Ulrich362: Well we're back again guys.
bopdog111: To a filler before Yu can duel North Academy.
Ulrich362: Exactly.
bopdog111: So Ulrich what is this about?
Ulrich362: A few unexpected visitors to Duel Academy will be arriving, and one of them will be testing someone.
bopdog111: So let's see.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V or Persona but we own the OCs!
Yu, Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko, Kanji, Rise, Teddie, Naoto, Jaden, Syrus, Alexis, Bastion, Chumley, and Zane were all in the arena while Bastion and Kanji were having a friendly match.
"Alright Kanji, I now activate Bonding - D2O!" Bastion called, "By tributing the two Duoterions on my field with Oxygeddon, I can summon either a Water Dragon, or Water Dragon Cluster from my hand, graveyard, or Deck!"
"Alright." Kanji nodded with a grin.
"So now Water Dragon rise!" Bastion called as his ace appeared before him roaring.
"Heh, taking down this dragon might be tough." Kanji admitted.
"And even more since DNA Transplant, and Tyrant's Temper are out." Bastion told him, "And with this your monsters points automatically become zero!"
"Actually that's not true, don't forget that thanks to my Pink Thread Woven Dragon isn't affected by your trap cards." Kanji reminded him.
"Maybe so but it's still less then Water Dragon." Bastion added, "Water Dragon attack Woven Dragon!"
Water Dragon fired a blast.
"I play the trap Doubled Stitches!" Kanji smirked. "This doubles one Woven monster's attack points at the cost of destroying it during the end phase."
Woven Dragon: (ATK: 1600 * 2 = 3200)
"Say what?" Bastion asked shocked.
Woven Dragon charged, and destroyed Water Dragon earning Kanji the victory.
"Well, maybe you weren't exaggerating their skill." mentioned a male voice. "That wasn't a bad move."
Hearing that they turned to see.
Seto Kaiba, and Mitsuru Kirijo were both standing at the entrance to the dueling field.
"Seto Kaiba?" Jaden asked shocked.
"Mit-chan!" Teddie cried.
"I'm glad to see you're all taking care of yourselves." Mitsuru smiled while meeting Yu's eye.
"Kaiba what brings you here?" Zane asked Kaiba calmly.
"I came to check on the preparations for the School Duel, and to see for myself these students Mitsuru recommended." Kaiba answered.
"Our rep is ready Kaiba." Jaden grinned gesturing to Yu, "Yu here sure is a tough guy!"
"I'm not surprised." Mitsuru chuckled.
"Been through a lot here Misturu." Yosuke told her, "Though there some struggles, and others but we managed to get this far."
Mitsuru nodded calmly. "I'm sure you'll pull through."
"S-So your Mitsuru Kirijo." Syrus said looked amazed, "The President of the Kirijo Group."
"That's right." Mitsuru nodded. "Who are you?"
"S-Syrus Truesdale ma'am." Syrus stammered.
Rise chuckled linking his arm to her's, "My special sweetheart."
"I see, well you must be quite the gentleman." Mitsuru smiled.
"Zane Truesdale, you aren't representing Duel Academy?" Kaiba asked.
"Chancellor Sheppard got word from North Academy is picking a Freshman to represent them." Zane answered. "So Sheppard decided it would be fair if a freshman represents Duel Academy."
"I see, and you approve the choice?" Kaiba inquired.
"Yes I did sir. I was fine with it." Zane answered.
"Is something wrong?" Yu asked.
Kaiba turned to him.
"Should I not represent Duel Academy?" Yu asked.
"No it's fine. A freshman representing Duel Academy has never happened before so I'm interested to see what this could lead too." Kaiba answered.
"Well, why don't you test one of them yourself?" Mitsuru suggested.
"Hm?" Kaiba asked turning to her.
"It could help pass the time before your meeting, and I must admit I'm curious to see this game in person myself." Mitsuru mention calmly.
Kaiba nodded as he looked over before looking at Chie, "What do you say?"
Chie's eyes widened. "Yeah um... sorry who are you again?"
"Seto Kaiba, president of Kaibacorp, and the one who owns this island." Kaiba answered.
Chie's eyes widened.
"Wow... you really want to have a match with me?" she asked.
"Indeed. Mitsuru told me that your one of the strongest people to be recommended by her." Kaiba nodded.
"Wow, well I hope I live up to her recommendations." Chie admitted.
"Let's find out." Kaiba said walking to the arena.
Chie took her place opposite him as the others took their seats.
"So be honest, how doomed is Chie?" Yosuke asked.
"Kaiba is a tough duelist being equal to Yugi only, and is able to wield the really rare Blue-Eyes White Dragons!" Jaden grinned, "There are only 3 of them in the world!"
"That might make things tough." Yu noted thoughtfully.
"Duel." Chie and Kaiba called together.

