I felt really bad recently, I seem to be losing a lot of readers nowadays... : ( But, the fact that there are new readers elates me to keep on going, and I'd like to thank those who've reviewed :)

Anyways, I have a favor, if there is any artist out there, and has read Searching, Love Written In the Stars, and of course this, The Heart of the Crimson Dragon Series, is it okay if you'd draw my Three OC's from the fic with Yusei? Lol. Yes, a silly thought, but I just think it'd be cute hahaha THAT IS, if you guys want to. For a catch, I guess, the best will be my dpic in FFN, and I'll happy promote it on my other sites, and the rest of those who also made a drawing. (Okay, that's all :p)
So, here's another chapter! A chapter of raging...well, just read :p Plus, I think its obvious anyway. Hahaha.
Oh yeah, I just wanted to correct something. Dandylion doesn't special summon Plant Tokens, but rather FLUFF Tokens. Hehehe my bad. :p
(Side note: I have a poll on my profile regarding a new story, if ever I'll make one. It's choosing the OC. So, you might wanna check that out. That's all! :p whoever wins the poll will be Yusei's next partner for my new fic if ever. That's all. XD)
The Heart Of The Crimson Dragon: Autumn Tryst
No matter where we are (yea), No matter just how far are paths may lead
We don't need no shields, Love is the armour that we need
We're invincible (we are), Invincible (you are)
Invincible, Loves our protector
Invincible (we are), Invincible (you are)
Invincible, We're invincible
Invincible

-Chapter 20-
"DUEL START!" With that declared, the duelists now were all grouped, and were asked to ride the helicopters to transport them to the various places in the combat lane.
"So, it has finally begun, huh?" Hikari uttered, as she held on to Yusei's hand, as the helicopter finally took it's flight giving them a wonderful bird's eye view of the new Neo Domino City. "I promise you, Yusei. I promise to support you with everything I can." She then eyed him with determination, causing the raven haired lad to crack up a small endearing smile.
'Yep, no! Rather, I promise to rule the field so you don't even have to do anything. No matter what it takes me...'
"And, as I have said, I promise to protect you, no matter what happens to us in the WTGP. I'll make sure to defeat Yliaster, whoever they are, for you and for the welfare of Neo Domino City."
It didn't took a while as they finally arrived at the combat lane, but before they can even land, the T.V. that each helicopter had inside them activated.
"Whoops! I almost forgot!" It stated, as a face of the very familiar MC appeared on it. "Other than banning a battle royale, there is another rule, once you meet a pair of duelist, you must duel them regardless! Anybody who violates as such will immediately be disqualified! To add, all tag duels from here and beyond are covered by the Tagforce rules! Also, finally," He paused, as the MC grinned mischievously. "Everyone must jump off the helicopter by parachute to get to the Combat Lane! That is the rules! And that is, first come first served! Good luck to all of you!" With that, the transmission finally ended.
"First come first served? At what?" Hikari uttered questioningly only to get pushed suddenly by a pack of duelists, who are quickly getting a parachute for themselves. It just so happens that she's standing near the parachute rack.
She was definitely startled, but later realized her situation, as she herself tried to squeezed her way in through them hoping to get one for herself and for Yusei too. Wherever he went to.
Seeing that she was smaller than the rest by stature, she was mostly trampled and often pushed to the ground.
"Crap." She chuntered in frustration, whilst banging in the floor with her own balls of fist.
"Damn, just how can kids get their way though here! They should at least give way to the small ones! Hmf, I'll definitely not call for Yusei for help. This is just so ridiculous! I'll definitely get through on my own." She thought frustratingly, whilst letting out a small growl, as she tried to get herself from the ground, and while she did a gloved hand suddenly came into her vision—reaching out to her.
She looked up, only to cause herself to feel embarrassed, with her face now heavily tinted with red. Regardless, she took the hand, and stood up, not looking at the man in front of her.
