"Just go!" yelled Reiji.
"But sir!" shouted a LDS worker.
"But nothing! I'm the CEO, I'll go down with my company!" replied Reiji. The worker ran off down an emergency exit after hearing his boss.
Reiji was inside the LDS Control Room and on the ground floor while the rest of the floors below the Control Room had fallen victim to Ryozanpaku School, the school who had sided with Academia. The floors had a lack of defence since all the LDS students were now outside fighting with Academia and the remaining security had proven too weak. Reiji stood firm as he closed his eyes.
As he paused for a second, a loud explosion blew down the main door and Reiji looked upwards since the door connected to the higher-up platform.
"Mr CEO!" yelled a voice. Reiji looked up and it was Isao Kachidoki. Isao walked towards the end of the platform and leapt down onto the floor, landing with grace. Kachidoki stood up and faced Reiji. Reiji pushed up his red glasses in response.
"So… who are you?" Reiji asked.
"I'm Isao Kachidoki of Ryozanpaku sc-"
"So a nobody." Reiji said firmly. Isao gritted his teeth.
"Well I'm the guy who will card the son of the Professor! You had your chance to join our side but you rejected it! Now you're number one on the hit list!"
"Your side? Ryozanpaku wouldn't even know about Academia if it wasn't for Himika Akaba. She scouted around and tried to find a school that lusted for more and more power, seems only your school was stupid enough to accept."
"Stupid?! How is a world filled with the strongest people "bad"? That's all that matters!" replied Isao.
"While for power hungry fools, yes, it must sound tempting, but are you really willing to live under the reign of Leo Akaba?!" said Reiji. He continued to refer to his parents by their own names as he officially cut ties with them.
"I admit, it's not what I would have chosen, but my school and headmasters have chosen their side! I will always follow!"
"And that's the problem, you're a sheep. I too was blinded by bonds with my father; I refused to accept the truth, but after seeing my mother betray me, I wasn't stupid enough to continue believing the lies. If the facts are in front of you, only a fool would deny them."
"And what are my "facts"?!"
"You said it yourself, you don't agree with the move your school has taken."
"You know nothing!" Isao activated a black and golden Academia duel disk with a purple blade. Reiji placed his white duel disk on his wrist and activated his as well.
"Duel!" both yelled.
Turn 1
Reiji LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Kachidoki LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I shall teach you a lesson for siding with Academia! I begin!" yelled Reiji. "I will make this quick, I've a city to save. I begin by using the Ritual Spell, Dark Contract of the Raven! I tribute monsters in my hand and I need to hit level six or higher! I tribute D/D Necro Slimes and D/D Pandora!"A cauldron formed as both flew inside. A blue explosion arose to the ceiling and a monster slowly emerged. It was a slim knight with dark blue amour. He held a giant yellow staff and his helmet had three blue visors which spiralled around.
D/D/D Prime Churchill ATK: 2000 DEF: 1600 Dark/Fiend/Ritual/LVL 6
"I now use Necro Slimes effect! I banish material from my graveyard including this card, and Fusion Summon!"
"I knew it!" said Kachidoki. Necro and Pandora spun around in the whirlpool.
"Come forth! Appear D/D/D Flame King Genghis!" Another knight in purple amour came forward with a red sword.
D/D/D Flame King Genghis ATK: 2000 DEF: 1500 Fire/Fiend/Fusion/LVL 6
"I end my turn with a set card." Reiji pushed up his glasses and smirked.
"What's so funny?!" said Kachidoki.
"I know exactly how this duel will play out. Academia hired Ryozanpaku School to infiltrate LDS and attack. Himika knew that getting a school inside this dimension would give them an upper hand. I admit, it's a move I didn't expect and that's something I did wrong but I know about your duel school and its moves! Using violence to gain Action Cards? Keeping people in until they become pros? Sounds horrible, you also use a lot of Action Cards. Since your school destroyed one of my generators, all Action Cards have disappeared, not exactly smart of you."
"I don't need Action Cards!" said Kachidoki. "The cards your father's school gave us are more than enough!"
Turn 2
Reiji LP: 4000 Hand: 0
Kachidoki LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"Draw! I Fusion Summon with Polymerization!I fuse Hayate the Earth Star on my field and Tenma the Sky Star in my hand!" Both monsters rose into the whirlpool and spun around. "Fusion Summon! Come! Idaten the Conqueror Star!" A warrior dressed in purple amour appeared with a long brown staff.
