bopdog111: Okay guys we're back.

Ulrich362: Yup, time for day two of the tournament to begin. Though can Jack take down the former leader of Duel Academy? My guess is yeah he probably can and will.

bopdog111: He doesn't have a Pendulum Monster though.

Ulrich362: Exactly, which means Leo Akaba can't copy his scale.

bopdog111: Nor can Jack attack if he manages to bring Pendulum Governor out.

Ulrich362: Not entirely true though we'll have to see what happens. Enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V or Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS but we own the OCs!


"Alright duel fans, the first day gave us quite a number of impressive matches so lets not waste any time and keep things moving." Nico Smiley grinned.

"And now let's see what's next!" Melissa grinned.

The faces appeared again before fading away revealing that the next duelists were Leo Akaba and Jack Atlas.

"Grandpa is next." Ace smiled.

"Yeah." Dawn nodded. "You've never seen grandpa duel have you Ace?"

"No." Ace answered.

"Well he's really strong." Dawn smiled. "Watch."

They both walked to the field.

"This is interesting." Jack smirked. "The Professor of Duel Academy himself, and I get to take him down."

"I don't go by that anymore Jack." Leo Akaba told him.

"Well I can't very well call two completely different people Leo now can I?" Jack inquired. "That aside, after you."

"DUEL!"

"By paying 1000 Life Points I can reveal a Pendulum Monster in my hand. And by doing that my left Reactor's Scale increases by that monster's level."

"Oh... there goes you not having a working scale." Jack frowned.

"I reveal the Level 7, Spirit Tech Force - Pendulum Governor!" Leo Akaba called revealing the card.

Spirit Reactor: (PS: 1 + 7 = 8)

"Though it goes back to one during my third End Phase." Leo Akaba told Jack. "And I can Pendulum Summon the revealed monster this turn."

"In other words, I'm about to be in for an almost impossible match." Jack frowned.

(Leo Akaba: 3000)

"I place 2 cards down, and end my turn." Leo Akaba ended.

Jack 1st Turn:

"I would have to be an amateur to walk into the obvious trap you've set up so instead I'll set two cards of my own and summon a little monster known as Archfiend Interceptor to end my turn." Jack stated.

If this card is Pendulum Summoned from the Extra Deck: You can return it to the hand.


Jack frowned seeing that.

"Now I activate Pendulum Governor's ability!" Leo Akaba called.

"Great." Jack frowned.

"So now your Archfiend is destroyed, and you take 800 points of damage!" Leo Akaba called.

Jack's monster shattered.

(Jack: 3200)

"Now Pendulum Governor attack Jack directly!" Leo Akaba called.

Jack flinched taking the hit.

(Jack: 0400)

"Your turn Jack." Leo Akaba ended.

"Whoa grandpa's strong." Ace said in awe.

"Yeah, he sure is." Dawn smiled.

Jack 2nd Turn:

"You're good, but unfortunately not quite good enough." Jack smirked.

(LV: 3 + 5 = 8)

Alex's birthmark started to slightly glow.

"Huh? Big sis?" Ace asked seeing it.

"The ruler's heartbeats will now file through here! Take witness to its creation-shaking power! Synchro Summon! My very soul, Red Dragon Archfiend!"

This card must also remain face-up on the field to activate and to resolve this effect.


"That's a great idea, Jack's dragon is..." Melissa started only to gasp. "Wait, why is it in defense mode?"

They looked to see it was indeed in defense mode.

"Your bring your dragon out in defense?" Leo Akaba asked.

"That's right, and it's all thanks to the spell card Gravity Shift." Jack smirked.


Gravity Shift

Normal Spell Card

All monsters on the field switch battle positions.


Pendulum Governor switched to defense mode as well. Meanwhile Jack's ace roared as it switched into attack mode.

"Now with that taken care of this last card is the key to my victory." Jack smirked.

They watched on as Jack's dragon roared while Alex started to feel something.

"Huh?" Feeling like a little sensation she turned to her shoulder to see her birthmark glowing slightly.

"Alex... are you alright?" Leo asked nervously.

"I don't know. I think... Jack's dragon is trying to tell me something." Alex answered.

Leo turned to the dragon nervously.

"I activate the spell card Power Dominance." Jack stated as his dragon roared.


Power Dominance

Equip Spell Card

The equipped monster is unaffected by the effects of monsters with a lower level. By paying half your Life Points, negate all spell and trap effects on your opponent's field until the end phase.


"What's that?" Leo Abaka asked seeing this.

