Chapter 18: The terroirs of a war and going home.

After his Duel with Yuya, Ash has been walking back to where he left Lulu and Saya. Right now, he was just walking up the stairs, before he made it to the top and saw Lulu and Saya by the edge, watching something, only Celina was there now. "Hey girls!''. Ash called out to his friends, getting the girls to turn to see Ash walking over to them. "Hi Ash! / Hi daddy!''. Celina, Lulu and Saya called out to Ash, before Celina ran over to Ash, throwing herself to Ash, who coached her, spinning around, before he set her on the ground.

Celina then wrapped her arms around Ash's neck, before she kissed him on the lips with her eyes closed, while Ash wrapped his arms around Celina's waist, kissing her back with his eyes closed. The kiss lasted for a few seconds, before Celina pulled away. However, as soon as Celina pulled away from Ash, Lulu jumped at Ash, kissing him on the lips with her eyes closed, getting Ash to widen his eyes, before he kissed Lula back with his eyes closed. The kiss lasted for a few seconds, before Ash pulled away, smiling at Lulu, with Lulu returning the smile. "So what happened while I was gone''. Ash said to his girls, putting his left hand around Lulu's waist and his right hand around Celina's waist as he and his girls walked up to the edge of the building, while the girls had their hands on Ash's chest. "After you left, Zuzu showed up and Dennis challenged her. He did flirt with her though''. Celina said to her mate with a smile on her face, telling him what has happened since he left.

Ash's eyes then turned into Crimson flames at what he heard. "I'll rip him to shreds!''. Ash called out in rage at Dennis making a move on his girl, getting Lulu, Celina and Saya to giggle as they looked down the edge to see Dennis duelling Dennis, with Dennis having Trapeze Magician and Zuzu has Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir on her field. "Mommy has the advantage right now, but I have a feeling that will change soon''. Saya said to her daddy as she continued to watch, focusing on her mother, with Ash keeping a close eye as well. Ash and the girls continued to watch, only for their eyes to widen in surprise at seeing Dennis's surprise move, while Trapeze Magician picking up Bloom Diva bride style.

Ash heard a growl from his left, getting him and the girls to turn to see Silver Dragon in spirit form, growling at Trapeze Magician at picking Bloom Diva bride style. "I think Silver is jealous''. Saya said with a smile on her face, getting the others to smile at her joke, while Silver continued to ignore them.

However, Dennis's move switched both monsters, with Dennis using Bloom Diva to attack Trapeze Magician, ending the duel, while sending Zuzu flying and out of the bride, getting Ash and the girls to widen their eyes. "Zuzu!" Ash cried as he let go of Celina and Lulu, before he jumped over the edge, moving his legs against the building, before he shoot out towards the failing Zuz, catching her bride style, before he switched positions from his head going to the ground to his legs, with his roller blades acting.

Ash landed on the ground, with his roller blades activated as he rode them through the small hill, before he shoot up high and landed on the bride. The girls on the other hand, used their new powers to use flames on their feet to fly down to the bride, behind Dennis, before they ran other to Ash and Zuzu to check on Zuzu. "Zuzu, are you okay?" Ash asked in concern for his girlfriend as he held her gently. "Ash, when did you get here?" Zuzu asked in surprise, and is glad to see a familiar face, especially her boyfriend's face. "Well, this is an unexpected development." Dennis's voice is heard, getting Ash, the Bracelet Girls, and Saya to look to see Dennis having a surprise face as he walked towards them. Although thinking on the inside, Dennis is surprise to see Lulu here, along with seeing Celina and Saya. 'I don't understand how Lulu is here? Did someone break her out from Duel Academy? Not to mention, all three of them are here as well.' Dennis thought critically, seeing that his mission has got more complicated to capture the bracelet girls and little girl.

"I didn't know you have sisters, and Lulu; it's nice to see again." Dennis said to the Xyz Girl with a smile, keeping up his act for now. "Dennis, when did you get here in Standard?" Lulu asked her friend at how he came to Standard and escaped Heartland. "Well, I was in town, and entered the tournament and a member of Obelisk force sent me here by accident". Dennis replied as he walked towards the group until he is in front of Lulu. "Although I must say, it's lovely to see you again, looking beautiful as always, especially in that dress." Dennis commented as he kneed down on one knee, holding Lulu's left hand, then kissing it.

This cause Ash to growl and glare at Dennis for making this move against his girlfriend, not liking the boy for this act, while Lulu looked at her boyfriend with a look of apology. Dennis then let go of Lulu's hand, before he turned to Ash. "And you must be Ash Ketchum, right?" Dennis asked Ask if he was the Duellist that he was looking for because of two reasons. One to capture him and second to defeat him in a Duel. "That's right." Ash replied with narrowed eyes at Dennis. "I must say, I'm quite impressed with your duelling style throughout the tournament." Dennis complimented as he clapped his hands, also impress about Ash's way of duelling.

"Thank you, but where are you going with this?" Ash asked in wonder at what Dennis wants with his eyes not narrowed anymore. "I'm saying I challenge you to a duel as fellow Dueltainers!" Dennis replied as he held his Duel Disk out, wanting to test his Duel Skills against Ash, wanting to see how he can duel well against him. "Very well, I accept your challenge!" Ash said with a smirk on his face, not willing to back down from a fight. They soon separated on opposite fields, as the Bracelet Girls and Saya watch to see the outcome of the duel, wishing Ash good luck in this match. Both Duellists activated their Duel Disk for the duel. "Let's Duel!" Ash and Dennis shouted as the duel is about to begin.

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

Dennis Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5

"I'll go first!''. Dennis called out as he picked a card from his hand and slotted it on his Duel Blade. "I'll summon Performage Damage Juggler!''. Dennis called out as the Performage monster appeared on his field.

Performage Damage Juggler ATK Points: 1500.

