7. Chapter 7 - Not a Game: Part 2 (1/2)

an: why hi there neighbor. now. *claps hands* reviews!

basket floats in

diabolic tracer: yeah. i was gonna replicate yuya's anime dream, then i thought "why not have some fun?" so i created the sora apocalypse. the sorapocolype.

now, about sora's little stalking mission. i basically just thought about how its weird when he does it to yuya, but it would be downright creepy if he did it to a girl. especially the whole bathroom thing.

i know the text is really long, but i couldn't figure out a better way to convey it. it was created as a replacement for candy shower, because it didn't really fit wildest west.

yuko won't be synchro-ing till the synchro dimension, (probably) but good guess.

guest: thank you very much

by the way, the intro idea comes from stardustxtreme's yu-gi-oh arc-v: red eyes fan fiction. i recommend you check it out, as it is a great story

with that…enjoy!

action dueling was born when the generation of matter was implemented as a feature into solid vision. fields, monsters, and duelists become one during these duels, and the crowd goes crazy for them!

[play yu-gi-oh arc-v opening 1, believexbelieve]

biribu x biribu biri-biri-biri badizu!

(believe x believe, electric buddies!)

several flashes of different colors came across the screen, showing both yema and yuko in several different poses, before a red jacket swiped across the screen, and it zoomed out, showing yuko holding his jacket over his shoulder, with yema absentmindedly playing on her duel disk as an action card

iefly appeared behind him before flipping over, creating four cards of different colors all showing silhouettes of the two twins standing together, before scattering to show the logo, as two pendulums swung behind it, with the background switching between different

ight colors as pictures of yuzu, gongenzaka, shozou, yoko, ayu, futoshi, tatsuya and sora appeared.

yu-gi-oh arc-v

the twin pendulums

yu! kachi make janai saikyo no kādo

(you! you are the ultimate card, it's not about winning or losing)

yuko's duel disk was shown, before scrolling down, past his red and black goggles which gleamed in the light, to the show the duelist swinging his duel disk around his body

yu! supido zenkai harahara on za gēmu

(you! your heart is racin', full speed ahead on the game)

the blade of yuko's duel disk was shown right before he placed down time stallion, and mounted it when it appeared

dan-dan-dan-dan dan! dan! dan! dan!

(step by step, step by step, done, done, done, done)

several monsters were shown from both twin's decks, like time golem, star swordsman and aquarius the star bearer

dan-dan-dan-dan dan! dan! dan! dan!

(step by step, step by step, done, done, done, done!)

more monsters from their decks were shown like time wizard, star

eaker magician and star sorceress, who used her staff to create a blinding light that enveloped the screen

yureru ma ma ma maindo

(mah, mah, mah mind is swingin')

the glow faded to show yuko and yema standing back to back both pendants glowing, before they both raised theirs arms to the sky

tamashi no pendyuramu kyukyo ku no konfyujon

(the pendulum of the soul, the ultimate confusion)

up above the twins, stargazer and timegazer were in the pendulum zones floating in the sky, with both pendants swinging between the magicians before a portal opened and three glowing monsters flew out

shodo ga gotto itto gotto itto

(got it, got it, got my impulses under control)

shingo was shown smirking while holding rocket dart striker, power dart striker and ultimate dart striker

shobu wa gachi gachi honki reboryushon

(this match is no joke, an all-out revolution)

another man with grey hair and glasses appeared, reflecting the light and pushed them up his nose, showing his eyes, which immediately changed to show time golem, star swordsman and time stallion all being summoned at the same time

(jasuto burēkin' za woru... x2)

(just

eakin' the wall…x2)

a green glow appeared on screen, before zooming out to show time warp pendulum dragon roaring

raido on nau!

(ride on now!)

yema was shown mounting onto star strike pendulum dragon before showing both twins clutching their pendants

biribu x biribu

(believe x believe)

time warp pendulum dragon was shown running along for a

ief moment before zooming out

eburibadi goin' kabe wo tsukiyabure!

