bopdog111: Sorry for the long wait everyone, me, and Ulrich had been busy with things, and taking care of removing sexual content on our fics.
Ulrich362: Admittedly we did go a bit too far but we're working on fixing that, so apologies. That said it's finally time to get back to the battle with Zarc.
bopdog111: What will happen now?
Ulrich362: Likely someone else will try and beat Zarc... and hopefully Cassie wakes up soon.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Kaiba frowned as he walked to the others. "It looks like you weren't all talk, Zarc is a decent duelist."
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean he's unbeatable." Joey argued.
"As long as we keep going we can manage to take him down." Aster turned over to Zarc who has his smirk with crossed arms looking at them waiting for his next opponent, "So who goes next?"
"I'll give it a shot." Crow offered.
"You be careful Crow, he doesn't seem to be messing around." Rin said over to him.
"Aren't I always?" he asked with a grin before frowning. "But yeah, I don't plan on underestimating him after what he pulled off last time."
"Don't forget that giant dragon that defeated Kaiba." Marik added at that, "If he summons it again, then..."
"I know." Crow mentioned before turning to Zarc. "You're pretty good, mind if I try my luck at beating you?"
"Alright it makes no difference." Zarc said with a smirk.
Crow only grinned activating his Duel Disk. "You say that but I might surprise you."
"You're the one who knows him the best, does Zarc have any weaknesses we can try and exploit?" Ishizu inquired to Leo Akaba.
"From my time watching him he relies on his dragons the most. Other then that, no weakenesses." Leo Akaba answered that question.
"That's not exactly helpful." Jack frowned turning to the duel.
"You can take the first move." Crow mentioned to Zarc.
"DUEL!"

"Kin from the Different Dimensions! Spread a light across the either! Pendulum Summon! Gather at my side, my servants!"

(ORU: 2)
"Of course not, you really expect me to keep using them for you to figure out my strategies? I'm not that predictable." Zarc smirked over to Crow.
"You can't blame me for being hopeful." Crow pointed out.
"Well I use it's ability!" The Magician takes a Overlay Unit. (ORU: 2 - 1) "By using 1 Overlay Unit, I take 1 DARK Spellcaster from my Deck to my hand." He shows Double Iris Magician to his hand.

(face-up)

"Hmm..." Zarc looks over counting the levels which add up to 7.
"Gale the Whirlwind has a useful ability, one that cuts the attack and defense points of your Timestar Magician in half." Crow revealed.
Gale sent out sonic waves that weakened Timestar Magician.
Timestar Magician: (ATK: 2700 / 2 = 1350/DEF: 1200 / 2 = 600)
"With that done, Shura attacks Timestar Magician!" Crow called.
"He's attacking? Why not Synchro Summon?" Tristan asked surprised from this.
"Just watch." Yusei smiled.
Shura charged a large blue flame firing it which struck Timestar destroying it while Zarc watches calmly. (Zarc: 2550/Hand: 3)
"When Shura destroys a monster in battle I can summon a Blackwing from my deck with 1500 or less attack points but it's abilities are negated." Crow mentioned. "So I'll bring out Blackwing - Boreas the Sharp!"

The two charged forward before Zarc called, "I activate my face-down, Pendulum Reborn!"
Pendulum Reborn
Normal Trap Card
Special Summon 1 face-up Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck, or 1 Pendulum Monster from your GY.
"I summon 1 Pendulum Monster from my graveyard, or face-up in the Extra Deck!"
What rose was Black Fang.
Black Fang Magician: (Attack Position/ATK: 1700 + 300 = 2000/DEF: 800 + 300 = 1100)
"I had a feeling you'd have something planned. Fortunately for me so do I." Crow grinned. "Gale attack Black Fang Magician and I'll discard Blackwing - Kalut the Moonshadow to boost Gale's attack points by 1400."
Gale: (ATK: 1300 + 1400 = 2700)
Gale destroyed Black Fang while Zarc stares. (Zarc: 1850/Hand: 3)
"Mayhaps however, I WANTED you to destroy Black Fang." Zarc smirked over.
"Seriously?" Crow questioned.
"If Black Fang Magician is destroyed, I can summon 1 Spellcaster monster from my graveyard." Zarc explained with his smirk.
"Great, I have a feeling I know who's coming back." Crow frowned.
"Oh I bet you do." Zarc smirked but said, "But your incorrect. Supreme King Magician!"
At that Supreme King Magician rose back up twirling his staff.
Supreme King Magician: (Attack Position/ATK: 1400 + 300 = 1700/Type: Spellcaster/Dragon)
Crow blinked hearing that. "Not who I was expecting but either way I'll set one card and end my move."
Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind: (ATK: 2700 - 1400 = 1300)
"Before that as Supreme King Magician was summoned, I take Star Pendulumgraph to my hand." Zarc said with a smirk adding a card.

