"Do you know what place this is? I have mo idea." Yugo said walking, looking at thr Leli sitting on D-Wheel.
"No. Sorry. But it doesn't look like the sand area around my village." She answered soft voice.
"OK... don't worry if you don't know."
They went and went on the sand, under the scorching sun.
Yugo : "Today sun feels relatively more hot."
While they were going they started to talk about few things, Yugo told her how to strat chat with strangers and befriended with new people.
She told her about farming and how water gets drawn into ground and lot of vegetables they grow and how much they sell.
She must had learned all this from her dad. For 6 year old girl, she knows lot.
"Are you a duelist?" Leli asked.
"... yeah"
"Have you won duels? Lot of?" She suddenly had sparkles in her eyes.
"Not much I could be proud of." Yugo said smiling.
"But you must be a strong duelist. If you have won."
"Actually... there was one duel that mattered to me so much I can't explain."
"Was it a big match? Or some kind of final?"
"No it was just a duel between me and my childhood friend."
"Was that some kind of argument?"
"No. But kind of angry duel... we duel to settle things when we got into small or big quarrel. Though that one was a very serious one."
"When was it?"
"10 years and few lot of months... I don't remember clearly."
"Was it that important to you uncle?"
"Yeah. Of course it was. Though everything was alright little after that, but I still can't forgive myself for losing that duel. Even after so many things happening and so many situations that made me feel "give up" but i didn't. In the end on that duel i saw myself that I wasn't good enough. That's why after all the complicated stuff i got into things that made me more strong. I just tried and become strong and strong. But ironic that i wanted to become strong for my childhood friend, but after i just forgeted the reason. The more i became strong the more i felt i am drifting away. Yet i didn't notice till last second. I was fully strong to how much i could, the strongest."
Yugo clenched his hands on D-Wheel's handles very, very tightly.
"I am sorry... for bringing this."
"No it's not your fault."
Yugo looked up.
Yugo : "Sun is little down that top. It's around 1:00 defiantly afternoon."
After big silence, no one talked.
"Are you thirsty? I still have water in emergency mini box."
"Yeah. But what about you?"
"Don't worry on useless stuff. Adults can live without water."
"That's amazing!"
She drank all water from smalle bottle.
Some minutes passed.
"You know?"
"?"
"You kinda reminds me of my dad uncle."
Yugo: "I'm not that old." Yugo groaned in unspeakable nostalgia.
"We always goes to farm at early morning me my big brother . And then ate lunch together on afternoon, mom always brought it"
Yugo gave a little side look, only to see she was on verge of tears.
"My dad was also a duelist. We he won lot of competitions of village. He was called strongest in the village. I always played with his cards, he never even got angry if I did something to them." She was few steps away from crying.
Yugo didn't do or say anything. He just let few seconds pass, until she was calm.
"Hey uncle."
Yugo didn't look at side.
"Can I ask how much you have won?"
"I don't mind."
"Can I ask about your cards? Can you show me your synchro cards?"
"I don't have much synchro monsters."
"Then... can I look into them? Can I see them?" There was sparks of anticipation in her eyes.
He turned his head to her. "Get off from my D-Wheel."
"Wh—"
"Get off."
He, with his right hand tossed her into side of desert, hot, scorching sand.
Yugo with looking down at the fallen girl said. "Don't joke with me. I don't have time to waste unlike you."
"Wh—"
"You are such a idiot for a smart kid."
"?"
"Well I don't really cared though it was already idiotic that your father would tell their kid about how much they sell and how much vegetables they grow and how to grow for just a five yea old. Even then you didn't talked about your dad and blah blah buy you brought them up when yoi wanted to talk about cards. Tell Lizar these stupid things won't help."
"Ah"
"Although story was kinda emotional but it was rather boring at least thought of something I can't predict. And don't forget to tell Lizar that don't get into seeking my cards. If same as my D-Wheel they are my soul."
Yugo they sat on hid D-Wheel, with his right leg going other side from sit. And started his D-Wheel, as it shoe light on screen.
"But they had discharged the battery!"
Leli was dazed.
"This one have auto recharge with Sun rays and radiation. It was charging itself when you was taking easy and I was walking. By the was I this thing even in battery zero retakes whole map of routes wherever it goes."
And then Yugo strated to go fast.
Leli saw him going and made a call from her old looking bracelet.
"Hello? Everything is crumbled. Yugo founded everything and is gone. Tell Mr. Lizar that he didn't say a word. And just come here! It is so hot and I am whole sweating! And i am not gonna do all this ever again!"
# From desert, full speed
"How much time will it take?"
He looked at D-Wheel's screen. He was going very very fast, with his black helmet on his head, wearing it.
"... so lot."
# Neo Domino City Stadium
"Duel is already starting but I can't lose today. Even with just few Synchro monsters I have."
Future duelist said looking at the players schedule.
"I can't believe Yugo and Ryo isn't there. I can't even communicate with them." Reiji said
"I don't know either, I can't too. But dad said finishing this tournament might give answer. And not to mention Baryons are gonna participate too, it is a must now. Can't slide it, they might do something here."
