Chapter 8: The Hero of Xyz
Yuya regained consciousness an unknown amount of time later in a very dark room. So dark in fact that he could barely see a foot in front of him. "Is anyone there?" he asked groggily,
"Yuya?" He heard the voice of who would have been his opponent in the friendship cup ask in return, "Do you have any clue where we are?"
"Yugo? Well, I don't. Last I remember was a rag being pressed to my face, and then I woke up here."
At that moment, a door opened, letting a stream of light into the room, both boys covering their eyes as it was too bright. A switch was then flicked, and they saw the man who had intruded on their duel second in front of them. Now that they could actually see him, they noticed that he was rather tall and he was wearing a brown adventurer's suit modified with a shoulder plate not too dissimilar to one of the monsters he had summoned, a golden key-like object with a green jewel around his neck. His hair tufted into two red spike-like curls that was complemented by black hair that formed more spikes around his neck. "Well, look what the dragon dragged in," he commented, "Now there is no need to thank me, but I just saved both your lives."
"Um, no you didn't!" Yugo exclaimed, "You kidnapped us!"
"Yeah," Yuya agreed, "We were fine! We weren't even going to summon our dragons in the re-duel!"
"I didn't save you from each other, but from Sector Security," The man sighed, "They were planning to sabotage your duel and arrest you both once you dropped off radar. Caused quite the scene with your dragons that I believe they want to prevent happening again."
"Wait, speaking of Security, how did you escape?" Yuya inquired,
"You know that other guy who had that dragon? Well, he managed to cause a distraction as he escaped which I used to my advantage."
"Ah. Well, my name is Yuya, and I wish we met under better circumstances." Yuya said,
"And my name is Yugo. And yes, I am aware that it sounds like another word, but before you comment on it, get it straight that my name is and always was Yugo, not 'Fusion'!" Yugo passionately stated,
"Whoa there, I wasn't going to!" The man commented, "My name is Yuma, and I'm one of the best, and most famous, duellists where I come from!"
"And where is that?" Yugo asked, "I've only really met one person from outside New Domino, and she was from a different dimension entirely!"
At this, Yuya's eyes widened mostly because he realised that that girl must have been Zuzu. Also, there was evidence that this man, Yuma, was from another dimension as well, considering that he used Xyz monsters.
"Ah, well I'm from Heartland City. Well, at least I was before it was destroyed." He said dejectedly,
"You're from Xyz?" Yuya asked, confirmation dawning on his face, "How did you get here to the Synchro dimension?"
"To be entirely honest, I'm not entirely sure. I was walking through the ruins, as you do now-a-days, searching for survivors when my key started glowing and suddenly, I was on a rooftop in this city. I found out that a duel tournament was going on, so I decided to watch, and before I knew it, I had to interject with your duel."
"Why did you though?" Yugo inquired,
"Past experience has told me that when someone's body does something it shouldn't, it usually isn't a good thing," Yuma then looked over his shoulder, and sighed after a few seconds, "Yes, Astral, that's obviously what I'm referring to. I mean look at what the Numbers did as a whole!"
"Wait, it looks like you were just talking to someone? Who was it?" Yuya interjected,
"Long story that will probably make no sense short, I have a spectral entity from an alternate world that follows me around."
Yuya, able to know what this is like, just smiled, "I also have a similar situation. Yugo was dueling this guy Yuto and now I have Yuto's voice in my mind for reasons that I don't quite understand." Yuto then appeared, surprising both Yuya and Yugo, Yugo as he could see him, and Yuya as now Yuto's form looked rather solid.
"Ah, Yuya," Yugo started, "I think a ghost just appeared!"
"Relax Yugo! That's just Yuto, although I will say, you look surprisingly solid Yuto."
"Yes, it is strange. Either something occurred in that duel, or the apparent presence of these otherworldly entities are affecting me." Yuto noted as Yuma got an idea,
"Say, you seem to know about what happened in Heartland if you can comment on me being from an 'Xyz' dimension. Do you know anyone from there?"
"Actually, I do," Yuya confirmed, "Other than Yuto, there is this guy Shay Obsidian, do you know him?"
"Shay Obsidian? Know him, I practically raised him alongside his sister. His father is a long-time friend of mine," Yuma laughed, "Speaking of which, it reminds me on how I hadn't seen his father for a while before I warped."
