A/N Duel and OC cards written by Romadrox8975, all credit goes to him Raito also belong to Rom while Royal2 created Mercy.

"Who are you?!" Ruka said in surprise.

"You teleported?! I think these are Arcadia; there were rumours that higher-ups had mind readers and teleporters!" Mercy added.

"Whoa, no we're not!" Yuzar said. "Wow… people are so untrusting."

"You were untrusting when I came to Ritual…." Yuzu said.

"I don't recall that….!" Yuzar joked.

"Look!" Yuzu said. "I'm here from another dimension to find my friends in Yuya and Rin as well as a group called the Lancers!"

"Yuya…. Rin?!" Ruka replied. "So you're Yuzu…."

"Yes! You saw Yuya and Rin?!" Yuzu said.

"Yeah… but they kinda got captured." Mercy added.

"By Academia?!" Yuzar added.

"No…" Ruka said sadly. "Follow me, we'll tell you all."

"Can we trust you?" Yuzar said.

"That's not up to me." Ruka replied. Yuzu and Yuzar nodded at each other.

Martha's House

Yuzu, Shingo, Tsukikage, Mercy, Ruka and Yuzar were all at Martha's. Ruka had explained everything while Yuzu and Yuzar had cleared up any confusion about the dimensions. They were all taking the news in.

"So let me make this clear…" Yuzar said. "This world is riddled by either a high class or low class system… with corrupt police."

"This world sounds messed up." Yuzu said. "And Physic Duelists who can make damage read without an Action Field…."

"And you lost Mieru… Gongenzaka and Reiji?!" Shingo said. "How'd we lose all of them?!"

"It wasn't our fault!" Yuzu hit back to Shingo, the two quickly reuniting their clashes.

"Mr Akaba… gone." Tsukikage said. "Along with Mieru and Gongenzaka… this is bad news."

"Yes… Academia claimed to have carded them all but… I just feel Reiji is alive…" Yuzu said.

"You did well you two." Tsukikage assured. "You cleared Academia from Ritual and saved many people."

"Yeah well… we also lost Yuzar's best friend Ray to Academia." Yuzu added.

"And we'll get her back as well." the ninja replied.

"So did you get any new toys back in Standard?" Shingo said.

"Yeah… this new Action Field programme will allow us to have more variety of Action Fields rather than crossover." Yuzu said. "It should've downloaded to your duel disks by now as its set to download to all Lancer duel disks."

"Nice! This Seto Kaiba sounds almost as good as me!" Shino replied.

"Well… last time I recall I beat you." Yuzar said.

"And I've beaten him twice now…" Yuzu added, unimpressed. Shingo look irritated.

"Okay." Martha said. "Now we've got more friends to help…what are we going to do about Yugo and Rin along with Yuya as well as Dennis?"

"Dennis… is the enemy." Yuzu said.

"What?! Now I know you've hit your head!" Shingo replied.

"I met Yuya's Fusion counterpart and he told me about Dennis having some form of intel… I didn't pay much notice to it at the time as I didn't want to give anything away…" Yuzu said.

"So that rat was spying on us?!" Shingo stood up.

"It matters not." Ruka said. "He got arrested by Security… he's in the right place."

"But Rin isn't." Yuzu said. "We need a plan."

"Yes and me and Ruka were trying to work on one." Mercy said. "But the high level of guarding was too much."

"You try and help those in need in both Tops and Commons… is there anyone who could help us?" Yuzu said. "And you have these… powers?"

"Yeah.. like I said… duel spirits are real and I can contact them." Ruka said.

"Amazing… we'll need to talk about that in depth soon." Yuzu replied.

"But for now we need to get our people out of these places." Ruka added.

"For the one hundredth time… can't you just blow the doors down on these places?" Shingo stated. "You have these powers don't you?!"

"Arcadia has powers as well… I'm not strong enough to take them all down." Ruka explained.

"Plus if Arcadia got their hands on Ruka… it would be bad." Mercy explained. "Also… there's rumours of mind-readers within… we're doomed if they read our mind and know our plans."

"What about your powers then….?!" Shingo said to Mercy.

"I didn't unlock mine yet." Mercy replied.

"Oh great… fat lot of good you would do!" Shingo shouted.

"Show some respect!" Yuzu slammed Shingo with a fan repeatedly.

