"So you guys are from another world entirely?" Hazel asked and the girls nodded. "You were picked by this Histoire lady to help them via dueling because they can't fight here?" Julio nodded. "And you all have to save our world from being conquered by some evil people?" They all nodded. "Sounds like it could be fun and dangerous."
"Yeah excluding the dying if I lose part these duels are really fun." Julio said with a grin. "So any other questions?"
"Yeah is it cool if I help out?" She asked and Julio blinked.
"Huh?"
"You know help duel against these guys because from the looks of it you guys are not gonna be able to take on all of them alone and I'm strong." Hazel pointed out. "Plus the damage is real what will happen if you get hurt and can't duel because you're healing."
"Well that's true and Dan and Kila are gonna help too and I definitely trust you." Julio said thinking before turning to the others. "What do you guys think? This involves you as well."
"I say go for. The more help we get the more I can do noth-I mean the easier it can be when dealing with these guys." Neptune said getting stares. "What?"
"While I don't agree with the do nothing part, I do agree the more help we get the better." IF said in agreement.
"Yeah Hazel's right. It'd be a bad idea to duel if you get injured badly." Compa said nodding.
"Hmm. From what you said she's a capable duelist and trustworthy so I guess there isn't much to complain about." Noire said crossing her arms. "Alright I approve."
"Alright! This means we're friends! I can't wait to fight the bad guys!" Hazel said in excitement. Julio rolled his eyes at her enthusiasm and glanced at his D-Tablet for the time and saw he still had a few hours before he needed to head home.
"Well there's still a few hours before I need to head back home. Now what?" Julio asked.
"I for one would like to see more of this dueling." Noire declared. "I want to know more for the future."
"Well that's actually a good idea plus I still need a bit more practice when it comes to using you guys during a duel." Julio said.
"Well I'd offer but I left my deck at home." Hazel said cheerfully getting a deadpan stare from the others.
"Okay...Let's stop by the duel arena." Julio suggested. "There's always someone to duel there."
"Ooh good idea!" Hazel said. "Can I get a ride with ya?"
"Sure." Julio said leading the way to his D-Wheel. Julio grabbed a spare helmet from the compartment and tossed it to her which she put it on excitedly. Julio put his on and climbed on. Neptune hopped back into his inner pocket while Compa and IF got onto his lap. Noire after a bit decided to hop onto his lap as well though there was little room.
"I need to come up with something for the future because from what you guys said you have more friends coming." Julio commented.
"Yeah we should have two more but who knows there could be more in the future." Neptune said. "Our sisters could possibly come along."
"You guys have sisters?" Julio said in surprise.
"Yep I have my dear sweet Nep Junior." Neptune said happily and full of love.
"I have my sister Uni." Noire said proudly.
"Our friend Blanc has two and they're twins. Our other friend Vert doesn't though but don't bring that up around her." Neptune said seriously. The others nodded at that and Julio shrugged.
"I'll take your word for it." He said starting up the runner before driving off. Thankfully the arena wasn't far away and they didn't have to take the highway to get there so they got there in roughly ten minutes. Along the way he answered a question that Noire had.
"So what's with this bike it seems different than any I've seen?" Noire questioned.
"Oh it's a D-Wheel though some people call these Duel Runners. People use these for riding duels." Julio explained.
"No offense but that sounds dangerous." Noire said in surprise.
"Oh it is that's why it's a very long process to be able to get a license. Of course there is a autopilot mode which is typically used during duels but some prefer to do it manually." Julio said. "IF participated in one yesterday."
"Yeah it was actually pretty awesome." IF said in slight excitement. "It just felt really thrilling riding at really fast speeds. To be honest it felt even cooler when he summoned me."
"Now I want to try it out." Neptune said pouting.
"Hey remember we already faced one on a D-Wheel. Odds are we'll face another another in the future." Julio pointed out. Julio pulled into the parking lot the arena had and went directly towards the area specifically for duel runners. There was a small entrance for those who wanted to participate in a riding duel. The arena itself was large around ten stories tall and just as wide. It had the appearance of a large dome with large windows on the dome itself. The girls excluding Hazel were impressed with it though their tiny size likely made it even bigger.
"Woah something this big for dueling?" Noire said in shock as Julio turned off the D-Wheel
"Yeah you should have seen what happened when we got into that riding duel." IF said since the highway itself changing the way it did still amazed her. The group got off the D-Wheel but before they could enter a object smacked into Julio sending him over the bike.
