Okay here are the questions.
Question 1 from Ulrich362:
You haven't watched the subbed versions of the anime or read the manga, but do you plan on doing either of those once you stop Duel Academy? There are a lot of interesting things you might learn.
Dan: I'll think about that cause it seems their are still a lot of things I have to learn.
The Invasion with Obelisk Force is now over, and done with so now we can continue on with the Friendship Cup. I had been waiting for this match ever since I've first started this fic, and now it's finally time to do it! Now we can see how Dan's new Deck can handle Sergey's Earthbound Cards, and even the Earthbound Immortals. Let's see where this can go!
Summary: After promising Nick to free him from Roget, Dan along with Sora, Zuzu, and Riley all head back to the Lancers where they explained what happened to the Lancers while Dan talks with Ray on what happened with Yugo, and Yuri thinking that Yuya, and Yuto had done the same thing during their journey in the Standard Dimension. Ray explains that she knows the true secret all four of the boys possess, and reveals their true identity to Dan, and why he has to stay split. Roget meanwhile promising for Dan to be killed orders Sergey to launch a fullforce assault with his Earthbound Cards. This will be a match everyone will remember!

Previously on Ascension of the Dragons:
Obelisk Force flew overhead as they heard Declan's voice, "Dan, Riley, stay with Celina. Obelisk Force was after both Celina, and Zuzu in the Standard Dimension so their first order of business is find, and detained them both here. While we look for Zuzu take Celina to safety, and protect her from Obelisk Force."
"Ya think you're funny?" Yugo meanwhile questioned glaring at Yuri for taking a bait for him to laugh before declaring, "I'll duel that smile off ya!"
"Really?" Yuri asked with a smirk before mentioning, "Speaking of duels, I just had the strangest sensation that I had felt a bit of anger. And so were you."
"Come to think of it, while I was dueling against Sayer, I had felt quite a bit frustrated with the guy..." Yugo admitted cupping his chin thinking about it before yelling, "But don't change the subject! You're gonna take me to Rinrin right now!"
Dan, Riley, and Celina were running around the Common's area avoiding contact with Obelisk Force as he grunted, "Man, those guys are everywhere."
"We can't handle this many of them in a battle." Riley said nervously to them.
"Me, and Dan will." Celina told them as they turned to her, "Obelisk Force is only after me, and Zuzu so you should spare yourselves and run."
"No! We won't do that!" Riley told her.
Dan nodded to that, "Yeah, I won't give you away for us to be safe. That's not who I am. Besides Obelisk Force isn't getting you on my watch."
"I'm gonna find Celina. Stay here, and-" the voice of a familiar person started in the subway only to hear footsteps of running feet turning over.
Dan gasped seeing who it was, "Sora!?"
"The Three Kings of Duel Academy are three of the strongest Duelists to be in Duel Academy second only to the Professor himself only taking special tasks for him when ordered also like their the second in command of Obelisk Force wielding powerful Fusion Cards having titles that shows how powerful they are." Sora started explaining to them, "Yuri, the Venom Prince, Jaden Yuki, the Supreme King, and Zane Truesdale, the Kaiser or Hell Kaiser."
Just then Obelisk Force entered only to step aside allowing someone to walk in. Someone who Celina, and Sora recognized, "You?"
"So I see the Professor still has you under his leash. Barrett." Celina glared seeing the eyepatched man that was with her is here now.
"Nice to see you, too, Celina." Barrett said simply seeing her.
"If you want her, and Zuzu go through me!" Dan yelled at him defending the girls.
"Is that so? Shouldn't be a problem." Barrett said hearing that, "No one will stop me from carrying out my mission."
"LET'S DUEL!" the two declared.
"I activate the trap, Beastborg Medal of the Crimson Chain!" Barrett called revealing his second face-down as both Dan, and Dragonwing are trapped in chains, "When you summon a monster from the Extra Deck this trap card chains it to where it can't attack or change battle mode! I wouldn't want you to be left out so I let you join your monster. Crimson Chain's other effect also forbids you from summoning a monster or activate any spells or traps! You can't fight anyone."
"Then we will!" Sora said standing next to Riley ready to handle Obelisk Force.
"Why would anyone willingly choose the losing side? Hahahaha!" they hear Yuri's voice before they turned to see he's in a pathway having a grin as Dan gasped, "Yuri!"
"Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings, and strike down your enemies at the speed of light! Synchro Summon! Appear now! Level 7! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!"
"Two beautiful flowers with an insect-alluring fragrance! Now become one, and from the hell beneath your petals, give birth to a new terror! Fusion Summon! Appear! Poisonous dragon with hungry fangs. Level 8! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!"
The two dragons appeared roaring as their eyes glowed before shouting, "I'M RESURRECTING NOW!"
"NO!" Ray screamed as Zuzu's bracelet brightly glowed startling her as they cried out from the sudden glow as Yuri was pushed off with Yugo not far behind.
"Intrusion Penalty: 2000 Life Points." the Duel Disk said shocking Sergey who just joined.
Barrett snapped at Sergey, "I don't know who you are, but I don't take too kindly to those who interrupt my battles. Go ahead and make your move, you freak!"
"Revive from the depths of the earth. Gigantic beast with wings of punishment! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 8! Earthbound Servant Geo Gryphon!"
"Prisoner that crawls across the earth. Become one with the prisoner that walks the path of execution and become a gigantic beast that delivers out punishment! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Level 8! Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken!"
The two appeared before attacking Barrett as he screamed losing before grabbing Celina's heel startling them, "You will return to Duel Academy, but I will not be able to protect you!"
"No! Celina!" Dan cried running before tripping crying out, and accidentally stepped on Barrett's Duel Disk hard causing it beep, "Huh!?"
"Malfunction. Warning: Guidance System Failure. Jumping to Dimension in 3 seconds."
"No, you brat what have you done!?" Barrett cried in shock hearing that.
"Dan!" Celina cried to him.
"Celina!" Dan cried before she, and Barrett vanished.
"Nick, we can help you if you let us-" Zuzu started seeing Nick struggling to fight Roget's control.
"NO!" Nick snapped at Zuzu who flinched, "The control is too strong! Just go, and help me another way!"
"Nick..." Dan trailed off as Sora took his hand.
"Come on little buddy you heard him!" Sora said as Dan reluctantly nod as they ran off.
"DAN!"
Hearing that Dan looked over as Nick turned, "In our match next... Free me from Roget's mind control!"
Dan looked on before nodding, "That's a promise Nick."
Roget meanwhile screamed grabbing his head, "Both Celina, and Zuzu got away! And thanks to Sergey's error from that brat it freed him to tell everything! That's it! Dan Kizami has been a thorn in my side for LONG ENOUGH!|!|!"
His shout echoed throughout the building.
"In his match, he will DIE!" Roget promised.
(Cue Theme: Hyper Drive)
Going fast makes me feel alive.
My heart beats in hyper drive.
Do you think you can win?
Only if I lose.
Just let destiny choose.
[Chorus]
I can hear you breathin'.
I can see you comin'.
I can feel the wind.
It's blowing me around.
Take a shot at me runnin' side by side.
It's a blur... as I go by.
[Chorus]
I can hear you breathin'.
I can see you comin'.
I can feel the wind.
It's blowing me around.
See the sun arising.
Fire in the sky.
Greatness thrusts itself into our lives.
Dan, and the three head back to the arena where almost all of the Lancers are at as they turned while Yuya widen his eyes running, "Zuzu!"
"Yuya!" Zuzu cried as they hugged each other while Tate, Allie, and Frederick ran over also.
"What is HE doing here?" Sylvio questioned seeing Sora.
Dennis blinked in shock, "Sora? What brings you here?"
"Relax everyone. I'm not here to pick a fight." Sora told them, "I had in fact aided Zuzu, and them."
"I'd find that hard to believe." Quattro glared at him.
Dan shook his head, "It's true. He had helped Zuzu, and us against Obelisk Force."
"See? Little Buddy here believes me." Sora grinned to them knowing they can't argue with Dan knowing how much they know Dan, "Besides if I was gonna take Zuzu back to Duel Academy, I would've done so after she lost against that girl back there."
"Hey... Where's Celina?" Aura asked noticing she's missing.
Riley answered, "Duel Academy came in numbers, and... Uh..."
"It was my fault, and mine alone." Dan told them, "I was dueling against their Top Commander, Barrett, but Ser-I mean Nick saved me, and defeated him easily. Barrett tried to get away with her which I tried to stop him but accidentally damaged his Duel Disk. We don't know where they are since it messed up their Destination."
