bopdog111: We're onto what seems to be a fun chapter.
Ulrich362: It definitely could be fun. The Lancers, Claire, and Emily are heading to another Dimension.
bopdog111: And said Dimension has certain cards Yudo, and Amy has.
Ulrich362: True, so let's see what happens once everyone arrives. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
A flash later, and all of the Lancers with the new additions appeared in the middle of a destroyed city.
"This... what is this?" Claire asked in shock looking around as Carlita visibility shuddered seeing the destruction.
Yudo looked around saddened, "The Xyz Dimension AKA Heartland City. Obelisk Force decimated it to the ground to find Lulu, and to power up the Arc-V Reactor."
Lulu looked down. "That's right, all of this... it's my fault."
"No it's not Lulu." Shay hugged his sister before he growled, "It's all on Duel Academy's hands."
"It's no one's fault." Declan stated simply stating, "Whatever reason why Duel Academy is doing this Arc-Area Project must be strong to level an entire Dimension such as this."
"Where should we start first?" Amy asked them.
Just then they hear a voice who called, "Ah, well well. Shay you finally came back."
A orange, and black portal appeared as someone walked through as the portal closed. It was a orange haired teenager with a brown jacket having a smirk on his face.
Shay's eyes widened seeing him. "That... Vector is that you?"
"What you expecting somebody else?" the boy, Vector, smirked shrugging to him. When he noticed Lulu he dropped his smirk, "I can see you finally found your sister."
"Not exactly, can you take us to the others? Things are... complicated to say the least. A lot more complicated than we every imagined." Shay frowned.
"No problem." Vector grinned before seeing Yuya, and narrowed his eyes, "You look like Yuto, but your not really him." And when he noticed Carlita his grin came back, "And Lita! Glad to see your safe, and sound!" He offered a hand for her to shake.
"Is he with you?" Carlita asked hesitantly.
She shakes his hand which Vector only said, "Their all safe Carlita. Including your sister, she'll be happy to know your okay."
Carlita's eyes widened as she started to tear up before hugging him. Vector looked surprised but hugged her, and notices Yudo was looking at him in awe which Vector asked him, "What you looking at me like that for?"
Yudo blinked before looking down embarrassed at being caught, "Uh, sorry."
Sensing something Vector narrowed his eyes to him, "There is something about you, that's familiar... I can't place my hand on it." He stand thinking before shaking his head, "No time to chat though, we better head to the Duel Sanctuary before Obelisk Force comes. Follow me."
"That makes sense." Rin nodded. "A Sanctuary sounds like a safe place to go."
After walking on a large case of stairs Vector opened the doors to a large room announcing with a grin, "Hey everyone! Look who came back!"
The occupants turned seeing Shay was walking in with Lulu, and Carlita with the Lancers, Claire, and Emily behind them.
"Shay, you found Lulu?" asked a girl with long blue hair.
A purple haired boy having an emblem necklace stood up walking stopping in front of Shay, "Well you took your time Shay. But you rescued Lulu like you said." Looking around them he then asked, "Where's Yuto?"
"It's complicated." Shay frowned. "Really complicated Shark."
"You been away for a while so it must've been." a gray haired teen wearing glasses said hearing that with crossed arms sitting on the steps nearby, "But I guess you learned a bit of secrets about Duel Academy?"
"We learned a lot more than that." Lulu mentioned.
"Well either way you guys came just in time." said a pink haired boy with a golden necklace leaning against a pole, "Cause Duel Academy nearly has us completely destroyed. Astral went to ask Eliphas for assistance but you know how he is."
"Huh, but I thought Eliphas gave his life to help you stop Don Thousand." Yudo mentioned.
"The Numeron Code restored him." the boy said before pausing looking at Yudo in shock, "Wait a sec, how do you know that?"
Yudo flinched when he sees everyone in the Sanctuary looked at him for something that no-one else founded out.
"And there's something about you that's familiar." Shark said looking at him.
Vector agreed with a nod, "I had the same feeling Nash." Shark gave him a glare which Vector corrected himself, "SHARK! Shark, my bad. Like something... we should be respected towards."
"You talking about me?" a voice the two, and five other occupants haven't heard in a long time said from behind Shark, and Vector.
Shocked they turned to the voice. They see Sentital was there with crossed arms looking at the two males before him.
"Who are you?" Vector questioned in shock.
SMACK!
"Idiot!" Shark spat having smacked Vector's head who rubbed it painfully giving a pained look to Shark which he didn't care, "Don't you remember, it's Sentital!"
"Wait, the Sentital?" questioned a blonde with long hair. "The Barian God before our eyres?"
"Bend a knee! Now!" Shark ordered him, and 5 others bowing to the Barian in front of him.
They seven of them bowed as Carlita suddenly frowned. "Yuma, where's Kite?"
The boy Yuma was staring in awe from seeing the seven bowing to someone he didn't know before hearing Carlita's question, and said, "Well uh... Kite... went out on his own."
"He what?" she asked in horror. "Why didn't anyone try to stop him?"
"We tried. But Kite stormed passed us." a girl with green hair answered.
"That... but Vector said the only people who were still fighting were..." she started before collapsing to her knees. "No... no way, not him... it can't be real."
Yudo pat her back comforting her before Sentital looked over, "Nash, Vector, Mizar, Marin, Dumon, Girag, and of course, Alito... you seven had been doing well since we last meet it seems. That is what I want to say, but from the way this Dimension had been, it is doing harm them good."
"That's an understatement." mentioned a tan boy with curly hair. "This might be worse than when he was involved."
"But how did you get free if I may ask?" the glasses teen asked him cautiously.
"Rise."
All seven raised up as Sentital floated beside Yudo patting his head telling them, "This young men here before you freed me from my seal in another Dimension set up by Don Thousand. I had been with him ever since then, giving him aid. And I expect you seven to do the same."
The seven of them looked surprised hearing that.
"He broke Don Thousand's seal?" Vector asked in shock. "Incredible."
"Uh hey Shark?" Yuma asked him really confused. When he turned over he asked, "You mind telling us who this guy is?"
"That's not some 'guy' Yuma." Shark said seriously to him, "This is someone who is the complete opposite of Don Thousand. Sentital, one of the three Deities of the Barians, and is the one who is the most benevolent of them."
Sentital gave a small bow before raising up, "You must be the one who the Original Number selected. Yudo had told me a lot about your adventures gathering the Numbers."
"Wait, how does he know about that?" the blonde questioned. "Just who is he?"
"Someone who came from a world different. My future self had brought him here to this age." Sentital said to them.
Yudo said to him, "I-I can tell them Sentital."
He looked to him before nodding, "I understand. You should probably mention them you, and your sister's unique situations with them."
"I know." Yudo nodded before looking to Carlita, "Carlita we will look for Kite once we're done here. Can you stay here until then please?"
She looked unsure but nodded. "Ok."
Yudo stood up turning to them before he gulped, "Well... to put this simply... I'm from what you might call a alternate world. Where everything here... is a big TV series."
Everyone there looked stunned before Shay put a hand on Yudo's shoulder. "He's telling the truth, I saw it with my own eyes."
Yudo then proceeded to explain everything to them where he came from, how he got there, how he found his sister, got beaten by Yuri, rejoined them, and now where they are.
By the time he finished everyone was just staring at him in disbelief.
"So let me get this straight, you're from a world where our entire lives and the lives of everyone in all of the Dimensions is a fictional show for your entertainment, your parents were murdered by someone who wanted your dragon card, you were somehow reunited with your twin sister who ended up in another world years before you even knew about her thanks to Sentinel's future self, and then you considered joining the war against Duel Academy only to lose to the same person who kidnapped Lulu... only to convince him to let her go so he could duel her again... I'm not even done and it's already hard to believe that's not some kind of crazy dream you had."
