Original World – A Long Time Ago

"No! You don't need to kill it!"

"But we can put it out of its pain and suffering!"

On a grassy plain, a young female who looked like Ruri sat alongside a young Dark Rebellion, they were looking at an injured bird. Ruri's angel-self, Fiona, was trying to help it while Dark Rebellion which to kill it to avoid its suffering.

"We can help it…. we will just repair his wing." Fiona said.

"But even then we don't know if he's got any internal injuries…. it will be more suffering for it!"

"I understand your point Dark but we have to at least try."

"Ok, let's move." Dark Rebellion said.

Xyz Dimension – 6 Years Ago - Park

"You remember when we first met?" An eight year old Ruri and Yuto swung on some swings next to each other.

"Since the first day of school, of course!" Yuto replied.

"And Shun didn't like you at first!" Ruri laughed.

"Well he's two years older… I understand why he was captious!"

"And now we're all best friends together!"

"Yeah but he still watches us closely!" Yuto replied back with a laugh as in the distance, Shun kept an eye on the two.

Xyz Dimension – A few months before the war

"Shun, on your left!" Yuto yelled in the ruins of Xyz, Yuto had his duel disk out as Shun took down another duelist.

"What would you do without me, hey Yuto!" Shun said.

"Watch it…. I'm the smart one, remember!" Yuto joked back.

"Maybe I'll allow you to date Ruri after this…."

"You know we're just friends!" Yuto replied back in shock. "Anyway… you'd be watching… as ever…."

"Well of course… you're my best friend but she's my sister….!"

"Boys…." Ruri jumped down from a roof and onto the ground."More fighting… less talking!"

"Go Diamond Dire Wolf!" Yuto commanded as a sliver wolf clawed away at another duelist.

LEVEL THREE CLEARED

"Yes!" Yuto and Ruri cheered as Shun remained calm.

Ruri, Yuto and Shun took off a helmet in an arcade as they looked at each other.

"We made a new high score!" Yuto said.

"Yeah, but now I'm hungry!" Ruri added as they turned around to see Rio, Kaito, Haruto, Shark, Luna and Anna along with Sayaka and Allen who were watching them.

A little while later the group were sat at different tables with Ruri and Yuto alone on a separate one. On another table it was Allen and Shun.

"Hey, do you want some binoculars or something." Allen laughed.

"What do you mean?!" Shun said annoyed.

"Well…. it's good to watch things with… such as your sister and your best friend!"

"Go play with your train set and tracks, choo choo boy." Shun turned and watched again as Yuto and Ruri were laughing

"Enough of that little bro." Anna said as she grabbed her brother Allen by the ear.

"Oi! What did I do?!"

"Existing…." Anna replied as she dragged him off.

"You should really let them have a date or something." said Shark as he sat down in the vacant seat.

"Yeah and what would you know?" Shun said.

"I do not spy on Rio and Anna every second of the day ... if they like each other let them. Also Ana has a bazooka that flies. "Ryouga said while he had images in his head of when Ana thought he was spying on her first date with Rio." Thought, Your parents are cool with it ... why are not you? "

"Because Ruri has always needed help… when she begun to walk, I was there to help her. When she was about to speak, I helped her… when she was going to go-"

"Yeah I get it… but Ruri has her own life, let her live it." Shark added.

….

"See you guys later!" Ruri said as the group left as Ruri and Yuto waved goodbye as the night rolled in.

"That was fun." Ruri said as she turned to face Yuto.

"I see Shun is giving us a bit more space…." Yuto said.

"Yeah… might as well take it." Ruri was about to kiss Yuto but Shun saw this and dashed in-between.

"Sorry Yuto, it's a school night, we have to go… see you tomorrow. Come on Ruri."

"Oh… um… bye." Yuto said awkwardly as Ruri looked back with her hand being held by Shun as he dragged her off.

Months Later - War

Ruri, Yuto and Shun ran into a damaged building, breathing as fast as they could.

