A/N Thanks to Rom for the first two turns of Yuto duel and thanks to him for writing various bits and ideas. Yuto cards will use real life effects from now on.


Shingo looked at Ray and Shark, Shingo ran towards the two but before he could a cage formed around Shingo made of glass.

"Shingo?!" Yuto said.

"Don't worry, this is Real Solid Vision. Academia rigged up Ritual with some new gadgets he'll be free once we're done dueling." Shark said. "Thankfully the glass mutes his voice."

"And the ability to not teleport out of Ritual?" Yuzar said.

"That was Academia!" Ray replied.

"We walked into their trap…." Yuto said.

"Let's do this then Ray, I'll knock sense into you!" Yuzar said.

"About time you did something right for a change!" Both activated their duel disks.

"DUEL!"

Turn 1

Yuzar LP: 4000 Hand: 5

Ray LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"I don't wish to hurt you Ray, but I will do what it takes to get you back, I summon Ancient Wanderer!"A cloaked individual with a shadowed face appeared. Only his white eyes showed.

Ancient Wanderer ATK: 1200 DEF: 800 Dark/Warrior/LVL 3

"When he is the only Monster on my field and summoned this turn, I can Special Summon another Ancient Monster from my deck and you can draw a card! Appear Ancient Magician!"A tall magician in purple robes appeared. She had a golden broach on her black hat which connected to the robes .

Ancient Magician ATK: 1000 DEF 700 Dark/Spellcaster/LVL 4

"Fool." Ray said as he drew a card.

"I set two cards and end my turn there!"

"That all?" Ray said.

"I won't fall to your taunts, Ray." Yuzar said. "You're better then that!"

"It seems you've been maturing, it won't do you any good!" Ray replied.

"I know this isn't you Ray, I will knock some sense back into that head of yours!"

"Funny, seems that was always what I did to you…. keeping you protected with your giant ego… wasting my time." Ray replied.

"Yes I know I was too much to handle… but I've changed and you saw that, before Academia screwed with your head!" Yuzar replied.

"Really Yuzar? Tell me once in which your big ego has not gotten you in trouble since I left?"

"Just make your move!"

Yuto

Turn 1:

Yuto LP: 4000 Hand: 5

Shark LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"I'll leave three cards face down, and then I'll summon The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves to the field." Yuto said as three cards materialized on his field and a ghost monster with huge mitts emerged onto the field.

The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves 1000 ATK / 500 DEF / Dark / Level 3 / Warrior

"Next when I have another Phantom Knight Monster I can Special Summon the Phantom Knights of Silent Boots." Another ghost creature in a brown tunic materialized on the field.

The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots 200 ATK / 1200 DEF / Dark / Level 3 / Warrior

"Now I will create the overlay network with both Monsters." Both Monsters became energy and crossed into a vortex. "Souls of knights who fell on the battlefield. Revive here and now, and become the light that breaks the darkness! Xyz Summon! Appear, Rank three, Phantom Knights Break Sword! "

Phantom Knights Break Sword 2000 ATK / 1200 DEF / Dark / Rank 3 / Warrior / XYZ/OU 2

A new knight mounted on a flaming steed came out of the great explosion, this one waved his sword. "When Ragged Gloves is used as material for a Xyz Summon, the Xyz Monster gains 1000 attack points."

Break Sword ATK: 2000+ 1000 = 3000

Shark watched Yuto inhale and exhale hard.

"We have not even started the duel and you're tired already?" The Phantom Knight duelist only reacted with repulsion to his old friend's question because the stress of containing the impulses of Dark Rebellion were tiring him.

"I need to find a way to win this duel, fast." Yuto thought, he looked away to observe Yuzar who was still dealing with his adversary. "Yuzar, please do not let yourself be defeated by your dragon either. I finish my turn." the duelist exclaimed with a faint tone as sweat continued to flow more and more from his face.

Turn 2

Yuto LP: 4000 Hand: 0

Shark LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"Draw!" The commander took a card from his deck.

"What did Academia do you to make you become such a monster?" Yuto asked Shark.

"Academia accepted me as one of their soldiers; they did not do anything to me."

