A/N I know I say this each time but a massive thanks to Romadrox8975 for all his help. His ideas were very helpful in this chapter including Kaiba's moves in the duel such as Alternative White Dragon and Dragon's Mirror. Thanks dude!
"Move out the way!" said Gloria as she and Obelisk Blue students pushed a wheeled-bed through the corridor of Academia.
The students inside Academia's hallways all stepped aside as Marina was rushed through. All the students looked on in horror as one of the five Commanders was badly wounded. Coming into the corridor was Serena and Yuri, both looked beaten themselves. They looked in shock as their friend was coming in.
"MARINA?!" Serena said in shock.
"What is this?!" Yuri added. Gloria or no-one else stopped to answer.
"Hold on Marina…. hold on." Gloria thought as she continued to push it through. As they came around a corner, the hospital wing was in sight. The head doctor and a team of doctors were standing by."Doctor Ayukawa!" Gloria said in desperation.
"We have the theater all prepped." Ayukawa said. The students and Gloria let go off the bed and the doctors then took control of it. Pushing it through. Ayukawa looked back.
"Please do everything!" Gloria said.
"Of course, this is my job." she said with confidence. She entered into the hospital wing.
Yuzu
A portal opened and Yuzu as well as Yuzar shot out of it and onto the ground.
"Where are we?" Yuzu said. "What happened?!"
"I have no idea… why on earth are we here? Did Academia capture us?" Yuzar said. Yuzu had stood up and didn't reply. "Yuzu…?"
"I… I'm… home." Yuzu said. As she looked onwards, she and Yuzar had appeared in an alleyway. Yuzu was looking out to the LDS Tower.
"Standard?!" Yuzu walked out and the two looked above. The dome that Reiji had built was still standing and the city was intact.
"It's still here… it's still here…" Yuzu said in amazement.
"So we're back in the place where I first learnt of these dimensions." Yuzar said.
"Kaiba and the others will be here… let's head to Leo Corp…. they should probably change the name of that place by now thinking about it…"
Yuzu and Yuzar walked around and could see the damaged buildings from the Academia invasion slowly being rebuilt from Solid Vision.
"STAY WHERE YOU ARE! UNINDENFITED CROSS DIMENSION CROSSERS!"
A loud voice rung out and a helicopter appeared, shinning a light on the two. A sound of marching could be heard as Yuzu and Yuzar found themselves suddenly surrounded.
The group of people green-like military uniform, each with duel disks. They all stood firm around them.
"Academia?!" Yuzu said. "But the dome is still standing?!"
"Yuzu?" a female voice said. A blond-haired female made her way through the crowd. It was Yoko Sakaki, also in a military uniform.
"Mrs Sakaki?!"
Leo Corp
"Mrs Sakaki…. what on earth happened?" Yuzu said as she and Yoko along with Yuzar shot up the tower in an elevator.
"Nothing… thankfully." Yoko said. "We've been preparing for if the dome falls."
"Which explains the military gear." Yuzu replied. "I guess I should explai-"
"You don't need to." Yoko replied. "I know who you are." she turned to Yuzar. Yuzar looked freaked out.
"Er… Hi… Mrs… Sushi was it?" Yuzu looked annoyed.
"SAKAKI! SHOW SOME RESPECT!" Yuzu yelled.
"SAKAKI! YEAH.. I MEANT THAT!" Yuzar added. Yoko laughed as the doors opened. There in front of them was Kaiba looking smug.
"As ever Yuzar, you continue to prove that you're an idiot."
Inside Reiji's office, Kaiba sat down with Yuzu and Yuzar sitting. Yoko joined them.
"Seto… you and everyone made it here safely?" Yuzu said.
"Yes, thanks to you and… Yuzar." Kaiba stuttered on purpose to annoy his rival.
"It's only been a few hours since you left Ritual." Yuzu said.
"No, it's been three days." Kaiba said.
"No…" Yuzar said. "It was just today."
"Well I'm not an expert in cross-dimensional technology but… I presume you might have time-skipped ahead when you came back." Kaiba explained. "Explain everything to me."
