Hi everyone! Rosestar48 here! Today Jack Atlas is back!

The Wicked Brand

"Tsukikage and Crow…And 5 other Academia students were all turned into cards by…A man named Battle Beast overwhelmed me and Gongenzaka with his ferocious strength. But even until the last moment, Gongenzaka believed in me…" Yuzu narrates. "Action Spell: Benkei Guard activate!" Gongenzaka declares. "One Benkai Token is Special Summon! My opponent cannot attack any other targets but this one, and this token cannot be destroyed in combat!" He explains (ATK: 1000). The Token went in front of Yuzu and takes Andabata's attack (Gongenzaka's LP: 600). "Gongenzaka!" Yuzu yells out. "Gongenzaka...took an Action Card?!" Sawatari surprised. "Gongenzaka..." Yuzu whispers. "You! If you do this, you won't be able to use your Deck!" She states. "From here on I, the man Gongenzaka, am you opponent! I won't let you lay a finger on Yuzu!" Gongenzaka declares as he held his arms out. The Continues Trap: Thumbs Down strike Gongenzaka (Gongenzaka's LP: 0). "Gongenzaka!" Yuzu calls out. As the smoke clears Gongenzaka was still standing with his arms still out "Go, Yuzu! At least you must...go forward..." Gongenzaka said before he falls down. Battle Beast move towards Gongenzaka "Wait right there. I'll turn you into a card right now!" He exclaims. Gongenzaka looks at the Battle Beast in frustration. "Gongenzaka!" Yuzu cries out. In the corridor a familiar D-Wheel appears. Just as Battle Beast was about to carded Gongenzaka, Jack Altus appears on hisWheel of Fortune and everyone gasped.

"That's-!" Yuzu gasped. "It can't be!" Gongenzaka exclaims. "No, there's no mistaking it!" Sawatari states. "It's Jack Atlas!" The three Lancers exclaims. "Sorry for making you wait, Yuzu!" Jack said. Battle Beast gasped and the moves out of the way as Wheel of Fortune land. Jack then race up and along the wall "Intrusion Penalty: 2000 LP" Jack's Duel Disk declares (Jack's LP: 2000). The Academia student all gasped. "Made you wait?! Are you a comrade of the Lancers?!" Sanders asked. "I am not a part of their group! But I won't deny that I am their ally!" Jack states as he jumps of the wall and lands back on the ground. "A ally of the Entertainment Duellist, Yuzu Hiragi!" He states. "Jack!" Yuzu exclaims. "Stand down, leave the rest to Yuzu and I" Jack tells Gongenzaka. "Y-Yeah…" Gongenzaka weakly agrees. Sawatari then came up to Gongenzaka and helps him up. "Did you know Jack was coming, and that's why you pushed yourself that far?" Sawatari asked Gongenzaka. "No, there's no way I could have!" Gongenzaka replies. "But I believed no matter how cornered we are, if I protected Yuzu, a miracle would happen" He states. "Thanks, Jack! I thought we'd meet again someday...But not like this!" Yuzu said. "I believed I had the responsibility to continue to watch over the City. Now that Tops and Commons are gone, the City is on his way to a new era. I had the responsibility to watch it develop with my own eyes. But..." Jack explains.

(Flashback)

In the City "Crow and the others have already left" Tanner said. "Leave the future of the City with us!" Frank said. "Jack! Team up with everyone else and fight Academia!" Amanda tells Jack. "So you can save the world!" The Children exclaims. "Frank and the others said that?" Yuzu asked. "Yes. I was told to follow after you all from their love for Crow. And travelled across dimensions" Jack replies.

