The streets of Paradise City were filled with its residents, all going about their day in peace. No trouble has happened in this peaceful city, but little did the people of this dimensions know that their days of peace were numbered. The Dimensional War was catching up to them and soon, these days will be memory for a good while.
In an alleyway of the city near the Leo Institute's main building, a teenage boy stood with his back nearly pressed against the wall. The boy had dark goggles and a mask, covering his identity completely. His hair is close to a palette swap of Yuya's, black in the back with light purple in the front. Unlike Yuya, whose hair lies flat, his hair sweeps upward and to the right side of his head.
For clothes; he's wearing a punk-style outfit, with a dull green formal shirt, dark blue tie, as well as a black cape-like garment with ripped sleeves and edges plus dark blue pants and black boot-like shoes. He's also wearing a choker and wristbands, his bands are a matching set—black with silver studs. This unknown boy, like Yusei, was wearing a belt with two Deck holsters on each side. He also sports a red scarf tied around his upper right arm that is partially hidden by his sleeve and a larger red scarf around his neck.
This unknown male was staring right at LID's building through his goggles. He then broke away and held up his left hand to stare at a badge he was holding. It was a LID badge, something that students of the Leo Institute get when they join the school. How this guy has one is a mystery right now.
The black and purple-haired male closed his hand over the badge and gripped it hard in anger. He then returned his gaze towards the largest tower of Paradise City with a hidden determined expression. '...Lulu... I'll save you, no matter what. Just hang on a little longer, please'. This boy thought to himself, thinking of the girl he fell in love with and broke the heart of.
This teenage boy wasn't a stranger, he was actually a resident from the Xyz Dimension that's come here to Standard. But he wasn't some random guy, it was Lulu's ex-boyfriend; Yuto, Yuya's Xyz counterpart, the Xyz fragment of Zarc and the owner of Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, one of the Supreme King's four pieces. His arrival here was a sign that these times of peace were beginning to fade, and the war was soon to come for this dimension.
(Meanwhile inside the Leo Institute's tower/ Play Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - An Exciting Duel - OST EXTENDED)
In a random room of the Leo Institute; a duel was going on right now between Sylvio and his friend; Kakimoto. Their other friends; Ootomo and Yamabe were watching from the sidelines as the two practiced against each other. All four males were wearing their school uniforms since they had come straight here from school, thus had no time to change into something more comfortable.
Sylvio and Kakimoto stood 10 feet away from each other, both holding their left arms up with activated Standard Dimension Duel Disks on the forearms. Kakimoto's one was red with an orange blade, nothing really too special about it. Right now; Kakimoto had a single card in his hand with the Ritual Monster; Demise, King of Armageddon on his field as the only monster out.
Sylvio had a single card in hand as well, yet not a single monster or face-down card on his field. In the matter of Life Points; both Sylvio and Kakimoto had 1500 Life Points with it being a tie so far. Yet that was about to change because it was Sylvio's turn now.
Sylvio Life Points: 1500/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
Kakimoto Life Points: 1500/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
Demise, King of Armageddon ATK: 2400/ Level: 8.
Sylvio brought his left arm up to in front of himself, then gazed down at the top card of his deck. "My turn now!" He declared, before taking hold of the top card of his deck. "I draw!" Sylvio exclaimed, drawing the card in a dramatic fashion by throwing his right hand out. Sylvio looked through the corner of his right eye, then held up the card to take a look at what it is.
What he saw made Sylvio grow a confident smirk, before holding the card out. "In order to Summon this monster, I need to banish 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from my Graveyard!" The Ritual Duelist exclaimed, right as Evening Twilight Knight and Beginning Knight's cards slotted out of his Duel Disk's Graveyard Zone. "I banish both Evening Twilight Knight and Beginning Knight from my Graveyard!" Sylvio declared, then turned the card over to reveal it was Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End.
"Now to show yourself! Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End!" Sylvio exclaimed, before swiping his hand over the blade and placing the card down on it. A portal appeared behind Sylvio on the ground, before a glowing dragon emerged from it. Once it has fully emerged, the light glowing dragon released a mighty roar, blowing away the light that covered its form and revealed it is Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End.
Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End ATK: 3000/ Level: 8.
"At this moment, both Evening Twilight Knight and Beginning Knight's special abilities activate! Since they were banished, I can now add a Ritual Monster and one Ritual Spell card from the deck to my hand!" Sylvio explained, right as two cards slotted out of his deck. He took hold of them with his right hand, then held them out to reveal they're the Ritual Monster; Black Luster Soldier and Ritual Spell; Black Luster Ritual.
"And I think I'll use them right away! I activate Black Luster Ritual!" Sylvio declared, right as the Ritual Spell card started gleaming a bright light. "And the monster I use to tribute is Black Luster Solider - Sacred Soldier!" He continued, bringing up the sole card in his left hand and turned it over, revealing it was indeed Black Luster Solider - Sacred Soldier.
The Black Luster Ritual appeared in front of Sylvio, before both pots were set aflame. Then, Black Luster Solider - Sacred Soldier appeared in front of the ritual, right before the flames shot out and wrapped around the Warrior-Type monster, concealing it from view. The ritual then disappeared, before Sylvio held his right hand up into the air in a dramatic style. "Ritual Summon! Appear! Level 8! Black Luster Soldier!" The Ritual Duelist cried out to the heavens, right as the flames cleared to reveal Black Luster Soldier in Black Luster Solider - Sacred Soldier's place, holding both sword and shield up.
Black Luster Soldier ATK: 3000/ Level: 8.
"Time to brawl! Black Luster Soldier, attack Demise, King of Armageddon!" Sylvio commanded, throwing his right hand out with the index finger pointed directly at Kakimoto's Ritual Monster. Black Luster Soldier let out a battle cry, before flying forward to Demise, and then ascended into the air. It then dived down, and...
Slice!
Swung its blade down on Demise, slicing it in half as Black Luster Soldier landed on its knees. The Ritual Monster then leaped away, right before Demise exploded. Kakimoto shielded himself with both arms from the shockwaves that hit him, managing to remain on his feet. (3000 - 2400 = 600)
Kakimoto Life Points: 1500 - 600 = 900.
"I'm not done gust yet! Now Chaos Emperor Dragon, attack directly and end this!" Sylvio commanded the Dragon-Type monster, throwing his right open hand out. Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End opened its mouth and let out a mighty roar at Kakimoto, the force of it blowing him off his feet and crashing down on his back.
