Yuya's Treat

by Fenghuang0296

It's the perfect storm as forces converge on Fusion Dimension. The Lancers are backed up by powers and allies new and old alike, but will it be enough to take down Leo Akaba once and for all? And is he even the biggest threat? AU from episode 63 onwards. Rated T for occasional profanity and mature (violent) themes.

11. Clash of Rebellions! The Birds and Bees!

Chapter 11: Clash of Rebellions! The Birds And Bees!

"Now, as a special treat, right before our lunch break we have the first Duel of the semi-finals! Everyone, get excited for the first match-up between;" Melissa paused for effect, waiting for just the right moment to declare who would be Duelling in the first semi-finals match. "Shinji Weber versus," The tall purple-haired boy appeared as a massive hologram at one end of the course, "Shun Kurosaki!"

Down in the garage, the two Duelists were staring each other down. "So, ah, nice Duel you had with Dennis last night. Very impressive," Shinji complimented his opponent as he glared at him. "I'm not going to hold back against you," was Shun's only response. "Good," the boy in blue grinned. "The stronger the opponent I overcome, the more likely it is that my message will be heard,"

"What? Your petty revolution?" Shun snorted.

Shinji blinked, then frowned. "Hey! The Commons live in squalor and poverty because the Tops are greedy bastards! You call that petty?"

"Compared to the hardships me and the people of my home have endured at the hands of those invading bastards, you're a child throwing a tantrum about not getting a new toy!" Shun snorted derisively. "Be grateful for what you have and don't whine about little things like money and prestige,"

"You have no idea what you're talking about," Shinji growled.

"Don't I?" Shun raised an eyebrow. "Even if your revolution does happen, so what? Eventually a new ruling class will emerge, a new Tops to lord over the new Commons. In the end, you won't have changed a thing. That Jack Atlas guy up there? He has the right idea, he understands the truth of the matter. If you want something, take it for yourself and to hell with everyone else,"

The blue Duelist clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "To hell with everyone else? I don't know what the hell kind of world you live in, but the Commons stand as one. All for one, and one for all!"

Shun didn't respond, merely turning away and muttering something under his breath. "What was that?" Shinji demanded.

The black duelist turned to him and repeated himself. "I hope you never have to find out,"

"And everyone, give it up for returning champions Shinji Weber and Shun Kurosaki! I wonder how their Raidraptor and Bee Force Decks will work against each other?" Melissa wondered as the two entered.

"I won't let you mock the combined strength of the Commons!" Shinji furiously shouted at Shun.

"Combined strength? If you want to be strong, you should use your own strength. You can never rely on other people," Shun retorted.

"Only some self-righteous bastard from Tops would think that!" Shinji shouted as their D-Wheels pulled up. "That's it, isn't it? You were sent by Tops to undermine our resolve, weren't you?"

"I fight on my own behalf, no one else's," Shun hissed in response.

"Guys, can you two settle down? This is the Friendship Cup. The City is one, we are all united!" Melissa cheered.

"Wrong!" Shinji shouted, interrupting her. "The Commons are one, united against the Tops bastards! And this lackey sent by the Tops thinks he can undermine our rebellion! I won't let it happen! I will defeat this Tops dog right here and now! Commons, we are taking back our city!"

A roar of approval met his words, and Shun rolled his eyes. "Great, I've been matched against a tinpot terrorist. Why can't I have a serious opponent?"

The purple-haired Duelist clenched his fists and, reaching over, slapped Shun in the face. "I'm not a terrorist!"

The black Duelist turned to Shinji and positively glared.

But before he could say anything, Melissa interrupted. "Riding Duel, Acceleration!"

"Fine. We'll settle this in a Duel," Shun agreed.

"Hell yeah we will," Shinji nodded.

"Send me a postcard when you get there," his opponent snarked.

"Oh, that's it. My turn!" Shinji shouted, accelerating forwards and overtaking Shun, zooming through the Palace gates and onto the freeway. "And Shinji Weber takes the first move! But he looks pretty angry," Melissa noticed.

