The Heroes and The Rivals -United-

"U... ugh..."

Yuji wakes up, but his vision still blurred, fatigue and sleepiness invaded his brain, making it harder for him to awake.

The same also can be said to his hearing, his ears still buzzing like the static sound of TV that signaled the show is already over long ago.

Like a cat, Yuji stretched his body, to wake up his muscle and help him readjusted his consciousness.

"Ugh... am I transported again?" Asked Yuji readjusting his thought.

"W- what?!"

Yuji widened his eyes, in front of him a girl with silverish-white hair is kneeling with her head lowered.

"Sakura!" Yuji panicked, a surge of bad thoughts enters his mind.

Just when he took the first step to run, "Don't move!", Sakura extend her hand and opening her palm, warned Yuji to not move.

Unlike Yuji who struggling to get up, the same thing didn't happen to her.

Yuji sigh, relieved to see she was okay.

He then observed his surrounding, and widened his eyes, shocked to see the empty and destroyed Duel Field.

There are many cracks and rubble on the whole room, the light and equipments were on the floor destroyed, beside the two of them the room was empty... there are no students nor teachers present in the room.

Not only that, his Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon also disappear from the field, while as Sakura's Starving Venom still standing albeit surrounded by static-mosaic effect and its body become more transparent than before.

Curious, he check his Life Points

Yuji |LP 1800|

Yuji sigh, his Odd-eyed dragon is lost, the graceful dice's result landed on a bad number.

"...!"

Not only that, when he saw his Duel Disk, Yuji were shocked.

His Duel Disk... like the Duel Field is full of cracks, some part also falling like the rubble.

"This... what is happening?" Asked him shocked.

Sakura, like Yuji didn't know why this room is so chaotic, but at least she had deducted the cause and how can it lead to this situation.

"Yuji listens to me"

Sakura started explaining her deduction.

"This is a mere deduction, but it might have to do with our dragon. Let see... that time our dragon clashed at each other creating a blinding explosion that engulf the whole room.

At that time, our dragon... maybe... just maybe create a strong energy that overload the system and equipment, making it explode in real life and then caused this... chaotic situation"

"But what about the vision?!" Asked Yuji.

Sakura raised her eyebrow, "What Vision?"

"W- well..." Yuji scratches his cheek, and then start explaining everything to her.

About he comes to the future, meeting someone like ZARC that bring pain and destruction to duelist and world alike, and... about a woman that resembling her.

"That is just a dream, your mind created the situation based on the surrounding stimulus, and then project it to your consciousness as a... well, vision" explained her.

"I- is that so?" Sighed Yuji relieved.

[But, I do not believe if it just mere dream... that dream... the cards that he used... It's totally real cards] Think Yuji, still skeptical.

Sakura then coughed, stealing Yuji's attention to her, "Your... turn"

Yuji raised his eyebrow, "Pardon?"

She sighed, "This is... still your turn"

"Ha?!" Yuji gasped, he was shocked to hear those word from her in this situation, "You still want to duel in this situation?"

"No problem for me, you can surrender if you want"

Yuji scratches his head, "Didn't you-"

"I know the situation well... that's why I tell you to continue" told her.

Yuji sighed, "Fine then! Like hell, I'm going to surrender right away! Then, I set up two cards and activate the spell card: Swords of Revealing Light" told him.

Eight swords made of light then surrounded Sakura like a cage.

"Turn end" announced him.

Sakura smirked, "This is it! It's my turn!" Then she drew a card.

"I activate spell card: Heavy Storm!"

A tornado appears on the field, sucking Sakura's and Yuji's spell and trap cards, then destroy it into resembling broken fragments of a broken glass.

"Now there's gone your back row cards", She looks at the cards, "Then, I summon Predaplant Chlamydosundew in attack position"

Rather than a plant, a mutated looking of a frilled-neck lizard appears on her field.

"Predaplant? Is there's such a card with the name Predaplant?" Ask Yuji.

Sakura smile, "There is...", she then continues, "Activate Predaplant Chlamydosundew's effect! Without using Polymerization, I can fusion summon one dark attribute monster from my extra deck by using this lizard and monster on the field or hand"

"Such strong ability existed?!" Shocked him.

Sakura smirked, "Of course... it's existed. Now, I fuse both Predaplant Chlamydosundew and Starving Venom Fusion Dragon"

A whirlpool of Purple and Brown energy appear on her back.

"The venomous dragon with hunger to swallow the world! The vicious Plant with honeyed-flavored fragrance! Combine into one, and call the dragon that covets humanity's greatest treasure!"

Sakura then clasp her hand like a praying gesture, "Fusion Summon!"

