As the new dragon attack connects, blowing Yuri away for a few meters, Reiji raises his eyebrows and immediately makes a phone call
*What's the matter Mr. President? *
"Do a background check on both Y/N and Alexa, now" His voice was as calm and collected as ever, but they could still feel a little bit of curious hiding behind those words
*As you wish, Mr. President* The phone call ends and Reiji slides his phone into his pocket again earning a confused look from the former XYZ dimension resident
"Why though?" He calmly asks, The hostile in his voice for Yuri is still there, but it's significantly less than a few minutes earlier
"That monster attack is real, the system is already broken the moment he summons Z-ARC"
"So that's mean..."
"Yes, those monsters standing on their field wasn't a hologram, they're a real monster"
"Just like..."
"...Z-ARC two years ago? Yes, unfortunately"
"Seriously" Shun rubs his forehead in frustration "Why does everyone with that kind of face always make our day worse one way or another
"Maybe it's fate?" Shun could only snicker at Reiji's response before turning his attention back to the duel

"You're..." Yuri said while coughing violently, Arc-Ray's attack took a torn off him, There's no denying that "You're surely an interesting brat" and there's no denying that Yuri enjoyed this beating, it's been a while since he had this thriller from a duel, not even that girl from LDS could make he feels like this
"Now good look passing this field" A cocky smile makes its way onto the young boy's face making Yuri's smirk grow wider
"Keep your mouth in check, brat," Yuri said with full confidence while placing his hand on top of his deck "You're being cocky now"
But Yuri knows too well that his opponent has the right to be cocky, a 4000 ATK dragon and a negate are more than enough for him to have the game, he has to top deck something really useful to out this board
"My turn... Draw!" Yuri's eyes widen at the card as the smirk on his face grows wider. This makes Y/N shake, does he draw the out
"Return from the extra deck, my faithful servant! Pendulum summons! Resurrect! Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon! Odd-Eyes Pendulum!"

"Wait, isn't Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon still in the graveyard"
"Screw the rule, I'm the main character"
"...But you still can't use your monster eff-"
"I'm sorry but could you just shut the f (Yuya can barely stop him from cursing) up and let me finish my turn?" Yuri said with a scowl
"...fine"
"Thank you" Yuri looked at his dragon briefly again, he knew a way to get past that field, now he needed to make sure that he had enough setup to survive whatever those disgusting dragons had under its sleeve
"Now I will tribute summon by tributing Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Appear! Level 8! The dual-colored eyes, Odd Eyes Advance Dragon!"
Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon
Level 8
ATK: 3000
"Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon effect activate!"
"Dammit! Z-ARC can't negate the effect of normal effect monster"
"When I Tribute Summon this card using a level 5 or higher monster, I can target one card you control and destroy it, and you take as much damage as that monster's original ATK"
Y/N's eyes widen, if Arc-Ray gets destroyed, he will lose the duel. Knowing this, he quickly ran around the whole arena, desperately searching for an action card
"I will choose Supreme King Celestial Odd-Eyes Arc-Ray Dragon"
Then he finds it, an action card hanging on Arc-Ray's giant wing
"Give it to me, Arc-Ray!"
The dragon nods obediently before swinging his wing violently, trying to use to wind generated from the movement to deliver the card to its owner's hand
"Go Advance Dragon, destroy that eyesore!"
The dichromatic eyes dragon shoots out a black and red beam from its mouth, exploding the dragon completely, creating a huge explosion
"Action card activate! Stand Up, I can change the effect damage I would take in my opponent's turn to zero!" (*) If Y/N activated that card effect later than 1 second, he would've lost the duel
"Great effort" Yuri gives him some genuine praise, a really rare thing that comes from someone as sadistic as him. Receiving Yuri's praise is more than proof of your dueling skill and technique "But you can't stop your dragon from being destroyed"
"Now let see what's its floating effect"
"I won't give up that easy" Y/N shouted behind the dust cloud "Supreme Celestial King Odd-Eyes Arc-Ray Dragon effect activate! When this card in the monster zone is destroyed, I can place it in my Pendulum Scale!"
Supreme Celestial King Odd-Eyes Arc-Ray Dragon
Scale 13
"Supreme Celestial King Odd-Eyes Arc-Ray Dragon pendulum effect activated! If I have 2 cards in my Pendulum Scale, I can special summon this card from my Pendulum Scale!"
"Arise! The supreme king dragon with dual-colored eyes!"
Supreme Celestial King Odd-Eyes Arc-Ray Dragon
Level 12
ATK: 4000
"Furthermore, I can shuffle one card from my Pendulum Zone into the deck, but if it's returned to the Extra Deck instead, I can special summon this card, ignoring its Summoning condition!"
"How hideous..." Yuzu said in a disbelief tone, it's unbelievable to her that a monster could have this much effect
"Resurrect! The one who stands above all, Supreme King Z-ARC!"
Supreme King Z-ARC
Level 12
ATK 4000
"Supreme King Z-ARC effect activated! When this card is a special summon, I can destroy all monsters that you control!"
Multiple red lights night strike from the sky, destroying all of Yuri's monster and his Pendulum Scale, alongside the ground underneath him
"Don't celebrate too soon brat!" Yuri shouts, his voice has gone rusty due to breathing in too much of the dust from the impact "Odd-Eyes Rebellion XYZ Dragon and Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon effect activated! If these card in the Monster Zone was destroyed, I can place both of them in my Pendulum Zone!"
Odd-Eyes Rebellion XYZ Dragon
Scale 4
Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon

