Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V: The HERO of Pendulum
Chapter 8: Rivals Appear
Ladies, Gentlemen, Fic Fans! Present to you all the eighth chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V: The HERO of Pendulum! So the OC's that were requested will be entering the story in this chapter, and my first tag duel in the series. Also Nemo gets to duel with another Zarc counterpart.
Fun Fact: Declan is surprisingly an incredibly good babysitter when it comes to watching his brother, when Yuya asked how he had gotten so good, the gray haired sixteen year old replied "I've had lots of practice." Leading Yuya to ask where, to which he replied. "Dealing with the Lancers".
On with the fic...
Nemo, Sylvio, and Yugo were walking to the Leo duel school, Yuya and Zuzu had decided to let Yugo and Lulu take control for today, so that Lulu could visit her brother and so that Yugo could get some experience of a (semi-)normal lifestyle. The pair had decided to drop by LDS to see how things were progressing there. Well, Nemo and Yugo were, Sylvio was going because a) he had to, he had lessons there, and b) he had run into the other two on the way and insisted on going with them. The Pendulum duelist had then started telling him stories (most likely false ones) about his exploits since the end of the dimensional war. It took all of Nemo's willpower to not have Eiji smack Sylvio to the other side of the city. They entered the building and walked around, passing some of the dueling classes.
"You going to use any of the Extra Deck methods, or just stick with Pendulum?" Inquired Nemo as they walked around.
Sylvio thought for a moment. "I'm considering using Synchro monsters like Yugo and Crow." Replied the obnoxious dueltainer.
"Awesome!" Exclaimed Yugo, "Synchro's are the best monsters! You are a smart person."
"No. He's not. And neither are you." Said Nemo.
"Oi!" Shouted both duelists at once.
"So why Synchro?" Asked Nemo.
"I mean, other than the fact that their the best monsters." Butted in Yugo. Nemo punched him.
"During the war, Crow sacrificed himself to save me from the battle beast, that's probably it." Said Sylvio.
Nemo swore to himself that this (the conversation) all seemed very familiar, but he knew that none of this had happened in the show (except Crow's sacrifice). Suddenly the trio hear a loud rumbling sound. The three exchanged glances of surprise of confusion.
"That was the Action Field area." Said Sylvio. The three duelists then began running towards the stadium.
When they got there they saw four people on the field, with one more off to the side. On the field was Dipper O'rion and Kit Blade, who were both lying on the ground defeated, and Julia Krystal was off to the side shaking her head in disappointment.
The other two people were a boy with dark blue eyes and hair that flow slightly above his chin. His blue shirt cover up by his dark green coat. He also wore dark blue shoes and black socks. dark green shorts have pockets to put his duel disks away (It look like Yuya's pants but it is dark green and shorter). His duel disk is blue in colour but with a green blade.
The other person was a petite girl, with fair skin and brown eyes, and brown-blonde hair that is cut in a messy way making her look like a boy, and dressed in a black t-shirt and a open rainbow trench coat with a large stylized H on the back, and purple shorts and sneakers. And on her right wrist is her duel disk which is purple and resembles a Zexal duel disk but folds like Prof Vipers duel disk from GX.
Sylvio ran up to Julia. "What happened?" Asked the Lancer.
"Dipper got into an argument with the girl, which lead to her friend getting involved, then Kit entered the picture and it kind of spiraled into a tag duel. The boys had an advantage for a while, but the Dipper, stupidly, insulted one of the girls cards. Then the girl decimated him in the next turn. Kit tried to fight back but the boy overpowered him next." Explained Julia.
Nemo and Yugo exchanged a look, then looked at the two duelists. "Nemo." Said Maro, appearing next to his counterpart. Nemo looked towards his Synchro counterpart with a raised eyebrow. "Those two, they're like you." Said the Synchro user.
"They've got counterparts too?" Asked Yugo.
Julia raised an eyebrow at the banana haired boy in front of her. "Who're you talking to Yuya?" Asked the Fusion user in confusion.
"I'm not Yuya! I'm Yugo!" Shouted Yugo.
"You Go? Go where? Wait am I going or are you?" Asked Julia in confusion.
