bopdog111: Well you guys might've already known but the SEVENS Dub was finally released 2 days ago.
Ulrich362: I personally haven't seen it but there's no better time to get back to this right?
bopdog111: Yeah. Along with the amazing voice acting, the SEVENS dub also done things the other dubs haven't before. They replaced the 'Battle Mode' names with the real 'Battle Position' names, kept the 'King of Duels' title the same, and kept the Japanese writing, and Japanese Food in there. Big points for this new era of dubbing for SEVENS. Of course with that, you know we have to get this one some highlight.
Ulrich362: Exactly, and just in time because Yusei seems to be in trouble. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, or Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS but we own the OCs!
It was night when the group of Romin, Leo, Luna, Gavin, Yuga, Roa, and Luke all ran together to find Yusei from where Luna's mark is guiding them. Soon Yuga called, "Hey, do you think it might be from a Dark Signer? Is he facing one?"
"Well, I hope we're not too late!" Gavin told Yuga.
"How far now Luna?" Romin asked her.
"It shouldn't be too much farther." she answered as she led them through the city before they heard an engine racing towards them.
Hearing that they stopped looking over. It was Yusei on his Duel Runner only he blinked. "Huh, what are all of you doing here?"
"You, Yusei." Roa answered at that, "Luna's mark started telling her that your in danger."
Yusei frowned. "It worked out this time, but we're all in danger. I was attacked by someone calling himself a Shadow Drone, he claimed to be working for the Dark Signers."
"So I was right, the Dark Signers was behind that attack!" Yuga said hearing that.
"Shadow Drone..." Luke trailed off at that, "An underling of the Dark Signers selected to duel the Signers."
"There's more, the damage he dealt was real and during the duel he summoned a monster I've never seen before." Yusei frowned before starting to explain.
Flashback...

"Now my Dark Tuner Catastrouge will seal your fate by absorbing the energies of Blizzard Lizard!" the cloaked man called as his Dark Tuner became eight stars that forced their way into Blizzard Lizard where three more stars appeared only for six of them to collide and explode before leaving five black stars in their place.

Yusei, and the woman looked at the monster surprised.
"Since I used my Dark Tuner Catastrouge to summon Frozen Fitzgerald, I can destroy one card on your field and I choose your Junk Warrior!" the cloaked figure smirked as Yusei's Synchro monster shattered. "Now, attack Yusei directly!"
"Not quite, I activate my facedown." Yusei tried to counter only for nothing to happen. "What?"
"When Frozen Fitzgerald battles, you're not allowed to use any of your spell or trap cards." the cloaked figure revealed as his monster shot shards of ice at Yusei that sent him flying back.
(Yusei: 1200)
"Yusei!" the woman cried at this.
"It won't be much longer now, the power of the Dark Signers will see you sent to the Netherworld for eternity!" the cloaked figure smirked ending his turn.
Yusei ? Turn:
"The Dark Signers?" Yusei grunted at this getting up breathing, 'This Dark Synchro...' Deciding not to worry he drew, "I draw!" Looking he called, "And I use the trap Descending Lost Star!"

"Thanks to this, I can summon Junk Warrior back in Defense Position but it's effects will be negated, it's level is lowered by 1, it's Defense Points become 0, and it can't change Battle Position!"
At that Junk Warrior rose up in defense.
Junk Warrior: (Defense Position/Effects Negated/DEF: 0/LV: 5 - 1 = 4/Can't change Battle Position)
"He won't be around for long cause, I sacrifice him!" Yusei called as Junk Warrior vanished as he raised his drawn card, "For me to summon Turret Warrior!"

Turret Warrior: (ATK: 1200 + 1300 = 3500)
"It's more powerful than his monster!" the girl realized seeing that with a smile.
"And now it'll prove that cause Turret Warrior will be attacking Frozen Fritzgerald!" Yusei called as Turret Warrior charged in at the new Synchro.
The monster shattered.
(?: 3000)
"You did it!" the girl cheered.
"Not exactly, since I didn't have any other monsters my Frozen Fitzgerald returns to the field in Defense Position." the cloaked figure smirked as his monster reappeared.
Frozen Fitzgerald: (Defense Position)
Yusei narrowed his eyes seeing that while the girl looked worried as Yusei tries to say, "I end the Battle Phase, and then I'll-" Suddenly ice builds around Turret Warrior confusing him, "What?"
"My Frozen Fitzgerald destroys any monster it battles at the end of the battle phase." the cloaked figure revealed. "The power of the shadows is greater than anything you've experience before!"
At that Turret Warrior shattered leaving Yusei defenseless. Yusei grunted but undeterred calling, "In that case I use One for One!"

