Turn 1
Reiji LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Reira LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I start!" Reiji yelled. "First of all, I play the Continuous Spell Dark Contract of Summoning Curse! Next I set my Pendulum Scale with scale oneD/D/D Knowledge King Tomb Conquistador and scale ten D/D Savant Newton!" Reiji placed both on his duel disk and King Tomb appeared as a bulky purple insert while Newton was an insert.
King Tomb 1 - 10 Newton
"I Pendulum Summon! Come forth my Monsters!" The portal opened up and two D/D's emerged. "Appear D/D Savant Copernicus and D/D Cerberus!" D/D Savant Copernicus was a globe like structure appeared around a fireball and Cerberus was a demon dog.
D/D Savant Copernicus ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/LVL 4 /Scale 1
D/D Cerberus ATK: 1800 DEF: 600 Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/LVL 4/Scale 6
"Now via the effect of Summoning Curse, once per turn when I summon a Monster with a different Special Summoning type, I draw one card… however you also get to draw."Reiji drew along with Reira.
"Why would he give Reira a chance to draw more?" Grace said.
"Reiji might look stupid… but he isn't." Sora said.
"Next I use Copernicus' effect! I send a Dark Contract from my deck to the graveyard if it's Special Summoned! I send Dark Contract with the Gate and next I shall use Cerberus' effect! When it's Pendulum Summoned and I control another D/D Monster, I can target a Continuous Spell in my graveyard and add it to my hand! I add Dark Contract with the Gate and play it! I can add a level four or lower D/D from my deck! I add D/D Nighthowl… and now I overlay my two level fours!"
"No way…" Grace said.
"I Xyz Summon, rank four, D/D/D Wave King Caesar!" A giant warrior in purple amour appeared on the field. He had a huge sword which he swung around.
D/D/D Wave King Caesar ATK: 2400 DEF: 1200 Water/Fiend/XYZ/RNK 4/OU 2
"I end my turn."
Turn 2
Reiji LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Reira LP: 4000 Hand: 6
"Then it's my turn!" Reira yelled. "I summon Film Magician." A Magician in a black rope appeared with old film reels around its neck.
Film Magician ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Light/Spellcaster/LVL 1
"This is a new deck?" Reiji asked.
"Never saw this one…." Grace said.
"I set two cards and end my turn."
"Kid…. I won't lose to you again." Reiji said. "I won't ever lose again…."
"You have nothing to fight for!" Reira said. Reiji and the others were taken aback by this. "You have everything handed to you…. me…. I had to deal with this war and the only person who cared about me was sent away!"
"Marina?" Grace said. "Reira I still car-"
"No, you betrayed Marina!" Reira said. Grace was shocked into silence.
Turn 3
Reiji LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Reira LP: 4000 Hand: 4
"I draw!" Reiji declared. "Now for my Dark Contracts to inflict me 1000 damage each… but due to my Tomb King in my Pendulum Zone, all damage is used to increase my lifepoints instead!"
Reiji LP: 4000 – 6000
"Impressive." Grace said with an eager interest.
"Next I use Dark Contract with the Gate to add a D/D to my hand from my deck. I add D/D Swirl Slime! And next I use Swirl Slime to Fusion Summon itself with a Monster in my hand!"
"Xyz and Fusion…. no wonder Leo wanted Reiji on his side." Austin said.
"I fuse Swirl Slime and D/D Lilith in my hand to Fusion Summon! You made a bold mistake to duel me this time kid! I Fusion Summon! Come forth, Flame King Genghis!" A knight in purple amour came forward with a red sword. The knight appeared inside the duel arena's holographic zone.
D/D/D Flame King Genghis ATK: 2000 DEF: 1500 Fire/Fiend/Fusion/LVL 6
"Now I use Summoning Curse! Since I summoned a Fusion Monster, we both draw a card!" Reira drew once again as did Reiji. "Next I Normal SummonD/D Nighthowl!" The monster was a giant pair of jaws with teeth.
