Crow and Yuya were walking back to the cell they were staying in while talking and laughing. They two had actually grown pretty close since they've known each other.

"So, how's it going with Yuzu?" Crow teased.

"What do you mean?" Yuya tried to play dumb.

"Well, I mean your relationship."

"W-WE AREN'T IN A RELATIONSHIP!" Yuya shouted with a blush.

"Please. I saw you two back at my house. You care about each other a lot. And don't think I didn't see you two kiss when you and I rescued her, Yugo and Serena." Crow reminded.

"Y-You saw that?!"

"Yup. Honestly, you two seem perfect for each other." Crow said.

"...Thanks...but honestly...I feel like we are cursed..." Yuya uttered.

"Cursed?" Crow repeated.

"It's just...we constantly get separated...and I feel like I can't protect her..."

"Don't worry, kid. We'll find her. And with Shinji's plan, we are definitely getting out of here!" Crow cheerfully said.

"Yeah...I hope so..." Yuya said.

"Hey Crow!" A man with darker skin and pink hair said.

"Hey, Damon." Crow waves to his friend before turning to Yuya. "This guy is one of our friends who were wrongfully accused of a crime he didn't do and was arrested."

"How horrible..." Yuya uttered.

"I can wait to get out of here!" Damon shouted.

"Yeah." Crow agreed. The the three then walked into their cell where Shinji was waiting with Sawatari and Dennis.

"Late as always." Sawatari scoffed.

"Sawatari? Dennis? What are you doing here?" Yuya asked.

"We are going to be playing a very important part in the plan!" Sawatari proudly said.

"We will be providing a distraction with our entertainment dueling!" Dennis exclaimed.

"A distraction?" Yuya asked.

"That is correct." Shinji said. "I told Tokumatsu about a...battle royal? and he said it was a great idea."

"A Battle Royal?" Yuya asked.

"You, Dennis, Sawatari, and Tokumatsu are going to duel in a battle royale to cause a distraction that way we can all escape." Shinji said.

"How are us 4 going to escape?" Yuya asked.

"Tokumatsu said he had that part covered." Shinji told him.

"So Tokumatsu is escaping with us?" Crow asked.

"Yeah, we need him help and he wants freedom. He's not a bad person, so it should be fine." Shinji answered.

"Alright then, let's do this!" Yuya shouted.

Later

On a big stage in the cafeteria, Tokumatsu, Sawatari, Dennis, and Yuya stood on opposite ends of the stage, each looking determined.

"Alright, everyone! Are you ready to watch the greatest entertainment duel ever?!" Yuya shouted causing everyone to cheer.

"ENJOY!" Tokumatsu shouted.

"ENJOY!" The crowd cheered.

"This duel will be an action duel!" Dennis shouted as he activated his duel disk.

FIELD SPELL: CROSS OVER

Suddenly, blue platforms appeared over the 4 duelists.

"Woah!" The crowd shouted in awe.

"In an action duel, players can find Action Cards to help them achieve victory!" Sawatari explained.

"Cool!"

"Wow!"

"Let's go! Let's have the crowd enjoy themselves!" Tokumatsu shouted, activating his duel disk.

"Let's perform a spectacle that will leave them mesmerized!" Dennis shouted, activating his duel disk.

"Watch out, because I'm going to blow you all away with my moves! I'll show why I'm the star of the show!" Sawatari shouted, activating his own duel disk.

"Alright! The fun has just begun!" Yuya shouted with a big smile, activating his duel disk.

"Duelist locked in battle!" Sawatari shouted.

"Kicking against the earth and dancing through the air alongside their monsters!" Dennis shouted.

"This is the newest and greatest evolution of dueling!" Yuya shouted.

"ACTION-"

"DUEL!"

SAWATARI: 4000 LP vs TOKUMATSU: 4000 LP vs DENNIS: 4000 LP vs YUYA: 4000 LP

"I will start this duel off!" Sawatari declared to his opponents and the crowd. "With the Scale 1 Abyss Actor Devil Heel and the Scale 8 Abyss Actor Funky Comedian, I set the Pendulum Scale!"

Devil Heel 1 - 8 Funky Comedian

"With this, I can simultaneously summon monsters with levels 2 through 7 all at the same time! Pendulum Summon! Come to the stage! The star of the show, Abyss Actor Big Star! And Abyss Actor Sassy Rookie!" Sawatari shouted as his ace appeared.

Abyss Actor Big Star (2500/1800) LVL: 7

Abyss Actor Sassy Rookie (1700/1000) LVL: 4

"Big Star's effect! I add Abyss Script Opening Ceremony and then I'll activate it! I gain 500 life points for each of my Abyss Actors on my field! Let the light show begin!" Sawatari shouted as fireworks appeared in the air causing the crowd to look in awe.

SAWATARI: 4000-5000 LP

"Alright! My turn is finished." Sawatari concluded.

"It's my turn then! ENJOY!" Tokumatsu shouted before making his move.

"ENJOY!" The crowd repeated.

"I activate the spell card Super Come on Come On! I draw 3 cards and I can special summon any Cardians out of those cards!" Tokumatsu explained.

"But you'll take 1000 points of damage for any card that isn't a Cardian!" Sawatari shouted as he remembered the card from Tokumatsu's duel with Yuya.

"That doesn't matter! I'm going to enjoy this duel!" Tokumatsu shouted with a smirk.

"Come on! Come on!" The crowd chanted.

"Come on! Come on! The first card is Cardian - Hagi ni Inoshishi!"

Cardian - Hagi ni Inoshishi (1000/1000) LVL: 7

"The second draw! Cardian - Momiji ni Shika! And the final one!"

Cardian - Momiji ni Shika(1000/1000) LVL: 10

"The third and final draw! ENJOY!" Tokumatsu shouted before drawing and revealing his card to the crowd. "The tuner monster, Cardian - Botan ni Chou!"

Cardian - Botan ni Chou (1000/1000) LVL: 6

"His draws are as strong as ever!" Crow commented.

"Due to my spell's effect, my monster's ATKs become 0 and their levels become 2!"

Hagi ni Inoshishi (1000/1000)-(0/1000) LVL: 7-2

Momiji ni Shika(1000/1000)-(0/1000) LVL: 10-2

Botan ni Chou (1000/1000)-(0/1000) LVL: 6-2

"Now, I tune my level 2 Botan ni Chou to my level 2 Hagi no Inoshishi and level 2 Momiji ni Shika! As ferocious as an boar! As galant as a deer! As beautiful as a butterfly! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 6! Cardian - Ino-Shika-Cho!" Tokumatsu shouted as a warrior in green and yellow armor appeared.

Cardian - Ino-Shika-Cho (2000/2000) LVL:6

"Next, I'll activate the Equip spell card Deadly Petal Sword Dance!" Tokumatsu explained as pink petals stormed around his monster, causing a beautiful spectacle.

"Wow! That's so amazing!" An inmate shouted from the crowd.

"That concludes my turn." Tokumatsu concluded.

"Alright! It's my move!" Dennis declared. "I start off by summoning Entermage Trick Clown!"

Entermage Trick Clown (1600/1200) LVL:4

"Let's go! I'll show you the fun of Action Duels!" Dennis jumped up onto several platforms and grabbed a card.

"Wow, he's so quick!" An inmate shouted.

"Action Spell, Fire Force! Now each player takes 500 damage!" Dennis explained as a colorful ball of fire was shot straight up into the air before splitting into four separate colorful balls of fire that sped towards the duelists. This created a beautiful spectacle.

"So pretty!" An inmate shouted.

"But then I'll activate the effect of Entermage Flame Eater! I can change an instance of effect damage to 0 that any player would take! Then, I can special summon this card!" Dennis explained as the fire balls turned into beautiful particles of light.

Entermage Flame Eater (1200/1600) LVL:4

"Amazing!" Multiple voices cheered.

"Using an Action Card like that...!" Yuya said in awe. He had never thought about using an Action Card to trigger an effect like that.

"Two level 4s..." Gongenzaka trailed off.

"He's gonna Xyz Summon." Hokuto shouted.

"Alright everyone! Are you ready to see something you've never seen before?" Dennis asked the crowd, getting their attention.

"YEAH!"

"Then I'll show you! I overlay my level 4 Entermage Flame Eater and Trick Clown! With these two monsters, I build the overlay network!" Dennis shouted as his two monsters turned into energy and flew into the overlay network.

"Overlay?"

"The show must go on! Aritisan of the air! Swing across the stage with your grace! Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 4! Entermage Trapeze Magician!" Dennis shouted as the Magician appeared and swung down picking up Dennis on the platform he was on and swung through the air.

Entermage Trapeze Magician (2500/2000) RNK:4 OVU:2

"Xyz Summon?!"

"Amazing!"

"So cool!"

Dennis' ace let go of him causing Dennis to do a flip mid air and land on the stage in front of the audience. This made them go crazy.

"WOOOHOO!"

"Thank you! Thank you!" Dennis excepted the praise.

"Not bad." Sawatari admitted.

"Alright! My turn is finished! Take it away, Yuya!" Dennis winked at the boy.

"Right! My Turn!" Yuya stammered as he drew. He looked at his hand. "I activate the spell card Graceful Charity! I draw 3 cards! Then, I discard 2! Next, I summon Entermate Discover Hippo!"

Entermate Discover Hippo (800/800) LVL:3

"I set 1 card facedown, turn end." Yuya concluded.

"Eh?! That's it?!" Sawatari shouted. "Why aren't you trying, Yuya?!"

"What? Just wait and see!" Yuya shouted at the boy.

"I won't let you get the chance! My turn!" Sawatari shouted as he drew. "Perfect. I activate Funky Comedian's Pendulum Effect! I send Big Star to my extra deck to let Sassy Rookie gain his ATK!"

Sassy Rookie (1700/1000)-(4200/1000)

"4200 ATK..." Yuya uttered nervously.

"Now, with the set scale, Pendulum Summon! Come to the stage, from my hand, Abyss Actor Wild Hope! And from my extra deck, Abyss Actor Big Star!" Sawatari shouted as a cowboy-like monster and his ace appeared.

Abyss Actor Wild Hope (1600/1200) LVL: 4

Abyss Actor Big Star (2500/1800) LVL: 7

"Next is Big Star's effect! I add an Abyss Script to my hand! I add Abyss Script Fire Dragon's Lair and then I activate it! I can target an Abyss Actor on my field and when the target destroys a monster, 3 cards are banished from the owner of the destroyed monster's extra deck! It's time for a wardrobe change!" Sawatari exclaimed with a smirk.

"What?!" Yuya shouted in shock.

"That's quite an effect!" Dennis shouted with a nervous smile.

"I target Big Star!" Sawatari explained as his monster gained blue Knight armor and a red cape. "Now, it's time to battle! Big Star, you know what to do! Attack that Hippo!"

"Quick Play Spell, Hippo Carnival activate! This card lets me special summon three Hippo Tokens to my field!" Yuya countered as three dancing hippo appeared in front of Discover Hippo.

Hippo Tokens x3 (0/0) LVL:1

"And while they are on the field, they are the only monsters on my field you can attack!" Yuya explained as his hippos danced.

"What a move!" An inmate cheered.

"Tch, fine then! Big Star, take out one of those Hippos!" Sawatari commanded his monster as it jumped into the air and kicked the token, causing it to burst.

"He destroyed a monster with Big Star...which means...!" Gongenzaka said in a worried tone.

"And since Big Star destroyed your monster, three cards in your extra deck are banished!!" Sawatari exclaimed as the spirits of Odd Eyes Absolute Dragon, Odd Eyes Meteorburst Dragon, and Rune Eyes Pendulum Dragon appeared on Yuya's field before dissolving into particles of light

"My dragons...!" Yuya shouted in disbelief.

"Sawatari's got some game." Roy admitted.

'With out Absolute, I can't summon Odd Eyes Rebellion with it's effects...and without Meteorburst, I have no chance of summoning Odd Eyes Wing. And in a duel like this...Rune Eyes would have been really useful...' Yuya thought to himself as sweat formed on his face.

"Haha! I'm not done yet! Sassy Rookie, go on and take out Trapeze Magician!" Sawatari shouted as his purple fiend charged towards the magician.

"Eh?! Going after me now?!" Dennis exclaimed. He shook off his expression and jumped up onto a plat form and grabbed onto a platform above him. He thrusted his legs forward, swigging off the platform and onto another with an Action Card on it.

"Amazing!"

"He's quick!"

"Action Spell, Tenacity! Since I only control one monster, my monster isn't destroyed!" Dennis countered as his magician was knocked back by the kick, but remained on the field.

