"Come forth, level 9, Ancient Gear Ultimate Hound Dog!" Yellow Obelisk Force Fusion Summoned his mechanical hound made from gears.
Ultimate Hound Dog: Level 9, 2800 Atk, 2000 Def
"When this Card is Fusion Summoned, it halves the LP of all my opponents!" Yellow Obelisk Force exclaimed as Ultimate Hound let out multiple blasts at Sawatari, Serena, Shun, and Tsukikage.
"The heck is that?!" Sawatari widened his eyes and gaped as his team's life points halved.
Tsukikage: 500-250 LP
Serena: 2400-1200 LP
Sawatari: 2000-1000 LP
Shun: 4000-2000 LP
"Damn it!" Sawatari cursed.
"It's my tu-"
"No, it's not!" A voice interrupted Shun as 3 more members of the Obelisk Force appeared and joined the Duel, receiving the Intrusion Penalty, immediately dropping their life to 2000.
"More of them!" Serena clicked her tongue in annoyance. That was just what they needed right now.
"My turn, draw!" Blue Obelisk Force drew his Card and glanced at it, before placing it in his Hand.
"That was the time to interfere." O'Brien said as he, Shark, and Gongenzaka hid down the stairs watching the Duel, trying to find a good time to intrude.
"No, we need to catch them by surprise." Gongenzaka rebutted O'Brien's opinion. "Plus, if we join now, we'll be sitting ducks to anything they throw at us.
"Only intrude when things are starting to look bad for the others." Shark glanced at Shun, who was clutching his chest in pain. "What the hell happened to you, Shun?"
"I activate Fusion and fuse the three Ancient Gear Hound Dog's in my Hand! Mechanical hounds who carry on the ancient spirits, flock together and become one with new power! Fusion Summon! Appear now! Level 7! Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog!" Blue Obelisk Force chanted as he Fusion Summoned his Monster with three heads.
Triple Bite: Level 7, 1800 Atk, 1000 Def
"Battle!"
"I use the effect of Barrier Ninjitsu-Technique of Gathering Shadows, I pay half my life and end the Battle Phase." Tsukikage grit his teeth under his mask as he took damage from his Card's effect.
Tsukikage: 250-125 LP
"That guy is very noble. He's willing to risk his life to protect his teammates. I, the man, Gongenzaka, respect that." Gongenzaka stated.
"Kgh, I end my turn."
"Now it's my turn! Draw! I also activate Fusion, I also Fusion Summon Triple Bite Dog using three Ancient Gear Hound Dog's!" White Obelisk Force mimicked his teammates move. "Battle!"
"Once again, I use Technique of Gathering Shadows! Grr…" Tsukikage flinched as he once again took damage.
Tsukikage: 125-62.5 LP (Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you probably the only time you are going to see life points go into the decimal zone…until VRAINS...which has the meter fricking round up, I'm not doing that crap in this fanfic.)
"Damn! I end my turn."
"This will be the end of you, ninja! My turn, draw! I activate Fusion and also Fusion Summon Triple Bite Hound Dog! Unlike the other two, I have a different plan for you. I activate the Magic Card Fusion Bullet! I target a level 7 or lower Fusion Monster I control, I deal halve of its current Attack to you as damage! Take 900 points of damage and die!" Purple Obelisk Force shouted as a bullet was shot towards Tsukikage, who stood there, accepting his fate.
"I don't think so!" A voice shouted, shocking the Duelists as they look to see Shark with his Duel Disk activated skidding to a halt as he took a Card out of his Hand and showed my Hand, I activate the Monster effect of Wall of Sharks! When a player would take damage, I can negate the damage and Special Summon this Card from my Hand. Come forth, Wall of Sharks!" The blast coming towards Tsukikage disappeared as a literal wall of sharks appeared. The Monster was Summoned in Defense, and O'Brien and Gongenzaka was seen walking in between Shun and Sawatari with their Duel Disks activated.
Wall of Sharks: Level 3, 200 Atk, 1400 Def
Because they intruded on the Duel, Shark, O'Brien, and Gongenzaka were all electrocuted by their Duel Disks via the Intrusion Penalty.
