Matthew: The scream isn't that far from here. This place is a maze though. This was the general area though.
Matthew looked to the right to see three Academia members grabbing a girl his height. She was wearing a orange shirt, a red vest that he seen Academia females wear, black shorts with a slanted brown belt, socks that went slightly above her knees and red boots.
Academia 1: Stop making this hard traitor. Just tell us where Kaiser Ryo is and we'll card you without any trouble.
Girl: I said get off me!
Matthew: Traitor?! Then she could be on my side.
Matthew immediately rushes to the scene and quickly pulls off one of the Academia students that was tugging the girl while activating his duel disk.
Matthew: Sir, I'm going to ask you to back the hell up. As you can see, this girl isn't in the mood to talk with you, but if you're going to keep insisting, I'll let my dueling do the talking.
They become confused when they see the duel disk.
Academia 2: Why are you helping the traitor, idiot? Are you dense, just because she has our jacket doesn't mean that she's in the academy.
Matthew: Why don't you follow your own logic idiot? I'm not part of Academia. I stole this from one of your soldiers, so shut up and let's us duel.
The three Academia students prepare their duel disks as Matthew sees Riku coming from behind.
Matthew: Why are you here? Where's Avery?
Riku: Already with you know who. They told me that they're scout, a miss Saotome Rei was missing.
Matthew looks at the girl, who he believed was Rei, behind him.
Matthew: Will you be alright? Can you stand?
Rei: Yes, thank you.
Matthew: Good, now go with Riku. He'll keep you safe for now.
?: Not if we have anything to say about that?
Matthew: Oh, cmon. What now?
Three more Academia students appeared where Riku's entrance point was at.
Academia 4: We got the transmission. So these three are with Sakaki Yusho, huh? This will make things so much easier. We can finally bring the traitor Kaisor back to the Professor.
Riku: Not if we have anything to say about that. Matthew, I'll take care of these three. You take care of the others.
Matthew: I can dig that. Also Riku!
Riku: What?
Matthew: No SYP! Can't give them anything.
Rei: SYP?
Matthew: Not now, miss Saotome. While I'm here, you won't have to worry about a thing.
Academia 3: Wow, a true knight in shining armor. It's three against one, what you gonna do about it?
Matthew: Test out my new deck on you guys. It took me a whole 20 minutes to make and I think I took care of everything else. Now, who wants some?

Riku WINS!
Matthew: That was short sweet and Rei here is in one piece.
Rei: Thank you Matthew for helping me. Eugh…
Rei had passed out while Matthew catched her without knowing what to do. He picks her up in a bridal carry and slowly walks towards Riku.
Matthew: Nice Contact Fusion, Riku. Looks like your skills are improving quite a bit with that new deck.
Riku: Thanks. And you using two Fusions in one turn to OTK every single one of them was pretty cool. Looks like, Rei is fast asleep.
Matthew: I don't blame her. After trying to fight off more than one opponent at a time can really drain you. Anyways. Lead us to the boat. I want to see my sister again.
Riku: Right this way. Matthew. Just don't drop her.
Matthew: Don't worry. I'll take care of her no problem. Let's just hope no more Academia show up.
Riku: Agreed.
The two dashed off towards the pier and after twenty minutes of running, they see a tall man in a red performers outfit with a cane and purple top hat.
?: Ah, you brought Rei, back. I thank you, both.
Riku: It was no problem Mr. Sakaki.
Matthew: Sakaki? Oh, your Yuya's father. Nice to meet you, I'm Matthew. I would shake your hand, but my hands are a bit full as of right now.
Yusho: Oh yes. Please put her on the stretcher. We'll make sure that she'll get enough rest.
Matthew nodded as he puts her down gently and two teenagers take her into the boat.
Matthew: So, I heard much about you during my time in Standard Dimension. Quite the entertainment duelist. Even, Yuya has his own special quirks.
Yusho: Really? Please tell me, what has he done to make him so famous?
Riku: He has made a new summoning method called Pendulum Summoning. It's a summoning method where he uses monsters as Pendulum scales to special summon monsters between those scales at the same time.
Matthew: Quite overpowered, but kinda balanced in it's own way.
Suddenly, his backpack was rustling very violently as Matthew looked inside of it. He sees a circular pendant that was unfamiliar to him. It had a circular stone in the middle of four quarter circle stones. They each had a colored stone. One was blue, purple, white, and black and the stone in the middle was a rainbow color. Suddenly the rainbow stone started to light up and Matthew felt a bit dizzy. He couldn't think straight and everything around him felt really wobbly.
Riku: Yo. Are you feeling ok?
Matthew: I- I'm ok… Just tired. C-Crap… C-Can't think properly.
