"Well Sora failed as expected. But what interests me is that Yuya Sakaki." An academia commander said while talking to Leo Akaba. "Giving an Xyz Monster and Level and then Overlaying into an evolved form of Pendulum monster."
"That just shows that Zarc is growing even more power even after being split into his five forms." Leo Akaba said with a hint of anger. "And Yu Nishkiyiama is able to Pendulum, Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Summon monsters that are like the evolved versions of Zarc's dragons."
"That means that we have to go into the next stage right now."
"Professor Draco. Are you certain that they are ready for deployment? Will they be able to do the thing that they're supposed to do?"
"Yes Professor Akaba. It would make using Synchro monsters a hindrance for and making our monsters stronger. And we almost made more copies of the cards for the soldiers in the Xyz Dimension, the field Magic: Sargasso Battlefield. We even how something for those pesky Number monsters that Yu Nishikiyama has."
"Everything is on schedule then? Good. Deploy them soon. Everything that you've made will be ready."
"That is a fact."
"Good. Get them ready. They'll be deployed soon."
"Alright Professor." Draco bows before going through Academia passing through students who have just got out of class as he enters his room. He grabs a book and pulls it which causes the bookshelf to move to reveal a metal door as he inputs a 10 digit password before inputting a hand and retinal scan which causes the door to open. He slowly walk down the stairs and at the final step smiles evilly.

Chapter 15: The Link To Vanguard Part 1
After Reiji made the announcement for the Lancers, he asks everyone except Yu and Misaki to hand their Duel Disks for adjustments so they can dimension teleport. Serena had been given clothes and changed out of Yuzu's clothes. She now wore a red jacket, grey skirt, a half-unzipped black vest, a white shirt, and black-and-red boots. Misaki also changes out of her dueling outfit and wears a yellow shirt under an open white jacket and jeans.
"Hey, Misaki. I'm sorry about what happened earlier today. I don't know what came over me." Yu rubs his head as Misaki shakes her head.
"It's fine. You weren't thinking straight because of your friend disappeared when he met Yugo so I guessed that triggered it."
"Yeah… Any way. What catches my interest is that you can use Accel Synchro. It's like the Xyz dimension's Rank-Up-Magic and Fusion's Contact Fusion. Where did you learn it?"
"I don't know. I've just have been doing it for a long time now that it's just natural to me. Anyway, I think Reiji wanted to have a word with us."
"Sure. Let's go then." The two walked through the tower as they see multiple security personnel. "So you know both Yugo and Crow? Is he someone of interest?"
Yu's question caught Misaki as she stammers. "W-What are you talking about? He's just a good friend!"
"That doesn't sound like just friends." Yu chuckles as he gets smacked by Mizore. "Abuse. I'm still a kid."
"You deserve to be disciplined for acting like a kid."
"She has a point Yu," Serena said in her new get up. "You take this as a game and not taking this seriously."
"Well isn't this a game? Duel Monsters is a card game but it's turned into something different. It went darker then it was supposed to be."
"That mindset is going to get you carded by Academia."
"That's a bit too harsh Serena. He's just acting out in the best intentions." Misaki says as Yu shakes his head.
"Serena. Trust me when I say this, but I have every intention of taking this war seriously. You should know that by now. Remember our duel today?"
"Right. I almost forgot." Serena says before trailing off. "All right. I won't judge you for how you duel. I'll see you later."
Serena leaves the two as Yu and Misaki reach Reiji who was creating stronger cards for everyone to use.
"Yu. Misaki. It's important to establish a base of operations and you two both know people in the Synchro Dimension. So we're going to send both of you to the Synchro Dimension as soon as possible. We'll need you two to find allies that you're absolutely able to trust and get them to join our cause against Academia." Reiji states as Yu nods.
"That shouldn't be a problem. There's one person there in Synchro Dimension that I'm willing to trust." Takes out two cards. "These two cards could be a gift for him then."
"What is it?"
