A/N

Thanks to Romadrox8975 for the first four turns of the duel script. His great ideas for this chapter and cards. This story wouldn't be the same without him.


Roget backed off as Barrett and Sora entered the room. Both looked imposing as Sora calmly ate a lollipop.

"Roget… nice to see you." Sora said.

"Sora…. what are you doing here?" Roget said.

"I'm the Synchro Commander…. didn't you read the memo?" Sora smirked.

"Of course I did! I just didn't expect you to arrive with muscle…."

"Barrett is just a guard, nothing else." Sora looked at the seat of Roget's office and jumped on it and spun around. He saw the chess board and picked up the Knight piece. He observed it. "You did always like your stupid games!"

"What about dueling?" Roget smirked.

"You know that dueling is more than a game, it's a weapon thanks to Real Solid Vision!" Sora replied.

"I fought in the Fusion war." Barrett said. "The capabilities with a weapon is nothing compared to dueling."

"Where were you during the Fusion war?" Sora asked, taunting.

"I was a fighter!" Roget hit back.

"Really? Barrett was a fighter, I was only young while you Roget… I heard you were a coward… you hid away in a faraway house!"

"I serve Academia now! Why are you here?!" Roget hit back.

"Where's Dennis!" Sora yelled.

"I don't know!" Roget yelled.

"Give it up or I'll summon Obelisk Force to here to search!" Barrett walked forward and grabbed Roget. He slammed him against a wall. Roget took a minute before smirking and then laughing.

"What is it, punk?!" Barrett yelled.

"I would be careful if I was you!" Roget said. "Don't want Leo damaging me!"

"Leo sent me!" Sora said.

"Fine….!" An alarm went off in the office and Sora as well as Barrett looked around.

"Turn it off!" Sora yelled.

"Did you really think the Security leader could just be assaulted without back up?! There's a trigger system in my coat! Only I can touch it!" A loud explosion came from the hall as smoke filled the room.

Loud footsteps could be heard and Barrett and Sora saw a group of Security officers in the room along with a familiar face. It was Dennis of all people. Somehow he was with Security.

"Dennis?!" Sora yelled.

"Hey Sora!" Dennis replied. "Funny thing this…. we're now on different sides!"

"What?!" Sora said.

"Mr Sora!" Barrett grabbed Sora and hit his duel disk. Both teleported away.

"Now my cover is blown…." Roget said. "Dennis, time to put you to work. Find Mina, Sergey must be rebuilt!"

City – Boardroom

Inside a high tower above City, was a boardroom which oversaw the entire city. There they could see both Tops and Commons. The glory of the city and the horrible looking slums below.

A man with short hair and a short beard looked out the window. He wore a simple brown suit with red tie.

Inside the room were two others sitting at the table. There was one male and a woman.

"This break out in the Facility not good." said the bearded man. He was Hideo Izayoi, Aki's father and a member of the council.

"What about Roget and his…. handling of the Facility." said another male. He looked like a clown and was called Jaeger.

"He assured me it won't happen again." Mr Izayoi replied.

"And what about the Friendship Cup?" the female asked. She wore a white blouse under a gray-blue jacket with heeled shoes. She was Mikage.

"Roget has agreed to bring it forward in date." Mr Izayoi replied.

"City shall not fall to such… filth." Jaeger said.

"We have a duty to maintain that balance, especially with elections coming up." Mikage said.

"And we will win another term, don't worry." Mr Izayoi said. "But if this happens again…. someone will have to pay."

"It seems you're referring to a certain traitor….."

"Who is it?!" The three all got up and saw a bulky male kick down the door. In the hallway were numerous knocked out guards. It was Barrett who entered first. Sora entered behind.

"Who are you?!" Mikage yelled.

"I'm after the head of the council… which one of you is it?" Sora asked.

"That's…. me." Mr Izayoi said.

"Good." Sora replied. "Barrett… do your thing." The other two looked concerned as Barrett calmly grabbed Izayoi. Izayoi was unable to struggle out of Barrett's arms. The other two council members just watched as Sora calmly shut the door behind Barrett as they left.

Martha's

Yuzu sat on a step and felt a sense come from behind her. Pendulum Warrior emerged.

"What is it?" Yuzu asked.

