"I have no idea what you're talking about." Roget said. "How did you get in here?!"
"Well unlike the rest of your staff… I didn't fall to Arcadia's plan. We llI assume that's who was behind it… regardless, I sneaked in and waited."
"How didn't you succumb to it?"
"I didn't know at first but I presume it was this!" Mina showed the card which contained the energy she stored in it.
"Is that…?!"
"Yes, the dragon and angel energy from the tournament." Mina smugly replied. "I got my part of our deal…. I guess you got City under you control as you wanted…"
"Ha… when we did our deal we both knew we would backstab each other…. I actually thought I would be the one to do it…. you did quite well hiding yourself from martial law after you got free from my bomb!" Roget said.
"You knew that when I came here… back when we did our deal, every minute you were waiting for me to make my move." Mina replied. "You knew what motivated me! You fear me!"
"I don't fear you at all…. I had everyone locked in this dimension. I always held the cards!"
"You like control, just like Leo. That's why you ran from Academia… but unlike Leo, you only want one dimension!"
"Not at all! I'm a realist! Leo's ambition will be his downfall. If you do kill me… that only makes Leo's plans easier."
"Maybe… but it's worth it, now about my mother!"
"Like I said… I have no memory of such a woman….." Roget smugly said. "You collected all that angel and dragon energy to bring her back…. Leo is doing the same thing and I presume he needs something much bigger in design to use their full powers… what can you do with a small card?!"
"I don't know! That's the fun part!" Mina noticed Roget was looking at his monitors every few seconds. "You're guards aren't coming."
"They will be!"
"My mind-controlled guards have dealt with the remaining guards… unless you wish to move some of the other guards who are patrolling the streets, trying to stop a rebellion?"
"Very well… I shall dispatch you myself."
"Let's duel!" both yelled.
Turn 1
Roget LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Mina LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I use Ancient Gear Fusion to fuse two Ancient Gears in my hand! I fuse Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound from my hand and when I use Ultimate while using Ancient Gear Fusion, I can fuse with Monsters in my deck! I fuse Ancient Gear Clock!"
"Clock?"
"Appear Ancient Gear Howitzer in defence!" A black machine with red armoured arms emerged. It had multiple guns connected to its arms.
Ancient Gear Howitzer ATK: 1000 DEF: 1800 Earth/Machine/Fusion/LVL 8
"Howitzer allows me to inflict 1000 damage to you!" The canons on its back fired at Mina who shielded herself from the rapid blasts.
Mina LP: 4000 – 3000
"When I use Ancient Gear Clock to Fusion Summon, it can appear on my field by reducing the Fusion Monster's level by three!"
Howitzer LVL: 5
A small broken clock with red eyes emerged. It had long wiry arms and legs.
Ancient Gear Clock ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Earth/Machine/Tuner/LVL 3
"So an Ancient Gear Tuner…. that's impressive, you've made your own cards. But you're still using Fusion Summoning and Ancient Gears…. I thought you cut ties with Academia. "
"I admit I'm not an impressive duelist…. my skills lie more with people…"
"Which is what made you the ideal candidate to come to Synchro. You bring Real Solid Vision and impress the council to worm your way up to the role of Director of Security.
"So you can see I'm not a soldier.. but it's enough to beat you!" Roget replied. "I tune Howitzer with Clock! Synchro Summon!"
5+3=8
"Appear Ancient Gear Gunpowder Golem!" An Ancient Gear Golem appeared but this one had an old medical canon on its back.
Ancient Gear Gunpowder Golem ATK: 2800 DEF: 1900 Earth/Machine/Synchro/LVL 8
"I set one card and end my turn."
Turn 2
Roget LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Mina LP: 3000 Hand: 5
"Draw! I play Terraforming! I can add a Field Spell from my deck! I add and play Magical Meltdown!"A red circle spun around the two. "First when activated I can add Aleister the Invoker to my hand. Now I summon him!" A white roped magician appeared with a long staff. Aleister the Invoker ATK: 1000 DEF: 1800 Dark/Spellcaster/LVL 4
"I use Aleister's effect! When summoned, I can add the Spell Invocation to my hand from my deck. I can banish Monsters from our fields or graves to Fusion Summon! I banish Aleister and your Earth Monster, Ancient Gear Clock! Fusion Summon! Appear Invoked Magellanica!"
