Here we are with Chapter 2 of the Synchro Arc. Things are about to get a lot more intense since Yuya has not made a good impression on Security.
Let's see how things turn out this time.
Chapter 02: The Elite Officers. Valor and Wisdom
Commons Area – Alleyway
Yuya was hiding in an alley and was trying to call his friends.
"Hi, I'm not able to answer right now, but if you leave a message, I'll get back to you when I can." Yuzu's voicemail message spoke.
"Hey, it's me. Just want to let you know I've made a good impression on Security. Try to lay low for a while before finding allies. Security is everywhere, be careful." Yuya left a message.
Yuya tried another number. "I, the man Gongenzaka, am busy with strengthening my skills! I will call back when my training is over!" Gongenzaka's voicemail message answered. Yuya repeated the same message to Gongenzaka.
"Come on, guys. Why aren't you answering?" Yuya wondered. "Don't tell me Reiji's transportation card didn't work."
Yuya only kept getting voicemail messages and sighed. He looked down to the rose that was pinned on his shirt. "That girl, Aki. She looked like a Tops member but those people harassed her. She mentioned that I have the same powers as hers, what was she talking about?"
Yuya then felt sleepy. "I'm so tired. Maybe a bit of sleep will help." Yuya closed his eyes and let sleep take him over.
Security Headquarters
Morning had come and the officers of Security were working frantically due to last night's Riding Duel.
Roget was researching the Duel between Yuya and Duel Chaser 227, he was currently studying the Pendulum Cards. "So, by using these scales, you can summon multiple high-level monsters without releasing…and these Pendulum cards have two effects depending where they are set. If I have to guess base on the color of the card, when in the Pendulum Zone, they are treated like Magic Cards, but they don't require the cost of Speed World Neo Speed Counters." Roget analyzed.
He leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms. "There's more to these Pendulum cards, I just know it. I'll have to monitor any Duel that Yuya Sakaki participates in to learn more."
Just then alarms went off throughout the office. "Report." Roget spoke.
"Sir, we have two massive energy spikes coming from different sides of the Commons Area. And the energy is similar to the Pendulum that the suspect yesterday used in the Riding Duel against Duel Chaser 227!" A worker reported.
"Similar, huh?" Roget closed his eyes. "Send the coordinates to the Elite Officers! Have other Security Officers seal all exits within a 3-mile radius."
"Yes sir!"
Commons Area – Main Street
A bright flash of light appeared in the empty street and appearing was Yuzu, Rin, Serena and Ruri.
"So, this is your home, Rin?" Yuzu asked.
"Yeah, the Synchro Dimension." Rin answered. "This is the Commons Area, where everyone struggles to survive for just one day."
"Just like the Resistance." Ruri recalled her hometown. She then gasped as something was wrong. "Wait, where are the others?"
"Don't worry, Ruri, we'll find the others." Serena assured her comrade.
Rin looked around. "I know this area. The orphanage where Yugo and I live is close by. I know a shortcut to—"
Sirens blared out and a Security car stopped right in front of the girls.
Commons Area - Scrapyard
A bright flash of light appeared in a scrapyard and appearing was Sawatari, Gongenzaka, Shun and Dennis.
"Man, traveling dimensions is really uncomfortable." Sawatari rolled his shoulders.
"So, this is the Synchro Dimension." Dennis looked around. "A city on top of another city. Guess this must be the Commons Area Rin was talking about. Wait, where is she anyway?"
"Where's Ruri?!" Shun noticed that his sister wasn't here.
"Yuzu and Serena aren't here either." Gongenzaka noticed.
"Great, just great! I swear if it wasn't for this binding contract, I would've gone with Yuya!" Sawatari complained.
"I think we all would have, but let's face it, we're not strong enough to beat Reiji." Dennis admitted.
"You might not." Shun spoke harshly.
"Kurosaki, Dennis is an ally! You should not speak that way!" Gongenzaka scolded. "Besides, I thought you have forgiven him!"
