Now, Fudo, Yuzai and his buddies must collect all 100 of the “Negatives”, cards of evil, to unlock a secret weapon, to defeat his big brother: Argo.

 * Hello, Yu-Gi-Oh! Fans!! This is, in case you didn’t know which I doubt, this is the spectacular…
 * YU-GI-OH!
 * TCG and anime! This document, however, is a book. Enjoy the story! Oh, and by the way, this is just a D1. If you want the full version, come back in about six years for the FC. Also, most of the monsters in this book are not described. You must use your own imagination to sculpt the monsters yourselves. If you need some outline, ask Patrick Soga, the writer, or Matthew Soga, the editor. For a bit of back round, this story takes place in about 20 or so years after Yu-Gi-Oh! 5d’s and is during Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal. Nearly everyone’s deck in this book is either top tier, swarmy, or an archetype made up by the author. WARNING: This book will probably only make sense if you are a big Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan. If you are not, please read the prologue thoroughly or watch the anime and play the TCG/OCG. Talk to the editor about the rules of the game, since there might be some slight controversy about how each card works. This document is protected by the Who-Knows-What foundation and must not be copied, scripted, or trodden on by penalty of the Who-Knows-What foundation. This book will not be published until further notice, and we can assure you that we first ask permission from Konami and Kazuki Takahashi, who are the creators of Yu-Gi-Oh! Please envision this story as an anime, not with real life characters. CAUTION: This story contains some violence and thematic elements. Not recommended for children under 10.
 * PS. I don’t own Yu-Gi-Oh or 5d’s. Please do not steal characters, ideas, card names, or titles under penalty of our Lord.
 * Prologue. (Oooh. Scary.)
 * Welcome, fellow duelists! In the year of 1996, a Japanese man named Kazuki Takahashi concocted the manga of Yu-Gi-Oh! His creation quickly grew more and more popular, and soon people started to ask him to make a card game after the creatures in his manga. He agreed, and that’s when the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG and OCG was born! So, we joined Yugi and his friends in the year of 2000 as he solved the Millenium Puzzle and released an Egyptian entity named Atem. Infused with ancient energies, he protected the world from the return of the Shadow Games just as the Great Pharaoh did, 5000 years ago. Yugi defeated enemy after enemy, Seto Kaiba, Marik Ishtar, Dartz, The High Priest of Darkness, and Zorc Necrophades, saving the world from each villan. We now accelerate about 20 years forward into the future to see our new hero, Judai Yuuki…. sleeping in class, again. Anyway, Judai wasn’t the very best student, but when it came to dueling, he was a straight A student. Not only was he a very good duelist, but he also possessed the great and rare ability to see and talk to Duel Monster card spirits such as his Winged Kuriboh. A long the way to dueling fame, he saved the world and defeated villans such as Duel Academy’s super-intendant, Kagemaru, the tarot card user, Sartorius, and the hateful Trueman. Judai’s skills almosts matched Yugi’s, making him one of the most powerful duelists of all time. Now, let us accelerate about twenty years into the future to New Domino City! This glorious period was the time of Yusei Fudo and his friends as they battled the Dark Signers, connected the Satellite with the City, kept Z-One from destroying mankind, and exchanged a dark future for a brighter one. However, things weren’t looking too well for Mr. Kazuki Takahashi, for the ending of this era was criticized by many fans because the ending relationship of Yusei and Aki was not… I should say, stellar (IOW, they didn’t show or have Yusei and Aki get married or anything like that). And so, the tale you are about to read is the sequel (author’s note: not really, this is just a fanfic I made) to 5d’s with a more exciting future. Here it is, NOW.
 * Once upon a time, in a world created by the KDE, we joined our heroes Yusei Fudo, Aki Izayoi, Jack Atlas, blah blah blah when they defeated the Dark Signers and Z-One, in the year Who-Knows-What and saving the world from complete domination. This story begins after all of this commotion in New Domino City. To start, let’s go over what we have covered so far. Hmm, Aki has gone to America to study medicine, Yusei pursues his want to become a scientist, Jack becomes the duel champion, and everyone else has gone on his or her own paths. But let’s not begin the story now nothing would make any sense! So, to start, let’s go forth about three years, and it turns out that Aki has just gotten a transfer to New Domino, and Yusei has been appointed CEO of a science company he founded. After about a year or two, Yusei Fudo and Aki are married!! Applause, applause! Proceed at least two years, and it looks like they just had their first kid, Sasuke Fudo. Huzzah. Two years into the future, and their second kid is born! Argo Fudo. Two years further, and they have a pair of twins!! Yuzai and Sakura. Funny names. Guess what? Two more years, and they have another kid! Three years later, and another kid. Sadly, Sasuke died of unkown causes at the age of 16. He will be of importance later. Well, Yusei and Aki’s friends have also gotten married, and they had kids as well, but I doubt they have as many kids as them! But we now have a lot more characters to spice up this story. So, we accelerate 17 years, and we find our new main character, 15-year-old Yuzai Fudo, snoozing away happily, with no intention in saving the world. However, he must. Otherwise this story wouldn’t be as fun. So, he will save the world, I will guarantee that, so join me in the story of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5d’s Tagforce: Destination Dark World!!! (LOL, scary.)

 * “Yuzai!! Time to get up!” those words rang through a 3-story house like a bomb. “Yuzai Fudo, I’m not going to say that again!” “Mmmf. I bet.” mumbled a skinny 15 year old. He rolled over, and fell on some jacks on the ground. Yuzai yelled in pain. “AAAAAAAAUUG!!” that shout deafened his older brother Argo and twin sister Sakura. “Keep it down will ya?!!” they yelled down stairs. Yuzai grunted. His messy, long, black and red hair was in a tussle and looked like an electrocuted hedgehog, where he took out a comb and smoothed it out. Four spikes of hair stook out in the back and on the neck in addition to three thicker barbs stuck out of the sides along with two other spikes coming from the back of his head. It was pretty messy, spiky, and long like his father’s. (Please ask author for pic, in case you are confsused.) He changed into IIDK (International Institute of Dueling and Knowledge) uniform. Yuzai’s school was like a learning area for people playing Duel monsters and were academic. The institute gave every student a rank depicting your knowledge and duel skills. The lowest was black, the next was brown, and the highest was white. Yuzai was black, his older brother white, and his sister also white. Everyone thought this was strange, however, because his father was a pro champion duelist and rescued the world from certain domination by playing Duel Monsters against the bad guys. “Ha-ha,” Yuzai thought. “The irony.”
 * Rushing downstairs, he saw his dad leave with his suitcase and smock. At least Yuzai thought it was a smock. More of a lab coat actually. He was a scientist in New Domino City. “Bye daaaaaa.” he left before his son could say anything. “HOLY COW! Look at the time!” exclaimed Yuzai’s mother. “It’s 10:00, and you haven’t even eaten breakfast! XYZ bread will have to do, come on!” she ushered her son out the door with everything he needed. A duel disk, history and biology texts, notebooks, and a bag of XYZ (Pronounced ik-seez) bread. XYZ bread was his dad’s most recent invention. It tasted like notebook paper and stimulated drooling, but it had superior nutrients compared to other vitamin supplements. Yuzai ambled toward the bus, which had just arrived. He sat next to his friend, Suzaku Kyosuke. Apparently, Suzaku was the son of Yuzai’s dad’s friend, Kiryu Kyosuke. The irony once again. “Hello.” he greeted. Yuzai didn’t even greet Suzaku. Instead he replied, “Wanna look at my deck? I edited it pretty severely, so I just wanted your opinion about it.” Suzaku looked. Shuffled it. Then dealt out a hand. He shuffled them back.
 * “Perfect. Although, you might want to trade with other people for some cards that recycle others in the graveyard back to you hand.”
 * “Ok, I’ll note that.” recently, Yuzai had been having a lot of losing streaks, so he asked Argo for advice, since he was probably the most popular duelist he knew. When they got there, they were late again, like yesterday.
 * “Aaaaah. Lunch. A time where one can relax and revise his deck while eating bland XYZ bread.”
 * “Ha-ha, Mr. Sarcastic. Why don’t you get yourself a duel.”
 * “For what?”
 * “For the exams coming up, of course.”
 * “I guess your right.”
 * “Don’t challenge Argo. You don’t want any broken bones.”
 * Suzaku said this remark because both Yuzai and Argo inherited special psychic abilities from their mom, meaning that duel energy that they vented out could potentially hurt someone physically. Yuzai walked off. At the IIDK, finding a duel was easy. It was winning one that was hard. But for Argo, it was like routine. He beat at least ten white rank duelists a day! “That’s just because he’s playing Six Samurai.” Yuzai told himself. Six Samurai was one of the most powerful decks out there, and there were only three duelists in the entire world that played them. And Argo was one of them. His thoughts broke with the words, “You wanna duel me?” To a white rank duelist. The duelist accepted, and placed his deck in the slot of his duel disk. They stood about twenty feet of each other and readied their disks with a sci-fi laser sound. “Let’s Duel!” They exclaimed. Green numbers appeared on their disks. 8000. Each. Suzaku sipped whis coke. “How fun.” he thought. “I’ll kick this off!” The white duelist said, drawing a card from his deck. “I summon Gene Warped Werewolf with 2000 attack and 100 defense! Next I set a card face down and end!” “Ha-ha! Now I draw!” Yuzai drew, and revealed the card to his opponent. “I call on Cyber Dragon since you have a monster and I have no monsters! Next I normal summon AOJ Cyclone Creator. Now I tune AOJ, Cyclone Creator with Cyber Dragon! To summon Stardust Dragon.” Yuzai grinned, showing a full set of teeth. Stardust dragon was his dad’s ace card, the one he summoned the most! Stardust meant a lot to him. “And now I attack with Stardust! Cosmic Flare!” The dragon opened its mouth wide, and a white flame shot out! It enveloped the werewolf, which howled and disintegrated. “OOOFF.” The white duelist was flung back at tremendous speed and hit a wall. “Ugh. I don’t know how you did that to me, but I activate the trap, Howl of Trolls! This trap inflicts 1200 points of damage when a monster is destroyed by battle.” Yuzai: LP6800. “I play a card face down and end.”
 * (White duelist draws)
 * “I summon Vanilla Knight for no reason!”
 * Atk/1200 Def/100 lv 2 water warrior: When summoned, summon a vanilla from grave.
 * “With its special ability, I summon Gene Warped Werewolf from my grave!”
 * (Werewolf comes back)
 * “Now I end.”
 * (Yuzai draws)
 * (Yuzai) “I summon Level Man!”
 * Atk/100 Def/100 lv1 earth warrior tuner: When this card is used for a Synchro Summon, draw one card.
 * (Yuzai) “Now I star Stardust Dragon and Level Man together and Cosmic Summon “Star Rose Dragon!
 * (9 stars form a circle and lines connect them. A flash of light explodes to form a dragon)
 * Atk/2500 Def/2000 lv 8 cosmic monster dark dragon: Once every two turns either turn, you can banish 3 cards in your grave, and negate the summon of a monster and destroy it. Once a turn, if a card in your spell or trap zone would be destroyed, it is not destroyed.
 * (Yuzai) “ Next, activate spell card! Overrun! This spell lets my dragon attack you directly!”
 * (Overrun: normal spell – select a dragon type monster on your side of the field. It can attack any player directly this turn.)
 * The white duelist shouted, “Th-th-that’s not fair!”
 * “Blame the designers!” Yuzai laughed.
 * (Yuzai) “Now, I attack with my dragon! Red night hailstorm!”
 * A blur of red energy came out of the sky, and incinerated the werewolf.
 * White Duelist: LP4000
 * “AAAAAAAAAAGHH!!”” The White duelist skidded across the room, falling head over heels, and hit his head with a bang. “You know, if you don’t stop this physical violence right now, I’m gonna tell the chancellor!” Before Yuzai could say anything, the white duelist ran off. “Just what I need,” he moaned. “A conviction.”
 * Now an intermission, and some CC’s!
 * Yusei: Heyyy… why does HE have my Stardust Dragon?!!”
 * Aki: Why does my kid have to be late to school?!!

CHPTR 1 Part 2: WORST! Chptr 2: Cut! SABERS ARE AWESOME “I guess yeah.” They shuffled both decks, and dueled again. But now, they were bored out of their skulls once again. They concluded that they should go downstairs, and play Halo 13. Meanwhile, Yuzai’s dad was reading a book about Albert Einstein. Being mentally being shot with sound from the TV, he took a sweater, a can of Diet Coke, and the book he was reading and sat on a lounge outside. His wife went outside to water the plants, when she asked him, Chptr 3: Bullies! Glad Beasts to the Rescue!
 * Later that day, Yusei Fudo talked to his son about controlling his psychic powers. Yuzai felt bad. For the last couple of weeks, his abilities harmed several other people. No deaths or severe wounds thank goodness, however. “By the way, Yuzai, the Atlas’ are coming over. So I want your room cleared up in 30 minuets.” He left, closing the door.
 * “So,” Boomed a voice behind Yuzai, “Got in trouble again, eh?”
 * “I guess…” Yuzai turned to see his older 17-year-old brother Argo lying on his side on the top area of a three-story bunk bed. He had long red hair, mostly draping to cover an eye. He had changed from his white IIDK uniform to a T-shirt and jeans. “I saw your duel today,” he said. “Your deck is way better.” Yuzai didn’t say anything. He just got down kneeling, and started to clean up his cards. “Will ya trade for that T.G. Striker?” asked Argo. “If you’ve got the right stuff.” said Yuzai, smiling. He took a flask out of his pocket and drank from it.
 * “What’s that?”
 * “Tabasco sauce.”
 * “Ugh. That stuff gives me bad breath.”
 * “Me too.”
 * “Why do you drink it?”
 * “Well, it tastes good.”
 * There was a knocking sound downstairs. “I’d reckon that’s the Atlas’,” inquired Argo.
 * “You wanna duel Aurora and her Agents?”
 * “No thanks. I’ll stay up here and do homework.”
 * “I already did mine.”
 * “What!? Aww, c’mon.”
 * “Here’s a tip, do it earlier.” Argo rushed downstairs when he heard Yuzai shout, “Wait! Where’s Sakura?”
 * “She’s at Kame Game Shop buying some packs.”
 * “She did her homework early as well?”
 * “Yes.”
 * “Darn. Guess I’m the last to do homework.”
 * “Yeah, by the way, dad figured out a way to make XYZ bread sweeter.”
 * “Really!?”
 * “Yeah, but instead, it got so hard, dad chipped a molar.”
 * “Ouch.”
 * “Anyway, you should be studying. Bye-bye.” in a flash, he was gone. Yuzai sighed. He and Aurora were pretty good friends, like her dad Jack and Yuzai’s father. He got to his homework. All he had was a placement test for a new class he was enrolling in. The first question read, “If your life points drop to zero, what happens?” The answer was simple. YOU LOSE. Several other questions followed, and Yuzai answered each one accordingly. He finished the exam it in half the time he thought he would finish. He spent a few minuets dreaming events from his past. He fell through, and landed on… on… on… some jacks. Yuzai woke up to find the same jacks that had stuck him in the morning stuck him again. “AAAAAAAAAUUUGH!!!!!!!!” He screamed. “Oops. Heh heh… Gomena-sai mother.” He had screamed in his mom’s face. “As I was saying,” she said, “Clean up those jacks, you might hurt yourself! Also too, it’s time for dinner, so wash up.” You have no idea how many times I hurt myself with those jacks. Thought Yuzai, and went to wash while his mom went downstairs.
 * When Yuzai headed downstairs, almost everyone greeted him while eating. Almost everyone being his dad, Yusei Fudo, his mom, Aki Fudo, Argo, Sakura, Uncle Jack, Aunt Carly, Aurora, and Heather. Apparently, they were all eating before he came down. “Sorry to keep you all waiting!” Said Yuzai apologetically. “I fell asleep while doing my homework. Where are Akito, Yuki, Yutske, and Akiya?” This remark sparked up a fierce conversation about the New Domino school system, homework, and a supplement of children. Aurora was the most excited about the topic of school. She kept talking about incidents in her class at the IIDK, (She went to the same institute Yuzai and his siblings went to and was a white rank student) such as worms in hair, bad teachers, unreasonable grades, and even trap doors leading to sewers. “How do you know about this?” Asked Yuzai. Aurora tossed her long black hair sideways. “Because of the news boards on the walls! One student got an “F” because the one and only question on her test was, “Do chicken’s have lips?” And the teacher said it was true! Only, the teacher was a chicken human with lips, but all the same, that’s just one chicken human.” “Oops, my bad,” Yusei said trying to suppress a smile. “In my laboratory, I tried to make a chicken with lips that could talk and have intellectual skills, but it came out wrong, so it looked like a human with a chicken head with lips.” “Seriously?” Thought Yuzai. “A test tube chicken with lips? Weird…” He took a swig of Tabasco and picked up the crimson family dog, Firefox. He stroked his little head and gave him a chunk of XYZ bread. Firefox was the only one in the household that could digest the stuff. “Hi dad, were back!’ Shouted a voice from the door. It was Yuzai’s four other younger siblings. “How did you play go?” Asled Yusei, sipping some tea. “It was alright.” They collected their rightful meals, and went upstairs.
 * “Yusei, don’t you think you have enough kids to handle?” Asked uncle Jack.
 * “Five? Heck, yeah. It’s just the XYZ bread and MIRACLE glue on market, my contract with the Japanese Association of War after I invented Vylon, and the science company I founded that’s keeping us afloat.” Aki cleared her throat, and glanced at Yusei meaningfully. He took the note, and added, “Aki, too, has made a deal with a pharmacy. So, that counts as extra income too.” his face drooped. “But things haven’t been the same without Sasuke.” Sasuke was everyone’s biggest brother, older than Argo. But after he graduated college at age 16, he disappeared, with the authorities saying he died in a duel. No one talked about Sasuke in the Fudo family, for it was just too melancholy to talk about.
 * After dinner, the parents went into the living room and had a conversation about some loony named Rex Goodwin in, “Their Younger Years”. So instead of listening, the kids went upstairs and played Starcraft 8. At around 10:00, the Atlas’ left. After taking showers and putting on pajamas, Yuzai, Argo, and Sakura went downstairs where their parents were sipping tea and still talking about Rex Goodwin and someone else called “Z-ONE” who apparently was supposed to be a, “bad guy”. The shindig was quickly over, and all fell asleep.
 * CC time!
 * YuseiI would have no inclination of making a test-tube chicken!!
 * Aki: Oh, no, Yusei! Our kids have psychic powers too!
 * Leo: LOL!
 * Matthew: That was… short.
 * Jack: Why do I have to have two daughters?!
 * Carly: I had no say in this!
 * Yuma: Huh? Rex Goodwin? Signers? Z-One? 5d’s? Why am I just hearing this?!
 * Aki: My husband doesn’t seem like he would chip a molar easily…
 * Matthew: Well, a bit better…
 * Patrick: I guess… and, like I said before, the chapters 1-10 aren’t very stellar. They’re currently the worst. Please comment nicely.

 * The next morning was okay. In the morning, Yuzai woke up to find his four other siblings, (each were two pairs of twins, the first pair four years younger and the second pair six years than him) Akito and Y!uki, sitting on his bed, crossed legged. “SURRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPRRRRRRIIIIIIIZZZZEE!!!!” They yelled. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!” Yuzai shouted. The noise was triple the din of an ambulance! He heard his mom choke on her coffee as it went up her nose downstairs. They all laughed. “You should’ve seen your face! It was priceless!” Yuzai rustled his hair. “I bet it was.” he said.
 * “It’s Saturday right?”
 * “Yup!” Replied Akito happily. The black and red haired teen yawned. “By the way, Yuzai, Battle City is on. You wanna watch it?” Yuki reminded him. Yuzai stretched leisurely. “Naw. I’ve got local’s to go to.” he got up, changed, went downstairs, and got his deck, and joined Argo and Sakura by the door. “Bye dad!!” Yelled Sakura. “Bye.” their father looked currently uninterested in their leaving while he read the paper.
 * At the Kame Game Shop, they bought a few packs and opened them. “Hey, Sakura,” called Yuzai. “I got a card you might want.” he revealed the Eltanin Phoenix (Atk/1400 Def/1000 lv4 light winged beast/effect: When this card is sent from the top of your deck and sent to the graveyard by a card effect, special summon it. When this card is destroyed either by battle or by card effect, return up to 3 Eltanin monsters except for Eltanin Phoenix, back to the owners deck and send the top three cards of your deck to the graveyard.), an essential part of an Eltanin deck which relied on milling, (Sending the top cards of your deck to the graveyard) Special Summoning, and returning used up monsters back to the deck. Sakura shook her head. “No I already have three.” Yuzai’s eyes drooped. “Darn.” they played a few games with other people, traded, bartered, and won. They went back home at 2:00. When they entered, Akito, Yuki, Yutske, and Akyia playing “Halo: 4” greeted them. “Whassup?” they asked in unison. “Actually, we should be asking YOU that question.” said Argo.
 * “What are you doing, playing our games?”
 * “Well, it’s not that gory.”
 * “Where are mom and dad?”
 * “Having some alone time at the Lab.”
 * The lab was the place where their mom and dad experimented with different ingredients and had romance time.
 * “Ok, well here’s another question.”
 * “Bring it. Oh, Akyia, now your in trouble!” Akito said as he dual armed.
 * “What’s that horrible stench?”
 * “That I can’t answer.”
 * “Why?”
 * “Because I don’t know what it is! Duh!”
 * Argo looked at Yuzai. If none of the kids knew what a smell was, it meant their mom was making a new scientific recipe for dinner. “Oh, no.” Yuzai said moaning as he looked in the pot. “Oh, no.” “What is it? “ asked Sakura. “Dandy lion roots. Oh, no, oh, no.” He never tasted dandy lion roots, but they looked disgusting. Like deranged noodles with chunks of things he couldn’t identify. “Dude, if Ms. LeBlanc were here, she would dump this mess.” Ms. LeBlanc was a friend and rival of his father during their, “Younger Ages.” “What are we gonna do!?” asked Yuzai to Argo. “Simple. We endure it.” That’s Argo, thought Yuzai. He’s been practicing the art of Gaman. As he went up to his room, he saw a piece of mail on his bed. “Mail? Wow. I never get mail.” He opened it. It was a special package from Kame Game Shop containing “Halo 13”. “All, right! Halo for Xbox 360!” Yuzai said. The phone rang. “I’ll get it!!” Yelled Sakura. “Hello? Oh, hello Mrs. Kyosuke. Uh huh. Ok. Sure! Hold on. Yuzai!!”
 * She yelled.
 * “Yeah?”
 * “Suzaku is coming over. Do you have homework?!”
 * “No!”
 * Yuzai smiled. “Time to kick some X-Saber butt.”
 * Later that day, Yuzai and Suzaku were bored out their skulls. They had dueled a couple of times, and each duelist had won thrice. Suzaku went first, set a monster in def mode, and set two cards in his back-row. Yuzai drew for turn, and summoned Cosmos Linker (Lv 4 Atk/0 Def/1000 Dark Machine : When this card is normal summoned, special summon one Lv4 monster from your deck in face up def position. Its effect(s) are negated, and it is banished during the end phase.) With its effect, he summoned Speed Warrior. Starring for Star Rose Dragon, he then attacked with the Dragon. The facedown monster was Super-Nimble Mega Hamster, which was destroyed, and summoned another beast from his deck in facedown def mode. Yuzai set one and passed. Suzaku drew, and flip summoned his Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter, which destroyed Star Rose and milled the top three cards of its owner’s deck. Suzaku then summoned XX-Saber Boggart Knight, and with its effect he special summoned X-Saber Uruz. He Overlayed them to summon Steelswarm Roach, and attacked Yuzai directly dropping him to 3100 LP. Fudo drew, and activated Monster Reborn to bring back the Star Rose. Suzaku detached an overlay unit, and destroyed the summoned monster. Yuzai set one, and ended. Suzaku drew, and normal summoned another Boggart Knight which summoned X-Saber Palamuro and synchro’d for X-Saber Wayne which summoned X-Saber Galahad. Since he had two X-Sabers, Suzaku special summoned XX-Saber Faultroll. With the effect of Faultroll, he special summoned X-Saber Palamuro again, and synchro’d for another Wayne. Before any swarming could countinue, Yuzai activated Forced Plasma Cascade, (Counter Trap. Activate only when a more than three monsters are special summoned in the same turn. Destroy all monsters on the field, and inflict damage to both players equal to the atk of the combined monsters.) Making both life point totals 0. “Hey, that was cheap!” Complained Takyua.
 * “Heh, that card was a promo from regionals, so don’t feel bad.”
 * “I know, but I was ready for an OTK!”