A rocky golem appeared from the ground. It had one eye.
Invoked Magellanica ATK: 3000 DEF: 3300 Earth/Rock/Fusion/LVL 8
"Now attack!"
"Then I use my Trap! Call of the Haunted brings back Howitzer in attack position!"
Ancient Gear Howitzer ATK: 1000 DEF: 1800 Earth/Machine/Fusion/LVL 8
"It doesn't matter! I will attack Howitzer instead!"
"You can't do that! When I control another Ancient Gear, Gunpowder negates the attack!"
"Ha! You worked out a simple combo then!" Magellanica's attack faded out.
"Not just that, Mina, I can inflict 1000 damage to you thanks to Gunpowder other effect!" Gunpowder fired its medieval canon from and the barrage struck around Mina. As it did, it created a dust cloud causing Mina to grit her teeth.
Mina LP: 3000 – 2000
"You're better than I gave you credit for…" Mina said, winded from the hit. "Since Invocation is in my graveyard, I can shuffle it back to my deck and then add Aleister back to my hand. I set one card and end my turn.
Turn 3
Roget LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Mina LP: 2000 Hand: 4
"I draw! I switch Howitzer to defence and next, I play the Equip Spell,Ancient Gear Magic Shield! This increases Howtizer's defence by 1200… and it can't be destroyed by battle!"
"So you're increasing your defense… and using your effect damage effects to beat me…. coward!" A black shielded that emitted a red barrier around it appeared.
Howtizer DEF: 3000
"Not at all." Roget smugly replied. "These tactics are perfect, and in a war, if you win…. it doesn't matter how! Now Howitzer's effect!"
Howitzer's canon locked onto Mina and fired rapid bursts. Mina was sent flying down the hallway thanks to the strong blast.
Mina LP: 2000 – 1000
"I end my turn!" Roget said.
"Damn you…" Mina struggled to get up but as she did, she smirked. "Well if you're going to end me… surely you should tell me the truth!"
"Well… I guess for once you're correct!" Roget replied.
Intrusion Penalty – 2000 LP
"What was that?!" Both the duelists looked from behind and saw Rin approach with her duel disk. She was out of breath from the running and shock she took from her duel disk.
"You?" Mina added.
"I thought I'd join the party." Rin said. "My group all collapsed so I was a bit delayed but now that Arcadia has ended, I can end the second pillar of this broken world!"
"I promise you, I'm not losing a single grip of power! In fact, my power is only increasing!" Roget replied.
"Academia is still here, your officers are poor duelists… how do you except to do that?"
"Arcadia sent a lot home but you're right, they are an issue. And once I remove Mina from this earth, they will be next!"
"Academia took Yugo… you're going to help me get him back!" Rin replied fiercely, gripping her hand.
"That can't happen!" Mina added. "Since Roget will be dead tonight!"
"Don't even get me started on you, Mina!" Rin added. "Pretending to be our friend… just to take our energy?"
"I have an interest in the highly-powered! Now stay out of my way! My business isn't with you… yet."
"Then this is a three-way duel!" Rin hit back.
Turn 4
Roget LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Mina LP: 2000 Hand: 4
Rin LP: 2000 Hand: 5
"I draw!" Rin yelled.
"This girl uses an effect damage deck…. I don't want to admit it but I'm in a bad place." Mina thought. "…. His Monster's are creating a loop."
"Excuse me?" Rin said.
"Just accept the advice! His Ancient Gear's inflict 1000 damage to an opponent during a turn. His Monster's are shielded both from attack and his Equip Spell makes Howtizer even stronger."
"I would like to think you're trying to help me but I know you're just desperate… but thanks anyway! I summon Windwitch- 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
"She hits you with 500 damage, Roget!" Glacier flew over Roget's hit and sprinkled ice over him which he shielded himself from.
Roget LP: 4000 – 3500
"Then I use Gunpowder Golem's effect! I hit you with 1000 damage!"Roget pointed at Rin as Gunpowder fired at Rin.
Rin LP: 2000 – 1000
"When I take damage I can summon Windwitch – Shine Bell!" A young blonde witch in a white witch outfit appeared on a shinning broom.
Windwitch – Shine Bell ATK: 400 DEF: 200 Wind/Spellcaster/LVL 2
"When summoned like this Shine increases my lifepoints by halve of what you inflicted!"
