A/N: If this chapter seemed rushed to you, I apologize for that. Especially to the duel.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh of any kind. The only OC I own is Fuki.


Until we reach for that big sky (Camera looks up to the night sky as the sun rises)
I believe in tomorrow if we try, hey (Camera lowers itself and reveals Fuki looking at the sunrise. Sun's light got bright and engulfed the screen)

Come on let's go everybody oh we share the music
Come on let's go baby baby oh we share the one dream (The title appears, made of jems. The title then got bright and scene changed)
Come on let's go everybody oh we share the good times (The scene went from a scarfless Jacko, back facing the camera as the wind blows, revealing his Garnet gemstone on his neck. Camera shifts to Seth without his headband, revealing a Sapphire gemstone on his forehead)
Come on let's go baby baby oh we share the one world (Camera shifts to Bella flipping her hair with her gloveless left hand, a Topaz gemstone on the back of it. Then it shifts to Fuki holding a card between her fingers in her gloveless right hand, a Ruby gemstone on the back of it. She then flicks the card to the camera.)

The confusing puzzles contained in the darkness (Fuki was fixing up her deck)
It halts our view to our one destination (Bella was doing some calculations)
(Umm) you and me (yes) we feel the excitement this world brings (Seth was seen playing with the kids at their orphanage)
The way that I feel the beat guides me to walk on, oh yeah (Jacko was in the kitchen cooking)

Share the music, anytime (Seth was putting on his helmet)
Share the one dream, that you believe (Bella was putting her deck in her gauntlet as it automatically shuffles it)
Share the good times, hand in hand (Fuki activated the Duel Mode on her D-Wheel)
Share the one world now! (The three of them took off on their motorcycles)

Until we reach for that big sky (Seth summoned Darkus Hydranoid and Darkus Centipoid then used them to Synchro Summon Sapphire-Claws Gemstone Dragon)
No matter what, I'll keep on rising (Bella summoned Substitute Shinigami, Ichigo and Squad 13 Shinigami, Rukia then used them to Synchro Summon Topaz-Fangs Gemstone Dragon)

Right now, let's reach for beyond (Fuki drove off a building and summoned Freedom Dog, Bat and Fox)
I believe in tomorrow if we try. Yeah yeah... (She turned them to Synchro Summon Ruby-Eyes Gemstone Dragon, whom saved her from her fall)

On the other side, of the invisible wall
You're there waiting for me
(The scene changed to the three of them dueling against many opponents and being pushed to their limit)

I will soon be there by your side (Their gemstones reacted by glowing brightly and three more duelists plus Jacko joins them with their own dragons)
I believe in tomorrow if we try. Yeah yeah... (Past the skies above them, a huge dragon whose body is solely made of jems, including its eyes, fangs and claws appeared and let out a roar. Screen got bright and scene changed)

Come on let's go everybody oh we share the music
Come on let's go baby baby oh we share the one world (Song slowly ends with Seth, Bella and Fuki at the duel stadium)


A couple days had passed and the day for Fuki, Bella and Seth to leave came at last. It was night time and the three were in the abandon subway, saying their good-byes to Jacko and the orphans.

"Do you really have to go?" one of the kids asked.

"We're doing this for everyone's freedom," Fuki answered. "We can't just stay on this island. There's a big world out there and we have the right to see that world. You kids have the right to see that world."

"She's right. It'll be tough with just the three of us, but we'll figure something out," Seth said.

"In the meantime, Jacko will be here taking care of you guys," Bella told them. She turned to her boyfriend. "Take good care of them. And yourself."

"Of course," he assured. The four teenagers shared a group hug. "Now you three go out there and give us the one thing that was taken from us." They got out of the hug and placed one hand on top of each other in the middle of their circle. "Our freedom."

"Our freedom," they repeated.

The kids joined in and placed their hands on top of the teens'. "Our freedom!"

They all pulled their hands back and fist bumped each other in the middle.

