Ulrich362: Yup, and things are about to get very interesting.
bopdog111: What will happen here?
Ulrich362: Well, all the pieces are in place. It's time for a tournament. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Cloud was using the bathroom with Allie waiting outside to help him back to the bed when he's done.
"Cloudy? Do you think the others are ok?" she asked.
"Yeah their okay." Cloud answered in the bathroom as she can hear him washing his hands.
"I hope so, I miss Yuya and Zuzu." Allie admitted.
"I do to. But I feel their okay." Cloud assured her before she hears the sink was turned off before the door opened showing Cloud leaning against the doorway to support himself to not apply pressure to his foot.
She quickly moved to help him. "I've got you."
Cloud wrapped his arm around her shoulders as she helps him to the bed
"Do you need help getting ready before we go with everybody?" she asked.
"I'm not sure what to do since I can't help Sapphire in the Tournament." Cloud admitted to her.
"We'll be rooting for her, and so is Pip." Allie mentioned hugging him.
Cloud hugged her back before kissing her cheek, "I know..." He then looked down, "But still like this I can't help but feel useless to aid her."
"It's alright Cloud, just knowing you're watching is enough for now."
Hearing that they looked over seeing Sapphire at the doorway with Pip. Roscoe was with them before walking in and lying down.
"Sorry you heard that." Cloud told Sapphire.
"I understand." she mentioned. "You're anything but useless."
Cloud only looked back down, "I'm suppose to be the one defending you three but I can't like this..."
"They're strong... you don't have to worry about them." mentioned a male voice.
Hearing that Cloud turned. A transparent Jack was smiling softly.
"Jack?" Cloud asked shocked seeing him.
Hearing that Pip's eyes widened in shock.
"I think... you're the only one who can see me." Jack told Cloud before gently smiling. "Cheer your girlfriend on ok?"
Hearing that Cloud looked at him before turning to Sapphire for a few seconds before turning back to Jack nodding. Pip and Sapphire helped Cloud onto Roscoe's back before they started heading to the stadium.
"You all ready?" Crow asked seeing them heading down.
"Yeah, we are." Sapphire nodded.
"Do you know who else is in the tournament?" Allie asked curiously.
"Peewee's in it with me, Shinji, and two people he recruited with them." Crow answered.
"I'm the only of our group entering, so that's... six. There should be at least two other people entering." Sapphire noted. "Or... it is sixteen duelists instead of eight?"
"It's eight." Crow confirmed, "I don't know who those last two are."
Sapphire nodded before taking a breath. "Well, let's go."
They nodded heading off. A while later they reached a large stadium full of cheering people.
Meanwhile...
Ryan, and Molly were somewhere at a pit.
"I still can't believe he, and Jack convinced me for this Exhibition."
It seems Ryan was putting on a purple Turbo Outfit.
"I think you look handsome in that, but I still don't know why he wanted you to duel in the Exhibition if you're not competing." Molly admitted before pausing with a small blush.
"Well... I should also hold back Fusion Summoning since it might bring unwanted attention." Ryan admitted to her.
"Can you duel without it?" she asked.
"Let's find out." Ryan said to her nervously while about to put on a purple helmet with a dark purple visor only for Molly to turn him to her, "Molly?"
She kissed him. "Good luck Ryan, I love you."
He blushed but smiled nodding putting on his helmet arming a purple Duel Board before taking a deep breath riding out.
"And the special duelist for this exhibition was personally selected by Jack himself, please welcome Ryan." announced a female voice.
Ryan entered the arena at this.
"And now his opponent for this duel, the king himself Jack Atlas!" the female voice announced as Jack rode out on a white duel runner causing the crowd to start cheering.
Ryan, and Jack readied themselves at the starting line where Ryan nervously said to Jack, "I'll try not to disappoint you."
"Four short turns, that's all I'll need to take my victory lap." Jack told him. "You should be honored, I'm feeling generous enough to give you two moves."
Ryan only blinked hearing that.
"You heard him folks! The King's prediction is 4 turns, so let's see what our lucky young man can do!" the female announcer said to the crowd.
"I'll activate the field spell Speed World Neo!" Jack called.
Speed World Neo
Field Spell Card
This card cannot be destroyed.
"DUEL!" Ryan and Jack called together before racing off.
They headed off before Jack pulled back allowing Ryan to rode on ahead.
'Alright, let's see what he can do.' Jack thought calmly.

Jack: 4000
Hand: 5
Let the duel begin!
Ryan 1st Turn:
'Okay.' Ryan thought looking over his hand seeing he drawn Polymerization, 'Polymerization... I have to keep away from Fusion Summoning since it can bring unwanted attention. I better hold off for now.' With that thought he placed the spell in his hand before grabbing one of the monsters, "I summon Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World!"
Beiige rose up cackling evilly holding his bone spear.