Chptr 4: The Ninja Naoto! “Vanishing Hope slams you with 2500 smackers!” Naoto was flung across the room, about to hit a decorative rock! Yuzai took out a monster card. Goblindbergh. “Goblindbergh!” A little imp in an airplane flew across, and got between Naoto and the rock just in time. Goblindbergh came back, with a stunned look on his face. Chptr 5: Bwitish Gowfing: First Day Roji went first, and summoned Hydra Viper. He set two cards and ended. Yuzai drew, and summoned Cosmos Linker which summoned Doppelwarrior, and starred for Star Rose Dragon. He attacked and Roji activated Polymeripotion, (Quick-play spell: Select one monster on your side of the field and one monster your opponent controls. Reduce your opponents monsters attack points to zero, and banish your monster and a monster in your hand to summon a fusion monster from your fusion deck that has those fusion materials printed in face-up defense position.) And reduced Red Star’s atk to 0 and summoned Elemental Hero Absolute Zero in Def mode. Yuzai set three, and passed. Roji drew, and switched Absolute Zero to atk mode and attacked! Yuzai activated the counter trap card Blow-Horn of Bayard, (Counter trap: Activate only when an opponents monster declares an attack. Negate that attack. Draw one card, and special summon one Bayard Token. (Atk/1200 Def/1000 Light Fairy lv 3) negated the attack, and summoned the Bayard token with an extra card in his hand. Roji exclaimed and ended. Yuzai drew, activated Tribute to the Doomed, discarded Cactus Bouncer, and destroyed Absolute Zero. Roji destroyed all other cards on the field with Zero’s ability. He destroyed Statue of Malice, which summoned a Statue Token. (Atk/0 Def/0 Lv1 Dark fiend) Yuzai summoned Majestic Sphere of Hope (Atk/0 Def/0 lv 2 Light fairy: When a card on the field is destroyed by card effect, special summon this card from your hand.) And discarded The Fabled Cerreberel (Which was summoned) to summon Royal Crusader (Atk/2100 def/1200 Water warrior lv 5: You can discard one card to special summon this card form your hand). He then synchro’d for Trishula Dragon of the Ice Barrier! He banished the token, Absolute Zero, and a card in the opponent’s hand, and attacked, dropping Roji to 5300 Life Points. Roji drew, set a card in his back row, and ended. Yuzai drew and activated Monster Reborn, bringing back Cosmos Linker which summoned T.G. Striker. He then played Burial From the Stars (Normal spell: Return one banished special treatment monster to the extra deck.) To return Star Rose, and re- summoned it in atk mode. He attacked with Star Rose, and lowered Roji’s LP to 3800, and attacked with Trish making that 3800 1100. Yuzai used X2 Impact (Normal spell: Activate only while you control two or more face-up lv 7 or higher monsters. You can conduct your battle phase twice this turn.) To finish it. Chptr 6: Yuck, and Top Tiers
 * Yuzai woke up on Sunday. As on queue. At 6:00. He got up, changed clothes, went downstairs, greeted everyone else, poured himself a bowl of chocolate frosted sugar bombs, and an English muffin with butter and jam. No one talked that morning for an hour. Finally, Akito’s voice broke the silence saying, “Dad, if you’re done with that newspaper, can I borrow it?” Yusei agreed, and Sakura asked her mom to trade the book review for the Dueling column. It seemed like all everyone wanted now was the newspaper. Argo took out his phone and texted his friend. That reminded Yuzai of his phone that Suzaku had put in the oven a few months ago. He finished his breakfast, and realized that Firefox had his mouth on Yuzai leg. He took his mouth off, and revealed twelve bite marks. Deep. No pierced skin though. “Sorry about that Yuzai.” his father said.
 * “I’ve been feeding him too much XYZ bread that I think he may have a small case of rabies. I have to get him to the vet today.”
 * “Good to know.” Yuzai muttered. The doorbell rang. Yusei opened it to reveal a mailman carrying a very heavy box.
 * “Eleven booster boxes worth of Hidden Arsenal X39: ‘Chaotic Thunder’”
 * “Ok.” he closed the door and opened the boxes. “One box for Yuzai, one box for Argo, one box for Sakura, one box for Akito, one box for Yuki, one box for Aki, and one box for me.”
 * “I thought you gave up buying these booster boxes.” Yuzai’s mom thought out loud.
 * “Yeah, but this booster series comes with all these re-prints, tournament exclusives, and new cards! Plus too, there was this great deal where you buy one and get one free.” Aki rolled her eyes, but still opened her box. Yuzai took his box and also opened it. He revealed the first pack of nine cards (These cards will be of importance later). Later, he and his siblings (except for Argo) went to the park. Akito, Yuki played on the swings; slides and teeter totters while Yuzai and Sakura entertained themselves with Duel Monsters. They didn’t notice a tall and mean lad coming over. “Hey, you two! My name’s Roji! You wanna duel?!” Sakura tried to stop him, but Yuzai accepted.
 * “Sure! I never back down from a duel! You’ll duel too, right Sakura?!”
 * “Uuuh. Sure.” Roji smirked. “Heh, you squirts won’t stand a chance against my “stolen” Chaos Genus deck!” Yuzai had no idea what Chaos Genus was, but still readied his disk.
 * “Ready, Sakura?”
 * “Ready.”
 * “Duel!”
 * (Roji draws)
 * “Ore no tan! I summon Chaos Genus Serpentine!”
 * (Atk/1200 Def/1200 Dark reptile tuner lv 3: You can tribute this card to summon one C.G. monster from your hand.)
 * “And now I tribute it to summon Chaos Genus Megafrog!”
 * (Atk/2400 Def/1200 Dark machine lv 6: When this card attacks, you can special summon one C.G. monster from you hand. Then switch this card’s attack and defense.)
 * “And one card face down. Turn endo.”
 * (Sakura draws)
 * “I summon my spirit card! Eltanin Crystal Tiger!”
 * (Atk/1800 Def/1200 Light beast lv 4: When this card is milled from the top of your deck, special summon it. When this card attacks, increase its atk by 400 until the end phase. Then, mill the top four cards of your deck.)
 * “Then I activate Eltanin Add!”
 * (Normal spell: Add one lv four or lower Eltanin monster from you deck to your hand)
 * “So I add Eltanin Porcu! And when Eltanin Porcu is added, I can decrease your monsters atk by 500 points!”
 * C.G. Megafrog: Atk/1900
 * “I attack with Tiger! Eltanin Drop Claw!”
 * (C.G. Megafrog is shattered)
 * Roji LP 7300
 * “Ugh. Well, I activate the CGE24 trap!”
 * (Normal trap: Activate only when a C.G. monster is destroyed. Destroy the attacking monster.)
 * (Eltanin Crystal Tiger is destroyed)
 * “Aaagh!! That wasn’t supposed to happen!”
 * “That was, and now your Tiger’s side effect activates! You take four cards from your deck!”
 * Sakura: Cards in deck: 46
 * “Well, I set two, and end.”
 * (Yuzai draws)
 * “I drew the nuts! I summon Cosmos Linker, and summon with it’s effect I summon Tenshin! Then, I star them together to Cosmic summon Red Star Dragon!”
 * “I’m not done! Since I have a Cosmic monster, I special summon Ally Synchron!”
 * (Atk/1200 Def/200 Fire warrior tuner lv 3: While you control a face-up cosmic monster you can special summon this card from your hand. When this card is special summoned this way, you can add a level five monster from your deck to your hand.)
 * “Then I add The Dark Oracle.”
 * (Atk/1600 Def/2000 Wind spellcaster lv 5: when this card is added from the deck to the hand, special summon it in defense mode, and reduce this cards atk and def to zero.)
 * “So I tune Ally Synchron with The Dark Oracle to summon Stardust Dragon! And now I activate a spell card known as Double Duty!”
 * (Spell card: Pay 2000 life points. All monsters you control can attack twice during this battle phase.)
 * “I attack twice with Stardust and Red Star Dragon!”
 * Roji LP 0
 * “That ain’t fair!” Whined Roji as he crashed into the restroom, making a hole. “I’ll just take your cards!” He rushed over to Yuzai and Sakura and swiped their decks from their slots. “Hey! No one takes my deck!” Both Yuzai and Sakura ran after him, waving fists. They couldn’t catch up. They went over the hills, and under the hills and around the hills. Gonna hafta fly. Thought Yuzai. He thought, “FLY!!” And up he went. “Yuzai!!” Sakura yelled.
 * “Remember, I can’t do that, so your going to have to get my deck back for me!!”
 * “No prob!” After around an hour or two, Yuzai got a headache. “Uh, oh.” he thought, and plummeted, and sprained his ankle. “Why Roji, you dirty, rotten, deranged, sickening, revolting, piece of scum! Drop dead! I hope you…!” He never finished his sentence. As Roji was hurrying away, a taller figure in brown IIDK robes with glasses and spiky green hair intercepted Roji in his tracks. “Just where are you going?” He asked. Roji was speechless. “I… I…. I…” He stuttered.
 * “Hey, are you holding two duel decks that you stole from Yuzai and Sakura Fudo who live at Dynamo street even thought you lost sorely and did some really stupid moves?”
 * “Shut up!” Roji shouted. He tried to punch him, but he just dodged and took back the decks. “Whoops. Guess you don’t know who your dealing with.” The brown student said smiling. “Well, just so you know, my name’s Hutsuhara, Rosgol. And you better run ‘cuz my Samnite’s right behind you.” it was true. A big saber toothed tiger was standing behind Roji, readying his blade. Roji ran for his life, with a Gladiator Beast Samnite running after the card swiper. Rosgol walked over toward Yuzai. “You alright?” he asked reaching out a hand. He took it.
 * “I’m fine. Just a sprained ankle.”
 * “I wouldn’t call that all right.”
 * “My definition of ‘all right’ is different.” Rosgol asked what happened, and Yuzai told him about the incident. “If you two ran after Roji,” concluded Rosgol. “Then where are the little kids?” Yuzai thought about that. “Oh, shoot. Thanks for reminding me.” he was off running. Mom is going SO kill me.
 * “So there was a bully? And you beat him? And he swiped your cards? And Yuzai flew with psyhic powers? And Rosgol saved your decks? And you left Akito, Yuki, Yutske, and Akiya behind?!! That’s outrageous! How could you?! Leaving your younger brothers and sisters behind for who-knows what, and flying without permission, well I never…” that was what their mother had said when Sakura told her. It was fun to watch. Yusei looked fascinated, Aki looked like she stepped in a mousetrap, the younger kids were staring in awe, and Argo was, well, being cool and smiling. “Lay off Aki.” their father said.
 * “But Yusei…”
 * “They did what they had to do. They beat that bully. That’s what counts, and besides, the younger kids are strong enough. Telepathically speaking.” more sashimi was served. And dandy lion roots which everyone except for Yusei rejected.
 * CC’s! CC’s!
 * Aki: You were correct in how I would react if my kids met a bully…
 * Crow: Hey, Jack! I bet Roji would make a good kid for you!
 * Jack: Har-har. (Punches him)
 * Leo: Couldn’t be better!
 * Yuma: This is weird… I don’t think I belong in this story…
 * Astral: That’s because you don’t.
 * Big Brother: Well, much better, compared to the first chapter.
 * WHATTHEHECK67: LOL. So, like I said before, the chapters 1-10 aren’t very stellar. They’re currently the worst. Please comment nicely.
 * Notes:
 * Yusei has stepped down from CEO, and has hired Blister to be in place of him. Yusei becomes Vice-CEO.

 * “I’m late!! I’m late!!” Those words came from up stairs as if a fire was up. “Why are you always late?” Yuzai’s mom asked as her son came charging down in IIDK robes and texts and such. “I don’t know, but I’m late!!” No breakfast. Just a loaf of XYZ bread. On the bus, Yuzai noticed a strange kid with gray hair and an orange headband back flip to the end of the bus. “Weird.” thought Yuzai. This kid was new. At class, it turned out the kid was in Yuzai’s class, and was automatically placed in black. They took a test that day about field spells, and the ninja kid got an A+! Unheard of for a black grade student. Yuzai usually got C’s and F’s. At lunch, he ate nothing but onigiri and water, and cart wheeled passed Yuzai. His deck spilled from his belt. “Hey, wait!” Cried Yuzai as the ninja kid wheeled away. “You dropped your deck!” The kid came back. Running backwards. “Thanks.” he said, taking it.
 * “By the way, my name’s Naoto. I’ve heard you’re one of the top of the class for the black rank dorm.”
 * “Uh, yeah. Why?”
 * “Oh, just wondering. Wanting to know who’s the top of the heap around here.”
 * “You wanna duel?”
 * “Sure.”
 * Naoto took out a large shuriken with a dome in the center, and ejected the four curved blades. Green numbers appeared on the dome. 8000. Yuzai wasn’t so surprised. A custom disk. Nearly everyone did that, even himself. He primed his own, and they dueled. Yuzai drew, and went first. He opened up with a Cosmos Linker special summon, and summoned with its effect Familiar Knight. He then starred for Star Rose Dragon and set one in his back row. Naoto drew, and activated Trick Cube. (Normal spell. Discard a Karakuri card and negate the effect of a monster on the field until the end phase.) He discarded Karakuri Saboteur MDL 111 “Kagemurage” (Atk/2100 Def/1000 Earth machine lv 5: When this card is attacked, change its battle mode. This face-up card can and must attack. When this card is discarded, add one lv 4 or lower Karakuri monster from your deck to your hand.) To negate the effect of Red Star and add Karakuri “Ninishi”. He then summoned Ninishi, and summoned with its effect Karakuri Muso “Haipa”, and synchro’d for Karakuri Shogun “Burei”. He then summoned with the effect of Burei another Ninishi, and summoned with the effect of the Ninishi the Karakuri Soldier “Nisamu” and synchro’d for another Burei which continued the loop for another Karakuri Burei and a Karakuri Knight MDL 3412 “Hiromatsu”. (Atk/1800 Def/1200 Earth machine lv 4: When this card is attacked, change it’s battle mode. This face-up card can and must attack. When this card is sent to the graveyard, you can select a face-up synchro Karakuri monster you control. Special summon a Lv 3 or lower Karakuri monster from your deck.) He attacked with the first Burei with 2600 to Star Rose Dragon. Yuzai activated Cosmic Barrier (Counter trap: Activate only when a face-up Cosmic monster is selected as an attack target. Destroy the attacking monster, and each played draws cards equal to the level of the attacking monster minus five.) and destroyed Burei and each player drew two cards. Naoto ended, and Yuzai drew while Red Star’s effect kicked back in. Yuzai summoned Snipe Hunter, and discarded to roll a die. He rolled a two, and destroyed one Burei, and activated Snipe’s effect again, and rolled a four, destroying another Burei. He did this two more times, and destroyed both of the Burei and the Karakuri Knight. Naoto activated the effect of the knight, and summoned Karakuri Barrel “Shinkuro” in attack mode. Yuzai had no cards in his hand, and attacked with Snipe Hunter. Shinkuro’s effect activated, switching it to defense mode, and not being destroyed. Red Star attacked and destroyed Shinkuro. Naoto drew, and activated Karakuri Cash Stash, (Normal Spell: Special summon a lv 3 or lower Karakuri monster from your graveyard.) and summoned Shinkuro in attack mode. Yuzai banished three cards, and destroyed Shinkuro. He activated Karkuri Cash Swipe (Normal spell: Pay 1000 life points. Add a Karakuri monster from your deck to your hand.) to add Karakuri Archer MDL 1236 “Opi” (Atk/1200 Def/2000 Earth machine lv 3: When this card is summoned, change it’s battled mode. When this card is attacked, change it’s battle mode. When this card is added by a card effect, special summon it and increase this card’s level by three.) dropping Naoto’s life to 7000 and also special summoned Opi with it’s effect. He synchro’d for Karakuri Steel Shogun “Bureido” and summoned with its effect Karakuri Ninja “Nanashick” in defense mode and drew two cards. He then switched Nanashick’s battle mode to attack position to draw a card with the effect of Bureido. He attacked with Bureido and destroyed Star Rose. This left Yuzai with 7700. Naoto attacked directly with Nanashick, making Yuzai’s life points 5500. Yuzai drew, and activated Burial From A Different Dimension and returned the three cards he banished with the effect of Red Star Dragon. Then he activated the spell Diversion Tactics (Quick-play spell: Your opponent can banish one monster in your graveyard instead of attacking.) and the spell card Foolish Burial to send Cursing Seal (Atk/0 Def/0 Dark machine lv 4: When this card is sent from the deck to the graveyard, send two Cursing Seals from the deck to the graveyard. Then you can discard a card.) And two other Cursing Seals to the graveyard. He set one card, and ended. Naoto drew. He banished Bureido, Nanashick, and all the other Karakuri monsters in his graveyard as well 1000 life points to summon Karakuri Emperor MDL 000XLP “Negabonté (Atk/6400 Def/0 Earth machine lv 12: This card cannot be normal summoned or set except by banishing, from your side of the field and in your graveyard all Karakuri monsters.) Naoto, with 6000 life points, banished a Cursing Seal from Yuzai’s graveyard. Yuzai activated Forbidden Infinity (Normal Trap: When a Card in your graveyard is banished, all monsters your opponent controls can and must attack three times during this battle phase, and for each monster that is banished this turn, your opponent takes 1000 damage.) And inflicted 4000 damage to Naoto, since he attacked three times additionally, making his life points 2000. Ouch. Naoto ended. Yuzai had no cards in his hand, and no face-downs. He drew, and activated Vanishing Hope. (Normal Spell: Banish one Cosmic monster from your graveyard. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the atk of the banished monster.) So he banished Red Star Dragon and won.

 * “Wow. How’d you do that?”
 * “Psychic powers I got from my mom’s side. That’s all.”
 * “You mean Aki Fudo? Nice. By the way, you only won because of luck! Have you been to DMCS?”
 * “No. What’s that?”
 * “It’s the Duel Monsters Championship Series. It goes all over the world.”
 * “Huh. Never been too one. But when the chance comes, I think I’ll go. Oh, could I get your number? Maybe we could duel again sometime.”
 * “Sure.” They exchanged numbers (Yuzai gave Naoto his house phone, because his phone got baked as said in the previous chapter.) and left for geometry class.
 * When Yuzai got home, he saw his mother shaking her finger at Akito and Yuki, saying things like, “Why did you do that?” “That was outrageous!”,and “That’s the last straw!” As the two siblings were sent upstairs, Yuzai asked what happened. “Those two said were working together to put three tacks on the teacher’s chair! Mr. Popnfresh had three hole marks in his rear, and gave them D’s!!” Yuzai’s mom stormed out of the house to pick some apples. Sakura came out of the closet carrying a sleeping bag and foam golf club. “What’s that for?” Asked Yuzai. “Oh, it’s for British Golfing week. Didn’t you know? Tomorrow, were going to Heartland and play British Golf for three days.” Yuzai had forgotten. British Golf wasn’t like normal, smooth, clean, and patient golf. Instead it was rough, with pushing, hitting, grabbing, holding, and running. It was much different. British Golfing was where two teams, one on one side of a 100 meter field and one on the other, carried special tough foam golf clubs and tried to get the ball, a 2 inch in diameter wooden solid sphere, to the opposing side of the field. You could do anything you wanted to get the ball, as long as it had something to do with your club, and you don’t touch the ball. It required skill, brawn, intelligence, weight, and a powerful arm to win. Yuzai went upstairs and packed for the British Golfing games. Akito and Yuki were playing Starcraft 8 on his computer. Argo was texting with his, “Little Friend.” “Hey Argo, who’re you texting?” Yuzai looked over his shoulder. Argo quickly closed the lid of his phone.
 * “Aaaah. Kristya Kyosuke, huh?”
 * “Shut it.”
 * “Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone.”
 * Argo grabbed Yuzai by the collar.
 * “No, no really!! I won’t tell anyone!!”
 * He lifted his hands as if he surrendered.
 * “Who’s Kristya Kyosuke?” Asked Akito. Argo looked like he opened a can of worms. “Never mind.”
 * This time, Yuki spoke.
 * “Is she your girlfriend?”
 * “I said NEVER MIND!!”
 * “You know Argo, you can tell us, were family.”
 * Argo spoke through gritted teeth. “I. SAID. NEVER. MIND.”
 * Both of the twins squeaked with an, “eep.”
 * “By the way, Yuzai, don’t criticize me about girlfriends. I KNOW you like Aurora.”
 * “Hey, let’s not jump to conclusions!”
 * Argo changed the subject. “I see your going Brirish Golfing.” He said. Yuzai hoisted his bag. It was cutting into his shoulder. “Yup. For all three days. Are you?”
 * “Are you kidding? Of course I’m going!”
 * “Figures. Your buff, your agile, and your smart. That might buy you Kristya. ”
 * Argo grabbed him in the throat, “I… amm… sooo…busteddd… ack…”
 * CC!
 * Kiryu: What does my daughter look like?
 * Big Brother: Yeah, Pat, what DOES she look like? (Looks accusingly)
 * WHATTHEHECK67: I’ll get to that, I’ll get to that.
 * Yusei: I’m not so sure if I would let my son get asscosiated with your kid, Kailn…
 * Kiryu: What? Why not?
 * Jack: Okay, break it up!
 * Leo: Hee hee. This is great!
 * Luna: I agree!

 * “This shirt doesn’t look like the right one. What do you think, Aki?” That was what Yusei asked to his wife on that Tuesday morning. She responded, “Well, it looks the same as the others. Just leave that one on and go take the kids to Heartland.” All of Yusei’s shirts looked the same. Just one boring red dot with three quarter’s of a circle around it. Argo, Yuzai, and Sakura had already eaten breakfast, and were packing their decks. “You know what card I’m gonna bring, Argo?” Sneered Yuzai.
 * “What?”
 * “DMOC (author’s note: DMOC is pro talk for Dark Magician of Chaos and is currently banned for a good reason)!!!”
 * “That’s forbidden.”
 * “What?! No way!”
 * “Yes way.”
 * Sakura shuffled her deck. “Yeah, Yuzai. Next time, check the school deck billboards.”
 * “Oh, well. At least I still have my trusty Chaos Emperor Dragon…”
 * “That’s forbidden too.”
 * “Why is it,” Said Yuzai raising his hands in the air. “All of my good cards are forbidden?!!!!” Akito raised his head.
 * “Hey, Yuzai, your Hino-Cagu Tsuchi isn’t forbidden, right?”
 * “No, but I don’t use a Spirit deck. Besides, I don’t have the Mausoleum of the Empeerors…” he shook his head. Argo’s phone vibrated. He picked it up and opened it.
 * “Ah. Aurora texted me and asked if we needed a ride.”
 * “(Doggone it, why didn’t Aurora text me?!) Go ask mom if we need it.” Argo went upstairs and asked. “Why, yes of course!” Exclaimed Aki. “Your father has been worried about which shirt to choose, so yes.” “Ok. We will.” Argo texted back, and went back to Yuzai’s room. “Okay, we got ourselves a ride with the Atlas’.” Yuzai was jumping up and down. Argo looked amused. “I bet your happy because Aurora’s gonna be there, huh?” Yuzai shook his head. Not a word. “What is it then?” Yuzai kept looking nervous and jumping up and down for a few seconds. “Speak up!” Nothing. After about thirty seconds, Yuzai finally yelled, “I GOTTA GO TO THE BATHROOM!!!!” Argo was clearly annoyed. “Dude, the bathroom is right over there!” He pointed downstairs. Yuzai hurried down. “The weirdness in this household, I swear!” Sakura took a screwdriver and tightened one of the bolts on her duel disk. “Yeah, I know.” The doorbell rang. “That would be the Atlas’!” Yelled their mom. Yuzai came out of the bathroom and opened the door. “Hello Aurora!” He greeted. “Hello. Are you packed yet?” “Aah, yes, but my bags are upstairs.” He hurried up the stairs, and tripped on his pant leg. “Oof.” Firefox walked on his head, sniffed his hair, and chewed. Yuzai jumped up, and yelled. “Look, you red dog!! My hair isn’t food!” He wrestled with Firefox, and finally got him off. He went into his room, and packed. Meanwhile, Aurora looked paranoid. She was frowning and smiling. “What a wacko.” She thought.
 * Later, in the Atlas’ car, Yuzai told Aurora about what had happened that week, and about Rosgol, Naoto, and Roji. In the middle of the conversation, a sudden voice behind Argo boomed, “Hey, you want a French fry?” A gangly brown-haired teenager with a broken spyglass attached to his ear held up a deep fried piece of potato. “No thanks Scamm,” Said Argo. “I prefer to chew on a steel pencil then that McDonalds disgrace.” Scamm Mekanikle was a poor kid who often rummaged through scrap piles to make his duel disk, D-Gazer, shoes, and other essentials including cards. The Fudo’s felt sympathetic toward him and his family, and offered a large sum of money to the Mekanikles. They declined, however, since making their living off of scrap was what they did best. Scamm wasn’t exactly the most honest type. The blond man hollered. “We’re here! Unpack your bags, and have fun while your father and I rip each other apart!” Ha-ha. Thought Yuzai. His dad and Uncle Jack and always been rivals. They arrived at their dorm, and found Rosgol waiting. “Guess what? Each of these dorms can hold seven peeps! So I’m staying with you guys, if that’s ok.” “That’s fine.” Said Aurora. She looked around. “Hey, where’s the seventh person?” A head with messy white-dyed haired teen stuck his head out of a door. “I am.” Yuzai called out. “Suzaku? I thought you weren’t going British Golfing!” “Well, mom’s out of New Domino, and dad is still at Crash Town helping to reconstruct, so they let me go.” He ventured into Suzaku’s room. It was around 9x10 feet long, and had a bunk bead on the side. Yuzai tossed his bags to the side. “Ha-ha, I see you ordered that new booster box. ‘Return of the Olde Archatype’, right?” Suzaku didn’t answer. Sakura wiped her face with a wet towel. “Phew. Its hot!” Yuzai touched his forehead. “Yeah, it is. Hey Suzaku, want to step outside and get some fresh air?” Suzaku nodded. “Aurora? You wanna come too?” She accepted and they were out the door, talking about BLS (author’s note: BLS is pro talk for Black Luster Soldier, Envoy of the Beginning).
 * When they arrived at a open green area, they sat down. Silence. For 15 minuets. Yuzai spoke. “Awkward.” Aurora giggled. Still nothing. Finally, Suzaku stood up, and declared, “The first one to do 50 push-ups gets one of my cards!” “Forget it!” His friends shouted. Soon, they saw a figure walkig their way. Yuzai looked annoyed. “Ahh, shucks.” Groaned Yuzai. This guy won’t quit!” “Who is it?” “Roji. Who else?” The bully walked up to Yuzai, towering over him. “Hey Aurora!” He crowed. “Why do you hang out with these losers?! You’d be much better off with me, a real duelist!” Yuzai primed his disk.
 * “Why don’t you prove it, Roji?”
 * “Aah. You again. I’m gonna squish ya!!”
 * “Bring it on!”
 * “LET’S DUEL!”

 * “Bring it on!”
 * “LET’S DUEL!”
 * In less than three turns and ten minutes, Roji was running for his money. Literally.
 * “You did great, Yuzai!” Cheered Suzaku.
 * “Your just like your dad!”
 * Yuzai looked puzzled. “Why do you say that?”
 * “Well, you beat that guy sound in less than ten minutes! Only you could’ve done that!”
 * Yuzai looked crestfallen.
 * “What is it?”
 * “Well, I think Argo would’ve pulled an FTK in less than one minuet.”
 * “What??! Come on forget about Argo! What matters is that you beat that guy so swift! Also too, Six Sams can’t do a FTK!”
 * Yuzai lightened.
 * “Yeah, I guess your right.”
 * “You need a confidence boost.”
 * The two laughed and revised their decks. Meanwhile, Aurora was thinking. “A confidence boost, huh?” She thought. “I think I need one…” As the twosome took out a few cards in their decks here and there, Suzaku noticed Aurora staring at Yuzai, and quickly turned. He nudged his friend, and whispered,
 * “Hey, dude, guess who’s the lovebird!!”
 * “Dunno. Anyway, I summon…”
 * “DUDE!!” Suzaku punched him.
 * “Ow! What?!”
 * “I think Aurora likes you.”
 * Yuzai looked surprised.
 * “Who? Me?”
 * “Of course, Dr. Phil! Haven’t you noticed her staring at you!!?”
 * “No. Why?”
 * Suzaku rolled his eyes.
 * “Forget it. But I know you know that YOU like her, so quit the oblivious act!”
 * Yuzai paid no attention. Suzaku sighed. “Maybe you are oblivious.”
 * CC’s, once again!
 * Jack: Author, I’m not glad at all my daughter is in love with Yusei’s kid.
 * Yusei: Come on, Jack! They’ll make a great couple!
 * Aki: I don’t think it’s in Yusei and mine’s genes that our kid would wait that long to use the bathroom.

 * Later that evening, the three went back to the dorm, and were awakened by a ghastly stench. “Ugggh. Sakura, did something die?!” Yuzai complained. “No, it’s dinner from the fridge.” Said his sister as she took a tray of “overcooked” fish from the stove. “Did you make it?” Scamm was amused. “No, it was courtesy of some sort of a human with chicken lips. Funny huh?” Yuzai turned to Argo. “Did you tell him?” Argo shook his head. “Gaman.” Everyone rolled his or her eyes. Rosgol came out of his room and said, “I like chicken nuggets!” And quickly withdrew. “What the heck.” Said Scamm. He fiddled with a gear contraption. Sakura was unimpressed. “So, you guys just gonna stand there, and starve?” “Aah, no.” Aurora quickly replied. “Er… right?” Yuzai nodded reluctantly. They all sat down, and ate. Rosgol served the seafood.
 * “Suzaku. Don’t look at the fish.”
 * “Why?”
 * “Let us just say you might regurgitate something.”
 * “Well, I’m lookin’… OH GROSS!!”
 * He held up a pipish looking thing with his hashi.
 * “What is it?” Aurora wrinkled her nose
 * “A TUBE of some sort.”
 * “Gross. Looks like a gastral pipe.”
 * “No, its black. And hard. Like plastic.”
 * Yuzai sniffed in contently. “So this is our dinner? Moldy onigiri, stale poke’, fish with plastic components, and a dish filled with something I can’t even identify?” Argo gritted his teeth. A metal disk was caught in his mouth. “GAMAN.” Everyone was silent.
 * That night, Yuzai couldn’t sleep in his sleeping bag, which was on the floor. So he took out his phone. He realized he didn’t have a phone. So he forgot about it. Nothing happened. Just crickets. He heard a voice whispering to him from behind. “Psst. Hey. Yuzai. Hey!” He turned, and saw Aurora sitting up.
 * “What is it? WHEN is it?”
 * “It’s four o’.”
 * “Uuugh. If you wanna duel, duel tommorow.”
 * “I wasn’t going to say that.”
 * “What is it?”
 * “Uuum… Well… um… I… uh.”
 * “Ok. G’night.”
 * “Morning.” Greeted Sakura, who had woken up her twin brother. “We’re probably late for the team.” Scamm checked at his watch. “Hey, it’s 9:00. We’d better get going if we want to go British Golfing.” They packed their clubs and water, and headed out to the track. Coach Nunofit was barking orders to the Golfing team like an angry chinchilla. “You there, move it! You can’t stand there all day! Oh, look! Someone forgot about something called the TRASH CAN!! You people clean up okay?! Aha!!” He pointed at Yuzai. “I bet you haven’t been doing your daily 50 push-ups, huh!! Well, get down and give me ‘em!” “Yes coach.” He did the push-ups, and got practicing his scoops and turns. About an hour later, they had a game with the Schoolers, an opposing team with a knack for speed. The score was set. 0/0. The crisp morning air was broken with the barking words of Coach Nunofit, dressed in a purple plastic pants, and orange mohawk. “BEGIN!” Everyone ran toward the golfball, clubs swinging. Yuzai got hit in the nose. It started to bleed. In anger, he rushed someone, and hit as hard as possible. When he looked at him, it wasn’t the opponent. It was Aurora. A bump rose. “Eh heh… gomene-sai, Aurora.” She was clearly paranoid. “You little… hit the other guy!! Not me!” Yuzai was about to say something, when the Coach hollered, “HEY! GET MOVING! YOU CANT STAND THERE ALL DAY!” Three people were chasing a guy with a Red Ribbon (From Dragon Ball) hat who had the ball! Yuzai ran after him too, but was quickly tackled from behind. Argo picked the person up, and threw him away. “Get. Up!!” He growled. Yuzai got up, and threw his club at the ball. It hit the wooden sphere! And fell into a pitfall of water. “I’ll get it!!” Yelled Yuzai. He dived in the water, and realized it was deeper than he imagined. It was at least thirty feet deep. He dived some more, hoping to find the ball. At the bottom, he saw something long and scaly. It moved. The ball was in the teeth of… a CROCODILE!! The British Golfer yelled, and lost all of the air in his lungs. He quickly swam up, and gasped for breath. “THERE’S A CROC DOWN THERE!!” He shouted. Of course, no one believed him. He got out of the pool, and told Argo what he saw. “A croc, eh?” He said. “Let’s see.” He concentrated his psychic powers, and the croc flew out! “Har-har Yuzai.” He scoffed. “It’s a student in a suit.” “Heyyyy!!” The person yelled. “Put. Me. Down!! Or else!” Argo was having fun.
 * “Or else what?”
 * “Or else duel me!!” The person primed a waterproof duel disk.
 * “Ok. I accept.” Argo put him down, and pulled out his disk.
 * “LET’S DUEL!”
 * (Argo draws)
 * “I activated Six Samurai United, Shien’s Dojo, and Gateway of the Six! Next, since I control no monsters, I summon Kageyama of the Six Samurai, (Atk/1400 Def/1200 lv 4 Earth warrior: While you control no cards, you can special summon this card from your hand.) and that places a counter on my Dojo, and United, and two counters on gateway! Next, I send my Dojo to the grave to summon Shien’s Squire, and since I have a face-up samurai, I can summon my Legendary Six Samurai Kizan! That’s more counters, so I pop the united to draw two cards, and I remove four counters off of Gateway to add Grandmaster of the Six Samurai! And now, I tune the Squire with Kizan to summon Shi En! That’s two counters, so since I already have a sam, I summon the Grandmaster! Another two counters, so I add Six Samurai of Origin-Suzo, (Atk/1700 Def/600 lv 4 Earth warrior: While you control another six samurai monster, you can special summon this card from your hand. When this card battles a monster, you can destroy this card after damage calculation, and add a level three or lower six samurai monster from your deck to your hand.) And summon it! That’s two more counters, so I summon another Kizan, making four counters, so I remove them to add Kagemusha of the Six Samurai to my hand! I normal summon it, and star my Kizan and Kagemusha to summon Ultimate Six Samurai Akira! (Atk/2500 Def/2000 lv 8 Earth warrior cosmic, one level 4 Six Samurai x one level 2 Six Samurai monster: Counter trap cards cannot be activated. When this card destroys a monster by battle, you can discard a card to special summon a level 3 or lower Samurai monster from either player’s graveyard.) I set three cards facedown, and end! Beat that!” The crocodile duelist scooped.

