And so three days passed…

Um Neptune what are you doing?

Starting up the chapter.

I can handle that.

But I want to do it! Please?

No.

PLEEEEEEASE?

No.

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSEEEE?

Okay fine! Geez just stop it's getting both too cute and annoying.

Yay! Anyways, three days have passed…

"Neptune!" A voice screamed as Neptune ran out of Koneko's room with a enraged Noire close behind. It was around four and as you can imagine Neptune had angered Noire somehow.

"I'm sorry!" Neptune shouted as Julio watched the display from the couch with a blank expression.

"Oh hello Julio." Vert said to him as she entered the living room with Blanc following.
"What did she do this time?" Julio questioned as he sighed.

"Neptune fell off the bed onto her." Blanc said floating onto the couch next to him.

"Right." Julio said unfazed by this. "I'm glad I'm already used to this at this point."

"Where did IF, Compa and Koneko go?" Vert questioned.

"Oh they went with my mom to the store." Julio answered. "They should be back in about an hour."

"Got ya." Noire yelled tackling Neptune to the ground.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to land on you!" Neptune squealed.

"Noire she apologized just get off her." Julio said walking over to the two. "You can't keep freaking out each time she does it."

"You'd be angry if it was always you!" Noire snapped. "I've dealt with this for years and it still frustrates me! It's never anyone else!"

"I get that but please just get off Neptune." Julio sighed and Noire sighed before getting off Neptune.

"Thanks Juliy. I'm sorry Noire." Neptune said apologizing again.

"Whatever just please avoid falling on me again." Noire sighed as she cooled down a bit. "I guess I was a bit too harsh but it still bugs me that our enemies have done nothing for the past few days."

"Well I doubt they can just send someone to attack us every day. If I recall they're also fighting in your world." Julio pointed out. "Besides I needed the break from getting hurt for real."

"He has a point Noire." Vert said supporting him. "It's not like they're using machines or monsters to fight us. They're using actual people and they need rest as well."

"Still she does have a point. They could be planning something." Blanc said in Noire's defense. "We should be ready."

"And we will be." Julio said with certainty. "Especially since those cards should be revealed some time today. My deck will be better and you'll kick even more ass."

"That's the spirit." Neptune said excited. "Now...What do we do now?" Neptune questioned.

"Well we had breakfast pretty early this morning and it's been a few hours since then so why don't get us some lunch?" Julio suggested.

"That actually sounds good right now." Noire said nodding.

"I'm fine with that." Blanc said shrugging.

"I agree." Vert said.

"Alright but where?" Neptune questioned.

"Well since we obviously can't go to a diner or something" Julio said and the four nodded. "How about I just head to the burger joint nearby and bring something for all of us?"

"Ooh that does sound good right now." Neptune said nodding.

"I agree plus it would make things easier and eating there would likely draw attention." Vert said.

"It would avoid problems." Blanc said in agreement.

"Alright then we should be fine." Nore said agreeing with the idea. The girls then proceeded to tell them what'd they like on their burger and Julio went outside to his D-Wheel after grabbing his wallet and putting on his shoes and placing the girls cards on the living room table. Julio turned on the D-Wheel and grabbed his helmet when he heard a small 'goo'. He glanced down and smiled when he noticed the Dogoo had followed him and wagged his tail. "Want to come along?" Julio questioned and the Dogoo jumped at that. "Fine but you can't come into the actual place. You'd probably freak everyone out." The Dogoo responded by hopping into the compartment on Julio's D-Wheel and with that he drove off.

With the girls

"So what do we do till he gets back?" Neptune asked.

"He has a game console in his room." Vert brought up.

"I don't think we should touch his things without his permission." Noire pointed out.

"True. How about we just look at that Duel Network Julio brought up? It'd be a good way to study up on the decks we may face in our time here." Blanc suggested.

"Honestly I want to be in a duel. It's been two days since the last one we were in." Neptune said pouting.

"I agree." Noire said slightly frustrated "Mostly because I want to be at my normal height. It's quite annoying being this small."

"I don't mind all that much but it would be nice to be able to do things without a lot of help." Blanc said sighing. "We just can't help much around here thanks to our size outside of dueling."

"Let's not worry about it. I'm sure we'll eventually find a way to fix the problem." Neptune said confidently. "I mean we always do."

"That kind of mentality could bite us in the butt." Noire said in response. "These guys aren't the same as the others we've faced."

"Noire's right. These guys are capable of going to other worlds and still have the strength to fight us back in our own world." Blanc added. "We can't underestimate them or we're screwed."

"You guys are downers." Neptune muttered.

"While I agree with the statement that we can't underestimate them we must have faith in not just ourselves but our allies and their skill." Vert stated. "They fight well and they are risking their lives to help us and I'm certain they'll help us defeat this enemy."

"I suppose you're right but...I just can't help but feel uneasy. When Julio dueled against Dan and that fusion dragon guy...I felt something dark almost...Evil." Noire muttered. "I trust him but I can't help but be on guard when he has that dragon out."

"I felt it too." Neptune said nodding in agreement. "When we dueled Dan the feelings between the two dragons were intense. I was a little scared."

"Let's observe more closely the next he brings out Dark. Maybe we can get some kind of idea about this." Vert stated and the three nodded.

Meanwhile

"Thanks Leyna." Julio said as he exited the burger place. "Well time to head on ba-"

"Julio?" He heard a female voice call to him and turned around to see a pretty girl his age calling to him. She had indigo hair with pink highlights that fell to her waist and was pulled into twin tails with white ribbons and had pale skin and dark red eyes. She stood at about 5'2 and had a petite build. She wore a white jacket that was zipped up halfway revealing a tank top the same color has her hair. She wore white pants and had a sky blue D-Tablet on her right arm. She looked a bit familiar but he couldn't put a name to the face "Oh man it really is you!"

"Um...Hi?" Julio said in a more questioning tone. "I'm sorry but do I know you?"

"It has been a while and I guess I have changed a lot...I'm Lisa Hunt." The girl said introducing herself and Julio pondered for a bit before his eyes widened.

"Lisa?! Wow you have changed a lot." Julio said in shock as he recognized the name. "It's been what...four years?"

"Yeah. I just moved back a few days ago and I was hoping to look for you guys but I've been busy getting everything set up at my aunt's house." She explained. "Man you haven't gotten any taller." She then giggled as his face fell and he scowled. "I'm sorry."

"It's fine. I know you didn't mean it in a insulting way." Julio sighed. "So I'm guessing you came here to get something to eat."

"Yeah I heard this place is pretty good. What's with all the food?" Lisa questioned noticing the large amount he had.

"For some friends that are over right now." Julio explained.

"Oh is it Kila, Dan and Hazel?" Lisa questioned.

"No they're busy at their houses." Julio said. "Some new friends I made. They're pretty...Interesting."

"Cool. Hey...Do you still have that dragon?" Lisa questioned.

"Dark? Of course I do." Julio said happily as he took Dark out of his deck. "He's my oldest and most trusted card there's no way I'd lose him!"

"Cool because I still have mine." Lisa said happily as she pulled a card out.

"That's…" Julio paused lightly. He felt his heart thump and unknown to him so did Lisa but she ignored it. "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon."

"Yeah. My ace monster. Hey I know we just barely met up again and all but tomorrow can we have a duel?" Lisa asked.

"Huh?" Julio said in confusion.

"I want to see if you got stronger and I wanted to show you how strong I've gotten since the last time we dueled." Lisa explained. "So please?"

"Sure. I'm interested to see what your decks like after all these years." Julio said with a grin.

"We can meet up tomorrow at my place and I can bring Kila, Dan and Hazel."

"That'd be awesome!" Lisa said excitedly. "Alright I'll see you tomorrow." She said and after exchanging numbers with Julio entered the burger place. Julio walked to his parked D-Wheel and contemplated the situation.

"Well this is something." Julio muttered to himself.

"I'll say. I'd say we have quite the duel tomorrow." Dark growled in Julio's head as Julio placed the food into a separate compartment the Dogoo wasn't in.

"I know but those cards should be ready today and it'll be a great chance to test them out." Julio said as he turned on his D-Wheel, put on his helmet and got on. "Besides...Let's see if that dragon of hers drives us crazy."

"I guess you have a point." Dark growled before Julio felt his presence disappear.

"Time to get going." Julio muttered to himself before he drove off towards his house.

10 minutes later

"I'm back." Julio said as he entered the house from the front door.

"Welcome back Juliy." Neptune called to him and he noticed what they were watching.

"Ahh. That duel." Julio said as he realized what it was. It was the duel with Team 5DS taking on Team Ragnarok. "That's a good one."

"This Yusei fellow is the most incredible duelist I've seen." Vert said in amazement. "No offense."

"Oh none taken at all." Julio said not at all offended. "This guy's a legend. The only person that I can think of that's as good as him is Yugi Muto and he was the original King of Games."

"Wow." Neptune said in awe.

"I agree. These duelist do sound impressive." Blanc said.

"I wasn't talking about that! This burger is amazing." Neptune said chewing on her burger.

"You could have waited!" Noire snapped.

"No point in yelling at her." Vert said placing a hand on her shoulder. "Let's just eat."

"Fine." Noire said rubbing her temples. "Let's just eat." As the five began to eat Julio spoke up.

"By the way we have a duel tomorrow." Julio said as he took a bite out of his burger.

"Really? Against who?" Blanc questioned.

"An old friend. Her name's Lisa." Julio explained. "She's also the user of that fourth dragon." That caused them to pause and stare at him. "Yep. Tomorrow's gonna be fun."

"I'm not sure you getting super aggressive counts as fun." Noire said in shock.

"Well not that part but those new cards will be fun." Julio said and they nodded at that. "Besides we need to see more of what's up with these connection between these dragons. I have trouble nowadays worrying about it."

