A/N There was an error on this site where updates were not sent out. I posted one chapter (33) and you might not have seen it. It was quite an important one.
Academia
Leo was sat on his throne with a green machine behind him. Several cards fell from the sky and into the machine. Leo had several holographic screens around him. Each one showed a vivid live feed of the XYZ dimension which had fallen to Academia.
Smoke and flames could be seen in each screen. Leo smiled at each one and the screens faded away. He knew he was getting exactly what he wanted. Next screens appeared of Academia students in blue uniforms. They were carding helpless XYZ duelists with a huge smirk on their faces.
The Academia students each clicked buttons on their duel disks with a scary grin; the XYZ duelist who had lost would change into purple light and get sealed into a card. As Leo watched, a loud double knock could be heard on the throne room door.
Leo stood up and the holographic screens faded. "Enter." said Leo. The large two doors opened and Dennis, Leo's right hand man entered. "Dennis." said Leo with a firm tone. Dennis walked forward and knelt in front of Leo.
"Professor."
"What is it Dennis?" said Leo with slight annoyance as he sat down.
"I am sorry to disturb, but I have your latest report on XYZ, direct from the front lines." said Dennis.
"Go on." said Leo as he put his fist under his chin.
"While a small group of remnants exist, the non XYZ duelists are mostly sealed."
"And the Resistance?"
"We have eliminated at least ninety percent of their bases. The Obelisk Blue along with the Obelisk Force is slowly reducing the numbers." Leo slammed his fist onto his throne. Dennis jumped at this.
"Not good enough! I want them gone! Tell the commander to step up his act!" replied Leo.
"Y... yes sir! Of course."
"Tell him to take the Ra Yellows as well. They are next in line to be promoted to the front lines. Take them for experience. "
"But sir..." Dennis said with a nervous tone. "The Commander said no one can go expect Obelisk Blue... he would just send them back.
"Tell him it is a direct order. No one goes above my head. Commander Ryo gets results but no one is above me."
"Ye... Yes of course sir." said Dennis as he got up but remained bowing as he walked backwards.
"What of Yuri and Serena?" asked Leo. Dennis paused with fright.
"Yuri is back in Ritual. He has been unable to find Yuzar, and Serena was in the XYZ dimension until yesterday. She has since returned and awaiting her next move. Unlike Yuri, she needs guidance from you sir."
"Well that is no surprise, I am the closest thing to a father to her. Tell her to also head to Ritual. I need the bracelet there. This Ray girl is her counterpart. Yuri gained this intel."
"Sir." said Dennis as he bowed. "Glory on the Academia."
"Glory on the Academia." said Leo in response. Dennis left the room. Leo sat down and a holographic screen appeared. It was an old man with long white hair. He wore a long black outfit.
"Doctor." said Leo. The Doctor put his fists into the Fusion Summoning pose.
"Glory on the Academia." said the Doctor. Leo rolled his eyes. "I am humbled."
"What is the status on Sora Shiunin? You have had him for a week now. Tribute will be missing him."said Leo.
"He has been completely and utterly brainwashed to serve you and no one else. The parasite which resides in every Academia student was designed by me and with the option of pure obedience if need be. Hehehehhehehe" said the Doctor as he laughed away. Leo shut his eyes and remained firmed.
"I do not wish to brainwash my followers. I want to be worshipped with their free will. But sometimes things are different."
"He is fully suppressed; as you know we are able to monitor every student's thoughts and feelings. I know exactly when someone will betray us. The parasite can reduce them to a mindless obedient student within a click of a button. We have programmed him to obey us at all costs. We knew Sora might have failed us, so I was prepared for this."
"Shame he had to. He was mostly loyal. Himika says to me that Reiji is aware of Sora's Academia links but Yuya and Yuzu do not believe him, we can use that. Taking out Reiji is not a choice, he is on high alert."
"How about we parasite him sir?" Leo looked the Doctor and slammed his fist down again. The Doctor jumped back in fear.
