A lot of you readers gave your own suggestions after the last chapter, and the most mentioned was Bruno/Antinomy, followed by Carly and Kiryu.
Bruno/Antinomy was a really cool character, and he played an important role in 5Ds, just like the other two.

Turn 11:
Crossing Dimensions is no fun!
"What is this place?"
I asked no one as I analyzed my surroundings. It seems I appeared on some sort of highway, skyscrapers which seemed to touch the clear sky were all around me while. As I looked what was under the highway, I was meet with several buildings, all in horrible states.
Then I noticed something else: I'm alone.
"'I've had my company's best man invent this transporter. The chances of that happening are very slim,' is what he said," I grumbled, trying to mimic Reiji's voice. "When I'll see him again, I'm going to punch him in the face!"
I sighed loudly, trying to calm myself.
"Stay calm and think positively," I calmly said. "All I need to do is call Reiji. It can't be that hard to regroup, right?"
[No Signal. Please try again later.]
"Eh?"
I slowly pressed the 'Call' button on my Duel Disk for the second time.
[No Signal. Please try again later.]
"ARE YOU FLIPPING SERIOUS!" I roared, my remaining composure vanishing. "Why don't I have signal!?"
"Maybe because you're in a different dimension?" Spectrum chuckled, enjoying my snapping.
"What? That doesn't even make sense!?"
"Why? Talking to the spirit of a children's card game makes sense?"
"Hmph, touché," I admitted with another sigh. "What do we do now?"
Before we could've exchanged another word, a loud siren caught my attention. A man wearing officer-looking clothes, sunglasses, and riding a motorcycle stopped some meters away from me.
"Freeze at once!" the officer yelled at me. "This is Security speaking. Come with me, or I'll have to resort to using brute force!"
"Um, sorry but I got lost," I explained.
"No person is allowed to stand here!" the officer stated, not bothering to listen to me. "For this transgression, you're under arrest."
"Hold up!" I shouted. "I said I got lost! I don't know how, but I got up here by accident!"
"Law isn't decided by the Commons!" the officer told. "I'll repeat myself for the last time: come with me peacefully, or I'll resort to using brute force!"
"This is like talking to an Academia soldier and saying I'm not a traitor," I sighed in exasperation, raising my Duel Disk. "I have no other choice but to Duel."
At that moment, a very loud motor engine echoed in the distance. I turned around to see a new motorcycle dashing towards us. It was elongated at the front, with the front-wheel sticking out from under the hood, while the back wheel was close to the driver and a passenger's seat, both black in color. The Runner's color was a sleek white and an emblem that appeared to be a black and white circle with a "V" in the center, while the right and left of an "A" made up the sides of the circle.
"You, riding that D-Wheel, stop!" the officer cried out through a microphone. "You can't ride D-Wheels on this highway!"
"D...Wheel?" I parroted. Then this WAS the Synchro Dimension!
The mysterious driver increased their speed to the officer's words.
"Didn't you hear me!?" the officer called out.
Before the D-Wheel could dash past us, the driver extended their right arm, catching me and dragging me along.
"WHAT THE-!"
They threw me on the D-Wheel's back where a passenger seat was. We could barely hear the officers words as we drove away.
"Are you alright?" the masked person asked me, revealing their male voice.
"Y-Yeah..." I muttered, trying to recover from the earlier surprise.
"You're quite the brave fellow," he laughed, looking at the road ahead. "It's not every day you see a Common kid trying to reason with a Security Officer, even challenging them to a Duel."
"Common?" I asked confused.
"Aren't you a Common?" the person inquired. "If you were a Topsider then the officer would've obviously treated you differently."
"N-No, I'm a Common..." I quickly lied. "You?"
"Common," he stated. "The name's Ren. Happy to make your acquaintances."
"I'm Vince," I explained. "W-Where are we going?"
"As far as possible from Security," Ren laughed. "Or why? You want to be caught and go to the Facility? If so, I can stop and plant you down right here."
"No, no, thanks," I immediately say, causing Ren to chuckle.
Okay, this is getting out of hand. I came to this Dimension, and within a minute I'm already under arrest, but a strange person who I never saw in my life rescued me.
Must be Anime logic.
The familiar sound of sirens behind us caught my attention. I looked behind and saw the same officer already on our tail.
"Hmph, they're faster than I expected," Ren mused unfazed. "Grab on tight."
I did so, and Ren immediately sped faster. Even then, the officer still managed to catch up.
"You can't escape!" the officer shouted as he pressed a button on his D-Wheel's monitor, a Duel Disk's energy blade activating on his bike.
[Speed World Neo, activated. Duel Mode on. Auto-pilot, stand-by.]
An energy blade activated in front of Ren as the words appeared on his bike's monitor.
"It seems I've been forced to Duel," Ren commented. "If they catch us, we'll surely be arrested."
