Hello again!
Yuya was accused of attacking Shingo Sawatari, Ash surmised that it was another Duelist other than Yugo who looked like Yuya. To protect LDS reputation Henrietta, the chairwoman of Leo Corporation, proposed a Duel between Duel Schools on three on three with two out of three wins. Yuya volunteered to go first and is facing Dipper, an Xyz specialist from LDS.
And about all the character names, I may keep some names in Japanese version because I like them better than the English dub name. For example Shun Kurosaki's English dub name is Shay, so I'm keeping Shun Kurosaki because I think it's better. On the rest if I like their English dub names I will use them.(Ex. Ally, Declan, and Henrietta)
And as for the Xyz Monster for Ash question, wait a few chapters. Trust me, you may be in the surprise of a lifetime. For now, just enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 7
Back in the cosmic field both Duelists, Yuya and Dipper, had their Duel Disks activated with Yuya's red body and yellow blade and Dipper's purple body and blue blade. They each have five cards in their Hands as the Duel began.
YUYA: 4000
DIPPER: 4000
"I won't let you get You Show Duel School!" Yuya yelled. Dipper only kept on smirking at him.
"He's quite an energetic boy, but I wonder how long he will be able to keep that up." Henrietta commented on the sidelines. "Now Dipper, show us your abilities." Unbeknownst to everyone a hooded Declan made it in the building and is watching in.
"Understood, Chairwoman." Dipper said. "I'll be taking the first turn! I summon Constellar Algiedi!" He declared taking a card from his hand and put it on his blade. The female humanoid wearing a armor appeared on Dipper's side. (LV: 4 ATK/1600 DEF/1400)
"When this card is successfully summoned I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower card with the name Constellar from my hand! I Special Summon Constellar Kaus!" With that a centaur-like monster holding a bow materialized on Dipper's side. (LV: 4 ATK/1800 DEF/1700)
"Constellar Kaus' ability activates! Twice per turn this card can change the Level of a card by 1! I use the one of them to raise Algiedi's Level by 1!" Kaus fired a blue arrow in the sky and turned to light which rained on Algiedi. (Algiedi LV: 4-5)
"And I use the second to raise Kaus' Level by 1!" Kaus fired another arrow which turned to raining light dropping on it. (Kaus LV: 4-5)
"A monster effect that changes a monster's Level." Ash observed. "Now he has two Level 5 monsters."
"I Overlay Level 5 Constellar Algiedi and Constellar Kaus to build the Overlay Network!" With Dipper's declaration Algiedi and Kaus were enveloped by yellow lights and flew into a yellow portal which opened on the ground. When they did a column of blue lightning emerged surprising the You Show students, Gong, and Shuzo.
"Light of the stars, come descend and shake this very earth!" Dipper chanted as he took a card from his Extra Deck Zone. "Xyz Summon!" He then slammed it on the blade which a warrior-like monster appeared. "Rank 5! Constellar Pleiades!" (Rank: 5 ATK/2500 DEF/1500)
Yuya looked shocked at the scene before him. "Th-this is Xyz."
Ash, on the other hand, looked amazed. "So this is what an Xyz Summon looks like."
"Rank? Not Levels?" Tate questioned confused.
"What? You don't know that much?" Sora said making the three little kids turn to him. "Xyz Summoning first off you use multiple monsters of the same Level and that allows you to Special Summon a monster from your Extra Deck. Then they change into an Xyz Monster which possess the Rank equivalent to their Level."
"What are those lights orbiting around it?" Ally asked.
"Overlay units. Xyz Monsters use those lights to activate their effects." Ash answered making everyone turn to him. "I was informed of them when I first came here."
"I end my turn with that!" Dipper announced. Dipper: Hand/3
'If Yuya Sakaki is the one who ambushed Sawatari, I wonder what he will react after seeing this Xyz Summon.' Henrietta thought with a smirk.
"My turn! Draw!" Yuya drew the top card from his Deck and took out two cards from his Hand. "I set the Pendulum Scale with the Scale 1 Stargazer Magician and Scale 8 Timegazer Magician!" He then set Stargazer at the very right and Timegazer at the very left with the flashing 'PENDULUM' across the blade.
