"Zoey!" Yukin called. Zoey's next opponent was against Ezekiel, but he was brutal. Not only did he willing harm himself, he sent Zoey flying in the other direction and she ended up crashing into a building. Fearing what happened, Yukin became frantic for answers. "What happened?! Where is she?!"

"Well, Ezekiel is moving on to the semi-finals." Marcy announced. "We'll now get ready for our next duel."

"Next duel?! Are you serious?!" Yukin said as he couldn't believe they would just ignore the fact that someone is seriously hurt.

"Our next duel is going to be between Yukin and Shiro!" Marcy announced. That was when his door opened and Steve stepped forward.

"Are you ready to go, Yukin?!" Steve asked. Yukin could care less about the duel right now. He frantically ran over to Steve and grabbed him by his shirt.

"Steve! What happened to Zoey?!" Yukin said.

"I... I don't know..." Steve said.

"Don't know?! She could be hurt!" Yukin said.

"Yukin!" Shiro called as he walked over. "Are you ready for our duel?"

"Are you serious?! What about Zoey?!" Yukin said. "How could they just leave her? She could be hurt or worse!"

"They don't care about her anymore." Shiro said. "She lost her duel. Since she lost, she means nothing to them now."

"You've got to be kidding me?!" Yukin as his rage towards this city increases. "What if she's hurt?!"

"They don't care. That's how this city works. You're only important when you win." Shiro said as he walked past Yukin and focused on the duel. "That's why I'm going to change everything. The rebellion is almost here. Once it starts, we'll take this city and those higher-ups won't keep us down anymore. We nobodies shall rise. If they won't accept us as equals, we'll take it by force. We'll see if they think they're still special when we take everything from them."

"Shiro, no!" Yukin said. "A rebellion isn't going to solve anything. How is that going to make things better? You need to bring the city together, not break it apart even further."

"Yukin, you're from outside Nitro City. You don't understand." Shiro said. "I'm done waiting for a day that's never going to happen. The time has come for us to rise and take this city. You're a good guy, but I can't afford to be defeated. Sorry, but you're going down, Yukin." Shiro is set on winning. Yukin doesn't agree with Shiro's methods, but what can he do?

...

Rojin

Everything was going just as Rojin wanted. Now that Yukin is going against Shiro, someone who is trying to start a rebellion, he just needs to wait until Yukin actually beats him and use it to his advantage.

"I'm actually hoping you win, Yukin." Rojin said. That was when he was getting some sort of call. "Go ahead." He said when he answered it.

"Sir, we have a problem. We're investigating the crash, but there's no sign of Zoey around. She's not here."

"What?!" That part he surely wasn't expecting. "She couldn't have walked away after a crash like that! Find her! She couldn't have gotten far!" That part didn't go according to his plan. "It would seem that the queen managed to allude me, but she can't keep running forever."

...

The Arena

"It's time to rev those engines once more!" Marcy announced. "It's now time to start the second round's second duel! Here come the boys that are riding to the top! We've got Shiro and Yukin!" When she announced they were next, both of them rode out and took their positions for the duel.

"Sorry, Yukin. I'm winning this." Shiro said. Yukin didn't even respond like he doesn't care at the moment.

'I'll have to deal with Shiro and his rebellion a little later.' Yukin thought. 'I can't focus without knowing if Zoey is safe. Even if it means I have to forfeit the duel, I need to get to where Zoey crashed. My friends are more important than winning.'

"Start those engines boy! Remember that the first one that makes it out makes the first move!" Marcy announced as the two of them readied themselves for what's ahead as the countdown was starting. "Here we go!" The countdown reached zero and they both took off.

"Let's duel!" They both said and got 4000LP. They both raced for the the track and they all waited to see who would make it first. Once they both made it, Shiro was the first to make it out.

"Shiro is the first out and he make the first turn!" Marcy announced.

"This isn't just my turn. It's our turn! We need to come together and rise!" Shiro announced as he was trying to get the rebellion going. "It's time we rise and show all those higher-ups that we're not ones to be pushed around! They think we're insects, but we'll prove we insects can bite! Come and take part in the battle, Colonist Poison Sting!" Shiro started the duel by summoning out a bee that had a poisonous stinger. It also had 300atk points. "Colonist Poison Sting's ability activates! When it's summoned, you instantly lose 300LP!" His insect shot needles from its stinger and blasted Yukin as his life points dropped to 3700. "I place one card facedown to end this turn!"

"Shiro's made a good start as he already dealt some damage to Yukin!" Marcy announced.

"This is just the start! Time to rise up! Time to rebel!" Shiro announced. He already got the crowd going in his last duel. Some of them actually agree with what Shiro is saying with the rich feel like they could be in trouble.

...

Ryo

Ryo was in his room and watched the duel unfold. He wasn't entirely sold on what Shiro was trying to do.

"I know Shiro and I had it rough, but does he really think a rebellion is the answer?" Ryo said. "Does he have to take down a friend for this rebellion? Shiro, how far are you willing to go?"

...