Chie stared at the monster in awe. "Wow!"
"Behold Team. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon." Mitsuru smiled.
Rise's eyes widened in shock. "A third Persona?"
"What?" Jaden asked shocked.
"I'm absolutely certain of it, just like those other two monsters." Rise told him. "That's a Persona, and a really strong one."
"Well actually it along with Dark Magician, and Dark Magician Girl are real people in long Egyptian History." Mitsuru explained. "They hold great magic to serve their Pharaoh, and such."
"That's amazing." Yukiko admitted.
"Now Blue-Eyes attack! White Lightning!" Kaiba called as Blue-Eyes charged a white ray firing it.
The blast hit Chie's monster only for it to brace itself as it survived.
"I suspected it can't fall easily." Kaiba smirked.
"Once per turn it can't be destroyed in battle." Chie explained only to frown. 'Then again, how am I supposed to beat that dragon?'
"I'll place 2 cards down, and it's your move." Kaiba ended.
Chie: 4000
Kaiba: 4000

Normal Spell Card
If you control "Blue-Eyes White Dragon": Destroy all monsters your opponent controls. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" cannot attack the turn you activate this card.
"What does that do?" Chie asked nervously.
"While Blue-Eyes is on the field all monsters on your field are destroyed." Kaiba smirked.
Chie's eyes widened as her monsters all shattered leaving her defenseless.
"This is bad, Chie's wide open." Yosuke mentioned nervously.
"It's okay though." Jaden told them, "Blue-Eyes can't attack the turn Burst Stream is used."
"That's true, but Kaiba hasn't summoned this turn." Bastion reminded him.
"Does Chie add a Kung-Fu Girl, or Dragon's Trial Ritual to her hand when Jyun is destroyed?" Yukiko recalled.
"Yeah, she does." Yu nodded as Chie added the card.
"Ritual huh? Same boat." Kaiba smirked before saying, "I'll summon, Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands!"

"It's your turn." Kaiba ended.
Chie: 2100
Kaiba: 4000

"Hold on there. I activate the trap, Dragon's Rage!" Kaiba called.
Dragon's Rage
Continuous Trap Card
Dragon-Type monsters you control inflict piercing Battle Damage when they attack a Defense Position monster.
"As long as this card is out if a Dragon on my field attacks your monster in defense you still take damage!" Kaiba explained.
"Wait, but that means Tomoe won't be able to protect me." Chie realized nervously as she ended her move.
Kaiba 3rd Turn:
Kaiba drew as he looked, "I activate Thunder Dragon's ability in my hand! By discarding this card from my hand, I can add two copies of Thunder Dragon to my hand!"
He added the two copies.

"And now Blue-Eyes attack Tomoe! White Lightning!" Kaiba called as Blue-Eyes fired a blast.
Tomoe tried to endure the blast only to be immediately overwhelmed and destroyed.
(Chie: 1100)
Chie suddenly screamed out in agony as Tomoe appeared in a blue glow.
"Chie-san!" Teddie cried worried.
"When a Persona is destroyed in battle that happens." Yosuke told Mitsuru, "And if their banished also it does worse damage."
The Duel Disk that Bastion modified for Chie started to numb the pain she's feeling. Mitsuru frowned hearing that Chie collapsed to her hands and knees catching her breath.
"When Tomoe is destroyed I can summon Chariot Persona Suzuka Gongen in her place." Chie stated as her Persona evolved and took a defensive stance in front of her.

Chie drew her card before wincing. "I pay half my life points to activate Haraedo-no-Okami's special ability Agneyastra! This destroys every card on your field!"
(Chie: 0150)
Kaiba watched as the his three monsters, and Dragon's Rage shattered.
"Alright, Haraedo-no-Okami attack him directly!" Chie declared.
The monster didn't move.
"Huh?" Chie asked in confusion.
"It can't attack when that is used." Yosuke told her.
Chie frowned. "Oh yeah, that's right. At least those dragons are gone, so I can end my move knowing I'm safe."
Kaiba 4th Turn:
"Don't be to sure." Kaiba said.
"What do you mean?" Chie asked nervously.

