Chapter 36: A Plan and Awakening Smiles Part 1
Shay was escorted by Misty to her apartment room and he followed inside to her living room.
He amazed by cleaning living room it was big with fireplace, piano, and big wide window which had a good view of part of the city.
"This quite the sight." He said looking out the window. "I have to admit, you got a very big place to live in."
Misty giggled cutely. "Its not bad I guess of course it gets lonely sometimes, but I think its time we start our meeting, so sit down."
Shay sat on the living room chair and Misty brought two tea cups and teapot.
"Anyway I came here to ask you to help me." She said pouring tea in one of the tea cups. "But before I get to that my request I have a question."
"What is it?" Shay asked. "Is it true that you and these Lancers came from a different dimension?" The Super Model asked.
Shay gasped a bit. "If you're wondering how I found that out I watched your duel against Dennis Macfield like where he's really from, what he did, and seeing how stressed you were about your sister Lulu."
Shay remembered how he was angry at Dennis not just being from Fusion Dimension but also playing role Lulu's capture.
"Yes the Lancers and I came from different dimensions, Yuya, Moon Shadow, Zuzu Boyle, Gong, Sylvio, and Riley came from Standard." Shay answered. "While Katt, Sibella, raptor, two other friends and I came from the Xyz Dimension."
"Xyz, is that same summoning method that you use?" Misty asked as Shay nodded. "If I have to guess Dennis and Celina are the Fusion Dimension, right?"
"Correct." Shay replied. "Dennis was working undercover so he must've used Xyz Summoning to hide his identity but my friends and I got suspicious, hearing that he helped capture my sister was so..."
The Raidraptor Xyz Summoner clenched his hand then he felt a hand touch it.
Misty looked in his eyes. "I know how you feel."
Shay was surprised by this but was curious. "Really, how do you know I feel about my sister kidnapping?"
Misty took out her locket and opened it revealing her picture of herself and her brother. "Who's that?" Shay asked.
"This is brother Toby." She replied as she hung her head down a bit. "He was my little brother and I haven't see him since he told me about a duel he just watched."
Shay gasped at what he was hearing.
"What happened to him?" He asked looking very curious.
Meanwhile in the Commons next to Crow's house with the Action Field Spell: Crossover Acceleration activated with a many platforms above leading to other down.

Edge Imp Saw Attack 1100
Sora's Hand: Cx4
"When this monster is summmoned successfully I can draw two cards but first I have to send a Fluffal Monster to the graveyard from my I hand." Sora explained sending his Fluffal Sheep to his Graveyard.
He then drew two cards.
Cx6
"Then I activate the Spell: Polymerization!"
Leonardo and Katt's face had angered looks at the spell card they loath.
"I fuse Fluffal Lion and Saw Edge Imp, king of the jungle and saw edge combine your powers into one to create a Frightfur Monster, I Fusion Summon: Frightfur Leo!"
Frightfur Leo Level 6 Attack 2400
"I end my turn." Sora added.

"I Summon Jungle Black Cat in attack mode!" She proclaimed

"Next I play the spell: Cry of the Cat, I give up 500 life points!"
Katt: 3500
"I can take Level 4 or lower monster with cat in its name from my deck and Special Summon it!" Katt explained taking a Cat monster from her deck. "Come out Demon Cat!"
A cat with horns on its head and glowing red eyes appeared.
Demon Cat Level 4 Attack 1000
"Demon Cat's ability activates when this darkness feline summoned to the field using a card effect I'm allowed Special Summon another Cat monster from my hand so Stray Dark Ally Cat prepare to bounce!"
Stray Dark Ally Cat Level 4 Attack 300
"She's got three Level 4 monsters!" Zuzu exclaimed in worry.
"Now I overlay all my three felines to built the Overlay Network!"
Her cats disfugiured into energy and went up to the Overlay Network.
"I will call upon a feline with Demoness look and it'll give my enemies a serious punishment, I Xyz Summon: Demon Cat Lady!"
Demon Cat Lady Rank 4 Attack 2000
"Now I activate its special ability by using one Overlay Unit it places a Curse Counter a monster on my opponents field!" Katt explained.
Demon Cat Lady created a dark stream energy and it covered Frightfur Leo.
"What is a Curse counter?" Zuzu asked looking worried about her teacher.
"Just wait and see." Katt answered looking at her remaining cards she had. "(Not bad, this trap should come in handy, but I'll hold on to it for later.)"
Katt's Hand: Cx4
"I'm up then, draw!" Zuzu proclaimed drawing from her deck.
Zuzu Hand: Cx6
"From my I hand I summon Canon the Melodious Diva!"
Canon the Melodious Diva Level 4 Attack 1400
"I activate Demon Cat Lady's hidden ability!" Katt declared in fury showing her cat fangs.
"Hidden ability?" Zuzu said looking puzzled yet worried. "This can't be good." Sora muttered in worry.
"Whenever my opponent Normal or Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Beast, Beast-Warrior, Reptile, or Fairy Type monster the controller loses life points to half of that monster's attack points." Katt explained.
Demon Cat Lady unleashed a dark energy beam and blasting Zuzu.
"AAAAH!" She screamed as she was knocked away. "Zuzu!" Sora panicked seeing his student rolled across the ground.
Zuzu: 3300
"That felt real." She muttered in pain and getting back on her feet slowly. "(Sora wasn't kidding they really mean business.)"
