A/N Big thanks again Romadrox8975 for making some cards in this chapter.
"Opera's attack returns to normal and I end my turn."
Opera ATK: 2300
Turn 5
Reiji LP: 2600 Hand: 3
Yuzu LP: 2600 Hand: 0
"Very well." said Reiji as he drew.
"Now take 1000 points of damage!" shouted Yuzu as she pointed to his Dark Contract. Reiji gritted his teeth as he was electrocuted.
Reiji LP: 2600 – 1600
"Reiji could have negated it with Siegfried?" said Mieru.
"Yes but this is Reiji, he knows what he is doing." replied Gongenzaka. "Even before we got to know him, Reiji's record in dueling was incredible. His reputation spoke wonders and then he gained all the summoning afterwards, he might be a snake but he's a tough opponent, even for Academia."
"When I take battle or effect damage, I can Special Summon D/D Orthros." A twin headed silver-haired beast appeared. He was wrapped in blue amour and it stood on its back legs.
D/D Orthros ATK: 600 DEF: 1800 Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/Tuner/LVL 4 – Scale 3
"Since we're in the standby phase, The Festival of Fairies effect returns." said Yuzu as her monsters powered up.
Prima ATK: 3900
Opera ATK: 2800
"I now Normal Summon D/D Savant Copernicus!" A globe like structure appeared around a fireball.
D/D Savant Copernicus ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/LVL 4 - Scale 1
"Copernicus allows me to send a D/D or Dark Contract from my deck to my graveyard. I send Dark Contract of Shield." Reiji placed the Continuous Trap into his graveyard slot. "Now I overlay my two level fours!"
"Saw that coming." said Yuzu as the monsters entered into the XYZ whirlpool.
"I XYZ Summon! D/D/D Wave King Caesar!" A giant warrior in purple amour appeared on the field. He had a huge sword which he swung around.
D/D/D Wave King Caesar ATK: 2400 DEF: 1200 Water/Fiend/XYZ/RNK 4 - OU: 2
"I play Monster Reborn and bring back Siegfried!"
D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried ATK: 2800 DEF: 2200 Dark/Fiend/Synchro/LVL 8
"Next I banish Dark Contract of Shield from my graveyard. Since I control two or more D/D/D monsters, I can draw that many times."
"No way!" said Yuzu as the rest were also shocked. Reiji drew the two cards.
"Excellent." he thought as he looked at them. "I set my Pendulum Scale!"
"Damnit." thought Yuzu. "I let him get the upper hand."
"I set scale one D/D/D Revenge King Odysseus and scale eight D/D Savant Darwin!" Darwin was a sliver skull with a long beard and tentacles while Darwin was a bulky human with black, almost fur coming out of his body.
Odysseus 1 – Darwin 8
"I will now use Darwin's Pendulum effect. I can skip my battle phase and in return, I can Special Summon one D/D/D from my banished zone which has a level which falls in-between the set Pendulum Scales!" Yuzu gritted her teeth.
"So it's kind of like a Pendulum Summon?!" said Mieru.
"This power…. unreal…" said Dennis.
"You seem like you've never seen or heard of Reiji Akaba before." said Shingo as he looked towards Dennis.
"Oh I have!" said Dennis with an innocent tone. "Seeing it in person though is a different thing."
"I return my level seven d'Arc to the field!" A blue portal appeared and the Fusion Monster, d'Arc appeared.
D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000 Dark/Fiend/Fusion/LVL 7
Reiji stood alongside his three monsters and Yuzu gritted her teeth. "I now use Odysseus' Pendulum effect! When a D/D/D is Special Summoned to my field, once per turn, during either turn, I can draw one card!" Reiji drew with confidence. "You have one more turn to save yourself." said Reiji. "I set one card."
Turn 6
Reiji LP: 2600 Hand: 1
Yuzu LP: 2600 Hand: 0
"I don't need you to tell me. Draw!" said Yuzu. "Do you know what you did Reiji….? Do you know?!" she shouted.
"What did I do?" replied Reiji.
"My dad…. my friends…. all….all gone." said Yuzu as she clenched her fists while she closed her eyes tightly.
"Your dad was carded?" said Reiji as he pushed up his glasses. "My condolences but I take zero blame. You're looking to blame someone but I'm the wrong person."
