Heartland Streets

Kaze had just defeated Cat and Caswell again before his duel disk blinked a couple of times signaling that everything had come to an end. "Looks like I've done my job." He walked away from them while inserting a card into his D-pad. "Shark and your other friends are captured."

The Dark Magician user vanished into blue particles. Caswell fell to his knees and punched the ground angered by his inability to do anything while Cat stood by dejected.

Abandoned Parking Lot

Vega heard beeping and soon felt a familiar energy that he just couldn't place. It was comforting though. He slowly opened his eyes as the image of Draco appeared only to be replaced by Lance.

"Dad…" Vega stated before looking over at Rio. "Mom…"

Both Lance and Rio looked from the kid to each other, blushed a crimson red, and immediately looked away from each other.

The kid was now awake and gave a smile much like Rio's as he hugged Lance tightly. "Dad!"

Lance had no idea how to react to what was going on. Here was a kid that looked like his and Rio's. More accurately Marin and Draco. He was calling them dad and mom. There was also his duel gazer still going off and the fact that his friends were in trouble. He just froze.

Fortunately, Rio was more in control as this all seemed familiar to her meaning it was easier to get over the shock. "Would you mind letting go of Lance and getting off. I'm sorry, but I don't think we know your name."

The duel gazer stopped ringing.

The boy jumped down and stood before them. "My name is Vega."

Rio smiled. "That's a nice name. Now Vega, I'm sorry to say but Lance nor I have ever met you before." She felt a genuine warmth at being called mom, but she also knew that if this kid was lost, they should return him. "Where are you from? Where are your parents?"

Vega looked at them before putting his hands behind his head. "I don't know where I come from." He looked at the sky. "I remember stars, water, and lots of blue. That's it. As for parents… When I look at you two, I see my parents."

Lance shook his head. "He looks five, but this kid isn't exactly acting it." He looked at the kid. "Vega, do you not remember much, or…"

"I remember stars and lots of water… a black dragon with red eyes… Oh, I kind of remember my uncle." Vega pointed to Rio. "Mom's brother. Dark blue eyes, pale skin, and purple hair like tentacles hanging down." He rubbed his chin. "Not much else though."

Lance and Rio looked at one another.

"He described Shark… just not the clothes." Lance stated.

Rio nodded. "To my knowledge, there aren't many people that look like Shark in the world. What do we do Lance?"

"I don't know Rio." Lance shook his head. "I mean, the kid literally beamed down from the sky. Maybe my grandpa would have answers since he's dealt with strangeness before." He sighed. "Look, as important as this is, I got bad news. My pendant is telling me that everyone else was captured. Nelson, Hart, Lulu, Organization, and Shark."

"Shark's in trouble!" Rio jumped to her feet. "Where is he?"

Lance got to his feet. "I know where he is." His duel gazer went off and he saw that it was Yuma. "I guess Yuma's been calling to try and explain things to us." He looked at Vega before looking at Rio. "I don't know what we're supposed to do here."

Rio looked from Vega to Lance conflicted before sighing. "Go rescue Shark and make sure he comes back safely." Vega suddenly froze in place as the thought of Lance going anywhere without Rio terrified him for a reason he just couldn't put to words. "I'll take care of…"

"No!" Vega screamed causing both middle schoolers to look at the now shaking boy. "No… mom and dad can't separate… b-bad things happen… they happen when you're not together."

The ringing stopped once more. Rio immediately wanted to comfort Vega, but Lance beat her to it. "Whoa kid. It's alright. I've faced many challenges in the past without Rio and came out fine."

Vega shook his head as tears began to form in his eyes. "No, dad can't go anywhere without mom. At the very least, he needs uncle, but uncle is captured."

Lance frowned before looking back at a sad Rio. "What do I do? I don't like seeing either of them like this, but it's not like I can ignore those in danger."

Tears fell down Vega's cheeks as he wrapped his arms around Lance. "Please… let me come with you. That way mom will be there if you need her. Please… don't g-go alone dad."

Lance stood up and rubbed the back of his head. "Rio, can you keep Vega safe."

Rio didn't like the thought of putting Vega in danger, but the alternative would leave her and Lance out of the rescue attempt. At least this way they'd be there to get her brother back. Not to mention, Yuma and Tori would be left hanging.

Rio nodded. "I suppose that's the only thing we can do considering we can't let Yuma take on this enemy himself. Especially since they've already defeated many of us."

