"Mr. Kamishrio I presume." Reiji said.

"I see someone told you about me then." Shark replied. "Was it the Resistance?"

"No actually it was Yuzu and the others… We're looking for the Resistance."

"Why would you tell me that?"

"Because I assume you want to find them as well? Reiji smugly said.

"How do you know they're not dead?!"

"You're here…. so I assume they're not!"

"Stop being smart with me! I'll happily take you down!" Shark activated his Academia duel disk.

"He's mine!"

"Now what?" Masumi said as she looked around.

Emerging from the rubble of Heartland Tower was the pink haired Luna in her Resistance cloak.

"Who are you?" Reiji asked.

"I'm Resistance; I opted to stay here while the others went on a mission."

"Luna? Why would you stay here?!" Shark fiercely replied.

"Once Dennis brought the tower down I assumed they'd send someone here to finish things up if we survived, I took a guess it would be you and clearly I was proved right."

"Where are the others?!"

"I won't tell. You're not on our side, Shark…. but I'm bringing you back home!" Luna activated her duel disk.

"How do you two know each other?" Masumi asked.

"We…. were a couple." Luna spoke with a painful pause. Using the word "were" hurt.

"And Shark was brainwashed by Academia… Grace told us that part…. I know the feeling."

"It's fine; we also met Ray who had the same thing happen to her. Academia steal people… turn them against their loved ones…. no more!"

"We've had this conversation before so…. let's get straight down to it!" Shark roared back.

Turn 1

Luna LP: 4000 Hand: 5

Shark LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"I summon Satellarknight Vega!" A female in a purple dress with a golden frame around her appeared.

Satellarknight Vega ATK: 1200 DEF: 1600 Light/Warrior/LVL 4

"Her effect allows me to bring outSatellarknight Alsahm!" A young male in golden amour emerged holding a bow and arrow.

Satellarknight Alsahm ATK: 1400 DEF: 1800 Light/Warrior/LVL 4

"When Alsahm is summoned, you take 1000 damage!" Alsahm fired his arrow and hit Shark's duel disk.

Shark LP: 4000 – 3000

"Instant damage, awesome!" Masumi cheered.

"I overlay my level fours!" Both fired into the yellow whirlpool which formed. "Appear rank four, Starliege Paladynamo!" A sliver knight which held a glowing sword emerged.

Starliege Paladynamo ATK: 2000 DEF: 1000 Light/Warrior/Rank 4/OU 2

"I set one card and end my turn!"

Turn 2

Luna LP: 4000 Hand: 2

Shark LP: 3000 Hand: 5

"I'm up! Draw! If I control no Monsters I can Normal Summon this without a tribute! Depth Shark!" A sliver card with a glowing light similar to an angler fish appeared.

Depth Shark ATK: 1400 DEF: 0 Water/Fish/LVL 5

"I play Copy Shark! This Spell becomes the copy of a Monster on my field!" A second Depth Shark emerged.

Depth Shark (Spell) ATK: 1400 DEF: 0 Water/Fish/LVL 5

"I overlay my two level fives! Appear! Rank five, Silent Honour: Dark Knight!" A beast in red amour emerged. He had black stripes across its bulky body with a sword attached to the back.

Silent Honour: Dark Knight ATK: 2800 DEF: 1500 Water/Aqua/Xyz/Rank 5/OU 2

"I use his effect! I add your Monster as an overlay unit and Dark Knight gains its attack!"

"Won't happen! I use the Quick Play Spell, Xyz Encore! I detach all Xyz Materials from your Monster then return it to your extra deck!"

Dark Knight disappeared from field and the one overlay unit fired onto Shark's duel disk.

"This returns Depth Shark back to your field in defence position and reduces its level!"

Depth Shark ATK: 1400 DEF: 0 Water/Fish/LVL 4

"It doesn't matter, Luna! I use Polymerization to fuse Depth with Shield Shark in my hand!"

Both spun around in the Fusion whirlpool creating a tall figure covered in purple armour with a yellow lance. He had a shark fin on his back.

"Appear Shark Lancer!"

Shark Lancer ATK: 2300 DEF: 2000 Water/Fish/Fusion/LVL 7

"Losing his Xyz then going into a Fusion straight afterwards…." Luna thought.

