bopdog111: Well Yudo will see Iggy getting what he deserves... But not the way he expects.
Ulrich362: Definitely not in the way he expects.
bopdog111: What would he expect here?
Ulrich362: Well... Iggy losing probably.
bopdog111: Let's see here.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Yudo was on the bench to calm down from Iggy, and what happened with Sora.
"Yudo?"
Hearing that he looked over. Amy looked worried and was walking up to him. "Are you ok?"
"I just... Needed to calm down." Yudo said looking down, "I feel like I'm useless."
Amy hugged him. "You're anything but useless."
Yudo hugged her back.
"Can I do anything?" Amy asked.
"...Help me convince Declan for me to duel Iggy." Yudo said to her hugging her tight starting to cry.
Amy frowned. "What if he hurts you?"
Yudo didn't answer continued crying, "Big sis... I'm sorry."
Amy held him gently before closing her eyes and gently humming. As she continued humming Yudo started to stop crying. Amy smiled as she continued before blushing and trying to gently rock Yudo. As she does this Yudo started to relax until she can't hear him sobbing anymore. Amy smiled at that. "Get some rest Yudo."
She paused before closing her eyes and gently kept rubbing his back. She then began to hear gentle snoring. She looked down to see Yudo was asleep. 'I guess... are those maternal instincts?'
Amy blushed at the thought.
(A/N (Ulrich362): Amy is Yudo's older sister, so knowing their parents are dead she would have some sense of wanting to take care of her younger brother.)
They stayed like this for a few minutes until...
Amy's Duel Disk started to beep. She blinked before looking.
"Hello?" she answered quietly.
"Iggy is beginning his second duel with Yuya." Declan answered.
"What?" Amy asked in shock before looking at Yudo. "We'll head over now."
She hung up before gently shaking Yudo. "Yudo... we need to go to the stadium."
"H-Huh?" Yudo stirred awake.
"Yuya's dueling Iggy." Amy told him.
That snapped him awake. Amy frowned seeing that. "Yuya has Pendulum Summoning, he'll be ok."
Yudo ran to the arena. Amy followed him. 'Yudo...'
Yudo entered just in time for Yuya barely surviving a huge attack. (Yuya: 0100)
Amy's eyes widened in horror. "Oh no!"
"I end my turn." Iggy said stepping back, "Sink into darkness."
"Yudo..." Amy asked nervously seeing if he was ok.
Yudo looked ready to start crying, and-
BA-BUMP!
Yudo gasped at this placing a hand on his chest.
"Yudo?" Amy asked nervously before embracing him. "It'll be ok, I promise."
"Amy... Something's wrong!" Yudo said placing his other hand on his chest gripping it looking in pain.
Amy's eyes widened at that. "Can I do anything? A doctor, someone get a doctor!"
"My chest... It's on fire!" Yudo cried.
A bolt of lightning happened as Yuya's eyes are now glowing red catching Iggy by surprise as Yuya started coldly, "I activate the Action Spell Mad Hurricane, this shuffles every card on my field into my deck."
Mad Hurricane
Action Spell Card
Shuffle all cards you control into the Deck.
All of Yuya's cards were gone in a hurricane.
"So you decided to ditch your useless cards?" Iggy asked.
"No, I decided to put an end to this duel." Yuya answered. "I use Scale 3 Performapal Turn Toad and Scale 5 Performapal Cheer Mole to set my Pendulum Scale!"

