-Yu-Gi-Oh- (Remake)
"Duel!" They both yelled
Hiraki vs Reiji LP: 4000
"Since you're the returning champion, I'll let you go first." Hiraki said as he crossed his arms. 'To be able to pendulum summon and then use xyz just like that... I better not let me guard down around him!'
"If you insist. My Turn! Draw!" Reiji then proceed to draw a card, one which apparently caught his attention. "I activate the spell card known as Forbidden dark contract with the swamp king. I have to take 2000 damage during my standby phase, but this allows me to fusion summon using monsters from my hand." Reiji stated. He then took two cards out of his hand and sent them to the graveyard.
"Here it comes, his fusion summoning. And I think I have a pretty good idea of what it might be." Hiraki thought aloud. Even though he did it once before, it was still amusing to fusion summon so flawlessly.
"Proud knight, be absorbed into the crucible of disaster! Be reborn into a true king!" Reiji chanted, his two copies of D/D Necro Slime were absorbed by a multicolored vortex. "Fusion Summon! Come forth! Ruler who carries the glory of God! D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc!"
And as such, his fusion summon who had wings on its back and head, holding a sword, appeared on the field.
D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc, Level 7, Fiend, Dark, ATK: 2800, DEF: 2000
Hiraki smirked. 'He just helped me established the conditions for my next move.'
"I set 2 cards face down." Reiji said, putting 2 cards into his duel disk which then appeared on the field facedown. "With that, I shall end my turn."
"Then it's my move! Draw!" Hiraki drew his card, grinning at what he just drew. He analyzed his hand for a bit and noticed he had quite the choice. 'With Polymerization in my hand, it all comes down to a matter of principle.' "From my hand, I activate the spell card known as twin twister and it to destroy 2 of your spell or trap cards on the field at the price of sending one card from my hand to the graveyard!" He grabbed electromagnetic turtle and sent it to the Graveyard. "Now, I choose to destroy your spell card and the face down on the left!"
"Hmph. Not so fast. I activate my trap card D/D Rebuild!" Reiji then pressed a button on his duel disk, revealing his trap card. "With this, cards with "Dark Contract" in their name cannot be destroy by card effects."
Just then, an energy shield appeared in front of his spell card, protecting it. However, the other one was destroyed.
'It seems he won't allow for his spell card to be destroyed.' Serena thought as she was witnessing the duel. 'You better be careful, Hiraki, or you'll lose.'
"Well then, I summon Cyber Valley in attack mode" He declared.
Cyber Valley, Level 1, Machine, Light, ATK: 0, DEF: 0
"I set a card face down, ending my turn" ,He said, inserting the card in his Duel Disk. The card appeared momentarily on the field and then it seemed to disappear.
"My turn. Due to Forbidden contract with the swamp king, I'll take 2000 life points of damage in my standby phase, however, I also activate my Oracle's special ability which gives me life points equal to the amount of effect damage I would have taken."
Reiji LP: 6000
"Draw! I activate D/D Necro Slime's special ability from my graveyard. It lets me fusion summon 1 D/D/D monster by banishing the materials listed on it from my graveyard. I banish both of my D/D Necro Slimes, to fusion summon again!"
Hiraki backed up a bit in shock. 'He was actually fusion summoning again, this is madness!'
Both of his monsters appeared for a moment and went inside the fusion vortex just like last time.
"Slimes from a different dimension, combine into one being! From your darkness create a fire so strong it will not be extinguished! Fusion Summon! Appeared, D/D/D Flame King Genghis!"
Another king appeared on the field, this one with both a shield and a sword.
"Battle! D/D/D Flame King Genghis attacks Cyber Valley! Fire Slash!" Reiji pointed. His monsters obeyed his command and went to destroy Hiraki's monster immediately.
"I activate Cyber Valley's special ability!" He raised his hand in the air. "I can banish it from the field, and end the battle phase. Also, I can draw a card." His monster disappeared, causing for Reiji's monster to stop in its tracks. He drew his card.
