A/N: And now! For the moment we've been waiting for! The start of the Maiami Championship! Oh the surprises and humor that will soon come... And don't expect a big duel to be in this chapter.
Disclaimer: We all know I don't own any Yugioh series. I also do not own Bella, Seth, Kai or any of Bella's counterparts; they go to their original owners.
*OPENING*
Now it's time to raise your hands up! Sing about your dreams now!
Always stand up! Raise your unbreakable flag!
We've made it past so many walls to get here
Now let's head for the future! Hands up!
(The background was completely white. Sketches of the You Show Duelists, Gongenzaka, and Yoko were being drawn. After they were drawn out, they were colored and toned, becoming fully animated as they seemed to be partying at someplace. The camera pans up into the air above the party as the title forms at the blue sky)
I'll just have to move on a little further and I'll reach the answer
(The scene changed to Yuya practicing his Pendulums then to Yuzu practicing with Sora on Fusion Summons)
I pressed on through this new world believing in that
(Gongenzaka was seen meditating under the waterfall, his way of getting stronger)
That's right, the pieces of our dreams have joined together as one
(Bella was at the park, chatting with her 'Pirate' monsters and her Xyz monster)
Connecting our unwavering bonds, let's head for a bright future!
(Qing was sitting on a rooftop with her six deck boxes before her. She looked up and saw her ace monsters of each deck looking down at her with a smirk, which she returned with her own)
Now it's time to raise your hands up! Sing about your dreams now!
(Yuya and Qing both Pendulum Summoned Odd-Eyes, Stargazer Magician, Naturu Butterfly and Naturu Ragweed, and then Fusion/Synchro Summon Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Naturu Parkion)
Always stand up! Raise your unbreakable flag!
(Sora and Bella performed their Fusion/Xyz Summon and had out Des-Toy Scissors Bear and Emperor of Hope, Utopia)
We've made it past so many walls to get here
Now let's head for the future!
(Yuzu and Gongenzaka summoned out their monsters and fused/tuned them into their new ace monsters)
Keep looking up! Keep your head held up high!
(There were quick shots of Hokuto to Masumi to Yaiba to Shingo. Shun was then seen looking up at LDS school with a glare on his face)
Always step up! Jump over the waves!
(Behind him stood a hooded female who seemed hesitant to even get close to him)
Carefully linking our wishes together, now let's head for the future!
(Yuto then appeared behind her and gave her some comfort)
We drift forward, riding the waves
meeting people, saying goodbye, and again,
underneath, this flag...
(The scene changed to Qing being in her home world playing Duel Monsters with many other Duelists, meeting the old and new and bidding farewell to those she never saw again)
I keep the pain I don't want to forget in my heart
on that day, I softly carved it into it
(As Qing got older, her best friends were going away, leaving her the only one to play Duel Monsters in the card shop they usually go to)
A freedom that I won't lose to anyone
I grasp it tight in my hands and go!
(She saw a glowing card before her, showing her all the good times she once had in her world and the times she had in the Arc-V world as she reached out to grasp it, engulfing the scene in bright light)
Now it's time to raise your hands up! Sing about your dreams now!
(She found herself in Arc-V world, in the middle of a duel with her friends cheering for her)
Always stand up! Raise your unbreakable flag!
We've made it past so many walls to get here
Now let's head for the future!
(She Pendulum Summoned her monsters and used those monsters to call out her best cards)
Keep looking up! Keep your head held up high!
Always step up! Jump over the waves!
Carefully linking our wishes together, now let's head for the future!
(The scene constantly and quickly went from good scenes at You Show Duel School to Qing declaring an attack, eventually stopped at a scene where her monsters combined their attacks and created fireworks)
Hands up!
(The scene changed to a screenshot of the You Show Duel School gang plus Gongenzaka and Yoko at the front of said Duel School)
The day had finally come. The day of the Maiami Championship. After that apparent 'Welcome Back' party You Show Duel School had for the Kobayashi brothers, things pretty much went back to normal, in which the students went and resumed their training for this event.
Now the day was here. The first day of the Maiami Championship.
Qing was already there, along with Seth and his brother.
"They sure are taking their time," the female of the three said.
"Probably the principal giving a passionate speech about how we managed to register for the championship," the older ninja of the three guessed.
