(Next morning)
"Good morning, Yuya." Dan greeted Yuya as he entered the kitchen.
"Same here, Dan." Yuya returned the greeting as Yoko placed their breakfast on the table.
"This looks good!" Dan and Yuya began to attack their pancakes at the same time.
"These pancakes are divine!" Dan and Yuya said at the same time as they swallowed a another set.
(After another two sets of pancakes.)
"That hit the spot." Yuya said while Dan just swallowed his last pancake.
"Will you meet us today after school's over at You Show?" Yuya asks Dan who shook his head..
"I will pass it for today." Dan refused Yuya's offer to duel at You Show after class. "I want to explore this Miami City for myself to find out more about this place."
"Suit yourself then, I will be going now." With that, Yuya went to School while Dan went back to their room to pick up his duel disk.
Chapter 3 - A Dragon from the stars! A mysterious challenger vs LDS.
(Later)
Dan walked through the park and saw a lot of people over there.
"There are people dueling over there." Dan said as he saw a few people taking on each other in a duel.
"I attack you directly with Ojama Yellow!" Ojama yellow went to the other side of the field in a comic way, making Dan chuckle at bit.
"I activate my trap!" A person had activated a Mirror Force trap, making Ojama Yellow cry.
"Oh no!" The person who was a victim of the trap complained as he lost in the next turn. "I will win next time."
'The people are having fun dueling in this place.' Dan was getting anxious to duel someone after watching so many people having fun dueling each other. 'I should go ahead and start to look for an opponent as well.'
"AAAaarrrgghhh!" Dan and the people around the park heard a scream and turned to look at the person responsible for the scream just to see two people.
One of them was a tall young man, but what called Dan's attention the most it was his steel sandals. While the other one was a brown haired boy, who was laying down on the ground as his LP just went down to 0.
Unknown - LP: 900-0 x0 - Lose
Unknown - LP: 4000 x0 - Win
"You lost the duel and now I am taking your Deck as proof of my victory over you!" The tall man yelled as he aproached the defeated the boy he just defeated.
"We didn't make any deal." The brown-haired boy said as he was trying to get up. "You just made it up just now!"
"Do you think I care?" The tall man cruelly stepped on the boy with his steel sandal, which hurted the boy's back. "Hand me over your deck!"
"I dont want to!" The boy still refused to give his deck to the bully despite the pain he was feeling after he was stepped on. "This was given to me by my parents as a birthday gift!"
Although he looked composed, rage was all over Dan's eyes at the way that the boy was being treated. One thing was to look down on someone for defeating them in a duel, but stealing another person's deck by force just because he won a duel was completely unforgivable.
"That is enough." Dan said with a dangerous tone as he approached them. "Step away from that boy right now."
"This not your business, so get lost!" The tall young man turned around and slams his right arm at Dan, but his arm got caught by Dan's left gloved hand instead of knocking him away.
"Is violence all that you can resort to in the end?" Dan asked as he griped tightly the the tall young man's wrist and twisted it a bit, making the tall young yell in pain as he threw him a bit away from the boy that he was just stepping just now.
"Are you ok?" Dan kindly asked the boy if he was alright as he checked his condition.
"I am now thanks to you." The boy thanked Dan as he helped him get up. "But the guy that you just threw is a very strong duelist."
"I will be fine." Dan reasures him with a kinder smile. "I will handle that brute."
"How dare you throwing me like that!?" Dan's gaze returned to the giant's who just got up.
"If you have something to say, then we will settle this in a duel." Dan placed his crimson duel disk on his left arm and activated it, revealing a black duel blade.
"Who are you?" The tall young man asks Dan for his name. "I would like to know the same of the insolent fool who got in my way of proving my strengh as a duelist."
"The 'insolent fool's' name is Bashin Dan, so what is yours?" Dan sarcasticly answers his question and asks the same to the giant teenager.
"Ankokuji Gen." Gen introduced himself to Dan as he also activated his duel disk, revealing a dark-purple duel blade.
"No! He will crush you!" The boy tried to warn Dan, but he placed his right hand on his shoulder.
"It will be fine. Watch how I fight." Dan reasures the boy as he takes his hand out of the boy's shoulder and returns his focus on his opponent.
"If I win, I'm taking both of your decks." Gen stated as he had the intention of keeping the boy and Dan's decks if he won the duel.
"But if you loose, you will never show yourself at this park ever again." Dan added as Gen nod in agreement.
"Duel!" Dan and Gen shouted the word at the same time.
Dan - LP: 4000 x5
Gen - LP: 4000 x5
"You can go first, Bashin." Gen states with arrogance in his voice. "You will lose to your monsters in the end."
"In that case, I summon Apollo Bladra!" Apollo Bladra appeared in front of Dan with a cute sound.
Apollo Bladra - (FIRE/ Winged Beast/ ATK: 800/ DEF: 800/ Level 3/ Effect)
"That monster is a weakling." Gen mocks Apollo Bladra, who makes all kinds of sounds in response due to it's anger. "I guess that this duel is going to be over quicker than I originally thought."
"You will not think that when I activate it's effect that allows me to Normal Summon once again." Dan declares as Apollo Bladra's small wings grew began to shine like the sun itself.
"I summon Apollo Igua-Dragoon !" A small emerald scaled dragon, covered with a small plated armor in it's chest with two blue eyes in it's head appeared on the field.
Apollo Igua-Dragoon - (Earth/ Astral Dragon/ ATK: 1400/ DEF: 1200/ Level 4/ Effect)
"While Apollo Igua-Dragoon is on the field, the ATK and DEF of all 'Apollo' monsters I control is increased by 500 all the time." A orange aura covered both Apollo Bladra and Apollo Igua-Dragoon, raising their ATK and DEF.
Apollo Bladra - ATK: 800-1300 / DEF: 800-1300
Apollo Igua-Dragoon - ATK: 1400-1900 / DEF: 1200-1700
"I set one card face-down and end my turn." Dan ended his turn as he set a face-down card on the field.
Dan - LP: 4000 x2
Gen - LP: 4000 x5
"My turn. Draw!" Gen draw his card and grins at Dan. "This is the last turn."
The crowd around them were shocked by Gen's last turn declaration as Dan didn't show any signs of reacting to Gen's words.
"I summon Barbarian # 3 from my hand!" A primitive looking beast that has a blue body appeared on the field with a wild roar.
Barbarian # 3 - (EARTH/ Warrior/ ATK: 1000/ DEF: 700/ Level 3/ Effect)
"I will use it's effect to bring out Barbarian # 4 from my hand as well!" Gen declares as another primitive looking monster appeared on the field, but the difference it was that his body was brown instead of blue.
