"I set two cards and end my turn!" Ray said.
Turn 5
Yuzu LP: 2750 Hand: 1
Ray LP: 2750 Hand: 1
"I draw!" Yuzu said. "I Pendulum Summon! Appear Queen Knight: The Chosen One of the Gods!"
Queen Knight: The Chosen One of the Gods [2800 ATK / 1900 DEF / Light / Level 6 / P.S.3 / Warrior / Pendulum]
"When Pendulum Summoned, I can add a Ritual Monster and Spell to my hand from my deck!" Yuzu had two cards appear from her deck and she grabbed them.
"Ritual?! Against me?!"
"Yeah Ray, you gave me this power! Go my Ritual Spell, Altar of the Goddess! I tribute Mozarta!"A circle appeared before Yuzu and Mozarta flew into it. A girl with a blue-clad staff manifested on the field in defence.
Melodious Prima the Exceptional 500 ATK / 2500 DEF / Light / Level 7 / Fairy / Ritual
"Samurai gains 300 attack for each level four or higher Monster on your field and in your graveyard! You have three!"
Samurai ATK: 3700
"I need to speak to Samurai properly!" Warrior tried to take off her cracked amour but before she could, Ciel and Mozarta appeared and stopped her.
"Yeah… not the place…" Ciel said.
"I look stupid?!" Warrior said as she struggled with her two friends. The Lancers who could see spirits just look on with bemusement as they fought between themselves.
"Help us please!" Ciel said to Prima, Smyth, Chosen and Valkyrie all joined in to stop Warrior from breaking out.
The audience couldn't see the spirits of Mozarta or Ciel but they saw the other Monsters holding onto Warrior, they all looked clueless as the struggle went on. Samurai looked embarrassed as Ray also looked the same but was now annoyed.
"Make your damn move!" Ray yelled.
"Fine! Warrior, attack Samurai!" Yuzu looked at Warrior who was reluctant.
"I… um…"
"Warrior?! The chance to attack will end!" Yuzu said. Warrior had to since Yuzu commanded her to and Warrior knew she had to.
"Fine!" Warrior shot down to the on-looking Warrior.
"Once per turn when a Fairy Monster attacks, Melodious Prima the Exceptional doubles the attack until the end of my turn! Warrior is also treated as a Fairy Monster via her effect!"
Warrior ATK: 5000
Warrior charged down with her bare fists to take down Samurai as the Ritual Monster split into clones again.
"That won't work!" Ray said as she looked at Yuzu.
"Why not?!"
"So naïve!" Warrior was able to get through numerous clones but her energy was weak and she stopped, looking tired. "Now is my chance!" Ray saw an Action Card and grabbed it at speed. "I play Evasion to dodge it!"
"No!" Yuzu had Warrior return to her field. "My turn ends there."
Warrior ATK: 2500
Turn 6
Yuzu LP: 2750 Hand: 1
Ray LP: 2750 Hand: 1
"Draw!" Ray said. "Since Warrior and Samurai seem so hesitant to fight…. I will help them! Go the Trap Ritual Loop!"
"What is that?!"
"I banish a Ritual Spell from my graveyard then I take control of Warrior! When Warrior leaves the field, I add the Ritual Spell back to my hand! I banish Ritual of the Fusion and now Warrior comes to my field!"
"No!" Warrior screamed as she appeared on Ray's field looking scared.
"I play Spirit Luck! I discard a Spirit Monster to the graveyard from my hand to draw two cards; I can't battle this turn however!" Ray sent Asura Preist to the grave as she drew two more. "Now I play my Spell Ritual Down! I tribute one Monster on my field which isn't a Ritual Monster and then my Ritual gains that Monsters attack! Be gone Warrior!"
Warrior screamed as she was dragged into the card as Yuzu couldn't bear to watch.
"Since Warrior left the field, Samurai loses 300 attack however." Ray added.
Samurai ATK: 3700 – 3400 3400 – 5900
"5900?!" Yuzu said.
"Yes and now thanks to Ritual Loop, Ritual of the Fusion returns to my hand! I end my turn!"
