Chapter 17: The begging of an Invasion.

A day has passed since Ash's duel against Flare, got a warning from Declan about Duel Academy invading the Standard dimension soon. He has woken up early, prepared breakfast for the girls, took a shower, changed into his black clothes, had breakfast with the girls, before he teleported the girls in separate areas of Paradise city.

At the stadium, Ash, along with Yuya, Zuzu, Krystal, and all the other competitors, expect Shay were standing with each other in the Dueling field, waiting for the Battle Royale to begin at this point. Declan told the hole stadium that the final rounds of the Championship would be a Battle Royale, with the Battle Royale taking place across the city with the whole city being 4 different Action fields, with the audience watching the screen for the Duels. Ash also had a brief flashback about had he sent Pikachu, Litten, and Rowlet back to the Pokemon World. Ash closed his eyes as he thought about his decision to leave them in the Pokemon World.

(Flashback)

Ash has arrived in Pallet Town, with Pikachu in front of him at the Professor Oak's Lab backyard. Soon, he got his Pokeballs that contain Litten and Rowlet and release them. Litten and Rowlet appeared, before they looked around, then notice their new surroundings, then notice Ash in his Pokemon body again, who had a sad smile. "Guys, I'm going to leave you guys here for a while." Ash said with a sad tone, confusing his Pokemon at his explanation. Pikachu, Litten, and Rowlet look confuse, then Ash gave them a sorrowful smile. "Listen, there is going to be a war coming from the other world soon, and I don't want you guys getting cross in the line of battle." Ash said, getting sad looks of understanding, even if they don't like it. "Trust me, it's for the best for you guys." Ash said to his Pokemon, wanting to keep them safe and away from Duel Academy.

Pikachu step forward to go with him, but Ash held his right hand in front of him to stop him. "Pikachu, I especially don't want you to come with me. I want you to promise me something, Pikachu." Ash said to his partner, getting his starter to Pokemon to pay close attention. "Promise me that you and the others will stay here until I get back." Ash said as he asked his partner to stay in Pallet town with the other Pokemon. "Pika." Pikachu said, nodding his head with tears in his eyes, along with Litten and Rowlet having tears as well. Ash then gave them all a hug, which the Pokemon returned, then let them go. Soon, a crimson portal appears behind Ash, acting as an entrance to the other world. "Be good, Buddy, I love you all and hope you stay safe and out of trouble." Ash said as his Pokemon look on as they see their trainer enter the portal, with tears falling from his left eye, with the Pokemon hoping he comes back soon.

(Flashback End)

Ash then open his eyes as he finished his flashback, then look at his Yuya, Zuzu, and Krystal, along with the other participants. ''After all, the plan is that me and the girls already had a plan that involves the girls already in the city, preparing for the attack of Duel Academy to happen as well. Not to mention, Saya is with Lulu for the matter, making sure she is safe from harm and giving Lulu back up, meaning they are prepared to fight''. Ash thought as well about the plan made by him, Lulu, Celina, and Rin about what to do. Ash told Declan about the plan when he arrived at the stadium, and Declan gave the ok to the plan, with the Youth group helping out when Duel Academy shows up.

Ash then decided to give his friends a little heads up for the future, as he turned his head right to look at them. "Yuya, Zuzu." Ash said to his friends with his hands crossed, getting them to look at him. "Yes Ash?" Yuya asked his friend in confusion at why he sounds serious. "Is there something wrong?" Zuzu asked in concern for her boyfriend, knowing that he only talks serious when something is about to happen. "Just want to let you guys know, keep your guards up for what's about to come." Ash warned his friends with his eyes narrowed, getting Yuya and Zuzu confused then look at each other, wondering what Ash means by that.

