Chapter 9
The Dragon with Purple Eyes

Hiraki's eyes were now glowing brighter and his hair had gotten spikier. Meanwhile, Lucas observed him with a smug on his face while Jarid appeared to be startled.

Hiraki LP: 3900
Jarid LP: 3600
Lucas LP: 3800

"I draw!" Hiraki declared."From my hand, I summon Cyber Dragon Core in ATK mode!" A small machine monster appeared on the field, wiggling red wires coming from its body.

Cyber Dragon Core Level 2, Light, Machine, ATK: 400, DEF: 1500

"Bravo. You summon a weak monster in ATK mode just like that." Jarid scoffed.

Hiraki responded with a smirk, making Jarid raised an eyebrow."While on the field, Cyber Dragon Core is treated as a "Cyber Dragon." He touched the screen of his Duel Disk and raised his hand."Next, I activate the Trap Card: Attack Reflector Unit! I can tribute Cyber Dragon Core, who is now treated as a "Cyber Dragon", to Special Summon a Cyber Barrier Dragon from my Deck in ATK mode!" Hiraki grabbed the card and proceed it to set it on his field. Cyber Core Dragon disappeared and was replaced by a bigger metal dragon.

Cyber Barrier Dragon Level 6, Light, Machine, ATK: 800, DEF: 2800

"Turn end." Hiraki stated.

"You'll regret leaving your monster exposed like that! Draw!" Jarid cried out."I'll activate my own Return of the Dragon Lords to revive my Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"

Red-Eyes Black Dragon Level 7, Dark, Dragon, ATK: 2400, DEF: 2000

Red-Eyes reappeared on the field, letting out a loud roar."But he won't be staying here for long, because I'll banish it from the game in order to Special Summon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon from my hand! Come forth from the flames of oblivion!" A huge crater opened up in the middle of the floor as lava geyser erupted from within it, containing a black dragon. Once the lava dissipated, Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon roared, removing the remaining lava on its body.

Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon Level 10, Dark, Dragon, ATK: 2800, DEF: 2400

"Darkness Metal Dragon's effect activates! Once per turn, I can Special Summon one Dragon-Type monster from my hand or Graveyard except a copy of itself! Appear now! My Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!"

Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon Level 7, Dark, Dragon, ATK: 2400, DEF: 2000

"To terminate the preparations for the upcoming Battle Phase, I'll activate Black Metal Dragon's effect from my hand! I can equip it to Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon and increase its ATK by 600!"

Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon ATK: 3400

"Battle! Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, destroy Cyber Barrier Dragon! Dark Burst!" Red-Eyes fired a dark blast towards Hiraki's monster.

"Cyber Barrier Dragon's effect activates now! Once per turn, when a monster attacks Cyber Barrier Dragon while it's in ATK position, it can negate the attack!" Cyber Barrier Dragon's head began to glow in green, nullifying the attack.

Jarid spat at Hiraki with an angry expression."Not bad, kid. But you're just delaying the inevitable. Turn end."

"Don't sweat it, Jarid." Lucas waved his hand."Once I get my turn, I'll start preparing our combo."

Jarid grinned and folded his arms."I see. It's about time we finish this guy anyway."

Hiraki cocked his head to the side."I wonder what they're planning."

"Whatever it is, it's not good for us. Don't lose focus." Kumai warned.

Hiraki nodded and drew a card."Alright! I activate the Spell Card: Pot of Greed! I can now draw 2 cards from my Deck!" He drew his cards and took one out from his hand."Next up, I summon Cyber Valley in ATK mode!"

Cyber Valley Level 1, Light, Machine, ATK: 0, DEF: 0

"I set a card face-down and end my turn." Hiraki concluded.

"Oh, I see what you're planning to do. I am quite familiar with your Cyber Valley's effect, so I won't be touching it for now." Lucas drew his card."Instead, I'll go with this! From my hand, I summon Protector with Eyes of Blue in ATK position!" A man with white hair and wearing blue armor appeared on the field, wielding his sword with his right hand.

Protector with Eyes of Blue Level 1, Light, Spellcaster, ATK: 800, DEF: 1300

"I activate Protector's Special Ability! When this card is successfully Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a Level 1 Light Tuner monster from my hand. I choose Maiden with Eyes of Blue!"

Maiden with Eyes of Blue Level 1, Light, Spellcaster, Tuner, ATK: 0, DEF: 0

"I will also use Protector's second Ability. I'll send Maiden with Eyes of Blue from my field to the Graveyard, in order to Special Summon 1 "Blue-Eyes" monster from my hand! Come! Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" A white lighting struck the bridge and with a loud roar, Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared next to Azure-Eyes.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon Level 8, Light, Dragon, ATK: 3000, DEF: 2500

"Furthermore, I tune my Level 1 Protector with Eyes of Blue with my Level 8 Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Proctor turned into green rings and surrounded Blue-Eyes."Sage with piercing eyes of blue and dragon of ultimate destruction! Combine your souls and forge an unbeatable spirit! Synchro Summon! Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon!" A bigger version of Blue-Eyes white Dragon manifested itself on the field, but it was even bigger and more ferocious than the previous one.

Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon Level 9, Light, Dragon, Synchro, ATK: 2500, DEF: 3000

"Now that's Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon has come to the field, neither player can Special Summon 2 or more monsters at the same time! Battle! Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon, destroy Cyber Barrier Dragon!"

"Cyber Barrier Dragon's effect activates! I negate your monster's attack!"

"Then I shall attack with Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon! Go! Destroy Cyber Valley!"

"Cyber Valley's effect! I can banish it from the game, draw 1 card, then end the Battle Phase!" Hiraki stated, drawing his card.

Lucas sighed."Just as expected. Well, I activate Azure-Eyes's effect. I can Special Summon 1 Normal Monster from my Graveyard! And I think you know which one it is."

Blue-Eyes White Dragon Level 8, Light, Dragon, ATK: 3000, DEF: 2500

"I set 1 face-down and leave it to you."

"My turn! Draw!"Hiraki glanced at his hand which was at 3.'There's really nothing I can do right now.' He thought, causing Kumai to reappeared on his shoulder.

"Nonsense. Use Card of Sanctity." Kumai suggested.

"Are you sure? Wouldn't I just be giving them free cards like I did with Akaba Reiji?"

"It's better to try out our luck. Remember, the cards that you possess right now aren't any good in this situation."

Hiraki frowned."Alright, let's try it out. I set 2 cards face-down!"

