In the Fusion dimension

As soon as came back to Academia, Yuri hurriedly ran towards his sister's hospital room. Wiping sweats on his face, he tried to run faster. He felt scared with what he just saw through his duel disk. Serena... if something happens to you, I don't know how I will handle...

"Yuri-sama," an Obelisk Force called him as he simply went pass them without saying a word. It wasn't normal when he hurriedly came back from a mission. "Wait a moment. Professor wants to meet you."

"Tell that old man that I have no time," Yuri shortly replied, even not turning to look at Obelisk Forces then ran faster. He couldn't wait longer to see his sister.

As soon as he arrived her room, he broke the door since he had no mood to knock it and waited for someone to open it for him. He already knew nobody there. Seeing Serena being in the pain, he hurriedly ran to and held her hand tightly. "Serena! Are you alright? Hey, respond me! Serena!"

Suddenly, while she was bestirring herself, the dropping bottle was broken. A drop of liquid was splashed on the back of his right hand. Unconsciously, he licked it.

And he was frozen right after.

It wasn't the seawater like what they told him. Playing and working on the poison since he was a child, Yuri knew exactly what it was. That poison wasn't enough to kill Serena, but he was sure because of it, Serena couldn't recover totally. He gritted his teeth, clenching his fist, then quickly removed medical equipments attached his sister and carried her up.

Those bastards... They dare to do this to control me. I...

In a moment, he only wanted to ran to Professor and punch him in his face. His eyes were filled by the anger, they were like flames. However, he quickly calmed down. He couldn't punch or duel that man with Serena being in his arms. But if he didn't hold Serena, who knew what would happen to his dear sister...

I need to leave from here. Yuri quickly decided, looking at his sister. However, he didn't know where he was going to go to. Obviously he couldn't stay anywhere in the Fusion dimension: It would be the problem about time until Academia discovered them again. He couldn't go to the Synchro dimension, where Academia was attacking. That dimension wouldn't accept them, and even if they did, they didn't also necessary equipments to treat her properly. He couldn't go to the Standard dimension neither, where Professor's son stay. He didn't know if Reiji liked working with Reo or not, but he didn't want to risk.

He only remained the Xyz dimension to go to. But even so, how can he handle with the new situation?

Suddenly, the image of a girl looked like Serena appeared in his mind, the one who had the long purple hair and the pink eyes. He widened his eyes.

It's right! Now Ruri is being detained at Academia and Yuto is still stuck in the Synchro dimension. If I can take advantage of that...

Not thinking more, Yuri hurriedly hugged Serena and teleported themselves away. Watching everything through the big screen, Professor angrily punched at the table. He thought as long as he kept Serena, Yuri would always follow him. But only because of a small mistake, his prisoner left.

"Hurry up and look for Yuri!" he yelled at ones around him. "I don't care how you do, by all costs you must find them."

-o0o0o0o0o0-

In the Maiaimi City, the Xyz dimension

Yuri ran as fast as possible, trying to find Ruri's house. The last time he came here, he didn't notice so much, then he didn't remember exactly where it was. But it was the only hope. He could only save Serena if they disguised themselves as Yuto and Ruri. If he could find their friends...

"Yuto? Is it you?"

Yuri blinked a few times before remembered why he came here. He turned to look with the normal face. The one who was in front of him was a girl had the short light-purple and lilac hair. He remembered he saw her once, her name was...

"Yeah, it's me, Sayaka..." he replied, trying to keep calm down. "Ruri is..."

Sayaka paled when saw the girl in his arms. "Ruri!" she yelled. "What happened to her?"

"I can't explain right now," Yuri hurriedly said. "Hurry up, help me to take her to the hospital."

Sayaka nodded and quickly called for Allen, then quickly ordered an taxi to take them to the hospital. However, the more she looked at 'Ruri', the more she felt something wrong. The girl in front of her looked like Ruri, but... she felt that girl wasn't her friend. The hair style, the hair color, the outfit... everything was different.

Even so, she knew the boy who was holding the girl's hand had a reason to disguise himself as Yuto. She bit her lips, deciding not to ask anything until the situation of the girl got better.

Exactly... who are you guys? she wondered. Why do you look like my friends? And why do you know me?

-o0o0o0o0o0-

At Yuya's home, Maiami City, the Standard dimension

The young boy had the light cyan hair was sitting still under a tree, staring at his yellow duel disk. He couldn't understand himself. He always reminded himself of being an Academia soldier. He needed and only needed to do what Professor wanted. So why... was he hesitant to inform Professor that he found Yuzu!?

