A/N: It is important to read the author note at the end of this chapter as it explains what has been happening with regard to this story. This chapter is also shorter because I feel that I owe it to come out after two months of inactivity.

(Dreamscape) (Unknown Location)

A lone individual wondered the ruins of a futuristic city. He had on him only two possessions his duel disk strapped to his left arm and in his right hand was a sheening silver sword which functioned as the 'blade' of his disk, something he found quite amusing. However the situation was less than pleasant "It's my fault."

He knelt down in the rubble, "If only. If only." He was holding a busted frame in it was a photograph, it depicted a bright sunny day in the very same city. He was huffed off to the side while two teens one a boy with silver hair and green highlights and the other was a girl with maroon and dark red hair tied into long pigtails. Both were smiling happily the sliver haired boy held aloft a trophy.

"Times change, people change." He mumbled as he slid the photo out of the frame and kept it on his person as he set off for his goal.

"I've only got one shot at this." The spirit of a large twin tailed dragon came into being behind the boy 'You don't have to win you just have to distract Ray will do the rest.'

A large black and green dragon soon came into the picture "Somebody defeat me!" came the booming voice as the dragon rampaged destroying even more of the city.

"And he shall smite the wicked, and plunge them into the fiery pit!" The boy inserted the sword into his disk triggering its activation "I'm your opponent! One of the only two that can stand toe to toe with you!"

The scene changed to see two dragons, the black and green one and a new twin tailed blue and golden one fighting with each other.

"Now to bury you into the earth by my own hand! I attack you directly!"

Unknown (? – 0)

The teen may have been downed but he sure as hell wasn't going to let it end like this "Trap card activate! Revenge of the fallen! I revive one monster from my grave and as long as it stays on the field I can't lose even if my life points hit zero!"

"What's that supposed to accomplish! I'll crush you in the next turn!" The revived dragon laughed this off "You understand nothing about tactical defeat! You've expended your resources and now phase two of my master stroke comes into effect." The dragon restricted his opposing number "Do it! RAY!"

The girl from the photo ran onto the scene with her father trailing far behind, she activated her disk incurring an intrusion penalty but this didn't matter she quickly activated four spell cards.

"You wench!" The demonic dragon growled in pain at the girl revealing a face which bore a remarkable resemblance to Yuya and Yuri, the restraining dragon was too in pain from the cards, his face was too revealed his resembling Demil and Yali with black markings similar to Janus' veins as well "It's over Z you've been beaten."

"You idiot K! You do realize you'll suffer the same fate as me?!"

"All three of us are going down it's a price both Ray and I are willing to pay," the person simply referred to as K began to chant "Zkhq wkh zkhhov ri idwh vwduw wr wxuq l lqyrnh wkh dqflhqw srzhu wkdw l pdb uhwxuq!"

"We will become one!" Was the last utterance coming from the black and green dragon before the three of them split off into four silhouettes then began shooting off in multiple directions.

The scene turned to black.

(Reality in Standard dimension)

Both Yuri and Demil awoke at the same time panting.

"What was that?" Both thought at the same time eyeing each other with suspicion.

"Why did that guy look like Demil and why does it feel like I know him from somewhere?" Yuri thought placing a figure on his lips.

"What are you hiding Yuri? You're clearly not who you say you are, that much is obvious but why does it feel like I'm perpetually tied to you, like I'm some sort of guardian." Demil's suspicion of Yuri continued to rise until Yoko's voice from downstairs broke the tension.

"Boys! Breakfast!"

Demil and Yuri snapped out of their trance like state, awkwardness replaced the tension in the room.

"So you wanna…Y'know…" Demil nodded his head to the door.

"Yes."

(Outside)

"That's one weird dream Yuri," Yuzu walked slowly beside a slouching Yuri "any idea what may have caused it." She asked cautiously, not wanting to rattle Yuri too much

"No I haven't got the slightest inclination of what may have triggered it, the weirdest part was that it felt like a memory as if it already happened before…" Yuri eyes darted quickly behind him to see Demil seemingly observing his every solitary movement with his blood shot eyes.