"No….. Kaito…. Allen… Sayaka….. our friends…. gone!" Ruri said with floods of tears.

"We will get them back." Yuto said as he peered over the window to see an Ancient Gear Monster walk across.

"Mom and Dad… gone…." Shun added in despair.

"Hey my foster parents are gone as well… don't act like you're unique!" Yuto yelled at Shun.

"You what?!" Shun leapt onto Yuto and raised a fist.
"GUYS!" Ruri said with tears again. "STOP IT!" she screamed. Shun paused as he looked at his fist, he pushed Yuto down to the ground before getting up.

"You're not worth it." Shun said to Yuto.

"Ruri… I'm sorry." Yuto said.

"I just… want everything to go back to normal!" Ruri yelled.

"Get a grip! We need to survive!" Shun yelled to her.

"Leave it, Ruri is crying!" Yuto said.

"Leave it?!" Shun got back up and faced Yuto. "Don't question my authority, we're a squad and I'm your leader! Plus she's my sister, you're just a friend!"

"I care for you both! Don't let your emotions get in the way!" Yuto shouted back.

"If it's a choice between saving you or Ruri… it's not even a contest."

"Of course, she's your sister! But you're not acting like it!" Yuto replied.

"We're kids, not warriors!" Ruri yelled as she ran out.

"RURI! YOU STUPID GIRL!" Shun followed her, Yuto as well. They turned and saw three Academia warriors, Yuto and Shun prepared themselves as did Ruri.

….

Academia Warriors 0 – Yuto Shun Ruri Win

Shun got out his duel disk and carded one of the warriors, Yuto and Ruri were about to retract their duel disks as they looked away.

"Do it then?!" Shun said.

"We're not carding them!" Yuto said.

"Your first duel… and you won't card them?!"

"Look Shun, you might like carding them but we vowed not to!" Ruri said.

"You will or they'll just return and harm more! DO IT!" Shun said. Ruri hung her finger over the duel disk button.

"Ruri…." Yuto said. Ruri lingered over the button.

"We're soldiers now, do it!" Ruri hit the button as she fell to her knees. Yuto sighed as he carded his opponent as well. He dropped to the floor to comfort Ruri.

"It's okay… you're not alone." Yuto replied.

"This is her fault for running off." Shun said. Yuto could only look with anger at Shun.

Xyz Base

"OUCH!" Shun held his cheek as he looked at Anna at the base. Anna had slapped him.

"How dare you… how dare you do that to Ruri!" Anna yelled.

"This is your fault!" Luna said. "Since Ryoga disappeared before this war begun…. you've been out of control!"

"How dare you question me?!" Shun said. "Ruri messed up! Same as Yuto!" In the corner, Yuto comforted Ruri with Haruto with them.

"We're losing people everyday…. not just in terms of numbers…. we're losing them because they no longer trust you! They're going out to fight on their own because they refuse to follow your orders!" Luna said.

"None of you are willing to overthrow my leadership however…. you're all talk." Shun said.

"No! We just don't want to mess things up even more! Ruri was proud to see you take charge… then you let the war make you go mad!" Anna added.

In the other corner Yuto had his hand on Ruri's as they sat, Haruto knew he couldn't say anything more so decided to leave the two alone. They embraced each other shortly afterwards.

"It'll be fine." Yuto said.

"No it won't ….. it can't."

"Don't Ruri, don't lose your hope! It's the only think keeping us going!" Yuto said.

…..

Ritual Dimension – Present Day

"Ah!" Yuto yelled, a cold cloth fell off his head as Shingo jumped.

"Hey! I'm trying to help you!" Shingo said.

"What happened?!"

"You eyes went all funny and you collapsed…. a thank you would be nice…."

"Shark….. Yuzar!" Yuto said.

"All gone, we're alone in this lonely world." Shingo said.

"We have to go after them!"

"We can't, the duel disks still can't teleport…. the blockage is still in place."