"You never accept responsibility? Do you? Being CEO, I shouldn't be surprised, everyone reports to you!" said Yuzu. "But we're not your workers! We don't need to listen to you!" replied Yuzu as she slammed down her beliefs on Reiji.
"I'm sorry your father and friends got carded, but do you think I don't feel anger?! My father is running a school trained to turn people into fuel! My mother, my very own mother, went behind my back! My staff, who regardless of what you think, I do care about! Mostly gone!" yelled Reiji.
"Well you certainly don't show it!" replied Yuzu.
"Different people show things in different ways! End this duel and we can save everyone faster!"
"Not going to happen!" said Yuzu. "You need to learn a lesson! You can't just manipulate people!"
"Well I shall disagree! Make your move!" Reiji responded. "But first I cancel out your DuPre's Pendulum Effect thanks to Siegfried!" Siegfried lifted up his sword and DuPre dulled out.
"Now Yuzu can't gain attack during battle." said Rin.
"Fine but I can still Pendulum Summon! Appear my Queen Knight: The Pendulum Warrior!" An aura shot out of the Pendulum portal and a pink long haired female appeared. She had red, old style amour on with a red cape.
Queen Knight: The Pendulum Warrior ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Light/Warrior/Pendulum/LVL 7 – Scale 4
"Another new monster?" questioned Rin.
"This is it. This duel will be decided here." added Gongenzaka.
"Queen Knight gains 500 more attack thanks to Festival of Fairies!"
Queen Knight ATK: 3000
"I control monsters with more than enough attack to end this Reiji!" yelled Yuzu. "Attack Queen Knight, wipe out d'Arc!" Queen Knight picked up her sword and ran forward towards d'Arc. Both clashed with their swords but Queen Knight piled more pressure on hers and it resulted in d'Arc's destruction.
Reiji LP: 2600 – 2400
"Now Queen Knight's effect! When it destroys a monster, you take damage equal to the destroyed monsters attack!"
"It's over!" shouted Gongenzaka.
"Well done Yuzu!" cheered Mieru.
"No way is Reiji going to lose that easily." said Shingo with a firm tone. Queen Knight launched towards Reiji with her sword as she looked to cause effect damage.
"Of course I counter!" said Reiji. "I play the Trap Dark Contract with the End!"
"What does that do?!" replied Yuzu.
"If I would take effect damage, I can reduce it to zero!" Queen Knight was sent back to Yuzu's field. "Then I end the battle phase!"
"NO!" shouted Yuzu as she had lost her chance to end this duel.
"That snake!" said an angered Gongenzaka.
"Told ya." said a cocky Shingo.
"Whose side are you on?!" replied Gongenzaka.
"I end my turn." said Yuzu.
Turn 7
Reiji LP: 2400 Hand: 1
Yuzu LP: 2600 Hand: 0
"I draw!" commanded Reiji. "I now play the Quick-Play Spell, D/D Reuse. I target a Spell or Trap in my graveyard while I control a D/D and I can instantly use its effect! I activate Monster Reborn and bring back d'Arc!"
"NO!" yelled Yuzu as the Fusion Monster returned.
D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000 Dark/Fiend/Fusion/LVL 7
"I gain 1000 lifepoints thanks to my Continuous Dark Contract and d'Arc's effect and I shall also negate your Continuous Spell with Siegfried!" Siegfried aimed his sword again the Yuzu's Continuous Card and it dulled out once more.
Reiji LP: 2400 – 3400
Prima ATK: 3400
Opera ATK: 2300
Pendulum Warrior ATK: 2500
"I will end you with a perfect finish though; there is still a chance for you to forfeit this duel."
"You would want that, wouldn't you?!" said Yuzu. "Never! But tell me one thing Reiji, how are you still here?"
"What do you mean?" Yuzu pointed towards d'Arc.
"That, your Fusion Monster! You sent all Fusion users to the Fusion Dimension. You should have disappeared too!"
"All he summons come from the dimensional energy I caught beforehand, but I tweaked my duel disk before I activated my machine to send people back. I prevented myself from going."
"That's what I thought! It shows the coward you are!"
"Sometimes some dominos have to fall before the bigger picture is realised!"
"My dad is not a domino!" shouted back Yuzu.
"I shall continue our final turn. "I use Dark Contract with the Gate to add a D/D monster to my hand. I add D/D Savant Archimedes and now I summon it!"
