Chapter 4: Reunite and Resist

Later in Heartland City.

The Lancers were escorted into a woods area with a stone stair path by two Resistance Members.

They all came to the top. "This is our hideout." The brown spiked hair boy said pointing ahead.

Up ahead was house with stone pillars on the each side.

Just then a woman ran out from the shrine then hugged Shay and Leonardo.

"Oh, Leonardo, Shay are back!" The woman cried with joy as tears came out of her eyes which soaked her friends shairts.

"Who is that?" Sylvio asked.

"Can you save this for later, Jody?" Leonardo asked annoyed.

"Yes, your getting our friends shirts wet." Jenna said with a chuckle.

"She's always happy to see Leonardo the most." A female voice said who jumped from the nearby trees.

The woman had blue female jeans, with blonde hair, yellow T-shirt. "Its great to you three." She said with a smile.

"I see some of our friends returned." Another woman said walking out of the shrine house entrance.

The woman had long red hair, with a blue skirt, long white socks, brown shoes, red button shirt. "Master Scarlett." Leonardo said standing straight.

"Master?" Sylvio asked confused.

Then another girl appeared behind Scarlett. "Hmm, it seems you guys returned.

The girl was wearing a mini dress with no sleeves but with a white collar and red tie with had a also a red belt having a red lid side skirt with black shoes and socks, and she was wearing black gloves.

Yuya was astonished by these duelists. "(So more members of the Resistance survived.)"

Soon everyone went to room and beside the room was a open space where girl with glasses giving some people soup.

"Now then, let's introduce ourselves, my name is Alan." The brown haired boy stated as he pointed behind them. "The one handing out the soup is Sarah."

"My name is Scarlett." The red head woman said.

"Excuse me, why did Leonardo call you Master Scarlett?" Sylvio asked but then he realized something. "Don't tell me a woman like you is in charge."

"Is there problem with that?" Scarlett asked giving a very creepy glare.

Sylvio was left speechless with fright. "Uh...no...not really." He stammered nervously and shaking his head.

"Way to go, making the red head angry." Gong commented.

"I have a name you know!" Scarlett spatted.

"Gong is sorry!" The Dojo man cried bowing his head down.

"Anyway, yes she was left in charge ever since Yuto and others went to rescue Lulu." The blonde girl answered who was leaning against the wall. "My name is Luka, I'm a pro in Clover Duel School and also a member of the Resistance Clover Squad."

"My name is Jody, I'm a member of the resistance and attending at the Duel School where Yuto and Shay attended." The blue haired girl said as she sat clover to Leonardo. "Also I'm Leonardo's secret girlfriend."

Sherry was slightly shocked.

"Ugh, we're not dating." Leonardo groaned scratching his hair with his hand roughly.

"My name is Alicia, I'm top at my class in Clover Duel School and member of the Resistance Clover Squad." The black haired girl said.

"She's also a dear friend of Raptor too." Luka added with a silly grin.

"Wait, does mean Raptor is her boyfriend?" Sylvio asked curiously.

Alicia gave the LID Entertainer a creepy glare. "Uh, never mind." He said gigging nervously.

"Hey, Sarah come on over here!" Alex called.

Sarah turned around with a shy look. "Yeah...well."

"It won't do any you do if you overwork yourself." Scarlett stated. "She's right, on top of that we don't know when our fight with Duel Academy will start again." Alex added agreeing with the Master of the Resistance's statement.

"We told you to be more concerned with yourself." Jody stated.

"Yes I know..." Sarah said with a nod as she gave the last non-duelist soup.

"Sorry, she's really shy." Alan said.

Sarah walked to her friends when she began to remember Cera's face.

"Sarah, come." Scarlett said calmly.

"You guys are quite the welcoming on the other though." Sylvio commented. "You all just met me today and you already have the nerve to speak to so informally..."

Cut it out." Gong said putting his hand on top of the LID boy's head.

Yuya then recognized three people in the group. "Are they..."

