Hello everyone, KR Vidar Zwei here to publishing my non-crossover story and welcome to my first Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V: Stardust Hope. So, tell me what do you think of this story and give me a review.
And this story is about my OC; Akiyama Yusei is a cold loner, hardcore personality, and a retired Duelist with a tragedy past. But his deck is Fudo Yusei's Junk and Stardust deck, and I'm leaning towards OC x Ruri Kurosaki action and romance, maybe if I'm very bold and daring, have Yuzu, Serena, and Rin join in to make them more connected to him on his personal level.
Possibly have Rin and Ruri rescued earlier than in the canon so they have more screen time since they don't get much of it in the series and give them what they deserve.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V, which it belongs to respective owners. I just own this story and my OC's.
Rest In Peace Mr. Kazuki Takahashi. The best author of Yu-Gi-Oh series!
Turn 1: The Lone Duelist with the Gathering Star!
(Ruined City)
That's the only way he could describe the scene unfolding before his eyes. Smoke and dust filled in the air. The beautiful buildings were now covered in ruin, vehicles were crashed, the streets were laid to waste, and the people were fleeing in fear from God knows whatever horrendous calamity. The entire city was in completely ruined and destroyed.
Suddenly, an inhuman roar was heard in the distance. Turning his head towards the direction the howl was heard, his heart almost froze in terror at the sight he saw.
A colossal dragon shrouded in darkness was hovering over wrecked tower. Following his thunderous roar, the behemoth unleashed a powerful energy blast from its mouth, wiping out another city in an instant.
However, he noticed the dragon turned its head back towards the tower. Curious about it, he also turned there and was shocked at what he saw.
A person was standing there resolutely, looking like challenge the dragon, a foolish notion in all aspects in his opinion. However, that person, who appeared to be female, although her face was obscured.
For some reason, the sight of this girl standing up against the dragon brought a pain in his heart. He didn't know why he felt so strongly about this scene.
At that moment, the four cards appeared above the girl and a vortex of energy swirled around her, eventually forming four bracelets. The bracelets let out a stream of multi-colored lights that almost blinded him, with the dragon letting out an outraged howl of pain.
[Damn you! You accursed bastard!]
He was quite shocked to realize that voice came from the dragon as he noticed that a shadowy bulge in the shape of a human was protruding from the dragon's chest.
[Unforgivable! You're unforgivable! We will—become oneeeee!]
And then, the dragon seemingly split apart, accompanied by a thunderous explosion that quickly engulfed him in its wake, the last thing he managed to hear being a man's mournful cries.
(Now)
???: Gah!
The young man jolted up as he was sitting on his bed, waking up from the morning. He then wiped the sweat from his forehead with his right hand, before taking a deep breath.
???: That dream, huh...?
He turned to the window as he peered at his reflection as if seeking for answers there. Then, he got up from his bed and went towards the bathroom, staring at the mirror. He was 15 years old teenage boy with slightly taller, his eyes were navy blue and his black short spiky hair that resembles Ren Akiyama from Kamen Rider Ryuki.
After staring at the mirror for a while, the teenage boy let out a sigh. He brushed his teeth, took a cold shower, and put on his clothes. He was wearing a charcoal round-necked shirt with black leather long car coat, which was unbuttoned. He was also wearing black jeans with black leather belt that secured to his waist, black socks, and black short-length harness boots. This is Akiyama Yusei.
Yusei then picked up keys, wallet, a silver necklace with triple rings as it have two titanium rings and a gold ring. He wore the necklace around his neck. Then, he picked up the dark blue-coloured Duel Disk and deck box that contained a full of Duel Monster cards. However, he stared at his deck for a while, before he let out a sigh.
Yusei:(mutters) If I believed in reincarnation, I would woke up in my world, not woke up in the world of Duel Monster cards game... But I already give up on playing Duel Monster card games forever.
Back when Yusei was a child at the orphanage, he used to play with some friends, after his family committed suicide. When Yusei grow up, he decided to left the orphanage on his own and joined his best friend who worked with his uncle from the group of Yakuza to make a living. Suddenly, due to happens, Yusei died in his world and he found himself in the new world called Maiami City as he lived in five months ago.
