In this chapter Yuya will meet both Serena and Rin and get warped.
The Cold Smile of Serena
In the LDS's Center Court, the crowds were getting furious that none of the streams were showing. "Cut this out already!" A man yelled out. "Give me my money back!" Another man yelled out. "What's the management even doing?" Another man asked in fury. "I'm going home, damn it!" Another man yelled out. "I'd like to voice some of my complaints too, you know! I don't even know who's Dueling where, or who's beating whom! Now this isn't even a live broadcast anymore! A jeez! Please let me at least do my job! I'm begging you! Please!" Nico cried out. "It looks like LDS's Director was telling the truth...Looks, the eight from the Youth team are doing their own Battle Royal!" Tatsuya said pointed at his Duel Disk. "What does that "lost" text mean?" Fudoshi asked. "Probably that they were defected in a Duel and lost their Pendulum Cards..." Tatsuya answers. "Reira won!" Ayu said. "Huh?" Tatsuya gasped. "See!" Ayu said as she showed them on her Duel Disk. "Just like that old lady said!" Fudoshi said. "Reira and I are fighting in the finals..." Tatsuya said.
A glow shines out as Dennis looks over the Iceberg Area. He turns "Oh, it's just you? I was getting tired of waiting! You're finally here,Serena ." Dennis comments. "So did you fund them?" Serena asked. "Of course! I've already-huh?" Dennis started to say, but stop when he saw Yuya was already surrounded by three Obelisk Force. "He's surrounded already...Ah,jeez..."Dennis tuts. "What are they doing here? Professor gave only me the order to capture and bring back Yuya Sakaki" Serena asked. "Yes, a good question. But the answer is rather simple. Yuya just exchanged outfits with Yuri. The Obelisk Force is probably going after Yuri. The two of them are look-alikes, just like you and Yuzu. That's why-" Dennis explains. "And who is that? Yuzu?" Serena asked. "I keep telling you, the girl from this dimension who looks just..." Dennis started to explain, but before he could finish they both hear screaming "Huh?" Dennis said. Halil and Olga was toboggan along an ice wave, ramping into the air and crashing against the railing on the other side of the building."That scared me! We went to fast!" Halil gasped. "It's because you said you wanted to ride it!" Olga protested. "But we found some Duellist!" Halil pointed out. "Oh boy, they saw us" Dennis cheerfully laments. "What are you peoples doing here?" Olga asked. "Sheesh, that's the last thing I want to hear from you..."Dennis comments. He looks on sadly as Serena steps forward "You people are nuisances" Serena comments. Halil and Olga get fierce looks on their faces.
Yuya looks around at the Obelisk Force "In order for Yuri to learn what happened in the Xyz Dimension, he has to meet Shun! I have to keep these guys away from him!" He thinks. He activates his Duel Disk, and the Obelisk Force activates their sword-shaped Duel Disks "Those Duel Disks! Those are from the Fusion Dimension...Since it's come to this...I have to fight!" Yuya said."You people are nuisances too!" Someone yelled out and Serena leaped from the building to land in a crouch. "Yuzu!" Yuya said when he notices Serena's resemblance to Yuzu. "What are you saying? I'm not that girl" Serena irritably asks. She stands up "That aside, you three, out of my way. If you get in my way, you'll end up like this" She tells the Obelisk Force and toss two cards forwards, which embed in the ice. "Huh? Those are?!" Yuya said in shock when he saw them and the ice breaks, turning the cards over to reveal Halil and Olga sealed inside. "It can't be...People are sealed inside these cards...?! This can't..." Yuya said in shock as he kneels down and the Obelisk Force run off. Serena walks up "Oh, do you know them? Sorry, they were interfering with my work, you can have them back" Serena tells Yuya. Yuya then remembers Yuzu telling him about another him about some named Rin, who also looks like her. "So she's Rin..." Yuya decided. "Did you do this?" Yuya asked. "That's right" Yuri answers. "Why!?" Yuya asked. "Why? Because they were nuisances" Serena told him. "Turning people into cards-!" Yuya started to yell in anger. "If you keep on bugging me about it...I'll turn you into a card too" Serena softly interrupts and warns him. The threat silences Yuya. "But I won't. If I did