Slowly opening their eyes, Marina, Serena and Dennis could see that they had teleported away from the tower.
"Where… are we?" Serena said as she got up. The group were in a dark and damp cellar. It looked like an abandoned bar. The room had the stools on the tables with dust everywhere.
"I set the teleport to take us to Edo… but where are they?" Marina said as she and Dennis got up.
"Right here." Edo said who emerged from a back room. Alongside him was Gloria was smiled at the group.
"Gloria is free?!"
"Yeah… yeah I am!" Gloria replied back. "In mind and body!"
"It's really you…!" Marina was about to hug Gloria as she walked up to her but as she did, she could remember only the pain and torture Gloria had done to Marina while brainwashed by Cobra.
"Marina?" Gloria questioned. She wasn't sure why her close friend and crush had stopped.
"Um…. it's… go-." Marina had to stop mid-sentence, she could only see Gloria as a torturer. Right in the back of Gloria's mind she could remember it all, all the stuff she did with Cobra's conditioning. The electrocuting Marina, the hate she developed for her sister Grace. She had become a different person all together.
"I was all that?!" Gloria yelled loudly, surprising Yuri and Serena with her outburst. "I tortured you?!"
"It's over now, Gloria!" Edo insisted.
"No… I did all of that….."
"What are you talking about?" Serena said.
"What happened?"
"Um… when I covered up for Gloria in Ritual, Academia found out…. and as punishment they brainwashed her to become crueler… and for her to torture me." Marina indicated in the most empty reaction and tone of voice possible.
"Leo ... ordered that?" Serena said.
"No, he did not." Marina said in the same tone of dry voice: "We made a deal, he would give you the opportunity for you to take the Blue Obelisk exam and if you lost that duel against Ray I would be converted into a card." That left Serena impacted, she did not know how to react and did not help the fact that the duelist took off his jacket to reveal the wounds made by torture, and everyone was left with the creeps.
"But you lost and that's why you should be tortured by being properly electrocuted." Just to mention the part about torture being electrocuted, Serena remembered everything that happened as a child.
"Did you do that for me?" Marina shrugged as nodded. Gloria felt remorse and disgust for herself, she had to cover her mouth and stay on her knees on the floor while tears came from her eyes, now had to live with the fact that hurt and betrayed a person who just wanted to protect and love her .
"Does it matter what that damn traitor did to you?" Yuri raised his voice, pretending to be in control while trying to simulate the crack in his voice. "You are part of the Academia commanders, behave as such or I will turn you into a card if you show any sympathy against that coward!"
Yuri approached her and took her by the neck; Marina did not react as she was still in shock.
"That traitor deserves to be sent back to be programmed to serve us once we finish our work in Synchro, understand?" Yuri said.
Edo and Dennis only observed and didn't know how to react to the situation, they could only stay silent. The academy paladin slowly removed Yuri's hand from her neck, she knew that Yuri was right the mission is more important than anything else.
"The traitor will be sent again to be reprogrammed." The duelist put on her jacket again, pushing Yuri to side and did not look at anyone in the face. "We have a job to finish here until then, Dennis, I want you to tie her hands and feet, make sure she does not escape."
Rin, Yugo, Ruri, Shun
After Marina had taken Yuri and the others away, the destruction of Starving Venom was clear to see.
The jail cell had been blown wide open while a massive hole was in the wall behind. Ruri and Yugo along with the others had finally come around after being knocked out.
"Ruri…..!" Shun said with tears coming down.
"Brother!" The two quickly hugged and almost squeezed the life out of each other, that's how strong the hugging was.
"You're safe now!" Shun said.
"And so are you." she replied.
As the two siblings had been reunited, Rin and Yugo were staring at each other.
"Rin…. you're still alive!" Yugo came running up to Rin but Rin dodged due to the embarrassment, making Yugo fall over.
"Yugo…. of course I'm still alive!" Rin yelled in frustration. She then smiled and helped Yugo up before hugging him tightly; Yugo paused but he hugged quickly back.
"I'm just glad you're safe…" Yugo said.
"Yeah, don't ever leave me." Rin replied.
"Wait are you saying you… lo…..lo…."
"Yes, Yugo. I look after you and you look after me."
