Chapter 25: General of Academia

Everyone, after along, dreadful hiatus...I HAVE RETURNED! I'm so sorry for leaving everyone habging for so long, but then spring break ended, work got harder, extra curricular activities and finals...god it was a nightmare. But thankfully, I am now on summer vacation, and I hope to at least be able to upload 20 chapters or so before summer ends. In the meanwhile, let's start this off by seeing what General Kaiser's really made of!

(Xyz Dimension: Heartland)

One of the Obelisk Force duelists began the duel, "Antique Gear – Hound Dog, come forth!" The robotic hound appeared on the field and gave a mechanical howl to the group (ATTR:Earth/LV:3 /Atk:1000/Def:1000). "I activate Ancient Armageddon Gear, set 3 cards, and end my turn."

"My turn, Draw!" Luna called out, "I summon Moon Magician in attack mode!" Next to her, a mage dressed in a wizard's robe and hat with a scepter materialized onto the field (ATTR:Earth/ LV:4/Atk:1800/Def:1600). "Moon Magician's special effect lets me add a 'Moon' monster to my hand. Now I'll play Double Summon in order to summon it, come forth Moon Gardna!" A little bunny with a helmet and shield came forth as well, (ATTR:Earth/LV:4/Atk:1800/Def: 1600). "Now I'll use both monsters to build the overlay network! Angering dragon with moon rock hide, end your timeless revolution and come forth to fight, Xyz Summon! Rank 4, Kachi Kochi Dragon!" From the overlay network, a draconian beast made out of gigantic stalagmites of shiny rocks and possibly crystal rose out and gave a great roar (ATTR:Earth/Rk:4/Atk:2100/Def: 1300). "Battle, go Kachi Kochi, attack that soulless hound!" Luna cried out as her monster charged.

Her enemy grinned, "Continuous Trap Card, Fusion Trench, activate!" With that one of his cards sprang out and a barrier blocked Luna's dragon, "Now only Fusion monsters can launch attacks!"

Luna cursed, "I'll set 3 cards and call it a turn."

"My turn," A red Academia duelist called out, "I summon Antique Gear – Hound Dog as well!" He grinned as another hound appeared, "Once per turn, when my opponent controls a monster, I can deal them 600 damage, Hound Flame!"

With that, a burst of fire shot at Luna…however, "Continuous Trap, Xyz Charge Up, activate! Now I take no damage from your Hound's effect!" With that, a rocky barrier surrounded her while she smiled coolly.

"I'll use Hound Dog's effect to merge it with the other Hound in my hand to call out Antique Gear – Double Bite Hound Dog!" With that, a two headed mechanical mutt appeared next to the duelist, and eyeing Yuto, he grinned, "Double Bite Hound Dog, attack him directly!" However, to his confusion, his monster didn't move a muscle. "What's going on?"

"Did you really expect I'd let you cowards attack my comrades?" Luna said in a cold tone laced with venom, "The moment you summoned your Double Bite Hound, I activated a set card, Demise of the Land, allowing me to activate a Field Spell from my deck, and I chose Level Denial. With it, monsters with levels can't attack." She then smirked as her opponent bit his tongue.

Shun analyzed, "Guess we're at a 2 way street, none of us can attack. It's going to come down to which barrier is destroyed 1st."

Shingo whined, "But that also means none of mine nor Gongenzaka's monsters can do anything either way."

Luna sighed, "I'm sorry, but I can't just change my whole strategy at the drop of a hat."

"We'll figure a way around this, my turn, I draw!" Yuto called out as he looked at his cards, the field, his friends and allies, the family they were protecting, and finally the barrier of light where Kaito was dueling their enemy's general. "We have no choice…"

(Within the light)

The battlefield that Kaito and Kaiser Ryo were in was that of a wasteland with straps of machinery and broken down factories. "This place will suit your funeral, where you shall finally repent." Kaito said, his calmness juxtaposing the unbridled fury that lay in him.

"That remains to be seen, many of your kind have said that, and while some did impress me, I have to say that the friendship made a quick end. You can go first, you'll need it." Ryo replied, not showing a hint of emotion.

Kaito LP: 4000

Ryo LP: 4000

"My turn, I summon Cipher Wing from my hand!" Once again the familiar appearance of Kaito's Cipher Wing returned (ATTR:Light/LV:4/Atk:1400/Def:1200). "Now do to my other Wing's effect, I can special summon it to the field, then I'll activate Cipher Interfere and set 2 cards and end my turn!" With his field set, he beckoned Ryo to begin.