[A Duel has been commenced.]
Hexagonal pillars emerge from the ground across the city. The pillars then splayed out into road sections which sprout side-shoulders and Solid Vision bars. Ren and the officer drove onto the newly formed road.
"Vince, was it? Hope you're going to enjoy my Riding Dueling."
"Riding Duel!?" I cried out. Now I was sure this place was the Synchro Dimension.
Ren and the officer continued to ride down the new road, and the two turned around an incoming corner. Before it could escape my notice, Ren slightly decreased his speed, letting the officer turn the corner first.
"Riding Duel: Acceleration!" the two cried out.
Ren - LP 4000
VS
Officer - LP 4000
"I turned the corner first, so I'll take the first turn!" the officer declared. "My turn! I activate the Spell Card One for One, sending the Monster Card, Devil Patroller (Dark/Fiend/Effect/ATK: 1400/DEF: 0/LV: 4), from my hand to the Graveyard and Special Summon the Tuner Monster, Stygian Security (Dark/Fiend/Tuner/Effect/ATK: 100/LV: 1) from my hand!"
A little demon holding a microphone and having a siren on its head appeared.
"Next, I normal summon Assault Gundog (Earth/Beast/Effect/ATK: 1200/LV: 4) from my hand!"
Following the officer's words, a hound wearing armor and a gun attached to its back appeared.
"Now I tune my Level 4 Assault Gundog with my Level 1 Stygian Security!" the little demon turned into a glowing ring, surrounding the hound and morphing it into four glowing orbs.
"The guardian of the sacred peace, become the Security's iron wall! Synchro Summon! Behold, Level 5! Goyo Gardna (Earth/Warrior/Synchro/Effect/ATK: 500/DEF: 2000/LV: 5) in defense position!"
A monster resembling Goyo Guardian, but holding two giant shields in its hands appeared.
"A Synchro Summon on the first turn," I whispered.
"I activate Goyo Gardna's effect!" the officer stated. "Once per turn, I can target a "Goyo" monster I control with 1000 or less Attack, and you're inflicted damage equal to the targeted monster's Attack. I target Goyo Gardna itself, dealing you 500 damage!"
The monster clashed its shields, creating loud soundwaves which hit Ren and his D-Wheel.
Ren: LP 4000 - 500 = 3500
"I set a card face-down and end my turn!" the officer concluded.
On cue, a helicopter appeared above us, with a young woman wearing a cowboy outfit and a camera-man filming her inside.
"Good morning to everybody in the City!" the woman exclaimed. "Top reporter from the Top City TV, Melissa Claire speaking! Believe or not, this morning we have yet another Riding Duel! Following last night's Riding Duel, another pair of fugitives are running from a Duel Chaser. Let's see how this plays out!"
"What the heck?" I asked confused. "I thought they were reinforcements."
"Unwanted attention is what they are," Ren corrected me.
"Our Duel Chaser took the first turn and drawn first blood," Melissa recapped. "It's the fugitive's turn now!"
"My turn!" Ren announced. "Draw! First, I normal summon White Fish (Water/Fish/Effect/ATK: 500/DEF: 500/LV: 2) from my hand! Then I activate its effect: by tributing this monster, I can add two more White Fishes from my deck to my hand!"
A white colored fish with two fins formed on Ren's field before bursting into particles of light. Two cards ejected from his deck which he added to his hand.
"Next I activate White Portal!" Ren stated. "This Spell Card enables me to Special Summon up to three copies of the same "White" monster in my hand; I choose to Special Summon the two White Fishes I added to my hand!"
Two new fishes appeared on the field.
"White Portal's effect doesn't end there!" Ren revealed. "A monster Special Summoned by this effect is treated as a Tuner! I tune my Level 2 White Fish with my other White Fish!"
"Great predator slumbering in the abyss, let your gluttony awaken you! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Level 4! White Aura Piranha (Water/Fish/Synchro/Effect/ATK: 1300/DEF: 600/LV: 4)!"
A white colored piranha appeared, its eyes glowing blood red as it bit furiously at an invisible prey.
"The fugitive has Synchro Summoned as well!" Melissa shouted. "However, this monster doesn't have enough Attack to oppose Goyo Gardna!"
"Battle!" Ren cried out, throwing his arm to the side. "White Aura Piranha attacks Goyo Gardna! At this moment, I activate its Monster Effect! When Piranha battles an enemy monster with more Attack or Defense than Piranha's original Attack, I can double its Attack until the end of Damage Calculation (ATK: 1300 = 2600)! Go, Predator's Fury!"
The piranha swam across the field with great speed, using its fangs to pierce through Gardna's shield, destroying the monster.
"Goyo Gardna's effect activates!" the officer stated. "When destroyed, I can draw a card!"
