In LDS building, a young man with a long red scarf opens a door with another man in a black suit following behind him.
"Mr. President, we identified the girl." the man in the suit tells the younger man who is apparently his superior as he sits down in a chair crossing his legs.
"Her name is Yuya Sakaki. 14 years old. She's an eight grade student in the Maiami City School System." the man in the suit says a profile picture of Yuya appears on a screen followed by a picture of her eating ice cream with Yuzu.
"She is classified as Junior Youth in terms of Dueling. Here are her tournament results up to now." he continuous as he puts Yuya's dueling profile on screen.
"A roughly 50% Win-Loose Ratio...? Where does she duel?" the president asks.
"It seems she goes to a Duel School called 'You Show Duel School'. It's in the city." the man in the suit replies.
"You Show Duel School... Sakaki... Yuya?" the president ponders over the names.
"Yes, as you can see, she's the daughter of Yusho Sakaki." the man in the suit says as the screen switches to the life footage of the stadium where Yuya is trying to dodge the questions of reporters.
"So the daughter of Yusho Sakaki who, who vanished three years ago, performed a completely unknown form of Summoning?" the president thinks out loud.
"Investigate her personal life immediately. Report to me any information about the Pendulum Summons, no matter how trivial." the president orders as he stands up from his chair.
"Yes, sir!" the man in black replies.
Later that night, Yuya is sitting in her room with her cards spread around her. She then picks up Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and holds it in front of her.
"I don't know how but you and a lot of my other cards changed." she thinks as she sets the card aside and puts on her duel disk, and sets it to practice mode as she remembers the reporters questioning her earlier.
"How was I supposed to answer any of their questions. I remember what I did, but not how. And no one would believe me saying my cards transformed from effect monsters to pendulum monsters mid duel." she thinks as she takes two of her pendulum cards and places them on her duel disk.
Though when she attempts to pendulum summon an error appears on her duel disk.
"Why isn't it working?" she thinks before remembering what she said before pendulum summoning in her duel earlier.
She then takes Timegazer Magician and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and sets the scales with them. After that she attempts to summon Stargazer Magician and it works.
"So if the monsters have levels between the scales I can summon them, ok good to know. But what about the cards I put in the pendulum scale? I don't thing their monsters while in there, but what else could they be?" she thinks as she looks at the cards on her duel disk.
Then she got an idea. "That color, it's the same one as that of a magic card, so maybe.." she thinks as she picks up Cyclone and inserts it in her duel disk.
When the effect went through and the Timegazer she targeted with it gets destroyed she is pleased by having figured it out.
"So when inside the scales their magic cards. That could be useful for some combos." she thinks, as she puts down her duel disk and proceeds to look at each of her new cards.
"Before I said something about a Pendulum effect, and what I said and happened matches what is written in that new textbox on my magicians." she thinks as she exhales
"If I want to continue to use this method I need to understand the changes in my cards effects." she thinks as she sorts her cards into those that haven't changed, those that have and the ones that are completely new before proceeding to go through the last two one by one.
Once she is done she doesn't even get to bed as she just falls asleep on the floor with her cards, being to exhausted to actually get up.
After so many years, the plain in her dream had changed.
The clouds in the sky started parting just enough to let some starlight through, a slight almost non existent breeze could be felt every once in a while and while not having blossomed yet, flowers started growing in the grass.
Yuya was lying with her eyes closed, her head resting on Odd-Eyes neck as the dragon was curled around her as if it was trying to embrace her. Her other monsters watched from a little distance, happy that things seemed to be starting to return to how they used to be.
While she was lying around Yuya could feel someone's hands doing her hair, the touch making her feel at ease with a small smile appearing on her face.
The next day, when Yuya woke up and saw the clock her eyes widened.
"Oh no. I overslept!" she thinks out loud, as she rushes downstairs to get some breakfast and head of.
"Morning mom." she says as she sits down at the table and starts eating the pancakes that were waiting for her.
"Morning sleepyhead. Had a good rest?" Yoko asks as she washes her plate.
"It was fine, weird dream though. But why didn't you wake me up? I know I don't have school today but I'm going to be late at the duel school now." Yuya says while stuffing her mouth with pancakes.
"Being late once isn't that bad, besides you beat the champion yesterday, a good nights rest is the least you deserve after that." Yoko says as walks over to Yuya and rubs her head.
"Your right, I guess. Well I'm off." Yuya says as she finishes her breakfast and runs out of the house.