"That is the mother and her children, she told us where you were." Shay answered. "They wanted to thank you for teaching them the true meaning of dueling while fighting off Duel Academy soliders."

"I see, these guys took down Duel Academy warriors." Alicia said looking a bit impressed.

"(But I wasn't able to open Kite's heart with our duel, then bringing out Yuto's Dragon caused his heart to waver but...)"Yuya began to say. "His hate towards Duel Academy still remains." Yuto finished.

"Anyway, Sherry I have a question for you." Alex said which got the blonde's attention. "How is that you are involved with the Dimensional Wars."

Sherry explained everything about her past.

Sarah was shocked. "You're a victim of Duel Academy too."

"Your father owned his own card company?" Alex asked amazed but more like interested. "He also found out about Fusion Summoning." Sarah added surprised.

"Yes, but someone didn't want my father to create anymore Fusion Monsters, when my father refused to stop his developing in Fusion Monsters, strange men came around and threatening my family and I, however I managed to escape with my butler Elsworth."

Luka, Alicia, Scarlett, Alex, Jody, and Sarah gasped in totally shock.

"What else happened next?" Alicia asked.

Sherry's shoulders began to shrug.

"Despite what happened, I was determined to find out who were the monsters that took my family away from me." Sherry said clenching her hands. "I did, thanks to Yuya and the others I was able to find out where my parents were including the ordered the men to turn my parents into cards."

"It was Roget, who is also a member of Duel Academy." Yuya stated.

"He's gone now, he was sucked into a wormhole due to his Dimensional machine which he was going to use to escape with a friend of mine, but it went haywire then Roget got sucked in, then it went haywire again that's when Shay, Yuya, Jenna, Sherry, Gong, Sylvio, and I were sucked in as well." Leonardo added. "Including another friend."

Yuya knew what his comrade meant. "(I hope Zuzu is alright.)"

"Anyway, you're Yuya." Alex said which got the Dueltainer's attention. "I'm amazed that you really do look like him."

"I see that too." Jody said realization. "I must say its quite amazing yet confusing that you look like Yuto." Alicia added putting her fingers under her chin.

"We thought Yuto had come back to us." Luka added.

"Who is Yuto?" Sylvio asked confused.

"We heard about him from Zuzu some time back." Gong answered. "Yes, in fact I believe you dueled him in the Standard Dimension." Leonardo stated looking at the LID Lancer.

Sylvio had a realization face.

Remembering the duel between him and Yuto, how he was defeated easily.

"Yes, I remember that, though I thought it was Yuya that attacked me on that night." Sylvio said.

"I see, why do you two look alike?" Alicia asked.

"What if you are Yuto, I mean you used Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon." Alan joked.

"He's not Yuto." Shay answered which got his Resistance comrades to look at him.

"He may look like him, but he's Yuya Sasaki."

"Sasaki?" Sarah asked.

"Then what about Yuto?" Alan inquired. "Yeah, if you aren't Yuto, then where is he?" Jody asked with concern.

Luka was concerned as well.

"Shay along with Sibella, Katt, Raptor, Jenna, Leonardo, chased after Yuto." Alex said.

"Speaking of, where is Raptor, Katt, and Sibella?" Luka asked.

"They're back in Synchro Dimension." Shay answered. "Don't worry, they're in good hands with some friends of ours."

"That doesn't explain where Yuto is." Alicia said looking concerned of their missing friend.

"Well, Yuto is..." Yuya began to say but hesitated as his Xyz Counterpart appeared beside him. "Please, if you tell them they won't understand."

Yuya knew his counterpart was right but knew he had to give them some kind of answer.

"Its true that Yuto went the Standard Dimension with me and the others." Shay answered. "But he went missing sometime later."

"What do you mean he went missing?" Alicia asked.

"Has he been carded by a Duel Academy student?" Luka asked anxiously.

"No, Yuto's diappearence is unknown to us." Leonardo answered though he was denying the truth. "We doubted Yuya at first."

