Hey guys. Back with chapter 3 and now to continue the duel between Yukimuto and Reiji Akaba. Will Yukimuto overcome the power of Reiji's power? Find out! Enjoy!

Chapter 3:

How did I get into this mess? I volunteered to take Yuya's place and duel Reiji Akaba, the CEO and president of LDS. I was having the upper hand on my first turn but what he did in two turns surprised me.

"Fusion Summon! Be born! Level 6! D/D/D Flame King Genghis!"

D/D/D Flame King Genghis: Lv. 6 FIRE Fiend/Fusion ATK: 2000/DEF: 1500

"Synchro Summon! Be born! Level 7! D/D/D Gust King Alexander!"

D/D/D Gust King Alexander: Lv. 7 WIND Fiend/Synchro ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000

"Xyz Summon! Be born! Rank 4! D/D/D Wave King Caesar!"

D/D/D Wave King Caesar: Rank 4 WATER Fiend/Xyz ATK: 2400/DEF: 1200

Somehow, He had been able to summon three monsters from all three summoning methods besides Pendulum. I wasn't prepared for this because I have never faced a deck like this back home. Henrietta claimed that her son was strong and I see that she wasn't bluffing.

Turn 3

Yukimuto: 4000

Hand: 3

Reiji: 4000

Hand: 4

D/D/D Flame King Genghis: Lv. 6 FIRE Fiend/Fusion ATK: 2000/DEF: 1500

D/D/D Gust King Alexander: Lv. 7 WIND Fiend/Synchro ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000

D/D/D Wave King Caesar: Rank 4 WATER Fiend/Xyz ATK: 2400/DEF: 1200

Darkus Ravenoid: Lv. 5 DARK Winged Beast ATK: 2100/ DEF: 1400

Darkus Falconeer: Lv. 5 DARK Winged Beast ATK: 2000/ DEF: 1600

"Prepare yourself. Battle! Alexander attack Ravenoid!" Alexander lifted his gusty sword and I prepared to run for the nearest Action Card. I thought about the situation and knew that I wouldn't be able to reach it in time. "I play the trap Scrap Iron Scarecrow!" My trap created a scarecrow and stopped Alexander's attack. "This trap negates your attack and sets itself back down instead of being sent to the graveyard."

"No way! A trap that can reset itself after activation!?" Masumi exclaimed.

"Is that even possible!?" Yaiba wondered.

"I see. But what good will it do you if it can only stop one attack? Caesar attack his Ravenoid!" Caesar raised his sword and was about to hit me until I grabbed the Action Card and activated it. "I play the Action Spell Great Escape!" I shield blocked the attack as Caesar was forced back. "This card ends the Battle Phase."

"Hmph. I'll set one card facedown and end my turn."

Turn 4

Yukimuto: 4000

Hand: 3

Reiji: 4000

Hand: 3

"Whoo. That was a close one. My turn. I draw!"

"Perfect." I said.

"I activate the spell Graceful Charity!" An angel appeared as it made rain and it landed on my deck. "This spell let's me draw 3 cards and then discard 2 to the grave." I drew and then discarded Darkus Centipoid and Darkus Monarus.

"Now I activate the spell One for One. I discard Darkus Wormquake in my hand and special summon Darkus Limulus from my deck!"

Darkus Limulus: Lv. 1 DARK Fish/Tuner ATK: 100/ DEF: 500

"I now activate my other trap card Call of the Haunted. I special summon from my graveyard Darkus Saurus!"

Darkus Saurus: Lv. 7 DARK Dinosaur ATK: 2300/ DEF: 3100

"Now I tune my lv 7 Saurus with my lv 1 Limulus!" As Limulus turned into 1 green ring, Saurus followed going through the rings. "Dragon of great darkness, arise from the abyss and unleash your great power! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 8! Darkus Hydranoid!"

Darkus Hydranoid: Lv. 8 DARK Dragon/Synchro ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2500

"What the!? He summoned a Synchro monster!?" Yaiba exclaimed.

"Interesting. So you can Synchro Summon as well." Reiji said.

"Yeah that's right. Now I activate Saurus' ability! When he's sent from the field to the graveyard, I get to draw 2 cards!"

"And now I overlay my lv 5 Ravenoid and Falconeer in order to build the overlay network!" Both my monsters turned purple before going into a galaxy portal. "Cursed Reaper of the Dead rise up and haunt those that dare oppose you! Xyz Summon! Rank 5! Darkus Reaper!"

Darkus Reaper: Rank 5 DARK Fiend/Xyz ATK: 2800/ DEF: 2300 OU: 2

"T-This is crazy! Now he summoned an Xyz monster as well!?" Hokuto exclaimed.

