We were now back at school the following day after Yuto and mine's Duel. I could see that Zuzu was still somewhere else in her mind due to the resemblance Yuto had with Yuya, while the others were bored at the lesson of today, and I could understand why...

''And that kids is how to Advance Summon !'' Skip said.

Basically, let's say that our teacher doesn't have a super huge knowledge on Dueling. Even if I know he is trying his best, I mean everyone knows the basics of Advance Summon.

''This is so boring !'' Frederick complained.

''Yeah, we already know how to Advance Summon !'' Tate replied. Then he slowly turned his head to me, giving him an idea. ''I know ! How about Yusei gives the teaching for today !''

I was a little taken aback. I mean teaching and I ? Let's say it's not a very good combination. Everyone looked at me waiting for an answer, the kids even looked at me with a begging smile.

''Come on Yusei, from you have told me, you know pretty much everything about the Summoning Methods. You should definitively go.'' Sora said.

''Hmmm. Yeah sure.'' I said weakly.

''That's brilliant !'' Skip exclaimed. ''Don't be shy, Yusei. Come here.'' He gestured to the front desk.

I got up from my chair and went behind from the front desk.

''Well... let's start with Fusion Summon.'' I announced. ''To perform a Fusion Summon, you need three things. A Fusion Spell card, a Fusion Monster in your Extra Deck and appropriates Monsters as Materials that are either in your hand or field. Then you activate the Fusion Spell card to send those materials to the Graveyard and Summon your Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. That's the most common and traditional way to Summon a Fusion Monster.''

''Most common and traditional way ? You mean there are others ?'' Yuya asked.

''Yeah of course. Archetypes focused on Fusion Summoning usually have their own Fusion cards allowing them sometimes to send the Fusion Materials Monster from the Deck to the Graveyard or to remove them from play from the Graveyard. That, and there is some monsters that have effects allowing to Fusion Summon, most of the times using themselves.'' I explained to which he was surprised to learn judging by his wide eyes.

''To close the chapter on Fusion Summon, there is also an advanced way to Fusion Summon called Contact Fusion.'' What I said seemed to perked their ears, especially Sora since, even though he knew what Contact Fusion was, was still surprised that I had the knowledge of this.

''Monsters that have the ability to Contact Fusion don't need the use of a Fusion card. All you need to do is shuffle those Monsters from the field back in the Deck and then you Summon a Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck.''

''Yes Sora ?''

''Did you face Duelists that could Contact Fusion ?'' He tried to figure out how I knew about Contact Fusion.

''I had seen very few Duelists that could Contact Fusion from where I come from but I never faced them.'' I answered and it appeared to be enough for him.

''Now let's get on my favorite type of Summoning called Synchro Summon. To perform a Synchro Summon, you need to have a Tuner Monster and any number of non-Tuner Monsters on your field. Then you tune those Monsters to your Tuner Monster and then you Synchro Summon a Monster with a Level equal to the combined Levels of your Synchro Materials.'' I then pulled my Ace card from my Deck.

''For example, if I want to Synchro Summon my Level 8 Stardust Dragon and I have a Level 5 Tuner Monster on my field, I either need one Level 3 Monster or one Level 2 and one Level 1 Monsters or three Level 1 Monsters that aren't Tuners on my field too. Just remember that you can't use more than one Tuner Monster.'' I explained while they seemed to understand.

''Like for Fusion Summon. There are two advanced ways of Synchro Summoning. Accel Synchro and Double Tuning. Double Tuning, like the name would suggest, is when you use two Tuner Monsters instead of one for Synchro Summoning but only if your Synchro Monster specifically requires two Tuners to Summon it. Those Monsters are focused on pure strength and power and have brutal effects that can easily overwhelm you.'' I explained.

''While Accel Synchro is when you Synchro Summon a Monster using a Synchro Tuner Monster and at least one Synchro non-Tuner Monster that also specifically need those Materials.''

''Hold on a sec !'' Sora interrupted. '' There are Synchro Tuner Monsters ?!'' Him and the rest of class were quite surprised.

''Yeah. Synchro Tuner Monsters usually don't have a lot of ATK or DEF points but they mostly have effects to support your Accel Synchros. Accel Synchro Monsters are focused on surprising your opponents with powerful effects and they are really hard to get out from the field. A Synchro Monster Summoned by Double Tuning or Accel Synchro should never be taken lightly as they easily be a major threat to the field. Some Accel Synchro Monsters have even the power to be Summoned during your opponent turn, with either the Accel Synchro Monster or the Synchro Tuner having that effect.'' I explained, to which they were all surprised to hear, which pleased me on the inside. I then saw Ayu raising her hand.

''Yes Allie ?''

''Did you faced Duelists that used those two Synchro Summoning Methods ?''

''No. But I owned some Accel Synchro Monsters. There was even one of them that I cherished a lot called Shooting Star Dragon.''

''Shooting Star Dragon ?'' Yuya thought.

''Can we see them ? Please ! Please !'' The kids begged.

''Sorry but no. I no longer have those Monsters.'' I sadly said earning disappointed looks from them. Yuya could see the sad expression on my face and wondered in concern why I was like that.

''Anyways...'' I began regaining my composure. ''We finished with Synchro Monsters now let's finish with the last of the three : Xyz Summon !'' At the mention of the Summoning method, Yuzu ears perked up and she immediately began to follow the lesson while Sora was in displease.

''To perform a Xyz Summon : you need to have a certain number of Monsters from the same Level on the field depending on how many your Xyz Monster requires, then you Overlay them to Summon a Xyz Monster with a Rank equal than the Level of the Monsters used while those latters turn into Overlay Units.''

Then Frederick raised his hand.

''Yeah Frederick?'' I asked the boy.

''What are Ranks ? Xyz Monsters don't have Levels ?''

''Instead of Levels, Xyz Monsters have black stars on their left side called Ranks. This makes Xyz Monsters unique in a way that cards with effects affecting Level 5 or lower Monsters for example won't work at all on Xyz Monsters, which can be both used as an advantage as well as a disadvantage. There is a rumor about Xyz Monters being Level 0 Monsters but that's not true.'' I explained to which he nodded.

''Yusei ! What are Overlay Units ?'' I turned to Zuzu who got up from her chair.

''Monsters used as Xyz Materials don't exactly leave the field. While technically they aren't on the field anymore, they are attached to your Xyz Monster as orbs of light floating around it called Overlay Units. A Xyz Monster that want to activate its effect needs to detach a certain number of Overlay Units. Because the usage of their effects is limited, Xyz Monsters are sometimes stronger than Fusion and Synchro Monsters. However, be careful on not wasting Overlay Units when you could have saved for later. Without Overlay Units, Xyz Monsters basically become ordinary Monsters with no effects.''

After my explanation, she nodded in understanding before sitting back.

''Also, I would lie to point out that unlike Fusion and Synchro, you cannot use Monster Tokens as Xyz Materials. Simply because they cannot exist in a place outside the field, such as being attached to a Xyz Monster.'' I quickly added to which they all nodded.

Then I saw Allie trying to ask me a question.

''Allie?''

''How do you know this much about Dueling ? Were you part from another Duel School before your travels ?''

''No I wasn't.'' I responded, to which everyone looked surprised.

''Really ? No one taught you and you learned everything by yourself ?'' Yuya asked a little disbelieved at my declaration.

''Well, not quite. After I became an orphan, I've made two friends who got me in the game. I never thought about joining the Dueling world but they absolutely wanted me to introduce me to the game so I said myself that I could do that for them. They really took their time and were extremely patient with me and then I finally understood everything about Duels and I finally became someone who knows what he talks about. The years I spent with them... were the best.'' I finished bitterly, looking down on the floor, remembering what happened last year.

''Anyways...'' I got over my emotions. ''Like Fusion and Synchro, there are advanced ways of Xyz Summoning. Some Xyz Monsters can be Summoned by Overlaying another Xyz Monster from a lower Rank while the other options are Rank-Up Magics. They are Spell cards used on a Xyz Monster to Summon another Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck a couple of times higher than your previous one, using that latter and sometimes even the Rank-Up card itself as Overlay Units.'' I finished my explanation on Xyz Summoning and they all nodded in understanding.

''Well, that's pretty much everything everyone. Thanks for your attention.'' I made a slight bow.

At the end of the lesson, the entire clapped like in a spectacle. ''Well, turned out better than what I thought.''

Then suddenly, we heard yelling out of nowhere.

''Ambush you say !''

''Gong ?'' Yuya asked surprised.

''Okay. I hope it won't end very badly.'' Was my thought before all of us headed to the source of that noise, only to find Gongenzaka arguing with Sawatari's three lackeys.

''What is going on here ?'' Skip asked.

''Principal. I, the man Gong, was on the middle of my daily morning run when I saw the three lackeys of this shameful Sylvio. When I confronted them, they had the nerves to accuse that Yuya ambushed someone, that's unforgivable !'' Gongenzaka exclaimed.

''Ambushed ?!'' Skip said in shock while taking a step back.

''I did ?!'' Yuya did in a similar way.

''That's right ! And don't say you forget about it !'' Idiot 1 said.

''And we saw it with our own eyes ! You attacked Sawatari !'' Idiot 3 continued.

''And it wasn't just us ! There were six witnesses in total ! Us three, Sylvio and... Zuzu Boyle and Yusei Fuji !''

Everyone turned and looked at us. While I felt indifferent, still with my serious face and arms crossed, same cannot be said about Zuzu. She was uncomfortable at the situation.

''Is that Zuzu, Yusei ? Did you see the culprit ?'' Skip interrogated us.

''Of course they did ! The culprit was none other than Yuya Sakaki !''

''Poor Sylvio. He was injured so badly that he needed to be hospitialized.'' Idiot 3 had a fake saddened look on his face.

''Hospitalized ?!'' Yuya yelled in shock.

''YAWN !''

A huge yawn was heard and everyone tried to look for the source only to find me with my hand before my mouth.

''What is it, Yusei ? Is the fact that Sylvio might die that is so boring to you ?'' Idiot 3 asked angrily.

