Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Remake Part 1: Standard

Ruri vs Hokuto! Xyz vs Xyz

Here we are at Chapter 9 and beginning the Duels between You Show and LDS. I'm sure most of you have already guessed what the pairings will be and I'll try my best not to disappoint you. I know some of these chapters might be shorter than the rest, but I'm not a Duel Monster Duel Expert. My main focus is with the story, but I'll try to make them better.

Anyway, on with the chapter.

Chapter 09: Ruri vs Hokuto! Xyz vs Xyz

"Duel!" Ruri and Hokuto declared.

Ruri LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Hokuto LP: 4000, Hand: 5

"LDS Xyz vs You Show Xyz. An interesting matchup." Himika watched. Unknown to her or the others, Reiji hid close by and peaked into the Duel Arena. "Now, Hokuto, show them why LDS is superior!"

"I understand, Chairwoman! The first turn is mine! Draw!" Hokuto drew his card. "I Summon Sacred Gredi (ATK: 1600, LV: 4) in Attack Position!" A warrior monster wearing white armor appeared.

"When this card is successfully summoned, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Sacred monster from my hand! I Special Summon Sacred Kaust (ATK: 1800, LV: 4)!" A centaur like Sacred monster appeared with a bow and arrow.

I activate Sacred Kaust's effect! Twice per turn, this card can change the Level of one monster on my field by one! I use the first one to raise Gredi's Level by 1!" Kaust fired an arrow towards Gredi and its Level went up.

Sacred Gredi (LV: 4→5)

"And I use the second to raise Kaust's Level by one!" Kaust fired an arrow upwards and his Level increased by one.

Sacred Kaust (LV: 4→5)

"I Overlay Sacred Gredi and Sacred Kaust!" Hokuto raised his hand. Kaust and Gredi turned into yellow lights and entered the spacelike portal formed between Hokuto and Ruri.

"Light of the stars, descend and shake this very earth!" Hokuto grabbed a card from his Extra Deck. "Xyz Summon! Rank 5! Sacred Pleiades (ATK: 2500, RNK: 5, OVU: 2)!" A large warrior monster wearing gold and white armor appeared and wielded a long sword.

"So, this is your Xyz." Ruri looked at the monster.

"With this, I end my turn." Hokuto finished his turn.

Ruri LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Hokuto LP: 4000, Hand: 4

"Now then, let's see if this girl really can Xyz." Himika looked at Ruri.

"It's my turn! Draw!" Ruri drew her card. She looked at her hand. "No need to hold back." She grabbed a card from her hand and showed it.

"I can Special Summon this monster by Special Summoning two Lyrical Luscinia – Baby Chicks from my deck to my opponent's field with their effects negated!" Two baby birds appeared on Hokuto's field.

Lyrical Luscinia – Baby Chick (DEF: 0, LV: 1)

"Lyrical Luscinia – Mother Hen (ATK: 200, LV: 2)!" An adult female bird monster appeared. "When Mother Hen is Special Summoned, I can select two monsters on either side of the field and have their Levels equal hers. I change the Baby Chicks' Levels to match Mother Hens!"

Baby Chick (LV: 1→2)

"Next, I activate the Magic Card: Lyrical Overlay! This card allows me to perform an Xyz Summon using Lyrical Luscinia monsters from both player's field!" Ruri revealed.

"What?" Hokuto was surprised. At first, he thought Ruri was crazy in summoning monsters to his field, but she was planning this far ahead.

"I Overlay the Lyrical Luscinia – Mother Hen on my field and the two Baby Chicks on your field!" The three birds turned into green lights and entered the spacelike portal formed.
