"Well since you two are ganging up on wittle ol me I'll be going first, I draw!" Yuri says his tone playful as well as jovial. "Alright alright." Yuri says looking to his hand raising his free hand to stroke his chin as if he was looking at fine art. "I play polymerization merging my Predaplant Cephalotusail and my Predaplant Byblisp. Instinctual insect and malevolent pitcher combine into a beast that spews a venomous fragrance! Fusion Summon! Level 5 Predaplant Ambulomelidas!"

"Since Predaplant Byblisp was sent to the graveyard I get to bring a Predaplant card from my deck to my hand and since Predaplant Ambulomelidas was summoned I get to bring another." Yuri explained. "That's it for me, your up bird brain turn end." Yuri says with a wink in Shuns direction.
"My move I draw!" Shun shouts. "None of us get to attack until are next turns that gives him more then enough time to set up." Shun notes in his head. "I summon Raidraptor Shull Eagle! I then activate the effect of my Raidraptor Heel Eagle when all of the monsters on my field are Raidraptors I can special summon this monster." Shun explains as two mechanical eagles both purple with black and white metallic feathers.

"I use the effect of Raidraptor- Fiend Eagle by using up one overlay unit Fiend Eagle targets a special summoned on your side of the field and deals you damage equal to its original attack points! Fiendish Fire!" Shun shouts as his monster absorbs one of its overlay units and blast a fiery aura resembling Ambulomelidas.
Yuri: 4000 - 1000 = 3000 LP
Yuri grunts from the damage. "Dealing damage without your attack phase, I can see how Sora and Dennis lost to you, oh we're going to get along swimmingly." Yuri says playfully.
"Joke around all you want me and Yuto are gonna put a stop to you and send you packing. Turn end." Shun says unease prevalent across his face.
"My turn I draw!" Yuto says sternly. "Stay calm Yuto, remind yourself of what dueling is all about." Yuto says taking repeated slow breaths.
"Something keeping you, or are you just paralyzed in fear? Yuto?" Yuri mockingly asks.
"My turn I play the Allure of Darkness this card allows me to draw two cards but I have to banish one dark monster from my hand." Yuto explains. "I summon The Phantom Knights of Torn Scales, this triggers the effect of my The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots if I have another Phantom knight monster on my field I can special summon this card." Yuto continues as a monster that resembled the top half of cracked armor and a rouge that lacked arms and glowed in a light blue ghostly aura.

"I then use the second effect of my Ambulomelidas by tributing a Predaplant monster on my field I get to destroy one of your monsters along with it. So say sayonara to Fiend Eagle." Yuri explains as Ambulomelidas uses its effect destroying Shun's Xyz monster.
"Since my Predaplant Byblisp was sent back to the graveyard I gain another Predaplant card from my deck. Now I switch my Ambulomelidas into attack mode." Yuri explains.
Predaplant Ambulomelidas atk 1000/2500 def lvl 5
"What?!" Shun blurts shocked. "Why would he put that monster in attack mode it has low attack points and I doubt it has another effect." Shun ponders in his head.
"I play Fusion Weapon I can only equip this card to a level six or lower fusion monster and when equipped that monster gain Fifteen hundred more attack points." Yuri explains slapping down his equip spell.
Ambulomelidas 1000-2500
"Now Ambulomelidas attack Yuto's Phantom knight of Break Sword." Yuri demands.
"Not so fast I activate the effect of my Break Sword by using one Overlay unit Break Sword allows me to destroy one card on my field alongside one on yours since it's my only option I destroy my Break Sword to take your monster with it." Yuto explains his Xyz monster taking its self into the graveyard dragging Ambulomelidas with it.
"Since Break Sword, was sent to the graveyard the monsters I used to Xyz summon it return one level higher." Yuto explains.

"Hmf I set two cards facedown and end my turn." Yuri says.
"My turn I draw, I summon my Raidraptor - Tribute Lanius." Shun says as a Raidraptorthat shined with blue energy flown onto his field.

"This allows me to use the effect of my Raidraptor- Strangle Lanius when I control a dark monster I can special summon this monster from my hand." Shun explains as a Raidraptor made of silver appeared on his field.
Raidraptor- Strangle Lanius atk 1600/1100 def lvl4
"Now to enact retribution end this my monsters attack him directly!" Shun shouts as his monsters fly towards Yuri.
"It won't be that easy I play my trap card Dark Seed Planter, this continues trap makes it so all attacks by dark monsters are negated, it would also make all your current dark monsters as well but that's not really necessary in your two's case." Yuri happily explains as Shun's monsters stop in their tracks.
"But all the monsters in our decks are dark monsters!" Shun blurts shock.
"That complicates things." Yuto mutters.
"My turns not done! I build the Overlay network with my two Raidraptors, avian hunter of the afterlife, seek the truth with your dark eyes, and grasp Awree with your sharp talons! Xyz Summon! Take Flight! Rank 4! Raidraptor - Force Strix!" Shun chants as a metallic avian that almost resembles an owl appeared from the Xyz vortex.

