What had just happened was burned into Avery's mind. And this isn't the first time something like this has happened. The first time would be during the Xyz Dimension while he was dueling with Ryouga and Yuto against Academia students. The second time would be during her time with Yusho when Yu and Rei were at Academia. The third time was at the Standard Dimension during the Junior Youth League. Then the last two times were at Synchro where Yu had loud outbursts of rage and began dueling violently.

During these times, her bracelet would react very violently in response to these "outbursts" that Yu had and for some reason, it would make her exhausted. She would hear very faint and quiet words while seeing very blurry visions. Though she couldn't tell what exactly they were, it would make her worried as if something was wrong with Yu. When Yu got out of his state the last time, the bracelet stop reacting but that moment was when the reactions were at their strongest and most painful for her.

As much as she wanted to focus on that, she had to duel against Sergey who was her dueling partner during the first round of the Friendship Games against Rei and Rio and he won without her getting even a single turn to do anything. She felt a huge amount of pressure on her as she looked at her deck. She picks it up and goes through all the cards with a smile before putting them all in her duel disk and equips it to her arm.

The door opens with a few guards entering and examining the room presumably looking for Yu before escorting Avery to the cockpit where she gets dressed in her red and green D-Wheel tracksuit. She puts on her mixed color helmet before getting on her D-Wheel and attaches her Duel Disk to it before starting the engine.

Chapter 20: No Turning Back

"Oi. That's enough sleeping. Your sister is on." Serena comments poking Yu's cheek while his head was resting on her lap. She pokes him a few more times hearing muttering from the guy. "Seriously. You're quite hopeless. How you managed to live this long is beyond me."

"... Eh." Yu slowly opens his eyes and looks around as he leans on one hand on something soft while rubbing his eye still a bit drowsy. He ends up clenching his hand a bit before hearing a little mutter as he looks down to see his hand on someone's thigh before looking up to see Serena. Suddenly he jumps a bit back before falling off the bed. "Ow…"

"The heck are you doing, weirdo! Why are you screaming all of a sudden?!" Serena looks away a bit rather flushed with Yu fumbling.

"What do you mean why am I flustered?! Any guy would be like that if they found themselves on a lap pillow! That is a weeb's dream in life!" Yu exclaims in a loud voice.

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? A weeb's dream?" Serena comments before hearing voices outside and runs over and pushes Yu down behind the bed while over him as the door opens revealing two guards.

"What's with the large racket? Who are you talking to?" One of the guards asks Serena who looks at the guards while letting out a nervous sweat.

"It's nothing. I just thought I saw someone in the vents." Serena lies to the best of her ability with the guards giving her a weird look before one of them takes out a small device.

"Attention all units. There might be a chance that Yu is in the ventilation system. Seal off all points. Blueprints of the vicinity will be sent soon." The second guard says before walking away as the guards lock the door. It wasn't until a few minutes later that Serena finally lets out a sigh of relief before taking her hand off Yu who was blushing and covering his face.

"What's wrong? You got a fever?" Serena puts her hand on Yu's forehead. "Jeez, you're burning up. Stay here real quick."

"I-It's nothing. Just get off me please." Yu says as Serena stands up giving him enough room to let out a sigh before standing up. "Let's just watch the duel."

"The second match of the second round is about to begin everyone! We have the sister to the previous winner: Avery!" Melissa announces as Avery rides out on her D-Wheel while going to the starting line and looking around.

Yu… I hope you're alright. I'll make sure that everything that you taught me is going to win us this.' Avery thinks to herself as she looks at her deck.

"And our other duelist, the infamous destroyer of his foes, Sergey!" Sergey drives his massive D-Wheel with a stern expression on his face before making it to the starting line. He looks at Avery, examining her before looking forward.

"Alright, everyone! You know the drill! Action Field, On! Crossover Accel!"

"Duel Mode: On! Autopilot: Standby!"

"3… 2… 1… Riding Duel! Acceleration!"

"Duel!"

Avery - LP 4000

Sergey - LP 4000

"Who will be the first one to make it out of the gate and take the first turn? Will it be Avery? Or Sergey!?" Melissa exclaims as Avery goes through the gate first. "And it looks like Avery is first! She will be taking the first move!"