"(If I Special or Normal any of my Fluffals that are Beast types then I'll lose life points too.)" Sora thought nervously. "(We must focus on destroying Demon Cat Lady before it takes away more of our life points.)" Zuzu thought getting her balance steady.
Zuzu noticed the look on her teacher's face but kept her focus then managed to stand up. "I end my turn."
Cx5
"Its my move, DRAW!" Leonardo declared in fury as impact of breeze blow at the two Fusion Users.
Leonardo: 4000
Cx6
"I activate the Spell: Beast Guardian Treasure Box, by sending two cards to graveyard I can add two Beast Guardian monsters to my hand." Leonardo explained sending two cards from his hand to the graveyard then drew two more cards.
Leonardo's Hand: Cx5
"I Summon out Beast Guardian Lion Cub in attack mode!"
Beast Guardian Lion Cub Level 4 Attack 500
"When this monster is summoned I can Special summon another Beast Guardian from my hand." Leonardo explained as he took a monster from his hand. "I chose Beast Guardian Wild Hog!"
Beast Guardian Wild Hog Level 4 Attack 700
"He's got two Level 4 Monsters!" Sora exclaimed in worry.
"Now I overlay my Beast Guardian Lion Cub and Wild Hog to built the Overlay Network, now with the Beast of the lion and charging tusks of the wild hog together you both will create new beast that'll make our enemies beg for mercy, I Xyz Summon: Beast Guardian Lio King of the Forest!"
Beast Guardian Lio King of the Forest Rank 4 Attack 2500
"That's one strong looking Lion King." Sora commented looking nervous.
"I activate my Lion's special ability by using one Overlay Unit it gains half of the attack points of one Special Summoned monster on my opponent's field until the end of my turn!" Leonardo declared in fury.
"Uh oh." Zuzu said nervously.
"I chose Frightfur Leo." Leonardo added pointing at the Frightfur lion monster.
Beast Guardian Lio King of the Forest Attack 2500-3700
"Its got more attack points." Zuzu said nervously. "(He could attack Zuzu or me.)" Sora thought nervously.
"Beast Guardian Lio attack that Frightfur Leo with your Beast Mega Slash!" Leonardo commanded in fury.
Leo was slashed by Beast Guardian Lio's sharp claws on its left human like hand.
Sora covered his face with his arms from the explosion.
Sora: 2500
Leo wasn't destroyed. "What's the deal?" Sora asked in surprise. "My Leo is still on the field."
"My Curse Counter that my Dark Demon Cat Lady placed on your monster is the reason." Katt answered. "See whenever a monster has a Curse Counter it can't destroyed in battle."
Sora and Zuzu gasped at the bizzare move.
"What is the point of it?" Sora asked looking confused.
"In due time twerp." Leonardo answered. "For now I end my turn."
Leonardo's Hand: Cx3
"(There must more than to that Curse Counter.)" Sora thought looking worried.
"(Judging from Sora's face he looks worried.)" Zuzu thought glancing at her friend's face. "Come on, get it together!"
Leonardo smirked at this. "(Looks like the elite member is getting cold feet.)"
"(Hee, hee, that brat won't like if he tries to activate his Leo's ability, heh, heh.)" Katt giggling quietly.
"I draw!" Sora proclaimed drawing from his deck.
Cx4
"I activate my Frightfur Leo's ability once per turn it can destroy a monster on my opponents field and deal damage equal to that monster's attack points!"
Frightfur Leo couldn't move and it was covered in a dark aura which made the Frightfur Lion creature groan in pain.
"Hey, what gives?" Sora asked.
"My Curse Counter has another effect you should know now." Katt answered. "See whenever a monster is placed with a Dark Counter it can't only not be destroyed in battle but its ability is canceled plus can't change battle mode or attack."
"NO WAY!" Sora exclaimed in shock. "This can't be happening!"
"What's the matter, getting cold feet?" Katt said giggling amusingly at the Fusion child's panic.
Sora gritted his teeth at cat girl's words.
"This duel probably is starting to remind you how badly Shay was kicking your butt." She added with a creepy grin. "It was probably embarrassing for you to get your butt kicked in front of your friends from You Show."
"Well that must've been the most embarrasing defeat your dueling career." Leonardo added chuckling. "After Shay defeated you on that day you wanted to get revenge on him so you chased our friend Yuto when he questioned you about Lulu."
"Yes, doing that made your friends Yuya, Zuzu, and Gong go searching for you." Katt added with suddened anger. "You injured my Yuto and then dragged Yuya into your match despite that he wanted you to go back to the hospital!"
Zuzu saw her teacher and friend hung his head down with guilt.
"That caused another problem, when Yuto went missing, my friends saw Yuya's summon Yuto's dragon which convinced them he must've done something to him!" Leonardo shouted with a hated glare "After the second round of the Arc League was over we confronted Yuya at You Show!"
Sora gasped in shock.
"That's right, also Sibella was determined to get Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon back!" Katt added angrily. "I was told that she challenged Yuya but then Mr Boyle, Zuzu's father stepped in."
Sora gasped in more with a widen face.
"That's right, Zuzu's father dueled against Sibella unfortunately he lost then met an unexpected fate." Leonardo added with a smirk.
"It was because of your selfish actions that everyone in the Standard including your friend's teacher suffered!" Katt added angrily. "Even my dear Yuto!"