Yugo was rather lost in this conversation, so he decided to speak up, "So I know that there are other dimensions, but what is so special about this Xyz dimension? Why does it being destroyed seem important?"
Yuma got a glint in his eye, as if suggesting the nerve of Yugo, or potentially the pain of the memories were rather high, but luckily Yuya noticed and answered Yugo, "The Xyz dimension was razed by the Fusion dimension and a school named 'Duel Academy' alternatively known as 'Academia', however according to Declan, people who call it that are very few and far between. I don't know their reason, but when they invaded, they destroyed almost everything, and turned just about everyone, including innocent civilians, into cards."
Yuma then breathed before saying, "And I should know. It isn't everyday that you and your two best friends lose most of, if not all, of your family. Kite's the lucky one with his children surviving. I was only 5 minutes from my house when they got there. I arrived home just in time to see my wife and children turned into cards by those apes!" as he got to the later part of his little rant he started raising his voice, a bit of malice towards Duel Academy seeping in, "I saw the cards. The looks of horror on their faces when they were carded. My family stood no chance, so I dueled them and won. And when I did, I decided to give them a taste of their own medicine and card them!" After this, Yuma took a small break to breath and calm down, "Shark was like me. Just too late, and Kite was on a mission overseas at the time. He only found out when Shark and I found him when he returned. That day I believe we each single-handedly took out a legion of those 'Obelisk Force' soldiers, carding them with no mercy, like they showed our families."
Yuya and Yugo were both shocked by this, at the sheer hate that had been projected on to the soldiers. Of course, they both understood it perfectly, as Yuya already despised them for what they had done, and Yugo was just blindsided by the atrocities that had been committed, but he knew that if anything happened to Rin, he would have likely done the same.
"That's horrible!" Yuya exclaimed, "I can't imagine what it would be like to lose your family in one day. I mean, I lost my dad when I was much younger and that almost ruined me, so I know how you feel."
"Yeah," Yugo commented, his voice noticeable less energetic than it normally is, "I never knew my parents, but Rin was like a sister to me. I still remember the day that creep took her away! That's why Yuto and I were fighting you know. We had both mistaken each other for the one who had taken Rin and that Lulu girl, but it must have been that guy with the Fusion Dragon."
"Lulu's missing?" Yuma inquired, "Do either of you know exactly when it occurred?"
"Not even Yuto knows," Yuya replied, "And he was practically at the site where it occurred, although it occurred relatively recently for him."
"So I would have warped out by then," Yuma mused mostly to himself, a rather sad tone in his voice, "Kite must be livid. He loved that girl more than anything. She was his world. Yes, Shay was the older and more talented one, but he always had a soft spot for his darling little daughter."
"Well, we should probably find a way to Xyz and then Fusion after that," Yuya commented, "I know that my allies will have a way, so I believe that the sooner we get there, the better."
"One of the entities has suggested that I take you on the airship that resides in my key. Although, I don't know how it would work. Although I do also guess that I have used it to go to different dimensions before. Part of that long story." Yuma added that last part upon seeing the rather confused looks on Yuya and Yugo's faces. They then spent a rather decent chunk of time on deciding how they were going to traverse dimensions, although Yugo seemed to care more about his duel runner, despite many, many statements that it would be fine. They eventually figured out the logistics, Yuma having to interpret for the being who was introduced as Astral, and Yuya for Yuto, due to the fact that both sides couldn't see a few members. They then went outside, where what looked like a massive collection of golden gears was awaiting them, a green beam of light running across the balloon-like structure. "Welcome to the Different Dimension Airship!" Yuma excitedly said, "Astral, take us up!" And with that, a green beam appeared, pulling the party into the base of the structure. Once in there, Yuya and Yugo saw a blue-ish being, vaugley human in appearance, but it was floating a metre off the ground, gem like orbs attached to its skin. "Are you Astral?" Yuya asked,
"Yes," The being, now identified as Astral, replied, "I am Astral, a being from the Astral World, and Yuma's long-time friend and travelling companion."
"How is it that we can see you now?" Yugo interjected, "I mean we weren't back down in the city."
"I theorise that the airship may have something to do with it."
"Of course it does Astral. You should be used to things like this, I'd think!" Yuma jokingly called out, having been setting the course. "The course is set. Next stop, the ruins of Heartland." Yuma said, a melancholic frown on his face.