Kakimoto Life Points: 900 - 3000 = 0.
Winner: Sylvio!
A screen appeared; displaying an image of Sylvio with the words "Win" underneath, announcing him as the winner. Black Luster Soldier and Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End dispersed in particles, before Sylvio's Duel Disk deactivated.
Yamabe and Ootomo both appeared speechless at Sylvio's victory over Kakimoto. "Nice play". Ootomo remarked, truly amazed with the skills his friend has to pull a win like that. Sylvio cracked a smirk at Ootomo's words and was about to play it cool, but didn't get the chance.
The door's room slide open, catching everyone's attention as they looked and saw Cera enter the room with an unimpressed face. She wasn't wearing her normal outfit and instead, had a school uniform of Paradise Prep School on. It was exactly like how Zuzu's school uniform was, only without a music mark and instead had a tyrannosaurus mark instead.
"The cards were well-played, but you and your deck were out of sync". The Evo Duelist said as if she were stating a fact. Sylvio and his friends all frowned at Cera, but she wasn't done yet. "Your strategy is the same as before. You haven't made a change whatsoever since we dueled against Yuya Sakaki and Lulu Obsidian. You haven't trained at all, have you?" She questioned her peer in the Leo Institute, crossing both arms as she spoke.
"What was that!? I don't need to train, I'm at the top of my game! And what do you mean out of sync with my deck?!" The Ritual Duelist snapped at Cera, which she just continued to stare at him with an unimpressed face. "You may have used different cards, but the moves were the same, like I said". Cera began to explain, then tilted her head to gaze at Kakimoto, just as he was getting back up on his feet.
"If you were in sync with your deck completely, you wouldn't have had trouble against someone like Kakimoto, especially losing 2500 life points". The Evo Duelist continued, much to Kakimoto's displeasure at hearing this. "Hey!" He cried out in protest, yet Cera just ignored him and returned her attention to Sylvio. "Kakimoto is the most unskilled one of your little boyband, and you even had trouble against him". The teenage girl continued on, much to Sylvio's annoyance.
"It's not a boyband! And do you have to be so blunt about it?!" The Ritual Duelist exclaimed, which Cera gave a scoff. "I was raised by my drill sergeant dad, and he never pulled his punches with me! So, I won't pull mine with you lot!" She snapped at Sylvio, getting him to flinch a bit. He and his little band grumbled, making no attempt to force Cera out because she'd kick their assess without trouble.
Cera swiped her left hand out and pointed at Sylvio with the index finger. "I'll admit that you're skilled and know how to use those cards of yours, but that's it. If you keep at it like this, you'll be left behind". The Evo Duelist told Sylvio, much to his anger at hearing this. "Says you! I bet I could take you down without a problem!" He snapped at her, yet she just raised an eyebrow at him. "Is that a challenge? Then bring it on". She said with a smirk, bringing up her left hand and gave the hand sigh "bring it on" at Sylvio.
15 minutes later; an explosion went off in the room, followed by Sylvio getting blasted into the air with a cry. The teenage male cried out as gravity did its things and he came crashing down on the floor on his back.
Sylvio Life Points: 1000 - 2500 = 0.
Winner: Cera!
Standing 10 feet away was Cera, Duel Disk equipped and activated. And floating right behind her was a new Xyz Monster called "Evolzar Lars", a black Dragon-Type Xyz Monster with red eyes. A screen then appeared, displaying an of Cera with the words "Win" underneath, announcing her as the winner. Evolzar Lars dispersed in particles, before Cera's Duel Disk deactivated and she crossed both arms.
To the side; Kakimoto, Yamabe and Ootomo stood with all three of them watching with wide eyes at seeing Sylvio's rather one-sided defeat. Sylvio only managed 1000 points of damage to Cera, but she's managed to completely cut him off on every single move he made. Her new cards were especially helpful.
"Whoa... She's really one tough cookie, isn't she?" Kakimoto said to his friends, eyes stuck on Cera as he spoke. "She is. Why isn't she the top student in the Xyz Course, anyway?" Yamabe asked with a curious voice, certain that Cera was just as good, if not better than the current top student of the Leo Institute's Xyz Course. "From what I've heard, it's because she isn't interested in being the top duelist". Ootomo answered his friend, having heard some rumors about Cera from other Xyz students of their Duel School.
Sylvio groaned in frustration as he sat up from the ground, utterly enraged at how he was defeated so easily using legendary cards. "How? How could I have been defeated so easily using rare cards like the Black Luster Soldier deck?" He questioned, head tilted down and staring at his deck that was still slotted in the Duel Disk. "Rare cards are powerful, but what matters is how a Duelist uses their cards". Cera answered, walking forward and stopped right in front of the down teenage boy.
Sylvio looked up at Cera and saw her staring down at him with a disappointed frown. "Yusei Fudo and Lulu Obsidian are perfect examples of that. They used low Level monsters with low ATK Points to defeat experience Duelists like The Sledgehammer. Yusei's magnificent victory changed this city and even you. But now after reaching this level, you've lost all motivation on getting stronger. The city's still changing and if you don't change that, you'll be left behind". The Evo Duelist told Sylvio with a stern voice, before she turned her back to him and walked away.
Sylvio watched her walk away and out of the room, leaving him with his friends. Sylvio grunted in frustration, right hand turning into a fist to express his frustrations. 'There's no way that she's right! I'm just having an off day, I know it! The next guy I face, I'll completely destroy without a problem!' The Ritual Duelist shouted out in his head, certain that Cera was wrong about him. And he'll prove it in his next duel against whoever challenges him.
The day's entering its afternoon hours with the sun beginning to set. Inside the You Show Duel School's conference room; Yuya, Lulu, Rin, Tate, Frederick and Sora were all seated on the couches around the table with Yusei's suitcase placed on it, opened and revealing all the cards inside.
Yuya was sitting on the left couch on the middle with Lulu seated beside him on his right, while Sora was on Yuya's right. Rin, Tate and Frederick were sitting across them with the Windwitch Duelist sitting down in the middle. Not to mention that Yuya, Lulu and Rin were all wearing their casual outfits, having changed out of their school uniforms earlier in the day to be more comfortable.
They had finished with their Duel School's training course not too long ago and now, they were just relaxing with Yuya going over the cards in Yusei's suitcase for any Fusion support cards with Sora helping him. And speaking of Satellite's Shooting Star, he's already left the Duel School with Serenity to drop her off at home and to do some grocery shopping. And Skip has already gone home, having something to take care of there. Gong didn't come over today, too busy at his father's Duel School. And as for Zuzu and Allie, they went out earlier to get some ice cream after their rather intense workout.