D/D Nighthowl ATK: 300 DEF: 600 Dark/Fiend/Tuner/LVL 3
"It's effect allows me to bring back D/D Lilith from the graveyard! It's attack and defence are made zero however and I cannot summon anything other than Fiend Monsters for the rest o the turn." "
D/D Lilith ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Dark/Fiend/LVL 4
"Also I take 1000 damage from Nighthowl's effect but King Tomb makes it increase my lifepoints!"
Reiji LP: 6000 - 7000
"I tune Lilith with Nighthowl!" Nighthowl flew up and became green rings, Reira remained composed as the summon began.
"A Synchro as well?!" Grace said.
"Reiji also has more up his sleeve." Sora added.
4+3=7
"Appear before me, level seven, D/D/D Gust King Alexander!" A sliver knight with a green cape appeared onto the field.
D/D/D Gust King Alexander ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Wind/Fiend/Synchro/LVL 7
"Synchro… Xyz… and Fusion." Reira said. "Still not enough!"
"I'm not done kid." Reiji replied.
"What?!" Reira said.
"I still have yet to Pendulum Summon!" The portal opened and a beam shot down. "Appear my mighty Monster, D/D/D Doom King Armageddon!" A demonic face on a giant purple crystal structure appeared on the field.
D/D/D Doom King Armageddon ATK: 3000 DEF: 1000 Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/LVL 8/Scale 4
"Pendulum as well?!" Gloria said.
"When a D/D is Special Summoned, I can use Genghis to Special Summon another D/D from my graveyard! Return D/D Lilith in defence!"
D/D Lilith ATK: 100 DEF: 2100 Dark/Fiend/LVL 4
"Five Monsters?" Reira questioned.
"Yes and this will end this duel! CEO ATTACK!" CEO fired a dark beam from its mask but Reira was looking confident.
"I use the effect of Film Magician! It can't be destroyed in battle and Film Magician gains the attack Monsters attack and defence during damage calculation!"
"No!" Reiji said in shock as Film Magician was about to knock the dark beam away.
Film Magician ATK: 3000 DEF: 1000
"And now Reiji's Monster will be destroyed since they both have the same attack… and since Film Magician can't be destroyed…." Sora said.
"Reiji is on the back foot." Austin added. CEO was destroyed in front of Reiji as he placed it into his extra deck.
"I end my turn." Reiji said with disappointment.
"Film Magician returns to its normal attack and defence points." Reira said.
Film Magician ATK: 0 DEF: 0
Turn 4
Reiji LP: 7000 Hand: 1
Reira LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I draw!" Reira said. "… It's time."
"For what?" Reiji said.
"I summon C/C Critical Eye!"
"C/C?!" Reiji said in surprise at the name which was oddly similar to his deck. A purple insert with a insert look appeared.
C/C Critical Eye ATK: 1400 DEF: 1000 Dark/Fiend/LVL 3
"What on earth is that thing?" Reiji said.
"Watch and learn Brother!" Reira yelled, Reiji looked disgruntled. "I play the Spell Critical Tuning! I target one Monster you control, its level depends on its new level!"
"New level?!"
"Yes! I target Gust King Alexander! Since it's level seven, it becomes level five!"
Gust King Alexander LVL: 5
"And now, my Spell takes a picture!"
"Picture?! Stop playing games!" Reiji said.
"I'm not!" The Spell flashed which blinded everyone but Reira. As the flash faded, the Spell Card had a picture of Gust King in it.
"What is this?!" Sora said.
"Critical Overlay becomes a Monster Card with the same Type, Level, Attribute and attack and defence!"
Critical Tuning Overlay LVL: 5
"Also via this cards effect, Critical Tuning Eyes becomes a Tuner!"
"What?!" Reiji said.
"I tune Critical Eye with Overlay!" The Eye flew into the sky and became green rings as the Spell Card flowed through it. "Synchro Summon!"
5+1=6
"Come forth, C/C/C Gust Sword of Battle!" A green sword with purple spikes emerged.
C/C/C Gust Sword of Battle ATK: 2300 DEF: 1000 Wind/Fiend/Synchro/LVL 6
"It's a Wind?!" Reiji said.