D/D Savant Archimedes ATK: 100 DEF: 200 Dark/Fiend/LVL 3
"When this card is summoned, I can add a D/D/D Ritual Monster and a Ritual Spell Card from my deck to my hand!"
"Ritual?!" said Dennis.
"I would take 3000 points of damage of damage from doing this but thanks to d'Arc, I gain that amount! First I add D/D/D Prime Churchill and Dark Contract of the Raven!" Two cards popped out of Reiji's deck before it reshuffled itself, Reiji then added the cards to his hand. "I now gain 3000 lifepoints!" d'Arc's sword glowed as Reiji gained lifepoints.
Reiji LP: 3400 - 6400
"6400 lifepoints?!" Dennis stated.
"Yuzu can't win this!" thought a shocked Rin.
"I now use Dark Contract of the Raven and tribute D/D Savant Galilei in my hand!" A cauldron formed as both flew inside. A blue explosion arose to the ceiling and a monster slowly emerged. "Awaken! Level ten! D/D/D Rise Emperor Napoleon!" A blue swordsman came to the field. It had a golden shield. Reiji's Ritual Monster took its place on the field.
D/D/D Rise Emperor Napoleon ATK: 2600 DEF: 2000 Dark/Fiend/Ritual/LVL 10
"Thanks to Odysseus' effect, I draw a card! Reiji stood alongside his set Pendulum Scales and his Ritual, Fusion, Synchro and XYZ Monsters. Reiji was in total control. Shun looked in shock.
"Napoleon…. that monster!" Shun said.
"Is… is that bad?" questioned Rin.
"Just watch." he replied
"I shall end this duel now! Napoleon gains 200 attack points for each monster with a different Special Summoning method on my field."
"No way!" Yuzu shouted.
"I control a Ritual, Synchro, XYZ and Fusion. That's another 800 points!" Napoleon's sword increased in size.
Napoleon ATK: 3400
"d'Arc, attack Pendulum Warrior!" d'Arc flew forward with his wings and slashed Pendulum Warrior in halve, causing Yuzu to crunch in pain upon it being destroyed.
Yuzu LP: 2600 – 2300
"Next I use Napoleon to take out your Prima. Both will be destroyed!" Reiji's Napoleon leapt high into the air and so did Yuzu's. Both hit each other and both disappeared at the same time.
"Reiji…." said Dennis.
"Has a clear shot of winning now." added Shingo.
"Siegfried, attack Opera." commanded Reiji as the knight quickly destroyed the pink female with one slash of his sword.
Yuzu LP: 2300 - 1800
"Da…Dad….. I'm sorry." thought Yuzu. Her eyes were soulless.
"You tried hard, but not hard enough." said Reiji. "End this Wave King!" The XYZ monster leapt into the air and slammed his huge sword down onto the Yuzu. Yuzu took the blow head-on and was sent across the warehouse floor which generated a small cloud of dust from the impact.
Yuzu LP: 1800 – 0 Reiji Wins
"Yuzu!" shouted Rin and Gongenzaka at the same time as they ran to help her.
"I…. I… lost." said Yuzu as Rin and Gongenzaka helped her back up. Reiji pushed up his glasses.
"So, do we have anymore complaints about me being on the Lancers?" Reiji looked around and no one answered back. "Good, please come to LDS Tower if you wish to join the Lancers. If you fail to come, you will be forever known as the cowards who ran away."
"But isn't LDS destroyed?" questioned Shingo.
"I'll be able to repair a few things with Real Solid Vision. We shall meet up in twenty-four hours. I expect all of you to appear. I shall explain further of what I know there." said Reiji as he walked away with Tsukikage.
"That snake!" yelled Shun as he crunched his fist.
"Enough!" replied Rin as Yuzu now stood, disillusioned with herself alone.
"Enough? I'll not be made to obey Akaba anymore! Your friend there had a chance and she blew it!" Shun pointed towards Yuzu.
"Leave her!" defended Gongenzaka.
"No. I would have taken Reiji down with one turn!" Shun answered.
"I thought you lost to Reiji before." replied a smarting and cocky Shingo.
"Why you!" Shun said as he was about to launch a punch towards Shingo, however Gongenzaka grabbed his arm and threw him back.
"Stop it!" said Gongenzaka. Shun huffed in frustration.