"Now I activate Performage Surprise appearance!''. Dennis called out as he slotted a spell card in his Duel Disk, with a spell appearing on his field.

(Performage Surprise appearance/ Type: Quick-play Spell/ Effect: You can special summon one Level 4 or lower Performage Monster from your deck or hand to the field)

The spell card then turned into a small music box as the music started playing. "This spell allows me to summon a Performage monster from ether my hand or graveyard and I chose my deck!''. Dennis called out as he explained his spell card's effect, before a card slotted out of his deck with Dennis picking the card with his right hand's index and middle fingers. "And I chose Performage Trick Clown!''. Dennis called out as the music box opened and fireworks came out into the air, with Trick Clown appearing with the fireworks.

Performage Trick Clown ATK Points: 1600.

"Now watch as I overlay my two Performage to create the Overlay Network!''. Dennis called out as he held his right hand into the air, with both his monsters turning into two lights that went into the air. "The Show Must go on! I Xyz summon Performage Trapeze Magician!''. Dennis called out as his Extra deck opened and a card slotted out, which he grabbed and placed on his Duel Blade, with a new Monster that looks like a cross over of a clown and a Performage appeared on the field with 2 overlay units around it.

Performage Trapeze Magician ATK Points: 2500.

Lulu, Zuzu, Celina and Saya looked at Dennis's ace monster with a look of surprise at Dennis summoning his ace on his first move, with Zuzu having her hands on Saya's shoulders, while Ash just stared at Trapeze Magician with narrowed eyes. "I'll end my turn here with a face down! Now show me the Duel Taining style of the White Dragon Emperor!''. Dennis said as he held his right hand out to Ash with Trapeze Magician doing the same and a face down card appearing, making Ash smirk at Dennis. "Alright then, but just be prepared''. Ash said as he started to begin his turn in his Duel against Dennis.

(Opening song end)

"I draw!''. Ash called out as he drawled his card from his deck and added it to his hand, before he took two cards from his hand and held them between his right hand's index and middle fingers. "I set the Pendulum Scale with Scale 1 White Dragon – Synchron and Scale 8 White Dragon – Sonic!''. Ash called out as he placed the cards on the edges of his Duel Blade with the words "Pendulum'' appearing in rainbow colours.

Then Synchron and Sonic appeared in two pillars of light blue with the numbers '1' under Synchron and '8' under Sonic with a giant copy of Ash's Pendent appearing between the two monsters. "With these two Monsters, I'm allowed to summon Monsters between level 2 to 7 at the same time!''. Ash called out with his Pendent glowing, before he held his right hand up. "Great Dragons of White! Come forth and descend on this battlefield!''. Ash chanted out as the Giant version of his Pendent swinged between his two Pendulum Dragons. "My White Dragon! Descend now! I Pendulum summon!''. Ash called out as a portal appeared between his two Pendulum monsters, before two lights came out. "First up is White Dragon- Moon Eyes!''. Ash called out as the first light revealed Moon Eyes, roaring as he appeared. "And this show's star, White Dragon – Silver Eyes Pendulum Dragon!''. Ash called out as the second light disappeared to reveal Silver Pendulum Dragon, roaring as he appeared.

White Dragon – Moon Eyes ATK Points: 1800.

White Dragon – Silver Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK Points: 2500.

"And there's more where that came from! I play White Dragon – Fusion!''. Ash called out as he slotted the spell card into his Duel Disk with the spell appearing on his field. "I'll fuse White Dragon – Desolation and White Dragon – Reflector!''. Ash called out as two cards slotted out of his Duel Disk, which he grabbed with his right hand's index and middle fingers and slotted them into his Duel Disk's graveyard zone, with Desolation and Reflector appearing on his field, before they started to fuse together in a purple portal. "Dragon with the Colours of White and Purple! Descend and incinerate our enemies! I Fusion Summon! Level 8! White Dragon- Purple Fusion Dragon!''.Ash chanted out as the two dragons fused, with a card slotting out of his Extra Deck and he grabbed it with his right hand's index and middle fingers, before he placed it on his Duel Blade with Purple Fusion Dragon appearing on his field, roaring as he appeared. Purple Fusion and Silver Pendulum then let out a Dragon blast attack into the air, hitting each other that created purple and silver stars to rain down, amazing Dennis and the Girls.

White Dragon – Purple Fusion Dragon ATK Points: 2800.

Dennis let out a whistle of awe from seeing Ash summon his Fusion Dragon, while the girls looked at Fusion Dragon with a smile, knowing that no matter what Duel, he always gets his Aces out to help him whenever he needs help. "Bravo! Bravo! You Pendulum and Fusion summoned on your first turn! Truly you are an amazing Duellists!''. Dennis called out to Ash as he clapped his hand together, really impressed with Ash's duelling style. Ash smirked at what Dennis said. "Oh yeah! Then let's turn things up a bit! I activate the spell card, White Dragon – Sliver and Purple Dragon Fusion!''. Ash called out as he grabbed the last card in his hand and slotted it in his Duel Disk with the spell appearing on his field.

(White Dragon – Silver and Purple Fusion Dragon/ Type: Spell/ Effect: You can only activate this card when you control a Pendulum monster that has 'Silver Pendulum dragon' in its name and a Fusion monster that has 'Purple Fusion Dragon' in its name. You send both Dragons back to the Extra Deck as materials for a Fusion Monster, fusion summoning a White Dragon Fusion monster from your Extra Deck. You can remove this card from play from your graveyard to special summon one of the two monsters used as a Material)

"With this spell card, I'm allowed to fuse both my Silver and Purple Dragon now!''. Ash called out with wide eyes as he picked both cards and sent them in his Extra Deck and another card slotted out, which he grabbed with his right hand's index and middle fingers, with both Dragons roaring as they glowed Silver and Purple auras. "So you're gonna fuse your dragons. I'm sure that whatever it is, I can handle it''. Dennis said with confidence, not fearing what Ash is summoning. "Trust me! You've just signed your tomb stone when you flirted with Lulu!''. Ash called out as both his Dragons glowed brightly with their skin coming off, getting everyone confused at what was happening.

