Chapter 40: Aether Paradise Rescue Mission Arch P1

Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptors or Yugioh. I do own Erin. Also Erin's Rival Tatsuya is another OC I own.

Two days had passed since Yuzu dated Tatsuya with the two becoming a couple. It was a Monday afternoon and Yuya related to Erin how Yuzu was dating Tatsuya and that while he and her were still friends he hoped for the best for his friend. Erin didn't like the idea of Tatsuya dating Yuzu but like Yuya she had to let it slide, after all Yuzu was free to date and be anyone's girlfriend at her choosing. Like Yuzu's father and Yuyu, Erin wanted Yuzu to be happy. He wouldn't exactly know the duel results but right now everyone including Alexis was returning back to the mansion. For two straight days now they had all split up and began searching for clues onto where Nebby was being held. For that amount of time, they weren't able to find any clue to where Nebby was being held. Too make matters worse Phineas had confirmed with Lillie that Lusamine had erased her daughter's memories somehow. Most likely specifically for knowing where Nebby was being held.

"Why would mother erase my memories of that only?" Lillie asked Phineas.

Phineas answered "Good question Lillie, and sadly the answer is this, she doesn't want anyone to interfere in her plans. She may have told you her plans but was expecting to sell you to Demonica so she could eat you, but since we were on a rescue mission to save you, she had to erase that memory.

"Ah..." Lillie sighed "Is there anyway you can help restore that memory Phineas?"

Ferb was with his brother as Phineas remarked "Ferb and I could technically make a device to restore that memory but it could take quite a while for us to do so. We haven't in our lives made a device for that purpose."

Ferb also adds on "Which Time is a factor that we don't have much of. Who knows where your mother has taken him...Sometimes the best way to figure something out is by Dueling."

"I've tried that" Lillie said "Against Gladion, but nothing came out."

"More Duels could help with that" Phineas told her.

Acelroa was at Erin's side listening to the conversation. Alexis was with the two as was Blair..

"Shouldn't you have been back at Duel Academy?" Erin asked Alexis.

"I should've but ever since Po Town Kaiba had requested I stay with you Erin till in his words 'this mess is over with forever.'

"You'll have a lot of make up work to do" Erin told her.

"True but Kaiba says he'd give me a passing grade just for ending this conflict we are engaged in with MFWD."

"I suppose that's fine" Blair said.

"We do need all the help we can get" Gladion admitted.

The four girls turn to see him and he looks at them "Look, we aren't exactly friends yet...But we aren't enemies ether. For the time being we are up against an enemy that won't stop till they get the Sakrua Cards."

He looks at his sister "Then I learned just now today she had her memories erased by our own mother."

Yuya remembered something with his conversation with Tatsuya and he turned to Blair "Blair!"

"Yes, Yuya?" Blair inquired.

"Tatsuya says he got his deck from a raffle my father saw over at your school when you him, and Erin went to that school...Is that true?"

Blair blushes "Yes, yes it is!"

Erin nodded "I remember being really, really, really confused on what was going on that day."

Blair agreed "That you were Erin."

She then turned to Yuya "Why do you ask?"

"Well" Yuya said to her "I don't suppose he said to you or Erin where he was going afterwards, he had a Duel scheduled later on that day but he never showed up."

"That's very unlike your father" Blair admitted.

"Exactly my point!" Yuya told her "Now I don't suppose you or Erin know where he was going afterwards?"

"Sadly he never did say where he was going after that" Erin said recalling that day.

Yuya sighed "I would've thought he might've said something to you and Blair that day."

"Never said anything about a Duel later on that day" Blair said "Well then again if he did I didn't hear as I recall I fainted."

"That Tatsuya said you did...Why'd you faint?"

Blair blushes bright red as she shouted the answer "OUT OF SURPRISE! I wasn't expecting to see him that early in my life."

"Oh"

Blair turned to Erin "Erin nearly fainted after I did but I'm sure she was doing that because I did, however she didn't."

"Did any of you know what was in the Deck?" Yuya asked.

"Not really" Erin admitted "All your father mentioned was that the cards are a rare set...Why are you interested in that?"

"Because that deck...Is the deck Tatsuya won from that raffle...It had Horus the Black Flame Dragon in it!"

