Yuya Life Points: 4300/ Number of cards in hand: 2.
"It is useless to continue to resist, but go ahead and draw!" The bulky man exclaimed as he pointed towards Yuya with his right hand's index finger, before he looked down at his Duel Disk's screen. 'It is hopeless for him. My face down, Sakurestsu Armor will return his attack back at him and destroy his monster. And if he goes for my Life Points with a card effect, my other Trap, Gift of the Mystical Elf will increase my Life Points. It is hopeless for him'. The Sledgehammer thought to himself with a smirk on his face, confident of his victory.
He looked down at Yuya, who was looking up at him from the open field. "Maybe you should do a disappearing act, kid. After all, like father, like son". The 'champion' mocked Yuya with a smirk on his face, making the teenage boy glare up at him. "Not on your life! My master taught me to never run from my opponent, so I'm gonna stand my ground!" Yuya retaliated at his opponent, before he looked down at his two cards.
He currently had his ace Odd-Eyes Dragon, and Performapal Springoose. 'Not exactly the best hand right now, but I'm not giving up. Yusei told me to never give up, and I'll sure to be rewarded'. The tomato hair styled boy thought to himself with narrowed eyes, before he looked at the top card of his deck.
Back in the audience, Lulu, Rin, Skip, Zuzu and Gong all looked worried for Yuya, while Yusei and Yoko had natural expressions on their faces. "Yuya…" Lulu whispered in concern for her friend, worried that he could lose to the Sledgehammer. Zuzu had her teeth gritted, before she swallowed her pride and turned to look at Yusei. "Is there a chance for him to turn this around?" The pink haired girl questioned the Shooting Star of Satellite, her concern for her childhood friend stronger than her dislike for Yusei.
Yusei nodded instantly without turning to face her. "He can and he will. All he needs to do is not give up and believe in his cards". The Shooting Star of Satellite answered the pink haired girl; having full confidence that his student can turn this duel around. "Come on Yuya! Take out that muscle head!" Rin called out in encouragement, keeping her belief for her friend strong.
Yuya placed his right hand's index, middle and thumb fingers on the top card of his deck and closed his eyes. He took a sigh, before he shot open his eyes. "I draw!" The teenage boy called out as he drew his card in a dramatic fashion with his right hand, before he held it up in front of him to see what it was.
"I activate the Spell card, Odd-Eyes Draw!" Yuya called out as he swiped his right hand out, revealing the card to be a Spell card. The image showed three cards with the eyes and gem of Odd-Eyes Dragon in front of them, looking see through for the cards behind them to be seen.
(Odd-Eyes Draw/ Type: Spell/ Effect: Send one Odd-Eyes card from your side of the field or hand to the Graveyard, draw 3 cards from your deck.)
"By discarding an Odd-Eyes card from my hand or field, I get to draw 3 cards!" Yuya explained his Spell card's effect as he sent the card to the Graveyard zone of his Duel Disk, before he picked up Odd-Eyes Dragon's card with his right hand and held it out. "And I got one right here! My Odd-Eyes Dragon!" The teenage boy called out as he sent the card to the Graveyard zone of his Duel Disk, before he drew 3 more cards from his deck.
Yuya looked at the 3 cards that he was now holding with his right hand and saw that they were Stargazer Magician, Timegazer Magican and Pot of Greed. 'My deck is trying to tell me something. Let's see what its saying'. The teenage boy thought to himself as he added the three cards to his hand, before he picked up Pot of Greed's card. "Now I activate the Spell card, Pot of Greed!" Yuya called out as he slotted the Spell card into his Duel Disk, before the card materialized on the field.
"This lets me draw 2 more cards from my deck!" The teenage boy explained his Spell card's effect, before he looked down at his deck. 'The key to dueling is to believe in your deck, and yourself. When you're falling behind, you can always make things swing your way again. So don't worry about anything, just try to enjoy the ride. Whenever you're lost, this pendent will show you the way you need to go'. A familiar voice, Yusho's voice, said from within Yuya's mind, reminding him of his important lesson that he learned long ago.
"Time to swing into action!" Yuya called out with a determined voice, refusing to give up. Unknown to him, his pendant began swinging back and forth. "Swing, Pendulum! More and more!" Yuya called out as he placed his right hand's fingers on his deck, before he drew his two cards in a dramatic fashion, even leaving a golden light from both his cards and Duel Disk. Yuya's pendant began glowing bright blue as it released an unknown power. In Yuya's hands, his Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician began glowing, along with the two cards that he drew.
Yuya watched with his mouth wide open as his cards glow, before they proceeded to transform in front of him. Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician turned from orange to half-orange, half-green and gained an additional effect box with arrows on both sides. The two cards he drew were both blank, before they transformed as well. One of them became just like the two magicians, while the other one became a Spell card.
Yuya looked at the four cards in disbelief as his mind suddenly working on its own, before he suddenly figured out what to do with his new cards. Yuya gained a determine look on his face, before he looked forward with his pendant glowing a bright blue colour. "I'll use Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician to set the Pendulum Scale…!" Yuya called out as he held up Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician's cards with his right hand's index and middle fingers, before swiping his arm out to the side.
"I'm taking control of this duel, starting now!" The teenage boy continued as he placed his cards on the edges of his Duel Disk. The words 'Pendulum' appeared across the blade in rainbow colours. Both Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician appeared in a mysterious light as they were inside blue pillars of energy with the numbers '1' underneath Stargazer Magician, while '8' was underneath Timegazer Magician. Suddenly, a giant copy of Yuya's pendent appeared between the two magicians, circling around in a small circle. "Now thanks to this, I'm allowed to Summon monsters between Levels 2 to 7 all at the same time!" Yuya called out with a determine voice, his eyes showing a powerful resolve.
The Sledgehammer had wide eyes of shock as he watched Yuya. "What's that kid doing?" The bulky man questioned in shock, but wouldn't receive an answer. "Swing far pendulum! Carve the arc of victory!" Yuya chanted as the giant copy of his pendent swung between his two monsters. "My monsters are ready to swing into action!" Yuya called out into the heavens as he swung his right hand into the air to the giant pendulum as it drew an arc, creating a portal with two flashes of light shooting out from within it, one of them being green and the other being purple.
"First up is Performapal Springoose!" Yuya called out as the green light cleared to reveal Performapal Springoose.
Performapal Springoose ATK Points: 1100/ Level: 5.