"Well since the seal on everyone is wearing down due to your powers getting stronger… we can communicate more." Pendulum Warrior said.

"But what do you want?" Yuzu replied.

"I just want you to know that if you fail and Ciel was wrong… I'll have to try and put the dragons down."

"Then we won't fail." Yuzu replied. "Can't you see killing them is wrong?"

"Some things are too evil to live… no redeeming them."

"Well we'll disagree there then." Pendulum Warrior was about to vanish. "Wait! What's your relationship with Ciel? How did you know each other?"

"As an angel… Ciel saved me after my Mother was killed by a human tribe… they hunted down my Mother…. Ciel sensed me in danger and saved me by scaring them off…."

"And that explains why… you distrust me as a human?"

"I'd rather not talk about this. But I not distrust you because of that, is because you are so loud." Warrior disappeared, before Yuzu shouted.

A little while later the entire groups were in the yard once more.

"So what is our next move?" Yuzu said.

"It's clear; I need to get Ray back!" Yuzar replied with a firm tone.

"We have no idea where she is and you won't have any chance of getting to Academia without being captured." Mina replied.

"We need to get more allies." Rin said. "But we can't do that with all that Synchro has going on."

"Arcadia… Security…. Academia…. are all out to get us." Yuya added.

"And we shall stop them all!" Yugo said as he stood up, Rin looked at him funny.

As the group worked out, a siren was heard across City. Everyone looked confused.

"What is this?!" Ruri asked.

"This is… the emergency alarm!" Rin said.

"Something to do with Security?" Mina asked.

"Yeah, we need to get inside!" Yugo replied.

"I shall stand watch." Tsukikage said as he disappeared.

Roget Office

"One of the council got kidnapped?!" Roget yelled in panic. "It's Sora!"

"What shall we do Director?" asked a member of staff on a holoscreen.

"Send out a full alert of course! Get those scummy Commons looking and if we don't find him within an hour, marital law will occur!"

"Yes sir!" The screen disappeared. Roget took a piece from the chess board.

"My officers will search Tops…. no way could Sora be working with Arcadia however…. I could use this to shut those dumb freaks down!" Roget thought with a big smirk.

Martha's

The group all watched the T.V, Martha was watching the kids in another room. They saw Roget announce the news before the broadcast ended.

"Martial law?! How unjust?!" Shingo said. "I've done nothing wrong?!"

"Welcome to life in Synchro." Rin said as she stood up.

"Martial… law?" Mina thought. "Just what I didn't need!"

"Security will be searching down here as well." Rin said. "We might get spotted…"

"Tsukikage will stop them, no worries." Yuzu said. "We need to find this guy."

"Why?!" Shingo said.

"Because we need allies, Shingo." Yuya replied.

"Plus it's not right to not help!" Yuzu said. "Right Rin, Yugo?"

"Um…." Yugo paused.

"The council are terrible." Rin said. "They've not changed a single thing from the last council… and the one before and the one before….!"

"Why is it like that?" Yuto asked.

"Ever since we were born… and before that City has been divided…. only Tops are allowed to vote…. and of course the people who stand for elections wish to keep the divide…." Rin explained.

"No votes for Commons?! That's disgusting." Ruri said.

"Not just that… each time elections come around…. each time, the people standing for elections increase their policies to make it harder for Commons… that way they become more popular to win votes…" Yugo said.

"I have a feeling I know who got kidnapped… Hideo Izayoi…." Ruka explained.

"Hideo Izayoi?!" Yuzu said.

"The… witch?!" Mercy replied.

"Yeah." Ruka explained. "Security hates Arcadia and if they announced it was Hiedo… Aki would be burning with rage… that's not good."

"Regardless we need to save him!" Yuzu said.

"Fine." Rin begrudgedly agreed. "We could convince him to change."

"Who might've done it?! Surely Roget should've explained?" Mina said.

"I bet he didn't explain so that rumours could start… of Arcadia." Mercy replied. "Roget taking down Arcadia could be done due to public pressure."

Outside everyone heard a scuffle happen. It sounded like a fight.

"Wait here." Mina said. As she looked out the window, she saw Sora and Tsukikage staring at each other. Mina froze.

