It had been hours since Serena, Masumi, and Sawatari left to go search for their lost comrades. The sky was getting dark and the temperature was dropping.
"Serena, it's getting late we should go back." Masumi said.
"No way! We've come this far!" Serena argues.
"Stop being an idiot. We are obviously not going to find them tonight. We should head back and start searching again tomorrow." Sawatari said.
"But-"
"Listen Serena. I know you owe Yuzu for what she did for you, but you're not doing her any favors by getting taken by those Security guys, or worse." Masumi said which made the girl stop walking.
"...fine." Serena said as she began walking back.
"Finally." Sawatari said.
After a while, they made it back to the house where all of the kids were put to bed while Yuya and Crow stayed up to wait for the group's return.
"Guys! I was worried about you all. I'm glad you're back!" Yuya happily said.
"Where's Reira?" Masumi asked.
"He is sleeping in the kid's room. They insisted on it." Crow said.
"Oh, I see." Masumi said.
"Ugh...I'm sooo exhausted...where is my bed room?" Sawatari asked while rubbing his eyes.
"Hehe...as you can see, this house isn't the biggest house in the world..." Crow said rubbing the back of his head.
"Yeah, no kidding." Sawatari ungratefully muttered which earned himself two smacks on the head from Masumi.
"While you were gone, I was able to set up a few beds in my storage room, so two of you can sleep in there. One of you can take my room and the other one will sleep on the couch." Crow explained.
"I call Crow's ro-" Sawatari tried to say before being punched in the back of the head by Serena this time.
"Shut up, Sawatari!" Serena shouted as the blonde boy.
"Where will you sleep?" Masumi asked Crow.
"On the ground with a blanket and a pillow, I'll be fine." Crow answered.
"You don't need to do that. I'll sleep on the floor." Serena volunteered.
"I'll take the floor. You guys were searching for the others all night so you will need a good place to sleep. You girls can sleep in the beds while Sawatari sleeps on the couch and I'll sleep on the floor next to him." Yuya said which everyone agreed to, except Sawatari who was pissed that he didn't get a bed.
The next morning, Serena walked in the living room and saw that Sawatari was passed out on the couch while Yuya was uncomfortably sleeping on the floor. Serena felt bad for the tomato haired teen and went back into her room and got her blanket. She walked back in and placed the blanket on Yuya.
'What a thoughtful boy...' Serena thought to herself. Yuzu sure is lucky. As she looked at the boy, her vision changed and she now saw a young boy with pink and purple hair laying on the ground of her castle that she was held hostage in at Academia. It reminded her of when he use to sneak in to see her...but she didn't want to think about it.
She shook her head and began to get to the door to carry out her plan. She was going to get a head start on looking for Yuzu and the others.
After beginning her search, she continued to walk through the streets of the commons searching for her friends. She asked a few thugs if they had seen any of her friends and when they didn't answer, she beat the answer out of them.
'C'mon...I have to find them...' Serena thought to herself as she made her way through the slums.
"Serena!" A voice shouted from ahead which caused Serena to look up. Ahead of her, two boys with green and blue hair were running towards her as fast as they could.
"Frank? Tanner? Why are you guys out so early?" Serena asked.
"We usually sneak out early while Crow is sleeping since he doesn't like it when we go out alone into a part of the Tops." Tanner explained.
"I see..." Serena said.
"We were trying to steal some food when we saw two people who looked exactly like you and Yuya trying to tell people about a Dimensional War! But we got caught by some people and were forced to run away. We were trying to get back to you and the others as fast as we could!" Frank explained.
"Really?!" Serena said with a shocked and happy tone.
"Should we go get the others?" Tanner asked.
"No, it's fine. Take me to them and we'll bring them back to Crow's place." Serena said.
"You got it!" Tanner said before running towards the Tops zone with Serena following.
With Yuzu and Yugo
"C'mon, Yuzu! This is the third spot! The people in the last two threatened to call Security! These people will never listen!" Yugo protested while the two were sitting in a alleyway.
"As Lancers, it's our job to inform the people of this dimension of the dangers that are going to come if they don't help us." Yuzu said.
"We will be arrested if people recognize us." Yugo said referring to them defeating the 3 Duel Chasers.
"So what? Are You afraid of those guys?" Yuzu asked with a smirk.
"Of course I'm not!" Yugo shouted angrily.
"Then let's go!" Yuzu said walking out in front of a restaurant with Yugo following.
"Ugh..." Yugo groaned.
"Please listen! An evil group called Academia is going to attack this place! They will turn everyone into cards! We have to unite and fight back against them!" Yuzu shouted but most people ignored her.
"There sure are some crazies out today."
"What a bunch of lunatics."
"Is this a money scam?"
"Please, you have to listen! They come from another dimension! They have already attacked two other dimensions already!" Yuzu shouted.
"Is that so?" A man asked sitting at a table with his wife.
"Yes! It's true!" Yuzu told the man.
"Oh really? Does Dimension traveling technology even exist?" The man asked.
"Honey, don't talk to them." His Wife said before laughing.
"Yes is does! It's on our duel disks!" Yuzu explained.
"Then do it. Travel to a different dimension." The man said.
"I can't do that so easily..." Yuzu said.
"So you are lying."
"She ain't lying! I traveled Dimension's multiple times with my Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" Yugo shouted.
"Really? Then do it." The man said.
"Fine." Yugo said before pulling out his Clear Wing Synchro Dragon.
"This should be interesting..." The man's wife said.
"Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings and strike down our enemies at light speed! Go, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" Yugo shouted as he held his card up in the air.
But nothing happened.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" The man and his wife both laughed.
"What the hell Clear Wing?!" Yugo shouted at his card.
"Yugo, lets just go." Yuzu said as she sadly walked away causing her friend to follow her.
"These people are horrible. They won't listen until the Fusion Dimensions invades. And by then it will be too late..." Yugo said.
"How are we going to make allies at this rate?" Yuzu sadly said. Things weren't looking good.
"Yuzu! Yugo!" A teen girl shouted which caused both teens to look up.
Both of there eyes widened as they saw the person in front of them. The girl wearing a red jacket with white shorts and indigo hair along with two young kids running behind her.
"Serena-!"
"RIN!" Yugo shouted as he jumped towards the girl like he was going to hug her, but was met with a fist to the gut.
"Poor guy." Frank said.
"For the millionth time, I'm not your Rin!" Serena shouted.
"...Serena!" Yuzu shouted before hugging her friend who timidly hugged her back.
"Ugh...how did you find us?" Yugo said while rubbing his head.
"We saw you and took her to you guys!" Tanner cheerfully said.
"And you guys are...?" Yuzu asked.
"My name's Frank! And this is Tanner!" Frank said.
"Thank god we've finally found you guys. This past day sure has been strange..." Yuzu said.
"Tell me about it. Have you guys dueled those Security guys?" Serena asked.
"Yeah, we dueled three one Yugo's D-Wheel." Yuzu said.
"Masumi, Sawatari, Yuya, and I had to duel some of those Officers. And then Yuya took on some big Officer and managed to beat him." Serena explained.
