"It's over." Yuya said in a low tone. The others looked on in awe, waiting for the smoke to clear.
"Is that all?" A voice was heard from the smoke, much to everyone's shock, especially Yuya.
"What?! How did you…?"
"It's simple. Before the attack connected, I activated the effect of D/D Guard from my Hand. By sending the Card to my Grave, I can negate the damage to 0." Reiji explained why he survived the attack. "That is not all, I can now draw a Card for every D/D Monster destroyed this."
"Wait, but no D/D Monster was destroyed this turn." Gongenzaka spoke.
"For effects that include D/D, D/D/D Monsters are included." Reiji revealed as he drew three Cards.
"Damn it." Yuya cursed under his breath. "He survived! Not much I can do now. I end my turn. At this moment, the effect if Phantom Knights Sorcerer ends, and Odd Eyes Absolute Dragon's Attack returns to normal."
Odd Eyes Absolute Dragon: 3800-2800 Atk
"It seems that Sakaki Yuya is in control of the body. And you stalled at the Card in your hand, Entermate Mammo Splash. If I'm not mistaken, the other soul, Yuto, the Xyz boy, is reluctant to use Fusion, because of the trauma he experienced during the invasion the Fusion Dimension performed on Heartland. Is that wrong?" Reiji asked Yuya, or Yuto, in particular.
"Damn it, Akaba Reiji!" Yuto mused in sheer anger as he appeared next to Yuya. However, Yuya didn't bother to even notice Yuto.
"You have done well up until now. However, even that will not be enough, for it is now my turn." Reiji showed Yuya a smile as he put a Card on the top of his Deck. "Draw! I, using the Scale 1 D/D Savant Galilei and Scale 8 D/D Savant Kepler, set the Pendulum Scale!
Everyone gasped in shock as Gongenzaka spoke. "There it is, Akaba Reiji's Pendulum Summon."
"Grand power that shakes my very soul, arise within me and become a new light that rends the darkness. Pendulum Summon! Come before me, my monster! D/D/D Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok!"
Abyss Ragnarok: Level 8, 2200 Atk, 3000 Def
"I activate the effect of Abyss Ragnarok! If this Card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, I can Special Summon a D/D/D Monster in my Graveyard. Come back to me, D/D/D Surging Waves King-Caesar!" Reiji pointed to an empty zone which was soon filled with Caesar.
Caesar: Rank 4, 2400 Atk, 1200 Def
Abyss Ragnarok has 2200 Attack, meanwhile Caesar only has 2400. With my 2500 Attack Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, 2600 Entermate Hammer Mammo, 2800 Absolute Dragon, along with my 3000 Beast Eyes, his Monsters won't have the power to beat them. Yuya thought to himself.
"I'm not done. Next, from my Hand I Summon D/D Necro Slime." Reiji calmly announced as he placed the Card of Necro Slime on his Duel Disk.
Necro Slime: Level 1, 300 Atk, 300 Def
"I activate Abyss Ragnarok's effect, once per turn, by releasing one other D/D Monster I control, I can banish a Monster you control. I banish that pesky Odd Eyes Absolute Dragon!" Reiji pointed to the ice dragon.
"No!" Yuya shouted as Necro Slime disappeared and Abyss Ragnarok simply thrusted his hand at Absolute, causing the dragon to roar in pain and disappear. "Odd Eyes!"
"But he still has his other Monsters!" Gongenzaka reminded Reiji.
"I activate the effect of Necro Slime in my Grave. By banishing this Card, i can Fusion Summon a D/D/D Monster." Reiji revealed.
"What?!" Mieru exclaimed in surprise.
"You mean that Akaba Reiji can also…" Sawatari trailed off as Yuya finished his sentence.
"Pendulum Fusion, too?"
"I fuse Abyss Ragnarok with Caesar." Reiji put his hand up to the air and started a chant. "Crush the twilight of gods, and with the force of your surging wave open up a new world! Fusion Summon! Come before me, autocratic god of limits! DDD Wave Destruction King - Kaiser Ragnarok!"