"So your disappearance was because of that?" Yuto exclaimed, the commander only nodded to confirm his question. "Why betray your friends and even the woman you loved?"

"Academia showed me that none of you were worth it!" Shark's words surprised Yuto causing him to only clench his fists.

"There's no other way, they brainwashed you and forced you to say those things." Shark just closed his eyes and took three cards out of his pocket and then showed them to Yuto. The duelist remained with his eyes open to revelation. "No ..." Yuto exclaimed when he saw the cards that Shark brought out.

They were his former resistance companions, Kaito, Sayaka and Allen.

"I'll give you the option I gave them, surrender and join the Academia goal or be defeated with dignity." Shark screamed causing Yuto to clench his jaw in anger.

"You know I will not do that!"

"It was your decision." Shark took the cards and began to tear them to pieces. He threw them to the ground, leaving Yuto frozen and gazing with open eyes at such an atrocity. The Xyz duelist went to find the pieces of the cards to pick them.

"Why….?" Drops of tears began to fall from his eyes; he began to grab his chest because he felt a great pain in his heart while the commander only watched as the Yuto suffered.

Synchro

Meanwhile in Synchro, Ruri was looking for Yuto and the others in the streets. She stopped for a minute when she felt a strange feeling of emptiness.

She opened a small hatch on her duel disk, inside it had a small photograph of her with Shun, Yuto and several of her friends including Ryouga who hugged Luna from behind while smiling.

"Yuto, please be okay." Ruri though with concern.

Ritual

Yuzar and Shingo observed the situation, surprised.

"How can you treat your friend like that?" Yuzar yelled at Ryoga who did not answer him.

"You fight with me, don't forget that Yuzar." Ray replied

"You are pathetic, you mourn for the fallen ones when it's right time but you do not care about your own people in Xyz." Shark's words hurt Yuto even more; he just stood up and watched as anger filled him.

"I will not forgive you!" Yuto, with tears in his eyes, charged towards Shark to punch him in the face but was blocked by the commander's hands.

"Weak." Shark hit Yuto in the stomach with his fists causing him to scream in pain, he then grabbed Yuto's hair. Shark then returned to hit him with his fists in his face three times until throwing him back to his side of the field. Yuto stood up slowly after the beating, blood gushed from his lips and nose. Yuzar watched, annoyed as his friend was abused

Yuto stood up slowly after the beating, blood and blood gushed from his lips and nose. Yuzar watched, annoyed as his friend was abused.

"Damn." Yuto said.

"If you're finished, I will now leave a card face down and then activate the Continuous Spell Card, The Temple of the Kings." Shark exclaimed as an Egyptian temple emerged on his field. "Then I will activate its effect that allows me to activate the Trap that I left on the field. I activate my Royal Decree. "

"No!" Yuto exclaimed with fear.

"It's good that you know the effects of this card, because now all our Traps will be negated!"

"Damnit…." Yuto said to himself.

"Now I summon Hammer Shark!" A blue fish Monster with an actual hammer for a head appeared.

Hammer Shark ATK: 1700 DEF: 1500 Water/Fish/LVL 4

"It's effect allows me to reduce its level by one to summon a level three Water Monster from my hand!"

Hammer Shark LVL: 3

"Appear Big Jaws!"

Big Jaws ATK: 1800 DEF: 300 Water/Fish/LVL 3

"Watch and learn Yuto! I overlay my two level threes! Appear, rank three Shark Edge!" A shark appeared in the shape of a blade. It had razor pointed edges.

Shark Edge ATK: 1500 DEF: 1900 Water/Fish/Xyz/RNK 3/OU 2

"I use Shark Edge's effect! I use an overlay unit to add power to its attack by a Water Monster in my graveyard until the End Phase! Big Jaws, help me out!" Big Jaws returned and became a blue aura around Shark Edge.

Shark Edge OU: 1

Shark Edge ATK: 3300

"Not good…." Yuto thought. "My Traps are sealed… Shark knows all about my duel style… seems Academia haven't messed his brain up that much."

"Shark Edge GO!" Shark Edge slammed into Break Sword, cutting it in halve.

Yuto LP: 4000 – 2700

"When Break Sword leaves the field, its Xyz Materials can return as level four Monsters!"