something like that, I'd get scolded by the Professor" Serena admitted. "Professor?!" Yuya said, he then remember Yuri telling him about the Professor, the highest authority in Academia. "So that means you're from Academia!?" Yuya asked. "Yeah, that's right. But you really do look just like them...Yuto and Yugo, that is" Serena told him. "Yuto and Yugo!? Then the one who kidnapped Yuto was...!?"Yuya asked. "Yep, me" Serena answers. "Why would you do something like that?!"Yuya asked. "Why? Because it was the Professor's orders. Right now, I'm only acting on the Professor's orders. His orders to bring you to him, that is "Serena tell Yuya. "Me?! Why?!" Yuya asked. "I don't know, I only follow" Serena answer as she walks up to Yuya. "Anyways, come, the Professor is waiting for you" She tells him as she held her hand out. But the leering smile on her face gave Yuya pause, and he slaps her hand away and back flips four times, landing on his feet. "Oh? Pretty good! You're really just like Yuto and Yugo" Serena said as she shakes the hand that Yuya slapped. "Then, how about we so this? We'll Duel, and if I win, you have to listen to what I say. Sound good?" Serena suggests. "Hold on! You didn't just kidnap Yuto, but also this Yugo guy too? "Why!?" Yuya asked "I told you, it was an order. Come on, hurry up! Weren't you just all ready to go against the Obelisk Force" Serena said. "I..!" Yuya hesitates. "If you won't start, I will" Serena tell Yuya as she activated her Duel Disk. "I won't go down that easy!" Yuya vowed.
Off to the side, Dennis stands with the Obelisk Force "Now then, we can leave this to Serena and...I'm going to need you all to cooperate with me" Dennis tells them as he flips his collar to reveal his Academia pin.
In the Volcano Area, the real Rin sits on her Duel Runner "What the heck is this? First the Ice Age, and now a blazing hell...What's going on with this world?" She wonders. "Stop It!" someone screams. Rin looks across to where the three Senior Team members are Duelling the Obelisk Force. "That..!" She exclaimed. Yuu Sakuragi and his two fellows still control their ace monsters, Hierophant of Prophecy, Naturia Leodrake and Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, , but the Obelisk Force each control a copy of Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound and Triple Ancient Gear Hunting Hound. "I activate the Spell card: Ancient Armageddon Gear from my hand! And with Triple Ancient Gear Hunting Hound's effect, I can attack three times! " The Obelisk Force with a yellow jewel in his mask said. "First I'll start with your monster! Get him, Battle! I Attack Naturia Leodrake! And I activate Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound's effect. Any monster with a Gear Shift Counter on it can be destroyed before damage calculation!" the yellow jewel Obelisk Force told the Purple hair duellist. Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound flings a Gear Counter at Naturia Leodrake, destroying it. A cannon-covered machine emerges from the ground "And now, with Ancient Armageddon Gear's effect, the destroyed monster's ATK of 3000 is dealt to its controller!" the yellow jewel Obelisk Force explained. The machine blasts several bolts of light that coalesce into a single blast that knocks the purple-haired Duellist down, reducing his LP from 2400 to zero. The impact throws the Duellist to the feet of the red jeweled Obelisk Force, who begins inputting a code into his Duel Disk. "St-stop! Please!" The purple-haired Duellist begs the Obelisk Force. But no-one heeds his words and he screams in fear as purple light envelopes him and disintegrates his body. A card slides out of the Duel Disk, bearing the image of the Duellist, and the red jeweled Obelisk Force laughs as he holds the card. Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth was destroyed as well "With the same effect, you also take 3500 damage!" the yellow jewel Obelisk Force tells the Insect Duellist. Another blast strikes the terrified Insect Duellist down, reducing his LP from 2100 to zero. The Insect Duellist falls on his face, and is swiftly sealed in a card by the green jewelled Obelisk Force. "Those guys are...Those bastards are here too!?" Rin exclaimed. "This is the end! I attack Hierophant of Prophecy! " the yellow jewel Obelisk Force tells Yuu and Yuu cries out in fear.