"I see, so you were prepared for this scenario." Reiji said, pushing his glasses back in place. "I end my turn"
"My turn! Draw!" He drew again, opening his eyes wide at the card. "So you're finally here, eh?" He smirked, looking at his 2 cyber dragons in his hand. He took both of them along with polymerization. "From my hand, I activate the spell card Polymerization to fusion summon using 2 cyber dragons from my hand!" He then inserted both of his dragons into the Graveyard, and his extra deck opened up for him to grab the new card."Powers of two lights form to make one, show them the form of a dragon's wrath! Fusion Summon! Appear now, double headed dragon! Cyber Twin Dragon!
Cyber Twin Dragon, Level 8, Machine, Light, ATK: 2800, DEF: 2100.
"Battle! Cyber Dragon, destroy his Flame King! Double Evolution Burst! His dragon then threw an energy beam from its mouth to Reiji's monster, destroying it instantly. Reiji was pushed back by the impact, almost making him fall.
Reiji LP: 5200
"How's that?!" He was filled with confidence now. 'If I drew the right card on my next turn, I could end this.'
Reiji began to brush off the dust from his clothes and looked at me. "Most impressive indeed. Your deck sure is full of surprised, but so is mine." I gritted my teeth.
"I end my turn." He said
"My turn! Again, due to Forbidden dark contract with the swap king's effect, I take 2000 points of damage during my Standby Phase and using Oracle's effect, I gain them instead."
Reiji LP: 7200
"Draw!" Reiji then looked at his card and took a moment to think of a strategy.
'He only has 2 cards in his hand, the only thing he could do is probably fusion summon again.' Hiraki thought.
"I activate the second effect of Forbidden dark contract with the swamp king!" Reiji stated, his spell card shining once more. "I can special summon a D/D/D monster from my hand in defense mode with its effects negated. I special summon D/D/D Doom King Armageddon!" Reiji then summoned his monsters.
D/D/D Doom King Armageddon, Level 8, Fiend, Dark, ATK: 3000, DEF: 1000
"Not so fast! When my opponent special summons a monster from his hand, I can special summon my Cyber Dinosaur from my hand without tributing!" Hiraki announced and then put his monsters on the field, revealing a full metal dinosaur.
Cyber Dinosaur, Level 7, Machine, Light, ATK: 2500, DEF: 1900
"You even went ahead and special summon a powerful monster on my turn. You clearly are an interesting one, aren't you?" Reiji smirked. "Then next, I'll summon D/D Berfomet in attack position."
D/D Berfomet, Level 4, Fiend, Dark, ATK: 1400, DEF: 1800
"Next, I activate Forbidden Dark Contract with the swamp king once more to fusion summon using monsters from my field. The ones to go are both my Doom King Armageddon and Berfomet." The two monsters then started levitating toward the fusion vortex.
"Chaotic king who watches over this world's fate, drink the blood washed away by time, and become a dragon slaying hero! Fusion Summon! Be Born! Level 8, D/D/D Cruel Dragon King Beowulf!"
D/D/D Cruel Dragon King Beowulf, Level 8, Fiend, Dark, ATK: 3000, DEF: 2500
"Battle! Get him, Beowulf!" Reiji's new monster then went after his Cyber Twin Dragon.
"From my graveyard, I activate electromagnetic turtle's special ability! By banishing it from the game, I can the end the Battle Phase without taking damage or my monster being destroyed!"
"Not bad, you were predicting my every move it seems. Turn end." Reiji stated.
"I'm ending this now! Draw!" Hiraki drew as dramatically as he could. He made sure to take a quick look at Serena and see her reaction to his moves... She was looking at him with a poker face. He sweatdropped, not surprise at her reaction. "Anyways." I then faced Reiji once more."I set two cards face-down, ending my turn." I said with a low tone. 'Honestly, not the best draw.'
"My Turn! Once again, with the combined abilities of both Oracle and Forbidden dark contract with the swamp king, I gain 2000 life points. Furthermore, using dark contract again, I special summon D/D/D Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok in defense mode." Reiji said.