(Flashback ends)

"Crow..." Yuzu whispers. "So, where is he?" Jack asked. "He's..." Sawatari said and Jack looks towards him and saw Crow's card and gasped in shocked. "Crow was...In order to protect me..." Sawatari explains. "I'm sorry. If we had only done better..." Yuzu said as the Battle Beast moves forward slowly. "Are you the one who did this to Crow?!" Jack asked Battle Beast with a ferrous look. Battle Beast stops in fear "And what if I was?" He asked. "I would never forgive you!" Jack states. "For the children who dent me here...I will crush you!" He declares. "Interesting! If you're going to talk big, you must have some skill to back it up!" Sanders states. "Then show it to me…How much you can fend off the greatest Battle Beast that I have created!" He exclaims. "I set one card and end my turn" Battle Beast said. "Even if he's the strongest Academia has to offer…Jack is the City's strongest Duellist! If he's tag Duelling with Yuzu a girl he's acknowledged there's no way they can lose!" Sawatari states. "Yeah! We're counting on you Jack Atlas!" Gongenzaka said. "If you want to see it then I'll show you...My Duelling that I have polished in the Synchro dimension!" Jack states. "My turn!" He declares and draws. "First, I set one card!" Jack states. "Starting off with a set card?!" Sanders states. Jack then speeds off "I Summon the Tuner Monster Red Resonator from my hand!" He declares (ATK: 600). "When I Summon a monster with the name "Red" I can Special Summon Red Warg with its ATK cut in half!" Jack explains (ATK: 700). Jack race past Battle Beast and Battle Beast growls. "I Tune my Level 6 Red Warg with my Level 2 Red Resonator!" Jack declares. "Roar of the King! Shake the heavens and forge into yourself the power of the unrivaled tyrant! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Rampaging Soul! Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!" He chants (ATK: 3000). The Academia students were amazed. Jack went pass Battle Beast again and activates his boosters "Let's go!" He declares and he jumps over Battle Beast, Battle Beast looks up in confusion. Jack land on the wall and rides on long it "Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend can once per turn destroy all Special Summoned monsters with less or equal ATK than itself! And Deals 500 damage per monster destroyed!" He explains. "Absolute Power Flame!" He declares.

"That Dragon's ATK is 3000!" An Academia student states. "So all monsters with lower ATK are destroyed?!" Another student exclaims. "There are monsters with amazing effects like these in the Synchro Dimension?!" A Female student gasped. "I activate the Continuous Trap: Gladiator Beast's Medusa Shield with Gyzarus as the target!" Battle Beast declares. "I negate Gyzarus' destruction!" He states. "Counter Trap, activate! Red Vanish!" Jack declares. "If I control a "Red" monster, this card can be activated on the turn it is Set!" He explains. "What?!" Battle Beast shocked. "A Trap that can be activated on the turn it's set?!" Sanders shocked. "It negates a Spell or Trap card my opponent has activated and destroys it!" Jack explains. The effect of Scarlight continues, Gyzarus is destroyed (Battle Beast's LP: 900). "Wow! 1500 damage in one go!" Sawatari cheers. "Wait, 500 for each one destroyed?" Sawatari confused. "It's the effect of the Continuous Trap: Thumb Down" Gongenzaka states. "I see! That Trap deals 500 damage to the controller of each card destroyed!" Sawatari understands. "With Medusa Shield and Gyzarus being destroyed it added on another 1000 to Absolute Power Flame's damage!" Gongenzaka states. "Damn you! You laid that Counter Trap because you were aiming for this from the start!" Sander furious. "I set it because if you are good enough to corner a Duellist of Yuzu Hiragi's calibre you must have something planned" Jack states. "Jack…!" Yuzu gasped. Jack jump off the wall "Too bad for you! In front of my soul, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, your petty tricks amount to nothing!" He states. Battle Beast filches "He played around my Trap card…!" Battle Beast shocked. "BB only has 900 LP…" a third male student states. "The enemy monster's ATK is 3000!" The female student states. "If he attacks him directly now…" A forth male student states. Battle Beast gasped and the snarls. Jack lands behind Yuzu and swerve around. "Unfortunately, I cannot attack on the turn that I use Red Warg's effect. Looks like you lucked out" He states. Battle Beast gave signed of relief. "What are you smiling for?!" Sanders annoyed. "Quit fooling around! You're my greatest masterpiece! The greatest Duellist Academia has to offer!" Sanders yell and he jumps down. "How dare you be relieved because a Duellist stronger than one you've ever fought before says that you've lucked out?!" He said as he lands on the ground, Battle Beast was scared went he lands.