"Draw." Ryo stated, "When you control a monster while I don't I can special summon this monster to the field, come forth, Cyber Dragon." With that, a metallic serpentine like monster rose out of the wasteland and eyed Kaito (ATTR:Light/LV:5/Atk:2100/Def:1600). "Next I activate the Spell, Evolution Burst. Now I'll destroy one of your mechanical flies." With that the mechanical dragon launched a beam of energy right at one of Kaito's monsters, however…

"Continuous Trap activate, Split Guard! Since I have 2 or more monsters on the field, the first time they'd get destroyed, they aren't!" With that a prism of light surrounded the Cipher Wing, neutralizing the energy beam.

"I set 3 cards and end my turn. Not bad, but I assume you have more to show?" Kaiser Ryo stated, his emotionless face unchanging, save for his eyes which seemed to pierce right through Kaito, dissecting his every move.

Gritting his teeth, Kaito growled, "My turn, Draw!" He smiled as he saw the card. "I summon another Cipher Wing!" With 3 Wings on the field, Kaito's real strategy began, "I now tribute one of my Cipher Wing's to double the levels of my other two to 8! Now I can Xyz Summon my true beast! Galaxy shining in the darkness, embody the demon of revenge and become my very servant! Xyz Summon! Descend! Rank 8! Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon!" With that, Kaito's ace dragon once again emerged, ready to fight to the bitter end.

"At this point, I activate one of my face downs. Quick – Play Spell, Demise of the Land! Now I can activate a Field Spell from my deck, and I choose Cyberdark Inferno!" With that, the area around them changed, the skies darkening while fire and smoke circled around them. Burned dragon scales and machine parts littered the entire area.

Not allowing himself to be scared, Kaito called out, "I activate Cipher Dragon's special ability, by detaching one Overlay Unit, I can take control of your monster, treat it as Cipher Dragon and give it 3000 attack points, go Cipher Projection!" With that, Galaxy Eyes swallowed one of the orbs of light circling it and then unleashed a stream of light from its wings. Cyber Dragon's image distorted like a mirage before reforming on Kaito's field as an illuminated but hollowed version of Kaito's true Cipher Dragon! "Now attack, go Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon, Eternity Cipher Stream! Thanks to Cipher Interfere, Cipher Dragon's attack is doubled, now disappear!" With that, a blast of energy erupted from the mouth of the dragon, aimed right for Ryo Marufuji.

"Trap Card, open, Power Wall!" Kaiser roared as he swept his arm across his duel disk, "Now I can reduce the damage to 0, and for every 500 points of damage I would've taken, I can now send a card from the top of my deck to the graveyard!" Removing 12 cards from the top of his deck, Kaiser though them at the incoming blast as they formed a protective barrier that kept him safe.

Kaito cursed under his breath, "Turn end, and at this moment, Cipher Dragon's effect wares off, and Cyber Dragon returns to your field as it was before." With that the illusory dragon then reshaped on Kaiser's field as Cyber Dragon once more.

"Draw." Kaiser looked at the card and allowed a grin to come to his face, "I now discard Cyberdark Claw in order to add one Cyberdark Spell or trap from my deck to my hand, and I choose Cyberdark Impact! Now I'll use it." He said as the card came from his deck, to his hand, then the field. "Now I can take the Cyberdark Horn, Edge, and Keel, return them to the deck, and call out their fused being!" With that, illusory images of the 3 dark mechanical monstrosities appeared before merging into the fusion vortex, "Horns of darkness, tempered steel edge, and vicious burning keel. Merge and become the mechanical marvel to which all of our enemies will kneel! Fusion Summon! Come forth, level 8! Cyberdark Dragon!" With that, a new mechanical monster roared and emerged on the field, its body parts an ugly fusion of its components, battle functionality over beauty (ATTR:Dark/LV:8/Atk:1000/Def:1000).

Kaito's eyes widened, "That's why you sent so many cards from your deck to the graveyard, isn't it!?"

