Kaiba and Masumi were sat in Kaiba's office and the Standard duel disk was on his desk. Kaiba looked at it with his hands clenched. Kisara was stood beside him with a file in hand.

"So this technology gives holograms mass….? They become touchable?!" Kaiba said.

"That's correct Mr Kaiba." Masumi smugly spoke.

"Right… so the most important question… how did you get your hands on this technology? How did you know about my duel disk prototype, it was an important secret?! Not even my lower staff knew, they only knew about a rumoured prototype of some kind hence the rumours but only a select few knew about the actual duel disk!"

"This is what Mr Kaiba is referring to." said Kisara. She took out various pictures and laid them in front of the Masumi on the table. One picture had a glass box with a table and chairs inside labelled "Battle Box" while another was a round, red disk which had a long wire connected to a human wrist. Masumi looked at all the photos.

"Wow… this stuff is ancient." Masumi, who was still smug, replied.

"Ok, time for the vital question… where do you come from? No one in Japan would have this tech!"

"I too come from Japan." Masumi replied. "But my Japan…. is from another dimension…. a dimension where dueling technology is vastly superior!"

"Another dimension?!" Kaiba replied with shock.

"Don't be ludicrous!" Kisara added.

"Next thing you'll tell me is that there are aliens! Don't waste my time!"

"I don't know about aliens Mr Kaiba, but I can reassure you that what I speak is the truth and nothing but." Masumi replied.

"Mr Kaiba…" Kisara said while turning. "Let's get this girl out of here, I shall call secru-" Kaiba grabbed Kisara's arm as she was about to walk and get help.

"No need Kisara." Kaiba replied.

"But Se-"

"No need." Kaiba said as he let go. "I shall see her out personally." Kaiba stood up in an intimidating manner.

"Wait Mr Kaiba." Masumi said. "What if I could prove it, right here, right now? You do need my help to use this technology as well….!"

"I'll figure it out eventually… and fine. You have thirty-seconds."

"More than enough time." Masumi held up her Academia duel disk and went into the dimension travel menu. "Now hold onto me."

"You what?" said a surprised Kaiba.

"Just hold onto my shoulder…. you'll find it's in your interest."

"Mr Kaiba will not do such a thing… he is a busy ma-" Kisara said, however Kaiba walked over to Masumi and placed his hand on her. Kisara gritted her teeth and reluctantly placed her hand onto Masumi.

"I don't know if I should be worried or freaked out…." said Kaiba to himself. Masumi pushed a button and the three disappeared in a purple aura.

A few seconds passed and they suddenly came back. Kisara and Kaiba looked in shock and slightly off-balance.

"What on earth was that?! Mind tricks?!" Kaiba yelled.

"I… feel dizzy…" Kisara replied.

"That was the Fusion Dimension… my home." Masumi lied. "That was Academia, the school I represent… now, do you believe me?"

Hour Later – Kaiba Office

Kaiba was sat and still in shock. He looked at Masumi's duel disk on his desk.

"Did… did I travel to another dimension?! Is that girl right?! I'll need to get answers before I let her in to my trust…" Kaiba picked up the phone and dialled a number. "It's me. Contact those two freaks who are available to hire… I have a job for them."

A little while later, two men appeared before Kaiba. Both were bold and each one wore a similar robe. One wore orange while the other wore green. Kaiba was at his desk.

"So… you're at the famous… Labyrinth Brothers?" Kaiba said while reading a business card.

"No Mr Kaiba, that is outdated." the orange male said. "My name is Para.

"And my name is Dox." said the green. "We thought the name Paradox Brothers would be more apt."

"I didn't ask for your real names." Kaiba said. "Can you find more about these…. people." Kaiba placed an image onto the desk and it was a picture of the Ritual Lancer team from CCTV footage of Reiji's duel V Yuzar.

"We shall, Mr Kaiba." Para said.

"For the right fee of course." Dox added.

"Money is no issue. Go and bring them two to me for questioning, I will pay any amount you wish, as long as you do the job and do it above board!"

