Turn 1

Reiji LP: 4000 Hand: 5

Himika LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"I start." said Reiji as the two faced off inside the cage. "I play the Continuous Spell, Dark Contract with the Gate. This allows me to add a level four or below D/D monster from my deck."

"I know how your deck works Reiji, save me details."

"Fine, I add D/D Nighthowl. Next I summon D/D Cerberus!" A three headed black dog appeared on the field with red markings.

D/D Cerberus ATK: 1800 DEF: 600 Dark/Beast/Pendulum/LVL 4 – Scale 6

"I set one card facedown and end my turn. Let's see what you've got in store Mother."

Turn 2

Reiji LP: 4000 Hand: 3

Himika LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"You don't think I'm capable of dueling do you Reiji?" asked Himika with a smirk.

"I never underestimate anyone. Yes, you are more on the business side but I doubt Leo would send you here without some knowledge of dueling."

"He's your father, don't call him Leo!"

"He stopped being my father the moment he chose to card the other dimensions. I still believe that there is good in you Mother."

"Draw! I summon Ritual Beast Tamer Elder!" An elderly man with long hair and a beast appeared. He wore beige ropes with a green scarf.

Ritual Beast Tamer Elder ATK: 200 DEF: 1000 Wind/Physic/ LVL 2

"Ritual Beast? I haven't seen that before." thought Reiji.

"Next, his effect allows me to Normal Summon one more Ritual Beast this turn. Appear Spiritual Beast Cannahawk!"

"Spiritual?" said Reiji. A black winged hawk came to the field. It had a white body and golden horns which looped backwards.

Spiritual Beast Cannahawk ATK: 1400 DEF: 600 Wind/Thunder/LVL 4

"Cannahawk's effect! I can banish a Ritual Beast Card from my deck and add it to my hand during my second standby phase after using this effect! I banish the Spell, Ritual Beast Return. I Fusion Summon with Cannahawk and Tamer Elder!"

"You didn't play a Fusion Spell." said Reiji firmly. "Looks like you need to do more work on your dueli-"

"No Reiji. It's you who needs to learn. I Contact Fuse!"
"Contact what?!" shouted back Reiji.

"I Fusion Summon without a Spell Card! Go Cannahawk and Elder!" Both monsters lifted up into the Fusion Whirlpool. "I Fusion Summon! Ritual Beast Ulti-Apelio!" A female with a red cape riding a purple lion was summoned. The female held a long green staff.

Ritual Beast Ulti-Apelio ATK: 2600 DEF: 400 Wind/Pyro/Fusion/LVL 6

Reiji took a step back in shock. He had just been outsmarted by his own mother.

"Contact…Fusion… how… what is this?!"

"There are further evolutions Reiji. I was given top education. You see while I was "away", I went to Academia and Leo taught me personally!"

"There's more to the summons?!" Reiji replied.

"Back to the duel! I attack!" Apelio charged forward with the female riding it. "When she attacks, until the end of the damage step, it's unaffected by card effects!"

"No!" said Reiji with annoyance. Apelio slashed away at Cerberus and destroyed it.

Reiji LP: 4000 – 3200

"Now I use Apelio's other effect! I return this card to my extra deck and then I can Special Summon my two banished monsters to the field in defence mode!"

"What?! How many things have they taught you?" said Reiji shocked once more. Himika placed the Fusion Card back into her extra deck and Cannahawk and Tamer Elder returned to the field.

Spiritual Beast Cannahawk ATK: 1400 DEF: 600 Wind/Thunder/LVL 4

Ritual Beast Tamer Elder ATK: 200 DEF: 1000 Wind/Physic/ LVL 2

"What are you planning- No! Can't be!" said Reiji as he stopped mid-sentence.

"Yes! I Fusion Summon once more! Appear Ritual Beast Ulti-Pettlephin in defence mode!" The two monsters fused together as a young female with blonde hair appeared riding a purple dolphin. It had blue amour on its head and back.

Ritual Beast Ulti-Pettlephin ATK: 200 DEF: 2800 Wing/Aqua/Fusion/LVL 6

"I set a card and end my turn. You see Reiji; you can't beat the power of Fusion. They will just keep coming back and back!"

Turn 3

Reiji LP: 3200 Hand: 3

Himika LP: 4000 Hand: 3

"We will see about that." said Reiji as he drew his card. "I take 1000 points of damage from my Dark Contract." Reiji flinched in pain as he took electoral shock from his duel disk.