Starving Venom begin to shed, his wings morphed into something new.

"Bloom beautifully! Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon!!"

The vicious dragon reborn, becoming more majestic and beautiful than before.

Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon (LV.10)

ATK/ 3300 DEF/2500

"Battle!"

Just when Sakura declared her battle phase, countless sound of footsteps approaching them.

"There they are!" Points Syrus toward the arena where Yuji and Sakura dueling.

"See! I told you they're still dueling!" Said Jaden.

"Unbelievable... they still go at it!" Said Misawa shocked.

"Ya, these two are two duelist no matter what the situation they won't stop until one of them gained victory" said Jaden.

There are also several peoples behind them.

"Mamma Mia! Signore Kusanagi, Signora Sakura, please stop! The duel between you two already made the room in shamble, if you continue Ai afraid the whole Academy would be destroyed!" Worried Crowler.

"""Sakura!"""

Near Crowler, Asuka and her female friends also come worried.

"Kukuku, It seems I wasn't too late to watch" said Kei Mavis, "Aren't you glad too? Eh, Zaney?" Smirked her, looking at the cold face of Zane Truesdale.

"Oh! Isn't it Prez? What are you doing here?" Asked Jaden.

Kei pulled out the Chupa-Chup lollipop from her mouth then points it toward Jaden, "Same as you, to watch a good match" told her, she then continues, "Oh! I heard you beat that Princeton kid, good job!"

"Gotcha, thank you prez!" Thanked Jaden, showing a thumb up gesture.

Back to Yuji and Sakura.

"Greedy Venom! Attack Yuji directly!"

Branches of wicked energy manifested out of the dragon's wings, bright orbs contained within each one.

The dragon roared, launching a destructive burst of energy toward Yuji.

With firm face Yuji faced the coming blast, "This moment I activate Kuriboh's effect from my hand!" shouted Yuji, showing the card to Sakura.

A cute flying brown fur ball appears, and crashed itself toward the blast.

"Tch, another hand trap monster" Sakura clicked her tongue, she knew the effect of Kuriboh that can make the user takes no battle damage from direct attack

Sakura snarked, "I end my turn" she continues, "Now, can you reverse the situation? Yuji?!"

Yuji gulped his saliva, there isn't any card in his hand... same as her.

But unlike Sakura, who still had a powerful monster on her field, Yuji's field were... empty.

[This draw will decide the outcome! Can I pull it? The card that can lead to my victory? No... I can... just believe in yourself, believe in yourself that can draw the crucial card... and also believe... believe in the deck that you constructed yourself]

Yuji took a deep breath, his fingers shaking just touching the hem of the card, his blood begins to boil because of the excitement, [I will draw it... I will draw that crucial card!!]

"I draw!" Shouted Yuji, creating a beautiful arc in the air.

He then took a glance toward his newly drawn card.

[You are...]

Without wasting more times, Yuji places the card into The Cracked Duel Disk's plate.

"I summon Elemental HERO Bubbleman in attack mode"

A hero in light blue armor appear from above, doing the notorious Super HERO landing.

Like Sakura's monsters, the static-mosaic effect also appears on his body.

"Bubbleman's effect: When there is not any other card beside Bubbleman in my hand, I can special summon Bubbleman from my hand.

Not over yet! If there isn't another cards on my field except the card beside Bubbleman, I can draw two cards"

Yuji then draws two cards, a grin appears on his face.

[This is it! The key to victory!]

"I set a card, then I activate the spell card... Card of Sanctity!"

"...!", everyone surprised, seeing and hearing the card he had drawn.

"Card of Sanctity's effect: Each player draws until they had 6 cards in their hand!"

Yuji and Sakura then begin to draw cards until six cards in their hand.

"Now, from my hand I activate another spell card, Pot of Avarice! This card let me choose 5 monsters from my Graveyard and add it to the deck, then draw two cards!"

Again!

That was the audience's though after seeing Yuji draws multiple time in just one turn.

"Fusion! From my hand I choose Elemental HERO Woodsman in my hand, and Elemental HERO Bubbleman on my field, to bring out the towering black armored HERO"

A whirlpool of blue and green energy appears on the top of the field. Two lights shoot up from the ground to the center of the whirlpool.

Yuji starting to chant, "A towering HERO that wears great black alloyed armor with strength to split the continent.

With your mighty fist, crush the opponent in front of me"

He then placed the fusion card, to the Duel Disk's plate.

"Fusion Summon! Lend me your strength! Elemental HERO Gaia!"

A towering black-armored giant appear like a meteor to the field, creating a deep and huge crater with a pattern like spider's web.