They then set off, almost immediately entering a wormhole-like structure, zipping through to the Xyz dimension. While they were on the airship Yuma called over, "Hey, I was thinking why don't we duel? I mean, it could be either of you, I'm just kinda itching for a duel."
"I'll duel you," Yuya said, "After all, what's the harm?" With this, he readied his duel disk, and they went to the prowl of the ship to duel.
"Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to offer a slight change to the rules for this duel. The duellist who goes first can still draw. Also, we won't use Solid Vision. Instead, we'll use an AR Link. You'll need these!" Yuma informed Yuya of this then chucked an old-fashioned duel disk and a small headset at him, also giving one to Yugo so he can spectate, "That's a D-Pad and a Duel Gazer. We won't be able to use an AR Link without them."
"OK." Yuya said, removing his deck from his duel disk and putting it in the D-Pad's deck slot, also putting his extra deck in his pocket, since the D-Pad had no extra deck slot. He then fit the Duel Gazer over his left eye, with Yuma doing something similar. Their Duel Gazers then shone a bright light as a computerized voice announced, "Generating augmented reality vision link", and then the duel begun.
Yuya: 4000 LP
Yuma: 4000 LP
Turn 1: Yuma
"I'll take the first turn, so I draw!" the older man called, "By lowering my Dododo Warrior's ATK by 500, I can summon it without tribute! Arise!" A Viking-like warrior appeared on Yuma's field, wielding a battleaxe. It let out a battle cry of Dododo! before settling down, axe at the ready.
Dododo Warrior: Level 6, 2300 ATK - 1800 ATK
"Then by activating my Onomatacallspell, I can summon my Gagaga Magician, and Dododo's level becomes equal to Gagaga's!" The monster from the last duel who was wearing the robe and chain appeared, glowering at Yuya.
Gagaga Magician: Level 4, 1500 ATK
Dododo Warrior: Level 6 - Level 4
"Now with my two monsters, I build the overlay network! Come forth my old friend, Number 39: Utopia!" Yuma's golden warrior emerged from the galaxy portal, flexing its fist before taking a stance, ready to strike.
Number 39: Utopia: Rank 4, 2500 ATK, 2 ORU
"And with that, I play two cards face down!" Yuma declared, ending his turn.
Turn 2: Yuya
Ok, so he has his ace out already. Just means that Odd-Eyes will have a greater fight! Yuya thought, "I draw!" Yuya saw his card, and realised how perfect it was, "I activate the Performapal Persuasion spell! This allows me to take control of Utopia, at the cost of sending my Performapal Cheermole to the graveyard." Upon Yuya's discard, Utopia jumped onto his side of the field,
"Damn, gonna have to try harder on my next turn!" Yuma called, not realising that Yuya had started to gain eyes that glowed. When Utopia had joined his field, he felt a strong presence, as if the card itself was trying to take over. 'What's this?' a voice that he hadn't ever heard before hissed from within, 'Just going to have to make this power mine!' Yuya then looked at his hand and saw two cards that he got a feeling to use. "I set one card face down, then activate the spell card Performance Speed-Up! This allows me to activate my face down Performapal Copy Force! This allows me to banish my The Phantom Knight's Rank-Up-Magic Launch from my deck, then I can rank-up an Xyz monster I control, ignoring the conditions on the Rank-Up-Magic I banished!" Yuya's voice was getting deeper by the word, a gravelly tone being added. His eyes now glowed bright red, a dark aura around him. Despite this, Yuma and Astral looked unconcerned, Yugo looking on in both confusion and intrigue. "I rebuild the overlay network with MY Number 39: Utopia! Go! CHAOS Rank-Up Xyz Evolution! Emerge from the darkest depths to regain your throne from the pretenders! Emerge from the darkest depths and reveal the form that your old master must have been afraid to bring out! Rank 5, CHAOS NUMBER 39: UTOPIA, THE SUPREME KING OF DESPAIR!" Yuya yelled, the overlay network exploding with green energy. Out of the portal emerged Utopia again, but it suddenly started to writhe, green energy lines appearing across its body, Utopia's muscle mass increasing exponentially. The most shocking change to Yuma and Astral was the fact that the stylised '39' that all 'Number 39' monsters had was replaced with a glowing green version of Yuya's pendant, a rather large dragon bursting from the top. The new monster bellowed, in pain or rage it was unknown.
