Inside Mina's laboratory, Mina was up and moving despite having taken a beating by the awakened Yuri. She was wearing her purple shirt and looking at her yellow duel disks screen.
"This is amazing." she thought. "All this data gathered will really help along with the research I did at Academia."
Mina turned around and there on the table was a bulky male on her table who had wires attached to his bare chest, Mina's face looked annoyed.
"I could analyse this data and finally begin my quest but Jean needs this guy built for some reason…. I have other things I need to do, not build some freak show!" A holoscreen appeared with Roget on it. "What do you want Jean?"
"I want an update on Sergey." Roget replied.
"He's nearly done."
"Nearly isn't good enough." Roget replied sternly.
"What is he for anyway?" Mina questioned.
"None of your business, now have Sergey ready by tomorrow." Roget's screen disappeared. Mina looked at the body and then a toolbox next to him. Mina sighed.
Rin Ruka Tsukikage
Ruka had just beaten Tsukikage and this was now her chance to talk it out with the two Lancers.
"Miss Rin, this girl is trouble." Tsukikage added.
"No, I don't think she is." Rin replied. "I saw that dragon and something just gave me a feeling that we should listen to her."
"Please." Ruka begged to Tsukikage who remained paranoid as his training was all about protecting his own team.
"Very well." said then ninja as he turned his back on Ruka while still listening.
"Start by telling us the truth." Rin said. "No details left out."
"Fine. First of all, my name is Ruka and I was born in the Tops but before you get any bad ideas, I aim to help all the good people in Commons and Tops who have been mistreated."
"But that's impossible!" Rin replied. "Getting between Tops and Commons is hard enough once but you move between both freely?!"
"Well… I have a system in place. As you probably know all entrants into Commons are guarded via computers, I can summon a bit of help."
"What do you mean?!"
"Sigh, since I'm going to tell you two, I had better tell the other two." Ruka said. "Follow me."
"You mean… Yugo? Yugo is here?!"
"And his friend Yuya, yes, now come with me." Tsukikage looked at Rin, he knew what Rin wanted.
Ruka's Safe Zone
"Ringo had better be safe!" said Yugo as he punched one of metal containers which housed people.
"Hey Yugo… I'm sure Ruka is looking after it, she's been great for us so far." Yuya replied.
"You don't know Commons like I do though Yuya. We've had to learn the hard way." As Yugo spoke, he saw the gate open up and the two boys took a cautious stance. "Who's there?!"
The gate opened and there was Ruka in her hoodie coming in. The boys looked relieved.
"Did you take my D-Wheel to Tops?" Yugo said.
"Well… I ran into a face you might know." Ruka replied. Yugo looked at the gate and saw the white boots of Rin walk in. Yugo's face lit up.
"R.. Ri…. RIN!" Yugo saw Rin and leapt at her with open arms. Rin didn't have time to take in seeing Yugo again as he was coming directly at her.
"NOT AGAIN!" Rin moved to the side and Yugo ended up running into the gate face first.
"I…. missed you… Rin." Yugo slid down and landed on his back.
"Really Yugo, you're so embarrassing." Yugo got up and saw Rin.
"It really is you!" Yugo this time embraced Rin which took her by surprise but it was a welcome one. Rin embraced Yugo.
"And I missed you too Yugo." Rin said as the two looked at each other. Rin noticed Yuya.
"Yuya! You really are here!"
"Yeah, hi Rin."
"It's good to see you as well." Rin had walked up to Yuya. "I'm so glad you're safe." Rin immediately hugged Yuya, right in front of Yugo. Yugo's mouth dropped.
"H…bu…wh…hu..hu…." Yugo babbled.
"How's Yuzu, where are they?!" Yuya quickly asked.
"It's a long story." Rin replied.
An Hour Later
Rin had spent the last hour explaining to the boys and Ruka about everything and they all looked quite surprised. Tsukikage remained silent.
"So Reiji has separated his new Lancers across dimensions and Yuzu is in Ritual?" Yuya said.
"Yeah, we should communicate with Reiji; he installed many new things into our duel disks, including a teleport feature." Rin said.
"I can see Yuzu?!" Yuya said with a bright smile.
"Yeah but if we use it, it would need to recharge for a few days." Rin replied.
