Hey everyone, I'm sorry that I haven't been making my updates like I'm suppose to but I'm trying to come up with other interesting stories that you might find enjoyable. I've been wanting to do a Fanfic on Arc V for a long time but I needed some things to be cleared up first before writing a story about it. This fanfic tells how Konami was send to the future through GX-ARC V.

In the GX timeline, Konami went to a deserted lab but accidently fell into a cryonic tube and is frozen as it immediately activates. He is defrosted in 5ds time period in Tag Force 4. In 5ds timeline, after defeating Z-ONE with Yusei's help and converted him, Z-ONE sent Konami into the Zexal time period to prevent him from dying with him inside The Divine Temple. Z-ONE sent Konami into the future because he believed Yusei is more than capable of protecting the current future and that the newer gen will need his power. In the Zexal timeline, after traveling through Dimensions in the Different Dimension Airship with Yuma and the others at the ruins where Vector and Number 96 where located, Shark pushed Konami out of the way to save him from being killed by a trap Yuma set off. Konami landed into a lake but it turned out to be the Fountain of Youth which made him young again (Konami wasn't old, he was in his early 20s but became 13-14 and later on 15.) After everything was finished in the Zexal timeline and after defeating the new threat in the Astral World, a mysterious vortex came out of nowhere and sucked Konami, along with the decks all of his friends and the Numbers into it. This vortex turned out to have sent him to the Arc V time period.

This fanfic has no relation whatsoever with the Konami in Evolution or with the original cast of Yugioh. They aren't the same character but it will be worth your wild. This fanfic may contain potential spoilers from Evolution and 5ds (Don't ever expect me to do a fanfic on Zexal anytime soon.) This may also contain spoilers for Evolution Konami's universe with his relationship with the characters from the past except for Zexal. By the way, some of the cards in Arc V are going to stay true to its anime names and effects to make things more challenging but I hope you enjoy it and obviously Yugioh doesn't belong to me.

Chapter 1

Pendulum Summon

During the morning, near an old abandoned building, a vortex appeared half-way behind it as a certain young boy with his World Duel Carnival clothes landed on the ground with his whole body and face planted on it. A medium thudding noise and amount dust appeared on the young man's clothes as the vortex still remained above him.

"Agh...!" Konami groaned in agony

"Guah! My face..." Konami said as he rubbed his hand on his nose and eyes but was shocked about something "Wait... I'm alive?! I'm alive!"

When Konami said those words and shouted "I'm alive!" out of joy, the packs containing all of his friend's decks fell on top of his head one by one. His black college trunk containing his entire collection of cards and Duel Disk landed sideways on top of his back. It let out a noise that was so bad, it sounded like his spinal column was broken and paralyzed from the waist down.

Konami's body shook and eyes became completely white. The boy's World Duel Carnival hat fell upside down in front of him while all of the Numbers fell inside it as Konami could feel his spirit leaving out of his mouth and the vortex above him finally disappeared while our young hero reviled in pain.

"..Owww..." Konami said weakly as tears formed on his white eyes and pale expression; unbeknownst to the boy on the opposite side of the building, a group of 21-39 year old constriction workers, seemed to be waiting patiently for something but one of the co-workers appeared to have heard Konami's voice or at least the sound of one of his bones being broken.

A younger co-worker looked at the man who was searching for the source of what he heard "What's wrong?"

The man turned around and looked at his acquaintance as he spoke "Did you hear something?"

"No..." The young worker said with a bizarre expression "Why?"

Before the he could speak; his over-weight boss who appeared to be in his late 40s interrupted him by letting out a snide remark "Tsk! Took him long enough!"

The two man turned around and looked at their superior and realized the new guy ran out of the building in a hurry as he ran straight towards his boss. The young man looked like he was 18-20 years old as he was trying to catch his breath as his superior approached him.

"Since you're out here, then I'm under the impression that it's finished." The old man asked irately "Right?"

The young man straightened up as he looked his boss in the face "Yes, sir!"

