Edit 02/01/2023: Fixed a plot hole in a later turn of the duel, where a duelist had more LP than they should have. Also added the Custom Cards list, which was previously missing.
Chapter 7: The Clearest Wings
Yuya had been able to recover his senses not long later, but now he was back to being unable to do much of anything, as Dennis had been outed as a traitor and a Fusion Spy. The Duel Palace had been destroyed in the duel, but on a much greater level than during Gong's duel against Ren. After a night where Yuya had barely been able to move, the second round was kicked off. It was announced that because of the destruction, they had been granted permission to use the duel lanes for the rest of the tournament. It wasn't long later when the first duel of the new round was announced to be Yuya vs Yugo. "This will be interesting. This is the guy that looks like us, and I believe the one I was duelling back when we met."
"Yeah, it is. To think now I have to duel him."
"Well, we will just have to give it our best shot. I also believe that if we lose, it won't be the Underground we go to, given what happened following my duel with him."
"But if we defeat him?"
"I doubt there will just be the two of us in this body anymore."
"Well, I need to get ready. We'll be able to reflect following the duel."
And with that, Yuya grabbed his deck, and headed down to get changed into his riding suit. He then entered the arena on his duel runner, where Yugo was waiting having got to the start a few minutes beforehand. "Wait, are you that guy from earlier?" Yugo asked upon seeing Yuya's face,
"No I'm not," Yuya replied, "Although there is a long story that would take too long to explain here."
"Yeah, right! Well let this be the rematch!" Yugo declared, revving the engine on his runner.
"Let's duel!" both duellists declared as they started tearing down the track, racing to be the first out of the Palace, as that now decided the turn order. Yugo managed to edge Yuya out at the last moment, however, and the first turn was his.
Yuya: 4000 LP
Yugo: 4000 LP
Turn 1: Yugo
"Alright!" Yugo exclaimed, "I'll start things off by activating my Speed Draw spell card, allowing me to discard my Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice to draw two new cards! And now I summon my Speedroid Double Yoyo to my field!" A creature that looked like two yoyos connected by a thin pylon appeared.
Speedroid Double Yoyo: Level 4, 1800 ATK
"And now my Double Yoyo activates its ability allowing my Red-Eyed Dice to be resurrected!" The yoyo reached into a graveyard portal and pulled out the golden six-sided die that Yugo had discarded earlier, "My Red-Eyed Dice then allows me to change Double Yoyo to a level 6 monster!"
Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice: Level 1, Tuner, 100 ATK
Speedroid Double Yoyo: Level 4 - Level 6
"Now my Dice tunes with my Yoyo! Beat your wings to whip up a whirlwind of destruction! I synchro summon my level 7, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" Yugo yelled as his dragon emerged, adjusting its wings as it got used to the new space before roaring.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon: Level 7, 2500 ATK
"I now end my turn with a face down!" Yugo called, passing the turn to Yuya.
Turn 2: Yuya
"I now draw, and I set my Pendulum Scale with scale 1 Stargazer Magician and scale 8 Timegazer Magician! I'm taking control of this duel, starting now!" Yuya called as he placed two of his most reliable cards on the edges of the blade on his duel disk, "I'm now allowed to summon monsters from levels 2 through 7 all at the same time! Swing far pendulum, carve the arc of VICTORY! My monsters are ready. To swing into ACTION!" Yuya's portal opened, and three lights emerged, before appearing as his monsters, "Hop to it, Performapal Bow Hopper, tilt and shake Performapal Teeter-Totter Hopper and turn up the heat Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" all of Yuya's monsters emerged from the portal summoned by his magicians, but something odd happened when Odd-Eyes appeared. Instead of its normal roar, it instead made a much more aggressive one, with Yugo's Clear Wing seemingly reciprocating.
Performapal Bow Hopper: Level 4, 1500 ATK
Performapal Teeter-Totter Hopper: Level 4, 1200 DEF
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: Level 7, 2500 ATK
"I now build my overlay network using level 4 Bow and Teeter-Totter hoppers! Cloaked in shadows and relentless in its objective, I call upon the most dangerous of dragons! I Xyz Summon, Rank 4, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" When Yuto's dragon emerged from the galaxy shaped portal, it roared, but like Odd-Eyes, this roar was different, with Odd-Eyes and Clear Wing also reciprocating. Yuya and Yugo suddenly both got a pain in their heads, and when they looked up, something was different. Yugo's eyes were now solid white with a teal border, so to speak, while Yuya's were just glowing, hatred and malice coalescing into a dark purple aura that had appeared.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon: Rank 4, 2500 ATK, 2 ORU
"Yes, YES!" both boys suddenly declared, "It is almost time. The fourth approaches, then I'll be able to reunite after all these years!" At this moment, a purple duel runner burst from the roof of a nearby building, the rider wearing a fully purple riding suit, his face the same as Yuya, Yuto and Yugo's, but with his eyes glowing like Yugo's, just with a purple border rather than teal.