"What on earth! Stop it!" Shingo shouted as Yuzu stopped.

"This thing is quite the stress-reliever… Kaiba was right." Yuzu said as she put it away.

"Is everyone from your dimension this… strange?" Mercy said to Tsukikage. The ninja didn't answer.

"Here's what I propose." Ruka explained. "Me, Mercy, Yuzu will head to Arcadia while Shingo, Tsukikage and Yuzar will head to the facility."

"Me… go to a jail?!" Yuzar said.

"Not go to it… break in." Mercy added.

"I could take this Security and Arcadia down with my ultra, super special moves!" Shingo said. "I don't need your help!"

"Fine, go ahead." Ruka said. Shingo looked slightly more nervous as the group looked at him.

"Well… it would be selfish of me not to let you see my duels in person. You could all learn something from me." Shingo replied.

"I am fine with this plane." Tsukikage replied. "I shall begin to plan our assault."

"And we shall as well." Ruka replied. "Thanks to Mercy we know roughly where Yuya is being held. For Rin… I don't know where but I do have a source from a journalist who I trust. She heard about a powerful asset being kept in the deepest cell, below the ground."

Arcadia

"So the girl gave us nothing?" Aki said to Euridice as they looked over at Yuya who had been strapped to a chair.

"No she was useless." Euridice said. "But this guy… wow."

"But he isn't even Physic?" Aki replied. "I thought it was us against the world?"

"It is Aki but more power is always good." Euridice said. "It's what my brother wanted and I shall continue to carry out his goal."

"What about the girl then? Her memory will be wiped?" Aki replied.

"No, we'll keep her around to push this boy as far as he can go. She's locked away in her cell again."

"Understood." Aki replied.

Roget Office

Mina in her yellow coat with blonde hair was preparing to go undercover into Arcadia. The Doctor's daughter who was staying with Roget was determined to get her hands on a dragon and angel, even if she lacked her bracelet.

"So you wish to bring further disrupt to my plan by going undercover at the one place Security has no control over?" Roget said with annoyance.

"Not my fault that this city's council are weird and side with whoever has the power." Mina replied.

"How exactly will you go undercover there anyway?" Roget asked.

"I'm going to undercover as a… cleaner."

Arcadia

The Arcadia guards threw Ruri back into a room. The sudden throw made her wake up once she hit the floor.

"Hey! What happened?!" Ruri questioned. She looked around and nothing was out of sort but she hadn't checked behind her. She looked and there was Yugo lying on his bed.

"Would you mind keeping it down?!" Yugo shouted. Ruri took a step back in shock.

"Who are you?!" Ruri yelled.

"I'm Yugo….. and you look like….. RIN! YOU CHANGED HAIR COLOUR! "

"Rin?!" Ruri said. Yugo leapt forward and Ruri looked surprised. "I don't know what you mean, sorry!" Ruri said innocently Yugo fell face down on the floor.

"Okay…. not Rin…." Yugo said to himself.

"My name is Ruri. I'm sorry!" Ruri hugged Yugo to say sorry and Yugo blushed for a millisecond before breaking it up.

"Ruri….. are you one of those lookalike things?" Yugo said.

"Um… yeah. You look like my friend Yuto; we come from the Xyz Dimension."

"Xyz? Well what are you doing here in Synchro? Did Academia chase you?" Yugo replied.

"Well my friend Yuto escaped from there and thanks to a girl who helped him… we came here to get away from them. Where are we?"

"This is Arcadia." Yugo said.

"That Physic Dueling place?!" Ruri gasped.

"That one yes…. and I presume we're in a whole heap of trouble!"

Night Time - Arcadia

"This is stupid." Mina thought as she walked down the Arcadia hallway with a cleaning trolley. She was in blue overalls and boots with yellow gloves on.

She walked past a door and as she continued up the hallway, the door opened with Euridice and Aki. Mina looked back and seemingly panicked inside.

"It's a couple of weeks before the Friendship Cup; I'll make sure we send you the reports of all the entrants." Euridice said.

"You won't have to; I'll just destroy the victor as usual as well as the Exhibition game duel." Aki replied.

"Well I admire your confidence." Euridice looked at the floor and then at Mina. "You there! Show me your face!" Mina's face picked up with horror. She slowly turned around as she reached for a tazer hidden within her shopping trolley.

