"DUEL!" Both Yuya and Yuri recited in unison as they both activated their Duel Disk, drawing five Cards from their Deck.
Action Cards scattered throughout the room due to the crossover Action Field taking effect. Light blue platforms materialized out of thin air for the Duelists to jump off of.
"I think I'll take the first turn." Yuri announced with a wide smirk, placing a Card onto his Duel Disk. "From my Hand, I Summon Predator Plants Ophrys Scorpio to the Field."
A green scorpion with a black-colored stinger appeared to the Field.
Ophrys Scorpio: Level 3, 1200 Atk, 800 Def
"When Normal or Special Summoned, I discard a Predator Plants Monster in my Hand in order to bring out a level 3 or lower Predator Plants Monster from my Deck!" Yuri explained as he held out a Monster to Yuya. "I send Predator Plants Sarraceniant to the Graveyard. Come out, Predator Plants Sundew Kingii!"
A green plant-looking Monster with red spots spread all over its body appeared to the Field.
Sundew Kingii: Level 2, 600 Atk, 200 Def
"I activate Sundew Kingii's effect! During my Main Phase, I can Fusion Summon a Monster using this Card and other Monsters in my Hand, Field, or Monsters on your Field with a Predator Counter as Materials. I fuse Sundew Kingii with Ophrys Scorpio!" Yuri held up his hand as his Monsters swirled in a vortex-like fashion, bringing down his hands clasped together as he announced the Summon of his Monster. "Fusion Summon! Appear! Level 7! Predator Plants Chimerafflesia!"
The surface below Yuya and Yuri shuddered as a giant flower with pink petals and two flytrap-like tentacle arms sprouted from the ground.
Chimerafflesia: Level 7, 2500 Atk, 2000 Def
"I set this Card facedown. I end my turn." Yuri concluded as his set Card momentarily appeared in front of him. After concluding with his turn, Yuri stroked his chin with a taunting yet interested look in his eyes, examining his opponent. "Yuya, right? I wonder how strong you are. Hopefully you are stronger than Yuzu, Ruri, and Rin."
Yuya sharpened his gaze, a fierce look flashing through his eyes as he grit his teeth out of anger. "That's right...you are the one who kidnapped Ruri and Rin. You were the one who made Yugo fight me. You caused me to lose my body! You hurt Yuzu!"
"Oh, please!" Yuri waved it off casually as it was nothing. "Fusion's stupidity was what caused you to lose your body. Plus, I had offered Hiragi Yuzu a chance to come with me without resistance. The pain and fear she had felt from that Duel was brought on by herself."
"It doesn't matter!" Yuya shouted. "The fact of the matter is that you are the source of everything. And for that, you must be put down!"
"I would love to see you try!"
"My turn!" Yuya announced, swiping off the top Card of his Deck. "I, using the Scale 2 Entermate Drumming Kong and the Scale 8 Dragonpit Magician, set the Pendulum Scale!"
Placing his Cards on both sides of his Duel Disk, the word Pendulum played across his blade as a large form of Yuya's pendant appeared between the two Scales.
"With this, I can simultaneously Summon Monsters with levels between 3 and 7. Swing! Pendulum of my soul, carve an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Appear, my Monster!" Yuya declared as a single beam of light flushed out of the portal.
Coming out of the portal was Entermate Whip Viper in Attack Position.
Whip Viper: Level 4, 1700 Atk, 900 Def
"To follow this, I bring out Entermate Sword Fish!"
Sword Fish: Level 2, 600 Atk, 600 Def
"I activate Whip Viper's effect! I can target a Monster you control and switch it's Attack and Defense until the End Phase." Yuya said as Whip Viper hissed. "Now, Chimerafflesia's stats are flipped!"
Chimerafflesia gained a purple outline as the plant was affected by Whip Viper's effect.
Chimerafflesia: 2000 Atk, 2500 Def
Yuya pointed a finger towards his other Monster. "I activate the effect of Entermate Sword Fish. Once per turn, I can target a Monster you control and decrease its Attack by 600 until the end of the turn."