"Well, it's about time!" The old man said as he turned around to looked at his employees and raised his voice loud enough for even the slightly unconscious Konami to hear "Alright, boys! The kid told me that he has all the charges planted! I suggest you stand back as before I set off the explosives and reduce this "Time before Christ" building to rubble!"

Konami instantly recovered the moment he heard him finish his sentence

"EXPLOSIVES?!" He thought to himself in horror and astonishment as looked to his right and saw the very building the man mentioned

"You gotta be kidding me..." Konami whispered "There's no way I'll survive if some of those broken pieces land on top of me! I need to get out of here!"

Konami tried as hard as he could to get the trunk off his back, he succeeded as he gave a short-lived sigh while turning around and opening the trunk. He ran towards the pack of his friend's decks and threw them in the trunk as fast as he possibly could. He grabbed his hat filled with the Number and dunked them inside before closing it. He got his hat, grabbed his trunk, and looked for an exit as he kept turning his head around quickly

He found it

"Thank you, Jesus!" He said as he put on his hat and ran out of there as fast as he could. He didn't care where he was going as long as he wasn't back there but as he kept running, Konami had a question mark appear on top of his head as he was observing his surroundings and slowing realized this wasn't Heartland City.

"Wait a minute..." Konami thought to himself, he was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't even hear the sound his own heavy breathing "This isn't Heartland... Where the hell am I?"

The realization hit him as he was slowly stopping in his tracks and dropped his trunk unintended

His body stood like a statue as his heavy breathing disappeared but he was about to say what's on his mind "Don't tell me..."

After running a mile away from where the abandon building was located, the explosion destroyed it from the inside as smoke left out of the windows and collapsed on itself

"I've been sent to the future, again?!" He shouted in a surprised and comically manner, his voice was so loud it could reach the sky

- ARC V -

"Why does this stuff always happen to me, of all people?" Konami thought to himself as he kept walking with his trunk, along with being sad and displeased as his head was down "I've had enough with this time-travel nonsense! Can't I just stay in one time period in peace?"

An explanation point appeared Konami's head as he thought of something the made him feel happy. Even though; Konamis in a different time period, He's glad that he has something to remember his friend's from XYZ timeline by... And that's their precious decks...

Yuma's deck, Shark's deck, Kaito's Photon deck and every last one his allies cards as well. Konami already had all the Galaxy Eyes, even before his little trip to the future. Back when Konami was a child, he created a non-realistic card called Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon; it didn't have the same effect as real Galaxy Eyes but it was a spitting-imagine of the picture frame. After defeating Mizael, they both acknowledged Konami as the one and true master of Galaxy Eyes. The boy proved that not only with his legendary skills as a duelist but he was also able to summon Full Armor Photon, Prime Photon, and even Dark Matter Dragon at will.

"It still sucks that I'm alone, again... well not entirely though..."

Konami picked his head up and looked in amazement at the city, the boy couldn't believe how his sadness kept him from noticing this beautiful city. The scenery, the atmosphere, everything about it was spectacular! The boy also noticed some tower from the center of the city with a crystal on top of it. There was something written on the middle of it.

"LDS?" Konami thought to himself, not quite sure if he was reading it right "What does that mean?"

As Konami was thinking to himself some teenager bumped into him

THUD

"Watch it, freak!" He said as he walked away

"What crawled up his ass?" Konami thought to himself but when he turned around he saw some woman in their 30s whispering to each other while looking at him and some people walking by them or next to him looked at the kid like he was a some kind of jackass

The boy was starting to worry and wondered what he did to deserve this kind of treatment. He turned around and looked at his reflection, when that happened all of his questions were answered.

It was his clothes...

The World Duel Carnival must've happened so long ago, that the idea of anyone would wear it is extremely ridiculous and shameful

"For Pete's sake..." An old man said as he walked towards him while shaking his head disappointedly "How can anyone these days wear something like that... Get with the time, my boy."

Konami turned his head around to look at him "Who are you?"

"The name's Nico Smiley, manager of the former Duel Champion, Strong Ishijima!" Nico said proudly "And you need to put on a new pair of clothes because what you have on now is so painful it hurts! I know a decent clothing store around the corner, do you want me to take you there?"