"Well...We'd be lying if we said we weren't worried. When you went into that state we felt darkness coming off you and well it was almost evil." Vert said. "It's very concerning."

"All the more reason to figure it out." Julio stated as he finished his burger. "If what you say is true then I don't like the idea of having some evil force making me go crazy."

"We don't want to see you go through that either. Believe us we know what it's like." Blanc stated and though Julio wanted to ask more about it he stopped because the look on their faces said it wasn't a good idea.

"Right. Now I just wish that these cards would stop being blank." Julio said taking them out. "Histoire said three days so they should be ready soon."

"I really hope she wasn't wrong and it's actually three weeks." Neptune muttered.

"I'm offended that you think so little of me." A familiar voice said and they looked up to see a small glowing ball float down between them all.

"Histy! It's been so long!" Neptune said happily. "How're things over there? How's my Nep Jr?"

"It's nice to see you too Neptune." Histoire said warmly. "Things are fine over here. The return of Gold Third has helped massively and Nepgear is fine. She does miss you greatly and the same goes to you Blanc and Noire."

"I figured they would. I just wish we could talk to them." Neptune said sadly.

"Well you're in luck. I'll be sending them over soon." Histoire stated surprising them.

"Wow! Really? That's awesome with them by our side in Julio's deck there's no way we'll lose." Neptune said excitedly.

"Indeed. Also I have a little more information I missed regarding those new cards I sent you." Histoire said. "It appears that after three days you will be capable of releasing the power but you need a energy source."

"Energy source?" Noire questioned. "Like what?"

"Share Energy. You see these cards are very special much like your cards are. These cards are already connected to Julio's deck and your presence is the key to bringing out their power. Some of the more powerful ones will take longer to form but you should be able to get maybe half of them ready." Histoire explained. "All you must do is focus your Share Energy into the cards and they will be ready."

"How do you know all this stuff?" Julio questioned.

"My tome gave me insight on this world and much more but I did have some help in this regard." Histoire began. "You see it was not easy to open this portal and there were complications, thankfully I received help from a being known as Hyperion who agreed to assist me given the situation and introduced me to a very wise and old magician known as the Dark Sage who was very knowledgeable about this sort of thing and assisted me in creating these cards and informed me of the process to bring out the cards powers.

"Cool." Julio said knowing who the Dark Sage is and having an idea of who this Hyperion was. "I have a couple questions."

"I don't have much time to answer them so be quick." Histoire stated.

"Won't this whole traveling between worlds be dangerous to both of ours?" Julio questioned. "I mean I just don't think that going through worlds is risk free."

"You would be correct but thankfully my method is less riskier than others due to the portals being smaller, less powerful and temporary. Our enemies however, are quite dangerous and appear to be much larger and last for long periods of time so Hyperion wishes for us to defeat them before something terrible occurs." Histoire explained. "One such issue would be how that Dogoo came into your world." The five turned around and saw the blob on the couch snoring softly. "It's possible for monsters to slip between them but thankfully Hyperion and a being known as Time Wizard are helping in this regard keeping the larger monsters like Ancient Dragons in our world but smaller and weaker ones are harder to notice plus according to the two of them they also have to deal with another case very similar to ours in another world."

"Wow. At least we don't have to worry about that." Neptune said in relief.

"I have one last question. How will this whole bonding with my deck thing affect me?" Julio questioned. "From what I understand we're linked in some way."

"Your body itself will face no noticeable changes. You will however, in time be able to harness Share Energy." Histoire said surprising all of them.

"Wait how is that possible?" Blanc asked in shock.

"Since Julio is linked with you he must be able to draw out your power during these duels which of course is Share Energy." Histoire said getting nods from the four CPUs. "So in order to do so his body faced alterations at a spiritual level in order to handle and use this power. Of course that will not only take time to fully be capable of using the power but severe practice and training."

"Wow so I basically have some kind of super energy that can help me out?" Julio asked.

"Basically. With it you can likely protect yourself from the negative side effects from these Darkness Duels even should you lose however, it will not stop the enemy from taking the CPUs." Histoire warned.

"Good to know." Julio muttered. "So how long should it take for this Share Energy to pop up?"

"Not until you have fully bonded with everyone. As for training I will assist when the time comes." Histoire said before the small orb of light flickered. "I must be going now. Good luck and be careful all of you." With that the orb flickered away and left the five alone.

"Well...This is a lot to take in." Julio said. "I'm mostly curious about this other world facing issues similar to us to be honest and I wonder if we'll ever meet them."

"Indeed. It makes me wonder…" Noire said trailing off before shaking her head. "Let's move onto the more pressing matter and get those cards ready." Julio placed the cards onto the table and the four CPUs got on the table and stood around them.

"So how are we gonna do this?" Neptune questioned.

"Easy. We focus our Share Energy from our bodies into these cards." Noire said like it was obvious.

"Oh right...But how?" Neptune questioned.

"Just concentrate and hold out your hands." Blanc said sighing clearly annoyed with her. The four closed their eyes and held their hands out and for about a minute nothing happened then a multi colored aura surrounded the four and spread to the cards. The aura gave off a warm feeling and Julio could feel the sheer power they had.

"They are goddesses after all." Julio thought to himself in amazement. The cards began to float into the air above them in a small orb of the same aura before a flash of light occured blinding Julio instantly. When the light cleared the cards laid on the table flat an half of them were no longer blank. The four CPUs fell onto their knees panting in exhaustion.

"Did we do it?" Neptune gasped.

"Yep." Julio said holding up the cards that had new images. "I'd say this deck just got a major boost." He looked at the ones with no change but he could feel some kind of aura around them. "Have to wait to see what these are but these will definitely do." Julio said grinning as he read the effects. "You guys get some rest while I get started on building this new deck." He said gathering the cards before running off to his room.

"G-Good luck." Noire muttered as she floated to the couch and collapsed on it before falling asleep with the rest of the CPUs following suit.

One hour later

"And that should do it." Julio said grinning at his new deck. "Can't wait to test it for real!" He placed the deck down on his desk before getting up and stretching a bit before noticing an adorable sight. The Dogoo and Thump were sleeping together on his bed with Thump on top of the Dogoo. "That's just cute." He muttered to himself as he exited his room and went to the living room to find the CPUs still asleep. "Geez...Did it drain them that bad?" Julio said out loud in shock.

"I guess so." Dark growled. "They did have to use a fair amount of power to do so and unlike in a duel they don't have you to help them."

"Right...So...What do we do now?" Julio thought back.

"Perhaps you should call the others about what's going on tomorrow?" Dark suggested.

"Yeah I probably should do that." Julio muttered to himself as he went back to his room.

The next day. Nearly 3 o'clock

Knock, Knock, Knock.

"Coming!" Julio shouted as ran to the door. He opened it to find Kila there. "Oh hey, guess you wanted to get here early."

"Yeah." She said before noticing his clothes. "Oh mixing it up today?" Julio glanced down at his different than usual clothes. He was wearing a black jacket with red highlights over a white collared shirt and wore black jeans and black and red sneakers. He had his D-Tablet on his right wrist still.

"Yeah I decided to try a different style today." Julio said shrugging. "Look cool?"

"Honestly it looks a bit better than your usual clothes. So when should Lisa get here?" Kila said entering the house.

"She said she'd be here at around three." Julio said as the Nep girls came into the room this time with Compa and IF.

"Hey Kila!" Neptune said cheerfully.

"Hey Neptune. Ready for the duel?" Kila asked grinning.

"Dang right I am!" Neptune said pumping a fist. "I'm ready to kick butt!"

"Well at least you're determined Nep." IF said sweat dropping.

"Heck yeah I am! I have a feeling this duel is gonna be the most intense yet!" Neptune said excitement going through her.

"I feel the same way Neptune." Vert said smiling. "I'm quite looking forward to this."

"I do as well. This will be a great way to show our strength." Noire said slightly smugly.

"Indeed." Was all Blanc had to say on the matter.

"I'm excited but please don't overdo it." Compa said showing her nurse side.
"Relax we're not actually hurt during these duels." IF said placing a hand reassuringly on her shoulder.

"Yeah what IF said don't worry too much about it." Julio said his tone very confident. "Unless our enemy decides to show their faces we should be fine." The door knocked and Julio walked back to it and opened it revealing Lisa. "Lisa glad you could make it!"

"It's nice to see you again." Lisa said smiling cheerfully before noticing Kila. "Kila?! Oh my god you got hot!"

"Lisa good to see you." Kila said smiling happily. "And thanks." Kila added slightly embarrassed.

"Well she isn't wrong you are attractive." Julio said causing Kila to blush very lightly.

"Thanks." Kila said and Lisa looked between the two.

"Did you two hook up?" Lisa asked causing the two to sigh.

"People always ask that." Julio muttered. "No we're still very close friends and that's it."

"Yeah. Nothing more." Kila said though her tone had slight annoyance to it that Julio didn't catch onto. Lisa and the girls did and they sighed at that.

"Had to make him dense did ya?" Neptune muttered to herself low enough for her friends to notice and they nodded.

"Anyways, it's good to see you again Kila." Lisa said smiling even larger. "Where are Dan and Hazel?"

"Oh they're meeting us where we'll duel." Julio answered. "Dan managed to convince a professor at our school to use the school field."

"Why not go to the stadium?" Lisa asked.

"People start swarming us there begging me to duel with them." Julio replied annoyed. "I'll explain later."

"Does it involve the cute duel spirits?" Lisa asked surprising them.

"You can see us?" Noire asked in surprise.

"Mmm hmm." Lisa replied. "Since I was a kid. I never brought it up though."

"Thought people would freak out?" Julio asked and she nodded. "Yeah, we thought that then our parents revealed the truth about it to us."

"Wish my parents did." Lisa sighed before clapping her hands together in excitement. "So let's get going! I want to get this duel started!"