"No way! Another fusion incoming?" Hiraki said in surprised.
"Not quite. You're in for a surprise my friend. I will overlay both my Beowulf and Ragnarok, both being level 8!"
A portal opened up in front of Reiji on the floor, which was where his monsters went in.
"When two suns rise, the horizon to a new world will open! XYZ Summon! Come forth! Rank 8! D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga!" Reiji chanted. His monster appeared on the field, a fiend sitting down on what it looked like a throne.
D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga, Rank 8 , Fiend, Dark, ATK: 3500, DEF: 3000
"Wh-what is that?!" Hiraki said in awe.
"The turn Kali Yuga is summoned on the field, card effects cannot be activated. Not only that, by detaching one of its overlay units, I can use its special ability." Reiji stated. One of the overlays of his monster disappeared into the air, leaving one behind. "I can destroy all spell cards and trap cards on the field." Hiraki's facedown along with his trap card was destroyed, leaving only his dark contract protected on the field due to his trap's effect for at least one turn. 'Heck, at least I can destroy that contract now.' Hiraki said.
"Battle! Kali Yuga will now attack Cyber Twin Dragon and Oracle attacks Cyber Dinosaur!" Reiji said. Kali Yuga fired dark lightning at Cyber Twin Dragon and Oracle slashed Cyber dinosaur in half.
"Gragh! Aaaaah!" Hiraki was sent flying to the floor due to the impact of the simultaneous attacks. He started getting up again, making sure he hadn't broken anything.
Hiraki LP: 3100
"Surely that wasn't enough for your confidence to disappeared, was it? Reiji asked.
"I'm not backing out." He responded. "I'm not going to lose this easily against you, you hear me?"
"Then with that, I end my turn." He closed his eyes.
"My move! Draw!" I drew my card. 'Perfect, he won't expect this.' He thought. "I activate the spell Card of Sanctity. It allows us to draw until we have 6 cards in our hands." He started drawing my 6 cards and Reiji did so too.
"I thank you for this gift. But why are you being so generous?" Reiji asked.
"Because I'll end it in this turn! Since you control monsters and I don't, I can special summon Cyber Dragon on the field! Appear, Cyber Dragon!"
Cyber Dragon, Level 5, Machine, Light, ATK: 2100, DEF: 1600
"Next, I'll normal summon Cyber Dragon Zwei in attack mode."
Cyber Dragon Zwei, Level 4, Machine, Light, ATK: 1500, DEF: 1000
"I activate its special ability! I can reveal a spell card from my hand to treat this card as a "Cyber Dragon" until my end phase." He said this as he revealed a Power Bond from his hand. This time it was Reiji's turn to look surprised.
"Furthermore, I activate Power Bond from my hand. Thanks to this, I can fusion summon using monsters from my hand and field." He discarded one Cyber Dragon Core, and it appeared on the field along with his other 2 Cyber Dragons. The fusion vortex appeared once again, and he began to chant. "Futuristic dragons of eternity, light that illuminates the darkness of corrupted machines, combine into one being and evolve this generation further beyond! Fusion Summon! Appear! Level 5! Chimeratech Rampage Dragon!
Chimeratech Rampage Dragon, Level 5, Machine, Light, ATK: 4200, DEF: 3200
"I now activate one of my monster's special abilities! I can destroy spells and traps cards on the field up to the number of fusion materials used for this monster!" He Pointed at his Dark contract."Unified Burst!"
Chimeratech then shot a beam of energy from its mouth directly at Reiji's spell card, destroying it.
"Chimeratech's second effect, I sent 2 light monsters to the graveyard, so my monster can Attack again!" He said, sending 2 cyber dragon core from his deck to his Graveyard.
"Battle, I attack both of your monsters with Chimeratech! Rampage Burst!" He pointed forward. Chimeratech Rampage Dragon then fired 2 beams of light towards both of Reiji's monsters. Oracle and Kali Yuga were both pierced by the attack, sending Reiji flying backward from the force of the impact.