DENNIS: 4000-2300 LP

"Tch...in that case, Wild Hope, attack Ino-Shika-Cho!" Sawatari shouted as his monster aimed it's blue and yellow pistol at the warrior.

"What? It has less ATK!" Tokumatsu shouted.

"Big Star! A little help!" Sawatari shouted out to his monster who nodded back to him. The monster held both of it's hands out in front of his and Sawatari ran towards his monster.

"What is he doing?" Tokumatsu asked in confusion.

Sawatari jumped up onto his monster's hand and his monster boosted him up towards the top of the room.

"EEEHHH?!" All of the inmates shouted.

Sawatari grabbed an Action Card from one of the platforms while still mid air. "Action Spell, Double Attack! My monster's ATK doubles!"

Wild Hope (1600/1200)-(3200/1200)

"So cool!"

"He's amazing!"

'I can't believe that worked...!' Sawatari thought to himself as he fell down into his ace monsters arms.

Tokumatsu smirked and ran to his right at incredible speed and jumped upwards, grabbing an Action Card off play form on the far end of the stage.

"I can do it too! Action Spell, Selection of Miracle! I can choose to either half the damage or negate destruction! I chose to negate destruction!" Tokumatsu shouted as the cowboy's blast hit his monster, causing a shockwave that caused Tokumatsu to brace himself.

TOKUMATSU: 4000-2800 LP

"Alright, that concludes my turn." Sawatari concluded as he and his monsters turned to the audience and bowed.

Sassy Rookie (4200/1000)-(1700/1000)

Wild Hope (3200/1200)-(1600/1200)

"WOOOHOOO!" The crowd roared.

"Sawatari really took center stage..." Dennis said with a nervous smile.

"You did a good job of making the crowd enjoy themselves. I'll keep the enjoyment going! ENJOY!" Tokumatsu shouted.

"ENJOY!"

"My turn! I activate the Equip Spell card Blossoming Blade! By equipping this card to Ino-Shika-Cho, my monster gains 300 ATK for each Cardian in my graveyard!" Tokumatsu exclaimed as a katana with a cover that had a flower pattern on it appeared in front of the warrior.

"You have 3 Cardians in your graveyard..." Sawatari nervously said.

"That's right, so Ino-Shika-Cho gains 900 ATK!" Tokumatsu shouted as his monster grabbed the katana.

Ino-Shika-Cho (2000/2000)-(2900/2000)

"Battle! Ino-Shika-Cho, attack Big Star!" Tokumatsu shouted as his monster took the cover off of the katana.

"This ain't good..." Sawatari muttered before jumping up onto a platform, searching for an Action Card.

"At this moment, my other Equip Spell, Deadly Petal Sword Dance's effect actuvates! When the equipped monsters declares an attack, I can discard a Cardian who's ATK is less than equipped monster's original ATK! Then, the equipped monster gain's half of the discarded monster's ATK!" Tokumatsu explained.

"What?!" Sawatari shouted in shock.

"I discard Cardian - Sakura ni Maku which has 2000 ATK...So my monster gains 1000 ATK! Also, since I sent another Cardian to the graveyard, Blossoming Sword's effect gives Ino-Shika-Cho 300 more ATK!"

Ino-Shika-Cho (2900/2000)-(4200/2000)

"Go Ino-Shika-Cho!" Tokumatsu shouted as his warrior slashed through the fiend, causing Sawatari to fall of his platform and onto the ground due to the shockwave.

SAWATARI: 5000-3300 LP

Tokumatsu jumped onto a platform and grabbed an Action Card above him.

"Action Spell, Wonder Chance! My monster can attack again! Attack Wild Hope and finish Sawatari off!" Tokumatsu shouted as his warrior charged at the cowboy.

"If this attack hits, Sawatari will take 3300 damage and lose!" Yugo realized.

"I won't go out so easily! Trap Activate! Abyss Actor Inheritance! When an opponent's monster declares an attack, I can target a Abyss Actor Pendulum monster in my extra deck that was destroyed this turn and all other Abyss Actors gain half of the targeted monster's ATK until my next standby phase!"

Sassy Rookie (1700/1000)-(2950/1000)

Wild Hope (1600/1200)-(2850/1200)

"Also, all monsters effected by my Trap can't be destroyed in battle!" Sawatari exclaimed.

"But you still take the damage!"

"More like half the damage! Action Spell, Half Out! The damage is halved!" Sawatari shouted as his monster wasn't destroyed due to his Trap's effect, but a shockwave hit him causing him to brace himself.

SAWATARI: 3300-2625 LP

"Tch, I set a card facedown, turn end." Tokumatsu concluded. "At this moment, Deadly Petal Sword Dance's effect ends."

Ino-Shika-Cho (4200/2000)-(3200/2000)

"Alright! It's time for Trapeze Magician to entertain the crowd! My turn!" Dennis shouted as he enthusiastically drew his card. As he gazed at the card, a huge smile appeared on his face. "Are you ready, everyone?!"

"YEAH!"

"Great! Let's get this started then! Trapeze Magician's effect activates! By using an overlay unit, my magician can make up to 2 attacks this turn!" Dennis shouted as his monsters absorbed an overlay unit.

OVU: 2-1

"Are you ready, Yuya? Battle! Trapeze Magician, attack one of his Hippo Tokens!" Dennis exclaimed as his magician swung through the air and rammed into the token, destroying it.

"Tch..." Yuya gritted his teeth.

"Time for the second attack! Go, Trapeze Magician! Attack the final Hippo Token!" Dennis exclaimed as his magician destroyed the last Hippo token.

"Now Yuya doesn't have any other Hippo Tokens..." Gongenzaka realized.

"But Dennis can't attack anymore...so what is he planning to do?" Roy asked.

"Alright! Now that you have no more Hippo Tokens, your defense has been broken! Now it's time for the real fun to begin!" Dennis shouted with a voice full or energy.

"I have a bad feeling..." Yuya gulped.

"Now it's time to use something I've been practicing! Feast your eyes on this!" Dennis shouted as he grabbed the card he drew earlier and held it up in the air for all to see. "Quick Play Spell, Rank Up Magic Performance Force!"

"R-Rank up Magic?!!" Yuya shouted in disbelief and shock. The only two people that could use such a method that he knew were Shun and Yuto who were from the Xyz Dimension.

"That's right! Pendulum monsters weren't the only thing that Reiji made for me! While I only control a Performage Xyz monster, I can target that monster to rank it up 1 rank higher!" Dennis explained as his monster turned into yellow energy and flew back into the overlay network.

"Since when can Dennis use such a move...?" Gongenzaka asked in shock.

"The show must go on! Oh magician of the sky, more magnificently, more vividly, run across the even greater stage! Rank Up Xyz Change! Come forth! Rank 5! Entermage Trapeze High Magician!" Dennis exclaimed as a magician with white and black clothing with a orange and green

Entermage Trapeze High Magician (2700/2200) RNK:5 OVU:2

"Amazing...!" Yuya uttered in amazement.

"Incredible!"

"What a move!"

"That monster looks awesome!"

"Thank you, everyone! Now, watch as Trapeze High Magician activates it's effect! By using an overlay unit, my monster can make up to three attacks! But it can only attack directly one time!" Dennis explained with a wide smile.

OVU: 2-1

"3 attacks?!" Yuya shouted in awe.

"Let's go! Trapeze High Magician, attack Discover Hippo!" Dennis was commanded his magician as the magician used it's staff as a trapeze and swung towards the Hippo. Dennis than grabbed on to the bottom of his magician and swung with him.

"Hippo!" Yuya shouted as the hippo turned around and Yuya jumped onto it's back. Yuya's Hippo raced away from the magician that was getting closer and closer. Yuya saw an Action Card and grabbed it. "Action Spell, Single Distraction! Since you only control one monster, this card destroys your monster! Say goodbye to your magician!"

"Not happening! During the turn Trapeze High Magician's effect is used, he can't be destroyed up to 3 times this turn!" Dennis countered.

"What?!" Yuya shouted in shock.

Dennis than spotted a Action Card and jumped off his magician and onto a platform, grabbing the card. "Oh! What a good card! It's the Action Spell Full Turn! The damage that a player would take during a battle with two monsters is doubled!"

"The normal damage Yuya would take is 1900..." Hokuto began.

"So the damage he'll take now is 3800!" Yaiba realized with a worried tone.

"No way!" Yuya yelled.

"Now take this!" Dennis shouted as the magician double kicked the Hippo, causing it to burst which sent Yuya flying off and onto the ground hard.

YUYA: 4000-200 LP

"That monster is amazing!"

"Woah!"

"He reduces his opponent's life from 4000 to 200 in one attack..." Roy trailed off in amazement.

"When you sent me flying...I manage to grab this...!" Yuya said with a smirk as he got up. "It's the Action Spell, Damage Draw! Since I took 2000 or more damage, I can draw 2 cards!"

"That won't matter! Direct Attack!" Dennis commanded his magician as it swung towards Yuya.

"I activate the effect of Entermate Ballon Barrier Tapir in my hand! By sending this card from my hand to the graveyard, I can reduce the damage I would take to 0!" Yuya shouted as a barrier appeared in front of him.

"Since, Trapeze High Magician can only make 1 direct attack, I'll have Trapeze High Magician attack Cardian - Ino-Shika-Cho!" Dennis shouted as his monster swung towards the warrior.

"What?!" Tokumatsu shouted.

Dennis swiftly moved through the action field and grabbed an Action Card right before the two monsters collided.

"Action Spell, Assault! Trapeze High Magician gains 600 ATK!" Dennis shouted with a smirk.

Trapeze High Magician (2700/2200)-(3300/2200)

"Trap Activate! Card Checker! During this turn, Cardian monster's can't be destroyed by battle!"

"But you still take the damage!"

TOKUMATSU: 2800-2700 LP

"This duel feels so intense!"

"Great job, Trapeze High Magician! I set two cards facedown and end my turn! Now, show the crowd a true performance, Yuya!" Dennis winked at his fellow lancer.

'They really have done a good job of entertaining the crowd so far and they are giving it all they got...' Yuya said with a nervous smile before his face shifted to a determined look. 'So I have to give it everything I got to make the crowd smile!'

"I wonder what will happen next!"

"This is so exciting!"

"...Ladies and Gentleman! Prepare to watch as I perform my entertainment dueling that will absolutely bring a smile to your faces! Prepare to be amazed!" Yuya shouted as he extended his hands out to the crowd.

"Yeah!"

"Alright then! My turn...DRAW!" Yuya shouted as he dramatically drew his card. "Alright! I activate the spell card Extra Draw! Since there are two monsters on your field that were originally summoned from the Extra Deck, I can draw 2 cards!"

"He's strengthening his hand..." Gongenzaka said

"Next, with the Scale 1 Entermate Monkeyboard and the Scale 8 Odd Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon, I set the Pendulum Scale!"

Entermate Monkeyboard 1 - 8 Odd Eyes Arc

"Monkeyboard's Pendulum Effect! Once per turn, I can add a level 4 or lower Entermate monster from my deck to my hand! And now with my set Pendulum Scale, I can simultaneously summon monsters with levels 2 through 7! Swing Pendulum of my Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters! Entermate Drop Gallop! Entermate Scroll Sorcerer!" Yuya shouted as a pink humanoid horse in blue clothing and a magician clad in blue and orange with brown hair appeared.

Entermate Drop Gallop (800/1200) LVL: 5

Entermate Scroll Sorcerer (1400/1200) LVL:3

"Now, Drop Gallop and Scroll Sorcerer's effect activates! Since Drop Gallop was Pendulum Summoned, I can draw cards equal to the amount of Entermate monsters that were Pendulum Summoned! So I draw 2 cards! Next, Scroll Sorcerer's effect activates! Since this card was Pendulum Summoned, I can add a Ritual Spell or monster from my deck to my hand!" Yuya shouted as his empty hand was now refilled with 3 new cards.

"Ritual?" One of the inmates uttered.

"Next, I'll play the spell card Entermate Magic Box!" Yuya shouted as a blue box with an orange question mark appeared.

"Huh?" Sawatari let out.

"With this card's effect, I can release an Entermate on my field and then I can look at the top 5 cards in my deck. And if one is an Entermate with the same level, I can special summon it! I'll set Drop Gallop into the box!" Yuya shouted as the monster went into the box. He checked the top 5 cards of his deck and smiled. "Alright! Among the top 5 cards of my deck was the level 5, Entermate Odd Eyes Light Phoenix!"