"Now, attack his Sonic Chick!"

"Even so you'll still suffer the effects of my spell." the cloaked figure told Yusei as some of the ice hit him.
(Yusei: 0100)
(?: 4100)
"Just one more turn and you'll be a victim of the shadows."

"But this next one will! I Tune level 2 Nitro Synchron with Level 1 Sonic Chick, Level 2 Quillbolt Hedgehog, and Level 2 Speed Warrior!"
Nitro Synchron turned to 2 rings while the three monsters flew up passing the rings turning to 5 stars.

Nitro Warrior: (ATK: 2800 + 1000 = 3800)
"Your new monster is impressive, but it won't change your fate." the cloaked figure told Yusei.
"Let's find out! Nitro Warrior attack Frozen Fitzgerald!"
Nitro Warrior charged punching the Dark Synchro destroying it while the cloaked figure braced himself. (?: 2800)
"When the monster equipped with Junk Barrage destroys a monster, half of that monster's attack points are dealt to you!" Yusei revealed as small bolts of energy charged down.
The cloaked figure braced himself.
(?: 1550)
"Have you forgotten, my Frozen Fitzgerald will simply come back to the field and with the end of your battle phase your Nitro Warrior will be automatically destroyed." the cloaked figure told Yusei.
Frozen Fitzgerald: (Defense Position)
"Too bad my battle's not over quite yet." Yusei told him as Nitro Warrior's boost faded.
Nitro Warrior: (ATK: 3800 - 1000 = 2800)
"What?" the cloaked figure questioned hearing that.
"When Nitro Warrior destroys a monster on your field a monster on your field switches from Defense Position to Attack Position." Nitro Warrior forced Frozen Fitzgerald to change mode.
Frozen Fitzgerald: (Attack Position)
"But the cherry on top is that Nitro Warrior can attack that monster again!" Yusei revealed.
"It can what?" the cloaked figure questioned hearing that.
"Nitro Warrior finish off Frozen Fitzgerald with Dynamite Crunch!"
Nitro Warrior landed a double punch attack at Frozen Fitzgerald destroying it as it shards charge in at the cloaked figure.
The cloaked figure cried out as he was sent flying and the flames vanished.