Jarid tilted his head."Wait, you're setting 2 cards?"

"Next I activate Card of Sanctity! We can all draw until we have 6 cards in our hands!"

Jarid and Lucas looked at each other before smirking."Well, isn't this great?"

Hiraki drew his 6 cards."Wait a minute...this is..."

-Flashback-

Back at the headquarters, Hiraki had just gotten his dinner and was not sitting down in one of the tables of the cafeteria, chewing a spoon full of his food."I'd say this thing needs more salt."

Kumai slowly appeared on top of Hiraki's head, drooling as he looked at the food."That looks soooo yummy! I wish I could eat like you do."

Before Hiraki could reply, he noticed that Akaba Reiji was now approaching him along with Reira."Huh? Akaba Reiji?"

Hiraki put his food aside and watched as Akaba Reiji stood before him, holding 3 cards."Before I begin, I must ask you, how do you find it here?"

Hiraki looked puzzled for a second."Well...I kinda like it? It's kinda cozy and the food is great. The only thing that messes things up is the fact that almost the entire city is in ruins."

"I see." Akaba Reiji nodded. He placed the cards on the table and slid them over to Hiraki."Since you arrived late, I didn't get the chance of giving you these cards properly. I'm sure you'll find them to be suitable for your deck." With that, Reiji turned around and walked away, leaving Hiraki speechless.

"What are you waiting for? I want to see what they are!" Kumai begged.

"Alright, alright. Calm down." Once Hiraki looked carefully at the cards, a rush of excitement ran through his body, almost making him fall out of his chair."Holy shit! No way!"

"Me like it!" Kumai exclaimed.

-Flashback ends-

"First, I'll activate the Spell Card: Cyber Technology Hardware! It can negate the effect of one of your monsters for the rest of this turn! I choose your Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Lucas!" A tornado came out of Hiraki's card, surrounding Blue-Eyes. Hiraki took 2 cards out of his hand and held them up in the air."I, with the Scale 1 Cyber Dragon Pouri and the Scale 8 Cyber-Zero Dragon, set the Pendulum Scale!"

Two columns of light appeared on Hiraki's sides, with his top monsters rising to their top.

"Pendulum scales? What the hell is that?" Jarid asked in confusion. Lucas remained silent, observing as Hiraki began to take the offensive.

"Now I can summon monsters from Level 2 to 7 simultaneously! Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my servant monsters!" A portal opened up above Hiraki, letting out 2 monsters."Level 4, Proto-Cyber Dragon and Level 5, Cyber Dragon!"

Proto-Cyber Dragon Level 4, Light, Machine, ATK: 1100, DEF: 600

Cyber Dragon Level 5, Light, Machine, ATK: 2100, DEF: 1600

Jarid's jaw dropped."What the hell just happened? He got 2 monsters out of the blue just like that?"

"That must be what Pendulum Summon is. Interesting." Lucas remarked.

Hiraki pointed at his right side, showing Cyber Dragon Pouri."I activate Cyber Dragon Pouri's Pendulum Effect! Once per turn, I can treat another monster on the Pendulum Scale as a "Cyber Dragon"as well as this one! Next, I activate Cyber-Zero Dragon's Pendulum Effect! I can Fusion Summon using monsters I control on both my field and Pendulum Zone! I choose Cyber Dragon Pouri, Cyber-Zero Dragon, and my Cy-"

"Don't use Cyber Dragon just yet." Kumai interjected.

Hiraki bit his lower lip and pointed at his Proto-Cyber Dragon."While on the field, Proto-Cyber Dragon is treated as a "Cyber Dragon". I'll use these 3 monsters to Fusion Summon!"

"He's not using Cyber Dragon as well?" Jarid wondered aloud.

Hiraki's Pendulum monsters, as well as Proto-Cyber Dragon, were absorbed by a multicolored vortex as Hiraki began to chant."Eternal evolution, the true meaning of perfect! Those who endlessly charge into the endless future will become the rulers of tomorrow! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Level 10! Cyber End Dragon!" Cyber End Dragon appared on the field, roaring loudly with its 3 heads as these coiled around.

Cyber End Dragon Level 10, Light, Machine, Fusion, ATK: 4000, DEF: 2800

"I-it can't be..." Jarid gasped in fear.

Lucas didn't take his eyes off of Hiraki's Cyber end."He managed to bring it...out?"

Hiraki rubbed his nose."How's that?! Freaking awesome!" Cyber Dragon let out a screech, catching Hiraki's attention."Cyber Dragon...?"

"He's calling out to you." Kumai stated, lowering his head."Same as that dragon that you have in your hand."

"Cyber Dragon Drei?"

"Feel the power, Hiraki. If we want to at least beat one of them, you'll need to go further beyond your own capabilities. Are you willing to do that?"

Hiraki nodded wordlessly and took out Cyber Dragon Drei from his hand."From my hand, I Summon Cyber Dragon Drei!"

Cyber Dragon Drei Level 4, Light, Machine, ATK: 1800, DEF: 800

Cyber Dragon Drei and Cyber Dragon screeched in unison."You guys..." Hiraki closed his eyes and smiled."I've heard your wishes...you want to get stronger, don't you? Well, let's win this together! Cyber Dragon Drei's effect activates! Once it's Normal Summoned on the field, I can increase its level by 1!"

Cyber Dragon Drei Level 5

"2 Level 5s? Wait, you don't mean..." Lucas turned to his brother.

"He's about to Xyz Summon...that sly bastard."

"Using my Level 5 Cyber Dragon and my now Level 5 Cyber Dragon Drei, construct the Overlay Network!" Both monsters turned into a stream of energy and were absorbed by a black vortex as Hiraki chanted."Now with the most advanced technology, Cyber Dragon has reached new evolution! He shall now have the power that exceeds even the mighty Chimeratech Dragons and obliterate everything in his path. Xyz Summon! Appear now! Rank 5! Cyber Dragon Nova!"

Cyber Dragon Nova Rank 5, Light, Machine, Xyz, ATK: 2100, DEF: 1600

"It's far from over!" Hiraki yelled, his eyes brighter even more to the point where his pupils weren't visible anymore."Using the Cyber Dragon Nova, I Xyz Summon this card! Rank Up! Xyz Change! Devour my enemies and smite them with lightning and lasers! Reveal your true form, dragon lord of the cybernetic world, Cyber Dragon Infinity!"

