bopdog111: Okay looks like Frisk is up against Chara.
Ulrich362: True, though this is going to be an extremely difficult match for the older Dreemurr.
bopdog111: What can this sister duel lead too?
Ulrich362: Nothing good unfortunately. Well no time like the present, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V or Undertale but we own the OCs!
"And now let's start our next match with Chara Dreemurr vs Frisk Dreemurr!" the woman called.
The two sisters walked down to take their positions but Chara looked incredibly upset.
"This is bad." Asriel frowned. "Can't they just skip this one?"
"Can't do that." Hydron told him, "The Friendship Cup is really strict about action, and if your late it's an immediate disqualification."
Asriel frowned hearing that. "You don't get it; this isn't like the other matches."
"Think I don't know what you're talking about?" Hydron asked him.
Asriel just looked away at that before walking over to stand with Aria and Yuzu while they looked down at the track.
"Frisk..." Chara started uncertainly before looking down.
Frisk patted her back.
Chara shook her head. "I forfeit!"
"What was that?" a Tops man glared.
"You heard me." Chara replied. "I forfeit this match."
"What a coward." a Tops woman scoffed, "She shouldn't be allowed to compete."
As she said that other Tops started to ridicule Chara. Chara ignored them and walked off. Crow patted her back.
"These humans don't get it." Chara frowned.
"We get it." Reira told her.
"You're the exceptions... humanity is still the same. Cruel, heartless, and hateful." Chara whispered before turning to quietly watch the next matches.
"Who's next?" Matthew asked.
Yugo looked worried about Chara for a few seconds before pausing and turning to Hector. "It's our turn."
Hector nodded as they walked to the arena. When they got there Yugo noticed his deck was glowing before he took out a card and felt intense anger coming from Clear Wing Synchro Dragon. The countdown started.
'Something's wrong, what's going on here?' Yugo thought as the countdown hit zero and Hector took an early lead before Yugo realized the match had started and raced off after him.
Hector raced off and got ahead.
"Duel!" Hector and Yugo called together.
Hector: 4000
Yugo: 4000
Hector 1st Turn:
Hector drew, "I activate Impcantation Bookstone's effect in my hand! By revealing this card, and a Ritual Spell, I can summon both this card, and an Impcantation from my deck!"
"Alright." Yugo nodded only to frown. 'Something's wrong, I should end this one quick. Good thing I have just the hand to do it.'
"Come forth!" Hector called as Bookstone, and Talismandra appeared.

You can reveal 1 Ritual Monster in your hand; Special Summon both this card from your hand and 1 "Impcantation" monster from your Deck, except "Impcantation Talismandra". If this card is Special Summoned from the Deck: You can add 1 Ritual Monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use 1 "Impcantation Talismandra" effect per turn, and only once that turn. You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck.

You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck.
"Let me guess, you're planning on bringing out a powerful Ritual now?" Yugo guessed.
"Well due to Talismandra's special ability, I can add a Ritual monster to my hand." Hector said showing the card.
Yugo nodded at that.
"And now I activate the Ritual Spell, Cycle of the World!" Hector called.
Cycle of the World
Ritual Spell Card
This card is used to Ritual Summon "Ruin, Queen of Oblivion" or "Demise, King of Armageddon". You must also Tribute monsters from your field whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon. During your Main Phase, except the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can shuffle this card into the Deck; add 1 "End of the World" from your Deck to your hand, then, you can add 1 "Ruin, Queen of Oblivion" or "Demise, King of Armageddon" from your GY to your hand.
Yugo nodded at that before pausing. 'Clear Wing, what's wrong with you?'
"With it I sacrifice Demise, Agent of Armageddon, and Ruin, Angel of Oblivion!" Hector called as the two downgraded forms of Demise, and Ruin appeared vanishing.
"Which one is he bringing out?" Crow inquired curiously.
"King of Armageddon cross here to judge those worthy of your judgement, and with your sister's aid may your power help you! Ritual Summon! Appear level 8! Demise, King of Armageddon!" Hector chanted.
At that Demise appeared ready.
