A/N: HI READER
Well here it is, my Zero One fic. For me this is basically a replacement for my Kamen Duellist GX fic, since I deleted it.
Well with Zero One being the main Rider for my OC's deck, I guess I should explain how he and the other Riders will work. WELL…..I won't say anything for now.
So let's this thing started shall we.
PROGRISE!
Chapter 1: Rising Duellist!
"The Kaiba Corporation supplied Duellists with the first and original kind of holographic duelling. Now with the ARC System, duelling has grown to new levels of action. Kaiba Corp, we bring duelling to you!" Static broke through the commercial and was replaced with a news broadcast.
"Breaking news; the Kaiba Corporation has gone bankrupt." The anchor-woman reported. "The company famous for the Duel Disk, Kaiba Land, and making Duel Monsters what it is today has gone down financially."
While that was broadcasted, a boy cycled by in Maiami City at speeds of light if able. He was fourteen with light brown hair and green eyes. He had a white jacket with red lining over a black hoodie and a yellow shirt, as well as red trousers and white shoes.
"And I slept in! Fantastic!" He panicked as he swerved around some people in the streets. "You had one job me, ONE JOB!"
He wasn't paying attention at one point and almost crashed into a person. He yelped and turned the bike only to crash to the ground.
"Are you alright?" The person asked. The boy looked up to see a man in a hooded trench coat that shadowed his face. He had leather trousers and boots on as well as gloves and a black shirt.
"Yeah I'm fine thanks." The boy rubbed his head. "Sorry for almost crashing into you."
"Oh it's fine." The man said with a soothing voice. "What's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Hareta, Hareta Kaiba." He introduced. "Ah, my cards." He bent down and picked up his scattered cards on the ground.
"Kaiba huh? So you're a Duellist?"
"Um, yeah. I'm on my way to get into a Duel School." Hareta said as he finished picking up his cards.
"I see." The man reached into his pocket and took a card out. "This card needs a friend; will you be its friend?"
"Um….okay." He took the card as the man started to walk away.
"See you again someday." He waved.
"Sure…" Hareta shrugged and looked at the card. It was a Machine Type named Humagear. "Weird card, but nothing wrong with that I guess." He then noticed his bike was bent and the tire flat. "AW COME ON!"
Meanwhile in the Kaiba Corporation, the executives and anyone considered in charge were in a panic because of the company failing.
But inside the CEO's office sat an asleep teenage girl with purple hair, wearing a similar jacket to Hareta. She also had a thigh long skirt with knee high boots and a cyan shirt. There were some wiring noises heard as her head lifted and her eyes opened, they were bright orange and seemed to zoom in and out until in focus.
"Oh, is it that time already?" She stretched and yawned as she stood up. "The company is falling it seems." She walked over to a wall and pressed her palm against it, opening a secret wall, inside was a cyan and pink duel dish and deck. "Destination, You Show Duel School. Objective, find Mr Kaiba."
[Meanwhile, in the Leo Institute of Duelling]
"Pendulum Summon?" A young woman with heart shaped hair asked. She had a red skirt and blouse with golden earrings, necklace, and dark red high heeled shoes. This was the chairwoman of the LID, Himika Akaba.
"Correct, it uses two special cards called Pendulum Cards." The boy in front of her explained. He had grey hair and glasses over purple eyes. He wore a dark blue sweater with white trousers, shoes and a red scarf. "In order to summon multiple high levelled monsters, without release."
"Who could create such a method?" Himika asked.
Reiji pressed a button on a remote that then showed a picture of a green haired teen. "His name is Yuya Sakaki. He's fourteen years old and attends the You Show Duel School. He's in junior year and his duel record is twenty-six wins out of forty-six matches."
"So an average sixty percent victory rate." Himika noted. "To think a junior year would be able to make a new summoning method."
"He is the son of Yushou Sakaki after all." Reiji said, which shocked his mother.
"Yushou Sakaki?! As in the same one that disappeared three years ago?"
"I cannot deny it." Reiji pushed up his glasses. "But I cannot deny the opposite either."
"The opposite?"
"Last night, Mr Sawatari's son was attacked by an XYZ Duellist." This got Himika concerned. Suddenly the door to the room opened as a man in a suit walked in. "What is it Nakajima?"
"Mr President, he's returned. And given one of those cards again." Nakajima said. "We were able to briefly catch him on video." He pulled out his phone and showed a street camera recording of Hareta taking the Humagear card from the hooded stranger. As the stranger walked away, the hood slightly looked at the camera as it seemed to static and short out.
"So he is back." Reiji narrowed his eyes.
[You Show Duel School]
"For today's lesson we'll go over the different kinds of summoning." A man in a jumpsuit, presumably the teacher, said. He had dark blue eyes and orange hair with an orange and red jumpsuit with trainers. This was Shuzo Higari.
"To start, there's Normal Summoning." Shuzo said as he continued. "This is the most common style of summoning where you take a monster card from your hand and place it on the field. Next there's Tribute Summoning, Tatsuya can you explain it?"
A young boy with blue hair stood up and addressed the teacher. He wore a white short sleeved shirt and khaki shorts.
"Yes sir. Tribute Summoning is a form of summoning where you call forth a level 5 or above monster by sacrificing one or more monsters on your field." Tatsuya explained.
"Right, you got it!" Shuzo said. "You've been keeping up with studies."
"This lecture is boring!" A chubby kid with a German accent said.
"We all know this already!" A girl with red hair complained.