Turn 7
Yuzu LP: 2750 Hand: 1
Ray LP: 2750 Hand: 2
"Draw!" Yuzu said. "Return Warrior!" Warrior emerged back on the field and this time was back to her best in full amour and a new sword as she entered via a Pendulum Summon. "Also appear Queen Knight: Amethyst Warrior!"
Queen Knight: The Pendulum Warrior ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Light / Warrior / Pendulum / LVL 7 - Scale: 4
Queen Knight: Amethyst Warrior ATK: 1400 DEF: 1400 Light/Warrior/LVL 4

DuPre the Melodious Cellist ATK: 1400 DEF: 800 Light/Fairy/Pendulum/LVL 4 - Scale 1
"I overlay my two level fours! Rough warrior surges that has faced a thousand dragons with his sword, come forth rank four, Queen Knight Arturia Pendragon!"
Queen Knight: Arturia the Pendragon 2500 ATK / 2000 DEF / Light / Rank4 / Warrior / XYZ/ OU 2
"I detach an overlay unit from Pendragon to make the Samurai's attack become zero!"
Arturia OU: 1
"I play the Trap Memory Loss! When your Monster activates an effect, I negate it from activating and it's switched to defence!"
"What?!" Yuzu said with gritted teeth I end my turn!"
Turn 8
Yuzu LP: 2750 Hand: 1
Ray LP: 2750 Hand: 2
"Draw! I now use Ritual of the Fusion!" Ray said. "This allows me to summon a Token with the same name and stats as Samurai!" A grey version of Samurai appeared.
Token Spiritual Samurai 2500 ATK / 2200 DEF / Light / Level 7 / Warrior / Ritual/Token
"And I can Fusion Summon that Token with a Ritual Monster from my deck! I fuse my Token with Shinobaron Peacock!" "She's keep both Samurai and Fusion Summoning?! Damnit!" Yuzu said."Appear…. Fallen Spiritual Samurai!" Ray yelled as Samurai returned but with darker amour and red eyes, it had a dark purple glow around it as Ray smirked.
Fallen Spiritual Samurai ATK: 3000 DEF: 1800 Dark/Warrior/Fusion/LVL 10
"Ritual of the Fusion increases its attack by 1000!"
Fallen Spiritual Samurai ATK: 4000
"What?! And Fallen's effect negates my Monsters effect is battles and inflicts damage equal to its attack after damage calculation…." Yuzu said.
"Attack Fallen! Attack Warrior!"
"Valkyrie's Pendulum effect allows me to switch one of your Monsters to defence!" Valkyrie unleashed a sound wave which forced Fallen into defence.
"Fine! Since Samurai's attack is at zero, I end my turn!"
Turn 9
Yuzu LP: 2750 Hand: 1
Ray LP: 2750 Hand: 2
"Draw!" Yuzu declared. "I play the Spell Audition Recall! I return a Melodious to my hand and then I can add a Spell or Trap back to my hand from my graveyard! Return Mozarta!" Mozarta returned as Altar was added back to Yuzu's hand.
"So you added Altar back? It doesn't matter what you Ritual Summon!" Ray hit back.
"You sure?! You see Altar has another effect when I play it… I play Altar again and now I can add a Ritual-Pendulum to my deck from my hand!" Yuzu said.
"THAT CARD?!"
"Yes! I knew I would use it later in the duel to really make you remember Ray!" Yuzu said. "I add Queen Knight: The Divine Valkyria!I tribute Mozarta from my hand and Melodious Prima the Exceptional from the field to reach the required cost! Lady of heaven, warrior sent by the heavenly angels, attend my call and fight at my side! Queen Knight: The Divine Valkyria!" The monster was as huge fairy which six white wings, three on each side and wore blue amour. She wore a helmet with long wings attached and held a spear.
Queen Knight: the Divine Valkyria 3600 ATK / 3000 DEF / Light /Fairy/ Level 10 / Warrior / P.S.13 / Ritual / Pendulum
"It's beautiful?!" Mellissa Claire yelled.
"Remember Ray, we made this card together, your power and mine, we first used it to save Masumi from Academia control…. and now I will save you! Academia will control no-one else again; this is their beginning of the end!" Yuzu said with fierce eyes.
