diabolictracer:
thanks. this might be obvious, but that's the feel i'm always going for (hence the intro and outro)
i dunno…there are gonna be a few more pretty nice lines before the end of this arc
random reader:
i love/hate it when that happens, especially when i'm one turn away from victory.
well, we also need yuri to arrive…then the salad is complete!
the plan is to give yuzu (along with all the
acelet girls really) more screen time and a more relevant role to the story.
all right, so please enjoy!
and a big thank you to my new beta reader zane the wordsmith. they're the reason that this chapter is better than it was originally.
3rd person pov:
previously on yu-gi-oh arc-v: the twin pendulums…
our duels started getting a bit out of hand to be frank
"xyz summon! raidraptor - rise falcon!"
"xyz summon! utopic sunrise xyz dragon!"
but as long we keep going on, there's no way we can lose…right?
"rise falcon! ravaging rebellion!"
"utopic sunrise xyz dragon! rising sun supreme blast!"
at least, i really hope so. and i hope we'll be all right in the end…
"rank-up xyz change!"
….or not
[play yu-gi-oh arc-v opening 1, believexbelieve]
biribu x biribu biri-biri-biri badizu!
(believe, believe, we're 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, shuzou, yoko, ayu, futoshi, tatsuya and sora appeared.
yu-gi-oh arc-v
the twin pendulums
yu! kachi make janai saikyo no kado
(just forget about winning or losing your best card)
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 gemu
(feel the excitement and your heart pounding 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!
(done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done)
several monsters were shown from both twin's decks, including time golem, star swordsman and aquarius the star bearer
dan-dan-dan-dan dan! dan! dan! dan!
(done, done, done, done, 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
(swinging within my m-mind)
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, it causes much 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
(the urge i've got it, got it)
shingo was shown smirking while holding rocket dart striker, power dart striker and ultimate dart striker
shobu wa gachi gachi
(these battles are the truth)
reiji was shown, his glasses reflecting the light as he pushed them up his nose, showing his eyes, while in the background, his savant kepler and galilei were placed into the pendulum zones while the three d/d/d doom king armageddons hovered between them
honki reboryushon
(it's a revolution!)
time golem, star swordsman and time stallion were shown all being summoned at the same time
(jasuto burekin' 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! believe!)
time warp pendulum dragon was shown running along for a
ief moment before zooming out
eburibadi goin' kabe wo tsukiyabure!
(everybody's goin', gather your power to
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 kuriboh calling, from which twinkle kuriboh and ancient kuriboh both emerged
yua gona bito itto bito!
(you're gonna beat it beat!)
the two summoned kuribohs danced around each other happily
mugendai no fyucha mayoi wa buttobase!
(to those infinite futures, throw away your hesitation)
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, and step it up! (do it now))
sora, ayu, futoshi and tatsuya all jumped into the air happily
otanoshimi wa kore kara da! so daremo ga biriba!
(the fun has just begun! so you should come along! everyone can be 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, before it shot up into the sky and glowing trail of sparkles appearing behind it.
biribu x biribu biri-biri-biri badizu!
(believe, believe, we're 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.
3rd person pov:
yuro 525 lp, hand 2
yuko 1000 lp, hand 0
"utopic…ray xyz dragon?" yuko asked in shock as he stared at the newly summoned monster. unlike the first dragon, the second looked much fiercer, likely thanks to its dark gray armor plastered on its body. other than her dragon, yuro controlled no other cards, with just 2 cards in her hand. yuko, on the other hand, controlled just his time-warp pendulum dragon, which was boosted up by its own effect, with his moon dragon and action star in his pendulum zones.
"that's right," yuro confirmed, "this is the evolved form of my dragon, even stronger than before!"
"but my dragon still has 4600 atk," yuko pointed out "if you attack with it, it'll just be destroyed."
yuro said nothing, and simply gave a smug, confident smirk as she activated a spell
"i use gagaga recharge!" yuro said confidently activating a spell card "i banish any amount of gagaga monsters from my graveyard, and then i can attach the same amount to an xyz monster i control! i banish my gagaga chains and gagaga mancer, then attach gagaga carrier and gagaga magician to my dragon!"
from the graveyard, gagaga carrier and magician both flew out before turning into glowing golden orbs that began to circle around the dragon.