"What is it Mina?!" Yuzu said. She got no answer and Yuzu along with everyone else ran outside to see Tsukikage face head to head with Sora.

"SORA!" Yuya yelled.

"You know this guy?!" Mercy said.

"Yes…" Yuzu's fist shook with rage but thanks to her experience with Kaiba, she was able to cool it. The pain of seeing the three You Show kids being carded by Sora hurt as much as ever. "He was used as a spy on me and Yuya back in Standard!"

"And he carded the kids!" Yuya yelled. "We meet again Sora!"

"Yuya, he was brainwashed to serve!" Yuzu said.

"I don't care; he was still a spy before that!"

"I did actually feel something for you two…. but thankfully I was corrected by the Professor and the Doctor… that old me is long dead!" Sora declared with a huge grin.

"How did you find us?!" Yuto yelled. "Academia scum!"

"As I can move quickly… it was only a matter of time… your ninja friend gave it away when he jumped on my position!" Sora yelled.

"What do you want?!" Yuto yelled.

"The dragons and the bracelets of course!"

"Not happening!" Yugo yelled.

"Really? Well I kidnapped the councilman, if you wish for me to free him, come with me!" Sora replied.

"You?!" Yuzu said. "No way we would go with you also release him now!"

"You're not in a position to bargain Yuzu!" Sora replied. "I kidnapped him so Security would be busy rather than look for me!"

"Why would they look for you?" Mercy asked.

"No idea…." Sora teased. "Now if you want him to live, obey my orders!"

"Never!" Yuya replied. "Plus you're planning on turning all into a card anyway!"

"Oh I won't card him… my assistant Barrett is waiting to… you know… end his life!"

"Barrett?!" Yuto said. "I dueled him when leaving Academia… he's strong….."

"Sora!" Yuzu said as she walked in front of the group. "Duel me, and if you win, you get the bracelet! I know you need for me to either give it up or for you to beat me in a duel to gain it! So accept my offer!"

"Fine!" Sora replied.

"But only if you free the councilman once I win!" Yuzu said.

"Once? You're much more confident then when we last met Yuzu…. when I carded those cards…. Commander Edo… carded your dad…..!" Yuzu gripped her fists and she felt the pain return. Yuzu took a breath in and calmed down.

"That won't work anymore!" Yuzu declared. A figure emerged next to Yuzu, only she could see it. It was Pendulum Warrior.

"Not bad girl, you're much better with your anger now. Reserve it when we sweep the floor with the blue dwarf." Warrior said.

"For once, I agree!" Yuzu said as she activated her duel disk.

Mina inside was still scared that Sora would blow her cover as being interested in using the angels and dragons for her own needs. Mina saw a backdoor to the house. Mina needed to think fast.

"Yuzar, Yuto!" Mina whispered, the two looked behind along with Shingo.

"What?" Yuto said.

"We need to get away, we can't have you two being here with Sora… I will do the same to the rest after you're hiding!"

"Right!" Shingo said. "I shall protect all of you!"

"Fine, you come too." Mina said with annoyance. Yuzar and Yuto nodded. All three boys quickly backtracked away. A second later all had disappeared; Ruri looked back and walked into the house.

"Where's Yuto… and Mina?!" Ruri asked herself. She found a note on the table.

"I'll be back to save you guys in a while – Mina"

"She moved the boys!" Ruri said. "Nice thinking Mina." Ruri looked on the back of the note, it was a picture. It was a female with a younger looking Mina.

Back at the duel, Yuzu looked at Sora. She wondered how things had gotten this far with her and the Academia solider.

"May I remind you Sora I beat you before! That'll happen again!" Yuzu hit back.

"Not this time!" Sora smirked as he quickly vanished from sight. Yuzu felt a sense on her wrist, the same happened to Rin. Before both girls could react, they saw their bracelets gone.

"What is this?!" both said. Yuya and the others looked at Sora.

"Sora?!" Yuya yelled.

"These items can only be activated if you either give them willingly… or if I beat you in a duel… something the angels made sure of…. now Yuzu, Rin…. follow me!" Sora quickly disappeared from sight and Yuzu could see him on top of a building nearby.

"Yuzu, it's a trap!" Yuya said.