Reiji LP: 4600
"I end my turn with that." H said cheerfully, but then reality hit him again or rather, struck him. He cried in pain as he was shocked with lightning.
"You idiot, you do know that you take damage equal to your monster's original attack points, right?" Serena said rolling her eyes. He could hear the sarcasm coming from her voice.
Hiraki LP: 1000
'Damn it!' Hiraki cursed in his head
"My turn. Draw!" Reiji drew his card. "I'm sorry to say that this is the end of this duel, unless of course, you got something up your sleeve."
"Do your worst." He spat at him.
"Very well. With the Scale 1 D/D Savant Copernicus and the Scale 8 D/D Savant Galilei, I set the Pendulum Scale! With this, level 2 through 9 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, my monsters!" Reiji declared as a portal opened up on top of us. From there, 2 monsters came out. "Two copies of my D/D/D Doom King Armageddon!"
"Shit, I'm in for it now!" Hiraki backed up a bit, shaking. 'With no set cards on my field and a monster with 2100 ATK, I have nothing else to do.'
"Battle! My first King Armageddon attacks your monster!" His monsters then threw various dark blasts to his Chimeratech, destroying it.
"Ugh!" Hiraki did his best to stay on his feet.
Hiraki LP: 100
"Hiraki!" He heard Serena screamed... but he didn't look at her. He was looking at the last energy blast coming towards him from his last King Armageddon.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh" He shouted. Lucky for him, he fell on the floor as the impact was reaching his body, making him slide a couple of meters on the floor.
Hiraki LP: 0
Winner: Akaba Reiji!
"Ouch..." He groaned in pain. He tried moving but everything hurt like hell. 'I'm wondering how I wasn't knocked unconscious like Barrett.'
"You moron!" Hiraki heard Serena said, kneeling next to him."Seriously, you need to think more on what you're doing, Hiraki. Putting yourself in danger like this is just out of the question for you."
'Honestly, I could listen to her for hours, but I'm extremely tired and in no condition to get up.'
'Oh great, I'm gonna pass out now...' He thought, finally losing consciousness.
-Yu-Gi-oh-
"Hiraki! Hiraki, get up right now!" Serena was now slapping Hiraki's face a couple of times, to no avail. "Please, be okay..." she murmured the last part out. She then heard Reiji coming towards them at a slow pace. She was about to activate her duel disk but Reiji raised his hands up, in sign of peace.
"No need. I believe we made a deal, isn't that right?" Reiji took a moment, analyzing Serena and then Hiraki, who was on the floor. "My name is Akaba Reiji. Akaba Leo's...son. Do you not remember? I've met the pair of you before. At the Fusion Dimension's Academia. You were the duelist Akaba Leo had his eye on the most there. And now, you have appeared in our world. Did you improve your skills under Akaba Leo's guidance and get sent here as the vanguard for an invasion?"
"Tch. This has nothing to do with Akaba Leo! I came to this world of my own will!" Serena said, then turning to face Hiraki on the floor. "He just decided to butt in on his own. We're not here under anyone's orders. That aside, I remember you as well. Three years ago, you crossed dimensions and came to our world. As I saw many of my comrades getting their chance on the front lines, I was left to live a suffocating life trapped in that strict castle. Not only that, but Hiraki had an even harder time in the Secondary Union. Ever since you appeared three years go!" Serena pointed at Reiji.
Flashback: 3 years ago
One day in Academia, a portal in a laboratory was turned on. There, a young Reiji appeared after crossing dimensions, looking confused. Curiosity got the best of him, so he decided to wander around Academia's hallways until he heard people yelling. He hid behind a pillar and made sure to see what was happening without getting noticed. There, he saw a young Serena grabbing by the hand of a young Hiraki. She was wearing wore a magenta short-sleeved shirt with purple lining and pointed shoulders over a peach shirt with three yellow stars in the middle and a white collar, magenta and white shorts underneath and white boots with peach soles, magenta toes and yellow stars on the toes. Hiraki, on the other hand, was wearing the usual for the Secondary Union's youth uniform, which consisted of a black coat, white shirt, blue tie, white pants and light brown shoes.