"Yes…. Lady Divine….." Mina said with gritted teeth, she hated calling her that.

"Are you new? I've never seen you before?" Euridice asked.

"Yeah the old cleaner…. died." Mina had no idea what she was saying and just came out with whatever popped into her head.

"Hm, very well…. you've not done a good job, I expect better." Euridice walked off with Aki. Mina looked relived.

Mina walked a bit further and pulled out radar, scanner machine from her trolley. It read different energy levels, the same ones Euridice had been monitoring. It showed a map of the building.

"This can't be right… it's reading two dragons? But they caught three?! Unless…. unless a pair… merged?" Mina thought. "I better go after the one energy signal… and hopefully the Xyz angel is nearby as well." Mina took her tazer and departed from the trolley.

.

Yuzu, Mercy and Ruka all appeared in an Arcadia hallway via a teleport effect. The three looked around.

"How did you teleport….?" Yuzu said.

"I tapped into one of my Monsters… only because Mercy knew where we could go, could we teleport to a safe place." Ruka added.

"This stuff makes my head hurt…" Yuzu replied.

"I just hope my powers appear soon…" Mercy said.

"They will." Ruka replied. "Now, we will need to split up and find the guys as we said."

"Yes." Yuzu and Mercy replied.

"Send a message to the other once you do." Ruka added. The three all split up and went a different way. "You have Martha's smoke bombs to knock the guards out."

A little later Yuzu turned around a hallway and saw the heavy guard presence. Thankfully there was no-one near her.

Yuzu took out the small smoke bombs which Ruka had given her. The same ones which were used to wipe the minds and knock out Security before. Ironically they were former Security items which were stolen and sold on the black market.

"Hope these wor-" But before Yuzu could throw them, she saw a cleaner jump between all the guards, knocking them out with tazers. "What on earth?!"

Mina bent down and grabbed some keys. She looked in the distance and waved to Yuzu who was peaking. Yuzu walked out.

"Who, who are you?!" Yuzu said.

"I'm an ally; I'm Mina, a friend of Ruri!" Mina said.

"Ruri?! She's here as well?!"

"Yes!"

"How'd you find me…?!" Yuzu said.

"Just luck!" Mina replied. "Now let's get our friends out!"

Ruri & Yugo Cell

Ruri was pushing different bricks on the wall, trying to find a way out.

"It's no good." Yugo said as he lay on the bed.

"We have to try." Ruri replied as she continued. The two heard the door lock opening and Ruri and Yugo prepared. Yugo quickly leapt up.

The door key opened and there was Mina and Yuzu. Ruri and Yugo looked at them in shock.

"Mina?! And…. you're that girl from Standard… Yuzu!" Ruri gasped.

"Long time no see Ruri." Yuzu said. "And hi again, Yugo."

"RIN!" Yugo leapt forward and Yuzu looked annoyed. She slammed his face with the fan which shocked Ruri and Mina alike.

"Hey, you don't need to be violent with him!" Ruri pleaded.

"Okay let's leave the… whatever the hell that was alone and get out of here." Mina said. Yuzu hit her duel disk and a signal was sent.

"Yes, I have a get out route." Yuzu said.

"Well I do as well…" Mina replied. "We should go different ways to avoid all being in the same place. They could capture us all then."

"Good idea Mina." Ruri said. "You take Yugo."

"Okay. Let's meet up at Martha's." Yuzu said.

"Martha's?" Yugo said. "You was there?!"

"I'll explain later!" Yuzu said.

"Fine but we need my D-Wheel first!" Yugo said. "Ringo!"

"Rin.. go?" Mina said. "You mean those stupid bikes?!"

"D-Wheel's are not bikes and not stupid!" Yugo hit back. "We need it and I'm not leaving without it!"

"Fine!" Mina said. "Let's go!"

"Good luck!" Ruri said. Mina looked back with a smile.

Ruri Yuzu

Ruri and Yuzu made their wall around a corridor, still avoiding the guards. However as they got near the spot where Yuzu entered, a surprise figure emerged for the two girls. It was Raito.

"Who are you?!" Yuzu said.

"I'm a Arcadia student, Raito and you're taking away our test subject… I guess that is now two people including you pinky!" Raito said.