Entermate Odd Eyes Light Phoenix (2000/1000) LVL:5

"Alright everyone! Since you have been such an amazing audience, I'm going to show you all something magnificent!" Yuya shouted causing the crowd to become hyped. "So far during this duel, the summoning methods that have been used are Pendulum, Synchro, and Xyz! So it wouldn't be fair to not show you the final two summoning methods!"

"There are more?!"

"That's right! Here's the first one! I activate the spell card Pendulum Fusion! This card allows me to fuse the monsters in my Pendulum Zones in order to perform a Fusion Summon!" Yuya exclaimed as his two Pendulum monsters flew out of the blue columns and went into the Fusion vortex.

"A Fusion Summon from the Pendulum Zones..." Roy said in awe.

"I fuse Odd Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon and Entermate Monkeyboard! Dragon that creates the arc of light! Become one with the musical beast and bring the forth the most powerful storm! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Level 7! Odd Eyes Vortex Dragon!" Yuya shouted as the winged green fusion form of his dragon appeared.

Odd Eyes Vortex Dragon (2500/3000) LVL:7

"When Vortex Dragon is Fusion Summoned, it's effect activates! Now I can choose a monster on my opponent's field and it's sent back to the hand! And I chose to send back...Cardian - Ino-Shika-Cho! Vortex Gale!" Yuya shouted as his dragon created a strong wind that blew the warrior back into Tokumatsu's extra deck.

"What?!" Tokumatsu shouted as his field was now open.

"So cool!"

"Woah! Tokumatsu now has no more defense!"

"Next, I activate the Ritual Spell, Odd Eyes Advent!" Yuya shouted as an altar appeared in front of him, one side holding a red flame and the other side holding a black flame. "This card lets me perform a Ritual Summon by sacrificing Pendulum monsters on my field and in my hand! I sacrifice my level 5 Entermate Odd Eyes Light Phoenix and level 3 Entermate Scroll Sorcerer!"

"Ritual...?"

"So that's why he replaced Drop Gallop with Odd Eyes Light Phoenix which was a pendulum monster..." Gongenzaka realized.

"That's right. He needed Pendulum monsters to use Odd Eyes Advent so he swapped out Drop Gallop for a Pendulum monster. Quite impressive." Yuto admitted.

"Nice moves, Yuya!" Yugo cheered.

"Dragon born from the depths of the earth! Heed the call of the call of the ritual and break the chains that imprison you! Ritual Summon! Come forth! Level 7! Odd Eyes Gravity Dragon!" Yuya shouted as his blue and brown dragon appeared that had rock like armor with chains around it.

Odd Eyes Gravity Dragon (2800/2000) LVL:7

"Since Scroll Sorcerer was used for a Ritual, I draw a card! Next is Odd Eyes Gravity Dragon's effect! All of my opponent's spells and traps are sent back to their hands! Gravity Wave!" Yuya shouted as his dragon's eyes glowed while Dennis' facedown cards returned to his hand.

"Damn it..." Dennis muttered.

"This is the power of Ritual and Fusion!" Yuya shouted as each of his hands were extended out to a dragon. The two dragons roared in sync causing the crowd to go wild.

"So cool!"

"Amazing!"

"Alright! Battle! Odd Eyes Vortex Dragon, attack Trapeze High Magician!" Yuya shouted as his dragon jumped up into the air and flew up with it's wings.

Yuya jumped on his Ritual dragon that helped him look for an Action Card. Dennis saw this and began looking for an Action Card as well. Both boy's eyes then came across the same card and raced towards it.

"The Action Card will be mine!" Dennis shouted as he jumped through the platforms and was about to get the card before the platforms started to shake. Dennis looked and saw Odd Eyes Gravity Dragon's eyes glowing and the dragon used it's ability to shake the platform Dennis was standing on. This caused the boy to lose his balance which made him slow up.

"Wow!"

"Alright!" Yuya shouted as he jumped off of his dragon and grabbed the card. "Action Spell Power Gem! Odd Eyes Vortex Dragon gains 800 ATK!"

Odd Eyes Vortex (2500/3000)-(3300/3000)

"It's stronger than the magician!"

"Go, Vortex Dragon!" Yuya shouted as his monster flew towards the magician.

"Trapeze High Magician's effect! By using an overlay unit, his effect prevents him from being destroyed up to three times per turn!"

"Not happening! Odd Eyes Vortex's effect! Once per turn, by shuffling a Pendulum monster such as Entermate Scroll Sorcerer back into my deck, I can negate a monster, spell, or trap card's effect! Then that card is destroyed! Counter Storm!" Yuya shouted as his monster flapped it's wings, causing a storm of wings to consume the magician.

"There's way I'll let you take away my Magician! Action Spell, Runaway! The effect is negated and you take 500 points of damage!"

"Think again! Quick Play Spell, Odd Eyes Counter activate!" Yuya shouted as he activated the card that he used against Yuto a long time ago.

"What?!"

"Since you activated a card effect in response to an Odd Eyes monster's effect, that effect is negated and Odd Eyes Vortex Dragon gains 500 ATK!" Yuya shouted as his monster powered up.

Odd Eyes Vortex (3300/3000)-(3800/3000)

"No way..." Dennis uttered in shock.

"Incredible!"

"Amazing!"

"Now this is the end for you, Dennis! Odd Eyes Vortex Dragon, take Dennis out! Spiral Storm Burst!" Yuya shouted as his dragon shot a power green blast at the Entermage duelist.

"I won't lose so easily! I activate the effect of Entermage Trapeze Guardian's effect in my hand! When my opponent declares a direct attack, I can discard this card and then I can special summon a rank 5 or lower Entermage Xyz monster in my graveyard in attack mode!" Dennis shouted.

"Due to Odd Eyes Gravity Dragon's effect, you must pay 500 life points to activate card effects! Restraining Pressure!" Yuya shouted as his dragon's eyes glowed while the gravity around Dennis increased, causing him to go on a knee.

DENNIS: 2300-1800 LP

"Since I payed life points, I can now special summon Entermage Trapeze High Magician!"

Entermage Trapeze High Magician (2700/2200) RNK:5

"Then attack Trapeze High Magician! Spiral Storm Burst!" Yuya shouted as his dragon shot a green blast at the magician.

"And due to Trapeze Guardian's effect, this card can't be destroyed by battle and the damage is halved!" Dennis shouted as a barrier appeared around his magician.

DENNIS: 1800-1250 LP

Yuya jumped on his green dragon which flew upwards towards the ceiling. Yuya spotted a card and dove off of his dragon and grabbed the card.

"Action Spell, Wonder Chance! Odd Eyes Vortex can attack again! Odd Eyes Vortex Dragon, attack Abyss Actor Wild Hope!" Yuya commanded his monster.

"Wild Hope won't be destroyed due to Abyss Actor Inheritance, my monster isn't destroyed!" Sawatari countered.

"But you still take the damage! Spiral Storm Burst!" Yuya shouted as his dragon shot a green blast at the cowboy, causing a big shockwave that knocked Sawatari back.

SAWATARI: 2625-1675 LP

"And finally, Odd Eyes Gravity Dragon! Attack Tokumatsu directly! Spiral Gravity Burst!" Yuya shouted as his dragon shot a powerful orange blast at the defenseless Cardian user.

"I activate the effect of Deadly Petal Sword Dance in my graveyard! When my opponent declares a direct attack, I can banish this card along with a Cardian Synchro monster with lower ATK than the attacking monster I gain life equal to the banished monster's ATK!" Tokumatsu countered before the attack hit him.

"In order the activate that effect, you must pay 500 life points due to Odd Eyes Gravity Dragon's effect! Restraining Pressure!"

TOKUMATSU: 2700-2200-4200-1400 LP

"Alright everyone! Did you enjoy watching my dragons?" Yuya turned to the crowd as his fusion dragon stood on his left and and his ritual dragon stood on his right.

"YEAAAH!"

Yuya smiled seeing that the crowd was smiling and having fun watching the duel. Honestly, he was afraid that duels later on wouldn't be so upbeat and fun. He always wanted to duel like this. He wished this could go on for much longer. But sadly, if he was going to save the girl he loved, there was something he had to do.

Yuya looked at Yuto and without even needing to make any motions, Yuya knew what he was thinking. It's was time. Yuya nodded before turning to the crowd with a smile.

"It's time for a grand finale to my act!" Yuya shouted as a ball or black and purple energy appeared in the center of the stage.

"What the hell is that?!" Sawatari shouted.

"I activate the effect of Entermate Nightmare Knight's effect in my graveyard!"

"Eh?" Dennis let out in concern.

"By banishing this card in my graveyard, all players who took damage this turn take 1000 points of damage!" Yuya shouted with a wide smile as the ball of dark energy became unstable.

"What?!" Sawatari, Tokumatsu, and Dennis shouted.

"Alright everyone, countdown with me!" Yuya shouted.

"It's time to go." Yuto told his fellow Lancers as they began to move. Yuto nodded at Crow, Shinji, and Damon, who were on the other side of the room and were about to enter the vents when the time was right.

"3...2...1...Explode!" Yuya shouted snapping his fingers as the energy exploded, causing a beautiful purple and black light to consume the field and sent a wave of smoke that caused all the inmates and officers to be unable to see.

SAWATARI: 1675-675 LP

TOKUMATSU: 1400-400 LP

DENNIS: 1250-250 LP

As the smoke settled, the officers and the inmates were disoriented, giving Gongenzaka, Hokuto, Roy, Yaiba, Yuto, and Yugo the opportunity to leave to rescue their friends while Crow, Shinji, and Damon began their escape through the vents.

"That was amazing!"

"So epic!"

"This is the best duel ever!"

Yuya scanned the crowd to see if his friends were able to escape and smiled at the sight of them not being in the room.

'It worked!' Yuya thought to himself.

"Hey! What the hell do you think you are doing?!" Yuya heard an officer shouted.

'Maybe not.' Yuya sighed.

An Officer has spotted Crow, Shinji, and Damon who was trying to escape through a vent. Apparently, the shockwave from Yuya's final move was so powerful that it knocked over several boxes that were hiding the vent.

"Shit!" Damon cursed.

"It's a prison escape! Cancel the duel!" An Officer shouted.

"Damn it..." Crow grunted.

"Hey you! Don't you know that attempting to escape the facility is one of the biggest crimes there is..." A extremely bulky Officer said with a sadistic tone as he cracked his knuckles.

The man got ready to attack Crow, but he was met with a pan to the face, courtesy of Sawatari.

"Sawatari!" Crow shouted in shock.

"Don't worry! Go on and get out of here. We'll see you on the other side." Sawatari gave a thumbs up to the Synchro duelist who nodded and jumped up into the vents with his two friends.

"Why you little-!" The bulky Officer shouted at the blonde duelist. The man was about to punch the boy but both of his Abyss Actors appeared in front of the boy and sent the man flying with a double kick.

"How'd you like that?!" Sawatari shouted with a cocky smirk.

"Prison fight!" The inmates roared as they charged in and started to fight the other inmates.

"Sawatari! C'mon!" Yuya shouted at the blonde hair boy, leading him into the kitchen along with Dennis and Tokumatsu.

"Damn it! We were so close!" Sawatari yelled in frustration.

Suddenly, multiple officers stormed into the room and surrounded the four.

"Oh no!" Dennis yelled.

"No way...this can't be the end..." Yuya said in shock.

"Don't worry. We aren't done just yet." Tokumatsu grinned.

"What do you-?" Yuya asked before suddenly, multiple officers started screaming with joy outside of the room they were in.

"A rare card! So many rare cards!" The officers shouted with glee, completely forgetting about the Lancers and the old man.

"Here's the main event! Come on and get your free rare cards from Chojiro Tokumatsu's free rare card giveaway!" Tokumatsu's two servant shouted as they were throwing cards from Tokumatsu's huge pile of rare cards to cause a distraction.

"Return to the world's stage, boss!" The one servant shouted.

"Be well, boss!" The second servant shouted.

"Let's go, Yuya." Tokumatsu told the boy.

"Let's get this show on the road!" Dennis exclaimed.

"Let's get the hell out of here and save the dimensions!" Sawatari cheered.

"Yeah. Let's go!" Yuya shouted. The group then crawled into the vent and went on their way.

---

With the other Lancers

Yuto, Yugo, Gongenzaka, Roy, Hokuto, and Yaiba managed to reach the room where their duel disks were confiscated.

"Hurray!" Yugo shouted as he hugged his duel disk before placing it on his arm.

"Alright, it's time to carry out the next part to the plan." Yuto told the group who nodded back.

"Right!" They all said in unison.

Yuto, Yugo, and Yaiba when one way while Gongenzaka, Hokuto and Roy went a different way.

---

With the girls

"Yuzu, I think you should have this card." Serena said giving the card to Yuzu.