Yusei: Maybe I should stop thinking that past of mine... I should get to work early.
Yusei then proceeded to take everything else that he had, before grabbing the half of a sandwich from the fridge and he wore black leather motorcycle gloves and black full-faced helmet, leaving his apartment, got on his graphite black motorcycle; 2010 Honda DN-01, and drove to the work.
Since Yusei woke up in Maiami City's hospital as he was being found by someone, who was taking him to the hospital.
During that week, Yusei was able to get a job as a waiter at an cafe called the Cafe la Caerulues. The owner, as well his boss was a kind woman who was nice enough to give him a job when he was taking to the hospital by her and he showed her what he could do which in turn, helped him earn enough money to rent an apartment. He then arrived at said cafe as he removed his helmet and gloves, getting off his motorcycle and throwing away the wrapper that was used to keep his sandwich fresh before opening the door.
Upon hearing the door opened, his boss wiped some tables as she turned to Yusei's direction.
Boss:(smiles) Ah, Yusei, so glad you could make it. Now hurry up and get ready. Knowing the customers that came to my cafe, they'll be here any seconds.
Yusei: Hai, hai...
Yusei then going back to the back and hanging up his coat and helmet, before grabbing an apron and tying around his waist. Once he got done, he went back out and saw some customers here. He quickly took orders from the customers with his usual neutral on his expression, but he is very talented as he was able to serve the customers in the Cafe.
Later that, Yusei washed the dishes, cups, and glasses as his boss approached him, while the other workers were wiped the tables.
Boss: Yusei, can I ask you something?
Yusei: What is it, Boss?
Boss: I was wondering if you can enroll one of any Duel School since you didn't want to enrolled in five months ago.
Yusei: Oh, that... actually I don't want to find any Duel School for me... because it's totally wasted on my time.
Boss: I see. Even though you haven't enrolled in any Duel School that you interested. But, I'm pretty sure Duel Schools will be tripping over each other to get you to join them once news of this gets out, especially if you're perform well and you're exceptional Duelist?
Yusei:(sighs) I've retired from dueling for years, but my skills aren't what they're used to be but I'll be lucky if they don't get me to join any Duel Schools.
Boss: If you say so.
Yusei then wiped the dishes, cups, and glasses, before responding to his boss.
Yusei: Boss, once I finished my work and I'm taking my break.
Boss: Eh? Sure. But don't be late for coming back to work, you know.
Yusei nodded his head as he finished his work, before taking off his apron and going back to the back, while his boss couldn't help but sigh where she realized how lonely and cold Yusei is.
Boss:(worries) Yusei really needs someone who can talk openly and his personality needs to change.
After taking out a break, Yusei drove to somewhere else where he really wanted to. After a few minutes later, he managed to park his motorcycle, before walking down the street as his head down covering his expression how lonely and cold, while the civilians were minding their own business.
Yusei then picked his triple rings necklace, staring at it as he clutched it firmly, before his expression changed into soft and sad.
Yusei:(thoughts) Why does this past happens to me, of all people. I've been missed my best friend and even my dearest friend Hikari...
Yusei is in a different world period as he was befriended his best friend's sister, who was giving him a warm and gentle smile and she has feelings for him, which he returned. However, his best friend's sister suddenly murdered by some thugs, which making him devastated in sorrow and grief.
As Yusei kept looking his triple rings, he suddenly bumped into one of three teenagers as they wore the Maiami City Second Junior High School uniform.
Delinquent 1: Hey, you! Hold it, you punk!
As Delinquent 1 immediately grabbed Yusei's right arm, which Yusei didn't say anything or apologizing to him, but he threw left hook punch across his face, causing him groaned in painful and fall on the ground, while the two delinquents widened their eyes to seeing his friend was being beaten by Yusei, which angered them.
Delinquent 2:(shouts) Hey!
