Hey gang. Today is finally the end of the intro arc and now we entered the Maiami Championship Arc (Part of the original canon to the series to those that didn't know, to which, you should really watch the anime.) The chapter is extra big because I decided to change the writing style. The name colon style was starting to get on my nerves as well so I changed it to a normal story. Hope you guys like this edit. With that being said, two duels per chapter as always!
"Damn it!" Yu yelps as he, Asaia, Rei, and Johan fall onto the floor in who knows where. "Jeez, where the hell are we?"
"I don't know. I think we've been teleported somewhere else. Give me a second to find out." Asaia checks his duel disk. "Disk says that we're in Standard? How the heck did that happened?"
"Maybe you're disk is broken. Perhaps the light short-circuited it." Johan says as everyone looks at him. "What is it?"
"Nothing. Just no offense and all, but you did have us at our necks. How come you Smile World in your possession?" Rei asks as Johan takes out the card and looks at it.
"I'm not from the Fusion Dimension. I'm from Standard and good friends with Yuya who looks a lot like Yu."
"So I've noticed. Now how did you being good friends with Yuya turn into you being a spy hidden in Academia ranks?"
"My parents and I were moving to a new city, but it turns out we were going to the Xyz Dimension with Yusho to help with the problem. Guess over time, as I grew older I started to help in the war. Now with my crystal beasts, I started becoming a soldier and this was one of my missions. To help any people that were in trouble and possibly recruit new members. And over time, I recruited someone named Asuka to help us. Does that help?"
"Yeah, it does. Now, this area looks familiar to me… I think this is downtown Maiami City. Which means that yeah, we're in Standard alright. If that's the case, then I'm going to report to Reiji. He should know what's going on." Asaia walks away before turning to a wall and takes the poster before walking back to Yu and hands it to him. "Maybe you should join. This is how we're getting candidates for our Lancers. With that, peace!"
Yu and Rei look at the poster. Maiami City: Arc League Championship was on it with a bunch of labels such as the address to sign up, dates, and requirements.
"Hey, this is pretty good. This may just be what we need. We can see how the other duelists are, but for now… Let's head to my house. My disk says that it's just a couple of blocks away. Rei, you're new to this dimension, you can sleep there."
"Really? And what about Johan?"
"Don't worry about me. I have the perfect place to sleep. We'll meet at Yusho's Dueling School, ok?"
"Yeah. That works for us. Seeya, I guess."
Rei and Yu wave at Johan who walks in the opposite direction and the two headed to Yu's apartment. After settling the rooms, Yu makes some tea for him and Rei and they discuss, what happened.
"Ok, so after Leo did the whole, I'm going to kill you anyways shenanigan, a light came from behind us, aka Ruri and Rin. However, the interesting part was their wrists. That was where the light was coming from." Yu takes out a box from his backpack, which makes Rei curious. "New cards. Don't worry too much about them."
Yu opens the box and inside it was three cards to his surprise. He reads it for a bit and then the door on his left opens revealing Avery in Pajamas which makes Yu and Rei jump.
"What the!? Rei? What are you doing here?" Rei asks in confusion. Rei's outburst also causes Avery to snap out of her dreamy state and realized what was going on?
"Huh? Rei?! Yu!? You guys are back? What happened?"
"Nothing good, sis… How'd ya even get a key into my place?"
"Oh uh, Riku gave me a spare key to your apartment. He said not to go too into it. Um, let me get into my outdoor clothes."
Avery dashes into her room and the two look at each other. She then barges through the door with a black tank top and white skirt which is accompanied by a pink jacket, along with white gloves and boots.
"Oh. New outfit. It looks good on you. Now, you must have some questions about our time at Academia, and I can say that-" The front door opens which interrupts Yu to find Rio standing there. "Uh… What's with all the girls here?"
"You have no idea? You know everyone here, big bro. Ya have some explaining to do." Avery said with a snide expression. "Rio, what brings you here? Or how did you get here?"
"I used an Academia agent's duel disk to get here. Ryouga didn't want me to be at Neo-Heartland and thought that it would be better to be with you guys, getting new allies, and becoming a better duelist. I don't need to do that, I'm an amazing duelist. I can take care of myself on my own."
"Now hold on, Rio. Before we get on any I should've done this. Blah blah blah. Sit down and have some tea. I made a pot and there's is more than enough for everyone."
"Oh sure." Rio sits down next to Rei. "Hi. I'm Rio."
"I'm Rei. It's a pleasure to meet you, Rio. Now, Yu. How did you meet Rio?"
Yu looks up after serving Rio and Avery their drinks. He sits down a bit nervously.
"Funny you would ask that. I just appeared out of nowhere. Rio was with her brother Ryouga, Avery, and our friend Yuto who is somewhere in this city. I teleported from Standard into the Xyz dimension and literally popped up in the middle of these guys as they were about to be jumped. A duel later and some chatting, Rio and I became quick friends."
"Well that's the simplified version of it. You're not including all of the-"
"Nope, nothing. As simple as that. Nothing more to it." Yu tries to hold his flirty thing a secret.
"Ok then. How did you meet Rei? That must be an interesting story to hear."
"This one is more plausible. After the whole Avery being kidnapped by Akira and Riku." Rei looks shocked by the fact while Avery scoffs at the fact. "For safety reasons. Anyways, I was doing some scouting around and a certain Rei Saotome was missing as I found her and took down three Academia grunts by myself. Afterward, she and I infiltrated Academia until a certain incident to now where we are."
"Wow, a white knight in shining armor. Fits your shirt that's for sure. So, what's the plan now?"
Yu shows the poster that Asaia showed him. "I'm planning on participating in this here tournament. This event is supposed to be how we get people to join our group, "the Lancers". Rei and I were planning on signing up, you two wanna join as well?"
"I've already signed up myself and you, Yu. That means Rei has to sign up herself." Avery looks through some cards in her hand and Rio looks at the flyer.
"Yeah, I'll enter the tournament. I'll take a look at all the new duelists. Yu, you've been here before, who would make good candidates." Rio asks as Yu takes out a card.
"Yuya Sakaki is probably my leading man. I feel like I have this connection with him. Not just that, but he is Yusho's son and the creator of one of the summoning methods that I use, Pendulum. That itself gives me enough reason to go for him."
Suddenly the door is forced open as the whole group stands up. It's Yuzu and she is looking furious.
"Come on out you coward! Where are you?! I know you stole Yuya's Pendulum cards, again! Now give them back!" Yuzu stares blankly at Rio. "Who are you? You're not Sawatari!"
"I'm who!? That doesn't matter. Why the heck are you barging into other people's houses?" Rio makes a comeback as Yu puts a hand on Rio's shoulder. This allows Yuzu to see Yu's head.
"Hey Yuzu. It's been a while but sorry, don't know any Sawatari or anything about Yuya's Pendulum cards." Yuzu looks at Yu then back to Rio then back to Yu before blushing in embarrassment as she bows to Rio.