"But if they don't get here sooner or later, they'll miss the opening," the youngest of the three pointed out.
"Still, for there to be three different class in this championship... Well, at least they made it fair to those Kai's age."
"Are you saying I'm not strong enough to beat you?" the child questioned the girl.
"Despite what it sounds, I was referring to all the other kids." Qing ruffled his hair.
"Hey. There they are," Seth said. The all looked and saw their fellow You Show duelists entering the building. Well, all but one.
"Where's Yuya-nii?" Kai asked his fellow Juniors.
One explanation later...
"WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S GONE?!" Qing, Seth and Kai questioned.
"We don't know! He was with us one minute, then when we got on the car he just disappeared!" Yuzu claimed.
"Don't be ridiculous! Unless if your a ninja or a ghost, you can't just vanish!" the otherworldly duelist claimed.
"Even a ninja doesn't just disappear!" Seth corrected, considering both he and Kai came from a ninja family.
"We'll just have to check and see if he managed to get here before us!" Bella suggested.
They nodded to his idea and ran around the building.
"Man Yuya! You're such a pain! Why did you just disappear?!" Qing questioned. She stopped in her place as she thought for a moment what she had just said.
'Disappear? Didn't something like this happen before?' she wondered. 'Not to me but...' She then had an idea as to where the boy could be and ran out.
*LATER**QING'S P.O.V* (Been a while since I did first person)
I checked everywhere! I checked the tallest buildings nearby! I checked the docks, while avoiding those Masked Xyz Duelists! As impossible and ridiculous as it is, I even checked Leo Duel School! And there is no sign of the boy! How I have the stamina and the speed for this is a miracle for me! But!
"WHERE THE HELL IS HE?!" I shouted to the skies, still running around the city like a chicken without a head. The ceremony was about to start soon, if it didn't already! "Oh, when I find that boy, there will be hell!"
I looked around as I ran, hoping to find the tomato-head boy! I saw two figures at the bridge, one of them whom I knew too well.
'Found him!' I ran at full speed to the two. When I was within arm's length, I didn't bother to stop and just grabbed the one who caused my troubles for today.
"Finally found you! You idiot fool!" I shouted, running back to the stadium.
"Wait! Where did you get this speed?!" Yep, the boy was definitely Yuya.
It took me a few minutes, record time, to arrive at the stadium. Of course, I still didn't stop since we have to line up by schools, so we had to meet up with everyone else.
They were within my line of sight and I had managed to skid to a stop. Well... At least I tried to stop. Instead, I crashed into a wall, Yuya right next to me.
"Did we make it...?" I managed to muffle out.
"Y-Yeah... You did," I heard Seth answered.
"Good..." Everything went black.
*GENERAL'S P.O.V*
To say they were surprise would be an understatement. They couldn't find Yuya anywhere in the stadium and tried to call him, his mom, and Qing, the latter whom suddenly disappeared as well. For them to suddenly came running, in Qing's case at least, and just slam themselves into a wall... Some entrance.
After getting the two out, while Yuya was still conscious, Qing, on the other hand, was knocked out cold. Thankfully, their school was the last one to be called, so they did whatever they could to bring her back to the living and active.
"Just where were you, Yuya?!" Bella scolded.
"No doubt some place where Qing was having a hard time finding, for her to be knocked out like this!" Yuzu answered for him.
"Sorry. I just wanted to take care of some things," the Pendulum User reasoned.
"You should've done them earlier! What do you think will happen if you missed out on this!" Seth also scolded.
"Qing-neechan! Get a hold of yourself!" Ayu begged, fanning the passed-out duelist as fast as possible with Futoshi.
"We got some water!" Tatsuya shouted, as he and Kai ran to them with bottles of water in their arms.
They all took a bottle and uncapped them, dumping the contents on Qing, hoping it would help her cool down faster and back into conscience. The plan seemed to work when Yuya dumped his bottle on her, causing him to have his collar grabbed and thrown to a wall head-first.
"The hell is wrong with you?!" And back with them was Qing Jungle.
"Good to see you too..." Yuya let out.
"And you!" She suddenly got up and grabbed the boy by the shoulders, relentlessly shaking him. "Where did you go off to?! It is the day of the Championship and you already got the smart idea to just up and disappear on us?! I almost lost feelings in my legs after running around the whole city for you!"