Shark: 4000-2000 LP
O'Brien: 4000-2000 LP
Gongenzaka: 4000-2000 LP
"Shark, O'Brien?!" Shun spoke, saying the name of two of the people that intruded.
"Gongenzaka?! What are you doing here?" Sawatari questioned Gongenzaka. This wasn't exactly a safe place, he could get hurt, or Carded, just like those two other guys.
"I'm here to help out. What does it look like? We need to finish this fast! As we speak, Yuya-no, Yuto is Dueling Sora." Gongenzaka told the others.
"Yuto?!" Shun repeated the name of his comrade and friend. He hasn't saw Yuto ever since that one night where Yuto Dueled Sora.
"Battle!"
"Once again, Technique of Gathering Shadows!" Tsukikage yelled out in pain as he took even more damage from his Trap.
Tsukikage: 62.5-31.25 LP
"Damn, I end my turn." Purple Obelisk Force concluded.
"If you don't mind, I'll go first, Shark." O'Brien spoke.
"Go ahead." Shark gave O'Brien permission to go first.
"My turn, draw!"
With Yuto and Sora
Yuto and Sora faced each other straight into the eyes, not looking away for a second. As they did that, Yuya appeared net to Yuto.
"Careful Yuto, Sora is a dangerous opponent, and now he isn't going to pull any punches. Who knows what he could pull." Yuya warned Yuto, who nodded in response.
"Yeah, I know." Yuto assured Yuya. After all, he's Dueled Sora twice already, and the second time he was being serious, so Yuto already knew what to expect here.
"Just remember, that if something goes wrong, I'm here." Yuya assured Yuto with a half-hearted smile.
"Thanks, Yuya. Oh yeah, if you don't mind, I shuffled our Decks together." Yuto revealed to Yuya.
"Don't worry about it. You can use my power anyway you want."
"Alright. Let's do this, Shiunin Sora!" Yuto called out to his opponent.
"I'll allow you to have the first move." Sora replied simply.
"Very well. My turn! I Summon Phantom Knights Rusty Helmet!" Yuto placed a Card onto his Duel Disk as a ghost with a dirty helmet appeared onto the Field.
Rusty Helmet: Level 3, 400 Atk, 800 Def
"I activate Rusty Helmet's effect! Once per turn, I can discard a Card in my Hand and then, I can Special Summon a Phantom Knights Monster from my Hand, Deck, or Grave. I discard Entermate Springoose in order to Special Summon Phantom Knights Recruiter from my Deck in Defense!" Yuto explained as another Monster appeared on his Field.
Recruiter: Level 4, 1400 Atk, 1500 Def
He sent an Entermate Monster to his Grave...but only Yuya has those Cards… Sora thought to himself.
"I activate Recruiter's effect, once per turn, I can target a Monster, then, I declare a level, that Monster's level becomes the declared level. I target Phantom Knights Rusty Helmet and change his level to 4!" Yuto pointed to his chosen Monster as it gained a level.
Rusty Helmet: Level 3-4
"Now he has…" Yuya trailed off as he already knew what Yuto was doing.
"Two level 4 Monsters…" Sora unknowingly finished Yuya's sentence. "It's here." The Monster he hated, the same Monster Yuto could have used to finish him off, just by detaching one more overlay unit from the Monster. But Yuto spared him, even though they were enemies, and the look of the dragon still agitates Sora immensely. He even could have finished Sora off with Dark Rebellion in that one Duel where he and Masumi were teaming up against him. Sure, Sora was holding back, but Yuto could have easily finished him instead of going after Masumi anyway, she was a weak target to deal with, Sora was clearly the bigger threat in that Duel. "Kgh…" Sora formed a fist with his hand and clenched his teeth hardly, with his anger rising. "Bring it out, that Monster...that Monster I hate so much...BRING IT OUT...DARK REBELLION XYZ DRAGON!"
Yuto sharpened his gaze at Sora as he continued with his move. "I, using the level 4 Phantom Knights Rusty Helmet and Phantom Knights Recruiter, overlay! With these two Monsters I construct the overlay network! Dragon with fangs of the pitch black darkness of the night, redeem the fall of your comrades and slash the pall of rebellion! Xyz Summon! Appear, Rank 4! Dark Redemption Dragon!" Yuto Xyz Summoned the Monster he used against Yuzu.
