The Next Day
I, along with You Show crew currently on the class, with Shuzo doing his best to teach us about Duel Monsters. Yuzu was still somewhere in her mind due to how resemblance Yuto had with Yuya while the others feels so boring today, and I could understand why...
"And that's how to Tribute Summon!" Shuzo said.
I know he is trying at his best to teach us, but come on! Everyone knows the basics of Tribute Summoning.
"This is boring!" Futoshi said.
"Yeah! We already know how to Tribute Summon!" Tatsuya added. Then he turned to me. "How about Mizael nii-chan gives the teaching for today?!"
"Me? Are you sure?" I'm not good at teaching to be honest. But the kids looked at me with begging smile on their face, once again something that I can't resist.
"Come on Mizael, you told me you know much about Extra Deck Summoning. You should go." Sora said.
"Okay then. Since everyone insist, I'll teach you everything I know." I sighed as I got up from my chair and went behind from the front desk.
"Okay. First, let's move to Ritual Summon. To Ritual Summon, you must had three things: A Ritual Spell Card, Ritual Monster in your hand and the appropriates Monster in your hand or field. Then you activate your Ritual Spell Card to send those appropriates Monster to the Graveyard whose Levels must be equal or greater than the Levels of Ritual Monster you wanna Summon. That's the most Common way to Ritual Summon. Does anyone have any question to this summoning?"
Yuya raised his hand.
"Yes, Yuya?"
"You said that was the most common way to do Ritual Summon. There are the others?" Yuya asked.
"Yes, Yuya. Some of Archtype that focused on Ritual Summon can used the Ritual Material from the Graveyard or directly from your Deck like Nekroz or Gishki. Also, there's Archtype that can Ritual Summon without Ritual Spell." I explained as everyone gasped in shock at my explanation.
"Ritual Summon without Ritual Spell?!" Sora yelled in shock. "To think that way of Ritual Summon exist..."
"That Archtype must be so rare." Yuya added.
"Okay, let's move on to Fusion Summon. To Fusion Summon, you need three things. A Fusion Spell Card, Fusion Monster in your Extra Deck, and the appropriates Monster as material from your field or hand. Then you activate the Fusion Spell card to sent those material to your graveyard and summon the Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. That's the most common way to Fusion Summon."
"Most common way again?" Yuya asked.
"Yes. Archetypes focused on Fusion Summon usually have their own Fusion Spells allowing them to send the Fusion Materials from the Deck to graveyard, banish them from the graveyard or shuffle back the banished monsters to the deck. Also, there are some Monsters that have effect to allowing you to Fusion Summon, most of them using themself." I explained as Yuya nodded.
"To close the chapter of Fusion Summon, there is also an advance way to Fusion Summon called Contact Fusion." Everyone seemed interested, especially Sora. Even he know what Contact Fusion is but he still surprise that I had knowledge of this. Especially since I was Xyz User, he must be alarmed.
"Monster that have ability to Contact Fusion doesn't need a Fusion Spell card. All you need to do is shuffle those Monsters from the field back to your Deck or sent it to Graveyard or Banish them. Then, you can Summon that Fusion Monster from your extra deck." I explained as Sora raised his hand.
"Yes Sora?"
"Did you ever face duelists that could use Contact Fusion?" Sora asked curiously.
"I knew a person who mastered Contact Fusion. But, I've never faced him." I answered.
"Who is he?" Sora asked again.
"That's story for another time." I responded, make him pouted.
"Next is Synchro Summon. To perfrom Synchro Summon, you need a tuner monster and any number of non-tuner monsters on your field. Then you tune those monsters and then you Synchro Summon a monsters with a level equal to the combined levels of your Synchro Materials. Example, I want to Synchro Summon a level 7 Synchro Monster and I have level 4 tuner Monster on my field, I either need one level 3 monster or one level 2 monster and one level 1 monster or three level 1 monsters that aren't tuner on my field." I explained as they nodded in understanding.
"Like Fusion Summon, there are two advanced ways to Synchro Summon: Accel Synchro and Double Tuning. Double tuning is Synchro Summon when you use two tuner Monsters instead of one tuner Monster but it only works if your Synchro Monster specifically requires two tuner Monsters to Summon it." I explained. "While Accel Synchro is Synchro Summon when you use one tuner Synchro Monster and at least one non-tuner Synchro Monster that also specifically need those materials."
"Wait a second! There are Synchro Tuner Monster?!" Sora asked in surprise as the others was surprise too.
"Yeah. Synchro Tuner Monster is exist. It usually doesn't have high ATK and DEF but it have powerful effect. Some Synchro Tuner Monster even have ability to Synchro Summon in your opponent turn." I explained as Ayu raised her hand.
"Yes Ayu ?"
"Did you faced duelists that use those two Synchro Summoning method?"
"Yes, I have. And it was not pleased." I answered as she nodded.
"Now the last of the four and my favorite type of Summoning Xyz Summon." At the mentioned of Xyz Summon, Yuzu began to follow the lesson as Sora look displease.
"To perform a Xyz Summon, you need to have a certain number of monsters who have same level on the Field, depending how many your Xyz monster requies, then Overlay them to Summon an Xyz Monster with a rank equals to the monsters Level used for Xyz Materials while those monsters turned to Overlay Units." I explained as Futoshi raised his hand.
"Yes Futoshi?"