Reiji LP: 3200 - 2200

"When I take battle damage, I can Special Summon this from my hand! Appear D/D Orthros!" A twin headed silver-haired beast appeared. He was wrapped in blue amour and it stood on its back legs.

D/D Orthros ATK: 600 DEF: 1800 Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/Tuner/LVL 4 – Scale 3

"Now I use Dark Contract with the Gate to add one D/D monster from my deck! I add D/D Horseman. Next I set scale three Horseman along with scale eight D/D Savant Dirac!"

Horseman 3 - Dirac 8

"Now appear from my extra deck, D/D Cerberus and from my hand, D/D Savant Copernicus!" The Pendulum Portal opened up and Cerberus roared back onto the field. Savant Copernicus appeared as a fireball encased by a brown and green frame. It looked like a globe.

D/D Cerberus ATK: 1800 DEF: 600 Dark/Beast/Pendulum/LVL 4 – Scale 6

"Savant Copernicus allows me to send a D/D monster from my deck to the graveyard. I send a second D/D Savant Copernicus. Now I shall Normal Summon my D/D Nighthowl!" The monster was a giant pair of jaws with teeth.

D/D Nighthowl ATK: 300 DEF: 600 Dark/Fiend/Tuner/LVL 3

"All this stalling for nothing." said Himika with confidence.

"Well we have different definitions of stalling then. Nighthowl allows me to bring back my Copernicus in the graveyard!" The second Copernicus appeared.

D/D Savant Copernicus ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/LVL 4 - Scale 1

"First I tune Nighthowl with Copernicus! Synchro Summon!"

4+3=7

"Appear before me! Level seven! D/D/D Gust King Alexander. A sliver knight with a green cape appeared onto the field.

D/D/D Gust King Alexander ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Wind/Fiend/Synchro/LVL 7

"Next I overlay my Cerberus and Copernicus!" Both monsters entered the XYZ whirlpool "XYZ Summon! Rank four! D/D/D Wave King Caesar!" A giant warrior in purple amour appeared on the field. He had a huge sword which he swung around.

D/D/D Wave King Caesar ATK: 2400 DEF: 1200 Water/Fiend/XYZ/RNK 4 - OU: 2

"Now I use my D/D Horseman's Pendulum effect and Fusion Summon!"

"HOW?!" replied Himika.

"I can Fusion Summon with monsters in my extra deck by banishing them! I send Copernicus and D/D Cerberus and Fusion Summon! Appear my DDD Oracle King d'Arc!" The monster was a demon with huge blue and red wings. It had white amour on with a sword in its left hand. It swung it's sword on the field and Sora looked on it awe.

D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000 Dark/Fiend/Fusion/LVL 7

Reiji stood with all his monsters in front of him. Himika snarled at him.

"Now since I Special Summoned with Gust King on the field, I can bring back a D/D monster from the graveyard. Return my Nighthowl."

"Can't be…" said Himika.

"Yes. I tune Alexander and Nighthowl!" Both monsters lifted up and tuned together.

7+3=10

"D/D/D Gust Emperor Executive Alexander!" A knight covered in sliver amour appeared with a mighty long sword. He had green wings with lit up blue orbs across his amour.

D/D/D Gust Emperor Executive Alexander ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500 Wind/Fiend/Synchro/LVL 10

"Level ten?!"

"Now Alexander doubles its attack points if there are two or more D/D monsters on the field, expect this monster." Alexander charged up his blade.

Alexander ATK: 6000

"Attack Alexander!" Alexander launched his sword towards the dolphin. Himika was confident.

"I use her effect! I return this to my extra deck and bring back its materials!" Once again Cannahawk and Elder reappeared in defence mode.

Spiritual Beast Cannahawk ATK: 1400 DEF: 600 Wind/Thunder/LVL 4

Ritual Beast Tamer Elder ATK: 200 DEF: 1000 Wind/Physic/ LVL 2

"And next I use my Trap!"

"Trap?!"

"I play Ritual Beast Steeds! I destroy as many monsters you control X the amount of Ritual Beast's I control! Be gone Alexander and d'Arc!" Two whirlwinds came out and wiped out Reiji's Fusion and Synchro monsters. Reiji had to shield his eyes from the destruction. At the same time however, Reiji was smirking.

"Fine! I use an overlay unit from Wave King!"

King OU: 1

"I will explain soon! Now Wave King, destroy Cannahawk!" Wave King slashed his sword down and destroyed the bird.

