Episode 4: Yuya and Odd-Eyes
At the Dimension Cinema, everyone was waiting for the next episode, until Oragonking made an announcement.
Oragonking: Everyone! I have more guests coming here!
Yuya: More guests? I wonder who they are?
The guests then appeared, and the UTS members immediately recognized them.
Yuhi: Tell Kawai!?
Tell Kawai: I'm so parched...
Yuhi recognized the Alien Kappa that stole his Earthdamar.
Yudias: Chupataro?
Chupataro: Chupa?
A Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan ultra fan. He's a Chupacabra-like Alien that's holding a Meeeg-chan doll in his arms.
Yuamu: Yuga Goha, Rovian, Menjaburo Omori, and Fisher!
Romin was surprised to see Rovian.
Romin: Huh!? That girl has the same face as me!
Rovian was surprised too and so was Yuna as she looked at the two Kirishima's.
The Goha Siblings were also surprised to learn that the girl is a Goha.
Yujin: That girl as a Goha!?
Yuro: How can that be?
Oragonking: Alright! Time to start the show!
Looks like their questions will have to wait.
-Training Room, LID, Paradise City-
At LID Headquarters, a test was about to be conducted in one of the Training Rooms.
Standing there in the middle was a young boy older than Ryuga, with short light brown and blonde hair, styled in layers, and grayish blue eyes. He's wearing a Paradise Prep School uniform, with his LID badge pinned to the collar.
Yuhi: Who is that?
Oragonking: The wannabe rival of Yuya Sakaki, since he was defeated by him.
The boy's name is Sylvio Sawatari, and he's doing a test with brand new cards as Declan and Claude were watching from another room.
Sylvio: And now the moment you've all been waiting for, with the Scale 3 Yosenju Shinchu L and Scale 5 Yosenju Shinchu R I set the Pendulum Scale!
Sylvio put the cards on the Pendulum Zone as the words Pendulum appeared on his Duel Disk. Within 2 pillars of light rose 2 Torii Gate Monsters each having the face of an Oni on them. Yosenju Shinchu L looks like the left half of a Torii Gate and has Monster carvings on it, and the mask is of a blue sad Oni. The other Yosenju is similar to the other but is the right half of a Torii Gate and has a red angry Oni scale number appeared underneath them. 3 for Yosenju Shinchu L and 5 for Yosenju Shinchu R.
Sylvio: Since I have a Yosenju Monster in my other Pendulum Zone, Yosenju Shinchu R Pendulum ability activates! Its scale automatically raises to 11!
The number beneath Yosenju Shinchu R increased to 11.
Yudias: He has Pendulum cards too?
Oragonking: Yes. LID is currently making their own Pendulum Monsters.
Silvio: Now I can summon Monsters between Level 4 to 10! I Pendulum Summon!
A portal appeared between the 2 Pendulum Monsters, and a green tornado suddenly came out of it.
Silvio: Now behold! A beast born from the howls of the winds! A creature composed of chaos and cruelty! Mayosenju Daibak!
Appearing from the winds was the shadow of a large quadruped Monster as it roared along with the winds.
Mayosenju Daibak: (Roar)...!
Yuya: They succeeded in performing their own Pendulum Summon.
Oragonking: There are still a few tests they need to do though.
The operators in the other room were checking the energy readings of Sylvio's Pendulum Summon.
Male Operator: Energy levels are currentlt stable, sir.
Female Operator: There are a few regularities with the power balances. There are still a few risks.
Declan calmly listened to all of this.
Declan: I see. So the cards are still unstable. Compared to my D/D/D cards they need more work. No matter, I'm certain they'll be ready for the Arc League.
-Paradise City-
Meanwhile, Ryuga was walking around the City, heading in a certain direction that he hadn't told his Dragons yet. Those Dragons then appeared as they looked at Ryuga, seeing the concentrated look on his face as he was deep in thought.
Blue-Eyes: Ryuga, you've been awfully quiet since this morning. Is something the matter?
Ryuga: Well…
Just before Ryuga said what's on his mind, Red-Eyes butted in.
Red-Eyes: Maybe he was thinking about his girl…
A sudden chill felt through Red-Eyes' spine as he turned to his left and saw Blue-Eyes furiously glaring at him with a blue aura flaring around her.
Blue-Eyes: His what?
Red-Eyes was sweating as he tried to come up with something before Blue-Eyes beat him up again.
Red-Eyes: Hissss… targeted Duelist, yes! Maybe he's thinking about Yuya Sakaki!
Blue-Eyes gave Red-Eyes a "really" look at him.
Ryuga: Actually, that's what I was thinking about.
Now that surprised the 2 Dragons.
Blue/Red-Eyes: Really?!
Luke: Phew! He's saved!
Luke was glad Red-Eyes didn't get another beating of the terrifying Blue-Eyes.
White Night: What is it about Yuya Sakaki that makes you so lost in thought?
Ryuga looked at the road ahead as he answered his Dragons.
Ryuga: You see, I know of the surname Sakaki, he must be the son of the Dueltainer Yusho Sakaki.
Oragonking: And here you will learn more of Yusho, the famous Dueltainer. As well as Action Duels.
Yuya was on the edge of his seat as he really wanted to know about Yusho and Action Duels as well.
The Dragons were intrigued when they heard that.
Blue-Eyes: Who is Yusho?
Ryuga: He's a famous Duelist who was a champion in the Arc League. And that 's not all.
Ryuga started to remember all the things about Yusho.
Ryuga: He's a Dueltainer where he and his Monsters razzle and dazzle not only the audience, but also their opponents, both Duelists and Monsters.
