bopdog111: Let's find out.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Cassie looked scared for Zuzu.
"Cass?" Zuzu asked noticing that.
"Bandit Warrior Academy... Their the same guys that hurt Riri." Cassie explained.
Zuzu's eyes widened in shock. "What?"
Cassie nodded looking worried for Zuzu. Zuzu hesitantly walked up to the field. Iggy was waiting for her looking serious. Zuzu let out a sigh. "Let's have a good match."
Iggy only armed his Duel Disk.
"Alright, let's see which Action Field these two will be battling it out in." Nico Smiley announced.
The Action Field was randomly selected before it shows of an Ice Field.
"Alright duel fans, let's get this show started." Nico Smiley grinned.
"Action Field: Glacier Peril activated." the computer announced.

"DUEL!" Zuzu and Iggy called together.

Iggy 1st Turn:
"My turn!" Iggy called drawing before, "If my opponent controls a monster but I don't, I can summon Hayate the Earth Star from my hand without a sacrifice."
A warrior with a spear, and a bear like helmet appeared.

Once per turn, when your Warrior monster is targeted for an attack: You can make this card lose exactly 500 ATK, and if you do, negate that attack.
Zuzu's eyes widened and she ran to find an Action Card. Iggy had shoulder tackled her from the card. Zuzu's eyes widened as she lost her balance on the ice. "What the?"
"And now since it's summoned, I can summon a Light Warrior Monster from my hand as long as it's level is 5. So I'll summon Tenma the Sky Star!" Iggy called as a warrior wearing samurai armor, and having a sword appeared.

Zuzu got to her feet before running for another Action Card. Iggy quickly got to her, and sweep his feet over Zuzu's legs tripping her. Zuzu cried out as she fell into the freezing water.
"Zuzu!" Cassie cried worried.
"Now Hayate attack that weakling!" Iggy called as Hayate charged in at Canon.
To his shock Canon dodged the attack.
"What the?" Iggy asked shocked before turning to where Zuzu fell in, "Then... There was an Action Card in there!?"
Zuzu emerged from the water shivering but with a copy of Evasion in her Duel Disc. Iggy grunted annoyed, "Fine you got lucky for that but Tenma still has it's attack! Go!"
Tenma charged at Canon. Zuzu was barely able to get out of the water as Canon shattered.
"Like I said you got lucky. I won't let you slip another Action Card on my watch." Iggy promised ending his turn.
Zuzu: 4000
Iggy: 4000
Iggy 2nd Turn:
"It's my turn!" Iggy called drawing, "And I activate Polymerization!"
Polymerization
Normal Spell Card
Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material.
Zuzu's eyes widened hearing that.
The two monsters fused.
"O stars racing through the heavens, soaring above the earth, now become one, and shine as the star of the eternal conqueror! Fusion Summon! Come! Idaten the Conqueror Star!"
A dark purple warrior holding a black trident appeared, and having tough power appeared.

"It's stronger than Mozarta!" Allie panicked.
Iggy grabbing an Action Card, and adding a Warrior said, "When Idaten is Fusion Summoned I add a Warrior from my deck that's level 5 or below to my hand. And now I activate it's other ability! By discarding any number of cards in my hand it's attack points are raised by 200! I discard this Action Card, and the Warrior I added to do it."
Idaten the Conqueror Star: (ATK: 3000 + (200 * 2) = 3400)
Zuzu's eyes widened in shock.
"Now Idaten attack!" Iggy called as Idaten charged.
Zuzu's monster appeared only to instantly shatter.

(You can only gain this effect once per turn.)
"Your turn." Iggy said coldly.
Zuzu 3rd Turn:
Zuzu drew her card and her eyes widened before she smiled. "Does this spell look familiar to you?"
She showed Iggy a copy of Polymerization.
"What the-?" Iggy asked shocked.
"Big sis can...?" Cassie trailed off in shock.
"I fuse Soprano the Melodious Songstress with Mozarta the Melodious Maestra!" Zuzu called as the two monsters appeared and entered the Fusion Vortex. "Angel's song! Supreme genius! With the guidance of the baton, gather your power! Fusion Summon! Now come here to the stage! Sing the song of victory! Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir!"
A small angel appeared humming a melodic tune.