Cyber Dragon Infinity Rank 6, Light, Machine, Xyz, ATK: 2100, DEF: 1600

"Cyber Dragon infinity's effect activates now! It gains 200 ATK per each Overlay Unit it has! Currently, it has 3 Overlay Units!"

Cyber Dragon Infinity ATK: 2700

Hiraki panted heavily, mentally exhausted for all the energy that was consuming."I...Xyz Summoned? I hope Serena doesn't get mad about this." He rubbed the back of his head, his eyes pupils becoming visible once again.

"Good job, Hiraki. Now, let's concentrate on taking out the big monsters that they have. First, use Infinity's effect." Kumai suggested.

"I activate Cyber Dragon Infinity's effect! I can target one monster you control and turn it into an Overlay Unit! I'll use this effect on your Azure-Eyes! Evolution Absorption!" Cyber Dragon Infinity raised its wings, a bright light shining on Azure-Eyes, turning it into a golden sphere. The sphere eventually joined the other ones surrounding Cyber Dragon Infinity, increasing its ATK.

Cyber Dragon Infinity ATK: 2900

"Battle! I attack Azure-Eyes with Cyber Dragon Infinity! Infinite Evolution Burst!" Immediately, Cyber Infinity fired a powerful light beat at Azure-Eyes as Lucas had gotten hold of an Action Card.

"Action Car-" He was interjected by Hiraki, who delivered a quick kick to his arm, knocking him off the platform he was in.

"Cyber Dragon Infinity's second effect! When a card or an effect is activated, I can detach an Overlay Unit and negate the activation, destroying the card!"

Cyber Dragon Infinity ATK: 2700

Azure-Eyes counterattacked with a blast of its own but was overpowered by Infinity. Lucas landed hard on the floor.

Lucas LP: 3600

Hiraki swiftly turned his attention to Jarid."Cyber End Dragon attacks Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon!" As soon as he declared his attack, he sped off after Jarid, who was after an Action Card himself. They landed on the same platform, Jarid throwing a punch to the jaw at Hiraki who easily dodged it and return it to the side of his chest. He picked up the Action Card and back jumped."Action Card: Assault! Cyber End Dragon gains a boost of 600 during damage calculation!"

Cyber End Dragon ATK: 4600

Cyber End Dragon fired 3 different energy beams which then combined into one, colliding against Darkness Metal Dragon who didn't stand a chance against such attack. The shockwave of the attack sent Jarid sliding across the floor, hitting his head on the edge of the bridge.

Jarid LP: 2400

"At this moment, Cyber End Dragon's ATK return to normal. I end my turn."

Chuckles could be around Hiraki, who looked in both directions to see the source. Jarid slowly got up again, rubbing his head in pain while Lucas was brushing off the dust on his suit."That wasn't half bad, Hiraki. To think you could Xyz Summon like this. Could it be you were a traitor even back then?"

"Don't mess with me! What Academia is going is wrong, and you guys should know about it! There's no reason for us to be fighting anymore!"

Jarid returned to his spot."You think we care about such things? We only cared about getting paid."

"Paid? What are you talking about?" Hiraki asked in disbelief.

Lucas sneered."Does it matter? You're about to lose the duel and your life. This shouldn't matter to you at all. If you don't mind, it's my brother's turn."

Hiraki gritted his teeth as Jarid laughed."Thank you for the kind offer, brother. Draw!"He smirked before showing Hiraki a card."I'll activate Monster Reborn to revive my almighty Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon!"

"Cyber Dragon Infinity's effect activates! By detaching an Overlay Unit, I can negate the effect of your Spell Card and destroy it!"

Cyber Dragon Infinity (2 OU) ATK: 2500

"I was hoping you'd do that. You fell straight for my bait."

"What?!"

"I activate another Spell Card: Book of Eclipse! All of your monsters are switch to face-down Defense Position, but you get to draw cards equal to the number of monsters affected by this effect, so it's a plus for you." He snickered.

Hiraki gulped nervously, gritting his teeth as he watched his monsters disappearing and being replaced by purple fiends with chains. He drew his cards and glared at Jarid with anger in his eyes.

"That's not all, Hiraki. Because I activate the Spell Card: Red-Eyes Fusion!"

"Fusion?!" Hiraki echoed, taking a cautious step back.

"With Red-Eyes Fusion, I can Fusion Summon using monsters from my deck as Fusion Materials! I'll send my Level 7 Red-Eyes Black Dragon and my Level 6 Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon the most powerful of my servants!"Raining down from the sky with hell Fire with his Appearance it will char everything! Deep red eyes emerging from its burning Hell! Now rise from the dark flames that is your new existence! Fusion Summon! Come out from the flames of Hell itself! Level 8! Meteor Black Comet Dragon!" A black dragon covered in hot flames roared with rage, its tail coiling around, splashing fire around Hiraki.

Meteor Black Comet Dragon Level 10, Dark, Dragon, Fusion, ATK: 3500, DEF: 2000

Hiraki covered his face with his arm."I can feel the heat coming from it even at this distance."

Jarid cracked his neck before pointing at Hiraki."Once Meteor Black Comet Dragon is Fusion Summoned onto the field, I can send a "Red-Eyes" monster from my Deck to my Graveyard and inflict damage equal to half of its ATK!"

The spirit of another Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon appeared in front of Hiraki, letting out a loud screech before banishing. Hiraki covered both of his ears, his knees giving up causing him to fall on them.

Hiraki LP: 2700

"Battle! Meteor Black Comet Dragon, destroy his face-down Cyber End Dragon! Black Comet Attack!" Black Dragon fired a huge blast that looked like it had lava on it towards Hiraki. Cyber End Dragon was destroyed before Hiraki could run for an Action Card, sending flames to land dangerously close to his body."I'm not done yet! Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon attacks your face-down Cyber Dragon Infinity! Burning flare!" A flame ball erupted from Flare Dragon's mouth, incinerating Hiraki's second monster. Hiraki stumbled, landing on his butt as he covered his face to protect himself from the wild flames.

"Now, I'll be using this little card known as "Exchange". Basically, I can switch 1 card with my opponent from our hands. Lucas."

"Jarid." Jarid tossed him a card from his hand as his brother did so as well."I'll set the card that my dear brother gave me face-down. Next, I'll play another Exchange, but this time, you will be the one switching cards with me."

Hiraki's expression changed to a concerned one. He got up and glanced at his hand."With...me?"