Demise, King of Armageddon
Dark Attribute
Level 8
Fiend/Ritual
ATK: 2400
DEF: 2000
This card can only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card, "End of the World". You can pay 2000 Life Points to destroy all cards on the field, except this card.
"Something's wrong." Yuzu frowned.
"And now since both of their downgraded forms are sent to the graveyard, they give Demise two effects, and they are that you can't do anything when he attacks or uses his ability." Hector told Yugo.
"Wait what?" Yugo asked in shock. "You're kidding."
"And now I place two cards facedown. Your move." Hector ended his turn.
Yugo 1st Turn:
Yugo drew his card only to pause and frown. 'Clear Wing you... what's wrong this isn't like you at all.'
Hector waited for Yugo. Yugo frowned before looking at his hand again only to sigh. "I pass. I can't play a single card this turn."
That confused everyone.
"What, nobody's drawn a hand they couldn't use before?" Yugo questioned. "Anyone could have terrible luck in a match."
Hector 2nd Turn:
Hector at that drew saying, "I activate United We Stand!"
United We Stand
Equip Spell Card
The equipped monster gains 800 ATK/DEF for each face-up monster you control.
Yugo nodded at that.
Demise: (ATK: 2400 + (800 * 3) = 4800)
"Demise attack him directly!" Hector called.
Yugo closed his eyes and just accepted the attack as it wiped out his life points instantly.
Yugo: 0000
Winner Hector.
"Well that's it. Yugo has lost." the woman said as the Tops booed at Yugo.
Yugo frowned as he and Hector walked off to make room for Yuzu and Hydron. Hector asked him, "Why did you do that?"
"I had bad luck. That's all there is to it." Yugo admitted while putting his deck away.
'I can tell that isn't what's the problem.' Hector thought before they turned.
Yuzu and Hydron had gone down to the track before Yuzu sighed. "Do... do you even want to duel anymore?"
"Do you?" Hydron asked her.
"After the last two matches, I don't think I do." Yuzu admitted. "Maybe my friends and I shouldn't have entered in the first place."
"It's just bad luck no big deal." Hydron told her, "If you feel you can't keep up with paying the bill for continuing you can get out."
Yuzu frowned. "Look, I know for a fact I could beat you Hydron but there's more going on than just one tournament. A lot more and now just isn't the right time."
"Think I don't know that?" Hydron asked her, "Something isn't right, and I can't shake off this feeling something's going to happen."
Hydron nodded as they sped off.
Yuzu: 4000
Hydron: 4000
Hydron 1st Turn:
"I'm up!" Hydron called drawing, "And I'll kick things off by placing three cards facedown, and activating Chain Energy!"
Chain Energy
Continuous Spell Card
Each player must pay 500 Life Points per card to Normal Summon, Special Summon, Set or activate cards from his/her respective hand.
Yuzu looked at the card before pausing. "Huh? 500 life points to play any card in my hand, that's a pretty steep price."
"Dueling isn't for free." Hydron grinned, "And there are other ways to duel rather than using monsters."
"I know that." Yuzu nodded. "So, anything else?"
"Your turn." Hydron ended.
Yuzu 1st Turn:
Yuzu drew her card before looking at her hand. 'Ok, I lose 500 points per card so I can only use seven cards the entire match. I'm almost sure Hydron put down a trap or two to stop my attacks which means I need to think carefully about my moves.'
Hydron waited.
"Alright, I'll start by activating the spell card 1st Movement Solo. This spell lets me summon Aria the Melodious Diva from my deck." Yuzu started as her monster appeared while Asriel blushed and the Aria watching the match gently smiled and took his hand.
1st Movement Solo
Normal Spell Card
If you control no monsters: Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Melodious" monster from your hand or Deck. You can only activate 1 "1st Movement Solo" per turn. You cannot Special Summon monsters during the turn you activate this card, except "Melodious" monsters.

DEF: 1000
If you control a "Melodious" monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). While this Special Summoned card is on the field, all Fairy-Type monsters you control gain 500 ATK and DEF.