"With the battle's end, Piranha's effect ends too (ATK: 2600 = 1300)," Ren told. "But don't think you're safe yet! Piranha's other effect activates! Once per Duel, when this monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle, I can send another White Aura Piranha from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard and permit my monster to attack yet again!"
"What!?" the officer gasped shocked.
So that's why Ren decreased his acceleration before taking the corner. He did it so the officer would take the first turn, and Ren after that can use this combo to deal major damage.
"Battle!" Ren cried out. "Do it for the second time, White Aura Piranha. Attack with Predator's Fury!"
The piranha gave a loud cry as it rammed itself into the officer, making the latter lose control over his D-Wheel for a second.
Officer: LP 4000 - 1300 = 2700
"The fugitive takes a great lead!" Melissa exclaimed. "Now he has an advantage in both field and Life Points! Just how will this Duel play out!?"
"I set two cards face-down and end my turn!" Ren concluded.
It seems Ren's deck focuses on using a series of effects to quickly gather Synchro Materials to Synchro Summon "White" Monsters. An interesting deck.
"My turn!" the officer shouted. "Draw! I activate the effect of Devil Patroller in the Graveyard, banishing it to Special Summon a Level 2 or lower Tuner Monster from the Graveyard. Come forth, Stygian Security (ATK: 100/LV: 1)! Then I activate my set card, Lost Star Descent, letting me Special Summon Goyo Gardna from the Graveyard!"
A portal opened above the officer as two of his monsters emerged.
"However, Goyo Gardna has its effects negated, Defense lowered to zero, it can't change its battle position, and its Level is reduced by one (DEF: 2000 = 0; LV: 5 = 4)," he explained. "Now I tune my Level 4 Goyo Gardna with my Level 1 Stygian Security!"
"A chase to the ends of Hell! Behold, the soul of integrity! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Level 5! Goyo Chaser (Earth/Warrior/Synchro/Effect/ATK: 1900)!"
Another monster resembling Goyo Guardian, but wearing more armor and holding a jutte appeared.
"Another Synchro Summon," I commented.
"However, that monster can't defeat my White Aura Piranha," Ren reminded me.
"I activate the Spell Card Attack Sealing, changing your attack position monster to defense!" the officer explained as Piranha changed to defense position.
"Ops..." Ren whispered. "I've jinxed it..."
"Battle!" the officer yelled pointing forward. "Go! Goyo Chaser attacks Piranha!"
The warrior threw its weapon at piranha, destroying it.
"The effect of Goyo Chaser activates!" the officer stated. "Monsters this card destroys in battle are special summoned to my field with their Attack halved!"
"It steals the enemy's monsters?" I wondered narrowing my eyes.
"I'm sorry to disappoint, but that won't be happening!" Ren told. "When White Aura Piranha is destroyed, by banishing a "White" monster from my Graveyard, I can resurrect this monster and treat is a Tuner Monster!"
A copy of White Aura Piranha ejected from Ren's Graveyard and he placed it into his Banish Slot. Seconds later, the other White Aura Piranha reappeared on the field.
"Amazing!" Melissa cried out. "Not only the fugitive prevents the Duel Chaser from stealing his monster, he also revived it! Moreover, it's now treated as a Tuner Monster!"
"Tch, damn Common..." the officer grunted annoyed. "I set a card face-down and end my turn!"
"Neither Duelists are giving in!" Melissa said. "How will the fugitive respond!?"
"My turn!" Ren announced. "Draw! I normal summon White Moray (Water/Fish/Effect/ATK: 600/LV: 2) from my hand!"
A white fish resembling a moray eel materialized on Ren's field.
"Battle!" Ren shouted. "White Aura Piranha attacks Goyo Chaser! Its effect activates, doubling its Attack (ATK: 1300 = 2600)! Predator's Fury!"
The piranha destroyed yet another enemy.
Officer: LP 2700 - 700 = 2000
"Activating set card!" the officer shouted. "Synchro Spirits! By banishing Goyo Chaser from my Graveyard, I can Special Summon its materials from the Graveyard!"
A portal opened as Goyo Gardna (DEF: 2000) and Stygian Security (DEF: 600) emerged from it, both in defense.
"After receiving a fierce attack from the fugitive, our Duel Chaser revived his monsters!" Melissa exclaimed. "Now the fugitive can't attack directly with White Moray!"
"We'll see about that," Ren muttered as he pointing at Moray. "This monster can attack the opposing player directly the turn it was Normal Summoned! Go! White Moray attacks you directly!"
"What!?" the officer gasped as the moray bypassed Goyo Chaser and Stygian Security and rammed into him.
Officer: LP 2000 - 600 = 1400
"Now I activate my own set card!" Ren informed. "Urgent Tuning! I can perform a Synchro Summon! I tune my Level 2 White Moray with my Level 4 White Aura Piranha which is treated as a Tuner!"