"Wish us luck," Fuki said. She, Bella and Seth got on their D-Wheels. They sped off and out of the subway.

"Good luck!" the kids shouted, waving good-bye to them.

Jacko watched as they drove off. He took out a card from his pocket and looked at it. "Be safe, you three. And good luck."


With Fuki, Bella and Seth, they continued on to where the pipeline and their ticket off the island would be.

"At the rate we're going, we'll be at the pipeline in no time," Bella calculated.

"And our first step to our future," Seth added.

"As if there's a future for you, Satellite!" came a voice. The three of them looked back and saw three Securities on their tail.

"Securities already?!" Fuki gasped in shock.

"Damn it! I forgot about the patrols!" the Reaper Goddess cursed.

"Stop your D-Wheels and maybe you'll be let off with a light punishment!" the first officer warned. The officer was female, had short black hair and wore a female officer uniform.

"How about... See ya!" The three Satellites increased their speed and drove way ahead of their pursuers.

"Now you're just asking for it. Mozu, Kezu! Activate the Duel Mode!" the female Security said.

"Yes, Officer Mira!" the other two Securities replied. One of the two was slightly chubby and the other was slender with a beak-like nose. They pressed a button on their D-Wheel.

"Duel Mode on. Auto Pilot, Standby." Their D-Wheels released a pulse that affected Fuki and the other's D-Wheels.

"Duel Mode on. Auto Pilot, Standby," came their D-Wheel's voice.

"Great. They forced us in a Battle Royale," Seth said.

"That's right. And you're not getting away that easily!" the chubby security, Mozu, said. "Now, enough talk and let's-"

"Duel!" the six of them said.

Mira: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Mozu: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Kezu: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Fuki: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Bella: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Seth: 4000 LP/ 0 SC

"Justice serves first. Draw!" Mira drew her sixth card. "I summon Gate Blocker in Defense Mode!" A wall appeared in Fuki, Bella and Seth's way. The three of them quickly slowed down at the sudden appearance of the Defense Positioned monster.

Gate Blocker: Level 4/EARTH/Rock/100 ATK/2000 DEF

"Don't forget that in Battle Royale, no one can attack until all players take their first turn. I end my turn with one card face down."

"Then it's my turn! Draw!" Fuki drew her next card.

Mira: 4000 LP/ 1 SC
Mozu: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Kezu: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Fuki: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Bella: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Seth: 4000 LP/ 0 SC

She and her friends saw that their Speed Counters didn't increase.

"While Gate Blocker is on the field, my opponents cannot gain Speed Counters by Speed World," Mira said.

"But wait, your allies can't gain Speed Counters either!" Seth pointed out.

"That's what you think," Kezu smirked.

Deciding not to worry about it, Fuki continued her turn. "While I control no monsters, I Special Summon Freedom Dog!" Her husky appeared on her field.

Freedom Dog: Level 4/EARTH/Beast/2000 ATK/1000 DEF

"'Freedom'?" Mira repeated softly, wondering where she heard that archetype.

"Next, I summon Freedom Butterfly in Defense Mode!" Next on the field was her butterfly.

Freedom Butterfly: Level 1/WIND/Insect/400 ATK/300 DEF

"I end my turn!"

"Then it's my turn! Draw!" Mozu drew his next card.

Mira: 4000 LP/ 2 SC
Mozu: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Kezu: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Fuki: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Bella: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Seth: 4000 LP/ 0 SC

"I summon the Tuner Monster Autobot, Bumblebee!" A yellow and black chevrolet camaro appeared. It suddenly split and transformed into a robot.

Autobot, Bumblebee: Level 4/EARTH/Machine/1500 ATK/400 DEF

(Autobot, Bumblebee: Effect Tuner: This card cannot be destroyed by battle except by another Machine-type Monster.)

"And since I have an 'Autobot' monster on my field, I can Special Summon Autobot, Arcee from my hand in Attack Mode!" A pink motorbike appeared next to the yellow robot. Like the car, the motorbike transformed into a robot.