Lance picked Vega up as his duel gazer started ring again. "Hey, it's okay Vega. Look, I'm not going anywhere without Rio, and you'll make sure of it by coming with us."

Vega sniffled and dried his tears, "You promise you won't ever do anything dangerous without mommy… or at least uncle?"

Lance nodded. "I promise I won't do anything dangerous without Rio or Shark." Vega smiled and buried his head in the multi-deck user's shirt.

Lance picked up his duel gazer to see Yuma. "Lance! I finally got through. Look, Hart was…"

Lance interrupted him. "I know Yuma. He wasn't the only one taken. Organization, Nelson, and Shark were also taken, and as we speak, Lulu is being taken as well."

"The others were taken as well!" Yuma shouted. "What about Rio?"

"She's fine man.": Lance stated. "I got her with me."

Tori butted in. "Yuma stay on task! If they've all been taken, then we got to go rescue them. Where are they Lance?" She then noticed the kid latched onto him. "Hey, who's the kid?"

"A kid!" Yuma looked at Vega before looking at Tori. "Now who's not staying on task?"

"Shut it Yuma!" Tori shouted.

Lance interrupted them. "Look, meet Rio and I at the school. We'll head to their location, and you'll get your explanation."

"Before you go, you should know I ran into Kite." Yuma stated. "Shay and he are looking for their siblings. I agreed to contact them if we found anything."

Lance sighed. "It is their siblings in danger, so they have a right to know. Anyways, see you when we meet up." He hung up and looked at Rio. "Stay extra vigilant around those two. I have no idea if Vega has power, but it's better safe than sorry."

Rio understood a need to rescue their siblings, but she would certainly be keeping a close eye on their apparent, temporary, allies. After all, if they were willing to steal pendants for answers, power, or whatever, there's no telling if they'd try to take Vega for the same reasons.

Rio nodded determined. "I won't let those two touch him."

Lance nodded and moved Vega onto his back. "Alright kid, hold on because we got to move."

Rooftop

Kite landed on the roof and met up with Shay. "Not having any luck?"

Shay grit his teeth, crossed his arms, and angrily said, "Does it look like I have Hart or Lulu with me?" He turned on Kite shouting. "Well Kite!?"

Kite held up his hands clearly worried about their siblings, but recognizing the fact that Shay was worse off than him. How could Shay not be? His body wasn't stable when it came to the Photon Transformation.

"It's okay Shay." Kite assured. "We'll find them."

Shay closed his eyes and sighed. "I'm sorry Kite." He rubbed his eyes. "I'm not mad at you or Nistro. I'm…"

Kite walked up to him and put a hand on his back. "I get it Shay. I know how stressed everything has made you."

Shay opened his eyes. "Still, I shouldn't act this way. It's not going to help us get them back."

Kite got a call and answered it to see Yuma. "Kite, Lance knows where Hart and Lulu are."

Tori stepped in and started messing with the device sending a picture of a castle looking, abandoned museum over water. "This looks exactly like a place people dressed like them would hold up."

Outside the Museum

The boy stood crouched behind the gate as Declan crossed over a path that had risen above the water. Once Declan entered, he noticed the path receding back into the depths, and immediately booked it across to continue the pursuit.

The guy just made it across, jumped inside as the path submerged, and the doors closed. "Hold on Lulu." He started down the hallway. "I'm coming."

Museum

Shark was sat on the ground, struggling against the chains which restricted him, as he was surrounded by the unconscious bodies of Hart, Organization, and Nelson. Vetrix stood with his four children above them.

Quatro laughed. "How the mighty have fallen, huh Shark?"

Shark attempted to get to his feet. "Can it Quatro!" He fell to his butt but continued to try and break the chains. "Stop acting like you were the one to bring me down. The fact is you need outside help to capture me because you and your family are second rate duelist."

"Why you…" Quatro began angrily.

Quinton stuck out his arm in front of his brother. "Calm yourself. He's merely trying to antagonize you into making a mistake. A mistake I will not allow."

Dos nodded. "If he could have done anything, he'd have broken out himself."

Vetrix chuckled and looked at the hallway. "Seems as though the ritual can begin now that the final piece we could get has arrived."

Declan entered pushing Lulu inside.

"He also brought a friend along." Trey stated.