"Half right, I've only gotten started, now I'll activate my new monster's special ability, when it's fusion summoned I can equip it with a Dragon-type monster in the graveyard and have it gain attack points equal to that monsters attack points, so I'll equip it with Infernal Dragon and have it gain 2000 extra points. Also, thanks to its other effect, it gains 100 points for every monster currently in my graveyard, so since I have 2, that's 3200 attack points total." With that, the mechanical beast shot cords from its underbelly directly into the ground, picking up the corpse of the Infernal Dragon as a means of sustenance, its body radiating with power. "Battle, go Cyberdark Dragon, Full Darkness Burst!" With that, the beast launched a black shock wave from its mouth right at the Cipher Dragon.

Not missing a beat, Kaito activated his other face down, "Trap card, Double Cipher, activate! Now I can detach Cipher Dragon's remaining overlay unit in order to summon a copy of it from my deck!" With that, the orb of light orbiting the dragon went into the overlay unit, however…

"Counter Trap activate, Trap Jammer! Since you activated a Trap card during the battle phase I can negate its activation and destroy it!" Kaiser roared as his last face down opened.

"What?" Kaito said shocked as his plan collapsed, his trap and dragon both destroyed now (Kaito LP: 3800).

"Now Cyber Dragon, direct attack. Evolution Burst!" With that, the serpentine machine shot a blast of energy right at Kaito, the force sending him back several yards. When the smoke cleared, Kaito painfully got back up (Kaito LP: 1700). "Turn end. If that's really all you can do then you might as well quit."

Kaito growled, "Is that so, well you don't know me well enough. After what you did to my home, my father, and my little brother! Until they're all back I'll never give up, not until you pay!"

Kaiser simply closed his eyes and sighed, "If you truly want your family back, then accept defeat and you family will return." As Kaito just looked at him with a confused expression, Ryo continued, "Academia intends to revive all the carded people of the Xyz Dimension. So eventually, you will see your family again. Believe me, I have a brother myself. I understand the kind of fury one would feel at losing their sibling."

Kaito simply glared at him, "Is that how you justify this, just try to repair the damage and pretend it never happened? Do you have any idea how many nights I've spent sleepless, wondering if the next day will be the last? Trying to hold Haruto and make him smile even as our home was burned?" Kaito then laughed, "I bet your brother's real proud of the kind of monster you are, probably even following in you footsteps. When I'm done with you I'll burst right through Academia, then I'll find this brother of yours, and then he'll have to feel the same pain I went through while you watch, and suffer. He'll call out for his big brother to save him, and you'll never be able to anything at all…" He then let a sneer come to his face as he stared down on Kaiser.

"…Make your move now…and pray that it saves you." Kaiser simply stared right back at Kaito with an intense expression on the otherwise emotionless face, as if counting the countdown to Kaito's fall.

(Outside the light)

Shingo staggered back as he got hit by another flamethrower (Shingo LP: 1200). "Guys, we're in a bit of a tight spot." Master of the understatement, since the enemy had multiple Double-Bite, Triple-Bite an Ultimate Hound Dogs, and several spells and traps on the field. Meanwhile they only had a Rise Falcon, Ogre Shutendoji, Kachi Kochi, Silent Boots and Ragged Gloves (which had become level 4 due to Break Sword's effect), Big Star, and 2 of Yuto's face downs.

Cursing, Yuto drew from his deck and looked surprised at what he found, "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon…" He then examined a spell in his hand, called Odd-Eyes Accel. "Weird how I got these now."

"I guess since you're in control this time, you got some of my cards." Yuya said within his mind.

Yuto then examined then examined his deck and extra deck with his duel disk, and smiled after he found something powerful in his extra deck. "This will help, alright here it goes. I activate the Spell, Odd-Eyes Accel, now I can normal summon Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon from my hand without the need to tribute, so come on out!" With that, a familiar red dragon roared as it emerged on the field (ATTR:Dark/LV:7/Atk:2500/Def:2000).

"When did Yuto get that?" Luna wondered.

"It's Yuya's ace monster, just like how Yuya had Yuto's Dark Rebellion before…" Shingo was silenced by Shun hitting him in the back of the head. "The hell was that for?"

Shun merely looked at Luna, "The story can wait for later, for now, let's hope Yuto can make some use out of it."