"Well... me, and my sister had... something unique." Yudo answered before looking at Amy who nodded before they show the seven people some cards.
Masquerade, Abyss Splash, Silent Honor ARK, Crystalzero, Ragnazero, Titanic Moth, and Rebarian Shark along with all their Chaos forms excluding Titanic Moth, and Rebarian Shark.
"Why are they with you! Give them back here-" the blonde went to take them but Shark held his arm preventing him, "Shark?"
Shark stared before holding his hand out to Amy, "Silent Honor ARK, let me see it."
Shark looks before taking out a card comparing them, "Take a look at this." The six looked seeing the two which what he pulled was a copy of Silent Honor ARK, "It's a pretty convincing copy but, there is a difference between them."
The others looked at the two cards.
"But, Don Thousand created the Over Hundred Numbers so how can there be copies? Let alone from another world?" the blue-haired girl asked seeing that.
"In the world there from," they looked to Sentital who explained, "there are several mercs, and merchandise released including making Duel Monster cards. Dueling is not as advanced as it is here but it held strong including things called 'Banlists' to keep really powerful cards under control, and weakening the effects of several cards. Including the power of CXyz Barian Hope. The cards they showed you, are not as powerful as their original selves but despite that they both, are still strong duelists."
"He's right, actually... we both also have this." Amy mentioned showing her copy of The Seventh One.
The seven turned to what she took out. Seeing the card Yudo nodded taking his own copy as they both handed them to Shark. Taking them Shark looked at them as his eyes narrowed, "It's definitely weaker, and more conditional but it's still the same." He hand them back before saying, "I'm not one for politics but if Sentital trusts you two, and you freed him we go by what he says."
The seven of them bowed to them which Yudo blinked, "Hey uh you seven shouldn't do that. I'm nothing more then a insect to you guys."
"Just let them do it Yudo. You got one of your favorite characters here in front of you who is thankful for helping someone to them." Claire smiled to Yudo patting his back.
Yudo rubbed the back of his head chuckling a little sheepish, "Yeah, I guess."
Shay suddenly frowned and walked over to a large muscular man with a mohawk. "Girag, how bad have things gotten since Yuto and I left?"
"A lot. We were holding out fine but then Kite walked out on us, and then Duel Academy stepped in more with several more officers." Girag answered before sneering, "If only that Yusho haven't abandoned us we would've faired better..."
Shocked hearing that Yuya asked, "Hey you know my dad!?" That instantly caught the attention of everyone in the room.
"You're Yusho Sakaki's son?" Shark questioned.
"Yeah, my name's Yuya! Do you guys know where he is?" Yuya asked them.
"He's probably getting rewarded at Duel Academy for helping them destroy our home." frowned the gray haired teen with glasses.
"No, my dad wouldn't do something like that! He disappeared 3 years ago, and I knew he isn't a coward!" Yuya pointed out.
"Three..." Shark started in shock. "Yuma, wasn't it three years ago he arrived?"
"Uh yeah. Last I heard he did appear 3 years back before any of this happened." Yuma answered just as stunned.
"That would have been due to my actions." Declan stated. "I requested that he help fight against Duel Academy myself."
"Who are you?" the curled haired boy asked him.
"Akaba." Shark narrowed his eyes, "As in-"
"Leo Akaba?" Shay asked before he said, "Yes, he's the son of the Professor. But he's leading a Team to stop Duel Academy." He turned over to Amy, "Or more accurate his adopted sister is."
"What?" Yudo asked Amy shocked having not known that she's the one leading the Lancers.
"It's true." she nodded before explaining what happened and how she dueled Henrietta.
Yudo looked stunned on how his adoptive mother would just tossed him aside when he lost against Yuri but was proud of Amy teaching her a lesson, "Amy. You managed to take your life back from her."
"It was thanks to you." Amy admitted.
Yudo only smiled as Shark stared at the two before turning to the blue haired girl, "Does this remind you of anyone Rio?"
"Yeah, now that you mention it." she smiled.
Noticing Vector's smirk Shark asked, "Vector, what are you planning?"
"Nothing." Vector grinned to him.
Shark glared, "Vector."
"Ah man Shark, can't cool down on the seriousness here huh?" Vector shrugged with a sigh before saying, "Well it's those Numbers those two have. Sentital said, that their really experienced with them but I'm wondering what they can do against the genuine articles including Barian Hope."
Yudo's eyes widened. "Huh, wait... do you mean..."
The glasses teen cupped his chin, "Now that Vector mentions it, despite them being weaker versions Sentital has a bit of faith in them."
"Honestly that has me interested." the curly haired boy admitted before he grinned, "So guys should we see what they can do against them?"
"I could care less who is stronger but it does have my interest." the blonde crossed his arms at this, "This is still Shark's decision. What say you?" He asked him which made the six looked over to him for what he thinks.
"Sentital, are you able to keep the Fusion Dimension from noticing the duel?" Shark asked. "We can't risk being discovered."
"I can transport you all to a field they can't access." Sentital answered who is also interested by what Vector said.
"Hear that Yudo, you can duel your favorite Barian Emperor." Claire smiled.
"Not really." Vector shrugged though he wished he would duel, "You duel our leader here." He, and the other five handed cards to Shark who takes them.
"Me too." Amy added with a nod.
Yudo turned to Sentital, "Sentital can you bring something I have from my world here for me to use?"
"Of course, what is it?" he inquired.
"My world's version of, CXyz Barian Hope." Yudo answered.
Sentital just nodded closing his eyes as the card appeared in front of Yudo. The Emperors watched as Yudo takes it looking at it which Amy decided to have a look cause of being curious.
"Yudo, what is that card?" she asked him.
"The combined power of all of the Seven Emperors." Yudo answered, "In his duel with Yuma, Shark used it as a homage to all of them, and use all of their abilities in a single turn."
"Yeah, and he nearly beat me with that card." Yuma agreed.
"Are both parties ready?" Sentital asked them which they nodded before after meditating the Emperors, Yudo, Carlita, and Amy vanished.
The groups appeared at a underwater like shrine which Yudo looked around, "This place... it's where Shark, and Rio got their Mythyrian Numbers."
"Yeah, it is." Shark nodded.
Yudo looked to Carlita before saying, "Carlita, you can watch if you want."
Turning to his sister he asked her, "Are you ready Amy?"
"Yeah." Amy nodded as they turned to Shark as the other Emperors stepped away.
"Since this between us, I better get to my true abilities." Shark raised his arm as the Emblem glowed, "Go Barian Battlemorph!" He glowed turning purple as he started changing.
When the glowing ceased he is a purple skinned, and red cape man with a golden crown on his head wearing a suit no mouth, and having red pink eyes staring at them. The others stepped aside to watch the duel.
"How do you guys think this would go?" Vector asked them.
"Hard to decide." Rio admitted, "Reginald is the best out of us but those two have Sentital by their side."
"This can go either way can it?" the curled man asked.
"Depends." Girag shrugged at this.
"Still could care less." the blonde said looking intently.
The glasses teen turned to Carlita. "Carlita, what do you think?"
She looked down clearly still worried about Kite and how she hadn't seen her family yet. "... Shark's going to lose."
"Are you two ready?" Shark asked them.
They nodded readying as he said to them, "For this match you two will share the same field, life points, and graveyard. You can't check each other's hand, but can use what card they have."
They nodded again readying before calling all together.
"DUEL!"

