The group pulled in front of Dan's house and Julio switched off his D-Wheel and took off his helmet and shaking his head to fix his hair. Koneko hopped off and stretched before removing her helmet. The girls floated off the bike with Neptune and Vert getting out of Julio's pockets.
"Well we're here." Julio said placing his helmet on his bike. The blue blob from before quietly got out of the small compartment and hid in a bush without them noticing.
"He has a nice house." Blanc commented.
"I agree." Noire said as they went to the door and Julio rung the doorbell. Almost immediately it was opened by Dan.
"Good you made it on time." He said and Julio rolled his eyes.
"Whatever I didn't even take that long." He said as he and his friends walked into the living room where Kila and Hazel were waiting. "Hey."
"We heard you got into another one of those duels but it looks like you're fine." Hazel said nonchalantly.
"Yeah I'm good. It was close but I pulled through." Julio said taking a seat. "Also we have a new friend." He said gesturing to Vert.
"Hello, my name's Vert." Vert said sitting down on the arm of Julio seat. At that moment Koneko jumped at Kila and tackled her off her seat.
"KILA! I MISSED YOU!" Koneko yelled happily.
"I missed you two now can you please get off me?" Kila gasped in pain. Koneko hopped off her and Kila stood up rubbing her shoulder. "Jeez be more careful would ya?"
"Sorry." Koneko said rubbing her head.
"Anyways Dan since you haven't met them these four arrived recently." Julio said getting to the newer arrivals.
"I'm Noire." Noire said proudly.
"Blanc." Blanc said simply.
"Name's IF." IF said politely.
"It's nice to meet you all." Dan said before turning to Julio.
"Anyway back to why you called me over. Any ideas who could be our fourth team member?" Julio said changing the subject.
"I thought of Hazel but I forgot she doesn't like participating in tournament." Dan admitted.
"Yeah sorry." Hazel apologized.
"It's fine." Julio replied. "We still got time to find somebody that can take the last spot."
"Alright so let's talk about who handles what then." Kila said. "For riding duels, it goes without saying that Julio is the best here."
"I agree Julio can handle those rounds." Dan said in agreement. "For normal duels, we can alternate between who deals with those and for action duels you're our best Kila."
"We still have to take into consideration tag duels. Who out of us will be the best team?" Julio pointed out.
"So far me and you since you've gotten those new synchro monsters." Dan replied. "Speaking of which how has your deck come along?"
"Honestly...Not that good. The monsters are powerful but I only have one option to bring them out." Julio explained. "I'll need to find a way to get more cards to improve my deck but till then I'm stuck with a basic synchro deck with a couple xyz monsters."
"Oh!" Vert spoke up. "I nearly forgot Histoire had a message for you."
"Does it involve these?" Julio asked taking out the blank cards.
"Yes. According to her, those cards will eventually turn into actual cards in time." Vert explained. "When they do appear they will fit well and synergize with us."
"Good to know. But how long?" Kila asked.
"According to her three days." Vert said causing Neptune to sigh.
"Always three with her." Neptune muttered and the others sighed in agreement.
"Well till then let's test them out more." Dan said rising up. "Julio I want to see first hand how strong they are in a duel."
"Are you challenging me?" Julio grinned. "Fine, I've been wanting another round anyway."
"Wait we're dueling Dan?" Neptune said in surprise.
"This is actually a good idea. I've been curious about what are new allies can bring to the table." Noire said.
"I agree. Seeing what they all can do would be fun." Vert said.
"Just try not to hurt each other." Compa said.
"I doubt they will Compa." IF said reassuringly. They then followed the two out the back door into a large backyard. Julio and Dan took out their decks and handed them to each other to shuffle.
"What are they doing?" IF asked.
"Shuffling each other's decks. They do it as a sign of respect so you definitely won't see them do it against any o0f those cloaked guys." Kila answered. The two finished and placed their decks into their D-Tablet before walking to opposite ends of the backyard.
"Shockwave level B?" Julio asked and Dan nodded as they set it to that level.
"Shockwave damage?" Vert asked curious.
"Yeah, there are three levels. C is the lowest where there's next to no pressure at all. B is medium with some pressure on the duelist's body and A being the highest so a lot of pressure is put on the duelist. It adds more realism to the duels." Kila explained.
