"Hurry up Yuya!" yelled Yuzu. The two friends were running towards a flight of stairs. The stairs connected to a temple.
"I'm coming!" replied Yuya as he followed. "Gongenzaka's match doesn't start for another five minutes!"
"At your pace, we won't get there till five minutes after!"
Ryozanpaku School
Yuzu and Yuya were in a viewing gallery at Ryozanpaku School. Inside was Yuzu, Yuya and Gongenzaka. Gongenzaka was preparing his deck and looking at his two friends.
"Good luck today." said Yuzu to Gongenzaka.
"Thank you Yuzu but don't you have a match today as well?" Gongenzaka replied.
"Yes, later on. I will be dueling someone from the Unno Divination School, Mieru Houchun. But we felt it was important to cheer you on first."
"Yeah Gongenzaka. Shame though you have to duel on another team." said Yuya.
"I shall not disrespect the Gongenzaka Dojo. Our dueling style and methods will not be beaten!" replied Gongenzaka.
"Well this school certainly seems extreme." said Yuzu. Outside there were various males in robes, training. "Since the new summons have been introduced, I wonder how many of these schools have learnt a new method. Hey Gongenzaka, maybe you should learn a new method!"
"I don't need to learn a new method!" replied Gongenzaka. Yuya was surprised at this.
"But Gongenzaka... ever since this dimension stuff started, most people are learning new methods for their decks. We need you to progress in this tournament with us. Not that I don't trust you to but we need you at your best." said Yuya.
"The teachings of Gongenzaka Dojo will see us through. Don't worry." he replied.
"Well something tells me Reiji didn't release all the summons and organize this tournament for just money. It has to do with the threat of this Academia. What is his goal?" Yuya answered back.
"You may now enter." said a male. Gongenzaka entered the dueling arena. He waved to his two friends as they waved back.
Gongenzaka entered a courtyard inside the temple. There was a Real Solid Vision projector underneath the ground. Gongenzaka came face to face with his opponent.
The male wore a red shirt with torn pink sleeves. He had long purple hair with a green tied knot around his neck.
"Good luck." said Gongenzaka but the male didn't answer.
"Who is this guy again?" asked Yuzu in the viewing gallery.
"Gongenzaka said he was Isao Kachidoki. He is one of the top students at RyozanpakuSchool. Kachidoki looked at Gongenzaka.
."Quit now. Or else." he replied.
"The man Gongenzaka will do no such thing!" replied Gongenzaka.
"Very well." said Kachidoki. Kachidoki had a yellow duel disk. He activated it and a purple blade appeared.
"This guy means business." said Yuzu.
"Ryozanpaku School is. They only aim to get results." replied Yuya. Gongenzaka activated his duel disk.
"Very well. So let's duel!" The Real Solid Vision projector spun around a tall mountain begun to form. Gongenzaka begun to rise up on the mountain. Kachidoki was at the bottom of the growing mountain. Both duelists looked at each other as the mountain stopped growing.
"DUEL!" both yelled as the Action Cards dispersed.
Turn 1
Gongenzaka LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Kachidoki LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I the man Gongenzaka shall summon Superheavy Samurai Flutist!" A purple machine with gold pipes attacked to its legs was summoned. It had a flute attached.
Superheavy Samurai Flutist ATK: 500 DEF: 1000 Machine/Earth/LVL 3
"When I Normal Summon this card, I can tribute it in the same turn. Then in return, a Superheavy Samurai monster can be Special Summoned from my hand! Be gone Flutist!" Flutist faded away as Gongenzaka played another card on his sliver duel disk. "I Special Summon Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei in defence mode!" The monster was a tall machine dressed like a human with black and orange amour. It swung a large spear around.
Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei ATK: 1000 DEF: 3500 Machine/Earth/LVL 8
"I end my turn." said Gongenzaka as he stood behind his mighty defense. "Let's see if you can get around that!" Gongenzaka stood firm on top of the mountain. Kachidoki also remained on spot.
"I will." replied a stern and cold toned Kachidoki.