"While there are no monsters on the field, I can Special Summon Bee Force - Piercer the Target from my hand!" he decided, and the multicoloured moth-like bee appeared, 1400 ATK. "Now, I Normal Summon Bee Force - Pin the Hit from my hand!" The tiny bee monster appeared. "I activate Pin the Hit's effect! I inflict 200 points of damage to you!" Shinji continued. As Pin fired a small stinger from its tail, Piercer beat its wings, causing the missile to grow and speed up. "Piercer the Target's effect! If you would take effect damage, that damage is doubled!" he added, and the stinger struck the side of Shun's D-Wheel, taking 400 points out of his Life.

"Pathetic," Shun snorted.

"I now tune my Level 4 Tuner monster Piercer the Target to my Level 1 Pin the Hit!" 4 + 1 = 5. "I Summon Bee Force - Asuna the Spirit Bow!" The Level 5 Synchro monster had 2100 ATK, and she shrieked menacingly.

"You call that pathetic?" Shinji grinned.

His opponent nodded. "Yes,"

"I set a card and end my turn," he huffed.

"Very well," Shun frowned, taking a card from his Deck. "I Normal Summon Raidraptor - Vanishing Lanius from my hand," His regular black-and-green bird appeared and screeched. "When Vanishing Lanius is Summoned, I can Special Summon a Raidraptor from my hand," he continued. "Arise, Necro Vulture!" A larger, black-and purple bird that looked like metal death joined the flock. "I overlay my Level 4 Vanishing Lanius with my Level 4 Necro Vulture! Appear, Raidraptor - Force Strix!"

The two monsters were sucked into an Overlay Network vortex, and from the vortex, a large metal owl, predominantly purple-black with green and red highlights appeared, two glowing Overlay Units surrounding it. "Not enough," Shunji smirked, and it was true. Force Astrid only had 2000 ATK. "I activate the effect of Force Strix! By using one Overlay Unit, I add a Raidraptor from my Deck to my hand. Come, Sharp Lanius!" Shun declared, adding the four-eyed maroon bird to his hand. "Turn end," he continued.

"What, no attacks? How disappointing," the blue Duelist snorted, drawing his card. He looked over his hand, planning his choices, and as he did, Shun took advantage of his distraction to dash past him and reach towards an Action Card. Shinji looked up in surprise, and fumed. "Just like you Tops to sneak up on me and take advantage of my distraction,"

Shun rolled his eyes, still slowly drawing up on the Action Card. "There's no point in talking to you. You're so wrapped up in your own delusions that it would be a waste of time to try to make you understand the truth of the matter,"

"I'll show you the truth of my - no, our strength!" Shinji fumed. "Asuna the Spirit Bow! Attack that bird!"

"I activate my Action Card!" Shun declared, not even bothering to read the text printed on it.

So he was understandably surprised when it not only did nothing to save his monster, the ground underneath his D-Wheel cracked and broke into brimstone with lava surging between them. "What?" Shun fumed as a blast of hot steam tore 1000 of his Life Points away, then the attack registered, dropping his Life Points to 2500.

He looked at the card. "Action Trap? Take 1000 damage, and then at the end of your next turn, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the difference between your Life Points," he read and raised an eyebrow. "That could be useful,"

"Really? So, at the end of Shun's next turn Shinji's going to take 1500 damage?" Melissa realised. "How exciting! I didn't know there were such things as Action Traps,"

"Neither did I," Shun fumed.

Shinji spotted an Action Card and moved towards it, but then realised something. "It could be another Trap," he breathed. "I'm in a good position as it is, it's not worth the risk," he decided, zooming past it. "I set a card and end my turn!"

"I see," Shun decided. "I draw," He looked at his card. "I Normal Summon Raidraptor - Sharp Lanius from my hand," The maroon bird appeared and screeched, 1700 ATK. "This is my own strength, the strength that I have acquired through depending only on myself!" Shun declared, slapping a card from his hand on the disk. "I equip Sharp Lanius with Raptor's Ultimate Mace!" A large battering ram appeared on Sharp Lanius' back, projecting a red target onto Asuna the Spirit Bow and his ATK increased to 2700. "Sharp Lanius, attack Asuna the Spirit Bow!" Shun commanded.