Autobot, Arcee: Level 4/EARTH/Machine/2100 ATK/400 DEF

(Autobot, Arcee: Effect Monster: If you control a face-up 'Autobot' monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. This card cannot attack the turn it was summoned this way.)

"And now I tune my Level 4 Arcee with my Level 4 Bumblebee! SYNCHRO SUMMON! Leader of the Autobot, Optimus Prime!" A blue and red truck appeared and then changed into a robot.

Leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime: Level 8/EARTH/Machine/3000 ATK/3000 DEF

(Leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime: Synchro Monster: 1 "Autobot" Tuner + 1 or more non-tuner Machine-type monster: Once per turn, during the Battle Phase, target one other 'Autobot' monster you control; this card gains half that monster's ATK until the end of the Battle Phase. During the End Phase, you may Special Summon one 'Autobot' monster from your Graveyard.)

"I set one card face down and end my turn! At this time, Optimus's effect activates! Allowing me to Special Summon an 'Autobot' monster from my Graveyard! Come, Bumblebee!" The yellow and black robot returned to the field.

"My turn! Draw!" Bella drew her next card.

"Continuous Trap, Slip Stride! With this card, during the Standby Phase I can gain a Speed Counter!" Mozu interrupted.

"What?!" the female Satellites gasped.

Seth looked down and saw what he said was true.

Mira: 4000 LP/ 3 SC
Mozu: 4000 LP/ 1 SC
Kezu: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Fuki: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Bella: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Seth: 4000 LP/ 0 SC

(Slip Stride: Continuous Trap: Activate only if a 'Speed World' Field Spell is activate. During your Standby Phase, gain one Speed Counter.)

"Great. At this rate, we'll be the only ones without Speed Counters!" Seth said, referring to Team Satellite.

"That's right. Now do your turn!" Mozu said.

Bella gritted her teeth. "I... Summon the Tuner Monster, Squad 11 Shinigami, Yachiru!" The little girl appeared on the field.

Squad 11 Shinigami, Yachiru: Level 3/LIGHT/Warrior/1000 ATK/1000 DEF

'I've never heard of the 'Shinigami' cards. Just what is going on?' Mira mentally questioned.

"And since I control a 'Shinigami' Monster, I can Special Summon Squad 5 Shinigami, Momo!" A girl with black hair in a bun appeared on the field.

Squad 5 Shinigami, Momo: Level 3/FIRE/Warrior/1400 ATK/800 DEF

(Squad 5 Shinigami, Momo: Effect Monster: If you control a 'Shinigami' Monster, you may Special Summon this card from your hand.)

"Momo! Hi!" Yachiru greeted.

"Likewise, Lieutenant," Momo greeted back.

"What's the point in summoning them in Attack Mode?" Kezu questioned, practically mocking Bella.

"You must be an idiot for not knowing the next step," she insulted back. "I tune my Level 3 Momo with my Level 3 Yachiru!" Hearing those words shocked Team Security. "Young genius warrior! Arise to your full potential! SYNCHRO SUMMON! Appear now, Shinigami Captain, Toshiro!" A young boy with white hair and a white jacket with the kanji for 'ten' on the back appeared.

Shinigami Captain, Toshiro: Level 6/WATER/Warrior/2400 ATK/1200 DEF

(Shinigami Captain, Toshiro: Synchro Monster: 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-tuner monster: Once per turn, you may discard one card to destroy one monster on the field.)

"She Synchro Summoned?!" Mozu gasped.

"And now, Toshiro's monster effect activates!" Bella continued. "Once per turn, by discarding one card from my hand to the Graveyard, I can destroy one monster my opponent controls! See you later, Gate Blocker! Ice Destroyer!"

"Sit Upon the Frosted Heavens, Hyorinmaru!" the boy shouted, as his sword summoned a dragon made of ice and went to destroy Gate Blocker.

