Yu starts pacing back and forth rather aggressively which is starting to annoy Serena as she looks at the screen. "Drat… I'm next. Oi! Yu!"
Yu remains silent as he looks both worried and angry at the same time before a pillow smacks his head as he turns around. "What?!"
"You can't stay here any longer… The guards are going to be here soon." Serena comments looking around. "Go to the hospital and find your sister if it's eating you up so much! I'm going to be alright."
"Are you sure?" Yu asks a bit hesitant about it. The girl nods as both of them hear footsteps from outside as Serena grabs Yu and pushes him behind the bed. The door opens up as the two security guard takes her away. After the footsteps disappeared, Yu stood up before looking at his hand. "Did I just grope Serena on accident? I'm actually glad for her lack of self-awareness for once. Otherwise, I'd be dead…"
Yu slowly walks to the door and opens it after realizing that the guards don't lock the doors while the contestant is out dueling as he exits the room looking through the hallways before seeing a vent and thinks about going for it before remembers something and he avoids it. He runs through the hallways making his way past certain guards. He eventually made his way to the area where he sees well-dressed people watching the duel.
Yu looks at the monitors seeing Serena's duel as she looks like she's winning her duel easily. Not wanting to get caught, Yu walks past the exit making his way out towards the streets of New Domino City.
"So apparently, there are three of them are here? Man. This is going to be fun." Yuri states watching over the city before looking at the TV seeing a medical truck taking Avery to a hospital near the stadium. "Guess that's my first stop. Let the hunt begin, then."

Chapter 21: Like a Mirror
"I figured something wasn't exactly go my way…" Yu looks over the rooftop of a nearby building to see a bunch of Sector Security Officers standing around, patrolling the scene around the hospital. He looks around trying to find an opening with no such luck. "Damn it… What can I do in this situation? Dueling all of them at once is out of the case. They'll most likely just swarm me and hit me, knocking me out as they did in prison. I need to be stealthy if I'm going to see Avery. I guess I need to wait until night then… That's probably the best time I can strike... I don't like this. Who knows what could happen to her? I'm just so worried about her… Get your head out of it, Yu! You need to find a way to get in there. It can't be too hard."
Time passes as Yu looks through his deck while examining possible points of entry. The front was a definite no and going in through the windows was too suspicious. He had thought of going through the windows but it would be noticed easily by people outside and also thought of going in through the back, but there were a few guards inspecting the people going in and the cargo they were taken into the building.
"Vents are probably my last option. Though that leaves two problems. One, I don't know where exactly to look. Avery could be anywhere… Two, vents could make a lot of loud noise drawing all the guards toward me like a pack of flesh-eating zombies. Three, the entrance is too small for my body to fit in!" Yu yells out in anger before flopping on his back. He hears the roar of a D-Wheel as he looks up to see Yugo is riding a D-Wheel off the freeway onto the rooftop of the hospital in front of Yu.
"Eh? Where did you come from?" Yu questions as Yugo removes his helmet. "We have the same face…"
"We do… It's like looking in the mirror." Yugo questions looking at Yu. "Do I know you from somewhere?"
"You're getting the same feeling… Wait. You're Yugo?!" Yu questions pointing at Yugo who looks at Yu before gives a look like he's realizing something.
"Oi! It's you! You're the one that took, Rin! Am I right?!" Yugo exclaims pointing his finger at Yu who just stares in shock from the accusation. Yugo says activating his duel disk. "Answer the question! You're the one who took Rin! Where did you take her?!"
"Oi! Hold up a second! You're mistaking me for someone else! I didn't take Rin!" Yu says trying to defend himself even though he knows that his opponent isn't going to let up. "Tsk. Fine. I'll make you listen the hard way, Yugo!"
"Action Field: On! Crossover!" Yu's duel disk says as platforms form around the two with cards shooting around them.
"Duel!" Yu and Yugo exclaim at the same time.
