Later, an officer informs the Director that they have secured Commons from the audience that are suspected to be dangerous characters, and they also have the two Xyz and Pendulum Summoners and their accomplice. Viewing Gong, Dennis, and Shay on a screen, the Director congratulates the officer before ordering him to continue expanding the search area. He orders the underground area to be thoroughly searched, as the others may have sought shelter among the Commons, and to restrain anyone who resists by any means necessary. The officer replies, "Understood" and signs off. The Director looks at his chessboard with a smirk, commenting that it's perfect; now they can give the City a major cleanup.
Frank holds up his "Colossal Fighter" monster and declares a Synchro Summon. Tanner tells him that he can't since he doesn't control a Tuner monster. Frank apologizes, and Tanner reprimands him, claiming that Frank said that he wouldn't cheat. Riley sits on the steps to Crow's house as the two Commons boys Duel, and he wonders where Declan is. Yuya steps outside, asking Frank and Tanner where Celina and Sylvio are. Frank asks if they mean the "scary big-sis" and the "big brother with the ego" (an approximate translation of Sylvio's habit of using the personal pronoun "ore-sama"). Tanner replies that he hasn't seen them, and Yuya irritably muses that they must have run off into the City center again. He looks up at one of the Tops' towering complexes, admitting that he doesn't think that they would go up that high, but they're such a handful. Riley gets up, and Yuya asks where he is going. Riley states that he's going to look for Declan and runs down the stairs, and Yuya tells him sharply that he can't. Riley stops short, and Yuya apologizes, reassuring Riley that Yuya isn't mad. Riley whispers, "big brother", and Yuya reminds him that walking around the City right now is bound to be dangerous; Crow said that, remember? Yuya suggests that they wait for now, reassuring Riley that he'll definitely let him see Declan.
Ryuu attacks directly with Stardust Spark Dragon and reduces the LP of his opponent from 1000 to 0 the same action repeated by Yuto through the effect of his Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon. The two duelists then kneels over their opponent , asking them who the strongest Duelist here is. One of them responds Yusei Fudo to Ryuu, and the other responds Crow Hogan to Yuto.
Celina attacks directly with "Lunalight Cat Dancer", who lands a kick and reduces the LP of Celina's opponent from 500 to zero. "Cross Over" dissolves and Sylvio claps her, commenting that that's the eighth one so far. He observes that she said that she was looking for Zuzu, but so far all she seems to be doing is Dueling; will it be okay on the Zuzu front?
Celina replies that looking for Zuzu is important, but so is looking for strong Duelists. She deactivates her Duel Disk and kneels down in front of her opponent, fiercely asking him who the strongest Duelist here is. The shaken boy nods to a poster of Jack Atlas.
Sylvio muses that he's been seeing his name around a lot, and Celina asks the boy where she can Duel him. In a nearby alleyway, a Sector Security officer reports to the Director, telling him that their target is locked; the girl from the other day who Fusion Summoned, and the blonde is with her too. The Director orders him to continue keeping tabs on them, as the other Pendulum Summoner must be where they are headed.