"A spell that means any monster with a lower level than my Red Dragon Archfiend can't use their abilities against him, and at the cost of half my life points all your spell and trap effects are negated too." Jack stated.

(Jack: 0200)

Leo Akaba grunted at this.

"Now then, time to put an end to this duel. Red Dragon Archfiend attack Spirit Tech Force - Pendulum Governor with Absolute Power Force!" Jack called.

The monster attacked destroying Pendulum Governor.

"Now for the finishing touch, the trap card Lineage of Destruction." Jack stated.

"Since my Red Dragon Archfiend destroyed one of your monsters in defense mode this trap lets him attack you again."

"It can what?" Leo Akaba asked surprised.

"You heard me, now wipe out his life points and put an end to this duel." Jack declared.

Red Dragon Archfiend fired a blast hitting Leo Akaba.


Jack: 0200

Leo Akaba: 0000

Jack wins the duel!


"If we'd been dueling before you would have won. I had cards made to counter Pendulum ever since the war." Jack explained.

"They fit you well." Leo Akaba admitted.

Jack nodded with a smile. "Well, lets see who's up next."

They walked back as Jack notices Alex's shoulder glowed before it faded back to normal.

"Well, time to see who's up next." Nico Smiley grinned as the faces appeared before slowly fading to reveal...

"Huh, well this is going to be fun." Yuri smirked.

They looked to see. Yuri was dueling Ray. Zarc turned to his wife.

"No, I guess we don't." Yuri smiled. "Well then, shall we?"

Ray nodded as they walked.

"This duel will be another Speed Duel." Melissa revealed.

"Speed Duel..." Ray trailed off.

We're in the same boat, I've never ridden either." Yuri told her. "Oh well, first time for everything."

Ray nodded as they entered the field.

"DUEL!" Yuri and Ray called together.

"Yeah, it really does." Yugo nodded.

"Now I activate his ability! It gives me Life Points equal to half the attack points of a monster I control!" Ray called as she glowed. (Ray: 5100)

"Consider me intrigued, any other surprises Ray?" Yuri asked.

"Since Natural Tiger was used for a Synchro Summon I can add En Birds to my hand." Ray answered showing the card.

Yuri nodded at that.

"Mommy's the greatest duelist ever." Ace smiled.

"I set 2 cards, and end my turn." Ray ended.

"It seems our announcer is impressed so I think I'll destroy Natural Parakeet and stop your life points from increasing any higher." Yuri stated.

The dragon attacked destroying it. (Ray: 5700)

"That's enough for now, but with Fusion open to me at this level the duel won't take much longer." Yuri stated. "There's a reason even Z-ARC is a Fusion Monster after all."

"Well I'll be, Ray is proving to be quite the powerful duelist." Melissa smiled.

"You can't tell? I am the wife of Zarc after all." Ray smiled.

"Then please, show me what you can do." Yuri smiled.

"Since I Xyz Summoned him Natural Horse lets me add En Winds from my Deck to my hand." Ray said adding the Natural Energy Card.

"Alright, but what are you planning on doing with that spell?" Yuri questioned. "En Moon is the only one that effects me in the slightest."

"Well now I play the trap card Natural Stand-Off!" Ray called.

Natural Horse: (ATK: 2100 + 500 = 2600)

"Next I activate it's Special Ability! By using an Overlay Unit I can summon Natural Bird from the graveyard in defense mode!" Ray called as the bird appeared. (ORU: 2 - 1) "Then I activate the spell, Enforcement! This allows Natural Horse to gain another 500!"

"Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon!" Yuri answered as the dragon appeared before turning transparent and flying into Starving Venom Fusion Dragon.

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: (ATK: 2800 + 3300 = 6100)

"Now I'll use Starving Venom's new ability to negate Natural Horse's abilities and reduce it to zero attack points."

Natural Horse neighed weakly. (ATK: 2100 - 2100 = 0)

"You're good Ray, but I'm better." Yuri said calmly. "Starving Venom Fusion Dragon end this duel!"

Ray didn't drew due to Reckless Greed as she smiled, "Yuri you played a good game but it's not enough to beat me. Because I'll be activating my own Skill."

"When I have less then 1000 Life Points, and have these 5 in my hand I can banish them, and then all Fusion, Xyz, Synchro, Ritual, and Pendulum monsters loses their special abilities for this turn, and then their destroyed at the end of this turn."

Yuri's eyes widened in shock as his dragon lost its abilities.