"Yeah. That is the problem after all." Reiji sighed
"I have to go." Future duelist talked to himself.
It was next day. All first round battles had ended very early within one day. And it was. Now again Infinity Dimension's first battle of second round. With now 4 battles of 8 teams.
Future duelist, with his black D-Bike goes to the enormous round stadium, on the roads.
And from opposite team.
"You are gonna be defeated by me." A man with sharp hair said.
With riding on green D-Wheel.
"Now! It is Jen! From Green Acrylic!" Announceer shouted.
Jen: "I have to win. I don't see that Yugo guy. Maybe he isn't here. This is my chance. We can win this." Jen thought with grin in mind.
Future duelist: "I can't use other than synchro cards here. Those cards are already less in number compared to other extra deck cards... it's gonna be hassle."
"Here comes he! From Infinitely Dimension's... Eh? Future duelist? Ah! It's a great alias. Yes! It will be something different this time." Announcer said with bit of confusion and expectation.
Future duelist wasn't aware or he was just ignoring, but the audience was already wishing that he would lose so they will see Yugo. And even they weren't aware that if future duelist losses, Yugo still won't come. Everything was on future duelist's shoulder.
In the big office, on the very big and strong chair, Lizar was sitting. "Future duelist heh. I wanted to see him in battle. He was substitute but now the stage will lose its curtain."
At the same time Yusei and others who weren't aware of the "Future Duelist" name were shocked after watching Yugo's duel and now here hearing the name "future duelist." Which indicates simple meaning, but for them it was like experience of old scars burning.
Both future duelist and Jen stand by on their D-Wheel on starting line. With full gear on.
And the announcer shouted. "NOW! Let's count!" Everyone started, but there was low spirit. "5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Go!"
Both started with swift and very fast start. Their wheels of vehicles made smoke, as they started their D-Wheel in full speed.
Both gone, from the starting line far at the gate to go outside.
Jen was the one to ho out first.
"First turn is mine!" He didn't even said anything else and drawn a card. "I set two cards. I summon "light lighter" in defense mode."
A white, straight lighter came with light coming and shutting off from it's tip.
Lv 2
Df 500
"When I control a monster with 1000 or less attack I special summon this tuner monster "White flash tape" in defense."
Lv 3
Df 800
"Now I end my turn."
"Eh? He didn't did anything else? LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A NEW TYPE OF DUEL!" Announcer shouted and she was filled with confusion and excitement.
Future duelist: "Must be those set cards. Sigh. At best they could make him synchro summon with cards on field, maybe even I have cards as trap. But I can't lose or nothing matters now."
For future duelist nothing was gonna come with trying hard to the end but even if failed, failed good. He had to win. As there was no telling when his two missing partners will come.
Rather, one was his dad and the other was his uncle with one year old compared to his dad. And having everything depend on future duelist's shoulders were tight with his limitations on this duel.
"My turn, I draw." Jen was still ahead of him. "From my hand I summon Photon swallow in defense."
Lv 4
Df 1600
"If I control a Photon monster than I can special summon this. I summon it in defense."
Photon pigeon
Lv 4
Df 1200
"Now I set 1 two cards and end my turn."
"Wo! Looks like they both are in unison!" Announcer said.
"Heh. My turn" He swift the card. "Now I summon the the "light sparker" in attack."
A pure white bulb appeared.
Lv 4
At 400
"Now I Synchro summon using lighter and flash tape. Level 3 tunes with level 2"
Flash tape become three white orbs and tranformed into three big circles. and lighter become three orbs. Circles gone to orbs and like trapped them in. And orbs became white light and gone through circles, by expanding.
3 + 2 = 5
"Come level 5 light crone!"
A warrior in pure white armor came with gigantic sword in hand.
Lv 5
Atk 2000
"Light sparker's effect will be activated. Whenever a synchro monster in summoned on my field, I can special summon a tuner monster from graveyard and immediately, after it is summoned synchro summon using both of them."
White came back and then that very moment, it became the orbs and then three big circles again and gone the the four orbs came tranformed from light sparker.
With the big expand of light, then a warrior in silver armor came with a very large axe grabbed in both hands.
"The warrior of mascara, karmol!"
Lv 7
Atk 2400
"Now I attack both your monsters."
With coming of signal both jumped to the two pitiful birds.
"I activate monster effect from my hand, I can special summon it in attack position when a monster is being attacked. Come tuner monster Photon ant."
Lv 1
Atk 100
"Now when this effect is resolved, I can use it to special summon a monster using it. I tune Photon ant with the Photon swallow and Photon pigeon."
The tiny ant made a orb and then a big circle from it and the swallow and pigeon together made four ord that became eight, and then the circle trapped the eight orbs in it and the orbs made beam of light, and it expanded gone through circle and blast happened.
"Come with that shine that lightes the world. Shinning eyes Photon dragon."