"If that's what it's come to then I'll instruct your Duelling personally!" Sanders declares as he put on his Duel Disk. "Intrusion Penalty: 2000 LP" Sanders' Duel Disk declares (Sanders' LP: 2000). "Our Instructor is going to...!" One of the male students gasped. "Instructor Sanders is going to Duel!" Another male student exclaims. "Instructor, huh...? Interesting. Then I look forward to your teachings!" Jack comments. "I set two cards and end my turn!" He states. "At this moment the effect of Medusa Shield in my Graveyard activates!" Battle Beast declares. "I can Set a "Gladiator Beast" Trap from my Deck!" He explains. "My turn!" Sanders declares and draws. "I activate the Spell Card: Test Fusion from my hand!" He declares. "By sending Test Ape and Test Tiger to my Graveyard, I can perform a Fusion Summon ignoring Summoning requirements!" Sanders explains. "Enslaved ape man, along with the fierce tiger of the same fate, call forth your whip-wielding master! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Gladiator Beast Tamer Editor!" He chants (ATK: 2400). "I activate Tamer Editor's effect!" Sanders declares. "Once per turn, it can Summon a Gladiator Beast from an Extra Deck to its controller's field, ignoring summoning conditions!" He explains. "The one I will choose is Gladiator Beast Andabata from BB's Extra Deck!" Sanders declares (ATK: 1000). "That annoying monster is coming back again?!" Sawatari exclaims. "And from BB's Extra Deck!" Gongenzaka adds. "He can freely Summon monsters from other player's Decks then?" He wonders. "Of course, Tamer Editor is the master of all Gladiator Beasts! No matter what beast it may be it can control them with the flick of its whip!" Sanders states. "Now then BB, I've returned your monster under your control! Now you can fight freely! Show your ferocity and terror to the enemies that wait before you!" he tells Battle Beast. Battle beast was shaking in fear, Yuzu notice this and look between Sanders and Battle Beast "He's…" Yuzu thinks. "What's wrong?" Jack asked. "It's just…he's been acting weird now…" Yuzu states. "Go! This order was given to me from the Professor himself! Eliminate all Lancers aside from Reiji Akaba! And above all, you must make sure Yuzu Hiragi is crushed!" Sanders declares. Yuzu was in shock when she hears that "Yuzu-!" Sawatari shocked. "Her specifically?" Gongenzaka confuse. "W-Why…Why would the strongest power in Academia…?" Yuzu confused, she them gasped as she remembers what Reiji said before they got to Academia.

(Flashback)

"Revival Zero. This definitely is a key portion to Leo Akaba's plans. Now that Selena's existence is confirmed a part of it, it can't be denied that you are a part of it as well. Yuzu" Reiji states. "I'm…" Yuzu gasped.

(Flashback ends)