He recalled Yusho hanging on one of the rings of his Monster, Performapal Sky Magician.
He's a white dressed Monster whose lower blue and white body is Merman-like with a spear tip for fin. Wrapped around in the middle is a light blue waist scarf that goes around his lower body. On his chest is a dark blue symbol of a spade, and in the center is a red round gem in a golden ring. Beneath it is a red heart-shaped gem as well. His face is blue and has red eyes and doesn't have a mouth. Behind his head is red long hair that goes upwards and a white fedora with dark blue diamonds shapes that rings around. His cape is white with purple on the inside and is positioned like wings. He wears blue gloves that cover his forearms, and in each hand he's holding a large golden ring that's connected to another ring which ends up being connected with the other.
Yusho was holding on to one of the rings as he and his Monster flew above the excited crowd.
Now that shocked the audience, seeing Yusho flying around with his Monster.
Romin: No way! Is he flying with his Monster!?
Now that shocked the audience, seeing Yusho flying around with his Monster.
Oragonking: It's all thanks to the Ark System. It gives Monsters mass and allows them to physically interact with our world. That's how Action Duels are born. Very soon you're gonna see how awesome they are.
Ryuga: It is because of Yusho that Action Duel has taken the world by storm, and everyone aspired to Duel just like him. Fighting and having fun with their Monsters.
Luka: Fighting and having fun alongside their Monsters!? Man, I can't wait to see it!
Currently, Yuhi was speaking with his friends.
Yuhi: You know, this kinda makes me think how my Earthdamar made Meeeg-chan real.
His friends nodded at him as they remember that incident.
Just like every Duelist, Ryuga also wanted to Duel just like Yusho, fighting together alongside his Monsters like people and not divided by a simply advanced hologram.
Ryuga: But then… 3 years ago, Yusho Sakaki suddenly disappeared during an important Duel.
Now that made the audience gasp.
Yuya: Huh? He disappeared?
He remembered seeing it on TV how Yusho didn't show up and the crowd and fans became upset.
Ryuga: He was supposed to Duel a guy called the Sledgehammer in order to defend his title, but since he didn't appear, the people assumed he ran away.
He then recalled seeing a boy his age appearing on screen, saying he'll face the Sledgehammer in his Dad's place.
Yuro: Poor kid.
Even the Goha Siblings feel sorry for him.
Ryuga: And he did since he managed to defeat the Sledgehammer thanks to him being able to Pendulum Summon for the first.
The Dragons were silent as they were fascinated by that story.
Bahamut: That boy must have gone through a lot if the people criticized his Father after everything he did.
Ryuga: You don't know the half of it! When Yusho disappeared, the true ways of Dueling went with him, and that's when people started to abuse Dueling, causing conflict everywhere. But if this Yuya dreams of becoming a Dueltainer just like his Father, it will bring the true ways of Dueling back to the world.
Gavin: Man. It's really that bad, huh?
Yuya: I do hope they do bring the true way of Dueling back.
The others agreed with him.
The Dragons were touched by this.
Blue-Eyes: Ryuga… we'll do everything in our power to assist you in your goal.
Red-Eyes: Yeah! If that will take to turn this rotten way of Dueling back upside down!
Ryuga smiled at his 2 Dragons supporting him. Bahamut nodded as well, and even when White Night didn't officially join his deck, she's kinda curious where Ryuga's path will go.
Ryuga: Thanks, guys. But I also want to be a Dueling Legend, just like Yusho in his own right. That's another reason why I'm dueling to be the very best!
Luke: Just like me!
Romin: Yeah. But he's better.
Luke: What's that supposed to mean?
Romin just gave Luke a sly smirk.
Red-Eyes laughed at that.
Red-Eyes: Now that's more like it! Just because you're going to help others doesn't mean you should forget your own goals!
Blue-Eyes rolled her eyes at that while Bahamut smiled with his arms crossed.
Ryuga then stopped walking and the other Dragons noticed it.
Ryuga: Well. We're here.
Ryuga was looking up, so the Dragons looked up as well, and their eyes(except White Night) widened at what they saw.
Bahamut: This place is…
Standing in front of them was the largest building in all of Paradise City, with the very top being engraved with big letters.
The Dragons know of this place since it even reached the Spirit World, because this is the place where the very best Duelists come to study.
Bahamut: The Leo Institute of Dueling!
Yuhi: Why is he going to that building?
Yuamu: From my guess, to finally find information about Yuya.
-Computer Room, LID, Paradise City-
Ryuga purchased one of the computers that visitors can loan as his Dragons watched him searching for something on it.
Ryuga: Normally I would have done this sooner, but ever since Red-Eyes pushed me to buy expensive things, it took me a while to earn enough money for this.
Blue-Eyes and Bahamut gave Red-Eyes the look that made the Black Dragon shrink, while White Night understood something.
White Night: So that's why you competed in that underground tournament.
She remembered how Ryuga entered an underground tournament to get money and easily defeated them using only Red-Eyes and Blue-Eyes, winning the whole thing.
Ryuga: I didn't like using Dueling to earn money, at least not like that. I blame Red-Eyes for this!
Now everyone were glaring down at the Black Dragon, who tried his best to defend himself.
Red-Eyes: Oh come on! Like I said, I did it for his own good!
That only made all the Dragons growled at him as they released an intense furious aura that made Red-Eyes shut up.
Luke: I'm starting to feel sorry for that guy.
Gavin: Not surprising since we do the same thing to you.
Romin: Like when you ate what once was the last bowl of ramen.
Ryuga: We can search for Yuya Sakaki here. I just found a video of where he first Pendulum Summon during his match against the Sledgehammer.