"What are ranks? Does Xyz monster doesn't have Levels?"
"Xyz monsters doesn't have Levels. Instead, they had a black stars on their left side called Ranks. This gave Xyz monsters a immune on effect that affecting Levels. There is a rumour about Xyz monsters being Level 0 monsters but that's not true." I explained as Futoshi nodded.
"What are Overlay unit?" Yuzu asked.
"Monsters that used as Xyz Materials doesn't leave the field. They attached to your Xyz monster as orb of light. Normally, if Xyz monster wants to use their effect, they must detaching at least one overlay unit. But, there are some Xyz Monster that don't need to detach Overlay unit to activate it's effect. Galaxy-Eyes Solflare Dragon is the example." I answered as Yuzu nodded.
"Like Fusion and Synchro, there are advance ways to Xyz Summoning. It's called Rank-Up-Magic. Rank-Up-Magic is a spell card used on Xyz monster to summon another Xyz monster with a couple of times higher than your previous one, using that Xyz monster as materials. Also, there are some Xyz monsters that can be Summoned by Overlaying another Xyz monster and used them as Overlay unit." I explained as Yuya raised his hand.
"Yes Yuya?"
"You can use Rank-Up-Magic?" Yuya asked.
"Yes, I can." I answered as he nodded. Then Tatsuya raised his hand.
"Yes Tatsuya?"
"How do you know this much about Summoning Method? Are you perhaps joining another Duel school before you came here?" Tatsuya asked.
"As I said at our first met, I didn't join any Duel school before I came here. I am learning by myself." I answered as everyone surprise at my statement.
"Really? Learning by yourself?" Yuya asked, disbelief at my statement.
"Yeah. When I'm 9, my best friend introduced me about Duel Monster game. I remember I search everything about it until I got my first Deck. After that, I challenge her to Duel and as you expect, I lose so badly. After that, I keep learning and learning and now, I became someone who knows everything about Duel Monster and Summoning Method." I explained with a thin smile on my face. Everyone noticed it and wonder why I'm smile.
"Well I think that's enough. Thank you for listening." I bowed as everyone clapped their hand. The mood were good until...
"Ambush you say?! Yuya never do something cowardly like that!"
"Gongenzaka?!" Yuya asked in surprise.
Everyone headed to the source of the sound and found Gongenzaka arguing with three Sawatari goons.
"What's going on here?" Shuzo asked.
"Principal! I, the man Gongenzaka, was on the way to You Show when I saw the three goons of this Sawatari. They said that Yuya was ambushed Sawatari! That's unforgivable!" Gongenzaka explained.
"Ambushed?!" Shuzo said in shocked.
"I did?!" Yuya said in the same shocked as Shuzo.
"Yes! And don't say you forget about it!" Underlings 1 said.
"And it wasn't just us! Six people witnessed the tragedy! Us three, Sawatari-san, Hiragi Yuzu and Kuroba Mizael!" Underlings 2 added.
"Is true Yuzu, Mizael? You saw the culprit?" Shuzo asked.
"Of course they did! The culprit is Sakaki Yuya!" Underlings 3 said.
"Poor Sawatari-san. He's got hospitalized because the injuried." Underlings 3 added, faking the saddened.
"Hospitalized?!" Yuya asked in shocked.
"Are you three are done?" I asked in annoyance, making everyone turned at me.
"What do you say?!" Underlings 1 asked angrily. "Are Sawatari-san's life is not important to you?!"
"Nope, because you three lie about the story. First, Sawatari was not injuried at all. Only his jacket got damaged and I bet he's just chilling in hospital rightnow." I said the three underlings grunted.
"Second, about the culprit. He has same face as Yuya? Yes. But what about the other details? I remember he had grey colored eyes, a black and purple hair, different outfit, use Phantom Knights Deck and can use Xyz summoning while Yuya was unable to use it. Unless you three are completely color blind or Yuya can use magic to change his appearance instantly, there was no way to think it was Yuya. And the fact Yuzu was with Yuya all the way back to the warehouse and I Dueled the culprit was more proof that culprit isn't Yuya. And to be honest, Sawatari deserve it." I explained as the underlings surprise.
"What do you mean?" Underling 3 asked.
"Oh I don't know. Maybe the fact that Sawatari was the first who attacking Yuya? Stealing his Pendulum Cards? and Dueling him with children's life at stake?!" I asked sarcasstically. "After all the crime he did, a Jail should be the perfect place to him. Yuzu, you also saw everything right ?"
"Well..." Yuzu said unsurely.
"Come on Yuzu! I already told you! You said that you are Yuya's best friend! So why you don't even recognize Yuya has 'Tomato' hair and Yuto has 'Eggplant' hair?!" I thought irritatedly, I started to think that everyone in this show have color blind.
"But still we will not let you get away with this!" Underling 2 declared.
"So, you want to do this in the hard way? Be my guest." I said in menacing tone as I cracked my fist. I dashed to them and punch the three goons on the face.
"Ugh!" The three underlings exclaimed in pain.
"You three idiots better go now...before I consider to break that ribs of yours." I said menacingly, making three Sawatari's underlings run in fear.
"Mizael nii-chan can be very scary sometimes." Ayu said in fear as everyone nodded in agreement. Even Gongenzaka.
"Someone please tell me what happen!" Shuzo said as everyone giving him an annoyed look.
"Allow me to explain to you."
