The young Shuroi declaring Parasite Caterpillar to attack, but the evil duelist played the Trap: Card of Deadly Destruction. The Trap allows to force Shuroi discards ten cards on his Deck. Shuroi became shocked that his Deck was empty which he lost the Duel and the evil Duelist laughs in maniac. Shuroi wake up with a gasp in the night and see his friends are still sleeping.

"Oh man, a nightmare..." said Shuroi.

In the next day, Yuzu and her friends are study about the legendary Duelists in the past and Sergeant G walks around to explain.

"Now students, we already learned about the Duelist of Legends which they dueled our world's fearsome enemies in the past."

G stands towards his students to show the past Duelists photos that they never met.

"Yugi Muto and his companion ancestor spirit; Pharaoh Atem who dueled against Pegasus the creator of Duel Monsters, Marik who has his evil half inside of his heart, Noah; Gozuburo's actual son, Dartz the sage who was used by the menace Orichalcos, and finally... Zorc the Dark One who battle Atem in centuries ago.

Yusei Fudo, the Turbo Duelist that he beats Goodwin and the Iliaster's Four Stars such as Z-one. And finally, Yuma Tsukumo the brave Duelist that defeat the evil Don Thousand who used Reginald Kastle in his Barian alias; Nash. All four legendary duelists which they passed down to our humanity."

G holding the Mechanibeast Kujatron Pendulum card.

"While the legendary duelists passed on to ours, we create the new summoning method: Pendulum Summon! With this method, we can summon many monsters as you want."

Yuzu staring at the four legendary duelists with a smile.

"Wow, Yugi, Jaden, Yusei and Yuma... I wish that I meet them."

While Yuzu dreaming about the legendary duelists, G shouts at her.

"You! Darn Silly Dragon Girl!"

Yuzu see the teacher G and view up to an displeased G.

"How about you do not! The legendary duelists passed away in the unknown reasons. With the death of the legendary duelists, you will become the Duelist of Legends! That is why we entering the Spring Duel Tournament in four months!"

The students became surprised about Spring Duel Tournament.

"Spring Duel Tournament?" Uria student said.

"In four months?!" Hamon student said.

G pointed out towards to the students.

"But,.. You! If you fail the Dueling Exams..."

G's face turned red, meaning "Rage Mode".

"YOU BE EXPELLED FOR A PENALITY!" He yells in rage.

The students became shocked with the comical expression.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeh~?!"

Shuroi and Ichigo become very surprised.

"We... going to expelled?!" said Shuroi.

Ichigo grips his hand.

"Damn! This going to be a tough exam!"

Yuzu see the legendary duelists, hoping that she will surpress them with her Deck.

"Geez... But I will excited, then I surpassing Yugi and the legends! With my Deck, I'll take you on to the next level!

In the night, Yuzu and the others sleeps in Uria Dorm. Once, Yuzu has a dream about her Dueling against the dark being who looks like her and tell her to who is she.

"Huh? Wait, who are you?!"

Yuzu Black evilly smiles and performs the summoning method that was never exist.

"Link Summon!"

The shadowy light explodes on both Yuzu and her evil counterpart before she woke up. She see her Deck with a serious looks.

"Whoa, what a bad dream..."

Yuzu questions herself that the evil Yuzu said to Link Summon.

"What is Link Summon... I'm never seen that summoning method before..."

Suddenly, Yuzu heard Shuroi's grunts and see him in his bed that he is dreaming about the evil duelist.

"No! Don't!" Shuroi grunts.

"Shuroi? Are you..."

With the brink of the eye, her card Dragocian-Eyes Lady glows.

"Dragocian-Eyes... Are you telling me that..."

Before questioning her card, the glows became brighter which Yuzu sent to Shuroi's dream.

In Shuroi's dream, Shuroi encounters the same evil duelist that he beat him in the young age. Shuroi become so scared at the evil duelist before Yuzu appeared as Shuroi see her in shocks.

"Yuzu?!"