Matthew couldn't remain awake and everything was getting dark around him. He soon lost consciousness.
?: Wake up…
Matthew: Eugh.
?: Wakey wakey, Yu!
Matthew: Huh?
Matthew wakes up in a dark area. He sees a figure in front of him, but it looked like a glowy version of himself.
Matthew: What the heck? Who are you?
?: Don't I like familiar to you? I guess you wouldn't understand yet.
Matthew: True self? What the hell do you mean other me?
Other Matthew: First of all. It's a pleasure to meet you, Matthew. I'm Yu. God, that sounded weird.
Matthew: What do you mean, weird? Who are you exactly?
Yu: It's fine. Just a nervous tick. And let's just say, a really old friend for you and *ahem Avery.
Matthew: Ok, Yu. So what happened to me?
Yu: Well, you touched my pendant that I gave to you a long time ago. It was something special. Let's say that I'm part of the pendant.
Matthew: Part of the pendant? Like I'll believe that hocus pocus.
Yu: And you being transported to another world where everyone plays a children's card game as a way to battle in a war. And me, appearing out of nowhere just as you touched my pendant is just normal.
Matthew: Fine, you're right. So, Yu why did you just come out all of a sudden?
Yu: It's because you touched my pendant. I just said that. And please don't make this Twenty questions. Unless you are going to bring Bill Slater into this.
Matthew: Ain't he dead?
Yu: That's beside the point. Anyway, I don't want to take too much time so I'll say this. Wear the thing more often. It'll be helpful in the future.
Matthew: Why should I do that exactly?
Yu: What did I say about twenty questions? No Bill Slater, no asking me stupid questions. This is for your safety kid. One last thing before I wake you up, I'm going to be giving you a special card.
Matthew: Special card? Um, thanks? What does it do?
Yu: Ok, fine. I'll let you ask that question because you don't have a clue. It's like your Millenium Ring. You can set is on the Pendulum scale, but it must be on the very first turn of the duel. If you join a duel midway, you can't use it. However, you can set it on your opponent's turn if they go first. This card is called Millenium Rod. It's Pendulum effect is that none of your cards can have their effects negated. Also, if you have a restriction let's say you use Pot of Duality, you can't special summon, but with this card in your Pendulum Zone, those restriction will not affect you. So if you use Millenium Ring's effect to Fusion Summon monster, it can't have it's effects negated. It has a Scale of 10 which is also a plus so it's a pretty good card.
Matthew: That sounds like a overpowered card.
Yu: Nah, it's totally balance correctly. It's not broken or anything.
Matthew: Eugh. My head feels like someone bashed it with a brick. Where the heck am I?
Matthew looks around to see that he was in some med bay. He figured he was in the ship as he saw a certain blue haired girl across him who had just woke up. She looked up at Matthew as he smiles and waves. He slowly gets up and walks to Rei still sitting in bed and takes a seat on the chair near her bed.
Matthew: So, Rei. How are you feeling? You were out last time. Whenever that was?
Rei: I'm feeling a bit better. Thank you again for saving me. I don't know what I would have done without you.
Matthew: It's fine. Would you like to tell me why they wanted to capture you so badly?
Rei: They're after someone. He's a top-tier duelist in the world, Marufuji Ryo. He's also known as "Kaiser Ryo" back at duel academy, before they started to go to the Xyz dimension. That's when he took me, his brother Sho, and other students to here. To stay away from the war.
Matthew: He sounds like the person who hates to hurt the weak.
?: And he likes dueling with everyone. He deeply respect his opponents and he feels a connection to them as a duelist. That's why he is a great student of mine.
Matthew looks behind him to see Yusho entering the room with Avery.
Rei: Ah, Mr. Sakaki! Who's this?
Matthew: Rei, meet my sister Avery. Avery this is Rei, the girl that Riku and I saved earlier.
Avery: Nice to meet you Rei.
Rei: It's nice to meet you too. I don't remember you when Matthew saved me.
Avery: Ah yes. One of the ones that saved you, Riku had knocked me out consciousness. When I woke up, he explained himself and I smacked him across the kisser. Serves him right.
Matthew: Riku actions may have been unjustified, but he had good intentions.
Riku: Yeah, you didn't have to punch me hard.
Riku had popped up behind Yusho and Avery. He had a ice pack around his cheek which is nowhere near his "kisser".
Matthew: Ouch, that's going to leave a mark. Guess you two are even?
Riku: Definitely, lol.
Avery gave a humph as everyone chuckled a bit.
Yusho: So, Riku was explaining me how Pendulum summoning works, is it ok if I see it in action?
Matthew: With me?
Avery: Against me. He said it'd be good if it was between us.