"Oh my gosh! I'm really sorry! I thought this was Shingo Sawatari's house!" Yu shakes his head and holds out the key. "Oh, this is your house, Yu."
"What was this about Yuya's Pendulum cards that you were flipping out all over?" Yuzu looks at Rei before giving a proper explanation.
"This duelist named Sawatari recently ran off with some Pendulum cards that my friend Yuya owned. I ran off before hearing the full description of where he lived… And that's how I ended up here."
"I think that's the main point that you should really be paying attention for. Otherwise, you're on a wild goose chase." Avery is adding more salt to Yuzu's wounds.
"I know and I'm so sorry again, Yu for barging in. And I'm so sorry miss for randomly accusing you of card theft. I rushed in here so fast that I forgot to ask what your name was!"
"It's no problem. I'm Rio. Pleasure to meet you."
"I'm Rei. One of Yu's new friends."
"And I'm Avery, Yu's little sister. Say can I get a closer look at you?" Avery looks at Yuzu's face and Yuzu is starting to see the resemblance. "We look the same… Oh well. Probably nothing special."
"Well, it's nice to meet all of you! I'm Yuzu Hiiragi! Ah!" Yuzu's phone rings and she answers. "Yes. A huh. Ok. Aya is looking for me. Alright, I'll look for her. Thank you Gongenzika. Please excuse me, I think I found out something about Yuya's cards."
" But first you said again? So this is not the first time?" Yuzu shakes her head as Yu facepalms. "Do you need any help with this? I could help if I know what the guy looks like." Yuzu shakes her head. "No? All right then. Good luck I guess."
Yuzu dashes out the house as Avery looks at her brother. "You're going to follow her anyways because you know that you're going to have to duel this Sawatari, right?" Yu nods in excitement. "Of course you are. Then I'll take Rei and Rio to sign up for the tournament. Now try not to get in too much trouble, ok?"
"Eh, I'll try! See ya guys."
The Human

Chapter 11: The Beginning of the Canon (finally)
After some snooping around near where Yuzu we're, Yu decides to walk casually up to Yuzu without bringing the slightest bit of suspension to himself.
(Btw. I know this event is when Sawatari dueling Yuya, and the next event is when Yuto is introduced into the series. This might sound off.)
"Oh, hey Yu! It's kinda funny that we bump into each other so soon after what happened. I was just doing some shopping right now, so I was surprised to see you here." Yu gives a weird look.
"Wait, thought you were looking for Yuya's cards. What happened?"
"Oh, that! I'm just waiting for the time to pass while Aya coming here. You've met Aya, right? She was at You Show Duel School back when we dueled."
"Yeah, I remember. The short girl with red hair. I kinda think that she has the talent for dueling. It's a feeling that I have. She's coming because she had something about Sawatari?"
"That's what I think. Hey, that's her over there." Yuzu waves at Aya who was heavy breathing. "Aya. What's wrong?"
"Yuzu-nee-chan… Yuya's Pendulum cards were not stolen! Yuya just lost them under his bed." This message made Yu and Yuzu both dumbfounded. "However, I saw the people from before that took Yuya's Pendulum cards. They were laughing about how they took his cards and stuff."
"Why that little weasel!? Ayu! Do you know which way they went?"
"I heard them talking about an abandoned warehouse of some sort."
"Abandoned warehouse? Well that sure doesn't sound suspicious in the slightest. Make this look like some action movie! Oh man! I am too excited about this." Yu pumps himself secretly.
"Yeah. Thanks, Aya. You have been a great helper. Alright, Yu! I'm going to bet the crap out of that Sawatari kid! Wait for me here!" Yuzu dashes off leaving Yu and Aya.
"I hope she'll be alright by herself…"
"Ah hell no. I want in on this. Aya, you're fine by yourself, right?" Aya nods in response. "Alright then. I'm following Yuzu."
Abandoned Warehouse # 5
"Sawatari! These cards will make your deck super strong!" One of Sawatari's lackeys was admiring Sawatari's deck.
"Che che che! Correction… It isn't the cards that make your deck strong, but the skill of the Duelist that makes it powerful. In essence, with these cards, I'll be the most powerful Duelist in the world!" Sawatari continues to gloat at how fabulous and amazing he is while his lackeys cheer for him.
The door of the warehouse opens and Yuzu enters the scene. "I finally found you Sawatari! The gig is up!"
"What? Who are you?"
"Our base is under attack! Alert security!"
"You're not going to get away this time Sawatari!" Sawatari takes a look at Yuzu and freaks out.
"Yuzu Hiiragi! How did you find our secret hideout?!"
"Enough of your pathetic chatter! I'm here to Duel you!"
"You… Duel against me? Are you sure that's a wise decision?"
"You must be stalling cause you're afraid you'll lose to a girl!" The two are going at each other's necks to make the other person back down.
"Hmph… You sure do seem confident in yourself."
"And she should be!" Everyone looks at the door to see Yu kicking it open while wearing cheap dollar store sunglasses. "She could possibly take ya down if she really wants to, but I'm in the mood to stop your shenanigans."
"What the heck? Yuya Sakaki is here as well!? This might be bad!"
"I'm Yuya!? I may look like the guy but I am my own person. Now I wanna duel you so let's have fun!" Yu takes off his glasses in a dramatic way.
"Yu!? What are you doing here?! You're here to help me and thanks. But everything here's under control! I don't want to drag anyone else into this mess!" Yu activates his duel disk. "Yu!? Didn't you hear me?"
"Oh yeah, I heard you. I just didn't really care for the let me handle this by myself business. I'm here because I feel like it. Nothing else."
Sawatari now has a smug look. "Is he supposed to be like your knight in shining armor or something? Really fits your shirt after all."
"Hey! My friend made that joke! I am not letting you do that. Now hurry up and activate your duel disk."
"Fine! This'll be the perfect chance to test out my new deck! I'll crush you!"
(Play Madina Lake - Hey Superstar during this duel!)
"Duel!"
Yu - LP 4000
Sawatari - LP 4000
"Would you mind if I'm the one that goes first?" Yu asks.
"Nah it's fine. Go wild for all I care."
"Good then! I set my whole hand and then end my turn." This move shocks everyone in the room.
"Wait? That's it! You come in here and act all cool, and that's all you can do? You didn't draw a single monster?" Sawatari and his posse start to laugh as Yuzu looks at Yu who smiles at her.
"Excuse me. But I believe I said that I end my turn! Would you mind that you shut up and actually duel me?" Yu puts his hands behind his head, looking really bored.
"Heh. I'll show you my perfect dueling. My turn, draw! Allow me to use those set cards of yours. If there are two or more cards in my opponent's Spell or Trap Zone, I can Special Summon this card from my hand! Come forth, Escher the Frost Vassal! And now I release Escher and Advance Summon… Mobius the Frost Monarch! (Lv 6, 2400 Atk)"
"Yeah! In an instant, Sawatari summoned a 2400 Atk monster!"