"Once per turn Lancer equips a Shark Monster in my graveyard to itself and gains halve of its attack! I choose Depth Shark!"

Shark Lancer ATK: 3000

"Attack!" Lancer raised his lancer and shot forward to pierce Starliege Paladynamo in the chest.

Luna LP: 4000 – 3000

"When Paladynamo is destroyed I can draw a card!" Luan replied.

"I end my turn with a face down."

Turn 3

Luna LP: 3000 Hand: 3

Shark LP: 3000 Hand: 1

"My turn!" Luna drew.

"You're not going to try and tap into my memories as Rio did?" Shark mocked.

"No… I know you won't remember me. I prefer to knock you back into it! It's how I survived… with the others!"

"The Resistance has all been but wiped out! Only you four left!"

"Yes… Academia made a massive, massive mistake! Haruto, Anna, Rio… me… we will now fight even harder!"

"Don't… mention them!"

"Why not? They mean nothing to you now? Same as Shun, Ruri and Yuto?"

"Shut up!"

Luna honestly thought Shark was ordering her not to mention them but she could see the struggle now on his face. Rio had opened a crack in his memories before and now Luna knew what she had to do.

"I summon Satellarknight Capella!" A white and golden armour male riding a chariot appeared.

Satellarknight Capella ATK: 1100 DEF: 2000 Light/Warrior/LVL 4

"I'm playing a new card Ray made for me! Satellearknight Shinning! I can summon two Satellarknights. One from my hand and one from the graveyard as long as they have the same level as one on my field with their effects negated!"

"But… they're all level four?!"

"Exactly! So you do remember! Appear Alsahm Rigel!"

Satellarknight Rigel ATK: 1900 DEF: 700 Light/Warrior/LVL 4

Satellarknight Alsahm ATK: 1400 DEF: 1800 Light/Warrior/LVL 4

"I overlay my three level fours! Appear Stellarknight Triverr!" A sliver knight holding a shield in a triangle shape made of purple energy emerged.

Stellarknight Triverr ATK: 2100 DEF: 2500 Light/Warrior/Xyz/Rank 4/OU 3

"When Xyz Summoned all other cards return to the hand!"

"Lancer's effect! I destroy Depth Shark to prevent it being destroyed!"

Lancer ATK: 2300

Shark's face down was destroyed as Triverr slammed his shield down which sent an electrical charge towards it.

"Now I use his overlay unit!"

Treiverr OU: 2

"I send a random card in your hand to the graveyard!" Appearing on Luna's touch screen were the three cards and they shuffled as the duel disk selected one.

"You sent Monster Reborn…. happy?" Shark replied with frustration. "Triverr has always been such an annoying Monster Card when we duel…." Shark quickly realized the words he said and put his hands over his mouth.

"That's it, Ryouga, remember! I use my Equip Spell on Triverr, Stellarknight Alpha! It gains 500 attack and defence while also being unaffected by your card effects!"

Triverr ATK: 2600 DEF: 3000

"Take out Lancer!" Triverr charged forward and sliced his Monster in halve.

Shark LP: 3000 – 2700

"I end my turn!"

Turn 4

Luna LP: 3000 Hand: 0

Shark LP: 2700 Hand: 0

"I won't let you change who I am! I draw!"

"Academia changed you, Ryouga!"

"Just shut up! I play the Spell Pot of Desires to banish ten face up cards from my deck to draw two! I play the Spell Shark Reel! I summon two Shark Monsters with the same level from my graveyard and their effects negated! I choose Depth and Shield Shark!

Depth Shark ATK: 1400 DEF: 0 Water/Fish/LVL 5

Shield Shark ATK: 0 DEF: 2600 Water/Fish/LVL 5

"I overlay! Appear rank five, Shark Fortress!" A large green metal airship emerged which looked like a shark. It had a huge open hanger for a mouth.

Shark Fortress ATK: 2400 DEF: 1800 Dark/Fish/Rank 5/Xyz/OU 2

"Now this will cause a big bang! I play Aqua Jet onto my Fish Monster! It gains 1000 attack!"

Shark Fortress ATK: 3400

"You know what this Monster can do, Luna!"