Jarid wagged the lone card in his hand."I only have this little card in my hand, so you have to accept it. Let me see your hand." Hiraki hesitantly showed his hand. Jarid got closer, getting a better view."Man, you really don't have anything valuable. I'll just take this card! I almost forgot. Here." He put the card in Hiraki's hand and went back to his spot.

Hiraki frowned but decided to see what Jarid had given him."Huh? Necromancy?"

"I don't like this one bit. That card allows you to Special Summon as many monsters as possible from your opponent's Graveyard on their field."

"What the hell? Why would I even use this?" Hiraki raised an eyebrow.

"Don't use it and stay focused. It's your turn now and we don't have many choices."

"I'll set this card face-down too, and end my turn. Your move, amateur."

Hiraki raised his head and drew his card."My turn!" He looked at his hand blankly.

"Nothing good, huh?" Kumai inquired.

"I set a monster face-down. Turn end."

"So sad. Looks live you ran out of options. All that's left is for you to just sit down and die." Lucas grinned."Then I'll end you quickly! Draw! I summon Red-Eyes Wyvern in ATK mode!"

Red-Eyes Wyvern Level 4, Dark, Dragon, ATK: 1800, DEF: 1600

"Battle! Red-Eyes Wyvern, destroy his monster with flame thrower!" Lucas immediately sprinted to Hiraki, who started jumping on platforms. Before he could find an Action Card, Lucas tackled him hard to the ground, letting a scream of pain as Lucas's weight pressed him down against the floor. Red-Eyes Wyvern destroyed Hiraki's monsters, which was a Cyber Dragon Zwei. Lucas got up, grabbing Hiraki by his tie and pulled so hard it torn in half."My bad." He walked away, looking over his shoulder as Hiraki tried his best to get on his feet again.

Hiraki clenched his chest."Come on, Hiraki..." Kumai pleaded.

"I...draw!" Hiraki cursed inside his head and set another monster face-down in DEF position.

"Let's get it on! I draw!" Jarid drew as flashily as he could."At this moment, I activate my the Continuous Trap: DNA Surgery! I can declare a type of monster and as long at this card remains on the field, all face-up monsters become the declared type! I choose...dragon!"

"I assume you're all set to go, yes?" Lucas asked.

Jarid nodded."I activate my other face-down card: Soul Charge! I can Summon any number of monsters from my Graveyard to my side of the field, but I have to pay 500 LP per monster." He raised his hand."Come back! Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon! Black Dragon's Chick! Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" All monsters appeared on the field, shielding themselves with their wings. Jarid laughed as he was shocked by lightning.

Jarid LP: 900

"Monsters summoned by this effect cannot attack this turn, but I can still attack you with the ones I have." He shrugged before bursting into laughter."I'll make this more fun and let it last a bit longer. Battle! Black Come Dragon will attack your face-down monster and Red-Eyes attacks you directly!" As soon as he declared his attack, Lucas and himself charged Hiraki, who jumped up in the air.

"You can't escape!" Jarid rolled and kicked him in the middle of his head, sending back to the ground. Lucas landed behind him, dealing Hiraki an elbow to his spine as Jarid elbow him in his chest. The brothers continued kicking him, punching him, elbowing him, headbutting him until Lucas grabbed him by the back of his head and smashed him against the hard concrete, making a small crater below them. In the meantime, Black Comet had already destroyed Hiraki's face-down monster which was a Cyber Dragon Core, and had been inflicted 2400 of damage by Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

Hiraki LP: 300

Lucas and Jarid jumped back to their positions, admiring what they had done to Hiraki."I must say, you hit him in the jaw pretty hard." Jarid raised a finger.

Lucas shrugged and put his hands in his pockets."Whatever, you're the one who kept kicking him in the head."

While the brothers argued over who got him better the most, Hiraki attempted to get himself off the ground. He used all the strength he could muster to lift his head up, observing as drops of blood landed on where his face was before. As he squinted his eyes, he realized that there was a pool of blood below him. He ran his hand over his face, gasping at the amount of blood it was covered in. For the first time, he felt fear, anxiety, and terror, knowing full well that he couldn't even get close to winning the duel.

"No...no, no..." He wheezed, shaking his head which only splattered even more blood.

"They really mess you up. But you're still not done, are you?" Kumai's voiced echoed in Hiraki's mind.

He soon found himself in a black void, facing Kumai directly."B-but I...You can give me even more power, can you?"

Kumai remained silent and simply nodded.

Hiraki moved closer to him, offering him his right hand."Please! I'll do anything!"

"For me to give you access to more power, it'd require for us to make a deal, a pact."

Kumai grinned malevolently."I want to be able to have access to your body."

Hiraki cocked his head."My body? What do you mean?"

"Simply put, I'd like to be able to control it as well if at all possible. So far I can only dig into your mind, but that's a bit boring. So, I'd like to experience how being you feels like." He stuck out his hand."What do you say? It's your only way to win this duel. Do you not want to be able to go back to the others? Stop Academia and live in peace?"

Hiraki reluctantly accepted the handshake."Yes! I have to win! I have to!"

Hiraki once again found himself in the real world, using his knees for support.'That's right...I cannot lose...after all, she's waiting for me." He closed his eyes.

"Not bad, Hiraki-kun" Serena's voice echoed in his mind."You want to give this to me? You didn't have to bother yourself with that, but thank you." "You idiot! You don't know how to use the oven! You could have been hurt!" "Standard may be a weak dimension than ours, but always remember to be careful, okay?" "Please...just come back to me alive!" Hiraki's eyes snapped open.

Out of nowhere, a lightning struck the base of the tower, making a huge gap in the center of it. The twins stared at Hiraki, who had gotten up and was giving his back to Jarid."He's up? He's actually up again?" Jarid said.

Lucas spat at the floor."Better for us. I want to keep beating the living hell out of him."

"How utterly foolish. Do you possibly think you are able to slay me?" Hiraki spoke in a sinister tone, causing both brothers to flinch. He slowly opened his green eyes, who were glowing intensely and his pupils were white.

"Wh-what's this feeling? It feels like...something out of a nightmare? Jarid stuttered.

Lucas gritted his teeth and took a step back."Where does he get all this power from?!"

Hiraki's serious expression quickly changed into a sadistic one, grinning as his eyes widened so much to the point where they looked as if they were going to burst out."The dimensions are backwards!" He yelled, his black aura pushing Jarid and Lucas back."Soon, you will all suffer the pain of the new coming! Tremble in fear as the dragons engulf this world with the flames of oblivion! DRAW!" Hiraki created a dark shockwave as he drew, missing Lucas's head by an inch. He looked at his card and giggled.

