AN: Hey guys got this done though it took me a while due to me trying to put more acton into this duel.

"So, what can we expect to occur in this duel?" IF questioned Julio as they drove onto the highway.

"Well, just be ready to be mobile a lot during this one." Julio said simply. "I'm not saying anything else."

"Why do you have to be vague now of all times?" Neptune said sweatdropping.

"I want to see your faces when we start." Julio said. "After all we are doing this for fun."

"He is quite right." Vert spoke up. "He is having a duel with a friend so there's no need to be so worried. After all he is much more experienced with this game and he knows what he's doing."

"True. It's not like our lives are in danger with this one." IF stated. "Unless she also triggers you like crazy."

"Nope. Only with Dan and that other guy." Julio said. "This should be a nice normal one." Before pausing. "What are the odds something will happen?"

"Very high." Neptune said cheerfully. "Don't worry I doubt the author has anything bad planned to happen to you just yet."

"Author? Bad planned?" Julio questioned growing confused. "Okay you're just confusing me and that's bad because I need to concentrate while driving."

"Yeah, Nep stop." IF said giving a slight glare.

"Fine, Fine." Neptune said with a smile. "I guess not everyone is capable of understanding what I'm saying."

"Indeed. Perhaps it'd be a good idea to explain it all to him eventually?" Vert suggested.

"I'd say that'd be for the best because Nep will just keep confusing him." IF replied.

"Oh by the by Juliy, I noticed that you used a Phantom something card back there and when we looked through those cards there were a few others. Any reason you don't use them anymore?" Neptune questioned.

"Oh, those." Julio said with slight fondness. "Well there hasn't been any new support released for the archetype in a while and I used to have a harder time pulling through duels so I eventually decided that I needed to change it up. I kept that quick-play for summoning Dark Requiem but I hardly get the chance to get him out lately."

"So if more support for that deck would come out would you use it?" IF questioned.

"Maybe. But I got a better one with you guys." Julio said as they got off the highway and arrived at the duel arena. He drove into the parking lot and was soon followed by the others in Dan's car. He turned off his bike and took off his helmet before shaking his head to fix his hair while the others got out of the car. Julio switched off the D-Wheel while Dan turned off his car and locked it. "Alright let's get inside and hope that people don't swarm me like yesterday."

"I'm sure you'll be fine." Dan said rolling his eyes as they walked towards the entrance with the spirits floating along. The group walked in and almost immediately a group of duelists swarmed Julio who let out a small yelp. "Or maybe not…" The group of duelists began to ask Julio various questions and even request to duel him.
"I'm sorry but I've already promised to duel one of my friends so maybe next time." Julio said getting groans of disappointment. "You guys can watch if you want to see my cards in action so bad." This caused the group to feel excited and moved apart for Julio and his friends to pass."Let's get to the desk."

"Geez if I could touch these guys…" Blanc muttered.

"They were getting a little too close for comfort." Noire sighed.

"Can't blame them. When new cards that have never been heard of before just pop up out of nowhere people are bound to be curious." Julio said shrugging.

"I can understand where people come from. When I hear news of a new game I become curious and try finding out all I can about it." Vert stated. Julio walked to the desk and was immediately greeted.

"Hello! How can I help you?" The woman said kindly.

"Yes. Is the action field available?" Julio questioned. The woman checked her computer and nodded.

"You're in luck. The last duelists just finished." The woman stated. "All I need is your name and the person who you will be dueling along with the pick of the dueling field."

"Okay, it's Julio Shinku and Hazel Bell." Julio said and she typed them in. "As for the field...Let's go with random."

"Very well, go ahead and head to the field." The woman instructed and Julio nodded and went to his group of friends.

"All set we just need to get to the field." Julio said and led the way to the field. They walked into a separate room with two sets of stairs leading to the spectator's seat and a set of doors then stopped.

"Alright let's head to the spectator seats." Dan said causing Kila to nod and take Koneko's hand who turned to Julio.

"Good luck big bro!" She said giving him a warm smile before they went to a set of stairs. Julio and Hazel walked through the doors with Neptune and the others into a large room with black floors and a spectator area where the group of duelists before along with their friends sat. Julio and Hazel pulled out their decks and handed them to each other to shuffle before handing them back to each other.

"I do like that little exchange of respect they start dueling." Vert said with a smile. The two took separate spots in the area as the Solid-Vision System began to activate and in a flash of light, the two stood in a large circus-like location with several platforms and large floating balls. Julio and Hazel now stood in the center on a large colorful platform and Neptune let out a sound of shock.

"Nepu?!" She exclaimed. "How did this happen?"

"The Solid Vision System set this up for an Action Duel. Remember how I said we gotta stay mobile?" Julio questioned getting a nod. "Well in this type of duel there's gonna be several cards spread out over the field called Action Cards and duelists will be able to physically interact with their monsters. We can use those Action Cards at any point in the duel if the situation calls for it. The two duelist can compete to get the same action card so you have to be fast and agile which is something Hazel has over me."

"What you're not in shape?" Noire questioned.

"I'm in great shape!" Julio protested. "I can run pretty fast but I'm just not agile and she has acrobatic training."

"In this field that will give her an extreme advantage." Vert noticed. "But we can interact with you correct?" Julio nodded and she smirked. "Then simply summon us and we'll be more than capable of assisting."

"I guess." Julio replied before turning to Hazel as an orb of light generated in the sky and began to fill with Action Cards. "You ready Hazel?" Julio said with a grin.

"Always"" Hazel shouted matching his grin.

"ACTION…" The two shouted. "DUEL!"The orb in the sky explodes sending Action Cards across the field shocking the girls who hadn't seen a duel like this. The two then took off running once again surprising the girls who raced to keep up with Julio.

Julio LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Hazel: LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Turn 1

"Since you challenged me, I'll go first!" Julio declared. "I'll start things off by summoning my Command Knight to the field!" The female knight appeared and moved alongside her duelist and gave him a nod.

Command Knight
ATK: 1600 DEF: 1900
Level: 4 Fire
Warrior/Effect

"I'll set a card and end my turn." Julio said setting the card.

Julio LP: 4000 Hand: 3 Set: 1
Hazel LP: 4000 Hand: 5+1
Turn 2

"I draw!" Hazel said glancing at the card and grinned. "So these girls haven't seen Pendulum monsters right?" Julio gave a nod and her grin widened. "Good then allow me to introduce you to it." She said taking two cards from her hand and showing them to Julio. "With the Scale 8 Metalfoes Steelen and Scale 1 Metalfoes Silverd I set the Pendulum Scale!" She played both cards on the field and the words 'Pendulum' spread across the disc.

Metalfoes Steelen
ATK: 0 DEF: 2100
Level: 2 Fire
Scale: 8/8
Psychic/Pendulum

Metalfoes Silverd
ATK: 1700 DEF: 100
Level: 3 Fire
Scale: 1/1
Psychic/Pendulum

Two monsters riding on vehicles appeared in two pillars of light. The first monster rode on a red motorcycle and was dressed in a red and black jumpsuit and had the number 8 underneath him while the other appeared to be female who wore a similar jumpsuit but rode a jet light vehicle and had the number one under her. "Now I can simultaneously summon monsters from levels 2 to 7. Pendulum summon! Appear level 7 Metalfoes Volflame!" A bright orange light shot from a large portal that appeared and cleared away to reveal a large orange vehicle with a pilot in a cockpit. The vehicle had two large cannons on the side and drove around at high speeds and Hazel grinned at the girls widened eyes.