"Shuroi?!"

The evil duelist see Yuzu Boyle as she saw the evil duelist and asked the evil duelist to who.

"Who are you?!" Yuzu questions.

The evil duelist revealed itself as the more resembles of Trueman from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.

"I am your worst nightmare! Night-mare!" Night-mare answered.

Shuroi became surprised.

"Night-mare?!"

Night-mare used his dark force to trap Yuzu in the black foggy cage.

"What the... hey! Let me out!" Yuzu asked.

Night-mare smirks at Yuzu.

"Hmph. I like the joining with your friend, but this is you and me Shuroi."

Yuzu shocked about Shuroi's standalone Dueling.

"Huh?! Wait, are you going to duel against..."

Night-mare pointing at Shuroi.

"Exactly! I'm dueling Shuroi Otonashi, the boy was crying like a child."

"Oh no... not again!" Shuroi shouted.

"Shuroi..." Yuzu mumbles.

At the seconds, her Dragocian-Eyes Lady card glows in Yuzu's Deck.

"Huh? Dragocian-Eyes..."

The card glows and flashing beam on Shuroi's Insect Deck.

"Wha... Hey! What's happened to my Deck?" Shuroi noticed as he pick up his Deck.

Night-mare became little shocked at Shuroi's Insect Deck.

"What the heck is this?!" Night-mare questions.

Shuroi's Insect Deck glows in green bright, evolving several cards into Pendulum cards including monsters are evolved into their new forms. Shuroi became amazed by his Deck is "reborn".

"Whoa, my Deck is... reborn." Shuroi said in amazed.

Though Night-mare see Shuroi's "reborn" Deck, he smirks at Shuroi that he wants to duel him.

"Ha. No matter how your "reborn" Deck you are, but there is still no match for my Deadly Card Destruction Deck!" Night-mare laughed.

Yuzu became concerned in shocks that Night-mare's Deck.

"The Deadly Card Destruction?! That's a Deck who used to discard the opponent's cards to win the Duel! What a very dangerous Deck!"

Yuzu see her Dragocian-Eyes card.

"Thanks Lady... you helping Shuroi's Deck to gain new strength in order stop this guy." Yuzu said.

"I'm activate the Spell: Insect Evolution Cocoon! With this card, I'm allow to evolve my Level 2 to 4 Insect monster in order to Special Summon the Level 5 to 6 "Insectlve" monster with a "Chrysalis" or "Cocoon" name from my Deck!

Shuroi see the card that he destroys his old Deck.

"Hrah, the End Discard! That's a combo of End Discard and Violent Zero to destroy my old Deck!"

Night-mare laughed like a manic.

"Yes! The two cards can destroy you! And your soul... will be mine! My Turn is Done with a facedown card." Night-mare proclaimed.

Yuzu see in very serious tone that Night-mare is using End Discard and Violent Zero combo and she explains the two cards.

"End Discard and Violent Zero combo... "Zero End"! End Discard forcing Shuroi to discard any numbers of top cards that the same Level as he summon the Monster. And Violent Zero is the fatal Continous Trap Card... to discard seven top cards that Shuroi enters the Standby Phase. The two cards are both Continous Cards, very powerful and very rare... but they are forbidden that is why Duelists have End Discard and Violent Zero and must used just one card in the official tournaments."

With Shuroi need to find a way to break Zero End combo and Yuzu encourage him to don't lose.

"Don't lose, Shuroi..." Yuzu mumbles.

Shuroi declaring his turn and draw a card.

"It's my move then!" Shuroi draw a card, revealing Grave in the Deck Buried.

Before Shuroi used Grave in the Deck Buried, Night-mare activates the Continous Trap Violent Zero to discard seven top cards from his Deck to his GY.

"I'm activating the Continous Trap: Violent Zero! Now you have to discard seven cards from your Deck to your Graveyard during your Standby Phase. Fwahahahahaha!" Night-mare laughed.