"Mobius' effect activates! When this card is successfully Advanced Summoned. I can choose two Magic or Trap Cards on the field, and destroy them! Freeze burst! And I'm not done yet! I activate the Magic Card: Advance Carnival! This card allows me to Advance Summon again after one Advance Summon succeeds! I release Mobius the Frost Monarch and Advance Summon! Come forth, Mobius the Mega Monarch! (Lv 8, 2800 Atk) Usually, this would require releasing two monsters but, if it is a monster that was successfully Advanced Summoned, you can release it and have one count as two! That is the power of Mobius the Mega Monarch!"
"Jeez, you talk big, but you don't even do any fancy summoning. Fine. What's next?"
"Mobius the Mega Monarch effect activates! When this card is successfully Advanced Summoned, I can choose three Magic or Trap cards on the field, and destroy them!"
"Hey, Knight-kun! How about using those cards before they get destroyed!"
"It'd be pointless because Mobius was Advance Summoned using a Water-type monster, the targeted cards can't activate. I know the monster's effect already, just hurry up!" Yu is starting to wish that he didn't come here."
"Looks like Knight-kun isn't that dumb! Freeze and shatter! Blizzard Destruction!"
Massive blizzard storm destroys all of the cards on Yu's field as Yuzu feels weird.
"How come I can feel the wind even though this isn't an Action Field?"
"With this, all of your set cards have been destroyed and your hand is at zero. On top of that, you don't have any wall monsters out. After that cool entrance, this is pretty pathetic."
"Yu! You need to get it together. If this is all you can do then it'd be better if you let me-"
"I'm sorry Yuzu, but who won our duel against each other?" Yuzu is taken back by Yu's hidden smile. "I wanted this to happen."
"Now then, my boring Knight-kun. I'm sorry for the rude awakening but I'd appreciate if you stepped down from the stage. Battle! I attack you directly with Mobius the Mega Monarch! Imperial Charge!"
"Finally! I activate an effect from my extra deck!" This news shocks everyone. "When I'm about to be attacked directly and I have no cards in my field or hand, I can special summon a certain monster from my extra deck to help me in battle! The Key to the Creation of the Universe, now open the Door of Darkness, and lead us to the future with your roar! Descend, Number 100: Numeron Dragon! (Rank 1, 0 Atk)"
"Holy cow! An Xyz Monster?! This guy is something!"
"Whatever! It's just a wall monster! I'll destroy it! Imperial Charge!"
"Tsk tsk tsk. So reckless! Numeron Dragon's effect! When any monster battles this card, their attack becomes 0 during the Battle Phase only! So take down Mobius the Mega Monarch!" (2800 → 0)
"Your monster is getting destroyed as well!"
"No, it won't. Number monsters cannot be destroyed by battle except with number monster, so take that! Deadly Final!"
Numeron Dragon shoots a golden beam of light that pierces Mobius the Mega Monarch which causes an explosion.
"Tsk! I activate the Magic Card: Monster Reborn! I Special Summon Mobius the Mega Monarch and then set a card facedown! You summoning a monster from the extra deck is quite interesting."
"Just wait, my good friend! Draw! Well ain't this a special one! I activate the Magic Card: Pot of Greed! It lets my Draw two cards to my hand! Perfect! I summon Psychic Prodigy! (Lv 4, 800 Atk) Next for the climax of this duel! I activate the Magic Card: Rank Up Magic the Seventh One! I can special summon a number Chaos 101 to 107 monster from my extra deck, using a monster from my field graveyard or extra deck. I'll summon Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon! Then I'll chaosify it! Pierce through the raging torrent of galaxies, and revive from the time before they ever existed! Chaos Xyz Change! The draconic star from beyond eternity! Manifest before us, Chaos Number 107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon! (Rank 9, 4500 Atk)"
The titanic monster stands tall causing everyone to look at it with fear in their eyes as Yuzu is amazed.
"You Xyz Summoned without monsters? And you also use Synchro and Pendulum. How good of a duelist are you?"
"Decent. Now Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon activates! By using 1 Chaos Overlay Unit, I can negate the effects of all other face-up cards currently on the field until the End Phase! It also negates the effects of all other cards activated this turn. Which means that set card of yours is not going to do anything! Time Tyrant! Finally, I can choose which cards on the field can activate their effects, until the End Phase! But I'll leave it the same! Battle! I attack Mobius the Mega Monarch with Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon! Ultimate Tachyon Spiral!"
Sawatari - LP 4000 → 2300
The attack causes a massive shockwave that sends Sawatari flying and Yu covers Yuzu from the wind.
"Those winds were not normal. Damn it. At least I can survive till next turn." Sawatari grunted as Yu smiles.
"Boi, don't you get it? You're done! Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon effect activates! By tributing two monsters that I control that haven't attack this turn, this monster can attack up to three times this turn! Get rekt son! Ultimate Tachyon Spiral!"
Sawatari - LP 2300 → 0
Yu Wins
Yu looks at the door to see a familiar figure at the door as he signals Yuzu to follow him out.
"Next time, don't mess with other people!" Yu walks up to the figure and smiles. "See ya, Yuto. Have fun doing what you want to do."
Yuzu's bracelet reacts as Yu's Pendant slightly does the same. The two colored blue parts light up. The two hear a voice as is coming to them.
"That voice sounds a lot like Yuya! What's this light coming from my bracelet?"
"Yuzu! Are you alright Yuzu?! Huh? Yu? You're here as well?"
Yuya Sakaki dashes up to them.
"Are you two hurt at all Yuzu?" Yuya looked really worked up at Yuzu's safety as Yu forces a smile. "What is it?"
"Yuya! I'm doing just fine! There's nothing to worry about!"
"Okay, good. What happened to Sawatari?"
"I thoroughly kicked his ass in a duel. Don't know what happened after that, though. Now looks like you're in the right company, so I'll be going Yuzu. Take care. Tell your dad that I'm going to be swinging by the school, tomorrow."
"All right then. See you later I guess." Yu leaves the two to themselves as stretches a bit and walks home to where has to deal with his friends.
*Timeskip
Yu gets up early and after changing, goes to make breakfast for the group as they slowly come out one at a time. He sets the table and lays out omelets and toast for everyone to eat as he looks at the four cards he received from the box. His pendant weakly reacts to the cards in his hand but ignores them for now. He thought to himself about Yuto being there.
'Where was Shun? Are they still not trusting Reiji? That might make the most sense. Eh, the girls are going to take some time to eat so might as well turn on the tele while I wait." Yu looks at the screen to see Reiji on the TV which doesn't surprise him all that much as the girls finish to eat.
*Another time skip later
The four arrived at You Show Duel School with ease. However, the school looked a bit rundown then what Yu remembered, Rei heads on in first and bumps into Shuzo. She was probably the most excited as she's a direct student to Yusho himself.