Delinquent 2 charged towards Yusei as he was about to punch him. But, Yusei immediately threw uppercut punch across his jaw, causing him fall on the ground and groaned in painful, while holding his jaw.
Delinquent 3:(roars) Hold it right there, you bastard!
Delinquent 3 then threw a straight punch towards Yusei, but Yusei quickly grabbed his punch, before punching his guts, which he was stumbling on the ground and groaning in painful.
Yusei glared at them one last time, before walking away with his usual way, but he didn't bother some people whispering to each other while looking at him and some people walking by them or next to him looked at him.
However, Yusei suddenly bumped into someone again as his Duel Disk and his deck fell on the ground from his coat, before an elderly man replied.
???: For Pete's sake... How can someone who always head down and didn't say apologize to seniors and elders like that.
Yusei lifted up his head as he saw a man with who wears a pink, yellow, and black jacket and a ribbon tie. He has straight black hair and pink and orange glasses. He somewhat resembles a clown. He wears two rings on his left hand.
Yusei: I'm sorry for bumping into you.
Yusei bowed his head in apologize, before he grabbed his Duel Disk and deck from the ground. However, the man widened his eyes in surprise, seeing Yusei have his Duel Disk and deck.
???: Wait! Are you a Duelist?
Yusei: Yeah, I used to be...
???: Why didn't you told me sooner?
Yusei: You didn't asked me?
???: How good are you?
Yusei: My skills definitely aren't what they use to be but I'm quick analyze opponent's tactics and find a way to counter their strategy. But, I've retired from dueling for years and I've got a job to make a living.
???: Ohh... If you're so sure of yourself then how about proving it?
Yusei: You mean right here and now?
???: Absolutely not! I'm talking about participating in the Maiami Championship!
Yusei: Maiami Championship?
???: Of course! It's a tournament sponsored by Leo Corporation and managed by the Maiami Duelist Association as well. The tournament is divided into three categories: "Junior", "Junior Youth", and "Youth", based on the contestant's age. Taking part in this tournament is the first step towards becoming a Professional Duelist.
Yusei:(thoughts) Sounds lame as watching paint dry... but I've no interested to becoming a Pro Duelist.
???: So what do you say? Wanna partake and show me some of your Dueling skills? You have the reason to Duel and what you're seeking for?
Yusei:(thoughts) My reason to Duel...? My seeking for...?
Yusei sighed as he decided to partaking the tournament to seeking for his reason to Duel, before answering.
Yusei: Fine... I decided to try it out.
???: Wonderful! The Maiami Championship will be starting in two months. Think you can get 60% winning streaks until then?
Yusei: Excuse me?
???: I mean you need at least 50 matches, winning streaks to enter the tournament.
Yusei: Fine.
???: Then I got to see you in action! I wonder if your skills can be more passionate than Sakaki Yuya-kun?
Yusei: Sakaki Yuya?
???: He's the son of legendary Sakaki Yusho and the one, who defeated Strong Ishijima need I reminds you was the Champion of the Pro Leagues!
Yusei:(thoughts) I still have no clue who any of these people that I've never met before I lived here in five months.
Yusei: Yeah, maybe one day or I've encountered him. Until we meet again, see you soon.
Yusei turned around and was about to walk away.
???: W-Wait!
Yusei: Huh?
Yusei turned around as his head glanced at the man.
???: You never told me about your name?
Yusei: It's Akiyama Yusei. By the way, what's your name Mr...?
???: The name's Nico Smiley, manager of the former Duel Champion, Strong Ishijima.
Yusei: Bye, Nico-san.
Nico: Bye!
Nico watched Yusei casually walked away as he noticed Yusei's expression was lonely and sad.
Nico:(thoughts) That kid is so lonely back there. I was hoping to see someone needs him to change his expression.
(Later)
Yusei was done walking and arriving at the park, after a few hours of walking and wandering around, he decided to stop by a convenience store to buy a warm and hot boxed yakisoba. Once he got his food, he took a seat and started to eat his food. However, he noticed a large tower which contained both the headquarters of the Leo Corporation and the Leo Duel School, or LDS for short, the most prestigious Duel School in the world.
