Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Both Sera, and Iruma were with Kaiba, and Serenity talking to each other while Kaiba does work.
"How's your brother doing Sera?" Serenity asked.
"He's doing alright." Sera smiled.
"That's good." Serenity smiled.
Kaiba soon got up from his computers, "I'll be back Serenity. There's some little mishap at the lobby."
"A mishap? Do you need help?" Serenity asked him.
"If you want too. Mokuba was coming up here." Kaiba told her.
Serenity nodded. "We'll be right back you two."
They both left as Iruma smiled at Sera. Sera smiled. "Iruma..."
"Still sorry about being weird." Iruma admitted to her.
"It's ok." Sera smiled. "Though... I was actually wondering, have we ever dueled?"
"No I don't think we do." Iruma admitted.
Sera smiled. "Well... do you want to have a match while we wait?"
Iruma blinked before saying, "Okay, I would-Huh?"
He noticed something on Kaiba's computers, and walked.
"Iruma?" Sera asked. "What's wrong?"
"Something here." Iruma said before pulling out a small black flashdrive plugging it before typing in where the file was copied in Iruma's flashdrive as he pulled it out, "I sorta felt it's for us to know together."
Sera nodded at that. "Alright."
Iruma put his flashdrive back in his pocket just in time for Kaiba, Serenity, and a brown haired boy wearing a white suit to walk in.
"Is everything alright?" Sera asked them.
"Everything's fine now." Serenity smiled as Kaiba went back to his computers.
"Well, we should go. It was nice to see you guys." Sera smiled.
Serenity, and the boy waved with smiles while Kaiba gives a peace sign not turning around as the two kids walked out. When they left Sera frowned. "What do you think that was?"
"I don't know. But let's find out." Iruma said as they walked back to where he was staying.
At his room they went to his computer, and plugged the flashdrive as they looked what he had copied as he frowned, "This looks complicated."
Sera looked at the screen. It was jumbled code as Iruma typed in before they both started to hear static.
"What?" Sera questioned. "What is that?"
"Wait... This might be a transmission from somewhere." Iruma told her.
"A transmission? Do you think you can find out who sent it?" Sera inquired.
Iruma typed in, "It will take a while with this much coding."
Sera nodded. "I can wait."
1 hour later...
"Alright!" Iruma called.
Sera looked over. "You did it?"
"I think so." Iruma said as the transmission started playing.
Transmission...
?: What's the lead so far?
?: This Dimension is weak for a world that holds the greatest duelists. They are not that tough.
?: But you haven't faced those greats yet?
?: No, but am I really able too? Either way it doesn't matter since the signal will be given shortly.
?: What's taking you so long for us to send Obelisk Force?
"Obelisk Force?" Iruma asked quietly.
?: I had heard that some supernatural power happened involving what was called the Millennium Items. I figured that I should fish at least 1 out of where their sealed for us to use to make sure this Dimensions' greats will fell prey.
?: And where are these Items now?
?: Held up in Egypt by how I know things around here. Kaiba, and his henchman are crawling around where ever since that tournament with this 'Aigami' nonsense but their now showing signs of disinterest.
?: Don't take too long now, Mamoru. Not after that later screw up.
Mamoru: Fine.
The transmission ended with that.
"Someone's after the Millennium Items?" Sera asked in shock.
"And what's this Obelisk Force, and Dimensions, and stuff like that?" Iruma asked blinking.
"I don't know, but I don't like it." Sera mentioned before frowning. "But we can't ask anyone for help without admitting we took this from Kaiba's computer."
"I got an idea. We should head to Egypt to try to stop him." Iruma told her.
Sera's eyes widened. "I agree but... how would we even get to Egypt?"
"We just sneak a ride there." Iruma answered before starting to pack.
Later...
Both Iruma, and Sera managed to got on a small plane heading to Egypt evading Security at the back.
"Iruma... You don't think Obelisk Force has something to do with Obelisk the Tormentor do you?" Sera asked him.
"I don't think so." Iruma admitted.
Sera nodded before closing her eyes. With that the Plane took off as they waited several hours spending time as Iruma had changed to Egyptian Clothing after getting to somewhere to change before finally they felt the plane is landing.
