Hey guys! Back with yet another chapter. Since Yuki was sent to the Synchro Dimension, a couple chapters will focus mostly on Sekai as he is going to join the Lancers in his place along with Kat. So I hope you guys enjoy but don't worry! Yuki will come back in the Synchro Arc. Enjoy!
Chapter 8:
Kaze's POV:
I was driving around the area that look like ruins for anything unusual until a bright light flashed in my Extra Deck. I stopped and took the card flashing. "Storm-Eyes. Is there something your trying to tell me?" As if on cue, Storm-Eyes glowed even brighter as I gasped and felt my body disappear into thin air meaning...I'm traveling through dimensions again!
Meanwhile at the Ancient Ruins Area
Sekai's POV:
I was walking around aimlessly until I heard a scream of pain coming from a temple and was shocked to see it was Shun. I ran up to him but what shocked me again was another look alike of Ruri. "Ruri!? Is that you!?" She turned to me and gasped as if she saw a ghost. "Ruri? My name is Selena!"
"Selena?" I heard Shun grunted struggling to get up. "We have to get out of here. NOW!" I held Shun's arm around my shoulder and heard footsteps coming from the temple. I turned to him and gasped that it was an Academia duelist. "Where do you think you're going? I'm not finished with him yet." The boy said. Selena activated her duel disk that was Academia version and activated a spell that summoned a mist that surrounded us. We took this chance to escape.
Lava Field Area
Me, Selena, and Shun tried our best to run to a safe place to treat Shun's wounds until he dropped down which made us stop. "Shun! Come on, man! Get up!" I offered my hand but he slapped it away. "Screw you! I don't need your help! Just let me handle this! This is my battlefield!" Shun shouted.
"Found you!" We turned to the little boy from earlier catch up to us along with three obelisk force soldiers. "You can't escape from us." Just then, two ninjas appeared before us and stood in their way. I then caught a glimpse of someone hiding at a cliff peeking and I gasped. I gritted my teeth in anger and started to jump to him. "Found you!" He jumped out of his hiding spot and landed near the obelisk force and sora as I jumped down.
"Finally! So this is where you've been, Dennis." I spoke as he fake smiled. "What are you talking about? I am merely an exchange LDS student."
"Oh really? Well then, how about you prove it? Duel me!" I challenged Dennis activating my duel disk as the blade color was blue. "Well then. If you insist." Dennis accepted.
"What are you doing!? Why are you dueling him when the enemy is right in front of us!?" Shun shouted as I gasped. "That's right. You weren't there when I saw Ruri." Shun's eyes widened when he heard his sister's name. "This guy...is a Fusion spy!" I pointed to Dennis.
"A spy? Are you crazy? Like I said, I'm just a-" I cut him off. "Screw that! I know because I watched as you and another Fusion duelist in a cloak take Ruri away. I won't be fooled by your tricks! Now! Wipe that damn smirk off your face and duel me!" Dennis laughed while still denying it.
"Well. I guess I have no choice. I'll have to put a smile on your face to make you happy." Dennis assured as me and the others started our separate duels.
"DUEL!"
Turn 1
Sekai: 4000
Hand: 5
Dennis: 4000
Hand: 5
"I'll start things off. I'll set a monster facedown and set one card facedown to end my turn." I started off.
Turn 2
Sekai: 4000
Hand: 3
Dennis: 4000
Hand: 5
"My turn, draw!" He smiled. "Now then! It's time I made this duel entertaining! First, I'll summon Performage Trick Clown."
Performage Trick Clown: Lv. 4 LIGHT Spellcaster ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1200
"And since there are two or more monsters currently on the field, I can special summon Performage Hat Tricker!"
Performage Hat Tricker: Lv. 4 LIGHT Spellcaster ATK: 1100/ DEF: 1100
"And now I overlay my lv 4 Trick Clown and Hat Tricker in order to build the overlay network!" Both monsters turned yellow before going into a galaxy portal. "Xyz Summon! Show must go on! Performage Trapeze Magician!"
Performage Trapeze Magician: Rank 4 LIGHT Spellcaster/Xyz ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000 OU: 2
"Tch! Stop playing around and show your real face!" I shouted. "But this is my real face. But if you insist, I activate Trapeze Magician's effect! By using one overlay unit, I can have itself make two attacks this turn!"
Trapeze Magician OU: 2-1
"And since my Trick Clown was sent to the graveyard this turn, I can special summon it with it's stats at zero. Come back once again!"
Performage Trick Clown: Lv. 4 LIGHT Spellcaster ATK: 1600-0/ DEF: 1200-0
"Next I play the spell Performage Xyz Makeover! When I special summon a Performage monster from my graveyard, I can use that monster as an Xyz material and Xyz Summon a Performage Xyz monster that's one rank higher than my monster's level! I overlay Trick Clown to build the overlay network!" Trick Clown turned yellow before going into another galaxy portal. "Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 5! Performage Shadow Maker!"