"now battle!" yuro called, "utopic ray attacks time-warp pendulum dragon!"
"all right then, your funeral!" yuko "time-warp pendulum dragon, counterattack!"
"rising chaos blast!"
"spiral vortex strike!"
both dragons unleashed glowing energy streams at one another, which collided midair. time-warp's dark red stream colliding with utopic ray's golden energy, causing energy to fly around the area, illuminating the dark streets. dark blue energy rings shot down along time-warp's energy, pushing back utopic ray as it began to be overwhelmed. yuko stepped back in alarm as some of the energy began ricocheting across the area from the sheer power both dragons were putting into the battle. whatever was going on, the energy seemed particularly real and… alive now. instead of the standard energy beam that time-warp usually shot out, this beam seemed wild, out of control, and like it could actually wipe down an entire city in a single shot. however, despite the struggle it put up, utopic ray was still subject to the rules of the game, and was quickly losing ground in its battle with time-warp.
"i activate my dragon's ability!" yuro exclaimed over the general mayhem of the dragon's attacks. "during the damage step, it gains 1000 atk for every overlay unit! it has three, so my monster gains 3000 atk! overlay charge!"
the three glowing spheres all began glowing as they launched electrical energy from them into the dragon. utopic ray roared loudly as it began glowing with energy. the electricity cracked along its wings and into its claws, causing its eyes to begin glowing violently. with a fierce roared, utopic ray began to push back time-warp pendulum dragon as its atk rose.
utopic ray xyz dragon 2500 atk - 5500 atk
time-warp was blasted backwards as it was overwhelmed by the other dragon and destroyed. yuko shouted out in pain as he, despite his dragon's best attempts to shield him, was hit with the energy blast, sending him sprawling across the ground before colliding into the nearest
ick wall. if that wasn't enough, the force of the impact knocked a nasty gash on the back of his head as blood poured out.
yuko: 1000 lp - 100 lp
"yuko!" yuzu called, her voice cracking with fear. "are you okay?"
yuzu rose back to her feet and hurried over to where yuko had landed. she knelt down next to the boy and placed her hand to his head. she winced. blood…not a good sign. although he still seemed conscious…
"please…get up" she whispered, desperate for some kind of sign of life. to her immense relief, yuko groaned as his arm shook from the effort of trying to stand. everything was burning, but he wasn't dead. yuko tried to stand back up, hand slipping and arms shaking the entire time. every molecule of his body was telling him that he was hurt and that he needed to stay down. give up.
seeing yuko's condition, yuzu first felt terrified. how had this inflicted damage this bad? even in action duels there were safeguards. but they weren't even dueling on an action field, just with duel disks. so the holograms shouldn't have been solid enough to even push yuko, let alone send him flying into a
ick wall. yuzu glared at yuro with a determined look before standing and activating her duel disk. yuro laughed bitterly.
"you?" she asked, before snorting. "you really want to duel me again? look at yourself. you can barely even stand there without shaking in your…sneakers!"
yuzu looked down, and found that, indeed, her arms were shaking. how could she not be scared? after seeing what this girl was capable of, she doubted even yugi muto himself would've stood his ground without any fear. the giant metal dragon sparking with electricity certainly didn't make it less intimidating. but…
"you've attacked me and my friends." yuzu said through gritted teeth. "i'm not just going to stand by and let you do whatever you want. this is my business too!"
yuro waited patiently for anything else before rolling her eyes. although this girl was certainly more courageous and noble than her fellow
ethren, the fact still remained that she was a fusion duelist.
"please," she said sarcastically. "this is our duel."
"couldn't agree more," yuko groaned out as he rose back to his feet, almost falling in the process. yuko placed his hand onto the edge of the
ick wall as support as he straightened himself up. "just stay back!"
"but i-" yuzu began to protest before being cut off as yuko shakily raised his arm.
"that's final," yuko said as he forcefully pushed down yuzu's duel disk arm. "this is personal!"
yuzu nodded nervously as she stepped back. yuko gulped before raising his duel disk back up. yuko let out a nervous chuckle
"i guess i underestimated you." yuko confessed with a sly, somewhat forced, smile. "it's not happening again."
yuro gave one last eye roll for good measure before continuing on with her duel.