"I'm not done yet." I said as everyone "huh'd" me.

"From my hand I activate Darkus Element Fusion!"

"What!? A fusion card!? He can't be!?" Masumi exclaimed.

"This fusion card lets me banish darkus monsters in my graveyard and special summon a darkus fusion monster from my Extra Deck. I banish from my graveyard Limulus and Saurus!" A graveyard portal opened below as my two monsters turned purple before being swallowed in the fusion whirlpool. "Warrior of Darkness, arise from your deep slumber and silence all that stand before you! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Level 8! Darkus Vladitor!"

Darkus Vladitor: Lv. 8 DARK Warrior/Fusion ATK: 3200/ DEF: 2800

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw what I just did. "No way. Yuki did the same thing Reiji did." Sora said.

"He also has the power to use all three summoning methods. That's incredible!" Yuya cheered.

"Let's do this. I activate Reaper's special ability! By using one overlay unit, I can banish monsters in your graveyard for every dark monster in my graveyard. I have 4 in my graveyard but since Night Howl is the only monster in your graveyard, I'll banish him!" Reaper crushed an overlay unit in his hand and went graverobbing for Night Howling.

Reaper OU: 2-1

"And for every banished monster, all my opponent's monsters lose 600 ATK points until the end of my opponent's turn."

D/D/D Flame King Genghis ATK: 2000-1400

D/D/D Gust King Alexander ATK: 2500-1900

D/D/D Wave King Caesar ATK: 2400-1800

"Shall we start? Battle! Hydranoid attack Genghis! Chaos of the Darkness!" Hydranoid shot his attack and destroyed Genghis as I failed to notice Reiji get another Action Card.

Reiji: 4000-2400

"And now my Hydranoid's ability activates! Because he destroyed a monster by battle, all your other monsters with 2000 or less ATK will be destroyed!" Hydranoid shot two more blasts as they hit Alexander and Caesar.

"Alright! Now that guy has no other monsters to protect him!" Ayu cheered.

"One more attack and this will be Yuki's win!" Tatsuya stated.

"Shivers!" Futoshi said as he was shaking his body.

"It's over. Let's go! Reaper attack his LP directly! Go! Darkness Scythe Slash!" Reaper lifted his scythe but was forced back. "What the!?"

"I played the Action Spell Great Escape which ended the battle phase." I growled now that my attack didn't work. "And now I activate the trap card D/D/D Human Resources! This trap allows me to return 3 D/D monsters from my hand, field, or graveyard and sent them back to my deck. I return Genghis, Alexander, and Caesar from my graveyard back to my deck." The three D/D/D kings turned to their respective attribute colors as they were sent back to the Extra Deck. "And I get to add two D/D monsters from my deck to my hand."

"Tch. I place two cards facedown and end my turn!"

Turn 5

Yukimuto: 4000

Hand: 1

Reiji: 2400

Hand: 5

"I'm impressed. You managed to get this far despite the tough situations you got past. But can you get past this!? I draw!" What is he talking about?

"I, using the Scale 1 D/D Savant Galilei and the Scale 10 D/D Savant Kepler!"

"What did you say!?" I shouted in surprise. All the other spectators except Henrietta were shocked.

"Set the Pendulum Scale!" Reiji cried placing his pendulum cards on his duel disk as the word "PENDULUM" appeared in rainbow letters. 2 columns of blue light appear between Reiji and in them were Galilei with the number 1 below and Kepler with number 10 below.

"Now I can summon any monsters between lv 2 to 9 at the same time." Reiji said.

"Those are pendulum monsters!" Gong pointed out.

"That can't be!" Yuzu said in shock but the most shocked was Yuya.

"Grand power which shakes my very soul! Arise within me and give birth to a new light that rends the darkness! Pendulum Summon! Come before me, my monsters!" Reiji chanted as a big purple light shot out of the blue portal.

"The transcendental deities who rule over all kings, DDD CEO Hell Armageddon!"

3x D/D/D Doom King Armageddon: Lv. 8 DARK Fiend ATK: 3000/DEF: 1000

"Three 3000 ATK point monsters!? This is bad!" I said.

"It is. And I'm far from done!" Reiji jumped again and got another Action Card and instantly used it. "I play the Action Spell Altar of Races. Since I control only one type of monster like my fiend monsters, all monsters with the same type gain 1000 ATK points until the end phase."

3x Armageddon ATK: 3000-4000

"4000 ATK points? That makes it even worse." I said.

"Battle! King Armageddon attack Vladitor!" The huge monster charged up and knowing that there aren't any Action Cards around, I had no choice. "I activate the trap Mirror Force! This trap will destroy all of your ATK position monsters!" A mirror barrier protected me but somehow it broke through and destroyed Vladitor. "W-What the!? GAAHHH!"