Everyone turned around and saw luxurious limo arrived with a woman coming out. She looked like a serious and fancy woman with a scary looking expression.
"You're LDS Chairwoman!" Shuzo exclaimed in shocked.
"Yes. I'm Himika Akaba, the current Chairwoman of LDS." Himika introduced.
"Great, the things got worse." I thought with a sigh. This gonna be a LONG day.
You Show Main Room
"Everything our student's said was true. The culprit who attack Sawatari was none other than Sakaki Yuya." Himika explained.
"I never assault Sawatari!" Yuya said in a strong tone.
"I, the man Gongenzaka, believe my friend Yuya!" Gongenzaka said firmly.
"Yuya nii-chan never do such a thing like that!" Ayu added as the other kids nodded in agreement.
"Yuzu?" Gongenzaka asked, making Yuzu surprise. She was not sure it was Yuya or not. But, after listening what I said earlier, She was sure the culprit isn't Yuya.
"I believe in you Yuya!" Yuzu said with a smile on her face.
"Like I said before, it wasn't Yuya who attack Sawatari. So without doubt I believe Yuya." I said firmly.
"Oh my, you all have strong bound. Also Mizael-kun has given a solid argument that even I believe the culprit wasn't Sakaki Yuya. But, we cannot back down from this either." Himika commented, making everyone turned at her. "If the news spread that LDS student lose the duel, LDS reputation as number 1 Duel School in the world would be down to the ground."
"But Yuya isn't-" Shuzo tried to explain but Himika interupped him.
"That doesn't matter anymore! The issue is that the symbol of LDS has been down to the ground! And the only way to clear this disgrace is the showdown between the school!" Himika explained with furious expression.
"A showdown?!" Shuzo asked in disbelief.
"That's not your real goal isn't it?" I suddenly asked, making Himika turned at me.
"Excuse me?"
"Your real goal is Yuya's Pendulum Summoning for LDS. And you using Sawatari ancident as an excuse to take over this school and Yuya's Pendulum Cards. Am I right?" I asked sharply as everyone remain silent in shocked.
"You are smarter than I thought Mizael-kun. Perhaps Reiji-san is right about you." Himika admitted as she remembering what Reiji told her this morning.
LDS Office
"The son of Yusho Sakaki created a new summoning method? The same Yusho Sakaki that could have join our enemy?" Himika asked. After arriving back to the Maiami Airport after some business trip, she got message from Reiji that explained everything happened since her trip.
"We aren't sure if Yusho-sensei was join with enemy." Reiji answered as he showing my profile to his mother.
"Kuroba Mizael, the 16 years old boy who also attend You Show Duel School. He only dueled thrice and he won all the duels, what's interesting about this boy?" She asked her son.
"He's a Xyz Duelist. But, his Xyz monsters are not normal. Everytime he Xyz Summon, a huge amount of energy is released." Reiji answered as Himika hardened her expression.
"A Xyz duelist? Is he from-?" Himika wants to ask but get interupped by her son.
"We have suspicious he's from Xyz Dimension but we aren't sure yet. He looked like an ally but we can't lowered our guard." Reiji then showed more detail about me. "His deck focused on LIGHT Attribute Warrior-Type Monsters that has ability to swarm his Monsters on the field very quickly. His Deck contains a lot of Level 4 Monsters and he clearly knows how to use his Monsters to its potential. His Xyz monsters consists of LIGHT Warrior and Dragon-Type Monsters. And I can tell he's hiding his full power when he Duels." Reiji explained as Himika was really intrigued with this new Duelist. Then Reiji show something interesting.
"His ace monster is called Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. He only Summon this Monster twice, but that's enough to make our system overheated." Reiji explained as Himika was shocked.
"I must admitted this Kuroba Mizael was interesting." Himika said with smirk on her face.
"If we manage to bring him to LDS, we might get change to figure his true origin." Reiji explained as the topic changed to Sawatari and the dark Duelist.
You Show Main Room
"So he already spying me. Good thing I didn't show my Rank 8 Xyz Monsters yet." I thought.
"If your school win, we will forget Sawatari case. But If LDS win, You Show Duel School will be part of LDS." Himika stated as everyone shocked hearing that.
"Don't tell me all Sawatari case was planned out for this purpose?" Shuzo asked.
"No. But it's true that we took a full advantage. A change to make Pendulum Summoning as one of our curriculum besides Fusion, Synchro and Xyz Summoning. Besides, there's a couple of Duelists who also want to use Pendulum Summoning as well. Isn't you three want to use it too?" Himika asked the three children.
"Well we want. But, we can't do it without Yuya nii-chan's Pendulum Cards." Tatsuya answered.
"Well that won't be the case. With power of Leo Corporation, we can create them. That's the reason we want to unite." Himika said.
"Dueling isn't tool for fighting! But I don't want You Show or Pendulum Cards to be taken by someone else! My father created this school to bring entertaiment and smiles to everyone! There's no way I'll give it to someone who thinks they can rule everything with money and power!" Yuya declared.
"Well said Yuya! I, the man Gongenzaka will fight with you!" Gongenzaka declared with pride.
"But aren't you an outsider?" Sora asked as Gongenzaka freeze in shocked with mouth open. "It would make sense if Yuya, Yuzu and me to fight. Or even Mizael if we pinched to the wall. Besides, I want to face an LDS student myself."