The chubby kid had lime green slicked up hair and orange eyes. He wears a green short sleeved hoodie with a bear on it and orange shorts with blue shoes.
The red haired had golden eyes and a multicoloured headband. She wore a cream t-shirt with a striped pink and red shirt. She also had a skirt and long black socks.
"I Fusion Summon using my vanilla ice cream and chocolate pudding!" A boy with cyan hair whispered as he was eating food. "Be eaten prince of desserts." He wore a blue jacket with a yellow and orange trim over black t-shirt. He also had a pair of grey cargo shorts with brown shoes.
"Hey! You shouldn't be eating in class!" A green haired boy with goggles said. Said boy had maroon hair that faded to green with yellow goggles that had a star on one lens. He has the same white and red jacket but in his shoulders like a cape as well as green trousers.
"Of course I should, it's delicious! Wanna try a bite Yuya?" He offered the goggled boy.
"No way!" Yuya declined. "If I even thought of it Yuzu would clobber me with her fan." He turned to look at his best friend.
Yuzu, a girl with pink hair wearing a female version of the junior high uniform.
"She's not smacking me?" Yuya said in surprise. 'She's been weird since yesterday.'
"Well then, next up's Fusion Summoning." Shuzo continued on. "Sora, would you like to explain to everyone?"
"Now I activate my donut's special effect!" Shuzo got confused as the now named Sora said that. "My Pudding Prince increases in flavour!"
"Sora, are you seriously eating in class?!" Shuzo shouted at the cyan haired boy.
"Dad, what about XZY Summoning?" Yuzu stood up and asked curiously.
"Huh, XYZ?" Shuzo wondered.
"You haven't taught us about XYZ yet, haven't you?" Yuzu asked.
"N-no I haven't." Shuzo rubbed his chin. "I can't teach something I haven't done, even LID only started to teach it. Why are you so interested all of a sudden?"
"No reason…" Yuzu sat back down and quickly glanced at Yuya. 'Right, there's no way that could've been Yuya. But…'
"WHAT?! An ambush?!" A loud voice boomed from outside. "Yuya would never do such a cowardly thing!"
"Gongenzaka?" Yuya questioned.
"Hey-hey calm down big guy." Another voice said. Everyone made their way outside to see Gongenzaka and Hareta, the smaller boy trying to hold back the big manly man.
"What the heck is going on here?" Shuzo demanded.
"Oh principle!" Gongenzaka turned to the principle. "I, the manly Gongenzaka, was out here working to my harden my legs when I saw these three spying through the windows. It wasn't until I met Hareta here and we confronted them."
"Hareta?" Yuya and Yuzu asked as they looked over the teen.
"Uh, hey." Hareta waved nervously.
'Is it me, or does he look familiar?' Yuya thought to himself.
"And they then inexplicably accused Yuya of ambushing them late last night while they were unaware!" Gongenzaka said.
"Ambushed?!" Shuzo said in shock.
"ME?!" Yuya exclaimed.
"That's right, don't act like you forgot!" Underling A pointed at the goggle head.
"We were there, and we saw you with our own eyes!" Underling B said.
"There were five people who saw you that day!" Underling C grinned.
"Five people?" Gongenzaka got out in surprise.
"Yeah, Shingo, us and so was she!" Underling B pointed at Yuzu.
"Is this true Yuzu?" Gongenzaka turned to the pinkette. "Did you see Yuya there as well?"
"What did you see?" Shuzo asked his daughter.
"The perp's face!" Underling A said.
"She saw the face of Yuya Sakaki's, who attacked Shingo Sawatari, son of Maiami City's next mayor!"
"Don't lie!" Tatsuya said as the four younger members of the school stood in front to defend them. "Big bro Yuya would never do such a thing!"
"It was Shingo that was gonna attack him!" The red-haired girl spoke up. "Big sis Yuzu stayed to stop him by giving him a piece of her mind!"
"Wa-wait a sec…" Shuzo rubbed the back of his head. "Yuzu duelled and not Yuya?"
"Yup!" The red-haired girl nodded.
"And her opponent was…."
"Shingo!" The red-haired girl continued.
"But that means…" Shuzo seemed to get it very slowly. "Yuzu ambushed them?!"
"Wrong!" All three Underlings yelled.
"We keep saying it was Yuya!" Underling A facepalmed.
"He attacked Shingo in cold blood!" Underling B said.
"Poor Shingo," Underling C put on a whole dramatic act. "He's in the hospital with serious injuries."
"The hospital?!" Yuya got out on shock.
"No way!" Yuzu put a hand over her mouth in shock.
"His injuries might be life threatening!" Underling C said in a worried tone.
"And if anything happens to him, you'll be held responsible!" Underling A said.
"Responsible? But I…" Yuya was still processing all this. "Hey, say something Yuzu. You saw something right?"
"Yeah I did, but…." Yuzu got a concerned face, which was also shown on Yuya.
"No way, you don't really think I did it do you Yuzu?" Yuya asked with dread in his eyes.
"Well…." Yuzu was going to continue but stopped.
'Maybe I came at the wrong time…' Hareta thought to himself.
"Is there any photographic or video evidence of Mr Sakaki doing these allegations?" A new voice said. Everyone looked at said voice as the purple haired girl came into view. "If you have nothing to support these allegations you have no real way of accusing Mr Sakaki."
"Of course we have proof, we were there and so was she!" Underling B pointed at Yuzu. "That's good enough proof!"
"I'm afraid that's not how it works." The purple haired girl put her hands behind her back and walked in front of the three Underlings. "According to article A subsection C if you accuse someone of any kind of assault proof is needed to support these claims in a court of law."