Number C39: Utopia, the Supreme King of Despair: Rank 5, 3000 ATK, 3 ORU
"Yuma," Astral noted, "This duel got a lot more intense. We need to destroy that Number immediately!"
"Already on it!" Yuma informed his duelling partner, "I play the trap card-"
"NO YOU DON'T! When my monster is summoned, you aren't allowed to play spells or traps for the rest of the turn!" Yuya interrupted,
"What?!" everyone else said disbelievingly,
"My monster now gains those traps you tried to use against me as overlay units! Go, Despair Absorption!" The two face downs on Yuma's field then turned into dark orbs that started to orbit Yuya's new Number.
Number C39: Utopia, SKD: 3 ORU - 5 ORU
"Uh, that looks bad." Yugo said from the sidelines,
"Nothing I can't handle." Yuma reassured the Turbo Duellist,
"Oh, trust me, I'm about to win," Yuya laughed, "I summon my Performapal Revive Cowwho's ability allows me to resurrect my Cheermole from the graveyard, then I can increase a monster I control's ATK by Cheermole's. Revive to give Utopia the strength needed to give my fans what they want!" While a confused look shot across everyone else's face, Yugo in particular, as he had seen Yuya duel before, and this wasn't anything like it, Yuya's Cheermole revived, and Utopia started glowing, being imparted by strength. "My Cheermole will also strengthen Utopia, as since its attack points are higher than they should be, it gains an additional 1000 points!" Utopia's already massive bulk suddenly increasing even more.
Performapal Revive Cow: Level 2, Tuner, 200 ATK
Performapal Cheermole: Level 2, 1000 DEF
No. C39: USKD: 3000 ATK - 4600 ATK
"Careful Yuma," Astral warned, "It's attack just increased by 53%!"
"This should be fun!" Yuma laughed, clearly not daunted by the new strength if Yuya's monster,
"Now my Utopia attacks! Blood-Soaked Sun Slash!" Utopia drew one of its swords and charged at Yuma, ready for the kill.
"I activate Gagaga Defender's special ability! By discarding it, I can negate that attack, then my Defender destroys your monster!" Yuma called, sending the last card in his hand to the graveyard, Utopia's sword disappearing,
"By using one overlay unit, Utopia isn't destroyed, also I can add one spell card from YOUR deck to my hand by discarding Supreme King's Edict from my hand! I add your Double or Nothing that my D-Pad informs me you have to my hand, which I then activate! This grants my Utopia the ability to attack again with twice as much strength, and the Cheermole grants my Utopia an additional 1000 points." Yuya growled in response, Utopia powering up even more.
No. C39: USKD: 4600 ATK - 10,200 ATK, 5 ORU - 4 ORU
"I now attack you directly and end this duel! SUPREME KING'S SETTING SUN SLASH!" Utopia charged at Yuma again, an almost humorously large sword in its hand. Yuma, Astral and even Number 96's eyes widened, but Yugo jumped in, activating the D-Pad that the Duel Gazer he was given to observe the duel was linked to.
Yuma: 4000 LP - 0 LP
Intrusion
Yugo: 4000 LP
As the blade hit Yuma, defeating him nearly 3 times over, Yuya turned to Yugo, a serene rage over his face. "I guess I have to crush you now Synchro!" he declared, "Don't you think it is time for us to rejoin as one? I know that the Pendulum and Xyz dragons are desperate to be reunited with their Synchro sister."
"I don't know what you are going on about, but I won't faulter. That 'Number' monster is doing something weird to you and I'll stop it!" Yugo declared, drawing his opening hand,
"You fool! I have full control over this Number. It serves me! But it doesn't matter, I end my turn, and Double or Nothing's effect ends." Utopia started to relax a bit by comparison, its attack value decreasing.
No. C39: USKD: 10,200 ATK - 5600 ATK
Turn 3: Yugo
"I draw!" the Synchro duellist declared, "I start things off by activating Speedroid Manipulation! By sending my Speedroid Rubber Band Plane to my graveyard, I can give your monster a level equal to Rubber Band Plane's!"
Yuya grunted as his monster lost its rank, gaining a level instead.