"Playing defense what was all that about enacting retribution?" Yuri asks in sickeningly sweet manner.
"Grr turn end." Shun grumbles.
"My turn I draw! Hm, I build the Overlay Network with my two level four Phantom knights. Noble paladin that rages from the depths of hell raise your blade and continue your rampage! Xyz Summon! Rank 4 The Phantom Knights of broken Berserker!" Yuto chants as a massive knight in jet black armor riddled with cracks and wielding a massive buster sword that emanated with blue spectral energy.
Phantom Knight of Broken Berserker atk 2400/2000 def rnk 4
"Oh not gonna summon your dragon?" Yuri inquired slightly disappointed. "Not like it will do you any good your dark monsters can't attack me." Yuri continued.
"I wouldn't be so confident with the effect of my Broken Berserker I use up one Overlay Unit I can once per turn destroy a card on your side of the field so Dark Seed Planter will defend you no longer." Yuto says confidently his monster absorbing an Overlay unit then firing energy from its blade destroying Yuri's trap.
"Now Broken Berserker attack Yuri directly!" Yuto shouts his monster charging Yuri.
"Heh, I activate my trap card Predaplanning I send one Predaplant from my deck to my graveyard to place a Preda counter on your monster." Yuri explains.
Broken Berserker Rnk 4-lvl 1
"But the attack still goes through." Yuto replies.
"Not if my Predaplant Heliamphorhynchus has anything to say about it, if my opponent controls a monster with a Preda counter I can special summon this monster." Yuri counters back as the plant like pterodactyl appears on his field to defend him.
Predaplant Heliamphorhynuchs atk 1200/2400 def lvl 8
Yuto grits his teeth. "Since it has the same defense points as Broken Berserker has attack points I cant destroy it, I set one card, turn end." Yuto grumbles.
"My turn I draw, Hm well this is a card you two are quite familiar with I play Polymerization! I fuse my Predaplant Heliamphorhynuchs with my Predaplant Flytrap! Alluring trap merge with the herb of great defense and create an amalgamation of true terror! Fusion Summon! Level 7 Predaplant Chimerarafflesia!" Yuri chants a monster made of multiple vines each with their own maw with rotten but sharp teeth all leading to an open bulb with thousands of razor sharp teeth.

"Now Chimerafflesia attack Yuto's Broken Berserker!" Yuri demands his monster flinging its mouth covered vines at Yuto postmortem paladin. "With Chimerafflesia's effect your monster loses one thousand attack and my monster gains one thousand." Yuri gleefully shouts his monster growing even stronger.

Broken Berserker 2400-1400
"I activate my trap card Phantom Knights' Sword! I can equip this trap to a monster on my field and it gains eight hundred more attack points!" Yuto shouts definitely his trap flipping up a small purple blade taking the place of the Xyz monsters massive sword a purple aura surrounding the Xyz monster signifying its power increase.
Broken Berserker 1400-2200
"That's still not strong enough, Chimerarafflesia continue your attack." Yuri counters back.
Yuto: 4000 - 1300 = 2700 LP
"When a monster equipped with Phantom Knights' sword would be destroyed Phantom Knights' sword will be destroyed instead." Yuto explains as the purple blade is shattered and is replaced with the xyz monster's original blade.
"Now that my battle phase is over are monsters attack return to normal." Yuri explains.
Predaplant Chimerafflesia 3500-2500
Broken Berserker 1400-2400
"And with that I set one card and end my turn. Congratulations on keeping your monster and reducing some of the damage, maybe you'll be more fun to crush than I thought Yuto." Yuri says with a sarcastic slow clap with only a hint of any genuine interest.
"Your overconfidence will be your undoing I draw!" Shun shouted slightly annoyed at being looked over by Yuri. "I activate Rank-Up-Magic Raptor's Force!" Shun shouted once more slapping down the rank up magic. "Forceful avian that looks over the afterlife with eyes of a hunter evolve and gain the bravery of a hardened soldier, Rank up Xyz change Rank 5 Raidraptor - Brave Strix!" Shun chants as his monster evolves gaining far more armor adorn with emeralds.

"Brave Strix gains one hundred attack points for each of its ranks since it's a rank five monster it gains five hundred attack points." Shun passionately explains.
Brave Strix 2000-2500
"That's still not nearly enough to get past Chimerafflesia's effect." Yuri notes an unimpressed look present on his face. "Really it's insulting that you think your overgrown chickens can defeat my lovely weeds." Yuri says overacting as if Shun's deck was a grand insult to his very honor.
"Make all the jokes you want but you will still face defeat today! I use the effect of my Brave Strix by discarding one Overlay unit I can bring one Raidraptor card from my deck to my hand I bring Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force, I then play it to rank up my Raidraptor - Brave Strix! Prideful falcon. Spread your wings, dyed in the blood of heroes and change through the path of revolution! Rank Up Change Xyz Summon Rank 6 Raidraptor- Revolution Falcon!" Shun chanted as a jet black metallic falcon with jet boosters that made it resemble a powerful crest.
Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon atk 2000/3000 def rnk 6
"Oh isn't that the monster you used to defeat Sora?" Yuri inquired seemingly not affected by the fan fair of the Xyz summon.
"Correct and it will do the very same to you! Without using an Overlay unit Revolution Falcon can destroy one monster on your side of the field and the monster destroyed you take damage equal to there attack points!" Shun shouted
"Nice attempt but you will not succeed, I use the effect of my Predaplant Byblisp in my graveyard and summon it to my field I know chain my quick play spell Flash fusion!

"Grr, turn end since the turn Flash Fusion was used is over Dragostapelia goes to the graveyard." Shun grumbled aggravated.
"Aww is someone upset? It's a shame you just don't have what it takes to beat me just like you didn't have what it took to protect your dear Si..." Yuri began his speech speeding up glee seeping in as the thoughts of infuriating Shun welled in Yuri's mind before being interrupted."
"SHUN." Yuto says sternly interrupting Yuri. "You've given me the opening to win the duel, we'll make him pay and it's thanks to you." Yuto says.
"Heh don't flatter me we're winning this together, that's how we've always done things we're soldiers." Shun says flashing a smile.
"Ugh just kiss already your bromance is revolting." Yuri groaned rolling his eyes annoyed at Yuto delaying his fun.
"My turn I draw! Broken Berserker attack Yuri directly!" Yuto demands.
"Do you ever get sick of being stopped I activate my trap card Predator Reborn return to defend my Predaplant Ambulomelidas." Yuri says his plant like dinosaur reappearing to save its master.
Predaplant Ambulomelidas atk 1000/2500 def lvl 5
Yuto sighs. "Turn end." Yuto grumbled clearly frustrated by Yuri's repeated protection.
"My turn I draw, I now activate the effect of my Ambulomelidas I can tribute your Revolution Falcon to summon a Predaplant from my deck. Appear Predaplant Darling Cobra." Yuri says destroying Shun's Falcon to bring out his plant snake.
Predaplant Darling Cobra atk 1000/1500 def lvl 3
"When Darling Cobra is special summoned I get to bring a fusion spell card from my deck." Yuri explains.
"Don't worry, we still have Broken Berserker defending us." Yuto states trying to steel his own nerves alongside Shun's.
"I wouldn't be so confident. I play Super Polymerization! This card not only allows me to conduct a fusion summon with not only my own monsters but yours as well!