Jack just nodded calmly seeing the monster. "Not a horrible start, but please tell me you can do more than that."
'Wish I can... But I can't bring my best due to this not being something anyone knows.' Ryan admitted in his mind before setting 3 cards, "I place three cards down, and end my turn."
Ryan's Hand: 2

"A Tuner Monster." Ryan grunted hearing that before noticing Red Resonator charging energy giving sparkles to Jack after raising above Red Sprinter.
"Red Resonator's ability activates when I Special Summon him, I gain life points equal to the attack points of any monster in play." Jack explained.
(Jack: 5700)
'Oh that explains what that monster was destroyed... But still what monster is he gonna summon?' Ryan thought seeing that.
"Level two Red Resonator tune with level four Red Sprinter!" Jack called as Red Resonator turned into two green rings and Red Sprinter became four stars.
(LV: 2 + 4 = 6)
"The crimson souls shall become one. All shall tremble before the king's might! Synchro Summon! Appear, Red Wyvern!" A red dragon having flames on it appeared roaring.

"This negates your attack, and you take damage equal to Red Wyvern's attack points!" Ryan called pointing to Red Wyvern as two Cylinders appeared at each side of Beiige as the flame blast entered one, and exited the other at Jack.
Jack's eyes widened in shock as the flames hit him.
(Jack: 3300)
"I end my turn."
Jack's Hand: 2
Ryan: 4000
Hand: 3
Jack: 3300
Hand: 2
Ryan 2nd Turn:
'Okay that was close...' Ryan admitted drawing looking, 'But in this position... The only way I have to get out is to Fusion Summon but...'
"Don't even think of holding back." Jack told him.
That got Ryan's attention looking over to him.
"This is your last turn, so show everyone what kind of duelist you really are." Jack mentioned calmly.
Hearing that Ryan looked over his hand before thinking, 'He's right... This is the last turn of his prediction, so what other option is there... Besides it was a stupid choice to hold back... Well no more!' "Alright, I activate Polymerization!"
Polymerization
Normal Spell Card
Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material.
"So now I Fusion Summon using monsters on my field or hand!" Ryan called as Beiige, and Aleister rose up in the Fusion Vortex fusing together.
"Oh my, Ryan is pulling off a move we've never seen before." the woman announced.
"Spellcaster of the Numerous Spells! Join together with the being from the Dark World into a being shaped as we never seen! Fusion Summon! Level 6, Invoked Caliga!" Ryan chanted.

You can only use this effect of "Invocation" once per turn.
"So now I can Fusion Summon again but when I summon another Invoked this way, I can banish monsters from my field or any our graveyards! So I banish your Red Sprinter with Aleister!" Ryan called as the graveyard portal opened showing the two fusing together.
Jack's eyes widened at that.
"Spellcaster of the Numerous Spells! Join together with the being from the Flames of the Kings into a being shaped as we never seen! Fusion Summon! Level 7, Invoked Purgatrio!" Ryan chanted.

'So that's his power, interesting.' Jack thought calmly.
"Purgatrio gains 200 attack points for every card on your field!" Ryan called as Purgatrio glowed.
Jack's eyes widened at that.
Invoked Purgatrio: (ATK: 2300 + (200 * 3) = 2900)
"Then I activate Invocation's effect in my graveyard!" Ryan called as the spell shuffled itself, "By sending this card back to my Deck, I take Aleister from banishment, and add him back to my hand." The card rose before he adds it before calling, "And now I activate his ability!" The card shattered as he said, "By sending it back to the graveyard, Purgatrio gains 1000 points!"
Invoked Purgatrio: (ATK: 2900 + 1000 = 3900)
"3900 points?" the woman cried in shock.
"Due to Caliga's effect we can only activate Monster Effects one time each turn, and can attack with only one monster during every Battle Phase." Ryan added before he called, "Purgatrio attack Red Wyvern!"
Purgatrio charged three flaming blasts firing it Jack's Synchro. Red Wyvern shattered as Jack winced.
(Jack: 1800)
Invoked Purgatrio: (ATK: 3900 - 200 = 3700)
Ryan seeing that thought, 'Now's my chance!' "Now I activate, The Book of The Law!"

"So that's your plan." Jack realized.