Barbarian # 4 - (EARTH/ Warrior/ ATK: 1200/ DEF: 900/ Level 4/ Effect)
"Then from my hand I will activate the spell: Dual Summon!" Gen activated a spell card that had the image of a spellcaster summoning Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts that was covered by a bluish aura. "This card allows me to normal summon once again during this turn. Come! Barbarian # 3!"
Another copy of Barbarian # 3 was summoned to the field.
Barbarian # 3 - (EARTH/ Warrior/ ATK: 1000/ DEF: 700/ Level 3/ Effect)
"I tribute all my three monsters to Special Summon Barbarian Mad Shaman from my hand!" The three Barbarian monsters became lights as they went to the sky and joined together to and from it a monster had emerged as it was dancing around Gen like a mad individual.
Barbarian Mad Shaman - (DARK/ Warrior/ ATK: 2000/ DEF: 3000/ Level 10/ Effect)
"Then I will equip it with the Equip Spell, The Strongest Shield!" A maroon colored shield appeared in front of the mad monster who grab while laughting.
"With this Mad Shaman's ATK is always the combined ATK and DEF of this card, while the same applies the other way around." The monster was surrounded by a green aura to demonstrate how powerfull it had become.
Barbarian Mad Shaman - ATK: 2000-5000
"I activate it's effect to take control of your Apollo Igua-Dragoon!" Mad Shaman aimed it's skull hands at Apollo Igua-Dragoon and produced a soundwave. "With this you're finished!"
"Not yet." Dan said as Apollo Igua-Dragoon was doing it's best to resist being taken.
"What are you talking about?" Gen asks in confusion because he doesn't understands what Dan meant with those words.
"The duel is not over yet." Dan added as he saw that his Gen was too overconfident about the current situation. "You are underestimating the power of my monsters."
"So what of it?" Gen spats as he doesn't care about Dan's words. "Your monster will be mine at any second."
"Is that so?" Dan asked Gen with a smirk, leaveing the latter a bit confused by that statement. "Do it, Apollo Igua-Dragoon!"
Apollo Igua-Dragoon opened it's mouth and let out a roar that blew off the sound produced by Mad Shaman's Skull hands.
"What is going on?" Gen, who was confused by this outcome, asks Dan what just happened. "Why hasn't your monster's control changed to me?"
"Apollo Igua-Dragoon negates all opposing monster effects that would choose "Apollo" monsters in their card name as targets." Dan reveals Apollo Igua-Draggon's effect to Gen.
"In that case, Battle!" Gen declares the Battle Phase. "I wi-"
"Wait!" Dan makes a gesture to stop Gen from entering the Battle Phase.
"Before you start the Battle Phase, I will activate my trap card Metaverse!" The image of a cybernetic city appeared on the card. "With this I can take one Field Spell card from my Deck and I can either activate it right away or just add it to my hand, but in this case I will activate Field Spell: Olympium Supression from my Deck!"
Dan took and showed to Gen a card that has the image of a purple Siegfried Apollodragon Braved with another unknown Brave taking on a unknow monster with Bal-Rhinos Braved to it inside a phantom colosseum before activating it.
The scene in the park was still the same, but a ghostly looking collosseum was now above the duelists.
"With this our non-Braved monsters will not be able to declare attack, unless it's controller banishes two cards from their hand at the start of their Battle Phase." Dan calmly explains as chains fell from the collosseum and binded Mad Shaman, restricting it's moves.
"What!?" Gen became furious by this revelation as he had no cards in his hand. "Stop hidding behind your cards, you coward!"
"In order for your monster to attack you must banish two cards from your hand." Dan ignores Gen's outburst as he explains what he needs to do in order to be able to attack once again.
"Tch, I end my turn." Gen ended his turn knowing that there is nothing that he can do. "But you are also going to be restrictred by your own field spell."
Dan - LP: 4000 x2
Gen - LP: 4000 x0
"My turn. Draw!" Dan draws his card and smirks.
"I summon Phoenix-Cannon." A mechanical red phoenix that had two small cannons in it's wings appeared in the sky.
Phoenix-Cannon - (FIRE/ Astral Machine/ Red Brave/ ATK: 1000/ DEF: 1000/ Quality 4/ Brave Boost - 300 ATK/ Effect)
"I will activate it's effect when summoned." Dan declares as Phoenix-Cannon aims his cannons at The Strongest Shield. "I can destroy one Spell or Trap card on the field and the target for this effect is your equip spell, The Strongest Shield that is keeping your monster's ATK increase."
Phoenix-Canoon's cannons fired a couple of red energy bullets that wiped out the maroon shield, returning Barbarian Mad Shaman's ATK back to it's original value as the monster itself laughed.
Barbarian Mad Shaman - ATK: 5000-2000
"M-my strongest shield..." Gen was shocked that someone actually destroyed his shield. "But my Barbarian Mad Shaman is still here!"
'So that is really your Ace monster.' Dan formulated a plan when he saw his hand. 'It's a gamble, but this might work.'
"Without that shield, your Mad Shaman is wide opened for attacks, meaning he will be destroyed." Gen's body trembled a bit.
'As I thought...' Dan thought as he figure it out what to do.
"But it's ATK is still higher than all monsters you have on the field." Gen says as he is still convinced that his monster will not get destroyed during this turn." And even if you used a card from your hand to increase the ATK of your monsters, that field spell of yours would just get in your way.
"In a sense, that is true..." Dan agreed with Gen's words to a certain point. "But it might not be the case after this turn is over."
"I will Brave Phoenix-Cannon with Apollo Igua-Dragoon!" Dan declares as Apollo Igua-Dragoon's dragon wings disappear and jumped into the air as Phoenix-Cannon attached it's body to Apollo Igua-Dragoon's, giving it now the ability to fly as it was now flying in the air.
Apollo Igua-Dragoon - ATK: 1900-2200 / Level: 4-8 /Red
"Brave!?" Gen and the people who were watching the duel, asked with surprised and shocked expressions in their faces.
"Battle!" Dan declared the Battle Phase as Olympium Supression's chains trapped Apollo Bladra inside them. "I won't pay Olympium Supression's banishing cost, sorry Apollo Bladra." Dan apologizes to his monster as Apollo Bladra sulks a bit while trying to free itself.
"I will attack Barbarian Mad Shaman with my Apollo Igua-Dragoon!" Dan declares the attack for Gen and the audience's surprised because the field spell should be preventing Dan's monsters from attacking since he didn't Banish two cards from his hand to pay the cost that would unrestrict his attacks, but it wasn't stopping the Braved monster. "At this timing, I will use Phoenix-Cannon's Braved effect to destroy Olympium Supression, Phoenix Riffle!"
Phoenix-Cannon's cannons fired at the phantasmagoric collosseum that was destroyed, but the chains around Apollo Bladra still didn't vanished.
"Addicionally, Phoenix-Cannon's Brave Boost is increased by 300 for each card that was detroyed by a card effect during this turn until the End Phase of my next turn." Dan informs Gen of Phoenix-Cannon's addicional effect.
