Chapter 52
"With the excellent duel between Crow Hogan and Sakaki Yuni, our fourth duel is coming up next! Please welcome Serena versus Hiiragi Ryu!" Melissa says.
As Serena is walking at towards the stadium, she thinks, "So my opponent is Yuzu's brother..."
Ryu has a frown on his face and says, "Of all the people, why should I duel her..."
Once the two duelists arrive at the duel field, Serena turns around and looks at Ryu. "Hey, Ryu." Ryu looks at her and says, "I am really sorry for what happened to Yuzu..."
Ryu says, "You didn't do anything wrong. It is my fault to have Yuzu in danger while I just sit aroind and do nothing..."
"I see... let's give it our best for Yuzu's sake." Serena says.
Ryu stares at him, he sees Yuzu's face on her as he feels a little heart pain.
"Now, let's get the show on the road! Action Field, on! Field Spell, Crossover Acceleration" Melissa says. The purple light suffuses the stadium and the surrounding track, and the Action Cards scatter.
"Duel mode, on. Auto-pilot, stand-by" Both D-Wheels declare, and the holographic countdown appears. "Riding Duel, acceleration!" Melissa calls.
"Duel!" Both Serena and Ryu cries out. (Serena:4000)(Ryu:4000)
They exit the Duel Palace, and Ryu emerges first "The first move goes to Ryu!" Melissa says.
Ryu says, "I'll go first. I use the Scale 2 Elemental Villager and Scale 9 Elemental Slave to set the Pendulum Scale!"
A prisoner with a rainbow colored crest appears along with a normal person. Then a 2 and a 9 appears below them.
"With this I can summon monsters from Level 3 to Level 8! Pendulum Summon! Come! Elemental Castle!" (ATK:0/DEF:2000 LV:6)
A Castle with rainbow color appears on the field, Melissa says, "What a surprise! Ryu has summoned a giant castle!"
Serena says, "So you are going for defense, huh?"
"Yeah. I end my turn." Ryu says.
Serena says, "My turn!" She draws a card and says, " Using the Scale 1 Moonlight Wolf and Scale 5 Moonlight Tiger, I set Pendulum Scale!"
Two monsters ascend to the top and a 1 and a 5 appear below them.
"With this, I'm able to simultaneously summon monsters from level 2 to 4! Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters! Moonlight Blue Cat (ATK:1600/DEF:1200 LV: 4) and Moonlight Purple Butterfly (ATK:1000/ DEF:1000 LV: 3)!"
As two monsters appear, Melissa says, "After Ryu, Serena also goes for a Pendulum summon!"
Serena says, "I activate Moonlight Wolf's Pendulum Effect! Once per turn, I can perform a Fusion Summon of a Moonlight Monster in my Extra Deck! But the materials used with this effect are banished! As Blue Cat and Purple Butterfly swirled inside orange and blue colored vortex, Serena began her summoning chant, joining her hands together.
"Blue cat that prowls through the darkness! Butterfly with violet poison! Spiral into the moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! Come to me! Beautiful beast that dances in the moonlight! Moonlight Cat Dancer! (ATK:2400/DEF:2000 LV: 7)"
As her monster appears, Melissa says, "Serena has successfully Fusion Summoned!"
Risu says, "Like the last duel, she duels really just like Rin..."
Vivian says, "Ryu... be careful."
Serena says, "I use Moon Light Perfume, with the effect, I can summon back my Blue Cat."
As the cat appears, she says, "And furthermore, I can use Cat Dancer's per turn I can attack all of my opponents' monsters twice each by Releasing one Moonlight Monster! I Release Moonlight Blue Cat."
Ryu says, "But even if you attack, my monster is in DEF position."
"I use Magic Card, Luna Shine. I can gave Moonlight Cat Dancer percing damage."
"What?" Ryu is shocked.
"The first time each monster you control would be destroyed by battle, it won't be destroyed, but the second would do it! Go! Cat Dancer! Full Moon Crescent!" Serena says.
Ryu braces himself from the impact of the falling castle. (Ryu:4000-3200) Melissa says, "Ryu's field is now empty! Way to go! Serena!"
Ryu says, "Not bad. But I activate my Castle's ability, I can summon as many Elemental Soldiers as possible from my deck."
Three Elemental Soldiers appear in front of Ryu (ATK:100/DEF:1000 LV:4) Serena says, "Not bad. I end my turn."
Rumi is now riding the D-Wheel, Sona asks, "What is she work up for?"
Yuni says, "Beats me."
Rumi notices the woman stops in front of her facing the wall. Rumi says, "Mom? Is that you?"
