Chapter 52: A Vicious Cycle

Gong was running ahead with Sylvio running behind.

"Hey, slow down and I never though you'd run fast on saddles!" The LID yellow haired boy stated in a panting tone.

"Can't you blame Gong, his friends are in trouble!" Gong declared glancing at his comrade.

Just then they heard a screeh over head.

There was Shay flying on his Rise Falcon while Jenna rode on her new Transformer Maximal Transmetal Tiger Hawk which was in beast mode.

"Jenna, Shay!" Gong exclaimed.

"How about giving us a ride, you jerks!" Sylvio protested.

The hovercraft that gave Yuya a lift to the Security Headquarters made its landing as the Dueltainer got off.

As he did Jack passed by with Katt who was riding with Crow.

"You two ready?" Jack asked.

"Yeah!" Crow replied looking ahead.

"Meow, who needs a door when a window will do fine!" Katt added.

They drove through the window shattering glass to the floor.

"Smash it Rise Falcon!" Shay commanded as his Falcon unleashed a sonicwave. "You too, Tiger Hawk!" Jenna commanded next as her Transformer Tiger Hawk fired its machine bullet out of its guns that were on both wings.

Shay and Jenna jumped into the windown they shattered and ran down the hallway.

"You say you're the best that Duel Academy has to offer, if that's true then I guess my father has lowered his standards." Declan said.

"Once I get through knocking your sorry self off my hide, I'll bring you back to my father, then proceed to show him that how far his son has falling." Roget replied.

Declan fixed his glasses. "You're living a dream, I'm here to give you a pain of reality, defeating me and running back to Duel Academy isn't going to happen, you will fail as you always have."

Roget's smirk went upside down. "Clap trap." He remarked.

"Say whatever you want, it won't matter cause your trouble making days will be over soon." Declan said as he drew from his deck. "To make good on my word, I activate the spell: Forbidden Contract with the Swamp King, I can summon T/T/T Chaos King Apocalypse!"

D/D/D Chaos King Apocalypse Level 7 Attack 2700

"Its reign will be short." Roget commented.

"You're right, cause due to Forbidden Dark Contract with the Swamp Kingk I can summon a Fusion Monster without using Polymerization, I fuse Chaos King Apocalypse and D/D Lamia, I Fusion Summon: D/D/D Dragonbane King Beowulf!"

D/D/D Dragonbane King Beowulf Level 8 Attack 3000

"Fusion Summoning without Polymerization, you must think you're so smart." Roget said amusingly.

"There is no thinking about it, I know it as fact because when I use my Tuner Lamia to Fusion Summon I can discard my spell: Forbidden Dark Contract with teh Swamp King to the graveyard which allows me to bring D/D Lamia." Declan replied.

D/D Level 1 Attack 100

"A Tuner Monster, that's mean you can Synchro Summmon!" Roget exclaimed in surprise. "There is more, I'm going to crush your monsters into oblivion." Declan stated determined.

Yuya was running through a hallway with Crow, Katt, and Jack.

"Where are you Zuzu?!" Yuya called out.

"I'm setting the Pendulum Scale with Scale 6 D/D Savant Thomas and Scale 8 D/D Savant Nikola, I Pendulum Summon!"

His two D/D Monsters appeared in the Pendulum Zone.

"Now I can summon many Level 7 Monsters as I want, the energy of the universe swings between the forces of darkness and light, I shall harness the power this eternally isolation, I Pendulum Summoning: I call upon my D/D/D Chaos King Apocalypse once again!"

D/D/D Chaos King Apocalypse Level 7 Attack 2700

"Level 1 Lamia tunes with Level 7 Chaos King Apocalypse!"

7+1=8

"I Synchro Summon: Appear D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried!"

D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried Level 8 Attack 2800

"He paired Synchro Summoning with Pendulum Summoning." Roget said in shock.

"D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried's special ability negates a face up spell or trap that's in effect until your next turn." Declan explained.

Cursed King Siegfried fired a laser from its forehead and blasted the Ancient Gear Magic Shield.

Ancient Gear Devil Defense 3000-1800

"Now Beowulf attack!" Declan commanded. "Beowulf can deal damage even if your monster is defense mode!"

Beowulf slashed the Gear Devil and destroyed it.

Roget: 2800

"Your reign ends here, Seigfried finish him off!"

Siegfried slashed Roget with its sword and send the Director to the wall that shocked him with electricty.

Declan noticed Roget vanished then he heard a laugh.

"Ha, ha, ha, nothing is finished, I'm beyond life points I'm immortal." Roget said chuckling.

A flashback scene.

"Be careful, Roget duels like he has nine lives." Moon Shadow stated.

Sora duel against Roget.

Sora has his Frightfur Bear slam Roget with his paw.

"He's gone!" Sora exclaimed.