Let the duel commence!
Shark 1st Turn:
"As the lone opponent I go first!" Shark looked at his hand before calling, "I summon out Right-Hand Shark!"

Right-Hand Shark

An Xyz Monster that was Summoned using only WATER monsters as material, including this card on the field, gains this effect.
● This card cannot be destroyed by battle.
You can only use each effect of "Right-Hand Shark" once per turn.
"As this card is summoned, I take Left-Hand Shark to my hand." Shark said adding a card, "Then after that, I activate the spell, Overlay Network!"
At that the Overlay Network appeared above them.
(face-up)
Overlay Network

You can activate 1 of these effects.
● Target 1 face-up monster you control that has a Level; Special Summon 1 monster with the same Level from your hand or GY in Defense Position, but its effects are negated. You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck the turn you activate this effect, except Xyz Monsters.

"Thanks to this baby, I can summon a monster from my hand or graveyard that has the same level as one monster on the field in Defense Position. The downside is that it can't have it's abilities, and I can only summon Xyz Monsters from my Extra Deck for the rest of the turn!" Shark said taking a second card, "So now, that allows me to summon Double Shark!"
At that a blue scaled shark popped up growling.

Shark raised his arm up, "I Overlay Right-Hand Shark, and Double Shark!"
The two glowed blue flying into the Overlay Network.
"Appear! Unappeased Soul placed aboard the Ark. Arise from the abyss so deep not even light can reach it! Xyz Summon! Number 101! Silent Honor ARK!"

"The real genuine Silent Honor ARK..." Yudo trailed off in awe.
"We'll be ok Yudo." Amy reassured him.
"Well now I activate the spell, Ascension of the Seven Emperors!"
Ascension of the Seven Emperors

If your opponent controls a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck: You can banish this card from your GY and send 1 "Rank-Up-Magic" Spell from your hand to the GY; this effect becomes that Spell's effect when that card is activated. You can only use each effect of "Ascension of the Seven Emperors" once per turn.
"Ascension of the Seven Emperors? He didn't had a card like that." Yudo said surprised.
"Well this card takes a Seven Emperors card, a Barian's card, Seventh One, or a Quick-Play Rank-Up-Magic from my Deck, and I either add it to my hand, or place it at the top of my Deck. I choose to place it at the top! The card, I select is Barian's Chaos Draw!" Shark shows a card before placing it. He then sets a card, "I end my turn with one card face-down."
Shark's Hand: 1/Field: Number 101: Silent Honor ARK (Attack Position/ORU: 2/Cannot be destroyed by battle), Overlay Network (face-up), One Set Card

"I go first for us!" Amy called drawing looking before calling, "And I summon Arctic Sage!"

(Attack Position)
Arctic Sage

Level 4
Fairy/Effect
ATK: 1200
DEF: 0
When this card is Normal Summoned: All monsters your opponent controls loses 500 ATK. If you control only this face-up card, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Arctic" monster from your hand. You cannot Special Summon monsters except WATER monsters the turn you activate this effect.
"When this girl is summoned all of your monsters lose 500 attack points!" Amy called as Sage glowed weakening Shark's monster.
Silent Honor ARK: (ATK: 2100 - 500 = 1600)
"Then since I have only Sage on the field, I can summon Arctic Thunderbird from my hand!" Amy called as Thunderbird popped up cawing.
(Attack Position)
Arctic Thunderbird

DEF: 100

You can only activate each effect of "Arctic Thunderbird" per turn.
"Arctic?" Girag asked. "I've never heard of a deck like that."
Rio looked at Thunderbird, "Is that like my Thunderbird?"
"Now I Overlay Thunderbird, and Sage!"
The two glowed flying up in the Overlay Network as she called, "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!"
The Overlay Network shattered as it revealed herself.
"Princess of the Icy Frost! Cross through this voyage, and conjure up a frost storm! Xyz Summon! Appear Number 103: Ragnazero!"
At that what popped was her Ragnazero readying her sword staring at Silent Honor ARK.
(Attack Position)
Number 103: Ragnazero