Yu - LP 4000
Yugo - LP 4000
"My turn!" Yu says looking at his hand before picking out a card. "I summon Synchron Explorer, Nitro! (Lv 2, 300 Atk) Nitro's monster effect! When normal summoned, I can add the field spell: Synchron Sanctuary from my deck to my hand. Then I activate the field spell: Synchron Sanctuary! By tributing one Pendulum Synchron monster from my field, I choose two Synchron Explorers from my deck and set them into my Pendulum Zones! Using the Scale 1 Synchron Explorer: Junk and the Scale 8 Synchron Explorer: Formula to construct the Pendulum Scale!"
The words Pendulum filled on his Duel disk as two pillars of light open up behind.
"Pendulum? You use the same summoning method as Sawatari and the others?" Yugo questions.
"Oh come on! You saw my duel, didn't you against Aporia, didn't you?!" Yu exclaims in irritation as he looks at Yugo. He lets out a sigh before lifting his duel disk. "Synchron Sanctuary effect! Once per turn, when I control no monsters in my Main Monster Zones, I can add one Pendulum Synchron Monster from either faceup from my extra deck or from my deck! I'll add the Level 4 Synchron Explorer: Hyper! Guided in this new world! Break the dimensional shift and create a new future! Pendulum Summon! Appear my monsters! Appear from my extra deck: Synchron Explorer Nitro, Synchron Explorer: Hyper (Lv 4, 800 Atk), and Synchron Explorer: Tuning Supporter (Lv 1, 300 Atk)."
"Summoning a lot. As usual." Yugo comments looking at the cards before thinking about it a bit. "Hold on a second…"
"Synchron Explorers can be treated tuners or non-tuners in a Synchro Summon! I tune the Level 1, Synchron Supporter: Tuning Supporter and Level 2, Synchron Explorer, Nitro to the Level 4 Hyper Synchron!" Yu exclaims as the monsters start to form lines into a path before Yu starts chanting. "Pure white dragon with unblemished wings! Descend upon the battlefield with the speed of light and slash apart every enemy in your path! Synchro Summon! Appear before me, Level 7! Clearwing Fast Dragon! (Lv 7, 2500 Atk)"
The shiny dragon slowly descends in front of the two people as Yugo looks straight at it.
"At this time, I activate the effects of Synchron Explorers: Nitro, Hyper, and Tuning Support! When used for Synchro Summoning, I can activate their effects. Nitro deals 500 points of damage towards you!" Yu yells out, pointing his finger at Yugo.
Yugo - 4000 →3500
"Hyper's effect! Clearwing Fast Dragon gains 800 attack! (2500 → 3300 Atk) And Tuning Support lets me draw one card! I set two cards facedown and end my turn!" Yu yells out before patiently waiting for his opponent.
"Get your head straight Yugo! For Rin!" Yugo exclaims before drawing a card from his deck.
"Trying to tell you mate. I'm not the one who took her! Why would I even be here if I took her? Why would I take her?" Yu questions in confusion with a sigh.
"You're after that girl then! Avery! She looks just like Rin!" Yugo says as a counterargument with Yu getting extremely irritated.
"She's my sister damn it!" Yu exclaims.
"You look nothing alike!" Yugo says as a comeback.
"She's adopted!" Yu yells with heavy breaths before readying his Duel Disk.
"How should I believe you!? Eugh… This is going in circles! You're just trying to mess with my head!" Yugo yells before looking at his hand. "I summon Speed Roid Bamboo Horse from my hand! (Lv 4, 1100 Atk) And using Bamboo Horse's effect, I Special Summon my Tuner Monster Speed Roid Three-Eyed Dice from my hand! (Lv 3, 300 Atk)"
"A Level 7 Synchro Monster is coming!"