Ray was able to grab an Action Card which had appeared; Ray remained ahead of Yuzu so always got the pick of the Action Cards.
"Yeah and I know its effect is powerful! I play the Action Card Illusion Dance! It changes all attack positioned Monsters on the field to defence until the End Phase!"
"This is getting annoying…" Yuzu said. "I need to cut off these Action Cards…." All the Monsters returned to attack.
Turn 10
Yuzu LP: 2750 Hand: 1
Ray LP: 2750 Hand: 2
"They're lifepoints remain the same…." Yuya said.
"Yuzu needs to end this soon…. the look on Ray's face is worrying." Shun added.
"I draw! I play Polymerization!"
"Of course she does!" Warrior added.
"I fuse my two Fusion and Ritual!" Both the corrupted version of Samurai fused with the normal Samurai.
"No! Samurai!" Warrior yelled.
"Save Ray!" Samurai said as he begun to merge.
"AppearSpiritual Samurai Black Oni!" A red samurai with golden markings appeared with red eyes. He had a long blade by his side with blue flames coming out the back of his head. He had devil horns.
Spiritual Samurai Black Oni ATK: 4500 DEF: 4000 Dark/Warrior/Fusion/LVL 10
"Damnit!" Yuzu said.
"You're finished." Ray said. "Oni destroys all cards on your field once per turn!"
"What?!" Oni slammed his sword down onto the track cracking it apart as Yuzu dodged it on her D-Wheel, the vibrations destroyed her Monsters and Pendulum Monsters.
"It's over!"
"When Divine Valkyria is destroyed, she goes into one of my Pendulum Zones!"
Valkyria 13 –
"DIE YUZU!" Ray yelled. As Oni attacked, Valkyria begun to glow which engulfed the entire field in a bright glow.
…
"Come on Maria, we have to go!" Ciel yelled. Maria, Ray's angel-self struggled in the battered wastelands.
"I can't….. how did it get like this?!" Maria said.
"Look we have to move, the brothers will find us if they're minions don't!"
"How did this all happen?! We were friends and then…."
"Things change Sister; we have to change with it…..!"
Linette who looked like Rin along with Fiona who was Ruri's counterpart were also with them. Elisia was also with them. The events took place just before Elisia became Dark Angel.
"We should've took them out there and then!" Elisia yelled.
"Enough!" Linette said. "Maria please, we have to go!"
"How?! Our friends are fighting our other friends, Ancient One was my best friend… how?!" Maria held her head while tears were running out of her eyes.
"Just leave her!" Elisia said.
"ENOUGH!" Ciel yelled.
"Shouting… violence?! WHY?!" Maria said as she got up and quickly ran away.
"NO MARIA!" Fiona said.
…
"What was that?!" Ray said in shock.
"Our past!" Yuzu replied."You would know that Ray.. if you were really you! I play Evasion!"
"You got an Action Card?!"
"I grabbed it while you were distracted, I had a feeling another vision would show up! They're getting more regular!" Yuzu said as Oni's attack ended.
"I set one card and end my turn! During the End Phase, Oni inflicts 1500 damage!"
"WHAT?!" Yuzu yelled in pain as she dropped lifepoints.
"YUZU?!" Yuya yelled.
Yuzu LP: 2750 – 1250
Turn 11
Yuzu LP: 1250 Hand: 1
Ray LP: 2750 Hand: 1
"I'm still standing!"Yuzu drew a card.
"But you will lose next turn!" Ray added. Yuzu looked at her two cards in her hand.
"I set scale three Serenade the Melodious Pendulum Diva!" A pink haired Melodious appeared in the other scale.
Valkyria 13 – Serenade 3
"Pendulum Summon! Appear Warrior, Smyth and Queen Knight: The Valkyrie of the South!" All three Monsters appeared in defence on Yuzu's field.
"And she can't use Mozarta as she was sent to the graveyard for the Ritual Summon from the hand…." Yuya said.
"I set one card and end my turn!"