"Guess we need to duel him…" Ruri said.

"Yeah." Yuzu said.

"But we've never dueled with each other….!" Ruri added.

"Just follow Ruri, I know we barley know each other but…. we will have to gain that through this duel!"

"How touching!" said Raito as all three activated their duel disks.

"We shall share a field!" Yuzu said. "And also here comes my Action Field! Theatre of Hope!"

"Action Field what?!" Raito said as a theatre materialized on the field, it was bright and had many columns.

"Action Fields… I kinda know about these." Ruri said.

"Just follow my lead." Yuzu said. "Duel!"

Turn 1

Ruri/Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 5 Hand: 5

Raito LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"Yuzu, I'll start first." Ruri exclaimed while Yuzu nodded back with her head. "When I have no monsters in the field I can Special Summon to Lyrilusc - Turquoise Warbler and when this is summoned to the field I can summon another Lyrilusc from my hand, I choose Lyrilusc - Cobalt Sparrow!"

Lyrilusc - Turquoise Warbler 100 ATK / 100 DEF / Wind / Level 1 / Winged Beast / Effect

Lyrilusc -Cobalt Sparrow Warbler 0 ATK / 100 DEF / Wind / Level 1 / Winged Beast / Effect

Two little girls dressed as birds appeared in the field. One was yellow while the other was brown. "When Cobalt Sparrow is Special Summoned, I can add another Winged Beast-Type monster to my hand. I choose Lyrilusc - Sapphire Swallow and then I can Special Summon her and another Cobalt Sparrow Warbler from my hand thanks to its effect!"

Lyrilusc - Sapphire Swallow 100 ATK / 0 DEF / Wind / Level 1 / Winged Beast / Effect

Lyrilusc - Cobalt Sparrow Warbler 0 ATK / 100 DEF / Wind / Level 1 / Winged Beast / Effect

"Now I will build the Network overlay with Turquioise and Cobalt!" Both monsters became energy to enter an energy portal in the form of a vortex on the floor. "Birds with beautiful wings! Gather on the battlefield and take brilliant flight! Xyz Summon! Dance in the sky! Rank one! Lyrical Luscinia - Assembly Nightingale!"

Lyrical Luscinia - Assembly Nightingale 0 ATK / 0 DEF / Wind / Rank 1 / Winged Beast / XYZ

This woman was different from the others, for example she was much bigger with blue feathers in her hand, besides other bright colours. At the same time she highlighted a brilliant golden slope in her neck.

"I will go back to reconstruct the Overlay Network with Sapphire Swallow and my second Cobalt Sparrow!" The same process happened again and both monsters became energy. "Birds with beautiful wings! Gather on the battlefield and take brilliant flight! Xyz Summon! Dance in the sky! Rank one! Lyrical Luscinia - Recital Starling!"

Lyrical Luscinia - Starling Recital 0 ATK / 0 DEF / Wind / Rank 1 / Winged Beast / XYZ

The new creature was similar to Assembly Nithingale but its colours were darker and had stars on its wings. "Because of the number of overlay units that Assembly Nightingale has, it gains 100 attack points."

Assembly Nightingale ATK: 0 = 200

"And thanks to the effect of Recital Starling I can choose a monster from the field and it gains 300 attack points for each Overlay Unit that has Recital. I choose my Nightingale."

Assembly Nightingale ATK: 200 + 600 = 800

"Incredible, two Xyz Summons in the same turn, well done Ruri". The Xyz duelist blushed a bit for the compliment. "Ruri remember that you can use the Action cards as an advantage." Yuzu explained and at that time Ruri looked around the stage to see if she could find one on the field.

"I can see one but it's on top of one of the columns. I don't know how I'll get there?! "

"Command your monsters to give you a push." Yuzu explained but there was doubt in Ruri's face.

"Do you think it's possible that I fall?"

"Yes, but if you do not try, we may also lose our only advantage over him. But if you do not want to do it, that's fine. "Yuzu explained calmly. Ruri breathed deeply and commanded Nightingale to hold her. Nightingale made sure to take Ruri straight over the columns and that she could take the Action Card. Upon returning to the field with Yuzu, Ruri slipped from Nightingale's hands. Yuzu reacted quickly and tried to cushion her fall but Ruri fell straight towards her.