After entering You Show she is immediately greeted by two energetic children.
"Big sis Yuya!" they both say almost in unison as they rush over to her.
"Hey there Ayu and Futoshi. How are you doing?" she says with a smile as she looks at the younger children in front of her.
"Big sis, a lot of people came to apply for the duel school earlier." Ayu starts.
"But they all left after seeing you weren't here. It was so uncool it gave me the shivers." Futoshi finishes as he wiggles around a bit at the last sentence.
"Sory about that." Yuya says rubbing the back of her head, feeling a bit guilty.
"Don't worry about it." Yuzu says as she walks over to them.
"If the only reason they came was to see you use that new method than it's better if they leave anyway. Besides we got one actual student out of it. Come over here no need to be shy." Yuzu says as she motions to someone to come to them.
The child approaching seemed to be around the same age as Ayu and Futoshi, and had blue hair.
"My name is Tatsuya, nice to meet you." the boy says though he is clearly nervous.
"Wait I know you, you were here a few days ago." Yuya says remembering he was the boy who watched her duel with Gongenzaka before the system broke down.
"Yeha my parents were considering enrolling me here. They almost settled for LDS, but after seeing you duel yesterday the decision basically made itself. I admit the summoning you used was really amazing, but what got me so interested was the way you dueled." he said giving her a excited smile.
"The way I dueled?" Yuya asks.
"Yes! The way you brought all those people together like that with a single duel and the way you were having fun with your monsters while doing it. I also want to be able to duel like that!" he said excited, with Yuya blushing a bit at his words.
"Well then Yuya, it looks like you got your first fan." Yuzu says giving her friend a smile.
"First fan, huh." Yuya thinks as she smiles.
"Well then welcome to You Show Tatsuya, glad to have you with us." Yuya tells him.
"Glad to be here. Also do you mind if I also call you big sis?" he asks.
"Sure no problem." Yuya tells him at which he smiles.
"Yuya!!" they hear Shuzo's voice as he runs towards the stopping inches before Yuya.
"Morning, principal. Where were you by the way?" Yuya asks backing away a bit.
"He was hugging the new Solid Vision system we got after your duel yesterday." Yuzu awswer with a annoyed sigh, at which Yuya sweat drops a little.
"Yuya, could you start teaching that new summoning method of yours? If you do maybe those applicants from earlier will come back." he asks before getting hit by Yuzu's fan.
"You can't just ask her to do this like that. Also while I agree we need students it's better to have real ones than have people who are only interested in Yuya's cards and not our way of dueling." she tells him.
"I'd really like to help principal, but the thing is I can't really teach Pendulum summoning." Yuya says earning a puzzled look from everyone.
"What do you mean, you can't" Shuzo asks.
"Well to Pendulum summon you need pendulum cards so.." Yuya tries to explain.
"Pendulum cards? Can I see them?" Yuzu asks.
"Sure." Yuya says pulling out her deck and handing it to Yuzu.
Looking between the top card of Yuya's deck which is Timegazer Magician and the top card of her deck which is Aria the Melodious Diva she grows curious.
"So, this is a pendulum card." she says her sentence being closer to a question than a statement.
"And you need those to Pendulum summon?" Shuzo asks looking at he card as Yuzu hands Yuya her deck.
"Yes, sorry about that." Yuya says rubbing the back of her head.
"Well considering the crowd from earlier it's better we don't use those to get people to come here." Yuzu says.
"Why not?" Shuzo asks not getting it which irritates Yuzu.
"Because if you consider the way the people from earlier acted they will only end up leaving again because they won't be able to use the summoning method themselves. And worst case I don't want them calling Yuya a cheat because she's the only one with those cards." she says, whispering the last part to him so Yuya doesn't hear her.
"Well I guess you are right. Sorry for asking Yuya." he says, understanding what his daughter meant.
"Don't worry principal. You're only trying too look after the school after all." she says giving him a reassuring smile.
In a game room a young man with blond and brown hair is talking on his duel disk.
"So... I just got to steal them? Those 'Pendulum Cards' or whatever?" he asks.
"Correct. And I won't question your methods. As long as you get them to us, I'll trade you those rare cards you've been after." the other person on the line tells him, while the youth throws darts.
"Roget that." the youth says smirking, as he throws his last dart at a picture of Yuya.