"They could be anywhere by now." Declan mentioned hearing that, "But unfortunately we don't have time to worry about that, the Council of Elders told me that although Obelisk Force may be gone, and we had proven our worth the Friendship Cup is now back to being our primary concern. Which means as soon as we're done with the Friendship Cup then we can continue on we're we left off."
"And while things are getting back together can me, and Zuzu get a story of what Cece meant by telling Dan the 'show' left out important parts?" Sora asked them as they turned before nodding.
While they were talking Dan sat down, and closed his eyes.
In Dan's Mind...
Dan appeared in a meadow landscape where Ray was at meditating as he asked, "Ray?"
Hearing him, Ray, stand up, and turned over, "Dan."
"Obelisk Force is gone. So can you tell me what was happening with Yuri, and Yugo. And if this is connected with Yuya, and Yuto?" Dan asked her for what was happening.
Ray looked down not sure what he would think of what she'll tell him about. Of course she doesn't have any doubt that he will do anything to help her, she doesn't know what can happen if he decides not to help. She just hopes things will be okay. With that in mind she told him, "Once I tell you Dan, you have to not tell anyone else."
"Why? Wouldn't it be a good thing that way the rest of us can help?" Dan asked her confused.
"No. It would risk in prematurely allowing him to come back. We need to be fully ready before we take any chances. Promise me Dan." Ray told him as he thinks about it before nodding crossing his heart, "Okay. As I told you before my name is Ray Akaba, and where I am... Is from a Dimension unlike any of the ones you know about."
"So your like me? From another world?" Dan asked hearing that.
Ray shook her head answering, "Yes, and no. Yes, I am from a world different, and no I'm not at the same time. The better explanation is that I'm from all four of them or to be more accurate when all of them were still whole."
"Still whole? So your Dimension was split to different counterparts?" Dan asked in shock hearing that which made her nod as he admitted, "Well no wonder about the Dimensions named after only 1 Summoning Method, and the Standard Dimension being about Tributes with only signs of the three other methods."
"That was the least of it. My home, the Original Dimension was once whole full of nurturing Duelists who were all living peacefully. I was the daughter of a scientist who had made Duel Monsters real enough to where we can touch them, and interact. That was the ARC-System you know of. And naturally that set off a lot of fun duels back then, and my childhood friend uses them lots of times with five different dragons together." Ray explained to him as she paused at something before shaking her head, "He was a one of a kind Duelist, wanting to entertain the crowd, and wanting everyone to smile having fun."
"Just like Yuya." Dan realized at that.
"Yes... But one day tragedy struck." Ray said in a sad tone, "In one duel my childhood friend injured his opponent by accident. While in shock he then hears something, I was last expecting... Cheering."
"Cheering?" Dan asked blinking astonished.
"The audience who had been cheering him on were only more riled by what had just happened." Ray answered as tears of light dripped from her face, "They did not cared for the injured opponent only for more violence, and action. It had changed my childhood friend as he realized that's what the crowd wanted. The more duels he gotten into the more damage he had done to a aggressive, and brutal dueling style."
"Didn't someone do anything?" Dan asked horrified.
"At first several but too no avail. Soon no-one was able to challenge him, now known as a National Champion, and one who is a Dueling Master." Ray answered wiping her eyes, "Then desiring more power he unleashed his dragons on everyone turning cheers to screams. That was when he combined himself with the five dragons turning them all into one unstoppable force."
"He fused himself with his dragons?" Dan questioned in shocked not believing that such a monster exited.
"Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, Ritual, all of those powers are combined into him with the mightiest powers of all four methods combined into one. Together they are, Supreme King Z-ARC!" Ray answered as an image appeared above her showing of a huge black, and green, red-eyed dragon attacking a desolated city causing destruction, and sparing no-one throughout as Dan watched on in horror, "I was about to give up hope to get him back, but my father found the way. Even throughout the destruction the forces of Nature lived on through the energy of Earth in the form of the Winds, the Birds, the Flowers, the Moon, and even the power of the Sun itself. In theory if he could harness all the energies of those five things then it can be enough to combat Z-ARC."
"Using the Force of Nature to combat a great evil..." Dan trailed off hearing that.
