Yuzu walked into the duel arena, knowing she would have to release her alternative self. She looked at the field as she was prepared to duel with whatever Reiji would throw at her.
"Ok Reiji. Who have I got?!" Yuzu shouted. A familiar looking figure slowly appeared.
As it appeared more into the light, a bot with red and green hair appeared. Yuya and Yuzu were shocked. They saw a duel bot which looked just like Yuya.
"No way?!" yelled Yuya.
"What is this Reiji?!" yelled Yuzu as she looked to him. Reiji begun to speak via a loudspeaker.
"I thought that you needed to duel another familiar face just like Yuya did." he replied.
"Just like you did with my father!" shouted Yuya. "You used your knowledge of his deck and mine to build these robots!"
"What's wrong with that?" asked Reiji, Yuya didn't respond.
"Fine." said Yuzu as she activated her duel disk. "Let's get this over and done with!"
"Let's put on a show!" yelled fake Yuya.
"Shut up." replied Yuzu as she didn't want to go along the lines of Yuya and get emotionally attached to a duel bot.
"DUEL!" both yelled.
Turn 1
Yuya Bot LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I start by setting my Pendulum Scale! I set scale three Performapal Turn Toad and scale six Performapal Lizardraw!" said the fake Yuya as a green toad rose into the air along with a orange lizard in the other.
Turn Toad 3 - Lizardraw 6
Yuya looked shocked at the Pendulum Scales. "He... he was able to copy my deck exactly?!" said a bemused Yuya.
"I now Pendulum Summon!" yelled fake Yuya as the portal opened. "Appear level four Performapal Sliver Claw!" The beacon swung around and a monster used in the last duel appeared in Sliver Claw.
Performapal Silver Claw ATK: 1800 DEF: 700 Dark/Beast/Pendulum/LVL 4 - Scale 5
"I shall now set one card and end my turn!" Yuya looked concerned as he looked at his fake counterpart.
"Yuzu, be careful!" Yuya yelled.
"I will!" replied Yuzu.
Turn 2
Yuya Bot LP: 4000 Hand: 1
Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"Draw!" Yuzu picked up two cards from her hand. "I shall set my Pendulum Scale as well! I set scale three Bachta the Melodious Maestra and scale seven Beethovta the Melodious Maestra!" Yuzu played the two Pendulum cards on either side of her pink duel disk. Bactha was a yellow haired Melodious monster in a black outfit with green boots while Beethovta wore a red dress with blue hair. She was a slim female with a white scarf.
Batcha 3 - Beethovta 7
"I Pendulum Summon!" yelled Yuzu as the pendulum portal opened up. "From my hand appear! Level five, Bass the Melodious Songstress!" Bass was a long green haired woman in a purple like outfit with long green gloves.
Bass the Melodious Songstress ATK: 2400 DEF: 1800 Light/Fairy/Pendulum/LVL 5 - Scale 4
"I play a Spell!" yelled Yuzu. "I play Deifying Tone! I target a Melodious monster I control and then all monsters you control with less defence then my targeted monsters attack, switch battle positions! I target my Bass and now your Sliver Claw will be switched into defence mode!" Bass glowed in yellow light and the light passed onto Sliver Claw as he changed positions. "Now I use my Bass' effect! Since she was Special Summoned, I can half her attack and defence to then reduce your monsters attack and defence to zero until the end phase!"
"What?" replied fake Yuya. Bass once again glowed as she weakened herself and Sliver Claw.
Bass ATK: 1200 DEF: 900
Sliver Claw: ATK: 0 DEF: 0
"Now Bass can inflict piercing damage!" yelled Yuzu as her monster charged forward and unleashed a vocal attack towards Sliver Claw. The sound wave passed through Sliver Claw and destroyed the beast. Fake Yuya felt the damage.
Yuya Bot LP: 4000 – 2800
"Now I use my Beethovta's Pendulum effect! If a Melodious monster destroyed a monster via battle then by destroying Beethovta in my Pendulum Zone, I can attack once again with that Melodious monster!" Beethovta disappeared from the Pendulum Zone as Bass glowed once more. "GO BASS!" yelled Yuzu. Fake Yuya once again took the hit as Bass this time slammed her body into the duel bot.
Yuya Bot LP: 2800 - 1600
Real Yuya made a double fist pump as he cheered. "I end my turn with a set card!" said Yuzu. "This really isn't much a test." Yuzu shouted to Reiji. Reiji ignored her but he smirked. "Bass' attack and defence return to normal."