Predaplant Triphyovertum atk 3000/3000 def lvl 9
"S-Super, P-Polymerization." Yuto stuttered.
"We're completely defenseless." Shun uttered a terrifying revelation dawning on him.
Yuri gains a wide sinister smirk joy overflowing him seeing his opponents in such a pathetic position. Triphyovertum! Attack chicken boy directly!" Yuri gleefully cries his three headed dragon flapping its wings blasting three magenta beams at Shun.
Shun: 4000 - 3000 = 1000 LP
"Grgth!" Shun grunts.
"Well that was an eventful turn, go on and try and top it, I set two cards. Turn end." Yuri says smugly.
"Cocky creep I'll show you. My turn! When I take damage I can special summon this monster Raidraptor- Avenge Vulture!" Shun growled definitely a more steampunk and retro Raidraptor appearing on his field.

"I then normal summon my Raidraptor- Vanishing Lanius! When this card is summoned I can bring out another Raidraptor monster from my hand I summon Raidraptor- Rudder Strix!" Shun shouted as a green Raidraptor with talon like legs and a blue Raidraptor that resembled a small plane.

"When Rudder Strix is summoned you take six hundred points of damage!" Shun yelled passionately extending his palm in Yuri's direction.
Yuri: 3000 - 600 = 2400 LP
"6-600?! Points of damage how ever will I cope." Yuri said overacting not even attempting to hide his wide amused grin. "Really? Is that it?" Yuri asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I haven't even begun." Shun said his expression stern his tone carrying an ominous amount of confidence. "I build the Overlay netword with my Raidraptors Avenge Vulture, Vanishing Lanius and Rudder Strix! Obscured falcon, raise your sharpen talons in front of adversity, spread your wings of rebellion! Xyz Summon Appear! Rank 4! Raidraptor-Rise Falcon!" Shun chanted his ace monster rising from the Xyz vortex.

"With Rise Falcons effect I discard one overlay unit and gain your monsters attack points!" Shun cried.
"Not so fast! Triphyovertum has an effect when someone would conduct a special summon once per turn I can destroy that monster." Yuri countered as Triphyovertum slings out a vine before Rise Falcon could use its effect.
"Gah! Before Rise Falcon is destroyed I play Rank-Up-Magic Revolution Force! This card allows me to rank up an Xyz monster on my field!" Shun explains. "The unseen bold falcon. Reveal your wings' unknown power here and now! Rank up Xyz Change! Appear! Rank 5 Raidraptor - Stranger Falcon!" Shun chants as a red and yellow Raidraptor takes the place of Rise Falcon.
Raidraptor- Stranger Falcon atk 2000/2000 def rnk 5
"Use Stranger Falcon's effect I destroy your Triphyovertum and you take damage equal to its attack! You're Finished!" Shun roared.
"Ha! Nice try I play Predaplant Fertilizer! With this card I tribute one Predaplant monster on my field to place a Preda counter on one of your monsters!" Yuri gleefully declares.
Raidraptor- Stranger Falcon rnk 5-lvl 1
"You saved yourself from defeat but not damage! Stranger Falcon attack Yuri directly!" Shun shouts.
"Heh when you control a monster with a Preda counter I can summon Triphyovertum in my graveyard in defense position." Yuri explains with a smirk.
Predaplant Triphyovertum atk 3000/3000 def lvl 9
"And when Triphyovertum is summoned while you monsters with Preda counters are on the field it gains there original attack points." Yuri explains.
Triphyovertum 3000-5000
"Tch, I end my turn." Shun grumbled.
"This is bad, as long as Stranger Falcon has a Preda counter we won't be able to get past Triphyovertum meaning I won't be able to do anything on my turn until either Yuri destroys Stranger Falcon or Shun tributes it out uses it for a Rank up." Yuto thought to himself. "My turn I drew I play Pot of Greed! This card allows me to draw two cards." Yuto says looking to his hand. "Shun I have a card that can get out of this situation but it puts you at risk." Yuto states looking to Shun.
Shun looked back to Yuto the worry prevalent across his features made it clear he had grappled with the same thought as Yuto. "Go for it, that's how we've always done things even if one of may fall another shall carry on there convictions." Shun says resolutely giving Yuto a nod.
"I play The Phantom Knights Of Around Burn! With this card I banish two Phantom knights in my graveyard to banish every monster on the field and the users of those monsters take eight hundred for each of there monsters that were destroyed!" Yuto explained.
Yuri: 2400 - 800 = 1600 LP
Shun: 1000 - 800 = 200 LP

The memories of his duel against Yugo flashing in his mind how there two dragons responded to one another causing there masters go berserk. "I Overlay my level four Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm and my level four Phantom Knights of Fragile Armor! Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Xyz Summon' Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Yuto chants as his black serpentine dragon rose from the Xyz vortex with crackling lighting.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon atk 2500/2000 def rnk 4
"Ive already faced your dragon when Yuya Sakaki used it let's see if you can make better use of it?" Yuri stated seemingly not scared of Yuto's ace.
"Dark Rebellion end this duel! Lightning Disobey of Rebellion!" Yuto demanded his Dragon charging purple lightning in its mandibles then dragging them against the ground charging Yuri.
"I play Ridicule World! All monsters my opponents controls gain one hundred attack points, and all monsters that have attack points higher then there original cannot attack this turn." Yuri explains as his trap flips up the special sound of laughter filling the streets halting Dark Rebellions movement.
Dark Rebellion 2500-2600
Yuto's eyes widen. "Damn, I set one card and I end my turn." Yuto says gritting his teeth.
"Aww so much effort but no avail, that must be very frustrating for you." Yuri says leering down at the annoyed Yuto and Shun his expression almost mirroring that of his trap card.
"My turn I draw." Yuri says. "Good, good this duel has been great." Yuri thinks to himself. "I'm glad you two found me dueling like this is awfully satisfying, ugh I sound like Marufuji." Yuri grins speaking to himself.
Yuto raises an eyebrow. "That reminds me, why didn't you card the Fuma brothers." Yuto says speaking slowly.
"Who?" Yuri asks tilting his head.
"The two buffoons you crushed." Shun explains frankly
"Oooh them." Yuri utters before his eyes widen slightly. "Wait why didn't I card them, I beat them it was my right to card them. No don't get sidetracked focus on the duel at hand." Yuri thinks to himself. "Oh you're curious why I let some minor prey go well haven't you ever heard of a Predator using some former prey as bait." Yuri boasted regaining his smug smirk.
"For a moment, he dropped that look on his face, he almost looked human." Yuto thought to himself.
"I play Pot of Greed this card allows me to draw two more cards. I summon Predaplant Chlamydosundew." Yuri said as a reptilian Predaplant crawled onto his field.
Predaplant Chlamydosundew atk 600/200 def lvl 2