Everyone was silent at the random purple-haired girl who just came from nowhere.
"Hey listen here, we got them on the ropes." Underling A whispered and walked up to the girl, pointing at her. "So back off before we-!"
He didn't finish as the purple haired girl grabbed his hand and lightly crushed it with her bare hand.
"I will have to kindly ask you and your associates to leave." She still had the politest face as she crushed Underling A's bones.
"Okay…" Underling A whimpered as she let go and the three backed away and whimpered. The purple haired girl turned back to everyone and bowed with a smile.
"It's nice to meet you all, I am Eve." She then turned to Hareta. "It's also nice to finally meet you Mr Kaiba."
"Kaiba?!" All the others asked in surprise as Hareta sweat dropped.
"Hold on, Hareta Kaiba?" Yuya looked over the teen some more. "Holy hell it is you!" Yuya jumped in excitement and ran over to the brunette to hug him. "Yuzu, it's Hareta. Remember, from when we were kids?"
"Oh my god it is!" Yuzu realised as she joined in on the hug.
"Wow, ten years and you guys really do remember me?" Hareta let out a little chuckle.
"Hold on, you know him?" Gongenzaka asked the two.
"Oh right." Yuya cleared his throat as he and Yuzu let go of the hug. "Hareta here was our friend when the three of us were younger."
"Yeah, but then one day he had to move because of….well never mind." Yuzu shook her head.
"Well look how much you've grown kiddo." Shuzo gasped as he ruffled Hareta's hair.
"Yeah I guess I did." Hareta shrugged. "So are you gonna introduce me to your friend or not?"
"Oh right." First Yuya walked over to the red head. "This is Ayu."
"Hi!" the now named Ayu said. "Any friend of Yuya and Yuzu is a friend of mine!"
"This is Tatsuya."
"Nice to meet you." Tatsuya said.
"Futoshi."
"Hello, I like to say shivers a lot." Futoshi waved.
"Sora."
"Nice to meet ya, hope we can be friends." Sora said with his hands behind his head.
"And you already met Gongenzaka."
"A pleasure." Gongenzaka bowed.
"Now how about you introduce us you your friend?" Yuzu motioned to the purple haired girl, who just stood there idly.
"I….um…..don't know her." Hareta admitted.
"My name is Eve; I am from the Kaiba Corporation. As you may know the corporation has fallen to becoming bankrupt, so I have been sent to help see through Mr Kaiba his school and Duel School life so that he can become the next company president." Eve explained.
"Oh, okay." Hareta blinked in confusion.
"It will be a pleasure to work with you Mr Kaiba." She bowed again, which seemed to embarrass Hareta.
"Hey, we're still here ya know!" Underling A, B and C said in annoyed tones.
"Oh right, you're still here." Hareta sighed.
"Just know, if anything happens to Shingo the police will break down this place's door!" Underling A said as he rubbed his acing hand.
"Police?!" Shuzo panicked.
I would be happy to properly explain this whole situation." A woman's voice said, revealing to be Himika.
"Y-y-you're from LID aren't you?" Shuzo asked.
"Yes, I am Himika Akaba, the chairwoman of the bored of directors." She introduced. "Let's talk inside shall we?"
[Inside You Show meeting room]
"Everything those boy said is true." Himika said. "One of our students, Shingo Sawatari, testified that he was attacked by none other than Yuya Sakaki."
"I didn't!" Yuya defended himself. "I would never do such a thing!"
"I, the manly Gongenzaka, believe Yuya." Gongenzaka spoke up. "Don't you guys?"
"Of course!" The three younger duellists said.
"What about you Yuzu?" Gongenzaka asked the pinkette, who didn't answer.
'Is she okay, she hasn't said a thing yet.' Hareta thought to himself.
"Yuya," Yuzu lowered her head slightly. "You didn't really do it did you?"
"I don't know what Yuzu and those other guys saw, but I never attacked Shingo." He said with full seriousness.
"Well as touching as this is," Everyone looked back at Himika. "We cannot back down from this either. If word got out that a LID student lost a duel, the school's reputation as number one school would be tarnished."
"But there's no proof that-" Eve was interrupted as Himika slammed her hand on the table in front of her.
"That doesn't matter!" The chairwoman shouted. "The problem is that our school's appearance has been ruined!" A fiery aura surrounded her. "Now our schools shall fight each other!"
"A Duel Contest?" Shuzo asked shocked, which followed everyone else except Sora and Eve.
"If you should manage to win, we will overlook this whole incident. But if we win, we take possession of the You Show Duel School." Himika explained which made Yuya's eyes widen.
"What did you say?!" Yuya growled.
"No way!" Yuzu gasped.
"So clearing your name isn't enough for you?!" Gongenzaka growled. "You've gotta try take ours as well?!"
"Ms Akaba, I've heard about your school buying out many Duel Schools around the globe." Shuzo said. "So now you're after ours as well." Himika only smiled in response. "Don't tell me you're the one who orchestrated this attack?"
"That's not the case." Himika shook his head. "But I like an opportunity when I see it. An opportunity to add Pendulum Summoning to our arsenal."
"Pendulum?" Hareta quietly wondered.
"And as of now, it is being wasted in your hands Principle Higara." She smirked again. "The Leo Institution of Duelling can use their technological knowledge can add Pendulum Summoning to its curriculum for countless students to learn. A lot of Duellist who admire that way of summoning Yuya, wouldn't you like to share?"