"i next use the spell card gagagathunder!"yuro exclaimed as the spell card popped up onto the field, showing lightning bolts falling from the sky and striking gagaga magician and a young child. "i can banish any number of 'gagaga' cards from my graveyard to destroy an equal number of cards on the field. i banish gagaga recharge and gagagashield to destroy your monster in the pendulum zones!"
utopic ray roared as the lightning still crackling along its wings redirected itself right into sun dragon and action star, destroying both of them. the monsters both cried out with looks of immense pain on their faces before exploding into fragments of light. yuko begrudgingly slipped the monsters into his extra deck face-up, as per them being pendulum monsters.
"i end my turn," yuro said. "now i'm waiting. show me what pathetic display at defense you have against me."
yuko closed his eyes. his field was blank, no pendulum scales, no monsters, nothing, so unless he drew the exact right card, it was over. yuko drew, and cracked his eyes open.
yuko: 100 lp, hand 1
yuro: 525 lp, hand 0
yuko was immediately filled with an immense sense of relief as he looked over the card that he had drawn. it wouldn't win the duel, but it'd keep him in the game for a little longer.
"i activate eternal pendulum!" yuko exclaimed. "since i control neither any pendulum monsters on my field or pendulum zones, i can add all face-up pendulum monsters from my extra deck to my hand!"
with the exception of time imp (who returned to face-down in the extra deck instead), yuko pulled the monsters from his extra deck and placed them in his hand.
"now i'll set my pendulum scales with scale 4 time-rush serpent and scale 10 sun dragon!" yuko exclaimed before spreading out the two cards on his duel disk.
time rush serpent lv4/light/dragon/pendulum/p.s. 4/effect/atk1400/def1200
sun dragon lv8light/dragon/pendulum/effect/p.s. 10/atk3000/def2800
"now i can pendulum summon any monsters from levels 5 through 9, all at the same time!" yuko chanted "swing, pendulum of souls! draw an arc of light across the ether! pendulum summon! appear now! my monster!"
the single beam of light shot down from above and crashed on the ground, forming into a dragon-shape, that being yuko's ace dragon. time-warp was (understandably) not very pleased about being destroyed the previous turn, and gave a rather aggressive roar at the other dragon, who just roared back with equal rage.
time-warp pendulum dragon lv7/dark/dragon/pendulum/effect/p.s. 4/atk2500/def2000
"don't really have much else to do, so i end my turn." yuko said as he wiped a bead of sweat off his forehead. cries averted. yuro smirked before drawing a card.
yuro: 525 lp, hand 1
yuko: 100 lp, hand 1
"i think this duel seems to be getting a bit boring, don't you?" yuro asked. "i think we both need a refresher, so i activate the cards from heaven!"
a spell appeared onto the field that showed coins falling from the sky and a crowd of people all reaching up to grab them.
"now we can both draw cards until we have 6 in our hand" yuro said coins began to fall from the sky across the battlefield. yuzu grabbed one out of curiosity, only for it to vanish as she did. yuro drew six new cards, as yuko drew five cards to make his hand six as well. with her hand refreshed, yuro looked over her cards and smirked.
"with this, this duel is in the bag!" yuro exclaimed. "i begin with the spell card gagagareturn!"
a spell appeared onto the field, showing gagaga magician, a young blonde girl in a magician's outfit and another girl with long orange hair tied in pigtails all flying down from a portal in the sky.
"this lets me return all my banished 'gagaga' monsters to my graveyard," yuro said. "so return to me my monsters!"
the same portal from the artwork appeared above the duelists, as a similar one appeared below. gagaga samurai, cowboy, and mancer all descended down from the hole and into the portal below, returning to the graveyard.
"next i activate the second effect of gagagareturn!" yuro shouted "i banish it from my graveyard to special summon 1 of my gagaga monsters! come back, gagaga samurai!"
from the graveyard portal, gagaga samurai leaped out and landed on his feet, nimbly landing and holding his blade out in front of himself.
gagaga samurai rnk4/earth/warrior/xyz/effect/atk1900/def1600
"battle!" yuro exclaimed "utopic ray xyz dragon, annihilate time-warp pendulum dragon! rising chaos blast!"
the metallic dragon let out a roar before blasting an explosive stream of chaos energy at the other dragon, obliterating it and leaving yuko's field wide open. this time, yuko remembered to duck for cover before he could receive a second energy beam to the face. yuko let out a grin.
