"Masumi, it's me Yuzu, do you remember?" Yuzu said with her hand on her own chest as she pleaded.
"Don't treat me like an idiot Yuzu Hiragri!" Masumi sternly replied. "I remember beating you last time and taking your bracelet, I will do the same thing again!" she smirked.
"Masumi this isn't you! Remember who you are!"
"You have no idea who I am!" Masumi yelled with a deadly look in her eyes. "I shall wipe out an angel, take your bracelet and then turn you into a card afterwards!"
"I can't let that happen!" Yuzu replied. "I'll free you and stop this Academia plan!"
"Oh so you know about the duel disks then?" Masumi said. "I see news spreads quick. You can't stop a wheel which is already in motion!"
"Well I will try!" Yuzu activated her pink duel disk.
"No chance!" Masumi placed her orange Academia duel disk on and it activated.
"DUEL!" both girls yelled.
"Good luck Yuzu…." said a worried Kisara as she watched from the sidelines.
"I could use Crossover but… Masumi is an expert in Action Duels, that would be giving her the same chance as me." thought Yuzu.
Turn 1
Masumi LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I shall begin!" Masumi said. "And just like before, I shall beat you with my Gem-Knights! I play Gem-Knight Fusion and this allows me to Fusion Summon by using material from my hand! I Fusion Summon with my Multi-Gem and Gem-Knight Tourmaline!"
"Multi-Gem?" said Yuzu. A yellow Knight and a giant crystal made of different colours fused in the whirlpool.
"Appear Gem-Knight Seraphinite!" A sliver knight with a blue scarf appeared.
Gem-Knight Seraphinite ATK: 2300 DEF: 1400 Earth/Fairy/Fusion/LVL 5
"First of all I shall explain." said a smug Masumi. "To use Seraphinite, I needed a Light Monster and a Gem-Knight. Tourmaline counts as the Light while Multi-Gem is always treated as a Gem-Knight!"
"Using your Gem-Knights, just like last time!" Yuzu said. "When you was working for Reiji! Don't you remember?!"
"It's all irrelevant!" Masumi replied. "I set a card and now during the end phase, if Multi Gem is in the graveyard, it is summoned to my field in defence!"
Multi-Gem ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Dark/Rock/LVL 1
"When Multi-Gem appears, I can add Gem-Knight Fusion from my graveyard to my hand!"
"I only dueled you once but these cards…. feel different." said Yuzu.
"Of course, I'm an Academia warrior, I only get the best!" Masumi replied with a grin. "I've been to the XYZ dimension and I've been doing this! I'm an Academia student forever!"
"Ugh, this is annoying me now." Yuzu thought.
Turn 2
Masumi LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I draw and I set my Pendulum Scale! I set scale three Bachta the Melodious Maestra and scale nine Argerich the Melodious Pianist!" Yuzu slammed the cards onto each side of the duel disk. Her two Monsters arose in the beacons.
Bachta 3 - Argerich 9
"I Pendulum Summon! Appear Queen Knight: The Pendulum Warrior and Bass the Melodious Songstress!" Pendulum Warrior was a pink haired female who wore red, old style amour on with a red cape along with Bass who wore long green haired woman in a purple like outfit with long green gloves.
Queen Knight: The Pendulum Warrior ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Light/Warrior/Pendulum/LVL 7 – Scale 4
Bass the Melodious Songstress ATK: 2400 DEF: 1800 Light/Fairy/Pendulum/LVL 5 - Scale 4
"Now go Queen Knight!" Yuzu commanded as she picked up her sword and went to clash with Seraphinite."
"Hm. While Multi-Gem is on the field, Fusion Monsters cannot be destroyed by battle!"
"WHAT?!" Pendulum Warrior hit Seraphinite but it wasn't destroyed.
Masumi LP: 4000 – 3800
"What on earth is that card?!" Yuzu questioned.
"Academia have enough energy and knowledge to create cards much more powerful then this one!" Masumi hit back.
"Masumi you've been brainwashed! You were an original Lancer who was meant to beat Academia, NOT join them!"
"Things change." Masumi shrugged. "Yes I was scared and panicked when Himika Akaba teleported me away but now I see it differently. I was the only Fusion user truly good enough to join Academia from Standard! Academia has opened my eyes to the truth! I'm where I belong!"
"Don't make me sick." Yuzu said. "Bass! ATTACK!" Bass went in for the hit but Masumi's Monster remained due to Multi-Gem.