The next day, at Maiami Second Junior High School, Yuya doesn't pay attention in class. When the teacher calls on Yuya to answer the math problem he was writing on the blackboard and she doesn't react the teacher yells her name, at which gets her attention at last. When he asks her for an excuse she tries to make an excuse to avoid trouble, only to earn herself a smack from Yuzu's fan.
After school Yuya and Yuzu walk toward the exit.
"What's wrong? You weren't paying attention in class today at all." Yuzu asks her friend with a hint of concern on her voice.
"I just have something on my mind that's all." she says.
"Is everything okay?" she asks getting concerned.
"It's nothing really I've just had some wired dreams lately that's all. Though I don't remember them at all something about them just feel wired. I'm not making any sense right now am I?" Yuya says.
Before Yuzu can answer, they find Ayu, Tatsuya and Futoshi waiting for them in front of the school gate.
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" Yuya asks as she and Yuzu approach them.
"We wanted to ask you if you could show us your Pendulum Summon." Tatsuya asks.
"Sure. Onward to Duel School!" Yuya says.
After a few steps three sucker darts fly towards her and hit her in the middle of her face.
"What the.." Yuzu asks.
"A triple Bullseye! 150 Points!" they hear someone say when they look in front of them they see a young man, seemingly their age, with brown and blonde hair holding a fourth dart identical to the ones that hit Yuya.
"Pretty impressive, right?" the youth asks.
"Bullseye?" Yuya asks, not understanding what is happening.
"You're Yuya Sakaki, aren't you? I'm Shingo Sawatari from Class one, nice to meet you!" Sawatari says as he walks up to Yuya and takes her right hand and starts shaking it.
"Huh? Oh.. yeah.." Yuya says, confused why Sawatari chose to throw darts at her to introduce himself.
"I saw it on TV, it was amazing, your duel against Strong Ishijima that is! Especially that Pendulum Summon, that was the best! What were those cards you used for it called again?" Sawatari asks still holding Yuya's hand, much to her discomfort.
"You mean the Pendulum Cards?" she asks.
"Yes! those! Like I thought, rare cards like those are only usable by truly chosen people, right?" Sawatari says, making Yuya blush.
Seeing that Yuzu get's frustrated and pulls Yuya's hand out of Sawatari's, before pulling the darts of her face and shoving them into Sawatari's hands.
"Thank you for the compliment but we really must get going." Yuzu says, trying to just get them to leave.
"Ah yes. I did happen to overhear you before. And if you want to show them Pendulum Summon I can offer a more fitting stage for it." Sawatari says.
"Until five we can use the LDS Center Court. I happen to have a reservation today." he says, surprising both Yuya and Yuzu.
"I happen to be a top student at LDS after all. My father is also expected to be the city's next mayor as well. I just asked him and he gladly gave it to me." Sawatari says flashing his LDS badge.
While the younger children get excited at the idea of seeing Pendulum Summon at LDS Center Court, Yuzu is unimpressed and slightly annoyed at the fact that the kids got so excited, even though they could also do it at You Show, while Yuya rubs the her behind her back at the spot Sawatari touched her to hide her discomfort at it.
But after seeing the excitement they have both Yuya and Yuzu go along with the idea, with Yuzu saying that she is just going to check out the competition.
"I thought you'd say that. Now, shall we go?" Sawatari asks.
At that they make their way to LDS, with the kids both running and dragging Yuya with them, with Yuzu right behind them telling them to slow down.
Once he is behind them Sawatari stops and makes a hand motion as of throwing a dart.
"Everything is going as planned." he says his nice smile replaced by a evil smirk.
Once they arrive the children are impressed at the school's interior to the point they have sparkles in their eyes.
"Welcome to LDS. Leo Duel School, LDS for short. As you can tell from the name it is a Duel School run by the Leo Corporation." Sawatari tells, them as he leads them toward Center Court.
"It's the top ranked instituition too!" Tatsuya says, Futoshi being impressed by his knowledge.
"Well, my Mom kept telling me that here would have been a better choice for me to enroll." he says, while also explaining that they have basically the best of everything.
At that Ayu says that it basically got everything their Duel School doesn't. To which Sawatari commends her for her knowledge.
"Well, sorry we're just a run down school after all!" Yuzu sarcastically says, annoyed from what she is hearing.
"But it's true about them having things we don't though." Yuya admits, looking at a curriculum plan.
"They don't just cover the basic on summoning"s they've got specific courses, XYZ, Synchro and even one on Fusion!" she says.