"Do you think about nothing else?! He is still my son! I want him to join us! I will not have him harmed while there is still that choice on the table! I will only take him out if needs be and he threatens my plan. Anyway Reiji is far too smart to be controlled. I will have Sora go in to Standard and have him hidden from Reiji."
"Sir. I am sorry. On the other hand, the Fusion user Himika sent here is doing very well in the XYZ dimension. Ccapturing Fusion users and brainwashing them to our side was a most excellent idea."
"Of course it was." said Leo. "Those who do not get carded will be offered the chance to join us in the utopia, the Fusion Master Race. Thanks to my dear wife, Masumi was sent here and now obeys us. The doctor disappeared and another holographic screen appeared. It was Himika. She was smiling.
"Leo. How are you dear?"
"Not bad. Yourself?"
"Reiji is getting more and more suspicious of everyone here in LDS."
"Continue operating in the shadows; continue to manipulate the situation such as when you sent Sora that map to get the items back from Reiji."
"Leo... what if we can't get Reiji on side?"
"Then we take him out, I care for him but not enough for him to ruin everything." he said.
"I know. I haven't found a good time to ask him. He has been worried about an evil dimension since he found that file."
"Yes that file. The file you accidentally let him see." said Leo with a sharp eye. Himika bowed.
"Leo. I am so, so, so sorry. That was my mistake."
"I know. It was. Don't think you are not expendable. Love only goes a distance. Without me you are nothing. Remember."
"Yes Leo. I know. I am at full fault." she said.
"Good. I do love you. About Reiji, you need to find a way, if not take him out."
"Leo... he is building up a team now. Would it not be better to invade now? We could just grab Yuya and the bracelet? Surely Reiji can't take down a whole army? You told me that Reiji is expendable."
"I want Reiji to join us, but the moment we invade Tribute, that would be the moment Reiji found out about me leading Academia. We need to sway him the right way, make him see our goals first then invade. We are not fully done in XYZ anyway, not until Ryo is sure they can do no more. You are gaining support in Tribute for our goals, yes?"
"Yes dear. A few Fusion schools have sided with us, globally. Ready to launch upon invasion."
"That is good, it will give us an advantage of surprise. Ritual is next. It is the next easiest target, once we will leave XYZ then we move there. Hopefully in that time, more students will make Obelisk Blue to boost our numbers. Keep getting more schools on stand-by. Keep it quiet otherwise Reiji will know. Also Himika, Tribute is now being called Standard due it having all summons. Time is running out, talk to Reiji soon! If not, I will have to invade sooner then I planned. "
"Yes dear." said Himkia as the screen faded. Leo stood up and a screen appeared of Yuto in his cell.
"The dragons and angels cannot be controlled, I have Serena and Yuri in my grasp anyway, gaining their full trust as kids was massive. Now I need to figure out how Standard gained all the summons, I need a Pendulum card." said Leo, he then walked to watch over the machine once more.
Standard
Yuzu, Rin, Yugo and Yuya were in a hospital. Yoko was in a hospital bed with a breathing machine on her face. Yuzu had called an ambulance and the four had gone with Yoko. Yuya was sitting on a chair beside her bed and was holding Yoko's hand. The other three were stood up and in front of the bed.
"Mom..." said Yuya as he tried to hold back the tears in his eyes. Yuya then fell face first into the bed and started to cry. Yuzu walked over to him and placed her hand onto is back.
"Yuya... the doctors said she was just knocked out, she will be ok." said Yuzu. Yuya remained silent. Yugo looked at Rin with his hands on his waist.
"Well I am happy to see you again Rin... but not in these circumstances." Yugo said.
"We shouldn't be here." said Rin. "This is a private matter." Rin looked at Yuzu who nodded back, the two left the ward and into the corridor.
Corridor
In the plain white corridor with some seats located to the sides, Yugo was leaning against a wall while Rin paced up and down. Yugo's eyes moved left and right as he followed her. It was like watching a tennis match.
"Rin." said Yugo as he pushed himself forward from the wall and then folded his arms.
"Let me guess." said Rin as she turned and stopped pacing. "You want me to go home?"