''Nope, pretty much the fact that you lie about this story.'' I told them. ''I was here and I know what I saw. Sylvio wasn't injured at all from this ''attack''.'' I said the last word while making two gestures with my hand to. ''Only his jacket got damaged. In fact, I'm sure he's just chilling at the hospital.'' At my declaration, the three of them grunted.

''And also the lie about the culprit.'' At that, this only made them more angry.

''What are you talking about ! He clearly had the face of Yuya Sakaki !'' Idiot 1 complained.

''Same face as him maybe but what about the rest of his body ? I clearly remember that he had gray eyes, black and purple hair, a rather deep voice, different clothes, Duel Disk and Deck who in top of that includes Xyz Summoning which is a Summoning method Yuya is unable to use. Unless you four are completely colorblind, there was no way to think it was Yuya. And there is also one last detail proving my point.''

''And what it is ?'' The idiots asked at the same time.

''After you four run away like the cowards you are, I told Zuzu to get Yuya from You Show while I dueled our unexpected guest. Shortly after I beat him, he disappeared and Zuzu arrived few seconds later with Yuya by her side. She told me that once she got to You Show, Yuya was with her all the way back to the warehouse. Unless Yuya has magical powers allowing him to be at multiple places at the same time, it couldn't be him. And accusing Yuya of something he didn't do to Sawatari while this latter is also guilty on top of that doesn't appear like a good idea to me.''

The trio of jerks jumped in surprise at what I said.

''What do you mean ?'' Idiot 2 asked me.

''Sylvio was the first one to commit dishonorable acts by faking being Yuya's ''friend'', stealing his Pendulum Cards and dueling him with lives of children at stake. Even if Yuya somehow attacked Sawatari, considering the things he did before, an assault on him is too nice.'' I explained.

''Yusei...'' Yuya was touched by the way I defended him while turning to Zuzu. ''Yuzu, you also saw everything right ?''

''Well I...'' She was unsure of what to say.

''Come on Zuzu, I already told you...'' She irritated me. I literally told her than it wasn't Yuya yesterday so can she doubt.

''We will not let you get away like this !'' Idiot 2 exclaimed.

''Ok.'' I said in a low but menacing tone, cracking my knuckles. ''Since the easy way doesn't work with you, hard way it will be.''

''Yusei ! What are you going to...'' Yuya didn't have time to finish as I made a quick somersault and landed in front of Sawatari's lackeys. They didn't have time to react I hard punched in the face the one in front of me and swept the other ones, all of them being on the floor now.

''Why...!''

The idiot I punched in the face was about to complain until I grabbed all of them by the collars, bringing them to my face.

''Rich and annoying idiots like you and Sawatari deeply annoy me. Now, the second when I will release you, I want you to disappear from my sight immediately. Should I see you again or learn than one of my friends has problems because of you, I will send you to the hospital, however unlike Sawatari, your injuries will have high chances of being lethal. Did I make myself clear ?'' I said the last sentence with a huge venom in my voice, scaring the trio.

The three idiots looked at my eyes. It was like life were abandoning their bodies. They rapidly nodded rapidly and repetitively as I released them, making them fall on the floor. They looked at my face one last time, with still the same murdering expression while cracking my knuckles again. They then got up and run for their lives.

''Yusei can be really scary sometimes.'' Ayu shivered in fear, with the rest of You Show and even Gong agreed with her.

''Yeah, he gives the bad shivers in that state.'' Frederick confirmed.

''And when I thought Zuzu chasing me with her paper fan was scary enough...'' Yuya thought, sweating in fear looking at my angry face.

''W-Wait !'' Skip tried to call back the three jerks. ''Explain what happened !''

At that statement, we all made annoyed faces. Skip is definitely slow-minded.

''Allow me to explain to you.''

We all heard a female voice and we saw at our left a woman with magenta colored and heart-shaped hair that stepped out of a limousine.

''L...LDS current chairwoman !'' Skip exclaimed with surprise.

''Indeed, that is me.'' The woman responded with an unpleasant smile in her face. ''How about we take this matter inside ?''

''Ok. I definitely don't like this situation.'' I thought with a frustrated face as we all headed in the school.

All of us went inside the school, I standing arms crossed against a wall as Henrietta was sitting across Shuzo with the rest of You Show group behind him.

''It seems that the things took a quite surprising turn of events after I learnt that what Sawatari has done during my absence. Also, Yusei Fuji has given very convincing arguments that even I believe that Sakaki Yuya is not the culprit.'' She explained which make every of us confused.

''Then why did you even came here in the first place ?'' Skip asked.

''Simple actually. If word got out that a student from LDS, the best School in the world, was beaten by Duelist from a mediocre a Duel School, our School's reputation will be dragged in the mud. This is why a showdown between our schools are necessary.'' Henrietta said with a serious expression.

''A showdown ?'' Shuzo asked, as he and everyone else besides me were surprised. ''But Yuya isn't...'' He tried to reason but Henrietta didn't want to listen.

''This doesn't matter anymore ! The fact that LDS' reputation is in the mud is a problem and the only way to clean it is in a showdown between Schools !'' She exclaimed

''Sorry to tell you, Akaba-san, but the reason the reputation of your school is in the mud is because most of your Duelists are lame.'' I said bluntly, making You Show's gang looking at me at shock except Sora who only smirked.

''Excuse me ?'' Henrietta angrily said with a tick mark on her head.

''You heard me well. The fact that LDS is full of students with big wallets like Sawatari is one of the only reasons its still surviving. However, you can offer as many courses you want, a Duelist won't find his own style with this. If most of LDS students are as stupid and inexperienced as Sawatari then it's only a matter of time before it crumbles.'' I made my explanation.

Henrietta only grunted in displeasure while remembering what happened earlier in the morning.

Earlier this morning

''The same Yusho Sakaki that could have joined the enemy ?''

Himika, who just arrived from the airport after having merging another company with LDS, was now in the LDS tower with Declan. This latter explained to her everything that happened so far since her trip. Yet, explaining the new Pendulum Summoning method that has appeared along showing her Yuya Sakaki.

''We aren't sure yet if this is the case.'' Declan answered her question as he pressed a button on his remote, showing my profile Henrietta started to read.

''Yusei Fuji... 16 years old boy who also attends You Show Duel School. He only dueled thrice and he won all of his duels... what's special about this one ?'' She asked her son.

''He is a Duelist capable of Synchro Summoning but his Synchro Summons aren't ordinary. Every time he conducts one, a huge amount of energy is released.''

''A Synchro Duelist ? Is he from... ?'' Henrietta's gaze hardened but she didn't have time to finish her question as her son took the speech.

''We have suspicions that he comes from the Synchro Dimension but we aren't sure yet. If he is, we should also know if he is an ally or an enemy but he doesn't appear like one to me.''

Declan then pressed another button, showing more of my profile.

''His Deck is composed of Synchron Monsters along with a lot of low Level Monsters that he swarms into the field. While his Deck contains a lot of low Level Monsters, he knows how to exploit them to their full potential. His Synchro Monsters consists of Warriors that need specifics Synchron Monsters as Tuners. Due to them having a specific Tuner material, he doesn't seem to rely on the same Monsters to win and proved to be very versatile and capable of very quickly analyzing his opponent's strategy, making him no ordinary Duelist. I would even dare to say that he appears to be on my level.'' Declan explained to which Henrietta was really intrigued. Then Declan pressed a button showing my Ace Monster.

''His Ace Monster is called Stardust Dragon. From all the Synchro Monsters Yusei Fuji Summoned this far in Maiami City, it was the one which released the most energy. Every time it appeared, our systems just overheated.''

Henrietta just gasped in shock at Declan's declaration.

''If we can manage to get him to LDS, then we might have chances to figure his true origins.'' He explained.

''I must admit that this Duelist seems very interesting.'' Henrietta admitted.

Then the conversation turned to the incident concerning Sawatari and the Dark Duelist.

Back in the present

''So you are that Synchro Duelist Reiji talked about. I have yet to see if he is right to think that high of you...'' Henrietta thought.

''However, because of your comments towards our school, we will accept your challenge !'' I exclaimed.

At my declaration, Henrietta formed a smirk. ''Fine then. Let me explain what is in play. If you win, the case about Sylvio will be dropped and we will help for your School fundings.''

What she said about the funding really impressed me, as well as all the students in You Show.

''However, if our School wins, Yuya Sakaki's Pendulum Summoning and Yusei Fuji will have to become part of LDS.''

At her announcement, everyone and me included were surprised. I didn't thought at all that I interested LDS.

''What did you say ?'' Yuya exclaimed.

''No way !'' Zuzu said.

''It isn't enough to clear your name, but you also want to take our School and Yusei ?'' Gong was outraged.

''Don't tell me the attack on Sawatari was planned all the way out ?'' Skip asked her.

''No. But it's true that I took this opportunity. A chance for Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Pendulum as the four pillars of Summoning methods that teaches our School. There is a handful of Duelists who also want to use Pendulum Summoning. Isn't the case for you as well ?'' Henrietta asked the three children.

''But you can't do it without Yuya's Pendulum Cards.'' Tate said.

''This can be solved with the power of Leo Corporation. The reason for us to unite, also...'' She began while turning to me. ''Ever since he arrived, Yusei Fuji made quite the impact ever since he arrived at Maiami City.''

''Me ?'' I asked surprised.

''A lot of Duelists at LDS learnt about you and the teachers think you waste your time in a school like this.''

''Dueling isn't a tool for fighting !'' Yuya yelled as he held his Pendant. ''But I don't want You Show, my Pendulum Summon nor Yusei to be taken by someone else ! This School was created by my father to teach Entertainments Duels and that Duels are meant to be enjoyed and bring smiles to everyone. I won't give to someone like you, who thinks they can use money and power to control everything !''

''Well said Yuya. I, the man Gong, will fight with you !'' Gong declared in pride.

''But aren't you an outsider ?'' Sora asked, freezing Gongenzaka with his mouth wide open. ''It would make more sense if Yuya, Zuzu, Yusei and I to fight. Besides, I want myself to face some LDS students.''