"This is pretty advanced stuff." Noire commented.
"Nepgear made some stuff like that once but it ended up being a bit too much on the person she tested it on and the lowest level was somehow worse than the highest level." Neptune said.
"Yeah, she has a lot of hits and misses with her little devices." IF muttered.
In Neptune's World
"Achoo!" A girl that looked like an older version of Neptune sneezed startling the girl next to her that looked like a younger Noire.
"You okay Nepgear?" The girl asked.
"Yeah I'm fine Uni I just got the feeling someone's talking about me." Nepgear said. Uni shrugged before returning to her work.
Back to the duel
"I challenged you so you can take the first move." Dan said as he drew five cards and Julio did the same.
"Thanks just hope you don't regret it." Julio said smirking. They activated their duel disks with Dan's being a dark green color.
"LET'S DUEL!" The two declared.
Julio LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Dan LP: 4000 Hand: 1

Dan LP: 4000 Hand: 5+1

"I draw. I activate the spell card Speed Draw! Since I control no cards I can draw two cards but I need to send a Speedroid monster from my hand to the grave. I send my Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice to the grave." He said drawing his cards and sending named card to the grave. "Next I summon Speedroid Double Yoyo!" A large robotic yoyo appeared with spikes on its discs and crackled with electricity. "Via its effect, I can special summon a level three or lower Speedroid monster in my grave I'll special summon the Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice I sent to the grave!" A yellow dice with a giant red eye on one side and glowing red orbs circling it appeared.

"You're right Noire. I tune my level four Double Yoyo with my level one Red-eyed Dice." Dan declared causing the dice to turn into one ring that surrounded Double Yoyo turning him into stars before a pillar of light shot through the ring. "Synchro summon! Hi-Speedroid Chanbara!" A large monster with the lower body of an enormous blade like vehicle and wielding two swords.

"Ge-Ge would like to see this." Compa commented
In Neptune's world
"Achoo!" Nepgear sneezed again.
"Nepgear are you getting sick?" Uni asked.
"No Uni I feel fine I just feel got the feeling I'm missing something cool." Nepgear said with a look of deep thought.
Back to the duel
"Yeah, she'd be all over that thing." IF said with a smile.
"I attack your face down with Chanbara!" Dan said and the machine rocketed forward ready to attack. "Next his effect activates at the start of the damage step he gains 200 ATK points!"
Hi-Speedroid Chanbara
ATK: 2000+200= 2200
The monster brought it's sword down on the face down but was held back by a large broadsword wielded by an elf warrior with yellow hair and a purple cape.
"Nice try but my face down monster was my Obnoxious Celtic Guardian and he can't be destroyed in battle by monsters with 1900 or more ATK points." Julio grinned.
Obnoxious Celtic Guardian
ATK: 1400 DEF: 1200

"Next I tribute my Celtic Guardian in order to special summon Turret Warrior!" Celtic Guardian faded away and a large monster with heavy armor and two turrets on its arms appeared with a large crash on the field.
Turret Warrior
ATK: 1200 DEF: 2000
Level: 5 Earth
Warrior/Effect
"Turret Warrior's effect. Since I used a warrior type monster for it's special summon it gains the ATK of the monster's original ATK so it gains 1400!" Julio declared as a glow surrounded Turret Warrior.
Turret Warrior
ATK: 1200+1400= 2600
"Now Turret Warrior attack Hi-Speedroid Chanbara!" Turret Warrior shifted it's guns and aimed it at Chanbara before firing a storm of bullets at it. Despite its efforts to avoid the attacks, it was eventually brought down by the gunfire causing it to crash to the ground with an explosion.
Dan: LP: 4000-200= 3800
"I end my turn with that." Julio grinned.
Julio LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Dan LP: 3800 Hand: 4+1
Turn 4
"My turn draw!" Dan said before looking at the card. "I activate the spell card Speed Recovery!" The spell showed what looked like a giant dart moving extremely fast. "With it I can special summon a Speedroid monster in my grave and I'll bring back Chanbara!" A portal opened in front of Dan and the machine shot through at such fast speeds it was a blur.