"Why?" Julio moaned. "Is this never gonna end?"
"OW. Damn it!" A angry female voice said clearly not happy with her landing. Julio looked at the girl who was of course chibi. She had pale skin and short sandy-brown colored hair that reached her neck and dull blue eyes. On the top of her head she wore a big white cap with light blue ruffles and a brown and gold under and center piece. She wore an opened white jacket with powder blue markings, dark brown lining, and light colored brown fur over a white dress with dark brown lining and markings on it. Around her neck was a light blue choker with a single white stripe in the middle and blue gem in the center. She wore powder blue sandals with a white ribbon around her right leg that resembled a bandage.
"You okay?" Julio questioned as he sat up.
"Yeah. I've been through worse." The girl said in a lot calmer and softer voice. "Thanks for your concern though."
"No problem." Julio said rubbing his head.
"Blanc!" Neptune said happily as she hugged the girl. Julio took the time to stand up and rub his head and look around for the cards that typically appear. He then noticed two cards this time. One with the girl as an effect monster and the other a blank synchro card like with Neptune and Noire. He read the name of the visible one which said 'CPU Blanc'. He placed the cards into his deck and turned back to Neptune.
"Ahh! Get off me." The girl now identified as Blanc growled. "Good to see you're in one piece though."
"Aww Blanc cares about me." Neptune said happily.
"You're here faster than expected." Noire said surprise.
"Histoire managed to make the portal quicker but passed out so we shouldn't expect Vert for a while." Blanc explained.
"Figures she'd do something like that." IF sighed.
"Does she do this type of thing often?" Julio questioned.
"Yeah when she does something out of her specs." Neptune sighed.
"Or when Nep-Nep doesn't do her work and Histy has to do it for her." Compa said happily though that only got Neptune some stares from the two non Gamindustri natives.
"I'm just gonna say this now...You better not make us do all the work or I'll see to it that you don't get pudding for the rest of the time you're here." Julio said in a calm and threatening voice. "It's not a threat by the way it's a promise."
"Eep! Understood." Neptune said in slight fear. Noire however smirked at that.
"Good to see someone's not gonna put up with you're laziness." Noire said
"Indeed." Blanc said simply before turning to Julio and Hazel. "And you two are?"
"I'm Julio. I'm gonna be your duelist during all this." Julio said introducing himself.
"I'm Hazel. Pleasure to meet you." Hazel said happily.
"Good to meet you both. I'm Blanc." She said simply.
"You like to keep to yourself don't ya?" Julio questioned.
"Yes sometimes it's too loud and I can't be in peace." Blanc said slightly annoyed.
"I can understand that." Julio said shrugging. "Sometimes it's nice to just have peace and quiet and relax."
"Glad to see someone understands that." Blanc said with a small smile. "So where are we?"
"At the duel arena we were gonna head in until you crashed into Juliy here." Neptune said and Julio's left eye twitched but no one noticed. Hazel however, burst out laughing.
"Juliy? Hahahaha." She said laughing for a good minute before calming down. "Juliy really? I always prefered Pineapple Hair myself."
"Hey!" Julio protested before smirking. "How about I call you that Hazel?"
"On second thought Juliy isn't bad." Hazel said shutting up.
"That's what I thought." Julio said smirking. "Anyway we're at the duel arena because Noire wanted to see more about dueling and I think you should see it too."
"Alright but it better be worth my time." Blanc said simply as they walked to the entrance. They walked in and the other worlders were amazed at the sight inside. There was various stands that sold cards and food and even a hall of fame that various pictures of various people of varying ages. They noticed Julio was on there which surprised them.
"Woah how'd you get here?" Neptune asked in surprise.
"Oh I won a small tournament for my grade nothing big." Julio said shrugging. "I typically lose the big ones though."
"Oh like that big one you have in about a month?" Neptune asked and Julio nodded. Everyone except Hazel and Compa was confused by the tournament that she mentioned.
"Oh yeah. You guys don't know what we're talking about." Julo said in realization. "I'll explain later." The three nodded at that and followed them into the arena itself which had several fields with a large track for riding duels. There was several different duels going on. One involved a large dragon with five heads going up against a swordsman in purple armor with a giant sword. Another had a giant moth monster fighting a giant black dinosaur. But the one that caught Julio's eye was a familiar redhead going up against a random guy.