Kaiser Ragnarok: Level 10, 3200 Atk, 3000 Def
Shark narrowed his eyes at the Fusion Monster, his anger building up. Meanwhile Shun gave Reiji a dirty look. Yuto on the other hand simply flinched and shivered at the sight of the Fusion Monster.
"3200 Attack!" Yuya bellowed.
"Now I activate the effect of Caesar, when sent to the Graveyard, I can add a Dark Contract Card to my Hand from my Deck." Reiji explained as he took an ejected Card from his Duel Disk. "Battle! I attack Beast Eyes Pendulum Dragon with Kaiser Ragnarok!" Kaiser Ragnarok jumped into the air and charged up an attack with 6 spherical blue lights as a big blue beam shot from the middle at Beast Eyes. "The End of Judgement!" Beast Eyes was destroyed.
"Beast Eyes!" Yuya yelled in concern as he covered his face from the smoke.
Yuya: 2450-2250 LP
"Is this all you've got?" Reiji asked.
"What?!" Yuya questioned.
"You haven't given it your all yet." This statement from Reiji got a gasp from Yuya in response. "I haven't gone all out either. Obviously. I set two Cards and end my turn. Now, it's your turn. If you want me to go all out, I'm sure you won't be unwilling to show me your all."
"Something seems off here." Yuto muttered to himself. "There is one thing to do." Yuto disappeared. The next moment, Yuya felt a pain rush through his body-or, Yuto's body. He shut his eyes as he crouched down.
"What's wrong with Darling?" Mieru asked in concern.
"I don't know." Gongenzaka admitted. "He's done something similar to this earlier."
When Yuya opened his eyes, well, it wasn't Yuya, the eyes were gray, and it was Yuto opening his eyes, not Yuya.
"Those eyes! It's Yuto in control now." Gongenzaka noted.
"Akaba Reiji, there's something wrong here. You have cameras all over the city, constantly under surveillance. You should have been able to see everything, including where Yuzu was. So don't give us the bullshit about you not knowing. You saw something, now tell us what it is!" Yuto demanded. "Don't tell me, that you lied about Academia Carding Yuzu. I've been thinking, Ruri was kidnapped by Academia, from what we know, she hasn't been Carded. Academia is chasing Serena around like she has to be a guarded princess. They want her back, they don't want her Carded. From what I heard from Yugo, it sounds like his childhood friend Rin was kidnapped by an Academia soldier who looked just like me! Yuzu wasn't in any of the areas we looked, and Academia attacked. That boy could have been looking for Yuzu, and he could have kidnapped her, you could have saw that! You know something, Akaba Reiji. So answer me this, Yuzu is in Academia's clutches, right?"
"If you want an answer, then defeat me." Reiji said nonchalantly.
"What?!" Yuto exclaimed in shock.
"You claimed that you will make me grovel. And by the way you and Yuya talk of her, you sound like you are saying that as long as Hiragi Yuzu is alright, whatever happens to your other Carded comrades doesn't matter." Reiji deduced.
A look of horror came across Yuto and Yuya's faces as they thought back to Mitchie and Teppei being Carded. They hadn't realized how selfish they had been, especially Yuya. This entire time, he has only wanted Yuzu, he barely ushered about the others. Yuto clutched his head in pain as his blood started to boil.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" The screams of that very day came back to him. The burning city, the look on those bastards faces.
"GRAAAAAAAGH-ACK!" Yuto choked as he entered his berserk state.
"Yuya!" Gongenzaka glanced at Akaba Reiji.
Why? Why is Akaba Reiji provoking Yuya this much?
"RAGH!" Yuto snapped out of his berserk state. He mustn't falter now to the darkness, he must fight! "My turn!" Yuto drew his Card with force. Reiji let out a smirk as he looked at Yuto. "Once again swing, Pendulum of my Soul! Carve an arc of hope across the aether! Pendulum Summon! Show yourself, my Monster! From my Hand, Phantom Knights Secret Spy!"
