"The fun has just begun!" Yuya yelled as he began his move.
"I activate the effect of Entermate Whip Viper! Once per turn, I can switch the attack and defense of one monster you control until the end of the turn!" Yuya exclaimed.
"What!" Shark gasped as he looked at his monster who fell to the ground.
Black Ray Lancer: 600 Atk, 2100 Def
"Battle! Go, Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, attack Black Ray Lancer! Spiral Strike Burst!" Yuya yelled as Odd Eyes let out a torrent of fire towards Shark's monster.
"Wait, they are in the sea, shouldn't the fire get put out?" Futoshi asked.
"Roll with it." Tatsuya told him.
"Not so fast, Trap card, Zeus' Breath! When you declare an attack, I can negate, then, if I control a Water-type monster, I can deal 800 points of damage to you!" Shark yelled. Black Ray Lancer swam away from the torrent of fire, and a very small crater where Lancer once was had formed. Yuya shivered as a cold wave of water covered him, Yuya shook his head to get the water out of his hair, however, his clothes were still soaked.
Yuya: 2400-1600 Lp
"Yuya-oniichan isn't in a good position." Ayu pointed out.
"You weren't kidding when you said the could do real damage." O'Brien said, shocked at the crater. What if someone were to get hit by an actual attack?
"I can still use Whip Viper. Go!" Yuya declared.
I can banish Friller Shark to stop the attack and make his monster weaker… but I should use that on a stronger monster. Shark thought to himself. Whip Viper wrapped around Black Ray Lancer. Shark had ran to get an Action Card but Odd Eyes smashed it's tail on the ground, making the Action Card fly into the air, making Shark miss. With tremendous strength, Whip Viper threw Back Ray Lancer to the ground, destroying it. Shark flinched as he took damage.
Shark: 4000-2900 Lp
"I end my turn." Yuya concluded. "Alright, show me more of your strength. I'm getting excited!"
Excited... That's a feeling I haven't had in a long time. I miss those days. Shark thought to himself as he smirked to himself. However, he got a serious expression on his face.
"My turn, draw! I activate the effect of Shark Reviver from my hand! By sending it to the grave, I can revive one Water-type monster in my grave. Come forth, Black Ray Lancer!" Shark exclaimed as his monster reappeared.
"You revived the monster? But what good does it do, it has no overlay units." Yuya told Shark.
"An Xyz monster doesn't need overlay units to be useful! I activate the Equip Spell Sharkize! With this, the equipped monster gains 400 attack points and is treated as a 'Shark' monster. So, my Black Ray Lancer turns into Black Shark Lancer." Shark added.
Black Shark Lancer: 2100-2500 Atk
"Black Shark Lancer? That's very creative." Yuya comments with a smile.
"Watch out Yuya! I'm going all out! Now, when you control 2 or more monsters, I can normal summon Panther Shark!" Shark yelled a yellow and black Shark appeared.
Panther Shark: Level 5, 1100 Atk, 2000 Def
"When I control Panther Shark, I can special summon Eagle Shark!" Shark explained as another one of Shark's sharks appeared.
Eagle Shark: Level 5, 1000 Atk, 1800 Def
"Two level 5 monsters." O'Brien pointed out.
"This boy is very skilled at Xyz Summoning." Shuzo complemented Shark.
"I, using the level 5 Panther Shark and Eagle Shark, overlay!" Shark declared as his monsters flew into the Xyz portal. "Xyz Summon! Show yourself, Rank 5, Shark Fortress!"
Shark Fortress: Rank 5, 2400 Atk, 1800 Def
"From the grave! I activate the effect of Shark Reviver, by banishing this card, if the monster revived by this effect has a different amount of attack points than it's original, than I can decrease that amount on a monster you control. Since the difference in attack of Black Shark Lancer is 400 attack, I can decrease the attack of your Odd Eyes by 400!" Shark explained. Odd Eyes shriveled a bit by the loss in attack.
Odd Eyes: 2500-2100 Atk
"Odd Eyes! Damn!" Yuya cursed as he looked around him.
"Battle! Go, Black Shark Lancer, attack Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Shark declared as Shark Lancer launched himself towards Odd Eyes.
"Whip Viper!" Yuya called to his monster. Whip Viper nodded and spread its body around Yuya's arm. Yuya noticed an Action Card on the top of the building. Whip Viper spread out its body so far, it could reach the top. Whip Viper opened his mouth and grabbed onto the building. Yuya jumped and was flung towards the building like a grappling hook. Yuya grabbed the Action Card and activated it. "Action Magic, Miracle! Odd Eyes' destruction is negated and battle damage is halved!"
"Shark Fortress!" Shark yelled as he jumped onto said monster, which swam him to a nearby Action Card, Shark grabbed the Action Card. "Action Magic, Over Sword! Black Shark will gain 500 attack points. Also, its attack cannot be negated."