"Oh yeah, Academia must still be here… somewhere. A base, we can turn off the block there and return to Synchro."

"And we can find this base how?" Shingo said.

"They want me, remember, I'm the bait." Yuto tried to stand up but he couldn't so Shingo had to help him and hold him up.

"You're in no position." Shingo replied.

"I am….. if you help me….!"

A Little Later

"Find them! Find the Xyz dragon and that Lancer!" yelled a solider as they ran across the damaged Ritual world. Shingo and Yuto hid behind a wall.

"Are you sure this will work?" Shingo said.

"Remember, I lived in the ruins of Xyz, Ritual is just the same… a world destroyed by Academia."

"Fine, just don't mess it up!"

A solider walked down the alleyway towards Yuto and Shingo and Yuto got a wood stick out. As the solider walked by Yuto stuck the stick out.

The solider walked over it and tripped over with a shock d looked on his fact. Shingo grabbed him and covered his mouth while dragging him away. Yuto quickly used the stick to follow after.

…

"Talk!" Yuto said as the solider was pushed to the ground with Shingo and Yuto standing above him, his duel disk had been removed. The solider just remained quiet.

"Come on buddy, speak!" Shingo replied.

"You're going to have to make me!" the student said.

"Fine!" Yuto yelled as his eyes went slightly more blue.

"Wait!" Shingo said as he stepped in front of Yuto. Yuto ignored him and pushed Shingo to the side as he grabbed the student.

"TELL ME!"

"Not happening Xyz dragon! My comrades will find me!" he replied.

"Fine… I will just kill you instead!" Yuto became surrounded by dark aura as Shingo appeared behind him.

"Remember Ruri or whatever her name is! We need this guy alive!" Shingo yelled. Yuto's mind flashed back to the moment in the apartment back were Ruri and Yuto were together.

Yuto's eyes turned back to normal as he looked at the solider.

"Fine… if he won't speak, we will use his duel disk!" Yuto said as he accessed it.

"So this place reminds you of Heartland?" Shingo said.

"Yes it's a wreckage like my home but as we know, Ritual got evacuated… well those lucky enough to get out at least." Yuto replied.

"What was it like? Before the war?"

"Colourful… happy…. just… my home." Yuto said. "We will rebuild it… soon." Yuto gained a map on the duel disk.

"Anyway, I better give your duel disk this." Shingo hit his duel disk as a download was given to Yuto. "You have Crossover, the Action Field. It might be useful."

"Thanks but I hopefully won't need it." Yuto said. "Now, I need you to carry this guy."

"Again?! Even your friend was less demanding…" Shingo said.

"You dueled Shun?"

"Yeah and we tagged team up VS some bullies, and I beat them all single-handily!" Shingo said innocently.

"You… did?" Yuto said with a raised eyebrow.

"Me and my Pendulums are the best, no-one can compare." Shingo bragged.

"Sure, whatever, now take this guy please." Yuto said.

…..

"We can't find him…" said one warrior.

"His duel disk was removed, we couldn't trace him without it." said another.

The Academia soldiers were in a construction site with the words "Kaiba Land" on a poster nearby.

"I'm tired… we have been searching for hours."

"Enough! We're Obelisk Blue, we will not become Academia higher-ups unless we do this!" said one more.

"Don't worry guys; we will bring the show to you!"

Academia turned around and there behind a construction crane was Shingo who walked out.

"Lancer!" The soldiers said.

"And me." Yuto stepped forward with his stick supporting him.

"And the dragon!"

"Where's our comrade!" one solider demanded.

"Oh? He's here!" Shingo pointed to the crane and there at the controls, tied up was the solider.

"So you didn't card him… weak!" another solider said.

"We don't card anymore, we know what it does… powering up your Arc Area Project!" Yuto said.

"Smart, but now you'll suffer and come back with us, dragon! While the blonde will become a card!" said a female solider.

"Wait a minute people." said a male who emerged from the Academia soldiers. He wore a long purple coat with purple hair with long, spiky yellow eyebrows. "I get first blood on the dragon!"