Erin blinks "AH! I struck out! I could've gotten a powerful Monster...Instead Tatsuya has it nya."

Blair smiled "However you managed to get your own deck without a raffle. That makes your deck yours by right. Sure it's a Fire Attribute based deck, but it's so you, plus you wouldn't have met Fox Fire, your Duel Spirit."

Erin giggled seeing the Duel Monster spirit next to her "I suppose you're right."

Joey arrived at the mansion with Serenity at his side "So...Any of you have any luck finding Nebby?"

"Sadly no" Erin said.

"Same here" Alexis said.

"Man" Joey sighed "Serenity and I spent a good two or three hours checking every place in Domino City."

"We didn't find anything" Serenity admitted.

Erin sighed putting a hand underneath her chin as she began thinking on the next move "We've checked everywhere at least twice in the past two days...The only place we haven't is that secret area where it was girls only for MFWD."

"Would make a logical place to check out" Blair admitted "However that is where we had our encounter with Team Skull and it wasn't pleasant."

"Agreed" Yuya admitted "Especially when it was Team Skull that kidnapped Yuzu, took her to Po-Town, and came back to give Yuzu away as a meal to Demonica."

Serenity shivered "Disgusting thought."

"He speaks the truth though sis" Joey warned Serenity "Demonica is a Succubus and one of her favorite foods is human girls."

"Has anyone been eaten?"

Blair shivered raising a hand weakly "I have! I escaped thanks to Yugi and Erin teaming up together to beat her and the second-in-command in a Tag Duel..."

Serenity could tell that this memory wasn't something Blair liked to say over and over again "Sorry for bringing that up."
"It's okay" Blair told her "Just watch over your shoulder for Demonica...She's a tricky one."

"Come to think of it Tea was almost captured by Demonica one day ago" Joey admitted "During the night, luckily for Tea, Yugi was there with her and that basically told Demonica to back off and abandon the hunt to look for a new target" Joey muttered.

All eyes turned to see Gladion whom now looked worried "If Nebby isn't in Domino City, or anywhere MFWD maybe...There might be only one place, if so it's going to take a lot of prep time."

"You have an idea where Nebby maybe at brother?" Lillie asked as she, Phineas and Ferb entered the room.

"I have a guess where he could be most likely" Gladion told her.

"Where?" was the response.

Gladion answered "Aether Paradise headquarters in Aloha."

"Isn't Aether Paradise meant to preserve Wild Pokemon?" Acerloa asked.

"At first glance, Yes, that's the case however...There was always a dark side of Aether Paradise that almost no one knew about. Except for of course me which sort of forced me to run away from it in the first place with Type: Null."

"Then you ended up on the wrong foot as Team Skull's enforcer" Joey muttered.

"Mistake yes, but at the moment, if it is Aether Paradice headquarters that has Nebby, we need prep time!"

"Duel Armor included in it?" Joey asked.

"Yes" Gladion said.

"Let's go into Mr. Pegasus's room then" Erin suggested and have this so called prep time."

"Why would we need prep time?" Joey asked Gladion.

Gladion answered "It won't be simple to go into the place, get Nebby out of it then come out safely. If I'm right about this...A rescue mission in rescuing Nebby is going to take lots of concentration as we won't be facing MFWD, but Aether Paradise workers, some of whom might be innocent in the confrontation not even knowing of Aether Paradise's dark side."

"He makes a good point!" Phineas admitted

"From the looks of things" Ferb said "This maybe a hard battle for us, it may even be our version of Vietminh War, not knowing which targets are the ones truly innocent."

"And remember our Duel Armor's blasters are as powerful as our Duel Monster's attacks" Alexis pointed out "So if we accidentally fire at someone innocent and there is reason to believe he or she's innocent and not fully aware of Aether Paradise's Darkside, then we run the risk of killing someone that's innocent, this is a battle we are going to have to plan ahead for, so I agree with Gladion on this one. We have to plan for it."

"Agreed!" was the response.

"May we bring Yugi along on this one?" Joey inquired.

"We just might need him on this one" Erin admitted "Where we might not know who maybe truly caught unaware of Aether Paradise's dark side, he just might be able to know, plus I smell a whole lot of dueling just to get into the situation...Hate to say this but we might even need Kaiba's help-"

"I REFUSE TO HAVE RICH BOY HELP US OUT IN THAT SITUATION!" Joey shouted "He's liable to make things worse."