(everybody's goin',

eak through the wall!)

the zoomed out perspective showed yuko riding on time warp pendulum dragon while yema clung onto his back to keep from falling, before yuko thrust out his hand and activated a spell, which twinkle kuriboh and another blue puffball emerged from

yua gona bito itto bito!

(you're gonna beat it beat!)

the two summoned kurbiohs danced around each other happily

mugendai no fyuchā mayoi wa buttobase!

(the future's infinite, throw your hesitation to the wind!)

yema nervously waved at the little monsters, who both looked happy and flew back to land on their owner's shoulders before yuko grabbed his deck and drew a card, which created a

ight red glow from the trail

meiku itto meiku itto yuki dashite (bureiku itto nau)

(make it, make it, be courageous (

eak it now))

yuzu and gonenzaka, both smiled and held out their arms happily

steppu aheddo! fumidase yo (du itto nau)

(step ahead! go forth (do it now))

sora, ayu, futoshi and tatsuya all jumped into the air happily

otanoshimi wa kore kara da! so daremo ga biribā!

(the fun's just beginning! so, everyone's a believer!)

the twins were shown riding on time warp pendulum dragon's back, before they both extended their arms and several monsters from their deck burst from behind and zoomed forwards. star strike pendulum dragon flew in next to time warp pendulum dragon, and the twins hopped onto it, as it flew high up into the sky far above the city

biribu x biribu biri-biri-biri badizu!

(believe x believe, electric buddies!)

multiple flashes appeared, showing yuzu, gongenzaka, shuzou, ayu, futoshi, tatsuya and sora, before cutting out to show everyone standing in front of the you show duel school, with both twins in the middle of an argument, with the others all standing around them amused.

yuko pov:

i frowned as i glanced at the duel. it seemed innocent enough at first glance, but the strange smirk on sora's face made me think otherwise.

sora 2050 lp, hand 1

yema 4000 lp, hand 1

on sora's field, frightfur bear stood tall with the toy vendor still sitting behind sora. yema had stargazer and star

eaker in her pendulum scales, with ursa, leo, aquila and star-strike all on the field. glancing back over at the fusion monster, i narrowed my eyes.

"what's she gonna do?" i thought, watching my sister tense up.

"polymerization…" i heard shuzou mutter next to me. "it can fuse two monsters together to make new ones"

"that was a fusion summon?" yuzu asked, slightly in awe.

"the only place around here they teach fusion summoning is lds…" shuzou said thoughtfully.

"he's not a student there if that's what you're wondering" i cut in, leaning forward. both hiragi's turned to look at me, with shuzou looking confused. i quickly explained.

"he was going to attend there, but he decided not to after hear yema's duel with shingo"

shuzou nodded slowly in understanding as we all turned our attention back to the duel

"battle!" sora exclaimed, "frightfur bear, attack leo the star lion! pummeling paw!" the stuffed bear charged forward and slammed its fist into leo, sending the lion flying backwards into a building, destroying it.

yema 4000 lp - 3100 lp

"i use frightfur bear's ability" sora said, as frightfur bear extended its paw and fished around in the wreckage. "i can equip the destroyed monster to frightfur bear to make him stronger!" frightful bear finally pulled leo out of the wreckage and devoured it with its razor sharp teeth. i widened my eyes as frightfur bear grew larger and two wings appeared on its back.

frightfur bear 2200 atk - 3500 atk

"i'll set one card and end my turn" sora said, the facedown appearing in front of him. he grinned

"where's your confidence?" he asked yema playfully, still grinning as frightfur bear roared.

"i draw!" yema said, drawing a new card

yema 3100 lp, hand 2

sora 2050 lp, hand 0

"i'll use ursa's ability!" yema said, as the bear roared. "by not attacking this turn, i can give its atk to another monster i control! i choose star-strike pendulum dragon!" ursa roared louder as star-strike began to glow.

star-strike pendulum dragon 600 atk - 2500 atk

"it's still too weak!" i heard ayu say to yuzu.

yema quickly darted over to the nearest building and snagged an action card. she glanced at it

iefly before attacking

"star-strike!" she shouted, the dragon flying forwards "attack frightfur bear!"