Yusho: If that's fine with you, Matthew. I think this would be a pleasurable experience for everyone here.
Avery: It's just, are you ok?
Matthew: Don't worry. I think I was just a bit tired from all the dueling.
Riku: That and you dueling non-stop at that dueling arena could've had really taken a turn on you.
Avery: Dueling arena? What's this about?
Riku: He went to a dueling arena for three days straight and even during the night. He broke like ten machines with all the summoning readings that he got during his time there. Luckily he takes breaks to shower and stuff but c'mon.
Rei: You seem to like dueling a lot.
Matthew: It's a given. Hey has anyone seen my backpack?
Riku: Yeah, I put it near your bed.
Matthew thanked him and looked inside his backpack. He takes out a magic pendant and holds it a bit before putting it around his neck. That necklace confuses Avery as the rainbow stone on both sides starts to glow. He looks through his bag even more and he takes out a black card on pockets it. He turns around he sees Riku giving him a duel disk. One that looks like a special type of duel disk.
Riku: Akaba Reiji had taken the courtesy of looking over your duels as he tried to figure out what you were doing with that Tuner Synchro monster. Then he found out about something called Accel Synchro when he saw a recorded duel with some kind of police officer.
Matthew: Something, I saw in my world.
Riku: Well, this duel disk will let you Accel Synchro without having to use that D-Wheel of yours.
Matthew: No way. You serious! Thank you dude!
Matthew was so hyped up as he puts the duel disk on his arm.
Avery: Accel Synchro?
Matthew: Oh, you'll definitely learn about it soon, Avery. The hard way. On second thought, if I have something like this then it should be two against one?
Riku: Two against one? You're really confident about this.
Matthew: If you see what's going to happen, you'll be the same. So, you two good going up against me?
Aver: I guess?
Riku: I'm fine with that.
Matthew: Hey Rei! Are you able to watch.
Rei nods as she gets out of her bed, she is still in her original clothes.
Matthew: Cool. Let's get started then!
Thirty minutes later
Matthew was on one side while Riku and Avery are on the opposite side. Rei was near the side with Ryo and his little brother Sho as they watched the duel that was about to start.
Matthew: Good luck you. You're going to need it.
Riku: You should be the one with luck.
Matthew: Nah, dude! I have skill.
Avery: He is so reckless.
Matthew: So, what. Anyways. Ladies and Gentlemen! Let's show you a spectacular duel for the ages.
Matthew / Avery / Riku: Duel!

Matthew: Sis, that's Millenium Ring. Millenium Rod is a totally separate card. On the very first turn, I can set this card which is a Scale 10 from my extra deck to the Pendulum Zone.
Riku: I'm thinking I can understand why you're getting so confident.

Riku: Pendulum Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz? He isn't holding back.
Avery: Maybe it's because he's fighting two of us?
Matthew: Nah, it's because I never hold back. Battle! I attack Elemental Hero Flare Neos with Utopia! Rising Sun Slash!
Rei: Is he going for mutual destruction?!
Matthew: Number Monsters can only be destroyed by Number Monsters, so the only monster that will be destroyed will be is your monster!
Avery: Bro did you forget about Flare Neos has an ability! This monster gains 400 Atk for each spell and trap on the field! Since there is eight, my monster gains 3200 Atk! (2500 → 5700) Plus my monster gains 500 attack for Pendulum Miko's Pendulum effect. (5700 → 6200)

Avery: Oh dear. This can be bad. (6200 → 5400 Atk)
Matthew - LP 4000 → 3000
Matthew:I think I can win this turn! Hmm…
Matthew looks at his new duel disk and examines it trying to figure out how to Accel Synchro.
Riku: There's a button over your Synchro Tuner. Press it.
Matthew presses it and suddenly a sudden zap of energy flows around him. He is surrounded in speed which excites him.

Riku - LP 3300 → 0
Matthew Wins!
Riku and Avery who were both knocked down from Matthew's attacks looked at each other.
Riku: Your brother is really something. He beat both of us at once.
Avery: Yeah, and we really tried our best.
Matthew walks up to both of them and pulls them both up.
Matthew: And that makes it 2/0 with both of you. Congrats, you guys have something in common.
Riku: Hah. Very funny.
Avery: Nothing wrong with that. It just motivates me to keep trying to surpass you Matthew.
Rei: Great duel!
Rei walks up to Matthew and smiles a bit.
Matthew: Heh. Thanks. Maybe we should have a duel Rei? It'd be awesome!
Rei: Are you kidding? I'll obviously lose to you. Anyways Mr. Sakaki would like to have a word with you.
Matthew: Ok? For what reason?
