Serena walked down a ruin-like corridor. She was inside the ancient coliseum which was where the Obelisk Blue students would duel and train before entering the battlefield but it was also a place of punishment. As she walked down the corridor, Serena gritted her teeth and her hands were clinched. The defeat to Rin burnt in her mind.
"Damn that girl!" Serena thought. "I'll get my revenge!" Serena looked at her duel disk as she walked along. She mainly looked at her deck and smirked. "My new power will help me. I was being let down by my old deck, this is the power I needed to become better!"
Flashback – One Day Earlier - Academia Training Field
Serena and Yuri were inside a Academia training room. Inside were giant concrete tall walls which circled the centre. The training ground was in the center of the room was unconnected to the walls so a giant gap was all around. One false move and someone would fall a long way downwards. Only via a stairway could anyone enter or exit.
"I see the prison cell didn't get to you, hey Serena?" joked Yuri.
"Oh as if a cell would break me, anyway, if the Professor thinks it's necessary, who are we to argue against that?" replied Serena.
"Of course." said Yuri. "So how on earth did you fail to beat your Synchro counterpart?" Yuri teased.
"You have nerve!" replied back an angry Serena. "Last time I checked, you failed to capture your Ritual, Standard and Synchro counterpart!"
"Yes but at least I've helped Academia by carding fifty people in XYZ, what's your record…..?"
"It doesn't matter." said Serena as she tried to dodge the question.
"Oh yeah, five!" Yuri said playfully. Serena ignored Yuri. "Hey, I'm only trying to pass the time."
"You've got an awkward way of showing it."
"Ah, you know you love it." Yuri said. "Look Serena, after this, I'll try and help you get the required skill and knowledge to move up to Ra Yellow, unlike the other Slifer Reds, at least you've been allowed out onto the field. We're special like that!"
"Yeah, I know, thanks Yuri." she replied.
"Stick with me; you'll never go wrong Serena. I've got us out of so many scraps in the past!" Yuri winked at her.
"You?! You're the one who got us into different messes! I'm also the reason you had a friend! I made friends with you when no one else would!"
"They were just scared. I beat people left, right and centre, and that's still the case now, they all fear me, I don't need anyone….!"
"Except me, you can say it…." said Serena, now joking back. Yuri looked awkwardly at the wall.
"Enough lovebirds."
Serena and Yuri looked upwards and saw Sora walk down some stairs. Sora had a green lollipop in his mouth.
"Sora Shiunin?" said the two at once as Sora smirked down the stairway.
"Why are you here?" asked Yuri.
"Come on, at least look pleased?" said Sora as he entered the arena.
"I heard that you were sent back from Standard?" said Serena.
"Gossip goes around fast, but yes, I was. Somehow all Fusion users were sent from Standard and back to Fusion. All Academia personnel were returned to Academia while the Standard Fusion users were it seems, collected by the Fusion Rebellion group, led by Yusho Sakaki." added Sora.
"Why are you here anyway?" Yuri asked. "You were sent back from Standard before, you tried to take out Reiji Akaba without the Professors permission, why wasn't you carded or something for your disobedience?!"
"Yes I went overboard and heck, I was actually starting to get along with Yuzu and Yuya, as friends…. I was chosen as an Obelisk Blue to head to Standard and make friends with them, so as a student, I had a parasite inside my brain from the start! It's how Dennis and everyone else knew about me while I was in Standard! " replied Sora.
"Those parasites always grossed me out." said Serena.
"Yeah but because we're special, we're unable to be carded or parasited." said a smug Yuri.
"Yes you're special." replied Sora. "But that doesn't mean you're immune to other forms of torture, which is why tomorrow you will both be fighting in the coliseum, against each other!"
"What?!" said Serena with shock.
"Cool." said Yuri with a smirk.
"How is that cool?!"
"Because I've been stuck in a cell for days on end, a duel against anyone is most welcome. But why are you ordering me around?" said Yuri to Sora.