"Like his life points." Moon Shadow added.

Then they heard a laugh and Roget appeared again.

"(What kind of crazy magic trick this is?)" Declan asked himself.

"I'm immortal, you might defeat me but you'll never win, you'll never get rid of me, no how much you defeat me you will fall to me, to a force that won't go until you're a shattered shell, ha, ha, ha!" Roget stated with manically laugh.

Sylvio and Gong made it to the control center which was damaged badly.

"This control center has seen better days." Sylvio commented.

"Hopefully Sora got out before this place was blasted." Gong said concerned.

"Hope he's in better shape than this room." Sylvio added.

"Don't worry about Sora, he's going to be fine." Shay said as the two Standard duelists turned around.

"How do you know that?" Gong asked not following the Xyz Warrior's words.

"Did you see him?" Sylvio asked.

Shay shook his head. "No, but I've seen him in action, and I have the scars to prove it."

"You speaking in riddles is strange." Sylvio commented confusingly. "Gong has to agree with him." Gong stated confused too.

"You two forget that Shay dueled him before on top of that he figured Sora out more then you think." Jenna added.

Moon Shadow was with Riley outside the room.

"Ninja can break into many places." The Ninja Lancer said pressing a button on the door's keyboard. "Just...not cyberspace."

"Hey!" Sibella called out.

"Its Sibella!" Riley exclaimed.

Raptor and Akiza were behind her with Leonardo, Sherry, Misty Tredwell, and Elsworth.

"Riley and Moon Shadow!" Yuya called.

"Leonardo, Sherry, Misty Tredwell, Elsworth, Akiza and Raptor too!" Katt added.

"Have you guys seen Zuzu?" Yuya asked.

"My brother got locked inside the room with Zuzu and Roget, we tried everything but we can't get in." Riley answered.

"I'm activating D/D Savant Thomas' Pendulum Ability, which allows me to take an Pendulum Monster from my Extra Deck and add to my hand." Declan explained as he took his Pendulum monster from his Extra Deck. "That is my Pendulum Monster D/D/D Chaos King Apocalypse, I'll end my turn with a facedown."

"So you want to keep dueling, my you're the apocalypse but I got reality check for you, you never had the chance, ha, ha, ha!" Roget remarked chuckling.

"Maybe we should try kicking this thing?" Crow asked. "If we do that then we won't be able to get in." Raptor stated.

Just then Shay, Gong, Sylvio, and Jenna came running towards them.

"Perfect timing, we could use your Kung fu to knock this door down." Yuya said. "We tried everything to get this door to open."

"Geez, can't you guys do anything on your own, guess its time for to save the day again for you guys." Sora said in pain as he nearly fell.

"Its been a long day, I have one more trick up my sleeve." Sora grinned as his Duel Disk showed a hacking mode.

The door opened up.

Declan heard them quickly and put his right arm out which stopped them from entering further.

"We're in a interesting situation, never ending duel." The Leo President stated.

"Never ending?" Yuya asked confused.

"That's right, which means I can never be defeated." Roget answered. "No, not neccessary." Declan said as he gazed ahead. "One of us can stop, that person is you."

"Are you saying I might forfeit, that's absolutely lunatically." Roget said amusingly.

"Its my turn!"

"D/D/D Chaos King Apocalypse's special ability allows me to Special Summon it to the field during your turn!" Declna explained.

D/D/D Chaos King Apocalypse Level 7 Attack 2700

"By doing that I must give up Sevant Thomas and Nikola from my Pendulum Zone."

"I know that fact that Pendulum Summoning is important weapon for you, now that you abandoned it, you're never going to win." Roget stated confidently.

"I wouldn't be so sure D/D/D Chaos King Apocalypse is destroyed and I can return one Pendulum Monster to my hand, this will once again allow me to set the Pendulum Scale with Servant Thomas, now I activate the trap: Dark Contract with teh Swinging Abyss, whenever a D/D Pendulu Monster returns to my hand, my opponent takes damage equal to one of D/D monsters, Chaos King Apocalypse has 2000 Defense points, that's all you have left." Declan explained as his Apocalypse blasted Roget.

Roget: 0

"He's gone!" Gong exclaimed in shock. "Not for long." Moon Shadow said.

Roget appeared again.

"How is he doing that?" Sylvio asked shocked.

Roget: 2000

"You can never get rid of me." Roget said confidently.

"Good cause I have you right where I want you." Declan said. "Because I destroy Nikola and Thomas, then I can use Nikola's effect to return Apocalypse to my hand, then return both Nikola and Thomas to my Pendulum Zones, then dealing 2000 points of damage of Apocalypse's defense points, meaning I can defeat you again and again until the end of time."

Roget gasps in shock realzing what the Lancer Leader was getting.