"Alright Blizzard Princess wipe him out!" Kila declared as a girl with blue wearing blue and white robes with a large staff that seemed to be made out of ice sent a literal blizzard at the poor guy who was sent flying. Kila flipped her hair over her shoulder and smirked at her win and then she noticed Julio and the others approaching and smiled before running over with the hologram fading away.
"Julio! Good to see you're okay." Kila said relieved giving him a quick hug which he returned. "I saw that duel on TV."
"I figured you did. Guess some introductions are in order-." Julio said letting go of her but was cut off by Hazel running over and hugging Kila.
"Kila! I missed you so much you have no idea!" Hazel said happily.
"Hazel? When'd you get back?" Kila asked as she returned the hug.
"Today." Hazel said getting out of the hug. "I ran into Julio and his duel spirits the park and he dueled against this guy in a black cloak."
"You dueled another one?" Kila asked turning to Julio who nodded.
"Yeah during that I met Noire here." Julio said turning to the girl.
"Pleasure to meet you my names Noire." Noire said introducing herself.
"Oh name's Kila nice to meet you." Kila said politely. "Who are these two?"
"I'm IF. I was the one with Julio during that riding duel." IF explained.
"Ahh that's where I recognize you." Kila said nodding in recognition before turning to Blanc. "Who are you?"
"I'm Blanc. I just got here." Blanc said simply.
"Oh, wait so does that mean one of those guys is gonna show up soon?" Kila asked.
"Maybe." Julio said shrugging. "Still I need to find someone to duel because I want to show them more when it comes to dueling and test out what Blanc can do. I'm gonna go to the challenge board."
"Challenge board?" Neptune questioned as Julio walked to a large screen nearby.
"It's where you look for someone here that's looking for a duel or leave a challenge for others yourself. The challenge is taken off the board when you leave or take it off yourself." Kila explained.
"Why doesn't he duel you instead?" Noire asked.
"We have a agreement where we avoid dueling each other while our decks are going under some major changes. Like with you guys." Kila explained. "We'll duel each other when we feel our decks are ready." Julio walked back over with a small grin.
"Found someone. I'm gonna meet them over at field C soon." Julio said.
"Did you see the name?" Hazel questioned.
"Yeah it was Simon Adams." Julio said which caused a look a blush to appear on Kila and Hazel's faces. "You know him?"
"Yeah he's uh pretty handsome!" Kila giggled. "I dueled him last week and he was a complete gentleman!"
"Same!" Hazel said equally excited
"In love?" Julio asked getting a bonk on the head from Hazel and Kila. "Ow! I'm just messing with ya!"
"Never joke about that with a girl." Kila said glaring at him and he then noticed the other girls nodding in agreement and glaring at him.
"Okay geez sorry!" Julio said confused and a bit scared and turned to Kila. "Anything on his deck?"
"Yeah he uses goblins." Kila said. "But his real strength comes from this xyz monster of his."
"Goblins huh?" Julio muttered to himself. "Shouldn't be too hard to beat."
"He had me on the ropes a lot due that xyz monster." Kila stated. "Don't underestimate him."
"I never do." Julio replied. "I always be cautious no matter the opponent."
"Will Julio Shinku and Simon Adams come to field C?" A female voice said on the intercom. "I repeat will Julio Shinku and Simon Adams come to field C?"
"Well time to duel." Julio said moving to the field with the others following. They got to a field grass field and found a guy a little older than Julio waiting along with a male referee. He had sandy blonde hair and brown eyes and stood around 5'6. He was decently built and pretty good looking. He wore a blue jacket over a gray shirt and wore faded jeans and black converse. On his right arm he had a blue D-Tablet.
"Julio Shinku. I hear you're pretty strong." He commented.
"I am and I hope you're ready." Julio said smirking. The guy then noticed Kila and Hazel sitting on a bench on the sidelines.
"Oh hello Kila and Hazel." He said smiling charmingly.
"Hello." Kila said in a friendly tone.
"Hi." Hazel said in the same tone.
"Good to see you again." He said smiling revealing pearly white teeth. Julio was starting to dislike this guy.
"Same here." Kila replied.
"It's nice to see such lovely ladies. I believe you are here to cheer your friend on?" He asked gesturing to Julio.
"Yeah." Hazel said almost disappointed.
"Can we just duel already?" Julio asked getting annoyed. He gave the girls a glare and they smiled sheepishly.
"Fine." Simon said shrugging activating his duel disc which was a simple blue blade. The ref stepped up.
"Alright. Simon heads or tails?" The man said pulling out a coin.
"Heads." Simon answered. The man flipped the coin into the air and caught it before slapping it onto his wrist.
"It's head you decided who goes first." The man said.
"I'll let you take the first move." Simon said politely.
"Thanks." Julio replied. The two placed their decks into their slot and let it be shuffled before drawing their cards.
"Duel!" The two declared.