"I'm the Professor's new right hand man while Dennis is out with the Lancers! You may be a field commander, but now I'm much higher up the food chain then you Yuri!" Yuri gritted his teeth at Sora's truth. "I've proven to Academia how good I am, so upon being returned, rather than being turned into a card, I was re-educated and now that weak side of me is gone!"
"More like brainwashed." thought Serena. "What if we refuse to duel each other?"
"Then that jail cell will be your home for more days. I'm sure Academia can find other forms of punishment for you instead!" replied Sora.
"Just accept it Serena." Yuri said.
"Fine…" Serena begrudged did.
"Good." said Sora. "Now Serena, take these." Sora threw two cards towards Serena and she caught them. She looked at them with surprise.
"Pendulum Cards…" she said to herself.
"Yes, you're going to be the first people to use them in this world, your punishment is also a trial." Sora got two more cards from his pocket and aimed it at Yuri.
"No thank you." said Yuri.
"Excuse me?" Sora replied.
"I don't want filthy Pendulum Cards. I thought Academia looked down on the other summons?" Yuri responded.
"We do, but the Pendulum energy is different. It's the energy which the Professor discovered back in Standard and it's not one of the original summoning methods. It's pure and can be used for our fight, there's no history behind it unlike the scummy XYZ Summoning. Now take it!" Sora demanded.
"I work with my cards and my cards alone." Yuri said.
"Fine but I'm sure the Professor won't be happy about it." Sora responded.
"I'm already getting punished, what more could happen?" he cheekily answered.
"Since I saw the Pendulum Summoning first hand, I'll teach Serena how to use them properly, since you won't join the training Yuri, go wait over there." Serena looked at the Pendulum Cards.
"This is my chance, my chance to finally have a deck which matches my skill!"
Flashback End
Serena made her way to a wooden gate and she looked out towards the ancient coliseum. Before her eyes, was a duel occurring between Barrett and the Doctor.
Both were chained up to a machine, all which was made by Real Solid Vision. The Doctor was struggling on his knees and he looked at Barrett with a scared look. The Doctor was on his last few lifepoints and it was now Barrett's turn.
"Go Beastborg Wolf Kampfer, end this!" The robotic wolf which stood on its back legs swung down and hit the Doctor directly. He was sent flying but the chain stopped him from going too far and as Serena watched, she could only fear what was going to happen.
An electrical voltage ran through the chains and zapped the Doctor as Serena turned away, all she could hear was the Doctor's blood-curling scream. Serena slowly looked back at the field and the Doctor was being carried off in a stretcher while Barrett walked off the field with a few bumps, Serena's fear increased.
"No… not this…. why this?" she said.
"Because it's a punishment, duh." said Sora who appeared on a holographic screen before her.
"Sora!" Serena yelled.
"Yeah I'll be watching over this one, now enter and face your friend!" The doors slowly opened up and Serena walked in with reluctance. On the other side of the stadium, Yuri entered; both of the two had their duel disks on.
"Let's just get this over and done with." said Serena.
"As ever, inpatient." replied Yuri.
"You know why Yuri." Serena snapped back. Up in the stands was Sora in a control booth.
"This should be good! Go Action Field, Torture Arena!" The field begun to form an Action Field but the only change was a machine which formed behind the two duelists with metal chains connecting to their ankles. Both Serena and Yuri's reactions couldn't be any more different, Serena was scared while Yuri smirked.
Action Field – Torture Arena Activated
"Damnit." thought Serena as she looked at the machine.
"Well this is quite the new style for me." said a smug Yuri.
"Now, let's get this duel underway!" Sora said from the stand.
"Fine…." said Serena. She bit her lip with nerves going through her body.
Turn 1
Yuri LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Serena LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I'll begin!" Yuri said. "I play Polymerization! I'm fusing together my Predaplant Drosophyllum Hydra and Predaplant Lilyzard!" Yuri held up his Spell Card as Hydra and Lillyzard fused. "Appear Predaplant Chimerafflesia!" yelled Yuri as he placed his fists into the Fusion pose. A large green plant appeared with no head but red petals around its neck. Its long green stalk arms had two venus flytraps for hands.