"No way…." Sora said. "It's a copy deck."
"Copy?" Grace said.
"It's using Reiji's Monsters against him!" Sora replied. "Reiji's material becomes Reira's to use!"
"Now I use Gust's effect!" Reira said. "This card gains the attack of one Wind Monster on your field! I choose your Gust King!"
"No!" Reiji said as Sword powered up.
Gust Sword of Battle ATK: 4800
"I attack your Gust King!" The Sword charged forward to Reiji's Monster. "And when Sword attacks a Wind Monster, the Wind Monsters attack is halved!"
Gust King ATK: 1250
The sword easily destroyed Gust King as it slashed across its chest. The Monster exploded sending Reiji to the floor.
Reiji LP: 7000 – 3450
"Next I use a Continuous Trap! Critical Return! Next since it's the End Phase, Critical Tuning destroys my Synchro Monster." Gust Sword blew up and Reira still looked confident. "Critical Return brings back Critical Eye once per turn when a Special Summoned Monster which used it for material is destroyed!"
C/C Critical Eye ATK: 1400 DEF: 1000 Dark/Fiend/LVL 3
"I use Wave King's effect!" Reiji yelled.
"What?!" Reira said nervously.
"I use an overlay unit to bring back Gust King who was destroyed" An overlay unit disappeared around Wave King.
Wave King OU: 1
"Return Gust King!" The Knight returned to Reiji's field.
D/D/D Gust King Alexander ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Wind/Fiend/Synchro/LVL 7
"I would take 1000 damage for this but my Pendulum Card increases my life instead!"
Reiji LP: 3450 – 4450
"Nice! Reiji was able to turn that around by the end!" Grace cheered.
"He… he was able to turn it around for his advantage…." Reira stuttered, she was feeling nervous as her moves were countered. "I set two cards!"
Turn 5
Reiji LP: 3450 Hand: 1
Reira LP: 4000 Hand: 2
"My move!" Reiji drew. "Now my Dark Contracts give me lifepoints thanks to Tomb King!"
"I don't think so! Since I control Critical Eye, I can play my other set Trap, Pendulum Set!"
"What now?!"
"By tributing one other Monster on my field, I can negate two Pendulum Monsters in your Pendulum Zones…. and set two of my own from my deck!"
"What?! Impossible!" Reiji said.
"That's insane." Grace said.
"Academia must've really given this kid strong cards." Austin said.
"I shall destroy Magician and negate your Pendulums for this turn!" Both of Reiji's Pendulums were negated and two cards popped out of Reira's extra deck.
Reiji felt the damage burn as he took damage.
Reiji LP: 3450 - 1450
"Good Reira."
"What was that?" Reiji said. "I heard a voice?"
"Me too." Sora said. Reira had a finger to her ear.
"She's talking to someone?!" Reiji added.
"Now, use the C/C Pendulums!"
"NO!" Reira yelled. "I'm using Marina's cards!"
"DON'T YOU DAR-" Reira took out the ear piece and threw it on the floor. "I'm doing it my way… for my best friend Marina!"
"This kid is… rebelling…." Reiji said.
"He didn't play the C/C Pendulums Himika Akaba gave to him… instead…." Grace added.
"I set my two Attribute Knight Pendulums! Marina might've been sent away from me but I'll find her with these! I set scale three Attribute Knight: Equinox the Knight of Armageddon and scale eight Attribute Knight: Yenawist the Knight of Genesis." Equinox was a dark knight on a horse while Yenawist had sliver amour while also on a horse.
Equinox 3 – 8 Yenawist
"Every move… this kid has a way out." Reiji thought. "I Pendulum Summon my Doom King back! Return!" The beam shot down and Doom King reappeared.
D/D/D Doom King Armageddon ATK: 3000 DEF: 1000 Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/LVL 8/Scale 4
"Go my Quick-Play Critical Pendulum!"
"Of course he has that card…." Reiji said in annoyance.
"I target a Pendulum Monster on your field and its level decides its new level! Since it's level eight, it becomes level five!"