"YUYA?! Yuya was with you?!" Yuzu ecstatically shouted.
"Yup." Serena answered.
"And he's alright?" Yuzu asked.
"Yup." Serena answered.
"Oh thank god..." Yuzu happily said.
"We can bring you back to see everyone." Serena said.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Yuzu said wanting to see Yuya again.
"We can't go yet! We have to go get my D-Wheel!" Yugo shouted. They had left the D-Wheel at Yugo's house since it would attract Security if anyone else saw it.
"The guy who saved us has a D-Wheel. He can drive you to your house and you can pick it up later." Serena explained.
"...Fine. Let's go see our friends!" Yugo cheerfully said.
After a while, the Lancers and the two kids were making there way back to Crow's house.
"Serena, thank you for putting so much effort into finding us." Yuzu thanked her Fusion counterpart.
"It's the least I could do." Serena said.
"How early did you get up to look for us?" Yugo asked.
"I'm not sure. But everyone was sleeping when I woke up." Serena told her.
"Yuya must have slept like a dog. He always does." Yuzu said with a slight blush.
"You know how Yuya sleeps?" Yugo asked with a sly smile.
"SH-SHUT UP!" Yuzu shouted as she whipped out here magical fan and slapped Yugo in the face.
"Hehehe!" Both kids laughed.
"Geez...you brought your fan with you to another dimension...why am I not surprised..." Yugo said while rubbing his head, again. 'What is it with me always getting hit by woman...'
"Guys! We're only a few streets away!" Tanner cheerfully said.
"Hooray!" Yugo cheered. All this walking was making him tired. "Wow, I can't believe things have gone so smoothly toda-"
"Stop right there."
Two cloaked duelist jumped down from different roof tops and landed in front and behind the group. One was extremely bulky with a red glowing eye. The other had a white mask and long red bangs.
"Duel us!" The masked woman shouted.
"T-The Black Rose Witch!" Yugo shouted in shock.
"Who?" Yuzu asked with a worried tone.
"S-She's a scary duelist who can inflict loads of pain to her opponents due to her special connection with her monsters..." Yugo explained.
"We've heard stories about her...she's insanely strong!" Frank said worried.
"But who's that other guy?" Tanner asked.
"There's no time to find out! We have to win and get out of here!" Yugo shouted.
"You will be dueling me! I will crush you!" The bulky cloaked man shouted while pointing at Yugo.
"You can try!" Yugo shouted as he took a step forward towards the cloaked man.
"Yuzu, I'll take care of this." Serena said stepping in front of her counterpart.
"But Serena-"
"No. I'll duel both of you." The Black Rose Witch said pointing at the two counterparts.
"Fine! We'll defeat you!" Serena shouted.
"Tanner, Frank, get back to the house!" Yuzu told the two boys.
"Right!" Frank said before taking the younger boy's hand and running off.
"Prepare to be destroyed/crushed!" The woman and man yelled perspectively as they activated their duel disks. The woman had a crimson duel disk with a dark red blade while the man had a black duel disk with a crimson blade.
"Let's go!" Yuzu, Serena, and Yugo shouted while each activated their own duel disk.

"I set two cards face down, turn end." Yuzu concluded.
"My turn." The Black Rose Witch coldly said. She moved her head as if she eyed the card she drew and then looked back at her opponents.
"Be ready, Yuzu." Serena told the girl.
"Right." The pink haired girl responded.
"I summon the tuner monster, Night Rose Knight!" The Witch said as a knight in black and white armor appeared.

Come forth! Level 7! Black Rose Blooming Dragon!" The Witch exclaimed. Suddenly, a powerful wind went through the field as the dragon appeared. A red and black dragon that looked like it's body was covered in dark red rose petals appeared. The dragon also had a long black tail that had red thorns sticking out of it.
Black Rose Blooming Dragon (2400/1800) LVL:7
"What is this...pressure...?" Yuzu uttered. The dragon roared ferociously which caused the field to shake.
"What the hell?!" Serena shouted in confusion.
"Black Rose Blooming Dragon's effect! When this card is Synchro Summoned, I can target a monster on your field and it is destroyed! Then, you take damage equal to it's level times 300!" The Witch shouted as she pointed at Yuzu's Monster.
"Yuzu, watch out!" Serena shouted.
"Go, Blooming Darkness Gale!" The Witch shouted. The dragon's roar created a strong wind of dark rose petals that consumed the Pendulum monster.
"Mozart...AAAAHHH!" Yuzu shouted as her monster was destroyed. The powerful wind and the shockwave from the explosion knocked her through the air.
YUZU: 4000-1600 LP
"Yuzu!" Serena shouted in concern.
"I'm not done. I activate the spell card Synchro Cancel! I send Black Rose back to the extra deck to summon it's Synchro Materials! Come back, Night Rose Knight! Lord Poison!" The Witch shouted as her two monsters returned.

SERENA: 4000-1900 LP
"Grr..." Serena uttered as she got back on her feet.
"I set one card face down, turn end." The Witch concluded.
"She knocked both of us down below half of our life points in her first turn..." Yuzu uttered.
"And this pain...it's like she increased the strength of the solid vision..." Serena uttered.
"But we can't give up! This duel is just getting started!" Yuzu shouted regaining her confidence.
"That's right! My turn!" Serena shouted as she drew. She looked at the card and looked at her opponent with an extremely serious look. "Continuous Trap, Call of the Living Dead, activate! Revive, Cat Dancer!"
Moonlight Cat Dancer (2400/2000) LVL:7
"Next is the spell card Moonlight Perfume! I can revive my Moonlight Blue Cat in my graveyard!" Serena shouted as the blue cat returned.

"Cat Dancer's effect! By releasing Blue Cat, she can attack your monster twice, and the first time it isn't destroyed!" Serena explained.
"If this works, Serena will win!" Yuzu cheered.
"Battle! Moonlight Cat Dancer, attack Black Rose Blooming Dragon! Full Moon Crest!" Serena shouted. Her monster moved her arms in a circular motion before firing a cyan blast at the dragon.
"Trap Activate! Synchro Barrier! I release Black Rose Blooming Dragon to take no damage this turn!" The Witch shouted.
"Sacrificing her monster like that..." Serena grunted.
"But now she's wide open! I'll finish her next turn, Serena!" Yuzu shouted.
"Right. Turn End." Serena concluded.
"My turn-"
"Black Rose Blooming Dragon's additional effect activates! During the end of my opponent's turn in which this card was sent to the graveyard, I can banish a plant-type monster to summon it back! Bloom once more, Black Rose Blooming Dragon!" The Witch shouted as the red and black dragon returned.
Black Rose Blooming Dragon (2400/1800) LVL:7
"So that was her strategy..." Serena realized.
"I won't give up! My turn! With the Set Scale, Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters!" Yuzu shouted as two bright lights flew out of the Pendulum Portal. "Soprano the Melodious Songstress! And from he extra deck, Prodigy Mozart the Melodious Maestra!"