Turn 12
Yuzu LP: 1250 Hand: 0
Ray LP: 2750 Hand: 1
"It is over! DRAW!" Ray said. "Oni's effect destroys all cards on your field!" Oni slammed his staff down and the quake formed once more as Yuzu braced herself as all her cards were destroyed before her.
"YUZU?!" Yuya yelled.
"It's over." Ray said as she looked back at Yuzu's blank field. "And I also will prevent you from using any Action Cards! I play the Trap Action Card Rejection! You can't use Action Cards this turn!"
"WHAT?! How did she get that card?!" Mellissa Claire said. "This is a new idea?!"
"So Academia finally found a card to stop them?!" Yuzu said.
"Yes and now I will take your bracelet back!" Ray said.
"Prove it!" Yuzu said. "Enough talk, ATTACK ME!"
"DON'T!" Serena and Marina yelled from the stands.
"Oni! END THIS!"
"I banish Musical Mayhem and Melodious Song Break which you just destroyed from my graveyard to use Musical Mayhem's second effect! When it's in my graveyard, by banishing another Trap, I can set a Trap from my deck and use it this turn!"
"What?!"
"I play Melodious Requiem! I sendBeethovta the Melodious Maestra and her 2400 attack gives me 1200 lifepoints!" Yuzu glowed in a yellow light as she gained life.
Yuzu LP: 1250 - 2450
"SHE DID IT!" Mercy cheered.
"Yuzu…. " Yuya replied.
"Cheap move!" Ray said. "I end my turn and you now take 1500 damage!"
Yuzu LP: 2450 – 950
"But now I fight for one more turn!" Yuzu yelled.
Turn 13
Yuzu LP: 950 Hand: 0
Ray LP: 2750 Hand: 1
"I draw!" Yuzu yelled. "I play Pendulum Halt! If I have three or more Pendulums in my extra deck I draw two cards, I cannot add cards from my deck to my hand though for the rest of the turn! Draw!"
"Pointless!"
"I play the Spell Extra Rebirth! I pay halve of my lifepoints to Special Summon a face up Pendulum Monster from my extra deck or graveyard!"
Yuzu LP: 950 – 475
"Return Valkyrie!" The mighty Ritual Monster shot down in a beam of light as she glowed upon her return.
Queen Knight: The Divine Valkyria 3600 ATK / 3000 DEF / Light / Level 10 / Warrior / P.S.13 / Ritual /
Yuzu grabbed an Action Card as she raced ahead of Ray with confidence.
"I attack, go Valkyria!" Valkyria charged up her sword and shot towards Ray. "I play the Action Card Attack Force! If you have a Monster with more attack than Valkyria gains 600 attack!"
Valkyria ATK: 4200
Valkyria launched high into the air as did Oni. Oni rose up a blade as he tried to buy time for Ray to get an Action Card but Valkyria wanted to end this quickly.
Ray saw an Action Card but Yuzu also saw it, Yuzu placed D-Wheel closer to the card than Ray and she was able to block Ray from grabbing it.
"No!" Ray yelled.
Valkyria powered up her sword which charged with lighting, she then fired lighting at Oni making him paralyzed. Valkyria charged forward and slashed him in half, causing the Monster to explode while knocking Ray off balance.
Ray LP: 2750 – 2650
"When Valkyria destroys a Monster, you take its attack as damage!"
"What?!" Valkyria appeared before Ray and grabbed her and took her off the D-Wheel while she screamed and tried to get away. "LET GO!" Yuzu spun her D-Wheel to stop in the middle of the track, she took off her helmet.
Ray LP: 2650 – 0 Yuzu Wins
Ray dropped to ground as she looked at Yuzu.
"Freedom! Freedom! Ray wake up!"
"Go AWAY!" Ray got up as rage filled within her eyes.
"That was meant to work?!" Yuzu said. "Wait… I had to say it in her ear?! Damnit!"
"I won't allow you to change anything about me!"
"Ray remember! Remember what you saw! Valkyria, your memories, the Ritual Dimension, YUZAR!"
"Yeah I do and I want nothing to do with him anymore!" Ray hit back.