● If it would lose ATK: It loses 1000 more ATK.
"This lets me summon level four monsters all at the same time, so now I Pendulum Summon Performapal Silver Claw and Performapal Camelump!"
The two monsters appeared.
"Please what can those idiots do? They don't have the power to take down Idaten, and even if they do Idaten would make them into weaklings once more!" Iggy yelled.
"Why don't you shut up and watch." Yuya told him. "I use my level four Performapal Silver Claw and level four Performapal Camelump, in order to build the Overlay Network!"
Amy glanced at the field hearing that before turning to Yudo fearfully. "Someone please, he needs a doctor!"
"Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Yuya chanted as a black dragon with a metal lower jaw appeared roaring.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon

You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 Level 5 or higher monster your opponent controls; its ATK becomes half its current ATK, and if it does, this card gains that lost ATK. These changes last until the End Phase.
(ORU: 2)
Yudo slowly looked up seeing the Xyz Dragon as he grunted, "W-Where did Yuya get that?"
"What the hell!?" Iggy asked shocked.
"How unexpected! What an incredible turn of events!" Nico cried shocked himself. "First Iggy pulled off Fusion Summoning, and now Yuya has just done an Xyz Summon!"
"I activate Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon's special ability, by using one Overlay Unit he takes half of Idaten's attack points. Treason Discharge!" Yuya declared.
Dark Rebellion fired purple electricity binding Idaten. (ATK: 3600 / 2 = 1800)
Dark Rebellion roared at the increase. (ATK: 2500 + 1800 = 4300)
"Now I use that ability a second time." Yuya called as Dark Rebellion fired more purple electricity.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon: (ATK: 4300 + 900 = 5200)
Idaten the Conqueror Star: (ATK: 1800/2 = 900)
"Now attack with Lightning Disobey of Rebellion!"
"Have you forgotten, when Idaten battles a monster with a lower level that monster's attack points become zero." Iggy told him.
"Xyz Monsters have ranks, not levels so that ability won't work." Yuya told him.
"What?" Iggy asked in shock.
Dark Rebellion struck Idaten as Iggy cried out landing hard.
Iggy: 0000
Winner Yuya.
The field vanished as Yuya blinked looking around. At the same time Yudo started gasping collapsing to breath.
"Yudo!"
Yudo breathed easier sitting up, "I-It's gone now... What was that?"
Amy was looking at him nervously before someone grabbed him and pulled him into a super tight embrace as tears started soaking his shirt. Knowing who it was Yudo hugged her back, "Carlita."
She was violently trembling. "I had a really bad feeling, and then Amy started screaming... I was so scared..."
"It's gone now." Yudo told her before coughing, "Ah man what was that just now?"
"That doesn't matter, all that matters is you're ok." Carlita told him. "I'm so sorry... I shouldn't have left."
"It's okay." Yudo said before seeing a bracelet on her wrist, "Whoa... That's a nice bracelet Carlita."
Carlita blinked before looking at it. "Oh... I've had this my entire life, I'm kind of surprised you never noticed it."
Yudo nodded before blushing, and kissed the bracelet. Carlita blushed at that. "What was that for?"
"I think... To tell you that I'll be alright?" Yudo asked smiling.
Carlita just hugged him again. Yudo coughed again.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Amy asked nervously.
"Yeah... My throat is dry." Yudo admitted placing a hand on his neck.
"Come on, let's get you some water." Amy told him before pausing and blushing.
Carlita helped him up since the sudden pain had made his legs weak.
"Once we get water... we need to talk with Yuya." Amy mentioned.
"Amy?" Yudo asked seeing her blush.
"Am I... acting motherly?" she asked in embarrassment.
"Well you are his sister." Carlita told her.
"So... it's not strange?" Amy asked blushing a bit more.
"No." Yudo answered smiling.
Amy nodded at that before the three of them walked to get some ice water for Yudo. Once they find some Yudo started to drink it.
"Is that helping?" Carlita asked him.
Yudo sighed before smiling, "Yeah."
Amy smiled before pausing and sending a message to Yuya and Zuzu asking them to come to where they were.
"But... That wasn't a coincidence right?" Yudo asked, "Pains like that don't happen randomly."
"No, they don't." Carlita agreed. "There has to be a reason."
"Carlita? Can you check if you can see what it is?" Yudo asked her.
Carlita nodded before pulling up Yudo's shirt to look at his chest. It didn't look like anything out of the ordinary.
"I don't see anything." Carlita frowned before gently touching his heart.
It was beating softly though she can feel it skipping a beat every few seconds.
'That doesn't feel good.' she thought before frowning. "Something's really wrong."