"From my hand, I activate Protective Milo's effect! If a monster I control is to be destroyed, I can discard this card from my hand and negate its destruction!" Mira countered. A young girl in miko clothes appeared and formed a shield to protect Gate Blocker.

(Protective Miko: Effect Monster: If a monster you control is to be destroyed, you may discard this card from your hand to the Graveyard to negate that monster's destruction. If a monster you control is to be destroyed while this card is in your Graveyard, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard, you may banish this card to negate that monster's destruction.)

"Nice try. But I have plenty more tricks up my sleeve," the female Security boasted.

Bella gritted her teeth. "I end my turn with one card face down."

"My turn! Draw!" Kezu drew his next card.

Mira: 4000 LP/ 4 SC
Mozu: 4000 LP/ 2 SC
Kezu: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Fuki: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Bella: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Seth: 4000 LP/ 0 SC

"I summon the Tuner Monster, Police Bird, Rookie Cadet!" A bird in a police uniform appeared on the field.

Police Bird, Rookie Cadet: Level 3/WIND/Winged Beast/1300 ATK/1300 DEF

(Police Bird, Rookie Cadet: Effect Tuner: You can Synchro Summon using one 'Police Bird' non-tuner monster from your hand. If this card was sent to the Graveyard this way to Synchro Summon a 'Police' Synchro Monster, you may Special Summon one 'Police Bird' monster from your deck.)

"And now I tune my Level 4 Police Bird, Red Trooper from my hand with my Level 3 Police Bird, Rookie Cadet from my field!"

"Hang on! You can't do that!" Seth exclaimed.

"Sure I can. Since Rookie Cadet allows me to! SYNCHRO SUMMON! Appear now, Police Chief, Gryphon!" A gryphon in police clothes appeared on the field.

Police Chief, Gryphon: Level 7/WIND/Winged Beast/2800 ATK/1600 DEF

(Police Bird, Red Trooper: Effect Monster: This card can attack directly. Battle Damage inflicted this way is halved.)

(Police Chief, Gryphon: Synchro Monster: 1 'Police Bird' tuner + 1 or more non-tuner 'Police Bird' monsters: Once per turn, you may discard one card and activate one of two effects:
Place a Handcuff Counter on one monster. Monsters with a Handcuff counter cannot change Battle Positions or activate their effects.
Destroy all face down cards on the opponets side of the field)

"Next, I activate Rookie Cadet's effect! Since this card was sent to the Graveyard for the Synchro Summon of a 'Police' Synchro Monster, I can Special Summon one 'Police Bird' Monster from my deck! Come, Police Bird, Canary Sniper!" A canary bird in police clothes with a big sniper gun as its feet appeared.

Police Bird, Canary Sniper: Level 4/WIND/Winged Beast/1400 ATK/400 DEF

(Police Bird, Canary Sniper: Effect Monster: Once per turn, you may discard one card from your hand; destroy one monster on the field.)

"Now I activate both of my monsters' effects! First, with Canary Sniper, by discarding one card from my hand to the Graveyard, I can destroy one monster on the field! I'll use this effect to get rid of that dog!" The canary bird lifted its sniper gun and pointed it at Freedom Dog. The trigger was released, and it shot the Beast-type, destroying it.

"Freedom Dog!" Fuki cried out.

"Next, with Gryphon's effect, by discarding one card from my hand to the Graveyard, I am able to use one of its two effects. I'll use its effect to put a Handcuff Counter on Toshiro, preventing him from changing his Battle Position and activating his effect!" The Synchro monster's wings glowed and, with one flap, the energy was shot at the Warrior-type and bound him. The glow died down and revealed it to be huge handcuffs.

"Toshiro!" Bella shouted in worry.

"I'm fine! Don't worry about me!" he assured.

"I set two cards face-down and end my turn!" Kezu ended. "It's only a matter of time until you Satellites go to the Facility where you belong!"