"Not fully. If he wants my full forgiveness, he needs to pull more than his fair share around here." Shun admitted.
"It's fine, Gon-chan. I'll earn his forgiveness." Dennis said.
"Don't call me that." Gongenzaka said.
"Anyway, where should we go first, this place is huge?" Sawatari walked forward only to jump back when a Gate Blocker appeared. "What the hell?!"
More Gate Blockers appeared and surrounded the boys. "What is this?!" Gongenzaka looked surprised.
A Security D-Wheel leaped over the Gate Blockers and landed a fair distance from the group. "Director, I've arrived at the sight, sending you live feed." The man sent Roget a video of his point of view.
"You boys don't seem like you're from around here. Care to explain who you are?" The man took off his helmet to reveal black hair, prominent eyebrows and scar on the left side of his face.
"Isn't it courteous to introduce yourself first before asking questions?" Sawatari glared.
"Hm…fair point, kid. Very well. I am Tetsu Ushio, Elite Officer of Security." Ushio introduced himself.
"Security!" Gongenzaka's eyes widened.
"Great, the one group that we don't want to see." Sawatari complained.
"You misunderstand boys. All Security wants to do is to keep law and order. If you aren't dangerous individuals, then just take off your Duel Disks and hand them to me." Ushio held his hand out.
Shun stomped his foot on the ground hard and activated his Duel Disk. "We don't have time to deal with this nonsense! We'll get out of here by force!"
"Wait, Kurosaki!" Gongenzaka protested.
"There's no stopping him. Might as well join him." Dennis activated his Duel Disk.
"Dennis, you too!" Gongenzaka turned to Entermage User with exasperation.
"Well, I'm not standing around doing nothing." Sawatari activated his Duel Disk. "Besides, Gongenzaka, don't you want to find Yuya?"
"Yuya. Isn't that the suspect we're chasing?" Ushio thought. "Director…"
"I heard. Win and take them into custody." Roget answered.
"Understood." Ushio nodded and activated his Duel Disk.
"You have a point." Gongenzaka admitted that finding Yuya was important, since he was for sure, alone in this dimension. "Very well. I'm in!" Gongenzaka activated his Duel Disk.
"Duel!" Sawatari, Gongenzaka, Shun, Dennis and Ushio declared.
Commons Area – Main Street
Inside the police car was a woman with blue hair and gold eyes. She was wearing a white blouse under a gray-blue jacket that ends in the front abdomen above a brown belt, but falls past her white skirt in the back. Her outfit is also accompanied by brown heels and blue dangle earrings.
"This is Officer Mikage Sagiri, I have arrived at the source of the energy spike and see four individuals. What are you orders, Director?" Mikage asked as she eyed Yuzu, Serena, Rin and Ruri.
"Bring them in for questioning. I have other officers doing the same at the other location." Roget answered.
"Understood." Mikage got out of her vehicle and put on her Duel Disk. "You four are coming with me for questioning."
"But we didn't do anything!" Yuzu protested.
"Don't bother, Yuzu." Rin activated her Duel Disk. "They won't listen to a word you say. Remember, Security discriminates against Commons."
Serena activated her Duel Disk next. "We don't have time to waste here anyway. Let's take her out quickly and find the others!"
"Guess we have no other choice." Ruri activated hers.
"N-No way…" Yuzu was reluctant but the others did have a point. She activated her Duel Disk.
"Duel!" Yuzu, Serena, Rin, Ruri and Mikage declared.
Lancers (Boys) vs Ushio
"Field Magic: Dimension Gates!" The Lancers' Duel Disk produced the six gates around the field.
"What's this?" Ushio looked at his Duel Disk. "Synchro and Pendulum…but what are these other ones?"
"Ushio, just Duel the way you normally do. I'll handle the analyzes of this Field Magic." Roget responded. "Your partner, Mikage, has also started a Duel in her area. Show them why you two are the best."
"Understood." Ushio said. "We'll go with the Battle Royal Rules! No one is allowed to attack until everyone has a first turn!"