Rank 4
Fairy/Effect/Xyz
ATK: 2400
DEF: 1200
2 Level 4 monsters
Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls, whose current ATK is different from its original ATK; destroy it, and if you do, draw 1 card.
(ORU: 2)
"It is technically a Number, even if it is a weaker one." the blonde noted.
Amy then called, "Ragnazero's ability activates!" Taking the Unit in her sword (ORU: 2 - 1) Ragnazero raised it up, "By using an Overlay Unit, a monster on your field in attack mode is destroyed, then I draw a card!"
Ragnazero slashed down as a explosion was heard from Silent Honor ARK only for the smoke to reveal it's still on the field.
Silent Honor ARK: (ORU: 2 - 1)
"Silent Honor ARK can use an Overlay Unit to avoid destruction." Shark explained.
Amy said to him, "I already know that! It just means, you have one less Overlay Unit! Ragnazero attack Silent Honor ARK!"
Ragnazero charged at Silent Honor ARK slashing down triggering a second explosion while Shark braced himself. (Shark: 3200/Hand: 1)
"Now your monster has one less Overlay Unit, and that means you can't use it to avoid destruct-" Amy started only to pause to see Silent Honor ARK is still standing but still has it's second Overlay Unit.
"What? Ragnazero was a number so how does he still have that unit?" Yudo asked just as confused.
Shark explained to the two, "It's cause of an effect." They looked at him as he explained, "When Right-Hand Shark is used for an Xyz Summon, and all the other monsters I use are WATER Monsters it gives the monster summoned by it the ability to be indestructible in battle." He looked at them, "So even if you use the Numbers that are the same as ours, Silent Honor ARK won't fall down to them."
"Not good." Yudo frowned.
Amy grunted setting a card, "I place 1 card down, and end my turn. Your turn little brother."
Amy's Hand: 3/Field with Yudo: Number 103: Ragnazero (Attack Position/ORU: 1), One Set Card
Yudo 1st Turn:
"Right." Yudo nodded drawing, "My turn!" He drew looking before calling, "And I use Ragnazero's ability!" Ragnazero takes her second Overlay Unit in her sword.
Shark at that called, "Silent Honor ARK's effect!"
The attack struck but Silent Honor ARK wasn't destroyed from sacrificing his second Overlay Unit.
Silent Honor ARK: (ORU: 1 - 0)
Ragnazero: (ORU: 1 - 0)
"But now that effect's used up!" Yudo called before calling, "I summon Crystal Guppy!"
Guppy rose up bubbling happily.

This card can attack your opponent directly. If this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent from a Direct Attack: You can pay 500 LP, draw 1 card, but you cannot activate it this turn. If you control a "Crystal" monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, or 1 "Number" monster this card can be treated as two Xyz Materials.
"Then as I have a Crystal, I can summon Crystal Swordsman!" Yudo added as Swordsman popped up readying.

"With Crystal Swordsman's ability, I draw a card, and show it!" Yudo drew before showing it's Crystal Covenant, "Then I Overlay Level 4 Swordsman, and Crystal Guppy! When I have a Number on the field, Guppy counts as two monsters!"
At that after Guppy duplicated herself the three flew entering the Overlay Network.
"With these three monsters, I build the Overlay Network, and Xyz Summon, Number 104: Masquerade!"
Masquerade's sealed form appeared before deforming into Masquerade itself readying with it's rings.

(ORU: 2)
Amy smiled seeing the monster.
"Huh my number of all things." Vector smirked seeing this, "I wonder how he uses it."
Yudo raised his arm, "I better get rid of that card before he can draw it! I activate Masquerade's ability!" Masquerade glowed with it's ring, "It forces you to send your top card to the graveyard!"
The card glowed only for Shark to call, "Do you really think, I'd allow that! Face-down activate, Protection of the Seven Emperors!"
Protection of the Seven Emperors
Counter Trap Card
When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated, while you control a monster that has a number between "Number 101" and "Number 107" in its name: Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card. After this effect resolves, you can banish this card from your GY: Special Summon "Number C" monsters from your Extra Deck, ignoring summoning conditions equal to the number of monsters your opponent controls, but negate their effects. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon.)
"Since I have a Number, and you use a card effect, this Counter Trap can cancel that trap out, and destroy your monster!" Shark called as Masqurade's ability backfired destroying him.
Yudo grunted, "Should've guessed he protected it..."
"But that's not all. Next, I can then summon an Over-Hundred Number from my Extra Deck with it's effects negated!" Shark called taking out a card, "So now, let's bring out Alito's own number! Chaos Number 105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus!"
What rose up beside Silent Honor ARK was a warrior that has a red 105 on it looking demonic with red chaos energy.
(Attack Position)

● Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy it, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's ATK on the field.

Shark 2nd Turn:
"Well, I tested the waters, and you two aren't bad." Shark stated to them as they grunted, "But there is much about the power of Chaos, you have yet to witness." His hand glowed red, and black as he moves to draw, "Be ready you two, cause now here is my true power."
Yudo's eyes widened seeing that. "Chaos Draw!"
Shark at that said, "Correct. In the form of it's card form." He drew calling, "BARIAN'S CHAOS DRAW!" He drew looking before calling, "And I activate the card, Barian's Chaos Draw!"
Barian's Chaos Draw

To activate this card, you must draw it for your normal draw in your Draw Phase, reveal it, and keep it revealed until the Main Phase 1. During your Main Phase 1 that same turn: You can activate 1 of these effects.

● Special Summon up to 2 monsters from your Deck, but negate their effects, then, immediately after this effect resolves, Xyz Summon 1 "Number" Xyz Monster using monsters you control, including all the Summoned monsters.
"This does one of two things. I enter use the effect of a Seven Emperors Spell, or Seventh One from my Deck by using the card. Or I summon 2 monsters from my Deck without their effects, and Xyz Summon 1 Number using those monsters." Shark said to them.
"This should be fun." Vector smirked.
"I summon Abyss Shark, and Shark Cruiser!" Shark called as the two popped up growling.