"Black Feather Cards. These two can be very helpful for this deck and it won't be a hindrance to him to add it to his deck." Yu said as he pockets. "When do you want us to go to the Synchro Dimension then?"
"Tomorrow in the morning. It'll take two days for everyone's duel disk to be ready by then so you have a day. Is that understood?"
"Yes, that's understandable Reiji. We'll be heading off then." Misaki said as the two of thems walked away and Yu realized something.
"Where are you going to sleep anyways?"
"I didn't think about it. If I can, could I stay at your place? I also need a place to put my D-Wheel at."
"Sure. It's the least I can do after what happened. The others are taking beds so I'll take the couch."
"No it's fine! I just need a place to stay and a place to put my D-Wheel. I'm your guest so I should be the one sleeping on the couch."
Yu ignores Misaki as the two made it to the garage and goes to Misaki's D-Wheel. "Hey. Can I drive us back to the apartment? You don't know the way and if we're going to Synchro, I'm going to need to practice my D-Wheeling skills."
"Absolutely not! You're not driving it! Instead you'll get this." Misaki takes off an attached part and tosses it to Yu as it opens up to a motorized skateboard. "You can use that. It's as fast as my D-Wheel which is 200 km/hr. But we should go slow. You know how to use a skateboard?"
"Somewhat. But not really. Rather use a motorcycle then a skateboard but pickers can't be choosers." Yu gets on his feet as he looks at two holes. "Do these where the feet go?"
"Yeah. It's to make sure that you don't fall off at anytime. Raise your foot to brake but push down to accelerate. Try it out."
Yu was hesitant as he inserts his feet into the slots and puts the belts around his legs and push his legs down as it started slowly before going extremely fast as Yu was zooming through Maiami City. Soon he saw Misaki following him with a chuckle.
"How is it? You having fun?"
"It's not that different from a D-Wheel in terms of speed but I'll get used to it." Yu catches up to a person with blond hair in a purple motorcycle which catches Yu's attention. "Ms. Sakaki! Is that you?"
"Ah hey Yu! Enjoying the night right now?"
"Well something like that. Where on Earth did you get this thing!?"
"Oh this thing is a relic of my glory days. Before I met Yusho. Looks like that skateboard has a lot of horsepower. You make it?"
"No." Misaki interjects as she catches up to the three. "I made this D-Wheel and the D-Board from scratch. Engine and all."
"Wow. This girl knows his stuff. Is this someone of interest, Yu? She does look young." Yoko comments as Yu blushes before shaking his head.
"Ms. Sakaki! No! I just met her! Anyway since we're all together like this, how bout a race!?"
"A race? You caught my interest. To where?" Misaki asked with a cocky smile.
"The shopping district of Maiami City I propose. We all know where it is sort of. Winner… eh. Let's not make it into a bet. What do you guys say?"
"That does sound interesting. Alright. I agree to your terms. Misaki?"
"I'm down for it. I know where it is from here."
"Ok. Let's go!"
DUEL!
The three raced through the streets while the cops were unaware of the whole thing. However it was pretty clear that Yoko was first place with Misaki in second and Yu in third.
"Holy cow that lady was fast! We weren't even close to her." Yu comments as Misaki slowly nods.
"Agreed. There is no way we can beat her."
"That was a fun race you two. Unfortunately for you I had more experience then you two combined. And I know the roads so shortcuts and such are my expertise. With that said, bye now!" Yoko drives away as Yu and Misaki look at each other and laughed at how ridiculously they lost.
*Later that night*
*Yu's dream*
Yu was standing in front a person that had grey hair and a white coat. The zones in front of them looked differently as Yu grips his hand in anger.
"I will stop Eve and Genesis Omega Dragon won't be awakened!" Yu calls out as the other person nods.
"Then show me you're strong enough to fight with us. I will determine if you're ready in this new format." The other person calls out as Yu nods and activates his Duel Disk.
"Right Revolver!"
"Action Field: On! Crossover!" Cards are thrown around the two as the two duelists look at each other.
"Duel!"