A While Later
"So you came back through your Monster… Ritual has fallen and this angel dragon thing is getting more intense…." Kaiba said as he cross his hands together on the desk.
"And Ray is gone…" Yuzar sadly said.
"And Reiji, Gongenzaka as well as Masumi are all cards?" Yoko said sadly.
"Yes…." Yuzu said. "I'm sorry Kaiba we couldn't stop your world from falling."
"Don't talk pathetic." Kaiba said "You saved many people."
"And… your tower kinda burnt down…." Yuzar added.
"WHAT?!" Kaiba yelled. Kaiba calmed down. "Fine… well, we will sort all this out tomorrow. You guys need to rest."
"Where is Kisara and Mokuba?" Yuzu asked.
"They're safe." Kaiba said.
"Good but… what happened when you came here?" Yuzu asked.
"I'll explain that." Yoko said. "You see, I and other Leo Corp workers came together to rebuild Standard while I begun to recruit duel fighters in case the dome fell."
"And I along with the Ritual users came." Kaiba said. "At first there was tension and rightly so. But I showed the files that Reiji gave to me along with all recorded footage my duel disk registered. They all quickly took us in."
"And now you're here at Leo Corp?"
"Yeah." Yoko said.
"The office isn't as nice as mine but… it's better than nothing at all." Kaiba said. "I'll be using this place to hopefully end this war and find your friends. Now go and rest."
"You can stay at mine." Yoko said.
"Thank you." Yuzu replied with a smile.
Outside, Yuzu and Yuzar got into a car which Yoko would drive back. Yoko looked at Yuzar.
"You do look just like Yuya." Yoko said.
"Oh… um…. sorry about that." Yuzar replied.
"Don't worry; it's actually nice to see! I know you are working hard to bring him and the others back."
"Yeah but… they took my best friend Ray." Yuzar replied with sadness.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Yoko said. "But you have to focus on what you've got on. My husband is missing… Yuzu..."
"It's fine Mrs Sakaki, you can say it." Yuzu reassured her. Yoko smiled back in the car mirror,
"Yuzu lost her father to them goons." Yoko continued. "We all have lost someone. As long as Academia is still working to get their perfect world, there is still a chance to free them from their cards."
"I hope you're right." Yuzar said as he looked at his glove. He gripped his hand into a fist with anger.
Yuya House
Yuzu and Yuzar had asked to stay outside for a bit longer while Yoko went indoors. The two looked out from the house and across Standard.
"We have to get them back…" Yuzar said.
"Yes… I'm not sure how we can rest… with our friends out there." Yuzu replied.
"If there's one thing I've learnt from being a champion… it's that we all need a break… I'm sure we can afford to rest up for a few days." Yuzar said.
"I can't just wait here!" Yuzu said with impatience. "I need answers!"
"And Kaiba can give us them!" Yuzar assured.
"We could go to any of the dimensions right now via my duel disk!"
"But what if we go to the wrong one? You said that teleport would require a long recharge, what if we get stuck somewhere in Fusion?!" Yuzar said.
"Damnit….!" Yuzu gripped his fists through annoyance though she knew Yuzar was right. "I won't forgive myself if Yuya and the others are…. gone."
"Even that Yuri and Serena…?"
"I know it sounds weird but… I think they deserve a chance to see what life is like outside of Academia!"
"You're nuts! They're beyond forgiveness!"
"I just feel something from them!" Yuzu replied. "They're only following orders they don't know any different! Leo Akaba is the one beyond forgiveness….!" Yuzar sighed.
"It's been a long day…. or three, we should cool down for the night."
I know it sounds weird but ... I think they deserve a chance to see what life is like outside of Academia!" Every soldier that I have ever faced said the same thing about how they owe Leo their life"
"You're nuts! They're beyond forgiveness! "
"I just feel something from them!" Yuzu replied. "They're only following orders. they do not know any different! Leo Akaba is the one beyond forgiveness ...! "Yuzar sighed.
"It's been a long day ... or three; we should cool down for the night."