"What's the matter?" Amy asked her worried.
Carlita and Amy walked away so Yudo couldn't hear. "His heart is skipping a lot of beats."
Amy blinked at that, "That shouldn't be happening."
"I know, but it is." Carlita said nervously. "Every few seconds it skipped a beat, I'm scared... what if something happens to him?"
"We'll have to stay close to him together, and no matter what happens wherever he is we will get him back to us." Amy told her.
Carlita nodded at that before they walked back just as Yuya and Zuzu arrived. Yudo was looking down.
"Yudo?" Carlita asked. "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry..." Yudo said softly.
"You have nothing to be sorry about." Amy whispered hugging him.
Yudo hugged her back started to cry. Amy held him while Carlita frowned.
"Yuya... what happened back there?" Carlita asked him.
"I don't know..." Yuya admitted, "While I was dueling Iggy, I blanked out for a moment though Zuzu said I summoned an Xyz Dragon."
"Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon." Amy said. "I thought you didn't own that card."
"Well... It was lended to me." Yuya admitted, "By someone named Yuto."
"Yuto?" Carlita asked in shock. "Where is he, did something happen?"
"I don't know much. He battled against someone who uses Synchro, and lost badly." Yuya answered.
Carlita grabbed Yudo. "What do you mean? What happened to Yuto?"
"...I think he vanished." Yuya answered looking down.
"Please... tell me." Carlita asked urgently.
Yuya at that started.
Flashback...
"And now Dark Rebellion. Attack-" a black, and purple haired boy with glowing eyes began to declare.
"Yuto stop it, what are you doing?" Yuya questioned running towards him. "Calm down!"
Yuto's eyes turned back to normal.
"Stop, this isn't right. Duels aren't supposed to be like this!" Yuya told him. "It's wrong, they should make people smile, not cry!"
Yuto snapped out of it asking, "W-What happened?"
Seeing that Yuya smiled.
"Well?" a white wearing biker on a bike questioned.
"I... I end my turn." Yuto ended kneeling.
? ?th Turn:
"My move, and I'll summon Speedroid Razorang in attack mode." the biker declared declared as a boomerang like machine appeared, "Now by switching him to defense mode Razorang lowers Clear Wing Synchro Dragon's attack points by 800, but thanks to his effect Clear Wing destroys Razorang and gains 2000 points instead!"
A white dragon's wings glowed as Razorang shattered.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon: (ATK: 2500 = 2000 = 4500)
"Oh, and don't think I forgot your trap card either. I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy it!"
A trap shattered from the spell's effect.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon: (ATK: 3000 - 500 = 2500)
"Attack and end this duel!"
Clear Wing charged as Dark Rebellion moved to counter attack only to be overwhelmed as the attack charged at Yuya who Yuto pushed out of the way as he got hit crying out.
Yuto: 0000
Winner ?
Flashback End...
Carlita's eyes widened in horror before clutching her heart. "Yuto... NO!"
Yudo hugged her.
"You said... you said the card was Clear Wing Synchro Dragon?" Carlita asked.
Yuya nodded looking down. Yudo asked her, "Carlita? Who's Yuto?"
"He... he was Shay and Lulu's friend... best friend. He treated me like a sister and was always there for me." Carlita answered before frowning. "Whoever owns that Synchro Dragon is going to repent."
"Carlita." Yudo frowned, "No repenting."
She turned to him. "Yudo... it's that person's fault Yuto's gone."
"But I don't want you to hurt people." Yudo told her.
Carlita looked down. "So I have to just sit and watch people I care about get hurt?"
"No. But there is something better then revenge." Yudo told her, "That is making up. That guy might have a good reason."
Carlita looked down before nodding. "Ok... ok I..."
Suddenly Amy, Yudo, Yuya and Zuzu's Duel Disk's started beeping all at the same time. Yudo looked at his startled.
"All duelists still competing in the Arc-League Championship, the second stage will soon begin. Come to the stadium immediately."
"Oh... Carlita?" Yudo asked as they but them started to walk to the arena.
He blushed before kissing Carlita's heart. Carlita blushed at that before frowning and hugging him. "Can you promise me something?"
"Yeah?" Yudo asked her curiously placing a hand on her heart.
"Never leave." she whispered.
Yudo at that kissed her ear. Carlita smiled at that.
"Want... To listen to my heart?" Yudo offered.
Carlita froze at that before shuddering. "Yudo I..."
She looked down and shook her head.
"Why not?" Yudo asked, "I mean I would do it. Like right now."
To prove that he placed his head on her chest to listen. He felt her heart going really fast. Yudo kissed it again. Carlita blushed and hugged him. "I'm rooting for you in whatever comes next."
"Well... Can you listen before?" Yudo asked.