"With my help, my Dad managed to complete five Spell Cards to do just the thing."Ray said as they see a tanned man wearing a white scientist coat, gray gloves, and having brown hair had finished making five spells as he smiled seeing them showing their cards with artworks of crystal window likes iterations of a flower, a bird, a wind, a moon, and a sun before Ray continued, "But those cards come with great risk. He's my childhood friend, so I took the cards from my father, and gone after him myself."
It shows of a long, maroon and dark red haired woman with hairclips. Her clothes are a Duel Runner Suit, she also wears a thigh strap, similar to Celina's Duel Academy uniform running in, and swiped the cards running out with her father chasing her before she turned to him saying, "Dad, I'm going to stop Zarc, not you! The people need you to rebuild this city!"
"Ray, don't be silly, I created Zarc, so I, not you, will defeat him!" the man protested, "Now give those cards back. I will not let you risk your life. I don't want to lose you, Ray."
"And I don't want to lose you either, Dad!" the woman, Ray, argued before activating a card that sparked lighting at two collapsed buildings separating Ray, and her father as she ran off.
"I had made sure that my father wasn't going to get hurt so he can rebuild the city. Meanwhile, I had managed to reach my childhood friend, and challenged him to a duel using the five cards we created." Ray told Dan as the image turned to past Ray raising her arm as five cards appeared above her started to glow bright causing the nature forces to gather at the duel powering up the cards.
Her father managed to reach the duel hitting a barrier as he protested, "Ray no! Those cards contain all the forces of nature! Your body can't withstand all that energy! Stop it, Ray! Please! You aren't going to survive!"
Five bracelets appeared at Ray's raised arm as they all glowed bright while the dragon roared in agony as a scream was heard before two times it shows five dragons exited it as silhouettes of Odd-Eyes in a different form, Clear Wing, Starving Venom, Dark Rebellion, and a fifth dragon before a blackened being on the dragon with glowing yellow eyes yelled at Ray in a distorted voice, "Stop it! Stop it now! Or you will suffer the consequences!"
Ray stayed silent not stopping before finally the dragon shattered leaving the five dragons who split off while Ray also into a multicolored versions one heading into the same direction as the dragons as a bright light occurred around the Dimension as the image faded showing Dan was in silent shock as Ray told him, "My childhood friend was named Zarc wielding five Special Dragons one of each different summoning method all combined to one, and using the cards had split me, him, and all the Dimensions into different pieces."
"And... Yuya, Yuto, Yuri, and Yugo are him?" Dan asked her.
Ray nodded to him, "They wield his dragons, and those outbursts was the work of Zarc trying to combine back to one trying to continue where he left off. My own counterparts are also with you. Zuzu Boyle, Celina, Rin, and Lulu Obsidian as you know wielding different bracelets."
"Whoa... that's real heavy." Dan admitted to her, "No wonder you acted frantic back there."
"Humanity are the real monsters. They made Zarc the way he is now, and... And I just did nothing but watched!" Ray yelled as she teared up, "I watched my home get destroyed, I watched as my friend became a monster, I watched as he harms others... I want the old Zarc back before all of this happened."
"..." Dan looked down before looking up with a smile, "And you will."
"Huh?" Ray looked up at him, "Dan?"
"I know how it feels to lose someone special. That girl that you seen me remember during my match with Barrett, she was a close friend of mine... I didn't help her, and I wanted to change that by helping others. So now Ray, I promise... We will bring Zarc back to normal." Dan said walking over, and hugging her, "But we'll do it together."
Ray started crying as her gold light fade showing her past self appearance before hugging him back, "Oh Dan!"
They stood there for a few minutes before Dan pulled back with a smile, "I don't know how we can do it. But it ain't impossible to find a solution. And whatever Duel Academy wants the Girls for I don't know but they aren't going to have you."
"Thank you..."Ray smiled with tears running down her eyes before wiping them.
"And Ray? Your real pretty." Dan said to her with a smile.
Ray blushed with a smile before saying, "Well now you know everything. What are you gonna do?"
"I'll continue fighting Duel Academy. But I'll also find a way to have Zarc back to his senses, and also somehow restore you back." Dan promised to her as she smiled, "And as long as we're together we can do that."