"I know…. but you still won't beat me this turn! When Triverr is destroyed while it has Xyz Material I can summon a tellarknight from my graveyard!"

"But it will make you shut up! I use an overlay unit to allow it to attack twice this turn!"

Shark Fortress OU: 1

"Shark Fortress, go!" The giant airship loaded up a shark-faced missile and fired it at Triverr.The missile hit the ground and the impact sent Luna flying while Reiji and Masumi could only just hang on.

Luna LP: 3000 – 2200

"Luna!" Masumi ran over and saw Luna on her knees.

"I'm fine…. like I said I bring back a tellarknight… return Satellarknight Alsahm in defense!"

Satellarknight Alsahm ATK: 1400 DEF: 1800 Light/Warrior/LVL 4

"And now he takes 1000 damage!" Reiji added. Shark felt burning as he took the damage.

Shark LP: 2700 – 1700

"Fortress attacks your Monster again!" Another shark missile loaded and fired.

"Move, Luna!" Masumi helped her up and Reiji also ran further back as the missile landed on the Monster, another shockwave occurred but they avoided it this time.

"That Monster was always quite dangerous…." Luna said.

"I end my turn!"

"Ryouga… please!"

"Just… shut up, Luna!"

"I guess because his memories are all mixed up… he's relying on the only thing he can do… dueling." Reiji added.

"Luna!"

Everyone looked and saw Ruri running with a smile on her face with Yuto following. They stopped as they reached the group.

"It's you…. Reiji Akaba…" Yuto stuttered.

"Why are you here?" Ruri replied.

"That's right… I guess the Resistance don't know. Our group arrived later and by the time we united with our Lancers here, you had all split up." Reiji answered.

"It's been a long time…. I'm sorry about turning your assistant into a card…." Ruri replied with her tone and head lowered.

"It's fine, I was wrong back then. I've changed, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have tried to capture you.. any of you."

"I think about him all the time… I will help to reverse it."

"I know, you are all helping us in this war."

"But why are you here?" Masumi said.

"I guess…. they want to help with Shark?" Luna added.

"We'll explain later… now let's join, Ruri!"

"Yeah!" Ruri and Yuto took an electrical shock as they entered the duel.

Intrusion Penalty – 2000 LP

Turn 5

Luna LP: 2200 Hand: 0

Shark LP: 1700 Hand: 0

Yuto LP: 2000 Hand: 5

Ruri LP: 2000 Hand: 5

"I draw!" Yuto yelled. "This feeling I've been having… I can feel Dark Rebellion inside but…. I'm fighting for my friends… I won't fall to darkness again." Yuto thought. "Appear The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm!"A ghostly sliver knight's helmet emerged with metal hands floating beside it.

The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm ATK: 1500 DEF: 500 Dark/Warrior/LVL 4

"I play Foolish Burial to send The Phantom Knights of Fragile Armor to the grave! Now I use Monster Reborn to summon it!" A dark blue piece of amour which had legs and arms appeared. It lacked a head and instead had light blue aura in its place.

The Phantom Knights of Fragile Armor ATK: 1000 DEF: 2000 Dark/Warrior/LVL 4

"I overlay my two level fours…. go!" Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank four! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"

A shadow fired down from the sky and a roar was heard. The black dragon appeared before him. Yuto felt a pain as he normally did when Dark Rebellion was with him but due to Yuto's mission to save Shark, he had the drive to fully resist it.

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Dragon/Dark/Xyz/Rank 4/OU 2

"Now Dark Rebellion…. I use his effect! I use his two overlay units to halve your Monster's attack and add it to my dragon! Treason Discharge!"

Dark Rebellion OU: 0

Dark Rebellion opened up its wings and thunder charged at Shark Fortress, absorbing its power while charging up Yuto's Monster.

Shark Fortress ATK: 1700

Dark Rebellion ATK: 4200

"Now go my dragon!" Dark Rebellion fired rapid purple blasts at Shark's Monster but he smirked.

"It won't do anything, Yuto! I banish Shield Shark from my graveyard! My Monster can't be destroyed in battle and damage is reduced by 1000!"

"What?!" Yuto replied as the blasts hit Shark Fortress however it remained on the field.

Shark LP: 1700 – 200

"I end my turn. Ruri, end this!"