"A Synchro Summon during the Battle Phase..." I muttered surprised.
"Sea creature slumbering in the abyss, heed my call and appear now before me!" Ren chanted. "Synchro Summon! The Level 6, White Aura Dolphin (Water/Fish/Synchro/Effect/ATK: 2400)!"
A white colored dolphin appeared on Ren's field.
"Battle! White Aura Dolphin attacks Stygian Security! White Splash!"
Following Ren's order, the dolphin released a stream of water from its mouth, destroying the enemy.
"I end my turn!" Ren concluded. "The only way to capture us is to win this Duel, so maybe you could try and Duel more seriously."
"You little rat...my turn!" the officer declared. "Draw! I normal summon the Tuner Monster, Jutte Deputy (Earth/Warrior/Tuner/Effect/ATK: 800/DEF: 500/LV: 2) from my hand! Now I activate Goyo Gardna's effect, targeting itself and dealing 500 damage to you!"
Ren: LP 3500 - 500 = 3000
"Now I tune my Level 5 Goyo Gardna with my Level 2 Jutte Deputy!" the officer stated.
"The member of the powerful military caste of ancient times, become the evildoers' downfall!" he chanted. "Synchro Summon! Come forth, Level 7! Goyo Samurai (Earth/Warrior/Synchro/Effect/ATK: 2700/DEF: 2200/LV: 7)!"
The monster that appeared was a well-armored warrior holding a sasumata, resembling a samurai.
"The Duel Chaser has managed to summon a stronger monster!" Melissa noted with a wide smile. "Will the Duel end on this turn!?"
"When Jutte Deputy is used as Synchro Material for the summon of a "Goyo" monster, I can draw a card," the officer explained. "Next I equip Goyo Samurai with Goyo Arrow. Activating its effect! Once per turn, I can inflict 100 damage to the opponent times the Level of the equipped monster! Take 700 damage! Fire!"
A gattling-gun formed between the samurai's hands as it took hold of it, and fired a round of bullets at us, making Ren lose control over his D-Wheel for a second.
Ren: LP 3000 - 700 = 2300
"It's over, you Common rat!" the officer told as he threw his hand forward. "Battle! Goyo Samurai attacks White Aura Dolphin! Goyo Barrage, fire!"
Another wave of bullets was released from the gun, destroying the dolphin.
Ren: LP 2300 - 300 = 2000
"Goyo Samurai's effect activates!" the officer stated. "A monster destroyed by battle with this card is Special Summoned to my side of the field with its effects negated!"
"Doing that is useless!" Ren said. "I activate the effect of White Aura Dolphin, which is exactly like White Aura Piranha's!"
The second and last copy of White Aura Piranha ejected from Ren's Graveyard Slot as the dolphin got resurrected.
"Using the same trick is useless!" the officer yelled as he smirked. "When Samurai fails to steal an opponent's monster through its effect, the opponent is inflicted 1000 damage!"
The sasumata reappeared in the samurai's hand, which it threw at Ren, piercing the D-Wheel like a ghost and making Ren flinch.
Ren: LP 2000 - 1000 = 1000
"It's over!" the officer said as he and Ren turned a corner, the officer now in the front. "Samurai's effect also allows it to declare a second attack on an opponent's monster!"
"This is bad!" I gasped in concern. "If he attacks now, Ren will take another 300 battle damage, and Samurai's effect will steal White Aura Dolphin, allowing him to attack directly with it. Even if Ren decides to resurrect it through its effect, Samurai will inflict him another 1000 damage, ending the game!"
"Vanish, you rat!" the officer cried out. "Second Battle! Goyo Samurai attacks White Aura Dolphin! Goyo Barrage, fire!"
"This is it, folks!" Melissa called out as Goyo Samurai fired more bullets. "The winner is our Duel Chaser!"
"Sore wa dou kana!"
"Nani!?" everybody watching exclaimed at Ren's words.
"Activating the Trap Card I set on my first turn!" Ren called out, revealing his set card. "White Spirits! When a "White" monster I control is attacked, for every banished "White Aura" monster I have, that monster gains 1000 Attack points!"
"Impossible! You were keeping that card for all this time!?" the officer gasped in shock.
"I have two White Aura Piranhas banished," Ren explained. "So White Aura Dolphin gains 2000 Attack points (ATK: 2400 = 4400)! End this Duel, partner! White Splash!"
The dolphin gave a loud cry as it dodged the bullets. Afterwards, it swam across the field and stopped in front of Goyo Samurai. White Aura Dolphin opened its mouth as a giant jet of water erupted from it, bathing the samurai in water and destroying it.
The Duel Chaser gritted his teeth as he lost control over his D-Wheel because of the created explosion, and fell to the ground, unconscious.
Officer: LP 1400 - 1700 = 0
Winner: Ren!
