"First, I'm going to activate the Continuous Trap Rank/Level Switch! With this, I can choose either my Field or the opponent's Field, and when I do, all Monsters Levels are turned into Ranks. Furthermore, all Xyz Monsters have their Ranks changed into Levels. I declare your Field." Yuto yelled.
"What!" Allen and Sayaka exclaimed while Kaito merely gasped in shock.
Cipher Dragon: Rank 8-Level 8
Heavy Armored Train Sound Breaker: Rank 4-Level 4
Fairy Hope Girl: Rank 5-Level 5
"Turning their Monster's Ranks into Levels…Oh yeah! Fairy Hope Girl and Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon now have Levels with 5 and above, so Dark Rebellion can use his effect!" Shun exclaimed.
"I'm not letting that happen!" Allen retorted as he raised his hand to his Monster.
"I activate the effect of my Heavy Armored Train Sound Breaker! By detaching an overlay unit, I can target one Monster on the Field whose original Attack is lower than this Card, then, I can destroy that Monster and inflict damage to you equal to the difference in Attack!"
Sound Breaker shot a missile at Dark Rebellion.
"Alright! With this, Allen saved their Monsters from losing Attack!" Rio cheered from the side.
"Not so fast, Allen! I activate the Trap Phantom Knights' Wing! I target Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, it gets 500 Attack, and only once I can stop its destruction!" Yuto yelled as the missile hit Dark Rebellion. However, Dark Rebellion lifted his wings and survived.
Dark Rebellion: 2500-3000 Atk
"Alright! Nice job Yuto!" Shark yelled in support of his best friend.
"Damn!" Allen cursed as his attempt failed.
"Go, Yuto!" Ruri exclaimed with a smile.
"Now, I activate Dark Rebellion's Monster effect, by detaching one overlay unit, until the end of the turn, I can halve the Attack of a Level 5 or higher Monster, also, Dark Rebellion gains the lost Attack. Treason Discharge!" Yuto yelled as he pointed at Cipher Dragon.
Dark Rebellion opened his wings and shot electricity at Cipher Dragon. After the electricity dissipated, Cipher Dragon slumped over to signify that he was weaker.
Cipher Dragon: 3000-1500 Atk
Dark Rebellion: 3000-4500 Atk
"Once again, I use Dark Rebellion's effect, but this time on Fairy Hope Girl!" Yuto yelled as Dark Rebellion shot electricity at Fairy Hope Girl. Fairy Hope Girl started screaming as she was losing power.
Fairy Hope Girl: 4300-2150 Atk
Dark Rebellion: 4500-6650 Atk
"6650 Attack!" "That's an insane amount" was repeatedly heard in the audience.
"Amazing! With only two Cards, Yuto has immediately turned the tides." The announcer yelled.
"I activate the Magic Card, Xyz Assault! By paying 1000 Life Points, an Xyz Monster I control can attack 2 times this turn!" Yuto exclaimed.
Yuto: 2400-1400 LP
"What!" Rio exclaimed.
"Alright! With this, Yuto can take out two of them! Wait, they have set Cards. Oh no!" Shark yelled with a worried look on his face.
Kaito has two facedowns, Allen doesn't have any, and Sayaka has one. Kaito and Sayaka might have something. I can't attack, it's too risky! Yuto thought.
"Yuto!" Ruri cried out.
"What?" Yuto asked as he turned to Ruri.
"Attack, I have your back!" Ruri assured Yuto.
"I do too! Don't be afraid. You can do it!" Shun exclaimed with a smile on his face.
Their facedowns! Yuto realized. How could he be so stupid, Ruri and Shun were with him, they will help him. This is a Tag Duel after all.
"Alright! Thanks guys." Yuto said with confidence.
"Battle, go Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, attack Heavy Armored Train Sound Breaker!" Yuto declared.
Dark Rebellion started to fly towards Sound Breaker.
"Oh no! I don't have anything!" Allen exclaimed.
"I activate the Trap Mirror Force! When a Monster you have declares an attack, I can destroy all Attack position Monsters you control!" Sayaka exclaimed.
"Thanks a bunch Sayaka!" Allen thanked the girl.