"To think you would exclude the man Gongenzaka! That's unforgivable!" The bulky man complained.
"Then it's settle Chairwoman Akaba... we won't hand over You Show!" Everyone except me yelled in unison.
The chairwoman grinned. "Very well then, shall we begin?"
You Show Duel School - Duel Arena
We moved to Real Solid Vision Arena, where LDS introduced their Top Duelist of their respectives Summoning Course. The Characters that we no longer heard or appeared after Standard Arc: Shijima Hokuto, Kotsu Masumi and Todo Yaiba.
"It will be three on three match. The first who get 2 wins will be victorious. Is that clear?" Himika asked as everyone nodded. "Very well, then who will go first?"
"Me!" Sora said as he raised his hand but Yuya stopped him.
"Sorry Sora, but I will go first." Yuya said.
"My, you seems reliable than the others. It will the best choice for-" Himika said before Sora interupped him.
"Hold on! You don't know how strong I am old granny! I-" Sora tried to protest, but Yuzu calm him down.
"Stop it Sora. You can Duel next." Yuzu said as Sora pouted.
"Then your opponent will be Hokuto Shijima from Xyz Course!" Himika declared as Hokuto come to duel field with his arrogant attitude.
Tatsuya checked Hokuto's dueling history, much to his shock. "58 duels with 53 wins?! His ratio is over 90%!" Then Yuzu, Gongenzaka and three kids looked at Yuya's with worried on their face.
I approached Yuya to give him motivation. "Don't worry Yuya. You can beat him. His arrogant attitude will be his downfall."
"Thanks Mizael. I will win this duel no matter what!" Yuya declared with smile on his face as he go to Duel field and the Duel started.
The Duel ended like in the Anime. Even Hokuto was dominating the field with his Constellar Monster. In the end, Yuya outclevered him by using Stargazer Magician effect and Magical Star Illusion to counter Constellar's effect.
"Told ya you will win this." I said casually as Yuya rubbed his back hair. "Hehehe... thanks for believe in me Mizael."
"Shall we continued? Pick your next student please." Himika asked, displeased that her student lost.
"I'll go next!" Yuzu said with great fighting spirit. "I will win this Duel!" Yuzu said with determined look.
"Ok then. Go for it Yuzu!" Yuya cheering her as she blushed a bit. I saw this scene and decide to tease her a bit.
"Someone burning." I teased her as she blushed furiously.
"MIZAEL!" Yuzu yelled.
After that the Duel start. Yuzu Dueled Kotsu Masumi. Yuzu had a good start by summoning her ace monster in her first turn. But, Masumi instantly took over the advantage with her Gem-Knight Fusion Monsters. Yuzu tried to take an Action Cards but it only a reflection and Masumi beat her.
"You two are giving quite the show." Masumi said with a smirk as she saw Yuzu hugged Yuya and buried her face into Yuya's chest. Yuzu instantly pushed Yuya on the floor as her face become really red.
"And they said they are just friends..." I muttered.
"I'm sorry everyone. This is an important Duel... and I couldn't..." Yuzu apologized with tears on her eyes as I placed his hand on her shoulder, making her looked at me.
"It's okay Yuzu. Defeat is not something to be ashamed of. You can learn a lot of thing when you lose. Remember this advice: You can't win until you're not afraid to lose."
"Mizael is right." Yuya added. "We just need to win the next Duel."
"Just need to win the next duel? You make it sound too easy." Yaiba said, little offended. "Now which one of you are my opponent ?"
"Sora, now it's your turn! We are counting on you!" Gongenzaka yelled.
"I think I'll pass. I hate this situation. How about you you go instead Gon-chan?" Sora offered.
"Gon-chan?! To call the man Gongenzaka- wait, what did you say Sora?" Gongenzaka yelled before realized what Sora said.
"If you want to fight instead of me, then go ahead." Sora said as he sucked his lollipop.
"You want save You Show as everyone else. Then do it." I said.
"We're counting on you Gongenzaka!" Yuya said.
"Everyone... I will protect You Show with all of my power!" Gongenzaka declared firmly as he come to Duel arena and the Duel start.
The Duel was intense. Yaiba swarm his field with his XX-Saber Synchro Monsters while Gongenzaka playing offense and defense using his Superheavy Samurai monsters. As true to his Dueling Style, Gongenzaka didn't pick any Action Cards to help him. This is why he was one of my Favorite Character in Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise. In the end, the result is a draw.
"I'm sorry everyone... my Steadfast Dueling isn't enough to protect You Show." Gongenzaka apologized.
"No problem. You did more than enough. Good job Gongenzaka." I reasurred him.
"Yeah. At least it ended a draw." Yuya added as Gongenzaka smiled at his two friends.
"This can't be draw! LDS's reputation is at stake! Let's have a tiebreaker!" Himika said in angered.
"But... the Duel is-" Shuzo tried to explain. But, she don't want to hear it. "No buts! Let's have a tiebreaker. The duelist from each school that had a win will face each other and settle this score once and for all!"
Yuya come to the field with goggles over his eyes. That's it. I have enough of this, I will put an end of this.
"Excuse me, Chairwoman Akaba." I addressed her who turned her attention to me. "I have an proposal of a more interesting Duel."
"Oh?" She asked curiously. "And what it might be?"
"You can come out now, Akaba Reiji. I know you there." I called, which make everyone wondering who I was talking to.