"The whole city?!" Futoshi repeated.
"Normal people wouldn't be able to move after that," Tatsuya pointed out.
"She should join the marathon," Ayu said.
"I'm sorry. Please spare me," Yuya begged, getting dizzy from the shaking.
"Like hell!" She then constantly slapped him silly.
Bella and Yuzu managed to separate the two. "N-now now, Qing. At least my brother's here now."
"I guess so."
"Excuse me. You guys are from You Show Duel School right?" an employee asked.
"Yes," Kai answered. "Is it our turn to walk?" The employee nodded.
"Well, time to go, guys," Seth said. They all nodded and walked to the stadium.
They all, along with all the other Duel Schools, gathered in the stadium.
"All of you who are gathered here today are the elite, having won your way out of many other Duelists! We expect you to duel your best while exhibiting fair play!" the mayor said. Everyone applauded for his words.
"Next, we will be conducting the oath of fair play!" Nico Smiley announced. Qing couldn't help but think he was this world's version of Adolf Hitler. "The players' representative this year is... You Show Duel School's Sakaki Yuya-kun!"
They all looked at the said duelist in shock.
"Huh?! Me?!" Even the boy himself was surprised.
"Yuya is-?!"
"Doing the oath?!" Yuzu and Bella asked.
"Wa-Wait a second! No one told me about-!"
Yuya was interrupted by Nico. "Sakaki Yuya-kun! To the stage please!" Two guys then came and dragged him to the mic.
"Yuya! If you're a man, pull it off in one go!" Gongenzaka encouraged.
Nico scooted over to the Pendulum User. "Yuya-kun, this is another step forward as an entertainer! Now, if you will..."
He picked himself up. "W-Well then..." He stood in front of the mic. "O-o-oath of fair play!" Everyone anime-fell at the lame intro.
"He never did this before," Qing stated.
"Nope," Seth confirmed.
"Yuya! Get it together! Everyone's watching!" Yuzu called.
Those words seemed to have calmed him somewhat. After a moment of silence, he began his oath. "Ladies and gentlemen! Pardon me for my earlier mistake! In order to turn that around, this is the oath of fair play! Is what I'd like to start off with, but I would like you to listen to what I have to say instead. My father is the Duelist, Sakaki Yushou! The best Entertainment Duelist in the world! But, as you all know, three years ago, before his duel began, he went away somewhere. Everyone called me the child of the runaway Duelist and I practiced Entertainment Dueling desperately saying 'I'll show them!' But at some point, I think I really ran away from actually Dueling. However, after discovering Pendulum Summoning and fighting really strong Duelists, I began to enjoy Dueling more and more. I realized I want to like Dueling even more! And I want to be like Sakaki Yushou, someone who people will be proud to know, the best Pro Duelist! I want to be a Duelist who can make myself and everyone else enjoy Dueling even more!" After that speech, one by one, people applauded for those heartfelt words.
"Excellent! That was Sakaki Yuya's oath of fair play as well as his declaration of his determination" Nico shouted. Yuya bowed and returned to his spot. "Now then, we'll now announce the first matches! All competitors, please put your registration card into your Duel Disk! The registration card receives communication from the Tournament Operator's Computers, and will guide you to your opponent. Of course, it will update when you qualify for the next round of the tournament!"
"That's convenient," Qing stated, inserting her card in her Duel Disk. A second or two later, it showed her opponent. "Eucliff Haku... By the looks of it, an LDS student. And in the afternoon too."
"My opponent is... Sawatari?!"
"Mine is... Masumi!?" Yuya and Yuzu announced.
"My opponent is tomorrow, against someone in the Architecture Duel School," Seth said.
"Mine is tomorrow too," Yuya said.
"Mine is today afternoon," Yuzu followed.
"Mine is tomorrow as well," came Gongenzaka's voice. They turned to him.
"Who's your opponent, Gongenzaka?" the 'Entermate' Duelist asked. The big guy showed the picture. "Ankokuji?"
"This must be fate."
"Mine is right after this!" Futoshi told them.
"Mind's after that!" Ayu followed.
"Mine is in the afternoon today," Bella followed.