"But it can't be done without Yuya's Pendulum Cards." Tatsuya said.
"Using LID's power, that won't become a problem." Himika said. "That is precisely why it would serve our schools best to merge." She then thought to herself. 'And once we do, I'll get to look more into exactly what Yuya Sakaki is.'
"But still…" Yuya gripped his fist. "Duels aren't meant to be used as tools for fights! I won't let anyone steal You Show or Pendulum Summoning! You Show was made by my dad to create the next era of Duelling Entertainers, we won't be handing over our future!"
"Well said Yuya!" Gongenzaka said as he wiped away impressed tears. "I, the manly Gongenzaka, am in agreement! I shall fight aside you!"
"But you're an outsider." Sora said, which made Gongenzaka freeze. "If we're gonna fight for the school, it should be Yuya, Yuzu and me."
"You dare banish the manly Gongenzaka?!" Gongenzaka shouted. "That's unforgivable!"
"Well it seems the students all feel the same." Himika sighed.
"I too feel the same." Shuzo said as he stood up. "We won't…"
"Give up our school!" All the students said.
"Then shall we get started?" Himika grinned.
So for the rest of the day the students of You Show and the Leo Institute duelled their hearts out.
The first duel was against Yuya and Hokuto Shijima. He used an XYZ Constellar Deck, which in the end ended with Yuya getting the advantage of XYZ Monsters not having levels and using his Stargazer Magician to increase Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's ATK.
"Wow, so that was Pendulum Summoning." Hareta said as the holograms faded.
"Yep, amazing right?" Sora said.
"Truly a fascinating new summoning method." Eve complimented.
Yuya walked out of the duel arena with his hands behind his back. "Alright, who's next?"
"I'll go next." Yuzu said as she got a determined face. "I'll make sure to win this duel!"
The next duel was between Yuzu and Masumi Kotsu. Kotsu used a Fusion Gem Knight Deck that overpowered against Yuzu's Diva deck.
After the duel ended, Yuya ran down to the arena to check on his friend. "Yuzu…Yuzu!" Yuya said in a worried tone as she fluttered her eyes open. "You're not hurt are you?"
"No, I'm fine." She answered.
"That's good." He smiled, until Yuzu stumbled onto his chest.
'What am I doing?' Yuzu thought. 'Yuya's right here, and yet I don't believe a word of his. And I went and got myself all worried for nothing. Just like that girl said, I was fooled.'
"I certainly didn't expect to see this." Masumi said in a teasing tone.
'Ooh but I did.' Hareta chuckled as he took a pic on his phone.
Yuzu noticed what she was doing and pushed Yuya away.
"Alright Sora, it's up to you now!" Gongenzaka said as Sora licked away at a lollipop. "We're all counting on you to save You Show!"
"Hmm, I dunno. I don't feel like it." Sora shrugged. "You can take the next one Gong."
"Y-you'll let me do it?!" Gongenzaka said with tears in his eyes.
"Yeah, I got a bad feeling about this guy." Sora glanced a look at the final duellist.
"I'm counting on you Gongenzaka." Yuya said happily as he patted the bigger guy's shoulder.
"Just leave it to me!" Gongenzaka gripped his hand into a fist. "Betting the good name of stationary duelling at the Gongenzaka Dojo, I will definitely win!"
The third duel was between Gongenzaka and Yaiba Tabo. It was an epic battle between two armies, Super Heavy Samurai and a Synchro X Sabers. The duel ended with a draw.
"Gongenzaka!" Yuya said in worry for his best friend. "Are you alright? Hang in there!"
"My apologies." Gongenzaka grunted as he stood himself up. "I couldn't beat him, not even with my Gongenzaka Style steadfast duel."
"What are you talking about? You managed to end it in a draw!" Yuya assured. "You showed us how strong your deck really is."
"I gotta admit." The two looked at Hareta who was giving a small applause. "That was one of the greatest duel I've ever witnessed….of all time."
"Thank you Hareta!" Gongenzaka wrapped Hareta in a bone crushing hug.
"The result of this contest is one win, one loss and one draw." Shuzo said. "Chairwoman Akaba, you bet that if you won two out of three you'd get our school, but the result is a draw."
"Then we'll have one last tie breaker. The winner of the last duels will partake in this one." Himika proposed.
"You just came up with that!" Shuzo shouted.
"Yuya…" Yuzu said in a worried tone.
"It seems you're ready for round four." Himika said. "Then let's-"
"Wait." A calm voice said as a man came from around the corner to reveal it was Reiji. "I shall settle the score with him."
Yuya turned to him and was about to respond until Hareta walked in front of him. "Yuya, let me duel this guy."
"Are you sure?" Yuya asked with concern for his friend.
"Positively." Hareta smirked as he put on a pair of fingerless gloves and his black Duel Disk. "It's nice to meet you at last….Reiji Akaba."
"So you've heard of me?" Reiji asked with the slightest hint of surprise.
"Yeah, I've got to know about any and all opposing companies, especially the Leo Corporation."
"Alright then, your name?" Reiji asked.
"Kaiba, Hareta Kaiba." He introduced.
Himika eyed the brunette with curiosity. 'So this is the heir to the Kaiba Corporation? It matters not, he won't stand a chance against Reiji's power.'
"This is the final match Hareta! Win this for You Show!" Yuya said as Hareta and Reiji entered the arena. "Give us a good show!"
"You can do it Hareta!" Tatsuya, Ayu and Futoshi cheered.
'Hmm, I wonder…' Sora thought to himself. "Hey Yuya, Yuzu, what deck does Hareta have?"