''To think you would exclude the man Gong !'' The steadfast Duelist complained.

''You heard them, Chairwoman Akaba.'' Skip determinedly said. ''We won't hand over You Show !'' They all yelled in unison.

''As they said.'' I added myself, making the chairwoman grin.

''So then, shall we begin ?''

At Henrietta's words, we made our way to the Solid Vision area, where we met none other than three characters that we no longer heard about after the Standard Arc : Dipper O'rion, Julia Krystal and Kit Blade.

''It will be three duels.'' Henrietta announced as she and her students stood across us in the arena. ''The first to get two wins will be victorious. Is that fine with all of you ?'' She asked and we all nodded. ''Now then who will go first ?''

I was about to propose myself volunteer but Yuya stopped me.

''Yusei, please let me go first.'' He asked me. I saw the determination in his eyes so I accepted it.

''Fine, you can go Yuya.'' I nodded.

''Thank you.'' He smiled to me.

''Fine then but don't think it will be that easy. These students are Aces at each of LDS Summoning Courses.'' Henrietta said.

''And the only 'not half bad' Duelists in your School since most of your students can't even read a simple rule book.'' I added bluntly, which in result gave a dirty glare from her and her students as the You Show students giggled.

''Hey take that back, you jerk !'' Dipper yelled outraged.

I shoot him a death glare, to which he flinched in fear. ''Make me if you dare.''

He didn't add another word.

''As I expected.'' I said.

''Gentleman...Settle this on the Duel field. However, I would like to just make you know that Yuya's opponent will the Ace of Xyz Summon Dipper Orion.'' She said making the boy I scared earlier step ahead with a smirk on his face.

''58 Duels with 53 wins ?! His ratio is over 90 % !'' Tate said shocked at seeing Dipper's profile.

''Sweet. This will only make Yuya's victory even more better against him.'' I said with a smirk of my own while talking to Yuya. ''Take him down Yuya. I'm sure you can win.''

''Thanks Yusei. I'll win no matter what !'' Yuya declared with his own smile and began to walk to the Action Field. The duel started.

And ended like in the Anime. Hokuto Summoned his Constellar first turn and kept returning Yuya's Odd-Eyes back to his hand, putting him in difficulty. However, Yuya outclevered him by using Magician of Astronomy's effect to counter dipper Constellar's effect and used Magical Star Illusion to win the first match in You Show's favor.

''Told ya you would have been the winner.'' I congratulated as he went out the of the Action Field.

''Thanks for having believed in me, Yusei.'' Yuya simply replied as Himika approached us.

''Well then, shall we continue ?'' She asked, displeased that her student lost.

I took a look to the two remaining opponents, I saw Julia looking straight at me, looking me from head to toe and formed a smirk.

I then make a smirk of my own. ''Well it's for the best, I guess.'' I said while stepping forward.

''Wait Yusei !'' I heard Zuzu calling me. I turned around to face her. ''Let me Duel Julia next !'' At her declaration, everyone got shocked.

''Are you sure Yuzu ? I mean, Yusei can probably deal with this on its own.'' Yuya worryingly asked.

''Yes ! I want to finish this by winning this one !'' Zuzu said with a determined look.

''Well ok then. If you are sure about this, you can duel her.'' I told her.

''Thank you Yusei ! I won't let you down !'' She said happily.

''If only this could be the case...'' I thought sadly.

Even though Yuzu had a good start, Julia quickly took back the advantage with her Gem-Knights Monsters. She tried to catch an Action Card but it only was a reflection on a crystal pillar, which gave Julia the chance to end her. And with that, the second Duel ended in LDS' favor.

''Zuzu !'' Yuya rushed to her, trying to comfort her and Yuzu buried her head into Yuya's chest with tears in her eyes.

''You two are giving quite the show.'' Julia commented with a smirk.

Zuzu immediately became red and pushed Yuya on the floor, making him groan in pain.

''What those two are waiting for ? It's clear that they have feeling for each other.'' I thought while approaching the two as Zuzu walked towards me.

''Yusei, I'm sorry. This was an important Duel and I...couldn't...'' Zuzu apologized with teary eyes.

''I placed my hand on her shoulder, making her look at me. ''Don't worry, Zuzu. Defeat is not something you should be ashamed of. You can learn a lot of thing from your defeats.''

''Yusei is right.'' Yuya joined the conversation. ''We just need to win the next Duel.''

''Just need to win the next Duel ? You make it sound too easy.'' Kit said. ''Now which of you is my opponent ?''

''Sora, it's up to you now !'' Gong yelled. ''We are all counting on you !''

''Hmm. I think I'll pass. I hate this kind of situation. How about you go instead, Gong ?'' Sora asked.

''G-Gong ?!'' Gong yelled. ''To call the man Gong -wait ? What did you say Sora ?''

''If you want to fight instead of me, you can go ahead.'' He said as took another bite from his candy.

''I can see that you want to protect You Show as everyone else. You can do it Gong.'' I said, giving a thumbs up on the shoulder.

''We're counting on you Gong.'' Yuya told him ''Do your best.''

''Yuya...Yusei...'' Gong began with teary eyes as he clenched his fist in determination. ''I, the man Gong, will defend You Show will all my power !''

The Duel was intense and epic. Kit swarmed his field with XX-Saber Monsters and Gongenzaka, as true to his Dueling style, didn't move a but to take an Action Card. This is why I like this character. The Duel ended to a draw thanks to Gong's Superheavy Samurai Soul Big Bang. The score is now a tie.

After the Duel ended, we all run to Gong who was severely beaten up.

''I'm sorry...Yuya...Yusei...'' Gong said as we helped him to get up. ''My Steadfast Dueling... wasn't enough to save You Show.''

''No. You did more than enough. Don't worry.'' I reassured him.

''That's right. Thanks to you, we at least managed to get a draw.'' Yuya continued.

As he heard this, Gong formed a smile at his two friends.

''Chairwoman Akaba.'' Shuzo spoke to her through his microphone. ''The results of all the Duels are a draw, which means that you cannot take You Show nor Yusei in the end. Now I will kindly ask you to leave.''

''What are you talking about ? I've already told you, LDS' reputation is at stake ! As such, there is no draw possible !'' Henrietta responded in anger

''But... the duel just ended in a draw...''

''Then let's have a tiebreaker.'' Henrietta suggested as she didn't want to listen to Skip. ''The Duelists from each Schooh that had a win will face each other and settle this once and for all !''

I saw Yuya approaching with his goggles over his eyes. That's it, I have enough of this. I will be the one to put everything in order...

''Akaba ?'' I addressed the Chairwoman from LDS who turned her attention on me. ''I think I have a proposal of a more interesting Duel.''

''Oh ?'' She asked curiously. ''And what it might be ?''

I turned at the corner. ''I know you are there Declan Akaba. You can come out now.'' I called, making the You Show students wondering who I was talking to.

Then, a figure with a black hood, red scarf, white pants and shoes came out from the shadows. It removed his hood, revealing a young gray-haired pale man from the same age as me but a bit taller with red glasses.

''Who is this ? I, the man Gong, never saw that man in my life.'' Gong asked.

''Declan Akaba.'' I began getting the attention from everyone in the room and making Reiji look at me curiously. ''The current President of LDS and youngest Duelist in history to have the certification to duel in the professional circuit, having done that at just fifteen years old. In a few words, one of the best Duelists ever alive.'' I finished my explanation making everyone look at Declan in shock and awe. ''You should avoid coming to parties to which you aren't invited.''

''I'm impressed that you know so much about me and that you knew I was monitoring the Duels from the shadows.'' Declan said, seeming somehow impressed.

''Well, let's just say I come from somewhere that let me know everything about to happen here.'' I thought.''

''You seem to want to settle the battle with me. I will accept it but let's recap first.'' He said while straightening his glasses. ''If I win, You Show Duel School alongside Pendulum Summoning and you will have to be a part of LDS. If you win, the matter about Sawatari will be dropped entirely and we will be out of our way as well as giving you fundings for your School.''

''Very well, let's go !'' I declared as I and Declan entered the Action Field.

''Go Yusei, take him down !'' The trio of kids cheered.

''You can do this !'' Yuya and Zuzu added.

''I, the man Gong, am sure you can win !''

''Show him a hot-blooded Duel !'' Skip exclaimed from the Control Room.

We arrived both face-to-face with each other. Declan stood in a calm manner and me with my usual serious and stoic expression.

''Is this Declan Akaba really as strong Yusei said him to be ?'' Zuzu asked her friends.

''I don't know. But if what Yusei said is true, then he is not an opponent to be taken lightly.'' Gongenzaka responded.

''I hope Yusei will be alright.'' Yuya hoped.

''Which Action Field would you like to use ?'' Skip asked from the Control Room.

''No preferences.'' I simply answered.

''Likewise.'' Declan also responded the same thing.

Skip then looked at the screen, thinking his best at what Action Field he should put. ''So far, I only used Action Fields that actually gave LDS an advantage. I know it might sound cowardly but I have to pick the Action Field the most suited for Yusei. If I remember correctly, he said that he likes science-fiction movies...''

''Action Field on ! Futuristic City !'' Skip pressed a button.

The Solid Vision started to turn, and multiples giants buildings formed under a night sky with some flying cars on the side.

''Duelists locked in battle !'' Yuya and Zuzu began to chant.

''Kicking the earth and dancing in the air with their Monsters !'' Gong and Sora joined in.

''They storm through the field !'' The kids also took part in the chant.

''Behold ! The newest and greatest evolution of Dueling !'' The LDS trio finished.

''Action...''

The cards then scattered all around the field.

DUEL !

Yusei : 4000 LP Hand : 5

vs

Declan : 4000 LP Hand : 5

''You can have the first turn.'' I offered to Declan.

''Huh ? And might I ask why are giving me this opportunity ?'' Declan asked.

I didn't answer right away, as I didn't know what to say at first but then it came in my mind. ''Hmm... By courtesy for your guest ?''

Yes, I know. I didn't find any better answers.

''I see. You are that kind of person.'' Declan said while straightening his glasses. ''Very well. I accept your offer. It's my turn.''