Dark Redemption: Rank 4, 2500 Atk, 2000 Def
"Dark...Redemption...Dragon…" Sora repeated the name of the dragon in awe. However, that awe soon turned into anger. That dragon looked just like it, the Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon. The green eyes of this dragon that tore into his soul, it was just like those blank yellow eyes that Dark Rebellion has.
"Not a bad start. Dark Redemption's effect, although it's once per turn, can be activated not only on your turn, but during Sora's turn too." Yuya noted.
Yuto took a step forward, a determined look on his face. "This dragon represents the will us soldiers of the Resistance has to avenge our fallen comrades! With this dragon, we will take the next step of defeating Academia!"
"I set 2 Cards and end my turn." Yuto concluded as two Cards materialized in front of him.
"You...I already lost to you once, and I came close to losing in that battle royal, and you weren't even using your full strength in either of those Duels! How many times are you going to keep mocking me?!" Sora shouted in absolute anger, insulted that Yuto, in both of the other times they Dueled, was hiding a much greater power in his Deck. It was like he was looking down on him, thinking that he wasn't ready for the next step of his Deck. First is the Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, then there is that Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon, and when Sora finally thinks that Monster is Yuto's final ace in the hole, he comes with THIS Monster. The feeling of being looked down on was so aggravating to Sora.
"I'll make you regret making fun of me! My turn, draw! I Summon Edge Imp Saw!" Sora slapped the Card onto his Duel Disk as a saw with two purple eyes appeared.
Edge Imp Saw: Level 3, 500 Atk, 1000 Def
"Edge Imp Saw's effect activates, when he is Normal Summoned, I can send Furnimal Sheep to the Grave in order to draw 2 Cards from my Deck!" Sora drew 2 Cards from his Deck with a lot of force. "I activate Fusion, I fuse Edge Imp Saw and Furnimal Lio! Steel blades possessed by demons. Become one with the fanged beast, and show us a new form and power! Fusion Summon! Show yourself! King of the hundred beasts that tears everything to pieces! Deathtoy Wheel Saw Lio!"
Wheel Saw Lio: Level 7, 2400 Atk, 2000 Def
"I activate the effect of Wheel Saw Lio! Once per turn, I can target a Monster you control, destroy the Monster, and then deal damage to you equal to the Attack of the destroyed Monster! I destroy your Dark Redemption!" Sora exclaimed as Wheel Saw Lio threw a saw at Dark Redemption.
"Not so fast! I activate the effect of Dark Redemption Dragon! Once during either player's turn, I can halve the Attack of a Monster on the Field, then, Dark Redemption gains the lost amount until the end of the turn. Furthermore, I can have a Monster on my Field become invulnerable to any kind of destruction! I halve the Attack of Wheel Saw Lio, and make Dark Redemption invulnerable!" Yuto explained as Dark Redemption let out his wings as it he let out electricity at Wheel Saw Lio. "Redemption Recharge!" Wheel Saw Lio slumped down from weakness as Dark Redemption roared in fury as he powered up.
Wheel Saw Lio: 2400-1200 Atk
Dark Redemption: 2500-3700 Atk
"I set a Card and end my turn." Sora concluded. "Now, at this moment, the Attack of our Monsters return to normal, correct?"
"Yes." Yuto confirmed.
Wheel Saw Lio: 1200-2400 Atk
Dark Redemption: 3700-2500 Atk
"My turn, draw! I activate the Trap Card Phantom Knights Dark Gauntlet! With this Card, I send one Phantom Knights Magic or Trap Card to the Grave, I send Phantom Knights Secret Arsenal! Now, the effect of Secret Arsenal activates, when sent to the Grave, I can add any Phantom Knights Card from my Deck to my Hand! I add the Continuous Magic Card Phantom Knights Special Forces, which I will now activate! I use its effect, once per turn, I can banish a Phantom Knights Card from my Grave, and then I can add any Card from my Deck or Grave to the Hand. I banish Phantom Knights Rusty Helmet! With it, I-"
"Wait, Yuto!" Yuya called out to the Phantom Knights user, interrupting the latter's move.