CEO LVL: 5
"Critical Eye's stats become the same!"
Critical Eye LVL: 5 Type: Dark
"Now since I have two set Pendulum Scales, by tributing my Spell Card and Critical Eye, I can Pendulum Summon from my deck!" Both Monsters shot up and became aura around the Attribute Knight Pendulums. "I Pendulum Summon, C/C/C Dark Blade of Battle!" A beam shot down and a new black sword emerged.
C/C/C Dark Blade of Battle ATK: 2000 DEF: 800 Dark/Fiend/LVL 5/Pendulum/Scale 0
"Be careful Reiji." Austin said.
"You don't need to tell me." Reiji said.
"Since I summoned a Pendulum Monster, we both draw a card! I play the Spell D/D Switch! I banish a D/D on my field to summon one from my graveyard! I tribute Lilith and I summon D/D Nighthowl from the graveyard!"
D/D Nighthowl ATK: 300 DEF: 600 Dark/Fiend/Tuner/LVL 3
"I tune Nighthowl with CEO!"
"WHAT?!" Reira said.
"Yes kid, you helped reduce my Monsters level!" Reiji said. "Go, Synchro Summon!"
5+3 = 8
"Appear before me,D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried!"The monster was a knight in blue amour with a long red scarf. He held a long sword.
D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried ATK: 2800 DEF: 2200 Dark/Fiend/Synchro/LVL 8
"If the Monster summoned via D/D Switch is used as material for a summon, I can draw a card! Now, Gust King, destroy Dark Blade!"
"Nice, since Reira's card is Dark and Gust King is Wind…. Reiji's attack should go through!" Gust King picked up his sword and slashed Reira's card. Reira felt damage.
Reira LP: 4000 – 3600
"Dark Blade can only be destroyed in battle by a Dark Monster." Reira said.
"Fine." Reiji said. "I won't be baited though, that Monster clearly has an effect against Dark Monsters… thankfully I have others! Wave King, attack!" The Xyz Monster slammed onto Dark Blade.
Reira LP: 3600 – 3200
"I end my turn." Reiji said.
"Fine… my Pendulum is destroyed via its effect and via the Trap Critical Return, Critical Eye returns!" Reira said.
C/C Critical Eye ATK: 1400 DEF: 1000 Dark/Fiend/LVL 3
"And my Pendulums effects return." Reiji replied.
Turn 6
Reiji LP: 3450 Hand: 3
Reira LP: 3200 Hand: 3
"I draw!" Reira said. "Because I have set Pendulum Scales… I can bring back my Dark Blade!" The Monster shot down on Reira's field.
C/C/C Dark Blade of Battle ATK: 2000 DEF: 800 Dark/Fiend/LVL 5/Pendulum/Scale 0
"Now its effect! I battle D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried!" Dark Blade launched forward.
"What are you planning?!" Reiji said.
"When this card battles a Dark Monster… all cards on your field are destroyed except Dark Monsters and I take no damage from this battle!"
"What?! " Reiji watched as Dark Blade hit his Monster, Dark Blade was destroyed along with Wave King, Gust King and Genghis were destroyed. Reiji's two Dark Contracts were wiped out along with his Pendulums.
"And you take 300 damage X Siegfried's level!" Reira said with delight. Reiji prepared for the burning pain again as he was about to take 2400 damage.
Reiji LP: 3450 – 1050
"Since Wave King went to the graveyard, I can add a Dark Contract from my deck. I add Dark Contract with the Gate!"
"Fine, I play the Continuous Spell Montage Fusion!"
"No you don't!" Reiji said. "I use my remaining Siegfried's effect to negate its effect until the End Phase!"
"What?!" Reira said as the card was greyed out thanks to Siegfried's glowing sword. "Fine! I shall combine my power and Marina's! I play the Spell Pendulum Fusion!"
"Pendulum Fusion?!" Grace said.
"I fuse C/C/C Critical Eye with Yenawist in my Pendulum Zone!"
