I don't own anything but the Clockwork Deck and Shadow.
Shadow smirked as he concluded, "I overlay my two level 4 monsters to build the overlay network!" The students from his class chanted, "M39! M39!" Shadow shouted, "Allow me to introduce to you all, my favorite card! Number m39: Clockwork Utopia!" The sounds of clocks ticking is heard and it gets faster and faster as a monster that looked like the mechanical version of Yuma's Utopia appears.
Number m39: Clockwork Utopia
Rank: 4
Attribute: Light
Type: Xyz/Warrior/Effect
ATK: 2500
Yuma's POV:
I could only stare at it and say, "Clockwork Utopia..." Astral reminded me, "Get ready." Shadow shouted, "I now activate Clockwork Utopia's special ability! By using one overlay unit, the monster that was detached isn't sent to my grave. It's actually special summoned to my field! So welcome back Clockwork Knight!" I watched said overlay unit race around the field before forming the gear knight I saw earlier.
Clockwork Knight
Level: 4
Attribute: Earth
Type: Warrior/Effect
ATK: 1800
Shadow concluded, "I end my turn with a face down. Your move."
Third Person POV:
Yuma shouted, "My turn! I draw!" She scanned her cards and continued, "I summon Gagaga Magician!"
Gagaga Magician
Level: 4
Attribute: Dark
Type: Spellcaster/Effect
ATK: 1500
She continued, "I overlay my two level 4 monsters, like you did earlier, to build the overlay network! I Xyz summon, Number 39: Utopia!" Utopia appears as it's Clockwork counterpart stared at it. Yuma shouted, "Go, Utopia! Attack Clockwork Knight!" Shadow shouted, "Not so fast! I activate Clockwork Knight's special ability! It can negate an attack and end the battle phase!" The knight rushed at Utopia as Shadow shouted, "Go, Clockwork Shield!" The knight threw its shield at Utopia, making it stop it's attack. She gritted and concluded, "I end my turn." Shadow complained as he draw a card, "No face down? Lame."
Shadow's POV:
I told her as I scanned my cards, "Hey, be glad that my knight could only use his effect once." I then shouted, "I activate Clockwork Utopia's ability once more, allowing me to special summon Clockwork Horse!" The last overlay unit on my Utopia dashed around and took form into the horse I had earlier.
Clockwork Horse
Level: 4
Attribute: Wind
Type: Beast/Effect
ATK: 700
I then explained, "Now, listen. I don't do this much to anyone, but you're an acceptation. You see, my horse has a special ability. When ever him and his owner are on the field, they can attack you directly!" My knight mounted the horse and charged as I shouted, "Go! Piercing Joust!" They ran up and was at Utopia when she shouted, "I activate my Utopia's special ability! By using both overlay units, both attacks are negated." I grit my teeth. My Clockwork Utopia can't activate it's special ability and with both monsters having the same attack, I can't do anything. Unless... I looked at my face downs and smirked.
Time to get my game on!
Yuma's POV:
I said while being scared, "I don't like the look of that smile." He laughed and said, "That's because it's my intermission before the end of my turn. I activate the continuous spell card, Clock Repair House!" A small house that resembled a workshop appeared as he explained, "Here's how it works. I banish one of my monsters, and they get repaired, along with their abilities. To put it simpler, my horse needs to get it's abilities back!" Clockwork Horse ran into the house and the door slammed shut. Shadow continued, "When it's my turn, I can special summon it back to my field, ready to attack you again! And since your Utopia doesn't have any overlay units, you can't stop the attack!" That means I have 2200 points of damage is coming my way. He concluded, "I end my turn with a face down."
He left knight out in the open. Something's not right. Maybe those face downs are the answer. I draw my card and looked. Double or Nothing... Should've kept an overlay unit. I said, "I set one card face down and have my Utopia attack Clockwork Knight! Go, Rising Sun Slash!" He immediately shouted, "I activate MY Clockwork Utopia's other special ability! When it has no overlay units, Clockwork monsters can't be attacked or be destroyed by card effects." Utopia's attack was stopped and he went back to my field. What a powerful card. I need to do something about it.