"Eh? Battle Fusion? Why?" Yuzu asked the girl with a confused look.

"Your deck does a good job against countering cards with high ATKs, but it isn't the best against powerful cards that can't be affected by card effects." Serena told the girl.

"Yeah..." Yuzu understood.

"With this spell, you can easily overpower any monster that you go against. I even almost beat Yuto with this card." Serena told the girl.

"Key word, almost." Masumi pointed out.

"That's not the point." Serena puffed her cheeks.

"But what about you?" Yuzu asked.

"Don't worry, I have more than one copy." Serena told the girl, revealing another copy of the card.

"Thank you, Serena." Yuzu smiled at the girl.

Suddenly, allowed banging noise was heard coming from outside.

"What the hell is that?" Masumi asked in confusion.

"OPEN THE DAMN DOOR RIGHT NOW!" A angry voice roared from outside.

"Is that...Yugo?" Yuzu asked in confusion and happiness.

Suddenly, the door swung open do to an officer opening it out of fear of Yugo.

"Thanks." The voice of Yuto said before punching the man, knocking him out. Yaiba, Yuto, and Yugo entered the room.

"Masumi!" Yaiba said in relief as he saw that his friend was ok.

"Yuzu? Are you ok?" Yugo asked in concern.

"I'm fine, Yugo." Yuzu answered.

"Thanks for the help. Not like we needed it." Serena told Yuto.

"Says the one who was stuck in this room." Yuto said to the girl.

"We were working on it!" Serena said with a faint blush.

"Sure. Anyways, we need to get out of here. Take these." Yuto said, handing each of the girls their duel disks.

"Thanks." Yuzu thanked the boy as she placed her deck into her duel disk. Serena and Masumi did the same.

"Let's get going!" Yuto lead the group of Lancers as they continued with their escape.

With Shun

Two officers were guarding the room Shun was placed indue to him getting into multiple fights.

"Hey, do you see him in there?" An officer askedas he looked inside the room through the glass.

"Oh no!" The other officer shouted opening the door and running into the room.

"There is no one here!" The officer shouted.

From the top corner of the room, Shun dropped down from the corner and elbowed both guards in the necks, knocking them out.

Shun then charged through the halls, taking out several guards who tried to detain him.

But, Shun's destructive outburst was stopped by one of his fellow Lancers, who he tried to attack out of pure instinct and adrenaline.

"Shun snap out of it!" Gongenzaka shouted at the older teen.

"Why are you all here?" Shun asked looking at Gongenzaka, Hokuto, and Roy.

"We came to get you!" Hokuto yelled.

"Where is Yuto?!" Shun asked in concern.

"Don't worry. He is leading another group that are freeing the girls." Roy explained.

"Here. Take this." Gongenzaka tossed Shun his duel disk.

"Hmph. Let's get going." Shun said as he put on his duel disk before running off.

"Shun Wait-!"

"Hey!" Two Officer shouted as they approached. Both activated their duel disks in unison.

"A duel eh? Finally!" Hokuto shouted activating his duel disk.

"Hokuto! Their's no time for this!" Gongenzaka shouted.

"Relax, Gongenzaka. I got this!" Hokuto enthusiastically said.

"I'll help too!" Roy said as he activated his own duel disk.

"Roy? You too?!"

"Don't worry. It won't be long! Catch up with Shun and make sure he doesn't kill anyone. Go!" Roy yelled.

"Fine. Be safe." Gongenzaka nodded. He then ran off to catch up with Shun.

"Are you ready to taste the strength of LDS' top Xyz duelist?" Hokuto asked with a wide grin.

"You will be defeated and detained!" The first Officer shouted.

"During this duel, you can attack players on your first turn, as long as they haven't started their turn yet!" The second Officer shouted.

"Fine by us! Let's go!" Roy shouted as he and Hokuto activated their duel disks, causing platforms to appeared around them.

HOKUTO: 4000-3400 LP

"Next, while I control a warrior-type synchro monster, I can summon the tuner monster, Jutte Rookie!" The first Officer shouted as a smaller version of Jutte Lord appeared.

"Now, I tune my level 1 Jutte Rookie to my level 6 Goyou Catapult! Imprison those who defy the law! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 7! Goyou Jailer!" The first Officer shouted as a new Goyou monster appeared. The monster had a outfit similar to Goyou Chaser but was black with silver stripes. The monster had a white mask with red facial carvings. The monster also had a long jutte in his left hand and a long chain in his right hand.

Goyou Jailer (2600/1600) LVL:7

"Turn End." The first Officer concluded with a smirk.

"I'm going next! My turn!" Hokuto shouted as he drew.

"I summon Constellar Algiedi! Next through Algiedi's effect I can special summon Constellar Kaus to my field! Then Kaus' effect! Twice per turn I can increase the level of a Constellar monster by 1! I choose Kaus and Algiedi!" Hokuto exclaimed.

"At this moment, Goyou Jailer's effect activates! Once per turn, when my opponent special summons a monster, that monster has it's effects negated!" The first Officer shouted as the monster threw the chain at the Xyz monster which wrapped around the Constellar monster.

"What?!" Hokuto shouted.

"That's not all! Then, I can take control of that monster!" The first Officer shouted as his Goyou monster dragged the warrior to his side of the field.

"He...took my monster...!"

"Damn it...what a cheap move!" Roy shouted in anger.

"Hurry up and end your turn!" The second Officer shouted.

"I...am not done! I activate the spell card Double Summon! I get to normal summon again! I summon Constellar Pollux!" Hokuto shouted as a monster with white and yellow armor appeared.

Constellar Pollux (1700/600) LVL:4

"And due to Pollux's effect, I can normal summon another Constellar monster to the field! I summon Constellar Acubes!" Hokuto shouted as a white and orange armored warrior appeared.

"Now, I overlay my level 4 Constellar Pollux and Acubes! Warrior guided by the stars! Come forth! Rank 4! Constellar Praesepe!" Hokuto yelled as he summoned a smaller yellow and white warrior.

Constellar Praesepe (2400/800) RNK:4 OVU:2

"That monster is weak compared to mine!" The Officer shouted.

"Battle! Constellar Praesepe, Attack Goyou Jailer!"

"Huh?"

"At this moment, Constellar Praesepe's effect activates! By using an overlay unit, once per turn when a Constellar monster battles, it gains 1000 ATK!" Hokuto shouted as his monster was surrounded in a bright yellow aura.

Praesepe (2400/800)-(3400/800)

"Action Spell, Nanana! Praesepe gains 700 ATK!" Roy shouted as his teammate's monster grew even more powerful.

Praesepe (3400/800)-(4100/800)

"Jutte Savior's effect in my graveyard activates! By banishing this card, my monster isn't destroyed!"

"But you still take the damage!"

OFFICER 1: 4000-2500 LP

"Turn End." Hokuto concluded. "At this moment, Constellar Praesepe's ATK returns to normal."

Praesepe (4100/800)-(2400/800)

"My turn! I summon the tuner monster, Jutte Rookie!" The second Officer shouted as a smaller version of Jutte Lord appeared.

"Battle! Goyou Jailer, Attack Constellar Praesepe!" The second Officer exclaimed as the warrior charged at the Xyz monster.

"Grr..." Hokuto grunted, being powerless to do anything.

"Take this!" The second Officer shouted as his monster slashed through the Constellar monster with it's weapon.

HOKUTO: 2800-2600 LP

"I set a card facedown, turn end." The Officer concluded.

"Alright! It's my turn!" Roy shouted as he drew. 'Thefirst Officer won't be able to take my monster since he has no cards in his hand to discard...so the only one I need to worry about is the second Officer's Goyou Jailer...'

"Take your turn!" The first Officer impatiently shouted.

"Geez, how impatient. With the Scale 2 Theta the Super Magnet Warrior and the Scale 5 Epsilon the Super Magnet Warrior, I set the Pendulum Scale!" Roy shouted as two new Magnet Warrior rose up in the pendulum zones. The lower scale warrior was a cyan Magnet Warrior with two cannons for arms and the higher scale warrior was a red Magnet Warrior with two big gauntlets on it's hands that had magnets on them.

Theta 2 - 5 Epsilon

"So these are your Pendulum cards..." Hokuto muttered.

"With this, I can simultaneously summon level 3 and 4 monsters! Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my magnetic monsters! Alpha the Electromagnet Warrior! Beta the Electromagnet Warrior! And Delta the Magnet Warrior!" Roy shouted as three electromagnet monsters appeared on his field.

Alphathe Electromagnet Warrior (1700/1100) LVL:3

Beta the Electromagnet Warrior (1500/1500) LVL:3

Delta the Magnet Warrior (1600/1400) LVL:4

"At this moment, Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Theta's effects activate!" Royexplained with a smirk.

"A chain of 4 effects?!" The two officers yelled in shock.

"Alpha's effect! When normal or special summoned, I can add a level 8 Magna Warrior from my deck to my hand! Beta's effect! I add a level 4 Magnet Warrior from my deck to my hand besides Beta! Delta's effect! I send a level 4 or lower Magnet Warrior from my deck to the graveyard! Theta's Pendulum effect! When I Pendulum Summon two or more Magnet monsters, I can draw a card!" Roy explained.

"That's a lot of effects..." Hokuto admitted.

"Now the chain resolves! I draw a card! Then I send Alpha the Magnet Warrior from my deck to the graveyard! Then, I add Gamma the Electromagnet Warrior from my deck to my hand and after that, I'll add Berserkion the Electromagna Warrior from my deck to my hand!" Roy explained.

"That was a nice move, but those monster are far to weak to go against ours!" The second Officer shouted.

"We'll see about that! I summon Gamma the Electromagnet Warrior!" Roy shouted as another warrior appeared.

Gamma the Electromagnet Warrior (800/2000) LVL:3

"Let's go! By banishing my three Electromagnet monsters, I can combine them to summon this monster!" Roy shouted as the three monsters flew up into the air. "Combine and appear! Level 8! Berserkion the Electromagna Warrior!"

In a bright flash of light, the combined form of the electromagnet warriors appeared in front of Roy.

Beserkion the Electromagna Warrior (3000/2800) LVL:8

"My Goyou Jailer's effect activates! By discarding a card, your monster's effects are negated! Then, I take control of it!" The second Officer shouted as his monster threw it's chain that wrapped around the Magnet Warrior and dragged it to the man's field.

"You fell for it."

"What?"

"I knew you were waiting for me to summon a powerful monster to take control of it. But what you didn't expect is for me to summon an even stronger monster!" Roy smirked.

"What nonsense! You only have one monster on your field! There's no way you could summon a strong monster!" The first Officer shouted.

"You think so?"

"What?!"

"I activate the spell card Graceful Charity! I draw 3 cards!" Roy shouted as he drew and looked at his cards. "Perfect. I'll now discard Beta the Magnet Warrior and Gamma the Magnet Warrior. Next, I activate the spell card, Magnet Inspection! I target one Magna Warrior of Magnet Warrior monster on the field and return it to the hand! I choose to return Berserkion!"

"What?!" The second Officer shouted as his stolen dispersed into particles.

"Then, I draw 1 card!" Roy shouted as he drew.

"Where's that powerful monster?" The first Officer taunted.

"Heh. Epsilon's Pendulum Effect! By releasing one Magnet Warrior monster on my field, I can set a spell or trap that lists Magnet Warrior or Magna Warrior in it's text! I release my Delta the Magnet Warrior!" Roy explained as his monster disappeared. A card then popped out of his duel disk and he automatically set it facedown.

"Getting rid of your only monster? Now your defenseless!" The second Officer grinned.

"You wanted to see a powerful monster, right? Well here it comes! Delta the Magnet Warrior's effect activates! When this card is sent to the graveyard, by banishing 3 other Magnet Warriors in my graveyard, I can special summon a certain monster from my deck ignoring summoning conditions!" Roy explained with a wide smile.

"A monster from the deck?!"

"By banishing Alpha, Beta, and Gamma the Magnet Warriors, I can special summon Valkyrion the Magna Warrior ignoring summoning conditions!" Roy shouted as the combination of his original Magnet Warriors appeared in a flash of light.

Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500/3850) LVL:8

"3500 ATK?!" The officers shouted in disbelief.

"And since you already used your monster's effect this turn, you can't use it again!" Hokuto said with a smirk while looking at the second Officer.

"And since you have no cards in your hand, you can't use your monster's effect either!" Roy smirked while looking at the first Officer.

"Screw you brats!" The second Officer shouted.

"Battle! Valkyrion, Attack Goyou Jailer!" Roy commanded his monster as it charged towards the second officer's monster.