Yusei:(thoughts) LDS? I heard that before I woke up in this world.
Yusei continued to eat his food, before he noticed the pink haired girl, who was being held up by a tall and muscular young man, along with his two lackeys. He wears a pair of blue pants and what appears to be a red sash on his abdomen, with a purple shirt with thick pauldrons along a blue jacket. Noteworthy he also wears a pair of steel bracers and sandals.
The girl had blue eyes and dark pink hair, which she wears tied up in pigtails, clipped down by blue, spherical hair clips. Her hair also features two lighter pink bangs that fall to the side of her face. Her outfit consists of a sleeveless light-blue and white shirt with a musical note on the right collar, along with a red tie, which she wears with a dark red skirt and dark stockings. She was wearing a silver bracelet with a crystal on it.
Yusei:(thoughts) Maybe I should go to see what's happening.
Yusei finished eating his food, before throwing to a nearby trash bin as he quickly wiped his mouth with a tissue paper, then approaching them.
Pink haired girl: I told you before Gen! Yuya is not going to duel you!
Gen: Really? Perhaps he might get some incentive if I take you as a hostage perhaps.
At seeing this situation, Yusei clutched his fists tightly as his expression turned into anger and scowl.
Yusei:(growls) That scumbag...!
Gen:(smirks) And with that...
He snapped his fingers, signalling his lackeys to do the work. Two of them grabbed the dark pink haired girl, much to her shock.
Pink haired girl: Huh!? What do you think you're doing!?
The two lackeys didn't respond as they dragged the dark pink haired girl away as she tried to get away from them.
With that, Yusei had enough with Gen and his lackeys as he stepped forward to Gen, his two lackeys, and the dark pink haired girl.
Yusei: That's enough for you now, you scumbag.
Yusei snapped coldly as Gen and his lackeys noticed his presence, while the dark pink haired girl relieved to see the black haired boy, who was approaching here.
Gen: Huh!? And who might you be!? I've never seen you before!?
Yusei: I don't care what're you talking about me, but all I know is that you're doing it was pathetic and contemptible move back there.
Yusei insulted coldly as he pointed at Gen, while he gritted his teeth in anger and annoyance at what Yusei said.
Gen: What... What did you just said to me, you jackass!?
Yusei: Are you deaf? You're nothing but a hooligan to bullying the people and calling your underlings to kidnapping the girl as a hostage. That was disrespectful and dirty move back there.
Yusei responded coldly once again as the dark pink haired girl watched them in shock and disbelief and Gen was looking furious.
Gen: Fine! You're going be suffer right here! Get him!
Gen ordered his lackeys to beating Yusei. One of his lackeys punched the black haired boy, but Yusei swiftly dodged the punch as he threw right elbow punch to his face, causing him to scream in painful, before throwing roundhouse kick to his face, making him fall on the ground and lost in unconscious.
The second lackey approached from Yusei's back as he used a metal bat to hitting him, but Yusei immediately dodged the attack as he grabbed the lackey's shoulders, and he used his knee strikes, hitting him across his guts in three times, before shoving him on the ground as the lackey held his guts in painful.
Gen and the dark pink haired girl watched in shock as they witnessed Yusei beating the two lackeys.
Yusei:(demands) You better leave her alone, you scumbag. She's nothing to do with you anymore!
Gen was scared at Yusei, but he quickly regained his compose and giving him a sneer look on his face.
Gen: But she's with Sakaki Yuya. And you're nothing but a nuisance for you.
Yusei: So, you're not afraid to face-to-face against me?
Gen: Not really! We'll make this Duel! If you win, you can take this girl with you. If you lose, then walk away and pretend to be nothing happens.
Gen pulled out a black Duel Disk as Yusei pulled out his Duel Disk and deck, before staring at it for a few seconds, then glaring at him.
Yusei: If that's you wanted to take anger on me, so be it! I'm going to wipe out your arrogance and stupidity for good.
Gen: Heh! Big loud mouth of yours non-stop... Very well! I'll beat you down and you have beg for mercy afterwards!
