Chapter 2 - A Mobian Ally
After seeing enough, Aero ran off the roof and hid beside a tree that was near the Entrance of the Arena. He then wore his goggles and stared at the Entrance, waiting for Yuya or any of his friends to appear. "So we just stand here and watch?" Scrap King crossed his arms and stared at the Entrance along with Aero. 'Well it's all we can do at the moment. Remember, we can't be seen and we have no idea where Yuya is going'.
Scrap King unfolded his arms. "I guess so. But do you know what his friends look like?" Aero nodded his head and answered, 'No idea, but I would guess that they would mention Yuya's name or where he duels'. Scrap King nodded, understanding Aero's plan. It was the only plan they had without getting caught. As they were watching people walking by, most of them had smiles on their faces, but he then saw a group of people talking about Yuya.
One was a girl with pink hair in ponytails, one was wearing a white samurai suit with a red headband across his head, one was a man wearing a sports kit with a red flame design and lastly a woman who had blonde hair. The blonde-haired woman said to the others, "I got to go home and feed the pets, tell Yuya I'll see him at home". The woman walked away from the group with everyone waving at her.
The girl in ponytails said to the others, "Ok, let's go to You Show Duel School before the place is swarmed". The man in the sportswear nodded and added, "Indeed I must install the new Action Duel System, before your duel with Yuya". The group started to run and both Aero and Scrap King watched them leave. 'You Show Duel School? Let's go find it, Scrap!' Scrap King nodded and disappeared back into the card, knowing that he was going to use his super speed. Without heistation, Aero ran in the direction the group was going, but was on top of buildings to avoid detection. He jumped from roof to roof looking and eventually found a lone building with the words, 'You Show Duel School' in orange letters.
'I guess this is it, but... how do I get inside?' As he looked for a passage inside, he noticed a lot of people coming towards the building. Aero could tell that some of them were some of the fans that left the Arena, there was no doubt that they wanted to see Yuya's Pendulum Summon. 'Wait a sec, I could just teleport inside!' Aero went closer and looked through the front window, as he got a good look of the inside, Aero summoned his Sword of Chaos and said, "Chaos Control!" In a flash, Aero disappeared and reappeared inside.
"Yes! I'm in! Now I need a place to hide until the duel starts..." Aero had a walk around and explored the rooms, the biggest room he saw was the Duel Field, which was a lot smaller to the Arena he was in before. The other three rooms were a Classroom, a Gym and a Break Room, holding some trophies. Aero entered the Break Room and examined the trophies in the glass cabinet. Some of them were small enough to fit Aero's hand around them, but the rest were quite big. Aero looked at the biggest trophy and read the text, it said, 'Awarded to Yusho Sakaki, Duel Monsters Champion'.
"This must be the trophies Yuya's Father had won... I'm definately in the right place, but the question is what happened to him?" That was then that Aero heard a door opening, with this reaction, Aero went to the only safe place he knew, the roof. Using his speed, Aero found the stairs and opened the door to the roof, as he shut the door behind him, Aero made a sigh of relief. "That... was close". Scrap King looked at Aero as he was kneeling on the chicken wire fencing, Aero looked at Scrap King. "Now we just wait for Yuya and the others to come... did you have a look around yourself, Scrap?"
Scrap King nodded with a smile. "Yeah I did. Nice place isn't it?" Aero agreed to that answer. "Not bad. At least it's cleaner than the Slifer Red Dorms and that Duel Field looked nice too". Aero stretched his arms up in the air and was now waiting for everyone to come back, it was awkward for the both of them since they weren't talking much after that. But after what seemed like an hour, (but it was only 30 minutes) Aero heard a voice, a familiar girl's voice. "Of course you can see the Pendulum Summon, but you have to sign up as a student if you want to see it!"
Aero was curious as to who was saying that as he went closer and he noticed it was the girl with pink hair from before. Everyone was putting up their hands up as they were desperate to see Yuya's new summoning method. Aero looked determined as he knew the duel would begin shortly, so he opened the door and made his way downstairs with his goggles on. As he got close to one of the doors to the Duel Field, he was listening to the voices inside, but did not open the door. "Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to my One Man Show!" But the pink-haired girl used a paper fan and whacked Yuya hard on the head.