Predaplant Chimerafflesia ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Dark/Plant/Fusion/LVL 7
"That monster Yuri, you've always had it, ever since we met." Serena seemed to forget about the machine for a second.
"And just like it was in the orphanage, I'll always remain on top! I set one card and I end there."
Turn 2
Yuri LP: 4000 Hand: 1
Serena LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"Then I'll show you my new power! Draw!"
"Maybe this time you'll actually push me." gloated Yuri.
"Enough with the thrash talk Yuri, I see through it!" Serena replied with a friendly tone. The more she got into the duel, the more Serena forgot about the machine and chains. "I also play Polymerization! I fuse Lunalight Purple Butterfly and Blue Cat in my hand!" Both Lunalights spun around as Serena launched into the Fusion pose. "I Fusion Summon! My Lunalight Cat Dancer!" A tall woman dressed like a dancer appeared, circling onto the field. She had long red hair and wore a long green skirt. She held a dagger in her right hand.
Lunalight Cat Dancer ATK: 2400 DEF: 2000 Dark/Beast-Warrior/Fusion/LVL 7
"And now comes my Spell, Lunalight Perfume, allowing me to bring back a Lunalight in my graveyard! Return Blue Cat!" Blue Cat spun around on the field with a bright smile.
Lunalight Blue Cat ATK: 1600 DEF: 1200 Dark/Beast-Warrior/LVL 4
"When Blue Cat is Special Summoned, I can double the attack of one other Lunalight monster on my field. I double my Cat Dancer!"
Lunalight Cat Dancer ATK: 4800
"Oh Serena, for all these years, you still do the same opening move." added Yuri,
"Well this time will have a different outcome! I use Cat Dancer's effect and tribute Blue Cat!" Blue Cat disappeared. "Now I can attack all monsters you control with Cat Dancer twice, but for the first time, they're not destroyed! Go Cat Dancer!"
"I use Chimerafflesia's effect! When it's attacked, I can reduce the attacking monsters attack by 1000 and Chimerafflesia gains 1000!"
Cat Dancer ATK: 3800
Chimerafflesia ATK: 3500
"Reducing the damage then? It doesn't matter, attack!" Cat Dancer went directly in with a foot stamp and it hit Chimerafflesia with a large thump.
Yuri LP: 4000 – 3700
As Yuri took damage, the Action Field shocked Yuri via the chains and he lit up with pain. He yelled out which rung right through Serena.
"Yuri?! I didn't mean to?!" Yuri got back up as the pain wore off; Yuri slowly looked at Serena with a glee in his eye.
"More!"
"More?" Serena replied. "Coming up! Go Cat Dancer!" Cat Dancer hit the plant once more and this time it was destroyed. Yuri smirked as the shock, this time, didn't come as a surprise and he seemed to enjoy it.
Yuri LP: 3700- 3400
"Enjoy that Yuri?!" Serena said.
"Not bad Serena, I'm glad you didn't chicken out of it, I know how much you care about me." Yuri said.
"I inflicted that pain because I care Yuri." said Serena. "I know how much you love it."
"Unlike you." Yuri replied.
"Shut it Yuri, don't… don't joke about those things… why else do you think I didn't want this duel to happen?" Serena replied with a sad tone.
"I… I know, sorry." Yuri said back. "You're one of the only people who I wish not to inflict pain on, alone with the Professor... Marina..."
"Well we're in this mess now, don't go easy on me!" Serena said. "I set a card and end my turn!"
Cat Dancer ATK: 2400
Sora sat in the stand and smirked. "This is exactly what the Professor thought would happen, this is a punishment after all. Serena doesn't like the pain but doesn't want Yuri to go easy on her while Yuri cannot bear to hurt one of his only real friends, but no way can he resist not winning." he thought. "This is getting good." Sora smirked.