"Stop bluffing! There's nothing you can do anymore!" Jarid cried out.

"Oh? Then what's this card that I'm about to play? The Spell Card: Overload Fusion!"

Lucas took another step back. He tried to talk but no words could come out of his mouth.

"No..." Was all the Jarid could say.

"I can banish from my side of the field or my Graveyard monsters that are listed on a Dark Machine-Type monster and Fusion Summon it! I banish all of my monsters in my Graveyard!" Hiraki's monsters appeared above him and were swallowed by the multicolored fusion vortex."Powers of light cast your Shadow, bring forth the powers of Darkness! Fusion Summon! Come on, Hydra of dark gears! Level 9! Chimeratech Overdragon!"A dragon with multiple heads slowly emerged from the shadows.

Chimeratech Over Dragon Level 9, Dark, Machine(Dragon), Fusion, ATK: ?, DEF: ?

"Unknown...ATK?" Lucas murmured.

"Overdragon's ATK and DEF become equal to the number of Fusion Materials used for its summoning times 800. I banished 13 monsters...so that's a total of 10,400!"

Chimeratech Over Dragon ATK: 10,400

Jarid fell on his back."10,400?!" He screamed in horror.

Lucas himself had already started shaking, feeling the sense of malice coming from Hiraki's new monster. Hiraki giggled and made a spun around before coming into a complete stop."Battle! Oh, my mistake. I've forgotten to tell you an important detail about Chimeratech's ability. You see, it can attack up to the number of Fusion Materials used for its summoning."He showed a palm to each twin."13 monsters were banished from my Graveyard to Fusion Summon Chimeratech Overdragon...so I can attack you up to 13 times! Isn't that great?!" His grin faded, leaving a serious expression instead."Battle! Chimeratech will attack all of your monsters and both players. With 13 attacks at my disposal, you can't escape!" More heads came out of Chimeratech's body, adding up for a total of 13. Each of the heads began charging their attacks, 7 aimed for Jarid and 6 for Lucas.

"Good night." Hiraki snapped his fingers, his dragon blasting its attacks furiously.

"Trap Card: Negate Attack! I can negate your attacks and end the battle phase." Jarid suddenly spoke. A barrier protected him and his brother from the attacks, which were diverted to parts of the bridge and the tower.

"Huh?" Hiraki blinked a few times.

"This was the trap you gave me, remember? When I activated exchange." Jarid folded his arms."It's your turn, brother. End him.

Hiraki made a twisted smile."Don't mess with me! You can't go over my monster's ATK no matter what you do!"

"I've grown bored of you, Hiraki. I thought you'd be more of a challenge, but I was sorely mistaken. Draw!" Lucas rushed over to Hiraki, who took a defensive stand. He wasn't fast enough to react, which caused Lucas to kick him right in his face, knocking him off the bridge. Hiraki's body fell rapidly down, landing in the enormous mountains of trash. His monsters followed him down, leaving the brothers by themselves.

Down below, Hiraki moved the trash off of his body and attempted to move, however, his legs wouldn't budge."God damn...they really messed me up..."

Lucas jumped on top of the rail."Your grave will be where you belong, the trash."

Hiraki bit his tongue so hard, it started bleeding."You..."

"I activate the Spell Card: Hand Control! I can guess the name of a card you have in your hand, and if I guess it right you'll be forced to play it. Now, how about you use that Necromancy?"

Necromancy began to glow as Hiraki looked at it, still speechless. Just then, 4 monsters appeared flying above Lucas.

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Maiden with Eyes of Blue, Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon and Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon are revived in Defense mode. Of course, all of them are Dragon-type thanks to DNA Surgery's effect. And now! The great finale! I activate the Spell Card: Dragon Fusion!" A loud lighting struck the skies.

"Dragon...fusion?"

"Thanks to Dragon Fusion, I can Fusion Summon a Dragon-Type monster from my Extra Deck using monsters from either side of the field! I use my Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Jarid's Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Both Dragons flew up in the sky and went inside a black vortex surrounded by white lightning."The ultimate dragon combined with the power of Ying and Yang, raise your wings of true supremacy! Watch over your devastation with your beautiful purple eyes and feast upon your servants! Fusion Summon! Collide with the hottest of suns! Level 11! Purple Eyes Gray Dragon!" A gray dragon descended from the red sky. It had a metal saw on its chest, three purple teeth jutting out from his upper jaw, and a long neck and tail. It also had pink spines running from the middle of its neck to about the end of its tail, a black horn growing from both of its noses and bright purple eyes in each head.

Purple-Eyes Gray Dragon Level 11, Dark, Dragon, Fusion, ATK: 4500, DEF: 3000

Hiraki stared in awe before shaking his head."I told you before! Your monster cann-"

"I activate my own Necromancy from my hand, to revive 4 monsters from your Graveyard and Special Summon them in DEF mode." 4 rays of light came out of Hiraki's Duel Disk, his 4 monsters manifesting in the air above him.

"Cyber End Dragon...Cyber Dragon...Cyber Dragon Drei...Cyber Dragon Infinity...!"

"Purple-Eyes's effect activates. It gains 600 per Dragon-Type monster on the field. Remember, with DNA Surgery's effect, every monster now it's a Dragon-Type."

"You have 5 monsters, I have 4 and Lucas has 4. Do the math." Jarid snickered.

"Th-that's..."

"That'll be a total of 12,300." Lucas stated.

Purple-Eyes ATK: 12,300

"Purple-Eyes can attack all Special Summoned monsters on the field! Go! Battle! Purple-Eyes Gray dragon, kill Hiraki and all of his monsters! Burst of Heaven!" One head charged a white ball while the other a black one. Strings of energy were connected to Purple-Eyes, all of them coming from every monster on the field, providing it power.


Evan was watching over the city inside of a skyscraper. At the distance, he noticed something shining brightly. He smiled, turning to Ace who was eating an apple."Looks like that's our signal."

"They won't need us anymore then. Let's haul ass out of here, I'm fucking bored." Ace stood up, throwing the apple on the ground.

"Hang on, Ace-kun!"

"What the fuck do you want?" Ace asked.

"Sorry, Ace-kun. But could we go and say hi to someone?" He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly

Ace raised an eyebrow."Someone? What do you mean?"