 * “FIRE! FIRE!” Suzaku yelled. “FIRE! FIRE! Argo, go wake everyone up! I’ll try to put this out!” Argo rushed to Yuzai’s room. “Hey! Suzaku burned up breakfast! Wake up!!” Everyone shouted “GO AWAY.” until they smelled smoke. All rose, panicked and got buckets of water from the pantry. Suzaku looked down at his frying pan. “Hey. Fire’s out.” “Just to make sure, I think I’ll just douse it.” Yuzai took a bottle, popped the cap off, and flooded the surface of the pan. It ignited again, only this time a bigger flame arose. “AAAH! AAAH!” Suzaku yelled. “Yuzai, you poured OLIVE OIL on it!! FIRE! FIRE!! (YOU DUMMY) FIRE!” Scamm took out his bucket of water and splashed it on the pan. Gone. “Phew,” said Suzaku. “I thought the whole place was gonna burn down. So, Scamm, get me a chisel, will you?” “What do you need that for?” He asked as he dug into his pocket and handed him the tool. “To scrape it off. So, who wants some burntola eggs and bacon?” All declined, and packed their golf bags.
 * At the field, every person on the turf was doing either push-ups, crunches, or chin-ups. Coach Nunofit ordered everybody extra work-outs, since they lost so badly the other day. “All of you slugs lost 23-0! Thanks to you, Yuzai, so it looks like you get an extra 100 push-ups and 50 more crunches!! Get on it, the rest of you practice your swipes and dives! MOVE IT!!!” All got down to business, and practiced their moves or exercised. They played another game against the Cars, Busses, Backpacks, Vermin, and the Rats, and beat them all! Suzaku partied, “Oh, yeah!! Hi-fives and root beers all around! Oh, yeah!” “DON’T GET YOUR HOPES UP,” Screamed Coach Nunofit through his megaphone, “WE STILL HAVE TO BEAT THE VIPERS!!” The Vipers were a special team specializing in inflicting pain using special clubs. Not all of them had the same effect, however. One shot you with 1000 volts of electricity, another had special air pumps in the back that propelled the club with additional power. The most terrifying one was a club that had a blunt needle at the tip. “Ok,” said Suzaku. “Where… are… they?” He looked around in confusion. “THE’RE RIGHT THERE, DUMMY!” Coach pointed ahead at a swarm of people coming in about twenty yards away. Their leader, Seika Kohinata, was in the head of a triangular viper head of people. Seika was one of the top students in the IIDK, but dropped out due to expulsion. There were rumors that she was expelled because she killed other students!! When the Vipers came, Seika flashed her reptillian yellow eyes at Yuzai as if to say, “I’m gonna knock out your brains right now!”. Her short black hair seemed to move on it’s own. “So,” she hissed. “Who here wants to duel me?!” Coach Nunofit was bewildered. “WHAT? I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BRITISH GOLFING MATCH, NOT DUEL MONSTERS!” Seika ignored him, and pointed at Yuzai with a long finger nail. “How about you? That crest on you hand is very intriguing, how about a duel and your destruction?” She primed her disk, which looked like a snakehead. “Umm, I like the duel, but please, no destruction!” Yuzai backed away, taking out his deck. “There’s no escape!” the leader of the Vipers hissed. A shadowy darkness enveloped the both. There was no ground, and it seemed like gravity doubled. Yuzai couldn’t see his friends. He only saw Seika, eyes glowing an intense purple. “Get set to die!” she sibilated. “Looks like I don’t have a choice,” said her opponent. “Well then, I guess I’ve gotta beat you to get back to my world and to get out of this Limbo!”
 * “Let’s Duel!”
 * (Yuzai draws)
 * Me first! Ore no tan! (Smirks) I summon Cosmos Linker, which summons Quillbolt hegehog! Next, I’ll star them together to summon Star Rose Dragon! I set two. Tan endo.
 * (Seika Draws)
 * “Heh-heh… I summon Blade Viper(Atk/1000 Def/1000 reptile wind lv4: When this card is summoned, inflict 800 damage to your opponent, and special summon a reptile monster from your hand in def mode.)! With its special effect, you take 800 damage, and I get to summon another reptile! So I summon another Blade Viper, and with its effect I summon another viper, meaning you take 2400 damage!”
 * Each of the snakes arose, and darted toward Yuzai. They held up their tails, each razor sharp and dipped in poison, and slashed at their target with deadly accuracy. Each blade connected with Yuzai’s chest, and formed large cuts. The vipers retreated to their master. The victim fell to his knees. “Hhhhkkk.”, was all he could say. Three spikes of pain lacerated Yuzai. “OOOOOOOWWWW!!!” He exclaimed. “This isn’t supposed to hurt!” He felt something warm and metallic in the back of his throat. He spat it out. Blood. Dark, crimson, blotchy blood. “Uh, oh,” thought Yuzai. He looked at his chest. Three gashes went across his shoulder and down to his hip. He lifted his head to Seika. “What kind of sick trick is this?!” She smiled cruelly. “It’s not a trick. It’s reality. A shadow game. Now get up so I can bring more pain!” Yuzai stood up. LP: 5600
 * (Seika’s turn)
 * “Now, I activate the spell, Life Drainage! (Normal spell: pay 1000 life points. Draw one card.) This takes away a thousand of my points so I get an extra card. And by the way, I don’t experience hurt since I paid my life points voluntarily.”
 * (Draws a card)
 * “Next I set two. Make a move!”
 * (Yuzai draws)
 * “Ugh… I draw, and summon Fire Whiplash! (Atk/1000 Def/1000 fire warrior lv3: This card can attack your opponent directly. When this card is selected as an attack target, you can tribute this card to summon one Wind Whiplash (Atk/1000 Def/1000 wind warrior lv3:This card can attack your opponent directly. When this card is selected as an attack target you can tribute this card to summon one Fire Whiplash from your deck in face-up attack position and destroy one spell or trap card on the field.) from your deck and destroy one monster your opponent controls.) And it attacks directly!”
 * Seika: LP 7000
 * “Your move!”

 * Yuzai: LP800
 * Field: Star Rose Dragon in atk mode, Star Rose Magician and one back row.

 * Seika: LP2000
 * Seika’s turn.
 * “Heh… heh… heh… I attack with Venom Lord! Be gone!!”
 * “I activate my trap! Needlebug Nest! This mills the top five cards.”
 * (Mills three spells and traps, and two monsters.)
 * “But you still take 1000 damage, so you lose!”
 * (Venom launches at Yuzai)
 * “AAAAAUUUUGH!!” Venom seared his chest with a sizzling sound. Yuzai: LP 0. “But… but… I activate… Symbol of Destitute… which… increases my life by 100 life points if I “Lose”, but I take 100 damage during my next end phase.”
 * Seika scoffed. “So, you only have one shot at this? Lame. I thought you would do better than this.” Yuzai grimaced. “I… draw!!!” He mustered all of his strength to draw that card. “Yes!” He thought, and smiled. “So, you must’ve gotten a pretty good card,” Smirked Seika. “But its no use, Venom Lord can’t be targeted by spells or traps!” “Your forgettin’ something,” said Yuzai, smiling while he rose to his feet. “He’s not affected by battle! So I banish my Necro Gardna, and Effect Veiler! To summon…” He lifted a card high in the sky. “BLACK LUSTER SOLDIER, ENVOY OF THE BEGINNING!” A warrior dressed in blue and golden armor materialized in front of Yuzai, and readied a sharpened, chipped blade. This was it!! This was Sasuke’s gift to him, before he disappeared. “I attack!!!” It leapt at the Venom Lord, which hissed, and was cut in two! Seika: LP 1900 “Aahg. Well… even so… you still lose! Every monster can only attack once! The moment you end, you die!” Yuzai smiled.
 * “Are you sure?”
 * “What are you…”
 * “I activate the effect of Black Luster Soldier! He can attack once more!!”
 * The warrior readied his blade again, this time with gold lightning surrounding it.
 * “Attack!! Ultimate Luster Slash!!!”
 * The knight charged, and cut his target in two.
 * Seika: LP 0
 * “Oh, yeah!! I beat ‘er! I beat ‘er! I won, I won, I won, I won…. Aahhh, I’m bleeding all over the place…”
 * Get ready for more CC’s!!
 * Aki: Oooh, oh, oh, my poor, poor son!
 * Yusei: Good for him!
 * Leo and Luna: YUCK!
 * Kiryu: Ultimate Luster Lash… I like it!
 * Crow: CLIFF… HANGER…
 * Jack: I liked the ending, only BLS is forbidden.
 * Big Brother: You dummy! It just got taken off the list for over three months now!
 * WHATTHEHECK67: Boo yah! LOL! Ahem. So, like I said before, the chapters 1-10 aren’t very stellar. They’re currently the worst. Please comment nicely.

 * The blackness lifted. Yuzai could see Argo and his friends again. He smiled, and ran toward them. “Hey, Argo! Suzaku! Rosgol! You… you… wouldn’t believe what I… I… I… I…. Aaaah.” He collapsed face first, exhausted. “Yuzai?” Argo hurried toward him, and shook him. “Yuzai!!” While the others tended to their worn out friend, Rosgol looked at the Vipers to see if Seika was still there. Nope, gone like the wind. Coach Nunofit took out his D-Gazer, and called Yuzai’s mom. “Hello? Yes, Mrs. Fudo, this is Coach Nunofit. I just wanted you to know that your son, ahem, has just collapsed and has some serious injuries, so you might want to come now.“ Well, he’s still breathing,” said Suzaku as he checked his friend’s lungs. “So he’s still alive.” “How alive?” asked a distressed Aurora. “Ummm, barely.”
 * Yuzai awoke in a hospital bed, with his chest and arm wrapped up with medical bandages. “Uggh. What happened?” He groaned. His duel disk was on a nearby table. A nurse coming in to the room surprised him.
 * “Hello?”
 * “GAH! Wh-who’re you?” The nurse said, “ I’m a nurse. Any way, here’s some water,” she put the glass down on the table. “Dr. Fudo said you needed fluids. Do you know who she is?” Yuzai gulped down the substance.
 * “Heck, yeah! She’s my mom.”
 * “Ah. I should’ve known. Anyway, she’ll be coming up in a few seconds, okay?”
 * “Ok.” The nurse took the glass, and carried it away. Yuzai looked at his hand. The crest was gone. “Sasuke,” he said as he picked up his deck. “You gave me the key to victory.” He felt a prick on the side of his head, and touched a finger to the side of his head. There was a node on his left temple, and an ECG machine was beside him with a wire connecting it all. The wavelengths on the screen were quite lively. A few moments later, his mother came in with a clipboard. “Well, Yuzai, it seems that duel impacted your mental structure, causing it to collapse momentarily. We put that node (Your father’s invention) on your head to restore consciousness, and your doing pretty well.” She sighed, and lowered her head. Yuogora tilted his head. “Mom? Um, is something wrong?” She quickly looked up. “Huh? Oh, yes, I’m fine. Just remembering in the old days when this happened.” Yuzai could remember too, when his dad told him and his siblings about shadow games. The damage became real, and only you took the pain. “Still,” Aki pondered. “How could Seika know how to initiate a shadow game? How come her team disappeared after the duel?” Yuzai whirled his head, rolled glazed eyes, and put his hands to his ears.
 * “Aaahg!! Mom, stop yelling!” She looked at her son as if he were crazy.
 * “This is my normal speaking voice. What’s the matter?”
 * “Oprah Winfrey’s poodle is chomping on Rachel Ray’s 30 minute meals cook book!”
 * “What are you talking about?”
 * “Gah, whatever!!! The Coke machine is attacking Winnie the Pooh. Oh, woe is me!! Woe is me!”
 * Aki felt her son’s forehead. “Yep. Just as I suspected. A fever of over 120, must be the stress your body’s been keeping up with. I’ll go get you some soup.”
 * Yuzai plopped down on his pillow. “Sasuke, I don’t think I can Kattobing anymore!”
 * A few minutes later, Suzaku came in to visit. “Hey, Yuzai,” he said cheerfully. “How ‘ya feeling?” His friend looked at him like he was looking at a demented clown. “AWAY CHOWDERHEAD,” he cried.
 * “KILL ME NOT!”
 * “Gosh, did I come at the wrong time, or something?”
 * “YOU HATH NO FURY LIKE AN ANGRY SOCCER MOM!!”
 * “What the heck, Yuzai! What’s up with you?!”
 * His friend immediately changed moods.
 * “THE DAY OF RAGNAROK IS COMING!! SAVE US, SAVE US!!!!”
 * “Dude, you’ve lost it.”
 * “CARROT JUICE!”
 * “I’m leaving.”
 * Suzaku exited the room, mumbling, “He’s probably crazy after that duel.”
 * Later, Argo came in to visit as well.
 * “What happened in that black orb?”
 * “ORICHALCOS SHUNOROS!!”
 * “Huh?”
 * “A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON PARTED!”
 * “What?”
 * His voice became slurred.
 * “INEEDANANTIACIDFORMYLIZARDFOOD!!”
 * “Ok….”
 * “YOU… YOU… YOU… YOUARETHEPERSONWHOSANGINTHESHOWRLASTWEEKEND!!!”
 * Argo turned. “Your crazy.” He passed his mother while leaving the room, and said, “Hi mom. Yuzai’s delirious. He needs a reality check.” His mom came in, and sat down on her son’s bed.
 * “What the heck is that?” asked Yuzai hysterically.
 * “It’s chicken soup”
 * “I’LL GET THE BIRD FLU!! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, LADY!?”
 * “Just eat it!” She shoved a spoonful of the stuff into the teenager’s mouth.
 * “Feel any better?”
 * “Yeah. The room stopped spinning, and Oprah Winfrey just barfed.”
 * “Glad to hear it.”
 * “Mom?”
 * “Yes?”
 * “Could you turn on the TV? I think ESPer Robin is on.”
 * Aki smiled, and switched the digital device to “Active”. “He’s feeling better.” She thought as she left the sick room.

 * Leo: SO WE’RE KIIIICKING UP THE AIIIIRRR WITH CHEAPPPPP COLOGGGNNN!!!
 * WHATTHEHECK67: What do you mean, Idiots?!

 * Yuzai; Hey, what up?!!
 * Yusei: Hey, Yuzai!
 * Matt Carter: Hey, who’s he? I’ve never seen him before!!
 * Justen Bell: Looks like a combo of Yusei and Yuma.
 * Argo, Sakura, Keiko, Katsuko, Akito, Yuki, Yutske, and Akiya: SURPRISE!!!
 * WHATTHEHECK67: This is too weird. Break out the fun and cakes and root beer floats, and roll the film, Tokunosuke.
 * Tokunosuke: Okay, ura!!

 * “Ha-ha! Looks like your desperate plan to defeat me has been throttled!” Yuzai said as he moved one of his checkers to capture another piece owned by Argo. It had been three days since Yuzai’s hospitalization and shadow game. “Very good,” said Argo. “But not good enough.” he skipped a piece seven times over six others, leaving his opponent with only two pieces. “Ha! You’ve fallen into my trap!” Yuzai said. “I activate my poison gas lever tile! So you lose nine hundred life points, and the checker piece is vanquished!” Argo calculated that on his calculator. Argo: LP 3200 Yuzai: LP 3000. This was a special version of checkers. You could lay traps, play spells, and even summon monsters. “Ok, Argo! My turn! I draw! Hmmm. Ok, I’ll lay a trap on tile 9b, and summon Gene-Warped Werewolf! I’ll have it pump with another piece to initiate attack! Oh, but wait, I can’t huh, ‘cuz of that energy shield you put in the square I’m trying to invade. So I’ll, oh wait again. You’ve got that Shield Wing, so I can’t knock it out this turn, plus you have a Link between tiles so you can call for help. So… the best thing to now is to…. End.” Argo smiled. “Good choice. Okay, now I summon Blade Knight, and set a trap tile on your Gene-Warped. Your turn.” the game was like a silly version of Duel Monsters, only using checkers and the tiles. At about five hours later, Yuzai looked like he stepped in a lake of boiling lava.
 * “Y-YOU YOU LITTLE…! HOW COULD YOU BEAT ME IN A GAME OF CHECKERS!!! DUEL CHECKERS AT THAT!! I DEMAND A REMATCH!!”
 * “Ok, Checker Duel number 38, here we go!” They shuffled their decks. Argo taunted.
 * “You are going to lose!!”
 * Yuzai was indignant.
 * “I can’t lose!! ”
 * “Hmf.”
 * At this moment, Aki was dropping by to see how her son was doing. She stopped in the doorway. “Yuzai has really grown,” she thought as he summoned the Star Rose Dragon on checker tile 4j. “It seems like only yesterday he was just born.”
 * Flashback
 * Aki Fudo awoke to see her husband Yusei cooking breakfast and her two sons, Sasuke and Argo, hurrying with chores. “Gah!” Cried the oldest brother.
 * “Were gonna be late again, Argo, for ESPer Robin! Hurry! Hurry!”
 * “I’m hurrying!!”
 * ESPer Robin was a special TV show featuring Fuya Okudaira (See Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal on Wikipedia).
 * “Morning Aki.” Yusei greeted. “Yaaawn. Good morni… OW!!” She bent over, placing a hand on her stomach. “Are they kicking again?” Asked Yusei as the pancakes burned (LOL!). “Yeah. They hurt a lot.” Yusei remembered what the doc said the other day that Aki’s baby was due that present 24 hours. “AAAAHHH!!!!” Screamed Sasuke, airs running through his hair like a mad horse.
 * “AAAAHHH! Were gonna miss it!! Were gonna miss it!!”
 * “Not yet! Not yet!”
 * “BOYS!” Shouted Aki. “Calm down, your show’s only going to start in thirty minutes, so don’t fret and stop yelling.”
 * Sasuke checked his four-year old looking watch on his four-year old looking arm. “AAAH!” He screamed. “Its half an hour later than it was half an hour ago!! Run, run!” Argo ran after him as they went into their bathrooms to empty their hampers for the laundry.
 * “Well, Aki,” Said Yusei smiling.
 * “Not a drop of motherliness has left you.”
 * “Mmm.”
 * They sat down on the couch, and heard Sasuke yell, “Hey, Argo, is this old gum yours or mine?” Aki sighed. “I’ll deal with it.” Yusei objected. “No, Aki, it’s okay. I’ll do it.” He left, and said, “Okay, what gum did you say… oh, gross!! That’s not gum Argo, it’s…” Aki didn’t want to hear it. About twenty minutes later, Yusei had cleaned up the mess (With some difficulty and the Tide Stick) and returned to his wife while his kids watched ESPer Robin.
 * “You feeling okay?”
 * “Yeah. I just feel so useless, sitting down the whole day, unable to move much.” She gestured toward the stairs.
 * “Heck, I can’t even walk up those without having pains.”
 * “Don’t worry Aki. Sasuke can drive you to places!!”
 * “Yusei!”
 * “Joking!”
 * Sasuke turned.
 * “I wanna drive!”
 * “Never mind, dear.”
 * Twelve hours later….
 * “Ummm… Yusei…. What are your kids reading?” Asked Jack as he peered over Sasuke’s shoulder.
 * “Sasuke’s reading A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Argo: Macbeth.”
 * “Aren’t they a bit young for that kind of material?”
 * “Nah, they can understand it.”
 * Luna giggled. “It’s so funny seeing little kids reading adult literature!” Yusei smiled, and accidently slipped on the shiny wet floor of the hospital. “Whoops.” He quickly regained balance. Kiryu sighed, and crossed his arms. “So, remind me, why are we here?”
 * Crow looked bored and uninterested. He picked his hangnail. “Because were waiting for Aki’s baby. Or should I say, babies.”
 * “What do you mean, ‘babies’?”
 * “I mean, did you not pay attention? The doc told Aki last minute that she was gonna have twins.”
 * “I didn’t catch that.”
 * A phone buzzed, and Jack perked up. “Hey, Yusei, was that yours?”
 * His friend checked his cellular device, and put it away.
 * “Well?”
 * “Just two baby praise e-cards from Rally and Blister.”
 * Yusei’s radio crackled. “Mr. Fudo, your kid’s been born!” All hurried up the grey staircase. When they got there, Leo and Luna peppered questions at Aki.
 * “How’s the baby?”
 * “Is anything wrong?”
 * “Is it a boy?”
 * “Is it a girl?”
 * “Is it neither?” That one caught their friend off guard. “What? No!! It’s a girl.” She showed everyone the baby.
 * “She’s so cuuuute!” Said Luna.
 * “No crying at all?”
 * “Nope. Silent as an angel.”
 * Leo looked up thoughtfully.
 * “So, if this one’s a girl… that means the other one is a girl too, right?”
 * His sister glared at him.
 * “Yes! I think.”
 * After around a minute or two, a nurse checked her watch.
 * “Umm, Mrs. Fudo?”
 * “Yes?”
 * “You may not want to be all over that kid, because its twin might be coming any minute now!”
 * All eyes turned on Aki.
 * After ten minuets of stultifying waiting, the same LPN said, “My, my, this one’s taking its time.”
 * Yusei widened his eyes.
 * “I’ll say.”
 * After ten more minutes, the second baby finally came. “Wow, look!”
 * Said Luna excitedly.
 * Kiryu frowned. “Her hair looks like yours Yuse. Actually, nearly all of her features look like you, but where the heck did she get those green eyes?”
 * Luna ignored him. “Here’s your second baby girl, Yusei!! You got your wish on two girls, and she looks just so cute! And can’t you believe how she…”
 * Jack took initiative “How she screams? Yeah, I can’t believe it.”
 * Yusei objected. “Um, actually… I think it’s a boy.”
 * Aki agreed. “Yeah, I think so too.”
 * Luna looked embarrassed, and slowly backed away. “Ha-ha, sorry Fudo kid. We thought you were a female!”
 * Aki looked up. “Hey, Yusei, what shall we name them?”
 * “How about Sakura and Yuzai? Like a flower and a another ‘Yu-‘?”
 * “Those are great names.”

Soon, after twenty minutes of slow consumption, he broke into a wild stream of food coming from the plates to his mouth like a berserk water buffalo. “Holy freelolies!!” Exclaimed Argo as he covered his eyes from the pieces of tempura flying after him. “Where did you learn to eat like that?” there was no answer, just slurping, chomping, and bits of food flying all over the place. Yuzai threw ten shrimps into his jaws, and quickly scooped rice in the mouth. “I harven’t eatchen en choo daysh!!” He managed. His brother made a face and pulled something out of his pocket. “Here,” he said, handing his brother a cellular device.
 * Mirai Iro zutto Bokura wa egaiteku
 * “I found this phone in the junk yard. I replaced the touch screen, battery, and Internet server, but it’ll do.”
 * “Thanksh.” He took it, and put next to his deck. Argo nodded. “Say, Aurora’s birthday is coming up. Did ‘ya do anything special for her?” Yuzai coughed, and spewed water from his nose. “Gah! I completely forgot about that!! Her birthday is in two days!” His sibling looked annoyed. “Look at the calender next time. Anyway you better start making a card or something.” he got up, and retrieved a slip of paper. “Thanks.” said Yuzai, giving his brother the tray back.
 * “So…. What to write. Whaaaat to write. Whaaaaaaaaat to write.” Yuzai thought about that for a long time, twisting and turning in the hospital bed, until he figured out what to say. He folded the paper in half, and drew on the top a Duel Monsters card. Then, he wrote on the bottom, “OPEN,” and transcribed in the card, “AURORA: I HATE YOU. DROP DEAD.” Yuzai smiled. That was how he and his friends said complementary things to each other. He inserted twenty yen in it, and used the TV remote beside him to switch on the game console. “Plants VS. Zombies” was in the disk slot, but Yuzai didn’t care. The console smoked. The TV was struggling to keep up with the mass amount of zombies attacking with machine guns. Yuzai killed ten. “Booh ya!!!” He cried. “Looks like I beat my previous record of 2,609! Yahoo! Yahoo!! Ya…” his celebrating quickly subsided when he saw one hundred more undead soldiers engulf and shoot paroxysms of poison gas at his avatar. After about an hour or two, the television broke down. “That was…” stammered Yuzai. “That was…” he stared at the hunk of smoking junk. “That was… THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!! LET’S GET ANOTHER TV AND BURN IT UP!!!”
 * That evening, Yuzai had just gotten notice that he was in full condition, and could go home. “All right!!” He celebrated. “No more IV! No more smelly curtains! No more floppy banana Jell-O!!” He was the first one to enter the house. “Watch your step.” Yusei warned. “I might’ve left some science experiments on the ground there.” too late. His son had already knocked over a test tube full of a sickly green fluid on the hardwood floor. There was a sizzling sound, and a big hole eroded the ground, dissolving a large spider. Yuzai’s mother sighed. “I’ll clean that up. But how do I do that when that substance burns through everything it touches? Yusei?” the shook his head. “I’ve been working on a type of polyester that could soak up this stuff. I’ll go get it from the basement.” he jogged downstairs to the cellar, while Yuzai bent down on his hands and knees at the green fluid.
 * “I wonder what it smells like!”
 * Sakura took a step toward her brother.
 * “Hey, don’t do it!”
 * “Come on! It looks harmless enough!”
 * “I said don’t touch it!”
 * “Come on, Sakura! Why do you say that?!”
 * “Because I’m older than you!”
 * “By how how many years?”
 * “By twenty minutes!”
 * “That doesn’t count!”
 * Their mother stepped in.
 * “Yuzai, that green water is super acidic. It might burn your nose right off!”
 * Her son had already sniffed it. He quickly clutched his nose, and jumped clear off his feet, and did a backflip off the porch. “YEEEEEOOOWWWWWWCHHHHH!!!!!!!!!” He screamed as he rolled on the concrete in pain. “YEEOW, YEEEOW!!” An annoyed, groggy, feminine voice came from upstairs. “Hey. Keep it down. Some of us are sleeping!” Keiko and Katsuko strolled downstairs, rubbing their eyes. “Hey, watch out.” Their 17-year older brother warned them. Katsuko looked down, seeing the green fluid, she quickly hid behind her sister in a flash, her fins of black and yellow hair trailblazing behind her. “Aaaaah!! D-d-d-d-dad’s messed up miracle substance!”
 * “Mezzed ub mirable substanx?” asked Yuzai, rubbing his nose as he came back inside. “I’ll day!! Id burned by node like a zuber gonzendrayded adid! Burned id I day! Burned id I day!” Keiko sniffed, fixing the position of her glasses. “Yeah, dad messed up and put 20 cups of baking soda instead of 9, so it’s a lot more acrid.” Yuzai took his school uniform, and sneezed into it. “Danks bore delling be.” Katsuko snickered. “Stupid… So stupid…” Yusei came back up with a blue fiberous towel. “Got it.” he said as he cleaned up the hole in the floor. “So… Keiko… Katsuko… did you say hi to your brother who returned from the hospital?” both of the girls looked at eachother and said in unison, “Say what?” their father got up, and washed his hands.
 * “He’s been in the hospital!! Didn’t we tell you?”
 * “Umm…”
 * “Well?”
 * “We were sleeping.”
 * All of the Fudo kids went upstairs to be greeted by Akito, and Yuki with a whoop that blasted everyone clear off their feet except for Yuzai. He was in too deep a coma of repletion from his early giant meal to be shocked. Argo told everyone about the duel, and Seika, and everything else. “Hmmm. Sounds like those stories mom and dad told us back in their, ‘Younger Years’.” said Keiko, polishing her glasses. Yuzai nodded, and yawned. “I’m in a good mood for a nap. Who wants to join me?” everyone agreed with him. It had been a long week wchich made no sense at all.
 * CC CC CC!
 * Lazar: What was the point of this chapter?
 * WHATTHEHECK67: It was a window into Yusei’s kid’s personality.
 * Lazar: Wait, Yusei gets married?!
 * WHATTHEHECK67: DUH!! Who wouldn’t have thought it?
 * Yusei: Gosh, Lazar, that’s a good way to pay us back even though we saved your butt and company twice from complete devestation!d
 * Lazar: Whom are you married to? Carly? Stephanie? Mina? Sherry?

