Yuko and Kenji had high energies. Their friends could feel the intensity between the two. This duel was different from any duel they've had in the past. This time, they were both dueling with every inch of power they had and there was no gurantee on who would win. Yuko and Kenji were finally equally matched.
"Your three Battle Phases have passed, so our monsters that were banished by Chemical Excursion come back!!" Yuko cried as a portal opened over the field. Tora flew out of it followed by Meteor Yuan Dragon. The angel aimed its arrow at Kenji's three dragon as they blew snow, fire, and lighting from their mouths. "Welcome back Tora."
"Nice to have you back Meteor Yuan." Kenji said smirking. He was actually enjoying himself for once. Kenji looked up at his dragons and decided to step his game up. He smiled and his blue eyes glowed and his body was engulfed in a grey light. "I enter my Main Phase 2!"
Yuko stepped back a bit. He wasn't used to Kenji's power just yet. Tammi had told him everything about the Itaru name and he wasn't suprised. If anything, it allowed him to respect Tammi and Kenji more. "Yin, Yang, and Yuan." He laughed. "I should've seen this coming!"
"I don't think your ready for what I have in store. Not even your forbidden cards will stand a chance against this!! I meld my dragons to unleash the Tao Force!!"

•Yuko(3500): Draws.
{I was hoping to draw something like this. Good thing I have Diron's cards}-Yuko
"Why's Yuko smiling like that?"-Benta
"He's about to even out the playing field."-Tammi
"What?"-Benta
"Check this Kenji!"-Yuko
Activates Twilight Change-Dawn Force.
"By tributing up to two Zeo Monsters, I can Special Summon a Light or Dark Attribute Zeo Monster from my Extra Deck for each monster I tributed!!"-Yuko
Tributes Terradin and Aquician to Special Summon Imperial Nightfall Crusader(Dark/Lv.4/2000 atk) and Imperial Dayrise Paladin(Light/Lv.4/2000 atk) from his Extra Deck.
Kenji admired Yuko's two newest monsters. He just realized how much better Yuko has gotten at dueling. When first met Yuko, he was reckless and out-spoken. Now Yuko matured and his dueling has shown that. He still seems a bit reckless, but at least now he thinks about his actions. "Impressive."
"Thanks Kenji." Yuko could see Kenji's smile. It made him happy to know how far they've come since their last duel. Looking over at Kenji with his eyes glowing, Yuko wanted to power up too. His focused his energy and his Mark of Unity became to glow. Things were about to get interesting. "You know, I don't think you've seen what I can achieve now."
Kenji laughed. "I think I have an idea. Go ahead. Show me I'm right."
"You got it!"
Benta scratched his head. "T, what are they talking about?"
"You missed a lot when you were gone, didn't you?" Tammi looked at her brother and friend. She couldn't believe how powerful they were now. "Yuko's about to Hyper Zeo!"
Benta's eyes widened. "What?!? He can do that now?!?" He began to feel a little bad about his sacrifice. Now he was living and Asia was still dead. Benta quickly put that thought aside. "Hey Yuko!! You better not be pulling my leg!"
"I'm not Benta. Just watch." Yuko's mark glowed brighter. "I meld Tora with my Dayrise Paladin and my Nightfall Crusader to Hyper Zeo Summon!!"
Melds Tora(Earth), Nightfall(Dark), and Dayrise(Light) to Hyper Zeo Summon Orionus, Lord of Judgement(Light/Lv.10/3500 atk).
"He can actually do it.....Alright!!!"-Benta
"I was right. This duel has truly become a fine one."-Kenji
"It sure has!{Since I don't have any of my forbidden cards in my grave, I can't use Orionus' effect. So I'll use this to make up for that}-Yuko

"Smart one. Yuko gave up his Zeon Units to use that spell to get stronger than Kenji's dragon. I guess I can't predict Yuko's skills after all."-Benta
"You think?"-Tammi
"Alright Kenji, here's what Orionus and I can do!! Judgement Day!!"-Yuko
Attacks Ancient Tao with Orionus.
"Oh Yuko......"-Kenji
Kenji activates Tao Mirage.
"You may be able to Hyper Zeo Summon, but you still need to follow my number one rule. Never attack me dead on. Tao Mirage negates your attack and inflicts damage to both of our Life Points equal to the difference between our monsters' attack points!!"-Kenji
"Dang it.."-Yuko
(Yuko:3500/100) (Kenji:3700/300)
Yuko and Kenji both stood up after taking their damage. Yuko started laughing. He was enjoying this duel was too much and it made Kenji smile also.
