Serena appeared from blue smoke and landed face down onto the cold Academia floor. She slowly looked up at the floor which was cold, rocky tiles with black bars in front. The walls above were old and rocky. It matched the look of the castle. Serena got up and clung onto the bars.

"No!" she yelled. "I can't be carded!"

"You're not." said a male voice. Dennis appeared from the shadows.

"Dennis." said Serena firmly. "Let me out!"

"What, no please?" said Dennis. "No. If you were a normal duelist you would have been carded, but since you're the only one who can sense the other girls, you're safe. However you did lose, and that cannot be forgotten."

"I won't lose next time!"

"We will see." said Dennis. "You shall be punished in another way."

"WHAT?!"

"The Professor is giving you a gift once your punishment is over."

"A gift?"

"Yes. You will receive the first new Academia Pendulum cards."

"Why would we use another summon?" said Serena. "We don't need other lower summons!"

"Pendulum's are different, they advance decks."

"But until then, you will remain in this cell until further notice and then you will be brought to the coliseum."

"The coliseum?!" said Serena. "Why?!"

"Clearly you're training wasn't enough." said Dennis as he walked away. Serena clung onto the bars and started to yell. Dennis smirked as he walked away.

"DENNIS YOU SNAKE!" Dennis departed and Serena pushed her back to the wall and slid down. She sat on the cold floor. "Damn Professor but… he knows what's best for me."

LDS Stadium

"What's happening!" yelled Shuzo who was in the LDS stadium along with the three kids and Yoko who had just left the hospital to watch them. Twenty-four hours of the Battle Royal had passed and everyone was unaware of the trouble going on as the live feeds have been cut after LDS was attacked."

"Where are the pictures?!" said Ayu. Nico was in the middle of the stadium and looking around.

"Fo..folks, we are trying. Please be patient." said Nico. Not even he knew what was happening.

Ruins

Yuzu, Yuya, Gongenzaka and Mieru were surrounded by the six Academia students. Each student had taken their first turn and the four were facing five Ancient Gear Soldiers and an Ultimate Golem.

"How can we beat all of them?!" said Yuzu.

"We need to try." said Yuya. Mieru and Gongenzaka were looking around for a route to escape but couldn't find any.

"My turn." said Yuzu, but before she could act, a small black ball was thrown in front of everyone and the whole field turned to smoke. Before the four a shadowy figure appeared . He turned around and it was the blue ninja, Tsukikage. He had followed the three students who had carded his brother. Tsukikage turned to face the four.

"Who are you?!" said Yuya.

"Please go. I shall deal with these students." replied Tsukikage.

"We can't do that?!" said Yuzu.

"Please understand, I must." he replied. The four looked at each other and nodded, they were able to escape while the smoke was lurking about. As it cleared, the six students could only see the ninja.

"Where did they go?!" shouted one student.

"I shall not tell you. Now three of you carded my brother; I shall take you all on to avenge him!"

"That was us!" said one student as he pointed to him and two others.

"Fine. We will duel you! Everyone else, after the rest!"ordered one of the other students. The other three students then sprung into action and chased after Yuzu and the others.

Intrusion Penalty – 2000 LP

Tsukikage was electrocuted as he took the 2000 lifepoint penalty.

Turn 1

Student LP: 4000 X 3 Hand: 3 X 3

Tsukikage LP: 2000 Hand: 5

"I shall avenge my brother. Draw!" said Tsukikage.

"WithUltimate Ancient Gear Golem on my field, you cannot beat us!" said one student.

"Yes and since us two also control an Ancient Gear Solider in attack mode, we're also protected!" said student two.

"You were a fool to join!" said student three.

"We shall see." said Tsukikage. "I set scale two Pendulumstatue Blue Whale and scale eleven Pendulumstatue Purple Sword!"

"Pendulums?!" said student one.

"Yes, remember! Commander Edo informed us of this method" said two. A large whale arose in one scale along with a bulky purple spear in the other.

Blue Whale 2 – Purple Sword 11

"Next I Pendulum Summon from my hand, level nine Twilight Ninja Kotaro!" A blue beam shot out of the Pendulum Scale and a thin ninja wearing a black outfit with two swords being stored on his back appeared. He had a red sash which went around his torso. Twilight Ninja Kotaro ATK: 3000 DEF: 1900 Earth/Warrior/LVL 9

"Kotaro can attack all monsters on the field and when it attacks, you take damage equal to its attack of the monster which it destroyed!"

"So what? We will just destroy you on our turn!" said one.

"Not with this Spell, Ninjitsu Art of High Power! I target a Ninja monster and until the end phase, its attack is doubled!"