"And now for my new monster! Turn up the heat, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" The teenage boy called out as the purple light cleared to reveal a new monster that looked a little like Odd-Eyes Dragon, like it was an evolved form. Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon was a little bigger than Odd-Eyes Dragon, had coloured spheres on his head and back body parts, and also had what looked like a blue-coloured jewel sticking out of its chest with armor around it. Its spikes were even different than before with a red and green orbs on them, even having horns on its head now that pointed backwards. The new dragon let out a fearsome roar, creating a gust of wind.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK Points: 2500/ Level: 7.
Everyone in the stadium had wide eyes of disbelief, shock and awe at witnessing what just happened. Even the serious looking Yusei had a look of shock on his face at what he just witnessed from his student. "What the…" Rin said in disbelief at what she just witnessed from her friend. "I can't believe what Yuya just did". Lulu whispered with wide eyes, having never seen anything like this before. "How'd Yuya do that?" Zuzu questioned everyone, her voice full of awe at witnessing the unknown Summoning. "Got Gong". Gong answered in a disbelief voice, having no idea what just happened.
(Meanwhile in the Leo Institute building)
In the repaired monitor room, it was full of men and women working with the head chief watching them from the platform above. It had taken some time to repair the damage that had been done from Stardust Dragon's Synchro energy, but they managed to repair everything and even upgrade it so that what happened before will never happen again.
One of the holographic screens that were showing Paradise City began acting up. "Sir! I picked up an unusual Summoning signal from the city's coastal zone. The reading is off the charts!" One of the workers told the head chief, getting his attention as he shot up from his seat. "Analysis, quick!" The head chief told the workers as they began analyzing what the Summoning was.
"I have the results, sir". One of the female workers stated as she looked up at the screen. "If the wave patterns are correct, someone is using… Pendulum energy?" The woman said in a confused voice as the screen showed the word 'Pendulum'. "Pendulum energy!? The head chief exclaimed in confusion, having never heard or seen Pendulum energy.
(Back at the Dueling arena)
Yuya back jumped onto Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's head and grabbed hold of his horns, while keeping a hold of his last card with his left hand's middle and ring fingers. "The kid Summon two high Level monsters at once. I should be the one flexing my muscles at this clown. How can a puny boy like him posses such a powerful maneuver? It must be a trick". The bulky man questioned, looking down at his Duel Disk. A screen appeared besides his Duel Disk's screen, showing Nico, who looked just as shocked as him.
"I'm stunned too. But if this move wasn't legit, the judges would have intervened". The Sledgehammer's manager told the bulky man, getting him to grit his teeth in anger. "Where did he learn this Pendulum Summon?" The 'champion' of Paradise City questioned, before he grew an arrogant smirk on his face. "It doesn't matter. His monsters are no match for my Battleguard Warlock King! Hahaha!" Sledgehammer laughed out in an arrogant voice, making Yuya smirk right at him. "Wrong! Your Warlock King is history!" The teenage boy told the bulky man, stopping the Sledgehammer in his laughing fit as he looked at Yuya in confusion.
"You've lost it! Nether of your monsters are strong enough to destroy Warlock King in battle". Sledgehammer pointed out, but Yuya just kept smirking. "In battle, perhaps. But this card will change that". The teenage boy told his opponent as he held up his card with his left hand, before he flipped it over. "I activate the Spell, Spiral Flame Strike!" Yuya called out as the Spell card dispersed into sparkles.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon let out a fierce roar, before he began charging towards Battleguard Warlock King with Yuya holding onto his horns to stay on board. "This card has two effects, and I'll go with option 1. If I control an Odd-Eyes card, I can destroy one of your cards!" Yuya explained his Spell card's effect with a smirk on his face, much to the Sledgehammer's horror as he widened his eyes.
"I activate the Trap, Gift of the Mystical Elf!" The bulky man exclaimed as one of his face down card reappeared and revealed itself. The Trap, along with Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Battleguard Warlock King, the Warlock Token and Performapal Springoose began glowing white, before the Sledgehammer gleamed white. "This card increases my Life Points by 300 for each monster on the field! Since there's 4, that's 1200 Life Points!" Sledgehammer explained his Trap card's effect as his Life Points went up.
Sledgehammer Life Points: 1750 + 1200 = 2950.
The glowing ceased as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon cried out, before it jumped high into the sky. The orbs on the Dragon-Type monster's spikes began glowing with energy. "Go Spiral Flame Strike!" Yuya called out as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's eyes flashed for a moment, before unleashing a dark red flaming stream attack at Battleguard Warlock King. The stream struck the Fusion Monster in the chest, making him cry out in pain, before he exploded.
"I don't believe it! The Sledgehammer has lost his Fusion Monster, leaving him with just a token to defend himself!" Nico called out on his microphone with wide eyes, causing the crowd to cheer for Yuya. Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon fell to the ground and landed on his feet, kicking up dust and rubble from the impact with Yuya still hanging on his head. "Now Springoose, attack the Warlock Token!" Yuya commanded his monster, getting Springoose to let out a cry as it spread its wings, before it charged at the token.
The Winged Beast head butted the monolith, causing it to disperse into partials. "And with that thing out of the way, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon can attack you direct! Go Odd-Eyes!" Yuya commanded his Pendulum Monster, swiping his right hand out. Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon let out a cry, before it began charging towards the stone castle. "You fool! I activate the Trap, Sakuretsu Armor!" Sledgehammer called out, thrusting his right hand out as one of his face downs revealed itself.
"If your monster attacks, this Trap will destroy your monster!" The bulky man explained his Trap card's effect with a smirk on his face, before it fell when he saw that Yuya was still smirking. "Nice try, but guess what? It's not going to happen! I activate Timegazer Magician's Pendulum Effect!" Yuya called out as a metal board came out of Timegazer Magician's gauntlet and circled around to his other arm, appearing like a clockwork gear.
A wave of temporal energy erupted from the gear and engulfed the Sakuretsu Armor, forcing it to return to face down position. "Hey! What just happened!?" The Sledgehammer questioned with wide eyes, wanting an explanation on what just happened. "Timegazer Magician's Pendulum effect, that's what! When a Pendulum Monster battles and you activate a Trap card that targets it, Timegazer Magician negates the activation and returns it to face down position!" Yuya explained to his opponent with a confident smirk on his face as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon jumped into the air once more.
"Oh boy! This is going to hurt for the Sledgehammer!" Nico exclaimed on his microphone with wide eyes as Odd-Eyes Dragon fired another dark red flaming stream attack at the Sledgehammer. The bulky man quickly ran away as the stream attack struck the edge of the balcony, causing an explosion.
Sledgehammer Life Points: 2950 – 2500 = 450.
