"So Sora's parasite has been removed?" Leo asked on his throne. The Doctor was on another screen.

"Yes, it's been removed like that Masumi girl…. I expect it was an angel." Doctor replied.

"No doubt. Send me all the information to me." Leo replied.

"Of course sir but there's another issue… from Sora's memory banks…. Sora turned Barrett into a card."

"No issue, Barrett was expendable."

"Also…. Roget isn't working for us anymore and has Dennis under some form of control…."

"WHAT?!" Leo roared.

Synchro

"Sora it's me, Yuzu, can you hear me?" Yuzu said to a collapsed Sora, he was coming to however.

"Yu…zu?" Sora replied.

Sora fully opened his eyes and snapped back to his feet.

"What? What's going on?!" Sora yelled.

"Sora, you're back!" Yuzu said.

"Back where? Hang on…. I was… I was working for Academia…. they put something in me…..?" Sora stuttered.

"Yes but you're free now Sora." Yuzu, seeking to assure him.

"I… what is going on?!" Sora said, Yuzu tried to put an arm out but Sora slapped her hand away. "Leave me alone!" Sora yelled out.

"Wait Sora!" Yuzu yelled. Sora took his duel disk.

"Stay away from me!"

"Sora, before you go back to Academia, you are forgiven." Yuzu said. "Academia were using you, the Lancers care about you."

"I don't know what to think or trust!" Sora hit his duel disk and teleported away.

"Damnit…." Yuzu said to herself.

"Anyone going to help me?!" yelled a voice from below, it was the councilman, Aki's father

Group

"You bring… HIM HERE?!" Yugo and Rin yelled as Yuzu walked towards the group.

"Yuzu!" Yuya said as he ignored the two behind him and went to help his friend.

"I'm fine." Yuzu took out Rin's bracelet and threw it to Rin. Rin caught it.

"What happened?" Ruka asked.

"Long story." Yuzu replied.

"Why is the councilman here?!" Yugo yelled.

"Even longer story…" Yuzu added. "Where are Yuzar, Yuto and Mina?"

"Let's go back." Ruri said. "It's also… a long story."

Martha's

"So Mina took them three away… where are they?" Yuzu said.

"No clue, I just found her when she left a note. She thought that Sora would take them." Ruri said.

"And Sora panicked and went back to Fusion… annoying." Yuya said.

"Yuya, you know he wasn't in control." Yuzu said.

"Yes but you had control of bringing that man back!" Rin said with anger.

"I was kidnapped!" Mr Izayoi replied. "Where exactly am I anyway?!"

"This is Martha's! A safe home for young kids of the Commons!" Yugo replied.

"I could tell… with the filth…."

"THAT'S IT!" Yugo tried to jump up and grab the guy but Yuya and Ruri were forced to hold him back.

"ENOUGH!" Yuya said.

"You should let him." Rin replied. "Let him know what it is like to suffer in the Commons!"

"I'm merely following nature's path! Losers sink while winners enjoy the cruise!"

"What a disgusting attitude!" Yuzu replied.

"If Martha was here, she should kick you out!" Yugo yelled.

"Thankfully she and the kids are out doing some community work… because we have to look after each other down here!" Rin added.

"Anyway you're "kind" reception has been…. eventful… now I must return from his hellhole and back to my home." Mr Izayoi said.

"Fine." Rin said. "You're not welcome here, go wait in the streets!"

"I shall do no such thing. I shall call for transport and wait for it to arrive here."

"You're in our home!" Yugo yelled.

"EVERYTHING belongs to the council. You're lucky I don't put you in jail." the councilman said.

"We we-" As Yugo was about to speak, Yuzu elbowed him in the gut.

"You were…. what?" Mr Izayoi said. Yugo and Rin both took note that they were about mention they were the ones to break out of the Facility, clearing Mr Izayoi hadn't seen the footage.

"Nothing." Yuzu said. "Now…. while you wait… would you mind telling us why you're so cruel to Commons?"

"Cruel?! Young lady, this is the way of society. This is the natural order." Izayoi said.

"What nonsense!" Yuya yelled.

"I'm not sure why you're surprised, you've had to spend your life as a Common… just accept it." Izayoi replied. "We're doing you a favour!"

"Enough of this rubbish." Rin stood up and pulled Yugo along. Rin kicked open the door and dragged Yugo out.

"Tell me." Yuya demanded. "What caused this world to be split into two places?"