Carlita looked unsure before putting her head against Yudo's chest. She can hear it coming along beating, and sometimes skipped a beat. Carlita started tearing up at that.
"What's wrong?" Yudo asked her.
Carlita started crying. "Something's wrong with your heart... it isn't beating normally."
That was when she noticed he had pulled his shirt up.
"Yudo?" Carlita asked nervously.
"You want to kiss it don't ya?" Yudo asked her.
Carlita looked surprised before nodding and gently kissing Yudo's heart. 'Please... don't die Yudo...'
As if sensing her thoughts he hugged her head close to his heart. She gently wiped her eyes. "We should hurry, you have a tournament to win right?"
Yudo nodded softly as they head to the arena before he kissed one of her eyes. Carlita smiled before going to take her seat with the other LID students who lost. Yudo meanwhile walked down to where the other contestants are at standing next to Amy.
"Huh, where's Dipper?" Amy asked looking around.
"If he isn't here he might already been eliminated." Yudo told her.
"He wasn't though, he won his match." Amy pointed out.
Yudo frowned hearing that, "Well I don't know."
"I hope you're ready, ladies and gentlemen. Because the moment the clock strikes 12, the action will begin and our duelist will all need to begin searching." Nico announced to them, "Searching for what, you ask? Pendulum Cards hidden all throughout the city, brand-new ones created by the Leo Corporation for this tournament."
The gathered duelists starting talking among themselves about the idea of Pendulum Cards.
Nico then continued, "In order to begin a duel, our competitors will each need to find at least two of these cards. Furthermore over the nest 24 hours, all of the matches will be upping the ante with Pendulum Cards as the ante. After deciding how many Pendulum Cards to wager, you and your opponent will duel. Whoever wins gets the Pendulum Cards that were put on the line. But you won't be having to wait in line to duel. Because the Action Field, Quartet of Quandary will be in effect. Separating the city into four, count them, four different zones for your Dueling Pleasure."
"So the entire city is the field?" Yudo asked.
"Yeah, it is." Amy nodded.
Nico then called, "All right, less than five minutes till we begin. Duelists, start your Duel Disks."
At that the Duelists activated their Duel Disks as the crowd cheered.
"Now, get set..." Nico started as a part of the Stadium Rose up showing an exit, "The time for talking is over. Now is the time for traps, spells, monsters, and much, much, more! So get ready for anything because in a throw down like this, anything can happen. Now, on your mark, get set, go!"
"LET'S DUEL!" all the competitors called as the clock struck twelve making a horn blare as they ran out.
"Stay in touch?" Amy asked Yudo.
Yudo nodded with a smile, "Yeah big sis."
With that they ran off into the field. Over the next few hours they had been dueling other duelists, and finding Pendulum Cards throughout. Then things started to get... Heated.
Carlita was watching before seeing on one of the screens that three people wearing blue blazers, and having silver masks with different color gems were running around the Ruins Area before it was cut off. Her eyes widened seeing that before shoving past Kit. "Move!"
"Hey!" Kit yelled at that as she ran off, "Rude."
"What do you think that was all about?" Julia asked him.
"Don't know." Kit shrugged.
With Carlita...
She was sprinting into the field. "Shay! Yudo! Amy!"
"Well well... We got a brat here." a voice smirked as she looked to see three more of the men.
Carlita's eyes widened in horror before she turned and started running as fast as she could to get away from them.
"Get back here!"
They started to run after her.
Meanwhile...
Yudo was walking around the Ice Part of the tournament having just finished a duel against the masked men as he sighed, "Man those Fusion Soldiers know how to make you want to catch a break."
'Yudo... you don't think they would go after the people watching do you?' Sentital inquired.
"They seem to be only focused on the Duelists here." Yudo told him, "Well we gotta make sure we take them down as best as we could, and-"
He notices someone who is wearing a purple cloak, and having purple hair. The person didn't seem to notice him but was walking off.
'He looks like someone from Fusion.' Yudo thought before running after the person, "Hey you!"
The person turned and frowned. "I thought Obelisk Force was taking care of you people so I could focus."
"So you are the one leading these-" Yudo paused, "Wait Yuya?"
"Excuse me?" the person questioned. "My name isn't Yuya, it's Yuri. Now I'm in a fairly good mood today so I'll give you a chance to turn around and we can forget this little encounter of ours."
Yudo glared, "You, and your buddies hurt Carlita so bad. So I'll take you on!"
He activated his Duel Disk. Yuri frowned at that. "Very well, you can take the first turn."
"DUEL!"