"My turn! I activate the magic card: Neos Fusion! With this, I can Fusion Summon a Neos Fusion Monster using exactly two monsters from either my hand, deck, or field ignoring its Summoning conditions! I'll send Elemental Hero Neos and Neo Spacian Aqua Dolphin!" Avery says before taking the cards out of her deck and placing it into the graveyard before chanting. Otherworldly warrior of cosmic space! Otherworldy warrior of the torrential oceans! Become one and protect the future! Fusion Summon! Appear, Elemental Hero Brave Neos! (Level 7, 3000 Atk)"

A portal opens up with a buffer version of Neos enters through it before crossing his hands giving off a feeling of power as everyone in the crowd looks excited.

"Wasting no time at all, Avery pulls off a magnificent Fusion Summon. It's a stronger version of her ace monster it seems." Melissa announces.

"I set one card facedown and end my turn." Avery looks over at Sergey who looks rather interested as he speeds up.

"How dull! If there is a Field Spell active on the field, I can Special Summon Earthbound Prisoner: Stone Sweeper from my hand! (Lv 5, 1600 Atk) Next, I summon the Tuner monster, Earthbound Prisoner: Line Walker (Lv 3, 800 Atk)!" Two creatures in black appear on his field giving off an ominous feeling. "Additionally from my hand, I activate the Magic Card: Resonance - Synchro Fusion! With this cards effect, I will now perform a Synchro and Fusion Summon using the two monsters I control!"

"What?! Both methods at the same time?!" Avery exclaims looking at the monsters.

"I Tune my Level 5 Stone Sweeper with my Level 3 Line Walker! Revive from the depths of the earth. Gigantic beast with wings of punishment! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 8! Earthbound Servant: Geo Griffin! (Lv 8, 2500 Atk)" A gigantic griffin with metallic parts flies around before Sergey chuckles. "Now I fuse Stone Sweeper and Line Walker! Prisoner that crawls across the earth. Become one with the prisoner that walks the path of execution. And become a gigantic beast that delivers out punishment! Fusion Summon! Level 8! Earthbound Servant: Geo Kraken! (Lv 8, 2800 Atk)"

"Wow! That's amazing! He was able to perform two summoning methods at once!" Melissa exclaims looking at the Kraken who had appeared.

"I activate the effect of Line Walker in my Graveyard! By banishing this card from my Graveyard, I can make Elemental Hero Brave Neos treated as if it was Special Summoned this turn!" Sergey announces pointing at her.

"Treated as it was Special Summoned again? What's the point of that?" Avery questions.

"I activate Geo Kraken's monster effect! I can destroy all of my opponent's monsters that were Special Summoned on my turn!" Sergey announces with his serious expression. "And it will then deal 800 damage per monster destroyed."

"I see. He made Avery's monster treated as though it was Summoned this turn to destroy it with Geo Kraken's effect!" Melissa said examining the duel.

Geo Kraken unleashes black sludge to engulf Avery and Brave Neos and after a bit of time, both Avery and Brave Neos escape with ease.

"Brave Neos wasn't destroyed!" Melissa exclaims with excitement.

"I activate Neos Fusion's effect. When a Fusion Monster would be destroyed, I can banish this card and negate the destruction!" Avery explains with a smile as Sergey gets slightly irritated.

"I set one card facedown. I end my turn." Sergey grunts as Avery draws her card.

"My turn! I summon Elemental Hero: Avian! (Lv 3, 1000 Atk) Then I activate the magic card: Mask Change! I send Avian to the graveyard! Fusion Summon! Appear, Masked Hero: Blast! (Lv 6, 2200 Atk) I activate his effect! I pay 500 Life Points and return your set card back to your hand!" A green masked hero appears from on top of the buildings before slamming onto the road and shoots a blast knocking the card back to Sergey's hand.

Avery - LP 4000 → 3500

"Blast's second effect! When Special Summoned, I can half one of your monster's attack. I choose Geo Kraken! (2800 → 1400 Atk) Battle! Brave Neos attacks Geo Griffin! Fist of Cosmos!" Brave Neos runs over to Geo Griffin and punches it into the ground.

Sergey - LP 4000 → 3500

"Geo Griffin's monster effect! When an Earthbound Prisoner monster is destroyed, I can target and destroy one of your monsters! I choose Masked Hero: Blast!" A shadow version of Geo Griffin engulfs Masked Hero: Blast.

"Tsk. Well, Brave Neos' monster effect! When it destroys a monster by battle, I can add a card that specifically adds Elemental Hero Neos in its name! I'll add Neos Fusion from my deck to my hand!" Avery says before looking at her hand. "I set one card facedown and end my turn and Kraken's attack return to normal (1400 → 2800 Atk)!"