Masumi LP: 3800 - 3700
"Go my Trap!" Masumi replied. "Survivor Fusion! If you control two Monsters that attacked me this turn, I can switch them to my side! Then by banishing two Monsters from my deck, the two new Monsters I gained, are treated as them!"
"NO WAY!" Yuzu said as her Monsters changed sides.
"I banish Gem-Knight Crystal and Gem-Knight Sapphire!" Masumi's new Monsters took the image of each knight. "I Fusion Summon Gem-Knight Zirconia!" A large sliver knight with a long purple cape appeared on the field.
Gem-Knight Zirconia ATK: 2900 DEF: 2500 Earth/Rock/Fusion/LVL 8
"That Monster…. from before." Yuzu stuttered.
"Does it scare you?" Masumi said. "It should! Before in our first duel, your anger got the better of you and you got knocked out!" Yuzu clenched her fist.
"I'm better now!" Yuzu replied.
"Really? From our intel, we heard that your anger created those Queen Knight Monsters."
"How would you know that?!" Yuzu snapped back.
"Academia is everywhere! Regardless, your still the same person… hang on… no you're not, you're minus one dad!" Yuzu gritted her teeth and then smirked.
"You're a bit late Masumi; someone already pulled that move earlier!"
"Well done Yuzu." thought Kisara on the sidelines.
"Maybe you have changed." Masumi replied. "But I will break you again and again and again!"
"Let's see." Yuzu replied. "Since you Fusion Summoned with my Monsters, they return to my extra deck. I set one card and end my turn."
Turn 3
Masumi LP: 3700 Hand: 2
Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 1
Masumi drew her card and added it to her hand. "IT'S TIME!" she yelled. "Using Gem-Knight Fusion once more, I fuse my Multi-Gem and Garnet in my hand! Appear Gem-Knight Citrine!" A bronze armoured warrior appeared with magma hands as well holding a flaming sword.
Gem-Knight Citrine ATK: 2200 DEF: 1950 Earth/Pyro/Fusion/LVL 7
"Three Fusions…. insane." thought Yuzu.
"Well this was easy." said Masumi. "Direct attackZirconia!"Zirconia went in for a direct punch and successfully hit Yuzu. She was sent across the rooftop.
"YUZU!" Kisara yelled.
Yuzu LP: 4000 – 1100
"I play a Trap!" Yuzu replied once she got back up onto her feet. "Go Show End! When I take damage, I end the battle phase! Then I can add a Pendulum Melodious Monster from my deck with a level less than the Monster who dealt damage! I add level one Flat the Melodious Tuner."
"Annoying." Masumi said. "Multi-Gem returns to the field and Gem-Knight Fusion returns to my hand!"
Multi-Gem ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Dark/Rock/LVL 1
Turn 4
Masumi LP: 3700 Hand: 2
Yuzu LP: 1100 Hand: 2
"Then I draw! First, using my set scales, I Pendulum Summon Bass, Queen Knight and Mozarta! Three beams shot out of the Pendulum circle and each of Yuzu's Monsters appeared. Queen Knight appeared in defence.
Queen Knight: The Pendulum Warrior ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Light/Warrior/Pendulum/LVL 7 – Scale 4
Bass the Melodious Songstress ATK: 2400 DEF: 1800 Light/Fairy/Pendulum/LVL 5 - Scale 4
Mozarta the Melodious Pendulum Maestra ATK: 2600 DEF: 2000 Light/Fairy/Pendulum/LVL 8 - Scale 4
"Now if I control a Special Summoned Monster, I can bring out my Tuner Monster! Appear Flat the Melodious Tuner!" A white dressed young female with blonde hair appeared. She wore yellow boots and held a staff with musical notes engraved on it.
Flat the Melodious Tuner ATK: 100 DEF: 200 Light/Fairy/Tuner/LVL 1
"I tune Flat with Bass to Synchro Summon!" Yuzu pointed to the sky as the two Monsters entered into the summoning sequence.
5+1=6
"Appear level six, Melodious Prima Maestra!"She wore an old style female red amour with long pink hair which was tied up at the end. She also held a sword.
The Melodious Prima Maestra ATK: 2000 DEF: 1400 Light/Warrior/Synchro/LVL 6
"This card gains 500 attack for each Melodious on the field, including itself!"
Maestra ATK: 3000
"What?!" said a shocked Masumi.