"Ah...Yuzu?" Ruri wondered.

"Below you….." The Xyz duelist looked at her Standard counterpart and tried to help her stand up, while apologizing for what happened.

"I'm sorry…!"

"Don't worry, for your first time, you did it well. It was also my fault for pressing you. "Yuzu replied as he raised her hand for Ruri to bump into them. Although at first I did not know how to react the XYZ duelist in the end I accept.

"It's an Action Spell; do you think it will help us now?"

"No, but it's a good start." Yuzu nodded her head to Ruri.

"Then I'll put two cards face down and finish my turn."

Nice demonstration of friendship but they will need more than that to beat me." Raito applauded while the girls showed discomfort after his words.

"We will do it and we will recover our friends."

"Haha ... that's what you believe!" Raito replied as his eyes went to the girls. His eyes started to turn pink, which made both girls uncomfortable.

"Ruri!"

Ruri heard a familiar voice but looked everywhere but found no one called her.

"Shun?"

"Ruri, did something happen?" Yuzu asked her counterpart.

"It's nothing ..."

Turn 2

Ruri/Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 1 Hand: 5

Raito LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"Draw!" I'll start by playing One for One and send Mary: The Serafin in my hand to summon Didymus the Seventh Apostle from my deck." Raito's move allowed him to take a monster from his deck which he summoned to the field. This was a little monk dressed in old blue clothes and a blue cap with a red ruby on his forehead.

Didymus the Seventh Apostle 0 ATK / 300 DEF / Light / Level 1 / Magician / Effect

"Why is he in attack if he has 0 attack points?" Yuzu asked but Raito just mocked the question.

"Do not worry, soon you will know why! I leave two cards face down and I finish my turn there."

Turn 3

Yuzu/Ruri LP: 4000 Hand: 5 Hand: 1

Raito LP: 4000: Hand: 3

"Yuzu, we must be careful, we still do not know what kind of moves he can make with that monster." Ruri explained, but Yuzu had her mind elsewhere because she heard the voice of someone familiar to her as well.

"Dad…"

"Yuzu!" Ruri shouted.

"Yes, I'm sorry I heard something and we should be careful. Draw, I will begin by setting my Pendulum scale with my new warriors! With the servant of the dead my Queen Knight: The Servant of Nephthys and the protective mother of life serve me, Queen Knight: The Servant of Horus." Two new columns materialized. One of them had a dark-skinned woman dressed in golden armour that represented an eagle with her case in the shape of one and feathers on her skirt and a bow. The other was a woman in dark clothing with pale skin and black hair; she also wore a blue tunic.

Nephthys 2 – 9 Horus

"Now I will perform a Pendulum Summon from my hand! Enchanting melody echoing in the heaven. Awaken the virtuous sleeping. Come forth! Level eight! Mozarta the Melodious Pendulum Maestra and Heavenly Warrior of incredible abilities, come to my aid and fight by my side. Come forth! Level 7! Queen Knight Pendulum Warrior!" Shot down was a fairy with flashes and a red dress singing with her beautiful melody. The other was a warrior with the same colour armour and pink hair. As the two appeared on the field, they bowed to Ruri and Yuzu. Both girls looked surprised.

"Yuzu this is normal?"

Queen Knight the Pendulum Warrior: 2500 ATK / 2000 DEF / Light / Level 7 / P.S.4 / Warrior /

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

Even Raito took interest in the situation and was surprised by the situation. "Interesting, apparently your psychic abilities allow you to have a kind of connection with your cards and this new summon…" Yuzu did not answer; she just stared at him, irritated by the situation and prepared her next move.

"Pendulum Warrior, Celestial Slash". The sword of the warrior glowed with a pink aura and charged forward with monstrous rapidity. She prepared to give her thrust against the apostle. But when it came to strike, a shield of energy surrounded the monster of Raito.

"What, how?!"

"I activate the effect of my Trap, the Last-Minute Blessing card!" That allows me to bring back from my graveyard to Mary: The Serafin, whose effect protects all my monsters on the field." A lady who wore white and had six wings on his back emerged into the field. "Ah yes, another thing, when I receive damage from the effects of cards or battle, the effect of Didymus is activated that causes that damage to increase my life points!"