Crow learns from Yuya that Celina and Sylvio went off on their own again. Crow mutters "Seriously", asking how many times he has to remind them not to move aboveground in the daytime. Yuya apologizes, and reassures Crow that he'll talk to them. The door opens, and a man in a Turbo Dueling suit comes in with a bag in his arms, claiming that he brought what Crow asked for. As soon as he sees Yuya, he crossly asks if Yuya is still here. Yuya recognizes the man as one of Crow's comrades who rescued them, and Crow introduces his comrade as Shinji. Yuya thanks Shinji, and Shinji points out that Yuya is still wanted by Sector Security, and tells him not to get the kids involved. Yuya reassures them that he'll be careful. Shinji lightens up when the kids come in, cheered by Shinji's presence, something that makes Yuya smile. Shinji tips a pile of sweets and biscuits out from the bag, explaining that he brought them some treats. Frank is appreciative, and Amanda asks if Shinji stole them. Shinji is offended, claiming that he got them at a bargain, but the kids all shoot sceptical looks at him, and he indignantly asks what those are for. He tells them to never mind, and to sit down and eat. He calls over to Riley and tells him to come over and have some food; describing it as a gift from the Commons as he holds up a doughnut with a smile. Shinij comments that he'd better be heading off, and Crow thanks him. Shinji warns them to be careful, since Sector Security still have their eyes peeled all over the City. The kids bid him goodbye, and heads out and quickly makes his way off the premises. The kids dig into the food appreciatively, and Crow tells Riley to come over and eat. Riley doesn't move, so Crow comments that he'd better be quick or it'll all disappear. Riley still doesn't move, and Crow reassures him that there's no need for him to stand on ceremony; come over and eat. Riley finally asks if that is an order, and Crow bursts out laughing, commenting that Riley's been there for three days and this is the first time he's said anything. Crow puts his hands on Riley's shoulders, telling Riley that if he wants an order, he can go and wash his hands before eating. Riley nods and heads to the sink. Crow tells the other kids to go over and wash up as well, and Amanda protests that they're already eating. Crow replies that it's an order, so there are no excuses.
Crow and Yuya watch Riley wash his hands with the other kids, and Crow asks why Riley is so timid. Yuya admits that he doesn't know. Sighing, Crow reassures Yuya that since Riley is just a kid, he'll be fine moving around freely, since if he makes a mistake, he can just try to do better next time. Yuya admits that he wants to put a smile on Riley's face again, and not just Riley, he wants to fill the whole world with smiles. Crow smiles wryly, commenting that happiness is having a full stomach and Yuya doesn't get it at all. Yuya replies that smiles are symbols of happiness, and Crow asks if smiles will fill one's stomach. Yuya retorts that it doesn't matter how much you fill your stomach if you aren't smiling; you can't say you're happy. That's just loneliness. "First you have to fill your stomach!" Crow yells. "Smiles come second." Yuya replies that that's not so, and Crow apologizes for being offensive, but those are obviously the words of someone who's well off. Yuya irritably asks what Crow said, protesting that a full stomach obviously isn't enough. Crow snaps that filling one's stomach takes priority, and Yuya retorts that that's not so, as the kids take notice of the argument. Crow cheekily asks the kids if they're happiest when they eat their fill, but they don't respond, and Crow irritably asks them to say something, what about Riley? Riley freezes up in shock, and Yuya takes advantage to suggest that smiles are what make one happy, right Riley? Crow and Yuya's argument descends into them shouting "Food!" and "Smiles" at one another, as all four kids shoot skeptical looks at the young adults. Deciding that the other won't get it, Yuya and Crow challenge one another to a Duel, Yuya vowing to show Crow the Dueltaining his father perfected.
In a junk-laden alleyway, Sylvio looks at various advertisements depicting Jack, commenting that he's quite the celebrity. Celina states that she's looking forward to seeing if he lives up to his reputation. They notice two patrolling Sector Security cars, and Celina observes that security is tighter the closer they get to the City central. Sylvio agrees, and then he suggests that they head back since he's hungry.