Four Days Later – You Show
"Come on Yuzar!" Yuzu shouted. Yuzu was back at her old home, You Show Duel School. She was viewing Yuzar from the gallery. The Action Field Crossover was activated and Yuzar was failing to climb up the platforms.
"I'm trying! It's not as easy as it looks!" he shouted back.
"We've been trying this for four days!" Yuzu said. "You need to push harder!" Yuzar flopped on a platform, out of breath.
"I… need a break." he said.
"Fine." Yuzu said with annoyance. She left the gallery and entered the seating room of You Show, Yoko was sat there.
"Sorry about turning your home into a training arena." Yoko said. Yuzu's house was located above You Show.
"It's fine Mrs Sakaki." Yuzu said. "I wouldn't expect anything less."
"All the remaining students who didn't become cards came to You Show. It's become the official place for Action Duels."
"What about LDS?" Yuzu said.
"After the true nature of Himika and Leo Akaba was revealed, Leo Corp and LDS had to be checked over for spy cameras and what not. Nothing was found but people didn't wish to train at a place funded by psychopaths. You Show and Yusho Sakaki have become an image for fighting back." Yoko explained.
"Well Dad would be happy with the extra business….! But I'm not sure they would want it to be used for fighting alone." Yuzu said.
"That's not our aim. It's all well and good to stop the fighting but to rebuild trust; we will do it in You Show style to win the hearts of people back."
"Can that work?"
"We won't know if we don't try. We need to be better then Academia." Yoko replied.
"I understand." Yuzu replied. "Yusho would agree as well."
"I would think so." said a voice coming in. It was Kaiba.
"Kaiba?" Yuzu said as she stood up.
"Yusho Sakaki… since I've been here I've been doing my research and this guy seems to be quite the person. His ideals might be different to mine but I respect the work he has put in."
"So what's the next move?" Yuzu said.
"Well we need Yuzar to get better at this Action Dueling, but I have a question for you." Kaiba said. "How did you get here anyway? I ran the analysis on your duel disk and there was no sign of your duel disk sending you here."
"Yeah… now I think about it, my Monster seemed to respond to my… anger. It seemed she sent me and Yuzar away."
"Monsters… responding to their owner…. sigh, I guess it could be real." said Kaiba.
"Well you have changed!" Yuzu replied.
"But being more serious, if you do have some form of power, maybe your Monster got you to safety. What happened?"
"Well as I told you, I dueled the Ritual Commander… and I was feeling anger building up inside of me."
"Your anger is quite an issue isn't it?" Kaiba said.
"No it isn't!" Yuzu said. "I've got better at it since all this begun!"
"I don't doubt that… but things have gotten more intense for you. I think you can't cope with the higher level of tension."
"You can't speak to me like that!" Yuzu shouted. "You didn't even believe in all this nonsense before!"
"Brave words for a little girl!"
"Mr Kaiba…!" Yoko defended Yuzu.
"Sometimes the truth hurts… she's a little girl fighting in an adult world. You can't handle it!" Kaiba pointed at Yuzu.
"I LOST MY DAD!" Yuzu shouted back. "I'M ALLOWED TO BE ANGRY!"
"Excuses! My father was a scumbag and look at what I did! I built and raised a company with Mokuba and Kisara!"
"I'm a different person! We all act differently!"
"And you're correct! But you're letting your anger get the better off you in a tense situation! You're pathetic! "
"THAT'S IT! I'll show you Kaiba! DUEL ME!"
"Yuzu!" Yoko said. "Mr Kaiba!"
"I ACCEPT!" Kaiba yelled back. "If I win, you'll agree to stay here! And I'll take your place!"
"FINE! And if I win, you'll admit I'm right!"
Action Field
Yuzu and Kaiba stood face to face in the You Show Action Field room. Yuzu looked on, furious. Kaiba looked smug.
"Okay, I shall prove to you Yuzu that you're nothing more than an angry girl." Kaiba said.
"I'll shove those words back down your throat!" Yuzu replied.
"DUEL!" both yelled. Yuzar, Yoko along with Kisara watched from the viewing gallery.
"Why are they doing this?" Yuzar said.
"Yuzu's anger seems to be an issue." Yoko said. "I think Mr Kaiba is trying to deal with it?"