Mary: The Divine Serafin 0 ATK / 1000 DEF / Light / Level 3 / Magician / Tuner

Raito 4000 + 2500 = 7500

"And a reminder if you think of destroying Mary, Last-Minute Blessing card allows her not to be destroyed in battle." Raito explained. This only made Yuzu angry. "I'll finish my turn."

Turn 4:

Yuzu and Ruri LP: 2200 Hand: 2 Hand: 1

Raito LP: 7500 Hand: 3

"Draw. Hey pink I think you should calm down a bit it does not look good on you to walk the whole day angry." Raito's comments only made Yuzu more angry.

"Stop bothering her and continue with your turn!" Ruri defended her Standard counterpart.

"Hey calm little chick, it's just a little joke between us friends… at least the other boy was more entertaining." Raito replied.

"Another boy, you mean Yuya right?" Yuzu asked, Raito just laughed after the question.

"The tomato boy, Minerva was responsible for destroying him. Although you should have heard the nonsense that he said!"

"IF YOU DID SOMETHING TO HIM, I SWEAR NOT TO FORGIVE ANYONE OF YOU!"Yuzu's scream was heard throughout the field and expanding an aura appeared around her.

"Well that's how I like girl; it's easier for me to crush you in that way! Now I will summon a second Mary to the field."

Mary: The Divine Serafin 0 ATK / 1000 DEF / Light / Level 3 / Magician / Tuner

"I will tune my second level three Mary with level one Didymus to perform a Synchro Summon!" Mary became three green hoops of energy that passed over Didymus. "Guardian of the gates of heaven it is time for you to judge those who dare to ask to enter your gates, eat forth level four Iona guardian of the heavenly gates!"

3 + 1 = 4

Iona guardian of the heavenly gates 0 ATK / 1500 DEF / Light / Level 4 / Magician / Synchro

A new creature was manifested on Raito's field. This was a small blue angel with three mechanical wings at each end, and it had no legs but a triangular prosthesis.

"Then I will activate my Trap Card Resurface of the New Apostle, which allows me to summon a new Didymus to the field from my deck every time a Light Monster is sent to the graveyard for being used as Synchro Material."

Didymus the Seventh Apostle 0 ATK / 300 DEF / Light / Level 1 / Magician / Effect

"Then I will use the Continuous Spell Card from my hand, Harmed Healer, which allows me to do twice as much damage each time I use a burn effect!" Raito replied as he prepared his play. "Then I will activate the Iona effect that allows me to cause 300 points of damage for each Light Monster on my field including him and remember thanks to my Continuous Card, the damage will be doubled!" Iona raised her wings which gave off different energy attacks that hit both duelists.

Yuzu and Ruri: 4000 - 1800 = 2200

"I will activate my Automatic Recharge Action Card! If I suffer damage this turn, I can increase the attack points of one of my Monsters from the damage I received and I choose my Assembly Nightingale!"

Assembly Nightingale ATk: 800 + 1800 = 2600

"Congratulations, but that will not do you much good if you cannot break my impenetrable defence and my effects. I leave a face-down card and finish my turn." Raito explained as his eyes shone again making the girls uncomfortable.

"How do you do that with your eyes?" Yuzu asked.

"Do not worry soon you will know. But it would be nice for me to explain a little, me and my girlfriend Minerva, we are a class of Psychic Duelists different from the rest. Our powers allow us to manipulate people in different ways, she can influence others fear and kill their hopes from within." Raito explained.

"And what can you do?" Yuzu asked Raito as he put his hands on his head.

"I can make the wishes of others come true!"

""Why love someone who only enjoys watching others suffer?!" Ruri said but this only caused a smile on Raito's face

"Because I'm the only one who can make her happy!"

Turn 5

Yuzu and Ruri LP: 4000 Hand: 2 Hand: 1

Raito LP: 7500 Hand: 0

"Draw ! I cannot do anything with this and I cannot attack it either because that will make your life points increase. I leave a card face down and finish my turn. "Ruri finished her play. Yuzu became worried about her Xyz counterpart.

"Ruri we must not lose faith."

"I know."

Turn 6

Yuzu and Ruri LP: 2200 Hand: 2 Hand: 1

Raito LP: 7500 Hand: 0

"Draw! When I have three or more Light Monsters on my field, I can summoned this to the field, Surge Maiden of the Bleeding Heart!" A new monster materialized in the field of Raito. It was a warrior in white armour with a huge axe in hand.