Evan closed his eyes and walked past him."You'll see."

Ace cursed aloud, but decided to follow the pale boy either way.


"Shame. Looks like you lost even with your newfound power. It's rather depressing, I had a lot of faith in you. But...you aren't finished just yet, are you?."

Hiraki's eyes snapped open, watching as two huge blasts of energy were getting closer and closer."Sorry...Serena...looks like I won't be able to keep our promise...And I'm sorry to you too ...thank you...for being my mother...!" A tear ran down his face. All of Hiraki's monsters cried out before being evaporated by the blasts before being enveloped by them."Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrggggghhhhhhhhhhh!" Hiraki cried in agony as his surrounded were destroyed."Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhh!"

Hiraki LP: 0

Winners: Jarid and Lucas!

The blasts pierced through the earth, reaching the underground level of the chemical plant, which made contact with dangerous chemicals and hazardous objects. Explosions began to happen, incinerating everything as chemicals began to go to the surface.

"He won't survive this, Lucas!" Let's just get the hell out of here!" Jarid yelled, teleporting back to Academia.

Lucas took one last glance at the area below him. Everything was full of acid and explosions occurred left and right. With a grunt, he too teleports back to Academia.


Ms. Sotari was cleaning pictures on her wall with the help of a young boy. She suddenly felt something weird that made her lose her balance. She leaned against the wall, knocking down a picture.

"Mother!" The kid came in running."Are you okay?!"

She smiled and put a hand on the child's head."I'm just feeling a bit tired." She noticed the broken glass on the floor and used this as an excuse to get the child away for a minute."Do you think you can bring cleaning supplies to clean up this mess?"

"Yes, ma'am!"He ran outside of the room, a concerned tone in his voice.

Ms. Sotari bent down to pick up the fallen picture. It was the picture of herself along with a young Hiraki who was eating ice cream at the time."Hiraki..."


The Militia was already close to defeating all of the Unifiers of Chaos attacking the area. The General noticed a dim light coming from far away."That's the Chemical Plant...but what's going on there?" He turned to his men."Defeat them at once!"

Meanwhile, all of the Lancers were watching as the chemical plant blew up, a giant cloud of smoke rising up in the sky."What the hell is going on over there? Saki wondered.

Saki and Yuya had already defeated their enemies and were heading out to look for Serena, Kyle, and Hiraki."Doesn't matter, we have to go and help Hiraki!" Yuya began to run, Saki following him close.

"Whoa there!" Two figures jumped in front of them, making the duo jump back.

"What the hell? There's more of them? Saki asked.

Yuya shook his head."No...I don't think so."

Ace was the first one to speak up."What the fuck? He looks just like Yuri." The name Yuri made Yuya flinched.

Evan began walking closer to his partner."He looks a lot like Yugo as well. Interesting." He noted.

Saki stood in front of Yuya, his Duel Disk activated."Who the hell are you, people?!"

Ace's vein popped out his temple."Watch your fucking mouth, you asshole!"

Evan brushed his partner off and bowed slightly."Pardon our lack of manners. My name is Evan Sukira and this is my partner, Ace Hashimiro. A pleasure to meet your acquaintance." He pointed at Yuya with his index finger."I believe you're Yuya Sakaki, yes?"

Yuya gasped."How...do you know my name?"

Evan shrugged."That doesn't matter right now. Anyways, how did someone from Standard such as yourself get here?"

Before Yuya could reply, Yuto's spirit appeared next to him."Yuya...those are the bastards who took Ruri and the others!"

"Yuto..." Yuya breathed.

Yuya's body began to shine brightly, blinding everyone temporarily. Once the light began to die down, Yuya was nowhere to be seen. Instead, Yuto stood in his place.

"What the hell?!" Saki stumbled on the floor."Y-Y-Yuya?!"

Ace crossed his arms over his chest."What the fuck did I just witness."

Evan places his thumb under his chin."If I remember correctly...that must be Yuto."

Ace adjusted his hat."Does this mean they're sharing a body?"

Evan nodded, earning a nod from Ace himself."By the way," He raised his voice."We are the ones you're looking for...em?"

"Saki."

"Saki, correct." He cleared his voice."We are the Unifiers of Chaos. I know you must have a ton of questions, being an outsider of the situation and all, but I'll be dueling you before that happens."

Yuto clenched his fist."Quit messing around! Where are Ruri and Makoto? Where did you take the others to?"

"Oh, so that's what this is about? You want to know where your friends are?" Ace grinned condescendingly.

Evan raises his hand slightly."Now,now, Ace-kun. He deserves to know." He now was facing Yuto."I know where dear old Ruri is. But...regarding Makoto and the other 2...that's another story for another time I'm afraid." He closed one of his eyes, raising his index finger teasingly."Though you can duel me and if you win, you can get all the info that you want regarding your friends."

Yuto activated his own Duel Disk, Yuya appearing right next to him."Be careful, Yuto. We don't know what they're capable of. They are the real Unifiers of Chaos after all."

"I know."

Ace stood in front of Evan."I'll be dueling this once. You've already duel Yugo, so it would only be fair if I can have this one for myself. I don't want a fucking no for an answer, got it?"

Evan took a couple of steps back, chuckling."Of course. The floor is yours. I guess I'll be dueling this other person here."

"I said my name is Saki, you fool. Gosh, you Unifiers of Chaos are sure a handful." He said indignantly.

Field Spell: Crossover

"Duel!"

Evan vs. Saki LP: 4000

Ace vs. Yuto LP: 4000

"My turn!" Evan declared, taking out 2 cards from his hand."I set 2 cards face-down. Turn end."

"Then it's my move! Draw!" Saki drew his hard, a satisfied smile on his face."It's here! I activa-"

"Hold on just a moment please!" Evan pleaded.

Saki scoffed in annoyance."What?!"

Evan chuckled and rubbed his head."Sorry, but I'd like to finish this duel as soon as possible. I hope you understand."

"Then let me finish my damn turn already!"

Evan smiled kindly at him before raising his hand."I activate double Trap Cards: The Path of Destiny!"

"What?"

"What is he planning?" Yuto asked Yuya, who just kept observing at the two.

"See, now both players can toss a coin once per card, so since there's 2, we can do it twice. Here's the catch; if the result of a coin toss is heads, we get 2000 LP."He grinned."But, if we get tails, we lose 2000 LP."