"Trust Seto." Kisara said. "He knows what is he doing."
"I've been messing around with your Action Field technology… I have one which might be interesting! Go Cathedral of Sins!" The Action Field begun to materialize and a darkened church appeared. There were stunning stain-glass windows on each side.
Turn 1
Kaiba LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I summon Lord of D.!" A male in a skull-armored suit appeared.
Lord of D. ATK: 1200 DEF: 1100 Dark/Spellcaster/LVL 4
"Not this…" Yuzar said.
"I now reveal Blue-Eyes in my hand to Special Summon this! Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon!" A shiny newer version of Blue-Eyes appeared. It appeared brighter with a sharper look.
Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500 Light/Dragon/LVL 8
"Next I play The Flute of Summoning Dragon! I equip it to Lord of D.!" Lord of D gained a golden flute which looked like a dragon.
"What's that for?!" Yuzu questioned.
"Just watch! This allows me to bring out two Dragon-type Monsters from my hand!"
"What?!" Yuzu said in annoyance. Lord of D. blew his horn and two orbs shot out of it. The orbs went to each side and begun to emerge. "No…!"
"I Special Summon two Blue-Eyes!" Kaiba's two Monsters appeared in the field in all their might. They roared along with Alternative White Dragon in synch.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500 Light/Dragon/LVL 8 X 2
"Amazing…." Yuzu said.
"Now Yuzu, come and beat this line-up!" Kaiba yelled which turned into a typical Kaiba laugh.
Turn 2
Kaiba LP: 4000 Hand: 0
Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"My turn!" Yuzu yelled a she drew. "I shall show you that you're wrong!" she yelled with anger.
"Really? Your voice tone seems to indicate that you're proving me right…!"
"Shut up! I set my Pendulum Scale with scale two Queen Knight: Tuner Knight and scale seven Beethovta the Melodious Maestra!"
Knight 2 - 7 Beethovta
"I Pendulum Summon Opera the Pendulum Melodious Diva and Queen Knight: The Valkyrie of the South… in defence." Yuzu said with annoyance.
Queen Knight: The Valkyrie of the South ATK: 1000 DEF: 300 Light/Warrior/Pendulum/LVL 3 – Scale: 5
Opera the Pendulum Melodious Diva ATK: 2300 DEF: 1000 Light/Fairy/Pendulum/LVL 4 – Scale 4
"I set two cards and end there."
Turn 3
Kaiba LP: 4000 Hand: 0
Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 0
"Pathetic!" Kaiba yelled.
"I had a bad opening hand okay!" Yuzu hit back.
"More EXCUSES!" I DRAW! I now fuse my two Blue-Eyes together!"
"With no Fusion Card?!" Yuzu said.
"Yes! Contact Fusion isn't all that hard… I don't know why Academia think it is! I FUSION SUMMON!" Both Blue-Eyes spun around together. "Appear Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon!" A double-headed Blue-Eyes emerged.
Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500 Light/Dragon/Fusion/LVL 10
Yuzu saw an Action Card and grabbed it. "Yes!" she thought.
"I attack! Go Blue-Eyes Burst Blast!" The two dragons shot out a blue beam which merged into one stronger, more powerful attack and it was fired at Queen Knight: The Valkyrie of the South.
"Go Dark Ascension! This removes a card from your hand!" Yuzu said.
"Well that's no fun!" Kaiba replied. "I play my Quick-Play Spell then! Ritual Entry! I banish a Monster on my field and a Spell from my graveyard to allow me to add a Ritual Card and a Ritual Monster from my deck! I banish Lord of D. and my Flute! I add Chaos Max and Chaos Form!"
"Damnit!" Yuzu said.
"Now then, go my dragon!" Burst Dragon wiped out Queen Knight with ease. "Now Burst Dragon can attack another Monster!" Another strike wiped out her Melodious Monster.
"All those Blue-Eyes… how the hell am I supposed to get through that?" Yuzu thought.
"I see you doubt yourself… once again."
"I'm not and I'm fine!" Yuzu snapped back.