'Make one wrong move…' Demil thought not taking his gaze off Yuri for even a single second 'I'll do something even worse than last time.' The face he was making was a clear indication of how he felt, a mixture of anger and curiosity. The blend of his past and present self

Yuzu nudged Yuri slightly then whispered in his ear "What's with Demil…He looks even more annoyed than usual." Yuri sighed not wanting to divulge that not only did he see a person whose face Demil shared but only a person with Yuzu's face as well, he thought that him arriving here randomly one day was going to be the weirdest thing that ever happened to him. Apparently not…

"He probably just slept poorly." Yuri stated lying through his teeth whilst simultaneously plastering a fake smile on his face "Yuzu my dear, you do know that he spends the night completely passed out on the back of a chair in my room with his jacket over his face." Yuri looked towards Demil again who was busy writing something down before turning back round to Yuzu "If you ask me it's a miracle that he doesn't have back problems!"

"I heard that!" Demil shouted as loud as his lungs would let him while also proceeding to shoot Yuri the two fingered salute causing the person in question to laugh at his childish behaviour.

Meanwhile in the skies above a private jet flew seamlessly through the clouds. The jet contained a pale skinned woman with purple hair wearing a long red dress who was looking at a tablet, on it was information regarding LDS progress throughout the world "We will be landing shortly in Maiami city." The pilot's voice came through the PA system as the woman prepared herself for the landing. Later on she was in a white stretch limo with Nakajima "Congratulations on the recent company merger Madame Chairwoman."

"Thank you very much Nakajima, but this is merely a step in the greater scheme to make LDS present in every part of the globe, to raise strong duelists is mine and Reiji's plan." Nakajima fixed his glasses "I believe the president will be pleased with your successful purchase but…" The chairwoman narrowed her eyes "But?"

"If I am completely honest I restrain myself from mentioning them to you during the negotiation process, during your absence there were a number of incidents." Nakajima said worrying the chairwoman "Incidents?"

"Welcome back, Mother" Reiji said to the chairwoman who turned out to be his mother. "Reiji I want to speak to about this new summoning method, 'Pendulum' was it called?" Reiji gestured for his mother to take a seat as he started up a video "We already knew of three different types of special summoning methods Xyz, Synchro and fusion but now a new one called pendulum that has appeared fairly recently."

The video showed footage of Yuri's duel with Sawatari and his duel with Strong Ishijima "It involves the use of two pendulum cards to set the pendulum scale as it's called, the user then can summon as many high level monsters as they want so long as the level fits within the scale."

The chairwoman noticed Yuri's disk and her eyes widened "This person's disk, He's the son of him as well…" Reiji fixed his glasses "We're still not entirely sure how this method came into being but currently there is a good enough possession of understanding of the summoning and we are currently developing our own prototypes." Reiji's look turned deadly serious "The main problem being as you pointed out, the duelist."

"His name is Yuri and he is the adopted son of Yusho Sakaki, currently enrolled in an inner city duel school, he is at the moment in the junior youth class and has a mediocre win/loss rate at 56.5%." Reiji's mother while slightly scared wasn't too concerned "56.5% and he's still in junior youth class. Is there anything else?"

"Yes. He is also capable of performing fusion summons strong enough to set off our sensors."

"Fusion. He's the son of Yusho as well could it be that he has betrayed us and joined the enemy?"

"No it's unlikely as he had taken care of Yuri before what happened three years ago but it is still a distinct possibility. On the topic of different dimensions a member of the Sawatari family was attacked last night by a duelist whose Xyz summon was powerful enough to set off our sensors." This caused Reiji's mother to gasp "Is everything ready for the attack?" She questioned "I'm still in the selection process for the lancers but I think I'm onto some big details here." Reiji presented his mother with Yali's black notebook, several pages of the book had been torn out for analysis "This book was taken from a boy assumed to be an Academia student sent to scout out our dimension however there is a slight problem,' Reiji open the book which was laced with indiscernible ciphers and cryptograms "the entire book is encoded and we can't find out how to crack it."

"Where is the boy now?" Reiji's mother asked her son curiously, Reiji leant back "He was just discharged from hospital the other day, I don't know his current whereabouts and there is another strange thing about him as well mother."

"What would that be Reiji?"