"What is it, Yuya?" Yuto asked as he was then surrounded in a purple void, where he saw Yuya standing in front of him.
"Let me Duel Sora. I'm going to reach out to him!" Yuya revealed his plan to Yuto.
"Wait, you want to Duel, how?" Yuto asked.
"Remember that one time I took control of your body? I was wondering if we could do that again." Yuya said.
"I don't know if it will work. And even if it could, this is my fight, Yuya. I don't want you interfering in this. You had nothing to do with this and you were unfairly dragged into this. I don't want you to be involved more than you already have." Yuto argued.
"I've already been involved in this to the point where there isn't any turning back now. Plus, we still need to get to Yuzu! Not only that, but I could tell that the feelings Sora shared with us with our time together was genuine! Finally, my home is being attacked by invaders from another dimension. The least I could do is help defend instead of just sitting back and watching things happen! Let me take control, Yuto!" Yuya pleaded to Yuto with a determined look on his face.
"I…" Yuto took a moment to think about Yuya's words, before putting a smile on his face, "Alright, I give you permission of control over my body. Remember, if you ever need to rest, I'll be here to take back control. I'm counting on you, Yuya!" Yuto gave Yuya a thumbs up as the purple void around shone a bright white light.
"Oi! What's going on?! Did you get cold feet?! Get on with it!" Sora rushed Yuto, getting impatient.
Suddenly, Yuto's eyes switched from gray to red, as Yuya's image overlapped Yuto's body for a second, before disappearing.
"What the hell were you doing?!" Sora asked in an interested expression.
"Just thinking. It's been a while, Sora." Yuya said.
"What? His voice is slightly different...it almost sounds like…" Sora trailed off in a whisper as Yuya continued with his move.
"Anyways, I add Entermate Call Back to my Hand! Now, I activate Dark Redemption's effect, Redemption Recharge!" Yuya exclaimed.
Wheel Saw Lio: 2400-1200 Atk
Dark Redemption: 2500-3700 Atk
"Now, I make Dark Redemption invulnerable to destruction! From the Grave, I activate Phantom Knights Recruiter's effect! By banishing this Card, I can, once per turn, Special Summon a Phantom Knights Monster from my Hand or Deck! From the Deck, I Special Summon Phantom Knights Paladin!" Yuya took an ejected Card from his Deck and placed it on his Duel Disk.
Phantom Knights Paladin: Level 3, 1400 Atk, 1200 Def
"I activate Paladin's effect! When this Card is Summoned, I can destroy a Monster on the Field, and then Paladin gains Attack equal to the Attack of the destroyed Monster. Wheel Saw Lio had 1200 Attack, so Paladin gains that amount!" Paladin sent out a wave at Lio.
"I don't think so! Trap Card, Deathtoy Backup! When a Deathtoy Monster I control would be destroyed by Battle or Card effect, the Monster is not destroyed, and then the Monster gains 800 Attack!" Sora countered as he opened his Trap. Paladin's wave struck Lio, but it had no effect. Lio gained a purple aura as it powered up.
Lio: 1200-2000 Atk
"I activate my set Card, Phantom Draw! By banishing 3 Phantom Knights Cards in my Hand, Grave, or Field, I can draw 3 Cards. I banish Phantom Knights secret Arsenal, Phantom Knights Paladin and Phantom Knights Special Forces! I draw 3 Cards and activate the additional effect of Special Forces!" Yuya declared as he raised his hand into the air. "When this Card leaves the Field, I can Special Summon a Monster from my Deck! Appear! Wondrous and beautiful dichromatic eyes! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
Odd Eyes roared in fury as he appeared onto the Field.
Odd Eyes: Level 7, 2500 Atk, 2000 Def
"Odd Eyes...Pendulum Dragon?! Why do you have that Card?! That's Yuya's!" Sora spoke in confusion and shock.
"That's right! I am Yuya! Wake up Sora! Can't you see, it's me, Sakaki Yuya! Don't you see that everything Academia is doing is wrong!" Yuya tried to convince Sora that it was him and that he should defect from Academia, but to no avail.