Shinji ducked as the metal bird smashed through his monster and charged towards him, impacting the back of his D-Wheel and dealing 600 damage before ducking backwards. "I conduct my Main Phase II, and activate Sharp Lanius' effect! This allows me to Special Summon Raidraptor - Necro Vulture from my Grave!" he continued, and the menacing black bird returned to the field. "I now activate Necro Vulture's effect, and Tribute himself in order to add Rank-Up-Magic Double Doom Force from my Deck to my hand!" Shun decided, taking the card from his Deck. "Turn end! And now, you take damage until our Life Points are equal!" he reminded his opponent.

"No Xyz Summon?" Shinji questioned as his LP dropped to 2500.

"Not this time," his opponent nodded, and Shinji shrugged. "Alright then. My turn, draw!"

He consulted his field and frowned. "What can I do here?" It didn't take long for a course of action to present itself. "I play my Set card, Call of the Haunted! This lets me revive Asuna the Spirit Bow from my Graveyard!" The monster reappeared, and Shinji immediately placed another card on his Duel Disk. "I'm going to end this! I Normal Summon Bee Force - Lyric the Royal Musician," The Level 2 musician bee appeared, and Shinji continued. "I tune my Level 5 Tuner monster Asuna the Spirit Bow to my Level 2 Lyric the Royal Musician! Take control of the hive and come forth, majestic righteous ruler of insects! Synchro Summon! Level 7! Descend, Bee Force - Honeysuckle the Queen Bee!"

A large bee with small wings and massive eyes appeared from the Synchro Summon, being carried by a cohort of smaller bees in a tarpaulin. She had 1500 ATK. "When Honeysuckle is Synchro Summoned, I can Summon as many Bee Tokens as possible, then she gains 500 ATK for every Token on the field!" Shinji added, and four of the bees carrying Honeysuckle abandoned her and became Level 1 monsters in their own right with 0 DEF. "This is the strength of the Commons! We stand as one, and fight as one. Bee Tokens, lend Honeysuckle your strength!" The queen bee's ATK increased to 3500. "Honeysuckle the Queen Bee! Attack and destroy Sharp Lanius!"

The bloated bee was carried forwards and puked a massive stream of honey onto the Raidraptor. "Raptor's Ultimate Mace! When the equipped monster is target for an attack by a monster with higher ATK, I add a Rank-Up-Magic from my Deck to my hand! I add," Shun paused as he felt a strange light glow from his Deck, and a card slotted from his Deck before he could make his choice. "What's this?" he frowned, looking at the unfamiliar card. "I add Rank-Up-Magic Admiration of the Thousands!" he declared, adding the unfamiliar card from my hand. As he did, he heard a voice whisper to him. "Take my power and seal your victory,"

"I don't know who or what you are," Shun fumed, before composing himself. "But thank you,"

Sharp Lanius was destroyed and his Life Points was cut to 1700. "Turn end!" Shinji grinned.

"Alright then," Shun frowned, drawing his card and looking at it. "Perfect," he smiled. "I Normal Summon Raidraptor - Last Strix from my hand!" he declared, and a red-and-purple owl appeared on his field. Level 1. 100 ATK. "I activate Last Strix' effect! By Tributing him, I Special Summon a Raidraptor from my Extra Deck! It cannot attack and is destroyed during the End Phase! Appear, Rise Falcon!" Shun declared, and his ace monster appeared. "I only have one chance if I'm going to win this," Shun reminded himself. "I play my Spell, Rank-Up-Magic Admiration of the Thousands! I use any number of Xyz monsters on my field or in my Graveyard with the same Rank as Material to Summon a monster one Rank higher! I use Rise Falcon and Force Strix to Summon Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon!"