"What the hell is wrong with you?! You're taking such dangerous risk?!" Saki asked incredulously

Evan shrugged."It's really not that big of a deal. All we have to do is avoid getting tails."

"You're insane."

"That's harsh, Saki-san." Two golden coins appeared on the field."I'll go first if you don't mind." Both coins were tossed in the air, everyone watching with curiosity. The first coin landed on heads.

Evan LP: 6000

"Here comes the last one." He remarked, watching attentively as the last coin landed, rolling around before stopping...heads.

Evan LP: 8000

"Oh, would you look at that. I guess I really am lucky. It's your turn, Saki-san."

"Tch. Go!" Saki commanded, both coins tossing themselves up in the air. The first one rolled around as soon as it landed, showing tails. Saki cried out in pain as he was shocked by lightning.

Saki LP: 2000

"There's no way Saki can get tails again." Yuya said, clear concern in his voice.

The coin landed and rolled around. Once it lost its momentum, it spun in place for a bit before stopping...tails.

"No way!" Saki cried out before being thrown in the air by a shockwave, landing hard on his back.

Saki LP: 0

Winner: Evan

"It can't be..." Yuto gasped.

"Saki!" Yuya cried out to his friend."Is this...the power of the Unifers of Chaos?"

Ace smirked."There he goes again. Our good old luckster with his bullshit abilities."

Evan walked up to Saki, who was hitting the floor as hard as he could."Well, that was disappointing. But at least I can now observe the real duel with my own eyes."He set his Duel Disk in Carding Mode. He pressed a button, enveloping Saki in purple light as he closed his eyes, accepting his fate. Evan caught the card and put it in his pocket, a happy expression on his face.

"How dare you?!" Yuto growled, making Evan shrugged. This last one took a sit on top of a rock, crossing his legs.

"Oy, don't forget you're dueling me, asshole!" Ace snapped, earning a puzzled look by Yuto."I'll go first. From my hand, I'll Normal Summon Vision Hero Vyon in ATK mode!" A humanoid robot appeared from the sky, striking a pose as it landed.

Vision Hero Vyon Level 4, Dark, Warrior, ATK: 1000, DEF: 1200

"Vision Hero..." Yuto gazed with curiosity at Ace's monster.

Ace raised his hand in the air."When Vision Hero Vyon is Normal Summoned onto the field, I can send a "Hero" monster from my deck to the Graveyard! I choose my Vision Hero Minimum Ray. Next, I'll discard Vision Hero Increase to Special Summon Vision Hero Farris!"

Vision Hero Farris Level 5, Dark, Warrior, ATK: 1600, DEF: 1800

"I set a card face-down. Hurry the fuck up and make your move." Ace demanded.

Yuto ignored his comment."My turn! Draw!"

"Be careful, Yuto. With 2 monsters with low ATK and a set card, he's definitely planning something." Yuta commented.

Yuto nodded in agreement."I summon The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm in ATK position!" A knight's helmet appeared on the field, having 2 hands.

The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm Level 4, Dark, Warrior, ATK: 1500, DEF: 500

"Good enough I suppose. So far so good, Yuto. I really hope you can entertain me more than you other little friends back in XYZ" Ace stated tauntingly.

"What the hell are you getting at?" Yuto clenched his fists.

Ace shrugged."All I'm saying is that people in your dimension are nothing special at all, much like this one."

"That's right. My duel with Saki was rather dull if I'm being honest." Evan said, a sinister smile growing on his face."But isn't that great? No matter how weak they may be, they're still doing their very best to protect their home! The hope that they possess is admirable just as much as the hope this dimension has! No matter how pointless the situation seems, they will always keep fightin-"

"Shut the fuck up already! Let him finish!" Ace snapped, the rise in his startling Evan.

"I won't let you mess with my mind. I know what I have to do! Battle! The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm, destroy Vision Hero Vyon!" Cloven Helm ran into Vyon, headbutting it and destroying it.

Ace LP: 3500

"Not bad, but not good enough! At this moment, I activate my Trap Card: Appearing Vision! When a "Vision Hero" monster is destroyed, I can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Vision Hero" monster from my Deck! Appear now! Vision Hero Multiply Guy!"

Vision Hero Multiply Guy Level 3, Dark, Warrior, ATK: 800, DEF: 700

"I'm far from over, kid! Because when I take damage, I can active Minimum Ray's and Increase's abilities from the Graveyard! I can set both monsters in my Spell and Trap Zone."

"Monsters that activate their effects in the Grave...?" Yuto mumbled."Tch. I set 3 cards face-down and end my turn."

"Then I'll go! Draw! I think I'll be nice enough and let you get your dragon out." He said in a demanding tone."I'll use both of my monsters in order to Tribute Summon Vision Hero Witch Raider!"

Vision Hero Witch Raider Level 8, Dark, Warrior, ATK: 2700, DEF: 1900

"Witch Raider's effect! Once it's successfully summoned onto the field, it can destroy all Spells and Trap Cards you control!" Ace snapped his fingers, Witch Raider made a swift move with her wand, destroying Yuto's cards."Battle! Fuck him up, Witch Raider!" Witch Raider aimed at Yuto's monster, charging a green ball of magic in the center of it, shooting it and easily overpowering Cloven Helm. Yuto was pushed back by the shock wave, managing to maintain his balance and stay standing.

Yuto LP: 2800

"I set a card from my hand, facing down. You better not disappoint me you lazy sack of shit." Ace growled, flipping Yuto off.

"No need to rush. I'm sure Yuto-kun will demonstrate to us a wonderful performance, isn't that right?" Evan inquired with an innocent tone.

"Do they think this is a game or something?!" Yuya glared at Evan then Ace, a deep feeling of hate slowing growing within him.

"For them it is. They are the ones who responsible for all of the attacks across the dimensions after all. But I'm not about to let them have their way any longer! Draw! I end my turn."

Ace remained silence, clenching his fist."Uh-oh. This isn't good..." Evan whispered.

He raised one hand."No, no. It's understandable. I can't believe I expected anything from an XYZ scum.I'll kill you now for wasting my god damn time! And you too Evan! Battle Phase! Obliterate him! Witch Raider! Charge of Chaos!" This time, Witch Raider raised her wand up in the sky, gathering energy from its surroundings. Once it got enough power, it aimed directly at Yuto, who wasn't reacting at all.

"Yuto, we have to get an Action Card! Quick!" Yuya insisted. Witch Raider fired its attack."Yuto!"