"I tune the Level 4 Speed Roid Bamboo Horse to the Level 3 Speed Roid Three-Eyed Dice!" Yugo says as his extra deck opens up before letting out a chant. "Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings. Strike down our enemies at light speed! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 7! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon! (Lv 7, 2500 Atk)"
Both dragons of white slowly look at each other letting out roars gripping both duelists hearts.
"This pain…" Yugo grunts gripping his chest, wincing at this pain.
"Just like last time…" Yu yells out.
"Well ain't this quite the scene." A voice appears from out of nowhere. Yu and Yugo slowly look around to see Yuri watching the duel. "And I see a few familiar faces."
"Yuri!" Yu winces dropping to one of his knee. "Why the hell are you here?"
"Is he your ally? I'll take you both on then!" Yugo exclaims.
"I'm not your enemy! He is! He's the one who took Rin to the Fusion Dimension!" Yu scowls as he stands up.
"Oh, you didn't have to spoil the fun, now. I wanted to see more of your duel." Yuri says before jumping in front of them. "You caught my interest, the first time I saw you when you infiltrated Academia. Because of you, we had to move them to a new location. You can tell how angry, old Akaba was after that."
"I don't really care about any of that… I can tell that you heard our conversation. I won't let you get to Avery!" Yu says readying his duel disk.
"Very well then. I'll be joining in. I hope that you'll entertain me as I hope you will." Yuri activates his duel disk.
Yuri - LP 4000
"This is all ways of messed up… It's hurting my head. I set one card facedown and end my turn."
"My turn! Draw! I summon Predplant Ophrys Scorpio! (Lv 3, 1200 Atk) When Ophrys Scorpio is summoned, I can send a Predplant card from my hand to the graveyard and Special Summon a Level 3 or lower Predplant from my deck." Yuri says placing a card into his duel disk before adding another one to his hand. "I send Predplant Stapelia Worm from my hand to the graveyard. And from my deck, I Special Summon Predplant Darling Cobra! (Lv 3, 1000 Atk) When Darling Cobra is Special Summoned, I can add Fusion from my deck to my hand."
"Oi! My name is Yugo not Fusion!" (You should get this joke by now) Yugo yells in irritation as Yu gives his teammate a look of pity.
'The pronunciation is very similar…'
"In any ace. I activate the magic card: Fusion! I fuse together Ophrys Scorpio and Darling Cobra on my field. Two Beautiful flower with an insect-alluring fragrance. Now become one, From a hell under your petals, Give birth to another terror! Fusion Summon! Appear, poisonous dragon with hungering fangs! Level 8! - Starve Venom Fusion Dragon! (Lv 8, 2800 Atk)"
The three dragons roars out in anger with the three duelists feeling a surge of emotions from inside them. Yu and Yugo look like they're in even more pain then before, though it looks like Yuri is personally enjoying it.
"This feeling! I never felt anything like this!" Yuri lets out in laughter looking at his opponents. "This rush! It's addicting!"
"There is seriously something wrong with this guy…" Yugo comments groaning.
"Battle! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon attacks Clearwing Synchro Dragon!" Yuri yells as his dragon shoots vines to destroy the dragon.
"Clearwing Fast Dragon monster effect! Once during either player's turn, I can negate one monster's effect and drop their attack to zero! I choose Starving Venom Dragon! You're not getting any one of us! Vanishing Mirror!"
"I don't think so!" Yuri says with a smile before taunting the two with one card. "I activate the quick play magic: Dimensional Rift! If you control a monster type with a different summoning method then me, I can negate your monster's effect! Continue the battle!"
"I activate the continuous trap: Burning Sonic! I negate the attack and Clearwing Synchro Dragon gains 500 attack! (2500 → 3000 Atk)" Yugo says looking slightly better as he readies his D-Wheel.
"So you had a counter to that? Very well. I set a card facedown. And end my turn." Yuri says before pointing at Yu. "Don't disappoint me, now."