Performage Shadow Maker #1: Rank 5 DARK Spellcaster/Xyz ATK: 2600/ DEF: 1000 OU: 1
"Next I play the another spell known as Performing Curtain Call! By targeting one Performage Xyz monster on my field, I can special summon another copy of it with it's effects negated! Come forth! My other Shadow Maker!" Dennis' Extra opened as a card flew out and he summoned it.
Performage Shadow Maker #2: Rank 5 DARK Spellcaster/Xyz ATK: 2600/ DEF: 1000 OU: 0
"And now my first Shadow Maker's effect activates! Since he was targeted by a card effect, I can use one overlay unit to special summon another from my Extra Deck! Come! My 3rd Shadow Maker!" A shadow under the monster formed as another one came out.
Shadow Maker #1 OU: 1-0
Performage Shadow Maker #3: Rank 5 DARK Spellcaster/Xyz ATK: 2600/ DEF: 1000 OU: 0
"Tch!"
"He summoned 4 Xyz monsters in 1 turn!?" Shun said.
"That bastard! He was holding back on me!?" Selena shouted.
"I believe this is where we end things here. Battle! Shadow Maker attack his facedown monster!" Shadow Maker went ahead and opened it's scissor and cut my monster as I smirked. "The monster you attacked was this! Spectral Sorcerer! When this card leaves the field, I can destroy all special summoned monsters on the field and then inflict 400 points for each one! Take this!" Sorcerer casted a spell and destroyed all the Performage Xyz monsters.
"Grgh!"
Dennis: 4000-2400
"If that's the best you can do, then I'm not impressed." I said.
"Heh. I'm the duel is not over yet! I'll make you smile somehow. I'll set one card facedown and end my turn."
Turn 3
Sekai: 4000
Hand: 3
Dennis: 2400
Hand: 1
"My turn, draw." I drew my card and my eyes widened.
"Since there are no monsters on my field, I special summon Spectral Esquire in ATK mode!"
Spectral Esquire: Lv. 1 DARK Zombie ATK: 0/ DEF: 0
"When this card is summoned or special summoned, I can add a Spectral card from my deck to my hand. I add Spectral Sorceress from my deck to my hand. And I'll summon her to the field."
Spectral Sorceress: Lv. 3 DARK Zombie ATK: 1000/ DEF: 600
"And now my Sorceress' effect activates! When this card is summoned, I can special summon a lv 4 or below Spectral monster from my graveyard. Come! Spectral Sorcerer!" A graveyard portal opened as my Sorcerer came out.
Spectral Sorcerer: Lv. 4 DARK Zombie ATK: 1500/ DEF: 1500
"And that's not all my Sorceress has! Once per turn, she can change the levels of all my Spectral monsters until they reach the highest lv on my field. So now all my Spectrals level's become 4!" Sorceress chanted a spell that raised all my monster's levels to 4.
Esquire Lv: 1-4
Sorceress Lv: 3-4
"I now overlay my lv 4 Esquire, Sorceress, and Sorcerer to build the overlay network!" All my monsters turned purple before going into a galaxy portal. "Souls of the lost past revive! Use your power to bring forth hope! Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 4! Spectral Magician!"
Spectral Magician: Rank 4 DARK Zombie/Xyz ATK: 2500/ DEF: 1500 OU: 3
"Now for his effect! Once per turn I can use one overlay unit to check your hand and if you have any spell or traps, you take 500 points of damage!" Dennis lost his smile as he revealed his hand and I was right. His hand contained...Polymerization! Shun's eyes widened when he saw the card in my duel.
Spectral Magician OU: 3-2
"I knew it! And that is your proof! With my Magician's effect, you take 500 points of damage!" Magician lifted it's staff and shot Dennis.
Dennis: 2400-1900
"And this will finish it! Battle! Attack his LP directly!" Magician prepared another shot until Dennis lifted his head up showing his true nature. "I activate the continuous trap Fusion Trench! As long as this card is on the field, only Fusion monsters are allowed to attack." I gritted my teeth.
"I end my turn."
Turn 4
Sekai: 4000
Hand: 3
Dennis: 1900
Hand: 1
"My turn, draw!"
"I activate the spell Ancient Gear Chaos Fusion! By sending Polymerization from my hand to the graveyard, I can banish all my Xyz monsters in my graveyard and special summon Ancient Gear monsters from my Deck, Extra Deck, and Graveyard ignoring the summoning conditions and then use then for a Fusion Summon!" Dennis grabbed 4 Ancient Gear monsters(1 Effect monster and 3 Fusion monsters) and summoned them to the field and then fused them together. "Mechanized hound dogs that inherit the ancient soul! Merge those ten heads, unleash chaos and become tremendous strength! Fusion Summon! Appear now! Level 10! Ancient Gear Chaos Giant!"