He enlarged and paused the video before putting on his headphones.
Blue-Eyes: How are we going to hear the video if only you can?
Bahamut: Don't worry. Our link will allow us to hear what he's hearing.
With that, Ryuga started the video as the Dragons huddled closer to Ryuga to watch.
-Duel Stadium, Paradise City-
At the Duel Stadium, the place was crowded as everybody was eager to see the exhibition match. Fans were excited and Cheerleaders were cheering.
The Dragons noticed the size of the black floored field, where any Human standing there would be like Ants in their eyes.
Red-Eyes: That field is far too big, don't you think?
Neil: He's right. It would be difficult to see the Duel from that distance.
Roa: It would make a good stage for a concert though.
Ryuga: Once you'll see the Action Field, you'll understand why.
At that moment the commentator started to speak.
He's a skinny man with a black mustache, wears a pink, yellow, and black jacket and a red ribbon tie. He has straight hair and pink and orange glasses. As his namesake, Nico Smiley has a big smile on his face.
Nico: You fans have been clamoring for this Duel and now it's finally happening!
All the fans cheered as they were all eager to see an incredible Duel!
Nico: 3 years ago, the famous Dueltainer, Yusho Sakaki, failed to defend his title against The Sledgehammer. Now Sakaki's own son will try to erase that disgrace!
The crowd cheered again.
Bahamut: Looks like we're finally going to see the Duelist that can Pendulum Summon.
Nico: Now let's get this grudge match on the way! Here goes! Time to activate the field, Castle of Chaos!
Arc System: AUGMENTED COMBAT REALITY SYSTEM: ENERGIZED. GENERATING ACTION FIELD.
Beneath the field of the stadium, a giant machine activated that released multiple streams of light that brightened the black field in white light. And then… a forest rose from the light, including a ruined Castle.
Nico: I'll tell you, people! This Arc technology blows my mind! The field it's generating is so real that you can actually climb the Castle walls or toss your Mother-in-Law in the dungeon!
Red-Eyes, Blue-Eyes, and even White Night were slacked jawed when they saw a literal land and ruins appear, even Bahamut was surprised at that.
Red-Eyes: Is this for real!?
Blue-Eyes: How did you Humans do this!?
Ryuga: I heard it's called the Ark System, which allows both the field and Monsters to materialize in solid form. From objects to cold water to plant life.
The Dragons were impressed at this, even White Night.
The audience was also impressed at the information.
Neil: That's impressive! So this is the highest evolution of Dueling!
Oragonking: Wait till you see what's next.
Nico then starts to present the Duelists.
Nico: It's him… Guys and girls, presenting Leo Institute top Action Duelist and reigning World Champion! He's the biggest, baddest bruiser ever to pick up a Deck, The Sledgehammer!
The Sledgehammer stepped in as he made his presence on top of the castle tower.
To make it simple, the Sledgehammer looks like a hardened muscled guy that came from a post-apocalyptic world, his most notable trait the red markings around his eyes, long purple hair that has 3 large hair spikes on top.
The Sledgehammer let out a roar for everyone to hear.
The Sledgehammer: HHAAAAAA!
Blue-Eyes wasn't impressed by him.
Blue-Eyes: Wow… That Human clearly shows he has brawn for brains.
Romin and Rovian agreed with Blue-Eyes as they thought the same thing.
Nico: His challenger is a kid with a mission, everybody give it up for Yuya Sakaki!
But even as he called out his name, Yuya Sakaki didn't appear.
Nico: Kid, that's your cue!
Red-Eyes: The kid didn't appear!? What a let down!
Bahamut: You forget that Yuya defeated the Sledgehammer with his first Pendulum Summon, so he will appear.
Yudias: Why is he taking his time to appear?
The Sledgehammer: I was hoping if I challenge the kid, his Father would show up for sure!
Manabu: So the real reason for him challenging Yuya was so he could flush out his Father?
Nyandestar: Of course, that obviously wouldn't work.
What the Sledgehammer didn't know was that a Clown suddenly showed up behind him, and started making funny faces at his back.
The audience sure didn't expect that.
Yuhi: Where did that Clown come from…?
The Sledgehammer: I must defeat Yusho Sakaki in a one on one Duel to prove I am deserving to be the true Champion!
He continued talking while the Clown was still doing funny faces behind his back.
The Dragons and Ryuga sweatdropped at the funny sight going in behind the Sledgehammer.
Red-Eyes: Is this for real…?
White Night: Maybe the Sledgehammer isn't as scary as they say if a Clown can mock behind his back.
Ryuga looked closer at the Clown's face and then he realized something.
Ryuga: Could it be…?
Yuya had the same thought as he knew who was under that Clown mask. Luke was laughing at that along with the crowd.
The crowd were laughing at the funny show which the Sledgehammer now noticed. They all then try to tell him about the Clown.
Male Fan: Sledgehammer, behind you!
Female Fan: Turn around!
The Sledgehammer: What's wrong?
The Sledgehammer then turned around, and saw the Clown doing funny faces at his face, which surprised him.
The Sledgehammer: Heh?!
The Clown stopped making funny faces as he's now facing face to face with the Champion.
The Sledgehammer: Wait, when did the Circus come to town?
?: It didn't. I'm your opponent.
The Sledgehammer instantly knew what he meant by that, and already figured out who he was.
The Sledgehammer: Do not tell you're the son of Yusho?
That surprised the audience.
Yuhi: That Clown was Yuya all along!?
The Clown, now known as Yuya, took off his wig and Clown face, to reveal his face to the Champion and the world.