"No chance! My turn! Draw!" Seth drew his next card.

"Continuous Trap, Slip Stride!" Kezu interrupted.

"Another one?!"

Mira: 4000 LP/ 5 SC
Mozu: 4000 LP/ 3 SC
Kezu: 4000 LP/ 1 SC
Fuki: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Bella: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Seth: 4000 LP/ 0 SC

"Damn it..." Seth looked ahead and saw that they were nearing the entrance to the pipeline. "Girls! Up ahead!"

"We know! But we can't do anything with that Gate Blocker! Do something, quick!" Bella ordered.

"Leave it to me! I summon Darkus Bee Striker!" A big black and purple bee appeared on the field.

Darkus Bee Striker: Level 4/DARK/Insect/1600 ATK/1200 DEF

(Darkus Bee Striker: Effect Monster: Once per turn, you may change this Attack Position Monster's Battle Position to Defense to destroy one monster on the field. Then Special Summon one DARK Monster from your hand whose Level is half or less than half that destroyed monster's Level.)

"I activate its special ability! Once per turn, by changing his Battle Position to Defense Mode, I can destroy one monster on the field! We have one chance at this, Bee Striker! Shadow Twister!" The Bee blended in with its own shadow and made its way to Gate Blocker, instantly knocking it out. Team Satellite saw their chance to jump over the fence and quickly took it before Mira and her henchmen could stop them.

"They jumped?!" Mozu gasped.

"This is Officer Mira! Open the gate to the pipeline! Immediately!" Mira quickly ordered the people in the control room through her walkie-talkie. As requested, the gates opened and the three Securities rode through. "That was a close one. But you three aren't escaping us! I activate the Trap Card, Reborn Puzzle! If a monster I control is destroyed by a card effect, I can Special Summon that monster back on the field! Go, Gate Blocker!" The wall appeared in front of the freedom duelists once more.

A beep was heard by them. Fuki looked down and saw the time. "Bella! The three minutes are starting now!"

"What?! At a time like this?!" the leader of the group questioned.

"Then we'll just have to end this as quickly as possible!" Seth said. "Due to Bee Striker's effect, I can Special Summon a DARK Monster from my hand whose Level is half or less than half the Level of the monster destroyed by its effect! So come, the Tuner Monster, Darkus El Condor!" The shaman-like monster appeared on the field.

Darkus El Condor: Level 2/DARK/Spellcaster/1300 ATK/900 DEF

"Did he say 'Tuner Monster'?!" Kezu asked.

"Then does that mean he can-?!" Mozu questioned.

"I tune my Level 4 Bee Striker with my Level 2 El Condor! Become the unbeatable creature! One that strike down many of his opponents! SYNCHRO SUMMON! Be revived, Darkus Dual Hydranoid!" The two-headed hydra appeared on his field.

Darkus Dual Hydranoid: Level 6/DARK/Sea Serpent/2600 ATK/1900 DEF

"I set two cards face-down and end my turn!"

"Then it's all back to me. Draw!" Mira drew her next card.

Mira: 4000 LP/ 6 SC
Mozu: 4000 LP/ 4 SC

Kezu: 4000 LP/ 2 SC
Fuki: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Bella: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Seth: 4000 LP/ 0 SC

"I do hope you're ready. I summon the Tuner Monster, Masked Chameleon!" A green chameleon appeared on the field.

Masked Chameleon: Level 4/EARTH/Reptile/1600 ATK/1100 DEF

"When this card is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a monster with 0 DEF from my Graveyard in Defense Mode! Through this effect, I Special Summon Protective Miko!" The miko from earlier whom defended the Gate Blocker appeared on her field.

Protective Miko: Level 1/LIGHT/Psychic/0 ATK/0 DEF

"And if a 'Miko' monster was Special Summoned on the field by a monster's effect besides its own, I Special Summon the Tuner Monster, Supporter Miko!" A girl a little older than Protective Miko appeared on the field.