"General Ikazuchimaru?!" said the students.

"I'll duel the dragon, you lot take out the Lancer." said Ikazuchimaru.

"That's like, one vs ten?!" Shingo added.

"We were sent to clear up after Shark and Ray….. clearly Shark failed to get you, this will earn my promotion to a Commander!" Ikazuchimaru said.

"I can't duel ten people?!" Shingo said.

"Hey, I thought you said you were better than Shun?" Yuto said. Shingo looked shocked.

"I.. I am?! I just wish I could beat more!" Shingo said with fake confidence. "Oh boy…" he thought.

"Don't worry; these goons are all the same, you will beat them." Yuto said. "But this guy though…." Yuto raised his duel disk into the air.

Action Field – Crossover Activated

The blue blocks formed along the duel field.

"Cute." said the general.

"Let's duel!" Yuto and the general said.

Turn 1

Yuto LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"I'll start! I discard Thunder Dragon to add two more Thunder Dragons to my hand!" Thunder Dragon was sent to the male's graveyard on his yellow Academia duel disk. "Next I summon Thunder King Rai-Oh!" A blue robot with drills for arms and legs appeared.

Thunder King Rai-Oh ATK: 1900 DEF: 800 Light/Thunder/LVL 4

"Next I play Foolish Burial which allows me to send Beastial Thunder Dragon to my graveyard from my deck. Next I banish Beastial to Special Summon Diana the Light Spirit!" A female in a long white dress with blonde hair appeared.

Diana the Light Spirit ATK: 1700 DEF: 1000 Light/Thunder/LVL 4

"I play the Spell CardThunder Dragon Fusion! I send back to my deck Thunder Dragon and Beastial to Fusion Summon! I Fusion Summon the almighty Superbolt Thunder Dragon!"

Superbolt Thunder Dragon ATK: 2600 DEF: 2400 Dark/Thunder/Fusion/LVL 8

"You cannot add cards from your deck to your hand…. thanks to Superbolt and Thunder King!"

"Two Monsters with the same effects… he's locked me down twice…" Yuto said.

"I end my turn with a face down!"

Turn 2

Ikazuchimaru LP: 4000 Hand: 2

Yuto LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"My move!" Yuto drew. "I set my Pendulum scale with scale oneThe Phatom Knight: Skull King and scale five The Phatom Knight: Ghoul!"

Skull 1 – 5 Ghoul

"I Pendulum Summon two Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak!" Two blue faced ghost appeared in a black cloak and a red scarf.

The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak ATK: 800 DEF: 1000 Warrior/Dark/LVL 3 X 2

"I overlay my two level three's!" Yuto yelled.

"I Xyz Summon, rank three-"

"Wait a minute! I tribute Thunder King and use his effect! I tribute it to negate the Special Summon of a Monster!"

"What?!" Yuto said as Thunder King disappeared as he was left with two remaining Monsters. "I set two cards and end my turn!"

"During your End Phase, Spirit increases my lifepoints by 1000!"

Ikazuchimaru LP: 4000 – 5000

Turn 3

Ikazuchimaru LP: 5000 Hand: 2

Yuto LP: 4000 Hand: 0

"Draw! I play Reload which allows me to shuffle my two Thunder Dragons back to my deck and then draw two more cards! I play my Continuous Trap, Thunder Dragon Streamer and next I summon Origin Thunder Dragon!" A small white orb appeared with a spark in the middle.

Origin Thunder Dragon ATK: 0 DEF: 2000 Light/Thunder/LVL 1

"When a Thunder Dragon is summoned, Thunder Dragon Streamer allows me to banish one Thunder Dragon from my deck to destroy a Spell or Trap you have on the field! I banish Bolt Thunder Dragon and I destroy the card on your left!" A thunderbolt shot down and hit Yuto's Trap.

"Thank you." Yuto smirked.