"Trap Activate! Synchro Endurance! My monster isn't destroyed!"

"Not gonna happen!" Hokuto shouted as he jumped on a platform and grabbed an Action Card. "Action Spell, Counter Shock! The activation of your trap is negated!"

"What?!"

"Go, Magnet Saber!" Roy shouted as his monster slashed through the synchro monster.

OFFICER 2: 4000-3100 LP

"Quick Play Spell, Magnet Strike! When a Magnet Warrior or Magna Warrior destroys a monster by battle, it can attack again!" Roy shouted as he activated the final card in his hand.

"Impossible!"

"You lose! Valkyrion, Attack him directly! Magnet Saber!" Roy yelled as his monster hit the officer with it's blade, sending him flying backwards.

OFFICER 2: 3100-0 LP

"Alright!" Hokuto cheered.

"Turn end! How'd you like that?" Roy asked with a smirk as his monster returned to his side.

"Damn brat! My turn!" The first Officer shouted as he drew. "I'll finish you off first! Goyou Jailer, Direct Attack!"

"Oh no!" Hokuto panicked.

"I won't let you take my friend out! Trap Activate! Magnet Attraction! When my opponent declares an attack, the attack target is switched to a Magna Warrior or Magnet Warrior on my field! Now, your monster will be attacking Valkyrion!" Roy shouted as Valkyrion jumped in front of the attack.

"You don't get it, do you? Goyou Jailer's effect! I can release a monster that I took control of through this card's effect when this card attacks and this card gains ATK equal to half of the released monster's ATK! I release Pleiades for Jailer to gains 1250 ATK!"

Goyou Jailer (2600/1600)-(3850/1600)

"Valkyrion!" Roy shouted as his monster was destroyed.

ROY: 4000-3650 LP

"Quick Play Spell, Goyou Crush! While I control exactly one Goyou monster, and it destroys a monster in battle,my opponent takes damage equal half of the destroyed monster's ATK!"

"Huh?!" Roy gasped.

"Take this!" The Officer shouted as his monster charged forward and swatted Roy, sending him flying backwards.

ROY: 3650-1900 LP

"Haha! That's what you get for interfering!" The officer laughed.

"Roy! You ok?" Hokuto asked as he helped the Magnet duelist up.

"Yeah...I'm good..." Roy uttered.

"Turn end. Now take your last pathetic turns." The Officer concluded.

Goyou Jailer (3850/1600)-(2600/1600)

"You'll pay for that! My turn! I activate the spell card Pot of Greed! I draw 2 cards!" Hokuto shouted as he drew and looked at the cards in his hand.

"You can do this, Hokuto." Roy said.

"You've lost!" Hokuto smirked.

"Oh really?"

"I activate the Equip spell card Xyz Revival! I revive an Xyz monster and equip it with this card! Revive, Constellar Pleiades!" Hokuto shouted as the monster returned.

"Why bring back that weak monster?" The Officer asked.

"Next, I activate the Equip Spell card Xyz Jeweled Crown! My monster gains level equal to it's tank and is treated as two monsters!" Hokuto explained with a smirk.

Pleiades RNK:5/LVL:5

"Now, I overlay my level 5 Pleiades that is treated as two monsters! Light of the Stars, Descend now and make the very earth tremble! Xyz Summon! Come Forth! Rank 5! Constellar Pleiades!" Hokuto yelled as another copy of his ace appeared.

Constellar Pleiades (2500/1500) RNK:5 OVU:1

"Either way, that monster is still too weak!" The Officer shouted.

"But now I have a Pleiades with an overlay unit, so it can now use it's effect! By using an overlay unit, your monster is returned to the hand!" Hokuto exclaimed as his monster absorbed a yellow overlay unit and projected a bright light towards the Synchro monster, causing it to burst.

"E-Eh?!" The Officer uttered.

"This is the end! Battle! Constellar Pleiades, Direct Attack!" Hokuto shouted as his warrior charged forward and hit the officer with it's blade, sending him flying and onto the ground hard.

OFFICER 1: 2500-0 LP

WINNER: HOKUTO and ROY

"Alright!" The two exclaimed as they high fives each other.

"Let's go catch up to Gongenzaka and Shun." Hokuto said.

"Right!" Roy said before the ran off.

With Yuya's group

"This looks like a good place to get out." Sawatari said as he opened the vent opening and crawled out.

"You sure, Sawatari?" Yuya asked from inside vent.

"I'm positive!" Sawatari answered.

"Then let's get going. This vent is very small." Dennis said before he, Yuya, and Tokumatsu crawled out.

The group was in a hallway of the base. Judging by how long they were crawling, they assumed they had to be close to the exit.

"It appears we are still in the facility. But we aren't too far off from the exit." Tokumatsu told the group.

"That's good then. Let's get mov-" Yuya was about to say but his voice was cut off.

"Yuya!" A female voice shouted from behind the group. Yuya looked behind him and his eyes widened. It was Yuto, Yugo, Yaiba, Serena, Masumi, and...Yuzu!

"Yuzu!" Yuya happily shouted, running over and hugging the girl in front of everyone. "I was so worried! I'm so glad you are ok!"

"Yuya...we are in public..." Yuzu whispered causing the boy to let go blushing.

"So this is Yuya's girlfriend, right?" Tokumatsu whispered.

"That's right..." Dennis answered.

"My god..." Sawatari rolled his eyes at the sight of his rival being a blushing mess.

"Aw, I think they are cute." Dennis said to the blonde duelist.

"Oh there is no doubt in my mind they are meant for each other. It's just that the lovey dovey-ness makes me sick." Sawatari irritatedly said to the Entermage user.

"Eh, I see your point." Dennis responded.

"Yuya! Nice distraction in there!" Yugo excitedly said.

"Thanks, I didn't expect that move to be so destructive though..." Yuya sighed.

"Relax, Yuya. All that matters is that we got out of there." Yuto told the boy which made him happy.

"That's right. Now we just got to meet up with Crow's group and Gongenzaka's group and we'll be able to get out of here!" Yuya said.

"That's right. Now, can we get going?" Serena said, beginning to run off.

"Yeah, lets go!" Yuya said as the Lancers and Tokumatsu ran off.

---

A few moments later

"This has to be it!" Yugo said asthe group saw a big opening at the end of the hall.

"Alright!" Sawatari cheered.

"Finally, we can get out of this place!" Yaiba said with a relieved tone.

"Yeah." Yuto agreed. But, Yuto's instincts were telling him something was off.

He looked up and saw a gate sliding down from the ceiling. He quickly took Serena by the hand and dove forwardto evade being crushed.

Yuya also saw this happening and pushed Yuzu forward, letting her escape.

The gate shut causing the group to split up.

On the side with the opening was Yugo, Yuto, Serena, Yuzu, Tokumatsu and Dennis.

The ones who were trapped inside still were Yuya, Masumi, Yaiba, and Sawatari.

"Yuya!" Yuzu crowd in horror.

"Damn it!"Yugo shouted as he punched the gate.

"Why do bad things always happen to me?!" Sawatari yelled.

"Is everyone ok over there?" Yuto asked the people on the other side.

"We're fine." Masumi answered.

"You guys need to keep going, we'll find another way out." Yuya told the others.

"No way! We aren't leaving you!" Yuzu shouted.

"I'm sorry, young lady. But this may be our only chance to escape." Tokumatsu told the girl.

"Have faith in Yuya and the others." Yuto said, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Be safe." Yuzu looked back at the group.

"Don't worry." Yuya smiled at her. She nodded before her group ran through the opening.

"We need to look for another way out." Masumi told the boys.

"Oh! There's another vent!" Yaiba said.

"I am not getting in another ve-" Sawatari was about to complain but he then heard the footsteps of Officers in the distance. "Ok I'll go in first!

In the vent

Sawatari, Yuya, Masumi, and Yaiba were crawling through the vents with Sawatari leading.

"Don't worry everyone! With me leading the way, we are bound to find a way out of here!" Sawatari confidently said.

"I hope so." Masumi said.

"Guys! I see an opening! This is definitely our way out! I can feel it!" Sawatari said as they approached an opening.

"I hope you are right." Yuya said.

"We're free!" Sawatari cheered as he stood up after crawling out of the vent.

"Are we on...the roof?!" Yuya shouted in shock.

"How the hell did this happen?!" Yaiba said in a confused tone.

"Nice job, Sawatari." Masumi told the pendulum user.

"H-Hey! It's isn't my fault I didn't know where we were going!" Sawatari pouted.

"What now?" Yaiba asked.

"Look! There's a latter over there! Maybe we can get down and find our way out!" Yuya told the others.

"Good idea. Let's hurry." Masumi said as they began to run to the latter.

"There they are!"

"Don't let them get away!"

"Hey you brats! Don't move!"

Suddenly, three men in black and blue outfits with black and red masks appeared at the top of the roof looking down at the kids. They all jumped down to where Yuya and the others were standing and readied there duel disks.

"Who are these jokers?" Sawatari asked.

"We are the Arrest Corps!"

"We will beat you all and take you back in!"

"That's right. You might as well give up now or else we will use force!"

"So you guys want a duel? I'll take all three of you on all by myself!" Sawatari shouted with a confident tone as he activate his green duel disk blade.

"Challenging us alone will be your downfall!" One of the Arrest corps members shouted.

"Oh we'll see about that!" Sawatari retorted.

"Sawatari, what the hell are you doing?! We need to escape! We don't have time!" Yuya argued.

"Why does everyone always want to runaway? Where's the fun in that?" Sawatari asked.

"Tch, I've been itching to duel, so bring it!" Yaiba shouted as he activated his own green duel disk blade.

"You too, Yaiba?!" Masumi shouted.

"If we all jump in, the duel will take too long and we'll miss our chance to escape!" Yuya shouted.

"But if we defeat them, they won't be chasing us!" Sawatari argues back.

"Let's go!" Yaiba shouted.

"DUEL!"

ARREST CORPS 1: 4000 LP ARREST CORPS 2: 4000 LP ARREST CORPS 3: 4000 LP vs SAWATARI: 4000 LP YAIBA: 4000 LP

"I am going first. I summon the tuner monster, Jutte Knight! Then, while I control a Warrior-type monster, I can summon Kiribi Lady!" The first member shouted as two monsters appeared.

Jutte Knight (700/900) LVL:2

Kiribi Lady (100/100) LVL: 1

"Now I tune my level 2 Jutte Knight to my level 1 Kiribi Lady! Taste the power of authority! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 3! Goyou Defender!" The man shouted as a warrior carrying a jutte and a riot shield appeared.

Goyou Defender (1000/1000) LVL:3

"Only 1000 ATK..." Sawatari muttered.

"There's more! While there is a Goyou Defender on the field, I can special summon two Goyou Defenders straight from the extra deck!" The first member shouted as two more of the same synchro monster appeared.

"What?!" Yaiba shouted.

Goyou Defender x2 (1000/1000) LVL:3

"I set one card face down, turn end." The first member concluded as the three men along walked towards the group.

"My turn!" Sawatari shouted as he drew. "With the Scale 2 Abyss Actor Wild Hope and the Scale 3 Abyss Actor Big Star, I set the Pendulum Scale!"

Wild Hope 2 - 3 Big Star

"Next, I activate the spell card Scale Up! Big Star's Pendulum scale increase by 2!"

Wild Hope 2 - 5 Big Star

"With this, I can simultaneously summon monsters with levels 3 and 4! Pendulum Summon! Come to the stage, my monsters! Abyss Actor Pretty Heroine! Abyss Actor Sassy Rookie!" Sawatari shouted as his two monsters appeared.

Abyss Actor Sassy Rookie (1700/1100) LVL: 4

Abyss Actor Pretty Heroine (1500/1000) LVL: 4

"Battle! Sassy Rookie, Attack Goyou Defender!" Sawatari commanded as his fiend charged towards the Goyou monster in the middle.

"You idiot! Goyou Defender's effect activates! This card's ATK becomes the number of Goyou Defenders on the field times 1000 when it is attacked by an opponent's monster!" The first member explained as his monster powered up.

Goyou Defender (1000/1000)-(3000/1000)

"Tch, Sassy Rookie can't be destroyed by battle once per turn." Sawatari explained as the synchro monster slapped the monster back towards Sawatari.

SAWATARI: 4000-2700 LP

"So no matter what Sawatari does, the only way he can decrease those monster's ATKs is by destroying one in battle..." Masumi said with a worried expression.

"Tch, I set a card face down, turn end." Sawatari concluded with an angry tone.

"My turn! While there is a Goyou Defender on the field, I can special summon Goyou Defenders from the extra deck!" The second member of the arrest corps shouted as he special summoned 3 Goyou Defenders.

