"You're absolutely sure we need to work with the signers?" asked a man wearing a hood.

"Definitely, Yliaster is far more powerful than any of us realize." Rex said. "For now we work together, it's our best bet to unsure the plan works."

"Well, as much as I despise her, Akiza is still a skilled duelist." said a woman in the shadows.

"Alright, we should meet up with them soon." Kalin said. "The sooner we take out Yliaster the sooner we can send the signers to the Netherworld."

"You're right, ok let's go." the woman said.

"So let me see if I'm understanding this right." S. Jack said. "You two decided it would be a good idea for the twelve of us to meet the dark signers tonight in the Kaibadome."

"Yeah, I guarantee the dark signers won't double cross us, at least not for now." Yusei said. "Besides any help we can get is worth it."

"I hope you're right, otherwise Shadow Domino City is in a lot of trouble." S. Jack said.

"Yusei, I'm glad you're here, this makes things simple." Rex said calmly while walking up with the other dark signers.

"Hello Akiza." Misty said while taking off her hood.

"Misty, I promise we can have our duel after this is over." Akiza said.

"I know, but the thing is I've learned more than my counterpart did, and I know that Sayer is the one truly responsible for my brother's death, that's why I don't hold any personal grudge with you, well except for the fact that you're a signer." Misty explained.

"That's how it is for most of us, however we have unfinished business regarding the Spirit World little girl." said a man who decided to keep his hood on.

"We can deal with our individual issues after we deal with the pressing matter, we need to take down Yliaster, and so we need to know exactly who we're dealing with."

"I agree, well Kalin's already met Lester, he's one of the three emperors of Yliaster, and Primo's almost exactly like him, except he uses Wisel, a stronger Mekord." Luna said.

"Yeah, but Jakob's the real threat, Granel has the same attack points as his life points, so taking it down won't be easy." Crow said.

"Yeah, but the real problem is the other four." Akiza said. "Aporia, Antinomy, Paradox, and Zone."

"I take it they are a lot more powerful than the other three?" Rex asked.

"Yeah, Aporia is the real identity of Lester, Primo and Jakob, and he has a lot more skill than the three of them combined." Jack said.

"Antinomy is a skilled duelist, and he has two moves that are much more powerful than anything you've seen so far, accel synchro and delta accel synchro." Yusei said. "He can synchro summon during our turn, and bring out powerful monsters that rival any of your immortals."

"That's one of the cheapest things I've ever heard of." Misty said. "Tell me there's a catch."

"No, he's a master of synchro summoning, so our only chance is to outplay him." Jack said. "The thing is Paradox is even more dangerous."

"Yeah, he can summon powerful monsters without any trouble just by removing cards from his deck." Crow said. "I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that Truth Dragon."

"Truth Dragon, that's an interesting name for a card." Rex said. "Although I'm curious, what about Zone?"

"He's the leader of Yliaster, and he's almost unbeatable." Yusei said. "I nearly lost to him."

"Well clearly you won so he isn't unbeatable." Kalin said confidently.

"Kalin, Zone's monsters are powerful, they can't be destroyed and negate all damage, not to mention they all have a unique effect that deals varying amounts of damage to his opponent." Yusei said.

"In other words the only way to beat him is to keep him from summoning any of his monsters." Kalin said. "Sounds simple."

"It isn't look we need a plan." S. Crow said. "We haven't dealt with Yliaster so we let the others explain, but we need to figure out who can take down who."

"Well I would suggest we form groups of three, perhaps starting with the two Leo's and Grieger." Rex suggested. "The three of them use Machines, so they could compliment each other rather well."

"Right, in that case I'll go with Misty and Crow." S. Luna said. "We'll be able to adapt to each other's moves pretty quickly."

"In that case I'll partner with your respective counterparts." the hooded man said.

"I guess that leaves me to partner with the Jack twins, well this should be fun." Kalin said. "Just like old times right Jack."

"Sounds good, try not to freak out when you see what we've got in our decks." S. Jack said.

"That leaves me to partner with Akiza and the other Akiza." Carly said. "I guess that works."

"So we're working with you Goodwin, I'm not surprised, actually I was thinking that was our best option." S. Yusei said.

"That makes sense, now we just need to figure out where they are, the sooner we deal with Yliaster the better." Kalin said.

"I know where they are, the problem is they aren't in our time, or at least most of them aren't." Jack said. "Four of them are in the future, and they're planning to come to the past and destroy the city."

"Wait, if they're in the future how exactly can they cause any problems now?" Grieger asked.

"They can travel through time, that's how they caused so much trouble in our city." Crow said. "Lester, Primo, and Jakob are gathering energy so they can drop the future Shadow Domino City on top of this one."

"Well, that makes things a bit tougher." Rex said. "I suggest we try and find the three emperors, that way we might be able to get to the others with relatively little trouble."

"In that case I'll head out first, sound good you two?" Grieger asked the two Leos.

"No problem, let's take them down." S. Leo said.

(The signers and dark signers have worked out a plan, and are preparing to duel the first emperor of Ylaster. Next chapter the first team will start their duel, and Sayer will reappear. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