"He has my bracelet and Rin's, I need to go! You guys wait here; you'll be able to watch via my duel disk signal. Tsukikage, I need a lift." Yuzu said. Tsukikage agreed and held onto Yuzu.

"Get them back!" Rin said.

"We're waiting for you!" Ruri said. Yuzu nodded and Tsukikage disappeared with Yuzu in-hand.

Rooftop

Yuzu landed on the roof with Tsukikage, they saw a shocking sight. It was the councilman in chains next to Barrett.

"Take these, Barrett." Sora threw the two bracelets to Barrett, he caught them.

"Let that man go!" Yuzu said.

"Waste of breath Yuzu, now duel me!" Sora replied. "Also, the ninja guy…. leave!"

"I shall do no such thing!" Tsukikage said, protective of his teammate.

"It's fine Tsukikage." Yuzu said. "I'm not scared of Sora or any of this."

"Very well. Good luck." Tsukikage bowed and teleported away.

"I activate the Action Field Crossover!" Yuzu hit her duel disk and the blue platforms all emerged. The Action Cards spread.

"Thank you, now I'm at an advantage!" Sora yelled.

"You seem confident Sora, let's see then!" Yuzu replied.

"DUEL!" both shouted.

Turn 1:

Yuzu LP: 4000 Hand: 5

Sora LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"I will begin to setting my Pendulum Scale with Fluffal Angel and Edge Imp Cotton Eater." Sora exclaimed while everyone was surprised by the cards he played. Two pillars formed, one with a rubber-like creature with sharp teeth and the other was a small angel with golden hair.

Edge Imp Cotton Eater 1 -Fluffal Angel 8

"Then I will activate Polymerization to fuse Fluffal Penguin and Edge Imp Sabres in my hand!" The Penguin creature joined the metal scissors in a colorful vortex. "Demonic claws, become one with the devil apostle and show us you new powerful form! Fusion Summon! Come out! Be devil that steals freedom and pulls everything into the darkness! Frightfur Kraken!"

Frightfur Kraken 2200 ATK / 3000 DEF / Water / Level 8 / Fiend / Fusion

"He already played his first Fusion Monster, this is not good..." Ruri exclaimed.

"Don't forget the Pendulum Monsters he has on the field... Yuzu has few options," Rin said. The concern for her friend showed.

"Then the effect of Edge Imp Cotton Eater will be activated which allows me to draw a card from my deck every time a Fusion Monster is summoned to the field. Next Fluffal Penguin lets me draw two cards from my deck and then I need to discard one card. I discard Edge Imp Chain. "Sora exclaimed. "When Imp Chain is sent to the graveyard I can add a new Edge Imp to my hand. I add Edge Imp Tomahawk. Then I'll summon it!" A creature with axes like fangs emerged onto the field.

Edge Imp Tomahawk 1800 ATK / 800 DEF / Dark / Level 4 / Fiend / Effect

"I then activate its effect! By discarding Edge Imp Saw, it can cause you 800 damage." The creature sent different axes towards Yuzu. She attempted to dodge them but one was able to hit one of her hairclips, this made everyone scared except Sora who ate a lollipop once more.

Yuzu LP: 4000 - 800 = 3200

"Hey, at least you're lucky...I didn't cut an eye out like what you did to the Commander." Sora teased, Yuzu could only grit her teeth. "Then I'll activate my Continuous Spell Frightfur Factory which via its effect allows me to banish Polymerization in my graveyard and then it allows me to perform another Fusion Summon using Monsters on my field!"

"What?!" Yuzu said in shock.

"I will merge Tomahawk with my Kraken to summon Frightfur Saber-Tooth, show yourself! Wild ghost-cave beast that bars fangs at all! Frightfur Saber Tooth!" Both creatures entered a new vortex and formed a new purple feline stuffed animal.

Frightfur Sabre-Tooth 2400 ATK / 2000 DEF / Dark / Level 8 / Fiend / Fusion

"When Saber-Tooth is Fusion Summoned, I can return a Fritghtfur monster that's in my graveyard. Kraken returned to Sora's field.

Frightfur Kraken 2200 ATK / 3000 DEF / Water / Level 8 / Fiend / Fusion

"Thanks to Saber-Tooth, all my monsters gain 400 attack points and remember that the Pendulum effect of Cotton Eater allows me to give 300 attack points to each of my Fusion monsters!" All of Sora's creatures gained an aura that surrounded them.