"Battle! Bloom Diva, attack Black Rose Blooming Dragon! At this moment, Bloom Diva's effect activates! Your monster is destroyed and you take any damage I would have taken! Go, Reflect Shout!" Yuzu shouted as a powerful green wave of wind was created by her monster's singing.
"I activate the effect of Pink Rose Dragon's effect in my hand! By discarding it when a Black Rose monster is attacked, the attacking monster has it's effects negated!" The Witch countered.
"That means she can counter attack!" Serena shouted with a worried tone.
"Counter Attack, Black Rose! Dark Petal Flare!" The Witch shouted as her monster shot a red stream of burning energy which shot through the green winds.
"Quick Play Spell, Fusion Cancel! I return my Fusion to the extra deck in order to summon back it's Fusion Materials! Return, Prodigy Mozart! Soprano!" Yuzu countered. Before the blast was about to hit, Yuzu's monster was enveloped in a bright light and split back into the two Melodious Monsters, dodging the attack.
Soprano the Melodious Songstress (1400/1400) LVL:4
Prodigy Mozart the Melodious Maestra (2600/2000) LVL:8

"Turn End." Yuzu concluded.
"My turn!" The Witch shouted as she looked at the card she drew. "Do you think your monsters are safe from my dragon? Think again!"
"What?!" Yuzu said with an extremely worried tone.
"Black Rose Blooming Dragon's final effect! By banishing a monster in my graveyard that is either a plant-type or has Rose in it's name, I can return one special summoned monster on my opponent's field to their hand! I banish Night Rose Knight and Bloom Diva is sent back to your extra deck! Rose Degrading!" The Witch shouted. Multiple vines shot out from the dragon's body and wrapped around the Diva before she turned into light and vanished.
"What?!" Yuzu shouted as her eyes shook.
"Battle! Black Rose Blooming Dragon, Direct Attack! Dark Petal Flare!" The Witch commanded.
"...Quick Play Spell, Melodious Guardian, activate! By banishing the level 4 Soprano the Melodious Songstress, I reduce the damage by Soprano's level times 400!" Yuzu countered as the spirit of Soprano intercepted the attack. But, she was still knocked back by the shock wave.
YUZU: 1600-800 LP
"Are you ok, Yuzu?" Serena asked in concern.
"I'm ok..." The girl weakly replied.
"Turn End." The Witch concluded.
"Damn you! My turn!" Serena shouted at the Black Rose Witch as she angrily drew. She was determined to protect her friend and she swore to defeat this Witch, no matter what.
Yugo stood across from the bulky cloaked man with a red glowing red eye.
"I'll take the first turn. I summon Thorn Prisoner - Van!" The man shouted as a purple fiend in a light blue cloak that was covered in vines appeared.
Thorn Prisoner - Van (0/0) LVL:1
"Turn end." The man concluded.
'He has to be planning something with that monster, but I can't back down!' Yugo thought as he glared at his opponent's monster. "My turn! I activate the spell card Speed Draw!

Chanbarider (2000/1000)-(2100/1000)
"Thorn Prisoner - Van's effect activates! By revealing Thorn Prisoner - Darli in my hand and paying 400 life points..." The man explained as purple and black glowing vines wrapped around him.
CLOAKED MAN: 4000-3600 LP
"...I take no battle damage!" The man shouted as the Synchro monster slashed through the fiend. "Then, I can special summon Van back from my graveyard along with Thorn Prisoner - Darli in my hand!"
Thorn Prisoner - Van (0/0) LVL:1
Thorn Prisoner - Darli (0/0) LVL:1
"Chanbarider's effect lets it attack twice! Go, Attack Darli!"

CLOAKED MAN: 3600-3200 LP
"...to negate the attack!" The man finished.
"Tsk...I set 2 cards face down, turn end." Yugo concluded with a stern look.
"My turn!" The man shouted as he drew, sounding a bit more malicious then he did earlier.
"What the hell is up with this guy...?" Yugo said to himself.
"I tune my level 1 Thorn Prisoner - Darli to my level 1 Thorn Prisoner - Van! Expose your warped worldly desires, commit your flesh to thorns! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 2! Thorn Observer - Zuma!" The man shouted as a green fiend imprisoned in vines appeared.
Thorn Observer - Zuma (0/0) LVL:2
"Zuma's effect! When this card is Synchro Summoned, every monster gains a Thorn Counter!" The man explained as a purple and black glowing vine wrapped around Yugo's monster. "Monsters with Thorn Counters cannot attack."
"What?!" Yugo shouted.
"And during each of our end phases, each monster on the field gains another Thorn Counter, and the player takes 400 damage for each one." The man explained with a malicious grin.
"That's not good..." Yugo grunted.
"I set one card face down, turn end. And now I'll take 400 damage since Zuma gained 1 Thorn Counter." The man said as the vines wrapped around him once more.
CLOAKED MAN: 3200-2800 LP
"I have to defeat him right away so I can help Yuzu and Serena! My turn!" Yugo shouted as he drew.
"Continuous Trap, Multiplying Horns activate! Now damage dealt by Thorn Counters are doubled!" The man shouted as the vines tightened around Yugo's monster.
"It won't matter! I'm going to defeat you right now! By releasing Chanbarider, I Advance Summon Speedroid Passinglider!" Yugo shouted as the blue plane appeared.

Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice (100/100) LVL:1
"Battle! Speedroid Passinglider, attack Thorn Observer - Zuma!" Yugo commanded as his Pendulum monster flew towards the Synchro monster.
"Zuma's effect! Since it's Synchro Materials are in the graveyard, by paying 400 life points..."
CLOACKED MAN: 2700-2300 LP
"...to reduce the damage to 0!" The man countered as the plane ripped through the Synchro monster. "And since a monster with a Thorn Counter left the field, I take another 100 damage."
CLOAKED MAN: 2300-2200 LP
"And since there are no monsters with Thorn Counters on the field, Multiplying Thorns are destroyed. And due to Zuma's effect, I can summon it back along with it's Synchro Materials!" The man shouted as his three fiends returned.
Thorn Prisoner - Van (0/0) LVL:1
Thorn Prisoner - Darli (0/0) LVL:1
Thorn Observer - Zuma (0/0) LVL:2
"Go, Red-Eyed Dice, attack !" Yugo commanded his yellow dice with a red eye as it flew forwards.
"Darli's effect! Since I control another Thorn Prisoner, by paying 400 life points..."
CLOAKED MAN: 2200-1800 LP
"...To negate the attack!" The man shouted. "Hahaha! Now your attack is over!"
"...I... Am Not Done! Trap Activate! Urgent Tuning! This card lets me perform a Synchro Summon!"
"What?!"
"I tune level 1 Red-Eyed Dice to my level 5 Passinglider! Magical sword with the form of a cross. Use your power to rend all enemies! Synchro Summon! Appear now! Level 6! High-Speedroid Makendama!" Yugo shouted.
High-Speedroid Makendama (2200/1600) LVL:6
"This is the end! Makendama, attack Thorn Observer - Zuma and end this duel!" Yugo shouted as his monster rocketed towards the fiend.