"Yes, now attack my Maestra, wipe out her Gem-Knight Citrine!" Maestra slashed the Gem-Knight in halve but once again due to Multi-Gem, it remained on the field.
Masumi LP: 3700 - 2900
"Is this your plan Masumi? Keep holding on until I take away all your lifepoints?" Yuzu said. "The Masumi I dueled before was a lot more ruthless!"
"You know nothing about me or my plan Yuzu!" Masumi said as she pointed at her.
"I know back home you have a father! Don't you care that Academia might have turned him into a card?!" Yuzu yelled.
"Of course I don't, Academia is my home. All those who Academia card will not only aid the Arc Area project via their life energy, they will also die as a result! I don't need anyone else!"
"Damnit Masumi!" Yuzu said. "I will free them before that happens!"
"You'll be a card as well! We only need your bracelet after all."
"That won't happen and I will free you Masumi! Mozarta attack Seraphinite! Graceful Wave!" Mozarta lifted up wings and unleashed a powerful sound wave from her wand. It hit the Monster and Masumi felt a burning pain from the damage.
Masumi LP: 2900 – 2600
"I end my turn!"
Turn 5
Masumi LP: 2600 Hand: 2
Yuzu LP: 1100 Hand: 1
"I'm up!" Masumi looked at her card and smirked. "It's here Yuzu!"
"What is?!"
"You can wait a bit longer, but first, I play Gem-Knight Fusion! I fuse all my Gem-Knight Fusions!" Each of the knights clashed their swords together in unison as they fused. "Surge Gem Knight Master Diamond!" A knight in sliver amour appeared. He had a huge sword with different jewels going down it. The Monster stood tall on the field.
Gem-Knight Master Diamond ATK: 2900 DEF: 2500 Earth/Rock/Fusion/LVL 9
"Is that it?" Yuzu said.
"Not even close! Now watch! I play the Spell Gem-Knight Recruitment! I banish a Gem-Knight and I can Special Summon one Monster from my hand! I banish my now worthless Multi-Gem!"
"Why banish that?! That card was helping you?!"
"It was, but now this will! I bring out Parasite Fusioner!"
"Parasite Fusioner?!" Yuzu replied in shock. Masumi smirked as a brown parasite appeared on the field; Kisara was freaked out by it.
Parasite Fusioner ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Dark/Insect/LVL 1
"What is that thing?!" Kisara said.
"I want to know as well!" Yuzu added.
"This bug? This wonderful… amazing…. beautiful creature?"
"What on earth is wrong with you Masumi?!" said Yuzu who was getting more and more creeped out.
"This bug… is what is in my head!"
"YOU WHAT?!" Yuzu and Kisara shouted at once in pure shock.
"This bug is what made me see sense; this bug is what made me join Academia!" Masumi said while pointing at her head.
"Stop fooling!" Yuzu yelled.
"No fooling! The bug which is on my field, is in my head as well! Now watch its power! When it's Special Summoned, I can use it to Fusion Summon by using Monsters from my hand or field! Now FUSE!" Parasite and Master Diamond spun around in the whirlpool. "Appear my beautiful Gem-Knight Corrupted Master Diamond!"
"Corrupted?!" Yuzu said as a black armoured knight with yellow trims appeared. He had a long, sharpened black sword and a black shield. Parasite Fusioner crawled over his chest and clung on.
Gem-Knight Corrupted Master Diamond ATK: 3400 DEF: 3000 Dark/Rock/Fusion/LVL 12
"This is why I joined Academia!" Masumi yelled.
"Damnit!" said Yuzu. "I can't break her out of it!" Kisara looked on from the sidelines; she knew there was nothing she could do.
"Parasite Fusioner is equipped to my Monster via its effect, and now you shall face the full wrath of it Yuzu Hiragri! When it's Fusion Summoned, I can bring out a Fusion Monster from my extra deck or graveyard while ignoring its summoning conditions!"
"A Fusion Summon without its conditions….? How can I beat her?!" Yuzu thought as she gritted her teeth.
"I summon Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond!" A female knight in grey amour appeared.
Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond ATK: 3400 DEF: 2000 Earth/Rock/Fusion/LVL 10
"Now for Corrupted Master Diamond's other effect! It gains 200 attack for each Gem-Knight on the field, in my hand and in the grave!" "That's crazy!" said Kisara. "I have seven in the graveyard and I control two on the field, that's 1800 more points!"