Yugo looked like he was about to explode, but Nemo used his hand to chop the top of Yugo's head before he made a fool of himself. "So these two are strong?" Asked Nemo, gesturing to the mystery duelists.
"Well, they can beat those two morons, but that isn't saying much." Said Julia.
"Well this one is certainly salty. Got to say that I kind of like her." Said Eiji.
"Of course you do." Muttered Nemo under his breath so that Julia couldn't hear him. "Yugo, ya thinking what I'm thinking?" Asked Nemo looking at his friend.
"Why do they call them flea markets if they don't sell fleas?" Asked the Synchro user dumbly.
Nemo rolled his eyes. "How you were able to build a D-Wheel is beyond me, just follow me." Groaned the flame head as he walked to the dueling field. Nemo jumped onto the field once he reached it. "Hey you two!" Called Nemo, attracting the attention of the two victorious duelists. The two of them looked at Nemo and Yugo.
"You need something?" Asked the boy.
"Yeah, can you tell me your names?" Asked the duelist from the real world.
The pair blinked at him in surprise. "Well I'm Yuuta Dragonair, and this is Arabella, or Bella for short, Hyna." Introduced the boy.
Nemo opened his mouth to reply, but paused when a thought struck him. "Wait, Dragonair? Like the Pokémon?" Asked Nemo.
This caused Bella to stiffen as she glanced over at her friend, who's left eye was now violently twitching. "Yes… it is… and what are your names?" Asked the now agitated Yuuta.
"Well I'm sure you recognize Yugo here, he is one of Yuya's counterparts." Said Nemo.
"Is that all that I'm going to be defined as? A counterpart?" Asked Yugo, but was ignored.
"And I'm-" Said Nemo, but then paused, he had just realized that no one here knew his real last name, and it was kinda obvious that this dude's was fake, so who says Nemo can't change his? "Names Nemo, Nemo Draigon (pronounced dr-ay-gon)!" Said Nemo with a smirk as he stuck a thumb at himself.
"Nemo?" Asked Yuuta.
"Yes." Replied Nemo.
"Like the fish?" Asked Yuuta.
"People make fish jokes around mysteriously disappear, never to be heard from again, for some strange reason." Said Nemo with fake cheeriness. Yugo's eyes widened as he took a large step backwards away from Nemo, remembering how he had openly admitted his insanity. Nemo rolled his eyes. "Oh stop," Said Nemo with an annoyed tone, "you're in love with Rin and she hits you on a daily basis." Nemo turned around, ignoring the sound of Yugo choking, and his counterparts laughing at him.
"Uh, if you don't mind me asking, what's with your eyes?" Asked Bella, speaking for the first time.
"...Eh?" Asked Nemo in confusion, looking at his duel disk, using it as a mirror. Nemo's eyes widened at the sight of his eyes. His left was the same as it had been in his old life, blue, but his right eye was a fiery orange color. "How long have my eyes been like this!" Demanded Nemo.
"Uh, for as long as we've known you?" Said Yugo, pausing from telling his counterparts to stop laughing.
Nemo put his hand over his right eye and just stood there thinking. After a moment he removed it and looked at the two duelists that he had just met, taking a deep breath, then letting it out. "Yugo and I challenge you both to a duel!" Exclaimed Nemo pointing at the two that he challenged.
"Wait, what!?" Asked Yugo in surprise. He was ignored.
Yuuta and Bella exchanged a glance, then the pair grinned. "Ok, we're game." Said Bella.
"Great!" Said Nemo.
"Do I have any say in this?" Asked Yugo. He was ignored.
"So what are the rules?" Asked Yuuta.
"Come on!" Shouted Yugo. He was ignored.
"We'll all have 4000 LP, we all draw on our first turn, no one can attack on their first turn, and you can use each other's monsters to Special Summon from the Extra Deck, and we share Graveyard's with our partners." Explained Nemo.
"Seriously!?" Asked Yugo angrily. He was ignored.
"Sounds good." Said Bella.
"Nemo!" Shouted Yugo.
Nemo looked at his friend with an exasperated expression. "Yes Yugo?" He asked.