"Oh… um…" Yugo rubbed his cheek as he thought Rin would say something else. "Of course, that's why we're best friends." Yugo and Rin smiled at each other.
"Okay, let's head to the docks." Shun said as he saw Tsukikage, Sora and Ushio come up the stairs after they had dealt with the Security downstairs.
Tops Dock
Yuzu's group and Rin's group had all met at the Tops dock. They were meeting in an old shipping container so they were out of sight from public view. It made the perfect place to talk about their next move.
"I'm sorry Rin." Yuzu said. "Losing Linette…."
"It's okay, we will get her back!" Rin said.
"It's good to see you guys again." Yuya said to Rin, Tsukikage, Yugo and Ruri while Ushio had left to help with the riots.
"So now what do we do?" Yuzu said. "Martial law just made this much, much tougher."
"Well Ushio was able to find this in the tower." Rin held out a walkie-talkie."It's set to hear Security talk to one another."
"That's great! Now we'll know their movements!" Ruri said.
"We have to stop Roget and Arcadia; once we do that we have a fighting chance to bring this world to some form of peace." Shun said.
"Yes and the way to start is for me to duel Aki." Yuzu said.
"You can't get through to her." Mercy added.
"I have to try… not just for me but for everyone." Yuzu replied. "Mina is also a wildcard and her location is unknown…"
"Roget will be in the main Security HQ tower." Tsukikage said. "The place we were at was a second base; the main tower will be much harder to get in."
"But with me… it won't be a problem!" Sora said, showing off about his Academia training.
"Okay with Roget and Arcadia working together, we'll get them at both fronts. You guys deal with Roget while I'll take on Aki. If we get Aki on our side, then her father might get the council on our side as well." Yuzu added. "Her mother seems to be a good person."
Commons – Martha Orphanage
"It will be okay guys." Martha said in the orphanage. She was making sure all the kids were in and the doors were locked.
"Are… we going to die?" said a young girl.
"Why would that happen?" Martha said smiling. "Like I told you all, this old gal got past Security!"
"What about Yugo and Rin… will they be okay?" a boy said.
"Of course they will! They might've lost but they will be okay. They have good friends who are working to get them out from the underground." Martha calmly said.
Martha looked out of the building and up to the Tops high in the sky.
"Yugo…Rin… please be safe." Martha thought.
"Tops will pay! It's time for our say!"
"Freedom! We will take our freedom!"
Martha and the kids could hear the now large protesters coming. Martha looked out of the window and saw at least a hundred people now marching with signs and their arms raised. People were joining each minute.
Martha looked at one of the other works and nodded. She turned around to the kids.
"Kids, I'll be back in a minute, I need to speak to Shinji!"
"You can't!" they all replied.
"It's fine, Shinji will listen to me!"
Outside
Martha walked down the street, towards the oncoming crowd. There she stood in front of them with her arms wide open.
"Martha…." Shinji said, annoyed. He held up his hand to stop the march as he walked towards her.
"Shinji…."
"Martha…. please stand aside." Shinji asked.
"You know I can't do that."
"Martha…. we don't have access to the best medical treatment down here… many have died…. all because of Tops… how could you side with them?!"
"I don't!" Martha yelled. "I had to live with the same when I was your age… this has been happening for a very long time! I saw people try to riot and protest but it never succeeded, I stand by the fact the only way to solve this is by talking!"
"And that's why your generation failed! You failed to do what was needed to make it right!"
"It's always the same, Shinji! You can't fight your way out of this!" Martha replied.
"Did you try talking to people?! Did you?!"
"….We tried but they wouldn't listen…" Martha said reluctantly.
"Well there we go! Sometimes to make a change you need to make a statement!"
"By hurting innocent people?! You wish to harm ALL Tops!"
"They never cared for us! You might be happy with the status-quo but we want a future! Now MOVE!" Shinji demanded.
"I am not! But we're stronger when we unite and talk; we just never had the perfect opportunity! But one of Rin's friends is dueling Aki, she will change her mind!" Martha hit back.
"That Yuzu girl? The same one who nearly died in the exhibition?! You're deluded!" Shinji said. "If you won't move, then we will move you! LET'S GO PEOPLE!"
"You're making a mistake, Shinji!" Martha said. "When I raised you…. I didn't except you would become like this….!"
