Chapter 29: Sora's Secret Part 1

At the Paradise City Hospital.

Sora was in the recovery room resting.

"Poor Sora." Zuzu said sadly. "He'll alright, the doctors will make sure of it." Mr Boyle said sharing the sad face. "That was so scary, its not everyday someone gets injured in a duel." Ally added.

Yuya clinched his hand into a fist. "(This is all Shay's fault.)"

At the LID Lounge.

Katt was walking down the hallway. "(What did Shay spare that kid, he almost had him.)" She thought making a cat like hiss. "I must contact Yuto and inform him."

She took out her duel disk. "Yuto, come in, this is Katt."

She got no answer. "Yuto, answer me, come in!"

Still no answer.

(He must've seen Shay's duel which means...)" She thought as she quickly made her way to the entrance doors.

Two LID security guard then saw her. "Hey, you get back here!"

Katt then was chased by security guard but another behind a corner of lounge she was grabbed by her tail. "You're not going anywhere, young lady."

Katt then made a cat hiss and kicked Leo security guard in the stomach hard with her foot. "Ooh!" The guard groaned as he put his hands on his stomach in pain and the other security guard came running but Katt took off her red glove off her left hand revealing cat like claws, and given the guard a swipe on his face. "Oww!" This gave Katt the chance to escape and she ran out the LID main entrance.

At the Declan's office.

"We just got word about Sora's conditon, he took a beaten but he should recover." Claude explained. "Good, I have so many questions I want to ask him that need answering." Declan said who was sitting on his chair and turned his head around. "When he meds bring him to me and his duel disk too."

"Right." Claude replied as he turned away to leave.

Just then the two security guards came limping in the door of Declan's office. "Hey, security guard what happened?" Claude asked as he prevent the 1st LID guard from falling on the floor but the second collapsed on the floor. Declan abruptly got up from his sit. "That cat girl...escaped...we...tried to...stop...her..but..she fought back..." The guard said slowly as he fainted.

"Argh, this is Claude, send the team to find..." Claude to began to say in his cellphone as he felt a hand on his shoulder. "No, let her go, we might cause a scene if the LID elite team goes to find her." Declan said.

At the Dojo.

Jenna was cleaning some dishes in the kitchen. "(It doesn't make sense why did Shay sparr Sora when he's the enemy, well at least my friend is okay.)"

She then heard a ring on her duel disk and answered. "Hello this is Jenna, over."

"This is Katt, I tried to contact Yuto but he didn't answer me so I escaped from the LID." The cat girl answered as her friend gasped. "I think I know where he went."

at the harbor and inside the warehouse.

"This is wrong, why did Shay spare that kid?" Maria asked angrily. "He had him right where he wanted and he almost sealed but he didn't." Raptor said sharing his comrade's anger. "Shay was going to but it looks like someone didn't want him to." Sibella said. "What do you mean?" Maria asked. "The way he was looking at his duel disk, its possible someone was speaking to him, then telling him to not to seal that brat." The vampire girl replied. "If that's the case then who?" Leonardo asked.

"Hmm, do you think Yuto stopped him?" Raptor asked. "Hey, Yuto wouldn't do that." Maria spat. "He knows that kid is the enemy."

Leonardo heard his duel disk ring.

"Who is calling me?" He asked as she answered the caller. "This is Leonardo, over."

"Its me Jenna, I just got a call from Katt, she said that she tried to contact Yuto but he never answered." Jenna answered. "What?" The blue haired boy asked in shock. "Alright, we'll be on our way, as for you look for Yuto, if you find him call me back."

"Alright, I'm leaving the Dojo, over and out." Jenna replied. She ran out the Dojo school but not before leaving a note and activated her jet pack then flying off.

"you guys, we got a problem." The angel girl said. "Katt tried contact Yuto but he wouldn't answer her."

"Why, didn't he?" Sibella asked. "I think I have one theory, he must've gone to confront Sora." Maria answered as her friends gasp in shock. "If that's the case we need to go find him!" Sibella said.

Leonardo stepped in. "Listen up you guys, Raptor you stay here with Sibella, while the rest of us look for Yuto."

"Oh man, I wanted to go find that brat." Raptor groaned. "Me too." Sibella said in frustation. "Maria, you look around the west side of the city while I check on the east side." Leonardo ordered.

At time later at the hospital at night.

"So what's your take?" Yuya asked as Zuzu looks at him. "On Shay taken on the LID and working with them, its like he did a 1,89 and nobody battered an eye."