"Um, I don't know actually…" Yuya rubbed his head. "It has been ten years. I think it was Beast types."
"No-no it was Warrior types wasn't it? Or was it Dinosaur?" Yuzu wondered.
"That's enough from the cheering squad." Reiji said. "Remain quiet while we duel."
"Alright then, what duel field do you want?" Hareta asked as he cracked his knuckles.
"You are free to pick." Reiji pushed up his glasses.
"Alright, you heard him Mr Higara!" Hareta shouted at Shuzo. "Pick a good one!"
'Okay, so Hareta is counting on me to pick a good one.' Shuzo thought to himself. "But if that boy really is Reiji Akaba then Hareta is basically going against a pro." He then thought of the perfect field. "Alright it's time to set the stage! Action Field on! Field Spell, Day Break Town!" The arena shimmered as it turned into a flooded ruined town.
The two Duellist turned on their Duel Disks, Reiji's was white with a red light and Hareta's was black with a yellow light.
"Duellists locked in battle!" Yuya and Yuzu began at the same time.
"Kicking against the earth and dancing in the air with their monsters!" Tatsuya continued.
"They storm through this field!" Futoshi added.
"Behold, this is the greatest evolution of duelling!" Ayu finished.
"ACTION…"
"DUEL!" Reiji and Hareta said at the same time as cards scattered everywhere.
Hareta: 4000
Reiji: 4000
"I'll let you go first, I'm a gracious host." Hareta said.
"I humbly accept." Reiji said as he took a card from his deck. "First I activate three Spell Cards, the first is Dark Contract with the Gate! This card inflicts 1000 points of damage to me during my next Standby Phase."
'He's dealing damage to himself?' Hareta wondered.
"Additionally, once per turn I can add one Leve 4 DD Monster from my deck and add it to my hand." He explained as he took a card and showed it. "I'll take DD-Cerberus into my hand."
"DD?" Futoshi asked.
"Different Dimension…" Sora said which got the younger ones' attention. "Those monsters are said to be out of this world."
"The second spell is…..Dark Contract with the Gate!" He played the exact same spell.
"Another one?" Hareta asked.
"Just like before, I can take a Level 4 or below DD monster, and this time I choose DD-Lilith to my hand! And the third spell I'll play is Dark Contract with the Swamp King! This card also inflicts 1000 points of damage during my Standby Phase."
"Then that means it'll be at…." Hareta said.
"3000 points of damage?!" Yuya asked in shock.
"Why are you blasting away so many life points in the first turn?" Hareta asked but got no answer.
"Dark Contract with the Swamp King allows me to Fusion Summon without using a fusion spell. The monsters I choose to fuse are DD-Cerberus and DD-Lilith!" Both monsters appeared and swirled into a portal. "Hellhound flash your vicious fangs, enchantress seduce beings in the dead of night! Become one and birth the new king, Fusion Summon! DDD-Flame King Genghis!"

"He's a Fusion Summoner?" Gongenzaka asked aloud.
"But why would he take such a high risk to summon that monster?" Yuya wondered.
"There's no record of Reiji Akaba using Fusion Summoning." Shuzo said as he looked over a tablet. "Can you win this Hareta?"
"I set two cards face down and end my turn." Reiji put his last two cards down. 'Now show me what kind of deck you have Hareta.'
"My draw!" Hareta drew his sixth card. "I'll start by summoning Mechanical Brawler Platinum in ATK mode!" Appearing on his field was a blue muscular robot with black 'hair'. "And yes, he is a Jojo reference!"
"Ora!" The robot shouted as it threw a few punches.
(Attribute: Earth
Level: 4
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1200
Type: Machine)
"And I discard one card to activate my Lightning Vortex spell! With it all monsters on your field are destroyed." A bolt of lighting struck down on Genghis. "Now Platinum, attack him directly!"
"I activate the Action Spell Evasion!" Reiji said as he picked up a card. "Your monster's attack is negated."
A barrier appeared in front of Reiji as Platinum punched the barrier at high speed whilst yelling 'Ora-Ora-Ora' over and over until he stopped.
"Not bad, I end my turn with a face down." Hareta said as Platinum jumped back to his side.
"Now all those cards are gonna deal Reiji a whopping 3000 ATK points!" Tatsuya counted.
"I don't think so." Sora spoke up. "I don't think he'd make a stupid mistake like that." Reiji smiled as all three of his Contracts were destroyed.
"What happened?" Yuzu asked with surprise.
"Why are his Contracts destroyed?" Yuya asked.
"The Contracts were nullified when I played my Trap Card, Contract Laundering." Reiji showed off his trap. "This negates all my Dark Contracts and destroys them. And for each destroyed I get to draw one card." He drew three cards.
'So he did it to refresh his hand.' Hareta realised.
"Pardon me asking, but what does Duelling mean to you?" Reiji asked, which at first confused Hareta.
"Well Duelling is to bring smiles, fun, and entertainment to people who watch it. Some people see Duelling as a way to find profit, but it should be used to show the world excitement and bring laughs to all." Hareta gave his reason.
"What a naïve way of thinking, you're too kind." Reiji sighed. "Kindness has no room on a battlefield."
"Hey, kindness and weakness have nothing to do with each other. Weak is the only thing you can't associate with me." Hareta said.
"My turn." Reiji drew. "I play Monster Reborn to summon DDD-Flame King Genghis from my graveyard." Said monster came out of the portal.