"Thank you Dan." Ray smiled before saying, "Okay, I've taken too much of your time. Now it's time for you to face Sergey. Do you have your Deck ready?"
"Yes ma'am." Dan nodded holding it out.
"Good luck." Ray smiled to him as he nodded back before vanishing, "Dan Kizami... He's really something else."
"Dan? Dan!"
"H-Huh?" Dan opened his eyes seeing Riley looking worried with the rest of the Lancers with them, "Riley?"
"You were out for a while. Did something happened?" Yuya asked him concerned.
Dan admitted, "I guess I was just exhausted in that match with Barrett. Those chains were a tight squeeze on me."
"Understandable but unfortunately that's the amount of rest your getting." Declan told him, "Your match is next."
"And little buddy?" Sora asked as Dan turned to him to see a grin, "I know your full story, and I have to say I totally didn't know! Now I REALLY gotta get to know ya more!"
"Uh thanks." Dan said off-guard as Zuzu hugged him.
"You were alone for a long time. I'm sorry." Zuzu told him softly.
Dan said to her hugging her back, "It's okay Zuzu. I'm okay."
"Well if you need anything just let me know." Zuzu smiled as he nodded back as they head to the arena.
Meanwhile...
"We're about to have rain sir." an Officer told Roget in his office.
Roget looking in from his Chess Board only started a cup of tea saying, "That we are. Signal Sergey to give no quarter, and not to hold back against Dan. That should brighten up his day."
The Officer at that head down to where Sergey's at opening a door to the van as he called, "To arms Sergey! Give no quarter!"
All the Officers cheered as Sergey turned to the opening where dark clouds are gathering as he thought, 'Dan... I leave this up to you now.'
At the arena...
"Howdy, friends and neighbors! We're all set to hurtle into more Turbo Duelin' Action here at the Friendship Cup!"Melissa Trail announced to everyone who cheered, "And now after that act from the guys in Hangliders, it's time for the main event! Round 2 to where the little dueling prodigy, Dan Kizami is up against the Dueling Destroyer, Sergey Volkov in one big match! Can the little Master of Dragons handle the fierceness of Sergey's Earthboud Immortals!? That's what were here to find out!"
"Dan be careful. Sergey is nothing to mess with while under Roget's control." Yuto told Dan who was getting ready.
"And those cards can attack directly from what I remember." Shay added to him.
"And lots of destruction so this'll be a match we'll be on the edge of our seats for." Yuya finished worried.
Dan smiled to them, "Don't worry guys. A friend of mine had helped me construct a new Deck to handle Sergey's own cards. So now I'm ready."
Riley hugged him before kissing deep on his lips stunning him, and shocking everyone as she pulled back blushing bright, "Be careful."
Dan remained stunned before smiling with a growing blush, "I will."
"And now time to start the match up! First up with the Dueling Destroyer, Sergey Volkov!" Melissa Trail announced as Sergey sped out into the arena at the starting point, "And now his opponent, Dan Kizami!"
Dan grunted before speeding in as everyone cheered as Dan rode beside Sergey turning to him as he said to him, "I promised, I would help you Sergey, and that's what I'll do."
Sergey stayed silent but turned his eye to Dan before focusing back as the countdown started as Melissa Trail announced, "And now the countdown has begun as we activate, Crossover Acceleration!"
Crossover Acceleration
Action Field Spell
You can use Action Cards, but you can only have 1 Action Card in your hand. This card is unaffected by other card effects.

They sped off beginning the duel.

"Wait Dan never used cards like those." Allie said seeing them as the Signers but Jack walked over.
Akiza explained, "He asked me to give him Plant Cards. It's for a new Deck he prepared against Sergey's."
"Do you think they can be enough against this guy?" Quattro asked them.
"We're gonna find out." Zuzu answered nervously.
Meanwhile...
Roget narrowed his eyes, "It does not matter what kind of Deck this kid has. It will be pointless to try to beat Sergey with them."
Back at the Duel...
"And now hope this duel is ready for lighting cause I'm tuning Angel Trumpeter with level 4 Bird of Roses!" Dan called as the two flew up.

"And like that Sergey has Fusion Summoned, and Synchro Summoned yet again!" Melissa Trail announced seeing this, "How can Dan get away from them!?"
'That's the big question. With those two out, and the Immortals not far behind it's gonna take a lot for me to get through.' Dan admitted in his mind.