Ancient Gear Chaos Giant: Lv. 10 DARK Machine/Fusion ATK: 4500/ DEF: 3000
My eyes widened in fear of that monster Dennis summoned. "No. That monster!"
"I'll give you credit for being able to pull my mask off. But even with that, it's not enough to beat me!" Dennis said. The others eyes widened at the giant monster but Shun was angry at the monster that destroyed his hometown.
"Battle! Chaos Giant attack Spectral Magician! Crush of Darkness!" Chaos Giant lifted it's arm and smashed my monster sending a lot of force. "GAAAHHH!"
Sekai: 4000-2000
"What's wrong? Are you done already?" Dennis said coldly.
"Tch! I play the trap Spector's Haunt! When a Spectral monster is destroyed by battle, the battle phase ends along that I special summon 2 lv 4 or below Spectral monsters from my deck with their effects negated! Come! Spectral Knight and Spectral Priest!"
Spectral Knight: Lv. 3 DARK Zombie ATK: 1200/ DEF: 0
Spectral Priest: Lv. 4 DARK Zombie ATK: 0/ DEF: 2000
"Of course when this trap is used, I take damage equal to their combined ATK. Grgh!" I endured the cost.
Sekai: 2000-800
"Tch! That trap ends the Battle Phase? Very well then. I end my turn. Face it. You don't have anything to stand up to my monster as it is unaffected by spells or traps." Dennis explained.
Turn 5
Sekai: 800
Hand: 3
Dennis: 1900
Hand: 0
"Dennis. I want to know what you did to Ruri!" I demanded as Shun's eyes widened. Dennis sighed. "You want to know that badly? I only told my comrades about her when I first came to that dimension. Besides, you won't get anything from me." I shadowed my eyes and put my head down. I gripped my hand tightly and declared. "I will defeat you! For Ruri's sake and to destroy Academia for all they've done! MY TURN, DRAW!" I looked at the card I drew and declared.
"I play the spell Star Changer making my Knight's level 3 to 4!"
Spectral Knight Lv: 3-4
"Next, I summon Spectral Baronet!"
Spectral Baronet: Lv. 4 DARK Zombie ATK: 1400/ DEF: 1600
"When this card is summoned, I can double the level of all Spectral monsters until the end of this turn!" Sekai said as all his monsters gained a purple aura.
Spectral Knight Lv: 4-8
Spectral Priest Lv: 4-8
Spectral Baronet Lv: 4-8
I overlay my lv 8 Count, Viscount, and Baronet in order to build the overlay network!" All of Sekai's monsters turned purple before a going into a galaxy portal. "When the doors of despair are opened, a new power is released to oppress all it's enemies! Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 8! Dread-Eyes Despair Dragon!"
Dread-Eyes Despair Dragon: Rank 8 DARK Dragon/Xyz ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2500 OU: 3
My dragon roared as if it wanted to tear up something. "So you want him, huh?" I asked my dragon. "Fine then. Let's do this! I activate the effect of Spectral Priest! When he is used as an Xyz material for an Xyz Summon, I reduce your monster's level or rank by the rank of the Xyz monster used to summon. Dread-Eyes' rank is 8 so therefore Ancient Gear Chaos Giant's level is reduced by 8!" Priest prayed as an aura glowed and reduced the machine's level.
Ancient Gear Chaos Giant Lv: 10-2
"So what? That won't faze me one bit!" Dennis pointed out.
"Oh really?" Dennis became confused. "I activate Dread-Eyes Despair Dragon's special ability! Once per turn by using one overlay unit, all lv 8 or lower monsters are destroyed and it gains half their ATK points until the end of this turn! Despair Howling!" Dread-Eyes chomped an overlay unit and roared sending dark purple waves destroying the gaint machine.
Dread-Eyes Despair Dragon OU: 3-2
Dread-Eyes Despair Dragon ATK: 3000-5250
"5250 ATK points!? Impossible!" Dennis said.
"This! Is for all that you destroyed! My home, my family, and my friends! Battle! Dread-Eyes Despair Dragon attack Dennis directly! Dread Giga Force!" Dread-Eyes fired it's attack at Dennis reducing his LP to zero. "GAAAHHHH!"
Sekai: 800(Winner)
Dennis: 0
I ran to him and grabbed his shirt collar and lifted him up. "Now! You're gonna tell me how to get to Academia or I will beat you up until you tell me!" Just then, Dennis' duel disk flashed as he disappeared. "No! Damn it!" I punched the ground. Just then, a timer was heard as it announced that the Battle Royale is over and the whole field disappeared.