"Damn you." said Himika.

"Now since I used an overlay unit, upon the end of my battle phase, I can bring as many monsters destroyed this turn back to the field. I will take 1000 points of damage X the amount of monsters bough back during my next standby phase. Return my monsters!" d'Arc and Alexander returned.

D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000 Dark/Fiend/Fusion/LVL 7

D/D/D Gust Emperor Executive Alexander ATK: 6000 DEF: 2500 Wind/Fiend/Synchro/LVL 10

"And I just got rid of them." thought Himika.

"I end my turn."

Turn 4

Reiji LP: 3200 Hand: 0

Himika LP: 4000 Hand: 3

"Draw." said Himika with annoyance. Reiji smirked as he gained the advantage. "I summon Ritual Beast Tamer Lara!" A long blonde haired female in a light green dress appeared. She had a green skirt and held a long staff.

Ritual Beast Tamer Lara ATK: 100 DEF: 2000 Wind/Psychic/LVL 1

"When Normal Summoned she can bring back a Ritual Beast from the grave. Return Cannahawk!"

Spiritual Beast Cannahawk ATK: 1400 DEF: 600 Wind/Thunder/LVL 4

"I play Ritual Beast's Bond!" Himika played a Spell on her duel disk. "I banish two Ritual Beasts' and then Special Summon a Ritual Beast from my extra deck, ignoring the summoning cost!"

"Ignoring?!"

"I banish Tamer and Cannahawk. I bring forth! Ritual Beast Ulti-Gaiapelio!" A giant tiger with a whole island on its back appeared. A young female was riding it.

Ritual Beast Ulti-Gaiapelio ATK: 3200 DEF: 2100 Wind/Physic/Fusion/LVL 10

"So you skipped the summoning cost. You really have been taught well Mother." said Reiji.

"Wait until you try this. The Spell, Ritual Beast's Calling! For each currently banished Ritual Beast monster, that many monsters you control are destroyed! I don't know all your tricks and games Reiji, but I know d'Arc will recover your lifepoints! I banish that and Alexander!" Reiji watched as his two monsters were banished from the field "Attack!" Gaiapelio charged forward and destroyed Wave King. Reiji once again shielded his face.

Reiji LP: 3200 – 2400

"Next turn, you will end yourself." said Himika. "And you shall become a card…. unless you wish to reconsider? Think about it Reiji. You're a CEO but you could be so, so much more. A god!"

"A god you say?" said Reiji, as if he was interested.

"Yes! A god!" Reiji smirked.

"Gods are mighty, gods are strong. You and Leo are anything, but. Carding people is anything, but. Don't insult my intelligence!" shouted Reiji.

"Don't say I didn't give you a last chance. Now I end my turn! Prepare to end yourself!" Reiji smirked.

"When Wave King is destroyed, I can add a Dark Contract to my hand from my deck. I add Illegal Dark Contract with the War God."

"Time for your end!"

Turn 5

Reiji LP: 3200 Hand: 1

Himika LP: 4000 Hand: 3

"My end then, very well." Reiji drew his card.

"And now you take all that damage!" shouted Himika.

"I would… but I have this to stop it all."

"You bluff!" said Himika, shocked.

"I don't lie, unlike you and Leo. When I would take battle damage, I can Special Summon Dirac from its Pendulum Scale!" Dirac disappeared and then emerged on the field in defence mode.

D/D Savant Dirac ATK: 800 DEF: 1600 Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/LVL 3 – Scale 8

"And since he was Special Summoned, I take no effect damage for the rest of this turn." said Reiji with a smirk.

"NO!" shouted Himika. "You snake!"

"Funny. I thought the same about you. "I use Dark Contract with the Gate to add a D/D monster to my hand. I add D/D Savant Archimedes and now I summon it!" A aged man with a white beard appeared. He wore green robes.

D/D Savant Archimedes ATK: 100 DEF: 200 Dark/Fiend/LVL 3

"When this card is summoned, I can add a D/D/D Ritual Monster and a Ritual Spell Card from my deck to my hand! Normally I would take 3000 points of damage due this, but Dirac saves me. I add the Ritual monster D/D/D Prime Churchill and Dark Contract of the Raven! And I Ritual Summon from my field! I tribute Archimedes and Dirac to Ritual Summon my level six monster! A cauldron formed as both monsters flew into it. "Appear D/D/D Prime Churchill!" The monster was slim knight with dark blue amour. He held a giant yellow staff and his helmet had three blue visors which spiraled around.