"just what i was waiting for!" yuko exclaimed "i activate the pendulum effect of sun dragon! when you destroy a pendulum monster by battle, i can destroy that monster and inflict half its atk to you as damage! nova flame!"
from the pendulum zone, the dragon roared and shot a flaming stream of energy out that collided with the metal dragon, who roared but was otherwise unaffected. sun dragon seemed to be putting in as much effort it could, to seemingly no effect on the opposing dragon.
"by detaching an overlay unit, i can prevent my monster's destruction" yuro explained. one of utopic ray's overlay units spun around itself and in the process swept up all the flames into itself, before popping like a full balloon.
"now gagaga samurai, attack directly and finish him off!" yuro exclaimed "katana cleave!"
the samurai leaped forward into action, holding out his blades as he readied himself for a decisive blow. however, the blow never came, and was blocked by a girl with blond hair inside of a red crystal with a clock emblem on it. the girl stuck her tongue out, taunting the samurai, who look understandably annoyed.
time crystalizer lv3/light/spellcaster/pendulum/p.s. 3/effect/atk0/def500
"sorry to burst your bubble, but when you gave me those cards, i drew my time crystalizer!" yuko said as he gave the girl a triumphant high-five. "when you declare a direct attack, i can summon her to stop that and end your battle phase!"
yuro sighed as she ran her hands through her hair and took a casual glance at her watch.
"i suppose it'll be fun to watch you squirm around for one more turn." yuro said with a humorless chuckle. "i set a card facedown before ending my turn."
yuko drew a card to begin his turn, with the turn counter changing accordingly. thanks to yuro's card he now had 6 cards to work with in his hand, so he could hopeful put up a better defense.
yuko: 100 lp, hand 6
yuro: 525 lp, hand 4
yuko took a
ief glance over the cards in his hand before locking onto one with a wince. it was risky, but he had an idea.
"all right, here goes!" yuko exclaimed "i activate the continues spell overclocking!"
the overwound clock appeared up above between yuko's pendulum zones, causing them to rapidly spin in place. yuko winced as his life points were cut in half by the effect, infusing the energy into the watch.
yuko: 100 lp - 50 lp
"what does that do?" yuro asked yuko, who ignored her and moved on with his turn
"now i can overclock pendulum any monsters from levels 5 through 9!" yuko exclaimed "swing, pendulum of souls! swing faster and faster, and enter a new era! overclock pendulum! emerge! my monsters!"
instead of the normal portal forming, a different portal formed with the overclocking clock above it. the portal spun rapidly in circles, causing wind to pick up. yuko, yuzu and yuro's hair all waved in the wind as glowing energy spirals shot out of the portal and onto the field. time-warp pendulum dragon stomped its feet and let out a roar as origin landed atop time-warp's head. the dragon shook its head like a dog, shaking the magician off, who simply just began floating instead.
time-warp pendulum dragon lv7/dark/dragon/pendulum/effect/p.s. 4/atk2500/def2000
time gear - origin lv7/dark/spellcaster/fusion/effect/atk2500/def2100
"overclock pendulum, huh?" yuro muttered before giving an eye roll. "i'm not surprised that you decided to pull out some stupid convoluted card from your deck to save you at the last second, to be honest."
"it's not stupid or convoluted!" yuko protested vehemently. "it makes perfect sense and works perfectly well!"
"then prove it." yuro dared as she gestured to her dragon. "beat me with it, and maybe i'll acknowledge it."
"and will you listen to our story?" yuzu asked as she crossed her arms. yuro just gave out a sigh and shrugged.
"i'll consider it."
yuko and yuzu looked at each other and nodded. yuko turned back to face the field as he prepared for his plan. out of origin's effects, there were a few that might work…namely…
"i use time gear origin's 6th effect!" yuko exclaimed "i can negate the effects of a card you control until the end phase! i choose your dragon! navigate dark!"
one of the orbs circling origin flew down and was absorbed into his staff. the magician waved his staff around, causing a dark cloud to form around the field, engulfing utopic ray xyz dragon, which roared as it tried to shake away the dark smog to no avail.