Aera turns around and faces her, Rumi can't help but forming tears as she hugs her. "Hello, Rumi."
"Mom...I can't believe you are here as well..." Rumi says.
"Me too..." Aera says. "And I saw your duel, how you tried to help the kid by using the riding skills I taught you."
Once they break the hug, Rumi asks, "But Mom, what are you doing here? You had gone missing after Dad being carded, Ruri, Shun and I are worried about you."
Aera then frowns and says, "Rumi, listen to me. You won't like what I am going to say to you."
"Huh?" Rumi is confused, then Aera shows her right arm, a mark of the Humming Bird appears.
"What? That is Aslla Piscu's mark!" Yuni exclaims.
"No way...so she is a Dark Signer, too?" Zarnie says.
Rumi feels terrified as she asks, "Mom...don't tell me..."
Aera says, "I am afraid to tell you, yes. I am a Dark Signer. I will be your enemy in the future since you are a Signer."
"No way..." Rumi kneels down and says, "Not only Dad...but you as well...Why?"
As Rumi starts to form tears, Aera hugs her again and says, "Sometimes you can't escape your fate. I, too, am scared of myself. Being just like Academia who takes away souls."
Rumi cries in her chest as Aera continues, "The only way to be free from the Earthbound, that is to defeat me in a duel while I summon Earthbound God. But in the process, I would be controlled and I won't stop myself for hurting you."
Rumi says, "Is- Is there another way..."
"I am afraid not." Aera says. "Unlike you and Ruri, as well as Shun, me and your father are dead. We were just zombies that try to take over the world..."
Once Rumi breaks the hug, Aera says, "I'll be waiting for you and Sakaki Yuni, who is inside you."
She places the locket on the floor. Before she left, Rumi asks, "Wait, mom. What about Rin? Is she fine?"
Aera says, "Rin is safe. But you would need to save her as well..." Then she leaves into the shadows.
Sona says, "No way...we just knew another Dark Signer..."
"And Rin is now one I guess..." Zarnie says.
"I will save them both! Like you promised Yuzu. I will save all of them and we can go back home together..." Rumi vows as she places the locket on her neck.
Yuni says, "I'll help you, Rumi. You are not alone."
Rumi nods as she gives the control back to Yuni, then she rides off to find Yuya and the others.
Ryu says, "My turn!" As he draws the card, he says, "I Pendulum Summon! Come forth! The lord of the Elements! Elemental King! (ATK:3000/DEF:2000 LV:8)"
"Ryu has summoned a higher level monster!" Melissa says.
"And then I use Villager's Pendulum effect! I can copy your Cat Dancer and fuse it with Elemental Soldier.
"What? My Cat Dancer?" Serena is shocked as the Villager takes out a camera and takes a picture.
I fuse the Cat Dancer and Elemental Soldier! The knight that lurks in the dark! Save the Kingdom with your fearsome power! Fusion Summon! Come! LV:6! Elemental Dark Knight!" (ATK:2400/DEF:1800 LV:6)
A knight with a purple armor appears on the field, it has a spear and a shield.
"With Serena's Fusion Summon! Now Ryu has showed off his Fusion Summon as well."
Serena says, "Your Fusion Monsters have the energy equivalent to thr Fusion taught in Academia. Yuya taught you, right?"
"Yeah." Ryu says. "We are friends with Yuya's family and Reisho's family, we played together in childhood and duel every time we had as possible. But with Katrina's disappearance, as well as Reisho, his father and Yuya's father...things aren't the same as before..."
"Ryu..." Katrina mutters.
"As a Lancer, I will carry out Yuzu and my will to stop the war! And I want the ways to be like before! Elemental King's effect! I can add 500 ATK for each Elemental Monsters on the field!" Ryu says. (ATK:3000-4500)
"And with Slave's Pendulum Effect! When there is an ATK change, I can add the change number to my other monster's ATK!" (ATK:2400-3900)
"4500 ATK and 3900 ATK! With those two monsters combine their attack, Serena will lose for sure!" Melissa says.
"Battle!" Ryu says. "I attack your Cat Dancer with Elemental King! Elemental Stab!"
The king stabs at the Cat Dancer, who lets out a scream before she is gone. Serena also braces herself from the attack. (Serena:4000-1900)
"And this is the end! Dark Knight! Dark Slash!" Ryu says as Dark Knight charges foward.
Serena grits her teeth as the attack comes, but she notices an Action Card and pick it up. "Action Magic, Evasion! I evade the attack!"
Serena dodges from the slash, Ryu says, "You manage to dodge my attacks."