"Do I get any say in this!?" Demanded the banana banged boy.
"You saying you don't want to duel?" Asked Nemo with a raised eyebrow.
"...Touché." Replied Yugo as he activated his duel disk. "
Wow Yugo, I wasn't aware that you knew such large words." Said Yuri.
"Oh, screw you." Muttered Yugo under his breath. (pardon the language)
Yuri then laughed for a moment before pausing and getting serious. "Don't forget, were by your side in this." Said Yuri as Yuya and Yugo appeared beside him, with smiles on their faces and a thumbs up coming from Yuya. Yugo smiled at his counterparts. Then Nemo and Yuuta activated their disks as well. Bella did a few quick taps on the screen of her disk, most likely typing something, before activating hers as well.
"Field Spell: Crossover!" Said a mechanical voice as the Field Spell activated.
"Duelists locked in battle!" Started Yuuta.
Yugo was quiet for a moment as he received the words from Yuya. "Kicking the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters." Chanted Yugo.
"They storm through this field!" Said Bella.
"Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling! ACTION-" Said Nemo.
"DUEL!" Shouted all four duelists at once.
"I guess I'll take the first, turn!" Shouted Yuuta as he drew his card.
Turn 1: Yuuta/Bella: LP: 4000/4000 Hand: 6/5 Yugo/Nemo: LP: 4000/4000 Hand:5/5.
He took a moment to examine his hand before making his play. He took two cards from his hand and revealed them to the others. "Using Scale 1 Zefraxi, Treasure of the Yang Zing (Level 3, Wyrm / Pendulum / Effect, EARTH, 1500 ATK / 0 DEF), and Scale 7 Zefraniu, Secret of the Yang Zing (Level 6, Wyrm / Pendulum / Effect, EARTH, 0 ATK / 2600 DEF), I set the Pendulum Scale!" Declared the apparent Pendulum user as he placed his cards in their respective scales. The two monsters appeared inside large pillars of light as they had a large 1 and 7 beneath them. "With this I can simultaneously Summon Level one to six monsters, so I'll Pendulum Summon! Come forth, Level 4: Suanni, Fire of the Yang Zing (Level 4, Wyrm / Effect, FIRE, 1900 ATK / 0 DEF), Level 3: Bi'an, Earth of the Yang Zing (Level 3, Wyrm / Effect, EARTH, 1600 ATK / 0 DEF), and Level 2: Jiaotu, Darkness of the Yang Zing (Level 2, Wyrm / Tuner / Effect, DARK, 0 ATK / 2000 DEF)!" Declared Yuuta as his three monsters too the field, all in DEF mode. "Next I set a face-down and end my turn." Said Yuuta as he set his card on the field.
"Then I'm up, I draw!" Said Yugo as he began his turn.
Turn 2: Yuuta/Bella: LP: 4000/4000 Hand: 0/5 Yugo/Nemo: LP: 4000/4000 Hand:6/5.
He saw the cards in his hand, then looked at his counterparts. Yuya smiled at him widely. Yugo smiled at him and nodded his head. "Using Scale 2 Speedroid Marchindrum (Level 5, Machine / Effect, WIND, 700 ATK / 1500 DEF), and Scale 5 Speedroid Dracoflute (Level 1, Machine / Tuner / Effect, WIND, 1500 ATK / 700 DEF), I set the Pendulum Scale!" Said the Synchro user as he put his cards on his disk. The two monsters appeared inside large pillars of light as they had a large 2 and 5 beneath them. "With this I can simultaneously Summon Level 3 and 4 monsters, so I'll do just that! I Pendulum Summon! Take to the field, Level 3 Speedroid X-Die-Z (Level 3, Machine / Pendulum / Tuner / Effect, WIND, 1400 ATK / 900 DEF), and Level 4 Speedroid Yoyugoyo (Level 4, Machine / Effect, WIND, 900 ATK / 1400 DEF)!" Said Yugo as his monsters appeared on the field. "Next, Level 3 Speedroid X-Die-Z tunes Level 4 Speedroid Yoyugoyo," Said Yugo, as the Tuner monster became three green rings of energy and the yoyo became four stars that flew in between the rings. "Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings, and strike down your enemies at the speed of light!" Chanted Yugo. "Synchro Summon! Level 7: Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (Level 7, Dragon / Synchro / Effect, WIND, 2500 ATK / 2000 DEF)!"