"I attack your Luster Dragon with Goblin Attack Force!" He declared causing the goblins to laugh as they sprinted towards the dragon.
"Trap Activate!" Julio said in response. "Shadow Spell!" Several chains wrapped around the goblins forcing them to remain in place. "Your monsters can't attack and they lose 700 ATK points."
Shadow Spell

ATK: 2300-700= 1600

"I could go directly for Dark Rebellion but that face down is worrying so I better not risk it." He thought to himself. "I attack Goblin Attack Force with Luster Dragon!"
"I activate my trap Attack Guidance Armor!" Simon said smirking as a demonic looking chestplate appeared on Dark Blade. "This forces you to attack a monster of my choosing and I choose Dark Blade!"
Attack Guidance Armor
Trap/Normal
"Ah crap." Julio said as Luster Dragon slammed his tail onto Dark Blade sending him out of the field and onto the ground destroying him.

Pot of Greed
Spell/Normal
"Thanks now I can activate this!" Julio said activating a trap. "Go Talisman of Reversal!" The trap showed two pairs of cards with one pair blue and the other red passing by each other with two glows of light in the background. "When you add cards outside of your draw phase to your hand I can draw cards equal to the amount in your hand. You have five so I draw five." He said drawing cards making his hand six.
Talisman of Reversal
Trap/Normal
"Fine but it won't save your life points! Goblin Black Ops attack him directly!" He said as the goblins rushed towards him.
"Go Counter Gate!" Julio said activating his trap. The gate appeared in front of him and blocked their attack. "When you attack me directly I can activate this trap and negate the attack plus I get to draw a card and if it's a monster I can normal summon it." Julio said drawing his card and looking at it before smiling. "I normal summon my CPU Noire to the field in attack mode." Noire smirked as she moved to the field turning into her full height.
"Time to show you what I can do." Noire said drawing a rapier.
"And I hope you give me a good fight." Simon replied giving her a charming smile that caused Noire to blush.

"Next her effect activates. I can add a quick-play spell to my hand from from my deck or grave to my hand. I'll add Ego Boost." Julio said revealing it to him.
"I set two face down and end my turn." Simon said slightly annoyed.
Julio LP: 3900 Hand: 7+1
Simon: 4000 Hand: 3
Turn 5
"I draw!" Julio said looking at the card and contemplated what to do next. "I don't have Share Crystal yet so I can't go for Black Heart yet. If his face downs are anything like his last one they could prove to be troublesome. I guess I gotta play it safe."
"You gonna go yet?" Simon questioned.
"I am. I summon my Alexandrite Dragon." Julio said summoning the gem dragon.
Alexandrite Dragon
ATK: 2000 DEF: 100
Level: 4 Light
Dragon/Normal
"Next I build the overlay network." He declared as a large portal appeared and the two dragons turned into spirits and flew into the portal. "I use my level four Alexandrite Dragon and Level four Luster dragon to xyz summon Zubaba General!" A large knight in white and gold armor and horns on his his helmet with a red cape appeared with an enormous broadsword sword to boot and two orbs of light circling him.

"Woah that guy looks a lot like Affimojas!" Neptune declared.
"Yeah except he probably isn't madly in love with busty blondes." IF muttered.
"You guys have weird friends." Kila said bluntly.
"Next I activate Zubaba General's special ability! By removing one overly unit I can equip a warrior type monster from my hand to him. And he gains ATK points equal to that monster's own ATK." Julio said as one disappeared. "I use my Command Knight! This allows my General to gain 1200 ATK Points." A astral image of Command Knight appeared above Zubaba General and phased into him causing fire to surround his sword making it deadlier than before.
Zubaba General
ATK: 2000+1200= 3200
OVU: 1
"Now that's some attack power." Noire commented.
"Yeah it's quite strong." Blanc said surprised.
"That's nothing you should see his two dragons! They're awesome." Neptune said grinning.
"Yeah. I'm a bit surprised he didn't go for that black one." IF commented. "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon right?"
"Yep and he likely didn't summon because he doesn't want to risk one of his best monsters yet." Hazel commented.
"Those two face downs are a problem and they could make summoning him a waste." Kila added. "He likely wants to keep him as backup."
"Oh yeah it's ability his really good for turning a bad situation around." IF said remembering the riding duel.
"Battle! I attack your Goblin Black Ops!" Julio declared.
"Go trap card Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!" Simon said grinning as a scarecrow made of what looked like a bunch if useless metal appeared and blocked the attack. "This blocks your attack and instead of going to the graveyard I can set it face down."
Scrap-Iron Scarecrow
Trap/Normal
"Won't block the next attack! Noire take out those goblins! And I'll activate Ego Boost from my hand raising her ATK by 1000." Noire smirked as the green aura surrounded her and at speeds Julio couldn't keep up with slashed the goblins causing them to explode.