"Above… board?" Dox asked.

"I have a proud company here… I don't wish to bring its name into the mud because of people who use less then legal measures." Kaiba added.

"Are you implying something, Mr Kaiba?" Para asked.

"All I know is that your track record is good…. very good. Not one loss in your entire history and you've also been linked to numerous… let's say, bad deeds in the past." Kaiba replied.

"All which are no true, Mr Kaiba." Dox responded. "You can trust us."

"I hope so too, because if you don't, I shall send you down through my trap-door." The two looked at each other and then laughed.

"A very good joke Mr Kaiba." Para said.

"Just go." Kaiba replied, now annoyed.

Hills

Ray continued to run as Gongenzaka and Mieru followed. They were in an empty, grassy field with trees and no one else around.

"Ray… please wait!" Gongenzaka yelled. Mieru was chasing, trying to prove her worth.

"Please stop!" Mieru added.

"Leave me alone!" Ray yelled back. Ray ran up a hill and towards a tall tree. Gongenzaka and Mieru collapsed to the floor, needing rest.

As Ray ran over, she looked down from the hill and smirked, having got away. As she turned, she saw Para and Dox standing behind, smirking.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ray screamed, Gongenzaka and Mieru heard the sound and ran up.

The two arrived and saw Ray strapped to the tree with a red beam trapping her to the tree. She had a white gag over her mouth to stop her from talking. They saw the smirking Paradox Brothers.

"Who are you?!" Gongenzaka said.

"We're the Paradox Brothers." Para said.

"We found you via the CCTV camera's we were given access too, and followed you. You see you two are needed for questioning." Dox said.

"Questioning?! By who?!" Meiru said back.

"Our employee, that's all we can." Para said. "If you wish to free the girl, duel us and beat us to free her. If we beat you in a duel however, you'll come with us!"

"We will do no such thing!" Gongenzaka replied.

"So you won't save the girl?" Dox smugly replied.

"Fine." Gongenzaka said.

"Good. Now let us use this!" Para dropped a black cube on the floor and before their eyes, a duel arena begun to form from it.

"What on earth…." Gongenzaka said.

"Our employer is very… resourceful." Dox added as the black duel arena had formed.

"Fine, let's duel!" Gongenzaka said.

"We shall tag-team." Para replied.

"I shall duel alongside you then Mieru."

"I… I can't…." Mieru sadly replied. "I'm not good enough…."

"Mieru no you're no-"

"The girl has made her mind up." Dox said. "Now duel us!"

"Wait a sec-"

"NOW! Or the girl shall not be freed!" Para replied.

"Fine." Gongenzaka and the two brothers stood on each end and rose up on their platforms. Gongenzaka got out his deck and shuffled it; the two brothers placed their decks down from their pockets, much to the surprise of Ray who could see the brother's platform.

"If you lose this duel, you'll shocked into a coma." Para said. "Enough for us to take you into questioning! Your friend is already in a coma it seems… of depression!"

"Damn you!" Gongenzaka replied. "Hold on Mieru, I'll win this for us." he thought.

"Our fields and lifepoints will be shared." Dox added.

Turn 1

Para & Dox LP: 4000 Hand: 5 5

Gongenzaka LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"I shall begin!" said Para. "It's a shame that your partner won't help for your sakes!"

"Leave Mieru alone!" Gongenzaka said. "I the man Gongenzaka will stand firm and take you out my way!"

"Let's see! I summon my Gishki Chain!" A green lizard who held a long chain with a blade at the end appeared.

Gishki Chain ATK: 1800 DEF: 1000 Water/Sea Serpent/LVL 4

"When Normal Summoned, I look at the top three cards of my deck, then I can reveal either one Ritual Spell or Monster Card that I drew and add it to my hand."

"Next, my Brother can add the remaining two cards back onto the top of his deck in any order!" added Dox.

"Just go!" Gongenzaka demanded.