"We did, we all thought he attacked Yuto and stolen Dark Rebellion after he used it against a duelist in Standard." Jenna stated.

Flashback

Yuya was talking with Shay, Jenna, and Raptor. "Yuto gave me his dragon to make people happy and to smile."

Flashback ends.

"To make people happy and to smile." Alex said.

"That is something that Yuto would say." Sarah stated remembering her friends words.

"In the end, we never found out where Yuto went, but after seeing how Yuya fought after that, we decided to trust him." Jenna added.

"Yes, however I didn't decide to trust him back then not until against two Fusion Summoners." Leonardo stated.

Yuya looked at the blue haired man knowing who he was referring too. "Yes, I heard that you dueled against them with Katt."

"You and Katt dueled against two Fusion Warriors!" Sarah explained. "How did the duel go?" Luka asked looking eager to hear the story.

"The duel was intense as it began, but the two weren't as bad as we thought." Leonardo replied smiling slightly. "Thanks to them, Katt and I remembered what we were fighting for, that dueling is for fun too."

"As for me, Gong helped me to see the true meaning of dueling." Jenna commented with a smile. "Aww, shucks." Gong chuckled nervous rubbing the back of his head.

Sarah put her hand under chin. "Its strange, I feel like Yuto is here."

"He is, in spirit, Yuto believed the rest of the group that was with us decided to trust him as did I." Shay finished.

Yuya smiled at his friend's words.

"I see, so that's how you guys became comrades." Alex said seemingly interested.

"Very interesting." Scarlett commented. "That's good and well." Jody added with a smile. "If they say those three and that Synchro girl is good, its fine with me." Luka grinned widely.

"Yeah, however we have another problem to share." Alicia said.

"What do you mean?" Leonardo asked.

"It was right around when Shun, Yuto and the others when they went to the Standard Dimension." Alex began to explain. "Duel Academy started a full-fledge assault."

Flashback scene.

"The instant they'd see anyone, they'd point their duel disks at them, then turn them into cards without mercy." Jody added.

"In that fight, a lot of duelists were carded even ones that weren't duelists." Alicia explained. "Our school, Clover was on the brink of being destroyed." Alex added. "We were so desperately to protect any remaining members, that we couldn't even protect all the citizens, even I couldn't cause I had to hide I felt helpless."

"Yes, we barely escaped and then made it to this hideout." Luka explained.

The resistances and non duelists gazed at the destruction and smoke from their city.

"This happened." Shay muttered lowering his head and looking at the floor.

"This can't be." Jenna gritted her teeth and clenching her hands. "Man, we went to Standard and this happens." Leonardo said lowering his head down with anger.

"Those poor people." Sherry said putting her head on Leonard's hand.

Jody noticed this. "(Does this woman like my Leonardo?)" She asked herself with a jealousy look.

"Then that must the reason Kite is angry." Yuya said.

"Yes, but who could blame him after what happened to his family." Alicia answered with a sadden face.

"Wait, is Kite's family..." Yuya began to ask.

"Yes, Kite's entire family, he tried to protect them, but in the end he couldn't at all." Sarah replied sadly.

"We found other members of the Resistance." Shay spoke.

"What are their names?" Yuya asked.

"Jason, Cerea, Maria, and William." Alex answered.

"Wait, William and Maria, I remember them!" Yuya exclaimed. "They came to the Standard Dimension not too long ago!"

"Yes, I admit they were tough cookies!" Sylvio added.

"If that's the case, Gong doesn't understand why they aren't with you guys." Gong said scratching his head.

Luka was about to answer until she noticed the look on Sarah's guilty face. "Um, we'll talk about that later."

The Lancers were confused what blonde woman meant by that.

"(Man, if things were tough like they are now, I mean Jack and I were able to accomplish what we wanted do cause we were fighting for the same goal...but.)" Yuya thought.

He then remembered Kite's words.

"You dare oppose me, you must be from Duel Academy, so unless you beg for forgiveness then you'll pay dearly!"