Metalfoes Volflame
ATK: 2400 DEF: 2000
Level: 7 Fire
Scale: 8/8
Psychic/Pendulum

"What the Nep?" Neptune shouted first.

"How did she do that" Noire demanded.

"That was Pendulum Summoning." Julio said smiling at their reactions. "See those two in the glowing pillars? Those are Pendulum monsters. They're special since they can not only be placed in the normal monster zone but also the Pendulum Zone. While in the Pendulum Zone they are treated like spell cards and use their Pendulum ability and they can be used for a Pendulum Summon where they can summon monsters between the scales of the monsters in the Pendulum Zone. In this case, it's between 1 and 8 so she can special summon monsters from 2 to 7 simultaneously once per turn from either her hand or extra deck."

"That's busted!" Neptune complained.

"Some would agree but it's a bit balanced." Julio said. "You see her hand gets depleted quickly when she does it."

"Still that's just unfair." Neptune muttered.

"Hey, who knows what those blank cards are? There could be some Pendulum monsters in there." Julio pointed out. "But let's focus on the duel."

"Now I attack Command Knight with Metalfoes Volflame!" Hazel shouted and the machine began to charge it's cannons and Julio acted quickly spotting an Action Card on a nearby platform and quickly hopped from platform to platform and grabbed the card.

"Action Card-Illusion Dance! With it, all Attack Position monsters on the field are changed to Defense Position!" Command Knight and Metalfoes Volflame began to dance which drew small giggles from the Neptune and Compa. "Until the end of the turn, all Attack Position monsters changed to Defense Position return to Attack Position."

Illusion Dance

Spell/Action

"Fine, I end my turn with a face down." Hazel said setting the card and the two monsters switched back to Attack.

Julio LP: 4000 Hand: 3+1 Set: 1
Hazel LP: 4000 Hand: 2 Set: 1
Turn 3

"I draw!" Julio declared. "Haven't summoned him in a while...Screw it this is just for fun." He thought to himself. "I summon Rose, Warrior of Revenge!" The female ninja jumped from the sky onto a platform.

Rose, Warrior of Revenge
ATK: 1600 DEF: 600
Level: 4 Fire
Warrior/Tuner/Effect

"I tune my level 4 Command Knight with my level 4 Rose, Warrior of Revenge!" Command Knight jumped into the air and turned into four rings that enveloped Command Knight. "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! Come forth. Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!" The dragon appeared with a roar and floated near Julio's platform and acknowledged his duelist with a small nod.

Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend
ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500
Level: 8 Dark
Dragon/Synchro/Effect

"Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend attack Metalfoes Volflame!" Julio declared. "Infernal Crimson Hell Burning!" Julio shouted as Scarlight fired a stream of fire from his mouth toward the Metalfoes monster. Hazel looked around and saw an Action Card far away but she simply smirked and jumped onto Metalfoes Volflame who took off towards the card allowing her to jump off and grab the card while doing a roll. She stopped herself and played the card.

"Action Spell-Miracle! With it battle damage is halved and Metalfoes Volflame isn't destroyed!" A red barrier surrounded the vehicle which swerved in front of Kila to shield her from the flames but a few stray embers hit Hazel causing her to grunt.

Action Spell-Miracle
Spell/Action

Hazel LP: 4000-600/2= 3700

"I end my turn with that." Julio said.

"Hey, why didn't you use Scarlight's effect?" Neptune questioned.

"Scarlight can only destroy special summoned effect monsters. Her monsters are normal and can't be destroyed by his effect." Julio explained.

Julio LP: 4000 Hand: 2 Set: 2
Hazel LP: 3700 Hand: 2+1 Set: 1
Turn 4

"I draw!" Hazel declared drawing her card before grinning. "I summon another Metalfoes Silverd!" The monster flew in and floated above her giving her a salute. "Next I activate Metalfoes Fusion!" The spell card showed Silverd being surrounded by green and silver armor about to equip to her. "With it I can I can fusion summon using Metalfoes monsters in my hand or on my field!" A portal on the ground and Volflame drove into it while Silverd flew into it. "Vanquisher of the vanished! Become one with the soldier who flies at lightspeed! Bring forth a soldier who flys with grace!" The portal flashed and Hazel cupped her hands together. "I fusion summon! Metalfoes Mithrilium!" A blur flew out of the portal and stopped above Hazel. It was Silverd but she was wearing a silver flight suit with green outlines and a faint red glow around her and she dual wielded a pair of plasma pistols. "Good to have you Mithrilium." The monster nodded before glaring down Scarlight.

Metalfoes Fusion
Spell/Normal

Metalfoes Mithrilium
ATK: 2600 DEF: 1000
Level: 6 Fire
Psychic/Fusion/Effect

"This reminds me of your guy's HDD form a bit." Julio muttered to the girls who considered that.

"Next using the set pendulum scale I'll pendulum summon the two monsters I used for her fusion summon both in attack mode!" The two monsters shot down from the sky. "The fusion summoning has just begun! I activate Fusion Substitute!" The spell Polymerization in a small portal. "With it I can fusion summon using monsters on my field!" The two monsters flew into the portal once more. "Vanquisher of the vanished! Become one with the soldier who flies at lightspeed! Bring forth a soldier who pierces through all defense!" The portal flashed and Hazel cupped her hands together again. "I fusion summon! Metalfoes Orichalc!" From the portal came another person but this one was a male in a similar body suit to Silverd and Volflame but had a golden suit on and wielded with two large wheels on his back and he wielded a pair of yellow plasma swords. He landed next to Hazel and saluted.

Fusion Substitute
Spell/Normal

Metalfoes Orichalc
ATK: 2800 DEF: 2200
Level: 8 Fire
Psychic/Fusion/Effect

"Neither is strong enough to take Scarlight down you know?" Julio pointed out.

"I know so I have a plan but first I activate Metalfoes Fusion's effect. If it's in my grave I can shuffle it into my deck and draw a card." She said as the card ejected from her grave and she placed it into her deck causing it to shuffle before she drew her card.

"Geez, this girl's good." Blanc grumbled.

"Indeed. She got out two powerful monsters." Vert replied.

"Yeah. She's a lot stronger than she believes she is." Julio said. Hazel then to his shock sprinted towards an Action Card on a small pillar and in a blur she was carried by Mithrilium to it. She grabbed it and hopped onto the small pillar giving a smile to Mithrilium.

"Action Spell Victory Topping!" The spell showed a V with the stars. "With it I can target a monster on the field and it gains 600 points, also I can change a monster on my opponent's field to defense mode! I'll raise Orichalc's attack and switch Scarlight to defense." A V appeared on Orichalc's chest causing a golden light to surge around him while Scarlight roared as he was bathed in red light and forced to land.

Action Spell
Spell/Action

Metalfoes Orichalc
ATK: 2800+600= 3400

"Oh by the way. Orichalc makes it to where if a Metalfoes monster attacks a defense position monster it deals double piercing damage."