"Pendulum Dragon of Silver! Fuse together with the Fusion Dragon of Purple and form a new Dragon with the powered of the two combined dragons! I fusion summon! Level 10! White Dragon – Purple Silver Dragon!''. Ash called out as the two Dragons then mixed together, before a light burst out, forcing everyone to shield their eyes from the light. The light stayed for a few seconds, before it disappeared, getting everyone to look at what appeared, with everyone widening their eyes in shock.

The Dragon high in the air looked like Odd Eyes Venom Dragon, only pure White, with the 4 Dragon wings replacing the wings that Odd Eyes Venom Dragon has, silver lines on the left wings and purple on the right wings. There were also silver and purple glowing lings over the Dragons body, left eye silver and right eye purple. The Dragon wings were also the same wings as Silver and Purple Dragon wings, only Silver's wings on the top side and Purple Fusion Dragon's wings under. The body shape was the same shape as Odd Eyes Venom Dragon, face the same as Silver, only left eye was glowing silver and right eye glowing purple. The Dragon flew high into the air and let out a powerful roar, creating a powerful shockwave that forced everyone, but Ash to use their hands to shield themselves.

(White Dragon – Purple Silver Dragon

ATK: 3300/ DEF: 2500)

Everyone looked at the fused Dragon in complete awe at how amazing and powerful it looks, while Ash looked at his new Dragon with a smile. "You were right. You guys are more powerful when you fuse together''. Ash said to his new Dragon in awe, having been told that his four ace Dragons can combine their powers, but it was still amazing to look at. Silver Purple Dragon chuckled at what Ash said. "I'm glad you enjoy our new form my lord. Now let us show you our combine power!''. Silver Purple Dragon called out as he spread his wings and roared, creating another shockwave, getting Ash to nod to him. Ash then looked back at Dennis. "I play Purple Silver's effect! When his summoned, he gains all the ATK points of all monsters my opponent controls, and I gain Life Points equal to your monster's ATK Points! Silver Purple Drain!''. Ash called out as Purple Silver spread his wings open, with black energy coming out of Trapeze Magician and getting absorbed by Purple Silver, with purple and silver sparkles raining down on Ash.

White Dragon – Purple Silver Dragon ATK Points: 3200 + 2500 = 5700.

Performage Trapeze Magician ATK Points: 2500 – 2500 = 0000.

Ash Life Points: 4000 + 2500 = 6500.

Dennis widen his eyes in shock at what he just saw. "This is not good! My main actor has been drained!''. Dennis called out in shock at how Ash just took away his Ace monster's ATK Points like nothing. "Let's see how you survive this! Take out that clown, Purple Silver!''. Ash called out as he pointed at Trapeze Magician with his right hand's index finger, with Purple Silver unleashing a Purple Dragon Blast attack at Trapeze Magician. "It's time for my Bubble trick! I activate the trap card, Half Unbreak!''. Dennis called out as his face down card revealed itself with bubbles surrounding Trapeze Magician, protecting him from the blast attack.

"This trap keeps Trapeze Magician from being destroyed and cuts the damage in half''. Dennis said as he explained his trap's effect. "However, your still gonna take big damage. Instead of 5700 damage, you'll take 2850 points of damage!''. Ash called out as he told Dennis how much damage he'll take, just before the shockwaves of his attack sent Dennis flying, who landed on his hands and backflipped and landed on his feet.

Dennis Life Points: 4000 – 2850 = 1150.

"Now Moon Eyes attacks Trapeze Magician!''. Ash called out as he pointed at Trapeze Magician with his right hand's index finger, right before Moon Eyes fired a blue Dark Blast at Trapeze Magician, who was protected by the bubble, but Dennis still felt the shockwave from the attack. (0000 – 1800 – 900 = 900)

Dennis Life Points: 1150 – 900 – 250.

"I end my turn here, since I can't do anything else''. Ash said as he ended his turn, having nothing left to do.

Dennis Life Points: 250/ Number of cards in hand: 1.

"You're as ruthless as ether''. Yusei said to Ash as he appeared in spirit from arms crossed, with Yugi next to him. "His right, you know. Give your opponents at least a chance to fight back or something. You just go out at the start, you could just let them set a defence or something''. Yugi said to his student, even though he sounds proud of Ash being a very powerful Duellist. Ash looked at his teachers and gave them a small smirk, before he looked back at Dennis. "If you even want to have hope at defeating me, then go full force and no more holding back''. Ash called out as he pointed at Dennis, with his right hand's index finger. "Alright, since you put it that way. I'll guess I'll go full force''. Dennis said with a smirk on his face.

"Get ready, here's a real show stopper!" Dennis called out as he drew his card, with sparkles appearing from his deck. "Here it comes!" Yugi cried to his student, thinking Dennis is about to pull his big move. "Get ready!" Yusei reminded Ash with narrowed eyes, not knowing what Dennis would pull next. Ash listened to both his mentors' advices and stayed on guard, with his Dragons growling as well. Even Celina, Zuzu, Saya, and Lulu were watching the duel very closely. Dennis looked at the card he drew, but gasp in shock and sweat dropped about what he drew: Polymerization, a Fusion Card.

"I didn't mean it literally!" Dennis cried out in shock, who turned white in despair, eyebrow twitching. Dennis then brought his head down, not expecting to draw his fusion card from his deck. "I feel like such a bluff! My only choice is to put a monster in defence mode, switch Trapeze to Defence mode and another card face down because that's all a loser like me can do!" Dennis cried out, his head down in shame as he made his move with a Shadowy caged monster appearing, a face down card appearing and Trapeze going to one knee.