The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots 200 ATK / 1200 DEF / Dark / Level 4 / Warrior

The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves 1000 ATK / 500 DEF / Dark / Level 4 / Warrior

"Yes Yuto, summon your inner-dragon!" Shark said. Yuto gritted his teeth. "Shark Edge's attack returns to normal."

Shark Edge ATK: 1500

"I won't be tricked by you Shark!"

Yuzar

Turn 2

Yuzar LP: 4000 Hand: 3

Ray LP: 4000 Hand: 6

"My turn!" Ray drew a card. "I summon Nikitama." Nikitama was a green bug appeared in a green like flame.

Nikitama ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Light/Fairy/Spirit/LVL 4

"Nikitama allows me to Normal Summon a Spirit Monster once more this turn! I tribute Niktama to summon level six Fenghuang!" A green bird with multicoloured wings emerged.

Fenghuang ATK: 2100 DEF: 1800 Fire/Winged-Beast/Spirit/LVL 6

"This card when summoned sends all your set cards to the graveyard!" Ray said with a smirk.

"Damnit! Fine, I'll use a Trap! Ancient Addition! I tribute an Ancient Monster to add a Ritual Spell or Monster to my hand from my deck. I tribute Ancient Magician to add…."

Yuzar froze as he felt the Monster he needed. Yuzar's hand hung over his deck, Yuzar struggled even move.

"No… I can't summon Ancient One…. I just can't….!" Yuzar thought.

"But you need me!" said a voice in Yuzar's head.

"No! I add the Ritual Spell Ancient One Ritual!"

"Already talking with you imaginary friends Yuzar?" Ray said. Yuzar wanted to yell "shut up" back to Ray but he had to control himself, the pressure was growing on Yuzar, inside and out.

"Just go, Ray." Yuzar replied.

"Fine! Wipe out his final set card!" Ray's bird swopped down and hit the set card, destroying a Trap. "Now Fenghuang, attack!" The bird unleashed a dark beam at Yuzar's Ancient Wanderer, wiping it out.

Yuzar LP: 4000 – 3100

"I set two cards and end my turn! Fenghuang returns to my hand since it's a Spirit Monster."

Turn 3

Yuzar LP: 3100 Hand: 4

Ray LP: 4000 Hand: 4

"I draw!" Yuzar drew a card which he had hoped to have. "I play the Spell Ancient Retrieval! I add one Ancient Monster from my graveyard and next I can draw a card! Appear again Ancient Magician!

Ancient Magician ATK: 1000 DEF 700 Dark/Spellcaster/LVL 4

"I play Ancient One Ritual!" Yuzar said. "I tribute Ancient Magician and I now Ritual Summon! Come forth Paladin of Ancient Dragon!" A sliver knight riding a scaly dragon with sharp purple edges on its legs was summoned.

Paladin of Ancient Dragon ATK: 1900 DEF: 800 Dark/Dragon/Ritual/LVL 4

"That Monster?! Why… I thought you were a coward Yuzar…. I have to say-"

"Shut it!" Yuzar yelled. "When Magician is used to Ritual Summon, I draw a card… Paladin, GO!" Yuzar yelled as the knight on the dragon swung his sword at Ray's stomach, sending her back across the ground.

Ray LP: 4000 – 2100

"I felt your anger Yuzar! You can tribute that Monster to summon Ancient One Ritual Dragon from your deck! I guess you had no other choice but to summon it!" Yuzar tensed up, he begun sweating. "Can you resist not bringing out your dragon?!" Ray yelled with a vile smirk.

Yuto

Turn 3

Yuto LP: 2700 Hand: 0

Shark LP: 4000 Hand: 2

"I draw!" Yuto declared. "I play the Spell Trap Tribute! I send two Traps on my field to the graveyard to take out two cards on your field! I send two set Traps and now Temple of Kings and Royal Decree are destroyed!" Shark flinched as his two cards were removed from the field.

"I know what you're planning Yuto!" Shark said.

"Yes but can you stop it?" Yuto said. "One of the Traps I sent was Phantom Knights' Fog Blade! I banish it to bring out Phantom Knight of Break Sword again!"