"But his Dueling skills are incredible" Gladion reminded Joey "And Erin said it perfectly, we need everyone's help in taking down Aether Paradise. Like for example we could possibly use Erin's parents Li and Sakura's assistance in this one, they could possibly help us escort the workers whom truly are innocent on all this out of the building ensuring all the other ones we are firing on are the workers of Aether Paradise that are aware of the ordeal."

"I can help Erin's parents do that too!" Serenity said.

"You can't come on this one Serenity"

"Ah, come on brother!"

"I said no!" Joey told her in a protective tone " And I mean no! Look sis if Gladion is right and Aether Paradise is allied to MFWD, that may mean Demonica may lend a hand, if she captures you...There's no doubt in my mind she'll eat you! And I can't afford to lose you that way or anyway for that matter, I mean it's not like the time we were all turned to stone by Noah in the Virtual World as Yugi beat him and bailed us out. If you are eaten by Demonica...You'll die and I don't want that to happen."

"Well alright" Serenity sighed.

Joey hated to call Seto Kaiba for help but would Seto arrive for it? Well if Aether Paradise was allied to MFWD with some workers not knowing, they may have to have help. So he regretfully gave in "Okay, guys, let's make a few calls. I'll call Yugi!"

"I'll call my parents and inform Mr. Pegasus about this" Erin offered.

"I'll call Yuzu and ask her to ask Tatsuya her boyfriend if he can persue Kaiba to come over in an hour..."

"Alright then" Blair said "We'll wait in the meeting room of the mansion where we'll prepare for it."

Gladion turned to Phineas and Ferb looking at them "Think you can make a Star Wars type of holographic computer?"

"Sure we can!" Phineas said "Ferb and I have always wanted to do that!"

"Then allow me to join you two in doing that. I want to really prepare for this battle and we'll need everything to be done right."

"Alright then! Come on Ferb we've got work to do with Gladion."

"Coming Lillie?" Gladion asked his sister.

"Sure!"

So Erin, Joey, and Yuya went to call for help. Joey was on the line and Yugi picked up "Hello? This is Yugi Muto, who is this?"

"Hey Yug! It's me Joey!"

"Oh hey Joey! What's up?"

"Well, Yugi...We are about to go on the offensive"

"Offensive against MFWD? Where at?"

"Well we might fight against MFWD but we might have an idea where Nebby is at and we are planning an offensive to rescue it, problem is we do think MFWD may help their newest ally out Lusamine in her plans. According to Gladion he thinks she may have Nebby, Lillie's friend at Aether Paradise and he says an offensive to rescue Nebby there will be hard to do and therefor is planning on a prep time for the offensive. Are you interested in the rescue mission?"

"You can count on me!" Yugi said "Any friend of Lillie is a friend of mine! I'll be glad to put my life on the line to help save Nebby! When is it and where is the prep time meeting?"

"It's about as soon as you and other helpers arrive if they want to possibly in an hour or two, at Pegasus's mansion."

Yugi checked the time and was speaking putting on his jacket "Count on it Joey, I'm coming right now."

"Thanks Yug!"

"You're welcome and I'll see you then!"

"Alright then I'll be waiting buddy! Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

Yugi hung the phone up and turned to his grandfather "Grandpa! I'm going to Pegasus's mansion, Joey requested I get over there."

"Alright then" Yugi's grandpa said allowing Yugi to leave.

Erin's was much more simple and easy at least the way she informed Pegasus was by him teaching her his latest lesson then after the lesson she had told him about the meeting and where Nebby might be. Pegasus nodded hearing this "Grave situation Nebby is in and it needs to be rescued if it's in Aether Paradise whom has a secret dark side to it. I'll do what I can to help on this one."

Erin smiled "Thanks!"

She then would call her parents Sakura and Li Syaoran whom came over immediately for the meeting bringing Eriol over with Ruby Moon and Spinner Sun.

Yuya now calls Yuzu "Hello Yuzu!"

Yuzu was with Tatsuya waiting for him to get done with Kaiba's lesson so that they could hang out together. Yuzu heard her phone going off and answered "Yes? Yuya? What's wrong?"