"...When a Thorn Monster is attacked while I control 3 or more Thorn Monsters, I can pay half of my life points..." The man exclaimed as the vines tightened around him, ripping through his cloak.
CLOAKED MAN: 1800-900 LP
"...To activate the Trap Card from my hand, Wall of Thorns! The attack is negated!" The man shouted as a wall of thorny vines appeared and blocked the Speedroid's attack.
"Damn it...now that the Battle Phase has ended, I can activate Makendama's effect activates! By banishing Speedroid Double Yo-Yo, you take 500 points of damage!" Yugo shouted as the monster shot a blue blast that collided with the bulky cloaked man.
CLOAKED MAN: 900-400 LP
"I...set one card face down, turn end." Yugo concluded.
"Hehehehe..." The man began to maniacally laugh. As he laughed, he ripped off his torn cloak and threw it to the side.
"What...the...hell?!" Yugo gasped in shock and terror as he saw who the cybernetic man was. The man had white hair and light skin. He wore a riding suit that was purple in the middle and green in the sides with red lines connecting them along with grey spikes on his elbows. On his face and chest, he had many yellow criminal markings and a mechanical glowing red Left eye.
"Beautiful...this duel...IS BEAUTIFUL!"
"I activate the spell card Fusion Recovery! I add the spell card Fusion and a Fusion material such as Purple Butterfly back to my hand. Then I activate the spell card Fusion! I fuse Cat Dancer and Purple Butterfly in my hand! Butterfly with violet poison! The beautiful wild beast that dances under the moonlight! Swarm in the vortex of the moon's gravity and revive with a new power! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Elegant beast dancing on the moonlit wilderness! Moonlight Panther Dancer!" Serena shouted as the evolved form of her ace appeared.
Moonlight Panther Dancer (2800/2000) LVL:8
"Panther Dancer..." Yuzu said fondly remembering when Serena used the same card against herself.
"Panther Dancer's effect allows it to attack your dragon twice and the first time it isn't destroyed! Battle! Panther Dancer! Attack Black Rose Blooming Dragon!" Serena commanded as her evolved ace leaped into the air and slashed the dragon.
BLACK ROSE WITCH: 3800-3400 LP
"Second Attack! Full Moon Burst!" Serena commanded as he thrusted her fist through the air. Her monster created a dark sphere in her hand and threw it towards the red and black dragon.
"I banish Black Rose Barrier to use it's effect! I can send the top card of my deck to the graveyard and if it is a Plant-Type, Black Rose isn't destroyed! The card is..." The masked woman said as she checked the top card of her deck. "...Guardian Plant! Black Rose isn't destroyed by this battle!"
"But you still take the damage!"
BLACK ROSE WITCH: 3400-3000 LP
"Damn...I'm sorry Yuzu, I couldn't defeat that dragon." The indigo haired girl apologized.
"Don't worry, Serena. I'll definitely defeat it next turn!" Yuzu shouted enthusiastically.
"...Right! Turn End." Serena concluded.
"...My turn!" Yuzu shouted as he drastically drew her card. She looked at her card and then closed her eyes, before looking at her opponent. "I can tell you and that dragon have a close bond."
"..." The Witch didn't reply.
"I see. Your power allows that allows you to strengthen the impact of the attacks of your monsters also allows you to connect on a deeper level with your monster's, right?" Yuzu said.
"..." The masked woman didn't say anything.
"I don't understand why you are targeting us, and even up against your amazing strength...I won't back down! With the Set Scale, Pendulum Summon! Come forth, Solo the Melodious Songstress! And back from the extra deck, Prodigy Mozart!"
Prodigy Mozart the Melodious Maestra (2600/2000) LVL:8
Solo the Melodious Songstress (1600/1000) LVL:4
"Continuous Trap, Copy Singer activate! I can summon this face up card in a monster zone and it's treated as a Melodious monster on my field. I choose Solo! It's level also becomes equal to the monster it's treated as!" Yuzu explained as a second Solo appeared.
Copy Singer (Solo the Melodious Songstress) (0/0) LVL:4
"I overlay my level 4 Solo the Melodious Songstress and Copy Performance! With these two monsters, I build the overlay network!" Yuzu shouted as her two monsters turned into two yellow overlay units that flew into the overlay network.
"Xyz Summon...?!" Serena uttered in shock, not knowing that Yuzu had learned Xyz.
"Beautiful and elegant floral diva, conduct the song of hope and prosperity and guide the concert with your baton! XYZ SUMMON! Now come to the stage! Rank 4! Bloom Lorin the Melodious Floral Conductor!" Yuzu shouted as her Xyz monster appeared.
Bloom Lorin the Melodious Floral Conductor (2300/2100) RNK:4 OVU:2
"Bloom Lorin gains 300 ATK for every other Melodious monster on my field!" Yuzu explained as her monster powered up.
Bloom Lorin (2300/2100)-(2600/2100)
"Bloom Lorin's other effect! By detaching a overlay unit, Black Rose loses 500 ATK for every Melodious monster on my field and in my graveyard!" Yuzu exclaimed as the spirit of Solo floated behind Lorin as Mozart flew beside her. "There are 2 on my field and 1 in my graveyard, so there's a total of 3! That means Black Rose loses 1500 ATK!"
Black Rose (2400/1600)-(900/1600)
"Battle! Bloom Lorin, attack Black Rose! Virtuoso Stream!" Yuzu commanded as her monster started singing while pointing her baton directly at the dragon, shooting a blue blast from the tip.
"...I banish Pink Rose Dragon to use it's effect! Any battle damage is reduced to 0! Then, I draw a card!" The Witch countered as a pink barrier formed around her as he dragon was destroyed.
"Go, Mozart! Direct Attack! Graceful Wave!" Yuzu commanded.
"Guardian Plant's effect! I can summon it from the graveyard to take the direct attack! And then it's banished!" The red cloaked women countered as a plant appeared in front of her, taking the attack instead.
"...she may have avoided damage...but I destroyed her monster..." Yuzu said to herself.
"End your turn." The Witch coldly said.
"Tch...Turn End." The Melodious user concluded.
"You don't have any plants in your graveyard, so you can't summon back your monster!" Serena exclaimed.
"...It Doesn't Matter! I activate the spell card Pot of Greed! I draw 2 cards! Quick Play Spell, Burial from a Different Dimension activate! I return the banished Night Rose Night, Guardian Plant, and Pink Rose Dragon to my graveyard!" The Witch exclaimed.
"But why?" Yuzu said in confusion.
"Next is the spell card Rose Reborn! While I control no other monsters, I can special summon up to 2 level 4 or lower monsters from my graveyard with Rose in their names! Come back, Night Rose Knight! Pink Rose Dragon!"
Night Rose Knight (1000/1000) LVL:3
Pink Rose Dragon (1400/600) LVL:4
"Now I activate the spell card Garden Draw! I draw a card for every plant-type, or Rose monster on my field! I draw 2!" The masked woman shouted as she drew.
"She's planning something..." Yuzu uttered in nervousness.
"I activate the spell card Shinning Rebirth! This card lets me Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster in my graveyard by using monsters in my field as Synchro material!"