"Then from Barian's Chaos Draw's effect, I Overlay both parties!" Shark called as the two flew up entering the Overlay Network.
"The holy drop falls into the Chaos. It shows its power, purifying the Chaos. Xyz Summon! Appear, Number 73! God of Roaring Waterfalls - Abyss Splash!"
At that a Abyss Splash appeared beside Silent Honor ARK readying itself.

(ORU: 2)
Carlita frowned seeing the monster.
"That's only the start, I activate the other effect of Overlay Network!" Shark called as the card glowed, "I add 1 card from my Xyz Monster to my hand! I take Crystal Shark from Abyss Splash to my hand!"
The Overlay Unit glowed as he added the card taking it before calling, "Now I activate Abyss Splash' ability! By using an Overlay Unit, it's attack points double!"
Abyss Splash takes the unit growing stronger.
Abyss Splash: (ATK: 2400 x 2 = 4800)
"And it doesn't halve the damage?" Amy grunted.
Shark called, "Battle! Abyss Splash attack Ragnazero! Deity Waterfall!" Abyss Splash fired a blast aiming at Ragnazero who stood on guard.
Knowing she has to do something Amy reached to activate a card, "I activate my trap card-"
"Crystal Covenant's effect activates!" Yudo cut in which surprised her, "By paying 500 points when you attack, I summon 1 Crystal from my hand." (Amy/Yudo: 3500/Hand: (Both: 3)) "Rise Crystal Ghost!"
At that Crystal Ghost popped up wooing.
(Attack Position)
Crystal Ghost

When this card is Special Summoned: You can target 1 "Crystal" monster you control, make this card's level equal to that target's level. During your opponent's turn, when your opponent declares an attack, you can pay 500 LP: Negate that attack. You can only use each effect of "Crystal Ghost" per turn.
"No points?" the blonde asked curiously.
Abyss Splash still kept attacking which Yudo called, "Crystal Ghost's effect activates!" (Amy/Yudo: 3000/Hand: (Amy: 3/Yudo: 2)) "By paying 500 points an attack is negated!"
Abyss Splash's mighty attack was stopped before he can connect. Shark shrugged, "Okay not bad, but I got more! Silent Honor ARK rid us of that cracking ghost!"
Silent Honor ARK fired cannons striking Crystal Ghost destroying it while Yudo, and Amy braced themselves. (Amy/Yudo: 1400/Hand: (Amy: 3/Yudo: 2))
"Finally Comet Cestus attack Ragnazero!" Shark called as Alito's Number charged in at Ragnazero.
Amy at that called, "I activate my trap, Arctic Blizzardshield!"
Arctic Blizzardshield
Normal Trap Card
When a "Arctic" or "Number" monster you control is targeted for an attack: Destroy the attacking monster, then all monsters your opponent controls lose ATK equal to half the ATK of the destroyed monster until the End Phase.
"So now your Number is destroyed!" Comet Cestus was struck in a attack before shattering, "Then half of it's points are dealt to both of your monster's!"
Silent Honor ARK: (ATK: 1600 - 1400 = 200)
Abyss Splash: (ATK: 4800 - 1400 = 3400)
Shark only said to her, "Why thank you."
"Huh?" Amy asked hearing that.
"Since all monsters on my field are WATER monsters, I can use this card's effect in my hand." He shows Abyss Shark, "It's the card, I added earlier."
Yudo grunted, "Well before you do so, I send Covenant to the graveyard to use it's effect!" Covenant vanished as he explained, "At the end of the Battle Phase, we can add a Rank-Up-Magic card from our Deck to our hand by we can't use it this turn!" Turning to his sister he said, "Take this one Ames!"
"It can't be The Seventh One, so what is she planning?" the curled man inquired.
She added the card before Shark said, "Since all monsters I have are WATER monsters, I can summon Abyss Shark from my hand."
Abyss Shark popped up growling. (Attack Position)
"Then I can add a Level 3, 4, or 5 Fish to my hand!" Shark takes a card before calling, "And this ones got an effect himself! By halving the attack points of Abyss Shark, I can summon Crystal Shark!"
Abyss Shark: (ATK: 1200 / 2 = 600)
At that a shark similar to Yudo's Crystal Shark popped up growling.

You can only use this effect of "Crystal Shark" once per turn. If this card is used for the Xyz Summon of a "Number" monster, it can be treated as a Level 3 or 4 monster.
"If I summon a Number from either monster they also become level 3 or level 4 monsters." Shark added at that before saying, "But right now their Levels are safe at 5 cause now I use them!"
The two glowed flying up to the Overlay Network.
"Another Rank 5?" Yudo asked in shock.
"With these two Level 5 monsters, I build the Overlay Network, and Xyz Summon!" Shark called as the Overlay Network exploded.
"With the Asylum centered around! Splash through to spread chaos! Xyz Summon! Rank 5, come out! Nafil Asylum Heth Knight!"
At that what popped up was a similar ship to Silent Honor ARK except it seemed more advanced.

You can only use this effect of "Nafil Asylum Heth Knight" once per turn.
(ORU: 2)
(New Dueling Theme: Gravity by Tears to Embers)
"What is that?" Yudo asked in shock.
"Something you won't forget. You have plenty of time to think, cause I activate it's ability!" Shark called as Heth Knight takes two units, "By using two Overlay Units, I take 1 Over-Hundred Number, and place it, and one other monster on this card as an Overlay Unit!" (ORU: 2 - 1 - 0)
"Wait it can take one of our monsters?" Amy asked him shocked.
"Precisely!" Shark called before taking a card, "I take Girag's Chaos Number 106: Giant Red Hand of an Overlay Unit, along with Silent Honor ARK as an Overlay Unit!"
An anchor shot grabbing Silent Honor ARK forcing it to be an Overlay Unit with Giant Red Hand.
Heth Knight: (ORU: 0 - 1 - 2)
Yudo and Amy looked stunned seeing that.
"That's all this turn." Shark ends his turn.
Abyss Slash: (ATK: 3400 + 1400 / 2 = 2400)
Shark's Hand: 1/Field: Nafil Asylum Heth Knight (Defense Position/ORU: 2), Number 73: Abyss Splash (Attack Position), Overlay Network (face-up)
Amy 2nd Turn:
"That much, and he hasn't done Seventh One yet..." Yudo trailed off shocked.
Amy clenched her hand before saying, "That's not gonna stop us Yudo. I gotten through a lot to get you back. If I sit back at this point, it would be for nothing."
"Amy..." Yudo trailed off before nodding, "Right!"
"My turn!" Amy drew looking.
"Keep talking cause, I use Heth Knight's ability again!" Shark called as the two Units are used.
Heth Knight: (ORU: 2 - 1 - 0)
"What?" Amy asked shocked.
"It can use that during our turn?" Yudo asked shocked.
"I choose to place in Mizar's Chaos Number 107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon, and your Ragnazero as it's Overlay Units!" The anchor takes Ragnazero forcing it with a three headed golden dragon.
Amy grunted before saying, "Not this time! I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Rank-Up-Magic Arctic Storm!"
Rank-Up-Magic Arctic Storm