Sora backed away shaking his head remembering the damage he caused with Obelisk Force they all carded a few duelists.
"(How could I be so selfish after one loss to an Xyz Summoner.)" He thought looking guilty and his eyes twitching. "(Its all my fault, I shouldn't have chased after Yuto and dueled him, that's when Yuya found me.)"
A flashback scene.
"I need to prove that I'm better than him!" Sora yelled struggling to stand up. "Look Sora, you can prove it later another time!" Yuya spatted.
linebreak.
"(After I refused things got even worse.)" Sora thought his eyes twitching more and his eyes were slightly open.
Flashback continues.
"Tell me what I need to know or I'll forced make sure that this duel is your last one." Yuto said impatiently.
"What does that mean, what are you planning to do to Sora?!" Yuya asked angrily.
Flashback ends.
"(Yuya got angry and he stepped in to protect me but his two friends arrived, all three were very skilled.)" Sora thought with guilty look on his face as tears were starting to form. "(Now I'm hearing that Zuzu's father was hurt badly by Sibella, its all my fault everyone in Standard even the competitors in the Arc League, Trout and Reed Pepper, everyone that was competing was carded.)"
Sora's eyes started to shed tears as he fell on his knees. "(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.)"
Zuzu was shocked to see her teacher starting to cry but turned her attention to Katt and Leonardo with a furious look.
"You guys need to give him a break!" She yelled angrily. "Sora just made a mistake, he is my friend, I know he won't do anything like that again!"
Sora rises his head. "(Zuzu, she's angry too.)" He thought as he got up on his feet slowly. "That's...enough."
Zuzu heard this and stopped. "Please Zuzu don't get angry, they're right, my selfish actions caused suffering in the Standard Dimension and if I listen to Yuya in the first place about going back to the hospital then Principal Boyle neither would the duelists in Standard wouldn't have gotten carded." Sora said looking guilty. "Don't give into your anger cause it won't do any good."
"Sora." Zuzu said quietly looking down at the ground. "(He's right, I can't give into my anger cause I'm still determined to help those two even now things are looking bad so I must do what I can until my next turn.)"
Sora stood up straight confidently.
"Its still my move, I activate the Spell: Fusion Constription, with this I can add Monster to my hand that's Fusion Material." He explained as his Fluffal Bear was added to his hand.
Sora's Hand: Cx4
"Next I activate the Continuous Spell: Frighfur Factory, by banishing Polymerization from my graveyard, I can Fusion Summon another Frightfur monster!"
Fluffal Bear and Edge Sabre Imp appeared and began to fuse together.
"Now my stuff bear and the Edge of sharpness, combine your powers to form another new Frightfur Monster!"
His monsters fused together created a big shining light.
"I Fusion Summon: Frightfur Bear!"
Frightfur Bear Level 6 Attack 2200
"Now Frightfur Bear attack Demon Cat Lady!" Sora commanded.
His Bear swung its big paw.
Katt then looked up and saw an Action Card on one of the floating platforms.
She then leaped up one few platforms leading to the Action card and snatched it. "Not so fast Fusion brat, I activate the Action Spell: Miracle, which not only prevent my Demon Cat Lady from being destroyed."
The Demon Cat Lady was whammed by the Bear's big paw.
"It also cuts the damage I take in half." Katt added.
Katt: 3250
"Rats!" Sora groaned in frustration.
"Did you think I would let you destroy my monster that easily?" Katt asked with a grin.
Sora was confused at what she was meant. "What do you mean?"
"I knew you would pull out another Fusion Summon and I'm aware when Frightfur Bear destroys a Monster in battle it equips that monster and gains it attack points." Katt replied with a straight.
"If you and Zuzu want to defeat us then you and her are going to have to do better." Leonardo added coldly. "Otherwise we wasted our time with you both."
Sora's eyes twitched violently.
"I end my turn." He said gritting his teeth.
Sora's Hand: Cx2
"(Sora is getting frustrated, please don't get worked up.)" Zuzu thought looking very worried.
Sora noticed his student's face so he took a deep breath.
"I draw then!" Katt proclaimed drawing from her deck.
Katt's Hand: Cx5
"(I have feeling Zuzu will Fusion Summon on her next turn which I hope she does.)"
She then looked at the cards in her hand with a grin. "(So far I got good cards but I better hold on to them later.)"
Katt looked at the Fusion Duelists. "I end my turn."
"That's all!" Sora exclaimed in confused then got really frustrated. "(She must be planning something and I refuse to let them hurt Zuzu.)"
"(This isn't good if Sora doesn't keep his cool he'll lose like when he dueled against Shay.)" Zuzu thought worriedly.
She put her right hand on her deck. "(I must keep my cool too if I want to prove those two that dueling is about having fun and making people smile then I need to duel with my Dueltaining skills just like Yuya would.)"
She then glanced at Sora with a determined look which he noticed. "(I can't do it alone and I need Sora to realize that.)"
Sora shook his head. "(I have to get a grip on myself I can't act the way I did when I dueled Shay for the first time otherise it'll be over from me and Zuzu.)"
Zuzu had a faint smile. "I DRAW!"
Back at the stadium.
Yuya was sitting in his cell.
"Sora I'm counting on you." He said clenching his right hand. "You have to keep Zuzu safe from Roget because the sooner we leave the sooner we can't stop this fighting."
Just then he heard some footsteps.