Elemental HERO Gaia (LV.6)

ATK 2200 DEF 2600

"Gaia's effect activate! When Gaia is fusion summoned, I can target one monster my opponent control, halved its attack and add the drained attack to Gaia until the End Phase. I choose you, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, to become the nutrient for Gaia!" Shouted him, as he points his index finger to the vicious dragon.

E•HERO Gaia extend his hand, an invisible force began to press the vicious dragon into the ground.

Elemental HERO Gaia (LV.6)

ATK/ 2200>3850 DEF/ 2600

"Sakura..." told him softly.

"What is it?" Asked her, looking at his firm eyes.

Yuji closed his eyes, "This turn...", and opens it, "I'll go full throttle!"

Right here, right now, he's going to unleash a new move.

"I activate spell card: Polymerization!"

Fusion again? What would he bring?! Think the audience.

Yuji takes a deep breath, he is going to end this duel in one turn.

"I fusion all the HERO in my hand and my field!"

"What?!" Surprised them.

"I fuse Elemental HERO Gaia, Ocean, Blazeman, Stratos, Necroshade and lastly Flash!

6-fold fusion!!"

The audience's eyes widens, for some of them seeing a 6 folded fusion is something rare, and Yuji... in this situation can use such move.

Yuji starts to chant, "We are The ELEMENTS..."

The heroes start to hold their hands between each other, creating a circle of unity.

"One soul... cried in the face of the great calamity"

The heroes starting to shine, all of them looking at the little bright star above.

"We had created, walked, and lent her our power"

The heroes turned into a shining star, then they begin to move toward the little star above, surrounding it in a circle as to protect it.

"But her is a lone, fragile will..."

Yuji raised his hand, "Oh brothers and sisters... let's face the great calamity once again, and let's turn her despair into a new brilliant hope!"

The raised arm... he moves it toward his chest, clenching it as holding something so precious to remember.

"Fusion summon..."

The little star and the new stars start to merge, creating a humanoid figure.

"Oh lonely soul... Wake Up Your Elemental HERO"

A new HERO appears, but his/her figure didn't resemble any hero, whether the heroes in the card's artwork, nor even any known Elemental HERO.

He/she appears as a genderless, white figure with a featureless face.

Everyone were speechless seeing its figure... especially Sakura and Jaden.

Yuji starts to speak, "Wake Up Your Elemental HERO's effect: this mons- this HERO gained 300 attack for each Fusion Material used for its fusion summoning"

Wake Up Your Elemental HERO (LV.10)

ATK/2500>4300 DEF/2000

"Battle!" Announced him.

"Attack Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon!" The humanoid figure fly toward the sky, overlooking the majestic violet dragon below.

The humanoid figure starts to take a stance. Then, it put its hands in a double palm pose, then it twisted its body clockwise and placed its hand behind in one motion.

An energy ball appears between its hands, and he throws it forward as a stream of energy toward the majestic violet dragon.

"Greedy Venom! Attack that HERO!" Ordered her, as she's pointing her finger toward the humanoid figure upward.

The majestic violet dragon roared, and launch a similar energy attack like Starving Venom.

DUN!DUN!DUN!DUN!

The blast of energies collides, creating another blinding and raging collision.

"Breakthrough!!!" Shouted Yuji.

But unlike before, Yuji's monster attack is higher and Sakura's dragon attack being pushed back.

""Aaaaaaa!!"" Both of them screamed.

Like she's thought, Yuji's new HERO destroyed her new dragon, but that is okay.

|LP 1250|

Sakura knew her dragon would be destroyed, but... that is alright, because if Greedy Venom destroyed, she can destroy Yuji's new HERO, and then she can special summon Greedy Venom again by banishing Starving Venom from the Graveyard.

"I-"

"I activate Wake Up Your Elemental HERO's another effect!"

Before she spoke, Yuji already cut her word.

He then explained, "If this card battle, and manage to destroyed opponent's monster... inflict damage to the opponent's Life Points equal to its original attack"

"That HERO's effects... Big Bro!" Syrus called out to Jaden.

Jaden nod, "Yeah... it's the same as My Shining Flare Wingman!"

[Yuji... your duel, why is it so exciting?!] Smiled Jaden, as he clenched his hand, eyes gazing at the new HERO.

"It's my win... Sakura" said Yuji softly.

Sakura closed her eyes, clenches her fists, but then she opens it again and look Yuji in the eyes with a soft smile.

"Yeah... Good Game Yuji"

Rather than attacking her with the same blasting move, the humanoid showering Sakura with a twinkling lights like a dust made from diamond.

Yuji nod, "Good Game... lady Sakura"
