Yuri was staring at Ruri with a creepy look. This made Ruri start sweating bullets, something that Yuri got happy about. He always relished getting a fearful reaction out of his victims.
"Are you alright? You seem pretty scared there. Tell you what, since I'm SUCH a 'nice' guy, I'll let you go first." Yuri told her with a grin, putting emphasis on such and putting imaginary quotes over nice to signify the fact that he is the complete opposite.
"F-Fine then. My turn, draw! If there are no Monsters on my Field, I can Special Summon Lyrical Luscinia - Silver Robin!" Ruri exclaimed as her loyal bird flocked to the Field.
Silver Robin: Level 1, 300 Atk, 100 Def
"Her effect activates, I can add one Lyrical Luscinia Monster from my Deck to my Hand! I add Sapphire Swallow! Now, when I control a Lyrical Luscinia Monster I can Special Summon Sapphire Swallow from my Hand along with a another Level 1 Monster! Come forth! Cobalt Sparrow!" Ruri exclaimed.
Sapphire Swallow: Level 1, 100 Atk, 0 Def
Cobalt Sparrow: Level 1, 0 Atk, 100 Def
"Hoh, that's three Monsters already, not bad." Yuri complimented with a slightly impressed gleam in their eyes. "However, they're all weak."
"Just wait, Cobalt Sparrow's effect activates, when she is Special Summoned I can add another one to my Hand! I now Normal Summon a second Cobalt Sparrow!" Ruri placed the Card onto her Duel Disk, and with a bright shine of light appeared a second copy of Cobalt Sparrow.
"Now, using the two Level 1 Cobalt Sparrow, Sapphire Swallow, and Silver Robin, I overlay! Birds with beautiful wings! Gather on the battlefield and take brilliant flight! Xyz Summon! Dance in the sky! Rank 1! Lyrical Luscinia - Assembly Nightingale!" Ruri chanted as her ace Monster appeared in front of her.
Assembly Nightingale: Rank 1, 0 Atk, 0 Def
"An Xyz Summon with for Monsters! Impressive, but that Monster doesn't have any Attack Points. It's useless." Yuri told Ruri.
Ruri ignored him, but even ignoring him wasn't enough to get rid of the fear running up her spine. "Assembly Nightingale gains 100 Attack for every overlay unit attached to it. She has 4, so she gains 400 Attack Points!"
Assembly Nightingale: 0-400 Atk
"I end my turn." Ruri concluded.
"Time for some fun! My turn, draw! I Summon Predator Plants Ophrys Scorpio!" Yuri bellowed, clearly thrilled to begin.
Ophrys Scorpio: Level 3, 1200 Atk, 800 Def
"I use it's effect, I discard Stapelia Work in order to Special Summon Predator Plants Darling Cobra!" Yuri said. As he discarded the Monster, a cobra appeared next to Ophrys Scorpio.
Darling Cobra: Level 3, 1000 Atk, 1500 Def
"His effect activates, I can Fusion from my Deck to my Hand!" Yuri explained. Ruri shuddered in fear after hearing the name of that Card. She still couldn't get over the fact that this boy had the exact same face as Yuto, but acted completely different.
"Hmm. That Monster I'd weak, but it might be a bait. So, I'll battle! Go, Scorpio, attack Assembly Nightingale!" Yuri exclaimed. Scorpio leaped at Nightingale, however, the attack collided with an invisible shield.
Ruri quickly reacted. "I use Assembly Nightingale effect, by detaching an overlay unit, I can negate the destruction, and I don't take damage!" Ruri exclaimed.
"But, your Monster loses 100 Attack, and my Cobra can attack! Which will happen now!" Yuri announced as his Monster pounced. Cobra tried to rap itself around Nightingale, but the shield prevented it from doing so.
Assembly Nightingale: 400-200 Atk
"Hmm, you know what, I'm feeling daring today, I end my turn." Yuri concluded with a smirk, completely neglecting his Fusion Card.
Ruri gasped out of shock. Just like that, he isn't going to use Fusion. He's just going to end his turn. He is so sure of his victory that he is holding back!