Shuroi gritten his teeth nervously again and he discards seven top cards to his GY. Now Shuroi's Deck numbers is 24 which Yuzu begin to serious hard workout.

"You may take away my cards, but I activate Insectlve Chrysalis's effect! By sending her to my GY during my next turn, I'm allow to Special Summon Level 7 Insectlve Fusion monster from my Extra Deck. Emerge, Insectlve Motharch LV7!

Insectlve Chrysalis turned black before emerges into an monarch butterfly-like Mothra, then spreads out her wings with pink scents and pollens.

Shuroi's monsters: Insectlve Motharch LV7 (LV7/Fusion/ATK:2800)

Night-mare see in amused while Yuzu see in amazed.

"So, this is your ace monster, Shuroi. But have you forgotten... End Discard allows you discard your top cards that you summon that moth. Motharch is Level 7, which means you have to discard seven!"

Shuroi unwillingly discards seven top cards which means his Deck has 18 cards left before he going to use the Spell that he drew.

"I will pay for get rid if my cards, I'm activate Grave in the Deck Buried! That is my own Continous Spell card, it allows to Special Summon one monster from my GY!" Shuroi declaring his Continous Spell Card.

"Time for my victory, Parasite Caterpillar!"

The Spell summoning Parasite Caterpillar from the GY. The Parasite Caterpillar's appearance is the same monster of Weevil's monster, but has a different effect.

"Hmm, what's that little thing do?" Night-mare asked.

"Parasite Caterpillar's ability allows to parasiting any monster cards that you just played or on your GY."

Night-mare seem to be little surprise.

"Parasite, do your thing!" Shuroi declared.

Parasite Caterpillar jumps into Night-mare's GY and forcibly summons Dark One Stealer then attaches him on his back and used its silk on both of them. Night-mare became shocked.

"My Dark One Stealer! Your Parasite Caterpillar attaching my Stealer, how?!"

"By Special Summon your monster, Parasite Caterpillar has a Cocoon Counter which your monster will be removed from play after he has three or more Cocoon Counters during my Standby Phase, then I Special Summon Level 7 monster from my Extra Deck. I'll end my turn."

Yuzu smiles at Shuroi that he used his Parasite Caterpillar to Special Summon.

"Nice one, Shuroi!" Yuzu smiles.

Night-mare, however, smirks at Shuroi.

"Hmmm, you are a naive than you are."

Before Night-mare draw a card in his Turn, Shuroi looking his Duel Disk's GY Zone then activates Skip Hopper's Quick Effect.

"Quite not, I'm activate Skip Hopper's Quick Effect! Before you entering your Draw Phase, your Turn is skipped!"

Night-mare became very surprised while Yuzu smiles in light tone.

"My move then!"

Shuroi draws a card, revealing Black Star Beetle as Shuroi see his card that was the key for victory.

"Have you forgotten. Violent Zero's effect activation that you force to discard seven cards during your Standby Phase."

Shuroi discards seven cards, now he has 10 cards left on his Deck.

"Well my Parasite gains the Second Cocoon Counter!"

Shuroi H: 3/Deck:10

Yuzu see Shuroi that he has more potential than that he looks. Suddenly, Dragocian-Eyes card glows.

"Huh? My Dragocian-Eyes?"

Shuroi declaring the effect of Black Star Beetle.

"Not sure just quite yet, Black Star Beetle negates Trap Card's activation!"

The Black Star Beetle protects his Deck from End Discard's activation.

Night-mare became shocked that End Discard was negated.

"Argh. You may negate End Discard, but my Violent Zero has another effect. By banishing End Discard and Violent Zero, I Special Summon the Negative Level 9 Dark Chaos of Mist from my Deck!" Night-mare declares to summon the Negative Level monster.

The darkness flows down into the ground, revealing the black creature with the gray mist appeared.

Night-mare's monster: Dark Chaos of Mist (LV-9/ATK:?)

Yuzu and Shuroi became shocked at Night-mare summoning the Negative Level monster.