Then both monsters appeared in each transparent blue pillar with number 1 under Stargazer and number 8 under Timegazer with the giant version of his pendant in between. "With this I can summon monsters within Levels 2-7 simultaneously!" Yuya declared with everyone including Declan and Dipper watching.
"Sway, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether!" Yuya chanted as the pendant swung. "Pendulum Summon! Come forth my monsters!" A portal appeared and two different lights came down turning into monsters.
"Performapal Sword Fish!" A blue eel-like monster with a blade on its back and belly wearing sunglasses. (LV: 2 ATK/600 DEF/600)
"Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" The dragon with two different colored eyes roared in the field. (LV: 7 ATK/2500 DEF/2000)
"There it is!" Ally exclaimed with excitement.
"The shivers!" Frederick said shaking his body in excitement.
"This is Pendulum Summon!" Henrietta observed.
"You're not going to use Xyz Summoning?" Dipper questioned.
"I wasn't the one who attacked Shingo! I've never used Xyz Summoning before!" Yuya yelled.
'That's right, Yuya is fighting them for us. What good does it do if I don't believe him?' Yuzu thought sure of herself.
"Oh well, either way you won't be a challenge to me." Dipper commented. "Let me put this bluntly, you will lose!"
'No I won't, I will win!' Yuya thought determined.
"I activate Sword Fish's effect!" Sword Fish made several copies of itself and launched them toward the Constellar monsters. "Once per turn this card can lower one of my opponent's monster's ATK by 600!" The copies went around Pleiades lowering its points. (Pleiades ATK 2500-1900)
"All right! Now Odd-Eyes ATK is higher!" Gong cheered as Yuya hopped on to his dragon. Ash seems to be the only one who was suspicious while Henrietta smirked.
"Battle Phase! I attack Pleiades with Odd-Eyes!" Odd-Eyes marched over to Pleiades preparing to attack.
"Hmph, his much is within my expectations." Dipper commented. "Constellar Pleiades' effect activates! By using one Overlay Unit I can return one card on the field to it's owners hand!" Pleiades grabbed one of the orbs leaving one more orbiting around it. "I choose Odd-Eyes!" A light made Odd-Eyes turn to particles as it was returned to Yuya's Hand as said Duelist fell off.
Everyone but the LDS team were shocked. "Odd-Eyes is-" Tate began.
Yuya landed on the ground on his back hard. "Yuya!" Yuzu exclaimed worriedly.
"So Pleiades' effect allows Dipper to return a monster to the owner's hand. At least it's better than it being destroyed." Ash commented.
"Ow." Yuya complained as he stood up.
"Everything you do is within my expectations." Dipper repeated.
"As are you." Sora commented with a smirk.
"What will you do next?"
"Dammit." Yuya cursed. "I can't beat Pleiades with Sword Fish. There's got to be something." He then noticed a shining light making contact into an old pillared structure and ran towards it alongside Sword Fish.
"Aiming for an Action Card are you?"
"On this field Action Cards should appear wherever shooting stars fall." Yuya made it , but Pleiades suddenly got in front of him stopping him on his tracks. He heard Dipper laughing and showed he is holding an Action Card.
"Could it be you came here looking for this?"
"No way! When did you-"
"This field is one that I specialize in. The timing of the Action Card shooting stars as well as their location, I have it all memorized!" Yuya only ran with Sword Fish to another structure where another shooting star came down on to it. Like before Pleiades got in the way again with Dipper walking towards him. "See, I told you it's futile."
"Dammit."
"This is bad. He's got him completely read." Gong commented.
"It looks like he wasn't lying when he said this field was his specialty." Yuzu added.
"Yuya! Forgive me! B-but keep burning! Hot-blooded!" Shuzo yelled from the control room.
Ash gritted his teeth slightly. "Better come up with something fast Yuya. If you don't you're gonna lose."
"Just to remind you if you spend another minute without playing a card you will be disqualified. If you don't want that to happen then choose to continue the Duel or end your turn." Dipper said.