"You're not making it out that easily! I activate the Trap Raidraptor Reversal. When you activate a Card that would destroy a Card while I control a Raidraptor Monster, I can negate that Card, destroy it, then draw a Card!" Shun exclaimed as he drew a Card and Mirror Force shattered.
"Thanks Shun!" Yuto exclaimed.
"Like I said Yuto, I got your back." Shun told him.
"I activate the Trap Cipher Halt! By detaching one overlay unit on an Xyz Monster I control, I can end the battle phase, then I gain Life Points equal to the Attack Points of the Monster whose Attack was negated!" Kaito explained as he detached an overlay unit from Cipher Dragon.
"I don't think so, I activate Lyrical Luscinia - Wind! When you activate a Card or effect, I can pay 500 Life Points, negate the activation, and destroy the Card!" Ruri exclaimed.
Ruri: 4000-3500 LP
Cipher Halt was negated and destroyed.
"Oh no!" Kaito exclaimed as he looked at Allen.
"Oh Sh…" Allen didn't get to finish his sentence as his Monster was headbutted and destroyed by Dark Rebellion while Allen was sent flying back.
Allen screamed as he tumbled across the floor.
Allen: 4000-0 LP
"Allen! Are you ok?" Sayaka asked, beginning to move toward the downed boy. She stopped when Allen sat up and gave her a reassuring smile.
"I'm alright."
"Now! Go, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon! Go attack Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon!"Yuto exclaimed as Dark Rebellion circled around and launched it's tail at Cipher Dragon.
Kaito looked at his set Card, it was Cipher Bit, a Card that made it so that if a Cipher Monster(s) would be destroyed by battle or Card effect, it wouldn't be. Also, he would be able to attach the Trap as an overlay unit to one of those Xyz Monsters. However, that wouldn't help him in this situation. Hmph, nice job you three.
Galaxy-Eyes was destroyed and Kaito was sent back flying while yelling pain. Kaito managed to put his hand on the ground, he then jumped of his hand and landed on his feet.
Kaito: 4000-0 LP
"Go! End this Yuto! I activate the Quick-Play Magic Card Raptor's Rush, by detaching an overlay unit from a Raidraptor Monster I control, a Monster on the Field can attack again! I choose Dark Rebellion." Shun exclaimed.
"Alright! This is the end!" Shark yelled.
"Thanks Shun. Now, it's over. Go! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, attack Fairy Hope Girl and end this Duel! REBELLIOUS LIGHTNING DISOBEY!" Yuto yelled as Dark Rebellion's fangs started to emit electricity. He then dug his fangs to the ground and started flying towards Fairy Hope Girl before flying upwards and slashing Fairy Hope Girl with it's fangs, destroying it.
Sayaka screamed as she was sent flying backwards.
Sayaka:4000-0 LP
Dark Rebellion, Rise Falcon, and Assembled Nightingale disappeared as the announcer yelled, "That's the end folks! The Spade Branch wins!"
The crowd starting cheering at their loudest peak in the whole day. Most of the audience was filled to the brim with the friends, family, or other members of the Spade Branch.
Ruri went to Sayaka and offered her a hand, which Sayaka gladly accepted.
"Good Duel!" She said to her friend.
"Yeah, hope to do this again sometime!" Sayaka replied.
"Sorry, Kaito, Allen, and Sayaka, I was kinda a little too rough on that last turn." Yuto apologized with a guilty expression.
"Nonsense, Yuto! We're fine!" Kaito replied with a kind smile.
"I'm not losing next time!" Allen said as he took out his hand with a big smile on his face.
"You think so? Cause this is the third time in a row!" Yuto boasted with a cocky grin.
"True, but you wouldn't have won if it wasn't for Ruri and Shun." Rio told him as she walked over to the group.
"I know, I know. Thanks for that by the way guys." Yuto told Ruri and Shun who smiled in response.
"Well, it was alright, I guess. Would have been better if I was there." Shark said as he walked towards the group.
"Oh please, if you were in the Duel your team would lose!" Rio exclaimed.
"Wanna bet!" Shark countered as the brother and sister started arguing.
"Guys, guys! Cut it out. For now, let's just do something, like grab a bite to eat." Ruri said as she got in between the Kamishiro siblings. She and the others knew that once they got going, they would be at each other's throats for a while.
"Fine. But you would have lost if Ryoga came and Dueled with you." Rio said, much to the annoyance of Shark.