Yuri gleefully chants a manic smile on his face as his ace monster appears on the field.
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon atk 2800/2000 def lvl 8
The two dragons appeared to be staring at each other for a few moments causing Yuto and Shun to look on clearly nervous.
"Hm we don't seem to be going psycho, good that Zarc guy could cause a good bit of destruction but him doing it for me was much less fun." Yuri quips.
"That's all you think about is destruction all you really enjoy!" Shun growls.
"There's no way someone could live there life like that, even Obelisk Force seemed like they enjoyed the power but he it's like all he enjoys is others misery." Yuto thinks to himself unsure.
"When Starving Venom is fusion summoned it gains the attack points of all your special summoned monsters, and that covers your Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon." Yuri explains.
Starving Venom 2800-5300
"Now Starving Venom destroy his inferior dragon!" Yuri demanded his dragon spreading his wings and charging at Dark Rebellion.
"I don't think so I play Phantom Knights' Wing! This card increases my monsters attack points by five hundred!" Yuto explains.

Yuto grits as his monster withstands the attack at the cost of its equip trap. "When Phantom Knights' Wing goes to the graveyard I get to banish this trap to bring back a Phantom Knight from my grave revive The Phantom Knight of Break Sword!" Yuto yelled.

"Hmpf I set one card turn end." Yuri scoffs.
"My turn I draw! I summon one monster in facedown defense position and set one card. Turn end take it away Yuto." Shun says.
Yuri suddenly clapped his hands together in load applause. "Yes! Truly a stunning move I've never been so truly inspired!" Yuri says spoke as if he was in awe pretending to wipe a tear from his eye.
"My turn, I draw! I activate the effect of my Dark Rebellion by using one Overlay unit it gains half of your monsters attack. Treason Discharge!" Yuto shouts his dragon observing one of its circulating purple spheres then its wings expand lighting up with purple electricity.

"I play my trap card Damage Diet! With this card I halve all the damage I take this turn." Yuri counters.
Yuri: 1600 - 1250 = 350
"But your monster is still destroyed!" Yuto shouts.
"HA! When Starving Venom is destroyed all of your special summoned monsters go with it!" Yuri yelled as his dragon was ripped to pieces those parts grabbed both Break Sword and Dark Rebellion dragging them to the grave with it.
"No! Dark Rebellion!" Yuto yelled. "Grth Turn end!" Yuto spat with frustration.
"My turn I draw I play Predapruning this equip resurrects one of my Predaplant monsters and I think even people as slow as you two can guess who I'm bringing back. Return to my side Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" Yuri gleefully shouts his ace monster reappearing.

"I activate Raidraptor return when a Raidraptor monster is destroyed I can bring one Raidraptor monster in my graveyard back to my hand. I bring Raidraptor- Vanishing Lanius." Shun explained.
"Hm I set one card facedown. Turn end. Yuri says.

Raidraptor- Vanishing Lanius atk 1300/1600 def lvl 4
"Only two? Shouldn't that trigger the effect once more and summon another? unless you don't have another Raidraptor. Well then if it's only two you can't summon any Xyz monster of note. Go ahead and end your turn." Yuri boast
"Don't get ahead of yourself Monster! I play Raidraptor - Nest when I control at least two Raidraptor monsters this card allows me to get back a Raidraptor from my grave our deck." Shun explains.

"When Blaze Falcon has at least one Overlay unit it can attack directly. End this Blaze Falcon! Raidraptor's Break of Thunderclap!" Shun cries his mechanical Falcon charging at Yuri despite Starving Venom's presence.
"I play my continues trap The Protection of the Predator, when I ever I would take damage while I control a dark monster that monster must be battled before hand!" Yuri countered a wide smile spread across his face.
Shun grits his teeth. "Ugh, I cancel my attack and set one card facedown." Shun grunts frustrated. "Turn end." Shun says looking away disappointed.

"Not so fast I play my trap card Raidraptor - Readiness with one of this cards effect I can banish one Raidraptor monster from my graveyard to take no damage." Shun counters.
"Hmpf fine then I'll attack Yuto's Cursed Javelin." Yuri said his dinosaur charging Yuto's monster.

"I set one card facedown and end my turn." Yuri said smiling almost admiring Yuto's dragon. "Your up failure let's see if you can do anything! Probably not you couldn't even save your own sister." Yuri mocked a wide smile in a sneer spread across his face.
"Blaze Falcon is useless because of Yuri's continues trap but I still have a card to play." Shun thinks to himself. "You're right I am a failure, I couldn't save my sister I couldn't stop Academia and in the end all I managed to be was more fodder infront Zarc. But all these failures have only caused my fire to burn brighter I won't remain useless I'll avenge my fallen comrades and redeem myself by defeating Academia's strongest soldier!" Shun shouts loudly his determination apparent.

"Arsenal Falcon can attack once for each of its Overlay units it currently has five that means five attacks, Full Arsenal Assault!!" Shun roared his massive Falcon unleashing artillery fire first destroying the two tokens.
"Hm I activate the effect of my Drosophyllum Hydra I banish a Predaplant from my grave to decrease your monsters attack points by five hundred." Yuri explained.