Turn 3
Yuri LP: 3400 Hand: 1
Serena LP: 4000 Hand: 1
"During the standby phase after Chimerafflesia was sent to the graveyard, I can add one Fusion Spell Card or one Polymerization, I add one Polymerization from my deck and now I draw!" said Yuri. He looked at his card. "Maybe there is something I can do." he thought. "My earliest memory was being in the orphanage with Serena, she's always been there for me. She knows me inside out and I know her more than anyone, I can't let bad things happen to her."
Flashback – Six Years Ago – Orphanage
The orphanage in the Fusion Dimension was a run-down building. Inside was a big room with a wooden floor and a table with several chairs. There were many kids running around on the other side of the room while some were dueling on the table, this included Yuri with a watching Serena next to him.
Yuri wore a long purple shirt while Serena wore a magenta short-sleeved shirt with stars going down it. She wore white shorts with black shorts underneath with white shoes. Yuri was about to win the duel with his Starving Venom Fusion Dragon on the field.
"Go Starving Venom!" said Yuri as he pushed his card forward to represent a direct attack.
"I don't think so!" said his opponent who was a young boy in a yellow shirt. "Go my Mirror Force!"
"Ooh!" said the kids as they were impressed with the counter. Serena however was watching Yuri as his face slowly lit up with redness.
"Not fair!" Yuri wiped all the cards off the table and onto the floor. Yuri slammed his hands onto the table in rage. "NOT FAIR!" All the kids slowly backed away from the table except Serena; she was used to Yuri and his outbursts.
"Yuri!" Serena said. "How many times?! These things happen, it isn't unfair! Say sorry!" Yuri looked at the scared kids with an innocent face; Yuri really didn't mean to cause offense.
"Oh… I did it again…." he said to himself.
Yuri bent down and picked up the cards, organizing them back into their respective decks. Yuri placed his one back onto the table while holding out the other deck to his opponent.
"I'm sorry…. again." Yuri said. His opponent slowly walked forward and took his deck. He was being cautious as the kids knew about Yuri's anger and Serena's temper.
"Th- thank you." said the young boy.
"You and your outbursts Yuri…." said Serena embarrassed.
Flashback End
"Serena has always been there for me, unlike those others who didn't want anything to do with me! The others who refused to be with me because I was stronger! The Professor showed me the truth! Serena however has never turned away from me! I'll help her! I won't inflict that pain on her!"
"Hurry up Yuri." Serena said.
"Fine…. I end my turn!"
"You what?!" Serena shouted. "You insult me?!"
"No, of course I don-"
"Enough!" Serena yelled.
"You don't like the pain of being electrocuted Serena, remember?"
"I know Yuri and I don't wish to relive it again either! But you not attacking and going easy on me is a bigger insult, I will never improve!"
Turn 4
Yuri LP: 3400 Hand: 3
Serena LP: 4000 Hand: 1
"I draw!" Serena drew the card and smirked. "I won't let you go easy on me! I set my Pendulum Scale with scale one Lunalight Wolf and scale five Lunalight Tiger!" Serena slammed them down onto her blue sword duel disk and two beacons lit up. A yellow and black tiger appeared in one while a pink wolf appeared in the other with long black and blue hair.
Wolf 1 - Tiger 5
"This power will finally give my deck the power to match my skill! I use Tiger's Pendulum effect to Special Summon one Lunalight from my graveyard, however its effects are negated, it cannot attack and it's destroyed during the end phase! Return my Blue Cat!"
Lunalight Blue Cat ATK: 1600 DEF: 1200 Dark/Beast-Warrior/LVL 4
"Now comes my Wolf's effect! I Fusion Summon with material in my hand or field, however I must banish them instead! I fuse Blue Cat and Cat Dancer!" Both monsters spun in the whirlpool as Serena launched into the Fusion pose. "Swarm in the vortex of moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Elegant beast dancing in the moonlit wilderness! Lunalight Panther Dancer!" A female panther on two legs appeared. She had short black hair and wore a purple dress.