Lv 9
Atk 3000
"I had figured," Jen chuckled. "I activate my trap card "light synchro" I can summon one tuner monster from my hand and immediately synchro summon. Then I activate my other spell card "distruction by light" I can summon one light attribute monster from graveyard, and when a synchro monster is synchro summoned, I can destroy all synchro summoned cards my opponent controls."
"OH! It was a double trap for Future duelist. Jen had placed it for using two types."
"Your not summing or destroying my cards just ended up in expanding your lose." Jen snorted. "Now I tune from my hand level 2 "white clock" and from my graveyard "white bulb" Now tune level 2 to 4.
With the same process, two circles and a big light expansion the monster came.
"I summon "steel warlock." Now I activate it's effect for each synchro monster on field, as well as yours it will multiply by 2 and then discard the number of result by it from my opponent's deck. Right now there are 4 in total, that means 8 you will discard 8 cards of top of your deck!" Jen shouted as he pointed behind to future duelist, with his finger to future duelist's deck.
Eight cards were automatically gone to the graveyard slot, as it deck was placed in below the slot as well as protected by that area from wind.
And cards went in the slot automatically.
"Now I will attack with karmol, Karmol's special effect, whenever a card is sent to graveyard, for that turn only it will gain 100× from the number of cards you sent 8 that means 800."
Karmol
Lv 7
Atk 3200
"It's not end! By the effect of "distruction by light" your all your synchro monster will be destroyed. And I can't though I can't attack with the warlock this turn by this effect as I summoned him by it, But it's still more than enough."
"WHAT A MOVE! JEN DIDN'T JUST INCREASE HIS OWN ARMY BUT DESTROYED HIS OPPONENT'S AT SAME TIME!" Announcer said with hight and loud voice.
"It was a easy win. HEH, you should had sent Yugo for win. What a suicide your team made." Jen snorted.
"Not to worry about them." Future duelist said. "I activate my spell card "Photon river" I can destroy all my Photon cards and at the same time your special summoned monster and by banishing my two cards from graveyard same number of your monsters will be destroyed. I destroy Shining eyes and both my ant and pigeon from graveyard. And destroy all your monsters."
With a big stream of glowing dark blue water, it take away all monsters from field.
"Then I set my card end end my turn—"
"It's not end." Future duelist said to Jen.
"Huh?!"
"I activate my other spell card "Photon restoration" I can special summon one Photon card from graveyard, I summon Shinning eyes Photon dragon."
With the Photon glow it was back, with dark blue empty armor in shape of dragon, it glowed and with blast of Photon and the dragon came back.
"Now I activate Shinning eyes's effect when it is special summoned I can special summon one Photon monster from my graveyard and I draw cards same number as Photon monsters i control, I summon Photon swallow. Then I draw two cards."
The little swallow with Photon glowing lights came.
"Now I activate Photon monster effect from my hand, Photon bird I can special summon in in attack position.
Lv 2
Atk 400
"And I activate it's other effect, when it is summoned or any other Photon monster is summoned this turn, I can tribute one Photon monster and the attack of that monster will go to my opponent."
"What!" Jen was shocked.
"I tribute swallow and then you take 1600 attack."
With the light came from little bird it exploded swallow and it's Photon lights gone to Jen and the attack made him little numb and his D-Wheel moved by the action.
Jen lp 2400
"What a come back on me." Jen clunched his teeths in frustration.
"It's not all." Future duelist declared.
"!?"
"Now I activate Shinning eyes other effect, when a Photon monster in destroyed or removed from field and goes to graveyard other than battle it will special summon that monster, and it's attack will be increased 1000 for this turn, at the same time i will take 1000 damage after the end turn."
The Photon swallow came back with glowing lights. And Photon light in eyes.
Atk 2600
"It's not all. This effect also let's one of my monster to use effect again. I can use the effect of Photon bird again."
"What!"
"Now I tribute the swallow again and your will take its attack."
With the same process, Photon lights goes to graveyard and it his lp had become zero.
Jen lp 0
Future duelist lp 3000
"It's such a blunder, to get defeated in your own turn." A man in yellow rider suit said, as he became ready, tighten his sports gloves and set his dark green D-Wheel.
"TSK! I LOST!" Jen crushed his fists on ground after his D-Wheel and released smoke and stopped in middle road after Jen being defeated.
Future duelist was going on and on.
Future duelist: "Sight. I somehow managed to be on duel but I feel next one will not be as easy as this one. But looks like this Green Acrylic isn't those baryon team. I didn't spotted their power in first round. Are they even here in this tournament or hiding their power until our battle happens?"
# At Certain Area
It was night with moon covered by clouds. Whole sky was covered with clouds.
"Road road..." Yugo was muttering.
"Oh amazing!"
Clouds started slightly and lightly started to drift and let stars shine. The shape of clouds was very sharp yet gave caring look. And with the shine of starts the clouds brightened.
"So cool. It looks like two wings of light just like your Clear Wing."
# At Stadium
Yusei, Jack, Crow and others were watching and shocked by not just seeing Yugo's Accel Synchro summon but today seeing Future duelist name and his duel. It planted seed of suspicion and doubt in their minds. And they waited for Lizar to explain as his words came first.
