The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

Chapter Five: Shining Dragon Stardust

While Yusei and Ushio were fighting, Larry and his team were also able to see Yusei's situation through their computer screens.

"Why did they suddenly start fighting with the guards again?"

"Is it too late if things continue like this?"

"Ah! Yusei and the guards have entered the pipes..."

"Oh no! Hurry up and decide the winner, Yusei!"

While everyone was holding their breath for Yusei, he also took a look at the wall that had turned into a roadblock. "Gate Barrier... As long as this card is on the field, your opponent cannot target other monsters on their field with their card effects, nor can they place counters on cards on the field, and the effects of their Field Spells are also negated..."

"I see. Although the [High-Speed ​​World] cannot be broken in terms of rules, it can prevent opponents from placing high-speed indicators. Is this also a card specifically used by the Guard to pursue targets?"

"Hahaha, that's it! Thanks to the guard's privileges, my deck can freely use the special deck of [Gate Barrier], you can't escape my grasp now!"

"Power, huh...? I really can't stand it..." Yusei muttered coldly, then suddenly pulled out a card.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 5 → 6]

(Yusei Fudo SPC0, Tetsu Ushio SPC1)

With a slight flick of his wrist, the card he drew caught Yusei's eye, and a slight smile immediately appeared on his lips: "So you've arrived...?"

The next second, Yusei slammed it onto the Duel Disk without hesitation: "When your opponent controls a Level 5 or higher monster, Special Summon 'Scrap Giant' from your hand!"

In an instant, the light suddenly converged, and the figure of a blue steel giant solidified in the passage, following behind Yuxing.

"Then, I summon the Tuner monster [Fragrance Synchron] from my hand!"

As soon as Yusei finished speaking, a robot shaped like a flower appeared.

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 6 → 4]

"You gathered all the synchronization materials in an instant? As expected of you..."

However, Niuwei remained unfazed by the situation.

"But my trap is a Counter Trap [Discordant Counter]! This card negates a Synchro Summon, returns the material monster to the field in Defense Position, and prevents you from Summoning any monsters until the End Phase of the next turn. Hehehe, go ahead and Synchro Summon, you bastard from the Satellite Zone!"

As Ushio imagined his victory, Yusei raised his voice and shouted, "Let's go! I'll use my level 6 Scrap Giant to level up my level 2 Flower Synchron!"

"Let a ray of light cut through the sea of ​​stars and let the pulse of the soul roar in the world!"

"Synchro Summon! Light, come forth, [Shining Stardust]!"

Suddenly, a beam of synchronized light pierced through the entire garbage duct, revealing a giant silver-white dragon adorned with starlight.

【Flash Dragon Stardust: Attack Power 2500】

"What!?"

Larry and the others were immediately taken aback when they saw the dragon.

"Stardust!?"

"But isn't Stardust Dragon still in Jack's hands?"

"No, upon closer inspection, there are some subtle differences. The dragon summoned by Yusei has some faint stripes on its chest compared to Stardust Dragon. I wonder where Yusei picked up this new card from..."

Of course, this was definitely not something Yusei picked up; rather, it was manifested while he was exploring the abilities of that dragon seal, serving as Yusei's second trump card.

With the new Stardust Monster, some of Yusei's combo cards have become useful.

At this moment, Ushio didn't know what Yusei wanted to do by summoning this dragon, but he just needed to get rid of it.

"Hahaha, I won't let you succeed! Activate the Trap Card [Discordant Counter], negate the Synchro Summon of your opponent's monster!"

However, the screen of the Bull Tail D Wheel displayed the word 'ERROR', and the trap card did not open.

The previously smug Ushio instantly lost his smile: "Impossible!? It's ERROR, why can't I activate my trap card?"

As he looked puzzled, Yusei continued to explain: "Another effect of [Junk Giant] is that Synchro Summons using this card as material cannot be negated, and the opponent cannot activate card effects when that Synchro Summon is successful."

"What did you say?!"

Yusei wasted no time and continued, "And when [Flower Synchron] is sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material, its effect is activated. I Special Summon a Level 2 or lower monster from my hand, and Special Summon another Tuner Monster, [Scrap Master].

Immediately, a silver and red steel figure appeared beside him.

"This card can replace other [Synchro] Tuners. Once per turn, you can discard one card from your hand to Special Summon one [Junk] monster from your Graveyard that is not a Tuner. Then, you can Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster using [Synchro] materials, using only that monster and this card. The monster to be resurrected is, of course, [Junk Giant].

"Again!?"

Because it still uses the Scrap Giant as material, the face-down card of the Ox Tail cannot be activated, and can only continue to grit its teeth.

As Scrap Giant reappears, Yusei continues Synchro Summoning: "I'm using a Level 6 Scrap Giant to Synchro Summon a Level 2 Flower Synchro!"

"Let our united fighting spirit awaken the roaring demons and become the path illuminated by light!"

"Synchro Summon! Smash it, [Junk Destroyer]!"

In an instant, the light of harmony shone brightly once more, and a black figure with two pairs of arms burst forth from the light, protecting Yusei's side.

[Scrap King: Attack Power 2600]

"When the 【Junk Destroyer】 is successfully Synchro Summoned, you can destroy cards on the field according to the number of monsters other than the Synchro Material used."

"I have destroyed the barrier of the gate, unleashing the power of the tide!"