The Duel

"My turn!" Yukin said as he drew his next card, but he was more focused on Zoey. 'I need to end this duel fast and get to Zoey.' Throwing strategy and such out the window, he just played his cards. "I summon Blue Moon Wolf!" He summoned out his wolf with it having 1800atk points. "Blue Moon Wolf, attack! When Blue Moon Wolf attacks, he gains an extra 300atk points!" His wolf leaped at the bee as its strength increased to 2100.

"How careless. I have a trap!" Shiro said as he activated it. "I'm playing United Resistance! I pay 400LP to stop your attack!" The attack was blocked as Shiro's life points dropped to 3600. "This trap has another effect! Just like we nobodies come together, my monsters will come together! I can summon the other two from my deck!" He summoned out two other Colonist Poison Stings. "That means you're taking even more damage!" His bees fired away and Yukin took even more damage with his life points dropping to 3100.

"Oh boy. Yukin tried attacking, but he ended up getting stung instead." Marcy announced.

'I can't focus. Not until I know Zoey is safe.' Yukin thought. Until he knows Zoey is safe, there's not much he can really do. What he didn't know was that something else was coming his way. Soto was actually in the city and he had something to say to Yukin. As he made his way to the top of the building, he got himself ready.

"Kids, don't try this." Soto said. He waited until he saw both duelists heading his way. He did something that was crazy. He jumped right off the building and headed straight down. Luck would have it that Soto landed straight on Yukin's runner. Yukin looked behind him and was surprised to see it was Soto. "Hey, Yukin."

"Soto?! What are you doing here?!" Yukin asked as he didn't think he would see Soto so soon.

"Look what I got." Soto said as he showed Yukin a helmet; the same helmet that Zoey had earlier.

"That's Zoey's! What are you doing with that?!" Yukin said.

"Talk later. Just know that she's safe. Now focus on winning this duel and come find me when you're done." Soto said. That was all he said before he jumped off and vanished. Yukin almost couldn't believe it. Last time he saw Soto, he was the enemy.

'Why would he show me that? Is Soto actually helping me?' Yukin wondered. 'Well, now that I know Zoey is safe, I can focus on winning this.' "I place one card facedown to end my turn!" With the end of Yukin's turn, his wolf's attack points returned to normal.

"That was a pretty lousy turn, Yukin." Shiro said. "I hate to do this, but I got to take the opportunity to win."

"Shiro, I understand that you've been through a lot of hard times." Yukin said. "I get that it might be tough living in this city, but a rebellion isn't the answer. All that's going to do is cause more pain. You need to bring the people together."

"Forget it, Yukin. If they don't care about us, why should we care about them?" Shiro said. "The higher-ups of this city need to be brought down. The rebellion will change the city."

"But it will show that you're no better than they are." Yukin said.

"I don't care. They need to be brought down." Shiro said. "Do you hear me?! It's time for us to rise and take this city!" Shiro's words were getting through to those that are just like him as they copied his motions. "Our turn!" He drew his next card as others mimicked him. "Rise and join the fight, Colonist Twin Sting!" Shiro summoned out humanoid bee that had two stingers on its arms with it also having 1600atk points. "I now tune level four Colonist Twin Sting with all three of my level one Colonist Poison Stings!" His humanoid bee broke apart into four circles and came around the bees with each one turning into a star. "Fly and strike enemies of the hive! I synchro summon Colonist Hana the Bow!" A beam shot through and a new monster emerged. It was a humanoid bee that appeared female since it appeared to be wearing a dress. It was also purple and white with a bow. This monster also had a total of 2800atk points.

"Shiro isn't messing around with that monster!" Marcy announced.

"I'm also going to activate Sky's the Limit! With this, Hana gains an extra 1000atk points!" Shiro said as he played a spell and Hana's power increased to 3800.

"This is gonna hurt." Yukin said as he braced himself.

"Hana, launch the signal to start the rebellion! Attack Blue Moon Wolf with Stinging Arrow!" Shiro ordered. Hana pulled back the string of her bow and formed an arrow. The arrow was fired and blasted Yukin's wolf. Not only was his wolf destroyed, but Yukin's life points dropped to 1100. "I'm afraid there's more. When Hana destroys a monster, you have to send one card in your hand to the graveyard." Yukin didn't like it, but he had no choice as he took a card in his hand and sent it to the graveyard. "This is the start! The rebellion will soon begin! It's our time to make this city ours!"

"Shiro, stop!" Yukin said. "You cant' start a rebellion! That's not going to bring the city! This isn't the way to go!"

"I told you before that I'm done waiting for something that's never going to happen." Shiro said. "Rather than wait for something to happen, I'll make something happen. No more will we be oppressed! No more will be claimed we're worthless! It's time these higher-ups know what feels like to be pushed down! It's time they see that we're more powerful than we think, and the rage we have will only make us stronger!" Many people in the stands began to feel the same way they did. Feeling like nothing in the city is going to change, they're going to take matters in their own hands and take the city by force.

"Sorry, Shiro, but I can't let you do this." Yukin said as he doesn't agree with what Shiro is saying. "If I have to beat you to stop this rebellion, I will!" Now that Yukin is focused on the duel, he can't afford to lose. He might be the only thing that can stop this rebellion.