 * “Why am I always so LATE???!!!!!” Screamed Yuzai as he gathered his schoolbooks and deck. “Life was SO easy at the hospital.” he dashed outside, only to slip and fall on the hard concrete and sludgy mud. It was raining cats and dogs. Yuzai’s mother yelled a warning. “Oh, and by the way, it’s raining pretty heavily out there, you might want to use an umbrella.” her son groaned as he got up. “Thanks, I figured that out myself.” he went back in, and retrevied an umbrella, and stepped down from his house porch. For once, I’m early for the bus. The black and red haired teen thought. He walked toward the sidewalk, and saw Aurora running toward him. When she got there, she asked Yuzai,
 * “Can you share that umbrella with me? I had no time to get anything to protect me from the rain.”
 * “Sure.”
 * “Thanks.”
 * They stood there, in the rain, waiting for the bus. Lightning boomed from overhead. Yuzai made a face. An uh-oh-here-comes-thunder-I’m-gonna-get-electrecuted-‘cuz-I’m-holding-a-darn-metal-umbrella face. Aurora sparked a conversation.
 * “I really liked that birthday letter you made me.”
 * “Your welcome.” Yuogora squeezed water out of his school uniform sleeve.
 * “The extra insults at the bottom really lightened my day.”
 * “My pleasure.”
 * Silence. Both laughed, and at the exact moment, a streak of lightning hit the umbrella, shocking it’s holder with a KRAKABOOOOMMMMM!!!!! Yuzai fell flat on his face, and the umbrella clattered to the ground, burnt, and smelly, like a hot dog. The bus arrived, and Aurora tried to carry her frazzled friend through the doors with some difficulty. The driver hollered, “Hey, you, hurry up and get your boyfriend into this @#¥%#& bus before I have to leave at 100 miles an hour, ditching you two!!” That woke up Aurora’s “boyfriend” with an electric effect. “H-hey!” He said, rising up with spiky hair. He smelled like burnt hot dogs. “Sh-she’s not my girlfriend!!” The driver rolled his eyes. “Whatever. Just get in, and don’t kiss all over the place, ok?” Yuzai frowned at the muscled man as he and Aurora got in the bus.
 * “But she’s not my girlfriend.”
 * “!@#%#¢™!!!! JUST GET IN!!!”
 * “Sorry, sorry!”
 * When they finally ventured inside the car, nearly all of the seats were taken, so they had to sit with Suzaku even though it was a two people seat. Suzaku could hardly breath the seat was so narrow. “C-c-cant… breath…you…. two… lucky… your… so… skinny… ack!” Yuzai looked out the window. “Were almost there, so hang on.”
 * “FUDO!!!” Screamed Prof. Heitman as he slammed Yuzai’s head into his desk. “FUDO, I HATE THIS ROUTINE OF WAKING YOU UP! SO, WAKE UP!!!!! OR I’LL HAVE TO GIVE YOU A FIVE-THOUSAND WORD ESSAY ON A TRULY EMBARRASSING TOPIC!” His student snoozed some more. “Zooozz… zoooozzz… that’s my signature line… zooozzz…” Heitman immediately took a bucket of water, and sloshed it on Yuzai, who awoke.
 * “Zooozzz… AAAAAH! WHAT THE HECK, PROF!”
 * “LISTEN!”
 * “To what?”
 * “TO THIS TRULY EMBARRASSING TOPIC OF A FIVE THOUSAND WORD ESSAY.”
 * “Er… ok.” Heitman’s essay topics were usually about something really awkward… such as saliva, teeth, feet, or fingernails.
 * “THE TOPIC,” said the French professor, revving up for his speech. “IS… HOW YOUR PARENTS MET, AND OTHER PERSONAL THINGS!” Yuzai picked his ear.
 * “Uh, I have no idea how they met.”
 * “WELL THEN, ASK THEM!” Shouted Heitman at the top of his lungs. “ASK, YOU NITWIT!”
 * “Well, that’s unchill.” said the black and red haired teenager, yawning. He quickly fell asleep again.
 * At the school, Yuzai flunked his math test, got in trouble for sleeping through two classes, and was attacked by thirty squirrels when he coaxed them to eat a special toffee made of solidified caffeine. All were dares. At the cafeteria, Aurora giggled and tried to surpress her laughter. He was a mess. His school uniform had teeth marks on it, twigs and branches stuck out nearly every corner of his body, and his hair had a few acorns in it. “What happened?” asked Suzaku, whohad just sat down.
 * “Oh, nothing.”
 * “It’s always something.”
 * “Sigh.”
 * “ALWAYS.”
 * “Ok, this was how it happened…” he explained it all to them, and ended up the laughing stock of the whole table. Suzaku laughed so hard he fell of his bench with a bang. “HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” Yuzai tried not to pay attention. “Blagga blagga blah, blah, who cares?” he said, plugging his ears. Aurora just smiled a wide grin. When the bell rang, Yuzai attempted to leave the school, when Roji and his gang intercepted him. “Hey, look who’s here!” He said, sneering. “Here’s the guy who made that throng of squirrels chase him, and flunked several tests, isn’t that right, Yuzai?” his cronies laughed. Their victim cringed and was backed into a corner. “Look, you overgrown, berserk, muddy, bald headed freak, go pick on some one your own size!!” Roji was taken aback, but quickly retaliated. “Listed, Junior, I AM your own size.”
 * Yuzai took a step further, feeling a bit braver.
 * “Junior?! Where did that name come from, Jimmy?!”
 * “Jimmy’s not my name, Johnny!” Tension was rising.
 * “Johnny?!! Why, I’ll show you…!” He charged at Roji, but was quickly shoved back. All of Yuzai’s prowness had left him. He tried to run, but ran into a brick wall. “Look, Johnny, if you don’t stop, you’d better talk to my fist!!!” The bully raised his closed hand it to eye level. Yuzai wailed. “SOMEBODY, PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!” He tried to run, but hit the same wall. “You stupid runt!! Get ready for a beating!!!” Roji lunged, and punched. “I have no choice!” Thought Yuzai. “I saw this on TV once, an I bet it’ll work!! I just have to… TRY!!!” He punched back at his opponent, who was hit square in the face. Yuzai grinned. “Ha-ha!! Did you really think you could get away with that?!! Ha-hahahahahahaah!!! Well, ulp, gotta run!” He tried to get away again, but hit the same wall. Each of Roji’s goons grabbed him by the arm, and their master got back up, fist raised. “I’m gonna pump the brains out of ya!!!” He yelled, as his fist descended like a meteor. It hit the target with a wump. “Gah!!” Yuzai felt the punch in his stomach like a five-ton weight ramming in him. Roji put his hands on his hips and smiled. “I don’t think that was enough!” He hit Yuzai another time, then three more times after that. Roji was about to punch one more time, when Rosgol hit him over the head with his disk, which was shaped like an axe head. “Owww!!” Shouted The bully, touching his forehead. “Y-y-you want to duel or something?” he primed his own disk. Rosgol grinned, and said, “Yeah, sure, why not?!!” Roji got back up fro his feet. “Ok, then, Let’s…” Yuzai’s friend held up a hand, and objected.
 * “Hold on!”
 * “What?!”
 * “Lets make this interesting!”
 * “How?”
 * “Like an ante duel! If I win, you have to let Yuzai go, and if you win, you get to do what you please!!”
 * “You’ve got yourself a deal and a duel, Rossy (note this, Ross)!!”
 * “Let’s Duel!!”
 * Rosgol started off with summoning Gladiator Beast Laquari and two face downs. Roji drew, and summoned Morphtronic Celfon and rolled a die for it’s effect. He rolled a 4, and summoned Morphtronic Radion in attack mode. He played a face down card, and ended. Rosgol drew, and summoned Gladiator Beast Secutor. He then equipped it with Gladiator Beast’s Battle Manica, and attacked with Secutor with to Raidon. Roji activated the trap, Morphshield Program (Trap: When a face-up Morphtronic monster is declared as an attack target, negate the attack, and negate the next attack by your opponent.) To negate the attack. Rosgol attacked with Laquari, even though its attack was negated. At the end of the battle phase, Laquari tagged out for Gladiator Beast Bestiari (Its effect didn’t work) And tagged Secutor for Gladiator Beast Hoplomus and Gladiator Beast Dimacari. During the main phase 2, Rosgol Contact Fused and summoned Gladiator Beast Vesuvious (Atk/3000 Def/2800 Lv10 Dragon Fire Fusion: 3 Gladiator Beast monsters: Can only be Contact Fused and cannot be summoned any other ways. This card can tag out during the end of the battle phase for three Gladiator Beast monsters. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the graveyard, you can apply one of these effects:
 * •Place one GB counter on this card.
 * •Banish a Gladiator Beast card in your graveyard. All face-up Gladiator Beast monsters you control gain 1000 attack, until the end phase.
 * Once, during either player’s turn, you can remove one GB counter off of this card to negate the activation of a spell, trap, or effect monster’s effect and destroy it. If you have tagged this card out this turn, you cannot Contact Fuse that turn.) In attack position. He set one and passed. Roji drew, and activated the effect of Celfon again and rolled a 3. He summoned Morphtronic Boarden in defense mode, and played Morphtronic Boomboxen in attack mode. He played a face-down and ended. Rosgol drew, and activated his trap, Battle Cage. (Trap: Activate only while you control a face-up Gladiator Beast monster. You cannot summon monsters this turn. All face-up Gladiator Beast monsters you control can attack twice during the battle phase.) Vesuvious attacked Celfon, dealing 2900 damage, and attacked again to the Boarden where Roji activated the trap Negate Attack. Vesuvious gained a counter, and Rosgol ended. Roji drew, activated Celfon’s effect again, and tried to summon Morphtronic Cameran in defense mode, but Rosgol activated the effect of Vesuvious to negate the effect of Celfon and destroying it. In a rage, Roji switched his Boarden to attack mode, and attacked directly with all of his monsters!! This caused Rosgol’s life points to drop down to 1900. He ended, and Rosgol drew. He grinned, and summoned Gladiator Beast Aquaboss (Atk/1900 Def/1200 Water Fish Lv 4: This card can tag out. When this carad normal summoned, you can normal summon or set an extra “Test” monster from your hand. When a face-up Gladiator Beast monster inflicts battle damage to your opponent, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.) He then summoned Test Tiger and tributed it to summon Gladiatpr Beast Dimacari. Dimacari attacked twice, destroying Celfon and Boarden, inflicting 1000 damage plus 2000 more from Aquaboss dropping Roji to 2100. Rosgol attacked with his Vesuvious for game.
 * Roji’s disk steamed, and caught on fire. “Aaaugh!!!” He cried. He took off his disk, and crushed it beneath his heel. “Worthless deck,” he muttered. “Worthless, worthless, worthless! And I thought it was a professional deck, not some sort of kitchen appliance pile of cards!!” Rosgol twitched his finger as if taunting him. “Come on! Come on! Give me back Yuzai now. We had a deal, remember?” Roji’s minions threw Yuzai back, and turned to leave ony to be confronted by a tall, green haired man. “Hey!” He said bending down. “Aren’t you the one’s who swiped my deck?! Huh?! Huh?!” There was a tussle, punching, and grasping when the green haired dude came out searching his cards. “Good,” he said. “They didn’t hurt my Life Stream.” Yuzai and Rosgol stood up and looked at the “stranger”. Yuzai pointed a finger. “Hey, aren’t you Leo Whatzhizname my parents have been talking about? In their, ‘Younger Years’?” the man winked. “That’s me! And you are…?” He studied him like he was some sort of science specimen. “Hm. You look like a combo of Yusei Fudo and Aki Izayoi. With a touch of Yuma Tsukumo.” his eyebrows furrowed. “Hey are you…!” At that moment, Rosgol looked at his watch and jumped. “Aaah! Sorry Yuzai, I gotta go! Geometry class in twelve minutes!” He ran off. Leo snapped his fingers. “I know!” He concluded. “Your Yusei’s little brother!” Yuzai was clearly annoyed, and crossed his arms. “Heck no! I’m his son, you green haired twit!” Leo looked like he found buried treasure. “Aaah. I remember! You’re the son who we thought was a daughter, right?!” The black and red haired teen stuck out his tongue. “No, I’m Pinocchio. Of course I’m the son who you thought was a daughter!” He started jumping up and down, shaking his fist in fury. Leo held up his hands. “Ok, ok! Sorry! Sorry!” He looked overhead. “Hey, I’ll tell you what. Wanna ride on my duel runner back to your place? I really want to see your parents again. It’s been so long.” Yuzai accepted the ride and they took off. On the way to Dynamo Street, Leo’s passenger flew off his seat, and landed in a planter.

There’s extra Sheppard’s Pie on the stove if you’re still hungry, and we’ll be back in an hour or two. Ok?” Akiya squirmed to get pass her eight older siblings. She finally got to her father, and said, “Ok, daddy!” Yusei smiled, and got up from bending down from his knees to say to the other kids, “HEY! WAGATA?”
 * Mirai Iro zutto Bokura wa egaiteku
 * When Leo and Yuzai got back to Dynamo Street safe and sound, the green haired person rapped on the door. “Hello? Open up!” The entrance creaked open a crack, and revealed a three foot tall little boy looking up suspiciously at the knocker. “Who’re you?” he asked. Leo cleared his throat and shouted into the door. “Ahem, Hey, Yusei! Aki! You in there? Guess who!” The boy, Yutske, widened his already big eyes. He tackled Leo in the stomach, and yelled at the top of his lungs, “GUYS! GUYS! I FOUND A DRUNKARD! I FOUND A DRUNKARD!! LET’S GET ‘IM!!” All of his brothers and sisters came streaming out of the door, and hit and tackled Leo with all of their might. Yuki, over the ruckus of yelling and hitting, screamed, “I always wanted to beat up a drunkard!!” Yusei came out of the door, and immediately started picking his kids off of his old friend. “Guys, don’t tackle Leo!” He shouted over the rapping of fists. Yusei successfully took off all of his offspring from the green haired fellow. “He’s a buddy from your mother and I’s, ‘Younger Years’!” He quickly helped Leo up and offered him his hand. “Sorry about that,” he said apologetically. “They were watching a cop show the other day, and wanted to catch a drunkard as soon as possible. Hey, you’ve grown taller.” Leo stood up to full height, and matched Yusei. “Yup. What did you expect? It’s been over 19 years!” The twosome went inside. Akito noticed Yuzai’s tattered uniform. “Hey, what happened to you?” his brother sighed. “Don’t tell mom, okay?”
 * “Leo? Is that you?” asked Aki as the green haired man entered the kitchen. He turned to his female friend, and smiled. “Yep! It’s me!” She ran up to him, and studied him. “You don’t LOOK like Leo,” she said, frowning. Her friend rolled his eyes. “That’s what Jack and Crow said when I vistited them.”
 * Aki chopped up some onions. “By the way, Leo, you were too late. Kiryu left his kids here, and he and Misty left.”
 * “That’s ok, I don’t fair too well with them.”
 * The green haired bloke perked up all of a sudden when Yusei knocked a can of beer.
 * “Hey! I’m 27 now! That means I can drink beer now, right?!” Yusei snickered.
 * “Yeah. You want one?”
 * “Sure!” (Author’s note: This is for your interest Leo, not mine!)
 * They sat down on the couch, and talked about what was happening with each other.
 * “So, where’s Luna?”
 * “Oh, she’s working at a card shop.”
 * “She got a job, huh?”
 * They sat down on the couch, and talked about what was happening with each other.
 * “So, where’s Luna?”
 * “Oh, she’s working at a card shop.”
 * “She got a job, huh?”
 * “Well, I’m a lot of things. I’m an ex-CEO, a scientist, a dad, and an inventor.”
 * “That’s a lot of things.”
 * “Mmm.”
 * “What about Aki?”
 * “Oh, she’s a doctor, and a mother, like she always wanted to be.”
 * “Aah. I see. And your kids?”
 * “Their fine, Yuzai is just kind of struggling in high school right now.”
 * Upstairs, a yell flooded the house. “AAAAUGHHH!” Yusei immediately looked up, and went up. He opened the door to reveal his second oldest son jumping up and down, pointing at a teenaged girl with slightly spiky black hair. Seeing his father, Yuzai ran up to him and asked him, “H-h-have you EVER experienced the annoyance of an Archlord Kristya?” Yusei shook his head. “No. Why?”
 * “BECAUSE ITS SO… SO… ANNOYING!!!!” With that, the black and red haired teenager climbed his bunk bed, and plopped down his head in his pillow and mumbled, “Mmmf. Phoopid Urflerd Kwiphta.” Yusei sighed, and went back downstairs. The girl climbed Yuzai’s bed, and joked, “Did you get enough?” The seemingly sleeping teen “woke up”, and screamed, “HECK, YEAH!! YOU ACTUALLY THINK I’ll WANT MORE, KRISTYA KYOSUKE?! AAAAUUUUUGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!” The girl smiled, got down, and shuffled her deck. “Hey, Argo,” she said, beckoning him over.
 * “You wanna duel me?”
 * “Sure.” Before setting up his game mat, he visited Yuzai and patted his back. “C’mon,” he said. “Don’t feel bad. She’s 17, like me.” Argo jumped down, and shuffled. Suzaku, who was there as well, was playing World of Chaos, a strategy game, with the rest of the Fudo kids on two different computers. He howled, “GAH! I spawned too many orcs and Mirai! And now I lost because of that! AAGH!” Akito laughed. “That’s what you get for challenging eigth Fudo kids at once!” Suzaku scoffed. “You only won ‘cuz I messed up. AAAAUUGGHHH!” He too, had a mental breakdown, and plopped next to Yuzai, and whispered, “Hey, I figured out a really embarrassing pun for your brother and my sis, but I need you to work with me. Deal?” His friend turned, causing Suzaku to fall on the ground with a plunk. “Deal.”
 * “DINNER!!!!!!!!” yelled Yuzai, running from the upstairs to the table. “DINNERRRRR!!!!” His father quickly put him to a halt. “Hold on,” he said, smiling. “Don’t go eating away yet.” All got their own plates, and piled them high with Sheperd’s Pie. In exactly twenty minutes after serving, Yuzai asked a single question.
 * “Mom, dad, I have an essay I have to do, and I need your help.” His mother skewered a piece of carrot.
 * “Sure, what’s the topic?”
 * “Well, I’m supposed to ask you and dad some… uh… personal questions, and how you met.” There was utter silence for five minutes. Aki stopped in mid-chew, and Yusei stared at her. Yutske and Akiya giggled, and Suzaku squeaked. “Awkward silence.” Leo, drinking Kirin Lite beer, chuckled. “’Tell ‘em, Yuse.” The black and yellow haired man frowned.
 * “Um… Where do I start?”
 * “Um… Where do I start?”
 * “She won’t be too happy…”
 * Aki’s head jolted upward.
 * “Hey! Even twenty years ago, I wasn’t a psychopath!”
 * Yusei swerved away from the former subject.
 * “What?”
 * “How about your first date together?”
 * “The skating rink. Luna and I are eye-witnesses.”
 * “C’mon, Yusei! Are you embarrassed?”
 * “Then tell them!”
 * “Well…”
 * Yuzai was puzzled. “C’mon dad. Tell us.” All eyes were on Yusei now. He turned to Aki.
 * “Do you want to explain?”
 * She was obviously amused.
 * “No, honey, you do it.”
 * “Well… ok…”
 * “C’mon, daddy!” cheered Akiya, brandishing her fork this way and that. “Tell us! Tell us!”
 * “Ok, so, your mother and I met at the Daimon Area in the year 2050. I think.”
 * “There,” Yusei looked relieved. “Now I’m done.” Yuzai scratched it down on a clipboard. “Oook. So. Next question. Where did you and mom have your first date?” Yusei looked questioningly at the black and burgundy haird teenager. “Is this really necessary?” His son nodded vigorously.
 * “Yes!”
 * “Well, alright. But your mother is going to have to answer this one.” Aki cleared her throat.
 * “Well, we had our first date at a skating rink when we were about 17 or 18.” Leo laughed out loud. “Ha-ha! She explains better than you, Yuse!” Yuzai also jotted that down. “Thanks. Ok, next… Oh, good grief. Is this even legal? Ok, where did you and dad have your first romance moment?” Aki frowned.
 * “Um… at Poppo Time before I went to go study at Germany…”
 * “Thank you… and now…” the black and red haired teenager yelped. “Where… um… uh… where… uh… did you and dad… uh… eheh… er… first kiss?” Yusei sighed. “This is one horrid essay.” Aki turned to her husband. “You answer this one.” She said. Leo, rolling in laughter on the ground, shouted. “HA-HA! THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD, YUSEI! THIS IS GONNA BE GOOOOOD!” The black and yellow haired man smiled, and replied, “Domino Port.” Yuzai looked at his checklist, and groaned.
 * “This is one retarted assignment. So, where did you and mom get married?” Both Yusei and Aki answered, “Synchronized Square”. Their son looked amused at the answer. “LOL.”
 * “Hai.”
 * “Good. We’ll be off.” The door clicked, and there was silence for almost a minute. Suzaku whispered in Yuzai’s ear, “After snack, commence pun. Pass it on.” The Fudo kid whispered in Sakura’s ear, who whispered into Keiko’s ear, who whispered in Katsuko’s ear, who whispered in Akito’s ear, who whispered in Yuki’s ear, who whispered in Yutske’s ear, who whispered in Akiya’s ear. All giggled. Argo led everyone downstairs. They all ate, and, since Yusei and Aki weren’t there, Yuzai plugged his iPod into the speaker, and played, “Dynamite.” He started to bound up and down in his chair, and asked his older brother, “Hey, Argo, do the Duel Dance!” The answer was, “NO. PLAIN NO.” Yuzai stuck out his tongue. “And you’re just plain MEAN.” The Duel Dance was a ridiculous waltz where you would keep up a swinging motion with you arm as if you were drawing a card from your duel disk and making your legs do impossible feats. So far, only Argo could do it, but that was when he was five years old. Yuzai could still remember when he was only three, and watched his big brother dance in front of one-year old Katsuko, who all she wanted to do was to untie her biggest brother’s shoe laces. Yuzai’s daydreaming was soon interrupted by Argo, who said, “Dude, and turn off that speaker already! It’s getting on my nerves.”
 * “Well, alright!” The black and red haired teen unplugged his pod, and put earbuds in, and listened to it that way. “Precious Time, Glory Days was playing, and was surprisingly catchy. It was so catchy; Yuzai couldn’t help but start nodding to the beat. Then he started tapping his foot. He then began mouth the Japanese words. It started to get to the end, and Suzaku whispered in his ear, “Dude, do it!” Yuzai then stood on his chair, and yelled several off-key notes while dancing a miniature jig. All covered their ears, and Yuzai grinned. It was time to commence the first part of the pun! He quickly bent down, scooped up a spoonful of pie, and threw it, aimed at Argo. He hit, however, Kristya, who was sitting right next to his big brother, in the forehead. Splat. Suzaku slapped his face. “This is never gonna work, not with him.” He thought, shaking his head. Argo frowned at Yuzai, and grabbed his school uniform collar. He restrained his little sibling, and put his hands on his shoulders and stared like a vulture. “Ozukitete… keep…holding…on?” Yuzai shakily said as if it were a question. Argo scowled. “Listen… little boy… stop…now… or else!”
 * “Or else… what?”
 * “Or else… GET A LOAD OF THIS, SPIKY HAIR KID!!” The seventeen-year old punched his brother in the face, sending him flying toward the giant luv sack. WHUMP! Yuzai landed face first. Argo dusted his hands off, and tended to Kristya, who was trying to get a piece of potato out of her ear. Suzaku went up to Yuzai, and helped him up. “Listen,” he scolded. “This plan won’t work if you keep acting like a complete idiot!” The other teenager looked crestfallen. “Sorry.” Suzaku smiled, and scratched his own silvery hair. “That’s ok. Besides, I just bought something off of eBay! It’s called, ‘The ‘Ol Bag ‘O Tricks,’ so we can get back at him with it! But it’s your job ot make it look like hidden snacks when we get upstairs, ok?”
 * “Ok.”
 * “Ok, so lets get this show on the road, and lets go!”

 * Aki: I would not let my kids watch cop shows!
 * Luna: You didn’t mention me!