Two Weeks Later
Ruri was walking through Heartland going to a shop to buy some clothes. However, she stopped when she heard some people and saw a crowd. She decided to go check it out. She saw an a magician in the air doing tricks while there was an orange haired male under it.
"Show must go on!" The male exclaimed which only hyped up the crowd even more.
The male was laughing until he saw Ruri. Could that be the girl I am looking for? He thought.
"Now, can I have a volunteer?" Dennis asked. Many people raised their hand, and out of interest, so did Ruri.
The male ordered the magician to go over to Ruri. Which, to Ruri's surprise, followed the command, then, the magician grabbed Ruri and swung her over to the male.
"Hello young lady. What is your name?" The male asked.
"Umm…My name is Ruri…Ruri Kurosaki." Ruri responded, still startled by his Monster's actions.
"Well Ruri, thank you for volunteering. My name is Dennis Mackfield. Would you care to Duel me and entertain this wonderful audience?" Dennis asked as he pointed to the crowd with a smile.
"Sure!" Ruri exclaimed as she got out her Duel Disk. She always had loved entertaining people with Dueling. This love and passion for it only grew when Sayaka introduced her to Yusho Sakaki.
Flashback-One Week Ago-Circus Tent
"Here he is, Ruri." Sayaka told her friend, grabbing the attention of her red-clothed teacher.
"Hello Sayaka, nice to see you again. Who's the girl with you? She looks...very familiar." Her teacher said with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Hello, Yusho-Sensei, this is the person I told you about, Ruri Kurosaki." Sayaka introduced her teacher to her friend.
"Hello sir, nice to meet you." Ruri greeted with a bow.
"Nice to meet you too, Ruri. Oh, now I remember, I saw your 3 on 3 Duel 1 week ago. You did very good!" Yusho complimented with an impressed smile.
"Thank you sir."
"You know, you remind me of someone else. She's the best friend of my son." Yusho told her. Yes, Yuzu. After all, she had the exact same face as this girl in front of him.
"Is that so?" Ruri asked with a smile.
"Huh? You never said anything about a son, Yusho-Sensei. If you don't mind me asking, where is he?" Sayaka asked with a curious look in her eyes.
"Far away." Yusho replied with a hint of sadness in his voice. However, Ruri and Sayaka didn't notice.
"Anyways, I have something to ask you Mr. Sakaki. Why do you Duel?" Ruri asked.
"I Duel to bring smiles, to enjoy the thrill of Dueling and have people enjoy that thrill." Yusho replied with his own smile.
Now
"I'm not holding back!" Dennis exclaimed.
"Me neither." Ruri told him.
"DUEL!"

Well, another chapter done. Sorry if it was the Duel was disappointing. I'm still new to this fanfiction stuff, so feel free to criticize if you wish.
I'm going to be doing something else that may disappoint you guys, but I'm not going to show much of the Ruri vs Dennis Duel. I'll probably be showing only the last two turns, if not I won't show any of the Duel at all. To make it up to you guys, I might have a rematch in the future or I will show flashbacks of the Duel. But one thing will be for sure, you guys will know who won this Duel. Unlike the anime that kept the outcome a secret.
I might show a little bit of Academia and the Professor next chapter, but we'll see. We're getting closer to the invasion, it will start in two or three chapters.
Fananime1: Thanks for the "advice" (if you want to call it that). I'll try not to do that mistake next time. Also, I'm sorry about mentioning this now, but you also have to list the effect of the suggested Monster (if there will even be one). I like the name you came up with by the way. Really creative, and it rhymes too :). I agree with how you said the Cards represent the character. For example, Speedroids represent Yugo's at times childish attitude and trains repersent Allen's hyperactive and outgoing personality. As for your question, I probably will include a fan Card for Yuto (I already had ideas for two Rank 4 Phantom Knights Xyz Monsters, I didn't like how he didn't get a Rank 4, and Dark Rebellion doesn't count.) As for Dark Requiem, Yuto won't use him until the invasion. Also, MINOR SPOILER ALERT, DON'T READ THIS last sentence IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED.
Yuto won't tell anyone about Dark Requiem for a while, it's going to be his own secret.
Anyways, that's all for now guys. Take care, goodbye. :)