Goyou Defender x3 (1000/1000) LVL: 3

"More?!" Sawatari yelled.

"Goyou Defenders can't attack the turn they are summoned this way. I set a card facedown. Turn End." The second member concluded.

"At this point, each of those Goyou's defenders ATKs will be 6000 so Sawatari and Yaiba can't destroy them!" Yuya realized.

"Damn, you guys are really using a dirty strategy. But it doesn't matter! I'll defeat no matter what! My turn!" Yaiba shouted as he drew. He looked at his card and smiled.

"What can Yaiba even do...?" Masumi said with a worried tone.

"There is no way you can overpower us!" The second member shouted.

"Who said I needed to overpower you to beat your monster?" Yaiba asked with a confident smirk.

"What?"

"I summon XX-Saber Boggart Knight!" Yaiba shouted as a knight with dark grey armor and a thin sword appeared.

XX-Saber Boggart Knight (1900/1000) LVL: 4

"When this card is special summoned, I can special summon a level 4 or lower X-Saber monster from my hand! Come on out, the tuner monster, X-Saber Palomuro!" Yaiba shouted as a green lizard warrior appeared.

X-Saber Palomuro (200/300) LVL:1

"While I control 2 X-Saber monsters, I can special summon XX-Saber Faultroll!" Yaiba shouted as his two monsters linked their blades together. A light shined from the blades and a warrior carrying a blue sword appeared

XX-Saber Faultroll (2400/1800) LVL: 6

"Now, I tune my level 1 Palomuro to my level 4 Boggart Knight! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 5! X-Saber Wayne!" Yaiba shouted as his warrior that looked similar to a cowboy with a gun that had a blade on it appeared.

X-Saber Wayne (2100/400) LVL: 5

"X-Saber Wayne's effect! I can special summon a level 4 or lower from my hand! I summon XX-Saber Garsem!" Yaiba shouted as a beast with two blades attached to it's hands appeared.

XX-Saber Garsem (1400/400) LVL: 4

"Then, XX-Saber Faultroll's effect activates! I can special summon level 4 or lower X-Saber from my graveyard! I summon back X-Saber Palomuro!" Yaiba shouted as his tuner returned.

"He's going for another Synchro Summon!" The first member realized.

"I tune my level 1 Palomuro to my level 6 Faultroll! Carry your swords that glimmer with light as you climb over the mountain of corpses before you! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 7! X-Saber Souza!" Yaiba cries as a large warrior with two long swords and black armor along with a red cape appeared.

X-Saber Souza (2500/1600) LVL: 7

"Those monsters are far to weak to take us on!" The second arrest corps member laughed.

"Just because my monster isn't stronger in stats, doesn't mean it can't take your monsters out!" Yaiba said with a smirk.

"You must be bluffing." The first member said.

"Watch and find out! X-Saber Souza's effect! By releasing an X-Saber on the field, it's true power is unlocked!" Yaiba explained.

"True power?" The third member asked.

"When X-Saber Souza battles, the monster is already destroyed before I would take any damage!" Yaiba shouted.

"It doesn't matter! You'll only be able to destroy one of our monsters!"

"That's not true! Quick Play Spell, Saber Burst Slash activate! While I control exactly two X-Saber Synchro monsters, by releasing 1 of them, the other can attack every monster on my opponent's field! So by releasing X-Saber Wayne, Souza can attack all 6 of your monsters!" Yaiba explained as his weaker synchro monster turned into particles that flowed into Souza.

"What?!" Everyone else shouted.

"Battle! X-Saber Souza, attack all 6 of those Goyou Defenders and due to his effect, all of your monsters are destroyed! Take this!" Yaiba shouted as his warrior jumped up into the air and creating an X-Shaped energy slash that cut through all of the Goyou monsters.

"Impossible..." The first and second officers uttered.

"Amazing, Yaiba!" Yuya cheered.

"That was a great move!" Masumi added.

"Not bad." Sawatari told his teammate.

"It's not over yet! Quick Play Spell, Saber Burning Attack! While I control an X-Saber Synchro monster during the end of the battle phase, each player takes 300 points of damage for every monster that left their field! Since you each lost 3 monsters, you take 900 points of damage!" Yaiba shouted as a blast of fire shot out of the card and hit the two arrest corps members.

ARREST CORPS 1: 4000-3100 LP

ARREST CORPS 2: 4000-3100 LP

"Alright!" Yaiba shouted.

"That was pure luck." The first member said.

"You'll pay for that!" The second shouted.

"Also, the effect of X-Saber Burst Slash activates! Since the monster targeted by this effect destroyed 2 or more monsters, I draw 2 cards!" Yaiba explained as he drewand looked at his cards. "I set 2 cards facedown, turn end."

"During the end phase of the turn two or more Goyou monsters are destroyed, I can activate the Trap card, Goyou Swarm!" The first man shouted.

"Eh? What does that do?" Sawatari impatiently asked.

"All Goyou monster's destroyed last turn are special summoned back to the field!" The man exclaimed as all 6 of the monsters returned.

Goyou Defender x6 (1000/1000) LVL: 3

"And then, my opponent takes 200 points of the damage for each Goyou monster that was destroyed during their turn!" The man exclaimed as a powerful yellow blast hit Yaiba, causing him to get knocked back a few feet.

YAIBA: 4000-2800 LP

"Damn it...!" Yaiba muttered in anger.

"They summoned all the monsters back..." Yuya uttered in shock.

"This isn't good!" Sawatari shouted in nervousness.

"My turn!" The third member of the arrest corps shouted. While there is a Goyou Defender on the field, I can special summon Goyou Defenders from the extra deck, but they cannot attack."

Goyou Defender x3 (1000/1000) LVL: 3

"Is that the only move you guys got?!" Sawatari shouted with an irritated tone.

"Next, I summon the tuner monster, Jutte Knight!"

Jutte Knight (700/900) LVL: 2

"Now, I tune my level 2 Jutte Knight to two of my level 3 Goyou Guardians!" The third man shouted as his tuner monster turned in two green rings that went around two of the Synchro monsters.

"What? Another Synchro Summon?!" Sawatari yelled.

"Prostrate before the power of authority! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 8! Goyo King!" The third member shouted. A warrior in red, dark blue, and yellow clothing with white face painting and a long staff-like jutte appeared.

Goyou King (2800/2000) LVL: 8

"2800 ATK..." Yaiba said with a worried tone.

"When Goyou King attacks, it gains 400 ATK for every Goyou monster on the field!" The third man exclaimed.

"There's 8 Goyou monsters on the field!" Masumi realized.

"So Goyou King will gain 3200 ATK!" Yuya's yelled as his eyes widened.

"Battle! Goyou King, attack X-Saber Souza! Now, my monster's ATK increases!"

Goyou King (2800/2000)-(6000/2000)

"6-6000 ATK?!" Sawatari uttered.

"If this attack hits, Yaiba will take 3500 damage and lose!" Yuya realized with a look of terror.

"Yaiba!" Masumi yelled in concern.

"Trap Activate! Saber Soul Force! When an X-Saber monster is attacked by a monster whose ATK is at least 2000 greater than it's own, I can target an X-Saber in my graveyard and my battling card gains the target's ATK! I target X-Saber Wayne and Souza gains Wayne's 2100 ATK!" Yaiba shouted as the spirit of Wayne appeared behind Souza.

Souza (2500/1600)-(4600/1600)

"You might not lose...but your monster is way too weak to compare to mine!" The third member shouted as his monster busted through the warrior. The shockwave sent Yaiba to the ground, despite his effort to keep his footing.

YAIBA: 2800-1400 LP

"Yaiba!" Masumi yelled.

"I'm ok..." Yaiba said as he got up.

"But Goyou Kong's effect activates! When Goyou King destroys a monster, I can special summon the destroyed monster to my field!" The third man yelled.

"No way!" Yaiba cried as Souza appeared on his opponent's field.

X-Saber Souza (2500/1600) LVL: 7

"Due to Saber Soul Force's effect, when my battling monster is destroyed, I can special summon the monster targeted by this card's first effect! Come on out, X-Saber Wayne!"

X-Saber Wayne (2100/400) LVL: 5

"Also, X-Saber Palomuro's effect in my graveyard activates! When an other monster on my field is destroyed, by paying 500 life points to special summon this card!" Yaiba exclaimed as the green lizard returned.

YAIBA: 1400-900 LP

X-Saber Palomuro (200/300) LVL:1

"Now he has defense for the upcoming turns." Masumi added.

"I activate the effect of Goyou King! Since my opponent normal or specialsummoned a monster, by releasing a Goyou monster on any player's field, I take control of a level 8 or lower monster on your field! So by releasing my last Goyou Defender, I take control of X-Saber Wayne!" The third man shouted as his defender appeared behind the Synchro monster.

"I activate my other Trap, Saber Defense Stance! X-Sabers on my field are unaffected by card effects until my next turn!" Yaiba shouted as his monster swatted the Goyou Defender away. The Goyou defender was then sent to the graveyard due to it already being released.

"Tch, X-Saber Souza, attack Abyss Actor Pretty Heroine!" The third member of the arrest corps commanded as the stolen monster charged in an destroyed the female fiend.

SAWATARI: 2700-1700 LP

"Damn you..." Sawatari grunted as the shockwave forced him to a knee.

"Turn end." The third member concluded before turning to the first member.

"My turn!" The first man shouted as he drew.

"Since your Goyou Defender's effects only activate when attacked, so they won't be able to power up during your turn!" Sawatari shouted with a smirk.

"That may be true, but I can do this! I activate the spell card Goyou Booster! All Goyou monster on my field gains 300 ATK times the amount of Goyou monsters on my field! So, my Defenders gain 900 ATK!"

Goyou Defender x3 (1000/1000)-(1900/1000)

"Battle! Goyou Defender, attack Abyss Actor Sassy Rookie!" The first man shouted as his monster charged towards the fiend.

"Sassy Rookie can't be destroyed once per turn!" Sawatari countered.

"But you still take the damage!"

SAWATARI: 1700-1500 LP

"Now, my second Goyou Defender attacks! And this time, your monster will be destroyed!" The man shouted as his warrior swatted the monster, causing it to burst and slightly damage Sawatari.

SAWATARI: 1500-1300 LP

"Once more direct attack and Sawatari is gonna lose!" Yuya realized.

"You're finished!"

"That's not true! When an Abyss Actor is destroyed by battle, I can special summon Abyss Actor Mellow Madonna from my hand!" Sawatari shouted as a women with violet skin and pink and yellow hair in black clothing appeared.

Abyss Actor Mellow Madonna (1800/2500) LVL: 7

"Your monsters are far to weak to destroy her!" Sawatari said with a smirk.

"Nice job Sawatari!" Yuya cheered.

"That move won't help you! Goyou King's effect activates! Since you special summoned a monster releasing a Goyou monster on any player's field, I can take control of a level 8 or lower monster on my opponent's field!" The third member shouted.

"Quick Play Spell, Abyss Script Manuevering Dance! Now, the activation of any of your effects that target an Abyss Actor on my field are negated until the end of this turn!" Sawatari countered.

"Damn you persistent brats!" The third man screamed in anger.

"They have managed to defend against Goyou King's effect, but they have barely been able to go on the offensive..." Yuya said.

"I don't care how cheap your moves are, I'll definitely defeat you all!" Sawatari shouted. "My turn-"

INTRUSION PENALTY: 2000 LIFE POINTS

MASUMI: 4000-2000LP

"Masumi?!" Yuya, Sawatari, and Yaiba shouted.

"Relax. I have a strategy to help defeat them. I activate the Continuous Spell, Gem Knight Reflection Barrier! This card's effect protects my Gem Knight Fusion monster from being targeted by effects during my turn!" Masumi explained.

"Now they can't take control of her monsters!" Yaiba realized.

"Next, I activate the spell card Gem Knight Fusion! This card lets me Fusion Summon a Gem Knight Fusion monster! I fuse together Gem Knight Roumaline and Emeral! Secret stone clad in thunder! Brilliant emerald of good fortune! In a whirlpool of light combine to bring forth a new dazzling radiance! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Level 6! Gem Knight Paz!" Masumi shouted as a Gem Knight was in topaz colored armor appeared.

Gem Knight Paz (1800/1800) LVL: 6

"What's a weak monster like that going to do against us?" The third man laughed.

"You'll see. But first, I activate the effect of Gem Knight Fusion in my graveyard! By banishing a Gem Knight, I can add my spell back to my hand!" Masumi explained as she banished Roumaline.

"She's going to perform another Fusion Summon...!" Sawatari realized.