"If you say so…" Kaiba said. "Attack Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon!" Blue-Eyes launched its attack as Yuzu looked confident.
"Go Fairy Drive!" Yuzu's Trap activated. I halve battle damage from an attack and then I add a Fairy Monster from my deck! I add Mozarta!" Yuzu stood firm as the strike hit her and sent her flying against the wall.
Yuzu LP: 4000 – 2500
"Yuzu!" Yoko yelled. "Stop this duel!"
"Kaiba isn't trying to hurt her in a physical way." Kisara replied. "He wishes to shake her up."
"Shake her up?" Yuzar questioned.
"Kaiba's been baiting her all this time." Kisara replied.
Turn 4
Kaiba LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Yuzu LP: 2500 Hand: 1
"I draw!" Yuzu said.
"I see you still won't admit it!" Kaiba yelled.
"Admit what?!"
"Your anger! Show me it! Use it!"
"I'm not an angry person!" Yuzu yelled as she clenched her fist. Her eyes begun to glow. "I've had enough of you! I play the Spell Scale Up! I increase a Pendulum Scale by two! I bump up to nine!"
Knight 2 - 9 Beethovta
"Wow… big deal." Kaiba replied firmly.
"Shut it you rich boy! I Pendulum Summon, appear my Monsters!" Three auras shot out of the sky and emerged on her field. "Appear Mozarta along with Opera the Pendulum Melodious Diva and Queen Knight: The Valkyrie of the South all in attack!"
Queen Knight: The Valkyrie of the South ATK: 1000 DEF: 300 Light/Warrior/Pendulum/LVL 3 – Scale: 5
Opera the Pendulum Melodious Diva ATK: 2300 DEF: 1000 Light/Fairy/Pendulum/LVL 4 – Scale 4
Mozarta the Melodious Pendulum Maestra ATK: 2600 DEF: 2000 Light/Fairy/Pendulum/LVL 8 - Scale 4
"I'll give you the end Kaiba!" Yuzu saw an Action Card next to her and played it. "Double Darkened Force allows me to double the attack of all Monsters I control whose level is less than your strongest Monster! ALL MY MONSTERS GAIN ATTACK!"
Mozarta ATK: 5200
Opera ATK: 4600
Valkyrie ATK: 2000
"Wait! Kaiba made this Action Field, why would he programme that?!" Yuzar said.
"It'll all become clear." Kisara reassured.
"ATTACK Mozarta, wipe out his dragon!" Mozarta glowed in a darkened aura and shot her sound waves to Kaiba. It hit the dragon and it was wiped out.
Kaiba LP: 4000 – 1800
"ATTACK ALTERNATIVE OPERA!" Opera didn't move. "DO AS I SAY!"
"Monsters not listening to you… maybe you should read your own card." Kaiba smugly put. Yuzu looked at it and realized something.
Opera the Pendulum Melodious Diva
Main Effect: This card cannot attack the turn it is Normal or Special Summoned.
"I… I can't attack this turn with it?! And Valkyrie isn't strong enough!" Yuzu said to herself.
"Well done, you played yourself!" Kaiba replied. "Only a hot-head would be stupid enough not to read their own cards! Now… END YOUR TURN!"
"DAMNIT! I end it!" Yuzu replied.
"Excellent and now Double Darkened Force's other effect!"
"What?!" Yuzu questioned.
"Did you really think a strong Action Card wouldn't have a major side-effect? All Monsters you control are now destroyed!"
"NO!" Yuzu said as her three Monsters all returned to her extra deck. "How did this happen?!"
"Your own fault is the answer!"
Knight 2 - 7 Beethovta
Turn 5
Kaiba LP: 1800 Hand: 2
Yuzu LP: 2500 Hand: 0
"I DRAW!" Kaiba smirked at his card. "Oh this is perfect. I use Card of Sanctity, just like last time!"
"We each draw until we have six cards…!" Yuzu replied.
"You got it!" Both drew the needed cards. "I play Blue-Eyes Reborn! This allows me to bring back a Blue-Eyes Monster from the graveyard, ignoring its conditions! Normally Twin Burst would only be allowed to be summoned from my extra deck, but not here! Return my dragon!"
Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500 Light/Dragon/Fusion/LVL 10
"Yuzu is doomed!" Yuzar said.
"She will be if she doesn't get the lesson." Kisara thought.
"And now I use Chaos Form and I shall Ritual Summon! I tribute Twin Burst" Twin Burst disappeared and shot into a blue beam which had formed in the sky. Kaiba's Ritual ace shot down and appeared on the field. His whole body looked like armour and emitted intrinsic rays of light
Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon ATK: 4000 DEF: 0 Dark/Dragon/Ritual/LVL 8
"Why get rid of that Monster?!" Yuzu said.
"Because of this! Go Dragon's Mirror! This allows me to Fusion Summon a Dragon-type Monster! I banish my two Blue-Eyes from the graveyard and Alternative White Dragon which is also treated as a Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"Three Blue-Eyes White Dragon's fusing?!" Yuzar said.
"Delight with the most powerful of all dragons in their evolved glory! I Fusion Summon! Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" A mighty sliver three-headed dragon emerged. Its sliver skin along with the blue within glowed brightly and boldly. Its appearance matched its strength. Yuzu and the rest of You Show were stuck in shock.
Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon ATK: 4500 DEF: 3800 Light/Dragon/Fusion/LVL 12
"He has…. two major dragons out…"
"I'm disappointed in you Yuzu, you're pathetic..." Yuzu went looking for another Action Card.
"I can't find anything!" Yuzu shouted in rage as she punched the wall.
"You see… you fail when you're angry Yuzu, that's not good enough! End this Neo!"
"What do you want from me?!" Yuzu turned around, almost in tears. Kaiba ceased his attack.
"I want you to admit to your anger problem! Admit your fault!"
"Why is that important?" Yuzu growled back.
"Because I wish to soak in the honour of your sorrow!"
"You were never like this before!"
"Well were you?" Kaiba replied. "The Yuzu I dueled before was actually able to read her card effects! You're a waste of space!"
"No… it's….. it's…. hard!"
"Oh boohoo! How is it any different to your friends who are in the same boat! Getting angry with the world isn't going to do anything but cause more destruction! You can have anger as long as you use and control it! But you can't do that since you refuse to admit you have a problem, so you've just wasted my time! ERDICATE HER NEO!"
"WAIT!" Yuzu shouted.
"What now?" Kaiba said in annoyance.
"It's not easy for me okay!" she yelled. "I know that sometimes… I go too far…. I know that… people have said I have had anger issues. Rin said it… Yuya… and now you…. I thought I had it under control but… clearly not."
"Well now you admit it." Kaiba said. "And now you'll be crushed!"
"Well I deserve it!" Yuzu shouted back. "I feel far too sorry for myself to do anything! You're better off wiping me out! I can't help this anger!"
"Go on then, I'll bite. Tell me your sob story."
"Back in Ritual…. I…. I made the Ritual Commander lose an eye….."
"What?!" Kaiba said in actual shock. Yoko and the rest except Yuzar looked surprised.
"That was my fault! It was my Monster and my responsibility! That just sums it all up for me!"
"Sums what up? That a Monster collided with someone and it was an accident?" Kaiba replied.
"I'm dangerous this way!" Yuzu looked at her hands and clenched them. "This is the only way I've known how to live! As a child… I was always having to look after my dad! I never knew my mother so I had to step up! He is a clueless… lovable but clumsy … man… I had to act!"
"So what?" Kaiba sternly replied. "Did he ask you to? Did he require you to act as an adult?!"
"No but that was my job! When Yusho Sakaki disappeared, I had to step up and help Yuya… but I never did anything well enough! My Dad is gone and so is Yuya… I FAILED!"
"So all that level of insecurity lead to you gaining anger problems and you think you're now stuck like this….. well done." Kaiba replied.
"Wha- well done for what?!"
"It took a while but at long last we finally know that you're not an angry person by nature. Your circumstances lead you to being like this… but that doesn't mean you're stuck like this." Kaiba replied.
"Of course I am!" Yuzu shouted back.