"Glad to see you're excited. Let's get going then." Julio said smiling and the group went outside while Julio locked the door behind him. He noticed Kila had taken her own car and so did Lisa. "Alright who's heading with Kila?" The group ended up with Noire and Blanc going with her with the rest deciding they wanted to go on the D-Wheel.

"Alright. Let's get going." Julio said once everyone settled on and the three drove off with Julio in the lead.

Several minutes later

"Wow!" Neptune and Compa gasped as the group arrived at the academy. Understandable since it was a pretty big school. There was one large school building and several facilities ranging from gyms, club rooms and, the reason they were here for, a duel field for the school with large brick walls and a metal gate with a security guard at the front.

"It's not that cool this is one of the smaller ones. The one in Domino City is WAY bigger." Julio said amazing them. He parked his D-Wheel in the area specified for them and turned it off. He took off his helmet and shook his head while the girls got off and Lisa and Kila parked. "I'll need to talk with the security guard. You guys can follow me if you want."

"I'll head over to the others." Vert said and floated to where they were parked.

"I'll go with you Jul-Jul." Compa said.

"I'll head with you." IF said.

"Me too." Neptune said floating and landing on his head. IF hesitated before floating onto Julio's right shoulder with Compa going onto the left

"Is this alright?" IF asked.

"Sure. I don't mind after you guys are technically weightless after all. Besides we're all friends right?" Julio said as he began to walk to the gate.

"Juliy's right. It's not like we're doing anything weird." Neptune said as Julio approached the guard in the booth who looked up and smiled.

"Shinku. It's good to see ya." The man said exiting the booth and greeting him.

"Mr. Johnson." Julio said respectfully. "Did Professor Chase tell you why I'm here?"

"Yes he did. I let Mirai and Bell in not too long ago." Johnson said.

"Good. My friends should be here in a bit." Julio said and noticed them coming up. "Oh there they are."

"Mr. Johnson! Doing okay?" Kila said kindly.

"Nice to see you too Vulpine and...I'm sorry who are you?" Johnson asked.

"I'm Lisa Hunt." Lisa said introducing herself.

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you." Johnson said kindly. "Alright you can all head in."

"Thank you sir." Julio said as Johnson opened the gate and let the group in.

"No problem have a good duel." Johnson said as they entered before closing the gate behind them.

"He seems nice." Lisa commented.

"Yeah he is but he can be strict if you break rules." Kila said. "Come on let's get to the field."

"Yes ma'am." Julio said jokingly as he lead the way.

A few minutes later

"Here we are." Julio said as he entered the building that had the duel field. It was a simple one with a elevated platform for the duelists to duel on. Hazel and Dan were nearby talking until Dan noticed them.

"There you guys are." Dan called to them.

"Hey Dan, Hazel!" Neptune said excitedly.

"Hey Neptune." Hazel said cheerfully and then she noticed Lisa. "Lisa!" Hazel cried out and hugged Lisa who returned it.

"Hazel it's good to see you." Lisa said happily before breaking the hug and turning to Dan. "Same to you Dan. I see you grew taller unlike a certain someone." This caused Julio scowl and everyone else to laugh.

"Ha ha ha." Julio said dryly.

"We're just messing with you. You know we love you." Kila said in a teasing tone.
"Yeah, yeah." Julio said rolling his eyes though his tone was playful. "Now that we're reunited how about we get started?"

"Yeah let's." Lisa said excited.

"These two really want to go at it." Hazel said in surprise as the two got onto the platform with the Nep girls following. "Think it's because of their dragons."

Probably not all of it. Julio's always been naturally competitive and loves a challenge when it comes to dueling so that's probably a big part as well." Kila said causing the two to nod. Julio and Lisa walked to the center and handed each their decks before shuffling them and handing them back. Julio took the right side of the field while Lisa took the left. The two activated their duel discs with Lisa's having a red outline resembling that of a sword and drew their five cards and stared each other down.

"So who gets the first move?" Lisa asked.

"You can go first. I've been going first during a duel a lot lately." Julio replied and Lisa nodded.

"DUEL!" The two shouted in unison.

Julio LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Lisa LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Turn 1
Lisa's Turn

"I'll start things off by activating the field spell Sky Iris!" Lisa said showing the card to Julio showed a shadowy figure with glowing red and green eyes coming out of a sort portal that was a rainbow of color. She placed the card into the field spell in the slot and immediately the room began to glow with colors as a large portal opened up in the roof. "I'll explain what it can do later. For now I'll summon one of my favorites, Performapal Uni!" A female monster dressed in a white buttoned up sleeveless trench coat a black leotard appeared. She had long blonde hair pulled into a ponytail with green eyes and a small horn on her head. She had a tail with matching hair color that seemed to be like that of a horse. She wore silver shoes with matching ribbons that wrapped around her legs and the shoes resembled horse hooves She gave a cheerful wave and smiled brightly at Julio surprising him before he responded with his own cheerful smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" The monster said happily shocking the group.

"Wait you're a duel spirit?" Julio asked.

"Yep me and my spirit along with Oddy." Performapal Uni said cheerfully. "I'd love to talk more but we have to duel."

Performapal Uni
ATK: 800 DEF: 1500
Level: 4 Light
Beast-Warrior/Effect

Sky Iris
Spell/Field

"I activate her effect with it during my Main Phase of the turn Uni was summoned I can special summon a Performapal monster that is level three or lower from my hand. I summon her sister Performapal Corn!" Lisa said summoning the monster revealing it to be another female monster that looked like Performapal Uni with light blue hair pulled into two ponytails and red eyes like Lisa's. Like Uni she had a tail those hers was a light blue. She wore two white cuffs on her wrists and a small blue sleeveless jacket over a white button up shirt that revealed her stomach and navy blue tights. She wore shoes just like her sisters. Like her sister she gave Julio a cheerful wave and a smile which he returned.

Performapal Corn
ATK: 600 DEF: 1000
Level: 3 Light
Beast-Warrior/Effect

"Pleasure to meet you all!" Corn said happily.

"Now I activate her effect. With it I can target her and a Performapal monster with less than 1000 attack and change them to defense mode and add a Odd-Eyes monster to my hand from the deck during the Main Phase of the turn she was summoned. I add Odd-eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Lisa said as Uni and Corn took defensive stances and Lisa's deck ejected a card that Lisa revealed to be Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. "I set a card and end my turn." Lisa said setting a card.

Julio LP: 4000 Hand: 5+1
Lisa LP: 4000 Hand: 2 Set: 1
Turn 2
Julio's turn

"My turn. I draw." Julio shouted drawing his card and smiling. "Alright time to show off some of newest cards!"

"Newest cards?" Kila said in surprise.

"Did those blank cards reveal themselves?" Dan questioned and Julio merely grinned.

"I summon Maker Valve to the field." Julio declared summoning a new monster. This one was female with charcoal black hair that went to her waist and matching eyes and pale skin. She wore a white dress with black sleeves that went to her knees and had black tights and wore black and white boots. On her hip was a strange pistol like weapon that had glowing orange lines along it. The Maker turned to Julio.

"So you're my duelist?" She questioned surprising Julio.

"Wait you can talk?" Julio exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course." Valve said crossing her arms.

"Cool. Well I am your duelist. The name's Julio Shinku." Julio said his tone friendly having gotten over his surprise.

"Name's Valve. Alright let's take this girl down." Valve said turning to Lisa and her monsters with a confident smile.

Maker Valve
ATK: 1800 DEF: 1200
Level: 4 Dark
Warrior/Effect

"I activate her effect. When Valve is summoned I can reveal a Maker monster in my hand and you take damage equal to that monster's level times 100." Julio declared. "I reveal Maker Ubi. She's level four so you take 400 damage." Valve pulled out her pistol and fired energy shots at Lisa who grunted as she raised her arms.

"Wait that looked a lot more powerful than it should...Do you have that set on A?" Julio asked in shock.

"Yeah. I like it on A." Lisa said shrugging.

Lisa LP: 4000-400= 3600

"Well…" Julio muttered to himself and pressed a couple of buttons on his D-Tablet.

"Shockwave damage change from B to A." His D-Tablet said a robotic voice.

"Wait what?" The group shouted.

"Why are you changing it?" Dan asked in shock.

"When it comes down to it those Darkness Duels are real damage. It's best I get used to it as much as I can so from now on it's level A for me." Julio said explaining himself.

"Darkness Duels?" Lisa asked confused.

"I'll explain it all at the end of the duel." Julio promised. "Now it's time to battle! Maker Valve attack Performapal Uni!" Julio declared and Valve nodded and pulled out her pistol and fired at Uni onl for a group of women to appear in front of Uni blocking the attack with a glowing barrier.

"I activated Waboku." Lisa said and the trap revealed itself. "My monsters are safe from battle and I take no damage from battle this turn."

Waboku

"Fine I set two cards face down and end my turn." Julio said setting two.

Julio LP: 4000 Hand: 3 Set: 2

Lisa's Turn

"I draw!" Lisa said and looked at the card with a smile. "I activate Card of Variation!" The spell showed a card in waves. "With it I draw two, however I must discard during my end phase or I take 3000 damage." Lisa drew her two cards and smirked. "I tribute my two monsters in order to summon a little friend of mine." Julio tensed as the two monsters gave a wave before disappearing into the air. Lisa held the card close to her chest. "Appear dragon I hold close to my heart. Dragon with wondrous and beautiful dichromatic eyes." A red beam shot from the sky and in the beam two eyes, one red and the other green, appeared. "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" A large red tail slashed through the light clearing it away and a large dragon appeared with a roar. It was a large red dragon with bone like armor on it's body covering it's torso which had a large blue orb held in it and spread out like a sort of wings that had one orb on them one green and the other red with golden armor on it's jaws. It had two small arms making it similar to that of a T-Rex. It's glowing dual colored eyes flashed with ferocity and it roared.