Yuya took a card and set it in the slot on the bottom of his Disk. "I set one card and end my turn!" A face down card materialized on Yuya's side. Yuya: Hand/2
"At the same time Sword Fish's effect ends and Pleiades ATK returns to normal."(Pleiades ATK 1900-2500)
"It seems this was a bad opponent for him to face." Henrietta commented.
"By the way since mastering Xyz I've now won 40 games in a row. So this will be number forty-one. My turn!" Dipper drew he top card from his Deck. "Battle Phase! I attack Sword Fish with Constellar Pleiades!" Pleiades swung it's sword on Sword Fish reducing to dust with Yuya feeling the shockwave. 2500-600=1900
(Yuya LP: 4000-2100)
"Yuya!" Yuzu exclaimed worriedly. Yuya bounced on the ground on his back.
"Sheesh, not the slightest bit of resistance. Sawatari must be lacking to let someone like you ambush him."
Yuya managed to stand up and yelled. "I keep telling you, I didn't do it!"
"I don't care. Either way you all will lose disgracefully and this Duel School will become a part of LDS!"
"No! I won't let you do that!"
"Then try and stop me. I set one card and end my turn!" Dipper took a card and set in the slot on the bottom of his Duel Disk. Dipper: Hand/3
YUYA: 2100
DIPPER: 4000
'As long as Constellar Pleiades is there, no matter how strong of a monster I summon it will get returned to my Hand! But he only has one remaining Overlay Unit.' Yuya thought in a pinch.
"My turn! Draw!" Yuya drew the top card from his Deck. He then smirked. "Let's do this again! Pendulum Summon! Come forth my monsters!" Like before a portal opened and two lights came down turning into monsters.
"Performapal Turn Toad!" A toad wearing a polka-dotted bow tie appeared surrounded by blue aura indicating it is in Defense Mode. (LV: 2 ATK/0 DEF/800)
"Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Odd-Eyes took the field once again. (LV: 7 ATK/2500 DEF/2000)
Sora looked unamused. "Yuya! You've got to be more entertaining else! This is boring!"
"Now isn't the time for that!" Yuya yelled.
"Yuya must know about Pleiades' ability. Yet it has only one Overlay Unit left. Is he trying to get it to use that final unit?" Ash whispered to himself.
"I can't afford to lose this Duel! I will-" Yuya never finished as he saw a shooting star landing on another structure. "Odd-Eyes!" He hopped on to Odd-Eyes to hang on as it ran toward the place.
"Showing his back to an enemy so quickly. Your ace Duelist is a bold one." Henrietta commented.
"To think he's gotten that upset." Yuzu said worried once again.
"The thought that he must protect the You Show Duel School might be limiting Yuya." Gong deduced.
Yuzu however had a thought on her mind only known to her. "Yuya."
"Over there is an Action Card!" Yuya yelled as Odd-Eyes kept running towards it. He sees the card closing in.
"I activate Constellar Pleiades' effect! By using one Overlay Unit I return Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon to your hand!" Dipper declared as Pleiades grabbed the other orb which turned Odd-Eyes to dust returning it to Yuya's hand once again as the two were so close to get the card with Yuya falling off the roof.
"That guy! He did it purposely at that timing!" Gong exclaimed as Yuya was sliding on the roof.
"Yuya!" Yuzu exclaimed.
"Hang in there!" Ash added.
"I activate a Trap! Performapal Revival!" Yuya exclaimed as he tapped on the card on his screen showing a Trap which flipped the set card on his field. "When one of my monster's leaves the field due to a card effect I can Special Summon a Performapal monster from my Graveyard!" With that he got Sword Fish back on the field into Defense Mode and grabbed it to drive it to the edge saving himself. (LV: 2 ATK/600 DEF/600)
"Well done!" Dipper congratulated mockingly.
"That was dangerous you know!" Ally yelled.
"So you'll do anything to win?!" Tate added.
"That's cowardly!" Frederick added. Yuya did a flip off Sword Fish and landed on the roof.
