Woo hoo! Finally! Now that my exams are over with, I'll be sure to update more often with all the time I have. So for this chapter, it's time that Kaze got some action since he hasn't been seen in a while. Hope you guys enjoy!

Chapter 4:

A green light shined as a figure on a Duel Runner came out and stopped.

Kaze's POV:

I looked around and smiled as I arrived home in the Tops Area. "Looks like...I'm finally home!" I shouted. I started my engines and accelerated straight to my home. 'I bet Kyousuke is worried about me. Then again, I have been away for awhile.' As I drove across streets of the City, I heard sirens making me turn my head around and see a Security Officer after me. 'Tch! Even at a time like this?'

"Pull over! Pull over, scum with an unregistered Duel Runner! If you refuse to pull over, you are under arrest!" The officer threatened. "Huh? You're kidding me! They still do this!?" I exclaimed as I continued driving faster to lose him. As the officer noticed that I was going faster, he growled in anger. "Fine! Since you don't look like the type of person to follow orders, then we'll settle this with a duel. Field Spell: Speed World Neo, set ON!" The officer pressed a button as the Speed World Neo Field Spell showed up in our display screens and the Field Spell activated changing the settings around us. "Duel Mode ON! Autopilot, Standby!"

"Tch! He's forcing me to duel, huh?" I then smirked at the idea. "In that case, I'll accept! Besides, it's time to show the world what I'm made of!" I drove side by side as the mechanic that sets up additional roads rose from the ground as many people were excited to see a Riding Duel.


Meanwhile

Yuki's POV:

As we were settling at Yugo's orphanage home, pillars started coming out of the ground as 4 roads were dropped at the top at connected with the others. "Whoa! What's this!?" I wondered as Yugo and Serena were smiling in excitement. "A Riding Duel at this time!? Awesome!" Yugo cheered. "Huh!? A Riding Duel!?" I exclaimed. Holographic screens came on as Melissa Claire was broadcasting the duel from a helicopter. "Well folks! It looks like we have yet another Riding Duel! And this time it's Officer 127 VS a suspect named Kaze Armstrong! Now, how will this duel turn out? Stay tuned to find out!" Melissa concluded as the camera was broadcasting the duel.

"Kaze!? He's dueling!? That's not fair!" Yugo exclaimed until Yuzu smacked him with her fan making me and Serena sweat drop a bit.


Kaze's POV:

As we rode side by side each other, we started to accelerate faster. "Riding Duel, ACCELERATION!"

Turn 1

Kaze: 4000

Hand: 5

VS

Security Officer 127: 4000

Hand: 5

"I'll take the first move! My turn!" I started.

"If I don't control any monsters on my field, I can special summon Mechborg - Corporal from my hand!"

Mechborg - Corporol: Lv. 3 WIND Machine ATK: 1300/ DEF: 300

"Next, I summon my tuner monster Mechborg - Alpha!"

Mechborg - Alpha: Lv. 3 WIND Machine/Tuner ATK: 500/ DEF: 1500

"I'm far from done! I activate my Corporal's effect! Since I control another PsyMech other than itself, I can special summon a Mechborg - Private from my deck! Up and center soldier!"

Mechborg - Private: Lv. 2 WIND Machine ATK: 600/ DEF: 500

"Now I tune my lv 3 Alpha with my lv 3 Corporal and lv 2 Private!" Alpha turned into 3 green rings as Corporal and Private went through them. "When Corporals fight to the death with their life on the line, they will be reborn into a hero! Synchro Summon! Appear! Level 8! Mechborg - Sergeant Commander!"

Mechborg - Sergeant Commander: Lv. 8 WIND Machine/Synchro ATK: 2700/ DEF: 2400

"Oh my! It's the suspect's first turn and already he's summoned a Synchro Monster!" Melissa commented.

"Now my Private's effect activates! When this card is used as a Synchro material, I can draw two cards from my deck and then discard one!" I drew two and discarded one card.

"I set one card facedown and end my turn."

Turn 2

Kaze: 4000

Hand: 3

VS

Security Officer 127: 4000

Hand: 5

"Already busting out a Synchro monster on your first turn? That's a mistake that you'll regret! My turn, draw!"

"I summon the tuner monster, Jutte Fighter!"