Ryuga: That 's Yuya Sakaki, the son of Yusho.
Red-Eyes: And he came… dressed as a Clown…
Blue-Eyes: Maybe… he was trying to be funny?
Everyone became quiet as they continued watching the video.
Yuya: Yup! The one and only! Well? You're getting ready to get this show on the road? Or should I say on the Castle!
Yuya then activated his red Duel Disk that released a yellow energy blade.
Yuya: Let's see if you're as nasty as you smell!
Oragonking: I do have to say; that was a good one!
The Sledgehammer: For such a little Clown you have a big mouth!
The Sledgehammer activated his black Duel Disk that formed a purple blade.
The Sledgehammer: You wouldn't be so insolent once The Sledgehammer squashes you!
Yuya wasn't very worried about that.
Nico: It looks like sparks are flying and they haven't even started Dueling yet! Okay, Duelists! Get your 5 cards in hand and get set to battle!
The two Duelists did just that as they were more than ready.
Nico: Our Duelists and their Decks are primed for an epic showdown like nothing you've ever seen before! As we kick off this contest, the whirlwind action will leave you breathless! It will be the Duel to end all Duels! Only the toughest Duelist will survive this face off. Are you ready!
Yuya/The Sledgehammer: Let's Duel!
Nico snapped his fingers, and that caused a see through yellow energy sphere with hundreds of glowing cards in it to burst and caused the cards to spread around the field.
ACTION CARDS, DISPERSED
Red-Eyes: What are those cards for?
Ryuga: They're part of the Action Duel. You'll see what they do.
They went back to watch the start of the Duel.
Hearing that the audience are more eager to see their first Action Duel.
The Sledgehammer: Listen carefully, Clown boy. I cannot wait to pummel you out of those pantaloons. Let's get this battle started!
Yuya: Alright! Showtime!
Yuya then started to twirl around.
Yuya: Welcome to the Yuya Spectacular!
Yuya then jumped to stand on the ledge of the Castle, where a sliding rope also stood there.
Yuya: For my first move, I'm gonna make a spectacular getaway!
Yuya grabbed the rope and started sliding down away from the Castle.
Gavin: Incredible! I know that the system gives them mass, but it's still incredible!
The Sledgehammer: What?!
Even the Dragons are surprised too.
Red-Eyes: I agree! What!?
Yuya: And to help me make my escape I'll summon Performapal Hip Hippo!
Yuya summoned his first Monster. As his namesake he's a pink Hippo from the Circus, wearing a dark pink tuxedo with a large orange bow tie with yellow polka dots, and a black top hat tied with a red ribbon in it. He has a swirly tail that ends in a pink heart shape, a light blue star on his left cheek and a yellow star on his right. Between his green eyes is a blue crescent moon marking(or it's a flock of blue hair).
Hip Hippo took out his hat as he presented himself to the crowd.
Blue-Eyes: A Hippo!?
Performapal Hip Hippo
ATK 800
Level 3
Yuya's Hand: 5
Set cards: 0
Yuya landed on Hip Hippo's back and turned to address the Sledgehammer.
Yuya: Yo, Sledgehammer? Why don't you try and catch me?
Hip Hippo then started to run towards the forest as the Sledgehammer glared down at him.
Luke: Oh man! Imagine if I ride on my Dragias!
Luke imagined himself flying on Dragias' back, with a crown and a King's cape.
King Luke(Imagination): Hahahahahaa!
Red-Eyes: He's running away!?
Red-Eyes expected more of the Duelist who could Pendulum Summon, but Ryuga had an idea what Yuya was doing.
The Sledgehammer: So you want me to catch you, kid? No problem!
The Sledgehammer then drew as he made his first move.
The Sledgehammer: I activate the Spell Feast of the Wild Lv5!
The Spell card he used showed 2 Swamp Battleguard and 2 Lava Battleguard dancing around a campfire.
The Sledgehammer: This will get the crowd crazy for more, because it'll let me summon 2 battling Behemoths!
The Dragons immediately recognized the Monsters on those cards.
Blue-Eyes: Oh great…
White Night: The Tribe of brutes.
Ryuga wanted to ask the girls if they knew them, but decided to leave it for later.
The Sledgehammer: I summon Swamp Battleguard and Lava Battleguard!
Appearing in front of the Sledgehammer and in the air is an Ogre-like Monster with green skin, has black hair on his head, chest, legs and arms, wears a purple loincloth, and has 2 horns on top of his head going sideways. In his hand is a club.
Appearing next to him is a Battleguard looking similar to the green Ogre Monster but is red instead.
Swamp Battleguard
ATK 1800
Level 5
Lava Battleguard
ATK 1550
Level 5
Yudias: Both his Monsters are falling!
The Sledgehammer: I Tribute you both right away so I can summon your ruler!
Both Monsters disappeared before they reached the ground, where a pillar of light then rose out of the forest.
The Sledgehammer: No forest can hide you, no Castle can protect you! From the chief of all wild savages!
Coming out of the forest was something massive as it tipped over trees with his bare hands and crushed tree trunks with the steps of his feet.
The Sledgehammer: All hail, Battleguard King!
The Battleguard King is a giant of a Red Ogre Monster. He's wearing dark purple gladiatorial armor with a blue gem encrusted on the chest armor. A metal helmet with a red gem on it and openings for his horns, and in his hand is a large metal club that's nearly the same size as him. He let out a guttural roar as he appeared in the open.
Battleguard King: (Roars)...!
Battleguard King
ATK 3000
Level 8
Yuhi: That Monster has 3000 Attack points!
Yuamu: Monsters with that high attack are very rare!