"We should check on the Millennium Items." Sera mentioned. "The Puzzle should have been the only one taken but if they found any of the others..."
"We have to find where their sealed first." Iruma said as the back uncovered as they got out from Security as Iruma looked around amazed, "So this is Egypt."
"Yeah, come on. The items should be this way." Sera told him taking his hand and walking off.
They walked along as they went to the resting place of the Items. Like the transmission said their was only a few people. Seeing them Sera and Iruma hid.
"Who are they? What are they doing here?" Sera whispered.
"Those are Kaiba's men." Iruma reminded.
Sera frowned. "I don't like this Iruma."
"Me neither." Iruma admitted before they heard something, and looked to see someone was walking in where the men was nowhere to be found with about 3 cards were there.
"What?" Sera whispered.
"That might be who has his eyes on the Items come on." Iruma whispered as they walked to the tomb.
Sera frowned before running after the person. Iruma grabbed her arm whispering, "What are you doing? We can't charge in until we got him cornered."
"Iruma if he gets the Millennium Items we'll all be in danger." Sera told him.
"We should still stay hidden, and wait until our chance to get him." Iruma said to her before they went down together encountering more cards along the way, "He likes to leave cards around doesn't he?"
Sera picked up one of the cards only to drop it and start trembling in fear. "This... who is he?"
"What? What is it?" Iruma asked her.
"It's..." Sera started as Iruma saw the card was of a terrified looking Kaibacorp employee.
"How did...?" Iruma asked in shock as they continued walking down eventually reaching a spot where they saw the man had just used his Duel Disk to turn 2 more employees into cards.
The man smirked walking up to where 6 gold items where on display, "So these are the Millennium Items. Just 1 would be a benefit for us, and after it then Obelisk Force will come."
He walked to take one.
"Iruma, what do we do?" Sera asked nervously.
"Stop him." Iruma answered before running out, "Hey!"
Hearing that the man turned, "Grr... And I thought these weak men were all that's in this tomb. Don't you kids know your interfering with important business?"
"You have no right to those items." Sera said joining Iruma. "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
"And why should I answer that?" the man asked her.
Sera flinched at that.
"I didn't expect you to answer. Now if you brats will run along, I got some Items to collect." the man told them.
"I don't think so." stated a male voice.
Hearing that they turned over. Seto Kaiba was walking to the man. "I'll give you one chance to get out."
"Kaiba? How did you get here?" Iruma asked him shocked.
Kaiba glanced at him. "You deciphered the transmission you took from my computer didn't you? I was there when the Millennium Items were buried."
"What? How did you figure that out? I leave no trace." Iruma said shocked.
"I'm the president of the biggest company in the world, do you honestly think I'd leave my own computer unattended without any way of knowing if it was tampered with?" Kaiba asked him.
"I don't know what your on about Kaiba but this is no longer your time to shine." the man told him, "To prove it this whole tomb is clean of your employees... By what they used to be at least."
"If that's your idea of a threat you'll have to try harder." Kaiba told him. "Last chance, get out of my sight."
"I knew you wouldn't listen." the man sighed before smirking, "Very well since you claim to be so strong your going to have to prove it. Obelisk Force!"
At that what appeared was two masked men in blue uniforms raising up with a colored gem.
"Show them that your superior to Kaiba." the man smirked as the two got ready.
"Obelisk Force?" Kaiba asked. "Fine, this won't take any time at all."
With that he activated his Duel Disc.
"So these are Obelisk Force. Sera stay here." Iruma said joining Kaiba.
"Stay out of this." Kaiba told him. "I'll deal with these two myself, if you want to duel then deal with him."
Hearing that Iruma turned to the man who shrugged, "I suppose I can deal with 1 more loser in this world."
The man frowned before turning to Iruma. "Let's get this over with."
Iruma got ready.
"DUEL!"