"What?!" Serena shouted in shock.
"I tune my level 3 Night Rose Knight to my level 4 Pink Rose Dragon! Red petals darkened by hatred! Bloom into an unstoppable force and envelop the world with your chilling flames! SYNCHRO SUMMON! Come forth! Level 7! Black Rose Blooming Dragon!" The Witch Shouted as her dragon returned with a threatening roar.
Black Rose Blooming Dragon (2400/1600) LVL:7
"Not again...!" Yuzu uttered in horror.
"Black Rose's effect! Your monster is destroyed and you take 300 points of damage times it's level! Destroy Prodigy Mozart and wipe out her life points! Blooming Darkness Gale!" The red cloaked woman commanded her dragon.
"I...won't lose!" Yuzu shouted. She gathered her strength and jumped up onto a platform and grabbed an Action Card. "Action Spell Guard Cover! I switch the target of your dragon's effect to Bloom Lorin! And since Xyz monsters have Ranks instead of levels, I take no damage!"
"I'm not done! Black Rose's other effect! By banishing Night Rose Knight, your monster is sent back to the hand! I choose to send back your Panther Dancer! And since it's from the extra deck, it's sent to there instead! Rose Degrading!" The masked woman shouted as she pointed at Serena's monster.
"I activate the effect of Moonlight Emerald Snake in my hand! When a Moonlight monster would leave the field from a card effect, I can discard this card to negate that effect!" Serena countered as a green humanoid snake stood in front of her monster.
"Alright! Both of our monsters have higher attacks then her monster, so she can't attack!" Yuzu exclaimed.
"..." The Witch stood there with her arms down. Suddenly, the winds around the duelists became more powerful as her the cloaked woman's bangs rose up. A dark red aura appeared around the women's body as her dragon roared.
"What's going on?!" Serena yelled as the two girls braced themselves from the powerful winds.
"...It's time...for me...TO DESTROY YOU!"
In a lab room, red "error" messages were appeared on the holographic screens.
"Sir! We are losing control of the duelist crusher!" A male scientist shouted.
"And the Black Rose Witch is losing control!" A female scientist yelled.
"Well keep them in check. I don't want these teens to die so soon. They will be important later on..." Roget told the scientist who began pressing buttons, trying to reign in the duelist.
"I k-know who you are!" Yugo nervously shouted as he pointed at the cybernetic duelist. "You are...Sergey Volkov! The duelists crusher! You defeated and killed many criminals and Security officers. It took hundreds of Officers to take you down! You were dead! Why are you alive and why are you after us?!"
"MY TURN!" Sergey shouted as he drew, paying no attention to the teen's words.
'...It doesn't matter...I'm going to win on the next turn...just gotta survive this turn...' Yugo thought to himself.
"You...You think you've won, right?" The cybernetic man asked.
"Eh?"
"Your face, it doesn't say "I'll win", but "I've won". Instead of the desperate desire to win, I rather crush someone who's sure they'll win. It's the most beautiful of all! You're concerned about your other friends and you're sure that you are going win! Truly a beautiful battle. This battle should end beautifully...IN YOUR DEFEAT!" Sergey shouted like a mad man as his eyes grew wide while his mechanical eye glowed.
"What?!" Yugo yelled in a worried tone.
"I activate the spell card Fusion! I fuse Van, Darli, and Zuma!" Sergey maniacally shouted as he inserted the card into his duel disk.
"Fusion?! How the hell do you have that?!" Yugo shouted in shock.
"Wear the shell of hardship, pain and mediocrity as your shell; shed it all and now, storm the path of thorns! FUSION SUMMON! Come forth! Level 8! THORN OVER SERVER - VAN DARLI ZUMA! Thorn Over Server - Van Darli Zuma!" Sergey shouted as fiend with light skin and blue hair that was imprisoned in thorny vines appeared.
Thorn Over Server - Van Darli Zuma (0/0) LVL:8
"...0 ATK..." Yugo said in confusion.
"Van Darli Zuma's effect! This card gains ATK equal to double the difference between my life points and 2500!" Sergey explained with a sinister grin.
"You have 400life points...and the difference would be 2100...so that means...!" Yugo realized in horror.
"My monster's ATK becomes 4200!"
Van Darli Zuma (0/0)-(4200/0)
"IT'S NOT OVER!" Sergey shouted loudly.
"What? There's more?" Yugo said with a worried tone.
"Van Darli Zuma's other effect! By paying 100 life points..."
SERGEY: 400-300 LP
Van Darli Zuma (4200/0)-(4400/0)
"I can target a monster on your field and it's ATK becomes 100!" Sergey shouted maniacally as a prison of thorny vines surrounded the Speedroid.
Makendama (2200/1600)-(100/1600)
"No way...that means...!" Yugo uttered as he realized he was about to lose.
"BEAUTIFUL! YOU'RE EXPRESSION IS BEAUTIFUL!" Sergey shouted before laughing like a maniac.
"...Damn it..."
"Thorn Over Server - Van Darli Zuma, attack Speedroid Makendama...AND BEAUTIFULLY END THIS DUEL!" Sergey shouted at the top of his lungs. The monster launched a gear-like thorny vine at the Speedroid.
"No...!" Yugo angrily said. He clenched his fist and jumped up into the air, grabbing a card off of the floating platform as the Fusion's attack was about to hit the Synchro machine.
"Eh?" Sergey let out.
"Action Spell, Over Sword! Makendama gains 500 ATK! Trap Activate! Synchro Endurance! My monster isn't destroyed!" Yugo shouted as the chain of effects activated.
Makendama (100/1600)-(600/1600)
"BUT YOU STILL TAKE THE DAMAGE!"
The attack clashed against the machine before bouncing off it and hitting Yugo directly in the stomach. Yugo was sent through the air as blood spat out of his mouth.
"GAAAAHH!"
YUGO: 4000-200 LP
Yugo coughed out blood as he got up, grasping his stomach. He was in so much pain, it was almost unbearable. He felt like he was going to die any minute.
"HAHAHA! The way you continue to fight is beautiful! BEAUTIFUL!"
"...I...won't...die just yet...!" Yugo said, struggling to get up. "The effect of Speedroid OMK Gum...in my hand activates! Since I took damage...I can special summon it...!"
Speedroid OMK Gum (0/800) LVL:1
"Eh?"
"Speedroid OMK Gum's...other effect! Since this card was special summoned...I can immediately perform a Synchro Summon...!" Yugo said through the pain.
"What?!" Sergey shouted.
"I tune my level 1 OMK Gum to...my level 6 Makendama! White dragon with shinning wings! Smash through our enemies and soar through the battlefield at the speed of light! SYNCHRO SUMMOM! Come Forth! Level 7! Clear Wing Fast Dragon!" Yugo yelled as his Synchro Pendulum monster flew through the air before flying beside it's owner.