The explosion had created smoke that covered what happened to the Sledgehammer from view. Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon fell down to the ground, kicking up dust and rubble from the impact. The smoke cleared to reveal that a part of the edge of the balcony had been reduced to ash, creating a creator, while the Sledgehammer was safely away from it, standing in front of the door to the castle.
"The Sledgehammer is almost out of Life Points, while Yuya still has 4300 Life Points! Can the champion turn this duel around!?" The Sledgehammer's manager questioned on his microphone, pointing out that there was a major Life Point difference. Yuya slightly narrowed his eyes as he looked up at Sledgehammer as he walked to the right edge of the balcony. 'He played Gift of the Mystical Elf at the perfect time. If he had activated it after his monsters were destroyed, his Life Points would have been at 2650. He played it at the right time'. The teenage boy thought to himself, before he looked down at his Duel Disk's screen.
'I got Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Springoose and my two magicians on my field. All he has is a Sakurestsu Armor that I can cancel out so long as I have Timegazer Magician and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon on my field. Still, I best keep on guard'. Yuya thought to himself, analyzing the field, before he looked up at the Sledgehammer. "I end my turn here! You're up!" Yuya declared his turn over, having nothing else to do.
Sledgehammer Life Points: 450/ Number of cards in hand: 0.
The Sledgehammer gave a hateful glare down at Yuya, even shaking a bit from his anger. "I've had enough of you! It is time to bring the Sledgehammer down and get rid of you! I DRAW!" Sledgehammer roared out as he drew his card in a dramatic fashion, creating a gust of wind from swiping his right hand out with his card between his index and middle fingers. The bulky man turned the card over, before he widened his eyes at seeing what it was, and then grinned.
He thrust his right hand out, revealing the card to be a Spell card. The image showed Battleguard King, Lava Battleguard and Swamp Battleguard all covered in different coloured pillars, all shooting out into the air and coming together with the shadow of a giant creature with red eyes behind it. "I activate the Spell card, Battleguard Necromancy Fusion!" Sledgehammer called out, before he slotted the card into his Duel Disk.
(Battleguard Necromancy Fusion/ Spell/ Effect: Remove from play, from your side of the field or your Graveyard, Fusion Material Monsters that are listed on a "Battleguard" Fusion Monster, and Special Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.)
The Spell card appeared in front of the Sledgehammer over the edge, getting everyone to widen their eyes in surprise. Yoko quickly hugged Lulu in case she had another panic attack, but luckily, she didn't have one this time as her breathing remained normal. "This Spell card allows me to Fusion Summon a Battleguard Fusion Monster using monsters from my field, or Graveyard!" Sledgehammer explained his Fusion card's effect with a smirk on his face, making Yuya widen his eyes in surprise. 'From the Graveyard!' The teenage boy thought to himself in surprise, both at the Spell's effect and that his opponent had another Fusion Monster.
(Play Camula's Theme - Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Soundtrack!)
Sledgehammer brought out four cards with his right hand, before it flipped them over to reveal them to be Battleguard King, Battleguard Gladiator, Battleguard Knight and Battleguard Warlock King. "I banish Battleguard King, Gladiator, Knight and Warlock King!" The bulky man revealed his choices as the four Battleguard monsters appeared in the lake surrounding the castle, kicking up water from their sudden appearances.
"With these four monsters, I'll create the ultimate Battleguard!" The Sledgehammer called out to the heavens, thrusting his right hand out to the sky as a black swirling portal appeared up above. Battleguard King, Battleguard Gladiator, Battleguard Knight and Battleguard Warlock King all cried out, before pillars of energy shot down from the swirling portal around them, sucking them all into the portal.
"I Fusion Summon! BATTLEGUARD TYRANT!" The bulky man shouted out to the heavens as a giant shadow covered monster fell from the portal and landed in the lake, kicking up all the water in the lake. It was a giant charcoal skinned Battleguard in Nordic armor, no helmet to cover its flaming dark hair and red eyes. In its right arm, it wielded a giant spiked club. The monster was so big, around the size of an Earthbound Immortal. Battleguard Tyrant unleashed a powerful roar that shook the whole arena and causing everyone to cover their ears from the sound.
(Battleguard Tyrant/ Level: 10/ Attribute: Earth/ Type: Warrior/ Fusion/ Effect/ ATK Points: 4000/ DEF Points: 4000/ Requirements: 1 'Battleguard King' + 1 or more Warrior-Type monsters/ Effect: If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. Once per turn, you can select and destroy cards your opponent controls equal to the number of Warrior-Type monsters used as Fusion Material for this card.)
"OH, MY GOD! Look at the size of that monster! It's easily the biggest monster I've ever seen! I can't even contain myself!" Nico screamed out on his microphone in awe. Everyone in the audience stared up at Battleguard Tyrant as it easily outsized the castle. Yusei, Lulu, Rin, Gong, Zuzu and Yoko all stared up at the Fusion Monster in disbelief. "That monster's ATK Points are off the charts". Zuzu stated with wide eyes with a hint of dread in them.
"This has to be the Sledgehammer's strongest monster!" Skip exclaimed in panic, having never seen a monster with high ATK Points like Battleguard Tyrant's. "Yuya doesn't have a monster that even comes close to that monster's manpower!" Gong commented with wide eyes, having seen through Yuya's new deck and seen that none of his monster's ATK Points were close to Battleguard Tyrant's. "This is so not good". Rin stated, now worried about her friend. 'Yuya… please be careful'. Lulu thought to herself in concern as she turned to look down at the tomato hair styled boy.
Yuya, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Springoose, Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician all looked up at the Fusion Monster with wide eyes, who looked down at them with a glare. The Sledgehammer leaped from the balcony and landed on Battleguard Tyrant's left shoulder, before he looked down at his opponent. "Hahahaha! It's over for you, punk! I activate Battleguard Tyrant's special ability!" Sledgehammer called out, thrusting his right hand into the air. Battleguard Tyrant gave out a roar, before it held up its giant spiked club as it gleam black energy. From the black energy came the ghost forms of Battleguard King, Knight, Gladiator and Warlock King.
The four all roared out, before they all charged. Battleguard King struck Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon with its club, Gladiator bashed its shield into Springoose, Knight swung its greatsword on Timegazer Magician and Warlock King based his staff against Stargazer Magician. All eight of them all shattered in particles, much to Yuya's shock as he fell, but landed on his feet. "Once a turn, Battleguard Tyrant can destroy cards equal to the Warrior-Type monsters used as Fusion Material to Summon it! I used four, meaning all four of your cards are destroyed!" Sledgehammer explained his Fusion Monster's special ability with a smirk on his face, getting Yuya to look up at him with a frown.