Idaten the Conqueror Star ATK: 3000 DEF: 2200 Light/Warrior/Fusion/LVL 10
"Next I use a card I was given! The Equip SpellShooting Star Sword!" Idaten's staff disappeared and was replaced by a large black and red sword.
"One of Academia's cards, interesting." said Reiji.
"This Equip Spell stops my monster from being destroyed in battle by a monster who has a level which is less or equal to itself!" Reiji remained calm as ever. "Now I attack and I use Idaten's effect! When it battles a monster which has less or equal to this cards level, the monster I attack loses its attack during damage calculation!"
"I use my set card! The Continuous Trap, Dark Contract of Shield! If a D/D monster is destroyed, I can reduce damage taken to zero, just as long as I pay 1000 of my lifepoints! This Trap is destroyed at the end of my turn!"
"Damn you! But Prime will still fall!" Idaten launched forward to attack while Prime lost his points.
Prime ATK: 0
Idaten slashed across Prime's chest and wiped out the Ritual Monster. Reiji shielded his eyes. "I use my Trap and reduce the damage to zero by paying 1000 of my lifepoints!"
Reiji LP: 4000 - 3000
"I use Shooting Star Sword's other effect! If I destroy a monster with a level less or equal to the equipped monster, it can attack again!"
"What?!" responded Reiji as Idaten launched an attack towards Genghis.
Genghis ATK: 0
Genghis was destroyed in the same style as Churchill. Once again Reiji paid lifepoints to remain in the duel.
Reiji LP 3000 - 2000
"I use Dark Contract of the Raven's effect. If I take damage from a Dark Contract card, I can banish this card and Special Summon one Ritual Monster in my graveyard. Return Churchill!" Churchill appeared from a blue portal.
D/D/D Prime Churchill ATK: 2000 DEF: 1600 Dark/Fiend/Ritual/LVL 6
"You'll be happy to know that I'm done." said Kachidoki. "I end my turn. I give you credit, you haven't fallen yet, unlike your staff!"
"I don't need your praise." said Reiji as he gritted his teeth.
Turn 3
Reiji LP: 2000 Hand: 0
Kachidoki LP: 4000 Hand: 2
"I draw!" said Reiji. "I use the Spell Monster Reborn and bring back my Genghis!"
D/D/D Flame King Genghis ATK: 2000 DEF: 1500 Fire/Fiend/Fusion/LVL 6
"Since a D/D/D was Special Summoned while I control Churchill, halve of the attack of Genghis is added to Churchill until the end phase!" Genghis glowed as Churchill increased in attack.
Churchill ATK: 3000
"Next by banishing Dark Contract of Shield, if I control two or more D/D/D monsters, I can draw that many cards! I draw two!" I summon D/D Ghost." A golden gem appeared with a shadow of a cat inside.
D/D Ghost ATK: 600 DEF: 300 Dark/Fiend/Tuner/LVL 2
"A tuner? No matter what you throw at me, it won't bypass my combo!"
"Since you work for Academia now, surely Leo must have told you about me and my deck?"
"I…I haven't spoken to him… he's a busy man!" replied Isao.
"I understand that feeling. Tell me, what iss it like being left out by both your school and your new employers?" said a calm toned Reiji.
"You don't know that!" snapped back Isao.
"Of course I do. I know all the schools in Miami and Ryozanpaku School is quite a unique school. Training kids to win by violence, not being able to return home until you become pros, sounds horrible. I presume you're no different?
"You know nothing! Just go!"
"Fine. I tune Ghost and Genghis!"
6+2=8
"Appear my level eight, D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried!" The monster was a knight in blue amour with a long red scarf. He held a long sword.
D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried ATK: 2800 DEF: 2200 Dark/Fiend/Synchro/LVL 8
"And now Prime powers up once more! This time by halve of Siegfried's attack!"
Churchill ATK: 4400
"Now for Siegrited's effect! I can negate a Spell or Trap Card until the next standby phase! I negate your Equip Spell!"
"Damn you!" Idaten lost the equipped sword. "But his effect…"
"Is worthless!" interrupted Reiji. Forbidden Chalice will help me out! This Spell negates your monsters effect however it increases its attack by 400!" Idaten the Conqueror Star ATK: 3400
"Attack Churchill!" Churchill leapt forward and cut away at the monster.