"Things have turned bad yes, but none of that is your fault. From what you told me, you did everything you could to stop them! You did the best you could, and that's all anyway can ask for! I have tried to protect Mokuba and Kisara, but I haven't always been able to. Sometimes I screwed up in upsetting them… but I got over it and improved! You didn't even mess up unlike me! If you wish to save them you need to stop crying about the past and starting thinking about the future! We can only look forward, not BACK!"
"And you did an amazing job!" Yoko said as she came onto the Action Field.
"Mrs Sakaki…?" Yuzu replied.
"Shuzo would often speak to me when you and Yuya were playing, he regretted as to how much you did for him. Don't you remember, he tried to tell you to let him do the work but you always said no? Even back then you were a stubborn girl. Always doing the best for the people you loved. Yuzu, I don't blame you for Yuya's disappearance… in fact I love you even more for trying to stop. None of this is your fault… in fact; you deserve credit!"
"I can't help it… I need to help people! I need to keep doing things otherwise-"
"Otherwise what?" Kaiba said. "The world will end? If you fight alone and continue to be angry then Academia will end the world! We humans all have flaws, you can't be perfect, not even me! You're blaming yourself for doing something great, caring! "
"Trust Kaiba to add some ego into a life lesson…." Yuzar said to himself.
"But being angry is… it's how I am now!"
"So what?! If you wish to be angry then fine! If you wish to punch someone… okay maybe not that but the point still stands! You might be this way but that's because you haven't learnt control! You can't get anywhere being angry! If you wish to save your friends, you need to be focused! Being angry is fine, but there's a time and place!"
"I guess I never thought of it that way… I guess I need to be a bit more confident like Yuya…" Yuzu said slowly.
"Are you brave enough to duel me now?" Kaiba said firmly.
"You've… you've been baiting me, haven't you Kaiba!" Yuzu shouted.
"Ding ding, we have a winner." Yuzu gritted her teeth and her fist. She then smirked.
"Fine! I'll inflict my rage on you by defeating you!"
"Good… I was going for the win anyway! I won't lose! NEO END THIS!" The blast shot forward to Yuzu. The blast created a hole in the Action Field floor, causing a dust storm.
"Yuzu… lost?" Yuzar said.
"Don't always assume that." Kaiba said to Yuzar. "But that's why I'm better then you." Yuzar looked enraged at Kaiba's mocking.
"You're right Kaiba! This is funny Kaiba just like before I use this! When I'm attacked directly, I can Special Summon this from my hand! Queen Knight: Sir Kay the Defender!" A female with short pink hair appeared with purple, short sleeved amour appeared in defence position. The dust cloud dispersed once it was summoned.
Queen Knight: Sir Kay the Defender ATK: 1300 DEF: 2900 Light /Warrior/LVL 5
"NOT THAT ANNOYING THING!" Kaiba replied.
"When she's summoned this way, the battle phase ends!" Yuzu replied as Neo Blue-Eyes was forced back to Kaiba's field.
"Ha… not bad, but you still need to bypass my Monsters. Let's see if you can little girl! I set two cards!"
Turn 6
Kaiba LP: 4000 Hand: 0
Yuzu LP: 2500 Hand: 5
"Don't mind if I try, rich boy! I draw! I play Pendulum Refund! This allows me to banish a Pendulum Monster in my Pendulum Zones and next I can add a Monster from my deck with the same Pendulum Scale! I remove Beethovta and I add scale seven Queen Knight: The Pendulum Warrior! Next I reset my Pendulum Scale with scale nine Smyth the Melodious Pendulum Maestra!"
Knight 2 - 9 Smyth
"I Pendulum Summon!" Four lights shot out onto the field. "Return from my extra Valkyrie, Opera nd Mozarta! Also, appear Queen Knight: The Herald of Light!"
Queen Knight: The Valkyrie of the South ATK: 1000 DEF: 300 Light/Warrior/Pendulum/LVL 3 – Scale: 5

Queen Knight: The Herald of Light [2600 ATK / 1900 DEF / Light / Level 7 / P.S.9 / Warrior / Pendulum]
Herald was in dark yellow armor. She had long blond hair and held a sword.