"So you lose Roget, I mean the real Roget up there." Declan added as he gazed up at window which the real Roget was looking out with Visor.

There beside him was Zuzu.

"ZUZU!" Yuya called.

"You can never fool me!" Declan stated.

Roget took of his visor. "Argh, you think you're so smart, I'm taking Zuzu with me back to the Fusion Dimension then handing her to your father the Professor!"

Everyone gasped expect for Declan including Shay and his Xyz comrades.

"Gong don't get what you mean!" Gong said confused.

"He hasn't told you about his father, that doesn't surprise me, he is Leo Akaba's son the Leader of Duel Academy!" Roget explained.

"So his father is the leader of the punks that we were fighting against?" Sylvio asked.

"Gong don't believe what you say!" Gong protested.

"Its true, Declan has cunningly made your accompanlies into the Dimensional war!" Roget added maliciously.

"NO WAY!" Yuya yelled.

"Don't be so naive, the Professor's plan was to split the work, he conquers the Fusion and Xyz Dimension, Declan conquers the Synchro and Standard Dimension, also Declan never told that you all are Leo's private army!" Roget replied maliciously.

Everyone gasped in shock.

"Also I know something else, I learned Raptor, Sibella, and Leonardo has powers beyond of anyone here." Roget added.

"What do you mean?" Akiza asked.

"I mean that Raptor has the power to merge with one of his Xyz Dinosaur Monsters!"

Akiza and the Synchro Duelists gasped in shock.

"There is more, Leonardo has that power too!"

Sherry gasped at she glanced at Leonardo.

"Finally, Sibella has new form she can transform into, I learned that from a few Stomptroopers she defeated, back then I saw in a footage from the facility that she's also part Vampire."

Sherry, Crow, Akiza, Elsworth, and Jack gasped in shock.

"Basically those Xyz duelists might be dangerous then the Duel Academy warriors!" Roget said laughing.

"Yes, I'm part Dinosaur but it was because a dinosaur fragment which was implanted into my leg due a land slide accident." Raptor explained. "As for me, Leonardo and I have the power to merge with one of our Xyz monsters!"

"Yeah, we use only use to help our friends and family!" Leonardo declared.

"As for me, I don't know how I'm part vampire but I will do anything to become human and I will keep protecting my friends!" Sibella proclaimed.

"Whatever, anyway I'm in the way of Duel Academy's plan so they want me out of their way, things are going according to their plan, once I get pushed aside Declan will declare king of this city, including the whole Synchro Dimension!"

Declan fixed his glasses again. "You lay out a convincing story however there is one small problem, if what you're saying is true, then why did they send you to this dimension, after all you were the best that Duel Academy has to offer, beyond that I faith that Shay's three friends won't hurt anyone."

Roget went silent at Leo's son statement.

"You're nothing but a no good liar, I believe in Declan 100 percent he's trying to help us while you're only helping yourself!" Yuya protested.

Declan smiled at the Dueltainer's words.

"That goes for Raptor, Sibella, and Leonardo, I mean we did have differences back then when we first met and even when we teamed up as in the Lancers, but I believe in them too!"

Raptor astonished so was Leonardo and Sibella.

"Yes, I believe in them including Raptor!" Akiza protested as she grabbed the Dinosaur Duelist's arm. "He stood up for me after our first duel, beyond that thanks to him and Sibella especialy Shay I learned you were the one responsible for Misty's brother's disappearence!"

Sherry walked foward. "I want to know why you turned my parents into cards!"

"Oh, Sherry Leblanc, I remember your father's company tried to develop Fusion Monsters however I couldn't let that happen because..." Roget began to say.

"That would blow your cover and people would start to get suspicious of you." Declan finished.

"I think I know why you suddenly ordered Sergey to get ride of Toby!" Shay declared. "From what I saw in Jack's duel against Sergey, I have feeling Toby saw his true form."

"Yes, its true that boy wouldn've caused a problem if he told anyone about Sergey's true form." Roget said with cold look. "So I had Sergey take him to me and I turned him into a card."

Everyone gasped in shock.

"Where is Toby now?" Misty asked angrily. "He is in a safe that is hidden in my office, including Sherry's parents." Roget replied smiling maliciously.

"I want you to let Zuzu go!" Yuya demanded.

"I don't think so, Zuzu is the key to my survival." Roget said as he grabbed her shoulder.

They soon were going down an elevator.

"Now off Duel Academy and the Professor, I'm sure he'll award me, don't worry I'm sure you won't be so cold and damped, I can't wait to see the look on his face." Roget said with a smirk.

"Hey, Roget!" A voice called out.

There was Crow, Jack, and Katt.

Jack had his Red Dragon Archfiend, Crow his Blackwing Rain Shower, and Katt had her Flame Nyan Cat Lady.