Black Shark Lancer: 2500-3000 Atk
Black Shark Lancer whacked Odd Eyes with it's Spear, however, roared and jumped away. Yuya gritted his teeth as he took damage.
Yuya: 1600-1150 Lp
"It's still over! Shark Fortress, destroy Odd Eyes!" Shark yelled. Shark Fortress shot Odd Eyes, destroying it.
"Kgh!" Yuya grunted.
Yuya: 1150-850 Lp
"Yuya is in the clear!" Yuzu exclaimed with joy.
"No. I think that monster has more to it." O'Brien told her.
"What?" Yuzu asked.
"Just watch and see." O'Brien told her.
"I use the effect of Shark Fortress, once per turn, by detaching an overlay unit, I can have another Shark monster battle! I'll have Black Shark attack again! Destroy Whip Viper and end this!" Shark declared as Shark Lancer jumped towards Whip Viper.
"Not so fast! I activate the Action Magic, Evasion! I negate the attack!" Yuya yelled as Whip Viper dodged the attack and jumped to Yuya.
"Hmph. I end my turn. Now, how can you turn this around, Yuya?" Shark asked.
"I don't know. It'll depend on this next draw. My turn…" Yuya paused and closed his eyes.
Come on deck, don't fail me. Yuya thought to himself.
"Draw!" Yuya yelled as he peeked at his card, "Alright!"
"Did you get what you needed?" Shark asked with interest.
"Using the already set pendulum scale, I Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters! First is Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, now here is the newcomer, Entermate Curtain Switcher!" Yuya yelled as his monsters appeared.
Curtain Switcher: Level 2, 0 Atk, 0 Def
"A zero attack monster? What are you going to do with that?" Shark asked.
"Come back from this situation! Ladies and Gentlemen! As you can see, I am not in a good position. However, watch as I, Yuya Sakaki, give it my all to pull out a miracle! Curtain Switcher's effect activates, once per turn, I can switch a characteristic of another monster with another monster on the field or in my graveyard, including this one. For example, I can switch the attack of two monsters on the field. But I am not going to be doing that. I am going to be switching the rank and level!" Yuya declared.
"What? How are you going to do that?" Shark asked.
"This just got interesting." O'Brien.
"Win, Yuya!" Yuzu yelled.
"Now watch, I replace Odd Eyes' level 7 with a rank 5, and I replace Shark Fortress' rank 5 with level 7!" Yuya declared.
Odd Eyes: Level 7-Rank 5
Shark Fortress: Rank 5-Level7
"So?" Shark asked.
"Who said I am finished? I use Entermate Whip Viper's effect, I can switch the attack and defense of one of your monsters, I switch your Shark Fortress!" Yuya declared.
"Crap!" Shark exclaimed.
Shark Fortress: 1800 Atk, 2400 Def
"I'm not done! Quick-play, activate, Big Return! Now, I can make Entermate Whip Viper use its effect again!" Yuya explained as he opened his face down.
"That's the card you set on your first turn! Wait, no! You're now going to switch the attack of my Black Shark Lancer!" Shark realized.
Shark Lancer: 600 Atk, 2500 Def
"Nice! Now, battle! Go, Whip Viper, destroy Shark Lancer!" Yuya declared with a smile. Shark grabbed an Action Card, however, just as he was about to activate it, Yuya jumped towards an Action Card near him and activated it.
"Action Magic, Crush Action! I destroy the Action Card you added to your hand! Also, any Action Card you add to your hand is immediately destroyed." Yuya explained.
"What!" Shark yelled.
"Yuya-oneechan sealed his usage of Action Cards!" Tatsuya exclaimed. Whip Viper head butted Shark Lancer, destroying it.
Shark grunted in pain as he took a step back.
Shark: 2900-1800 Lp
"Now, Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, attack his Shark Fortress, also, whenever a monster I control that has been affected by Curtain Switcher attacks, you can't activate any monster effects!
"What!" Shark yelled in surprise. With this, Shark couldn't negate the attack with Friller Shark.
"SPIRAL STRIKE BURST!" Yuya yelled as Odd Eyes jumped into the air and launched a torrent of flames at Shark Fortress, the latter took the hit and held on. However… "When Odd Eyes battles a level 5 or higher monster, the battle damage is doubled! REACTION FORCE!" Shark a Fortress was then destroyed by the flames, launching Shark off of his feet as he crashed into a nearby wall.
"AHHHHH!" Shark yelled in pain. He slowly managed to get back up in his feet. "I'm not giving up that easily."
Shark: 1800-400 Lp
"Well, everyone! I hope you have enjoyed the show! It's time to see what Shark-Kun can do to turn this duel around! I end my turn." Yuya concluded.
"Call me Shark-Kun one more time and I'll personally cancel your show." Shark warned Yuya as he gave a killing intent in his eyes.