(Attribute: Fire
Level: 6
ATK: 2000
DEF: 1500
Type: Fiend)
"Just great…" Hareta groaned.
"Next I summon DD-Night Howl in ATK mode!"
(Attribute: Dark
Level: 3
ATK: 300
DEF: 300
Type: Fiend)
"A Tuner monster?" Yuya asked.
"No way!" Gongenzaka said.
"Now the true show begins." Himika smirked.
"When this monster is successfully summoned, I can select one Level 4 or below monster from my graveyard and summon it, but it's ATK is zero. I summon DD-Lilith!"
(Attribute: Dark
Level: 4
ATK:100-0000
DEF: 2100
Type: Fiend)
"Now I tune level 3 DD-Night Howl and DD-Lilith! Howl that cuts through darkness, become the first cry of the king that mastered the speed of a gale itself! Synchro Summon! DDD-Gust King Alexander!"
(Attribute: Wind
Level: 7
ATK: 2500
DEF: 2000
Type: Fiend)
"You can Synchro summon as well?" Hareta asked with wide eyes.
"But I'm not done yet!" Reiji proclaimed. "I activate Genghis' effect, when another DDD monster is special summoned I can special summon one DD monster from my grave! Be reborn again DD-Lilith! Now for Alexander's effect, I can summon one DD monster from my Graveyard when it is special summoned. Be reborn DD-Cerberus!" The two monster came back to the field.
'Two level fours? Does that mean…?' Hareta thought.
"I overlay level four DD-Lilith and DD-Cerberus!" Both monsters turned into energy and flew into a black portal in the water beneath them. "In order to take over the world, descend now and rule what is yours!"
All the students of You Show looked in shock as Reiji summoned something powerful again.
"XYZ Summon! Be born Rank four DDD-Wave King Caesar!"
(Attribute: Water
Rank: 4
ATK: 2400
DEF: 1200
Type: Fiend)
"Even XYZ monsters." Sora said lost for words.
"This guy's something else." Gongenzaka narrowed his eyes. "Able to use three summoning methods."
Reiji adjusted his glasses. "DDD stands for Different Dimension Demon. I've prepared a full taste of the power of the three kings that rule that dimension. I hope your monsters are up for the task."
"My Mechanical Empire can take anything you throw at them!" Hareta said.
"Battle! I attack Mechanical Brawler Platinum with DDD-Flame King Genghis!" Said King flew across the water towards the robot.
"I play my Scrap-Iron Scarecrow Trap card!" An old scarecrow appeared in front of Platinum just as the sword would hit him.
"Well now I attack with DDD-Gust King Alexander!" Alexander flew to the sky towards the machine.
"I play the effect of my Mechanical Protector Scrapster! I banish this card from my graveyard and negate your attack!" A machine that looked like a bundle of scrap metal appeared with a giant shield on his right arm. It moved the shield and blocked Alexander.
"I play Mystical Space Typhoon, destroying your Scarecrow!" A small typhoon blew over to the facedown card and destroyed it. "Impressive, you were able to block my Kings' attacks." Reiji complimented. "You've clearly been taught to play well."
"Um…thanks." Hareta replied a little hesitant.
Watching from around the corner, the hooded man gazed at Hareta as if waiting for something. "Come on kid, use the Humagear. Bring his extinction."
"My turn! Draw!" Hareta announced. "I summon Mechanical Speedster Flash in ATK Mode!" Coming to his field was a red robot with golden lightning travelling though his body.
(Attribute: Light
Level: 3
ATK: 700
DEF: 1100
Type: Machine/Tuner)
"Now I tune my level 3 Flash with level 4 Platinum, Synchro Summon! Mechanical Paladin Atlas!" Flash ran around Platinum and turned into three green circles that surround and turned Platinum into four stars. There was a flash and what stood there was a giant white and blue robot with a gatling gun on its left hand.
(Attribute: Earth
Level: 7
ATK: 2600
DEF: 2000
Type: Machine)
"No way!" Yaiba exclaimed. "That kid knows how to Synchro Summon?!"
"Alright Atlas, attack Flame King Genghis! Rabid Robo Blast!" He jumped atop the robot as it ignited a jet pack and flew upwards to one of the higher buildings. Hareta jumped off to grab an Action Card. "And while we're at it, I'll play the Action Card High Dive! Atlas now gains 1000 ATK points!"
(Mechanical Paladin Atlas ATK: 2600-3600)
Atlas aimed his left arm as the gatling gun fired a barrage of blue lasers. They drilled through Genghis who exploded.
Reiji: 4000-2400
"Now for Atlas' effect! When he successfully destroys a monster you have to take damage equal to the cards in my hand x100. I've got four!"
Reiji: 2400-2000
Hareta then ran and jumped from the top of one building to the window of another. "And thanks to this Action Card," He picked it up to reveal it to be Wonder Chance. "I can have Atlas attack again! Go for Alexander!"
Atlas aimed its' gun at the Synchro King and let loose its' attack. Although Reiji found another Action Card and used it.
"Well I play Damage Banish! The damage becomes zero!" As Atlas finished blasting Alexander, Hareta jumped atop him again.
"But you still get hurt from the effect."
Reiji: 2000-1600
"Well look here, I found another Wonder Chance." Hareta picked up the card off a lamppost. "Atlas, attack Cesar!"
Reiji jumped to a smaller building to take another card. "I play Energy Mate! This gives me 500 life points!"
Reiji: 1600-2100
Atlas once again took aim and fired, destroying Cesar.
Reiji: 2100-900
"And now the effect!"
