DUEL!
"I'll go first!" Yuto declared as Yugo rode his d-wheel past Yuto.
"Fine! You'll need it bastard!" Yugo retorted, glancing back at his enemy.
"I set three Cards and end my turn." Yuto concluded as he kept his eye on Yugo, making sure he doesn't run him over or make any other suspicious movements.
"That's all? How could you beat Rin like that?" Yugo wondered out loud.
"Who is Rin?" Yuto asked, raising his voice so Yugo could hear him.
Yugo stopped his d-wheel to a halt and shot a dark glare at Yuto. "You don't even know her name!"
"Seriously, who is Rin? I have never been out of home for a while!" Yuto informed Yugo. Unfortunately, what he said fell on deaf ears.
"Stop playing jokes with me!" Yugo yelled as he drew his Card, beginning his turn. "I activate the Magic Card Speedroid Scratch! I can send a Speedroid Monster to the Grave, then I can add a Speedroid Monster to my Hand! I send Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice to the grave, then I add Speedroid Double Yoyo to my Hand!"
"Speedroid? I never heard of those kind of Monsters before." Yuto said, sharpening his gaze at Yugo.
"Well, let me tell you this! They are nothing to take lightly! Just like me! Now, I Summon Speedroid Double Yoyo!" Yugo exclaimed.
Double Yoyo: Level 4, 1400 Atk, 1400 Def
"Double Yoyo's effect, I can Special Summon a Level 3 or lower Speedroid Monster! I Special Summon the Tuner Monster, Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice!" Appearing next to Double Yoyo was a single red-eyed die.
Red-Eyed Dice: Level 1, 100 Atk, 100 Def
"Tuner Monster?" Yuto asked.
"Don't you know what a Synchro Summon is? You can't do one without a Tuner!" Yugo informed Yuto, narrowing his eyes at his enemy's lack of knowledge of a Synchro Summon. EVERYBODY knew what Synchro Summoning was. How did this guy not know what it was?
"Synchro Monster..." A memory of Yuto popped up into his head. Now that he thought about it, the soldier that he and Shun interrogated mentioned another dimension called Synchro. Maybe this Yugo guy was from the Synchro Dimension. Wait, but then…
He wouldn't be from Academia. Wait, Academia can travel to the other dimensions. Maybe they came to his dimension and taught him in their ways. Yuto thought to himself. Although, little did he know, this was not the case.
"Alright! Prepare to see something you have never seen before! I tune my Level 4 Double Yoyo to the Level 1 Red-Eyed Dice! Lively soul of swordplay. Come, Level 5! High-Speedroid Chanbarider!" Yugo chanted as a machine-like Monster appeared to the Field.
Chanbarider: Level 5, 2000 Atk, 1000 Def
"So that is a Synchro Monster!" Yuto gazed upon the new Monster, a type he had never seen before.
"Now! Time for you to repent! Battle! Go, Chanbarider, attack him directly!" Yugo declared as Chanbarider let out a yell of enjoyment as it crashed down towards Yuto.
"Chanbarider gains 100 Attack when attacking!" Yugo exclaimed.
Chanbarider: 2000-2100 Atk
"Double Trap! Phantom Knights Lost Vambrace! I can choose one Monster you have, that Monster loses 600 Attack, then I can Special Summon Lost Vambrace as a Normal Monster in Attack Position. Also, Phantom Knights Monsters can't be destroyed this turn." Yuto explained as Chanbarider was covered in a purple mist.
Lost Vambrace: Level 2, 600 Atk, 0 Def
Chanbarider: 2100-900 Atk
"Then I'll attack one of the Lost Vambrace!" Yugo declared. Chanbarider stabbed Lost Vambrace, after it backed up, the hole on Lost Vambrace was immediately repaired, like nothing had happened at all. Yuto grunted as he took the damage.
Yuto: 4000-3700 LP
"Go, Quick-Play! Phantom Knights Double Badge! When I take damage in battle, I can use two Phantom Knights Monsters with the same Level, and with them I can perform an Xyz Summon! Piercing through ten thousand warriors, the cursed spear of rebellion entombed in darkness, descend now! Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 2! Phantom Knights Cursed Javelin!" Yuto chanted as his new Monster appeared in a blue flame.