"Time for my own ace, I use Ragged Gloves and Silent Boots to build the overlay network! Formed from the pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now descend! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" With that, Yuto's own ace dragon roared as it awoke next to its partner (ATTR:Dark/Rk:4/Atk:2500/ Def:2000). "Sorry about this Shingo, but I'm going to use Rebellion's ability on Big Star, you'll thank me later! Treason Discharge!" With both overlay units gone, Yuto's plan could continue. "Now I banish both Gloves and Boots to use their effect, in the case of the former, I send Pantom Tomb Shield from my deck to the graveyard and in the case of the latter, I add the Phantom Knights of Possession from my deck to my hand. Now I activate my Possession Spell, making my Dark Rebellion go from a Rank 4 to a level 4, then I'll back it up with its effect in the graveyard, banishing it to make Dark Rebellion's level the same as Odd-Eyes, being level 7." With that, the shadow of Odd-Eyes transferred to Dark Rebellion, forming a red aura as its level matched the Pendulum Dragon. "Now I'm ready, I overlay both of my dragon's to rebuild the overlay network!Dragon of dual colored eyes. Unleash that black scale of wrath, and eradicate all opposing enemies! Xyz Summon! Come forth, Rank 7! Dragon with eyes of rage! Supreme King Black Dragon – Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon!" With that, the black hybrid of Yuya's and Yuto's aces roared as it blasted from the overlay network and on to the battlefield (ATTR:Dark/ Rk:7/Atk:3000/Def:2500). "Since I use Dark Rebellion to Xyz summon it, Odd-Eyes Rebellion now destroys all level 7 or lower monsters and deals damage to their controllers equal to their attack points! Overlord Howling!" With that, the specter of Dark Rebellion was absorbed by the larger black dragon, which then let out a piercing roar that destroyed all the Double-Bite, Triple-Bite, and regular hounds…along with Big Star and Shutendoji.

Gongenzaka grit his teeth while Shingo flew back screaming, "Whose side are you on?!"

"Yours, sorry guys, but don't you get it? Now I can end all of them! I use an overlay unit so my dragon can attack for each monster destroyed by its effect!" Yuto shouted as Rebellion swallowed an overlay unit whit electricity flowed through its wings and fangs.

Gongenzaka looked at the Obelisk Force with a remaining Ultimate Hound and chuckled, "I see, you needed the extra attacks to take him out."

Shingo's eyes widened, "So that's why he reduced Big Star's power, so I wouldn't get completely wrecked."

"Now I banish Tomb Shield from my graveyard to negate the effect of your Fusion Trench, and activate both of my Shadow Veil traps to increase Rebellion's power to 3600! Time to end this, go Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon! Imperial Path Revolt – Strike Disobey!" With that, Odd-Eyes Rebellion bore its fangs through the ground as it attempted to strike down all of the Obelisk Force, however…

Intrusion Penalty: 2000 LP

A cloaked figure leaped towards the incoming dragon, ignoring the penalty, before pulling out a card, "Destiny HERO Time Guy effect activates, by giving half of my life, I can special summon it and end your turn right here and now!" With that, a caped crusader with a pocket watch created a shock wave that froze the dragon and forced it back to Yuto's side.

Shun growled, "Who are you!?"

The man simply removed his hood and spoke, "I am Academia's Commander-in-Chief, Edo Phoenix. And it's my turn now…"

(Inside the light)

"Draw!" Kaito then looked at his only card and grinned, "Rank-Up-Magic Revival Cipher Force, activate! Now I can revive Cipher Dragon and rank it up to a rank 9!" With that, Kaito's dragon revived and re-entered the overlay network. "Galaxy shining in the darkness, transform the demon of revenge and make it my very servant! Descend, Rank 9! Neo Galaxy –Eyes Cipher Dragon!" In spite of Kaiser's nonplussed reaction, Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon returned, again with 3 head instead of 1 (ATTR:Light/Rk:9/Atk:4500/Def:3800). "Now I activate Neo Cipher Dragon's special effect, I use an overlay unit to take control of one of your monsters, treat it as Neo Galaxy-Eyes, and give it 4500 attack points!"

"So basically do what you just did, which I easily countered before?" Kaiser then yawned, "Just a friendly tip, you won't be able to take control of Cyberdark Dragon, since Cyberdark Inferno prevents it from being targeted or destroyed by opposing effects."