Then a hooded Duelist appeared from the corner. He removed his hood and revealing a young man with grey hair, wearing a red scarf and blue sleeve shirt with white pants and shoes. He has the same age as me but taller and wearing a red glass.
"Who is that? I, the man Gongenzaka, never saw that man in my life." Gongenzaka asked.
"I still can't believe you all are ignorant." I thought with a sigh. "Akaba Reiji. The current President of LDS and youngest Duelist in history certified to Duel in the professional circuit, having done so at age 15. Which is, one of the best Duelists ever alive." I explained to them as they look at Reiji with awe and shock.
"I'm impressed that you are know much about me and that you know I'm monitoring the Duels from the shadows." Reiji said, somehow impressed at my knowledge.
"Well, I came from the world where let me to know what happened in here." I thought.
"You seems wants to settle a score with me. I accept it but let's make a recap first." He said while he adjusted his glasses. "If I win, You Show Duel School alongside Pendulum Summoning will have to be part of LDS. If you win, the matter about Sawatari will be dropped entirely and giving you fundings for your School."
"Term accepted." I declared as we entered the action field.
"Take him down Mizael nii-chan!" The kids cheered.
"You can do it!" Yuya and Yuzu added.
"I, the man Gongenzaka, sure you can win!" Gongenzaka added.
"Show your hot-blooded duel Mizael!" Shuzo exclaimed from control room.
"Let's see if he can beat this Akaba Reiji..." Sora muttered.
"How foolish. Let's see how much confidence you have after you see Reiji-san powers." Himika thought arrogantly.
Reiji and I ready to face to face with each other. Reiji stood in his usually calm manner while I stood in my serious expression as we activated our Duel Disk.
"Which action field would you like to use?" Shuzo asked from a control room.
"No preference." I answered.
"Likewise." Reiji added.
"Okay then. Action Field on! Neo City Heartland!" Shuzo pressed the button as the field changed to some city with many large tower on it and it's landmark Heartland Tower.
"Interesting foreshadow."
"Duelist locked in battle!" Yuya and Yuzu started chanting.
"Kicking the earth and dancing in the air with their monsters!" Gongenzaka and Sora joined in.
"They storm thought the field!" Three kids joined in.
"Behold! The newest and greatest evolution of Dueling!" LDS trio also joined in.
"Action..."
Duel!
Mizael LP: 4000 x5
Reiji LP: 4000 x5
"You can go first." I offered.
"May I ask why you give the opportunity?" Reiji asked in confusion.
"I prefer going second. That's all." I answered.
"I see... you're that type of Duelist." He replied while adjusted his glasses. "Very well... my turn. I activate a Continuous Spell, Dark Contract with the Hellgate. This card inflicts me 1000 damage during each of my standby phase. But in exchange I can add one D/D monster from my deck to my hand. I add D/D Cerberus."
"What? The cards that inflict 1000 damage during his standby phase?" Yuya said in confusion.
"And D/D monster, what kind of monster is that?" Tatsuya asked.
"But why he playing such a risk card just to add one monster?" Yuzu asked, completely confused.
"And I activate another Continuous Spell, Contract with the Swamp King. I take 1000 damage during my standby phase but in exchange Once Per Turn during my main phase, I can Fusion Summon Fiend-Type Fusion Monster with it's material from my field or hand." Reiji explained as everyone shocked.
"He can Fusion Summon?!" Yuya said in shocked.
"He risk 2000 lifepoints just to Fusion Summon?!" Yuzu added.
"I Fuse D/D Cerberus and D/D Berfomet. Proud knight, be absorbed into the crucible of disaster. Be reborn into a new king! Fusion Summon! Come forth, ruler who carries the glory of God! D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc!"
D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc (ATK 2800/DEF 2000/Fiend/Dark/Fusion/LV 7)
"d'Arc and not Temujin?" I thought in slightly surprised. "So he used different strategy because he faced different opponent, huh? Interesting."
"So he really can Fusion Summon." Gongenzaka stated.
"And it's time is D/D/D. There are three D's...what's that means?" Yuya asked.
"I set a card facedown and end my turn." Reiji stated.
Mizael LP: 4000 x5
Reiji LP: 4000 x1
"It's my turn! Draw!" I stated. "When I Control no Monster, I can Special Summon Photon Thrasher from my hand."
Photon Thrasher (ATK 2100/DEF 0/Warrior/Light/LV 4)
"When I Control "Photon" or "Galaxy" Monster, I can Special Summon Photon Vanisher from my hand."
Photon Vanisher (ATK 2000/DEF 0/Warrior/Light/LV 4)
"Photon Vanisher's effect let me add "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" from my Deck to my hand." I said as I add my Ace Monster to my hand.
"He already have his Ace Monster on his hand." Reiji thought. "Is he going to Summon it now?"
"Now I Overlay my Level 4 Photon Thrasher and Photon Vanisher! With these two Monsters, I build the Overlay Network! Xyz Summon! Legendary warrior that holds the power of the galaxies! Destroy those foolish who dares to stand in your way! Xyz Summon! Descend! Starliege Lord Galaxion!"
Starliege Lord Galaxion (ATK 2000/DEF 2000/Warrior/Light/Xyz/Rank 4/OVU 2)
"He can Xyz Summon?!" Hokuto exclaimed in shock.
"This is it! Mizael nii-chan's Xyz Monster!" The kids cheered.
