Sorry for any mistakes.
Enjoy
PS 12 – The Betrayal
With Team Standard, Reiji was at the front with Reira behind him, Yuzu and Yuya were in the middle and Yuto in the rear a little detached from them. Yuzu had been wanting to ask something to his friend since before.
"Yuya," said Yuzu and the boy turned to look at her, "you like Yuto, Yugo and Yuri, right?"
He took some time to answer.
"Yuzu, have you ever thought about having brothers or sisters?" said Yuya.
She negated with her head.
"Me neither," he said, "…until I met them. I have known them for a little time, but I feel like we're already best friends, maybe even more, kind of like brothers." He had a little smile on his face.
"Well," said Yuzu giving him a smile of her own, "you already look like it if you ask me. Yuto would be the oldest, don't you think?"
"Yeah," Yuya let out a little laugh, "then maybe Yuri, I don't want to think of him as the oldest."
"Yeah," said Yuzu, "I also can't see Yugo as the oldest." She laughed at the mental image.
"Then me as the third one, right?"
"Of course not," she said surprising Yuya, "you would be the little brother."
"Eh?! Why?"
From behind them Yuto had heard the conversation.
I'm sorry Yuya.
Team XYZ had a good pace. That was the team with the farthest location and thanks to Sora's instruction, they had been able to not encounter any students by using halls not frequently used. It also helped that the team had the best members who were experts in quickness and stealth. They needed to be quick as the other teams were counting on them to disable the system to stop all of Academia's duel disks from working.
Team Fusion was the first one to engage in combat. The moment they arrived at the main training room, they found it packed with students and duels started everywhere. Yugo thought it was a relief all his teammates were on his side of the battle; Serena was a menace with fusion summoning and her Lunalight monsters which specialize in multiple attacks; Edo hadn't been Supreme Commander of the XYZ Invasion for nothing, he managed to use his Hero monsters perfectly; Crow, like him, was a Synchro user and even though he didn't have his D-Wheel, he managed to run over every opponent.
Everyone was awesome, but it was certainly the XYZ duelists who were taking the most victories, which was to be expected considering they had been part of the main forces during the war. Yugo saw Kurosaki briefly duel in the Friendship Cup and it was obvious he had been holding himself back. He used his opponent's powerful monsters against them and managed to rank up faster than they could follow. Seeing Kaito duel made Yugo really glad he was on their side because he wasn't a duelist; he was a hunter and Academia was his prey. Yugo himself didn't have that much trouble because he already knew the decks and strategies used by the students. It was one of the first things Yuri taught them when they started the plan and he and Yuto had to spend a lot of time in Academia. His only worry was that when the time came, he was going to be able to do what needed to be done.
Team Standard arrived at the Throne Room to find an Obelisk Force unit protecting the entrance. Yuto and Yuzu decided to stay behind and duel them while Yuya, Reiji and Reira entered the room taking advantage of the distraction. The Obelisk Force made fun of them saying how they turned the traitor Tenjoin Asuka into a card and how they were going to turn them too. Yuzu got really mad at that, but it had the opposite effect as it made her fight with more determination and defeat them almost entirely by herself.
After getting inside the Throne Room, they saw Yuya and Reiji dueling against the Professor. Behind them was Yusho who was taking care of Reira. When the Professor saw Yuzu, he started talking about his plans: ARC Area project and Revival Zero. He was trying to accomplish the unification of the four dimensions into the ARC V Dimension and the revival of his daughter Ray, who had been divided into Yuzu and her other three counterparts, when she defeated a demon duelist called Zarc who had been trying to destroy the world. Like Ray, Zarc had been divided too, with Yuya, Yuto, Yugo and Yuri being his reincarnations and all their dragons being his main monsters. Yuto thought he must had told them all this with the intention of persuading Reiji to join his side or to win more time while his forces captured the girls.
Yuto knew the ARC Machine was ready for Akaba Leo's plan which meant it was also ready for their plan, if only Yuri would hurry up with his part.
Yuri, Gongenzaka and Rin didn't find any guards on their way to the Main Lab. Rin just had to use the Academia duel disk given to her to hack her way in some hallways. Just a little more and they could soon stop the Professor's plan. At the moment, everything Yuri had told them had been true. Even the fact the Main Lab didn't have a single person guarding it. It was a dark room only illuminated by the faint lights being provided by the hundreds of screens and servers which filled up the place.
"Do we have to destroy the entire place?" asked Rin.
"It's not necessary," said Yuri going over to the right side of the room to a desk with what looked like the main computer, "if we destroy this one it should be enough, destroying everything would create a fire inside the building."