Speed Recovery
Spell/Normal
"Next I summon Speedroid Maliciousmagnet!" A large magnet with sharp blades appeared.
Speedroid Maliciousmagnet
ATK: 0 DEF: 0
Level: 1 Wind
Machine/Tuner/Effect
"Next its effect activates! When it's normal summoned I can use a monster on your side of the field for the synchro summon of a wind monster!" Dan said with a grin as the magnet shot electricity against Turret Warrior forcing it into the air as the magnet turned into rings.
"Okay, that's a bit OP!" Neptune exclaimed.
"Actually it's pretty balanced. It can only synchro summon with that effect and if Julio didn't have the right level of a monster on the field it's essentially useless." Hazel explained.
"I tune your level five Turret Warrior with my level one Maliciousmagnet!" Dan declared as Turret Warrior turned into stars before a light shot through the ring. "Synchro summon! Hi-Speedroid Kendama!" A large machine resembling a large blue sword with tops on it appeared through the light and rocketed to a stop in front of Dan.
Hi-Speedroid Kendama
ATK: 2200 DEF: 1600
Level: 6 Wind
Machine/Synchro/Effect
"Next I activate its effect by banishing a machine-type monster in my grave I can deal 500 points of damage to you!" Dan declared. "I banish Malciousmagnet!" Kendama fired a blue laser that connected with Julio and he grimaced but was fine.
Julio LP: 4000-500=3500
"Alright now Chanbara attack him directly!" Dan said and Chanbara began to move forward.
"Go Negate Attack!" Julio said playing his face down. The vortex of wind shot forward and forced Chanbara back. "This ends your battle phase."
"Fine, I'll set a card and end my turn." Dan said playing the face down.
Julio LP: 3500 Hand: 2+1
Dan LP: 3800 Hand: 3
Turn 5
"I draw!" Julio said.
Shard of Greed: 2 Counter
"Since Shard of Greed has two counters I can send it to the grave and draw two cards." Julio said drawing two before glancing at his cards and smirked. "Well, you wanted to see what they could right?"
"Yes, I did. Give me your best shot!" Dan said smirking.
"I summon CPU Neptune to the field!" Julio said playing her card.
"Ooh! Wish me luck guys!" Neptune grinned as she raced to the field turning into her full height along the field.

Share Crystal
ATK: 0 DEF: 2000
Level: 3 Light
Rick/Tuner/Effect
"I tune my level four CPU Neptune with my level three Share Crystal!" Julio said. The crystal turned into three rings and surrounded Neptune turning her into four stars. "Goddess of the land of purple progress! Come forth and help those you call friends!" A beam of light shot through the rings. "Synchro summon! CPU Purple Heart!" Neptune shot out of the light and landed on her feet transformed and drew her weapon.
"Alright, I'll show you the power of a CPU!" Neptune said confidently.
CPU Purple Heart
ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000
Level: 7 Light
Warrior/Synchro/Effect
"Wow! Neptune got older!" Koneko said in surprise. "And beautiful."
"Are you implying I wasn't beautiful before?" Neptune said turning towards her.
"No you are when normal but you're more cute than pretty when not transformed." Koneko said brightly.
"I can live with that." Neptune said with a smile.
"Next Share Crystal's effect activates when I use it for the synchro summon of a CPU monster I can draw a card!" Julio said drawing the card. "Next Purple Heart's effect. She gains 500 ATK till the end phase and can attack twice permanently! Also I equip her with Fusion Sword Murasame Blade in order to raise her attack by another 800!" Neptune swapped her sword for the other katana and she glowed as her power rose.

"Don't forget she can attack twice!" Julio said as Neptune slashed Chanbara causing it crackle with electricity before exploding. Dan raised his arms in defense as the force of the explosion buffeting him a bit.
Dan LP: 3800-1800= 2000
"I set a card and end my turn!" Julio said setting the face down. "Purple Heart now loses the 500 point boost.

"I draw!" Dan said before smirking. "Well, Julio I guess it's time to stop pulling punches and bring out the big guns."
"Bring it on!" Julio shouted.
"What?" IF asked.