Jutte Fighter: Lv. 2 EARTH Warrior/Tuner ATK: 700/ DEF: 900

"And by reducing your Synchro monster's ATK by 500, I can special summon Sasumata Gardna from my hand!"

Sasumata Gardna: Lv. 3 EARTH Warrior ATK: 1000/ DEF: 2000

Sergeant Commander ATK: 2700-2200

"I tune my lv 2 Jutte Fighter with my lv 3 Sasumata Gardna!" Jutte Fighter turned into 2 rings as Sasumata Gardna went through them. "Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 5! Goyo Chaser!"

Goyo Chaser: Lv. 5 EARTH Warrior/Synchro ATK: 1900/ DEF: 1000

"Heh! Your monster's not strong enough to beat mine!" I stated. "How foolish. From my hand, I activate the continuous spell Solidarity. Since I only control one monster type in my graveyard, all monsters with the same type on my field gain 800 ATK points!" My eyes widened as Goyo Chaser gained a fierce aura.

Goyo Chaser ATK: 1900-2700

"Battle! Goyo Chaser attack Sergeant Commander!" Goyo Chaser swung it's weapon and aimed for my monster destroying it. "Grgh!"

Kaze: 4000-3500

"At this moment, my Sergeant's effect activates! When he's destroyed by battle, I can special summon two Mechborg monsters from my graveyard negating their effects in DEF mode. Come! Mechborg - Coporal and Mechborg - Private!" I announced as both my monsters took defense stance while catching up.

Mechborg - Corporol: Lv. 3 WIND Machine ATK: 1300/ DEF: 300

Mechborg - Private: Lv. 2 WIND Machine ATK: 600/ DEF: 500

"Hmph! Then I will activate a special ability as well! When my Chaser destroyed your monster, I can summon it to my field with half it's ATK!" 127 explained as my monster stood on his field.

Mechborg - Sergeant Commander: Lv. 8 WIND Machine/Synchro ATK: 2700-1350/ DEF: 2400

"That's dirty using my monster against me!" I exclaimed. "No complaints, punk! I'll have Sergeant Commander attack your Corporal!" Sergeant Commander dashed ahead to destroy my monster. "Hold on! From my graveyard, I activate Mechborg - Alpha's effect from my graveyard! When my opponent attacks a lv 5 or lower monster on my field, I can negate your attack, tribute the targeted attacked monster, and special summon Alpha from my grave!" A graveyard portal opened as Alpha emerged and stopped the attack but Corporal turned into sparkles of yellow light.

Mechborg - Alpha: Lv. 3 WIND Machine/Tuner ATK: 500/ DEF: 1500

"But the downside is when he leaves the field, it will be banished instead." I explained. "Heh! So you saved your monster for another synchro summon. Fine, if that's what you want. I'll set two cards facedown and end my turn."

Turn 3

Kaze: 4000

Hand: 3

VS

Security Officer 127: 4000

Hand: 1

"Alright, here goes! My turn, draw!" I looked at the card and growled. "Tch! A dead draw but I'll have to wipe out his monsters as of now." I muttered to myself.

"Let's do this! I tune my lv 3 Alpha with my lv 2 Private!" Alpha turned into 3 green rings as Private went through them. "For the fallen comrades that have perished, the avenger must fulfill their dying wishes! Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 5! Mechborg - Captain Avenger!"

Mechborg - Captain Avenger: Lv. 5 WIND Machine/Synchro ATK: 1500/ DEF: 800

"Heh! What a pathetic monster for a Synchro Summon! Looks like you've lost this one!" 127 pointed out. "No! I'm far from done! Since my Private was used as a synchro material again, his effect activates again!" I drew 2 and my eyes widened. "Got it." I took the card I needed and sent the other to the graveyard. "Since you control 2 spell or traps on your field, I can activate the spell Mechanic Rescue Unit! The effect of this spell lets me return a Mechborg Synchro monster on either field back to my Extra Deck and then special summon another Mechborg Synchro that's one level lower than the targeted monster regardless of the summoning conditions! I return Sergeant Commander that's under your control back to my Deck!" 127 gasped as Sergeant Commander glowed green and returned back to my Extra Deck as I picked another card and slapped it onto my disk. "Controlling the seas with your power, rise back up and fight by my side once more! Appear, Level 7! Mechborg - Vice Admiral!"