"Not quite, I activate the trap card Reject Reborn." Jack countered.
Reject Reborn
Normal Trap Card

"Not only does it negate your attack and end the battle, Red Wyvern and Red Resonator come back, though their effects are negated."
The blast was blocked as the two appeared.
Red Wyvern: (Defense Position/Effects Negated)
Red Resonator: (Defense Position/Effects Negated)
Ryan blinked seeing that, "Did I rush that last move...? I end my turn."
Invoked Purgatrio: (ATK: 3700 - 1000 - 200 + (200 * 2) = 2900)
Ryan's Hand: 0
Jack 2nd Turn:
"I'm almost impressed, but you fell short too early." Jack told him before turning around. "This duel is over."
Hearing that Ryan grunted looking at the two monsters he summoned, 'So he's gonna summon a Level 8 Synchro... What can that monster be?'
"Red Resonator tune with level six Red Wyvern!" Jack called as Red Resonator turned into two green rings and Red Wyvern became six stars.
(LV: 2 + 6 = 8)
"The heaven and earth shall tremble before the king's might. Let the power of the one and only supreme ruler be carved into your soul! Synchro Summon! The savage soul, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!"
A scarred dragon with a broken horn, and a white arm appeared roaring.

Once per turn: You can destroy as many Special Summoned Effect Monsters on the field as possible with ATK less than or equal to this card's (other than this card), then inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each monster destroyed.
"What in the...?" Ryan asked amazed seeing the dragon.
Invoked Purgatrio: (ATK: 2900 - 200 = 2700)
"I play Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend's ability, an ability that destroys both of your monsters and deals 500 points of damage for each one." Jack stated. "Go, Ruthless Inferno!"
Scarlight's white arm burned with fire before blasting at Ryan's field as he cried out helpless watching his two Fusions burned away, "He destroyed them both with quick ease...!" (Ryan: 3000) "And I'm also wide open!"
"Exactly, now to finish this duel." Jack called. "Molten Crimson Flare!"
Scarlight charged a fire blast blasting Ryan which blast him in the air screaming from that.
Ryan: 0000
Hand: 0
Jack: 1800
Hand: 3
Jack wins the duel!
"Oh no!" Molly cried in horror as the crowd erupted into cheers.
Before Ryan can have a hard landing on the field his Deck glowed before Hiita, Lyna, and Dharc all caught him. Jack watched that before racing off with a small nod. Molly ran over as Ryan groaned shaking his head, "Whoa... That would've gone better."
"Are you ok?" she asked him.
"Yeah." Ryan gave an assured nod to her before frowning, "That match just proves that I'm quite not ready since I held back."
Molly nodded before frowning. "I just hope I do ok for you."
"I know you will." Ryan said before he tried to stand but sat back down on his bottom grunting, "Man... I think I'm exhausted."
"Let me help you." Molly mentioned offering her hand.
Ryan took her hand at that. The two of them walked off.
"Quite the duel, as Jack Atlas shows just why he's the best duelist of all." mentioned a woman in a helicopter. "Though one of these eight skilled duelists just might get the chance to put him to the test."
Ryan, and Molly arrived back to the pit where a couch was as they sat down on it to watch a TV before he blushed, "You know... In between your matches we can show how much we love each other here."
"I'd like that." Molly smiled.
At that Ryan starts to take off his Turbo Uniform after seeing his Duel Academy Uniform to get dressed. As he did images of Molly, Peewee, Yuya, Zuzu, Sapphire, Shinji, Crow, and a large man with markings on his face appeared. Ryan frozen taking off his top seeing Yuya, and Zuzu, "Are those..."
"The ones from Standard?" Molly asked in shock.
"Which means... If you beat them we can take them with us." Ryan said finishing pulling off his top revealing his shirtless body to her in excitement.
"If I can... I'm not as good as you, Yuri, or Celina." Molly admitted before blushing and gently embracing him from behind.
Ryan reached behind him placing his hand on Molly's cheek, "I have faith in you Molly."
She smiled as they looked to see who was dueling first. It was revealed to be the large man in marks against Sapphire. Molly suddenly gasped. "Ryan, we met her before! She was with that boy who injured his foot."
"Does that mean he's here with her, and that other girl?" Ryan asked hearing that putting on his blazer.
Molly nodded. "I think so."
Meanwhile...
"I'm first, alright." Sapphire nodded.
Cloud kissed her cheek, "Be careful, I have a bad feeling about that guy."
"I'll be alright." Sapphire reassured him before getting on a duel board. "Allie, Pip? Take care of Cloud while I'm gone."
The two nodded before she rode out.
bopdog111: Sapphire has a tough duel.
Ulrich362: True, against a dangerous opponent.
bopdog111: What can she do against Sergey?
Ulrich362: Being honest... I don't think she'll win but I've been surprised before. We'll have to find out, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