Gen activated his Duel Disk, forming a purple blade. Yusei fronwed as he activated his Duel Disk, forming a white blade.
The dark pink haired girl approached Yusei as she looked at him, before replying.
Pink haired girl: Umm... I wanted to say I appreciate you wanting to help-
Yusei: Don't get me wrong idea. Since we're strangers, but I came here to fight that guy for putting you in danger zone and I'll never allows him to bother you anymore.
The dark pink haired girl blushed a bit, staring at him for a few seconds, before she shook her head slightly and she formed a small smile on her face.
Yuzu: Well, if you say so. Anyway thanks for your help. I'm Hiiragi Yuzu.
Yusei looked at Yuzu as he found himself compering her to the girl, that reminds his dearest friend, he didn't know why but there was something strangely familiar about her. However, he didn't bother to intruducing himself as he gave a good response.
Yusei: Akiyama Yusei.
Gen: Alright, Mister black knight who comes to rescue a fragile princess like her? So, shall we get started?
Yusei: Me, a black knight? No, I was being bugging by you who's come to harassing the girl.
"DUEL!"
Yusei: 4000
Gen: 4000
Gen: I summon Barbarian 4 in ATK Mode!

Gen: Then, I'll set a card and Turn End!
Yusei: Draw!
Yusei drew a card from his deck, checking out his hand.
Yusei: From my hand, I summon Speed Warrior!
As Yusei played the card, Speed Warrior appeared, doing an attack pose. (LV: 2/ATK: 900/DEF: 400)
Gen started to laugh at Yusei's monster as his monster has low ATK points.
Gen: You actually summoned that monster with low ATK points? I assume your deck is trashy after all.
Yuzu worriedly looked at Yusei as she watched in disbelief and concern.
Yuzu:(thoughts) He'll take damage since he left it in ATK points, what's he thinking?
Yusei didn't unfazed at the insult in the slight.
Yusei: Speed Warrior attacks Barbarian 4! Sonic Edge!
Speed Warrior dashed towards Barbarian 4, before jumping into the air.
Yusei: Speed Warrior's effect activates! Once per turn, it can makes its ATK points becomes double its original ATK points!

Gen: You'll pay for this, you punk! My turn, draw! I'll activate a spell card Pot of Greed! I draw two cards from my deck.
Gen drew two cards from his deck.
Gen: I'll activate my Trap Card! Call of the Living Dead! It can revives Barbarian 4 from my Graveyard!
Appearing from the flash of light, Barbarian 4 revived as it growled at Yusei and Speed Warrior.
Gen: Next, I'll activate Spell Card, Feast of the Wild LV5! This effect allowed me to Special Summon two Level 5 Warrior-type monsters from my hand, but their effects are negated! Appear, Barbarian 1 and Barbarian 2!

Barbarian 4 roared as it charged towards Speed Warrior with its mace.
Yusei: Trap card, open! Scarp-Iron Scarecrow! When an opponent's monster attacks my monster, it can negated your attack! After that, I can set this card again instead of sending it to my Graveyard!
An iron scarecrow appeared in front of Speed Warrior as Barbarian 4 swung down its mace towards scarecrow, before it fled back to Gen's field as the scarecrow returned back to Yusei's field and reset it.
Gen: Not done yet! I use Barbarian 2 to attack Speed Warrior!
Then, Barbarian 2 swung down its mace across Speed Warrior as it groaned in painful and disappeared into particles.

Gen: 3400
Gen: Barbarian 1 attacks him directly!

Barbarian 1 attack Yusei, suddenly the rainbow barrier appeared and protected him, which it groaned in annoyance and fled back to Gen's field. Then, Yusei drew a card from his deck and looked at it.
Gen: Lucky move, aren't you?! I'll set a card and Turn End! It's your move, you punk!
Yusei: My turn!
Yusei drew a card as he looked at his hands, before he sighed in disappointment while Yuzu noticed Yusei's mood.
Yusei: I summon Shield Wing in DEF mode and I'll set one card! Turn End!
