Alright readers Dan went with Shay to listen to his side of the story about Sora's friends invading his home, and know the truth about what happened. ENJOY!


Dan, and Shay we're walking by themselves to a spot where they could get some privacy. Dan does feel uncomfortable being with the guy that totally outclasses him since Shay defeated him, and Sora. But he has questions, and he's gonna get them answered. Finally they stopped at a small ally, "Alright now we have the privacy we needed."

"So tell me what's going on?" Dan asked him as Shay turned.

Shay warned, "You won't like what you hear."

"I know, I won't. But I have to know." Dan pointed out.

Shay knowing Dan made a good point nodded before he started to explain what's going on. Heartland City back at his home was a peaceful place where he lived with his friends Yuto, Allen, Saya, many more, and his sister Lulu. Three years ago Yuya's father Yusho came to the Xyz Dimension, and taught Dueltaining to them to give them a smile, and a reason for dueling. Then one day Yusho disappeared to where they were ambushed by a surprise attack from the Fusion Dimension. Overwhelmed by the Fusion Warriors, Shay, and his friends were helpless to watch as many of their people were turned into cards even after people who weren't duelists, and not only that they heard that they have taken Shay's sister. Swearing revenge, and promising to get Lulu back they traveled to this Dimension to get back at the Fusion Dimension, as they mistake some LID Fusion Duelists for members of the Fusion Dimension. It was when he was clarified by Declan who had a chance to encounter him that he was after the wrong school where he said he'll guide him, and Yuto to the right path against Duel Academy by entering the Battle Royal.

Dan was no doubt shocked, and flabbergasted when he heard everything. He is having a hard time registering what he have heard, and Shay's side of the story. And not only that it is also that Sora is a undercover agent. Shay then mentioned, "I could still hear the laughing of the Fusion Dimension's Warriors. And it also pains me to look at Zuzu since she looks like my sister."

That caught Dan off guard. First Yuto looks like Yuya, and now Lulu looks like Zuzu? What is going on here? Dan told him, "Shay... I'm so sorry for everything... If I was able to figure out sooner..."

"...Don't." Shay told him, "You can't stand against Duel Academy by yourself."

Dan nodded sadly before he sensed something, and looked over, "Whoa what was... Hey listen. Thanks for explaining the whole thing to me Shay. If it makes you feel better I'll help you find Lulu."

As he ran off Shay called, "Wait a second!"

Stopping he turned to Shay who looked before letting out a small smile, "Thank you..."

Dan smiled nodded before running back to the direction he sensed. Shay looked on before muttering, "Dan Kizami... I won't forget that name..."

With that he walked off to meet Declan like he originally intended.


With Dan...

Dan ran to find what he sensed late at night, and soon finds at the park was Sora with nothing on his field, Yuya with Timegazer Magician, and Stargazer Magician in his Pendulum Zones, and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon on his field, and Yuto that has Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon with a face-down, and a face-up Trap Card.

(Yuto: 3000)

(Sora: 1300)

(Yuya: 4000)

"Sora! Yuya! Yuto!" Dan cried their names catching their attention.

"Dan?" Yuto asked surprised.

Yuya asked, "What are you doing here Dan?"

"Yuya listen, I heard everything from Shay!" Dan told him making Sora's eyes widen, "And I know why these two are going after Sora."

"Yeah, I do to from Zuzu." Yuya admitted, "But I still consider Sora as a friend at most!"

"You side with an invader?" Yuto asked him.

Yuya turned to him, "I know he's my friend from the bottom of my heart, and Sora does too!"

Now seeing Yuto, and Yuya at once place Dan looked around, and sees that Yuto, and Yuya's faces do look similar with Yuto's mask off. Except Yuto has purple, and black hair with black clothing on him. Sora only glared, "You want to help? Then stay out of my way! It's my turn!"

Sora drew, and called, "I activate my trap Designer Frightfur! So now I can summon Tomahawk from the graveyard but it's treated as a Frightfur!"