''I will start by activating three Continuous Spells from my hand. The first one is Contract with the Hellgate. This card inflicts me 1000 points during each of my Standby Phases, but in exchange I can add a Level 4 or lower D/D Monster from my Deck to my hand.'' A card popped from Declan's Deck. ''I chose to add D/D Lilith to my hand.''

''What ? His card will inflict him 1000 points of damage during each of his Standby Phase ?''

''And the only benefit he gets from that is to add a Monster ?'' Allie added.

''Also that is a D/D Monster. What kind of Monster is that ?'' Tate asked.

''My second Continuous Spell is another copy of Contract with the Hellgate. This time, I add D/D Cerberus to my hand.''

''Another one ? But then he will take 2000 points of damage on his next turn !'' Tatsuya stated.

''I don't get it, why taking so much risk just to add two Monsters ?'' Yuya asked.

''And for my last Continuous Spell : Contract with the Swamp King. I take 1000 points during my Standby Phase but in exchange during my Main Phase, I can Fusion Summon a Demon-type from my Extra Deck once per turn, using Monsters in my hand or field.''

Everyone got shocked.

''He can Fusion Summon ?!'' Yuya exclaimed.

''But he risks another 1000 points of damage, that makes 3000 now !'' Zuzu exclaimed.

''I fuse the D/D Lilith and the D/D Cerberus in my hand !'' He announced as his Monsters joined the Fusion Vortex and he began to chant. ''Hellhound that bares its fangs, vamp of the dark night ! In a whirlpool of light from the realm of the dead, become one and give birth to a new king. Fusion Summon ! Be born, Come forth, ruler who carries the glory of God ! D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc !''

A female winged white demon armed with a sword was born from the Fusion Vortex.

(D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc/Level 7/2800 ATK/2000 DEF/Demon/Fusion/DARK)

''King d'Arc ?'' I thought surprised to see her already and not Genghis.

''So he can really Fusion Summon.'' Gong stated.

''But why would he so much risk to summon that Monster ? And this time, it's D/D/D.'' Zuzu noted.

''Three D... what does the third D stand for ?'' Yuya asked with a worried expression.

''I cannot find anywhere a record of Declan Akaba using Fusion Summon.'' Skip tried to find into his D-Pad. ''Do not tell me he was so strong that he didn't have to use them until now ?'' Skip turned his attention back on the Duel. ''Yusei... be careful.''

''I Set two cards and end my turn.'' Declan placed his remaining cards facedown.

''He has no cards in hand now.'' Yuya added.

As I prepared to get on my turn, I saw Declan looking at me with a hand on his face, with a strange look to add on. That made me feel uneasy.

''Why does he seems so relaxed ? He isn't showing any sings of concern.'' Gong pointed.

''Relaxed ?'' Everyone turned to Sora. ''Maybe. He is willing to gamble to risk 3000 damage for that Monster. I think that he is underestimating Yusei.''

A mix of shock and anger was on Zuzu's face. ''What ?''

''That's unforgivable !'' Gong clenched his face in rage. ''To disrespect your opponent like that ! That's an insult to all Duelists !''

''Gong is right ! You must give everything you have in a Duel !'' Yuya joined in.

''Take him down Yusei !'' The kids yelled.

''Poor guys. I think they never saw a sophisticated strategy.'' I thought to myself.

''However it's strategy is slightly different from the Anime. He Summoned D/D/D King d'Arc whose effect allows him to turn effect damage into Life Points once per turn. He will use it to avoid to take damage from his Contracts next turn. His two Set cards are probably to make sure his Monster stays on the field.'' I tried to think while examining the cards in my hand to look for a solution.

''Guys. What's wrong with Yusei ?'' Allie said worried.

''He is probably thinking of what strategy to use against Declan and honestly he is not to blame. When your opponent risks 3000 points of damage like that, you have to think of every scenario.'' Sora told them, still eating his chocolate.

''Yusei...'' Zuzu muttered quietly.

''Alright. Time for action !'' I thought. ''Draw ! I send Dandylion from my hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon the Tuner Monster, Quickdraw Synchron !'' I discarded a card to Summon a gunslinger dressed as a tiny cowbow Monster armed with two small guns.

(Quickdraw Synchron/Level 5/700 ATK/1400 DEF/Machine/Tuner/WIND)

''Tuner Monster ?'' Kit asked.

''When Dandylion is sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon two Fluff Tokens in DEF Position !''

Two Monsters that were literally two dandelion pappus appeared on my field.

(2x Fluff Token/Level 1/0 ATK/0 DEF/Plant/Token/WIND)

''I then Summon Tuning Supporter !''

A little Monster with a yellow scarf with a pan on its head appeared on my field.

(Tuning Supporter/Level 1/100 ATK/300 DEF/Machine/LIGHT)

''I tune my Level 1 Tuning Supporter and my Level 1 Fluff Tokens to my Level 5 Quick Synchron !''

Upon my declaration, my Monsters flew ready to do the Synchro Summoning process. Before doing the Synchro Summon, a turning wheel with Synchron Tuner Monster cards appeared before Quick Synchron and this latter shoot with his gun, and the wheel stopped from turning showing Junk Synchron's card being hit by the bullet.

''Gathering fighting souls will awake the raging wicked god ! Become the path that lights the way!''

(1 + 1 + 1 + 5 = 8)

''Synchro Summon ! Pulverize, Junk Destroyer !''

I Summoned a black and grey robot with red eyes two pairs of arms and a shooting device connected to his chest in Attack Position.

(Junk Destroyer/Level 8/2600 ATK/2500 DEF/Warrior/Synchro/EARTH)

''Alright ! Yusei managed to Synchro Summon already !'' The kids cheered.

''But it only has 2600 ATK.'' Yuya remarked. ''How is he gonna beat King d'Arc with that Monster ?'' He wondered aloud.

''When Tuning Supporter is used for a Synchro Summon, I can draw a card from my Deck !'' I declared while drawing. ''Next, Junk Destroyer's effect activates ! When this card is Synchro Summoned, I can destroy one card on your field for each non-Tuner Monster used as his Materials !'' I explained, with the ghosts of the Fluff Tokens and Tuning Supporter hovering Junk Destroyer.

''What ?'' The LDS trio said shocked.

''I can destroy three cards with Junk Destroyer's effect ! I chose to destroy D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc and those two Set cards !'' I pointed the cards on Declan's field as Junk Destroyer began to shoot three blasts with his device on its chest. ''Tidal Sweep !''

The three blast approached the cards designed earlier on Reiji's field.

''Trap activate !'' Reiji lifted one of his Set cards. ''Contract with the Knight ! When my D/D/D Monster is targeted by a card effect, I can negate that effect. However, after this card is activated,I will take 1000 points of damage during my next Standby Phase.'' He said as a knight armed with a shield appeared before King d'Arc and his shield absorbed all three energy blasts of Junk Destroyer.

''Raw !'' Frederick complained. ''He negated Junk Destroyer's effect !''

''But he activated another Contract, meaning that he will take 4000 points of damage on his next turn !'' Gong realized. ''What on earth is he thinking ?'' The others were shocked at his move while Henrietta only smirked.

''So one of his Set cards was really to protect King d'Arc, as I thought.'' I stated in my mind. ''Then I activate the Spell : Battle Waltz ! I target a Synchro Monster on my field and Special Summon a Waltz Token with the same stats as that Synchro Monster. However, we do not take Battle Damage coming from that Token. Appear, Waltz Token !''

A blueish replica of Junk Destroyer appeared on my field.

(Waltz Token/Level 8/2600 ATK/2500 DEF/Warrior/Token/EARTH)

''There is now two Junk Destroyers !'' Yuya exclaimed.

''However what he plans to do ? Neither of them are strong enough to take down Reiji's Monster.'' Yuzu asked.

''Battle !'' I declared shocking everyone watching the duel. ''The Waltz Token attacks D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc !''

The Waltz Token jumped at King d'Arc, only to be sliced in half by this latter with her sword, to which he exploded creating a smoke on the field.

''What was Yusei thinking ?! Even though he didn't take Battle Damage coming from his Token, he lost a strong Monster !'' Tate wondered in disbelief.

When the smoke began to vanished, Declan noticed a little smirk on my face. Suspicious, he looked at our two Monsters on the field and he was shocked to see King d'Arc kneeling.

(D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc : 2800-200 ATK)

''What ? How did Declan's Monster got so weak ?'' Kit asked shocked. The other spectators and Declan were looking at me for since I obviously knew the answer.

''This is another effect of Battle Waltz. If the Waltz Token Summoned by its effect gets destroyed in battle the turn this Spell was activated, the Monster that destroyed it loses ATK equal to what the Token had.'' I explained.

''So this was your plan...'' Declan muttered.

''Now let's continue ! I attack King d'Arc again with Junk Destroyer ! Fist of Ferocity!''

Junk Destroyer fired four punches coming at the Fusion Demon. Declan jumped to get an Action Card. The projectiles finally touched King d'Arc creating an explosion.

''Alright he did it !'' The kids cheered while the LDS crew was in disbelief. However, I could tell that something wasn't right. Once the smoke cleared, it was still there...

(D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc : 200 ATK)

''His Monster is still here !'' Yuya was in shock.

''But how ?'' Zuzu asked.

''The second effect of my Trap, Contract with the Knight activated from my Graveyard. If a D/D/D Monster is about to be destroyed in battle, I can remove this card from play to negate it.

Declan : 4000-1600 LP Hand : 0

I was frustrated. ''Now when Declan turn will come, he will be able to severely increase his Life Points. Now what to do ?'' I checked my hand to search for a solution. Maybe if Declan uses the effects of his two Contracts with the Hellgates, I could use that at my advantage...

''You hesitate on ending your turn ?'' I turned to Declan who was talking to me. ''If you do that, the effects of my Contracts will activate, dealing me a total of 4000 points of damage giving you the win.''