Yuya answered "I hope nothing too bad is happening so far but we are about to go on a rescue mission offense and Gladion has asked us to get help. Seto Kaiba's name was mentioned as a possible helper, I don't suppose you being Tatsuya's girlfriend could get Tatsuya to get Kaiba to come over to Pegasus's mansion now could you?"

Yuzu giggled mischievously "Oh, I can get Tatsuya to do anything I want him to do. I could even ask him to do that and get him to join in on that mission. So I do think I can do that!"

"Thanks Yuzu and don't try to hurt Tatsuya now."

"Relax" Yuzu said "I don't want to hurt him, but I know how to get him do what I ask of him, and while I'm his girlfriend, I bet I can make him do what I want him to do."

"Well alright then"

Yuzu nodded "Shall we meet at Pegasus's mansion in an hour or two?"

"Certainly! Everyone else seems to be agreeing to that."

"Alright then see you then bye!"

"Bye!"

Yuzu hung up and checks the time. She gets up to walk to the Kaiba Dome where Mokuba saw her walking up "Uh, Yuzu! Tatsuya's not done with his lesson yet."

"I know" Yuzu said "But something really urgent came up!"

"How urgent?"

"Really urgent. Erin's trying to go on another offensive against MFWD."

"I take it they found this Nebby?"

"Not quite but Gladion suspects it's being held in Aether Paradise back in Aloha."

Mokuba now understood the urgency "And the offensive is a rescue mission offensive."

"Exactly! Yuya has asked me to ask Tatsuya to convince Seto Kaiba to help out in the mission."

"Then I better come along with you Yuzu. Sure Seto will listen partly to Tatsuya but he'll listen to me much more."

"Alright then" Yuzu said.

The two enter the elevator and while Yuzu stayed put, Mokuba banged on the Door "SETO! SETO!"

Seto Kaiba's voice answered as he walked to the door "Oh hold that thought Tatsuya, it sounds like Mokuba found something or needs my assistance...Which is strange because I don't recall him having any trouble for two days straight."

Kaiba opened the door seeing Mokuba and Yuzu "Mokuba? Yuzu?"

"Yuzu?" Tatsuya asked looking out the door.

Yuzu waved hello to her boyfriend.

"Mokuba, you know how I told you not to interrupt Tatsuya's lessons."

"I know but this is an emergency" Yuzu told him for Mokuba.

"What sort of emergency?" Tatsuya asked seeing how alarmed his girlfriend looked like "Demonica trying to capture you again?"

"Close" Yuzu said blushing "But she isn't...However Yuya just called with urgent news."

"We're not interested in hearing what Yuya says is news" Kaiba warned Yuzu.

Mokuba spoke "Here us out Seto! Gladion says he may know where Nebby is held."

"Why should I care about that?"

Yuzu answered "Because if Lusamine, Gladion's and Lillie's mother succeed in their plan, real life monsters will come to Earth and invade mercilessly...Plus MFWD maybe allied to her. So if they get that power on their side."

Tatsuya was understanding this "What sort of monsters are we talking about?"

"Tatsuya...Don't listen to this story any further" Kaiba warned "You're girl is talking about make believe Monsters."

"Don't let Accelora hear you say that" Mokuba warned "She has Ghost Pokemon."

Kaiba blinked now recalling that "That Trial Captain friend of Erin's...Alright then what monster is coming to attack if we don't do something about Nebby?"

Mokuba answered "They are called Ultra Beasts, Seto! In a way they are Pokemon but these Ultra Beasts come from another world through an Ultra Wormhole. These Ultra Beasts will attack, kill or eat people. If they enter on Earth they could be just as bad as an Egyptian God Card."

"Not only that" Yuzu said protesting to Tatsuya "Tatsuya-kun, help me out here! Couldn't worm holes lead to something much more dangerous?"

Tatsuya blinked then recalled that she could be right, there might be something even worse than the Ultra Beasts like something that could really go on rampage one which could lead to the entire extinction of the human race. He had recalled how he and Yuzu overheard two strange beings saying something about the Blinding One whom had the ability to Consume entire Star lights. The Sun was the object that brought life to Earth so if this Blinding One ever came to steal the Sun's light, it could be bad for human kind. He sighed "I hate it when you bring up last night when we met those two strange people."

Seto remembered them too "Don't believe in everything you hear Tatsuya. What sort of creature is strong enough to steal the entire light of our Sun? I tell you nothing!"