"This is her dragon." Dan said his heart thumping lightly.

"It looks powerful." Kila muttered. "If Julio's and Dan's are anything to go by."

"Then it's definitely strong." Hazel said glancing at Dan who had closed his eyes and taken a breath.

"Let's see what it can do."

"Next I attack Maker Valve with Odd-Eyes." Odd-Eyes' eyes flashed as it began to charge a breath of red fire.

"Trap activate. Shadow Spell. This chains your monster in place and on top of that it loses 700 ATK points." Chains shot out and bound the dragon in place causing it to roar before a final chain found it's mouth.

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon
ATK: 2500-700= 1800

"I go into my main phase and activate the effect of Sky Iris. With it I can destroy a face-up card on my field and add a Odd-Eyes, Performapal, or Magician monster from my deck to the hand." Lisa said as a small bolt of lightning came from the portal and stuck Odd-Eyes. "I destroy Odd-Eyes in order to add Performapal Skullcrobat Joker to my hand." She revealed the card to Julio.

"You destroyed your dragon but...he's about to come back isn't he?" Julio said tensing and Lisa smirked.

"Time for me to show you the power my deck truly shines at. With the scale four Performapal Trump Witch and Scale 8 Performapal Skullcrobat Joker I set the pendulum scale." She placed the cards on her disc causing the word Pendulum to flash across it. Skullcrobat Joker was a main in purple and black clothes resembling that of a jester's with a large top hat over his long blonde hair while Trump Witch was a small girl with a staff that had a skull and crossbones on it. She wore a blue dress with pink lining and white gloves. On her head she had a matching witch hat on her head covering her blonde hair that was pulled into two pigtails and a black mask with a gold star on it. The two rose in large blue pillars of light with a large 8 under Joker and a 1 under Trump Witch. A rainbow like aura appeared around the two pillars and Julio narrowed his eyes at that.

"Now I can pendulum summon monsters from levels 5 to 7. Come return from the extra deck, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Lisa shouted as the dragon shot down in a red flash of light and let out a roar. "I set a card and end my turn but due to the effect of Card of Variation I send a card from my hand." She set the card and discarded the monster.

Julio LP: 4000 Hand: 3+1 Set: 1

Turn 4
Julio's Turn

"I draw." Julio said drawing his card. "I summon Maker Ubi!" Another female appeared only this one seemed older possibly in her 20s with a white cloak with a hood covering her head. Under the cloak she wore a black long sleeve that seemed slightly large on her to the point it concealed her hands. She wore black pants with blue highlights and boots that matched the pants. She pulled back her hood and revealed her dark blue hair that was pulled into a ponytail that went over her shoulder and violet eyes. She turned to Julio her eyes cold and serious causing him to feel slightly nervous before they softened and became much more friendly and warm.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Ubi said bowing respectfully which Julio returned.

"Same to you. I'm Julio Shinku." Julio said his own tone respectful.

"I'm Ubi. I assume this is our opponent?" Ubi said turning to Lisa and Odd-Eyes her eyes turning serious.

"Yeah. Just a duel for fun so no need to go too hard." Julio said and Ubi nodded.

Maker Ubi
ATK: 1600 DEF: 1350
Level: 4 Dark
Warrior/Effect
"Now her effect activates. If I summon her and I have another Maker monster she can target and destroy a face-up monster you control." Julio declared and Ubi drew a pair of knives attached to her hands revealing brown leather gloves before disappearing. Odd-Eyes looked around before a slashing sound was heard and the dragon howled before it collapsed and shattered revealing Ubi standing behind it and putting her knives away. "Now Maker Ubi attack her directly!"

"I activate Zero Gravity!" Lisa shouted revealing the trap. "Now all your monsters are changed to defense mode!" The two Makers let out a grunt as they were forced onto their knees and Julio scowled.

Zero Gravity
Trap/Normal

"I set a card face down and switch Maker Valve to ATK mode." Julio said setting the card. "That's it for me."

Julio LP: 4000 Hand: 2 Set: 2

Turn 5
Lisa's Turn

"I draw." Lisa said and looked at the card and smirked. "I'll activate the spell card Pot of Greed! I'll draw two!" Lisa drew her cards and smirked. "With the set Pendulum Scale I'll Pendulum Summon again. Return from the Extra Deck Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Odd-Eyes shot down from the portal once more and roared.

"That thing just won't stay away will he?" Neptune muttered in annoyance.

"Also from my hand Odd-Eyes Dragon!" The dragon that appeared was Odd-Eyes without the bone like armor and it roared.

Odd-Eyes Dragon
ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000
Level: 7 Dark
Dragon/Effect

"Battle. Odd-Eye Pendulum Dragon attack Maker Ubi!" Lisa declared as the Pendulum Dragon fired a stream of flames at Ubi. "Spiral Strike Burst!"

"Trap activate! Card Defense!" Julio shouted playing the trap. "I send a card from my hand and negate that attack." Several cards spread out and blocked the flames causing Ubi to sigh in relief. "Then I draw a card!" Julio said drawing his card.

Card Defense
Trap/Normal

"Fine then I attack Maker Valve with Odd-Eyes Dragon! Spiral Flame!" Lisa shouted as Odd-Eyes Dragon fired a stream of flames smaller than it's counterpart but still very powerful.

"I activate her effect! When she battles an opponents monster I can have her gain 400 ATK for that battle only but she deals no damage for the battle!" Julio shouted as a orange glow enveloped her.

Maker Valve
ATK: 1800+400= 2200

"She still gets destroyed!" Lisa shouted as the flames collided and overwhelmed the Maker who screamed as she was destroyed. Julio let out a grunt as the flames spread out and pushed him back.

Julio LP: 4000-300= 3700

"Trap activate! Revenge Return!" Julio said playing the trap. "When a monster I control is destroyed by battle I can activate this and draw a card!" Julio drew his card and looked it over.

"Odd-Eyes Dragon's effect. When it destroys a monster by battle it deals damage equal to half of that monster's original attack!" Lisa said as the dragon charged up a fireball and fired it at Julio who was sent skidding backwards as it collided with his chest knocking the breath out of him.

Julio LP: 3700-1800/2= 2800

"Ouch."

"You okay?" IF asked worriedly.

"Yeah. Nothing compared to being cooked alive by a giant dragon." Julio said before turning his attention to Lisa. "Nice effect."

"Thanks. Now for my main phase I'll take my two dragons and build the Overlay Network!" Lisa declared shocking the others present as a familiar portal opened in front of Lisa.

"Xyz?" Julio muttered to himself as the two dragons turned into dark beams of light and dived into the portal.

"Dragon with dichromatic eyes. Come forth and descend onto the battlefield with your chilling might!" A lightning bolt shot into the portal as Lisa's eyes flashed. "Xyz Summon! Come forth, Rank 7! Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon!" From the portal appeared a large dragon with glowing eyes just like the other two Odd-Eyes but it had ice like armor across it's body instead of the red and it gave off a chilling aura. It let our a powerful roar that shook the field.

"This dragon...Is that it for your turn?" Julio asked his body tense but ready.

Turn 6
Julio's Turn

"My turn draw!" Julio declared and glanced at the card before placing it into his hand. He looked through his hand before selecting a card. "I activate the spell Guild's Intel!" The spell card showed a large sleek futuristic looking building with a large silver G on the center.

"Iffy look it's the Guild!" Neptune said excitedly.

"Yeah." IF said smiling happily at the sight.

"With this card I excavate the top three cards of my deck and add one spell or trap that lists the CPU or Maker either in it's name or text to my hand and then shuffle the rest into the deck. Also I don't have to reveal the card I added to my hand to you." Julio said as he looked at the top three cards before adding one to his hand before placing the rest into the deck allowing it to be shuffled.

Guild's Intel
Spell/Normal

"Now is the time. I summon CPU Noire to the field!" Julio said.

"I'll lend you my power Julio." Noire said as she hopped onto the field turning to her full height.

CPU Noire
ATK: 1500 DEF: 1000
Level: 4 Fire
Warrior/Effect

"With her effect I can add a Quick-Play from my deck to my hand. I add CPU Power Up!" Julio declared revealing the card to Lisa. "Next since I control a CPU or Maker monster I can special Share Crystal to the field." The blue crystal appeared ang began to glow.

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

"Now I tune my CPU Noire with my Share Crystal!" Julio declared.

"Time to get serious!" Noire said as the crystal floated to her hand and she placed it onto her chest causing it to burst into three rings which surrounded her turning her into stars.

"Goddess of the land of Black Regality! Come forth and show your strength to your foes!" A light shot through the rings. "I Synchro Summon! CPU Black Heart!" Black Heart flew out of the light with a smirk as she drew her weapon.

CPU Black Heart
ATK: 2450 DEF: 2000
Level: 7 Fire
Warrior/Synchro/Effect

"Okay seriously, where'd you get these monsters?" Lisa asked. "I've never heard of them before."

"That's a secret." Julio said. "Share Crystal's effect activates! Since this card was used for the Synchro Summon of a CPU monster I can draw a card." Julio said drawing his card. "Next there' Black Heart's effect. Since I used CPU Noire for her Synchro Summon she gains 500 ATK until the end phase and can deal piercing damage for as long as she's on the field." A blue aura surrounded Noire who grinned.

CPU Black Heart
ATK: 2450+500= 2950

"Next I'll activate CPU Power Up! With it I target a CPU Synchro Monster I control and you select a random monster in my extra and if it's CPU Synchro Monster then the monster I targeted gains ATK equal to the monster you selected until the end phase." Julio said. "Go ahead and pick!" Lisa got a small screen showing her six random cards. Lisa thought for a bit before selecting one to the left and it revealed itself to be Green Heart. "Thank you now Black Heart attack goes up by 1200!"