"That's fine with us." Sawatari said.
"Hurry up so I can finish you off!" Kurosaki shouted.
"Someone's cranky." Ushio muttered.

Dennis LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Shun LP: 4000, Hand: 5
"My turn! Draw!" Ushio drew his card. "I summon Valor Core (DEF: 0, LV: 1) in Defense Position!" A small machine core monster appeared. "I set one card and end my turn."
"Huh? I thought he would start with a Synchro." Sawatari was confused.
Ushio LP: 4000, Hand: 4
Sawatari LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Gongenzaka LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Dennis LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Shun LP: 4000, Hand: 5
"My turn! Draw!" Shun drew his card. "From my hand, I summon Raid Raptors – Vanishing Lanius (ATK: 1300, LV: 4)!" Shun summoned his green falcon.
"During the turn I successfully summon it, I can Special Summon one more Vanishing Lanius from my hand! However, this Retrofit Lanius (ATK: 800, LV: 4) can treat itself as being a copy of a Raid Raptor on the field. I Special Summon Retrofit Lanius, treating it as Vanishing Lanius!" Shun summoned a small six-winged machine falcon.
"In addition, Retrofit Lanius can be treated as two Xyz Materials for an Xyz Summon. I Overlay my Level 4 Vanishing Lanius and Retrofit Lanius!" The two monsters turned into purple lights and entered the spacelike vortex.
"Obscured falcon, raise your sharpened talons in front of adversity, spread your wings of rebellion! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 4! Raid Raptors - Rise Falcon (ATK: 100, RNK: 4, OVU: 2)!" Shun summoned his ace monster.
"Xyz Summon?" Ushio questioned.
"I activate the Continuous Magic: Raptor's Intercept Form! Once during my opponent's turn, this card allows me, when an Xyz Summoned Raid Raptor is attacked, to swap my monster's Attack and Defense Points during Damage Calculation!" Shun revealed.
"And your monster as 2000 Defense Points, I see…" Ushio observed the field.
"I set two cards and end my turn!" Shun finished.

"My turn! Draw!" Gongenzaka went next. "I summon Superheavy Samurai Kagebo-C (ATK: 800, LV: 3)!" Gongenzaka summoned his flute monster.
"When Kagebo-C is Normal Summoned, I can release it to Special Summon a Superheavy Samurai monster from my hand!" Kagebo-C disappeared. "Come forth! Superheavy Samurai Big Ben-K (DEF: 3500, LV: 8)!" Gongenzaka summoned his first ace monster.
"Next, if I have no Magic or Trap cards in my Graveyard, by sending one Superheavy Samurai monster in my hand to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon the Tuner Monster, Superheavy Samurai Horaga-E (ATK: 300, LV: 2)!" Gongenzaka horn playing Tuner appeared.
"I'm Tuning my Level 8 Superheavy Samurai Big Ben-K with my Level 2 Horaga-E!" Horaga-E blew his horn and turned into to rings and Big Ben-K went through them and became eight stars.
"Raging deity, in unison with the soul of a thousand blades, come forth in a spiraling wave! Synchro Summon! Now come before us, Level 10! Superheavy Kojin Susano-O (DEF: 3800, LV: 10)!" Gongenzaka summoned his first Synchro Monster.
"I end my turn!" Gongenzaka crossed his arms.

Sawatari LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Gongenzaka LP: 4000, Hand: 2
Dennis LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Shun LP: 4000, Hand: 1
"Then, it's my turn! Draw!" Dennis drew his card. "I summon Entermage Bubble Gardna (ATK: 800, LV: 4, PS: 2)! A female magician releasing bubbles appeared.
"When an Entermage Monster is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon this monster from my hand! I Special Summon Entermage Filmsy Slimmer (ATK: 100, LV: 4, PS: 3)!" A magician whose body was made out of film appeared.
"Next, I activate the Magic Card: Fusion!" Dennis revealed the card.
"Fusion…" Ushio's eyes narrowed. Roget's eyes widened when he saw that card.