Reiji jumped off the building and landed on a floating piece of debris to get an Action Card. "I play the Spell Pain Station! This gives me life points rather than damage!"
Reiji: 900-1300
The smoke from the third attack cleared, and left Hareta with a shocked expression. "No way…"
Standing before him and Atlas were all three Kings.
"You're kidding…" Yuzu said.
"They should be destroyed." Tatsuya gasped.
"So why aren't they?" Gongenzaka growled.
"I activated Wave King Cesar's special ability. By using one Overlay Unit, I can resurrect as many monsters as I want that were destroyed this turn." Reiji explained.
"Damn, that's actually kinda cool." Hareta admitted.
"Naturally a benefit like this comes with quite the cost, I take 1000 points of damage for each monster revived. But I now play Trap DDD-Resource Management! Using this card, I can return all DDD monster on my field to my deck and I get to draw two cards."
"See? Since the monsters aren't on the field anymore so he won't take any damage." Sora said.
"But what kind of benefit does that bring?" Ayu asked.
"I guess he gets two cards." Tatsuya said.
"I place a cards face down and end my turn." Hareta sighed. "And High Dive's effect wears off."
(Mechanical Paladin Atlas ATK: 3600-2600)
"I gotta say Reiji, using three different summoning methods is really impressive. I'm excited for what other surprise you have next." Hareta said as Atlas dropped him off on a building.
"You're quite the Duellist yourself." Reiji pushed up his glasses. "To know only Synchro and deal that much damage in one turn is impressive. I'd expect that from a Kaiba."
"Thanks, it's all I really know. I'm only now getting taught Fusion but XYZ is really tricky for me." He rubbed the back of his neck.
'Hmm, so he knows Synchro and Fusion but not XYZ.' Reiji thought. "I think now's about time to finish this duel!"
"Huh?" Hareta wondered.
"Yuya Sakaki! It is time to prove that Pendulum Summoning is not only yours! I use Scale 1 DD-Magical Sage Galilei and Scale 10 DD-Magical Sage Kepler!" Two columns of light rose from either side of Reiji as the two monster also rose. "To set the Pendulum Scale, now I can summon monsters from Level two through nine!"
"Those are Pendulum Cards!" Gongenzaka gasped.
"No way!" Yuzu said.
"The grand power swaying my soul itself! Pendulum Summon my monsters! The three transcendent deities that dominate over all kings! DDD-Doom King Armageddon!"
(Attribute: Dark
Level: 8
ATK: 3000
DEF: 1000
Type: Fiend) X3
"Holy…." Hareta's mouth hung open.
"Three monsters with 3000 ATK points?!" Sora said with disbelief.
"How…..how did he Pendulum Summon?" Yuya asked all shook up.
"Now attack Doom King! Attack Atlas!" Doom King Armageddon opened its chest slightly and fired a huge laser at Atlas.
Hareta: 4000-3400
"Hareta move!" Yuzu shouted, but it was as if he couldn't hear them. Eve also noticed this.
'Oh god I'm terrified.' He thought to himself.
"Mr Kaiba I'd recommend you start running away." He heard a voice come from his Duel Disk.
'Was that Eve's voice?'
"Now my Second Doom King Armageddon, attack him directly!" The second monster fired another laser from its chest.
Hareta: 3400-400
The blast sent Hareta off the building as he fell down towards the water. As he fell he managed to catch onto a ledge and pull himself through the broken window. He looked out the other side of the building to see Doom King hovering menacingly in front.
"As nice as this has been, Doom King Armageddon finish this now!" The last Doom King charged its laser.
"Sir your Trap card!"
"Oh right, I activate-!" He didn't finish as Doom King blasted and destroyed the building which crumbled down.
"Hareta!" Yuya and Yuzu called out to their friend.
"To think he lost like that." Sora said with disbelief.
"Magnificent Reiji. Now that you're able to perfectly use Pendulum Summon You Show is no longer a threat." She giggled to herself.
'I can't believe he used Pendulum Summoning.' Shuzo thought to himself. 'Just how much power does the Leo Corporation have?'
The smoke from the crumbled building cleared, and everyone saw that Hareta still stood on a piece of floating rubble.
Hareta: 400-3400
"But how?" Reiji asked with surprise.
"Easy, I activated my Draining Shield Trap Card." He panted. "Now the attacking monster's ATK points is added to me as life points."
"Wow, he managed to save it." Yaiba huffed.
"He may actually be a skilled Duellist." Masumi said.
"That was a close one sir." Eve said as Hareta stood up.
"How the hell are you talking to me?"
"I am speaking through your Duel Disk Mr Kaiba." She explained. "Surprising as it may seem, I am not human. I am an AI inside a robotic body created by Kaiba Corp. I awoke the second it went bankrupt with my mission to find you."
"Well as big of a shock this is…..I got a duel to win." He grunted as he stood up straight.
"I set one card face down. What will you do now, Hareta Kaiba?" Reiji crossed his arms.
"I'll tell what I'm gonna do. I'm going to save my friends' school, I'm going to make sure they achieve their dream of a future where Duelling brings smiles! Listen here Reiji, there's only one person who can stop you." He spun around and pointed at himself. "And that's me!"
'Interesting.' Eve thought to herself before her eyes lit up slightly. 'Initiating Zero One protocol.'
"Here….I…..go! Draw!" He took his next card and was surprised when some of them started to glow. And became even more surprised when they became Pendulum Cards and the Humagear card changed to a different card entirely. "What the?"