"Hold it right there!" Rin roars at the Obelisk Force. Ramping into the air, Rin and on the bridge in the middle of the Obelisk Force. In the Leo Corporation's Control room "There is an intruder in the Volcano Area!" said one of the technicians. "She's...! She's not a Duellist from the Fusion Dimension! Then is she from the Synchro Dimension...? Nakajima wonders. Rin's Duel Disk activated "I Special Summon Wind Witch-Veil Bell from my hand!" Rin said. A young girl with a white veil appeared (ATK: 100) "With its effect, I can change all of my opponent's monsters to Defense Position!" She explained the effect of Veil Bell. Small balls of light came out of Veil Bell switching all of the Obelisk Force's Fusion Monsters to Defense Position. "Damn it, then...I end my turn!" The yellow jewelled Obelisk Force curses. "You! Just who are you!?" The red jewelled Obelisk Force asks. "I'm Rin!" She introduces herself. "Rin? What are you going to win?" the red jewelled Obelisk Force asks. "I said "Rin", damn it!" Rin snapping. Frustrated at her name being mistaken again Rin speeds towards the Obelisk Force. "My turn! I summon Wind Witch-Blizzard Bell from my hand! (ATK: 1200)" Rin declared as she drives up an outcrop and speeds into the air. "I tune my Level 4 Veil Bell with my Level 3 Blizzard Bell! Winds of winter, snow and ice! Become my power to blow everything away! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 7! Wind Witch - Winter Bell! (ATK: 2400)" Rin chanted. "Synchro Monster?" Reji said. Rin hits the ground with Winter Bell behind her. The Obelisk Force were surprised "But whenever a monster is Summoned or Special Summoned, Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound's effect put's one Gear Shift Counter on it!" the yellow jewelled member states. "Now your monster shares the same fate as their monsters!" The red jewelled Obelisk Force comments. "I wonder about that... "Rin comments. "What?!" The red jewelled Obelisk Force said. "I activate the Quick-Spell: Raging Winds! When an effect of a monster on my opponent field targets a monster on my field, that effect is negate and that monster is destroyed!" Rin stated. A big gust of wind surrounds Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound and destroyed it. The destruction of a monster triggers the effect of "Ancient Armageddon Gear", and the yellow-jewelled Obelisk Force is struck down, his LP reduced to 1800. "From his own card's effect?!" The green jewelled Obelisk Force gasps in shock. "And thanks to Raging Winds, my monster gains that destroyed monster's ATK!" Rin interrupts, explaining. (Wind Witch - Winter Bell's ATK: 3800) "Prepare yourself! Now it's over! I activate the Spell Card: Synchro Cracker from my hand! I return Wind Witch - Winter Bell to my Extra Deck and destroy all monsters with lower ATK than it!" Rin yelled out. Winter Bell blasts out blades of light that destroy the "Hunting Hound" Fusion Monsters. "Get finished off by your own card! With Ancient Armageddon Gear's effect, you'll take damage equal to the ATK of your destroyed monsters!" Rin tells them. With the effect of "Ancient Armageddon Gear", they all take damage equal to the ATK of their destroyed monsters, and the LP of the three Obelisk Force members all fall to zero, knocking them to the ground. "She wiped out that many opponents that fast!?"Nakajima said in shock. "Synchro...is not our enemy?" Reji realizes.
"Hey, are you okay?" Rin asked Yuu, but the stress of the battle has gone to Yuu's head. "W-we can't handle fights like this!" Yuu protests and flees, screaming in terror. "Hey! What the heck? I saved him and he doesn't even thank me?" Rin said. Back in the Control room "Our elite Youth Team was...President! If it's come to this, we need to send out the Top Team...!" Nakajima said. "It wouldn't work. Right now, LDS doesn't have the strength to fend off Academia" Reji bluntly replies. "We won't know that unless we try!" Nakajima protests. "Have you forgotten why I am working to form a new team of Lancers?" Reji remind Nakajima. "Since the discovery of Pendulum Summoning, Duelling has moving to a new stage. Any skills that were acquired before that will not be able compete with Duellist from other dimensions! But, to use the term "Pendulum generation", if they and any Duellist younger than Junior Youth are able to embrace Pendulum without resistance,there is a possibility theyc oould become even stronger" Reji reminds him.
"Quit messing around, Reji Akaba!" Shingo said as he enter the Control room. "Shingo!? Why are you here? What are the guards doing!?" Nakajima said in shock. "My dad's influence was more than enogh for that! More importanly, what is going on!? Why aren't you showing what's going on with the Battle Royale?!" Shingo said. "You want to see it?" Reji asked. "Of course I do! I want to see hpw far the girl who beat me, Yuzu Hiiragi, gets with my own eyes!" Shingo stated. "I see..Then I'm fine with letting you just see" Reji said. "President!" Nakajima tries to protest. But Reji turns in his seat "Shingo Sawatari, would you like to take part in a revival match?" Reji asked. "A revival match?!" Shingo said in surprised, but grins in anticipation.
