The three friends were walking back from the Miami City School. Sora had met up with Yuzu and Yuya at the front of the school and were walking down the long sidewalk. Yuzu looked at Sora. "So Sora, what is it like staying around Yuya's?" she asked. Sora turned back and smiled.

"It's ok. His circus equipment is quite fun!" he replied with a big smirk. Yuya looked annoyed at him.

"It's not circus equipment! It's entertainment equipment!" said Yuya with an annoyed tone. Sora did a sarcastic smirk at him. Yuzu let out a few giggles as she held her hand to her mouth to try and hide it.

"Well it is technically!" she said while laughing during words.

"Whatever!" replied Yuya. Sora looked at Yuzu.

"How is Rin getting on at your home joint school?!" he asked Yuzu. Yuzu looked awkward.

"Well... let's just say she is something different!" Yuzu replied.

"How so?" asked Yuya.

"Well... she is quite organized and has alot of rules to do with cleanliness!" Yuzu said once more with an innocent tone.

"You mean she's bossy." replied Sora as he put it bluntly. Yuzu continued to look embarrassed as the three continued to walk down the sidewalk.

Playground - Thirty Minutes Later

Yuzu, Yuya and Sora were all now in the Maiami City playground. It was getting later into the afternoon and the sky was slowly turning into dusk. Yuzu and Yuya were sat on a bench while Sora hung upside down on some monekybars. Yuya looked at Yuzu.

"So.. when are we going to talk about a plan to get our items back?" Yuya asked. Yuzu shaked her head.

"I don't know..." she replied. Yuzu was still reeling from the guilt of losing her item. Yuya was slightly more accepting of the fact.

"What's wrong?" asked Sora.

"It's. It's because im weak. I lost a vital duel..." she said with a slow and saddened tone.

"But I lost aswell. We just need to get them back!" replied Yuya. "I know you lack the confidence sometimes Yuzu but you have been stronger because of the bracelet."

"How do you know?!" she shouted as went back into her angry mode. Yuzu stood up and towered over Yuya.

"What... what do you mean?!" he replied.

"Those items! On that day against Shingo. I had the whole crowd on my back because I got nervous infront of them. Next thing I know I am entertaining them all with confidence and style. I didn't do that! These visions?! What on earth is going on with us?!" she replied, stressed out.

"So you're feeling scared of what's happened..." said Yuya. "It's ok it's jus-"

"How can it be ok?!" said Yuzu as she interrupted Yuya. "How are you treating this as normal?! You and Rin... why aren't you scared?!" Yuya stood up after Yuzu had finished. He looked to reassure his best friend who was slowly getting worse with fear.

"Im scared to Yuzu. And along with everyone else. Im sure Rin is wondering what is going on. But there's nothing wrong with us!"

"But how can you say that?! There are these five dimensions including this one, we all have different people who look like us, there is this Academia thing that the XYZ user spoke about and Reiji has our items! How is that nothing!" Yuzu replied. Sora looked narrow eyed at Yuzu as she mentioned the word Academia.

"I know it it's scary but panicking will do us no good!" replied Yuya as he continued to shout. "Whatever this magic is, we will solve this!"

"Im done!" said Yuzu with an annoyed tone. Yuzu grabbed her bag and begun to walk off, not looking back.

"YUZU!" yelled Yuya as he held out his arm trying to stop her but she had walked to far already. Yuzu had left the playground with Yuya looking down at the ground. Sora swung off the monkeybars and walked to Yuya.

"Well your girlfriend isn't happy." he said with a joking tone.

"Not now Sora. Plus I have told you numerous times that she isn't." said an annoyed Yuya.

"What is with her? Just walking off like that?" Sora asked.

"She is worried. She might have an anger problem but she also get's worried very easily. And with what's going on, I am not surprised." replied Yuya with a concerned tone. "Come on, let's go home. It's getting dark." Yuya begun to walk off but Sora didn't follow. Yuya looked around and stopped. "What is it Sora?"

"I have some business I need to take care off." he replied with an innocent tone."

"But it's getting dark?" replied Yuya.

"I know. I just need to sort this out!" said Sora as he went running off. Yuya looked on.

Warehouse

Sora had made his way to the abandoned warehouse where Rin first entered. There was nothing in it expect for empty crates. Sora looked around and made sure he wasn't being followed and once he was certain he was safe, the Fusion User got out his yellow duel disk and tapped it.

"This is Sora. I am in location." he said to the duel disk. A few seconds passed and nothing happened but right before Sora, a purple portal appeared. Sora stood straight as he didn't know who was coming through.

A male body came out of the purple portal. The male was wearing a orange jacket with a blue shirt underneath. He had red hair. Sora's expression changed from fear to annoyance.

"Dennis..." said Sora with an annoyed tone. Dennis looked at Sora and bowed in a showman like style.