"Tops and Commons." Ruri added. "Why do they exist?"

"Looks like you need a history lesson, very well. Fifty years ago or so, a natural disaster occurred. An explosion from a reactor. Many were left homeless and lost everything, while those who didn't lose anything were separated. It was originally meant to be temporary while those who lost everything rebuilt their life's…. however things didn't change and today's culture was born."

"Well you can change that, right now!" Yuya yelled.

"Why would I? First of all I agree with the culture and second, it's what the people want."

"More like the rich!" Yuzu yelled back.

"Getting and staying in power is the most important thing! If the Tops want Commons to remain in hell…. they shall remain!"

"And you're Aki's father?!" Ruri said. "How does that work with you and Arcadia?!"

"Ah… Aki…. she joined Arcadia when it begun five years ago. I had just gotten into power…. you see Aki was always different with her powers and…."

"And you cut ties with her because she wasn't someone you wished to be associated with?! It didn't look good as an image for a councilman?!" Yuzu yelled in rage.

"Calm it girl. We can break his legs after." Pendulum Warrior said who emerged. Yuzu ignored her.

"How could you do that?!" Ruri replied.

"Well I love her… just…. sometimes you need to make the hard calls. I would've still seen her at home." Mr Izayoi said.

"No wonder she left and joined Arcadia….." Yuzu said aloud. "You're a terrible father!"

"That's it! I shall have you placed under arrest! I hope you enjoy working underground!" The door burst open.

"ENOUGH!" Rin rushed in, she had heard everything. She grabbed Izayoi and dragged him out.

"HANDS OFF!"

"You're a rotten smell; don't want to make the kids ill when they come back." Rin dragged him to the door and literally kicked his butt out the door. There outside was Yugo and Tsukikage who got him up.

"We shall escort you away." Tsukikage said.

"I'll remember where you live!" Izayoi said.

"Good luck." Yugo said. "We have several vicious dogs! You come here; we'll set them on you!"

"You… do?!" Mr Izayoi said. Tsukikage quickly disappeared with councilman in hand.

"Do you really, Rin?" Yuzu asked.

"Nah… Yugo had a goldfish… but the idiot thought you could leave it in the toilet while he cleaned its bowl…. Martha thankfully saved it and now the kids look after it…."

"Sounds like Yugo… look Rin I'm sorry I brought that man here…." Yuzu said.

"You saved him Yuzu; I don't think I could've." Rin replied. "I could've broken his leg there and then!"

"I know you would've saved him Rin, you're a great person." Yuzu added. Yuzu hugged Rin, Ruri who was close also joined in.

"I guess we should get Yuto and the others back… we need to contact Mina." Yuzu added.

"Yeah… we should wait until Ruka and Mercy come back with the kids and Martha." Ruri added.

Security

Mina entered Roget's office with Dennis behind. Mina was being "forced" into the room.

"Ugh… why is this guy here?!" Mina said. "I thought you would've turned him into a card or something."

"Mina, I ordered for one of your control chips to be placed inside. He is now my right-hand man!"

"You fool; Academia will know that you're….. wait…. Sora… they know?!"

"Yes they do. And fact is… I'm happy they know! Now I no longer need to suffer Academia!" Roget said happily.

"You know Academia have an army?!"

"Bring them. I have Security, Dennis, Sergey…. and if really needed… Arcadia…. speaking of which, my story of them kidnapping the councilman has just made it to the press!"

Arcadia

"I summon Lord Poison!" A giant weed emerged with spikes.

Aki was in an Arcadia training room with no-one but herself. There were cardboard cut-outs of various kids. Aki was target training.

"Lord Poison! DESTROY!" The week shot forward its numerous spikes, wiping out the various cut-outs with ease. Aki smirked with her skills.

"Not bad." said a female voice over a loud speaker. It was Arcadia leader Euridice.

"Thank you, with the rumours of the Friendship Cup coming forward in date… I need to be in top form!" Aki said as she punched her fist.

"We have other issues. Today's news is reporting that we were behind your father getting kidnapped." Euridice said, Aki had already learnt the news earlier and didn't show a sign of care.

"Well we didn't. I hate that man but I would never do that." Aki replied.

"It's Roget spinning the news…. he wants us to take the blame." Euridice said.

"As long as the Tops are happy with Arcadia, the spineless council won't make a move. Plus no-one can stop us anyway." Aki replied.

