Mieru and Gongenzaka could hear the sound of marching getting closer and closer from within the dumpster. Mieru slowly peaked through the gap as they slightly lifted up the dumpster lid to get a better view.

"Anything?" Gongenzaka said. Mieru didn't answer as she saw the full army walking down the streets of the near empty Domino, each one walking in unison.

"Yeah… they're here." she replied.

"We must fight!" Gongenzaka said.

"Use your head for a minute; we can't take on all of them!" Mieru replied. "Yuzu will be here soon."

"And even that's only three?!"

"We will stand a much better chance at least! We need to try and save the people here who didn't get turned into cards, those who didn't have a duel disk!" Mieru said.

Yuzu

Yuzu ran down the street of Domino and kept looking to her side to make sure no one followed her. There were carded people on both sides of the street, all left over from the duel disk incident. Yuzu knew that she couldn't help them now so she had to keep going.

"Gongenzaka and Mieru aren't far now." she thought.

A little while later, Yuzu watch from another alleyway and looked across the street and down an opposite alley. She saw the dumpster where Gongenzaka and Mieru were hiding. All she had to do is cross the now empty street. Academia had moved on.

Yuzu dashed across into the alley and the dumpster opened with Mieru and Gongenzaka knowing it was Yuzu.

"Yuzu!" Gongenzaka and Mieru said happily.

"Hey." she said as the two left the dumpster. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, but Academia just passed through here in big numbers." Mieru replied.

"Yeah, it's clear for now." Yuzu said. "We need to get back to Kaiba Corp."

"Kaiba Corp eh?" The group looked around as they had heard a male voice.

"What's that?!" Yuzu said as she looked around. The three Lancers put up their duel disks, ready to go.

"This must be my lucky day!" the male said. Yuzu looked up and there above them was the menace in the purple uniform standing on the rooftop overlooking the alley, Yuri.

"Looks like Yuya?" Yuzu said to herself. "No way…. are you… Yuya's Fusion lookalike?!" Yuri jumped down with grace and landed before the three.

"That's me, Yuri." he replied smugly. "What luck to find an angel without Serena around!"

"Where's Yuya?!" Yuzu yelled.

"Of course I know, but like I would tell you!" Yuri hit back. He of course didn't know but Yuri couldn't resist the chance to mess someone up. "I'm here to take Yuzar out!"

"I heard from Yuzar and Ray about how you dueled them before and could only draw! I also heard that you couldn't find them afterwards. It sounds like to me that you're really bad at getting the job the done! Yuzu yelled.

"Well, lead me to Yuzar and I'll tell you where Yuya is…!"" Yuri replied with a smirk.

"No chance!"

"Well my orders are to duel and capture the dragons, not the angels." Yuri replied. "My duel disk is however broken, I can't alert anyone. So I shall take Serena's job and take your bracelet as well!"

"Yuzu, don't." Gongenzaka said. "This guy is dangerous."

"I have no other choice." Yuzu replied. "You two go back to Kaiba Corp."

"Okay… Yuzu."

"Ok." Mieru said. "Yuzu, be safe." Yuzu looked back and smiled.

"They will soon become cards." Yuri said as he activated his half-working duel disk. Yuzu activated her duel disk.

"I shall find Yuya, and take you down as well!" Yuzu said.

Kaiba Corp

Kaiba entered the room with Kisara and rest still inside. Masumi remained unconscious while Reiji was sitting down, still winded by Yuzu's hit.

"Seto!" Kisara said as she came up to hug him.

"Not now Kisara." Kaiba replied as he brushed her off.

"It's never time…" Kisara muttered. Kaiba walked to the centre of the room.

"What's wrong with you?" Seto said to Reiji. Reiji didn't even both to engage with him. "Anyway, these are for you two." Kaiba held out two chips to Yuzar and Ray.

"We can duel now?" Yuzar said.

"I just dueled some Academia freak, it works fine." The two took them. "I don't know why you fear this Academia so much, he was easier than Yuzar." It took Yuzar a second to recognise Kaiba's words.

"Hey!" he hit back.

"Well we need a plan." Ray said as she and Yuzar activated their new white modelled duel disk which worked straight away.

"We fight back? What other plan do you geeks need?" Kaiba said. "You have me, you can't go wrong."

"We need a clear plan." Ray replied. "Yuzu will figure something out."

"Well it better be a good plan." Kaiba said. "We need to flush these blue dressed freaks out of my world."