"You won't be smirking for long! When Bolt is banished, I can add a Thunder Dragon card to my hand from my deck! I add Thunder Dragon Fusion but now I banish my first Thunder Dragon Fusion from my graveyard to add one Thunder Dragon Monster to my hand, again from my deck! I add Thunder Dragon!"

"What is he planning?!"

"I now use my second Thunder Dragon Fusion to send Origin Thunder Dragon,Bolt Thunder Dragon and Thunder Dragon back to my deck to Fusion Summon once again!"

"Another Fusion?!"Yuto said.

"Appear Thunder Dragon Lord!" A three headed green dragon appeared. Blue sparks surrounded it.

"Go Spirit, attack!" Spirit unleashed a thunder wave which hit one of the Cloaks.

Yuto LP: 4000 – 3100

"You should've Pendulum Summoned them in defence! Superbolt Thunder Dragon, attack!" Superbolt unleashed more thunder as Yuto took another hit.

Yuto LP: 3100 – 1300

"Too easy! Attack Lord!"

"Don't think so! Go the Continuous Trap Phantom Knights Fog Blade and I equip it to Thunder Dragon Lord, this negates its effect and it can't attack!"

"Seems you had a backup… shame your other friends didn't!"

"What do you mean?!" Yuto yelled.

"I served in Xyz under Ryo…. one day I carded ten children… they were crying for their parents…. only they're parents had already been carded!"

"I know, I was there. You can't gloat over things which I saw with my own eyes."

"How disappointing, I want to fight the dragon!" Ikazuchimaru said. "Well I guess it's impossible…. well would he come out since he probably knows what's happening to the Ritual dragon!"

"Yuzar?! What?!" Yuto said.

"He's dying of course!"

"False! Lies!" Yuto said angered.

"I mean… both Yuzar and the Ritual dragon will soon be deceased!"

"You leave my brother alone!" Yuto's eyes lit up as a purple aura surrounded him; Shingo looked at him but had to return to his own duel.

"There he is!"
"You wanted me? Fine… but you dare hurt Ancient One! Now I shall end your pathetic sad life here!"

"Being able to beat the Xyz dragon while he's in control will get me my promotion! I end my turn!"

Turn 4

Ikazuchimaru LP: 5000 Hand: 1

Dark Rebellion LP: 1300 Hand: 0

"I draw!" Dark Rebellion said. "I banish Phantom Knight Wings from my graveyard to allow me to return another servant of mine! The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak!"

The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak ATK: 800 DEF: 1000 Warrior/Dark/LVL 3

"I banish my second Ancient Cloak to add a Phantom Knights Card to my hand from my deck! I add Ragged Gloves!" A ghost monster with huge mitts emerged onto the field.

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

"Now….. since you so wanted to see me and the seal is wearing down each day… let me show you a real bit of myself!" Dark Rebellion smirked as two giant black wings emerged from his back, shocking Ikazuchimaru.

"What is that?!"

"What? Scared?" Dark Rebellion grinned. "Now let's use this new toy I gained!" Dark Rebellion jumped high into the sky as his wings started to flap.

Within in a second Ikazuchimaru saw the dragon disappear and he felt a chill down his spine as Dark Rebellion had landed behind him.

"I looked at all those Action Cards… rules are you take the one you grab… well I can go so fast and read them all before taking them, I guess that's quite a talent I've got!"

"What did you get?!" the general said in panic.

"Level Force! I send a Monster from my deck to the graveyard to turn all my Monsters I control into that level! I send level seven The Phantom Knights Dragon and now my Monsters become level seven!"

Cloak & Gloves LVL: 7

"I overlay my two level sevens!" Both entered into the Xyz whirlpool as Dark Rebellion smirked. "The Monster who'll bring you your death! Arise Dark Anthelion Dragon!"

"Dark Anthelion?!"

"A new Pendulum Xyz to showcase my merging!" A dragon which looked similar to Dark Rebellion emerged. This dragon had bigger wings with jewels for joints. It roared with pure rage upon being summoned.