Clear Wing roared as it took to the field. Yugo smiled at the sight of his old friend. "Yugo!" Said Nemo, calling the attention of the Synchro user. Yugo's head whipped around to look at him. "Get on Clear Wing and start looking for Action Spells we might need them in the future." Said Nemo.
Yugo nodded his head and then took a running jump on to his dragons back, which took off in order for them to begin searching. "I set a face-down and end my turn!" Shouted Yugo as he set a card and ended his turn.
"Then I guess I'm up! I draw!" Said Bella as she drew her card.
Turn 3: Yuuta/Bella: LP: 4000/4000 Hand: 0/6 Yugo/Nemo: LP: 4000/4000 Hand:1/5.
She observed her hand. "I play Polymerization, fusing Neos (Elemental HERO Neos: Level 7, Warrior, LIGHT, 2500 ATK / 2000 DEF) with Blades (Elemental HERO Bladedge: Level 7, Warrior / Effect, EARTH, 2600 ATK / 1800 DEF)!" Said Bella as .
"Blades?" Asked Nemo in confusion.
"She nicknamed most of her monsters." Explained Yuuta.
"Oh, neat." Said Nemo.
The two warriors appeared and flew into the air, as they disappeared into a swirling vortex. "HEROs of the elements, merge your souls together so that a new power can be born," Chanted Bella, "Fusion Summon! Come forth, Level 7 Elemental HERO Neos Knight! (Level 7, Warrior / Fusion / Effect, LIGHT, 2500 ATK / 1000 DEF)" The Elemental HERO appeared from the vortex, with his trusty shield and sword at the ready.
"Elemental HERO!?" Exclaimed Yugo in surprise, from where he was on Clear Wing.
"The Elemental HEROs were the original HERO archetype," Said Nemo, then with a smirk he said, "which makes this duel so more interesting."
Then something amazing happened. The Neos Knight spoke. "Are you ready to take these guys down Blades?" Asked Neos Knight using Neos's voice. "You better believe I am." Said Neos Knight, this time using what must've been Blades' voice.
Nemo and Yugo stared at the monster in shock, Yugo having stopped flying so that he could properly watch. "Uh, what's happening? Why is that monster having a conversation with himself while using different voices?!" Asked Yugo, his voice raising slightly with each word.
Bella and Yuuta blinked in surprise. "Y-you can understand them?" Asked Bella in surprise.
Nemo nodded. "We both can, but what I don't get is what is going on with your monster." Said the flame head.
"There is something special about Bella's Fusion Monsters." Explained Yuuta.
"When most Fusion Monsters are Summoned, their former personas are more or less discarded, being replaced with that of the new monster's. But with mine, the minds of the materials required to summon my monsters remain in tact, it's kinda like Steven Universe." Explained Bella.
"Never watched that show." Said Nemo.
Bella and Yuuta sweat dropped and laughed nervously at that. "Anyway, due to Neos Knight's effect, he gains half of the ATK of the monster that fused with Neos, which was 1300 from Blades, raising his ATK to 3800." Explained Bella as the ATK of her monster rose. Next, I'll set a monster, and throw down two face-downs, then I'll end my turn." Said Bella. Nemo nodded.
"Well then, I draw!" Shouted Nemo as he drew his card.
Sorry for the slightly late post people. I somehow got a cold and have been spending most of my days sleeping. So someone posted a review the other day (actually that person is the owner of one the OCs, but I forgot which one (give me a break, I'm sick and can barely think straight)) and they said that they thought Riley was a girl. To respond: Truthfully, I have no idea on Riley's gender, so for now I'm just going to stick with boy until I am proven otherwise, I'm not being rude or stubborn, I'm just sticking with this because I'm not sure. With that out of the way, I need to get out of here, so until next time fic fans, Nemon0416 is outta here!