"I know I wish I knew what was going, first Julia tries to track him down for defeating her teacher, and then she's cool with him, those being teammates are strange." Zuzu commented. "That's crazy and Gong don't like crazy." Gong said. "That's not even the craziest thing, a friend of Shay told me something." Zuzu said.

A flashback scene.

"We have enemies, one of friends was taken away by them." Yuto explained.

end of flashback scene.

"How is attacking a duel school going to get a friend back?" Yuya asked. "This is like jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces and Gong don't like missing pieces, so what are the facts?" Gong asked. "Its not much to go on but Yuto told me this." Zuzu said.

At the hospital.

Yuto was walking in the hallway.

Back in the front of the hospital.

"Weird there's a guy that looks like me and whenever I show up Zuzu's bracelet glows." Yuya said. "Say what?" Gong asked in confuse. "Does that you mean knew and didn't bother telling us about who really attacked Sylvio?"

"Don't tell me you doubted Yuya?!" Gong asked angrily. "That's not it, but he disappears every time Yuya shows up and he got a resemblance that's un-caddy." Zuzu replied.

"So Yuya's got twin that can do magic tricks?" Gong asked. They looked at Yuya when they noticed something must've occurred to him. "Well that doesn't fill in much about what is going on." Yuya said. "Well Yuto did tell me something else." Zuzu answered as her friends looked at her.

At the hospital.

Yuto went into the recovery room Sora was sleeping in.

Sora began to open his eyes and saw what he thought was Yuya. "Yuya?" He began to ask. "Where is Lulu?" Yuto asked as Sora awakened.

Outside the hospital.

"Wait so the Fusion Summoning is the way of the enemies that what Yuto mentioned to you?" Gong asked as Zuzu nodded. "That must be why Shay went bonkers in his duel against Sora, he might think he's the enemy cause he uses Fusion cards." Yuya pointed out. "You guys don't think Sora is a bad guy or did either of you both even ask where he learned his Fusion Summoning?

"No we didn't ask where he learned it." Zuzu replied. "Other than that we saw a sight of our friend we've never seen before." Yuya added. "If Sora is mixed up in all this, then he must have a connection." Gong pointed out.

Yuya remembed what Sora said back in his duel.

"Poor Shay still thinking you have a chance, well here's a reality check." Sora said taken a bite out of his lollipop. "You're going to lose its the one thing you and friends are good at, isn't that right when we attacked your hometown you nor your friends were a match for us and you're not match for me now!"

"There's definitely something going on between them, Zuzu if you know anything else now is the time." Yuya said as Zuzu looked at them.

A short time later.

"So let me get this straight, Shay's got a sister and he's trying to save her?" Gong asked. "Yes, Yuto told me that." Zuzu replied. "If that's the case then Shay and Yuto might go after Sora until they know that this sister of Shay is safe." Yuya said.

"Also I remember meeting more comrades of Yuto and Shay." Zuzu said. "Really who?" Gong asked. "Back then when Sylvio was attacked there was pink haired girl that came crashing to the window." Zuzu explained. "How can someone like this girl break through a glass window?" Yuya asked. "However Sylvio did mention something about a long pink haired girl at the start before we dueled."

"Yeah, this might sound strange but that pink haired girl seemed to have fangs in her mouth." Zuzu replied. "Fangs, what kind of fangs?" Gong asked. Zuzu hesitated to answer for a second. "I'm not quite sure but her fangs looked like vampire fangs."

Yuya and Gong gasped in shock. "What, how can that possible?" Gong asked in shock. "I asked Yuto if she was what I think she is but he wouldn't tell me but I did meet two more at the docks a week ago, one was blued haired boy named Leonardo and some white haired young girl named Maria." Zuzu replied. "They didn't seem very friendly towards Sora either."

At the hospital.

"I don't know a Lulu, so just beat it!" Sora answered turning his head away. "No give me an answer now." Yuto said in demanding voice. "Answers, fine if she's one of your Xyz buddies you'll never see her again." Sora replied. "Why is that?" Yuto asked. "There'd be no way to get her back, that's how it works with us." Sora replied.

"Now where is he?" Sora asked. "Who do you mean?" Yuto asked. "Shay, I got a score to settle with him, give him to me!" Sora ordered as he got out of bed and grabbed his duel disk.