Chimerafflesia: 2000-1400 Atk
After the decrease, Yuya slid a Card into his Magic and Trap Zone. "I activate the Quick-Play Magic Big Return. With this, I can target a Card I control and activate its once per turn effect again. I choose to use Sword Fish's effect again to further decrease Chimerafflesia's Attack!"
Chimerafflesia: 1400-800 Atk
"Battle!" Yuya waved his hand, jabbing a finger towards Chimerafflesia. "Entermate Whip Viper, attack Predator Plants Chimerafflesia!"
Yuri watched with a smirk as Whip Viper slithered over to Chimerafflesia, wrapping around the plant and beginning to squeeze…
"I activate the effect of Predator Plants Chimerafflesia! Once per turn, when an attack is declared involving this Monster, I can lower the Attack of your Monster and raise the Attack of Chimerafflesia by 1000!" Yuri explained with a wide grin. "Sorry, but it looks like your life will take a big hit."
Whip Viper: 1700-700 Atk
Chimerafflesia: 800-1800 Atk
Damn it...Yuya cursed internally with a drop of sweat rolling down his face as his surroundings seemed to run in slow motion. I won't be able to destroy Chimerafflesia...and I'm going to be losing life points. In that case…
Yuya raised his hand to his gorilla-like Monster. "I activate the Pendulum effect of Entermate Drumming Kong! Once per turn, when a Monster I control battles an opponent's Monster, I can increase that Monster's Attack by 600!"
Whip Viper: 700-1300 Atk
Despite the Attack increase, Whip Viper still had a lower Attack. As a result, when the snake tripped to squeeze Chimerafflesia, the plant bulged as an act of resistance, destroying the reptile.
Yuya: 4000-3500 LP
"I set this one Card and end my turn." Yuya concluded as he inserted the last Card in his Hand into his Duel Disk.
"Now that it is the end of the turn, all of the effects on Chimerafflesia will wear off." Yuri reminded his opponent as Chimerafflesia's Attack returned to normal.
Chimerafflesia: 1800-2500 Atk
"Not bad." Yuri admitted with a carefree tone. "You are the first strong person I have faced to use Pendulums. This bout between the two of us is sure to be interesting, don't you think, Yuya-kun?"
Yuya maintained a straight face, not wanting Yuri to take advantage of any emotion that would play through his facial expressions.
"Your move, Yuri."
"Then I will take it with pleasure! My turn!" Yuri announced, drawing his Card. "I activate the effect of Predator Plants Chimerafflesia! Once per turn, I can target a Monster with a level lower than this Card and banish it. Say goodbye to your Sword Fish."
The next thing Yuya knew, his only Monster was ensnared by one of Chimerafflesia's flytrap-like arms, disappearing from the Field with a single munch of the mouth.
"Battle! Go, Predator Plants Chimerafflesia, attack Yuya directly!" Yuri commanded as his Fusion Monster unleashed one of his arms towards Yuya.
"Not so fast!" Yuya revealed his only set Card. "I activate the Trap Card Entermate Call. When you declare a direct attack on me, I can negate the Monster's attack and then add 2 Entermate Monsters to my Hand whose combined Defense is lower than the Attack of the negated Monster."
Chimerafflesia's Attack was 2500. So, Yuya added Entermate Pendulum Sorcerer and Entermate Dag Daggerman.
"So you managed to avoid my attack, huh? Very well." Yuri raised a Card and inserted it into his Duel Disk. "I'll throw down this Card and end my turn."
"It's my turn, I draw!" Yuya ripped the top Card off his Deck. "Now, with the already set Pendulum Scale, I perform a Pendulum Summon! Appear, my Monster! Come out, Entermate Pendulum Sorcerer!"
Pendulum Sorcerer: Level 4, 1500 Atk, 800 Def
"Entermate Pendulum Sorcerer's effect!" Yuya prompted as his newly Summoned Monster glowed a bright light. "If this Card is Special Summoned, I can target up to two Cards I control and destroy them. Then, I can add Entermate Monsters with different names up to the number of Cards I destroyed. I choose to destroy Entermate Drumming Kong and Pendulum Sorcerer!"