"My turn, draw! I discard Lyrical Luscinia - Booster! Now, her effect activates, I can target one Xyz Monster I control, then, I can target Monsters in the Grave up to the amount of overlay units the Xyz Monster currently has, then, I can attach the Monsters to the Xyz Monster as Material." Ruri explained as she looked to her ace Monster. "Assembly Nightingale has two overlay units, so I attach two Cobalt Sparrows as Materials."
Assembly Nightingale: 200-400 Atk
"Ok. What is that 400 Attack Monster going to do?" Yuri asked with confusion.
"Assembly Nightingale can attack you directly equal to the amount of overlay units she currently has. So, she can attack you directly 4 times!" Ruri exclaimed.
"What? That's not bad." Yuri said but was cut off by a four kicks to the face by Assembly Nightingale. He grimaced, regaining his balance as the Monster finished its onslaught.
Yuri: 4000-2400 LP
"Well, that was very rude!" Yuri cried, pretending to sound hurt.
"I set one Card and end my turn." Ruri concluded.
"Time to end this! My turn, draw! I activate Fusion! I fuse Ophrys Scorpio and Darling Cobra! Two beautiful flowers with an insect-alluring fragrance! Now become one, and from the hell beneath your petals, give birth to a new terror! Fusion Summon! Appear! Poisonous dragon with hungry fangs. Level 8! Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!" Yuri chanted as his ace Monster appeared.
Starve Venom: Level 8, 2800, 2000 Def
"What is that? This pressure, it's so immense!" Ruri said with awe. She glanced down at the feeling of a sudden shaking. She blinked to see her hands shaking uncontrollably to the point the Cards in her hand were nearly slipping through her fingers.
"Starve Venom's effect activates, he gains Attack equal to the amount of Attack of all Special Summoned Monsters you control!" Yuri explained.
Starve Venom: 2800-3200 Atk
"I can still use Assembly Nightingale's effect though." Ruri reminded with a ghost of a smile.
"I know that. You think I forgot?" Yuri questioned with a raised eyebrow. "I'm not stupid. Anyways, I activate Instant Fusion! I pay 1000 Life Points in order to Special Summon a Level 5 or lower Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck, however, it can't attack! I Special Summon Predator Plants Toxic Flower!"
Yuri: 2400-1400 LP
Toxic Flower: Level 5, 1900 Atk, 2300 Def
"I use Toxic Flower's effect, once per turn, I can shuffle a Predator Plants Monster back into my Deck, then, I can choose Monster on the Field, then those Monster's effects are negated! I shuffle Ophrys Scorpio into the Deck and negate Assembly Nightingale's effect!" Yuri explained.
"What? That means..." Ruri trailed off as she saw her Assembly Nightingale gain a purple aura as it fell to the ground.
Assembly Nightingale: 400-0 Atk
"That's right, no protection effects or Attack Points! Now, I'll fix my last problem now! I Summon Predator Plants Cephalotusnail!" Yuri exclaimed.
Cephalotusnail: Level 4, 1300 Atk, 1200 Def
"Oh no!" Ruri gaped with wide eyes.
Meanwhile, Sayaka was walking through a destroyed building near the two, but not so close that they could see or hear her. She saw Ruri Dueling someone, and hid behind the building, scared.
"You put up a good fight... I suppose. Well, you did better than my other opponents. Now then, let's finish this! Battle! Go, Cephalotusnail, attack Assembly Nightingale!" Yuri declared as Assembly Nightingale was destroyed knocking Ruri backwards, who whimpered in pain.
Ruri: 4000-2700 LP
"Now end this, Starve Venom Fusion, attack her directly! Starving Toxic Blast!" Yuri yelled as Starve Venom released a toxic substance that blasted Ruri off of her feet.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ruri screamed as she crashed into the rubble behind her.
Ruri: 2400-0 LP
Meanwhile, Sayaka just looked on in fear as Yuri walked up to the unconscious Ruri, who was covered in dirt and rubble. She wanted to do something to help her friend, but for some reason she couldn't move. It was like her body had a mind of their own, and it was screaming at the other mind that it was best to just stay put. Yuri picked up Ruri and held her over his shoulder.