The Phantom Knights of Break Sword ATK: 2000 DEF: 1000 Dark/Warrior/XYZ/RNK 3/OU 2

"Break Sword, attack Shark Edge!" Break Sword lifted up its sword and slammed into Shark Edge, knocking Shark across the floor.

Shark LP: 4000 – 3500

"Next my Silent Boots!"

Shark LP: 3500 - 3300

"Ragged Gloves, your turn!"

Shark LP: 3300 - 2300

"Now I end my turn."

"When Edge Shark is destroyed, I can add a Rank Up Magic Spell from my deck!" Shark showed it and Yuto looked confused.

"You never had that card?"

"You'll see what it does soon!" Shark replied.

Turn 4

Yuto LP: 2700 Hand: 0

Shark LP: 2300 Hand: 3

"I draw!" Shark yelled. "I play Monster Reborn, return my Shark Edge!" A portal appeared and Shark's Xyz Monster returned.

Shark Edge ATK: 1500 DEF: 1900 Water/Fish/Xyz/RNK 3/OU 0

"Now since I control a Water Monster, Cyber Shark can appear!" A blue shark which had a golden mouthpiece over its nose appeared.

Cyber Shark ATK: 2100 DEF: 2000 Water/Fish/LVL 5

"I now play Rank-Up-Magic Fusion Force!"

"FUSION FORCE?!"

"This card first ranks up Shark Edge!" Shark Edge become a golden aura and shot into a purple portal on the ground. "From the shadows and fighting against its foes, emerge and crush those who oppose, Rank Up Xyz Change! Appear! Rank five, Silent Honour: Dark Knight!" A beast in red amour emerged. He had black stripes across its bulky body with a sword attached to the back.

Silent Honour: Dark Knight ATK: 2800 DEF: 1500 Water/Aqua/Xyz/RNK 5/OU 1

"Now my Fusion Force is treated as a second Shark Edge and I fuse it! My Fusion requires an Xyz plus a Water Monster! Fusion Summon! Appear Silent Honors Red Paladin!" A new red knight with a shield and spear came to the field.

Silent Honors Red Paladin 3000 ATK / 2200 DEF / Dark / Level 8 / Warrior / Fusion

"What are those?!" Yuto said.

"New cards, thanks to Academia!" Shark replied. "Now Dark Knight's effect! I target a card you control, and attach it to my Dark Knight! Break Sword is mine!" Break Sword turned into aura and became attached to Dark Knight.

Silent Honour OU: 2

"Damnit…."

"Next I gain its attack!"

Silent Honour Dark Knight ATK: 4800

"Next I use Red Paladin! When it's Fusion Summoned using an Xyz Monster, your Monsters attack become zero!"

Boots & Gloves ATK: 0

"Time to end this! Red Paladin, attack Boots!"

"I still have one more set card!" Yuto yelled. "Draining Shield negates your attack and I gain lifepoints equal to its attack!" Paladin hit Boots but was deflected away.

Yuto LP: 2700 – 5700

"Ha, I had a feeling you had that card… Silent Honour Dark Knight will knock most of those lifepoints away!" Dark Knight pulled out the sword and wiped out Boots, Yuto was sent flying.

Yuto LP: 5700 – 900

"I end my turn." Shark said with confidence. Yuto was now on the floor, his battered outfit smoking. He looked up slowly and his eyes begun to glow.

"You… you… NO!" Yuto slammed his fist onto the ground. "You're not taking over!" Yuto yelled.

"That was the same mistake that Kaito made, by letting revenge and anger cloud him!"

"I will revenge him with the others and I will finish you!" an aura grew over Yuto and his eyes began to glow with concern at Yuzar.

Yuzar

Turn 4

Yuzar LP: 3100 Hand: 4

Ray LP: 2100 Hand: 4

"My move." Ray looked at her newly drawn card. "I'll force you to summon Ancient One!"

"Why do you want that?!" Yuzar said.

"I want to beat you at your best, to show that you're nothing! I know Paladin's effect!" Ray said.

"No, Ray!" Yuzar begged.

"I play the Spell Dark Hole!" Ray played the Spell and a Dark Hole emerged on the field.

"No…."