Corrupted Master Diamond ATK: 5100
"5100…." Yuzu said while in shock.
"Attack Brilliant Diamond, destroy her Mozarta!" Diamond slashed across Mozarta's chest and a dust cloud formed.
Yuzu LP: 1100 - 300
"No Yuzu!" said Kisara yelled.
"Batcha's Pendulum effect stops each of Special Summoned Melodious Monsters from being destroyed once per turn!" said Yuzu as Mozarta remained.
"It makes no difference!" Masumi said.
"This will! I use Prima's effect! During either player's turn, by banishing a Melodious Monster from my grave, I can negate a card effect! I banish my Flat to negate Corrupted Master Diamond!"
Gem-Knight Corrupted Master Diamond ATK: 3300
"Well done, you stopped my Monsters effect, but you only have 300 points left Yuzu! Prepare to lose! I attack with Master Diamond! Attack Mozarta!"
"I use Braveheart's effect in my hand!"
"You used that against Kaiba!" Kisara said.
"Yeah and it helped me then and it will help me now! By sending this card from my hand while a Light Monster is battling, it gains the attack of the battling opponent's Monster until the end phase!"
Mozarta ATK: 5900
"She will lose 2500 lifepoints!" Kisara cheered.
"Yes but I use Parasite Fusioner! I destroy this card and then my Corrupted Diamond is safe!"
"But you still take damage!" Masumi's Parasite was destroyed and Diamond remained. However the hit knocked Masumi across the rooftop. Since Diamond remained, Yuzu also took a hit which had reflected off the Monster. Yuzu was blasted across the rooftop at a high speed but unlike Masumi, Yuzu was pushed too far, Yuzu had been sent off the rooftop.
"YUZU!" Kisara yelled.
Masumi LP: 2600 - 100
Yuzu could only see the top of the tower get further and further away as she fell. Yuzu didn't scream nor panic, the whole incident had taken her by pure shock and she honestly didn't know to do or think. Her body had shut down to an extent.
Up on the roof, Kisara could only watch and then turn away in horror. Masumi got back up and brushed herself down.
"Pathetic. Guess I'll gain the item via her death." Masumi said as she begun to walk off. On the duel field, Yuzu's Mozarta looked at Queen Knight and nodded to her, Queen Knight nodded back. Masumi noticed Queen Knight leap from the field and down the tower. "What?!" Masumi yelled.
"CIEL! CIEL!" a female voice was barely with it as she got near the ground.
"Ci….Ciel?"Yuzu thought as she could barely keep her eyes 's bracelet glowed as her Queen Knight came flying at her with her arms open. The Monster got under Yuzu and caught her in her arms.
"My angel…. my best friend who always treated me as a sister… I vowed to always be there to protect you. Your sealed spirit sent me."
"Angel… sealed spirited?" A flash of white light flashed in Yuzu's eyes and a second later, Yuzu was back on the rooftop. "Huh?! What? What happened?!" Yuzu questioned as looked around.
"Yuzu?!" said Kisara. "You… you fell?!"
"Did I?! What on earth just happened?!" Yuzu questioned to herself while holding her head.
"Real Solid Vision must've saved you!" Masumi yelled. "How annoying! I end my turn!"
"Real Solid Vision saved me… but my Monster… talked?" Yuzu thought as she looked towards her Monsters that were on the field.
Mozarta ATK: 2600
Turn 6
Masumi LP: 100 Hand: 0
Yuzu LP: 300 Hand: 0
"I have no idea what just happened but…. I need to win this duel!" Yuzu yelled. Yuzu placed her hand on her deck and her bracelet glowed once more.
Ray Yuzar
Yuzar and Ray were now inside the duel disk signal room. There were many different computer panels around the room and too many switches to comprehend.
"Which one cuts the signal?!" Yuzar said.
"I guess Kaiba wants us to try everything?!" Ray replied.
"Trust that fool not to tell me where it is. I swear he has it in for me!"
"People are being turned into cards around Domino Yuzar, we need to sort this now and worry about that later!"
"Yes I know. I'll start over there and you start here." Yuzar said as he walked off to the side of the room. Ray looked down at the controls but noticed her blue gemmed bracelet glowing.
"What is this?" Ray said. A pink portal slowly formed next to Ray which caught her by shock. "What the?!" The portal formed and Yuzar didn't notice as his back was turned.