After the two Cards disappeared from the Field, Yuya searched through his Deck. Ever since he had gotten separated from Yuto, he noticed that he had a few new Cards that he had never seen before.
As such, Yuya added Entermate Barrier Balloon Tapir and one of his new Monsters.
"I reset the Pendulum Scale using the Scale 2 Entermate Dag Daggerman!" Yuya said, placing the Card onto his Scale. "I activate Dag Daggerman's Pendulum effect! During my Main Phase, if this Card was activated this turn, I can add an Entermate Monster from my Grave to my Hand. I'll return Whip Viper to my Hand."
Returning the Monster to his Hand, Yuya brought his attention to the new Monster that he had previously added to his Hand.
"Come out, Entermate Odd Eyes Synchron!"
Upon Yuya's declaration, a round Monster with dual-colored eyes appeared to the Field.
Odd Eyes Synchron: Level 2, 200 Atk, 600 Def
Yuya pointed towards his new Monster. "I activate the effect of Entermate Odd Eyes Synchron. I can Synchro Summon using this Monster and a Card in one of my Pendulum Zones. Now, I tune the level 5 Entermate Dag Daggerman in my Pendulum Zone with the level 2 Entermate Odd Eyes Synchron on my Field!"
"Oh?" Yuri raised his eyebrows with interest. "A Synchro Summon?"
"Dragon with dual-colored eyes, crash to the Field with a burst of fire, and unleash your powers for all to see! Synchro Summon! Appear! Level 7! Odd Eyes Meteorburst Dragon!"
A burning red version of Odd Eyes appeared to the Field out of a wall of flames, eliciting a ferocious roar at its foe.
Meteorburst Dragon: Level 7, 2500 Atk, 2000 Def
"When Odd Eyes Meteorburst Dragon is Special Summoned, I can target a Card in my Pendulum Zone and Special Summon it." Yuya explained as he removed one of his Scales. "Come to the Field, Dragonpit Magician!"
Dragonpit Magician: Level 7, 900 Atk, 2700 Def
"Next, I overlay the level 7 Odd Eyes Meteorburst Dragon and Dragonpit Magician to construct the overlay network!" Yuya exclaimed as a portal opened in front of him, his Monsters sinking into the vortex and imploding. "Dragon with dual-colored eyes, step into a brand new stage of ice and snow, and snow your absolute powers to the world! Xyz Summon! Show yourself! Rank 7! Odd Eyes Absolute Dragon!"
Absolute Dragon: Rank 7, 2800 Atk, 2500 Def
"I set this Card and end my turn." Yuya concluded.
"Pendulum, Synchro, and Xyz?" Yuri remarked with a grin, his hands beginning to shake. "Very impressive. I haven't seen someone who has used more than one Summoning method. I must say, the thought of taking down such a foe is...exhilarating! I'm trembling out of excitement just at the thought of it! You are very interesting, Yuya. If you are going to come at me with everything you have, then I must do the same!"
Unfortunately for Yuri, his enjoyment was to be further delayed…
"I think the next turn is mine, Yuri." A voice suddenly announced out of nowhere. Yuya gasped out of shock as he and Yuri turned their attention to a dark portion of the room, where they saw Roget standing above them with a smug smile on his face, his Duel Disk activated and six Cards in his Hand. He had taken the intrusion penalty, cutting his life in half.
Roget: 4000-2000 LP
"Oh, so the traitor decides to show his treacherous face." Yuri hissed, annoyance visibly evident on his face due to Roget's interruption.
"Yuri, the Professor's lapdog." Roget retorted with disgust and venom. "Such an ugly stain to have in my presence."
"Don't flatter yourself, Roget-san." Yuri deadpanned. "After all, you never amounted to much to look at. Especially now."
Roget scowled in response to this. "You have the audacity to tread upon my kingdom. As the king, I cannot allow this!"
"It's such a shame. I had just found something of interest in my journey here." Yuri signed gesturing over to his counterpart. "You know, had I not been ordered here by the Professor, I would not bother staining my hands with irrelevant scum like you. Although, seeing you here, the more I realize that I have left too much trash in the world. Traitors like you must be destroyed. Those who turn on Academia must be terminated."