"Director, I got something you should know." It was a Sector Security officer.
This got Yuya to stand up and walk quietly to listen.
At Roget's office.
"What is it, that you're reporting?" The Director asked.
"Three Security officers found four duelists in a Tag Duel next to a Commons house." The Security officer replied.
"(There's a Tag Duel in the Commons.)" Yuya thought looking surrpised. "(Who are the duelists thar are Tag Dueling?)"
"Did they identify them?" Roget asked.
"Yes, one pair is the two duelists Zuzu Boyle and Sora." The Security officer replied.
Yuya was shocked at what he heard. "(Sora and Zuzu are in a Tag Duel, but who they are dueling against?)"
"How interesting." Roget said scratching underneath his chin with his hand looking quite curious. "Who are their opponents?"
"Their opponents are Leonardo and Katt." The Security Officer reported.
"(What, Leonardo and Katt are dueling against Sora and Zuzu!?)" Yuya thought in shock.
This got Yuya even more worried as he remembered the last time he faced them with Sora they were strong. "(What can I do, if Zuzu and Sora lose their duel, who knows what could happen to them.)"
"Very interesting a Tag Duel between Fusion and Xyz Summoners." Roget said looking quite impressed yet interested. "Tell Sector Security to not arrest them yet but stick to the shadows."
"Yes sir." The Officer reported.
At Duel Palace.
Yugo drove to the starting line.
"Well Rin-Rin, I'm one step close to the finales." He said gazing back at the sunset. "The sun maybe setting but not on our dreams of winning the Frienship Cup, I wish you could be here with me but I guess you were with me cause I met that girl that looks just like you."
He remembered Zuzu's face.
"Look there Celina is mowsing her way to the starting line!" Melissa announced.
She was driving the starting line hearing the crowd cheer.
"CELINA, CELINA, CELINA, CELINA, CELINA!" They chanted excitedly.
Celina drove next to Yugo.
"So you're the chump that's going to lose to me." She said getting Yuya's Synchro counterpart to look at her.
She lifted her mask helmet revealing her face.
"You'd better brought your A game cause I'm coming at you with everything I got, you'll be lucky to be walking away in one peace!" She proclaimed serious. "NOW LET'S DUEL!"
Yugo dropped his helmet in surprise which made Celina stop talking.
"Ha, ha, ha, its you!" He proclaimed happily.
"Huh?" Celina said looking confused.
"RRRIIINNN!" He cried in happiness as he tried to hug her but got punched instead.
"I said: Duel not drool!" Celina yelled as Yugo fell on the track. "(Wait, Rin is that girl that Zuzu was talking about, the one that looks like us?)"
"What has gotten into Yugo?" A man asked confusingly.
Yugo woke up and looked at the girl. "Rin..."
"I'm not Rin my name is Celina." Rin's Fusion Counterpart answered as Yugo pictured her as Rin.
"Oopsy, right but if you're not Rin." Yugo said.
Celina noticed he was looking closely at her. "Then why do you have the same bad breath?"
Celina punched the Synchro buffoon again sending him in the air.
Yugo got up. "RIN-RIN!"
"TAKE A SEAT!" Celina yelled punchin him again.
"RIN-RIN!" Yugo cried happily. "I said take your seat!" Celina yelling punching him once more.
"Looks something is up, Yugo is mistaking her for a friend." Melissa stated. "And Celina is mistaking him for punching bag."
Her assistant was holding a sign and began tapping on it.
"Oh yeah there's a duel starting so let's fire up the Action Field: CROSSOVER ACCELERATION!" Melissa proclaimed excitedly.
"Duel Mode, engaged Auto Pilot standing by." The two Duel Runners stated.
"Auto Pilot but my Duel Runner isn't standing up!" Yugo exclaimed as he got up lifting up his Runner as the Countdown starting.
"ON YOUR MARKS...GET SET...GO!" Melissa announced.
"LET'S DUEL!" Yugo and Celina proclaimed in unison.
Celina: 4000
Yugo: 4000
"Whoa, Celina took off like a bolt of lighting!" Melissa stated amazed. "IF she passes out of the palace gates then she'll get to go first!"
"Dear Celina, its important that you win then I got offer help in anyway I can." Roget said pressing a button his control set. "Patch me into the control grid and be on Standby."
"Yes sir!" A male technician replied. "We're sending you a visual on the Tag Duel that's happening in the Commons!"
Roget observed the Tag Duel.
"Hmm, how interesting looks like Shay's two comrades are tougher than they look." He said looking impressed. "Let's see if this Sora kid and Zuzu Boyle can make a comeback."
At the Duel Palace
Yugo drove faster next to Celina gazing at her. "(Ok so that's not Rin-Rin but Celina looks like her just like Zuzu did.)"
He then smiled. "(Funny thing is Rin and I always dreamed of dueling each other in front of a big crowd.)"
He imagined Rin was driving next to him. "(I guess in a way we're finally getting our wish it feels rocking as I thought it would.)"
"Hey, what's with the silly grin on your face?" Celina asked.
Yugo went back into reality and turned the face the girl that resembles his friend. "You're seriously weirding me out buddy, so snap out of it cause I saw your duel against Sylvio, I know you got game."
Yugo was surprised by the comment as Celina grinned at him. "I want your very best."
He remembered those words from Rin.
"SURE!" He cried happily driving off fast.