"I don't even know who this Ishijima guy is... but I cannot let this opportunity get away..!" Konami thought to himself before talking "Definitely, Nico-san!"

"Wonderful!" Nico shouted in a satisfying tone "You got money?"

Konami put his trunk down and pulled out his pockets to show he wasn't taking advantage of this man's hospitality

"I'm broke as a joke..." Konami chuckled lightly which caused a comical vein to appear the man's head as he coughed

"Well..." Nico mused but sounded annoyed "I can't turn away from a child in need, so I'll gladly cover you."

"Thank you, sir!"

"Follow me."

A few minutes later

Konami was in the changing room with the clothes he picked out but before he was about change, he thought about organizing the cards in his trunk should come first.

When Konami opened it, a certain Duel Monster Spirit suddenly appeared in front the kid

"I'm glad to see you're okay, Hagare..." The spirit said as Konami looked at her

"Oh..." Konami responded "Hey, Yubel! What's going on?"

"I could ask you the same thing."

"...Uhh...well.. I"m..."

"What's wrong?" Yubel asked somewhat curious

"I was... sent to the future... again..."

Yubel just stared at him for moment but to Konami, that moment felt like an eternity

Yubel simply sighed "I don't even want to know..."

"I wanna know!" A friendly and familiar voice Konami knew all to well called out; The spirit out from the trunk and spun around the boy before it revealed spiritual figure

It was his teacher of the Red Dorm; Daitokuji

"Huh? Daitokuji-sensei?!"

"Let me guess..." Daitokuji said as he placed his hand under his chin and pointed at Konami "You fell into another cryonic tube while working as a Pizza Delivery boy again, didn't you?"

Konami face turned red in embarrassment at that statement

"You know how much I hate being reminded of that incident, Sensei!" Konami replied, which caused his teacher to giggle

"I should've left you in that place where I found you..." Konami mumbled

"Care to refresh my memory on how you found us, again?" Daitokuji asked his favorite Red Hat student

"Ma'at, of course!" Konami explained "Back when I was with the Signers and realized I was sent to future, I used Ma'at powers of tapping into the powers of the Millennium Items to find all of my past friends cards. Since then, I decided to treasure them because I needed something to remember them by. It's a good thing they were all treated with care because now I have all of their cards, in addition to my pals from Heartland too. She didn't actually need the items, she was able to use their powers from a faraway distance."

"Speaking of which, where is Ma'at?" Konami asked curiously as he looked around

"Wait... You mean you don't know where she is?" Daitokuji asked in shock

Konami's shoulders jumped when his teacher asked him and tried his hardest to remember

"You left her back in the past, didn't you?" Yubel asked in a manner that wouldn't surprise her or to be expected

Konami despaired when he remembered he did leave her in the past or worse in the ruins

"Maybe..."

"Honestly, you're hopeless..." Yubel commented

"I am not!" Konami almost shouted

"Excuse me, but who are you talking to?" Nico asked outside of the changing room, which caused to become so petrified his face turned blue. It was bad enough people found him to be a douche for his appearance but if word got out that he's talking to Duel Monster cards or himself for that matter then his life in this city is officially over

"I-I was just talking to someone on my cell phone about a video game."

"I didn't hear a ringtone and didn't you pull out your pockets in front of me earlier?"

"My cell phone was placed in the pocket of my jacket and it was on vibrate."

"Oh? Well, that makes sense!" Nico commented "I'm sorry for interrupting."

"It's okay, Nico-san." Konami said politely and then turned around to look at Yubel and Daitokuji with red murderous eyes

Unfortunately, the two of them were nowhere to be found at the moment

Konami sighed

A few moments later

Nico was still standing outside of the changing room, he looked at his watch for a few seconds, and back at the room

"He sure is taking his time..." Nico thought to himself

The second the thought came to him, the boy came out and his new appearance caused Nico to be left speechless; Konami was wearing a different red hat and jacket but this time, he had goggles over his cap, a collar around his neck with a necklace and gold coin, black shirt, blue pants, and black shoes. He looked more normal, modern, socially-accepted than the child he met hours ago.