Supporter Miko: Level 2/LIGHT/Psychic/500 ATK/500 DEF

(Supporter Miko: Effect Tuner: Once per turn, you can change the type and attribute of one monster on the field)

"Next, I tune my Level 1 Protective Miko with my Level 4 Masked Chameleon! SYNCHRO SUMMON! Come, Armades, Keeper of Illusions!" The two monsters combined and formed a ghost-like monster in a white robe.

Armades, Keeper of Illusions: Level 5/LIGHT/Fiend/2300 ATK/1500 DEF

"Next, I activate Supporter Miko's special ability! Once per turn, I can permanently change the monster type and attribute of one monster on the field! I change Gate Blocker's type to Machine!" The rock wall seemed to be shedding, revealing gear parts within it. "Next I activate the Speed Spell- Machine Duplication! If I have three or more Speed Counters, by targeting one Machine-type monster I control with 500 or less ATK, I can Special Summon up to two monsters with the same name as that monster from my deck! Of course, I target my Gate Blocker and summon out two more of him!" Two original copies of Gate Blocker appeared on her field.

(Speed Spell- Machine Duplication: Normal: Activate if you have at least three Speed Counters. Target one Machine-type monster you control with 500 or less ATK; Special Summon up to two monsters from your deck with the same name as that monster)

"And now I tune my Level 4 Gate Blocker with my Level 2 Supporter Miko! SYNCHRO SUMMON! Come, Orient Dragon!" A brown and green dragon with green and blue bird wings appeared on the field.

Orient Dragon: Level 6/WIND/Dragon/2300 ATK/1000 DEF

"And with Orient Dragon's effect, when Synchro Summoned, I am able to banish one Synchro Monster my opponent controls!"

"What?!" Seth gasped.

"That monster can Banish a Synchro Monster!?" Bella questioned.

"Then that means-!" Fuki spoke.

"But why choose one? I activate Multiplier Miko's effect from my hand! If a monster effect activates that targets a number of cards, by discarding this card to my Graveyard, I can double that amount!" A miko appeared and seemed to have enchanted a spell on Orient Dragon before taking her leave. The enchantment caused Orient Dragon to split into two.

(Multiplier Miko: Effect Monster: If a monster effect activates that targets a number of cards, you may discard this card from your hand to double that amount.)

"So now I will be getting rid of both Toshiro and Dual Hydranoid!" Orient Dragons swooped down and took the two monsters away, leaving Bella and Seth defenseless. "This would've been easier if you didn't resist! Battle! I attack the 'Shinigami' duelist directly with Armades and Orient Dragon!" The two monsters did as told and quickly made their way to Bella.

"I won't let you!" Fuki shouted. "From my hand, I activate Freedom Blue Jay's special ability! If my opponent declares an attack while I control a 'Freedom' Monster and have only Monster cards in my Graveyard, by discarding this card from my hand and sending one 'Freedom' Monster on my field to the Graveyard, I can negate the attack and end the Battle Phase!"

"What?!" Team Securities questioned, as a blue bird with a white bandana appeared and, along with Freedom Butterfly, got in the way of both Synchro Monsters' attacks, protecting Bella.

(Freedom Blue Jay: Effect Monster: If your opponent declares an attack while you control a 'Freedom' monster and have only Monsters in your Graveyard, you may discard this card from your hand to negate the attack and end the Battle Phase. Also, draw cards from your deck equal to half the Level of the monster whose attack was negated this way.)

"Then I draw cards equal to half the Level of the monster whose attack was negated this way! Armades' Level is five, so I draw two cards! And along the way, I'll also activate Butterfly's effect! If this card was sent from the field to the Graveyard, I am able to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower 'Freedom' Monster from my deck! Through this effect, I summon another Freedom Butterfly." Another butterfly appeared on her field in Defense Mode.

Mira gritted her teeth. "I end my turn."