"What are you doing Yuya? You need to concentrate!" Aero then decided that this was getting nowhere, so he opened the door and walked in, ignoring the stares. Looking at the other people, Aero decided not to say anything as he didn't want anybody freaking out. When Aero was standing in the perfect spot to duel, Yuya asked, "W-who are you? What are you?" Aero didn't ask Yuya's question, but he got his duel disk ready. "Wait, y-you want to duel me?" Yuya asked as he pointed to himself.
Aero slightly nodded 'yes' to respond to Yuya's question, but Yuya was having a hard time understanding how a creature like Aero can duel. It was then a Field Spell was activated as both Aero and Yuya found themselves in a grass plain, it was the Field Spell, Plain Plain. Aero was looking around in wonder as Yuya looked questionably at Aero, wondering how this creature would duel. Yuya snapped out of it as he said the Action Duel oath. "Duelists locked into battle! Kicking against the Earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters! They storm through this field! Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution in dueling! Action DUEL!" The Action Cards skattered around the Plain Plain field.
Aero - 4000
Yuya - 4000
Yuya's Turn
Yuya smiled at his hand and announced, "I'll go first! I summon Performapal Hip Hippo!" A familiar pink hippo showed itself to the field.
Performapal Hip Hippo - ATK 800 DEF 800 LV3 Beast / Effect - EARTH
This card can be treated as 2 Tributes for a Tribute Summon.
"Players who go first can't attack on their first turn! I end my turn!" Yuya jumped onto the Hippo's back and was running to find Action Cards. Aero smiled at this and drew his card to start his turn.
Aero's Turn
Aero drew the Mobian, Jet. His hand contains Eggman Plan 2, Eggman Plan 6, Charmy, Power Ring and Bonus Ring. Aero looked at Jet and immediately summoned him to the field in attack mode.
Jet - ATK 900 DEF 1300 LV3 Winged-Beast / Effect - WIND
This card is treated as a Mobian-Type Monster. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, this card gains 2 Speed Counters. Once per turn during either player's turn, you can remove 1 Speed Counter to target 1 face-up monster on the field; change that target to face-down Defence Position.
Aero looked at Jet and spoke to him thoughtfully, 'Okay Jet, time to use your ability on Hip Hippo'. Jet looked at Aero, he nodded and obeyed him. Jet used his board to get close to Hippo and waved his board to blow some wind onto Hippo, Hippo disappeared, but his card was now face-down and as this happened, Yuya fell off and tumbled forward. "W-what did you do? Where did Hippo go?" Aero pointed at the face-down card at where Hippo was, but he then showed his arm at Jet and Jet attacked the face-down monster with his board. Yuya was reacting to this as he found a nearby Action Card. "Action Magic, Avoid!"
Avoid - Action Spell
Target 1 attacking monster on the field; negate that monster's attack.
Jet missed his attack as part of the card's effect. Aero grabbed the two trap cards from his hand and placed them face-down.
Yuya's Turn
Yuya studied his opponent as he saw the two face-downs that he placed down, Yuya was quite amazed that this creature could duel. Yuya was about to draw his card, but he heard an encore from the Audience, they were chanting, "Pendulum! Pendulum! Pendulum!" They continued chanting and Yuya drew his card, he smiled at it as it was Timegazer Magician. 'It's here! But I can't remember how I did it... I did watch the duel earlier...' Yuya grabbed Timegazer Magician and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon from his hand and held them for everyone to see.
"I set the Pendulum Scale with the Scale 4 Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and the Scale 8 Timegazer Magician, setting the Pendulum Scale!" Like in the previous duel, the monsters were on each end of the duel disk and two blue beams were on either side of Yuya. But instead of the two Magicians he had before, one was Timegazer with a 8 below it, while the other was Odd-Eyes with a 4 below it. The crowd were chanting louder as they saw this, as they cheered for Yuya. "Pendulum! Pendulum! Pendulum!"
Timegazer Magician - ATK 1200 DEF 600 LV3 Sc8 Spellcaster / Pendulum / Effect - DARK
Pendulum Effect: Once per turn, during either player's turn, when a Trap Card that targets exactly 1 Pendulum Monster you control (and no other cards) is activated: You can negate the activation, then Set that card face-down instead of sending it to the Graveyard.
Monster Effect: Once per turn, during either player's turn, when a Spell/Trap Card that targets a card(s) in your Pendulum Zone is activated: You can negate that effect.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon - ATK 2500 DEF 2000 LV7 Sc4 Dragon / Pendulum / Effect - DARK
Pendulum Effect: Once per turn, you can reduce the battle damage you take from a battle involving a Pendulum Monster you control to 0.