 * Mirai Iro zutto Bokura wa egaiteku
 * Later that evening, Yuzai snickered, and went up to his older brother. “Heyyy. Argo. You wanna come upstairs and play a couple games? Kristya can come too.” He turned to his twin sister and younger siblings. “You can come too, RIGHT?” All looked at each other, and annunciated, “YES, WE WANT TO.” Argo agreed. “Ok. But no spewing food all over the place.” Yuzai smiled, and said, ok, we’ll bring some snacks then, too. Let’s go!” They all went upstairs, and set up a crude, 8x11, smelly tent using old blankets and the bunk beds. All went inside, and sat down. There was silence for at least a minute. “Hey,” said Kristya, tugging at Argo’s shoelace. “What are we gonna do?” All pondered, and Yuzai came in to the tent with a arm full of junk. “I know!” He said, plopping the smelly pile on the floor. “We could make something out of this heap I got from Scamm. Its an old party favor when we were five, but who cares?” They didn’t have anything else better to do, so they all got to work, tinkering with the junk. Yuzai took a mini welder, and molded a long piece of glass to a mechanism that had a hatch open. “You know what this is gonna be?” He said, holding up a contraption that looked like a cross between a D-Gazer and a welding helmet. Pressing a button, the glass glowed a blood red, and made a whirring sound. All of the younger Fudo kids and Kristya guessed.
 * “A helmet?”
 * “A D-Gazer?”
 * “A can opener?”
 * “A mini TV set?”
 * “A weapon?”
 * “A ravioli mixer?”
 * “Something that generates Plato?”
 * Yuzai attached the gadget to his ear. “No! It’s a D-VIZOR, see?” He pressed another button on the headset, and a long sheet of glass covered his eyes. A male staticy voice mimed, “DUEL INTERFACE: SET.” Argo snapped his fingers. “How very clever! Are there any more voice monitrons, holo-glasses, duel materializers, D-Circuits, or hexo-chips in this piece of junk?” He motioned at the heap of scrap. Yuzai scratched his head and furrowed his eyebrows as if he had a headache. “Ummm… what are those?” His older brother sighed, and riffled through the rubbish.
 * “You, apparently, didn’t inherit dad’s love for mechanics.”
 * “Hey, I do my best!”
 * “Yeah, and last time you did your best was when you made that ‘Super Litterbot’ that was supposed to clean up aunt Stephanie’s coffee shop, and after it “cleaned”, it spat everything out again, and got mom in the face!” Kristya was lost in the conversation. She whispered in Yutske’s ear as her boyfriend and his brother came to blows. “Umm… Yuzai made a Litterbot that got your mom in the face?” Yutske giggled, and leaned further to whisper in Kristya’s ear. “Yeah, actually, the robot spat at mommy all over! She was so mad, she just beat up the bot with her Black Rose Dragon, and psychic powers!” He thought about that for a moment, and watched Yuzai get on top of his big brother, and attempt to bite him. Yutske leaned back over to Kristya, and said, “Don’t tell mommy that, ok?” There was a yell, and Yuzai had used his psychokinesis to very forcefully pull Argo’s nose, who retaliated by mentally kicking his opponent in the stomach. When Yuzai staggered back, the 17 year old jumped at him, and tied him up into a small human ball. “Had enough?” He asked, rolling his brother from side to side. The black and red haired teenager spat out carpet lint. “Plah! Plah! Of course I had enough, you overgrown, red haired twit! And get me out of this insane knot, so help me muffins, this instant!!” Argo shook him from a leg at least four feet off the ground. “Nope. You didn’t have enough.” After about 15 minutes of shaking, Argo let his little brother go, and untied him. “So,” said Suzaku, rubbing his hands together, winking at Yuzai. “Time for snacks.” His friend agreed. “Yeah, yeah! Snacks… all… around?” He searched around some blankets, and clutched his hair. “I forgot the snacks!” Suzaku’s jaw dropped, and Argo started to scold his littler brother.
 * “Wh-wh-whad’ya mean, you didn’t bring the snacks?!!”
 * “I meant, I didn’t bring the SNACKS!!”
 * “You mean, YOU DIDN’T BIRING THE SNACKS?!!!”
 * “NO, I DIDN’T BRING THE SNACKS!!” Argo started to advance.
 * “You. Didn’t. Bring. THE SNACKS?!!!!!!!!”
 * Yuzai cringed.
 * “N-n-no! I forgot them, but hey, we never bring food during camping trips, remember buddy?”
 * Argo raised a closed hand.
 * “No, I don’t remember that, BUDDY, so why don’t you try asking that to my FIST?”
 * Kristya raised a hand.
 * “Wait, Argo, what’s in that bag?”
 * “Huh?” He turned, and was hit in the back of the head with a frying pan. He fell unconscious on his face. As he fell, he revealed a white Yuzai holding the cooking instrument above his head. Suzaku was stunned. “I-I-I thought you forgot the Bag ‘O Tricks!” His friend laughed, and said, “Of course not, you dummy! Why would I forget that?!”
 * Sry, but this chapter was a bit short due to inspiration loss.
 * On to the CC’s

 * Mirai Iro zutto Bokura wa egaiteku
 * Ring. Ring. Ring. Yuzai’s cell phone rang like a monorail in an earthquake. “Mmmf. I’ll get it.” He picked it up, and asked grogglily, “ Hello?” A uniform voice replied, “Hello. This is Chancellor Popperrufferman here, and you must be Yuzai Fudo, correct?”
 * “Ugh. Correct.”
 * “Son of Yusei and Aki Fudo?”
 * “Yes, yes, why?”
 * “I just thought I would call you to remind you that exams end in twenty minutes.”
 * Yuzai rubbed his eyes, turned his phone on speaker, and got dressed.
 * “Yawn. I’m not enrolled for Duel Academy, ok? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go to school…” The black and red haired teen jumped suddenly when his older brother yelled, “Yuzai!!! Are you dressed yet? Duel Academy entrance exams end in twenty minutes!” Popperrufferman laughed. “Ha-ha! I’d reckon that’s your brother reminding you about our school.” Yuzai grimaced, and packed his deck and duel disk. “Listen, I don’t know what’s happening, but I’m not…” His older sibling called again.
 * “YUZAI. GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF YOUR ROOM, NOW.”
 * “Never mind, Mr. Popperrufferman. Bye!” Yuzai hung up, and ran downstairs.
 * In the car, Yuzai was upset with his brother.
 * “Why in the name of Gagaga Magician did you not tell me that I was gonna get transfered to Duel Academy?!”
 * “Mom and dad had a talk about how you’re more enthusiastic about dueling than studying, so they transferred you.”
 * “Will you be there?”
 * “For Pete’s sake, man, you’ve got to learn to be more independent without me! When you grow up, I won’t always be around!”
 * “Well, then, how about this; will Suzaku and Aurora be there?”
 * “Yes, they will.” Yuzai sighed with relief. He couldn’t stand the thought of being alone. Argo dropped him off at the plaza, where a tall steel tower protruded through the ground. Duel Tower: the entrance to the Academy exams. As Yuzai rushed through the crowds of people, he bumped against a six feet tall man with black hair with yellow highlights and lab coat. With him was a slender woman of about five feet, ten inches and burgundy hair was wearing about the same uniform with her accomplice. Yuzai fell to the ground. WHOMP. He skidded away. “Aagh,” he said painfully as he rubbed his rear. “That was… Oh, no!” His deck had spilled everywhere. He quickly apologized to the two grown-ups, without looking up. “Ah! Gomenasai, I’ll clean those cards up right now!” He got down on his hands and knees, and started to compile the spilled pieces of cardboard. The man smiled, and handed Yuzai a card. “Here,” he said.
 * “Take this. It may be a bit familiar to you, but I bet it’ll be a big help. After all, you are going to the exam tower, right?” Yuzai, still searching for his father’s Stardust Dragon, lifted his hand, and received the card. He looked at it, and thanked the man. “Ah. It does seem familiar… but I can’t figure out where I saw it before… its like déjà vu…” he looked at his watch, and yelped.
 * “Aaah! The exams are almost over! Gotta run…”
 * “Wait!” The burgundy haired lady threw him a card. Yuzai peeked at it.
 * “Wow! My dad’s ace monster! Arigato!” He waved, and hoped to see the twosome’s faces, but they quickly turned to shadow their features. The woman leaned over to the other person’s ear, and whispered something that made both of them laugh.
 * “I’m LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTE!!!!” Yelled the spiky haired teenager as he climbed the hedge that separated the city from the Duel Tower. He went into a big auditorium, where people had disks on their arms and dueling other schoolteachers. Yuzai sat down in a seat next to Suzaku.
 * “You’re late.”
 * “That I am!”
 * “Like always.”
 * “Yeah! How was your duel?”
 * “It went well. I qualified in Slifer Red.”
 * “I see they have now issued D-Vizors!” Suzaku clicked a button on a headset on his ear, and a sheet of glass that looked like a sword blade retreated into a slot.
 * “Yeah. Did you bring your junky one?”
 * “Yes! Yes, yes!” A microphone blared. “Fudo, Yuzai, please proceed to Duel Sector number 12.” “That’s my cue!” Said the black and red haired teen, jumping up and priming his duel disk. “I’m gonna make it to Obelisk in no time!” While Yuzai ran down the stairs to a large basketball court looking room, a malicious, orange, long, spiky haired teenager of about 17 and blue uniform smirked and clicked a mouse on a mini laptop. “Heh! That kid is never gonna enter this academy!” One of his friends scratched his head. “Um, I thought you said that his dad was Yusei Fudo, the duel champion of…” The other teenager scowled at his classmate, and closed his computer.
 * “If I said that, I take it back!” Another dumb looking fellow picked his nose.
 * “Why?”
 * “Because I was looking at his COSSY on my D-Vizor, and it was cataloged that he won 21 times, and lost 5,689 times in the DMCS series!”
 * He shook his head, smirking.
 * “He’s never gonna make it through this tower, not with the opponent he’s facing!”
 * “Who is he facing?”
 * “Lazar from Central Security!”
 * “Ok, ok, ok, who’s my opponent?” Yelled Yuzai impatiently. He stomped his foot, and twirled his duel disk that was strapped to his arm. “I’m full of kattobingu! No one can stand against me! I’m gonna hit this academy like a meteor! But first… I need an opponent! A tough opponent!” A platform rose from the ground, revealing a short, clown-ish looking person with purple hair. “At last!” Sighed the impatient Yuzai. “I have an opponent! An opponent that is… is… is… a clown?” The short fellow readied a golden duel disk. “I am not a clown, spiky haired dimwit! I’m Lazar from the Public Security Bureau! Now get it right!” Yuzai brightened. “All right! You’re the lockdown person that put Uncle Crow in a bind during his younger years!” He danced a jig. “Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! I’m gonna face this clown face! Oh, yeah!” Meanwhile, the black and yellow haired man and the red haired woman watched from the stands. “Are you sure pitting him against Lazar won’t be too much for him?” Whispered the lady to her friend. The other person leaned back to answer his questioner. “Of course not. That clown won’t stand a chance against our Yuzai, especially since we gave him the card.”
 * “Let’s Duel!”
 * (Both duelists prime D-Vizors)
 * D-Vizor: VIRTUAL REALITY SENSOR: ACTIVATED
 * Yuzai: I’m gonna kick this off! Ore no tan! Draw! (Draws) By discarding a monster from my hand, I can summon Quickdraw Syncron from my hand! Next I normal summon my Quillbolt Hegehog and tune to summon Shadow Extremist! (Atk/2200 Def/2700 lv 7 synchro warrior earth Shadow Synchron required: When a card on the field is targeted my a card effect; you can discard one card to negate the effect of that card: destroy it.) I set two. Tan endo.
 * Lazar: You’re not so tough! Ore no tan! (Draws) First I summon my Lockdown Knight in defense mode! (Atk/0 Def/0 lv 4 warrior dark: Neither player can synchro summon. When this card would be destroyed, you can send one Lockdown monster from your hand to the graveyard instead.) And now, I set four cards face down. Tan endo.
 * Yuzai: You’re one to talk about who’s not so tough! Ore no tan! (Draws)
 * Lazar: I activate my face down! Drop-Off, which makes you discard the card you drew this turn.
 * Yuzai: Darn. My Cosmos Linker. Well, that’s ok, ‘cuz I summon my Junk Synchron which summons my Quillbolt! Now I tune to summon T.G. Hyper Librarian!
 * (Silence. Junk Synchron and Hegdehog look embarrassed.)
 * Lazar: You dummy! My Lockdown Knight prevents synchro summons!
 * Yuzai: Er… I knew that! So, I, um…
 * Burgundy haired gal: Are you sure he’s going to win?
 * Black and yellow haired guy: Yeah, I’m sure. (Smiles)
 * Yuzai: I have it! I star together my two monsters to summon…
 * Lazar: Hold it! I activiate the Milky Way Blocker trap! This card prevents you from Cosmic summoning this turn!
 * Yuzai: That’s plain mean!
 * Lazar: Who cares?!
 * Yuzai: Well, I attack with Shadow Extremist.
 * Lazar: Ha-ha. You’re so stupid. I activate the effect of Lockdown Knight, so I discard my Lockdown King (Atk/1200 Def/100 lv 4 fiend dark: Your opponent cannot summon special summon Xyz monsters.) To prevent the destruction of Lockdown Knight.
 * Yuzai: Bah, humbug. Tan endo.
 * Lazar: Draw. (Draws) I summon my Spawn Mite, (Atk/0 Def/0 lv 3 fiend dark: When this card is summoned when all other monsters on the field are a higher level than this card, banish this card, and special summon two Spawn tokens with the same stats of this card, only they are level 4. You can overlay with them, but you cannot synchro summon with them.) And with it’s effect, I summon two spawn tokens. Now I overlay both to summon…. Negative 39: Zero Reverse!!
 * Yuzai: What’s with the number thing?
 * Lazar: You’ll see! Hahahahaha!
 * Black and yellow haired guy: What the…?
 * Orange haired dude: Heh. With Lazar’s Negative, we won’t have to worry about this punk.
 * Friend 1: Ummm… Huh?
 * Orange haired dude: Idiot! Do I have to explain it to you again?
 * Friend 1: Ummm… yeah.
 * Orange haired dude: Huh. I thought you peoples were smart. Anyway, there are 99 Negatives, which are like evil versions of Yuma Tsukumo’s number cards, scattered in this school, and all over the world. Like normal numbers, Negatives have a special effect that only number hunters know about. Also, If you beat someone that possess a Negative, your take it. In addition, in legends, it says that if you collect all 99 of them, you can unlock one of the greatest powers in the world! (Holds up a card and smirks) And I’m planning to be the first one to find them all, with my Negative 17: Leviath Storm Lord!
 * Friend 1 and Friend 2: Huh?
 * Orange haired guy: Gosh, you guys! You’re so empty headed!
 * Yuzai: Ha! I was hoping you would summon a powerful monster like that! ‘Cuz I activate my Bottomless Trap Hole, which negates you’re summon!
 * Lazar: Tsk, tsk! I play the effect of Zero Reverse! I detach one Xyz material, and negate your Trap Hole.
 * Yuzai: That. Is. So. Cheap.
 * Lazar: LOL! LOL! I attack with my Negative to Shadow Extremist!
 * Yuzai: (LP 3800)
 * Lazar: Turn endo. (laughs)
 * Yuzai: Ore no turn. (Draws) I summon Poki Draco! With its effect, I add another Poki Draco to my hand. Now I activate my trap card Poki Spawn!
 * Lazar: Ok… I’ll allow that.
 * Yuzai: So now I summon all Poki Draco from my hand and deck if I have a face up Poki! So go, two more Poki Draco! Now I Contact Fuse!!!! I summon Giant Poki Draco! (Atk/0 Def/0 lv 8 Dragon Fire Contact Fusion, 3 Poki Draco: During the turn that this card is summoned, this card’s attack becomes 5000 and cannot be targeted by trap cards. During the end phase, you can return this card to the extra deck to special summon one Poki Draco from your graveyard.) I attack!
 * Lazar: (LP 1500)
 * Lazar: Heh… heh… heh…
 * Yuzai: Haha! Wha’ddya say to that, you clown?!
 * Lazar: All I have to say is that you’re so STUPID!!
 * Yuzai: Why… AW, CRAP!
 * Orange haired dude: He’s in for a beating!
 * (Smoke clears, and reveals Zero Reverse, unharmed)
 * Lazar: Heh… Negatives can’t be destroyed in battle with other non-number monsters!!
 * Yuzai: THAT IS SO TOTALLY CHEAP!!
 * Suzaku: What?! I’ve never heard of this type of card!
 * Yuzai: Bah. During my end phase, my monster is sent back to the extra deck, and a Poki Draco comes from the grave, so turn endo.
 * Lazar: Hahaha! I draw! (Draws) I attack with my Negative! Begone, knave!
 * Yuzai: I’m not going anywhere! I play my Mirrot Force…
 * Lazar: Did you not forget my Negative’s effect? I detach one material, and negate the effect of your trap and destroy it! And since a trap was negated, I summon my Trap Sloozer! (Atk/800 Def/0 lv 4 machine dark tuner: When a trap card is negated, you can special summon this card from your hand. During the battle phase, you can tribute this card to destroy a card on the field.) Now, I sacrifice my Sloozer to destroy your puny monster. I now direct attack with Zero Reverse! Attack, attack, attack!!
 * Yuzai: (LP 1500) Ack.
 * Lazar: Tan endo, loser.
 * Orange haired dude: He’s gonna lose fer shur!
 * Yuzai: D-dang it…
 * Lazar: C’mon, just give up! With my lockdown monster and Nexus Blocker, you can’t use your favorite summons, and with my Negative, you can’t get through it, unless you have a number card, which I doubt!
 * Yuzai: Sh-sh-shut up!
 * Burgundy haired lady: Yusei! What’s going to happen…?
 * Black and yellow haired man: Don’t worry Aki; he’s gonna draw it now.
 * Yuzai: I’m gonna win, even if I can’t use my best monsters! ‘Cuz I draw… the winnin’ card! Ore no tan! (Draws)
 * Lazar: Not so fast! I activate the Destintaion: Virus Town trap! This card automatically destroys all spell cards in your hand! So bye bye magic!
 * Yuzai: What the… AAGH! Not my Dark Hole!
 * Lazar: You don’t stand a chance now!
 * Yuzai: (Thinks) Well, time to look at my draw… (Looks) Ooog. This might work.
 * (Speaks) I set a face down. Tan endo. (Lowers head)
 * Lazar: HA-HA! JUST AS I THOUGHT! YOU GAVE UP! GOOD CHOICE! BRAVO, BRAVO!
 * Orange haired dude: (Smirks)
 * Burgundy haired lady: (Shuts eyes)
 * Suzaku: Come on….
 * Lazar: Ore no tan! (Draws) I activate the spell, “Just To Be Sure”! This cuts my life points in half… (LP 750) And I now destroy all cards you control!
 * Black and yellow haired man: YES!
 * Yuzai: OH, YEAH!! You SUCK, Lazar!
 * Lazar: Huh?
 * Yuzai: ‘Cuz I activate this card I got on my way to class!
 * Lazar: What’s that?
 * Yuzai: The card I’m gonna play is…. Starlight Road!
 * Lazar: Wh-wh-what?!
 * Yuzai: This trap card lets me negate your spell, since it would destroy 2 cards on the field, and summons a Stardust Dragon from my extra deck!
 * Lazar: Say what?!
 * Yuzai: Say, you lost! (Stardust is summoned) And since your Negative’s effect is that when I activate a spell or trap while it has no Xyz materials, it’s automatically destroyed!
 * (Shatters)
 * Lazar: I-I-I thought my Lockdown Knight prevented you from synchro summoning!
 * Yuzai: Nope. This is a special summon from the extra deck, not a synchro summon!
 * Lazar: O-o-ok, but I still have my monster to protect me from your monster!
 * Yuzai: Tee hee! I play the Treatment Blowup card, which blows up a face up card on the field when I summon a special treatment monster! So bye-bye to your monster!
 * (Shatters)
 * Lazar: This isn’t happening!!!
 * Yuzai: Oh, yes it is! Cosmic Flare!
 * (Stardust attacks directly)
 * Lazar: (LP 0)
 * (A shadow appears above Zero Reverse, and makes it dissapear, and reappears in Yuzai’s deck slot.)
 * Orange haired dude: Impossible! No he has a Negative too! Well, he’s my first target… heh heh…
 * Aurora (Just came): Oh, yeah! Go Yuzai!
 * Aki: Yes! Our little shooting star just passed the exam!
 * Yusei: …
 * After the duel, Yuzai came running up to his friends, who cheered. He hi-fived Suzaku, and grinned widely.
 * “I passed!!”
 * “That was awesome!”
 * Yuzai came to the two people that gave him Starlight Road. “Hey, mom, dad!” He called. “Gomensai, I didn’t recognize you at first, but now I do!” There was an awkward silence, but soon after, Aki Fudo hugged her son with tremendous force. “Oh, I’m so proud of you!! You made it to the same academy that Yuki, Truesdale, Phoenix and all of the pro duelists went to!” Yuzai was shook up and down like a leaf in a tornado. “Ah-ah-ah, p-p-put me d-d-down mom!” Realizing what she was doing, she let her son go, with a big smile on her face. Argo came as well, dressed in blue. “Argo!” Exclaimed Yuzai, running up to him. “I thought you weren’t going to the D.A.!” His big brother grinned.
 * “Well, I didn’t say I wasn’t going, did I?”
 * “What dorm are ya in?”
 * “Well, isn’t it obvious? Obelisk Blue.” Yuzai’s smile faded. “Oh.” Their father stepped in. “Hey, don’t compare now, ok?” Both of his sons Okayed, and the megaphone blared, “The exams are over. Please proceed to the chopper. Destination: Duel Academy” Yuzai started to run toward the aircraft, but turned to face his parents. “Goodbye! I’ll come back during holidays! Thanks for the trap card!” He packed is bags, and ran downstairs.
 * Hatenaki Sekai naraba kono Mune ni wa Akashi o
 * Yuzai: Bah. During my end phase, my monster is sent back to the extra deck, and a Poki Draco comes from the grave, so turn endo.
 * Lazar: Hahaha! I draw! (Draws) I attack with my Negative! Begone, knave!

 * There were whacking, sounds of fists, and skulls bashing as Suzaku tried to wake up Yuzai from a state of sleep. Thankfully, the sound of the chopper deafened the yells and exclamations. “Keep it down,” shouted Argo sternly, folding his arms, and adjusting his earbuds. “I’m trying to listen to the radio here.” The orange haired dude in the stands smirked in the seat behind Yuzai’s. “Taking that loser’s Negative card should be easy, if he keeps this up.” He peered at Argo. “But first, I’m gonna have to incapacitate this guy if I want to get far.” He looked at the buff teenager. “Hey, you wanna ante duel when we get to the academy?” Argo turned with a smile-less face.
 * “No. I know who you are, and what you’re after, Yunarus.”
 * “LOL! I know who you are too! So, what am I after?”
 * “The Negatives.”
 * “Correct, I guess you know the stories too then, hm?”
 * “Yes.”
 * “Well, I think you would know what this card is!” He held up Negative 17: Leviath Storm Lord, which looked like a big, blue, metallic humanoid with a head that was molded in with its torso, which had the head and tail of Leviathan Dragon ingrained into its back. Argo shook his head.
 * “No. I only know the stories of them.” Yunarus smirked.
 * “You don’t know as much as I expected. But stil, I bet you’re trying to find all 99 of them.”
 * “Yes.” Their conversation was cut short when the driver yelled through the speakers. “HEY! GET YOUR BIG BUTTS OUT OF HERE, BECAUSE WERE HERE AT DUEL ACADEMY! SCAT!”
 * At the academy, the students lined up to receive their dorm colors. “And… here is your uniform!” A staff member said as he handed Yuzai a red coat that looked like an IIDK coat, black pants, belt, deck box, and red shoes. There was a badge on the breast pocket that read “S.R.” Yuzai draped the jacket on his shoulders, and carried the rest of the oufit in his arms. “What’s the ‘S.R.’ for?” He asked Aurora, dressed in a red skirt and clothing. She crossed her arms, unimpressed. “It stands for Slifer Red,” she said matter-of-factly.
 * “And I see you got your ‘dunce’ regalia.”
 * “What ‘dunce’ regalia?”
 * “If you have a win raito of 10% or less, which you have, than you get ‘dunce’ written on the back of your jacket. If you increase your winning average to over 50%, it gets taken off.”
 * “That’s a new regulation.” Yuzai and Aurora ventured to the Slifer Red dorm. While they walked there, Sakura caught up with them. Her uniform was basically the same as Aurora’s only blue.
 * “I see you’re in red. Slifer Red.”
 * “Yes! And you are…?”
 * “Obelisk Blue of course!” Yuzai’s jaw dropped.
 * “Obelisk?! Like big brother?!”
 * “Yeah, why?”
 * “Oh, no reason.” Sakura grinned, and headed back to her own dorm, which was a series of tall streamlined buildings of glass and steel. “I wish I was in Obelisk,” moaned Yuzai, sighing.
 * “Then I wouldn’t be branded with a ‘Hey-even-though-my dad-is-a-pro-duelist-I’m-in’-Slifer-Red-so-I-don’t-know-a-thing-about-dueling’ reputation.” Aurora patted him on the back, sympathizing.
 * “It’s ok, Yuzai. Even though you may not be able to be with your big brother or twin sister, you’ve still got us, right? Us meaning Suzaku and I. Besides, that orange haired person is in blue, so you don’t need to worry about him if you’re in this dorm.”
 * Yuzai lightened up.
 * “Hey, yeah!” He spread his arms wide, and hit his friend in the face, who fell into a river nearby. “Ah. Gomenasai, Aurora!” He apologized as he bent over to help his friend out of the stream. She got out, sopping wet. “Thanks.” She said sulkily, squeezing water out of her waist long hair.
 * When they got into their dorm, a mouse scurried across the floor. Aurora scowled, and picked it up. “The health department ought to give this place an F.” She said, letting the rodent loose. A sleepy voice came from above from the bunk bed. “That’s the first time I ever saw a girl pick up a mouse and not throw in the river.” Both of the newcomers jumped as a tall teenager of about 16 came down. His black hair was quite messy, and wasn’t exactly long, but was on the short side. Suzaku’s head popped out of the bathroom. “Hey, guys! This is our new roommate, Tamaki Tokkosho. He’s a close friend with Rosgol.” Tamaki walked up to Yuzai and asked, “Wanna ante duel for your Negative?” Everyone else exclaimed, “HUH?!” Tamaki held up a card. It read “Negative 20: Insectoid Mass Attack Dragon”. Yuzai held up his own monster that read “Negative 39: Zero Reverse” “You mean this card?”
 * “Yeah. You willing to duel for it?”
 * “No. Why?”
 * “’Cuz I’m a ZEro hunter.”
 * “Huh?” Tamaki explained to them about the Negatives, what it meant to be a ZEro hunter, and other bits of info. “Cool!” Marveled Aurora, who looked at her extra-deck. “I wanna be a ZEro hunter too!” “Well, you’ve got a competitor!” Exclaimed Yuzai, jumping up and down with excitement. Tamaki laughed, and suddenly got all serious. “Hang on now! There’s only one more piece of information you need to be a good ZEro hunter.”
 * “What?”
 * “First fo all, you can’t trade for a Negative! You have to beat them in a duel to get it, and second, if you’re not careful, a Negative can possess you.” That remark silenced everyone. “Say, what?”
 * “Say, it possesses you! You’ll have to be mentally vigilant to prevent a Negative from taking over your mind.” He pointed at Yuzai, who had eagerly unpacked his suitcase and tore a bag of Skittles™. “I don’t know why he’s not possessed, though.” “Simple,” said the recipient of the remark, as he popped seven Skittles into his mouth. “I don’t WANT to be possessed, Z-boy.” Tamaki turned to Aurora, who was also unpacking. “Nice boyfriend.” Yuzai took notice.
 * “She’s not my girlfriend.”
 * “LOL, spiky boy. Liar.”
 * “Dude, stop, she’s not my girlfriend.”
 * “Then why were you two walking together, and why did you rescue her from that river?”
 * “First, we were walking together because were FRIENDS, I mean, she’s a girl, and she’s a friend, but GIRLFRIEND? I don’t think so. Second, wouldn’t you rescue someone if he or she was drowing?”
 * “I guess…” Suzaku laughed out loud. “Ha-ha! He’s got you, Tamaki! He’s got you good!” A phone buzzed, and Yuzai pulled his cellular device out of his pocket and put it on speaker.
 * “Hello?”
 * “Dude, stop, she’s not my girlfriend.”
 * “Then why were you two walking together, and why did you rescue her from that river?”
 * “First, we were walking together because were FRIENDS, I mean, she’s a girl, and she’s a friend, but GIRLFRIEND? I don’t think so. Second, wouldn’t you rescue someone if he or she was drowing?”
 * “I guess…” Suzaku laughed out loud. “Ha-ha! He’s got you, Tamaki! He’s got you good!” A phone buzzed, and Yuzai pulled his cellular device out of his pocket and put it on speaker.
 * “Hello?”
 * “Sure! Bye…”
 * “Hold on!”
 * “What?”
 * “Lets make this interesting; whoever wins gets the other person’s newest card! As in your Negative 39: Zero Reverse, and my Negative 17: Leviath Storm Lord!”
 * “You’re on!”
 * “Goodbye!” There was a click, and Tamaki yelled. “AAAUGGGH!! Why the heck did you do that?!”
 * “What?”
 * “Did you just challenge Yunarus?”
 * “I think so, why?”
 * “He’s the best of the best! The top of the heap! The head honcho! The…”
 * “I get the point.”
 * “Ok, but anyway, he’s gonna demolish you, he’s so good.”
 * Yuzai objected, and raised a fist.
 * “Are you saying he’s a better duelist than my big brother?”
 * “YES!”
 * “Well, that’s where you’re wrong! I’M THE BEST DUELIST!! HA-HAHAHA!”
 * Yuzai rolled on the floor with his joke. “HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!”
 * “Glad you could come, loser!” Trash-talked Yunarus as he smirked at Yuzai, who primed his disk.
 * “My pleasure!”
 * “Get ready to lose your best card!”
 * Let’s Duel!
 * D-Vizor: DUEL TARGET: LOCKED ON. DUEL MODE: SET. ANTE VERSION: SET
 * Yunarus: I’ll go first! Ore no tan! (Draws) I summon Raven Lord Ω (Atk/2000 Def/2000 lv3 winged beast earth: While you control no cards, you can special summon this card from your hand. Cannot be summoned any other ways.)
 * Yuzai: Huh? Hey, read the rulebook! You can’t play a level five or higher monster without sacrificing!
 * Yunarus: Hmmf. Read the card. I can summon it if I have no cards! No if you’ll excuse me...I normal summon Raven Claw ß! (Atk/1000 Def/0 lv3 winged beast earth: When this card is used for the Cosmic summon of a ‘Raven’ Cosmic monster, draw one card.) Next, I star my Raven Claw ß and Raven Lord Ω to summon Raven King Deltronic X! (Atk/2400 Def/1200 lv 9 cosmic winged beast wind, Any number of “Raven” monsters: When this card is summoned, draw cards equal to the number of “Raven” monsters used for this card’s cosmic summon.) And, since I used two raven monsters, I can draw two cards! I set three cards face down. Tan endo.
 * Yuzai: This’ll be easy! Ore no tan! (Draws)
 * Aurora: Go Yuzai! Win that ZNuumber!
 * Yuzai: I summon my Goblindbergh, which summons my Doppelwarrior! Next I star them together to cosmic Shoukan Star Rose Dragon. Then, since I have a cosmic monster, I can special summon my level 4 True-Blu Rocker in atk mode with 1600 atk points. I now banish my earth attribute Goblindbergh to summon my Accel Warrior. (Atk/200 Def/2000 lv 3 tuner warrior earth: You an banish one earth monster from your grv to special summon this card from your hand.) I now tune them together, and synchro Shoukan Black Rose Dragon. Star Rose now attacks your bird monster! Red Hailstorm!
 * Yunarus: (LP 3900)
 * Yuzai: I now attack with Black Rose!
 * Yunarus: (LP 1500) HAHA! I activate my trap! It’s called Supply and Demand! (Trap: Activate only when you take more than 2000 damage this turn. Special summon one lv 4 or lower monster from your deck.) So I summon my Blackwing-Gale the Whirlwind.
 * Yuzai: That’s fine. Tan endo.
 * Yunarus: I draw! (Draws) I summon my level 3 Raven Squall, and activate the Nullifier trap card! This prevents monsters I control from being targeted by card effects until the end of this turn. Next, I activate the effect of Gale, and halve the atk of Star Rose!
 * Star Rose Dragon: Atk/1250
 * Yunarus: And now, I overlay star level 3, Raven Squall and Gale the Whirlwind to summon Negative 17: Leviath Storm Lord!
 * Tamaki: Gasp! A Negative!
 * Yuzai: Not again, I hate those cards!
 * Yunarus: I activate the special ability of my monster! When it’s Xyz summoned, I can detach two monsters from it to destroy 2 cards on your field!
 * Yuzai: Th-That’s not fair!
 * Yunarus: Who cares! I destroy both of your cards, Black Rose and Star Rose!
 * (Both Shatter)
 * Yuzai: Ugh. I activate Starlight Road! This negates the effect of your monster and destroys it! Then I can summon a Stardust Dragon from my extra deck!
 * (Stardust is Summoned)
 * Yunarus: You dummy! With the effect of my trap card, you can’t destroy my Storm Lord by card effects!
 * Yuzai: True, but I still get a monster.
 * Yunarus: Ok, but I play my last Trap! Its called Xyz Assault. (Equip Trap: Equip only to an Xyz monster. Once every other turn, you can re-equip one monster in your grave with a level equal to the rank of an Xyz monster on the field. ) So I re-attach the xyz materials to Leviath. I now detach all of them so that it gains 600 atk! Tan endo.
 * Yuzai: Ok, Ore no tan!! (Draws) I summon D-Viroulderew! (Atk/200 Def/100 lv 3 dark fiend: When this card is normal summoned, destroy it. Then special summon one D-Viroulderew in def mode.) With its effect, I destroy it, and summon another to take its place.
 * Yunarus: Why would you do that?
 * Yuzai: ‘Cuz I activate Foolish Burial, and with it I send my A/D Changer to the graveyard. Next, I banish all my light and my dark monster to summon my BLS!
 * Yunarus: You have that card?!
 * Yuzai: Yes, and now I play the Extra Name spell card, which lets me take my monsters name, and replace it with a monster name in my extra deck. So I decare Negative 39: Zero Reverse!
 * Yunarus: What? No!
 * Yuzai: So I attack with my monster! Go Ultimate Luster Slash!
 * (Shatters)
 * Yunarus: No! My monster! And my life points! (LP 1100)
 * Yuzai: and now for the winning…
 * Their duel was interrupted by a group of buff looking guys dressed in brown. Yunarus yelped. “Gah! It- it- it wasn’t me, Mr. Tetsu Trudge!” The buffest man grinned like he just squashed a dog under his heel. “You know it’s your fault, Yunarus, you always get in trouble in midnight illegal duels! You know you’re not supposed to be dueling at an hour like this!” Aurora, Suzaku, and Tamaki were caught by their collars and held up like pieces of string. Yuzai quickly tried to help them, but was also held up by his collar. “What’s going on?!!!” He moaned as he tried to break free of the iron like grip restraining him “Its the school security!” Wailed Tamaki. “We might get in trouble for this!” Trudge picked up Yunarus. “Why you, lilly livered scallywag! You intolerable piece of Cheeze Whiz! You…”
 * “Wait!” Shouted Yuzai.
 * “What is it?!”
 * “I led him here, and challenged him to a duel! Please don’t expel him, we were just having a bit of fun!” Yunarus looked at him in shock. “Y-Y-You…” He stammered. Suzaku’s jaw dropped. Mr. Trudge took a step forward. “You got some guts to admit that to us, FUDO.” He said, emphazising the last word. “But, since you’re a newcomer, I’ll let this slide!” The brown suit people let everyone go with a plonk. They all left, cracking their knuckles. Yunarus ambled over to Yuzai, and scowled.
 * “Why did you do that?!”
 * “Because I didn’t want you to be expelled! Something wrong with that?”
 * “Yes! I was your ENEMY!”
 * “Who cares?” Yunarus grimaced, and left. “Later.” He yelled.
 * “I’ll be coming back for you’re Negative, Yuzai.”
 * “LOL! LOL! Me too! Bye bye!”
 * Hatenaki Sekai naraba kono Mune ni wa Akashi o