Bahamut eyes narrowed as he recognized that Monster.
Bahamut: Battleguard King… He and his Tribe of brutes have been stirring quite some trouble in the Spirit World.
Now Ryuga understood why the Dragons showed dislike at them.
Nyandestar: Seems that even Monsters have their share of troubles.
Nico: The Sledgehammer summoned a Monster that is mean as he is! I wouldn't want to be in Yuya's Clown shoes!
Hip Hippo stopped running as he and Yuya stood face to face with Battleguard King.
The Sledgehammer: Your Father got away from me, but you wouldn't be so lucky! We will battle!
Battleguard King lifted his battle club with just one hand, aiming it at Yuya and Hip Hippo.
The Sledgehammer: Battleguard King, bash that Hippo!
But just before the attack hit, Yuya grabbed a card from the bushes.
Yuya: Sorry! But we have to get hopping! I activate my Action Spell Evasion!
The Action Spell showed an image of a man dodging a blast.
Yuya: Roll with it, Hippo!
Hip Hippo did a jumping barrel roll, and the club hit where Hippo once stood.
Blue-Eyes: Action Spell?
Ryuga: It's a spell that you can only have only one in your hand. It can help you get away from tough situations or help you overcome it.
Yuya: I see. That makes things even more interesting!
Now the Dragons are starting to get more interesting in Action Duels.
The Sledgehammer: That kid knows how to use Action Cards alright, but only to help him stay out of the action! I will force him to battle me now! Battleguard King loves nothing more than a fight, so it can attack twice in one turn!
Battleguard King lifted his battle club once more to attack again.
The Sledgehammer: Eliminate that Hippo!
Yuya started to worry as the attack came quickly.
Yuya: Ah! No! Not again!
Battleguard King: (Roars)...!
The attack hit its target, but no one could see through the smoke.
Nico: Whoa! That should wipe the smile off that Hippo's face! Battleguard King took it out in a single blow!
Red-Eyes: Well… That's it for that Hippo.
But Red-Eyes ended up being wrong as Hippo and Yuya came out of the smoke still okay.
Nico: Wait! They're okay!
The Sledgehammer: They survived?!
Yuya: Yeah, but barely! Just before Battleguard King landed his blow, I activated the Action Spell Miracle! It saved my Hippo's hide and halved the damage I took!
Yuya's LP: 2900
The Action Spell he used had a man surrounded by sparkling stars with a smile on his face.
Yuran: It seems that Action Duels are like a battle of survival, depending on the Action cards they grab.
Proprietress: Indeed, young Master!
The Sledgehammer: Whatever! Battleguard King will stomp out both of you next time!
The Sledgehammer put one card facedown and ended his turn.
The Sledgehammer's hand: 1
Set cards: 1
Yuya: My turn again! Hah!
Yuya drew and smiled at the card he has in his hand now is his Ace Monster.
Yuya: Ah yeah!
Oragonking: He drew his main Ace Monster!
Yuhi: But he only has one Monster on the field.
Hippo jumped above a few ledges before stopping, and Yuya started to address the crowd again.
Yuya: Your attention please! My next move is a real showstopper! As some of you may know, if I Tribute my Hip Hippo right now, it'll count as 2 Monsters! It's one of Hippo's favorite tricks! Go for it, buddy!
Yudias: Now he can summon his Ace!
Hippo started running again before jumping off the ledge.
Yuya: Now put your hands together and welcome… Hah!
Yuya took off his Clown costume and was now wearing his regular clothes back, right when he Tributed Hip Hippo.
Yuya: Our main attraction! One of the wonders of the Dragon World! The spectacular Odd-eyes Dragon!
Appearing from the light is Yuya's ace Monster. A medium-sized Dragon with a red eye on the left and a green eye on the right. Around the eyes and forehead was a golden plating that covered even his upper-beak, while the lower jaw is white. The neck and tail are dark purple and were lightly covered in large red armored scales. There are also some on his shoulders as well. His lower arms are also covered in red armor while his upper arms are uncovered revealing dark purple skin arms that are thin since his arms are shorter. They also have six white clawed fingers. His chest is a blue sphere that's being held by a white armor that only reveals the sphere from each side, and behind his back are two large curved spear spikes. His large legs are red and has 4 toes.
Odd-Eyes Dragon
ATK 2500
Level 7
Red-Eyes: Odd-Eyes…
Blue-Eyes: Dragon?
Red-Eyes and Blue-Eyes had never heard of such a Dragon before, while Bahamut looked at the Dragon without expressing emotion in his eyes.
Yuya: Wow! That Dragon looks interesting!
Yuya landed on his Dragon's back, grabbing his two spikes to hold on.
Yuya: What do you say we swing into action?
The Sledgehammer: I will teach you to fear me, just like your Father did!
A holographic screen appeared on the Sledgehammers Duel Disk as Yuya addressed what he said.
Yuya: My Dad wasn't scared of you!
The Sledgehammer: Oh yeah?!
Yuya: He would have beaten you easily! And I'll prove it too, by taking you down using all the moves my Dad taught me!
Bahamut: Despite his entrance, that kid does have the heart of a Duelist.
Red-Eyes had no choice but to agree with that.
Luke: Alright! Show everyone what you got!
The Sledgehammer: Hah! I see you can talk tuff kid, but your Monster packs no punch! Your Dragon cannot lay a claw on Battleguard King!
Yuya: But after I use this Spell here, it'll be a different story! Wonder Balloons!
The Spell Yuya activated summoned a colorful Box with question marks on it in front of the Battleguard King.