"Security could be monitoring this area, I wouldn't use it. Especially since they've been able to track down your friends. " Ruka said.
"My friends?! What?!" said a shocked Rin.
"Oh, Security caught that Dennis friend of yours, I have no doubt that they would have moved towards the Orphanage now."
"No Martha!" Rin yelled.
"Ruka said she has a plan." Yuya said.
"Yeah, I can get them out but the important thing is to get you three to safety. I can sense your importance." Ruka replied.
"You said you would tell us everything." Tsukikage said as he leaned against the wall.
"Yeah, I was born in the Tops along with my brother, Lua. He's a professional D-Wheeler overseas while I opted to remain here and try and stop the division between Tops and Commons."
"You share our goal?" Yugo said.
"Yes, believe or not but not all Tops are bad people." Ruka jokingly replied.
"But…. what about that thing you don't like to talk about?" Yuya asked.
"Ok." Ruka said. "The reason I haven't told anyone is that this "thing" I have is…. well it's not something I can just talk about to anyone. Only Lua knows and since he's gone, I haven't spoken about it. But when you two arrived, I could sense something which meant I had to act." Ruka looked at Yuya and Yugo.
"Sense?" Both boys said.
"I can sense duel spirits. The spirits which live in cards."
"Duel….. spirits?!" Rin, Yugo and Yuya all said on once in shock.
"Just hear me out." Ruka explained. "I've always been able to sense cards and as I got older, I was able to sense these living duel spirits within cards. A person and their deck are closely connected and I sense a great deal from your three decks."
"So that's how you knew I came from another world?" Yuya said.
"Yes, I can feel your deck has come a long way and…. it has an ancient past."
"Ancient past…" Yuya muttered. "I've heard about that before… from Reiji. It's the reason Academia wants us, Yugo."
"Nonsense!" Yugo yelled. "Duel spirits? And I thought I was the idiot!"
"It's fine, I understand that you might not believe it. It is a tall tale after all." Ruka replied.
"Hang on Yugo; I remember seeing visions back in Standard. Me and Yuzu who had them and we saw a battle… a battle with dragons and some angels of some kind. There's truth to this! She did sense about me coming from another world and Ruka doesn't seem to be on the side of Security."
"Yes and I saw some visions which were similar when I dueled that Fusion girl Serena!" Rin said. "This is real Yugo."
"Come to think of it…." Yugo put finger on his chin as he thought. "We did create a Pendulum…"
"Pendulum?!" Rin said as she looked at Yuya. "What does he mean?"
"And I can now Synchro Summon." Yuya replied.
"I guess I've missed a lot." Rin said still in surprise. "How?!"
"It's quite a blur to us Rin, but we dueled that purple boy who looked like us together and just then we gained the ability of each other's summoning methods." Yuya responded. "And I think we went into some state… a state you told us about before. I barely remember though. "
"That state? The state of when you went angry, back in Standard when you dueled each other? That one Yugo?"
"I barely remember anything." Yugo said.
"What's new…." Rin replied in humour. "But Yuya, you recall it?"
"It was like an incoming rush of burning pain. I had remembered that feeling from before and somehow I was more aware of it. I guess I was able to resist it or something."
"That's exactly what I saw when you and Yugo dueled each other." Rin replied. "This has to be all connected as mine and Yuzu's bracelets stopped it last time…. but how did you end up here?!"
"That Fusion user sent us here mid-duel." Yugo said. "What a loser."
"Well you two are safe, thanks to you, Ruka." said Rin.
"No problem." she replied.
"But if you do have this power…. how did you get it?" Yugo asked.
"I've always had this power, I really don't know." Ruka explained.
"You said you could "summon a bit of help." Rin said. "What did you mean?"
"Real Solid Vision gives monsters mass, a real body but what people don't know is that when you summon a monster, you summon its spirit. I can call upon a monster with Real Solid Vision to use them to their full potential; I was my monsters to get between Tops and Commons. I can communicate with them directly."
"No way!" Yugo said as he got out his deck. "
"Our monsters have all been real from the start?" Yuya added.
"Yes and thankfully your decks tell me you've all treated them very well." Ruka replied. "Now we need to get out of here and into Tops."