"There isn't a score to be settled, he already defeated you." Yuto said as he gave the kid a cold stare. "Wrong, its not possible that an Xyz Summoner like defeated me, its not possible, but I'll prove it you and everyone!"

"What's going in there?" A voice rang out. "Visiting hours are over." Another voice said.

In the doorway came two security guards and one noticed Yuto. "How'd you get in here?"

Yuto dashed between them. "Hey, get back here!" Sora called out. "Now calm down." One of guards said. "NO!" Sora screamed as he knocked down the two guards with swift punches.

Just the more security guards showed up near inside the entrance. "Wonder what's going in there?" Gong asked. "He escaped, I must contact headquarters." one of the guards said which made Yuya and his friends gasp.

At the LID.

"Sir, I dispatched the team, they're scouting the entire city, we'll find Sora Perse." Claude said. "No, we're a middle of a tourmanet, call the team back." Declan ordered. "We'll lose Sora." Claude replied. "We won't we'll use our security cameras, he won't hide from those." Declan said.

At the hospital.

"My dad says he'll be here soon." Zuzu said. "Sora is still injured we need to find him quickly, Gong suggests we split up, Gong will head to the docks." Gong said. "I'll check out the east side." Yuya said. "I'll check out the west." Zuzu said.

Sora entered the Paradise City Park.

"Its the city park." A employee said. "Send our team there." Claude ordered. "Hold on." Declan said as he saw Sora stop catching his breath and noticing he was looking at something. "Direct the camera to where Sora is looking at."

The camera pointed to a theater set and there was Yuto. "Is that..." Claude began to ask as the person turned around and revealed his face. "Its Yuya."

"No." Shay said as Claude and Declan turned to face the Xyz Summoner. "That's Yuto."

"Who's Yuto?" The Leo president asked. "He's a friend of mine and one that will save us all." Shay replied. "Its funny, I had my suspicions that two Xyz Summoners were attacking my LID students, it was you and this Yuto fella." Declan said in realization. "I still can't get over it that Yuto looks identical to Yuya." Claude commented.

Riley was shaken and Declan noticed it.

"Bring Shay here!" Sora ordered. "What's the point, you're not match for him." Yuto pointed out. "Wrong, its him that'd be more match for me, we Fusion Summoners hunt you down not the other way around, you, Shay, and this Lulu person are nothing an annoying spec to my people." Sora pointed out rudely. "I can prove it if you don't believe me, by defeating me in a duel right here and now, you'd better accept cause even though I don't know much about this Lulu girl, if my people do have her then there's only one way to get her back safe and sound.

"Tell me." Yuto said in demand. "Finally, we getting some where." Shay said. "By defeating me and more of us Fusion Summoners, but the only one being defeated is you." Sora explained.

Shay turned to leave. "Don't go." Claude said.

"Why?" Shay asked as he turned and look over his shoulder. "Because we have deal and second you'll cause a scene, my goal is to find duelists strong enough face my father, so I want you leave this Yuto." Declan said.

Yuto activated his duel disk. "So you won't give me Shay, fine then I can use a warm up." Sora said as took out his lollipop. "I'll defeat you, Shay, and any other friends of yours that are still around."

"Not happening, I'm ending this now, and I'm going to rescue Lulu." Yuto said.

"DUEL!" Yuto and Sora proclaimed.

Yuto: 4000

Sora: 4000

"I'll draw first, here it goes!" Sora proclaimed drawing his card. "I summon Edge Imp Tomhawk in attack mode!"

Edge Imp Tomhawk Level 4 Attack 1800

"I activate its special ability by sending an Edge Imp monster to the graveyard from my hand, you take 800 points of damage." Sora explained as he send his monster card to the graveyard.

An energy blast hit Yuto and send him into a wall.

Yuto: 3200

"That'll do for now." Sora said.

Jenna was flying on her jetpack device and saw from afar that Sora was dueling Yuto. "This is not good, I must contact my friends."

Leonardo looking around the streets in the west got a call on his duel disk. "Who's calling?"

"Its me Jenna, Yuto is at the city park dueling Sora." Jenna answered. "Its at the west side, I'm given the location to you."

Leonardo looked at his duel disk. "I'm not too far away, listen go keep an eye on Sibella with Raptor at the harbor in the meantime I'll contact Katt or Maria."

"Alright then, over and out." Jenna said as she flew away.

At the Leo control room.

"Looks like Sora up to a strong start." Claude said. "Not strong enough, from the way this duel is going there's no way that Yuto will lose." Shay said.