"It's still strong enough to destroy your Spinodionaea continue your assault Arsenal Falcon!" Shun shouted.
"I activate the effect of Damage Diet in my grave banishing it halve the damage and with only a measly two thousand attack points my Hydra keeps me nice and safe." Yuri grinned smug swaying back and forth.
Yuri: 350 - 100 = 250 LP
"Gah, I... set one card facedown, turn end." Shun said his expression dropped as he grit his teeth.
"Aww don't be upset it was a nice attempt especially from someone as insignificant as you!" Yuri shouted his grade clutching his sides as he leaned forward to emphasis his joy.
"Shut up I'm finishing you this turn!" Yuto spat.
"Isn't this the tenth time you've said that! I activate Drosophyllum Hydra's effect Dark Rebellion loses five hundred attack points!" Yuri jeered.

"This is good now he'll have to waist Dark Rebellions only overlay unit to destroy my Hydra then I can counter on my next turn and win." Yuri thought to himself.

"So this is the evolved form of your dragon finally you're showing me something interesting, until now I was thought that Sakaki was the superior Xyz summoner." Yuri mocks with a wide smile.
Yuri's words don't even cause Yuto to flinch. "Dark Requiem destroy his Drosophyllum Hydra! Disaster Disobey of Requiem!" Yuto cried his evolved dragon spread its glass like wings charging and destroying Yuri's monster. "Turn end." Yuto says as his Dragon descends to his size.
"Predator Germination is a continues trap so I'll use it to gain three Predaplant tokens once more." Yuri says smirking.

"He summoned his evolved dragon?! But you didn't use the base version!" Yuto blurt shocked.
"Did you really believe that my lovely dragon was as limited as yours? Me and Starving Venom are perfect hunting partners no matter through what manner he'll always fight by my side." Yuri boasted. "On top of this when Triantis is used in a fusion summon I place a Preda counter for every monster I control." Yuri explained. "Well since I only have one I must make a choice, eeny meeny miny moe!" Yuri spoke playfully twiddling his fingers between Shun and Yuto's monsters until landing on Requiem Dragon.

"When Greedy Venom is fusion summoned I choose a monster on my opponents field and its attack points become zero!" Yuri explained with a wild grin.
"Don't get to ahead of yourself I use the effect of Requiem Dragon whenever my opponent uses a monster effect I can use Requiem Dragon to negate that effect and destroy your monster." Yuto explained passionately as Requiem dragon lit up for a second destroying Greedy Venom.
"Heh with Greedy Venom's effect I banish Triantis to revive my Greedy Venom!" Yuri smiled.

"Let's try this again I use Greedy Venom's effect weaken bird brain's overgrown Chicken!" Yuri mocked extending his palm at Arsenal Falcon.

"Arsenal Falcon!" Shun grunted as his Falcon was weakened.
"Greedy Venom destroy that overgrown chick!" Yuri demanded a wide smile on his face.
"I activate Raidraptor Rest! With this card at the price of my Arsenal Falcon your monster is forced to sleep." Shun said dramatically as Greedy Venom's charge was impeded and was put into defense mode.

Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon atk 3300/2500 def lvl 10
"Don't think that will save you! Final Fortress Falcon can banish an Xyz Raidraptor to attack again!" Shun shouted as his Raidraptor Rise Falcon left his graveyard and Final Fortress Falcon unleashed artillery on Yuri's monster destroying it once more.
"What!!?" Yuri blurted. "Shit I only have three resurrections for Greedy Venom left, he just banished one and if my count is correct he has seven left that leaves no chance for survival." Yuri thinks to himself his usual heir of complete control vacant as the danger of his situation truly dawned on him. "I banish my Predaplant Triphyovertum to resurrect my Greedy Venom." Yuri stated his dragon reappearing.

"I banish my Raidraptor Revolution Falcon to destroy your Greedy Venom for good! Finishing flare of eternal judgment!!" Shun roared his ultimate Raidraptor unleashing an uncountable amount of missiles. "Now I banish my Raidraptor Blade Burner Falcon to attack you directly End This!" Shun cried.
"When I would be attacked directly I can special summon this monster. Defend me Predaplant Sarraceniant!" Yuri said a teal insect Predaplant.

"I won't lose! I banish my Predaplant Cordyceps to summon back two Predaplants from my grave return! Predaplant Cephaltotusnail and Predaplant Spinodionaea!" Yuri shouted regaining his smirk while doing so.