Secret Spy: Level 4, 1000 Atk, 200 Def
"When this Card is Special Summoned, I can release a Monster I control and Special Summon a Monster from my Deck whose Level is lower than or equal to the released Monster's Level! I release Entermate Hammer Mammo and Special Summon Phantom Knights Fragile Armor from my Deck!"
Fragile Armor: Level 4, 1000 Atk, 2000 Def
"I, using the Level 4 Phantom Knights Secret Spy and Fragile Armor, overlay!" Yuto declared as his Monsters flew into the Overlay Network. "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!" Dark Rebellion rose to the Field as he whipped his tail around before letting out a roar of fury.
Dark Rebellion: Rank 4, 2500 Atk, 2000 Def
"Dark Rebellion!" Shun took notice of Yuto's dragon.
"There it is." Reiji murmured so that no one could hear him.
"I activate Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon's effect! By detaching an overlay unit, until the end of the turn I can halve the Attack of a Level 5 or higher Monster, and then Dark Rebellion gains the lost amount. Treason Discharge!" Dark Rebellion let out his wings as electricity shocked Kaiser Ragnarok, weakening the Monster.
Kaiser Ragnarok: 3200-1600 Atk
Dark Rebellion: 2500-4100 Atk
"I detach the remaining overlay unit, Treason Discharge!"
Kaiser Ragnarok: 1600-800 Atk
Dark Rebellion: 4100-4900 Atk
"4-4900 Attack...that's even more than what happened the last time I saw that Monster!" Sawatari exclaimed in shock.
"A 4100 Attack difference!" Gongenzaka pointed out.
"This will definitely end it!" Mieru declared.
"Battle! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, attack Kaiser Ragnarok!" Yuto declared battle as Dark Rebellion's fangs started surging with electricity as the dragon took flight and flew towards Kaiser Ragnarok. "Rebellious Lightning Disobey!"
"I activate Kaiser Ragnarok's effect, by returning Kepler to my Hand, I can now equip one of my opponent's Monsters to Kaiser Ragnarok and increase its Attack by that Monster's Attack. I equip Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon to Kaiser!" Kaiser thrusted out its hands as chains erupted from his body, wrapping them around Odd Eyes, causing the dragon to roar in pain as he disappeared.
Kaiser Ragnarok: 800-3300 Atk
"It's no use! Your current life point count is currently 600! Even with that Attack increase, the difference between our Monsters' Attack is 1600! This is the end, Akaba Reiji!" Yuto shouted as the attack connected, causing a large dust cloud to form.
"Is it over?" Mieru asked.
Tsukikage sharpened his gaze at the dust cloud, Yuto closed his eyes and turned around and started to walk away.
"Where do you think your going? We're still not done yet." Reiji spoke in the dust cloud, shocking everyone except Tsukikage, who simply closed his eyes.
"How?!" Yuto questioned.
"Before the attack connected, I activated my Trap Card, D/D/D Contract Change, by banishing the D/D/D Monster in my Grave with the highest Attack, I can make the damage from this battle 0. I banished Alexander." Reiji replied with an explanation. "Anyways, Contract Change isn't done, once the first effect resolves, I can add a Level 4 or lower D/D Pendulum Monster from my Deck to my Hand. I add D/D Savant Copernicus, however, I doubt that I will need to use this Monster." Reiji closed his eyes, cleary holding back his power.
"Wait, so what was the point of using Kaiser Ragnarok's effect?" Sawatari asked. "Although you got rid of Odd Eyes, Yuto can just Pendulum Summon the Monster next turn!" This was something that everyone else had on their mind.
"I end my turn." Yuto concluded. "At this moment, Dark Rebellion's Attack returns to normal."