"The Professor is going to be happy! Time to go back to Academia!" Yuri exclaimed with a smile as he transported back to Academia with Ruri, disappearing in a bright blue light along with the girl.
That was the breaking moment for Sayaka. She lost it and ran away, back towards the camp.
Hours Later-At the Camp
"Yuto, do you know where Ruri is?" Rio asked, her eyes heavy from the lack of sleep.
"No, I haven't seen her ever since she left to get supplies." Yuto responded, holding back a yawn.
"You don't think she was captured by Academia do you?" Rio asked with worry, her eyes suddenly filled with concen.
With that, Yuto got up. "I don't know. I'll get Shun and some others and we'll search. Hopefully, the worst that happened was that Ruri got lost and that she is safe."
Later
"Shun! Ruri hasn't came in a while, we and some other people should go looking for her." Yuto told Shun, who got pissed.
"Damn! Alright, I'll go get Allen, Shark, and some others to come." Shun responded, inwardly concerned, hoping that the worst didn't happen to her sister. Now, she was all that he had left of their family. He didn't what he would do if she were gone.
"I'll go start the search early." Yuto told Shun.
"Wait, Yuto, Shun." Shark said as he walked towards them.
"What's up?" Shun asked.
"Dr. Faker and O'Brien are done making the materials we need. They made some communicators and... they put a Carding function into some of the Duel Disks. So, you guys should get your Duel Disks back now." Shark told them. This was something Yuto flinched at. He wanted to avoid Carding people if possible.
"Alright, thanks Shark. Well, we'll head out later then." Yuto told Shun, who nodded in agreement.
Later-On the Search Outside of the Camp
"We should split up." Allen suggested, to which most of the other Resistance members with him agreed to.
"Are you sure?" Shark enquired with narrowed eyes, scanning the area for any traces of Ruri, but to no avail.
"No, Allen's right. We should split up, we can cover more ground that way." Shun stated with a focused tone.
"I'll go alone." Yuto told them, to which the three of them gasped.
"Are you crazy?!" Shark asked with shock.
"Yuto, you're going to be an easy target alone." Allen told him.
"Plus, I noticed that for the most of this war, Academia has been attacking in numbers, something we are dropping in. We can't afford to lose you, you're one of our best Duelists. So if we lose you, we would have lost one of our best soldiers. Plus, your our friend. We don't want to lose you." Shark added.
"He's right you know." Shun told Yuto.
"No, I'll be fine, really. Tell you this, if I am in trouble, I'll just call you guys, deal?" Yuto asked.
Allen, Shark, and Shun got into a group huddle to talk about this decision.
"He said he'll call us." Allen said.
"But that's not enough." Shun said.
"Maybe we should go along with it, I mean, it's Yuto. Knowing him, if we say no, he's going to leave later." Shark told them.
"Then it's decided, we'll let Yuto leave for a bit. But we're going to meet up later." Shun told them. They turned back to Yuto, who was already gone.
"And he's not here anymore." Allen said.
"I think he thought that we were going to say no. So he just left while he had the chance." Shark said.
"Ugh, whatever. We'll have to find him later. Let's try finding Ruri." Shun told them as he, Allen, and Shark joined the other Resistance members in their search for Ruri.
Fusion Dimension-Academia-Professor's Throne Room
"Here she is, the girl you told me to get." Yuri said with a satisfied smile, presenting the unconscious Ruri to his leader, the Professor.
"Excellent work, Yuri. There is one more girl I need you to get, then you can take a temporary break. Here she is." The Professor told Yuri as he pulled a screen of Rin, a resident of the Synchro Dimension.
"Oh, it's the one you told me to keep an eye on for a while." Yuri's gaze heightened, his eyes beaming with recognition.
"Yes. Now is the time to take her, get to it." The Professor commanded.
"Yes Professor." Yuri responded as he walked out of the Professor's throne room.
Another Area in Acadcemia
"Oi, you. Do you know where my brother is?" A young man in blue asked a student in yellow.
