*Updates* -
(Story) Chapter 1: Mozarta the Melodious Scale's effect was changed.
(RP - Duke) Chapter 2: Yuya actually never used Odd-Eyes Metal Claw in the anime and me and Valentine totally forgot about Brave-Eyes. XD Our bad. So Yuya's Extra Monsters will be Rune-Eyes, Beast-Eyes, and Brave-Eyes.
RP: Vic / Ren Var / The Mad Man
Angel: "Yeah. I guess it would. We just want to make sure we're not wasting our time writing duels either no one cares about or don't feel like reading."
RP: Royal2
Sylvio: "Hey! Now that's just rude!"
Poppy: "I don't exactly blame them for saying that. You were a jerk in the canon universe and you're still sort of a jerk in this universe."
Sylvio: "Oh, come on! I think we both know I'm not the biggest asshole in this room right now!"
Poppy: "That. That I can agree on."
Angel: "And if you think Sylvio was hard to imagine just wait until we get to Yuri. Remember, he's switching places with Celina so he's going to have to tolerate everyone for the rest of the movie until the Fusion Dimension arc.
Yuri: "And I'm not looking forward to it."
Valentine: "Oh, of course! Riley will be taking Declan's place and vice verse."
Declan: "Now this should be interesting."
RP: Duke / Mr. Big
Gong: "Never! The man, Gong, would never stoop so low!"
Angel: "Yeah. Sorry, Duke and Big. That's why these acts took so long. Valentine has been working tirelessly with Gong on the 3rd and 4th acts to try and reach a compromise with him and the whole 'stealing Zuzu's Pendulum cards' plot device."
Valentine: "It wasn't too bad. I completely understand where Gong is coming from. I wouldn't want to steal someone's card either, even if it isn't for real. Luckily, we found an alternative route."
RP: Bif
Angel: "I might skip it, if Yugo doesn't behave."
(Angel glares over at Yugo.)
Yugo: "I'll be good!"
(Angel whispers to Bif.)
Angel: "Between you and me, we won't skip the Parasite arc. As stupid as some people think it was, it's still somewhat important to Season 4. I just said that so Yugo will behave."
RP: Nova Sakaki
Poppy: "Ha! Nice one, Nova!"
(Valentine hands Yugo a towel to wipe his face with.)
Yugo: "Why me though?"
Poppy: "You're the closest target."
Valentine: "Aw, Yuya, don't worry so much. Me and Gong worked together on the next two acts so that he doesn't come off as a bully like Sylvio did in the canon. But it's just like Yuto said, their movie identities does not define their personality in anyway. Gong is still Gong, no matter what the movie says."
RP: RaiaYuki
Poppy: "Thank you, RaiaYuki. Stay tune for more!"
Valentine: "And we hope you enjoy!"
Angel: "Oh and nammyartsblog is on Tumblr, I believe. Except she calls this opposite AU the 'Bracelet Boys and Demon Girls AU'.
RP: snowbell
Zuzu: "Thanks, Snowbell. I'm sure it's going to be tough to beat Gong."
Gong: "Exactly. Just because you're the main character now, Zuzu, doesn't mean Gong will be any easier to defeat!"
Zuzu: "You know I'm always up for a challenge, Gong!"
Valentine: "Oh, umm...Gong? I forgot to mention that you won't be able to use any of your Synchro, Pendulum, or Tuner monsters in this duel."
Gong: "Wait...what?"
Valentine: "Well, since you're in Sylvio's role you don't receive your 'real deck' until later on so like Yuya, we're gonna have to downgrade your deck. At least for the beginning."
Gong: "Oh...Gong sees..."
(Gong slowly walks away.)
Valentine: "I hope he'll be okay..."
Zuzu: "He'll be fine. This is Gong we're talking about."
(Gong sits down next to Yuya.)
Yuya: "We'll get through this together, Gong."
(Gong sighs.)
RP: Ray Akaba 210
Angel: "Yeah. I guess Julia could have fit into this role as well, but then what would we have done with Gong? I think we'll just keep going with the Gong vs. Zuzu duel. Besides, we haven't had one of those. We've already seen Julia vs. Zuzu twice in the canon."
Julia: "Do you even know what you're doing with my character?"
Valentine (Off Screen): "Working on it!"
Angel: "Alright, is Grizzlepike here yet?"
Grizzlepike: "Do I really have to do this? I don't want to suck up to him."
(Grizzlepike jerks his head over at Gong.)
Gong: "Gong isn't exactly happy to be sharing the stage with you either."
Poppy: "Come on. Can you two act a bit more mature. It's just two acts. You'll survive."
Angel: "Places everyone!"