Dark Anthelion Dragon ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500 Dark/Dragon/Xyz/Pendulum/RNK 7/Scale 10/OU 2

"I use The Phantom Knight: Ghoul's Pendulum effect, I equip Servant Dragon to my Xyz Monster!"

Anthelion OU: 3

"When I use Gloves to Xyz Summon a Dark Monster, the Xyz Monster gains 1000 attack!"

Anthelion ATK: 4000

"I detach an overlay unit to reduce you're a Monsters attack by halve… and increase Anethelion's by the same amount and my lifepoints!"

Anethlion OU: 2

"I choose Dragon Lord!" Anthelion glowed as it got stronger while Lord lost strength.

Anethion ATK: 5600

Dark Rebellion LP: 1300 – 2900

"I still have enough lifepoints to survive!" Ikazuchimaru said.

"You forget… you awakened me… the card I drew was from my own deck… not Yuto's! I play the Field Spell Dark Dragon Pain!" The field changed from Kaiba Land to a pure arena filled with darkness.

"What is this?!"

"This negates all your Monsters card effects and this card cannot be destroyed… but you take no damage from battles involving your Monsters and I can't attack you directly.. Go Anethlion!"

Anethlion struck down at Dragon Lord and destroying it with no damage given. Anethion then struck the other two Monsters once again with no damage.

"What was the point?!" Ikazuchimaru said.

"I end my turn… rest in peace…"

"What?!"

"During the End Phase, all the damage you would've taken along with my Anethlion's attack is added up and dealt to you as damage. I won this duel the moment you awakened me, I knew that from the first second. I was planning on dealing you enough damage to eradicate you, human scum!"

A thunderstorm appeared above him and striked him unleashed a massive scream as the Field Spell ended, Dark Rebellion watched in all its glory.

Ikazuchimaru collapsed to the floor as Shingo and other students looked at him.

"General!" the students stopped the duel and ran over to him.

"He has a pulse! Only a small one though!" said one.

"Get him back to Academia!" said another as they opened a teleport by hitting a remote in the general's pocket.

"The dimensional block is lifted, go go!" said the students as they all left, none seemed to be aware of Dark Rebellion's presence.

"How disappointing… my power isn't anywhere near strong enough to kill someone….. but it's getting closer!" Dark Rebellion said as he looked at Shingo before collapsing.

"Yuto?! Yuto?!" Shingo said. "Come on, let's go back to Xyz! Your duel disk should open the portal to the Resistance base!"

…

Original World – A Long Time Ago

"Fiona!" A young Dark Rebellion flew onto the field as Fiona was looking scared above. A reaper ghoul had launched an attack on Fiona who had been crying.

"Dark, be careful!" Fiona said as the dragon grabbed the reaper and punched it numerous times. As the beating went on, Fiona realized her friend was going out of control.

"How dare you do this to my best friend! DIE! DIE!"

"STOP IT!" Fiona grabbed Dark Rebellion by the tail and pulled it, hurting Dark Rebellion who looked at her with red raging-eyes which caught Fiona off-guard and making her more scared.

"I'm doing this to protect you?! Do you not appreciate what I do?! This is YOUR fault for not killing that bird, it still died and you came running out here in dangerous lands, CRYING!"

"Stop it Dark, this isn't you… please don't fall into darkness!" Fiona said. Dark Rebellion looked at the reaper as it disappeared, it was too late, Dark Rebellion had taken a life.

Flashback End

Xyz Dimension

Shingo and a wounded Yuto walked through a black portal, there Luna, Rio, Haruto and Anna saw them. They had arrived at the Resistance base. Yuto had a few tears run down his face.

"Yuto?!" said the group in panic.

Fusion Dimension – You Show School

"So all we have to do is say "Freedom" to Ray and Gloria?" Grace said.

"Yes as I programmed them myself while undercover, I made sure to put a code in to free them from their brainwashing. It's not a parasite so it will be easy." Austin added.