"My turn! I activate the magic card: Earthbound Salvation from my hand! I can add one "Earthbound" monster and Spell Card to my hand. And because a Field Spell is active, I can Special Summon Stone Sweeper from my hand! Additionally, I Summon the Tuner Monster Earthbound Prisoner: Grounds Keeper from my hand! (Lv 1, 300 Atk)"

"He going to Fuse and Synchro Summon again," Avery comments getting ready to get an Action Card.

"I activate the magic card: Resonance - Synchro Fusion! I tune the Level 5 Stone Sweeper and the Level 1 Grounds Keeper! Spirit bound to the earth, Shake all of creation with your mystic power! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 6! Earthbound Servant Geo Gremlin (Lv 6, 2000 Atk)! Next, I fuse Stone Sweeper and Grounds Keeper! He who is bound by stone, Become one with he who is bound by the earth and grasp the land. Fusion Summon! Come forth! Level 6! Earthbound Servant Geo Gremlina! (Lv 6, 2000 Atk)"

Two black golems appeared next to Sergey while looking at Avery next to Geo Kraken.

"You are rather dull. No beauty whatsoever! I activate Geo Gremlin's monster effect! I target one monster you control and you choose whether to destroy that monster or not. If it is destroyed, I skip the Battle Phase of this turn. If not, I gain Life Points equal to its attack!"

"Brave Neos is staying on the field! None of your monsters have monsters with enough attack to destroy my monster by battle!" Avery responds.

Sergey - LP 3500 → 5000

"You made a mistake. I activate the magic card: Earthbound Suicidal Explosion! I target one monster on both of our fields and destroy them! I target Geo Gremlina and Brave Neos. At this point, you can't activate cards in response to this effect!" Geo Gremlina jumps onto Brave Neos before exploding into a massive explosion.

"Brave Neos!" Avery exclaims before picking up an Action Magic before smiling. 'Well, at least I can live through the battle phase with these two trap cards and Action Magic.'

"Geo Gremlina's monster effect. When a monster you control is destroyed, I can destroy monsters that I control and deal you damage equal to the combined attack rating. I choose Geo Kraken and Geo Gremlina with a combined attack total rating of 4800! Get your unsightly body away from me!"

"W-Wait what?!" Avery questions looking at the two monsters floating right above her before exploding causing her D-Wheel to slow down to a halt but gets in the way of Sergey's D-Wheel and crashes into a building.

Avery - LP 3500 → 0

"W-What…" Yu stares at the screen with a silent expression. He slowly walks to the screen to see the helicopter flying over the fiery crash. He tried to say something but words failed him as he drops to his knees with Serena just staring at the screen before looking at Yu. He looks down in despair before the black aura starts to surround him as he slams his fist onto the ground.

"Oi! Yu! Calm down!" Serena bracelet starts shining in reaction to Yu's aura and she feels drained. "D-Damn it."

"Authorities are on the scene to find no deaths from this accident with 11 injured. However, the duelist that fell off, Avery Nishkiyama's body is found and are transferring her to a nearby hospital." The words cause Yu's aura level to drop slightly as he looks up to see medical people are seen carrying Avery's body onto a hospital truck.

"Oh thank god… I thought she was gone." Yu barely lets out before sitting back to normal. His aura level was still there as the light from Serena's bracelet slowly dies down.

"Y-Yeah…" Serena said before hearing footsteps from outside as she pushes Yu away. "Sorry Yu about you know."

"It's… It's fine. That bastard Sergey. He's going to pay for what he's done." Yu looks up at the monitor before glaring at Sergey who didn't show any remorse for his actions which pissed Yu off. Yu grips his fist before standing up. "I'll make sure that you get what you deserve Sergey."

Wassup my homies! This is NexusMHX here with another chapter of the Human! You know. I don't actually know what happened here. I actually tried something new which was doing a mock duel with one of my friends with the decks of the two people in the fanfiction which was actually quite interesting. Though it was a one-turn kill so honestly, I had no idea and the duel was so short that I had to add filler to make it some kind but still did the method of the win. Not sure if I'm going to do that again. In any case, I hope you guys enjoyed this episode of The Human! If you enjoyed, make sure to follow/favorite/comment for new content. This is NexusMHX signing off! Stay Classy!