Twilight Ninja Kotaro ATK: 6000

"NO!" said the students at once.

"End this!" yelled Tsukikage. His monster jumped onto each Ancient Gear monster with his quick ninja speed and jumped back before his owner. Seconds passed before each Ancient Gear monster exploded and sent the three students flying backwards. Each one landed on the floor as Tsukikage towered above them.

Students LP: 4000 – Tsukikage Wins

"That was for my brother." said Tsukikage as walked over to them. The three were all were sent back to Academia in the blue teleportation aura. Tsukikage looked into the sky. "I was unable to find help before. These warriors must be targeting LDS if the duel system went offline." Tsukikage then disappeared.

LDS Tower

"Get the system back online!" shouted Reiji as his workers continued to work away at getting some form of communication back online at LDS Tower. The rest of LDS was currently falling to the Ryozanpaku School down below the tower. Since the communications had been taken down, the security was taken out by surprise and had all been sealed into cards.

"We have to send a signal to the LDS students and the crowds!" said Reiji. He could hear the innocent staff below who couldn't duel, getting carded.

"Mr Akaba! We have a fuzzy line but it works." said a staff member.

"Good! Connect me Shun! I have an emergency line with him. No one knew about it so it's unaffected."

Ruins

"Why did the duel disks stop?!" said Shingo. Shingo was following Shun as he walked away.

"Go away. I need answers from Akaba!" replied Shun.

"Don't bother. LDS will be high on security. Not just anyone can go in there."

"Well that's you out of the question." said Shun firmly. Shingo's face lit up like a red balloon.

"My father is the mayor!" he replied. While Shingo was ranting away, Shun's duel disk rang and he looked at it. He clicked his touch screen.

"Who is this?" said Shun.

"It's me." said Reiji.

"What do you want?"

"Academia is here." replied Reiji sternly.

"WHAT?!" yelled Shun. "HOW?!"

"That's irrelevant. I need you to warn the innocent people."

"You warn them!" replied Shun.

"LDS is under attack, if you fail, you will never see your sister again." Shun gritted his teeth.

"Fine!" The connection ended and Shun looked at Shingo.

"What is it?" he said.

"I need you to show me the way back to the stadium." said Shun. "I will tell you on the way."

"Su-sure. But it's quite a distance."

"No worries." Shun held up an XYZ Raidraptor monster from his deck.

Maiami

Inside the LDS Stadium, Shuzo along with the kids and Yoko were still annoyed with the screens being out of order. Nico was in the centre and still looked embarrassed. The crowd still voiced their displeasure with boos.

"People… people." said Nico with embarrassment as he tried to settle the angry audience. "We are trying our best!"

"Try harder!" yelled the kids at once. As they finished their sentence, a loud noise could be heard in the sky. It sounded like a soaring eagle but even louder than the animal itself. Everyone in the stadium looked up and they saw a large mechanical bird with two males on it. Shun was standing on top with Shingo clinging onto the rear. He had pure panic across his face.

"What on earth is this?! I know Action Duel's ride monsters but this is insane!" he said. Shun ignored him and the Raidraptor landed in the stadium. Shingo laid his face into the Raidraptor as it landed with relief. Shun jumped off and his monster disappeared, Shingo then landed onto the floor of the stadium. Shingo showing off his normal calamity.

"People of this dimension!" yelled Shun. The crowd all looked around him with bemusement. "You're being invaded!"

"In… invaded?" questioned the crowd. "What is he on about?"

"Who are you?" said Nico. Shun gave a piercing stare to him and he backed off.

"Your world is being invaded by members of the Fusion Dimension. You need to escape!" he yelled.

"What on earth is he on about?" said Yoko. Shuzo and the kids didn't know what to say. They had known about the dimensions for a while now but Yoko was still in the dark due to Yuya's request.

"Academia are here…." said Shuzo. "The people who…"

"What are you on about?" said Yoko.

Shun looked around as boos rung. Shingo got up and walked next to Shun. "Well this isn't possible." said Shingo. "They don't believe you."

"Then I will show them." he said. "Akaba hooked my duel disk to this stadiums feed." Shun hit his duel disk and the several screens across the stadium reappeared and showed the different zones. The crowd roared.

As they slowly watched, they could see people in blue uniforms and they were taking on the Senior section.

"They're not entrants?!" said one crowd member. As the feed went on, they saw the Senior entrants sent flying within the Fire and Ice fields as they lost. The audience watched as the students walked over, a giant smirk across their faces. The time seemed to slow down for the people watching as they saw the duelists getting turned into a card. No one knew what to do as they saw the carding happen.