Shield Wing appeared in front of Yusei's field, taking defensive stance. (LV: 2/ATK: 0/DEF: 900)
Yuzu:(mutters) Is he really not to do something else?
Gen:(laughs) Hahahaha! That's it!? You're acting strong and now you're turning into a weak like this?! What a miserable move you back there!
After that, Gen drew a card from his deck, which making him smirk
Gen:(smirks) Time to end this! I'll activate an Quick-Play Spell card! Cyclone! I can destroy one of your set cards on the field, so I chose your middle one!
A whirlwind blew towards Yusei's set card on his right of Spell/Trap card zone, which was revealing Scrap-Iron Scarecrow and destroyed into particles.
Yuzu:(exclaims) Oh no!
Gen: Then, I'll released Barbarian 2 and Barbarian 4 to Advance Summon Barbarian King!

Gen:(smirks) Battle! Barbarian 1 attacks Shield Wing!
Barbarian 1 swung its mace at Shield Wing, but it blocked the attack, which Gen looked in surprise and Yuzu blinked in confusion.
Yusei: Shield Wing can't be destroyed in battle for up to two times in a single turn.
Gen: No matter. Barbarian King's effect allowed it can attack once more, when this card is Advance Summoned by releasing any number of "Barbarian" monsters, it can attack again during the same Battle Phase. Attack, Barbarian King!
Barbarian King swung down the mace, striking at Shield Wing, which causing it screeching in painful and disappeared into the particles.
Yuzu:(exclaims) Oh no! Yusei's field is completely wide open!
Gen: Barbarian King attacks players directly!
Barbarian King roared as it dashed towards Yusei, swinging down the mace across Yusei's chest, but he didn't flinched it at all.
Yusei: 100
Gen: 3400
Gen: Turn End! Gotta say, I figured you'd have more fight in you. Guess I figured wrong. But, on my next turn, you're finished.
Yuzu looked at Yusei worriedly as she placed her hands in prayer. However, Yusei didn't showed his frustration and angry on his face, before replying.
Yusei: There's no next turn for you.
Gen: What did you say?
Yusei: My turn!
Yusei drew a card and he looked at for a few seconds, before glaring at him.
Yusei: I'm very disgusted by watching your fight or your skills, you know?
Gen suddenly grew furious as he glared at Yusei, while Yuzu was also watching in surprise.
Gen:(growls) What did you say?!
Yusei: You heard me! I don't feel any intense fight in this Duel, and I'm very grossly your reason to winning at all costs. Just like you used dirty move on that Yuzu girl.
Yuzu:(whispers) Yusei...
Gen:(growls) Kisama(You bastard)!
(BGM: Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Unleashed Ost - Yusei Battle Theme)
Yusei: I summon Tuner Monster Junk Synchron!
Appearing from the flash of light, Junk Synchron stood in front of Yusei. (LV: 3/ATK: 1300/DEF: 500)
Gen and Yuzu widened their eyes in the mix of surprise and disbelief.
Gen:(exclaims) T-Tuner Monster, you say?!
Yuzu: No way, Yusei is...
Yusei: Junk Synchron's effect activates! When this card is summoned, I can Special Summon a Level 2 or lower monster from my Graveyard. Revive, Shield Wing!
Shield Wing reappeared and stood next to Junk Synchron. (LV: 2/ATK: 0/DEF: 900)
Yusei: I'm used Level 3 Junk Synchron and Level 2 Shield Wing to tuning!
Junk Synchron transformed into three green rings and Shield Wing turned into orange-colored outlines and two stars as the rings surrounded them.
Yusei: Synchron Summon! Appear now, Junk Warrior!

Yuzu:(mutters) Synchron Summon...
Gen:(exclaims) That's impossible! How can someone like this punk can managed to Synchron Summon?!
However, Gen regained his composer as he formed a smirk on his face.
Gen: But it doesn't hold a candle to my Barbarian King's ATK.