"But it's ATK is only 2000. I wonder what Mizael's plan." Yuya remarked.
"I activate Galaxion's effect! By detach one Overlay unit, I can Special Summon my trusted Monster from my hand! Galaxy shines in the darkness! Become a ray of hope that lives within my servant! Descend to me! Embodiment of Light - Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"
Starliege Lord Galaxion (OVU 2 - 1)
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon (ATK 3000/DEF 2500/Dragon/Light/LV 8)
"What a beautiful dragon..." Masumi muttered in awe.
"It is truly the embodiment of light." Yaiba noted.
"No. It more like...the embodiment of galaxy itself." Hokuto commented.
"Mizael nii-chan's Ace Monster!" The kids cheered.
"Go Mizael!" The rest of the gang cheered.
"Show us your hot-blooded Dueling Mizael!" Shuzo exclaimed from the control room.
"So that's your Ace Monster huh? I admit that was very impressive." Reiji commented.
"Thank you. But unfortunately, I believe this Duel is over. Battle! Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, attack d'Arc! Photon Stream of Destruction!"
Photon Dragon unleashed a magnificent blue blast towards d'Arc, creating a explosion.
"He did it!" The kids cheered.
"That guy's Monster is destroyed!" Yuya added happily.
"Is that so?" Himika interupped with a smirk on her face, stopping the cheers from the You Show gang. Everyone turned back to the field and saw the smoke clearing... with d'Arc still on the field.
"What?!" Yuya gasped in shock.
"But how...?" Yuzu added before getting interupped by Reiji.
"Action Magic: Big Escape. Your battle phase is over." Reiji calmly said.
"So you can dodge that, huh." I said. "Impressive. I set two cards facedown and end my turn. But in your Standby Phase, you Contract will give you 2000 Damage. But as a business man, such that thing is a trivial, right?"
Mizael LP: 4000 x2
Reiji LP: 4000 x0
Reiji formed a smirk on his face. "Impressive observation. Draw! During my Standby Phase, I took 2000 damage."
"Yes! With this, that guy will lose 2000 damage!" Yuya naivelly said.
"However...contract is such a trivial things to me." Reiji said with a smirk. "As long as d'Arc is on my Field, any effect damage that I would get become a Life Points instead. Life Elation!"
Reiji got enveloped by green aura.
Mizael LP: 4000 x2
Reiji LP: 6000 x0
"WHAT?!" The kids yelled in disbelief.
"He negate 2000 Damage and more, he got 2000 Life Points..." Yuya muttered, feeling overwhelmed.
Suddenly, Reiji let out a small laugh. I narrowed my eyes at this. I know that laugh. He thought that my choice for going second is my politeness. But sadly, he's wrong.
"Why are you laughing, Akaba Reiji?" I asked.
"Forgive me." Reiji gains back his composure. "I was remembering the reason why you gave me the first turn, that's all."
"Does that mean to you?" I asked in confusion.
"What I'm saying is that such politeness is useless in battlefield." Reiji replied.
I formed a smirk on my face. "Don't let that take down your guard, Akaba Reiji. As you can see, I have two Monsters and two set cards. Which means, I already prepared for the worst."
"But, are you prepared for this?" Reiji asked with a smirk. I know what he meant. "With the effect of Contract with a Gate, now I add D/D Necro Slime."
Reiji add that card to his hand.
"And with my Contract with a Swamp King, I fuse D/D Necro Slime with D/D Orthus from my hand. Hellhound which bares it's fangs! Grotesque being of darkness! In a whirlpool of light from the realm of the death! Become one and give birth to a new king! Fusion Summon! Be born! D/D/D Flame King Temujin!"

"After that, I Summon a Tuner Monster, D/D Nighthowl."
D/D Nighthowl (ATK 300/DEF 600/Fiend/Dark/Tuner/LV 3)
"Tuner?!" Sora said in surprise.
"Does that mean..." Yuzu said in surprise as well.
"I activate D/D Nighthowl's effect! When D/D Nighthowl is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a "D/D" monster from my graveyard but it's effect are negated and it's ATK/DEF become 0. I Special Summon D/D Berfomet." A orange goat with wings appeared on the field.

"I activate Alexander's effect! When "D/D" monster is Summoned, I can Special Summon one "D/D" monster from my graveyard. I Special Summon D/D Berfomet." Berformet back to the field.
D/D Berfomet (ATK 1400/DEF 1800/Fiend/Dark/LV 4)
"2 monster level 4...don't tell me he also can use..." Yuya said, realized what's coming next.
"I Overlay my level 4 D/D Cerberus and D/D Berfomet. In order to subjugate all that resides within this world, descent now onto the peak of the world! Xyz Summon! Be born! Rank 4! D/D/D Wave King Caesar!"
D/D/D Wave King Caesar (ATK 2400/DEF 1200/Fiend/Water/Xyz/Rank 4/OVU 2)
"Even Xyz too..." Yuzu said in amazement.
"Fusion, Synchro, Xyz in one Duel... that's something you don't see everyday." Yuya added.
"Akaba Reiji is mastered different summoning methods?" Gongenzaka commented in surprise. "I, the man Gongenzaka, hate to admit this, but Mizael might be in trouble here."