Apollo Igua-Dragoon - ATK: 2200-2800
"And I also draw one card for each Braved monster on the field through Olympium Supression's other effect." Dan draws one card.
"Go, Apollo Igua-Dragoon! Brave attack!" The same energy bullets were unleashed and destroyed Mad Shaman who just laughed as it was being destroyed.
Gen - LP: 4000-3200 x0
"Mad Shaman..." Gen's voice shown no signs of wanting to fight back. "Why didn't your field spell prevented your monster from attacking?"
"That is because that field spell only stops non-Braved monsters from attacking." Dan informs about "With this I will set a card face-down and end my turn."
Dan - LP: 4000 x2
Gen - LP: 3200 x0
"My turn..." Gen draws his next card to see if he could still turn this duel around, just to draw another Barbarian Mad Shaman. "I see..." He sighed as he clearly lost the will to continue.
'It's over.' Dan realized that his opponent had completely lost his fighting spirit after seeing his Ace monster destroyed alongside his prided shield and what he drew must have been a bad card.
"I end my turn." Gen had pretty much given up at this point.
Dan - LP: 4000 x2
Gen - LP: 3200 x1
"My turn. Draw!" Dan still drew his card, even knowing that the duel was already over.
"Battle!" Dan declares the Battle Phase. "I will attack you directly with Apollo Bladra!"
Apollo Bladra rushed in a fire blitz and slammed Gen as he was pushed back a bit by it's attack.
Gen - LP: 3200-1900 x1
"Now I will attack you with Apollo Igua-Dragoon." Apollo Igua-Dragoon aimed it's guns at Gen. "Brave attack!"
And fired, pushing Gen to the ground as his LP became 0.
Gen - LP: 1900-0 x1 - Lose
Dan - LP: 4000 x3 - Win
Gen got up and began to leave the park. "It's your win, so I will leave that guy alone."
Dan sighed and decided to challenge another person for a duel, but he was quickly surrounded by a group of random people.
"What is Brave!?" A person asked.
"Is it a new Summoning Method!?" Another person asked.
Dan was getting hammered with more and more questions until.
"That's enough!" Dan, who hd enough of their hellish questioning yelled at his interviewers. "I won't answer what Brave is and questions that are related to it."
"Do you attend a dueling school?" A random person asks if Dan was attending a dueling school.
"Yes, I do attend a dueling school." Dan answered this question.
'This might be a good chance to advertize You Show.' Dan thought about taking advantage of these curious people to make You Show known.
"Are you with LDS?" One of the spectators asked Dan if he was a LDS student because of the way how he handed that brute without losing a single LP.
"I am not affliated with LDS in any way at all." Dan answers the person who asked him that question.
"That can't be..." Another person said with disbelieve in her face. "A duelist of your level should be either from LDS or Ryozanpaku, but you are definitely not the latter since you didn't show their usual violent behaviours during the duel."
"What do you mean by Ryozanpaku's Violent behaviours?" Dan asked and a few of the interviewers told him about Ryozanpaku's duel school, since he barely knew anything about this city. For Dan, this was a golden oportunity to learn more about duel schools asides from You Show and LDS.
What Dan had heard about Ryozanpaku didn't impressed him at all because of how cruel they are when it comes to their questionable human behaviours during life inside and outside of the dueling school.
'Who in the world would sign up their kids to that martial arts dojo that calls itself a dueling school?' It was beyond Dan's comprehension of how a duel school like that was even allowed to exist in Maiami City. 'That place doesn't create Pro Duelists, it only creates tigers who will raise their claws at anyone who approaches them.'
"Then what is the name of the duel school that you are involved with?" The girl who had told Dan about Ryozanpaku, pulled him out of his thoughts when she asked him that question.
"The duel school that I and my friends are applied is the You Show Duel School." Dan proudly said the name of the school that he, Yuya, Yuzu and the kid's trio are applied to.
"I never heard about that Dueling School." One person says as Dan sweatdropped.
"Isn't that the worst Dueling school of them all?" Dan raised his left eyebrow at a strict-looking man who just criticised You Show. "I once heard that they have less than ten students attending it and they can barely keep it going with their funds."
"Don't judge the quality of duelists produced just by looking at a school's name!" Dan yells at him as he doesn't understand how people can just judge a teaching place for the number of people that are applied. "The number of duelists that are produced in a duel school doesn't mean that they will have good quality when it comes to dueling."
"What about future plans?" Another question came.
"Do you intend to enroll in LDS?" Dan left the park as the crowd tried to follow him to bug him with more questions and questions.
"Brave, huh?" A teenager said as he saw Dan leaving the park.
The teenager has blue hair that spikes up on the side, and his eyes are blue. He is also wearing an orange hair band in his head. He was dressing a blue sleeveless shirt and white pants with brown boots as his footgear and fingerless gloves in his hands.
"I dueled a lot of people before, but that person was completely different from all my opponents." The teenager said as he was impressed by Dan's dueling skills. "Bashin Dan and You Show Duel School, was it?"
It took four hours for Dan to lose his chasers as his appetite was leveled up to maximum as a result from having to hide from them for hours.
"I am back." Dan smiled as he had returned to Sakaki's residence to see Sakaki Yoko making dinner to four people...four people? "Do we have a guest coming here tonight?"
"You're back, senpai !" A short young boy with light cyan hair that is tied up and spiked out suddenly appeared in front of Dan, leaving him clueless about who the person in front of him was. "You are kind of late."
"Who are you?" Dan asks the cyan-haired boy for his identity. "And what do you mean by 'senpai' ?"
"My name is Shiun'in Sora." The cyan-haired boy called Shiun'in Sora introduced himself to Dan. "And I have just became Yuya's disciple as you can see, so technically that makes me your kouhai since you live with teacher."
"I am not your teacher, Sora!" Dan heard Yuya's yell as he arrived downstairs and saw the Brave duelist. "Welcome back, Dan."
"Disciple? When and how did that happen?" Dan asks Yuya about the events that transpired with Sora while he was out.
"You see..." Yuya explained to Dan about what happened while he was out. It turned out that Sora had been following them around since yesterday because he happened to see Dan's Brave during his duel against Sawatari and that made him very curious about it since he never heard about that form of Fusion before, so he had originally came to You Show to meet and duel Dan to see it again, but he took part in an Action Duel against Yuya to kill some time and he was very impressed by Yuya's entertainment duel.
"So, you're saying that Sora was so impressed by your Pendulum Summon that he wanted to become your disciple?" Yuya nod with a sigh as Dan was having a hard time to believe that Sora had only aproached Yuya to be his disciple since he was his original target.
"Are you absolutely sure that you are not another card sucking parasite sent by LDS to steal Yuya's Pendulum cards like Sawatari Shingo?" Dan asked Sora just to be sure.