"But how?" Yuya asked.
Security HQ – Roget Office
Roget looked at his screen as he watched Mina continue to work on Sergey. She was placing an eye into his eye socket.
"Sergey is one of many pawns which I've been planning to use. Mina appearing could well be the lucky break I needed." Roget thought. A man appeared on a holoscreen.
"Director." said the man.
"What is it?"
"After looking for the girl with the bracelet and her known associates, we scrambled Commons area for all communication and we picked up a signal who tried to contact the co-ordinates you gave us. We've arrested one."
"WHO?!" Roget said as he leapt up from his seat.
"He is refusing to speak but he has orange frizzy hair."
"So not the girl…. it's that boy, I have a feeling I've seen him before…." Thought Roget as the holoscreen went off. Roget opened up another holoscreen and begun to type on his keyboard. His eyes shifted left and right and they sprung wide open. "It's him! Leo's right hand man! Academia might have tracking software on his duel disk….! This isn't good…." Roget pushed a button. "Mina, I need you now."
20 Minutes Later
"Well this is annoying." said Dennis as he was being lead down by officers with a blindfold on. He was being lead down the Security hallway towards Roget's office. An officer held his duel disk.
Mina was at the door and the officer handed her his duel disk. The officers then pushed Dennis into the officer and Mina entered next. The doors shut as Dennis was left wondering where he was within the silent room.
Mina took the duel disk apart and analyzed it. There was a blinking red light on. She took a screwdriver and picked it off.
"Done. Academia did have a tracker but it's stopped now." Mina said.
"What about any information fed to them?" Roget replied.
"I can place another chip into the duel disk which would wipe out all the data back at Academia and it would also act as nothing has happened." Mina said. "I'll get to work on it." Mina took the duel disk and went off. Dennis laughed.
"Roget you snake." Dennis said.
"Quiet you!" Roget replied. "You're not getting back home! So Leo sent you undercover eh? Who are those people?"
"I'm telling you nothing." Dennis said.
"Fine, I shall extract the information from you." Roget said with a smirk. He then pushed a button. "Keep searching for the girl and the others, they can't be far from where we picked this rat up."
Arcadia
Euridice in her long black dress was in her office with royal red on the walls. She had fancy wooden desk. She had a golden telephone on the desk and it rung. She picked it up.
"Lady Divine, we have picked up intel from the mind readers. They have sensed that Security have a person of high interest."
"Is it a Physic?" she replied.
"No clue but they seem very interested."
"Ok, thank you, I shall send Aki." said Euridice as she hung up.
Ruka
Everyone except Tsukikage was walking along Commons. Yugo was pushing his D-Wheel while Tsukikage was leaping from building to building, checking that Security didn't follow them.
"We're out in plain sight, isn't this a bad idea?" Yuya asked.
"Remember CCTV is all but broken in Commons." Rin replied.
"Yeah and our window is shrinking." Ruka said. "I wanted to get you all out of here one by one but since we had to detour away, we have to cross all at once."
A little while late the group had reached the crossing between sections. It was a white sloped bridge which connected a main highway. Many blue lasers were blocking the path and many CCTV cameras were spotted around the path. Security wanted no one to get in to Tops.
"This is the path to Tops?" said Yuya. "But when me and Yugo escaped, the connection road was only guarded by a Security officer and we jumped over him?"
"Security has been slowly updating their defences, no chance to jump over this one and the next connection road is too far and risky." Ruka explained. Tsukikage then appeared behind the group.
"Then how do we get through?" the ninja asked.
"Security do a routine patrol of this area in ten minutes, we have to get through without alerting anything or anyone before then." Ruka explained.
"And how is that done?"
"Just watch." Ruka said. Ruka took her deck out of her pocket and took a card. "I need your help Morphtronic Magnen!" Ruka placed the card onto her duel disk which had activated and blue magnet robot appeared.
"pzzt pzzt"
"Magnen, can you discharge the lasers please." The rest of the group looked in surprise as Magnen was responding to Ruka as it appeared to be nodding to her. Real Solid Vision allows duelists to use their monsters but this was different, there was communication between the two.
"pzzt pzzt" Magnen disappeared and changed into a light beam. The light beam shot under the bridge and into a closed case which contained the wiring. It bounced around inside and the lasers, one by one, faded.