Odd-Eyes then started running around and Yuya started picking up Action Cards he could find and he just sent three to the Graveyard.
Nico: Well this kid has my toupees spinning! He must have a nose for Action Cards because he's finding them like nobody's beeswax!
Yuya: Okay! Wonder Balloons, go!
The box opened and released three balloons that hovered around Battleguard King.
Romin: What are those balloons for?
Gavin: They appear when Yuya sent those 3 Action Cards to the Graveyard.
Yuya: I got a balloon for each Action Card that I found and sent to my Graveyard!
Blue-Eyes: What would that card do?
Blue-Eyes was about to have her answer.
Yuya: Next I'll be sending my Spell card Wonder Balloons to the Graveyard which will cause all those other balloons to burst, and each one drops your Monster's Attack Points by a 1000 till the end of this turn.
The balloons exploded, releasing smoke that covered Battleguard King. Once the smoke cleared, Battleguard King… was completely restrained by balloons except for his head.
Yuya: Who would've believed a few balloons could be so dangerous, but they just let the air out of all your Battleguard King's Attack Points.
ATK 0
Luke: If I use that Trap Card on my sister…
He imagined his sister and her Ace Monster restrained in balloons, which made him laugh… until the angry glare of Tiger made him shut up.
Red-Eyes: Pfft! Hahahahaha!
Red-Eyes couldn't contain his laughter at seeing the fearsome savage ruler of Battleguard being completely restrained and made powerless by balloons. The other Dragons and Ryuga found this funny as well.
Nico: Unbelievable! Yuya just turned Sledgehammer's hero into a zero!
The Sledgehammer: Now I see that you've been playing games with me from the beginning! You just pretended to run away, to find as many Action cards as your feeble, fragile fingers could pick!
Yuya grabbed the pendant on his neck as he looked at it fondly.
Yuya: It was risky, but I knew the Duel would swing my way.
The crowd started cheering up for Yuya, and the boy took it all in before looking back at his opponent.
Yuya: Okay, Odd-Eyes. It's not enough for us to win this, we gotta win style!
Odd-Eyes: (Roar)...!
Odd-Eyes agreed as he started to build up power inside his blue sphere.
Yuya: Hey Sledgehammer! When Odd-Eyes dethrones your King, you take half its Attack Points as damage!
The Sledgehammer started to get worried since he's done his math.
The Sledgehammer: Huh?! Half of Battleguard King's original Attack Points equals 1500! If I lose another 2500 in damage, the total would be catastrophic!
Yuhi: No way! He's gonna defeat him in just one blast!
Yuhi as well as the others have never seen 1 hit K.O move in a Rush Duel.
Yuya: I can end this Duel in one blast! Odd-Eyes! Get set to strike! Take out Battleguard King! Spiral Flame!
Odd-Eyes released a spiral of flames that hit the restrained Battleguard King, defeating him.
Red-Eyes was shocked at the move Yuya made.
Red-Eyes: No way… That Clown and his odd Dragon defeated Battleguard King and the Champion in one hit!
Bahamut and Ryuga thought otherwise, however.
When the smoke cleared, it showed the Battleguard King, still restrained by balloons, but standing.
The Sledgehammer: Little too late! Surprise, Clown Boy!
Battleguard King: (Furios Roar)...!
Romin: How did Battleguard King survive!?
Glowing behind the Sledgehammer was the Action Card, Miracle.
The Sledgehammer: You're not the only one who had a Miracle Spell card! I was keeping this baby in hand just in case!
The Sledgehammer LP: 2750
The Dragons deflated when they saw that.
Blue-Eyes: He was so close…
Nico: Talk about staying cool on the fire! The Sledgehammer shows once again why he's the Champ!
The Sledgehammer: Fools no treat to me, boy! Just like your Father!
The Sledgehammer then started jumping down from the castle.
The Sledgehammer: You're all show and no grit! This trap is going to prove it!
While he's falling in midair, the Sledgehammer activated a Trap card, showing Lava Battleguard letting out a roar of rage while standing on a field flames.
The Sledgehammer: Since I took damage, Battleguard Rage inflates its Attack Points by 2000!
ATK 2000
Gavin: Wait… if Battleguard King now has 2000 Attack points, that would mean…
Yuga: That once Wonder Balloons Effect ends, his Monster will have 5000 Attack points.
Battleguard King started to grow a little and the balloons seemed to have trouble restraining him.
Yuya: I… end my turn.
Yuya's hand: 4
Set cards: 0
Nico: Battleguard King now burst out of those balloons! The King of Savages is stronger than ever!
Battleguard King freed himself from the balloons, now stronger than before.
Battleguard King: (Roar)...!
ATK 5000
Yuhi: I 5000 Attack Point Monster with double attack.
Yudias: If he takes both attacks he'll lose.
The Sledgehammer: Now I have the upperhand, my little friend! And I'm going to use it to crush you!
Yuya grunted as he and Odd-Eyes started searching for another Action card.
The Sledgehammer: No. You won't escape! Battleguard King! Destroy his Odd-Eyes!
The Champion's Monster began to attack Yuya's Monster once again. At that moment, Yuya noticed another Action card on the bushes.
Yuya: An Action card!
Yuya tried to reach for the Action card, but it was too late as Battleguard King's club hit Odd-Eyes back, destroying him and throwing Yuya to the ground.
Yuya LP: 400
The audience winced at that fall.
Red-Eyes: Man that has to hurt.
The Sledgehammer looked down on Yuya as he was standing on Battleguard King's hand as he carried him to his opponent.
The Sledgehammer: Because of Battleguard Rage's effect, your Dragon goes back to your hand instead of the Graveyard.