"DO IT YUZAR!" Ray yelled. "You can tribute it during either players turn to summon Ancient One! If you don't, I'll beat you and you'll never be free from Academia!"

"FINE! I tribute my Paladin! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY RAY!" Yuzar's eyes lit up and darkness glowed around. "I summon myself, DIE ANGEL SHELL!" A portal opened and from the sky thunder occurred. The dark blue dragon with blue orbs on its legs emerged. Ancient One was summoned.

Ancient One Ritual Dragon ATK: 2500 DEF: 2200 Dark/Dragon/Ritual/LVL7

"Good and since you didn't Ritual Summon it, its first effect doesn't work!"

"Yes but I still gain 300 attack for each level five or higher Monster on your field or in your grave!" Ancient One said through Yuzar.

"I won't worry about that!" Ray replied. "I play a Trap! Spirit Set! I discard Fenghuang from my hand to set the Pendulum Monsters Freedom Bird and Caged Lion from my deck!"

"Though now I gain attack thanks to level six Fenghuang!"

Ancient One ATK: 2800

The two Pendulum Monsters set on the field, Ray smirked once more.

Bird 1 – 9 Lion

"I can now Pendulum Summon Spirit Monsters ignoring their conditions! Pendulum Summon!" A blue aura shot from the sky. "Pendulum Summon! Come forth level six, Ritual Spirit Warlord!" Warlord was an ancient looking warrior.

Ritual Spirit Warlord ATK: 2000 DEF: 700 Earth/Warrior/Spirit/LVL 6

"I gain attack once more!" Ancient One said.

Ancient One ATK: 3100

"Now I use the Spell, Fusion Ritual Art!"

"What's that?" said Ancient One with annoyance.

"I first tribute Ritual Spirit Warlord! This card can count as a full cost for a tribute! GO RITUAL SUMMON! Ancient mystic warrior rises from your eternal rest and serves me again to fight against our adversary!" A black samurai emerged with golden edges. It had two swords, one on its back and one stored by its side.

Spiritual Samurai 2500 ATK / 2200 DEF / Light / Level 7 / Warrior / Ritual

"You only power me up more!"

Ancient One ATK: 3400

"Next after I Ritual Summon, Ritual Spirit Warlord returns to my field from the graveyard and Fusion Ritual Art is treated as a Monster. Next I can use it to fuse itself with Spirit Warlord!"

"What?!"

"I fuse with the power of glory! FUSION SUMMON! Appear Sohei the Spiritual Master Warrior!" A tall samurai with golden horns emerged. He wore purple and black amour with golden rims around.

Sohei the Spiritual Master Warrior ATK: 3000 DEF: 1500 Dark/Warrior/Fusion/LVL 10

"Now I increase my attack!"

Ancient One ATK: 3700

"Spiritual Samurai sends all level four or higher Monsters on the field back to the hand! Sohei is unaffected by card effects!"

"I send Ancient Fader from my hand to negate your Warlord's effects; I won't go down that easy!"

"I now use my other set card! I play Ritual Sealing; this Trap destroys a Ritual Monster!" Ancient One, both in Yuzar and the Monster screamed as the it was destroyed.

"I thought you wanted to battle me?!" Ancient One said.

"I do…. I want your evolved form! I'll beat that!"

"Girl, you're getting overconfident!"

"Sohei can't attack directly, I end my turn! Don't let me down!" Ray smirked.

Turn 5

Yuzar LP: 3100 Hand: 3

Ray LP: 2100 Hand: 2

"I draw!" Ancient One yelled. "Feel my full force! I play Ultimate Ancient Offering! This Ritual Spell brings back my true form to the field!"

Ancient One Ritual Dragon ATK: 2500 DEF: 2200 Dark/Dragon/Ritual/LVL7

"I tribute myself to summon my much higher form! Reap hell, Ancient King Ritual Dragon! I can use this Ritual Spell to summon it from my deck!"A white dragon with golden amour around its body appeared. It had blue wings with black stripes.

Ancient King Ritual Dragon ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500 Dark/Dragon/Ritual/LVL 10

"All Special Summoned Monsters except myself will be destroyed! Since your Fusion isn't affected, your Ritual will fall!" Ray's Ritual was destroyed and she felt a burning pain. "Plus you take 800 damage!"