I turned to the others and saw them looking out to someone. I ran over and saw Sora and Yuto's look alike. I then noticed than Sora started to teleport to the Fusion Dimension but it was too late. I heard someone and turned to see someone standing. I assumed that was Reiji Akaba. "Impressive. I have watched of all your duels and it seems all of you are worthy to be part of the Lancers."
"Lancers? What is that supposed to be?
After Reiji explained about the Lancers, Yuya outraged about this challenged Reiji to a duel but lost making him a Lancer by force. After the duel was over, I closed my eyes and was about to walk away until. "You there." I stopped when Reiji spoke.
"I want to speak with you." I turned to him and asked. "What do you want? If this is about the Lancers, then count me out." I declined. "Sekai!"
"Hmm?" I turned to a girl that stared at me. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.
"I just wanted to know...if you know about my brother, Yukimuto Kabuto?" My eyes widened but saddened. "I'm sorry, but I don't even know where he is. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get going." I walked past her but she grabbed my arm to stop me and suddenly she threw me and I landed.
"You're lying! You know where he is! If I can know about the truth by words, then I'll duel you until I know." The girl declared activating her duel disk. I sighed as I had no other choice.
"Alright fine then." I accepted.
"DUEL!"
Turn 1
Sekai: 4000
Hand: 5
Kat: 4000
Hand: 5
"So you're name is Kat, huh?"
"That's right and you better remember! I'll start off! I summon Ventus Falconeer."
Ventus Falconeer: Lv. 4 WIND Winged-Beast ATK: 1400/ DEF: 1100
"And additionally! When I control a WIND monster on my field, I can special summon Ventus Beestriker from my hand!"
Ventus Beestriker: Lv. 3 WIND Insect/Tuner ATK: 1300/ DEF: 300
"I now tune my lv 4 Falconeer with my lv 3 Beestriker!" Beestriker turned into 3 green rings as Monarus went through them. "Phoenix with eyes of fierceness, rise up and blow away everything! Synchro Summon! Flap your wings! Level 7! Ventus Skyress!"
Ventus Skyress: Lv. 7 WIND Winged-Beast/Synchro ATK: 2700/ DEF: 2400
"I'll set one card facedown and end my turn."
Turn 2
Sekai: 4000
Hand: 5
Kat: 4000
Hand: 2
"Kat. You can't just expect me to answer if your brother is okay but I'll give you this. Even though I look like him, doesn't mean that you can think me as him! My turn, draw!"
"When there are no monsters on my field, I special summon Spectral Esquire from my hand in ATK mode!"
Spectral Esquire: Lv. 1 DARK Zombie ATK: 0/ DEF: 0
"When this card is summoned or special summoned, I can add a Spectral card from my deck to my hand. I add Spectral Knight from my deck to my hand. And then I'll summon my Knight!" Sekai declared.
Spectral Knight: Lv. 3 DARK Zombie ATK: 1200/ DEF: 0
"I activate my Knight's effect! Once per turn, I can reduce this card's ATK to zero and make another Spectral monster on my field the same level as this card's until the end of this turn! I make Esquire's lv 3!" Sekai declared as Knight was surrounded with a dark aura as it went to Esquire increasing it's lv.
Spectral Knight ATK: 1200-0
Spectral Esquire Lv: 1-3
"Now I overlay my level 3 Esquire and Knight in order to build the overlay network!" Both monsters turned purple before going into a galaxy portal. "Honorable warrior of the undead king, revive and bring this world back to peace! Xyz Summon! Rise up! Rank 3! Spectral Baron!"
Spectral Baron: Rank 3 DARK Zombie/Xyz ATK: 1800/ DEF: 500 OU: 2
"I activate his effect! Once per turn by using one overlay unit, all monsters except Zombie-Type monsters are destroyed and for each one you take 500 points of damage!" Baron slashed an overlay unit and destroyed Skyress.
Spectral Baron OU: 2-1
"Grgh!"
Kat: 4000-3500
"Battle! Spectral Baron attack Kat's LP directly!" Baron raised it's sword and hit Kat sending her flying. "AAAHHHHH!"
Kat: 3500-1700
I looked down at her with cold eyes as she struggled on the ground trying to get up.
To be continued...
And that's that! When I watched the episode where Dennis confessed that he was from Academia, I started to hate the guy so I decided to just teach him a lesson for leading to the destruction of Heartland. So yeah, the poll results are in! Gee. Only 5 for 5D's, for Zexal is 1, and none for Gx. Oh well. Starting next week, my new story "Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: Accelerate, Riding Duel!" will be published on Fanfic. And this next chapter will conclude the New Arc Challengers and will move on to the Synchro Arc soon. So now, we'll see how things will go. See ya folks because the fun has only just begun!