"You dare show such disrespect?!" Roget's face contorted into an expression of rage. "You should be bowing down to me!"
"I do not bow down to anyone, Roget-san." Yuri said with a nonchalant tone. "You should know that I follow the Professor out of my volition. Should I feel the need, I could easily turn my back on him. I am merely repaying my debt to him with my services."
Yuya's eyes darted from Roget to Yuri as he gazed upon the exchange between the two. Immediately, from the first words, he could tell that the two despised each other. For what reason, Yuya didn't know. However, he knew that he could use this to his advantage.
While Roget wasn't a member of Academia, he clearly had the people of the City trapped in the palm of his hand. So, while his mission was to defeat Academia, he also wanted to help people as much as he could. Perhaps it was a lingering attachment to his Entertainment Dueling style. Or perhaps his father still influenced him greatly today. Regardless, he knew what he wanted to do.
"Yuri!" He called out, gaining the attention of his Fusion counterpart. "This guy is a traitor in the eyes of Academia, right? Then that means we share a common enemy. This man is responsible for the fractured state of this city. We must work together to take him down!"
"Oh?" Yuri raised an eyebrow. "What makes you think I would work together with you?"
"Because I know you want to have an uninterrupted battle with me! You seek the strongest opponent there is. You want to be the best!" Yuya yelled with wide eyes filled with conviction. "We can finish our match later once Roget is out! Roget is the enemy of both the Lancers and Academia. By taking him out, our common enemy will be gone!"
"You do raise a fair point." Yuri pandered, stroking his chin. "Plus, I do like you a little more than Roget-san over there. Getting rid of him now would be a blessing. Hmm…"
"Sorry to interrupt your thoughts, Yuri." Roget spoke suddenly. "However, as I said, the next turn is mine! From my Hand, I Summon Chess Servant: White Pawn!"
White Pawn: Level 4, 1500 Atk, 200 Def
"Next, I activate the Magic Card Arrival Of The Reinforcements! I can target a Chess Servant Monster I control. Then, I can Special Summon up to two other copies of that Monster from my Hand, Deck, or Graveyard. Come out, my Pawns!"
Two more copies of Roget's Monster appeared on the Field.
"White Pawn gains 500 Attack for each Monster in a zone diagonal from its own. Since it is a three way Duel, both of your Monsters in the middle zone count!"
As a result of this, both of the new White Pawns gain 1000 Attack.
White Pawns: 1500-2500 Atk
Roget held up another Card in his Hand. "This Attack boost won't matter however. By releasing three Chess Servant Monsters I control, I can Special Summon this Monster from my Hand. Appear, Chess Master: White Queen!"
White Queen: Level 8, 2800 Atk, 2000 Def
"Next, I choose to activate the Magic Card Army Push! With this Card, I get to banish a Chess Monster from my Graveyard. I can then give a Chess Monster I control the Attack of the banished Monster until the end of the turn. I banish one of my White Pawns to give White Queen it's Attack."
White Queen: 2800-4300 Atk
"Hmm…" Roget hummed as he glanced at Yuri. Attacking Chimerafflesia is useless due to its effect. Therefore… "I attack Odd Eyes Absolute Dragon with White Queen!"
"I don't think so!" Yuya interjected, detaching an overlay unit from Odd Eyes Absolute Dragon. "By detaching an overlay unit from Absolute Dragon, I activate his effect! I can negate an attack any player's Monster declares. The attack is negated, and if I do, I can Special Summon an Odd Eyes Monster from my Hand or Graveyard."
Odd Eyes Absolute Dragon leaped into the air, dodging the beams elicited from White Queen.
"From the Graveyard, I Special Summon the detached Odd Eyes Meteorburst Dragon!"
Roget grunted out of frustration at his failure. "Very well. It seems progress will have to wait. I set two Cards and end my turn."
As it was the end of the turn, White Queen's Attack returned to normal.