"That. Was. Clever. You must've known that I would be able to Hyper Zeo Summon and that I would want to attack Ancient Tao, so you set that down knowing I would break your rule." Yuko complimented. His childish grin wouldn't leave his face.
"I know you way too well my friend." Kenji closed his eyes and crossed his arms.
"Friend?" Yuko was shocked to hear Kenji say friend. That was a word Kenji didn't say often. "I thought we were rivals." He finished jokingly.
"We can both can't we?" Kenji laughed.
Everyone then noticed that the sun was beginning to rise. The setting seemed perfect for the intense duel. Yuko smirked and so did Kenji. "Let's hurry this up." Kenji said.
"Oh come on Kenji. This duel is far from over."-Yuko
Sets 2 cards.
"No need to rush."-Yuko
"A duel like this can't last forever. It can only go on for so long. We're giving it our all, so we're bound to reach the climax soon."-Kenji
"Yeah I guess so. Let's make this last then!!"-Yuko
(Orionus:8000 atk/3500 atk)
"There's so much passion in their eyes."-Tammi
"And a lot of tension too. I wonder how this duel is going to resolve."-Benta
"It's my turn!!"-Kenji
•Kenji(300): Draws.
"Like I said earlier, you won't be able to stand a chance against my dragon!! I can banish one of its Zeon Units to increase its attack points by 400 for every banished monster!!"-Kenji

"Ancient Tao's attack points become equals to Orionus'!!"-Kenji
(Ancient Tao:3500 atk/9000 atk)
"Now both of their monsters will be destroyed!"-Benta
Orionus raised its arms over its head and summoned a giant ball of golden energy while Ancient Tao Dragon opened its three mouths as they glowed in a golden light.
"Judgement Day!!" Yuko cried. Orionus threw its ord of golden energy.
"Supreme Judgement!!" Kenji ordered as Ancient Tao Dragon fired three blast of golden light.
The attacks collided and explosion shook the field. Once some smoke cleared, both Hyper Zeo Monsters were gone. Both Yuko and Kenji smiled in victory.
{Nice one Kenji, but you're still going down}-Yuko
{Victory is mine Yuko}-Kenji
"Go Trap Card!!!!"-Yuko, Kenji
Yuko and Kenji both activate Final Bout-Zeo Finale.
"The same trap?!?!?"-Tammi, Benta, Mimi, Victoria, Cambell, Geno
"When a Zeo Monster I control is destroyed by battle, Zeo Finale returns a banished Zeo Monster to the field with their attack points doubled!!!! So I'll be bringing back my ace!!!!"-Yuko, Kenji
Yuko Special Summons Tora(Earth/Lv.6/5000 atk) and Kenji Special Summons Meteor Yuan(Water/Lv.8/6000 atk).

[DUEL END]
Everyone watched in total shock as Yuko and Kenji were both blown away by their final attacks.
"No way..." Tammi said.
Benta smirked lightly. "I had a feeling this was going to happen."
Yuko and Kenji both layed on the ground. Their breathing was heavy. "That.....was......amazing."
Kenji stood to his feet and walked over to Yuko. He was satisfied with the duel's result. Ending the duel with a draw didn't bother him at all. "It was." He held out his hand and helped Yuko stand up. "It was better than our last two duels."
The sun was rising faster and everyone gathered around Yuko and Kenji. "You guys were awesome." Mimi cheered.
"Two soldiers that are equally strong. I'm not suprised that the duel ended the way it did." Cambell added.
"You two are the fiercest duelist I've ever seen!" Geno complimented.
"I'm impressed. Nice duel guys." Victoria said lightly.
Yuko and Kenji fist pumped. "Next time, rematch." Yuko said.
Kenji was about to reply, but was interupted by the sound of a car. Everyone turned to see a limo parked by Cental Park. Kenji sighed. "That's my ride." His crystal blue eyes fixed theirselves on Yuko. "We'll settle this another time." He began to walk to the car.
Tammi hugged him. "I'm going to miss you Kenji!!" She was a bit worried that she wasn't going to be able to see her brother as often. She wiped some incoming tears and let go. "Visit whenever you can."
"Will do."
Benta walked up to Kenji. "When you get back," He quickly glanced over to Yuko and back to Kenji. "I'm going to be DHA's top student and you have to promise to duel. Okay?"
Kenji laughed. "Okay Benta."
Yuko stepped up. "Well this is goodbye." He held out his gloved hand. "Until next time."
