1. Bewear Honey Donut Truck

The Honey Donut Shop has a new mascot today.

With the arrival of a new Faller, who has been taken under control by Bewear herself. Zuzu Boyle was put to work by Team Rocket who has determined that she was not going to be freeloader.

So dressed in the pink and blue of the outfit, she was handing out samples and calling out to people. But no one was giving her a berth. "This is getting is nowhere," said Zuzu worriedly, as the shenanigans of Team Rocket during the League were known, and sales were down.

"I know!" Exclaimed Zuzu as she pulled out her Duel Disk and activated it. "Action Field Activate! Cross Over!"

In an instant, floating platforms formed around the area as Jessie shouted, "hey! We're not here to let you play, brat!"

"Just watch!" exclaimed Zuzu, as people stopped and stared. "Ladies and gentlemen! The Entertainment Duel style of You Show is on the Islands of Alola! Presenting it live from Alola in association with Bewear Honey Donuts! Come and be dazzled!"

In a swift move, she summoned Soprano and used it's effect to special summon Solo to the field. "And now! Let's give it up for our star of the show!"

Across the way, a small Popplio stared in wonderment as Zuzu held up her hand as she exclaimed, "Heavens above, join in our ringing chorus as we Fusion Summon! Soprano activates her effect, and Fuses with Solo to create a brand new melody!"

Light blazed and music showered as Schuberta burst onto the scene as Zuzu took to the skies, leaping up into the sky from platform to platform in a daring leap and dashing off the top of a roof and diving high to be caught by Schuberta to the roar of the crowd. "Thank you! Thank you! Please, refresh yourself with Honey Donuts!"


2. After the Show

After the show, Zuzu smiled as she took her break, and James handed her a cool drink. "You did good," he said with a kind tone. "I thought you were just a freeloader, but I see now why Bewear took you in."

"Thanks James," replied Zuzu.

"For a brat you're pretty skilled."

"Stop calling me that!" Exclaimed Zuzu.

For a moment they stared at one another before they laughed. "Okay, Zuzu." said James before the Popplio ran up and leaped into her arms.

"Oh! Who are you?" asked Zuzu as she held her Popplio as James made a retreat. This would be a good time for anyone to approach Zuzu to talk with her and her new Pokemon.


3. Duel Racing

After seeing a mechanic about her Duel Runner, the Duel Runner was in better shape than before thanks to some handy people. Zuzu didn't want to get on, but traveling back to her residence was a long trip and she wanted to enjoy it. So here she was, on the pink Duel Runner, zooming through the streets of the city, pausing at different places. Popplio rode on her head as she paused at the Jewelry Store, the Mall, the Beach and the School before heading home to the Tree House to take a long soak.

"I'm not worried about learning it. I just wonder if my positively ancient cards would be compatible with that thing. Especially if they're not from the same dimension."

He thumbs through his deck, pulling a few tribute monsters into his hand...and Blue Eyes, of course.

And a Kuriboh. How did that get in there? He snorts and sets that card aside.

[melodiouspun]

"I mean, cards are cards right?" said Zuzu. "Give it a try. It couldn't hurt."

Popplio nudged Seto on the leg. Giving him those big eyes. C'mon, you know you wanna ride your Dragon.

[blue_ice]

"Hm. I suppose you're right."

Kaiba scoffs at the nudge from the clown seal, but...he supposes she's right. And his burning curiosity is at the forefront. He fans out his cards, positions them over the disk, and makes his move.

"I play my hand and sacrifice my monsters! Come forth, Blue Eyes!"

His familiar monsters materialize. He tributes two with a wave of his hand, and lays one dragon on the disk, waiting with held breath. Could this be really happening?

[melodiouspun]

It seems to be the case, as the monsters respond, since Yuzu had set the deck into demonstration mode for this. On cue, the monsters were materializing, real as life crashing down onto the ground, shaking with mass.

"So cool," replied Zuzu, watching them materialize as she held her breath with bated energy as the world crackled about with light.

[blue_ice]

The flash of light is tremendous. He lifts a hand to shield his eyes, and soon enough, she's there, spreading her wings with a mighty roar. He steps forward, clear reverence in his gaze, and looks up at her with pride.

She turns to look down at the humans: one new to her, and one...oh yes. She knows this one. She bends, opens her maw wide, and licks a stripe up Kaiba's cheek.

He shudders. One, that's gross. But two, and more importantly, she's really here. A small smile spreads on his face as he steps forward, hesitantly touching the cool scales. She presses against his hand.

It's beautiful. He settles his hand on his majestic dragon's neck and turns to Zuzu. "This is the Blue Eyes White Dragon, the harbinger of destruction. And this is how she was meant to be seen."

Blue Eyes roars happily.

[melodiouspun]

"She's amazing! I've seen a lot of Dragons before but I've never seen any Dragon so... so... majestic...!" Breathed Zuzu, her heart twinging in delight. "I just... wow...!"

She clasped her hands to her chest as she added, "I thought, the Blue Eyes White Dragon was a legend, a card so rare that no one in the world had it. To think you have it, and it's standing right here, so... so... beautiful!"