"I am sorry, that I just left you out there." Yusei simply said, whilst stifling a chuckle at her frustrated, flushed, puffed face.
"You shouldn't be. After all, I can take care of myself." She stated as she finally let go, and dusted herself, but Yusei just messed around with her hair causing the blond to be even more irritated.
"Wah, you know I hate it when you people mess around with my hair!" But, Yusei just kept his small smile, as he just simply held her hand hoping that it could ease her anger, which kind of worked as she just sighed and calmed down.
"Are you ready now?" He simply stated, as he wore the parachute gear onto himself.
"Huh? But, I didn't get any." She stated feeling a bit puzzled herself, after all, it was due to her shortness that she failed miserably to get one."
'A year may have passed, no! Five years have passed, and yet I still seem to be smaller than the rest!' She thought bitterly. 'Mom, why didn't you bestow thy marvelous and massive height!'
"We'll share."
"Oh, so that's your plan?"
"Well, after all, it would be unfair if the rest didn't have parachutes, so I think it's only proper. After all, you wouldn't mind anyway, right?" Hikari just placed her arms in front of her chest, as she sighed. Seriously, just when the time came that she can finally show Yusei that she can finally stand on her own and she could be cool for once in front of him, she just happens to be the most helpless and vulnerable person around.
"You don't want to? I don't think there are parachutes left."
"It's not that. But, oh well."
'I wonder what's wrong with her? She seemed to be in a good mood a while ago. Is it because I teased her so much?'
It didn't take a long time as the duelists finally landed on combat lane, since the parachutes were scarce, like Yusei and Hikari did, some just parachuted to combat lane with a buddy, while the rest who were able to get individual parachutes jumped off alone.
Though, even if they just landed, as the rules stated, duels immediately started.
"My, aren't they too excited to duel? They weren't even able to take off their parachutes." Hikari remarked nonchalantly, as she now readied her duel disk just in case someone finally crosses their paths.
"Well, that is after all the rules. It's either that or disqualified for such petty reason." However, unexpectedly someone immediately saw them, rather a pair of duelists themselves.
"Oh, Yusei and Hikari! It's you!" a child's voice uttered, causing the couple to follow the owner's voice only found themselves to be taken aback by the small world they have.
"Ruka, Rua, you're here." Yusei simply greeted, whilst Rua just ran towards them in an excited manner.
"Man, I can't believe that we met you guys during the tournament. Oh, this is so awesome!"
"Rua, you do know what it means when two duelists meet at Combat Lane during the tournament, right?" Ruka uttered quite irritatingly, hoping to get some sense into her overly excited brother. "Well, it's not that I am not happy seeing the both of you here though. I am happy, but this is a tournament and you guys are probably one of the best out there."
"Exactly! Also, it's a good opportunity for Yusei and Hikari to see how much I have improved since last time!" Rua exclaimed, while Yusei and Hikari just beamed at the bickering twins.
Ruka on the other hand just sighed.
"Oh well, as long as you are happy. After all, we're here to have fun." Ruka finally smiled.
"So, Yusei as the rules say, you have to duel us!" Yusei then readied his duel disk, definitely not backing down to the challenge.
"Rua, prepare yourself because we'll definitely not back down." Yusei stated with his usual tone, whilst Rua just nodded ever so cheerfully as he activated his duel disk in return, and Ruka hesitatingly did likewise.
'Right, I may not be able to do things physically well, but through this duel. No, through all the duels that we'll have, I'll show you, Yusei that I definitely don't need support and even your protection. Please, let me be the one to do that to you during the tournament.'
"Alright, then LET'S DUEL!"
"Yusei, you can go first if you want!" With that, Yusei draws his first hand.
"Draw.I activate a spell card, Foolish Burial. This card allows me to send a card from my deck to the graveyard. Thus, I send Dandylion to the graveyard, and since Dandylion was sent to the graveyard, Dandylion's effect activates thus special summoning two fluff tokens on the field in defense position." With that, two small Dandelion-like plants with a happy and angered expression emerged on the field.