 * Mirai Iro zutto Bokura wa egaiteku
 * “Hey! Hey! Hey Yuzai! Wake up! We’re late for class!” Aurora shook her friend five times.
 * “Mmf.”
 * “Hey! Wake up!”
 * “Mmmmmf!!!”
 * “Hey! Hey!! Time to get up!”
 * “Uuugh!”
 * “WAKE UP!”
 * “Aauugh, dad, make mom go away!”
 * “I’m not your mom!
 * “MMMF. GO. AWAY. MOM.”
 * Suzaku, dressed in red, helped Aurora. “Here,” he said, taking her place. “I know Yuzai. He doesn’t wake up until you put food under his nose.” He took a kabab of shrimp, and held it at his friends smell senser. “Sniff sniff. Aah. Good, shrimp. I love shrimp… could I get a bite, mom…?” Yuzai opened his mouth, and chomped on Suzaku’s hand and the kabob. The white haired teen yelled in agony. “AAAAAAAAUUUUGH!!! Get your-your-your big potato trap off of my hand!” The person he was trying to wake up instantly did so, and also screamed. “AAAUUGH! I’m gonna be late for class! Why didn’t you wake me up, mom?! Where’s breakfast!? AAAAAUGH!”
 * “Hey! Wake up! Wake up! Ukyo Sensei is talking! Wake up!” Aurora had to constantly shake her black and red haired friend to keep him from falling asleep. The teacher took notice of Yuzai’s sleepiness, and called on him.
 * “Fudo! What do the terms ‘bounce’ and ‘tutor’ mean?”
 * “Zoooz… Ow! Aurora…! Oh, right! Bounce means to… um… to… uh… return to the hand?”
 * “Very good. Now, what does tutor mean?”
 * “Well, um…. Uh… it means… uh… hmmm….”
 * “Hurry up. We don’t’ have the entire first period to listen to your ‘umm’ ing.”
 * “Ok prof, so, umm, tutor means, um… to… um… to...”
 * “Very good. Now, what does tutor mean?”
 * “Well, um…. Uh… it means… uh… hmmm….”
 * “Hurry up. We don’t’ have the entire first period to listen to your ‘umm’ ing.”
 * “Ok prof, so, umm, tutor means, um… to… um… to...”
 * “Ah, ok, so tutor means to um… ah! I remember! It means to search your deck and summon a monster, right?”
 * “Ah, no.”
 * “Oops.”
 * “Now, can someone else tell me what ‘tutor’ means?”
 * Aurora leaned over to Yuzai, and whispered.
 * “What’s with you?”
 * “What?”
 * “Are you always like this?”
 * “Yes. You’ve seen a first hand account that I… I…. I… Zooozz….”
 * “Oh, brother…”
 * Ukyo Sensei hollered.
 * “Hey! Fudo! Wake up! Do I have to call on you every single second?.”
 * “Zoooz…! Huh?!” The teacher pointed at a solemn teenager of about 16, dressed in a green uniform with long black hair, trailing down his neck like a tail.
 * “Meta, Hironobu! Do you know?”
 * The student stood up.
 * “Yes.”
 * “Please tell the class, please.”
 * He stood up.
 * “Tudor means to search your deck to add a card from your deck to your hand.”
 * “Very good. Please give us some examples.”
 * “Reinforcement of the Army, Shien’s Smoke Signal, and Mirai Swarm Force.”
 * “Excellent! Now, does tudoring apply for monster effects?”
 * “No. It only works for spell and trap cards.”
 * “Excellent!” Yuzai was confused.
 * “Hey! Aurora! I thought there were only three dorms, not four!”
 * “I know!”
 * “Then why is this guy in green?”
 * “Because, you dummy, the DA added an additional dorm above blue!”
 * “Really? That’s cool. So what’s it called?”
 * “It’s called Orichalcos Green, after the monster card.”
 * “I prefer Stardust White, or Exodia Gold…”
 * Ukyo heard him.
 * “Hey! Fudo! Do I have to kick you out?”
 * “No.”
 * “Good. So no talking.” The bell rang. The proffesor turned to see all of his students rising. “Remember,” he said, cleaning up his teaching materials. “I want all of your strategy thereoms and worst-case scenario formula’s filled out by Friday. Wagata?” The students understood, and left.
 * “Big brother!” Yelled two 14-year old girls as they chased after a black and red haired teen with a female his age. Yuzai turned, and saw his younger sisters running after him.
 * “Hey! Keiko! Katsuko! I didn’t know you were gonna be here!”
 * “Us too!”
 * “So, what dorm are you guys in?”
 * “Ra! What about you?”
 * “Um… red.”
 * “Oh.”
 * “Yeah, I know.” The two black and yellow haired females looked at eachother, and smiled. “Did you see Hironobu Meta today?” Yuzai shrugged.
 * “I don’t know. Did we, Aurora?” She looked annoyed.
 * “Yes. Remember the guy dressed in green?”
 * “Um… Yeah, I think so.”
 * “That was him.”
 * “I didn’t catch that.”
 * Katsuko was excited, and started jumping up and down.
 * “He’s the only Orichalcos Green student in the whole school! That means he’s the best of the best here!” Yuzai jumped.
 * “The best?”
 * “Yeah!”
 * “I gotta tell Argo! See ya sis, gotta go for PE!” He ran off with Aurora. She asked her friend a question while panting to a big dome in the middle of the school.
 * “Why does Argo need to know?”
 * “’Cuz he wants to be the greatest of the greatest, the Duel King!”
 * “That’s a big dream.”
 * “Yeah, and he’s THIS close to being entitled to it!”
 * “FUDO!” Yelled an instructor. “You’re late!” The black and red haired teen panted, and put his hands on his knees. “Y-yeah… sorry coach. So, what’re you guys up to? Ah, I see… strength tests… I don’t like strength strength tests…” The instructor scowled, and picked up Yuzai’s arm as he took his red jacket off.
 * “You’re as skinny as a bone!” He said, stepping on Argo as he did fifty push-ups. “Get down, and gimme a hundred! And you, missy, get over there and do fifty chin ups!”
 * “This school isn’t much different than the IIDK.” Thought Yuzai, as he struggled with his second push-up. After the strength test, the students had to run eight miles, nonstop. “This ought to be good,” said Argo, as he ran a few feet.
 * “I love eight mile runs.”
 * “And I hate ‘em!” Exclaimed his little brother, who was desperate to catch up.
 * “You don’t have to run so fast. Go at the pace you’re used to.”
 * “I know.”
 * “Then how come you’re running st top speed?”
 * “’Cuz I’m out to BEAT you!”
 * “This isn’t a contest.”
 * “Well, it might as well be, if you’re participating.”
 * “Why?”
 * “Because it’s no contest! Everyone falls away from you, and you become a superstar.” Yuzai tossed a tendril of hair out his face.
 * “If I can’t beat you dueling, I’m gonna beat you running.” Argo smirked.
 * “You’ll have to do better than that.” He took off at a sprint, leaving Yuzai with a face-full of dust. “What the… OOF, AUGH, PLAH, PLAH, WHOOPS!” He tripped, and fell on his nose. “Gah!” The black and red haired teenager felt his smell sensor, and handled a warm liquid. “Oh, doy,” he said, standing up. “Bloddy dose.” Another runner who stepped on his back, and sent his target falling nose-first in to the hard rubber ground quickly put him down again. “Bad lug zuroundz be.” Said Yuzai, propping himself up with an arm. Another student kicked him into a grassy field. “Hey!” He had called. “Get out of the way, loser!”

 * “What the heck are you singing!?” Asked Aurora as Yuzai pressed a few buttons on his phone.
 * “It’s called ‘Masterpiece’.”
 * He giggled, and showed his female friend what he texted.
 * “Hey, take a look at this!” He exclaimed excitedly.
 * “Look what I sent Argo!” Aurora took the smart phone, and. read: Hey, Argo, hw is it at the blu drm?
 * “Very nice,” she said, handing the phone back.
 * “Ask him how your sister is doing.”
 * “Hold on…” He pressed a few more buttons. “Hey, lookee at what I sent this time!” He said, passing his device back up the bunk bed. It said: What up, Arg? Hw r u? Hws yr girlfriend? Hv u kissed yet? Aurora frowned, and sent it back to her friend.
 * “You know, he’s probably gonna smash you to bits tommorow.”
 * “Oh yeah, huh?” Yuzai continued to click buttons on his cell. After a few minutes, he gave it back to his female friend. It said: To: Yuzai Re: No. Message: stay out of ths, and no, we hvnt x’d yet.  Yuzai sent another text that read: wel, then, whns the wdding? Exactly five seconds after the text, Argo came through the door, socked Yuzai so hard that he made a small indentation in the wall, and punched him in the gut so that his little brother puked on the floor.

Parents Day! “My dad is a better mechanic than your dad!” “My dad has the Blackwing Armor Master!” “That’s what I thought too, but apparently, Chancellor Popperrufferman had a change of plans, due to a series of unknown events.”
 * Mirai Iro zutto Bokura wa egaiteku
 * “My dad is taller than your dad!”
 * “My dad is 7’3”!”
 * “Oh. Ok. Well then, my dad is a better bowler than your dad!”
 * “My dad is a proffesional bowler!”
 * “Oh. Ok. Never mind…” Yuzai was having a “My dad” conversation with Tamaki back at their dorm. “Enough with the ‘my dad’ nonsense!” Shouted Suzaku, working on a strategem for Plan Class.
 * “My dad can play the harmonica better than both of your dads!”
 * Aurora chimed in.
 * “My dad is a turbo duelist champion!”
 * The black and red haired teen lighted up. “I have an ace card! My dad is a better duelist than either all of…” Yuzai was cut off. Aurora had scowled, and argued with him.
 * “My dad is a better turbo duelist than your dad!”
 * “My dad is a better mechanic than your dad!”
 * “My dad has Red Dragon Archfiend!”
 * “My dad has Stardust Dragon!”
 * “My dad is taller than your dad!”
 * “My dad saved the world!”
 * “My dad…”
 * “My dad…” Tamaki chuckled and grinned. “Are they always this way?” Suzaku smiled as well.
 * “Most of the time, when the topic of fathers come up.”
 * “Who usually wins the contest?”
 * “It’s almost always a stalemate, saying things like ‘my dad has this card’, ‘my dad has this D-Wheel part’, and so forth.”
 * “Why do they do it?”
 * “Its in the genes. Both of their fathers were archrivals, so it’s only natural that they would argue.”
 * “Kind strange, isn’t it?”
 * “What is?”
 * “That although they argue about their dads, and yet they seem like boyfriend, girlfriend.” Yuzai and Aurora were alerted of the remark, and each yelled a different reaction. The Fudo kid had exclaimed, “She’s not my girlfriend!” While the waist-long haired female vocalized, “He’s not that close!” Tamaki laughed out loud. “BAHAHAHAHAHAH! YOU TWO ARE HILARIOUS! HAHAHAHAHAH!”
 * “You’re weird…”
 * “WAKE UP, FUDO!” Yelled Ukyo Sensei as he turned red in the face, and snapped his baton on Yuzai’s desk. “THIS IS NOT A ROOM FOR SLEEPING! WAKE UP!” The target of the demand did not wake up. Instead, he just kept snoring, inflating and deflating a bubble from his nose. “Huh? Cookies? I love cookies. Here, let me have one…” he dozed into an unwakeable sleep. After Plan Class, Tamaki sighed, and shook his head.
 * “This kid is gonna give the Reds a bad name.”
 * “Bad… name? I know a bad name… it’s called… its called… Red Dragon Archfiend… zooooz.” Aurora, who was carrying Yuzai on her back, groaned.
 * “When is gonna wake up?” She moaned. “He’s starting to drool!” Suzaku looked surprised.
 * “He’s still asleep? Gosh, he must be pooped if he’s still sleeping since Plan Class.”
 * “Indeed.” Tamaki observed the sleeping teenager.
 * “You sure he’s not too heavy?”
 * “Nope. Light as a feather.”
 * “Must be, considering how skinny he is. But how he eats, boy…”
 * “Yeah, I know.”
 * “He ain’t a Fudo kid. He’s a Foodo kid. HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA...” Suzaku grimaced. “Ah, no. Lame joke.”
 * “Yuzai!” A cold voice yelled from a hallway. It was Yunarus, holding up a card with the picture of a black and red haired teenager. “Is this you?” He tossed the card at Suzaku, who caught, it, and punched Yuzai in the face.
 * “Zoooz…. Ow! Suzaku! Why did you... hey, its Yunarus.”
 * “Yeah, and he threw us a card with your name and pic on it.”
 * “Weird… Hey! That’s me! On a profile card!”
 * “So it’s true then, hm?” Yunarus asked, grinning.
 * “You’re the son of Yusei Fudo.”
 * “Uh, yeah. Why?”
 * “Because, it explains the hair, the cards, and the strategy.”
 * “So what?”
 * “So you’re very predictable!”
 * “Who cares! I bet my dad is a better duelist than your dad!”
 * Yunarus took offense.
 * “No, my dad is a better duelist than your dad!”
 * “Who cares! I bet my dad is a better duelist than your dad!”
 * Yunarus took offense.
 * “No, my dad is a better duelist than your dad!”
 * “My dad is a better birdkeeper than your dad!”
 * “My dad is faster than your dad!”
 * “That’s impossible! Only uncle Crow that synchro monster!”
 * “Yeah?”
 * “Yeah! In fact, if your dad has that card, I still think that my dad can beat your dad in a duel anytime, anyhwere!”
 * Yunarus scowled.
 * “We’ll see, tommorow, at Parents visting day!” Yuzai was confused.
 * “What’s that?”
 * “Dummy. Parents Visiting Day is when all of the moms and dads come to DA to see how their kids are doing.” He flashed his grey eyes.
 * “And there is a feature match between two of the parents, and two of the students.”
 * Yuzai lit up, and jumped.
 * “Are you saying that our dads might duel…”
 * “I’m saying that they WILL duel, ‘cuz their the best duelists out there.” Aurora, who was bottling up anger, let it burst.
 * “ARE YOU CALLING MY DAD A LOSER, OR SOMETHING?!!” Yunarus and Yuzai put their hands on their ears, and the orange haired teen smiled.
 * “No, but he won’t be there since he’s got a proffesional duel that day.” Suzaku beckoned Yuzai, who was already priming his duel disk. “C’mon.” He said. “Let’s go.” Yunarus smirked, and walked away. “We’ll see whose dad is the best duelist, Yuge.”
 * “FUDO.” Yelled Ukyo Sensei AGAIN the next day. “WAKE. UP. TODAY IS PARENT VISITING DAY, AND YOU DON’T WANT TO LOOK LIKE A TOTAL DUNCE IN FRONT OF YUSEI AND AKI FUDO, RIGHT? WAGATA?” Yuzai awoke instantly, and understood. As he walked out of class, he froze to see a flock of grown-ups emerge from planes, helicopters, and other aircraft. He quickly ran to Argo, who was heading back to his blue dorm with his friends. “Hey! Big brother!” He yelled as he caught with his sibling. Argo turned to him.
 * “What is it?”
 * “I thought the parents were coming at night, not lunch time!”
 * “I thought the parents were coming at night, not lunch time!”
 * “So, what are they going to do here?”
 * “Ok, so the parents are going to have a meeting with the chancellor about what the DA is, then, there going to eat lunch, and after, visit their kid’s dorms.”
 * “And?”
 * “And at night time, there’s gonna be two feature matches between two students, and two parents, ok?”
 * “Ok.”
 * “Good. And by the way, mom and dad aren’t coming ‘til the feature match, so keep that in mind.”
 * “Aok.” Yuzai left, and heard Argo’s friends say things such as, “What a chump! He lost fifteen duels yesterday, and failed a test!”
 * “Yeah, I know! Argo, if you’re brothers with this guy, how come you’re so much better?”
 * “That guy’s so dumb, he didn’t know what ‘tutor’ meant!” Argo returned their remarks with punches in the face.
 * “Hey! Aurora! Tamaki! Suzaku! I just found out… oh.” Yuzai stopped talking to see his uncle Kiryu dueling his son, Suzaku, near the dorm. “Direct attack with Infernity Ogre Dragoon.” He said calmly. Suzaku’s life points dropped down to zero, and lost. “Ugh.” He groaned as he stood up. “That was a good old fashioned butt-whoopin’.” Kiryu cleaned his revolver-like duel disk, and blew a few solemn notes on his harmonica. “You still have a lot to learn.” He said, coolly. He walked away, and ruffled Yuzai’s hair. “See ya later, Yusei Jr.” The white haired man joked as he headed back to the main school buildings. The black and burgundy haired teenager rushed over to see what was going on.
 * “Why was your dad here already?” Suzaku rubbed his head.
 * “He wanted to see what I was learning in Duel Academy, but I said that this was only, what, the fourth day? That was when dad challenged me to a duel.” He shook his head.
 * “I’m never gonna duel him again, not if I lose in two turns.” Yuzai looked at Tamaki. “Where are your parents?”
 * “Ah, their not gonna be here.”
 * “Why not?”
 * “’Cuz they have to go to some sort of party.”
 * Aurora yawned as she came out of the house-like dorm.
 * “Hey, Yuzai. Do any better in Card Class?”
 * “No, but I did get a demerit!”
 * “And how is that supposed to help with grades?”
 * “Nothing.”
 * “Thanks for coming out, parents!” Greeted a sausage haired man.
 * “As you saw later today, our classrooms and teachers are absolutely superior to other academies, and our hygiene is perfectly fine.” He pointed to a hallway in the huge dome-like confrence room.
 * “That way are the refreshments, and the teachers lounge.” He then pointed to the stage he standing on, and smiled to the parents.
 * “And this,” the MC declared. “Is the stage two parents and two students will be dueling on.” Yuzai, in the stands above, watched and whispered to Yunarus, who was standing beside him.
 * “Hey, when’s our parents’ duel?”
 * “It’s coming up, loser.”
 * “Oh. I’ve should’ve known.” The master of ceremonies bowed, and said in a grand voice, “And for our parent duel, we have on of the most renowned duelists of the age, master turbo duelist, experienced engineer, and husband to Aki Fudo…” He pointed to a black and yellow haired man in the crowd of parents. “Yusei Fudo!” All clapped as he stood up to the stage, dressed in lab coat and altered KC mass production duel disk. Yuzai’s mom in the throng of parents smiled. “And next… we have his old friend…. CROW HOGAN!” Yusei’s face was full of alert.
 * “What?”
 * “Ahem, I said, CROW HOGAN!”
 * “Oh.”
 * Duel.
 * Crow: Ore no tan. (Draws) All right, Yusei, old pal, I activate my spell card: Black Whirlwind, and my second spell card: Lucky Feather (Cont. Spell: Each time a BW monster is special summoned, place one feather counter on this card (Max: 3). Then, when this card as three feather counters on it, you can send I to the graveyard to draw three cards)! Next I summon BW-Shura, and with the effect my Whirlwind, I add BW-Bora to my hand. I special summon BW-Bora, and place a counter on Lucky Feather. I now special summon BW-Nightshroud the Wise Owl (Atk/100 Def/1500 lv 2 tuner winged beast dark: While you control a face up BW monster, you can special summon this card from your hand.) and another counter is placed on my feather card. I tune BW-Nightshroud to my BW-Bora to summon BW-Armed Wing in atk mode! That’s another counter on my cont. spell, so I pop it to draw three cards! I then special summon BW-Gale to tune with Shura, and synchro for Armor Master. I throw two facedowns. Tan endo.
 * Yusei: Ore no tan. (Draws) I discard my Quillbolt Hedgehog to special summon from my hand Quickdraw Synchron. Now I normal summon Junk Synchron to special summon the Quillbolt Hedgehog from my graveyard in def mode. I tune my Quillbolt and Junk Synchron together to summon Junk Warrior. Let’s rev it up!
 * Yunarus: See, my dad never says that stupid line when he synchro summons.
 * Yuzai: Yeah. I don’t like it too much either.
 * Yusei: And since I successfully synchro summoned, I can special summon my Starstike Excursion Ship from my hand. (Atk/100 Def/0 lv 3 wind fairy: When you successfully synchro summon, you can special summon this card from your hand. When this card is used for a synchro summon, all of the other synchro materials are treated as non-tuner monsters, and their effects are negated.) I now tune Quickdraw to the Ship and summon Stardust Dragon!
 * Yunarus: Hey slacker, I thought you had that card!
 * Yuzai: Dude, mine’s a copy.
 * Yunarus: WHAT?! Your dad let you do dupe it?!
 * Yuzai: Uh, yeah. So’s my Black Rose.
 * Yunarus: You’re bad…
 * Yusei: I’m not done. Since a tuner monster was level 5 or higher, and was used for a synchro summon, I can special summon Highlight Synchron. (Atk/1200 def/100 lv 2 tuner machine earth: When a level 5 or higher monster is used for the synchro summon of a monster, you can special summon this card from your hand. If this card is summoned this way successfully, you can tribute this card to special summon two tokens, each level two, and one of them is a tuner monster.) I now tune the two tokens to summon Formula Synchron. And now… Accel Synchro Shoukan! Shooting Star Dragon!
 * Crow: Very nice.
 * Yusei: I activate its ability, and reveal the top five cards of my deck. I revealed two tuner monsters, so my dragon can attack twice this turn. So I do! With Junk Warrior first, of course, to Blackwing Armed Wing.
 * Crow: Ha-ha! I play my trap! Blackhorn! (Trap: Activate only when your opponent declares an attak on a BW monster. Return one monster your opponent controls to the deck. Your opponent can then special summon two monsters from their extra deck. They cannot be used for a cosmic, xyz, ritual, fusion, or tribute summon, and their attack points are reduced to zero.) So I return your Shooting Star to the extra deck.
 * Yusei: That’s okay, because with the effect of that Blackhorn, I can special summon two monsters from my extra deck. So I summon One Dragon, (Atk/1000 def/1000 lv 9 synchro tuner, one tuner plus one non-tuner synchro monster, dragon wind: When this card is used for a synchro summon, reduce the levels of all other monsters on the field to 1. You can discard one card to prevent this card from being destroyed during the battle, once a turn.) And Draw Dragon def mode. (Atk/2200 def/3000 lv 8 synchro, one tuner plus one non-tuner monster, dragon wind: When this card is summoned, draw 2 cards. You cannot conduct your next draw phase if you activate this card’s effect. If this card would be destroyed, you can destroy one card in your spell or trap zone instead.) So I draw two cards, and Junk Warrior’s attack is stopped. Tan endo.
 * Crow: I draw! (Draws) I attack with BW Armor Master to your Junk Warrior.
 * Yusei: (LP: 3800)
 * Crow: I now attack with Armed Wing to Draw Dragon, and with its ability, its attack points go up by 500 and can inflict piercing battle damage.
 * Yusei: I play the effect of Draw Dragon, and send my Over Synchro Limit trap. (When this set card is destroyed, special summon one Synchro Dragon token (Atk/0 Def/0 Lv 8 dragon dark synchro) in atk mode to your side of the field.) Although I still take the damage from Armed Wing, I can summon my token. (LP: 1000)
 * Crow: I end with a face down.
 * Yusei: Ore no tan. (Draws) I summon Gale Dogra, and with its effect, I can send my Stardust Dragon to the graveyard. Next, I activate Monster Reborn to bring it back. I now play the effect of One Dragon, and reduce the levels of my other monsters to one. So, I tune One Dragon, Draw Dragon, Stardust Dragon, and my Synchro Dragon token to Delta Limit Accel Shinkuro Shoukan… Shooting Quasar Dragon! In attack mode!
 * Crow: Well, I activate my Solemn Consolation (Counter Trap: Activate only when your opponent summons a monster. Pay 2000 life points. Negate the effect of a monster on the field. Destroy it.) Trap card to negate your summon by paying 2000 of my life points. (LP: 2000)
 * Yusei: Oh. Ok, then I activate the effect of Shooting Quasar! I negate your trap…
 * Crow: You can’t do that.
 * Yusei: Why?
 * Crow: ‘Cuz My Solemn Consolation is a counter trap card, and your dragon’s effect is a monster ability. Counter traps are spell speed 3, and that monster effect is spell speed 2, therefore my Consolation resolves faster than your Dragon.
 * Yusei: Well, then, I just lost.
 * Crow: Yep. You did.
 * (Giant explosion)
 * Yunarus: See? See? My dad is a better duelist!
 * Yuzai: That was only ‘cuz of Consolation, and that dad was teching Starstrike Excursion Ship!
 * Hatenaki Sekai naraba kono Mune ni wa Akashi o
 * Yusei: That’s okay, because with the effect of that Blackhorn, I can special summon two monsters from my extra deck. So I summon One Dragon, (Atk/1000 def/1000 lv 9 synchro tuner, one tuner plus one non-tuner synchro monster, dragon wind: When this card is used for a synchro summon, reduce the levels of all other monsters on the field to 1. You can discard one card to prevent this card from being destroyed during the battle, once a turn.) And Draw Dragon def mode. (Atk/2200 def/3000 lv 8 synchro, one tuner plus one non-tuner monster, dragon wind: When this card is summoned, draw 2 cards. You cannot conduct your next draw phase if you activate this card’s effect. If this card would be destroyed, you can destroy one card in your spell or trap zone instead.) So I draw two cards, and Junk Warrior’s attack is stopped. Tan endo.
 * Crow: I draw! (Draws) I attack with BW Armor Master to your Junk Warrior.
 * Yusei: (LP: 3800)
 * Crow: I now attack with Armed Wing to Draw Dragon, and with its ability, its attack points go up by 500 and can inflict piercing battle damage.
 * Yusei: I play the effect of Draw Dragon, and send my Over Synchro Limit trap. (When this set card is destroyed, special summon one Synchro Dragon token (Atk/0 Def/0 Lv 8 dragon dark synchro) in atk mode to your side of the field.) Although I still take the damage from Armed Wing, I can summon my token. (LP: 1000)
 * Crow: I end with a face down.
 * Yusei: Ore no tan. (Draws) I summon Gale Dogra, and with its effect, I can send my Stardust Dragon to the graveyard. Next, I activate Monster Reborn to bring it back. I now play the effect of One Dragon, and reduce the levels of my other monsters to one. So, I tune One Dragon, Draw Dragon, Stardust Dragon, and my Synchro Dragon token to Delta Limit Accel Shinkuro Shoukan… Shooting Quasar Dragon! In attack mode!
 * Crow: Well, I activate my Solemn Consolation (Counter Trap: Activate only when your opponent summons a monster. Pay 2000 life points. Negate the effect of a monster on the field. Destroy it.) Trap card to negate your summon by paying 2000 of my life points. (LP: 2000)
 * Yusei: Oh. Ok, then I activate the effect of Shooting Quasar! I negate your trap…
 * Crow: You can’t do that.
 * Yusei: Why?
 * Crow: ‘Cuz My Solemn Consolation is a counter trap card, and your dragon’s effect is a monster ability. Counter traps are spell speed 3, and that monster effect is spell speed 2, therefore my Consolation resolves faster than your Dragon.
 * Yusei: Well, then, I just lost.