"You'll see he's about to summon it." Hazel said with a grin.
"I summon the tuner monster Speedroid Tri-Eyed Dice!" A blue dice with three sides appeared with the glowing spheres around it.

"I'll special summon Speedroid Horse Stilts!" A robotic horse with blue stilts on it flew onto the field with a drift.

"Now it's time. I tune my level four Horse Stile with my level three Tri-Eyed Dice!" Dan said with a grin. The dice turned into three rings that surrounded Horse Stilts before turning it into stars. Julio began to grin in excitement as his heart began to race. "Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings. Strike down our enemies at light speed!" Dan chanted as a bright light shot through the rings. "Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 7! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" The light faded away to reveal a large dragon that glowed with light. It had blue, white and black scales on it's body and glowing eyes and green crystals that came out of it's lower body and two beautiful wings on it's back that matched the crystals. It roared with pride as it landed on the field.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000
Level: 7 Wind
Dragon/Synchro/Effect
"That dragon...It's beautiful." Noire said in awe.
"Yeah, that light it gives off." Vert said smiling.
"Wow!" Compa said her eyes sparkling.
"It's quite powerful too." Blanc said feeling it's aura of power.
"Be careful Nep!" IF called out.
"Got it." Neptune said but she felt uneasy.
"Wait it's a lot like Julio's dragon." Noire muttered.
"Yes, and it also resembles that fusion dragon." Vert brought up surprising Kila and Hazel.
"Wait what?" Kila asked in shock. "You didn't mention this." She said glaring at Julio.
"I kinda forgot." Julio shrugged. "We can talk about this later right now I have a duel to focus on."
"Now I activate my face down! Hi-Speed Re-Level!" Dan said with a grin. "By banishing a Speedroid monster in my grave I can target a synchro monster on the field and increase its attack by the banished monster's level times 500 until the end of this turn. I banish Hi-Speedroid Kendama! He's a level six so Clear Wing's attack increases by 3000!" Flames shot from Dan's grave and wrapped around Clear Wing causing it to roar.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 2500+3000= 5500
"Oh crap!" IF exclaimed. "It's way stronger than Nep!"
"Clear Wing attack Purple Heart!" Dan declared. Clear Wing roared as it shot high into the air. Its wings began to glow brighter before doing a flip in midair before spinning in a circle with green winds that soon turned orange from the flames surrounding Clear Wings and moved at incredible speeds that Neptune struggled to keep up with.
"Trap activate! Card Defense!" Julio said quickly. "By sending a card from my hand to the grave I can negate your attack." Several cards shot out and formed a barrier blocking Clear Wing's attack just barely holding it back. "Then I can draw a card." Julio said drawing is a card. "The card I sent to the grave was Card of Compensation so I can draw two!" He drew his two cards.

"I draw!" Julio stared down Dan. "I wish I could summon Dark right now but I don't have the ability to yet. Oh well." He glanced at his cards. "I activate my equip spell Fighting Spirit!

"Battle! Neptune take out Clear Wing!" Neptune moved forward and was about to bring her sword down when Dan reacted quickly.
"Go! Burning Sonic!" Dan declared. The trap showed a vortex of fire on it. It shot out flames that formed a barrier forcing Neptune back. "When a monster I control is attacked this trap negates the attack and increases that attacked monster's attack by 500 so long ass this trap is on the field!"

"I draw!" Dan declared. "I summon Speedroid Razorang." A large machine resembling a boomerang but with razor sharp blades spun onto the field.
Speedroid Razorang
ATK: 2000 DEF: 0
Level: 4 Wind
Machine/Effect
"When this card is normal summoned I can't attack with it this turn but that's not why I summoned it. Its effect allows me to target a face-up monster on the field and change this card to DEF mode and reduce that targeted monster's attack by 800! But I'm going to activate Clear Wing's effect! When a monster targets a level five or higher monster on the field with its effect Clear Wing can negate the effect and destroy that monster!"
"What does he accomplish out of that?" IF muttered.
"Simple when he destroys a monster with is effect he gains that monster's ATK!" Dan said with a grin. "Dichroic Mirror!" Clear Wing fired a burst of light that enveloped Razorang before it exploded and a green aura surrounded Clear Wing.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 3000+2000= 5000
"That's not good!" Vert exclaimed.