"What?" Yudo asked him.
"I'm actually looking for someone, so when I win our little game I'd like you to point me in the direction of a girl named Zuzu." Yuri answered.
Yudo grunted, "Alright but I'll tell you that your gonna get out cause I'll take you down. And Star Changer will assist!"

"Three level four monsters?" Yuri inquired before his eyes widened. "Ah, an Xyz Duelist then."
"Well first, I activate Swordsman's ability." Yudo said before drawing, "I'm permitted to draw 1 card as long as I show you what card it is."
He looked before turning it showing it's Frozen Justice.
Yuri's eyes widened more. "Ritual Summoning of all methods?"
"Ritual has a place in dueling. Even though it wasn't as used as it once was I can see it has unlimited potential!" Yudo told him, "I overlay my three level 4 monsters!"
The three flew up entering the Overlay Network.
"Get ready to meet Number 104: Masquerade!"

(ORU: 3)
Yuri raised an eyebrow. "That's quite the monster you have there."
"As Lizard is used for a summon you can draw 1 card." Yudo said as a card ejected from Yuri's Duel Disk.
Yuri nodded taking the card.
"Then in exchange my Number gains 1000 more defense points." Yudo added as his Number glowed. (DEF: 1200 + 1000 = 2200) 'I don't know what his Deck is so I gotta make sure he doesn't get a chance to get what he needs.' "Then I activate one of Masquerade's abilities! Once per turn, I send the top card of your Deck to the graveyard!"
Yuri took the card only to smile as it entered his graveyard.
"I place this face-down. Your move." Yudo ended his turn.
Yuri 1st Turn:

"Two monsters... If I have to guess now you will use Fusion." Yudo told him.
"Do you take me for an amateur?" Yuri questioned. "I activate Predaplant Flytrap's special ability, your Masquerade gets one Predator Counter."
"Huh?" Yudo asked as a small plant bit Masquerade.
Masquerade: (Predator Counter: 1)
"Hey... that didn't do anything." Yudo said seeing that.
Yuri only smirked. "I play Predapruning, this spell revives a Predaplant in my graveyard and I have just the monster in mind, my Predaplant Chlamydosundew I just discarded."
A beige plant fino appeared.