Austin, Grace, Sora, Yusho, Masumi, Gongenzaka and Yusho were in an office while Reiji saw to Reira.

"Just mentioning that bug gives me creeps." Masumi said.

"Well you burnt the cards now, it's over." Yusho said.

"Yes but we must free Ray and Gloria!" Gongenzaka said. "We need to return to Synchro!"

"But the transporter programme was disabled in my duel disk…" Sora said.

"Yeah and mine too." Grace said.

"We had to remove your duel disks from the plane… we had to drop them into the ocean. Even if we had them, Academia would be able to trace us and I'm sure the teleporting would've been disabled." Austin said.

"Yes, Mina made the duel disks almost impossible to crack." Sora replied.

"So our Lancer duel disks are blocked from teleporting… and only Academia duel disks can." Gongenzaka said.

"Not exactly." Austin said.

"What? What is it?!" Grace said.

"Well… you've all been here for a few days, recovering and resting… Reiji has been… well working on something." Austin added.

"If it's something we can use, we need to use it!" Grace said.

"Well if you recall, You Show can create cards thanks to the summon energy from our cards, especially from Reiji's whose deck was created from this energy he collected back in Standard. Reiji with his knowledge has placed a Synchro energy within a blank card… now if his theory works, it should teleport the user to Synchro when placed into the duel disk but…."

"But what?!" Grace said.

"While the card is undetectable to Academia scanners since it's a blank card…. but… Reiji said it could also throw the user into a void between dimensions. In other words, the person who uses it could be trapped forever within a gap between the five worlds."

"So what?!" Grace said. "Give me the card!"

"No way, I shall do it." Austin said.

"Why, because you're the hero around here?!" Grace said, annoyed.

"No because I did this to them!"

"She's my sister… and Ray is corrupted thanks to my old school…" Grace said sadly.

"No. I will do it." Sora said which caught them all out by shock.

"Sora?" Austin said.

"I have nothing to lose." Sora said. "I came from an orphanage and… I have nobody. If I die, I won't be a miss."

"Sora you take those words back right now." Yusho said. "As the adult here, it is my-"

"No, I can't allow that, Mr Sakaki." Sora said. "I know it takes ages to make new cards so we only have one chance at this right now. "I have to do this, please."

"Sora I can't…." Yusho saw the look on Sora's face and knew he wasn't going to change his mind. "Sora…. you have made mistakes but what you said was nonsense. My son and Yuzu from what I hear loved you as a friend… you said it yourself, you wanted to get back to them along with Gongenzaka… you might be an orphan but you're not alone, not anymore."

"I'm not?" Sora said.

"No you silly blue fuzzball." Grace said. "Please don't do this Sora…."

"I have to… for my friends and Ray… this is something I have to do!"

"I understand." Yusho said as the whole room hugged Sora except Yusho who only smiled.

A little while later, Sora with a backpack on had a You Show duel disk on as he placed the blank card slightly into the duel disk, it needed one last push for it to activate. Sora looked at the school who smiled and waved to him, Masumi was slightly crying along with Gongenzaka.

"Here we go!" Sora put the card into the duel disk as he vanished. The group could only watch on as his fate was now unknown.

A/N Thanks to Rom for his ideas again as ever. Fantasymaker76 your idea was basically what was coming actually! Didn't forget Shingo or Yuto so good timing really! Also Yuzar in jail will be done but not as a full chapter like this one. Thanks for your review!

Also quick note that the general here was the Thunder Monarch guy in GX!

Summer Landsdown- Thanks and yes I'm taking your ideas on board, thanks very much!

Veracity – Your idea is so long I need more time to read it, only on part 5 at the minute, I promise next chapter will have a full answer. I am really sorry but I wrote VRAINS AU week so not had much time. I really do appreciate it and thank you for it again.

Samueljoo - Thanks dude and those ideas are ones which could easily happen!

OC Cards to be added.