"That'll end my turn which means my skill destroys Starving Venom." Ray ended.

"Hm?" Ray asked.

The dragon attacked destroying the bird as Ray smiled.


Ray: 0000

Yuri: 0300

Yuri wins the duel!


"That was a good match Ray." Yuri smiled offering his hand.

Ray smiled taking his hand.

"Well, with that intense finish Yuri claims the victory." Nico Smiley announced.

The audience cheered as they walked back.

"You were amazing mommy. Next time you'll win for sure." Ace smiled hugging her.

Ray smiled hugging her son back.

"Lets keep this high energy dueling going with a Master Duel." Nico Smiley announced as the faces reappeared.

Alex then gave a small shudder.

"Alex?" Yugo asked kneeling down. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"I... Just felt like a bad feeling. I had a dream more like a nightmare last night." Alex answered.

"Huh? What kind of nightmare? Do you want to tell me about it, maybe we can help." Yugo offered hugging her.

"Well it's about huge monsters that looks like... Uh what's it's name again?" Alex asked trying to remember. "I know it's on the tip of my tongue..."

"Not like Despair King right?" Yugo asked.

"No it's not that. It might be better if I say what it looks like." Alex answered. "It was huge like the size of a building, with blue lines over it, and whenever it's summoned a heart made of stone appears."

Leo's eyes widened in horror. "An Earthbound Immortal!"

"Not just that, Ccapac Apu. The same one Kalin summoned against Julia in the Friendship Cup." Yusei stated.

"Yeah that was it's name." Alex nodded. "But I see several others with it. A yellow Monkey, a purple Killer Whale, a green Frog, a red Spider, a orange Hummingbird, and a pink Condor."

"Cusillu, Chacu Challhua, Ccarayhua, Uru, Aslla Piscu, and Wiraqocha Rasca." Jack answered. "But... why would you have a nightmare about them of all things? And the same night the Magicians had their own nightmare?"

"Well... I seen them hurting everyone... All being used by one person." Alex answered slowly.

"All being..." Yusei started. "Alex you just leave everything to us, we defeated them once and we'll do it again."

"In the meantime, you're up." Akiza smiled. "So just go and have some fun."

"Huh? I'm dueling next?" Alex asked.

"Yeah, so lets have fun little sis." Dawn smiled.

Alex looked at the screen. She was about to duel Dawn. Alex turned to her before smiling shaking her hand. Alex nodded at this as they walked off. That was before Stacy asked, "Earthbound Immortals? Are they like Deities?"

"Remember the monster Kalin summoned? Imagine six others just as powerful and all seven of them together." Jack told her.

"Yeah that thing itself was enough to get me down like that." Casey answered wincing remembering the negative feelings he felt. "Plus I felt a lot of revenge, and anger in it."

"That's true of all seven. Casey, if they do come back you can't be anywhere near the Earthbound Immortals." Yusei told him.

"Yeah your right. Just one is enough for me. If all seven are gathered it could do things worse like... Killing me." Casey agreed.

"Not could Casey, will kill you." Jack told him. "Not to mention if that somehow is involved."

"If that shows up, we're all in trouble." Crow agreed.

"That?" Lilly asked confused.

"What do you mean by that?" Yuya asked.

"The Earthbound Immortals come from a place called the Netherworld. They're soldiers, serving their king." Jack answered.

"The King of the Netherworld makes the Earthbound Immortals, and the negative emotions Casey was feeling look trivial in comparison." Yusei stated.

"But Alex told us that only one person wielded seven of these things." Zuzu remembered. "Just how powerful are they by themselves?"

"By themselves, each one nearly defeated us in separate duels. I don't know if using them all is even possible, but if it is we're not all making it out alive." Yusei answered.

"Along with the use Dark Synchro." Crow added.

"Dark Synchro?" Yuya asked. "You mean like a Dark Synchro Monster?"

"Not exactly." Crow answered. "The Dark Signers uses a summoning method that is like Synchro Summoning expect it contains evil differences."

"Like for one instead of adding levels it subtracts levels." Jack explained.

"And instead of using a Tuner Monster they use a Dark Tuner Monster." Yusei added.

"And their's more. Each of these Dark Synchros have a negative level." Akiza finished.

Lulu suddenly shuddered. "But... if there was Dark Fusion, and Dark Synchro... what would Dark Xyz be like?"

"Nothing good." Yuto answered. "But hey they aren't here yet, and besides we aren't sure if they do return so we should not worry about them right?"