''I'm afraid you shouldn't take me for an idiot, Declan Akaba.'' I coldly responded. It's pretty clear that your Monster has an effect that will allow you to avoid the damage of your Contracts.'' Declan was slightly surprised at how right I was. ''I Set three cards and end my turn. I know that you won't take damage so show us your trick.'' I told him while Setting the rest of my hand to the Spell and Trap Zone.

A little smirk formed on Declan's face formed. ''Impressive.'' He then started his turn. ''Draw ! At this moment, the effects of all my four Contracts activate ! During my Standby Phase, each of them deal me 1000 points of damage.'' His Contracts prepared to deal damage to him.

''Declan Akaba will now take 4000 points of damage ! This is Yusei's win !'' Yuya naively said in excitement.

''However, Contracts are mere a trivial thing.'' Declan coolly said. ''D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc's effect also activates at this moment ! Once per turn, if we should take effect damage, King d'Arc negates that damage and I gain Life Points equal to the damage negated ! Life Elation !''

The female demon lifted her arm to absorb the damage of the Contract while Declan was healed in a green aura.

Declan : 1600-5600 LP Hand : 1

''WHAT ?!'' Everyone exclaimed except me and Henrietta as we both knew what Declan was going to do.

''He regained that much Life Points ?'' Allie asked.

''That means that Yusei's efforts to deal him damage were meaningless !'' Gong said, still in disbelief.

''That's not fair !'' Frederick exclaimed.

''You seemed to know that I wouldn't have taken damage coming from my Contracts.'' Declan talked to me. ''May I ask you what gave you the hint ?''

''Simply with the fact that you took so much risk to Summon this Monster. I presumed that either your Monster or one of your Set cards had effects to negate the damage dealt to you. Considering that you played a Trap card that protects your Monster from both destruction by card effects and by battle, I understand that it was the key in your strategy.'' I made my explanation, to which Declan made a little smirk.

''I see now. You Summoned Junk Destroyer to clear my field of King d'Arc and my two Set cards since you didn't know what effects they could have. With nothing to protect me from damage, a Direct Attack from Junk Destroyer and the risk effects of my Contracts would have end me. In top of that, you had Battle Waltz as a back-up in case your Monster's effect didn't work. You are truly an impressive Duelist, Yusei Fuji. To be able to read my strategies like they were an open book is really intriguing. However, this is now where the true battle starts !'' Declan declared as he activated his last Set card.

''Trap activate ! D/D/D Replacement ! I release a D/D/D Monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck on my field and draw cards equal to the number of Materials used for its Summon !'' He explained as his D/D/D Monster vanished, allowing him to draw two cards.

''He sent his Monster to his Graveyard just to draw two cards ?'' Zuzu asked perplexed.

''Remember. His Monster only had 200 ATK points. Junk Destroyer could have gotten rid of it anyway.'' Sora explained.

''Next the effects of my two Continuous Spell : Contract with the Gate activate ! I add D/D Night Howl and D/D Berformet !'' He activated the effects of his Contracts again.

Now here is my chance...

''I think I'll take advantage of your hand replenishment !'' I yelled to Declan. ''Trap Card open ! Talisman of Revival ! It activates when my opponent adds cards to his hand outside out of the Draw Phase. I draw cards until I have the same number of cards as you !'' I told him as I drew five cards.

''Incredible. They both went from having no cards to having five in hands.'' Zuzu remarked.

''Something tells me that this will be a fierce battle.'' Gong stated.

''So you know I would use my Contract effects and you took advantage of it to refresh your hand. However it won't matter.'' Reiji said as he began his real moves. ''I Summon the Tuner Monster D/D Night Howl !'' A flying demonic mouth appeared on Reiji's field.

(D/D Nightowl/Level 3/300 ATK/800 DEF/Tuner/Demon/DARK)

''Tuner Monster ?'' Yuya said surprised.

''Does that mean...?'' Zuzu tried to complete his thought.

''Now the show can really begin.'' Himika thought with a devious smile.

''When Night Howl is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a D/D Monster from my Graveyard but with its ATK and DEF points are reduced to 0 ! Revive, D/D Lilith !''

The little demon was revived from a portal before me as it joined Reiji's field.

(D/D Lilith/Level 4/100-0 ATK/2100-0 DEF/Demon/DARK)

''D/D Lilith's effect activates ! When this card is Special Summoned, I can add a D/D Monster from my Graveyard back to my hand !'' He said as he added back Cerberus to his hand.

''Following, I tune my Level 4 D/D Lilith to my Level 3 D/D Night Howl !'' Declan tuned his two Monsters together.

''Howls that tear through the night. Gain the swiftness of a gale and become the cries of a newborn king !''

(4 + 3 = 7)

''Synchro Summon ! Be born ! Level 7 ! D/D/D Gale King Alexander !''

A blueish king with red eyes armed with a sword and a cape symbolizing the element of wind appeared on Reiji's field.

(D/D/D Gale King Alexander/Level 7/2500 ATK/2000 DEF/Demon/Synchro/WIND)

''A Synchro Monster, just like Yusei.'' Yuya commented.

''Then I activate the effect of the Continuous Spell : Contract with the Swamp King ! Once per turn, I can Fusion Summon a Fiend-Type Monster from my Extra Deck, using Monsters in my hand ! I fuse D/D Cerberus and D/D Berformet !'' He declared as his demonic three-headed dog and a grostesuqe green creature were joining the Fusion vortex.

''Hellbound that bares its fangs, grostesque God ! Become one and give birth to a new king ! Fusion Summon ! Be born, Raging Inferno King Temujin !''

From the Fusion vortex came another king colored in red, armed with a shield and a sword which this time seems to symbolize the element of fire.

(D/D/D Flame King Genghis/Level 6/2000 ATK/1500 DEF/Demon/Fusion/FIRE)

''A second Fusion Summon...'' Yuya and Yuzu muttered in shock...

''D/D/D Gale King Alexander effect activates ! When a D/D Monster besides this card is Special Summoned, I can Special Summon a D/D Monster from my Graveyard ! Revive, D/D Lilith !''

Alexander opened a portal that allowed the little female serpentine demon to revive.

(D/D Lilith/Level 4/100 ATK/2100 DEF/Demon/DARK)

''D/D/D Flame King Genghis's effect also activates ! Like Alexander, I can Special Summon a D/D Monster from my Graveyard when another one is Special Summoned ! Revive, D/D Cerberus !''

As he declared, Temujin did the same process as Alexander, reviving his three-headed dog.

(D/D Cerberus/Level 4/1800 ATK/600 DEF/Demon/DARK)

''Two Level 4 Monsters !'' Yuya began.

''Does that mean...'' Zuzu tried to guess.

''I Overlay my Level 4 D/D Lilith and D/D Cerberus to build the Overlay Network !'' He told as his two Monsters turned into dark energy which joined the portal for Xyz Monsters.

In order to subjugate all that resides in this world, now, descend onto the peak of the world! Xyz Summon! Be born ! Rank 4 ! D/D/D Surging Waves King Caesar !''

From the Overlay Network came the third king armed with a huge blade symbolizing the element of water was finally Summoned into Reiji's field.

(D/D/D Wave King Caesar/Rank 4/2400 ATK/1200 DEF/Demon/Xyz/WATER/ORU : 2)

''Fusion, Synchro and Xyz in one turn...'' Yuya and Yuzu muttered.

''He can perform all three Summoning methods !'' Skip exclaimed. ''I hope that you have what to resist Yusei...''

''D/D/D stands for Different Dimension Demon ! I'll have you taste their power beforehand. Now let's see if you have what it takes to defeat me ! D/D/D Gale King Alexander attacks Junk Destroyer !'' Declan assaulted my Synchro Warrior with his Synchro Demon while in the same time activating the Action card he got earlier. ''And at this moment I activate the Action Spell : Extreme Sword ! Raising Alexander's ATK by 1000 !'' He said as an aura surrounded Alexander to increase its power.

(D/D/D Gust King Alexander : 2500-3500 ATK)

''Oh no ! This is bad ! If he destroys Junk Destroyer, Yusei will be wide open for the next two king's attacks !'' Yuya exclaimed as he and You Show's students were worried about me. However, I got it under control.

''Continuous Trap activate : Forceful Stop ! I send a card I control to the Graveyard to end your Battle Phase !'' I explained while pointing my last Set card. ''I send Limiter overload to the Graveyard !''

My Trap disintegrated while a barrier appeared and protected Junk Destroyer from Alexander's slash, making You Show's crew breath in relief.

''He's safe.'' Zuzu said relaxed.

''And whenever Limiter overload is sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates !'' A card popped out from my Deck. ''Allowing me to Special Summon Speed Warrior from my hand, Deck or Graveyard !''

I placed the card in my Monster Zone, making Speed Warrior appeared in its glory in Defense Position.

(Speed Warrior/Level 2/900 ATK/400 DEF/Warrior/WIND)

''Impressive.'' Declan said mildly impressed. ''I activate Contract Breaching, I return my three Contract to my Deck to draw three cards.'' Declan drew three cards ''I Set one card and end my turn. Now show me your real potential, Yusei Fuji.'' He told me while one reversed card appeared on his field.

''My turn !'' I said as I drew a card and smirked to see what it was. ''Well, if you really want to see what I am really capable then I promise you won't be disappointed.''

''Spell activate : Graceful Charity ! I draw three cards from my Deck and send two cards from my hand to the Graveyard !'' I checked the cards I drew. ''I sent quillBolt Hedgehog and A/D Changer to the Graveyard.''

I sent my rodent with bolts amongst his fur and a tiny warrior holding a red flag and a blue one with the letters A and D on them respectively while Summoning a new Monster.

''I Summon Synchron Carrier !''

A small orange Monster which had a mix of construction sites vehicles on its body appeared on my field.

(Synchron Carrier/Level 2/0 ATK/1000 DEF/Machine/EARTH)

''Synchron Carrier's effect. I can Normal Summon a Synchron Monster in addition of my first Normal Summon. Appear, Tuner Monster, Road Synchron !''

I then Summoned a yellow Monster with a streamroller as its bot part.