"battle!" yuko shouted. "origin will attack utopic ray xyz dragon! cursed magic strike!"
the magician darted forward and blasted down a barrage of black energy at the dragon. however, suddenly the energy redirected itself midair and hit gagaga samurai, who had bent down onto one knee and sheathed his sword.
"i used gagaga samurai's effect" yuro explained. "when you declare an attack, by switching him into defense position, i can make him become the new attack target."
"i've still got another attack!" yuko "time warp! attack utopic ray xyz dragon with spiral vortex strike!"
the dragon leaped into the air before unleashing a
ight energy stream at the xyz dragon, who unleashed its own energy blast to counter time-warp's.
"since utopic ray xyz dragon has gagaga carrier as an overlay unit, it can't be destroyed by battle!" yuro said smugly. utopic ray pushed back as its energy beam began to physically push time-warp back, carving gashes into the pavement as the dragon's claws dug in.
yuko just gave a little smirk before patting time-warp on the shoulder and diving away.
"but my dragon can!"
yuro's eyes widened as sure enough, yuko's dragon was overwhelmed and destroyed in the energy clash.
"and that activates sun dragon's ability to destroy your dragon!" yuko reminded "nova flame!"
from the pendulum zone, sun dragon launched a barrage of fire at the metallic dragon. utopic ray roared as it batted the flames away with its wings, trying to save itself. yuro shot her monster a concerned glance before gesturing to the field.
"i activate my facedown card!" yuro exclaimed in shock "xyz shield! i choose an xyz monster i control, and that monster can't be destroyed until the end phase!"
the flames uselessly dispersed around the golden dome that formed around utopic ray, preventing the monster's destruction. yuro
eathed a sigh of relief as her dragon was safe.
"i set one card face down and end my turn…" yuko said as the reverse card appeared at his feet "and now origin's effect ends and utopic ray regains its effects. additionally, i pay half my life points as per the cost of overclocking."
the black smog cleared from the dragon's body and its wings and eyes glowed as its effects were restored. yuko winced again as his lp dropped.
yuko: 50 lp - 25 lp
"see?" yuro pointed out in a bored tone. "it's gimmicky, convoluted and pointless."
"r-rank up?" yema asked in confusion. "what in the world is that?"
"your doom" shun answered simply. "blaze falcon can attack my opponent directly! go blaze falcon! raptor's
eak of thunderclap!"
the falcon screeched as it swooped in, claws extended as it prepared to take out yema. yema hissed as the falcon's talons scraped across her forearm, leaving a gash along it
yema: 1950 lp - 950 lp
"when blaze falcon inflict battle damage, i can destroy a monster you control!" shun exclaimed "electrostatic blaze!"
blaze falcon soared over the field, raining seemingly endless bombs onto the field. yema screamed out as she felt the nearly overwhelming heat and explosions rain down from above. however, star-strike raised its wings, protecting yema from the bombs as it erupted into flames.
"i set 1 card facedown before ending my turn." shun said, placing the card onto his duel disk. "now let's see what you have."
"m-my turn," yema groaned out, barely able to feel her fingers. "i draw!"
yema: 950 lp, hand 2
shun: 400 lp, hand 2
yema flexed her hands a few times, feeling slowly returning. she shot a nervous glance at blaze falcon. what kind of power was that if she could feel its attacks without solid vision? was her opponent some crazy egyptian psycho with magic powers or something?
"i pendulum summon again!" yema exclaimed. "swing, pendulum of destiny! swing further and further, and transcend limits! overscale pendulum! emerge! my monsters!"
the palm of yema's hand glowed as she held it upwards, a pillar of light shooting up into the sky. a portal formed between the two magicians, from which twin spires of light shot down. star-strike roared as it hovered just above the ground, only to look slightly irritated as it was completely overshadowed by the much larger astro assault.
star-strike pendulum dragon lv6/light/dragon/pendulum/effect/p.s. 4/atk2500/def2000
astro assault pendulum dragon lv8/light/dragon/pendulum/effect/p.s. 4/atk3800/def1600
"now an overscale pendulum summon?" shun asked in slight confusion. "how many strange tricks do you have up your sleeve?"
"enough to beat you!" yema exclaimed. "i activate astro assault's effect! i can banish 1 card you control! so say bye to blaze falcon! end of the shadows!"
the large dragon unleashed a massive energy blast of light at the falcon from its jaws. blaze falcon raised its wings in an attempt to deflect the energy away, but was pushed back. shun just glanced up, seemingly unconcerned with the turn of events.