"I trust Alex, Yuto, and you should too." Yugo mentioned before turning towards the duel.

The two got ready.

"DUEL!"

"You can do it Alex." Leo grinned.

"Who goes first?" Alex asked.

"You can." Dawn smiled.

Alex 1st Turn:

Alex drew as she looked.

"I'm rooting for you Alex." Rin smiled before wincing in pain again.

"Alex is good, but Dawn is probably going to win." Sylvio admitted.

"You have a point, and..." Dennis started before gasping. "Rin?"

They looked to see. She looked to be in a lot of pain and was holding her chest.

"Bruno... please stop." Rin said weakly before wincing again.

"Rin?" Yoko asked stunned as she checked over. "What's wrong?"

"He won't stop kicking." Rin answered before wincing in pain. "Bruno, you're starting to really hurt mommy."

Alex then said, "Alright now Sulfenir destroys itself!"

The Griffin shattered.

Suddenly people started talking in the crowds.

"Huh? What are they doing?" Ai asked seeing this.

That's when they noticed Sylvio and Dennis talking to officials.

"Hey what are they doing?" Yuya asked confused.

Suddenly Zuzu gasped. "Look you guys, Rin's unconscious!"

"Rin?" Yugo asked shocked as they looked seeing she was unconscious. "RIN!"

"I'm going with them." Dawn said before running off.

Yugo looked really worried.

"She'll be ok." Yuto reassured him.

Alex then called, "Now I place a card down to end my turn."

"Come on Alex!" Leo called.

Alex turned to him.

"You can do it." Leo cheered with a smile.

Alex smiled nodding before turning to Dawn. "Go on Dawn."

"Who do I root for daddy?" Ace asked.

"I'm not sure." Zarc answered.

Ace frowned hearing that. They turned to see Dawn's turn.

"This won't be easy." Yusei noted.

"Alex!" Leo cried fearfully.

"Now Virgil attack!" Dawn called.

Virgil charged as Alex called, "I activate Rion's Special Ability!"

"You were saying Jack?" Leo grinned.

"You cried out fearfully for her." Jack pointed out with his own grin.

Leo blushed before his eyes widened. "Jack your mark!"

Jack looked at his mark. It along with all the other marks of the Crimson Dragon were glowing.

"What's going on?" Luna asked surprised.

"Rion allows me to summon a banished non-Tuner, and then Synchro Summon during your attack!" Alex called as Rosenix appeared.

Suddenly a deafening roar echoed across the arena.

"Wh-Wh-What was that?" Alex asked startled hearing that.

That's when the Crimson Dragon appeared floating above them.

"Whoa what's that!?" Nico asked shocked.

Alex looked stunned seeing it was she caught her Extra Deck glowing as she pulled out Coral Dragon which was glowing. The Crimson Dragon shot a crimson beam at the card before it began glowing and splitting into two. Alex looked shocked as she grabbed both ends. That's when the card split into two separate cards, one being Coral Dragon and the other a larger sea-green dragon named Marine Dragon.

"Wh-Whoa..." Alex said amazed before she looked up at the Crimson Dragon. "Uh... Thanks."

The dragon met her gaze and roared before vanishing.

"...What was that?" Lilly asked surprised.

"Something awesome." Leo grinned.

"Did the Crimson Dragon gave Alex a Dragon?" Crow asked shocked. "Okay never mind that did she just gained a Signer Dragon of her own!?"

"No, she isn't a signer." Jack answered.

"No, but Coral Dragon is linked to the Crimson Dragon so maybe he lent her some power." Akiza suggested.

Alex looked at the two cards as she smiled before adding the two back to her Extra Deck. Dawn looked surprised before smiling, "Well it's a replay so Virgil attacks your Smiger!"

Smiger tensed as the monster charged destroying him. (Alex: 2500)

"I'll place a card down, and end it there." Dawn smiled.

"Come on Alex." Leo whispered.

"Seems like I'm not the only one having that Synchro Monster now." A voice said behind the Signers.

"Been a while Grieger." Crow smiled.

A tanned man wearing bronze armor along with a boy, and a girl walked over as he smiled "I noticed the Crimson Dragon has appeared for this girl. Who is she?"

"The most amazing girl ever, her name's Alex." Leo grinned.

Alex then called, "Appear the Circuit that connects of the Signers!"

The Circuit appeared.

"Big sis..." Ace started in awe.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning conditions are two monsters at least one is a Tuner! I set Dark Strike Fighter, and Genex Controller at the Link Markers!" Alex called as the two flew to the Bottom-Right, and Bottom-Left Arrows.