Ray LP: 2100 – 1300

"Now I equip myself with Ancient Horns! This Spell increases my attack by 1000 and I can add a Ancient Monster from my deck once I destroy your Fusion!"

Ancient King Ritual Dragon ATK: 4000

"Now, LAY WASTE!" King unleashed a dark purple beam from its mouth; Yuzar's body glowed further with darker aura as he smirked. Ray looked overwhelmed as her Monster Sohei was wiped out. Ray was sent flying.

Ray LP: 1300 – 1

"RAY!" Ancient One held his head.

"No, you shut up!" Ancient One said to himself

"I AM MYSELF!" Yuzar fell to the ground as he returned to his normal self. Yuzar quickly got up and ran to Ray. "Ray, Ray!"

Ray looked at Yuzar. "Who…. who are you…."

"Ray?! You can't have forgotten me?!" Yuzar sounded in pure shock.

"Where is this place…?" Ray said.

"No…. Ray?!"

"Just kidding." Ray said with a wink. "I'm…. free?"

"Ray!" Yuzar hugged her on the ground, she embraced him back.

"Did… we duel?"

"Yeah, I won… of course." Yuzar said with a tear in his eye, he was joking with his ego.

""Yuzar you still show me that you have learnt nothing….." Ray joked. "Funny… it still says I have 1 lifepoint." Ray said.

"Weird…" Yuzar said.

"Not weird… just… funny…." Ray said. "Funny is great… funny is…. fun."

"Ray?" Yuzar looked at Ray and she slammed him into the ground.

"You're so stupid!" Ray yelled. "Stupid people need a lesson! END YOUR TURN!" Yuzar looked up and could do nothing else.

"Damnit! You fake that! I end my turn…!"

"Now to explain! When Sohei is attacked, she's banished; the Battle Phase ends and my lifepoints become 1! During the End Phase she returns, with the attacking Monsters attack added to her own.

"No…..!" Yuzar stuttered. Sohei returned with a dark aura. "I set one…"

Sohei ATK: 7000

Turn 6

Yuzar LP: 3100 Hand: 1

Ray LP: 1 Hand: 2

"I draw!" Ray yelled.

"I play my Trap!" Yuzar yelled. Yuzar was now battered, sweating and in pure pain but the Ritual user stood firm. "Ritual Defence allows me to-"

"It's a waste." Ray said. "Sohei is unaffected by card effects… or did you forget when you hit your head!"

"No…." Yuzar collapsed to the floor.

"Yes, the dirt is where you belong. Now I shall kill this dragon and take you back to Academia! Sohei… show no mercy!" Sohei glowed in pure darkness as he swung the sword across King Dragon, causing a mass explosion which Yuto looked at.

"Yuzar?!" Yuto yelled.

The dust cleared and Yuzar was now knocked out on the floor. Blood poured from his face.

Yuzar LP: 3100 – 0 Ray Wins

"Wake up… hey Yuzar… wake up." Yuzar slowly came around and saw Ray looking at him.

"Ray…. that was all a dream?"

"No… no it wasn't." Ray said with sarcasm. "This'll wake you up!" Ray slammed her boot down on Yuzar's leg, making him yell with a blood-curdling scream.

"YUZAR!" Yuto tried to run over but Shark's Monsters blocked the way.

"What is it Yuzar, can't defend yourself?!" Ray slammed her boot down on him again making Yuzar scream. "Too weak?! Too innocent?!" Each time Ray slammed down again. Yuzar was in tears.

"Stop… please…."

"I hope you never walk again! One more time… for LUCK!" Ray slammed down on Yuzar's leg once more; Yuto could only turn away as a bright blue aura teleported Ray and Yuzar away."

Yuto clenched his fist. Yuto looked at shark, barely hanging onto his sense of control.

"You're just pure evil…. all of you…. pure and simple, evil." Yuto said.

"Then defeat me Yuto, end this!"

"I will!" Yuto's eyes lit up and he begun to be surrounded by dark aura.