"Everyone in Commons has either been raised by you Martha or knows of you… you're a Commons hero… which makes this more painful! Forward!" Shinji marched forward as did the rest of the protesters.
"Damnit!" Martha had no choice but to flee back to the house. Martha returned to the courtyard and looked on as the protesters all walked past. "Did I fail Shinji….?"
Roget
Roget watched on his screen as hundreds of his officers took to the street. There were live feeds of Security who were helping the Tops audience leave the stadium while Commons were being forced to remain inside.
"On the night the Commons hero Yuzu made it to the final… is the night their dreams fall!" Roget yelled. He saw more Security in the stadium as they stopped the Commons from leaving.
"Sir, we have word that Arcadia is in position." said a female worker on another screen.
"I see my now loyal council put them in their place!" Roget laughed afterwards. "Those with power still require money to learn and train…. Arcadia are no-longer an issue!"
Roget looked at his chess board near him.
"Academia will be defeated thanks to our joint forces…. Tops will heap praise on both Security and Arcadia for saving them from Academia and stopping the riots…. Once Aki defeats Yuzu, Arcadia will finally rise up but I'm already a step ahead….. my "evidence" against Arcadia will ruin them forever! Hit them when they're at their highest…. it's brilliant!" he thought to himself.
Arcadia – Office
Euridice in her office watched her own holographic screen as Arcadia students positioned themselves around the Tops. The head of Arcadia slumped in her chair.
"If I were still in charge, this would've been over and done with."
In the side of the room, the bookcase moved to the side as Divine appeared. The former head of Arcadia who everyone but Euridice thought was dead.
"Well you're not so shut it."
"You've been pinned up by Roget and the council… over funding? We have powerful students… we could kill them all instantly!" Divine said.
"Well Brother unlike you… I actually want our duelists to be as good as they can be! Without the proper training they will end up hurting themselves! I want a world for physic duelists as well but not if they will endanger themselves!" Euridice hit back.
"Best training is to let them be free! Nothing is better than real life!"
"We're so close for them all being trained… we just need to wait a bit longer for Aki VS Yuzu, I promise an elite army."
"I hope so…. you have until tomorrow to prove it…."
Arcadia Training Room
Euridice watched over her students as they practised their abilities. Joining her in the watch room was Ratio and Minerva.
"So Divine is rushing you….?" Raito said.
"Typical." Minerva added.
"You two are my most trusted students…. keeping Divine's secret is something I thank you for." she added. "Even from Aki."
"But how much longer can you hold the plan from him?" Minerva said. "If he asks one of the mind-readers…"
"He won't as I've made sure to tell him enough times he has to remain hidden…. if he comes back then all we are planning goes out of the window!"
"And Security?" Raito said.
"I admit having put mind control chips into their heads is a smart move." Euridice said. "We just need to play along a bit more to get that extra bit of money…. then we can complete the true motive."
"We will stop your brother's hold on Arcadia for good." Minerva said.
"We're loyal to you Euridice, no-one else." Raito added.
"Academia is also an unwanted distraction… Roget can handle them while we focus on other things." Euridice said.
Docks
"Okay it's sorted." Ruka said. "Let's go home… martial law will patrol this area soon since Commons sneak into Tops this way…."
"Yuzu Hiiragi!"
Yuzu and the rest came out of the shipping crate and on top of another one was Aki.
"How?!" Yuzu said.
"You were tracked by drones." Aki said.
"You're in line with Roget?!"
"Don't change the subject!" Aki jumped down. "It's a disgrace you're the best that tournament could offer… but fine I'll wipe the floor with you again!"
"Let our duel do the talking! I'm so much stronger now!"
"Are you now….? All I've seen is a girl who speaks too much and not enough action. You wish to unite this world? There are riots happening right now… a duel would distract them!" Aki had just down the gauntlet.
"The final?! Now?!"
"Scared?"
"…. Yeah of course I am!" This surprised Aki. "You put me into a coma… your dueling is nasty and dangerous but I hope you can change that! I heard how you were a good child, Aki… I met your mother!" Yuzu said with a kind tone.
"You did that…. and my father as well…. what are you… some kind of creep?!"
"I lost my father recently and… I'm not sure if I will get him back. You have two parents who wish to make amends with you!" Yuzu pleaded. "You never know when that time will come to an end!"