Fuki looked down and saw they wasted one minute of their time. 'At this rate, we won't be able to make it. All this planning will be for nothing,' she thought. She looked at her deck. 'We have to get off the island, for everyone!'

"My turn! Draw!" She drew her next card.

Mira: 4000 LP/ 7 SC
Mozu: 4000 LP/ 5 SC

Kezu: 4000 LP/ 3 SC
Fuki: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Bella: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Seth: 4000 LP/ 0 SC

Fuki smirked at the sight of it. "I knew you'd see things my way." Fuki then stood on her seat. "Attention everyone~! It is now time for a great comeback to begin!"

"Comeback?" Mira repeated to herself.

"Hah! You think you can beat us this turn?! That's a laugh!" Mozu mocked.

"You Satellites are way in over your heads these days," Kezu agreed.

"I wonder if that's a fact. Since I control a 'Freedom' monster with 1500 or less ATK, I Special Summon Freedom Dolphin from my hand!" Fuki's dolphin appeared on the field.

Freedom Dolphin: Level 3/WATER/Aqua/1500 ATK/1100 DEF

"Next, I summon Freedom Deer!" A fawn appeared with a white bandana around its neck.

Freedom Deer: Level 3/EARTH/Beast/1300 ATK/800 DEF

(Freedom Deer: Effect Monster: If this card was used as a Synchro Material to summon a 'Freedom' Synchro Monster, while there are no Magic or Trap cards in your Graveyard, the summoned monster gains this effect; 'once per turn, if a card or effect is activated that targets this monster, you can negate that effect and destroy that card.')

"You must be desperately stupid. Those monsters are too weak to defeat us," Kezu mocked.

"Who said that they will be the ones battling?" Fuki questioned. "I tune my Level 3 Dolphin and my Level 3 Deer with my Level 1 Butterfly! Great, unyielding creature! Break free from the control of others and soar through the sky! SYNCHRO SUMMON! Go sky high, Freedom Griffon!" The three monsters formed her own Griffon.

Freedom Griffon: Level 7/WIND/Winged Beast/2700 ATK/2000 DEF

"And Freedom Griffon's effect activates! When summoned, I can destroy one monster whose ATK or DEF is lower than this card! Then I can Special Summon a monster from my deck whose Level is equal to or lower than that monster! Say goodbye to Bumblebee! Sky Dive!" The recently summoned monster swooped down and grabbed the yellow robot. It then climbed into the air and tossed it down, destroying it. "And with Griffon's effect, I Special Summon Freedom Monkey! Also, thought Freedom Butterfly's effect, I Special Summon the Tuner Monster, Freedom Weasel!" Both the monkey and the weasel appeared on her field.

Freedom Monkey: Level 3/EARTH/Beast/1800 ATK/1300 DEF

Freedom Weasel: Level 3/EARTH/Beast/1400 ATK/1200 DEF

"And with Monkey's effect, if this card was Special Summoned, I can Special Summon a 'Freedom' monster from where this card was summoned from! So from my deck, I summon out Freedom Wolf!" A grey wolf with a white bandana appeared on the field.

Freedom Wolf: Level 5/DARK/Beast/2100 ATK/1200 DEF

(Freedom Wolf: Effect Monster: Once per turn, inflict 200 damage to your opponent for each 'Freedom' monster you control. Until the End Phase, monsters your opponent controls loses ATK equal to that amount)

"And since I Special Summoned at least three monsters this turn, I Special Summon the Tuner Monster, Freedom Fox from my hand!" Completing Fuki's monster field was her fox.

Freedom Fox: Level 2/FIRE/Beast/1300 ATK/1500 DEF

"F-... Five monsters?!" Mozu began to panic.

"Calm down! Your monster is still far more stronger than those!" Kezu assured, though he wasn't so sure himself about the situation.

"I wouldn't speak too soon," Seth said.

"When she gets like this, there's no stopping her," Bella told them.