It wasn't like he was creepy or anything, he just looked like a person you didn't have to feel ashamed of being seen with in public. As a bonus it appeared he didn't get anything that was expensive either, which gave Nico more of a reason to be delighted than he was before.

"Marvelous!" Nico clapped with enthusiasm "You look like a real modern citizen now, young man! If you didn't have that hat on, I'm almost certain all the girls around your age would fall in love with you!"

"I have a long list of women, whose hearts have been captivated and captured by me even with my hat on..." Konami thought to himself casually "So..."

Nico looked behind Konami and notice the trunk the boy has carrying with for quite sometime, Nico has been wondering what Konami had in there. He was positive, it wouldn't hurt to ask.

"Mind if I ask you something?"

"Shoot."

"What's in your trunk?"

"Stuff."

"What kind of stuff?"

"My Duel Disk and Duel Monster cards."

Nico's eyes widened

"What?! You're a Duelist?!" Nico asked loudly "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"You never asked."

"How good are you?"

"I've retired from dueling for years, my skills definitely aren't what they use to be but I'm pretty sure I can give any duelist a run for their money."

"Ohh..." Nico commented in amusement "If you're so sure of yourself then how about proving it?"

"You mean right here and now?"

"Certainly not! I'm talking about participating in the Miami Championship!"

"Miami Championship?"

"Of Course! It's an tournament sponsored by Leo Corporation and managed by the Maiami Duelist Association as well." Nico explained "The tournament is divided into three categories: "Junior", "Junior Youth", and "Youth", based on the contestant's age. Taking part in this tournament is the first step towards becoming a Professional Duelist."

"Sounds about as lame as watching paint dry..." Konami thought to himself dryly

"What do you say? Wanna partake and show me some of your Dueling skills?" Nico asked as he raised eyebrows up and down

Konami sighed before speaking "Fine..."

"Wonderful! Now, let's go the register and get this whole thing over with!" Nico said as both Konami and him walked to the register

After paying for Konami's new pair of clothes, the two walked out of the store and prepared to part ways

"I can't thank you enough for helping me, Nico-san." Konami said as he looked at him

"It was nothing, my dear boy." Nico replied "I just can't wait see you show your skills in the Junior Youth Championship."

"I do owe him." Konami thought to himself before speaking "Sure thing but when does it start?"

"In two months." Nico said happily "Think you can get 60% winning streak until then?"

"Excuse me?" Konami asked "What are you talking about?"

"You need at least 50 matches with a 60% winning streak to enter the tournament."

"That's no problem for me." Konami replied "My winning streak is over 90% win rate."

Nico's eyes widened "Good lord, really?"

"I'd never tell a lie when comes to my skills as a Duelist or any other for that matter."

"Then I got to see you in action!" Nico said with passion "I wonder if your Dueling is more passionate than Yuya-kun's."

"Yuya?" Konami asked curiously as Nico nodded

"Yeah! He's the son of the legendary Yusho Sakaki and the one, who defeated Strong Ishijima need I remind you was the Champion of the Pro Leagues!"

"I still have no clue who any of these people are... but it's best if I played along." Konami thought to himself "He sounds pretty interesting, I look forward to dueling him in the future."

Konami turned around and was about walk away "Until we meet again, Nico-san."

"W-Wait!"

"Huh?" Was all Konami could say as he turned his head around to look at Nico

"You never told me your name."

"Oh right! Where are my manners?" Konami said as he felt pretty foolish "It's Konami."

"Bye, Konami-kun!"