"The only person who I cared for… died... I shall beat you and once again prove Arcadia is top! We shall on the roads!
"A night duel? On the roads? Sounds fun!" Yuzu said.
"We don't need officials or a crowd, this is the final duel!" Aki said. "Meet me in one hour at Signer's Peak… I will have everything ready." Aki said as she walked off, Yuzu and the others all looked on as she did.
Shinji
Shinji and the now large protesters had reached the border crossing between Tops and Commons. There on the front line were at least fifty officers each with Goyo Monsters out.
"So… this is where we write history…. LET'S GO!" Shinji and his protesters all charged towards Security who all looked confident.
"GO!" yelled the officers as the various Synchro Monsters rushed towards them.
Each of the Commons summoned various Monsters on their duel disks as the Monsters clashed. The Commons ran towards Security to try and charge through as the Monsters battled it out above.
Security from behind the wall of guards fired net guns are a few groups, capturing them. They also threw smoke grenades over.
"This won't stop us!" Shinji summoned another Monster which was half bee, half warrior. The Monster slammed down onto the ground, making the officers jump out of the way.
"We need to break through!" Shinji said as he saw behind him numerous Monsters had pinned down the Commons.
"Shinji! Get ready!" yelled Damon.
"What?"
"You'll go without us! Take as many as you can!" Tony added. One of Tony's Zombie Monsters charged forward along with an Alien Monster from Damon. The knocked the wall apart as there was now an open road.
"LET'S GO!" Shinji ran as did the remaining Commons while the guards were on the floor. Damon and Tony had already been caught by some Goyos who surrounded them.
Docks
"Martha?" Rin said to her duel disk. Martha had phone the group before they were about to depart.
"Rin… are you and Yugo okay?" she said, worried.
"Yeah we're all safe." Rin said as she let Martha see Yugo via the duel disk camera.
"That's great…. I always knew you would be fine, Rin, Yugo."
"Is everything you okay?" Rin asked.
"No… Shinji is leading his protests up to the Tops…"
"What?!" she replied in shock.
"You know its martial law… but it won't keep Shinji from rising up…"
"Then we will stop him!" Rin said.
"No! Get to safety! Martial law could get you hurt!"
"Martha… I have to…. we have to!" Rin replied.
"Yeah! We finally can carry on your wish, Martha! We can change Synchro without hurting anyone!" Yugo added.
"Well….. I trust you both, just please take care." Martha replied.
"Not just us, everyone here!" Rin added.
"Okay…. change this city forever!" Martha said with pride for the two.
"We will!"
Rin and Yugo looked at the group.
"Rin, you go! Same for you, Yugo." Yuzu said.
"Why say my name twice…?" Yugo said cluelessly. Rin slammed her hand onto Yugo's head.
"We will stop Shinji and the others. Ruka and Mercy know the way to Signers Peak." Rin added.
"Yes, and I will beat Aki for you two!" Yuzu replied.
"Yeah, you can do it!" Rin replied.
Highway
Ran, Hunter, Rally, Ushio along with the other underground allies the Lancers had made stood on the highway. They had not been stopped by Security as they felt they could give up their lives instead of their own.
There coming in the distance were the protesters as they all stood firm in front of them.
"This is going to be… interesting…" Rally said.
"Bring 'em all!" Ushio said as he punched his fist.
"We're here to prevent trouble not make it worse!" Ran added.
"Move out of the way!" The crowd heard Rin yelling as she and Yugo came towards them on Shinji's D-Wheel.
"What now?!" Hunter said as the group split up, allowing a gap for Rin to pass.
Rin went through the wall and skidded to stop the D-Wheel on the central highway. Rin got off as did Yugo.
"What's happening?" Rally asked.
"I'll stop Shinji…. Yugo and the rest of you will act as backup just in case." Rin said as she walked towards the incoming crowd.
"Rin! Here to return my D-Wheel?" Shinji said sarcasitly.
"I'm here to stop you!" Rin said.
"You think you can… when Security couldn't?!"
"No because I'll duel you instead!" Rin added. "And if your followers think you can bypass me and my friends down there… don't even try!" Shinji looked behind and saw the group behind, each with tougher looking Monsters then Security had.