"Taking control of your Cyber Dragon will be enough! Now thanks to Cipher Interfere, Neo Cipher Dragon's attack points will double to 9000! This is the end, go Neo Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon, Ultimate Cipher Stream of Destruction!" With that, the dragon launched a powerful blast of energy right at Cyberdark Dragon, creating a huge explosion. However, as Kaito grinned in triumph, his eyes widened as Kaiser and his dragon continued to stand unharmed, the area around them simply wavering around like a mirage before settling back to normal. "But how?!"

"Remember how I said I had 2 monsters in my graveyard, sorry if you only knew one was Cyberdark Claw." Kaiser then showed a new monster card in his hand, "Electromagnetic Turtle. Though I can only use its power once in a duel, in return I can end your turn. Now if your done can I go now?"

Kaito grit his teeth, "Turn end."

"Draw." Kaiser then examined his new card, "I send Cyberdark Cannon from my hand to my graveyard to add Cyberdark Keel to my hand which I now summon in defense mode!" With that, a jet black mechanical serpent coiled on the field (ATTR:Dark/LV:4/Atk:800/Def:800). "Thanks to Cyberdark Keel's effect, I can equip it with a level 3 or lower dragon from my graveyard and have it gain attack equal to that dragon's attack, so I'll equip it with Cyberdark Cannon." With that the dragon brought the corpse of the beast from the dirt, using it to increase its power. "I now switch Cyberdark Dragon into defense mode. Turn end."

Kaito laughed, "What happened to "Your last turn will likely be my last?'"

"Good duelists don't need to rush, but you wouldn't know that." Kaiser replied.

"Whatever, my turn, Draw!" Kaito then looked at the card. "Can't use Double Exposure now, so all I can do is attack! Both of my monsters will now destroy your own! Twin Ultimate Cipher Stream!" Despite both mechanical menaces getting hit by the blast, only the dragons equipped to them were gone.

"Thanks to Cyberdark Dragon's and Keel's effect, if they would be destroyed I can destroy the equip cards instead, also during battle, Cannon's effect let me send a monster from my deck to the graveyard, and when it goes to the graveyard while it's equipped I can draw one card."

As Kaiser added a new card to his hand, Kaito simply stated, "Turn End."

"Draw." Kaiser simply drew the card and looked at Kaito. "The turn to your defeat starts now. I activate Resurrection of the Dead to revive Proto-Cyber Dragon from the graveyard." With that, the monster that Kaiser sent to his graveyard on Kaito's turn revived (ATTR:Light/LV:3/Atk: 1100/Def:600). "Now I activate Inferno Reckless Summon from my hand, since I special summoned a monster with 1500 or less attack points, I can now summon as many copies of it from my deck as I can, and while I don't have any more copies of Proto-Cyber, I do have 2 more of the actual Cyber Dragon!" With that, 2 more Cyber Dragons appeared on Kaiser Ryo's field, and the man finally let out a smirk. "Time to end this, I use all my monsters and the monster you took from me in order to fusion summon once more."

Kaito's eyes widened, "What, you don't have a Fusion spell, and how can you use the monster I took?"

"The monster I'm calling requires not a spell, and can use material from either field to summon. Now I use Cyberdark Dragon, Cyberdark Keel, Proto-Cyber Dragon, and every single Cyber Dragon, even the one you brainwashed, to Fusion Summon! Mechanical marvel that sets all other machines free, liberate them all and take in them all so we may pursue victory! Fusion Summon! Come forth, Level 8! Chimeratech Fortress Dragon!" With that, all the machine parts merged together into the fusion portal before forming the serpentine behemoth that towered over the lone Neo Cipher Dragon (ATTR:Dark/LV:8/Atk:0/Def:0). "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon gains attack points equal to the number of monsters used in its fusion summon times 1000, so I think you can see the difference in power." Though the power difference was now 1500, Ryo decided to test something to see if he could bang the final nail into this coffin. "I banish Fusion Substitute from my graveyard to return Cyberdark Dragon to my extra deck and draw one card from my actual deck." As Kaiser looked at his new card, he sighed "I wonder how I was cursed with such talent. You get points for trying, but I doubt you could defeat Christopher Arclight, let alone me. Battle, Go Fortress Dragon, Climactic Fortress Blast! From my hand I activate the Quick Play Spell Limiter Removal, doubling Fortress Dragon's attack to 12000! This is the end!"

As The blast reduced the Cipher Dragon to smithereens, Kaito felt himself get caught in the blast, getting flown back as the energy broke the duel field surrounding them. The area around them disintegrating, Yuto and the others turned back to see Kaito landing near them, his body smoking with a dazed expression on his face (Kaito LP: 0).