So, these six were the only ones here at the Duel School currently, just relaxing and waiting for Yuzu and Allie to get back with their ice cream. Yuya was holding five cards with his right hand, and a single one with his left one, paying no attention to everyone watching him. Instead, the Odd-Eyes Duelist's focus was on the card he's holding with his left hand. It is a Spell card called "Fusion Deployment", a support Fusion card for most Fusion users, but not him.
'Normally, this card would be great help for Fusion Duelists, but not me. My Fusion Monster doesn't require a mentioned monster for its Summon. Meaning that this card isn't any good for me'. Yuya thought to himself, then turned his gaze over to the five cards he's holding with the right hand. They were Fusion cards as well; the two on the left were Fusion Recovery, Future Fusion and the two on the right were Dragon's Mirror and De-Fusion. All four were good cards, but it was the third card that had Yuya's attention.
The Quick-Play Spell card; Super Polymerization.
It was a powerful card that Yuya's never heard of before. Not only were its effects unique, but it could work for his deck. Out of all the cards he's seen so far, this was the best one. Yuya quickly hid it in his hand so that Sora wouldn't notice because he's certain he'll go crazy for a powerful card like that. He'll add it to his deck once the coast is clear. But for now, he'll just continue going through the Fusion cards in Yusei's briefcase.
"So? Find anything interesting, Yuya?" Sora asked with a curious voice, both arms folded behind his head as he leaned back a bit. Yuya turned to look at the younger male, then gave a slightly nervous smile. "I-I found some Fusion cards that are interesting, but none of them have clicked for me just yet". The Odd-Eyes Duelist answered, trying to sound normal as he speaks. He didn't want to give away the card he found to be the perfect card for his Fusions, away.
"Really? I thought you'd find some by now. Well, when you're done with the one you've already found, let me check them out. Maybe there's a good few I could use". Sora said with a grin, interested to see the Fusion cards that Satellite's Shooting Star keeps in his briefcase.
Lulu slightly widen her eyes in alarm at Sora's words, yet remained silent. With Sora staying here as a student of the You Show Duel School, it was a bit hard for her and Rin to act normal like before since they know the truth about him. Yusei was managing somehow to act normal around Sora, yet it was proving to be a bit challenging for the sisters. For now, all she can do is act natural and hopefully keep Sora from learning as much as possible.
The Mistress of Birds placed her left arm on Yuya's right forearm, grabbing his attention. He turned to look at Lulu and saw her smiling nervously. "Actually, we should just stop going through these cards after you're done with them them. We're technically going through Yusei's stuff without asking him, after all". Lulu suggested to the Odd-Eyes Duelist, hoping that Yuya will agree with her on this. Yusei has given everyone permission long ago that they could go through his briefcase in search of cards they need in the future, but Sora didn't know that and hopefully, he won't take any of the cards inside it.
Yuya gave the purple-haired girl a confused look, but before he could speak, Rin beat him to it. "Lulu's right, we shouldn't be going through Yusei's things. Besides, he said that only us can go through the cards here. Sora's new here, so that doesn't mean he's free to go through this stuff". The Witch of the Wind stated, gesturing to Sora with her right hand.
Sora grumbled at her, while Yuya blinked in realization. Yusei trusted them with going through his stuff, but Sora was a new member and thus, didn't have Yusei's trust just yet. The Odd-Eyes Duelist turned to Sora and gave an apologetic smile. "Sorry Sora, but the girls are right. Yusei's fine with us going through all of this, but I think he's gonna be a little ticked off if he learns you went through his stuff". The Odd-Eyes Duelist told his new friend, much to Sora's grumbling annoyance.
Yuya put Fusion Recovery, Fusion Deployment, Future Fusion, Dragon's Mirror and De-Fusion away in the briefcase, then closed it, all the while managing to keep Super Polymerization hidden. "Hey? When are Zuzu and Allie gonna get back?" Tate asked with a curious voice, grabbing everyone's attention. "Yeah. I'm craving for ice cream". Frederick groaned out, wrapping both arms around his own stomach right as it let out a loud grumbling sound.
"They have been out for a while now. Do you think something happened to them?" Rin asked, turning to look directly at Yuya. The Odd-Eyes Duelist shrugged his shoulders, then turned to Lulu. "I'm sure they're fine. Just taking their time without rushing". The Mistress of Birds said with a soft voice, certain that their friends were doing all right out there.
Yuya gave a nod to Lulu. He was certain that Zuzu and Allie were alright out there because one; Zuzu was a skilled Duelist and two; she had that dreaded fan of hers that could give anyone the smack down. He's experienced that himself in the past, and it hurt. So, if anyone tried anything with her, they'll be sorry.
(With Zuzu and Allie/ Play Overlord Season 3 - Sisters OST -)
Zuzu and Allie were walking down by the riverside next to a blue bridge of the city. The Melodious Duelist was carrying a white bag full of ice cream for them and the others at their Duel School. "Oh man, I can't believe how intense the training course is now compared to 3 months ago. It's five times more intense". Zuzu remarked, then winced at feeling her side sting a bit from sore muscles.
Allie nodded with a nervous smile, mentally agreeing with her on that. Thanks to some help from Yusei, the training course has intensified greatly and working better than ever. But much to the dread of her, Zuzu, Allie and Tate, it leaves them all exhausted and sore. The only exceptions were Yuya, Lulu, Rin and Sora since they were somehow able to keep up and not lose their breath at the intense training.
Zuzu was kinda sore about it because it showed that Lulu and Rin were more fit than her. Still though, the drawbacks were very good for everyone since they're getting faster, stronger and more aware than how they used to be. Just like the old saying, "No pain, no game".
Just then; both females overheard a conversation up ahead. Zuzu and Allie looked up at the road above to see Ootomo and Yamabe with both of them carrying a white bag and a Chinese box. Allie gasped, but quickly placed both hands over her mouth to not alert them. Zuzu narrowed her eyes at the two, recognizing them as two of Sylvio's friends.
Yuya and the others had told her what happened, and how Sylvio tried to steal Yuya's Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician, but thankfully a girl named Cera stopped him and helped them. Still, that didn't change the fact that Sylvio tried to steal cards from her childhood friend. One thing she's learned from Yusei is that a Duelist's deck was their treasure and that nobody should ever steal even a single card. So, to hear someone tried to steal, from Yuya especially, ticked her off.
