Chapter 11: The Four Dimensions
Setting: Episodes 37-38
After Raito "defeated" Sora. Sora faded and was sent back to the Fusion Dimension as Yuto, Yuya, Raito, and everyone in the Leo Corporation control room all watched.
Kurosaki: He ran away back to his dimension like a coward.
Reiji: Or rather, he was forced back. It must have been programmed in his Duel Disk.
Yuto: He went back to the Fusion Dimension.
Raito: Yeah. He was a person originally from that world. Just like me.
Yuya: What? What's this garbage you're spewing?
Raito: It's not garbage. I confirmed it didn't I?
Yuya: You and Sora are from the Fusion Dimension, Yuto and Kurosaki are from the Xyz Dimension, you're saying there's more worlds than this one?
Yuto: That's right.
Yuya: I can't believe that! Hurry up and give back Sora! He was injured during the duel with you Raito!
Yuto: Don't worry. Academia should have their own doctors.
Yuya: Academia…
Yuya: Both Sora and Raito mentioned that.
Raito: Yeah, that's where me and Sora are from.
Yuto: Academia is…a training school for Duel Soldiers in the Fusion Dimension!
Yuya: Duel Soldiers!? Are you and Sora Duel Soldiers Raito?
Raito: Me? No. I turned my back on them. By the way, when I met you and the monsters. My Academia memories were lost. They came back to me due to what Sora had said in that Duel. My goal right now is to figure out how to stop the conflict between the Fusion Dimension and the rest of us. I just remember that I said I was going to be Yuto's ally. I don't remember how I got to this world yet.
Yuya: What did Academia do?
Yuto: Those guys, are invaders! They invaded the Xyz Dimension, and attacked it. They also kidnapped my comrade, my best friend's little sister. My homeland was attacked by them!
Raito: Kurosaki Shun…Kurosaki Ruri. That makes sense now.
Yuya: Your home is the Xyz Dimension?
Yuto: Academia calls it that. Just as they use Fusion Summoning, people of our world use Xyz summoning.
Yuya: But you don't use just Fusions do you Raito?
Raito: The first I remember after my Academia day was waking up in a brand new environment in this world.
Raito told his story of his minutes in the Standard Dimension.
Flashback to 2 years ago in New Domino City.
?: Oh dear!
Raito: Huh?
Raito's eyes opened as he heard a voice of an old lady.
?: Are you OK?
Raito: I think…
?: Oh no your Duel Disk broke!
Raito: My Duel Disk?
Raito then looks at what was on his arm and sees it broke up to pieces.
Raito: That's my Duel Disk?
?: It seems your Deck is still intact though.
Raito: Where am I?
?: You are in New Domino City.
Raito: New Domino City…
?: I saw you take a hard hitting fall. It's a miracle for you to even be alive!
Raito got up but due to the pain he got he had difficulty doing so.
?: Can you walk?
Raito: Yeah.
?: Good. I'll pick up your deck for you.
Raito: My deck?
?: Yes, your deck silly boy.
The old lady picked up Raito's stack of cards called a deck and gave it to Raito. He put it in his pocket.
Raito: Sorry. I don't really remember anything.
?: Is that so? Well we know one thing. You are a Duelist.
Raito: I'm a Duelist?
?: Right. A person that participates in Dueling.
Raito: Dueling?
?: Your Duel Disk looks broken beyond repair so you might have to get a new one.
Raito: Oh.
?: Do you know if your parents are around?
Raito: My parents?
?: Oh dear, you've forgetten your parents?
Raito: I don't think I even have any.
?: What's your name?
Raito: Ezumi Raito. Hey! There's one thing I remember!
Martha: My name is Martha, I run an orphanage here. Why don't you come with me? You can try to remember more stuff.
Raito. Okay.
Flashback ends.
Raito: There, I made new memories, learned to Duel again, and honed my skills with help of many people. I got pretty famous after being skillful enough to win the Grand Fortune Cup, a big tournament in New Domino City. I decided to move here a bit after that.
Yuto: I see. You probably got there because you got warped to the Standard Dimension instead of the Fusion Dimension when you were with Ruri and I.
Raito: Hmm.
Yuya: So you traveled dimensions?
Raito: Yeah. Not by my own will. But, I'm glad that happened. I wouldn't have met you and the others. And not to mention getting rich!
Yuto: The inhabitants of the Xyz Dimension including myself used Xyz Summoning. But it was never a tool for fighting. Our duels were for people to smile and have fun until that day…the day Academia attacked us. Heartland was overflowing with people's smiles until…
Yuya: Was Raito invading with them?
Raito: Yeah, but I had no idea at the time. I was terrified of how innocent people were turned into cards. That's when I decided to leave. I didn't want any part of it. Heh, I'm remembering how Yuto caught me alone.