"No. I know I am a bit rash with my words but I see you care about them."
"Then what is it?" replied Rin.
"What the hell is even happening?!" said Yugo with a brash tone.
"It... it is a long a story." Rin said slowly. "You might want to sit down."
Twenty Minutes Later
Yugo had both of his gloves off and was struggling to count, even with both hands; he was sat on the floor while doing this.
"So... let me get this straight... there are five Rin's and five Yugo's... and five different City's."
"Well there not all called Rin, Yugo and City but yes, that is the basis." said Rin as she crossed her arms.
"And your bracelets have magical powers and you as well as that Yuzu have had visions? You gave her the power to Synchro Summon as well."
"Yes but what about you Yugo?"
"What about me?"
"You know... you had blue eyes and everything? You called us angels, you and Yuya both had your dragons out and it was like you was a different person?"
"I... I don't know what you are talking about. I can't exactly remember what happened after I met Yuya though." said Yugo with confusion.
"Are you sure? You went all mad and everything?!"
"Nope!" said Yugo with a smile. "Maybe I just got very involved with the duel! Why did we faint though..." he questioned to himself.
"Strange." thought Rin. "Yuya also cannot remember." Rin looked at the hospital ward door. "How did Yuya's mom end up collapsing... it must have been something which happened between the two."
"So how do we sort this out?" said Yugo as he stood up. "What is this Academia?"
"Academia is the evil school of the Fusion Dimension and it seems they are after our bracelets. You said you travelled across dimensions, surely you saw it?" Rin asked.
"Nope. I came from City to some ruins... they called it XYZ." said Yugo as he scratched his chin, thinking.
"Yes. Academia attacked and they tried taking the XYZ's girls bracelet..."
"And... what?" said Yugo.
"They took the XYZ boy who looks like you as well. I fear they are after all of you." said Rin with a panic. "Yuzu met with this XYZ user and he confirmed all this. I'm worried."
"Well if they are, then I will send them flying!" said Yugo as he did a fist pump to show off his confidence and power.
"I hope so, we still don't know about most things." replied Rin. "What happened in the month while I was away?"
"Um..."
"You didn't get into trouble for the billionth time did you Yugo...?" Rin seemed to tower above Yugo, he seemed to shrink in size with some guilt.
"Well, I might have had a few run ins with Security..."
"You went into the Top's terrority?!"
"Hey hey! The orphanage needed food! I can handle a few Security goons!" replied Yugo. "I got away shook them off but Rin, where did you go?!"
"Well I was using our D-Wheel to get back home after running an errand and I ended up driving into a green portal. Yuzu's bracelet opened up the portal, she didn't do it at will though. It's like our bracelets tried to find each other."
"I came here because of Clear Wing. I was determined to find you, and I soon found myself crossing dimensions. I guess I am lucking I found you in this dimension, that Fusion Dimension sounds evil."
Ward
Yuya and Yuzu were now sat next to Yoko as she was still knocked out. Yuzu had her pink duel disk out and was holding it out for Yuya and her to watch.
"Are you sure you want to watch?" said Yuzu. "I have told my dad about what has happened, he has to stay at the stadium to watch the kids. He said Gongenzaka wouldn't mind you missing the match."
"No." said Yuya. "I made him a promise."
Stadium
Nico Smiley was in the centre of the main stadium and it was packed out. Gongenzaka waited in the wings as he prepared to face off against Isao Kachidoki.
"Our final match of the day is here!" shouted Nico. "It's Ryozanpaku School versus Gongenzaka Dojo! Gongenzaka verus Kachidoki!"
A loud cheer went up as Gongenzaka and Kachidoki walked into the centre of the field. The two stared at each other with burning looks. Kachidoki landing Gongenzaka in hospital was still fresh on his mind.
A/N Yes, Ryo will appear as a Commander... now I didn't like the idea of legacy people in ARC-V as I felt it was one of the reasons it fell but I don't wish to make O.C's but these will not overshadow the main cast as I have solid plans with how to handle them.