"but frightfur bear's stronger!" sora said. yema just smiled

"i use the action spell 'quick draw'!" yema said, the spell showing a holstered revolver being drawn appearing. "i draw a card, and if it's a monster, star-strike gets a boost equal to that monster's atk!" she quickly did so, and smiled.

"i drew taurus the star bull!" yema said showing the monster

taurus the star bull atk1100

"and that means star-strike gets a boost!" yema continued, as star-strike glowed with energy

star-strike pendulum dragon 2500 atk - 3600 atk

"attack!" she shouted, star-strike closing in on the grotesque stuffed animal

"nope!" sora said, activating a trap card "punch-in-the-box" will stop your attack!"

"oh come on!" i heard yema complain as the jack-in-the box smacked star-strike out of the sky for the second time in the duel. the hand went over, picked up ursa and once again slammed the poor bear into the dragon

star-strike pendulum dragon 3600 atk - 1700 atk

yema just groaned as star-strike

ought back ursa again.

"i'll set one card to end my turn" she said, the card appearing. "and now ursa's effect wears off"

star-strike pendulum dragon 1700 atk - 0 atk

"then i draw!" sora said, doing so

sora 2050 lp, hand 1

yema 3100 lp, hand 2

sora grinned as he looked at the drawn card.

"i activate toy parade!" sora said, showing a spell featuring a marching parade. "now frightfur bear can make attacks equal to the amount of equipped cards!"

"but that's still only one attack" futoshi said confused.

"no…" i said softly. futoshi, tatsuya and ayu all looked at me confused. i glanced over at them

"whenever frightfur bear destroys a monster, it can equip it, right?" i asked them. tatsuya nodded. ayu gasped

"i get it!" she said "so frightfur bear can just keep equipping monsters and attacking!"

"yeah…" i said. "and it gets stronger every time it attacks"

"i'm glad you get it!" sora said, still grinning, before turning to the field, and looking over it carefully.

"i'll take out your dragon first!" sora said, as frightfur bear charged to attack.

"if this lands, its all over" i thought.

apparently yema knew it too, because she began to run, her monsters following

"star-strike!" she shouted, running for an action card. when the dragon didn't move, she turned. star-strike was lying on the ground, unable to move after being hit by two punch-in-the-box's. yema shook her head

"aquila!" she shouted, the eagle swooping down and grabbing her arm. yema swooped over to the roof of the nearby building and grabbed an action card.

"i use the action card 'revival'!" yema said, the spell appearing. "this returns star-strike's atk to its original value!

star-strike pendulum dragon 0 atk - 2500 atk

"but it's still weaker!" i heard ayu say.

"and then frightfur bear will keep attacking!" tatsuya said

yema quickly spun around and darted for the nearby action card. right before she reached it, sora flew out of nowhere and snagged the card, and then leaped back across the buildings to frightfur bear.

"what the…" i muttered, watching the boy leap like a ninja back to his monster. sora looked at the action card and smiled

"shame you couldn't get this" he said "it would have probably saved your dragon. frightfur bear! continue the attack! pummeling paw!" frightfur bear rushed in and slammed its arm into star-strike pendulum dragon

"trap activate!" yema said, the trap featuring a spaceship blasting a tractor beam flipping up, "star beam stops your monster from attacking!" the same spaceship appeared and shot an energy beam straight as frightfur bear, making it freeze in place.

"action card activate!" sora said, activating the spell he snatched from yema "behind cover!" the action card appeared, showing a cowboy ducking behind a wall while being shot at.

"frightfur bear is unaffected by card effects this turn!" sora said, as frightfur bear deflected the beam "plus, he can't be destroyed by battle either!" frightfur bear continued its charge and slammed into star-strike pendulum dragon, destroying it
