A/N Thanks to Rom for the duel script, he owns Marina and thanks to him for the ideas as well.
Flashback – 3 Years Ago
A dark-skinned teenager was in a damaged street, it was Marina. The Fusion war had ended three years ago Fusion was still badly damaged and without any form of authority, Marina wore insert, she was dueling in a street.
"Attack directly my Warrior of Tradition!" A red female knight hit a bulky man in ripped clothes directly; he was knocked across the street as he lost.
"Damnit!" said the man. Marina walked forward.
"Now pay up." Marina said.
"No way! You're a cheater!" said the man. "You're unbeaten because you cheat!"
"So you're refusing to pay? We have a bet." Marina said.
"And what if I am?" the man said with a cocky attitude. Marina slammed a punch into the man's gut as he collapsed onto the floor. Coins dropped out of his pocket which Marina collected.
"I'm no cheat." Marina said as she left. Watching from an alleyway where an eight year old Serena and Yuri. Marina saw them. "Why did you come here?"
"We… wanted to make sure you were safe!" Yuri said.
"Is this… how you provide for the orphanage?" Serena asked.
"You shouldn't have seen that…. real life is… tough." Marina said. "Now let's get home."
"But… you're… dueling for us?" Yuri said.
"Yuri, Serena…. I need to do something's I'm not proud of to fund the orphanage; we need to buy food and other things… items are expensive after the war."
Flashback End
Marina walked along the dusted streets, looking for the last remaining Resistance.
"Can't believe that Himika Akaba sent me here….. I lead a successful invasion of the Ritual Dimension… now I have to take orders from Ryo… he isn't even here?! I hope Serena and Yuri are safe…."
Flashback – 3 Years Ago – A Few Days after Leo Arrived
Inside the Orphanage, Marina and Yuri with Serena were dueling on the table.
"So…. who is this guy everyone is talking about….?" Yuri said.
"I don't know much myself, they call him Leo Akaba…. he came to this world and was able to repair all the buildings with some device he brought… he's saved this world." Marina replied.
"Rebuilt everything?" Serna said.
"Yeah, it's like the war didn't happen!" Marina said. "Also I heard that he's brought food and water for everyone! He says he wants this to get back onto its feet…. he wants to rebuild it and become something better!"
"Do you believe it?" Yuri said.
"I don't know… but he's been rebuilding and feeding people, how can that be bad?" Marina replied. Just then, outside, loud noises could be heard.
"What is it?" Yuri said as the three ran outside, there was other children and staff from the orphanage looking out. There they saw Leo Akaba in his purple outfit walking down the street to an amazing and thankful crowd.
Leo looked across and saw Serena and Yuri behind Marina, Leo smirked which then became a smile. As he walked towards them, footsteps were head coming from behind. It was a man in battered clothing running towards Leo.
"I'll take it all!" The man yelled in desperation.
"Stop!" Marina ran forward and tackled the man to the ground, since Leo had no guards; Leo was shocked but thankful to the girl.
"Thank you…."
"Marina, my name is Marina." she replied. "You should really have some guards, you're quite the celebrity." Some people came by and took the man.
"Wait." Leo said. Leo took a card from his pocket and threw it on the ground. As it exploded, a sight no-one could expect.
It was a full table of food, for numerous people of Fusion to eat at.
"What… what is this?!" Marina said.
"It's all completely real, don't worry." Leo said. "Let this young man go, I'm sure he's just hungry." Marina looked surprised but she did, the man looked weary but got close and took an apple. He ate it slowly but smiled.
"IT'S REAL!" he said.
"But… how?" Marina said.
"Real Solid Vision, my invention which can give real mass to objects." Leo said. Leo looked over and saw Yuri and Serena. "You look after them?"
"Um… yeah? How did you know?" Marina said.
"I did my research before I let myself know." Leo said. "I have some big plans for the young people here… including you, Marina." Leo said with a bright smile.
Flashback End
"Stop right there." a voice yelled. Marina looked around and a shadowy figure leapt in front of her. Marina could see the red scarf.
"Resistance at last." Marina replied.
"You look… different… from the rest…" Shun said. He saw Marina's purple coat It was buttoned down the right side and had an armband on her left arm along with purple pants and black boots, her purple hair which was tied up.
"I'm Marina!" she yelled.
"Marina…. no way… I heard that name from one of the students I carded… right before he begged for forgiveness…. you're a commander!"
"Yes I am." Marina said proudly.
"WHERE'S SHARK?!"
"Shark is happy, in his new home!"
"You scum kidnapped him and changed him!" Shun activated his duel disk.
"Who are you exactly, anyone who survived this long is someone who is worthy of my respect." Marina said.
"Screw your respect! I'm Shun!"
"Shun?!" Marina said as she got taken back a bit. "The… leader?!"
"I see you do know me. Good, this will make your carding more satisfying!" Shun activated his duel disk, so did Marina.
"I get to take down the leader of the Resistance, the guy who has lead to the Resistance surviving all this time!"Marina replied.
"And the card of a commander will suit the wall of carded Fusion scum quite nicely!"
"LET'S DUEL!" both yelled.