Ash, Yugi, and Yusei were a bit surprise at the way Dennis acted just now, with Ash's Dragons sweet dropping at what happened. "Huh? Wonder what gotten into him?" Ash muttered to himself at Dennis's move, wondering about what card Dennis drew that made him act this way. Lulu, Zuzu, and Celina were stunned at this move from Dennis, although Celina looks more angry at the move Dennis made a bit more personally.

Trapeze Magician DEF Points: 2000.

Ash Life Points: 6500/ Number of cards in hand: 0

"I draw!''. Ash called out as he drawled his card from his deck, before he looked at it, before he slotted it in his Duel Disk. "I activate the spell card, Multi White Draconic burst! Now Purple Silver gains Moon Eye's ATK Points and deal piercing damage to you now!" Ash called out as he explained the effects of his spell to Dennis, with a White aura appearing around Moon Eyes, before it went to Purple Silver, who roared as he powered up.

White Dragon – Purple Silver Dragon ATK Points: 5700 + 1800 = 7500.

"Oh oh!''. Dennis called out in worry at how he was now able to lose the duel now. Ash then pointed at Trapeze Magician with his right hand's index finger, with his eyes narrowed. "You lose, Dennis! Have fun Purple Fusion!''. Ash called out to his Dragon as Purple Fusion Dragon roared as he fired a Purple and Silver Dragon Blast at Trapeze Magician, who was caught in the blast and was destroyed, with Dennis being sent flying from the force of the attack and landed on the ground on his back. (2000 – 7500 = 5000)

Dennis Life Points: 250 – 5500 = 0000.

Ash's Dragons disappeared with Ash's Duel Disk deactivating, who let his arm hang loosely at his side, with Ash looking at the knocked out Dennis, before he sighed at how easy Dennis was, before he turned around and started walking to the girls. However, Ash's eyes widen as he felt many Life Energy approaching, signalling that the Invasion has began, making Ash quickly run towards the Girls, who looked at him in alarm at how Ash was acting. "Ash, what's wrong?''. Zuzu said in confusion on why her boyfriend was acting like this, never seeing him have a serious face like the one he has now.

"No time to talk, the Invasion has began and if you don't believe me, just look behind me and you'll see them marching up to us''. Ash said to his girls as he pointed behind him, before he went up to Saya, with the girls looking and indeed saw Obelisk force members marching up to them, who were smirking. "Saya. I need you to stay in the Volcano Area and keep watch over them, but if things get worse, don't hesitate to teleport to the house. Remember, they're after you as well''. Ash said to his little girl, telling her to keep an eye on things in the Volcano area and to listen to Obelisk force's plans, which Saya nodded to her father with determined eyes as she nodded her head.

However, just then a smoke ball appeared where Ash and the girls were, which Ash took advantage as he picked up Celina in bride style and jumped out of the smoke with Celina in his arms, along with Moon Shadow carrying Zuzu and Sun Shadow carrying Lulu, with Saya taking the chance to hide somewhere safe from Duel Academy.

(A few minutes later)

In the Ice Field, we see Ash, Zuzu, Lulu, Celina (who was being held by Ash, bridal style, blushing), and the two ninjas, Moon Shadow and Sun Shadow. The group was walking in this area after escaping from an Obelisk Force from the Volcano Area to hide and began their plan to defend the Standard Dimension. "You know, you can let me down now." Celina said to her lover, who is still holding her bridal style, still blushing at bit at how he was holding her. "What's wrong? Don't you not like me carrying you like this?" Ash teased with a smile, getting Celina to blush more and pout, before turning her head to the side. Lulu and Zuzu both giggle a bit, seeing Celina like this in a way around Ash. Lulu was also carrying a bag she left in the Ice Field when the day started, as well that holds Celina's old clothes for her or Zuzu to change into once they are safe. They had planned for Zuzu or Celina to use Celina's old Duel Academy outfit to distract Duel Academy from the Innocent that would get caught up in the battle.

Moon Shadow and Sun Shadow were also keeping watch for anymore Duel Soldiers coming for them. Once they know they are safe, the small group stop by an ice rock for Celina to change, but then Zuzu decided to do it for her. Ash then put Celina down, with Lulu handing Zuzu the bag. "Good, now Zuzu can change into my old clothes, but are you sure about this Zuzu." Celina said to Zuzu if she was sure, which Zuzu nodded with a smile, getting Celina to smile, before Celina moved to take Zuzu's current clothing off. However, everyone else freaked out about Celina undressing Zuzu in front of them. "Hold it!" Zuzu called out in surprise, holding her jacket with her arms, stopping Celina from doing something embarrassing to her. "What's wrong?" Celina asked in confusion at why Zuzu was acting like this.

"You and Zuzu can't change in front of everyone, especially with boys involved!" Lulu stated, with Ash and the ninjas nodding their heads in agreement. "She's right! Why don't you change behind that ice rock while we guys just look away while your changing?" Ash said to Celina and Zuzu as he and the ninjas turned around, making sure the change is private.

"Now let's go." Zuzu said as she dragged Celina into the ice rock for her clothes. Soon Zuzu came out wearing Celina's old Duel Academy outfit, even with a copy of Celina's ribbon and hair now like Celina's hair as well, making Ash blush, along with everyone gathered around and begin to plan their next move. "Alright everyone listen, sense the invasion has begun, here's what were going to do." Ash explained to the gathered group, with all of them paying attention, while kneeling in a circle to discussing the plan, with the ninjas listening in. "Celina, I need you to check on Shay." Ash said to the Fusion girl on what she needs to do, worried for Shay and if Duel Academy got to him. "Got it." Celina said to her Lover with a smile, worried for Shay since she and him got along well in their small time.

