"Beep!" A sound came from the boy's Duel Disk, causing him to look down in confusion. "Instruction Penalty, 2000 LP
"OH NOOOOOOOO!" The boy screamed in a comedic manner as his own Duel Disk electrocuted him. He fell down the hill facedown. Yuto sweatropped at the sight.
"The man who has just appeared is LDS' exchange student from Broadway, Dennis Mackfield! But he has just taken a 2000 LP penalty for intrusion." Nico Smiley explained.
"What is that about?" Futoshi asked with a straight face.
"That didn't happen with Yuzu-oneechan." Tatsuya noted.
"Ahem! Ahem!" Nico cleared his throat, getting the attention of the audience. "Now then, I shall explain. First off, in Hiragi's case, she was already taking part in a Duel against Halil. However, in this case, Dennis was not Dueling with anyone before joining, so he was then penalized."
"Ohh...ouch...sheesh...this is one of those late starts, isn't it?" Dennis gave a clumsy look. Dennis fixed his collar. "Well, I better collect myself!"
"Wait, what happened to the effect damage?" Yuto asked.
"Oh that! You see, when I joined this Duel, I sent Entermage Damage Juggler to the Grave and activated its effect. When a Monster would deal effect damage, its effect is permanently negated. So from now on, Fujin's end-of-turn effect can't activate!" Dennis explained. Takeda grit his teeth in annoyance. He was so close to defeating Yuya, and then this clown comes along and saves him!
"Quit interfering!" Umesugi shouted at Dennis.
"How rude! And I had so much more fun planned too!" Dennis exclaimed. "Anyways! Let's finish this magnificently! My turn, draw!" Dennis floated in the air in joy as he drew his Card/
"Sakaki Yuya! Our next turn will be your last, prepare yourself!" Takeda called out to Yuto.
"Sakaki Yuya's life is 1000." Takeda said.
"Yeah, so we need 5 Flame Balls!" Both Takeda and Umesugi jumped over Yuto and Dennis, looking for Action Cards.
"Damn!" Yuto cursed as he began to run after them. Dennis also started to run with Yuto.
"Hey, you're Sakaki Yuya, right? I'm Dennis Mackfield! I'm an LDS exchange student from Broadway!" Dennis raised his arms in joy.
"I'm not Yuy-I mean-nice to meet you." Yuto quickly corrected himself as he almost broke out of character.
"Your first round match was wonderful! I got so excited watching that!" Dennis started to have tears rolling down his face.
What's with this guy? And why does he look so familiar? Yuto asked himself.
"All right! Action Magic, Flame Ball! Take 200 points of damage, Sakaki Yuya!" Takeda activated an Action Card he collected.
"Entermage Flame Eater! When an effect would deal damage, I can negate that effect and Special Summon this Card!" Dennis explained as his Monster appeared and ate the fireball coming towards Yuto.
"What?!" Takeda widened his eyes.
Flame Eater: Level 4, 1200 Atk, 1600 Def
Umesugi's Monster carried him over to an Action Card on a lampost. "All right, this time!"
"Oh, also, your second round match! I didn't quite approve of that one." Before Dennis could continue, Umesugi activated his Action Card.
"Action Magic, Flame Ball, activate!" Another fireball came towards Yuto.
"Good thing I have another one of these guys! Entermage Flame Eater!" The new Flame Eater appeared and consumed the fireball.
"Geez! You're really annoying! Quit bothering me when I'm trying to talk to Yuya! But now that I say that...huh?" Dennis decided to play dumb as he took a good look at his Field. "Looks like there are two Monsters with the same level." Yuto gasped in shock, knowing what Dennis was going to do. "Which means I can do that! With my two level 4 Entermage Flame Eaters, I construct the Overlay Network! Show must go on! Artisan of the air, swing across the stage with grace! Xyz Summon! Appear now! Rank 4! Entermage Trapeze Magician!"
Trapeze Magician: Rank 4, 2500 Atk, 2000 Def
"All right!" Dennis jumped into the air. "Yee-haw!" Dennis grabbed onto Trapeze Magician's hand as they flew into the air. Dennis laughed as little trails of lights were left behind the Magician.
Yuto widened his eyes. A memory played in his mind. And it wasn't his memory. It showed a man doing the same thing Dennis was doing but with a different magician. Also, the man was much older compared to Dennis.