Mechborg - Vice Admiral: Lv. 7 WIND Machine/Synchro ATK: 2500/ DEF: 1900

"Ha, Fool! I got you! I play the continuous trap Tuner's Scheme! Since you just special summoned a Synchro Monster, I can take control of it! You're monster is mine!" 127 shouted. "Not this time! On the turn my spell summons my Vice Admiral, it is unaffected by all card effects until the end of this turn!"

"What!?" 127 exclaimed as his trap's effect did not have any effect. "Battle! Vice Admiral attack Goyo Chaser!" Vice Admiral pulled out two torpedoes from it's shoulder's and fired the first torpedo. "And now my Captain Avenger's effect activates! By forfeiting it's attack this turn and banishing a Mechborg in my graveyard, my Avenger's ATK is added to another monster on my field! I banish Mechborg - Warrant Officer and give my Vice Admiral 1500 more ATK!" I declared.

Vice Admiral ATK: 2500-4000

"Grgh!"

Security Officer 127: 4000-2700

"And now my Vice Commander's effect activates! Since it destroyed your monster, you take 200 times the level of the destroyed monster as damage! Goyo Chaser's Lv is 5 so therefore you take 1000 points!" I explained as the second torpedo fired and hit the officer. "Grgh!"

Security Officer 127: 2700-1700

"I'll end my turn with three cards facedown. At this moment, Captain Avenger's effect ends returning Vice Admiral's ATK back to normal."

Vice Admiral ATK: 4000-2500

Turn 4

Kaze: 4000

Hand: 1

VS

Security Officer 127: 1700

Hand: 1

"You'll pay for that! My turn, draw!"

"I play the trap Descending Lost Star! This trap let's me summon a Synchro monster from my graveyard in DEF mode with it's DEF at 0, loses 1 level, and can't change battle positions! Come, Goyo Chaser!" A graveyard portal opened as Goyo Chaser came out with a blue aura.

Goyo Chaser: Lv. 5-4 EARTH Warrior/Synchro ATK: 1900/ DEF: 1000-0

"Then I summon the tuner monster Torapart!"

Torapart: Lv. 2 DARK Warrior/Tuner ATK: 600/ DEF: 600

"I tune my lv 2 Torapart with my lv 4 Goyo Chaser!" Torapart turned into 2 rings as Goyo Chaser went through them. "Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 6! Goyo Predator!"

Goyo Predator: Lv. 6 EARTH Warrior/Synchro ATK: 2400/ DEF: 1200

"And now since Solidarity is still on my field, all my Warriors gain 800 ATK!"

Goyo Predator ATK: 2400-3200

"Battle! Goyo Predator attack Vice Admiral!" Goyo Predator twirled it's weapon and shot at Vice Admiral destroying him. "Grgh!"

Kaze: 4000-3300

"And since my Goyo Predator destroyed your monster, I can summon it to my field!" A graveyard portal opened as Vice Admiral took 127's side. "Dammit! Again!?"

"Now Vice Admiral attack his Captain Avenger!" Vice Admiral shot a torpedo at my monster destroying him. "AAHHH!" I started wobbling until I gained control and kept ahead of the officer.

Kaze: 3300-2300

"And you should remember your own monster's effect! You now take 1000 points since your monster was lv 5!" Vice Admiral shot another torpedo at me. "GAAHHH!" I started spinning out of control as I regained my posture and growled when the officer got ahead of me.

Kaze: 2300-1300

"And now from my hand I play the quick-play spell Goyo's Scent! This spell allows my Goyo monster to attack once more when two or more monsters were destroyed this turn!" Goyo Predator sniffed and turned it's attention to me.

"With my 100th arrest starting with him, I'm sure to be promoted! Goyo Predator attack him directly!" Goyo chaser dashed and prepared to deal the finishing blow until I smirked. "I play the trap Return from the Different Dimension! By paying half my LP, I can special summon any banished monsters for one turn! Come, my monsters!"

Kaze: 1300-650

A white hole opened as Alpha and Warrant Officer took the field.