Yusei: Continuous Trap; Limit Reverse! When this card is activated, I can Special Summon a monster with 1000 or less ATK from my Graveyard in attack position! So, I chose Speed Warrior!
Speed Warrior appeared and stood next to Junk Warrior, glaring at Barbarian King. (LV: 2/ATK: 900/DEF: 400)
Yusei: I'll activate Junk Warrior's effect! When this card is Synchro Summoned, it gained the ATK points of all Level 2 or lower monsters on my field are added to Junk Warrior!
A white aura surrounded Junk Warrior, making its powered up and surpassed Barbarian King. (LV: 5/ATK: 2300-3200/DEF: 1300)
Yuzu:(surprises) It surpassed Barbarian King!
Gen:(annoys) To think that combo with his measly trap card to gained his Synchro Monster's ATK powered up! He's cocky one, indeed.
Yusei: Not yet! I'll activate my second trap card Synchro Strike. This card gains 500 ATK for each synchro materials used to Synchron Summon Junk Warrior and so it gained 1000 ATK points, until the end of my turn!
Junk Warrior (LV: 5/ATK: 3200-4200/DEF: 1300)
Yuzu:(exclaims) 4200 ATK?!
Yusei:(shouts) Battle! Go, Junk Warrior attack Barbarian King! Scrap Fist!
Junk Warrior rocketed towards Barbarian King with its engine booster on its back as it threw its right hand with a set of brass knuckles.
Gen: Ha! You fool, I'll activate my trap Attack Nullification! With this card, your monster attacks is negated and your Battle Phase finished immediately! It seems your Synchron Summon is nothing but a bluff. On my turn, you're finished!
Barbarian King lifted up its mace and parried Junk Warrior's incoming attack, locking in the battle each others.
Yuzu:(worries) No way...
Yusei: There's no next turn anyway. Despair is your goal.
Yuzu:(suprises) Eh?
Gen: You must be bluffing and joking with me!
Yusei: Quick-Play Spell activated! Double Up Chance!
Gen:(exclaims) What is that!?
Yusei: When Junk Warrior attacks is negated, so it can make a second attack and also its ATK becomes double!
Gen:(exclaims) W-What did you say?!
Suddenly, Barbarian King's mace crackled up a bit as Junk Warrior continued to pressing forward its attack.
Junk Warrior (LV: 5/ATK: 4200-8400/DEF: 1300)
Gen:(yells) NO WAY?!
Yuzu:(exclaims) 8400!
Yusei: End this now, Junk Warrior! Scrap Fist!

Yusei: 100
Gen: 0
(BGM End)
Yusei deactivated his Duel Disk and pulled out his deck as he stared at it for a moment.
Yusei:(thoughts) Looks like I'm back in the game, huh? How nostalgia...
Yuzu approached the black haired teenage boy, bowing her head.
Yuzu: Thanks for saving me, Yusei.
Yusei: Oh, it's nothing. I hate those bullies since I was young.
Yuzu:(smiles) I see... Oh by the way, that was a amazing duel back there, I couldn't believe you used the low level monsters with your Tuner Monsters to winning in the duel. Are you perhaps new in this town since I didn't met you before?
Yusei: Well, I actually new here in this town when I just lived here in 5 month ago.
Yuzu: So, what's brings you here, Yusei?
Yusei: Long story. I was working at the cafe as a waiter to starting my new life as I retired from the dueling as a duelist. But, I have to finding out what's my reason to fight and finding out my answer in dueling.
Yuzu:(mutters) Reason to fight...
Yusei: Anyway, I gotta go back to work now. Goodbye, Yuzu-san.
Yusei walked away from Yuzu as he went back to his motorcycle where he parked. But, Yuzu suddenly pulled his coat as Yusei noticed it, which making him glanced at the girl.
Yuzu: Would you joined in my school to finding out about your reason to Duel maybe it can help you to found out, Yusei.
Yusei: What school are you talking about?
Yuzu:(smiles) Oh, I'm in the You Show Duel School, we learn to give the people the wonderful experience and fun of Entertainment Duel as well do our best to ensure people's lives are happier!