If it could summon the monsters that used it for it's summoning, and I can't attack Clockwork monsters when it doesn't have any overlay units... I need to get an overlay unit on it. I then stated, "I end my turn with a face down."
Shadow's POV:
So, she's figured out my weakness. I need to stop it, fast. I shouted, "I draw!" I looked at the cards I have and grinned as I explained, "Due to Clock Repair House, my horse is coming back to his owner!" The horse galloped out of the house and got ready for battle. The knight mounted the horse as I declared, "I now activate my horse's special ability! Now both my horse and knight attack you directly! Go, Piercing Joust!" I watched as the knight and horse attacked her life points directly.
Yuma: 4000=1800
I then said a little disappointed, "The only draw back is that if there's an Xyz monster on my side of the field, they get attached to it after attacking. Not only that, but the Xyz monster can't activate it's effect on the same turn." The two monsters became overlay units again and orbited my Clockwork Utopia. I finished, "I set two cards down and end my turn." I glared and stated, "Your move."
She drew her card. All of a sudden, I saw this weird floating blue-ish white guy appear next to Yuma. They had a conversation of some sort while looking at my field. Must be making a strategy. Common things I see people do when in this situation. She shouted, "I activate the spell, Overlay Reign! This allows me to attach an overlay unit to Utopia!" A small sphere of light orbited Utopia as it looked got ready. They must of planned something. She shouted, "Utopia, attack your Clockwork counterpart!" I stated, "Due to them having the same amount of attack, they will both be destroyed!" She explained, "I use one overlay unit to negate that attack!" The said Utopia's sword vanished as she continued, "I then activate the spell Double or Nothing! This allows Utopia to attack again, with double his attack points!"
Utopia: 2500=5000
Yuma's POV:
He said surprised, "Five thousand attack points?!" I laughed and shouted, "That's right! Now go, Utopia! Rising Sun Slash!" Utopia sliced through his counterpart and destroyed it.
Shadow: 4000=1500
Shadow murmured, "My ace..." He then started laughing and everyone looked at him confused. He explained, "Nobody in my entire school backed me into a corner like this." He gave me a thumbs up and continued, "Great combo, Yuma!" I grinned and replied, "Thanks, but words won't get you any where! Give it your all!" He stated, "You were dueling a tenth of my all, and my school was dueling a hundredth! So I'll just go with it." I ended my turn and he began his.
He then shouted, "I summon Clockwork Exploder!" A bomb with gears and a clock on the front appeared.
Clockwork Exploder
Level: 1
Attribute: Dark
Type: Machine/Effect
ATK/DEF: 0
Zero attack points... He continued, "I now activate it's special ability!" The bomb's clock started ticking as he explained, "I'm not going down without a fight! You see, Clockwork Exploder does what the name implies. It explodes. However, there's a catch. I can't attack or summon any monsters while it's still on the field. On the upside for me, when your turn ends, you take damage to the total amount of attack points on the field! Not only that, but if your Utopia or any other monster attacks, they get destroyed and we both take damage equal to twice the amount of attack points of the attacking monster." I then stated in realizing what's going to happen, "That means..." Shadow nodded and confirmed, "Ether you go down, or we both go down."
Shadow's POV:
This is extreme. I can't wait to see what she'll do- She shouted, "Utopia, attack Exploder!" My eyes widen in surprise, but I just smiled and said as my Exploder began to shake after the attack, "This is actually a nice way to end this duel." Yuma nodded and agreed, "You really need to show me that deck of yours." The bomb exploded.
Third Person POV:
The two duelist flew back as their life points reached zero.
Shadow: 1500=0
Yuma: 1800=0
Draw
Everyone was silent. Then one person started clapping, and soon everyone followed the motion and cheered for the two duelist that started the alliance of two schools. Shadow got up and helped Yuma get up as he stated, "You really need to show your numbers to me." She replied as they shook hands, "Ditto."
Little did everyone know, that this was the beginning of a great adventure that was waiting to be unfold.