"You bastard! You're still using that method!" Shun got angry.
"Why are you so angry?" Sawatari asked. "Yuya, Yuzu and Serena use that method but you don't lose it against them."
"They're not the ones who started the invasion!" Shun growled.
"You said it yourself that you knew what I was feeling!" Dennis got mad. "I thought that made us friends!"
"If that is true then you should've destroyed your Fusion cards!" Shun shouted.
"I'm not destroying my own cards!" Dennis argued.
"Hey, could you two quit arguing and get on with the Duel?" Ushio was getting impatient.
"With Fusion, I fuse Entermage Bubble Gardna and Flimsy Slimmer!" Both the Entermages entered the spiraling vortex.
"Ephemeral protector, melt into the escape artist who knows no plights, and become a new witch who can race through the heavens! Fusion Summon! Appear! Level 7! Entermage Trapeze Force Witch (ATK: 2400, LV: 7)!" Dennis summoned his Fusion Monster.
"I set one card and end my turn!" Dennis finished.

Shun LP: 4000, Hand: 1
"And the best is for last! My turn! Draw!" Sawatari drew his card. "Using the Scale 2 Abyss Actor – Sassy Rookie and the Scale 9 Abyss Actor – Understudy, I set the Pendulum Scale!" Sawatari set his scale. Sassy Rookie appeared along with a fiend actor holding a script.
"With this, I can simultaneously summon monsters from Levels 3 to 8! The stage is set! Now let the spotlights of the heavens shine down on the dark underworld! Pendulum Summon! Come forth!" The portal opened and two monsters appeared.
"Abyss Actor – Devil Heel (ATK: 3000, LV: 8, PS: 1)! And Abyss Actor – Big Star (ATK: 2500, LV: 7, PS: 3)!" Appearing was Devil Heel and Big Star.
"Pendulum Summon, the same as Yuya Sakaki." Ushio said.
"You know Yuya?!" Gongenzaka asked.
"Not personally, but he's made an impression on Security." Ushio said. "If you know who he is then you must be his allies, meaning I have to bring you in."
"Not gonna happen!" Sawatari shouted. "I activate the Continuous Magic: Abyss Prop – Wild Wagon!" A wagon pulled by two dark horses appeared and both of Sawatari's monsters hopped on it.
"This card allows me to select one Abyss Actor on my field and it can't be destroyed by battle and is unaffected by my opponent's card effects during a Battle Phase!" Sawatari pointed out. "I end my turn!"
Ushio LP: 4000, Hand: 4
Sawatari LP: 4000, Hand: 1
Gongenzaka LP: 4000, Hand: 2
Dennis LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Shun LP: 4000, Hand: 1
"I have to admit, that's an impressive lineup." Ushio pointed out. "However, even with those different summon methods, they're no match for my Valor Deck!"
"Valor Deck?" Gongenzaka questioned.
"I'll show you it's power right now! My turn! Draw!" Ushio drew his card. "I activate my Trap Card: Twin Vortex! This card allows me to destroy one monster on my field and one monster on the opponent's field!"
"You're destroying your own monster!" Shun exclaimed.
"I destroy Valor Core and…Susano-O!" Both Ushio's and Gongenzaka's monsters were destroyed.
"Damn it…my Superheavy Samurai Soul Fire Armor and Makarugaeshi can only work during the Battle Phase!" Gongenzaka cursed.
"Next, I activate Valor Core's monster effect! When it is destroyed via a card effect, I can Special Summon from my hand, deck or Graveyard these monsters! Machine Emperor Valor Infinity (ATK: 0, LV: 1)! Valor Top (ATK: 500, LV: 1)! Valor Attack (ATK: 1200, LV: 1)! Valor Guard (DEF: 1200, LV: 1)! And Valor Carrier (ATK: ATK: 800, LV: 1)!" Five monsters appeared on Ushio's field.
"Five monsters at once!" Sawatari was shocked.