"It's my turn again, I draw!" Zarc drew making 5 cards in his hand.

"You should cause I activate Star Pendulumgraph!" Zarc uses a spell that has Astrograph Sorcerer on it.
(face-up)

If a face-up "Magician" Pendulum Monster Card(s) leaves your Monster Zone or Pendulum Zone: Add 1 "Magician" Pendulum Monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Star Pendulumgraph" once per turn.
"You can't use target Spellcasters on my field with spell cards, then if a Magician leaves my field either by monster zone, or Pendulum Zone, I take a Magician from my Deck to my hand." Zarc explained his spell's effect, "Then Battle for Supremacy's effect! By destroying 1 card on my field, I negate the effects of a card on yours! So I'll destroy Supreme King Magician, and negate the effects of Gale the Whirlwind!"
Supreme King Magician shattered while Gale greyed.
Gale the Whirlwind: (Effects Negated)
Crow frowned at that. "Great."
"As a Magician left the field, Star Pendulumgraph takes Blue Memory Magician to my hand." Zarc adds a card, "Then Supreme King Magician's effect! If destroyed, I take Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm to my hand!" He shows the card before calling, "Pendulum Summon! Reappear my monsters!"
The light shot four lights.
"Appear from the Extra Deck! Supreme King Magician, and Black Fang Magician!"
Both said magicians rose up.
Supreme King Magician: (Attack Position/ATK: 1400 + 300 = 1700/Type: Spellcaster/Dragon)
Black Fang Magician: (Attack Position/ATK: 1700 + 300 = 2000/Type: Spellcaster/Dragon)

You must also Tribute "Supreme King", and/or "Magician" monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon. If you control a face-up Dragon Pendulum Monster that was Pendulum Summoned this turn: You can also banish "Supreme King", or "Magician" monsters from your GY and/or Extra Deck, or detach the appropriate Xyz Materials from a face-up Dragon or Spellcaster Xyz Monster instead of Tributing.
Riley frowned hearing that before pausing. "Zarc?"
At that Black Fang Magician, Supreme King Magician, Blue Memory Magician gathered at the altar as it glowed.
"Dragon of dual-colored eyes, draw upon the power of the sacrificed and wipe out all who stand against you! I Ritual Summon! Return everything to nothing, Odd-Eyes Chaos Dragon!"
Odd-Eyes Chaos Dragon that appears when Yuya goes berserk rose up roaring loud.