"Intrusion Penalty: 2000 LP." The system announced, releasing an electric shock that stripped the newcomer of half his starting life points.
Intruder: 4000 LP - 2000 LP
"I'm going to end my turn with a face down!" Yuya growled, his voice much gravellier than it normally is.
Turn 3: Intruder
"I'll take the next turn, so I draw!" the newcomer said, "I now activate the spell Super Predap Fusion! This spell allows me to special summon two 'Predap' monsters from my hand, and then fusion summon with them! I summon my Predaplant Moray Nepenthes and my Predaplant Orthys Scorpio!" Two plant/monster hybrids appeared on the mystery duellist's field, but they didn't stay long, converting into red and blue energy and starting to swirl together, "I fuse the two delightful monsters on my field to create the gardener's perfect dream! Say hello to the vicious, venomous and voracious: Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" A fourth dragon appeared, roaring in unison with the other three.
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: Level 8, 2800 ATK
"Next, I activate a spell called Predaplant Growth, and using it, I can discard Predaplant Bufolucia to gain life points equal to its attack points!"
Intruder: 2000 LP - 4000 LP
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" The boys laughed, "It is finally time! Time to reunite AS ONE! I now end my turn, allowing us to draw a card, but then the final turn automatically begins! WE DRAW!" Yugo had drawn a card, but it seems that his turn had been skipped by who- or whatever was in control.
Turn 4: Yugo
[Draws then immediately ends]
Turn 5: Yuya
"I now activate the spell card I drew!" Yuya called, echoed by the others, "Power over Space and Time Relearned activates, allowing my magicians to return to their TRUE FORMS! Rise to my field, Astrograph and Chronograph Sorcerers!" The monsters in Yuya's pendulum zones started to glow before they vanished, but reappeared on the field, looking older, but both with mastery over their respective elements.
"I activate the ability of - " Yuya started before getting interrupted,
"I play a trap! Utopic Cancellation!" A voice yelled from somewhere. Out of the shadows a man in his 30's jumped out, a duel disk activated, and a card depicting a monster in kingly armour, a stylised '39' on its shoulder plate, slamming down a red stamp on a piece of paper, "I negate your monster's ability, then Utopic Cancellation allows me to summon a 'Utopia' or 'Utopic' monster from my extra deck while ending your turn! I call on the warrior of hope, Number 39: Utopia!" A monster not too dissimilar to the one in the trap appeared, and when it did, both Astro- and Chronograph Sorcerers stopped glowing. The intrusion penalty also took effect at this point, and the three riders grinded to a halt.
Intruder No. 2: 4000 LP - 2000 LP
Number 39: Utopia: Rank 4, 2500 ATK, 0 ORU
Turn 6: Intruder No. 2
"I'll be going next, so I draw! Then I activate the spell card Double Summon allowing me to summon 2 monsters normally instead of one!" The second intruder stated, "I use this to summon my Gagaga Magician and my Gagaga Girl!" The two monsters that were wearing clothing one could only describe as 'punk' appeared, settling with the girl rather close to the magician.
Gagaga Magician: Level 4, 1500 ATK
Gagaga Girl: Level 3, 1000 ATK
"Then my monsters use their special abilities to set their levels to 8! Go, Gagaga Change!" 4 stars on the belt-like object on the magician's waist lit up, while the girl dialled a number on the phone in her hand.
Gagaga Magician: Level 4 - Level 8
Gagaga Girl: Level 3 - Level 8
"I now overlay my two level 8 monsters and build the overlay network!" The two monsters disappeared into a very much more sparkly golden galaxy, light erupting from the portal, "I call on the Number that guided my friend. Arise, Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon!" A dragon swooped in from the portal, majestically flexing its wings.
Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon: Rank 8, 4000 ATK, 2 ORU
"I then activate the spell cards Galaxy Switchand Depth's Call which by halving my life points twice allows me to switch a material on Number 62 with a Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon in my deck, then I'm allowed to resummon the monster sent to the graveyard, then summon 2 monsters with the same level from my deck! I replace the material representing Gagaga Magician, which allows me to summon it along with my Zubaba Knight and my Gogogo Golem!" His deck glowed, a card emerging before turning into a golden ball of energy, replacing one orbiting Number 62, which expanded into the magician that was used, calling two more monsters with it.