Turn 5

Yuto LP: 900 Hand: 0

Shark LP: 2300 Hand: 1

"I draw!" Yuto yelled. As he spoke, a picture of Yuto, Shun and Ruri fell out of his pocket. Yuto looked at it. Yuto picked it up and smirked. "I don't need this; you just deserve to be forgotten after I finish you!" Yuto ripped it in halve, the picture landed on the floor.

Synchro

Ruri only stopped to drop a plate, the other girls noticed this and went to observe it, but they found her with tears in her eyes and then she fell to the floor. "Ruri." Yuzu shouted to observe that his counterpart XYZ had faint.

"Yuzu, look." Rin pointed to the figures of Pendulum Warrior and Catilist who were in spiritual form, watching and stunned by what they observed. It was Uriel, Ruri's monster who was also crying.

"Warrior what does this mean?" Yuzu exclaimed scared.

"When Uriel cries is that something bad happened.." she said with concern.

Ritual

"Wow, angry much?" Shark said, smirking.

"I play the Spell Overlay Xyz Fortune! This is risky but I need to do it! We both draw cards equal to the amount of Xyz Monsters on the field and their overlay units. Since you control one Xyz Monster with one overlay unit, we both draw two!"

"Fine by me." Shark and Yuto both drew two cards.

"I banish the Trap The Phantom Knights of Scratched Helmet! I can summon a Phantom Knights Monster from my deck with attack points less than my lifepoints; appear The Phantom Knights Dragon Servant!" A black dragon with blue flares around its body appeared.

The Phantom Knights Dragon Servant ATK: 0 DEF: 2200 Dragon/Dark/LVL 7

"Now I play Monster Reborn to bring Shark Edge from your graveyard to mine!"

Shark Edge ATK: 1500 DEF: 1900 Water/Fish/Xyz/RNK 3/OU 0

"What are you playing at?" Shark asked.

"My final card, The Phantom Knights' Possession!"

"What?!"

"This targets a Xyz Monster I control and makes it the same level as my Dragon Servant!"

Shark Edge LVL: 7

"Dragon Servant allows Shark Edge to be treated as a Dragon when it's used to Xyz Summon!"

"Just do it!" Shark yelled with impatience.

"As you wish! I overlay my two level seven dragons!" Both became golden auras and shot into the Xyz whirlpool. "Dragon of dual colored eyes. Unleash that black scale of wrath, eradicate all opposing enemies! Xyz Summon! Come forth, Rank seven! Dragon with eyes of rage! Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon!" The dragon appeared onto the field. The mighty black dragon was surrounded by dark aura and its eyes glowed with a red rage.

Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500 Dark/Dragon/Xyz/Pendulum/OU 2/Scale 4

"When Xyz Summoned by using a Xyz Monster with a level, all Monsters you control which are level seven or lower are destroyed and you take damage equal to that amount!"

"But I don't have any!" Shark smirked.

"When Servant Dragon is used, one Monster on your field becomes level one, I target your Fusion!"

Red Paladin LVL: 1

"Take its attack as damage!" Yuto yelled. Shark's Fusion Monster was wiped out before him.

"And there was me thinking that you would actually do something useful. Thanks to your kind gift, one of the cards you allowed me to draw is this! Absorb Shark! I can summon it in defence!"A white shark with black stripes emerged.

Absorb Shark ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Water/Fish/LVL 3

"When I would take effect damage, Absorb Shark can appear and its defence becomes the amount of damage I would've taken.

Absorb Shark DEF: 3000

"Damnit…." Yuto said.

"Your petty rage Yuto… you summoned the wrong Monster!" Shark said.

"No I didn't!" Yuto replied back.

"You've got no more moves to make… except this… END YOUR TURN!" Shark yelled in pure glee.

"Not yet! I banish Boots from my graveyard to add a Phantom Knight Spell or Trap from my deck! I add The Phantom Knights' Round Blaze and I set it!" Yuto said. "I next switch Gloves to defence… I'm not out yet… I shall end this… with your death!"

Turn 6

Yuto LP: 900 Hand: 0

Shark LP: 2300 Hand: 2

"I don't know what you're planning but this all ends now!" Shark yelled as he drew.

"I will kill you Ryoga Kamishiro, and nothing will stop me at that!" Yuto's dark aura and eyes glowed even more. He smirked.