Winner Yusei Fudo.
Flashback End...
"Dark Synchro?" Yuga asked blinking before cupping his chin in thought, "I had only read about them once before. Something about being darkened cards with a negative level?"
"Yeah, I've never seen anything like it but I have a feeling that wasn't the only one we'll be up against." Yusei nodded only to frown. "I just hope that reporter girl managed to get somewhere safe."
"Did you find anything out about the Dark Signers from him?" Gavin asked him.
"No, after the duel his mark, Dark Tuner, and Dark Synchro Monster all vanished and he didn't remember any of it." Yusei answered.
"So we're stuck with nothing for now..." Roa said cupping his chin, "Well we won't get anything standing around."
"For now you guys should head back... there's something I need to look into." Yusei mentioned before racing off again.
They stared before Romin turned to them, "We better head back. It's getting late."
"Yeah, that makes sense." Leo agreed only to blink noticing Luke was frowning at him. "Is something wrong?"
"Luke it's not a big deal he beat you. You just have to get stronger is all, I don't care." Yuga shrugged to Luke with a smile.
"How am I suppose to be the King of Duels if I lose them?" Luke asked him.
"I lost to you even though I didn't care if I'm the King of Duels." Yuga pointed out as they walked to head back.
Gavin then froze turning around seeing nothing which Luna noticed.
"Is everything ok?" she asked him.
"Thought, I sensed something-" Gavin turned over only to freeze, and cried, "Get back!" He ran over while everyone looked over only for Gavin to push Luna out of the way leading energy webs to grab him.
"What the?" Yuga questioned.
"Gavin!" Romin cried.
"Tch, you got in the way for me to nab the Signer... very well, I suppose you'll have to do."
They looked over seeing a cloaked figure was there with a purple spider mark on her arm with webs coming from her hand.
"That's just like what Yusei said!" Leo cried seeing that.
Gavin struggled against the webs as they faded before the cloaked figure ready a Duel Disk. One that Yuga, and the others recognized.
"Hey that's a Goha Enterprises Duel Disk!" Yuga cried in shock seeing it.
"What, but how is that even possible?" Romin questioned. "Goha doesn't exist yet."
Gavin grunted, "Well now it doesn't matter. If you want them you gotta get passed me!"
"Is that so? It won't be a problem." the cloaked figure smirked to him.
At that Gavin grabbed his suit pulling it off revealing from mysterious circumstances he has on a new uniform in traditional Japanese clothing; he wears a sleeveless lavender kimono with a black collar and a black sash that has a blue line running down the middle, and a black mantle with a red inside and gold lining, held at the neck with a gold cord buttoned with green gems. He also wears a dark lilac gauntlet on his right forearm with a three segmented sections edged in red and a black underlayer. The gauntlet also fastens to his hand by a loop over his middle finger, and he carries a black fan activating a Duel Disk.
Leo, and Luna blinked from the sudden change of clothes as Luke said to them, "Don't ask about it."
"Gavin is the heir of the Sogetsu Style of Dueling. And trust me he might be the best bet against what this Shadow Drone is about." Yuga told the twins with a grin.
"I hope you're right." Luna mentioned nervously.
The Duel Disks changed form into the Rush Duel versions as they called, "Ready for the rush! It's time to Rush Duel!"

"Honestly feels kinda weird not having Rayne, or Rino at the sidelines..." Gavin admitted to himself.
"Maybe pay attention to what's in front of you." the Shadow Drone said before drawing, "I draw!" She looked before taking two cards placing them on her Duel Disk, "I summon Yuri the Shadow Flower Fiend, and Lindo the Shadow Flower Warrior!"
At that two lights appeared from her Duel Disks as the cards shattered showing the two monsters. One looks like a Ninja like little girl wearing a green dress readying wielding a small glass like dagger.

"Not really." Yuga admitted to him.
"I activate Yuri's effect!" the Shadow Drone called as the effect monster glowed, "As I have a Plant Normal Monster, we both send our top cards to the graveyard!"
Gavin frowned as they sent their top cards. The Shadow Drone grabbed two cards before calling, "I place 2 cards face-down to end my turn!"

"Well hopefully Gavin can beat whoever it is." Leo mentioned.
Gavin waved his fan walking around, "You want me to stop? No, I will not! I am the one to always decide, as willed by the passionate feelings hidden deep within my heart! Tribute Summon! Come forth, Yamiruler the Dark Delayer!"
What rose was a large Japanese style warrior wearing black samurai armor with white hair in a ponytail having a katana at one hip while holding a fan like weapon readying with a grunt.

"That's Gavin's ace you two." Luke grinned at the Duel happening.
"It looks awesome." Leo smiled.
"I activate Yamiruler's effect!" Gavin shifted the card's position while Yamiruler held it's fan in front of him.
Yamiruler the Dark Delayer: (Defense Position)
"During the turn, Yamiruler the Dark Delayer is summoned, Gavin can change it's Battle Position in order to prevent both players from Tribute Summoning level 7 or higher monster's until the end of the next turn." Romin explained Yamiruler's effect with a grin.
"I get it, that way he has a powerful defense and he's sure his opponent can't summon anything strong enough to destroy it." Luna realized. "That's a really smart strategy."
"Well I won't stop here!" Gavin grinned placing down another card, "Cause I'll be summoning Nandes the Fire Awakener!"
At that what rose from the card was a red plated armored warrior wielding a naginta readying.

Yamiruler the Dark Delayer: (Attack Position)
Yuga grinned seeing that.
"I set 1 card." Gavin sets a card before calling, "Now Yamiruler attack Linda the Shadow Flower Warrior!"
Yamiruler charged forward slashing with his katana destroying the weaker samurai while the Shadow Drone stepped back. (?: 2800/Hand: 1)

"I send my top card from my Deck to the graveyard to activate Shadowgold Flower's effect." the Shadow Drone said as the eye glowed, "It summons a level 5 or lower plant monster from my hand in Defense Position! Come Grass!"