"I'll do it," said Gongenzaka.
"No," said Rin, "let me do it."
Gongenzaka didn't insist because he thought Rin wanted to destroy the Professor's plan which had caused her a lot of pain. He and Yuri stayed in the back by the entrance. Rin summoned her ace monster and with a simple command destroyed the main computer. The effect was immediate and all the other machines in the room started to power off one after another. Yuri was looking at his duel disk sending a message to his brothers.
"This will do," he said, "with this all of Academia's duel disks will disable."
That drew the attention of the other two.
"What?" said Gongenzaka with a questioning look, "Our mission was to disable the computer controlling the ARC Machine...?"
"That will not do," said Yuri with an innocent smile, "we need it to work after all."
Rin managed to catch up quicker with the situation.
"You liar!" she shouted, "I knew we shouldn't have trusted you!"
She was going to go after him when he used his duel disk to summon Starving Venemy Dragon. Rin was going to summon her own monster, but her duel disk let out some sparks and turned off.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," said Yuri.
"How?!" said Rin, "Your duel disk shouldn't work too!"
"Why do you have that dragon?!" said Gongenzaka, "You gave it to Yuya."
"You really think we're that stupid to plan all of this and let something like this out of our sight," said Yuri, "we have our own personal duel disks. And this beauty is not Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, this is my real ace monster, Starving Venemy Dragon."
Gongenzaka activated his own duel disk.
…Field Spell Crossover…Run Code PHANTOM…Duel Mode ERROR
His own duel disk released sparks and turned off.
"What?!" said Gongenzaka.
"A virus, of course," said Yuri, "we can't have you Lancers running around trying to stop us, can we?"
Yuri went out and activated the panel outside the room. Bars went down and sealed the two inside the System Room. The image of Starving Venemy Dragon disintegrated.
"You don't have your duel disks," said Yuri, "but you can't be too careful. It's a good thing you didn't start the fire Rin, you would have died of smoke inhalation. Well, good-bye, I have things to do."
With that Yuri took off running somewhere.
"You bastard!" shouted Rin, "Let us out!"
"I can't believe he was a traitor all along," said Gongenzaka.
"Well, I can!" she said, "He was the one who kidnapped me, the worst kind of person. We need to get out of here and warn the others!"
"Yeah, who knows what else he lied about," he said back.
DONE, ON MY WAY
Yugo knew time's up and needed to move too. The three students he was fighting suddenly stopped to check out their duel disks which by now must have turned off. Around him the same thing was happening to the others who had different expressions of surprise and astonishment. All members of Team Fusion got together after that. The next part of the plan was to reunite with Team Standard.
"Team XYZ was fast," said Edo whose duel disk didn't work now, along with Serena's, "their building was almost at the edge of the school grounds."
"You have never seen Sora and Tsukikage running— "
"What the hell is going on?!" said Crow interrupting Kurosaki.
His duel disk let out sparks and turned off.
"Mine too!" said Kaito.
Shun looked at his own only for a message to appear.
…Run Code PHANTOM…Duel Mode ERROR
It went through the same thing as the others and the screen was dead.
"What the hell?!" said Kurosaki.
"Shining wings! Deliver divine speed and illuminate heaven and earth! Level 7 Clear Wing Fast Dragon!" said Yugo from behind them.
A beautiful monster with crystal wings and a black and white tail appeared. The rest of the team was looking at Yugo with questioning eyes, but before they could say anything, Yugo shouted:
"Clear Wing, attack!"
The dragon flew over them and the movement of its wings let out a gust of wind that pushed everyone, including Academia's students, to one side of the room; the side opposite of the exit. Yugo clicked something in his duel disk and bars fell down from the ceiling, locking up everyone in cages.
"Yugo!" shouted Serena, "What are you doing?!"
"Why do you have that monster?" asked Kurosaki, "You gave it to Yuya."
"I think it's obvious," said Kaito, "he has betrayed us!"
"You work for Academia?!" asked Crow with a horrified expression.
"What?" Of course not!" said Yugo, "We don't like what Academia has been doing, with our plan we'll stop it, but we can't let you guys interfere… you wouldn't like it."
Yugo took out a card.
"I activate the magic card D-Wheel!" a motorcycle appeared with the help of real solid vision. Yugo went over it, gave them all one last look and accelerated in the direction of the exit.
"Wait! Come back!" shouted Crow, "I don't understand, he's a traitor?"
"He was talking in plural," said Kaito, "he must have accomplices."
"The map!" suddenly shouted Kurosaki, "When that bastard from fusion transferred us the map, he must have sent some kind of virus too! We have been played!" In his anger, he gave a punch to the cage.