No. C39: USKD: Rank 5 - Level 5
"Then my Speedroid Meet-Up allows me to summon my Plane back since I control no monsters! Then I normal summon my Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice!" Yugo's field suddenly gained two monsters, the one he had discarded, and a small golden die that had eyes all over it, "Red-Eyed Dice allows me to increase my Plane's level by 1!"
Speedroid Rubber Band Plane: Level 5 - Level 6, 1800 ATK
Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice: Level 1, 100 ATK
"You wanted to see my dragon? Well, why don't I let you! My level 1 Red-Eyed Dice gives my Level 6 Rubber Band Plane a quick tune up! Beat your wings to whip up a whirlwind of destruction! Level 7, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" Yugo called, his ace spreading its wings.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon: Level 7, 2500 ATK
Suddenly, the two remaining cards in Yugo's hand started glowing, confusing everyone, including Yuya at this. When the glow subsided, he saw that both the cards had changed. Both being totally different cards. We need to free him! A feminine voice whispered in Yugo's head, You know what needs to be done. "Alright," Yugo started, "I will now play my Speedroid Pendulum Call which allows me to search any two 'Speedroid' Pendulum monsters from my deck and put them in my hand by banishing my Rubber Band Plane. I add my Speedroid Dice Lord and my Speedroid Card Shuffler from my deck, and now I place my Scale 1 Dice Lord and my Scale 6 Card Shuffler in my pendulum zones!" Yugo placed the two cards in the spell/trap opening, the pendulum zones appearing and a large die with a crown and sceptre along with a humanoid playing card holding a deck of playing cards appeared in them
"WHAT?!" Yuya yelled, "I'm the only one with Pendulum!"
"Well, not anymore!" Yuto declared, "Now let's rev our engines to welcome my White Wing Magician to the field! I pendulum summon!" A young woman emerged from Yugo's pendulum portal, wearing an outfit rather similar to Clear Wing's plating. She immediately went over to Clear Wing waving at it, Yugo's dragon roaring in response.
White Wing Magician: Level 4, Tuner, 1600 ATK
"Card Shuffler's pendulum ability activates! I can now add my Roid Synchro-Fusion from my deck to my hand, and now Dice Lord's pendulum ability allows me to negate my Magician's abilities to change its level to that of a 'Dice' monster in my graveyard. White Wing's level becomes one, the same as my Red-Eyed Dice!" As Card Shuffler shuffled the deck of cards, one emerged from Yugo's deck, and an image of Red-Eyed Dice appeared over White Wing as her level was reduced.
White Wing Magician: Level 4 - Level 1
Fusion, Yuya thought, How does he have a card like that?
A small smirk appeared on Yugo's face. "I could destroy that Number now, but I'll hold off! I activate Roid Synchro-Fusion! This spell allows me to Synchro AND Fusion summon using the same two monsters I control, as long as one is either a '-roid' monster or was summoned with one! I now use my magician and dragon to awaken the world of new possibilities! GO! SYNCHRO-FUSION! Spread those wings shining with sacred light. Strike down your enemies with that radiance! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 8, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon! I also am able to combine the dragon with the most destructive wing beats with the magician who can tame those! Go Fusion Summon! Take flight,the dragon who's bond with its soul has evolved to the next level, Clear Wing Sorcerer Dragon!" Two new dragons emerged from Yugo's summoning portals, one the upgraded form of his ace that he'd had since he could remember, the other a new one, crackling with wind energy, it looked similar to Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, but it instead had blue wings in addition to the neon green ones it already had. Both Dragons roared, shaking the arena.
Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon: Level 8, 3000 ATK
Clear Wing Sorcerer Dragon: Level 8, 3000 ATK
"When Sorcerer Dragon is summoned, I can summon my Synchro Dragon right back, but unfortunately for me, you can summon a dragon typed monster from your deck or extra deck for each dragon typed monster I control, which is 3." Yugo said, his ace returning to his field,
"So you managed to evolve weak little Clear Wing? Impressive. I will be utilising your effect, but I'll only call out 2 monsters, and I think you know which ones! I summon Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon from my extra deck and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon from my main deck!" Yuya growled, his two ace dragons appearing.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon: Rank 4, 2500 ATK, 0 ORU
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: Level 7, 2500 ATK
Upon appearing, Odd-Eyes and Dark Rebellion roared out, and for some reason, the duellists thought that they heard a conversation between the dragons.