"If we could have Masumi on our side, it would've be a big help." Kisara said. "But… she's gone."

"No…" said Reiji as he slowly got back up. "I know how to help her."

Yuzu

Yuzu and Yuri stood at each end of the alleyway, Yuri smirking.

"Don't you know that if you continue to smirk like that, your face will stay that way?" Yuzu said with confidence as she tried to thrash talk Yuri.

"Cute, but Serena likes it." Yuri laughed. "I have other plans for this duel Yuzu apart from taking your bracelet!"

"Other plans?"

Turn 1

Yuri LP: 4000 Hand: 5

Yuzu Ray LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"Let's start anyway!" Yuri said. "I bring outPredaplant Cephalotus Snail!" A giant white like plant appeared. It had green leafs at the bottom and a purple mouth.

Predaplant Cephalotus Snail ATK: 1300 DEF: 1200 Dark/Plant/LVL 4

"I set two cards and end my turn! Now Angel, come at me!"

"What do you know?!" Yuzu replied.

"Not much to be honest. Just that once me and Serena have completed our roles, we shall be free to live in the utopia that we helped build while the rest of our counterparts will die!"

"So you know about the ancient battle or whatever Academia is calling it?"

"Yes, but just the same as you do. I trust that Leo Akaba knows what is best in what information he withholds." Yuri replied.

"Fine, then you're just as useless to gain information from!" Yuzu replied.

"That's harsh; I thought we should go on a trip together!"

"Trip?! I'm not going to Academia with you!"

"We don't need you remember, only the bracelet. I mean a trip, of our pasts!"

"You make no sense!" Yuzu said.

Turn 2

Yuri LP: 4000 Hand: 2

Yuzu Ray LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"I draw!" she yelled. "I set my Pendulum Scale with DuPre and Argerich!"

DuPre 1 – 9 Argerich

"I play a Trap! A special card Academia have! The Professor went to all the dimensions before choosing Fusion as his home. Along the way, he collected energy for each summon and combined them into this card! Dimensional Barrier!"

"Dimensional Barrier?!"

"I declare a type of summon, then you cannot Special Summon Monsters with that summon during this turn! I declare Pendulum!"

"You locked me out!" Yuzu yelled.

"Yes!" Yuri replied. "I need to make sure this duel goes to plan!"

"I Normal Summon Canon the Melodious Diva!" A female with blue and a purple dress with yellow boots appeared. She wore a yellow mask around her eyes.

Canon the Melodious Diva ATK: 1400 DEF: 2000 Light/Fairy/LVL 4

"I use Canon's effect to change her into defence once during my turn. Next I set a card and end there."

"Hm? No attack? You're smarter then you look." Yuri said.

"Is this all you do at Academia? Blag?"

"Ah, I like playing around, but very well." Yuri replied.

Turn 3

Yuri LP: 4000 Hand: 2

Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 2

"My turn!" Yuri added the card to his hand. "Now our journey shall begin. We shall learn about our past together!"

"I thought you said you trusted Leo Akaba in what he told you?!" Yuzu said.

"Yeah but I'm interested, I'm sure he won't mind! I summon Predaplant Cordyceps!" A yellow weed with a red head appeared.

Predaplant Cordyceps ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Dark/Plant/LVL 1

"I play Polymerization and fuse my Cephalotus with my Predaplant Cordyceps!" Yuri raised his hand into the sky and Yuzu felt a cold streak run through her.

"What am I feeling?" she said to herself.

"Our history returning!" Yuri yelled. Both Monsters spun around in the Fusion whirlpool. "Appear my Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" Yuri's Dragon appeared on the field and looked right into Yuzu.

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000 Dark/Dragon/Fusion/LVL 8

"That's… your Dragon?!" Yuzu said as she took a step back in surprise.

"But in order to unlock our past, I need your main Monster out!"Yuri said. "But that doesn't mean I can't play around until then! ATTACK!" Yuri yelled. Starving Venom released its tail which contained purple jaws on the end. The jaws snapped Canon in halve.

"Enough with the teasing!" Yuzu said.

"Fine, but in exchange, you must bring out your Mozarta!"

"Mozarta? That card? Why? How do you know about her?"

"Dennis' intel, Sora's memories, Himika… all the Academia moles!" Yuri replied.

"Yes Academia certainly have connections… did one of them take Yuya?!"

"Sigh, if it will shut you up and get you to summon Mozarta, I will tell you. I dueled Yugo and Yuya, and I nearly…."