"Oh sorry about that. Ah, Yu! You're back!" Yu ducks down as he dodges Shuzo's hug and the others look at him.
"Don't mind. This guy is Yuzu's dad and the principal of this place."
"Wait that shoddy-dressed guy is the Principal of this place!? Totally did not see that coming." Rio was more than shocked like the rest. "He's also Yuzu's dad? The same Yuzu that came in and accused me?"
"The very same I guess. The apple couldn't have fallen further from the tree. That's for sure." Avery added.
"So where is Yuzu? Is she not here?" Rei asks to which Shuzo shakes his head.
"No. Yuzu and the rest haven't come yet," Shuzo informs the four. "However, they should be here shortly. I could give you guys a tour while you wait."
"We'll take you up on that offer then! I always wanted to see Yusho's school. I bet it's a magical place filled with smiles and laughter." Rei exclaims as Shuzo starts to give the tour.
Yu and Rio decided not to be part of it as they enter Shuzo's office where the two see a photo of a younger version of Yuya and Yuzu together with Yusho and Shuzo in front of the school.
"So this is the Yuya when he is younger. Gosh, he looks so cute. He looks a lot like Yusho. Wonder how he looks in real life." Rio couldn't help but admire the picture.
"That's right. You were Yusho's student back in the Xyz dimension. This date stamp says less than five-years. Wow, Yusho without a beard. That's kinda hard to look at."
"He had it when we first met him. It's funny. He's the one who taught the children to have fun even during the hardest of times. That's when he came three years ago. Feels like forever."
"Academia is surely going to pay for messing with you guys. That's for sure." The door behinds them opens as Yuya, Yuzu, and Gongenzaka enter the room. "Gongenzaka! It's been forever, my man!"
"Yu, it's only been a couple of days. How is the room?"
"It's been wonderful. Are you the one who gave Yu the apartment? Thank you. Yu here couldn't handle himself outside of a duel." Yu gives her a really? look.
"Oh thank you. I, the man Gongenzaka, will always help my friends. I have yet to introduce myself! I, the man Gongenzaka, have brought shame upon my family's name with my disrespectful attitude!"
"Oh, it's fine. I'm Rio Kamishiro. A pleasure to make your acquaintance."
"My name is Gongenzaka Noboru," Gongenzaka announces proudly as he shakes Rio's hand. "I am the heir to the Gongenzaka Dojo which teaches the Steadfast Dueling style."
"Steadfast Style? What is that?"
"Allow me to explain it to you then. Steadfast Dueling is -"
"It's an Action Duel where the Duelist focuses on remaining completely rooted to their position without chasing for Action Cards. By the way, there are Action Fields where Action cards are spread out. You can only hold one at a time and it has it's own special effect." Yu explains interrupting Gongenzaka. "And I just realized what I have done. I'm very sorry about that Gongenzaka, I didn't realize you were explaining. I am very sorry for my rudeness. It's just Rio doesn't know what Action Fields are. We've come from really far away."
"Yeah, that reminds me when you dueled me. You had no idea about Action Fields or the chant." Yuzu had a puzzled look on her face.
"There's a chant? You guys have everything here."
"Yeah. I can teach it to you. It's something we say at the beginning of every Action Duel. Maybe it'd be better if I wrote it down."
Yu takes out a notepad and a pen and hands it to Yuya who scribbles the chant as the door opens revealing a cyan haired boy that was busy licking a lollipop.
"Ah, Sora. Glad you're here. I want you to meet Yu and Rio. They're new to the school." Yuya introduces the two as the kid name Sora steps up to the two.
"Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Sora Shiunin. I met Avery and Rei outside during their tour. I recently-enrolled into this school here like you, Yu. Except I come here more often. Let's get along from now on!"
"Same."
However, that's when the mood turn weird when loud raised voices could be heard from outside. Yu and Yuzu thought that the voices were familiar as everyone went to the school's entrance only to discover Avery, Rei, and Shuzo outside. Looks like Avery and Rei were with Aya, Tatsuya, and Futoshi and looks like the underlings from the previous night.
"There he is! Yuya Sakaki! He's the one who assaulted us! We're sure for certain!"
"Yo! Rei. You know what's happening?"
"I don't understand what on earth is going on that's for sure," Rei answers as she looks back at the three underlings. "Again, are you sure that it was Yuya Sakaki? Maybe it's someone who looked very similar to him?" Rei tries to calm the group.
"I mean, who else has the same face as Yuya?" Yu gives them a look. "Nevermind."
"Question? Actually two. How are you sure that it was Yuya besides the face? I mean you said that this guy used Xyz summoning at Yuya can't do that." Shuzo explains. "Another is how did you get here?"
"If you require explanation, allow me to fill you in." Everyone looks to see a woman with magenta-colored hair who steps out from a limousine.
"Aren't you… LDS's current chairwoman?"
"Wait so your Himika Akaba? If that's the case then I want to talk to Reiji." Yu gives a stand.
"Reiji will be here shortly, Yu Nishikiyama. Now can we go inside to discuss this matter inside your school?" Yu and Avery are taken back by the fact.
"How do you know our last name? We keep that name hidden from other people."
"We have our ways. Now please?"
*Transition brought to you by Kaiser Ryo Fusion Summoning using 22 monsters.
"Everything these students said about Shingo Sawatari and themselves being attacked by a Duelist resembling Yuya Sakaki is the truth. As such I say tha-"
"If you were planning on making a dramatic entrance, you would've heard the about Yuya not using Xyz summoning."
"That's right! I didn't assault Sawatari!" Yuya exclaims with a strong tone.
"I, the man Gongenzaka, believe my friend Yuya. Isn't that the same for all of you as well?"
"Of course!" Everyone nods including Rio, Rei, and Avery.
"And what about you, Yuzu?"
Yuzu had a hesitant look as she looks at Yuya. "Yuya...: That truly wasn't you back there, was it?"
"Yuzu, I still can't understand what exactly you and Yu saw back then, but I'll say it once more; I wasn't the one who attacked Sawatari."
"I kinda already know the culprit. Don't know how to find him, but don't worry. Yuya over here is innocent." Yu mutters another sentence under his breath. "All my hard work Yuto."
"My, such strong bonds you people share. I guess it's impossible to ask you to hand Yuya without a fuss." Himika has a serious look on her face. "However, we cannot back down here. If word got out that students from LDS, the number one school in the world, were defeated by Duelists from some backwater school, our reputation would receive an immense blow."
"But we keep telling that Yuya didn't-" Yuzu starts but Avery stops her.
"This isn't a matter of Sawatari's assault was this." Avery starts. "This was a matter of pride, isn't it. You're afraid that the symbol of LDS has been dragged through the mud. This is what this is about, isn't it."