"I leave a card face down and finish my turn." Shun exclaimed as he clenched his fists, the commander observed this
"I'll just have to find a way to beat your defence."
"You must be an idiot if you think I'll let you beat me so easy." Shun responded angrily, "I'm going to finish you off and turn you into a card like your people have done with mine!"
"If you think your empty threats will do something to me, you must be pretty crazy!" Marina exclaimed, Shun only laughed because he wanted to see the commander suffer.
"I'll finish this quickly and I'll see you suffer in the process as a reward!"
Turn 2
Shun LP: 4000 Hand: 4
Marina LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"Draw! I'll start by Special Summoning Attribute Knight Raymond the Gaia Knight from my hand!" Marina exclaimed as a knight in yellow armour materialized on her field. "When Raymond is summoned to the field in this way I can add a Knight Attribute card from my deck to my hand!"
Attribute Knight: Raimond the Gaia Knight 1500 ATK / 1000 DEF / Earth / Level 4 / Warrior / Effect

"This must be a joke, you insult Xyz and proclaim that your method is superior and then use it… you make me sick!" Shun exclaimed, Marina still stood up straight. "I will finish with you and then torture you as I have done with the other!" Marina kept her eye open and then clenched her fists to watch Shun angrily.
"How many?" she yelled. Shun pulled a deck out of his pocket to show it to the commander.
"This is the exact amount. You should've seen their faces when I did!" Marina looked on in disgust, she was more angry with the rebel, Shun just laughed. "Whoah, who would've thought an Academia soldier had a heart?!"
"I'll activate the effect of Colinus! When I have one or more Monsters of different Attributes on my field, I can destroy that many cards on your field!" Marina screamed as her monster launched at one of the Raidraptor destroying it in the process. "Now I attack your monster with Colinus!"
"It will not happen! I will activate the Trap Raidraptor Readiness which means none of my Monsters can be destroyed in battle!" Shun exclaimed while an energy shield defended his monster, Marina bit her lips for failing the attack.
"I can still use one of my Wrath's overlay networks to attack you directly with him!"
Wrath OU: 2-1
The monster threw his axe straight towards Shun but was stopped by a force field that protected Shun. "If I have a Raidraptor Monster in the graveyard I can banish Readiness and this turn I will not suffer damage!"
"Then I'll just leave a card face down and finish my turn." Marina screamed.
"Did you know about the effect of Readiness and that's why you used your monster's overlay unit?" Shun asked. Marina nodded at the question.
"I knew that your card had another effect so I had to make sure you did not use it again, the good thing about having studied the all this time. "
Turn 3:
Shun LP: 4000 Hand: 4
Marina LP: 4000 Hand: 0
"Draw, you will need more than that to defeat me, I will begin by summoning Raidraptor Vanishing Lanius to the field." Once again the mechanical bird appeared.

"The effect of Vanishing Lanius is activated, it allows me to summon a Raidraptor Monster to the field from my hand, I will summon Raidraptor Mimicry Lanius from my hand." A new mechanical bird emerged, this was golden with shades of purple below.

"Then I will summon Raid Raptor Fuzzy Lanius from my hand." The purple mechanical bird emerged into the field with the other four birds.
Raidraptor Fuzzy Lanius 500 ATK / 1500 DEF / Dark / Level 4 / Winged Beast / Effect
"Get ready to build the overlay network with my three monsters." The three birds turned to energy while a vortex appeared on field, they went through it. "Obscured falcon, raise your sharpened talons in front of adversity, spread your wings of rebellion! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 4! Raid Raptors - Rise Falcon!
Raidraptor Rise Falcon 100 ATK / 2000 DEF / Dark / Rank 4 / Winged Beast / XYZ
A new bird emerged and this was larger than the others. Marina took a stand and prepared for the worst.
"Then I play Rank Up Magic Skip Force on Force Strix." Ferocious falcon Break through this fierce battle and spread your wings! Destroy our gathering foes! Rank Up Xyz Change! Appear! Rank five! Raid Raptors - Blaze Falcon!" Force Strix became energy as it rose in the sky to create a new one that had shades of red and black.

"I have not finished yet, I activate the Blaze Falcon effect which by removing an overlay unit, I can destroy all your monsters and cause 500 damage points!"