Yusei: So what exactly do you in this school?
Yuzu: Well, we practiced with the Solid Vision, regularly perform Action Duels as we also coordinate some stunts with our monsters.
However, Yuzu noticed Yusei's expression changed into the mix of concern and uncertain as she hurriedly waved her hands.
Yuzu: It's all safe of course! We don't risk lives if that's what were you thinking!
Yusei: I never done an Action Duel before, you see, I don't enrolled any schools since I lived here, also I already accepted to participating the Maiami Championship.
Yuzu gasped in awe as she widened her eyes in surprise.
Yuzu: You actually participated the tournament without a school, that's something! Well, would you perhaps come and see our school? We're always looking for new applicants.
Yusei looked in thoughtful for few moments.
Yusei:(sighs) I don't see why not, but how about we leave this for tomorrow, Yuzu-san? I'm finishing my break time and I'm going back to work now.
Yuzu hit his shoulders lightly with her usual smile. Then, she handed Yusei a pamphlet.
Yuzu: Yuzu's fine! And this is the address of You Show Duel School. If you have time tomorrow, stop by so I can properly thank you.
Yusei: Alright. I guess I'll see you tomorrow then, Yuzu.
The two newly introduced friends looked at each others one last time before Yusei and Yuzu took their leaves.
Yusei:(thoughts) I wonder what kind of Action Duel before like? But, I still thinking about Yuzu... Her smile. She makes me reminds of Hikari...
Meanwhile, Yuzu turned her head slightly at Yusei behind her as he walked away from her and returned back to his motorcycle.
Yuzu:(thoughts) Yusei... What is this I'm feeling right now? We're only just met before for some reason... it doesn't feel that way for me... His face didn't showed any smiles, but he has some kind of lonely and sad in his eyes. Maybe I can find a way to helping him out for bringing out his smile.
(Somewhere else)
In an unknown location...
???: President, an urgent report has just come in.
A man with black hair and glasses hurriedly approached the office where a bespectacled young man with grey hair and pale skin was sitting. That young man was Akaba Reiji, a president of the Leo Corporation and one of the strongest Duelists in the world.
Reiji: What is it, Nakajima?
Nakajima: We detached a Duel where the energy used for summoning far surpassed the usual parameters.
Reiji: What kind of summoning method was?
Nakajima: Synchro.
Reiji: Synchro, you say? Can we identify this new Synchro user?
Nakajima: I've already asked the specialists to look into it so we should have a name shortly. Since his Duel Disk was connected to the Global Duel Database.
Suddenly, the computer in Reiji's office lit up.
Reiji: Speak of the devil, let's see with whom we're dealing with.
After reading the send file for a few seconds, Reiji let out a small smirk.
Nakajima: President?
Reiji: Here, take a look.
Nakajima did as was asked and was surprised by what he saw.
Nakajima: Akiyama Yusei? This boy who appears to younger than President, he works as a waiter at the cafe, and he's never dueling the opponents before. Not to mention, he's living in Maiami City for 5 months.
Reiji: That's true. However, to think he's a retired Duelist and Synchro user, that was quite unexpected to say the least.
Nakajima: But, President, what do you think about that retired Duelist resides in which one of the dimensions? Since the reading regarding his summoning energy were off the charts. If that's the case—
Reiji: —An Academia agent, right? But, I'm not sure. I wouldn't put it past that man to have dispatched one or two rats in order to spy on us.
Nakajima: That's true.
Reiji: Then, his Duel energy with Synchro energy is much higher than any ordinary user from our dimension even among Pros however I do know is that boy is truly intriguing.
Nakajima: Indead... Then how about we bringing him for questioning?
Reiji: No, we will simply quietly observe him for now. We wouldn't want to scare off this boy because he's got a potential for our future goals.
Nakajima: As you wish, President.
Reiji straightened his glasses, a sharp glint on his eyes as he stared intently on Yusei's picture.
Reiji:(thoughts) Are you an enemy or an ally, Akiyama Yusei? Either way, I look forward to meeting you face to face someday.