"Fine, I'll beat you first and take out the rest! You guys watch me!"
"Get her Shinji!" yelled the protesters.
Turn 1
Rin LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Shinji LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I'll start! I summonWindwitch – Glacier Bell!" A pink haired female in white witch dress appeared. She was riding a dark blue broom.
Windwitch – Glacier Bell ATK: 500 DEF: 300 Wind/Spellcaster/Tuner/LVL 3
"When she is Normal Summoned you take 400 damage!"
ShinjI LP: 4000 – 3600
"And now I play the Spell Double Chime! It lets Glacier reactive her effect so take more damage!" Shinji prepared again as Glacier hit him with more freezing shots.
Shinji LP: 3600 – 3200
"I set a card and end my turn!"
Turn 2
Rin LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Shinji LP: 3200 Hand: 5
"Draw! I summon Battlewasp – Pin the Bullseye!" A robotic yellow bee emerged.
Battlewasp – Pin the Bullseye ATK: 200 DEF: 300 Wind/Insect/LVL 1
"Once per turn I hit you with 200 damage!" Rin felt a small burn as she took damage.
Rin LP: 4000 – 3800
"Next I play Double Summon! This card isn't seen as a good one but like all us Commons… we need to rely on what we can get!" Shinji said.
"I know! I have the same card!"
"You're no different than Tops now! We saw you Accel Synchro! So how did you do it then? Tops pay you money for it?"
"No! You wouldn't understand!" Rin said. "Ruka helped us make the engine to go that fast but-"
"Well there we go! A rich girl like Ruka can afford those parts! Before Rin you had to salvage what you could get!" Shinji hit back.
"I know! Ringo was built from the garbage Tops threw down along with what was found in the junkyard! The same garbage that not even Tops thought those underground could reuse… but we proved them wrong!" Rin added. "Ringo was built thanks to the dream of two small children of bottom and improved thanks to the help of a top that also thinks that this system is wrong. And Accel Synchro is the technique that once a common believed as the key to open the doors to the commons for a better future and I will make sure that happens."
"That D-Wheel you stole from me was made no different. You're a hypocrite if you think you're still like us!"
"Enough of the divide! Dividing us like this won't help no-one! We must unite against those responsible who created this unjust system." Rin answered. "Yes… there are good Tops who want a change!"
"You have proof… or did Ruka just say it?"
"Ruka tried to help you as well!"
"She lost any chance of proving herself different when she ran away…." Shinji said. "Now Double Summon lets me bring outBattlewasp – Twinbow the Attacker!"
Battlewasp – Twinbow the Attacker ATK: 1000 DEF: 500 Wind/Insect/LVL 3
"Now! Twinbow attack her Glacier!" Twinbow charged forward with its needle on its tail into Glacier, making the witch scream.
Rin LP: 3800 – 3300
"Twinbow can attack twice!" Twinbow slammed its stinger into Rin who shielded herself with her arms.
Rin LP: 3300 – 2300
"Now Pin!"
Rin LP: 2300 – 2100
Rin was on the floor, crouched and holding her arm from the numerous hits.
"I set two cards and end my turn!"
"You're wrong about Ruka!"
"Now what are you babbling on about?" Shinji crudely replied.
"Back when you dueled Aki… you launched an attack but it struck Divine instead… killing him….apparently…" Rin said. "Ruka has always maintained her belief in you. She knows that you're not a killer, she knows deep down!"
"I know I'm a killer….. but Divine was an evil man…. I did this world justice!" Shinji hit back.
"You don't believe that!" Rin said. Shinji looked surprised at that comment.
"Enough! Now make your move!"
Turn 3
Rin LP: 2100 Hand: 2
Shinji LP: 3200 Hand: 1
"Draw! I summon Windwitch Breeze Bell!" A gust of wind shot across the field as a white robed witch flew in on her broom like it was a surfboard.
Windwitch Breeze Bell ATK: 1200 DEF: 300 Wind/Spellcaster/LVL 3
"Her effect allows me to return a card on my field to my hand to summon a Windwitch from my grave and then you take halve of that Monster's attack as damage!" Rin's set Spell or Trap returned and Glacier returned.