CPU Black Heart
ATK: 2950+1200= 4150

"Next I'll activate her other effect!" Julio declared. "By banishing a Quick-Play from my Graveyard I can target and destroy a card on your side of the field! I'll remove CPU Power Up and destroy Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon!" Julio declared as Noire charged energy into her sword before jumping into the air and slashing at Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon sending a beam of energy that sliced clean through the dragon causing it to howl in pain as it shattered.

"Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon's effect! When this Xyz summoned card is sent to the Graveyard I can special summon an Odd-Eyes monster from the Extra Deck! I'll special summon Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon in defense mode!" A heavy gust of wind swept through the small arena buffeting everyone especially those who were chibi and as a result had to grip Julio to keep themselves from being blown away. Then in a large vortex of green wind a large dragon appeared. Like Absolute it resembled Odd-Eyes greatly but this one was green instead of blue and and white and gold highlights on it's body. It had four small gold and white wings with two on each side of it's body. It's feet looked to be like boosters. It let out a roar just as powerful as Absolute.

Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon
ATK: 2500 DEF: 3000

Level: 7 Wind
Dragon/Fusion/Effect

"A fusion variant?" Hazel muttered to herself.

"Then what are the odds of a Synchro variant?" Kila asked.

"I don't know but let's focus on the duel." Dan said ignoring his thumping heart. Julio also felt his heart thumping but ignored it.

"Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon's effect activates. When this card is special summoned it can target a face-up attack position monster and return it to the hand. I'll target CPU Black Heart!" Lisa shouted and Vortex roared as it began to generate a vortex of wind that began to push back Noire.

"Not so fast! If she would be removed from the field because of a card effect I can send a spell from my hand instead." Julio said discarding a card and Noire let out a grunt as a barrier appeared protecting her from the wind. "The card I discarded was Card of Compensation. I draw two since it was sent from my hand." Julio said as he drew his two cards. "Battle! CPU Black Heart attack Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon!" Julio shouted and Noire rushed forward.

"Necro Gardna's effect activates. I can banish this card from the Graveyard and negate an opponent's attack!" Lisa declared as her Graveyard glowed and Necro Gardna appeared to block the attack.

"You sent him there with Card of Variation right?" Julio questioned and Lisa nodded with a grin.

Necro Gardna
ATK: 600 DEF: 1300
Level: 3 Dark

"Who says Vortex is still safe?" Julio asked with a grin shocking Lisa. "Maker Ubi attack Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon! When she attacks defense position monster it's destroyed before damage calculation." Ubi charged in and when Odd-Eyes Vortex tried to attack her she vanished and appeared above the dragon and slashed down slicing through it's neck causing it to roar as it shattered. "Then at the end of the battle she changes to defense mode." Ubijumped back and looked a little tired.

"Nice work." Noire said complimenting the Maker.

"It's an honor Lady Black Heart." Ubi said bowing.

"I'll set two cards face down and end my turn." Julio said setting the two cards. "Now Black Heart loses her attack boosts.

"I draw!" Lisa shouted drawing her card and looking at it before playing the card. "I'll activate Cards of Adversity!" The spell showed a large card a golden orb with two hands around it bringing it down to a man whose head appeared to be on fire. "If only my opponent controls a monster including a special summoned one I get to draw two!" Lisa drew her two cards and looked them over before grinning.

Cards of Adversity
Spell/Normal

"Next it's time for another Pendulum Summon!" Lisa declared.

"That dragon again?!" Neptune exclaimed.

"She can't. You see when an Xyz monster has a Pendulum Monster as material and those materials are detached or if the Xyz monster is sent to the Graveyard due to being destroyed by battle or card effect or returned to the Extra Deck it goes to the Graveyard instead of the Extra Deck." Julio explained. "This also applies to discarding them from your hand."

"Then she has something else planned?" IF asked slightly worried.

"Yep. Let's see what it is." Julio said a excited grin on her face

"I'll Pendulum Summon from my hand Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon!" Lisa declared. From the portal in the sky a large beam of red light shot down. The light cleared to reveal a monster similar to Odd-Eyes with the same eyes and bone like armor but with longer arms and several more orbs around it's body. It had two arm like bones coming out of it's head armor and two smaller ones on it's lower body with a red orb in it's left one and a green one in it's right one. It let out a roar that sent chills down the group's bodies and Julio felt a connection to this dragon that he couldn't understand.

"This dragon sends chills down my spine for some reason." Neptune muttered.

"I feel it too." Compa said slightly afraid.

"Relax. It's not like it can actually hurt us." Blanc snapped though she was slightly worried as well.

"I then activate the spell card Spiral Flame Strike!" The card art showed Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon firing it's special attack. "Since I control an Odd-Eyes monster I can target and destroy a card on the field. I'll target Black Heart!" Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon roared as dark flames began to form in it's mouth and it fired a stream of dark flames that collided with a barrier shocking Lisa. "What?!"

Spiral Flame Strike
Spell/Normal

"I activated the trap CPU's Protection!" The trap had an art of the CPUs taking on a large monster while a group of civilians run away. "If you activate a card effect that would destroy cards on the field and I control a CPU Synchro monster I can negate and destroy it also for every face up CPU Synchro monster I control you take 500 damage!" The flames redirected and collided with Lisa who stumbled back grunting.

Lisa LP: 3600-500= 3100

"Fine. I'll attack Black Heart with Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon!" Lisa declared as the dragon began to charge an attack.

"Trap activate!" Julio shouted playing his trap. "Draining Shield! I negate the att-"

"I activate the effect of Chow Chow Chan in my hand! When my opponent activates a normal Trap in response to my monster target your monster for an attack I can discard this card and negate the activation and destroy it!" The monster appeared to a be a small dog dressed in a samurai-ish outfit and holding a fan. The dog appeared and pointed it's fan at the trap with disapproval and caused it to shatter. "Now Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon's attack continues unopposed!"

"Damn." Julio muttered angrily.

"It's fine." Noire said noticing his turmoil. "Just make sure you win." Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon's attack collided with Noire who screamed as she was engulfed and destroyed by the flames.

"Noire!" The group cried out and Julio let out a small grunt as he took damage.

Julio LP: 2800-100= 2700

"Black Heart's effect activates! When this card is sent to the Graveyard I can add a CPU, Maker or Share Crystal monster from my grave to my hand! I'll add Share Crystal back to my hand!" The card ejected from the Graveyard and he added it to his hand.

"I'll activate the effect of Sky Iris! I'll use it's effect to destroy Performapal Trump Witch!" The witch disappeared into the portal. "And add Performapal Odd-Eyes Light Phoenix! The I'lll reset the Pendulum Scale with it!" A large phoenix with yellow, red and orange body with blue lines along his wings with a blue and black vest and a small black bowler hat appeared in the glowing blue pillar with a large 3 underneath it. "I'll end my turn with that!"

"Finally. It's been a while since I was in one of these!" Blanc said as she turned to her full height.

CPU Blanc
ATK: 1400 DEF: 1800

"When Blanc is normal summoned I can change one attack position monster you control to defense mode!" Blanc slammed her hammer into the ground causing the ground to crack and Odd-Eyes Phantom's legs to get caught and fall to the ground. "Next I'll special summon Share Crystal from my hand!" The blue crystal appeared once again. "Next I'll perform another tuning! This time with CPU Blanc and the Share Crystal!"

"I'll show you the true power of a CPU!" Blanc shouted as the Crystal floated to her hand and she held it to her chest causing the three rings to appear once again and turn her into four stars.

"Goddess of the land of white serenity! Come forth and show your unrivaled brute force to your foes!" A white light shot through the rings. "I Synchro Summon! CPU White Heart!" White Heart jumped out of the light and slammed her axe into the ground causing the ground to shake.

CPU White Heart
ATK: 2350 DEF: 2800
Level: 7 Water

"When I Synchro Summon her using CPU Blanc she gains 500 ATK until the end phase and twice per turn she can't be destroyed by battle!" A white aura appeared around Blanc causing her to smirk as she hefted her axe. "Then due to Share Crystal I draw a card!" Julio declared drawing his card.

CPU White Heart
ATK: 2350+500= 2850

"I then switch Ubi to attack mode!" Ubi rose up to her feet rested and determined. "Maker Ubi take out her dragon!" Ubi rushed forward and slashed through the dragon's neck with her knives and quickly jumped back as it collapsed onto the ground. She then took a more defensive stance as she changed to defense mode. "Now Blanc attack her directly!" Julio declared and Blanc nodded as she rushed forward.

"Not so fast!" Lisa declared. "I activate the Pendulum effect of Performapal Odd-Eyes Light Phoenix! When you declare a direct attack and I have another card in my Pendulum Zone, I can destroy the other card and special summon this card from my Pendulum Zone! I'll destroy Skullcrobat Joker and special summon Light Phoenix in defense mode!" Skullcrobat Joker turned into sparkles and disappeared and Light Phoenix shot down onto the field and crossed it's wings.

"Fine then. Blanc smash that thing!" Julio declared and Blanc was more than happy to oblige as she rushed forward and jumped into the air before smashing the phoenix.

"I'll end my turn with a face down!" Julio said setting a card before giving Lisa a smile. "Nice defense"

"Thanks. But next turn I have a feeling that the real duel is about to begin." Lisa said with a grin.

Lisa looked at her deck and closed her eyes before opening them. "Draw!" A feeling of tension filled the arena and Julio narrowed his eyes. Lisa looked at her card and smiled. "Nice. I activate the spell card Card of Demise! I draw till I have five cards in my hand but I lose my hand after five of my standby phases!" LIsa shouted and she drew her five cards and looked at them before a small frown appeared on her face upon examining the cards. "I activate Magical Pendulum Box!" The spell showed a box going in a steady circle in the air. "With it I draw two and reveal them to you and if both cards are Pendulum Monsters I add them to my hand, otherwise I send them to the Graveyard."

"She must not have much to work with in her hand judging by her expression ." Dan noted. "She could be betting this on those two cards."