The sun begins to rise in the Jungle Area, but while Gongenzaka, Nagisa,Teppai and Roxy are sleeping peacefully, Yuzu sits against a tree holding the Lyrilisc-Assembled Nightingale card. "There are two souls inside of me. One of them is me and other is Ruri...It was you, wasn't it? When those guys from Academia showed up and turned Knight of Duels onto cards...I saw the tragedy of the Xyz Dimension unfold before my very eyes. The anger, that sadness drove me onto darkness. But you said said thid..." Yuzu mused as she remember what Ruri tlod her. "Those words had to have been how you truly felt! If so, then...What threw me into that rage wasn't Ruri..." Yuzu thoughed as she remembers what Nagisa said. "A dark shadow...Even I have no idea what that could be. And if that unknow thing is what threw me into that rage...!" Yuzu thought. "When you let fear get hold of you, you won't be able to do a thing. If you want to win, gather your courage and press forwards!" Yuzu remember what Yusho told her and Yuya. "That right! Don't be afraid! No matter what kind of demon may be residing in my soul...I'll believe in myself and the Ruri inside of me!" Yuzu vows. Everyone else hears her and wakes up, and Yuzu stands up, "If we combine our strenght, we'll never lose to that thing! We'll definitely win and bring Duels with smiles to the world and everyone futures! I'm not alone!" Yuzu said. Gongenzaka smiles proudly as do Nagisa and Roxy. "Everyone, it's morning! All right let's have breakfast!" Yuzu suggests.
Yuzu eats a small sandwich whole "Delicious! This is the best Roxy!" Yuzu praises Roxy. "It's just a simple little something I put together from what I could find" Roxy said. "No,it really is impressive! You're not only a strong Duellist, but also a great cook as well! You really are the best partner, Roxy!" Teppei said. "Yuzu being able to regain her spirit is also thanks to your cooking. I, the man Gongenzaka, must express my thanks. Thank you, Roxy" Gongenzaka said. "Well, I've better be off" Nagisa said as she leaves. "What's with her? Where is she going?" Teppei wonders. "I don't know...Hey, wait, she's not a participant in the Battle Royal, is she?" Roxy asked. "It's not only Nagisa. There are plenty of other Duelist not a part of the Junior Youth Championship that have invaded!" Gongenzaka said. Yuzu then remember the encounter with Sora and the Obelisk Force. "Sora was there too..."Yuzu mused. "Sora!? Sora's come back?!" Gongenzaka said in surprises. "Yeah, with those guys from Academia" Yuzu confirms.
Yuya flees through a canyon of ice, "I can't do it...I'm no match for her!" Yuya gasping. Then he flinches as he sees the shadow of a monster emerging over the top of the canyon. "You're amazing, it's already morning! The fact that you've mangaged to run away for this long is truly amazing! You have my praises" Yuya hears Serena's voice praising and commenting him. She walks up up to the top of the canyon with her monster, a purple feline monstrosity, hoving behind her "But our game of hind and seek is over. Come out. Come with me back to the Professor" Serena said. Yuya slowly backs under the outcrop, and the monster kicked its leg through the air, breaking off a piece of ice that lands next to Yuya. Startled, Yuya barely holds back a gasp, clapping his hand over his mouth. "I hope you'll come out soon..." Serena softly comments. Tears forming in his eyes "It's over! I can't get away! Help me, Yuzu!" Yuya thinks. And then his bracelet begins to glow. "What's this?" Serena asked when she was caught completely off-guard before being warped away. "Huh? It shined again?! Don't tell me Yuzu really is...?!" Yuya wonders.
But it's Rin who rockets over the canyon on her Duel Runner. Their gazes meet "Yugo!" Rin yells out. She lands, flicking her visor up "Yugo!" She yelled out again as she runs over to Yuya. Rin hugs him tightly "Great! I've missed you, Yugo!" She claimed. "H-hold on! Yugo!?" Poor Yuya said in confusion. Then he remembers Selena mentioning Yugo when she told Yuya that he was like Yuto and Yugo. He grabs Rin's head and forces it backwards "You know who Yugo is?" Yuya asked. . But when he sees that she too resembles Yuzu, he is shocked into silence. Up above Nagisa see Yuya and Rin "Huh? That' Yuya Sasaki! Why has Yuya changed his clothes? and who is that with him? I've better tell what's going on!" Nagisa said. But the outcrop that she's standing on breaks, causing Nagisa to slide down the hill, catapult into the air, and get stuck unconscious in a crevasse.