Act 3 and 4: A Superheavy Duel
Zuzu was gasping for breath. Sweat mattered her forehead and her blue eyes were filled with fatigue. Zuzu had been training with Sylvio all through the night and both of them were dead tired. Yuya had left early due to Skip needing him home so that he didn't burn down the house while he was cooking dinner. Zuzu picked two cards from her hand.
"I set the Pendulum Scale with Scale 2 Duet the Melodious Scale and Scale 9 Chorus the Melodious Scale." Sylvio, Zuzu's opponent for this duel, watched as the two Fairies floated in the two pillars of light.
[Name: Duet the Melodious Scale]
[Pendulum Scale: 2]
[Name: Chorus the Melodious Scale]
[Pendulum Scale: 9]
"Pendulum Summon! Come out, my monsters!" Zuzu raised a hand to the sky and three multicolored lights sprang from the portal. "Beethovean the Melodious Maestra! Rhythm the Melodious Diva! Mozarta the Melodious Scale!" Zuzu named as her monsters appeared.
"Finally!" Sylvio exclaimed. "Are you satisfied now?! You manage to Pendulum Summon successfully 271 times! I should know! I've been keeping track!" Zuzu wasn't really listening to Sylvio. Her eyes were already beginning to fall shut.
"I...I did it." And just like that, Zuzu was out like a light. Sylvio blinks a few times, realizing that he was going to have to carry her home too.
"Really, Zuzu! Like I haven't done enough?!"
Since she was training all night, Zuzu slept through most of her classes. Yuya, who sat next to her in math was looking between Zuzu and the teacher worriedly. Most of their teachers didn't really bother Zuzu during her nap time, but their math teacher can be sort of a stick in the mud when it came to such things. Yuya watched over Zuzu, the slight fall and rise of her chest. Her features relaxed by sleep.
Zuzu's mother used to say that Zuzu looks like a melodic angel when she slept and Yuya could kind of see her point. Suddenly, without warning, their math teacher teleported to Yuya's desk, glaring down at him.
"Yuya Sakaki! What is your excuse?!" The teacher demanded, his eyes sharp. Yuya swallowed nervously, realizing that the teacher must have been calling on him but he was too busy looking at Zuzu to notice. There was no way he was going to tell his teacher that.
"Umm...would you excuse me if I had an excuse?" Yuya joked. This awarded him with a smack on the head with Zuzu's fan.
"Of course not, stupid Yuya." Zuzu growled. A few kids burst into laughter as the teacher sighed and rubbed his head. Zuzu just yawned as Yuya stood back up.
At least Zuzu was awake now.
"Sheesh. Just because I stayed up all night doesn't mean you're allowed to act like a clown in class, Yuya." Zuzu said. The three friends were walking out of school, Yuya, Sylvio, and Zuzu. Sylvio had different classes than Zuzu or Yuya and therefore could only see them during lunch and after school.
"Don't get mad. Since you hit me with perfect comedic timing, everyone thought it was funny." Yuya said, his hands behind his head.
"That's not the issue!" Zuzu snap, gritting her teeth before sighing. "And you say I'm a clown." Just before Yuya could defend himself someone called out to Zuzu. The trio looked up to see the You Show Youth students, Allie, Tate, and Frederick waiting outside the school's gates.
"Hey guys." Zuzu greeted.
"I heard you were able to Pendulum Summon!" Tate said excitedly. "Show us right away!" Zuzu smiled and nods.
"Yeah! Let's go to You Show Duel School!" Zuzu said, pointing down the street. The group turned a street corner, only to hit something large and heavy. Everyone fell back, groaning in pain.
"Oh, I'm sorry." A voice said. "Here, allow me." Zuzu blinked open her eyes to see a large hand being held out to her. She took it and she was quickly and effortlessly pulled up. Once she was on her feet, the others were also helped up. "Sorry about that." The voice continued once everyone was on their feet.
"N-no. No. It's our fault. We weren't watching where we were going." Zuzu said, blinking the stars from her eyes. What the gang had ran into wasn't a wall, but was in fact, a rather tall boy with dark skin, brown hair, and had a tough build. The boy smiled at them.
"No, it was my mistake. Oh! Is that your deck?" Zuzu looked down to see her cards were all over the street. She must have drop it when she fell.
"Ah! My cards!" Zuzu quickly bent down to pick them up, along with her friends and the other boy.
"Hey, wait a minute. Are these Pendulum cards?" The boy holds up Zuzu's first two Pendulum cards, Duet and Chorus.
"Yeah." Zuzu nods as she continues picking up the rest of her cards.
"Oh good. I guess I found what I was looking for." The stranger's tone had become mocking, causing everyone to look up. He was standing now, towering over them all with a evil smirk on his lips. Zuzu's Pendulum cards in between his fingers. "Thanks for your 'generous' donation to Strong Dojo."