"I really don't like you". The teenage boy told his opponent, before he looked down at his Duel Disk's screen, only to widen his eyes in surprise at something unexpected. The Extra Deck zone of his screen was blinking yellow. Curious, Yuya tapped the screen, causing it to show his Extra Deck. To his surprise, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician were all in his Extra Deck. 'My Pendulum cards…! They're in the Extra Deck, but how?' The teenage boy thought to himself with wide eyes, realizing that there was more to Pendulum cards than he thought.
"Get ready, clown boy!" Sledgehammer called out from Battleguard Tyrant's shoulder, getting Yuya to blink in surprise, before he looked up to see his opponent pointing at him with his right hand's index finger. "Battleguard Tyrant! Attack that brat directly!" The bulky man commanded his Fusion Monster, making Yuya widen his eyes in dread as Battleguard Tyrant raised his giant spiked club.
"This is going to hurt". The 14-year-old stated with wide eyes, watching as Battleguard Tyrant unleashed a bone chilling roar, before it swung its down on the ground. The force of the impact on the ground created a blast of wind, heading straight towards the wide eyed Yuya, before it struck and send him spinning into the air, along with him crying out.
Yuya Life Points: 4300 – 4000 = 300.
Yuya crashed landed on his back hard, groaning in pain with his eyes closed. "Yuya!" Lulu, Rin, Zuzu, Gong and Skip all cried out in concern for their friend, while Yusei gritted his teeth and Yoko narrowed her eyes. The Sledgehammer burst out laughing at seeing this. "Hahahahaha! With that done, I end my turn!" The bulky man declared his turn over, satisfied with the damage he dealt.
(Music end)
Yuya Life Points: 300/ Number of cards in hand: 0.
Yuya tried to get up from the ground, before he grunted and fell to his back again. "Yuya's taken massive damage, leaving him with mealy 300 Life Points left. He has no cards in his hand, or field. His only chance to win this Duel is on his next turn, but if he fails, the Sledgehammer will win! Sledgehammer has his powerful Fusion Monster that can destroy anything, along with the Trap Sakuretsu Armor. Things look bad for Yuya, and he can't even get up!" Nico called out on his microphone as he, along with everyone in the audience watched Yuya as he lied down on the ground, unable to get up.
"Come on, Yuya! Get back up! You can win this!" Gong shouted out to his best friend with wide eyes of concern, gripping the railings tightly with his hands. "I knew we shouldn't have let him duel the Sledgehammer! Just look at him! He can't even stand up!" Zuzu exclaimed in concern, now wishing that she changed Yuya's decision of accepting the challenge. "Get up, Yuya! You need to win us that ARC System!" Skip called out to the teenage boy, grappling the railings right next to Gong.
Rin smacked the back of Skip's head with her right hand, before she looked down at the fallen Yuya. "Don't give up! You still got a chance!" The Witch of the Wind called out to her friend, before she turned to look at Lulu and Yoko. "Yuya…" The Mistress of Birds said in deep concern for her friend, before she began to get teary eyes for Yuya. Yoko looked at the purple haired girl, before she brought her into a full hug. "It's okay, don't worry. Yuya's gonna turn this around, I promise". Yoko told the younger female in a comforting voice, keeping full belief that her son can turn this around.
Yusei had his arms crossed, but he had his eyes narrowed and teeth gritted as he stared down at his student. 'Yuya… don't give up. I've overcome impossible odds before, and you can too'. The Shooting Star of Satellite thought to himself, believing that Yuya can turn this difficult duel around, just like how he's done in the past. However, that was when he noticed something unexpected.
Right next to the lying down form of Yuya was Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon in spirit form, nudging his duelist with his head to wake him up, but was falling. 'Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon?' The Signer said in his mind in surprise, having not expected this. The Pendulum Monster raised his head and gave a worried growl, increasing Yusei's fascination. To his further surprise, Stardust Dragon appeared outside of the entrance in front of him.
The Signer Dragon looked over his left shoulder to look at his duelist. 'Our students need our help, Yusei'. The leader of the Signer Dragon said to his duelist, getting Yusei to smile up at him. Yusei had known about Stardust taking Odd-Eyes as his student because the Signer Dragon had told him in their time here. The Signer was actually glad to hear that his ace monster had taken his student's ace monster as his student, knowing that Odd-Eyes Dragon will be cared deeply and looked after by Stardust.
The Signer Dragon flew towards his student, while Yusei placed his right hand over his left forearm, covering his mark as it began to glow. Back in the arena, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon tried to wake his duelist up by trying to speak to him. 'Yuya, come on! Wake up! You can't give up after coming this far!' The Pendulum Monster called out to his duelist, but Yuya didn't even flinch at his loud voice, still unable to hear his monster's voices.
'He can't hear you. Yuya still doesn't possess the power to speak to Duel Spirits'. A familiar voice told the Pendulum Monster, getting Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon to look up to see his master, Stardust Dragon flying towards him. 'Master. Is there nothing I can do to help him?' Odd-Eyes questioned his master in a concerned voice as the Signer Dragon stopped in front of him, before Stadust shook his head in response. 'Unfortunately, no. My duelist, Yusei will help him. Right now, I have a gift for you for passing your test'. The Signer Dragon told his pupil, getting Odd-Eyes Dragon to look at him in confusion.
'A gift?' The Pendulum Monster questioned, wondering what this 'gift' was. Stardust Dragon nodded to Odd-Eyes with a proud grin on his face, before he held out his right claw to his pupil. 'That's right. A portion of my power'. Stardust told his student as the palm of his right claw gleamed with cosmic energy, before it shot out towards Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. The cosmic energy struck the Pendulum Monster, causing his whole body to be covered in cosmic energy. The cosmic energy covered dragon unleashed a powerful roar as he began transforming, before both he and the Synchro Monster disappeared.
With Yuya, he was groaning with his eyes closed, too injured from Battleguard Tyrant's attack to even stand up. 'I… can't get up. I… can't win'. The teenage boy said in his mind, losing hope for victory from how injured he was. 'What's wrong, Yuya? Don't tell me you've given up?' A familiar voice questioned the tomato haired boy from out of nowhere, much to his surprise.