"Join us Clear Wing. You know it is the only way to regain our true power." Odd-Eyes spoke,
"Yes," Dark Rebellion continued, "Submit to the master's power, and we can finally be reunited once again!"
"I will never join you willingly," Clear Wing countered, backed up by her two new counterparts, "And you all thought me the weak one. Your disciples must be disgraced considering that I can't sense them anywhere. If that doesn't tell you how weak you are, I don't know what will."
"Well then, dear sister, we'll just have to show you how wrong you are! Our master will allow us to achieve new forms even stronger than that!" Dark Rebellion countered,
"I wonder what Starving would think of this new form. He'll be insufferable once he learns about it unless we take it down!" Odd-Eyes laughed, and the dragons went silent.
"Were our dragons just talking?" Yugo questioned, "Eh, doesn't really matter right now. Crystal Wing, attack Utopia! Crystal Refraction!" Crystal Wing swooped up into the air, preparing to strike,
"HA! Utopia is still stronger! It seems that you have misjudged after all!"
"Wrong! Crystal Wing gains the attack points of a level 5 or higher monster it battles!"
"So that's why you changed Utopia's rank to a level. It doesn't matter though. Utopia prevents me from taking damage when it battles, also I can remove an overlay unit instead of letting it be destroyed!"
"When a 'Synchro Dragon' monster I control battles, Sorcerer Dragon can negate that monster's effects until the end phase! Also, by banishing the Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon from my extra deck, I can add any spell from the graveyard back to my hand! I choose my Roid Synchro-Fusion!"
"NO!" Yuya exclaimed as Yugo's dragon powered up, and Yuya's Utopia was left defenceless.
Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon: 3000 ATK - 8600 ATK
Yuya's Number stood no chance, with Crystal Wing tearing through it, dealing almost enough damage to end Yuya instantly, its attack returning to normal after the fact.
Yuya: 4000 LP - 1000 LP
Crystal Wing: 8600 ATK - 3000 ATK
"I now have my Sorcerer Dragon attack your Dark Rebellion! Winds of Mayhem!" Yugo called, his new dragon accumulating the wind energy along its arms and also in its mouth. It then released them, tearing through the battlefield, Dark Rebellion included.
Yuya: 1000 LP - 500 LP
"Now in my second main phase, I activate the spell Roid Synchro-Fusion again!"
"But you don't have a monster that was summoned with a '-roid' monster nor a tuner monster. It is worthless!"
"Wrong again! When I control both a Synchro and Fusion monster, I can treat one monster on my field as a '-roid' tuner monster and can decrease the levels of two monsters of my choice to 2! I reduce Clear Wing and Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon's levels, also treating Crystal Wing as a tuner!"
Yugo's monsters started glowing as they gained their new properties.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon: Level 7 - Level 2
Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon: Level 8 - Level 2, Tuner (Treated as a -Roid monster)
"Now my monsters will all combine together to create two brand new dragons! For my synchro summon, level 2 Crystal Wing tunes my level 2 Clear Wing Synchro Dragon and my level 8 Clear Wing Sorcerer Dragons! When three brilliant dragons come together, watch the lustre of their wings increase ten-, no, a hundredfold! I Synchro summon! Rise from the clouds above, level 12, Neo Crystal Clear Sorcerer Synchro Dragon and for my Fusion summon my monsters combine together to upgrade my Sorcerer's capabilities! I Fusion summon my Clear Wing Sorcerer Dragon – The Ruler of Winds!" Two new monsters emerged from the portals, one a three headed white and blue dragon, its scales a mixture of blue, green and a see-through crystal, and the other a larger version of Yugo's fusion monster, the winds howling around it.
Neo Crystal Clear Sorcerer Synchro Dragon: Level 12, 4500 ATK
Clear Wing Sorcerer Dragon – The Ruler of Winds: Level 10, 4500 ATK
"So your dragons upgraded more, so what! I will defeat you and we shall get an additional step closer to being one again!" Yuya laughed as the three headed dragon spoke to Yuya's surviving dragon.
"Odd-Eyes, you have to see reason! Can't you see that the madman you are serving is going to be the end of us all?" It growled,
"I serve the true master. You must truly be weak if this is the only way that you can beat me!" Odd-Eyes replied, and the dragons faced off.