Dennis jumped off his Monster and landed next to Yuto. "Now, feast your eyes!" A purple wave collided with the lava on the Field, making a beautiful scenery.
"What a gorgeous Summon!" Nico exclaimed.
Shuzo raised up his hands in excitement. "That kid's as flashy as Yusho!"
Yoko smiled at the scene. Memories of Yusho were coming back to her. Good memories. Oh Yusho…
"As long as Trapeze Magician is face-up, all effect damage lower than or equal to its Attack is negated. It means you guys won't be able to rely on that Action Magic, Flame Ball! Now then, I've done all I need to. I end my turn." Dennis simply concluded. Dennis turned to Yuto. "You're more suited for the finale!"
"Dennis...alright! My turn, draw! I Summon Entermate Whip Viper!"
Whip Viper: Level 4, 1700 Atk, 900 Def
Yuto gasped as an image of Dark Rebellion flashed into his head. His eyes glowed. Yuto's eyes sparked blue as he clutched his chest in pain. Yuto grunted as he tried to resist the pain.
"Yuya...Yuya. Yuya! Yuya!" Dennis called out to Yuto, who turned to face him. "It's fine. Just relax!" Yuto's eyes returned to normal. "You're afraid it'll turn out like when you fought Kachidoki, right? But it'll be fine. Trapeze and I are here for you." Yuto looked at the Monster, and back at Dennis before smiling.
"Thanks, Dennis! All right!"
Come on old friend! Don't let me down now!
"I construct the Overlay Network using the level 4 Whip Viper and Drumming Kong! 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
"So you've finally stepped into the darkness!" Takeda exclaimed.
"The fact that you Summoned that dragon from pitch-black darkness is proof!" Umesugi stated.
"No! You're wrong! I'm not walking that path again! And I'll prove it now!" Yuto yelled.
"It's showtime! Everybody enjoy! Let's have fun together!" Dennis jumped and got caught by Trapeze Magician's hands. "I'll start us off! I activate Trapeze Magician's effect! By using one overlay unit, I can target a Monster and let it attack twice this turn! I target Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Dark Rebellion roared at its opponents.
"Now, it's my turn! I activate Dark Rebellion's effect! By using an overlay unit, I can halve the Attack of a level 5 or higher Monster until the end of the turn. Then, Dark Rebellion gains the lost amount! I target Fujin!" Dark Rebellion let out its wings and electrocuted Fujin, weakening it. "Treason Discharge!"
Fujin: 3000-1500 Atk
Dark Rebellion: 2500-4000 Atk
"I use Dark Rebellion's effect again! I target Raijin! Treason Discharge!" Raijin was also weakened.
Raijin: 3000-1500 Atk
Dark Rebellion: 4000-5500 Atk
"Battle! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, attack Fujin!" Dark Rebellion flew towards Fujin and headbutt him, destroying the Monster. Takeda yelled in pain as his life dropped to 0. "One more attack! Dark Rebellion!" Dark Rebellion circled around and stabbed Raijin, destroying him. Umesugi was sent into the air as his life dropped to 0.
"Yuya! You did it!" Dennis told Yuto.
"Yeah...thanks to you. But, one question, have we ever met before? I swear I know you from somewhere." A cold sea of silence filled the two. Dennis got a look of fear on his face for a second, did he know where he came from? However, he quickly regained his composure.
"I don't know! I have never seen you before! Anyways, I have wanted to tag Duel with you for a while! With Sakaki Yusho's Junior!" Dennis revealed.
"You know Sak-I mean, my father?!" Yuto asked.
"Of course! He's a Duelist I admire! Now then, I'll be off! Let's make sure to make it through this!" Dennis held out a hand.
Yuto looked at the hand. He still was a little curious about this guy. However, something inside told him to accept the hand. Plus, he needed to stay in character.
"Yeah, it's a promise!" Yuto accepted the hand.
Later-At the Ancient Ruins
Yuto walked into a building in the ancient ruins. He looked around to see 8t he could find someone. He did find someone, but the last person he would expect was…
"Shun!" Yuto exclaimed as he saw said person standing on his left with his arms crossed. "I've been wanting to find you!"
"The same goes for me." Shun said.
"What did you do with Yuto?" Shun asked.
"Yuto…" Ayu whispered the name.
"Who is that?" Futoshi asked.
"I also know that Yuto fought with Shiunin Sora. And I know that you were there! Then after that, Yuto disappeared. What happened there? What did you do to Yuto?" Shun demanded for an answer.