Hareta looked over his cards before he had a determined smile and looked back at Reiji. "Business is going good."
All the students in the viewing rooms looked at Hareta curiously.
"To start my turn, I use my Scale 1 Mechanical Blazer Traunt and my Scale 10 Mechanical Assassin Zero to set the Pendulum Scale!" Hareta shouted, which shocked everyone.
"WHAT THE-?!" The You Show students gasped.
Two pillars of light appeared on either side of Hareta. In the first one was a bulky war machine with a flamethrower on each arm and a big backpack.
"TRA~~~~~~UNT!" Traunt flexed Usain Bolt style and shot fire as he did so.
The second pillar had a skinnier grey robot with a katana on his back. His head had a black visor completely covering the front half with a holographic 0 in front of it. He said nothing but only huffed.
'No way, Hareta has Pendulum Cards?' Yuya thought to himself.
"With this I can simultaneously summon monsters from Level two through nine. Now then, production is set, let me show you our newest products!"
Another light started to glow directly in front of Hareta.
"Pendulum Summon! Kamen Rider Zero One Rising Hopper!" He slapped the card on.
"No…it can't be…!" The hooded man gasped. "My Humagear!"
JUMP!
AUTHORISE!
Jumping out of the light was a giant yellow technological grasshopper. As a sort of techno standby noise played, it bounced around creating splashes in the water.
"Kamen…?" Yuya asked.
"Rider…?" Yuzu asked.
"Zero…?" Gongenzaka asked.
"One…?" Sora asked.
"Rising…?" Masumi, Yaiba and Hokuto asked.
"Hopper?" Ayu, Tatsuya and Futoshi asked.
From within the glow of the light, Hareta could see the silhouette of a someone waking out. It had a black and yellow belt as well as some sort of card in its hand. It flipped the card, making it look like a key, and shoved it inside the belt.
PROGRISE!
The grasshopper bounced once more, this time towards the silhouette until it split into different pieces of data and infused onto the silhouette.
TO-BIA GA RISE! RISSING HOPPER!
The silhouette was now in a black bodysuit with silver lines on the arms as well as some small bits of red. There was neon yellow on his chest and legs as well as the head looking like a grasshopper with red eyes.
A Jump to the Sky turns to a Rider Kick…

"Alright, now it's time." Hareta gripped his hand into a fist. "Zero One, attack DDD-Doom King Armageddon! Grasshopper Crash!"
"Yes, Mr Kaiba." Zero One pressed in the card again, making the belt glow.
RISING IMPACT!
A faint image of that mechanical grasshopper appeared behind him as energy travelled down to his legs.
"EH?!" All the kids gasped.
"Why is he attacking?!" Futoshi asked in shock.
"Doom King Armageddon has 3000 ATK points, his Zero One only has 2600." Tatsuya did the math.
"It's got an effect." Everyone looked at Yuya as he explained. "Sometimes when monsters are in the Pendulum Zone, they have special effects."
"I activate Mechanical Assassin Zero's Pendulum Effect!" As long as he and another Machine Type monster is in the Pendulum Zone, I can destroy one Spell or Trap you have, and you only got one! Get 'em Zero!"
"Trap is set to be deployed/I obey the Boss's orders/I go to strike!/" Zero said as he took out a few kunai and threw them at the set card, destroying it.
"Did his robot just speak in Haiku?" Himika wondered.
"Next I play Traunt's Pendulum Effect! If my life points are lower than yours, I can increase one monster's ATK points. But, if your life points are lower than mine, I can decrease the ATK of one of your monsters by 500!"
Traunt aimed his flamethrowers at one of Doom Kings and blasted it with fire.
(DDD-Doom King Armageddon ATK: 3000-2500)
"And now for Zero One Rising Hopper's effect! He gains 200 ATK for every Pendulum Monster on the field! You have five, and I have three."
"That's a 1600 ATK point boost!" Shuzo said over the intercom.
(Kamen Rider Zero One Rising Hopper ATK: 2600-4200)
Zero One ran and jumped across multiple floating debris as he made his way to the weakened Doom King. He jumped to the apex of his height as all the energy transferred to his right boot. He stretched out his leg as the kick connected, and he went through the body of Doom King.
R!

Zero One landed as Doom King was destroyed, and the duel won.
Reiji: 1300-0000
(End song)
The holograms disappeared as the duel field went back to normal.
"I….I won?" Hareta asked in disbelief.
"He did it!" Yuzu and Gongenzaka cheered.
"Yay!" The three youngest cheered.
"That was…incredibly hot blooded!" Shuzo yelled with tears of joy.
"Impossible! There's no way Reiji lost a duel!" Himika hissed.
"Quite impressive." Reiji complimented as he turned his Duel Disk off. "I will keep my promise." His Duel Disk flashed as a video chat with someone came on. "What is it Nakajima?" The man named Nakajima told him the situation quietly which gave Reiji an unpleasant expression. "Excuse me, but we must now leave."
Reiji turned away as he left the Duel Arena, the rest of the Leo Institute following out of You Show. As Hareta left the Arena, he was bombarded with questions from all the others with Eve just standing there politely.
"Guys-guys please….just….gimme some space…." He said before passing out.
"Hareta!"
A/N: There it is, my Zero One Crossover. Again I am so sorry about all the people who sent in OC for Kamen Duellist GX I will still use them for this so don't worry.
Again I'm sorry, I just didn't feel like writing GX anymore I lost inspiration. Hopefully this will suffice.
So anyway I'll see y'all next time.
BYE, BYE.