Within the portal, Ray could see Yuzu dueling Masumi. "Yuzu?" Ray questioned. Ray looked at her bracelet and the glowing grew more frequent. Ray put her hand in to the portal which made her disappear. The portal disappeared afterwards
"Ray?" Yuzar looked behind and his mouth dropped to the floor once he saw Ray had vanished.
Yuzu
"I dra-" As Yuzu was about to draw, the pink portal appeared and Ray stepped through. Yuzu looked behind and she couldn't believe it."RAY?!"
"Yuzu?!" Ray said. "Where… what is this?!" Masumi and Kisara could only look on with confusion.
"I have no idea…" Yuzu looked at their flashing bracelets. "It can't be… not again."
"What again?"
"Last time I needed help…. Rin, the Synchro girl who looks like us came to my help. I gained the power to Synchro Summon…. you came to my help when I needed it."
"Of course, I haven't known you for long but, I understand your troubles and I want to help." Ray replied. "But what's happening here?"
"This girl is Masumi, she's from my dimension and she's been brainwashed by Academia. I will save her!"
"She's behind the duel disks?!"
"Yes but it's not her fault." Yuzu said.
"I know, I'll help!"
"Thank you, Ray." Yuzu said. Ray's bracelet glowed even more and it transferred into Yuzu's bracelet. Yuzu's deck glowed and she put her hand on the top card.
"Perfect." said Masumi. "I don't know how, but the other angel is here!" she thought.
"Here we go! We draw!" Yuzu said. The card she drew glowed in a blue aura and Yuzu looked at it. "Perfect. Thanks Ray." Ray smiled back on the sidelines.
"Go win this Yuzu!"
"Enough with the cheap talk!" Masumi hit back.
"This has happened before Masumi, surely Academia told you?" Yuzu said.
"Wait… you can't have…."
"Yes. I have bonded with another friend! I play the Ritual Spell Altar of the Goddess!"
"A RITUAL?!" Ray yelled.
"Yuzu has a Ritual Spell?!" Kisara said.
"Screw you!" Masumi said.
"I will now free you! Altar allows me to add a Ritual-Pendulum Monster from my deck!"
"Ritual-Pendulum?!" Masumi said as she took a step back in shock.
"Yes and I add Queen Knight: The Divine Valkyria!" Yuzu held up a half-blue, half-green card. "Queen Knight is level ten and due to Altar, I can tribute Monsters from my field, including my Pendulum Zones and hand! I tribute Melodious Prima Maestra and my Bachta in my Pendulum Zone! I shall combine the power of Rin and Ray!" Prima and Bachta disappeared and flew into the Ritual Spell.
"RITUAL SUMMON!" Yuzu and Ray yelled at once. "Lady of heaven, warrior sent by the heavenly angels, attend my call and fight at my side! Queen Knight: The Divine Valkyria!" The Monster was as huge fairy which six white wings, three on each side and wore blue amour. She wore a helmet with long wings attached and held a spear.
Queen Knight: The Divine Valkyria 3600 ATK / 3000 DEF / Light /Fairy/ Level 10 / Warrior / P.S.13 / Ritual / Pendulum
The Monster floated down next to Yuzu who stood with confidence. Masumi gritted her teeth.
"Amazing…." said Ray.
"How….?" Kisara said.
"This is the end Masumi! I attack with Valkyria! "Divine Spear Slash! Attack Corrupted Master Diamond!"
"I banish Gem-Knight Recruitment and use its second effect! I banish a Gem-Knight and all battle damage this turn is made zero!" Lady Diamond was banished. Valkyria struck Corrupted Master Diamond and wiped it out.
"NO Yuzu!" Ray said. "There goes her chance!"
"Valkyria's effect activates! The destroyed Monsters attack is taken from your lifepoints!" Yuzu said pointing to Masumi.
"NO!" Masumi yelled as Valkyria charged the spear up and a bolt of lightning hit the weapon. The Monster used the discharge to attack Matsumi. She was sent flying across the rooftop upon impact.
Masumi LP: 100 – 0 Yuzu Wins
"It's over." Yuzu said as she dropped to her knees. Masumi didn't move.

Thanks to Rom for the great Ritual Cards and other quotes including the chant and his ideas as ever. Yuzu can now Ritual Summon! Thanks for the reviews and for the question.
Jalen – Yes we will go to Xyz and I don't want to put a limit on but I presume about 10 or slightly less chapters until Synchro full arc, afterwards I don't know. Synchro could be any amount.