Rin LP: 1000 – 1500
"I Synchro Summon!"
3+2=5
"Appear Windwitch – Glow Bell!" A young witch appeared in green witch-like clothes. Her wand glowed with a bright sparkle.
Windwitch – Glow Bell ATK: 1200 DEF: 600 Wind/Spellcaster/LVL 5/Synchro/Tuner
"Once per turn I can remove a Spell or Trap from the field! Be gone Call of the Haunted!"
Glow Bell fired an energy ball from her wand, wiping out the Trap.
"And when Call of the Haunted is destroyed, the Monster it brought back is also destroyed! Goodbye Howitzer!"
"Foolish girl! Ancient Gear Howitzer is immune to card effects, meaning Call of the Haunted won't remove it!" "What?!" Rin replied. "Regardless when Glow destroys a card, you take 300 damage!" Roget LP: 3500 – 3200 "I set two cards and end my turn." Rin replied. "Is that it?" Mina said. "You watch your back and I'll watch mine." Rin replied. "Losing your boyfriend and your inner angel has hit you hard….!" Mina smugly said. "Don't… just don't!"
"Rin… please… don't lose yourself." Callistis said who appeared.
"I…. I know….." Rin said gritting her teeth and clenching her fist. "I can control the anger... I will use it to bring them back!"
Turn 5
Roget LP: 3200 Hand: 2
Mina LP: 2000 Hand: 4
Rin LP: 1500 Hand: 2
"My move! I draw!" Mina said.
Lancers
Yuzu and the others watched a live feed of Roget V Mina and Rin. Mina had made the screens appear so she could shame Roget.
"We should go and help them." Ruri said.
"No, we need to clear out Academia." Yuzu replied. "There must still be some around here… those who didn't teleport away."
"Marina said she was coming for you." Ray added. "You'll probably have to duel her."
"She can find me…. anyway, let's keep looking. There are screens all around City; we can keep up with Rin as we check."
Marina/Dennis
"I'm glad you're okay, Edo." Marina said.
"Yes… it seems being down in the sewer saved you from whatever happened." Edo replied on Marina's duel disk.
"And the soldiers?"
"Some are tired and have been sent back to Academia. Me and Gloria are also going to head to Security HQ. We will see you there?"
"I have a mission to complete, don't worry. And I know Yuzu will be there.. she will be."
Mina
"Since you need reminding, Roget… let me tell you how you killed my mother, Makoto… during the Fusion War!" Mina said.
Flashback - Fusion War
"What will this do?"
A young Mina in torn clothing looked at her father; a younger looking Doctor had built an electrical device which was a hexagon shape with electrical wiring around it.
"This will end the war!" Doctor said. "This civil war will end and we can finally live a life without the fear of bombs over our heads!"
Inside the tent stepped Makato, Mina's mother. She had long blonde hair, similar to Mina.
"Me and your father have spent days doing this." Makato said. She had brought in clothes she had dried off using an outdoor fire. "This bomb will wipe out the other side."
"So.. killing them all?" Mina questioned.
"It's a war which won't end… we have to." Makato replied.
The three heard footsteps and Roget appeared. He wore a camouflage vest and green pants with boots.
"Jean, what brings you here?" Doctor said.
"Jean!" Mina said with excitement.
"Hello, kiddo!" he replied. "I brought you a candy bar!"
"Ah! Thank you, Jean!" Mina took it. "Can I have it now, Mom?"
"Of course you can, just don't eat it all at once." Makato said, rubbing her head.
Mina went to her room within the tent leaving the adults.
"Jean, is everything okay?" Makato replied.
"Not at all." Jean replied. "Our injured are outnumbering are active troops…"
"It won't be long before we can end this war, none of that shall be an issue soon." Makato said.
"Then we will really be plunged into the dark." Roget replied. "We will need to create a new order of law."
"Let's worry about that after the war ends." Doctor added.
"Not at all. This is why I'm the brains behind operations… and so are you two. Without our minds, this world would've collapsed. We outrank those on the front." Roget crudely said.
"Once again… we have to disagree on that." Makato replied.
"Anyway, how long before it's ready?"
"Tonight, we will move tonight." Doctor said.
Flashback End
"Yes I recall all that." Roget replied. "What of it?"
"Well I was there… I saw you kill my mother!"