"Lulu, I need you to check on Rin." Ash said to Xyz girl to check on the Synchro Version of the girls, knowing that she'll be in danger at what is happening today. "I understand." Lulu said to her Lover with a serious face, knowing Rin is not safe from harm. "Moon and Sun Shadow, I need you two to check on Saya in the Volcano Area." Ash said to the two ninjas, worried about his daughter getting captured.

"We will be sure to do that." Moon Shadow said to Ash, nodding his head, refusing to let a young child getting hurt by these invaders. "You have our word." Sun Shadow said as well with a nod, also refusing to let a child getting hurt as well. "What about you, Ash?" Zuzu asked in wonder at what Ash will be doing during all of this and who he'll be staying with. "I'm going to stay on guard with you, Zuzu." Ash replied back to his Standard Girlfriend, knowing she'll need back up, getting a nod from Zuzu and a smile from her as well at how her boyfriend will be keeping her safe from harm.

"Remember guys, these Duel Soldiers are dangerous, and girls..." Ash said with a tone of seriousness, with the Bracelet Girls looking at him. "Make sure you don't duel alone, and be careful." Ash said in worry about them being captured by the Duel Soldiers and being sent back to Duel Academy. "Don't worry." Lulu said to her lover with a smile at how he is concerned for them in a time like this. "We won't go down easily." Celina said as well with a smile on her face. Soon, the girls and ninjas went their separate ways to their designated areas. This only left Ash and Zuzu in the Ice Area, staying on guard in case Duel Soldiers are around. Soon after a few minutes, a trio of Obelisk Force spotted the two duellists and surrounded them, with Ash and Zuzu readying their Duel Disks for the fight of their lives.

(30 minutes later)

An explosion happened in the ice field, with the explosion being caused by a combined attack from Novaforce Stardust Dragon and Mozarta. In the ice field, three members of the Obelisk force were down on the ground knocked out with their Duel Disks activated, with Ash and Zuzu standing up with their blades activated, standing side by side with their ace monsters doing the same. "This is going very good. And fun with you by my side Zuzu''. Ash said to his girlfriend as he went behind Zuzu and wrapped his arms around her waist, before he gave Zuzu a kiss on the check, making Zuzu giggle and blush at her boyfriend's actions. "Ash, stop it. We'll make out later when this is done''. Zuzu said to her boyfriend with a smile and eyes down, even though she wants to make out with her boyfriend as well, just as badly as Ash.

However, just then the three Duel Academy members glowed blue, before they disappeared, returning back to their home in the Fusion Dimension, getting Zuzu to look on in surprise. "What happened to them?''. Zuzu said in surprise and worry for the Obelisk force members at how they just disappeared out of nowhere. "Don't worry, they just went back to their home in Duel Academy, nothing bad happen to them, but it's really kind that your worried about them''. Ash said to his girlfriend on what happened to the Obelisk force members and how they disappeared, along with smiling at how kind Zuzu is about worrying about the Obelisk force members, getting Zuzu to turn her head to look at Ash. "Even if they're bad guys, they're still human beings''. Zuzu said to her boyfriend, telling him why she was worried for the Obelisk force members.

Ash smiled at his girlfriend. "Your kindness is one of the many reasons on why I love you, Zuzu''. Ash said to his girlfriend with a smile of love, before he kissed Zuzu on the check, getting Zuzu to blush and giggle again at what her boyfriend was doing and saying. "Well isn't that sweet!''. A voice called out, making Ash and Zuzu look to see something shocking advancing towards them. It was Yuri, who had a bored look on his face at getting sent on this mission, but when Yuri saw Ash's face, he looked surprised, before he started to smirk evilly at seeing his most hated foe again, whoever managed to defeat him with him being the only one, along with Yuri hearing his Dragon's roar of pleasure to sense his brother again.

"My my, I never thought I would run into you again." Yuri said sadistically as he eyed Ash and Zuzu on his grinning face, feeling excitement curse through him at seeing Ash again. "Why are you here, Yuri?!" Ash said with distaste as he unwrapped his arms around Zuzu and stood in front of her to protect her from Yuri. "Is that how you greet an old friend?" Yuri asked in return as he continued to smirk evilly at Ash, wanting to Duel him again now more than ever. "Besides, I had a mission that involves the girl next to you, but sense your here, I'm in quite a mood now." Yuri continued to talk with the same smirk on his face, staring at Ash with a predatory gaze. Ash turns to Zuzu, knowing she is in danger.

"Zuzu, run away while you can. You're no match for Yuri as you are now." Ash warned Zuzu with a worried look of her getting captured by Yuri and sent to Duel Academy if she gets caught by Yuri, who looked worried for her boyfriend. "What about you?" Zuzu questioned her boyfriend on what will happen to him, worried about Ash getting hurt. "Don't worry. I can hold my own. Now go!" Ash called out to his lover as Zuzu nodded with reluctance and ran away from the upcoming duel, but looked at Ash's face one last time, knowing that this won't be the last time she sees her lover.

"My my, quite protective of that girl, aren't you?" Yuri questioned as he watched them interact. "Kind of like that other girl you always protected when I tried to capture her every time in the Xyz Dimension. What was her name again, Lulu?" Yuri finished as he ready his duel disk with an evil smirk. "You're not getting your hands on Zuzu!" Ash cried as he activated his duel disk. "If that's what you want. Besides, me and my dragon were getting bored anyway for all the opponents we defeat in battle." Yuri said to Ash, sounding and looking bored from all the weak challenges he has faced, none satisfying to him. "Besides, you and your Fusion Dragon are the only ones that can entertain us.

Not to mention the only ones to defeat us, and we still crave to defeat you both in battle!" Yuri exclaimed with a craze look in his eyes, activating his duel disk. "Like we'll let that happen! Besides, you lost to me every time, Yuri, and you're going to lose again!" Ash declared as the duel is about to start between the two old enemies. "That's it! That's what me and Starving Venom wanted to see right now! The look of defiance in your eyes as you opposes us!" Yuri shouted out loud, looking very excited to see his opponent again for so long. He and his dragon will be very satisfied with this duel very much. "Duel!''. Ash and Yuri called out as they drawled the top five cards of their decks, ready to have another Duel against each other.