"Don't worry, Yuto… Luna… I'm bringing him back!"

Turn 6

Luna LP: 2200 Hand: 0

Shark LP: 1700 Hand: 0

Yuto LP: 2000 Hand: 3

Ruri LP: 200 Hand: 5

"I draw! Since I control no Monsters, Lyrilusc - Turquoise Warbler can appear!" A Monster with a human face but a bird body appeared. She had yellow wings with blue tips.

Lyrilusc - Turquoise Warbler ATK: 100 DEF: 0 Winged Beast/Wind/LVL 1

"When Warbler is summoned like this, I can bring out another Lyrilusc from my hand! Appear Lyrilusc - Cobalt Sparrow!" Another female bird came, this time it had blonde like hair and had brown wings. It had yellow claws for feet.

Lyrilusc - Cobalt Sparrow ATK: 0 DEF: 100 Winged Beast/Wind/LVL 1

"When she's Special Summoned I can add a level one Winged Beast to my hand from my deck! I add Lyrilusc - Sapphire Swallow. And since I control a Winged Beast on the field I can summon it!" Another girl appeared but in a blue bird outfit.

Lyrilusc - Sapphire Swallow ATK: 100 DEF: 0 Winged Beast/Wind/LVL 1

"Overlay! I Xyz Summon rank one, Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale!" The whirlpool had a beam of light rise from it as a taller female bird arose. It shinned in the light as it revealed it's long white and blue wings. It had a sort of dress with golden sections which went over her bird like legs. Four overlay units spun around it.

Lyrilusc - Assembly Nightingale ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Winged Beast/Wind/Xyz/Rank 1/OU 3

"She gains 200 attack for each overlay unit!"

Nightingale ATK: 600

"And she can attack directly for each one… I know!" Shark affirmed.

"So why… isn't he worried?" Luna questioned.

"His mind isn't Academia or Xyz… it's just on dueling." Reiji confirmed.

"This is how he normally responds to losing… he gets inpatient to his opponent taking their time…"

"That's not how I respond!" Shark shouted.

"Yeah it is, Shark!" Ruri teased.

"What do you know?! I'm…."

"You're a close friend, Ryouga." Ruri added. "Rio told me about what happened… she can't be here as she's trying to take down Academia's dimensional block…"

"Rio… is doing that?"

"She opened the door to your true memories… now me, Yuto and Luna will complete this! Assembly Nightingale, go!"

"I…. I have nothing to counter with!" Shark looked at the Xyz Monster strike her wings down, creating an air force which hit directly in the chest.

Shark LP: 200 – 0 Luna, Yuto, Ruri Win

The duel field faded and Shark was on his eyes, his eyes lifeless. Luna and the others all ran over to him. Dark Rebellion turned and looked at Yuto while Yuto looked back firmly. The dragon then faded.

"Ryouga… come on!" Luna shook his body as Shark's eyes returned to normal.

"Luna?"

"Um…. Yeah?"

"You're making me dizzy…." Shark replied with a smirk.

"Are you back?" Ruri asked.

"I… guess I am…. I feel in control of myself again."

"Thank god!" Luna collapsed onto the floor and hugged Shark with all her might.

"Too tight!"

Rio

"I'm not sure how Luna will feel with Ruri and Yuto going to help her." Anna said to Rio as they walked down a street.

"We had to send Yuto and Ruri away… Yuto begun to feel Yuya…. and Odd-Eyes we can't have them get near." Shun added.

"Any extra help to save my brother is needed. We don't know if he has back up or what." Rio replied.

Haruto, Shun, Rio and Anna were searching for the communication and dimensional blockage that covered Xyz.

"We removed something like this in Synchro… but that was more obvious than here…" Shun said.

"Well if it's not in Heartland Tower or the coliseum…. where else? My dad was searching but he couldn't find it…." Haruto responded.

"We'll get him back." Anna replied. "We will get everyone back."

"Dr. Faker got us out of the Xyz Dimension when we went to Standard… Haruto, think.. is there anything you know which could help us?"

"No, I'm sorry…."
"Haruto, stop beating yourself up, that won't help." Anan continued. "Even if Faker left notes, our base got blown up."

"Academia is still here, one of them will know." Shun said.