Dark Rebellion: 4900-2500 Atk
"That was impressive. Once again, I've seen what's beyond your Pendulum. However, there is some things that are off. If Pendulum Fusion as born from your bonds with Hiragi Yuzu, then was it your bond with Sakaki Yuya that made Pendulum Xyz to be born?" Reiji asked a rhetorical question. "From what I saw on the turn before this one, you seemed to argue with Yuya about using Mammo Splash, hence why you took so long to make a move. Now, it's my turn."
"The tides seem even." Dennis whispered to himself.
"My turn, draw!" Reiji eyed the Card he drew and made his move. "Through the Pendulum effect of the already set D/D Savant Galilei, I increase the Scale from 1 to 3."
Galilei: Scale 1-3
At that moment, a memory sprouted in Yuya's head, who was watching the Duel unfold. The memory was that Reiji was going to make his move, but something went wrong with his Scales, they changed, and his Monsters were destroyed "So that's why he broke his Scales when Dark Rebellion attacked. He wanted to prevent the thing from that time happening again. So, the thing that happened from that time were the Pendulum effects of his Cards, it wasn't just a malfunction in the system."
"Once again. I set the Scale 10 D/D Savant Kepler that was returned to my Hand. With this, I can simultaneously Summon Monsters from Level 4 to 9 at one. Grand power that shakes my very soul, arise within me and become a new light that rends the darkness. Pendulum Summon! Come before me, my monsters! D/D/D Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok! And from my Hand, D/D/D CEO Hell Armageddon!" Reiji placed his two desired Monsters onto his Duel Disk.
Hell Armageddon: Level 8, 3000 Atk, 1000 Def
"That's the Monster that cornered Yuya in their other match!" O'Brien realized.
"Trap Card, Wings of Misdirection, activate! Until the end of the turn, the activation of all of the opponent's Monster effects, Magic, and Traps are negated. Also, one Monster on my Field has its Attack increased by 800!" Yuto opened his only face down Card.
Dark Rebellion: 2500-3300 Atk
"Dark Rebellion's Attack is now higher than Hell Armageddon's!" Mieru smiled in joy.
"Not only that, but he's sealed the opponent's set Cards!" Gongenzaka added.
"Something doesn't add up here, this seems to easy…" Shark scanned the Field for anything unusual, that's when it hit him. "He has two Level 8 Monsters!"
"From here on out, I will have you in my hands. I overlay the Level 8 Abyss Ragnarok and Hell Armageddon!" Reiji announced as his two Monsters turned into materials.
"What?!" Shun widened his eyes.
"He can do a Pendulum Xyz also!?" Sawatari gaped at the sight of the Overlay network, while Serena simply looked on in interest.
"When two suns rise, the horizon of a new world shall open up! Xyz Summon! Appear and come forth, Rank 8! DDD Twin Dawn King Kali Yuga!" Reiji widened his eyes as his Monster appeared, laughing out loud on his throne.
Kali Yuga: Rank 8, 3500 Atk, 3000 Def
"3500 Attack…" Yuto mused in awe.
"When this Card is Special Summoned successfully, until the end of the turn, all Card effects aside from Kali Yuga are negated." Reiji said.
"No way!" Yuto gasped in shock as his Trap Card gained a purple aura as Dark Rebellion hunched down from the power decrease.
Dark Rebellion: 3300-2500 Atk
"Dark Rebellion's Attack is normal!" Mieru yelped.
"Battle! I attack Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon with Kali Yuga. Twin Break Shot!" Reiji declared as Kali Yuga struck Dark Rebellion with two lightning bolts.
"Not so fast, when a Monster that has been Xyz Summoned by using Phantom Knights Secret Spy as Material would be destroyed, I can negate the destruction only once!" Yuto countered.
"But you'll still take the damage!" Reiji called out the classic Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V meme as the attack continued. Yuto was thrown flying back as he yelled in pain, he was thrown down the stairs until he hit the bottom where he laid.
Yuto: 2250-1250 LP
Reiji slowly walked over to the top of the stairs. "I end my turn."