Bass ATK: 2400 DEF: 1800
Turn 3
Yuya Bot LP: 1600 Hand: 1
Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 1
"I draw!" yelled the fake Yuya. "Now I use my Lizardraw's effect! I can shuffle this card back into my deck to then draw a card!" Yuya drew a card as Lizardraw disappeared. "You said it wasn't a test? Let's try now! I set Performapal Odd-Eyes Unicorn into my other Pendulum Zone!" The fake Yuya slammed the card into his Pendulum Zone as the Unicorn appeared with a "8" underneath.
Turn Toad 3 – Unicorn 8
"I Pendulum Summon once again! Sliver Claw revives from my extra deck and next from my hand, my Performapal Elephammer!" The wolf monster reappeared along with a blue elephant in a top hat.
Performapal Silver Claw ATK: 1800 DEF: 700 Dark/Beast/Pendulum/LVL 4 - Scale 5
Performapal Elephammer ATK: 2600 DEF: 1800 Earth/Beast/LVL 6
"Now I use my Turn Toad's Pendulum effect! I can change the attack and defence of one Pendulum monster on the field until the end phase! I target your Bass!"
"What?!" shouted the real Yuya. "On Yuzu's?!" Yuzu was also shocked as Turn Toad performed a back flip in the Pendulum Zone. Bass' stats once again changed.
Bass the Melodious Songstress ATK: 1800 DEF: 2400
"Now I attack with Sliver Claw!" yelled fake Yuya as Sliver Claw leaped forward with open claws. "When Sliver Claw attacks, all Performapals on the field gain 300 attack points until the end of this battle phase!"
Sliver Claw ATK: 2100
Performapal Elephammer ATK: 2900
Sliver Claw's claws increased in size as the monster slashed Bass in half. Yuzu felt a burning pain as she lost lifepoints. Bass however remained on the field. This took both Yuya's by surprise.
"What is this?!" yelled the fake Yuya.
"Batcha's Pendulum effect! While she is in my Pendulum Zone, all Special Summoned monsters on my field cannot be destroyed once per turn!"
Yuzu LP: 4000 – 3700
"Fine!" yelled fake Yuya." Now attack Elephammer! When he attacks, all your Spells and Traps return to your hand!"
"Damn it!" shouted the real Yuya. "That means Yuzu will lose her other Pendulum Scale and her set card!" Elephammer slammed it's trunk onto the field and a large blast of energy came flying towards Yuzu. Her set card and Batcha were returned as Yuzu was sent backwards by the impact. She looked up and gritted her teeth.
"Now wipe out Bass!" Elephammer slammed it's trunk down onto Bass which destroyed it. Yuzu felt another rush of burning pain as she took damage.
Yuzu LP: 3700 – 1100
Yuzu started to look angrier at the fake Yuya. Fake Yuya had one final trick to play. "I play the Spell Trick Show! If I control exactly two Performapals then I can inflict the difference in their attack points as damage!"
"NO!" yelled Yuzu as a circus cannon appeared on the field and it was aimed at Yuzu. Sliver Claw and Elephammer turned into auras and went into the cannon. The cannon then fired a blue beam at Yuzu which hit her across the chest. She held her chest as she lost more lifepoints.
"That's 800 points of damage." thought the real Yuya. "Yuzu, are you okay?!" he shouted.
Yuzu LP: 1100 – 300
"Yeah I'm fine." said Yuzu though she was slightly winded from the hit. Yuzu looked at her bracelet as it begun to flicker in its pink light. Yuzu looked up to Reiji. Reiji looked at the computers in the gallery and looked impressed.
"It's starting." he said with a smirk. "We have pushed Yuzu into a pinch, just as she was against Shingo, twice. Now it's time to see what happens next."
"I end my turn." said fake Yuya as his monsters ATK returned to normal.
Sliver Claw ATK: 1800
Elephammer ATK: 2600
Yuzu closed her eyes as the bracelet begun to glow even lighter. Yuzu held her head as Reiji's computers picked up an increase in her power. Yuzu then slowly opened her eyes and to the shock of Yuya, he saw Yuzu with pink tinted eyes once more. Yuzu smirked with confidence. Reiji also smiled as his plan was coming together.
Turn 4
Yuya Bot LP: 1600 Hand: 1
Yuzu LP: 300 Hand: 3
"I draw!" yelled Yuzu. Her eyes were drawn to her newly drawn card and her face lit up with a giant smirk. "I set my Pendulum Scale with scale four Mozarta the Melodious Pendulum Maestra and scale four Opera the Pendulum Melodious Diva!" yelled Yuzu as she played her ace card into one of her Pendulum Zones along with Opera.
