

Matthew who perked up (who also somehow lost his black eye) was curious.

Matthew: Spade? What the heck are you talking about?

Rio: Huh? Don't you know of the branches of Heartland Duel School?

Avery: Ahh, I forgot to tell you guys. Let's meet up with Kurosaki.

Done and done! Thanks for reading my bad writing and I hope you'll continue to read my stories. Why the hell did previous me make Matthew a flirty guy, I just don't get it? It doesn't suit him at all... ok a little as he like entertaining the crowd.(You guys) I'll start writing soon enough. The next chapter will come before the end of the February, so I want to post chapters at least once a month. See you all next time then. Also, what's Misaki's personality? If she's interesting, then maybe.