"I agree but the less attention we have the better." Euridice said. She went to leave before Aki stopped her.

"Where are you going?" Aki asked.

"To speak to a toad."

Euridice Office

"You scumbag." Euridice said to Roget who appeared on a holoscreen.

"I did nothing but report the facts." Roget smirked.

"It wasn't us and you know it."

"I don't care. Sooner I remove you freaks from the picture, sooner my conquest will begin." Roget replied.

"I know you're from that other dimension, Roget." Euridice said. "Mina's mind said it all."

"I don't care about that. Fusion has no chance against me!" Roget said.

"Ha, we have strong Physic Duelists… more than capable of beating anyone who comes our way. You'll need our help soon, Roget!"

"Yes I will… under my orders!" Roget said as he ended the conversation.

"How rude." Euridice replied.

"That's not a nice way to speak to someone Sister." said a man in the shadows.

"You know for a dead guy… you do speak a lot." Euridice replied. "Soon you'll be able to return to living a normal life Sayer, and the man who thinks he killed you will soon perish himself."

Fusion Dimension – Academia

Inside in a room with numerous computers was many non-dueling Academia staff working at computers. Edo was overlooking them all.

"Does anyone have answers yet?!" Edo yelled. "We have Reiji's mind scan…. how hard can it be to open the dome with the programme he used?!"

"Commander Edo, with respect… Reiji is a genius and so is this programme… we will need time." one worker said.

"I DON'T HAVE TIME!" Edo yelled since he knew he was on his last chance with Leo.

"We just need a bit longer!" the worker replied.

"ENOUGH!" Edo shot out his arm and his duel disk was on it. Edo aimed it at the work. The worker cowarded in the corner.

"Please… Commander Edo!"

"Anymore failures and you'll meet your fate!" Edo replied.

"Commander Edo." said another. "I might have a quicker way. The dome does have a weak point."

"Explain." Edo replied.

"It seems to be a weak point of the energy dome… if we can somehow find a way through it, we won't need to worry about shutting the whole thing down."

"That's what I want to hear. Now work out how we can get through!" Edo said.

Reiji

Reiji looked out from his cell. He could see the main Fusion island in the far distance. He looked down at the dock and saw boats coming back and going to the main island.

Reiji pushed his glasses up. His plan was ready.

Academia Jail

Inside an Academia cell, Sora was pushing against the bars to be freed.

"Damnit! Why did I come back here?!" Sora yelled.

"Because you're loyal even after your mind was altered." Serena walked in with Marina and Grace.

"You three? Why are you here?" Sora asked.

"Actually we were passing by." Grace said. "And my sister is going to be here in a minute to do…."

"To do what?!" Sora said, scared.

"Gloria is going to have to initiate a question session with you. It seemed since you had the parasite for so long, you have retained knowledge of things you did while you had it. The Doctors parasite can only transmit so much data." Marina replied.

"I'm not some pet project! I need a word with him, how dare he change who I am!" Sora yelled.

"You see, this is why you were changed." Serena said. "Don't worry; you're finished as an Academia duelist. Once Gloria is finished, you shall become part of something bigger, helping the utopia!"

"I WON'T HELP!" Sora yelled.

"You have no choice!" Grace replied.

"Plus I need to nominate a new leader for the Synchro Dimension invasion." Marina replied.

"Damnit…." Sora said as he gripped the bars. "I…. I don't belong anywhere…."

"You will always be part of Academia, but you failed Leo…. now, you must receive the punishment and you know it." Marina exclaimed.

As the three walked off, they heard footsteps. It was Gloria along with Austin.

"Okay Sora… time for you to talk." Gloria said. Austin walked in with a wheeled-cart. It had a machine attacked with paddles, used to shock people in torture.

"No… not that!" Sora yelled. As Grace walked on, she could hear Gloria enjoying seeing Sora squirm.

"Damnit…." Grace thought. "I didn't think Academia would turn her into such a monster…. I thought we were meant to believe that Academia were right…. how can I support the cause when they turned my sister into… that?"

Academia Hallway

Serena walked down the hallway with pride with Yuri. She was now wearing a more posh, military outfit. She wore a long blue jacket with white pants and under-shirt. Serena had reached Obelisk Blue following her showing in the duel with Ray.

"You're looking great." Yuri said. "Not as much as me but still, great."

"Thanks Yuri. I'm sorry I… no, the other me tried to kill you…." Serena said.