Ash then looked at Krystal next, also wanting to warn her as well. Krystal was wearing her normal outfit, with her Duel Disk on as well. "Krystal, you should to the same, and make sure to watch the other competitors as well." Ash warned Krystal, getting her confused as well as she flicked a stray of her hair away from her face, knowing that the others don't stand a chance against Duel Academy at their current strength that they are now, expect for Moon Shadow and Sun Shadow. Soon, Nico shouted out for the battle Royal to begin, along with a bell was heard, along with everyone running out of the stadium to start the Battle Royale, along with Ash staying close to Zuzu, making sure she is safe from Duel Academy and that nothing happens to her. Ash couldn't protect Lulu, Rin or Celina in the past, but he will protect Zuzu, that he swears. The Battle Royale of the Final Round has begun, and only a select few knew the real truth of the Battle Royale.

(Opening song end)

Ash and Zuzu have been walking together now for 10 minutes, looking for Pendulum cards that are needed to Duel in the battle Royal. Ash has already found 1 Pendulum card, while Zuzu hasn't. They were in the Ice Action field with both teens not feeling any cold at all. Right now, Ash was walking behind Zuzu as they continued to look for Pendulum Cards. However, Zuzu then looked at her boyfriend. "Ash. Not that I don't like your company, but I think we should split up now''. Zuzu said to her boyfriend, thinking they should split up now. Ash looked at Zuzu, still not thinking it was a good idea to leave her alone. "Alright, but be careful okay''. Ash said to his girlfriend, telling her to be careful, which Zuzu nodded to, before Ash started heading towards the Lava Action field, going to check on Lulu and Saya.

However, on the way there, Ash found another Action card in the ice and melted it off with his powers, giving him a total of two Pendulum cards now and able to Duel now. "Seems like you have enough Pendulum cards now''. Ash heard a voice from behind him, causing Ash to turn around to see Krystal walking up to him with her Duel Blade activated. "You've been following me this whole time, haven't you''. Ash said to Krystal as he held his activated Duel Disk in front of him, with Krystal nodding to his question with a smirk. "I have 2 Pendulum cards as well, now I can Duel you and see myself how strong you are''. Krystal said as she has been wanting to Duel against Ash for a while now. "Bring it!''. Ash called out to Krystal, really for a warm up Duel, so he would be prepared against Duel Academy.

"Duel!''. Both Ash and Krystal shouted out as they both drawled the top five cards from their decks.

Ash Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.

Krystal Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.

"The First move is mine!''. Krystal said as she took a card from her hand and held it between her right hand's index and middle fingers. "I'll start off by summoning Ice Witch - Spell Crystal!''. Krystal called out as she placed the card on her Duel Blade, with Spell Crystal appearing on her field in front of her.

Ice Witch - Spell Crystal ATK Points: 1600.

"I activate Spell Crystal's effect! Now I can summon another Ice Witch monster from my hand or deck!''. Krystal said as she activated her monster's effect, which Spell Crystal used her wand to create a portal. "I don't think so! I play Light Blue Wing's effect from my hand! Now your monster's effect is negated and I can summon him from my hand!''. Ash called out as he held his card in his right hand's index and middle fingers, before he placed the card on his Duel Blade with the portal created by Spell Crystal turning light blue, before Light Blue Wings came out and flew towards Ash, before he turned around and glared at Krystal's ice witch.

White Dragon - Light Blue Wing ATK Points: 1900.

Krystal granted her teeth for a second, before she smirked. "Nice move. I'll end my turn with a face down card!''. Krystal called out as she slotted two cards into her Duel Disk, with two face down cards appearing on her field.

Ash Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

"Here I go, Krystal!''. Ash called out with a smirk as he drawled his card from his deck. "I summon White Dragon - Skylight!''. Ash called out as he placed the card on his Duel Blade, with Skylight appearing on his field.

White Dragon - Skylight ATK Points: 1400.

"I activate his effect! When Skylight is summoned, I can summon another White Dragon Monster so come out White Dragon - Lancer''. Ash called out as Skylight's wings glowed, before Lancer came out, roaring as he appeared.