"Do you remember being here when Demil Kaimia first appeared to us?"

"Kaimia. I do. Why?"

"This boy whom I believe to be called Yali shares the same face as Demil."

"He's dangerous Reiji. What do you plan on doing?"

"Like I said a member of the Sawatari family was attacked last night and so we'll go from there."

"It was Yuri Sakaki I tell you!" Sawatari said from his hospital bed "I saw him with my own two eyes!" Sawatari shouted vehemently while thrashing up and down banging his right arm repeatedly on the bed causing his friends who were with him to be concerned "Sawatari clam down please! You're going to injure yourself even more!"

After successfully managing to calm him down, Sawatari's underlings went to talk only to be interrupted by their boss, "You saw him too didn't you!?" He shouted aggressively at the three of them "Of course we did!" They all said simultaneously.

"That's right!" It was then a short fat man in a brown suit burst into the room in a flurry "There is absolutely no reason why we should let this heinous act go unpunished! Especially since it was towards my noble son!" The man now revealed to be Sawatari's father proceeded to magically pull a megaphone out of nowhere and pushed the window open "This is to all of you who don't consider me their mayor! I will not allow events like this to hinder me in the slightest!"

"In order to resolve..!" The three goons sighed and spoke to each other quietly "Hey. Sawatari's lied about his injures hasn't he?" One said "Yeah and I can't believe his father hasn't noticed?" Another said just as Sawatari's father returned to his bedside crying almost comical amount of tears "Don't worry about it son! Papa's going to avenge you!"

"My, my there is no need to get so worked up." Reiji's mother walked through the door holding a bouquet of flowers. Sawatari's father immediately ceased his crying "Ch-Chairwoman Akaba…" He stuttered "When did you get back?" She laughed slightly before speaking "Oh. Just recently and when I heard the news about your son I rushed here as quickly as I could."

"Thank you chairwoman…" Sawatari's father took the flowers graciously "How could I not when I heard that you who will be supporting us in Maiami from now on had one of his family members assaulted it just isn't possible for me to ignore it."

"My sentiments exactly chairwoman we must hurry and notify the police to the assailant's whereabouts." Sawatari's father took out his phone and was just about to call the police when he was stopped "Oh we shouldn't do that right away it's a very important time for you as a candidate, if word got out about this it would cause all sorts of problems." He relented

"Leave all the rest to me."

(You Show)

Yuri, Yuzu, Demil and the others were currently in the middle of a class. Yuri along with Sora was rather disinterested in the lesson that was being taught. Demil was only there because it was the only place he could go without getting arrested for some random reason. Safe to say being handcuffed to desks multiple times has had an adverse effect on his development, currently he was standing in the back of the class writing away. "Today class we will go over the many basic forms of summoning!" Shuzo exclaimed loudly.

"First! Is the normal summon! Now this is the most common form of summoning you will come across where you summon the monster in face up attack position. The next type of summon is the advance or tribute summon!" He then pointed towards Tatsuya who was probably the only one paying attention "Tatsuya! Would you care to explain it?!"

"Certainly!" The young boy said as he stood up "Advance or tribute summoning is another summoning method from your hand. For example if you want to summon a level five or level six monster you must release one monster already on your field and for a level seven or higher monster you must release two monsters instead of one!"

"That is correct! Well done you've clearly been studying!" Shuzo said however Yuzu had long tuned out of the class, focusing mainly on her experience with Yuto in the warehouse the previous day 'Just who exactly was that at the warehouse. His dragon was so powerful. Maybe it was Yuya after all he has been gone seven years…' With that Yuzu was lost in her own world.

Yuri looked over to Yuzu with concern evident on his face, having been her childhood friend for seven years Yuri was quite adept at picking up on changes in her tone and facial expressions he knew that she was indeed distracted and he too lapsed into thought 'What could Yuzu have possibly seen that would cause her to act this way…' Yuri could see the worry slowing cementing itself onto Yuzu's face. During the walk back from the warehouse He had asked her what had happened but all he got was that everything was okay and that there was really nothing to worry wasn't Yuzu's strong point and here it was basking in the limelight for everyone to see.