Yukimuto: 4000-3200

"What happened!? Mirror Force should have been able to destroy them!" Sora exclaimed. I struggled to get up. "W-What the hell kind of effect did those Armageddons have!?"

"It's simple. They can't be destroyed by all your spells and traps unless they are targeted." Dammit! That was a waste of a good trap card.

"Now my second Armageddon will attack!" Oh crap! I quickly reacted. "I activate Scrap Iron Scarecrow!" Once again my scarecrow saves me from the second Armageddon attack.

"Fine. my last Armageddon will attack! Destroy his Reaper!" The third Armageddon fired and destroyed my Reaper as I was flown back. "GAAAHHH!"

Yukimuto: 3200-2000

"Ungh!" I cried in pain as I tried to get up. I looked up at Reiji's platform as he was staring down at me. "I now set one card facedown and end my turn."

3x Armageddon ATK: 4000-3000

Turn 6

Yukimuto: 2000

Hand: 1

Reiji: 2400

Hand: 0

I got up and then started my turn. "I-I draw!" I looked a the card and it was Beestriker. "Yes."

"From my graveyard, I activate Wormquake's ability. I pay 400 LP to bring it back for this turn. Be reborn, Wormquake!"

Darkus Wormquake: Lv. 3 DARK Insect ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1400

Yukimuto: 2000-1600

"And now my Centipoid's ability from my graveyard activates! When an insect type monster is special summoned from my grave, I can special summon it from my graveyard at the cost of it's ATK and DEF become 0."

Darkus Centipoid: Lv. 3 DARK Insect ATK: 1700-0/ DEF: 1300-0

"Finally I summon Darkus Beestriker!"

Darkus Beestriker: Lv. 3 DARK Insect ATK: 1450/ DEF: 1000

"Finally, I activate Beestriker's ability! Now until the end of this turn, all my DARK monsters will have their levels increased by 1."

Beestriker Lv: 3-4

Wormquake Lv: 3-4

Centipoid Lv: 3-4

"Awesome! Is is coming!?" Tatsuya wondered.

"I now overlay my lv 4 Beestriker, Wormquake, and Centipoid in order to build the overlay network!" All my monsters turned purple before going into a galaxy portal. "Dragon with mysteries beyond imagination and power from a doomed dimension, rise and slay everything in your way! Xyz Summon! Arise! Rank 4! Darkus Leonidas!"

Darkus Leonidas: Rank 4 DARK Dragon/Xyz ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000 OU: 3

"It's here!" Tatsuya cheered.

"Yuki's ace monster!" Ayu pointed out.

"Shivers!" Futoshi shook his body again. I was getting ready to attack but Reiji had already gotten an Action Card. "I activate the Action Spell Cancel. This forces all monsters on your field into DEF mode and negates their effects until the end of this turn." My Leonidas was forced down as it took a guarding stance with only 2000 DEF points.

"Oh no. Now he can't attack or use it's effect." Yuzu said worriedly.

"I hate to say it but there may be no chance for Yuki to get back." Sora said.

"You're wrong! Yuki won't give up. I can feel it." Yuya protested.

"I activate the spell Advance Draw. I tribute my lv 8 Hydranoid in order to draw two cards!" Hydranoid disappeared in sparkles of light as he was tributed. I put my two fingers on the top of my deck hoping for a miracle. 'If I don't draw the right card, then I'm done for but I'm not giving up. Please heart of the cards, guide me.'

"DRAW!" I looked at the cards I drew and smirked. 'They're here.'

"Alright, Reiji! It's time to end this!" Reiji raised an eyebrow. "Ladies and Gentlemen! It's time to wrap this show up for the grand finale!" I shouted. The spectators were confused on what I meant. "I activate Rank-Up-Magic: Darkus Force!"

"What did he say!?" Hokuto exclaimed.

"Rank-Up-Magic!?" Yaiba added.

"Is that possible!?" Masumi also joined in.

"This card allows me to use a dark xyz monster as an xyz material and special summon an xyz monster that's one rank higher than the targeted monster. Now I rebuild the overlay network with Leonidas!" Leonidas turned purple before going into a galaxy portal in the sky. "Dragon with powers of darkness and imagination, evolve and pierce the true darkness! Rank Up Xyz Change! Come forth! Rank 5! Darkus Omega Leonidas!"

Darkus Omega Leonidas: Rank 5 DARK Dragon/Xyz ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2500 OU: 4

"Whoa! That's awesome!" Everyone stared in awe of my new Leonidas.