(Road Synchron/Level 4/1600 ATK/800 DEF/Machine/Tuner/LIGHT)

''When I have a Tuner Monster on the field, I can Special Summon Bolt Hedgehog back from my Graveyard ! Come, Bolt Hedgehog !''

My little rodent also resurrected.

(QuilBolt Hedgehog/Level 2/800 ATK/800 DEF/Machine/EARTH)

''Level 4 Road Synchron tunes Level 2 Bolt Hedgehog and Level 2 Synchron Carrier !'' I declared as Road Synchron turned into rings as Bolt Hedgehog and Synchron Carrier passed through them and turned into stars.

''Gathering hopes will evoke a new horizon ! Become the path that lights the way !''

(4 + 2 + 2 = 8)

''Synchro Summon ! Dash onward, Road Warrior !''

A monster with a pair of huge claws and dressed like some kind of knight appeared on my field in Attack Position.

(Road Warrior/Level 8/3000 ATK/1500 DEF/Warrior/Synchro/LIGHT)

''3000 ATK !'' The kids exclaimed in joy.

''That is a strong Monster.'' Gong commented

''This card can be Special Summoned by releasing one Warrior-type Monster on my field !'' I said as I sent Speed Warrior to the Graveyard. ''I release Speed Warrior ! Come forth, Turret Warrior !''

Speed Warrior disintegrated, taking the shape of a warrior with huge limbs.

(Turret Warrior/Level 5/1200 ATK/2000 DEF/Warrior/EARTH)

''Next, Road Warrior Monster's effect activates !'' I declared as a card ejected from my Deck. '' Once per turn, I can Special Summon a Level 2 or lower Monster from my Deck ! Come, Tuner Monster, Nitro Synchron !''

My gasoline Tuner Monster was Summoned to my field.

(Nitro Synchron/Level 2/300 ATK/100 DEF/Machine/Tuner/FIRE)

''And finally I tune my Level 5 Turret Warrior to my Level 2 Nitro Synchron !'' I said while Tuning my two Monsters together.

''Gathering feeling will now become a new force ! Become the path that lights the way !''

(2 + 5 = 7)

''Synchro Summon ! Blaze on, Nitro Warrior !''

Finally, my green Synchro Warrior was Summoned.

(Nitro Warrior/Level 7/2800 ATK/1800 DEF/Warrior/Synchro/FIRE)

''He now has three Synchro Monsters on his field !'' Dipper exclaimed.

''All of them are stronger than Declan's Monsters !'' Julia added.

''Just who the hell is that guy ?'' Kit asked in jealousy.

''Go Yusei !'' The You Show gang cheered.

''Go ! Show him your hot-blooded Duel !'' Skip exclaimed from the Control Room.

''Due to Nitro Synchron's effect, I can draw a card.'' I said as I added a card to my hand. ''Next, A/D Changer's effect activates from my Graveyard !''

''From his Graveyard too ?'' The LDS trio were shocked.

''By removing this card from play, I can change the Battle Position of one Monster on the field. I switch Alexander into Defense Position !'' I declared as Declan's Synchro Demon took a defensive state.

(D/D/D Gust King Alexander : 2500 ATK 2000 DEF)

''Why would he activate that effect ? Any of his Monsters were strong enough to take down Declan's kings so why would he change it to Defense Position when now he can't deal damage to it ?'' Frederick asked in confusion.

''Remember Nitro Warrior's effect...'' Sora responded to him as Frederick looked back at Nitro Warrior and then he remembered.

''Battle ! Nitro Warrior attacks D/D/D Flame King Genghis ! Due to its effect, its ATK will raise by 1000 until the end of its attack since I activated a Spell this turn ! Dynamite Crunch !''

(Nitro Warrior : 2800-3800 ATK)

Nitro Warrior charged against the Fusion king which barely managed to defend himself as it was destroyed.

Declan : 5600-3800 LP Hand : 4

(Nitro Warrior : 3800-2800 ATK)

''Nitro Warrior's second effect activates ! When it destroys a Monster in battle, I can switch one Monster you control into Attack Position and attack it again with Nitro Warrior ! Dynamite Crunch!''

I told him as Alexander was forced into Attack Position.

(D/D/D Gust King Alexander : 2000 DEF 2500 ATK)

''So that's why he used A/D Changer's effect ?'' Declan got his answer.

''Go, Nitro Warrior !'' I ordered the green Warrior who jumped at Alexander, completely pulverizing this latter.

Declan: 3800-3500 LP Hand : 4

''Junk Destroyer attacks Wave King Caesar ! Fist of Ferocity!'' Junk Destroyer fired his fists at Caesar. Just before exploding it, I saw Caesar using an Overlay Unit, preparing to use his effect after the Battle Phase. Declan started to look for an Action Card.

Declan: 3500-3300 LP Hand : 4

''Road Warrior ! Direct Attack ! Lightning Claw !''

Road Warrior jumped at Reiji and stroke him, making this latter flying. However, I saw that he got an Action Card in hand.

Declan: 3300-300 LP Hand : 5

''Alright !'' The You Show gang jumped in excitement.

''I can't believe he actually managed to destroy all of Declan's Monsters and deal him massive damage !'' Kit exclaimed.

''Action Spell : Damage Draw.'' The attention was turned back to Declan''If I take 2000 or more Battle Damage, I can draw two cards from my Deck !'' He declared as he drew twice.

The smoke that were still on the field when Junk Destroyer exploded Caesar, and to all the spectators' surprise, all of Declan's Monsters were still there.

(D/D/D Gust King Alexander : 2500 ATK)

(D/D/D Flame King Genghis : 2000 ATK)

(D/D/D Wave King Caesar : 2400 ATK/ORU : 0)

''What ! They are still there ?'' Yuya exclaimed in shock.

''But I clearly saw Yusei destroying all of them, how is that possible ?'' Zuzu asked.

''Let me guess...'' I began to speak with Declan. ''It has something to do with the fact Caesar used an Overlay Unit before it got destroyed by Junk Destroyer, isn't it ?'' I asked him.

''You are quite observant.'' Declan complimented with a smile. ''Yes, it is right. I used one of Caesar's Overlay Units to activate its effect. After the end of the Battle Phase, Caesar Special Summons all Monsters from my Graveyard that were destroyed this turn. However, during the next Standby Phase, I must 1000 points of damage for each revived Monster if they are still on the field.'' He explained while straightening his glasses.

''1000 points of damage for every Monster that was revived ?'' Tate stated Frederick tried to count how much damage Declan will take.

''That makes 3000, so that means he will lose on his next turn !'' He exclaimed.

''Don't get your hopes up, there is no way a Duelist like him would be taken down by his own card effects.'' Sora explained.

''I activate the Trap D/D/D Human Ressources !'' Declan lifted one of his Set cards. ''I can return three D/D/D Monsters to my Deck and add two D/D Monsters to my hand.'' He said as his three Monster vanished while he added two new D/D cards to his hand.

''See ? Now he won't take damage from his Monster's effect.'' Sora talked to the kids.

''I Set two cards and end my turn.'' I concluded. ''Not bad Declan Akaba. You resurrected your Monsters which allowed to got a hand refreshment, not bad.''

''I thank you. You are also an opponent worthy of being praised. It seems that you are a true master when it comes of Synchro Summoning.'' He calmly spoke. ''However, it's now time you face a power stronger than Fusion, Synchro and Xyz Summoning !'' He strongly declared which made the spectators flinched.

''What do you mean ?'' I asked him, faking the fact that he didn't know what he talked about.

''You will now see. My turn !'' He declared while drawing as his scarf made a 'law of gravity defying movement'. How the hell can it do that ? This not even a windy day !

''I, using the Scale 1 D/D Magical Savant Galilei and Scale 10 D/D Magical Savant Kepler, Set the Pendulum Scale !'' He held two cards and placed them on the two extremities of his Duel Disk with the word ''PENDULUM'' appearing on the center of his Disk. Afterwards, two robot creatures were elevated in two columns of light.

''WHAT ?!'' Yuya exclaimed in disbelief.

''Those are...'' Zuzu muttered in shock.

''Pendulum Cards !'' Gong finished in the same state.

''With this, I can Summon as many Monsters from Level 2 to 9 as I want !'' Declan yelled. ''Great power that shakes my very soul, arise within me and become a new light that rends the darkness. Pendulum Summon ! Come before me, my monsters !''

A portal opened above Declan and from it came four silhouettes.

''The three transcendental deities who rule over all kings ! D/D/D Doom King Armageddon !''

The first three Monsters were giant robots with purples crystal inside them and glowing red eyes who were in Attack Position.

(3x D/D/D Doom King Armageddon/Level 8/3000 ATK/1000 DEF/Demon/Pendulum/DARK/PS : 4)

''And the supreme deity that passes judgement upon the twilight of gods! D/D/D Destruction King Abyss Ragnarok !''

The last Monster was a black king sitting in a black throne with also glowing red eyes, also in Attack Position.

(D/D/D Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok/Level 8/2200 ATK/3000 DEF/Demon/Pendulum/DARK/PS : 5)

''He Summoned four Monsters ?'' Sora stared at Declan's Monsters. ''And three with 3000 ATK nonetheless.

The rest of the spectators were still in shock, Yuya in particular. Having to witness someone other than himself capable of Pendulum Summoning. While Declan's mother only smile in glee that the Pendulum Cards were perfectly working.

''To think he is able of Pendulum Summoning.'' Skip said in the control room. ''How much power does Declan Akaba have ?''

''When D/D/D Abyss Ragnarok is Normal or Special Summoned, I can Special Summon a D/D/D Monster resting in my Graveyard ! Come back to life, King d'Arc !''

Declan's Ragnarok opened a portal to which King d'Arc passed through it.

(D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc : 2800 ATK)

''He also resurrected his Fusion Monster ?!'' Yuya exclaimed in shock.

''He now has five Monsters !'' Zuzu was panacking.

''Do not panic. Even if he has a full field, Yusei can still use Forceful Stop to prevent Reiji from attacking.'' Gong tried to reassure his friends. However, he talked too fast.