"Alright! Today, we'll be cheering for Futoshi, Ayu, Bella, Qing and Yuzu!"
"What about you Sora?" Tatsuya asked.
"It's tomorrow. My opponent is from LDS," he replied.
"Who is it?" Qing asked.
"Kurosaki... Shun..."
Her eyes widened at the name. She looked over at the LDS side and saw Shun with them, along with-
'Azuma?!' Azuma was next to him. Her face was covered, but it was her with him. 'But why is she here?'
"Hiragi Yuzu. It seems you're my opponent," came Masumi's voice. The group turned to the three best duelists of LDS.
"Masumi! Tell me! Why is Kurosaki Shun listed as an LDS member?" Yuzu demanded.
'They met him too?' Qing wondered.
"What are you talking about? He's been part of our group from the start." Hearing those words from Masumi's mouth shocked the three teens.
"Azuma as well? The masked duelist with him," the multi-deck Duelist asked.
"Of course. You guys are asking such strange questions today," Yaiba replied.
Qing looked at the two Xyz Users in suspicion. Bella also looked at them suspiciously. After hearing her friend's interactions with them, it would be a bit odd for them to be in a group outside their own.
*LATER AGAIN*
The whole gang was in one of the arenas in the Junior Class. Futoshi was dueling against a boy from Smiling Duel School. On Futoshi's field was a face-down card and a drawing of a Stegosaur. On his opponent's field was a superhero in red, which reminded Qing of those Super Sentai shows she used to watch.
Takeshi: 2200 LP
Futoshi: 900 LP
"I attack Doodle Beast- Stego with Red Mask!" Takeshi declared.
"Trap card open! Doodlebook - Uh Uh Uh! When a 'Doodle' monster I control is targeted for an attack, that attack is negated!" Futoshi defended. His face-down was flipped and arms came out to grab Red Mask, who skidded to a stop.
"I end my turn," Takeshi ended.
"I'll make you feel shivers!" Futoshi declared as he drew his next card. "I can release one 'Doodle Beast' monster to Advance Summon my Level 8 Doodle Beast - Tyranno! I will release Stego!" The stegosaurus drawing dispersed into pixels and the chubby boy bounced off the bouncy floor. In the place of his Stego, a drawing of a Tyrannosaurus breathing fire appeared and he landed right on top of it.
Doodle Beast - Tyranno: Level 8/EARTH/Dinosaur/2400 ATK/1200 DEF
"And I activate Tyranno's effect! When this card is successfully Advance Summoned, I can destroy one monster my opponent controls!" His dinosaur sent the hero flying with its tail. "Then it gains half that monster's ATK until the end of this turn!"
Doodle Beast - Tyranno: 2400 + 800 = 3200 ATK
"Battle! I attack directly with Tyranno!" His monster went for the attack and ended the duel.
Takeshi: 0000 LP
Futoshi: 900 LP
WINNER: FUTOSHI!
"I got... The shivers..." the defeated duelist said.
"I did it!" Futoshi cheered.
After that duel, Futoshi met up with the rest of the gang by the arena.
"Well done, Futoshi! That will be a victory to remember at You Show!" Shuzo praised.
"You gave me the shivers, Futoshi!" Yuya added.
"Heheh, no problem!" the young boy boasted.
"Don't let your guard down, Futoshi! There's a proverb that says: 'Don't let your guard down even after a victory'. That is a warning to victors from the deceased," Gongenzaka advised.
"Gong-chan, you sound like an old man!" Sora mocked.
"Don't call me old!"
"Though those were wise words," Seth pointed out.
"Ayu-chan is up next," Yuzu recalled.
"Yep! I think my opponent is from LDS..." The young girl checked her Duel Disk.
Qing and Bella looked over her shoulder and couldn't believe who her opponent was.
"Bella, isn't this-?!"
"He is, Qing!"
Everyone looked at them in confusion.
"You know this boy, Qing-neechan? Bella-neechan?" Ayu asked.
Before either of them could say anything, a voice familiar to them spoke up. "Nee-sama!" They looked behind them and saw Reira running over to Qing and Bella, hugging the former. This only brought up more confusion to the rest of You Show.
"Nee-sama?" they repeated.
"Qing has a brother?" Yuya questioned.