"Don't compare to to those lame guys from yesterday, senpai." Sora pouted as he felt a bit insulted at being compared to a LDS student, specially one like Sawatari Shingo. "I am not one of those card sucking leeches who likes to pick on others who can't even fight back for no reason at all."
'He seems to be telling the truth, but just to make sure.' Dan wanted to make sure that Sora wasn't some spy sent by LDS.
"Why are you even here instead of being at home?" Dan asks since Sora should be staying at home instead of being here.
"My home is very far away. So I am currently travelling as a part of my training to become a better duelist." Sora magnificly dodges the first question.
"Where do you live exactly?" Dan pressures even further since Sora completely avoided saying where he was from.
"Far away." Sora avoids the second question.
"Did you study at a Duel School?" Dan asked the one and most regular question that someone would make to a duelist who is not an adult.
"Yes." Sora aswers as he nods his head.
"Which one did you attend?" Dan fires another question.
"I am not remembering right now." Sora avoided another hit.
Dan made a small series of questions about Sora, but all that he got out of Sora's mouth were either 'I don't remember' kind of answers or intentionally avoided answers that had nothing to do with the questions.
"By the way." Sora had the face of 'another question?' as he was doing his best to avoid giving direct answers about his personal life to Dan.
"What is tonight's dinner?" Dan asked Yuya and Sora, who made an anime fall at the question that was made.
"We are having curry with lots of sweet carrots to celebrate Sora's homecoming." Yuya answered while Sora was looking forward to eat Curry with a lot of sweet desserts afterwards.
"That sounds delicious." Dan was looking forwards to eat right now. "Curry is the best!"
"Yuya, Dan-kun, Sora-kun! Dinner's ready!" Yoko called out to the three boys as they went to eat.
"Let's go and eat for now." With that the trio went to the kitchen and ate a delicious meal of curry together.
(Next Sunday at You Show)
"Yuya, Dan and Sora are late." Yuzu complains as she is waiting for them with Tatsuya, Ayu and Futoshi.
"It can't be helped, it's a Sunday, so they were probably sleeping until later." Futoshi says as he was a bit sleepy as well.
"I swear that if those three don't get here in five minutes, they will get a hit from my paper fan". Yuzu says with her paper fan raised.
A few seconds the entrance's door was opened.
"Is this You Show Duel School?" The same blue-haired teenager from yesterday entered inside You Show and asked when he saw Yuzu talking with Tatsuya, Futoshi and Ayu.
"Yes, this is You Show Duel School." Yuzu answers the blu-haired teenager's question. "Is there something you need?"
"Where can I find Bashin Dan?" He went straight to the point and boldly asks Yuzu for Dan's whereabouts. "I know that he attends this duel school, so don't lie!"
"What's with that attitude and why are you looking for Dan?" Yuzu asks the blue-haired teenager why he wanted to see Dan while being a bit mad by his bluntness.
"Yuzu! We're here." Yuya had arrived with Dan and Sora. When they entered, they saw a blue-haired teenager that they didn't recognize. "Who's this, Yuzu?"
The blue-haired teenager turned to look at all You Show's students, specially Dan.
"My name is Youth Grynnhorn." The blue-haired teenager introduced himself as Youth. "But you can call me Youth."
"Youth..." Blurry images of someone with a simillar silhouette as Youth's was show in Dan's mind when he heard his name.
"But why are you here?" Yuya's question took Dan out of his daydreaming.
"He said that he was looking you, Dan." Yuzu answered Yuya's question while looking at Dan who was stil trying to figure it out why Youth's name sounded so familiar to him.
'I can think about that later, but now.' Dan placed his thoughts asides and looked straight at Youth in the eyes, "Did you need something from me?" and asked him what he wanted from him.
"I am here to-" Youth was about to say what he wanted to duel him, when suddenly.
"Here to apply for our school!?" Shuzo suddenly appeared in front of Youth with a full set of papers and a pen, making him fall back. "Sign here and here!"
"Dad..." Yuzu's face was red from shame at her father's sudden intrusion as the others sighed.
"Who is this coach looking person?" Youth asked who Shuzo was as he got up and recovered from the sudden scare given to him by the person who he believed to be some coach.
"He may not look like it..." Dan made a deadpan face as he answered Youth's question with a sigh. "...but he is the current headmaster of You Show Duel School."
"Ehhhh!?" Youth was shocked that Shuzo was actually the one in charge around here and pointed his finger at him that was slowly trembling from disbelieve. "How can this irresponsible looking person be in charge of a Duel School !?"
"Hey, didn't Dan said something similar when he first met Shuzo-san." Yuya sweatdrops as Dan nods his head in agreement with Youth's words.
"I know that it doesn't seems like it , but he really is this Duel School's headmaster." Sora affirms that Shuzo is indeed the headmaster of You Show Duel School.
"If you say so..." Youth still had it's doubts about Shuzo's position as the headmaster of You Show and asked just to be sure. "Are you absolutely sure that he is not some coach that this school hired?"
Shuzo fainted as he felt to the floor as he was carried to the bench by Yuya and Dan.
"Now that Shuzo-san is no longer interrupting us." Dan turns to Youth and looked at him straight in the eyes once again, "Why did you want to see me?" and asked what he wanted to see him.
"The reason of why I wanted to see you is because I want to duel you right here, Bashin Dan!" Youth challenged Dan to a duel.
"I became interest in you when I saw your duel against that ruffian." Youth explains why he wanted to duel Dan. "What really called my attention about you the most wasn't those Braves that you've used in the duel, but your strength as a duelist."
"My strength as a duelist?" Dan asked in confusion at Youth's words about strength.
"The way you handled him without even losing a single LP while preparing the perfect field for any situation that would come is one of the few things that I like to see in a duelist." Youth said to Dan tightning his right fist. "I was looking for an opponent like you for a long time, so what do you say about a du-"
"Not so fast!" Youth was suddenly interrupted by someone's yelling.
Everyone turned in the direction where that yell came from and saw a tall and slim looking purple-haired teenager person who was wearing something made him almost look like a clown.
"Who are you?" Yuya asks who the newcomer was.
"I am Shijima Hokuto, LDS's top student of the Xyz Course." The clown looking person introduced himself as Shijima Hokuto.
"LDS!?" Everyone except for Dan, Youth, and Sora yelled the name of the number one dueling school.
"I came here by orders from the president to invite Bashin Dan to LDS." Hokuto says with a proudfull smirk.
'The president of LDS?' Dan and Sora thought at the same time.
"So what do you say about leaving this junkyard of a school and come with me to LDS?" Hokuto suggests this to Dan in hopes of luring him to LDS.
Dan waited a few seconds to consider his answer.
"Don't tell me that you are actually considering this?" Yuya asks with shock in his face.