D/D/D Prime Churchill ATK: 2000 DEF: 1600 Dark/Fiend/Ritual/LVL 6

"When Ritual Summoned, I can Special Summon one D/D/D monster from my graveyard! Return Wave King!" Churchill pointed to the floor and a blue portal formed. Wave King arose.

D/D/D Wave King Caesar ATK: 2400 DEF: 1200 Water/Fiend/XYZ/RNK 4

"Now Churchill's second effect!"

"Another?!"

"Yes! When a D/D/D monster is Special Summoned while I control this card, it gains equal to half of the Special Summoned monsters attack!" Wave King pointed his sword to Churchill and transferred its power to his fellow monster.

Churchill ATK: 3200

"Our monsters have the same attack! You still can't win!"

"Leo told me an important lesson once about running a company, and it implies here as well. Never get ahead of yourself. I play the Continuous Spell, Illegal Dark Contract with the War God!"

"You added that to your hand!"

"Looks like you did get ahead of yourself. I target one D/D monster and one monster you control and until the end of the battle phase, my monster gains 1000 attack while your monster loses 1000!"

"No!"

"Churchill, power up!" Churchill increased in size as it further gained strength. Ulti-Gaiapelio powered down.

Churchill ATK: 4200

Ulti-Gaiapelio ATK: 2200

"This ends! Go Wave King!" Wave King leapt forward and slashed Ulti-Gaiapelio across its side. The monster blew up as soon as Wave King leapt back to Reiji. Himika watched as her monster was wiped out.

Himika LP: 4000 - 3800

"Now end this Churchill!" Churchill raised his sword high into the air and it became surrounded by blue energy. Churchill charged forward and slashed Himika across the chest. She was knocked backwards and time seemed to slow down. She saw Reiji tower above her as she fell to the ground. Her mind went blank as she collapsed. Fear had taken over.

Himika LP: 3800 – 0 Reiji Wins

Himika hit head against the virtual bars of the Real Solid Vision cage. The bars faded away and Reiji walked towards her.

"I….I lost." said Himika weakly.

"Yes. Now you will face justice for your crimes."

"I will…" Himika continued. "Do you know what happens to people who lose on the battlefield for Academia? They are returned and carded. I was meant to battle you and I lost… I shall now be carded."

"Well you haven't teleported away just yet." said Reiji. "Now tell me what Academia is planning!" Himika looked at her duel disk.

"Yes… I haven't teleported yet… maybe… maybe I've been given another chance… I won't fail Leo." she thought. "Reiji" said Himika. "I will repent. I'm sorry. Please help me up."

"I don't trust you." said Reiji with a stern response.

"Fine." A sharp-eyed Himika quickly got up and shoved Reiji to the floor. Reiji landed on his rear and his deck came out of his duel disk.

"What are you doing?!" shouted Reiji. Himika didn't answer and she saw a Pendulum Card on the floor. She picked it up and smirked.

"This will please your father." After she spoke, Himika teleported away in a purple light. Reiji looked up and slammed his hand down on the floor. He knew that he had given Academia the power of the Pendulum.

"NO!" he shouted.

Academia – Throne Room

Much to her surprise, Himika was teleported inside Leo's throne room. Himika looked around and there on his throne was Leo.

"Le… Leo…. I'm sorry." she stuttered. Leo stood up and placed a purple and yellow duel disk on. He walked down the steps and was now stood above his wife. "Leo… Leo..." Leo gave a direct stare to her.

"You lost. That's inexcusable." said Leo. Himika looked with fear as he held out his duel disk. "But, you did retrieve a Pendulum Card."

"Wh-what?" said Himika. Leo bent down and took the Pendulum Card.

"You did well dear."

"Le- Leo, I'm happy you like it." she said with uncertainty.

"This just saved your life." he replied. "But you must go through a few more classes. I can't have you losing again." said Leo.

"Yes, of course! Anything for you Leo." she replied.

"Dennis." said Leo. A holoscreen appeared next to him and his right hand man appeared.

"Yes Professor?"

"Send everyone. The invasion starts now!"

Standard

Yuzu was walking along the Forest Action field and she heard a loud stampede of running. She looked through the trees and on the other side she could see numerous students wearing blue uniforms running through the field. They didn't see her but Yuzu looked with bemusement.

"Who… who are they?!" she thought.