At the mention of fusion, boy with light cyan hair stops and looks back at her before continuing his way. Yuya looks at him as he walks away before Yuzu snaps her out of her thoughts, and Sawatari points to the direction of Center Court.
When they arrive at Center Court, the children are amazed by it's size, and Futoshi says that he always wanted to see it.
From the opposite direction they came from three more boys approach them, the one with brown hair greeting the group.
"Those kids are also fans of you. Could we show them those cards, the ones you used to Pendulum Summon?" Sawatari asks
"Huh? But.." Yuya tries to say.
"It'll just be for a moment, come on." Sawatari assures her.
Though very reluctant Yuya agrees and pulls out Stargazer and Timegazer Magician.
Sawatari then takes them and shows them to his friends, who get amazed over them and exclaim their desire to have them as they pas them between each other.
Sawatari then takes them back.
"We can't have that, these aren't yours, right?" he says as he looks at them, his smile turning into a smirk.
He then turns to Yuya
"After all these, are going to be added to MY Collection" he says holding them up. Shocking Yuya and Yuzu.
"See, I just love rare and strong cards, I just hate putting weak cards in my deck. So, I'm saying I'll be taking these of your hands." he adds, his smirk turning sinister at that.
"So that's why you brought us here!" Yuzu says, clearly angry at the realization.
"Not just for that, since I have them now I'd like to try them out. You guys want to see a Pendulum Summon right?" he says, pocketing the cards and turning to his friends, who arrogantly agree.
"That's why I made the reservation for the Center Court." he says as he puts on his duel disk.
Yuya tries to argue with him, but Sawatari approaches her saying that everyone came to see a Pendulum Summon. Once he is in front of her he pulls her goggles and snaps them back on her face, causing her to fall backward.
"What? You don't want to duel me?" he asks in slight annoyance.
"That's enough. Your job was only to get us the Pendulum Cards." a voice from his duel disk says.
"Aha, Nakajima, unfortunately, that wasn't my goal. I've wanted these cards for myself from the start." Sawatari arrogantly replies.
"What are you thinking! Don't do anything unnecessa-" Nakajima yells at him before being cut of.
"No let him do it." someone tells him from behind.
"Prrsident!" Nakajima exclaims surprised.
"Just let him use them." the president says.
"So that's the deal." Sawatari says snapping his fingers, at which two of his goons restrain Yuzu while the third restrains the children.
"Stop it! Let them go!" Yuya yells at him.
"Don't worry I'm just having them help out with our duel." Sawatary says, confusing Yuya.
"Oh that's right, since I feel bad for just taking them. Here, I'll give you all of these. After all WORTHLESS TRASH should stick with trash!" he says as he tosses a deck of cards at Yuya's feet.
Yuya is caught in state of panic as she looks at the cards. What really shocks her is the fact she thought she actually heard their cries at being called trash. She kneels down and gathers them.
"No card is trash." she mumbles, while looking at the cards in her hand, still on her knees.
"Is this really okay" Nakajima asks the president.
"Yeah, let this play out." he answers.
"I'll decide the field. That which imprisons feeble princesses, Rise up here and now! Action field on. Dark Town's Prison Tower!" Sawatari declares.
The action field activates and chains burst out of the ground surrounding Yuzu and the children, before they find themselves standing on a chain bound tower.
"The princess, should be imprisoned in the tower, don't you agree?" Sawatari smugly asks.
Yuya jumps from one manifesting building to another to reach them, before the towers size and a water canal stop her.
"Yuzu!!" she yells worried about her friend.
"What is happening?!" Futoshi asks, panicked.
"The Solid Vision has started materializing so we are being effected by it too!" Tatsuya answers.
Yuya runs toward the tower before being cut of by Sawatari.
"If you want to save them, then duel me. Yuya." he says holding up his duel disk while leaning to a wall, with an arrogant look on his face.
"Sawatari!" Yuya says as she glares at him, as she pulls out her duel disk and puts it on.
Before the duel begins she takes one of the cards Sawatari tossed at her and puts in her deck, which is automatically shuffled.
"Looks like you're finally up to do this. Let's get started, shall we!" he says activating his duel disk.
"Duelists locked in battle!" goon 1 starts.
"Kicking against the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters!" goon 2 continues.
"They storm through this Field!" goon 3 continues.
"Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling!" Sawatari finishes.
"Action!"
"Duel!" "Duel!" Yuya and Sawatari say, at which the action cards disburst.