"The best course of action is find an opening, and strike before he has a chance to summon an Earthbound Immortal." Ray told him as he nodded in agreement.
Sergey then stated, "Activating next step in protocol Earthbound Servant Line Walker's special ability in the graveyard! By banishing this card from graveyard, I can have one monster summoned from Extra Deck be summoned to my opponent's field!"
Line Walker sweep on Spark Dragon.
Stardust Spark Dragon: (Attack Position)
"Huh? As it was summoned?" Melissa Trail asked confused on what Sergey's up too.
"Then I activate Geo Kraken's special ability! I destroy all monsters that were summoned to my opponent's field during my turn, and deal you 800 points of damage!" Sergey activated which cleared up the confusion as Geo Kraken spew a purple smoke at Dan's field striking them.
"And that blast struck deep at Dan's field where-" Melissa Trail started only for Dan, and Spark Dragon to pop out, "Wait their both still okay! But how can that be!?"
"I had activated Spark Dragon's special ability!" Dan answered to them, "Once per turn, I can target a face-up card on my field, and make it indestructible only once this turn!"
"So Dan protected his dragon with it's special ability! But will it be enough!?" Melissa Trail asked the crowd as they watched on.
Deciding to continue on Sergey called, "Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken attack Spark Dragon!"
Geo Kraken charged an attack with it's tentacles as Dan grabbed an Action Card only to call, "I activate the trap, Synchro Strike!"

Stardust Spark Dragon retaliated at Geo Kraken striking it as Sergey grunted. (Sergey: 3300)
The smoke cleared showing Geo Kraken survived as Sergey countered, "But Geo Kraken cannot be destroyed by battle!"
"But Dan still managed to land a big blow against Sergey!" Melissa Trail said at this, "And with his dragon protected that's good!"
"I place 2 cards down, and end my turn." Sergey ended his turn.
Dan: 4000
Sergey: 3300
Dan 2nd Turn:
As they speed through a curve Dan called, "I draw!"
Looking to see his draw was Spirit Barrier as he called, "Alright, I'll summon World Carrotweight Champion!"
At that a carrot like man appeared.

"And now with Copy Plant's ability I can shift him from a level 1 to a level 4 until the end of this turn!" Dan called as Copy Plant grew in size.
Copy Plant: (LV: 1 + 3 = 4)
"And now level 4 Copy Plant tunes level 4 Worldweight!" Dan called as the two flew up tuning.
(LV: 4 + 4 = 8)

Dan then called, "I activate Silver Wing!"
Silver Wing

Equip only to a Level 8 or higher Dragon-Type Synchro Monster. Twice per turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle. If it would be destroyed by a card effect, you can destroy this card instead.
"And I'll equip it onto my Hot Red Dragon Archfiend!" Dan called as his dragon's wing gained a silver color, "Then I switch Spark Dragon to Defense Mode!"
Spark Dragon flapped it's wings in front of it: (Defense Position)
"And now I activate Hot Red Dragon Archfiend's ability! I destroy monsters that are in attack mode during my Main Phase 1!" Dan called as Hot Red Dragon Archfiend charged a flaming blast, "Crimson Fire Burning!"
The blast charged in as Sergey grabbed an Action Card just moments before both his monsters were destroyed.
"Sergey went for an Action Card but was unable to activate it!" Melissa Trail called seeing this.
"Alright! Once Dan lands this attack the duel will be over!" Riley cheered seeing this.
Dan called, "And now Hot Red Dragon Archfiend attack-"
"Sorry but I can't let that go through." Sergey told Dan before calling, "Activating Trap Card, Earthbound Longings!
Earthbound Longings
Continuous Trap Card

If you have 7 "Earthbound Immortal" monsters with different names in your GY, send this card from the field to the GY, and banish those monsters: Special Summon 1 "Earthbound Emperor Talzakin" from your Extra Deck. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.)
"Huh?" Dan asked seeing that.
"Once per turn, if an Earthbound monster on my field is destroyed, I can summon 1 Earthbound Immortal from my Hand or Deck!" Sergey revealed making Dan grunt in disbelief as a Stone Heart appeared in the air as Sergey chanted, "Deity from the Ancient Earth be revived after so long deep in the underground! Stomp on this Earth for your own Desire! Come forth! Level 10! Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu!"