"Destroy Spinodionaea!" Shun demanded. "Now I banish my Raidraptor Heel Eagle!" Shun said his beast attempting to destroy Yuri's snail.
"HA! Cephaltotusnail can't be destroyed by battle!" Yuri spits with a manic grin.
"What?!" Shun blurted his eyes widening. "I end my turn." The Xyz user said looking to the ground his face slightly covered in shadow.
"Aww~ was that your gambit for victory? HAHA to think you'd actually think that your pathetic monsters could defeat me." Yuri boasted with a wicked grin. Yuri eyes drifted to his own arm it was lightly trembling. "That was close." Yuri thought to himself.
"Shun's incredible he completely outclassed Yuri's evolved dragon." Yuto thought to himself in amazement of his best friend. "This isn't a time to lose focus Yuto you still have work to do." He continued to think. "My turn I draw! Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon attack his Cephaltotusnail Disaster Disobey of Requiem!!" Yuto shouts.
"What? you moronic fool Cephaltotusnail can't be destroyed by battle?!" Yuri mocks with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes but that's due to its effect and by using Dark Requiem's effect I discard an Overlay unit to negate that effect!" Yuto explains as his dragon's wings illuminated and destroyed the snail. "Now Dark Requiem continue your attack and end this duel!" Yuto demanded as his dragon spread its wings continuing its charge at Yuri.
"I use my trap card Predator Proxy whenever a monster with a Preda counter would attack me directly I can summon a Predaplant in my grave to take the attack for me. Continue to serve me Predaplant Ambulomelidas!" Yuri says proudly with a wide smirk as a plant like beast appears on his field.
Predaplant Ambulomelidas atk 1000/2500 def lvl 5
Yuto grits his teeth as his evolved dragon crushes Yuri defensive Fusion monster. "Turn end." The xyz counterpart uttered frustrated.
"My turn I draw." Yuri pronounced the force had had used to draw picking up some dust. The fusion counterpart looks to his hand of cards. "I have nothing left. They both have there strongest monsters out and I've used up my entire extra deck. The best I can manage with the cards I have left is to barely defend myself, yet." Yuri thought to himself his body was slightly shaking but not with fear it was excitement his smile was so strong and wide that his cheek bones were sore. "I'm having so much fun! My hearts beating so fast! This is way better than stomping weaklings! I've only felt this way once!" Yuri raved in his mind as images of his climatic duel against Yuya Sakaki flooded his brain.
"Oh I'm surprised the Professor's pet actually cares about facing a challenge." The words of Hell Kaiser play in Yuri's head
"I set one card facedown and end my turn." Yuri says still smirking but his busy mind obvious from the manner of his speak.
"My turn I draw!" Shun shouted. "Raidraptor Final Fortress Falcon! Attack Yuri directly! Finishing Flare of Eternal Judgment!" Shun demanded his ultimate Falcon unleashing its bombardment.
As the hundred of missiles were about to rain down on Yuri he looked down to his facedown. "Let's stress test this." He silently muttered to himself. "I activate Necro Fusion with this card I can perform a fusion summon by banishing monsters in my graveyard! I banish my Greedy Venom and my Chimerarafflesia!" Yuri proclaimed with a smile.
Shun's face stiffened in shock. "What?!" He blurted.
"Another evolution!" Yuto proclaimed.
"Come on!" Yuri shouted with a wide smile. "Great dragon that indulges with all that pleases you! Merge with the murderous Chimera of mindless destruction! Now meld and become the true Apex Predator! Destroy all and gain a sickening satisfaction! Rage and evolve through the fires of an ultimate battle that shakes the heavens! FUSION SUMMON! Level 10 Starving Venom Predapower Fusion Dragon!" Yuri chants as a massive version of Starving venom flew from out of the fusion vortex it had four wings and a long tail that almost obscured its arms and legs. From its four wings massive burst of a neon pink energy in the simple of a flower it illuminated the entirety of the destroyed city.
Starving Venom Predapower Fusion Dragon atk 3600/2500 lvl 10
"Impossible!" Yuto muttered a pink gleam radiating in his eyes.
"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" Yuri raved. "HAHAHA! Hell Kaiser was right nothing beats a feeling like this! This feels so damn good!" Yuri screamed his smile wide and manic smile made him resemble mad man.
Former Xyz resistance base.
Allen tapped his foot at a rapid pace. "I don't like this I should be helping." The train deck user said clearly annoyed.
"Allen, you know only Shun. Kaito and Yuto are strong enough to fight this guy." Sayaka said concerned for her friends fighting and worried that Allen may do something stupid.
"That doesn't mean I have to like it!" Allen shouted frustration evident all over his expression.
Ruri stared at the door of the shrine. "My brother and Yuto fought so hard to save me it doesn't feel right to stand here and do nothing." Ruri thought to herself somber. An odd feeling rose in her and she moved through the shrine door to her complete shock she say the giant glowing image of flower that covered her entire home in neon pink light.
Back at the duel.
"That monster still won't save you destroy his monster! Final Fortress Falcon!" Shun shouted his commands Yuri dragon destroyed but it wouldn't last long.
"When Predapower Fusion Dragon is destroyed I get to summon a dark monster from my grave and this means it can resurrect itself!" Yuri shouted his wide manic smirk growing.
Starving Venom Predapower Fusion Dragon atk 3600/2500 lvl 10
"Gah I... I set one card turn end." Shun grumbled the current peril dawning on him.
"My move I draw I use Requiem Dragon's effect make dragons attack points zero requiem retribution!" Yuto proclaimed.
"Ha that won't work I use the effect of my Predapower I banish your Dark Requiem to negate its effect!" Yuri said nearly mad with glee.
"No Dark Requiem!" Yuto blurted in shock. "I end my turn." The xyz user said weakly.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Yuri cackled wickedly. "I play Predator Implosion! By tributing a dark monster within my control to destroy all cards on both of our fields!" Yuri raved.
"Damn Final Fortress!" Shun shouted in shock as his ultimate monster was deleted.
"Now with its effect I revive my Predapower Fusion Dragon!" Yuri exclaimed with wicked joy.
Starving Venom Predapower Fusion Dragon atk 3600/2500 lvl 10
"Yuto... I'm sorry." Shun said apologeticly looking to the ground.
"Shun." Yuto gasped weakly.
"Now devour our prey my lovely hunting partner!" Yuri gleefully roared his ultimate monster letting out a neon pink beam from its entire body.
Shun: 200 - 3600 = 0 LP
Shun was sent flying back hitting the rubble of his home unconscious by Yuri's mighty malevolent fusion dragon.
"Heh HAHAHAHA!" Yuri laughed. "You pathetic fool! Did you really believe you could stand to me!" Yuri screamed in Shun's direction. "Now what can you do!" Yuri turned his head in Yuto's direction with a sneer his fast movements carrying weight that even startled Yuto before placing a card facedown.
"My turn I draw!" Yuto said antsy. "He's a monster.." Yuto muttered to himself his eyes locked on Yuri's manic smile as his psychotic laughter rang in his ears.
"HAHA! What are you scared!" Yuri mocked moving his body in rapid movements. "WHaaat!? Can't you fight withou backup!" Yuri asked closing one of his eyes and sneering at Yuto.
Yuto grit his teeth. "You just don't get it! The members of Academia all ways destroy! They don't think about all the bonds and people they're trampling on!" Yuto yelled irate his expression furious.
"Heh and it's those exact bonds that make you weak." Yuri said speaking ominously calm.
"What?!" Yuto blurted shocked.
"Despite all your attempts to fight Academia and save your girlfriend~ the first chance you got you gave up and settled for being a mere observer." Yuri spoke with a cruel smirk.
Yuto grits his teeth and slightly stepped back. "It's not like that! If I continued on that path I would've been no different than you and the scum of Obelisk Force!" Yuto shouted.
"Ha~ You gonna keep making excuses?" Yuri asked a self satisfied smirk on his face.
"Grrth!" Yuto seethed.