"That's not all of it! Combine together and form the emperor of tremendous courage! Machine Emperor Valor (ATK: 2500, LV: 1)!" The five parts combined together and created a red machine monster with a large sword and a shield with a blade at the end.
"Battle! Machine Emperor Valor, attack Rise Falcon!" Valor charged towards Shun's monster.
"I activate my Trap—" Shun was gonna play his trap.
"Useless! Valor Carrier prevents my opponent from activating Magic or Trap Cards, during the Battle Phase!" Ushio revealed.
"What?!" Shun gasped. Valor stabbed Rise Falcon and Shun took damage.
Shun LP: 4000→2600
"Kurosaki!" Dennis shouted in worry.
"Shut up! I'm fine!" Shun brushed Dennis off.
"Valor Infinity's effect activates! When it destroys a monster in battle, the destroyed monster becomes an Equip Card and it gains that monster's Attack Points!" A portal opened to the Graveyard and Valor shot out energy rope that caught Rise Falcon and absorbed it into itself.
Machine Emperor Valor (ATK: 2500→2600)
"Also, thanks to Valor Attack's effect, when Valor is equipped with a monster, it can attack again!" Ushio revealed.
"Another attack!" Gongenzaka's eyes widened.
"Attack Trapeze Force Witch!" Valor charged again.
"Trapeze Force Witch's effect activates! When an Entermage monster battles an opponent's monster, that monster loses 600 Attack Points!" Dennis revealed. Trapeze Force Witch unleashed her magic on the emperor.
"Valor Top's effect activates! Once per turn, when an effect targets Machine Emperor Valor, that effect is negated!" Valor sliced through Trapeze Force Witch's magic and destroyed her.
Dennis LP: 4000→3800
"And now Trapeze Force Witch is equipped to Machine Emperor Valor!" Valor gained more power as it absorbed Force Witch
Valor (ATK: 2600→4800)
"4800 Attack Points!" Sawatari's eyes widened.
"And thanks to Valor Attack's effect, I can attack once more!" Ushio said.
"No, it's fine. He won't be able to absorb my monster thanks to my Continuous Magic. And even if he did, that effect only works on monsters going to the Graveyard, meaning my monsters won't get absorbed and he won't get additional attacks." Sawatari thought.
"Machine Emperor Valor! Direct Attack!" Ushio pointed at Gongenzaka.
"What?! He's not going after my monsters!" Sawatari's eyes widened.
"You should've surrendered quietly!" Valor charged and struck Gongenzaka, blowing him away.
Gongenzaka LP: 4000→0
"Gongenzaka!" Sawatari shouted.
Ushio snapped his fingers and the Gate Blocker Walls behind the Lancers disappeared, revealing other officers. "Take him away!"
"Yes sir!" Three officers went to the fallen Gongenzaka. They ripped his Duel Disk off his arm and handcuffed him behind his back.
"You will be joining him soon!" Ushio said.
"But you used up all your attacks!" Sawatari pointed out.
"And we move into the Main Phase 2. From my hand, I activate the Magic Card: Valor Burst! When I have Valor on my field, by sending all the monsters it absorbed to the Graveyard, I can destroy all monsters on the field and my opponents take damage equal to their combined Attack Points!" Ushio revealed.
"Wild Wagon only works during the Battle Phase!" Sawatari's eyes widened.
"Damn it…my set card is useless without a Raid Raptor on the field!" Shun cursed.
"There's nothing I can do!" Dennis closed his eyes in frustration.
"Go! Valor! Bring these criminals to justice!" Valor unleashed Dennis and Shun's monsters like bombs and they destroyed Devil Heel and Big Star and Shun, Dennis and Sawatari were blown away.
Sawatari LP: 4000→0
Dennis LP: 3800→0
Shun LP: 2600→0
Winner: Tetsu Ushio
The remaining Gate Blockers disappeared and the officers behind them ran towards the defeated Lancers and handcuffed them.
"You think this will stop me!" Shun kicked some officers to the ground.