"Yes you were annoyed by his overinflated ego…. but you also cared deeply for him…., this is Academia talking, not you!"
"They gave me a license to be the true me!"
"The true you?!" Yuzu said. "The real you was someone who cared, someone who wanted to be a card designer for Kaiba Corp!"
"Maria, are you in there?" Ciel said. Ray's bracelet glowed blue as a weak looking angel who looked like Ray appeared.
"I have just enough to appear…." Maria said.
"Who are you?!" Ray yelled.
"Being kept in a bracelet and away from you Ray has weakened me but…. you saw me in that vision… wanting peace… just like you do Ray."
"You're not fooling anyone! I don't want some dead angel telling me what to do with my life!"
"I know! And this is your own life but Yuzar is in danger and you need to wake up! All those you had living next door to each other! All those times you and Yuzar drew cards together, the times you laughed at Yuzar's terrible drawings!"
"Shut up!" Ray yelled, a beam shot from her deck and Samurai appeared behind.
"Going to each duel Yuzar competed in to become number two in the world!" Samurai said.
"I said I hate Yuzar for wasting my time!" Ray replied.
"No! Yuzar said that he was going to change and you knew you he was trying! Academia have removed that memory from the front of your mind! Remember it Ray!" Maria said.
"Yes you might get annoyed at Yuzar and yes you've had to use up a lot of your time to him but deep down you know you wouldn't want him any different!" Samurai added.
"No! It isn't true!" Security was about to run onto the field to grab Ray but Ray was able to run off.
Yuzu was determined to save her friend; Yuzu ran after her and grabbed Ray's hand. Yuzu then embraced her in a hug.
"LET GO OF ME!"
"Sorry Ray, this is for your own good." Maria said. "Samurai, I use the last of my powers to you….." Maria faded as Samurai gained a physical form for a brief minute. Samurai grabbed Ray and Yuzu let go.
"Save her!" Samurai said, the entire stadium now shocked that Samurai had re-emerged.
"Freedom." Yuzu said into Ray's ear.
"No!" Ray screamed as her mind begun to unravel, a rush of her old memories raced back into her mind rendering Ray unconscious.
"ENOUGH!" yelled Security as they pushed Yuzu to the ground. They grabbed Ray and dragged her off as Samurai faded.
"NO! Let her go!" Yuzu said. A guard blocked her path.
"I have no idea what weird glitch that was, but this person is now going underground for life!" said a guard.
"Ray!" Yuzu said.
As they dragged Ray down the tunnel, two shadows appeared before the guards. It was Tsukikage and Sora.
"You two! This is for high-ranking officials only!" said a guard.
"Then why are you here then?" Sora said, smirking back. Tsukikage launched some ninja smoke bombs towards the guards as they coughed and couldn't see where the two were.
"What is this?!" said a guard as he coughed. As the smoke cleared, the two guards looked around and saw Ray had vanished.
"Where is she?!" the other said.
"We're so going to get fired for this…."
Rooftop
Tsukikage rested against a wall with Sora putting Ray in a comfortable position.
"You're skills of disappearing are almost as good as mine." Sora said.
"It's not easy…" Tsukikage said. "We must get Ray away from here."
"Yes, somewhere Roget won't see us." Sora added
"We don't think so…" Tsukikage got up as there on the rooftop was Marina and Serena.
"You two?!" Sora said in shock. "But how?!"
"You forget I'm a Commander Sora… like you were." Marina said.
"Yeah well I've changed!" Sora replied.
"Did you really think the Professor was going to give Ray's bracelet back without a safety-net option?" Serena bragged. "Ray was given it to help find me… and it turns out Leo placed a small tracker on the inside of the bracelet!"
"What?! No!" Sora said in shock. Sora tried to run to Ray but Marina punched him in the gut.
"Marina, take it. Last time I held that Ruri's bracelet I teleported away." Serena said. Marina did take it and put it in her pocket.
"Fine, now you three shall be carded." Marina said.
"Grace has also redeemed!" Sora said. "I was sent here to save Gloria with Grace cheering me on!"
"Grace is a traitor; Gloria will be saved by my own hand!" Marina said.