White Dragon - Lancer ATK Points: 1800.

"Now I activate the Spell card White Calling!''. Ash called out as he slotted the spell card into his Duel Disk, with the spell appearing on his field.

(White Calling (Spell)

Discard a card from your hand then add one White Dragon monster from your deck to you hand.)

"With this spell's effect, I discard White Dragon - Vanguard to add White Dragon - Zenith from my deck!''. Ash called out as he explained his Spell's effect, with the card glowing as Vanguard's card was sent inside of the spell, with Zenith's card coming out and went to Ash's hand. "I play double summon and use its effect to summon Zenith from my hand!''. Ash called out as he slotted the spell into his Duel Disk, before he placed Zenith's card on the Duel Blade with Zenith appearing on his field.

White Dragon - Zenith ATK Points: 1600.

"I play Zenith's effect! Now I can summon Vanguard from the graveyard!''. Ash called out as he explained his monster's effect, with Zenith's wings spreading open, before Vanguard came out, flying next to all his dragons' brothers.

White Dragon - Vanguard ATK Points: 800.

"Now Skylight gives Vanguard a Tune up!''. Ash called out as his two dragons took flight, with Skylight turning into 3 green rings that went around Vanguard. Vanguard turn orange, before he turned into four lights. "I Synchro Summon! White Dragon - Green Synchro Dragon!''. Ash called out as his extra deck open with a card slotting out, with Ash grabbing and slamming it on his Duel Blade, with a beam appearing that consumed the lights and rings, before Green Synchro Dragon came out, roaring as he appeared.

White Dragon - Green Synchro Dragon ATK Points: 2500.

Krystal looked at Green Synchro Dragon with an impressed look. "Nice Dragon! I must admit that I'm impressed!''. Krystal said as she was really impressed with Ash's Dueling style. "You aren't seen nothing yet! I overlay Level 4 Zenith and Lancer!''. Ash called out as he held his right hand into the sky as both Zenith and Lancer turned into two white lights that descend into the air, with a black portal appearing in front of Ash, making his jacket, scarf and Krystal's hair blow in the breeze with the two lights going in with White lighting coming out. "I Xyz Summon! White Dragon - Black Xyz Dragon!''. Ash called out as Black Xyz Dragon appeared from the portal, roaring as he appeared with two overlay units around him.

White Dragon - Black Xyz Dragon ATK Points: 2500.

"Black Xyz Dragon Attacks Spell Crystal!''. Ash called out as he pointed at Spell Crystal, with Black Xyz Dragon's fangs flashing with black electricity as he charged and pierced past Spell Crystal, who yelled out in pain, before she exploded. (2500 - 1600 = 900)

Krystal Life Points: 4000 - 900 = 3100.

"Green Synchro Dragon now attacks you directly!''. Ash called out as Green Synchro started to charge towards Krystal. Krystal smirked at Ash, before she picked a card from her hand and held it between her right hand's index and middle fingers. "I activate Ice Witch - Reflect Mirror's effect from my hand!''. Krystal called out as she placed the card on her Duel Blade, with a 14-year-old girl with White Long Hair, light blue eyes, white skin, wearing a Light Blue Bra, Blue Skirt, Long Light Blue Socks, Blue High heels, an open Blue Witch cloak, a Blue Witch hat, Blue Fingerless gloves, a Blue Wand in her left hand and a reflect mirror on the back of her right glove.