"It doesn't make any sense," said Edo, "from what we know the Professor wants Serena and the other girls, right? Why don't take her now?"
"I don't know," said Serena, "but I don't plan to stay here and find out, we need to get out!"
In the other side of the school, Team XYZ stopped their running because of an exclamation from Sora; his duel disk let out sparks and turned off.
"What happened?" said Sawatari, "Aren't we supposed to be the ones to do that?"
Tsukikage looked at his own duel disk trying to activate it.
…Field Spell Crossover…Run Code PHANTOM…Duel Mode ERROR
It also let out sparks and it was dead. The others did the same with identical results. Sora and Tsukikage managed to understand what was going on quicker than the other two and started running back in the direction they came from. Ruri and Sawatari followed them.
"What's going on?" asked Ruri.
"The System Room is the other way!" said Sawatari.
"This is a distraction," said Tsukikage, "we have been betrayed."
"More like we have been make fools!" said Sora, "Yuri must have told us false information to separate us. It was probably him who disabled the system."
"What about Tsukikage's and mine?" asked Sawatari.
"The map!" said Ruri in understanding, "During the transfer he must have done something!"
I have a bad feeling, thought Sora.
The duel between Leo against Reiji and Yuya was coming to an end. For a moment, Yuya almost lost himself to Zarc's influence after he brought to the field the four dimensional dragons, but everyone's words managed to bring him back. The Professor wasn't going to let himself be captured and when he tried to make a run for it before the duel finished, Yusho used a special card to immobilize him, attaching him to the base of a column. The duel was cancelled because of the use of that illegal card. Reiji was walking to his father to take his duel disk when Yuto received a message.
DONE, ON MY WAY
Perfect timing, thought Yuto.
"Yuya, good work!" Yuto brought his hands up for a high five. Yuya turned to look at him with a smile, he went in his direction to return the high five when Yuto put his hands back down.
"I'm sorry," he said.
"Eh?"
Things seemed to happen in slow motion. Yuto punched Yuya in the stomach with enough force to make him lose conscious. He put him on the floor and turned to look at the others.
"Yuto, what are you doing?" asked Yuzu who couldn't comprehend what just happened.
Reiji was faster and brought his duel disk to attack him when it let out sparks and turned off.
…Field Spell Crossover…Run Code PHANTOM…Duel Mode ERROR
"What?" said Reiji under his breath. Yuzu and Reira's duel disk went through the same fate. Yuto didn't waste anymore time and summoned Dark Anthelion Dragon because Yusho still had his own duel disk.
"Attack!" Using its powerful wings Yusho, Reiji, Reira and Yuzu were pushed to a wall. With a simple command to his duel disk bars raised, and they were trap in a cage. This was a special cage that interrupted the system in duel disks, meaning there was nothing they could do to get out.
"How's that possible?" asked the Professor, "Only Academia duel disks from some special students can control the security systems of the school."
"Because I gave them special duel disks which we later modified with our own system," said the voice of Yuri from the entrance of the Throne Room.
"You are working together," said Reiji, knowing that he had been betrayed, all of them had been.
"Where are Gongenzaka and Rin?!" asked Yuzu.
Yuri and Yuto ignored them.
"Yugo's still not here," said Yuri, he then looked at Yuya, "you punched him, right? He'll have a killer stomachache when he wakes up."
"It was the easiest way," said Yuto who gave a gentle caress to Yuya's head.
"Hey! Don't touch him!" said Yuzu, but once again she was ignored.
Whatever else she was about to say, was interrupted by the sound of a motorcycle coming through the entrance.
"Finally," said Yuri.
"Seal the room, Yuri" said Yuto.
While Yuri did something with his duel disk, Yugo got down the D-Wheel. Yuto went to the back of the throne and took out a laptop from a hidden panel.
"Why is that there?" asked Leo.
"Yugo! You're in this too?" said Yuzu.
None of the boys answered them.
"Here," said Yuto as he gave the laptop to Yugo, "we have some minutes to start before Team XYZ notices something is amiss."
"I'll be quick!" said Yugo.
"You rode here in your D-Wheel and still took a lot of time," said Yuri who just now sealed the entrance with the same special bars as the cages. They didn't want anyone interrupting them.
"Shut up! Plant bastard!" said Yugo.
Yuri was going to fight with him when Yuto interrupted:
"Don't distract him, we need to be quick," said Yuto, "keep watch."
Yuri closed his mouth and turned to look at the entrance and their prisoners.
"Please!" said Yuzu, "What are you doing?!"
"What are you planning?" asked Yusho.
Once again, all questions were met with silence.