Synchro Dimension

"I will kill you Ryoga Kamishiro, and nothing will stop me at that!"

"Yuya?!" Yuzu yelled. Yuya was on the doorstep at Martha's.

"I will end all!" Yuya's eyes glowed red as he went to attack Yuzu.

"Not happening you scum!" said a female voice. Pendulum Warrior emerged before Yuzu.

"No you fool! That'll make him angrier!" Yuzu replied. "What's happening?!"

"I guess when he merged with that Xyz dragon… a link was left between the two!" Warrior replied. Ruri ran out and saw Yuya.

"What's happening?" she asked.

"I don't know… but it might have something to do with Yuto!" Yuzu replied.

"I'll try and talk to him!" Ruri said as she did, she felt a force stop her. Pendulum Warrior blocked her way.

"I can't allow you to approach." Pendulum Warrior said. A warrior emerged from Ruri's deck, she half black and white and had wings on each side. It was Uriel.

"Allow her; the angels wouldn't want this, Pendulum Warrior." Uriel said.

"I know you looked after Fiona, but she's not here!" Warrior said. "She was taken when this Xyz shell lost her bracelet. Ciel is our leader and she made sure that no harm came to the girls…."

"Yuya, please stop!" Ruri yelled.

"I will kill you Ryoga Kamishiro!" Yuya yelled again.

"Let her Warrior, let her pass!" Yuzu ordered. Warrior did not listen to her until she saw Ruri's cries. "Warrior please let her go I will not leave her alone.

"Fine! She can do it but if it hurts her, I'll knock him out." Warrior shouted while Ruri tried to talk to Yuya.

"Yuto, are you there, please tell me something."

"Ryouga Kamishiro you are a damn traitor and coward." Ruri listened to the words as she tried to put his hand on his face.

"Please do not be like that, remember what you told me to leave behind my hatred.

"I do not care." Yuto's words caused Ruri to enter shock as she begun to cry

."The connection between Ruri and the dragon… between them it's broken..." Uriel exclaimed.

Ritual Dimension

"I will kill you Ryoga Kamishiro!" Yuto yelled.

"How nice." Shark said. "I'll end this duel this turn! I attack!"

"I use my set Quick-Play Spell!" Yuto said. "The Phantom Knights' Round Blaze! During the Battle Phase, I banish two cards from my field and graveyard to end the Battle Phase! I banish Trap Tribute and Boots!" Both cards were banished and Shark's Xyz was stopped.

"Pointless!"

"No because now every Monster on the field is destroyed and we both take 800 damage for each one destroyed on our fields!" Odd-Eyes Rebellion was destroyed on Yuto's field with Absorb Shark and Silent Honour were destroyed from Shark's. A must dust cloud came rolling in.

Yuto LP: 900 – 100

Shark LP: 2300 – 700

As the cloud ended, Shark had a Monster on his field.

"What's that?!" Yuto yelled.

"Say hello Yuto to my Damage Shark!" Shark yelled. It was black with gold stripes. "When I take battle or effect damage, it's summoned from my hand with attack equal to the damage I took!"

Damage Shark ATK: 1600 DEF: 0 Water/Fish/LVL 3

"The Battle Phase has ended, it's pointless!"

"You're not in your dragon state… just a very angry state… it means you're stupid!" Shark replied. "You made blind errors and this will end it for you! I tribute Damage Shark to inflict its attack points as damage!"

"No!" Yuto said as he fell to the ground. The shark exploded and a energy hit Yuto from it, sending him flying.

Yuto LP: 100 – 0 Shark Wins

Shark looked at Yuto who had been knocked out. Shark was about to teleport him away until he was hit in the face with an object.

"What was that?!" Shark said. There was Shingo throwing rocks.

"Keep away from him!" Shingo yelled. Shingo picked up more rocks.

"I'm collecting my prize!" Shark was about to hit the button until a bigger rock was thrown, making Shark bend down in pain.

"Come on Yuto!" Shingo said as he was able to carry him away as Shark remained blinded.

Shark stood up but no-one was around. Shingo had been able to get Yuto out of that area. Shark looked at the floor and saw something, the torn picture of Shun, Ruri and Yuto. Shark looked at it with a confused look.