"Next is Fusion!" Shuzo then pointed towards Sora who wasn't paying the slightest bit of attention, being too busy playing with his food and finding new concoctions. That ranged in taste from God awful to at least my stomach is accepting it as edible."Sora!" Shuzo shouted at the boy "What are you doing eating in class!"

"What about Xyz summoning dad?" Yuzu asked suddenly catching everyone utterly off guard "What do you mean Yuzu?" He asked back by now both Demil and Yuri were focusing in on the conversation with Xyz clearly being the main vocal point of what happened in the warehouse the day prior. Yuzu was stood up, nervous for a second and looked around the room before returning to speaking.

"I mean do we have any way of learning Xyz at this school." She explained her thoughts once again turning to Yuto and Dark Rebellion.

"I don't believe we teach Xyz here. Unless…." Shuzo explained with a cautious tone whilst he looked at Demil who in turn shook his as while he had a basic understanding of the method he didn't know how to actually pull it off. "Sorry Yuzu. But if I may ask why are you mentioning it all of a sudden?"

Yuzu resigned herself back down to her seat "No reason…" She muttered causing Yuri to squirm in his seat and Demil to wince faintly, the final result was a great deal of discomfort for the two of them, just what exactly had happened? Both of them were certain now that the warehouse incident was somehow linked to Xyz summoning

"Ambushed?!" Came Gongenzaka's gruff voice from outside the class, kick starting the cogs back into motion "What do you mean Yuri attacked someone?!"

'What's Gongenzaka doing here?' Yuri thought "What's this about me attacking someone?" Yuri let slip however no one really seemed to care on his slip of the tongue as they all went out to see what all the commotion was about.

Gongenzaka was indeed outside giving Sawatari's three underlings an earful and a half "The man Gongenzaka wants the truth and you better tell it or else!" Yuri approached followed by Yuzu then Demil finally Sora and the three kids.

"What's going on here Gong?" Yuri asked looking up towards the taller bulky male, "Yuri! Gong here was doing some duel sprints when he spotted a couple of shady characters loitering near You Show." He explained "Gong then confronted them but they were too afraid to tell Gong the truth."

"Have you got anything of worth out of them yet?" Demil asked feigning interest on the situation.

Gongenzaka nodded resolutely "All Gong has found out is that apparently Yuri attacked and injured Sawatari badly during his second duel with h-."

"Sorry?" Yuri said raising his hand whilst he tried to wrap his head around this confusing situation, "I didn't have a second duel with that lamb and if I didn't duel him there is no possible way I could've injured him." The You Show crowd and Demil all seemed to accept this story, all bar Yuzu who was still having trouble processing the majority of the oncoming information.

"Don't lie! It was you that came into the warehouse!" One of the goons shouted proceeding to point his finger at the accused party "Along with your associate over there!" Another one said lifting his finger towards Demil causing him to raise his eyebrow in suspicion, something Yuri did too.

'So Demil has somebody that looks like him as well, that does explain how I saw that person in my dream…' Yuri thought as it became Demil's attempt to reason with accusers "Let me ask you a question. Did this person have two working eyes?" To the You Show bunch it was clear what Demil was trying to do however the three stooges didn't quite figure that important detail out.

"That's a stupid question! Of course he did!" All three said at once failing to notice Demil's smug laugh as he reach for the hair over his right eye. "Well that is such a shame because you see…" He pulled away the hair and tidied it behind his ear for the time being. Suffice to say the three lemmings were shocked to see Demil's battered right eye "I've only got the one so your argument unfortunately does not hold any water!" While everyone at You Show knew that he only had one eye, it was still a shock to their system to witness the damage that had been dealt.

It made everyone in the corridor feel queasy and uncomfortable. 'That's disgusting!' everyone collectively thought, Yuri and Sawatari's gang being the most vocal in their inward opinions.

The goons cast away the shock of seeing Demil's eye, re-focusing their attention back on the target they actually had any form of evidence against be it solid or not. "That doesn't change the fact that it was Yuri Sakaki who attacked Sawatari! The three of us all saw you! So did her as well…" One of the goons pointed to the still worried Yuzu who just shook her head in outright denial.