"Hey, your ride is about to hit rock bottom!" Crow stated. "You're the one that threw New Domino City into chaos, now its time to pay!" Jack stated with a glare. "The hard way too!" Katt hissed.

"Now Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, turn up the heat!" Jack commanded.

Red Dragon Archfiend whammed the elevator with its left hand smashing the elevator as Roget fall out so did Zuzu.

"Oh no!" Jack screamed.

"ZUZU!" Yuya called as he swung as he caught his friend in his arms. "Hip-Hippo!"

Hip-Hippo leaped just in time to break his owner's fall and they landed safety.

Zuzu was out cold. "Wake up." Yuya said as the others arrived.

"Its alright you're safe now." He added as he embraced his friend.

Their friends smiled at the scene at least some of them.

"Oh please." Raptor muttered annoyingly as he felt Akiza's wrap her arms around his right arm.

"Stop this sappy stuff." Leonardo said with a chuckle.

Sherry stood by him and winked at the blue haired Xyz User which made him blush that he turned his face away. "I thank you and your friends finding where my parents are now."

"(I just hope Roget's words are true about her parents including this boy Toby being his office.)" Declan thought.

Just then Misty approached Shay.

"Shay." She said which got everyone's attention.

"What is it?" The Raidraptor Xyz User asked as the super model embraced him. "Thank you and your friends for helping me find the truth about my brother."

Jenna and Sibella twitched seeing the super model hugging the man they love.

Just then Roget was climbing up from the edge of the walkway. "This isn't over yet!"

"He doesn't give up easily!" Sylvio exclaimed.

"Of course, I always have another plan ready, what you are standing on is transportal machine, that is never known, with it I'm sending you all to other dimensions!" Roget proclaimed.

"That's crazy!" Jack yelled. "He's one short card of a deck." Crow remarked.

"The best part is that I have no idea where you'll end up, I hope you don't scare easily cause some of these dimensions can be horrific and this is checkmate." Roget said pressing his palm on the control set.

"I'm clearing the board, bon voyage cause you lose, YOU ALL LOSE, HA, HA, HAAAA!"

Green lights rippled across the wall adn surged up the bottom of the room then electrical acrcs began to crackle over the machine.

Roget turned to face the Lancers. "Ha, ha, ha, I'm really out done myself this time, this is the end game!"

Riley was then blown away but Declan caught him. "You saved me!"

"Hang on!" Jack called.

His Dragon, with Crow's Assault Blackwing and Katt's Flame Nyan Cat Lady jumped down but were destroyed by the Dimensional Transporter's force.

The green light surges even further and went up out of the buidling which got everyone in the city to look in shock.

"Its time, time for you all to fall!" Roget laughed manically.

Just then a wormhole beneath the walkway shattered cause of electricty strike the edge and dislodge Roget. "AAAAAHHHH!" He screamed as he disappeared into the wormhole.

"We're all in one piece." Crow said in relief. "Meow, that was blow." Katt commented in relief as well.

"I promised to get you back with your friends." Yuya said with a smile.

Zuzu smiled back.

Suddenly the transportal machine rebooted. "Its rebooting again!"

Zuzu was then blown away from her friend. "Aaah!"

She was then sucked into the wormhole.

"ZUZU!" Yuya screamed as he too was sucked in.

Then Gong grabbed him.

"Don't let go!" Yuya screamed as Shay grab hold of Gong from behind, then Sylvio, Leonardo, Sherry, and Jenna did.

Then they too were sucked into the wormhole.

"Shay, Leonardo, Yuya, Zuzu, Jenna, Sherry!" Sibella screamed as she ran so did Raptor but the wormhole disappeared quickly.

"What happened?" Crow asked.

"I'm not sure but it seems that likely that Roget's Dimensional transportal machine has malfuncted, creating a wormhole." Roget answered.

"A wormhole is space like connection, almost like a tunnel between dimensions." Sora explained.

"Correct, however wormholes can't be predicted." Declan stated. "Where is Yuya and the others?" Riley asked

"Do you think they're ok?" Raptor asked concerned. "

"Not sure what dimension they will be in, let alone we'll find out, they could be lost forever." Declan replied.

Sibella, Raptor, Elsoworth, and Katt were speechless so were the others.

A short time later.

Yuya, Sylvio, and Gong woke up, Yuya was the first to see where they were.

"Whoa, looks like New Domino City got blown away!" Sylvio exclaimed.

"We're not in New Domino City." A voice answered which was Shay gazing ahead with Jenna and Leonardo.

"What is this place then?" Sherry asked. "And how do you know its not the Synchro Dimension?" Gong asked.

"This is our home." Jenna asnwered. "At least what is left of it." Shay added.

"We're all in the Xyz Dimension." Leonardo stated.

Everyone gazed the destruction of the city that was once their friends home.

End of Chapter.