Turn 2
Gongenzaka LP: 4000 Hand: 3
Kachidoki LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"Draw!" yelled Kachidoki as he looked as his hand. "If you control a monster and I don't, then I can Normal Summon Hayate the Earth Star!" A male with purple and orange amour appeared. He held a long golden staff and wore a catlike skin over his head.
Hayate the Earth Star ATK: 2100 DEF: 0 Earth/Warrior/LVL 5
Yuya looked from the viewing gallery. "I have heard of this Kachidoki and he used to use Tribute Summons, as did everyone else before that day. I wonder if he has changed his strategy. "
"Gongenzaka hasn't though." replied Yuzu.
"I know but Gongenzaka won't move. In neither a duel nor his mindset." Gongenzaka looked at Hayate and was unmoved.
"Is that all?"
"Yes." replied Kachidoki, much to Gongenzaka's surprise.
Turn 3
Gongenzaka LP: 4000 Hand: 3
Kachidoki LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"Fine. I draw!" yelled Gongenzaka. "I equip Superheavy Samurai Soulshield Wall to Benkei! It gains 1200 more defence points!" Benkei stood up and gained a green spiked shield.
Benkei DEF: 4700
"Benkei can attack while in defence mode!" Benkei spun his spear in the air as he launched an attack at Hayate with his staff. Hayate raised his staff up and blocked Benkei's attack. The deflection then pushed Benkei back, making Gongenzaka look in shock. "What happened?!"
"If this card is targeted for an attack while I control only this monster, then I can negate the attack!"
"Fine. I guess I end my turn." said Gongenzaka.
"Kachidoki is on home turf and he isn't using any Action Cards." said Yuzu to Yuya.
"This is the Ryozanpaku School. Students are taught that victory is the only thing that matters and there not allowed any contact with the outside world until they turn pro. They are drilled and well trained. I guess Kachidoki is studying Gongenzaka."
"Really? What a nasty school. Why would they send anyone here?"
"It gets results. There are more people making it here than most other schools. Only LDS make more." Yuya and Yuzu looked on with concern.
Turn 4
Gongenzaka LP: 4000 Hand: 3
Kachidoki LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"Time to end this. I draw!" yelled Kachidoki. Kachidoki begun running at a fast pace and quickly begun to jump up the mountain. Each jump, he went up a level. Yuya and Yuzu were surprised to watch this.
"He's making his move!" shouted Yuya.
Kachidoki landed and saw an Action Card. He grabbed and played it. "Your end starts now! I play the Action Card, Battle Swing! I target a monster on the field and it switches battle positions!"
"NO!" yelled Yuzu, Yuya and Gongenzaka at the same time. Benkei stood up as it changed positions.
Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei ATK: 1000
"Next I'm playing Polymerization!" yelled Kachidoki.
"Polymerization?! That's the card Sora used against me, which means..." said Yuzu.
"Which means he is going to Fusion Summon!" added Yuya.
"I Fusion Summon with Hayate the Earth Star on my field and Tenma the Sky Star in my hand!" Tenman was a warrior dressed in olden amour. Both monsters rose into the whirlpool and spun around. "O stars racing through the heavens, soaring above the earth, now become one, and shine as the star of the eternal conqueror! Fusion Summon! Come! Idaten, the Star of Supreme Victory!" A warrior dressed in purple amour appeared with a long brown staff.
Idaten the Conqueror Star ATK: 3000 DEF: 2200 Light/Warrior/Fusion/LVL 10
Gongenzaka looked in shock. "What a powerful monster..."
"Next I equip it with the Equip Spell Magic Star Sword!"
"Equip Spell?!" said Yuzu. Idaten's staff disappeared as it was replaced with a golden and red sword.
"If a Spell Card is added to my hand then I can send it to the grave to increase Idaten's attack by 100!"
"That's it?" said Gongenzaka. "There has to be something else with that equip card."
Kachidoki begun to move further up the mountain. Kachidoki saw an Action Card and picked it up."I send this Action Card to my graveyard to increase its attack by 100."
Idaten the Conqueror Star ATK: 3100
"No way could he be looking to get that many Action Cards?" said Yuzu to Yuya. Yuya didn't reply as he was concerned.