Crow tells Yuya that he'll slam the importance of a full stomach into Yuya's rock-hard skull. Yuya replies that he'll prove that smiles are what's most important, and the two exchange another yell of "Food! Smiles!" Frank comments that there no helping it, and Tanner agrees that Yuya and Crow are getting nowhere like this. Amanda comments that they're so immature. Yuya and Crow yell, "Duel!", and Yuya's Duel Disk activates the Field Spell Card, "Cross Over". The platforms materialize, and the Action Cards scatter. Yuya takes the first turn, and declares "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" much to the kids' surprise. Confirming that he is addressing the kids, Yuya states that henceforth, his trusty monsters will treat the kids to a Pendulum Summon. Amanda and Frank are excited, and Tanner urges Yuya to hurry. Yuya tells them to give him a round of applause if he accomplishes it magnificently. Crow asks if Yuya is going for it all at once, and Yuya uses the Scale 1 "Stargazer Magician" and the Scale 8 "Timegazer Magician" to Set the Pendulum Scale. With this, he can now Summon monsters from Levels 2 to 7. Reira watches as Frank calls it awesome and Tanner continues to urge him to hurry. Yuya chants, "Swing, pendulum of the soul! Draw an arc of light across the aether! Pendulum Summon! Come, my monsters!" He Pendulum Summons "Performapal Silver Claw", "Performapal Salutiger" and last but not least, "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon". Frank and Tanner are amazed, Amanda noting the Summon of three monsters at once. Yuya states that in the blink of an eye, his Pendulum Summon made smiles blossom on the faces of these three children, and he bows. The kids all cheer, and Crow confidently calls it a little bit of reception. Yuya ends his turn, and the first act. Celina and Sylvio return, Celina surprised to see Crow and Yuya Dueling, and Sylvio comments that they got up to something interesting in his absence.
Crow declares, "Let's go! Hungry Duel start!" and then he draws a card. Since he controls no cards, he can Special Summon "Blackwing - Gust the Backblast" from his hand. Then since he controls a "Blackwing" monster, he Special Summons "Blackwing - Oroshi the Squall" from his hand, which he tells to show itself. Tanner observes that Crow Summoned two monsters in an instant as well. Next Crow Tributes "Oroshi" to Tribute Summon "Assault Blackwing - Kunai the Drizzle". Crow states that even without Pendulum Summoning calling out a bunch of monsters is a simple feat. Yuya comments that their first stages have been quite exciting, and Crow grins, commenting that it Yuya is using Pendulum Summoning, then Crow will use Synchro Summoning. Yuya is surprised, since Crow doesn't appear to control any Tuner monsters. Crow tells Yuya not to underestimate the power of his "Blackwings". He explains that since "Kunai the Drizzle" was Tribute Summoned by Tributing a "Blackwing" monster, it is treated as a Tuner monster. Crow tunes the Level 5 "Kunai the Drizzle" with the Level 2 "Gust the Backblast" and chants "Spread your jet-black wings and soar in tandem with the roaring thunder! Slash apart the lightning! Synchro Summon! Cascade! Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower!" Frank cheers the Synchro Summon, and Tanner points out that Pendulum Summoning is pretty cool too. Amanda cheekily asks if Tanner is on Yuya's side, and Frank chimes in, even after everything that Crow has done for them? Tanner protests that Pendulum Summoning is still cool. Amanda suggests that Riley is surely on Yuya's side, right? Yuya cheerfully replies that as long as he's got Riley's support, he's got the support of a hundred men on his side. Riley looks away, much to Yuya's depression and Crow's glee. Crow comments that children are honest, and Riley is on his side after all, isn't he? Riley looks away from Crow, and Crow starts feeling bad.
Shinji speeds up on his Duel Runner, yelling that it's Sector Security, telling them to run since they're surrounded. Celina asks if they were followed, and Sylvio looks up to see a Sector Security officer fire an energy net at Crow. Crow yells that this is bad before the net snares him, causing "Raikiri" to vanish. Another officer blasts a net at Yuya, and he too is captured, "Odd-Eyes" and the "Cross Over" Action Field fading away. Cursing, Shinji tries to escape, but is quickly surrounded, as is Sylvio. Celina is captured, yelling at the officers to let her go. She looks up to see the kids just in time to see Moon speed in. Moon meets her eyes, grabs Riley, and speeds away. Yuya looks around for Riley, but when he can't see him he goes into a panic, asking where Riley is. Crow, who is pinned down by Sector Security officers, yells at them to get away from the children. Yuya desperately screams Riley's name.