"D/D/D stands for 'Different Dimension Demon.' I'm giving you small taste from the power of the kings that subjugate alternate planes, Kuroba Mizael. I can't help but wonder...will their power can even bring the galaxy down to their knees?" Reiji explained as he adjusted his glasses.
"Then attack me and find out." I challenged him.
"As your wish. But first, I activate Action Magic: Morale Boost. All of my Monsters gains 1000 ATK." All of Reiji's Monsters got surrounded by red aura."
D/D/D Flame King Temujin (ATK 2000 - 3000)

"4 Monsters and above 3000 ATK..." Yuya muttered in worried..."
"Mizael..." Yuzu muttered.
"Now battle. Temujin, attack Galaxion! Fire Stroke!" Temujin raised his sword and slash Galaxion with it, destroying Galaxion as the shockwave make me skidding backwards.
Mizael LP: 3000 x2
Reiji LP: 6000 x0
"Now Alexander, attack Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon! Storm Edge!"
"Nope. Trap card, Counter Gate! Your attack is negate, and I draw a card. However, if the card I drew is a Monster Card, I can Summon it immediately." I said as I draw my card. I looked at the card and it was a Spell Card. A useful one.
"Then Caesar, attack Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon! Tidal Torrent!" Reiji declared as Caesar charged at Photon. But, Reiji widened his eyes in surprise when he saw my smirk.
"Wrong move, Akaba Reiji." I said with a smirk. "I activate Galaxy-Eyes' effect! When Galaxy-Eyes battles, he can banish himself and the Monster his battling!"
Photon and Caesar vanished from the Field.
"What?!" Everyone watching, including Reiji gasped in shock.
"I've never heard that effect..." Sora muttered.
"This is a Galaxy-Eyes power." Gongenzaka noted.
"Your Dragon has such a unique effect. But you're wide open. d'Arc, direct attack!"
"I'm perfectly safe. Trap card, Defense Draw! The battle damage I took from this battle is reduce to 0." An invisible barrier protected me from d'Arc." Furthermore, I draw a card."
"Phew." Tatsuya sighed in relief. "Mizael nii-chan successfuly dodge all Akaba Reiji's attack."
"However, Akaba Reiji's D/D/D Monsters are still a major hurdle." Yuzu mentioned. "And Mizael's Field are empty."
"Don't worry, Yuzu." Yuya reassured her. "Mizael still had four cards on his hand, he will find a way to overcome Akaba Reiji's Monsters."
"With that I end my turn." Reiji concluded. "Now then, show me how'll you respond to this, Kuroba Mizael."
"With a pleasure. But first, during End Phase, Galaxy-Eyes and your Caesar are back to the Field." Photon and Caesar back to the Field.
"So that Dragon's effect is only temporary. Interesting." Reiji thought.
"However, since the banished Monster is Xyz Monster, Galaxy-Eyes gains 500 ATK for each Overlay Unit attached to that Monster."

"What?! That Dragon..." Hokuto muttered in disbelief.
"...Is designed to Counter Xyz Monsters..." Yaiba continued.
"It's a relief that you faced Yuya than him, Hokuto." Masumi noted. "Even more, he's not take the Action Cards since the beginning of a Duel."
"What?! I don't understand! Xyz user using anti-Xyz card?!" Sora thought in complete confusion.
"Impressive. You sure has a powerful Ace." Reiji said with a smile on his face. "Now, show me your true potential, Kuroba Mizael."
"Nope. Save the best for last." "I'll do my best. My turn! Draw! I Summon Photon Crusher!"

"It can activate its effect without using Overlay Unit?!" Hokuto exclaimed in disbelief.
"Now battle! Galaxy-Eyes Solflare Dragon will attack your d'Arc! Solflare Stream of Destruction!"
"You attacking with a weaker Monster?" Reiji raised his eyebrow.
"Not after this. Quick-Play Magic: Galaxy Shock! Solflare gains 1500 ATK, your Monster effect is negated and Solflare will be unaffected by your card effect."

"You got my thanks. You're also a opponent that worth to be praised. You surely a Master when it comes to Xyz Summon. However, it's time for you to face a power that stronger than Fusion, Synchro and Xyz!" Reiji declared strongly, which make the spectator flinched.
"What do you mean?" I asked, faking curiousity.
"You'll see. My turn! Draw! I activate Card of Adversity! If my opponent Control a Special Summoned Monster and I Control none, I can draw two cards." Reiji said as he draw two cards. "With the scale 1 D/D Savant Galilei and scale 10 D/D Savant Kepler I set the Pendulum Scale!" Reiji said as Galilei and Kepler being surrounded in pillars of light as they rise up as a portal appeared between them.
D/D Savant Galilei (ATK 0/DEF 0/Fiend/Dark/Pendulum/LV 10/PS 1)

"He summoned four monsters ?! And three with 3000 ATK!" Sora stated as he Stare at Reiji's monster.
Everyone still shocked, especially Yuya. have to seen someone other than him capable to Pendulum Summon making him down. I sighed. "Another job for me again."

"And 3500 ATK..." Yuzu said in overwhelmed.
"Unbelievable!" Gongenzaka stated.
"Kali Yuga is a trouble. Good thing I had a plan." I thought.
"Kali Yuga's effect! When Kali Yuga is Special Summoned, it can negate all cards on the field except itself until the end of this turn." Reiji declared as before my trap became grey, I activated one of my set card.