"That's... the Negative Level monster Burnan talking about! Night-mare must be working for someone!" Yuzu confirms in serious.

Night-mare declaring Dark Chaos of Mist's effect.

"I'm activate my Dark Chaos of Mist's Quick Effect, I can Dark Synchro Summon with Dark One Stealer without having a Tuner monster during your turn."

Yuzu became seriously shocked while Shuroi became shocked that Dark One Stealer and Dark Chaos of Mist tuning.

"You what?! Dark Synchro Summon?!" Shuroi said in shocks.

An silked Dark One Stealer breaks free, and Parasite Caterpillar was destroyed then jumps on to Dark Chaos of Mist.

"Behold, I dark tune my Level 2 Dark One Stealer and Negative Level 9 Dark Chaos of Mist! Witness my creation of darkness that devours everything!"

Dark One Stealer became two light spores while Dark Chaos became nine dark energy rings. The light spores shatters two dark energy rings, making the total of seven dark energy rings. The seven dark energy rings creating the dark monster while Night-mare chants his dark monster.

"Darkness reigns over the skies, create the darkness that devours the light to destroy! I Dark Synchro Summon, The Negative Level 7 Dark Necrom!

Shuroi see in shocks that Night-mare summons the Dark Synchro Monster.

"An Dark Synchro Monster?! No way!"

Yuzu see the Dark Synchro Monster that Shuroi wasn't able to defeat the Dark Synchro Monster.

"Shuroi will never beat that monster!"

Night-mare laughs in maniacally.

"Your monsters will no match for my Dark Synchro Monster! Dark Necrom cannot be destroyed in battle or by card effect. And this dark monster's ability will take damage on you equal to your monster ATK points that destroyed."

Yuzu's eyes wide in shocks.

"Oh no! Shuroi is going to get beaten by Dark Synchro Monster!"

Night-mare pointed to Shuroi.

"My dark creature destroy you in your Turn. Hwahahahahaha!"

Shuroi, at first scared, then he became little serious.

"You may be right, but my Deck has a feelings for me. I have friends... including Yuzu and Ichigo. Which is why..."

His Extra Deck on his Duel Disk begin to glow.

"I gonna win this Duel by overcome your Deadly Card Destruction Deck!"

Yuzu's ace card glows brighter than Fiona Truesdale Duel then pick her card up.

"Insectlve Monarch Queen?! That's amazing!"

Shuroi is now ready to chant his Synchro Monster.

"Evolve by shedding its skin, emerge from the chrysalis that you become!"

The sihouette being was summoned on Synchro Summoning in fiery illusion form, making Yuzu became surprised.

"What is that?!"

"That's impossible!" Night-mare yells in shock.

The sihouette flews towards to the Synchro Summon rings.

"I Synchro Summon... the Insect Level 8 Synchro Monster: Insectlve Monarch Queen!"

Shuroi's monsters: Insectlve Monarch Queen (LV8/Synchro/Pendulum/ATK:33000)

Night-mare became extremely shocked at Monarch Queen's ATK points.

"She... has 33000 ATK points!"

Shuroi facing towards to Night-mare that he conquers his fear.

"With your dark monster's effect was no longer used, I'll fight against my fear! Go Monarch Queen! Show me your hope! Blazing Tsunami!"

"Huh? Are we back..."

Shuroi see the window and it was already morning.

"Oh my gosh! That's already morning! Oh man, everyone are going to wake up in the morning!"

While Shuroi panicked about the morning, Yuzu at first smile then became serious about Night-mare's last breath.

"Man, Shuroi got a panic. But still, I'm feared that Night-mare has a leader... It is the same girl who looks like me that she trying to destroy me. I have a feeling that version of me is using the new kind of Summon method... A Link Summon!"

Yuzu looked up to the ceiling, then the sky. Meanwhile, somewhere in the Duel Academy, Dextra messaging Yuzu Black that Night-mare was defeated.

"My Master... Night-mare has been exterminated by the boy who possessing the Pendulum Persona."