"D-donation?!" Zuzu shouted.
"Hey! Those are not yours!" Yuya added. "Give them back!" But before any of them could really react to the situation, the thief turned and booked it back down the street.
"Grr! Get back here! Don't think you can run away!" Zuzu shouted, giving chase. Everyone quickly followed suit. Although the boy was quite large in size, Zuzu and the others had a bit of trouble keeping up with him but they never gave up the chase. The thief ran through the city, far past LDS and You Show. The only time he slowed down was when he reached the top of a large staircase, throwing a grin over his shoulder at the exhausted kids, before slipping through a pair of large wooden doors.
"T-this much...r-running should be...b-bad for your...health." Sylvio gasped in between breaths.
"Come on, Sylvio! Don't be such a slug and move those legs!" Tate shouted, as him, Frederick, and Allie pushing against the dueltainer to try and get him up the rest of the stairs.
"He went into that building! He has nowhere to run now!" Zuzu growled, fire in her eyes. Yuya nods at his friend, determined to help her get her cards back. As the younger kids dealt with Sylvio, Yuya and Zuzu went on ahead. When they pushed open the wooden doors it didn't take them long to figure out what kind of building this was.
"This...this is Strong Dojo." Yuya gasped.
"Strongwhatnow?" Zuzu asked, confused.
"It's one of our rival schools." Yuya explained. "They teach 'Heavystrong' dueling here." Zuzu blinks at her friend, still confused.
"Heavystrong dueling means we don't chase after Action Cards and use our own strength to win, unlike your school." A voice sneered. Both Yuya and Zuzu looked up to see the same thief from before, standing outside the actual dojo.
"You! Give me back my cards or you're going to regret it!" Zuzu shouted.
"Come and make me." The thief splat before rushed back inside the dojo.
"That's it!" Zuzu growled, bringing out her paper fan and once more giving chase.
"Z-Zuzu! Wait!" Yuya cried. Zuzu threw open the doors to the dojo only to be greeted by the dojo's students, all of them sitting on their knees in a line on either side of the room. All of them were dressed in a white karate gi.
"Welcome strangers, to Strong Dojo!" A loud voice boomed. It was coming from the front of the room. "My name is Gong Strong, the next inheritor of this school. What brings you both here?!" The one who sat at the front of the room, like the thief, has a muscular build but he had lighter skin, black hair that was styled into a large pompadour with a red band, and wore a white jacket over a buttoned white coat with a golden trim with matching white pants. Around his shoulders was a white slash.
"I'll tell you what brings me here! Some prick ran in here with my cards!" Zuzu snapped. The dojo's students began to murmur to one another.
"SILENCE!" Gong shouted. He turned to look at a row of students to the left. "Grizzlepike, you were the last one to enter. Did you take this girl's cards?" From the row of students, the thief, now known as Grizzlepike step up to Gong's side.
"I did, Gong."
"Yup! That's him, alright." Zuzu growled with Yuya doing everything in his power to calm her down.
"But I only took her cards for the good of this school." Grizzlepike held out the cards to Gong, who took them. "Pendulum Summoning is such a useful tool. Its great power is being wasted on a school such as their's!"
"H-hey!" Yuya yelped.
"Grizzlepike, stealing is stealing no matter the reason. You should know this lesson by now. And even more so, I find it very insulting that you think that Heavystrong dueling needs such improvements." Grizzlepike gazed down at his feet, shame written all over his face.
"Please accept my apologies, Gong. I did not mean to shame our school in such a way." Gong closes his eyes and nods. He holds out the cards to Zuzu.
"Here. Take back your…'Pendulum' cards." Zuzu marches over to Gong and takes her cards back, relieved to see that they looked unharm. She shot a dark glare at Grizzlepike who glanced away, fearful. Since he didn't have the approval of his leader, he felt very foolish and small under Zuzu's gaze. "If I'm not mistaken, you are from Leo Duel School, correct?" Gong asked.
"Yeah. That's right." Zuzu nods. Gong then suddenly stands up.
"I've heard many things regarding your school including your power to Pendulum Summon. Since you are here now, would it be too much trouble for the man, Gong, to ask for a duel against you?" Zuzu blinked.
"A duel? Here? Now?" Gong nods. Zuzu looks over at Yuya who just shrugs.
"It's your call, Zuzu."
"Alright. I accept your challenge." Zuzu says. Suddenly a student hit a gong, the sound resonating through the room.
"Very well then. Spectors, to your seats!" Gong shouted.