Frightfur Kraken ATK: 2200+ 700 = 2900

Frightfur Saber-Tooth ATK: 2400 + 700 = 3100

"I finish my turn." Sora said while everyone was worried about their friend.

"Hopefully Yuzu can defeat him." Ruka said

Turn 2

Sora LP: 4000 Hand: 0

Yuzu LP: 3200 Hand: 5

"Draw!" Yuzu exclaimed. "This will not be enough to beat all your monsters but I don't have another choice." Yuzu thought as her worried eyes peeked out at Mr. Izayoi.

"Concentrate first on defeating your adversary, and then you will find a way to save him." Pendulum Warrior was the one who was speaking as she materialized in front of Yuzu. Yuzu did not even listen to her as she begun to make her move, Warrior noticed this and just rolled her eyes.

"I will begin by setting my Pendulum scale with Dupre and my Agerich." Two new pillars of energy emerged on the field, showing two new singers.

Dupre 1 -Agerich 9

"I will perform a Pendulum Summon, Mozarta the Pendulum Maestra and Bass The Melodious Songtress shall emerge!" Her faithful Mozarta and Bass appeared.

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

"I will activate the Bass' effect. This allows me to decrease the attack and defense points of an opponent's monster to 0, but I must decrease my Bass' attack by half." Bass used her melody to diminish Kraken's power.

Kraken ATK: 0

Bass the Melodious Songstress ATK: 1200

"Bass attack his Kraken!" Bass used her melody to destroy the Kraken, which caused Sora to cover himself upon impact.

Sora LP: 4000-1200 = 2800

"Then Mozarta attacks! But before that, Dupre's Pendulum effect allows me to add Bass' attack to Mozarta!" An aura surrounded Mozarta, causing it to become stronger.

Mozarta the Pendulum Maestra ATK: 1200+ 2600 = 3800

Sora quickly ran between the energy panels and took an Action Card. "I activate Evasion." Sora said as the Mozarta's attack was stopped. Yuzu gritted her teeth.

"I finish my turn with a face-down card."

Mozarta ATK: 2600

Bass ATK: 2400

Turn 3:

Sora LP: 2800 Hand: 0

Yuzu LP: 3200 Hand: 1

"Draw!" Sora smiled at the card he had drawn. "I will activate the Pendulum effect of Fluffal Angel which allows me to return an Edge Imp or Fluffal Monster in my graveyard, but because of that I cannot summon monster from the extra deck except Fusion Monsters. Return my Fluffal Penguin. "The angel played his instrument that caused a new portal to open from the grave.

Fluffal Penguin 1600 ATK / 1100 DEF / Water / Level 4 / Fairy / Effect

"Then I will activate Frightfur Patchwork which allows me to add a Polymerization and an Edge Imp Sabres to my hand! Now I will make anther Fusion Summon with Edge Imp Sabers and Fluffal Penguin!"

Both monsters entered by a vortex while joining.

"Demonic claws, sharp fangs! Become one in the mystic vortex and show us a new form and power! Fusion Summon! Show yourself! Mystical jungle beast that rips everything to shreds! Frightfur Tiger!" A new monster in the shape of a mutilated stuffed tiger appeared roaring in the field of Sora.

Frightfur Tiger 1900 ATK / 1200 DEF / Water / Level 6 / Fiend / Fusion

"Remember that the effect of Cotton and Penguin activates! It allows me to take three cards from my deck but I must discard one due to Penguin's effect. I'll send my Toy Vendor to my graveyard." Sora exclaimed as he completed his play." When Toy Vendor is sent to the graveyard I can add a Fluffal or an Edge Imp from my deck to my hand. Next when Frightfur Tiger is summoned to the field, I can destroy cards equal to the Fusion Materials that were used to summon it. As there were two, I will destroy your two Pendulum cards!"

The tiger took out his claws and with them, managed to destroy both of Yuzu's Pendulums.