Lunalight Panther Dancer ATK: 2800 DEF: 2500 Dark/Beast-Warrior/Fusion/LVL 8
"Attack Yuri directly!" Serena roared as Panther Dancer extended her claws and slashed Yuri across the chest several times. As Yuri fell to the floor, more electrical volts charged through the chains and zapped him. Yuri landed on the floor and this time without a smirk. He looked up and saw Serena's rage.
Yuri LP: 3400 - 600
"That's not all!" Serena activated a Trap on her duel disk. "I play Battle Rage! I pay halve of my lifepoints and target one monster, it can attack once more!"
"Serena?!" said Yuri as the chains charged up upon Serena's lifepoints dropping.
Serena LP: 4000 - 2000
Serena gritted her teeth as the shock got closer. Her heart begun to beat more and more as she could only think back to that day.
Academia – Three Years Ago – Laboratory
Leo and a male with a large, black spiked hair in a lab coat were inside a near empty Laboratory. Inside was a white table and a young Serena tied up on it. She had a black and red mask over her eyes. Wires from a huge metal machine were connected to her arms and legs with pads. Serena was calm over the matter.
"The process is ready Professor." said the male.
"Good work Cobra, and she cannot hear us?" Leo replied.
"No sir, she cannot." Cobra replied.
"Excellent, remember, continuing shocking her and showing her vivid images of the Fusion war into her brain, I want nothing left off the good angel inside of her. Traumatise the hell out of her."
"Yes sir." Leo walked out of the room as the machine could be heard charging up and the electrocuting beginning. As Leo left the room, the sound of Serena screaming every few seconds could be heard, much to his delight."
Flashback End
Serena yelled in pain as the shock went directly through her body and the images she saw of the war flashed back into her mind. Serena opened her eyes and quickly begun to breath in and out as fast as her body could. Serena couldn't remember why she feared this pain so much or why she had these vivid images of the war in her head, but they were there.
The shocking ended and Serena landed on her knees, her face was near blank.
"Serena?" asked Yuri with concern.
"Now… I attack you again Yuri!" yelled Serena with rage as she leapt up. Panther Dancer went charging into Yuri.
"Damnit… I thought Serena would like my help?! A win against me would give her a good chance to reach Ra Yellow, why doesn't she appreciate this?!" Yuri thought with an angry tone. "I'll let her beat me anywa-" Yuri looked at the attack and his lifepoints. "No… I must… let her win!"
"Come on Yuri, give into your desires." Sora thought with a grin on his face.
"I play my Trap!" Yuri shouted as he couldn't stand to see himself lose. "Go Predator Germination! I can Special Summon three Predaplant Tokens! Three small dark seed monsters appeared. They had green lips. All three were in defence.
Predaplant Token X 3 ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Dark/Plant/Token/LVL 1
"I see you're finally battling!" Serena replied as Panther hit a Token. "Panther can attack all monsters you control twice and the first time, it's not destroyed and it gains 200 attack for each monster it destroys until the end phase." Panther hit all three at the same speed and eventually all three had fallen with Panther returning to her normal attack as Serena ended her turn.
"I'll teach you for not accepting my gift!" Yuri yelled.
"I don't need your help!"
Turn 5
Yuri LP: 3400 Hand: 3
Serena LP: 2000 Hand: 0
"I draw and now I play Predapruning! This brings back a Predaplant from my graveyard and this Spell is equipped to it! Return Chimerafflesia!"
Predaplant Chimerafflesia ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Dark/Plant/Fusion/LVL 7
"And this is game over." thought Sora. "Yuri would never release his inner dragon against Serena, no matter how much anger there is between the two. This will teach them a big lesson."
"I summon Predaplant Flytrap!" A nasty green plant came to the field with a wide open mouth and two hands.