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

"The first move is mine!''. Ash called out to Yuri as he took two cards from his hand and held them out in his right hand's index and middle fingers. "I'll set the Pendulum Scale with Scale 11 White Dragon – Wing slasher and Scale 3 White Dragon – Purple Venom Dragon!''. Ash called out as he set the cards on the edges of his Duel Blades, with the words 'Pendulum' appearing in rainbow colours, with the two Dragon appearing in two pillars of light, with the numbers '11' and '3' under the two dragons, with 11 under Wing Slasher and 3 under Purple Venom Dragon.

"With these two monsters, I can summons monster between 3 to 11 at the same time! Great Dragons of White, come forth and descend on this battlefield! My white Dragons, descend now!''. Ash called out as he raised his right hand into the air, with a portal and giant version of his Pendulum appearing between his Dragons, with two lights coming out. "I pendulum summon White Dragon- Wind Striker and White Dragon – Silver eyes!''. Ash called out as the two lights disappeared to reveal Wind Striker and Silver eyes, who roared as they kneeled down and used their wings to shield themselves.

"I'll end my turn here! Bring it on, Yuri!''. Ash called out as he ended his turn, while pointing at Yuri with his right hand's index finger, who smirked evilly at Ash with a crazy look.

Yuri Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards: 5.

"Consider it brought!''. Yuri called out as he drawled his card, before he added it to his hand, before he grabbed another card and held it with his index and middle fingers. "I'll start by summon Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio!''. Yuri called out as he placed the card on his Duel Blade with Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio appearing on the field.

Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio ATK Points: 1200.

"I now activate Ophrys Scorpio's effect! I discard Predaplant Cordyceps to summon Predaplant Chlamydosundew from my deck!''. Yuri called out as he explained Ophrys Scorpio's effect, while sending a card to the graveyard zone of his Duel Disk, before his deck shuffled, before a card slotted out with Yuri grabbing it and setting it on his Duel Blade, with Predaplant Chlamydosundew appearing on his field.

Predaplant Chlamydosundew ATK Points: 600.

"Now I activate Chlamydosundew's effect! I can fuse him and a Predeplant monster on my field or hand to summon a Predaplant Fusion Monster! So I'll fuse Chlamydosundew and Ophrys!''. Yuri called out as he raised his right hand into the air, with both his monsters going into the air. "Prepare yourself, White Dragon Emperor, because the 'fun' is about to began! I fusion summon! Level 8! Predaplant Dragostapelia!''. Yuri called out as both his monsters fused together, before they formed into a plant-like Dragon, who roared at Ash with saliva coming out of his mouth, hitting the ground and melting it.

Predaplant Dragostapelia ATK Points: 2700.

"I'm not done yet! I activated Dragostapelia's effect! I can set a Predaplant counter on one of your monsters, its effect is negated and its level becomes 1!''. Yuri called out as he explained his Fusion Monster's effect, who roared as a seed came out of its mouth and attached itself to Silver Eye's wings, which opened up and thorns started to wrap around Silver Eyes.

White Dragon – Silver Eye's Level: 4 – 3 = 1.

"Now I'll summon Predaplant Drosophyllum Hydra thanks to his effect! I can summon this card by tributing a monster with a predaplant counter, so say goodbye to your Silver Eyes!''. Yuri called out with a crazy look, as Silver eyes roared in pain, before he disappeared to reveal another Predaplant monster then went to Yuri's field.

Predaplant Drosophyllum Hydra DEF Points: 2300.

"Now I activate the spell card, Polymerization!''. Yuri called out as the spell card appeared on his field, making Ash narrow his eyes at seeing the spell card. "I'll fuse Drosophyllum and Predaplant Pterapenthes!''. Yuri called out as another predaplant monster appeared on his field. "If you think one Fusion summon was bad enough, then you're gonna hate two Fusion summons! I Fusion summon! Level 7! Predaplant Chimerafflesia!''. Yuri called out with a crazy look as his two predaplant monsters fused together to form a big ugly Predaplant monster.

Predaplant Chimerafflesia ATK Points: 2500.

"Well that's just great!''. Ash said to himself as he really now hated his day so far at how it is going. "I activate Chimerafflesia's effect! I can target a monster on the field, whose level is equal or lower and banish it!''. Yuri called out as he explained his monster's effect, making Ash widen his eyes in shock as Yuri's ugly plant moved forward to Wind Striker and started eating him, making Ash widen his eyes at seeing his Dragon being eaten. "I'm sorry my lord''. Ash heard Wind Striker call out to him, making Ash grant his teeth. "Now Dragostapelia attacks you directly, White Dragon Emperor!''. Yuri called out as he pointed out at Ash, with Dragostapelia gathering energy in its mouth, before it fired a blast from its mouth, striking the ground in front of Ash, sending Ash flying, but Ash quickly used his hands to land on the ground, before he back flipped onto his feet.

"I play White Dragon – Life Dragon's effect from my hand to summon him!''. Ash called out as he picked the last card in his hand and placed it on his Duel Blade, with Life Dragon appearing on his field. "When I'm about to take Battle or effect damage, I can summon him, negate the Damage and gain Life Points equal to the damage I would have taken!''. Ash called out as he explained his monster's effect, making Yuri growl in anger.

Ash Life Points: 4000 + 2700 = 6700.

White Dragon – Life Dragon ATK Points: 1700.

"Predaplant Chimerafflesia destroy that pesky Dragon!''. Yuri called out in rage as he pointed at Life Dragon with Chimderafflesia eating Life Dragon this time, with Shadow closing his eyes at the sight. (1700 – 2500 = 800)

Ash Life Points: 6700 – 800 = 5500.