"I'm…? A part of Academia's plan…?" Yuzu whisper. "Why does the Professor know my name?" She wonders. "It doesn't matter what plan your Leader has for us, as long as Yuzu and I are teamed up, Academia's plans won't succeed!" Jack declares. "More of your baseless confidence! Let's get rid of this eyesore!" Sanders declares. "When there are two or more Gladiator Beasts present, I can activate Tamer Editor's effect and destroy one monster and deals its ATK as damage to its controller!" He explains. "The monster I will destroy is the 3000 ATK Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!" Sanders declares. "That Dragon's controller's LP is 2000!" a fifth male student states. "So if this effect goes thought…!" The female student said. "That's right! It'll be the end for you, Jack Atlas!" Sanders states. "Trap Activate: Red Armor!" Jack counters. "Red" monsters cannot be destroyed by effects this turn!" He states. "Then suffer as you watch Yuzu Hiragi destroyed before your very eyes!" Sanders states. "I make a direct attack on Yuzu Hiragi!" he declares and Tamer Editor fires a beam at the confused Yuzu. "What are you doing!?" Sawatari exclaims. "Yuzu!" Gongenzaka calls out snapping her out of it and seeing the beam heading towards her. She then jumps and activated her Roller-blades and dodge the beam. "Futile! You can't escape from Tamer Editor's attack!" Sanders states and Tamer Editor's attack curve and follows Yuzu. Yuzu was headed towards Battle Beast; Sander gasped "Don't let her get there, BB!" He orders the Battle Beast, But the Battle Beast did nothing and Yuzu went pass him. "You! Why won't you move!" Sanders shocked. Yuzu grabs an Action Card "Action Spell: Evasion!" She declares. "I negate the attack of an opponent's monster!" She states. "Nice! She dodged it!" Sawatari cheers.

"You little! Why won't you follow my orders?!" Sanders yells at Battle Beast. "This is why you couldn't become a proper solider! On the battlefield, your superior's orders are absolute! Ignoring that and acting on your own will not only lessen your chance of winning but put your allies in danger!" he tells Battle Beast. "You all are to remember this as well! Listening to your superior's orders is your absolute! Got that?!" He tells his students. "Yes sir!" They all respond. "He has the nerve to say that when his own orders got five of his students turned into cards!?" Sawatari asked. "I end my turn here" Sanders states. "All right! Go Yuzu! Beat that guy into next week!" Sawatari exclaims, but then stops when he saw something was wrong. "Yuzu?" Gongenzaka asked when he also notice that something was up with Yuzu, Jack saw this as well. "What are you thinking about?" Ruri asked Yuzu. "What does Leo Akaba know about us?" Yuzu wonders. "Us?" Ruri asked. "Reiji said that Selena and I are not uninvolved on their plans…If so then you and that girl called Rin who has the same face as us…We were all born in different Dimensions. But we kept meeting as if guided by destiny…And you and I joined together into one body…I've been always wondering why that happened but…I still haven't come up with an answer. But maybe Leo Akaba…" Yuzu states. "He might know? The reason why I'm a part of you now?" Ruri enquires. "Yeah. That and the reason why he knows my name too might be…No, they definitely are related!" Yuzu states. Ruri looked confused. "Because ever since I become one with you…! Those frightening things started happening" Yuzu states. "Being consumed by rage and seeing a defeat opponent when you come to your senses…And just like those four artistes were all Summoned together! Back then we heard a voice deep within us calling out…" Ruri states. "Yeah, a voice that wasn't mine or Ruri's. As if something else, unknown is in the depths of my soul…" Yuzu states. "So you think Leo Akaba knows what that is?!" Ruri states. "Yes! That's why he knew my names…" Yuzu replies.

"Wake up! Yuzu!" Jack calls out snapping her out of it. "Averting your eyes during the middle of a Duel is the unacceptable! What are you hesitating for?!" He asked. "If you have hesitation in your heart then let it speak through your Duelling! Scream it out with your Duelling!" He tells her. "You don't have any reason to hesitate! Just take them out! Avenge Crow and Tsukikage!" Sawatari tells Yuzu. "Don't let your comrades sacrifice go to waste!" Gongenzaka tells her. "Crow! Tsukikage!" Yuzu exclaims.

(Flashback)

"That's right…Crow and Tsukikage both…So we could push forward…" Yuzu said as she remembers Tsukikage then taking off and Crow smiling at her.