Predaplant Flytrap ATK: 400 DEF: 800 Dark/Plant/LVL 2
"His effect! Once per turn, I can place a Predator Counter on your monster and if it has a level higher then two, it becomes one!" A green seed with jaws bit down onto Panther.
Panther LVL: 1
"At least you're now trying!" yelled Serena.
"I can Special Summon Predaplant Drosophyllum Hydra from my graveyard by tributing a monster on the field with a Predator Counter, on any side of the field!"
"My monster!" said a surprised Serena as her Panther Dancer disappeared and a giant green plant with numerous tentacles appeared. It had purple gems going across each tentacle and it had three gems for eyes with a vicious mouth filled with nasty, sharp teeth.
Predaplant Drosophyllum Hydra ATK: 800 DEF: 2300 Dark/Plant/LVL 5
"I Fusion Summon with my Polymerization!" As Yuri posed, he could see Starving Venom roaring in his mind. "No…. not you, I can't use you here, you're too dangerous to use against her!"
"You fool!" The dragon spoke to Yuri in his mind but Yuri rejected it.
"Not Serena!" he yelled, this peaked Sora's interest. "I Fusion Summon, my Predaplant Dragostapelia! This needs a Fusion Monster and a Dark Monster!" A small, green but spiky dragon appeared. He had dark, purple wings with green scales going around his body. It had small plant bulbs at the end of its wings.
Predaplant Dragostapelia ATK: 2700 DEF: 1900 Dark/Plant/Fusion/LVL 8
"He didn't summon his dragon?" questioned Sora.
"Now end this Dragostapelia, attack Serena directly!" The monster unleashed plant like tentacles from its wings and slashed Serena across the chest. She was knocked back but the chains stopped her from flying further.
Serena LP: 2000 – 0 Yuri Wins
As Serena landed on the floor, the zapping hit her once more. Yuri could only watch as he saw Serena screaming in pain right before him. Seconds later, the Real Solid Vision disappeared and so did the chains. Serena fell to the floor and Yuri quickly ran to her. Serena was now on the floor, and not moving.
"Serena?!" he yelled. "Serena?!" Yuri reached Serena and found that she had been knocked out. Sora in the stands placed another lollipop in his mouth and walked out.
Hospital Wing
Inside the Academia Hospital, Yuri entered through the sliding doors and saw Serena in a gown and in a bed. She was still out of it but was in a stable condition.
Yuri walked in and saw a nurse who wore a white jacket with a pink shirt and brown boots at a desk. She wore a name tag with the name "Emi Ayukawa." He walked up to her.
"Is this girl going to be ok?" Yuri said.
"Yes, she should be. She's sleeping at the minute." replied the nurse. Yuri turned his back on her, and then walked next to Serena's bed.
"I'm not very good at these things but…. come back Serena." Yuri said. Serena opened one eye at Yuri.
"I'm not dead you idiot." Serena replied as she woke up. Yuri was caught out.
"I didn't think that…. anyway, I'm sorry for what I did." Yuri said.
"Me too, but that punishment was brutal… it bought back those horrible memories I have…." Serena replied.
"Well the Professor thought it was best." said Yuri.
"Yes, and we owe everything to him for taking us out of the orphanage and for opening our eyes. If he thought this was right for us, then it was." Serena responded.
Throne Room
"Interesting." said Leo as he had just finished watching the duel on his holoscreen and Sora was kneeling before him who had also given his report to Leo. "So let me get this right, you think Yuri was talking to his inner-dragon?"
"Yes sir." replied Sora.
"This is something I didn't know... I shall keep it in mind, dismissed."
"Thank you sir." Sora left the throne room as Leo looked on.
"My XYZ dragon is now missing and no-one has found him yet in XYZ, maybe he went to Standard with that girl Mina?" Leo stood up and Edo appeared on a screen. "Commander Edo!"
"Yes sir?" replied Edo.
"Take your troops back to Standard and try and break through that dome my son built. Reiji is now crossing dimensions so Standard is vulnerable."