"No! Academia's goal is noble! Not only that, you're NOT Yuya! You're that Xyz Loser." Sora stated, not knowing that he was wrong.
"If my words won't convince you...the my Dueling will! Battle, go, Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, attack Wheel Saw Lio! Spiral Strike Burst!" Yuya shouted as his ace Monster jumped into the air, letting out a spiral torrent of flames as Wheel Saw.
"Damn." Sora cursed as he jumped to a floating platform, where he saw an Action Card, which he grabbed and activated. "Action Magic, Miracle! The destruction of my Monster is negated, and battle damage is halved!"
"True, but you will still take the damage. And, when Odd Eyes battle a level 5 or higher Monster, the battle damage is doubled, Reaction Force!" Yuya bellowed as Odd Eyes put more force into his attack, which struck Lio. Sora flinched from the damage.
Sora: 4000-3500 LP
"How about this, Dark Redemption Dragon, attack! Siege of Redemption!" Yuya declared as the dragon's fangs glowed a green light, then, a lightning bolt bolted towards Lio from the fangs. Yuya took this time to grab an Action Card. "Action Magic, Flame Chain, I'll have Lio lose 400 Attack!"
Sora grit his teeth out of frustration as he jumped to another platform to grab another Action Card. "Action Magic, No Action! I negate and destroy your Action Card!"
"The attack still continues!" Yuya reminded Sora as the lightning bolt connected, blowing Sora back, who was yelling in pain. He almost plummeted into the lava below, but he managed to grab onto the rocky bridge and lift himself up, saving his life.
Sora: 3500-1800 LP
"You say you want to help him, but you almost killed him." Yuto informed Yuya the obvious.
"Damn it! No, I don't believe this! You're not Yuya! You couldn't be. How would you have Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon? The only way you would have it is if you were to force it away from him, since that idiot is too stubborn to just let someone take his Odd Eyes! Plus, you may have the same face as Yuya, and you may all of a sudden sound like him, but you don't look anything like him." Sora stated his reasons for why he thought Yuya wasn't...well, Yuya.
"I set a Card and end my turn. At this moment, the Attack of Dark Redemption returns to 2500." Yuya concluded as he felt a pain rush through him, Yuto also felt this pain. The next thing they knew, Yuya wasn't in control, Yuto was.
"What the..." Yuya trailed off in awe as he looked at his hands, which were translucent.
"It seems that possession was only for a certain amount of time. Sorry Yuya, but I'll take the rest from here." Yuto told Yuya, who disappeared back into Yuto's body.
"I won't lose, not again! My turn, draw!"
Meanwhile
"I activate the Magic Card Fusion!"
"What?! Fusion?!" Obelisk Force Yellow exclaimed as he said what was on the other Obelisk Force members' minds.
"I'll fuse Volcanic Doomfire and Volcanic Buckshot! Two sparks of fire burn brightly, now merge into one burst of flames that can never be put out! Fusion Summon! Show yourself, level 7! Volcanic Avenger!" O'Brien chanted as his Fusion Monster appeared.
Volcanic Avenger: Level 7, 2600 Atk, 2300 Def
"The effect of Volcanic Buckshot activates, when sent to the Grave, you take 500 points of damage. I inflict 500 damage to you!" O'Brien pointed to Obelisk Force White, who widened his eyes in shock as a portal to the grave opened, out came a fireball which struck the White, making him stumble.
Obelisk Force White: 4000-3500 LP
"I activate the effect of Volcanic Avenger! Once per turn, I can target a Fire-Type Monster in my Grave and deal damage to you equal to the level of the targeted Monster times 200. I target Volcanic Doomfire, who has a level of 8, so I'll inflict 1600 damage to you!" O'Brien pointed to Obelisk Force White, who was knocked back by a fireball coming from Volcanic Avenger.
Obelisk Force White: 3500-1900 LP
"If you think I'm done, you're hardly mistaken. From my Hand, I activate the effect of Volcanic Fusioner, using this Card and another Volcanic Monster as materials, I can Fusion Summon a Monster from my Extra Deck. I fuse this Card with Volcanic Avenger. Monster with flames that can't be out, Beast that combines all flames, become one here and now, and create an eternal flame of destruction! Fusion Summon! Show yourself, level 8, Volcanic Eterno!" O'Brien's new Monster appeared to the Field. It had a body formed like a volcano, with a top with a fire burning and two bright orange eyes.