"Wait so that means…" Noire began.

"Yep." Julio said as he searched for an Action Card and noticed one was on a floating ball several feet away and let out a small growl knowing he couldn't get there in time.

"Metalfoes Orichalc attack and destroy his Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!" Orichalc rushed forward using his suit to increase his speed greatly and charge towards the dragon.

"I activate the trap card Card Defense!" Julio declared playing the trap. "I discard a card from my hand and I can negate an attack from a monster." Several cards shot out and protected Scarlight from Orichalc's attack causing the Metalfoes to jump back towards Hazel. "Next I draw a card." Julio said drawing his card.

Card Defense
Trap/Normal

"Fine Mithrilium attack Scarlight and finish the job." Julio looked around and let out a sigh before jumping off his platform onto a ball and began to hop along them to the Action Card he saw earlier. "Oh no, you don't!" Hazel shouted and nodded at Orichalc who raced towards the ball and just before Julio could grab the card the ball was struck by Orichalc and the card flew away as a result.

"Crap!" Julio swore and managed to correct himself and land on his feet at the bottom and looked up to find Mithrilium firing a burst from her blasters at Scarlight. "I activate the effect of the Relinkuriboh that I sent from my hand! When a monster I control would be destroyed by battle I can remove it from play instead!"

"But you still take the damage." Hazel pointed out as Relinkuriboh appeared from a portal and endured the attack from Mithrilium but a couple grazed Scarlight who roared.

Julio LP: 4000-100x2= 3800

"Maybe so but do keep in mind next turn Scarlight will wipe out your monsters!" Julio shouted from down below.

"Go ahead and try." Hael replied. "I end my turn."

Metalfoes Orichalc
ATK: 3400-600= 2800

Julio LP: 3800 Hand: 2+1 Set: 1
Hazel LP: 3700 Hand: 1 Set: 1
Turn 5

"I draw!" Julio declared looking at the card and blinking. "I switch Scarlight back to attack mode." Scarlight spread his rings and let out a roar. "Next I activate his effect. Once per turn I can destroy all specially summoned monsters on the field with less attack than his own and deal you 500 points of damage for each destroyed." Scarlight began to generate flames in his arm. "Absolute Power Fl-" Julio began but was cut off.

"Action Spell Zero Penalty!" Hazel declared playing the spell which showed a red zero. "With it I can target a monster my opponent controls and make it's attack zero!" A zero flashed above Scarlight causing him to growl as it's power weakened and though the flames collided with Hazel's monsters it hardly affected them. "Since your dragon's attack is zero it doesn't affect my monsters."

Zero Penalty
Spell/Action

"When did you?" Julio began.

"When Orichalc sent that Action Card flying and you were protecting your dragon I had Orichalc bring me to that Action Card." Hazel explained.

"Smart play." Julio grunted. "I activate my spell card Reinforcement of the Army! With it, I'll add CPU Vert!"

Reinforcement of the Army
Spell/Normal

"Well looks like I'm up soon." Vert said with a smile.

"I summon CPU Vert to the field." Julio said and Vert jumped onto a platform and turned to her full height and pulled out her spear. A few guys in the audience let out a couple of whistles causing Vert to wink at the audience.

CPU Vert
ATK: 1500 DEF: 1000
Level: 4 Wind
Warrior/Effect

"With her effect since I summoned her she can target and destroy a set spell or trap card you control." Julio declared as Vert summoned a spear and fired it destroying it. "Next since I control a CPU monster I can special summon Share Crystal to the field." The blue crystal appeared.

Share Crystal
ATK: 0 DEF: 2000
Level: 3 Light
Rock/Tuner/Effect

"Next I tune my level four CPU Vert and my level three Share Crystal." Julio declared as th Share Crystal levitated towards Vert and she held it in her hand.

"I will show you the power of a CPU!" Vert declared as she placed over her heart causing a flash of green light.

"Goddess of the land of green pastures! Come forth and strike your foes with unmatched speed. Synchro Summon! CPU Green Heart!" The light cleared away to reveal Vert in her transformed state.

CPU Green Heart
ATK: 2400 DEF: 1800
Level: 7 Wind
Warrior/Synchro/Effect

"Did she get bigger?!" Hazel shouted staring at Vert's chest in shock

"Slightly." Vert replied.

"Can we change the subject?" Julio asked noticing Blanc was getting angry. Hazel noticed too and nodded.

"Yeah let's move on." Hazel said.

"Green Heart's effect activates. If she's synchro summoned using CPU Vert she gains 500 ATK till the end of this turn and can attack all monsters you control once permanently." Julio declared as a faint green glow appeared around her. "Next Share Crystal's effect! Since I used it for the Synchro Summon of a CPU monster I can draw a card." He drew his card and glanced at it.

CPU Green Heart
ATK: 2400+500= 2900

"Now I attack Metalfoes Orichalc!" Julio declared and Vert rushed forward with her spear. He noticed Hazel moving for an Action Card and looked at Scarlight who gave a nod before firing a weak stream of fire stopping Hazel just before she could reach it. "No you don't!"

"Damn it." Hazel grumbled as Vert slashed Orichalc causing him to explode.

Hazel LP: 3700-100= 3600

"I activate Orichalc's effect! When he's sent to the graveyard I can target a card on the field and destroy it!" A burst of fire in the shape of Orichalc erupted from a small portal and flew towards Vert.

"I activate my face down Effect Shut!" Julio shouted playing the card. "When an opponent activates a monster effect I can use this card to negate the activation and destroy it." A steel cage covered the flames preventing it from rushing forward and dragged it back to the grave. "Vert destroy Mithrilium!" Hazel looked around in desperation and saw an Action Card up on a small trampoline and grinned as she hopped from the small platform she stood on and sprinted towards it. Julio noticed this and ran towards it as well. Mithrilium evaded Vert's blows and fired a stream of plasma shots at Julio who yelped and rolled to the side behind a small pillar and peeked around to see Hazel grabbing the Action Card on the trampoline before using it to jump on a small metal platform.

"I activate the Action Spell Wings of Dimension!" The spell showed a pair of blue wings. "With it I target Mithrilium and this turn she can't be destroyed by battle or card effects." A pair of wings appeared on Mithrilium and folded around Mithrilium to protect her from Vert's blow but the force of it sent Mithrilium crashing into the ground.

Hazel LP: 3600-300= 3300

"I set two cards face down and end my turn." Julio said and the faint green aura surrounding Vert faded away.

CPU Green Heart
ATK: 2900-500= 2400

"You appear to be in a predicament." Noire muttered to Julio. "Scarlight's attack is zero and she'll likely pendulum summon again."

"Don't worry I have something planned." Julio replied.

Julio LP: 3800 Hand: 0 Set: 2
Hazel LP: 3300 Hand: 1+1
Turn 6

"I draw!" Hazel shouted before looking at her hand. "I use the set Pendulum Scale to summon once more!" Hazel shouted as a blue portal opened once more above her. "I'll summon forth Volflame and Silverd once more!" The Metalfoes appeared and glared down Julio and his monsters.

"Again?" Neptune muttered annoyed.

"You should get used to it. Her strategy revolves around this." Julio replied.