"I don't need to be on the same team as two people who look like my sister." Shun walked off. Rin tried to follow but Gongenzaka blocked her way with his arm and shook his head.
"Well… that was entertaining!" said Dennis.
You Show Duel School – Two Hours Later
Yuzu walked in slowly into You Show Duel School. Gongenzaka and Rin followed him. The three made their way to the green seats and sat down. You Show had avoided all damage from the invasion. While Miami City was safe under the Real Solid Vision dome Reiji created, many people were now out and looking around at the damage Academia inflicted.
"Yuzu… say something." said Rin in a desperate attempt to get her friend to talk.
"Dad…. Yuya…. the kids…. all gone." she said monotoned.
"The man Gongenzaka doesn't even know how to fix her."
"I might." said a female voice. Gongenzaka and Rin looked and saw Yoko Sakaki walk in to the room.
"Mrs Sakaki?" said a surprised Gongenzaka.
"Hello Gongenzaka, Rin." Rin was surprised that Yoko knew who she was.
"Ho… how…." she stuttered.
"Don't worry. I know about the other dimensions and other things now. You don't need to worry or hide it anymore. I know Yuya wanted you to hide all the information away but I know now." said Yoko. Yuzu looked up.
"Mrs Sakaki? Why are you here?" said Yuzu.
"I was there Yuzu; I was there at the stadium when your father and the kids were about to battle." Yuzu looked away with sadness.
"What happened?" asked Rin.
"I was evacuated by LDS staff. I was reluctant to go, but Yuzu's father, Shuzo, was able to convince me to leave. I was able to watch it all unfold within the helicopter. Yuzu….." Yuzu remained speechless. "I saw Shuzo's duel."
"Yo- you did?" she replied.
"Yes and he fought like the brave man he is. He was doing it to protect you and Yuya."
"That idiot." said Yuzu still depressed.
"I don't think so. He wouldn't have had it any other way. He's your father and will always protect you. He was determined to not go down without a fight and he fought as well as he could."
"He did?" Yuzu replied.
"Yes he did." Yoko still saw Yuzu looking down towards the ground with depression. "Hey Yuzu, do you remember when you and Yuya were younger?"
"Younger?" asked Yuzu.
"Yeah back when you and Yuya were kids. That time when Yuya lost his deck at the park and he wanted to give up when he couldn't find it."
"Oh yeah…." thought Yuzu.
Flashback - Yuzu & Yuya – 8 Years Old
Young Yuya wore a half red and white short sleeved hoodie with blue shorts and his goggles and young Yuzu wore a pink dress with blue flower like hairclips. She wore her bracelet around her neck with the string. The two were sitting on a hill which was beside a flowing river.
"I give up!" said Yuya. He slammed his small fists into the ground.
"Well have you looked everywhere?!" said a determined Yuzu.
"I looked! My Odd-Eyes Dragon is gone forever." Yuya began to tear up while Yuzu gritted her teeth and her face went red with rage.
"Enough!" said Yuzu as she went walking away. Yuya was surprised by this.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find that deck!"
"But we searched everywhere?" he replied.
"We'll search again! Until we find it! Where did you last see it?" said Yuzu as she looked around the hill.
"Just over there, remember?" Yuya replied as he pointed at the top of the hill.
"Well I don't see it! Are you sure you didn't pick it up?!" Yuzu said.
"I know I didn't!" Yuya stood up and he could feel a weight in his pocket getting lighter and lighter. Yuya looked down and he saw cards falling from his pocket. Yuya saw his Performapals and then Odd-Eyes Dragon fall out until none were left.
"I told you!" said Yuzu as she ran back. "You dummy!" Yuzu picked up the cards and stacked them into a pile. She handed it back to Yuya who took it.
"Thanks Yuzu."
"Well you would do the same to me." she said with a smile back.
Flashback End
"You see Yuzu, back then you were able to help Yuya through a tough time. You were able to get him believing that he would find his deck again and you did. I know this is a much different and scarier event with your father being sealed away but you've proven time and time again that you don't give up. You can't start now, you can do this." Yoko explained.
"So you know Yuya is missing?" Yuzu replied.
"Yes and I'm devastated. Yusho is missing and now Yuya…. but I know crying about it won't find them. Yes you can be concerned but unless you take action, you won't get anywhere. The LDS staff told us survivors all that LDS knew and I don't begin to understand it, but you and Yuya are connected to all of this and you are key players to bring everyone home!"