Flashback
"Mom…?" Mina was outside, wandering around the tents trying to find her. The sounds of bullets were heard in the far distance.
"Mina! Get back into the tent!" Doctor said. He appeared from their tent.
"Where's Mom?!"
"She and Roget are placing the bomb in a safe area! Once they return, we will detonate it! Now come on, get inside."
"Okay…" Mina and her father walked back into the tent.
As they got back into the tent, Mina quickly ran back out, out running her father.
"Mina! You fool!" Doctor yelled. As he tried to follow, Mina had already disappeared.
….
"Place it here." Roget pointed it at the ground. Makato was holding the weapon and she placed it down.
"Okay, done."
"Now… this war will end and our new world will begin! We shall lead!" Roget said proudly.
"I have no intention of following your goals, Jean… you know this. You want a dictatorship!"
"Control! The world will be broken; our great minds will rebuild!" Roget snapped back.
"I don't want that and you know it!"
"I have led our forces to this point! Show me respect! Do you want Mina to grow up in this world?!"
"I don't want her to grow up in your world either!" Makato replied. She grabbed the bomb and was about to rip a wire out.
"Don't you dare!"
….
"Mom? Where are you?" Mina yelled as she kept wondering. She stopped as she saw something.
Mina saw the two in the middle of the wasteland. Mina hid behind a tree; she didn't want to cause more trouble by interrupting.
"Foolish woman!" Roget yelled. "I won't allow you to end this!"
Mina watched as her mother screamed with sheer agony. Mina could see everything, her face froze with horror.
Roget placed the weapon back onto the ground and hit the detonation, Roget ran off without seeing Mina, leaving the body.
"Mom!" Mina ran over to her mother.
"Mina…. run… the bomb is about to… go… off…"
"I can't leave you here!"
"You have… to… just look after your father…. please… now… run…"
Flashback End
"After I got away…. the bomb went off, ending the war." Mina said. "My father looked and looked for my mother and couldn't find her. You told him she died in the explosion… and you convinced him not to listen to a little girl who was trying to tell him the truth."
"Mina…." Rin slowly said.
"Fine, you're right!" Roget yelled with glee. "You saw me!"
"You're proud?!" Mina said.
"I have turned City into the world I wanted!"
"Only thanks to Leo Akaba! When the war ended, you disappeared…. my father turned crazier without my mother to help him… where did you go?!"
"The world was in ruins as I predicted… it was far better to leave and watch it turn into chaos… it was unsalvageable."
"And when Leo arrived… you returned from your leave and saw Academia as a chance to gain power. You saw how popular Leo was and knew you couldn't displace him… so you got the next best thing, Synchro."
"You got it." Roget smirked after he spoke.
"You sounded like a… different person back then?" Rin said.
"Well obviously! I had to grow up in a destroyed world…. my father going crazy…. of course I changed! Like Roget, I couldn't stand to see Leo rule…. I have my own agenda! Now back to this duel! Appear Aleister the Invoker!"
Aleister the Invoker ATK: 1000 DEF: 1800 Dark/Spellcaster/LVL 4
"I use Gunpowder's effect on you, Mina!"
Mina LP: 2000 - 1000
"Argh…. Still Invocation is added to my hand and I play it! I fuse Rin's Glacier Bell and Aleister! Appear Invoked Raidjin!" A purple knight with a golden sword was summoned.
Invoked Raidjin ATK: 2200 DEF: 2400 Wind/Warrior/Fusion/LVL 5
"Raidjin's effect! I can flip Gunpowder face down!"
"What?!" Roget said as his Monster disappeared.
"Now Invoked, destroy it!"
Raidjin slammed its sword down onto the set card, destroying Roget's Synchro Monster. Mina then looked at his Fusion then to Rin's Monster.
"Invoked Magellanica, go!" Magellanica launched its fiery fist at the Rin's Monster, creating a blast of flames which sped towards her. "This isn't your duel!"
"It is, Mina! I play my Trap Lost Wind! This halves Magellanica's attack by halve!"
Magellancia ATK: 1500
The flaming beast wiped out Rin's Synchro but the Trap saved her from losing.
Rin LP: 1500 – 1200
"I'm not done yet! I play my Trap!" Mina replied. "Omega Fusion! I Fusion Summon with my two Monster's on my field! Go Raidjin and Magellancia!"
"Another one?!" Roget said in shock.