Maiden Heart Bleeding 2300 ATK / 0 DEF / Light / Level 5 / Magician / Effect

"I Attack your Recital Starling with my Maiden." The Maiden split the Ruri monster in two.

"Because of the effect of Recital, you would have taken the damage I would have received… but because of your monster.. your lifepoints raise."

Raito LP: 7500 + 2300 = 9800

The girls looked with surprise at the amount of life points that had accumulated, Raito only smiled at the situation of the duelists.

"And that's s not all! When Maiden destroys a Monster on the field, she gains 300 attack points and can attack all your Monsters!"

Maiden of the Heart Bleeding: 2300 + 300 = 2600

"No..." Both partners were surprised and their reaction could not be worse as each one was beginning to lose the faith to win.

"I destroy your Pendulum Warrior with my Maiden." Maiden and Pendulum Warrior struggled with their weapons but in the end the pressure of the axe of the Monster of Raito won.

Yuzu and Ruri LP: 2200-200 = 2000

Maiden of the Heart Bleeding: 2600 + 300 = 2900

"I Destroy your Mozarta." Poor Mozarta couldn't do anything against the power of Maiden's axe Yuzu was trying to locate an Action Card but could not see any.

Yuzu and Ruri LP: 2000 - 300 = 1700

"The effect of Assembly Nightingale allows her to not be destroyed in battle and for all the damage I suffer to be reduced to zero!" Ruri remarked, meanwhile Raito watched in frustration that he only lasted a few seconds when he remembered something.

"Remember that I still have the effect of my Iona that can end this and another thing as well! I will activate my Trap Card Royal Decree; this denies the activation of all the Trap Cards on the field." The girls could only watch their play, but Yuzu's eyes saw an Action card.

"Ruri, I need your monster to push me, now!" Ruri nodded Yuzu's claim before and asked her Nightingale to raise her.

"I activate the effect of Iona, Sacred Light". Iona shot from all sides and when Yuzu could finally take the Action Card and activate it, an energy shot hit her and threw her to the ground, Ruri could only see with despair as one of the shots sent her to the floor as well.

Yuzu and Ruri LP: 1700-1200 = 500

"How?!" Raito reacted surprised by the movement of the girls. Something had happened.

"The Action Card that we activated, Sacrifice of Last Moment, allows me to destroy a Monster on the field and at the same time reduce by half the damage that it receives in battle!" Raito at first was annoyed but then began to laugh frantically and then finish his turn. "

"What's so funny?" Ruri got up from the impact and asked Raito.

"This!" Raito's eyes shone again and this time leaving the girls confused.

Miami City Stadium

"Yuzu!" Shouted an adult man with red hair. Yuzu woke up after hearing it.

"Dad ... what happened?"

"You slept during the duel of Yuya and Yusho. You overslept." Yuzu looked at her father for a second before he started to burst into tears and start to hug him.

"Dad... please tell me this it's not a dream!"

Heartland

"Hey, Ruri, you missed the duel of Shark and Yuto." A girl with purple hair glasses was talking as she tried to wake Ruri gently with her hands

"SAYAKA!" Ruri hugged her while crying. "How can you be here? You and Allen were sacrificed with Kaito to save the survivors." Ruri looked at Sayaka for a few seconds and then knew the truth. "This cannot be true ... this isn't true?"

"Whoah, you're the first to notice this fast, even Aki took 5 minutes to realize." Raito was sitting in a tree watching the situation as Sayaka's image disappeared, Ruri only glared at him.

"That's how you win the duels, coward?!"

"No, but it's always fun to do this, Minerva loves it. Even though you're interesting, only those who have let the pain define them can come out that fast. "

"Where's Yuzu?" Ruri ordered, Raito just laughed as he pointed his finger up.

"Crying and letting her bigger desires manipulate her."

"YUZU, YOU ARE BEING TRICKED!" Ruri shouted loudly for her counterpart to hear her, Raito just laughed at Ruri's actions.

"She cannot hear you right now; she's being manipulated by her desires"

Yuzu still hugged Shuzo and could not let go, she could hear Ruri and her bracelet shone, although she knew it was an illusion, she could not let go.