"Whoa! Hey now!" Yuya gasped as a couple of students dragged him to the far end of the room so that the dueling field was clear. Gong and Zuzu activated their duel disks.
"Gong activates the Action Field, Sword Cemetery!" The field came to life as a dark, eerie graveyard with thousands of fallen swords stabbed deep into the earth. "Duelist locked in battle!" Gong began as he grabbed his own duel disk.
"Kicking against the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters!" Zuzu followed up.
"They storm through this field!" Yuya shouted.
"Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of dueling!" The dojo's students cries rang together.
"Action Duel!" They both shouted together.
Gong Strong vs. Zuzu Akaba
Gong: 4000 LP [Hand: 5]
Zuzu: 4000 LP [Hand: 5]
"I'll make the first move and first off I'm going to summon Superheavy Samurai Kabuto!" A large red and black Machine-Type samurai monster appeared, wielding a large red hammer.
[Name: Superheavy Samurai Kabuto]
[Level: 4]
[ATK: 1000]
"Gong gonna end their turn with that." Zuzu blinked in confusion.
"Just a single monster with 1000 attack?" Zuzu thought out loud.
"It's not the monsters you use, it's how you use them." Gong said with a smirk. Yuya also found Gong's weak monster a strange opening move but decided that they probably shouldn't look a gifted horse in the mouth.
"Go for it, Zuzu! Take him down!" Just then, Sylvio and the You Show kids stumbled in, with Sylvio leaning way too much on the kids for support.
"R-running that much...s-should be illegal." Sylvio panted.
"What the huh?" Tate asked as they all dropped Sylvio uncermonically on the ground.
"Zuzu's dueling?" Allie added.
"Guys, over here!" Yuya waved. As Yuya explained to them what was going on, Zuzu took her turn.
"It's my move! I draw!" Zuzu shouted.
Gong Strong vs. Zuzu Akaba
Gong: 4000 LP [Hand: 4]
Zuzu: 4000 LP [Hand: 6]
"I'm going to start this concert off by activating the Spell, First Movement Solo! This card allows me to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower 'Melodious' monster from my deck as long as I don't control any monsters on the field! I Special Summon Tempo the Melodious Diva!"
[Name: Tempo the Melodious Diva]
[Level: 3]
[ATK: 1300]
"At this moment Gong activates Kabuto's effect! Since you Special Summon a monster to your field Gong's samurai switches to defense mode! And it gains 500 defense points!"
[Name: Superheavy Samurai Kabuto]
[DEF: (2000 + 500) = 2500]
"Oh man, that's one sturdy wall!" Yuya gawked.
"Maybe Special Summoning on the first turn wasn't such a great idea." Gong spoke, his knowing smirk still present. "You start playing cute and things will start to get ugly real fast." Zuzu narrowed her eyes.
"Since Tempo was Special Summoned, I get to add 1 'Melodious' monster from my deck or Graveyard to my hand. I choose Duet the Melodious Scale." Zuzu said, calmly.
"No way! Is Zuzu gonna Pendulum Summon?" Frederick asked. "I'm getting so many shivers!"
"I set the Pendulum Scale with Scale 2 Duet the Melodious Scale and Scale 9 Chorus the Melodious Scale!"
[Name: Duet the Melodious Scale]
[Pendulum Scale: 2]
[Name: Chorus the Melodious Scale]
[Pendulum Scale: 9]
"Now I can summon monsters between Levels 3 through 9! You're on! Mozarta the Melodious Scale and Rhythm the Melodious Diva!" The two Fairy-Type monsters appeared on either side of Zuzu. "How's that for 'cute'?" Zuzu asked.
[Name: Mozarta the Melodious Scale]
[Level: 8]
[ATK: 2600]
[Name: Rhythm the Melodious Diva]
[Level: 3]
[ATK: 1000]
"Alright then Mozarta! Attack Kabuto now! Graceful Pendulum Wave!"
"Way to go, Zuzu!" Everyone cheered except for a very tired out Sylvio who just gave her a thumbs up. The force of the attack pushed Gong back a bit, but like a wall he held firm. Since Kabuto was in defense mode, Gong took no damage.
"Next, Rhythm's effect activates and she gains half of the attack points of your destroyed Kabuto until my next Standby Phase!"
[Name: Rhythm the Melodious Diva]
[ATK: (1000 + 500) = 1500]
"It's your time to shine, Rhythm and Tempo! Attack Gong directly!" Rhythm slammed her drum into Gong, and much to the You Show's students shock, Gong hardly moved. This also happen with Tempo's sound attack. The dojo students cheered and clapped for him.
"Yeah, Gong! That's the way!"
"He took that attack like it was nothing!"
"Gong never moves when he duels! That's our Superheavy style!"
