Yu-Gi-Oh! Fourseasons

While the others went out to collect branches, Youxia sat alone in the temple, quietly organizing her card deck in the dim light of a flashlight.

At the same time, he thought to himself, "I wonder if everyone will be back so soon—it feels so good to have friends... unlike before..."

You Xia recalled the past—

All he has are his memories from when he was twelve to the present; he can't remember anything before he was twelve.

He didn't find anyone he knew, nor did he meet anyone who knew him. The only thing that accompanied him was a backpack that "generated" money every day.

He thus began his aimless journey around the world in an attempt to recover his memories.

By chance, he learned about duels, which made Yu Xia obsessed. He tried many decks, but none of them satisfied him, regardless of their strength.

Until the day before the [Midsummer] deck was released, the backpack that had been with him for years "gave birth" to only two things besides money—a Duel Disk and the unreleased [Midsummer] deck. The [Midsummer] deck was the only deck that satisfied Yuxia. When the [Midsummer] deck was released the next day, Yuxia was shocked by his backpack!

Later, when he was fifteen, he came to the city where You Dong lived. He felt something there was very attractive to him. Finally, he found You Dong and fought him once, confirming that You Dong was related to him. Even if they weren't, then someone around You Dong must be connected to him!

The reason he made that promise with You Dong was because he had a deep feeling that if he and You Dong were to get together with two or three other complete strangers next year, something big would happen! It would be closely related to his past!

And so, it became what it is today.

"Give me back my soul—" A faint voice reached You Xia's ears!

You Xia stuffed the deck into the Duel Disk in one go, stood up, and cautiously looked around.

Despite their seemingly carefree nature, You Xia and You Dong have matured considerably over the years through their travels, far surpassing their peers. That persona is merely a facade they wear to fit in. Therefore, while they hold a sense of awe towards supernatural beings, they are not afraid of them.

"Give me back my soul—" As the voice rang out, a ghostly figure appeared in front of You Xia!

"Give me back my soul!"

The ghost unfolds the Duel Disk!

You Xia smiled: "A duel? I couldn't be happier!"

"Duel!" x2

Ghostly Shadow: "First strike, mine. My turn."

"I activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed] from my hand and draw two cards."

"I usually summon [AngryAngryAngryDwarf - Rumble Gloves] (Defense position)."

"I activate the effect of [Angry Dwarf - Rumble Gloves] to Special Summon [Shrugger Bancho - Ga Ga Ga Coat] from my hand."

"I'll summon my two monsters on the field! I'll build a superimposed network with these two monsters! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! [NO.39 Hope the Emperor Doubles]!"

"I activate the effect of [Double], remove one Xyz Material, and add one [Double Chance] to my hand, making this monster a complete mess!"

"Construct a superimposed network with a single monster! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! [NO.39 Hope the Emperor]!"

"Because of the [Double] effect, [Hope]'s attack power is doubled!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Rank-Up Spell - Limited Barian Power] from my hand to combine [Hope] into one! Construct a stacking network with a monster!"

"Appear! Red Overlord who rules over chaos, unleash the ancient commandments, transform into raging flames, and dispel the darkness! Chaos Xyz Transformation! Rank 5! Descend! [CNO.39 Hope Emperor Hope V]!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Hope's Redemption] from my hand. When there is only one Xyz [Hope King] monster on the field, I draw cards equal to the number of Xyz Materials of that monster. I draw three cards."

"I activate the effect of [Different Heat Servant Armed Sage] in my hand and Special Summon it to the field (Defense Position)."

"I activate the effect of [Starlight Emperor Hope] in my hand and Special Summon it to the field (Defense Position)."

"I will summon [Star Emperor Hope], a Level 4 monster, and [Armed Sage], an Opal! Using two monsters, I will construct a stacking network! Xyz Summon! Level 4! [NO.39 Hope Emperor]!"

"I will integrate [Hope] into one oppa! I will construct a superimposed network with a monster!"

"Appear! Messenger who turns chaos into light! Chaos Xyz Transformation! Rank 4! [CNO.3 Hope Emperor Hope]!"