Turn: 1
Yuya: 4000 LP
Hand: 5
Sawatari: 4000 LP
Hand: 5
"I'm first!" Yuya says as she runs past Sawatari.
"I summon Entermate Whip Viper!" Yuya says, as her monster appears and coils around her right arm.
Entermate Whip Viper (LV.4) (1700ATK/900DEF)
She the uses her monster to swing over a building toward the tower her friends are on.
"I end my turn!" she says.
"My turn! Draw!" Sawatari begins his turn.
Turn: 2
Yuya: 4000 LP
Hand: 4
Sawatari: 4000 LP
Hand: 6
As he looks at his hand he spots Timegazer Magician and is about to use him, but
"Not yet." the president's voice stops him, sending chills down his spine.
"And who are you? I am at a good point right now." Sawatari says into his duel disk, with a hint of annoyance, before trying to play the card.
"I thought I told you, 'not yet'." the president repeats himself, this time making Sawatari shake in fear.
"What are you getting so upset for?" Sawatari says trying to regain his composure, as he wiped some sweat of his forehead.
"I got it, I summon Lightning Board!" he says as his monster appears, and he hops on to it using it to chase Yuya.
Lightning Board (LV.4) (1400ATK/1200DEF)
"You're desperate aren't you Yuya? But.. that's all part of my plan too." he says as his face twists into a smirk again.
When Yuya get's to the bridge the tower is on she spots an action card and tries to take it but..
"Wha a Trap Card?!" she exclaims.
"It's the Action Trap Break Shot." Sawatari tells her through their duel disks, as the card pops and activates.
Giant billiard balls roll toward her. She escapes by jumping and balancing on one but Whip Viper gets flattened beneath them.
"Breakshot lowers the Attack points of one monster by 900." Sawatari explains as Whip Viper turns back to normal and it's ATK decrease
Entermate Whip Viper (LV.4) (1700 - 800ATK/ 900DEF)
"How stupid of you, Action Cards aren't only beneficial! There's Trap Cards among them as well! And more importantly, your friends you were supposed to be saving are in even more danger now." Sawatari tells her.
Yuya gets confused at the last part, before she realizes the ball she was balancing on is about to crash into the tower's wall. She gets propelled forward and crashes into it herself, while the impact destabilizes the tower's balance.
Because of that Futoshi almost falls of, but is saved by Yuzu who grabs him by his legs, while Tatsuya and Ayu hold on to her.
Yuya gets concerned about her friends and Sawatari declares the battle phase.
"I attack Whip Viper with Lightning Board! Lightning Darts!" Sawatari calls.
Yuya runs trying to think of something. When she sees an action card she goes towards it but stops.
"Sawatari picked this field, so the odds are high that this is another trap" she thinks and decides to ignore the card.
Sawatari's attack hits, destroying Whip Viper and catapults Yuya off the bridge into the water below.
Yuya: 4000 - 3400 LP
"I end my turn." Sawatari declares.
Yuya climbs out of the canal. Before glaring at Sawatari and staring her turn.
"My Turn! Draw!"
Turn: 3
Yuya: 3400 LP
Hand: 5
Sawatari: 4000 LP
Hand: 5
"I summon Entermate Amenboat!" she declares as she jumps on her monster and tries to get to the tower by water this time.
Entermate Amenboat (LV.4) (500ATK/1600DEF)
"I'm coming guys!" she calls
"Yuya's remaining LP are 3400. I'll shoot it down and finish this. Everything is going just like I planned." Sawatari says, as he sees Yuya as the bullseye target on a dart bort.
"My turn! Draw!" he declares.
Turn: 4
Yuya: 3400 LP
Hand: 4
Sawatari: 4000 LP
Hand: 6
"That's a good card you've drawn." the president tells him.
"Hm? Oh, I get it. I release my Level four Lightning board and activate the Magic Card: Release Trade! This let's me add a monster from my deck to my hand that is one Level higher than the one I released! I add Level five Stargzer Magician to my hand!" he declares as he shows Yuya the card.
"Statgazer Magician?!" Yuya says in a mix of surprise and anger.
"That's right one of MY Pendulum Cards!" Sawatari declares arrogantly.
"But you need two of them to Pendulum Summon!" Yuya says.
Sawatari chuckles and tells her that he is the chosen one, to which her eyes widen.
"Yes! Timegazer Magician has been in my hand from the start! A super rare human like myself is suited to use super rare cards like these! I'm just favored by the cards!" he says arrogantly as he bursts into laughter.