"Clever girl. Yes. As such, the only way to clear this disgrace is through a showdown between schools!"
"A… showdown, you say?" Shuzo had an expression of disbelief.
"Shuzo, show some backbone here. I know that I'm interested. What are your prizes in store for us?"
"If your school wins, we will ignore the case concerning Sawatari. However, if we win, this You Show Duel School will become a part of our Leo Duel School!"
Everyone was astonished by this sudden announcement, but the four caught on.
"Sly fox. I told Reiji that I'll help him with Pendulum Summoning. I mean, he already has some cards manufactured of them, am I wrong?" Everyone is shocked as they look at Yu. "However, you want to take on the creator. My god, you are evil. And I love it. I say we accept this."
"I think Yu is enjoying the situation a bit too much," Rei whispers to Avery.
"Yeah, I can tell. This guy is a Duel Monsters fan as well as a movie lover. He always likes seeing how a plot unfolds."
Shuzo shakes Yu furiously. "Are you kidding me? Do you really plan to let this happen? I mean this is my school we're talking about here."
"Shuzo. Trust me when I say this. I've seen Yuzu, Yuya, and Gongenzaka duel first hand. And from personal experience, they can take down quite a bit of LDS students."
"What peaks me curious, if Yu is correct about you wanting more info on Pendulum Summoning… Was the Sawatari thing planned?" Rio asks.
"That's not the case! I just took advantage of the situation. Yu and Reiji's agreement does not involve me! I want everyone to wield Pendulum Summon that can become the pillar supporting Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz. Plus the number of applicants will soar once we obtain it since the number of Pendulum users is so rare."
"Dueling - Isn't a tool for fighting!" Yuya holds his pendulum as he speaks. "But, I don't want You Show Duel School and Pendulum SUmmoning to be taken away by someone else! This Duel School was created by my father to teach everyone that Duels are to be enjoyed and bring smiles to others! There's no way I'll give it to someone like you, who thinks they can control anything through Money and power!"
"Reiji is someone I respect. You, on the other hand, I don't respect. Arrogant people like you need to taken down a peg or two… Or your entire net worth. I think this duel is the right thing."
"Well said, Yuya, Yu! I, the man Gongenzaka, agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments! I'll also fight alongside you to defend You Show!"
"Now, Avery, Rei, Rio. Since you guys aren't necessarily in this school, I should fight with Yu and Yuya." Sora exclaims.
"T-To think you would exclude a man such as I, Gongenzaka! T-t-that's unforgivable!"
"There there Gong-chan. It'll be alright." Avery comforts Gongenzaka.
"Gong-chan!"
"Anyways. You heard everyone, Chairwoman Akaba. Our feelings in this matter are one. This You Show Duel School-"
[We won't hand it over!]
Himika let's out a little laugh before she spoke. "Well then, shall we begin the battle?"
Following Himika's words, everyone moved to the Real Solid Vision arena, where Himika introduced Hokuto, Masumi, and Yaiba. Yuya was up first against Hokuto who turned out to be a Xyz user. Due to the action field working with Hokuto's favor, Yuya almost lost, but he prevailed at the end when Levels were the important factor instead of Ranks.
After cheering for Yuya's victory, Yuzu went up next against the Fusion user Masumi. Sora was especially focused on the duel as Rei thought that Sora was a Fusion user as well, to Yuya's confirmation. Yuzu had a strong start but lost while trying to get an Action Card that could've saved her.
Following her defeat, Yuya was the first one who rushed to her side. In an unsurprising turn of events, Yuzu buried her face in Yuya's chest as she tearfully apologized for failing You Show.
"You two are giving us quite the show here," Rei commented with a smile after this sweet scene went on for a few seconds.
"Ah, young love… It's always nice to see it." Yu high fives Rei.
Yuzu pushed Yuya away in embarrassment and sending him tumbling down. With apologies to Yuya, Yu couldn't help but chuckle. It was obvious that Yuzu had a crush on Yuya that he felt obligated to tease her.
The next battle was climatic as LDS and You Show both had one win. Sora was supposed to go up, but he stepped out at the last minute and Gongenzaka took the duel against the Synchro user, Yaiba. Yaiba's skills impressed Yu when it comes to Synchro summoning. He used multiple Synchro Summons at a time to try to get Gongenzaka at a disadvantage. Gongenzaka, however, tank all the hits and pushed back with his Superheavy Samurai monsters which the duel resulted in a draw.
"In the end, the results of the battle were one win, one loss, and one draw, huh. The end result of the battle between the two schools was a draw, which means you can't have You Show. As such, could you kindly take your leave?" Shuzo addresses Himika who had a disdainful look.
"You think I'll allow it to end like this? I told you before that this match with LDS's reputation on the line! As such, there can be no draw!"
"But, the match ended in a draw, you know…"
"Then a tiebreaker is in order." The two look at Rio. "The Duelist from each school who had a win will Duel each other. That way we can settle this. Which means, Yuya versus Masumi."
"Wait."
Everyone looks at the hooded figure to reveal Reiji Akaba standing there.
"There you are Reiji. What were you doing? Well I mean besides President business and all that."
"Sorry, for the late entrance, Yu. Had some last minute work that I need to do. Mother, I would appreciate it if you let me handle things from here on."
"Reiji. Very well, do as you wish."
"It appears we're currently at an impasse regarding the battle between schools. As such, in order to honor the resolve you demonstrated, I'm inclined to back down here, ignore the incident with Shingo Sawatari and leave your school alone."
"That's awfully generous of you, Reiji Akaba," Shuzo commented hesitantly.
"Of course, I don't intend to do all that without some sort of compensation." Reiji points at Yu. "Yu Nishikiyama, won't you have a Duel with me? If you do so, I promise that LDS will retreat in this occasion without any further fuss."
"Hell yeah, I would. What are we waiting for then? Let's get this show on the road."
Reiji walks up to the arena as Yuya spoke to Yu in front of the others.
"Are you sure about this, Yu? There's really no need to go that far for You Show, you're barely a student and all."
Yu gives a really? look as he holds out both hands to Yuya's confusion and pulled Yuya's googles back and let them slam on his face hard.
"Ow! What was that for!?"
"Um being an idiot. Thinking I would back down when my friends are counting on me. I made a vow with my friends and the new ones here that I would help this school. And by the way, I am a student here. I just ditch a lot."
"Well said, bro. But seriously Yuya, you ok?" Avery asks as Yuzu examines the red marks on Yuya's face.
"He'll be fine. He's handled worse."
"Yeah, like your paper fan," Yuya mutters under his breath which Yuzu did hear and hated it as she chased the dude/
"We'll cheer for you too!" Aya chimed in with Futoshi and Tatsuya. "Win this for everyone in You Show and avenge Yuzu and Gongenzaka."
"We've seen you Duel first hand, so you better not hold back on us. Otherwise, remember when we first met." Rio had a scary smile on her face.