Zuzu was so transfixed, and she wasn't the only one. Jessie and James, Meowth and Wobbafett were peeking their heads out from the trick and Popplio was staring in awe.

[blue_ice]

Kaiba was practically beaming (which is still a faint smile, it's just huge by his standards). He stepped closer and leaned against her, feeling the raw power radiating from her. This is all he ever wanted.

"I'm not surprised. I own the only three Blue Eyes in existence in my universe, and there's probably some collector out there holding on in yours. They'd be out of their mind to let it go."

He noticed the truck owners, but paid them little mind. Instead, he's focused on Zuzu.

"She won't hurt you as long as you're showing respect. You can come closer if you want."

The dragon did seem interested, lowering her head to sniff the girl.

[melodiouspun]

Zuzu nodded, came forward and gently raised a hand for Blue Eyes to sniff. She smelled of flowers, music, some unknown power at best. It wasn't malignant, but it was a special power, emanating from her bracelet that Zuzu was unaware of at this point. It was some sort of dimensional-splitting power.

"She's gorgeous," said Zuzu, appreciatively. "I see why you're so taken with her."

[blue_ice]

The dragon certainly appreciated power. She gently headbutted against the bracelet, then gave Zuzu a hearty lick. Well. That's...not what he expected from Blue Eyes.

"You haven't even seen her true power," he says with a small smile. "That's where the beauty lies. But this isn't the time for a lightning storm, as much as I want to spice things up around here. How about we fly instead?"

Yes, that's an invitation. Kaiba gives his dragon a look and she lowers herself expectantly. He climbs aboard with a clearly awed expression, then schools his face into something resembling his normal impassiveness before offering a hand.

[melodiouspun]

"Really? I'd like that."

Accepting Kaiba's invitation, she climbed aboard and settled down, grasping carefully onto her back as she said, "Okay, ready!"

She was excitedly waiting for the trip, waiting for the Blue Eyes to take off into the skies.

[blue_ice]

"Mm. Hang on!"

Kaiba gives his dragon a pat and nods. Even though she can't see him, she can feel his intent. She takes off with a roar, circling just above the trees. She stretches her wings triumphantly and heads further out, swooping just above the ocean's waves.

For his part, Kaiba's satisfied. He looks every which way to take it all in, and he'll deny this til he's blue in the face but he's laughing. Genuinely. Because this feeling and this view are his dream come true.

But he's not alone out here. He tilts his head to check on her. "Zuzu?"

[melodiouspun]

"This is incredible!" Yelled Zuzu excitedly. "Solid Vision only has such a range back home, but here it's like it's unlimited!"

Which was to say, considering the strength of the Blue Eyes, she could stay out for nearly an indefinite amount of time. No doubt, people were taking pictures from the beach, and the Aether Foundation was noticing it from pictures. Some interesting tourists were taking note and down on the beach, Faba was adjusting his glasses in note, making a call to the Foundation as he was on break currently.

"This is incredible, I love this! Oh my gosh, I've never done this before, even back home! It's always on an Action Field!"

[blue_ice]

For his part, Kaiba was uncharacteristically untroubled. He nudged the dragon to glide up, enjoying sweeping views of the islands. For a vacation spot it was nice enough, he supposed. But the gentle breeze in his hair, the thrill of seeing the world from high above...it was everything he'd ever wanted.

"That's the power of my Blue Eyes!"

But he doesn't want to push it too far until he better understands this technology, so after a circle around the island he nudges her to land. He slides down, and when he turns to give Zuzu a hand he looks happy. The smile lingers as he walks up front to give the dragon one last headrub before disengaging the card and sliding it safely into his sleeve.

"This technology...it's amazing. I need to know more. Could I study the disk?"

Please? He's not one to use that word, but he sure looks hopeful, as much as he tries to put on a more neutral expression.

[melodiouspun]

"Of course, I'm not using it right now." said Zuzu. "Just get it back to me in one piece. It's pretty easy to figure out, so go ahead and let me know when you want to return it. Okay?"

She beamed at him, a 100 watt smile. "That was exhilarating, I can't wait to see what you do with the tech."

[blue_ice]

"I will. I know what I'm doing. All I need is the lab space to study it properly."

He gave her a look. "So...if it's that easy, you've done something with the tech as well?"

[melodiouspun]

"Actually, back home we have whole stadiums called ARC Systems. And we use them to make entire arenas for dueling. They create entire Action Fields, which are entire environments full of Action Cards which enhance Dueling."

Zuzu spread her arms. "To Run, Jump and Soar with your Monsters in a thrilling duel! This was the dueling that was pioneered by Yusho Sasaki, and it caught on like wildfire. The thrilling Action Duels of Paradise City spreading like wildfire, where people entertain the world with their Dueling Playstyles!"

She smiled. "Maybe, one of these days, we could build a big Arc System somewhere here. So I could show you it instead of this dinky ARC System we have installed onto my bike or my Duel Disk."