"I don't know. What's your brother's name?" The student responded.
"Sho Marufuji." The man replied.
"Oh crap! You're Ryo Marufuji?! Your brother umm... Got Carded by the Professor... For speaking out against his plans of attacking the Xyz Dimension.", The student said slowly, afraid of how the man would react.
"What?!" Ryo blurted out in shock. He knew something was up. Ryo particularly wasn't interested in the war. Actually, he had the idea. But now his brother was gone because of it, and he didn't fight! Ryo was pissed now, soon he was going to disband from Academia. However, he decided to play it cool.
"Ok. Thank you for telling me." Ryo responded. He seemed calm on the outside, but on the inside, he was really pissed. The Professor Carded his brother. He already thought about leaving Academia because of the Dimensional War, he was disgusted by the idea. But he stayed. For whatever reason, he stayed. And now he was definitely going to leave. However, he had to get his brother's Card back somehow.
I'll need to leave Academia. Get some people who will believe me. Then, I can head back here and hopefully overthrow Academia. Plus, the same thing that happened to his brother happened to the people in Heartland. So, he was going to force the Professor on answers, answers on how to return the Carded people to normal.
Synchro Dimension-1 Hour Ago
Yugo was currently playing around with the younger kids in the orphanage. Meanwhile, Rin appeared in her normal attire.
"Oi, Yugo! I'm going to go to the nearby store and buy some supplies. I'll be back in 45 minutes." Rin told Yugo, who looked up at her.
"Alright! Be careful Rin." Yugo told her. He now knew about Rin's anxieties about always being watched recently. If it were some mugger or creep looking to cop a feel with the girl, then she had to be as careful as could be. Normally, he wouldn't abide by Rin going alone, but when he protested Rin gave him a good beating over the subject, saying she could take care of herself.
"Don't worry about me." Rin responded with a smile as she left.
Now
Rin was currently running away from a cloaked figure. She was coming back from the store after finding nothing useful, only to be followed by this guy. Rin knew that it was the same person who had been watching her for the past couple of weeks. Eventually, Rin ran into a dead end, and with no way to go, she turned around with a frightened look on her face, the cloaked person inched closer. Rin took a good look at her pursuer and then realized the person's face looked very similar to Yugo, a spitting image in fact.
"This game of tag is over. Now, come with me." Yuri said.
"Yugo! Is that you?" Rin asked with wide, fearful eyes.
"No. Gosh you're like the other girl. I am Yuri thank you very much." Yuri responded with a hint of annoyance, changing from giving Rin a malicious look to a serious look. Rin took a step back.
Other girl?
"What do you want?" Rin asked.
"Come, I'll take you to the Professor." Yuri told Rin.
"P-professor? What is that?"
"A fricking daycare at the Zoo. Oh what the hell do you think a Professor is!" Yuri exclaimed with clear annoyance in his voice.
"Anyways, come with me." Yuri pleaded as he got a malicious grin and took a step closer to Rin, who stepped back again.
"So, are you coming with me? Or are you going to fight?" Yuri asked with interest.
Rin reached into the back pocket of her shorts, she pulled out a Duel Disk. She then revealed it to Yuri and put it on, immediately activating it.
"Hoh, you want to Duel? Fine then. But, trust me on this, you won't be winning!" Yuri exclaimed as Rin began to sweat. Yuri activated his Duel Disk and took a few steps back.
"DUEL!"
Heartland
"Ruri! Ruri!" Yuto cried out at the top of his lungs as he ran around the wreckage of Heartland. He has been searching for a while now, but there was still no sign of Ruri.
"Shun. Shun, have you found anything?" Yuto asked Shun through his communicator that was in his ear.
"Nothing yet. Damn!" Shun cursed through his communicator back to Yuto.
"Should we meet up?" Yuto asked.
There was a long pause between the two, until Shun broke the silence. "Keep looking for about a half an hour. After that, contact me."
"Alright!"
Minutes Later
Yuto was looking around, finally taking a second to look at the destroyed city that was once his home. This place used to be so peaceful, but in a few hours that all changed.
