76Announcement
Hello, readers of Academy of Chaos. I have a very important announcement to make. It is with great regret that I must reveal that I will not be updating Academy of Chaos after this.
Before you get upset, there is something else I want to say: I will continue the story by making a new fanfiction titled Academy of Chaos Redux. The first 26 chapters of it will follow the same basic storyline as the original, with some changes made to both the duels and the storyline, but not major changes. I still intend to follow the Number Tournament to its end.
The reason I am doing this is because I have been meaning to go back to the first chapters of Academy of Chaos and fix mistakes, update them, or make changes to line up with future chapters. However, I honestly feel that there are too many changes to make, so I am starting over.
Now, there are a few points I wish to make: the main characters will still be Yuya Sakaki and Yuzuki Fujita and they will be 15 years old. However, Yuzuki's appearance will be the same as Yuzu Hiragi's this time, and her personality will fall closer to Yuzu's. The reason I have renamed her is because Yuzuki uses an Odd-Eyes/Performapal Deck instead of a Melodious one, so I want to establish them as separate characters. The story will also take place in the same setting as the original, with no changes to that made. Aside from Chapter 1, the first 26 chapters will have the same names as they do in the original Academy of Chaos and the later chapters, starting around 17 or so, will have far fewer changes made to them. As I said above, the Number Tournament will still occur, so the Numbers that have been created – Numbers 26, 27, 60, 76, and 97 – will still appear.
This redo will also follow the same format as Hidden Memories, meaning a summary of the duels will appear at the end of the chapter, as will responses to reviews and announcements. The characters themselves will also all have their names in the Western order, and any characters from the original series, GX, 5D's, or ZEXAL will have their names from the dub. This includes legacy characters from ARC-V like Kite and Alexis.
To anyone who still wishes to read Academy of Chaos, I will not delete the original until I have caught up with the Redux version, meaning until the new one hits 26 chapters.
To any of you who feel upset about this, I am sorry, but I feel this is necessary to create the best story that I can. And if this does not placate you, I will reveal one thing about Chapter 27: it features a Tag Duel between Quattro and Trey, and Mizar and Yuzuki. I already have the first part of it down, and I don't intend to change it, so I feel no shame in revealing it.
Quattro and Trey vs. Mizar and Fujita Yuzuki
Turn 1: Quattro
Quattro Normal Summons Gimmick Puppet Egg Head (1600/1200/4). He activates its effect, sending the Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll in his hand to the GY to inflict 800 damage to Mizar (Mizar: 4000→3200 LP). Quattro Sets 1 card. He ends his turn.
Turn 2: Mizar
Mizar draws. He activates the Field Spell Cosmic Frontier. Now when a player Xyz Summons, that player draws 1 card. He Normal Summons Radius, the Half-Moon Dragon (1400/1200/4). He then activates the Spell Card Galaxy Wrath, letting him Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Dragon monster from his hand at the cost of skipping his Battle Phase. He Special Summons a second Radius, the Half-Moon Dragon (1400/1200/4) in Attack Position. Mizar overlays his two Level 4 Dragon monsters to Xyz Summon Galaxy Stealth Dragon (2000/1600/4) in Attack Position. Since he Xyz Summoned, he draws 1 card. Mizar activates the effect of Stealth Dragon, detaching 1 Xyz Material to Special Summon a Dragon monster from his hand. He Special Summons Heliosphere Dragon (0/1900/4) in Defense Position. Mizar Sets 1 card. He ends his turn.
Turn 3: Trey
Trey draws. Since Mizar controls a monster and he doesn't, he Special Summons Chronomaly Moai Carrier (900/1800/5). He Normal Summons Chronomaly Golden Jet (1300/1400/4). He activates the effect of Golden Jet, increasing its Level by 1 until the End Phase (Golden Jet: 4→5). Trey overlays his two Level 5 monsters to Xyz Summon Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech (2400/1500/5). Since he Xyz Summoned, he draws 1 card. Trey Sets 3 cards. He ends his turn.
Turn 4: Yuzuki
Yuzuki draws. She activates the Scale 5 Wisdom-Eye Magician and the Scale 6 Performapal Guitartle. Since Yuzuki has a card in her other Pendulum Zone, she activates the Pendulum Effect of Guitartle, which allows her to draw a card. Since she has a "Magician" or "Performapal" monster in her other Pendulum Zone, Yuzuki activates the effect of Wisdom-Eye Magician, destroying it and placing 1 "Magician" Pendulum Monster from her Deck in her Pendulum Zone. She places the Scale 2 Dharma-Eye Magician in the Pendulum Zone. Since she placed a card in her other Pendulum Zone, she activates the Pendulum Effect of Guitartle, drawing a card. Yuzuki Pendulum Summons Wisdom-Eye Magician (1500/1500/4/5) from her Extra Deck in Defense Position and Performapal Silver Fang (1800/700/4/5) from her hand in Defense Position. She Sets 2 cards. She ends her turn.