Riley was still shaken and then he felt his brother's hand on his shoulder. "Watch this closely."

Riley looked back at the duel between Sora and Yuto on screen.

Yuto got up on his feet.

"Regretting this, if you call up Shay then I'll let him take your place." Sora said. "Not happening, I draw." Yuto proclaimed as he drew his card. "I summon The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak!"

The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak Level 3 Attack 800

"That's all you got by summoning a monster with 800 attack points, I expected this from an Xyz Summoner." Sora commented. "Prepare to for the unexpected then, see my Knights don't fight alone, when Phantom Knight is on my field I can Special Summon The Phantom Knight of Silent Boots!"

The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots Level 3 Attack 300

"Hah, I see where this going, you're going to Xyz Summon, right?"Sora asked. "I Overlay my level 3 Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak and Phantom Knights of Silent Boots in order to built the Overlay Network, and Xyz Summon the Phantom Knights of Break Sword!"

Phantom Knights of Break Sword Rank 3 Attack 2000

"Awesome, I can wait to destroy it." Sora commented. "That won't be happening, Break Sword destroy Edge Imp Tomhawk!" Yuto commanded as his Knight slashed its sword on the Imp monster and destroyed it.

Sora: 3800

"I now place two cards facedown and end my turn." Yuto said.

"That's all then, too bad." Sora said.

Katt was looking around the west too just then she felt a ring on her duel disk. "Come in, this Katt."

"Its me Leonardo, Jenna says she spotted Yuto in the park dueling Sora, we must get there now." Leonardo answered. "Alright, I'm on my way, meow." Katt replied.

Meanwhile in the east of the city.

Maria was walking down the sidewalk. "This is bad, I hope Yuto is alright."

At the harbor.

Raptor was watching Sibella who was resting on the crate that was inside in the warehouse. "I hope Yuto will be alright." Sibella said worriedly. "Relax, Yuto can handle that runt." Raptor said.

Then he heard a knock and then got a call on his duel disk. "Yes, come in, this Raptor."

"Its Jenna, I just left the Dojo but Leonardo called me to keep an eye Sibella." Jenna replied. "So let me in."

Raptor opened the door and Jenna came inside.

Meanwhile Yuya was running and calls Zuzu. "Hello Zuzu, I looked everywhere in the east side but no sign of Sora."

"Yeah, and I had no luck either, what gives, where did he go off to?" Zuzu asked. "Don't know but we need to keep looking." Yuya said as he hung up.

"So you busted out an Xyz Summon, I'll show what a real summoning is like, here it goes!" Sora proclaimed as he drew a card and looked at it which was a trap. "I'm activating this sweet Spell card: Polymerization!"

Yuto and Shay were then shocked seeing that spell. "With it, I fuse my Fluffal Bear and my Edge Imp Sabres, Edge of sharpness, fury of bear when the two come together you have beware, I Fusion Summon, here it comes its the most unbearable monster you've ever seen, it truly is cut above the rest, Frightfur Bear!"

Yuya finally found Sora with his Frightfur Bear and he looked to the direction where he was looking at.

"Whoa, that must be Yuto, the guy that Zuzu was talking about." Yuya said. "How weird he looks a lot like me."

"Time for me to do some pounding, attack take out Break Sword with Plumming Paw!" Sora commanded as his Bear monster pounded the Phantom Knight and destroyed it.

Yuto: 3000

"Thank you that's just want I needed cause Break Sword's ability activates which allows me to Special Summon the monsters that I used to Xyz Summon it, only this time their levels increase by 1." Yuto explained.

Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak Level 3-4 Attack 800

Phantom Knights of Silent Boots Level 3-4 Attack 200

"Do you get now Sora, strike down all my monsters but they'll rise again just the Resistance over you and your Fusion Punks!" Yuto explained loudly. "Whoa, Zuzu was right, he doesn't like Fusion Summoners." Yuya said.

"Now thanks to Frightfur Bear's ability it can devour the monster it destroyed and gains its attack points." Sora explained as the Phantom Knight was swallowed by Frightfur Monster.

Frightfur Bear Attack 2200-4200

"Guess you were wrong cause the only thing rising is my Frightfur Bear's power." Sora said. "So Xyz Summon all you want cause Frightfur Bear will chop it up, I can wait to see what else you have in store, so show me, for I end my turn with a facedown."