"The...The fugitive...he won?" Melissa asked in shock. She quickly regained her composure as she remembered she was being filmed. "I-It seems the Duel is over folks, and much to all our surprise, the fugitive won! What a fantastic Duel!"
"You did it!" I cheered happily. "Well done, Ren!"
"Thank you. However, we aren't out of this yet."
True to his words, a large truck was blocking the way on the highway, several officers in front of the truck.
"They sealed us off!" I gasped.
"Quick, hold on tight!" Ren shouted. I nodded as I tightened my grip on the seat.
Ren increased his speed as we were getting closer to the blockade. Before we could've collided, Ren drove his D-Wheel up the highway's border walls, rocketing us into the air and flying over the blockade.
"A-After them!" one of the officers shouted shocked as they hurried into their truck and D-Wheels.
"Amazing, just like last night, the fugitives escaped..." Melissa muttered before she turned to the screen. "Hope you liked today's show, everybody! Melissa Claire, signing out!"
No one's P.O.V.
In the middle of a street surrounded by buildings in horrible states, a bright light shone for a couple of seconds.
"Yeah, 'my company's best man' was a failure..." Manek growled in annoyance as he looked at three other youths behind him. "Guys? We're separated from Reiji, the blue ninja, Mr. Tower, Emo Wing, and Used Orange Noise Maker."
"You could try and be nicer to your allies, Manek," Yuu told with a sigh.
"We're even missing Yuya, Reira, and Sawatari," Daphne pointed out. "Even Vince and Serena. We should try and reunite as soon as possible. Who knows what await us in this dimension."
"Finding tomato head, banana peel, Serena, Vince and Reira will be easy," Manek told with a roll of his eyes. "Just look for the chaos the Security brings along. The Pendulum Summon will be relatively new to this dimension, along with Ritual, Fusion, and Xyz. While we're on the topic, do you guys think there's a Ritual Dimension?"
"It doesn't," Daphne replied. "The Fusion Dimension never strumbled across a Ritual Dimension during investigations. Let's start looking for our comrades. In the meantime, keep your eyes open for a spot where we could spend the night."
Manek asked as they carefully looked around. "Think this dimension has Kozmo Wars?"
Daphne sighed. "Why did I end up with strange people..."
"Strange is the comparison to the being's standard day to day life." Manek pointed out.
"You don't need to tell me," Yuu sighed. "Out of nowhere, I'm dragged into an interdimensional war. I don't think this can get any worse."
That's when several sirens echoed through the streets. Two police cars stopped around the three teens, blocking every escape route.
"Oh come on!" Yuu cried out.
Manek slowly turned to Yuu and raised an eyebrow. "If your about to verbally or mentally jinx something and realize that it's a jinx, instantly stop. It lessens it by a lot."
"You could've told me before," Yuu muttered.
"Don't make any funny moves!" an officer said. "We've got you surrounded! Come quietly with us, or else!"
"They've surrounded us!" Daphne gritted his teeth.
Manek sighed. "Well, at least it's up against a corrupt justice system."
"The only corrupted thing here is you, kid!" an officer shouted as he activated his Duel Disk. "Security will show you true justice!"
Manek scoffed and muttered. "Hindsight is twenty-twenty…"
[Action Field on. Field Spell: Crossover.]
Several platforms materialized around the Duelists as they started fighting.
"DUEL!" Manek and the officer shouted.
Manek - LP 4000
VS
Officer - LP 4000
"It's showtime!" Manek declared. He took hold of two cards in his hand and revealed them to the opponent. "With the scale 3 Dopant of Bird and the scale 9 Dopant of Yesterday, I set the Pendulum Scale!"
Two pillars of light appeared beside Manek as said monsters rose to their tips.
"Pendulum?" the officer asked confused. "What in the world is that!?"
"Swing, my pendulum of memories!" Manek shouted, ignoring the officer. "Bring my actors onto this stage! Pendulum Summon! Arrive and come into the spotlight! Masked Warrior - Wizard (ATK: 2500/LV: 7/SC: 8)!"
The warrior clad in red armor appeared beside Manek as it emerged from a portal.
"He summoned a high Leveled monster without any Tributes!?" the officer gasped shocked.
"Now, time for the fun part!" Manek grinned. "I use the effect of Wizard! Since its Attribute is Fire, it can burn away 400 of your Life Points!"
A red magic circle materialized in front of Wizard as it moved its hand into it, extracting a gun. It then fired four fiery bullets, each hitting the officer and making him wince.
Officer: LP 4000 - 400 = 3600
"I set two cards and end my turn," Manek concluded.
"A lucky shot, punk. My turn!" the officer declared. "Draw! I normal summon Vigilante Zeni (Earth/Warrior/Effect/ATK: 1600/LV: 4) from my hand, and activate its effect, reducing its ATK to zero (ATK: 1600 = 0) to Special Summon the Tuner Monster, Vigilante Gata (Earth/Warrior/Tuner/Effect/DEF: 800/LV: 8) in defense position from my hand!"