Turn 5: Quattro
Quattro draws. He activates Level Doubler, sending the Dreary Doll in his hand to the GY to double the Level of Egg Head (Egg Head: 4→8). He banishes one Dreary Doll in his GY to activate the effect of the other, Special Summoning it (0/0/8) in Attack Position. He overlays his two Level 8 monsters to Xyz Summon Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder (1500/2500/8). Sine he Xyz Summoned, he draws 1 card. Trey activates his face-down Continuous Trap Card Number Wall, which will prevent "Number" monsters he controls from being destroyed by card effects. Quattro activates the Equip Spell Gimmick Shield, equipping it to Giant Grinder. Its ATK/DEF are switched (Giant Grinder: 1500→2500/2500→1500). Quattro activates the effect of Gimmick Shield, inflicting damage to Mizar equal to Giant Grinder's Xyz Materials x 300 (Mizar: 3200→2600 LP). Quattro activates the effect of Giant Grinder, detaching 1 Xyz Material to destroy all other Xyz Monsters on the field and inflict damage to their controllers equal to their respective ATK. Galaxy Stealth Dragon is destroyed, but Machu Mech is protected by Number Wall. Mizar activates his face-down Counter Trap Damage Rebound. Since he would take effect damage, that damage becomes 0, and then Quattro must shuffle 1 face-up card he controls into the Deck, and if the card is a monster, then he takes damage equal to that monster's ATK. Quattro shuffles Gimmick Shield back into his Deck (Giant Grinder: 2500→1500/1500→2500). Quattro attempts to attack Silver Fang, but since Quattro has less than 4 cards in his hand and Heliosphere Dragon is the only monster Mizar controls, he cannot declare an attack. Quattro Sets 1 card. He ends his turn.
Turn 6: Mizar
Mizar draws. Since Trey controls a monster with 2000 or more ATK, he can Special Summon Schwarzschild Limit Dragon (2000/0/8) from his hand. Since he controls a Level 8 Dragon monster, he activates the effect of Heliosphere Dragon, making it Level 8 until the end of the turn (Heliosphere Dragon: 4→8). Mizar overlays his two Level 8 monsters to Xyz Summon Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon (3000/2500/8). Since he Xyz Summoned, he draws 1 card. He activates the Spell Card Xyz Treasure, drawing 1 card for every Xyz Monster on the field. He draws 3 cards. Tachyon Dragon attacks Giant Grinder, but Trey activates his face-down Trap Card Stonehenge Shield as a monster with 3000 or more ATK is attacking. The attack is negated, the ATK of the attacking monster becomes 0 (Tachyon Dragon: 3000→0) and its effects are negated. As a monster's ATK was changed, Trey activates the effect of Machu Mech, detaching 1 Xyz Material to inflict damage equal to the different between the former and current ATKs. Yuzuki activates her face-down Trap Card Courageous Heart, halving her LP (Yuzuki: 4000→2000 LP) to negate the activation and effect until the end of this turn.
Mizar activates the Quick-Play Spell Card Tachyon Refresh, targeting his Tachyon Dragon and banishing it. Since its target left the field, Stonehenge Shield destroys itself. Tachyon Refresh's second effect activates, and Tachyon Dragon returns to the field (3000/2500/8). Mizar activates the Quick-Play Spell Card Instant Overlay, which attaches itself to an Xyz Monster with no Xyz Materials. He attaches it to Tachyon Dragon. Tachyon Dragon attacks and destroys Giant Grinder (Quattro: 4000→2500 LP). Mizar activates the effect of Tachyon Dragon, detaching 1 Xyz Material to negate the effects of all other monsters on the field. For each card effect that resolved during the Battle Phase, Tachyon Dragon will gain 1000 ATK until the End Phase. It may also attack again (Tachyon Dragon: 3000→7000). Tachyon Dragon attacks Machu Mech, but Trey activates his face-down Trap Card Thunder Pot, negating an attack against a "Chronomaly" monster and ending the Battle Phase. Mizar Sets 2 cards. He ends his turn, and the ATK of Tachyon Dragon return to normal (Tachyon Dragon: 7000→3000).