"Then I summon Debris Dragon in attack position [atk-1000 def-2000]. Due to Debris Dragon's effect, I can special summon a monster with 500 or less attack from the graveyard, thus I special summon Dandylion back into the field in attack position. Then I tune Dandylion and one of the Fluff Tokens to Debris Dragon! Clustering wishes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Take flight, Stardust Dragon [atk-2500 def-2000] in attack position!" As Yusei's dragon finally emerged into the field, Rua somehow felt himself jumping in surprise. He just didn't expect for Yusei to call out his Ace Monster during their first turn!
"Yay! You're way too serious!" The blue-green haired boy exclaimed, whilst causing his twin to just sigh at him.
"Well, it is your fault. You're the one who wanted to duel head on after all." Ruka said simply, definitely not knowing on what to do on how to deal with her brother.
"I set a card faced down, and then I end my turn."
"Yusei! I'm definitely not afraid even if you have summoned Stardust Dragon!" Rua exclaimed, still keeping his ever so cheerful smile of confidence.
"That's good, Rua. That's after all, the determination of a real Duel King."
"Heh." Rua somehow felt embarrassed from the Duel King's remark, as he rubbed his nose while letting out his grin, only to be nudged by his twin.
"Rua, concentrate. Don't let that get into your head too much."
"Hahaha! You're right!" Still feeling embarrassed, yet went on as he drew a card. "Draw! I summon Morphtronic Slingen [atk-1200 def-800] in attack position! Then use it to attack one of your Fluff Tokens! Then I set two cards faced down, and then I end my turn."
'I have feeling as to what one of the cards can be. After all, it is a morphtronic deck. It is essential to one.' Hikari thought as she finally drew out a card.
"Draw!" However, before she can even make a move.
"I activate a trap card, Morphtronic Bind! This card disallows all level four and above monsters, as long as Morphtronic monster is on the field. So, how's that? Even Stardust Dragon couldn't get through this." But, Hikari wasn't bothered at all, as she just tried to smile at the child, somehow feeling a bit sorry.
'I was right. I knew it. That's why he was confident. After all, if it was me with a Mirror Force or something I wouldn't mind putting my weak monsters out there vulnerable, unless I didn't have a choice but to put it there on attack position for desperate measures.'
"Then I activate A Legendary Ocean!"With that, the environment quickly changed, as the cemented skyway, quickly become submerged into solid visual water, with old ruins surrounding them, as if they're like in the midst of the Lost City of Atlantis. "This card strengthens all water monsters by 200 on their attack and defense and lowers their level by one."
"What!" Rua uttered in surprised, as he find himself feeling a bit worried as to what Hikari might do.
"Thus, I summon Spined Gillman in attack position [level=3-2 atk-1300-1500 def-0-200], also due to Spined Gillman's own effect it's attack and the rest of the Sea Serpents, Aqua, and Fish type monsters will have its attack power increased by 400. [atk-1500-1900] Now, Spined Gillman attack Morphtronic Slingen!" [Rua&Ruka=8000-7300]
"Then Stardust Dragon, attack them directly!" as the order was declared, the Dragon immediately flew on the oceanic environment, as it let out a blue stream of light on the twins. [Rua&Ruka=7300-4800] "I set a card faced down, and then I end my turn."
'Hikari, you seem to be really serious here. You may look weak and vulnerable, but somehow that changes when you're in a duel.' Yusei thought as he eyed his partner carefully. 'Though, as the so-called Ally of Justice, I wonder how Clyde makes a difference to her strength? After all, I haven't seen him duel with her. But, seeing him duel last night, maybe with her I guess they can be a force to be reckon with.'