"That's going to be impressive." Zarc admitted.

"I play my face-down, Tuner Loss!" Alex called.

"Not a tuner?" Yusei asked in surprise.

"I banish Crystron Quan." Alex said showing the card.

Steam Synchron: (LV: 3 - 1 = 2)

"I end with a face-down." Alex ended.

Dawn 2nd Turn:

"Not bad Alex." Dawn smiled drawing. "Now I'm activating my face-down card!"

"That's good, no Burning Abyss monsters." Leo mentioned.

"Now Farfa's ability activates! Since it was sent 1 monster on the field is banished until the end of this turn!" Dawn cried.

"Oh, that's not good for Alex." Melissa announced.

"I pick Steam Synchron!" Dawn called.

Alex grinned, "Tuner Loss makes him unaffected to your effects!"

"Nice." Yugo smiled.

"Alright Dante attack Needlefiber!" Dawn called as the Xyz charged.

"I activate Crystron Needlefiber's special ability!" Alex called as her Link Monster was banished.

"Huh?" Crow questioned.

"During your main phase or battle phase by removing him from play I can summon a Synchro Tuner Monster from my Extra Deck!" Alex revealed.

"Go Alex!" Leo cheered.

"Level 6 Coral Dragon tune with level 2 Steam Synchron!" Alex declared as Coral Dragon roared turning to 6 Rings while Steam Synchron turned to 2 stars forming in allignment with the rings.

"Her dragon... it's as strong as Mr. Malacoda." Ace whispered.

"It really doesn't look that different." Crow admitted. "I mean it's stronger then Coral Dragon but not all that different."

"Looks aren't everything Crow." Jack told him.

"Okay Alex your dragon is stronger so I'll end with a set card." Dawn ended. "Which means Dante's ability ends so it's attack points return to normal."

She discarded Rosenix.

"So now she can destroy Dawn's set card." Yusei noted.

"Actually Marine Dragon doesn't destroy." Alex smiled. "She instead BANISHES!"

"Banishes?" Zarc asked in shock.

"Dawn! I banish Dante!" Alex called as Dawn watched in shock seeing her monster removed from play.

"Well I'll be, that's a powerful new dragon." Melissa announced.

Dawn grunted before calling, "I activate Barbar's ability!"

"Barbar's the damage one right?" Luna asked.

"Yeah." Ray nodded.

"I banish Rubic, Farfa, Graff!" Dawn called as they dealt damage. (Alex: 1600)

"Wow, they're amazing." Ace said in awe.

"Their your sisters." Lilly smiled to him.

"You are too." Ace smiled hugging her.

"Now Marine Dragon get her!" Alex called as her dragon roared charging as Dawn grunted taking the hit as she cried out landing on her feet looking on. (Dawn: 1050)

"Trap Card open! Drastic Drop Off!" Alex grinned.


Drastic Drop Off

Counter Trap Card

"That forces Dawn to discard either Malacoda or his Ritual Spell." Luna explained amazed.

"Oh." Ace nodded before his eyes widened. "Big sis Dawn loses?"

Dawn grunted as she shows the Ritual Spell before discarding it.

"Looks like the duel's over." Crow mentioned.

"She did it!" Leo cheered happily only for Yugo to whisper something to Yusei who nodded before Yugo ran up to her.

"Alex, we have to go." Yugo told her.

"Huh? Why?" Alex asked confused.

"Rin had to go to the hospital, we need to go make sure she's ok." Yugo answered.

"Mommy? Is she okay!?" Alex asked worried, and shocked.

"I don't know, but we're going to go see her." Yugo answered. "Come on."

Alex nodded as she begin to run out. Yugo ran out with her.


Ulrich362: Oh man... hopefully Rin is ok.

bopdog111: Hopefully Bruno didn't done too much damage.

Ulrich362: Agreed.

bopdog111: That aside Jack, Yuri, and Alex won their matches, and the Crimson Dragon gave Alex a new power.

Ulrich362: A direct upgrade to her dragon, one that gave her the edge she needed to take down her big sister Dawn. Of course, considering who's going to be dueling next things are about to get very hectic in a Master Action Duel.

bopdog111: And who are the opponent's in this one?

Ulrich362: It'll be Riley Akaba going up against Mokuba Kaiba.

bopdog111: The little sister of Declan Akaba vs the little brother of Seto Kaiba.

Ulrich362: It's certain to be an interesting match. See you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