"Ok! Ok! Geez, what a buzzkill." Yuya pouted in annoyance.
"However… despite you calling me Shark-kun, I have to admit. This is a fun duel, Yuya. It has been a while since I had a fun duel. Thank you." Shark told Yuya with a smile on his deface as he closed his eyes, thinking to the better times of Heartland. Then, without anyone except Shark noticing, Shark let out one, very small, teardrop, which slowly descended down his cheek, before falling off and getting washed away by the water.
"Shark…" Yuya said.
"Alright! It's my turn now! My turn, draw!" Shark yelled. However, as he was about to, a sound on his duel disk came, followed by a robotic voice saying "Duel Terminated." The Solid Vision field disappeared and Yuya's monsters also disappeared. Now, Shark and Yuya were back in the regular dueling room. Both were surprised to say the least.
"Huh? Hey! Why did you do that?" Yuya asked.
"Guys! Come outside quick, I hear Gongenzaka arguing with someone!" Yuzu exclaimed through a microphone.
"Gongenzaka?! I'm coming! Let's go, Shark!" Yuya told Shark as they both ran.
"Who is Gongenzaka?" Shark asked.
"My best friend." Yuya responded, as they ran outside. They were met with 3 people and a big guy who with a bandana.
"Gongenzaka, what's wrong?" Yuya asked the big guy with concern.
"Well, I, the man Gongenzaka, was in the middle of a run for my leg training, then, I noticed 3 suspicious male figures peeking into the duel school. When I went to go question them, they told me that Yuya ambushed someone last night, unforgivable!" Gongenzaka explained the current situation as the 3 guys just stood there and grinned.
"Ambushed?!" Yuya exclaimed as he and Shuzo gained a shocked expression on their face while the kids were confused while Sora, O'Brien, and Shark were looking on with interest.
"Shark, maybe it was Yuto." O'Brien whispered very softly so only Shark could hear.
"Yeah." Shark responded softly. But why were the blaming Yuya? They don't look the same although they share the same face.
"Yuya ambushed?" Shuzo asked.
"That's right! Don't say that you forgot Yuya!" Henchman 3 exclaimed.
"We were there and saw you with our eyes!" Henchman 1 added, joining the conversation with a grin.
"There were five witnesses present." Henchman 2 finished.
"Five?" Gongenzaka asked.
"Sawatari, us, and that girl too!" Henchman 2 exclaimed as he pointed at Yuzu as all three henchmen wore grins on their faces.
Yuzu gasped as everyone looked at her immediately.
"Isn't that right? Hiragi Yuzu-chan!" All 3 henchmen yelled in unison, making weird faces.
"Is it true Yuzu? You saw it too?" Gongenzaka asked as he took a step towards Yuzu.
"Saw? What?" Shuzo asked as Yuzu looked at him.
"The face of the culprit!" Henchman 2 exclaimed as Shuzo and Yuzu looked back at them
"The son of the soon to be Mayor, Sawatari-san's assaulter, the face of Yuya Sakaki!" Henchman 1 declared as all of the henchmen pointed their fingers at Yuya.
Yuya gasped in shock and confusion.
"Stop lying! Yuya-oniichan would never do something like that!" Tatsuya yelled, defending his dear friend.
"Right! The one who struck first was Sawatari! So, to stop him Yuzu-oniichan went to stop him!" Ayu revealed.
"Wa-wait! The one who dueled him was Yuzu!?" Shuzo asked.
"Yeah!" Ayu replied.
"It wasn't Yuya!" Shark told the group, as they gasped and looked at him.
"What proof do you have?" Henchman 3 asked.
"I just dueled Yuya for the first time before you yahoos came. I could tell by his dueling, that he would never use his dueling to hurt people. I could tell! So don't try getting all smart with me!" Shark yelled as he protected Yuya.
"Shark!" Yuya said with a confused look, which soon turned into a smile. "Thanks!" Shark nodded with a smile in response.
"No, it was him! We saw his face! Poor Sawatari-san, he was injured so severely that he had to be hospitalized." Henchman 1 said as he closed his eyes.
"Hospitalized!?" Yuya exclaimed in shock.
"No way!" Yuzu gasped.
"Even his life could be at risk!" Henchman 2 continued.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Sawatari was eating a watermelon (I don't remember what it was just roll with it.)
"Yummy!" Sawatari said in joy.
"If something happens to him… how are you going to take responsibility?" Henchman 3 asked.
"But I-" Yuya started as he ran towards Yuzu.
"Hey! Say something Yuzu! You saw everything right?" Yuya asked.
"I did see but…" Yuzu trailed off as she looked away from Yuya.
"Don't tell me you doubt me too Yuzu?!" Yuya asked his friend.