As Shun then looked at the approaching Kaiser, then at Edo and the Obelisk Force, he could only ask, "Is this the end?"

Suddenly, everyone was covered by a shadow as a figure from above seemed to block out the sun.

Edo cursed, "Is that another one of your mechanical vultures?"

"No that's not a bird, I think it's a plane." Shingo replied as it descended.

As Kaito laid on the ground his eyes widened in recognition, "You're both wrong, it's…"

"GET AWAY FROM KAITO-SAMA!" The machine suddenly blared as it dropped several mini bombs on the Obelisk Force and Kaiser.

Kaiser's eyes widened, "Scatter and take cover!" He yelled as he proceeded to dash back, not that he needed, since they had all done just that.

Yuto wondered why they had done that instead of using their Solid Vision monsters to absorb the blasts, but he guessed that in a surprise situation of mortal peril, most people just revert to the flight option between flight or fight, instead of remembering certain things that could save.

The machine the made a gentle land next to them amidst the chaos of bombs going off. "Orbital 7 reporting for duty." It droned as a young man hopped off of it.

Yuto smiled in recognition, "Michael, great to see you're alright! And you couldn't have come at a better time."

Michael smiled, "I just managed to finsh the repairs and saw you guys were in a tight spot, so we came in her flying." He then turned to Orbital, "Alright, let's get out of here now!"

"Are you okay Kaito-sama?" The robot droned affectionately as it helped the man up, before locking on to Kaito's back like a jet point.

"Better now that you're back, Orbital." Kaito then looked at the group, "Grab a wing and let's go!" Without a second to waste, they all grabbed a wing and Orbital blasted into the sky at full throttle. As he felt air hitting his face as they soared, a wistful smile came over Kaito, "You know, this actually reminds me of when Haruto and I…" Kaito was cut off when a blast of energy almost hit them. Kaito then looked down to see Edo Phoenix up with a monster while everyone other adversary regrouped and groaned "Orbital, stop screwing up when I'm day dreaming! What's going on, you're moving slower than usual!?"

"My apologies Kaito-sama, but I wasn't built carrying a great fat oaf in mind." The droid snarked as he dodged another blast.

Said fat oaf then whispered in rage, "Another word and you will never be put back together."

"Understood, not that I'm not use to death threats." It replied.

Edo cursed before taking out a spell, "Equip Spell, Destiny Bow, activate!" With that, a crossbow gauntlet forged itself on his ace monster's arm before Edo roared, "Destiny HERO Dystopia Guy, Dystopia Arrow Blow!" With that, his monster launched a precise laser shot that hit the left wing.

"Augh!" Michael and Yuto screamed as they were knocked off from Orbital as the machine spiraled out of control.

"NO!" Luna screamed as she tried to jump after them, only to be stopped by Shingo who kept a hold of her.

"Don't be crazy, look." He said as he pointed down at Yuto and Michael, the latter having made a Duel Anchor between himself and Yuto while manifesting a chain the attached to a building they were descending near, letting them slow their descent as they slowly made their way down.

Luna could only barely make out Yuto's face as he looked at them, then noticed the many Antique Gear Reactor and Gadjiltron Dragon they were now surrounded by in the air, keeping them from reaching their falling comrades. "Yuto…please survive."

"They'll be fine Luna, let's just focus on not getting eaten by these mechanical flying dogs." Kaito stated as Orbital prepared for combat measures.

From below, Kaiser approached Edo, "I'll join the aerial brigade and see if we can gun down their flying members. You go with the remaining Obelisk Force and see if you can find the rebels that fell down."

"Understood sir." Edo then radioed in a squadron of Obelisk Force and told them to hunt for Yuto and Michael while he met up with them.

As Yuto and Michael shakily landed on the ground, Yuto found himself remembering the building in front of them, "That's the old Spade Branch School, let's hide in there for now." With that, the 2 made their way inside as they prepared to do whatever it took to reach the Duel Lodge and survive.

Fanmade OC Cards

Rank-Up-Magic Revival Cipher Force (Spell:Normal) - Target one "Cipher" Xyz monster in your graveyard, special summon it, then special summon a "Cipher" Xyz monster one Rank higher than it using that monster as Xyz material (This special summon is treated as an Xyz Summon).