"Don't worry. You won't need to freeze me. Heh heh heh." Yu walks away as he drops a card to which Rei picks up.
"Yu! You dropped this!" Yu looks back to see it was one of the new cards and grabs it. "Never seen you using this before."
"It's new. Don't worry about it." Yu had an idea as looks through his new cards and a lightbulb popped out above his head. "I could make this work."
Yu inserts the cards into his deck and walks across from Reiji.
"Any preference on the Action Field?"
"Feel free to choose what you like."
"You heard it, Shuzo. Choose anything. I don't know a lot."
"If that's the case, let's try this one then! Action Field, on! Field Spell, Different Dimension City! Avery said you liked movies, so this should be the perfect battlefield."
Himika laughs to everyone's dismay. "Are you people seriously trying to win here? If you had done your research, you'd know Different Dimension City is Reiji's favorite Action Field. He's never lost an Action Duel in that field."
"Ehhhhhh!? Not again!"
"Face time to meet your old friend palm… Shuzo! Don't worry too much about it! I dueled a couple of times in this arena. Guess time for the chant!"
"Duelists locked in battle!" Yuya and Yuzu start.
"Kicking the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters!" Avery, Rio, and Rei read off Yuya's notes.
"They storm through this field!" Gongenzaka delivered the next line.
"Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling!" Sora resumed the chant.
Aya, Tatsuya, and Futoshi then spoke in unison. "Action-"
(Play Yousei Teikoku - Kuusou Mesorogiwi for this duel. Yep, the opening of Mirai Nikki. Anime was good but the opening is killer AMV music.)
"Duel!"
Yu - LP 4000
Reiji - LP 4000
"Feel free to go first. As well as those Pendulum Cards that you got." Yu exclaims with a smile.
"So you know that I made Pendulum cards for myself? Well, you did meet Riku and Akira. Fine time to show you my Pendulum Summon!" Reiji exclaims as the whole group looks at him before he picks up an Action Card. " I activate the Action Magic: Free Draw! With this, I can draw a card. Thanks to your guidance, I now mastered Pendulum Summoning with affecting Scales! With the Scale 1 D/D Savant Copernicus and the Scale 6 D/D Cerebus, I set the Pendulum Scale! With this, Level 2 through 5 monsters can be summoned at the same time! Grand power that shakes the very soul! Arise within me and give birth to a new power that rends the darkness! Pendulum Summon! Come forth, God with irregular black wings! D/D Berfomet! (Lv 4, 1400 Atk) And the tuner monster, D/D Ghost! (Lv 2, 600 Atk)."
"Wait, So Reiji Akaba can Pendulum and Synchro Summon. How peculiar." Rei adds.
"Furthermore, from my hand, I normal summon D/D Necro Slime. (Lv 1, 300 Atk) I tune the Level 4 D/D Berfomet and the Level 1 D/D Necro Slime to the Level 2 D/D Ghost! Howl that tears through the night! With the swiftness of a gale, give birth to a new king! Synchro Summon! Be born! Level 7! D/D/D Gust King Alexander! (Lv 7, 2500 Atk) When D/D Ghost is sent to the graveyard, I can activate its effect. I choose D/D Berfomet in the graveyard and send from my deck to the graveyard a card with the same name. Furthermore, I activate D/D Necro Slime's effect in the graveyard! By using this card and D/D Ghost as materials, I can banish them from the graveyard to Fusion Summon a D/D/D Fusion Monster!"
"Reiji can Fusion Summon as well!?" Sora is really getting into this duel.
"Just as expected from him if he's that famous. I bet that he can use Xyz summoning after this." Rio adds.
"Arcan swirl that takes in all forms! Engulf the spectre wriggling in the darkness and give birth to a new king! Fusion Summon! Be born! Level 6! D/D/D Flame King Genghis! (Lv 6, 2000 Atk) D/D/D Gust King Alexander's effect activates! When a D/D monster is Summoned to my field, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower D/D monster from my graveyard! Revive! D/D Berfomet! Furthermore, D/D/D Flame King Genghis' effect. I Special Summon another D/D Berfomet from my graveyard!"
"He's got two Level 4's out on the field. That means he can Xyz Summon." Yuya comments on Reiji's display.
"Amazing. I'm not sure if Yu can handle this." Yuzu adds.
"Don't worry. Yu can do the same if he wants to. He'll probably do it just to keep the playing field even." Avery replies to Yuzu.
"I Overlay my two Level 4 D/D Berfomets! In order to subjugate all that resides in this world, now, descend onto the peak of the world! Xyz Summon! Be born! Rank 4! Wave King Caesar! (Rank 4, 2400 Atk) I set a card facedown and end my turn. Now let's see how you can try and destroy this iron-clad wall!"
"Well, Reiji while you were doing all of your summonings I activated Millenium Eye's special effect from my Extra Deck! I can place it into my Pendulum Zone!"
"He's bringing monsters from his Extra Deck into his Pendulum Zones? So there are Extra Deck monsters that are also Pendulum?" Gongenzaka commented.
"Yeah, that's right. I have tricks of my own! Now my turn! Draw! I activate Millenium Ring from my extra deck! I can place it in my Pendulum Zone! Now with the Scale 1 Millenium Ring and the Scale 9 Millenium Eye, I set the Pendulum Scale! With this, I summon monsters Levels 2 through 9 at the same time! But first! I activate Pot of Greed! It lets me draw two cards from my deck! Guided in this world, break the dimensional shift and create a new future! Pendulum Summon! Come forth my monsters! Psychic Prodigy (Lv 4, 800 Atk), Gagaga Magician (Lv 4, 1500 Atk), BunBun Seven (Lv 7, 700 Atk), and the phantom dragon with dichromatic eyes Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon (Lv 7, 2500 Atk)!"
"Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon!" Yuya takes out Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and looks at Yu's monster. "They're so similar. What's going on?"
"Time for some fun! I activate Millenium Ring's Effect! I use Junk Synchron and Golden Dreamlight Dragon to Fusion Summon! Warrior that uses Junk to push through! The Holy dragon of light! Become one to call forth the ravenous dragon with fangs dripping with venom! Fusion Summon! Appear now, Level 7! Starve Venemy Dragon! (Lv 7, 2500 Atk) Next, I activate Gagaga Magician's effect! I can change it between 1 to 8! I'll change it to Level 7! I overlay Gagaga Magician and BunBun Seven! Dragon born from pitch-black darkness and obscured by the stars' radiance! Become the avatar of wrath and let your furious cry resonate across the cosmos! Xyz Summon! Appear now, Rank 7! Dark Anthelion Dragon! (Rank 7, 3000 Atk)"
"A Pendulum Fusion and Pendulum Xyz monsters? How is he this strong?." Masumi and Hokuto commented. The two were stunned at the fact.
"Battle! Psychic Prodigy's effect! It can attack you directly!"