"Key players?" questioned Yuzu.
"Yes, your team spirit and your willingness to not give up, that's important. Yes you and Yuya are connected to whatever is going on, but you're much more than that." Yuzu smiled and stood up. Her eyes regained some life.
"You're right Mrs Sakaki. Dad and the others wouldn't want me to give up; Yuya would never forgive me if I didn't."
"That's the spirit and you two as well…" Yoko looked at Gongenzaka and Rin.
"Yes Mrs Sakaki?" asked Gongenzaka.
"Your father is safe along with the dojo, however, many of the students fell protecting it."
"I understand." said Gongenzaka. "The man Gongenzaka will see to him before leaving."
"So you're going Gongenzaka?" asked Yuzu.
"Yes, I must save this world."
"And Rin." said Yoko. Rin looked surprised that she was talking to her.
"Um… yeah?" said a surprised Rin.
"I know you don't come from this world, or dimension to be precise but I know you're missing your friend Yugo who looks like Yuya." added Yoko.
"Ye- yeah…." Rin replied.
"I know that you'll find him as well. My point is guys… is that you need to join the Lancers… with Reiji."
"But Mrs Sakaki…." replied Yuzu.
"I know he's a snake, but he also has a lot going on. His father Leo Akaba is the leader of the group who attacked, his own mother betrayed him. That doesn't excuse his actions in anyway but it's something to keep in mind."
"Did they tell you about what they claim Yusho Sakaki did?" added Gongenzaka.
"Not directly but I've been hearing rumours about it for years." Everyone was shocked.
"You knew?" asked Gongenzaka.
"Yes as far as the rumours go." replied Yoko. "I was going to hear some things being the wife of the supposed stealer of Real Solid Vision."
"Why didn't you say anything?" asked Rin an innocent question.
"It's a long story…." said Yoko.
Flashback – Five Years Ago – LDS
"Leo… this…. this is amazing!" said Yusho as he and Yoko were in a laboratory inside LDS. Leo wore a blue coat with a Standard duel disk on.
"Yes, let's try again." said Leo as he placed the Monster Card, Kuriboh onto his duel disk. A bright light appeared and the brown fuzzball emerged from the duel disk and onto a table.
"Now for the real test." said Yusho. He was able to pick up the monster without any glitches. There in his hand was more than a hologram.
"It's so cute!" said Yoko.
"Yusho, our research after all these years, it's finally coming true!" said Leo with excitement.
"Yes. I always knew you could do it." replied Yusho.
Flashback End
"You see Yuzu, Yusho and Leo were great friends. Yusho was always a stuntman and wanted a way to show himself off in duels while Leo was a famous inventor and scientist. He formed the Leo Cooperation to further duels and make cards. He then set up schools across the world to reach dueling to the different edges of the world; however he wanted to push duels on either further. "
"This was before Yusho was famous for his Action Duels?" said Yuzu.
"Yes, without Real Solid Vision, Action Duels would never exist. Yusho was a talented duelist and was known around the world anyway for that. Leo Akaba and Yusho both wanted to push onwards in their careers. Leo wanted to become an even greater inventor while Yusho wanted to up his entertainment, so the two friends knew what they had to do. Leo would create Real Solid Vision while Yusho would assist with his knowledge on dueling and promote it."
"But Leo was teased?" asked Rin.
"Yes he was. It took Leo along time to build Real Solid Vision. He went on T.V about it and was mocked by almost everyone. No one dared to think holograms could become touchable but Yusho stood by him as a loyal friend."
"Reiji said Leo Akaba left three years ago… and soon after Yusho left." said Yuzu.
"After Leo made the system, he let Yusho show it off and the world was amazed. He set up You Show to teach local kids and for those two years before Leo and Yusho went, Yusho was making Action Duels a reality. Leo on the other hand remained behind the scenes to further its progress. He was fine with Yusho showing it off. However it wasn't mass made, only Leo and Yusho had copies. Only after two years was an official contract signed and Real Solid Vision was available to buy for schools. That's when all the trouble started."
Flashback – Three Years Ago – Outside LDS
Outside LDS Tower was a stage with a microphone stand on it. A massive crowd of the public and the press were waiting for the official reveal of the now readily available Real Solid Vision. There were cameras from countries all around the world waiting to broadcast.