"I now build the overlay network with my three monsters!" He declared as the portal opened again and the three groups of goblins flew into the portal. "The most powerful ruler of the deep sea! Your sharp fangs shall exterminate everything! Show yourself Number 32-Shark Drake!" A large shark-like monster but with four large fins appeared. It was had brown armor on it's body but the armor covering it's knees was orange and a pair of crystal looking sikes came out of it's shoulders and it's feet resembled a birds and it had the number 32 on it's chest. It had three blue orbs of light surrounding it. It let out a fearsome roar as it stared down Julio's monsters.

Sea Serpent/Xyz/Effect
OVU: 3
"Holy Nep!" Neptune said in shock. "That's terrifying."
"Relax it's not stronger than Zubaba General." Hazel pointed out.
"That's where you're wrong. I activate my face down Twin Twisters!" The card showed a pair of tornados destroying a landscape. "By sending a card from from hand to the grave I can destroy two spell or trap cards on the field and I'll take out that equip card and the face down on the left." Two twisters appeared and one surrounded Zubaba General causing him to grunt as it managed to put out the flames on his sword while the other surrounded the face down and caused it to spin in the air before shattering.

Zubaba General
ATK: 3200-1200= 2000
"Next I attack your Zubaba General with Shark Drake!" Simon declared causing the monster to roar as it rushed forward at fast speeds and slashed Zubaba general with it's fins causing him to collapse and shatter.
Julio LP: 3900-800= 3100
"Shark Drake's monster effect activates. Once per turn when it destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the graveyard I can remove one of it's overlay units and special summon that destroyed monster to your side of the field in face-up ATK position but with 1000 less attack points! And Shark Drake can attack again!" Julio's eyes widened as one of the orbs surrounding it disappeared and a vortex of water appeared and spat out Zubaba General who was disorientated and weakened.
Shark Drake
OVU: 3-1
Zubaba General
ATK: 2000-1000= 1000
"Now take out that general once more!" Shark Drake once again shot forward and slashed the general destroying him. Julio let out a grunt as he lost life points once again.
Julio LP: 3100-1800= 1300
"I discard a card from my hand in order to activate my trap Damage Condenser! When I take battle damage I can special summon a monster with ATK less than the damage I took in ATK position!" The card showed a large machine being charged with electricity. "I special summon Share Crystal!" The familiar blue crystal appeared and Noire smirked knowing what was going to happen.
Damage Condenser

ATK: 0 DEF: 2000
Level: 4 Light

"What are these monsters?" Simon questioned.
"That's for me to know." Julio answered. "Are you done?"
"Yes. I end my turn." Simon said annoyed.

Simon LP: 2800 Hand: 0
Turn 7
"I draw." Julio declared. "Now it's time for a little tuning! I tune my level four CPU Noire with my level three Share Crystal!"
"Time to slay this beast!" Noire declared as the Share Crystal turned into three green rings that encircled Noire as she turned into four stars.
"Goddess of the land of black regality! Come forth and show your strength to your foes synchro summon CPU Black Heart!" Julio declared as a bright light shot through the rings and Noire appeared transformed.
CPU Black Heart
ATK: 2400 DEF: 2000
Level: 7 Fire
Warrior/Synchro/Effect
"It feels good to be transformed." Noire sighed as she drew her sword. "Now prepare yourself."
"Your new appearance is quite beautiful and you look more mature." Simon commented causing Noire to flush lightly.
"Why thank you." She replied. "But compliments won't save you."
"Hey focus on the duel!" Julio shouted. "Now due to Share Crystal's effect I can draw a card since I used it for the synchro summon of a CPU monster!" Julio declared drawing his card. "Next Black Heart's effect! Since I used Noire as a synchro material she gains 400 ATK points till the end phase and can deal piercing damage as long as she's on the field."
CPU Black Heart
ATK: 2400+400= 2800
"Next my spell card Pot of Greed. I'll be drawing two." Julio said glancing at the cards and saw he draw Blanc but knew he should wait. "Next I activate my spell card Blustering Winds! With it I can raise the ATK and DEF points of a monster on my field by 1000 until my next standby-phase!" A powerful vortex of wind surrounded Noire who grinned as she felt more powerful than before.