"Bye!" Konami said as he casually walked away with his trunk

"That is one strange kid." Nico thought to himself as the boy was long gone

As the young man was done walking, he stood onto of a slope where he could admire the beautiful view of the sun sitting just right with the houses underneath it. While Konami has always loved looking at the sky and clouds, the boy seemed troubled. Konami's goggles were covering his eyes, nobody could tell what color they were but many would be able to see the hurt and sorrow within them. He closed his eyes as he recalled the names and faces of his friends in the past with his head down

"Konami!" Judai shouted happily with his "Gotcha!" pose

"Konami-kun." Asuka said with her affectionate voice

"Onii-chan!" Rei shouted happily as she ran and hugged her "big brother"

"Konami." Manjoume said with a smile on his face

"Konami." Sho & Ryou said in unison with smiles on their faces

"Konami!" Johan said happily

"Konami." Edo said confidently and smiled

"Konami!" Daichi said in a polite manner

"Konami." Yusei said as he offered Konami a bro fist

"Konami..." Aki said with emotions in her eyes

"Konami..." Sherry blushed as she said his name with love

"Konami!" Jack shouted proudly

"Konami!" Crow said with enthusiasm

"Konami!" The twins said with joy

"Konami." Kiryu said with a grin

"Konami." Bruno said in a friendly manner

"Konami-kun?!" Carly shouted out of shock

"Konami-kun." Mikage said with a smile

"Konami-kun." Misty said with tears

"Konami!" Yuma shouted with joy as he jumped in the air

"Konami." Astral said with a grin

"Konami..." Akari said shyly

"Konami-san." Kotori said with her face being red

"Konami." Anna said with love in her eyes

"Konami-san." Rio said with affection

"Konami." Droite said with a blush

"Konami." Kaito said solemnly

"Konami." Shark said as he smiled

"Konami-san." Haruto said happily

Konami slowly lift his head up as he was about to open his eyes

He saw all of his friends and rivals from different timelines in one big group and called to him

"Konami!" They said with happiness in their voices. They sounded so happy and really glad he came into their lives, which caused Konami to be reduced to tears and sniff

"Everyone..." Konami muttered as he pulled his goggles away from his face as the tears fell on the ground and wiped his face "I miss you all so much..."

All the various versions of Kuribohs he collected came out to offer Konami some comfort while they looked at him with sad faces

"Kuri..." They all said in unison as they slowly approached him

Konami was still sniffing as he wiped his tears away but seemed okay

"Thank you, guys." Konami informed "I really appreciate your concern."

The Kuribohs let out their joy knowing that their owner & partner was fully at ease as they disappeared

"Even though I said that..." Konami thought to himself with a frown "How am I suppose to deal with this pain of mine?"

Flashback

As Konami thought of that; he remembered by when he was 6 or 8 years old, he was wearing worn out and dirty white T-shirt and black shorts with his hair covering his eyes as he sat in the living room watching TV in his unsafe home. The windows looked like they were easily breakable, the kitchen was a complete mess filled with old and moldy food with either a pot or pan over some of them on the floor, gunshots could easily be heard from outside of the house that looked like it was about to crumble, a small gas leak can be hear somewhere in the back, reckless driving outside where someone could end up hurt or killed, and six bottles of beer were on the sofa. He blocked out all the noise so he hear TV.

Konami was watching a person he could completely relate too as the man was being interviewed live on national television. Konami knew from the moment he looked into his eyes that this man also knew what it was like to have nothing and rely on nobody but yourself. That power is everything and never let anyone stand in your way to greatness. He's also the reason that made Konami drew his Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon out of respect for this man and his dragon as well.

The person who Konami was watching on TV right now was... none other the infamous Seto Kaiba

Konami ended up being fixated on seeing and hearing Kaiba on TV because he wanted to learn more about him and find out how he became such a success so that he could be successful as him too.

"Kaiba-san!" A random reporter shouted to get the man's attention "I'd like to ask you on your thoughts about a very talented duelist, who lost his way as a Pro Duelist after his wife cheated and left him for another man! What does a great Duelist like yourself have to say on the matter?"

Kaiba scuffed "I think it's pitiful for anyone to let their personal feelings get in the way of their success! Listen up, all of you young Duelists out there, who really want to make something of yourselves! Never dwell in your own pain and suffering no matter how agonizing it may be!"

Kaiba then closed his eyes but didn't open them until he got the end of the sentence "You need to learn how to pick yourself up instead of sitting down feeling sorry for yourself! Use your pain to your advantage and most importantly use it... to push forward!"