You can only use this effect of "Predaplant Chlamydosundew" once per turn.
Yudo blinked at that, "That must be from his other monster's ability to summon Flytrap."
"Now then, what is it you suggested I do before?" Yuri inquired. "Oh yes, I remember now. You said I would Fusion Summon."
"Yeah with your three monsters." Yudo told him.
Yuri smirked. "I activate Predaplant Chlamydosundew's special ability, you see this monster allows me to Fusion Summon without using Polymerization. Of course the benefit of this ability is not only can I use monsters in my hand or on my field, but I can also use any monster on your field with a Predator Counter and that monster will be treated as a DARK monster."
"So that's why you placed that Counter on my Number so you can use it for your advantage!" Yudo realized with widen eyes.
"You catch on quickly." Yuri smirked. "Unfortunately too little too late, Predaplant Chlamydosundew fuse with Number 104: Masquerade. I Fusion Summon Predaplant Chimerafflesia."

The monster charged before Yudo called, "I activate Crystal Mine!"
Crystal Mine
Normal Trap Card
When you would take battle damage: Halve that damage, then Special Summon 1 "Crystal" monster from your GY, and if you do: End the Battle Phase.
"This halves this attack would deal, and end the battle!" Yudo called as the attack struck causing him to grunt. (Yudo: 2750) "Then Swordsman comes back from the graveyard!"
Swordsman reappeared ready. Yuri smirked. "In that case I'll end my turn by getting rid of any hope you had of turning things around, Predaplant Chimerafflesia's special ability banishes any monster with a lower level."
Yudo widen his eyes as Swordsman vanished, "Man. Your not like those guys are ya. Why are you guys looking for Zuzu?"
"The Professor has plans for her." Yuri answered. "Now then, I'll end my turn."
'The Professor?' Yudo thought before grunting.

"This allows me to Ritual Summon a monster as long as I use monsters that equal 7 or more!" Yudo explained.
Yuri's eyes widened hearing that.
"And if I sacrifice Crystal Barian in my hand he counts as the entire sacrifice!" Yudo added raising a card high as Crystals build, "So say hi to Frozen Heart Ritual Dragon!"
At that Frozen Heart broke out of the crystals roaring.

Yuri's eyes widened. "Impressive, but your dragon is weaker than my monster."
"Well he won't fight alone! Cause since Crystal Barian was sacrificed Masquerade pops from the graveyard!" Yudo called as Masquerade jumped out ready.
Yuri frowned at that.
"Next I use Masquerade's ability for you to mill your top card!" Yudo added as Masquerade's rings glowed again.
Yuri sent the card only to frown as Yudo noticed it was Polymerization.
'Okay good thing.' Yudo thought, "Alright now I activate Rank-Up-Magic Crystal Adversity!"

The Summoned monster's Attribute becomes WATER, also it gains this effect:
● Once per turn during either player's turn when your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card: Negate the activation, and if you do banish it.
"With it, I can make Masquerade into a Chaos Number!" Yudo called as the Number flew up, "Chaos Xyz Evolution! Come here, Chaos Number 104: Umbral Horror Masquerade!"
Umbral Horror Masquerade appeared readying his staff.