Gong Strong vs. Zuzu Akaba
Gong: (4000 - 1500 - 1300) = 1200 LP [Hand: 4]
Zuzu: 4000 LP [Hand: 1]
"I'll put my concert on hold for now. It's your move." Gong placed a hand on his deck and drew his next card. The literally force of his draw drew up a strong wind that pushed Zuzu's hair back. "Just how strong is this guy?" Zuzu flinched. Gong smirked when he saw what he drew.
Gong Strong vs. Zuzu Akaba
Gong: 1200 LP [Hand: 5]
Zuzu: 4000 LP [Hand: 1]
"It's Gong's move! Since you have 2 monsters out Gong can summon Superheavy Samurai Scales."
[Name: Superheavy Samurai Scales]
[Level: 4]
[ATK: 800]
"And when Gong has got this big bad boy on the field, Gong can grab a Superheavy Samurai from his Graveyard!" The pans the samurai was carrying on a pole began to glow. "Welcome back, Superheavy Samurai Kabuto!"
[Name: Superheavy Samurai Kabuto]
[Level: 4]
[DEF: 2000]
"Unfortunately, you won't be sticking around." Gong held Zuzu's gaze firmly. "Cause Gong is tributing you and Superheavy Samurai Scales to tip things in Gong's favor!" The two monsters disappeared and a new single light took the stage. "Gong's bringing out the staff swinging Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei in defense mode!" A much larger samurai warrior took the field, wielding a heavy staff.
[Name: Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei]
[Level: 8]
[DEF: 3500]
The dojo cheered as Gong brought out his ace monster while the You Show students, including Zuzu, were confused.
"Usually when you summon a monster in defense mode it's usually face down." Allie said, baffled.
"That's true, but one of Big Benkei's power is that it can be summon face up in defense mode." Gong answered. "Alright, Big Benkei! Take a swipe at Rhythm the Melodious Diva!"
"H-huh? But your monster in still in defense mode! It can't attack!" Zuzu pointed out.
"Yeah, but Big Benkei is allowed to attack even when it's in defense mode." Big Benkei's red eyes lit up and he punched the earth, the ground crumbling as steam and fire rose from the cracks, heading straight for Rhythm. "And it's defense points gets used as its attack points!" Zuzu tried to look for an Action Card, but by the time she was able to grab it, the attack already struck, destroying Rhythm and dealing Zuzu damage.
Gong Strong vs. Zuzu Akaba
Gong: 1200 LP [Hand: 3]
Zuzu: (4000 - 2000) = 2000 LP [Hand: 1]
"Gong thinks that's enough hurting for now." He smirked again. Zuzu wipes away the dirt that had gotten on her face.
"Oh no. Zuzu, be careful!" Allie called.
"You haven't knocked me down yet, Gong!" Zuzu shouted. "I draw!"
Gong Strong vs. Zuzu Akaba
Gong: 1200 LP [Hand: 3]
Zuzu: 2000 LP [Hand: 2]
"First I'm activating the Action Spell, Extreme Sword! This grants my Tempo 1000 more attack during the Battle Phase!" Zuzu said, holding up the Action Card she had failed to use last turn.
[Name: Tempo the Melodious Diva]
[ATK: (1300 + 1000) = 2300]
"W-what? But why would Zuzu use Extreme Sword on Tempo?" Tate asked.
"Yeah. Now neither of Zuzu's monsters will be able to beat him." Frederick added.
"Don't count Zuzu out yet, you guys." Yuya said. "Look at that." He points forward. "Zuzu's still smiling which means she definitely has something planned."
"Gong thinks you may have made a mistake-" Gong began, but Zuzu interrupted him.
"Who said Mozarta was just going to be doing a solo act? Chorus, activate your Pendulum effect!"
"Pendulum effect?" Gong echoed.
"Once per turn, I can target 1 monster you control and for every 'Melodious' monster I control, your monster loses 500 attack and defense!"
[Name: Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei]
[DEF: (3500 - 1000) = 2500]
[ATK: (1000 - 1000) = 0]
"So that's what Zuzu was planning!" Tate exclaimed.
"Way to go!" Allie and Frederick cheered.
"Now Mozarta has more than enough attack points to deal with Big Benkei." Yuya said.
"Mozarta, it's your moment! Destroy Big Benkei!" The attack struck and smoke filled the room.
"Now Zuzu has a clear opening to attack!" Sylvio smirked, finally recovered from the trip. But as the smoke cleared away, Sylvio was proven wrong. Big Benkei still stood, tall and proud.
"What? But how?" Zuzu asked.