In the wings were Leo and Yusho both in suits. A man in a blue pinned suit who wore glasses was also waiting. He was the owner of the company who was the first distributor of Real Solid Vision.
"This is it." said the man to Yusho and Leo. "All your work will finally be recognised."
"Well it's not my work, it's all Leo's. I deserve none." said a humble Yusho.
"Nonsense friend." said Leo as he placed his hand on Yusho's shoulder. "Without you, I would never have done this. You stood by me when the rest of the world didn't. I think even my workers at Leo Cooperation didn't trust me, but you did. "
"We shall go on together." said Yusho.
"Yes and we shall be a household name!" added Leo. The company owner walked onto the stage and in front of the microphone."
"Ladies and Gentleman!" said the man. "We are here today to present to you the people who created the Real Solid Vision software. Now with our backing, this system will be able to be used across the world! First of all, you've seen him in action using it and now you can use it yourself from today! It's Yusho Sakaki!" Yusho walked on, waving as he entered the stage. Leo smiled from the sidelines. The press were yelling with their cameras.
"YUSHO!"
"YUSHO!"
Yusho walked to the microphone and smiled. "Hello everyone! Thank you for coming!"
As Leo waited for his turn, he could hear the press asking Yusho questions.
"Mr Sakaki, what's it like to be the driving force of Real Solid Vision?" asked one man.
"Driving force? No, no, the real mastermind is my good friend Leo Akaba who should join me on sta-"
"Leo Akaba?!" said the journalists at once. They all burst into laughter. Leo, who was smiling and ready to enter from behind the curtain, saw the laughing public and press. Leo's face was shocked.
"Good one Yusho!" said one journalist.
"But it's true…." said Yusho.
"You can't expect that idiot to have done all this? You're the excellent duelist." said a female journalist. "Now what was it like coming up with this idea?"
"But it was Le-"
"What my client means to say is that Leo Akaba might have had the idea, Yusho Sakaki was the true inventor!" said the company manager. Yusho looked at the manager and the manager covered his mouth and whispered into Yusho's ear. "If you want this deal, just say it was you."
"I can't do that?!" said Yusho.
"Leo has tried many things in the past and failed, no-one would trust this system with his name on it. Yes he built a company but his image is terrible for the press. Just say it was you and split the cheque later. Your reputation is at stake, don't mess this up!" said the sleazeballmanager. Yusho was speechless as he looked at the crowd. He looked left and saw Leo slowing moving away from the curtain. He looked into the public and could see Yoko holding Yuya's hand; he looked down towards the ground.
"Yes, I Yusho Sakaki is the true inventor of Real Solid Vision!" The crowd all cheered as he announced what they wanted to hear.
"Oh Yusho." thought Yoko as she saw her husband lie.
Flashback End
"I don't know what happened to Leo afterwards." said Yoko. "But Yusho came in afterwards and told me in private what he did. He was generally sorry and had tried to contact Leo but he didn't answer. I knew Yusho was sorry and I understood."
"Reiji told me that Leo then dug himself into his work and discovered the other dimensions. Leo must have sick of being teased and living his life in ruin, he crossed dimensions to become a god." said Yuzu.
"Yes and shortly after that, Yusho disappeared. He left without saying anything. After Leo disappeared, Reiji was placed in charge of Leo Co and the schools. Reiji quickly ripped up the contract and begun to rebuild his father's legacy, he said only Leo Co would make Real Solid Vision. Everything changed."
"Yusho must have crossed dimensions." said Rin.
"Yes. Looking back at it now, it makes the most sense. How though I don't know. I always thought Yusho went after Leo to say sorry, I never expected him to cross universes to do it." replied Yoko. "Where he is though, I don't know. I know Shuzo and Edo spoke about him but the feed was dodgy."
"Yusho must be in Fusion." said Gongenzaka.
"Then you must go with Reiji and find Yuya and everyone else!" Yoko said. "Do this for everyone!"
"I know but Reiji is a snake…" said Rin.
"You don't need to like Reiji; you just need to be a team. That doesn't mean Reiji should get all his way though." replied Yoko.
"Mrs Sakaki, I will bring everyone home." said Yuzu. She and Yuzu embraced in a hug as Gongenzaka and Rin smiled on.
"I know you guys will. Now you have a day to get ready." said Yoko. "Also, Yuzu."