''I now take my Level 8 Hell King Armageddon and Level 8 Abyss Ragnarok to build the Overlay Network !'' He declared as his two Monster turned into dark energy.

''What ?! A Xyz Summon from a Pendulum Summon ?!'' Yuya exclaimed in shock.

''Unbelievable !'' Gong stated.

''He already understand that he can use Pendulum Summon for other Summoning methods ? Not good for me...'' I thought as the Monsters Declan overlaid joined the Overlay Network.

''When two suns rise, the horizon of a new world shall open up ! Xyz Summon ! Appear and come forth, Rank 8 ! D/D/D Twin Dawn King Kali Yuga !''

A Monster with blue skin, a hood, yellow eyes and two purple Overlay Units flying around it which laughed like a maniac was Summoned.

(D/D/D Duo Dawn King Kali Yuga/Rank 8/3500 ATK/3000 DEF/Demon/Xyz/DARK/ORU : 2)

''3500 ATK ?!'' Zuzu exclaimed in shock.

''When Kali Yuga is Special Summoned, the effects of all cards on the field besides itself are negated until the end of this turn!'' Declan declared as Forceful Stop turned into gray.

''Oh no ! This means Yusei can't stop Declan's attacks this turn !'' Tate yelled in worry.

''This is bad !'' Yuya added.

''Battle ! Kali Yuga attacks Road Warrior ! Twin Break Shot !''

Declan's Xyz Monster fired two electric shots which took down Road Warrior and depleted some of my Life.

Yusei : 4000-3500 LP Hand : 2

''My two Doom King Armageddon's attack Nitro Warrior and Junk Destroyer !'' He then ordered his two Ace to shoot multiples blasts which my two remaining Monsters couldn't resist as they succumbed.

Yusei : 3500-3300-2900 LP Hand : 2

''And finally Oracle King d'Arc attacks Yusei directly ! Oracle Charge !''

The last Monster on Declan's field jumped on me and slashed me with her sword, which sent flying before I fell on the ground.

''ARGH !'' Was the sound I released when I got hit.

Yusei : 2900-100 LP Hand : 2

''He managed to take down all of Yusei's Warriors !'' Frederick couldn't believe it.

''And reduced his Life to 100 !'' Allie continued in worry.

''The situation is now reversed !'' Tate finished.

''I Set one card and end my turn.'' Declan concluded.

I had some problems to get up but I was still somehow able to stand up.

''He got me by surprise by Summoning Kali Yuga. Declan evolved faster than he did in the Anime, but I need to work around that.''

I then prepared to draw. ''My turn !'' I checked the card I drew

''I activate Card of Adversity ! This card, when I don't have any Monsters on the field but my opponent has a Special Summoned on their field, allows me to draw two cards from my Deck !'' I ripped the two cards above my Deck.

''Junk Synchron ? Good. I Special Summon Unknown Synchron ! This card, when my opponent controls a Monster but I don't, can be Special Summoned from my hand !''

I summoned a Monster looking like a ball of metal with an eye on the middle.

(Unknown Synchron/Level 1/0 ATK/0 DEF/Machine/Tuner/DARK)

''Then I activate a Trap ! Descending Lost Star ! I Special Summon a Monster from my Graveyard in Defense Position ! Revive, Junk Destroyer !''

My Warrior with two pairs of arms resurrected in a Defensive state.

''Due to Descending Lost Star's effect, the Synchro Monster revived by this card loses all of its DEF points and effects. It can't change Battle Position and its Level is reduced by 1 !'' I explained the other effects of my Trap.

(Junk Destroyer/Level 8 7/2600 ATK/2500-0 DEF/Warrior/Synchro/EARTH)

''I tune my now Level 7 Junk Destroyer to my Level 1 Unknown Synchron !''

''Clustering wishes will become a new shining star ! Become the path that lights the way !''

(7 + 1 = 8)

''Synchro Summon ! Take flight, Stardust Dragon !'' My ace Monster appeared in Defense Position.

(Stardust Dragon/Level 8/2500 ATK/2000 DEF/Dragon/Synchro/WIND)

''Here it is ! Yusei's ace !''

''However he Summoned it in Defense Position.'' Sora remarked while trying to figure my plan. ''That means he doesn't plan to attack with it. What are you planning to do, Yusei ?'' He muttered.

''So it's your Ace Monster huh ?'' Declan commented. ''I must admit that I find it impressive.''

''Thank you but unfortunately, I didn't Summon it to attack you.'' I revealed. ''Trap Card open ! Star Siphon ! When a Synchro Monster is Special Summoned onto the field, I can target it and Special Summon a Siphon Token to my field !''

My Trap took the shape of a little plant like Token Monster which appeared on my field.

(Siphon Token/Level 1/0 ATK/0 DEF/Spellcaster/Token/DARK)

''Due to Star Siphon's effect, the Level of the targeted Synchro Monster drops to 1 while the Siphon Token gains its Level !'' I explained as the Token and Stardust switched their Levels.

(Stardust Dragon : Level 8 1)

(Siphon Token : Level 1 8)

''Then I activate Advance Draw ! I release a Level 8 or higher Monster on my field to draw two cards !'' I released my Siphon Token which allowed to get two new cards.

''I Summon the Tuner Monster Junk Synchron !''

My little orange Tuner Monster was called on my field.

(Junk Synchron/Level 3/1300 ATK/500 DEF/Warrior/Tuner/DARK)

''When Junk Synchron is Summoned successfully, I can Special Summon a Level 2 or lower from my Graveyard ! Revive, Speed Warrior !''

My robotic warrior revived in Defense Position.

(Speed Warrior/Level 2/900 ATK/400 DEF/Warrior/WIND)

''Level 3 Junk Synchron tunes Level 2 Speed Warrior !'' I tuned my two new Monsters together.

''The stars come together to call forth a new power ! Become the path that lights the way !''

(3 + 2 = 5)

''Synchro Summon ! Come, Junk Warrior !''

One other of my favorite Monster appeared to my field in Attack Position this time.

(Junk Warrior/Level 5/2300 ATK/1300 DEF/Warrior/Synchro/DARK)

''First Stardust and now Junk Warrior.'' Gong noted. ''Yusei now plays his most trusted Monsters.''

''When Junk Warrior is Synchro Summoned, it gains the ATK of all my Level 2 or lower Monsters on the field !'' I declared ''Since the now Level 1 Stardust Dragon is the only one that fulfills that condition, its ATK will be added to Junk Warrior ! Power of Fellows !''

(Junk Warrior : 2300-4800 ATK)

''4800 ATK ?!'' Everyone except me and Declan were surprised at the amount of ATK that Junk Warrior just gained.

''That's a pretty nice combo reducing Stardust's Level to 1 to allow Junk Warrior to gain that much ATK.'' Sora commented

''Now if he attacks any of Declan's Monsters with Junk Warrior, he will deal enough damage to beat Declan !'' Yuya exclaimed

''Go, Junk Warrior ! Attack King d'Arc ! Scrap Fist !''

Junk Warrior charged his way to Declan's Fusion Demon, preparing to deal the finishing blow.

''Trap card open : Contract with the Warden. When my opponent declares an attack, I can remove from play a D/D and a D/D/D Monster from my Graveyard whose combined ATK are equal to the attacking Monster original's ATK to prevent my Monsters from being destroyed and to negate the damage I take this turn. I remove D/D/D Flame King Genghis and D/D Night Howl !'' He declared as King d'Arc was protected by a metallic bar and I gritted my teeth in frustration.

''He stopped that ?'' Frederick asked in disbelief.

''Great. My attempt failed. Well, at least now I have to what stop his attacks. I Set three cards and end my turn !'' I placed the last cards in my hand to my field.

''My turn !'' Declan declared while drawing.

''Due to the Pendulum effects of Galilei and Kepler, their Scales are raised and lowered by 2 respectively.'' He declared as the numbers under his Pendulum Cards were swapped to 3 and 8.

''Due to Contract with the Warden having been activated, I take 1000 points of damage during my Standby Phase, however, King d'Arc changes that into Life Points ! Life Elation !'' He said as he again used his female demon healing effect.

''I will first get rid of Forceful Stop ! Kali Yuga's effect activates ! By using an Overlay Unit, all Spell and Trap cards on the field are destroyed !'' Reiji removed one of Kali Yuga's orbs as he began to create a tornado to whip out our backrows !''

''What ? But that means Yusei will lose Forceful Stop ! He won't be able to stop any of Declan's attacks !'' Yuya exclaimed in shock.

''Stardust Dragon's effect activates ! Victim Sanctuary !'' I pointed my Stardust which turned into particles as Kali Yuga stopped his tornado and was wiped out.

''What ?!'' Declan was in surprise. ''What happened ?'' The spectators also wondered the same question.

''Stardust Dragon can release itself to negate a card destruction effect and destroy your card. Then during the End Phase of a turn this effect is used, Stardust Dragon is Special Summoned back from the Graveyard.'' I explained calmly to Declan.

''With that, that means he protected Forceful Stop.'' Gong stated.

''I see. It sacrifices itself to save his friends. However, at this moment, the effects of my Hell Armageddon activate ! When a Monster leaves my field, Armageddon gains ATK equal to the original ATK of my Monster.'' He declared as the Armageddons became more powerful.

(2x D/D/D Doom King Armageddon : 3000-6500 ATK)

''6500 ATK ?!'' Zuzu was in shock.

''Well, it's okay. Now that Kali Yuga is gone, Yusei can use Forceful Stop again.'' Yuya tried to relativize.

''Then using my Pendulum Scale, I can Special Summon Level 4 to Level 7 Monsters ! Come before me, my Monster !'' He declared as a new Monster was Pendulum Summoned onto his field.

''Come forth, demonic ruthless dragon lord ! D/D/D Dragon King Overlord Pendragon !''

A huge black bipedal dragon with a humanoid body but giant wings a long tail with a spiky armor appeared.

(D/D/D Dragon King Overlord Pendragon/Level 7/2600 ATK/2400 DEF/Demon/DARK)

''Oh, I don't like the look of that dragon.'' I thought a little troubled looking at it.