'Yusei? Is that you?' Yuya questioned inside his mind, hoping that it was his teacher that he was hearing. 'It's me alright'. The voice, now revealed to be Yusei's, answered the teenage boy. 'Yusei, I can't move. Everything hurts. And even if I could move, I don't stand a chance against the Sledgehammer'. Yuya told his mentor in an exhausted voice, having lost hope of winning. 'You're wrong about that Yuya. You do have a chance, because of two reasons' The Shooting Star of Satellite said to his student, getting Yuya curious on what his mentor was trying to tell him.
'What are those two reasons?' The teenage boy questioned his teacher, wanting to know what these two reasons are. '1: Because you believe in Duel Monsters with all of your heart. And when you believe, you always have a chance…' Yusei began, surprising Yuya with his words as he began to realize that he was right. 'The second reason is simple. You're not alone. Your friends, including me are here, cheering you on. So stand up Yuya! Stand up and show everyone that you're not a coward! Show them up that you've grown up, both as a Duelist, and as a person! SHOW THEM ALL YOUR RAGING SPIRIT!' Yusei shouted out to his student, making Yuya shot open his resolve filled eyes.
(Music end! Play Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Sound Duel 3 - Disc 2 - 19. 5D's' Theme)
Yuya groaned as he climbed up to his feet, leaning forward and taking deep breaths. "I can't believe it! Yuya's back up on his feet!" Nico called out in amazement, causing the audience to cheer for the teenage boy. "That's it Yuya! Show him what you're made of!" Gong shouted out to his best friend with a grin on his face. Gong wasn't the only one grinning as Skip, Zuzu and Rin were all grinning as well at seeing Yuya stand back up. Yoko was smiling at seeing her son get back up on his feet, before she turned to look at Lulu and saw her relived look at seeing Yuya alright. Unknown to everyone was that Yusei had a proud smile as his mark ceased glowing.
Yuya lifted his head up to look at the Sledgehammer, who was looking down at him with a grin on his face. "I'm… not giving up! My teacher taught me to keep believing in myself, and in my cards! That's why I won't give up until the very end!" Yuya shouted out with conviction, refusing to surrender. Unknown to Yuya was that his pendant was lightly glowing crimson, before crimson flames briefly appeared around it.
The teenage boy brought up his left arm, before he looked down at the top card of his deck. He closed his eyes and focused on his deck. 'I still believe in you, my deck. Please, give me the card I need to turn this duel around'. Yuya said in his mind, before he placed his right hand's index, middle and thumb fingers on the top card of his deck, not noticing the top card briefly flashing red for a moment. The tomato hair styled boy then shot open his determine filled eyes. "I…DRAW!" Yuya called out as he drew his card in a dramatic fashion, leaving a crimson veil as he swiped his right hand out.
Yuya turned the card over and looked at the card over his right eye, before he widened his eyes at seeing what it was. 'Where did this card come from?' The teenage boy thought in confusion, before he widened his eyes when a bright light appeared in front of him.
(Yuya's vision)
Yuya opened his eyes and found himself in a bright white area. He looked around, wondering what was happening, before he heard a roar in front of him. He looked forward and saw a an unknown monster, covered in cosmic energy, in front of him. The only thing he could make out of the unknown monster was its left green eye, and right red eye, which were both shining like a star.
The cosmic covered monster let out a roar at Yuya, as if telling him what he needed to do. Yuya had wide eyes as he stared at the unknown monster, before he narrowed his eyes and nodded to the creature.
(Back in reality)
Yuya's eyes flashed for a moment as he regained control of himself. He looked forward with a determined look, before he swiped his right hand in front of him, holding the card out. It was a monster card, half-orange, half-green and had arrows on both sides. The image showed a luminous white Oriental Dragon that looked a little like Stardust Xiaolong. It had long red hair in place of Stardust Xiaolong's hair, a jet black underbelly, five fingered claw hands and feet. It had a long tail and blue fur on its legs. There was a red gem on its forehead and finally, it was a heterochromia, having a left green eye and a red right eye, both shining like a star.
"I Summon Star-Eyes Synchron!" Yuya called out with narrowed eyes, before he swiped his right hand onto his Duel Disk's blade, placing the card on it. The card materialized on the field in front of Yuya, before it gleamed and Star-Eyes Synchron floated out of it. The little Oriental Dragon unleashed a roar as it floated besides Yuya on his left, glaring up at Battleguard Tyrant.
(Star-Eyes Synchron/ Level: 1/ Attribute: Wind/ Type: Dragon/ Tuner/ Pendulum/ Effect/ ATK Points: 500/ DEF Points: 300/ Pendulum Scale: 0/ Pendulum Effect: Once per turn, you can select one Pendulum Summoned monster you control and change its Level to any Level below 8. If you Pendulum Summoned an "Odd-Eyes" monster, you can Special Summon this card from your Pendulum Zone/ Effect: When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can select and Special Summon one face-up "Odd-Eyes" monster from your Extra Deck. Once per turn, you can select one Pendulum Monster you control and change this card's Level to the selected Monster's Level.)
The Sledgehammer burst out laughing at the sight of Star-Eyes Synchron, before he pointed towards it with his right hand's index finger. "You drew a weak pathetic monster and played it? You really must want to lose if you played it!" The bulky man mocked the teenage boy in an arrogant tone, getting Yuya to smirk at him. "On the contrary, I'm gonna win thanks to Star-Eyes Synchron!" The teenage boy told the 'champion' of Paradise city, much to amusement as he continued to smirk at Yuya.
"Oh yeah? Well, go ahead and try to beat my Battleguard Tyrant with that scrawny little lizard!" Sledgehammer dared the tomato hair styled boy with a smirk that screamed 'arrogance'. "It'll be my genuine pleasure!" Yuya called out in response, before swiping his left hand out to his new monster. "I activate Star-Eyes Synchron's special ability!" Yuya called out, turning to look at Star-Eyes Synchron as white cosmic energy appeared in its mouth, before he breathed out a cosmic breath attack into the sky.
The cosmic breath attack created a pure white portal in the sky, getting the Sledgehammer to look up at it in curiosity. "When he's Normal or Special Summoned, I'm allowed to Special Summon 1 face-up Odd-Eyes Monster in my Extra Deck". The teenage boy explained his monster's effect, making the Sledgehammer smirk at him. "That card truly is useless. There's no such card that can be face-up in the Extra Deck". The bulky man said in an arrogant tone, making Yuya smirk right back at him.
"Actually, there is such a card. You see, when Pendulum Monsters on the field are destroyed, they're sent to the Extra Deck face-up!" Yuya told his opponent with a confident grin, making the Sledgehammer, along with everyone, widen their eyes in shock. "What the!?" The bulky man exclaimed in shock as Yuya's Extra Deck slot of his deck opened and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's card slotted out. "And the monster I'm bringing back is Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya called out as he picked the card up with his right hand and swiped it onto the blade. A familiar cry came out of the cosmic portal, before Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon fell down from it and landed on the ground besides Yuya and Star-Eyes Synchron.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK Points: 2500/ Level: 7.