White Queen: 4300-2800 Atk
"I suppose it is my turn then." Yuri said, ripping off the top Card of his Deck. "Well, Yuya. I thought about what you had said, and I must say that the Professor would not approve. However, I am not chained by his beliefs and orders. Therefore, just this once, we will work together. Now, I start my turn by activating the Trap Card Predator Plants Reborn! With this, I can Special Summon a Predator Plants Monster in my Graveyard. Appear, Predator Plants Sundew Kingii!"
Upon Yuri's declaration, Sundew Kingii appeared out of a purple portal next to Chimerafflesia.
Yuri held out his hand to his newly revived Monster. "I activate the effect of Sundew Kingii. I fuse Chimerafflesia and Sundew Kingii! Two beautiful flowers with an insect-alluring fragrance! Now become one, and from the hell beneath your petals, give birth to a new terror! Fusion Summon! Appear! Poisonous dragon with hungry fangs. Level 8! Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!"
Starve Venom: Level 8, 2800 Atk, 2000 Def
"Starve Venom Fusion Dragon's effect will now activate! If this Card was Fusion Summoned using only Monsters on the Field, then I can have this Card gain Attack equal to the Attack of all other Special Summoned Monsters my opponent currently controls until the end of the turn." Yuri explained as the eyes of his ace Monster glowed with a bright green hue.
There were three other Special Summoned Monsters that Yuya and Roget controlled. The total Attack between these three Monsters went up to 8100.
Starve Venom: 2800-10900 Atk
Both Yuya and Roget gasped as they repeated the new Attack of Yuri's ace.
To think that his Monster could get this strong…Yuya thought to himself with a gulp.
Just how strong was Yuri?
"Battle! Starve Venom Fusion Dragon, attack and destroy Chess Master: White Queen! Starving Toxic Blast!" Starve Venom opened one of his three mouths. The dragon then released a toxic-like substance towards White Queen.
"Did you really think it was that easy?" Roget questioned as he revealed one of his set Cards. "I activate the Trap Card Royal Guard. When a Chess Master Monster is targeted for attack, I can Special Summon a Chess Servant Monster from my Graveyard and redirect the attack to the Special Summoned Monster."
From the Graveyard, Roget Special Summoned another copy of Chess Servant: White Pawn. The newly revived Monster appeared in front of White Queen. The pawn was enveloped and destroyed by Starve Venom's attack.
"You managed to escape by a hair. Unfortunately for you, you are only delaying the inevitable." Yuri stated as he slid a Card into his Duel Disk. "I set this Card and end my turn. At this moment, Starve Venom's effect ends, and his Attack returns to normal."
Starve Venom: 10900-2800 Atk
"My turn, draw! I reset the Pendulum Scale using the already set Scale 2 Entermate Dag Daggerman and the Scale 8 Timegazer Magician! Pendulum Summon!" Yuya declared as three beams of light flew out from above. Coming out onto the Field from Yuya's Hand and Extra Deck was Entermate Whip Viper, Entermate Drumming Kong, and Entermate Pendulum Sorcerer. "Once again, I activate the effect of Pendulum Sorcerer! I destroy this Card and Entermate Dag Daggerman. I choose to add both Entermate Trump Witch and Entermate Trap Mimic! Now, I activate the effect of Whip Viper to flip the Attack and Defense of White Queen."
"I will not let you!" Roget shouted as he revealed his final facedown Card. "Continuous Trap, activate! Royal Judgement! Once per turn, when I control a Chess Master Monster, I can negate the activation of a Monster's effect. So, my White Queen is not affected!"
Whip Viper was highlighted gray, signaling the negation of his effect.
"You cannot stop this! Battle! Go, Odd Eyes Absolute Dragon, attack Chess Master: White Queen!" Yuya declared as he motioned towards Drumming Kong. "I now activate Drumming Kong's effect to give Absolute Dragon an extra 600 Attack!"
Absolute Dragon: 2800-3400 Atk
Roget responded by removing a Card from his Graveyard. "I activate the Grave effect of Royal Guard. By banishing this Card from the Graveyard, I can prevent the destruction of my Monster!"
Absolute Dragon smacked White Queen with his tail. The chess piece shuddered from the attack but stood firm regardless. Particles from White Queen rained down on Roget, causing him to let out a grunt of pain.