He didn't know. During three weeks, he tried to send that message a ton of times, but then somehow he always deleted it before he could send it. He sighed, trying to convince himself to do that again while his eyes were still focusing on the text on his duel disk with an image of the pink haired girl.

"I found the girl that you want, her name is Hiiragi Yuzu..."

He leaned against the tree, looking up the twinkling stars. Should I really send it? he thought.

At that moment, Yuya went outside, looking around. He shrugged, not understanding why his mother agreed to let Sora stay their home. He was glad when he got a new friend, but then she almost forgot he was her son. But the most important thing... was what Dennis told them.

"Sora!" Yuya called loudly when he saw the young boy sitting under the tree. "What are you doing there? Hurry up and have the dinner."

Being startled, Sora incidentally touched his duel disk. A 'pip' sounded. Sora paled, looking down it.

The message was sent.

Yuzu, I'm sorry, he thought. I don't mean to do this. But don't worry, I believe Yuya can protect you.

Hey, what am I thinking? he wondered. I'm an Academia soldier. This is what I should do, isn't it?

"Sora!"

The boy had the green-maroon called him again. Sora shook his head, standing up then quickly regained the fun face as he always had. "Hey, wait a moment, I'm coming," he said, running towards Yuya.

Don't worry, it'll be fine, Yuya. There will be nothing...

Yuya narrowed his eyebrows, staring at the young boy. While keeping the normal expression, he felt scared. What if Sora was contacting Professor? What if that man wanted Yuzu? What if...

No, I'll protect Yuzu. By all cost I won't let anyone take her away. Anyone.

-o0o0o0-

At Yuzu's house

"Dennis..."

The pink hair girl softly called and went to the Entermage user who was sitting at the porch. He began staying with her and Shuzo since three weeks ago. At the beginning, Shuzo didn't like that since Dennis was LDS student. However, Yuzu tried to convince him she needed to a friend, and Dennis couldn't keep living in that warehouse forever. Seeing her puppy eyes, Shuzo sighed. He couldn't refuse his dear daughter anything. Of course, he still gave Dennis the deadly glares whenever two teenagers were together.

Dennis turned to look at Yuzu, trying to smile. She sighed, sitting down next to him. "Dennis," she whispered, "you don't need to do that face in front of me. I know what you're feeling..."

Dennis's smile quickly faded. Hiding a sigh, he stared up stars. "Rin likes stars very much, especially shooting stars. She says they're amazing, and she can watch them the whole night..."

Yuzu softly held Dennis's hands. He widened his eyes and looked at her. Yuzu's hands... were warm, like Yugo's and Rin's.

"I believe she would be safe, Yugo was with her," Yuzu smiled, trying to reassure her friend. "And someday she would understand your heart. You never want to hurt her. I know there would be wounds in her heart, but you and she always can begin a true friendship."

"Thank you, Yuzu..."

Dennis whispered, softly removing her hand from his hand. Incidentally he dropped a card from his pocket. Yuzu picked it up and looked at it. A Fusion monster card.

"Wind Witch - Crystal Bell? Isn't it...?"

Yuzu blinked, then looked at Dennis curiously, still holding the card tightly. Not waiting for her to finish the sentence, Dennis nodded.

"Yeah, Wind Witch is Rin's deck," he said, staring at the card until Yuzu returned it to him. "I created this card myself for her."

Yuzu was confused. "But I don't think Rin would want to use a Fusion monster."

Dennis only smirked, saying nothing. Of course he knew that. He didn't even understand why he tried his best to create that card neither. He only felt wanting to do it. He knew Rin would never use it. Ah no, maybe he and Rin would never have a chance to meet each other again... But somehow, he still created it. Maybe... he wanted to feel Rin was still with him.

Somehow...

-o0o0o0o0o0-

The next afternoon

"Hey, are you fine, Yuya?"

Yuzu worriedly asked her friend. She noticed since the morning, Yuya showed anxious. He barely said anything, even when Sora and Dennis tried to talk to, he still found a way to avoid them. Of course, he couldn't avoid her. They had been been together since they were children. He had no way to escape from her, so they went together. He stopped on his way, turned to look at her and sighed.

"I don't want to say, Yuzu..."

He shortly replied, what the pink hair girl never accepted. She shook her head.