Volcanic Eterno: Level 8, 3200 Atk, 2500 Def
"Eterno's effect activates, when this Card is Fusion Summoned, I can inflict damage to one of you equal to the Attack of one of the Fusion Materials, I use Volcanic Avenger's Attack and inflict 2500 points of damage to you!" O'Brien pointed to Obelisk Force Blue as Eterno punched him with a fist of flames, sending Blue flying back.
Blue: 4000-1500 LP
"Fortunately for you, the turn Eterno uses this effect, his Attack is halved until the end of the turn." O'Brien stated the downside, much to the relief of the Obelisk Force.
Eterno: 3200-1600 Atk
"I end my turn." O'Brien concluded.
Eterno: 1600-3200 Atk
"My turn, draw! I Summon Big Jaws!" Shark Summoned his shark as it swam to the Field...actually, it just kind of floated.
Big Jaws: Level 3, 1800 Atk, 300 Def
"I, using the level 3 Big Jaws and Wall of Sharks overlay! Xyz Summon! Come forth, Rank 3, Submersible Carrier Aero Shark!"
Aero Shark: Rank 3, 1900 Atk, 1000 Def
"I activate Aero Shark's effect, once per turn, by detaching an overlay unit, I can inflict 400 damage to you for each Card in my Hand! I have 4 Cards, so I inflict 1600 points of damage to you!" Shark told Obelisk Force Purple, who jumped at being called. Aero Shark proceeded to shoot the soldier with multiple bullets, causing the soldier to crouch down and groan as pain rushed through his body.
Obelisk Force Purple: 4000-2400 LP
"From my Hand, I activate Rank-Up-Magic High Tide Force, using this Card and Aero Shark, I can Xyz Summon a Monster who has 1 Rank higher than Aero Shark! Rank Up Xyz Change! Appear, unappeased soul of the past that dwells aboard the ARK! Rise from the abyss where there is only darkness, and no light can reach it! Rank 4, Silent Honor ARK!"
ARK: Rank 4, 2100 Atk, 1000 Def
"I activate Silent Honor's effect, once per turn, by detaching an overlay unit, this Card can absorb any Card on the Field, and then, if the Card was a Monster, this Monster the Attack of the absorbed Monster! I absorb...O'Brien's Volcanic Eterno!" Shark revealed, shocking everyone except O'Brien. Why would he take his Monster? O'Brien would be left open. However, no one protested as Eterno was turned into an overlay unit and started to orbit Silent Honor.
ARK: 2100-5300 Atk
"5-5300 Attack?!" Obelisk Force Red gawked a the sight of the powered up Monster.
"Magic Card, Xyz Assault, activate! By paying 1000 Life Points, I can allow Silent Honor ARK to attack twice this turn." Shark said.
Shark: 2000-1000 LP
"Battle! Go, Silent Honor ARK, attack Ancient Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog!" Shark declared battle against the hound on Obelisk Force Purple's fear, Silent Honor rammed into the hound, destroying it immediately. Obelisk Force Purple yelled in pain as his life dropped to 0. He dropped to the ground unconscious.
Obelisk Force Purple: 2400-0 LP
"I'm not done, attack Ancient Gear Ultimate Hound Dog!" Shark shouted Silent Honor shot Ultimate Hound Dog, destroying the dog, sending Obelisk Force Yellow flying back as he hit the ground, unconscious.
Obelisk Force Yellow: 2000-0 LP
"I end my turn. Your up, Gongenzaka." Shark closed his eyes.
"Right, I won't mess up this opportunity that you gave me, Shark!" Gongenzaka assured Shark. "My turn, draw!"
Back with Yuto and Sora
"I acitvate Re-Fusion, I pay 800 Life Points in order to revive Wheel Saw Lio." Sora flinched as Lio reappeared.