Falcon OU: 2 - 0
Marina LP: 4000-1000 = 3000
"When Wrath is destroyed, I can add an Attribute Knight to my hand," Marina exclaimed.
"Rise Falcon attacks!" Rise Falcon released rockets onto Marina. She could only dodge the first two but was hit by the final one which hit her in the stomach and two more in the chest, sending her back. When he was able to recover, she observed Shun and then cleaned the blood in his mouth.
Marina LP: 3000-1000 = 2000
"This is the end, Rise Falcon, end her!" Rise Falcon's whole body was on fire and was plummeting to eliminate what was left of the rest of the commander's life points but it was stopped by an energy field surrounding her.
"I activate my Trap Card, Deal with the Knights! I earn life points equal to half the damage it would have suffered from the attack!
Marina LP: 2000 + 2300 = 4600
"You can also take a card for the effect of Deal with the Knights." Marina exclaimed as she wiped the dust off her suit. Shun just looked annoyed.
"In my next turn I'll finish with you, I leave two cards face down and finish my turn."
Turn 4:
Shun LP: 4000 Hand: 0
Marina LP: 4600 Hand: 2
"Draw, I'll have to finish this once and for all by using Gallahad's Pendulum effect which allows me to merge Monsters using materials from my graveyard! I will use Kastirion and Colinus! "Both monsters joined a multicolored vortex. "When my soul and my ideals are in the perfect symphony, the dragon of genesis will emerge again to create the perfect world. Surge Level eight Kenos the dragon of Genesis!"
Kénos: the Dragon of Genesis 3000 ATK / 2500 DEF / Light / Level 8 / Dragon / Fusion
The silver dragon roars with intensity while next to its owner.
"When Kénos is summoned I can destroy all the monsters on your field if one of the materials was a monster of the same Attribute asKénos!" Kenos rose to the sky as his body began to shine with intensity which created a shot of energy in a shape of a bird that plummeted over the Monsters of Shun. This caused the rebel to cover his arms.
Shun LP: 4000-1600= 2400
"Kenos attack him directly!" Kenos used the energy discharge and it came directly towards Shun, creating a smoke mist in which the commander could not see anything until it dispersed and Shun was still standing.
"I activate my Trap that allows me to reduce in half the damage I would have suffered from your attack."
Shun LP: 2400-1500 = 900
"I play my set Quick Spell Rank-Up-Magic Doom Double Force! I target a Xyz Monster which was destroyed by battle or card effect and I bring it back to the field!"
Raidraptor Blaze Falcon 1000 ATK / 2000 DEF / Dark / Rank 5 / Winged Beast / XYZ
"And now I use it to Xyz Summon using it as material to summon a Xyz Monster with double its rank! Go Xyz Summon!" Blaze Falcon shot into the black and yellow whirlpool. "Appear before me, Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon!" A massive giant, robotic eagle came down from the skies. It was golden and black. It had many mighty golden wings with dark red eyes.
Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon ATK: 3500 DEF: 2000 Dark/Winged Beast/Xyz/Rank 10
As the Monster came down from the skies, Marina looked shocked.
"What on earth?!" she yelled.
"This is the sign of resistance, this is your end!" Shun yelled. "It's time for monsters like you to pay for what you've done!" Shun yelled. "Now end your turn!" Marina gritted her teeth.
"I set a card and I'm done!"
"Ultimate Falcon's effect! During the End Phase, if this card was Xyz Summoned by using a "Raidraptor" Xyz Monster as a Material this turn, all Monsters you control lose 1000 attack!"
Kénos ATK: 2000

"I….. DRAW!" Shun yelled. "I detach an overlay unit to negate the effects of all Monsters you control and they lose 1000 more points!"
Falcon OU: 1- 0
Kénos ATK: 1000
"I play my Trap-"
"It won't work, Falcon is unaffected by card effects!"
"No!" Marina yelled in shock.
"I play the Equip Spell Raidraptor Feathers! My Monster gains 200 attack X its rank!" Falcon glowed as it gained attack.
Falcon ATK: 5500
"I ATTACK!" Ultimate Falcon shot high into the sky and glowed once more. Marina could only fear for what was coming as Ultimate Falcon rained down numerous missiles around the commander. The blasts sent her flying across the ground as Kénos was wiped out.
Marina LP: 4600 – 100
"100 lifepoints… and you're rotting in the ground…." Shun said as he walked over to her. "If my friend Yuto was here… he would give you a choice to retreat… he does that to people when they hit low lifepoints… but I'll do no such thing. If the Monster equipped with Feathers destroys and extra deck Monster, it can attack again!" Marina could only look up as one more missile struck, blinding her.
Marina LP: 100 – 0 Shun Wins
Marina's duel disk was damaged and Shun stood above her.
"You're a higher-up at Academia; bit by bit I'll strip your evil school away!" Shun stamped onto her stomach. Marina yelled in pain. "That hurt? Think of what you did to my friends, my HOME!" Shun kicked her in the sides as she rolled over.
"I stand by what I did! I know it was bad for you… but Fusion is my number one prior-!" Shun stamped down onto her face as she spoke, silencing the girl.
"And Xyz is mine!" Shun was about to kick her again but Marina's duel disk bleeped. The words "Synchro" appeared on it.
"This isn't good…!" Marina said. As she spoke a white portal formed and begun to suck the two in.
"What trick is this?!" Shun yelled.
"My duel disk is damaged, it's sending us awayyyyyyyyy!"As Marina spoke, she and Shun were sucked into the whirlpool, leaving Xyz in an instance.
A/N
Okay sorry first of all, I am unable to answer the reviews and stuff since I don't have access, all I can say is thank you for them and that Ray/Yuzu is close, they're both in the same dimension now. I appreciate all ideas, and will do my best with Rom to work out the best way possible.