"I have to end my turn now, so take your best shot!" Yugo called,
"Gladly. I'll show you the true power that I hold!" Yuya snarled.
Turn 4: Yuya
"I draw!" He called, "I activate Supreme King's Orders. This spell allows me to summon my Dark Rebellion back and then I can turn it and my Odd-Eyes into one of my most loyal servants. For this, they are both treated as level 12 monsters, so I overlay these two dragons to create something that I regret to have to bring out. His talents wasted on someone like you. I build the overlay network and Xyz summon a whole new terror! My monster shall take you down! Rise, the unparalleled king of fear, Supreme King General Odd-Eyed Rebellion!" A dragon that appeared so dark that it absorbed light appeared from the portal until it revealed that it had dichromatic eyes, like Odd-Eyes, light also gleaming off silver appendages like Dark Rebellion.
Supreme King General Odd-Eyed Rebellion: Rank 12, 4500 ATK, 2 ORU
"So Clear Wing," the new dragon hissed, its voice seemingly being a combination of both Odd-Eyes and Dark Rebellion's, "This is OUR true strength. At least without you and Starving."
At this moment, Yuma got up from the ground, seeing the 3 massive dragons, not to mention the dark aura around Yuya, which radiated hate and menace. "What's going on?" he questioned,
"I'm just finishing up this duel!" Yugo called out, a bit relieved to see Yuma back on his feet,
"You're not finishing this duel. I am!" Yuya snarled with even more malice,
"Yuya, please listen to me! I don't know what's going on, but I think that you need to stop right now!" Yugo yelled at the pendulum duellist,
"Don't use that name anymore. Call me Zarc. That is my true identity!"
"Zarc? I'll say that doesn't suit you Yuya. What happened to the duellist who only wanted to make everyone smile? I didn't get to see you duel much, but from what I saw, it was incredible!"
"Oh, everyone WILL smile. They will smile as their champion arrives to complete his mission! I end my turn since it would be stupid to attack."
Turn 5: Yugo
"Very well, I draw!" the turbo duellist said, "I now activate my Master of Winds' special ability! By halving its ATK points, I can destroy one monster on the field. And you can't respond to this since my Neo Crystal Clear Wing is on my field!"
"What? How?!" Yuya argued as his dragon roared, being blown away by the winds generated by Yugo's dragon.
Clear Wing Sorcerer Dragon – The Master of Winds: 4500 ATK - 2250 ATK
"Now go Neo Crystal Clear Wing Sorcerer Synchro Dragon! Attack Yuya directly and end this duel! Blistering Hurricane of Crystal Winds!" Yugo's strongest dragon started to prepare a blast of energy that was quickly unleashed upon Yuya, engulfing him almost immediately.
"NOOOOOO!" Yuya shouted as his life points dropped to zero, and his voice returned to normal.
Yuya: 500 LP - 0 LP
Yugo Wins!
Next Chapter Preview: Yuya, Yugo and Yuma arrive in the Xyz dimension and begin to make their way to a resistance base to get acquainted with some of Yuma's friends and duel mates. What happened in their duel still hangs over Yuya's head who now has some questions.

Hey all. As I'm sure most of you have heard, the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Kazuki Takahashi passed away a few days before this chapter was published. I was deeply saddened upon learning of this, which is part of the reason this chapter is a bit late, and would like to pay my respects to the man and express my gratitude that he created what would become one of my favourite franchises ever.
On a different note, however, thank you for reading this chapter. It is my longest one yet, clocking in at about 5500 words excluding the custom card list and, of course, this, which means that we have reached over 25000 words, so I would like to say thanks to those who have been here for a while, and even those who are picking up this story when I publish this. Thank you all for reading, regardless if it is just a casual flick through, or if you wait for me to post each new chapter, as it is that which allows me to carry on this story.
It's a bit hard to think that just over two months ago this story was just an idea that I had that I decided to write down, and two-ish months, 8 chapters, 25000+ words and almost 2500 views later, I am here writing this note. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, and I hope that you continue to support me and my work, even if it is just by clicking on the link to read a chapter every now and then.
I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in the next one, and please leave a follow if you want to stay up to date with my story, and if you especially enjoy it, please consider leaving a favourite. If you have any comments you wish to make, please leave a review, and I'll see you all next time - NightWingBOI