(Playing Thousand Foot Krutch - War of Change (Andy Hunter Remix) Even though this is a non real duel, I'm counting this duel as an actual duel so it gets a song. And the remixed version sounds way better then the actual thing)
Yu - LP 4000
Revolver - LP 4000
"My turn!" Yu calls out as he looks at his cards. "I got it. I activate the effects of Millenium Puzzle and Millenium Scale in my extra deck! I can use them and set them into my Pendulum Scale! I using my scale 0 Millenium Puzzle and Scale 13 Millenium Scale, I set the Pendulum Scale! With this I can summon monsters with Levels 1 through 12 simultaneously! With the stakes of the five dimensions high, bring forth the power to defend all those that are at risk! Pendulum Summon! Appear Psychic Prodigy (Lv 4, 800 Atk) and Golden Dreamlight Dragon (Lv 7, 2800 Atk)!"
"This is the famous Pendulum Summoning? It's flashy, that'll I admit. But you made a crucial mistake. Without Link Monsters, you can't summon more than one Extra Deck monster. So eventually you can only summon one of those Pendulum Monsters back."
"You're right. But due to Reiji's brilliance I can play in this game! Appear in front of us! The circuit that opens us in the five dimensions! The summoning conditions are two effect monsters with one being a tuner monster! I set Psychic Prodigy and Golden Dreamlight Dragon in the Link Markers! Supporter that helps your friend of Synchro! Become the light that it shines upon! Link Summon! Appear Link 2! Junk Connector! (Link: 4, 1600 Atk). I set two cards facedown and my turns is over."
"I see you know how to Link Summon. Looks like Spectre's teachings didn't go to waste. My turn draw! When you control a Link Monster, I can Special Summon Gateway Dragon from my hand! (Lv 4, 1600 Atk) Then I activate its monster effect! Once per turn, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Dark Dragon from my hand! Come forth Sniffer Dragon! (Lv 2, 800 Atk)."
"You can summon a Link 2 already by using only two cards. And without Pendulum summoning. That's amazing."
"I'm not done. I activate Sniffer Dragon's monster effect! I can add a Sniffer Dragon from my deck to my hand! Then I normal summon it!" Three dragons appear on Revolvers field. "I'm not going to stop here! Appear! The future circuit that lights up my path! The summoning conditions are two Dark Dragons! I set the two Sniffer Dragons in the Link Markers! Link Summon! Appear, Link 2 Dillingerous Dragon! (Link 2, 1600 Atk) Next I activate the quick play magic: Quick Launch! I can Special Summon a Rokket from my deck and summon it to my field! Come on out, the last Sniffer Dragon!"
"You can summon a Link 4! No way." Yu comments as he gets ready. 'Revolver is sure amazing at dueling. But I got to be ready.'
"Appear! The future circuit that lights up my path! The summoning requirements are 2 effect monsters! When a Link Monster is used for a Link Summon, they are treated as number of materials equal to their Link Rating! I set Sniffer Dragon, Gateway Dragon, and the Link 2 Dillingerous Dragon in the Link Markers! Link Summon! Appear, Link 4 Topologic Bomber Dragon! (Link 4, 3000 Atk) Let's battle! Topologic Bomber Dragon attacks Junk Connector! Ultimate Malicious Code!"
Yu rushes for an Action Card and grabs one. With the new Link Format, Pendulum Zones are now in the leftmost and rightmost columns of the Spell and Trap Zones. And since Yu's monsters in the Pendulum Zones can't be destroyed, Yu can really only use three spell and trap zones.
"I activate the Action Magic: Damage Banish! With this, I negate battle damage!" Yu comments as his monster is destroyed.
"Well then Topologic Bomber Dragon's effect activates! After attacking your monster, you take damage equal to your monster's original attack! So take 1700 points of damage! Aiming Blast!"
Yu - LP 4000 → 2300
"But you activated Junk Connector's effect! When this monster is destroyed, I can summon a Junk monster from my Extra Deck! It's treated as a Synchro Summon! Come forth! Junk Speeder! (Lv 5, 1800 Atk). I activate it's effect! When its Synchro Summoned, I can special summon as many Tuners from my deck! Come on out: Junk Synchron, Turbo Synchron, and Jet Synchron!"