Cursed Javelin: Rank 2, 1600 Atk, 0 Def
"Xyz Summon!" Yugo gasped in shock. He had never seen a Monster like this before. And what were those orbs orbiting it?
"Just like you, I have surprises of my own!" Yuto told Yugo.
"Grr. I end my turn." Yugo concluded. This guy would be trouble. He was starting to see why Rin would have trouble with him.
"My turn, draw! I activate the effect of Cursed Javelin, once during either player's turn, by detaching an overlay unit, I can target a Monster you control, then, that Monster's Attack becomes 0 and its effects are negated." Yuto explained as Cursed Javelin pointed his spear at Chanbarider, out came a purple mist, which covered Chanbarider.
Chanbarider: 900-0 Atk
"Battle! Go! Cursed Javelin, attack Chanbarider!" Yuto declared as Cursed Javelin jumped into the air and slashed Chanbarider with it's spear, destroying it. Yugo started riding away from the explosion so he could avoid any kind of injury. He grunted as he took damage and felt some of the explosion. Yugo kept circling around Yuto on his d-wheel.
Yugo: 4000-2400 LP
"I set one Card and end my turn." Yuto concluded as he started running away to keep a distance between him and Yugo. A set Card materialized in front of him and it immediately disappeared.
"My turn, draw!" Yugo yelled as he glanced at the Card he drew. Hmph. Now is the time. He thought to himself.
"I summon Speedroid Bamboo Horse!" Yugo declared as a machine like horse appeared.
Bamboo Horse: Level 4, 1100 Atk, 1100 Def
"I use it's effect! I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Speedroid Monster from my Hand, however, for the rest of the turn, Speedroid Monsters can't attack. I Special Summon the Tuner Monster Speedroid Tri-Eyed Dice!" Yugo exclaimed as a dice with three eyes came twisting to the Field.
Tri-Eyed Dice: Level 3, 300 Atk, 1500 Def
"Another Synchro Summon?!" Yuto exclaimed with shock. "But you can't attack with Speedroid Monsters!"
"Who said it was a Speedroid Monster I was going to Summon? Now, meet your reckoning!" Yugo yelled as he started riding his d-wheel at higher speeds.
"I tune my Level 4 Bamboo Horse with the Level 3 Tri-Eyed Dice! Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings, and strike down your enemies at the speed of light! Synchro Summon! Appear now! Level 7! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" Yugo chanted as his ace appeared with a loud roar to the skies.
"Kgh." Yuto grunted as he clutched his chest in pain. For some reason, his heart started to beat faster than usual. Also, for some reason, he had the urge to bring out Dark Rebellion and duke it out with this new dragon.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon: Level 7, 2500 Atk, 2000 Def
"I activate Cursed Javelin's effect! By detaching an overlay unit, I make Clear Wing's Attack become 0, and the effect is negated!" Yuto yelled.
"Like I would let you!" Yugo exclaimed as he thrusted his fist at Clear Wing. "When an effect that targets a Level 5 or higher Monster is activated, I can negate it, and then destroy it!"
"What?!" Yuto exclaimed in shock.
"Dichroic Mirror!" Yugo called out the name as Clear Wing let out a green light from her wings, the light kept hitting Cursed Javelin, eventually destroying it.
"Additionally, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, gains the Attack of the destroyed Monster until the end of the turn!" Yugo explained as Clear Wing was enveloped in a green aura, finally, when it dissipated, Clear Wing's eyes shined a little brighter.
Clear Wing: 2500-4100 Atk
"4100 Attack?!" Yuto gaped at the sight of the Monster staring down at him.
"It's over! Go, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, attack him directly!" Yugo declared as Clear Wing flew high into the air, with her wings shining light green. "Whirlwind Hell Diving Slasher!"
"I don't think so! From my Hand, I activate Phantom Knights Guard! When a direct attack on me is declared, I can Special Summon this Card and negate the attack!" Yuto countered as a Phantom Knights Card appeared on the Field. Immediately, Clear Wing flew back into the air towards Yugo.