"It seems you haven't given up yet." Dipper commented. Yuya ran up and managed to grab it before Dipper slammed a card. "Action Spell! Cosmo Arrow! This card destroys one Spell Card obtained from anything outside drawing!" A green arrow came out of the card which hit and destroyed the card Yuya got shocking the boy. "Too bad. You had just gotten it too."
"I end my turn with that." Yuya announced. Yuya: Hand/2 'But with that Pleiades' Overlay Units are at zero.'
"My turn! Draw!" Dipper drew the top card from his Deck. "I summon Constellar Sombre!" He then set the card he drew on the blade materializing another female-like monster on his side. (LV: 4 ATK/1550 DEF/1600)
"Constellar Sombre's effect activates! Once per turn I can banish one Constellar monster from my Graveyard and add another Constellar monster to my hand!" Dipper released a monster from his Graveyard but didn't put it in his Deck. "I add Constellar Kaus to my hand!" He put the card he want to his hand. "Furthermore, the turn this ability is activated I can summon one more Constellar monster! I summon Constellar Kaus!" He then slammed the card he just brought back on his blade materializing the monster. (LV: 4 ATK/1800 DEF/1700)
"Two monsters of the same Level. That means-" Yuya never finished as he was interrupted.
"Not yet. I activate Constellar Kaus' effect! Twice per turn this card can increase the Level of a card by 1! I choose Sombre and Kaus! And increase their Levels by 1!" Kaus shot another blue arrow at the sky which turned to a raining light on the two said monsters. (Sombre LV: 4-5) (Kaus LV: 4-5)
"Level 5. It can't be!"
"I Overlay Constellar Kaus and Sombre to build the Overlay Newtwork!" Like before the two monsters turned yellow as the yellow portal appeared on the ground and the lights got in which a pillar of blue lightning emerged once again. "Xyz Summon! Rank 5! Constellar Pleiades!" Another Pleiades materialized on to Dipper's side. (Rank: 5 ATK/2500 DEF/1500)
"Another Pleiades!"
Dipper laughed mockingly. "You must have been planning on using up all of my Overlay Units so that I couldn't activate Pleiades' effect anymore, but too bad for you that was all within my expectations."
"Just as you're within mine." Sora commented to himself once again.
"All of the conditions have been met!" Dipper said as he took a card from his Extra Deck. "This card can be summoned by using one Constellar Pleiades as Xyz Material!"
"Another Xyz?!" Yuya exclaimed.
The yellow portal appeared on the ground again, but this time the Pleiades with no Overlay Units was the one turning yellow and went into the portal. "Rain down your dazzling light!" Another blue lightning emerged. "Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 6! Constellar Ptolemy M7!" A dragon-like monster materialized and roared. (Rank: 6 ATK/2700 DEF/2000)
"Pendulum Summon being acquired by this school was simply a coincidental gift. Just like I said, not matter who it is joining with LDS is within their best interests!" Henrietta said with the other students looking toward her.
Another shooting star landed on another ruined building which didn't go unnoticed by Yuya. "Let's go Turn Toad!" Yuya got on Turn Toad before it hopped off the structure they were already on. "This time I'll-"
"He just never learns, does he?" Dipper said. "Constellar Pleiades effect activates! By using one Overlay Unit I return Performapal Flip Toad to your hand!" Pleiades grabbed one of the orbs that was orbiting around it turning Flip Toad to dust as it was returned to Yuya's hand.
Yuya continued to run with Sword Fish still in Defense Mode. "Battle Phase! Pleiades! Attack Sword Fish!" Pleiades swung it's sword slicing on a side of a structure destroying Sword Fish along with it. The attack made the columns unable to support it as it was going to crash down on to Yuya shocking Ash, Yuzu, and Gong.
"Yuya!" Yuzu exclaimed.
"Get out of there!" Gong added.
"Hurry!" Ash yelled.
Yuya saw the Action Card. "That's it!"
"Yuya!" Ally, Tate, and Frederick exclaimed.
Yuya stepped back to get ready to run for the card. "Press forward!" He the sprinted.