"You strengthen your defense huh? I end my turn then."
"My turn! Draw! You shouldn't have attacked my Junk Connector because now I can go forward! Appear in front of us! The circuit that opens us the five dimensions! Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning conditions are at least three effect monsters! I set Junk Speeder, Junk Synchron, Turbo Synchron, and Jet Synchron in the Link Markers! Circuit Combine! Titanic dragon! With the strength of eight canons destroy all that oppose you! Link Summon! Manifest, Borreload Dragon! (Link: 4, 3000 Atk)"
"So you took and use my monster? It looks like you are understanding how Link monsters and the Extra Monster Zone is working. That's good. We're going to need everything if we're going to win against Eve. Luckily the Knights of Hanoi, Playmaker, and Soulburner know that they're outmatched and they teamed up with you Lancers."
"Right. We got to stop Genesis Omega Dragon from being taken at all costs. So I'll prove you my skills right now, Revolver! Pendulum Summon! Appear Tuning Support! (Lv 1, 100 Atk) and Psychic Prodigy! Then I make Psychic Prodigy a Level 7 due to its effect! I tune the Level 1 Tuning Support to the Level 7 Psychic Prodigy! Rend the obsidian darkness! Scorch Heaven and Earth! Isolated, absolute King! Glare at all creation and display your ferocious might! Synchro Summon! Jeweled Red Dragon Archfiend! (Lv 8, 3000 Atk) Tuning Support allows me to draw a card when it's used for a Synchro Summon!"
"Oh? You can synchro summon as well? Interesting but it's too bad! Topologic Bomber Dragon's effect activates! When a monster is summoned to a link marker on this field, all monster in the main monster zone is destroyed! Full Overlap!"
"I send Effect Veiler to the graveyard to activate its effect! I negate your monster's effect until the end of this turn! Don't get so hasty Revolver! Our duel is far from over!"
"Then show me the power of the Ultimate Duelist!"
"Right! Jeweled Red Dragon Archfiend's effect! I can destroy one monster that you control and you take damage equal to their attack! Crimson Hell Burn!"
Revolver - LP 4000 → 1000
"How'd you like that!?" Yu said with a chuckle as Revolver shakes his head.
"You celebrate too early! When I take effect damage, I can special summon Speedloader Dragon from my hand! (Lv 6, 2400 Atk) Then I gain half of the damage taken and you take the damage that I did! Lose by your own card effect!"
Revolver - LP 1000 → 2500
Yu - LP 2300 → 0
"I activate Millenium Puzzle's Pendulum effect! If my Life Points reaches zero, once per duel, I can banish half of my deck facedown and negate the damage done to me! Resurrection of tome!"
Yu - LP 0 → 2300
"That was a close call… But you're field is empty! Battle! Borreload Dragon attacks Speedloader Dragon! Thunder Varrel Cannon!" Yu calls out as Revolver grabs an action card and activates it as Yu smirks. "Don't even bother! Borreload Dragon's monster effect activates. I can target a monster and it loses 500 attack and defense until the end phase! And you can't respond to this effect! Anti-Enemy Vullet!" (2400 → 1900 Atk)
Revolver- LP 2500 → 1400
"Next Jeweled Red Dragon Archfiend attacks you directly! Absolute Hell Judgement!"
"I activate the Action Magic: Great Escape! With this effect, the battle phase ends!" Revolver calls out.
