A couple of days had passed since Yuzu and Yuya returned from Reiji's office. The two were told to expect updates from Reiji regarding their items. But nothing had happened as of yet.

Yuzu had her pink duel disk activated and controlled her Bass the Melodious Songstress. Yuzu was dueling Rin on a water like Action Field. Both girls were on a separate island. Rin had her duel disk on with a Windwitch – Snow Bell out.

"OK Rin. Try this!" Go my Bass!" yelled Yuzu as her monster attacked.

"I respond with my Trap." responded Rin as a Trap card flipped out. As Rin played it, Rin looked down at the floor, depressed. Yuzu noticed this and took her deck off her duel disk, stopping the duel and her attack. The Action Field faded away as Rin looked at Yuzu with confusion. "Why do that?"

"What's wrong?" asked Yuzu. "Are you missing home again?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry. I just can't stop thinking about Yugo and my home dimension." Rin replied.

"Well Reiji is working on reopening the portals. I trust that he will get you back home and sort out this whole mess. Though I'm not sure Yuya will agree." replied Yuzu.

Both girls walked out of the Action Field and put their duel disks and decks away. Yuzu and Rin walked into the seating area for You Show and saw Shuzo run in. "Yuzu, Rin!" he shouted.

"What is it?" responded Yuzu. As Shuzo got closer, they could see he was holding a white envelope.

"This came in the mail!" he responded. He handed Yuzu the letter. Rin and Shuzo stood around Yuzu to read the letter.

"Dear Duelist.

I am writing the letter to you, to invite you to participate in the up and coming new tournament. The Maiami Championship.

This tournament will see different duel schools from around the world arrive into our City and compete. Different schools with different styles of Action Duels. This will be the greatest event in dueling history.

I am inviting your duel school to compete at three different levels.

Youth

Junior Youth

Senior

Teams of three will be required.

This will be a chance to prove your duel school aswell as your Action Dueling style is the best, at all levels.

Please return this form back to LDS Tower by the date enclosed at the bottom.

I look forward to seeing you duel.

Reiji Akaba

LDS CEO."

"A tournament?!" said Rin. "Is this Reiji's way of solving things?"

"It must be." said Yuzu. Yuzu's eyes scanned down towards the date at the bottom of the letter and her eyes extended. "The.. the deadline is TONIGHT?! HOW LONG DID YOU HAVE THIS LETTER?" Yuzu yelled to Shuzo.

"I... I only just found it!" said Shuzo as he tried to look innocent.

"It's dated three days ago! Damn you Dad!"

"Hey! We can still register. I'm sure Reiji is planning something with you three. You guys are involved in this mess. You three will be a team? You, Rin and Yuya." said Shuzo to Yuzu.

"Well. How about it Rin?" asked Yuzu.

"Of course! If it helps us solve the mysteries and lets me return home then I am game!" Rin replied.

"Good. I'm in but we need to be careful with Reiji." said Yuzu. "But I need to check on Yuya... he hasn't been himself since we met Reiji."

"Go and ask him." said Shuzo. "I will register you three for Junior Youth while I shall register Ayu, Tatsuya and Futoshi for the Youth section.

"Will do. Rin... make sure he does." Yuzu ran off to see Yuya.

Yuya's House

Yuzu knocked on the door at Yuya's house and Yoko Sakaki answered. "Hey Mrs Sakaki, is Yuya in?"

"Hey Yuzu and yes he is. Come on in." said Yoko. Yuzu walked on into the hallway and looked at Yoko.

"How... how is Yuya?" asked Yuzu.

"He isn't great. For some reason he isn't like himself. Just go upstairs, he's in his room."

"Thank you." said Yuzu as Yoko and Yuzu parted ways. Yoko was in the dark about the whole dimension and lookalike business. Shuzo and the others at You Show along with LDS were the only ones in this dimension to know.

Yuzu made her way into Yuya's room. Yuya was lying on his bed and looked up to Yuzu. "Hey Yuzu." he spoke.

"Hey Yuya. I have some new I have to talk to you about." Yuzu shut the door on Yuya's bedroom. "Your mom can't hear us, right?"

"No. She is often caught in her own world. She doesn't know anything at the moment." Yuya replied.

"I know everyone at You Show knows but you don't want her to know?"

"No. Not with my dad also missing. It would freak her out."

"Fair enough." said Yuzu. "We need you back at You Show. There has been a tournament announced and we need to talk to you about it."

"Let me guess." Yuya then stood up. "It was arranged by Reiji?"

"Yeah. Yuya we need to trust him. I know you had that argument but-" Yuzu replied.

"The same guy who took our items, the same guy who blames my dad for Leo Akaba's disappearance. I will never trust him!" Yuya shouted.

"I'm not saying trust him like that. Reiji is a snake but he is our only option. We just need to keep him close and make sure he is not doing anything dodgy."

"I know... I just can't look at the snake without wanting him away." replied Yuya.

"We all want that but we need to use him, same as he is using us." Yuzu said. "So you're down for this tournament?"

"Yeah I am!" Both Yuya and Yuzu smiled at each other.

Next Day

Shuzo had managed to register all the students for the tournament. Shuzo, Yoko, the three kids and Yuzu, Rin and Yuzu were all sat in the You Show seating room. Yoko kept looking at Rin and Yuzu. Yuya looked nervous.

"You two... you look similar.." said Yoko. Yuzu and the others looked terrified. "What a weird coincidence!" Everyone all let out a sigh of relief.

Everyone was watching the T.V. Rin, Yuya and Yuzu were the chosen Junior Youth. Reiji Akaba was on the T.V and about to announce the format. Reiji was at his office and sat down. He held his hands together on the table.

"Duelists. Hello. This is Reiji Akaba. We have had many applications for this tournament and I am sure it will be a massive success. Now, for each team to move into the next round they must beat three separate duel schools in a one V one."

"One V one?!" repeated Yuzu.

"You must win in three different duel schools against three different opponents. This will test all styles of Action Dueling. This counts for all levels and this begins as of tomorrow and you will have three days to complete this. Each users duel disks have been connected to our network and we will know when each team has won three times. You must find your own opponents on the map given to you via your duel disks. I wish you all the best of luck." Reiji faded from the screen. Everyone in the room looked surprised.

Reiji Office

The broadcast had finished and Reiji spun around on his chair to look out of his window.

"Tomorrow the first stage will move forward. The move to find my new Lancers." he said aloud.