"I will then integrate [Hopley] into one Oba! I will use a monster to construct a stacked network!"

"A fleeting glimmer of hope! Now transform into lightning and fly towards the center of darkness!! Rank 5 Xyz Transformation! Appear! [SNO.39 Hope Emperor Hope Lightning Emperor]!"

"My turn is over."

2 Ghosts in hand, 2 in front row, 0 in back row, 8000 Life Points, 2 in Graveyard, 0 banished.

You Xia: "My turn, draw a card!"

"When you have [Guitarist Cicada] and [Home Frog] in your hand, you can Special Summon [Drummer Lily] from your Deck."

"I usually summon [guitarist cicada]."

"When there is [Guitarist Cicada] or [Drummer Lotus Leaf] on the field, [Singer Frog] can be Special Summoned from your hand."

"I activate the Spell Card [Leveling Melody] from my hand. When these three monsters are on the field, their Levels can either increase or decrease by two levels. I choose to increase them by two levels."

"I will take down the three monsters on the field, Oppa!"

"At that moment, I activated the effect of [Singer Frog]. When this monster, along with [Guitarist Cicada] and [Drummer Lotus Leaf], are defeated, the levels of these three monsters rise by 2!"

"Build a superimposed network using three monsters!"

"The scorching dragon, carrying the sun's radiance, soars into the sky, scorching the earth! Upgrade to Super Transformation! Rank 8! [Midsummer Dragon]!"

"I will integrate [Summer Dragon] into one! I will use a monster to construct a stacked network!"

"The dragon of the sun is reborn in flames, burn the earth! Xyz Transformation! Rank 8! [Midsummer Phoenix Dragon]!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Rank-Up Spell - Fireball Overload] from my hand to upgrade [Phoenix Dragon] to Rank 2!"

"Integrate the [Phoenix Dragon] into one! Construct a stacked network using a single monster!"

"O dragon born from the scorching flames, flap your burning wings and ignite the flames of evolution for the world! Rank 10! [Midsummer Flame Barrier Dragon]!"

"I activate the effect of [Fire Barrier Dragon], remove one Xyz Material, and change all monsters on your field to Defense Position!"

"Advance to Battle Rank! [Flame Barrier Dragon] attacks [Lightning Emperor]!"

"Eternal Burning!"

"With [Summer Dragon] as an Xyz Material, [Flame Barrier Dragon] can attack a monster twice per turn!"

"[Flame Barrier Dragon] Attacks [Hopley V]!"

"Eternal Burning!"

Ghost: "I activate the effect of [Hope V] to Special Summon [Hope] from my Graveyard to the field."

You Xia: "My turn is over."

Ghostly Shadow: "My turn, draw a card!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Rank-Up Spell - Source Power] from my hand to create [Hope]! Construct a stacking network with a single monster!"

"Shining spirit of hope, encompass all things and become the power to guide the future! Chaos Xyz Transformation! Rank 5! [CNO.39 Hope Emperor Hope Ray Victory]!"

"Because of the effect of [Power of the Source], the effects of cards other than [Sheng Guang] are nullified!"

"Advance to Battle Rank! [Victory Light] Attacks [Flame Barrier Dragon]!"

"I activate the effect of [Victory], remove one Xyz Material, negate the effect of [Flame Barrier Dragon], and increase my attack power to 6800!"

"I cover a card and the turn ends."

2 Ghosts in hand, 1 in front row, 0 in back row, 8000 Life Points, 12 in Graveyard, 0 banished.

You Xia: "My turn, draw a card!"

Upon seeing the card she had drawn, Yu Xia fell silent...

"My turn is over."

Left with no other choice, You Xia ended her turn directly.

Yu Xia has 1 card in hand, 0 in front row, 0 in back row, 5200 life points, 8 in the graveyard, and 0 banished cards.