"My answer to your request is...get out of here." Dan's response left everyone surprised, except Sora.
"Huh?" Hokuto didn't understood what was Dan's deal.
"Not only you rudely interrupted our conversation by barking inside of You Show Dueling School, but you also had the nerve to insult this place." Dan states with his serious look as he answers Hokuto's question. "So, get out of You Show and never come back again."
"How dare you, a nobody from You Show looking down on me, the best duelist of LDS's Xyz Course!?" Hokuto gritted his teeth and placed his tablet device on his left arm. "I will show you some manners, Bashin Dan!"
"I was first on the line!" Youth wasn't pleased at Hokuto's atempt to get to duel Dan before him "Your turn can wait."
"Then we will settle this matter with a duel between us. The winner gets to duel Bashin Dan." Hokuto suggests to Youth that the winner would get to duel Dan, believing that he wouldn't lose to him.
Youth said nothing for a few seconds, "Fine..." and agreed to duel.
"I will go to the control room and activate the Action Field." Yuzu was about to go until Dan stopped her with a gesture.
"No Action Field for this duel." Dan calmly states with closed eyes as the others gave him weird looks.
"Why? Afraid that your friend over there loses?" Hokuto asks while taunting Dan and Youth.
"If we use an Action Field, we won't know which one of them is the better duelist in terms of skill." Dan ignores Hokuto's statement while explaining why he didn't want an Action Duel.
"If any of you two want to duel me, then you will follow this simple condition." Dan stated as he made the condition for the duel very clear.
"I guess that's true..." Yuya agreed as Youth and Hokuto went to the duel field.
"Is that it?" Hokuto wasn't impressed in the slightest by You Show's dueling field. "The dueling fields that we have at LDS are way bigger than this crappy space." He states with a bit of arrogance.
Hokuto activated his purple duel disk, revealing a blue blade and turned to Youth with a smirk. "You will regret getting in my way."
"I can say the same here." Youth calmly replies as he turns his crimson duel disk, revealing a dark blue blade.
"So far I have won every single duel ever since I mastered LDS's Xyz Summon, and it was fourty duels in a row." Hokuto informs Youth of his victory record ever since he became capable of Xyz Summon. "This will be victory number fourty one and fourty two after I am through with you and Bashin Dan."
"Let's get this over with." Youth ignored Hokuto's declaration.
"Duel!" Youth and Hokuto shouted at the same time.
Youth - LP: 4000 x5
Hokuto - LP: 4000 x5
"He earlier said that he was the best student of LDS's Xyz summon Course." Futoshi states as he remembered Hokuto's previous words when he introduced himself. "So he must be a strong duelist."
"He might lose this duel." Tatsuya says as he agrees with Futoshi. "Unlike Sawatari, this guy must have some real dueling skills if he managed to get to the top of LDS's Xyz Course.
"Don't count him out of this yet, the duel is never over until the last card is played." Dan states. "Besides, this is a good oportunity to see the full extend of his skills against someone from LDS."
"Yeah." Yuya and Sora agreed with Dan.
"With this, we will see how good LDS's duelists actually are." Yuzu said as she, Tatsuya, Futoshi and Ayu were looking at them both.
"You don't mind if I will go first, right?" Hokuto asks Youth if he can take the first turn of the duel.
"Do as you want. I don't care." Youth gace the first turn to Hokuto.
"I summon Sacred Pullux!" A warrior with a half gold and white body, carrying a sword in it's gold half appeared on the field.
Sacred Pollux - (LIGHT/ Warrior/ ATK: 1700/ DEF: 600/ Level 4/ Effect)
"I will activate it's effect to normal summon once again during this turn." Sacred Pollux raised it's sword that revealed a bright light.
"Now I summon Sacred Kaust!" From the light, a white centaurus came out and appeared on the field.
Sacred Kaust - (LIGHT/ Beast-Warrior/ ATK: 1800/ DEF: 700/ Level 4/ Effect)
"I activate Kaust's effect twice to raise the level of both my monsters on the field by one." Kaust aimed and fired two arrows at the sky that made a rain of light shower his monsters as his and Pollux Levels were increased by 1.
Sacred Pollux - Level: 4-5
Sacred Kaust - Level: 4-5
"He now has two Level 5 monsters on his field." Sora states since it was obvious to him and Dan what Hokuto's next move was going to be. "It's coming."
"Don't tell me that it's..." Yuzu begins to say as she realized what would come.
"...Xyz Summon." Dan finishes her words.
"I overlay my Level 5 Sacred Pollux and Sacred Kaust!" Hokuto declared as both of his Sacred monsters became yellow orbs of light and entered a galaxy portal that emerged from the ground in front of him.
"Light of the stars, shake the earth and descend upon! Xyz Summon! Rank 5, Sacred Pleiades!" Hokuto chants as a golden monster that looked like a knight two yellow orbs of light swirling around it in different directions has emerged from the galaxy portal.
Sacred Pleiades - (LIGHT/ Warrior/ Xyz/ ATK: 2500/ DEF: 1500/ Rank 5/ Effect) ORU: 2
"This is Xyz." Yuya comments at his first sight of an Xyz monster.
"Rank, it's not a Level?" Tatsuya asked when he took notice that the monster that was summoned did not had a level like always.
"You don't even know about that?" Sora was surprised at their lack of knowledge about Xyz monsters.
"When you Xyz Summon, you must use the required number of monsters on the field that have the same Level as the Rank of the Xyz monster you want to Special Summon from your Extra Deck to the field." Sora explained to everyone around with a sigh. "Xyz monsters have Ranks instead of Levels."
"What are those lights swirling around that Xyz monster?" Ayu asks Sora about Sacred Pleiades Overlay units.
Sora was about to explain that as well, but Dan was the one who answered instead.
"Those lights that are swirling around Pleiades are Overlay units." Dan explains what overlay units are. "When a monster is used for an Xyz Summon, they do not leave the field, instead they become a new power to the Xyz monster that they were used to summon, in other words they become overlay units for the Xyz monster that can activate certain effects that requires to use up a certain required number of overlay units. When the Xyz monster leaves the field, they are sent to the graveyard. But the color of the Overlay units are always determined by the Attribute of the monster that was used as an Xyz Material, for example: a DARK attributed monster would become a dark colored overlay unit as a FIRE attributed monster, the overlay unit would have a red color instead."
"Amazing!" Everyone including Sora were impressed by Dan's explanation about overlay units.
"With this, I end my turn." Hokuto ended his turn.
Youth - LP: 4000 x5
Hokuto - LP: 4000 x3
"My turn. Draw!" Youth draws his card.
"I summon Photon Lizard." A small dragon that almost looked like a reptile was summoned to the field.