(ORU: 1)
"As he's summoned a spell or trap is destroyed. That face-down to your left!" Yudo called as his monster charged a blast.
The card shattered as Yuri winced.
"And now Frozen Heart attack Flytrap!" Yudo called as Frozen Heart attacked the plant.
Yuri braced himself as the attack hit.
(Yuri: 2000)
"Next Masquerade attack that Fusion!" Yudo added as Masquerade charged in.
"Predaplant Chimerafflesia has another ability, during battle he gains 1000 attack points and your monster loses 1000 points." Yuri revealed.
"Not on my watch! I activate Masquerade's ability!" Yudo called as Masquerade glowed (ORU: 1 - 0), "When you activate a monster effect, I can use an Overlay Unit to negate that effect! Afterwards you have to discard a card, and when that happens your Life Points are cut in half!"
Yuri's eyes widened even more was a card in his hand vanished revealing another Polymerization.
(Yuri: 1000)
"Finish that monster Masquerade!" Yudo called as his Xyz fired a blast.
Chimerafflesia roared as Masquerade destroyed it sending Yuri flying back as hit the ground.
(Yuri: 0500)
'Whew close one... Alright next turn is the end.' Yudo thought to himself breathing, "Okay, I end my turn."
Who was watching the match was a red haired man wearing a yellow, and brown uniform looking shocked, "This kid... Who is he? He wields not only Vector's Numbers he can also Ritual Summon which is enough for Yuri to get on low points? Though I feel bad for him."
Yuri 2nd Turn:
Yuri slowly got up before dusting himself off. "Close, but not close enough."
"What?" Yudo asked hearing that.
Yuri looked over and frowned. "What are you still doing standing around?"
Yudo blinked hearing that, "Yuri? Is something wrong?"
Yuri paused. "You're concerned about me? You'd be better off worrying about yourself."
"I don't care if your an enemy. Your much better being treated as an equal, and a friend." Yudo told him.
Hearing that Yuri frowned. "This duel is over."
With that he deactivated his Duel Disk and started walking off.
"I'll find her myself."
His Duel Disk activated again.
"What?" Yuri questioned at that.
"But I want enact justice to someone like you." Yudo said to him, "So let's finish this!"
Yuri frowned. "I told you this is over. Dennis if he wants to duel you handle him."
"Take your turn!" Yudo snapped.
Yuri sighed. "Fine."
Yuri 2nd Turn:
He drew his card only he looked annoyed.
"Yudo!"
Hearing that he blinked looking over seeing Carlita, and Amy running over, "Guys!"
Seeing them Yuri's eyes widened. "What?"
"Are you two alright?" Yudo asked them.
"Yeah, but what's going on?" Amy asked.
"Dennis, what's going on?" Yuri questioned. "Who is that girl?"
"I-I don't know... But if she looks like HER then she might be what the Professor wants also." Dennis answered stuttering quietly so they wouldn't hear.
"I'm against the leader of those guys who are using those Fusion Gears." Yudo answered, "I'm winning, and next turn will be the end."
"Well then make sure they can't escape. I'll finish this and then move onto her." Yuri replied. "Then I'll find Zuzu as well."
Yudo said to the girls, "Carlita, Amy stand back, and watch."
With that he turned his attention back to the duel. Yuri looked at his hand. "I activate Chimerafflesia's final ability."
"Huh?" Yudo asked as Yuri's deck ejected a card.
"During the Standby Phase if it was destroyed I can add Polymerization to my hand." Yuri explained. "Now, I'll summon Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra in attack mode."

"Now then, you have only yourself to blame for this. Your dragon is pathetic."
"And why is that?" Yudo asked him.
Yuri only smirked. "Watch and learn, I activate Polymerization and use it to fuse Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio with Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra!"
Polymerization

The two monsters flew up and entered the Fusion Vortex.
"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!"