The young Konami gasped for a moment but nodded his head in agreement

The Present

When Konami broke free of his thoughts of the past, he had a determined look on his face

"That's right!" Konami thought to himself "It's just like Kaiba-san said... I can't sit around here and feel sorry for myself! I must move forward, no matter what! My friends may not be here with me but I'll honor my memory of them by winning all of my duels with their decks, just like I've always have! I may have cared about being successful back then but it means nothing to me anymore!"

"Just you wait my friends... I'll make you all proud by carrying on your spirit until the very end!" Konami thought to himself but wasn't fully aware of the voices coming behind him

"Come back here, Yuya!" A young girl shouted angrily as she chased Yuya with a fan while three kids were casually walking and watching to the scene like an everyday thing

"Come on, Yuzu!" Yuya pleaded as he turned his head around look at the girl with sincerity "I said I was sorry!"

Yuzu growled but snapped out of her rage when she realized Yuya was about to bump into someone "Yuya! Watch out!"

"Huh?"

"Eh?"

BUMP

The two boys grunted with their bodies came in contact as they fell down the slope and into the mud. Yuzu covered her mouth at the scene and ran down the stairs to check on the two while the children were worried or hoping the person Yuya bumped into was nice and reasonable, even so, that didn't stop them from checkup on Yuya.

"And I just got these clothes too..." Konami thought to himself with venom in his voice

"Yuya, are you alright?!" Yuzu asked as she came to his side

Yuya picked his head up and wiped the mud off his face before replying

"Yeah, I'm fine." Yuya said smiling but then widen his eyes and frowned when he remembered the person he crashed into. He turned his head around and saw Konami's face was still planted on the mud which caused Yuya to let out a very awkward chuckle as he walked towards Konami's direction.

"I'm sorry..." Yuya said nervously as he lend his head down for Konami to hear him "Are you okay?"

Konami didn't say anything, he simply stood back up as he wiped the mud off his face, shoulders, shirt, and pants. He didn't have his hat or goggles on but his hair was still masking his eyes, he then turned around to look at the two teenagers, who appeared to be a year younger than him before he spoke

"I just got these clothes..." Konami grumbled irately which caused Yuya and Yuzu to worry

"Um, hold on!" Yuya tried to reason with him "I'm sure I can fix this!"

Yuya was moving head around trying to find something convenient

He noticed a bucket sitting right next to the river in this city. Yuya grabbed the bucket and filled to the highest point as he ran towards Konami to throw it on him, every inch of the red-hatted duelist's body was completely wet

Konami's annoyance didn't go away

Yuzu let out a nervous smile and laugh at the scene

"Oops! I guess I overdid it!" Yuya said with nervous smile and concern laugh "Um, okay! How about this?"

Yuya took off his jacket and threw it over Konami's head as he tried drying him off while moving his hands frantically and patted on Konami's body and shoulders

"There!" Yuya said quite pleased with his eyes closed before opening them "Good as ne-"

When Yuya saw Konami, it looked the boy was rocking a frizzy afro that was still masking his eyes

Yuya was really trying his hardest not to laugh and cry out of humor but couldn't help it. Konami just looked so funny, in fact, Yuzu was the only one trying her hardest not to laugh while the kids, who standing on top of the slope joined him

Konami didn't even bother to sigh before speaking to the boy, who was ground laughing with his arms around his stomach "Let me guess, you're Yuya Sakaki, aren't you?"

Yuya kept laughing before & after he spoke "Yeah, that's me!"

"I guess Yuya is pretty famous around here despite his dad's reputation." Yuzu said before fully regaining her composure and introducing herself

"My name is Yuzu Hiragi." Yuzu informed "Those children over there are Tatsuya, Ayu, and Futoshi."

"My name is Tatsuya, nice to meet you." The blue haired boy informed

"I'm Ayu, I hope we can be friends!" The red haired girl informed as well

"And I'm Futoshi, I like to say shivers a lot!" The chubby one said happily

"I bet you do..." Konami thought to himself as he put his hat on

Yuya got back and wiped the tears off his eyes before speaking to Konami

"Well, since everyone has introduce themselves to you." Yuya said happily "Care to tell us your name too?"