Windwitch – Glacier Bell ATK: 500 DEF: 300 Wind/Spellcaster/Tuner/LVL 3
Shinji LP: 3200 – 2950
"And now I Synchro Summon! GO Breeze and Glacier!" Both Monsters shot into the air as Glacier became the green rings. Breeze flew into them after becoming white orbs.
3+3=6
"Let's go! Synchro Summon! Level six, Windwitch – Glitter Bell!"A witch who was covered in shinny glass plates appeared. Her broom was pure glass and she had red hair.
Windwitch – Glitter Bell ATK: 2000 DEF: 1600 Wind/Spellcaster/Synchro/LVL 6
"Glitter inflicts damage to you equal to the amount of attack her Synchro Materials had!"
"What?!" Glitter glowed as it charged up a yellow beam. The beam struck Shinji in the chest, knocking him down.
Shinji LP: 2950 – 1250
"Next I shall attack with your Battlewasp – Twinbow! Go Glitter!"
"I play a Trap!" Shinji yelled. "Battlewasp – New Heights! I target a Battlewasp which is being attack, and it's treated as a Tuner and I raise its level by one!"
Twinbow LVL: 5
"Next my other Trap! Urgent Tuning allows me to Synchro Summon during the Battle Phase!"
"Damnit…"
"Twinbow tunes Pin the Bullseye!"

"Appear Battlewasp – Halberd the Charge!" A blue and yellow wasp holding a red axe emerged.
Battlewasp – Halberd the Charge ATK: 2500 DEF: 800 Wind/Insect/Synchro/LVL 6
"Now will you attack my new Synchro?!" Shinji taunted.
"Ugh… I won't…." Rin said reluctantly. "I set one card and end there."
"Rin!"
Rin looked behind and there was Ruka, who had caught up to her and the others.
"So you appear…" Shinji said while clutching his hand.
"Shinji…" Ruka said as she walked towards where Rin stood. "This nonsense has to end!"
"I don't need lecturing by a Top!"
"Shinji you've gone too far this time!" Ruka yelled. "This has to too stop! We stood together four years ago in trying to help Commons…. we didn't agree on your Tops stance but you still did your best for the Commons…. over that time your anger has ruined you!"
"I still am doing my best for Commons! Rising up and taking this land for ourselves!"
"While brining martial law?! Back then you had sense!" Ruka said. "You agreed with Martha's ideals of talking…. and that death of Divine has enraged you! You've lost your way!"
"Divine was a monster…. him being dead is a benefit!"
"I understand your view point, Shinji… and yes in a way you're right. But you never meant to kill him and nor would you kill again…. but you still wish to do big harm to the world! There is good inside of you… you're just doing it the wrong way!"
"You know I'm sick of people telling me what to do…. you'll have to stop me!"
Turn 4
Rin LP: 2100 Hand: 2
Shinji LP: 1250 Hand: 1
"Draw! I attack withHalberd the Charge! Wipe out Glitter!" Halbeard slammed its axe across the Windwitch, wiping out Rin's Monster.
Rin LP: 2100 – 1600
"I now will end this by sending Battlewasp – Dart the Hunter from my hand to the grave! When a Battlewasp destroys a Monster you control this inflicts damage to you equal to Glitter's attack!"
"No!" Yugo yelled.
"Rin?" Ruka questioned.
"Of course I won't let that happen! Go the Trap Windwitch Resurrection Gift! When a Windwitch is destroyed, by banishing two Windwitches from my graveyard, I can return that Monster to my field and gain halve of its attack as lifepoints!"
Windwitch – Glitter Bell ATK: 2000 DEF: 1600 Wind/Spellcaster/Synchro/LVL 6
Rin glowed as she gained 1000 lifepoints.
Rin LP: 1600 – 2600
"Regardless take 2000 damage!" Rin fell to the ground as her lifepoints chanced once more.
Rin LP: 2600 – 600
"I end my turn! You're stubborn I give you that. I set one card!"
Turn 5
Rin LP: 600 Hand: 2
Shinji LP: 1250 Hand: 0
"Maybe Shinji, but being stubborn means I'm still in this duel! Draw! I summon Windwitch – Snow Bell!" A sliver like bell with yellow stripes and white wings came onto the field.
Windwitch – Snow Bell ATK: 100 DEF: 100 Wind/Spellcaster/Tuner/LVL 1
"Go Glitter and Snow Bell! Synchro Summon!"
