Yugioh Arc-V...but with a twist!

VS. LDS best

(3rd Person PoV)

As Yuya and Hokuto began their duel, Yuichi tried to concentrate on it but his mind kept drifting off to yesterday.

That girl...

He has so many questions. Why was she seeking out this place called Duel Academy? Why target LDS students? Why did he hear fear in her voice when she asked Shingo about Duel Academy? What was all "you don't have to do this for me," all about? And most importantly...

Why did she look like Yuya?

There's differences of course like hair and eye color but no matter what he does, he can't look at Yuya and not think of the girl and vice versa.

"Light of the stars, come descend and shake this very earth! XYZ summon! Rank 5, Sacred Pleiades (ATK: 2500. DF: 1500. UN: 2)!" Hokuto's chant snapped him out of his thoughts.

"So this is the XYZ," Yuya muttered as she stared at the monster that had just been summoned.

"Wait, why does Pleiades have a rank instead of a level?" Tatsuya asked.

"Huh? Wasn't expecting you out of all people to ask a question like that," Sora noted before saying, "well for the summoning of an XYZ monster, you'll need multiple monsters of the same level to special summon it from the extra deck with the equivalent rank like we just saw two level 5 monsters for a rank 5 XYZ monster."

"And what are those orb thingies surrounding it?" Ayu asked.

"Those are overlay units which can be used for XYZ monsters' effects," Sora replied.

"I end my turn," Hokuto stated.

Himika looked over at Yuya and wondered, her reaction gives me the impression that this is her first time seeing XYZ summoning up close. Was she truly the one to attack Shingo?

"Then it's my turn, I draw!" Yuya shouted.

"I set Scale 1 Stargazer Magician (ATK: 1200. DF: 2400) and Scale 8 Timegazer Magician (ATK: 1200. DF: 600). I can now Pendulum Summon monsters from level 2 to 7 at the same time! Swing, Pendulum of the soul! Draw an arc of light across the aether! My monsters are ready to swing into action!" Yuya shouted, the pendulum on her bracelet glowing.

"Appear Performapal Sword Fish (ATK: 600. DF: 600)!" Her first monster appeared.

"Next up the dragon with the heterochromia eyes! Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon (ATK: 2500. DF: 2000)!" Her Ace appeared.

"Go Big Sis! Go Pendulum!" The kid trio cheered.

So this is Pendulum Summoning. Intriguing, Himika thought, her face betraying nothing but the excitement in her thoughts.

"I see. So this is Pendulum summoning. So you're not going to XYZ summon on me now?" Hokuto asked.

"Look, I'm not the one who attacked Shingo as I never XYZ summoned before," Yuya shook her head.

Yeah, Yuya is fighting for You Show. It wouldn't do be any good if I didn't believe in her, Yuichi thought.

"Heh, you won't be much of a challenge to me. You will lose," Hokuto laughed.

Yeah turns out he was wrong.

After a long and grueling duel, Yuya pulled off the win with Performapal Trampolynx and sent Hokuto flying. That was one win for You Show Duel School.

As soon as she stepped out of the field, she got hugged by the kids in celebration and even Gongenzaka was in tears.

Yuichi was about to congratulate Yuya when the other girl's face flashed in his mind so he kept quiet. "Hey Yuichi, it's your turn now. Go get them!" Yuya cheered and jumped towards his side. "Yeah, You Show is riding on these duels and I will win to save the school," Yuichi declared.