Intruder No. 2: 2000 LP - 1000 LP - 500 LP
Gagaga Magician: Level 4, 1500 ATK
Zubaba Knight: Level 4, 0 ATK
Gogogo Golem: Level 4, 1800 ATK
"I then activate the last card in my hand! Number's Call! Whenever I summon a 'Number' Xyz monster this turn any monster on my field gets to be treated as two! I use my Gogogo Golem which I treat as two, along with my Gagaga Magician to build one overlay network, and my Zubaba Knight, which I treat as two, to build a second! I now call forth my other friend's Numbers! Swim from the depths my Number 32: Shark Drake and get a good look at Number 101: Silent Honor ARK!" Two new monsters emerged from the portals, both looking menacingly at the dragons on the boy's fields.
Number 32: Shark Drake: Rank 4, 2800 ATK, 2 ORU
Number 101: Silent Honor ARK: Rank 4, 2100 ATK, 1 ORU
"Hah, all that effort for what?" The boys questioned simultaneously, "4 Xyz monsters, most of which don't have all their overlay units? Pathetic!"
"Just you all wait!" The man declared, "I detach 1 material from Number 101 to replace that unit with that Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!"
"WHAT?!" the boys yelled as Starving Venom was turned into a watery-blue orb that then merged with the one already on the Number,
"I now attack that Clear Wing Synchro Dragon with my Number 62, who uses its special ability, allowing it to detach one material, then I get to increase its attack points by 200 for each and every rank on the field! Photon Integration!
Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon: 4000 ATK - 8800 ATK
"NOOOO!" All three boys yelled as Number 62 struck at Clear Wing defeating it and Yugo instantly.
Yugo: 4000 LP - 0 LP
"Now my Numbers 39 and 101 attack the one I took the dragon from! Rising Sun Honor Slash!" The two monsters started an assault very quickly demolishing the first intruder.
Intruder: 4000 LP - 1500 LP - 0 LP
"Now Number 32 attacks your Xyz Dragon," the man declared, "End that dragon now!"
"I play a trap!" Yuya snarled, "Defensive Restrictionshall change all my monsters to defence mode, as long as I send a card from the top of my deck to the graveyard for each rank/level they have!" All of Yuya's monsters were immediately switched to defence mode, and 24 cards flew from the top of his deck to the grave.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: 2500 ATK - 2000 DEF
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon: 2500 ATK - 2000 DEF
Astrograph Sorcerer: 2500 ATK - 2000 DEF
Chronograph Sorcerer: 2000 ATK - 1700 DEF
Yuya's dark dragon was hit, immediately being turned into a fine yellow powder, but it soon returned, this time in attack mode, with 1000 less attack points. "By using my Shark Drake's special ability, your monster returns with 1000 less attack points and my Drake can attack again for the low, low cost of 1 overlay unit." His opponent informed him.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon: Rank 4, 2500 ATK - 1500 ATK, 0 ORU
Number 32: Shark Drake: 2 ORU - 1 ORU
"Huh? What's this?" the man asked, having accidentally kicked an Action card, which upon reading it, immediately got excited, "Alright! I'm really feeling the flow now! I play the Action spell Tribute Render which allows me to tribute my Number 62 to give Number 32 an ability of its. I chose the attack boosting one, and what's more, I don't have to pay costs for this effect this turn!"
Yuya gasped as the Number on the other field absorbed the powdered form of the comrade that had been tributed, its attack points swelling.
Number 32: Shark Drake: 2800 ATK - 6000 ATK
"Attack Dark Rebellion with Deep Sea Surge!" A massive wave was summoned, and it crashed into Dark Rebellion, destroying it and dealing enough damage to defeat Yuya instantly.
Yuya: 4000 LP - 0 LP
Intruder No. 2 Wins!
As the Action field dispersed, the duel being over, Sector Security helicopters and duel runners appeared, surrounding the man, who was told he was under arrest, and in addition to handcuffing him, Yuya, Yugo and the first intruder were also handcuffed, albeit Yuya and Yugo having protection by the High Council, so Security had to deposit them back at the stadium. Everyone there was shocked by the turn of events. Not only had the duel been interrupted twice, the duel was won by the second interrupter, and it wasn't a proper Turbo Duel. It was then announced that, due to the interruption, the duel would be redone. Yuya approached Yugo during the half hour that they had to prepare with one goal in mind.
"Hi Yugo. About the duel we are about to have," Yuya began,
"What?" Yugo interrupted, "Is this about the dragons?"
"Well, yes," Yuya admitted, "I was considering the fact that after we summoned our dragons, that thing occurred. I don't think it would be wise to summon them again."
"Yeah I-" Yugo's reply was cut off and his eyes started to widen as he noticed something, or someone, behind Yuya, "Hey, watch out!" He called out, but it was too late as Yuya started to smell chloroform as a rag was pressed over his mouth and nose, something similar happening to Yugo.
