Day 14: Deckbuilding
Yuya's deck was building itself.
He did not know when exactly realized it. He did not even feel like there was a card being created out of thin air. Instead, Yuya felt like the power that was within his deck was slowly unlocking itself. His deck used to be a mass of unorganized Entermate monsters with a few other monsters and some Spells and Traps in the mix. Then one day, his deck was full of Pendulum monsters, and while it was still unorganized, it now had a winning image. He didn't remember what exactly had happened during his match against strong Ishijima, nor he particularly cared.
He consciously realized that there was something deeper about his power when he first dueled Mieru. The call of the sealed dragon had awakened something within Yuya. He didn't question it. He knew exactly what he had to do with it. He summoned Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and it felt great, a surge of power and certainty, and in that instance he had known, that this was what laid beyond the Pendulum.
Yuya knew that his deck would always give him what he wanted. And he believed in it. During his duel with Gogenzaka, when he knew that, even though he had no fusion cards in his deck, he had to summon Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, his deck had given him Entermate Trump Witch. When he needed one more attack to win the duel, his deck had given him Double-Up Chance, and the savage growl of Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon had filled his heart with confidence.
But sometimes this power scared Yuya. He knew that the cards in his deck were created by his whishes, no matter what kind of whishes they were. Just like those cards could be born by hope, they could also be born by hatred. And Yuya did have the proof for it, right in his Extra Deck. The Supreme Black King Dragon, Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon. The result of the combined wrath of himself and Ute, their fused spirits (how ironic). The Magicians of Creation and Destruction. Two exact opposite forces that combined the two Dragons and souls and created a Dragon that could only be described as the embodiment of Chaos. This power threw him in darkness, and even when he consciously summoned the terrifying yet majestic creature, he could still feel the dark power of his anger feeding the creature with strength.
However, all those things were not the most important ones. Those cards were not the only cards he had obtained. He had Ute's card, Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon, and his dad's card. Smile World. Those two cards were far more important.
Besides, who knew how to duel better than the cards themselves?