(Ice Witch - Reflect Mirror/ Level: 7/ Type: Spellcaster/ Effect/ Attribute: Water/ ATK Points: 500/ DEF Points: 500/ Effect: You can only special summon this card from your hand. If your opponent declares a direct attack, you can special summon this card from your hand and negate the attack. This card gains ATK and DEF Points double the attacking Monster's ATK Points and deal damage equal to the attacking monster's ATK Points to your opponent)

"With this card, I can negate your Dragon's attack and Reflect Mirror gains ATK Points double to your Dragon's ATK Points!''. Krystal called out as she explained her monster's effect, with Green Synchro Dragon's attack slamming into the mirror on Mirror's glove. Ash looked surprised, before he smirked. "Nice move! Except I activate my Dragon's effect! When a Level 5 or higher monster's effect activates, My Dragon can negate and destroy that effect and gains ATK Points equal to the destroyed monster's ATK Points and I gain the same Life Points!''. Ash called out as he held his right hand out, explaining his Dragon's effect, making Krystal widen her eyes in shock. "White Draconic reflect!''. Ash called out as his Dragon's wings glowed, before energy shoot out and destroyed Reflect Mirror, who screamed in pain with energy being absorbed by Green Synchro Dragon's Wings.

White Dragon - Green Synchro Dragon ATK Points: 2500 + 500 = 3000.

Ash Life Points: 4000 + 500 = 4500.

"Now continue what you started, Green Synchro Dragon!''. Ash called out as he pointed at Krystal, with Green Synchro Dragon roaring as he flew past Krystal, creating a shockwave that forced Krystal to use her hands to protect herself.

Krystal Life Points: 3100 - 3000 = 100.

"Now Light Blue Wing end this''. Ash called out as Light Blue Wing roared as he charged and slashed at Krystal, forcing her to use her disk to protect herself.

Krystal Life Points: 100 - 1900 = 0000.

Ash's Dragons disappeared as the Duel ended, but both Duelists' Duel Disks stay activated. Krystal collapsed to her knees, while Ash walked up to Krystal. "You really are strong. Yuya was right about you are the strongest Duellist he has ever seen''. Krystal said to Ash, as she lifted her head to look at Ash. Ash smiled at Krystal's words. "Thanks. However, you lost because you relied on your effect damage strategy to much''. Ash said to Krystal with his eyes narrowed, getting Krystal to look at him confused. "If an opponent negates your monster's effect, or seals off taking effect damage, you would be stuck. You need more styles of damaging your opponent. You need to destroy your opponent's monsters, inflect battle damage and find ways to counter their moves. If you continue to rely on effect damage, you'll never become a pro Duelist''. Ash explained to Krystal of the errors of her Dueling style, telling her that she needs a different way to duel.

Krystal's eyes widen a bit at what Ash said, before she looked down at the ice. Krystal continued to look down at the ice, before she stood up. "I'll think about what you said. Maybe it's time I change things around. Anyway, you won the Duel so here''. Krystal said as she brought out a Pendulum card and held it out for Ash, which Ash took. "Thanks. I'll see you around. Remember, stay on guard''. Ash said to Krystal with his eyes still narrowed, before he turns around and started heading towards the Lave action field, leaving Krystal there as she searched for another Pendulum card.

(5 minutes later)

It took 5 minutes for Ash to reach the Lava Action field, since he walked there instead of running or using his Roller Blade shoes. Ash walked up a stair case to reach a roof top, a place where he planned to meet up with Lulu and Saya. Soon Ash reached the top and saw Lulu and Saya at the edge of the building, looking down at something, with Lulu still wearing her new dress and Saya wearing her normal clothes. "Hey you two''. Ash greeted with a smile to his Lover and daughter, getting Lulu and Saya to turn around and smile at Ash. "Hi Satoshi/ Hi Daddy''. Both Lulu and Saya said as Saya run towards Ash, who cached her and held her in his arms, along with hugging her. Ash walked up to Lulu with Saya still in his arms, before he gave Lulu a kiss on the lips, which she returned, before Ash pulled away. "Were you two watching something''. Ash asked Lulu if she and Saya were watching something, before he arrived. Lulu nodded to Ash with a smile; before she pointed down the building, getting Ash to look down to see Yuyadueling against two Duelists from the Bandit Warrior Academy, with Yuya having any life points left. "Let's see if Yuya can escape this situation, and if not, he won't be able to handle Obelisk Force''. Ash thought to himself, seeing this as a chance to see if Yuya has what it takes to face Obelisk Force.