"My name is Konami Hagare but you can address me as "Red Hat" Konami or just plain Konami. It doesn't make a difference to me. "

After Konami introduced himself, Tatsuya noticed the black trunk a few inches next to him

"Excuse me, Konami nii-chan! May I ask what's inside here?" Tatsuya asked as he pointed at the trunk

"Just memories of my past." Konami replied

"Are you selling toys?" Futoshi asked delightedly as the two shared his desires

"If you are then can we have them?!" Ayu asked happily "Can we? Can we please?!"

"I'm sorry, kids but there are no toys in my trunk." Konami said disappointedly "Just personal belongings of mine."

The kids frowned

"By the way, I also hear that Yuya is a very talented young duelist and the person, who defeated a Champion of the Pro League, is that true? "

"Very... talented..." Yuya mused before blushing, obviously letting Konami's words go to his head, something Yuzu took notice of as she spoke to Konami

"Konami-kun, you shouldn't flatter him that much." Yuzu said causing Yuya to pout

"I'm just saying what I've heard." Konami replied as Yuya still remained happy "So Yuya, care to explain your methods to me?"

A question mark appeared on Yuya's and Yuzu's heads at Konami's words, not quite sure what the boy meant

"My methods?" Yuya asked confusedly

"I mean what summoning method did you use to beat him."

"Oh!" Yuya said before scratching the back of his head before replying "I don't have any fancy cards like the students in LDS but I have a summoning that no one else does!"

"You do?" Konami asked very interested "What would that be?"

"In order to do this summoning, you must have Pendulum Monsters and then you can perform a Pendulum Summon!" Yuya said and explained with joy

"Pendulum Monsters?" Konami asked curiously "Pendulum Summon?"

"Oh! Yuya nii-chan!" Futoshi shouted as if he had a good idea "Why don't you show this Red Hatted nii chan your Pendulum Summon!"

"Huh?" The three older individuals said as the looked at the boy

"Yeah!" Tatsuya agreed "Think of it as an I.O.U for bumping into him! Besides, you did tell us we were going to see a Pendulum Summon!"

"Pendulumu, Pendulumu!" Ayu chanted as she encouraged them and joined her chanting

Yuzu frowned at them but with a smile on her face as she looked at them

She turned around to look and wink at Yuya "Well, Yuya? You don't want to disappoint your fans, do you?"

Yuya laughed "Better now then never! Alright, Konami step back and be amazed!"

Konami sighed before replying and backing away "Okay..."

Yuya prepared his Duel Disk

"Hooh... another upgraded version of Duel Disks, huh?" Konami thought to himself slightly impressed with his arms folded

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Watch in awe and be amazed as only I, Sakaki Yuya can perform through my very own Entertainment Dueling!" Yuya shouted happily

"Entertainment?" Konami thought to himself a little surprised

"I set the Pendulum Scale with the Scale 1 Magician of Astromancy and Scale 8 Magician of Chronomancy!" Yuya said he placed the magicians in their respective Pendulum Zones.

"Pendulum Scale?!" Konami thought to himself in disbelief as he watched both of Yuya's Pendulum Monsters being surrounded in pillars of light as they rise up and an enlarged version of Yuya's pendant appears between them.

"Wh-What's going on?" Konami asked as he lighty backed away

"With this, I can summon any monsters between Level 2-7 at the same time!" Yuya explained

"Huh?!" Konami asked in even bigger disbelief

"Swing, pendulum of the soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Come out, my faithful servants!" Yuya said as he rouse his hand in the air, a portal appears overhead, and three rays of light burst through. He Pendulum Summons Entermate Whip Viper, Entermate Sword Fish, and his ace card; Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon

"He did it!" Ayu cheered

"Yuya nii-chan Pendulum Summoned!" Tatsuya said happily

"Shivers!" Futoshi shouted

"Well?" Yuya asked with his eyes closed "What do you think, Konami? Pendulum monsters are pretty cool, huh?"