"Fine!" Para drew three cards and smirked. "What luck, I drew Evigishki Gustkraken!" Para showed a Ritual Monster. "I add it to my hand and then I place these two cards back onto the top of my deck! Now I play the Ritual Spell Giskhi Aquamirror! I use this to Ritual Summon a monster by tributing monsters from my hand and field, the monsters must equal the total level of my Ritual Monster which is level six! I tribute my level two Gishki Vision!"

"But you just said it needed to hit level six?!" Gongenzaka replied.

"Gishki Vision can be treated as the full cost!" Dox snapped back. A blue jar formed onto the field and a green lizard who wore a blue cape entered it. Now prepare! I Ritual Summon my Evigishki Gustkraken!" A black and golden monster with tentacles appeared.

Evigishki Gustkraken ATK: 2400 DEF: 1000 Water/Aqua/Ritual/LVL 6

"What a beast…" thought Gongenzaka.

"Now I use my Ritual Monsters effect! When Ritual Summoned, I look at two random cards in your hand and then shuffle one of them back into your deck!" Para said.

"Damnit." Gongenzaka showed two cards and Para looked at his duel arenas screen. The two cards were Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei and Trumpeter.

"I shall send that high level monster." Para said. Gongenzaka placed Benkei into his deck and shuffled it with his hands. "I set two cards and end my turn!"

"Finally." Gongenzaka said. "I shall defeat you and take the girl back!" Ray remained tied-up and mouth still gagged against the tree. She continued to shake to escape.

Turn 2

Para & Dox LP: 4000 Hand: 0 5

Gongenzaka LP: 4000 Hand: 4

"I draw!" Gongenzaka drew so fast, a heavy blast of wind was unleashed. "I Normal Summon Superheavy Samurai Magnet!" The monster was a large blue machine with positive and negative battery symbol on each of its hands. It had a large red magnet on his back.

Superheavy Samurai Magnet ATK: 900 DEF: 1900 Earth/Machine/LVL 4

"When Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a Superheavy Samurai level four or below monster from my hand! Appear a second Magnet in defence position!"

Superheavy Samurai Magnet ATK: 900 DEF: 1900 Earth/Machine/LVL 4

"Two of the same monster on the field?" said Dox.

"I end my turn!" Gongenzaka said.

"That's it?!" Para replied. "Useless! Take it away Brother!"

Turn 3

Para & Dox LP: 4000 Hand: 0 5

Gongenzaka LP: 4000 Hand: 3

"Yes I will!" Dox said. "Draw! I summon Gishki Beast!" Gishki Beast emerged and it was a yellow horned, greenserpent.

Gishki Beast ATK: 1500 DEF: 1300 Water/Sea/LVL 4

"Another Gishki?!" Gongenzaka said. "How very unfair….! Using the same deck!"

"We gave you a chance to have a partner!" Para replied. "And she let you down!" Mieru on the sidelines couldn't look up due to her shame.

"Ignore them Mieru!" Gongenzaka said once more.

"I'm… useless…" Mieru said to herself. "I bring nothing to this team."

"When Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a level four or below Gishki from our grave in defence position! Appear Gishki Vision!" Dox said.

Gishki Vision ATK: 700 DEF: 500 Water/Sea Serpent/LVL 2

"I use one of my Traps!" Para said. "Gishki Swim! Dox will draw three cards! For each Gishki Monster drawn, you take 500 points of damage!"

"500 points?!" Gongenzaka yelled.

"Here I go!" Dox drew three cards and smirked. "Well look here, I drew three Gishki Monsters!" Dox revealed his cards and Gongenzaka gritted his teeth as his lifepoint counter dropped.

Gongenzaka LP: 4000 – 2500

"1500 points of damage… shaved off…. Damnit." he thought.

"Now I must reshuffle these cards back into my deck…." Dox said.

"Hang on Brother!" Para replied. "Go my second Trap! Gishki Guardian! Any cards drawn by an effect of a Gishki Card and which are required to return to the deck, can remain in the hand!"

"No way!" Gongenzaka gritted his teeth even harder.