"Draw!" It was finally Ruka's turn as she drew her own card. "I activate Swords of Revealing Light, and then I activate Level Limit Area-B, which makes all level four or higher monsters to remain in defense position!" Then suddenly with the card activation, Stardust Dragon immediately shifted to defense position. "Then I activate Ancient Forest! Thus, destroying A Legendary Ocean" With that, the water immediately dispersed, as the sun became brighter above them, whilst the floor now became carpeted with evergreen grasslands, and trees growing from the ground. "Ancient Forest makes all the cards on the field to shift and remain in attack position, unless changed." Thus, the Fluff tokens immediately shifted to attack position. However, Stardust Dragon remained in defense position due to Level Limit Area B's effect.
"Then I summon Marshmallon [atk-300 def-500] in attack position. Then I end my turn."
'Ruka, a complete contrast to Rua, plays a very defensive spirit burn deck that also relies on the powers of weak monsters. However, it is also powerful as it blocks off attacks, and slowly kills you with a Bad Reaction to Simochi. However, this doesn't mean that I'll let her have her way. I can't let that happen.'
"Draw!"
'Alright, the card that can heavily turn back the field control to us.'
"I activate Giant Trunade, thus returning all the traps, and spells back to their owner's hands!" With that, the beautiful forest immediately disappeared, as the environment now finally looked normal again with the skyway once again visible. "Then I activate One for One, by discarding Shield Wing to the graveyard, I can special summon Effect Veiler [Atk/Def-0] in attack position!" But, before Yusei made another move, he quickly took a glance back at his partner signaling her that he's up to something, something that can finally bring this duel to a conclusion. Truly, no words were stated, she just simply nodded in return.
'Man, Yusei, can't believe you beat me to an OTK*. You really are a Duel King after all. Jeeze, I feel kind of useless whenever I'm around him.'
"Now, I tune Spined Gillman and the two Fluff Tokens to Effect Veiler! Hail that shoots forth from the azure skies, come forth, and be the light that pierces through a frozen heart! Synchro Summon! Appear, Brionac, Dragon of The Ice Barrier [atk-2300 def-1300] in attack position! Then I activate Pot of Avarice by returning five monsters from the graveyard back to my deck and shuffle it, I can draw two cards." With that, he simply took the cards from the graveyard compartment of the Duel Disk then returned it on top of his deck, while the Duel Disk did the shuffling themselves, then Yusei draws the two cards.
"Then I activate Brionac's effect by discarding one of the cards I return your Marshmallon back to your hand. Now, I change Stardust Dragon to attack position and order him and Brionac to attack you both directly! Frozen Shooting Sonic!' [Atk-2500+2300=4800]
"Wah! We still lost!" Rua stated in a very surprised tone, his golden eyes opened widely with his mouth agape, while Ruka just retorted with sigh.
"Like I said, you're the one who went head on with the toughest pairs on the block. Of course, we should have expected that." She stated with a frown plastered on her face. "However, it was a good experience." She let out a small smile, just like a mature person in contrast to his older twin brother.
"Bravo! That was a good show!" A man about Yusei's age stated, somehow causing the four of them to look back the source of the voice, only to find themselves all taken aback, and Hikari was the first to even comment about it.
"Clyde! Aki! What are you doing here?"
"You shouldn't ask that, after all, we're all here for the same purpose and that is to duel." Aki simply replied with her now calm demeanor, which is highly in contrast with her old self, while Clyde just let out his signature grin.
"Heh, took you long enough, we already defeated the rest of the teams out there, you know!"
"What! Were we that slow?" Hikari exclaimed—baffled. Embarrassed to boot, after all, she's the Duel Prodigy with the Duel King, they're the ones supposed to do such things after all.
"Well, after all, they're not really any challenge. After all, it is a shame for the top students of Duel Academy to loose like this early in the tournament against commoners." Clyde said in an arrogant tone, with his right hand rested on his waist, whilst causing the burgundy haired girl beside him to give him a smack.
"Shut up, Clyde." Aki and Hikari stated at the same time.
"Though I am kind of wondering, how come I didn't notice you on the helicopter just a while ago?" Hikari asked, somehow causing the two teenagers to laugh.
