Yuko placed his hand on his deck and hoped that everything will be in his favor. Everyone watched closely as Yuko drew his card and took a look at it. To everyone else's surprise, it was just what he wanted.

"I don't know Benta. Things are getting much more interesting."-Tammi
"Alright Tora, attack! Savior's Arrow!"-Yuko

(Tora:3000 atk/2500 atk)

(Tora:1 ZU/0 ZU) (Thunder Yang:0 ZU/1 ZU)
"But that's not all."-Kenji
Activates Dragon's Restoration.

"Which means that Thunder Yang Dragon has two Zeon Units again!"-Tammi
(Thunder Yang:1 ZU/2 ZU)
"Kenji's about to finish him."-Benta

"But if you think that these two dragons are all I have in my deck, then you're wrong."-Kenji

"This is bad."-Tammi

"I already know that."-Kenji
Destroys LDD and Fighting Spirit. (Tora:2800 atk/2500 atk)

Activates LDD's effect and Special Summons Thunder Yang(Light/Lv.8/2800 atk) from the graveyard.

[DUEL END]
Kenji fell to his knees. Just as the rest of the school at that moment, he couldn't believe that he managed to lose. Let alone to a new student from their rival school. The whole school sat in silence. Even the referee was at a loss for words.
Yuko was the only one that wasn't in shock. His training paid off in a fabulous way. Now, he was sure that he made the right switch.
He could see Kenji trying fathom what just happened. To snap him out of it, Yuko walked over to his opponent. "Good duel. I had a lot of fun," he said extending his gloved hand for a handshake.
It took him a moment to get out of his shocked, but Kenji managed smiled and shake Yuko's hand. "Me too. Congratulations."
Everyone in the room began to applaud Yuko and Kenji for their amazing duel.
"Well that was an incredible duel," the referee shouted. "But now it seems that we have a new king here at DHA! Congratulations to Yuko Sorama!"
Tammi and Benta then ran onto the stage. Something told Tammi that Yuko was going to surprise everyone. She may have doubted him a few times, but now she's sure that Yuko's one of the best duelists she's ever seen.
"Sorry, you lost bro." Tammi hugged her big brother.
Kenji smirked. "It's okay. I think that there's something incredible about that kid."
Benta shook Yuko's hand to introduce himself. Seeing Kenji lose to a new student had to be one of most amazing things he's ever seen. He felt bad for not giving Yuko a chance to prove himself. "Name's Benta Kazama. I can't believe that you, a KCA transfer student, defeated our top student."
Yuko chuckled. "Well, I just tried my best." He then noticed Kenji turning away to leave. "Hey Kenji," he called out. "Maybe we can duel again sometime right?"
Kenji met Yuko's eyes on last time before leaving. In that was a sign of mutual respect. Kenji could tell that'll he'll be facing Yuko again sometime. And with that thought, he felt a sour taste in his mouth. He'd have to win the next time around to take back his title. "Anytime. You are my rival after all." Kenji left the room without another word.
It was his first day and Yuko already had a rival. DHA was beginning to feel like a place where he belonged. Placing the memories of his old school in the back of his mind, he could look into the future and start a life here at DHA.
"So with a victory like that Yuko, you can be moved up to the Blue Rank," Tammi pointed out.
Thinking about the fun times he had as a White Jacket back at KCA, he was sure that he'd want to be one of the underdogs again. "No. I think I'd like Red better," he replied with a smile. "It suits me."

Five coated figures with different colored masks stood atop of a roof. The view showcased a beautiful skyline of Domino Heart City.
"We'll set up base here," The leader of the five figures instructed.
The figure in the green mask examined the city as if looking back at old memories. But for him, they weren't pleasant ones. "Domino Heart City...it's been a while since I've been back here."
"So many people down there just waiting to be burned," the red masked figure said.
"Now, don't get too excited. We have a lot of preparations to make first," the blue masked figure added.
The brown mask turned to his leader. "So the mark somewhere out there?"
The leader with the half golden and half violet colored mask nodded. "There's no question. But now, we have to ask ourselves: who it has?"