(This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.) The Summoned monster is treated as a "Arctic" monster. You can banish this card from your GY: Attach one card from your Hand to 1 WATER Xyz Monster you control as Xyz Material.
"So now before your monster takes it, this card evolves Ragnazero by 1 rank!"
Ragnazero broke out of the chain glowing blue shooting in the Overlay Network.
Heth Knight: (ORU: 0 - 1)
"Ragnafinity is strong, but it isn't enough to beat Shark." Rio pointed out.
"She took Ragnazero before he can use Heth Knight to make her it's Overlay Unit." the glasses haired teen pointed out, "Plus Heth Knight is now unable to use it's ability again."
"Princess of the Coldest Winters! Blow your Breath of the Coldest Wastelands, and then call forth your power from the ice! Rank-Up-Xyz Change! Rank 5, Chaos Number 103: Ranafinity!"
At that Ragnafinity popped up readying.

"Number 103: Ragnazero" must be in your Graveyard to activate and to resolve this effect.

Yudo smiled seeing the monster.
"That was close..." Amy admitted with only 2 cards in her hand. She takes a look at them before calling, "I activate the spell Arctic Medic!"

"So now all monsters lose 100 attack points!" Amy called.
Abyss Splash: (ATK: 2400 - 100 = 2300/DEF: 1400 - 100 = 1300)
Heth Knight: (ATK: 1700 - 100 = 1600/DEF: 2700 - 100 = 2600)
Ragnafinity: (ATK: 2800 - 100 = 2700/DEF: 2400 - 100 = 2300)
"In exchange we gain 400 points for each monster who lost points!" Amy called as they glowed.
(Amy/Yudo: 2600/Hands: (Amy: 1/Yudo: 2))
(Shark: 4400/Hand: 1)
"Then I activate Ragnafinity's ability!" Amy called as Ragnafinity takes it's only Overlay Unit. (ORU: 1 - 0) "By using an Overlay Unit, I pick a monster, and banish it but not before you take damage equal to the difference of it's current, and original points! I pick Heth Knight!"
Ragnafinity charged her scythe getting rid of Heth Knight while Shark grunted. (Shark: 4300/Hand: 1)
"That's amazing Amy." Yudo smiled.
"Not even close to the end! Raganfinity attack Abyss Splash!"
Raganfinity swung her scythe destroying Abyss Splash while Shark stepped back. (Shark: 4000/Hand: 1)
"I place 1 card down, and end my turn." Amy ended her turn.
Amy's Hand: 0/Field with Yudo: Number C103: Ragafinity (Attack Position), One Set Card

"This card takes a Over-Hundred Number from my Extra Deck, or graveyard, and summon it! Then I can Rank it by 1!" Yudo called as the graveyard portal opened, "Come back Masquerade!"
At that Masquerade popped up readying.
Masquerade: (Attack Position)
"Then I rebuild the Overlay Network with Masquerade!"

(ORU: 1)
Carlita smiled seeing that but still looked nervous.
"When this card is summoned, I can destroy a Spell or Trap card on the field! Destroy Step!" Masquerade attacked destroying Overlay Network while Shark watches, "Now Masquerade attack him directly!"
Masquerade fired a blast striking Shark who went flying but landed down on his feet. (Shark: 1000/Hand: 1)
"I set two cards down, and end my turn." Yudo ended his turn.

"Again you three didn't disappoint." Shark said to them before saying, "But I'm afraid this is where things end."
"That can only mean one thing." the curled hair boy smirked.

Shark drew, "My turn draw!" He looked before calling, "And to start off, I activate the spell, Xyz Treasure!"
Xyz Treasure

"Xyz Treasure... I haven't seen that card in a long time." Yudo admitted seeing it.

Hearing that Yudo's eyes widened.
"Now come Chaos Number 103: Ragnafinity, Chaos Number 102: Archfiend Seraph, and Chaos Number 104: Umbral Horror Masquerade!"

"Yudo... what is he..." Amy started nervously.
"CXyz Barian Hope, a monster with really powerful effects and 1000 attack points for every Overlay Unit. The only thing is he can only use two of them since he needs to pay 400 life points." Yudo answered.
"Hey no spoiling!" Shark yelled before saying, "No matter, there is still one more Number missing from this party! I activate Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One!"

"So now Silent Honor ARK rise from Oblivion!" Shark called as Silent Honor ARK reappeared from the graveyard.
Yudo blushed. "Sorry, but I really loved the part where you used it against Yuma. It was just amazing."
"Well now you get to see it for real in your own eyes!" Shark called as Silent Honor ARK entered the Overlay Network.
"Guardian of souls that have yet to mature, become the dark knight and crush the light! Chaos Xyz Change! Appear, Chaos Number 101! Silent Honor DARK!"