Rei: Something about a mission he look like your help on. He's waiting near the front. I'll show you.
Matthew: Ok then? See ya guys then.
Riku and Avery nodded and they walked away chatting up a bit as Matthew walks besides Rei.
Rei: Matthew, you're an amazing duelist. You've got skills that I believe can even beat Ryo. You've saved me earlier today and thank you.
Matthew: Thanks Rei. It means a lot when you say that. But, I still got a ways to go before I can really call myself a duelist.
Rei: Heh. How modest. You make an ideal boyfriend.
Matthew: Wait, what did you just say?
Rei: Oh nothing. The fronts up ahead.
Rei jogs ahead as Matthew tries to keep up and they reached the front where Yusho was staring off into the sky.
Matthew: Mr. Sakaki. You wanted to see me?
Yusho: Yes, I would like you to go to the Academy with Rei.
Matthew: Pardon me? Go to the Academy? I think I misheard you.
Yusho: That is correct. I would like if you and Rei went to the Academy in secret. One of my former students, Kurosaki Ruri has been captured over there.
Matthew: Ruri? That's right. She was taken. So you want me to rescue her from the Academy?
Yusho: No, I would like you to find out the reason she was captured. I would also like it if you made this mission as quiet as possible.
Rei: And what about me?
Yusho: You need to help Matthew over there as he can't do it alone. Once you two figured it out travel to Standard and Riku will join you there. Avery will choose if she wants to stay here or go to Standard.
Rei: That will take some time. Even if we get a chance to make it in there, we'll need time to look around, without drawing suspicion.
Matthew: Plus, I'm on the top of their wanted list. I'll have to use a different name and to do additional stuff. How would I prove that I'm trustworthy?
Yusho: Maybe a card will help? They don't do background checks. They just see how you duel and such.
Matthew: Fine. I'll have to change my name. What should it be?
Rei: Nothing to obvious.
Yu…
Matthew: I got it. Yu. That'll be my name.
Rei: Where did that come from?
Matthew: Something just told me to use that name.
Yusho: Good. We'll reach the mainland tonight so prepare. I suggest that you get some rest.
Matthew: *Sighes Alright then. I guess I just got to show my stuff. I'll prepare for tomorrow.
Yusho: Have a pleasant rest.
Matthew silently walks with Rei back to the dueling area where they see Riku and Avery chatting with Sho and Ryo.
Riku: Yo! What's up? This is Ryo and Sho.
Matthew: It's a pleasure to meet you two. I'm Matthew.
Ryo: The pleasure is mine. You are truly a gifted duelist winning against two people at once. You also happened to use multiple summoning methods which really surprised me. Are you from Standard like Yusho?
Matthew: Afraid not. I'm from my own separate place.
Avery: Where we come from, we don't have normal duel monsters sprouting into life with the technology that the world uses.
Riku: Also, Yusho had already messaged us about the mission.
Rei: That's right. We already accepted the mission.
Avery: Isn't it dangerous? What if you get caught?
Matthew: We'll deal with that once it happens. For now, I have to get in the place first. I'm tired right now.
Rei: Same here.
Sho: Alright then. Get some rest.
Matthew: Thanks.
Later Matthew was on a couch sleeping. He again was in the same dark room that he was in before. He looks up and sees Yu standing there.
Yu: How's it going.
Matthew: Ok, I guess. Thanks for the card. It really helped.
Yu: No problemo. I was thinking of sharing this with you later, but I can't do it after this time.
Matthew: What is it?
Yu: Listen. Your name ain't Matthew. Your real name is Yu.
Matthew: But that's your name.
Yu: Dude we look the same. Did you honestly think if I wasn't you I would look different.
Matthew: So, how did I get this name?
Yu: I think I should show you instead. We got time. I mean the time between dimensions is different.
Matthew: Huh? What do you mean different?
Yu: Dude, are you dense? Two different dimensions would follow the laws of time seperately. Alex can be weird about that, I know but that's besides the point. What really matters is that you regain your old memories. Not the false memories but your real ones.
Matthew: Hold on? Fake memories? Time laws?
Yu: God, I thought this wasn't 20 questions. Fine. Different dimensions follow the laws of time differently. For example, the Fusion dimension is 1:10 ratio to Standard. Basically ten days here is like a day on Standard. So time isn't that big a factor.
Matthew: Say what now?
Ooh, some crazy shit is about to go down! Time laws and all that mumble jumbo. Look I'm not going to go that much detail about how this will correlate with the story, just take it and move on. Also, Matthew is Yu? Or is Yu, Matthew? Heck should I know. I Bsed this whole episode just to meet the monthly deadline. With that being said, this is masterstarman1002 signing off!