"Whoa, Yugo takes the lead and he is first through the gates!" Melissa announced surprisingly.
Yugo drove out first and Celina 2nd.
"Let's get this duel started, I summon Speedroid Den-Den Dico Dunk!"
Speedroid Den-Den Dico Duke Level 3 Attack 1200
"Then I'll end my turn." Yugo added with a happy smile.
"What that's your move?" Celina asked as the Synchro counterpart looked at her. "A monster with 1200 attack points, guess it didn't occur to you to play a facedown."
Yugo gasped in realization.
Celina wasn't impressed by this. "Remember when I said you got game, I take it back."
Celina drove ahead. "Its my turn!" She said drawing from her deck. "I summon out Lunalight Purple Butterfly!"
Lunalight Purple Butterfly Level 3 Attack 1000
"Next I'll play Polymerization cause only a fool makes a mistake..."
"So what if I made a mistake let it go Rin!" Yugo shouted looking offended.
"CALL ME RIN AGAIN THEN I'LL THEN I TEACH YOU THE MEANING OF MISTAKE!" Celina shouted in fury. "Now where was I, oh yes, I fuse Lunalight Blue Cat and Lunalight White Rabbit by combing the powers of these two magnificent monsters I can creat a new Luna legend, I Fusion Summon: Lunalight Cat Dancer!"
Lunalight Cat Dancer Level 7 Attack 2400
"Celina's summoning skills are as slick as a cat's reflexes!" Melissa commented.
"Now Cat Dancer's ability activates by tributing a Lunalight monster Cat Dancer is allowed to attack twice." Celina explained.
Yugo was shocked. "Huh, that doesn't sound fair!"
"Say long to Purple Butterfly and hello to Cat Dancer's first attack, blast them!"
"Blast them!" Rin's voice said.
"Rin." Yugo muttered.
Cat Dancer threw its dagger and slashed Dico Dunk.
Yugo: 2800
"Its not all bad cause Den-Den Dico Dunk's ability prevents it from being destroyed once per turn." Celina said.
Dico Dunk survived as Yugo gritted his teeth.
"That's hardly a draw back cause Yugo still takes damage at this rate his life points will drop empty in no time." Crow said observing the duel.
"Cat Dancer take it to two, let Dino Dunk have it again!" Celina commanded. "GO FULL MOON MAYHEM!"
Cat Dancer powered up an light of engery forming a ball and letting out a beam.
Dico Duke was struck again.
Yugo: 1600
"Oh my, Yugo's life point went down by 2400, can he mount a comeback or will Celina continue sinking her claws in?" Melissa asked.
Yugo was silent.
Back in the Tops central park.
Akiza had her Black Thorn Rose Dragon.
Security 1: 3000
Security 2: 3000
Akiza: 2300
Raptor: 2000
The first Security also had two copies of Goyo Chasers while the 2nd Security had Goyo Predator.
Raptor had Jurassic Tyranno-Rex
"Its my draw!" Raptor declared drawing from his deck. "I activate the spell: Rank-Up Magic Dinosaur Force!"
"What is Rank-Up?" Akiza asked herself.
"With it I Overlay Jurassic Tyranno-Rex to built the Overlay Network!" Raptor proclaimed.
His Xyz T-Rex monster disfigured into a green of energy and went up to the Overlay Network.
"With this comes a Jurrasic beast with fiery force that will make sure you can't beat the heat!"
His new Xyz Jurassic Monster began emerge showing its sharp teeth, claws, and letting out a snarl.
"Go Rank-Up Xyz Evolution: Arise Jurassic Inferno Rex!"
The inferno Rex let out a roar and slightly breathing fire out of its mouth.
Jurrasic Inferno Rex Rank 5 Attack 2500
Back in the Slums.
Sibella was walking around.
She saw a group of people watching a duel in the tvs.
"The next match must be underway." She whispered glancing at the TV's.
Then some people saw her.
"Hey look there!" A man exclaimed pointing at Sibella. "Isn't that Sibella?" A woman asked.
"It certainly is!" A man exclaimed in surprise.
Some men and a girl ran towards her.
"You were great against Hunter Pace!" One man praised excitedly. "He seemed to have a thing for you!" A female shouted in excitement. "Are you two in love now?"
Sibella's face was now flabbergasted with a red face.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" A Male asked hopefully with red face. "Or is Hunter Pace your boyfriend now?"
Sibella wasn't liking the attention.
back at the stadium.
"I always been a dog person but this Celina isn't bad." A man praised.
"I competely agree dear, that girl is a cat's meow." A Top Sider woman commented
"Let's go Yugo, otherwise Shinji ain't going to like it!" A big muscle Common man cheered.
"I'm in a tight spot." Yugo muttered.
"You just need to focus." Rin's voice said.
Yugo remembered a duel fest back then.
"Seriously if you weren't always getting distracted then you'd be on the stage holding a trophy and some bath towels." Rin said giving her friend a lecture.
Yugo was holding towels. "Can you focus, for me at least, can you do that for me?"
Yugo faced her looking frustrated. "Ok I will!"
Flashback end
"I will for you Rin, Alright time to get going." He muttered confidently.
Meanwhile at the cell Yuya was in.
He struggled to get the door open but to no avail.
"Man, you can't keep me alone in here!" He shouted as he took out his deck and looked at it.
"Wait I'm not alone not as long I have my friends in my deck."