"Please Tatsuya" Yuzu begged Tatsuya "Convince Seto to help, because you're coming with me" she pulls out her fan "Wither you want to our not!"

Tatsuya held up his hands "Easy with fans! I saw how far you hit Yuya yesterday afternoon. I'll go with you! However convincing Seto Kaiba to go is going to be a bit harder."

Mokuba had the solution "Come on Seto! I know you don't believe in stuff like what has been brought up to you right now and last night about this Blinding one but...think if Yugi is there."

"Yugi is joining in that offensive rescue mission?" Seto Kaiba asked.

Mokuba nodded "Yep, Yugi's on his way to Pegasus's mansion."

"If Yugi is on his way their then he must have his reasons" Seto Kaiba said then he sighed "Fine. I'll help but these Ultra Beasts better be real, otherwise there would be no reason to rescue this Nebby in the first place! Alright Tatsuya we'll continue the lesson later, let's all go to this meeting at Pegasus's mansion."

"Alright"

The three leave the Kaiba Dome to go to Pegasus's mansion. Mokuba, Seto,Tatsuya and Yuzu would arrive at the mansion first way ahead of Yugi whom was just walking to it. Yugi saw the four "Hey Kaiba! Hey Tatsuya! You got called for the mission too?"

"Actually" Yuzu said "Yuya informed me about it but he did ask I ask Tatsuya to get Kaiba to come along."

"Let's be clear about this Yugi" Kaiba told him "Whatever is going on, I'm not about to lose my sanity over this."

"Trust me Kaiba" Yugi warned his rival "Erin's going to need everyone's help to pull this off. If she didn't she might not've wanted us to come along to help."

They get the door and before Kaiba could burst it down, Yugi kindly knocks on the door. It Ruby Moon that answered "Who is it?"

"It's me miss!" Yugi said "Yugi Muto! I'm with Mokuba, Seto Kaiba, Tatsuya, and Yuzu. We were asked to come over for the rescue mission."

Ruby smiled "Come on in! You four are just in time!"

The four walked in and removed their shoes with Kaiba looking around seeing Sakura and Li, immediately right then he knew that this was indeed a serious matter. Anytime you see a man wearing a combat outfit like Li's and you sort of knew things were serious. Once in Ruby closes then locks the door and they make their way to the meeting room.

"We came as soon as we could!" Yugi said.

"Yugi!" Joey said waving to him.

Yuya waved to Yuzu "Hey Yuzu! I see you brought not only Seto Kaiba but Mokuba and Tatsuya as well!"

"I sure did!" Yuzu said.

Yuya walked over to Tatsuya asking him "So how'd did you convince Kaiba to help?"

"Mokuba did the convincing not me" Tatsuya answered.

Yuya blinked "Then how did she get you to join?"

Yuzu giggled pulling out her fan and Yuya whispered to Tatsuya "Never mine...She threatened to beat you with that if you refused..."

Tatsuya nodded "Yep and threatened to drag me afterwards."

Everyone then saw Gladion in front of the table which was oddly circular "Please everyone have a seat around this table and we'll begin shortly."

Everyone filed in their seats. Once everyone sat Gladion spoke "First of all I'd like to thank all of our invited guests for coming to the meeting. Thank you Mr. Muto, Mr. Kaibas, Mr and Mrs. Ruby Moon, Spinner Sun, Syoran, Tatsuya and of course Mr. Pegasus himself."

"This better be good" Seto Kaiba warned "Cause it'll be a waste of time if it's nothing really worth it."

"Oh it's worth it alright" Gladion said.

He looked at his sister "For those that haven't met us, I'm Gladion, and this is my sister Lillie. Anyway my group which is consistent of Alexis, Acelora, Blair, Erin, Joey Wheeler, Phineas with his brother Ferb, Lillie, Yuya and I would most likely do this on our own but considering what we are up against...It's best to have some help on this one."

"Yeah" Yugi agreed "More friends the more easier it is to get this done. So Joey's told me you might have an idea where Nebby is being held...Where is it held at?"

Gladion turned to the table pressing a button and thanks to Phineas and Ferb helping to create the table it soon showed a floating island in the Aloha Region "This is Aether Paradise where Lillie and I are originally from. Sadly Aether Paradise has two sides to it, a light and a dark side."