"Seriously, with you focusing all your wits on Yusei. I don't think you could have noticed us." Clyde snorted, somehow causing the blond to growl with irritation.
"I wasn't focusing on him that much…am I?" She bit her lip, whilst Clyde just went on.
"Also, you should have seen the look on your face, really! It was funny how you usually puff your cheeks in irritation just because you can't squeeze your way through the massive crowd!"
"Whatever! Since we're all here to duel then, I'll show you. I maybe small, and younger than the rest of you. But, I'm definitely not a push-over, especially in dueling!"
"Finally, all fired up. That's the Hikari that I want to duel. This will be a great bout!" Yusei just eyed Clyde feeling a bit amazed as to what he just did. Well, he is brave enough to anger his opponents just for the sake of a good duel, especially someone like Hikari, who's a monster at dueling. "Oh and Yusei, since we have battled last night, I really learned a thing or two, so watch out, I'm definitely stronger than yesterday." He winked, as he smirked at the raven-haired lad, now causing the blonde to eye the both of them curiously.
"So, that's what the both of you been doing in the middle of the night."
"Well, whatever that is, it's over and we have a tournament to play through or else we'll be disqualified already. Let's get on with this already." Aki said, as she finally opened her duel disk.
"Fine, fine. Forgive me for the hold up, milady. For I am just warming up thy challengers." Clyde stated as he
"So, Let's duel!"
"Well, I hope you don't mind me going first." Aki started, as she drew her first hand. "Draw! I set a monster in faced down defense position; set a card faced down, and then I end my turn."
'Aki, she may not look like it, but like Hikari, she's also a monster at dueling, with her ESP activating during the duel makes her a more scary and formidable foe. To add, her plant deck, not only swarms the field, but also burning their life points along with it. I should really be careful.'
"Draw!" Yusei finally started as he stared at his hand. "I set a monster in faced down defense position, and then I set two cards faced down. Turn end." Yusei simply did with his usual nonchalant expression, whilst Clyde just grinned at him playfully.
"Seriously, is this one of your runaway then make a counter thing again?" Clyde stated in a sarcastic tone, only to cause Yusei to smirk back at him.
"Most likely." Yusei simply replied, while causing him to crack a small smile.
"You guys seem to get along pretty well there." Hikari stated with a skeptic brow raised on the two men.
"Well, we are friends too, isn't that normal? Anyway, enough about the small talk, we're here to duel! Draw! I tribute Aki's faced down monster Dandylion to summon Ally of Justice Omni-Weapon [atk-2200 def-800] in attack position! Due to Dandylion's effect, two Fluff tokens are special summoned into the field in defense position. Now, Omni-Weapon attack Yusei's faced down monster!" But, as if Yusei would let him.
"Trap Activate! Mirror Force, thus destroying Ally of Justice Omni-Weapon!"
"Hmf, why does everyone have that freaking staple*But, then again even I have one too. Anyway, I set two cards faced down then I end my turn."
Hikari couldn't help but just grimace at the brunette.
'Seriously, always running his mouth like that.'
"Draw! I set a monster in faced down position, and then I set two cards faced down, and then I end my turn."
'As much as I wanted to attack, for now, I guess the best option is to defend ourselves. After all, if I want to be the one defending Yusei, I should never make rash decisions.'
"Draw! I summon Witch of the Black Rose [atk-1700 def-1200] in attack position! Then I activate super solar nutrient on one of the Fluff Tokens on the field to special summon Lonefire Blossom on the field, and use it on the Fluff Token left by tributing it to summon Gigaplant!"
'Tributing to summon a bigger monster, isn't that what my power is all about. Tributing thyself for an instant victory. But, sometimes, I wonder what will happen to me other than dying? What will happen to the people I'll leave behind? Tribute.' While Hikari was deep in her thoughts, Yusei can't help but take a glance at her partner, who's in a daze, as her eyes just stared blankly at the giant plant monster in front of them.
'She's acting weird. I really wonder what's been bothering her for the whole day.'