Mechborg - Alpha: Lv. 3 WIND Machine/Tuner ATK: 500/ DEF: 1500

Mechborg - Warrant Officer: Lv. 5 WIND Machine ATK: 2200/ DEF: 1300

"That's nothing!" 127 said. "Oh yeah? I play my other trap Urgent Tuning! During the Battle Phase, I can Synchro Summon!" I countered. "What!?" 127 exclaimed.

"I tune my lv 3 Alpha with my lv 5 Warrant Officer!" Alpha turned into 3 green rings as Warrant Officer went through them. "When becoming one with the wind, bring in a powerful storm to wipe out your enemies! Synchro Summon! Rage on! Level 8! Gale-Eyes Storm Dragon!"

Gale-Eyes Storm Dragon: Lv. 8 WIND Dragon/Synchro ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2500

"I told you that's nothing! And when I take your dragon, your done for!" 127 said confidently. "I'm still not done yet! I activate my last trap card, Winds of Destruction! By destroying one Wind monster I control on my field, all your monsters whose current ATK are less than the destroyed monster will be destroyed! Gale-Eyes' ATK is 3000 so therefore Vice Admiral is destroyed!" Gale-Eyes swirled like a tornado and destroyed Vice Admiral along with itself.

"Tch! But now you've left yourself wide open! Huh?" A gale of gust occurred as Gale-Eyes reappeared and roaring once more.

Gale-Eyes Storm Dragon: Lv. 8 WIND Dragon/Synchro ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2500

"What!? But how!?" 127 exclaimed.

"It's his special ability! When this card leaves the field by a card effect, it returns back to the field! And additionally! For every lv 8 or lower monster that left the field by a card effect, my dragon gains half their ATK until the end of this turn! Gale Howling!" Gale-Eyes roared and sent out green waves of energy and gained more power.

Gale-Eyes Storm Dragon ATK: 3000-5750

"And now from my graveyard, I activate Warrant Officer's effect! When a Wind Synchro monster is special summoned on my field, I can banish my officer to force the summoned monster and one monster you control to battle!" I declared taking Warrant Officer from my graveyard. "I-Impossible! This can't be!"

"Go! Gale-Eyes Storm Dragon attack Goyo Predator!" A gale of gust started picking up surrounding Gale-Eyes as the winds started to build up in it's mouth for an attack. "Heavy Storm of Destruction!" My dragon fired a beam of green wind at Goyo Predator shredding it to bits and reducing 127's LP to zero as steam came out of the officer's Duel Runner allowing me to pass him. "GAAAAHHHHH!"

Kaze: 650(Winner!)

Security Officer 127: 0

"It's over! And the winner of this Riding Duel is Kaze Armstrong!" The screen display showed my face with the WIN sign. "Heh! There's nothing in this world that can stop me!"


At Yugo's orphanage

Yuki's POV:

"Whoa! That's awesome, Kaze!" Yugo cheered. "So this is a Riding Duel. It's so much different than the original rules." I muttered. "Well this just got more interesting."


Kaze's POV:

As I drove across the lanes, I saw a patrol of security officers form a blockade ahead of me. "Oh come on! Can't I just take a break from being chased by these losers!?" I exclaimed as I then sighed. "No choice then. I activate the trap Jump Guard!" As I activated the trap, my Duel Runner jumped high and hopped over the blockade and then landed behind them as I made my getaway. "See ya around at the Friendship Cup!"


Yuki's POV:

"Friendship Cup? What's he talking about?" I wondered. "Oh! It's a competition that's held every year whether your a Common or a Tops resident. It's also a competition where you get to face the Duel King, Jack Atlas!" Serena explained. " What she said! I'm gonna enter and beat Jack so we don't have to live here!" Yugo said with a determined face.

"Heh. Is that so? In that case, I'll enter as well!" I said as Yugo and Serena were surprised. "Are you sure?" Serena asked. "Yup! I'm sure!" I answered. Serena smiled at my determination. "Then I'll be sure to cheer you on!"

"Heh! This will get interesting! Okay Yuki, your on!" Yugo challenged putting up a fist as we fist bumped each other.


Sekai's POV:

After settling things down with Sinon after our duel, we arrived back at Kyousuke's orphanage home and I explained to Martha what happened. After that, we settled for a bit in the guest rooms Martha provided us. We both sat down on separate beds facing each other. "Sinon, please. I need to know whats happening back home and how you got here." I begged. Sinon stuttered for a moment until she took a breathe. "Alright."