"(He really meant that he was so angry, though anger isn't going to solve anything, if he doesn't see that then peace won't brought to the Xyz Dimension.)" Yuya thought looking down in disbelief.

"You said that you were Yuya Sasaki, right?" Sarah asked.

This got the Dueltainer's attention again including the remaining Resistance warriors.

"Could it be that you have some kind of connection to Yusho Sasaki?" She asked.

"Wait, you know my father?!" Yuya asked in surprising tone.

"Sasaki, that's right you did say Sasaki, are you his son?" Alex asked.

Yuya got up in surprise. "Yeah, I'm his son alright!"

"Who would have thought that people know of Yuya's father in the Xyz Dimension." Gong said looking surprised. "That means he came here!" Sylvio exclaimed in realization.

"He did, in fact he was our teacher too." Sarah stated."Three years ago, he showed us as if he had predicted Duel Academy's invasion, he taught us about dueling, not just skills and tactics, but the mindset to always remember to smile and to show how a good a duelist you can be.

"Yes, I remember watching him in action way back as well." Alicia stated. "Yes, he was quite the handsome man too." Luka said with a flirty tone.

"I never knew he had a son." Jody added in surprise.

Yuya was excited and relieved. "Then my father really wasn't a duelist that ran away, he wasn't a coward, he crossed dimensions to fight Duel Academ..."

"He is a coward!" Alex interrupted which got the Dueltainer to look at him. "He disappeared without warning one day, he abandoned and left us to rot when we needed him the most!"

Yuya was left speechless yet he was shocked.

Scarlett was silent as well as the other Resistance duelists.

In the Fusion Dimension.

Zuzu is awakening. "Where am I?"

She then walked out between the buildings and came to a dock area. "Is isn't the city I'm familiar with, that until..."

She remembered that she got sucked into a wormhole after Roget's tranportal machine went haywire.

She hugged herself then she heard a boat's horn and she looked to see a large cruise ship with people waving at their kids that were being transported.

She approached behind the crowd. "Are those kids are all going to become duelists?" She asked.

A young boy wearing a dress button shirt turned around. "Yes, they'll going to Duel Academy!"

The boy pointed to the direction where the boat was going. "Yes, out on that sea there's an island with the Duel Academy, but you can only get there by boat..."

The boy then stopped and observed Zuzu. "Wait, this is common knowledge, its seems you don't know what I mean."

"Are you saying that Duel Academy is across that sea...is this the Fusion Dimension!" Zuzu cried in shock.

"I really want to graduate Elementry School and then go to Duel Academy!" The boy said excitedly but more like eagerly. "If I study hard, I'm sure I can there and become a strong duelist taht doesn't lose to anyone!"

Zuzu was concerned yet she knew the boy didn't know much about Duel Academy. "Excuse me, don't you know what they do there?"

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Duel Academy trains their students and use them by sending them to other dimen..." Zuzu began to explain.

"Come on dear." A female voice said as a woman approached and the boy walked to her. "We're done seeing them off, you need to train hard with your private tutor so you don't be become a droput and make it to Duel Academy."

"Ok mama, see ya." The boy waved as his mother narrowed her eyes suspciously. "Excuse me, how old are you?"

"I-I'm fourteen..." Zuzu replied slightly nervous. "You seem to be around the age that Duel Academy students are usually are, so why are you here?" The mother asked as she observed the young girl's clothing. "Wait, those don't look like clothes Duel Academy would wear either."

Zuzu was getting confused than ever.

"Did you escape from Duel Academy?" A man wearing a leather vest asked.

"There are kids who've done that, they hide in the ship so they sneak out." A second man wearing a pocket shirt stated.

"Hey, contract the guidance committee!" A man wearing a neck band.

"What, so you ran away?" The boy asked looking shocked.

"No, you got it wrong!" Zuzu panicked.

"If we let her go, it'll be a bad example for the other kids!" The man wearing a leather vest protested.

Zuzu ran quickly with the three Guidance men after her.