"Here we go again" Kaiba muttered "Why can't any organization just have one side to it? Not everything is like a simple coin with a light and dark side."
Gladion shrugged "Got me, I've often wondered that myself"

"What's the light side of it?" Yuzu inquired.

Gladion answered "Aether Paradise is like an animal Conservation for Pokemon. Some Wild Pokemon may get injured and then they could come here to heal up and recover. This is what most people in Aloha can safely say about it. However it's dark side is...Well it's President which is Lillie and my mother Lusamine."

Phineas pressed another button on the table showing an image of Lusamine.

"She doesn't look evil" Yuzu said.

"She's exactly like Aether Paradise" Gladion told her "On one side she's sweet as a feather, however she's also quite selfish. To her you are only as good as your worth, so if you aren't worth her attention and care she will careless about you."

Lillie agreed "Mother wasn't always like that but...Ever since Ultra Wormholes started appearing in Aloha she became obsessed with that."

"So you're telling me these Ultra Wormholes are real?" Kaiba inquired.

Gladion answered sternly "Yes, they are quite real, but no one in Aloha is sure how they are created, they even have a dimensional research lab in Aloha that researches this event."

Lillie sighed as Gladion continued his explanation "With that being said, I strongly believe Aether Paradise has Nebby somewhere in it."

"Why would they want Nebby in the first place?" Mokuba asked.

"I can't exactly say that answer" Gladion said "But Nebby is a Pokemon known as Cosmog and I used to believe it can teleport itself and others out of danger."

"It can do that" Lillie said remembering how Nebby helped them both to escape from Aether Paradise when they were surrounded.

"Teleport as in vanishing at one place and then finding yourself in the other place?" Mokuba asked.

"That's it" Gladion said "Only unlike the Pokemon Abra which can Teleport, Cosmog for some mysterious reason does this usually when it's in danger and I recently discovered it could cause damage to the world if it's provoked, so maybe it's teleportation powers makes it open Wormholes."

"If that's the case" Yugi warned "Then that's probably why Lusamine wants it, she wants to harness Cosmog's power."

As they were discussing it another image appears showing what Nebby as Cosmog looked like.

"That is like a tiny galaxy" Serenity muttered.

"No kidding" Alexis said "Who knew that Pokemon had such a dangerous power."

"This is the urgency of the situation" Gladion told the group "If our mother succeeds, and Lillie can tell you this to confirm but if our mother succeeds in using Cosmog's power, she'll unleash the Ultra Beasts upon the world."

At Gladion's words the table now seemed to show shadowy figures of the Ultra Beasts "No one has ever lived to tell the tale about seeing an Ultra Beast which is why they are blacked shadows here, so many people are wondering who they are and what they look like."

"Just looking at their shadows is big enough" Sakura muttered worried "I'd hate to see one in real life.

"Exactly the problem" Gladion told her "If we are too slow in rescuing Cosmog, mother may get her chance to unleash the Ultra Beasts upon the world. Which we can't let that happen. So our rescue mission is to rescue Cosmog from Aether Paradise..."

"You and Lillie know where that is" Kaiba told Gladion "So why would your group need help?"

Pegasus answered "Oh Kaiba-boy he was just about to answer that...Now please do us all a favor and be a good boy and listen. Or there will be no desert for you."

This got nearly everyone to laugh at the joke as Pegasus simply was referring to Kaiba as a dog.

Kaiba just glared at Pegasus for the mockery but listens carefully to the reason why. Gladion pressed a button and the image returned to Lusamine and Aether Paradise "The big reason why my group may not be successful is because, Aether Paradise maybe allied to MFWD. If so there will be lots of soldiers in Aether Paradise hiding and waiting. Plus for that matter, there is this fact, lots of employees or some of them might not even know about the Darkside of the organization they are working for."

Yugi understood "Like the Vietnam War Battle."

"Exactly" Gladion said "Our group will be fighting blind, now we could go there and rescue Nebby ourselves but we run the risks of killing an individual whom may not know exactly about the darkside of Aether Paradise. It's something we'd like to not happen."

"Plus" Lillie said "Aether Paradise has three well four levels in it that is taken by an elevator."

"Making the island very big for exploration" Gladion added on.