Shadowgold Flower turned to 6 black orbs surrounding the grass while the shadows looked around only for them to be pushed in while the shadows cried out in pain as it's lone star got pushed forming into 5 glowing dark orbs while the grass morphed around as the orbs spin around at a fast speed.
(LV: 1 - 6 = -5)
"What a cruel way to use a monster to summon something!" Gavin gritted his teeth at this.
"When the shadows are devoured by even darker shadows, the curtain pulls back to reveal a world without light! Come forth, Dark Flower Samurai!"
At that what formed from the orbs was a pitch-black plated armored samurai wielding a crimson bladed katana that has symbols of flowers on the chest plate the back, elbows, and knees on it with a face mask covering it's mouth, and nose, and glowing purple eyes.

"Whoa! Not only does the Dark Signers know about Rush Dueling now, they also included their own unique spin on Synchro?" Yuga then gave a grin, "How cool is that!?"
"Yuga, this is bad." Romin told him.
"You try to tell him?" Luke asked her with a dull look since Yuga does normally act like that.
"I send my top three cards from my Deck to the graveyard to activate Dark Shadow Flower's effect. Darkened Slash!" the Shadow Drone called as the Samurai charged slashing Yamiruler destroying it while Gavin stepped back, "Then Darkened Stance!"
The Crimson Bladed Katana glowed before she revealed, "By destroying a monster on your field, your Nandes switches to attack position."
Nandes stood up.
Nandes: (Attack Position)
"Then Dark Shadow Flower gains half the attack points Yamiruler had."
The Katana glowed brighter.
Dark Shadow Flower:(ATK: 2400 + (2500 / 2) = 3650)
"He'd better have a plan to stop her." Roa frowned.
Gavin stared before saying, "Rayne is that you?"
That surprised his friends while Leo, and Luna looked confused. The Shadow Drone only stared before lowering her hood revealing a bespectacled fair-skinned girl with hazel eyes and blonde hair in a severe hairstyle.
"You guys know her?" Leo inquired.
"Yeah she's one of Gavin's Vice Presidents on the Student Council." Yuga answered at that, "When he duels in the Sogetsu Style she, and her brother Rino both hold, and play his cards for him but he soon evolved into the Neo Sogetsu Style so they just watch from the sidelines whenever he duels."
The twins looked shocked hearing that.
"I expected no less for you to figure me out Gavin." Rayne said to Gavin.
Gavin tries to tell her to stop. "Rayne why did you side with the Dark Signers!? Don't you know how dangerous they are?"
"Of course I do. But I was promised power. Something more powerful then the Sogetsu Style of Dueling." Rayne confirmed with a glare, "The power of the Dark Synchro before me!" She gestured her arm to Dark Shadow Flower who hold his katana.
"But they want to destroy the world!" Gavin yelled for her to realize she's for the wrong side.
"What does it matter?" Gavin widen his eyes as Rayne told him, "What matters for me is being stronger then the Sogetsu Style even with your evolved Neo. Nothing else matters."
Gavin gritted his teeth at this. Roa at this said to them, "Boy those Dark Signers really changed her for the worst."
"Yeah quite annoying." Luke agreed with crossed arms.
Yuga then remembered, "Hey wait a sec. Didn't Yusei say when he won his own Shadow Drone had a memory blank, and all cards related to the Dark Synchro thing vanished?"
"Yeah, he did." Leo nodded. "So all he has to do is beat her... he can do that right?"
"Hear that Gavin!? You have to beat her to break her out of it!" Romin called.
Gavin at that nodded. "I'll do that next turn!"
"You won't be winning anything!" Rayne called taking a card, "I activate Shadow Flower Spore!"

"But now, I got the points to break it! Kurobana attack!" Kurobana charged slashing Nandes while Gavin braced himself while Rayne called, "Now Dark Shadow Flower attack with Darkened Flower Slash!"
Dark Shadow Flower readied charging before slashing downward at Gavin causing him to cry out flying before landing hard. (Gavin: 0350/Hand: 0)
"Gavin!" Leo cried seeing that.
"I end my turn which means Kurobana returns to my Deck." Rayne places the card back as it vanished setting a card.