Reiji - LP 4000 → 3200
"Psychic Prodigy is a tuner monster, so why isn't he Synchro Summoning?" Rio commented.
"Because Psychic Prodigy can special summon a Level 4 or lower monster when it deals battle damage. Then he can Synchro Summon." Everyone looks at Avery.
"I think we're all outclassed here," Rei said with a chuckle. "This guy is just full of surprises."
"But that's what makes him interesting. He's slightly sarcastic, but he's nice to everyone he meets. That's one of his most admirable traits." Rio said to Rei.
"But he's amazing. He's bringing out Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Monsters to counter Reiji Akaba's monsters!" Tatsuya cheered.
"Burn on, Yukiho! Are you seeing this, LDS!? This the true power of our school! Yu Nishikiyama!" Shuzo yells through the speakers.
"Yuzu! Your dad is getting a bit loud for our taste." Sora covers his ears.
"Dad is getting excited again…" Yuzu sighed.
"I activate Psychic Prodigy's effect! When this card deals battle damage, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower monster from my deck! Come out Tuning Supporter! (Lv 1, 300 Def) Next Psychic Prodigy's effect activates! I can change its Level between 1 to 12! I'll change it to Level 5! Next Tuning Supporter can become a Level 2 when Synchro Summoning! I tune the Level 2 Tuning Supporter to the Level 5 Psychic Prodigy! Pure white dragon with unblemished wings! Descend upon the battlefield with the speed of light and slash apart every enemy in your path! Synchro Summon! Appear now, Level 7! Clearwing Fast Dragon! (Lv 7, 2500 Atk) Now let's start off! I activate Starve Venemy Dragon's effect while choosing Alexander. Your monster loses 500 Attack points, you take 500 points of damage, and the targeted monster has its effects negated! Gluttony Spore!" (2500 → 2000 Atk)
Reiji - 3200 → 2700
"Second! I activate Clearwing Fast Dragon's effect! During either player's turn, I can target a monster you control and until the End Phase, its effects are negated and its attack points drop to zero! I'll choose Wave King Caesar! Vanishing mirror!" (2400 → 0)
"And finally, I activate, Dark Anthelion Dragon's effect! By using one Overlay Unit, I can half one of your monster's attack while this monster gain the attack until the End Phase and I gain Life Points in the same amount. Go! Absorb Eclipse! (3000 → 4000) (2000 → 1000)"
Yu - LP 4000 → 5000
"Battle! I'll have Dark Anthelion Dragon attack, D/D/D Wave King Caesar! Dawn of the Dark!"
"With this attack, Yu will win," Gongenzaka exclaimed as Reiji jumps around for an Action Card and easily finds one and picks it up.
"Hold on! I activate the Action Magic: Damage Vanish! When my monster battles and is destroyed, I can negate the battle damage!" Reiji straightens his glasses. "You didn't think this was going to be easy now, did you?"
"No. I didn't think that would be the case! Then I attack D/D/D Flame King Genghis with Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon! Phantom Spiral Flame!"
Reiji - LP 2700 → 1200
"Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon effect activates when I deal battle damage. You take damage equal to the attack of my monsters in my Pendulum Zones but that's only 200. Oh well. Atomic Force!"
Reiji - 1200 → 1000
"Next Clearwing Fast Dragon! Attack D/D/D Gust King Alexander! Velocity Edge!"
Reiji - 1000 → 500
"Well, guess it's time to wrap this up. Starve Venemy Dragon! Attack Reiji Akaba directly! Savage Predation!"
"Yu won!" The three children yelled in excitement.
"Wait, why hasn't Reiji pulled his set card?" Rio said.
"I activate the Trap Card: D/D/D Contract Change… When your monster attack, I can banish the highest attack D/D/D monster and then make the battle damage 0. Then I can add, 1 Level 4 or lower D/D Pendulum Monster from my deck to my hand." Reiji explains as he draws a card. He then dashes to another Action Card. "I activate another Action Magic: Battle Refresh. At the end of the Battle Phase, all cards on my field go back in time before the Battle Phase started. My Life Points also return to the way it was before the Battle Phase started half of what it was. My D/D/D monsters! Return!"
Reiji - 500 → 2000
"Dang it! I barely did 2000 damage. I set two cards facedown. My turn is over and Dark Anthelion Dragon's attack becomes normal. (4000 → 3000)" Yu grunts as he looks around. "D/D. Different Dimension. This really is your favorite field. Your deck is filled with it. Tell me. What does the extra D mean?"
"D/D/D means Different Dimension Demon. Using these monsters, I bring forth the kings that rule over the dimensions. That of Synchro, Fusion, and Xyz. Now my turn! Draw! I activate the continuous magic card: Dark Contract of the Swamp King. During my Main Phase, I can Fusion Summon 1 Fiend-Type Fusion Monster using monsters from my hand or field. However, every Standby Phase, I must take 1000 points of Damage. I fuse D/D/D Wave King Caesar and D/D/D Flame King Genghis! Crush the twilight of gods, and with the force of your surging wave open up a new world! Fusion Summon! Come before me, autocratic god of limits! D/D/D Wave Destruction King - Kaiser Ragnarok! (Lv 10, 3200 Atk)"
"Holy cow. That monster has a crap ton of attack. I feel like the next thing, I'm not going to like."
"You're right. I summon D/D Lamia (Lv 1, 1900 Atk). I tune the Level 7 D/D/D Gust King to the Level 1 Tuner, D/D Lamia! Climb over the corpses of heroes, carrying your bloodstained blade! Synchro Summon! Be born! Level 8! D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried! (Lv 8, 2800 Atk) Battle! I attack Clearwing Fast Dragon with D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried."
"I activate the Trap Card: Scrap Iron Scarecrow! With this effect, I can negate your attack and then set this card facedown." Yu explains.
"So that's one of you're trap cards. Why didn't you use Clearwing Fast Dragon's effect? You could've destroyed my monster and won." Reiji wondered.
"You still have Kaiser Ragnarok and you might be plotting something else. Delaying the duel a little longer is fine and all."
"I see. I end my turn then."
"My turn. Draw! Well, this kinda sucks as my only card. I activate the magic card: Treasure Cards from the Heavens. Both players draw until we each have six cards in our hands. Next, I activate the magic card: Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force. With this, I rank up Dark Anthelion Dragon, two ranks higher. Power filling the galaxy… When the ruler has exhausted his body and spirit, his soul curses the world! Rank Up Xyz Change! Appear! Number 95! Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon! (Rank 9, 4000 Atk) Secondly, I summon Turbo Synchron from my hand! I tune the Level 7 Clearwing Fast Dragon with the Level 1 Turbo Synchron! Clustering wishes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Take Flight, Stardust Dragon! (Lv 8, 2500 Atk) Finally, I activate Millenium Ring's effect and Fuse Starve Venemy Dragon with Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon! The swinging pendulum creates a mighty gust! Merge together, and blow them away! Fusion Summon! Level 7! Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon! Finally! Guided in this world, break the dimensional shift and create a new future! Pendulum Summon! Appear from my extra deck! Starve Venemy Dragon and Psychic Prodigy!"