"I see it now" Kaiba said "Even with a nine or eight person force you might not be able to cover the entire area."

"Exactly" Gladion said "So for this meeting we're taking suggestions on what our battle strategy is and who'd like to help us out."

Yugi had his answer ready "Count me in! I can't take it that someone like your mother plans to use another living creature's powers as her own and a means to get what she wants! I'm all in!"

Yuzu raised her hand "Tatsuya and I are in!"

"Hold it Yuzu, Tatsuya's my student too" Seto Kaiba said.

Tatsuya sweats seeing Yuzu bring out a fan "Mr. Kaiba...Let me suggest I do go with her...I don't want to be smacked by that fan."

"Trust me you don't" Yuya told him "It hurts."

Tatsuya then smirked out "Besides...Getting hit by Yuzu's fan is Yuya's job."

Kaiba studied the scene and finally decided to join "Fine, I'll help this group. Yugi and I are strategist. I'm sure he and I can think of a way to determine whose really an innocent bystander and who isn't, but that's besides the point...Aether Paradise is allied to MFWD and they attacked my Duel Academy, kidnapping two of my students and using them as bait to draw out Erin so they could kill her and steal her Sakura Cards. MFWD needs to be taught a lesson" Kaiba looks at the image of Aether Paradise "And they will when we take the rescue mission offensive."

"Sakura and I aren't duelist" Syoran Li admitted "But we're with Erin to the end."

"Perhaps we can help the ones that are innocent out of the way and clear of the violence
Sakura said.

"As will I" Eriol said "Ruby Moon and Spinner Sun will do what they can to support our forces from fighting at MFWD soldiers to evacuating the workers whom aren't aware of Aether Paradise's darkside."

"I can help on the evacuation too" Mokuba said.

"You already got my support" Pegasus said.

"Alright then" Gladion said he turned to Phineas "Did you and Ferb make more Duel Armor?"

Phineas nodded as Ferb came up with four more sets "You bet we did!"

"Good" Gladion said "Give them to Seto Kaiba, Yugi Muto, Yuzu and Tatsuya"

"On it!" Phineas said.

The two boys give their allies the armor.

"What's is this chest armor going to do?" Kaiba asked as Tatsuya, Yugi and Yuzu liked what they were wearing.

Erin answered "That's Duel Armor! Phineas and Ferb made it when we were rescuing Lillie in Malie Gardens. It may look like yellow chest armor but...watch me!"

She pulls out Fox Fire Phoenix Kyubbi Mode "Take any Monster and then" she then put the Duel Monster card in the slot "Do this!"

A mechanical voice came from the armor "Duel Monster Power Card inserted, Duel Armor mode engaging."

Yellow light glows around the yellow armor engulfing Erin and the armor began to reshape itself. The armor covered Erin's body turning her into a human version of Fox Fire Phoneix Kyubbi Mode. Erin stood looking at herself as her Duel Disk had folded up into the armor and in her hands was a blaster.

Kaiba blinked "YOU TURNED YOURSELF INTO A DUEL MONSTER?"
"THAT IS SO COOL!" Tatsuya, Yugi, and Yuzu shouted.

"I'm more than just a Duel Monster" Erin told him "Duel Armor when a card is placed in changes your armor to protect your body from enemy blasts. The more attack points one has the more you can survive heavy hits. My armor can take a least three to four heavy hits in the same area before killing me."

Joey grinned looking at Kaiba "She's right Kaiba! Want to see my try it! Here watch me!"

He choose his Red-Eyes Black Dragon and a mechanical voice announced "Duel Monster Power Card inserted...Duel Armor mode engaging"

Yellow light formed around Joey's body and his Duel Armor soon became the armor of Red-Eyes Black Dragon with a blaster in hand "See Kaiba I can do it!"

Kaiba laughed "I do see it Wheeler! But you can only take two to three heavy hits, I can do better than that."

Kaiba checked his deck "For example let me show you what a true soldier going on a mission chooses!"

He purposely choose his Blue-Eyes White Dragon as a means to put Wheeler in his place, not wanting Blue-Eyes Ultimate just yet. He merely was going to give Wheeler a demonstration on what a good soldier in his mind used "Duel Monster Power Card inserted...Duel armor mode engaging"

Yellow light formed around Kaiba's body and his Duel Armor soon became the armor of Blue-Eyes White Dragon with a blaster in his hand.