"Exactly what happened, Yuya? You're strange today. We're friends, right? Please tell me."

Yuya was hesitant, then sat down a bench on the roadside. Yuzu quickly sat next to him.

"The last night, I saw Sora doing something to his duel disk, like he was sending a message or something." Yuya began telling. "I feel scared, Yuzu. What if that Professor is aiming to you? What if you're taken away from me? I..."

Yuzu sighed, holding his hands. "Don't worry, Yuya. It won't happen. Nobody can hurt me or you. We'll fight together until the war ends and your Dad comes back..."

"Dad..."

Yuya whispered under his breath. He missed his father very much. He didn't want anything more seeing Yusho again. To him, Yusho was his whole world.

But at the moment, he had a strange feeling. He didn't know what it was, but he seemed not to want to see or hear about his father again.

What's happening to me? Yuya wondered.

"I won't go anywhere, Yuya. I'll always stay here with you. I promise."

Yuzu held Yuya's hands tighter while saying those words. The blue eyes narrowed firmly. She totally believed in what she just said.

"Yuzu..." Yuya whispered, holding her hands back.

"And even when Sora did that, it isn't over yet," Yuzu added. "If Sora had only followed Professor blindly, he would have sent it at the first day we met him. I'm sure he's hesitating, and you can save him. His smiles are sincere, don't you see it?"

"Smiles..." Yuya repeated softly. He still tried to enjoy each his duel, but since three years ago, his smiles were no longer sincere like before. He only dueled for his mission. Although there were still some duels that he really enjoyed them.

Such as duels he had with Yuzu...

And Sora.

-o0o0o0o0o0-

"Then go alone carefully, Yuzu."

Yuya smiled, saying when they were in front of his home. Although they always went together, normally they would arrive Yuzu's home first. But because of talking so much, they didn't notice they were Yuya's. He wanted to go with her to her home, but she giggled and refused. She wasn't a weak princess who always needed a prince to protect her.

"Yeah, don't worry, I will call you as soon as I reached my home," Yuzu waved. "Okay?"

Walking alone on the familiar street, Yuzu felt a causeless fear. She didn't understand. She said it would be fine herself, didn't she? Unconsciously, she grabbed her duel disk.

It's okay, she whispered to herself. I'll be fine. My home isn't so far from here.

"Oh, I think I found my prey, Hiiragi Yuzu."

Yuzu was startled when saw a cold voice from behind. Her heart pounded, she didn't dare to turn to look. She wasn't too coward, so why...? She shook her head, trying to regain her calm. But before she could do anything else, somehow the owner of that voice stood in front of her. That was a young girl who was wearing the long light pink dress and holding a light green scepter. Yuzu felt a shiver down his spine. Despite her appearance, Yuzu already knew that girl wasn't here for a good purpose, especially when she knew her full name.

"Who are you?" Yuzu asked back, stepping back a bit.

"I'm Diana, the loyal soldier of Academia," the girl introduced herself. "Now, go with me, Professor is waiting for you."

"Never!"

Yuzu yelled. She wasn't too crazy to go with that strange girl. Academia wasn't absolutely a place where she should go to. Holding her duel disk in her right hand tightly, she firmly looked straight at Diana.

"Oh, so you want to get a hard trip," Diana smirked then activated her duel disk, revealing a green blaze.

"I won't lose!" Yuzu exclaimed. Not only because of the determination of a duelist, she had special cards that Reiji gave her. It would help her.

[DUEL!]

[Yuzu's LP: 4000]

[Diana's LP: 4000]

"So I'll go first," Diana smirked, glancing at her hand. "I activate the spell card, Polymerization. I fuse Warrior Lady of the Crescent (DARK/ Warrior/ Effect/ LV4/ 1600/ 800) and Warrior Lady of the Moon (DARK/ Warrior/ Effect/ LV6/ 2100/ 1400). She exclaimed when the Fusion Vortex appeared above her. "When the shining moonlight hits the Flamberge, the two warriors become one!" She clenched her hands together. "Fusion summon! Moon Protector! Descend!"

[Moon Protector: DARK/ Warrior/ Fusion/ Effect/ LV7/ 2100/ 2400]

"Fusion monster..."

Yuzu mumbled. She knew Fusion summon wasn't bad, she was wanting to learn it when she had a chance. But the monster was in front of her was different. It was evil. She stared at it then glanced at her hand. Probably Diana wouldn't know about them.