Back in the Jungle Area "Hey, Yuzu!" Dennis call out as he runs up to Yuzu abd Gongenzaka. "Dennis!" Yuzu said. "How are you doing? I just beat Yuya in a Duel!" Dennis said. "With Yuya?!" Gongenzaka said. "Where!?" Yuzu asked. "In the Volcano Area...why,what happened?" Dennis asked. There aren't just 16 of us in this Battle Royale" Gongenzaka tells him. "You're saying there's someone else here?!" Dennis asked. "Yeah! It might sound unbelieveable, but other Duelists from different dimensions have snuck in!" Yuzu tells Dennis. " Different dimensions? You can't be serious!" Dennis said. "It's the truth! There's also a friend of mine named Sora among them..." Yuzu said. "Sora..." Dennis mutters in interest. "Oh? You're friends with someone from a different dimension? Amazing!" Dennis said. "I saw the Knight of Duels taken out by them with my very own eyes!" Yuzu explains. "We can't use our communication in this field, so we can't get in touch with anyone" Gongenzaka explains. "That's why we decided to spilt up and search for everyone" Yuzu explains as she remembers separating from Roxy and Teppei. "Wow! This sound like a big deal! Yuya said he was going to the Iceberg Area! Let's go look for him!" Dennis said.
In the Iceberg Area "You want to know who Yugo is?!" Rin asked Yuya in confusion. Yuya's bracelet suddenly glows again "What the?!" Rin said. "It's shinning again!" Yuya exclamed. It warps Rin, Yuya, and Rin's Duel Runner away. The cause, Yuzu, runs with Gongenzaka and Dennis to the top of the canyon, "It's no good...It looks like Yuya..." Yuzu said. "Isn't here..." Dennis said. "Maybe he went to a different area?" Yuzu wonders. "Looks like Selena safely finished her work then. Then all that's left is..." Dennis thinks to himself in satisfaction.
In the Ancient Ruins area, Shun and Sora continue their Duel. Although Shun had 2100 LP compared to Sora's 300 and two Raidraptor - Vanishing Lanius in Attack Position and two Raidraptor - Fuzzy Lanius in Defense Position powering up his Raidraptor - Force Strix to 2100 ATK while Sora only had Fluffal Mouse and Edge Imp Sabres, both Duelists are heavily fatigued. "My turn! Hey, do you think you've already won? You're naive! I active Fluffal Mouse's effect! When I control this Attack Position monster, I can Special Summon two copies of Fluffal Mouse from my Deck! All right, let's so this!The fun has just begun! I fuse Edge Imp Sabres and my three Fluffal Mouse! Demonic claws, and sharp fangs! Become one in the mystic vortex and show us a new form and power! Fusion summon! Show yourself! Mystical jungle beast that rips everything to shreds! Frightfur Tiger! (ATK:1900) Next, I activate Frightfur Tiger's effect! I can destroy one of my oppenent's monsters for each Fusion Material used in this card's Fusion Summon!" Sora yelled out. "What!?" Shun gasp in horror. Since Sora used four Fusion Materials, he destroys four cards – all of Shun's "Vanishing Lanius" and "Fuzzy Lanius", the blades of "Tiger" extending and slicing the Raidraptors into pieces. "And now, the last Force Strix's ATK returns to normal. Right?" Sora said. Shun grits his teeth in panic. Behind Shun, Yuri runs up the stairs, stopping and gasping for breath. "Frightfur Tiger's ATK increases by 300 for each "Frightfur" and "Fluffal" monster I control! (Frightfur Tiger's ATK: 2200) This is then end! Go, Battle! Frightfur Tiger,attack Force Strix! Sent Shun...this Xyz renment to his grave!" Sora shouted. "Shun!?" Yuri gasps in shock as "Tiger" grabs "Force Strix" and violently beheads it. The shockwave blasts Shun off his feet and he yells in shock as he falls past the shocked Yuri, down the temple steps, and finally hits the ground, his LP falling to zero as Yuri looks on in horror.