"Alright, I draw!" Yuto proclaimed as he drew his card. "First things first, I Overlay the now Level 4 Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak and Phantom Knights of Silent Boots again." Yuto said.

"Hah, you're doing it again." Sora said with a chuckle. "Cloaked shadows, relatedness in its objective, I call upon the most dangerous of Dragons, I Xyz Summon!" Yuto proclaimed as Yuya watched closely but was blinded by the light. "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon Rank 4 Attack 2500

"An Xyz Dragon, this just got real." Yuya said. "Say what's the point of bringing out a monster that is weaker than my Frightfur Bear cause it'll just get destroyed." Sora said.

"Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon's ability by using one Overlay Unit your Frightfur Bear loses half of its attack points until the end of this turn." Yuto explained as the Fusion Monster was covered in electric bind.

Frightfur Bear Attack 4200-2100

"Now that amount is added to Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon." Yuto added.

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon Attack 2500-4600

"(Uh oh, if he uses that last Overlay Unit then Bear's attack points will be cut in half again and added to that Xyz Dragon.)" Sora thought worriedly. "(Yuto has this in the bag, all he has to do is use that Overlay Unit and Sora will lose.)" Yuya thought who was also worried.

"Now I attack!" Yuto proclaimed. "What?" Sora and Yuya asked at the same time.

"Take down Frightfur Bear, Falling Mandible Charge!" Yuto commanded as his Dragon charged with its tusks and destroyed Frightfur Bear.

Sora was sent flying away.

"That was just like when Sora dueled Shay, its like the damage was real." Yuya said.

Sora: 1300

"With that I end my turn and Dark Rebellion Dragon's attack points return to normal." Yuto explained.

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon Attack 4600-2500

"Sora!" Yuya called out as he approached his friend. "Well its Yuya Sasaki." Declan said.

Just then Leonardo and Katt arrived. "Its Yuto." Katt said as she saw Yuya and Sora. "Meow, that guy over looks like Yuto." Katt said. "That's so weird." Leonardo said observing the Duetainer's identity.

Yuya bended down. "Are you alright?"

"Go away this doesn't concern you!" Sora said. "It does, you shouldn't be dueling in your condition." Yuya said.

Yuto gave Sora a cold stare. "That punk he could've used that last Overlay Unit to defeat me but he didn't, and now he'll regret he didn't, I must keep fighting." Sora said angrily as he got up on his feet. "No way, you're done enough of this." Yuya demanded.

"Back off, you need to understand I got to do this, so I can prove myself." Sora said.

"Man that kid is such a sore loser." Leonardo said looking annoyed. "Look Sora, you can prove it later next time." Yuya said. "There isn't, in a duel like this there's no next time." Sora said as he turned to his attention to Yuto.

"Sora is right." Yuto said as Yuya turned to face his look alike. "However I am merciful, so if Sora surrenders I will spare him, so let me what I need to know or I'll force an answer from you and make sure that this duel is your last."

Yuya realized that his look alike was threating his friend. "Hey what's that mean, what are you planning to do to Sora?"

Yuto didn't answer and just gave the same cold stare. "Look, enough is enough, I want you and Shay to stop targeting at him!" Yuya demanded angrily.

Katt was starting to get angry a she made hissing sounds which Leonardo heard.

"We didn't start this, if this wouldn't be happening if they didn't attack us and took Lulu from us!" Yuto snapped. "Lulu?" Yuya asked in confuse yet he was still angry. "If you're smart then you'll leave us and let me get my answers from Sora."

Sora gritted his teeth and Yuya then saw an image of Shay.

"Forget it I won't leave, and I won't you harm Sora than you already have!" Yuya shouted angrily. "Which is why I'm joining this duel!"

"So am I!" A voice rang out it was Katt who went on the right side of Yuto. "Hey, you're that cat girl I saw at the opening ceremony!" Yuya exclaimed. "Yes, I won't let someone like you threaten Yuto like that so I'm here for him!" Katt shouted angrily as she hissed.

"I'll assist you guys too!" Another voice rang out it was Leonardo who stood on the left side of Yuto. "Yeah its you again!" Sora exclaimed. "You know this guy? Yuya asked. "I met him at the harbor a week go."

Yuya turned to face Yuto and his comrades. "Then bring it on!" He shouted angrily as he put his duel disk on.

"Meow!" Katt said as she put her duel disk on. "I'm going to enjoy taken down you Fusion Punks." Leonardo said as he put his duel disk on.