Roget: 2000-1400 LP
"I end my turn." Yuya spoke through gritted teeth as the effect of Drumming Kong ended.
Absolute Dragon: 3400-2800 Atk
"It's my turn." Roget announced. "Draw! I activate the Magic Card Royal Affair, because what is the queen without the king? When I control Chess Master: White Queen, I can Special Summon Chess Master: White King from my Hand or Deck. Rise, my king!"
From the ground, a humongous white king chess piece sprouted to the Field
White King: Level 8, 3000 Atk, 2500 Def
"The leadership of the king guides all! When Chess Servant: White King is on the Field, all Chess Monsters except White King gain 500 Attack."
White Queen: 2800-3300 Atk
"Battle!" Roget declared. "Chess Master: White Queen can attack all other Monsters at least once. Now go, my queen! Bring down judgement upon Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!"
Yuri motioned towards one of his set Cards, revealing it to be a Trap Card. "I activate the Trap Card Predator Germination! I choose to activate only its first effect. When a Dark Monster I control is targeted for an attack by an opponent's Monster, that Monster cannot be destroyed by that battle and the attacking Monster is destroyed."
White Queen released four beams from its crown. Each beam locked onto Yuri's dragon. The beams crashed into Starve Venom, causing the dragon to cry out in pain.
Yuri: 4000-3500 LP
"Now, you will pay the price for blindlessly attacking me. Say goodbye to your White Queen!"
Roget narrowed his eyes as he once again spoke. "As long as White King is on the Field, all other Chess Monsters are unaffected by Card effects. Nice try, Yuri-san, but my Queen continues to live on. Now then, White Queen, attack Entermate Drumming Kong!"
Once again, White Queen released four beams. This time, towards Drumming Kong.
"Once more, I detach another overlay unit from Absolute Dragon to negate the attack."
"Forgive me, Sakaki Yuya, but I cannot allow you to do that. Once again, I activate the effect of the Continuous Trap Royal Judgement to negate the activation of Absolute Dragon's effect."
"Then I will use Drumming Kong's effect!" Yuya countered as Drumming Kong gave himself 600 Attack.
Drumming Kong: 1600-2200 Atk
White Queen struck Drumming Kong, destroying the Monster. Yuya cried out in pain as he was thrown back by the ensuing shockwaves.
Yuya: 3500-2400 LP
Roget let out a malicious grin as he directed his attention to Yuya's other Monsters. "Now, my queen, attack Odd Eyes Absolute Dragon!"
"I activate my Trap Card! It's called Entermate Signal. I get to draw a Card from my Deck. If it's a Monster, then the attack is negated!"
"It's up to the luck of the draw, huh?" Yuri commented to himself. "How ballsy."
Mom...Yuzu...everyone...be with me. Yuya thought as he shot his eyes open.
"Draw!" Yuya glanced at the drawn Card and widened his eyes with joy.
Alright!
"I drew Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, a Monster."
Odd Eyes Absolute Dragon proceeded to jump into the air, avoiding destruction by a hair.
"It matters not." Roget said. "You cannot sage your other Monsters! White Queen, attack Odd Eyes Meteorburst Dragon!"
Yuya groaned as the next thing he knew smoke was clouding his vision from his destroyed Synchro Monster.
Yuya: 2400-1600 LP
"This is the end!" Roget bellowed, motioning for his Monster to attack Entermate Whip Viper.
"You won't take me down!" Yuya retorted, holding up one of the Cards in his Hand. "I activate the effect of Entermate Barrier Balloon Tapir! By discarding this Card from my Hand, I can reduce the next damage a player would take this turn to 0."
White Queen's attack rammed into Whip Viper, incinerating the snake. Yuya squinted as smoke once again filled his view.
Roget closed his eyes, a look of frustration on his face. "You lucked out. Fortunately for you, Chess Master: White King cannot attack when there is another Chess Monster on my Field. With this, I end my turn."
"Now, it's my turn. Draw! From my Hand, I activate the Equip Magic Predator Power." Yuri stated as he slid his drawn Card into the Duel Disk. "I equip this to a Dark Monster I control. The equipped Monster gains 500 Attack. Of course, I equip this Card to Starve Venom Fusion Dragon."