"Next I activate Pendulum Card Burst!" The spell showed to crystals being destroyed and two glowing blue cards falling from the sky. "With it, I can destroy two Pendulum Monsters I control in order to draw two cards." The two Metalfoes shattered allowing Hazel to draw two.

Pendulum Card Burst
Spell/Normal

"Next I summon Metalfoes Steelen to from my hand." The Metalfoes rode in and came to a stop beside Hazel. "Next I activate Pendulum Fusion with it I can fusion summon a monster from my extra deck using monsters I can control, but if I have two cards in my Pendulum Zones I can fusion summon using them as well. I'll fuse the Metalfoes Steelen on my field with the Metalfoes Steelen and Metalfoes Silverd in my Pendulum Zone!" A large swirling portal appeared and the three monsters were engulfed in it. "The power of the three soldiers shall become one! Bring forth the ultimate soldier who's fire burns hotter than his allies!" She cupped her hands declared. "I Fusion Summon! Metalfoes Crimsonite!" The new Metalfoes came out of the portal and crashed onto the ground. It was a large mech suit and inside was the person who previously was in Volflame. It was large but not quite Scarlight's height but it was just as powerful.

Pendulum Fusion

Metalfoes Crimsonite
ATK: 3000 DEF: 3000

"That's not good." Julio said.

"I sure do hope you have the means to counter this. Otherwise, it's game over." Hazel said with a grin.

In the stands

"Wow, Hazel sure isn't holding back." Dan commented.

"Yeah at this rate she'll summon all her fusion monsters." Kila added.

"She may be good but big bro can win this." Koneko said pumping her fists with her cheeks puffed. "Come on big bro take out those fusion monsters!"

Back in the duel

"Now I attack Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend with Metalfoes Crimsonite!" Hazel shouted. Crimsonite raised his arms and aimed at Scarlight before forth a large stream of fire that engulfed Scarlight who roared. "Looks like this duels almost do-" She cut herself off when she noticed Julio's life hadn't dropped. "Wha-?"

Cue Yugioh 5ds Unleash Force

The flames that engulfed Scarlight were blown apart by an enormous force produced by Scarlight who roared and spread his wings. He now had red and orange armor over his body and legs with a matching gauntlet on his injured arm and armor on his tattered wings.

"How is he not destroyed?" Hazel demanded.

"Why don't you take a look?" Julio said with a smirk and she noticed a trap had been activated and her eyes widened. "I activated a little trap known as Assault Mode Activate!" The trap showed a duelist with a large pillar of light behind him. "With it I can tribute a Synchro Monster on my field and special summon an Assault Mode monster whose name includes the tributed monster's name. Meet Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend Assault Mode!" Scarlight roared his power echoing through the field.

Assault Mode Activate

"Fine, I'll just attack Vert instead with Crimsonite!" Hazel shouted and Julio looked around and spotted an Action Card near where they started and sprinted towards it as Crimson fired another stream of fire at Vert who avoided the attack narrowly and fired several summoned spears in an attempt to hold Crimsonite back. Hazel noticed Julio's movements and hopped onto the trampoline below her in order to jump towards the center while Mithrilium rained bullets at Julio only for Scarlight to interfere and knock her onto the ground with a crash. Julio and Hazel landed on the platform and ran towards the Action Card and just narrowly snatched it before looking at the card and playing it.

"I activate Battle Change! With it during your battle phase when your monster attacks I can change your target to another. I'll change Crimsonite's attack to Scarlight!" Crimsonite struggled as his mech went haywire and focused on Scarlight before firing a stream of fire which Scarlight responded by raising his armored claw to block before rushing forward and grabbing the mech and slamming it onto the ground. "Incinerate it! With Extreme Hell Burning!" Scarlight roared as he fired flames from his mouth much more powerful than before causing an explosion that destroyed a few nearby pillars.

"I'll explain after this duel." Julio replied. "It's my turn! I draw!

"I activate my face down Dimension Guardian!" Julio declared playing the trap which had a humanoid monster wielding a large golden key. "With it I can target an attack position monster I control and it can't be destroyed by battle or card effects so long as this is on the field."

Dimension Guardian
Trap/Continuous

"Why activate that now?" Hazel questioned.

"Because now I can activate this bad boy's effect." Julio said gesturing to Scarlight. "I activate Scarlight's effect! Each turn I can destroy all specially summoned monsters on the field and deal 500 points of damage for each one!" Scarlight roared as it began to generate flames that burned brighter than before with his right hand. "Absolute Power Flame the End!" Scarlight fired the flames and Hazel looked around quickly for an Action Card and spotted one near her and quickly grabbed it before grimacing. The flames collided with Mithrilium who screamed as she was incinerated and the flames continued as they grazed Hazel who grunted.

Hazel LP: 2800-500= 2300

"Next Scarlight attacks you directly!" Julio declared and Scarlight fired a stream of flames from his mouth and engulfed Hazel. However, she surprised him by jumping out of the flames completely unharmed.

"Action Spell Big Escape!" Hazel shouted revealing the card she picked up. "This card automatically ends the battle phase!" The spell showed a girl jumping out of a chained box with swords in it.

Action Card Big Escape
Spell/Action

"I set a card and end my turn." Julio said.

End theme

"This dragon of yours is very powerful." Vert commented.

"Yeah, a lot more powerful than anything we got back at Gamindustri." Neptune said cheerfully.

"He's strong but Hazel's counterattack is gonna happen soon." Julio said on alert and ready to run.

Cue Yugioh ARC V: Cornered Duelist

"I draw!" Hazel shouted drawing her card. "First I'll activate Pot of Riches!" The spell card showed a large golden pot similar to Pot of Greed but it was bigger and jewel encrusted. "With this, I can shuffle three Pendulum Monsters from my field, grave or face-up extra deck back to my deck and draw two cards. However, I cannot special summon except by Pendulum Summoning. I return two Metalfoes Steelen and one Metalfoes Silverd rom my extra deck to my deck." The three cards ejected from her extra deck and she placed them into her deck allowing them to be shuffled before drawing two. "I then activate Sacred Swords of Seven Stars!" The spell showed a golden sword and two cards. "By banishing a level seven monster from my hand or field I can draw two cards. I banish a Metalfoes Volflame from my hand." She then drew her two cards.

"I activate my trap card Talisman of Reversal. Since you added cards to you're hand outside of your draw phase, I can draw equal to the amount in your hand." Julio said drawing four cards.

"I had a feeling that was your face down." Hazel said slightly annoyed. "I set the Pendulum Scale with the Metalfoes Silverd I just drew and Metalfoes Goldriver!" The words pendulum flashed across her duel disc again and the two monsters rose to the sky in the blue pillars of light. Metalfoes Goldriver rode a golden ATV and wore matching armor. "Next using the set pendulum scale I pendulum summon from the extra deck Metalfoes Volflame in attack mode and Metalfoes Silverd in defense mode." The two Metalfoes appeared once again came to a stop beside Hazel.