"A Ritual?" Chie asked nervously glancing at the Ritual Spell she added to her own hand earlier.
"With this I can banish or tribute any monster to summon a Chaos Ritual Monster! I banish Blue-Eyes from the graveyard!" Kaiba called as the monster vanished, "Mighty Virtue Dragon!

Chie stared at the new dragon in horror.
"4000!" Jaden cried.
Chie started trembling in fear seeing the dragon.
"Your turn." Kaiba told her closing his eyes.
"Huh?" Chie asked in confusion.
"You look like your about to collapse." Kaiba told her.
Chie frowned as Kaiba's dragon and her Persona vanished.
Chie: 0150 (Surrendered)
Kaiba: 4000
Kaiba wins the duel!
Kaiba at that turned to Mitsuru, "They do have potential. Just needs practice."
Yosuke immediately jumped down to Kaiba and glared at him before running to Chie and helping her walk off the arena.
"Would you have attacked her?" Yu questioned.
"I would had I not noticed it would do more terrible harm." Kaiba told him.
Yu frowned. "Destroying Haraedo-no-Okami would have killed her."
"I suspected." Kaiba nodded at that.
"We'll be here for a bit longer, but I'd like to speak with the eight of you later Narukami." Mitsuru mentioned.
Yu nodded on that.
Later in Chancellor Sheppard's office...
Kaiba was waiting for Sheppard. Soon he walked in widening his eyes, "Oh Mr. Kaiba! What can I do for you?"
"I came to discuss the upcoming School Duel." Kaiba told him. "From what I saw Duel Academy will likely lose this year."
"What makes you say that sir?" Sheppard asked curiously sitting down at his desk.
"One of the students Mitsuru recommended had a match with me. If one of them is representing this school as they are now they have no chance of winning." Kaiba answered calmly.
"Don't worry sir we had a battle royal involving one of them sometime ago, and he had a win." Sheppard told him.
Kaiba closed his eyes hearing that. "I see, and more importantly what about those three?"
"The Sacred Beasts sir?" Sheppard asked.
"Yes, them." Kaiba nodded.
"Nothing about them or the Shadow Riders have acted up yet." Sheppard answered, "But I have a feeling that soon things will begin."
Kaiba nodded. "I agree. He'll make his move soon. Though... that's not the only reason I'm here."
Sheppard looked up waiting for what it is.
"Something's happening on this island, and I intend to find out." Kaiba told him.
"What do you mean?" Sheppard asked confused.
Kaiba frowned. "I'm not sure, but I'll know soon enough."
Meanwhile in Yu and Teddie's room...
Mitsuru and the Investigation Team except Chie and Yosuke had gathered.
"How's Aigis, and the others?" Rise smiled to Mitsuru.
"Everyone's doing well for now, but things may not stay that way." Mitsuru frowned.
"Whatever it was Rise found hasn't been released yet." Kanji told her, "Though we did encounter several Shadows couple of times."
"I see." Mitsuru frowned. "Be cautious. Yamagishi's Persona can already detect immense power unlike nearly anything we've encountered."
They nodded on that.
"Mitsuru. Is it possible for it to be more then 1 way to unlock a Persona?" Yukiko asked her.
"There are. Ours were forcibly unlocked using our Evokers while you faced and accepted the parts of yourselves that formed your shadows."
"And besides those?" Rise asked her.
"Theoretically, why?" Mitsuru inquired.
"After our first Shadow Incident, and a little mix up from breaking the rules accidentally Sheppard had allowed us, Bastion, Zane, Alexis, Syrus, and Jaden to be alone to head to the TV Realm." Teddie answered.
"We explained everything to them, and they told us some history on Duel Monsters." Naoto added, "Jaden told us they'll help us since they can use their cards to fight the Shadows since we can with our Personas but we told him it wouldn't do any good."
"He's a stubborn guy just to say. He said he thinks that he, and the others can get Personas by another way, and are willing to risks their lives to save everyone." Kanji finished crossing his arms.
"I see, well considering what Narukami told me it is possible... all that's needed is a catalyst to awaken their potential." Mitsuru noted.
"What kind of 'catalyst'?" Yukiko asked her.
"It could be anything." Mitsuru answered. "I'll be in contact if anything happens."
They nodded on that.
Ulrich362: Well, short but a bit more information. And Unfortunately Chie nearly died again.
bopdog111: Despite Bastion's efforts to modify their Duel Disks.
Ulrich362: Well it helped... just not quite enough and she's in better shape than after the Shadow Scientist.
bopdog111: Well next up is Yu's match against North Academy.
Ulrich362: True, along with a pleasant surprise for the students.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