Starve Venom: 2800-3300 Atk
"Now, I shall open my last set Card since I control a Dragon-Type Monster." Said Card was flipped over, revealing a Continuous Trap called Dragonvine. "I can target a Dragon-Type Monster my opponent controls with the highest level and take control of it. Since Absolute Dragon is the only Dragon-Type Monster on the Field, I automatically take control of him."
Absolute Dragon disappeared from Yuya's Field, reappearing next to Starve Venom.
"The end is coming for you, Roget. Battle!" Yuri waved towards Roget. "Starve Venom Fusion Dragon, attack Chess Master: White King!"
"I am sorry to break it to you, but when there is another Chess Monster on the Field, White King cannot be attacked." Roget interjected Yuri's declaration.
"Is that so?" Yuri's face scrunched up out of annoyance. Eventually, he merely released a sigh. "I guess there is nothing else to do. I end my turn. Well then, I hope you can manage with what you have left, my new friend."
"It's my turn!" Yuya announced, placing a hand on top of his Deck. "Draw!"
Yuya eyed the Card he drew…
Stargazer Magician.
This could work…
Yuya widened his eyes as he felt a small pang running through his chest. He looked over to Yuri and saw him clutching the same area he was feeling pain from.
Our dragons...are reacting.
Yuya glanced to his Extra Deck and saw a light glowing out of it. Suddenly, he saw a vision.
Paths…
Circuits…
Multiple moves...multiple outcomes…
All with one appropriate result.
The combined roar of their aces...in unison…
In harmony…
Alright. I'll bring you out right now then! Yuya narrowed his eyes as he set the Pendulum Scale with Stargazer Magician, completing the Scales.
"Pendulum Summon! Appear, my Monsters! From the Extra Deck, Entermate Pendulum Sorcerer! And from the Hand, Entermate Trap Mimic, and the dragon with dual-colored eyes, Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya shouted as his ace Monster roared, glad to be back with his owner.
Trap Mimic: Level 2, 400 Atk, 200 Def
Odd Eyes: Level 7, 2500 Atk, 2000 Def
"When Trap Mimic is Special Summoned, I can target a face-up Continuous Trap my opponent controls and destroy it! I destroy Dragonvine!" As he spoke, Yuri's Trap disappeared from the Field, and Absolute Dragon returned to Yuya's side. "Now, I can put Trap Mimic in the Magic and Trap Card Zone with the same effects as the destroyed Card. And with this effect, I'll transfer Starve Venom to my Field."
Like with Absolute Dragon, Starve Venom disappeared from Yuri's Field, reappearing on Yuya's.
The owner of Starve Venom raised his eyes with interest, yet his eyes held a slightly possessive lust in then, as if he didn't want Starve Venom to be taken away.
"Now, I'll use the effect of Pendulum Sorcerer again! This time, I'll destroy only Stargazer Magician, and I'll add Entermate Turn Toad to my Hand." Yuya said as he added said Monster to his Hand before placing one of the other Cards in his Hand into the Pendulum Zone. "I'll now set Entermate Trump Witch into the Pendulum Scale! Next, I'll use Trump Witch's Pendulum effect. During the Main Phase or Battle Phase, I can Fusion Summon a Monster using Monsters on my Field as Materials. I'll fuse both Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!"
"What?" Roget gasped out of shock. "You're fusing the two dragons?"
Even Yuri couldn't hide his shock as his jaw hung open in awe as the two Monsters swirled together.
"Dragon with dual colored eyes! Become one with the poisonous dragon. Be the power that leads to supremacy! Fusion Summon! Appear! Level 10! Dragon with gem-like eyes of kindness! Supreme King Violet Dragon - Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon!"
A violet-colored dragon with white wings and horns and green orbs along his body appeared to the Field with a majestic roar.
Odd Eyes Venom: Level 10, 3300 Atk, 2500 Def
"Odd Eyes...Venom Dragon…" Like Yuri, Roget's jaw hung open as he looked over the dragon with a stunned expression.