"I then activate my equip play spell card United We stand and equip it to Volflame!" A red glow appeared around Volflame's vehicle and it revved louder than before. "You know full well what it does so I won't bother explaining it's effect." Hazel searched around and saw an Action Card near one of the destroyed pillars and sprinted towards it. Julio noticed and sprinted after her only for Volflame to come roaring towards him forcing him to move out of the way and Scarlight roared as he charged towards the Metalfoe and collided with it struggling to overpower it as it pushed back. Julio scowled when he noticed got the Action Card. "Action Spell Wonder Chance!" The card showed a pair of eyes winking and a mouth smiling brightly while wagging a finger. "With it I can target a face-up monster I control and that card can attack once again during each battle phase! I target Metalfoes Volflame." Julio tense and spotted an Action Card next to him and grabbed it.

"I activate the Action Spell Nanana!" The card showed a banana with a face on it bent sideways with stars around it. Neptune laughed at the sight of the card and Julio smiled. "Yeah, I laughed when I saw it too. Anyways with this I can target a monster I control and it gains 700 ATK for this turn."

"Then I'll just attack CPU Vert with Volflame!" The Metalfoes fired a stream of fire at Vert and Julio looked around for an Action Card and spotted one above him and tensed since there was no way he could get up there in time. He glanced at Vert and smirked.

"Vert!" Julio shouted gesturing to the Action Card. Vert avoided the fire and glanced towards the card and nodded before moving forward and scooping up the duelist and allowing him to grab the card before placing him down on a platform. "Action Spell Evas-"

"Action Spell No Action!" The spell showed a large green A with a red X over it. "This negates the activation of an Action Spell and destroys it." A green beam of light shot towards the card in his hand and caused it to shatter.

"Oh come on." Julio complained.

"Volflame continue your attack!" Hazel shouted and Volflame fired another stream of fire towards Vert. A green barrier appeared around her and protected her from the attack but the flames spread out and burned Julio who yelped.

Julio LP: 3800-1600= 2200

"Volflame attack her again!" Volflame compiled and fired flames at Vert and Julio looked around for an Action Card. Unfortunately, he couldn't spot one and sighed as the flames continued and slammed against the green barrier again and the flames burned Julio again who grit his teeth.

Julio LP: 2200-1500= 700

"I activate the effect of Fusion Substitute in my grave. With it, I can banish it and return a fusion monster in my grave to my extra deck and draw a card." Hazel said. "I return Crimsonite." She then proceeded to draw and then set the card. "I'll set a face down and end my turn."

"I draw!" Julio shouted and glanced at the card he drew. "I activate Scarlight's effect! Absolute Power Flame the End!"

"I activate Breakthrough Skill!" Hazel shouted and yellow glow appeared around Scarlight causing him to growl as he weakened. "I can target a monster on your field and negate its effects till the end phase."

Julio looked at his hand and contemplated his options. "I have Monster Reborn and I could summon Scarlight and go for game but there's the chance she could go for an Action Card and stop me from going for game. I have to find a way to keep her from going for one but there's too much stuff she could do to avoid it...wait...I got it!" He thought looking at his cards. "I activate Double Summon! With it I can summon twice per turn! I summon Dark Blade." The knight appeared and nodded to his duelist. "Then I activate Monster Reborn and special summon Command Knight!" The female knight appeared and drew her sword ready for battle. "Next I tribute my two monsters!" Julio shouted and the two monsters turned into sparkles before the ground began to crack. "Dragon of destruction hear my cry! Come forth and obliterate all that stands in your path!" Julio chanted and the monster rose from the ground. "Advance Summon! Gandora the Dragon of Destruction!" The dragon was a large blue dragon slightly smaller than Scarlight with blue scales and several red orbs lining its body and had to sharp spikes lining its wings and just as sharp claws. It let out a roar that shook the field before snarling at Hazel who paled.

"How many dragons do you have?" Noir demanded at the sight of the monster.

"Five." Julio replied. "Dark Rebellion, Dark Requiem, Scarlight, Assault Mode Scarlight, and Gandora here."

"Dude, don't you think that's a bit much?" Neptune said sweatdropping.

"I don't wanna hear that from you Ms. Pudding!" Julio shot back.

"Nepu?!" Her friends began to laugh at that.

"You deserved that." Blanc said laughing softly.

"Anyways, time to show why he's called the dragon of destruction!" Julio shouted. "By paying half my life points I can have Gandora here destroy all other cards on the field and if they are they're banished!" Hazel began to sweat.

"Why did I have to mention that card today?" She moaned tragically.

Julio LP: 700/2= 350

"Gandora! Destroy everything! Giga Rays of Destruction!" Julio roared and the dragon matched it with its own as rays of lights shot out from the orbs around it's body and struck the field, destroying several platforms and pillars in the process before a flash of light occurred that blinded those in the audience. The light faded with smoke trailing in the field with several destroyed pillars and platforms on the ground leaving the circus looking more like a wasteland instead. Julio and Hazel had jumped off their elevated positions and were surrounded by rubble.

"Vert!" The girls cried out.

"Why would you do that?" Noire demanded.

"Relax." Julio said as Vert was revealed to be fine. "That trap remember?"

"Oh yeah." Neptune said sighing in relief.

"I admit that was quite terrifying." Vert stated with a sigh of relief. "That dragon is quite something else."

"If I can avoid it there's no way I'd let you guys get destroyed whether it be real or fake." Julio stated as the rest of the field faded revealing Hazel's field to be completely empty while Julio's field revealed to have Gandora to still be on the field along with Scarlight though he was without his armor. "Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend Assault Mode's effect. When he leaves the I can special summon a Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend from my grave to the field. Also for every card destroyed by Gandora's effect, he gains 300 ATK! He destroyed six so gains 1800!" A red glow appeared around the dragon and he growled.

Gandora the Dragon of Destruction
ATK: 0+300x6= 1800

"I then activate my equip spell card Mage Power and equip it to Gandora!" The equip spell caused a glowing red aura to appear around Gandora. "With it, he gains 500 ATK for each spell and trap card on my field. I have one so that's 500!

Gandora the Dragon of Destruction
ATK: 1800+500= 2300

"2300?!" Hazel squeaked as she searched around for an Action Card and spotted one far on the other side of the field and attempted to run towards it but she realized there was no way to get there quickly and the destroyed rubble limited her movements and with no monsters to assist she was trapped especially since Julio's monsters were more than capable of stopping her.

"Gandora attack Hazel directly with Boundless Giga Rays!" Julio shouted and the dragon roared in response as more rays of light shot from the orbs once more and surrounded Hazel before causing an explosion that sent Hazel flying back.

Hazel LP: 2300-2300= 0

Julio Wins!

In the stands

"Alright!" Koneko cried out in happiness as the field faded away to its regular look. Several cheers from the crowd were let out as well.

"I forgot how terrifying Gandora can be." Dan said.

"Speak for yourself Mr. I can negate it easily!" Kila shot back annoyed. "Most of the time he brings him out I'm dead because I have to use my monster effect negation on Dark but every duel you got your dragons to deal with it!"

"I mean, true." Dan admitted.

"Come on, let's go congratulate them." Koneko pouted hopping from her seat.

On the field

"Aw, man." Hazel sighed as she stood up.

"Hey don't sweat it." Julio said walking to her as Vert reverted to her normal self and the girls followed. "You've still won more than me when it comes to Action Duels."

"I guess and this was a fun duel." Hazel said with a grin.