Yuto raised his index finger, pointing at the upcoming attack."I activate the Trap Card from my Graveyard: Phantom Knight's Shadow Veil!"

"What?! A Trap Card that activates from the Grave?! Ace asked in confusion. Evan couldn't find the words to express himself, choosing to remain quiet.

Yuto grabbed a total of 3 cards from his Graveyard, revealing them to Ace."When a direct attack is declared, I can Special Summon as many of these cards as monsters as possible!" A total of 3 knights on horses appeared in DEF on the field.

Phantom Knights Shadow Veil (3) Level 4, Dark, Warrior, ATK: 0, DEF: 300

Evan put his fist on his palm."So that's what he was after! Heh, leave it to Yuri's counterpart to create suspense."

"Regardless, I'll still take one of them out." Ace stated as Witch Raider's attack destroyed one of Yuto's trap monsters."I end my turn. So, are you finally ready to bring out your dragon?"

Yuto smirked."You'll regret ever giving me this chance. My turn! I draw! With further ado, I'll show you the true power of Xyz! I use the 2 Level 4 Shadow Veil to construct the Overlay Network!"

Ace grinned in excitement."Finally, you're getting serious."

Yuto's monsters were absorbed by a black vortex."Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose its treacherous fangs! Descend, now! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon Rank 4, Dark, Dragon, Xyz, ATK: 2500, DEF: 2000

Evan got up on his feet, clapping with contentment."Marvelous! I knew you'd bring out your dragon sooner or later!"

"Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon's effect activates! By detaching an Overlay Unit, it can lower 1 Level 5 or greater monster on my opponent's side of the field by half, and Dark Rebellion increases its ATK by that much until the End Phase! Treason Discharge!" Dark Rebellion spread its wings, letting out purple lightning which surrounded Witch Rider.

Vision Hero Witch Rider ATK: 1350

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK: 3850

"I'll use the remaining Overlay Unit to use its effect one more time! Treason Discharge!"

Vision Hero Witch Rider ATK: 675

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK: 4525

"Holy shit!" Ace cried.

Evan's eyes widened."To think it'd have this kind of ability...amazing."

"Battle! I attack Vision Hero Witch Rider with Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon!" Dark Rebellion created purple lightning and covered its body with it, flying at high speed towards Witch Rider."Revolt of the Lightning! Disobey!"

"I activate my Trap Card: Vision Emergency! It prevents my monster from being destroyed for the rest of this turn!"

"However, you'll still take the damage!" Dark Rebellion attack Witch Rider with its fangs, however, this last one managed to block it with her wand. Acen was tossed on the ground, facing up.

Ace LP: 150

Evan covered his mouth."Ouch...that's gotta hurt..."

"I end my turn. At this moment, Dark Rebellion's effect ends and our monsters' ATK return to normal.

Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon ATK: 2500

Vision Hero Witch Rider ATK: 2700

"Now answer me! Where are Makoto and Ruri?!" Yuto demanded.

"Yuto..." Yuya breathed."Huh?"

Yuya noticed that Ace was chuckling, slowing getting back up again."I have to admit...I underestimated you, XYZ scum."He coughed, holding his left arm."I love this sensation...you're using your own chaos to attack me. But it hurt...it fucking HURT!"

Yuto took a step back."You think it's always about you?! Your selfish desires and goals will end today!"

"I'd beg to differ! I draw!" Ace drew his card and immediately activated it."I use the Spell Card: Vision Fusion! With it, I can Fusion Summon using the monsters I have in my Spell and Trap Zone!" A black and white portal appeared above Ace, pulling his two cards from his Duel Disk and sucking them in."Born from the sense of wicked justice, with a vision sharper than anything that has ever existed! Fusion Summon! I call for you! Level 8! Vision Hero Adoration!"

Vision Hero Adoration Level 8, Dark, Warrior, ATK: 2800, DEF: 2100

"He Fusion Summoned using monsters from his Spell and Trap Zone..." Yuya echoed.

Yuto grew furious, reminding of all the destruction in his world that that card had brought to his home.

"My Vision Hero Adoration has a Special Ability, similar to your dragon's. I can target one monster your field and mine, then your monster loses ATK equals to the monster I targeted on my field until the End Phase. I chose both Vision Hero Witch Rider and your Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon! Vision of God!" Adoration stretched its clothing and wrapped both Witch Rider and Dark Rebellion with it.

Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon ATK: 0

"Dark Rebellion!" Yuto yelled in desperation.

"No way..." Yuya whispered.

"It's been pretty fucking boring dueling you. You don't have what it takes to be called a duelist. You're just a delusional idiot who lost his home and is about to lose his life as well! Battle! No more screwing around! Vision Hero Adoration, slay his pathetic dragon! Sphere of the Observer!" Adoration created a purple ball with its hands, striking poses before firing it at Dark Rebellion, piercing through it. Yuto tried staying on his foot, but eventually, his body gave in and was thrown hard against the ground.

Yuto LP: 0

Winner: Ace

Yuto tried to sit down using his elbows as his body began to shine again, switching back to Yuya.

Ace drew closer to him, a look of disgust printed on his face."Looks like Yuri's XYZ counterpart was nothing special. I wonder though, how are yo-"

"Ace! We have visitors at two o'clock!" Evan alerted, seeing as Gongenzaka, Dennis, and the others were on their way to them.

"It can't be helped then." He touched a few buttons on his Duel Disk."I'll see you later, Evan. I'm going back to Academia and get some rest." With those words, Ace disappeared out of thin air.

Evan put his hands inside his pockets and walked close to Yuya."Why...why are you doing this?!"

"Woah, relax a bit pal. Jeez, you're a bit loud, aren't you." Evan scratched his chin."Though the way you care about your friends is a unique trait indeed. You really are Yusho sensei's son."

"Yusho...sensei?!"

"That's correct. I used to be Yusho's disciple, his student. As a matter of fact, Ace was too as well as a...certain girl. But that's all in the past now."

Yuya crawled closer to Evan."Where's my father?!"

"Yuya!" Gongenzaka yelled, getting their attention.

"Let him go this instant!" Kurosaki activated his Duel Disk as he approached.

Evan began walking away, activating the teleport app on his Duel Disk."We'll see each other again, Yuya-kun. As long as the girls are out there, we'll always find a way to find each other." Before Dennis and Sawatari could catch him, Evan banished, teleporting himself away.

Yuya heard his comrades' voices, slowly drifting away as he began to lose consciousness.