ATK: 2800+1000= 3800 DEF: 2000+1000=3000
"Now I activate her other ability! By removing a quick-play in my grave from play I can destroy a card on your side! " Julio declared. "I remove Ego Boost from play and destroy Shark Drake!" Noire raised her sword and sent a sword beam at the drake severing it's head. "Now that he's out of the way Noire attack him directly and end this duel!" Before Noire could however a surge of electricity forced her to stop.
"What just happened?" Noire gasped as she fell to a knee.
"I activated my Electromagnetic Turtle's effect. By removing it from play from my graveyard I can automatically end the battle phase." Simon explained.
Electromagnetic Turtle
ATK: 0 DEF: 1800
Level: 4 Light
Machine/Effect
"And he ended up there when you used Twin Twister." Julio said causing Simon to nod.
"Yes. Now if you will." He said gesturing to Julio.
"I set two cards face down and end my turn." Julio said. "Black Heart now loses the boost from her effect."
CPU Black Heart
ATK: 3800-400= 3400
"This guys keeping Julio from attacking a lot." Neptune commented.
"Yeah his defensive abilities are keeping Julio from landing any good hits." Hazel said impressed. "It's part of the reason me and Kila struggled when we dueled him. Heck I lost."
"You did?" Compa said surprised.
"Yeah. Just barely mind you but still I lost." Hazel said shrugging.
Julio LP: 1300 Hand: 2
Simon LP: 2800 Hand: 0+1
Turn 8
"I draw!" He declared. "I activate Graceful Charity! With it I draw three and discard two!" He said drawing three. He then smiled at what he drew before sending two to the grave. "I sent Card of Compensation to the grave! With it I can draw two more!" He said drawing two.
Graceful Charity
Spell/Normal
Card of Compensation
Spell/Normal
"I activate my quick-play spell Shrink!" He declared. The card showed a tiny goblin under a microscope which then shot beam of light towards Noire who to everyone's shock shrunk to the size of a two year old.
"What in the world?" Noire said her voice high pitched. This cause Neptune to burst out laughing and Blanc to give a slight chuckle. "Oh ha ha! Enjoy it while you can."
"This spell allows me cut a monster's original ATK in half." Simon stated. "Though your monster still has that Blustering Winds card raising it's ATK."

OG ATK: 2400/2= 1200+1000= 2200
"But it won't save her!" Simon declared. "Because I activate Monster Reborn and bring back Shark Drake!" The spell caused a purple portal to appear in front of him and Shark Drake rose from it snarling which caused Noire to pale since it was glaring at her. "Go take out Black Heart." Shark Drake shot forward but Julio was ready.
"I activate my trap Negate Attack!" Julio shouted sending forth the vortex that forced Shark Drake to stop in it's tracks.

"I end my turn with a face down." Simon declared. "And Black Heart's ATK rises back up." Noire reverted back to her original size and sighed in happiness.

"I draw!" Julio declared. "Now Black Heart's attack returns to normal."