"I activate the effect of Moon Protector. Once per turn, I can special summon a Protector's Shield Token to my field. I summon an one in the defense position. Furthermore, as long as I control the Protector's Shield Token (LIGHT/ Warrior/ LV 1/ 0/ 0), your monster can't attack Moon Protector. I set two cards and end my turn," Diana exclaimed when her cards appeared on the field then quickly faded.

"My turn!" Yuzu said, drawing the card to start her turn. "With the Scale 1 Maria the Melodious Diva and Scale 9 Ciara the Melodious Diva, I Set the Pendulum Scale! With this, I can Summon monsters with Levels 2 through 8 simultaneously! Pendulum Summon! Appear, my monsters! Prodigy Mozart the Pendulum Melodious Maestra (LIGHT/ Angel/ Pendulum/ Effect/ LV 8/ 2600/ 2000)! Aria the Melodious Diva (LIGHT/ Angel/ Effect/ LV 4/ 1600/ 1200)!"

"Pendulum summon?" Diana was surprised. She had never heard about it. "What is it? Wait a moment! That monster is a LV8 monster? How can you summon it without the sacrifice?" she asked, pointing at the monster who wore the red dress with the light green wings like a butterfly's.

"It's a Pendulum summon. It allowed me to summon many monsters whose individual Levels are exclusively between the Pendulum Scales of the cards in my Pendulum Zones," she smirked, explaining. "Of course I don't need any sacrifice. What's wrong? Was you be surprised?"

Diana narrowed her eyes. It was the first time she saw something called Pendulum summon, and in fact it caused her a small trouble. One of her cards couldn't be activated since Yuzu didn't summon a monster from her Extra Deck, but she could have a lot of way to defeat Yuzu. There was no problem.

"Battle!" Yuzu yelled. "I attack Protector's Shield Token with Aria the Melodious Diva!"

Diana only smirked when her token was destroyed. "Because you destroyed a Protector's Shield Token, I can activate Moon Protector's effect. Your Aria will lose 800 ATK and I gain LP equal to that amount."

[Aria the Melodious Diva's ATK: 1600 - 800]

[Diana's LP: 4000 - 4800]

Yuzu smirked. "It isn't the problem. Anyways that weak token isn't my target. Since you no longer control a Protector's Shield Token, Moon Protector can be attacked. Battle again!" she exclaimed and raised her right arm. "I attack Moon Protector with Prodigy Mozart the Pendulum Melodious Maestra!"

Yuzu did nothing later but staring at two monsters. Somehow she felt the attack wouldn't succeed, but she still wanted to try. Furthermore, she still had the effect of Aria...

"I activate the Continuous trap, Protector Admiration," Diana exclaimed while her set card flipped itself. "I can activate this card if I only control the Extra deck monster by paying 800 LP. As long as it is on my field, all non-Extra deck monsters of my opponent can't attack or activate their effect," she explained when Prodigy Mozart was forced to fly back to Yuzu. "Furthermore, as long as I still control an Extra deck monster, all my Continous trap can't destroyed through the effect."

[Diana's LP: 4800 - 4000]

The pink hair girl could only mumble. She already knew the duel wouldn't be easy, but it was so much. She glanced her cards. She needed to pass the next turn.

"I set one card and end my turn," Yuzu exclaimed.

"So it's my turn again" Diana said, drawing her card. Then she smirked. "With Moon Protector's effect, I special summon a Protector's Shield Token to my field. Then I summon Warrior Lady of the Gibbous Moon (DARK/ Warrior/ Effect/ LV4/ 1500/ 1000). Next, by sending this card to my graveyard during the turn it's summoned, I can increase Moon Protector's ATK equal to its ATK," she said while the new monster dissolved into the thousands of light pieces.

[Moon Protetocr's ATK: 2100 - 3600]

"Trap card, open! Melodious Rhythm Change!" Yuzu yelled when one of set cards flipped itself. "I return Aria to my hand and special summon Freya, Guide to Victory (LIGHT/ Angel/ Effect/ LV 1/ 100/ 100) in the defense position."

Yuzu lowered her right arm, smiling a bit. At least Diana wouldn't be able to cause the damage to her so much. Furthermore...

"It can't still stop me," Diana exclaimed. "Battle! I attack Prodigy Mozart with Moon Protector!"