When Yuya opened his eyes, he laughed loudly at Konami's stunned expression from this new summoning, the boy's jaw dropped down to his chest cavity at what he witnessed

"Industrial Illusions... What have you done?!" Konami thought to himself comically

"You should see the look on your face!" Yuya said laughing with tears of joy and arms covering his stomach "You're a laugh, Konami!"

Yuzu's eyes widened as if she forgot something very important "Oh no! Yuya, we have to hurry or we'll be late for school!"

Yuya's eyes widened as well at the realization "Oh man, you're right! I can't afford to be tardy again!"

"Come on, we have to hurry!" Yuzu said as she ran up the stairs as quickly as she could

"Right!" Yuya said determinedly while looking at Konami and said "I hope we get to know more about each other, Konami!"

"Yuya nii-chan!" Tatsuya said as he ran after them

"Man, I hate running!" Futoshi said as he ran as well

"Bye! Konami onii-chan!" Ayu said happily before running

Konami made his way up the stairs at his own pace with his goggles in his hand and saw the backs of the five individuals he encountered

"Pendulum.. Summon..." Konami whispered

When Yuya and his friends were gone, Konami decided to look both ways before speaking a little louder "Did you two see that?"

Yubel and Daitokuji appeared as he asked them

"I did..." Daitokuji said solemnly "My stars..."

"To be completely honest, I really don't think it's that broken..." Yubel commented with her arms folded "There are a lot of idiots out there who have too many high level monsters they can't call out when their in a pinch... whether their deck is poorly made or just have lousy Drawing Strength. Still I guess that's as good as its going to get."

"I don't think so..." Konami said in a low voice with confidence "I'm sure there's more to that summoning than what meets the eye."

"Huh?" All Yubel and Daitokuji could say as they looked at him

"Think about it. When that Yuya kid performed his Pendulum Summon, he said he can summon any from 2-7, meaning that depending on the scales you can summon any monsters between them. I'm not quite sure if even he know this but with those cards, he can do Contact Fusion Summons, Synchro Summons, XYZ Summons, and probably something even beyond it. If this generation even knows any one of those summoning's."

"You know this for a fact?" Yubel asked as she casually looked at him

"All I know is that those Pendulum cards are full of unlimited potential and if it's fully tapped then there's no telling what untold damage they're capable of." Konami said with utmost certainty "Besides Yubel, you're one to talk when it comes to the potential of any kind of card. Remember how you were back when Judai was little?"

"Hmph!"

"You don't think Yuya-kun might do something genocidal, do you?" Daitokuji asked curiously

"From what I've seen of him so far, I highly doubt it." Konami said but then grimaced as he thought of Judai back when he was The Supreme King "Let's just see how things play out before jumping to conclusions. As long as those cards don't fall into the wrong hands then we're fine."

"But what if they do?" Daitokuji asked as Konami turned around, picked up his trunk, and walked away with them

"If or when that happens then I'll have to increase my Dueling Skills and Drawing Strength back to 100 percent once again." Konami replied "Not even the Legendary Duelist, Yugi Muto with his knowledge and understanding of this generation could stand up to me when I'm at the best of my abilities..."

Daitokuji and Yubel looked at him from behind when he said that. Truth be told, Konami has showed impossible & outstanding feats in the past that would give any Duelist moments to pause and the impression that even The King of Duelists, Yugi Muto couldn't beat him if he were alive and aware of the new summoning methods.

"Besides, I look forward to seeing how powerful Yuya and that girl Yuzu will become in the future." Konami commented

"I can see Yuya-kun becoming stronger but are you sure about that Yuzu girl?" Daitokuji asked his former student

"Positive, if she has a strong desire to better herself that is..." Konami commented "I also wanted to thank you two as well."

"Huh?" Yubel and Daitokuji said in unison

"Back when I was crying about my friends..." Konami explained "I appreciate you for not comforting me, I could use some tough love."

"Don't worry about it, Konami-kun!" His teacher said with a cat-like smile

Yubel frowned a bit before speaking to Konami "When those two are at their best, are you going to Duel them and retire from Dueling for good...?"

Konami just kept walking "Only time will tell, Yubel..." He thought of his friends from all time periods in group "Only time will tell..."

TO BE CONTINUNED...