"Yuto!" Shark, Shun, and O'Brien yelled in concern as they started to make a run for their comrades. (Bet you didn't expect that, huh.)
"What's the matter? Are you done already? Where did that conviction to make me grovel go?" Reiji questioned Yuto, who was grimacing on the floor as he looked at Reiji, with bruises on his face from falling down the stairs.
"This has gone long enough!" O'Brien exclaimed as he ran towards Yuto.
"I'm not having my best friend lose like this!" Shun yelled.
"You'll pay for this, Akaba Reiji!" Shark called out Reiji as the trio ran to Yuto.
"Stay out of the way!" Yuto shouted at the trio, who stopped looking at their friend in shock. Yuto wasn't one to lose his cool like that and lash out. Yuto slowly stood up, his left eye changing its color to red. "This is my Duel...and Yuya's also!"
"I will…" Yuto trailed off, letting Yuya continue.
"Save Yuzu no matter the cost!" Yuya's voice could actually be heard.
"Darling…" Mieru whispered. Yuya cared about Yuzu that much? To the point where he would sacrifice everything to make sure she was safe?
"And..." Yuto spoke, his voice being heard now, "I will save Ruri from Academia's dirty hands, and defeat the Fusion Dimension!"
"Ruri…" Shun repeated the name of his dear sister. Dennis narrowed his eyes at the mention of Ruri.
"That's why we can't afford to lose!" Both Yuya and Yuto shouted out their resolve in unison. "To those who try to make us fight and hurt people...those who hurt people through Dueling themselves...THERE'S NO WAY WE'LL LOSE TO THEM! MY TURN!" Yuto and Yuya drew the top Card of their Deck with a lot of force, their blood starting to boil. "We will win! With the new power that we have achieved together, we will defeat you! With the already set Pendulum Scale, we Pendulum Summon! Revive from the Extra Deck, Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Odd Eyes appeared to the Field, roaring out in rage at Reiji.
"Odd Eyes is back!" Mieru cried out in excitement.
"We activate the Magic Card Scale Switch! With this Card, we can shuffle two Cards in our Pendulum Zones to our Deck, then, we reset the Pendulum Scale with two Monsters from our Deck!" Yuto and Yuya shuffled both Phantom Knights Cavalier and Phantom Knights Paladin into the Deck, before taking two ejected Cards out of their Deck.
"I, using the Scale 3 Antithesis Magician…" Yuto revealed the two Cards to Reiji.
"And the Scale 8 Synthesis Magician…" Yuya continued.
"Set the Pendulum Scale!" Both finished in unison.
"It's those Cards!" O'Brien flashed back to the Duel with Yuto and Sora.
"I activate the Pendulum effect of Antithesis Magician!" Yuya held up his hand to said Monster. "Once per turn, I can make an Xyz Monster gain a Level equal to its Rank!" Blue circles of light flew over to Dark Rebellion, before crashing to the ground, engulfing the dragon in blue light. "I grant the Rank 4 Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon a Level of 4!"
"This again." Gongenzaka said, knowing what was going to happen next.
"I activate the Pendulum effect of Synthesis Magician!" Yuto declared. "I can give a Monster the same Level as another Monster." Synthesis Magician shot an arrow towards both dragons, which exploded in between the two as the dragons were covered in an aura of their respective colors "I make Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon's Level the same as Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, 7!"
"Now he has two Level 7 Monsters…" Serena mumbled.
Reiji showed a rare smile of anticipation that couldn't be seen by anyone. "It's here…"
"I overlay my Level 7 Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Yuya declared as the two dragons turned into materials.
"With these two Monsters I build the Overlay Network!" Yuto spoke.
"Dragon of dual colored eyes," Yuya started the chant.
"Unleash that black scale of wrath, eradicate all opposing enemies!" Yuto continued.