"Why, thank you Brother." Dox replied. "I too use Gishki Aquamirror! I tribute Gishki Vision and it acts as a full tribute! I Ritual Summon, Evigishki Soul Ogre!"A sea creature which stood on two legs with pink and yellow gills emerged.

Evigishki Soul Ogre ATK: 2800 DEF: 2800 Water/Aqua/Ritual/LVL 8

"Now I use Soul Ogre's effect! I can discard a Gishki Monster from my hand and target one face up card you control, and shuffle into your deck!" Dox sent a card to his graveyard.

"No! My Magnet lock!" Soul Ogre unleashed a loud roar which sent the defence positioned Magnet into Gongezaka's deck. "This is getting annoying…." Gongenzaka said to himself.

"Well prepare for me! I play a second Gishki Aquamirror and tribute Gishki Vision and Chain on our field!" Both monsters flew into the jar once more and a second Ritual Monster appeared. To Gongenzaka's surprise, it was another Soul Ogre.

Evigishki Soul Ogre ATK: 2800 DEF: 2800 Water/Aqua/Ritual/LVL 8

"Not again…..!"

"Yes again!" Para said.

"I send another Gishki to my graveyard and take out your second Magnet!" The second Soul Ogre unleashed a loud growl and the second Magnet was destroyed.

"No! Gongenzaka!" said Mieru who had noticed the situation.

"It's… fine Mieru." he replied.

"Not from our position!" Para said.

"Yes! Attack Soul Ogre!" Soul Ogre charged up a powerful beam it its mouth and fired directly at Gongenzaka.

"No!" Mieru said.

"I said it was fine!" Gongenzaka said. "If I'm attacked directly and have no Spells or Traps in my grave, this card can come out to play! Superheavy Samurai Balancer!"A small blue and white robot appeared with yellow scales in his right arm.

Superheavy Samurai Balancer ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Earth/Machine/LVL 1

"What's that?!" Dox said.

"Balancer can banish itself to end the battle phase!" Balancer exploded and the battle phased ended, much to the annoyance of the brothers.

"He survived… for this turn." thought Mieru.

"Balancer has one more effect, if after using its effect, if I control no Spells or Traps in my graveyard, I can draw one card."

"It's useless!" said Dox. "You are up against three Ritual Monsters! You're doomed! Over to you Para!"

"Thank you Brother!" Para replied.

"I set one card and end there!" Dox added.

Turn 4

Para & Dox LP: 4000 Hand: 0 2

Gongenzaka LP: 2500 Hand: 3

"I draw!" Para yelled. "Very nice." he said.

"Hold on Brother." Dox said. "I shall return the favour and give you a gift!"

"What now?!" Gongenzaka said in annoyance.

"Aquamirror Illusion! My brother can Special Summon his recently drawn Ritual Monster to the field! It however returns to the hand at the end of this turn and it can't attack!" Dox added. "A instant Ritual Summon?!"

"Yes!" Para said. "Appear a second Evigishki Gustkraken!"

Evigishki Gustkraken ATK: 2400 DEF: 1000 Water/Aqua/Ritual/LVL 6

"His effect! I look at two random cards in your hand and shuffle one back into the deck!"

"Fine!" Gongenzaka said as he showedTrumpeterand Battleball."

"What's a "Tuner?" asked Para. "No matter, I shuffle it back!" Gongenzaka gritted his teeth and shuffled it back. "I guess I made the correct choice then!"

"This is weird…." said Mieru. "How did he know what his brother drew? This might be a tag duel, but you can't look at your opponent's hand?" Gongenzaka looked at Mieru and looked at the two brothers.

"We're just in tune with each other-"

"-That is all!" Para said first and Dox continued the sentence. "It's purely fate!"

"If there is one thing I've learnt since meeting Yuzu, it's that not everything can be certain! No way can all your plays be "fate"! You're cheating!" Mieru shouted.

"CHEATING?!" Gongenzaka said.

"You have no proof little girl." said Para.

"And even if we were… there's nothing you can do about it!" Dox added.