"Set the Pendulum Cards." the president orders him.
"Set them. Using Scale One Stargazer Magician" the president says
"Using Scale One Stargazer Magician" Sawatari mimics
"And Scale Eight Tmegazer Magician"
"And Scale Eight Timegazer Magician"
"I set the Pendulum Scale!" they say in sync.
The two Magicians apear in pillars of light.
"Pendulum Summon!" Sawatari declares in sync with the president.
"Level Five Power Darts Shooter! Level Six Rocket Darts Shooter! and Level Seven Ultimate Darts Shooter!" Sawatari declares as his three monster apear.
Power Darts Shooter (LV.5) (1800ATK/700DEF)
Rocket Darts Shooter (LV.6) (1900ATK/100DEF)
Ultimate Darts Shooter (LV.7) (2400ATK/300DEF)
"Yes! This is AMAZING! Pendulum Summoning is the BEST!" Sawatari declares as Yuya watches in a mix of disbelief and horror. Yuzu and the children watch in disbelief, with Yuzu getting worried about Yuya. Meanwhile the cyan haired boy from earlier watches the duel from the stands.
"Good." the president says satisfied with what he is seeing.
"No one can stop me now! And now that I can Pendulum Summon I'm done with you!" Sawatari declares as he enters the battle phase.
"I attack Entermate Amenboat with Power Darts Shooter!" Sawatari says as his monster fires darts at Yuya and her monster.
Yuya orders her monster to hurry and it moves away. She spots an Action Card but decides not to take it since it might be a trap again.
"So she won't fall for it twice! But it's not like she could avoid the attack anyway!" Sawatary says arrogantly.
"I activate Amenboats effect! When it becomes the target of an attack it can switch to Defense Mode and negate the attack!" Yuya declares, as her monsters wing move before her to shield her and the darts that were flying their way dissolve.
Entermate Amenboat (LV.4) (500ATK/1600DEF)
Sawatari gets frustrated that he missed, but declares that he has still plenty of Pendulum Summoned monsters left.
"I attack Entermate Amenboat with Rocket Darts Shooter!" he says, to which his monster fires at Yuya destroying her monster and sending her flying into the water.
"Nice darts, me!" he says as Yuya swims to the surface.
"We are not done yet, Yuya! Ultimate Darts Shooter, direct attack!" he commands his monster blasting Yuya out of the water and throwing her next to the bridges support, with two of the projectiles hitting it destabilizing the tower further
Yuya: 3400 - 1000 LP
Up on the tower Futoshi is about to fall but is being held by his hand by Yuzu. He cries that it's all over but Yuzu says they can't give up since Yuya hasn't.
"You have some life left but, I wonder if you have any will to fight? I set one card face down and end my turn." Sawatari taunts as he ends his turn, with his facedown materializing.
Yuya still on the ground realizes that Pendulum is not only her power and asks her father for advice, clutching her pendant in her hands. At that she remembers her fathers advice and starts laughing, confusing Sawatari.
"I've got to save everyone!" she thinks.
"My turn! Draw!"
Turn: 5
Yuya: 1000 LP
Hand: 5
Sawatari: 4000 LP
Hand: 0
Yuya looks at the card she drew and then her hand before smiling.
"I summon Lemon Magician Girl!" she declares, as the young magician girl with blonde hair and a yellow outfit appears on her field, sticking her tongue out playfully.
Lemon Magician Girl (LV.2) (800ATK/600DEF)
"A level two monster with 800 Attack point? That's a 'garbage' card you are using there!" Sawatari laughs, mocking the card earning a pout from it.
"Thanks to the card you threw away, I got another chance." Yuya states to which the magician girl smiles.
"That was my card? It's level is so low I don't even remember having it!" he replies arrogantly, the magician girl glaring at her former owner at that statement.
Yuya looks at her hand again and picks out two cards.
"I place two cards face down and end my turn!" she declares as her facedowns manifest.
"My turn, Draw!" Sawatari declares.
Turn: 6
Yuya: 1000 LP
Hand: 1
Sawatari: 4000 LP
Hand: 1
"The Pendulum Cards are most likely Magic Cards right now." the president tell him over his duel disk.
"Magic Cards? I really am chosen by the cards!" he wonders before laughing arrogantly.
"I activate the Magic Card Cricket Close. By negating two Magic Cards on my field, I can negate one of your cards!" Sawatari exclaims.