"Fine, keep him. He's no match for my Battleguard Tyrant!" The Sledgehammer called out as his ace monster unleashed a powerful howl. "Maybe alone he can't, but together with Star-Eyes Synchron, he can". Yuya told the 'champion' of Paradise City with a grin on his face, getting the bulky man to frown in confusion.
Hearing a familiar roar in his mind, Yuya narrowed his eyes. 'Don't worry, I'm about to bring you out'. The teenage boy said in his mind, before swiping his right hand into the air. "I tune Level 1 Star-Eyes Synchron to Level 7 Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya called out with a powerful voice, before his two dragons flew into the sky. "That thing is a Tuner Monster!?" Sledgehammer cried out in surprise, having not expected Star-Eyes Synchron to be a Tuner Monster.
Star-Eyes Synchron gave out a cry, before, to everyone's surprise, burst into cosmic energy. The cosmic energy was absorbed into Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, causing his whole body to be covered in cosmic energy with only his eyes visible, only now they were shining like a star. The cosmic energy covered dragon unleashed a powerful roar as it began transforming with the cosmic energy covering his form.
"Wondrous and beautiful dragon with dichromatic eyes! With the power given to you by the dragon of stardust, transform into a new dragons with eyes that shine a new future! I Synchro Summon! Star-Eyes Savior Dragon!" Yuya chanted as the cosmic energy covering the dragon unlashed a bright light that forced everyone in the stadium to cover their eyes. After a moment or two, everyone lowered that arms that they used to cover their eyes and opened them to see the new monster, before they widened their eyes at the sight.
Flying in the air was Odd-Eyes, but he had evolved into a new form now and looked a lot like Stardust Dragon. Star-Eyes Savior Dragon was bigger than he was in his Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon form, now just slightly smaller than Stardust. He was now a lanky dragon with a humanoid body plan in silvery white chrome armor and had black skin underneath. His bulky quad like legs were now like Stardust's legs, only with his armor on as well, but was recoloured to silvery white. His spikes had been replaced by wings that had claws and ribbed sections of silvery white skin protruding along the ridge of the wing finger, which extended far further than the other fingers.
There was a green gem on his left wing and a red one on his right wing. His once bulky torso was now lean with his torso armor reshaped to fit with a purple gem on his chest. His tail was tipped with four small, axe-like blades arranged in a cross just like Stardust's tail. His claws were now just like Stardust's claws, but were black with silvery white armor. His head and neck had changed a bit, no longer bulky and were now like Stardust's with some differences with his armor now reshaped to fit it. He had a short jaw in comparison to his large crest and long neck. The crest and neck both had black, ribbed sections of skin. The crest on Star-Eyes' head is now four-pointed like Stardust, with a fork-like trio of points extending from the back, and a single shorter point running down its nose. Finally, his heterochromia-like eyes were now shinning like that of a star and had a royal blue gem on his forehead.
Star-Eyes Savior Dragon's shinning eyes flashed a bit, before he spun around in the air and curled its claws, legs, wings and tail around itself. The Dragon-Type monster spread his claws, legs, wings and tail out and unleashed an earth shattering roar that put Battleguard Tyrant's roar to shame, even had white glittering stars surrounding him.
(Star-Eyes Savior Dragon/ Attribute: Wind/ Level: 8/ Scale: 10/ Dragon/ Synchro/ Pendulum/ Effect/ ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2500/ Requirements: One Tuner monster + 1 "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon"/ Pendulum Effect: Once per turn, you can target one Pendulum or Synchro monster in your Graveyard, or face in the Extra Deck, Special Summon it in ATK Mode with its effect negated, then target one monster your opponent controls, it loses ATK Points equal to that monster's ATK Points/ Effect: When this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate Spells or Traps until the end of the damage step.

(Music end)
Everyone stared up at the new monster in awe as the glittering stars fell from his wings, while Yusei had a proud smile on his face. Star-Eyes Savior Dragon looked up at Battleguard Tyrant with defying eyes, before he roared once more.
(Meanwhile in the Leo Institute building)
Back inside the monitor room, the alarm went off, the screens were going a bit haywire and the whole room was flashing bright red. Luckily, the screens weren't breaking and the mainframe wasn't out of control. "Again!?" The head chief exclaimed in surprise, before swiping his right hand out to the side. "Find out what Summoning energy it is!" He told the workers, wanting to know what Summoning was causing this again.
The workers immediately went to work and began analyzing what they picked up. "I have the results, sir". One of the female workers stated as she looked up at the screen. "If the wave patens are correct, someone is using… Synchro Pendulum energy?" The woman said in a confused voice as the screen showed the word 'Synchro Pendulum'. "Synchro Pendulum energy!? The head chief exclaimed in confusion, now more confused than before.
(Back at the stadium/ Play Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Sound Duel 2 - Disc 2 - 07. Yusei's Theme)
Yuya stared up at his new monster in awe, before he looked down at his Duel Disk's blade to look at the card. To his surprise, it was half-white, half-green and had an additional effect box with arrows on both sides. 'This card is… a Pendulum Synchro Monster!' The teenage boy thought to himself in surprise, before he looked back up at his new monster as it flew down above him, before it began flapping its wings to stay air-born.
Star-Eyes Savior Dragon looked down at his duelist and gave him a small growl, as if telling him it was time to finish this duel. Yuya grew a smile on his face as he nodded to his new monster, before he looked at the Sledgehammer and Battleguard Tyrant with a smirk on his face. "Get ready Sledgehammer! Because I'm about to win this duel!" The teenage boy called out to the bulky man, getting the Sledgehammer to smirk back at him. "In your dreams, little man! Your new monster isn't strong enough to defeat my Battleguard Tyrant!" Sledgehammer reminded his opponent that his monster's ATK Points weren't high enough to destroy Battleguard Tyrant.
Yuya kept his smirk on his face, before he thrust his right hand out. "I activate Star-Eyes Savior Dragon's special ability!" The teenage boy called out with a confident voice. Star-Eyes gave out a roar, before he flew higher into the air. "Go, Stardust Resurrection!" Yuya called out as Star-Eyes spread his wings out fully, before they began gleaming beautiful silver white energy. The energy shined down on the field below.
