Chapter 1: Yuzu Missing
It's been one year since the interdimensional war with Academia and the final battle with Zarc ended. Since then things a lot had happened for Yuya and his childhood friend Yuzu. The two have been pursuant of their goals. One of the major things that happened was that Yuya and Yuzu had begun to start a relationship much to everyone's joy and happiness. Yuzu had become a part time dueltainer and a full-time guitarist and singer for a band she and a few of her friends from school started and with thanks to the sprits of her three other counterparts she became a really good singer. As for Yuya, he went on to continue his career as a dueltainer, entertaining and bringing smiles to all Duel Monsters fans young and old. Most of their new friends they made while traveling through the other three dimensions returned to their homes thanks to the dimension corridors that were created after the duel with Zarc but they could always return for a visit since the portals were always opened. At the You Show Duel School, everyone was waiting for Yuya to return home after his latest tournament win as they saw the green and red haired boy walk through the door.
"Yuya!" Yuzu cried out joyously running over to her now boyfriend. "Welcome home, Yuya." The pink haired girl said hugging him.
"Thanks Yuzu." Yuya said as he greeted the rest of his friends and his mother and father.
"Congrats on your third win Yuya." His father Yusho said as Yuya smiled.
"Thank you, dad." Yuya said as he hugged his mother next. He then greeted his former lancers, Gongenzaka or Gong by his nickname, Shun, Sora, Tsukikage, Crow, Jack, Shingo and Dennis. Just then Yuzu's duel disk beeped as Yuzu pulled it out and gasped.
"Oh my gosh, I'm late!" She said as everyone looked for her. "Sorry everyone, but I have to get going to my friends practice area for tomorrows concert. She said as Yuya nodded.
"Go one ahead, I can't wait to hear that beautiful singing voice of yours." He replied making Yuzu's face blush a bright red.
"See ya!" She said as she quickly exited as Yuya laughed.
"So cute." He said as he then heard Yugo snicker.
"'Can't wait to hear your beautiful voice?' That's the most lovey dovey thing I've heard you say to her since you two became a couple." He said as Yuri stepped in.
"It must be from your affections for Rin rubbing off on him Fusion." Yuya's fusion counterpart, Yuri said angering his synchro counterpart.
"Hey what's that supposed to mean?" Yugo asked as he began arguing with Yuri "And its Yugo not Fusion!" The two began to start arguing with each other as Yuto cleared his throat interrupting the two.
"Enough you two, Yuya's already exhausted from his last duel and journey home and you guys are already arguing." With that the two stopped arguing and just turned away from each other. "But by the way Yuya, that was a bit to mushy." He said earning an annoyed look from Yuya as Yuto could only chuckle at his response. "I'm only teasing Yuya, but we're all glad you got together with Yuzu. You certainly had grown a little since last year." He said earning a nod from both Yugo and Yuri.
"Thanks you guys." Yuya said with a smile on his face. Meanwhile Yuzu was on her way to her friends place as she was still a bit embarrassed by Yuya's affections towards him.
"Geeze, why did Yuya had to go and act like that towards me!" She said her face still red as she covered her face with her hands. "And what's worse, he did it in front of everyone!" She said.
"Aw, I think it was quite romantic and cute." Rin's voice said as Yuzu turned and saw her spirit form.
"Besides it can't be helped that Yuya's acting like that now that he's your boyfriend." Serena said. "Your just lucky he hasn't done anything cheesier romantic stuff on you like pickup lines." This remark by Yuzu's fusion counterpart made her face even more red.
"Come on girls, don't be like that to her." Ruri, her Xyz counterpart said. "Besides it not like anyone of you had the same thing happen to you with Yugo and Yuri." She said as Serena just shrugged her shoulders.
"Eh, I didn't really had a romantic relationship with him. More like a bit of a rivalry between us." She said as Rin giggled.
"Well you know what they say, a rivalry between a boy and a girl turns romantic." She said causing Serena to blush and look away.
"Besides Yugo and I always had each other since we were both orphans. But he would always try to impress me with his dueling." The green haired synchro duelist then turned into to Ruri. "What about you and Yuto, Ruri?" She asked causing the Xyz counterpart to blush.
"W-well, I'd admired Yuto very much, even when my brother dueled him. And when we were alone together and Shun appeared, he would always get nervous, it was kind of cute when he blushed." At that moment, Yuzu stopped as her three counterparts looked at her as she had a sad look on her face.
"Do you guys ever miss it?" She asked. "I mean, do you ever miss having your own bodies and interacting with the people you know?" The three girls remained silent as they looked at one another.
"Well as much as I liked having my spirit alive, I do miss being with my brother." Ruri answered sharing the same expression.
"The same goes for me," Rin responded. "As much as I'm grateful that I'm still here, I wish I could have my own body back so I can race around the track and duel again."
"To me, it feels like I'm all locked up again, something that I've always known back on Academia Island." Serena added as Yuzu began to feel a bit uncomfortable by her fusion counterpart's response.
"But hey look on the bright side, at least Leo Akaba said that he would try to find a way to split us so we can regain our own bodies right?" Ruri said as the pink haired girl looked at her. "So keep your chin up and don't try to look so sad, I'm sure Yuya would hate to see you look like that." Yuzu giggled as she nodded.
"Thanks Ruri, thank you all." She responded as her three counterparts smiled and nodded at her.
"Speaking of Leo Akaba, it's a good thing he disbanded the Academia army." Rin said as the others nodded.
"That's for sure, just glad we don't have to worry about any more Obelisk Force students coming after us or Yuri for that matter." Yuzu said as the spirits of her counterparts nodded.
"Oh, I'm not so sure about that." A sadistic voice said as Yuzu froze in fear as well as her counterparts.
"That voice…." Yuzu said.
"….it can't be." Her counterparts finished as Yuzu turned around to see a purple cloaked figure looming over them as he tossed something towards the pink haired girl as she then fell to the ground.
"Excellent." The purple cloaked person said with a wicked smile on his face. "Now I can finish, what you started Professor."