Declan looked behind him as the boy stepped into the open. "I did not even notice he was there, but that boy… He looks like Yuto. Like the one my counterpart observed in his dimension. This could be troubling if events repeat themselves."

The boy stepped further into the room with a serious expression. "So, you're the group that kidnapped my friend." He looked at the hostages. "As well as so many others. I can't stand for that, so who wants to duel me first?"

Shark managed to stand this time and glowed a crimson red as his anger at Vetrix and his family reached a new level. "Stay out of this newcomer!"

A pillar of strong, crimson energy shot through the roof, phased through it, and into the sky.

Barian World

A figure, about the size of Vega, stood in a crimson landscape with various crystals around her. Her skin was chalk-white, her hair was long and green, and her eyes were dark blue. Her attire was a simple, peach dress with a black rope around her waist, and brown sandals.

The girl was sitting and looking at the sky above when she faintly felt a familiar energy. "Nasch." The little girl jumped to her feet. "Nasch, you're alive!" Her crimson energy flared up in response. "You're currently in trouble." She cupped her hands. "Please, borrow my power."

Museum

The other bodies around Shark, Organization, Nelson, Lulu, and Hart, began to glow the same crimson glow. This glow seeped into the air as a crimson glow from somewhere else joined in. An orb formed above before smashing into Shark.

Shark heard a voice that sounded eerily familiar yelling out to him. "Nasch, you're alive!"

Shark now glowed brightly around Shark forcing anyone awake to avert their eyes. When Vetrix, his family, Declan, and the boy could look around, they noticed that they, along with Shark, were the only ones left in the room. Shark's deck and extra deck were glowing.

"Where's Lulu?" The boy asked in shock. "Those other captives?"

Vetrix was enraged. "What did you do!?"

Shark stepped forward. "I have no idea what that was nor where they went." He smiled. "That said, anything that ruins your day, is music to my ears. Now, who wants first crack at me?"

The boy ran over to Shark. "You really have no idea what that was?"

He was worried about Lulu, but he wouldn't let that cloud his mind. He wouldn't, in anyway, help Vetrix and his family either. He could tell they had kidnapped Lulu first. If Shark did it on purpose, the worst he'd do was leave and confront him later.

Shark looked at him. "I already said I have no idea what just happened." He stepped forward. "Now, leave me to deal with these people and get looking for whatever person among them you're after."

Before anything more could be done, an alarm went off and a screen turned on displaying Yuma, Lance, Rio, Tori, and Vega outside. In mere seconds, the group was joined by Kite, Shay, and Orbital.

"How did they find us so fast?" Quinton asked.

Quatro studied Lance and noticed his glowing pendant. "It has to be that Lance Hogan and his magic pendant."

"Just what we need." Trey stated. "First father's plan goes out the window and now more people to deal with."

Vetrix extended two, red whips catching the boy and Shark unaware. "Children go deal with them. I will handle these two."

Dos looked at Declan. "What of him?"

Declan observed everything before him and answered before Vetrix could. "Your plan's failed Vetrix. While it would have been nice to rid this much Barian power, it's clear your group couldn't deliver. Especially since my own men had to aid you. We will not do so again."

"So, you're just going to leave us then." Quatro stated.

"The Lancer's goals are too big to risk ourselves any more than we have." Declan inserted a spell card into his duel disk. "Your plans are not the end all be all."

He then vanished into blue particles.

Quatro shook his head and immediately smirked. "Unlike Declan, I won't be rude." He started to walk off. "Time to give them a proper greeting and a lovely amount of fan service."

Quinton followed. "Don't push your luck Quatro."

"What, you think they're powerful duelist?" Quatro asked.

Dos replied. "Quinton and I know firsthand just how tough Shay and Kite are, brother." She joined her brothers. "They are not duelist to play with."

She stared a few seconds to long at Lance catching Trey's attention. "What of Lance Hogan, sister?" He followed them. "I recall you were quite intent on handling him yourself."

"You will learn soon enough dear brother." Dos replied. "Just know I'm with our family."

Trey spared another glance at the monitor as his three siblings left the room.

"Run along Trey." Vetrix stated.

"Yes father." Trey stated.

He ran after them.

Vetrix then turned to his two opponents, but more specifically, focused on Shark. "You say you have no idea what just happened Shark, but I'll determine if that's true once we get this little game out of the way."

"Yeah right you clown." Shark declared. "Your sons haven't been all that impressive, and I'm betting you'll follow suit."