"Remember that the other effect of Tiger allows me to increase the attack points of all Frightfur Monsters by 300 attack points and thanks to my other cards, my attack will become more powerful!" An aura grew among the monsters of Sora

Frightfur Saber-Tooth ATK: 3100 + 300 = 3200

Frightfur Tiger ATK: 1000+ 1900 = 2900

"No..." Yuzu recoiled when she observed the attack of both monsters. Her friends all equally shared the feeling except Pendulum Warrior who didn't react.

"Don't waste your time; go find an Action Card, now!" Pendulum Warrior yelled at Yuzu. She reacted although she hated taking orders from her.

"If I were you, I would not." Sora exclaimed while his Tiger had his claws on the chains that held Mr Izayoi, Yuzu and Warrior could only grit their teeth at this act of cowardice.

"That damn blue dwarf." Warrior said.

"Tiger attack her Mozarta!" His creature used his claws to cut Mozarta in two. Yuzu could only cover herself from the impact with hers arms.

"Mozarta..." said the Pendulum duelist with sadness in her heart.

Yuzu LP: 3200-300 = 2900

"Sabre Tooth destroys your Bass!" The creature used its claws and with them cut the Melodious into pieces. It caused a huge explosion from which Yuzu could not escape, throwing her to the wall leaving everyone surprised, including Warrior who was looking at Sora with rage.

Yuzu LP: 2900-900 = 2000

"Yuzu!" Yuya ran to attend but he knew that he couldn't reach his best friend. "We must help her!" The others wanted to do what Yuya said but the height was too far.

Yuzu tried to stand up but the attack was too strong for her, but she continued to try and stand but unfortunately she fell back until Pendulum Warrior helped her.

"This is not over yet, we still have to defeat that blue dwarf and save your friends." Warrior exclaimed as she smiled at Yuzu, she did not know how to react but she nodded to agree.

"I'll activate my trap card Return of the Fairies, when one or more Fairy Monsters have been destroyed I can add that same amount of monster to my hand." Yuzu exclaimed as she added two cards to her hand, Sora smiled.

"I expected more to tell you the truth; I'll leave a card face down and finish my turn."

Turn 4

Sora LP: 2800 Hand: 0

Yuzu LP: 2000 Hand: 3

"Draw!" Yuzu took a card from his deck. "Warrior promise me one thing, every fight that you and your warriors fight in you will not kill or seriously hurt anyone." The Pendulum duelist exclaimed, Warrior at first disagreed and sighed but just smiled at Yuzu.

"Apparently you have more of Ciel than I thought... I promise you that we will not kill anyone... only if the situation warrants it." Yuzu thought about it for a moment until she finally accepted.

"Fine." Yuzu replied.

"We are alone while that dwarf has Ciel's bracelet. Right now we only have each other and it's the only thing that counts, I know the words I told you in the past were problematic, I accept that I was an idiot to let my nostalgia for Ciel blind me." Warrior exclaimed making Yuzu surprised by the honesty in her words. "It's time we commanded the troops." Pendulum Warrior was screaming.

"Warrior ..." Yuzu muttered until she nodded to affirm the warrior. "I will begin by setting my Pendulum scale with Queen Knight Servant of Nephitys and Queen Knight the Servant of Horus." Two new columns manifested in Yuzu's field, one shown a girl in blue armor in the shape of a black-skinned eel holding a bow and the other a girl with a dark tunic

Nephitys 2-9 Horus

"Now I'll perform another Pendulum Summon! Come back from the extra deck, Mozarta and Bass. Joining them is Amaethyst Warrior!"

Three energy bolts fell from the Yuzu field revealed to Mozart and Bass plus Aria.

Bass the Melodious Songstress ATK: 2400 DEF: 1800 Light / Fairy / Pendulum / LVL 5 - Scale 4

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

Queen Knight: Amethyst Warrior 1400 ATK / 1000 DEF / Light / Level 4 / Warrior / Effect

"When Amaethyst Warrior is summoned to the field, I can summon a level four monster from my deck, Aria the Melodious Diva!" A new Melodious appeared on the field.

Aria the Melodious Diva ATK: 1600 DEF: 1200 Light / Fairy / Effect / LVL 4

"Then I will activate the Bass' effect which allows me to decrease its attack by half and then select a monster on your field and make its attack and defense become 0." Bass created a sound wave that caused Sora's Tiger to cover its ears.