"Face it when the going gets tough you let others handle it. After your death to Fusion of all people all you really were was a power up for Sakaki. Then against me you were almost entirely reliant on bird brain. Face it as you are know you're not someone that can fight someone like me on your own." Yuri grinned his smile soft.
Yuto was left in stunned silence. "Calm down! Yuto he's just trying to get in your head!" Yuto yelled at himself internally.
Yuri let out a deep sigh. "A shame I was having a lot of fun too. Yuri said swaying his head back and forth petulantly.
"Don't count me out! I'll show you the power of my ties!" Yuto shouted. "I play Monster Reborn with this card I get to bring back a monster from my graveyard. Continue to fight for the rebellion rise Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Yuto yelled.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon atk 2500/2000 def rnk 4
"Heh without its effect that monster isn't threatening at all~" Yuri chided.
"Don't think I'm done!" Yuto proclaimed. His eyes drifted over to Shun's facedown. "He set that card before he lost, I need to make use of it." He thought to himself. Yuto pressed a few buttons on his duel disk to check Shun's facedown his eyes widening in recognition.
Shortly before Academia's attack on Heartland
Shun and Yuto sat at a table seemingly in the pre destroyed Heartland Academy. They both have their respective cards spread across the table.
"By using Arsenal Falcons effect I can get out any of my Raidraptor Xyz monsters." Shun explained picking up the black card.
"Woah that's a winning strategy." Yuto gawked.
"Any combo you've been working on?" The older boy asked gesturing to Yuto.
"I've been trying to find a way to get out Requiem Dragon out easier but my deck just doesn't have the drawing power of yours." Yuto explained bashful.
"Hm, yeah. Wait that reminds me. Me and Ruri were by a cards shop and she said she found this card." Shun explained pulling out a card from his pocket.
"Oh it's a Rank-Up magic." Yuto noted. "Phantom Knights' Rank-Up-Magic Force." Yuto muttered. "So it's another Rank-Up for my Phantom knights?" Yuto asked in a questioning tone.
"Not just that if you read it, it actually works for both Raidraptors, Phantom Knights and an Xyz Dragon." Shun explained happily.
Yuto pulled the card closer to his face. "You're right." The xyz user proclaimed. "Your sure you want me to have this? It could be good in your deck too?" Yuto stated.
"I thought you would say that." Shun said with a smile while pulling out another copy of the card from his pocket.
Present time.
"I play the facedown Shun left me! Phantom Knights' Rank-Up Force!" Yuto shouted. "Dragon formed from pitch black darkness! Spread your newfound wings of Rebellion! Descend and strike down your enemies with your treacherous fangs! Rank Up Xyz change! Rank 5 Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Yuto chanted as Dark Rebellion exited the Xyz vortex now with Rise Falcon's wings added to its own and other parts from the Raidraptor.
Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon atk 3000/2500 def rnk 5
Yuri let out a playful whistle. "Ok I know that was a Rank up Xyz or whatever, but shouldn't that be a fusion summon? I mean it's pretty clearly a mixture of your dragon and bird brains chicken." Yuri said stroking his chin.
"This monster is the embodiment of mine and Shun's bond! It's our ultimate Xyz monster! Yuto stated. "I use its only Overlay unit, with its effect it gains the attack points of all monsters on the field! Rise Of Rebellion!" Yuto passionately shouted.
Arc Rebellion atk 3000-6600
"Now Arc Rebellion destroy his Predappower Fusion dragon and avenge are comrades!" Yuto demanded his dragon soaring and then flying at max speed to Yuri's monster.
"I activate my trap card Plastic Predator!" Yuri said his trap flipping up and what looked to be a plastic flower came out.
Plastic Predator atk 0/0 lvl 1
"This trap monster is considered a dark monster as well as a Predaplant but most importantly it's also considered to have a Preda counter on it." Yuri explained. "Now I use my Dragon's effect I send my Plastic Predator to the grave to destroy your pathetic dragon!" Yuri screamed with a wicked grin.
"That doesn't matter Arc Rebellion can't be destroyed by effects!" Yuto countered.
"What?!" Yuri snapped.
"End This!!" Yuto cried.
"Not Yet!" Yuri roared back. "I banish Predator Implosion in my graveyard! When I banish this card I tribute one dark monster on my field to end the battle phase!" Yuri says with a wicked grin.
"No! damn!" Yuto grumbled.
"I then use the effect of my Predapower to bring back a dark monster and as you know it itself is a dark monster! Rise Starving Venom Predapower Dragon!" Yuri yelled leering at Yuto.
Starving Venom Predapower Fusion Dragon atk 3600/2500 lvl 10
"I... set one card facedown. Turn end. And now that my turns over Arc Dragon's attack points return to normal." Yuto says sounding nearly defeated.
Arc Rebellion 6600-3000
Yuri let out slight huffs and puffs. "This is getting down to the wire." The purple boy thought. "I must say Yuto that was quite impressive!" Yuri praised. "You know I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. You're at least as interesting as Fusion when you're like this." Yuri said prattling on.
"This isn't a game!! Your people ravaged my home are you really content living your life like this?!!" Yuto snapped his expression stern. "I'm sorry Yuya I just can't smile while dueling this guy." Yuto conceded in his head.
"Ugh I was having fun and then you talk like that again!" Yuri petulantly complained causing Yuto to stifle. "Now let's keep going I draw! Starving Venom Predapower Fusion Dragon devour that pathetic dragon!" Yuri demanded with a wicked smile.
"I activate my trap card Phantom Knights' of Shattered Shield this trap turns the monster it's equipped to into defense mode and increases its defense points by one thousand!" Yuto explains defiantly.
Arc Rebellion def 2500-3500
"That's still not enough!~" Yuri gleefully cried happily relishing in being the bearer of bad news.
"But with Arc Rebellion in defense mode I don't take damage." Yuto grunted as his and Shun's ace merger was destroyed.
"Hmf I set one card facedown. Turn end." Yuri huffed still grinning.
"My move I draw!" Yuto proclaimed picking up dust. "I play Allure of Darkness! I discard my Phantom Knights of Fragile Armor now I get to draw two cards!" Yuto explains. "Got it!" Yuto cheers in his head. "I play The Rebellions Revenge! With this card I can resurrect one Xyz dragon monster in my grave and this card acts as an Overlay unit! Return Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon!" Yuto shouts.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon atk 2500/2000 def rnk 5
"But the monster summoned using this card can't attack or use its effect." Yuto explains.
"Heh then you're done for~!" Yuri says with a smirk of excitement.
Yuto looks to his hand images of Yuya and his own dying words flashing through his mind. "Heh and it's those exact bonds that make you weak." Yuri's words play in Yuto's head. Yuto breaths in and slowly breaths out. "Yuri let me show you bonds don't just go one way. I didn't just give Yuya Xyz summoning I gained something from are time as one as well." Yuto says proudly.
"Oooh~." Yuri says drawing out the sound his pupils shaking with anticipation.
"I play Rank-Up Eclipse Force! Whenever I have a dark xyz dragon I can use this card to summon a dark xyz dragon from my extra deck with a higher rank!" Yuto proclaimed. "Fangs of Rebellion gain new power and slash the pall of darkness!! Rank-Up Xyz Change Rank 7 Dark Anthelion Dragon!!!" Yuto chanted a larger version of Dark Rebellion rose from the Xyz vortex adorn with bone and metallic armor.
Dark Anthelion Dragon atk 3000/2500 def rnk 7
"Wait, that monster..." Yuri began to mutter.
"It's both a Pendulum and a Xyz monster!" Yuto stated with a stern and determination expression and tone.
"It's like Yuya Sakaki's Odd Eyes Raging Dragon. Yet instead of Sakaki's dragon being empowered by Xyz energy his Rebellion dragon has been enhanced by the power of pendulum, interesting." Yuri notes in his head.
"I use my Anthelion Dragon's effect! by using up both of its Overlay units it cuts your monsters attack in half and both my monsters attack and my life points go up by that amount! Absorb Eclipse!" Yuto cried as his pendulums spread its wings glowing a blinding umbral light akin to what is caused by an eclipse the ligh striking Predapower Fusion Dragon causing energy to leave the apex predator and enter Yuto's dragon and himself.