Clear Wing Fast Dragon (2500/2000) LVL:7
"OMK Gum's other effect...I can draw a card and then it's sent to the graveyard. If it was a Speedroid monster...Fast Dragon gains it's ATK!" Yugo shouted as he placed his hand over his deck before drawing the card. "...it's the monster Speedroid Shave Boomerang! This card's ATK was 2000, so Clear Wing Fast Dragon gains that amount!"
Fast Dragon (2500/2000)-(4500/2000)
"BEAUTIFUL, BUT FUTILE! Quick Play Spell, Thorn Assault! By paying halve of my life points..."
SERGEY: 300-150 LP
"...I can target a Thorn monster and it can attack once more!" Sergey shouted like a mad man.
"But my monster has more attack!" Yugo shouted.
"Have you forgotten?! Van Darli Zuma gains more ATK since my life points went down!"
Van Darli Zuma (4400/0)-(4700/0)
"HAHAHA! THIS DUEL WILL END BEAUTIFULLY! GO, THORN OVER SERVER - VAN DARLI ZUMA! ATTACK CLEAR WING FAST DRAGON!" Sergey roared as his monster launched another razor vine at the white and green dragon.
"...You've lost! Clear Wing Fast Dragon's effect! Once during either player's turn, I can target a monster and it's ATK becomes 0 and it's effects are negated! Now your monster loses all of it's ATK!" Yugo shouted as his dragon's crystal wings began to glow.
"WHAT?!"
"Go...DISTORTION MIRROR!" Yugo shouted as he raised his fist up in the air. The dragon shot a blue light from it's wings that wrapped around the plant, draining it until it went limp.
Van Darli Zuma (4700/0)-(0/0)
"End this...Clear Wing Fast Dragon! Counterattack! RAPID...SKYDROP CHARGE!" The dragon flew up towards the sky as it's wings began to glow light blue. Dragon dove down and towards the monster while surrounding itself with light blue energy as it flew through the air. The dragon drove through the Fiend, causing a huge explosion that enveloped the cyborg.
"HAHAHA! BEAUTIFUL!" The man shouted before the explosion got to him.
"I...did...it..." Yugo uttered with a relieved tone. But as the smoke dissipated, he saw the man standing there, with torn up clothing and a extremely red glowing eye. He also had electricity running through his body.
"...You think you've won...?" The man uttered in a monotone voice.
"...WHAT?! How the HELL did you survive?!" Yugo shouted in disbelief.
"...I activated the effect of Earthbound Dark Guard in my hand."
"What?! Earthbound?!" Yugo said shocked at the change of cards.
"When a Synchro or Fusion monster I control battles a monster that's ATK is greater than its own by 2000 or more, I gain life points equal to the ATK of a Synchro or Fusion monster on the field!"
SERGEY: 150-4650-150 LP
"My turn is over." The now emotionless man said.
'This guy is crazy...he was calm...then he was insane...and now he's emotionless...and he used a new archetype...but it doesn't matter. He has no cards on his field or in his hand.' Yugo thought to himself. "My turn! Battle! Clear Wing Fast Dragon, DIRECT ATTACK! RAPID SKYDROP CHARGE!"
"I banish Thorn Wall in my graveyard while I have 4 or more Thorn monsters in my graveyard to negate the attack." The Duelist Crusher countered.
"EH?!" Yugo shouted in awe.
"You haven't won just yet." Sergey said.
"Grr...I set a card face down, turn end." Yugo concluded angrily. He was pissed at the fact that he couldn't end the duel and help his friends. He just prayed that Serena and Yuzu were ok.
"Sir! We managed to regain control of the duelist crusher with the electric circuits. He is beginning to use the new cards you gave him." The man told his superior.
"Excellent." Roget said with a pleased smile.
"What should we do about the witch?" The female asked.
"Let her go all out, but reign her in if she is about to kill one of them. We need them alive." Roget answered.
"Yes sir."
As the dark aura surrounded the Witch, Yuzu and Serena looked in horror.
"PREPARE TO LOSE! Equip Spell, Thorns of Punishment activate! Black Rose gains 600 ATK!" The Witch shouted as her dragon extended black and red thorny vines out from it's body.
Black Rose (2400/2000)-(3000/2000)
"The dragon is stronger than our monsters!" Yuzu yelled.
"BATTLE! Black Rose Blooming Dragon, attack Panther Dancer! DEMOLITION ROSE WHIP!" The Witch cried as the dragon unleashed it's new attack which was raising it's vines up in the air before slamming them down on the Fusion.
SERENA: 1900-1700 LP
"Ngh...!" Serena let out from the shockwave.
"I'm not done! Thorns of Punishments's effect! When the equipped would destroy a monster, it's automatically banished and you take 200 damage times it's level!"
"What?!" Serena shouted.
"Go, Black Rose!" The masked woman commanded as her monster smacked Serena with it's vine, sending her flying through the air. Since Serena had no time to react, she wasn't able to guard herself and was injured greatly.
"GAAAAHHH!"
SERENA: 1700-100 LP
"Serena!" Yuzu shouted as her friend hit the ground, seemingly losing consciousness.
"Thorn of Punishment's effect let's it attack twice per turn while Black Rose is the only monster on my field, but the second attack can't be a direct attack." The Witch explained.
"What?!"
"Go, Black Rose! Attack Prodigy Mozart! DEMOLITION ROSE WHIP!" The witch shouted while pointing at Yuzu's Monster.
"Metronome's Pendulum Effect! When a Melodious monster is attacked while I have at least 1000 less life points than my opponent, I gain Life equal to halve of my monster's original ATK!" Yuzu shouted. The dragon's thorn vines drove through the Pendulum monster and hit Yuzu, knocking her several feet back through the air.
YUZU: 800-2100-1700
"My spell's effect automatically banished your monster you take 200 damage times it's level! TAKE THIS!" The Witch shouted with a voice full of rage as her dragon's vines smacked Yuzu across the field next to Serena. But she luckily braced herself so she wasn't as injured as Serena.
YUZU: 1700-100 LP
"My turn is over. You both only have 100 life left. Now take your last pathetic turns before I end you." The Witch said with a cold tone.
"Serena...are you ok...?" Yuzu asked as she weakly shook her look alike.
"...Yeah...I...can still...fight..." Serena said as she weakly got up.
"We can't...give up...!" Yuzu said as she raised her duel disks.
"That's...right..." Serena said. She lifted up her duel disk and placed her hand on her deck. "My turn-"
"Serena!" Yuzu shouted as the girl fell to the ground from the pain before she could draw. She rushed over as fast as she could, but the girl was out cold.
"I guess your friend was too weak to continue. Are you the same as her?" The Witch coldly asked.
"No..." Yuzu said as her knees shook. What was she going to do now?
"My turn." The duelist crusher said in a monotone voice. "I activate the spell card Thorn Draw. For every Thorn monster I banish, I draw a card plus one. I banish my 4 monsters to draw 5 cards."
"This isn't good..." Yugo said to himself.
"I activate the Field Spell, Earthbound Prison." Sergey said as multiple hands appeared from the ground.
"What?!"
"As long as this Field Spell is active, I can special summon Earthbound Prisoner - Stone Sweeper." The man shouted as a black entity that was shaped like a whale appeared with cyan lines running through it and a shackle on it's tail.