"Then I tune my Lonefire Blossom to Witch of the Black Rose! Chilling flames engulf the entire world. Pitch-dark flower, set into bloom! Synchro Summon! Appear now, Black Rose Dragon [atk-2400 def-1800] in attack position! Then I activate it's effect, once per turn I can remove one plant type monster from my graveyard to change one of my opponent's monsters in defense position, faced down or not, to attack position with it's attack lowered to zero! Thus, I use it on your monster Hikari. Now, Black Rose Dragon, attack Nightmare Penguin!" With that declared, somehow Hikari went back to her senses.
'I shouldn't be worrying about that now. I'll make sure that it won't happen. I don't want to die. I want to live. Live forever with Yusei and Ares, and all the people that I love.'
"Just wait a second, Nightmare Penguin's effect activates! Once Nightmare Penguin's flipped faced up, I can return one of my opponent's cards on the field back to their hand. Thus, I return back to you, your Black Rose Dragon!" With that, Black Rose Dragon immediately returned back to Aki.
"However, that wouldn't stop me from attacking, Gigaplant, attack Nightmare Penguin!"
"I won't let you hurt us! Trap Activate, Mirror Force!"
"Clyde and I wouldn't fall for such traps again, I activate Clyde's counter trap card, Dark Bribe! Thus, negating the activation with the cost of allowing my opponent to draw a card."
"You think I don't have back-up? Think again, Aki! Trap Activate, Forgotten Temple of the Deep!" With that stated, the field their standing on disappeared as oceanic waters flooded their feet. "This card other than the fact that it acts and stands as Umi, it allows me to remove one of my level four or lower monsters removed from play, thus I remove Nightmare Penguin away from the field, and chain Yusei's quick-play spell card, Scapegoat, thus summoning four Sheep Tokens into the field."
"Hmf, that might have saved you for now, but I guess, I'll settle for your Sheep Tokens then. Gigaplant Attack!" With that, one of the Sheep Tokens immediately got destroyed. "Turn end."
'Whatever she's thinking about, good thing she came back into her senses on time.' Yusei thought, somewhat feeling a bit worried for his partner.
"My turn, Draw! I summon Effect Veiler in attack position! Then I flip up my faced down monster, Quillbolt Hedgehog into attack position, and then I tune Quillbolt Hedgehog, and the three Sheep Tokens to Effect Veiler! Hail that shoots forth from the azure skies, come forth, and be the light that pierces through a frozen heart! Synchro Summon! Appear, Brionac, Dragon of The Ice Barrier [atk-2300 def-1300] in attack position! Then I activate it's effect by discarding two cards from my hand, I'll return your Gigaplant back to your hand along with your faced down card, then order Brionac to attack you directly!" Yusei ordered, as the serpentine dragon, fired away with its hail of icicle spikes, causing the pair 2300 life point damage on Aki and Clyde's part. [Aki&Clyde=8000-5700]
"Then I as I end my turn, due to Forgotten Temple of the Deep's effect, I'll return back Nightmare Penguin back into the field in defense position. Also, since Nightmare Penguin's back faced up, all water monsters have their attack power increased by 200."
[Brionac=2300-2500; Nightmare Penguin=900-1100]
"Tch. Whatever, I guess I'll runaway for now, or whatever you call it. I set a monster faced down in defense position. Turn end." Clyde gritted his teeth in frustration, with his arms now folded in front of his chest.
"Draw!"
'This time, I'll take the lead. I'll defintely take control of the field.'
"I summon Deep Sea Diva in attack position! Due to its effect, I can special summon Spined Gillman from my deck, and then I tune Nightmare Penguin and Spined Gillman to Deep Sea Diva! Crystalline Snowflakes that falls beautifully from the azure skies, storm forth, fill the dark world and purify it! So, I call for you, Trishula, Dragon of The Ice Barrier [atk-2700 def-2000] in attack position! Thus, upon the time it is summoned, it's effect activates as I can remove play a card from my opponent's graveyard, field and hand! So, first I remove Dandylion, then your faced down monster, and then," She paused, as she stared at Clyde's hand. "That card on the left!" Which happens to be Junk Synchron.