As the lasers all faded Magen shot back into the card and Ruka held it up. "Thank you Magnen and Lua."
"Amazing…." said Rin. Even Tsukikage was shocked.
"We have to go, Security will be here." Ruka said as Yugo mounted his D-Wheel.
"Rin get on." said Yugo. Rin's pink helmet appeared from under the seat and Rin looked at Yuya.
"No let Yuya take it." she said.
"Whatever we need to go!" shouted an inpatient Ruka.
"YOU'RE ALL GOING NOWHERE!"
The group looked around and saw a group of many Security officers on the buildings aiming at them with their gun nets.
"WHAT?!" said Tsukikage. "Impossible, they weren't there?!"
"We were!" said one. "We have some new toys to use thanks to a new friend at Security! We were invisible! "
"New friend?" Rin said.
"Just go! I'll distract them!" said Tsukikage as he was about to disappear. But before he could, all the officers fired their nets over them all and trapped them.
"NO!" yelled Yugo.
"GET OFF!" Rin shouted.
"Damnit!" Yuya yelled. "RUKA!"
"How could they have known?!" Ruka replied.
"Easy! We have invisible drones!" Security officer said as several green drones appeared above them.
"This is… new for these dimwits." Yugo said as he tried to free himself.
"How… how could I have let this happen?!" Tsukikage said to himself.
"It's not your fault Tsukikage." Rin replied. "It's no one's fault." The officers leapt down and smirked. As they approached a voice bellowed out from above.
"THEY'RE OURS!"
The officers looked around and saw a figure standing on a building. It was Aki in a red clothes and with her hand on her side.
"Black Rose Witch!" said an officer.
"It's…. it's her! The psychic duelist!" yelled Yugo.
"Go!" Aki yelled as she played a card on her red duel disk blade and vines from the floor shot up , throwing the Security officers into the sky. They all screamed as they were sent up and while they were falling back down.
"We can't lose them!" said an officer. "Go Jutte Lord!" A samurai was summoned from all their duel disks and leapt forward to Aki.
"Fools, you might have monsters made with mass, but I have the power to double that and inflict serve pain! Go Black Rose Moonlight Dragon!" Aki's Synchro Monster appeared high in the sky and rained down red feathers which shot down like bullets, each one destroying a Jutte Lord. Security officers were sent flying once more.
"Get them out of here!" said a Security officer. One by one each officer tried to press a button on their wrists. Aki saw this and ordered Black Rose to hit them once more.
The feathers struck and sent all but one officer flying. The last remaining one hit his watch and he along with Rin as well as the net, disappeared.
"RIN!" Yugo yelled.
"No…." said Yuya with shock. He saw Aki jump down and land on the ground as she walked towards the trapped group in the nets.
"You're all Arcadia's now." she said with a smug tone.
Roget Office
"ARCADIA APPEARED?! THOSE SNAKES!" Roget banged his fist down onto the chess board. Mina was behind him.
"Well you've got one of the angels thanks to my quick inventions." Mina replied.
"That is true but now they have two of the dragons…..!"
"And my chances of experimenting on them all as well… but, I always have an ace up my sleeve."
"And what does that mean?!" Roget said.
"When you arrested me…. I got arrested on purpose. I had the XYZ dragon and angel with me!"
"And you mention this now?!"
"Well I guess I forgot…." said Mina as she played with her hair with her back turned and a smirk on her face. Roget looked like he was about to explode.
"Well I presume they're not far?"
"Well I had to lose them for me to get here, and there's no way that they would teleport away from this dimension as I saved the XYZ dragon back in Academia. All I need to do is to activate a signal I placed in Yuto's duel disk. When I retrieved from Academia I placed it in there before saving him. It's so small that not even their tech expert could see it. See Jean, I always have a plan."
"Fine." said Roget. "But we should bring them in quickly."
"Perfect time to test out Sergey." Mina replied.
Laboratory
Mina entered the laboratory and there was Sergey still flat out on the table. Mina looked at him and then hit a remote. Sergey robotically leaned up his left eye glowed red.
"Now Sergey, I have a mission for you."
A/N Thank you Guest for the review.