"Once a turn, Star-Eyes Savior Dragon can Special Summon a monster back from my Graveyard, or a face-up Monster in my Extra Deck back to the field! So, come on back, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya explained his monster's special ability, watching Star-Eyes Savior Dragon as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon appeared out of his wings and fell down to the ground.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon DEF Points: 2000/ Level: 7.
"And now the best part! Star-Eyes Savior Dragon gains ATK Points equal to the Special Summoned monster! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon has 2500 ATK Points, increasing Star-Eyes Savior Dragon's ATK Points all the way to 5500!" Yuya further explained his new monster's special ability as red flames appeared around Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, before it transferred over to Star-Eyes Savior. The red flames changed to silvery white flames as they covered the Synchro Pendulum Monster, causing his eyes to flash as his ATK Points went up.
Star-Eyes Savior Dragon ATK Points: 3000 + 2500 = 5500.
"That thing has 5500 ATK Points!" Sledgehammer exclaimed in shock to see Star-Eyes Savior Dragon's ATK Points higher than his most powerful monster's ATK Points now. "Unbelievable! Even when the odds were against him, Yuya Sakaki has turned things around and has brought out a monster that can size him victory!" Nico called out on his microphone in surprise, before the audience cheered out for Yuya and his Synchro Pendulum Monster.
"Okay Star-Eyes Savior Dragon…" Yuya began as he brought up his right fist, before thrusting it out. "Attack Battleguard Tyrant!" The teenage boy finished, getting Star-Eyes Savior Dragon to let out a fierce cry as the three gems all over his body began flashing their respective colours. "You fool! Did you forget about my Trap, Sakuretsu Armor!" Sledgehammer called out, thrusting his right hand out, expecting his face down card to reveal itself.
However, to his surprise, his face down didn't activate, or reappear. "What!?" The bulky man exclaimed in surprise, getting Yuya to chuckle at him as he held up his right fist. "I must have forgotten something. I hate to break it to ya, but when Star-Eyes attacks, you cannot activate Spells or Traps until the end of the damage step". The tomato hair styled boy told his opponent with a smirk, getting Sledgehammer to widen his eyes in shock. "No!" The bulky man exclaimed in dread, now knowing that he couldn't do anything to stop his opponent's attack.
Star-Eyes Pendulum Dragon opened his mouth, revealing black cosmic energy inside his mouth. "Go! Spiral Cosmic Flare!" Yuya cried out as Star-Eyes Savior Dragon unleashed a black flare attack like Stardust's Cosmic Flare attack, only it had white sparkles around it. The stream attack drew closer, before striking Battleguard Tyrant, making the Fusion Monster cry out. Star-Eyes Savior Dragon's attack created a powerful explosion that destroyed Battleguard Tyrant and sent the crying out Sledgehammer flying into the sky. (5500 – 4000 = 1500)
Sledgehammer Life Points: 450 – 1500 = 0.
Winner: Yuya!
(Music end)
The ARC System deactivated as the Action Field disappeared, along with Star-Eyes Savior Dragon and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, returning the two duelists back to the normal field. Yuya was standing up on his feet in the middle of the arena, while the Sledgehammer slammed onto the ground on his back. A screen appeared and showed Yuya with the words 'win' underneath. The crowd was silent at seeing the Sledgehammer defeated by the teenage boy, and stared down at Yuya.
Zuzu, Skip, Gong and Rin all had disbelief looks on their faces, while Yusei and Yoko had small smiles at seeing Yuya win. Lulu had a wide smile at seeing Yuya win, even leaving Yoko's embrace and walked up towards the railing. "He won…" Zuzu said in disbelief at seeing her childhood friend win the duel. "Uh huh". Gong replied to the pink haired girl, having wide eyes himself. Skip began crying waterfalls tears of joy as he pumped his fists into the air. "Ahh, yeah! Yuya made it look easy! You showed him how it's done!" The principal of the You Show Duel School exclaimed in joy for his student's victory. "Nice going, Yuya! Way to show it to the Sledgehammer!" Rin called out in praise to her friend with a wide smile.
Back with Yuya, he looked at his fallen opponent with a natural expression, before he grew a happy smile on his face. He brought up his left arm and looked down at his Duel Disk, before his Extra Deck opened and a card slotted out. Yuya grabbed the card with his right hand and brought it up to his face. The card was revealed to be Star-Eyes Savior Dragon with Yuya staring at it with a found smile on his face. 'Thanks Star-Eyes. I couldn't have done it without you'. Yuya said in his mind, thanking his new monster for saving the day.
"You did it Yuya!" A familiar voice praised the teenage boy, getting his attention as he turned to look to his left and saw Lulu, Rin, Zuzu, a crying Skip, Gong, Yoko and Yusei at the end of the staircase to the field, standing behind the railing. Lulu was the one who had called out to Yuya, having a happy look on her face with her cheeks slightly red. "You defeated the Sledgehammer, teacher would be so proud of you!" The Mistress of Birds added, getting Yusei to nod in agreement with his arms crossed.
"Lulu's right, your dad would be proud, just like I am! Your belief in your cards and spirit is what won you this duel!" The Shooting Star of Satellite told his student with a proud voice. "You were unbelievable!" Zuzu remarked with a smile on her face, relived that her childhood friend had managed to win the duel. "Even Gong was impressed!" The Superheavy Samurai duelist commented with an impressed smile on his face. "You rocked his world, big time!" Rin praised her friend as she gave Yuya the thumbs up with her right hand. "You're our star pupil!" Skip cried out in joy, getting Yuya to grow a bright smile at his friends and mentor's words.
All the people roared out in applause for Yuya with fireworks going off for his victory. "Yuya's my main man!" A man called out from the audience, having enjoyed seeing Yuya duel and win the intense match. "For real! He made The Sledgehammer look like a chump!" Another man from the audience said in agreement, having an excited look on his face.
"I want to know more about that Pendulum Summoning of his is all about". A woman in the audience said to another woman, who was sitting down next to Tate, who had an excited look on his face. "I've never seen anything like it before. Even his monster was beautiful". The other female replied, wishing she could see more of Star-Eyes Savior Dragon.
The Sledgehammer groaned as he sat up from the ground, his left hand rubbing the back of his head with his Duel Disk deactivated. "How can the Sledgehammer get walked all over a second time!" The purple haired man questioned in anger as Nico ran past him towards Yuya, lightly bumping into the bulky man.
Yuya was looking at all the people cheering for him with his Duel Disk deactivated and jacket blowing in the breeze, before his attention shifted to Nico Smiley, who ran up to him with an excited grin on his face. "Wow! Just listen to that applause!" The manager of The Sledgehammer called out on his microphone, before he took Yuya's right hand with his left.