'Damn it.'
"Now, I activate A Legendary Ocean to increase the attack and defense of Brionac and Trishula!"
[Brionac=atk:2300-2500 def:1400-1600; Trishula=atk:2700-2900 def:2000-2200]
"Now, Trishula and Brionac, attack! Hail Storm!" as the two dragons launged an attack, Aki and Clyde's lifepoints immediately decreased down to 300. "Turn end."
'Tch. They got us cornered.'
"Draw, I set a monster in faced down defense position, and then I set a card faced down. Turn end."
"Draw! I activate Foolish Burial to send Level Eater to the graveyard, and then I activate Brionac's effect to return the faced down card. Now, Brionac attack the faced down monster!"
"Yusei, why are you so soft. You should have launched a direct attack instead! For that, I'll teach you a lesson, I activate Guardian Hedge's effect, when a plant monster is chosen as an attack target, I can negate the attack by discarding this to the graveyard."
"Don't tell me you're going soft on the ladies, Yusei." Clyde simply teased, whilst Yusei just shrugged it off.
"I'm not. But, even if you have stopped that attack, I'll still go on, now, Trishula attack the faced down monster!" The monster, which happens to be Dandylion immediately got destroyed, thus special summoning two Fluff Tokens on the field.
"See, it's due to your softness, that I finally found an opening." Clyde grinned, as he stared at Yusei darkly.
'A wonderful opening indeed.'
"Tch. Turn End."
"Duel Academy Rule#1: Always go for the kill, regardless of who your opponents are, Now, I summon Junk Synchron into the field, then I tune the Fluff Tokens to Junk Synchron! Light that shines from the azure skies let your rays expose and annihilate the darkness! Synchro Summon! Descend from the skies, Ally of Justice Catastor [atk-2200 def-1200] in attack position! Now, Catastor, destroy Trishula!" Clyde uttered, followed with an empathic arm waving towards the couple, as Catastor launched for an attack.
"Just so you know I'm not going for a suicide attack, like Core Destroyer, Catastor can destroy any during a battle, however, unlike Core Destroyer, as long that it's not a Dark monster, his effect activates!" With that, Trishula immediately got destroyed, as he dispersed from the field.
"Turn end!"
"Clyde, shouldn't I give you back what you've just said?" Hikari stated with a smirk stricken face. "Duel Academy Rule#1, always go for the kill, and what you did is not going for the kill at all. For such mistake and ignorance, I activate Brionac's effect, by discarding a card from my hand, I return Ally of Justice Catastor back to your hand! Now, Brionac attack!"
'Oh no, crap. I was too complacent! I forgot about Brionac's effect!'
As the final attack launched, the duel finally came into it's conclusion, as Aki and Clyde's life points immediately decreased to zero.
"Dang, You guys didn't only win, but won perfectly unscathed! This is so frustrating." Clyde stated, with brows furrowed together, whilst his partner just gave him a pat on the back.
"Well, if you weren't playing so arrogantly we could have put more a good fight against them, you know." Aki stated, then turned at the couple with a wonderful smile plastered at her beautiful countenance. "Congratulations, I can see that your bonds are really strong, stronger than what we best friends have."
"And we, siblings have too!" Rua interjected, with a grin of his own.
"Bond?" Hikari uttered, as she stared at them with a skeptic brow.
"Yes, the bond of love, and I am happy for my best friend to have that kind of bond with her special someone." Aki said, as she gave a hug on to her best friend.
'Bond.' Hikari thought as she stared at raven-haired lad beside her, who only looked back, as his hand simply made its way on hers, whilst cracking up a small smile as well, causing her to form a small smile herself.