"Xyz Summon! Come forth, Rank 7! Dragon with eyes of rage! Supreme King Black Dragon - Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon!" Both counterparts completed the chant as their dragon flew to the Field, letting out a powerful roar that released shockwaves.
Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon: Rank 7, 3000 Atk, 2500 Def
Reiji started to laugh as he held up his hand. "This is it. This is what I wanted to see."
"From the Grave, I activate the Trap, Wings of Misdirection! By banishing this Card, Antithesis Magician along with Synthesis Magician in order to increase Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon's Attack by 800 until the end of the turn!" Yuto explained as the three said Cards were banished as Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon gained a purple aura.
Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon: 3000-3800 Atk
"Also, until the end of the turn, all the effects of my opponent's Monsters and the activation of their set Cards are negated!" Yuya added to Yuto's explanation.
"I activate Kali Yuga's Monster effect! This Monster's effects can't be negated by the effects of other Cards." Reiji countered.
"It doesn't matter if you do!" Both Yuya and Yuto exclaimed. "Kali Yuga's Attack is 3500, while Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon's Attack is 3800! Your set Cards are sealed, and after this you won't be left with any Monsters! Battle! Go, Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon!" The dragon flew into the air as electricity surged through his fangs. The dragon dug his fangs into the ground as he flew up the stairs to Kali Yuga. "Rebellious Wrath Strike Disobey!"
Reiji thrusted his hand forward, making his move. "I activate Kali Yuga's effect! By using one overlay unit, I can destroy all Magic and Trap Cards on the Field!" Kali Yuga swatted his hand at the Cards, immediately destroying them with a gust of wind."I use the remaining overlay unit to return my destroyed Cards back to where they were!" Kali Yuga raised his hands, and the Cards returned to where they were before destruction. "Wings of Misdirection only works on Cards that were on the Field when it was activated. I can activate my Cards now. Trap activate! Dark Contract with Errors! I can negate the effects of Trap Cards in activation. I negate Wings of Misdirection." Yuto's Trap turned completely gray, signifying that the effect was negated.
Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon: 3800-3000 Atk
Yuto gasped in shock as he saw Odd Eyes Rebellion lose Attack points, and he couldn't call off the attack.
"Next I activate another Trap Card! Dark Contract with Renewal! Now, with this Card, I can use the effects of the negated Wings of Misdirection." Reiji's activated Card was replaced with Wings of Misdirection.
"Wait, so that means…" Yuto looked on in horror, so did Yuya.
"With Wings of Misdirection's effect, I increase Kali Yuga's Attack by 800!"
Kali Yuga: 3500-4300 Atk
"The battle resumes! Now, Kali Yuga, beat Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon at its own game!" Kali Yuga pointed its hand at Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon, a purple beam was shot towards the dragon. Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon quickly swerved upwards to collide with the attack. There was a struggle between the two attacks, however, Kali Yuga's attack was too much for Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon, and the dragon gave up and was destroyed, causing an explosion to occur. Yuto was thrown back by the force of the explosion as he yelled out in pain, his left eye returning to the color gray. Yuto dropped to the ground as he was defeated, and the Action Field started to disappear.
Yuto: 1250-0 LP
"Yuto…lost…." Shun looked on in shock. Ever since the war began, he hasn't seen his friend lose a Duel, so to see him lose now was just shocking.
"You still have doubts. You still hold onto the pain and trauma you experienced during the attack on the Xyz Dimension. It may never be erased from your head ever, but you must come to terms with it. Next time you hesitate to use the Fusion Summoning Method like this, it could very well cost you. You're lucky Yuya stepped in, it made you last longer, and even still, I was holding back in the end. But I still have hopes for you, the same goes to all of you who survived the Battle Royale. You all, with your knowledge of Pendulum Summoning, have surpassed LDS' top team." Reiji told everyone present. "That's why I've decided to choose you all to be Lancers and cross dimensions with me."
"Cross dimensions?" Gongenzaka repeated in confusion.
Reiji didn't answer and just walked away. "The data from the Duel?"