A little monster resembling a warrior and a white armored robot with sirens on its head appeared beside the officer.
"Activating Continuous Trap Card!" Manek suddenly grinned. "Crazy Discord! While I control a level 6 or higher monster, neither player can perform a Synchro Summon! Also, if I control a Spellcaster-type monster, this Trap can't be destroyed by card effects!"
"Tch, an anti-Synchro effect?" the officer gritted his teeth. "I set a card face-down and end my turn..."
"My turn!" Manek announced. "Draw! I play the Spell Card Magical Planter, sending my Crazy Discord to the Graveyard and draw two cards!"
"You got some new cards, but now I can Synchro Summon," the officer pointed out.
Before Manek could make his next move, a loud robotic voice boomed in the area.
[A Duel has been commenced.]
Hexagonal pillars emerge from between the buildings, slightly shaking the ground around our heroes. The pillars then splayed out into road sections above them.
"What is this?" Manek asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Sector Security's Director consented another Speed Duel...?" the officer muttered as he stared at the newly appeared roads above him.
"In any case, I better move fast," Manek whispered as he narrowed his eyes. "I normal summon the Tuner Monster, Glow-Up Bulb (Earth/Plant/Tuner/Effect/ATK: 100/LV: 1) from my hand!"
A little monster resembling a seed with an eye in its center appeared.
"A Tuner? You're going to Synchro Summon..." the officer muttered. "That's why you got rid of Crazy Discord..."
"I activate the Continous Spell Dark Room of Nightmares. Now every time you take effect damage from a card effect, other than this Spell, you are inflicted an additional 300 damage," Manek stated. "Next, I activate Wizard's effect once again, dealing you 400 damage, plus an additional 300 with Dark Room's effect!"
Wizard fired four bullets from its gun, and three beams of light shot out the Continous Spell, each hitting the officer.
Officer: LP 3600 - 400 - 300 = 2900
Manek grinned as he threw his arm to the side. "The Level 1 Glow-Up Bulb tunes the Level 7 Masked Warrior - Wizard! Synchro Summon! Come forth from the edge of despair! Blood Mefist (Dark/Fiend/Synchro/Effect/ATK: 2400/LV: 8)!"
A green skinned demon, wearing a pitch-black and blood-red robe, holding a staff with a skull on its tip, appeared beside Manek as thunder cracked behind it in a dramatic way.
"Blood Mefist!?" the officer gasped. "That's a super rare card! How come you have it, Common scum!?"
Manek tilted his head. "It's a common card, from where I come from," he explained. "However, allow me to pull you into deeper despair! With my set Pendulum Scales, I Pendulum Summon! Return, my final hope! Masked Warrior - Wizard (ATK: 2500/LV: 7/SC: 8)!"
"What!? It came back! How!?" the officer asked.
"Wizard is a Pendulum Monster," Manek grinned as he explained. "When a Pendulum Monster leaves the field, well..." Manek chuckled as he stuck his tongue out. "I'm not telling you! That would be telling your boss about our strongest weapon. Now, since Wizard's effect has been refreshed, I'll use it's burning ability right now!"
"Not again!" the officer groused.
Officer: LP 2900 - 400 - 300 = 2200
Manek continued. "Now, I use Blood Mefist's special ability! You take 300 points of damage for every card you control and counting in my Continous Spell, you take a total of 1200 points of damage!"
Officer: LP 2200 - 900 - 300 = 1000
"Time for the finale!" Manek cried out as he grinned even wider. "Masked Warrior - Wizard, attack Vigilante Zeni!"
"You won't beat me!" the officer barked. "I activate my Trap Card, Urgent Tuning!"
"Actually, you can't!" Manek told. "I chain to your card's activate my own set card! Royal Decree! Now the effects of all other Trap Cards on the field are negated!"
"Impossible!" the officer widen his eyes in horror.
The gun in Wizard's hand vanished as a ring took its place, which he placed inside its belt. Wizard then leaped into the air, and its belt declared [VERY NICE! KICK STRIKE! FABOLOUS! PLEASE!] as the warrior kicked Vigilante Zeni, creating an explosion. The officer was blown back from the impact and landed on the ground.
Officer: LP 1000 - 2500 = 0
Winner: Manek!
"Yosh!" Manek exclaimed as he stricken a guts pose. "I won that without taking a single point of damage! Although, it was against a pretty lame opponent... hey, how are the others doing?"
Manek turned to look at his comrade, and the first thing he saw was Yuu Dueling against an officer.
Current Duel Status:
Officer: LP 1700, controls 1 Sniping Heiji - Type 0 (ATK: 2400)
Yuu: LP 2300, controls 1 Empress of Prophecy (OVU x 1/ATK: 2000 + 300 (by its effect) = 2300), and a set card.