"If you're cheating…. that is against a duelists code of honour!" Gongenzaka replied.

"As we said… no proof!" Para confidently said. At the tree, Ray continued to watch and by now, had shaken the gag almost out of her mouth. She shook one more time and the gag fell out of her mouth, she let in numerous deep breaths after finally being able to breathe normally.

"THEY'RE CHEATERS!" Ray yelled. Everyone looked at Ray.
"She freed herself!" Para said.

"They didn't shuffle their decks! I saw them!" Ray yelled. "The Paradox Brothers are known as serial cheaters but it's never been proved!"

"I see…." Para said.

"She is annoying….!" Dox said. "Yes we did cheat! But with the payday we will get by beating you two from Mr Kaiba, we will be rich enough to bribe our way out of this! No one will believe any of you once we pay our ways out of this!"

"Damn you!" yelled Gongenzaka.

"I attack with Soul Ogre!" Para commanded.

"I the man Gongenzaka will NOT let this stand! The card I drew from my Balancer… is another Balancer! Appear and end the battle phase!"

"NO!" Balancer was summoned to the field via its own effect.

Superheavy Samurai Balancer ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Earth/Machine/LVL 1

"I banish Balancer to end the battle phase!" The second Balancer exploded and a force field appeared. Soul Ogre was blocked once more.

"I… end my turn." Para said. "You can't beat our Ritual Monsters!"

"But your second Gustkraken returns back to your hand!" Meiru said who was now looking and feeling better. Gustkraken exploded and Para added back to his hand.

"Now I shall show you how a proud duelist stands!" Gongenzaka said. "I draw a card thanks to Balancer!"

"Go get them Gongenzaka!" Mieru cheered.

"These… these people aren't so bad…" thought Ray.

Turn 5

Para & Dox LP: 4000 Hand: 0 2

Gongenzaka LP: 2500 Hand: 2

"I draw!" Gongenzaka looked at his hand. "Perfect, I summon a third Magnet!"

Superheavy Samurai Magnet ATK: 900 DEF: 1900 Earth/Machine/LVL 4

"Now I can Special Summon a level four or below Superheavy Samurai from my hand! Appear Trumpeter!"

Superheavy Samurai Trumpeter ATK: 300 DEF: 600 Earth/Machine/Tuner/LVL 2

"I Synchro Summon!"

"Synchro Summon?!" said the two brothers at once.

"Trumpeter tunes Magnet!" Trumpeter flew up and became green rings. Magnet followed through.

4+2=6

"I Synchro Summon level six, Superheavy Samurai Ogre Shutendoji!" A giant red ogre with golden armour appeared. He held a big club. It appeared in defence position.

Superheavy Samurai Ogre Shutendoji ATK: 500 DEF: 2500 Earth/Machine/Synchro/LVL 6

"Next I use my third card! Superheavy Samurai Cracked Amour! If I control a face up Superheavy Samuari in defence position, I can equip this to one of your monsters! It loses all its attack points! I equip this onto a Soul Ogre!"Cracked amour appeared onto Soul Ogre.

Soul Ogre ATK: 0

"Makes no difference! You can't beat us!" Para said.

"Not yet! Go Shutendoji! He can attack in defence postion!"

"What?!" said the two once again. Shutenjoji leapt forward and destroyed the monster. Para and Dox watched with annoyance as they lost lifepoints.

Para & Dox LP: 4000 – 1500

"And you call us cheaters!" Para said.

"No matter…. we will take down your weird summoning method and cards with our other Soul Ogre!"

"No you won't." Mieru had got her duel disk out. Mieru leapt onto the duel arena platform from the ground, surprising Gongenzaka.

Intrusion Penalty – 2000 LP

Para & Dox LP: 1500 Hand: 0 2

Gongenzaka LP: 2500 Hand: 0

Mieru LP: 2000 Hand: 5

Mieru's duel disk shocked her as she entered the duel, much to the shock of Ray.

"What are you doing Mieru?" Gongenzaka asked.

"Helping the team! I'm sorry for being late!"