"Sora. It's been quite a while. I see you got our message then." Dennis replied.

"Yes I did. What do you want?!" Sora replied.

"Whoa!" said Dennis as he held his hands up to fend Sora off. "I have been here for literally seconds. Didn't you miss me? Before you respond, remember who you are speaking to." Dennis smirked afterwards as Sora shook his fist.

"I know. Sorry." replied Sora.

"Yes. As the Professor's right hand man, it is down to me to make sure all operations on the field are running smoothly. I am his eyes and ears and Mr Shiunin, the Professor is not impressed, hence why we requested this meeting." Sora gritted his teeth and walked backwards in almost fear.

"What... what is wrong?" said Sora, stuttering.

"Well, we know Sora that you did not inform us that the items of Yuzu Higarri and Yuya Sakaki were taken. Your job is to inform us of everything." said Dennis with a now serious tone.

"How... how do you know that?!" said Sora.

"So it is true. Academia are everywhere Sora, you can't hide anything from us. Now EXPLAIN!" replied Dennis as he slammed his hand down on a crate. Sora snapped back with more fear.

"I was going to report back! I was!"

"Then why didn't you?!" Dennis shouted.

"Look. I... I fear being carded okay?! Y'know how it works back home! I didn't want to disappoint him!" said Sora begging.

"Yes. Failures are carded. I know how it works. This morning I watched three students getting automatically carded for losing in XYZ. Academia do not tolerate failures and traitors one bit. However exceptions can be made for those who are proven and lucky for you Sora... you are proven." Sora looked up.

"Proven?" said Sora.

"You have given us alot of good information about Reiji and this dimension. You discovered the power of the Pendulum, the unknown energy which the Professor discovered during his research. You gave it a name. But you have also made many mistakes." said Dennis with a tease.

"Mistakes?!" said Sora as he gulped back.

"You haven't sent us these Pendulum cards. You didn't inform us, and you did let the items disappear. Hmmm. I wonder if you deserve to live or not." said Dennis. Sora looked at the floor with fear.

"Please! I need one more chance. Please!" replied Sora. Dennis narrowed his eyes.

"Fine. One more chance. Your positives outweigh your negatives but one more failure and it will swing the other way. But first..."

"But what?" said Sora with doubt.

"Your reprisal begins with a duel. I know you have been itching to beat a XYZ user." said Dennis.

"How do you know that?!" said Sora with shock. Dennis winked.

"I said Academia are everywhere." he replied. "Now take this." Dennis placed his hand into his pocket and grabbed something. He threw a object at Sora who caught it. Sora looked at it and stood up.

"What is it?" asked Sora.

"It's a duel-band. It splits into two and connects to each duelist. It's undetectable since it's so small and will card the duelist who loses."

"Card? So I could... could fall."

"Yes. But you think you can live in the utopia don't you? You think you're good enough? Don't you?" asked Dennis.

"Yes. Of course I am!" replied Sora.

"Prove it then. I think that XYZ target you wanted is attending a night class at LDS." said Dennis. Dennis turned around and a purple portal appeared behind him. "Remember. We are everywhere." Dennis walked through the portal and disappeared along with the portal. Sora looked at the now empty spot and looked down at the band.

Alleyway

Sora was in an alleyway just outside of LDS Tower. The darkened night now gave him the pefect cover in the shadows. Sora peaked around the corner and could see numerous students walking out.

"The night classes are ending." thought Sora. "That Hokuto must be coming soon. But how did Dennis know?!" Sora waited and waited and eventually saw the male in the purple outfit. Hokuto made a turn and came walking down towards Sora. As Hokuto came walking down, the arms of Sora came out of the shadows and he grabbed the XYZ user.

"What the?!" yelled Hokuto as he was dragged into the alleyway. Hokuto was let go by Sora and then he felt a large slap on his wrist. "What is going on?!" The sound of Sora laughing could be heard.

"Hello XYZ user!" said Sora as he appeared from shadows and into the light.

"You're that Fusion User!" said Hokuto. "What are you doing?! And what is this band thing?!"

"Yes. Yes I am. And that band is a punishment. A punishment for being a low grade XYZ scum. Now duel me or you will die!" yelled Sora as he activated his yellow duel disk.

"You dare challenge a Lancer? A team which will beat Academia once we are ready? Bring it on." said Hokuto. "This will be easy and I don't need no band to get me to duel either!"

"Duel!" yelled both.

Turn 1

Hokuto LP: 4000 Hand: 5

Sora LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"I shall start by summon Constellar Algiedi!" A warrior in sliver amour came to the field. He wore a helmet with two horns.

Constellar Algiedi ATK: 1600 DEF: 1400 Light/Spellcaster/LVL 4

"When Normal Summoned then I can Special Summon a level four Constellar monster from my hand! So appear Constellar Kaus!" A sliver plated horseman like monster appeared. He held a bow in his left hand and a green arrow in his right. He had golden plating on his front.