The structure collapsed with Dipper watching still smirking. That smirk disappeared when he saw Yuya standing with a few scratches smiling and holding the Action Card which made the You Show students relieved.
"Yuya!" Yuzu said happily.
"He did it!" Gong cheered.
"Impossible. You should have ran away there." Dipper said in disbelief.
"If I do what I should have it wouldn't be exciting, right?" Yuya taunted.
"That's Yuya!" Sora yelled excitedly.
"Burning!" Shuzo added.
"So cool!" Ally, Tate, and Frederick added.
"Either way it's over with this attack! Direct attack with M7!" M7 prepared it's wings to attack for the win.
"I activate the Action Spell! Twinkle Comet! Until the end of the turn it lowers one of my opponent's monster's ATK by 1000 as well as dealing 500 damage to the player!" Yuya declared as a black comet hit M7 lowering it's power. (M7 ATK 2700-1700)
(Dipper LP: 4000-3500)
M7 attack went through and pushed Yuya to the ground.
(Yuya LP: 2100-400)
"Damn you." Dipper cursed as Yuya stood up. "Within my 40 consecutive wins you damaged my never before touched Life Points!"
"This was within my expectations wasn't it." Sora commented to himself once again.
"I activate the Continuous Spell Card! Constellar Tempest! I can only activate this card if there are 2 or more Constellar Xyz Monsters on my field!" Suddenly meteors came crashing down on to the field with Yuya running for his life. Dipper laughed maniacally. "Crush him! Crush him! At the end of this turn your Life Points will be halved! I end my turn with that!" Dipper: Hand/2
One of the meteors almost hit Yuya sending him flying.
(Yuya LP: 400-200)
YUYA: 200
DIPPER: 3500
"At this moment Constellar Ptolemy M7's ATK returns to normal!" (M7 ATK 1700-2700) "I'll take you down next turn! No matter what it takes!"
"What do you think a Duel is?!" Frederick yelled.
"That's right." Ally agreed.
"Silence!" Dipper yelled. "A Duel is a fight! If it's to win you can't be picky about your methods!"
"You're wrong!" Yuya yelled shocking Dipper. "I... don't want anyone to get hurt!" Yuzu's eyes widened for some reason as Yuya smiled. "Ladies and Gentlemen! The Fun has just begun! My turn! Draw!" He drew the top card from his Deck and saw it was the card he needed. "All right! I summon Performapal Trampolynx!" A cat with a trampoline body materialized into Yuya's side. (LV: 2 ATK/300 DEF/300)
"When this card is successfully summoned I can return on card on my field to my hand! I shall return Stargazer Magician to my hand!" Stargazer Magician was reduced to particles as it was returned to Yuya's hand.
"Then his Pendulum Summoning will be-" Tatsuya began.
"What'll happen to it?" Futoshi questioned.
"Now step on up! The one who will take Stargazer's place is... Performapal Turn Toad!" Yuya declared bringing Toad's card out making everyone confused.
"What?" Dipper said in confusion.
"Now, your attention please! I finish the Pendulum Scale with the Scale 3 Performapal Turn Toad!" Yuya put the card on the very right of his bladewhere Stargazer used to be with the 'PENDULUM' flashing across. Turn Toad appeared in a pillar of blue light with the number 3 under it.
"With this I can summon monsters within Levels 4-7 simultaneously! Sway, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether!" Yuya chanted as the pendulum swung between the two monsters. "Pendulum Summon! Come forth my monsters!" The same portal appeared with two different lights coming down which turned to monsters once again.
"First I'd like to welcome Stargazer Magician back to the stage!" (LV: 5 ATK/1200 DEF/2400)
"Summoning Stargazer Magician as a monster instead of a gate." Declan muttered.
"And it's time for the appearance of the main star of today's event! With it's ferocious but beautiful dual-colored eyes, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Odd-Eyes appeared once again with a roar. (LV: 7 ATK/2500 DEF/2000)
"Constellar Pleiades' effect activates! By using one Overlay Unit, Odd-Eyes is returned to your hand!" Dipper declared as Pleiades used up the final orb which forced Odd-Eyes to return once again. "With this it's show-time is over!"