(Flashback ends)

"In order to answer to their feelings I must win this Duel!" Yuzu exclaims. "My turn!" She declares abd draws. "I Summon Medley the Melodious Diva from my hand!" Yuzu said (ATK: 500). "Once per turn, Medley can negate the effect of a monster I choose!" She explains. "The monster I choose is Andabatae!" Yuzu declares. "Nice! Now this turn Andabatae won't return to the Extra Deck and can't Special Summon any other monsters!" Sawatari exclaims. "Next, I use Medley's effect to Special Summon Marcia the Melodious Diva from my hand!" Yuzu said (DEF: 100) "And next I make Andabatae's ATK equal to Marcia's!" She declares (Andabatae's ATK: 100). "Battle! I attack Andabatae with Medley!" Yuzu declares and Medley attacks. "Due to the effect of Gladiator Beast's Medallion Andabatae isn't destroyed!" Battle Beast states and a red sphere surround Andabatae. "But the damage you take from that effect is doubled!" Yuzu states (Battle Beast's LP: 100). "I activate the Continuous Trap: Gladiator Beast's Assault Fort!" Battle Beast declares. "When I take battle damage in a combat involving a Gladiator Beast I destroyed every other card I control" He explains as Thumbs Down was destoryed. And any currently activate "Gladiator Beast" Spell or Trap cards effects are negated, and are now treated as Gladiator Beast's Assault Fort!" He explains. "Gladiator Beast's Valor and Gladiator Beast's Medallion becomes a part of the Gladiator Beast's Assault Fort!" Battle Beast states. Sawatari, Gongenzaka and the Academia student gasped in shocked and Sanders laughs. "Once per turn, Gladiator Beast's Assault Fort can on either players turn negate battle damage involving a Gladiator Beast and negate its destruction! Also, any destruction from card effect is negated!" Battle Beast explains. "What?"! Then you can't do anything!" Sawatari exclaims.

"And next I can place a Gladiator Beast from my Deck in the Gladiator Beast's Assault Fort for each one that has been created by its effect!" Battle Beasr States as two cards popped out of his Deck. "In one fort Gladiator Beast Augustus…In the other fort Gladiator Beast Laquari" He said. "Then, by returning those cards to my Deck at any time, I can deal 1000 damage to an opponent!" Battle Beast explains as he jumps on to the fort. "1000!?" Gogenzaka exclaims. "Seriously?!" Sawatari gasped. Yuzu and Jack didn't say anything. "How do you like it?! This is my trump card! If you can break though it then try!" Battle Beast exclaims and then growls. Yuzu looks at Battle Beast as he growls and Yuzu remembers how she was bullied when Yusho disappears as a child. "He's…Actually…" Yuzu thinks. "I end my turn" Yuzu said. Sander starts to laugh "You end your turn?" He comments. "Now! It's your turn! Send Jack Atlas and Yuzu Hiragi to their graves!" Sanders orders Battle Beast, but Battle Beast didn't respond. "What?" Sander confused. Battle Beast starts to act out. "What are you doing?! That was an order! Ignoring my…no Professor's orders is unforgivable!" Sanders yells at Battle Beast. Battle Beast continues to snarl. "Why won't you fight!? Refusing to fight is the same as accepting defeat! Do you want to be turned into a card?!" Sanders threatened Battle Beast. Battle Beast stopped snarling and looks at Sanders. "Get them BB! If you don't want to be turned into a card, eradicate them down to the last man!" Sanders threatened him.

"My turn!" Battle Beast declares and draws. "When there are two or more Gladiator Beasts present, any Gladiator Beast controller can activate Tamer Editor's effect!" He states. "Yes! That's more like it BB! If you use that card's effect to destroy Jack Atlas' Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend he will take 3000 points of damage and…" Sander exclaim. "The card I will destroy is…Gladiator Beast Tamer Editor!" Battle Beast declares. "What?!" Everyone gasped in shock. The students were also in shock. "And you will be dealt 2400 points of damage!" Battle Beast states. "Have you lost your mind, BB!?" Sanders asked in shock. Tamer Editor starts whipping the ground towards Sanders and Sanders screams as Tamer Editor destroyed itself.