Yuya's eyes widen at that.
"Okay something's up. It's one thing if he can figure out how to use them, but figuring out that they are Magic Cards is something else entirely!" Yuya thinks, then remembers him looking at his duel disk from time to time as if he was listening to something "So somone's telling him what to do. Figures him figuring out my cards all on his own was too outlandish to be true!" she thinks as she narrows her eyes at him in rage.
Two transparent dart boards appear and lock onto the magicians sealing them away. To her surprise Yuya hears their screams of pain, her anger at Sawatari intensifying.
"I target the facedown on the right to keep you from using it!" Sawatari says as twin lightning get's shot at the card.
"I activate my Trap Card Card of Pandora! Since you activated an effect that targeted one of my cards in the Magic and Trap zone that could have targeted this card, your effect gets redirected to this card and I draw two cards!" Yuya declares as her trap takes the blast from Cricket Close and she draws two cards.
Sawatari gets frustrated at that and his anger rises to a new high.
"That's it! I'm not letting you have another turn! It doesn't matter what that set card is I'm ending you now!" Sawatari yells at her in outrage.
"Don't loose your cool or else-" the president tries to get him to calm down, but Sawatari mutes his duel disk much to the presidents annoyance.
"I release Power Darts and Rocket Darts Shooter to activate their effects and power up Ultimate Darts Shooter! Power Darts gives my Ultimate Darts Shooter 600 extra Attack points while Rocket Darts let's him deal piercing Damage! No matter what you have set it won't change a thing!" Sawatari says laughing like a lunatic while his dart shooters become attachments to Ultimate Darts blaster, who aims it at Lemon Magician Girl.
Ultimate Darts Shooter (LV.7) (2400 - 3000ATK/300DEF)
"I attack Lemon Magician Girl with Ultimate Darts shooter! Ultimate Full Shot! l" he declares as his monster fires a massive rocket that fires several darts at the magician girl.
"I activate Lemon Magician Girls effect! When you attack her I can summon a Spellcaster-Type monster from my hand and redirect your attack to it! I now summon Entermate Sky Magician Girl!' Yuya declares as a young magician girl with green hair dressed in white and pink appeared, wearing a white hat with pink feathers, a white cape, while she hovered smiling in the air sitting in a golden ring while holding on to two others.

Yuzu's eyes widen at that recognizing the card, since it's the one Yuya got from her father before he disappeared. In the control room the presidents eyes widen slightly recognizing the monster as the female counterpart of Yusho Sakakis ace Entermate Sky Magician.
"Also your Ultimate Darts Shooters Attack points get cut in half!" Yuya continues, as Lemon Magician Girl blasts Ultimate Darts Shooter with her wand weakening him.

Sawataris eyes widen at that.
"I activate the Trap Undermining Darts! When my Darts Shooter battles he can't be destroyed and you take the Damage instead of me!" Sawatari calls slightly panicked by him almost loosing his strongest monster.
Sky Magician Girl counters Ultimate Dart but he isn't destroyed and the blast from it hits Yuya, while parts of it hit the bridge support causing her friends to fall.
"I activate my Trap Empty Fishing. When I would take Battle Damage I can halve it and target two cards on the field with negated effects and add them to my hand!' Yuya exclaims.
Yuya: 1000 - 750 LP
"Cards with negated effects..? Wait you mean-?!" Sawatari gasps realizing what she is going for.
"That's right! I'm taking back my Magicians you stole!" she declares as the magicians regain their physical forms.
"Please save them!" she calls to her monsters.
The magicians on her field and the ones she freed from Sawatari move in and each catch one of the falling people, with Stargazer catching Yuzu, Timegazer Futoshi, Lemon Magician Girl Tatsuya and Sky Magician Girl Ayu.
They come down behind Yuya depositing their passengers there before the Magician Girls returned to the front of the field while the other two vanish with Yuya catching their cards as they are thrown at her.
"I'm glad you guys are okay! I'm sorry it took me so long!" Yuya says as she rushes over to them ignoring Sawatari.
"It's okay, we are fine now. Thanks for the save." Yuzu says, giving her a relived smile with the children following her example.
At that site Yuya smiles looking at the two magicians on her field and in her hand.
"Thank you." she whispers. At that the two on the field flash her a smile.
"Hey! The duel isn't over!" Sawatari yells getting their attention.
"I activate Ultimate Darts Shooter's effcet! My released darts shooters return to my field during the end phase! I end my turn." he says as his other monster return and he regains his arrogant composure.