"Shun...I-"
"Don't refer to me so casually! I know something happened! There's no mistaking it!" Shun formed his hand into a fist. "After all, your eyes are a different color! I remember that you had crimson eyes! Why is it that you have gray eyes! The same color eyes that Yuto has?! And if that wasn't enough, then why do you have Yuto's Card?! Why do you have Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon? As far as I'm concerned, Dark Rebellion is a one of a kind Card that only Yuto had! I've never seen a second copy of it in my life!"
"Gray eyes? That's right!" Shuzo realized in a whisper. "Also, Yuya has been acting weird lately. Could that weird thing that happened in Round Two against Kachidoki have anything to do with this Yuto person? Also, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon...I've never heard of that Card ever until Yuya Summoned it. Something isn't right here. Also, there was something off about Yuya's voice. I thought it was just something wrong with his throat, but maybe it is something more…"
"This Card can Attack directly with its Monster effect!" Yuto looked to his left to where he entered and saw someone with a Monster. "I Attack directly with Assault Knight Slash!" Said Monster let out a purple wave, coming right for Shun and Yuto. Both gasped as they crouched down in order to avoid the attack.
"Assault Knight Slash can negate battle damage!" Another person countered as the Monster on their Field, which was the same as the Monster on the other person's Field, formed a blue shield, protecting its owner.
"Knight of Duels!" Yuto and Shun got back up on their feet.
"These idiots never learn…" Shun muttered.
"I end my turn. For some reason, I hear some pebbles babbling…" The first Knight said.
"Then we should just kick those interfering pebbles aside!" The second knight responded. "My turn! I Attack directly with Assault Knight Slash!" The Monster let out a purple wave at a third Knight. Yuto and Shun both ducked for cover.
"Assault Knight Slash can negate battle damage!" The knight exclaimed.
"They're acting like they're Dueling just to harass me!" Shun spoke as he stood up.
"I end my turn." The second Knight ended. "We can keep this up until those pebbles are ground to bits.
"If it's bothering you so much, then join the Duel and take the instruction penalty. My turn! Assault Knight Slash Attack directly!" The third knight declared as aapnother purple beam came towards Yuto and Shun. This time, it actually hit them.
"AAAAAUGH!" Shun yelled in pain as he was blown into a column.
"AAAAAAAAAH!" Yuto was blown back into a broken down platform. He almost fell off, but he managed to grab the ledge at the last second.
"Those guys! And they call themselves Duelists!" Tatsuya murmured in anger. How could they do something like that? Yuya could have gotten hurt!
"We're only just Dueling…" the first Knight started.
"We aren't doing anything against the rules." The third Knight finished.
Yuto put another hand on the ledge and lifted his head over it. "Shun…"
At that moment. 3 men in uniforms came running towards the place where the knights were. Yuto heard the footsteps and looked to where he heard it. He was shocked to see who it was…
"No...no...it can't be!" Yuto bellowed as he saw the familiar dressed men come closer to the Knights. The blue clothing, the masks, the Duel Disks. It was all so familiar. "Not them…" Memories of the attack on Heartland flooded Yuto's mind.
"The Obelisk Force is here…"
We're finished! Another repeat chapter. Sorry for that guys.
Sorry for the chapter being so short by the way. I just wanted this done and out.
Here is the chapter preview.
The Obelisk Force has arrived, and with Sora sided with them. Sora and Shun immediately go to a different place to initiate a Duel, while the Obelisk Force defeats the Knight of Duels and Cards them. Struck by grief that he couldn't help the Knight of Duels, Yuto and Yuya, who's rage starts to erupt inside Yuto, breaks character and switches Decks and challenges the Obelisk Force to a Duel. However, something isn't right…
If you guys remember from the anime, a very iconic Monster is Summoned. (One of my favorite Summons in the anime actually.)
Matrixnis: Yeah, I feel the same way, the doktor could have been explored more. And while I hated him to guts because of the crap he did, he still shouldn't have been thrown in the dust.
Bridgey: Sun Shadow and Moon Shadow...I know who you mean. Hikage and Tsukikage. I can't believe I spelled the latter's name right! I don't know about Hikage, but Moon Shadow/Tsukikage might.
Rgriffin8999: I might to do something like that.
Anyways, that's all for now guys!
Take care, goodbye!
