Masumi was in her office and had just hacked into Kaiba Corp's mainframe; she now had full control of it. She watched the CCTV footage of the Lancers in Kaiba's office. Inside, Reiji was looking at the chip which had been installed in the new Kaiba Corp duel disk.

"I'm not going to let any of you stop this plan." Masumi thought. "Time for a bit of fun."

Office

"Masumi…. she's here?" questioned Yuzu. "That Edo guy said to me that she was brainwashed along with Sora…. Damnit."

"Well it's not her fault but we have to deal with her." Mieru replied.

"She's a very skilled duelist who beat me before to get my bracelet; this won't be easy with Academia behind her now." Yuzu replied.

"Hang on?! This girl is the enemy?!" Kisara said in shock.

"It's a long story but yes." Reiji said. "Call your husband up and I can prove it to him in a calm manner."

"No he's not my hu-"

"Just do it!" Reiji yelled to her which shocked her.

A minute later Kaiba came into the office in an annoyed manner.

"What is it?" Kaiba said. "I told you lot to wait."

"Seto this is serious, that girl Masumi is a bad person." Kisara said.

"And we should believe these people for what reason?"

"Because of this." said Reiji as he hit a button on his sliver duel disk. "I placed data from our dimension into my duel disk to be able to prove things."

"Not that dimension nonsense again." Kaiba said. "Kisara, you have a smarter brain then that to believe these losers."

"Just watch it Seto." Kisara said. Seto looked back reluctantly and begun to watch Reiji's duel disk which he was now holding up. The Lancers also begun watched despite not wanting to see their own world getting destroyed.

The footage showed CCTV footage of Masumi carding Yaiba in the LDS safe house. Afterwards it showed the invasion hitting Standard with Academia attacking and turning many into cards. It also showed Yuzu's father Shuzo, and the kids being turned into cards which made Yuzu turn away. Ray and Yuzar were frozen in shock.

"Enough Reiji." Gongenzaka said.

"Very well." Reiji replied.

"You could've chosen another piece of footage!" Mieru shouted.

"That was a personal clip to someone here, now look at the girl Kaiba, tell me that's not real." Reiji said as he pointed to Yuzu who was trying to hold back the tears once more.

"I…. it can't be real…. it has to be a fake!" Kaiba said.

"Seto get a grip!" Kisara yelled. "Stop denying everything which is happening! Look at her!" Yuzu had turned around and tried to put on a brave face. Kisara, despite not knowing Yuzu, went to hug her. Mieru, Gongenzaka also went to join with Ray and Yuzar also coming to comfort her.

"So you're telling me this Academia is an evil duel school from another dimension which turns people into cards….? Silly." Kaiba replied.

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!" a voice was heard yelling and it was Yuzar. His eye's slightly glowing with rage. "This…. is…. real!" Yuzar yelled.

"Yuzar… what's wrong?"

"No… not again…" Yuzu said.

"Yuzar stop!" Ray yelled. Yuzar took a breath in and his eyes returned to normal.

"This is real Kaiba! Only a fool would ignore all of us! I've been to another dimension! Someone from Academia came here to fight me but Ray stood up to him! There are other summoning methods and Yuzu is over there almost in tears! STOP BEING AN IDIOT AND FACE FACTS!"

"Fine!" Kaiba yelled. "I'm a skeptic but I refuse to be branded an idiot! I shall go along with your silly claims and see with my own eyes!"

"Good enough." said Reiji. "I need to get to a lab or something to test out this chip."

"That's from my duel disk?! You went into my duel dis-" Kaiba stopped as he saw Kisara shake her head at him. "Fine, I will lead you to a place." he said with reluctance.

"Good and now we need to stop these sales." Reiji replied.

"If this advice affects Kaiba Corp then you will pay a price." Kaiba said.

"Gongenzaka, Mieru, go and stop the sales." Reiji ordered. "Through any means necessary." A reluctant Gongenzaka and Mieru paused for a second before agreeing.

"I the man Gongenzaka shall go. We shall stop this Mieru."

"Me and Ray will go as well." said Yuzar.

"No." Kaiba sternly said. "I need you two dorks to go to the duel disk signal room which is located on the ground floor, shut it down."

"Fine." Yuzar said, Ray also agreed by nodding.

"And what about me Reiji?" Yuzu asked.

"Stop Masumi." Reiji said sternly.

"How?! We don't know how to free her?!" Yuzu said.

"We will work it out." Reiji said. "Do you agree Mr Kaiba?"

"Whatever is going on is your responsibility; just don't mess up my company! Kisara, you can lead the girl to Masumi."

"Yes Seto." Kisara replied.

Masumi Office

"Time for some fun." said Masumi. She hit her duel disk and on the touch screen was a layout of Kaiba Corp. Two black circles appeared around the building and they closed in on the Lancers position.

"Now I had better get moving." Masumi got up and quickly left the room.

Top Floor

Yuzar and Ray made their way down the flight of stairs and they were now on the third floor. The two were moving as quickly as possible.

"That control room better be clear of people!" Yuzar said.

"Well that Gongenzaka guy and Mieru girl seemed to have made it out fine, plus most of the people are outside with the duel disk stuff, we'll be fine." Ray replied.