"But Jul-Jul can just use Nep-Nep's effect right?" Compa asked.
"No. Clear Wing can also negate the effect of a level five or higher monster when it activates its effect and it will gain the ATK of that monster as well." Kila explained.
"Oh no!" Compa said in worry. The other girls also gained a look of worry.
"Clear Wing destroy Purple Heart!" Dan declared and Clear Wing moved forward covered by the green winds again. "Hell Dive Whirlwind Slasher!" Clear Wing connected with Neptune who raised her sword and blocked the attack before an explosion occurred. Clear Wing flew out of the smoke and onto Dan's field.
"Nep-Nep/Neptune." The Neptunia girls cried out. However, the smoke cleared revealing Neptune to be fine.
"What?" IF asked.
"When a monster equipped with Fighting Spirit would be destroyed by battle I can destroy Fighting Spirit instead." Julio said with a smirk.
CPU Purple Heart
ATK: 3600-300= 3300
"You guys knew about it didn't you?" Noire deadpanned.
"Yeah sorry, we just wanted to mess with you!" Hazel said laughing.
"Just don't do that against one of the bad guys." Blanc said irritated.
"But you still take the damage." Dan pointed out.
Julio LP: 3500-1400= 2100
"I'm aware." Julio said with a smirk. "You done?"
"Yeah. I end my turn with a face down." Dan said setting the card and crossing his arms. "Clear Wing's attack now returns to normal."
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 5000-2000= 3000
Julio LP: 2100 Hand: 4+1
Dan LP: 2000 Hand: 1
Turn 9
"I draw!" Julio said. His heart thumped and he smirked. "You brought your dragon out...Time for Dark to come and play." He grinned causing Dan to smirk. "I summon Dododo Witch!" A woman wearing armor with a red cape and a horned helmet appeared wielding a staff.

ATK: 1200 DEF: 1600
Level: 4 Earth
Warrior/Effect
"Next to her effect activates. With it, I can special summon a Dododo monster from my hand to the field. I special summon Dododo Bot!" A large robot in red armor and wielding a large sword and shield appeared.
Dododo Bot
ATK: 1800 DEF: 1900
Level: 4 Earth
Machine/Effect
The two duelists hearts thumped and they grinned in excitement and for a brief second their eyes flashed the same color as their dragons. "Now I use my two monsters to build the overlay network!" The portal appeared before them and the two monsters flew into it causing lightning to strike down onto the ground. "Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Dark slammed onto the ground shaking and roared in a challenge to Clear Wing who responded with it's own roar.
"Finally you show up." Clear Wing growled.
"What ready to be destroyed again?" Dark snarled.
"Hey, you two cut it out." Julio and Dan shouted.
"Focus on the duel." Julio said glaring. The two dragons gave another growl before pacing their fields.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon
ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000
Rank: 4 Dark
Dragon/Xyz/Effect
OVU: 2
"Why would Julio do that though?" Noire asked. "He can't use Dark's effect against Clear Wing."
"He's got a plan." Koneko said simply.
"I activate my spell card Blustering Winds!" Julio declared. "I'll boost Dark's ATK and DEF by one thousand for until my next standby phase!" Winds rippled around Dark causing him to roar.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon
ATK: 2500+1000= 3500 DEF: 2000+1000= 3000
"Now I attack Clear Wing with Dark Rebellion!" Julio declared.
"I activate my trap Half Unbreak!" The card showed several bubbles being fired at a monster. "With it I can target one monster on the field and that monster can't be destroyed by battle and any battle damage I take is halved." A large bubble appeared around Clear Wing and Dark rushed forward and slammed his fangs into it. Dan flinched as he took damage.
Half Unbreak
Trap/Normal
Dan LP: 2000-500/2= 1750
"Fine but Neptune can still attack and she can attack twice!" Julio shouted as Neptune rushed forward and slammed her blade against the bubble unable to break it but still cause shockwaves to fly off towards Dan causing him to stumble back. She slashed it again and caused more to causing Dan to almost fall over.