"She can do that?!" Austin said with surprise.
"No one will stop me from finding Marina! I Fusion Summon C/C/C Multi Knight" A knight emerged in golden amour. The knight picked up a sword which had appeared, coloured with the different attribute colours.
C/C/C Multi Knight ATK: 3000 DEF: 2200 Dark/Warrior/LVL 7/Fusion/Pendulum/Scale 1
"A Fusion Pendulum?!" Reiji said.
"Yes! And though this cards a Dark Monster… it also counts as every other Attribute!" Reira said as her knight glowed.
"This is not looking good…." said Grace.
"No it isn't." said a female voice. Himika Akaba emerged from a corridor, surrounded by numerous Obelisk Force around the cage.
"No…." Reira said in distress.
"Not so big now, are you Reira." Himika said. "Making you a soldier was a big mistake. How dare you disobey me?!"
"Shut it!" Reiji said, defending Reira. This took the kid by surprise.
"Don't worry Reiji; we'll look after you once you lose." Himika said. "The other three will suffer though."
"Don't you dare!" Reiji said. "I won't let anyone fall to Academia!"
"You Reiji, caring about others?!" Himika said as she laughed.
"Surprising isn't it…. people can change!" Reiji said. "Yuzu and her friends… they showed me the right path! Unfortunately for you, no one has ever done that for you!"
"Just beat him Reira, and then you'll be dealt with!" Himika ordered.
"Reira!" Reiji said. "She'll punish you, there's no reason to continue this duel! I can help you…. I can help you find Marina!" Reira held her fist before going back to the duel
"I use Multi Knight's effect! I can banish all Monsters on the field with the same attribute as it! Say goodbye to Siegfried!" Reiji's last Monster was wiped away.
"No!" Grace said.
"We're doomed." Sora said, however as Sora finished speaking, Reiji looked unmoved. Himika noticed this.
"Direct attack!" Reira ordered.
"WAIT!" Himika said as the knight went in, it was too late.
"By sending D/D Savant Vinci from my hand to the graveyard, I can negate an attack and then add a level four or lower D/D from my graveyard to my hand!" A force field blocked the attack as Reiji added Nighthowl back to his hand.
"No…" Reira said as she took a step back.
"Stop messing with my nerves!" Grace yelled, Reiji smirked, almost laughing at Grace's humour.
"I… I end my turn." Reira said.
"Stupid child!" Himika said. Reira's nerves looked completely shattered. Reiji knew what he had to do.
Turn 7
Reiji LP: 1050 Hand: 4
Reira LP: 3200 Hand: 2
"I draw!" Reiji said. With no Monsters or Spells/Traps on his field, Reiji needed to do something fast.
"I… I…" Reira stuttered.
"Listen kid, I'll save you, even if you don't like it!" Reiji replied. "I play myDark Contract with the Gate! I can add a level four or lower D/D to my hand! I add D/D Savant Archimedes! Next I setD/D Savant Dirac in my Pendulum Zone!"
Dirac 8 -
"Now I summon Archimedes!" A blue owl in amour appeared.
D/D Savant Archimedes ATK: 100 DEF: 200 Dark/Fiend/LVL 3
"It's effect allows me to add a Dark Contract Ritual and D/D/D Ritual Monster from my deck, but I have to pay 3000 lifepoints right away!"
"Fool!" Grace said.
"Come on Grace, Reiji has a plan… I hope…." Sora said.
"Since I would take damage, Dirac appears from my Pendulum Zone!"
D/D Savant Dirac ATK: 800 DEF: 1600 Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/LVL 3/Scale 8
"Since this was Special Summoned this turn, I take no effect damage this turn!"
"I knew that…." Grace said.
"I add Dark Contract of the Raven and D/D/DSuper Doom King Armageddon!" Reiji said. "I play Dark Contract of the Raven and this is the fun bit! If a D/D/D Doom King Armageddon is in my extra deck…. I can banish that and it costs as the full cost!"
"WHAT?!" Himika said. "No way!"