With the laptop, Yugo initiated the activation of the ARC Machine. Beforehand they had infiltrated the main computer under the Throne Room to control the machine remotely. Yugo was overwriting the system with their own so the moment it started, it opened a portal to search for their brother instead of uniting all dimensions. It took some minutes until eventually it was done and with just a click, from behind the throne four tubes raised up, but only one opened.
"Ok, everything's ready," said Yugo.
Yuto carried Yuya on his back to the open tube. Beside him were his brothers, Yugo on the right and Yuri on the left. He carefully laid him there in a standing position and the tube automatically closed. This reminded the brothers of a similar scene from long ago back in their own world, however, this time they would all be together.
"What are you planning to do with Yuya?!" shouted Yuzu, she was really scared for her friend. Yusho was equally worried for his son.
Yugo went over to the laptop and started the ARC Machine. With a supply of life energy of 123%, it wasn't going to take that long to work. From the glass behind the throne, they saw the machine lightning up with the concentration of life energy. If everything went according to plan, a portal should open soon enough.
From outside, the boys and all the people imprisoned heard the sound of many people running for the Throne Room. The Lancers were more skilled than they thought. Rin and Gongenzaka were the first ones to arrive with Team XYZ following close behind. However, the entrance was blocked with the special bars that prevented the use of duel disks, and these ones from the Throne Room were even tougher. No one was going to enter the room any time soon.
"Don't touch them!" shouted Sora from the back, knowing that the bars were electrified.
"When I get my hands on you, you son of a—!" Rin stopped in front of the entrance and stopped talking when she saw Yugo free and inside the room, "Yu—Yugo?" How…? What's going on? Thought Rin.
"Rin! How did you get out—?" Yugo was the first one to say something to them.
"He's a traitor!" said Kurosaki interrupting him. Just now Team Fusion arrived too, "They planned this all along."
"He attacked us with his dragon and left us in a cage," said Kaito.
"Yuto?" said Ruri who just now got in the front, "Yuto, what are you doing?"
Kaito and Kurosaki were surprised at hearing their friend's name and ran beside Ruri. Certainly, in the Throne Room, Team Standard minus Yuto and Yuya, were in a cage with Sakaki Yusho while the Professor was bound to a column. The only free people were Yuri, Yugo and Yuto, as Yuya was inside a strange machine which was releasing a green light.
"Yuto… you're a part of this?" asked a dumbfounded Kurosaki. It can't be… he can't be working with them, thought Shun.
"You work for Academia!" shouted Kaito. He didn't want to believe it, but the proof was right in front of him.
"This doesn't make any sense!" said Crow, "What's going on?!"
"You said Yuri kidnapped Rin," said Serena directly to Yugo, "why are you working together?"
"And why is Yuya in that strange machine?!" said Edo.
"Indeed," said Gongenzaka, "Let Yuya go!"
"You all work together?!" shouted Sawatari, "Since when?!"
Everyone was going through different forms of surprise because how was it possible for the three of them to be working together. The brothers were still not answering any of their questions.
"They plan to revive Zarc and kill us all," said Reiji and that was the comment that managed to get a reaction.
"No!" shouted Yugo silencing everyone, "We're not planning to bring back that guy! And we're not working for Academia!"
"Yugo!" said Yuri.
"Then what are you planning?" said Yuzu with tears in her eyes, "Because I don't understand what's going on!"
"Yuto!" shouted Ruri who also had tears in her eyes.
"Fine, we'll tell you," said Yuto turning to look back at everyone. Until then and since he put Yuya in the machine, he had only been looking at his brother.
"We are?!" said Yugo surprised.
"Are you sure about this?" said Yuri who exchanged a look with his older brother and understood, "Fine, you know this people better than me."
"What we're going to tell you is the truth," Yuto had captured the attention of everyone, "we're not the Yuri, Yugo and Yuto you guys think of. My name is Sakaki Yuto and I'm from another universe."
Author notes
I regret nothing!
It's canon Yuto can punch someone to unconsciousness. He did it to Kurosaki.
Their ace monsters had some special appearances.
Can you use the ARC Machine to open a portel to another universe...? Now you can. I imagine they used the essence/universe footprint of their monsters (Dark Anthelion, Clear Wing Fast and Starving Venemy) to track their brother, after all, mangaYuya was the last person to have them back in their universe
Are they smart enough to do it? If Yusho can creat World Illusion, they can. My personal headcanon from the manga is Yugo and Yuya are way book smarter than they look. Yuto and Yuri are smart in a different way
Will it work? Next chapter we'll see, they can still back down ;)
Hopefully people will continue reading after this xD