"i activate my facedown card raidraptor - veil!" shun declared in response. the reverse card opened and displayed a rise falcon behind a glowing shield that was deflecting missiles away. just like in the artwork, a glowing shield formed in front of blaze falcon that deflected away astro assault's energy. "until the end phase, my raidraptor monsters can't be targeted by card effects or destroyed by them!"
"then i'll do it by battle!" yema exclaimed. "astro assault pendulum dragon will attack blaze falcon! cosmic solar blast!"
the dragon roared as it unleashed a
ight energy flare that his blaze falcon head on. the falcon let out a screech as it tried to defend itself.
"i banish raidraptor - veil from my graveyard," shun responded calmly. "i banish it and another raidraptor monster from my graveyard, then, until the end phase, my raidraptor monsters can't be destroyed by battle and i take no battle damage! i banish a vanishing lanius!"
another barrier formed around blaze falcon, bouncing back astro assault's energy away, leaving both the monster and duelist unharmed. yema stamped her foot in frusteration and anger.
"i end my turn." yema said as her dragons landed back beside her. yema bit her nails nervously. whoever (or whatever) this guy was, the solid vision was strange. normally solid vision was…well…solid, but it shouldn't be able to cause pain. plus, they only had duel disks, so how was it that these monsters were somehow solid and could inflict real damage?
"i'm sorely disappointed." yuro admitted, "for some reason, i expected more from you to be honest. i draw!"
yuro 525 lp, hand 5
yuko: 25 lp, hand 4
"first i activate gagagarising!" yuro exclaimed as she raised the spell, showing gagaga magician rising from a crack in the earth surrounded by glowing light. "i revive gagaga mancer from the my graveyard!"
the ground cracked open and gagaga mancer rose from the crack and landed onto the field. the man crouched down onto a defensive stance as he held his staff in front of him, trying not to shake too much as he faced down the much more powerful looking origin.
gagaga mancer lv4/dark/spellcaster/effect/atk100/def100
"and now i activate gagaga mancer's ability!" yuro said, "i resurrect gagaga magician from my graveyard!"
gagaga mancer held up his staff before stabbing it into the ground, which caused the ground to crack apart as gagaga magician rose up with his arms crossed. gagaga magician gave mancer a nod of respect as his hands began crackling with energy.
gagaga magician lv4/dark/spellcaster/effect/atk1500def1000
"now i overlay gagaga mancer and magician!" yuro exclaimed. "peerless marksman from the peaceful land, come now and aid me in this fight! aim true with your arrows of truth! xyz summon! rank 4! gagaga archer!"
the two magicians both turned into pure energy that spiraled upwards into a portal, which flashed with energy. from the portal, a man descended down, wearing an orange helmet with matching shoulder pads and light leather armor. in his hands, the man clutched a golden bow, with a quiver of silver-tipped arrows hanging on his hip. the man crouched into a kneeling position as he held his bow at the ready.
gagaga archer rnk4/dark/warrior/xyz/effect/atk1800/def2000
"i activate gagaga archer's ability!" yuro said. "by using an overlay unit, i can banish 1 monster you control until my next standby phase! i choose your time crystalizer! arrow of truth!"
the archer launched a glowing arrow straight at the girl, who was consumed into a vortex of energy.
"and since i detached gagaga mancer, an xyz monster i control gains 500 atk until the end phase!" yuro exclaimed "i choose utopic ray!"
the dragon glowed as its atk shot up slightly. this was visualized as the dragon's claws began to crackle with electricity as the beast roared at its opponent.
utopic ray xyz dragon 2500 atk - 3000 atk
"now finish this duel!" yuro called "rising chaos blast!"
utopia ray unleashed a massive energy blast straight at origin, who stood his ground without flinching…as hard as that was.
utopic ray xyz dragon 3000 atk - 5000 atk
"i activate kuriboh calling!" yuko interjected. "this lets me add 1 'kuri' monster from my deck to my hand! i select ancient kuriboh!"
yuko plucked a card that was ejected from his deck. yuro just gave another smug smirk.
"adding a card to your hand doesn't matter," she said. "the attack will still continue!"