"I'm cool. Plus you're kinda cute when you get angry!"

"This isn't a joke!" Serena said. "My angel self is getting stronger… I can recall what happens when she takes over…. it's bad!"

"Serena you have power! Second only to me!" Yuri replied. "Use it! EMBACE IT!"

Other kids in the hallway saw Serena and Yuri and all quickly got out of their way by pressing up against the wall. They looked worried.

"Yuri….?" Serena asked.

"Ignore them, they don't matter." Yuri replied.

"FREAKS!" yelled one student. Yuri and Serena stopped and saw another Obelisk Blue male behind them.

"Excuse me?" Yuri said. "Tell that to me again?"

"I said you are freaks!" said the male.

"Yuri… like you said, ignore him." Serena begged.

"Oh no… not when he does it with you present." Yuri smirked as he walked down the hallway; the other kids only looked on in fear. The male held out his duel disk.

"I shall take you out! You're dangerous!" The male hit his duel disk and it begun to glow purple, he was trying to turn Yuri into a card.

"YURI!" Serena yelled in fear. A bright glow appeared and when it faded, the male looked on to see his worst fear.

"Hey… that tickled….!" Yuri said with purple eyes. "My TURN!" Yuri unleashed a loud scream as a dark purple aura shot out of him, it was shaped like a dragon.

The dragon cut through Academia's roof with ease as it wrecked it. The students all ran for cover and the male was scared stiff.

"DIE!" Yuri said as the dragon was aiming to the male.

"YURI DON'T!" Serena yelled. As the dragon approached, a figure from the side grabbed Yuri and threw him to the floor.

"LET ME GO!" Yuri yelled, the dragon aura faded. Marina had jumped in with Grace grabbing the male.

"Not happening!" Marina said. "CALM DOWN!" Yuri was unable to wiggle out before the dragon-self faded away. Yuri was now knocked out.

"Marina… thank you." Serena said as she approached.

"It's fine…. I dread to think what Leo will think about this incident…" Marina replied.

"What about this fool?" Grace said as she held onto him.

"Let me go!" the male yelled. Marina rammed her fist into his gut.

"How dare you try and harm these two!" Marina said.

"They're freaks!" said the male. Marina hit him in the gut again, he fell to the floor.

"Leave this to me." Grace said as she placed her duel disk on. She paused as her doubt crept back into her mind.

"Grace?" Marina asked.

"Um… my hand hurts from shuffling class. You do it Commander." Grace replied.

"Very wel-"

"Let me." Serena said.

"Of course." Marina said as she moved to the side to allow her to face the student on the ground. The student looked up.

"You're freaks… me being turned into a card won't change that!" the male said.

"We're not freaks…. we're special." Serena hit her duel disk and the boy was turned into a card.

"Nice job Serena." Gloria said.

"Yeah but… what about Yuri?" Serena asked.

"Guess we need to carry him back to his room… okay Grace you grab the legs… I'll take the front… Serena you open the doors." Marina replied.

"Before that, you look great Serena. The new uniform suits you." Grace praised. "You look much bigger as well."

"Thanks…" Serena blushed.

"Sigh… let's move." Marina said. The three all begun to laugh and Yuri slowly came to.

"Why are you all laughing…. what did I miss?" Yuri asked.

"We were talking about Serena's hair," Grace said, leaving Yuri confused until he realized after so long that Serena had cut her hair.

"WAIT SERENA YOUR HAIR IS SO SHORT."

"WAIT YOU KNOW NOW, HOW CAN YOU BE SUCH AN IMBECILE?!" Serena hit Yuri on the head, Marina then grabbed her by the ear.

"What did I say about hurting Yuri? Even after you became a Obelisk Blue, you're still not mature." "It was his fault..!" Serena screamed while Marina still pressed her ear, Grace could only laugh at the of the three of them.

"You really are a beautiful happy family."

Throne Room

Leo put his hand in his hand. He was more annoyed then anything. He had learnt of Roget's betrayal from Sora's torture and Yuri's incident in the corridor.

"My time is running out… I don't need this!" Leo slammed down his fist onto his throne. "But now I know where the others are located in Synchro." Leo opened a holo screen, it was Himika.

"Yes dear?" Himika replied.

"Bring me Gloria. Marina spoke highly of her… and she's been made better thanks to her correction treatment, she's promoted to Synchro Commander." Leo replied. "We attack Synchro… now."