The boy said, "Since it seems I'm locked in, I might as well take this opportunity to defeat you for taking so many people." He looked at Shark. "Since we're dueling together, name's Yuto."

Shark grunted. "Shark."

Outside the Museum, A Little Earlier…

Lance, with Vega on his back, Rio, Yuma, Tori, and Astral stared out at the museum.

"I hope Hart's alright." Tori stated.

Astral, while worried for Hart, was still trying to wrap his head around Vega who could in fact see him. "So, this boy is Rio and Lance's son? How does that work?"

Astral was completely clueless on the whole affair and wished to understand.

"Astral, that's the 5th time you asked." Lance declared. "I keep telling you it's too complicated. Ask Yuma to explain it."

"Why do you keep dragging me in this?" Yuma asked. "I'm still trying to wrap my head around why a 5-year-old looks so much like you and Rio." He then looked at Vega. "I'm also starting to question his taste when he calls Shark his uncle, but not me."

Vega looked at Yuma before sticking his tongue out at him.

"Why I…" Yuma began.

Rio stepped in between them with an icy aura. "Touch one hair on his head, and you will pay Tsukumo."

Yuma stepped back nervously chuckling before sitting on the ground and drawing in the dirt. "I just think it's unfair is all."

Tori sighed. "Why am I stuck with these people?"

At that moment, Kite and Shay joined the large group.

"Good, you're both here." Lance looked at the museum. "Hart and Lulu are in that museum as well as our friends."

"How can you be sure of that?" Kite asked a bit threateningly.

Lance stood his ground. "I just told you our friends are in there to." He looked at his glowing pendant. "This told me they were in there, but if you want to fly away, be my guest. Our group will rescue them ourselves."

"Don't you talk…" Orbital began trying to berate Lance.

Now, Lance had no problem with Shay and Kite. Yeah, they were enemies, but he could respect their reasons for wanting Numbers. Considering there were reports of their victims recovering, and no new victims, it was safe to assume they'd changed. He could not say the same for Orbital.

Lance shouted. "Can it you bucket of bolts before I go tossing you into the lake. Before you go spouting off about some form change, I'll just use my pendant to do it. This thing repelled a real monster's attack, so I'm sure it can do something to you."

Orbital ducked behind Shay. "How rude."

"You're the one always being rude." Rio stated. "That's what my brother and Lance say, and I trust them." She glared at the Number Hunters. "That's more than I can say for either of you."

"We don't need to stand here and take this when our siblings are in danger." Shay stated.

"News flash genius, my brother's in there as well, yet we didn't start snapping at you the moment you landed." Rio stated. "We only did it in response."

Vega spoke up addressing the hunters. "Yeah, you two are real jerks when my mom and dad are only trying to help you."

Yuma looked at Vega hopefully. "Your uncle Yuma to, right?"

Vega stuck out his tongue again causing the Syllable Duelist's head to fall.

Kite turned away from them. "This is a waste of time."

Shay joined him. "A real joke."

Tori came to stand in between the group. "That does it! You need to realize that there is more than your pride and/or our stance as enemies on the line here." She pointed at the museum. "Right now, there are people that need help.

Those inside that building need us, we need the Number Hunters, and the Number Hunters need us. That's why you all need to grow up or so help me I will find a shed to lock you all inside until you learn to make nice."

Rio and Lance stared down Shay and Kite. Their attention was soon drawn to the rising pathway.

Lance sighed, "So, are we doing this or does Tori need that shed?"

The multi-deck user gave Vega to Rio who let him onto her back. Kite and Shay looked at one another before nodding.

"Very well." Kite stated. "We will do this together."

The entire group ran across the platform.

Heartland Academy

Organization awoke with a start and bolted to a sitting position as crimson energy flowed through him. After the energy dissipated, one of his eyes flashed red while the other blue before returning to normal.

He put a hand on his head as his eyes adjusted to the dark. "Huh, I'm free." He felt the energy still lingering in the air. "Nasch… Very dormant… His energy must have resonated with mine…" He looked around noticing the unconscious Hart, Lulu, and Nelson. "… and theirs."

Organization stood up only to hear a familiar voice. "Zach."

He turned to the building as Lloyd, looking slightly injured, walked out from the shadows. Of course, this was due to his duel with Vector. With Lloyd showing himself, Organization could sense the traitor's energy in the air.