Ash, Lulu and Saya watch as Yuya tried to beat the two Bandit Warrior students, but was losing and was about to lose the Duel, when suddenly, someone came to join the duel, protecting Yuya with a monster effect, making Ash, Lulu and Saya see who saved Yuya, which was a red hair boy looking around the same age as Ash, wearing an orange shirt, black pants and orange shoes, making Lulu gasp in shock and surprise at who is here. Lulu's gasp caused Ash and Saya to turn towards her, wondering what is wrong. "Lulu, is something wrong?" Ash asked in concern, not seeing her like this often and why she is acting this way when she saw this new person.

"I know that guy." Lulu replied to her lover, never taking her eyes off of the Duelist named Dennis. Ash turned to look at Dennis, unsure how to react, while trying to see if he can be trust worthy or not. "Really?" Ash asked in wonder at how Lulu met this guy, never meeting him before. "Yes, I..." Lulu tried to say to her lover, before the trio witness Dennis getting shock from the penalty intrusion, who shouted out "OOOHHH NNNOOO'', causing both Ash and Lulu to sweet drop and laugh nervously at his act, while Saya laughs at this act in happiness at seeing something funny. "He hasn't change one bit." Lulu answered as she continued to laugh nervously, not believing that this is the same person she met at Heartland. "His quite the funny guy, that's for sure." Ash said to his Girlfriend, thinking that someone like Dennis couldn't be that dangerous to anyone if he acts like that. "That guy is funny." Saya answered with her eyes closed while clapping her hands. The Family then continued to watch as Dennis teamed up with Yuya and showed his Duel Taining skills, by summoning a Monster called Performage Trapeze Magician.

Ash then looked at Lulu, who was still watching the Duel. "Lulu. How did you met this guy''. Ash asked his Girlfriend at how she met Dennis, getting Lulu to look at her boyfriend. "I met Dennis in heartland. He was preforming a magic trick performance in the part. I was watching when his Trapeze Magician grabbed me and brought me to him. He challenged me to a Duel, which I accepted. The Last time I saw him was before I was captured''. Lulu said to Ash, explaining how she met Dennis, getting Ash to look back at Dennis, who ended his turn. "He was in heartland. Then how and why is he here in Standard. Did he escape the Xyz Dimension''? Ash thought to himself, wondering how Dennis came to the Standard Dimension. Soon Yuya brought out Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, getting Lulu and Saya to gasp in surprise. Soon Yuya and Dennis used their monsters effects and Duel Taining Skills to win the Duel, with Lulu and Saya looking amazed at the performance, but Ash had his eyes narrowed at Yuya.

"Yuya...his copying his dad's Dueling''. Ash thought to himself, now seeing that Yuya was copying his teacher's Dueling and Ash did not like that. Soon Yuya part ways with Dennis, with Ash seeing this as an opportunity. "Lulu, Saya. Stay here and kept watch. There's something I have to take care of''. Ash said to his Lover and Daughter, before he put Saya down. Ash then started running down the stair case, leaving Lulu and Saya there confused at Ash's sudden change.

After the Tag Duel with Dennis, Ash followed Yuya, seeing the duel results that happened. Just as Yuya is about to head somewhere else, Ash steps in front of him, confusing the boy. "Ash, what are you doing here?" Yuya asked his friend. "I saw your duel Yuya." Ash answered the boy. "You did? It must have been great, right?" Yuya said, only to notice the frown on Ash's face. "No Yuya, it wasn't great." Ash stated seriously, confusing Yuya. "What do you mean?" Yuya asked in confusion at what his friend is saying. "Yuya, your copying your father's duelling style." Ash stated, surprising Yuya at his friend's answer. "What? No, it's my style, not my father's." Yuya said, not liking where this is going one bit. "Wrong, I've already seen YushoSakaki way of duelling, and I'm disappointed that you're just living in the shadow of your father by intimidation!" Ash stated loudly, shocking Yuya in the process.