So, she remained quiet and listened in on their conversation. "Do you really think Cera's right and that Sylvio's been slacking off?" Ootomo asked Yamabe with a curious voice, honestly disturbed with what Cera said to Sylvio earlier in the day. "Don't be ridiculous! He's just been unlucky lately, that's all!" The green-haired boy snapped at his friend, then faced forward with an arrogant smirk.
"Next time, he'll destroy Yuya Sakaki! That guy only won because he had his girlfriend helping him, so there's no way he'll win against Sylvio on his own!" Yamabe exclaimed with a confident voice, certain that Sylvio was a better duelist than Yuya. "I hope you're right. Who am I kidding? Of course, Sylvio's better, and he's gonna prove that tomorrow!" Ootomo exclaimed with a smirk, getting a laugh from his friend.
"That's what I like to hear! Next time Sylvio will win against Yuya Sakaki, and we'll make sure of it!" Yamabe cried out cheerfully, immediately catching Zuzu's full attention at what he said. "It isn't gonna be pretty for Yuya, it'll be devastating!" Ootomo laughed out with Yamabe joining him. Their laughter quickly died down and was replaced with dread. "Of course, it could get pretty devastating for us too if we're any later to delivering Sylvio's launch". The brown-haired male said in a nervous tone, before both he and his friend took off in a run.
Allie had a horrified face at hearing what they're planning to do to Yuya. Zuzu, on the other hand, had a determined face. She looked down at Allie, then spoke. "Allie..." She began, catching the red-haired girl's attention as she looked over to the older female. She handed the grocery bag over to a confused Allie, who stared down at it in confusion. "Get back to You Show, I'll handle this". The Melodious Duelist told her friend, much to Allie's shock at hearing this.
"But Zuzu, Sylvio's tough! He plays using a deck of Black Luster Soldier and his friends are gonna be there with him!" The red-haired girl said in great concern for Zuzu, remembering how difficult an opponent Sylvio was for Yuya and Lulu. Zuzu turned to face the direction that Sylvio's two lackeys took off in with a determined face, ready to face legendary monsters.
"I know. But still, I have to do this". The pink-haired teenager stated, before she lowered her head in shame. "I... I've been nothing but a jerk to Yusei, Lulu and Rin ever since they came into our lives. I even started treating Yuya like a stranger and didn't listen to anyone. All I cared about was how Yuya was changing because of them, and that he was growing so close to Lulu". Zuzu explained to Allie, bringing up her right hand and stared at it.
She turned it into a fist, clenching it in determination. "That's why I want to make things right with them. And if that means facing 4 guys on my own, then I'll do it!" She exclaimed, lifting her head up show the resolve in her eyes. Allie stared at Zuzu in awe, the older girl's words resonating with her as if they were words from a hero.
Zuzu turned her gaze over to Allie, then gave a reassuring smile. "I'll be fine. You just head on back to the others and tell them what's happening". The Melodious Duelist told Allie, turning around to face her and got down on her right knee. "I can handle Sylvio. I haven't slacked off at all these last 2 months. I've learned a few new tricks that you haven't seen yet". She added, then gave a wink with her left eye.
Allie smiled at the older female, then nodded to her. "Okay. Be careful and kick Sylvio's butt!" The red-haired female cried out, throwing her right fist into the air. Zuzu giggled, right as Allie turned to her right and took off running to the You Show Duel School to inform Yuya and the others what happened.
Zuzu watched her go for 5 seconds, before she turned in the direction that Ootomo and Yamabe took off in. Zuzu climbed back up on her feet and turned around. She took a deep breath, then breathed out to let out all her doubts. The teenage girl then ran down the street, headed in the same direction that Sylvio's friends took off in.
(At the harbor of Paradise City)
At the city's harbor; Yuto stood atop one of the warehouse's roofs, staring directly at the Leo Institute's tower once more. He paid no mind to what's going on down below on the streets, like the fact that Ootomo and Yamabe walked up to one of the warehouses and opened it. "Hey Sylvio, sorry we're late! It won't happen again!" Ootomo apologized, staring directly at the middle of the room.
Sylvio was sitting down on a couch in a rather arrogant way with a table in front of him. On the other side was Kakimoto, sitting down on a small box with a frown. "Let us make it up to you! How about we feed you? Maybe chew your food for you?" Yamabe offered, walking up to the table with Ootomo right behind him.
Outside the warehouse; Zuzu stood with her back against a few boxes, listening in on the conversation going on inside. The pink-haired female narrowed her eyes, thinking back to what happened on that day she dueled Yusei. 'I should have been there to help. If it wasn't for that Cera girl, Lulu, Allie, Tate and Frederick could have been in danger. I know everything worked out, but I can't help feeling responsible. That's why I'm gonna make it up to them and handle this on my own'. The Melodious Duelist thought, bringing up her right fist to express her determination.
Zuzu ran out from behind the boxes and up to the warehouse. But her loud footsteps caught Yuto's attention, due to his sharp hearing thanks to his experience on the battlefield. He turned around and saw Zuzu in front of the warehouse, then widen both eyes behind the goggles at seeing her. "No way...! Lulu?!" He stuttered out, feeling both great relief and incredible shame at seeing Zuzu, mistaking her for Lulu.
The relief he was feeling was because Yuto thought that Lulu was safe and far away from Duel Academy. Guilt because of his greatest mistake that broke Lulu's heart, trust and faith in him. Yuto wanted nothing more than to go back to that day and save his sister from her fate and change what happened between him and Lulu. But he was no fool, nothing could change the past. They can only live with the present.
'I can't change what happened, but I can change what will happen'. The Xyz fragment of the Supreme King thought, then brought up his right arm with an Xyz Dimension Duel Disk in hand with the cloak opening up a little. Yuto brought his Duel Disk and equipped it to the left forearm. The Xyz Duelist held up his deck, then slotted it into the device's deck zone.
Back inside the warehouse; Sylvio grinned as he held up a pie. He opened his mouth and was just about to take a bite, when all of a sudden, the warehouse door was slammed open. He started coughing because a piece he just managed to eat, got stuck in his throat. Ootomo quickly gave him a bottle of water to help him, while Kakimoto and Yamabe turned to look at their unexpected visitor.
To their surprise; it was Zuzu, but they mistook her for Lulu. "What the!? Lulu Obsidian!?" Kakimoto exclaimed, getting a groan of annoyance from Zuzu at how she was confused for Lulu again. 'Honestly! Is it really that hard to tell us apart? She's got longer hair than me and I do it up in pigtails, while she has it tied up now!' The pink-haired female shouted out in her head, truly annoyed with this old thing.