Lloyd chuckled happily and ran over to his friend. "Zach, I can't believe you're really standing here, and Nelson's here to. Did you save him? What the heck happened? Where have you been all this time?"

Organization stared once more at the people on the ground before glancing at his friend and putting his hood up. "I may not know exactly what happened, but I have been given a second chance. A golden opportunity. I'm not wasting it. It's time to take control of this competition."

Lloyd was starting to worry. "Zach, are you okay?" He looked at the three, unconscious children. "What did happen to all of you?"

"Things are fine Lloyd." Organization removed a card from his deck box. "I believe this card will answer all your questions."

He showed Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force and Lloyd was enveloped by crimson energy.

Organization then turned around and created a portal. "Now, who do you serve old friend?"

Lloyd replied, "I serve Barian World."

Organization nodded as a crimson and white portal was created. "Leave your brother but grab the other two. I'm forming a plan, and you three just became part of it."

"Yes sir." Lloyd picked up Hart and Lulu.

"Let's go." Organization stated.

He walked into the portal followed by Hart and Lulu leaving the unconscious Nelson behind.

Museum Entrance

Lance, Rio, Vega, Yuma, Tori, Orbital, Kite, and Shay entered the building only for the doors to close behind them.

"Quite the large group we have here, huh sister?" Trey asked.

The group looked up spotting two people, cloaked in shadow, standing on the shoulders of a statue.

Dos replied, "Indeed brother, but I believe the infamous Number Hunters are our top concern." Lance froze in place as that voice was one of a few he could never forget. "The rest are nothing but a bunch of middle schoolers."

Lance stepped forward. "Tailia…"

He looked up at the woman. She may look different, but the face and eyes, while a different color, were a dead giveaway. There was no mistaking her as anyone else but his long-lost sister. Many emotions raged within Lance, but two were ultimately the ones at conflict.

Overjoy and rage. The multi-deck user was over the moon at seeing his sister but enraged that she had kidnapped his friends. Sure, most would probably try to excuse what she'd done, but it was clear as day where she currently stood.

This fact caused rage to win out in the end. "Talia, what the hell are you doing! Mother, father, grandfather, and I… we all grieved for your absence. In the end, it turns out you were joining up with a group that's okay with stealing middle schoolers and children."

Yuma, Tori, and Rio were shocked that the woman up there was his sister, Talia, while also saddened that this seemed to be causing Lance such grief. Vega was saddened as well, but also confused because he had no idea who this was.

Kite and Shay were keeping a level head as they could tell Lance had no idea what this woman, his sister, had been doing. They were more focused on finding their siblings and didn't have much interest in Lance's problems. On that note…

"We get it." Shay stated. "This is some big moment between the two of you, but Kite and I are here for a purpose." He stepped forward. "What have you done with our siblings Victoria?"

"Victoria?" Lance questioned before looking at her. "Is that what you've been going by Talia?"

Trey stared at his sister concerned, but she seemed stable as a rock in the face of all of this. When she jumped down to their level, he joined her.

Naturally, Dos ignored Lance. "Relax Kite and Shay. No harm has come to Hart, Lulu, Nelson. Organization, or Shark."

"As it stands now, they've suddenly vanished." Trey added. "Something Shark did because he and this other boy, Yuto, are now dueling our father as we speak. He's the only person remaining from the group we took."

"Yuto!?" Shay thought surprised. "So, he's back in the city. In that case, it makes sense he'd come here if he somehow caught wind of Lulu being in trouble."

"We can't particularly trust you on that." Kite stated.

Shay nodded. "If you don't mind, we will just breeze past you two.

"We may not have your siblings anymore, but we won't pass up the chance to take your Numbers." Dos stated. "We know you all have them."

They both shot out their red whips, but Lance acted fast tackling Shay out of the way to take his place.

"It makes no difference to us what order you wish to lose your numbers." Dos stated. "That said, the rest of you are free to move on. Our brothers are waiting, and father will likely take care of Shark and Yuto in due time."

Trey nodded. "Our brothers will be most accommodating."

"Very well." Kite stated. "Shay, go on ahead while I clean up this mess."

Shay nodded. "Be careful Kite."

Orbital said, "I will remain with Master Kite, Master Shay."

Shay nodded and ran off.

Lance focused intensely on the two opponents in front of him with most of that focus being placed on Dos. "Yuma take the others and aid Shay. It appears I have a sister to defeat and drag home."