"Now for this." Shark said before calling, "Silent Honor DARK use your ability on Ragnafinity!"
Silent Honor DARK moved to make it's ability used which Yudo grunted, "I activate Masquerade's ability! By using an Overlay Unit, it negates that effect, you discard a card, and you lose half your points! Dark Blunder!"
Umbral Horror Masquerade: (ORU: 1 - 0)
Masquerade fired a pink blast striking Shark while a card slipped. (Shark: 0500/Hand: 0)
"In that case Silent Honor DARK attack Masquerade!"
DARK charged in while Masquerade retaliated destroying it while Shark stood grunting. (Shark: 0300/Hand: 0)
"Oh that was why..." Yudo grunted.
"As Silent Honor DARK was destroyed while having a Chaos Overlay Unit, it revives! Return from Oblivion!" At that Silent Honor DARK popped up readying.
Silent Honor DARK: (Attack Position)
"Then Silent Honor DARK's original attack points are added to my Life Points!" Shark added as Silent Honor DARK's trident glowed giving energy to Shark. (Shark: 3100/Hand: 0)
"3100, but if he has to pay 400 life points... he can use seven abilities now!" Amy cried in shock.
"And now here is our true power. The true power of the Seven Emperors!" Shark called raising a card as it glowed a bright red, "I activate the effect of CXyz Barian Hope in my Extra Deck! If there is a Chaos Over-Hundred monster on the field, I can treat all of them on the field as Level 7 monsters to Xyz Summon this card! I Overlay Silent Honor DARK, Archfiend Seraph, Ragnafinity, Umbral Horror Masquerade, Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus, Giant Red Hand, and finally Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon in order to build the ultimate Overlay Network!"
All seven turned into chaos flying up into the Overlay Network as it exploded materializing the monster.
"God of War that embodies Chaos. This is the origin of my dearest wish. Xyz Summon! Gather, power of the Seven Emperors! CXyz Barian Hope!"
What materialized was a large red armored warrior wielding a large spear, and large shield with long black dreadlocks readying with 7 Overlay Units built at the bottom.