"Appear Invoked Elysium!"
Above a huge blue sky emerged. It had a long golden frame shaped like stairs reach higher into the sky.
Invoked Elysium ATK: 3200 DEF: 4000 Light/Fairy/Fusion/LVL 10
"That's quite a Monster…" Rin said slowly.
"Now, Roget…. DIE!"
"But my Equip Spell stops Howitzer from being destroyed and it's in defence!"
"I know so that's why I'm going direct! I want you to feel the pain I've felt for all these years! Omega Fusion allows that Fusion Monster to attack directly on the turn it's Fusion Summoned! Elysium, kill Roget!"
"Mina, don't! You'll regret this!" Rin yelled.
"I don't care!"
"The attack has been declared… she can't stop it now." Roget replied. Elysium charged a golden glow from its clouds and aimed right at Roget. The Monster fired the shot at the Director.
"This is for you, Mom." Mina thought.
"Poetic justice…. well it would be if you could beat me… but you can't!" Roget hit back with a big smirk.
"You can't dodge it!" Mina replied.
"Watch me! I use my Trap Ancient Gear Rebuild! To use this card I need to tribute an Ancient Gear Spell or Trap, I choose Ancient Gear Shield!" The barrier surrounding the Ancient Gear was removed. "Now I can tribute Howtizer and summon three Ancient Gear Tokens!"
Three smaller Ancient Gear Monsters appeared on the field.
Ancient Gear Tokens ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Earth/Machine/LV
"Then you can't attack me this turn while I control a Token!"
"No!" Mina yelled as Elysium's attack faded out.
"You can't beat me, Mina!" Roget replied.
"Damn you….." Mina fell to the floor and punched it. "My Monster… is banished when I use Omega Fusion to summon it…."
Mina's Monster disappeared, leaving her field empty.
Turn 6
Roget LP: 3200 Hand: 2
Mina LP: 2000 Hand: 4
Rin LP: 1200 Hand: 2
"I draw! Now I will finish you instead! I use Polymerization to fuse my three Tokens! Appear from the depths of hell, Ancient Gear Megaton Golem!"
"That thing again?!" Rin yelled out.
Four rusty metals slammed down onto the ground. The giant Ancient Gear with four arms looked down at Mina with its deadly red eye.
Ancient Gear Megaton Golem ATK: 3300 DEF: 3300 Earth/Machine/Fusion/LVL 9
"And because it's an Ancient Gear, you can't activate any Spells or Traps until the part you would take damage…. meaning it's over for you, Mina!" Roget roared. "Megaton… end this!"
"There has to be something I can do?!" Rin said.
"Not a thing!" Megaton slammed its fist down at Mina. The speed it came down at meant Mina had no chance to move in time. Mina just closed her eyes.
The fist slammed down and Rin could only cover her eyes as Roget couldn't stop laughing. As Megaton lifted its fist up, Mina was nowhere to be seen.
"Impossible!"
Mina was in the hands of Callistis; the speedy duel spirit had zipped in at the last second and saved her. The girl was however knocked out and the spirit placed her on the side.
Mina LP: 2000 – 0
"How did she do that?!" Roget said.
"Thank you, Callistis." Rin replied. "She was saved thanks to a duel spirit!"
"Those things….. regardless this duel is down to two people. And I will dispatch of you easily! I end my turn!"
Turn 7
Roget LP: 3200 Hand: 2
Rin LP: 1200 Hand: 2
"We shall see! Draw!"
City
Across the city, Tops and Commons watched the duel. Due to martial law, many were now in their homes.
Security was watching their boss with glee as they got closer to ruling the city within the main stadium which still had the Commons locked in to prevent more unrest.
Yuzu and the others had found the last of Academia's students and were finishing them off.
"Mozarta!"
"Samurai!"
"Uriel!"
"GO!" The three bracelet girls ordered as their Monsters finished off the last three Academia soldiers.
The duelists landed on their backs and teleported away from Synchro.
"We did it!" Ray yelled.
"We really have grown stronger." Ruri said.
"Yes, Academia will need to send someone stronger than their mooks next time!" Yuzu said.
"Don't jinx it!" Yuya said with a laugh.
"Now we need to get to Rin." Yuzu said.
Martha's
"Rin…. please….. you can unite this city." Martha thought as they watched the screens.