ATK: 3400-1000= 2000 DEF: 3000-1000= 2000
"There's not much I can do right now. Except...Well if there was ever a time." Julio thought glancing at Blanc. "I summon CPU Blanc to the field!"
"Guess I'm up." Blanc said and moved to the field changing to her full height of 4'6 and pulled out a enormous hammer.
CPU Blanc
ATK: 1400 DEF: 1800
Level: 4 Water
Warrior/Effect
"Blanc's monster effect activates! When she's normal or special summoned I can switch a monster on the field to defense mode!" Julio declared. "I'll be switching Shark Drake into defense mode!" Blanc then raised her hammer into the air and slammed it so hard into the ground a fissure appeared underneath Shark Drake and forced it to catch itself from falling. "Woah!" Blanc glanced at Julio and gave a smirk at his amazement.
"Impressed?" She asked.
"Yeah, you are really strong." Julio said in shock.
"Geez!" Kila cried out. "Now that's power!"
"You should see her in HDD she gets way stronger." Neptune said grinning.
"I just hope she doesn't get pissed." IF muttered.
"Why is she bad when angry?" Hazel asked curious.
"Yeah she starts smashing everything but there's one thing that sets her off more than anything else." Compa said in fear
"And that is?" Kila asked.
"She has a bit of a complex." IF said. "And well if you want to know what it is Kila just glance down."
Kila glanced down but only saw her chest leaving her confused before realization dawned over her. "Oh."
"Yeah." IF said. "She hates it."
"Why I mean doesn't she get bigger like Neptune does?" Hazel asked.
"No. At least not a lot." Neptune said before they felt a dark feeling that could only be described as pure rage. "Oh no we were talking a little too loud."
"Damn bastards mocking me!" Blanc snarled with her eyes covered by shadows and one glowing red eye. "When I'm done here you're next."
"Eep." The girls said in fear.
"Hey Julio summon that crystal so I can go HDD too!" Blanc snarled causing Julio to yelp.
"Y-Yes ma'am. I activate the effect my own Monster Reborn and special summon Share Crystal to the field in defense mode." The crystal appeared and Julio noticed a glow appear from his extra deck and he smiled. "Now it's time for another synchro summon!"
"Another?!" Simon said in shock.
"I tune my level four CPU Blanc with my level three Share Crystal!" Julio declared. The crystal turned into three rings that surrounded Blanc who turned orange and see through before turning into four stars. "Goddess of the land of white serenity! Come forth and show your unrivaled brute force to your foes! Synchro summon! Level seven CPU White Heart!"
A bright light shot through the rings and when it disappeared a woman with light blue hair that resembled Blanc's but had two long strands of hair that went from the side of her head to her stomach and pink-red eyes with power symbols in them. She wore a outfit that resembled a white bathing suit with blue lining and unattached sleeves with gauntlets over her hands. She was about five inches taller than Blanc was putting her at about 4'11.
CPU White Heart
ATK: 2350 DEF: 2800
Level: 7 Water
Warrior/Synchro/Effect
"Well good to see you've transformed." Noire said smirking.
"Yeah yeah yeah let's just smash this guy already." Blanc snapped drawing a massive axe with blue blades. "Now hurry it up!" She snapped at Julio who yelped again.
"O-Okay you don't have to be so mean." Julio said before returning to the duel. "Share Crystal's effect activates! Since I used it for the synchro summon of a CPU monster I can draw a card." Julio declared glancing at the card. "Next White Heart's effect activates! When I use Blanc as the synchro material she gains 400 ATK till the end phase and twice per turn she can't be destroyed by battle!"
CPU White Heart
ATK: 2350+400= 2750
"Battle!" Julio declared. "CPU White Heart attack his Shark Drake with Getter Ravine."
"I'll smash you to bits!" Blanc roared as she rushed forward and brought her axe down.
"I activated my trap Mirror Force. With it your monsters are done for!" Simon yelled. Blanc's axe collided with a barrier and it attempted to push her back. The card showed a barrier reflecting a energy attack in different directions.
Mirror Force
Trap/Normal
"You think so? Well unfortunately for you she has another ability that can prevent that from happening." Julio said smirking.
"What?" Simon said in disbelief.
"All I have to do is remove from play from my graveyard the type of card it is. Mirror Force is a trap so I banish my Counter Gate and prevent her destruction not only that but this also applies to all my other monsters." Julio shouted. Blanc yelled as she put more force into her attack and shattered the barrier. "Go finish off Shark Drake!"
"Take this!" Blanc roared as she slammed her axe so hard on Shark Drake she created a large explosion.
"Trap activate!" Julio said playing his face down. "Synchro Overlimit! When a synchro monster I control destroys an opponent's monster by battle it can attack again but it's destroyed after damage calculation. Next I activate my quick-play spell card Rush Recklessly! With it I can raise the ATK of one face-up monster till the end phase! I raise White Heart's!"