"I think not! The main event is immortal!"
"What?!"
"Stargazer's effect activates! Once per turn when a Pendulum Monster I possess leaves the field I can Special Summon that monster!" Stargazer used it's power to send out a blue light. "Another splendid entrance, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Odd-Eyes appeared with a roar once again. (LV: 7 ATK/2500 DEF/2000)
"He did it! He can defeat Pleiades with Odd-Eyes' double damage effect!" Frederick exclaimed.
"Weren't you paying attention?" Ash questioned.
"I already told you, Xyz have Ranks not Levels!" Sora reminded. "And besides Odd-Eyes only doubles battle damage, it doesn't increase it's actual attack power."
"Then he can't win?" Ally asked.
"Yuya said it himself, didn't he. The fun has just begun."
"Now it's finally time for the climax! Turn Toad's Pendulum Effect activates! Until the end of the turn it can flip the ATK and DEF of one Pendulum Monster! My choice is Stargazer Magician!" Yuya announced. (Stargazer Magician ATK 1200-2400 DEF 2400-1200)
"In addition I activate the Spell Card, Magical Star Illusion! As long as Stargazer Magician remains on the field, until the end of the turn, all monsters on either player's field gain ATK equal to the total of the Levels by 100!"
"The Levels of the monsters on Yuya's field are, Odd-Eyes at 7, Stargazer at 5, Trampolynx at 2, for a total of 14!" Tatsuya summarized.
"Each of their individual ATK will go up by 1400 then?" Gong questioned. (Odd-Eyes ATK 2500-3900) (Stargazer Magician ATK 2400-3800) (Trampolynx ATK 300-1700)
"B-but won't the opponent's ATK go up too?" Frederick asked.
"Like I keep saying..." Sora began.
"Ah! I get it now! Xyz don't have Levels so-" Tate observed.
Ally smiled. "His opponent's ATK stays the same!"
"What did you say?!" Dipper exclaimed with tears in his eyes.
Yuya hopped onto Odd-Eyes ready to finish it. "Now then, shall we get started? I use Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon to attack Constellar Ptolemy M7! Spiral Strike Burst!" Odd-Eyes released a crimson red blast from its mouth that is spiraling to and destroyed the Constellar dragon sending Dipper flying. 3900-2700=1200
(Dipper LP: 3500-2300)
"After that Stargazer Magician attacks Pleiades! Horoscope Cutter!" Stargazer Magician released a connected attack which destroyed Pleiades. 3800-2500=1300
(Dipper LP: 2300-1000)
"And now for the finish! Direct attack with Trampolynx!" Trampolynx ran towards the defenseless Dipper and jumped.
"My 41st consecutive win-" Dipper never finished as Trampolynx got on its back and trapped him. When it rolled up Dipper was bounced off hitting the ceiling.
(Dipper LP: 1000-0)
YUYA: 200
DIPPER: 0
YUYA WINS!
"That's one win!" Yuya cheered as the field went back to normal.
"He did it!" The three little kids cheered as the other You Show students and Gong smiled.
"Hot Blooded!" Shuzo yelled.
Declan noticed that Ash was the closest to him and whispered. "Now's my chance." Taking the opportunity he took a step.
When that happened Ash suddenly sensed a presence near him and turned to see Declan motioning his finger to come with him. He pointed to himself to see if the guy was referring to him and a nod from him was all the response Ash got. Before he could say anything Declan put his finger on his lip as a motion to be quiet before walking away. Confused, Ash decided to follow the guy while the kids cheered for Yuya with said Duelist waving.
Henrietta noticed Ash walking away from the other students and smirked. 'Looks like Declan made his move. Now we will truly see if Ash is an enemy or not.'
And done!
Sure Ash is the main protagonist of the story, but I won't give him all the spotlight. Main Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V characters should have their chance as well. Plus I want Ash to see what Xyz Summon looks like and how Yuya duels.
And as for the Spirit Partner question, I haven't really given much thought on that. But it's too soon to answer now. You may get an answer soon. So stay tuned!