''D/D/D Pendragon's effect activates !'' Reiji declared as he grabbed an Action Card and discarded it at the same time. ''By discarding a card, this Monster gains 500 ATK and can destroy one Spell or Trap Card on the field ! I destroy Forceful Stop !'' He said as he finally destroyed my Trap.

''This is bad ! Now Forceful Stop is gone !'' Allie yelled.

''This the end ! D/D/D Hell King Armageddon attacks Junk Warrior !'' He declared as his Ace fired at Junk Warrior.

''YUSEI !'' Was the exclamation of all You Show students.

''Trap activate ! Jump Guard ! During the turn a Monster left the field by a card effect, I can reduce all Battle Damage I take this turn to 0 !'' I said as a shield circled me.

''Even so, I'll still destroy your Junk Warrior !'' Declan exclaimed while the attack continued.

''I activate a Continuous Trap : Enduring Soul ! It negates the destruction in battle of my Attack Position Monster !'' I said as a screen before Junk Warrior stopped the impact of its attack.

''However, every time Enduring Soul's effect protects a Monster, it lowers its ATK by 800 !'' I added.

(Junk Warrior : 4800-4000 ATK)

''Then I attack with my second Hell Armageddon !'' Declan continued his assault to weaken Junk Warrior as his second Armageddon fired multiple blasts at its turn Junk Warrior was still shielded.

(Junk Warrior : 4000-3200 ATK)

''Action Spell !'' I saw Declan getting an Action Card. ''Encore ! I remove from play an Action Card from my Graveyard and copy its effects ! I copy Extreme Sword to raise Pendragon's ATK by 1000 !''

Pendragon grew stronger.

(D/D/D Dragon King Overworld Pendragon : 3100-4100 ATK)

''Great...'' I sarcastically replied.

''Go, Pendragon !'' The dragon fired a huge breath of fire at Junk Warrior who was still protected.

(Junk Warrior : 3200-2400 ATK)

''The last attack ! Go, King d'Arc ! Oracle Charge !'' He ordered his Fusion Demon to attack. She tried to slice Junk Warrior but it still resisted.

(Junk Warrior : 2400-1600 ATK)

''Oh. Junk Warrior almost lose all its ATK points.'' Allie complained.

''I Set two cards and end my turn.'' Declan concluded.

''During this End Phase, Stardust revives by its effect !'' I said I took Stardust's card from my Graveyard and replaced it in Defense Position.

(Stardust Dragon : 2000 DEF)

''Isn't Yusei in a very bad situation ?'' Tate wondered.

''He kind of is. He has no cards in hand and he will lose if he don't change Junk Warrior in Defense Position. But if he does so, he won't be able to use Enduring Soul's effect.'' Sora explained while grunting.

''Yusei...'' Yuya and Zuzu muttered in worry.

''My tur...''

As I was starting my turn, I then felt a huge pain in my head.

''AH !'' I then held my head with my hand to try to bare this sudden headache with my eyes closed.

''Guys what happens with Yusei ?!'' Frederick asked in worry at seeing me suffer while the others were surprised as well.

Yusei's mindscape

As I opened my eyes again, I saw that I was no longer in You Show, but in a place way less colorful...

''What ?'' I said in surprise of where I arrived. I walked a little to see the place.

It was a huge mess. It looked like Maiami City but completely destroyed. I saw the LDS logo of its tower on the ground. There were lots of crack on the ground. The sky was completely covered with dark gray clouds. I was horrified at the state of the city. What the hell happened ? I rubbed my eyes to check if what I currently saw was real but to my surprise I was even no longer in Maiami City. This time, it was Neo Domino City in the Synchro Dimension. And boy, this place didn't look better. The stadium where the Friendship Cup takes place was obliterated as well as its multiples roads and bridges.

''Who did that ?'' I asked enraged to no one in particular. ''Was that Duel Academy?''

But as it was answering my answer, a light blinded me and once it calmed down, I was this time at Heartland City in the Xyz Dimension. I didn't know it was possible but this place looked even worse when Academia first invaded this place. There wasn't even a single building standing and I saw some kind of thing under one of the debris in this place. I removed the debris only to see it was a skeleton. I quickly backed away in horror.

''This can't be Academia... they only carded the residents of this Dimension. They weren't in any case ordered to kill.'' I thought.

Then the light appeared, blinding me once more and this time I realized I was at Academia once I could open my eyes. It was no different than what happened in the other Dimensions. The school was in a state of chaos, the city beneath it was as well. I explored the school looking for a life form and I arrived before the throne room where the Arc-V Reactor dwell. I checked it only to see the Reactor completely lifeless. The green energy that was in it was inexistent and the glass protecting it was shattered.

As seeing all of this, something awakened in my mind. The memory of an explosion which occurred in the past and went to all speed in my mind. Then my headache arose again.

''STOP ! STOP THIS !'' I yelled as it was too much for me to take.

End of mindscape

As the pain disappeared, I was back at You Show.

''Yusei ? Is it alright ?''

I looked up only to see Reiji with a questioning face while everyone from You Show were looking at me with a look of worry.

''Um yeah. Sorry.'' I said regaining my composure. '''Well, let's make a quick recap. I only have Stardust Dragon and Junk Warrior on my field and he has four kings stronger than my two Monsters. Enduring Soul's effect will no longer help if I swap my Monsters in Defense, so the only chance I have is to draw a good card or else I lose.'' I said preparing to draw.

However, before I did so, I felt something on my right arm, some kind of small burning sensation. I looked at it only to see a glowing red tattoo representing the head of a dragon on my arm.

''This is... !'' I thought bewildered before seeing that my top Deck was shining.

''Moment of truth...'' I closed my eyes and took a small breath ''Draw !''

I opened my eyes to check the card I drew, and was very surprised at seeing it. Then I regained my serious composure and decided to end the Duel.

Insert Yusei's theme

''Continuous Trap activate ! Angel Lift ! I Special Summon a Level 2 or lower Monster from my Graveyard ! Revive, Tuning Supporter !'' I declared as I took Tuning Supporter card from the Graveyard and placed it in my Monster Zone.

(Tuning Supporter/Level 1/100 ATK/300 DEF/Machine/LIGHT)

''Next I Summon Majestic Dragon !''

I then Summoned a pink shining little dragon.

(Majestic Dragon/Level 1/0 ATK/0 DEF/Dragon/Tuner/LIGHT)

''Majestic Dragon ?'' Declan asked.

''I tune my Level 8 Stardust Dragon and my Level 1 Tuning Supporter to my Level 1 majestic  Dragon !'' I declared as Majestic Dragon turned into a giant ghost version of itself as Stardust and Tuning Supporter came inside of it.

''Gathering starlights will enlighten a new miracle ! Become the path that lights the way !''

(8 + 1 + 1 = 10)

''Synchro Summon ! Arrive in light, Majestic Star Dragon !''

A shining dragon that resembled Stardust but with more wings and a more blueish skin made himself a place into my field.

(Majestic Star Dragon/Level 10/3800 ATK/3000 DEF/Dragon/Synchro/WIND)

''Majestic Star Dragon...'' Yuya stuttered amazed.

''Amazing...'' Zuzu stated as she and the rest if spectators, even Declan were in pure trance.

''Due to Tuning Supporter being used as a Synchro Material, I draw one card.'' I drew a card. ''Then Majestic Star Dragon's effect activates ! I can negate the effect of one Monster you control until the End Phase and the negated effect can be activated through Savior Star ! Sublimation Drain !'' I exclaimed as I pointed Declan's new Monster.

''I chose to negate Pendragon Monster's effect and I activate it right away ! I discard one card and Majestic Star Dragon gains 500 ATK and can destroy one Spell/Trap on your field ! I destroy this Set card !'' I destroyed one of his Set cards, which raised Savior Star's ATK.

(Majestic Star Dragon : 3800-4300 ATK)

''Battle ! Majestic Star Dragon attacks D/D/D Dragon King Overworld Pendragon ! Shooting Blaster Sonic !'' Majestic Star Dragon rushed against the demonic dragon but Declan didn't want to make the task easier.

''I'm afraid you should have targeted my other Set card. Continuous Trap activate ! D/D/D Shift ! Once per turn, if my D/D/D Monster is attacked, I can switch the target to another D/D/D Monster on my field, then the new target gains ATK equal to half of the previous attacked D/D/D Monster until the end of Damage Step. I switch the target to D/D/D Hell Armageddon !''

Majestic Star Dragon's course was then switched on one of Declan's Armageddon while the latter got its ATK increased.

(D/D/D Doom King Armageddon : 3000-4300 ATK)

''Oh no, They both have the same ATK ! He won't be able to beat Declan!'' Tate stated while the You Show gang were in extreme worry.

''Majestic Star Dragon other effect activates ! By releasing this card, it negates the activation of your Spell, Trap or Monster's effect and then every card you control is destroyed !''

''WHAT ?!'' This time, Declan was totally taken aback. Same can be said about the spectators.

''Stardust Force !'' I announced while Savior Star split itself into seven ghostly versions of itself before slashing Declan's four Monsters, the Trap he just activated and the cards in his Pendulum Zones, all of them being then destroyed.

''Impossible...'' Declan muttered. He still couldn't believe it.

''With Reiji's field completely empty and him having 1300 LP, that means... !'' Yuya exclaimed while looking at the Synchro Monster still on my field.

''Go, Junk Warrior ! Direct Attack ! Scrap Fist !''

Junk Warrior charged at Declan with his Scrap Fist prepared to deal the finishing blow. Declan spotted an Action Card but didn't have time to react as he took Junk Warrior's punch, sending him flying.

Declan : 1300-0 LP Hand : 0

Yusei : WINNER !

At this moment, no one dared to say anything, until...

''HE WON !'' Everyone from You Show yelled in joy.

''Declan... lost...?'' Himika uttered in shock. She absolutely didn't think it will come out to this.

''He... beat him after all ?'' The LDS trio stuttered.

''And that is... that.'' I said with difficulty as tiredness got the best of me and I slowly fell on my knees, then on my side. I was still awake as the You Show's group rushed to me.