"Ah! I knew you'd be Blue-Eyes!" Joey shouted.

"Just putting a demonstration Wheeler" Kaiba said looking at his armor then he grinned while looking at Phineas "I don't normally endorse weapons but this Duel Armor you made is amazing. Who would've known yellow chest plates of armor can turn you into a Duel Monster."

Phineas nodded "Hey given the fact this had to be done we had to make armor that was strong."

Yugi smiled holding Dark Magician "So that means I can be Dark Magician!"

He smiled "I gotta try it out!"

He pulled out his Dark Magician Card and inserted it "Duel Monster Power Card inserted, Duel armor Mode engaging."

Dark light formed around Yugi and when it ended Yugi had indeed became Dark Magician with the other weapon he had was the Dark Magician's wand. He he did a practice aim at a target that Phineas had set up for it. His wand blasted out Dark Magician's Dark Magic Attack at the target destroying it "Neat!"

"Ah, but Yug...You could be Obelisk the Tormentor too!"

Yugi shivered slightly "I'd rather not try to fuse my Duel Armor mode with a God Card, who knows if the Duel Armor could contain such power."

"In theory it can hold any power" Ferb told Yugi.

"Yeah but I like Dark Magician anyway."

Yuzu pulled out her card smiling "Then I'd better be Mozarta the Melodious Mastra!"

She inserts her card into the slot with the mechanical voice going "Duel Monster Power Card inserted, Duel Armor mode engaging."

Yuzu's body glew yellow and she became Mozarta the Melodious Mastra with a blaster at her side "NEAT!"

"And a good one!" Phineas said "You're effect can help you summon the other Divas you have in your deck into battle! That can be a big plus on offense and defense."

Yugi turned to Phineas "Since I'm Dark Magician couldn't I use certain Spell Card like Thousand Knives and other cards specifically for Dark Magician?"

"I suppose you can which means you could technically also summon Dark Magician Girl to help you too with the right Spell Card."

"Sweat!"

"I'm up then" Tatsuya said taking out Horus the Black Flame Dragon Lv8 and inserting it into his card slot "Here it goes!"

The mechanical voice issues "Duel Monster Power Card inserted, Duel armor Mode engaging!"

Yellow light glows around Tatsuya's body and he soon became Horus the Black Flame Dragon Level 8 with a blaster at his side "WOW!"

"I must admit, I'm a bit jealous!" Mokuba said "I now wish I got into the game of Duel Monsters."

Phineas turned to Seto Kaiba, Tatsuya, Yugi, and Yuzu "The higher your attack points are for your Duel Monster the more the damage you can unleash."

"Trust me I already figured that out" Kaiba admitted then he grinned "I've always wanted to merge with Blue-Eyes White Dragon and now I have!"

"Okay so four of our friends got Duel Armor" Erin said to Gladion.

Gladion nodded "So we need to think on a strategy."

Lillie smiled "Can I have Duel Armor brother?"

"I suppose you can" Gladion admitted.

Phineas gave her one "Here you go Lillie."

"Thanks!" she said.

Yugi sat down reviewing Aether Paradise as he was beginning to think of a strategy. Kaiba was right there with them determined to get a bit of payback to MFWD for targeting his Duel Academy. As this was going on Gladion turned to Phineas "We're going to need a ride to get there."

Kaiba answered "I got one, we'll take Kaiba Craft 4 which was rebuilt as a blimp."

"That'll be slow" Lillie told him.

"Trust me sometimes it's a good idea to be slow" Kaiba told her "It would give us more time to prepare for our offensive."

"Our boat we made isn't going to be helpful this time" Phineas admitted "I can guess Aether Paradise will have navel ships surrounding it so we won't get in that way. Through the air is our best bet. So we may have to take Kaiba Craft Four."

Kaiba pressed a button on his coat "It's already on it's way."

"Then let's get to it" Yugi suggested "We'll think of a plan while getting closer to it."

Kaiba turned to Phineas "We can take Kaiba Craft 4 to Aether Paradise."
Phineas nodded "And we can send out Platypus drones to get Intel on our query good idea!"

The group prepared to leave on Kaiba Craft 4. Phineas sent out drones to scout ahead so they can safely prepare for the attack.