Dan LP: 1750-300/2= 1600-300/2= 1450
"I set two cards and end my turn!" Julio said his grin widening. "I know what you have left...Give me all you got!"
Julio LP: 2100 Hand: 0
Dan LP: 1450 Hand: 1+1
Turn 10
"I draw!" Dan said as a wind swept over the field.
~Cue Yuto's Passionate Soul~
"I summon Speedroid Gum Prize." Dan said playing the card. A large mechanical canister appeared before transforming into a robot with the canister on it's back.
"Roll out." Julio muttered to himself.
Speedroid Gum Prize
ATK: 0 DEF: 800
Level: 1 Wind
Machine/Tuner/Effect
"Now I tune my level seven Clear Wing Synchro Dragon with my level one Speedroid Gum Prize!" Dan shouted. Gum Prize turned into a single ring that enveloped Clear Wing who soared high into the sky and turned into seven stars while Dan began to chant. "Spread those wings shining with scared light. Strike down your enemies with that radiance!" A beam of light shot through the ring. "Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 8, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!" a dragon that was slightly bigger than Clear Wing appeared that was glowing with light even more so than Clear Wing was. It's body was covered in shining crystals similar to Clear Wing but they seemed tougher and gave off far more light. It's wings had grown larger and were far sharper. "
Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500
Level 8 Wind
Dragon/Synchro/Effect
"I thought it was beautiful before...but this…" Noire said at a loss for words.
"It's far more powerful too." Vert said since the pressure it gave off seemed far greater than before.
"Next I activate the effect of Gum Prize. When it's sent to the grave as a synchro material for a synchro monster I can send the top card of my deck to the grave and if it's a Speedroid monster that synchro monster gains 1000 ATK!" Dan placed his hand on his deck and drew the card before revealing it to be another Razorang. "Yes! The card is a Speedroid monster so Crystal Wing gains 1000 ATK points!" A golden glow surrounded Crystal Wing causing it to roar.
Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 3000+1000= 4000
"Now Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon attack and destroy CPU Purple Heart!" Dan declared as Crystal Wing shot into the air. "Crystal Wing's effect activates when it battles a level five or higher monster it gains that monster's attack!"
Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 4000+3300= 7300
"7300?!" The non-battling CPUs yelled.
"Nep's done for!" IF shouted.
"Not only that but Jul-Jul's life will be zero if it goes through." Compa said in fear.
"Big bro!" Koneko shouted.
"I activate my trap Half-Shield!" The trap showed a shield with black and gold metal on one half and a clear glass on the other. "With it, I can halve the battle damage I receive!"
Half-Shield
Trap/Normal
A shield appeared in front of Julio who gave an apologetic look at Neptune.
"It's alright just beat him!" She said as Crystal Wing began to glow and fly through the sky at speeds she couldn't follow before dive-bombing her.
"Whirlwind Krystallos Edge!" Dan roared as Crystal Wing slammed into Neptune going clean through her.
"Th-That...Was quite...Painful." Neptune gasped as she exploded. Julio raised his arms as the shockwaves and smoke reached him causing him to cough.
Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 7300-3300= 4000
Julio LP: 2100-4000/2= 100
"I activate my trap Revenge Return. When a monster I control is destroyed by battle I can draw a card." Julio said drawing his card. The trap showed a monster in red armor reaching up with a golden light in its hand.
Revenge Return
Trap/Normal
"That definitely looked unpleasant." Vert said in shock at seeing Neptune destroyed like that.
"No damn shit! She was practically cut in half and she exploded!" Blanc snapped in just as much shock.
"Poor Nep-Nep." Compa said sadly.
"She's not dead but I do feel bad for her." Noire muttered.
"I hope Julio can pay Dan back for that." IF said slightly angered.
"I end my turn." Dan said before looking at Julio who still had excitement and determination in his eyes. "Now let's see how you turn this around."
~End theme~
Julio LP: 100 Hand: 1+1
Dan LP: 1450 Hand: 1
Turn 11
~Cue Swing Pendulum of Souls~
"I draw!" Julio yelled drawing his card. He looked at the card and the pieces fell into place and he smiled. "I activate Dark Rebellion's effect by removing two overlay units I'll cut Crystal Wing's attack in half and raise Dark's effect by that much! Treason Discharge!" Julio roared as Dark sent purple lightning at Crystal Wing.