Thankfully; Yamabe realized that Zuzu wasn't Lulu and corrected his friend. "Nah man, that's not that bird girl. Her name's Zuzu Boyle, she just looks like Lulu Obsidian". The green-haired male told Kakimoto, much to his confusion at hearing this. "Huh? But they look exactly alike. You sure they're not just sisters?" The brown-haired male asked with a confused voice, taking a good look at Zuzu and compared her to Lulu.
Before Yamabe could answer, Sylvio finished drinking his water and let out a loud grunt. He quickly got up on his feet and turned to face Zuzu with an annoyed face. "Hey! What's the big idea coming in here like that!? I almost choked for crying out loud!" The Ritual Duelist snapped at Zuzu, yet she didn't care about that.
"I heard what your lackeys said, about how you're planning to get pay back on Yuya for what happened!" The pink-haired girl exclaimed, taking 10 steps forward into the warehouse with her eyes locked on Sylvio. The Ritual Duelist widen his eyes in alarm, before he turned to look at Ootomo and Yamabe. Both of them were just as surprised at him, having never noticed her or Allie listening in on them earlier.
Sylvio gave a small, mentally exhausted sight, before turning around to face Zuzu. "Okay, yes! I'm planning to get back at Yuya and get his Pendulum cards! Once I do, I'll be-!" He began, only to stop from noticing how Zuzu was staring at him with an annoyed frown. "What?! What is it?!" Sylvio questioned with an irritated voice, wondering why she was staring at him like that for.
"Ummm, Sylvio?" Kakimoto spoke up, catching Sylvio's attention as he turned to look at him. "You got a bit of pie there". The brown-haired man added, pointing to his own right cheek. Sylvio widen his eyes in surprise, then gazed down and indeed saw a bit of crumbs there. Ootomo quickly held a handkerchief for Sylvio to take, which he did with his right hand. He quickly wiped the crumbs away, cleaning his cheek.
Sylvio let out a pleased sigh, then threw the handkerchief into the air dramatically. It quickly fell to the floor, before Ootomo retrieved it and put it away in his pocket. "Anyway, as I was saying-" The Ritual Duelist began, only to be cut off by Zuzu. "I don't care about whatever you were gonna say! I only came here to give you a warning!" Zuzu stated, much to Sylvio's irritation at how she interrupted him.
"Oh yeah?! Well, what is this warning?" Sylvio asked with an annoyed voice, crossing both arms as he spoke. "Whatever it is you're planning to do with Yuya or Lulu, don't even think about it. Or else I'll teach you a lesson personally". Zuzu told the Leo Institute student, before she held up her Duel Disk with the right hand. Sylvio gave a chuckle at seeing this, then fully turned to face her.
"You're threatening to beat me in a duel? You can't be serious, right? I have a deck of the legendary Black Luster Soldier, there's no way you can defeat me". Sylvio said with an arrogant voice, sweeping his hair back with the right hand like he was a celebrity. "I know. But from what I've heard and seen so far, you let that fact get to your head". Zuzu said with both eyes narrowed dangerously, catching the Ritual Duelist by surprise at what she said.
"Beg your pardon?" Sylvio questioned, wondering what she meant by that. "You're flaunting around the fact you have a deck of legendary monsters, but that's it. One of the lessons I've learned is that it isn't the cards that makes a Duelist great, it's how you use them. And with how you tried to steal Yuya's cards, you're not a true duelist". Zuzu answered, much to Sylvio's great rage at hearing this.
"You got some nerve saying that! All anyone needs to do to be a Duelist is have a deck and Duel Disk! That's all it takes, nothing else!" Sylvio snapped at Zuzu, which she gave a sigh of disappointment. "How Yuya ever struggled against you is a mystery to me. I'll show you what it means to be a real Duelist". The pink-haired female said, holding up her left forearm and placed her Duel Disk on.
Sylvio let out a scoff at her words, before he brought out his Duel Disk and placed it on his left forearm. "You're welcome to try, but this is gonna end with you down on the ground, defeated". The Ritual Duelist said with a confident voice, before he walked around and stopped 10 feet away from Zuzu. Kakimoto walked over to the warehouse's doors and closed it, but Zuzu didn't pay it any attention. Her only focus was on Sylvio right now.
Sylvio gave an arrogant smirk, before holding up his deck of cards with the right hand. "Now, let's see who's really the one the one blowing out hot air". The Ritual Duelist said, before inserting his deck into the Duel Disk. He let go of the deck, which started shuffling right away for a moment or two, before it stopped. "Prepare to feel the wrath of the legendary Black Luster Soldier!" Sylvio exclaimed dramatically, throwing his left hand into the air and then brought it down, holding it out towards Zuzu.
"I'm ready... to kick your butt". The pink-haired female stated, bringing out her deck and held it up. But just as she was about to insert the deck, Kakimoto suddenly cried out in pain, catching everyone's attention. They all turned to look at the entrance and saw something rather unexpected, right as Kakimoto crashed on the ground behind Zuzu.
(Play Shingeki No Kyojin Opening 1)
The warehouse door was opened just a little, and Yuto stood right outside. The Xyz Duelist's goggles and mask hid his face from everyone inside, avoiding causing confusion for them all, at least for now.
Yuto walked inside, his footsteps the only sound in the suddenly quiet warehouse. Once he was 3 feet away from Zuzu, he spoke. "I'll take care of this. Stand back". The black and purple-haired male told Zuzu with a protective voice, right as he walked past and stopped in front of her, now facing Sylvio. "Huh?" The pink-haired female gasped in confusion and surprise at Yuto.
"Hold on! You can't just-!" Zuzu spoke, only to stop when Yuto spoke up. "I have some business of my own with him. Or more exact, with the Leo Institute". The black and purple-haired male said, staring right at Sylvio's badge on his left collar.
Kakimoto climbed up on his feet, then ran around Yuto and Zuzu over to his friends. "Just showing up all of a sudden, are you supposed to be some kind of knight that has come to save the princess?" Sylvio questioned the Xyz Duelist, his Duel Disk activating with the blade materializing.
Yuto narrowed his eyes at what Sylvio said, then shook his head. "I'm no knight. I've lost every single right to that word". The Xyz fragment of Z-arc told Sylvio, much to his confusion at what he said. Before Sylvio could open his mouth to question him on what he meant; Yuto threw out his left arm out, Duel Disk equipped, with the cloak blowing a bit.