"Yeah. I have a feeling Lisa's right about the real duel starting." Kila said a feeling of unease spreading over her.

"I draw!" Lisa shouted and looked at the two cards before grinning. "I drew Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon and Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon! They're both Pendulum monsters so into my hand they go but they won't be there for long because using the scale 1 Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon and scale 8 Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon I set the Pendulum Scale!" The words Pendulum flashed over her duel disc once more as two dragons floated into the sky in glowing blue pillars. Both dragons were rather small and seemed to be children and both had the same dual colored eyes as her previous dragons. Mirage was green and had white armor along it's body with a blue orb on it's chest and two red orbs on it's knees and underneath it was a large 8. Persona was red and like Mirage had white armor along it's body but it had a large helmet on it's head and two small leaf like armor on it's back which had two glowing green orbs underneath it was a large 1.

"If I have 3 or more Pendulum Monsters in my Extra Deck with different name I can draw two cards but I can't add anymore cards from my deck to my hand after activating this." She drew her two cards and grinned. "Now I'll Pendulum Summon! From the extra deck Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon, Skullcrobat Joker, and Trump Witch and from the hand Performapal Odd-Eyes Synchron!"

"Four monsters at once?!" Vert exclaimed.

"I told you it's OP!" Neptune yelped. All five shot down from the portal in the roof in various beams of light. The four monsters appeared and stared down Julio's monsters causing him to tense. The newest one was a small monster with a red and green eyes with gears around them. It wore a purple bow tie with yellow polka dots and a top hat with a white wings on the side and a gold star on top. "Now with my level four Skullcrobat Joker, level one Trump Witch and level two Performapal Odd-Eyes Synchron I perform a Synchro Summon!" Odd-Eyes Synchron turned into two large rings that surrounded the two Performapals turning them into stars and floated to the roof

"Here it comes." Dan muttered.

"Dragon with dual colored eyes! Descend in a blazing meteor and display your might!" A light shot through the rings. "I Synchro Summon! Level 7 Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon!" A large meteor came from the light into the center of the field creating a small explosion that blinded the group. When the light cleared a large red dragon and glowing green and red eyes stood in the center. It had four wing-like appendages spreading out from it's body that resembled flames. It gave off an aura of power and heat caused Julio's heart to thump even harder. Dan placed a hand on his head as his skull began to ache.

"Dan are you okay?" Hazel asked worried.

"Yes I am." Dan said as the pain went away. "It was only temporary."

"Now I activate Monster Reborn! I'll revive Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Lisa declared playing the spell causing the dragon to rise from a portal. It let out a roar of anger as it glared down Julio.

"This is quite the field you have." Julio commented. "Bring it on!"

"Oh I will. Little heads up by the way. When Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon is on the field your monster's can't activate their effects during the battle phase!" Lisa said grinning.

"What?!" Julio said in shock.

"I attack White Heart with Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon!" The dragon roared as it charged up the dark stream of fire.

"Trap activate! Guardraw! With it I change a attack position monster I control to defense!" Julio said. "I change White Heart to defense mode." Blanc took a defensive stance as the flames slammed into her and she redirected them causing the fire to graze Lisa. "Also I draw a card!"

"I activate the Quick-Play spell Rush Recklessly! With it I target a monster I control and raise it's ATK by 700 until the end phase! I target Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon!" Odd-Eyes Meteorburst roared as a red aura appeared around it.

"Go attack White Heart! Remember since he's on the field your monsters effects can't be activated which means your monster doesn't have the ability to prevent it's destruction!" Lisa shouted and Julio growled. "Go Meteor Spiral Stream!" Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon fired a stream of fire that had a flaming meteor at the center that collided with Blanc.

"Damn it!" Blanc screamed as she was destroyed.

"Blanc!" Vert gasped.

"Let me at her!" Neptune said angered.

"You'll get your chance." Julio said. "Thanks to that effect I can't add Share Crystal to my hand with Blanc's effect...It's a good thing I have new cards to deal with this."

"I'll attack Ubi with Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Odd-Eyes roared as it charged forward and slammed it's tail into Ubi sending her flying back with a scream as she shattered. "I set a card and end my turn!"

"Things are looking tough." Compa said worried.

"I'm sure Julio can turn this situation around." IF said reassuringly.

"Yeah believe in the powers of the main protagonist." Neptune said fist pumping.

"Huh?" Julio turned to Nep in confusion.

"Oh it's nothing. Anyways, beat her down Crimy!" Neptune said fiercely.

Julio's Turn

"I draw!" Julio said. "I summon CPU Vert!"

"Looks like I'm up next." Vert saidas she went onto the field to her full height.

"No fair! Why am I last?" Neptune complained as she crossed hands pouting.

"I haven't drew your card yet." Julio said simply. "CPU Vert's effect activates with it when she's summoned she can destroy a spell or trap you have on the field and you can't activate it in response!" Vert drew her spear and threw it at the card destroying and revealing it to be Mirror Force before summoning back her spear. "Good thing I destroyed that."

CPU Vert

"So? You don't have that tuner so you can't summon another synchro monster!" Lisa pointed out.

"You think so?" Julio asked with a smirk causing Lisa to look confused. "I activate the effect of Guild's Intel in the Graveyard. By banishing this card I can add a card from my Graveyard with Maker or CPU in it's name or text! I'll add Share Crystal! Then I special summon it since I control Vert!" The blue crystal appeared once more. "Now I tune CPU Vert with Share Crystal!" Vert took the crystal and held it to her chest causing it to turn into three rings which surrounded her turning her into four stars. "Goddess of the land of green pastures! Come forth and strike your foes with unmatched speeds!" A light shot through the rings. "Synchro Summon! CPU Green Heart!" Green Heart appeared through the light and landed in front of Julio.

CPU Green Heart

"Her effect activates! She gains 500 ATK until the end phase and can attack all monsters you control once each!" A green glow appeared around Vert and she readied her spear. "Now I draw a card due to Share Crystal." Julio drew his card and glanced at it before placing it in his hand. "Next I activate Green Heart's effect. With it I reveal a card in my hand and then I can target a face up card of the same type and negate it's effect until the end phase. I reveal Dark Blade and target Meteorburst Dragon negating it's effect!" Vert fired a spear that pierced Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon who howled in pain.

CPU Green Heart
ATK: 2400+500= 2900

"Vert wipe out all her monsters!" Vert nodded and at nobody except the Neptunia girls could follow sliced through all her dragons. Vert landed in front of Julio and smirked when the dragons exploded. Lisa let out a yell of pain as she was sent flying backwards and rose to her feet with a grunt.

Lisa LP: 2800-400x3= 1600

"Next I activate Graceful Charity! I'll draw three and discard two!" Julio drew his three cards and studied them before choosing two cards to send to the Graveyard. "I set two cards and end my turn!" Julio said setting his card.

"I draw! I activate my own Graceful Charity!" Lisa shouted her eyes flashing as she drew her cards and discarded two. "I activate the Quick-Play Spell Odd-Eyes Xyz Gate!" The spell showed a black shadow with glowing red and green eye and two horns with two red and green lights following it through a large black gate.

Cue Yugioh ARC V Cornered Duelist

"Odd-Eyes Xyz Gate?" Julio asked in confusion before playing a card. "I activate Dimension Guardian! I'll equip it to Green Heart. With it she can't be destroyed by card effects or battle."

"It won't matter! Odd-Eyes Xyz Gate targets Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon in my Extra Deck and an Xyz Monster in my Graveyard and special summons them with their effects negated and then makes the Xyz monster a level 7."

"Giving an Xyz monster levels?!" Julio's eyes widened. "Wait you aren't-"

"Then I must Xyz summon a Xyz Pendulum monster using these two monsters!" A large portal opened if front of her and the two monsters let out roars as they disappeared into the portal.
"Dragon with dual colored eyes! Resurrect from the deep darkness and burn everything in the world with flames of anger!" A lightning bolt shot into the portal as fire rushed out of it in a vortex. "Xyz Summon! Come forth, Rank 7! The blazing dragon called by calamity! Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon!" From the flames erupted a large dragon who roared so powerfully the building shook. It was Odd-Eyes but it's scales rougher and it's skin was magma like. It's arms had become bigger and it's legs becoming more human like and it's body was much more slender. On it's arms were two blade like ends extending from them. It had two large wings were connected with strange blue rhombus. The wings were cracked and had five plasma like blades in them that gave off a massive amount of heat. It's face had a glowing scar across it's right eye and it had blue lines along the two horns pointed upward and two more pointing downwards with the right one having a matching scar on it's face. The dragon let out another roar filled with anger.

"What's with that dragon?" Kila asked before hearing three yells of pain as the three dragon wielders held their heads. "Oh no!"

"I'm fine." Julio said as the pain died down a bit. "We need to finish this duel."

"I agree. When this card has an Xyz Monster is Xyz Summoned using an Xyz monster I can activate Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon's effect! Once per turn I can detach an Overlay Unit and destroy all cards you control!" Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon roared as one Overlay Uniti disappeared and a purple aura surrounded it before the plasma like blades on it's wings shot out onto Julio's field surrounding all cards on his field. "Destroy Everything!" Raging Dragon roared as it spun around causing everything to shatter except Vert who was protected by a green barrier that faded away. "And for each one Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon gains 200 ATK points! Two were destroyed so Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon gains 400 ATK!" The dragon's eyes flashed with it's scarred face flashing orange.

"Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon! Attack CPU Green Heart!" Lightning began to crackle around Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon along with miniature explosion alongside it's wings as flames began to engulf the dragon who roared as blue flames began to form a circle in front of it. "Destruction Burst of Rage!" It fired an enormous vortex of flames with purple lightning crackling in it that flew towards Vert and Julio.

"I activate the effect of the Relinkuriboh in my graveyard! By removing it from play it can prevent Green Heart's destruction." The small kuriboh appeared in front of Vert and bravely flew into the attack.