"Are you stupid? You know Crystal Wing's effect! When a monster activates its effect he can negate and destroy that monster." Crystal Wing's wings glowed before sending a bright light that enveloped Dark before destroying him. "Then he gains that monster's original ATK." Crystal Wing's wings glowed brighter as a result. "You just sacrificed him for nothing."
Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 4000+2500= 6500
"You must be an idiot!" Julio shot back. "I know it's effect which is why I banish the Revenge Return that's in my grave. With it I can target a monster in my grave that was destroyed by a card effect this turn and of course I bring back Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Dark rose through a portal and roared. "Now I activate the quick-play spell card The Phantom Knights' Rank-Up-Magic Launch!" The spell showed a gray stone carved into the shape of a castle with blue fire underneath it.
The Phantom Knights' Rank-Up-Magic Launch
Spell/Quick-Play
"With it, I can target a Dark Xyz monster on my field with no overlay units and then special summon another Dark Xyz monster that's one rank higher from my extra deck and use the one I have the field as overlay units and this spell card as well! Also, the summon is treated as a Xyz summon!" Julio yelled. "I target Dark Rebellion!" A pillar of shadows hot over Dark causing Dark skin began to crackle and heat up causing Dark to roar. "From the depth of Purgatory. Dedicate to the restless soul with the song of revolution. Echo for eternity, and appear! Rank-Up, Xyz Change!" Dark's skin shattered revealing bone like armor underneath. "Come forth, Rank 5! Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon!" Julio roared his eyes now glowing like Dark's with Dan's eyes glowing like Crystal Wing's. Dark had now grown slightly larger and now had bone-like armor on it it's body, wings and, tail the orbs on his wings were now growing a brighter purple and had two bone-like swords on his wrist along with two horns on his head.
Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon
ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500
Rank: 5 Dark
Dragon/Xyz/Effect
OVU: 2
"He has an evolved form as well?!" Vert said in shock.
"Incredible." Noire said in awe.
"Dark Requiem's monster effect activates!" Julio roared. "By removing one overlay unit I can target a monster you control and change it's attack to zero and Dark Requiem gains ATK equal to that monster's original ATK!" The orbs on Dark's wings began to glow a multitude of colors before firing black tendrils that wrapped around Crystal Wing and bound it in place. "Requiem Salvation!"
Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon
ATK: 6500-6500= 0
Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon
ATK: 3000+3000= 6000
"Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon wipe him out." Julio roared which Dark returned as he flew into the air and into the clouds. Dark spread his wings which began to glow and emit energy alongside them causing an array of colors similar to those stained glass windows you'd see in a church to appear. The energy began to travel to the spearpoint on his chain and flapped down towards Crystal Wing.
"I banish the Tri-Eyed Dice in my grave to negate the attack." Dan said and the Tri-Eyed Dice flew up and formed a red barrier with the three orbs.
"Useless! I activate the quick-play spell Effect Shut! I negate the effect of you're Tri-Eyed Dice and destroy it!" Julio shouted and chains shot out and enveloped Tri-Eyed Dice forcing it back to the grave.
Effect Shut
Spell/Quick-Play
"Then I send Kuriboh to the grave to negate the damage." Dan said discarding the last card in his hand causing a small brown furry monster with large purple eyes and small green limbs to fly out.
Kuriboh
ATK: 300 EF: 200
Level: 1 Dark
Fiend/Effect
"That won't work either! I remove Dark Requiem's last overlay unit I can negate the activation of the effect and special summon an xyz monster in my graveyard! Return Dark Rebellion!" Dark Rebellion flew out of a portal that appeared in front of the Kuriboh and caught it in his mouth before crushing it in its jaws causing it explode. Dark Rebellion roared in satisfaction
"Holy crap!" Blanc said at the brutality.
"This isn't anything we've seen from Julio." IF said in shock. Kila and Hazel looked at each other.
"We'll explain when this is over." Kila said and Hazel nodded.
"Dark Requiem end this right now! Requiem of Disaster, Disobey!" Julio roared as Dark Requiem slammed its fangs through Crystal Wing causing an explosion. Dan flew back and onto his back as a result of the sheer force of it.