"You can't agree to Gloria's brainwashing!" Sora said.
"I love Gloria… but I also must obey the Professor's orders without any doubt. My mission comes ahead of my personal life!" Marina said.
"Even ahead of Serena and Yuri?!" Sora added.
"….. Serena, card them now!" Marina yelled.
"We put all our orders ahead of personal feelings." Serena said.
"Well you're just as stupid as I was back then!" Sora replied.
"Wait…. we need Sora to find Yusho's base….." Marina added.
"Yeah… torture is possible." Serena added.
"I protect my comrades!" Three smoke bombs landed between the three as Serena and Marina were covered in smoke. Tsukikage, weakly grabbed Sora and Ray as he teleported away.
As the smoke cleared, Marina and Serena looked around, annoyed.
"It doesn't matter, we have the bracelet back." Marina said.
"Damn… I wanted to see you torture that blue-haired weasel." said Serena with a deeper voice.
"Wait Serena... you don't torture people without a good fight first?" Marina said with concern.
"Of course I do!" Serena's eyes lit up with darkness.
"No, Serena don't let that Dark Angel thing take over!" Marina yelled.
"Serena does follow orders…. including bad things because she wants to. Deep down, Serena is quite a nice girl…. while I'm anything but that!"
"What do you want?!"Marina said.
"It's clear as day…. I want to kill the dragons and the other angels…. you know this." Dark Angel said.
"What about Serena?"
"Eventually I will shed this body…. I will bring no harm to the rest of the world! But Academia is far too slow; we should break away and bring justice with our own hands!" Dark Angel replied.
"We need your power to make the utopia! We will be using you as well!" Marina replied.
"Oh…. I had sort of worked that out but I gave you a chance…. what happens if Serena dies? Will I die?"
"Shut up!" Marina said, Dark Angel smirked.
"I will not be captured so easily…." Dark Angel said. "When the time comes, I will rise up…. with or without your help!" Dark Angel faded away while Marina looked on with fear.
Roget Office
"What?! She escaped?! Now Sora rescued her?! Serena and Marina were seen talking to them?! This can't be?!" Roget said, losing control.
"It appears so Director." said a female worker on a big screen.
"This is getting worse…. Dennis still hasn't returned and neither have my officers who arrested him after he lost?! But it's fine…. isn't it….. TELL ME IT'S FINE!" Roget yelled to the woman.
"Of course Director!"
"So it seems with Mina now being kidnapped by Marina…. I have to do this on my own….. I still have Yuri and Ruri in my grasp….. though the girl doesn't have her bracelet but Mina was still interested in her….." Roget replied.
"What shall I do sir?" the woman said, Roget didn't answer as he hung up the call.
"They're leverage…. however there is another target I can use…" On the screen was a picture of Mikage, the councilwoman.
Cell
A day had passed since Ruri was being held in the secure cell with Yuri. Ruri had tried to ignore Yuri all night as he was trying to annoy her with him taunting her over Xyz, Ruri however would not raise to the bait. Ruri was currently trying to find a way to escape the windowless room.
"This room is surrounded by an invisible wall you said?" Ruri said.
"Yes and the door is reinforced apparently… two cells within one…" Yuri said.
"Fine! What if we try to break this wall down?" Ruri went to the back of the room and charged at the invisible wall with her elbow. As she did, she rebounded off the wall and was knocked back onto floor with Yuri laughing manically.
"That was gold!" Yuri said.
"At least I'm trying!" Ruri said.
"I'm sorry…. but it was funny."
"For someone so smart, you sure don't do a lot!" Ruri said.
"I thought you were the nice one….. back when I captured Yuto you was there, cheering him on!"
"Don't say his name!" Ruri replied, now getting angry, a feeling she didn't normally feel.
"Yuto! Yuto! Yuto! Yuto! Yuto! Yuto! Yuto!"
"You're just a little kid!" Ruri replied.
"Go on! Punch me!"
"Why would I do that?" Ruri sat down and turned away.
"Because it's fun, duh…." Yuri replied.
"Fun? Hurting someone is fun? What on earth gave you that idea?"
"Academia gave me everything! So did Marina!" Yuri added.