"Nearly WHAT?!"

"Nearly LOST!" Yuri hit back as he clenched his fist. "I had to…. I had to flee!"

"COWARD!"

"Say that closer!" Yuri said. "We were taught that fleeing is better than losing!"

"Cowardly lessons! Your whole school is a joke!"

"THEN WHY DID WE CARD YOUR DAD WITH EASE!"

"You dare… mention him…!"

"Regardless, I sent Yugo and Yuya to another dimension. I have no idea where." Yuri replied.

"Well you was right about one thing, I will now summon Mozarta! I feel her! And she'll take you out!"

Turn 4

Yuri LP: 4000 Hand: 1

Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 2

"I draw!" Yuzu looked at her card and it was indeed her Mozarta. "You wanted her, well you get two! I Pendulum Summon Mozarta and my loyal solider, Queen Knight: The Pendulum Warrior!" The Pendulum portal opened and the two Fairy Monsters appeared in front of Yuzu. Her bracelet glowed.

Mozarta the Melodious Pendulum Maestra ATK: 2600 DEF: 2000 Light/Fairy/Pendulum/LVL 8 - Scale 4

Queen Knight: The Pendulum Warrior ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Light/Warrior/Pendulum/LVL 7 – Scale 4

"Wait… why did I say "my loyal solider…"?" Yuzu questioned to herself.

"Because it must've been true!" Yuri replied. "Our old lives, slowly coming into our current lives!" Queen Knight had a look of anger as she looked at the Dragon. Mozarta remained calm.

"Well, we shall see!" Yuzu replied. "Mozarta's effect allows me to Special Summon a Melodious from my hand or grave! Return Canon!"

Canon the Melodious Diva ATK: 1400 DEF: 2000 Light/Fairy/LVL 4

"I play a Quick-Play Spell, Pendulum Power! This doubles the attack of one Pendulum Monster until the End Phase. It's then banished. I power up Mozarta!"

Mozarta ATK: 5200

"You wanted her? Well here she comes! GRACEFUL WAVE!" Mozarta unleashed her wings and her piano wings powered up. She held up her wand and slammed it down, creating sound waves towards Starving Venom.

Before the sound waves hit Starving Venom, time seemed to slow down, their vision turned to white.

…..

Yuzu slowly opened her eyes; she looked down and saw that she was above some form of field. Her mind hadn't cached up yet that she had teleported somewhere else. Seconds passed before she snapped into her normal self.

"Where am I?!" she said as she looked around. Yuzu was floating high in the sky.

"Well this is interesting." Yuzu looked ahead and saw Yuri looking down with a smirk.

"Where are we?!" Yuzu yelled.

"I don't know, I'm as in the dark as you now Yuzu!" Yuri said. "It looks like there is an event on down below, let's take a look!" Yuri and Yuzu both looked down.

"This better not be a trick!" Yuzu said.

Down below, the two could see a small old-style town. Cottages were scattered across the land and a well for water.

Around the cottages was a surprising sight. There were young girls playing with wings. There were also many different figures around the village including knights, magicians and other old-styled people.

Yuzu looked around the sky and saw unicorns flying in the air along with what appeared to be dinosaurs with wings.

"What is this?!" Yuzu said. "Did I hit my head?! These… kinda look like Duel Monsters?"

"No, this is our past." Yuri said. He looked right and his eyes opened up. "And here comes the main show!" Yuzu looked in that direction. The winged creatures were seen flying away with panic.

"RUN!" a unicorn shouted. "The war is coming here!"

"War?!" Yuzu said. She looked down and the whole village heard the unicorn's words. They all begun to panic. She could see them all rushing indoors or running away. Yuzu saw that a dinosaur was flying right at her. Before she could scream, the dinosaur flew right through her. Yuzu was invisible.

"Where are the angels then?!" Yuzu heard the voice of Yuya.

"Yu…ya?" Yuzu saw a surprising sight. It was Odd-Eyes Dragon, Yuya's old dragon. This form had wings and looked on menacingly at the town.

"Let's just burn the place to bits!" said another familiar voice, it was Yuri's. Yuri himself was quite shocked as he saw Starving Venom follow Odd-Eyes in the sky.

"You know we can't." said a black dragon. It was Dark Rebellion. "We must attack the angels, not some dumb village.

"Always the voice of reason." said a white dragon which appeared like Clear Wing. "Whatever happened to letting go and being wild!"

"Well you know that I will be the best regardless." replied a blue dragon which looked like Yuzar's Ancient One.