"I end my turn…"
"My turn! I activate the Field Magic: Boot Sector Launch! All Rokket monsters on the field gain 300 attack and defense! I activate it's effects letting me summon two Anesthrokket Dragons from my hand! (Lv 1, 0 Atk) Then I activate the Action Magic: Free Draw! Letting me draw a card! I activate the magic card: Squib Draw! I tribute one Anesthrokket Dragon to the graveyard to draw two cards! Next I summon the tuner monster, Rokket Synchron! (Lv 1, 300 Atk) Rokket Synchron's monster effect activates! When this monster is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a Level 5 or higher Dark Dragon monster from my graveyard but it's effects are negated and is destroyed at the end phase! Come forth, Speedburst Dragon! (Lv 6, 600 Def)"
"Rokket Synchron!? You can't be… "
"I can be!" The monsters on Revolver's field start to tune in a more high tech fashion. "Level 1 Rokket Synchron tunes Level 1 Anesthrokket Dragon and Level 6 Speedburst Dragon! Heroic dragon! Fire by transforming your ferocious fangs into bullets! Synchro Summon! Come forth Level 8! Borreload Savage Dragon! (Lv 8, 3000 Atk)"
"The mad man! He actually Synchro Summoned!"
"You showed a decent display… But this is the best that you can do! Borreload Savage Dragon's effect activates! When it's Synchro Summoned, it treats a Link Monster in the graveyard as an Equip Card and equip it. And gains a Borrel Counter for each of its Link Markers. I equip Topologic Bomber Dragon! (Borrel Counter = 4) Borreload Savage Dragon's additional effect! It gains half the equipped monster's attack! Topologic Bomber Dragon has 3000 attack!" (3000 → 4500 Atk) "Battle! Borreload Savage Dragon attacks Borreload Dragon!"
Yu - LP 2300 → 800
"I end my turn. You have one turn to win."
'Cards. I am begging you right now. Give me something to help me win this duel!' Yu places his hand on his deck and draws. "Got it! Final Turn! Guided in this new world, break the dimensional shift and create a new future! Pendulum Summon! Appear Psychic Prodigy! (Lv 8, 800 Atk) Next I activate the magic card: Monster Reborn bringing back Junk Synchron! (Lv 3, 1300 Atk)"
"Borreload Savage Dragon's effect activates! Once per turn, by using one Borrel Load Counter, I can negate the activation of your card!"
"Millenium Scale's Pendulum effect activates! Once per turn, I send a card from the top from my deck to the graveyard I can make either magic, traps, or monsters cannot have their effects negated. I'll choose magic cards. Junk Synchron is now on my field. Psychic Prodigy becomes level 1 due to its effect. Time to end this! Burning Soul!" White energy surrounds Yu as his pupils have a glow of white as Yu prepares to chant. "You ready Revolver!? Because this is my true power! Take it! Level 1 Psychic Prodigy and Level 3 Junk Synchron double tunes with Level 8 Jeweled Red Dragon Archfiend! The king and devil now merge here! Rugged soul! Give the roar that created heaven and earth! Synchro Summon! Come, Red Nova Dragon!" (Lv 12, 3500 Atk)
"Double tuning? You have an evolved form of Synchro Summoning? But it's pointless. You monster doesn't have enough attack to beat Borreload Savage Dragon!"
"Foolish! Red Nova Dragon has an effect! It gains 500 attack for each tuner monster in my graveyard! There are three tuners in my graveyard so Red Nova Dragon gains 1500 Attack! (3500 → 5000 Atk) Battle! Red Nova Dragon attacks Borreload Savage Dragon! Burning Soul!" Revolver goes for an action card as Yu remains calm.
"Action Magic: Evasion! I negate your attack! What will you do? This is the end of the road for you!"
"That would be the case if it weren't for this card! I activate the quick play magic: Double Up Chance! My monster can attack again with double the attack points! (5000 → 10000 Atk) Red Nova Dragon attacks Borreload Savage Dragon! Burning Soul!"
Revolver - LP 1400 → 0
Yu wins!
'That was intense…'
The dream shifts to a women as she holds a glowing card as Yu runs towards her but a flashing light wakes Yu up. Yu woke up confused about the dream. It felt strangely real as he shakes his head. He had a massive migraine that was killing him and took a couple of pills before seeing a package on the counter of the kitchen. He opens it to reveal his and Misaki's Duel Disks. They both looked better as Yu holds up his which was surprisingly light and attaches it to his arm and goes through it. He sees the activation of an Action Field: Crossover as he thinks about it later. He puts his Extra Deck into it's slot and his main deck into the normal slot as Misaki leaves the door looking refreshed.