"Yeah Mrs Sakaki?"
"I don't know the climates you'll be facing but you wear something warmer." Yoko handed Yuzu a uniform from Yuzu and Yuya's school, it was the long white and red outfit which Yuya used as a cape.
"Is this one of Yuya's?" she said.
"Yeah but don't worry, they fit all sizes and shapes!" added Yoko. "This way, you have a bit of Yuya to keep you going."
"Thanks Mrs Sakaki." Yuzu smiled afterwards.
A Day Later – LDS Tower
Yuzu, Rin and Gongenzaka made their way into LDS Tower. Yuzu was wearing the school uniform over her sleeveless uniform. They were being led by one of the last remaining LDS staff. The tower was badly damaged but due to the Real Solid Vision, it had been patched up nicely. Yuzu looked at Gongenzaka who had bruises across his face.
"Why are you beat up?" said Yuzu.
"Me and father had a tough duel to see if I'm ready." Gongenzaka replied.
"Are you shall we're ready?" Rin asked Yuzu.
"We have no other choice; this is for Yuya and Yugo." Yuzu replied. The two girls looked at their bracelets. The staff member showed the three into Reiji's office and they walked in.
Inside was a shocking surprise. Everyone was there, including Shun. Yuzu looked around the room. Everyone had their duel disks on their wrists.
"Hey Yuzu!" said Mieru.
"Mieru, hi." replied Yuzu. "Where's Reiji?"
"We don't know." said Shingo. "Maybe if the slow patrol didn't keep us waiting…."
"We're not slow!" shouted back Rin. Just then, Yuzu and the others could hear walking and they turned. They saw Reiji walking down a spiral staircase with his duel disk on.
"And he finally shows up." said an annoyed Shun.
"We're all here then." said Reiji. "Good to see." Reiji walked to his office floor where the others stood and waited for him.
"Everyone is here!" said Dennis as if he was trying to suck up to Reiji.
"I can see that." Reiji pushed his glasses up and Dennis freaked out with fear in his facial expression. "Moving on… so we're all ready to go?" Yuzu looked at Shun who held his fist with annoyance.
"No." said Yuzu bravely. "We're not."
"Care to explain?" said Reiji.
"Reiji, what do you believe happened to your father with Yusho now you know he's Academia?" Yuzu replied.
"I see you've been speaking to Yoko Sakaki. Don't worry, I now side with Yusho and Yuya."
"Good but, there's one thing we demand in return." Yuzu added.
"Do you speak for the whole team?" Reiji answered.
"What is Yuzu playing at?" asked Mieru.
"I have a good idea what she's playing." replied Rin. Yuzu pointed towards Shun.
"It's him. Shun Kurosaki." Yuzu said.
"What about me?!" Shun angrily answered.
"I would like to know as well." said Reiji.
"Until you send Shun home, I won't be coming." Yuzu said. Reiji and Shun were caught out by this in different ways. Reiji was annoyed while Shun seemed surpassed inside.
"Shun is coming with us and that is that." Reiji said.
"No." said Gongenzaka. "A team isn't just one person wishes. You've held him here long enough. Let him return to his dimension and find his sister."
"I hold the power of the Pendulum Gateway I-"
"Doesn't matter!" said Rin who stood next to Yuzu. "We're a team and without us, you have no-one."
"Well I won't need you then, you might have the bracelets but I still have a tea-"Reiji looked as he saw Mieru, Shingo side with Yuzu.
"I'm with Yuzu! You need to have some compromise!" added Mieru.
"I alone am good enough for this team but I fought with Shun, he needs to return home." Shingo stated. Dennis and Tsukikage didn't move from their positions.
"So this is mutiny?" asked Reiji.
"It won't be if you return Shun home." added Yuzu. "Your treatment of him has been awful!" Reiji looked on firmly.
"You're making a bold mistake but fine." replied Reiji. He lifted up his duel disk and clicked a button.
Two metal poles came down from the ceiling; there was a decent sized gap between the two. The poles then connected to the floor and begun to light up with a yellow colour.
"This is our pathway." said Reiji. "By harnessing the energy of the summons, we can cross dimensions." The poles shot a beam and it begun to form a spinning circle.
"Amazing…" said Dennis.
"So you wish to return to XYZ then?" said Reiji to Shun.
"Yes I do! Now return me!" he shouted back.