Gavin slowly gets up shaking, "Y-Yusei was right... that was real damage... almost like Nail's Solid Vision."
"What?" Romin asked in shock.
"My turn draw!" Gavin drew five cards looking at them to see how to turn things around.
Seeing one the cards he grinned, "Alright, I summon Hero of the Yeast, and Karatake the Talismanic Warrior!"

"Another Tribute Summon now?" Leo asked in confusion.

"Rayne!" Gavin ran over kneeling with the others looking over.
Rayne slowly opened her eyes, "Huh...? Where am...?" Seeing Leo beside her she blinked, "Who are you?"
"It's a long story." Leo admitted.
Noticing Gavin she cried, "Gavin!"
She kneeled to him, "Sorry for now dressing to my Sogestsu Style attire."
"No need to worry you were my opponent that time." Gavin shrugged at that while she looked confused, "Do you remember anything Rayne?"
"Uh... no, no I don't think so." Rayne admitted rubbing her head, "Feels like I felt through a weird dream."
"Come on, we'll explain everything on the way." Gavin told her.
Luna however frowned before turning to Yuga. "How did someone from your time get here, and how did the Dark Signers find her?"
"Your guess is as good as mine." Yuga shrugged crossed arms, "Nail has the Time Travel Road with him, and doesn't allow unauthorized access."
"Did Goha Enterprises create their own version?" Luke suggested.
"Well it explain a bit but we're they trying to contact the Dark Signers? Unlikely." Romin mentioned to that.
"That only raises more questions though." Roa said to them, "Eitherway now that the Dark Signers know about Rush Dueling Now, we gotta step up our game."
"And I think I have the best way to do that." Yuga grinned before saying, "Come on, let's test it out! I'm sure it's working 100% this time!"
"Test it on Leo!" Luke called quickly.
After heading back, and readying Kaizo up with some wenches the AI lamented, "Won't there come a day you stop that Yuga?"
"Quit complaining." Yuga told him finishing up before turning to Leo, "Alright Leo, insert your Deck in Kaizo, and let's see if it'll work good." A tray opened below Kaizo.
Leo nodded putting his deck in the tray. Kaizo closes the tray before beeping up, "Altering, altering, altering, altering, altering!" A ding was heard, and he said, "Done!"
The tray opened showing the Deck, and a second one next to it. Leo grinned taking both decks. He checks the new Deck.

Leo smiled before turning to Luke. "So... rematch?"
"Definitely." Luke grinned to him at this.
"Hold on Luke."
Luke looked to Yuga confused who hand him three cards with a grin, "I know you said their not your thing but me, and Nail whip these up before we came here."
Looking at them Luke widen his eyes before grinning adding them in his Deck.
Meanwhile...
Two people a young woman, and a blonde haired man were watching from an orb the watch, and Rayne lost where the woman sighed, "Guess the Duelist from my era that my sister picked wasn't good enough."
"It would seem so." the blonde haired man noted.
"Still I hope it had given you, and your organization a clear idea of what these Rush Duels are about." the woman grinned to him, "So what do you think of them Roman?"
"They have potential." he nodded.
"And thanks to our Chief, you, and your group can use them too. That way you be fighting the Signers at Goha Enterprises own game." the woman grinned to him, "All in exchange for helping us making sure the word 'Dueling' is never heard of again."
"You came because destiny willed it, just as destiny will decide our battle." Roman told her simply.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." the woman shakes her head before saying, "Well at any case destiny brought us together for a reason, just as it will end like it's suppose too."
Roman just nodded calmly.
"Well my sister will be here soon. She will fill you in on Nail's Maximums." the woman waved before vanishing.
Alone Roman turned to the orb squinting his eyes towards the image of Yuga, "Hmm..."
bopdog111: The Dark Signers now know about Rush Duels, and Roman seems to have an interest to Yuga.
Ulrich362: It would seem so.
bopdog111: But who was that woman that was with him, and why was she, and her sister with the Dark Signers?
Ulrich362: Only time will tell, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