Earthbound Prisoner - Stone Sweeper (1600/1600) LVL:5
"Next, I summon the Tuner monster, Earthbound Prisoner - Line Walker." Sergey said as a black entity with two large arms that had shackles on it's wrists and orange lines running through it.
Earthbound Prisoner - Line Walker (800/1100) LVL:3
"So you're going for another Synchro Summon?" Yugo asked.
"I activate the spell card Underworld Harmonics - Synchro Fusion. This card lets me simultaneously use my two monsters as material for a Fusion Summon and a Synchro Summon." Sergey explained was his red eye glowed. The two monsters then split into two clones of themselves.
"What?! A Fusion and a Synchro?!"
"I fuse Line Walker and Stone Sweeper! Prisoner that crawls across the earth. Become one with the prisoner that walks the path of execution, and become a gigantic beast that delivers out punishment! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Level 8! Earthbound Servant - Geo Kraken!" Sergey shouted as a black entity that was shaped like a Kraken appeared with bright purple lights running through it.
Earthbound Servant - Geo Kraken (2800/1200) LVL:8
"I tune my level 3 Line Walker to my level 5 Stone Sweeper! Revive from the depths of the earth. Gigantic beast with wings of punishment! Synchro Summon! Appear! Level 8! Earthbound Servant - Geo Gryphon!" Sergey shouted as a black entity in the shape of a winged beast appeared with bright yellow lines running through it.
Earthbound Servant - Geo Gryphon (2500/1500) LVL:8
'Those monsters look tough...but Fast Dragon's effect will defeat them!' Yugo thought to himself as he looked as his Pendulum/Synchro monster.
"I activate the effect of Line Walker in my graveyard! By banishing it, I can make your Clear Wing be treated as being special summoned this turn." Sergey explained.
"Why would you do that?"
"Geo Kraken's effect activates! All monsters that my opponent special summoned this turn are destroyed and then my opponent takes 800 damage for each one!" Sergey explained as his monster shot purple electricity from it's tentacles.
"Not so fast! Clear Wing Fast Dragon's effect! I target your monster and it has it's effects negated and it's ATK reduced to 0!"
"Earthbound Prison's effect. Effects that change ATK are negated."
"What?!"
"Now take 800 Damage and lose!" Sergey shouted as the electricity shot forwards at Yugo's monster.
"Grr...Trap Activate! Speed Healing! When I would take damage, I can banish a Speedroid Synchro monster and I gain life points equal to halve of it's ATK! I banish Makendama!" Yugo shouted as he was covered in a green aura before his dragon was destroyed and he was sent flying backwards.
YUGO: 200-1300-500 LP
"...When Clear Wing Fast Dragon...is destroyed...I can place it in...a Pendulum Zone..."
Fast Dragon 4 -
"Battle. Geo Gryphon, Direct Attack!" Sergey commanded as the black and yellow beast launched a powerful yellow blast at the teen.
"Speedroid Menkoat's effect in my hand activates when my opponent declares an attack! I can special summon it and your monsters are switched to defense mode!" Yugo countered.
Speedroid Menkoat (100/2000) LVL:4
Geo Kraken (2800/1200)-(2800/1200)
Geo Gryphon (2500/1500)-(2500/1500)
"I set 1 card face down, turn end." Sergey concluded.
'Damn it...Yuzu...Serena...I have to end this now!' Yugo thought to himself as he grunted. "My turn...DRAW! I activate the spell Hidden Shot! I banish a Speedroid to destroy a card in your field!"
"And which card will it be? Geo Kraken or Geo Gryphon?" Sergey asked the Synchro duelist.
"I need to raise my monster's ATK...so I choose Earthbound Prison!" Yugo shouted as the field spell bursted.
"...Earthbound Prison's effect. When this card is destroyed, the player that destroyed it had all of their monster's effects negated and their life points are halved!" Sergey shouted as black electricity zapped Yugo causing his to scream in pain.
YUGO: 500-250 LP
"...I summon the Tuner monster, Speedroid Road Switcher!" Yugo shouted as a Speedroid in the shape of a car appeared.
Speedroid Road Switcher (500/1000) LVL:3
"I tune my level 3 Road Switcher to my level 4 Menkoat! Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings and strike down our enemies at light speed! SYNCHRO SUMMON! Come forth! Level 7! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" Yugo shouted as his ace appeared.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (2500/2000) LVL:7
"Road Switcher's effect! When this card is used as Synchro material for a Synchro Summon, for every Speedroid monsters used as Synchro Material, I can switch the battle positions of a monster on your field! I switch both of your monsters to ATK mode!" Yugo shouted as the spirit of his monster raced around the two Earthbound monsters.
Geo Kraken (2800/1200)-(2800/1200)
Geo Gryphon (2500/1500)-(2500/1500)
"Why would you do that?" Sergey asked.
"When a monster is special summoned to my field, I can special summon Speedroid 5-6-Plane to my field!" Yugo shouted as the red and yellow toy like plane appeared.
Speedroid 5-6-Plane (1800/0) LVL:5
"And when my monster is special summoned, lowers your monster's ATK by 600! But Clear Wing's effect! When a Level 5 or higher monster is targeted by an effect I can negate and destroy that effect and then Clear Wing gains 5-6-Plane's ATK! Dichroic Mirror!" Yugo shouted as his dragon powered up.
Clear Wing (2500/2000)-(4300/2000)
"This is the end! BATTLE! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, attack Earthbound Servant - Geo Kraken! WHIRLWIND HELLDIVE SLASHER!" Yugo shouted. His dragon roared as it's wings glowed green. The dragon flew up into the air and flew down towards the Fusion monster.
"Trap Activate! Earthbound Rotate! I switch the attack target to Geo Gryphon!" Sergey shouted as his Synchro monster jumped in front of the attack.
"You still lose!" Yugo shouted.
"I banish Earthbound Prisoner - Dark Guardian to reduce the damage to 0!" Sergey countered as a black barrier protected him while his Synchro monster was destroyed.
"Damn it!" Yugo angrily shouted.
"Next is Geo Gryphon's effect. When this card or another Earthbound monster is destroyed, I can target a monster on your field and it's destroyed!" Sergey exclaimed as the ghost of the beast appeared on his field.
"So you switched the target of the attack to Geo Gryphon since Clear Wing would've negated it's effect if it was on the field!" Yugo realized with a horrified expression.
"Clear Wing Synchro Dragon is destroyed!" Sergey shouted as the yellow and black beast flew through Clear Wing, destroying it and causing a big explosion.
"CLEAR WING!" Yugo shouted in anger and sadness as he saw his ace get destroyed.
"There's no hope for you."
"...I'm sorry everyone...Turn End..." Yugo said in sadness.
"SERENA!" Yuzu shouted causing Yugo to turn around. He watched as Yuzu shook the girl from the Fusion Dimension who had just fallen unconscious from the pain.
"...I'm going to lose..." Yugo uttered. He swore he would protect his friends, and he couldn't. He let Yuto, Yuya, and everyone else down. He didn't protect Yuzu and Serena. He failed Rin.