Photon Lizard - (LIGHT/ Dragon/ ATK: 900/ DEF: 1200/ Level 3/ Effect)
"A Photon monster?" Yuzu was a bit surprised by the monster that was summoned, so were the others. "I've never heard about that archetype, what about you guys?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"I heard about it once." Shuzo was the one who answered. "That is a very rare archetype."
"You know about it?" Dan looked at Shuzo and asked what he knew about this archetype. "What does it do?"
"I heard that this archetype consists of summoning LIGH atributted monsters to the field , but I haven't heard much about them since they are very rare and hard to come by."
"This could be very interesting." Dan eyes showed a fire that indicated how much he wanted to duel Youth after this was over. "I am looking forward to see how this duel will turn out."
"I activate it's monster effect." Youth declared the effect activation as Photon Lizard broke apart. "By tributing this monster, I can add one Level 4 or lower "Photon" monster from my deck to my hand."
"I add the Level 4 Photon Thrasher to my hand." Youth takes and shows Photon Thrasher's card from his deck to Hokuto before adding it it to his hand.
"But he won't be staying in my hand for long, because if I don't control a monster on my field, I can Special Summon it from my hand. Come, Photon Thrasher!" A one red-eyed blue warrior whose arms and legs are flowing with bluish energy as some parts of it's body are covered with blue armor, made it's appearance on the field.
Photon Thrasher - (LIGHT/ Warrior/ ATK: 2100/ DEF: 0/ Level 4/ Effect)
"Next I will target Photon Thrasher to activate the normal spell: Photon Duplicate !" A card revealed the image of a duelist holding a Photon Thrasher's card while another blue colored copy of the same card was in front of him. "This card allows me to add 1 "Photon" monster with the same name as the target in my field from my deck to my hand."
Youth touches his duel disk's screen and another copy of Photon Thrasher card is added from his Deck to his hand and shows it to Hokuto.
"Then I will proceed to the Battle Phase." Youth declares the Battle Phase. "I attack Sacred Pleiades with Photon Thrasher."
Photon Thrasher raised it's weapon and started to go straight to the Xyz monster with the intention to cut it.
"Attacking a monster that has 2500 ATK with another monster that only has 2100 ATK?" Futoshi didn't understood why Youth declared an attack against a monster that was stronger.
"Youth has another purpose to make this attack." Dan answered Futoshi's question. "It's a bluff."
"It makes sense..." Sora understood right away Dan's trail of thought about the real purpose behind Youth's reckless attack. "So that's how it is."
"What are you two talking about?" Yuya didn't understand what was really going on.
"You will see it soon enough." Dan states to his friend as he was watching the duel with a lot of interest in Youth's play. "...unless this Shijima manages to catch on to Youth's bluff."
'Why attacking Pleiades with a weaker monster?' Hokuto was also trying to understand the real reason behind Youth's attack. 'Unless he some card to raise his monster's ATK in his hand.' Hokuto concludes, without even suspecting that this was merely a bluff to lure him into wasting one of Pleiades overlay units.
"I activate Sacred Pleiades effect!" Hokuto declares as Dan and Sora shook their heads while muttering 'he fell for it'.
"By using one overlay unit, I can return one card on the field to it's owner's hand." Hokuto smugly points at Photon Thrasher, who is still on it's path to strike down Pleiades. "I chose to return your Photon Trasher to your hand."
Pleiades consumed the Xyz material as his weapon unleashed a light that blinded Photon Thrasher before it vanished from the field.
Youth took the card from his duel blade and added it to his hand without showing a sign of being worried.
Sacred Pleiades - ORU: 2-1
"In that case, I will proceed to the Main Phase 2 and Special Summon my Photon Thrasher back to the field." Youth re-summons Photon Thrasher to the field once again.
Photon Thrasher - (LIGHT/ Warrior/ ATK: 2100/ DEF: 0/ Level 4/ Effect)
"I set one card face-down and end my turn." Youth sets one card face-down and ends his turn.
Youth - LP: 4000 x4
Hokuto - LP: 4000 x3
"I still don't understand what happened?" Yuya asks as he looks at Dan and Sora. "Can you just explain why you two said that guy fell for it?"
"It's very simple, Teacher." Sora was the one who decided to fill them in what his and Dan's prediction from earlier was all about. "Youth has decieved that guy into doing a misplay by wasting one of Pleiades's overlay units to return his monster back to his back, when in reality, he had nothing to use against him."
"But why did he used Pleiades's effect if that was the case." Tatsuya asks Sora.
"It's because he didn't know that Youth was making a bluff with that attack." Dan explains to Tatsuya about Hokuto's big miscalculation. "He was only trying to determine his opponent's reaction to the attack. And thanks to what he did, Youth now has a full grasp of how good Shijima Hokuto actually is."
"What would have happened if he had failed to trick that LDS duelist?" Yuzu asks.
"He also took that into consideration, so he activated Photon Duplicate to add another Photon Thrasher in case that guy wouldn't fall for his bluff." Sora explains how far Youth predicted what could have happened if it ever came to that. "At worst, he would have only lost 500 LP and his opponent would just use an Overlay unit to return one Spell or Trap card that was set at the End Phase of that turn."
Dan nod in agreement with every word that Sora just said.
Youth - LP: 4000 x3
Hokuto - LP: 4000 x3
"My turn. Draw!" Hokuto draws his card.
"Once again, I will summon Sacred Pullux!" Another Sacred Pollux appeared on the field.
Sacred Pollux - (LIGHT/ Warrior/ ATK: 1700/ DEF: 600/ Level 4/ Effect)
"I will activate it's effect to normal summon once again during this turn." Sacred Pollux did the same as last time.
"Come, Sacred Kaust!" The white centaurus returned to the field
Sacred Kaust - (LIGHT/ Beast-Warrior/ ATK: 1800/ DEF: 700/ Level 4/ Effect)
"Those monsters." Yuya comments at the sight off the same monsters from Hokuto's previous turn.
"I will use Kaust's effect twice to raise the level of both my monsters on the field by one." Kaust fired two arrows at the sky that made a rain of light shower his monsters as his and Pollux Levels were increased by 1 once again.
Sacred Pollux - Level: 4-5
Sacred Kaust - Level: 4-5
"Two Level 5 monsters again." Yuzu says with surprise. "Don't tell me that he is going to?"
"He is going to do the same as last turn." Dan answers Yuzu's question.
"I overlay my Level 5 Sacred Pollux and Sacred Kaust!" Hokuto declared as both of his Sacred monsters once again, becames yellow orbs of light and entered a galaxy portal that emerged from the ground in front of him.
"Light of the stars, shake the earth and descend upon, Xyz Summon! Rank 5, Sacred Pleiades!" Hokuto chanted as another Sacred Pleiades emerged from the galaxy portal with two yellow orbs of light swirling around it.