"I can't lose as well." She says, "With Yuri and Sona's help, I have recovered my memories. I also want to stop this war, I also want to be back like the way it was! Having fun in Academia and learning new things. This is what I am fighting for."
Satoshi says, "Serena..."
Ron says, "Wow..They really are..."
Ryu says, "I see. I use Elemental King's second effect! I release Elemental Soldier to give you 100 damage." (Serena:1900-1800)
"I end my turn. Now come at me with your power!"
Serena nods as she says, "My turn!" As she draws the card, she says, "I summon Moonlight White Rabbit!" (ATK:800/DEF:800 LV:2)
As the rabbit appears, she says, "I use its effect, I can summon back my monster from the graveyard. I summon back Cat Dancer in DEF position."
As the Cat Dancer appears, Serena says, "I use Moonlight Wolf's Pendulum Effect! I Fuse Cat Dancer and White Rabbit!"
As Cat Dancer and White Rabbit swirled inside orange and blue colored vortex, Serena began her summoning chant, joining her hands together.
"The beautiful wild beast dancing under the moonlight! The lively white rabbit illuminated by moonlight! Swarm in a vortex of the moon's gravity and revive with a new power! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Lunar Eclipse Fusion Dragon!" (ATK:2800/DEF:2500, LV8)
The second dragon with grey color skin and looks like Starve Venom appears, but instead of plants on its body, it has nothing but dusts.
"Serena has summoned a Dragon!" Melissa says.
Yugo says, "That dragon looks like Rin's and Yuzu's."
Shun says, "So that is her dragon..."
Ryu says, "This dragon is like Yuzu's Dragon...But it is a Dark Type, right? Dark Knight prevents all Dark Monsters from attacking except himself."
Melissa says, "Ryu has blocked her monster! Without attacking, what will Serena do?"
Serena says, "I see...but since I am going to end this duel, I still have this card in my hand. Lunar Self Destruct. With this card, I can destroy your monster on the field."
Ryu says, "I see...so you will use it to destroy my Dark Knight."
"No, I am going to destroy my Lunar Eclipse!" Serena says.
"What?" Ryu says as well as everyone who is shocked.
"She is destroying her monster? What is she planning?" Melissa says in confusion.
Reisho says, "She is using the destruction effect."
"Yeah, when Lunar Eclipse is destroyed, it destroys all Ryu's monsters and give him damage equal to the total ATK of the monsters that it destroys." Katrina says.
Ryu is surprised. "What?"
Serena says, "Now Moon Shower!"
Ryu then picks an Action Card, but then he is hit by the effect as well as his monsters. (Ryu:3200-0)
"It is decided! The winner of the match is Serena!" Melissa yells as they cheer.
Vivian says, "Ryu lost, huh."
"I guess it can't be helped." Katrina says.
Roget is looking as he says, "You have fulfill my expectations once more, Serena."
Back at the stadium, Ryu looks at the hand, it shows the card, Damage Draw before it disappears.
Serena says, "Ryu." Ryu turns to her and says, "You have the same face as my sister. And your dueling is like her as well..."
He closes his eyes and says, "Don't lose on me and Yuzu's behalf."
Serena looks at him and then says, "Sure." They share a brother sister like hug before Ryu leaves.
Yuya and the others have dodged another sets of Security, they are running until they hear Yuni approaching.
They stop as Yuni takes off her helmet. "Brother."
"Yuni. Glad to see you safe." Yuya says as they share a hug.
"I can say the same to you, especially Yuzu." Yuni says.
"I know. I'm sorry to make you worried." Yuzu says.
Amanda says, "Yuni, your duel with Crow is exciting."
"Yeah, I really want to duel like you guys!" Frank says.
"Thanks." Yuni says, but then she frowns. Ruri notices the locket on her neck and says, "Hey, that locket..."
Yuya says, "Huh? Yuni? Where did you get that locket..."
Yuni frowns and opens it, inside is a picture of the Kurosaki Family. Ruri says, "That is my mom's locket, how do you get it?"
Yuni frowns and says, "The only thing I can tell...is that...Ruri's mom..."
Yuya has put the dots together and gasps, "No...you can't mean..."
"Mean what?" Sora asks.
Yuni nods and says, "Yes. I saw it, the mark of Aslla Piscu..."
Ruri says, "Not mother, too... Why?"
Yuzu says, "Do you mean Ruri's mother is also a Dark Signer? How did she..."
"Rumi has confronted her, she gives her the locket so we will save her and Mr. Kurosaki." She closes her eyes and says.