Constellar Kaus ATK: 1800 DEF: 1700 Light/Beast-Warrior/LVL 4

"Kaus can increase or decrease the level of one monster on the field by one, up to twice this turn! I increase my Kaus and Algeidi by one!" Kaus fired a arrow into the air, the arrow split into two. One half hit Algiedi while the other hit Kaus.

Kaus & Algeidi LVL: 5

"I overlay my two level fives!" shouted Hokuto as each one turned into a different aura and flew into a black and gold whirlpool. "Xyz Summon! Constellar Pleiades!" A tall warrior covered in sliver and gold plating appeared. He had long like wings which had a space texture running through them. The texture was purplish space with golden stars.

Constellar Pleiades ATK: 2500 DEF: 1500 Light/Warrior/XYZ/RNK: 5

Sora smirked proudly at the XYZ Summoned monster. "Excellent!" he shouted.

"I end my turn." Hokuto. "I will make you regret pulling my into this duel!"

Turn 2

Hokuto LP: 4000 Hand: 3

Sora LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"Oh will you? Let's see about that! Draw!" yelled Sora with a wide smirk. "Im going to end this in one turn."

"One turn?! No way could you do that!" said Hokuto. "Even if you're from this Academia!"

"You and your boss have no idea what is coming!" replied Sora. "I Play Polymerization! I fuse Fluffal Leo and Edge Imp Saw in my hand!" Both monsters raised up and fused in mid-air. "Appear! My Frightfur Leo!" A beige looking demonic beast came to the field. It stood on it's back legs. It had a huge sawblade running through the center of it's body with sawblades also running through it's head.

Frightfur Leo ATK: 2400 DEF: 2000 Fiend/Dark/Fusion/LVL 7

Hokuto took a step back with fear. "What on earth is that?!"

"This is the power of the Fusion Dimension! "Now I use his effect! I target one monster you control and destroy it! Then you take damage equal to it's attack!" Hokuto snapped out of his panic.

"I activate my monsters effect! "I use Constellar Pleiades effect! I use an overlay unit to send a monster you control back to your hand! I return your Leo!" Sora smirked and laughed at this move which he had seen before.

"Glad you did that. Now I can show you how stupid your monsters are! I play the Quick-Play Spell Card, Forbidden Chalice! I increase your monsters attack by 400 but it's effects are negated!"

Pleiades ATK: 2900

"Fine. But you just made my monster stronger!" Hokuto preceded to laugh.

"Well now I can use my Leo's effect! I destroy your Pleiades!" Leo jumped in the air as several sawblades came flying from monster. The saw blades one by one slashed Pleaides. After the final one slashed acrossed the monster, it then split into several pieces before exploding. "Now you take damage equal to it's attack!"

"That's why you increased my monsters attack!" Hokuto felt a large burning pain as his lifepoints dropped.

Hokuto LP: 4000 - 1100

"Now then. Time to end this! ATTACK LEO!" Sora yelled as his face painted a large grin. Leo attacked once more by unleashing the sawblades, this time however directly at Hokuto. Each one slashed him one by one and sent him flying across the alleyway.

Hokuto LP: 1100 - 0 Sora Wins

Sora's duel disk faded as did Hokuto's. Sora's band fell off his wrist and he went to look at Hokuto, Sora continued to show off a massive grin of pride. Hokuto tried to get up but he had no energy to, his legs would not work. Hokuto's band then slowly glowed purple as his entire body turned purple, he looked at it. "What... what is going..." he said as he glowed. Seconds after a loud bang could be heard as Sora watched with delight.

Sora walked to the spot where Hokuto was laying and saw him now sealed into a card. Sora smirked and then placed a green lollipop into his mouth from his pocket. Sora picked up the card and then torn it in half. "Hopefully that proves myself to the Professor." said Sora as he laughed while walking away. As he walked out, Sora dropped the two pieces of the carded Hokuto down a drain, hoping to avoid anyone finding it.

Yuya's Bedroom

Sora had made his way into Yuya's bedroom. Several hours had passed since Sora after he had left Yuya. Yuya was staring at Sora with bemusement. "Where did you go Sora?!" he asked.

"I had business to take care of!" he replied.

"Is it done?" Yuya's said.

"Yes. Don't worry. It won't bother me anyone." Sora said, as turned his back to Yuya and let off a huge smirk.

A/N Ok so thank you for the kind comments. They mean alot. Onto some comments with questions.

Rayisoar5 - Serena is like Yuri. Is it a parasite? Or something else? Or maybe that is just Serena in this universe?

Jlia - Will there be Parasite monsters in play? Yes... for some people. Not for others.

Guest45678231 - It's a interesting idea and one which I have thought about thank you.

So yeah... no answers! But I have told the truth above. Also the Link Dimension is evil! Locked my Extra Deck out.