'2800... Masquerade has it beat but-' Yudo started only for Frozen Heart to start roaring as Starving Venom roared also.
BA-DUMP!
Yudo grunted suddenly grabbing his chest, "Ow!"
"When I summon Starve Venom Fusion Dragon I can pick one monster you special summoned and Starving Venom steals its attack points." Yuri revealed. "I pick that lame little lizard you summoned!"
At that vines shot out of Starving Venom Fusion Dragon's back and grabbed Frozen Heart Ritual Dragon as a red glow flowed through them.
Starving Venom: (ATK: 2800 + 2400 = 5200)
"It stole Frozen Heart's points!?" Amy asked in shock.
"Get down Yudo!" Carlita cried as Yudo weakly looked up in shock.
"You were so insistent on finishing this duel so I'll oblige, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon destroy Frozen Heart Ritual Dragon and finish him off!" Yuri called.
Starving Venom fired a blast at Frozen Heart who tried to fight back but shattered as the blast reached to Yudo who stand before being struck as he screamed flying through the air.
Yudo: 0000
Yuri: 0500
Yuri wins the duel!
"Yudo!" Amy and Carlita cried in horror seeing that.
Yuri approached him. "You lost, and to the victor goes the spoils. Enjoy the rest of your life inside a card."
Yudo grunted slowly looking over to the girls who knelled over him, "Carlita... I'm so sorry... I couldn't avenge your friends."
"Get up... we can still get away." Carlita told him. "Please, we can run."
"Carlita... Here." Yudo grunted handing her his Numbers.
Carlita's eyes widened in shock before trembling. "What are you doing?"
"Sorry but... I'm getting weaker." Yudo said struggling to keep his eyes open, "I let you, and Ames down didn't I?"
"Dennis get the girl out of the way." Yuri told him.
Dennis shrugged walking over.
"I'm scared..." Yudo said before closing his eyes starting to glow brightly.
"What?" Yuri questioned seeing that.
"YUDO!" the girls screamed as Dennis grunted.
The light from Yudo shot into Yuri. Yuri's eyes widened in shock before he cried out and collapsed before vanishing in a blue glow.
"Y-Yuri!?" Dennis asked surprised before saying, "Ah gotta get out of here!"
With that he ran off.
But... Yudo was gone when they checked on him. Amy was trembling. "No... no please no..."
Carlita stared before screaming, "NO! YUDO!"
Her screamed echoed throughout the field. Suddenly Amy clenched her fists before picking up Yudo's Numbers and grabbing her arm. "Carlita come on."
"A-Amy?" Carlita asked with tears.
Amy had tears running down her face and looked like it was taking all her strength not to completely break down. "Those masked guys could come back... we need to go."
Carlita nodded in tears as they ran off.
Meanwhile at a Academy...
A bright light occurred as the residents looks over before the light faded showing it was Yuri unconscious.
"That... what the?" asked a boy in a red blazer.
"No way... you guys don't think he lost do you?" asked a girl in a yellow blazer.
They soon took noticed of two cards in his hand. Another boy in a red blazer nervously walked over only to pause. "Someone has to tell tell the Professor."
A girl wearing a blue blazer called someone, "Professor?"
At that a figure approached.
Meanwhile back in Paradise City...
Amy was running with Carlita through the Action Field while avoiding the Fusion Dimension duelists. Suddenly a horn blared as the field vanished.
"Time's up! The Battle Royal is officially over!" Nico announced.
Amy's eyes widened. "The stadium, we have to get to the stadium. Declan should be there."
Carlita nodded as they ran. Eventually the two of them reached the stadium. They see several people are there talking to each other including Declan. Seeing him Amy and Carlita ran over.
"Declan!" Amy called.
Hearing that they looked over. Carlita was in tears as Amy looked worried. "Yudo lost."
"What?" Yuya asked in shock, "But... He's so strong!"
Amy started trembling. "He used Fusion Monsters, and took Frozen Heart's attack points. Then Yudo just vanished."
Carlita started to break down before crying. Suddenly her eyes widened. "Wait... it's just like Yuto."
"What?" Shay asked her, "What about Yuto?"
Yuya looked down before explaining what happened the other night with the duelist who defeated Yuto.
At the same time Amy's eyes widened. "Zuzu?"
Who she was talking too was a purple haired girl wearing Zuzu's clothes who said, "I'm not Zuzu. My name is Celina."
"Celina? Then... where's Zuzu?" Amy asked her.
"I saw someone... That guy that defeated Yuto was with her, and they both vanished." Yuya answered.
"What?" Carlita asked in shock. "Why didn't you stop him?"
"I tried!" Yuya defended.
"What do we do now?" she questioned. "Yudo's gone, Yuto's gone... Lulu was kidnapped..."
Amy took her hand, "We will get Yudo back."
Carlita met her eyes before nodding. "Yeah... you're right."
bopdog111: And Yudo's time as the protagonist ends with that.
Ulrich362: True, our main character has fallen in a duel against the Fusion Dimension.
bopdog111: But their are two that can fill the role.
Ulrich362: Well they don't have a choice now. See you in the next chapter. Oh, and for the record this will be one of the shorter arcs in comparison to the others.
