Alright Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Attack Timestream Blob! Spiraling Strike Burst!"
The asymmetrical dragon jumped into the air, charging up before unleashing a deadly beam towards Blob, who was panicking a lot.
"I activate a Trap! Impenetrable Shield!" I yelled, making the standard card flipped up. "I can choose one of two effects when this is activated, and I choose to have Timestream Blob be unable to be destroyed by battle this turn, yet still take battle damage!"
A green shield appeared in front of Blob, protecting it from the attack, but the gale force of the impact was so strong it sent me flying back, skidding across the floor until I stopped.
Elliot's LP: 1600
'Ouuuuuuuuch...' I groaned in my head. 'Where's a Magic Cylinder or Mirror Force when you need one?'
"I end my turn." Yuya said. "Well? What do you think of my deck, Elliot?"
I stood up and brushed myself down. "I gotta admit, that was pretty impressive, Yuya." I praised him. 'Damnit...now Yuya has a Level 7 with 2500 attack. None of my monsters are strong enough to defeat it, and I've got no cards in my hand.'
I looked at my deck. 'Well...desperate draws always seem to work in the anime...so here goes!' "Draw!" I drew my next card as dramatically as possible, before looking at it. 'Hey! It does work!'
"I activate the spell Falling Current!" A card depicting a floating island with several waterfalls appeared on my side of the field. "With this I can select one monster on my side of the field and declare a number between 1 and 3, then that monster becomes that Level! I choose to make Timestream Blob Level 3!"
The floating island appeared behind Blob as its level increased to 3, I smiled at the results. "Now I have 3 Level 3 monsters on my side of the field! So I'm going to Overlay them!"
My three monsters each turned into streams of energy, Mage was purple, Wanderer red, and Blob blue. They all shot up into the sky as a galaxy-style spiral portal opened up in front of me, with all three monsters diving inside.
I took the desired Xyz monster out of my holder. 'Think of something cool to say, think of something cool to saaaay! Ah! Got it!'
"Sealed within the boundaries of time, emerge from your eternal prison to show your power! Breaking through the cracks in time, come forth! Timestream Dragon!"
A crack in the air itself appeared, and a red eye gleamed through, the crack smashed open to reveal a dragon covered in metallic black armour, with it's underside glowing light blue, as well as the twin spiked tip of its long tail. It stood on its hind legs, it's long claws on its feet and arms strangely resembling clock hands, two long pipes connected to this sides of its jaw travelled down to its chest, attaching to a black clock with jegged edges. It had two black spikes jutting out of its head, with a long jaw filled with sharp teeth, its wings were completely made out of the same blue energy, flickering constantly like fire. To show it was truly an Xyz monster, three light blue comet-like lights orbited around it.
Timestream Dragon, Rank 3, Dragon, Light, ATK: 2400, DEF: 1500.
The new dragon gave a deafening roar which made us all cover our ears. "Now! Call upon the power of time itself to strike your foes! Attack Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
Timestream Dragon roared again before flying up to the roof of the room. "Huh? But Timestream Dragon has less attack then Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya thought aloud, before his eyes widened with sudden realisation. "Ah! An ability! I activate my trap! Dividing Wall!"
The new trap flipped up. "When my opponents monster attacks, it loses 800 attack for each monster my opponent controls!"
Timestream Dragon swayed in its flying slightly as its attack was dropped to 1600. "Like that'll stop us!" I yelled. "Go, Timestream Dragon! Time Breaker Laser!"
My dragon charged up before firing a powerful blue laser, which Yuya's dragon clashed with with its own, the two looked evenly matched for a few seconds, but mine was overpowered and the laser smashed into it.
"Yes!" Yuya cheered, but he stopped when he realised Timestream Dragon was still flying. "What!? How is it still there!?"
"I activated Timestream Dragon's special ability." I stated. "When it takes part in a battle that would destroy it, I can remove 1 or 2 Xyz materials from it to negate its destruction and reduce battle damage to zero." To prove my point, two of Timestream Dragon's Xyz materials faded.
"But if you could only remove 1, why did you remove 2?" Yuya asked.
"Because of its other ability. I can remove 1 Xyz material to deal damage to my opponent equal to half of his or her's monsters attack, and I can remove 2 to deal damage equal to their full attack."
"What!? Then that means-" He was interrupted as Timestream Dragon sent a group of energy streams at Yuya from its wings, creating an impact that sent him flying. "Aaaaaaahhhh!"
Yuya's LP: 0
Elliot: WIN
As soon as the hologram showing my win faded along with the monsters, I shuffled my cards back into my deck and walked over to Yuya.
"Man..." He sighed as he placed his goggles over his eyes. "I can't believe I lost! But your deck is pretty strong, Elliot."
"Heh heh, thanks Yuya." I smiled before helping him up. "Your deck is strong too."
"Yes! Both of you were amazingly hot-blooded!"
"Huh?" Both of us stated, looking around. "Where'd that voice come from?"
There was the sound of a powerful slap. "We're not supposed to say anything!"
"I still think it was really cool!"
"His deck was weird, I've never seen cards like that before."
"I wanna see them duel again!"
"Who's there?" I called.
"Don't worry, they're just my friends." Yuya reassured me as the door opened to let six people in, all with a large array of hairstyles. Three if them looked like children, one boy having green hair, a girl having red and one boy having dark blue. Another...boy? I think? Had sky blue hair done up in a ponytail, and was eating from a bag of sweets, the girl next to him had pink hair wwearing some kind of uniform, and the man beside her had orange swept back spiky hair, and a bandage on his head.
"I thought you said no-one was in?" I asked Yuya.
"That's what I thought too!" He laughed it off.
'Seriously?'
"We came in and heard a duel going on, so we thought we'd see what's up." The man said.
"Since you were pretty into it, we didn't wanna bother you." Sky blue boy said before popping another sweet into his mouth.
"Anyway, I'm Yuzu Hiragi, it's nice to meet you!" The pink haired girl nodded.
'Isn't Yuzu a fruit?'
"And I'm-" The man started.
"My name is Ayu! Nice to meet you!" The girl with red hair interrupted him.
"I'm Futoshi." The green haired kid followed up. "That duel really gave me the shivers!"
'The...what?'
"And I'm Tatsuya." The sapphire blue haired boy finished. "I'm kind of surprised you beat Yuya-niichan."
'Nii-chan? Are they related or something?'
"And my name is Sora Shiun'in." The sweets eater added. "Yuya's friend."
"Not by my choice." The goggles wearer whispered to me.
I jumped back as the man took a dramatic fall to gain my attention, before standing up and clearing his throat. "And I'm Shuzo Hiragi! Yuzu's father and owner of the You Show Duel School!"
"It's very nice to meet all of you." I smiled.
"So, who exactly are you, Elliot?" Yuzu asked with a quizzical look. "I haven't seen you around before."
"I just got into town." I thought up on the spot. "Been travelling for a while now."
"And that deck you use is called 'Timestream' right?" Sora asked.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"That Timestream Dragon of yours was an Xyz monster, so your an Xyz user?" Shuzo pestered.
"Not exactly, I have Fusion's and Synchro's as well." I stated as quickly as possible.
"All three? That's pretty cool!" Yuya praised me.
"Well, it's nothing really." I shrugged.
"Hey c'mon! Let's talk over some dinner! Not in the dueling zone." Shuzo insisted.
Yuzu tic-pulsed. "Dinner now?"
"What time is it anyway?" I thought aloud before following them out.