"Yes way." Reiji said. "I banish D/D/D Doom King Armageddon, I Ritual Summon!" A jar emerged on the field and Doom King turned into aura as it shot into it. "Appear D/D/DSuper Doom King Blueish Armageddon!" A blue demon shaped similarly to Hell Armageddon emerged. It had yellow spikes around its neck, almost looking like pyramids. Everyone but Reiji stood in shock and awe at the new Ritual Monster.
D/D/D Super Doom King Blueish Armageddon ATK: 3500 DEF: 3000 Dark/Fiend/Ritual/Pendulum/LVL 10/Scale 10
"Ritual… Pendulum…." Himika said.
"Yes and I knew putting this into my deck before this duel would be helpful! I use its effect! First off all while it's on my field, this card gains 1000 attack X each Pendulum Monster on my field.
Blueish Armageddon ATK: 5500
"Next his other effect!"
"Other?!" Reira said in shock.
"All Monsters on your field with less attack then Blueish's current attack are banished and you take 500 damage for each!"
"NO!" Reira yelled as Blueish unleashed a dark beam which banished her knight. The beam then hit Reira against the cage.
Reira LP: 3200 – 2200
"I'm sorry kid, but I need to do this! Blueish, end this!" Blueish powered up once more as Himika looked furious. The beam hit Reira and sent her flying as the cage faded away.
Reira LP: 2200 – 0 Reiji Wins
"Reiji… won!" Grace yelled in excitement.
"He did it…." Austin said. Reira was on the floor and Himika looked furious.
"Don't just stand there, arrest them all!" Himika said to all the guards.
"I can deal with these!" Sora said as he disappeared. The quick actions of Sora meant he was able to quickly knock out all of the guards with a single hit.
"Shouldn't have taught Academia students hand-to-hand combat, hey Himika?" Reiji taunted.
"It matters not." Himika said. Himika grabbed Reira by the hand.
"Leave her alone!" Grace yelled.
"Reira is obedient; she will do whatever I say." Himika said.
"Don't think so!" Sora held up his duel disk to turn Himika into a card.
"You turn me into a card; the kid becomes one as well!" Himika replied.
"Damnit!" Reiji said. "Can't you see this is wrong?"
"Wrong?!" Himika said. "Wrong?! I will always stand by Leo's side! You betrayed us Reiji! We gave you a chance and now…. you messed that up!"
"Wrong dear."
Everyone looked behind and saw a shocking sight. It was Leo Akaba, flanked by more Obelisk Force, walking towards them. Obelisk Force had batons.
"Leo?!" Reiji said.
"Professor?!" Sora said.
"I'm surprised he can walk?!" Grace said. "I thought that throne was attached to his rear!"
"Leo?" Himika said. "What is it?"
"I could hear what you was saying Himika." Leo said. "Reiji must stay!"
"He's beyond help!" Himika said.
"No, it seems you are." Leo said. "A while ago, I placed a parasite into your brain Himika."
"What?!" Everyone was in shock.
"But this is me!" Himika said. "I'm not being controlled?!"
"No you're not. The Doctors parasites also monitor minds and thoughts." Leo said. "I placed one into you to monitor you!"
"But I'm your wife?! Himika said.
"I also said you were expendable." Leo said. "The utopia and revenge on Yusho is way more important than anything you could give to me."
"Shut it!" Reiji said.
"Reiji….?" Himika said.
"You're both evil, vile people… but that's no way to speak to someone you love!" Reiji hit back to Leo.
"Enough Reiji!" Leo yelled. "Himika, I could tell you're still loyal to me… but deep down… your mind is starting to like Reira… and your love for Reiji is an issue."
"Nonsense!" Himika said. "I'm holding the kid hostage!"
"All an act!" Leo yelled. "Deep down your love is getting in the way, your feelings!"
"Leo!" Himika begged.
"I could remove your feelings Himika…. but that would be fake. You've been infected by these two kids… I will do you a favour." Leo said.
"What is it?!" Himika said.
"No need to worry anymore." Leo took out a remote and hit it. Reiji looked in shock as he knew what it was.