Yuzu knitted her eyebrows when the attack was going to Prodigy Mozart. She couldn't prevent her monster's destruction, but at least...

"I activate Maria the Melodious Diva's Pendulum effect!" Yuzu exclaimed while the monster in the light column began playing her flute. "Once per turn, I can halve the damage I would take."

"Wait!" Diana interfered, pointing at Maria. "But with Protector Admiration's effect, you can't activate the effect of any monster."

Yuzu smirked. It would be a bigger surprise for the strange girl. Reiji was right when he tried to create Pendulum cards as quickly as possible. They were the useful weapons in the hard fight they would certainly experience.

"It's bad, Diana, but when Pendulum cards in Pendulum Zones, they were treated as spell cards," Yuzu explained. "It means Protector Admiration can't affect them."

"Eh!?" Diana widened her eyes, pretending to be surprised, but she smirked right later. "Oh, thank you very much for saying that. It's useful."

"What?"

The Academia duelist narrowed her eyes. "I activate the effect of Warrior Lady of the Crescent. When a spell or trap is activated to reduce or negate the battle damage, I can banish Crescent from my graveyard and negate that effect. In addition, the damage will be doubled."

"No way!"

Yuzu could only yelled, staring at the attack. Her dear monster was destroyed, and she no longer had any way to prevent the damage. "I'm sorry, Prodigy Mozart..." she whispered while a strong cyclone blew to her, making her fall down.

[Yuzu's LP: 4000 - 2000]

"I end my turn here," Diana exclaimed, looking at the pink hair girl who was struggling to standing up. Yuzu was probably a hard girl, but her dueling skill was still nothing to compare with Diana's.

[Moon Protetocr's ATK: 3600 - 2100]

Yuzu gasped, trying to stand still. Diana was a strong duelist, but she wasn't allowed to lose. She promised Yuya she would go home safely, she couldn't break that promise. She bit her lips and drew the card to begin her turn. Then she smiled.

It came.

"I summon Tuner monster, Beethoven the Melodious Maestra (LIGHT/ Angel/ Effect/ LV 2/ 700/ 200)," Yuzu exclaimed when a new female monster in the dark green blue dress appeared on the field with a brown baton.

"Tuner monster?" Diana knitted her eyebrows. Then Yuzu was a Synchro user. Honestly, it wasn't too bad.

"This's the first time I use the Synchro summon in a real duel," Yuzu said, smiling at her monster. It used to be a secret between herself, Yuya, Reiji and Dennis, but it was time for her to use it. "With Beethoven's effect, I can use a monster on my hand and itself for a Syncho summon. This effect can't be affected by any effect else." She raised her right arm. "I tune my LV 4 Aria the Melodious Diva on my hand into LV 2 Beethoven the Melodious Maestra!"

With Yuzu's words, Beethoven quickly transformed into two green rings and scanned Prodigy Mozart, making her covered by the glowing yellow outline before transformed into four small light balls. "Angel's song! Supreme genius! Tuning your power and start a new song!" Yuzu's voice sounded resolutely. A beam of light then enveloped the stars, passing through the rings. "Synchro summon! Now come here to the stage! LV 6 - Bloom Chorister the Floral Melodious Saint!"

[Bloom Chorister the Floral Melodious Saint: LIGHT/ Angel/ Synchro/ Effect/ LV 6/ 1200/1800)

"Bloom Chorister's effect!" Yuzu exclaimed. "She gains 200 ATK for each original LV of material monsters. Until the end of this turn, one of your monster will lost its ATK equal to that amount. Furthermore, once per turn, by releasing an Angle type monster, she gets number of extra attacks equal to number of her material monsters during each Battle Phase, it means she can attack three times. In this turn, I release Freya."

[Bloom Chorister the Floral Melodious Saint's ATK: 1200 - 3200]

[Moon Protetocr's ATK: 2100 - 100]

Keep calm down, Yuzu, Yuzu thought. It'll be fine. I can win with my monsters.

"It's naive," Diana smirked when saw the hope of victory in Yuzu's eyes. The blue eyes widened while their owner stepping back a bit unconsciously.

"I activate the Continuous trap, Protector Adoration!" Diana yelled, flipping her remaining set card. "I summon two other Protector's Shield Tokens to my field. In addition, your Bloom Chorister's effect will be negated, also it can attack all Protector's Shield Tokens. However, if it doesn't attack, it will be destroyed at the end of Battle Phase."