"No matter what, I will return everything to normal!"Yuto yelled.
"That sounds nice. But keep telling yourself that in a Card!" A voice exclaimed.
"What!" Yuto exclaimed as he turned towards the voice. He saw a soldier in blue with a mask on his face.
Obelisk Force. This must be those people that Rio and Kaito told me about! I need to be careful. Yuto thought to himself.
"So, I see you have a Duel Disk. You're a member of that Resistance group thing, right?" Obelisk Force asked.
"Yeah, but that's all I'm going to tell you!" Yuto responded.
"Whatever. Anyways, either let me Card you or Duel me for your survival!" Obelisk Force proposed as he activated his Duel Disk.
"Fine! I will! For the sake of the future of Heartland and it's people! I will survive and fight another day! That's how we of the Resistance fight!" Yuto exclaimed as he also activated his Duel Disk.
"DUEL!"
At the Resistance Camp
"Dr. Faker. I might have found a way to help win this war!" O'Brien said.
"Hmm. What is it? Anything to help end this war, then that is fine." Dr. Faker responded.
"Well, I Dueled one of the soldiers and interrogated them. They told me that the Professor had a son. His name is Akaba Reiji, while the father is named Akaba Leo. The soldier also told me Leo's son is in the dimension known as Standard. For some reason, Leo is in the Fusion Dimension. Anyway, my idea was to make it so our Duel Disks could allow us to travel between dimensions. We go to Standard, then we draw out Akaba Reiji and capture him. Then, we use him as bribing material in order to get out Leo." O'Brien lied. He wasn't lying about Reiji being Leo's son. He was lying about the fact that he beat a soldier to get the information. He already knew this before coming to the Xyz Dimension.
"Hmm. That's not a bad idea. We do have the Duel Disk Shun took from the soldiers. We could make a Dimensional Transportation device based off their device. However, to do that, I will need your help. So how about it?" Faker asked as he held out a hand.
"I'll help. We will end this war." O'Brien responded as he shook Faker's hand.
"Good to know that you're on our side." Faker told O'Brien with a small smile. "I use to admit, for a youngster like yourself you sure know a lot about this kind of stuff. Kind of like me and Kaito. Very impressive." Faker added.
"Thank you. But it's nothing really. Anyways, we should take a little break, then get to work on the Dimensional Transporter." O'Brien told Faker as he started to walk away.
"Perhaps you're right. This old man might break if he doesn't get a break sooner or later." Faker told O'Brien with a small laugh."Wow, it's been a while since I had a genuine laugh."
"Hopefully that normal laugh will return if we defeat Academia." O'Brien said, to which Faker nodded, as they left their tent to go do something else.
Synchro Dimension
"I'll go first. My turn! I activate the Magic Card Wind-Calling Bell Chime! I can reveal one Level 4 or lower Windwitch Monster in my Hand, then, I can Special Summon a Windwitch Monster with the same name from my Deck! I reveal Windwitch - Glass Bell, in order to Special Summon a second one from my Deck!" Rin explained as her Monster appeared in a rush of cold wind.
Glass Bell: Level 4, 1500 Atk, 1500 Def
"Her effect activates, I can add a Windwitch Monster from my Deck to my Hand! I add Ice Bell! Now I Normal Summon Ice Bell!" Rin exclaimed.
"Now her effect activates, once per turn, if she is Normal or Special Summoned, I can deal 500 points of damage to you!" Rin pointed to Yuri as a gust of wind blew into Yuri's face, making his cloak fly back, however, Yuri had it hooked to his jacket, so it stayed on Yuri, however, Rin managed to see his Academia clothes.
Yuri: 4000-3500 LP
"Those clothes! You're from the Tops!" Rin exclaimed with shock. There was no way he could have such neat, clean, fancy clothes if he was from the Commons. That was the only explanation for it.