While this card is face-up: Your opponent cannot target other monsters you control for attacks. If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed: You can place it in your Pendulum Zone.
Riley frowned seeing the monster before taking a step forward. "Zarc."
"I need to ask him something." Riley answered only to shudder seeing his dragon. "Zarc… why did you start using Ritual?"
Zarc hearing that grown a smirk with closed eyes, "I use to not see Ritual being useful... however from seeing it's potential, and power from my little sister, I grown into it. It's thanks to her, I seen how effective Ritual Summoning is."
"What the, you have a sister?" Mizar questioned.
"You all should know her. I'm her true older brother. Cassandra Sakaki!" Zarc spread his arms upon that declare.
"That's a lie!" Riley shouted. "Don't you dare blame Cassie!"
"Oh come now, whatever am I blaming her for?" Zarc said over to her with a smirk. "She merely helped me discover how powerful Ritual Summoning can be, and also helped me speed up my revival within Yuya Sakaki. So it's thanks to her that I have returned!"
Riley clenched her fists.
"Not to interrupt, but can we discuss this after the duel?" Crow requested.
"Of course. Battle for Supremacy's effect!"
Odd-Eyes Chaos Dragon: (ATK: 3000 + 300 = 3300/Type: Dragon/Spellcaster)
"And now Chaos Dragon attack Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame!" Chaos Dragon charged a blast firing at Shura.
Crow braced himself as his monster shattered.
(Crow: 2500/Hand: 2)
"Since a Blackwing was destroyed I can use Black Thunder!" Crow called.
Black Thunder
Normal Trap Card
Activate only when a "Blackwing" monster you control is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard. Inflict 400 damage to your opponent for each card your opponent controls.
"This deals 400 damage for every card on your field!"
A lightning bolt formed on the trap, and fired straight at Zarc who takes a card, "Hanewata!" A small fairy appeared taking the lightning bolt before vanishing.
"There goes that plan." Crow frowned. "I'll just have to figure out something next turn."
"I'm afraid that'd be wishful thinking." Zarc smirked over, "When Chaos Dragon destroys your monster when Ritual Summoned with a Pendulum Summoned monster, you take damage equal to that monster's points."
Chaos Dragon's orbs glowed firing firing a chaos blast at Crow. Crow's eyes widened as he was blasted again.
(Crow: 0700/Hand: 2)
"Finally Chaos Dragon can attack one more time." Zarc finished with a smirk.
Crow's eyes widened in shock.
"Two attacks?" Shark questioned.
"Chaos Dragon attack Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind, and end this duel!"
Chaos Dragon charged a second blast firing at Gale the Whirlwind.
Crow could only watch as his monster shattered.

Zarc wins!
"This is why you use your strongest moves possible on Zarc." Leo Akaba grunted from this.
"It seems so, but we're learning more about his strategies." Yusei pointed out.
Riley meanwhile was frowning at what Zarc had said. 'It isn't true, Zarc coming back wasn't Cassie's fault.'
Zarc smirked from this before saying, "I'm disappointed that's all you got despite confirming your a Synchro User."
Crow rolled his eyes. "Well to be honest I had a plan to take down Supreme King Z-ARC that I'm pretty sure would have worked."
"Better luck next time is what they say." Zarc shrugged over to him, "Until then wait your turn."
Crow frowned before walking back to the others. "Wish I could have confirmed if Boreas worked on his big monster but I didn't get the chance."
"Well we do know he doesn't always use his dragons at first, and have those Ritual Dragons." Joey said over to him with a shrug, "The more we learn his play-style the better!"
Crow frowned and looked down. "That might have worked if we still had them."
"So which one of you is next?" Zarc asked the group with a smirk.
"Give us a second." Joey told him. "Do any of you have a different way to win than just attacking with a strong monster?"
Everyone checks over each other before Odion stated over, "My Paleozoics can turn the tide."
"Then go ahead, take him down." Joey grinned.
Odion stepped forward as Zarc smirked to him, "So your next?"
"It would seem so." Odion nodded.
Meanwhile with Cassie and the female figure...
Cassie was breathing from training hard in her head to what Ray had given her, and Ray sees her progress is excellent but she still needs some practice to be ready.
"How are you feeling?" Ray asked her.
"Tired... But I will keep going." Cassie said still willing to go on despite feeling really exhausted.
"You shouldn't push yourself... it's ok to take a breather." Ray pointed out.
"But... Yuya is there... and... I need to keep going..." Cassie weakly argued standing up for the next part.
"And if you're exhausted you won't be able to help him, or Riley." Ray pointed out.
"But... I would burden them if I be lazy..." Cassie said over to her.
"You're not being lazy." Ray pointed out embracing her gently. "It'll be ok, why don't you take a minute to rest and tell me about the people in your life."
Cassie frowned but slowly nodded sitting down. Ray sat with her. "I promise, everything will work out."
She gently took Cassie's hand. Cassie smiled gently, "Okay, big sis Ray."
Ray blinked at that before smiling softly.
Ulrich362: Well, Crow managed to do a good amount of damage but didn't find out if he could beat Z-ARC with his strategy... not that it really would have worked but it would have been useful knowledge had he managed to pull off his plan.
bopdog111: And Cass is doing progress to what Ray is doing.
Ulrich362: Hopefully the Lancers and their allies can hold their own against Zarc until she manages to finish preparing. That said, next up before the duel I think it's time we get Zarc's perspective on what happened to Yuya all those years ago?
bopdog111: That sounds like a good idea.
Ulrich362: Cool. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