This is…Yuri thought to himself as he watched the new Monster.
Yuri's dragon...it's been purified. Yuya thought to himself as he took in the bright colors shining off of the dragon. The dragon glanced down at him, giving a look. No words needed to be said for the message to be conveyed.
"Very well. I will make good use of this gift!" Yuya declared as he held up his hand. "I activate the effect of Odd Eyes Venom Dragon! If this Card was a Fusion Summoned using only Monsters on the Field, this Card will gain Attack equal to the combined Attack of all Monsters my opponent controls until the end of the turn."
The combined Attack of Roget's Monsters was 6300. Therefore, Odd Eyes Venom Dragon's Attack was increased by 6300.
Odd Eyes Venom: 3300-9900 Atk
"9900 Attack?!" Roget gaped.
"It's over, Roget!" Yuya exclaimed, thrusting his fist forward. "Odd Eyes Venom Dragon, attack Chess Master: White Queen!"
"What?! No! You cannot do this! Th-This is treason!" Roget shouted as Odd Eyes Venom Dragon charged, a petal-like energy radiating off of his body.
"You are not the King!" Yuri spoke up with a smirk. "You never were. So now, you will bow down to the true King of this world. No...of all the worlds!"
Odd Eyes Venom Dragon rammed into White Queen, destroying the Monster. Roget screamed as he was thrown back by the ensuing shockwaves.
Roget: 1200-0 LP
Roget crashed into the wall behind him. He stumbled to his feet with a stagger.
"I...lost." Roget mumbled under his breath, moving his now messy hair out of his face. "I, the King, was beaten?"
"Get over yourself, Roget." Yuri spoke as he slowly walked over to the ex-Academia member. "You never amounted to anything. You were never significant. And you definitely aren't now. All you are is a piece of fodder just taking up space."
Roget widened his eyes so much at that moment that they looked like they were going to fall out. He was already furious that he had lost so easily, and now he was being taunted and treated like dirt.
Is...this how it ends? Roget silently wondered as he glared at the victors.
Yuri held up his arm, holding a finger, aimed ready to Card Roget.
"Wait, Yuri! Don't do it!" Yuya shouted.
"Sorry, Yuya. This is how it has to be." Yuri apologized.
He obviously wasn't sorry. This was business, and that's all there was to it.
"Goodbye, Roget."
BOOM!
"What?!" Yuri mumbled as he turned to the sound of the loud explosion, seeing smoke at one of the entrances to the room. Out of smoke walked a heavily damaged Sergey Volkov...with a prisoner in hand.
The identity of the prisoner was seen with the shining of a pink light at that moment.
"Y-Yuzu!" Yuya bellowed at the sight of his unconscious friend. He was so caught up in Yuzu's condition that he didn't notice Yuri disappearing from the room completely.
"Roget-sama." Sergey spoke with a slurred voice. "I...have returned."
Roget looked up at his loyal servant in awe, taking into account the person that he had with him.
He did it…
He captured one of the needed girls…
Perfect.
His once terrified expression was replaced with a look as if he had won the lottery.
"Very good, Sergey. Come with me, now! We must leave for Fusion!" Roget shouted as he ran out of the room with Sergey following, throwing Yuya to the ground I'm the process in order to stop him from following them.
Yuzu...Yuya thought as he looked from the ground, seeing Roget and Sergey's retreating figures.
"I…need to contact the others." Yuya sat up, texting Tsukikage through his Duel Disk. Slowly rising to his feet, he looked to where Roget and Sergey went. He needed to save her. He could not be separated from her again.
Never again…
Just you wait, Yuzu. I'll come for you!

Hello, everyone! Hope you all are having a nice day. Fortunately, I managed to get a chapter out earlier than before. I was planning to release it a couple of days ago but the days flew by and by the time I started working on this chapter, I hadn't realized that it had been 10 days since I had last updated.
Right now, we only have one chapter left in the Synchro Dimension. After that, we're going to start with the Xyz Dimension.
Next chapter will hold the final Duel of the arc. Crow will get one time to shine as he and Jack are going to be taking on Sergey and Roget next chapter.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Take care, goodbye!