"And now I activate Omega Leonidas' special ability! When he has Leonidas as an overlay unit, I can detach one overlay unit to target and destroy one monster on your field! Go! Omega Blaster!" Omega Leonidas charged up and destroyed an Armageddon.

"Destroyed Pendulum monsters don't go to the graveyard. They are sent face-up to my Extra Deck." Reiji said as he placed an Armageddon in his Extra Deck.

"Well that's unexpected but it doesn't matter! Omega Leonidas gains the ATK points of the destroyed monster until the end of my turn!" Leonidas gained a purple aura as his ATK went up.

Omega Leonidas OU: 4-3

Omega Leonidas ATK: 3000-6000

"I gotcha now!"

"Now my Armageddons' abilities activate! Once per turn if a monster on my field was destroyed by battle or card effect, both my Armageddons gain it's ATK points until the end of this turn." The remaining Armageddons purple auras glowed harsher as their ATK went up.

2x Armageddon ATK: 3000-6000

"Now both our monster's ATK are equal. Now what will you do." Reiji questioned me.

"This! I activate my final spell card Alpha Blaster! This can only be activated when I have a Leonidas monster on my field. It gives him 300 ATK points for every dark monster in my graveyard and the ability to attack all monsters on the opponent's field but they will only take half the damage until the End Phase. I have 9 dark monsters in my graveyard so therefore he gains 2700 ATK points!"

Omega Leonidas ATK: 6000-8700

"8-8700 ATK points!?" Reiji looked surprised for the first time.

"And don't even think about using your facedown card. The Xyz monster that was special summoned via Darkus Force, can't be affected by card effects until the end of my turn." I explained.

"Than that means..." Sora started.

"Yuki wins the duel!" Yuya finished.

"Let's go, Leonidas! BATTLE! OMEGA LEONIDAS DESTROY HIS ARMAGEDDONS AND WIPE OUT THE REST OF HIS LP! OMEGA ERASER!" Omega Leonidas charged up and then blasted the Armageddons and wiping out the rest of Reiji's LP.

"GAAAHHHH!"

Yukimuto: 1600 (Winner)

Reiji: 0

As the duel field disappeared, I walked up to Reiji and offered him a hand. He accepted it and then looked at me. "You are an incredible duelist. I see a lot potential in you, Yuki."

"Thanks. You weren't too bad either. Maybe next time, we'll give it our all." I suggested. He closed his eyes and smirked. "Yes. Maybe another time." I nodded as we shook hands. I then turned to see the kids running and almost knocking me down.

"Yuki! That was the most amazing duel that I've ever seen!" Ayu commented.

"Yeah! The way that you were able to rank up your monster was incredible!" Tatsuya added.

"Seeing that duel gave me the shivers!" Futoshi said as he shaked his body again. Gongenzaka came up from behind and gave me a bone crushing hug. "I, the man Gongenzaka, am proud that you have protected this school." Gong said while crying. "Gongenzaka. Let go. Can't breathe." Gongenzaka realized and then let me go as I was catching my breathe. "Thanks."

Finally, Yuya and Yuzu walked up to me. "Thank you for protecting this school. It means a lot to us." Yuzu thanked. "Yeah. I'm also grateful that you stood up for me back there."

"No problem." Me and Yuya then fist bumped each other. I then heard a clap from the chairwoman herself as she walked up to me. "I'm impressed with your skills that you were able to defeat Reiji. I want to make a proposition for you. I want to propose that you join us in our school." I immediately shook my head. "Sorry, lady. I'll pass." Henrietta raised her eyebrow in confusion. "I'm already where I belong. Here with my friends." I said. That was Reiji's assistant came in and whispered something.

"What!? Mr. Marco was what!?" Masumi exclaimed. Henrietta called to Reiji and then they walked off. "As promised, we will leave your school alone. Good day." Reiji said as the LDS crew left. I sighed and then turned to Shuzo. "So...Any idea where I can sign up?" I asked. "Coming right up! Wait right here!" Shuzo said as he went to the lobby. As I saw him run off, I turned to Yuya and asked him. "Hey Yuya." Yuya turned to me. "Wanna duel again to kill some time?" I proposed. "Sure! I'm ready for anything!' Yuya nodded. We prepped our duel disks as the others went to the spectator's spot and watched.

"DUEL!"

A couple of turns later

"Attack! Darkus Leonidas! Alpha Blaster!"

"Strike back! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Spiral Strike Burst!" The two attacks hit as me and Yuya were having fun and laughing.

And done! Just wanted to the end the chapter like this so, yeah. Anyways be sure to Read and Review this chapter and what you thought about the outcome of the duel. Next chapter will be a special crossover chapter between my OC and Siora Kazuki's OC Siora Sakaki! See ya folks! Because the fun has only just begun!