The two reached the second floor and there before him was a robotic version of Seto Kaiba. It was heavily bolted around its shell.

"What… on earth is that?!" Ray said.

"Why does Kaiba have a robot based on himself? Then again it is Kaiba, I shouldn't be surprised." Yuzar replied. He slowly went up to it, much to Ray's shock.

"Hey Yuzar, don't!"

"Always worrying about me Ray, seriously there's no need!" Yuzar said with confidence as he went up to the bot. As he approached, it lit up and a duel disk emerged from within his arm. "BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yuzar screamed as he ran back to Ray.

"That's why!" Ray said. "What on earth?!"

"I am K.C Duel Bot, prepare to duel!" it said.

"What on earth is a Duel Bot doing here?!" Ray asked.

"I don't know but just run past it!" Yuzar replied. As Yuzar tried to get past, the bot quickly moved at a fast speed to block the route.

"You must proceed to duel." Duel Bot replied.

"Argh! Fine!" said Yuzar as he activated his new duel disk with blue blade.

"Yuzar, those duel disks might be bad!"

"Sometimes Ray you need to take a chance! Anyway Reiji removed the chips from our duel disks, we should be fine! Go and stop the duel disk signal!" Yuzar said.

"But Yuzar… I…."

"I know you can do it. I know you Ray!" Yuzar turned and gave a cheesy but reassuring wink to Ray. "Ever since we were kids Ray you've always protected me and been there for me and I will always admire that, but I can do this myself, you don't need to worry Ray. I'll be fine."

"Yuzar…." Ray said. "I know…. just don't do anything dumb ok?"

"Yeah." Yuzar said with a smile. Ray departed. "Let's duel you stupid robot!" Yuzar said.

"Proceed to main phase one, I summon Shurit, Strategist of the Nekroz." said the bot. A young boy in a red outfit with a sword appeared.

"I play the Ritual Spell Nekroz Mirror. This card permits me to tribute a Nekroz from my field to Ritual Summon and via the effect of Shurit; it counts as the full cost. I tribute Shurit." A blue jar appeared on the field and Shurit shot into it.

"Here it comes…" thought Yuzar.

Yuzar LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"Not bad for a machine but I'm a champion, I draw!" Yuzar smirked at his card. "Ok I summon Ancient One Magician!" A tall magician in purple robes appeared. She had a golden broach on her black hat which connected to the robes and held a green staff.

Ancient Magician ATK: 1000 DEF: 700 Dark/Spellcaster/LVL 4

"Now by sending a Ritual Monster from my deck to the graveyard, I can summon this! I send my Ancient Knight of Blades to the grave and now bring out Ancient Knight!" A warrior in cracked brown amour arose. It appeared dusty and old.

Ancient Knight ATK: 2000 DEF: 1000 Dark/Warrior/LVL 6

"When Knight is summoned via this method, I can inflict 500 damage to you!" Knight ran forward and slashed the Duel Bot across the chest.

Duel Bot LP: 4000 – 3500

"Now I play Ancient One Ritual! I tribute Knight and Magician to Ritual Summon!" Knight and Magician shot into a pot which had formed and a beam shot out. "Here we go! Appear Ancient One Ritual Dragon!" A giant blue dragon spun around on the field. It had a long green tail with glowing dark blue orbs around its body. It had a scaly body with bright yellow eyes. It had spikes run down its back.

Ancient One Ritual Dragon ATK: 2500 DEF: 2200 Dark/Dragon/Ritual/LVL7

"This card gains 300 ATK for each monster with an original level of 5 or higher on the field and in your graveyard.

Ancient One Ritual Dragon ATK: 2800

"Now when I use Ancient Magician to Ritual Summon, I draw a card! Next when my dragon is Ritual Summoned, all monsters that are level five or higher except this card are destroyed! Ancient Explosion! "Ancient One Ritual Dragon wiped out Trishula with a mighty blast. "Now go my dragon, direct attack!" Ancient One unleashed its wings to their full extent and a blue ball charged up in its mouth and unleashed it.

"Activating Trap Card, Defence Draw." Duel Bot replied. "Damage is reduced to zero and I draw a card."

"Bah! Annoying!" Yuzar said as Duel Bot drew a card. "I set a card."

Yuzar LP: 4000 Hand: 3

"I proceed to draw."

"Enough with the mumble jumble!"

"This is my speech pattern, I-"

"JUST GO!" Yuzar shouted with impatience.

"I summon Ariel, Priestess of the Nekroz." A light purple haired female in a red magicians robe was summoned.

Ariel, Priestess of the Nekroz ATK: 1000 DEF: 1800 Water/Psychic/LVL 4

"My dragon gains 300 attack!"

Ancient One Ritual Dragon ATK: 3100

"This duel is so lifeless." Yuzar thought. "It's killing me!"

"When Ariel is tributed, I can add another Nekroz Monster from my deck. I shall add the Ritual Monster Nekroz of Decisive Armor and I use its effect. During either players turn I discard it to increase the attack and defence of one Nekroz Monster on my field by 1000."