"When Big Benkei got attack, Gong sent his Superheavy Samurai Soulfire Suit from his hand straight to the Graveyard. As soon as Gong did that it kept Gong's Superheavy Samurai Benkei from getting wiped out this turn!" Gong shouted.
"So that's your dueling style. You and your monster are like a wall and you weaken your hand to protect them until the time is right to attack." Zuzu said. Gong nods.
"That's right. The only downside is Gong's Superheavy Samurai loses 800 defense points."
[Name: Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei]
[DEF: (2500 - 800) = 1700]
"So even though Big Benkei's defense is lowered, Zuzu still can't do anything." Allie realized. "It can't be destroyed by battle and it's in defense position so she can't deal damage."
"In times like this, it's time for an Action Card!" Zuzu began running forward, her monsters sending out wave after wave of sound attacks, but they weren't aiming at Gong's monster.
"Huh? What is Zuzu doing now?" Sylvio asked. Yuya blinked in realization.
"Oh! I get it! Zuzu is using her monster's voices to find Action Cards. The field is so flat and open that any small breeze…"
"Can stir up any hidden Action Cards!" The children finished. Yuya smiles and nods. Suddenly an Action Card flew up, drifting high into the air but Zuzu was too far away and Gong was too close.
"Oh no! If Zuzu doesn't hurry, Gong is going to get the card!" Frederick shouted.
"Ha! Don't make me laugh. Gong would never go for it." Grizzlepike chuckled at them. Everyone was more than confused when Gong actually nods in agreement to his classmate's statement.
"Gong ain't moving." And true to his word, Zuzu actually manage to grab the Action Card.
"I activate the Action Spell, Defense Slash! For the rest of this turn, my monsters can inflict piercing damage to you! Go Tempo!"
"Soulfire Suit's ability activates! Protecting Big Benkei from being destroyed!"
"But you're still taking the damage!"
Gong Strong vs. Zuzu Akaba
Gong: (1200 - 600) = 600 LP [Hand: 2]
Zuzu: 2000 LP [Hand: 2]
"So what Grizzlepike said was actually true. You don't use Action Cards in your duels." Zuzu said as the Battle Phase ended and Tempo returned to her side. Gong shakes his head.
"The way Gong sees it, a person has to trust in their deck with their whole heart and soul instead of counting on Action Cards to help them win a duel. Action Cards are a coin toss."
"But not knowing what you're going to get is more exciting, isn't it?" Zuzu asked.
"Perhaps so. My father told me you take a lot after your own father, Leo Akaba, Zuzu. You want to entertain the world just like him." Gong's eyes suddenly lit up with a new fire. "So I will show you my own brand of Heavystrong entertainment! It's my move! I draw!"
Gong Strong vs. Zuzu Akaba
Gong: 600 LP [Hand: 3]
Zuzu: 2000 LP [Hand: 2]
"Since my turn ended, Big Benkei gains its attack and defense points back." Zuzu said.
[Name: Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei]
[DEF: (1700 + 1000) = 2700]
[ATK: (0 + 1000) = 1000]
"I summon the impenetrable Superheavy Samurai Soulshield Wall and Gong's equipping it to Big Benkei to give it a 1200 point defense boost!" A green armor like shield appeared and attached itself to Big Benkei.
[Name: Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei]
[DEF: (2700 + 1200) = 3900]
"Oh man. Gong sure was lucky." Yuya said, scratching his head.
"Ha! Luck had nothing to do with it, right Gong!" Grizzlepike shouted.
"Of course not. Because it's all part of Gong's plan. Now go! Big Benkei! Take out Tempo the Melodious Diva and end this duel!" Big Benkei punched the ground once again and Zuzu made a mad dash for an Action Card. Allie did the math in her head.
"This isn't good! If Zuzu doesn't stop this attack it's all over!" Allie cried. Zuzu snatched an Action Card stuck between a handle of a sword and activated it.
"I activate the Action Spell, Sword's Final Defense! This card allowed me to negate your attack, however I take half of the attacking monster's defense points as damage!"
"Half of Big Benkei's defense? That's…" Sylvio tried counting on his fingers but gave up. "That's a lot of damage!"
"A lot." Yuya agrees. "But not enough."
Gong Strong vs. Zuzu Akaba
Gong: 600 LP [Hand: 2]
Zuzu: (2000 - 1950) = 50 LP [Hand: 2]
"50 life points?" Allie whimpered. Zuzu struggled to stand. The effect damage she had taken hit her hard.
"I admire your fighting spirit, Zuzu." Gong said. "But that's all I can really say."
"Heh. Don't count me and my monsters out yet, Gong. I still have life points left." Zuzu said in a pained tone. Gong smiles at her.
"You really are just like your father. Gong ends his turn."
"It's my move! I draw!"