Flashback

Sinon's POV:

I was scouring the ruined city of Heartland for any survivors until I came across 3 Academia students wearing red and yellow uniforms were closing in on a defenseless Resistance member cowering in fear. "P-Please! Have mercy on me!" The students were smirking maliciously as one of them activated the Human Sealing system turning him into a card.

"Tch! Those bastards!" I activated my duel disk and played my spell materializing a sniper rifle that turns anyone into a card if hit by the projectile. I aimed through my scope as I shot twice at the two students turning them into cards. The last student gasped as he turned his attention to me and tried to make a run for it. I pulled the trigger for my third shot and turned him into a card.

Later, I made it back to the Resistance camp to check and see if anything went wrong but nothing out of the ordinary. I then heard a scream nearby and ran to the source. When I arrived, I saw two people wearing cloaks carry Ruri on one of their shoulder.

"Hey! Put her down!" I aimed as they smirked when I saw what shocked me is that they looked like Yuto and...Sekai!? "What!? These guys look just like...Yuto and Sekai! Who are you two!?" I demanded. The look alikes grinned as Sekai's look alike held up his duel disk. "You're that sniper that turns anyone you shoot at into a card. Well aren't you a naughty girl for taking out many of our soldiers. I think it's time I send you somewhere where you'll never come back home ever again. I activate the spell Dimension Wormhole!" Sekai's look alike acted as a wormhole opened behind Sinon as she tried to keep her footing down but was sucked in. "AAAHHHHH!" The wormhole closed as I was wandering until I felt solid ground. I woke up to see abandoned buildings and a city over top. "W-Where am I?" I wondered.

Flashback End

Sekai's POV:

"And that's how I ended up here." Sinon finished. I looked down in depression that there could be more but I decided not to push it anymore further. "Well. Be sure to get some rest. I'm gonna be up for a few minutes." I told her as she nodded and tucked herself in. I looked out the window in thought. 'With everything getting worse in Heartland, I'm gonna need to up my game until we get to Academia.'


Elsewhere

No one's POV:

As Kaze got off the road, he drove across the streets looking for his orphanage home until he caught a glimpse of someone from the edge of his visor and stopped. He lifted his visor and got off the Duel Runner. He ran up to the person and it was a girl that was unconscious. "Hey. Hey! You okay?" Kaze shook her and checked her heart with his ear to her chest while unaware that she woke up. She was groaning as she opened her eyes and caught a glimpse of Kaze near her chest. She blushed and screamed as she slapped him so hard that he was sent flying and crashed to the wall.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" Kaze held his head to ease the pain. "Okay, that really hurt. Huh?" He looked up to see the girl looking angry glaring at him and covering her chest. "Gee! What was that for!?" I shouted. "Y-yo-you...a-almost touched m-my...chest!" The girl countered. "Huh!? But I was trying to check for a heartbeat!" I told her. "Shut up you pervert! You should just die!" The girl picked up a couple of bricks and threw them at Kaze as he dodged it. "Will you just listen to me!"

The ranting went on for a while until things started to calm down as Kaze and the girl were on opposite sides. "Pervert." The girl muttered. "I keep telling you-!" The girl humphed as she ignored him. Kaze groaned that things weren't working out until he came up with an idea. "How about we duel? If I win you'll have to forgive me but if I lose, then you can do whatever you want with me. How's that sound?" Kaze suggested. The girl hesitated until she stood up. "Fine then, I'll accept." She took out a Standard Dimension duel disk and activated it. "That's a Standard Duel Disk! Then she's from the Standard Dimension?" Kaze wondered as he shrugged and walked to his Runner to detach the duel disk and attach it to his arm. "It's been a while since I dueled on the ground. Let's do this!"

And that's a wrap! Sorry guys for keeping you waiting. It's just that I was planning on posting this chapter on June 22 but I got held up and was on vacation in Los Angeles, California. But now that this is done, I want at least 3 people to submit to me some new cards that I'll choose from them to help support Kat's deck for the Synchro Arc. Hope I can get it as soon as possible before I start chapter 5. So Read & Review what you've thought about this chapter and keep enjoying and dueling with smiles! Don't blink because the fun has only just begun!