"I activate the spell card Gem Knight Fusion once more! I fuse Gem Knight Paz on my field with Gem Knight Saphire and Ganet in my hand! Strong willed blue! Crimson truth! Topaz will! Brilliant emerald of good fortune! In a whirlpool of light combine to bring forth a new dazzling radiance! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Level 9! Supreme radiance who illuminates everything! Gem Knight Master Dia!" Masumi shouted as her large knight with gem like armor and a long sword appeared.

Gem Knight Master Dia (2900/2500) LVL:9

"2900 ATK...that's stronger than my Goyou King..." The third man uttered.

"There currently 4 Gem Knights in my graveyard, and due to Master Dia's effect, he gains 400 ATK!" Masumi exclaimed as her monster powered up.

Master Dia (2900/2500)-(3300/2500)

"Now, I activate Master Dia's effect! By banishing a level 7 or lower Gem Knight in my graveyard, Master Dia gains it's effects! I banish Gem Knigh Paz!" Masumi shouted as she banished her other Fusion monster.

"But since you banished a Gem Knight, your knight loses 100 ATK since there are only 3 in the graveyard now!" The first Officer shouted.

Master Dia (3300/2500)-(3200/2500)

"Battle! Master Dia, Attack Goyou King!" Masumi shouted. Her knight charged forward and slashed through the synchro monster, causing a minor shockwave.

ARREST CORPS 3: 4000-3600 LP

"Now you all can't steal our monsters!" Yaiba shouted.

"Tch..." The third man let out.

"Now, the effect of Master Dia that was gained from Gem Knight Paz activates! Since Master Dia destroyed a monster, damage equal to it's ATK is inflict to you!Take this!" Masumi shouted as he monster's sword was surround by topaz light before swinging it at the officer, causing him to be hit by an energy slash that sent him flying backwards.

"GAAAAH!"

ARREST CORPS 3: 3600-800 LP

"Damn you...!"

"I'm not done yet! Due to Paz's effect, Master Dia can attack twice during this battle!"

"What?!"

"Master Dia, Attack the stolen X-Saber Souza!" Masumi commanded as her monster slashed through the stolen monster.

ARREST CORPS 3: 800-100 LP

"And now you take damage equal to X-Saber Souza's ATK! You're finished!" Masumi shouted as her monster sent another topaz colored energy slash towards the man, sending him flying and to the other side of the roof.

ARREST CORPS 3: 100-0 LP

"Nice job, Masumi!" Yaiba cheered.

"Turn end. Now you two better finish this off." Masumi smiled as she turned to the two boys.

"Don't worry, with my amazing talents, this will be easy! My turn!" Sawatari confidently shouted.

"You will pay for defeating our comrade!" The second man shouted.

"No, you'll pay for wasting my precious time! I activate the spell card, Abyss Script Super Recasting! I can only activate this card when it's the only card in my hand and I have less life points then my opponent! Now, I can shuffle up to three Abyss Actor Pendulum monsters from my field, hand, pendulum zone, or face up extra deck back into my deck, to draw the same amount of cards plus 1! So, I'll shuffle Abyss Actor Pretty Heroine and Sassy Rookie in my extra deck, and Abyss Actor Wild Hope in my Pendulum Zone, to draw 4 cards!" Sawatari shouted as he drew.

"Throwing away your cards so easily?" The second man taunted.

"Now, I activate the spell card, Abyss Script Intermission! Now, all Abyss Actor Cards on the field are returned to the hand!" Sawatari explained.

"What? Are you giving up?" The first man asked.

"Not at all! With the Scale 0 Abyss Actor Mellow Madonna and the Scale 9 Abyss Actor Twinkle Littlestar, I set the Pendulum Scale!" Sawatari shouted as he set Mellow Madonna along with a small female fiend in a dark blue and pink dress.

Mellow Madonna 0 - 9 Twinkle Littlestar

"Scale 0?!" Yuya shouted with an astonished look.

"He used the spell to be able to reset the Pendulum Scale..." Yaiba realized.

"Not a bad move, Sawatari." Masumi told him.

"Please, hold your praise until the end! With the set scale, I can simultaneously summon monsters with levels 1 through 8 all at the same time! But first, Mellow Madonna's Pendulum effect activates! By paying 1000 life points..."

SAWATARI: 1300-300 LP

"...I can add a Abyss Actor Pendulum monster from my deck to my hand! I add Abyss Actor Phantom Narrator to my hand! Next is my Pendulum Summon! Come to the stage, my monsters! From my hand, Abyss Actor Big Star! Abyss Actor Phantom Narrator!" Sawatari shouted as his ace along with a new fiend appeared from the light of the Pendulum portal. The new monster looked like a ghostly fiend with a tuxedo and a microphone.

Abyss Actor Big Star (2500/1800) LVL: 7

Abyss Actor Phantom Narrator (500/500) LVL: 1

"So what? You did all that work just to summon two weak monsters! How foolish!" The first man shouted.

"Foolish? More like Brilliant! Big Star's effect! I add an Abyss Script spell from my deck to my hand! Then, I'll activate the spell card Abyss Script Fantasy Magic! And with it, I target Big Star! It's time for a wardrobe change!" Sawatari shouted as his ace read a book of magical spells before turning gaining black magician-like clothing.

"Are you playing around?" The second man asked.

"No, I'm just getting ready to defeat you! Next, I activate the effect of Phantom Narrator! During the turn this card is special summoned, I can target an Abyss Actor Pendulum monster on my field and it gains the following effect until the end of the turn! When the target battles, the opposing monster can't activate it's effects!" Sawatari explained with a grin.

"So that's why Sawatari worked so hard to summon out that card...so he can prevent the Goyou monsters from powering up!" Masumi realized.

"Clever, but futile! Either way, you would only be able to destroy one of our monsters!" The first man shouted.

"That's where you are wrong! Twinkle Littlestar's effect! I can target an Abyss Actor Pendulum monster on my field and it can attack up to three times this turn! But, no other monsters can attack in exchange." Sawatari shouted with a smirk.

"3 attacks?!" The second man shouted.

"What a powerful Pendulum effect..." Yuya said in awe.

"Go, Big Star! Attack the second one's Goyou Defender!" Sawatari shouted as his monster fired a magical blue blast at the warrior. "And due to Phantom Narrator's effect, your Goyou Defender won't power up!"

"Tch...Trap Activate! Goyou Defense! During this turn, whenever a Goyou monster would be destroyed, the destruction is negated and the Goyou monster gains 500 ATK!" The second man shouted.

"That won't matter! Due to Abyss Script Fantasy Magic, your monster's are returned to the hand when destroyed! And since they are Synchro monsters, they'll be sent to the extra deck!" Sawatari shouted as his monster's blast consumed the warrior. And due to his spell's effect, the monster was sent to the extra deck.

ARREST CORPS 2: 3100-1600 LP

"Big Star, Attack his second Goyou Defender!" Sawatari shouted as his monster shot another blue blast that consumed the synchro monster.

ARREST CORPS 2: 1600-100 LP

"Finally, Attack his last Goyo Defender, Big Star!This is the end for you!" Sawatari shouted as his monster shot an even more powerful blue blast that consumed the Synchro duelist and the second arrest corps member, sending him flying.

ARREST CORPS 2: 100-0 LP

"Alright! Turn End!" Sawatari shouted as he and his two monsters bowed.

"Alright! It's my turn! I activate the spell card Monster Reborn! Revive, X-Saber Souza!" Yaiba shouted as his monster returned.

X-Saber Souza (2500/1600) LVL: 7

"Next, I activate the spell card Saber Slash! This card allows me to destroy monsters on my opponent's field equal to the number of X-Saber monsters on my field! Now, say goodbye to two of your Defenders!" Yaiba shouted before his two monsters charged forward and destroyed the Defenders.

"What?!"

"Now you only have one left! This is the end! Battle! X-Saber Wayne, Attack Goyou Defender!" Yaiba shouted as his cowboy-like monster slashed through the synchro monster.

ARREST CORPS 1: 3100-2000 LP

"Direct attack, X-Saber Souza! End this!" Yaiba commanded his warrior as he jumped through the air and slammed his sword into the man, sending him flying backwards.

"GAAAAH!"

ARREST CORPS1: 2000-0 LP

WINNER: SAWATARI, YAIBA, and MASUMI

"Let's go!" Sawatari jumped up in the air and cheered while Yaiba stood proudly and Masumi smirked at the sight of victory.

"Good. Now, let's get going." Yuya told the other who nodded back before making their way to the latter that led to their escape.

"It's nice to see you guys again." Crow smiled at the sight of Gongenzaka, Shun, Roy, Hokuto, Yuto, Yugo, Dennis, Yuzu, Serena, and Tokumatsu showing up.

"Where's Yuya's group?!" Yuzu panicked.

"Don't worry, Yuzu. I'm sure their fine." Yugo comforted the girl before everyone heard footsteps.

"Guys!" Yuya shouted as he, Sawatari, Yaiba, and Masumi appeared.

"Guys, you're ok!" Yuzu shouted with a relieved tone.

"Is everyone here?" Yuya asked.

"Yeah. Now all we have to do is swim to the other side and we are home free!" Shinji shouted before he and Crow jumped into the water.

"Let's get the hell out of here!" Yugo cheerfully shouted as he jumped into the water.

"What?! I wasn't aware that I had to get wet!" Sawatari complained.

"Oh shut up." Gongenzaka said as he grabbed the boys jacket collar before jumping in the water causing him to yell.

"Time to get out of here!" Masumi shouted as she jumped into the water. Hokuto, Roy, and Yaiba followed her.

"Let's get this show on the road!" Dennis shouted as he backflipped into the water.

"I'm finally free! Enjoy!" Tokumatsu shouted with a tone full of happiness as he jumped into the water.

"Let's go, Yuto!" Shun said to his friend who nodded back before both jumped in the water.

"Finally, we can get back to defeating Academia!" Serena shouted before jumping in the water. This just left Yuya and Yuzu alone.

"Let's go together, Yuya." Yuzu said, extending her hand out.

"Yeah, let's go!" Yuya grasped her hand before the two jumped in the water and began to swim.

They were finally free.

Or...that's what they thought.

Suddenly, a spot light shined on the group, causing them to stop.

"You are under arrest!" Multiple officers on the shore shouted.

"No..." Yuya uttered in disbelief.

"How the hell did they know?!" Damon shouted.

A blonde man in purple clothes walked out as two officers holding a plump man with tan hair who clearly looked beaten.

"Shinji...Crow...Damon...I'm sorry..." The transport said as he teared up before being taken away.

"Tony!" Damon, Shinji, and Crow shouted in concern and shock.

The group was forced out of the water and were put into a large transport truck. All except a certain two people.

"Take the girls who look like twins separately." Roget told his officers, who went to grab Yuzu and Serena.

"Hey! Don't touch her!" Yuya shouted, trying to protect Yuzu, but was thrown in the car.

"What do you want with us?!" Serena shouted.

"Why have you been trying to take us?!" Yuzu yelled.

Roget just ignored the girls and smiled. He had what he needed. Everything was going perfectly. Or so he thought.

Suddenly, a helicopter flew in and landed causing everyone to be surprised. Men in white uniforms walked out of the helicopter and over to Roget.

"Under the council's orders, these people will be coming with us." One man in white said.

"I can't not allow that. These people have been resisting arrest and escaped from the facility which are two great crimes along with many other crimes. They will be taken with me." Roget told the men.

"We cannot allow this."

Suddenly, 5 holograms of older people appeared in front of Roget. The women named Azul had short purple hair and blue clothes. The man named Bordeaux had dark short hair and red clothing. The man named Gael had dark purple hair and a yellow outfit. The man named Gray had brown hair and grey and orange clothing. The man who spoke named White Taki had white hair and white clothing.

"Executive Counci..." Roget nervously muttered. 'What the hell do these old bastards want of them?!'

"We will be the ones to judge them." Gael told the man.

"Bring them all to us at once." Azul commanded.

"That is an order." Gray added.

"Right, Chairman?" Bordeaux asked the elder man.

"Yes, I do hope you cooperate so there will be no consequences." White Taki said with a smile.

"Tch...of course. I will bring them to you immediately..." Roget told the group of holograms.

Later

The Lancers, Crow, Shinji, Damon, and Tokumatsu were all standing in handcuffs and were inside a extremely nice looking room with the 5 council members sitting high above them on their thrones.

"You bastards! Where is Tony?!" Shinji shouted.

"Relax. Your friend is currently being given medical treatment for cooperating with us." Roget told him.

"Only after you had him nearly beaten to death!" Shinji shouted.