Mamoru 1st Turn:
"I'll start with one facedown monster. That's all." Mamoru stated.

Mamoru just smirked.
"With this card, I can Ritual Summon a Megalith from my hand using monsters from my hand or field by discarding this card." Iruma said before Manju vanished, "Statue of the Sanctified Statues! The contract has been formed, and take this soul to turn to our great plane! Ritual Summon! Level 4, Megalith Hagith!"
At that a fiendish black statue with green on it appeared.

"My Deck is rather special. Since Hagith was summoned, I take a Megalith spell or trap card from my Deck, and add it. Then I activate Megalith Portal!" Iruma called as the field glowed.
Megalith Portal
Field Spell Card

When a "Megalith" monster(s) is Special Summoned (except during the Damage Step): Target 1 Ritual Monster in your GY; add it to your hand.

Mamoru just nodded.
"The first turn each Ritual Summoned monster would be destroyed in battle they aren't once every turn, and when I summoned a Megalith, I can add a Ritual Monster from my graveyard to my hand." Iruma explained, "And with Hagith's other ability I Ritual Summon another Megalith as long as it's included!"
Mamoru just watched calmly.
Hagith itself morphed, "Statue of the Sanctified Statues! The contract has been formed, and take this soul to turn to our Great Plane with Virtue! Ritual Summon! Level 4, Megalith Och!"
At that a both a black, and white statue appeared.

"Another one?" Mamoru questioned.
"When this card is summoned, I can draw, and discard a card." Iruma said drawing before discarding a second Och, "And now Portal's effect activates! I add Megalith Bethor from my graveyard to my hand."
He shows the card he made the first Ritual Summon with.
"And with Och's other ability, I Ritual Summon a third time!" Iruma called.
Mamoru just shrugged.
"I sacrifice Och along with Hagith in my hand!" Iruma called as the two vanished.
"One of the three Rulers of the Sanctified Statues! The contract has been formed, and take this soul to turn to our Great Plane with Pride! Ritual Summon! Level 8, Megalith Phaleg!"

Mamoru frowned.
"As long as this card's on my field all my monsters gain 300 attack, and defense points for each Ritual Monster in my graveyard." Iruma said as Phaleg glowed.
Phaleg: (ATK: 2500 + (300 * 3) = 3400/DEF: 1200 + (300 * 3) = 2100)
Mamoru frowned.
"Next I set a card." Iruma said setting it, "And now Phaleg attack his face-down!"
The monster fired an attack. It was revealed to be a small machine.
Ancient Gear

Level 2
Machine
ATK: 100

The machine was destroyed before Iruma stated, "That's my turn."
Iruma: 4000
Mamoru: 4000
Mamoru 2nd Turn:
Mamoru drew his card only to frown. "Not a monster in my hand I can use."
"So you were bragging?" Iruma asked him.
"Excuse me? I said I didn't have a monster in my hand I could use. These four spell cards on the other hand, are more than enough to finish you off." Mamoru smirked. "I activate two copies of Ancient Gear Castle, Ancient Gear Catapult, and the Geartown field spell."
Geartown

If you Tribute Summon an "Ancient Gear" monster face-up, you can Tribute this card instead, if the number of its counters is equal to or greater than the number of required Tribute(s).
"Huh?" Iruma asked seeing that.
"My Ancient Gear Catapult will now destroy Geartown, and in doing so both of their effects activate." Mamoru smirked. "So from my deck I can summon Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon, and Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound!"
Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon

"Even with that they both lacked enough points to beat Phaleg." Iruma pointed out.
"Thanks to my Ancient Gear Castle, all Ancient Gear monsters gain 300 attack points. So with two they gain 600 points each." Mamoru told him.
Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon: (ATK: 3000 + 300 + 300 = 3600)
Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound: (ATK: 3000 + 300 + 300 = 3600)
"Wha?" Iruma asked shocked.
"Reactor Dragon, attack!" Mamoru called. "Oh, and don't bother trying to use any effects. When this monster attacks you aren't allowed to play any of them."
Reactor Dragon attacked Phaleg with it's tail. (Iruma: 3800) But Phaleg shrugged off the attack.
"Due to Portal's effect since Phaleg was Ritual Summoned it wasn't destroyed in that battle!" Iruma reminded.
"I'm aware, but thanks to Reactor Dragon's other ability your facedown card is destroyed." Mamoru smirked.
"What?" Iruma asked in shock, "Well before so, I can use it! The trap, Megalith Emersion!"
Megalith Emersion
Continuous Trap Card
Target 1 "Megalith" monster in your GY; Special Summon it. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect, return to the bottom of the Deck when they leave the field. You can only use this effect of "Megalith Emersion" once per turn.
"I can summon a Megalith from my graveyard!" Iruma called as Och appeared just before Emersion shattered, "But with 1 less Ritual Monster in my graveyard, Phaleg's points decrease."
Phaleg: (ATK: 3400 - 300 = 3100/DEF: 2100 - 300 = 1800)
Och: (ATK: 1000 + (300 * 2) = 1600/DEF: 2700 + (300 * 2) = 3300)
Mamoru's expression darkened. "Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound attacks Och, and he deals piercing damage."
The Golem attacked destroying Och as Iruma grunted. (Iruma: 3500)
"Now since Ultimate Pound destroyed a monster I can discard Ancient Gear Golem to let him attack again." Mamoru stated.
At that Ultimate Pound attacked again destroying Phaleg as Iruma grunted getting to one knee. (Iruma: 3000)
"That ends my turn, consider yourself lucky to have survived." Mamoru told him.
Iruma 2nd Turn:
Iruma slowly rose up thinking, 'I only have Portal on my field, and Bethor in my hand... I need a miracle.' "My turn! Draw!" Iruma called drawing just as they heard a hard attack, and looked to see the two Obelisk Force were just defeated.
(Obelisk Force (Yellow): 0000)
(Obelisk Force (Red): 0000)
Suddenly they vanished as Kaiba turned to him.
Iruma nodded before looking at the card he drawn, "I activate Pot of Greed!"

"With this, I can draw 2 cards!" Iruma called drawing twice, "Then I summon Senju of the Thousand Hands!"

Senju vanished as Iruma called, "Statue of the Sanctified Statues! The contract has been formed, and take this soul to turn to our Great Plane with Faith! Ritual Summon! Level 4, Megalith Ophiel!"
At that a both a white angelic statue appeared.

You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field, including this card, whose total Levels equal the monster's Level or more. You can only use this effect of "Megalith Ophiel" once per turn.
"With this card is summoned, I can take any Megalith monster, and add it to my hand." Iruma said adding the card, "Then with Portal's effect, I add Bethor back to my hand."
Mamoru frowned. "You're starting to annoy me."
"Well now Ophiel's ability sacrifices itself, and the second Och I added to Ritual Summon!" Iruma called as the two monsters vanished.
"One of the three Rulers of the Sanctified Statues! The contract has been formed, and take this soul to turn to our Great Plane with Justice! Ritual Summon! Level 8, Megalith Bethor!"
At that a dark brown statue looking like a beast appeared.

You can only use each effect of "Megalith Bethor" once per turn.
"Now what?" Mamoru questioned.
"Since this card is summoned I can destroy a card on your field equal to the amount of Rituals I have in my graveyard!" Iruma revealed.
"You can what?" Mamoru questioned.
"I have two Hagiths, Och, and Phaleg!" Iruma called, "So all four of your cards are destroyed!"
The four cards shattered.
"Ultimate Pound has another ability." Mamoru stated. "I can add Polymerization and return the original Ancient Gear Golem to my hand."
"Not on your field." Iruma reminded, "I activate Monster Reborn!"
Monster Reborn
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 monster in either GY; Special Summon it.
"With this I can summon back Phaleg!" Iruma called as his white Ritual appeared.
Mamoru's eyes widened.
"Even without the power boost your still beaten." Iruma told him, "Both Bethor, and Phaleg attacks directly!"
The two charged at Mamoru.
'No way!' Mamoru thought in shock as the attacks hit and he vanished in a blue glow.
Iruma: 3000
Mamoru: 0000
Iruma wins the duel!
Iruma sighed in relief, "Okay... None of them got any of the items."
"I'll let it slide this time, and as much as I hate to admit it we should probably let Yugi and the others know what happened here." Kaiba mentioned.
"Yeah... But your employees... That guy turned them into cards." Sera said to him, "Is there a way to turn them back?"
"Pegasus pulled the same trick, so we just need to deal with whoever sent them here." Kaiba answered.
With that they walked off before Iruma stopped, "Wait we can't leave the Items like this. That guy will come back, and try to swipe them again."
Kaiba nodded. "Grab two of them, you two Sera."
Sera nodded before they each grabbed the Items.