Bass the Melodious Songstress ATK: 2400-1200 = 1200

Frightfur Tiger ATK: 0

"Then I'll create the overlay network with Aria and Amaethyst Warrior!" Both monsters turned into energy that passed into avortex on the ground. "Rough warrior surges that has faced a thousand dragons with his sword, come forth rank four, Queen Knight Arturia Pendragon!"

Queen Knight: Arturia the Pendragon 2500 ATK / 2000 DEF / Light / Rank4 / Warrior / XY/OU 2

"I detach an overlay unit from Pendragon to make Sabre Tooth's attack become 0!" Pendragon used er sword that released energy, Sabre Tooth's attack to diminish.

Arturia OU: 1

Frightfur Sabre-Tooth ATK: 0

"Well done Yuzu!" shouted Rin and the others, Sora just kept laughing.

"I attack with Mozarta and I aim for your Saber-Tooth with GLORIOUS WIND!" Mozarta sent a huge tornado that approached the monster, however it was stopped mid-attack, leaving everyone surprised, including Yuzu and Warrior.

"I activated my Trap Card Fluffal Detention. This allows me to end this Battle Phase when you have more monsters than me, and then I draw a card." Sora exclaimed, causing Yuzu to bite her lips. "I finish my turn. Yuzu said. Yuya and the others could not help but worry about her friend

Bass the Melodious Songstress ATK: 2400

Sabre-Tooth ATK: 2400

Turn 5

Sora LP: 2800 Hand: 0

Yuzu LP: 2000 Hand: 1

"I draw!" Sora yelled. "I got it! I play Parasite Discharge! I summon a Parasite Fusioner! Emerge!"

Parasite Fusioner ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Dark/Insect/LVL 1/Effect

"That's the bug which was in Masumi…." Yuzu thought.

"When it's Special Summoned, I can use it to Fusion Summon with Monsters on my field! I fuse my Parasite with Sabre-Tooth and Tiger!"

"A Fusion Monster using two Fusions?!" Yuzu said in shock.

"I Fusion Summon your end Yuzu! Appear, Frightfur Parasite!" A giant brown parasite emerged which had blades on its pincers.

Frightfur Parasite ATK: 500 DEF: 300 Dark/Insect/Fusion/LVL 8

"When Parasite Fusioner is used, it's equipped to my big parasite!" The brown bugged emerged on one of the legs."Parasite destroys all Monsters on your field and inflicts 300 damage for each!"

"Damnit!" Yuzu looked for an Action Card but the parasite had already launched acid. The acid burnt the Monsters, sending Yuzu flying.

Yuzu LP: 2000 – 1100

"That annoying little boy!" Warrior said beside Yuzu.

"I got this, don't worry." Yuzu replied as Warrior disappeared.

"Parasite can equip a Fusion Monster from my extra deck onto itself and gain its attack! Parasite gains Frightfur Chimera's 2800 attack!"

Parasite ATK: 3300

"Now then… prepare to die! GO FRIGHTFUR PARASITE!" The parasite launched numerous acid attacks at Yuzu.

"I've only gotten stronger since we last met Sora, and here's one! Thanks to Kaiba I use Sphere Kuriboh in my hand! By sending it to the graveyard, your bug is switched to defence!"

"What?!" Sora yelled as his Parasite was forced to change positions. Yuzu stood with confidence as the acid faded away.

"Give it up Sora, you've lost." Yuzu said.

"No chance! I'll punish you for saying that! Parasite, kill the councilman!" Sora yelled.

"MASTER SORA!" Barrett yelled. "That wasn't part of the plan?!"

"SHUT UP!" Sora held up his duel disk and it glowed. Yuzu could only watch as Barrett was quickly turned into a card. "DO IT FRIGHTFUR PARASITE!"

The parasite launched acid at the gagged Aki's father. He couldn't speak or move.

The acid burnt through the chains quickly and the councilman fell off the roof.

"NO!" Yuzu yelled. Yuzu quickly sprinted after him and down the blue platforms. The councilman looked up at Yuzu with panic as he fell.

Yuzu was able to drop down to a lower platform before the councilman got to that level. Yuzu held out her hand to grab him.