Yuto brought his arm to in front of him. The Xyz Dimension Duel Disk activated, right before a black and purple edge blade materialized. The device's screen lit up with the words "Standby" appearing, followed by a yellow line going around the circle shaped screen. The dark background lit up, showing two different fields across each other with the opponent's one having the words "Enemy" on it.
Sylvio and Zuzu frowned at seeing Yuto's Duel Disk, their being their first time at seeing a model like it. "Never seen a Duel Disk like that before. It's different from the one that girl used". The Leo Institute student muttered to himself, then glared at Yuto. "Okay, so I guess you'll be dueling for her then?" Sylvio questioned Z-arc's Xyz fragment piece, much to Zuzu's alarm at hearing this.
"Not a chance! This is my battle to fight! And I fully plan on fighting it!" Zuzu exclaimed with a strong voice, bringing up her left arm again and was just a second away from activating the Duel Disk. However, Yuto stopped her by grabbing hold of Zuzu's arm with his right one. Zuzu turned to look at the Xyz Duelist and saw his right eye through the goggles he's wearing.
"I won't risk you getting hurt ever again". Yuto told Zuzu with unmatched conviction in his voice, not convinced that this girl he's protecting wasn't his ex-girlfriend. Zuzu let out a low gasp because those words Yuto said somehow struck her heart. "Huh?" She uttered, cheeks slightly turning red.
Zuzu lowered her left arm, and Yuto let go at seeing she wasn't gonna argue with him on this. He turned his gaze over to Sylvio and saw the Ritual Duelist smirking with arrogance. "Alrighty then, let's do this Mr. Mystery. But once I win, you gotta remove that mask". Sylvio told Yuto, which he gave no response. Sylvio's right eye twitched at Yuto's lack of words, but kept his cool.
"I'll just go ahead and take your brooding silence as a "yes" then". Sylvio said with a confident voice, bringing his left arm in front of himself. "Now then... Ready or not". He added, right as Zuzu and his friends took a few steps back. "Let's Duel!" The two cried out as they drew the top five cards of their deck, officially starting the duel between them.
Yuto Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
Sylvio Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
"The first move is mine". Yuto stated, taking the first move of the game. "By all means, go ahead". Sylvio told his opponent with a smug voice, right as Yuto took a single card and held it up. "I'll start off by Summoning The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm". The Xyz Duelist declared, before placing the card over his Duel Disk's blade.
A portal appeared beside Yuto on his right, right before the monster emerged. It was a silver knight helmet with two floating metal gauntlets, blue flames of some sort coming out from inside of them as if they were spirits possessing these items.
The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm ATK: 1500/ Level: 4.
"Then I'll end my turn by placing 3 cards face-down". Yuto declared, holding up three cards with the right hand before he inserted them all into his Duel Disk. Three face-down cards materialized on Yuto's field, right behind Cloven Helm.
(Music end)
Sylvio Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
Sylvio gave a scoff at seeing at seeing Yuto's move, not the least bit impressed. "Is that really the best you can do? It's pretty obvious that you want me to attack, so that you can activate one of those face-down cards. Hate to break it to ya pal, but that was a move of an amateur". Sylvio mocked Yuto for his move, very confident to say that he had this duel in the bag. "Instead of running your mouth off, play your cards". Yuto told the Ritual Duelist with an uninterested voice, much to Sylvio's annoyance.
(Meanwhile at the You Show Duel School)
Back with everyone in the You Show Duel School building, they were all waiting patiently for Zuzu and Allie to return, but were starting to get worried. Yuya was standing up now, going through his deck of cards that he was holding now. Lulu, Rin and Tate were seated on the left couch now, the Mistress of Birds giving her younger peer some dueling advice, while Rin was reading a book that she was holding with both arms. Frederick and Sora were sitting down on the other couch, just relaxing.
They've been waiting for a while, but now there were all starting to get worried since Zuzu and Allie were taking more time than normal to get back from the grocery store. They didn't want to jump to conclusions and assume they've gotten into trouble, so they're just trying to keep their minds from wondering to dark places.
Just as Yuya was tired of waiting and about to speak up; Allie came running out of the hallway and headed straight for Yuya. "Yuya!" She exclaimed, but tripped on her feet and began to fall towards the Odd-Eyes Duelist with a cry, the grocery bag slipping from her arms and sent flying. Thankfully with his quick reflexes, Yuya managed to catch Allie in his arms. And as for the grocery bag; Rin held up her right hand and it safely landed on her palm, all without her looking.
Allie groaned as Yuya helped her back on her feet. "Allie, where have you been? And where's Zuzu?" The Odd-Eyes Duelist asked her with a worried voice, while Rin brought the grocery bag down to her lap and look inside. Allie opened her eyes, tears at the edges, and looked at Yuya in worry. "I had to get to you quick. There's big trouble". She informed Yuya, much to his alarm at hearing this.
What Allie said caught the attention of both Lulu and Rin as they looked over to her and Yuya. "What kind of trouble?" Rin asked, passing the grocery bag over to Frederick, who just managed to catch it with both hands. "Is it why Zuzu isn't with you?" Lulu asked as well, standing up from the couch and turned around to look at Yuya and Allie better.
"She went after Sylvio. She went to duel him to protect you!" Allie cried out literally, much to the surprise and concern of Yuya and Lulu at hearing this. Rin, on the other hand, let out an annoyed sigh. "That chump again?" She questioned, before getting up on her feet and turned around. "I thought he learned his lesson already, but looks like I was wrong. Guess I'm gonna have to discipline him myself". The green-haired girl stated, bringing both hands up and cracked her knuckles.
Everybody shivered at the sounds of Rin's knuckles cracking because they knew full well what that means. She's gonna teach Sylvio alright, but in the most painful way possible. 'Sylvio, you better hope we make it on time before you do something to Zuzu, or else there's no saving you from Rin'. Yuya thought to himself, then gave a gulp because he knows from experience that Rin was 5 times stronger and more brutal than his childhood friend.
(Back in the warehouse/ Play High School DxD OST (CD 2) - 20 - Kiki)
Inside the warehouse; Sylvio placed his right hand on top of the top card of his deck. "It's my turn now, and I'll show you how a real Duelist plays! Ha!" Sylvio cried out, drawing the card in a dramatic fashion by throwing his right hand out. He then brought it up to see what he drew, then let out a loud laugh at what he saw. "Hahahaha! Even luck is on my side! Check it out; I activate Harpie's Feather Duster!" The teenage boy called out, holding his card out for Yuto and Zuzu to see.