"Bravo for you, Yuya! You have to let us all in on your secret! Give us the lowdown on that amazing new Pendulum Summoning technique you unveiled in today's duel, along with that Star-Eyes Savior Dragon you have!" Nico requested, holding his microphone out for Yuya. The teenage boy had slightly wide eyes as he looked down at the microphone. "Well… you wouldn't believe me if I told you". Yuya said with a nervous voice, not sure how he'll explain how he got his Pendulum Summoning and new ace monster.
Yusei watched his student attempt to answer Nico's questions with an amused look on his face, before he looked around the stadium and saw all the people cheering for his pupil. The Signer looked back at Yuya with a proud smile on his face. 'Yuya… I'm proud of you. You've done something unbelievable today. You've created a new Summoning, and that's something to be proud of'. The Shooting Star of Satellite thought to himself with a smile, before he dropped it and grew a serious expression.
'I'm only worried about how Z-ARC will use this 'Pendulum Summoning' to his advantage. With it, he could become more powerful than before. I better do something about the darkness still inside Yuya that connects him to Z-ARC'. Yusei said in his mind in concern for his student, deciding that now was the best time to remove Z-ARC's influence from his student.
Unknown to Yusei was that someone was watching him from the audience a little bit up above. It was a young teenage looking girl that had small fragile body, flowing auburn hair, and gentle green eyes. She wore a pink sleeveless fitted mid-riff vest with white trim with pink bralette top with yellow trim over the vest. She had pink fitted shorts with a yellow belt. She had black knee stockings and black high heels. Finally, she had a black heart bracelet around her right wrist.
The unknown girl sighed dreamily with her left hand on her cheek as she gazed longingly at the Shooting Star of Satellite with slightly red cheeks.
(Meanwhile at the Leo Institute office)
Declan pushed the doors to his office open, before he walked over to his desk, followed by Claude, who was holding a holographic chart. "Good news, sir. We've just identified the kid in question". Claude told the young president as Declan sat down on his chair, before he crossed his right leg over his left. The monitor up above turned on and showed a picture of Yuya. "His name is Yuya Sakaki…" Claude began as the picture changed to show Yuya handing an ice cream to Lulu with his right hand, much to her slight surprise as her cheeks were slightly red at Yuya's actions.
"He's 14-years-old, and surprisingly, he's Yusei Fudo's pupil". The man finished as the monitor changed to show Yusei and Yuya having a practice duel in the park. "Sakaki duels in the Junior ARC League". Claude told his president, before he began pressing buttons on the holographic chart. The monitor above changed to show a picture of Yuya's win-lose profile from a month ago.
"This was his win-lose record from a month ago. It was nothing special, but over the past month, he's grown powerful". The sunglass wearing man informed his boss as the monitor changed to show Yuya's current win-lose profile, which had more wins than the previous one. Declan stared up at the profile, before he looked down at his right-hand man. "His record has grown from 50-50% to 65-35. Yusei Fudo must have taught him well. Was his Synchro Summoning energies more powerful than the ones here?" Declan questioned his right-hand man, wanting to learn more about Yuya.
"Indeed sir. His Synchro Summonings are as powerful as Yusei Fudo's. Even the Xyz Summoning he showed today was just as powerful as his Synchro and Pendulum Summoning. His most powerful Summoning was when he summoned that dragon of his". Claude answered the young president, looking down at the holographic chart. "Besides taking lessons from Yusei Fudo, he takes lessons from the You Show Duel School as well, and even its popularity has grown since a month ago". The sunglasses wearing man added, turning to look back at his boss as Declan brought his hands together.
"I've heard of that name before. It was the Duel School created by Yusho Sakaki". Declan stated, before he narrowed his eyes a bit. 'Yusho… did you know about this 'Pendulum Summoning' that your son has created?' The young man said in his mind, thinking back to the man that he told his deepest secret about.
"This young hot shot seems to be creating his dueling style, different compared to his father's". Claude told his boss, getting Declan's attention as he looked up at the monitor as it showed Yuya speaking to news reporters with a nervous look. "Yusho Sakaki vanished 3 years ago. And now his son is suddenly using a radical new method of Summoning. There's more here than meets the eye". The young president said to his right-hand man, eyeing Yuya greatly before the monitor shut off.
"Prepare a background report on this kid. Leave nothing out. Any facts that relate to Pendulum Summoning, no matter how small, should be reported to me immediately". Declan told his trusted friend as he stood up from his chair, eager to find out more about Yuya and how he created Pendulum Summoning.
(Standard Spirit World)
In the skies above the mainland of the Spirit World, Star-Eyes Savior Dragon was flying around, crying out in joy as he enjoyed himself. "This is amazing! I've never felt power like this before!" The Synchro Pendulum Monster cried out in joy, before he spun around higher into the air. "I'm glad to see that you're enjoying your gift so much". A familiar voice said in a pleased tone, getting Star-Eyes to look down to see his mentor, Stardust Dragon flying in the air below him with his arms crossed.
"Master!" Star-Eyes exclaimed in surprise as he stopped in mid-air, before he flew down in front of Stardust Dragon, who looked at his student with a proud look. "You've passed your final test with flying colours. I have nothing left to teach you". The Signer Dragon told his pupil, who quickly shook his head in response. "That's not true. I still have so much to learn from you!" The Synchro Pendulum Monster exclaimed in denial, before he bowed his head to Stardust Dragon.
"Please… still be my teacher. I want to learn more from you. I beg you, please". Star-Eyes begged his master with a respectful tone. Stardust Dragon had a slight surprise look on his face, before he grew a smile on his face. He lifted his right claw and placed it on top of Star-Eyes Savior Dragon's head. "Very well then. You can remain my student for as long as you like". The Signer Dragon told his pupil, much to his joy as he had a smile directed at Stardust. "Thank you master". Star-Eyes thanked his master with a joyful voice, much to Stardust's amusement as he lifted his claw up from his pupil's head.
"Come now. We must celebrate yours, your comrades and duelist's victory over the Battleguards and their duelist. Let's return to the island. Nightingale is eager to congratulate you". The Signer Dragon told his pupil, getting Star-Eyes' smile to grow even bigger than before. "I better not keep her waiting then!" The Synchro Pendulum Monster exclaimed, before he flew past Stardust Dragon and began heading back to the island. Stardust chuckled in amusement once more, before he flew after his student to return to his temporal home where his adoptive daughters were.