Aki's father saw Yuzu's open hand and was able to grab it. Yuzu who was strong thanks to all her Action Dueling was able to pull him up. As Yuzu was about to take a breath, all the action had made her blood rush to her head, she was now feeling dizzy.

Yuzu fell off the platform.

"YUZU!" yelled Yuya who had only just seen Yuzu fall off via the holoscreen.

"NO!" Ruka and the others yelled. There was no way they could save her. A

As Yuzu fell, she looked up. She smirked as she knew what would happen.

A second later Yuzu felt a weight behind her and she was lifted up. There was Pendulum Warrior flying her back up.

"You really need to stop falling off things…." Pendulum Warrior said in jest.

"I knew you'd save me" Yuzu replied.

"Well…. Ciel entrusted me to protect you… since you can't avoid getting yourself into danger…..!" Yuya fell to his knees in relief as he saw his best friend save thanks to the duel spirit.

Yuzu landed back on the roof and stared at Sora who smirked.

"I end my turn!" Sora said. Yuzu walked over to her bracelet on the side which was no longer being guarded. She also took Rin's.

"This is where you end Sora, brainwashed or not!"

"I DRAW!" Yuzu yelled. "I Pendulum Summon once again! Return my Monsters!" Auras shot out of the Pendulum beacon.

"And from my hand, Pendulum Warrior!" The red caped Monster emerged, she held her sword with anger.

Arturia LVL: 7

"I overlay Pendulum Warrior and Arturia! 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/OU 2

The Monsterhad dark huge armour with two swords in both hands. While on his back he had two metal wings that radiated energy. Yuzu stood with confidence.

"That's….." Sora stumbled.

"Yes, you're end! "When Black Paladin is summoned using a Xyz Monster, this can deny the effects of all the cards on the field except itself and at the same time destroy all the monsters of level eight or lower on your field! Gate of Babylon!"

"NO!" Sora yelled. Black Paladin launched a beam at the parasite, wiping it out.

"After destroying all the monsters on the field, I can detach an overlay unit and my monster gains a thousand attack points for each destroyed monster and it can attack twice!"

Paladin OU: 1

Black Paladin ATK: 3000 + 1000 = 4000

"My knight of the revolution, Revolutionary Final Slash!" Paladin slammed its sword into Sora who was sent flying off the building, much to Yuzu's shock.

"Good riddance." Pendulum Warrior said.

Sora LP: 2800 – 0 Yuzu Wins

"Stop being rude and save him!" Yuzu ordered.

"Fine….." Warrior replied as she was quickly able to teleport and grabbed the boy. She returned to the rooftop.

"Now it's time to free Sora…" Yuzu said. "Ciel was able to free Masumi…. if I can channel her will and mine together…." Yuzu's hand and bracelet begun to glow.

"Leave it to me." Warrior said as she lifted up her sword. "I will shock the bug out."

"No! Don't do that!" Yuzu replied. "Please….. you need taming…."

"I was merely going to shock him… not kill him as you wished."

"Hurting someone is bad as well!" Yuzu yelled in annoyance. "Get back to your card or something…."

"Sigh ... as you wish ... You were excellent anyway." Warrior faded.

Yuzu's hand continued to glow as she channelled her will to free Sora. A few seconds later the bug left Sora's ear before dissolving.

Mina

Mina, Yuto, Shingo and Yuzar all made their way down an alleyway before stopping.

"I think it should be clear now." Mina replied. "I'll go and save the others."

"Be careful." Yuto said.

As Mina was about to turn and run, a shadowy figure leapt out and grabbed Mina.

"DENNIS?!" Mina yelled.

"Roget wants to see you!" Dennis yelled.

"What?!" Yuto said. "Mina?!"

"This guy is Academia; you need to get out of here!" Mina yelled.

"We can't leave you?!" Yuto said. At this point, numerous footsteps could be heard, it was Security. They were now surrounded.

"Just go to another dimension and come back later! I'll sort this guy out! We can't have you two being captured!" Mina said.

"Follow me, Reiji installed teleporting devices on the Lancer duel disks… we will head to Ritual!" Shingo said.

"Ritual?! But that place is-" Before Yuzar could finish, Shingo had used the duel disk to open a blue portal, he had already walked through. Yuto quickly followed and Yuzar looked back at Mina who looked confident, Yuzar entered as well.