"My turn! Draw!" Yuya starts her turn.
Turn: 7

Hand: 5
Sawatari: 4000 LP
Hand: 0
"Let's do this guys." she says looking at her cards.
"The fun has just begun!" Yuya declares as the entire city on the action field grows dark.
Sawatari grows confused while Yuya's friends who know what's about to happen start to chant 'Pendulum' again and again, even the cyan haired boy watching joined in.
Up on the bridge to spotlights apers, beneath them Yuya with her monsters.
"Ladies and Gentleman! Are you prepared for today's grand finale?" she asks to which her friends cheer
"First off if you're asking for Pendulum you must not forget these two! Now watch closely as they will bring out the last members of today's star cast! You ready?" she asks, the cheers intensifying.
"Using Scale One Stargazer Magician and Scale Eight Timegazer Magician I set the Pendulum Scale! Whith this I can summon multiple monsters from Levels Two to Seven!" she says.
"Swing, Pendulum of the soul! Draw an arc of light across the aether! Pendulum Summon! Appear now, my monsters!" she chants as two strikes of light emerge from the portal.
"Entermate Drumming Kong! and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" she says as her monsters appear.
Entermate Drumming Kong (LV.5) (P.S.2) (1600ATK/900DEF)
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (LV.7) (P.S.4) (2500ATK/2000DEF)
Yuya's friends cheer at that while sawatari takes a step back.
"Battle! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dargon! Attack Power Darts Shooter! At this moment I activate Drumming Kongs effect! Now Odd-Eyes gains 600 Attack points until the end of the Battle Phase!" she says as Odd-Eyes moves in to attack and Drumming Kong hits its drum chest powering up Odd-Eyes.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (Lv.7) (P.S.4) (2500 - 3100ATK/2000DEF)
"Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragons effect! Since it battles a Level five or higher monster the damage is doubled! Reaction Force!" she calls as Odd-Eyes attack intensifies and destroys Power Darts and blasts Sawatari off his feat into the canal.
Sawatari: 4000 - 1400 LP
"Now Entermate Drumming Kong! Attack Ultimate Darts Shooter!" she calls and Drumming Kong crushes Ultimate Darts, Shooter propelling Sawatari who just got out of the canal forward.
Sawatari: 1400 - 700 LP
"Entermate Sky Magician Girl! Attack Rocket Darts Shooter!" the magician girl giggles as one of her rings starts glowing before she tosses it at Rocket darts, whose destruction causes Sawatari to land on his face, before catching the returning ring in her hand.
Sawatari: 700 - 600 LP
Sawatari gets up dusting himself off.
"Not bad, but your out of monsters now!" he calls oblivious to reality.
"Aren't you forgetting soemone Sawatari?" she asks playfully. At that Sawataris eyes widen remembering she still has Lemon Magician Girl.
"It's time for tonight's finale Lemon Magician Girl! Attack Sawatari directly!" she calls, to which her monster laughs before giving of a devious smile and blasts Sawatari with a yellow energy sphere, throwing him backwards.
Sawatari: 600 - 0
Winner: Yuya
The action field dissolves and Yuya stands with her friends as Sawatari gets up surrounded by his goons.
"If it has come to this.. I'll just take them by force! Guys get them!" he declares, as he sicks his goons on them.
But before anyone can react a lollipop stick flies their way knocking them out.
"Man these guys, were just uncool until the end weren't they?" the cyan haired boy who threw the stick says.
"Did you just-?" Yuya questions, speechless at what she saw.
"You looked really cool back there!" the boy tells her.
"Are you an LDS student too?" she asks.
"I was planning to but now I'm not. I'm going to be your apprentice!" the boy declares, shocking them all.
"My apprentice?" Yuya asks, to double check her situation.
"Jep! If I'm going to have someone teach me I might as well pick someone interesting! And since I came here you're the most interesting person I've seen!" the boy says smiling.
"Did you do that?" Yuzu asks, pointing at Sawatari and his goons, to which he replies that he just knocked them unconscious.
"I'm Sora Shiunin! Nice to meet you!" he says introducing himself, Yuya shaking his hand in confusion.
"Hurry up and follow them! Take back the Pendulum Cards!" Nakajima orders back in the control room.
"No, that's enough." the president says surprising him.
"You gave me a good show, Yuya Sakaki.." he says as he watches her leave over the monitor.