"Now Dark Anthelion Dragon enact retribution and get revenge for your fallen comrades! All encompassing Darkness Assault!!!" Yuto roared the ultimate version of his ace surging with energy and charging at Yuri's apex Fusion monster.
A expression of somber acceptance "...So, this how it ends." Yuri utters the usual sadistic energy of his speech entirely absent. "Well it's definitely what I deserve." Yuri said looking to the ground a smile different then any he had before was it shame acceptance our even empathy?
Yuto's eyes widened the world seemingly slowing down around him. "Yuri,." The Xyz counterpart uttered.
"It's probably best it's you that defeats." Yuri says raising his quivering hand to cover his face and as he lowered his hand his expression was once again. It was by far the most demented psychotic, insane expression Yuto had ever witnessed.
"HehHAHAHAHAHA!!! You fool! You forgot my Continues trap! Didn't you Moron!?! The second effect of Predator Germination activates! Whenever a dark monster of mine would be destroyed its destruction is negated! Aswell as the attacking monster being destroyed in its place!" Yuri raves his left eye twitching rapidly.
The two dragons stare at each other letting out a head splitting roar neon green sparks of lightning emanating in between the dragons.
"Grthgth!" Yuto grunts. "What the hell is going on?!" Yuto snaps a purple hue growing in his eyes.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Yuri laughs a pink light appearing his eyes.
INTRUSION PENALTY: - 2000 LP
Ruri: 4000 - 2000 = 2000
"Ruri!?" Yuto blurted in shock.
"Yuto! I won't let you do this alone!" Ruri cried running to stand beside her beloved.
A few minutes earlier
"I can't take this anymore I'm going to go join Yuto and Shun!" Allen proclaimed his time on the sidelines boiling his temper.
Sayaka recoiled. "Please, Allen we just have to trust them. I want to help to but, what do you think Ruri?" Sayaka inquired turning around not to see her friend but the open doors of there former base.
Ruri recklessly ran through the destroyed streets of her home dimension. "Yuto, I'm sorry you tried so hard to save me! You even died trying. I can't just leave you to do all the work again. This time I'll be by your side." Ruri berates herself in her head.
Back to the Present
"Yuto this time I won't leave you alone with the burden." Ruri called out tears welling up in her eyes.
"R-Ruri." Yuto stammered looking to the love of his life.
"Awww~ Your so precious it's revolting! But boyfriend's ace monster is still destroyed!" Yuri called out but as he did the neon green sparks increased in intensity.
Ruri's bracelet began to emanate a large bright purple light cutting through the light caused by the dragon's proximity and in the next moment Yuri was gone.
Duel: NO Result
Yuri's eyes slowly opened the his vision slightly blurred he can make out that he was surrounded by grey walls at three angels. With Yuri's experience with the effects of those bracelets and the rushing back memories of the outcome of his clash with Yuto it didn't take a genius to piece together what had happened.
He was in another dimension.
Oh boy finally done.
The conclusion to the Xyz section of the story atleast for now.
This chapter is definitely the most ambitious thus far. Definitely didn't turn out to be short and quick like I expected with this chapter a slight but key change has happened in Yuri's character.
I really struggled with this duel not to have either Shun our Yuto outshine one the other and I kinda feel like I failed Shun just has way more cards to work with making writing dueling with him way easier.
Still I think Yuto got his moments showing two new ace monsters that were moments I had planned from the beginning.
I know it's kind of a tease to have Ruri join the duel but do nothing but even if she had a turn I still would've had to BS Yuri into a different dimension some how and Yuto would be screwed without his dragon.
Anyway that does it for this chapter next chapter we'll be in a new dimension