"I see..." Sora says. But then they hear a sound. "Who is there?"
Then Tsukikage came out of the shadows. "Tsukikage of the Fuma Clan. During the midst of the battle Royal of the Miami Championship. I witnessed the final moments of my brother Hikage as you turned him into a card." Tsukikage says, Sora gasped.
"The fact that I would meet you here, must only be from my brother's guidance. Now, face me!" Tsukikage said as he activates his Duel Disk, Sora responded by activates his Duel Disk.
Yuni says, "Wait, Tsukikage. This isn't time for allies to be fighting amongst each other!"
"What are you saying?! He is with Academia! He is our enemy!" Tsukikage tells them.
"Sora is different!" Yuya argues. "Isn't that right, Sora? You're not with Academia anymore! You don't need to make any more people sad doing the Professor's work!"
"Make people sad…?" Sora asks as he looked back at Yuya and the others, he then saw images of Yoko, Ayu, Shuzo, Tatsuya and Fudoshi behind them.
Sora sighs and deactivates his Duel Disk "I apologize for what happened to your brother. But I know simply apologizing will not settle it…If you are not satisfied with this, then you can do whatever you want with me!" Sora says.
He looks at his duel disk, "I want to save my friends who are being controlled by Academia and I also want to protect my friends."
Tsukikage looks at him and then Yuya and Yuni, who nod to him. "Very well...since my brother is revived."
He turns to Yuya and Yuni. "Vice Presidents, I will take them to our hiding location underground, is that okay?" Tsukikage asks.
"Us too? Why?" Amanda asks.
"Underground?! Where they're doing forced labor?!" Frank asks.
"I don't want to go there!" Tanner replies.
"They will be suspicious of you hiding Yuzu somewhere, so it would be dangerous to remain on the surface. Security is already steadily searching the City. Even the Administration Council Building is under their control. And I am unable to contact Reiji Akaba as of now" Tsukikage explains.
"Yeah...Now that it's come to this, the only choice is to head underground. But don't worry. With the Lancers and Crow, you will be safe." Yuya says.
"I see…There are friends we can trust underground" Yuzu understands.
Yuni says, "Excellent work, Tsukikage, now please continue your search. I'll take them there."
"Understood." He then leaves. Amanda asks, "So she is your bodyguard or somthing?"
"You can say so." Yuya says. "Yuzu. I am sorry that it comes to this."
"No, it is fine." Yuzu smiles.
Once they reach to the Underground, Ryu also arrives as well. Once she sees Yuzu, he rushes up to her.
"Yuzu! You're safe!" He hugs her tight, she says, "Woah, Brother! I can't breathe..."
Gongenzaka, Sawatari, Choujiro, Jean, Kiryu and Crow walk towards them. Crow notices the children and says, "You guys? What are you doing here?"
Frank says, "We think that hiding here is the safe place to hide from the Security."
"And we can be together as well." Amanda says.
"I see..." Kiryu says.
Sawarari says, "And why did you hug your sister so tightly? What did Yuzu do?"
Yuni says, "Well, she dueled the Duel Crusher Seregy and lost, she got sent flying from the highway."
"What? You endured that?" Gonganzaka asks in shock. Yuzu's heart sink as she says, "Yeah..."
Jean asks, "What's wrong? It seems like you aren't happy..."
Yuni says, "It is a long story, but we find out who is leading the Dark Signers."
"What is Dark Signers?" Chloujiro asks.
"You mean that spooky monster that we saw?" Crow asks.
"Yes. And..." Yuni sighs as she looks at Jean, the leader...is Kurosaki Condor..."
Jean gasps and says, "No way...Ruri's father? Isn't he carded?"
"He suffered death and been reborn as a Dark Signer." Yuzu says. "Not only him, Ruri's mother is also a Dark Signer."
"You have to be kidding me..." Jean says.
"So you mean that the Dark Signers are lead by Kurosaki's parents?" Gongenzaka asks.
"Wow. I can't imagine my papa becoming evil..." Sawatari says. "I feel sorry for Kurosaki."
"Not only them. And if possible...Rin also becomes one." Yuzu says.
"Rin?" Crow asks. "She is?"
Yuni says, "Rin saved Yuzu from the fall with her dragon's help. So the one who actually falls..."
"Is Rin..." Kiryu says.
"No way...so even she become your enemy as well..." Crow says with a frown.
"That is why we need to stop them!" Yuni says. "We have to save them and we need your help."
They nod as she turns to Ryu and says, "Since Yuzu will be staying here, I want you to take care of her for us."
"Leave her to me." Ryu says. Then Yuni leaves the area.