"Intrusion Penalty…. who are these people?! What is that machine on your arm?!" Para asked.

"It makes no difference to you cheats! I draw! I play Prediction Ritual I tribute one Prediction Princess Tarotrei from my hand to Ritual Summon another Tarotrei!"

"You what?!" Dox said. A black jar formed on the field and the first Tarotrei flew in.

""Priestess of ancient times who foresees everything! With the ancient description, now, be revived! Ritual Summon! Level nine! Prediction Princess Tarotrei!" A giant female monster in a purple dress appeared. She had a moving card pattern on her dress.

Prediction Princess Tarotrei ATK: 2700 DEF: 1200 Light/Fairy/Ritual/LVL 9

"Next I play this Spell! An Equip Spell to be exact! Princess Fortune!" Tarotrei gained a blue book to hold. "When she attacks, the monster it attacks has its attack points halved! And my monster gains 500 more attack from the get-go!"

Tarotrei ATK: 3200

"I attack Gustkraken! "END THIS!" Mieru yelled as Tarotrei launched a blue beam from the book and it slashed through Kraken.

Kraken ATK: 1200

The Paradox Brothers could only watch as their monster fell.

"NOT!"

"FAIR!" the two yelled. Their lifepoints dropped to zero and both brothers fell to their knees on the duel arena, Mieru and Gongenzaka high-fived.

Paradox LP: 1200 – 0 Gongenzaka and Mieru Wins

"Now… we're not going to get paid!" Para said, with tears coming down his face. In the background, Ray's restraint has faded following their win and she slowly watched from a far.

"Mr Kaiba… will still pay us if we capture these two!" Dox replied. Both leapt up and ran across the duel arena field, much to the shock of the Lancers. However, as they ran, the two brothers felt a strange feeling go through their bodies.

"NO ENTERING THE DUEL ARENA – NO ENTERING THE DUEL ARENA"

"Not this!" the two said. The two were electrocuted at a high voltage; they quickly leapt into the air and ran off, with their clothes smoking from the shock. Mieru and Gongenzaka looked at each other and laughed. They then looked towards Ray who slightly smiled at them.

Kaiba Corp – Office

Para and Dox were now in the office and Kaiba was still sat. Two guards blocked the door

"Mr Kaiba… I'm so so sorry!" Para said.

"Please give us another chance." Dox added.

"You want me to give you another chance? You failed and not only that…. you cheated!" Kaiba stood up and slammed his hands onto his desk. "Thankfully there was no CCTV around you but you still used my equipment… with my own personal CCTV… for your cheating needs!"

"You gave us access to CCTV and a duel arena which could shock people?!" Dox replied.

"I never asked you to set it to electrocute anyone, also that CCTV is from the official police. I was given access to it to monitor my technology across Domino; I'm allowed to do such things!" Kaiba replied.

"So… we're fired?" Para said.

"Well it looks like you do have some brains after all." Kaiba added. He pushed a button under his desk and the floor opened up. The brothers fell down through the trap door. Kaiba walked over to it. "Plus I wasn't joking about the trap door." he replied firmly. "Get those two out of here." Kaiba said to a guard. "Let's hope for their sakes there is a pillow down there or something…." The trap door closed and Kaiba looked out from his office.

Yuzar Yuzu – Forest

Yuzar and Yuzu looked at each other as Yuzu's bracelet was glowing.

"What does it mean?" Yuzar asked.

"It could mean…. trouble." Yuzu replied.

A/N

So yeah, bought in Para and Dox. Using their dub names as well... I think there kinda more known, I did do a hint of their original name though.

As to why they cheat? Well, they just did :P Plus it allowed Mieru to feel her place.

O.C Cards

Gongenzaka

Superheavy Samurai Balancer ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Earth/Machine/LVL

If there are no Spells/Traps in your graveyard and you are attacked directly, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.

You can banish this card (Quick Effect) and end the current battle phase. If there are no Spells/Traps in your graveyard, after banishing this card via this effect, draw one card.