The next moment, the five cores on Wreck-It Ralph's chest erupted with a torrent of energy, instantly shattering the wall with a bang.

"Damn it! Even so, your monsters still can't beat my fusion dragon..."

"However, since the [Gate Barrier] has disappeared, my [High Speed ​​World] can now accumulate high speed indicators."

"Could it be...?!"

“Just as you expected…” Yusei then threw out a card from his hand: “I activate [Sp-Boost] from my hand. This turn, I gain four more Speed ​​Counters, which will be reduced to one at the end of the turn!”

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

In the blink of an eye, four counters lit up on Yusei's D-wheel screen, and the speed of the D-wheel increased dramatically. It looked like they were about to reach the end of the garbage duct.

(Yusei Fudo SPC0→4)

Yusei didn't let this golden opportunity slip by: "Then, I activate [Sp-High-Speed ​​Collision]. When I have two or more High-Speed ​​Counters, I can destroy any card on the field along with one of my own. I destroy [Mixed Dragon] and [Shining Dragon Stardust]!"

"You must have been in such a rush to summon a Synchro Monster, weren't you?"

Despite Ushio's sarcasm, Yusei calmly continued, "At this moment, the monster effect of [Stardust Dragon] has taken effect."

"Once per turn, select one face-up card on your field to activate this effect. That card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects once per turn. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn."

"Nani?!"

"【Flash Dragon Stardust】naturally chose itself, Wave Sound Barrier!"

As soon as Yusei finished speaking, the Synthetic Dragon exploded on the spot with a bang, turning into countless fragments like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, while Yusei's Shining Dragon remained completely unharmed.

"How could this happen? I lost again..." Ushio couldn't accept the result. He had even used a counter card, but in the end, he was still defeated in one round.

At this moment, Yusei waved his hand and shouted, "Stop here! The two monsters will attack you directly! [Flash Dragon Stardust], Meteor Strike! [Scrap King], Destruction Fist!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!

With a roar behind Yusei, Ushio's health points were completely depleted.

“Ughh ...!!!”

[Tetsuya Ushio: LP4000→0]

Chapter Six: A Clash of Fates

After Yusei knocked down the bull's tail, there were still a few seconds left.

So he accelerated his D-wheel and drove it to the garbage outlet at the end of the pipe, and with a graceful drift, he got inside just before the maintenance hatch on the left closed.

Seeing that Yusei had escaped unharmed, Larry and the others, who were watching everything through the screen, breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is Yusei?"

"The signal has entered the city area!"

"Great!"

"Yusei is really amazing!"

On the other side, after Yusei smuggled himself into the city, his car suddenly stopped at a certain location.

He took off his helmet and, as if by telepathy, looked up at the overpass above, where a tall man in white was standing, also looking down at them.

"Jack."

"Hehehe, long time no see, Yusei!"

"..."

Seeing Yusei staring at him silently and coldly, Jack said to himself, "Looking at that moon, I felt you would come."

The moonlight is so beautiful! (Just kidding)

"It's been several years?"

Yu Xing replied succinctly, "Two years."

"Two years...?"

Jack looked down at Yusei, examining the red D-Wheel the latter was riding, and praised, "You made a pretty good D-Wheel, truly worthy of you!"

"Because you took the one we made before."

"Hmph, the king is not one to let an opportunity slip by."

"where are you now?"

"Of course it was broken a long time ago."

"Then where is my card?"

Faced with Yusei's questioning, Jack calmly picked up a card. "Stardust Dragon? I'm the King now, it's a card I don't need anymore, here you go!"

He then tossed the card to Yusei like trash, and the latter caught it precisely on instinct. The white-framed card naturally depicted the Stardust Dragon that Yusei had been longing for.

Yusei stared at the card in silence for a moment before tossing it back.

As Jack caught the card, Yusei raised his voice and said, "I don't need your charity. Just repay me with a duel. That's what you thought when you came here, isn't it?"

"Hmph, fine! Without Stardust Dragon, can you still unleash your full power? But I am no longer the same person I once was. I will use your defeat to wash away the King's humiliation!"

.........................

......................................

The scene shifts, and Yusei and Jack arrive at the venue for a dueling tournament in the city.

"This is my battlefield, Yusei! It feels great to be chased, it gives me the real sense of being a king! A king must protect his position, so chase after me as much as you can!"

After Jack finished showing off, the lights in the venue suddenly turned on with a snap.

After the two initiated the duel program of the D-Wheel, they drove the D-Wheel to their respective starting positions.

"Alright, let's enjoy this! Although it might be a little lonely without an audience..."

After saying this, Jack pressed a button on the screen, and Yusei silently did the same.

'Duel Mode, Autopilot Ready!' ×2

As the high-speed world was activated, the entire dueling arena was instantly enveloped in purple.

"Duel!!" ×2

【Yusei Fudo: LP4000】

[Jack Atlas: LP4000]

"Challenger, you'll go first!"

Yusei didn't stand on ceremony with Jack and suddenly drew a card: "My turn!"

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 5 → 6]

Since it's the first turn, the best thing to do is to use the storytelling ability of the two useless cards to create a few counters. It's just a pity that even if those terminals are printed, they can't be used. No matter how Yusei tries, he feels that something is missing, so he can only give up on setting up the field for the time being.

At this moment, Yusei glanced at his hand and quickly made a decision: "If I have no monsters on my field, I will Special Summon 'Scrap Frontier' from my hand!"