"Everything has been recorded." Nakajima responded through Reiji's earpiece.
"I see. Good work."
Yuto formed a fist while on the ground. "I'm sorry, Yuya."
Yuya merely scoffed in anger as he disappeared into Yuto's body to think on some things. Looks like the argument they had done a number on their partnership. They had both gotten pretty angry, and with the changes Yuya had to his personality, it's not as easy to forgive.
"This isn't enough...I need to get stronger...more stronger...in order to save everyone from Academia's clutches...as I am now...I will fail…kgh…" Yuto rose up and yelled to the skies, "DAMN IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"
Card Catalog
D/D Guard: When you would take damage, you can send this Card to the Grave, make that damage 0, and if you do, draw 1 Card for every D/D Monster destroyed this turn.
Phantom Knights Secret Spy, Dark, Warrior: When this Card is Special Summoned, you can release a Monster, then, Special Summon a Monster from your Deck whose Level is lower than or equal to the released Monster's. Once, when a Monster Xyz Summoned by using this Card as material would be destroyed, you can negate the destruction.
Scale Switch, Magic: You can shuffle two Cards in your Pendulum Zones into your Deck, then, reset the Pendulum Scale with two Pendulum Cards from your Deck.
Finished. Sorry that the Duel ended in the same way. Also, sorry if you didn't want Yuto to lose, other than this Duel, Yuto hasn't lost a Duel yet, like, a literal loss. So, this was the perfect Duel to have him lose.
Anyways, a present for all of you patient people out there, an early update! One in which I actually didn't rush.
If you're wondering why I made a new Card named Scale Switch for Yuto on his last turn instead of using Possession is because of the Grave effect I used for Possession. I'm pretty sure Yuto wouldn't lose if I used Possession.
Here's the preview.
After Yuto and Reiji's Duel, the Lancers arrive to Miami Stadium, where Himeka makes the announcement that the Miami Championship is going to be cancelled. After the announcement, Yoko decides to give Yuto a pep talk before he goes to cross dimensions.
No Duel next chapter, sorry about that, I wanted to skip the Duel between Yuya and Yoko. No, don't think Smile World won't make an appearance.
Well, here we go with the reviews, and boy was I not surprised to see people throw rocks at Yuya, though I can understand why though.
Guest: Yuya has bascially experienced Yuto's memories, however, what Yuya doesn't realize is that experiencing a memory and actually being there are two different things (Thank you Yuka Kuroshiro for that saying.)
Cybresamurai: One will come in the future, it won't actually be called Phantom Knights *Insert the rest of name here*
rgriffin8999: I'll take that into consideration, but Yuzu doesn't need to learn Synchro Summoning from Yugo, she already knows how to do from seeing other people do it, like Yaiba and Gongenzaka, she just doesn't have any Synchro related Cards.
Guest: Dang, I didn't think people would take it this far when it comes to throwing rocks at Yuya. My answer here is the same as the first Guest review, unless you're the same person who is just posting two different reviews saying similar things.
Yuka Kuroshiro: As you said, Yuya isn't being considerate of Yuto's feelings, Yuto also doesn't know how to let go of his hatred, and his hatred for Fusion blinds him in the fact that the method isn't bad, it's the people who use it, as you said. I mean, look at Yuzu! She is FAR from a bad person...unless you make her mad.
Unknowndez: Just temporarily...just temporarily.
Matrixnis: Thank you for reminding me. I actually did put in the reactions, but I think I accidentally deleted them while proofreading last chapter. I will add them in alongside this chapter. Yeah, I decided to be cruel with the cliffhanger. What do you mean, make Yuto and Yuya lose again? Do you mean like they did in the anime? Sorry, if so, but I needed to have them lose so Yuto won't go through the first arc flawless with no losses, also as a reminder that he still has a way to go, and he can still improve and get stronger, nothing against Yuya, he just had to get dragged into it.
That's all for now guys. Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter.
Take care, goodbye!