"You four are a headache." said Odd-Eyes. "But yes, Starving Venom is right. Burn it down."

"And waste our energy?" Dark Rebellion said.

"We will attract them! Those cowards disappeared to regroup!" Odd-Eyes replied. "Now bring hell!" Each of the dragons charged up a powerful beam in their mouths as they aimed it at the village. Each one fired a beam down; each had delight in their eyes.

"That's not happening!" said a female voice. Yuzu knew who it was straight away; it was her own voice coming from someone else.

Yuzu saw a pink dome form above the village and the attacks bounced off it.

"Argh!" shouted Odd-Eyes as he saw the five attacks rebound.

"Of course they had to appear before we cause some damage!" Starving Venom added in annoyance.

High in the sky, five lights appeared in different colours. Pink, blue, green, black and purple. Each colour faded and five females appeared. Each looked like the female counterparts.

"We will always be there to stop you. Always and forever more!" the voice of Yuzu said. Each light covered the angels.

"Tribute Ciel…." Odd-Eyes gritted his teeth as he replied to Yuzu's lookalike. "And you brought your backup squad. Ritual Maria, Synchro Linette, Xyz Fiona and Fusion Elisia…."

The central figure from emerged from the pink light looked like an older Yuzu. She had three blue wings on each side which almost resembled her Mozarta's wings. She had a sleeveless, short purple shirt with a long pink skirt and long white boots.

"You won't progress in this war!" said the angel who looked like Rin.

"All the precious and innocent lives you've taken, we won't allow anymore!" Ruri's lookalike said.

"You might be strong…. but we're stronger!" Ray said in a tone which matched real Ray's cautious tone.

"We will shove your dragon faces to a place where the sun doesn't shine!" Serena's counterpart said in a blunt tone. The rest of the girls look at her with a slightly embarrassed look.

"We've battle for a long time now, you clearly won't beat us!" Yuzu's lookalike said.

"Ha, you only deflect our attacks." Odd-Eyes hit back. "You cannot stop our quest to roast this world in flames."

"You've been trying for years!" angel Ray said. "The Dragons of Destruction will not rein hell!"

"Nor will the Angels of Creation save this world!" Ancient One replied. "Remember that it was you who caused all this." Angel Yuzu looked slightly annoyed at those words.

"That's nonsense!" angel Serena replied. "Now be gone!" Each of the angels and dragons charged up an attack and fired all at the same time.

"Until next time angels!" yelled Odd-Eyes. As real Yuzu and Yuri watched, the clash of attacks created another pure white sight which blinded Yuzu and Yuri.

…..

A while later, Yuzu slowly opened her eyes and saw Yuri standing above her smirking. Both were back in Ritual.

"Well that was insightful." he replied. "We saw our own past together!"

"Damn you…" Yuzu replied. "Let's continue to duel…."

"I need to find the Ritual version of me; I will not disobey the Professor! Serena will find you soon and take your bracelet anyway!" Yuri said as he ran off. Yuzu couldn't stop him as she held her head.

Street – Ritual

"What on earth was that?!" Serena had snapped back into reality and fell against a wall in Ritual. "What… what did I just see?! What was that vision?!"

Kaiba Corp

Ray and Yuzar were in a cold sweat as they had also reappeared from a vision; both were in a separate room from Reiji and Kaiba as they had been taking a break. They looked at each other with fear.

Synchro Dimension – Arcadia

Yugo and Yuto, who still had Yuya within, were all in separate posh rooms. But each one had barred windows and the door was pure metal, impossible to break out. Each boy was knocked out on a bed. They were all physically shaking though after the vision had appeared to them as a dream.

In another room, Ruri looked out from her room via the barred windows. The vision had hit her but she had gotten over it as her fear for Yuto was much more pressing.

The Facility

Rin was in a separate jail cell from the rest of the prison. She held her head as she sat on the bed.

"What… what was that?" she thought.

From a distance room, Mina was watching Rin with interest.

Ritual

Yuri walked along the streets and a visible yellow jacket caught his attention across the street.

"What is a Ra Yellow doing here? Unless…" Yuri ran to the spot and there he could see the short-haired Serena in Ra Yellow.

"Serena….!" he said with a happy tone. Serena didn't answer or look at him as she was still caught in shock at the vision. Serena saw Yuri and looked panicked. "Hey Seren-" Serena flew at Yuri with a high punch, slamming it right into his gut.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