"That's all that really matters isn't it?" Julio said with a grin.

"Yeah it does." hazel said happily as they exited the field and were greeted by their friends.

"Nice duel out there." Dan complimented with a grin.

"Thanks." The two said with their own grin.

"Now let's bail." Julio said sprinting out of the room and to the entrance.

"Oh, right those duelists." Kila said before they followed after him. They quickly got to their vehicles with Koneko, Hazel, Kila, and Dan going in the car with Noire, Blanc, and Compa joining them again leaving Julio and the rest to take the runner and rove off when the group of duelist from before showed up and let out yells of disappointment.

A few minutes later

"Well glad we got away." Julio sighed as they pulled up at his house. His parent's cars were outside indicating they were home. He got off his D-wheel and switched it off. Koneko and the rest of the Neptunia girls exited the car while Kila, Dan, and Hazel stayed in the car. "I think I've had enough duels for today."

"You have dueled three times and all of them were intense in their own right." Vert stated.

"It is also pretty late." Dan said looking at his D-Tablet.

"How did it get late already?" Julio wondered out loud. "Well see you guys tomorrow I guess."

"Yeah say hi to your parents for us!" Hazel said.

"I will." Julio said and they drove off and he turned to Koneko. "Come on let's inside…" He trailed off as he heard a small noise from one of his compartments in his D-Wheel. He walked cautiously to it and slowly opened it and stared down at a small blue blob of goo in a teardrop shape that resembled a dog with a brown tail and matching ears and a dog like mouth with black button eyes looking up at him it's tail wagging slightly.

"GOO!" It exclaimed in a high pitched voice and jumped at his face knocking at him to the grass and began to lick his face rapidly.

"W-What is this thing?!" Julio said and managed to grab it and hold it in place causing it to pout. The Neptunia girls gasped.

"What's a Dogoo doing here?!" Neptune questioned in shock as Julio began to pat the Dogoo to its delight. He found that it was rather cold and smooth.

"Who cares it's adorable!" Koneko squealed as she scooped up the Dogoo and began to pet it softly getting a sigh from it.

"This is quite concerning." Vert said placing a hand on her chin. "If a Dogoo entered this world what are the odds of others entering?"

"Wait others, like those Ancient Dragons?!" Julio exclaimed.

"Yes. If those show up who knows what damage could occur?" Noire muttered worried.

"Okay let's discuss this later and discuss what to do with this little guy? Julio questioned.

"Well...Dogoo's are typically aggressive but there have been cases of friendly ones that can be kept as pets. It seems this is one of those cases since it seems to be quite friendly." IF stated.

"But they can be perverts." Compa said.

"How so?" Julio questioned.

"Just take our word for it." IF said shivering slightly and the rest of the Neptunia girls nodded. "They only go for girls though so you don't have to worry but keep an eye on it." They were about to head inside when Julio noticed something. A card that upon inspection was a Dogoo.

Dogoo
ATK: 0 DEF: 1000
Level: 1 Water
Beast/Tuner/Effect

"Well, now we have to keep this guy around." Julio said showing the card.

"I guess we do." Noire said looking at the Dogoo.

"I'll check what this guy can do later." Julio said before turning to the Dogoo. "Can you understand us?" The Dogoo nodded. "Okay are you a male or female? Shake head girl and nod for guy." The Dogoo nodded. "Okay good to know you're a guy."

"Now you don't have to feel too outnumbered!" Neptune cheered. Julio and the Dogoo looked at each other at that.

"You sleeping with me tonight?" He questioned and the Dogoo nodded at that. "Good I can introduce you to Thump."

"Thump?" Vert questioned.

"His pet rabbit." IF answered.

"Come on let's get inside already." Julio said and the group entered, however, they failed to notice the maroon and white D-Wheel near Julio's parent's cars. Once they entered they were greeted by Vanessa.

"Oh, you're back. Dinner's almost ready." Vanessa said kindly. "Also look who stopped by." A woman about 22 came out of the kitchen. She had shoulder-length maroon colored hair that covered her left eye but her right eye showed she had yellow eyes and was looked exactly like Vanessa minus the hair and eye. She was about 5'9 and was slender. She wore a white biker jacket with maroon stripes down her sleeves over a black shirt that showed her midriff slightly and wore white pants that were tucked into black and white boots. She wore a maroon D-Tablet on her right wrist and had a single white glove on her left hand. She had a slightly intimidating look to her but it faded slightly at the sight of Julio and Koneko and her face took on a small smile.

"Karina!" The two shouted and hugged her.

"Who is this?" Neptune questioned.

"Hey, little sis and bro." She said her voice slightly rough and gave Koneko a pat before grabbing Julio with her left arm and giving him a noogie to his dislike. "Still short, huh?"

"Do you have to bring it up each time?!" Julio whined separating from her and giving her a glare

"Yes." She said bluntly unfazed by his glare. "What's with the blue blob?" She questioned noticing the Dogoo.

"Oh." Julio said turning to him. "This is a Dogoo."

"Goo." The Dogoo said happily.

"Julio...What is that?" Vanessa asked a bit concerned.

"It's a new duel monster." Julio answered showing the card.

"So these duel spirits are those cards mother and father told me about." Karina said looking at the girls.

"Hello! I guess you're their big sister?" Neptune said cheerfully.

"Yes. I'm Karina." Karina replied.

"She taught me everything I know." Julio said. "Remember Scarlight?" The girls nodded. "She gave him to me."

"Wait you got him from her?" Noire asked in surprise.

"Yeah. She used to use him but gave him to me. I don't know exactly why." Julio said.

"I'll tell you eventually shorty." Karina said before rolling her eyes at his sound of protest. "Care to introduce yourselves?" Karina asked turning to the Neptunia girls.

"The name's Neptune! The protagonist of protagonists." Neptune said cheerfully.

"I'm Noire."

"My name's Vert."

"Blanc."

"IF."
"My name is Compa."

"It's a pleasure to meet you all." Karina said before turning to Julio. "May I see your deck? I'm curious about these cards" Julio nodded and handed her his deck. She studied it for a bit before handing it to him. "It's a good deck but there is a severe lack of support for these new monsters and the balance is a bit off"

"I'm aware." Julio said before bringing out the blank cards. "Apparently these will help." Karina studied them for a bit as well before handing them back.

"I can sense some power to them, not unlike your duel spirits." Karina stated. "Anyways, since I'm sure you two are wondering why I'm here, I'm here for the tournament that's coming up. I will be taking part in the exhibition match and watch you duel Julio. So I will be staying for a while."

"Wow, that's awesome!" Julio said with a grin.

"Who are you dueling?" Koneko questioned.

"You guys will see soon." Karina said. "Also Julio...I'll be checking your progress." Julio tensed slightly at that.

"Karina let's finish preparing dinner." Vanessa said and Karina nodded before following her into the kitchen.

"So what type of person is she?" Blanc asked Koneko and Julio who looked at each other.

"She can be a bit...Heated at times." Julio stated. "Though most of the time she's pretty relaxed about things. The only time you'll see her not be relaxed is during a duel."

"Yeah, then she goes all brutal and cold. Especially against duelist, she considers not worth dueling." Koneko stated. "When she goes up against someone who she thinks is worth it, she gets a bit excited."