As he gazed at his deck he then got concerned. "(I just hope that Leonardo and katt will take it easy on Zuzu and Sora, I know they hate mostly Sora but I hope Zuzu can show them Sora is a friend not an enemy.)"
Back at the Highway.
"Alright I end my turn." Celina said.
"I'll finally begin." Yugo said getting the Former female Fusion warrior's attention. "This time I'll give it my very best and a promise I made to Rin-Rin, a promise I intend to keep which is to win."
"Too bad cause coming my next turn I'm taking you down." Celina answered turning her head away.
"Sure give me your all too!" Yugo declared with a grin. "This duel isn't even done not by a long shot if you don't believe me then I'll show you, its my turn!"
Yugo drew and looked at the card he got. "Time for me to go supersonic I summon Speedroid Terror-Top!"
Speedroid Terror-Top Level 3 Attack 1200
"There's more next I'm rolling out this, its an eye full looking at you, Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice!"
Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice Level 1 Attack 100
"I won't getting too attached cause I'm tuning Red-Eyed Dice with Terror Top!"
3+1=4
"I Synchro Summon: Hi Speedroid Puzzle!"
Hi Speedroid Puzzle Level 4 Attack 1300
"Just like that Yugo is back in the game!" Melissa stated excitedly.
"So you were able to make a descent move but my monster is still the strongest out on the field." Celina stated. "Sorry but I'm not impressed."
"You're right not impressed not yet anyway." Yugo answered confidently.
"What do you mean?" Celina asked.
"Synchro summoming some super cool monster to make up for my lost start but I'm rep lining now and that's how I like to duel!" Yugo replied. "You know in the moment making it up as I go trusing in somewhat!"
"That's not a duel, you need to plan to win!" Celina exclaimed not getting what Yugo was implying.
"Plans are overrated but not this guy and I think you'll agree when Speedroid Puzzle's special ability when it battles a monster its attack points double!"
Speedroid Puzzle Attack 1300-2600
"Yugo is making his move if this attack connects then Celina will be defenseless." Melissa stated watching closely.
"Adjust course point Delta 5 to Gama 10." Roget ordere looking at the city's map on visual.
"Changning course point Delta 5 5o Gama 10!" The computer's electronic voice proclaimed.
Celina then heard alarms going off.
"What is going on?" She asked.
"Changing course initated!" A electronic voice proclaimed
the bridge course point Delta 5 changed.
Celina noticed her runner was acting strange.
"Hey my Runner is zigging instead of zaggin!" She exclaimed.
Yugo gasped in shock. "Oh man, this going to be close!"
He switched to manual and slide his Runner to make the curve and driving to Gama 10 course.
"Oh man, that twist nearly twisted Yugo!" Crow exclaimed in shock.
"Shifting gears is one thing but shifting courses is dangerous!" Melissa exclaimed also shocked as well.
"This narrow path will lead Celina to an Action card that'll be rather useful." Roget said.
Roget was right and Celina saw the Action Card.
"An Action card." She said as snatched it. "I activate the Action Spell: Fake Escape so your attack is no good!"
Puzzle swiped with its one of its blades but Cat Dancer dodged it.
"Argh, well that stinks cause now Speedroid Puzzle's attack points go back to 1300." Yugo explained in frustration.
Speedroid Puzzle Attack 2600-1300
"Celina got lucky for sure cause there was Action Card and that course changed the out turn of this duel!" Melissa stated. "Yugo can't be happy."
"Oh I thought I totally had ya." Yugo moaned.
Celina glanced at Yuya's Synchro Counterpart. "You got some serious skills nice pick but there is no match for me and my monsters so I place two cards facedown and end my turn."
At the High Council Room.
"Ha, ha, ha, it looks like the Director is up to new tricks." White Taki said chuckling.
"Celina's victory is close at hand." Roget said stretching his right arm in the air. "The only thing for her to do is squeeze."
Back at Misty's apartment.
"Misty, I'm sorry about your brother." Shay said feeling sorry for the super model.
"Yeah, you too were angry when your sister Lulu was captured by Duel Academy but you got more angry finding out that Dennis helped capture her." Misty replied looking sad. "I too was upset when my brother Toby went missing for two months since then I always hoped Security or anyone would find him but so far nothing."
Shay knew Misty wasn't the only one angry about losing a brother.
"(Sibella was angry about when she along including me and my friends seeing Yuto's dragon being summoned by Yuya which got us the idea that he did something to him.)" He thought.
"Anyway I don't have much leads but I have one." Misty said.
"What is this lead you have on your brother?" Shay asked.
Misty's body began to cringe in anger. "I heard that the Black Rose was seen where my brother was last scene."
Shay's eyes widened remebering the Black Rose the same Synchro Summoner that faced his friend Raptor.
"Rumors has it that Toby was seen talking to her but she brushed him off then, some people saw him running by the Security Bureau a short time later there was an explosion next the Security Bureau." Misty added. "Toby near the Security Bureau anymore but the Black Rose was."
"So do you think this Black Rose is to blame?" Shay asked looking curious.
"I have no doubt but the Black Rose denied that she didn't lay a finger on him all she did was talk to him and that was it." Misty said her eyes twitching.
Shay was concerned about this. "(If the Black Rose didn't hurt Toby then who did?)"
"Can you, your Xyz friends or the Lancers do anything to find out anything about my brother Toby and the Black Rose?" Misty asked.