Yuzu gritted her teeth. She had never met any opponent as annoying as Diana. Looking at the empty hand, she knew she couldn't attack or everything would become more difficult to defeat her opponent. She couldn't do anything but trying to stand to pass Diana's next turn. She still had something in her deck, and she really needed a miracle.

"I activate Ciara the Melodious Diva's Pendulum effect!" Yuzu exclaimed while the female monster in the white prom dress lit up. "Once per turn, I can change a monster into the defense position, and that monster can't be destroyed through battle or effect until my second Standby phase since now."

Yuzu sighed in the relief when Bloom Chorister changed into the defense position in the beam of white light with small lilies. At least she protected her ace.

Or that was what she thought.

"I end my turn," Yuzu concluded.

[Moon Protetocr's ATK: 100 - 2100]

-o0o0o0o0o0-

Yuya worriedly looked through the window. He had a bad feeling. It was a while since Yuzu left, and she didn't still call for him yet. He felt scared. His eyes widened when he remembered Sora's reaction the last night.

Don't tell me Yuzu...

Yuya! Yuya!

Yuya was startled when saw the familiar voice - Odd-Eyes's, and it even made him worried more. Sometimes Odd-Eyes still talked to him, but only in his dreams. His ace had never called him when he was awake! Pulling the Odd-Eyes card from his pocket, he was more scared when it was glowing.

"What's up, Odd-Eyes?" Yuya worriedly asked.

Yuzu's Bloom Choriste is being used, Odd-Eyes replied. Reiji said she and you shouldn't use the summoning methods at least until the Maiami Championship, right? Looks like she's sticking in a situation that she's forced to use it.

"I got it!"

Yuya yelled and quickly grabbed his coat was hanging on the wall and prepared to run to Yuzu's place. At that moment, his duel disk vibrated. It was Reiji's number.

"Yuya!" Reiji hurriedly said as soon as Yuya took his call. "Hurry up and ran to the small corner next to the supermarket near Yuzu's house. An Academia duelist appeared! Base on the elevated level of their summoning, there isn't any mistake."

"Then Yuzu is dueling that guy?" Yuya blurted, wearing the coat.

"You know?" Reiji was surprised.

"Yeah," Yuya replied. "Odd-Eyes just told me a certain part. I'm going to run to Yuzu now. Talk later."

Then not waiting for Reiji to talk more, Yuya disconnected the call and ran out of his home.

-o0o0o0o0o0-

"My turn!" Diana yelled and drew her card. "It's alright, let's finish here. I activate the quick spell, Moon's order. By releasing all Protector's Shield Token, I can destroy your cards equal to number of tokens, ignoring all effects protecting them."

"What!?" Yuzu paled. However, she couldn't do anything more watching all her cards disappearing from the field. She was hopeless.

"In the turn I use Moon's order, I can't attack," Diana shrugged. "But it isn't the problem. I activate its order effect. By banishing it from my graveyard, you will take 1000 damage points for each cards that it destroyed."

Yuzu sighed, putting her duel disk aside and calmly waited for the damage would hit her. She had no way to avoid it. But at least, she tried her best.

I'm sorry, Yuya...

[Yuzu's LP: 2000 - 0]

[Diana's LP: 4000]

[DIANA WIN]

-o0o0o0o0o0-

Yuya paled when saw an explosion at the place Reiji told him. Being scared, he couldn't see or think of anything. He only tried to run as fast as he could. He only had a wish, that was Yuzu would be safe.

However, when he arrived, he didn't saw Yuzu nor her opponent. He knelt down, his tears flowed unceasingly when he realized what it meant. Yuzu was taken away from him, her Dad and her family, after she promised she would stay with them and after he promised himself he would protect her by all costs. He could only blame himself because of not running to her sooner. If so, maybe he would have done something.

Yuya... his ace appeared in his small duel monster spirit form, trying to comfort him. I know how you're feeling. But please calm down. Academia won't certainly hurt Yuzu.

"You know nothing," Yuya mumbled, then yelled in his tears. "YUZU!"

Odd-Eyes sighed, staring at his master. It was his fault. If he had felt the power of the enemy sooner, maybe they would have saved Yuzu...

Suddenly, he noticed something was laying on the ground. It was a half of a card. Yuya, he tried to call. There is something near you.

Yuya wiped his tears and picked it up. His eyes widened as much as possible when realized what it was.

"Smile... world!?"

(TBC)
