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

The Pendulum Dragon Slayer

And here we are with chapter 47. Honestly, I don't think I evened out the Duel correctly on this one. But I hope you all enjoy the rest of the Yuya vs Reiji Duel.

We are one Duel and which means the finale of the Standard Arc will be the next chapter.

But enough of that, on with the chapter.

Chapter 47: The Pendulum Dragon Slayer

Yuya vs Reiji

Field Magic: Dimension Gates

Yuya LP: 1100, Hand: 2
Field: Chaos Paladin (ATK: 3000, LV: 8)

Reiji LP: 1525, Hand: 0
Field: Scale 1 DD Magical Savant Copernicus, Scale 10 DD Magical Savant Newton

Reiji looked at his Extra Deck and he noticed that his Pendulum-Hybrids weren't there. "When destroyed, Pendulum Monsters are supposed to go to the Extra Deck, so why aren't they here?" Reiji asked.

"Chaos Paladin is the anti-Pendulum Monster." Yuya revealed. "When it attacks and successfully destroys a Pendulum Monster, they are banished instead of being sent to the Extra Deck."

"Wow, I honestly never expected Yuya to have a monster that counters the Pendulum cards he created." Sawatari was amazed.

"It's ironic." Gongenzaka said. "The conditions to summon that anti-Pendulum Monster is to release Pendulum Monsters."

"While Chaos Paladin is on the field, neither of us are allowed to use Pendulum Effects of the monsters in our Pendulum Zones. Also, the moment you summon a Pendulum Monster on the field, it's Attack Points are instantly reduced in half. I set one card and end my turn." Yuya finished.

Yuya LP: 1100, Hand: 1
Reiji LP: 1525, Hand: 0

"That was splendid." Reiji praised. "You have showed instant mastery of the Ritual Summon and even sealed the power of the Pendulum."

"This guy...I banished his portfolio but he quickly composed himself. What is he thinking?" Yuya thought.

"I think I'm beginning to understand why the God Osiris aided you in your Duel with Marik." Reiji fixed his glasses.

"Osiris told me why he helped me. I heard him speak." Yuya revealed.

"He spoke to you?" Reiji questioned.

"I don't know how to explain it, but I am able to communicate with my monsters." Yuya said. "Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician also contacted me which led to the birth of Chaos Paladin. And Odd-Eyes...he told me he won't lose to cheap knock-offs! As the first Pendulum Monster, he will show his true power!"

Yuya pointed to Reiji. "And the same is said to me! I won't lose to someone who just copies my moves!"

"Yuya." Yuzu smiled.

"Looks like we both fell for stubborn males." Yuzu heard a voice. She looked at her deck and drew the top card which was Melodious Flower Dragon. "Right, Yuzu?" Melodious Flower Dragon spoke to her.

"You can talk?" Yuzu thought.

"And eat and laugh. All things you can do, I can do too. Wait, don't tell me you thought I was just a card?" Flower Dragon asked.

"No, of course, not. It's just...how come I never heard you before?" Yuzu asked.

"Well, I never really tried talking to you before. You had a lot of things going on and a talking dragon probably would've blown your mind, literally." Flower Dragon pointed out.