"They won't say…. if we had an Academia duel disk we could leave this dimension." Rio stated.

"But only one of us would be able to leave…. but that gives me an idea." Haruto replied. "What if it's in the commander's duel disk?"

"Inside a duel disk?"

"Yeah, I mean it should've been in Heartland Tower… but Dennis happily blew it up so maybe… Dennis has it?"

"Haruto… that's a great idea. It makes sense." Shun responded.

"So we find Dennis, beat him… we get it! Then let's find them!" Anna said with determination.

Dennis

"NO!"

Dennis kicked dirt from the street he and his army were in. They had searched but Yuzar was nowhere to be seen.

"Sir!" said a male Obelisk Blue. "What shall we do now?"

"Organize yourselves! Academia sent at least fifty more students over, use them… use the drones! Just find them!" Dennis yelled in frustration as the solider quickly retreated.

Dennis looked at his duel disk and there was no answer from Marina.

"Can't even track her now Heartland Tower is destroyed…. I need results…. Leo won't forgive me!"

He hit Shark's button, there was nothing.

"No! Answer!" Dennis looked up and saw an Academia solider was a flare gun in her pocket. "You! Give me that!"

"Yes, si-!" Dennis snatched it as she took it out of its holster. Dennis fired it into the sky.

"I'm heading there myself! I'll bring in whichever bug is attracted to that light…"

"But, sir the plan?" said another solider.

"I make the plan!"

.

"We're heading towards an Academia flare… this is beyond stupid!" Haruto said. The group were making their way to where the flare exploded.

"We find an Academia group… we find their leader." Anna replied as they walked down an ally.

"Or…. we found the man himself…." Shun saw in the distance Dennis walk down.

The group stood in a row as Dennis stood where he was.

"So you did survive the tower.. how expected."

"You nearly killed us all!" Anna yelled.

"I never meant to but you left me with no choice!"

"You're not a very nice person… at least some Academia I've turned into a card weren't so blood thirsty!"

"You don't know me! Now tell me where the dragons are!"

"Duel me!" Anna smirked back.

"Fine… I'll fight my way through all of you!"

Turn 1

Dennis LP: 4000 Hand: 5

Anna LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"Let's start this off with the Pendulum Monsters Performage Water Dancer and Fire Dancer!" Dennis placed both on his duel disk and a blue jester appeared in one while a similar looking Monster but in red appeared in the other.

Water 2 – 6 Fire

"I Pendulum Summon Performage Ball Balancer and Trick Clown!" Ball Balancer was a fiend on top of a multicoloured ball while Trick Clown was a jester balancing on an even smaller ball with his tongue out.

Performage Ball Balancer ATK: 1000 DEF: 1800 Earth/Spellcaster/Pendulum/LVL 4/Scale 3

Performage Trick Clown ATK: 1600 DEF: 1200 Light/Spellcaster/LVL 4

"Overlay! I Xyz Summon! Appear now! Rank four Performage Trapeze Magician!"A masked figure wearing a white outfit appeared. He held a staff with two ends.

Performage Trapeze Magician ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Light/Spellcaster/XYZ/Rank 4/OU 2

"I set one card and end my turn!"

Turn 2

Dennis LP: 4000 Hand: 0

Anna LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"Using all your cards in one go? Regardless it won't matter! I draw! I use the Spell Urgent Schedule! Since you control more Monsters than me I can use this card!"

"Yes! That's an awesome card!" Haruto cheered.

"I can summon a level four Earth-Machine Monster from my deck along with a level five or higher!"

"What?!"

"Don't worry their effects are negated! I choose Ruffian Railcar and Super Express Bullet Train!" Railcar was the shape of a red train but had a mouth in the upper carriage.

Ruffian Railcar 1000 ATK / 2000 DEF / Earth / Level 4 /Machine

In the far distance a purple and blue train was speeding towards the field. It had jets on both side and had a sharp, pointy front. The train stopped beside Anna.

Super Express Bullet Train ATK: 3000 DEF: 0 Earth/Machine/LVL 4

"I use Southern Stars! This Spell makes Railcar level ten!"

Railcar LVL: 10

"Overlay! From beyond the railway, I Xyz Summon rank ten, Superdreadnought Gun Turret Train - Gustav Max!"