"That's right!" Fuki confirmed. She sat back down on her seat and quickly turned her D-Wheel to a compete 180, facing the securities and riding backwards. "And now for the real fun to begin! First, I activate Freedom Wolf's effect! Once per turn, I can inflict 200 points of damage to my opponent for each 'Freedom' monster on my field! There are five monsters, so that's 1000 points of damage to Mozu! Howling Gunner!" The wolf let out a powerful howl, one that released strong shockwaves at the 'Autobot' duelist.

Mira: 4000 LP/ 7 SC
Mozu: 3000 LP/ 5 SC

Kezu: 4000 LP/ 3 SC
Fuki: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Bella: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Seth: 4000 LP/ 0 SC

"I tune my Level 3 Monkey with my Level 2 Fox! Great, beautiful creature! Aid us with your great abilities! SYNCHRO SUMMON! Bring us to safety, Freedom Unicorn!" Her unicorn appeared by her side.

Freedom Unicorn: Level 5/LIGHT/Beast/2200 ATK/1600 DEF

"Next..." Fuki looked at Bella and Seth, as if asking for permission. The two smirked and nodded. She smiled back at them.

Mira noticed their silent conversation and got curious and suspicious. 'A silent communication? What does that mean?' she wondered.

"I tune my Level 5 Wolf with my Level 3 Weasel!" the 'Freedom' Duelist continued. "With those ruby red eyes, spot out our path to freedom! SYNCHRO SUMMON!" A blinding light suddenly appeared, enough for the Securities to cover their eyes and look away. Doing so, they accidentally turned their D-Wheels and crashed, forcing the duel to end.

Mira: 4000 LP/ 7 SC
Mozu: 3000 LP/ 5 SC

Kezu: 4000 LP/ 3 SC
Fuki: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Bella: 4000 LP/ 0 SC
Seth: 4000 LP/ 0 SC

WINNER: UNDECIDED!

As soon as they crashed, the two Gate Blockers disappeared. Bella saw their exit right ahead of them. "We're almost there! Full speed ahead!"

At that order the three took off, Fuki turning her D-Wheel back around. "Looks like we'll have to continue some other time! Later!" she shouted.

Seth looked down and widened his eyes at the time they had left. "We have to hurry! We have less than thirty seconds left!" At his words, they kicked it to overdrive. With only a few seconds left to spare, they managed to get out of the pipeline and into Neo Domino City.


Days after that, Fuki, Seth and Bella managed to stay in hiding. They were thankful that they kept their helmets on the whole time during that duel, otherwise, Security would've found them by now.

Right now, the three of them were in a bakery that they formed their second day in Neo Domino. The place was a wreck when they found it. With the help of their monsters through Bella and Seth's psychic powers, they managed to make it look new. That, and Bella was a good baker. Within a couple of days, their bakery became quite famous. Much to their surprise, words spread fast in Neo Domino.

It was late night and said bakery was closed. Bella, Seth and Fuki were in the kitchen, thinking about some things. Mainly why they were here.

"You still got nothing?" Bella asked her friends.

"Not a thing..." Seth answered.

"There is a tournament coming up, but we have to be chosen for it, last I heard," Fuki said. "We have to join in somehow."

"But how? Sector Security knew what our decks are. If we duel, we would be practically asking them to arrest us right on the spot."

"Seth, believe me. I'm conflicted and having trouble about this like you. But there isn't much we could do here," Bella tried to explain. "No one said this would be quick and easy. We'll just have to keep working here in this bakery and hope for a miracle."

Seth looked down and knew she was right. For all they knew, it could take them years.

"It doesn't matter how long it takes," Fuki spoke. "We have to do this. For everyone's dreams and... and her's..."

Bella and Fuki knew who she meant by the last word and nodded before cleaning up for the day and went to sleep.

'We took our first step, but that's just it; one step,' Fuki thought. She took out one of her cards, the card that she was about to summon that duel against the Securities. 'If you were here... What would you do next? Mother...'