Kenji shook his rival's hand. "Until then." He turned away and approached the car. He waved goodbye and closed the car door behind him. Kenji was gone.
Yuko looked over to Benta and grinned. "So you want to be DHA's top student?"
Benta smirked exuburantly. "Is this a challenge?"
Yuko activated his duel gear. "Maybe."
Benta did the same. "Oh you're on!"
Tammi and the others all laughed. "Here we go again." Mimi said.
Victoria crossed her arms. "This should be good."
Cambell laughed. "I can't wait to see this."
Geno grinned. "My money's on Yuko."
Tammi looked in the eyes of Yuko and Benta and couldn't stop smiling. "Okay guys give your all!!"
Yuko and Benta drew their cards and the adrenaline filled their bodies. This duel was set out to be a good one.
"DUEL!!!!"
A teenage boy watched Yuko and Benta begin their duel from a roof not too far from Central Park. He had his hood on and he was impressed with Yuko and Kenji's duel. He grinned and took off his hood. It was Soran.
"This duel is going to be awesome!! Too bad I have things to take care of." He frowned and opened up a portal. "Now what's first?" He pondered. "Oh I know!! I'll get the band back together!!" He turned to have one more look at Yuko. "Take care my friend. We'll meet again soon." Soran stepped through the portal without another word.
Yuko placed his hand on his deck and smiled. He looked at his friends and couldn't contain his happiness. All of his best friends were alive and safe and Yuko couldn't be more pleased than with that. He silently and quickly mourned over the fallen Legion Members and thought about his grandfather. He avoided his grieving thoughts and focused on the duel.
"I'll start!!" Yuko placed all his previous duel experiences on his deck and remembered what Yugi, Jaden, Yusei, and Yuma taught him. He was ready for anything Benta had in store for him. Nothing was going to ruin this perfect moment. All Yuko wanted to do was to feel the flow, keep his game on, rev it up, and trust in the Heart of the Cards.
"I draw!"
A young man sat in his office while staring out onto New Domino City. The skies were clear and the city seemed lively. The man smiled at the scene.
He had a box sitting on his lap and opened it. Inside was his deck. He pulled three Zeo Monsters cards and stared at them. "We'll get into the scene soon, but business comes first." He put the cards away and stuff the box inside a drawer.
The intercom turned on. "Ichitawa sir? You're next client is coming up to meet you now."
Ichitawa pressed a button. "Thank you Becky."
After a few more seconds the client walked in. He was a tall man in a white suit with silver eyes. The two shake hands. "Hello I'm Dr. Phin Xa and I am very pleased to meet you Mr. Kaiba."
"Nice to meet to you too and please just call me Ichitawa."
"My apologies." The man sat down. "Now I am positive that you know about what happened in Domino Heart City about a month ago."
"Yes I am. That city has been through a lot."
"And it is surrounded in mystery. With recent footage I've aquired from the accident, I can conclude that a duel was taken place."
"May I see?"
The client pulled out a duel gazer and played a video. It showed Yuko as he was about to summon Orionus. "Not unless there's a light to balance it out!! Tora, Crusader, and Paladin, show him what I mean!!" Yuko cried in the video.
Ichitawa's eyes widened as he witnessed a Hyper Zeo Summon. "What is this?"
The man paused the video. "This duel was not like any other duel. This boy named Yuko Sorama has done something that we've never seen before. He called it a 'Hyper Zeo Summon'."
"Hyper Zeo Summon?" Ichitawa leaned back into his seat and thought of his three Zeo Monsters cards. "A technique that can meld Zeos into one. And this Yuko created it?"
"I would assume so."
Ichitawa smirked. "It seems Duel Monsters will be getting quite interesting from this point on. Thank you for bringing this to my attention."
"The pleasure is mine. I just wanted to make sure that you knew of what's going in this card game. You are the president of it after all." Dr. Phin Xa stood and began to leave. "We can discuss another time? I assume you have a very busy day today."
"You'd be suprised." Ichitawa sighed.
"It was nice meeting you Ichitawa Kaiba."
"As to you too Doctor. Have a nice day." Phin Xa left and Ichitawa stared into the city again. He pressed his desk button again. "Becky? Please make a note to the Card Production Team. Tell to make plans for a new project," He thought of the possibilities that could become of his three Zeos. That gave him a strong motivation.
"And name it 'Project Hyper Zeo'. It's time for everyone to be in on the experience too." He finished his order and returned to his city-watching. "You can't hog all of the glory, Yuko Sorama."