After the explosion faded a new creature in the form of train was revealed on the field. It was different from the others as this had a military design. It had a large gun turret.

Superdreadnought Gun Turret Train - Gustav Max 3000 ATK / 3000 DEF / Light / Rank 10 / Machine/XYZ/OU 2

"Instant rank ten… no wonder you survived this long!" Dennis replied.

"Gustav Max's effect! I use an overlay unit to hit you with 2000 damage!"

"2000?!"

Gustav OU: 1

The gun turret aimed at Dennis and fired rapid shells. Dennis shielded himself from the blasts with his duel disk.

Dennis LP: 4000 – 2000

"Do it, Anna!" Rio yelled.

"Yeah! "I can Xyz Summon using Gustav Max! Go!" The train became yellow energy and fired into the Xyz portal. "Appear; rank eleven, Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe!"

"Rank eleven?!"

On the field appeared a Monster which towered above the crumbled buildings. It was a large green platform with wheels on the bottom. It had small guns around the platform and surpassing all that was a huge cannon positioned in the middle. It had orange markings run down it.

Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe ATK: 4000 DEF: 4000 Earth/Machine/Xyz/Rank 11/OU: 2

"I detach an overlay unit to increase its attack by 2000!"

Liebe OU: 1

Juggernaut Liebe ATK: 6000

"Liebe can attack Monsters X its overlay unit plus one extra! Wipe out that clown!" The canon locked onto Dennis and fired rapid blasts which landed around his clown, wiping it away.

"I use my Quick Play Spell! Rank-Up-Magic Clown Force!"

"Rank-Up?!" Shun and the others all said in shock.

"When I'm attacked… I can use this card! It's a last minute escape! Say hello to Performage Trapeze High Magician! And since I used Clown Force, it attaches as an overlay unit!"

Trapeze Magician fired into the sky and emerging from the light was a new Magician. It wore white clothes with a cape. It had a white top hat.

Performage Trapeze High Magician ATK: 2700 DEF: 2200 Light/Spellcaster/Xyz/OU 3

"It means nothing! Liebe!"

"It does! Clown Force has one last effect! When it is used to rank up, my Monster can't be destroyed and I take no damage the turn I use it!"

"You're annoying! I set one card and since it's the End Phase, because I detached Railcar and Super Express Bullet Train their effects activate! Railcar lets me add an Earth-Machine level ten Monster to my hand. I add Rocket Arrow Express and Super Express lets me add a Machine Monster to my hand so I return Railcar."

Turn 3

Dennis LP: 2000 Hand: 0

Anna LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"I draw! I use Trapeze High Magician's effect!"

High Magician OU: 2

"Up to three times this turn this card can't be destroyed by battle or card effects!"

"Three times?!

"So if you were hoping your set cards could save you, you were wrong! I use my Pendulum effects! Water Dancer turns your train into defence position!" Anna's Monster's switched as it lowered its turret. "And Fire Dancer can inflict piercing damage!"

"I don't like to state the obvious butLiebe has 4000 defence!Anna yelled back.

"That's why I use the Spell Performage Spell Show! For each Pendulum Monster in my scales your Monster loses 1000 attack and defence!"

"That's 2000!" Haruto called out.

"Correct!"

Liebe ATK: 4000 DEF: 2000

"Now I his another overlay unit!"

High Magician OU: 1

"I can attack up to three times!"

"No!"

"Don't worry… I can only attack directly once however!"

High Magician leapt high into the air and pulled out his wand. He slammed it down onto the train which caused it to explode within it seconds.

Anna LP: 4000 – 3300

"High Magician attack directly!" High Magician launched forward and slashed at Anna's waist before jumping back to Dennis' field.

Anna LP: 3300 – 600

"Anna!" Rio yelled.

"I'm good…."

"Really? I remember what Shark told me back in Fusion in a report… he turned someone who used a Railway deck into a card…. was he related?" Dennis smugly said.

"Yeah…. my annoying…. cousin…. and I'm getting him back!"

Turn 4

Dennis LP: 2000 Hand: 0

Anna LP: 600 Hand: 5

"I draw!"

"I use High Magician's effect one more time!"