"Then thanks to their abilities, both Sonata's give all my Fairy monsters 500 more attack and defense points."
Sonata (X2): (ATK: 1200 + 500 + 500 = 2200/DEF: 1000 + 500 + 500 = 2000)
Aria: (ATK: 1600 + 500 + 500 = 2600/DEF: 1200 + 500 + 500 = 2200)
"Don't forget for every card in your hand that you use you must pay Chain Energy's cost." Hydron told her.
Yuzu: 2000
"I know. I summon Canon the Melodious Diva in attack mode with her effect, I normal summon Solo the Melodious Songstress, and I set this last card." Yuzu stated. "That's it."

Solo: (ATK: 1600 + 500 + 500 = 2600/DEF: 1000 + 500 + 500 = 2000)
Yuzu: 500
"Yuzu sure did gave up a ton of points. Was it worth it?" the woman asked.
Yuzu just smiled looking at her field. "Give me everything you've got Hydron."
Hydron 2nd Turn:
"Alright since you said so." Hydron grinned drawing, "And I'll activate my face-down, The Paths to Destiny!"
The Paths to Destiny
Normal Trap Card
Both players toss a coin once. If a player's result is Heads, they gain 2000 Life Points, and if their result is Tails, they take 2000 damage.
"Don't be so hasty, I have my own trap card Musical Mayhem and this trap deals 800 points of damage for every Melodious Monster I control, and I have five of them." Yuzu revealed.
Musical Mayhem
Normal Trap Card
Inflict 800 damage to your opponent for each "Melodious" monster you control.
Hydron looked surprised before thinking, 'My face-down is Golden Apples... And this means... Well done...'
Yuzu's five monsters sang in harmony before her trap fired a blast that instantly wiped out Hydron's life points.
Hydron: 0000
Winner Yuzu.
"And that was a quick win!" the woman called.
Meanwhile…
"None of you have any ideas do you?" Yuri inquired to the others. "If Chara stays with the targets there's absolutely nothing I can do to bring them back to the Professor. So unless something happens to change things all we've worked for is meaningless."
"What do you propose we do then?" Barrett asked him.
"If I knew I would tell you Barrett." Yuri answered.
"So, should we get her away from them?" Dennis asked.
"Right, and how exactly do you plan on doing that Dennis? It's not like any of us can pretend we aren't from the Fusion Dimension anymore." Gloria pointed out. "She saw all of us together not that long ago."
"I know that." Dennis told her.
"In other words, the real question is who's going to tell the Professor the Arc-Area Project is a failure?" Grace asked the group.
"No-one." Sora told her, "We just need to get Chara away from them."
"Alright Sora, if it's that simple then how do you suggest we do that?" Edo questioned. "If we get anywhere near her Starve Venom protects her."
"I'll look for her and use her trust on me against her. If that doesn't work the Tyler Sisters will ambush her and get her." Sora told them, "The rest of us will get the targets."
"It's worth a try I..." Edo started only for Yuri to walk out of the room.
"Where are you going?" Dennis asked him.
"To the Professor, he's keeping secrets from all of us and they clearly concern me. I intend on learning exactly what this mysterious link between some girl and my Starve Venom Fusion Dragon is... even if I have to use force." Yuri answered.
"You do know that the Professor's safety is more important for us then our mission, right?" Grace asked him.
Yuri paused and turned to her calmly. "I'll get my answers Grace, if you want to try and protect the Professor then by all means go. I'll just crush you first."
Grace grunted before turning.
Yuri stared at the group again before walking off to confront the Professor.
"Hopefully he doesn't do anything drastic to the Professor." Dennis told them.
Barrett frowned at that.
"So, we better get moving." Sora told them.
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
bopdog111: Short chapter.
Ulrich362; True, sorry about that. Though I will say that for anyone annoyed by Yugo in this chapter... he'll play a significant role in the extended Xyz Arc. He'll be going there with some of the Lancers once we reach that point.
bopdog111: Next up is Matthew's duel against Crow.
Ulrich362: Yup the final match of round 2. It'll be interesting.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
Ulrich362: See you in the next chapter.