The second Earthbound Immortal he used against Shay rose up above ground roaring.

This card can attack directly. If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK.
Dan grunted seeing it, 'And there it is! The monsters, I have to get passed to help free Sergey!'
"Oh boy, that didn't take long for Sergey to summon one of these mega monsters!" Melissa Trail called as they eyed the Immortal who is at what looks like the center of the entire track.
"There's the real obstacle of this match." Declan said narrowing his eyes, "Dan has to defeat the Earthbound Immortals."
"Let's hope he's up to the task." Shay told them remembering how beat he was against them.
Dan grunted seeing it before saying, "I can't attack it even if I wanted too..."
"That's the least of your troubles. As an Earthbound monster was destroyed, Geo Gryphon's Special Ability destroys your Spark Dragon!" Sergey called as Geo Gryphon charged at Spark Dragon.
Dan called, "With Spark Dragon's ability that effect can't go through!"
Spark Dragon charged it's light barrier stopping the attack as Melissa Trail cried, "Sergey went for a gut punch, but Dan dodged the blow!"
"I place 1 card face-down, and end my turn!" Dan ended his turn.
"Oh boy with nothing left, Dan had no choice but end his turn! Can he manage to stop Sergey's rampage with that mega monster in play!?" Melissa Trail asked as Sergey then smirked confusing Dan.
"Initiate Turbo Thruster Mode!" Sergey declared.
"'Turbo Thruster Mode'?" Dan asked confused hearing that.
With Roget...
"It's transformation time." Roget smirked looking at Sergey's charts building up.
At the duel...
Sergey smacked his head against his Duel Runner as it's red eyed glowed while screaming as yellow like tendrils wrapped around him destroying his helmet as he leaned on his back for his Duel Runner to close around him shocking everyone as Melissa Trail screamed asking, "What's happening to Sergey!?"
"Nothing good." Yuto said staring in shock.
The left, and right wheels of Sergey's Duel Runner split raising it up as it formed into robotic like claws while at the top Sergy emerged roaring as his arms are connected to the two wheel arms as the Duel Disk emerged on it's abdomen completing his transformation as he roared as they stared in shock.
"Thruster power up by 242%!" Sergey smirked at the speed.
Dan looks horrified as he thinks, 'Nick... That is how bad Roget has you in his grip... Well now by the end of this match, he won't have you as his puppet ever again! I promise Nick, I will free you!'
"I can now speed much faster then you!" Sergey declared to Dan as he used his robotic claws to sped ahead of him as Dan cried out startled looking in shock.
"I don't know about ya'll but Sergey's new look is givin' me a severe case of the heebie-jeebies!" Melissa Trail announced to them, "The mega monster with him isn't helping!"
"He's looking more machine than man." Yuya said in shock.
"I mean, I know people who were attached to their vehicles, but this is ridiculous!" Melissa Trail added to them staring at Sergey.
"What did Roget done to Sergey?" Zuzu asked in horror.
"From what we learned, he had turned him into a Biocybernetic Duelist." Declan said to her.
"Byocybernetic?" Zuzu asked in shock.
With Roget...
"By integrating the latest biological and cybernetic technologies, I found a way to merge duelist and vehicle, creating the ultimate dueling machine." Roget said to himself smirking at Sergey, "When this duel is over, Dan Kizami will no longer be in the way, and will face punishment by death."
Dan grunted trying to get ahead only for Sergey to speed up calling, "Thrust power increasing 175%, elimination protocol activated! Finish off opponent by any means!"
"Nick, I promise I will help you from Roget, and I meant it!" Dan told Sergey, "And now by getting pass the Eathbound Immortals, I can help you out! He won't succeed!"
"Oh, but I will Dan. There can only be one ruler in this city." Roget smirked at Dan, "Before this tournament ends, all of New Domino City will be bowing before me."
He then started manically as the screen froze showing Dan against Sergey with Roget overhead with Ccapac Apu beside him.
And that's part 1 of this match everyone! Things are now getting heated up with Dan promising to Nick to free him from Roget but to do that he has to defeat Sergey by taking down the Earthbound Immortals? With his Duel Dragons, Dan will make sure he doesn't stop until his promise is fulfilled! Be sure to ask Dan questions, and be sure to review!