"So how good is she as a duelist?" Noire questioned.

"I've never beaten her." Julio said surprising them. "Never gotten her life points below half too."

"Wow, she must be strong." Neptune said in awe.

"Yessy, Jul-Jul is super strong." Compa said. The rest of the girls nodded.

"I'm glad you guys have such a high opinion of me as a duelist." Julio said embarrassed.

"Of course we do. We've seen what you can do first hand." IF said.

"Thanks, I guess. Let's just wait till dinner's ready and relax." Julio said sitting down on the couch when to his surprise the Dogoo jumped on his lap with a happy noise. He blinked and decided to pet him making him even happier. "This is kinda nice."

"They are quite cute when they're not trying to attack you." Vert commented.

"And not getting into naughty places." Compa added.

"Okay are you guys trying to make me visualize that in my head? Because if you are stop it because that's a bit uncomfortable." Julio said blushing a bit.

"Yeah, you're making it awkward." IF said. "So what was that dragon that you used?"

"Gandora? I've had him for a while. He's not uncommon so odds are there are others that use him." Julio said. "I don't use him as often as Scarlight or Dark because I'm left open if I can't finish my opponent after using his effect because he gets sent to the graveyard at my end phase."

"Plus it drains half your life." Noire said catching on to what Julio was implying. "It can be quite a handicap."

"Yeah. But you have to admit it was awesome." Neptune said. "It was like a laser light show!"

"Yessy it was pretty." Compa said clapping her hands together.

"Minus the whole destroying everything part." IF said.

"It was quite the sight for me to see when I first used him in a duel." Julio said smiling at the memories. "Though if I recall Dark tells me that he's a bit uptight."

"He is." Dark growled in response.

"Oh hey! Haven't heard from you in a while." Julio thought.

"Those duels tired me." Dark said simply.

"Dinner's ready." Vanessa called and the group shot up at that excited except for Vert who looked confused.

"Is she that good of a cook?" Vert questioned.

"Yes." Was all they said. The group went into the kitchen to find Isaiah looking at a news report on his phone.

"What's up dad?" Julio asked sitting down at the table.

"Oh, that duel biker gang is getting worse." Isaiah said sighing. "Means more patrols."

"I remember them." Julio said frowning. "A couple members tried to intimidate me at the arena and I ended up turbo dueling them."

"They've started turbo dueling in the streets more frequently and Security has really been pressed to keep them in check."

"So let me guess? You want me to start being more careful in the future?" Julio asked.

"Please do." Vanessa sighed. "I really don't want a repeat of a couple nights ago."

"A couple nights ago?" Isaiah questioned and Karina looked curious as well. Julio gave a brief explanation keeping out the Darkness Duel part. "That's quite something."

"Yeah. Definitely wasn't those biker gangs." Julio said.

"Let's stop with this type of talk and eat shall we?" Vanessa said. "I made curry today."

"Heck yeah!" Julio cheered before turning to the girls. "Heads up...This is really spicy."

"Oh, how hot can it be?" Neptune asked as she received a plate.

"Okay don't say I didn't warn ya." Julio said as he received a plate and immediately began to dig in. Neptune shrugged and took a bite before letting out a scream.

"Holy Nep!" She said as her face began to redden. "W-Water, milk, anything!" Julio handed her a cup of milk and she gulped it down. He noticed his Isaiah's confused face.

"First bite." He said simply and he nodded in understanding. "I tried to warn her." The other girls faired better with their first bite but most of them still had to drink some milk.

"Wow, this is hot." IF said not fazed much. "But it's really good."

"Yessy." Compa said her face a bit red as she took a bite.

"Eh." Blanc said not fazed at all. "It's good but not that hot."

"I quite enjoy this." Vert said taking another bite. Noire didn't say anything but she seemed to be enjoying it. Julio finished his plate and felt a nuzzling on his leg and glanced down to see the Dogoo looking up at him.

"What is it little guy?" Julio asked and the Dogoo looked at his plate and let out a small goo. "You hungry little guy?" The Dogoo jumped at that.

"What in the world is that?!" Isaiah asked alarmed.

"This is a Dogoo. Another monster I found." Julio answered as he took the card from his deck and showed it to him.

"Hmm. I must admit this is different." Isaiah said. "But it is nice being able to actually see it." He said and smiled at the Dogoo. "Quite the cute little thing."

"I know right!" Koneko exclaimed.

"Anyways, what do I feed this guy?" Julio questioned.

"I'm not sure. Dogoos are typically away from populated areas so we never really see what they eat." Noire stated.

"Goo!" The Dogoo exclaimed and stared at the curry they were eating.

"Guess he wants curry." Julio said.

"It appears so." Karina stated. "Is this fine with you mother?"

"Yes. I'm curious about how it'll eat." Vanessa said and Julio got a small plate of curry and placed it in front of the Dogoo who sniffed it before hopping onto the plate and absorbing the curry into his and let out a sound of delight as it began to dissolve the food. "That is quite interesting to watch." With that done, Julio got another plate full and began to eat again.

"Now that I've gotten used to the spice it's really good!" Neptune said finishing her plate.

"Mom's cooking is the best!" Koneko said finishing her plate.

"I can agree with that. Nothing tastes as good as your cooking mother." Karina stated.

"Thank you." Vanessa said smiling happily. Karina finished her food and glanced at her D-Tablet.

"Well, I need to go to my hotel." Karina said rising up. "Thanks for the meal. I'll be sure to stop by tomorrow."

"Bye sis!" Julio and Konek said in unison. Karine responded by giving Koneko a pat and Julio another noogie.

"Oh, come the f*** on!" Julio snapped. A jar was in front of his face courtesy of his mother and he sighed and placed a dollar in it.

"You guys have a swear jar?" IF asked in surprise.

"Yeah. Karina and big bro can get sweary at times." Koneko explained but her voice dropped to a whisper. "But they only put money when mom's here."

"Bye." Karina said leaving the kitchen and walking out the door. Julio finished his curry and placed it into the sink.

"I'm gonna go feed Thump and get ready for my shower." Julio said. "Come on little buddy." Julio said to the Dogoo who bounced after him.

"He's already fond of it." Blanc noted.

"Yeah big bro loves anything animal related especially cute ones and since Dogoo is basically dog he loves it. He can act all tough but when it comes to cute things whether it be animal or person he breaks easy." Koneko stated. "That's why puppy dog eyes are super effective."

"Got that right." Isaiah and Vanessa said.

"That seems like it could be taken advantage of." Vert said a bit concerned.

"Maybe." Koneko said. "But I can keep him falling into bad things with my own puppy eyes."

"For as young as you sure know how to keep your brother in check." Neptune noted.

"If only I knew how to calm him down when he gets super competitive. Nothing gets him cooled down then except beating his opponent or the taste of defeat." Koneko sighed.

"Indeed. He gets it from this one." Isaiah said having put together what they were talking about despite not hearing the Neptunia girls patting Vanessa lightly on the back who blushed.

"What? I'd have thought he got it from your dad." Noire exclaimed in surprise.