Martha and the kids had all been affected by Arcadia's energy machine and were recovering however they're attention was all on Rin.
"Come on Rin!" yelled a little girl.
"You can do it!" shouted a boy.
Outside Security HQ
Outside of Security, Ushio, Tony, Damon and the others all were locked in a stand-off with Security with all their Monsters out.
"Come on then, Rin… let's see if what you said can happen." Ushio thought.
Rin
"I use my Trap Descending Lost Star to return Glow Bell with its effect negated, level reduced by one, and with zero attack in defence!"
Windwitch – Glow Bell ATK: 1200 DEF: 0 Wind/Spellcaster/LVL 4/Synchro/Tuner
"I summon summon Windwitch - Ice Bell!" She had purple hair and wore a white outfit with a wand.
Windwitch - Ice Bell ATK: 1000 DEF: 1000 Wind/Spellcaster/LVL 3
"When she is summoned you take 500 damage!" She waved her wand and a blast of icy wind hit Roget.
Roget LP: 3200 – 2700
"Now I tune Glow Bell with Ice Bell!"
4+3=7
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]
"Let's do this, Rin." Callistis said.
"Yes! I summon Windwitch – Snow Bell since I control two Wind Monsters!" 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
"You're going to summon your Accel Synchro?" Roget asked.
"No… I've lost that ability since our D-Wheel got destroyed." Rin replied. "Me and Yugo built that from scratch… You know a similar feeling it seems."
"From the Fusion War? I guess you're right." Roget said.
"But you still allowed us to suffer…!" Rin snapped back. "But you still maintained the status quo…. you had the chance to be different but you didn't, despite knowing our background!"
"Why would I care if others feel the same? It's not me in trouble!"
"And that's the problem with this world! No-one cares about the other! I tune Snow with Callistis!"
A green light flashed into the hallway as Rin pointed forward
"Appear Callistis the Supreme Witch!"
7+1=8
From within the light a taller Callistis appeared. Her white amour was made of ice which glowed and sparkled. She had the same wings but longer and had two blades of ice on her arms.
Callistis the Supreme Witch ATK: 3000 DEF: 2200 Wind/Spellcaster/Synchro/LVL 8
"People of City!" Rin yelled. "I know you can hear me."
Across City, Tops and Commons heard her words and listened to it.
"I know we're divided and have been that way for a very long time… but right now… the words you heard from Roget are true. This city has been invaded by an evil school from another world; some of you have already seen them... my friends are dealing with them. Arcadia, this very night unleashed a machine to absorb your life energy…. my other friends dealt with them. Roget wishes to become a dictator… I'm trying my best to stop that…"
"Don't be stupid! There are always people who are at the bottom! They are needed to maintain balance! Fools must be sacrificed for the greater good!" Roget hit back.
"My point isn't about changing people's beliefs… this city has become this…. and I don't think it will ever fully change. But right now there are threats…. and we can't deal with that while fighting!"
Callistis raised her hands into the sky and the camera feeds changed to show various Academia attacks from across the City and other dimensions.
City
In a city square in the Tops, a group watched.
"What is this?!" said a Tops female in a red dress.
"This has to be fake?!" said another.
"We all just collapsed and woke up… if Arcadia did that… how can this not be!" another man said.
"But unite with those Commons?! We can't!"
"They're better fighters then us!"
"Aren't you listening? Roget will turn this world into a dictatorship! How much longer until we become Commons!" added another female.
"Yes! The most rich will become higher than us!"
"I never thought of that…."
Security HQ
"What's that?" Tony said. The group looked behind and saw Tops marching towards the building.
"Tops?" Ushio said.
The large crowd stopped as the others waited to what they had to say.
"What can we do to help?" A man said to Damon.
"Uh…. we need to access the building… but these guards are blocking our way and there's no way we can take them all on." Tony added.
"Then let us help!"
"What can you all do?!" a Security officer yelled.
"This! Let's go!" The Tops crowd all rushed forward, they outnumbered the officers greatly.
The rushing crowd quickly grabbed the officers and forced them down to the ground. The rest were able to open the Security HQ door.
"What do we do?!" said an officer inside.
"I don't know about you… but I'm off!" another replied. He fled the HQ out another door and the rest all paused and saw the angry crowd looking at them.
"Good idea!" the rest all followed and ran off.
"Now go to your friend!" Tops said.