Dan LP: 1450-6000= 0
Julio Wins
Dark let out a triumphant roar before fading away. Julio panted before his eyes returned back to normal and he shook his head in confusion. Dan got to his feet and did the same his eyes back to normal.
"Good duel Julio." Dan said walking towards him.
"Thanks." Julio said with a grin. Neptune then popped up behind him. "Hey, you're back."
"Yep. Did you win?" Neptune asked.
"Yep." Julio responded.
"Awesome! I saw Dark for a while, then he left, then he came back again and then he left again." Neptune said. "I also ran into this scary guy with a giant scythe that looked like the grim reaper but a little beat down later and he left me alone."
"Cool." Julio said.
"Anyway care to explain what was with that?" Noire demanded.
"What do you mean?" The two said.
"You two were all vicious and your eyes were glowing!" IF exclaimed. Julio and Dan crossed their arms and thought about it before a light bulb appeared over their heads
"Oh yeah, that." Julio said scratching his head. "Sometimes that happens when our duels get intense and we give it everything we got. To be honest it hasn't happened in such a long time so I forgot it happens."
"Yeah." Dan said in agreement. "It's been what a year?"
"We'll explain more inside." Kila cut in. The girls nodded and the group followed Kila inside.
AN: And that's it. I wanted to add a bit more at the end but decided that this was good enough for now. So let's get to the reviews and I'll get to the little announcements.
Kamencolin: Thank you for the review. I already answered you in the review.
MaxGundman1998: Thank you once again for the review. I'll also answer the two questions you had again though.
1. Yes, he does have a high-level monster he can summon in his deck and no it's not Turret Warrior. I plan on showing it next chapter.
2. As you can see here he's fought Dan several times and the other one will be revealed in time.
Guest Quest:
1. Yeah, I plan on making some changes to Vert's ATK soon so don't worry about that. And thank you for the changes in Vert's effect I appreciate it.
2. I do have two ritual users planned for the future. One is, in fact, Black Luster Soldier.
3. Both actually. I have a few based on game companies and a few different ones.
4. It is complicated but I've got a few things worked out. As for what it is you'll have to wait and see. Plus I do plan on having the Deck Masters duels happen very rarely anyways it's not gonna have an entire arc like Duel Monsters did.
5. He isn't invincible and his first loss will happen eventually. Julio won't duel the next chapter actually I will be letting Kila duel.
6. That is the plan. I have one for each figured out just working on the names. The combining of the CPUs and Dark Rebellion will follow the latter of what you listed. Still working on the effects
7. Thank you. I appreciate you letting me use your card texts for the upcoming card guide.
8. This. Is. Perfect. I was trying to come up with something like this but I was stuck between two different ones. I actually have a new Maker monster planned that is an xyz monster so this will help a lot.
Anyway to the announcements!
First off I will be putting up another chapter soon because next month is the one year anniversary of my first story and I plan to make three chapter in a row as celebration so I plan to get the next chapter of this out before February ends or a little after it ends so I can leave you guys with something before I get to work on that.
The second is that I'm accepting OC submissions because I need a little help with coming up with some decks and characters for this story. I have major ones all planned out but I'm struggling to come up with some other duelists for Julio and his friends to duel not just in decks but in characters. So here is the little submission form.
Name:
Age:
Appearance:
Personality:
Small Backstory(Optional):
Decklist:
Playstyle:
Strategies:
Additional information:
Here are some additional things: They cannot have any relation to characters in the anime. Any decks that I listed in the previous chapter I plan to use cannot be used. They can be good or evil or neutral it doesn't matter. Odds are they'll lose so don't get upset about it. You can submit up to two and that's it. I'm not one hundred percent how much sure I'll accept but we'll see in the future. Also, you can submit it via review or PM I don't care which.
I actually have my first submission from Kamencolin. I'm not gonna spoil much but he uses a Utopia deck so I will not accept other OCs with that deck.
Also, update to the timeline.
Chapter 13: Doku's first full duel.
Chapter 14-16: Arrival of the CPU Candidates.
Anyway, that's all I have for now so time for the review 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: Magical Girls.