"How will I get the chance to inform you anything?" Shay asked.
"If you have comrades that are still in this world then you can have them meet me here incase they have any info on my brother whereabouts and see that Akiza is responsible for his disappearance." Misty replied.
Shay went silent but made his decision quickly.
"Well I have to go the underground but I have a feeling we'll get out of there like breaking out the facility." He said with a grin. "So I'll see what I, my friends, and the Lancers can do."
Misty smiled beautifully. "Thank you, you're very kind."
At the Highway.
Yugo and Celina then drived through the Palace.
"Hey, remember I said I'd beat you in my next turn?" Celina asked. "Well the next turn is now."
"Uh oh I don't like the sound of that." Yugo stated in worry. "Celina doesn't look like Rin, she's tough like her too maybe more."
"Here I go!" Celina proclaime drawing from her deck. "I first I summon Lunalight Black Sheep!"
Lunalight Black Sheep Level 2 Attack 100
"Next I play the Spell: Polymerization, I fuse Lunalight Black Sheep and Lunalight Cat Dancer, by combining the reflexes of fearless Feline and a cunning covertness of the beast I can create a new Lunar Legend!"
Her two Lunalight monsters began to fuse together.
"I Fusion Summon: now appear creature of the night and ready those sharp claws, Lunalight Panther Dancer is on the prowl!"
Lunalight Panther Dancer Level 8 Attack 2800
"I'm not done and neither is my Black Sheep whenever she's used as Fusion Material I can bring back from my graveyard to my hand." Celina explained as her Sheep returned from the graveyard and took into her hand. "Panther Dancer pounce, attack Speedroid Puzzle!"
Panther Dancer unleashed a dark orb.
"Uh oh it looks like Yugo could be taking a permanent cat nap." Melissa stated.
Yugo gritted his teeth. "I can de-claw this Puzzle's attack points double!"
Speedroid Puzzle Attack 1300-2600
"Smart play since Puzzle has more attack points Yugo won't take much damage." Melissa noted.
"Ha like I didn't see that coming Panther Dancer's special ability gets to attack twice!" Celina declared.
"Wait, wasn't that your Cat Dancer's ability too?" Yugo asked in shock.
"Right, looks like my monstesr like sinking their claws into your monsters then treating them like scratching post." Celian replied.
The dark orb fired by Panther Dancer struck Speedroid Puzzle destroying it.
Yugo: 1400
"Looks like Yugo's life points have sprung a leak." Melissa commented.
Speedroid Puzzle Attack 2600-1300
"Looks like your Puzzle's attack points sprung a leak as well." Celina remarked.
"Celina has the monster, the momentum, and the life points." Crow commented.
"Well this is it." Celina stated.
"No, I can't go out like this!" Yugo exclaimed in a panic.
"It looks like Yugo is panicking here!" Melissa exclaimed.
"(Come on, you got to win.)" Yugo said looking doubted. "But how?)"
He noticed something ahead.
"I got it!" He exclaimed driving ahead.
Celina looked ahead to see what he driving towards.
"Aah, an Action Card!"
"Adjust course Zumu Lema 2 to Delta Mike 1." Roget ordered.
Alarms sounded again.
"Course change intitated!" A computer's electronic announced.
"Seriously?" Yugo said looking shocked.
He then turned his Runner to slide and slowed down.
Crow was shocked slightly. "The duel course changed again, something is up."
Jack was watching this duel who also seemed suspicious as well.
"I'll be cause of that course change Yugo couldn't get that Action Card!" Melissa stated.
"Heh, heh, how unexpected." White Taki chuckled. "Roget's contand interfering is making this duel more entertained."
"Talk about bad luck I can't catch a break here its like someoneo has it out for or something." Yugo muttered to himself. "First Celina lucks out to an Action card and I luck out on one so much for me winning this for Rin I always thought I can win with captial W but I was wrong."
Yugo then shut his eyes with doubt.
"Makes me wonder whatever Rin saw in me."
As he remembered something.
"Make up your mind already!" Rin's voice said.
A flashback scene.
"Come on, you've been staring at your cards for almost an hour." Rin said putting her hands on her hips. "You don't have any moves left face it the duel is over so give up!"
"No way, that's not in the cards!" Yugo exclaimed with determination.
Rin sighed but smiled. "Yeah that's you and that's what I like about you."
Flashback ends.
"Of course that's what she saw in me." Yugo said opening his eyes with straight face.
"The course has changed but you losing hasn't!" Celina proclaimed. "Now Panther Dancer attack Speedroid Puzzle and shred the rest of Yugo's life points!"
"Its a long shot but I play the trap: Re-Dicylce, first I have to chose a Synchro Monster from my Extra Deck so I chose Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" Yugo explained as image of his Dragon appeared from his Extra Deck.
Yuya then felt something and heard a roar so he looked to see his Odd-Eyes glowing again.
"Next I summon a Dice Monster from my graveyard so on out Red-Eyed Dice!"
Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice Level 1 Attack 100
"Now I roll a die then Red-Eyed Dice's level becomes the number I roll so if I want to Synchro Summon Clear Wing Dragon so I must roll a three but if not all the monsters I have out won't be out for long."
"That is one risky move!" Celina exclaimed in shock.
"So it all comes down to this one die roll." Crow stated looking impressed.