Ghostly Shadow: "My turn, draw a card!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Material Excavation] from my hand, declare a Monster Card, and turn two [Hope], [Hope Ray], [Lightning King], [Hope Ray V], [Shalala Bancho - Ga Ga Ga Coat], [Rage Rage Rage Glove], and [Double] from my Graveyard into Xyz Material for [Sheng Guang].

"I send [Rank-Up Spell - Valiant Power] from my hand to the Graveyard, and I combine [Radiant Light] into one monster to create a stacking network!"

"Accept the boundless power of hope! Create a new world for a new era! Shining Xyz Transformation! Rank 1! [SNO.0 Hope of the Heat]!"

"Because [Hope's Heat Heart] has nine Xyz Materials, this monster has an ATK and DEF of 9000!"

"Advance to Battle Stage! [Hope of Different Heat, Shared Hearts] Direct Attack!"

Yu Xia opened her face-down card: "I opened my face-down card—Quick-Play Spell Card [Muscle Draw], reducing the damage of this battle to 0, and drawing a card."

Seeing that the attack of [Hope of Different Heat and Unity] was blocked, You Xia secretly rejoiced: "Thank goodness [Muscle Draw] wasn't an invalid attack, otherwise I would have been killed by that [Double Chance] in his hand!"

Ghostly figure: "My turn is over."

Yu Xia has 1 card in hand, 0 in front row, 0 in back row, 5200 life points, 9 in the graveyard, and 0 banished cards.

1 Ghosts in hand, 1 in front row, 0 in back row, 8000 Life Points, 6 in Graveyard, 0 banished.

You Xia: "My turn, draw a card!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Grave Robber] from my hand, send one card from my hand to the Graveyard, and add one card from my opponent's Graveyard to their hand. The card I'm adding is [Rank-Up Spell - Valiant Power]."

"I activate the Spell Card [Shuffle Resurrection] from my hand, and its effect activates to Special Summon [Summer Dragon] from my Graveyard (Defense Position), which is then banished at the end of this turn."

Yu Xia looked at the [Rank-Up Magic - Barian Power] in his hand, his left eye gradually turning silver, and his Extra Deck glowed!

"I activate the Spell Card [Rank-Up Spell - Valiant Power] from my hand to combine [Summer Dragon] into one monster! Construct a stacking network with just one monster!"

"O dragon roaring in the chaos, let your colorful emotions ignite! Chaos Xyz Transformation! Rank 9! [Chaos XYZ Midsummer Chaos Dragon]!"

[Chaos XYZ Midsummer Chaos Dragon], Attribute: Fire, Rank 9, Effect/Xyz Monster, Dragon, Attack 3600, Defense 3500.

"Because of the effect of [Varia's Power], all the Xyz Materials of [Hope's Heat of Unity] are transformed into Xyz Materials of [Midsummer Chaos Dragon], and you are given 4500 damage!"

"In this way, the attack and defense of [Hope of Different Heat] without excess materials become 0!"

"I activate the effect of [Summer Chaos Dragon] again. Once per Duel, if this monster has [Summer Dragon] as an Xyz Material, turn all [Summer] monsters in your Graveyard into Xyz Materials for this card! That is to say, the Xyz Materials for [Summer Chaos Dragon] are increased to fifteen!"

"Advance to Battle Rank! [Midsummer Chaos Dragon] Attack Now!"

Ghost placed its only card in its hand on the Duel Disk:

"Trap Card [Power of Hope]: When you control only one card, you can activate this card from your hand, Tribute 1 [Hope] monster on the field, negate 1 attack, and end the Battle Phase."

Yu Xia interrupted: "I activate the effect of [Midsummer Chaos Dragon] twice per turn, removing three Xyz Materials and negating the effect of one of my opponent's cards!"

"Activate! [Midsummer Chaos Dragon], continue your attack!"

"Dazzling Flame Spiral!"

The [Midsummer Chaos Dragon], enveloped in flames, passed through the [Hopeful Heat of Unity], and through the ghostly shadows!

Within the flames, the ghostly figures essentially disappeared, fading into nothingness.

You Xia pointed to the spot where the ghostly figure had disappeared and muttered to himself, "We won!"