"What?! I am not imitating my father's duelling!" Yuya shouted in frustration at his friend saying that. "That's the thing! Your denning about copying your father's duelling style instead of making your own!" Ash said, wanting to show and teach his friend to make his own style instead of taking someone else's. "Making my own? What do you mean?!" Yuya asked, a bit frustrated and confuse. "I'll show you! YuyaSakaki, I challenge you to a duel!" Ash cried as he activated his Duel Disk, ready to teach his friend a lesson he will never forget. This action surprise Yuya, then narrow his eyes in determination to prove his friend wrong. "Alright! I'll prove to you that I'm not copying my father's dueling style!" Yuya replied as he also activated his Duel Disk. "Let's duel!" Yuya and Ash shouted as the duel is about to begin for the two friends/rivals.

Yuya Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.

Ash Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.

"I'll go first!" Yuya said as brought his two signature Pendulum Monsters in his fingers from his hand. "I set the Pendulum Scale with my Scale 1 Stargazer Magician and Scale 8 Timegazer Magician to the Pendulum Scale!"Yuya said as he placed his Pendulum Monsters on both ends of his Duel Blade, with the word "Pendulum'' showing across the blade. Soon, two blue pillars appeared on the field, with Stargazer and Timegazer Magician risning up from them all the way to the air. Stargazer has a 1 underneath him, while Timegazer has an 8 underneath him. Yuya Pendulum also appears between the two monsters as well. "With these two monsters, I'm allowed to summon between 2 and 7 all at the same time!" Yuya said as his pendant glowed as well for his big move.

"Swing far Pendulum, carve the arc of victory!"Yuya chanted as his pendant swung back and forth between his magicians. "My monsters are ready, to swing into action!"Yuya called out as he raised his right arm to air, just as a portal formed from his pendant. Soon, four bright colourful lights came down from the portal on to Yuya's field. "Come on out, Performapal Whip Snake!" Yuya said as his purple snake monster appears on the field before him.

Performapal Whip Snake ATK Points: 1700.

"Come forth, PerformapalSalutiger!" Yuya said as tiger in a red suit and hat also appeared, before giving a salute as well like the name.

PerformapalSalutiger ATK Points: 1700.

"And lastly, turn up the heat, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya said as his ace monster appears on the field before giving out a roar that is ready for battle.

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK Points: 2500

Ash kept his guard up as Yuya summoned three monsters out on the field. "Now for my next move, I Overlay my two Level 4 Performapal Whip Snake and PerformapalSalutiger to build the Overlay Network!" Yuya shouted as his two monsters turn into orange energy before going into a black vortex appearing on the ground. Ash also notice something about Yuya as well, now noticing Yuto's spirit form next to Yuya during the Xyz Summon. "Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those enough to fight it with its treacherous fang!" Yuya and Yuto chanted as a familar dragon appeared to form from the vortex. "Now descend! I Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon!" Yuya and Yuto finished as the dark dragon appeared from the portal, before spreading his wings and giving out a roar making his appearance on the field before landing on the field.

Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon ATK Points: 2500.

"With this, I now end my turn." Yuya and Yuto said, before Yuto disappeared from Yuya's side. Ash narrow his eyes in suspicion, having a lot on his mind when he saw Yuto appeared besides Yuya during the summoning of Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon.

Ash Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.

"I Draw!''. Ash called out as he drawled his card from his deck, before he looked at it, with his eyes widening at what he saw. Ash soon cracked a smile as he held the card out in his right hand's index and middle fingers. "I activate the Ritual Spell card, White Dragon - Yellow Dragon Ritual!"'. Ash called out as he slotted the card into his Duel Disk, with the Spell appear on his field, before a white and yellow serpent Dragon statue appeared behind Ash.