"You said that you wanted me to give it my best, well I'm giving it my best and my all." Yugo said. "Here it goes, now go number 3!"
The dice rolled on the track and rolled a three.
"WHAT, NO WAY!" Celina exclaimed in shock.
Yes, my Red-Eyed Dice becomes Level 3!" Yugo proclaimed.
Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice Level 1-3
"NOW LEVEL 3 RED-EYED DICE TUNE WITH LEVEL 4 Hi-Speedroid Puzzle, BEAT YOUR WINGS TO SPREAD A WHIRLWIND OF DESTRUCTION!"
4+3=7
"I Synchro Summon: Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!"
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon Level 7 Attack 2500
"Absolutely amazing, in one roll die Yugo might be rolling to a victory!" Melissa stated amazingly.
"Incase you didn't notice Panther Dancer has more attack points so nothing much has changed." Celina said confidently.
"Are you sure?" Yugo asked with the same look. "You should know when to the expect the unexpected."
Yuya had his Odd-Eyes in his hand and it glowed even brighter.
Clear Wing Dragon let out a roar as Yugo turned around.
Yuya opened his eyes and realized he was on the highway.
"Clear Wing Synchro Dragon and Celina.)" He thought looking confused.
"Time to end this!" Yugo proclaimed.
Celina drove ahead.
"HERE I GO SHOWTIME!" Yuya and Yugo both proclaimed in unison.
At the Common.
Zuzu looked at what she drew then she gazed at the two Xyz Warriors.
"Look you two, you guys went through alot since your home was attacked." She said with a straight face.
Sora was wondering what his friend was getting at.
"What are you saying?" He asked looking puzzled.
"Look Sora, they were mean but something is telling me they not." Zuzu stated.
"What?" Sora said looking shocked.
Leonardo and Katt were confused too.
Zuzu then turned her attention Shay's two comrades.
"Look you two I know you guys are being tough and rough but I have a feeling that's not true."
Sora was getting puzzled even more.
"Think about it when Yuya and I along with us from You Show thought you guys as merciless duelists but like I said that's not the case."
"What are you implying?" Leonardo asked looking more angered. "Yeah, what are you talking about?" Katt asked showing her cat fangs.
"You see after watching Shay's duel against Crow, at first their duel was getting too intense." Zuzu replied.
A flashback scene.
Shay duels against Crow and was getting brutal and intense.
"As usually Shay was being rough and mean to Crow at first, the kids Crow was looking after didn't like him even when I told them about your world being attacked." Zuzu explained.
linebreak
"That soon changed after Shay did something heroic..."
This got Sora, Leonardo, and Katt to gasp in surprise.
Flashback continues.
Tarren was caught by Shay and brought to his Common friends.
"I told him you two and Jenna were ok, I have feeling he was worried about you guys." Zuzu finished.
Flashback ends.
"Soon after I realized that Shay wasn't a bad as we thought, that's when I realized that maybe there still hope for duelists to smile again even ones that lost their smiles." Zuzu added with a serious look. "I..no we will bring back your smiles again!"
"Who is we?" Katt asked while gritting her teeth.
Sora realized who else Zuzu was talking about.
"Wait, We as in you and me?" He asked pointing at himself.
Leonardo and Katt were disgusted.
"Yes, I know you two see Sora as enemy that threaten you and your friends on that night he lost to Shay." Zuzu said with a straight face. "When Yuto went missing you guys were so sad and I know Sibella was too but Yuto trusted me cause I never would use Fusion Summon to hurt anyone."
Sora was astonished hearing this and his student looked at him.
"Sora, I know you were angry when Shay beat you badly but you were still a great duelist, a good teacher and good friend." Zuzu said smiling. "Don't let any duelists that defeat you get to your head, you're still a great Duelist."
Sora just stared off at her feeling touched by his student's words.
"(Yes, when I was lost badly to Shay I forgot what dueling was about which led me to a destructive defeat.)" He thought with guilt. "(I was so obessed about my lost that I chased Yuto out of the hospital so I can get back at Shay but that only put my friends in danger.)"
He then remembered when he duel Yuya again in the Standard Dimension.
"Yet after everything I did my friends didn't give up on me and I have feeling that the others didn't either.)" He thought.
He stared off at Shay's two comrades.
"Zuzu is right, I have admit you guys are strong too but I'm sorry that your friend Yuto is gone." He said sincerely.
"Saying sorry isn't going to make it better!" Katt shouted angrily showing her cat fangs.
"Right, its not just about Yuto, all our friends and family were carded by your allies from Fusion!" Leonardo added angrily.
Zuzu hung her head down looking doubtful.
"(They won't listen to us.)" She thought doubtfully. "(I knew it wouldn't be easy making them smile let alone convincing them Sora isn't a enemy anymore, that is if they can be smile again let alone trust Sora, my friends from Standard, or anyone else.)"
Sora noticed her looking doubtful.
"(No, I can't give up nor stop trying to get Leonardo and Katt smiling again.)" She thought looking suddenly determined. "Leonardo, Katt, I know you guys are still angry but I won't give up on remind you two what dueling is really about, if Lulu or Yuto were here I'm sure they do the same thing."
Leonardo and Katt's eyes were widen as image of Lulu and Yuto appeared in their heads who had a smile on their faces.
"LET'S CONTINUE THIS DUEL!" Zuzu proclaimed as she took a card from her hand.
End of Chapter with cliffhanger.