Yuya stood back up as he took Odd-Eyes back to his hand.
The Sledgehammer: Watch how a winner Duels as I wield Battleguard Magic!
The Spell card shows a Battleguard that's dressed as a Tribal Sorcerer doing some Magic Ritual.
The Sledgehammer: It will pump me back with Life Points as it deflates any chances you had of winning this Duel!
The Sledgehammer LP: 4000
Mimi: No way! He's back to when the Duel started!
Ryuga: I'll hate to admit it, but the Sledgehammer really is a powerful Duelist…
Bahamut nodded as he knew of the strength of Battleguard, which is why they're still rampaging in the Spirit World.
Yuya started to despair as the difference in their Life Points is now huge.
The Sledgehammer: Luckily for you my Battleguard King cannot attack again this turn. You survived for now. But I promise you this; you wouldn't last long!
The Sledgehammer ended his turn with a facedown.
The Sledgehammer's hand: 0
Set cards: 1
Yuhi: Boy, he got lucky.
Yuamu: But now there's now way he can defeat the Sledgehammer like this.
The Sledgehammer: It is useless. But go ahead and draw! Maybe you should pull a disappearing act, kid! After all, like Father, like son!
Yuya started to get upset at that.
Yuya: ¡No thanks! I'm staying…
However, he stopped himself as he knew there wasn't any chance for him to win now. His head lowered as his hair covered his eyes.
The Audience started to feel sorry for Yuya.
Red-Eyes: Well, that seems like it for the boy.
Ryuga: Are you sure?
Red-Eyes looked confused at that while the others understood.
White Night: Yuya managed to beat the Sledgehammer. That's what we all heard.
Red-Eyes now understood as he looked back at the screen.
Yuga also understood what White Night meant.
Yuya: Of course! This is where he first Pendulum summoned!
Yuya got back up on his feet, with a determined look in his eyes.
Yuya: It's time to swing into action!
Yuya's pendant started to swing as he made his draw.
Yuya: Okay, pendulum! You swung his way, now you'll swing my way!
The draw Yuya did made an arc of light, and his pendant then started to glow as well, and so did his cards.
Yuya: His cards are changing, just like Ryuga's!
Luke: And his Dragon is changing too!
The Dragons recognized that glow.
Blue-Eyes: That light… It's the same as with Ryuga's!
Ryuga: Yeah. But why is his Pendant glowing?
Both White Night and Bahamut continued to watch in silence.
Yuya: I'll use Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician to set the Pendulum Scale!
He put the cards on the sides of his Duel Disk as the word Pendulum appeared.
Yuya: I'm taking control of this Duel starting now!
Two pillars of lights appeared and Stargazer and Timegazer roze up as the sky lit into blue light.
Stargazer is a Magician wearing royal sorcerer clothes used for battle, his mouth is covered and has blue eyes. He's holding a staff with a white circular frame in the center.
Timegazer wears drabbed black wizard clothes and his mouth is covered and brown spiked hair.
Their Pendulum Scales appeared underneath them.
Stargazer Magician
Scale 1
Timegazer Magician
Scale 8
In the sky there was also a giant version of Yuya's pendant that's swinging around.
Ryuga became confused when he saw the giant pendant.
Ryuga: Why did that appear?
His Dragons only shrugged as they also don't understand why.
Yuya: I'm allowed to summon Monsters from Level 2 through 7 all at the same time!
The Sledgehammer: What's that kid doing?!
Yuga: Here it comes! His Pendulum Summon!
The audience were eager to see just as Yuga is.
Yuya: Swing far, Pendulum! Carve the arc of victory!
The pendant swung around like a Pendulum behind the two Magicians.
Yuya: My Monsters are ready to swing into action!
Yuya raised his hand into the sky as his pendant now circled around, generating a portal where a blue, green, and orange light came out. And appearing from those lights were three Monsters.
ATK 1700
Level 4
ATK 600
Level 2
ATK 2500
Level 7
Odd-Eyes: (Roar)...!
The first Monster was a purple Circus Snake with a black top hat wrapped in a yellow bow. Tongue sticking out and has a green and yellow star on his cheeks, and a yellow bowtie with red polka dots. On his tail is a whip handle with a pink heart on the end.
The second Monster is a light blue Circus Swordfish with bladed fins and a sword handle instead of a tailfin. He wears a red bowtie with yellow polka dots and black glasses with red polka dots. On his forehead is the tip of a sword.
And then there's Odd-Eyes.
Odd-Eyes appearance has completely changed. Not only is he larger, one is that he has 2 horns on his head that went sideways before going upwards. The spikes on his back grew larger as if they were breaking. On the right spike has 1 red orb, and on the left has 2 green orbs. He also has a new blue orb on his head. His tail and sphere also look more armored now.
Luke: His Dragon evolved as well! So awesome!
The Dragons quickly took notice of that.
Blue-Eyes: His appearance changed! Just like you, Bahamut!
Yuya climbed back up on Odd-Eyes now riding on his neck while holding on to his new horns.
Yuya: Whip Snake! It's time for you to whip into action! By activating its special ability, it can switch the Attack and Defense points of your Battleguard King!
Whip Snake started to swing his whip like a Pendulum, entrancing Battleguard King and making him lower his club to the ground and make him kneel as he lost his strength, while lowering his shocked Duelist to the ground floor.
The Sledgehammer: That Snake weakens my only Monster!
ATK 1100
Manabu: Purrpusterous! He managed to weaken him that much!?
Nyandestar: It seems his move still isn't over.
The Dragons were shocked at seeing the King of Savages so easily weakened.