Behind them, were three men running after them. All of them were wearing green uniforms.
"My-my legs are starting to hurt, Serena." Hiraki whined. Serena just grabbed his hand harder, making him blush a bit.
"Don't let up just yet Hiraki, we're gonna be alright so please don't stop running!" Serena cheered him on.
Hiraki pulled out a card from his pocket, which was a polymerization card, but instead of its normal design, was a picture of the two of them in which they were both smiling.
He put the card back in place and started running even faster to the point in which he was ahead of them both.
After a while, they were cornered by the 3 men who were chasing this time, a new one with a purple cape and blonde hair was with them.
The man with the cape stepped forward. "It is the Professor's orders. Please come back, Serena-sama."
"I want to test my own abilities!" Serena snapped.
"There is no way the Professor would allow you to do that." The man responded.
Just then, Reiji appeared above them, still hiding from their sight.
"I don't need his permission!" Serena argued back. She then activated her duel disk, Hiraki doing the same.
"We're both getting out of here on our own will!" They both said together in unison.
"You leave me no choice. Capture them." The man said, backing out to leave his 3 comrades in front of him. They activated their duel disks.
"I summon Moonlight Blue Cat from my hand!" Serena declared. A female humanoid cat appeared on the field.
Moonlight Blue Cat, Level 4, Beast-Warrior, Dark, ATK:1600, DEF: 1200
"I set one card and end my turn!" She said. "Go Hiraki-kun!"
"Right, here I go! I'll start off by summoning Cyber Dragon Drei in attack mode!" Hiraki announced, his monster appearing in front of Blue cat.
Cyber Dragon Drei, Level 4, Machine, Light, ATK: 1800, DEF: 800
"I'll end it with just that. I think?" Hiraki took a moment and then finally came to his conclusion."Yep, I end my turn!"
Reiji observing the duel, was amazed to find out that the monsters had mass even though there isn't an action field.
"It's ridiculous that you even call yourselves professors of Academia. Serena taunted them.
"Academia?!" Reiji said in shocked.
"Don't you kids get ahead of yourselves. This isn't over!" The man watching said.
"I summon D/D Cerberus!" Reiji announced. Everyone looked at him in surprised. "Battle!" Cerberus then destroyed Ancient Gear soldier with ease.
"Up here!" Reiji said, holding his hand for them to grab.
"You go, I'll catch up with you later!" Hiraki said much to Serena's surprise.
"What?! You can't! They'll hurt you!" Serena replied trying to get him back to his senses.
"It's okay, just trust me on this one." Hiraki said. He then helped her get back up and Reiji grabbed her hand, pulling her up.
All of the professors then charged at Hiraki, but he managed to jump on top of the one with the cape's head and then climbed up too, going after the others.
"Where is your boat?!" Serena yelled at Reiji.
Hiraki then started looking everywhere, not seeing a single boat around. "Crap, if we don't hurry up then the professor wil-
"Looks like you kids have been having fun." A voice said. The three of them looked where the voice was coming from.
The Professor then revealed himself alongside 4 of the obelisk force.
"Father!" Reiji yelled.
"Serena, I know your abilities more than anyone else." He said in a calm voice.
"Then why do you keep me locked on this island?!" Serena replied. "Why do you not use my abilities?!"
Serena kept arguing about her wanting to be of use, but The Professor kept insisting that it wasn't the time yet. Reiji himself spoke out and demanded answers on what was going on.
"What are you doing?!" Serena yelled. She was grabbed by the obelisk force.
"You bastards! Let her g-!" Hiraki was going to help Serena, but one of the Obelisk Force punched him in the gut, knocking the air out of him.
"No! Don't hurt him" Serena cried out.