"Uh… thanks… I guess…" Damon said surprised.
Duel
"Cowards!" Roget yelled. "Then I go to my final move!"
Roget snapped his fingers and more screens appeared. It was the council, they were held at gun point.
"What are you doing now?!" Rin said.
"I needed the council but since this is a full blown revolution, they can play another part!"
Aki
"Dad!" yelled Aki.
"No…" Setsuko could barely watch.
"My group will save them." Shinji said. "They have to!"
Duel
"You're the coward!" Rin said.
"Surrender… or they die!"
"You can't win this!" Rin said. "You will be overcome by the riots!"
"I'm always a step ahead! My remaining officers, those who are loyal… shoot to kill on my order!" Roget ordered to his guards.
"No!" Rin yelled.
"People will fall in line!" Roget yelled with glee.
"No they won't….!"
They looked around and saw a weak Mina get up.
"You're still here then…" Roget said.
"You removed my mind control chips from your officers but I was able to keep the ones who came with me when I escaped… they're inside this building!"
"What are you doing?!" Roget said.
"This!" Mina hit her duel disk and a large explosion was heard.
"What was that?!" Rin said.
"My officers blowing up the mind control relay… yeah I've lost control of them but… Roget had put newer chips into the remaining officers…. he's lost his ones!"
Across the city, the officers all collapsed and dropped their guns as well as the officers guarding the council.
"No!" Roget yelled.
"Time to end this! When Callistis' new form attacks a Monster summoned from the extra deck, she gains that Monster's attack! Now go!"
Callistis the Supreme Witch glowed in a brighter light as her blades increased in size as it leapt towards Roget's Fusion.
Callistis ATK: 6300
Callistis cut through the machine, creating a huge blast.
"Noooooooo!" Roget yelled as he was sent flying.
Roget LP: 2700 – 0 Rin Wins
Rin rushed to Mina who looked up to her.
"You're safe now." Rin said.
"Get out the way!" Mina stood up and pushed Rin to the ground.
"Mina, no!" Mina walked towards Roget who looked up.
"We can… make a deal…" Roget stuttered to say.
"The only deal is with you in the dirt!" Mina took a fire extinguisher from the side and held it up.
"No!" Rin had rushed over and grabbed her arms.
"LET ME GO!" Mina yelled who was able to throw Rin off.
As Mina slammed it down, Mina stopped as she saw four people walk in. Marina was with Grace, Dennis and Edo.
"You!" Mina yelled.
"Hi Mina." Marina said. "Now don't even think about throwing that at us…."
A card flew into the fire extinguisher, making it fall from Mina's hands.
"My card throwing skills are almost as good as my dueling!" Dennis bragged.
"Now, Roget…."
Roget looked up and his eyes opened with fear at Marina.
"You should've killed me when you had the chance." Marina said. "You're a coward and never will be a solider!"
"I can… give you anything you want!"
"Yes you can!" Marina held up her duel disk and it created a large purple light.
As the light faded, Mina rubbed her eyes.
"NO!"
Before her Roget had been teleported away by Marina.
"Sorry… you were too late!" Marina said.
"You sent him back?!"
"Leo will want a few words…. and then he will feed our utopia… as will you!" Marina yelled.
"You took some of my energy to make new cards… didn't you?" Mina said.
"Yeah I did! Now give over the rest!"
"No…. not ever…. you dare take Roget…. you dare!" Mina said. "And you!" she looked towards Rin. "I would've got him had you not slowed me down!"
"I'm not sorry." Rin said, now hurt after being thrown down again.
"I will end you all." Mina said. "ALL OF YOU!"
Mina hit her duel disk and disappeared.
"Damnit." Marina said.
"Rin!"
Yuzu and the others had reached Rin finally.
"You did it!" Ruri said as they helped her up.
"Yeah…." Rin said.
"We heard everything." Yuzu said. "Now you rest up…. me and Marina have to settle this."
"Yes. Credit to the Synchro girl for taking down that snake…. but this is our battle ground now!" Marina said.
"Yuzu, we can teleport away! We don't need to duel her!" Yuya said.
"I do…. I need to as this is my reasonability… for everyone I care for!"
Yuzu and Yuya then held hands together.
"Duels can make people understand each other. I will… no… we will all make you understand!"
"You might try." Marina said. "But I know my path…. and I will follow it!"