Gong Strong vs. Zuzu Akaba
Gong: 600 LP [Hand: 2]
Zuzu: 50 LP [Hand: 3]
"I summon Freya, Spirit of Victory!" A blue haired fairy, holding two pink pom poms and wearing a blue dress appeared. "And when Freya is on the field, every Fairy-Type monster on my field gains 400 attack and defense. And since she isn't alone on my field, you can't target her for attacks."
[Name: Freya, Spirit of Victory]
[Level: 1]
[ATK: (100 + 400) = 500]
[DEF: (100 + 400) = 500]
[Name: Mozarta the Melodious Scale]
[ATK: (2600 + 400) = 3000]
[DEF: (2000 + 400) = 2400]
[Name: Tempo the Melodious Diva]
[ATK: (1300 + 400) = 1700]
[DEF: (1000 + 400) = 1400]
"That still isn't enough to beat my Big Benkei." Gong said.
"You're right, but not until I activate Chorus' Pendulum effect! Your Big Benkei loses 1500 defense points this turn!"
[Name: Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei]
[DEF: (2900 - 1500) = 2400]
[ATK: (1000 - 1500) = 0]
"Now Zuzu's Mozarta is stronger than Gong's Big Benkei which means…"
"Zuzu is victorious!" The You Show kids shouted together.
"Mozarta, let's wrap this duel up! Destroy Gong's Big Benkei!" Mozarta flew forward.
"Not yet! Gong activates Soulshield Wall's second ability! By sending it to the Graveyard Gong can negate your monster's attack." Mozarta's sound attack bounced harmlessly off the wall. "And Big Benkei's defense becomes 0."
[Name: Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei]
[DEF: 0]
"But now Tempo can take it out! Go Tempo!" Tempo finally destroys Gong's ace monster but like always, Gong holds firm. "And now since you have no monsters on the field, Freya, attack Gong directly!" The small Fairy-Type threw her pom poms at Gong, smacking him right on the chest, but Gong shook off the 500 damage.
Gong Strong vs. Zuzu Akaba
Gong: (600 - 500) = 100 LP [Hand: 2]
Zuzu: 50 LP [Hand: 2]
"Ohhh, Zuzu was so close!" Frederick whined.
"This is bad. Zuzu only has 50 life points left." Tate said.
"50 life points. There's no way. Zuzu has already lost this." Sylvio sighed.
"Hey! Now what kind of attitude is that?" Yuya asked. "Did you forget what school you're from? We're from You Show and there, when the dueling gets tough the tough get dueling!"
"That's right, Yuya!" Zuzu called. "It's not over until the last monster has sung!" Sylvio smirks.
"You know what? You're actually right for once, Yuya. Zuzu, you better keep on fighting!" Sylvio shouted.
"Gong, you said you believe in your cards and I believe in mine! I activate the Continuous Spell, Melodious Tempo Change! I can shuffle one card in my hand back into my deck and draw once more!" Zuzu placed her last card in her hand into her deck. "This is it, Gong. This will decide the duel!" Zuzu drew her final card. She looked down at it. Everyone, even the dojo's students, held their breath. "I end my turn, Gong." Zuzu said, holding her last card tightly in her hand. "Now come at me with everything you got!"
"Gong will not disappoint! Gong draws!" Gong drew once more from his deck, sending a blast of wind.
Gong Strong vs. Zuzu Akaba
Gong: 600 LP [Hand: 3]
Zuzu: 50 LP [Hand: 1]
"Gong summons Superheavy Samurai Daihachi from his hand and use his effect to switch himself into defense mode. Next Gong equips him with Superheavy Samurai Soulbang Cannon! Now he gains 1000 more defense points!"
[Name: Superheavy Samurai Daihachi]
[DEF: (1800 + 1000) = 2800]
"Now this is the final attack! Superheavy Samurai Daihachi, attack Mozarta the Melodious Scale! This is it!" The You Show kids covered their eyes as the attack struck, but Yuya and Sylvio saw Zuzu smiling.
"I activate the effect of Score the Melodious Diva that is in my hand!" Zuzu shouted.
"What?!"
"When a 'Melodious' monster I control battles, during damage calculation I can send Score to the Graveyard and my opponent's monster loses all of its attack and defense points!"
[Name: Superheavy Samurai Daihachi]
[DEF: 0]
[ATK: 0]
"No way! Gong's Superheavy Samurai just became a lightweight." Tate gasped. Mozarta dodged the attack and retaliated, destroying Daihachi and dealing Gong damage. This is the attack that finally pushes Gong into the ground.