Phantom Knights Guard: Level 4, 900 Atk, 2300 Def
"Damn! I end my turn. At this moment, Clear Wing Synchro Dragons effect ends, and his Attack returns to normal" Yugo concluded.
Clear Wing: 4100-2500 Atk
"My turn, draw! I Summon Phantom Knights Cloven Helm!" Yuto swiped the Card onto his Duel Disk as another ghostly Monster with armor appeared.
Cloven Helm: Level 4, 1500 Atk, 500 Def
"Now using the Level 4 Cloven Helm and Phantom Knights Guard, I overlay! Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Yuto chanted as his ace Monster appeared.
Dark Rebellion: Rank 4, 2500 Atk, 2000 Def
A moment of silence was shared between Yuto and Yugo. Dark Rebellion and Clear Wing growled at each other, they glared at each other, they started roaring to each other, as if communicating with each other. It was like they had seen each other in the past, despite this being the first time Yuto and Yugo ever meeting. In fact, it looked like the dragons had multiple feelings right now. One feeling was joy of seeing one another, the other was a feeling of rush. It's unknown why they were feeling this way to Yuto and Yugo, who were clutching their chests, lots of sweat going down their faces.
Their hearts were racing really fast ready to burst out of their. They felt the adrenaline pumping through their veins. They felt as if they had only one goal, defeat the other person. However, despite this, Yuto continued.
I can use Dark Rebellion's effect, but he will just negate the effect with his Clear Wing. Then, he will destroy my Monster and it will be over. So then with this I'll make due! Yuto thought to himself.
"I activate the Continuous Trap Phantom Sword, I make Dark Rebellion's Attack go up by 800!" Yuto told Yugo.
Dark Rebellion: 2500-3300 Atk
"Battle! Go, Dark Rebellion, attack Clear Wing!" Yuto declared as Dark Rebellion flew towards Clear Wing.
"I activate the effect of Tri-Eyed Dice in my grave, by banishing it, I can negate an attack!" Yugo exclaimed as Dark Rebellion flew back to Yuto.
"Kgh, I end my turn." Yuto concluded as he looked at Yugo and his dragon.
"Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon…that must be the Monster you used to beat Rin!" Yugo exclaimed.
"Who is Rin?" Yuto asked again, he has never heard that name until now.
"Stop lying! I swear, I will beat you to the ground and get my friend back! My turn, draw! I activate the Magic Card Speed Reverse! I can Special Summon a Speedroid Monster in my grave! I Special Summon Chanbarider!" Yugo exclaimed as Chanbarider returned to the Field.
"Battle! Go, Chanbarider, attack Dark Rebellion!" Yugo declared.
"What? Chanbarider is weaker!" Yuto told Yugo.
"I know that. Now, Chanbarider would gain 100 Attack if he battles. However, when a Level 5 or higher Monster activates its effect, Clear Wing can negate that effect, and destroy the Monster." Yugo explained.
"What? Clear Wing has a second effect!" Yuto gasped in shock.
"Dichroic Mirror!" Yugo roared as Chanbarider was destroyed.
"Let me guess, Clear Wing will gain the Attack of the destroyed Monster until the end of the turn." Yuto said, more sweat pouring down his face.
"That's right." Yugo responded.
Clear Wing: 2500-4500 Atk
"4500 Attack!" Yuto exclaimed.
"Battle! Go, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, attack Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon! Whirlwind Hell Diving Slasher!" Yugo yelled as both dragons rushed towards towards each other in midair while preparing to punch each other. Both Yuto and Yugo were roaring with their Monsters as the attacks collided. A loud explosion occurred, covering the dragons, and Yuto and Yugo.
Meanwhile-With Shun and the Others
Shun's ears perked up, he heard an explosion from somewhere. He looked around his surroundings while the people around him froze. He turned to his comrades.
"Did you guys hear that?" Shun asked. He swore he heard the roaring of two people.
"The explosion? Yeah." Allen responded. Around here, explosions really meant only one thing...a Duel between Academia and a poor victim who got in their sights.