High Magician OU: 0

"Three times it can't be destroyed by battle or card effects!"

"I can't use my Trap Barrage Blast… that annoying effect… plus I expect even without any set cards… I don't like the look of Performage Spell Show in his graveyard…"

"I see you're pondering tactics… so let me help! Pendulum decks can easily run out of resources… so you have to make it all count! I banish Spell Show!"

"I knew it!"

"I shuffle my two Pendulum Monsters back into my deck. I can then add a Performage to my hand! I add Performage Flame Eater!"

"Fine! I'll overcome that! I summon Night Express Knight!"It was a knight who was connected to a long white train

Night Express Knight 3000 ATK / 3000 DEF / Earth / Level 10 / Machine /

"I can Normal Summon without tribute but its attack is reduced to zero."

Express Knight ATK: 0

"I useSpecial Schedule! This Spell brings back a Machine Monster with 3000 attack from my graveyard in defence! Return Bullet Train!"

Super Express Bullet Train ATK: 3000 DEF: 0 Earth/Machine/LVL 4

"All Anna has to do is summon another Gustav!" Haruto cheered.

"I'll do just that! I Xyz Summon Gustav once more!" The two Monsters fired into the whirlpool as Anna's huge Monster returned.

Superdreadnought Gun Turret Train - Gustav Max 3000 ATK / 3000 DEF / Light / Rank 10 / Machine/XYZ/OU 2

"His effect!"

Gustav OU: 1

"Then I can use Flame Eater! This can be summoned to my field when I would take effect damage! It makes it zero and we both take 500 damage!" Appearing on Dennis's field was a cannonball with a face and a red cape. It opened its mouth and swallowed the shots fired.

Dennis LP: 2000 – 1500

Anna LP: 600 – 100

"No…." Rio's face dropped.

"It's not over!" Anna replied. "I banish my two Super Express Bullet Trains! It allows me to equip Train Connection to Gustav Max! This doubles his attack!"

Gustav ATK: 6000

"How?!"

"And the best part… he inflicts piercing damage! Gustav… wipe out Dennis!"

Gustav aimed his turret at Flame Eater and the rapid missiles landed on the Monsters, sending Dennis into the dirt.

Dennis LP: 1500 – 0 Anna Wins

"Anna!" Rio and the others all came to her to celebrate.

Dennis saw them celebrate and slowly raised his hand to his duel disk.

"No you don't!" Shun ran over and stooped his hand.

"You won't get a thing from me!"

"We don't want to." Shun kept Dennis restrained as Rio took off his duel disk.

"Found it!" Rio said. There was a small black device on his duel disk. She slammed it into the ground and smashed it with her boot.

"Was that it?" Shun asked Dennis.

"I'm saying nothing!"

"So it was! You're in charge here, Dennis… it's over!"

"Not one bit! Academia will just send Edo back! Our army is still here!"

"Well we're not going to turn you into a card…. you can help us end this all here!" Haruto said.

"I will do no such thing! I serve Academia fully unlike other traitors! I'm his right hand man… I'm-!"

"Garbage." Shun replied. He lifted up Dennis and slammed him into a garbage dumpster. He pulled the lid down and wedged a brick over the door.

"I guess Academia will find him at some point." Anna said before laughing.

"Now… let's reunite with the others." Rio replied.

Shun and the others turned to go down the alleyway and there they saw shadows approaching.

"Let's do this!" Rio yelled. They ran down the alleyway and got their duel disks out but their faces dropped.

It was Yuzu, Ray and Gongenzaka holding Yuya.

20 Minutes Later

"Let me out!" Dennis yelled, banging on the dumpster. He then heard footsteps approach. "Hello?!"

The sound of the door opening was a much welcome sight but not the person doing it. She was a blond girl with a cloak on.

"Mina?!"

The girl held Dennis' duel disk and put it on. She hit the button making Dennis scream as it hit. Seconds later a carded Dennis dropped into the girl's hand.

"They must be close." she said.

Thanks to Jalen and Royal2 for the reviews! And Samueljoo, maybe that idea could happen in some regard because a sequel could happen for this story! Thanks again.

Exelion Heart – I have read your idea and once again it's great and I'll work on it with the other one. Plus I saw your story and will need to read it soon! Thanks!