"Unfortunately for you Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon can attack twice!" Julio eyes widened as Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon put more force into the attack that incinerated the poor Kuriboh and engulfed Vert who screamed in agony as she was incinerated by the attack which continued and collided with Julio who yelled in pain as it sent him flying backwards and almost off the platform.

Julio LP: 2600-1000x2= 600

"Julio!" Everyone called out as he laid groaning on the floor in pain.

"Are you alright?!" IF asked panicking. Compa checked him over quickly for any burns.

"He's fine. He doesn't have any burns but I can't say if he has any head injuries." Compa said.

"Oh she's done it know. She destroyed all my friends! Let me at her!" Neptune said her ferocity high.

"For now I activate Green Heart's effect. I'll add Share Crystal back to my hand." Julio said adding the card back to his hand.

"I set two cards and end my turn!" Lisa said as Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon lost it's aura.

"I then can add an equip spell to my and when she's summoned I add United We Stand!" Julio added the spell to his hand. "I then special summon Share Crystal!" The crystal appeared but Lisa acted quick.

"I activate Raigeki Break!" The trap showed a hand with a finger that glowed red firing lightning at a goblin like monster. "I discard a card then target a card on the field and destroy it. I'll destroy Share Crystal!" A red lightning bolt shot down and destroyed the crystal.

"Damn." Julio growled before he heard a goo and he looked down and noticed the Dogoo rubbing against his leg. "The hell?! I left you home!"

"I didn't notice him." Kila said in shock.

"Me neither. He's one sneaky little guy." Dan commented.

"Well guess it's appropriate you're here. I activate the effect of Dogoo in my hand! By banishing one tuner monster in my grave this card gains it's level, name, effect whether it's in my hand, on my field field or in my grave until the end of the turn!" Julio declared. "I banish Share Crystal so Dogoo becomes that monster!" The Dogoo let out a 'goo' as it morphed into a gooey version of Share Crystal before it disappeared. "I then special summon Share Crystal to the field." The gooey crystal appeared.

"Now I tune CPU Neptune with the transformed Dogoo!" The crystal floated into Neptune's hand who let out a small squeal.

"It's all gooey." Neptune whined.

"Just do the thing!" Julio said annoyed

"Fine. Neptune muttered as she reluctantly held the crystal to her chest causing it to turn into three rings that surrounded her and turned her into four stars.

"Goddess of the land of purple progress! Come forth and help those you call friends!" A bright light shot through the rings. "I Synchro Summon! CPU Purple Heart!" Purple Heart appeared through the portal and landed next to Julio.

"Feels foo to be back in the action." Ne[tune said drawing her weapon.

"Her effect activates! Like the others she gains 500 ATK until the end phase and she can attack twice!" A purple aura surrounded Neptune who smiled confidently. "Also keep in mind Dogoo inherited Share Crystal's effect so I draw a card!" Julio drew before activating a spell. "Then I activate United We Stand and equip it to Purple Heart! She gains 800 ATK for each face up monster I control."

"I activate Fiendish Chain! Your monster can't change it's battle position, attack and it's effect is negated." Lisa said as chains shot out and bound Neptune in place forcing her to drop her sword as her arms were pressed against her body. Neptune let out grunts as she struggled to break free to no avail.

"Darn it. Just when I was summoned." Neptune growled. Julio was annoyed but looked at his hand.

"Thankfully I have some options to work with." Julio stated. "I activate Pot of Avarice! With it I return five monsters to my deck and draw two cards. I'll return CPU Blanc, CPU Vert CPU Neptune, Maker Ubi and Dark Blade back to the deck." The five cards ejected out of the grave and Julio shuffled them into his deck before drawing two cards.

"I then activate CPU Tactical Shift!

The spell showed an injured Purple Heart moving away as Noire and Vert jumped into the fray. "I special summon CPU Vert from my deck and CPU Noire from my Graveyard in attack mode" Neptune disappeared into a small portal which closed as two more opened up with Noire and Vert jumping out of them in their normal forms.

"How are things going here?" Noire asked.

"About to turn this around. Just need to bring a dragon out." Julio said and Noire and Vert understood immediately.

"Will you be okay?" Vert questioned as a feeling of unease took over.

"Maybe." Julio said not reassuring them at all. "Just trust me."

"We will." Noire and Vert said together.

"Well Lisa." Julio said catching her attention. "It's time my dragon had his share of the fun."

"Bring it on." Lisa said excitement flooding her veins.
"Dan be ready." Julio said and Dan nodded as he realized what he was doing. "With my level four CPU Noire and level four CPU Vert I build the Overlay Network!" The two turned into a green and black beams of light that shot into the portal causing lightning to slam into it. "Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with it's treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Xyz summon! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Dark appeared onto the field and let out a furious roar which Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon returned.

"You finally show yourself." Odd-Eyes snarled. "After your comrades fell."

"I wouldn't worry about them after all I will avenge them when I slaughter you!" Dark growled. The three dragon wielder's eyes began to glow. Julio now matching Dark's, Dan's matching Clear Wing and Lisa's right eyes began to glow red making her eyes just like Odd-Eyes.

"I activate Dark Rebellion's effect. By removing two overlay units I target one monster you control and cut it's attack in half and transfer it to Dark Rebellion's." Dark extended his wings and began to generate purple lightning which flew to Odd-Eyes and bound it in place draining his energy. "Treason Discharge!" Dark Rebellion let out a roar as it's power increased.

"I activate the effect of my Performapal Uni by banishing it and Performapal Corn I can negate the attack!" Uni and Corn appeared before forming a barrier that Dark collided with and forced him back. Julio tensed and looked at his hand.

"I set a card and end my turn!" Julio said setting the face down.

Four beams of light shot down onto the field and cleared revealing three familiar monsters and one new one. The latest one appeared to be a human male with red and green eyes with his hair being blue flames. He wore silver armor and had a magenta sash around his body and wielded a steel staff with what appeared to be an atom at the end.

Odd-Eyes Dissolver raised his staff which glowed as he rose into the air alongside Mirage Dragon who roared as they disappeared into a swirling portal. "Dichromatic Eyes that Illuminate the night! Become one with the eyes that cast illusions who fool all! Become one and bring forth the great dragon who storms through the land!" The portal flashed as Lisa cupped her hands together. "I Fusion Summon! Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon!" Odd-Eyes Vortex appeared from the portal and roared in fury. "Next his effect! I'll return Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon to your hand or in this case Extra Deck!" Vortex roared as heavy winds affected Dark Rebellion buffeting him.

"I activate Breakthrough Skill! With it I'll negate Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon's effect!" Julio shouted playing the trap.

"I'll activate Vortex's effect! Once per turn, by sending a face-up Pendulum monster in my Extra Deck I can negate a spell, trap, or monster effect and destroy it. I'll return Trump Witch and negate your trap." Odd-Eyes Vortex roared as heavy winds slammed into the trap blowing it away. "Now say goodbye to Dark Rebellion!" Dark roared as he was sent flying as well and disappeared into a portal.

"Dark!" Julio shouted as the winds died down.

"Next I activate Performapal Odd-Eyes Synchron's effect! I can target one card in my Pendulum Zone and special summon it but it's effects are negated and I have to immediately perform a Synchro Summon!" Performapal Odd-Eyes Synchron floated up to Persona Dragon and turned into two rings and surrounded Persone Dragon turning him into five stars and a pillar of light shot through the rings. "I Synchro Summon Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon!" Meteorburst appeared once again through a meteor an roared at Julio. "Finally...I overlay Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon and Odd-Eyes Dragon!" The two dragons roared as they disappeared into the portal that opened in front of them. "I Xyz Summon Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon!"" Absolute appeared from the portal and roared.

"She summoned all three of those in one turn." Kila said in awe but then noticed Julio holding his head again and looked at both Dan and Lisa to see them doing the same. Hazel rushed to Dan who fell to his knees. Julio and Lisa did the same and let out small groans of pain. "Julio!" Kila cried out as she got onto the platform and rushed to his side. Julio looked at her revealing his eyes to be glowing brighter than before and just like Dark's and as were Lisa's and Dan's with both taking after their dragons as well. Julio's Graveyard began to glow.

"What the?" Hazel said in fear as Dan's deck began to glow a dark blue and Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon roared. "What do we do?!"
"I don't know!" Kila said in fear. IF and Compa were speechless and terrified. Then the three's eyes suddenly stopped glowing and they stopped holding their heads panting in pain in and falling backwards in exhaustion.

"Kila?" Julio spoke up sounding tired. "What are you doing up here?"

"You three just started holding your head and fell to your knees like you were in pain." Kila explained clearly shook. "Your eyes all started glowing and so did your dragons."

"What?" Julio said in surprise. He looked at Dan and Lisa who were getting to their feet and began to do the same. "Jeez. I'm glad I didn't have Dark on the field otherwise it could have been worse."

"Maybe we should cancel the duel." Kila suggested.

"What? No way! We're almost done!" Julio protested. "I don't want to have to end it like this!"

"I'm with him." Lisa spoke up. "I'm about to win this!"

"Like hell you are!" Julio shot back. The two began to bicker and Kila glanced at Dan who was assuring Hazel he was fine.

"Alright enough." Kila said shutting the two up. "Alright but if that happens again this duels done."

"Deal." The two said quickly. Kila got down from the platform and joined Dan and Hazel.

"You okay?" Kila asked and Dan nodded.

"Yeah just tired. They continuing?" Dan asked and Kila nodded. "Good. I want to see how this ends."

"Now I-" Lisa began.