6+1=7
"Emerge Callistis the Synchro Brilliant Witch!"A woman in crystal amour appeared. Her white hair was so long that it flowed right to her ankles, it looked like a robe. She also had two pointy wings why came from her hip. She held a yellow sword with red handles.
Callistis the Synchro Brilliant Witch [2500 ATK / 2000 DEF / Wind / Level 7 / Spellcaster / Synchro]
"Summon whatever you want, Rin. It won't stop our feelings!"Shinji said.
"And I'm not trying to stop that, Shinji! What has happened to US is cruel but as I've been saying this isn't the right way! People deserve justice and yes we have we have to raise that point but if we shed blood what does that show?"
Across Commons and Tops screens appeared with Rin talking her message to the both sides.
"What are you doing?!" Shinji demanded to know.
"I'm telling people that the time for Commons to stop suffering is here. People are intent in keeping us separate when we're no different! Yes people will be scared to have this change but this is not a way of life!" Rin said. "Commons and Tops can combine to make a much better world!"
"Never!" yelled the Commons watching. "We will never join up with their high egos!"
"Yes and they won't want us dirty thrash!" Shinji added.
"I never said it was easy…. but none of those tags are correct! People have been playing along with the higher-ups discrimination… people who want to keep us separated! This has been the same for years and years…. and it's time to give a new world a go!" Rin said.
"Yes! The amount of people in Commons who could become great doctors… great mechanics… anything and everything!" Ruka added. "Up in the Tops there are people who could use that knowledge! And vice-versa!"
"It's not easy but it can change! People will think "why…. why change what isn't broken…." Well it is broken. Commons dying… physic duelists being discriminated against… Tops could have more economic growth from people going to Tops… bringing new jobs and services!"
"They've ruined our lives and must perish!" Shinji hit back.
"Well I will show you why I believe in what I'm saying by doing this! I will use a Commons card to release the power of the card I gained in Tops! I play the Spell Broken Toys!"
"That's not yours?!" Shinji said in surprise.
"No… It's Yugo's!"
Flashback – Earlier – Highway
"Why Yugo?" Rin asked. Yugo and Rin were about to depart to duel Shinji.
"Because we want to prove Tops and Commons can unite? Then use your card you gained during our time in the Tops while using this Commons card!" Yugo replied, handing a Spell to Rin.
"And because Ringo got destroyed…"
"It's important we have something we can share!" Yugo said. He smiled back.
Flashback End
"Broken Toys allows me to target one negate the effect of Callistis and make her attack and defence zero!"
Callistis ATK: 0 DEF: 0
"But in return I roll a dice! I choose a number and if it lands on it, Callistis gains her effect back and her attack points will double! If not I take her attack as damage!"
"Why even do such a thing?!"
"Because it will win me this duel! I choose the number…. two!"
A red dice formed and spun in the air as Rin and the others all watched.
"Come on!" Yugo yelled. The dice rolled and eventually slowed down. As it did, two dots appeared up right as it stopped.
"Yes!" Rin yelled.
"Lucky…" Shinji scoffed.
"Yes, Rin!" Yugo cheered along with Ruka and the others.
Callistis ATK: 5000
"Now Callistis, attack!"
"I use my Trap! Synchro Ejection! I banish your Synchro!" Shinji said.
"I send Windwitch Skater Bell from my hand to the graveyard! I target a Wind Synchro Monster and its unaffected by Spells or Traps this turn and you take 300 damage!"
Shinji LP: 1250 – 950
"No!" Callistis flew into the air and raised her sword. As she did, snow begun to fall from the dark sky. As Shinji looked up, Callistis charged forward and slammed onto the Battlewasap, making it explode and sending Shinji into the snow.
Shinji LP: 950 – 0 Rin Wins
"Rin!" Yugo said as he went up to her and celebrated along with Ruka.
As the snow faded Shinji looked up to Rin and then behind the Commons behind him.
"That partnership…. I see you turned what you said into reality." Shinji said to Rin who came over and extended her hand.
Security
Roget watched on from the helicopter CCTV footage as he also saw Yuzu and the others heading to Aki.
"So Aki is trying to duel Yuzu right now? Works for me…. now I have her father to enrage her more!"