"It's over, kid!" the officer grinned as he looked at his monster. "I activate the effect Sniping Heiji - Type 0! By discarding the last card in my hand, I destroy your last monster, and then attack for game!"
"Not if I have something to say about it!" Yuu shouted confidently. "I chain to your effects activation my set card, the Spellbook of Sapience Quick-Play Spell Card! Thanks to its effect, I can target 1 Spellcaster-Type monster I control, that being my Empress, and have her become immune to other Monster Effects this turn!"
"What!?" the officer gasped as Heiji fired several coins from its gun, each being deflected by a barrier formed around the Empress.
"That's not all!" Yuu informed. "If the monster I targeted with this effect was an Xyz Monster, this Quick-Play Spell becomes that monster's Overlay Unit (Empress: OVU x 2)! Since the number of Overlay Units attached to a monster I control increased, so does Empress' Attack points (ATK: 2300 = 2600)."
"You little brat..." the officer gritted his teeth. "Now Heiji - Type 0 has less Attack than your monster... I end my turn!"
"Then it's my turn!" Yuu called out. "Draw!" he looked at the drawn card, and Yuu slightly widens his eyes. "This card...is one of my newest cards given by Reiji-san...I'll use this to win!"
"What are you babbling there, brat!?" the officer asked, his patience running low.
"My plan to defeat you!" Yuu shouted as he turned serious. "I activate the Spell Card, Rank-Up-Magic Prophecy Force I just drew! Through its effect, I target a Spellcaster-Type Xyz Monster I control and using it as material, Special Summon a "Prophecy" Xyz Monster which is one or two Ranks higher! Using my Rank 5 Empress of Prophecy, I rebuild the Overlay Network!"
Seconds later, a galaxy portal opened in front of Yuu as the empress was sucked into it, a large pillar of light erupting from the portal as Yuu chanted.
"The teacher of wisdom cast aside by humans, show them your newly found power as the pontiff between deity and humanity! Rank-Up Xyz Change! Come forth, the new self of my Ace! Rank 7, The Great Hierophant of Prophecy - Hieron (Dark/Spellcaster/Xyz/Pendulum/Effect/ATK: 2800/DEF: 2600/Rank: 7/SC: 10/OVU: 3)!"
Resembling his newly found strength as a Lancer, Yuu's Ace monster, too, developed a new form: Hieron's hair was now longer, tied up in two ponytails, the clips being magic circles of light. The staff Hieron held was now longer, golden and decorated with several gems, magic letters flowing out from its tip. The robes were the same as before, only difference, it was now longer and decorated with more golden stripes, the crown on Hieron's head had several jewels engraved with letters of an unknown language.
"Big deal!" the officer snorted. "I have plenty of Life Points to spare!"
"Sore wa dou kana!" Yuu cried out. "I activate Hieron's effect! By detaching one of his Overlay Units, for every three copies of "Spellbook" Spell Cards in my Graveyard, I can destroy one card you control, and the best part, the cards destroyed by this effect can't activate any of their effects before and afterward! Currently, I have Spellbook of Sapience, Power, and Secrets in my Graveyard! Go! Portentous Destruction Spell!"
The spellcaster pointed its staff at the enemy's field as a storm of magic letters erupted from the staff, destroying Sniping Heiji - Type 0.
"No! I can't activate Heiji's effect when it leaves the field!" the officer gasped in shock.
"Battle!" Yuu yelled as he pointed forward. "Hieron, attack our foe directly! God's Spell of Judgment!"
Hieron unleashed a beam of light from its staff, knocking the officer to the ground by its force.
Officer: LP 1700 - 2800 = 0
Winner: Yuu!
Yuu sighed once the Duel was over. He looked at The Great Hierophant of Prophecy - Hieron, giving his monster a thumbs up. Hieron replied with a smile and nod of its head, before vanishing as the Duel was over.
Manek smiled as he saw this. He told Yuu the existence of Duel Spirits, even if Yuu can't hear his monsters voices, the Solid Vision does make the card game's monsters become self-aware, and have a soul. It seems Yuu quickly grown the habit of developing a friendship with his monsters.
"How is Daphne doing?" Yuu asked as he ran to Manek's side.
The two males turned to see Daphne's Duel next.
Current Duel Status:
Officer 1: LP 1500, controls 1 Vigilante Zeni (ATK: 1600)
Officer 2: LP 2000, controls 1 Assault Gundog (ATK: 1200)
Officer 3: LP 400, controls 1 Sniping Heiji - Type 0 (ATK: 2400)
Daphne: LP 3600, controls 1 Ritual Beast Ulti-Pettlephin (OVU x 1/ATK: 2000 + 300 (by its effect) = 2300)
"I activate Sniping Heiji - Type 0!" officer number three stated. "I discard a card from my hand to destroy a monster you control and inflict 400 damage to you! Take this!"