Ancient One Ritual Dragon ATK: 3400

"I shall play the Equip Spell Ritual Weapon. I equip it to a level six of lower Ritual Monster and boost its attack and defence by 1500."

"FINALLY!" Yuzar yelled. "Something for me to fear!" Without Ray, Yuzar didn't understand how that statement came out.

Brionac ATK: 4800 DEF: 3900

"I shall attack your dragon." Brionac went in with his sword and slashed Ancient One across the chest. Yuzar gritted his teeth and his monster was blasted away.

"Now my Trap! Ritual Sealing! I destroy one Ritual Monster on the field! So say goodbye to your Brionac!" Brionac was destroyed in an instance.

"If you attack directly I would still have 100-"

"I don't need a trashcan to tell me that! I play the Equip Spell Ancient Boost and this increases the attack of one Ancient Monster by 1000 attack!"

Ancient One Ritual Dragon ATK: 4400

"END THIS!" Ancient One unleashed another blast at the bot and this time it worked. The bot was sent flying and destroyed upon impact.

Duel Bot LP: 3500 – 0 Yuzar Wins

First Floor

Ray made her way down and saw the door to the control room that Kaiba had described. The floor was empty and Ray begun to run for it. As she did, a second Kaiba bot walked out in front of her.

"No!" said Ray as the bot blocked her route.

"Prepare to duel." said the bot.

"I… not with Yuzar…." she stuttered. "Hang on! Yuzu's dad got turned into a card, and she's out here fighting! I need to be brave! I can't be a fearful person in this war! Let's go!" Ray activated her duel disk which also had a blue blade.

"Now for the Ritual Spell Shinobird Calling! I tribute my two Shinobird's to Ritual Summon! I Ritual Summon level eight Shinobaron Peacock!" The monster was a white male in a royal robe made of peacock feathers. He held a staff.

Shinobaron Peacock ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500 Wind/Winged Beast/Spirit/Ritual/LVL 8

"When Ritual Summoned I can return up to three monsters you control! I return Cyber Angel Idaten!" Peacock spun its staff around and created a breeze which sent the Cyber Angel away. "Now I can bring out a Spirit level four or below monster by ignoring its summoning conditions! Appear Yaskha!" A blue armored warrior with a long sword and black hair came to the field.

"When he is summoned, I can destroy a set card you control!" Yashka hit the bots set card and destroyed it.

"Magic Cylinder has now been removed." said the bot.

"Good and now I attack you with all my monsters! GO BOYS!" Each of Ray's monsters charged forward and hit the duel bot with their respective weapons. It was sent along the floor, destroying it in the process.

Duel Bot LP: 4000 – 0 Ray Wins

As Ray won, Yuzar came down the stairs and the two smiled at each other.

Domino – Streets

Mieru and Gongenzaka were looking around the streets and the stalls were still selling duel disks. The two had no idea how to stop them all.

"This will be almost impossible to stop!" Mieru said.

"We need to find a way, these duel disks are bad news even if Yuzar and Ray turn off the signal." As they walked forward, the two could hear yelling from many different people behind them. The two looked behind.

Many people who were dueling with their duel disks were dissolving in purple light and cards were dropping in place of them.

"What is this?!" yelled a woman who quickly turned into a card. The two Lancers looked around and everyone with a Ritual duel disk was changing into a card.

"NO WAY!" Gongenzaka said.

"TAKE THEM OFF!" Mieru shouted. A young male tried to but he couldn't.

"The wrist is locked!" he yelled in panic. Mieru ran over and tried to help him but the boy begun to glow purple.

"Move away Mieru!" Gongenzaka yelled.

"NO! I'LL SAVE HIM!" The boy was almost completely covered but not before Gongenzaka ran over and grabbed her and pulling her away. "NO!" The boy turned into a card as Mieru could only watch. The boy's card landed on the floor with a horrid look on his face.

Mieru was let go and she collapsed to the ground with tears pouring out. Gongenzaka could only watch and look around as the Academia plan was in full motion. He tapped his duel disk and begun calling Reiji.

Kaiba Corp Elevator

The two females had gone to Masumi's office and no one was there. They were now travelling up the tower in the elevator.

"Why would she be on the roof?" Yuzu asked.

"It's the only other place she could've gone." Kisara said. "Let's be thankful the elevator is still working."

"No, I think Masumi wants me." Yuzu replied. "Anyway, are you and Kaiba a couple?"

"Ha… yeah we are though he doesn't see me that way." Kisara replied.

"I can see why, he is very frosty." Yuzu said as she readied her pink duel disk.

"Kaiba is not always like that, I'm sorry if he has done anything to hurt or offend you." Kisara replied.

"Don't worry, he had his doubts about us and it's understandable." Yuzu said while she was still looking dejected.

"Then this Academia too, invaded your world?"

"Yes, my friends and my dad were carding by them..." Kisara took Yuzu's hand and tried to comfort her with a hug.

"It's okay to cry, you're a strong girl and you'll find a way to save them." A tear fell from Yuzu's face.

The elevator stopped and the doors opened. A strong blast of wind was about as Yuzu looked ahead. There before her was Masumi with her Academia duel disk. The two girls stared face to face.