Zuzu gasped at seeing it, while Yuto gave no reaction whatsoever. Sylvio chuckled as he slotted the card into his Duel Disk, right before a larger copy of it appeared in front of him. "With this Spell card, all of your face-down cards are destroyed instantly. Now that's what I call a masterful move". Sylvio explained with an arrogant grin on his face. "Yeah? Well, I call it you being obvious". Yuto told the Ritual Duelist, getting Sylvio to blink in shock at what he said.
Yuto threw his right hand forward, gesturing to the middle face-down card of his field. "I activate the Trap card; Magic Jammer!" The Xyz Duelist declared, right before the card lifted itself up and gained a dark aura around itself. "With this Trap card; I must discard a card from my hand". Yuto explained Magic Jammer's effect, before holding up the last remaining card in his hand out for Sylvio to see.
"I discard The Phantom Knights of Stained Greaves!" He declared, before discarding it to the Graveyard. Yuto then pointed at Sylvio's Spell card with his right hand's index finger. "Now Magic Jammer, Harpie's Feather Duster!" Yuto exclaimed, right as the dark aura around Magic Jammer's card shot out and engulfed Sylvio's Spell card. In just a moment or two, Harpie's Feather Duster was destroyed.
Sylvio gritted his teeth at seeing right, right as the dark aura and Yuto's Magic Jammer Trap card both disappeared. He turned to face Yuto to speak, only to stop upon noticing something with Yuto's monster, how it was powering up.
The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm ATK: 1500 + 500 = 2000.
"Hey, why'd your monster's ATK Points go up like that?" Sylvio questioned Yuto with a confused voice, wondering how Cloven Help powered up like that. "Because of his special ability. Every time a Phantom Knights card is sent to the Graveyard, my Cloven Helm gains 500 ATK Points. I sent Stained Greaves to the Grave through Magic Jammer's effect, thus Cloven Helm's effect activated". The Xyz Duelist answered, much to Sylvio's annoyance at hearing this.
Sylvio regrew the arrogant smirk he had a few seconds ago. "Very impressive, but it won't matter in a moment". He stated, before taking a single card from his hand and held it out. "I activate the Ritual Spell; Super Soldier Ritual!" The L.I.D Duelist exclaimed, holding the Ritual card out before slotting it into his Duel Disk.
A ritual seal appeared on the ground below him, followed by two platforms on Slyvio's left and right. Zuzu gasped at seeing this, while Yuto gave no reaction whatsoever. "With this Spell card's power, I can now Ritual Summon any "Black Luster Soldier" Ritual Monster by releasing monsters that's total Levels equal 8". Sylvio explained, before holding up the cards of Gaia, the Midnight Sun and Gaia, the Polar Knight.
"I use Gaia, the Midnight Sun and Gaia, the Polar Knight as tributes for my Ritual Summon!" The brown-haired male declared, before discarding them to the Graveyard. Both Gaia monsters appeared in front of the pillars atop their horses.
The two of them then turned into black and white sparkles, before they went down and entered the Ritual seal underneath. A pillar of black light then shot out of the seal and struck the celling above. "With these two tributes, I Ritual Summon! Level 8! "Come forth; Black Luster Soldier – Super Soldier!" Sylvio cried out to the heavens as the Ritual Monster; Black Luster Soldier – Super Soldier floated out of the pillar of light and glared towards Yuto.
Black Luster Soldier – Super Soldier ATK: 3000/ Level: 8.
Kakimoto, Yamabe and Ootomo all burst into cheers at seeing Sylvio Ritual Summon one of his best monsters on the first time. Zuzu stared at Super Soldier with narrowed eyes, and Yuto still gave no reaction. "But I'm not done just yet! Now I remove the LIGHT Attribute Gaia, the Midnight Sun and DARK Attribute Gaia, the Polar Knight from my Graveyard!" Sylvio declared, right as both monsters reappeared in front of him.
The brown-haired male then held up a card with his right hand's index and middle finger, giving a smirk full of confidence. "In order to Summon this! Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning!" Sylvio declared, flipping the card over and then slammed it down on the Duel Disk's blade.
A black portal appeared behind the Gaia monster, before they turned their horses around and changed into it. The portal flashed brightly for a moment, before it died down to reveal the rare monster, Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning. The Warrior-Type monster floated over to beside Super Soldier with both monsters glaring at Yuto and his Cloven Helm.
Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning ATK: 3000/ Level: 8.
"Hahahaha! That guy's totally done for now!" Kakimoto laughed out, both hands pressed against his hips. "Yeah! Sylvio's got two powerful monsters on his field with 3000 ATK Points". Yamabe remarked, grinning a sly grin that spelled trouble. "Not only that, but both Black Luster Soldier monsters have good abilities that'll deal more than 4000 points of damage in total". Ootomo said with a smirk, confident that Sylvio has this duel in the bag.
"Now, Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier, attack that helmet!" Sylvio commanded his Ritual Monster, pointing towards Cloven Helm with the right hand's index finger. Super Soldier let out a fierce battle cry, before taking off towards Cloven Helm with the intention of destroying it.
"How simple minded". Yuto remarked, before throwing his right hand out. "I activate the Trap card; Phantom Knights' Wing!" He cried out, right as another one of his face-down cards lifted itself up and began glowing. Super Soldier then brought its blade down on Cloven Helm and strike its head, yet it wasn't destroyed. The clash, however, released a powerful gust of wind that forced everyone, except Yuto, to take a step or two back in surprise. (3000 - 2000 = 1000.)
Yuto Life Points: 4000 - 1000 = 3000.
"What the heck was that!? There's no Action Field activated, so how come that happened?" Sylvio questioned with wide eyes of surprise, wondering how a shockwave like that happened when they weren't Action Dueling. 'He's right, what's going on. Something like that isn't meant to happen in a normal duel like this one'. Zuzu thought to herself, noticing the weird phenomenon as well.
Just then, Sylvio took notice that Yuto's Cloven Helm wasn't destroyed, much to his surprise. "Hey?! How come your monster's still around!?" The brown-haired teenager questioned his opponent, wondering why Yuto's monster wasn't destroyed. "It was thanks to my Trap card's effect! It prevents Cloven Helm's destruction and gives it a 500 ATK Point boost". Yuto explained to Sylvio, right as Cloven Helm powered up.