"Good sleep?" Yu said as Misaki nods with a smile. "I'll make us a quick bite and we'll be off."
"Thanks."
Yu quickly make some bacon and eggs and the two eat their meal quickly before they head to the garage and gather around the D-Wheel.
"This should be how we teleport to the Synchro Dimension basing on the instructions that Reiji inputted into these." Misaki said as the two nods and they tap the duel disks and they're instantly teleported
(Synchro Dimension)
Yu and Misaki appeared on a bridge that looks strangely familiar to him. Then it hit him like a massive brick towards the face.
"This is the bridge where I got arrested!" Yu points out as he sees a scratch on the pole. "Definitely the place. Which means I know how to get to Crow's place."
"Perfect. Then lead the way for me then." Yu takes off the board and zooms on first with Misaki closely following behind as Yu thought about his dream from last night.
'That dream didn't seem fake at all. Like it was telling the future for him and that he was going to have to do something drastic in the future. Against a bigger and more sinister force then Academia. But what interested him was the man, Revolver and Link Monsters. It slowed the pace for me as I had to use multiple monsters to Link Summon before being able to call out monsters from the extra deck which included Pendulum monsters. But what also interest me was the fact that he had a multiple Link Monsters and an evolved version of Red Dragon Archfiend but Red Nova Dragon was the same.'
Yu and Misaki reach Crow's place as he and Shinji were working on their D-Wheel when they hear the two come in.
"Yu! Misaki! You're back!" Crow says as he runs up to the two. "Glad to see you guys. It's been forever for both of you two… Oh do you two know each other?"
"We met a couple of days ago and the two of us have been planning out a couple of things. But seeing you was definitely one of them. We need to talk to you about some stuff if that's alright." Yu asks as Crow nods when he sees Yu's serious expression.
"Of course. Let's take this inside." Crow, Yu, Misaki, and Shinji walk inside. "Water anyone?"
"I'm good."
"I'll take a glass Crow." Misaki said as Crow hands her a cup of water before sitting down. "So what's so serious?"
"Well you know that I came looking for someone right?" Crow and Shinji nods. "Well they're coming into the area and they're going to need a place to stay. Let's just say that they have a leverage on the Tops that won't do so well if it got out."
"So then they're wanted by the Tops?" Shinji asks as Yu nods. "Normally I wouldn't condemn something like this but this is too good of an opportunity to pass. If we can overthrow the tops and have something for us commoners then I say we help them."
"Hold on Shinji. That's crazy talk first of all. Secondly, what will happen when Sector Security comes towards our door?"
"We'll take care of them then. We'll duel them down to submission. There's quite a number of us, I think we can hold them down."
"Alright then. That's a game plan. When will they be here and when?" Shinji asks as Yu looks at his duel disk.
"Tomorrow. I don't know when but sometime during the day. But for now, how are you two and the kids doing?"
"Struggling as always. It's not getting any easier that's for sure. We scavenge what we can find." Crow comments as Misaki shakes her head.
"Same old same old?"
"You got that right."
'With that. I end my turn… That's game isn't it?'
'It's my turn isn't it? Draw!'
"Huh?"
My move! I activate the magic card free time! I can add more words to the limit! From 2000 to 5000. Then I activate No School! My Word Count becomes doubled! With that, I end my turn.
My move! I activate School! You lose numbers in your word count! From 10000 to 6000! Next I activate Physics! You lose 2000 words!
Grrh! You're strong!
So you're wondering what's the point of this skit. This is to show why my words per chapter is smaller. Now you're wondering why I had a duel with Revolver from Yugioh Vrains. Call it a little foreshadowing into the future. Originally I hated Link Summoning but now I've become a bit more tolerant. This chapter will be split into two parts as the next one will not be for another two weeks so you'll understand the Vanguard part of this chapter. With that being said. This is NexusMC signing off! Stay classy!