Blue-Eyes: He had 5000 Attack points…
Red-Eyes: But that Snake easily turned him into a wimp!
Yuya then turned to Swordfish.
Yuya: Oh yeah! And now my Swordfish will wear him down some more!
Swordfish made copies of himself that flew towards the weakened Battleguard King and stabbed the ground around him in a circle.
Yuya: Using its special ability, my Performapal can slice and dice you King's Attack points by 600!
ATK 500
Everyone couldn't believe it. First Battleguard King was at an unstoppable 5000 Attack Points, and now he was reduced to a measly 500.
Nico: Wow! Things are looking bad for the Champ! This kid won't stop hammering the hammer!
Yuya: Now for the big finish! Get set, Odd-Eyes! Time to power up and attack!
Odd-Eyes' own eyes glowed and so did the orbs on his head and spikes.
The Sledgehammer: Your attack is about to be extinguished! I play the Trap Battleguard Howling!
The Trap showed Swamp Battleguard howling to the skies.
The Sledgehammer: Now your Odd-Eyes must retreat to your hand! But before it disappears, you would take all its Attack points as damage!
Yudias: Yuya only has 400 Lifepoints!
Yuhi: If this effect damage hits, he'll lose!
However, Yuya acted fast as he turned to Timegazer Magician.
Yuya: Timegazer Magician! You mastered the deepest secrets of space and time! Use your powers to help protect me from the past!
Yuya: Check this everybody! Timegazer Magician's Pendulum ability can rewrite history! So Sledgehammer, your Trap has been trump! Infinity Gear Reverse!
An arced blade frame came from the gauntlet on his left arm. It generated time magic that put the Sledgehammer's Trap cars back face down.
Yuran: An ability that negates Trap cards?
The Sledgehammer: I'll better move it or lose it!
The Sledgehammer noticed an Action card on the leaves of a tree and jumped to grab it. Once he did he immediately used it.
The Sledgehammer: I'm activating an Action Spell card!
Unfortunately for him, Yuya has a counter for that as well.
Yuya: We've reached the grand finale, Stargazer Magician! Let's end this Duel with a trick fans here will never forget!
Yuya: Watch in wonder as Stargazer uses his Pendulum ability! When there's a Pendulum Monster battling, Stargazer can stop Spell cards from activating! Halting Horoscope!
Using his staff, Timegazer called upon the power of the Stars and just like the Trap card, the Action Spell Evasion was set facedown.
Yuna: And now he can negate Spell cards as well!
Rovian: The Sledgehammer can no longer stop his attack.
The Sledgehammer: That move leaves me wide open!
The Sledgehammer was now starting to really worry as he ran to look for another Action Spell.
Yuya: Everything is set now, Odd-Eyes! Let's give The Sledgehammer a blazing send-off!
Odd-Eyes: (Roar)...!
Odd-Eyes ran with a roar and then jumped, his eyes glowed as fire built in his mouth.
Yuya: Spiral Flame Strike!
Odd-Eyes fired his new more powerful attack, now a spiral of dark red flames. Battleguard King then blocked the attack with his club as the Sledgehammer stood behind him.
The Sledgehammer: Nice try! But that attack couldn't even toast a marshmallow!
Yuya: Then I'll guess I'll have to turn up the heat! Since Battleguard King is a Level 5 or above Monster, Odd-Eyes' special ability deals double the damage! That's a wrap!
Yuhi: The damage he'll receive is 2000!
Yuamu: Doubling it and he'll deall 4000 points of damage!
Odd-Eyes' attack then became the more powerful and overpowered Battleguard King, destroying him and sending the Sledgehammer flying.
The Sledgehammer: AAAAH!
The Sledgehammer LP: 0
The Sledgehammer landed hard on the ground as the board announced Yuya as the victor.
The whole field started to vanish now that the Duel was over, while the crowd was silent after seeing the Champion being defeated. They then got out of their shock and started cheering for Yuya.
Everyone were surprised at seeing a single attack redicing 4000 Lifepoints to zero. This is something they have never seen before.
Ryuga stopped the video and took off his headphones now that the Duel was over. He turned around to his Dragons to ask for their opinion.
Ryuga: So? What do you think?
Bahamut: That Yuya sure has a… interesting personality.
Red-Eyes: Yeah. Dressing as a Clown and using a Circus Deck.
Blue-Eyes: But that Odd-Eyes… I've never heard of a Dragon like him before…
White Night: He must be a wanderer if we never heard of him. Or if those Performapals are hiding him.
Ryuga turned back to the computer as he began typing.
Ryuga: Now let's see which School Yuya goes to. That way we can find him.
It didn't take too long as Ryuga found it.
Ryuga: You Show Duel School.
Everyone was silent as they processed the information.
Everyone: WHAT!?
They couldn't believe it. The School Bahamut brought them was the right one all along.
Yuka: And now they know where he lives.
Yuga Goha: Now these two will finally meet.
-You Show Duel School, Paradise City-
Inside the School living room, Yuya was running around while holding popsicles, with a crying Frederick chasing after him, all while Zuzu, Allie, Tate, and Sora were watching while eating their own popsicles.
Frederick: Please, Yuya! I want some popsicles!
Yuya: First you'll have to catch me!
Frederick: Please!
Having had enough of seeing Yuya messing with the poor kid, an angry thick mark appeared on Zuzu's head.
SLAP!
In a quick motion, Zuzu slapped Yuya's head with her fan as the others looked in shock.
Zuzu: STOP MESSING WITH FREDERICK, YUYA!
Yuya: AAAAAAH!
Some of the audience felt sorry for Yuya.