The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm ATK: 2000 + 500 = 2500.
Phantom Knights' Wing's card then disappeared, yet Yuto wasn't done yet. "Since another Phantom Knights card was sent to the Graveyard, Cloven Helm's ability activates and he gains another 500 points". The black and purple-haired male stated, right as Cloven Helm powered up again.
The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm ATK: 2500 + 500 = 3000.
Sylvio grit his teeth in annoyance, while his friends were surprised at this unexpected turn of events. "Ohhh man, that's crazy". Ootomo remarked with wide eyes, honestly taken back by how Yuto turned the tables. "Sylvio can't attack now, or his Black Luster Soldier will be destroyed as well". Kakimoto said in concern, catching Yamabe's attention, before he turned to look at his friend. "Don't worry about it. Sylvio's still got this under control". The green-haired boy stated, then turned back to watching the duel.
"Very impressive, you stopped my range of attacks. But it won't matter in a moment, I activate Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning's special ability!" Sylvio exclaimed, throwing his right hand out. Envoy of the Beginning held its shield up, pointing it at Yuto's only monster. "Since this monster hasn't attacked yet and by giving up its attack, I can banish your helm, so say goodbye!" The brown-haired boy exclaimed with a grin, right as his monster fired a gold beam from its shield.
The beam struck Cloven Helm, and the Phantom Knight burst into black sparkles. Wordlessly, Yuto took his monster's card and put it away in his cloak. "Now you have no monsters left on your field! I'll cut you a break and end my turn here". Sylvio declared his turn over, speaking with an arrogant voice.
(Music end/ Now play Arc-V Sound Duel 2 - 15 - Resistance)
Yuto Life Points: 3000/ Number of cards in hand: 0.
"I draw!" Yuto exclaimed, drawing the top card of his deck in a dramatic fashion. He brought the card up to see what it was, before holding it out. "I activate the Spell card; Pot of Greed!" The Xyz Duelist declared, right as the Spell card gleamed brightly. "This card allows me to draw 2 new cards from my deck". He explained the Spell card's effect, before discarding it and drew two more cards.
Yuto held up the two cards and spared them a glance. He pressed the second one down against his palm and held the other one out. "I Summon The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves!" He cried out, then placed the card down on his Duel Disk's blade. A portal appeared on Yuto's left, before The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves emerged from within in.
The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves ATK: 1000/ Level: 3.
"Then I'll activate my Trap card; The Phantom Knights of Tomb Shield!" Yuto declared, right as his final face-down card flipped itself over and began gleaming a bright light. "This Trap Summons itself as a Level 3 Normal monster". He explained his Trap card's effect, right as the Tomb Shield appeared beside Ragged Gloves.
The Phantom Knights of Tomb Shield ATK: 0/ Level: 3.
"So, you got two monsters on your field now. So, what?" Sylvio said with an unimpressed voice, waving his right hand over his right hand. "Uhhh, Sylvio?" Yamabe said nervously, catching Sylvio's attention. He turned to look at his friends and saw them all staring at Yuto's field with nervous expressions. "That guy's monsters are both Level 3 monsters". Kakimoto told the Ritual Duelist, much to his confusion at what he's getting at. "Meaning he can Xyz Summon". Ootomo told Sylvio, now filling him with dread at realizing at what they were warning him about.
Sylvio turned his gaze back to Yuto, who threw his right hand up into the air. "I overlay the Level 3 Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves and Tomb Shield!" The Xyz Duelist cried out to the heavens, right as both monsters transformed into two bright darkish purple lights. They ascended into the air and danced around one another.
"Souls of knights who fell on the battlefield. Revive here and now, and become the light that breaks the darkness! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 3! Phantom Knights of Break Sword!" Yuto chanted as a black galaxy-like portal appeared on the ground in front of him, followed by both black lights descending into it. Lightning came out of the Xyz portal, before the Xyz Monster; The Phantom Knights of Break Sword with two darkish purple overlay units circling around it, emerged from within it.
The Phantom Knights of Break Sword ATK: 2000/ Rank: 3/ Overlay units: 3.
Break Sword crashed down on the ground in front of Yuto, kicking up a bit of dust. Despite the rather intimidating Xyz Monster facing him; Sylvio gave a scoff at Break Sword. "Nice monster you got there, but I'm not impressed. It isn't a match for my monsters". The brown-haired teenager said with a confident grin, not intimidated by Break Sword.
"You have much to learn about Xyz Monsters. Allow me to demonstrate. When Ragged Gloves is used as Xyz Material for a Dark Xyz Monster, it gains 1000 ATK Points until the end of this turn". Yuto informed Sylvio, right as a dark aura appeared over Break Sword and powered it up.
The Phantom Knights of Break Sword ATK: 2000 + 1000 = 3000.
Sylvio broke into a nervous sweat at seeing Break Sword's current ATK Points, but Yuto wasn't done just yet. "Now, I activate the Field-Spell; Xyz Territory!" Yuto exclaimed, holding the Spell card up before inserting it into his Duel Disk. A large copy of Xyz Territory's card appeared on Yuto's field, before he threw his right hand out. "Now Break Sword, attack Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier!" Z-arc's Xyz fragment commanded the Warrior-Type Xyz Monster, much to everyone's surprise at hearing this.
Break Sword's undead horse cried out, before it took off charging towards Sylvio's Super Soldier. "You must really be out of your mind! Both of our monsters will be destroyed and I'll have a clear shot at you next turn!" Sylvio exclaimed with wide eyes, truly taken back by Yuto's play. "That's where you're wrong. Xyz Territory's effect activates!" Yuto exclaimed, right as an orange aura appeared over Break Sword.
"During the damage step when Xyz Monsters fight, Xyz Territory increases the ATK and DEF Points of those monsters by their Rank by 200! My Break Sword is Rank 3, so he gains 600 ATK and DEF Points!" Yuto explained his Field-Spell card's effect, Break Sword letting out a fierce cry as it powered up.
The Phantom Knights of Break Sword ATK: 3000 + 600 = 3600/ DEF Points: 1000 + 600 = 1600.
"3-3600 ATK Points?!" Sylvio stuttered with a nervous drop of sweat, right as Break Sword's sword tore right through Super Solder. The Ritual Monster exploded with the shockwaves hitting Sylvio head on, pushing him back by 3 feet. (3600 - 3000 = 600.)
Sylvio Life Points: 4000 - 600 = 3400.