Sora: 1800-1000 LP
"I activate Wheel Saw Lio's effect, once per turn, I can destroy a Monster you control, and then deal damage to you equal to the Attack of the destroyed Monster. I target that annoying Dark Redemption Dragon!" Wheel Saw Lio threw a saw at said Monster. Yuto spotted an Action Card on a stalagmite above him.
"Dark Redemption!" Yuto called out to his Monster as he jumped on his back. "Up there!" Yuto pointed to the Action Card. Following his command, the dragon flew up into the air towards the Action Card.
"Oh no you don't!" Sora yelled, he pointed to his Monster, and then to where Yuto was. "Send another saw!" Wheel Saw sent out a saw coming towards Yuto, who was caught off guard. Luckily, Dark Redemption flew down just in time. However, the saw continued to the stalagmite, it sliced the Action Card in half, causing it to disperse into little yellow particles.
Wheel Saw Lio sent one more saw, which struck Dark Redemption, causing the dragon to disappear, leaving Yuto to fall into the lava. Fortunately, Odd Eyes held out his tail, Yuto quickly, out of instinct, grabbed the tail. Odd Eyes moved his tail back onto the bridge, where Yuto let go. Sweat started to form on Yuto's brow. That near-death experience frightened him.
Yuto: 4000-1500 LP
Yuto gave Odd Eyes a quick nod of thanks before making his move. "When Dark Redemption Dragon is destroyed, I can destroy all Cards in my Pendulum Zones, there aren't any, so I'll skip that step. I get to place this Card in the Pendulum Zone."'
Dark Redemption appeared to the Field once again as he flew up higher to Yuto's left side as a light blue column enveloped him. The number '2' was shown below him.
Dark Redemption: Scale 2
"Pendulum?! No, I'm not losing! I'm not finished! I Summon Furnimal Owl." Sora showed Yuto the Card before putting it on his Duel Disk with force.
Furnimal Owl: Level 2, 1000 Atk, 1000 Def
"When this Card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, I can add Fusion to my Hand, which I will activate now, I fuse Furnimal Owl with Deathtoy Wheel Saw Lio! Fusion Summon! Come forth, level 8, Deathtoy Sabre Tiger!" Sora Fusion Summoned his Monster.
Sabre Tiger: Level 8, 2400 Atk, 2000 Def
"I activate the effect of Sabre Tiger, when this Card is Fusion Summoned, I can Special Summon 1 Deathtoy Monster in my Graveyard, ignoring its Summoning conditions. Come back, Deathtoy Wheel Saw Lio!" Sora pointed to an empty Monster Zone, which was then filled up with Wheel Saw Lio. "Since Sabre Tooth is on the Field, all Deathtoy Monsters gain 400 Attack for every Deathtoy or Furnimal Monster on the Field. Both of my Monsters gain 800 Attack."
Sabre Tooth: 2400-3200 Atk
Wheel Saw Lio: 2400-3200 Atk
"Since Wheel Saw Lio left the Field, I can use its once per turn effect again! (This ain't cheating, this actually can happen in real life.) I destroy Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Wheel Saw Lio threw a saw at Odd Eyes.
"Like I would let you! I activate my set Card." Yuto threw a hand towards his set Card, which revealed itself to Sora. "Quick-Play, Entermate Call Back!"
"What's this?" Sora muttered in confusion. He had never seen Yuya use that Card before, but this Xyz Loser doesn't use Entermate Monsters, but there was goose thing earlier...could this guy really be Yuya...is Yuya...somehow residing inside him? No, that's impossible. That is what Sora thought, little did he know that he was wrong.
"With Call Back, I can move an Entermate or Odd Eyes Monster to my Extra Deck, then, I can Special Summon a Entermate or Odd Eyes Monster from my Hand, Deck, Extra Deck, or Graveyard whose level is equal to or lower than the moved Monster. I move Odd Eyes to the Extra Deck! Now, from my Deck, I Special Summon Entermate Gumgumouton!"
Gumgumouton: Level 5, 900 Atk, 2400 Def
"Battle! Go, Sabre Tooth, attack Gumgumouton!" Sabre Tooth charged at Yuto's Monster.
"From the Grave, I use Entermate Call Back's additional effect, by banishing it from the Grave, I can negate the destruction of Gumgumouton!" The attack collided with Gumgumouton, splattering itself everywhere. However, the Monster simply regenerated.