Kachidoki once again made his way up the mountain. He had sent three more Action Cards to the grave.
Idaten the Conqueror Star ATK: 3400
"What on earth is he planning?" said Yuya. "Gongenzaka! You better move and stop him!"
"No!" replied back Gongenzaka. "I will never change my stance. I shall not move!" Kachidoki smirked.
"Fine for me then." He had gained a further three more Action Cards.
Idaten the Conqueror Star ATK: 3700
"But Gongenzaka!" said Yuya.
"But nothing. Even if he does attack me, Soulshield can be sent to the graveyard to negate the attack!" he replied back. Kachidoki got closer and closer to Gongenzaka as he grabbed two more Action Cards.
Idaten the Conqueror Star ATK: 3900
"Damnit!" said Yuzu. "Him not moving has meant Kachidoki can collect the cards he needs!"
Kachidoki had gotten within reach of Gongenzaka at the top. Right before Gongenzaka was an Action Card, all he had to do was to bend down and pick it up. Gongenzaka remained firm as he crossed his arms and waited for Kachidoki to reach him.
"Fool!" yelled Kachidoki. He grabbed the Action Card and spun in mid-air. He landed at the top along with Gongenzaka.
Idaten the Conqueror Star ATK: 4000
"Ten Action Cards. Amazing." said Yuzu in awe.
"I attack!" Idaten ran towards Benkei and pulled out its golden sword, ready to attack.
"Did you not hear me? Soulshield can be sent to the graveyard and negate your attack!"
"I heard you!" As Gongenzaka was about to send Soulshield to his graveyard, Kachidoki begun running and launched a kick towards Gongenzaka.
Gongenzaka was caught out by the incoming Kachidoki. He stopped trying to send Soulshield to the grave and instead was looking directly at Kachidoki. Kachidoki slammed his foot into Gongenzaka's stomach. Gongenzaka fell to the floor and knelled over in pain.
"GONGENZAKA!" yelled Yuzu and Yuya.
"I use Idaten's effect! When this monster battles a monster with a level less or equal to my Idaten's ten, then the monsters attack is reduced to zero!"
"NO!" shouted Yuya as he banged the glass on RyozanpakuSchool's viewing went charging into Benkei and Benkei fell to the floor as it lost all its attack.
Benkei ATK: 0
"END THIS!" yelledKachidoki. He pulled out the sword and slashed it across Benkei's chest, destroying him. Gongenzaka was still on his knees in pain. The blast from Benkei's destruction made Gongenzaka scream in pain.
Gongenzaka LP: 4000 – 0 Kachidoki Wins
The Action Field faded away as Yuya and Yuzu ran into the arena. "Gongenzaka!" yelled Yuya. Gongenzaka was kneeled over in pain and Yuzu tried to help him up but he couldn't move.
As Gongenzaka was in pain, Kachidoki bowed his head towards someone. A long bearded male in a rope appeared. It was Ryozan Godagawa, the head of Ryozanpaku School. Yuya and Yuzu turned and faced him. "Hey! You're the head around here aren't you!" yelled Yuya. The male stopped walking and turned to Yuya.
"Yes I am. How may I help you?" "Your student here injured my friend! What is with the violence?" Yuya yelled back. "Violence? You make it sound like that is a bad thing." Yuya was shocked by this. "You don't win duels through standing still nor by making people smile. Action Duels are for the fittest and the toughest. "
"So that excuses you?!" responded Yuya. Yuzu had helped Gongenzaka up.
"We don't need an excuse. What we did is perfectly fine and within the rules. We get results. No matter what." Ryozan turned to Kachidoki. "Good win today." Kachidoki bowed once more. The two walked off.
"That... power..." said a weak Gongenzaka. "Maybe... I do need to improve myself..."
"That man!" shouted Yuya as he clenched his fist.
"Yuya!" shouted Yuzu. "Let's go! Gongenzaka needs to go to hospital."
Yuya continued to stare at the now walking off Kachidoki, his eyes slowly turned red.