Trey spoke up. "You aren't taking my sister anywhere."

"Can it." Lance stated firmly. "You kidnapped a bunch of people, so your opinion doesn't really matter right now. Plus, she's my sister, not yours."

"I'm no sister of yours." Dos stated. "Also, don't tell my brother to can it."

Kite sighed. "Great, I'm stuck in the middle of some bizarre family squabble. Why did this kid have to go jumping in? I'd much rather duel with Shay. The two of us could clean this mess up with ease."

Rio was conflicted. On one hand, her brother sounded like he was free, but how could she trust these people? For all she knew, they were lying because they didn't want to deal with such a large group.

On the other hand, Vega had made it clear that he wanted her or Shark with Lance at times like this. For whatever reason, things like this seemed to terrify the boy, and she doubted he even knows the reason why given his lack of memory.

Vega looked at Rio. "Please mom… don't leave dad."

Well, it's not like she could leave Lance with two enemies. Just because Kite and Shay were helping them, and Tori wanted them to work together, doesn't mean she forgot what they did to both Tori and Shark. Not to mention the countless other souls they'd taken.

She nodded. "Don't worry, I promise I won't leave Lance." She shouted. "You hear that Lance? Vega and I are staying so win."

Zack focused on Dos. "I intend on it."

Dos gazed at Rio and Vega with seemingly mild interest. "Dad? Mom? She turned her attention to Lance. "Geez Lance, I know Mom found her love in…" She shook her head. "No, I'm being ridiculous. There's no way my 15-year-old brother could have a 5-year-old kid."

Trey noticed this. "Are you feeling alright sister?"

She gave Trey a reassuring smile. "I am fine dear brother. Now, I believe we have stood around long enough. Let's get down to business and claim their Numbers."

Trey was unsure of himself. He didn't want to doubt his sister, but how could he not when her original little brother stood before them. He knew she loved him, but that thought just couldn't dissuade this feeling.

Despite this, Trey nodded. "Right."

Down the Hall

Shay, Yuma, and Tori ran together with Shay kicking in doors every chance he got. When he found nothing, the group would continue sprinting. True, Dos and Trey had said Lulu and Hart weren't here, but Shay wouldn't be satisfied until he knew that for a fact.

Yuma was equally as motivated to find them since he felt this was all his fault. He gave up Hart without knowing who he was giving the young boy to. If he'd only stayed with Lulu, she'd be fine as well.

Tori was simply worried for the two siblings. Suddenly, the group was stopped as twin doors at the end of the hall were flung open. Quatro and Quinton walked out together blocking the only path forward.

"Well, if it isn't the infamous Shay." Quatro stated. "It's an honor to meet you even though your brother's been delayed."

"Quatro." Yuma declared. "If Lance hadn't told me, I'd still suspect you had something to do with this mess on account of Trey being at the entrance."

Shay was staring intently at Quinton. "You mean you know these individuals?"

"Just Trey and Quatro in most cases." Yuma stated.

Quatro laughed. "Oh, this is quite amusing. Come boy, let us duel. I'll gladly make your condition match what I'd have done to that boy."

Yuma tightened his fist.

Astral appeared. "Do not give into your anger Yuma. If you duel for revenge, you will never beat them."

Shay spoke up. "Alright, spill it. What have you done with Hart and Lulu!?" He looked at Quatro. "I don't want to hear a word from you." He turned his attention to Quinton. "Where are they?"

"Our siblings told you the truth." Quinton calmly replied. "Hart and Lulu vanished shortly after Shark was overwhelmed by crimson energy. They are no longer here." Both he and Quatro shot out their red whips ensnaring Yuma and Shay. "That said, we will be taking your Numbers."

"I see." Astral stated. "Another tag team duel."

Quatro laughed. "If you want to do anything, you'll have to get through us." He looked at Tori. "Considering this is the only way forward, you will have to hope they win." He smiled maliciously. "Please, be my guest if you wish to try."

Yuma spoke up before Tori could do anything. "Don't worry Tori. Shay and I will handle these two, and we'll continue on together." He smiled. "I have full faith in Shark to beat Vetrix himself."

Tori nodded. "If you believe in Shark, then I do to. Now, focus on your duel."

"You got it Tori." Yuma stated. "Bring it on."

"I was already planning on crushing them both." Shay stated firmly as he activated Photon Mode.