"Well, well, look what we have here." Red said maliciously. "A Secondary trash. I'm surprised you went all out to do this."
Hiraki fell on the floor and Green wrapped his arm around Hiraki's waist to carry him. He then moved towards the Professor along with the other 2 who were holding Serena.
"I will find you no matter where you run." Professor said to Serena. "And definitely bring you back! Definitely!" He then looked a Hiraki, who was both scared and angry.
"Please Professor, she didn't mean any harm! I take full responsibility for what has happened today." Hiraki tried to sound convincing.
The Professor then turn to Green, as if asking him something."He's from the Secondary Union." Green said aloud.
"Secondary Union..." Akaba Leo kept looking at Hiraki, making him even more nervous."Take him to my office, I must have a word with him."
"Yes, sir!"Green saluted. He then turned around and started walking back inside Academia.
"No! Don't hurt him, please!"Serena kept begging, trying to set herself free from their grasp but was taken away as well.
Reiji, who was being restrained as well, kept demanding his father for answers.
"Heya!" A cheerful voice said, mucho the surprise of everyone.
"Ah, Seiko, I was wondering where you have gone."Leo said to a young girl around Reiji's age, who was coming their way. She had blue eyes, blonde hair along with 2 pink bangs that fall to either side of her face. She was wearing Ra Yellow jacket which was worn over a pink shirt. She was also wearing a white skirt that reached her knees with white boots.
"My sincerest apologies, dear Professor. But I cannot deny that I took interest in this young man right here! So, I came to ask you if you would give me the honor of escorting back the teleportation room and take him back to his own little dimension. Pretty please?" She winked twice, her eyes no sparkling with emotion.
"There's no need for that." Leo said. Reiji's watch was now beginning to shine.
"Aw, that's too bad!" She said while pouting. She then looked directly at Reiji with a smiling face and winked. "We'll see each other again, I'm sure."
Reiji blushed heavily, but then the realization hit him and tried to reach for his father but it was too late. He had gone back to Standard.
-Flashback ended-
"These last three years, I have been making preparations to crush Akaba Leo's ambitions. That's the reason I took control over Leo Corporation in his place." Reiji then took a quick glance a Hiraki, who was still lying on the floor along with Barrett, however, he managed to teleport back to Academia to inform The Professor of the current situation.
-Yu-Gi-Oh-
Back in Academia, it was an about day like any other. Yuri was walking around in the hallways when he felt as if someone was hugging him.
"Yuri-kun! It's soooo nice to see you! How have you been, my dear?" The young woman said, letting him go.
"A pleasure to see you again too, Seiko-san. I'm pretty bored, honestly. There's really not much of a challenge here anyways. You know how it is." Yuri rolled his eyes.
"Oh trust me! I understand you completely. This place can be pretty damn boring when every duelist here is as worthless as any other." Seiko said while pouting. "Speaking of worthless, I heard a rumor going around that you might find both funny and interesting," Seiko said.
"Oh? And what would that be?" Yuri said while raising an eyebrow.
"I heard Hiraki helped Serena go to standard." She said in a monotone tone.
"What?! Now that's a laugh!" Yuri began laughing uncontrollably, but then he seized. "Although it does makes sense, since I haven't seen him in a couple of days. I thought he killed himself or something for being so damn useless."
"What a bully you are! Really now, you could be a heartless monster sometimes." She said while crossing her arms under her chest.
"You're saying that to me, yet you are just as venomous as I am!" Yuri began to laugh even harder than before.
Seiko smiled and closed her eyes. Steps could be heard coming her way while the camera kept focusing on her smile. As the steps began to fade, she opened her eyes. "You have no idea."
Behind her, were at least 8 people whose faces weren't visible. Only their crimson eyes could be seen. All of them bowed down, making Seiko giggle.
And that wraps it up for this chapter people. Honestly, I am enjoying writing this and I hope everyone else is enjoying it as well. I was thinking about some fan based archetypes so any suggestions are welcome! :P