Sacred Pleiades - (LIGHT/ Warrior/ Xyz/ ATK: 2500/ DEF: 1500/ Rank 5/ Effect) ORU: 2
I activate Sacred Pleiades effect!" Hokuto declares as Pleiades consumed the Xyz material as his weapon unleashed a light on the field.
Sacred Pleiades - ORU: 1-0
"By using one overlay unit, I can return one card on the field to it's owner's hand." Hokuto points at Youth's facedown card. "I will return that card you've set during your last turn." Pleiades consumed it's last overlay unit as he was about to repeat it's previous action.
'Now!' Youth knew that the right timing had come and touched the target card in his duel disk's screen.
"I will respond to that by activating the Trap, Breakthrough Skill!" A card with the image of Evolkaiser Dolkka breaking an amber barrier is shown "With this I can choose one of your monsters and until the end phase of this turn, it's effects are negated."
"My target is naturally the Sacred Pleiades that has two overlay units." Youth declares the newly summoned Sacred Pleiades as the target.
"What?" Hokuto gasped as Sacred Pleiades lost it's color, making it silver gray.
"Good move." Sora comments Youth's play. "He made that guy misfire the effect and now he can't return his monster back to it's hand."
"Not only that, but he also reduced any addicional damage that he would this turn." Dan added as he now knew that Hokuto couldn't finish off Youth during this turn. "There will be a chance for Youth to turn the tides during his next turn."
"If I can't defeat you this turn, then I will chip your LP away." Hokuto declares as a card popped out of his duel disk's Extra Deck compartment. "By using the Sacred Pleiades without overlay units, I can Xyz Summon this card to my field." The Sacred Pleiades that had no Overlay units became a yellow light ord as it entered inside another galaxy portal that appeared in front of him.
"He's Xyz Summoning again!?" Futoshi asks in shock as Yuya, Yuzu, Ayu and Tatsuya had the same look on their faces.
"The dazzling light falls down, Xyz Summon! Rank 6, Sacred Ptolemys Messier 7!" Hokuto chanted as a golden armored dragon emerged from the galaxy portal that had one yelllow orb of light swirling around it.
Sacred Ptolemys Messier 7 - (LIGHT/ Dragon/ Xyz/ ATK: 2700/ DEF: 2000/ Rank 6/ Effect) ORU: 1
"Didn't you just told us that Xyz Summon required monsters with the same Level on the field?" Yuya asks Sora while pointing at Hokuto's new monster. "How do you explain what he did just now!?"
"What he did is an advanced form of Xyz Summon know as Xyz Change." Sora answers Yuya's question. "There are certain Xyx monsters that can be Xyz Summoned by using other Xyz monsters as materials, and this one is such case."
"Is there anything else that we should know?" Yuya asked Sora to make sure that there aren't any extra surprises in store when it came to Xyz monsters.
"I have already covered everything that is know about Xyz Summon." Sora concludes as he already told everyone what he knew about Xyz Summon.
"You're wrong, Sora." Sora turned to Dan, revealing genuine surprise at his words. "Asides from that form of Xyz Summon, there are two more advanced ways of summoning an Xyz monster, and those are done through cards that allows you to perform a Rank-Up or Rank-Down Xyz Change to summon a Xyz monster with a higher or lower Rank."
"Rank-Up and Rank-Down!?" Sora was shocked at hearing this advanced term of Xyz Summon. "This is the first time that I've learned of those terms."
"I am only saying what I currently remember." Dan states as his memories are still foggy when it came to certain dueling subjects.
"What kind duelist were you in the past?" Sora probes further to learn more about his senpai. "There is no way that a duelist like you wouldn't have caught any attention in the dueling world."
"I don't 'remember' just like you." Dan's reply made it clear that Sora was hidding something.
Sora didn't replied to avoid returning to his interrogation subject.
"Battle!" Hokuto declares the Battle Phase. "I will attack your Photon Thrasher with Sacred Pleiades!" Sacred Pleiades attacked and destroyed Photon Thrasher.
Youth - LP: 4000-3600 x3
"Now, I will attack you directly with Sacred Ptolemys Messier 7!" Ptolemys fired a gold beam of light at Youth, knocking him a few metters to the floor.
Youth - LP: 3600-900 x3
"Youth's LP are low." Yuya mutters. "He will lose at this rate."
Youth got up and sighed at the current situation.
'I suspected as much ever since you fell for my bluff.' Youth was disappointed by the skills of the called best duelist of LDS's Xyz Course. 'But this is all that you amount to in the end.'
Youth took a look at a card in his hand, it was a Kuriphoton monster card.
Kuriphoton - (LIGHT/ Fiend/ ATK: 300/ DEF: 200/ Level 1/ Effect)
'I could have reduced my damage by a lot, but it wasn't worth it because I don't want to show all my cards to that person yet.' Youth looks at Dan and their gazes met.
"You may have survived this turn, but with only 900 LP remaining you'll be finished in my next turn." Hokuto proudly states, "I end my turn." and ended his turn.
Youth - LP: 900 x3
Hokuto - LP: 4000 x2
"My turn. Draw!" Youth draws his card.
'It's over.' Youth privately thought when he saw the card he drew.
"I activate the Trap, Breakthrough Skill's effect from my graveyard!" Youth declares as the card appeared on the field before disappearing in particles. "By banishing this card from my graveyard, I can choose one of your monsters and until the end phase of this turn, it's effects are negated. And my target is once again the Sacred Pleiades that has two overlay units."
"Not again!" Hokuto complained as Sacred Pleiades lost it's colors once again.
"Now that annoying effect is now out of the way, I Special Summon Photon Thrasher from my hand!" Youth summoned a new Photon Thrasher to the field.
Photon Thrasher - (LIGHT/ Warrior/ ATK: 2100/ DEF: 0/ Level 4/ Effect)
"I summon Photon Crusher." A monster who like Photon Thrasher was one red-eyed but his color parts were green instead of blue and it was more bulkier, appeared on the field armed with a dual club.
Photon Crusher - (LIGHT/ Warrior/ ATK: 2000/ DEF:0/ Level 4/ Effect)
"Those two monsters are not enough to beat my Xyz monsters." Hokuto states as Youth's monsters did not have enough ATK to destroy his weakest monster.
"Who said that I was going to defeat you with these monsters?" Youth asks to Hokuto. "Take a closer look at the field."
"At the field?" Hokuto realizes something important. "Wait, you have two Level 4 monsters on the field."
"Is he going to Xyz Summon?" Yuzu asked Dan if Youth was going to Xyz Summon.
"We don't know it yet." Dan answers Yuzu's question.
"Who talked about Xyz?" Youth's question confused Hokuto and the other spectators.
"The summoning conditions of my Ace monster are to tribute two monsters with 2000 or more ATK and it must be Special Summoned by this method first, otherwise it can't be summoned." Youth expalined the summoning conditions of his Ace monster.