Next a live feed from LDS was shown as the same thing happened again. Innocent LDS staff were being carded. As more and more was shown, the crowd all leapt up in panic. Shuzo and the three kids gritted their teeth as the people around them begun to scream and were running around in panic.

"What on earth is this?!" yelled Yoko. "Did you know about this?!"

"Yuya didn't want us to tell you…." said Shuzo.

"You see!" yelled Shun. "This world is being invaded! Now take arms with your duel disks and fight! This comes from Akaba himself!" One male stood up amid the chaos.

"YOU'RE LYING! THIS IS A SCAM!" Just then a loud explosion occurred and smoke filled the stadium. An explosion had just happened inside one the stands and the people who were sat there were sent flying into the air.

At least fifty Obelisk Blue walked in the stadium with their Ancient Gear Soldiers out. The audience who had been blown into the air, one by one, were turned into cards. Shun and Shingo turned around with gritted teeth.

"NO WAY!" said Futoshi.

"They're here! And there after Yuya and Yuzu!" said Tatsuya.

"Yuya?!" said Yoko.

In one of the stands, the male who declared this a scam was seen trying to run out of the stadium along with thousands others. A lot of remaining audience members remained as they were too scared to run.

Inside the army of students was a brown haired female, she aimed her duel disk at the male and she hit a button. He glowed in purple aura and was carded. The people trying to leave looked back and all started to push their way out of the stadium. The girl smirked.

"So many non duelists! CARD THEM ALL!" she shouted. "STANDARD DIMENSION! BRING OUT YOUR DUEL DISKS AND DIE WITH DIGNITY!"

"DIE?!" yelled the crowd who were remaining. Shuzo and the others all sat in their seats and didn't know what to do. The students all smirked and let the people leave.

"Ignore them." said one student. "Leave the weak to the outside students."

"Commander Edo. We are in." said another as they spoke into their duel disk.

Yoko was caught up in everything; she didn't know what to think. A second later, they all heard loud screams. Everyone jumped up and looked to that direction.

"This… this is hell..." said Shuzo. "Kids… we…"

"Don't even think about moving." said a male voice. A male stood before them inside the arena. He was a grey haired male with a green and purple cloak with yellow should pads. It had a mighty look with importance.

"Who are you?!" said Shuzo.

"I'm commander Edo. The leader of the Standard Invasion! Now duel me!"

"Please… stop this!" said Shuzo.

"I do apologize for this." said Edo politely. "But this is for a better world and if that means destroying the others, then so be it."

"You're sorry?!" said Yoko. "Where's Yuya?!"

"Yuya? I don't know. My men are after him. Who are you?"

"I'm his mother!"

"Mother? What are the chances?"

"What do you want with him?!"

"I am not at liberty to discuss personal business however; once again, I'm sorry. But the Professor is never wrong, and what he wants, he gets. Now prepare to duel." said Edo.

"Listen!" said Shuzo. "At least let the kids and Yoko go. I will take you on!"

"PRINCIPAL!?" "SHUZO?" said the rest at once. Shuzo had a determined look on his face.

"So you're non duelists then?" said Edo.

"No. We will fight!" said Ayu.

"No! Let the kids and Yoko go! Surely you have that amount of compassion?!" said Shuzo. Edo looked at them and shut his eyes.

"Very well, carding kids and a woman who is about to lose her son is beyond even my moral code. But you stay!" said Edo. Edo lifted up his blue and white Academia duel disk. "Let the kids and the blonde haired female leave." he said into it. He was contacting his army.

"Go." said Shuzo. "Get help." he said.

"We will be back Shuzo." said Yoko as she lead the kids out. Shuzo looked at Edo firmly.

As Yoko and the kids ran out, a card landed before them and smoke appeared. Edo and Shuzo looked in that direction.

"What is this?!" said Shuzo. "We had a deal?"

"I'm only reasonable for my army. Not the Professors personal aides." As the smoke cleared, Sora emerged with a giant smirk on his face.

"SORA?!" said everyone.

"Hello, former classmates!" said Sora with a giant smirk.

In the far background of the stadium, Nico was walking backwards as he was surrounded by several Academia students. They all lifted up their duel disks but just before them, a large breeze blew and a male charged in front of them. It was Shun.

"Academia! I have been waiting!" said Shun.

"A red scarf?" said one. "A resistance member?!"

"Long way from home aren't we?" said a sadistic male.

"I vowed to defeat every single one of you and I will!"

"With me as well!" said a distance voice. Shingo pointed towards himself with ego. "I shall beat you all first!"