"Oh man…" Ushio pulled out his taser gun and fired at Shun, making him fall over.
"Let me go! You have nothing to charge me with!" Sawatari struggled.
"Shut up and get in there!" An officer threw Sawatari in the truck.
"Why you, when I get out of here—" Sawatari was silenced as they threw Dennis into him.
"Heave ho!" Three officers tossed Gongenzaka in there.
"Here's the last of the trash." Shun was thrown in and he was still knocked out.
"Mission accomplished, Director." Ushio reported.
"Well done, as expected of my Elite Officer." Roget smiled. "Now let's see how your partner is doing."
Lancers (Girls) vs Mikage
"Field Magic: Dimension Gates." The six gates appeared around the Duel area. Mikage looked at them with curiosity before turning to the girls.
"We will Duel using Battle Royal rules! No one can attack the first turn!" Mikage said. "Fair enough?"
"That's fine." Serena agreed.
"We need to be careful." Rin said. "These Security Officers use Goyo monsters, they have effects that allow them to take control of the enemy's monsters."
"So, we just need to protect our monsters from their effects. Got it." Ruri nodded.
"I'm still not sure about this." Yuzu had a bad feeling.

Rin LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Ruri LP: 4000, Hand: 5
"My turn! Draw!" Mikage drew her card. "I set a monster in Defense Position!" Mikage set a monster. "I end my turn!"
Mikage LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Yuzu LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Serena LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Rin LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Ruri LP: 4000, Hand: 5
"What? Just a set monster?" Rin was surprised. Normally Security would Synchro Summon on the first turn.
"Don't overthink it. Let's just set up our front! My turn! Draw!" Serena drew her card. "I activate the Magic Card: Fusion!"
"Fusion." Mikage perked up.
"From my hand, I fuse Moonlight Queen Lion and Moonlight Blue Cat!" The Queen of the Moonlights along with the Blue Cat entered the spiraling vortex.
"Blue Cat that prowls through the darkness! Queen of the Moonlights! Spiral into the moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon!" Serena put her hands together. "Come to me! Majestic creature blessed with the power of the moon! Level 8! Moonlight Dancer Dragon (ATK: 2800, LV: 8)!" Serena summoned her dragon.
"Wait, didn't Yuya said that you had to use Contact Fusion to summon that dragon?" Yuzu recalled what Yuya told her after their fight at the Maiami Championship and how Serena defeated Barrett with a new method of Fusion.
"I can actually Fusion Summon it both ways, but in order to use Contact Fusion, the monsters have to be on the field. I set three cards and end my turn!" Serena finished.
Mikage LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Yuzu LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Serena LP: 4000, Hand: 0
Rin LP: 4000, Hand: 5
Ruri LP: 4000, Hand: 5
"I'll go next! Draw!" Ruri drew her card. "I summon Lyrical Luscinia – Moonstone Hawk (ATK: 1400, LV: 4)!" Ruri summoned a small female bird monster with a moonstone gem on her head.
"When Moonstone Hawk is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Lyrical Luscinia monster from my hand! I Special Summon Lyrical Luscinia – Quartz Bat (ATK: 1500, LV: 4)!" Ruri summoned a female bird monster dressed as a battle with a quartz gem.
"I Overlay my Level 4 Lyrical Luscinia Moonstone Hawk and Quartz Bat!" Both monsters turned into green lights and entered the spacelike portal.
"Wings of the ancients! Erase the darkness of the battlefield and bring back the light! Descend now! Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 4! The mighty leader of the Lyrical Luscinia! Lyrical Eagle Dragon (ATK: 2500, RNK: 4, OVU: 2)!" Ruri summoned her dragon.
"Xyz Summon…" Mikage narrowed her eyes.
"I activate the Magic Card: Overlay Boost! This card allows me to select one monster in my hand and become an Overlay Unit for an Xyz Monster on the field." Eagle Dragon gained an additional Overlay Unit.
Lyrical Eagle Dragon (OVU: 2→3)
"I set two cards and end my turn!" Ruri finished.