"Bloom Diva attack Idaten the Conqueror Star!" Zuzu called.
"You want to pit this weakling against my powerful emperor!?" Iggy asked as Idaten attacked, "Idaten's ability renders your monster to zero!"
Bloom Diva: (ATK: 0)
"Bloom Diva has her own ability, when she battles I take no damage and she isn't destroyed." Zuzu countered. "Instead, your monster is destroyed and you take damage equal to the difference in their original attack points."
"Bloom Diva has her own ability, when she battles I take no damage and she isn't destroyed." Zuzu countered. "Instead, your monster is destroyed and you take damage equal to the difference in their original attack points."
"Wait what?" Iggy asked in shock as Bloom Diva attacked Idaten as he grunted crying out landing in the water. (Iggy: 2000)
"I end my turn." Zuzu smiled.
Zuzu: 4000
Iggy: 2000
Iggy 3rd Turn:
Something jumped out of the water, and landed on the ice showing it was Iggy who doesn't look effected by the cold. Zuzu flinched seeing that. Iggy drew with a growl. Zuzu took a fearful step back.
"I activate Premature Burial!" Iggy called.
Premature Burial
Equip Spell Card
Activate this card by paying 800 LP, then target 1 monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in Attack Position and equip it with this card. When this card is destroyed, destroy the equipped monster.
(Iggy: 1200)
Idaten rose again.
"Huh, but why?" Zuzu asked.
"I activate the equip spell, Rainbow Veil!" Iggy called.
Rainbow Veil
Equip Spell Card
If the equipped monster battles an opponent's monster, while that monster is on the field its effect(s) is negated during the Battle Phase only.
"If Idaten battles a monster that monsters special abilities are all negated!" Iggy revealed.
"What?" Zuzu asked in shock before looking around. 'There, an Action Card!'
She started running toward a card half buried in the ice. Iggy was quick to try to stop her, "Idaten!"
Idaten charged at Bloom Diva.
"Bloom Diva, hang on!" Zuzu cried as she dove for the card.
Bloom Diva at that tried to her best to avoid the attacks made by Idaten to try to by time.
"I activate the Action Spell Miracle!" Zuzu called quickly.
Miracle
Action Spell Card
If a monster on the field battles: Target that monster; it cannot be destroyed by that battle, also any battle damage is halved.
At that Bloom Diva let herself get attack as she screamed from the attack as the extra damage got to Zuzu.
(Zuzu: 1000)
Iggy used an Action Card himself.
Double Attack
Action Spell Card
Target 1 monster on the field; its ATK becomes double its current ATK during each Battle Phase this turn.
"I'm not beaten yet." Zuzu said weakly.
"You will be soon." Iggy said ending his turn.
"If Zuzu doesn't find a way around Rainbow Veil she's doomed." Cassie said worried.
Zuzu 4th Turn:
Zuzu drew her card and her eyes widened. "I summon Solo the Melodious Songstress in attack mode!"

'Now please work.' Zuzu thought. "I activate Musical Mayhem!"

Cassie thinks about it, "I think I know how it works..."
"For every Melodious Monster on my field you take 800 points of damage!" Zuzu called.
Iggy widen his eyes before being struck crying out landing back in the water.
Zuzu: 1000
Iggy: 0000
Zuzu wins the duel!
Zuzu let out a sigh of relief hearing that. The field vanished as Cassie ran to Zuzu.
"Cass?" Zuzu asked turning to her.
"Are you okay?" Cassie asked her worried.
"Yeah, cold but I didn't hit the ground badly." Zuzu answered.
Cassie offered her, her jacket. Zuzu smiled taking it only to pause. "I think she needs you."
Hearing that Cassie turned to where Riley is. She was violently shaking. Cassie walked, and hugged her. Riley immediately started clinging to her in fear only to suddenly gasp and start shaking more. Cassie rubbed her back.
"Well... let's keep things moving with the next match." Nico Smiley mentioned.
"Come on Riri." Cassie told her.
Riley nodded.
"Oh, and it looks like the next match is putting LID's Sylvio Sawatari up against one of his classmates, Shay Obsidian." Nico Smiley announced.
With that said they walked out. Cassie noticed Henrietta glaring at her. Cassie only ignored it as they exited the arena.
"Cassie... I can't do it." Riley choked out.
"Can't do what?" Cassie asked her.
That's when she realized that if Riley was this scared and frightened by Bandit Warrior Academy she wouldn't be able to fight against Duel Academy like she was adopted and trained to do.
"Have you talked it over with your brother, and Henrietta?" Cassie asked her.
Riley shook her head. "I can't... I just can't."
Cassie hugged her kissing her. Riley stayed closed to her before they heard gasping and screams of horror. Cassie only stayed with her trying to ignore them so she can comfort Riley.
Meanwhile with Declan and Henrietta...
They watch in.
"I have something to attend too." Declan mentioned walking out of the room.
Henrietta watched in at this.
"Mrs. Chairwoman... what are you going to do?" asked a man in a suit.
"This is Declan's business." Henrietta said simply.
Declan walked out to where Cassie was holding Riley close. Cassie noticed him at this.
"Do you have a few minutes?" Declan inquired.
"Riri can you stay here for a second?" Cassie asked her.
Riley looked nervous but nodded. Cassie walked over to Declan at that.
"Riley can't go through with this can she?" Declan questioned. "The tournament, or the Fusion Dimension."
"Fusion." Cassie admitted, "Bandit Warrior Academy frightened her."
"I thought as much." Declan nodded before sighing. "Just forget everything I told you, we'll figure out a different plan to stop the Fusion Dimension."
"It'll be alright Declan. I'll help her out through it." Cassie told him, "Besides Fusion will make it's assault anytime now so it's too late to think of something else."
At that moment Riley's Duel Disc beeped. Hearing that Cassie walked back to Riley. Riley's opponent was Tate.
"Good luck Riri." Cassie smiled kissing her.
Riley nodded nervously as they walked back into the stadium.
Later...
"I activate Critical Overlay!" Riley called. "This takes a picture of your Performachine Giant Gadget and Overlays it with my C/C Critical Eye."
The two flew up.
"Solemn tyrant of the earth! Reside in this eye and give me your power! Xyz Summon! Appear now! The ultimate armament that repels all! Rank 6! C/C/C Rock Armor of Battle!"