"Foolish tactics won't work on me!" Daphne scoffed as she pointed at her Fusion Monster. "Ritual Beast Ulti-Pettlephin can't be destroyed by card effects!"
"You annoying little...I end my turn!" the officer growled as he concluded his turn with no progress whatsoever.
"It's about time we end this circus," Daphne told. "My turn! Draw! I normal summon Ritual Beast Tamer Lara (ATK: 100/LV: 1) from my hand, and activate its effect! I target Spiritual Beast Tamer Winda in my Graveyard and Special Summon it to the field in defense position (DEF: 1800/LV: 4)!"
Two new tamers appeared beside Ulti-Pattlephin. Daphne raised her hands towards the sky as she chanted.
"I banish Winda, Lara, Ulti-Pettlephin I control in order to summon my Ace Monster! Tamed beast of supreme wisdom and grace, gain the power of your ancestors, and become a new force meant to serve God! Contact Fusion! Appear! Ritual Beast Ulti-Gaiapelio (ATK: 3200/LV: 10)!"
The ex-Academia soldier's Ace appeared on the field with a loud roar.
"Battle!" Daphne cried out as he threw hand towards her Ace. "Ulti-Gaiapelio attacks Vigilante Zeni! Chosen's Guidance!"
With a wave of Lara's staff on the back of the mighty beast, a shower of pure light submerged officer number one and his monster in it. He screamed as he was defeated and washed to the ground.
Officer 1: LP 1500 - 1600 = 0
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Ritual Beast's Assault!" Daphne shouted as she revealed the card from her hand. "Ulti-Gaiapelio can now attack all monsters you control once each! Go! Attack Assault Gundog with Chosen's Guidance!"
Another wave of its staff and the beast under Lara's control roared as it released flames from its mouth, destroying the dog on officer number two's field, defeating him as well.
Officer 2: LP 2000 - 2000 = 0
"And the last attack!" Daphne declared. "Ulti-Gaiapelio attacks Heiji - Type 0! Chosen's Guidance!"
The beast pounced on the poor warrior, destroying it under its paw and creating an explosion which sent the last officer flying against a wall.
Officer 3: LP 400 - 800 = 0
Winner: Daphne!
Daphne brushed some of her orange hair which fell into her eyes to the side, a sly smile on her lips, content with crushing Synchro Dimension's fools who dare underestimate her.
"Woah..." Yuu whispered astonished by his comrade's strength.
"It seems you've finished your Duels as well," Daphne told as she addressed the two. "Let's hurry before more reinforcements come."
"Good idea," Manek nodded.
[Hold it right there!]
A microphone told from a helicopter above our heroes. More police cars appeared all around the street, completely surrounding them.
"The Synchro Dimension's residents are quite annoying," Daphne commented.
"What do we do?" Yuu asked as he looked at his comrades.
"They're too many, we can't take them on as we are," Manek said as he stepped forward, raising both his hands into the air, surrendering.
Daphne and Yuu did the same, the officers roughly shoved the three into a vehicle and closed the doors.
"Great..." Yuu muttered. "This was the only thing we didn't need."
"Take these to the Facility," the three heard an officer say, addressing another co-worker outside the car. "My squad and I have to go on a search for two fugitives."
"Sir, we got a picture from headquarters," a new voice told. "Now we know the fugitives' faces."
Manek raised an eyebrow as he pecked outside between the door's bars. He saw an officer showing a higher up a photo on his Duel Disk.
"But that's..."
The vehicle abruptly started moving, prompting Manek to fall backward.
"Well?" Daphne asked. "What did you see?"
"Thanks for your concern," the actor muttered as he stood up. "The fugitives they were talking about...it was Vince."
"Eh? Vince-san?" Yuu parroted.
Manek nodded as she sat down. "However, there was somebody else besides him in the photo, but I don't know who it was...at least he's having better luck than us."
The first chapter of the Synchro Arc is done.
The person in last chapter's beginning was none other than Ren from the Arc-V Manga, who made his appearance in this chapter. One of the reasons why Ren from all people is because he is a Synchro user, fitting to make him enter in the Synchro Arc. Further reasons will be told later on.
(I think a lot of you guys can figure out the person Ren talked with was.)
Ren appeared and saved Vince, showing off his deck against a Duel Chaser.
Other Duels were Manek, Yuu, and Daphne defeating Security officers. I've also had Yuu gain an evolved form of his previous Ace, Hierophant of Prophecy because having an Ace which is a Rank 7 (which isn't easy to summon in a Prophecy deck) that only destroys Spell/Trap Cards your opponent controls is pretty lame.
Well, that's all for today, hope you guys liked the chapter. Don't forget to review!