"Marina? That female with one eye?" Ruri said.
"Yes! The one Yuzu took out!"
"Yuzu did it by accident!" Ruri added.
"I don't know what she told you…. but it changes nothing! Academia will soon have everything and a new world will be created!"
"Don't you care about anyone?! Anyone who dies in the other worlds?!"
"No? I don't know them plus they're irrelevant compared to Fusion, we're gods walking over ants."
"You really do think that… don't you…?" Ruri said in shock.
"Of course, you seemed surprised?" Yuri replied.
"I don't believe there is such a thing as a bad person… neither are you…."
"Me? I carded people in your world! Your parents are probably going to die!" Yuri said.
"We will save my parents…. you did a bad act but you've been misguided!" Ruri said.
"Your parents won't be saved and no I haven't! Before Academia…. I pushed a boy in my orphanage down the stairs…. and do you know how it felt...? Good…. it felt…. good."
"Wh…. what? You did what?!" Ruri said.
"No doubt you will say it was because I was younger… but I would do it again…. the boy only scrapped his knee…. the stairs weren't that high… sadly."
"Why did you?!"
"The boy was going to hurt Serena! He was about to hurt her…. well I saw he was above the stairs and I saw my chance!"
"So you did it to protect her?! Well that's fine…. she was getting hurt."
"Yes!"
"Okay what if Serena got hurt by Academia?!"
"Serena got zapped when she was younger… to remove all good from within her! It worked!"
"That's horrible?! How could you let your friend have that happen to her?!" Ruri yelled. Yuri looked unconformable but he stayed silent.
"But one more thing…I don't regret pushing the boy! It saved Serena… but after that… I wanted to do it again… it was so much fun! But you know what? I do regret one thing….?" Yuri teased.
"That you did it?" Ruri said, hoping to see that Yuri did regret it.
"I didn't push hard enough."
"You're a…. monster!" Ruri said in total shock.
"No-one is purely good not even you!" Yuri said. "Now get to bed… you bore me…!"
Ruka – Streets
Down in the Commons, Ruka and the group of Commons who wanted to help Ruka get their comrades out from the underground all stood around her while in the streets.
"Okay guys, I understand you all want revolution…. and I know you guys and I don't get along much anymore but we all want to save our people and prevent it from happening again. Now, are we ready?"
"Yes!" they all yelled.
Tops – Abandoned House
Mina smirked as her energy gauge of angel energy had increased double with Ray and Yuzu dueling. There with her was Dennis who was now freed from Roget control and the officers who still had chips in their minds who were being controlled by Mina.
"Dennis…. you should be thanking me." Mina said.
"I'm still Academia! Now let me go!" Dennis was handcuffed to a pipe on the wall.
"Not yet." Mina said. "I need… something from you…. since Sergey is now gone….. I NEED you….!" Mina said like a sadist. "Boys… get him ready!"
"What?! What are you doing?!" The officers all approached him.
Ruka Home – Rin and Yugo
"This is tiring…." Yugo said as she and Rin worked on Ringo, their D-Wheel.
"Just a bit more." Rin said. "We need to install this Accel Synchro part…. it just won't fit?!"
"Ms Rin…" Callistis said. Rin's duel spirit tried to tell her something but Rin didn't look back.
"In a minute." Rin replied.
"But um…."
"Okay! According to the instructions, part 12c goes into the back there." Yugo said while reading the instructions.
"But it can't fit…." Rin said.
"But that's what it says!" Yugo replied.
"Ms Rin, I must insist." Callistis said.
"What is it?" Rin replied.
"Yugo is reading the instructions upside down." she bluntly replied.
"YUGO!" Rin yelled.
"Now these are happier times." Callistis said to herself as Rin chased Yugo around the garage with the instructions rolled up.
"Get back here you dummy!"

OC Rom Cards
Melodious Requiem/Trap Card
You can send a Melodious monster directly to the graveyard from your deck or extra deck and cancel the attack you received. If the Melodious monster that you sent to the graveyard is a Pendulum monster, you can earn half of the life points equal to the attack points of the destroyed monster.