"I activate the effect of Maker Enix from my hand! If this is the only card in my hand and I control no monsters and my opponent does I can special summon this card to the field and my opponent can't enter their Battle Phase but they gain 1000 life points and they draw a card." Julio said. "I'll special summon Maker Enix in defense mode!" A small girl appeared about 4'1 appeared wearing an oversized white coat over her petite body that went past her knees. She had snow white hair that went to her shoulders and blue eyes. She wore white socks that went past her knees and white boots. In her hands was a large staff that seemed a bit big for her. She formed a small barrier that shielded her and Julio but it gave off a healing light that spread over to Lisa who then drew a card. Enix then looked at Lisa's field of dragons and squealed in fear and ran and hid behind Julio.

"I'm Enix. I'm sorry I got scared but I'll do my best to help!" Enix said trying to make a fierce face but failed. Julio couldn't help but smile at her cuteness.

"Her effect activates. When she's summoned I can add a card that has Maker or CPU in it's card text or name but I can't activate it till my next Standby Phase. I'll add CPU Rescue." Julio took the card that ejected from his deck.

"Welcome back Neptune." Julio said cheerfully.

"Good to be back." Neptune said drawing her weapon. "Things aren't looking good."

"They aren't but I'm about to turn this around." Julio said confidently. "But first I activate the effect of Breakthrough Skill in the Graveyard! By banishing it I can negate the effect of a monster you control. I'll negate Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon!" Lisa scowled as her dragon flashed orange and lowered it's head. "Now I activate CPU Rescue!" Julio declared playing the spell. It showed IF and Compa carrying away an unconcious girl that looked like Neptune away from a large black figure in a rather twisted place with several destroyed items around. "I return three CPU or Maker monsters in the Graveyard back to the deck and then draw two. I'll return CPU Green Heart, CPU White Heart, and CPU Black Heart to the Extra deck." The three cards ejected and Julio placed them into the extra deck. "CPU Rescue has another effect. If all three cards are CPU Synchro Monsters I draw three instead!" Julio placed his hand onto his deck and closed his eyes. "I need the right cards to turn this around." Julio opened his eyes and drew his his cards before looking at them and smiling.

It had a head unit with sky blue eyes and a tiara like design on it's head. It began to attach itself to Neptune adjusting it's form to Neptune's figure and the armor color began to change from sky blue to purple and the transparent wings began to change to purple as well and change to match Neptune's wings. The head unit attached to Neptune's head covering her eyes but leaving the lower part of her face uncovered.

"What is that?!" IF exclaimed in surprise and awe.

"Wow!" Compa said her eyes shining.

"This feels incredible. What is this device?" Neptune wondered out loud.

"I am classified as CPU Arms: Divine Jet. It is a pleasure to meet you." A cool female voice said into her ear surprising her.

"You can speak?" Neptune asked in shock.

"Yes but only you are able to hear me." She replied.

"Good to know. You ready to assist me in defeating our foe?" Neptune asked.

"Yes I am. I was designed to assist you and every other CPU in combat." The jet stated.

"Since my life points are lower than yours I can activate this from my hand! The trap card Power of the Fallen!" The trap showed a tired yet determined Purple Heart with an astral image of all her friends standing behind her. "I can banish one CPU or Maker monster in my Graveyard that was destroyed by battle or card effect and increase the ATK of one CPU Synchro monster I control by half that amount also that monster can attack all monsters you control once each. Also the attacks can't be negated!" Julio declared causing Lisa's eyes to widen. "I banish Maker Valve and increase Purple Heart's attack by 900!"

"Child's play." Neptune said smirking.

"Now attack Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon!" Julio shouted and Neptune shot up into the air towards the roof. Neptune readied her sword and using the boosters on her heels she shot down towards the dragon. Lisa looked at her hand and sighed.

"Not gonna help. Oh well this was a fun duel." She thought to herself as Neptune slashed down slicing clean through Odd-Eyes and skidding to a stop before Odd-Eyes roared as it exploded.

"He did it!" Kila shouted happily as the monsters began to fade away. Neptune let out a sigh as she turned back to her chibi size. Noire, Vert, and Blanc came back as well.

"Nice job Neptune." Noire sais complimenting Neptune. "We saw in the Graveyard."

"It was nothing besides I had help from Julio here." Neptune said as gesturing to Julio as he walked over with Compa and IF.

"She's right. Nice job out there today." Blanc said smiling at Julio who returned it with his own smile.

"Thanks. If it wasn't for us working together we'd have lost most likely." Julio said.

"You all did great. I just wish I could have gotten in on that action." IF said.

"Sorry. I just never drew your cards." Julio said apologizing to IF and Compa.

"It's okay Jul-Jul. You still managed to win and had fun doing it." Compa said smiling sweetly.

"Yeah. Besides there will be plenty of other chances for us to duel in the future." IF pointed out. The group then noticed the others smiling at them.

"Oh sorry for ignoring you guys." Julio said scratching his head.

"It's fine. You guys are team bonding after all." Kila said smiling. Julio nodded and turned to Lisa and walked up to her before holding out his hand which she took and they shook.

"Thanks for the duel. It was a lot of fun." Julio said smiling.

"No problem. I had a lot of fun too. Can't wait till we can duel again." Lisa said and then looked at her watch. "Oh crap! I need to get home. We can hang out later! Bye!" Lisa said as she rushed out the doors.

"Why is she in such a hurry?" Hazel asked confused.

"Eh. Her parents are probably strict or something. So who's hungry? I'll buy." Julio said.

"I'm up for it." Dan said.

"Me too!" Hazel said raising her hand.

"Let's go." Kila said.

"Let's go this Nep need some food after that duel." Neptune said happily.

"I agree. That duel was quite tiring." Vert said sighing.

"I could go for some food." Noire said. Blanc simply nodded in agreement.

"I'd say you all deserve it." IF said as she floated onto Julio's shoulder.

"Yessy." Compa said nodding.

"Alright then let's get going." Julio said leading the way out.

Several minutes later

"Aunt Jen I'm back." Lisa called out.

"Your aunt stepped out to go get stuff for dinner." A voice said on the couch causing her to turn to the couch seeing a teen wearing purple and black clothes smirking at her as he sat on the couch.

"Doku?" Lisa said sighing in relief. "Next time give me a heads up."

"I could but seeing you panic is quite nice." Doku said grinning. "So how'd the duel go."

"I lost but I've seen a lot of new cards he's got going for him I can tell Lady Vernice about later." Lisa said crossing her arms.

"Good." Doku said as he leaned back.

"How'd your mission go?" Lisa asked as she sat on a chair.

"I'd tell you but the author's ending it here for next time." Doku said.

"Wait, what?" Lisa began but was cut off.

AN: Well this took a while to get done. Now to address what took me so long: Guess who is a high school graduate? That's right I recently graduated. To celebrate me and my family went out of town for a while and as such I wasn't able to get much done on this chapter plus I've been working a part time job. For a while I'll be able to get a lot more work done. I am going to go to college but I'm not gonna say whether or not this will effect my writing until after I go for a while. I saw the new Avengers movie and I left the movie theater depressed but happy I saw such a great movie that I think is the best the MCU has ever made. I also got the Devil May Cry HD collection for my PS4 and I have now recalled why I love the series so much as I tear through demons.

Now let's go onto the reviews.

Felipexza: Thanks for the review and the favorite.

MaxGundam1998: Thanks for the review and I hope you liked the inclusion of the CPU ARMS.

Guest Quest: 1. It's no problem. There are times where I forget that he only affects effect monsters. Thanks for the corrections I'll be sure to fix them later.

2. I plan on Julio learning about them much later but you can expect Julio to be introduced to Chaos Xyz Change sooner than the other two. Dan will start learning around the same time as Julio and I've got when Doku learns Contact Fusion figured out. I'm still working on Integration but I'll have everything regarding it will be done soon.

3. Don't worry. In the next few duels the banned cards and cards that are very overpowered will be very rare. I have also figured out a replacement for Effect Shut so don't worry about that.

4. Good to know you enjoy those series as well.

5. Thanks for the PCST and edits. I'll be sure to fix those with the edits.

Kite Lanford: Thank you for the review.

Kamencolin: Glad you like the shout out because next chapter they will officially appear and duel. In regards to the timeline, this is set well after Zexal. If I recall ARC V is it's own separate timeline from the other series. As for the combining of Speed Duels and action Duels, I'll keep that in mind.

Guest: Like the idea and I used it during this chapter and you can expect the other summons to be changed later. I'm done with finals now but I'm sure you already figured that out.

Guest: Sadly I don't think that will be possible with what I have planned but thanks for the review.

Okay. Now that that's done I can put in the new cards I came up with and were submitted to me.

Special thanks to MaxGundam1998 for making this card. Sadly I wasn't able to use it's really unique effect this duel but I can say for sure that it will be used in the future.

Now that that's done I'll get onto a few things I want to talk about.

1st is OCs. I forgot to address something. As you know there are more cards being made for Yu-Gi-Oh and that means there could be more support for archetypes in the future. So if there are any new cards released that you want your OCs to use be sure to tell me in a review or PM and I'll be sure to edit their decks for the future.

As you can see I've made Lisa part of the bad guys in this fic. I had this planned from the beginning and I hope you like this little twist. You can expect quite a few things to happen as a result.

Next chapter will feature the first OC character submitted by you guys and Doku's first duel. Expect the next chapter to be fun and violent.

Also be sure to tell me of any major mistakes I made in terms of writing and the duel because this was a really long chaper and odds are I'll miss some mistakes. Also on turn 9 I'm aware I could have had Lisa summon Light Phoenix as well but I forgot about him and when I realized it I was already well into the duel and on Lisa's last turn and decided against fixing that mistake.

I have made a lot more custom cards I didn't show off in this duel so expect lots more in the future.

I also have a queston for you guys: Should I come up with some custom Odd-Eyes support? Or do you think the archetype has enough? Be sure to let me know your thoughts on this.

Finally, I'm gonna have a little QnA. You guys can ask me anything so long as it's not offensive or super personal. For example, I won't say where exactly I live, my appearance and name. I will be answering your questions when I upload the card guide which should be in about a week.

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.