"Come on Yuzu…Don't lie…" The creepy almost perverted smiles did absolutely nothing to dispel Yuzu's worry.

"Gong thinks they are crazy and are just making all of this up…" Gongenzaka said defiantly, "Or are they…" said Shuzo beginning to question Yuzu, she had been acting weird for a while now, this train of thought was cemented back when she asked how to Xyz summon out of the blue. "Making what up exactly?"

"That Yuri attacked him." Demil said making his way to directly face the three stooges "It's very clear that the person you saw wasn't me and another thing that I didn't mention was that I was actually with Yuri the whole time so figure that out…" He made his way back to his position on the wall as Ayu began to speak up "Yeah! Yuzu and I even heard that Sawatari was the one planning to attack Yuri in the first place!"

It was now evident to even an idiot that Sawatari's friends had been rumbled on multiple occasions making the fact they even continued painful "I don't know what you are talking about little girl!" The main goon etched out.

Ayu seemed to be having a burst of courage, nothing was going to seemingly stop her "You know perfectly well! It is exactly like big bro Demil said!" That caught the blue haired boy's attention, it gave him a foreign feeling as he paid closer attention to what Ayu had to say "Yuzu and I were walking back with some Ice cream when he heard that Sawatari was going to harm Yuri, so Yuzu went off to face Sawatari and when I came back Yuri and Demil were still here so it couldn't have been them!"

"Wait let me get this straight," Shuzo butted into the conservation "Yuzu went to confront Sawatari. So that must mean Yuzu is the culprit!" With his realisation came a cacophony of groans for his thick skull.

"Wow…If that's the teacher, the students here must be dumber than dishwater!"

"Now back on topic, the only person that could've attacked Sawatari was Yuri…" One started "Now poor Sawatari is in hospital…" The second one continued. "Hospital?" Yuri said cold, calculating and uncaring while the final goon made a dramatic pose before feigning tears "They said that he may have life threatening injures!"

However if were in said person's hospital room you would see that it was indeed not the case.

"If something happens to him you two will be held responsible and charged with assault!" Yuri wasn't the slightest bit interested whereas Demil looked to be having flashbacks to his frequent arrests. "Yuzu you believe me don't you?" Yuri said expecting one response but getting a far different one "Yuri I-I- don't know…"

"Unbelievable…Totally unbelievable!" Yuri said glaring daggers at Yuzu "You have irrefutable evidence that I was here! Yet you still can't make up your mind!" He snapped with a venom laced voice. Yuzu wanted so badly to believe her emotions that told her that it wasn't Yuri or Yuya that attacked Sawatari but what she saw prevented her mind from giving her a clear cut answer.

Yuzu really didn't want to upset Yuri, having gone through so much with Yuya's disappearance the last thing that she wanted was to upset his replacement with whom she had developed feelings for.

This scene reminded Demil of a poem he had created when younger. Poetry being one of his lesser known habits and by lesser known, he never talked to anyone about it.

'Blinded by rage one doesn't observe instead impulse thunders down.

One sees the other doesn't, see what I see, feel what I feel, save as I save.

The cloudy mind is worn by these people as if it were a crown.

They must think clearly or else the consequence will be grave.

Entrapped in an airtight cage scurrying like rats fleeing a sinking ship,

Rage pollutes the mind as if it were a mere blip.

One sees the other unfortunately does not, see what I see, feel what I feel, save as I save…'

He replayed it over and over again in his mind as Yuri conversed with Yuzu again "Don't tell me you actually believe the drivel these lot are spewing!" It was evident the immense level of dissatisfaction and anger Yuri felt. "Yuri…" Yuzu was on the verge of crying but told herself to stay strong in the face of adversity, she could only see Yuto when looking at Yuri and Janus when looking at Demil.

"You two are going to prison when the cops get here!" Demil began to breathe heavily and rapidly catching the eye of the kids who began to worry over their newfound brother figure. Ayu began to tug at his trouser legging "Big bro Demil are you okay?" He was still breathing heavily as he answered "Yeah…I'm…Fine." He etched out haggardly breathing while placing his head in his hands.