"LEO!" Reiji yelled. The pain Himika felt in her head was instant as she collapsed. She let go of Reira.
"What's going on?!" Sora said.
"Right now the parasite is sending toxic fluids into the brain, it won't be long." Leo said.
"No!" Reiji said as he went to his knees to see Himika.
"It's too late." Leo said. "Now, take them all." Leo ordered to his troops.
"LEO! YOU SCUM!" Reiji yelled, Leo just walked on.
"Go… Reiji." Himika said.
"I can't leave you?!" Reiji said.
"I made mistakes Reiji… I'm so sorry…. please, just go." Himika slowly said. "Let me make up for it…."
"Mother…" Reiji said.
"Please, I did care for you but… I let Leo change me…. he knew I was weak…"
"No…"Reiji said. Reira and the others backed up as they saw Obelisk Force approach.
"I'll deal with them!" Sora said.
"No." Austin said. "Those batons are charged with electric…"
"Reiji please!" Himika said. "The best thing I ever did… was having you…. please take care of Reira… she's been failed enough times in her young life…. I'll deal with these people…." Himika slowly got up.
"No!" Reiji said. Reira looked more terrified with each second.
"We have to move!" Austin said. Austin opened the side door and left with Sora. Grace stalled but she grabbed Reira and left the corridor. Reiji stood behind Himika who was weakening.
"GO!" Himika yelled.
"Mother….." Reiji gripped his fists. "Thank you…." Reiji ran out of the door.
"You're dying… what can you do?" said an Obelisk Force guard. Himika took out her Academia duel disk. She hit a button.
"You can't turn us into cards, you can barely stand up!" said another. At that moment Himika collapsed again as her duel disk was knocked beneath the guards.
"I never planned for you to become cards…" Himika smirked. "Take care… my kids…. I'm sorry…"
Outside
The group ran as Grace continued to hold Reira's hand. Reiji quickly caught up and as soon as he and the group were a fair distance away, they heard a loud boom.
"What was that?!" Reiji said as they all looked behind to see the Academia entrance slightly on fire.
"She… didn't…. did she…..?!" Sora said.
"Come on! We need to go!"Austin said.
"Where?!" Grace said.
"I lined up an escape plan!" Austin said. "While Reiji was dueling, I sent a signal on my duel disk!"
The group saw a helicopter quickly approaching; It appeared right in front of them with a dropped net.
"Here's our lift!" Austin said. A door opened and inside was Gongenzaka and Masumi.
"You two?!" Reiji said.
"No time for chat, hurry up!" Masumi said.
"Yes, Reira, you go first!" Austin said. Reira stuttered.
"Not without Marina!" she said.
"We don't have time for this!" Grace grabbed Reira and grabbed onto the rope ladder as it was pulled up. Reiji and the others could see Academia students seeing the escape and they were preparing to stop.
"Sora!" Austin yelled. Sora quickly leaped onto the ladder as it was thrown back down. Sora was lifted up.
"Ready Reiji?" said Austin. At this point Obelisk Force ran out onto the castle walls and the rope ladder dropped down once more.
"We need to jump at once!" Both males leapt and were able to grab the rope ladder at the same time; they were lifted up into the helicopter and were welcomed by Gongenzaka and Masumi.
"That was fun!" Gloria said.
"Get us out of here!" Gongenzaka said to the pilot. The pilot hit a button and the helicopter turned invisible as it turned around to head to You Show School.
"Mother…" Reiji said as the helicopter flew away.
Academia – Throne Room
"Reiji escaped then…" Leo said.
"Yes sir." said Cobra on a screen.
"And of Himika?"
"As you can expect…." Cobra said.
"Fine, she brought it on herself. No one will get in my way, no one." Leo replied.
"Shark is heading to Ritual, with the news of the Xyz dragon there; we felt it was best to send an old face." Cobra replied.
"Good and Ryo?"
"On his way to Standard with Edo and a group of soldiers. We have breached the Standard dome at long last." Cobra replied.
"Just what I like to hear." Leo said, smirking.
