🎭 Scene: Park Showdown – Yuya vs. Sylvio

Location: Park near a bridge

Time: Late Afternoon

Andrew walked through the park, taking in his surroundings, trying to get his bearings.

Andrew (thinking):

"Wait a second… is that Yuya dueling Sylvio Swatari?"

He narrowed his eyes as he spotted the duel taking place on the bridge. Sylvio was clearly holding hostages, and Yuya looked tense.

Andrew (frowning):

"This must be that episode… the one where Sylvio steals Yuya's Pendulum cards. And it looks like he took people hostage too."

A shimmer of light appeared beside him as Dark Magician Girl materialized.

DMG (serious):

"You should interfere. He needs help."

Andrew nodded and sprinted forward. He pulled a card from his deck and slapped it onto his Duel Disk.

Andrew:

"Let's go! I summon Big Shield Gardna!"

A massive warrior with a towering shield emerged. Andrew used Gardna's size to leap onto the bridge's ledge, pulling himself up.

🛡️ Confrontation on the Bridge

Yuzu (alert, holding a paper fan):

"Who are you?! One of Sylvio's goons?!"

Andrew (hands raised):

"Nope! Just some guy who saw this whole kidnapping fiasco and figured I should step in so Tomato-Head over there can duel without worrying about his friends."

Yuzu (still wary):

"…Okay. I'll trust you—for now."

Andrew (nodding):

"Thanks. Now—Big Shield Gardna, thank you. I'll sacrifice you to summon…"

He holds up a glowing card.

Andrew:

"The magician whose eyes shine with the knowledge of magic—Dark Magician Girl!"

DMG appears in a flourish, twirling her wand with a smile.

Andrew:

"Dark Magician Girl, use your magic to create a safe path for Yuya's friends to get down!"

She waves her wand, forming a glowing magical bridge. Andrew gestures to Yuzu and the others to cross safely. Once they're down—

Andrew (shouting):

"Hey! Tomato-Head!"

Yuya (startled, looking up):

"Huh?! Where are my friends?!"

Sylvio (angrily):

"Who the hell are you?!"

Andrew (smirking):

"Your hostages are safe now, thanks to me. So, Yuya—go on and thrash that guy!"

DMG floats beside Andrew, taking his hand and gently guiding him down to the ground.

Andrew (softly):

"Thanks for the ride."

DMG smiles before fading into sparkles. Andrew's Duel Disk powers down and enters standby mode.

⏳ Time Skip – Post-Duel

Yuya rushed over to check on his friends.

Yuya (relieved):

"I'm so glad you're okay…"

Then he turned to Andrew and extended a hand.

Yuya:

"I'm Yuya Sakaki. Thanks for helping my friends. What's your name?"

Andrew shook his hand firmly.

Andrew:

"Name's Andrew… Andrew Muto. Pleasure to meet you."

Andrew (thinking):

Muto… I hope I'm worthy of carrying that name someday.

Andrew (aloud):

"I just happened to be passing by when I saw what was going on. I couldn't stand by and do nothing."

He glanced up at the sky, the sun beginning to set.

Andrew:

"Well, I should probably go find a place to stay for the night…"

As he turned to leave, Yuya called out:

Yuya:

"Wait!"

Andrew paused and looked back.

Yuya (smiling):

"How about you stay at my place tonight? It's the least I can do. I'm sure my mom won't mind."

Andrew blinked in surprise, then smiled.

Andrew:

"Alright. Thanks—I appreciate it."

🏠 Time Skip – Sakaki Residence

After Yuya explained everything, his mom agreed to let Andrew stay the night.

Now, in the guest bedroom, Andrew sat on the edge of the bed.

Andrew (exhaling):

"What a day…"

Dark Magician Girl appeared, floating cross-legged in midair.

DMG (smiling):

"Well, at least you have a place to stay for now."

Dark Magician followed shortly after.

Dark Magician (calmly):

"Well done, Andrew. You handled the situation perfectly."

Andrew (grinning):

"Thanks. Time to get some rest. Tomorrow, they're taking me to enroll in the You Show College."

📍 Scene Shift – LDS College

Elsewhere, within the sleek towers of LDS College…

Reiji Akaba (watching from a screen):

"Hm… Someone new has arrived."

His eyes narrowed.

Reiji:

"We shall see whether he proves to be a friend… or a threat."