Edge Imp Tomahawk appeared before Sora called, "And then I activate Frightfur Fusion! So now I fuse Edge Imp Tomahawk, Frightfur Bear, and Edge Imp Frightfurloid to summon a new monster! And now, Yuto, it's time for you to witness the reason I was selected top in my class! Get ready to be floored by the most furious Fusion Monster you've ever seen!"

His duel disk then started to turn to static, and beep which caught his attention. "No! You can't take my away now! Hello? Someone? Anyone! Just let me stay 'til I beat him! Trust me, I can do it! Don't take me away!"

At that he vanished in a blue glow which alarmed Yuya, and Dan.

"Uh, Sora? Yuto, where is he?" Yuya asked his lookalike, "What did you do to Sora?"

"Yuya... That wasn't Yuto's doing." Dan told him, "It looked like that someone from Sora's home forced him back."

"Forced him back?" Yuya asked hearing that.

"That's right. His home." Yuto confirmed, "Just like me... He comes from another world."

"Enough of this nonsense!" Yuya snapped, "There are no other worlds out there! There's just this one! So quit messing around already and tell me the truth!"

"...Yuya. Yuto is saying the truth." Dan told him making both boys turn to him, "Trust me, I know he's right. Shay looked so furious, and so desperate to explain to me, that I know he's saying everything."

"Yes." Yuto nodded agreeing, "Back at Duel Academy."

"Okay, tell me more about this Duel Academy." Yuya told him wanting answers.

Yuto told him, "It's a school that teaches it's members to duel. And not in a good way. They train duel warriors there."

"Duel warriors?" Yuya asked shocked hearing that.

Meanwhile Dan sensed something else, and looked around, 'Who on...'

"Enough talk let's get back to the battle. After all, Yuya... Even though Sora is long gone, we have a duel to finish. And finish it I shall." Yuto told him drawing before playing, "I activate the spell, Emergency Provisions. For every Spell or Trap card on my field that I send to the graveyard, I gain an additional 1000 Life Points."

Sending his two traps to the graveyard Yuto glowed. (Yuto: 5000)

"And with that I end my turn." Yuto said closing his eyes.

Dan too busy looking around to care for Yuto, and Yuya's duel looked around for whatever it was he had sensed. As Yuto as busy explaining to Yuya what happened Dan was also busy looking for what ever it is. After Yuya argued that Dueling is suppose to be for fun a bright light suddenly occurred as they turned their attention to it. When light dimmed they looked to see their is someone there. Someone wearing a white suit, and having on a white,and blue helmet as well. Not only that he is also on a white, and green motorcycle. Taking off his helmet the rider reveals he has yellow and blue hair, and serious blue eyes. Dan widen his eyes to see that this guy has the same face like Yuya, and Yuto's.

"It's you..." Yuto said narrowing his eyes.

The rider looking at Yuto remarked, "Whoa... Hold on... You're who I've been searching for! For a long time, too!"

"Uh... Would someone mind telling me why there's now another guy who looks just like me?" Yuya asked totally lost, "'Cause this is just starting to get really strange here..."

"Wish there was Yuya." Dan said also totally lost.

"C'mon! What's the deal here!? Why do you both look like me!?" Yuya asked now frustrated.

Neither of them answered as the rider cracked his knuckles, "Your loser buddies aren't here to save you this time. I demand a rematch, here and now!"

"That's a laugh!" Yuto told him accepting his challenge, "I don't need anybody to save me from a fusion follower like you, "No-go"!"

"No-go?" Dan asked in confusion.

The rider snapped, "I warned you before. Don't call me "No-go"! The name's Yugo!"

"Yugo?" Dan, and Yuya asked in sync.

Just then his bike said, "Duel mod engaged. Autopilot activated."

That made Dan widen his eyes hearing that Yugo's bike just said, 'Those words... Then that must be a... A Duel Runner!'

As Yugo put his helmet he yelled, "Your toast!"

With that he sped off.

"LET'S DUEL!"

"Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"

His dragon appeared roaring ready for combat.

(ORU: 2)

"Both of them have their powerful Drag-" Dan started only to see Yuya is in pain, "Yuya? What's wrong?"

"Something's wrong... My chest it's on fire!" Yuya cried clutching his chest.

Dan looked over to see nothing's wrong before he sees the two Dragons roaring at each other as Yugo, and Yuto looked in pain also. Yuto grunted calling, "I... I activate Dark Rebellion's ability! I use an Overlay Unit to reduce your dragon's points by half, and in return Dark Rebellion gains those points! Treason Discharge!"

Dark Rebellion fired lighting at Clear Wing. Yugo called, "I play Clear Wing's ability! When a monster effect activates that targets a level 5 or higher monster it's negated, destroyed, and it gains it's attack points! Dichroic Mirror!"

Clear Wing shot a lethal light from his wings as Yuto watched in shock as his dragon shattered.

Clear Wing Synchro Dragon: (ATK: 2500 + 2500 = 5000)

"Amazing..." Dan said in shock at this before pausing seeing that's bad, "Wait... Yuto doesn't have any cards on his field, or his hand!"

Yuto grunted seeing that he's now helpless. Yugo grinned, "Looks like I'm getting her back after this."

That caught Dan's attention, 'What?'

Before he shook his head running in, and getting in front of Yuto surprising the two.

"Dan?" Yuto asked seeing that.

Dan told Yugo, "Duel me Yugo! Leave Yuto out of this!"

"Oh your buddy-buddy with a kidnapper?" Yugo glared.

Dan shook his head, "No he isn't a kidnapper. His own friend was kidnapped like your's."

"What?" Yugo asked hearing that.

"It's true." Yuto nodded, "I want her back as much as you want your's back."

Yugo looked before saying to Dan, "Alright Dan. Hit me with your best shot!"

Dan nodded as he said to Yuto, "Yuto I'll have your Life Points so it'll be fair but I'll have my own hand."

Yuto looked before nodded, "Be careful on what you do."

Dan nodded as he activated his Duel Disk.

"LET'S DUEL!"

'Where did he get Jack's Dragon? Ah well this is great practice against the Master of the Faster!' Yugo thought with a grin.

Dan called, "Waltz Token attack his monster!"

The token attacked Yugo's dragon destroying it, but it didn't cause damage.

"Neither of us take any damage when the Waltz Token battles." Dan explained to them.

Yugo widen his eyes, "So that's why you attacked with the token first!"

"Red Dragon Archfiend attack him!" Dan called as his dragon charged.

His tuner appeared.

"And then the trap card, Call of the Haunted!" Yugo called as a trap appeared.

"So now I can summon a monster from the graveyard! Come back Clear Wing!" Yugo called as his dragon reappeared ready for battle, "And now level 1 Red-Eyed Dice tunes level 7 Clear Wing!"

Eyes widening Dan, Yuto, and Yuya watched as Red-Eyed Dice, and Clear Wing tuned.

(LV: 7 + 1 = 8)

"Holy..." Dan trailed off seeing the dragon.

"And it has more then your dragons!" Yugo grinned. "Crystal Wing attack Red Dragon Archfiend!"

The evolved dragon charged at Red Dragon Archfiend who roared in defiance.

"Why are you doing that?" Dan asked confused.

Yugo grinned, "For it's ability! Crystal Wing gains the attack points of a level 5 or higher monster on your field!"

Eyes widening Dan looked.

Crystal Wing: (ATK: 6000 - 3000 = 3000)

Dan 2nd Turn:

'Wait... Is he doing what I think he's doing...' Yugo thought in shock.

"Now level 1 Red Nova, and Level 3 Dark Resonator double tunes with level 8 Red Dragon Archfiend!" Dan called shocking Yuto, and Yugo.

"No way!" Yuto cried shocked.

"Wait Double Tune?" Yugo asked shocked.

Red Nova, and Dark Resonator turned to 4 flaming rings as Red Dragon Archfiend roared became encased in them.