I’m just sayin’… I like broccoli and beans!” Aurora bent down, and scooped up some mud.
 * Mirai Iro zutto Bokura wa egaiteku
 * “Direct attack with Blackwing Armor Master!” Crow declared. Yusei: LP 0. The black and yellow haired man took the hit, cleaned his cards, and smiled. Both he and his oppenent stepped down from the stage. Yusei was about to say something, when the MC suddenly cut him off. “So, folks, how was the duel? Good, huh? So, here comes the second featured match! James Neelworm versus Katsuko Fudo!”
 * DUEL!
 * Yuzai yawned, and headed to his friends, who were also yawning in their chairs. “Hey,” he said.
 * “Wanna go back to the dorm? I’m getting…getting….getting… zoooozzz.” He collapsed.
 * Aurora rubbed her eyes.
 * “Hey, Suzaku, It’s your turn to carry him.”
 * “O…o…ok…” He picked up his friend, and tossed him over his shoulder. “Let’s go, before he starts mumbling about cookies and milk.” They all left, walking at least a mile back to their old, ramshackle, moldy gray building. No one took showers they were so tired. Yuzai mumbled in his bunk bed. “Zoooz… zooooz… of… of… of course, Aurora... ah… so… so dark…. Wish… wish… mom… and…. dad…. Were… here… that reminds me… of… that… time…”
 * Flashback
 * 4-year old Yuzai Fudo jumped in his bunk bed when a bolt of golden electricity arced across the sky. KRAKABOOOM!! “Eeep.” He climbed out of bed, and fell painfully to the floor from his bunk bed. “Ow. That hurt.” He whispered as he crawled across the ground and into a white hallway. He made it to his mom and dad’s room, and tugged his father’s black and yellow hair. “Psst. Dad. Dad.” He didn’t wake up, and just kept sleeping. Yuzai crawled to the other side of the bed, and tugged on his mother’s burgundy hair and whispered, “Mom? Mommy?” She woke up, rubbed her eyes, and yawned.
 * “What’s the matter, Katsuko?”
 * “Mom, this is Yuzai.”
 * “Hm? Oh, sorry honey. I thought you were your little sister.”
 * “That’s ok.”
 * “Why did you come?”
 * “Huh? Oh. It’s just the thunder. I got kind of scared, so could I…”
 * “Of course, dear!” Yuzai tried to scramble up the queen sized bed, but kept falling down. This repeated 4 times. The bumping and the ruffling woke the yellow and black haired man.
 * “Oog. What’s wrong Aki? Is there an earthquake or something?”
 * “Yuzai was just scared of the thunder, and wanted to sleep here a little bit.”
 * “Ok. But, why isn’t he here yet?” His son continuously scrambled on the sheets, hoping to get a better grip on the cloth. “Daddy?” He called quietly as he came over to Yusei’s side of the bed.
 * “Daddy?”
 * “Yeah son?”
 * “I need a boost.”
 * “Ok, here.” An arm scooped up the tiny, spiky, black and red haired child and plopped him in bed.
 * “Thanks, daddy.”
 * “You’re welcome.” Yuzai sneaked under the covers, and snuggled against a Stardust Dragon pillow. His mother kissed him on the forehead.
 * “Sweet dreams.”
 * “You too, mommy.” He closed his eyes, and would only wake up until 9 hours later.
 * End of Flashback
 * Yuzai awoke to hear his Holo-Seer (A device that lets you observe a duel somewhere else) say, “Oh, and what an explosive monster, folks! Katsuko Fudo has just summoned her ace monster: Rush Demon!” The black and red haired teen sat up, and picked up the rectangular contraption generating a sheet of photon paper. “Weird,” he said, watching the duel. “I must’ve turned it on when I was asleep.” The score was James, who had 3000 LP, and Katsuko with 3000 LP. As Yuzai observed the duel, his sister’s Rush Demon (Atk/2800 Def/100 lv 8 synchro fiend dark: When this card battles, you can discard one card and select one “Rush” monster in your graveyard and banish it. Then, increase this card’s atk by the atk of the banished monster until the end phase.) Attacked James’ Freya, Spirit of Victory. He activated Power Frame, which was quickly negated with a Dark Bribe.
 * James: (LP: 700) “Aaah!”
 * Katsuko: I end with two face down cards.
 * James: Ha-ha! That’s all? What a lousy end phase! I draw, and I’m the best!
 * (Draws) I summon my Mystical Shine Ball in attack mode! I next play a face downs and end my turn!
 * Katsuko: You’re one to talk. I draw! (Draws) I summon my Rush Cycler! In atk mode! (Atk/1600 def/200 lv 4 fiend dark tuner: When this card battles, you can discard one card to destroy one monster on the field, and decrease the atk of a face-up Rush monster on your side of the field by 500 points.) I now attack with Rush Cycler!
 * James: Ha-ha! I play the effect of my Honest in my hand! I now gain the atk of the monster my Shine ball is attacking, and…
 * Katsuko: I know what it does.
 * James: Ok, fine, but you still take… (Counts on fingers)
 * Katsuko: I play the effect of my Cycler and discard a card to destroy your monster.
 * James: Wait! You can’t do that!
 * Katsuko: Why not?
 * James: Because I’m too awesome!
 * Katsuko: Whatever. I attack for game.
 * James: (LP: 0) AAAAAH!!! No! My awesomeness!
 * Yuzai laughed out loud after Rush Demon threw a fireball at the opposing duelist. “LOL! LOL!” He chuckled. “That Jamesy couldn’t stand up to her! I knew it! I knew it!” His Holo-Seer blipped, and a document popped up with a grade on the upper left hand corner.
 * “Oh, good,” said Yuzai.
 * “My test scores are back. Let’s see…”
 * Aurora peeked from the bunk below him.
 * “I got an A. What did you get?”
 * “Im checking right now.”
 * Suzaku turned on the opposite bed.
 * “I see you got your test scores back.”
 * “Yeah!”
 * “I also an A too.”
 * “Huh, anyway, lets see… AAAAH! I got an…” The doorbell groaned.
 * “Coming!” Said the black and red haired teen. He opened the door, and yawned, rubbing his eyes. “Look,” he said. “If there’s some sort of school raffle, I don’t’ want any…” he stared as he looked up into the eyes of his father and mother in their Turbo Duel uniforms.
 * “WAH!” Yuzai jumped.
 * “Go... gomenasai, I thought you were a raffle vender…” Yusei smiled, and ruffled his son’s black and burgundy hair.
 * “We thought we might drop by to see how you and your friends are doing.”
 * “How did you get here? I thought you left after Katsuko’s duel!”
 * “We took our D-Wheels through the Speed World rails last minute.”
 * Suzaku rubed his eyes, and acknowledged the black and yellow haired man.
 * “Yawn. Konichiwa, uncle Yusei.” Yuzai’s mother stepped inside. “So,” she said, as she picked up a live, brown, squeaking mouse.
 * “This is your dorm?”
 * Aurora nodded.
 * “Yeah. Isn’t it terrible? So dirty… mice everywhere…”
 * “How unsanitary.” Aki noticed her son’s Holo-Seer.
 * “Are those your grades?” She asked, walking toward it. Yuzai ran over to the Seer, and scooped it up in his arms before his mother could take a look at it.
 * “Aha… Sorry, they, uh, didn’t, uh… grade it… um… yet? Aha?” Yusei grinned, and wrestled playfully with his son for the elctronic device, and easily overcame him. “Come on, come on!” He laughed. “Let’s see those grades!” He read the upper left hand corner, and simpered.
 * “I knew it.” He said, patting Yuzai on the back.
 * “A D.”
 * “Gomenasai, dad, I didn’t have enough time, I had to guess on some of the answers…”
 * Yusei bent down to put his hands on his son’s shoulders.
 * “Did you try your hardest?”
 * “Huh? Oh, of course I did.”
 * “Well, that’s all that I ask from you.”
 * “Oh. Ok.” Aki smiled.
 * “That’s right. It’s better than at the IIDK.” Her son quickly agreed.
 * “Yeah, one of the teachers at that institution gave me a Z-. That’s not a grade. That’s sarcasm.” Aurora giggled, and Yusei put his helmet on. “Well, we’ll be off.” He said, walking out the door.
 * “Oh, and Yuzai?”
 * “Yes?”
 * “Here.” He tossed two cards. Stardust Dragon and Shooting Star Dragon.
 * “B-but… these cards meant a lot to you… in your, ‘younger years’, I mean…”
 * “If you wish hard enough, you can win any match.”
 * “Like with shooting stars?”
 * “Yes. Also too, those cards helped me to win many duels, and it might help you to defeat your brother.”
 * “My brother… Argo?”
 * “Yes. I know how much you want to exceed him, and I want to see you endeavor at it.”
 * Yuzai smiled a full smile, and put the two high-level synchro monsters into his deck box.
 * “I’ll treat them well! Arigato!” His parents left, and took off on their D-Wheels.
 * Suzaku yawned, and lay on his side. “How heartwarming.” Yuzai climbed back into his bunk bed, and closed his eyes.
 * “That’s what’s so great about dad and mom,” he proclaimed, happily.
 * “They can understand anyone’s situation.”
 * CC
 * Crow: The end was awesome! You made Yusei and Aki look like nice bosses!
 * Aki: How short, and yet so sweet!
 * Yusei: …
 * Friend: Enough “Sweetness”! I like duels! Intensity! Sparks!
 * Big Brother: This was kinda brief.
 * Trudge: Er… um….
 * WHATTHEHECK67: I had writers block, so I decided to put a window into Yusei and Aki’s relationship with their kid(s). Unintentional, I’ll put a duel in the next chptr.

 * “FUDO.” Ukyo Sensei said plainly in a sleeping Yuzai’s face. “YOU ARE CURRENTLY MY LEAST FAVORITE STUDENT IN THIS ENTIRE SCHOOL. WAKE UP OR I’M GOING TO PUT YOU IN THE BELOWSKI DORM UNDER THE SEA.” The receiver of the threat instantly woke up, and shouted, “UKYO SENSEI! DO YOU KNOW WHERE ANY NEGATIVES ARE?!!!” The professor was taken aback, and took his pointer and whacked his student over the head.
 * “This is no time for hunting legendary cards!” He yelled.
 * “If you want to go Negative stalking, you have to pay attention to the lesson!”
 * He went back to the electronic white board.
 * “A student in Heartland is hunting those type of cards,” the brown-haired teacher said furiously as he wrote down an equation.
 * “His name was Yuma Tsukumo. Only he’s trying to obtain all 99 ‘number’ cards, not Negatives.” He paused in mid-formula.
 * “Of course, we must forget about those things,” he continued.
 * “His name was Yuma Tsukumo. Only he’s trying to obtain all 99 ‘number’ cards, not Negatives.” He paused in mid-formula.
 * “Of course, we must forget about those things,” he continued.
 * “I don’t know why, but I’m kinda intrigued by those Negatives.” Inquired Yuzai as he and his two friends walked through the academy woods.
 * “I wanna get all 99 of them, and uncover that ‘secret power’ Tamaki was talking about the other day!” Suzaku caught a moth by the wings, and let it go.
 * “Ok, but where are those additional 98 Negatives?”
 * “What do you mean ‘98’? I only have one!”
 * “Then what’s that ‘Negative 25: Poison’ in your Extra Deck slot?”
 * “Huh?”
 * “Go ahead, take a look.” Yuzai took out his extra deck, and held up the card Suzaku pointed out. It looked like a blob of purple fluid, enveloped in a green nucleus. The black and red haired teen was puzzled.
 * “Huh, I don’t remember having this card…”
 * “Was it from Seika?”
 * “What?”
 * “Seika. Maybe she had one, considering how creepy she acted.”
 * “Maaaybe…”
 * “Hey, you know how Tamaki said that if you don’t have mental vigilance, which you don’t have, the Negatives will take over your mind?”
 * “Yeah?”
 * “How come you aren’t possessed?”
 * “Uh… I eat broccoli?”
 * “I’m pretty sure spirits don’t eat.”
 * “Good point… well then… maybe they don’t like people who like beans!”
 * “Shut up.”
 * “Shut up.”
 * “Hey, look,” she said, holding up the clump of moisturized earth.
 * “There’s something in the mud…” Suzaku searched through the glop.
 * “Yuzai,” he called to his friend who was throwing rocks in the direction of a cliff. “There’s a Duel Monster card in the ground!” His friend immediately ran over to Suzaku, and took the card from his hand. “WOW!” He shouted, widening his eyes and gripping his hair. “THIS IS THE LEGENDARY STAR KNIGHT ALFREDOREDO! ALL OF MY DREAMS CAME TRUE! ALL OF MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!” He observed the moldy card, and pocketed it. Bending down in his hands and knees, and searched the ground, as if hounding for buried treasure. “Maybe there’s more.” Suzaku smirked.
 * “Greedy.”
 * “I’m not greedy… hey look! IT’S THE SPELL CARD SHARD OF GREED!”
 * “Greedy.”
 * “NOT greedy!”
 * “Greedy!”
 * “NOT GREEDY!”
 * “GREEDY!!”
 * “I AM SO NOT GREEDY!!!!” While the two friends punched and tackled each other, Aurora noticed a trail of cards leading towards the cliff. “Hey,” she said, turning to the direction of her comrades. “There’s a stream of cards leading to the area you were throwing rocks at, Yuzai.” The black and red haired teen whirled, and charged. “Ha-ha!” He yelled in happiness. “Ha-ha! More cards! More cards!” The Slifer Red youth picked up the pieces of cardboard one by one, and stuffed them into his pockets. Suzaku, who looked suspicious, warned his close friend. “Hey, don’t get too far. This may be a trap…” Yuzai yelped as he suddenly jumped in the air, and tossed a rock at something. That something was an old man, with long bedraggled white hair sitting crossed-legged on the cliff. He murmered as the rock made contact with his skull. “Guh… Stars…. Stars… Gazing… Must…. Have…. Numbers…” Yuzai scratched his head, and took out the cards he picked from the ground. “Hey,” he yelled, kicking the cards in the direction of the old man. “Are these yours?” The other person turned with wild, glazed eyes. “Do you have a Number?” Suzaku widened his eyes to the random question. “Waddy’a mean, ‘Number’?” The man paid no attention, and turned back to the cliff, staring into the distance, holding a red Xyz monster in his hands. “Love it…. Gazing… precious…. yay….” Yuzai peered over the geezer’s shoulder. “Hey… is that a Negative?” He asked suspiciously. The person whirled, and slapped Yuzai in the face, growling like a hungry animal. “IT’S MINE,” the creepy guy said with a tone of aggressiveness. “IT’S MY PRECIOUS.” Suzaku chuckled as if someone just told a funny joke. “Somebody’s been watchin’ too much ‘Lord of the Rings’.” He joked playfully. “So what are you pretending to be? Gollum, right?” The old man scowled, and turned away, hiding the Xyz monster as if it were something of extreme value.
 * “NO! I want NUMBERS to feed my precious!”
 * “This guy’s doin’ a pretty bad imitation.” Yuzai snapped his fingers. “I get it!” He cried, priming his duel disk. “He’s a Negative hunter too! Hey, old geezer, wanna duel me?!” The “old geezer” pocketed his Xyz monster, and collected the moldy cards Yuzai dropped. “DUEL!” He exclaimed, dumbly. His arm automatically morphed, and an organic duel disk popped out. Aurora looked disgusted. “Yuck! Hey, Yuzai, I think this guy’s possessed!” Her friend nodded.
 * DUEL!
 * Yuzai: I go first! (Draws) I summon Cosmos Linker, and summon with its effect, Fox Fire! I now star them together! The Earth and the stars mate and combine to produce a new power! Kill all others, kill my enemies, just spare me, and appear, Star Rose Dragon! (It appears) Next, I play a face down. Tan endo.

 * Old man: ok… ok…
 * Yuzai: Um, good, so I, um… summon The Fabled Cerruberell from my grave with its effect and tune it to my Brionac to synchro summon Stardust Dragon! I now attack with my two dragons!

 * Yuzai: Huh? Oh, yeah, huh…

 * Aurora: Something’s up…
 * Old man: Heheh… I play the effect of Negative 16! By detaching one Xyz material from it, I can negate the effect of one monster on the field and destroy it! (Laughs madly)
 * Yuzai: Er… ok… but your effect will only work when I use the effect of my monsters…
 * Old man: But take a look at this! Nya ha ha! (Negative 16: Star Gazer

 * Three Level 4 Monsters
 * “You can detach one Xyz material from this card; negate the effect of one monster on the field: Destroy it.)

 * Yuzai: Who cares? I’ll just kill you next turn… Oh. That’s right.

 * Yuzai: NOT POINTLESS!
 * Everyone else: HUH?!!!!!!????
 * Yuzai: I activate the effect of my Dragon! So, by banishing my DANDYLION from the card graveyard, I can reduce the atk of a monster you control to zero.
 * Old man: Um… ok…

 * Aurora: Yay!

 * “No!”
 * “I’m hungry!”
 * “There’s beef jerkey in the snack drawer, now let go!”
 * “MY JELLY BEAN!”
 * “NO, MINE…” Aurora was sick and tired of their two-hour argument. “If you two won’t agree on who’s bean it is, then you’re gonna have to duel each other for that stupid gelatinus cell!” Suzaku and Yuzai thought about that for a moment, and came up with their own conclusion. “Hey, why don’t we cut the bean in half?” suggested the Kyosuke youth, who was already reaching for the candy. Yuzai quickly pulled away, keeping the Jelly Belly from his friend. “Ok, but no grabbing.” they took a knife, and split it cleanly in two. In exactly two seconds, both teens were shooting accusations at eachother.
 * “Hey, your bean half is bigger than mine!”
 * “No, you’re mistaken, ‘cuz yours is bigger than mine!”
 * “Hey, obviously you’re the mistaken!”
 * “YOU’RE MISTAKEN… ooh, my phone.” Yuzai ended the feud by placing his half on the counter, which was devoured by Suzaku.
 * “Hello? Oh, hey, Argo! What? You got a duel for me?! Sweet! I’ll be there!” there was a click. “So,” said Yuzai, packing his duel disk. “Argo says that there’s this guy at the blue dorm that says he wants to duel!”
 * “Arrrgooo! Arrrrgoooo! Gosh, where’s that ball of muscle when you need directions, Arrrrgoooooo!”
 * “Shut up, Yuzai. You’ve been yelling for over an hour, and that duelist or your brother hasn’t shown up.” Suzaku whined at his black and red haired friend.
 * “Who cares… Arrrgooo!”
 * “Sigh.”
 * “Gyah!” Argo stepped out from a corner of a nearby tree.
 * “You got my call, I assume?” Yuzai nodded, and walked over to him.
 * “Yeah. So. Where’s my game?”
 * “He’s… well… how should I put it… er… crying in the bathroom.”
 * “Uh… why?”
 * “Because…”
 * “I knew it! You dueled him, huh?”
 * “That’s not…”
 * “Yeah, that’s it! You dueled him, and now he’s feeling like he’s left in the dust forever, huh?”
 * “Yuzai…”
 * “Crushed I say! Annhiliated! Destroyed! Demoralized! You are the cause of all depression in the dueling world, you big brute!” Argo seized his brother by the collar and threw him into lake nearby. “Look,” he said, dusting his hands off. “He’s sad ‘cuz he got word that his father died yesterday.” Yuzai was silent.
 * “And he was…?”
 * “Chazz Princeton of Princeton Corporations.”
 * “Well, that’s unchill.”
 * “Heck, yeah it’s unchill.”
 * “So, why don’t you go inside and cheer him up with a duel?”
 * “Heck, yeah it’s unchill.”
 * “So, why don’t you go inside and cheer him up with a duel?”
 * “So, why don’t you go inside and cheer him up with a duel?”
 * “Well…”
 * “That’s what I thought. By the way, d’you think we could hang out at your late welcome dinner?”
 * “I know. But still, the blue dorm has sooooo much better food.”
 * “Well… ok, but you’ll have to take these.” Argo handed his brother and his friends three Obelisk Blue uniforms. “You may wanna smooth out your hair Yuzai.” The red haired teen said, cracking his knuckles.
 * “Everyone’ll know who you are.”
 * “What?! But I love this style!”
 * “You want to go to the dinner, right?”
 * “Er… yes. Ok. I’ll do it.”
 * “Good. I was afraid I would have to pound you.”
 * “Uh, yeah, no pounding please!”
 * “GET OUT!” Yelled an angry Dr. Vulgan Von Yeager, head teacher of the blue dorm. “GET OUT, YOU OVER EATING BRUTE!” He quickly tossed Yuzai out the door, into the rectangular lake outside. “Ow!” The black and red haired teen got up, and tried to get back inside the blue castle. The door slammed in his face. “ WELL THEN, BE THAT WAY! Hmf.” He pouted, heading towards a grassy field. “You’d think they’d have better manners.” Yuzai threw his Obelisk Blue regalia into the water. “This uniform is too hot.” He said, wrestling with his badge. It flew off, hitting something on the head. BONK! The Fudo teenager gulped. It hit Prof. Alexis Rhodes, head teacher of the Blue dorm. Yuzai ran over to her, who had frowned at the piece of metal. “Gomenasai!” He apologized. “I was trying to get that off of my uniform, when it…” The female teacher smiled. “That’s okay. Happens all the time.” She noticed the student’s red uniform that had been revealed.
 * “But, why are you in red?”
 * “Um… er… eheh… uh… I… snuck in.” Prof. Rhodes crossed her arms.
 * “You know that’s against the school policy.”
 * “You know that’s against the school policy.”
 * She brightened.
 * “Don’t worry. I won’t tell on you.”
 * “Yuki, who?”
 * “Oh…” her eyes looked slightly glazed, and uninterested.
 * “Um… Prof. Rhodes? Hello? Prof. Rhodes? Hey, earth to Rhodes. You in there?”
 * “Huh…? Oh, yes, sorry.” She left muttering to herself. “Zane, why did you leave? Where are you? Where’s Judai? Chazz is dead, but where’s everyone else? Hassleberry, Jesse, Axel, Jim, Syrus, Adrian, Chancellor Shepard. They’re gone.” Yuzai shrugged as she walked away. “Must be friends with ‘em or something.” He headed back to the dorm, when he saw a solemn boy of about 13 sitting by the red dorm. His blue uniform was ragged, soiled to the limit. His hair wasn’t much different. Brown as dirt, shaggy as a grizzled buffalo, and really, really, spiky. As Yuzai approached, the kid sighed. “How did you die, dad? If you’re dead, than who’s going to comfort me?” The Fudo teen sat beside him, and offered to shake hands.
 * “Hey! What’s up? My name’s Fudo, Yuzai. What’s yours?” The mumbling thirteen-year old pushed his hand away.
 * “My name’s Jar, and I’m not in the mood for pleasantries.”
 * “What? C’mon. Someone’s not very cheery.”
 * “No.”
 * “Why not? Every moment’s a happy one.”
 * “Not for me.”
 * “Wait, are you talking ‘bout…. Oh. Chazz Princeton?”
 * “Oh. I’m SRY.”
 * “That’s okay.” The blue student looked at the moon.
 * “I just wish he was still here.”
 * “I’ll bet.”
 * “Yeah.” Jar opened a card locket attached to a piece of string around his neck to reveal a smiling Mr. Princeton and his son, laughing and dueling. “In times like these, he was really good at comforting.” Yuzai nodded. “I can reflect in the topic of fathers. My dad’s pretty reassuring too.”
 * Flashback
 * “Yuzai? Yuzai, where are you?” Hollered Yusei Fudo as he climbed the stairs of his house, through the commotion of his eleven-person household. He tripped on a pile of boxes full of plates and other necessities. “Yuzai, I know it’s hard to leave the city, but it’s going to be a lot nicer in the New Domino Suburbs.” Yusei opened the door to his children’s room, and saw his black and red haired son sitting on his bed, packing his clothes, IPod, and 20 Questions game into a backpack that looked like it was about to pop with objects. Yuzai sniffed. “What is it daddy? Did you come to tell me that it’s time to leave?” The black and yellow haired man sat down with his son. “No, we leave tomorrow.” He leaned back, causing the bunk bed to creak a bit. “What makes you not want to leave this place?” He asked. His son sniffed again. “Because I lived here for six whole years. It feels like home. Plus too, I like the words ‘Poppo Time’.” The black and red haired kid turned to his father.
 * “Why aren’t you sad we’re moving?”
 * “Well, what reasons do I have?”
 * “Well, this place was where you and uncle Crow and uncle Jack and mommy parked your D-Wheels, and this place was where you and mom had your first romantic moment.”
 * “I tell you too much.” Smiled Yusei.
 * “But although it may seem sad to move from here, it’ll be for the better there in the suburbs.” Yuzai sniffed, and looked at his father.
 * '''“Really?”
 * “But although it may seem sad to move from here, it’ll be for the better there in the suburbs.” Yuzai sniffed, and looked at his father.
 * '''“Really?”
 * “Well… ok. But I have a question.”
 * “What is it, son?”
 * '''“Will uncle Crow and uncle Jack and obaachan and ojiichan be there?”
 * “What about school? Do I still have to go to school?”
 * “Well, yes. You’ll have still have to go to school.”
 * “Aww.”
 * Flashback Ends
 * Yuzai chuckled after his memory. “I really didn’t wanna go to the suburbs.” He said, yawning. “Ha-ha! But after I left, it felt goooood.” Jar observed oddly. The black and red haired teenager cocked his head.
 * “What up?”
 * “It’s just you’re so… odd.”
 * “Waddy’a mean, odd?!”
 * “I mean, your dad is Yusei Fudo, right?”
 * “It’s just you’re so… odd.”
 * “Waddy’a mean, odd?!”
 * “I mean, your dad is Yusei Fudo, right?”
 * “And your mom is Aki Fudo, right?”
 * “’Cuz I’m not so solemn and sad! That type of person never goes a long way, for me.” Yuzai turned on his IPod to ‘Atarashii Asa’. “Don’t wanna linger too long on the present.” The Fudo teen said, playfully, flew back to his dorm. “Otherwise, you’ll miss the last train of life.” As Yuzai headed to the rundown dormitory, he began to sing quietly.