Yuto: He and I dueled after I forced him to but he didn't believe in fighting against us. He withdrew on the last turn when he would've won.
Yuya: I see. That's great.
Raito: I couldn't turn him into a card man. People getting turned into cards…can be comparable to death!
In the control room, Reiji felt a bit angry and tighten his fists. Shun felt really angry and slammed his fist to his thigh.
Reira: Brother…
Yuya: Wait! If Xyz and Fusion is there…
Yuto: Yeah. It certainly exists. The Synchro Dimension. It's a mystery to why the worlds are divided by summoning methods but it's an undeniable truth.
Raito: There's only four dimensions. There's no Ritual Dimension or even Pendulum Dimension as far as we know.
Yuya: Then what's this dimension called?
Yuto: Standard. That's what Academia calls this world.
Yuya: Standard…
Yuto: The foundation of all that exists, the center world.
Raito: Right now, Academia is planning to take over all the dimensions. They claim it is to unite them for a utopia. But they wouldn't commit a mass genocide on the Xyz Dimension to do it.
There was a green light that appeared and a D-Wheel came out with a person riding it. He hit a spotlight.
Yugo: Damn. What's this thing going here?
Yugo took off his helmet to reveal his face.
Raito: Yuya and Yuto's lookalike?
Yuya: Huh? Another guy that looks like me?
Yuto: You're…
Yugo: Huh? AH! It's time to finish this! I've been looking for you!
Yuto and Yugo engaged in a Duel with Yuya and Raito watching. (It pretty goes as it does in Episode 37 in Arc-V. Remember, I don't want redundancy so we shall skipped to the near end with this one.) Yuto and Yugo went into Berserk Mode while Dueling and in the end, Yuto had ended up losing the Duel. Their Berserk Modes faded. Yuto was about to "die" and Yuya ran up to the fallen Duelist.
Yugo: Huh? Where have I been?
Raito: Yuto!
Raito and Yugo saw that there was a blue light surrounding Yuya and Yuto. Yuzu went to where they were and her bracelet shined causing Yugo to vanish.
After the light disappeared, Yuto vanished and Yuya was on his knees and fainted.
Yuzu: YUYA!
Raito: Yuya!
Yuzu and Raito ran up to the blacked out Yuya and tried to get him to wake up.
Yuzu: Raito. Just what happened!?
Raito looked over to see Yuto's purple Duel Disk and looked at it.
Raito: A lot happened…
Raito carried Yuya onto his D-Wheel and told Yuzu to meet up at Yuya's house. He then rode off with Yuya on his back still unconscious. After he got Yuya home in one piece thanks to Yuzu telling him Yuya's address, Raito carried Yuya onto his bed after he was let in by Sakaki Yoko, Yuya's mom. Raito went home riding his D-Wheel there. He sent Yuzu a very thorough text message explaining what went down at Central Park. The next morning. Yuzu and Yoko were with Yuya. Yuya was resting in his bed. Mieru came in and tried to make thing better. Meanwhile, Raito woke from his sleep and realized what happened last night. He was still in his confy bed as he didn't want to get out of it for a while.
Raito: I can't believe Yuto and his Synchro double vanished like that. But, I'm positive Yuto isn't dead or anything.
Raito sat up from his bed after having a theory of what happened to Yuya and Yuto.
Raito: Maybe he mixed with Yuya? He DID have a weird look as if something happened to him. Yuto's in him? That's a bizarre idea…
Raito got out of his bed and went to his deck, which was at his table, and looked at some of his cards.
Raito: That's right. This is when the first round of the Junior Youth Championship ends. I don't even know my second opponent yet so today is the day I find out.
Raito picked up his five blank cards in the extra deck.
Raito: Maybe I'll unlock another card just like when I dueled Sora…
Raito stared at one particular blank card. He picked it out and left the rest on his table. He flipped it over so that he see the back. It had "R + S" in handwriting and Raito was still puzzled by it.
Raito: Maybe, that R + S is part of my lost memories? The R could be…me. My name starts with an R right? If I'm R, who's the S I'm plus'ed with?
Meanwhile, at the Academia medical center, Sora was in an operating room ranting and Serena was eavesdropping outside the room.
Sora: Please! Let me go back to Standard! There are Xyz Resistance remants out there! Please give me one more chance! Even that traitor Raito is there!
Serena gassed and her eyes widen in complete shock after hearing Raito's name, a name she has not heard in 2 years.
Sora: Please! This time I'll defeat all those Xyz scum AND that traitor Ezumi Raito!
Serena: Rai…to.
Tears formed on Serena's eyes, streamed down her face and hit the floor.