"That's!" Yuzu started as she looked at Yuya. However, she remembered Yuto's face looking very similar to Yuya. Yuzu gasped and looked away. Part of her wanted to believe that Yuya didn't do it and that it was someone else dressed as him. But another part said that it was Yuya.
"Tell me what happened from the beginning!" Shuzo commanded.
"Let me tell you." A voice said, the group looked at their left and saw a woman with red hair in red clothes and long earrings stepping out of a limo.
"You're LDS…!" Shuzo exclaimed in shock.
"Yes. I am the current chairwoman. I am Akaba Himekaa." The woman now known as Himeka introduced herself.
Later
Nakajima was standing outside the duel school with the three henchmen. He handed them three envelopes, one for each person.
"Good work. Here is your payment." Nakajima said as the students grinned as they saw cards inside the envelopes.
In the school
"Everything they said is the truth. The fact that our LDS student Sawatari Shingo was attacked, as well as the fact that he said the culprit is Yuya Sakaki, who is currently enrolled as a student at this duel school." Himeka explained. Shuzo took these words in and closed his eyes. He then looked at Yuya.
"Well Yuya? Did you really?-" Shuzo started.
"I didn't! I would never do something like that!" Yuya yelled.
"I, the man Gongenzaka, also believes in his friend Yuya! It is the same for you all right?" Gongenzaka asked.
"Of course!" Futoshi exclaimed while Ayu and Tatsuya simply nodded.
Gongenzaka nodded at them before looking at Yuzu. "What about you, Yuzu?" Gongenzaka asked.
"Yuya! That really wasn't you, right?" Yuzu asked.
Yuya paused and an awkward silence was formed between the two. Yuya looked at Yuzu and broke the silence.
"I don't know what you saw Yuzu, but I didn't attack Sawatari!" Yuya told Yuzu with determination. Yuzu blinked and gasped, before finally smiling.
"Got it! I'll also believe in you then, Yuya." Yuzu told him.
"We also will! We may be new here but… we still believe in Yuya!" O'Brien joined in. Shark nodded in agreement. Shuzo grinned.
"Oh, those are some strong bonds that you have there. Although it seems that it's impossible for me to ask you to hand Yuya over, we cannot back down now at this point." Himeka said, surprising Shuzo. "If a rumor spread that a student from LDS, the number one Duel School in the entire world, lost in a duel, it would bring great damage to our reputation.
"But Yuya didn't-" Shuzo started but was interrupted by Himeka.
"That is no longer relevant!" Himeka yelled. Shuzo gasped as Himeka stood up, it could be seen that a bright fire was burning around her. "The problem here is the symbol of LDS has now been dragged through the mud! The only way to clear this disgrace is a duel between Duel Schools!"
"A duel?!" Shuzo said as he, Yuya, and Yuzu gasped while Sora smirked. O'Brien and Shark kept neutral looks on their faces while the kids looked concerned.
Card Catalog: (Man, I haven't done one of these since Chapter 12)
Shark Reviver Fish Water: You can discard this card, then, revive one Water monster in your grave. On your turn, you can banish this card if the revived monster is still on the field, if the current attack points of the monster is different than its original attack points, then you can choose one monster your opponent controls, that monster loses attack points equal to the difference.
Curtain Switcher Light, Spellcaster, Pendulum, Scale, 2: Pendulum Effect: Once per turn, you can shuffle a monster on your field, hand, grave, or extra deck into your deck, then, depending on where it came from, you can put a monster with attack equal to or less to the returned monsters attack points. Example: If I had Odd Eyes in my grave, I could shuffle him into the deck, then, I could send a monster to the grave whose attack points are equal to or less than Odd Eyes' attack points. Monster Effect: Once during either player's turn, you can target one monster on the field, then, another monster on the field or in your graveyard, then, you declare a trait those cards have, (Ex: Rank, Level, Atk. Def, Type, Tuner, Non-Tuner!, etc.) switch them until the end of the turn. If a monster you control that has been affected by this monster battles, your opponent can't activate monster effects until the end of the battle.
Finished. Alright. I guess you guys know what happens next. However, I am going to make something different. So, you guys can either put it in a review or PM me, but you guys get to choose what the duel will be. The choices will all be against Hokuto, for the next chapter. Since Shark and O'Brien are here. Choice 1, it will still be Yuya and Hokuto but the duel will be slightly different. Choice 2, Shark vs Hokuto. Choice 3, O'Brien vs Hokuto. If I don't see any possible winner, I'll just pick one myself.
Jesrer5: Most likely yes.
Big duels: You believed right! :) Hokuto will not become a Lancer… Lol. I haven't considered adding Masumi and Yaiba (That's his name right?) to the Lancers. I might think about it though.
Anyways, that's all for now. Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. Please remember to review and leave a suggestion.
See you guys in the next chapter. Take care, goodbye!