"Two scale fours?!" shouted Yuya as Mozarta in her half green and red dress rose up along with pink haired female in a purple dress who wore a pink gloves.
Mozarta 4 – Opera 4
"Why would you do that?!" shouted the fake Yuya. Yuzu's pink eyes lighted up with confidence.
"Let me tell you why I placed my ace into my Pendulum Zone! Because it can do this! Once per turn if I have Mozarta in my Pendulum Zone and another Melodious monster in the other, by using Mozarta's effect, I can double the scale of the other Melodious monster!"
"No way!" shouted both Yuya's.
"I double Opera's scale from four to eight!" The number underneath Opera quickly changed from "4" to "8".
Mozarta 4 – Opera 8
Real Yuya was still shocked."Yuzu would never risk placing her ace monster into a Pendulum Zone. She really does improve her confidence when her bracelet activates." Yuya thought.
"Now I Pendulum Summon!" yelled Yuzu. "Reappear from my extra deck! Bass the Melodious Songstress!" A blue beam came shooting out of the pendulum portal as Bass returned to the field.
Bass the Melodious Songstress ATK: 2400 DEF: 1800 Light/Fairy/Pendulum/LVL 5 - Scale 4
"I now play Pianissimo! I target one monster you control and then reduce its attack to 100! But it can't be destroyed by battle and I'm targeting your Elephammer!" Elephammer fell to his knees as he lost its attack.
Elephammer ATK: 100
"Yes Yuzu!" shouted Yuya in joy.
"Ok! Attack my Bass!"Bass floated into the air and unleashed a loud vocal attack. The sound waves came shooting out of Bass' mouth and struck Elephammer, destroying it. The fake Yuya felt the blast and went flying backwards into the wall. It appeared Yuzu's attack, once again became real without an Action Field. Reiji and Yuya looked on with shock as the attack destroyed the duel bot after it was blasted into the wall.
Fake Yuya LP: 1100 – 0 Yuzu Wins
Yuzu fell to her knees as her pink tinted eyes returned back to her normal blue. Yuzu held her head as she returned back to her normal self. "Damn. That leaves a headache." she said aloud. Yuya went to check her.
Reiji smiled as he looked at his tablet. The bracelet power from Yuzu had been enough to fulfill his mission, to gain the power to reopen the Pendulum Gateway. He made his way down to the floor of the duel arena and he looked at Yuzu and Yuya. "Well done you two. We now have enough to open the portals once and for all."
"But won't that mean the portals will open to all the dimensions?" said Yuzu. "Rin came through because of our items."
"Yes it will. It seems your two powers connect to every dimension. Now follow me to my office and I will explain what I was going to say to you." replied Reiji. Yuzu and Yuya followed him.
Reiji's Office
The three were now all sat at Reiji's desk and Reiji had just finishing showing them footage of Sora's duel against himself.
Yuzu and Yuya were sat in complete shock at the footage. They were wondering what to say and yet they couldn't find the right words.
"How... how is this right?!" asked Yuzu. "How?!"
"I'm sorry but this is the truth. Sora is Academia. Surely you have noticed his strange behavior? Our CCTV footage caught Sora in the same location as we found Hokuto."
"What do you mean?!" replied Yuya. Reiji pulled out a drawer and picked up two items. Reiji laid them onto the table and there was the torn in half Hokuto card, which Sora dumped beforehand. Yuzu and Yuya were once again stunned. "He... he carded Hokuto?!"
"Yes he did." replied Reiji. "I'm sure Yuzu has told you now about Academia."
"Yes she did, but Sora?! I know he has been acting strange but I refuse... I refuse to believe you!" yelled Yuya as he stood up.
"Don't you get it? He is Academia, he is the enemy!"
"I REFUSE!" shouted Yuya. "Yuzu, you believe me, don't you?" Yuya looked at his best friend. Yuzu looked at the floor as she couldn't bare to look at Yuya.
"I... I don't know anymore." said Yuzu.
"But this is Reiji. The guy who hates my father! He is trying to mess with me!" Yuya ran out of the office and Yuzu looked at Reiji.
"What now?" she asked. "What will you do with our power?"
"I will get back in contact with you soon. I want to know who you really are and what the items continue to do. Only you and Yuya can release the potential of the dimensions it seems. I hope you know now that we are on the same side." Yuzu nodded her back to Reiji. Yuzu then walked out of the room, disappointed and angry at herself for not knowing what to believe.