Gong Strong vs. Zuzu Akaba
Gong: (600 - 2600) = 0 LP [Hand: 1]
Zuzu: 50 LP [Hand: 1]
Winner: Zuzu Akaba
As the duel field disappears, the You Show students congratulate Zuzu on her victory and the dojo's students applauded her for such a great duel. Even Grizzlepike is giving Zuzu a slow clap, looking a bit annoyed. Zuzu walks over to Gong and helps the larger male to his feet.
"That was a great duel, Gong. You're one of my toughest opponents yet." Zuzu smiled.
"Likewise. The man, Gong hasn't had a challenge like that in a while. Thank you for the entertaining duel." Gong holds out his hand and Zuzu shakes it. "I look forward to dueling you again, Zuzu Akaba."
"Uhh...Zuzu?! We really need to get back to You Show!" Yuya called. Zuzu glances back at him questionably. "Dad isn't exactly happy we skipped his class!"
"Oh yeah. We did sort of skip Skip's class." Sylvio chuckled. Zuzu lets out sigh, already preparing herself for the lecture Yuya's father was no doubt going to give them.
"We gotta go. Until we meet again, Gong Strong!" Zuzu waved at him before racing off followed by her friends. Grizzlepike waited until they left before approaching Gong.
"Okay. I'll admit that duel was pretty good, but you know she's not going to be happy about this." Gong shakes his head, crossing his arms.
"Gong told you before. Gong doesn't take orders from her. She wanted more information on Zuzu's Pendulum Cards and Gong got her that." One of the dojo's students came up, holding a small camera in his hands. The camera had been actively recording the duel since the beginning and the You Show students had no idea about it. "No stealing, no violence. If she wants Pendulum cards that badly." Gong hands the hidden camera to Grizzlepike before turning to leave. "She can make them herself."
The gang hadn't took even one step outside of the dojo before someone suddenly dropped down in front of them, causing the group to jump.
"Hello there! Sorry to have startle you." The new comer said, bowing before them. Zuzu and the others blink a couple of times.
"Well you should be!" Zuzu growled. "Were you trying to give us a heart attack?!" The new comer stood back up. He has bright curly red hair hanging down to his chin in crumpled spikes, green eyes, and a beauty mark below his right eye. He wore an odd ensemble of clothes, a long-sleeved blue collared shirt with a purple bow tie around his neck, and an orange jacket on top of that missing the right sleeve and with a shortened hang on the right side, as well as a black glove on his left hand, and dark pants and red shoes. He was certainly by far the strangest person the group have ever seen.
"Again, I apologize, fair maiden and friends. I just couldn't help myself. You see, I've witness your duel inside the dojo and I must say I was completely dazzled by your performance."
"Dazzled?" Zuzu questions. The odd boy nods.
"Yes. My name is Dennis, by the way. Dennis McField."
"Oh, well. Thank you, Dennis. So were you here to join Strong Dojo?" Zuzu asked. Dennis smirks and shakes his head.
"I was but seeing your talented dueltaining changed my mind! I want to duel just like that! No! Even better than that!" Dennis pushes his face close to Zuzu's. "Please, fair Zuzu! Take me as your apprentice!" A blush spreads across Zuzu's cheeks and the next thing you know, Dennis is sent flying into a couple of bushes, a red hand print mark on his cheek.
"Come on, guys. Let's go." Zuzu said, nonchalantly as she continued to walk. Allie, Tate, and Frederick followed closely behind.
"Sorry! Zuzu can be like that sometimes!" Yuya called before running after.
"Just put some ice on it! You'll be fine!" Sylvio adds.

Dear Reviewers: So after Dennis vs Zuzu, and Lulu's debut duel, the LEO Trio is going to come in and face You Show, but we're not exactly sure how we should do it. Should we just leave it as the canon did with Yuya versing Dipper, Zuzu versing Julia, and then Sylvio facing Kit? Or should Zuzu face Dipper, Yuya face Julia, and then Sylvio face Kit?
Basically, between Yuya, Zuzu, Sylvio, and Dipper, Julia, and Kit, who should face who? Many thanks for your suggestions!
Angel: "And that's all she wrote, folks! No. Seriously. That's all Valentine wrote. Act 3 and 4 is finally finished!"
(Dennis is holding a bag of ice to his still red cheek.)
Dennis: "Hooray..."
(Dennis mumbles.)
Zuzu: "My bad. I didn't mean to slap you so hard."
Angel: "And so if you all haven't figured it out by now, Dennis is switching places with Sora. Won't the next act be a treat."
Sylvio: "So wait, does this mean that...Dennis is going to teach Yuya how to Fusion Summon?!"
Valentine: "Well...yeah? How else was it going to happen?"
Sylvio: "Sorry, but that just sounds so weird."
Angel: "Then the movie is doing its job!"