Kachidoki LP: 4000 - 3000
"Direct attack Siegfried!" Siegfried hit Kachidoki in the stomach as Reiji took the upper hand.
Kachidoki LP: 3000 – 200
"I end my turn."
Churchill ATK: 2000
Turn 4
Reiji LP: 2000 Hand: 0
Kachidoki LP: 200 Hand: 2
"I will end you! I draw!" said Kachidoki. "Time to show you why Academia will rule!"
"Must you always do what you've been told?" smeared Reiji.
"Shut it! I play Fusion Down! I Special Summon a Fusion Monster from my graveyard, and then upon being summoned, it loses all its attack!"
"What are you playing at?" thought Reiji as Idaten returned.
Idaten the Conqueror Star ATK: 3000 DEF: 2200 Light/Warrior/Fusion/LVL 10
"Now he loses his attack!"
Idaten ATK: 0
"Next since a Fusion Monster lost attack, I can bring outKaiki the Unity Star from my hand!" A purple warrior with a face on his chest appeared.
Kaiki the Unity Star ATK: 1000 DEF: 2100 Light/Warrior/ LVL 5
"Next I refresh my lifepoints with Dian Keto the Cure Master! I gain 1000 lifepoints!"
Kachidoki LP: 200 – 1200
"Now my planning is complete! I use Kaiki's effect! I pay 500 lifepoints to Fusion Summon monsters on my field! I fuse Kaiki and Idaten!"
Kachidoki LP: 1200 – 700
"One who erases the heavens, eternal conqueror. With the crossing power, conquer all under the sky! Fusion Summon! Come, Level twelve! Shura the Supreme Conqueror Star!" A double headed warrior appeared. He had four arms and his body was a mixture of dark red, blue and green. He held a long staff.
Shura the Supreme Conqueror Star ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Dark/Warrior/Fusion/LVL 12
Reiji remained calm as he waited to see what the newly summoned monster could do.
"This is the new Fusion Card I gained from Academia. This is their power!"
"Yes I can see that. But is this your power?"
"What do you mean?!"
"Your dueling style is violent; I don't think you approve of that, nor do I think you enjoy working for Academia or your own school."
"How can you say that?!" said Kachidoki.
"Because I to know what it's like to feel used. Trust me, I've learnt that very recently." replied Reiji.
"Shura makes all monsters attack points zero!"
Siegfried ATK: 0
Prime ATK: 0
"I attack Prime!" Shura leapt forward.
"But both have zero attack?!"
"When our monsters attack, Shura and the opponent's monster increase their attacks by their level X 200!"
Shura ATK: 2400
Prime ATK: 1200
Reiji gritted his teeth as he knew that his Ritual Monster would fall. Shura destroyed Prime by hitting it with a mighty whack from his staff. Reiji shielded his eyes.
Reiji LP: 2000 – 800
"Shura's effect works during both our turns, you're out of choices!"
"I told you. While I've lifepoints, I'm not out!"
Turn 5
Reiji LP: 800 Hand: 0
Kachidoki LP: 700 Hand: 0
"It's time to end this. I draw!" yelled Reiji. "Do you not know how much damage you've caused?"
"My school…. has to!"
"You've a choice! I can see you don't approve of your school!"
"I'm already a disgrace to them! I'll win back their trust by carding you!"
"I see that you won't be changing your mind. I've no other choice; I play the Continuous Spell, Dark Contract of Change! If I control a D/D/D Monster, I can bring back another D/D/D Monster from my graveyard with its effects negated, and its attack and defence are made zero. It's also destroyed during the end phase. Return Prime!"
D/D/D Prime Churchill ATK: 2000 DEF: 1600 Dark/Fiend/Ritual/LVL 6
"Then I declare a number from one to eight and all D/D/D monsters on my field change their level to that number! I declare eight!"
Churchill & Siegfried LVL: 8
"No… you can't be…"
"XYZ Summon? I will! I overlay Churchill and Siegfried!" Both monsters shot into a golden and black whirlpool which had formed in the centre of the room. "When two suns rise, the horizon of a new world shall open up! XYZ Summon! Appear and come forth, Rank eight! D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga!" A large humanoid who sat on a grey throne appeared. He wore red armour.
Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga ATK: 3500 DEF: 3000 Dark/Fiend/XYZ/RNK 8
"So what?! It becomes zero attack!"