"Fine." said Reiji reluctantly. Reiji pushed a button on his duel disk and the circle became black like a XYZ card. "I prepared Pendulum Car-"
"I don't need your Pendulum Cards, now return me." said Shun.
"It's open. It will return you to the centre of Heartland. "
"Good and good riddance to you all." replied Shun as he walked towards the portal. A blue energy appeared in the centre of it and Shun walked through. He disappeared.
"Not even saying thank you…." said Mieru. "The cheek."
"It's fine. Now he can be back home." said Yuzu.
"Now you've all done committing mutiny, I have these gifts for you. Hold up your duel disks and connect them to mine." Each one turned on their duel disks and connected to Reiji's. A downloading bar appeared and surprised everyone. It finished within a second.
"What did you do?" asked Rin.
"As Lancers, our best weapons are Action Cards, Action Fields and Pendulums. I've downloaded software to allow you to execute Action Duels with Action Cards within your duel disks. Use them as you wish." said Reiji.
"Without a projector? Not bad." said Shingo.
"Now as I said to Shun, I have created Pendulums for those without Pendulum Cards." said Reiji.
"No fair!" said Shingo. Reiji passed a set of two cards to Gongenzaka, Mieru, Tsukikage and Rin.
"I've analysed your decks and these cards should help." said Reiji. Rin looked at Yuzu.
"Are you sure?" Rin asked her.
"Yes, Yoko told the truth. We need to be on his side even if we don't agree." Yuzu replied.
"Now, Academia are a school with highly trained duel warriors, we have seen them carding people for their goal. We know they want the boys who looked like Yuya and the bracelets which Rin and Yuzu wear. We must stop them at all costs." said Reiji.
"Yes, now let's go to Academia and quick some butt!" said Shino with an excited tone.
"Straight to Academia?" thought Dennis. "This might be easier then we thought."
"Don't be stupid." said Reiji. "Entering a war without support is suicide. We must head to the other dimensions to gain support. We must win peoples trust and let them join us in the battle." Reiji replied.
"So where do we go first?" asked Yuzu.
"We shall split into two teams of four. One shall head to Ritual while the other head to Synchro." said Reiji.
"Synchro?" said Rin.
"Yes. XYZ will be a wasteland and Fusion is flooded with the enemy. Ritual and Synchro are mutual grounds."
"So who goes where?" asked Gongenzaka.
"Me, Yuzu, Gongenzaka and Mieru will head to Ritual while Rin, Shingo, Dennis and Tsukikage will go to Synchro." Reiji replied.
"Shouldn't the two girls be together?" Gongenzaka replied.
"No. Having them in the same place makes them vulnerable. With one in each dimension, we stretch Academia's forces."
"I agree." said Yuzu.
"Same." replied Rin. "Plus Synchro is my home. I'll be able to help there."
"I have added cross-dimension communication into our duel disks and the ability to cross dimensions. However it will take a few days to recharge so use it wisely." said Reiji. "Now team Synchro, prepare to leave."
"Rin, good luck." said Yuzu as she Rin embraced in a hug.
"You to Yuzu. Don't go around and get in trouble." Rin replied.
"I'll try not to." joked Yuzu. The girl's bracelets glowed as they left the hug.
"Ready to go Mr Reiji." said Tsukikage.
"Good." Reiji changed the circle to a white colour, to represent Synchro Summoning. Rin along with Dennis, Shingo and Tsukikage walked through. Rin put her thumps up to Gongenzaka and Yuzu as she and the others left.
"Good luck Rin." thought Yuzu with a smile.
"Now our turn." said Reiji as the circle changed to blue.
"Were coming for you Yuya." said Gongenzaka.
"Yes, yes we are." said Yuzu as the four headed to Ritual.
"And I'm coming for you Leo." thought Reiji as he disappeared away.
Academia
Yuto was in his cell and holding Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon, it begun to glow. Yuto's eyes begun to glow as well. He smirked to himself.
A/N: Bloody hell that was a long one. We're now moving onto other dimensions, well not before we pop into check on Yuto at Academia next chapter! Thanks again to Romadrox who has given me some exciting ideas. It was his idea to give Yuzu a new outfit, or a look. I like it as well as it references Yuzu's billion outfit changes.
I'm glad to have Reiji control all his cards on the field. That was fun. Any mistakes, please say. And thanks again for reviews etc.