"Maybe it's Yuto. Maybe he is Dueling with an Academia soldier." Shark guessed.
"If that's the case, then we need to hurry." Shun said while the others nodded. Of it was an Academia soldier, then it was quite an intense Duel.
Yuto might be in danger.
Back at the Duel
"Argh!" Yuto grunted in pain as he was blown backwards by the explosion, he landed on his feet.
Yuto: 3700-2500 Lp
Out of the explosion came Yugo on his d-wheel, Clear Wing roared and flew right next to him. They both stopped at the same time.
"What?!" Yugo widened his eyes under his visor as he saw that Dark Rebellion still remained on Yuto's Field. "But how…"
"I sent Phantom Sword to the Grave, Dark Rebellion's destruction was negated! However, now he will lose the Attack boost.
Dark Rebellion: 3300-2500 Atk
"Damn. I end my turn. I can see how you beat Rin. You're pretty good." Yugo complimented Yuto.
"Two things. One, I don't know who Rin is! Second, I won't lose to a Pawn of Fusion!" Yuto responded harshly, not taking his compliment to heart.
"I told you already my name is not Fusion, it's YU-GO! Stop lying about Rin! I know you took her! I saw the person, he had the same face as me, which in turn means he has the same face as you! Then, my dragon shined, and then I ended up in this place! I rode around the place and asked someone what happened. They didn't answer and told me this place was Heartland. Then they just ran away like they were scared of me! Then, I met you, we Dueled and here we are!" Yugo yelled.
"Hmm…Well, I don't know what to tell you. I haven't been out of Heartland since the invasion started." Yuto responded.
"Invasion?" Yugo asked. Was that the cause of all of this destruction he has seen?
"Yeah, some people from the Fusion Dimension came out of the blue and attacked us. We are barely living because we were caught off guard. Apparently, there are 4 dimensions, since you use Synchro Summoning, I presume you come from either Standard or Synchro." Yuto deduced.
"Well, I just got teleported here by my dragon." Yugo told Yuto, taking out the Card of his ace Monster, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon. He looked up at Yuto, continuing. "And where I come from, I have never seen Xyz Summoning. Not once in my entire life. We only have Synchro and a few people used Ritual Summoning, but that one is like a lost art now."
"Anyways, ever since the war started, we had to keep on high alert, which is why I was a little persistent with the questions. In reality, I don't want to fight. I don't to hurt anyone…I just want things to be back to normal." Yuto told Yugo with a sad expression on his face. Yugo gasped. He had realized that this guy was about his age and he was fighting in a war. Were there other people fighting around his age?
"Wait, what happens to the people who weren't fortunate to make it out?" Yugo asked, partially afraid to find out, and partially interested also.
"This." Yuto responded as he showed Yugo a Card of his father. "This is what happened to those who don't make it.
"What?! He's a Card!" Yugo stated the obvious. Yugo took off his helmet and it was at the moment he noticed Yuto's hand trembling.
"This was my father…they got to him and Carded him right in front of me." Yuto said as he clenched his fist.
"Bastards! No one deserves this!" Yugo yelled as he punched his hand.
"Exactly, we are trying to find a way to reverse the Carding. But even if we do that and end the war, the memory of the pain and suffering will still be a horrible memory to remember. And to make worse, I recently lost one of my closest friends. Her name was Ruri." Yuto said. "She was taken by the enemy. Also, there might be a chance, that since it seems like you are not from Academia, I think they have taken your friend Rin too."
"Rin…" Yugo said. She was the most important thing in the world to Yugo. Now that she was gone, Yugo didn't know what he would do. Because Rin was gone, he was dead set on beating up someone who didn't even have anything to do with his problem. If Rin was here, she would have stopped Yugo from doing something so reckless, but without her, Yugo was like a dangerous loose cannon with no control.
"Since you're not an enemy, there is no need to continue this Duel." Yuto said as he took his Deck out of his Duel Disk, immediately causing Dark Rebellion to disappear.
Yugo gasped. "But are you sure?!"
"If you wish to settle a grudge that never existed, and take your anger out on me, then do it." Yuto spoke calmly as he closed his eyes.