(LV: 8 + 1 + 3 = 12)

Dan chanted, "Behold as the stars high above in the sky, and the fire deep down below in the earth collide in a cosmic explosion to Synchro Summon Red Nova Dragon!"

"Now Waltz Token get Crystal Wing!" Dan called as his token charged at Crystal Wing.

Yugo called, "Crystal Wing's ability! So now it gains attack points equal to your Token's!"

Crystal Wing destroyed the token but Dan didn't took damage.

Crystal Wing: (ATK: 6000 - 3000 = 3000)

"Well now Red Nova gains 500 points for every tuner in my graveyard!" Dan called as Red Nova roared. (ATK: 3500 + (500 * 3) = 5000), "Take down Crystal Wing, Red Nova Dragon!"

Red Nova Dragon charged to finish the dragon off only for Yugo to grin, "Nice try, but not enough!"

"Huh?" Dan asked confused.

Yugo called, "You think it's once per turn? Fat chance!"

Crystal Wing: (ATK: 3000 + 5000 = 8000)

"Oh no!" Yuya cried in shock seeing that, "Dan's gonna lose!"

Dan watched helpless as his dragon charged in as Crystal Wing retaliated, "Crystal Cataclysmic Strike!" At that Crystal Wing, and Red Nova Dragon attacked but Red Nova Dragon was easily overwhelmed as Crystal Wing charged at Dan who looked on fearful as the dragon struck him as cried out as he hit hard against the wall.


Dan: 0000

Yugo: 1000

Yugo wins the duel!


"Dan!" Yuya cried as he, and Yuto ran over to him.

Dan looked like he's trying to stay awake as he said to Yuto, "Yuto... I'm sorry... I wasn't able to help... And ran into a trap..."

"It's alright Dan. You did stop me from purposely harming Yugo." Yuto told him, "Also that sure is knowledge for the future if you battle him again."

Dan chuckle a little, "Yeah... I guess."

Yugo sped to them as he asked, "I didn't do too much to you did I?"

Dan answered, "No... Though I think I'm gonna... Pass out soon..."

"Okay so... Yuto is it?" Yugo asked him as the Xyz lookalike nodded, "Is it true that like me, your friend is captured?"

"Yes. And I though it was you since you have the face of her kidnapper." Yuto admitted.

Yugo nodded, "Same to me at you. But who is it?"

"He might be from the Fusion Dimension." Yuto answered, "And you also outclassed me with that Dragon."

"Me, and Clear Wing are a tough duo huh?" Yugo chuckled.

Yuya couldn't help but chuckle at this as Dan smiled tired, "Yuya... I think I'm gonna sleep now..."

"Go ahead Dan. You need rest after it." Yuya told him.

Dan smiled nodding before closing his eyes to rest, as the last thing he heard was someone vanishing, and Zuzu's voice.


Dan's Mind...

"H-Huh?"

Dan looked around seeing he's in a grassy landscape. "W-Where am I?"

"Dan Kizami..."

Dan turned to see a glowing woman was there.

"Whoa... Who are you?" Dan asked her.

The woman answered, "My name... is Ray Akaba."


Didn't expect that twist did ya? Some guest requested for Dan to have a partner, and while I didn't plan on one I figure why not since Dan has a connection with Ray soon. No he isn't Zarc, and Ray's son if your thinking that. Yeah he lost to Yugo, and Yuto didn't get absorbed. I feel Yuto deserves more Duels with his Phantom Knights since the only other times we seen him duel was against Aster, and the possessed Celina, and Lulu. And for Yuto fans that must be a blast for it. For Yuya fans don't worry it won't mean he can't Xyz Summon, or use his Xyz Magicians. He instead has solutions for them. Alright next up comes that Dan had been training with Ray in his mind, and is now the second round where he is against a favorite character of mine, and he is Gong Strong! What would Dan's Dragons do against Gong's Superheavy Samurais? Find out next chapter! Be sure to review!