Monster Effect: If this card battles an opponent's Level 5 or higher monster, any Battle Damage this card inflicts to your opponent is doubled.
Yuya was watching them as they kept chanting, 'Pendulum'. "Let's go! I summon out my monsters!" Everyone was watching in silence as they awaited for the monsters to be summoned. But those monsters were never summoned, as there was a message on Yuya's duel disk saying 'Error'. "What's going on? Sword Fish, Whip Snake, go out like a bang like you did before!" Yuya tried to place the two monsters on his duel disk, but it kept saying 'Error'. "Why aren't they summoned? I put the Pendulum Cards in the right place!"
Aero looked at the two Pendulum Monsters as he noticed something off. Before, Yuya had Timegazer and Stargazer Magician in the Pendulum Scales, but he saw Odd-Eyes with a 4 below it. Aero then recalled what Yuya explained when he first Pendulum Summoned...
Flashback
"I set the Pendulum Scale with the Scale 8 Timegazer Magician and the Scale 1 Stargazer Magician! Setting the Pendulum Scale!" Yuya placed the two Magicians on each end of his duel disk and the word 'PENDULUM' was shown between them. Then two blue beams of light were shown and in the beams were the two magicians, they flew up until they stopped and a number was shown below them. Timegazer had a 8 and Stargazer had a 1.
"With this, I'm able to summon monsters between level 2 to 7 at the same time!" Yuya continued on. "Swing, Pendulum of Souls! Draw an arc of light on the skies! Pendulum Summon! Come forth my monsters!" A beautiful scene was unfolding, in the middle of the two Magicians was a spiral which was where three coloured beams came out of. One was light blue, one lime green and lastly red, the beams showed three different monsters. "Performapal Whip Snake! Performapal Sword Fish! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
Present
'That's it! He's got the scale wrong! That's why it doesn't work...' Yuya was looking down at his duel disk as he too was trying to remember what happened before. 'C'mon brain, think... when I did it last time... well... Ishijima got rid of my Odd-Eyes, then I was in a pinch of trouble...' Yuya then realised something as he added in his mind, 'That's right, a pinch! I guess it only happens in a tight situation... that's classic!' Yuya then smiled, as he knew what to do. "And with that, I end my turn. Now I don't know who or what you are, but I want you to attack me!"
Aero's Turn
Aero titled his head in confusion as he wondered what Yuya was planning. "I don't want you to hold anything back, give it everythng you got!" After hearing this, Aero smiled and drew his next card, he drew Elemental Hero Mobian, Scrap King. 'Scrap King! Wanna join the party?' Scrap King's voice echoed in Roxas' mind as he replied, "Sure thing! Bring it on!" Aero wasted no time as he summoned Scrap King straight away.
Elemental Hero Mobian Scrap King - ATK 1500 DEF 1000 LV4 Warrior / Effect - WIND
This card is treated as a Mobian-Type Monster. This card can be Special Summoned from your hand if you have a Mobian-Type monster on the field. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, this card gains 1 Speed Counter. Once per turn, you can remove 1 Speed Counter on this card, if you do, you can Special Summon 1 "Mobian" monster from your hand, Deck or Graveyard that has a WIND Attribute. This card gains ATK and DEF equal to the total number of 'Mobian' monsters x 400 (Not including this card).
As Scrap King showed himself, he activated his ability immediately and summoned Tails beside him.
Tails - ATK 1000 DEF 300 LV4 Beast / Effect - WIND
This card is treated as a Mobian-Type Monster. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, this card gains 1 Speed Counter. Once per turn, you can remove 1 Speed Counter on Tails; when you do, you can Special Summon 1 "Mobian" Monster from your hand, Deck or Graveyard. If you Special Summoned from the Deck, this card cannot declare an attack.
Scrap King whispered to Tails as he didn't want to be heard by anyone. "You've got to activate your ability, to summon Sonic out. We need to finish this duel". Tails understood and used his ability to bring Sonic in the battle, Sonic was then summoned as he looked at his opponent with a small smirk.
Sonic - ATK 2500 DEF 1500 LV7 Beast / Effect - EARTH
This card is treated as a Mobian-Type Monster. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, this card gains 2 Speed Counters. Once per turn, you can remove 1 Speed Counter on Sonic; when you do, you can destroy 1 card on your opponent's side of the field. If you destroy a Monster that has more ATK than Sonic, this card cannot declare an attack. If this card was Special Summoned by the effect of "Super Sonic", this card's ATK becomes 0 until your next Standby Phase.