"Dad... .. when I was little, I always loved how you taught other children about duels ... Even though Yusho had disappeared ... ..you are one of the reasons why I decided to become a duelist." Shuzo was flattered by his daughter's words and just broke away from her to wipe away her tears.

"Thanks Yuzu" "But none of this is true...!" Shuzo looked confused at his daughter as everything began to disappear around her. "I love you Dad."

Ruri was starting to get out of the Raito-influenced trance while Yuzu was standing motionless with her head down.

"Yuzu ..." Ruri said as he put she hands on his partner's shoulders.

"What the hell are you guys?! How could you escape my illusion?" Raito asked and at the same moment Yuzu wiped the tears from her eyes, her gaze became defiant.

"You know what you just did right?"

Turn 7

Yuzu and Ruri LP: 500 Hand: 2 Hand: 1

Raito LP: 9800 Hand: 0

"Draw!" Yuzu exclaimed as both girls were surrounded by an aura of different colours. "You used our love for our loved ones as a way to perform your dirty tricks!" Yuzu's extra deck shone brightly and both counterparts looked at each other knowing what the next step was. "I will Pendulum Summon, return from the extra deck my loyal warrior, Pendulum Warrior!"

Queen Knight the Pendulum Warrior: 2500 ATK / 2000 DEF / Light / Level 7 / P.S.4 / Warrior /

"Then I will use the Pendulum effect of Queen Knight: The Servant of Nephthys that allows me to select an XYZ monster from the cemetery and summon it to the field, Recital Starling emerges!" A purple seal was opened with many words written on it, bringing back Recital.

Lyrical Luscinia - Starling Recital 0 ATK / 0 DEF / Wind / Rank 1 / Winged Beast / XYZ

"Now I can make his rank equal the level of a monster he selects in the field and select my loyal Pendulum Warrior!"

Starling Recital: Rank 7

"Then I will activate the Pendulum effect of Queen Knight: The Servant of Horus! I can select a Xyz Monster and a monster that is on the field and give it a level and at the same time it can become the same type as the selected monster!"

Starling Recital: Level 7: Type: Warrior

"Thanks to the power of the union of me and Ruri, we will put an end to this. I build the Overlay Network with both monsters!" Both monsters became energy to enter an energy portal in the form of a vortex on the floor."Fallen warrior of the ancient world arises once again to your revolution and serves on my side, come forth rank seven Queen Knight: The Revolutionary Xyz Black Paladin". Yuzu uttered those words as a great explosion occurred.

Queen Knight: The Revolutionary XYZ Black Paladin 3000 ATK / 2500 DEF / Light / Rank 7 / Warrior / P.S.10 / Xyz / Pendulum

The Monster was revealed to a new knight never before seen. This one had dark huge armour with two swords in both hands. While on his back he had two metal wings that radiated energy. The Monster landed between both girls and caused terror to Raito.

"When Black Paladin is summoned using a Xyz Monster, this can deny the effects of all the cards in the field except itself and at the same time destroy all the monsters of level eight or lower on your field! Gate of Babylon!" Black Paladin moved his hands to give a click from his fingers. Different energy portals opened showing different weapons. When he pointed his hands at Raito's monsters, the swords began to fly and attack all the monsters.

"HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE, HOW CAN SOMEONE CAN EARN SO MUCH POWER?" After all the monsters were destroyed from Raito's field, Black Paladin began to unfold his sword, which began to emanate a pink energy.

"After destroying all the monsters in the field, I can detach an Overlay Unit and my monster gains a thousand attack points for each destroyed monster and can attack twice!"

Paladin OU: 1

Queen Knight: The Revolutionary XYZ Black Paladin 3000 + 4000 = 7000

One of the Black Paladin swords began to emanate purple energy prepared for the first attack.

"My knight of the revolution, Revolutionary Final Slash!" The first attack sent Raito flying to the other side of the field.

Raito: 9800-7000 = 2800

Black Paladin used his sword to hit the floor and send a huge wave of energy that cut the surface in two leaving Raito even more badly injured after the second attack.

Raito: 2800-7000 = 0

The Action Field faded and Yuzu and Ruri looked at each other. "Let's find Yuya and Yuto!" Ruri said.