"Of course." Edo answered as the screen disappeared. Leo stood up and begun to walk out of the throne room. He had somewhere to be.
Laboratory
Leo walked in to the Laboratory's viewing gallery which was high enough to see the whole floor below. There alongside him was his wife Himika.
Leo looked out through the glass and on the same table as Serena three years before, was Reira suffering the same treatment. Leo turned to Himika.
"So you're doing the same thing to the kid?" asked Leo.
"Yeah you told me about how you did the same thing to that Serena girl and I thought it was the correct move for Reira as well." replied Himika.
"Well I trust your judgement on this kid." Leo stated. "If she fails, you fail."
"Don't worry Leo, she won't fail, the plan is fool-proof. She's an empty shell and came from the same orphanage as Yuri and Serena; it'll work for her as well."
"I trust you on this; Serena was a different case though. She and Yuri were both bad tempered kids but both were happy and kind enough with each other to bail the other out of trouble, which is why I had to break the two of them to serve my wishes." Leo replied.
"Yes you told me. You had to convince Yuri that the whole world hated him because of his power while Serena…."
"Serena may have had a bad temper but she had a heart of gold, I needed to give her the anger Yuri had from the start. I had to shock the goodness out of her with horrible, vivid images. Enough to break anyone." replied Leo. "Along with keeping her locked up most of her time here, she soon became anti-social girl I now know."
"And it worked. They trust you and they're none the wiser." said Himika with a smirk afterwards. The two looked on as Reira suffered shocks from Cobra, Reira screaming each time.
"I gained word from Dennis, Reiji has broken up these Lancers into two groups, I think it's time we used the puppet from Standard." Leo said.
"Leave it to me." Himika replied as she walked off.
Throne Room
Himika stood on the platform where Leo's throne was placed. There before her was Masumi who had her Academia Duel Disk on.
"Reiji, Yuzu, Gongenzaka and Mieru are all people you know about, correct?"
"Yes." Masumi replied.
"Well they are in Ritual, the same place I want you to go to. From what we know about this "Domino City", it's that it is an old fashioned dimension without duel disks, you'll change that." Himika said as she handed Masumi a suitcase from behind her.
"And about the Lancers?"
"Card the weak ones, including Reiji. You beat Yuzu before so you can beat her again, and once again take the bracelet!"
"Yes Mrs Akaba." replied Masumi with empty eyes. Himika smirked.
Green Hill – Unknown Location
A blue portal opened up above a big, grassy hill and two males were chucked out of it at a fast pace before landing on the floor. The two males were Yuya and Yugo who had been sent to this unknown place thanks to Yuri.
Yuya slowly arose from the floor while Yugo remained on the ground with his eyes spinning.
"I'm never doing that agai…" As Yugo spoke, his D-Wheel came flying through and landed on the poor boy. Yugo leapt up in pain. "What did I do to deserve this?! As the two slowly got back to their senses, they looked at each other.
"Yugo?" Yuya asked.
"That's me…. hang on why are you here? Hang on… where is here?!" Yugo replied.
"That Yuri guy must hav, e sent us here, and I don't know." Yuya said looking around. "Do you thin-" As Yuya was speaking, he could see Yugo looking high into the air. "What is it?"
"I know this place…." Yuya looked up and saw a huge City high in the sky.
"What on earth is that?!" Yuya said with surprise.
"This is City… my home."
"Your home?! You mean this… this is the Synchro Dimension?!"
A/N: So… how many easter eggs did you see? :P Thanks for all new favs/follows/ etc. Also, 50 chapters!
So Yuri and Serena were "good" because they had each other, unlike the anime. Of course Leo opted to change all this… next time, hello Ritual!
Marina is another OC thanks to Romadrox8975. She's another very clever person who'll soon appear .
ThePLOThand – Reira will use C/C/C's yes.
Royal2 – I hope this answered your question :P, always planned for Yuya/Yugo to reappear around this stage.
Tobias – Thanks as ever.
O.C New Card