(White Dragon - Yellow Dragon Ritual/ Type: Ritual Spell/ Effect: This card can be used to Ritual summon any Ritual White Dragon Monster from your hand or deck by releasing White Dragon monsters from your field, hand or Extra deck, with the monsters from the Extra Deck being Pendulum monsters. The released monsters' levels must match the Ritual Monster's level. You can remove this card from the graveyard to add one White Dragon card from your graveyard to your hand. If the tributed monsters were Pendulum Monsters from the Extra Deck, they get sent to the graveyard)

Yuya's eyes widen in shock at what he was seeing. "A ritual spell!''. Yuya called out in shock that Ash could also Ritual summon as well. "That's right, now watch as I sacrifice White Dragon - Desolation!''. Ash called out as he held a card in his right hand's index and middle fingers as it glowed, before it disappeared with the eyes of the dragon statue started to glow Yellow, before the statue started to shake with cracks on it. "Great Dragon of Yellow! Accept this Dragon's power to break free from your stony prison! I ritual Summon! Level 8! White Dragon - Yellow Ritual Dragon!''. Ash called out as he picked a card that slotted out of his deck, with the statue exploded in a yellow flash, before a giant chines serpent Dragon flew into the air. It looked about the same size as Ash's other Dimension Dragons. It had White Skin, yellow spiky hair that reached from the back of his head all the way to the back of the tail. It had yellow glowing eyes, a slash mark over its right eye, long yellow noise hair, tail in the shape of a sword, two dragon claws and two dragon feet. The new dragon unleashed a powerful roar at Yuya, causing him to use his hands to shield himself from the shockwaves.

"I can select one Level 5 or higher monster on your field and it loses 500 ATK Points X it's Level, along with Yellow Ritual Dragon gaining 500 X the Level as well and I gain 500 Life Points X the Level!''. Ash called out as he explained his Dragon's effect, making Yuya widen his eyes at the Ritual Dragon's effect. "The only Level 5 or higher monster on the field is Odd Eyes, and his Level 7. Which means Dark Rebellion and Odd Eyes lose 3500 ATK Points, Yellow Ritual gains 3500, I gain 3500 Life Points and I get to summon a monster that's Level 7 or lower!''. Ash called out to Yuya as he explained how much ATK Points his Dragons would lose, before Ash held his right hand out, pointing at Yuya. "Yellow Thunder Drain!''. Ash called out as Yellow Ritual Dragon roared, before thunder strike Odd Eyes and Dark Rebellion, making them cry out in pain, before the thunder went to Yellow Ritual Dragon, who gained a Yellow aura around him, with Yellow Sparks raining down on Ash.

Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK Points: 2500 - 3500 = 0000.

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK Points: 2500 - 3500 = 0000.

White Dragon - Yellow Ritual Dragon ATK Points: 2800 + 3500 = 6300.

Ash Life Points: 4000 + 3500 = 7500.

"And through Yellow's effect, I can special summon Silver Pendulum from my deck''. Ash called out as a card slotted out of his deck, before Ash picked the card and placed it on his Duel Blade, with Silver Dragon appearing on his field, roaring as he appeared.

White Dragon - Silver Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK points: 2500.

Yuya looked at the filed in shock that he saw Ash made his monsters lose their ATK Points and powered up his monsters ATK Points. "Now I activate the Spell Card, Smile World!''. Ash called out as he took the card from his hand and slotted it in his Duel Disk, before the spell appeared on his field, before the field was then covered in colourful smiles, with the monsters on the field smiling.

Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK Points: 0000 + 400 = 400.

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK points: 0000 + 400 = 400.

White Dragon - Yellow Ritual Dragon ATK Points: 6300 + 400 = 6700.

White Dragon - Silver Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK Points: 2500 + 400 = 2900.