"Right!" Shuzo said dispelling the tension ever so slightly "Take this from the top again!" Cue multiple sighs and groans whilst Reiji's mother appeared into the picture "Let me explain it for you if you are so dense." She said entering the corridor "You're LDS…" Shuzo growled. "Yes, I am the current chairwoman of LDS my name is Himika Akaba." She said with a slightly smug tone. Her gaze met Yuri square on startling her somewhat 'There he is…My next move is vital…' Next she saw the still hyperventilating Demil 'Kaimia's here too…'

Outside was Nakajima who was talking to Sawatari's underlings "The chairwoman and I appreciate your work so here is your payment of rare cards." He handed the three of them envelopes as he sent them on their way while inside Himika was talking carefully observing Yuri and Demil "Everything those three said was the truth. The fact of the matter is that one of our LDS students one Shingo Sawatari was attacked which if conjoined with his witness statement the only conclusion one can come to is that Yuri Sakaki was the main culprit while Demil Kaimia was an accomplice of the crime!" Shuzo quickly turned to Yuri and Demil "Well Yuri, Demil is this true?"

"No way! The fact you even think that annoys me!" While Yuri ranted, Demil didn't answer despite having calmed down with the help of the three kids he still wasn't in any to comment.

"Gong believes his friend Yuri despite his less than stellar qualities!" Gongenzaka said looking at the kids not noticing the glare Yuri was giving him "That goes for the three of you as well doesn't it?" The three kids nodded, "And you too Yuzu?" Yuzu looked at Gongenzaka then looked down at the ground for a few seconds finally she turned to Yuri "Yuri that wasn't you back there was it?" Yuri while slightly heartened was still annoyed "Yuzu. I'm going to make this very clear I didn't attack that runt. I have no clue what you saw there but it was not me." Yuzu was still confused but smiled towards Yuri now believing him to be telling the truth "I've got it now Yuri I believe you." Yuri breathed a sigh of relief, finally having got through to Yuzu he felt happier now that she believed him.

"Oh my what a very strong bond all of you share!" Himika said ruining the moment "It seems that it would be impossible for me to ask you to hand both Yuri and Mr Kaimia over." She said "But we can't back down now. If word gets out that a student from the number one duel school in the world lost in a duel it would do immeasurable damage to our reputation."

"But Yuri and Demil didn't d-." Shuzo started to say before he was interrupted "That is no longer relevant!" Himika yelled with fury "The issue now is that the image of LDS has been dragged through the mud, there is only one possible way to cleanse this stain off of our honour!" The thought of what she wanted to do immediately entered Shuzo's mind "Duelling…" This idea shocked the You Show crowd while Sora grinned at the thought to show his strength

"If your party wins we will forget the incident with Sawatari and call off the charges held against your school but if we win You Show will become a subsidiary of LDS!" Yuri glared coldly at Himika who was silently terrified of what he could possibly do "If you think I'm going to allow that to happen you're dead wrong." He said coolly hiding his rage at the mere thought that this woman would come in and just steamroller the legacy his father had left behind for him to fulfil.

"Chairwoman Akaba I have heard that you've been acquiring many duel school recently and that You Show is now the next in line." Shuzo said however all Himika did was smile whilst keeping her eyes on Demil and Yuri "Don't tell me that you set up the attack on Sawatari just so you could take over our school!"

"That is not the case but when I heard that I had the opportunity to gain Pendulum for LDS to add to the three pillars we already have, I couldn't help but seize the opportunity." Himika said explain her superficial reasoning "I think that you haven't quite grasped the concept of what an amazing opportunity you have been given here principal Hiiragi."

"By making use of the better facilities available at LDS we will be able to make Pendulum summoning a worldwide phenomenon, we'll have people lining up who aspire to use pendulum just like Yuri here." She said condescendingly, turning to the three kids who were still by Demil "That goes for you three too…" She was met by glares from them "No way! Anyway you don't even have any pendulum cards, Yuri is the only one with them."