"I'm next! Draw!" Rin drew her card. "I activate the Continuous Magic: Ferocious Blizzard! Then, I summon Wind Witch – Ice Bell (ATK: 1000, LV: 3)!" Rin summoned her witch.
"Ice Bell's effect! When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, the opponent takes 500 points of damage! And the Continuous Magic: Ferocious Blizzard's effect activates! Effect Damage inflicted by a Wind Witch monster is doubled!" The witch unleashed a strong wind on Mikage.
Mikage LP: 4000→3000
"From my hand, I activate the Magic Card: Dual Summon! This card allows me to Normal Summon once more this turn! I Normal Summon another Ice Bell (ATK: 1000, LV: 3)!" Rin summoned another Ice Bell. "Its effect deals you 500 points of damage, and Ferocious Blizzard doubles it!" Another strong wind hit Mikage.
Mikage LP: 3000→2000
"Next, when I have two or more Wind Witch monsters on the field, I can Special Summon the Tuner Monster, Wind Witch – Snow Bell (ATK: 100, LV: 1)!" Rin summoned her small bell.
"I'm Tuning my Level two Level 3 Ice Bells with my Level 1 Snow Bell!" Snow Bell turned into a single green ring and both Ice Bells went through it and turned into six stars.
"With your beautiful wings that change along with the season, strike down the enemies that pollute your territory! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 7! Wind Witch – Cyclone Dragon (ATK: 2500, LV: 7)!" Rin summoned her dragon to the field.
"I set one card and end my turn!" Rin finished.

"My turn. Draw." Yuzu still felt uneasy about this but she had to fight. "Using the Scale 3 Tenor the Jazz Diva and the Scale 9 Baritone the Country Diva, I set the Pendulum Scale!" Yuzu set her scale.
"With this, I can simultaneously summon monsters from Levels 4 to 7! Song within my heart! Become the melody that brings harmony to all! Pendulum Summon! My musical friends!" The portal opened and two lights came out.
"Prodigy Mozart the Melodious Maestra (ATK: 2600, LV: 8)! And Melodious Flower Dragon (ATK: 2500, LV: 7, PS: 4)!" Yuzu summoned her original ace and dragon ace.
"She can Pendulum too. Then she must be in league with Yuya Sakaki." Mikage narrowed her eyes. "I have to arrest these girls and get information out of them."
"I set two cards and end my turn!" Yuzu finished. The four dragons roared together in harmony.
Commons Area – Alleyway
"Oh man…did I really fall asleep in an alley?" Yuya shook his head as he woke up. He looked at his Duel Disk. "Still no responses, maybe I should—"
The sound of the four dragon's roar caught his attention. "Those roars…" Yuya's four dragons then glowed. "Yuzu, Ruri, Rin, Serena." Yuya ran towards the direction of the roars.
Lancers (Girls) vs Mikage

Yuzu LP: 4000, Hand: 0
Serena LP: 4000, Hand: 0
Rin LP: 4000, Hand: 0
Ruri LP: 4000, Hand: 0
"My turn! Draw!" Mikage drew her card. "I activate the Magic Card: Apostle of Obliteration! This card destroys one set monster on the field and banishes it!"
"But the only the set monster is…" Yuzu noticed.
"That's right! I destroy my monster!" Mikage's monster was destroyed and it revealed itself to be a machine core.
"What is that monster?" Rin was confused.
"Wisdom Core's effect activates! When it's destroyed via a card effect! I can Special Summon these monsters from my hand, deck or Graveyard! Machine Emperor Wisdom Infinity (ATK: 0, LV: 1)! Wisdom Top (ATK: 600, LV: 1)! Wisdom Attack (ATK: 1000, LV: 1)! Wisdom Guard (DEF: 300, LV: 1)! And Wisdom Carrier (ATK: 400, LV: 1)!" machine parts appeared on her field.
"She summoned five monsters at once!" Ruri was shocked.