"Time to destroy your Monster, go, Wheel Saw Lio!" Wheel Saw Lio jumped on top of Gumgumouton.
"I activate Gumgumouton's Monster effect, if this Card would be destroyed by battle, I can return one Card in the Pendulum Zone to my Hand instead, and then I place this Card in the Pendulum Zone. I return Dark Redemption to my Hand, but since it is an Xyz Monster, it goes back to the Extra Deck." Yuto reminded Sora as he placed the Card in his Extra Deck compartment. Gumgumouton dodged the attack and flew up to the Pendulum Zone as Dark Redemption turned into a purple orb, traveling back into his Card.
Gumgumouton: Scale 1
"I set a Card and end my turn." Sora concluded. Sora gave Yuto a dirty smirk. "Hah, this isn't looking good for you, Mr. Xyz Loser. You may have 4 Cards in your Hand, but I don't see what you can do to get past this. Also, there is no way you are going to trick me into thinking that you are Yuya. Hmm...maybe after all of this is over...I should take a visit to Academia, and visit that person you are fond of…"
Yuto gasped, knowing who Sora was talking about. "You mean...Ruri!"
"Yes. I'll tell her about how you failed to save her, and that he never thought of coming after her." Sora said in a mock tone towards Yuto, trying to anger him.
"Take one step close to her, and I'll make you pay!" Yuto told Sora in an agitated tone, his anger rising.
"Maybe I'll...I don't know...Card her!" Sora exclaimed, getting a sadistic grin on his face.
Something in Yuto snapped. "RAAAAAAAAAAGH!" The next thing he knew, he was in a light blue void, his anger continuing to rise.
"Yuto! Yuto! Yuto!" Yuya called out to the Xyz user, getting his attention. "You're not the only one who is mad...I'm also mad...at how I can't do ANYTHING TO HELP!"
Outside, Yuto's body shone with a bright blue light, making Sora shield his eyes.
"What...is going on here?" Sora questioned. He gasped when he saw a familiar figure standing in front of him. He thought the Xyz Loser had been lying. But he was there. That person he also needed to pay back, since he had a losing streak against him. It was the true owner of the Odd Eyes and Entermate Cards...the green and red hair all but gave it away…
It was Yuya…
"Sora!" Yuya spoke, finally back in his own body. "I will defeat you, with my own hands...and we will save this dimension!"

Ok, so I could have finished both Duels this chapter, but since I haven't updated this story in a million years, I decided to call this a chapter and finish the Duels (Actually the Obelisk Force Duel will have the same ending in the anime so I might skip that, also for the Yuto vs Sora Duel, I feel comfortable stopping there and continuing next chapter) next chapter, and then most likely set up for the Duel in the chapter after that.
I am VERY sorry for the update time.
I was either planning ahead for the story, or I was just forgetting about this chapter. The fact that I forgot is very unfair to you guys, for that I'm sorry.
Since you basically know what's happening next chapter, no preview.
I will try to update faster next time.
Yuka Kuroshiro: Yeah, I like it when Yuya is serious too, and has a better outlook on life instead of what was shown in the anime.
Rgriffin8999: I prefer the sub names over the dub in Gx. And for 5ds, well, unless I include Aki, the names for the characters are exactly the same. And even if I include Aki/Akiza, there wouldn't be much of a difference. Aki could be a nickname for Akiza, and the last name is similar enough.
Matrixnis: Yeah, I noticed how I haven't used them, especially O'Brien, so I decided to show them off here.
thetiger39: I really didn't like how they treated the bracelet girls, especially the one who has only had one Duel that isn't a flashback, I'm looking at you Rin.
Mekyaku: Well, about Mitchie, Yuya was at the weaker stages of his Deck, he didn't use any Summoning methods except Pendulum. He was still trying to evolve. Yeah, so Yuto vs Sora, I kind of want Yuya to have the spotlight in the Duel instead of Yuto, since I have recently realized how mean I have been to Yuya. I haven't gave him a single win yet.
Anyways, that's all for now.
Again, I am sorry for the VERY late update, I will try to update faster next time.
Take care, goodbye.