Turn 7: Trey
Trey draws. He activates the Continuous Spell Card Chronomaly Pyramid Eye Tablet, increasing the ATK of all "Chronomaly" monsters he controls by 800 (Machu Mech: 2400→3200). He activates the Spell Card Palenque Sarcophagus, drawing 2 cards since he controls a "Chronomaly" monster. Machu Mech attacks and destroys Tachyon Dragon (Mizar: 2600→2400 LP). Mizar activates his face-down Trap Card Tachyon Chaos Hole. Since a "Tachyon" monster he controlled was destroyed by battle, all cards Trey controls are banished. Trey Normal Summons Chronomaly Gordian Knot (300/900/3). Since Gordian Knot was Normal Summoned, Trey can Special Summon 1 "Chronomaly" monster with 1000 or less ATK from his hand and make Gordian Knot's Level equal to the Summoned monster's Level. Trey Special Summons Chornomaly Sol Monolith (600/600/6) (Gordian Knot: 3→6). Trey activates Burial from a Different Dimension, returning the banished Machu Mech to his GY. Trey overlays his two Level 6 monsters to Xyz Summon Number 6: Chronomaly Atlandis (2600/3000/6). Since he Xyz Summoned, he draws 1 card. Trey activates the effect of Atlandis. Since it was Xyz Summoned, Trey can equip 1 "Number" monster in his GY to Atlandis, which gains ATK equal to the ATK of the equipped monster. He equips Machu Mech to Atlandis (Atlandis: 2600→5000). Trey activates the effect of Atlandis, detaching 1 Xyz Material to halve Yuzuki's LP (Yuzuki: 2000→1000 LP). Trey Sets 1 card. He ends his turn.
Turn 8: Yuzuki
Yuzuki draws. She activates her face-down Continuous Trap Card Pendulum Switch. She uses its effect to Special Summon the Dharma-Eye Magician in her Pendulum Zone to her field (2000/2500/7/2) in Attack Position. She activates the Scale 8 Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon in her Pendulum Zone. Since she placed a card in her Pendulum Zone, the Pendulum Effect of Guitartle activates and she draws 1 card. Yuzuki activates the Spell Card Pendulum Fusion, using the 2 cards in her Pendulum Zones to perform a Fusion Summon. She fuses Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon with Performapal Guitartle to Fusion Summon Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon (2500/3000/7). Since Vortex Dragon was Special Summoned, she activates its effect to return 1 face-up Attack Position monster her opponent controls to their hand. She targets Chronomaly Atlandis. Trey activates his face-down Counter Trap Card Chronomaly Guard. Since a "Chronomaly" monster was targeted by the effect of a monster card, that effect is negated, and Trey draws 1 card. Furthermore, Vortex Dragon cannot activate its effects while it is face-up on the field.
Yuzuki Normal Summons Dragonpulse Magician (1800/900/4/1). Yuzuki overlays the Level 4 Dragonpulse Magician, Performapal Silver Claw, and Wisdom-Eye Magician to Xyz Summon Number 26: Odd-Eyes Performance Paladin (2400/2000/4). Since she Xyz Summoned, she draws 1 card. Yuzuki activates the Scale 8 Dragonpit Magician in her Pendulum Zone. Since she controls a "Magician" in her Pendulum Zone, Performance Paladin gains 400 ATK while it has Xyz Material (Performance Paladin: 2400→2800). Yuzuki activates the effect of Performance Paladin, detaching 1 Xyz Material and declaring Monster Cards. Now, the effects of all face-up cards of the declared type on Trey's field are negated until the end of the turn. The effect of Atlandis is negated (Atlandis: 5000→2600). Yuzuki activates the Spell Card Pendulum Rising, sending Dharma-Eye Magician to the GY to Special Summon Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon from the Deck (2500/2000/7/4), but it will be destroyed during the End Phase. Performance Paladin attacks and destroys Atlandis (Trey: 4000→3800 LP). Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon attacks Trey directly (Trey: 3800→1300 LP). Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon attacks Trey directly, but Quattro activates his face-down Trap Card Gimmick Box, reducing the damage to 0 and Special Summoning Gimmick Box as a Monster Card with ATK equal to the damage reduced to 0 (?→2500/0/8). Yuzuki Sets 1 card. She ends her turn, and since it was summoned by the effect of Pendulum Rising, Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon is destroyed.
This duel will continue…
Chronomaly Guard Counter Trap Card
If a "Chronomaly" monster you control is targeted by the effect of an opponent's monster: negate the activation of that effect, then draw 1 card. The monster whose effect was negated cannot activate its effects while it is face-up on the field.
Sadly, until I reach this point in the story again, this is as much I am willing to show. As I said above, I will not delete this fanfic until the Redux has caught up to it, so if anyone still wants to read this fanfic, they can. If any of you have questions, feel free to either post them in a review or PM me. I will do my best to answer them, but I will not give away major spoilers.
Thank you for reading, reviewing, favoriting, and following Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: Academy of Chaos. I hope to see all of you again in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: Academy of Chaos Redux.