"At least your friend will be given freedom for cooperating, unlike you." Roget smirked at the synchro resident.

"That is enough." Gael told the two. "Now, Roget. Would you like tosay anything?"

"As a matter of fact, I would. These criminals have committed countless crimes. Some of them were caught in a underground dueling arena.Others were beating upmembers of Security. And others were spreading nonsense about a "Dimensional War" which is absurd and disturbed the lives of Tops." Roget explained.

"It isn't nonsense! It's true!" Yuzu shouted.

"Sure it is." Roget laughed before turning to the council and gaining his serious expression back. "They have also tried to escape from the facility and resisted arrest and detainment multiple times."

"It's only because of the crazy ass officers!" Sawatari shouted.

"Either way, resisting Security is one of the greatest crimes you can commit." Roget said.

"But it was self defense! They kept attacking us!" Yuya argued.

"Then you should have submitted." Roget said which made the boy grunt in anger.

"That's not fair! Ever since we've arrived in this dimension, you have been chasing us!" Yuya shouted.

"Did you hear that? He said that they arrived in this dimension." Roget pointed out.

"Dimension? What does that mean, Yuya?" Tokumatsu asked. The only synchro resident that already knew about the Lancers was Crow.

"It explains why they are able to use summoning methods such as Pendulum, Ritual, Fusion, and Xyz." Roget told the council. "So in order to find out the truth, my men were ordered to capture these individuals."

"What about us?" Crow asked referring to him and Shinji.

"You, Crow Hogan, were caught harboring fugitives and you, Shinji Weber, were resisting arrest. Also, you both assisted these people in escaping Security when they first arrived." Roget explained.

"Crow Hogan, is that you? It's nice to see you again, my boy. I bet Jack would love to see you." White Taki told the black feather duelist.

"Would he..." Crow grunted.

"Is this all true, Yuya?" Tokumatsu asked.

"Yeah...we came here from the Standard Dimension. We didn't come to this dimension to cause trouble. We came to gather allies to fight against the Fusion Dimension!" Yuya explained.

"Shun and I are from the Xyz Dimension, which has already been destroyed by Academia! If you don't believe us, they'll wipe out this dimension too!" Yuto shouted.

"How could we possibly know that you are telling the truth? All you've done since you've been in this dimension is constantly break our greatest laws." Roget retaliated.

"You have to believe us!" Yugo loudly shouted causing everyone to turn to him.

"You have something to say, boy?" Gray asked.

"Yes. Look...unlike them, I am actually a resident of this dimension." Yugo began.

"Aren't you the one who defeated the three duel chasers along with the pink haired girl?" Azul asked.

"Yeah, that's right. I am a common and I accidentally traveled between dimensions. I have seen what the Fusion Dimension has done to the Xyz Dimension and I helped these people fight back against the Fusion Dimension in the Standard Dimension! Everything is true!" Yugo shouted.

"That's correct." A older teen's voice said, causing everyone to look upwards.

Walking down the stairs was Reiji along with Tsukikage and Reira.

"Reiji!" Sawatari shouted in a happy and relieved tone.

"Reiji..." Yuya grunted, stilled being pissed at the older teen.

"So this is where you guys have been..." Serena muttered.

"Us Lancers have come to this dimension to protect it from Academia and to gain allies." Reiji told Roget.

"Lancers?" Shinji asked.

"Why don't we just lay all of our cards on the table? We are duel soldiers from made up from duelists across the dimensions, known as the Lancers." Sawatari proudly said.

"You, a duel soldier?" Tokumatsu questioned.

"OF COURSE!" Sawatari angrily shouted.

"We need to join forces in the Interdimensional War or all of the Dimensions could be eradicated!" Yuya yelled.

"HAHAHAHA!" Roget madly laugh.

"What do funny?" Yaiba angrily shouted.

"It's just that...your claims are...so ridiculous." Roget said.

"Why you-!" Sawatari angrily shouted.

"Enough!" Bordeaux shouted before turning to Gael.

"We have heard the story from Reiji Akaba." Gael explained.

"About the war." Gray said.

"And about the Lancers." Azul said.

"Right, Chairman?" Bordeaux asked.

"Yes. That is correct." White Taki said.

"What? After you made us explain it all?!" Hokuto angrily shouted.

"We needed to make sure your stories matched." White Taki said.

"What? You all just believe them?!" Roget shouted.

"We don't know if we believe them entirely yet." Gael said.

"But we do believe the fact that they cake from another dimension." Gray said.

"You know this is true since that is the reason you've taken them into custody is to learn their motives, right?" Azul said.

"Their motives indeed...how do we know they aren't the true invaders?" Roget asked.

"What?!" Yuya shouted.

"Don't be stupid!" Sawatari shouted.

"You are speaking nonsense!" Gongenzaka shouted.

'This guy...it's almost as if he is trying to make us out as bad guys for his own motives...' Yuto thought to himself.

"We aren't the invaders!" Hokuto shouted.

"The invaders are Academia!" Masumi shouted.

"We have said countless times that we have come to this dimension to help protect it!" Roy shouted.

"That isn't your job. We haven't asked you all to help protect us. That is Security's role." Roget argued.

"Stop being a stubborn prick and believe us!" Yugo shouted.

"It is Security's job to protect Neo Domino City. So, it up to Security to determine your motives." Roget said.

"No, it's ours." Gael spoke out, making Roget pissed.

"That's why we have put them under the executive council's supervision."

"All of us?! But I am clearly from this dimension!" Tokumatsu shouted.

"There are no exceptions since you allied yourself with them." Azul said.

"No way!" Tokumatsu comically yelled.

"In order to see if you are truly on our side, we will need you to prove it." Bordeaux explained.

"Prove it?" Yaiba said.

"How?" Yuya asked.

"...By participating in the Friendship Cup." Reiji told them.

"EEEHHH?!" Everyone shouted.

"That is the Executive Council's wish. They want us Lancers to be in the tournament to demonstrate our capabilities as duel soldiers." Reiji explained.

"Does that mean us too?!" Damon shouted.

"Yes, it does." Gray said.

"What?! Why?!" Shinji shouted.

"There are no exceptions." Azul said again.

"...I have only heard rumors about the great city tournament...and I get to participate..." Tokumatsu said in awe.

"Personally, I'd love to see it. You are one of the main reasons that the friendship cup was formed." White Taki explained.

"What?! I am?!" Tokumatsu asked with a surprised tone.

"After you were arrested, the youth in the commons began to rebel and started participating in riding duels. To crack down on them, Security was formed. But the more we cracked down, the greater the chaos grew. So, in order to keep things peaceful between the tops and commons, the Friendship Cup was created. By having 3 on 3 riding duels, teamwork and unison was represented, which also represented the unison in the city. The winners would be given great power and responsibility to represent Tops and Commons. Or at least, that is how it use to be." White Taki explained before turning to Crow.

"Use to be?" Yuya asked.

"Crow Hogan, along with Jack Atlas and Kiryu Kyosuke, won the Friendship cup years ago. After winning, Crow Hogan and Kiryu Kyosuke wished not to be given power. Instead, Jack Atlas inherited all of the power and became King of the city." White Taki said.

"Yeah yeah. I already told most of them that already." Crow said with a pissed tone. "I didn't want to become a power hungry top! I wanted to prove the power and worth of a common!"

"Now, since there is one king instead of a group of leaders, the winners of the Friendship get the opportunity to challenge the King separately, if they choose to. And if they win, they get his power." White Taki said.

"I'm not taking part in this tournament! Not again! I won't risk everything to put on a show for the tops!" Crow shouted.

"I understand how you feel. But this way, you can show the kids that you are ok." Shinji told Crow.

"Alright! Now we get to spread our entertainment dueling across the dimension, Yuya!" Sawatari excitedly yelled.

"Damn it! You guys are being ridiculous!" Yuya shouted causing everyone to turn to him.

"Yuya?!" Yuzu said in concern.

"We can't just sit here and take part in some tournament when Academia could attack at any minute!" Yuya shouted.

"We need to do this to gain the council's trust. This is necessary" Reiji said.

"Heh...just like letting us get ambushed by Academia during the Miami Championship was "necessary"?" Yuya said, glaring at Reiji. This caused everyone to go silent for a moment.

"I agree...as much as I would love to participate, we don't have the time! I need to save my Rin!" Yugo also shouted.

'These two have some vigor...it will be easier to exploit their anger then the Xyz one...' Roget thought to himself.

"I'm sorry, but this is something we need to do..." Reiji told the two.

"...Fine..." Yuya grunted with his eyes focused on Reiji.

"You will randomly be assigned to teams to keep everything fair." Gael explained.

"You will find out who's on your team by tomorrow." Gray added.

"I...also agree they should participate in our annual Friendship Cup. But I have one request as well." Roget said.

"A request?" Masumi asked.

"What is it?" Roy asked.

"Every year, during the Friendship Cup's opening ceremony, the reigning king holds an exhibition match." Roget explained.

"What are you getting at?" Yugo impatiently asked.

"Why not...let him be the one to face the king...?" Roget said, pointing in the direction of the Lancers.

The one he was pointing at was...

YUYA or YUGO

VOTE NOW IN THE REVIEWS!

CHOOSE HOW DESTINY IS ALTERED!

---

Hey everyone! I was really trying to wrap my head around who should duel the king. Hell, I can't even decide who the hell should even win the whole damn tournament. So, I will leave the vote open for a few days. Drop either Yuya or Yugo in a PM or a review. Please vote because I really want to do the right thing for you guys.

Note: The duel will be much longer than 3 turns, unlike the anime. So choose wisely because either way, the duel will be intense!

So, this was a pretty long chapter, eh? I really wanted to include the whole prison break during this chapter and I manage to do it! I wanted to include some characters that didn't get a chance to duel yet. Now, I'm pretty sure I have written a duel for everyone except for Tsukikage and Shun. As for Tsukikage, I really haven't seen a need to have him duel yet. As for Shun, he is honestly one of my favorite Yugioh characters of all time and the only reason I didn't have him duel this chapter was that he is going to get a lot of duels in the future compared to other characters.

Also, I completely forgot about Tokumatsu when making teams, so I got rid of Tony and replaced him with Tokumatsu. Also, I gave Damon a tiny backstory, which will be touched on later.

About the battle royal, this was loads of fun to write. I know I used a lot of Action Cards but it wasn't a serious duel and the purpose was to entertain the crowd. Serious duels won't use to many action cards. I hope you all enjoyed it.

About Hokuto and Roy's duel, instead of using a generic Goyou monster, I decided to make one of my own. Also, I had Roy use his Pendulum cards which were fun to make. I hope you guys enjoyed it.

About Sawatari, Yaiba, and Masumi's duel, that was honestly a challenge. Goyou King made this duel a bitch to write with it's stealing monster effect by I managed to get around it. I hope you enjoyed it!

Comments:

Ktsparks: Thanks so much! I'm glad you think I wrote Yuya good. Honestly, I think he was so close to becoming a really great protag. If he just balanced dueling seriously in important duels, while entertaining the crowd in other duels, he would have been great! I also agree that Yuya trying to make the Obelisk Force smile when Shun got hurt was a big no no. And it looked even worst since he was about to lose if Kaito didn't interfere. Please keep reviewing and vote on either Yuya or Yugo!

Sage the Hedgehog: Thanks for reviewing! I agree with what you said about Sawatari in the manga. It felt too weird for him to be so serious. I'm glad you like the direction I'm taking. And as I addressed earlier, Shun hasn't dueled yet. I love Shun, but I didn't give him a duel since I wanted to focus on other characters. And he will get plenty duels later on. Please keep reviewing and vote on either Yuya or Yugo!

charly12: I'm glad you liked the duels and I had a lot of fun writing the Sawatari duel. I did know about why Roget kept Serena on her own but I wanted to do the skit at the end so I added Masumi in too. Please keep reviewing and vote on either Yuya or Yugo!

E.T 2000: I'm glad you are back bro! I agree about the dragons and Yuya will be using cards like Enlightment Paladin and Laugh Maker a lot more as the series goes on. I actually think you are incorrect about the graveyard rule in the WRGP. I looked on the Yugioh Wiki after reading your review and saw this, "If 1 person on the team loses, all remaining cards on the field of that person are moved, if applicable, to the field of the next person on the team to Duel, and the turn immediately advances to the End Phase. The losing player is still on the Duel during the end phase and can activate card effects (if able). The Graveyard does not move with the other cards." But, thank you for bringing this up. Please keep reviewing and vote on either Yuya or Yugo!

Who will be chosen to face the king? Find out next time on Yugioh Arc V Altered Destiny! The fun has just begun!