'Yes, I should remember, we're in a tagduel, a duel that is not determined by one's sole strength but by the synergy of both duelists. In short, a bond. Yes, I shouldn't act so selfishly by showing who's more powerful. We are after all in this together.' She thought as she held his hand back. 'I guess, I'll have find another way to show how cool I am to Yusei!'
However, before anybody could even retort, a flying airship with a big screen on it hovered combat lane, as a face of a familiar mustached man appeared on it.
"Congratulations, to the duelists who won the elimination round!" With that, his face disappeared as the faces of the pairs of duelists appeared on it instead.
"Look, Crow and Jack got in!" Rua pointed out.
"And also, Sherry and Elseworth." Hikari grimaced at the sight of the two English people.
But, what goy Yusei's attention wasn't them, but the strange cloaked men on the corner of the screen.
'I knew it. They are strong. I wonder, whoever they are, will we be able to cross paths with them?'
"The next round will now have a different rule governing them! Partners will have to switch their deck with their partners! To add, each turn they have a minute to decide on what cards to play to add to the tension! See you next week! Good day, Neo Domino!"
"Switch?"
Okay, and that's wrap...
Know what during the duel with Ruka and Rua, I was REALLY TEMPTED to summon Shooting Star. Seriously, I can at that time since I already had a Shield Wing at hand and a One for One, so I can use One for One, by discarding Shield Wing to special summon Effect Veiler on the field, tune it to the left Fluff token, then summon Formula Synchron then tune it to Stardust, thus... Clustering...! Okay, that's enough hahaha. Well, obviously, I didn't or else, I have broken the Canon rules of Yu-Gi-Oh.
Also, during the second duel, I was using my own deck this time, so AI Yusei is doing the duel himself, thus he became soft. Lol, so yeah, it was highly inevitable. Sorry, it was beyond just beyond my control.
Lol. Moving on...
I was really surprised that the AI FINALLY runs my water deck properly (well, after a few tweaks to the deck, they finally know how.) but, sometimes I just got to let the AI Yusei go to you know, (which is during the duel with Clyde and Aki.) Oh well, as long that it goes well. :p
Anyway, regarding the ending, somehow it is decided, but I'll see what I can do for a while until I get there though, and I thank THOSE WHO ACTUALLY RESPONDED, because you helped me there.
Anyways, please do look forward for the next chapter!

13simplestrongsoul98: Hahaha! Was he perverted? Okay, I guess the act was PERVERTED after all. Lol if that happened to you then imagine me while writing it, I was grinning like a whatever lunatic. Seriously, I got to remind myself that I am not alone in the room. Anyway, Ako ay masaya na nagustohan mo yung kaninang chapter. Look forward for the rest! TC
KirbyStar64: Regarding your question, that I'll unfold when we get there hahahaha! That is after all a spoiler, so I'll let you guess for now :p Thanks for answering, actually that's what I am thinking too. However, even if I decided already it always ends up differently when I write it though. O.O But, we'll see. I really appreciated the fact that you answered. For only a few are responding to me nowadays. Anyways, I am happy to hear that my stories give inspiration to write Yusei/OC fics and other fanfics. : ) Hehehe, If ever you write a YuseixOc tell me, coz I am looking for a Yusei x OC fic :p Anyways, thanks for the awesome review! Please do look forward for the next chapter. TC
PrincessOfEnterra: Glad that you liked the fic. I see, then I'll take that into account, peresonally a friend also suggested A VERY DRAMATIC ONE, that I myself felt so sorry for Yusei and Hikari. However, it was nice, thus I wanted to know the rest of the reader's opinions, and seeing a lot wanted a dramatic (some)/happy ending. Then I'll see what I can do. XD Also, glad you liked that part, to be honest the idea just came into me and poof. (seriously, I'm a girl but I am good at making fluff when its the guy's pov. O.o weird. I seriously tried to make Hikari counter, but it was lame. Plus, for me, Yusei did a good job already hahaha!) Anyways, Thanks for the awesome review! Hoped you like the latest chapter! TC
TC to all