"Now Yuya, look at the smile faces!''. Ash called out to Yuya, which confused Yuya a bit, before he looked around at the smile faces, only for his eyes to widen. The Smile faces gained a Yellow aura around them with Yellow Ritual Dragon's aura going around them, making them sparkle, before Silver Pendulum Dragon breathed in, before it unleashed a breath attack into the air, which created a beautiful Silver meteor shower with the smile faces making the meteor Shower sparkle more.

"A true Dueltainer uses his own style to make people smile! I created my own style with my teacher's help! You on the other hand, Yuya! You're just copying your father's style and not making your own!''. Ash called out to his friend with narrowed eyes, telling Yuya that he just copies and not make his own style, before he pointed at Odd Eyes with his right hand's index and middle fingers. "Go Silver Pendulum! Take out Odd Eyes!''. Ash called out to his Dragon as Silver Eyes took another deep breath, before he unleashed another breath attack at Odd Eyes, striking him in the stomach, before Odd Eyes exploded in a Silver Explosion, with Silver sparkles coming out, raining down from the sky. (2900 - 400 = 2500)

Yuya Life Points: 4000 - 2500 = 1500.

Yuya's attention wasn't on the Duel, it was on Ash's performance. It looked so different, but it was just as amazing as his father's Dueltaining and so different. "Don't lose focus on a Duel Yuya, Finish this Yellow Ritual Dragon!''. Ash called out in irritation that Yuya has lost focus on the Duel, with Yellow Ritual Dragon unleashing a yellow Dragon Blast attack, striking Dark Rebellion in the stomach, who exploded in a black and Yellow explosion, with Black and Yellow Sparkling Smile faces come out, making Ash's performance look more amazing, before the smile faces light up, before they shoot a beam into the sky, with the beams creating a shining star constellation of Yellow Ritual Dragon. (6700 - 400 = 6300)

Yuya Life Points: 1500 - 6300 = 0000.

Yuya stood still as a statue as he continued to watch as the smile faces disappeared and the rest from Ash's performance. Ash's Dragons disappeared as Ash lowered his Duel Disk, before he walked over to Yuya. "Now you see! My Dueltaining style is different than your fathers, yet it still looked amazing as his. You copy your father's style, not creating your own! If you want to become a great Dueltainer, then created your own style ok!''. Ash said to Yuya, hoping that Yuya will finally understand that his just copying his teacher's style and will finally create his own style.

Yuya looked down at his feet with his eyes in sadness. "This whole time...I was just copying my dad...then how am I supposed to duel then''. Yuya said to himself as he finally realized that he was copying his father's style. "Duel your own way, Yuya. Learn by creating your own style and created the greatest Dueltaining style ever. I'll be waiting for you that day''. Ash said to his friend as he smiled at Yuya, before he turned around and walked away, leaving Yuya to his thoughts.

(Ending Song)

Shows Yuya riding on Odd-Eyes on a road to the city, with Ash riding on Novaforce Stardust Dragon flying besides them

As long as those smiles are there

Shows Declan, touching his glasses, and Shay up close to the face

In our tommorow

Shay then narrowed his eyes from the side of his face

Now, on wings of courage, just fly away!

Zuzu is looking at her bracelet for a while with dark clouds, until a shadow of Yuya passed by her, then a shadow of Yuto in a ruin Heartland is shown, before showing both Yuya and Yuto before they merge together that shattered, with Zuzu turning around with tears coming out of her face.

We are the future fighters!

Shay and some of his Raidraptor monsters are briefly seen

This duel of the soul (Slice through the darkness, cards of miracles!)

Clash heads in the battle that transcends space and time (The real fun's just getting started!)

Still shows Sora and Frightfur Bear before it changes to Yuua and Sylvio dueling each other, with a monster behind Sylvio

For our dreams to gather within our hands

Changes back to Yuya and Ash riding on their monsters on the road, with the light slowly beginning to shine on them

Let's go, towards the ultimate future