"I'll end my turn by placing two face down cards!''. Yuri called out as he slotted the last two cards in his hand into his Duel Disk with two cards appearing on his field.

Ash Life Points: 5500/ Number of cards in hand: 0.

"I draw!''. Ash called out as he drawled his card from his hand and placed it in his hand. Ash then looked at the field, before he looked at his Pendulum Monsters, thinking of a strategy. Yuri smirked when he saw Ash look at his Pendulum monsters, before he looked down at his face down cards. "With the current set Pendulum scale, I'll pendulum summon-''. Ash started to call out with his right hand raised, only for Yuri to interrupt. "I don't think so. I activate the trap card, Paradox Fusion!''. Yuri called out as he held his right hand out, with one of his face down cards revealing itself, making Ash widen his eyes. "Thanks to this card, when you're about to special summon, I can remove a Fusion Monster on my field and negate that summoning, but since the effect is from a summoning, you're lucky that nothing is getting destroyed!''. Yuri called out as he explained his trap's effect, with Dragostapelia disappearing as the two Pendulum monsters lost their powers.

Ash granted his teeth, before he slotted the card in his hand into his Duel Disk. "I activate the Spell card, Pendulum Sacrifice to life! I can send two Pendulum cards from my Pendulum Zone to the Extra Deck and draw cards equal to the lower monster's scale to the higher monster's scale. Since their scales were 3 to 11, I can draw 8 cards!''. Ash called out as he explained his spell's effect, while taking the two cards on his Duel Blade and setting them in the Extra Deck, before drawing 8 cards from his deck, with Ash looking at his new hand. "I'll reset the Pendulum Scale with Scale 1 White Dragon – Vanguard and Scale 8 White Dragon – Zenith!''. Ash called out as he placed two new cards on the edges of his Duel Blade, with the words 'Pendulum' appearing on the blade, before the two Dragons appeared in two pillars of light, with the Numbers '1' under Vanguard and '8' under Zenith.

"If your gonna do twice the fun, I'll do the same thing! My White Dragons, descend now! I Pendulum summon!''. Ash called out as he raised his right hand, with a giant version of his Pendulum appearing, with a portal, this time with four lights coming out. "Have some fun White Dragon – Life Dragon! Silver Eyes! Synchro and Pendulum Wyvern!''. Ash called out as the four lights disappeared to reveal Life Dragon, Silver Eyes, Synchron and Pendulum Wyvern, who were growling at Yuri.

White Dragon – Silver Eyes ATK Points: 1900.

White Dragon – Synchron ATK Points: 1300.

White Dragon – Pendulum Wyvern ATK Points: 1600.

"Now Synchro gives Pendulum Wyvern a Tune up!'''. Ash called out as he raised his right hand as Synchro turned into three green rings that went around Pendulum Wyvern, who turned orange, before he turned into 4 lights and a beam appeared. "I Synchro Summon! Level 7! White Dragon – Green Synchro Dragon!''. Ash called out as his Synchro version of the four Dragons appeared, roaring as he appeared.

"Now I activate Zenith's Pendulum effect! I can select a Level and all White Dragon monsters' levels will become that Level. I chose to make my Dragons level 8!''.

White Dragon – Silver Eyes Level: 4 + 4 = 8.

White Dragon – Life Dragon Level: 4 + 4 = 8.

"Now I overlay my Level 8 Silver Eyes and Life Dragon!''.

Descend and strike down this Poison plant!''. Ash called out as Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon descended into the air, roaring with two Overlay units around it, with Yuri looking at the new Dragon with an impressed look.

"Silver eyes' ability activates now. Since he was used for a Rank 8 monster, that monster gains 1000 ATK Points and I get to draw a card!''. Ash called out as he explained his monster's effect, drawing a card as Galaxy Eyes powered up.

"Now Galaxy Eyes attacks Chimerafflesia!''. Ash called out as he pointed at Chimerafflesia with his right hand's index and middle fingers, with Galaxy Eyes gathering energy in its mouth. "Ha! I play Chimerafflesia's effect! When he battles an opponent's monster, that monster loses 1000 ATK Points and he gains 1000 ATK Points!''. Yuri called out as he explained his monster's effect, with Chimerafflesia spitting out acid on Galaxy Eyes, who used his wings to protect himself.

Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon ATK Points: 4000 – 1000 = 3000.

Predaplant Chimerafflesia ATK Points: 2500 + 1000 = 3500.

Ash smirked at Yuri's move. "In that case, I'll discard White Dragon – Enforcer to use his ability!''. Ash called out as he held a card in his right hand's index, middle and thumb. "By discarding this guy, a Dragon type monster on my field gains 1000 ATK Points!''. Ash called out as he explained his monster's effect, while sending the card into his graveyard zone of his Duel Disk, with Silver flames wrapping around Galaxy Eyes.

Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon ATK Points: 3000 + 1000 = 4000.

Yuri smirked at how Ash evaded his move. "In that case, I'll activate the trap, Predaplant Germination!''. Yuri called out as his last trap card revealed itself. "With this trap, I can-''. Yuri started to say, only for Ash to interrupt him. "Think again, I use Green Synchro's effect to destroy that trap!''. Ash called out as he held his right hand out, with Green Synchro's wings flashing out energy that destroyed the trap. "Now go Galaxy Eyes!''. Ash called out as Galaxy Eyes unleashed a blast that strike with Chimerafflesia, destroying him. ( 4000 – 3500 = 500)

Yuri Life Points: 4000 – 500 = 3500.

"Now your turn Green Synchro Dragon!''. Ash called out as he pointed at Yuri this time, which Green Synchro Dragon charged at him, sending Yuri flying off his feet, but landed on his feet.

"I'll end my turn with two face down cards!''. Ash called out as he slotted in two cards into his Duel Disk, with two cards appearing on his field.