"Not this monster. When Special Summoned, all other card effects on the field are negated!"
"Negated?!"
"Yes and now end this Kali Yuga!" Kali put his fist out and a dark, purple beam shot out and hit Shura. Shura was destroyed and Kachidoki could only watch. The impact eventually hit Kachidoki and he was sent into the air.
Kachidoki LP: 700 – 0 Reiji Wins
Kachidoki fell to the ground as his duel disk faded away. "Not… again… I lost!" he thought as he looked towards the roof of the tower.
"It's never too late to start again." said Reiji as walked towards Kachidoki.
"It's not?" replied Isao.
"No. Help me take down your school." Reiji extended his arm to Kachidoki. As Kachidoki was about to grab it, he glowed in purple and dissolved away, catching Reiji with total surprise.
"What on earth?!" said Reiji as he saw a carded Kachidoki fall from the sky. Reiji looked up and saw the headmaster of the school, the elderly looking Ryozan Godagawa.
"He failed." said Ryozan.
"You dare do that to him?!"
"He failed and that's that. There's no other option but victory!"
"That's what Academia believe in, no wonder you sided with them so easily." replied Reiji.
"Haha. As if I will side with Academia. No, they're a means to an end. I shall use them and then take total control!"
"I don't think Leo will be happy to hear that."
"Yeah and what can he do, he's in another dimen-" as Ryozan spoke, he slowly glowed in purple along with every other Ryozanpaku student in the tower. "NO! WHAT IS THIS?!" Ryozan quickly dissolved along with the students and they all landed on the floor in card form. Reiji was shocked, he then ran off down the tower.
Fusion - Academia – Training Field
Leo was observing Ra Yellows training on a grassy field which was located around the island. Leo was overseeing it from one of the castles towers. He had his hands on the side as he watched the Yellows running through an obstacle course.
"Professor." said a voice. Leo turned and it was Dennis.
"What is it Dennis?" asked Leo.
"Bad news I'm afraid. While Standard is slowly falling,Ryozan and his school declared their plans to betray us. Since we were unable to place Parasites inside of them due to them being in another dimension, monitoring them like the students was hard; however, as the man chosen to monitor all thoughts and all things within Academia, the Doctor placed a voice chip onto the Ryozanpaku duel disks and heard him declare his plan. The Doctor activated the auto-carding function."
"Good. While I welcome the strongest duelists to join me in the utopia, anyone disloyal to me will perish. What's the report on Commander Edo and the overall job in Standard?"
"As I said, it's going well. Many civilians are falling, however as you know, both Serena and Yuri failed and are now receiving their punishment."
"Yes, Yuri returned while having to send the other two to another dimension. Where they're though is another question. I need all the bracelets and all the boys! Dennis, the Pendulum Cards are now fully ready to go, correct?"
"Yes sir, only to those who you wish to receive them will get them."
"Good, go down to the lab and tell them to produce you a Performage Pendulum deck along with XYZ."
"B.. but sir?!"
"I want you to go to Standard and become my new mole. Sora's cover is exposed and will now only be used as a soldier. XYZ is a perfect disguise and Pendulum is an interesting weapon."
"As you wish sir." said Dennis as he walked off.
"I knew gaining energy and data on the other summons would be useful. I will become a god in the utopia with only the strongest serving me. That'll show those who mocked me in Standard. And soon Yusho, I will give you a fate worse than death for bringing me into this hell!" Leo crunched his right fist as he looked at it. "All thanks to the Pendulum. The Pendulum energy was formed in the ancient battle between the dragons and the angels. I discovered it after Yusho backstabbed me and it lead me to learning about the other dimensions. It's a pure form and nothing like the other pathetic summons, I will use it to gain my power!"
LDS
As Reiji ran along the corridor, fumes and smoke clouded his vision. He could see no one but carded people all around on the floor. Reiji slowly became dizzy as he continued down the corridor, each second felt like a life time. Reiji then slowly fell to the floor as the smoke got more intense. As he fainted, a blue ninja appeared before him.
Grass Field
Yuzu, Gongenzaka, Mieru and Rin had reunited and were now running towards the City.
"We've got to find Yugo and Yuya!" said Rin. "Why are we running into the centre of trouble?!"
"Because Yuya and Yugo can save themselves, my dad and the others, I'm not so sure about." said Yuzu.
