"I set the pendulum scales with the scale one Stargazer Magician and the scale eight Timegazer Magician." Yuya said as he set the two magician cards to the ends off his duel disk. And so the magicians, one in black and the other in white, rose from the ground in their own pillars of light before the field. "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! First up is the wise king of the jungle, Entermate Drumming Kong. Next is the delightful serpent of the sands, Entermate Whip Viper. And now for the star of the show! Make way for the dragon with beautiful, dichromatic eyes, Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya yelled as his monster appeared in a flash of light. "I activate my trap card, Reactive Overlaying! When my opponent special summons, I target one monster in my graveyard whose level is four or lower, Xyz summon a monster whose rank equals to the target's level, and attach this card as an overlay. I choose the level four Tattered Cloak, meaning I will summon a Rank Four monster." Yuto said as dark clouds began filling the sky.

"With Reactive Overlaying, I construct the overlay network. Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose its treacherous fangs. Descend now! Xyz summon! Rank four, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Yuto yelled before his own dragon appeared before the field. "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon… Glad he's still doing well." Yuya commented. "Of course. But let me continue… I activate Tattered Cloak's monster effect. When a Xyz monster is summoned onto my field and its rank is four or lower, I can attach this card to the summoned monster as an overlay. I can only use this effect once and only once." Yuto said as a second orb of light began circling the dark dragon. "It's still your turn, show me what you got." Yuto said as he relaxed his stance. "Okay, I activate the magic card Stage Fright. If my monster with the highest attack is greater than your monster with the lowest attack, return that monster to the deck. However, my own monster would be returned to the deck if its attack is not higher than any of my opponent's monsters. Rusted Axe's attack is lower than Odd Eyes' attack. So may I ask him to leave the stage?" Yuya said. "Rusted Axe is a Xyz monster thus it returns to the extra deck instead." Yuto replied as the armor faded from the field. "Now let's move on to the main event. I attack Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon with Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya yelled as the red dragon began trotting forward.

"Both dragons have 2500 attack... What are you plotting?" Yuto asked, suspicious of such an action. "Then let me introduce you to Drumming Kong's monster effect! Once per turn, when one of my monsters battle another monster, my monster gains 600 attack until the end of the damage step. Odd Eyes' attack is now 3100, well over Dark Rebellion's. Go Odd Eye's! Spiral Strike Burst!" Yuya yelled as his dragon unleashed its crimson breath. "I activate my Trap! Xyz Decoy! When a Xyz monster I control is targeted for an attack while I control another Xyz monster, the target for the attack is changed to the other monster. Also, if that monster still has overlay units, it is transferred to the original target of the attack. Lance! Protect the heart of the rebellion!" Yuto yelled.

Before the flame touched Yuto's Dragon, the dragon's shape changed to that of Lance and took the attack. Yuto's Life Points: 3700. "Well… There's not much I can do now so… I set a card and I end my turn." Yuya said, allowing the match to go on. "My turn, draw! I activate Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon's monster effect. I use an overlay to halve one monster whose level is five or higher and increase Dark Rebellion's by the same amount. These changes last until the end of my turn. My first target is Drumming Kong! Treason Discharge!" Yuto yelled as field of electricity surrounded the gorilla. "I use another two overlay and target Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Treason Discharge!" Yuto continued before another field of electricity surrounded Odd Eyes. "Dark Rebellion has 5175 Attack… If he attacks now… Yuya! Be careful!" Yuzu warned. "Don't worry, I got this!" Yuya replied. "I attack Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon with Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon! Treasonous Lightning… Disobey!" Yuto yelled as the black dragon dashed towards its crimson counterpart at frightening speed. "I activate Entermate Whip Viper's monster effect! Once per turn, I can switch my opponent's monster's current attack and defense until the end of the turn. Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon now has lower attack than Odd Eye's, will continue with your attack?" Yuya asked.

"I activate the quick play magic, Over-Stimulation! If my monster battles another monster with higher attack, my monster gains 1500 attack but loses 3000 until my next turn. Dark Rebellion! Continue your assault!" Yuto yelled.

In a flash, the dark dragon destroyed Odd Eyes, forcing Yuya into a critical position. Yuya's Life Points: 200. "I activate Faded Greaves' monster effect. If I destroyed a monster whose level is six or higher and this card is in the graveyard, I banish this monster and draw a card. I set one card face down and I end my turn." Yuto said. "At this moment Whip Viper's effect ends. And Over-Stimulation's other effect activates. Dark Rebellion now has zero attack, now is my chance! My turn, draw!" Yuya yelled. "I attack Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon with Drumming Kong!" Yuya commanded as his monster destroyed the weakened dragon. Yuto's Life Points: 2100. "Now for the finisher…!" Yuya continued before being interrupted.

"I activate my trap card, Tears of the Separated. When a monster I special summoned is destroyed, this card will be treated as a monster with zero attack and defense and the destroyed monster will be attached as an overlay." Yuto interrupted as a disembodied shape emerged. "But that won't stop my attack!" Yuya yelled. "Any battle damage involving this card is negated. However, if this card is destroyed while it still has overlays, both players will lose 500 life points times the number of overlays on this card. Now, will you continue?" Yuto explained. "I will, here we go! Whip Viper! Attack that trap!" Yuya answered as the snake sprang forward. "Yuya!?" Yuzu said in shock. With a quick lunge, the snake damaged the shape and caused it to explode violently. "Then both of us will take 500 damage and you lose!" Yuto shouted. Yuto's Life points: 1600. "I don't think so! I activate the quick-play magic, Smiles of the Reunited! If my life points is 500 or lower, I negate all effect damage!" Yuya yelled. "Yuya… This is it… End it…" Yuto said as he lowered his arm. "Of course… Odd Eyes! Let's go!" Yuya yelled as he leaped onto his dragon.

With a charge, the dragon swung its head at Yuto, surely a fatal blow… But it didn't connect as the dragon missed and continue to trot away from Yuto. "What?" Yuto thought before noticing that Yuya was no longer riding his dragon. Upon turning around, Yuto saw Yuya flying towards him. And in that split second… A punch was thrown… Yuto's Life points: 0…

Duel over. Winner… Sakaki Yuya…


And that is chapter sixteen