"Hmph. My turn. Draw!" Yu looks at the card drawn. 'Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon… I could use it and my other monsters from my extra deck to Synchro Summon and then Xyz Summon into Dark Anthelion Dragon. No.'
Before Yu could do anything, lights from all directions appeared around the group. D-Wheels and helicopters surrounded the three with light pointing straight at them.
"Sector Security?!" Yugo exclaims as Yuri lets out a disappointed tone.
"They couldn't wait a little longer before interrupting us. Guess we'll have to postpone our match. Seeya, Yu, Fusion!" Yuri says before jumping away leaving Yu and Yugo by themselves alone on the roof.
Duel Terminated. Program downloaded...
"Damn it… I can't go back yet. Without seeing if she's alright." Yu comments as he looks around for different ways. Yugo sees how desperate Yu before making a decision.
"Oi! Yu! Hop on!" Yugo yells out with his mirrored self looks over in confusion. "Hurry up!"
"Fine!" Yu runs over and hops onto Yugo's D-Wheel as the two jump onto the highway with a bunch of D-Wheels and helicopters are chasing after them. "Man they're really after me!"
"Seriously? They're all here because of you?! What the heck did you do to piss of Sector Security so much?"
"I pissed off their boss, that's what!" Yu turns around to see a familiar face. "Tyler?! Is that you?!"
The figure remains quiet as he presses a button on his D-Wheel activating it as Yu's duel disk suddenly activates. "Eh?! What the hell?"
"This is the automated dueling virus." Roget pops up in the screen in front of Yugo. "You're really making this quite irritating. This particular game of cat and mouse is going to get you nowhere."
"Not my fault that you forced us into a gloried doom match for us Lancers!" Yu exclaims looking at Tyler. "Damn it man."
"How about a double wager? If you duel Tyler, your friend here won't be chased. If you don't… well we don't want to know what happens next."
"Hold up! Why should he accept this duel in the first place?! What's in it for him?" Yugo states steering his D-Wheel around a corner.
"I'm getting to that part. If you win this duel, I'll tell you where Avery is and be one step closer. Because she isn't at the hospital now. But if you lose the duel, you'll be heading to the facility. The Quarantine Cells where you'll never live to see the day again. How does that sound?"
"Roget you snake…" Yu growls before looking at Yugo and then back at Tyler. The boy looks at his pendant before shaking his head.
"Yu…"
"I'll do it! I'll accept this duel!" Yu says before turning around. He readies his duel disk before looking at Yugo. "I still got a bit to talk to you… But if Misaki trusts you, then I will. Rin is at the Fusion Dimension. How you'll get there, I don't know. I just wish you the best of luck mate."
"... You too. I hope you find your sister safely." Yugo says with a faint smile while looking straight. "You know. We're not that different then besides our faces."
"Huh. I'm not the only one that notices it?" Yu jumps off Yugo's D-Wheel and lands on Tyler's before jumping again landing on one of the patrol officer's D-Wheels.
"Huh?!" The Patrol Officer exclaims about the situation he was in.
"I need to borrow this!" Yu kicks the officer off his D-Wheel before attaching his Duel Disk towards it before catching up to Tyler. He looks over to see Tyler's eyes completely devoid of any colorization, almost in a trance like state. 'What the heck happen to you…'
Wassup my homies! This is NexusMHX here with another chapter of The Human! And let me tell you something, I know you feel like you were left hanging from what could have been a climatic duel. CAUSE THAT'S HOW I FELT WHEN I WATCHED PART OF ARC-V! Plus ain't it too early for a climatic duel between Yu and any of the other Yu boys? In any case, I made some modifications to the deck, with a few of them having additional effects because their Synchro Summoned only effects were not enough ( Ignister is a prime example of all of this nonsense, blame A.I. and Konami not me) so I decided to give them a buff to make the deck more consistent and such. In any case, this is NexusMHX signing off! If you enjoyed, don't forget to follow/favorite/comment for more content! Stay Classy!