"Odd-Eyes Rebellion XYZ Dragon pendulum effect activated! I can special summon this card and attach 1 Dark monster from my graveyard as XYZ material, I will attach Performapal Odd-Eyes Dissolver to Odd-Eyes Rebellion XYZ Dragon!"
Odd-Eyes Rebellion XYZ Dragon
Rank 7
ATK 3000
XYZ Materials: 1
"Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon effect activate! When this card is destroyed while in the Monster Zone, I can place this card in my Pendulum Zone!" (*)
(You can explain it more logically by chain Rebellion XYZ to Venom, so Venom will special summon Rebellion XYZ to the field while still placing itself into the Pendulum Zone, My hand is too tired to fix this so you can ignore it because it won't affect the duel outcome much)
Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon
Scale 1
"But still, your dragon monster ATK is smaller than both Z-ARC and Arc-Ray"
Another laugh escaped Yuri's lips "You're a good duelist Y/N, I'll give you that" he then used his hand to ruffle his hair a little, trying to make it in the form again "But you're still naïve, your mindset is still simple, you can only see what appeal for you on the surface but you can't look past what lay hidden in the mist of future."
"What the...?"
"Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon Pendulum Effect activated! I can make my monster gain 1000 ATK for each monster my opponent controls, you currently control 2 monsters, so my dragon will gain 2000 ATK"
Odd-Eyes Rebellion XYZ Dragon
Rank 7
ATK: 3000 + 2000= 5000
XYZ Material: 1
"And I'm not finished yet, Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon Pendulum effect activate! When my monster battles another monster, I can make it gain ATK equal to that monster's ATK"
"Odd-Eyes Rebellion XYZ Dragon will raised for another 4000 ATK..." Y/N mutters
"Precisely"
Odd-Eyes Rebellion XYZ Dragon
Rank 7
ATK: 5000 + 4000= 9000
XYZ Material: 1
Y/N's facial muscle relax at the sight of the dragon, he knows that he has lost this game but his face shows a satisfy smile, he slowly closes his eyes and is ready for the impact
"Not bother to search for an action card?"
"No need, even if I survived for another turn, there's nothing left for me to turn this around" He opens his eyes again "Besides, I'm not a pussy nor a sore loser, so just attack me and end this"
"You are, an interesting brat" A smile appear on Yuri's face, but this time it isn't a smirk, a sadistic smile, or a cocky one, it was a genuine smile, a rare sight to behold. And it was so genuine that it even creeps out Yugo a little"
"Odd-Eyes Rebellion XYZ Dragon, attack Supreme King Z-ARC!"
The black dragon nods its head and flies up to the sky, destroy what is left of the ceiling, using its wings to charge energy into a black sphere that it's holding in its claw
"Treachery Punishment!"
The mighty dragon releases that black energy sphere, unleashing a black and purple beam down Y/N and his dragon, making an ear-bleeding sound and creating a blinding light when the attack makes contact with the dragon.
For a brief moment after Z-ARC was destroyed, Y/N, Yuya, Yuri, Yugo, and Yuto found themselves standing in a blank dimension covered in nothingness. They could just stare at each other in shock before reality pulled them back, there were no words exchanged between the boys, this happened too fast, happened too suddenly so it was easy to understand that they were all caught off guard.
As the light died down, Y/N's body was lying on the ground, completely paralyzed by the attack, his body was full of scratches, his clothes were torn apart by the impact and his eyes had turned to a blood-red color due to the light. Yuri was no better, as his hair started to change from a purple color to red and green hair, he was in no better state than the other poor boy, his clothes were also torn apart, and his body is also covered in scratch and wounds, then he kneels the ground in exhaustion while breathing heavily, barely clinging into his consciousness
"Y/N!"
As Y/N's last drop of consciousness started to fade away, the last thing that he slipped into his ears was the sound of people running a the voice of his friend calling out for him