"This isn't all! Combine together! Machine Emperor Wisdom (ATK: 2200, LV: 1)!" The machine parts combined to reveal a blue colored machine emperor with a shield and a staff.
"Even with that, our monsters are stronger than yours!" Serena pointed out.
"You have actually secured my victory." Mikage pointed out.
At that moment, Yuya arrived but when he saw Mikage, he quickly hid behind the alley wall. "They made it, but who are they Dueling?" Yuya then saw Mikage's car. "Crap, she's Security. What is that monster?" Yuya looked at Machine Emperor Wisdom.
"I set four cards!" Mikage set four cards. "Battle! Machine Emperor Wisdom, attack Prodigy Mozart!"
"But Prodigy Mozart is stronger!" Yuzu pointed out. "Counterattack, Prodigy Mozart! Graceful Wave!" Prodigy Mozart counterattacked.
"At this moment, Wisdom Attack's effect activates! When Wisdom attacks, it gains 200 Attack Points for every Magic and Trap card on the field!" Mikage revealed.
"What?!" Yuzu gasped.
"Oh, it looks like your Pendulum Cards count as Magic Cards." Mikage said. "So that makes 14 Magic and Trap cards on the field. So, Wisdom gains 2800 Attack Points!"
Wisdom (ATK: 2200→5000)
"5000 Attack Points!" Serena's eyes widened.
Wisdom overpowered Mozart's wave and destroyed her and damaged Yuzu.
Yuzu LP: 4000→1600
"At this moment, I activate the Quick-Play Magic: Wisdom Burst! Since Machine Emperor Wisdom destroyed a monster in battle, this card destroys all monsters on the opponent's field and they take damage equal to the combined Attack Points of all destroyed monsters!"
"I won't let you!" Serena shouted. "I activate my Trap Card—" Serena was gonna play her card.
"Wisdom Carrier's effect prevents the opponent from activating Magic or Trap Cards during the Battle Phase!" Mikage revealed.
"What?!" Serena gasped.
"This is the power of Security!" Mikage declared. Machine Emperor Wisdom unleashed a magical blast that destroyed Melodious Flower Dragon, Lyrical Eagle Dragon, Moonlight Dancer Dragon and Wind Witch – Cyclone Dragon.
Yuzu LP: 1600→0
Serena LP: 4000→0
Rin LP: 4000→0
Ruri LP: 4000→0
Winner: Mikage Sagiri
All the girls were blown away and crashed on the ground. Yuya was in shock by what he just saw. This woman…she was on a whole different level than Duel Chaser 227. "No way, she beat them all in one turn!"
Yuya saw Mikage approaching the girls. He was about to go out and help them. "Don't do it, Yuya!" Yugo stopped him.
"What are you saying?! I have to help them?" Yuya argued.
"It won't do them any good if you get captured too." Yugo argued. "If she took down all four of them by herself, what chance do you have against her alone."
"But I have to try. If I don't…" Yuya clenched his fist.
"I don't want to leave them either, but you know I'm right. Even with your mastery of the other methods, can you look me in the eye and say you can win?" Yugo asked.
Yuya looked at Yugo and was gonna say that he could, but seeing the expression that Yugo was making made him waiver. "Damn it…" Yuya cursed.
Mikage stopped in front of the girls. "You're under arrest!"
And done. I know some of you are gonna hate me for what I did, but I wanted to make Security a bigger threat than just Roget. To me, there had to be a few officers that are on a different level than Duel Chaser 227.
I gave both Ushio and Mikage Machine Emperor Decks because those monsters gave Yusei nightmares due to their power. But it also gave him the motivation to find a way to surpass their power, which is what I want for Yuya. Sure, he is strong now with new monsters that he possesses, but he'll need to climb higher if he's gonna survive in a different dimension.
Thank you all for reading and I will see you next time.
Preview: The Lancers have been arrested, and Yuya is on his own again with Security on his tail. Despite having fought off the multiple officers that have cornered him, Yuya is reaching his limit. It is at that moment that help arrives.