'Now Yuya, I hope you're ready, 'cause here I come!' Aero looked at Jet and pointed at the face-down Hip Hippo, like before, Jet used his board to attack the card, it was then destroyed.
Sonic - 2SC
Scrap King - 0SC
Tails - 0SC
Jet - 1SC
Aero then looked at Sonic, then pointed at Yuya. Sonic used his spin dash and hit Yuya on his chest, Yuya fell back from the attack, but he got up easily and said, "Bring it!" The crowds were cheering as they were awaiting the Pendulum Summon, but Roxas told Scrap King, 'Time to get him Scrap! Attack with Cosmic Slash!' Scrap King prepared his sword as he was about to slash at Yuya and Yuya now thought that it was the perfect time to do a Pendulum Summon. "Okay, now I'm in trouble. Now I Pendulum Summon!" Yuya tried to Pendulum Summon Whip Snake and Sword Fish, but like before, an 'Error' showed on the duel disk. Yuya was sent back from the attack as he hit one of the trees behind him.
Yuya - 0
Aero - 4000
Everyone was silent, as they were shocked about not seeing a Pendulum Summon. Aero using his speed so that no one would see it, grabbed a notebook from the break room. With the pen that was with the notepad, Aero wrote down a message and rip the paper out to give to Yuya. Aero put away the notepad and walked closer to Yuya, Yuya was rubbing his back a little, but he looked up and saw Aero. "Who are you?" Aero said nothing, but he gave the note to Yuya and walked away. Yuya watched Aero as he left the Duel Field and closed the door behind him, but he looked at the note Aero gave him. It read:
Meet me on the roof in 15 minutes. Just you, we need to talk.
Yuya looked a little confused at the note, but he got up and the pink-haired girl went to see him and asked, "Who was that, Yuya? What does that say?" Yuya looked at the girl and answered, "I don't know Yuzu, it just says to meet it on the roof by myself in fifteen minutes". Yuzu grabbed the note and read it herself. "What if that thing is leading you into a trap?" Yuya answered, "I'm not sure, but I need to know what that creature's monsters were".
Meanwhile on the Roof...
Aero was waiting by the chicken wire fencing, watching the sun and the city landscape. With the note, it wouldn't be long until Yuya meets him, so he wanted to keep quiet and wait patiently. It was then he heard the door opening, but he didn't want to turn around until Yuya asked a question. Yuya slowly walked closer to Aero and was cautious as to what this creature could do. "So, you wanted to talk?"
Aero moved his head slightly to the right, listening to Yuya's question, but he then turned around and he was looking at Yuya, face-to-face. "I have a propersition to make". Yuya looked at him oddly as he heard the creature talk, but Aero continued. "I want to teach you how to Pendulum Summon". Yuya's eyes widened in surprise, this creature who he just barely met was going to teach him how to Pendulum Summon? "Really? You want to help me? Why?" Aero thought it was the best time to take off his goggles, so he took them off and left them hanging on his neck.
Aero opened his eyes and answered, "Because I like the way you duel Yuya, you bring a smile to my face and knowing that you need help with your new summoning method, I wanna be your friend and ally". Yuya was a little surprised at what Aero looked like, but it was nice to know that he had a fan who likes his Entertainment Dueling, even if that fan wasn't human. "Okay sure, but I want to know, who or what are you?" Aero smiled and introduced himself. "The name's Aero and I'm a Mobian, a Mobian Hawk to be precised".
Yuya questioned, "A Mobian... Hawk?" Aero nodded and added, "That's right and if you're wondering, all of the monsters in my deck are all Mobians". Yuya nodded in understanding, but he had many questions to ask. "If you're going to teach me Pendulum Summoning, what do you want?" Aero answered, "Just one thing, I need a place to live". Yuya looked confused at Aero and a little sad for him. "You don't have a home?" Aero nodded and replied, "No I don't. I explore a lot and try and hide since people are not used to the likes of me".
Yuya understood as he shook his head and explained, "I know how you feel, I've been living with a mask of a clown for the past five years when my Dad disappeared". Aero knew it was time to change the subject and he got his duel disk ready. "I would like to know more about your Dad, but let's sort out this summoning first, shall we?" Yuya prepared his duel disk and replied, "Let's do this! Duel!"
Thank you for all of your support everyone! I hope this is okay to everyone and if there is something wrong with it, please tell me.
Happy New Year!