(ORU: 2)
"Attack Performachine Giant Gadget!"
The monster charged.
"Gadget Giant's ability activates! As it's battling a Special Summoned monster that monster is destroyed!" Tate called.
"When Rock Armor battles an Earth monster that monster's abilities are negated, and by using one Overlay Unit Rock Armor of Battle's attack points increase by half the defense of every Earth monster on the field." Riley revealed.
"What?" Tate asked in shock.
C/C/C Rock Armor of Battle: (ATK: 2500 + ((2000 + 2000)/2) = 4500)
Riley's monster struck Giant Gadget destroying it.
Tate: 0000
Winner Riley Akaba.
Cassie smiled seeing she won. With Riley's victory the first day of the competition came to an end. Cassie walked to her girlfriend. Riley looked upset. She hugged her.
"... can we go home?" Riley asked.
"Mine or your's?" Cassie asked her.
"Yours." Riley answered.
Cassie nodded with a smile as they walked back home. When they arrived Yoko smiled. "You two both did great."
"Thanks Momma." Cassie smiled.
Yoko smiled hugging her. Cassie hugged her back. Suddenly Riley's eyes widened and she started trembling. Seeing that Cassie pulled her close.
"Mrs. Sakaki... are Yuya's cards upstairs?" Riley asked nervously.
"Yeah." Yoko answered nodding.
Riley looked nervous before walking up to Yuya's room.
"Riri?" Cassie asked walking up with her.
Riley walked to Yuya's room and carefully picked up Yuya's deck only to suddenly freeze and drop the cards as she started violently shaking in fear. Cassie ran, and embraced her. She looked as though something had just scared her badly.
"It's okay." Cassie said to her assuringly.
Riley just nodded but still looked scared as she stared at Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. "Can... we just cuddle? I'm scared."
Cassie nodded as they walked to her room.
Later...
Riley was hugging Cassie when they suddenly heard Yuya's door open and Cassie noticed his eyes glowing as he walked past.
"Yuya?" Cassie asked seeing that.
He didn't seem to hear her. Cassie looked worried about this.
"Cass?" Riley asked her.
"I'm worried about big bro." Cassie said to her.
Riley frowned. "Do you want to see if he's ok?"
"I don't know." Cassie admitted.
Riley just hugged her gently. "I think we're up next you know?"
Cassie smiled before grinning, "I can wait to see which one of us will be first."
Riley blushed before smiling. "Then you'd better come at me with everything you have Cassie, I'm not holding back."
"Me too." Cassie smiled to her kissing her lips.
Riley smiled kissing her back.
Unknown to them at that exact moment...
"You two are going to duel me right now." Yuya stated to a masked figure and a figure on a bike as his eyes began glowing brighter.
"Sorry buddy but I don't see why." the figure on the bike told him.
"Are you afraid... Synchro?" Yuya questioned coldly. "Or simply weak?"
The biker growled, "You had better watch what your saying you hear?"
"If you're not afraid then prove it." Yuya stated activating his Duel Disc.
"Fine your asking for it." the biker said getting ready.