Yugo pondered on what he said before making a decision. "I'm not a person to strike someone defenseless who hasn't even done anything to me." He also deactivated his Duel Disk by sliding out his Deck.
"I still am having a hard time trusting you…but I guess we can work together. I need to get Rin back, you need to save your Homeland and get your friend back. I guess it might work." Yugo proposed. This guy was strong, from what he had seen, he was about even with Yugo in terms of skill.
"I'm sorry for jumping out to a conclusion." Yuto said as he held out a hand.
"Huh?" Yugo gave a confused look. But that look turned into a smile as the Synchro Duelist got off his d-wheel and walked over to take Yuto's hand. However…
"Yuto!" A voice called out the name of the Xyz Duelist. Yuto's blood ran cold, it was Shun. Knowing him, he might not trust Yugo.
"Shun!" Yuto exclaimed as he turned to where he heard Shun's voice. When he saw, he also took note of the Resistance Duelists with him along with Ryoga and Allen.
"Yuto! Who is this?" Shun asked.
"I'm Yugo." Yugo introduced himself as he pointed to his face. Yugo had put his helmet on before, so Shun couldn't see his face and it's resemblance to Yuto's. However, he heard the name, and since in Japanese, Yugo's name sounded exactly like Fusion...
"Fusion! An enemy! Duel me bastard!" Shun snapped as he pulled out his Duel Disk, ready to pick a fight with the Speedroid user.
"I said Yugo not Fusion!" Yugo yelled.
"Shun, he isn't from Fusion. He is from the Synchro Dimension." Yuto told Shun.
"THANK YOU!" Yugo shouted to the sky.
"We still shouldn't trust him. He could be an Academia spy." Shun scowled.
"Shun, lay off." Shark said as he put a hand in front of the Raidraptor Duelist.
"Ryoga! Don't tell me you trust him!" Shun exclaimed out of shock and anger. He had thought Ryoga out of all people would be on his side.
"I don't trust this guy." Yugo's face fell when he head that. "But, if Yuto trusts you, then I will trust him for now."
"Shark…" Yuto whispered at his friend's faith in him.
"Looks like you guys can't trust me. That's fine. I'll just find a way back to Synchro and find Rin on my own." Yugo said with a glum look.
"No, wait Yugo!" Yuto started.
"No, it's for the best…I guess. Well, see you later Yuto. Sorry for thinking you were the bastard who took Rin." Yugo said as he got on his d-wheel and rode away.
"That reminds me, what about Ruri?" Shun asked. Yuto closed his eyes and shook his head in response.
"Damn!" Shun grimaced, fiercely digging his nails into the palm of his hands almost until they bled.
Meanwhile, Yuto looked at the direction in where Yugo had left.
Yugo, I hope I can trust you.
Finished!
Well...I am sorry if you were disappointed by this chapter. By the fact that I changed the ending. But I did say I would change some things since Yuto is the main protagonist.
Anyways, next chapter preview.
Yuto, Shun, Allen, Shark and the other members return to the Resistance camp. They find out that and O'Brien have found a way to implant a Dimensional Transporter into the Duel Disk. However, because of their limited materials, they can only do it on 4 Duel Disks. Yuto and Shun said that only they will go travel dimensions and no one else should. However, O'Brien and Shark protest, saying that they will come also, because of this, Shun challenges O'Brien to a Duel. First, to determine if Shark and O'Brien could come with him and Yuto. Second, to make sure O'Brien isn't an Academia spy.
Big Duels: I was planning on having only Yuto and Shun go, but because of you, I got the idea for the next chapter as seen above. However, I am not having Rio go to Standard, she will stay in the Xyz Dimension in order to help the Resistance. After all, she is one of the strongest Duelists there. Sorry about that! Anyways, thanks for the indirect idea! :)
Sorry for the short chapter guys. The reason I made the last one really long was to make it up to you guys for not updating in a while. Also to help move the story along a bit.
Anyways, please review and leave some suggestions, criticism is fine. It will help me realize a mistake and try to fix it.
See you all in the next chapter. Take care, goodbye!