(ORU: 7)
"That... it's huge!" Amy cried in shock.
"And the size isn't the only thing. As he said for every Overlay Unit on Barian Hope, it gains 1000 attack points!" Shark called as the Overlay Units powered up Barian Hope.
CXyz Barian Hope: (ATK: 0 + (1000 * 7) = 7000)
Yudo and Amy looked at the monster in awe.
"Now let's begin the hard battle shall we?" Shark asked before calling, "I activate Barian Hope's ability! By using an Overlay Unit, or paying 400 Life Points, I can use the effects of one Overlay Unit on Barian Hope but I can't use it twice in a turn!" Lightning crackled at Shark who grunted. (Shark: 2700/Hand: 0)
An Overlay Unit glowed, "I use the effect of Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon!"
A transparent version of the dragon appeared above Barian Hope at this.
The blonde smirked before calling for Shark, "It negates the effects of all other cards on the field, and returns the game state to what it was at the beginning of the turn!"
"Time Tyrant!" Shark called as Barian Hope raised it's spear as they appear in inverted colors, "In addition your not allowed to use the effects of cards on the field without my permission!"
Yudo grunted, "Not so fast, I activate my face-down, Crystal Mirage!"
Crystal Mirage
Normal Trap Card
When your opponent activates a card or effect while you control a "Crystal" monster, or a "Number" Xyz Monster: Negate the activation, then draw 1 card.
"So now Time Tyrant is negated!" Yudo called as the effect died, "Then I draw a card!" He drew.
"You avoided that but there are still six more to get through!" Shark called as lightning struck him again. (Shark: 2300/Hand: 0) The Overlay Unit glowed as he called, "I use the effect of Barian Hope for Archfiend Seraph!"
Archfiend Seraph appeared above. The glasses teen at this explained, "1 monster on your field not only loses it's special abilities but also it's attack points!"
He then chuckled. "I think I know what's next."
Umbral Horror Masquerade was hit holding his shoulder while Ragnafinity went to assist him.
Umbral Horror Masquerade: (ATK: 3000 - 3000 = 0/Effects Negated)
"Then I use Barian Hope's ability again!" Shark called as the lightning struck him again. (Shark: 1900/Hand: 0) An Overlay Unit glowed as a Ragnafinity appeared above, "This time the effect of Ragnafinity! Rio if you please?"
"Since Umbral Horror Masquerade lost 3000 attack points, you two take 3000 points of damage!" Rio told them.
Barian Hope thrust it's spear only for Amy to call, "Not if I use, Arctic Defense!"
(face-up)
Arctic Defense
Continuous Trap Card
Activate only during a turn you would've taken effect damage: Negate that damage, then note it. Any damage you take less then that damage becomes zero. If a "Arctic" monster, or a "Number" monster you control, destroys an opponent's monster by battle inflict that amount of damage to your opponent. You can only activate this effect once per turn.
"So now the damage goes to 0, and you can't deal us damage that's less then it!" Amy called as a harmless breeze passed.
"That shield won't rescue you!" Shark called as lightning struck him for a forth time. (Shark: 1500/Hand: 0) An Overlay Unit glowed as Giant Red Hand appeared, "I use the effect of Giant Red Hand through Barian Hope!"
Girag grinned seeing that. "It negates the effects of all other cards on the field!"
"What?" Amy asked shocked.
Arctic Defense, and Ragnafinity shivered.
Arctic Defense: (Effects Negated)
Ragnafinity: (Effects Negated)
"Now that shield's gone, I use the effect a sixth time!" Shark groaned as the lightning hit him again. (Shark: 1100/Hand: 0) Another Overlay Unit glowed as Comet Cestus appeared, "Alito tell these two, what happens when you mess with this boxer!"
"Barian Hope automatically KOs your monster!" the curled haired boy, Alito, grinned. "And deals damage equal to it's attack points!"
Barian Hope moved to attack only for Yudo to call, "I use the effect of Crystal Wall in my hand!" He shows a monster in his hand, "As your targeting a number with an effect I can discard this card to change the target of that effect!"
"Not if I use this!" Shark called as the lightning struck him a seventh, and final time, (Shark: 0700/Hand: 0) "Umbral Horror Masquerade will now hinder ya!" Said Number appeared above as Shark called, "Vector, give them a refresher!"
"I'd be happy to, not only will Chaos Xyz Barian Hope negate your card, but it can also send a card in your hand to the graveyard and cut your life points in half!" Vector smirked.
The card Yudo was using vanished as they cried out. (Amy/Yudo: 1300/Hands: (Both: 0))
Barian Hope pierced it's spear through Ragnafinity destroying her before Yudo called, "Sorry but I use the trap, Crystal Barricade!"
Crystal Barricade
Normal Trap Card
If you would take effect damage: Negate that damage, then gain 500 LP. During your End Phase, you can banish card from your GY: Special Summon any number of "Number" or "Crystal" Xyz Monsters from your GY in Defense Position.
"So now Comet Cestus' effect doesn't harm us, and we gain 500 points!" Yudo called as he glowed. (Amy/Yudo: 1800/Hands: (Both: 0)) The blast passed harmlessly which meant, Barian Hope doesn't have anymore attacks to use against them. They survived for now.
"Impressive, but what will you two do now?" Shark questioned. "Otherside from Yuma, and Astral, you two are the only ones to survive Barian Hope in all seven of it's abilities."
Yudo offered Amy a hand to help her up.
"I don't know... probably my best bet is using the Barian Hope we have." Yudo admitted, "He can't use Barian Hope's abilities when it's not his turn."
She nodded standing up while Shark silently ended his turn.
Shark's Hand: 0/Field: CXyz Barian Hope (Attack Position/ATK: 7000/ORU: 7)
Amy 4th Turn:
Amy shakily drew looking widening her eyes before saying, "I use Extra-Foolish Burial."
Extra-Foolish Burial
Normal Spell Card
Pay half your LP; send 1 monster from your Extra Deck to the GY. You can only activate 1 "Extra-Foolish Burial" per turn. You cannot Set Spells/Traps during the turn you activate this card.
She sent a card a card at that ending her turn.
(Amy/Yudo: 0900/Hands: (Both: 0))
Amy's Hand: 0/Field: Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade (Attack Position/ATK: 0/Effects Negated), Arctic Defense (face-up)
Yudo 4th Turn:
Yudo slowly drew looking before looking at Shark, "Shark? In all my life watching you guys, you were probably the best character I ever know. Through your cold personality, you stick by your friends, your allies, your people, and use the cards of those same people to give a future to them. Barian Hope was the coolest monster, I ever seen. Which is why I'm sorry... about the way it's about to be beaten."
Shark raised an eyebrow at that.
"I thought your favorite was him." Yuri mentioned suddenly.
'Vector is one of my favorite characters but not my ultimate.' Yudo explained to him before he raised his arm, "I rebuild the Overlay Network with Umbral Horror Masquerade!"
Similar to earlier Masquerade transformed into chaos flying into the Overlay Network before what rose behind the two was a Barian Hope.
(Attack Position)
CXyz Barian Hope
LIGHT
Rank 7
Warrior/Effect/Xyz
ATK: 0
DEF: 0
3 or more Level 7 monsters
You can also Xyz Summon this card by using 1 monster you control with "Number C101" through "Number C107" in its name as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.) This card gains 1000 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to it. You can target 1 "Number" monster in your Graveyard; until your opponent's next End Phase, this card's name becomes that monster's, and replace this effect with that monster's original effects. You can only use this effect of "CXyz Barian Hope" once per turn.
(ORU: 1)
"Like yours it gains 1000 points for every Overlay Unit.
CXyz Barian Hope: (ATK: 0 + (1000 * 1) = 1000)
"But here's the difference, and why." Yudo added, "It can take the effects of 1 number in the graveyard, and has the same name as that number."
"What?" Shark questioned in shock.
"I choose the effect of the card Amy sent! Silent Honor DARK!"
At that Silent Honor DARK appeared above Yudo's Barian Hope as it glowed.
CXyz Barian Hope: (Name: Number C101: Silent Honor DARK/Gains effects of Number C101: Silent Honor DARK)
"And now I use the ability it gained! It makes your Barian Hope into an Overlay Unit!"
Yudo's Barian Hope attacked Shark's Barian Hope as it transformed from Chaos to a Overlay Unit on Barian Hope.
CXyz Barian Hope: (ORU: 2/ATK: 1000 + 1000 = 2000)
"Not bad." Shark smirked.
"But here is something I don't get..." Yudo voiced his confusion, "In your match with Yuma, and here, you never once used Silent Honor DARK's ability on any monster through Barian Hope. Why didn't you?"
"Think about it Yudo, Cxyz Barian Hope can use its abilities by using one Overlay Unit or paying 400 life points." Sentital told him. "Silent Honor DARK's ability however doesn't require an Overlay Unit. In other words, that's the one ability he couldn't use."
'So he would've summoned Silent Honor ARK instead.' Yudo thought now his confusion cleared off, "But anyway, Barian Hope!"
Yudo's version thrust it's spear on Shark who watched before smiling as he went back to human form.
Amy/Yudo: 0900
Hands (Both: 0)
Field: CXyz Barian Hope (Name: Number C101: Silent Honor DARK/Gains effects of Number C101: Silent Honor DARK/ATK: 2000/ORU: 2), Arctic Defense (face-up)
Shark: 0000
Hand: 0
Field: Nothing
Amy/Yudo wins!
When the duel ended Yudo started to fell forward. Amy gasped catching him as Carlita ran to make sure he was ok. Yudo was okay just really tired.
"Sentital, can you take us back?" Amy asked him.
Said Barian nodded as they meditated returning back to the Duel Sanctuary. Yuma seeing Yudo tired out with a messed up Amy, and a semi-messed up Shark asked, "Whoa, Shark. What exactly happened in there?"
"We dueled, and they managed to beat Barian Hope." he answered.
"Whoa they did?" Yuma asked shocked as a hand takes Carlita's shoulder.
Flinching she turned to see who it was. It was an older girl that has a bright smile with long flowing black hair.
"Big sis..." she whispered before hugging her tightly with tears.
"Whoa." the girl said before holding her close, "It's okay Carlita. I'm here now."
Carlita nodded wiping her eyes before frowning. "I... I have to go."
"Why don't you stay a minute. I want to know what you been up too." her sister said before looking at Yudo, "And is this Yudo, that I heard about?"
Yudo looked at Amy drifting off, "Ames... I'm really tired."
"We should all try and get some rest." Declan mentioned. "We'll need our strength once we head to the Fusion Dimension."
Amy just nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I agree."
Carlita however frowned. "I'm sorry... I need to find him."
With that she ran off on her own.
"Carlita!" her sister called as she frowned, "She went to look for Kite."
"I'll get her." the blonde, Mizar, said to them running after her.
"Mizar, be careful." Rio whispered watching them go.
Ulrich362: Well, the Lancers have met most of what's left of the resistance in the Xyz Dimension... all save one important person.
bopdog111: And Yudo, and Amy dueled against all Seven of the Barian Emperors monsters in one epic match-up.
Ulrich362: True, not everyday you see Barian Hope taking on itself. That said, next up is going to be a... stressful reunion? Wouldn't you agree?
bopdog111: Yeah.
Ulrich362: See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
