And here is chapter six. I put a lot of thinking into this duel. Plenty of mental work went into this to make sure I didn't jack up anything along the lines. If you find something wrong, please notify me at once. Not much else to say here so... Please enjoy the chapter.
Possible OOC may be present in this chapter.

Looking at the card he drew, Yuya saw it was the first of the two magicians for the pendulum scale. Looking at his current hand, Yuya currently has one magic card, two trap cards, Entermate Kaleido Scorpion, the recently drawn Stargazer Magician, and his ace, Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon. "Looks like I won't be able to make the crowd go wild just yet…" Yuya thought. "I activate the magic card Masks of the Performer! It allows me to special summon four Persona tokens onto my field, each with 1500 attack points and zero defense points!" Yuya yelled as four masks appeared on his side. "These tokens can only be summoned in attack mode and cannot change positions. I set two cards face down and I end my turn." Yuya said as two unknown cards appeared on his field. "Really? Is that it? And here I thought you were going to give me a real opposition, I guess I was wrong." Yuzu commented as the crowd could be heard snickering. "I humbly apologize for not being able live up to your expectations…" Yuya said with a bow.
"Let's finish this shall we? I draw!" Yuzu said as she drew before looking disappointed. "I was starting to enjoy myself, it was a real shame that it had to end so soon. Battle! With Verse, I attack a Persona Token!" Yuzu yelled as her monster sprang forward upon drawing its sword. "My continuous trap card activates! Defenses against the Jeering Crowd! If an Entermate monster on my field is destroyed by battle, I receive only half the battle damage!" Yuya yelled as he revealed the first unknown card. "That won't work! Those Persona Tokens are not Entermate monsters!" Yuzu yelled. "Then I activate my second continuous trap card! Filling In the Role! All monsters on the field are now considered Entermates unless an effect says otherwise!" Yuya yelled as the second card was revealed. "Your 2000 attack Verse and 2400 Schuberta won't hurt so much now." Yuya said with a smile. "Is that so?" Yuzu asked with a mischievous tone. "What?" Yuya asked flatly.
"I activate Verse's effect! By using an overlay, I can activate one of these effects during my battle phase. Verse gains 2000 attack points but no other monster except Verse could attack the turn I activate this effect. Or Verse could attack each monster on my opponent's field once at the cost of 200 attack points. Both of these effects lasts until the end of my turn. I chose to lower Verse's attack to 1800 and attack all of the Persona Tokens!" Yuzu explained before announcing her choice. "What!?" Yuya asked in surprise. "Dance of the Singing Sword!" Yuzu yelled as her monster gracefully cut apart the four masks. Yuya shielded himself from the dust as his Life Points went from 4000 to 3400. "I'm not done yet! I make a direct attack with Schuberta! Wave of the Great!" Yuzu yelled as Yuya was blown away by the sound made by her monster. Yuya's life went from a high 3400 to the critical 1000, now he is on the edge. "I set a card face down and I end my turn. At this moment, Verse's attack returns to normal. Sir, I would recommend you give up now and save yourself the humiliation." Yuzu said almost tauntingly. "Give up? Why would I do that? After all…" Yuya began as he stood up, head held high. "The fun has just begun!" Yuya finished with a cheerful shout.
Yuzu's eyes went wide as the man before her drew his next card with a familiar looking pose. Yuya looked at his drawn card and saw it was the second magician for the pendulum scales, Timegazer Magician. "Ladies and Gentlemen! Sorry for putting up this charade… But I am no stranger or random face in the crowd… In fact, it is I!" Yuya yelled as he shed off his suit and fedora, revealing his casual clothes and goggles from underneath. "Sakaki Yuya! The Action Duelist Extraordinaire!" Yuya yelled as he heard the shock from the audience. Yuzu stood there in disbelief, she had been dueling her best friend this entire time while throwing a few insults at him without realizing. "Having trouble believing it's me? Well look no further! I set the pendulum scale with the scale one Stargazer Magician and the scale eight Timegazer Magician!" Yuya yelled as he set the two magician cards on the opposite ends of the duel disk.
It was then that two people, one dressed in white, the other dressed in black, rose from the ground, both in their own pillar of light. "Now I can summon any number of monsters between levels two and seven from my hand at the same time! Swing, pendulum of the soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Come forth! My Monsters!" Yuya yelled as the lights drew open a portal, summoning every monster in his hand. "First up is the adorable and vibrant Entermate Kaleido Scorpion! And then the star of the show! Make way for the dragon with beautiful dichromatic eyes, Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya shouted as the two monsters landed on the stage. Everyone was beyond shocked at this point, it really was the legendary action duelist that was standing before them. "Yuya…" Yuzu said quietly, trying to hide the fear in her voice. "It's good to see you again Yuzu. But the show must go on. I activate Kaleido Scorpion's effect! Once per turn, one of my face up monsters can attack every one of my opponent's special summoned monsters once, and only once! Kaleido Mirage!" Yuya yelled as the little scorpion created another image of Odd Eyes. "Yuzu, let's enjoy this duel until the very end. Battle! I attack Schuberta the Melodious Maestra and Verse The Silent Maiden with Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya said before giving his command. "Trap Card activate! Technical Difficulties: Climactic Failure! It automatically ends either player's battle phase!" Yuzu yelled with a panicked tone as Yuya's dragon readied its attack.
With a single step forward, Odd Eyes slipped, hit the ground head first, and its breath was released into the ground, kicking up enough dust and smoke to cover the entire hall. After the cloud of dust was cleared, Yuya and the audience saw that Yuzu was not on stage anymore. "Yuzu!?" Yuya yelled as the crowd began murmuring and whispering amongst themselves. Yuya turned to the two magicians and asked the two if they saw anything. Stargazer shook his head apologetically while Timegazer gave a clueless shrug. With that Yuya removed his cards from the duel disk blade, deactivated it and began running to find his friend.
Anywhere restricted to the public would be the first place he would check…
And that is Chapter Six, Did you enjoy it? Leave a review to give me your thoughts, it would be worth all that delicious gold. As I mentioned before, the next chapter is all about getting into the heart of the matter, the reasons why these Yuzu avoided Yuya in the first place. Also another character will make his appearance. So stay tuned.
Here is the next piece to Sanctuary...
While Sanctuary contains everything that is needed to support life, it does however bear an element unique to this planet. While it is an element with mass, has ability to decay, and is able to react with other elements... This element however is practically a physical contradiction for it's atomic mass is zero, has a periodic number of zero, and zero electrons orbiting around a non existent nucleus. This element is one of the greatest mysteries that is present on Sanctuary. Those researching this element has often called this Non-Existium due to its bizarre nature, practically stating that this is just solid energy. But the strangeness doesn't stop there as Non-Existium can do things that are completely impossible in the physical world. More on this later on...
And that is all there is to this. I hope you got some enjoyment out of this chapter and cannot wait for this story to continue. Anyway, I kept you here long enough...
Until next time... T1