"Trap card open! Infinite Impermanence! I can target one Monster you control and negate it's effect until the end of this turn!" I declared before Kali Yuga's effect negated. "Also, I activate Solflare Dragon's effect! During my opponent's turn, by detach one Overlay Unit, I can destroy one Special Summoned Monster on the Field! And I choose your first Armageddon!"
Galaxy-Eyes Solflare Dragon (OVU 2 - 1)
"Phew. That was close." You Show gang sighed in relief.

D/D/D Doom King Armageddon #1 (ATK 3000 - 6000)
"6000 ATK?!" Yuzu exclaimed in shock.

"Battle! My first Armageddon attack Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon! The end of the world!" Two Armageddon's shot a multiple blast at Photon.
"I activate Photon's effect! I can banish him and the Monster his battling!" "Don't worry, Master! I got your back!" Photon told me as he and Armageddon vanished.

Reiji LP: 7300 x0
"At the End Phase...Galaxy-Eyes and Armageddon back to the Field..." I said weakly as Photon and Armageddon back to the Field.
"This isn't good." Tatsuya commented with a concerned tone. "If Mizael nii-chan doesn't find a way to settle this soon, Akaba Reiji will only gain more powerful with each passing turn."
"You're talking as if your friend ever had a chance in the first place." Himika spoke with a disdainful tone. "It was never a matter of if Mizael-san would lose, but when."
"That's not true!" Futoshi yelled. "Mizael nii-chan is still in the game and will give that Akaba Reiji the shivers of his life!"
"If you want to cling on to unrealistic hopes, feel free to do so." Himika let out a smile filled with contempt. "Just don't get too disappointed when they're dashed."
"It's time to getting serious then." I thought.
"You sure taking your time, Master." Tachyon appeared beside me. "Let's end this rightnow. If not, we'll lose."
"Yeah, Tachyon. I know."
"What's wrong, Kuroba Mizael?" Reiji asked me. "Are you already giving up? Have you finally realized that resistance is futile and that your only option is to give into despair and submit to the inescapable fate of your defeat?"
He's probably mistaking my thoughts as hesitation.
"Despair, huh..." I said with a frown. "You have no idea of the despairs I faced. If you think this little bind is enough to give me despair, then you sadly wrong."
"Then show me. Show me your power that overcome those despairs, Kuroba Mizael!" Reiji strongly declared.
"As you wish! My turn! Draw!" I silently used Barian Chaos Draw in this draw. "If I Control a "Galaxy-Eyes" Monster, I can Special Summon this Monster from my hand! Descend, Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon!"
Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon (ATK 3000/DEF 2500/Dragon/Light/LV 8)
"It's like a ghost version of Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon." Sora commented.
"Two Level 8 Monsters..." Reiji muttered.
"Now, let me show you a sample of how powerful GalaxyZEyes is! I Overlay my Level 8 Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon! With these two Monsters, I build the Overlay Network! Xyz Summon!" I said as the two Monsters become a yellow orb of light and entered the galaxy portal.
"He Overlaying his Galaxy-Eyes?!" You Show gang exclaimed in shock.
"He never used Rank 8 Monster before..." Reiji said in awe and shock.
"Just who is he?!" Hokuto said in mix of shock and jealous.
"Appear! Galactic Ultimate Dragon, Numbers 62! Darkness and light wandering in the universe. Sorrowful Dragon who sleep in the interstice. Its power of creating opens the door of the truth! Xyz Summon! Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon!"

"Galaxy-Eyes..." Yuya said in awe.
"Prime Photon Dragon..." Yuzu finished, at the same state as Yuya.
"I must admit for Xyz Monster, it looks intimidating." Sora thought.
"W-what is this?!" LDS trio exclaimed in shock.
"Battle! Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon attack Reiji's Armageddon!" Prime Photon flying, create a multiple blue ball and ready to shot it at Armageddon. "I'm not done yet! I activate Prime Photon Dragon's effect! By detaching one Overlay unit, Prime Photon Dragon gains ATK equals to combined Ranks of all Xyz Monsters on the field times 200! On the Field, there's Kali Yuga and Prime Photon itself, which means Prime Photon gains 3200 ATK!" I said as Prime Photon's absorbed one of it's Overlay units and then the blur ball becames bigger.
Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon (OVU 2 - 1)
Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon (ATK 4000 - 7200)
"7200 ATK?!" Everyone yelled in shock.
"But it's still not enough to beat me." Reiji said while adjusting his glasses.
"Believe me. This is more than enough." I said with a grin. "Since I used Afterglow Dragon to activate my Xyz Monster's effect, its effect activates! I can Special Summon "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" from my Deck! Descend! Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon (ATK 3000/DEF 2500/Dragon/Light/LV 8)
"Also, my "Number" Monster's ATK will be doubled!" Prime Photon's energy blast become bigger.
Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon (ATK 7200 - 14400)
"14400 ATK?!" Everyone, even Reiji gasped in shock.
"Go! Eternity Photon Stream!" Prime Photon Dragon finally shot his blue blast but I told him to hold back so Reiji doesn't get too much injury. Reiji got hit by Prime Photon's attack, sent him flying.

Mizael Win
"HE WON!" You Show Gang yelled in joy.
"I can't believe it...Reiji-san...lost?" Himika uttered in disbelief.

"And that's...game." I said weakly before fell to the ground with a bliss expression on my face. You Show Gang then rushed on me to check my condition.
To be continued.