"actually, it's your attack that doesn't matter!" yuko said. "i activate the effect of ancient kuriboh! i place it into my spell and trap card zone face-up to negate the damage i would take!"
just as origin was destroyed by the massive energy blast, a dark blue kuriboh appeared onto the field and absorbed the energy that was shot by utopic ray, before inflating like a balloon. yuko grinned and rubbed the kuriboh's head, who squealed happily.
"plus, as long as ancient kuriboh is on the field, i take no more damage," yuko said with a confident smile. "if it gets destroyed before two turns are up, i take the damage i would have. but in two turns i can destroy ancient kuriboh manually and inflict that negated damage to you!"
"then i'll have to just end the duel before then" yuro said, equally as smug. "i set two cards and end my turn"
"it's my turn!" yuko exclaimed, "i draw!"
yuko: 25 lp, hand 5
yuro: 525 lp, hand 3
"i want to ask you something," yuko said a
uptly, causing both yuzu and yuro to look at him curiously, "first off, who are you? also, why are you doing this?"
yuro glared as yuko fiercely.
"revenge," yuro said, like it was the most normal thing to drive a person in the world. "you scum took everything from us!"
"i told you, i don't know what you're talking about," yuko insisted. "what in the world happened to you?"
"if you insist on continuing your charade, then i guess i'll explain," yuro said bitterly. "you fusion scum invaded our home and carded us all!"
"i think you have the wrong person" yuko said, waving his hands in front of him. "i have no clue what you're saying!"
yuro growled as her hands formed into fists. yuko leaned away in an attempt to escape whatever explosion would inevitably follow.
"shut up!"yuro screamed as her eyes glowed
ight orange. "i know what i saw! you were pretending to be him! you took her away!"
"wanna stop playing the pronoun game?" yuko jokingly attempted before deciding to just end the duel as quickly as possible. preferably before he died.
"i pendulum summon!" yuko exclaimed "swing, pendulum of souls! draw an arc of light across the ether! pendulum summon! appear now! my monster!"
yuko's hand glowed as he raised it into the air. from his fingertips, blue energy shot out, forming into a spiraling portal in the air. a giant version of yuko's pendant appeared and swung back and forth across the portal. a large, single column of gold energy shot down, forming into time-warp pendulum dragon on the ground, who let out a massive roar.

"i was waiting for you to do that you idiot!" yuro said with a wicked sneer, "i activate my facedown card! restoration miracle!"
yuro's trap opened, showing a boy with a duel disk drawing a card from his deck which glowed
ight gold.
"this negates the effects of all face-up cards you control, plus it reduces the atk of your monsters to 0!" yuro said as the same gold glow engulfed all cards on yuko's field, causing time-rush serpent and sun dragon both to be entangled in red glowing chains. time-warp pendulum dragon was tied up by blue chains that also drained its energy

"then in exchange you can add 1 banished card or a card from your graveyard to your hand." yuro said. yuko frowned before looking through his banished zone and adding a card to his hand.
"ok then, i normal summon time guardian!" yuko said as the armored warrior appeared onto the field. the warrior glanced at time-warp with slight concern and raised its sword, ready for battle.

"now i activate ancient fusion!" yuko exclaimed, revealing the card he added to his hand. yuro simply growled at the mere mention of fusion. "this let's me…"
yuko trailed off as he saw yuro's feral glare. yuko let out a gulp before he held out his hand towards his monsters.
"i fuse time-warp pendulum dragon and time guardian!" yuko said as his two monsters were combined into a portal as he clasped his hands. "guardian of the timestream, become the spirit of courage and dwell in the heart of the dragon! fusion summon! come forth!
ave dragon with the blazing eyes of courage! time-warp
aving dragon!"
the dragon emerged onto the field and let out a huge roar. flames spouted from the ground beneath it as the ground shook from the force of the dragon. both time-warp rush serpent and sun dragon let out roars of support to
aving dragon who snarled at utopic ray. utopic ray responded with an equally ferocious roar

"when
aving dragon is fusion summoned, it gains atk equal to half the atk of the warrior monster!" yuko declared "time guardian had 1400 atk, so
aving dragon gains 700! flareburst spirit!"
aving dragon stomped its feet again as flames sprouted up around it, engulfing the dragon as its atk rose