"I draw!''. Yuri called out as he drawled his card from his deck. "At this moment, I remove Predaplant Cordyceps from my graveyard to activate his effect, allowing me to summon two Predaplants from my graveyard, so come back Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio and Predaplant Drosophyllum Hydra!''. Yuri called out as two portals appeared in front of him, before his two Predaplants appearing on his field

Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio ATK Points: 1200.

"Then I activate Pot of Greed!''. Yuri called out as the green pot appeared on his field. "I can draw two cards from my deck now''. Yuri said as the green pot was destroyed, with Yuri drawing two cards, and smirked when he saw what he drawled.

"Now I activate the spell card, Polymerization!''. Yuri called out as he slotted the spell card into his Duel Disk, making Ash grant his teeth. "My Dragon's penitence has reached its breaking point and now he wants to play! I Fusion Summon! Level 8! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!''. Yuri called out as his two monsters fused together, before s Starving Venom Fusion Dragon appeared, roaring at Ash and his Dragons.

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon ATK Points: 2800.

"Starving Venom Fusion Dragon's effect activates! When his summoned using monsters on my field, he gains all special summoned monsters on your field's ATK Points''. Yuri called out as he explained his monster's effect, with Starving Venom absorbing energy from Galaxy Eyes and Green Synchro Dragon.

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon ATK Points: 2800 + 4000 = 6800 + 2500 = 9300.

"Starving Venom attacks Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon!''. Yuri called out in glee as he pointed at Galaxy Eyes, with Starving Venom unleashing one of its mouth, which shot out and eat Galaxy Eyes, with Ash using his hands to block from the shockwaves, but the shockwaves were to strong and sent him to the ground on his back. (4000 – 9300 = 5300)

Ash Life Points: 5500 – 5300 – 200.

"I'll end my turn here with a face down. You only have one last turn so make it count''. Yuri said with a smirk as he ended his turn.

Ash called out as the spell card appeared on his field, making Yuri smirk. "I use this spell to fuse Lancer and Skylight from my deck!''. Ash called out as he explained his spell's effect, with two cards slotting out of his deck, which Ash grabbed. "You brought out your Fusion Dragon, so I'll do the same! I Fusion summon! Level 8! White Dragon – Purple Fusion Dragon!''. Ash called out as his two dragons appeared on his field, before they fused together to form Purple Fusion Dragon, roaring as he appeared.

White Dragon – Purple Fusion Dragon ATK Points: 2800.

Starving Venom and Purple Fusion Dragon started roaring at each other in rage, saying nothing to each other. "I activate Purple Fusion's effect! Now he gains Starving Venom's ATK Points!''. Ash called out as explained his Dragon's effect, with Purple Fusion Dragon spread his wings, before thorns came out and heading towards Starving Venom. "I don't think so! I activated the trap card, Starving Venom counter!''. Yuri called out as his face down card revealed itself.

(Starving Venom Counter/ Type: Trap/ Effect: If you control a Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, and if an effect, spell or trap targets it, you can negate the effect. If the negated effect was from a monster, Starving Venom gains that monster's ATK Points, and that monster must battle Starving Venom this turn.)

"With this trap card, Purple Fusion's effect is negated and Starving Venom gains that Monster's ATK Points''. Yuri called out as he explained his trap card's effect, with Starving Vemon's mouths coming out and biting into Purple Venom's thorns, draining energy.

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon ATK Points: 2800 + 2800 = 5600.

"And this trap gets your Purple Fusion Dragon to battle my Starving Venom this turn, so this duel is over!"'. Yuri called out to Ash with a crazy look on his face, but Ash smirked at Yuri. "Your right, this is over. I activate the spell card, White Dragon - Unity Spirit!''. Ash called out as one of his face down cards revealed itself. "With this spell, I can discard a White Dragon in my hand and Purple Fusion gains that discarded monster's ATK Points! I discard Silver Dragon, so Purple Fusion gains his 2500 ATK Points!''. Ash called out as he explained his spell's effect, before he discarded his last card in his hand, with a Silver Aura surrounding Purple Fusion.

"Now Purple Fusion Dragon attacks Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!''. Ash called out as he pointed at Starving Venom, with both Dragon unleashing a Purple Blast from their mouths, which slammed into each other. "And now my final card in this Duel! Reveal the Trap, White Dragon - Comrades Unite!''. Ash shouted out as he raised his right fist into the air, with his final face down card revealing itself. "Since I have two White Dragon Monsters, both their ATK Points are doubled!''. Ash called out as he explained his tarp's effect, making Yuri widen her eyes.

White Dragon – Green Synchro Dragon ATK Points: 2500 + 2500 = 5000.

White Dragon – Purple Fusion Dragon ATK Points: 5300 + 5300 = 10600.

"RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAA!''. Both Ash and Yuri shouted out as their Dragon's attack continued to push against each other, before Purple Fusion Dragon's attack went passed and strike Starving Venom in the stomach, creating a powerful explosion that sent Yuri to the ground on his back. (5600 – 10600 = 5000)

Yuri Life Points: 1000 – 5000 = 0000.

Ash took deep breaths as his Dragons disappeared and his Duel Disk deactivated. Ash soon walked to Yuri's fallen form, who was looking at the sky. Yuri then started laughing, making Ash raise an eye brow in confusion. "As always, my Duels with you are the best. Till next time, old friend''. Yuri said to Ash as he looked at him, before his Duel Disk activated and teleported him back to the Fusion Dimension, making Ash sigh. "At least Yuri is out for a while, but I wonder how's Zuzu''. Ash thought to himself as he closed his eyes to sense Zuzu's bracelet energy, but found it wasn't in Standard, but instead sensed it in Synchro. "Why is Zuzu in my home Dimension. At least she's safe there, but I better check on Saya and see how's she doing''. Ash thought to himself as he opened his eyes and ran off to check on his daughter.