He was a failure.
'Rin...I'm sorry...'
"My turn. Battle-!"
Suddenly a black D-Wheel with two people on it flew through the air and landed in between the two duels. The man on the D-Wheel held up a card before slapping it on his duel disk.
"Darkened dragon, spread your pitch-black wings of hope and soar through the sky! Soar, Black-Feather Dark Storm Dragon!" The man shouted as the black winged dragon appeared. The dragon roared as it flapped it's wings, creating a powerful wind storm that felt like a Hurricane before the Fusion monster could attack. All of the duelist braced themselves from the powerful winds, which distracted them greatly. The wind was so powerful, it was even hard to see.
"What...?!" Yugo said in shock.
The man drive over to the two girls and stopped next to them as the teen on the back jumped off.
"Yu...ya...! Yuya!" Yuzu weakly shouted as she hugged the boy.
"Yuzu! I missed you so much! But we have to get out of here first. Help me get Serena on the D-Wheel." Yuya told the girl who nodded and put the unconscious girl on the D-Wheel, being the man.
"What now?" Yuzu asked.
"You're too weak to run. Get on behind Serena and Crow will get you out of here." Yuya told the girl.
"But what about Yugo and you?!"
"Don't worry, I'll get us out of here."
"But-"
"We are running out of time!" Crow shouted at the two teens.
"Black Rose, take out this storm!" The Witch commanded as her dragon tried to attack Crow's dragon.
"Yuya, you better come back to me." Yuzu told the boy. She kissed him which made him blush and sat on the D-Wheel behind Serena.
"Good luck, kid!" Crow shouted before driving off as his dragon began to disappear.
"You think this wind will stop me? Finish him off already, Geo Kraken." Sergey shouted as his monster launched purple electricity at Yugo.
Yuya quickly ran over and jumped from platform to platform, grabbing a Action Card. He kept running and jumping until he landed on the one above Yugo. He then activated his duel disk...
INTRUSION PENALTY: 2000 LIFE POINTS
YUYA: 4000-2000 LP
"Action Spell, Evasion! The attack is negated!" Yuya shouted after taking the electricity. He grabbed the back of Yugo's jacket and pulled him up on to his platform, dodging the attack.
"Y-Yuya...?!" Yugo said in shock.
"C'mon! We have to go!" Yuya shouted while pointing at the roof top.
"Right..." Yugo weakly said. Yuya grabbed Yugo's jacket, helping him quickly jump up towards the roof. Once they got to the top, the wings completely subsided and the two duelist could clearly see Yuya and Yugo. Yuya panicked and quickly helped Yugo onto the roof.
"Yugo, go now! I'm right behind you!" Yuya shouted at his look a like, who was to weak to argue.
"Fine...but you better make it out!" Yugo shouted as he began to run off.
"Black Rose, don't let them escape!" The Witch shouted as it launched it's thorny vines at Yuya.
"GAAAHHH!" Yuya shouted as the vines wrapped around his ankle, causing it to bleed and prevented him from moving
"Go, Geo Kraken! Take him out!" Sergey shouted as his monster shot a powerful blast of purple electricity at Yuya.
Yuya closed his eyes. And when he opened them up, they were glowing red.
Without saying word, Yuya held up two card that were glowing dark blue and cyan.
Odd Eyes Rebellion and Odd Eyes Wing appeared and protected Yuya. The dragons roared loudly and released a powerful shockwave of energy that caused the battlefield to be covered in a bright light.
When the Black Rose Witch and the Duelist Crusher opened their eyes, the platforms were gone and Yuya and his dragons were no where to be seen...
"Sir! They all got away!" The male head scientist shouted.
"Should we have Sergey and the Black Rose Witch go after them?" The female heAd scientist asked.
"...No. I have seen exactly what I wanted to. They will lead us to there remaining allies and we'll capture them." Roget said as he held a pawn from chess in his hand.
Everything was going according to plan...
Hey everyone! Sorry it's been over a week since I posted. I went on my final vacation of the summer and I've been getting ready for high school. Thanks for all the reviews and if you haven't already, follow, favorite, and review this story! Thanks!
So, the Black Rose Witch/Aki and Sergey have shown up. This chapter was very fun to write and I hope you all were ok with the way Serena found Yugo and Yuzu because I wasn't sure if it was good enough. I'm sorry for everyone that wanted the main cast to win, but then the duels later on wouldn't be as meaningful. Sergey is mostly the same character as in the anime, I don't intend on giving him redemption or anything. He's kinda a psychopath, but I love writing his Earthbound deck(which is why I concluded his earthbound cards in his thorn deck). Across the Yugioh Arc V Fanfics I've read, Aki has been a wide variety of character roles, such as Duel Queen, Black Rose Witch, or just herself. But in all of them she has Psychic Duelist powers which I intend on to keep in my story.
Also, I hope you don't mind that I made Yuya the hero again. I just really wanted to do the scene where Yuya uses his powers.
Onto the duels. With Yuzu and Serena vs Akiza, I hope you don't mind that the two formers got bodied by the Synchro duelist. In this duel, I tried having Akiza only use her ace, Black Rose Blooming Dragon. I know it's not the best name but I blanked and it was the only name I could come up with. I have her ace some good effects so I hope you don't mind. Anyways, Akiza will summon monsters other than Black Rose. Serena and Yuzu getting beaten will motivate them more to get stronger, including Serena since she was actually knocked out.
With Yugo vs Sergey, I got sooo carried away writing that duel. I made it sorta like Yuzu vs Sergey from the anime where Sergey used Thorn monsters, but I wanted to throw in a few of his Earthbounds too, but not all of them. Sergey is like how he was in the anime, insane and loves pain. But in this duel, they were able to reign him in and control him after he broke free from his programming when he was trying to kill Yugo. I hope you enjoyed this duel. Sorry for having Yugo almost lose, but he needs to get stronger for sure if he wants to be the duel king, right?
Review Time!
Time Knight Leo: Thank you! The reason I made an alternate version of Zero End is because it only works with effect damage and I needed it to work with battle and effect damage. Thanks for the review!
Super Shadow 2018: Thanks for the reviews! I don't mind that they are late and I'm glad you took the time to write them. I like the idea of Yuto and Apocalypse communicating, which will come later on.
Ktsparks: Thanks dude! I actually can't wait to write Aster/Edo since I want to incorporate some of the older D-Hero's along with the Arc V ones.
Unknownedz: Yeah, SKSD Starve Venom was OP as hell. I didn't even realize I could use Starve Venom's effect to copy Independent Nightingale until I was in the moment and remembered. Thanks for the review!
Sage the Hedgehog: Thanks man! I had a lot of fun writing Yuya vs Crow because there was so much potential for a great duel. Thanks for the review!
Preview: Things aren't looking good! After the Lancers heal up from their brawl against the Duelist Crusher and the Black Rose Witch, Security surrounds their current hide out! Will Yuya be able to protect his weakened friends? Find out next on Yugioh Arc V Altered Destiny! The fun has just begun!