Himika smirked knowingly "Well that can easily be resolved when the power of our corporation is put to full use in production. That is why it is of vital importance that we unite as soon as possible!" She said with a certain vigour about her, 'Also it'll give me a chance to find out whether Yuri is friend or foe same goes for Kaimia when we place him back under arrest…'

"There is absolutely no way I'm going to allow you take Pendulum or my father's school." Yuri said grasping Yuya's pendant around his neck. "I'm going to fight to the last for this school and I'm confident everyone here would agree to that." Gongenzaka placed his hand firmly Yuri's shoulder "Well said Yuri! Gong will definitely help in the defence of You Show!"

"But you're not a student though." Sora said from where he was sitting causing Gongenzaka to freeze up "If it's only students that are fighting these lot, why shouldn't it just be Yuri, Yuzu and I. Isn't that correct?"

"To think you would exclude a man such as myself is unforgiveable." Himika chose to ignore this "It seems that your students' feelings are all one in the same." 'Well except for one…' She thought looking towards Demil who was now on the verge of an actual mental breakdown. He was completely slumped against the back of the wall and to avoid people seeing his face his jacket was covering it, 'That Kaimia is a ticking time bomb, and it's only a matter of time now.'

"Well then let the games begin." Himika said as three students, two boys and one girl appeared next to her. "We'll duel with the best of three rule, first one to two victories wins simple as." Sora grinned as he made his way to face Himika "I'll go first!" He was however pulled back by Yuzu as Yuri stepped up "I'm going first."

"Fine by me." Himika said "After all those others are unreliable so I suppose it's for the best if you want to end this quickly." Sora was offended massively by this "What are you talking about hag! Just you wait! I'll show you my strength!" He was pulled back again by Yuzu "Now that's enough out of you!" She scolded him harshly.

The first LDS student came forward "It's is in your best interest if you don't think about winning each of the students here are the top grade in their respective summoning methods and the one you'll be facing Yuri is none other than…" The boy question spoke "I'm Hokuto Shijima of LDS' Xyz summoning course."

"Xyz…" Yuzu said as she clasped her hands together, the word reverberating in her mind causing her to once again think about Dark Rebellion and Yuto. "You better watch out Yuri…" Tatsuya said after searching Hokuto up online "His record is that out of the fifty eight duels he has participated in he has won fifty three. That's a ninety one percent win ratio!"

Futoshi spoke up next "He has top scores in junior class rank testing." Ayu was the only one who noticed Demil's impending breakdown but still spoke up about Hokuto "Forget his test scores I hear that he is the favourite for this year's championship!"

"Favourite or not I'm going to beat you," Yuri said facing his opposite number in the duel arena "after all it isn't going to be hard when you using an inferior form of summoning!" Yuri teased causing Hokuto to fly into a fit of rage "What's that supposed to mean!" Yuri smiled smugly "Oh nothing much…"

"Our students are trained to handle any conceivable situation so the choice of action field is up to." Himika said to Shuzo "Anything you say…" He then carefully selected the field "Action field Cosmic Sanctuary on!" The field transformed into a starlight background with ruins on top of floating chunks of rock "Use the power of the stars to fight Yuri!" Hokuto looked around for a bit before bursting into a fit of unrestrained laughter "Of all the fields you could've chosen you pick the one that suits me best!" All of the You Show crowd sighed heavily except for Shuzo who was petrified "What!"

'To borrow language from Demil, you mong Principal…' Yuri thought "It doesn't matter if it is the field you're the most comfortable on I'll still wipe the floor with you and your pitiful Xyz skills!" Yuri activated his disk as Hokuto did the same soon the action duel chant was started.

"Duelists locked in battle!"

"Kicking the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters!"

"They storm through this field! Behold!"

"This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling! ACTION…"

"DUEL!"

A/N: My God it's been a while!

Right this chapter is finally heading out after an extended period of inactivity. There are three reasons for why it took so long.

I was immensely unsatisfied with previous drafts of this chapter causing me to re write it. This is rewrite ten. Previous drafts didn't even deal with the LDS event and had a different storyline all together.

I'm going through a lot of work at the minute so I had very little time to actually write this

Something I neglected to mention was that I was having some family issues over the past two months, my mum was diagnosed with a certain illness. beginning with the letter C. That while it is treatable it took a toll on me for a bit so I lost even more enthusiasm.

Now on a less somber note. I would expect to have to wait another month or so before another chapter comes out.

See you there. (Hopefully)