 * He switched to the English version.
 * Today's the day to carry out a plan. I'll finally escape from my saturated life today
 * I don't know what is going on today
 * But somehow I feel that my answer isn't here
 * Though I don't know how my life will end, I never wanna be a slave 'Cause there is always the chance to change I guess it's up to you
 * I'm trying to be a better person I will get on the train I don't wanna become a slave I will live for myself I'm trying to be another me 'Cause I won't lose my life My life will succeed I'll reach my goal
 * I try to smile but I can't remember how I don't know please tell me, how'd I become so Jaded?
 * Sometimes I feel like I might be dead soon But I know that it gave me something to believe
 * Though I don't know how my life will end I never wanna be a slave 'Cause there is always the chance to change I guess it's up to you
 * I'm trying to be a better person I will get on the train I don't wanna become a slave I will live for myself I'm trying to be another me 'Cause I won't lose my life My life will succeed I'll reach my goal
 * I'm waiting for my dawn I'm dreaming of freedom Nobody Knows my worries No need to understand me I wanna get this small freedom I break away my worries
 * It's time to say goodbye I'm not afraid of you I need to walk away 'Cause I don't wanna be a liar If I cannot live my life, I am as good as dead
 * I'm trying to be a better person I will get on the train I don't wanna become a slave I will live for myself I'm trying to be another me 'Cause I won't lose my life My life will succeed I'll reach my goal
 * My new story My life is just about to start
 * I'm trying to be a better person I will get on the train I don't wanna become a slave I will live for myself I'm trying to be another me 'Cause I won't lose my life My life will succeed I'll reach my goal
 * Yuzai snickered, and turned his IPod off as he entered the dirty dorm. “I like that song, but,” he climbed on his bed. “I absolutely do NOT agree with the ‘live for myself’ parts.”

 * “Ooh, look, he has the ball, go to this side of the court! Oops, looky, now HE has the ball, so go to the other side… Crap, the other person has it now. Oh well, repeat the routine…”
 * “Ok, ok! Guard Truesdale… guard Truesdale… oops, now he’s guarding me…” Yuzai tried to sidestep the blue haired Zexel Truesdale, but he just walked back in place. This repeated several times, until Yuzai had to run ALL the way back to the other side if the court since the coach said so. Two hours later, Yuzai stepped out of the gym to be tackled by a human with a chicken head. “OMG! OMG! OMG! A BUNCH OF PEOPLES ARE CHASING ME! PLEASE HIDE ME!” The black and red haired teenager stared in shock.
 * “Why did you do that?”
 * A momentary tone rang through the air.
 * “I summon set one monster in defense mode!” The Fudo teen looked up, looking around desperately for the source of the noise. “That sounded like Suzaku! Maybe he’s dueling! Maybe he’s winning….” The teenager and his female friend ran over to a clearing with Suzaku with his sword-like duel disk, facing… Jar. Jar wasn’t acting normal. His eyes were a deep violet color, with his solemn face twisted into a malicious grin. A dark aura surrounded him, along with his monster card: Negative 83: Galaxy King. The crazy looking boy pointed his finger at his opponent. “I direct attack with my King! Wormhole Tactics!” Takyua LP: 0. The white haired teenager yelled, and was flung to the ground. “D-dang it!” he exclaimed, trying to get up. Jar cackled evilly. “Mwa-ha ha! The Chazz always wins!” Yuzai primed his duel disk.
 * “Judgin’ on how that ’83’ on your hand glows, I bet you’re possessed by a Negative.”
 * “The Chazz is!”
 * “The Chazz accepts!”
 * “Let’s Duel!”
 * (D-Vizors light up)
 * “Let’s Duel!”
 * (D-Vizors light up)
 * (D-Vizors light up)

Jar: The Chazz goes first! Ore no tan! (Draws) I summon Armed Dragon LV 3! In atk mode! Next, I set two cards face down. Tan endo, punk.
 * Yuzai: I ain’t no punk, Jar! Ore no tan! (Draws) I summon Cosmos Linker, then, with its effect, I special summon my Neo-Descendant (Lv 4 Atk/1600 Def/1000 light warrior: When this card is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, select one level two or lower monster in your deck and special summon to your side of the field in def position. It’s effect(s) are negated). Now I star them together! Cosmic Shoukan! Let the Earth and the stars mate and spawn an engine of unpredictability! Come forth! come breathing! And most importantly… come and kill my enemies, Star Rose Dragon!
 * Jar: Hmf.
 * Yuzai: If you liked that, you’re gonna love this! I enter my battle phase! Attack, Star Rose! Midnight Hailstorm!
 * Jar: LP: 2800, That’s ok! ‘cuz I activate the trap card: Call of the Haunted! This card brings back my Armed Dragon LV 3 to my field in atk mode.
 * Yuzai: Fine by me. I’ll throw down two face downs. Tan endo.
 * Jar: Ore no tan! (Draws) Now, since it’s the standby phase, my dragon’s level increases! Rank up to Armed Dragon LV 5!
 * Yuzai: Well, I play the effect of my Star Rose… oh, crap!
 * Aurora: (Shakes fist angrily) Yuzai! The effect of Star Rose Dragon won’t work if you don’t have three cards in your graveyard! Gosh, I thought you knew your own effects.
 * Yuzai: Ok! Ok! Sorry!
 * Jar: Pay attention to the duel, punk! I next activate my other trap: D-Boyz In Da House! (Trap: Play only when you special summon a level 5 or higher monster. Special Summon one D-Boyz or ZD-Boyz from your deck in facedown def postion.) I now special summon a ZD-Boyz from my deck facedown. I now play the spell: Level Up! This card let’s me tribute my LV 5 to summon a LV monster from my deck with a level higher! So, say hello to Armed Dragon LV 7!!
 * Yuzai: Woo hoo. I’m gonna get my butt kicked.

 * Yuzai: Ore no tan! (Draws) I summon my Chrome Rider! (Atk/1800 def/0 fiend, dark, lv 4: When this card attacks, select one monster in your graveyard. Special Summon it in def mode, destroy this card, and end the battle phase.) Next, I play the spell D2 Summon! (Spell card: Target one monster you control. Special Summon one monster from your deck with a level equal to half of the level of the target monster.) I target my Chrome Rider, and summon from my deck Tag Tagger! (Atk/800 def/200 warrior earth lv2: When this card is used for a summon of a special treatment monster with (only) one other monster, send the top three cards of your deck to the graveyard. Then, select one monster on the field with 1500 atk or less. Its atk points become 0 until the end phase.) Next, I star them together! Arise, Tag Force Dragon! (Atk/2600 def/1900 dragon wind lv 8 cosmic monster, one non-warrior lv 4 monster X one lv 2 monster: Once per turn, you can banish up to two cards in your graveyard. Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent for each card removed. Once per turn, when a monster on the field is destroyed, you can pay 3000 life points to special summon it.) I now play its effect, and banish Chrome Rider and Tag Tagger to inflict 2000 damage!
 * Jar: Ugh. (LP: 800) I play the trap: Level Tune UP!! (Trap: Activate only when you take effect damage. Tribute one LV monster you control. Special summon one monter from your hand with a level higher than that monster, ignoring the summon conditions.) This card lets me level up my Armed Dragon LV 7 on your turn! Upgrade! Armed Dragon LV 10!
 * Yuzai: L-level 10?!
 * Jar: Yeah, and its packing 3000 atk points!
 * Aurora: Oh, no! Tag Force Dragon doesn’t have enough atk points to beat that Armed Dragon! On top of that, Yuzai has no cards in his hand! Jar baited him out!
 * Jar: Mwa-ha ha! You can’t win against the Chazz!
 * Yuzai: Darn… well, I can afford a little life point damage. Tan endo.
 * Jar: Ha-ha! I… DRAW! (Light, mellow, female voice: That’s it, Jar, let the Negative take hold…)
 * Jar: (83 glows on hand) I flip summon my ZD-Boyz!
 * Yuzai: Ooh! Hipstahs!
 * Suzaku: (Shakes head)
 * Jar: I now activate ZD-Boyz’s effect! When flip summoned, I can special summon another Boyz from my deck! Say hello to my second ZD-Boyz!

 * Jar: ‘Cuz the Chazz can know play this card! D-BOMB! (Quick-Play spell: Activate only when a ZD-Boyz is summoned to the field. Special summon one level one monster from your deck.) This card lets me summon a level one monster from my deck! I summon my third ZD-Boyz!

Reduce the attack target’s atk by 500x the number of cards banished by this effect. Once per turn, when a monster your opponent controls battles, you can banish up to 3 monsters in your graveyard to reduce the attacking monster’s atk by 500x the number of cards banished by this effect.)
 * Yuzai: No… no cards in hand… no facedowns… a Negative… this is bad…
 * Jar: I’ll say it’s bad! I play the effect of Armed Dragon LV 10! I discard one card (Which happens to be the last one) To destroy all monsters you control!
 * Yuzai: Aw, that’s such a broken card!
 * (All shatter)
 * Jar: Ha-ha! I attack with my monsters! Armed Burst, and Galactic Volley!
 * Yuzai: AGH! (LP: 100)
 * Aurora: Oh, no! One more attack, and he’s through!
 * Jar: Ok, tan endo.
 * Yuzai: Ore no tan! (Draws) I summon Life Elephant! (Atk/1400 def/2000 lv 4 beast earth: When this card is normal summoned, increase your life points by 1000 points.

 * Yuzai: By broccoli beef, you’re stupid! With the effect of Life Elephant, card effects can’t destroy it!
 * Jar: Hmf. Well, I attack with Armed Dragon.
 * Yuzai: Yep. You’re stupid. Once a turn, my monster can’t be destroyed by battle.
 * Jar: Darn it! Well, tan endo.
 * Yuzai: That’s right! I draw… THE WINNIN’ CARD!!! Ore no tan! (Draws, and smirks) Heh… Jar, you’re in for a beatin’.
 * Jar: Why do you say that, slacker?
 * Yuzai: I’m gonna win that Negative!! Monster Shoukan! Level Converter! (Atk/1600 def/0 lv 1 machine dark: When this card is summoned, double the level of a monster on the field. You can banish this card from your graveyard to allow one of your monsters gain an additional attack.) With its effect, I double my Life Elephant’s level! Then…
 * Jar: What’s the point of that?
 * Aurora: Yeah, what is the point of that?
 * Suzaku: I agree!
 * Yuzai: Ahem. You twits, that’s what the “then” is for!
 * Suzaku: Ah, ok.
 * Yuzai: As I was saying… A new light envelops destiny. Evolution shines forth, and kills all! THEN I Cosmic Shoukan… NEO-EYES BUTTERFLY DRAGOON!!!

Besides, one of those Negative holders may be a better duelist than you.” “Well, it says here that if there are seven narwhals in the Arctic and three Cro-Magnon people eat two other Narwhals of the same group, how many Flyfang are there?!” “Nah. Argo said that ‘X’ is unacceptable.” “Ok, first of all, the narwhals can’t eat other narwhals because that is called ‘cannibalism’. Second, Cro-Magnons probably can’t swim through Polar water since it’s hundreds of degrees below zero, and third, Flyfang are not real!” “YOU BETCHA! OK, SO ANSWER TO NUMBER 152 IS: 0!” “Y’know. Christmas.” Yuzai yelled in desperation. “Huh?” “The Christmas dance. It’s on Christmas eve.” “That’s it.” “Why not?” “Well, it’s only one more week ‘til the Christmas shindig. I can push it off.” “Remember what your big brother said?” “Bah, humbug. That’s all rubbish.” “Who cares?” “Uh, I don’t know. I was sleeping.” “You’re the laughing stock of this whole school…” Ukyo stepped down from the stairwell, and re-activated his D-Pad. Nearly everyone in the room either suppressed a laugh, or sniggered at Yuzai’s own impertinence. The Duel Academy professor returned to the lesson. “Anyway, you don’t want to call Priority when your opponent activates Torrential Tribute because that would be a complete waste, most of the time…” Yuzai’s eyelids began to droop. “I can’t stand the boring part of this Academy,” he though, preparing to stretch. “It’s so repetitious… so boring… so unnecessary…” he unleashed a large yawn above his head directly in… Yunarus’ scowling face. The orange haired teenager looked in Yuzai’s shocked countenance and leaned further in his seat to sneak a good message in the black and red haired youth’s ear. “No, it’s a shock blaster.” “So, you’re in the Undercover Security team too?” “Do me a favor, will ya?” Yunarus raised his eyebrows and put away his shock blaster. “If you meet Argo at the ball or during your briefing hours…” “I said…”
 * Yuzai: OH, YEAH! CHAZZ IT UP! CHAZZ IT UP! CHAZZ IT UP!

 * “So, yeah. Summon Shi En, summon Kizan, summon Enishi, pop United for 2, remove counters, summon Kizan, take off counters again, summon Kizan, overlay for…” Argo Fudo was dueling his little brother when Yuzai rolled his eyes.
 * “Yeah, yeah, I’m dead.”
 * “Yeah. You have zero life.”
 * “Yeah. You have zero life.”
 * “Ok.”
 * Ukyo Sensei cheered along with the rest of the students. “You see, pupils? That is how it’s done! Argo Fudo has hit it on the spot! Now, class dismissed!” All left. Yuzai sighed in sadness as he walked back to his dorm with his friends. “I feel like I can NEVER, EVER beat Argo. I don’t see what’s wrong with my deck! I’ve got negation, draw power, swarming techniques, and burn!” Suzaku put his hands in his pockets.
 * “Well, I noticed that burn isn’t that useful against his kind of deck. Maybe you should try an arcetype…?”
 * “No way! This type of deck is perfect for me. No loops, no cheap strategies, no Staples…”
 * “That doesn’t make any sense. I checked your deck and it has at least five different loops in it…”
 * Yuzai scowled, and pulled out a cup ramen packet.
 * “I know what I need.”
 * Aurora chimed in the conversation.
 * “What?”
 * “I need that secret card that appears after you collect all of the Negatives. Then I’ll be able to beat Argo.”
 * “That’ll take a long time, collecting all 99 of them.”
 * “Who cares? I’ll do whatever it takes to beat that ball of muscle.”
 * Aurora shrugged.
 * “I dunno. Tamaki said that most of ‘em are, like, in America or in the mid-west. You’ll have to travel a lot. Plus you’re in school to make card hunting difficult.”
 * “There’s summer vacation!”
 * The black and red haired teenager scoffed, closed his eyes, raised his head, and started to swing his arms widely like a pendulum.
 * “I don’t care about that either. As long as I have Star Rose Dragon, I’m invincible.”
 * “You seem pretty sure about that.”
 * “And I AM.”
 * Aurora coughed in her hand.
 * “Well, class is done for today. So get your Negative hunting instincts crackin’. But first, some homework.”
 * Back at the Slifer dorm, Yuzai banged his head on a wood table, digging his pencil into it. “DARN! DARN! DARN! DARN! I CAN’T FIGURE OUT THIS PROBLEM!!!” Suzaku took notice, and shuffled his deck.
 * “What IS the problem?”
 * “What IS the problem?”
 * “That’s… a problem.”
 * “You bet.”
 * “Just write X.”
 * “What do you write, then?”
 * Yuzai lit up all of a sudden and started scribbling on his homework.
 * “I HAVE IT!”
 * “What?”
 * Aurora rolled her eyes, twirling a lock of her hair around her index finger.
 * “I guess that works…”
 * “Uh…”
 * At that moment, Tamaki walked in the poorly lit dorm, and waved a small flyer. “Hey, guess what?”
 * The Atlas teenager probed the black haired sixteen-year old.
 * “(Well, you’re abrupt) What?”
 * “Christmas is comin’ up. I did my shopping already.”
 * “What?”
 * Yuzai shouted out loud.
 * “CHRISTMAS?!!!”
 * Tamaki shrugged, and closed the door.
 * “Yeah, of course it is.”
 * “YA COULD’VE TOLD ME EARLIER!”
 * “You were in detention. Besides, shouldn’t you know what days the holidays are on…?”
 * “HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS? DO I LOOK LIKE A CALENDAR TO YOU?!”
 * “Uh… no, but you should know.”
 * “IT’S CHRISTMAS! OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OMG! OMG!”
 * The black and red haired teenager shook like mad, and chattered as he nervously nibbled his fingernails.
 * “And when Christmas comes… something else isn’t that far behind…”
 * “The Christmas dance?”
 * Yuzai put his face in his hands.
 * “What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? We’re on break but I haven’t done my shopping yet, I’m a horrible dancer, and,”
 * He turned, to Suzaku, eyes bulging out of his head.
 * “I HATE DANCES.”
 * “I can see that.”
 * “WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!!!”
 * “That’s easy. You go asking people ‘what do you want for Christmas’, go shopping, learn to dance, and go to the ball. Simple.”
 * “Easier said than done, Saber Jockey!”
 * “You just don’t want to go through the trouble of doing work.”
 * “It’s not that…”
 * “Well what then?”
 * Yuzai gulped. “Well, it’s just that… um…”
 * At this, the door banged open, and Argo, clad in his usual combat boots and school uniform, stood in the doorway. The only alteration between his typical attire and his present outfit, was a long ornamental holster, nested in which was a snub-barreled energy pistol, fitted with matt black finishings. Everyone stared. Yuzai immediately took advantage of his big brother’s abrupt entrance and changed the subject. “So, Argo, what’s with the gun? I thought students aren’t allowed firearms or any other weapon.” Argo stroked the weapon’s handle fondly. “Ordinarily yes. But I’m part of the undercover security team for this year’s ball, so Professor Rhodes gave me permission. This holster is only for show right now though. I’ll be wearing this baby in a holster inside my coat.” Suzaku looked warily at the holster. “So you’ll be dancing with a pistol in your jacket? What if it goes off and you shoot your date by accident?”
 * “The thing has a safety catch, y’know.”
 * “I know, but I’m just saying…”
 * “Calm down. I reckon I can remember to switch the safety on before going to the dance floor. And speaking of which-” Argo rounded on his younger brother. “Have you got a partner yet?” Yuzai gulped again. Argo had an unsettling habit of knowing exactly what you were trying to avoid, and bring the subject into the spotlight. The younger Fudo began stuttering. “Um, well, e-heh, um, you see, erm, uh…” Argo rolled his eyes. “Well, you had better hurry! Not every young gal out there will wait for you! By the time lunch rolls around on Christmas eve, you will have a partner. Wagata?” Yuzai frowned. He hated it when his brother went militaristic. “Fine fine. Whatever. Anyway, why are you harping on me? Have you even gotten a partner yet?” Argo spun around, tossing his last words over his shoulder as he slammed the door. “Of course. I asked Kristya the day I found out. Which, by the way, was before it was posted on the academy website. I wouldn’t want anyone else taking Kristya as their partner would I?” Yuzai turned back to his math homework, muttering darkly, “Yeah, and heaven help anyone who would attempt such a foolish venture as that… they would get a sock in the stomach…”
 * “Well, aren’t you gonna ask?” Suzaku queried his black and red haired friend as they walked to Strategy Class through the yellow hallway full of laughing students as they read the news boards announcing the ball. Yuzai scoffed.
 * “Heck, no.”
 * “Heck, no.”
 * Suzaku rolled his eyes.
 * “You’ll regret not asking now.”
 * “Why?”
 * “I don’t think it is.”
 * “I bet you’ll care.”
 * “Nah.” The two duelists entered the classroom and sat down together next to Aurora. Ukyo Sensei had already started lecturing about Priority and Card Errata. “An example of Priority is this: Let’s say I Special Summon my Judgment Dragon when I have four Lightsworn monsters in my graveyard, and you activate the Trap Card Bottomless Trap Hole (Fudo, don’t fall asleep in this class again or you’ll get extra detention). I can call Priority, activate the effect of Judgment Dragon, pay its cost, and destroy all other cards on the field. Priority starts a chain, so you can play Divine Wrath if you want, and-“ Ukyo climbed the stairs to Yuzai’s seat, and socked his sleeping black and red haired student in the stomach, making him wake up instantly. Yuzai looked around in shock as he fell backwards, and hit his head on the cold steel floor.
 * “AAAUGH! WHAT THE HECK, PROF?!”
 * “What did I say about sleeping in class?!”
 * “BEFORE I EVEN SAID THE EXAMPLE OF JUDGMENT DRAGON?”
 * “I think so.”
 * The Professor smacked his head in frustration.
 * “Fudo, sometimes I think you’re hopeless.”
 * “Maybe I am!”
 * “Hey, Slifer slacker, y’ever heard of mouthwash?”
 * “Get your mouth out of my ear, you Obelisk orc.”
 * Yunarus took offense, and sneakily drew a brown, sleek, shiny shock gun barrel to Yuzai’s neck.
 * “I ‘aint no ‘orc’, snooty.”
 * “Is that a real gun?”
 * “Yeah.”
 * “Depends on what it is.”
 * Yuzai turned around and smirked at the older teenager. “Kick his butt for me in a duel, ok?” Yunarus holstered his gun, and smirked back.
 * “Sure. I always wanted to get that guy. You have a grudge on him, or something?”
 * “Nah. I just wanna see how strong you are. Then I can evaluate if I should get my game on or not. After all,” he turned back as Ukyo Sensei started to talk about the psychological side of dueling.
 * “You might not be worth it.”
 * “What did you say, slacker?”
 * Ukyo raised a shock blaster and fired a luminescent, sparking, blue energy bolt at Yuzai’s direction. It hit its target, and made the Fudo teenager spasm and stutter uncontrollably on the ground, blue sparks dancing around his black and red jacket. “Fudo,” he said, flipping his weapon in the air professionally and holstering it. Yuzai grinned stupidly on the ground as Aurora came into the scene, trying to help her friend in any way. Ukyo grinned, and put away his D-Pad as the dismissal bell rang.
 * “That’s enough chatter for you.”
 * “Ugh…”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">His coffee was getting cold. Argo, in his black and dark blue Obelisk uniform and hiker jeans, folded his arms as he rested his legs on a large obsidian table, looking at a red and white target on the wall he had set up himself. Calmly, he drew his shock pistol to eye level, aimed, and fired. The wall target shattered, causing it to blow into a million pieces of wood and splinters. Before a piece of wood could skewer his eye, Argo shot his hand up like lightning and caught the thing in midair. He gritted his teeth. “I was too slow, again…” the overachieved 17-year old raised his head. “Something’s not right,” he mused, raising his head. “And my psychic powers tell me that it’s because Yuzai hasn’t got a partner yet.”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">Punches and zooming hedgehogs filled the Slifer Red Dorm on its cliff. Yuzai, hands occupied with an Xbox 360 controller, jabbed each button with ferocity. “A, B, B, Y, Y, X, ,A, B, A, X, Y, A, B, X, A, and…” a golden Shadow the Hedgehog on the screen unleashed a few lightning bolts, and then grounded a badly hurt Sonic into the ground. The virtual MC shouted, “K.O.!!” The game ended, with Aurora and Suzaku dropping their jaws. The white-haired teenager exclaimed to Yuzai.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“Man, what the heck.”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“What?! I told you that I’m boss at Shadow the Hedgehog.” “Ok, let’s play a different game!”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">Aurora searched through a drawer of video games.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“Okay, Mr. Video Game Otaku, let’s see how you fare in Halo 13.”

Soon after, Suzaku clapped his hand onto his forehead. “I really hate it when you pull a Jackhammer on me, Yuzai.” He said. The black and red haired teenager grinned.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“Wanna play snipers only?” “Yeah.”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“Serve yourself, but I’ll still pone you bad!!” Two hours later, Yuzai tossed his head back and laughed. “HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAHA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA HA-HA-HA HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!! SEE, I TOLD YOU I COULD STILL PONE YOU! EVEN WITH SNIPER RIFLES!! HA-HA-HA! ROFL! ROFL!” Aurora grimaced. “Great. Let’s do pistols only next.” Yuzai looked up, eyes wide, an expression of horror crossing his face. “Pistols….?” Suzaku grinned broadly, recognizing his friend’s expression. “Yes. Pistols. And no alternate weapons. Don’t tell me you’re scared.” Indignant, Yuzai sat up straight, and flexed his thumbs energetically. “Are you kidding? Of course not! Let’s get this game on already!”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">Outside, a squirrel scavenged under the windowsill for food. Paws raised to its tan-hued chest, bushy tail held high, the minute animal picked at a crack in the dorm wall-then nearly back-flipped off the cliff in alarm as a cry of frustration blasted like a foghorn from the dilapidated hut. “NOOOOOOOO!!! DANGIT DANGIT DANGIT DANGIT DANGIT!!! I LOST FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS!! NOOOOO!!!!” Inside, a triumphant Suzaku toggled through the endgame options, selecting replay. Aurora giggled. “I must say Yuzai, I didn’t think an otaku like yourself would lose to a couple of new players in pistol wars!” On the screen, Yuzai’s Spartan avatar, clad in crimson armor, spun wildly in a circle, popping shots off with a magnum as he frantically attempted to finish Aurora’s female avatar. In the ensuing seconds, the rose-armored trooper dropped Yuzai’s Spartan with a well-placed headshot, precisely in the middle of the visor… until the Xbox suddenly whirred. The screen turned black. Yuzai blinked. “What the…” a black bubble appeared in the corner that read: UnbatedCarp58 has joined. Restarting game. The Fudo teenager stared in misunderstanding. “Who’s ‘UnbatedCarp 58’ ?” Suzaku shrugged.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“I dunno. Probably some sort of guy who’s joining us in pistol wars online.”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“Really? That’s cool.”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">The game restarted, and Yuzai howled. “I DON’T NEED TO BE HUMILIATED MORE THAN ONCE!!” Aurora grinned as she switched to Plasma Pistol.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“You’re cute when you get mad.”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“Wait, what?”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“Never mind.” UnbatedCarp58’s avatar, a Spartan with an EOD helmet, was killing everyone. It was like a routine! Go, search, shoot, get killed by the random carp guy, go, search, shoot, get killed by the random carp guy, go, search, shoot, get killed by the random carp guy. Suzaku whistled. “This guy’s no noob. I’m usually pretty good at pistol wars.” Aurora agreed. “Yeah. No joke.” UnbatedCarp58 dual armed a UNSC Pistol and a Plasma sidearm as he killed both Suzaku and Aurora. Yuzai sighed. “I’m no good at pistol stuffs, so I’m no judge for this.” Unexpectedly, a deep, menacing voice blared through the sound stereos. “Yuzai.” The black and red haired teenager jumped in the air, dropped his controller, and asked fearfully through his Xbox headset.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“Argo? Is that you?”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“Who do you think it is, Mr. Otaku?” “Argo.” “Yes.”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“Because you need to get a partner. NOW.”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">Yuzai shivered as Argo assassinated him from behind.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“Partner for what…”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WELL WHAT I MEAN, FUDO, YUZAI STARLIGHT.”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“Duh. Well? Have you got a partner?” Yuzai thought about it carefully. To or not to lie? He quickly chose the former, remembering what Argo did to those who don’t tell the truth.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“No.”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“GET ONE. OR WE’LL HAVE A DUEL.”

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">There was a whirring noise, and the Xbox died.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 8.0px Cambria">“So who’re you targeting, Yuzai?” Asked Suzaku to his friend, who was currently engrossed reading a manga. “Hm.” Suzaku rolled his eyes. Whenever Yuzai went to the library, he always found himself a Japanese comic book to read. Sgt. Frog always captivated him. The two friends had been there for so long, the librarian had given them suspicious glances from time to time. Suzaku elbowed Yuzai in the shoulder.