Force Strix appeared from the Grave, before he and Rise Falcon were overlaid into a blood-red Overlay Network. Shun chanted as his Rank 5 took form. "Ferocious falcon! Break through this battle and spread your wings! Destroy our gathering foes! Rank 5! Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon!" The crimson falcon with 1000 ATK took wing and shrieked, but Shun wasn't done. "I play Rank-Up-Magic Double Doom Force! I overlay a Raidraptor Xyz monster on my field onto himself to Summon an Xyz monster with a Rank double it's Rank!"

Shinji's eyes widened. "Five doubled is," His eyes widened. "Rank 10! I can't let that happen! I activate Honeysuckle's effect! I can Tribute a Token and negate a card effect!" he declared. Turning to the nearest Token, Honeysuckle beckoned and it rejoined the mass above her, and then the Token was fired like a cannon at Shun's Spell, smashing it into pieces. "What?" Shun frowned, glaring at him. "Fine! By using one Overlay Unit, Blaze Falcon can attack directly!" The bird screeched and ate an Overlay Unit, charging up for an assault.

"Nope!" Shinji frowned. "Once again, Honeysuckle!" The Queen Bee repeated the process, this time covering the Token with honey before throwing it at Blaze Falcon. The bee in question bounced off, slathering the bird in honey. The Raidraptor struggled, but couldn't move.

"Turn end," Shay growled.

"This is the strength of the Commons!" Shinji shouted at the cameras nearby. "Many working together, using the strengths of one another to boost each other to new heights! I switch my two remaining Tokens into ATK position!" The two Tokens revealed 100 ATK each, and Shun gulped. "Honeysuckle! Attack Blaze Falcon!" The bloated queen bee came forwards and once again destroyed Shun's monster, bursting with a torrent of honey that washed it away. The honey spilled onto the course and caught Shun's D-Wheel as it laboriously ploughed through, dealing him 1500 damage and reducing his Life Points to 200.

"Tokens! You know what to do! Destroy this Tops dog!" Shinji declared, and his two little bees bounced off Shun's D-Wheel at his behest, each dealing 100 damage. Shun's D-Wheel finally escaped the honey, but it was too late. His Duel Disk beeped. He had hit zero.

"And with an incredible charge by his Synchro monster, Shinji wins!" Melissa shouted in excitement. "Also, clean-up on highway eleven! We can't waste all that perfectly good honey!"

"Well played," Shun grudgingly admitted. "Oh, shut up, Tops dog," Shinji huffed, and his former opponent fumed. "I'm not from Tops! But there's no point in telling you that, is there? You delusional idiot, I know how you think. If I'm not with you, then I'm obviously part of the enemy, right?" he growled.

Shinji blinked. "Well - well - yes!"

"I used to think like that," Shun admitted. "It almost led me to ruin. Focus on who you know to be your enemy, Shinji Weber, and don't worry about the people who aren't. If you do that, you'll just end up with far more enemies than you can possibly fight off,"

Shinji was silent for a few seconds. "You aren't from Tops, are you?" he finally asked, and Shun shook his head no. "Then where are you from?"

"It's a place called Heartland City," Shun told him. "But that doesn't matter. The point is, if you always assume that everyone you meet is your enemy, soon enough everyone will be," And with that, he turned and walked away through the door that the losers exited through, leaving Shinji to consider his words.

Outside on the course, Melissa was speaking to the crowds. "And after that exciting Duel, it's time for lunch! Be back here in an hour and a half!"

So, interesting new development, and here;

Bee Force - Honeysuckle the Queen Bee

Level 7/LIGHT/Insect/ATK:1500/DEF:1000/Synchro/Effect

1 'Bee Force' Tuner monster + 1 or more non-Tuner 'Bee Force' monsters

When this card is Synchro Summoned; You can Special Summon any number of 'Bee Tokens' (Level 1/LIGHT/Insect/ATK:100/DEF:0) to your field (max. 4). This card gains 500 ATK for every 'Bee Token' on the field. During either player's turn, when your opponent activates a card or effect, You can Tribute one Token, negate that effect.

Now that's out of the way, review time!

Leafeon, he sure will. Remember Chapter 2?

Peace!