"No dad was way too friendly during competitions to be competitive." Koneko explained since Isaiah couldn't understand them. "Mom on the other hand...She loved crushing her opponents in duels back when she was in the pro circuit where she met my dad. Karina is even worse at times."

"That's enough of that for now. It's best you girls get ready for bed." Vanessa said.

"Fine." Koneko sighed. "Let's go."

Meanwhile in Julio's room

"Thump, meet Dogoo." Julio said introducing the rabbit to the blob who approached each other slowly and carefully before giving each other a sniff. Thump seemed on a bit nervous while the Dogoo seemed a bit unsure. "It's okay I know it'll take a while before you become comfortable with each other." This continued for a bit before Thump hopped to his food bowl and began to nibble. "Well, he doesn't dislike you." He said to the Dogoo who looked up at him and wagged his tail.

"I'm still curious about how this thing appeared in our world." Dark spoke up.

"I am too but we'll have to ask Histoire about that." Julio said. "And she can't speak to us much."

"True." Dark conceded.

"Besides, I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually and there's no point on thinking about something if we have no idea how this whole dimension hopping thing works." Julio said shrugging. "We need to focus on the here and now since those cloak guys can attack at any moment."

"You make a good point." Dark sighed.

"You're thinking about that fusion counterpart aren't you?" Julio questioned.

"Of course. It's kinda important!" Dark snapped.

"I know. I just wish I could remember more about the other person." Julio sighed.

"How do you not remember?" Dark exclaimed. "You enjoyed dueling them more than anybody!"

"I just don't remember what they look like! Do you?" Julio growled.

"Of cou-...I don't...Why can't I remember!" Dark exploded causing Julio's head to ache.

"Ow! That hurt!" Julio snapped. "Oh well. It's not like we'll meet them any time soon...I jinxed it didn't I?"

"You need to stop." Dark said bluntly.

"Whatever I'm gonna take a shower." Julio sighed grabbing the clothes he set out and heading to the shower.

Meanwhile

"I told you to not engage him." Vernice said coldly to Doku who looked slightly guilty. "Now we have to keep you out of the plan to hide your identity."

"I couldn't help it...This desire to duel him overcame me." Doku stated. "But I will not disagree I should have kept myself in line."

"You're lucky you did it to also save your comrade otherwise I'd give you a punishment." Vernice sighed. "Since I have to alter the plan, I'll find you another mission to keep you busy."

"Very well." Doku said bowing before heading to the door.

"Doku." Vernice called to him and he turned around. "You will get the chance to duel him. I promise you this." He simply nodded before leaving and Vernice sighed. "I can't fault you for losing control...His influence is going to be a problem." Vernice said darkly to herself.

At the airport

"It feels good to be back." A teenage sighed as she exited the airport. "I wonder how they're doing?" She wondered before pausing. "I know you want to duel them but we need to get set up and get familiar with the city again before we can start looking for them."

"Lisa!" A voice called out and the girl turned to see an older woman running towards her and Lisa grinned as she hugged the older woman.

"Aunt Jen!" Lisa squealed hugging her.

"It's been so long!" The woman now named Jen sighed.

"I saw you last month." Lisa said rolling her eyes fondly. "But I'm glad to see you too."

"Let's head home. You must be exhausted." Jen said kindly.

"Like you wouldn't believe." Lisa sighed as she followed Jen to her car.

AN: This took a while. So what'd you guys think? I think I did a decent job for my first action duel but I promise I will get better in the future. Also sorry if the summon chants for the Metalfoes aren't very good because I have a bit of a problem with coming up with decent summoning chants. Also, what'd you guys think about the new little change to when the CPUs got HDD? If you guys like it I can change it up in previous chapters though I'll put more detail into it.

Anyways, I'm gonna get into what I have to say later but first let's go over the reviews.

FoxMan888: I already answered you but once again thanks for the OC.

MaxGundam1998: Already answered you but once again thanks for the review.

Guest: I would like to have a crossover but as my story is right now it's not ready for that. MaxGundam1998 did make a reference to my story in his fic so go check it out. As for Zarc: All I will say is that there will be a RAMPAGE when this story reaches that point.

Guest Quest: Thanks for the reviews

1. I like the chants you came up with for the monsters and the effects you came up with for Storm Cell and the Rank-Up-Magic. I really like Scardian Red Nova Dragon. It has a pretty cool chant and I love the detail you went into about why you named it this.

2. As you can see I've limited the use of banned cards a lot this chapter. You can expect more of this in the future.

3. I like the OC. No need to worry about the deck being competitive in the real world or something like that since as you said this is a story and I wouldn't want duels to be uninteresting. And as for the Signer dragons: Don't worry about it. I don't plan on including the Crimson Dragon and if I do only as a small reference if I decide to make a chapter where Neptune and the others learn about the old protagonists.

Now I'm going to go over the two new characters I introduced.

Karina will play a big role in the future and as man of you have probably guessed, it involves Scarlight. I will go further into detail when the time for that comes.

Lisa, as I'm sure you guessed, is the Odd-Eyes user. I always planned for her to be female to mix it up and I'm sure you guys are questioning why Julio referred to her a guy and that will be explained when I put the next chapter up.

Also, I made a small reference to Kamencolin's OC this chapter so small shout out to him.

Now regarding what I wanted to tell you guys: I'm gonna slow down on how much I get done in regards to my writing. Why? I'm currently getting ready for an SAT retake to see if I can get a better score than what I previously got and I have finals coming up so I have to put more time into studying and I'm graduating soon. Does this mean I won't work on my stories at all? Hell no. I'm still gonna work on this because I enjoy writing my stories but it's not on the very top my list of priorities right now and I won't get stuff done as quickly, but I promise when I get done I'll be back to writing more.

Now regarding next chapter, I'm gonna get started on a small card guide similar to how MaxGundam does it. I will also be making edits to other chapters regarding my custom cards. I'm not sure when I'll get done but expect it somewhat soon. Oh and regarding what the Dogoo will be able to do...I'll show that off next chapter.

Now for the custom card, I used this chapter.

Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend Assault Mode

Level 10 Dark Attribute ATK: 3500 DEF: 2500

Dragon/Effect

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except with Assault Mode Activate. Once per turn, you can destroy all Special Summoned monsters on the field and inflict 500 points of damage to your opponent for each destroyed. When this card on the field is destroyed, you can special summon 1 Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend in you're Graveyard.

Now the next chapter after the card guide: even if I wasn't getting ready for my tests and whatnot is gonna take a while regardless because I'm still working the custom cards I have planned. There's designs, personality and effects and the fact I want them to be good so it's a bit of work. Then there's the fact that the Odd-Eyes deck has tons of options for what I can do with it and you've got a pretty long chapter to write.

Now I do have a question for you guys.

What's your favorite Yugioh series and favorite character from it? I'm genuinely curious about you're guys favorites.

Mine's a tie between 5ds and DM. I always have a hard time picking between these two for a lot of reasons. Though I can say with certainty that my favorite characters are Yusei and Atem.

I have nothing else to say so let's get to the review thing.

Please leave a review or PM me with your thoughts, ideas, and favorite parts. If you have any deck suggestions that I should use in this story than feel free to suggest it. Custom card ideas are also welcome and so are OCs. Any constructive criticism is appreciated but flames not.