"Blanc finish him off!" Julio shouted.
"Got it!" She roared as she shot forward and slammed her axe into Simon's gut and sent him flying back reducing his life to zero.
~End theme`
Simon LP: 2800-3450= 0
Julio Wins
"Julio has reduced Simon's life to zero so he wins." The referee declared.
"He pulled it off and Blanc managed to vent a bit." Neptune said happily. "But we should watch what we say."
"Agreed." IF muttered with Compa nodding in agreement.
"Blanc you're awesome!" Julio said grinning.
"Tell me something I don't know." Blanc said still a bit angry. "But thanks for the compliment."
"You really shouldn't be so angry with him. He did nothing wrong." Noire pointed out.
"Fine fine." Blanc muttered. A flash of light occurred and they were back in chibi mode. "And we're back to this."
"Get used to it." Julio said shrugging. "This is gonna happen the whole time you guys are here."
"Good point." Blanc sighed. Julio then noticed Simon getting up and walked over to him.
"Hey good duel." Julio said grinning and held out his hand.
"Thanks." Simon said shaking his hand. "Hope we can duel again."
"Same here." Julio said letting go of his hand.
"Well you should probably run." Simon said looking behind me.
"Why?" Julio asked a sense of foreboding coming over him.
"Well you just used some new cards that have never been seen before and well you know how the community reacts." He pointed out. Julio turned around and saw a crowd running over and blinked.
"Hey Kila, Hazel!" Julio shouted. "See you guys later but we gotta go!" Julio ran away with the spirits following him as he began to run outside.
"Think he'll be okay?" Kila questioned as the crowd ran past them.
"Yeah. He's really lucky so he should get away without too much trouble." Hazel said watching as Julio and the others ran out the exit. "Wanna go get something to eat? I'm buying."
"Sure." Kila said as they began to walk to the exit.
AN: This took a while to type not because it was difficult but I may or may not have gotten lazy. Part of the reason this took a while is because I had a bit of difficulty coming up with a deck to use but decided on what we got for this duel. Don't worry I plan on using a better deck for next chapter. I'm not entirely sure what but I'll figure something out. Next chapter will be interesting since it will have Julio meeting Doku.
So let's move onto the reviews.
Kamencolin: I have an idea but it's still in the air. Also thanks for the review it's appreciated.
MaxGundam1998: Thanks for the review.
Guest Quest: First off thanks for the improved card effect descriptions. The only problem I see is that you forgot that the ATK boost on Noire's card lasts only till the end phase but that's my fault for not listing it. Also I meant it to be CPU Power Up I thought I fixed it but I guess not. Also I think I'm going to change it so that it selects a random one. And sadly no I don't have someone to look over the chapters for errors yet but I am thinking of finding someone that could help with that.
1. As you can see I did so with this chapter sorry for not properly understanding what you meant.
2 and 3. I also took your advice and added the destruction effect to Noire to help make her a bit more unique and as for the avoid destruction thing I'm thinking it over but I'll decide soon enough. As for Blanc do you like what I did with her effect to avoid destruction and do you think there could be more or a little less or do you think it could be nerfed a bit. As for Vert I'm still thinking about it.
4. That's the idea but the relationship between the two of them likely won't start really developing like halfway through this fic.
5. Those are pretty good ideas actually. I actually have something planned for Dark Rebellion and Clear Wing akin to that of Odd-Eyes Rebellion. I even got an idea for Dark Rebellion and the CPUs. Thought it would be hard for Julio to obtain Starving Venom since one of the biggest villains I have planned has him.
Now onto Blanc.
CPU Blanc
Level 4 Water attribute ATK: 1400 DEF: 1800
Warrior/Effect
If this card is normal or special summoned you can change one ATK position monster on the field to DEF mode. If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect you can add one Share Crystal to your hand from your deck or graveyard.
CPU White Heart
Level 7 Water attribute ATK: 2350 DEF: 2800
Warrior/Effect
Requirements: One Share Crystal + One or more Non-Tuner CPU or Maker monsters.
If you used CPU Blanc as a synchro material this card gains 400 ATK until the end phase and up to twice per turn cannot be destroyed by battle as long as it stays on the field. Once per turn when your opponent activates a card effect that would destroy a CPU or Maker monster(s) on the field you can banish a card from your graveyard matching the card and they are not destroyed(This applies to all CPU or Maker monsters on the field.) If this card is sent to the graveyard you can 1 Share Crystal or CPU or Maker monster from your graveyard to your hand.
So what do you all think? Let me know in a review.
Also a little something special: Me and a friend were going on about our favorite duels in Yugioh and I thought I should let you guys know so I'm gonna tell you my favorite in each series and a little bit on why I like them.
DM
Yugi/Atem Vs Kaiba(Battle city): The duel I consider to be the best rival duel we've ever had and a long awaited rematch. It had two god cards going at it and a great finisher with Yugi wiping out all three of Kaiba's Blue Eyes simultaneously like how he did in their very first duel.
GX
Yugi Vs Jaden/Judai: The only time two protagonists have ever dueled and it was a good one. While there is debate about whether it actually happened it doesn't stop this from being very entertaining and I always liked how it taught Jaden to remember to enjoy dueling like he did at the beginning of the series.
5ds
Yusei Vs Placido: A weird choice when you consider Yusei Vs Zone and Team 5ds vs Team New World but this duel this the one I remember the most likely due to the fact it introduced my favorite monster of all time and my favorite theme in all of Yugioh. Plus I always like seeing characters who considers humans as lower than them getting absolutely wrecked.
Zexal
Kite/Kaito Vs Yuma(Final duel): Not much to say about this choice but it was nice to see Yuma never beat Kaito in a duel. Just proves that Kaito was one of the best duelist Zexal had to offer.
ARC-V
Yuya vs Reiji(Second duel): Now this was awesome. Seeing these two finally have their rematch was nice to see. It had great moments from each of them and the way Reiji got the win was very satisfying. Plus if I remember correctly there was actually no action cards used during this duel which is probably part of the reason I liked this duel so much because we didn't see Yuya be so overly reliant of them.
Now that that's out of the way let's move on to a question I have for you guys. In the original Yugioh we got introduced to something I always found interesting. Deck Master. I always liked the idea of it so I'm asking you guys. Would you like to see this make an appearance in the future? I would very much appreciate feedback on this idea.
Anyway that's all I got for now so I'm gonna go ahead and the whole feedback thing.
Please leave a review with your thoughts, ideas, and favorite parts. If you have any deck suggestions that Julio should go up against than feel free to suggest it. Custom card ideas are also welcome. Any constructive criticism is appreciated but flames are not.
Next Chapter: Next Goddess and a Startling Meeting.