"What kind of monster has such Summoning conditions?" Even Dan and Sora were wondering what kind monster was going to be summoned.
"I will tribute Photon Thrasher and Photon Crusher!" Both of Youth's monsters vanished in particles that were combined into a black-purple star that was grabbed by Youth's right hand.
"His Ace monster is a star?" Ayu asks when she saw that Youth's monster was a star.
'That star must be his monster's sealed form.' Dan privately thought as he noticed that Youth's Ace monster must be quite powerfull if the summoning requirements were this severe.
"Embodiment of light, descend upon us!" Youth chanted as he threw the star into the air and cosmic energy gathered on the spinning star. "Appear now, Level 8! Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"
The star gathered energy until it exploded and from inside of the explosion, a dragon made of bluish energy covered in black-purple armor pieces came out and unleshed a mighty roar.
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon - (LIGHT/ Dragon/ ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2500/ Level 8/ Effect)
"Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon..." Dan muttered the dragon's name as his soul was getting more and more anxious. "That is his Ace monster. I can barelly contain my desire to fight it..."
"Hot-blooded!" Shuzo aproved Youth's Galaxy-Eyes hot-bloodiness.
"That gives me the shivers!" Dan's body trembled like a jelly once again.
'For some reason those words makes my body tremble.' Dan privately thought as he didn't understand why his body acted like that at the mention of the 'shivers' word.
"I have to admit it, that is a impressive looking monster, but it won't be enough to beat me." Hokuto praises Youth's Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon.
"Battle! I attack your Sacred Pleiades with Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!" Youth declares the Battle Phase and orders Galaxy-Eyes to attack Sacred Pleiades. "Photon Stream of Destruction!"
The Photon dragon began to charge bluish energy in it's chest and fired from it's mouth the stored energy.
"I will activate my Trap, Photonize!" The image of the card reveals Alien Warrior being turned into light particles that are absorved by Bountifull Artemis. "With this, not only your Galaxy-Eyes's attack is negated, but it's ATK is also added to one of my LIGHT atributted monster's and I chose Sacred Pleiades.
Galaxy-Eyes's Photon Stream of Destruction began to be absorbed by Pleiades.
"I respond to that activation by using Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's effect!" Youth declares as both Galaxy-Eyes and Sacred Pleiades vanished from the field as the overlay units that were left behind were sent to Hokuto's graveyard.
"What happened to our monsters?" Hokuto was confused by what just happened to his and Youth's monster.
"Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon can banish itself alongside the monster that it battles until the end of the Battle Phase." Youth explains Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's effect as everyone was surprised by it.
'An effect that can banish monsters that battles against it.' Dan figured right away that Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's effect was a serious threat in many ways.
'That monster is an Xyz killer.' Sora concludes after seeing Galaxy-Eyes's effect in action. 'Even if that guy's Xyz monster returned to his field, it would have no Overlay units.'
"I will just use Sacred Ptolemys Messier 7's effect to return that dragon of yours to your hand during my next turn and you are finished." Hokuto says with a smirk.
"There will be no next turn, I am ending this now." Youth cooly states as he reveals a card to Hokuto. "From my hand I activate Dimension Wanderer's effect."
Dimension Wanderer - (LIGHT/ Spellcaster/ ATK: 0/ DEF:0/ Level 1/ Effect)
"When a monster I control is banished by a card effect, by discarting this card, the combined ATK of two banished monsters are dealt as damage to my opponent." Youth explains as ghostly versions of Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and Sacred Pleiades appeared above Hokuto. " In other words, you will take 5500 points of damage."
"5500 damage!?" Everyone, including Dan and Sora were impressed by this.
"My fourty one's consecutive win-!" Both ghostly versions of the monsters exploded as that same took out all of Hokuto's LP in one hit, ending his long streak of victories.
Hokuto - LP: 4000-0 x2 - Lose
Youth - LP: 900 x0 - Win
"He defeated him in a One turn kill." Yuya's eyes were filled with shock and disbelieve that someone from LDS was defeated in a single turn.
"I-I don't believe that I lost..." Hokuto says in disbelieve that his victory streak was finally ended.
"Victory records do not mean anything if you don't work hard enough to polish your skills." Youth says to Hokuto.
"I see..." With that Hokuto left the dueling field and You Show.
"Now, that the interruption is gone." Youth turns to Dan who entered the room with his disk activated. "Duel me, Bashin Dan!"
"Yeah!" Dan accepts Youth's challenge.
"Duel!" Both of them shouted.
Dan - LP: 4000 x5
Youth - LP: 4000 x5
"This time I will go first." Youth decided to go first.
"I Special Summon Photon Thrasher!" Photon Thrasher was summoned to the field.
Photon Thrasher - (LIGHT/ Warrior/ ATK: 2100/ DEF: 0/ Level 4/ Effect)
"I summon Photon Crusher!" Photon Crusher also appeared on the field.
Photon Crusher - (LIGHT/ Warrior/ ATK: 2000/ DEF: 0/ Level 4/ Effect)
'Two monsters with 2000 or more ATK are now on his field.' Dan thought about the previous duel just now. 'It's coming.'
"I tribute Photon Thrasher and Photon Crusher!" Both of Youth's monsters vanished in particles that combined into a black-purple star that was grabbed by Youth's right hand.
"His Ace monster is coming." Yuya says as Youth throws the black-purple star into the air.
"That dragon from earlier." Yuzu mutters as she knew that Galaxy-Eyes was going to be summoned.
"Embodiment of light, descend upon us!" Youth chanted as cosmic energy gathered on the spinning black-purple star once again. "Appear now, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon came out of the explosion with a mighty roar.
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon - (LIGHT/ Dragon/ ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2500/ Level 8/ Effect)
"It's here..." Dan says as he made his usual smile when dueling. "His ace monster."
'How are you going to deal with a monster like this, Bashin Dan?' Sora thinks as he sees Dan's smile.
"Now that I summoned my Ace monster, do the same as well." Youth demands to Dan to do the same.
"Come! Galaxy-Eyes!" Dan challenges with his duel smile.
Apollo Igua-Dragoon - (EARTH/ Astral Dragon/ ATK: 1400/ DEF: 1200/ Level 4/ Effect)
All 'Apollo' monsters on the field gains 500 ATK/DEF. Your opponent's monster cards effects that would target "Apollo" monster(s) on the field are negated.
Olympium Supression - Field Spell

If this card leaves the field; Draw 1 card for each Braved monster on the field.
Phoenix-Cannon - (FIRE/ Astral Machine/ Red Brave/ ATK: 1000/ DEF: 1000/ Quality 4/ Brave Boost - 300 ATK/ Effect)

Replying to the reviews:
SakushiRyu: I believe that this chapter has answered your question.
WhatADrag002: Dan will try to persuade Leo, but they might not reach an agreement.