"What's is he doing? Psychic Prodigy is useless right now. Did he make a misplay?" Avery comments as she looks at Yu who had a smile.
"Then why would he be smiling. I think that he has a strategy." Gongenzaka comments.
"Your brother is full of surprises after all. I mean, he's been everywhere." Rei adds to which the girls chuckle.
"Wait you two are siblings?" Yuya questions as Avery nods. "I don't really see it."
"I get that a lot."
"Psychic Prodigy is a Level 4 Pendulum Tuner. You may have Stardust Dragon, but that monster is useless because you have no room for another monster to Synchro Summon a Synchro Tuner. What's your game?" Reiji comments as he examines the field.
"Time for the finale! I activate Millenium Eye's Pendulum Effect! Once per turn, I can make a Pendulum Tuner monster be treated as a Synchro Tuner! Next, I activate Psychic Prodigy's effect! I change it to a Level 2!" Yu activates the button as energy enters through him and he drops down. "Clear Mind! I tune the Level 8 Stardust Dragon to the now Level 2 Psychic Prodigy!"
"So that's his idea. Where on earth is he getting his cards?" Rio comments.
"Clustering crystal dreams, open the door to a new evolution! Become the path its light shines upon! Accel Synchro! Be born, Shooting Star Dragon! (Lv 10, 3300 Atk) I activate Shooting Star Dragon's effect! I can look at the top five cards in my deck and then my monster can attack that many times!" Yu draws five cards revealing two tuners. "Now, Shooting Star Dragon can attack twice this turn! Next, I activate Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon's effect! By using one Overlay Unit, this monster can attack twice! I activate Starve Venemy Dragon's effect and target D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried! Gluttony Spore!" (2800 → 2300) Battle! I attack D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried with Starve Venemy Dragon! Savage Predation!"
Reiji - LP 2000 → 1500
"D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried effect activates when he's in the graveyard. I gain 1000 Life Points for every Dark Contract I control and I activated the Trap Card: D/D/D Contract Change! By banishing the highest Attacking monster in my graveyard, I can negate the damage!"
Reiji - 1500 → 2500
"Fine! I attack D/D/D Wave King Caesar - Kaiser Ragnarok with Shooting Star Dragon! Stardust Mirage!"
"D/D/D Kaiser Ragnarok's effect activates! When my monster is targeted for battle, I can return a card I control to my hand and then target one of your monsters, and I can equip that target to this monster and this card gains Attack equal to the total Attack of the equipped monster by this effect. I'll be taking Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon!" (3200 Atk → 7200) The battle continues!"
"Oh darn it! I activate the Trap: Scrap-Iron Scarecrow, I can negate a battle and set this card facedown. I can't do anything else. I set two cards and end my turn!" Yu has a nervous sweat as he looks at Reiji.
"Draw! Thank you for the cards, Yu. I'll put them to good use now. Pendulum Summon! Appear from my hand! D/D Cerberus and D/D Brownie! I tribute these two to Advance Summon D/D/D Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok! (Lv 8, 3000 Def) I activate it's special effect, when this card is Normal or Special Summoned, I can target 1 D/D/D monster in my graveyard and Special Summon it! Come on out, D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried. I Overlay D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried with D/D/D Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok! When two suns rise, the horizon of a new world shall open up! Xyz Summon! Appear and come forth, Rank 8! D/D/D Twin Dawn King Kali Yuga! (Rank 8, 3500 Atk) I activate it's effect and cannot be negated. I negate the effects of all other face-up cards currently on the field and the effects of all cards activated this turn."
"So, I can't do anything? Not even Action cards. Heh. This card is basically Tachyon Dragon. How ironic." Yu sighs as he drops his arm down.
"Correct. Battle! D/D/D Kaiser Ragnarok attacks Starve Venemy Dragon! The End of Judgement!"
Yu - LP 4000 → 0
Reiji wins!
Yu is knocked back by the attack as he slams onto the wall and falls onto the floor. The door gets up and everyone dashes to help him up. Yu looks at Reiji who has his arms folded.
"I win. However, since you agreed to this duel, Yu. We will call off our investigation into the Shingo Sawatari matter. We shall show no trouble to You Show about the matter." Reiji turns to leave as Yu calls to him.
"Reiji." Reiji looks at Yu who stands up. "That was a good match."
Reiji smirks at Yu's comment. "I have to agree. It was. Not many can make me work so hard just to win. I was actually trying."
"Hmph. I knew Reiji couldn't lose to some third-rate duelist from a trashy duel school. We're leaving." Himika leaves with the LDS students.
"Yu. Are you alright? That was quite the hit that you took." A crack could be heard from Yu's shoulder.
"I'll be fine. Just gotta walk this off. Ugh, crap baskets." Yu drops to a knee as Rei and Avery help him up. "I think I need to take a couple days off on the lessons. Should be fine, Shuzo?"
"Yeah. Take all the time you need. You did the best that you can. Thank you for everything you've done." Shuzo bows in gratitude which makes Yu embarrassed.
"Please stand up. I'm no better of a person than you. Shuzo, you're making me feel weird. *crack! Fudge!"
"Take it, easy mister. We are not letting you out of our sights. Is that understood?" Rei asks with a small smile.
"Yes, ma'am!"
"What did you think of Yuya Sakaki and Yu Nishikiyama, mother?" Reiji asks Himika as the two sit quietly back inside the limousine.
"Yuya defeated Hokuto so I suppose his skills are passable at least. Yu Nishikiyama on the other hand. I suppose his skills are decent. He still lost to you, Reiji which is not surprising."
"Actually, I could've lost. It's just that Yu made the wrong decision. We were going all out, mother. I think it could've gone either way. For now, those two I will be definitely using during our fight with Academia. The group that Yu was with. Avery, his younger sister and Rio and Rei. I haven't seen them duel, but I know that they have potential. Yuzu Hiiragi and Noboru Gongenzaka have also caught my eye, but the final decision will be during the championship."
"We'll just wait and see."
Yay... Protagonist loses to a duelist just to make sure that he is too two overpowered in this series. Yu last name has been revealed which honestly was not asked but it has been received. Nishikiyama. I just chose a number on a randomizer and came to this. Don't go into it. Yu now has all the manga dragons, Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon, Dark Anthelion Dragon, Clearwing Fast Dragon, and Starve Venemy Dragon. Hope you guys like that extra touch. Also, I know Reiji had Pendulum cards too advanced for this part of the series but I thought, if Akira and Riku have amazing Pendulum cards, then it would make no sense that Reiji wouldn't have awesome Pendulum cards. Just saying. Anyways. See you guys next week. This is NexusMC signing off... Stay classy!