She ran into buildings with small pathways and hid behind a corner. "(If they catch me, they'll take me to Duel Academy.)" She thought nervously breathing heavily.

She then ran across a overpass bridge and on the water was a woman wearing a hood noticing the three guidance men.

She then ran into another direction leading to a stairway and came to large pair of doors then began knocking hard.

"There is no where to run!" The first guidance stated.

"Stop struggling and go back to the island!" The 2nd ordered.

"As long as it isn't repeated offense, you'll get off only one month of reeducation!" The 3rd added.

"But if you decide to resist..." The first guidance as he and his two partners activated their duel disks.

"I have no choice..." Zuzu said taking out her duel disk.

"Hold it!" A voice rang out and out of nowhere came the woman dressed in a hoody appeared in front of Zuzu and took off the hoody.

"This woman..." THe first guidance began to say.

"Yeah, no mistaking her!" The second added in realization.

"She took down countless members!" The third stated.

"If its Battle Royale, then ok." The woman said activating her duel disk.

"There is nothing you can do!" The first Juvenile officer proclaimed.

"Now you see the power of Duel Academy!" The 2nd declared.

"It would be better to surrender before you get hurt!" The third informed.

"Surrender, we're just getting started, I draw!" Alexis declared. "I activate the Spell Card: Ritual Spell: Machine Angel Ritual!"

A big large object appeared from the ground. "I release the Level 4 Etoile Cyber and the my Cyber Prima in my hand to..."

A burst of energy came out of the large object which appeared to be a box. "Angel of Light with unparalleled power, come forth to this dark world and shine your light upon all creation!"

An Angel Monster appeared from the energy.

"Cyber Angel-Vrash descend!"

Cyber Angel-Vrash Level 10 Attack 3000

"So she uses ritual Summoning." Zuzu said amazed

"Pulling out a Level 10 Monster so quickly, you're as powerful as the rumors say but..." The first Juvenile Officer commented.

"Its only got 3000 attack points." The 2nd Juvenile Officer stated. "How do you plan to fight us against our three monsters?"

"This will be the last time you defy Duel Academy." The 3rd stated.

"I wonder about that." Alexis said with a confident smile.

Zuzu wondered if she had a plan.

"When Cyber Angel Vrash is Summoned, I can destroy all Fusion Monsters on my opponents field and deal 1000 damage to their owners per monster!" Alexis declared.

The gate device on Angel Vishnu's back lit up and fired small energy beams.

"What?" The first Officer asked in shock.

"All Fusion Monsters are..." The 2nd began to say with shock.

"Destroyed!" The 3rd Officer finished.

"Ascension Burst!" Alexis commanded.

The yellow burst of energy was fired down directly and destroyed all three Bull Fortress Monsters.

2nd Officer: 3000

First Juvenile Officer: 3000

3rd Juvenile Officer: 3000

"For every monster destroyed with this ability, Vishnu can attack once more." Alexis added as the three officers gasped. "Now Cyber Angel Vishnu attack!"

Angel Vishnu unleased two stream of light energy beams at the three officers causing a big explosion.

2nd Officer: 0

First Juvenile Officer: 0

3rd Juvenile Officer: 0

"Amazing!" Zuzu said completely amazed.

"Follow me!" Alexis declared.

The female Dueltainer followed the blonde to the boad she was riding on.

"What's your name." The blonde asked.

"Zuzu Boyle, what's yours?" Zuzu asked.

"My name is Alexis." The girl replied. "Come with me."

A short time later.

Alexis took Zuzu to a hideout in the mountain area and inside was a secret door in the back.

"Here, there are plenty of other students who have escaped from Duel Academy like you." Alexis explained.

"Escaped, I see.' Zuzu said as she looked through a window. "What school is this?"

"Its our school known as You Show Duel School." Alexis replied opening a door.

This made Zuzu gasp in realization as she looked inside the room and saw a familiar person sitting in a chair further in the classroom.

"You're..." She began to say surprisingly.

It was Yusho Sasaki who smiled at her.