"Cute, because I am the top Duelist from where I come from, but no. I come from a prestigious school called Academia. If you didn't know, it's a school where students are taught Dueling! However, our leader, the Professor, has a plan to make a perfect world! However, his plan includes 4 girls, you are one of them. The Professor already has two of them. One of them actually takes classes at Academia. However, despite her skill as a Duelist, she is treated like trash! I almost feel bad for her honestly. And the other one, well, yours truly brought her to Academia by force! Just like I am going to do to you right now!" Yuri grinned as he slit his eyes like a serpent, immediately sending chills down Rin's spine.
"I tune the Level 3 Ice Bell with the Level 4 Glass Bell!" Rin declared, fighting through the creepy feeling she was getting off the boy. Glass Bell turned into four green rings while Ice Bell transformed into three white orbs that flew in the rings. "Midwinter wind. Make ice and snow my power and blow through!" A wave of green light flushed through the rings as Rin Summoned her Monster. "Synchro Summon! Appear! Level 7! Windwitch - Winter Bell!"
Winter Bell: Level 7, 2400 Atk, 2000 Def
"Oh, a Synchro Summon? Very impressive. Actually, I'm a little excited, this is the first time I have ever fought a Synchro Monster before! I hope you entertain me." Yurt told Rin with a smile, creeping Rin out even more.
"I use Winter Bell's effect, I can target one Level 4 or lower Windwitch Monster in my Grave, then, until the end of the turn, the feet of this Card becomes that Monster's effect! I choose Ice Bell! Which means you get dealt. 500 more points of damage!" Rim explained as Yuri was hit by another gust of wind.
Yuri: 3500-3000 LP
"I set a Card and end my turn." Rin concluded.
"That's it? Wow, and I expected more! My turn, draw! I activate Fusion! I am going to fuse my Predator Plants Lilyzard and Preadator Plants Stapelia Worm! Fusion Summon! Show yourself! Level 7! Predator Plants Chimerafflesia!" Yuri exclaimed as his Monster appeared.
Chimerafflesia: Level 7, 2500 Atk, 2000 Def
"I use it's effect, I can banish one Monster on the Field who's Level is equal to or lower than this Card! I banish your Winter Bell!" Yuri exclaimed as he pointed to Rin's Monster. Chimerafflesia let out it's fangs and almost touched Winter Bell, but a rush of wind stopped it.
"I activate my Continuous Trap Shield of Wind! When a Wind Attribute Monster(s) would leave the Field, I can shuffle a Wind Attribute Monster in my Graveyard into the Deck instead! I shuffle Glass Bell into the Deck to do just that!" Rin did such as a shield formed around Winter Bell.
"Then I will battle! Go, Chimerafflesia, attack Winter Bell!" Yuri exclaimed.
"I use Shield of Wing again! I shuffle Ice Bell to negate destruction!" Rin exclaimed.
"But you'll still take the damage, and when Chimerafflesia battles, your Monster loses 1000 Attack and Chimerafflesia gains 1000! Sadly, this change only lasts for the battle." Yuri finished explaining with a hint of disappointment in his voice.
Chimerafflesia: 2500-3500 Atk
Storm Bell: 2900-1900 Atk
Rin winced in pain, but Winter Bell stood standing.
Rin: 4000-2400 LP
"Hmph, you're very persistent, I will admit. I end my turn." Yuri concluded.
"My turn, draw! I Summon Windwitch - Snow Bell!" Rin slipped the Monster Card onto her Monster Zone.
Snow Bell: Level 1, 100 Atk, 100 Def
"I tune the Level 7 Winter Bell and Level 1 Snow Bell! Witch of midwinter wind, glide through the storm and bring forth a new storm! Synchro Summon! Show yourself! Level 8, Windwitch - Storm Bell!" Rin chanted as her Monster appeared.
Storm Bell: Level 8: 2900 Atk, 2450 Def
"I activate her effect! When she is Synchro Summoned, I can target one Windwitch Monster in my Graveyard and return it to my Hand! Then, you take damage equal to that Monster's Level times 200! I return Winter Bell to my Hand, or in this case, Extra Deck, and now, you take 1400 points of damage!"Rin explained as Yuri hit by another gust of wind, although he only took a step back and grinned, worrying Rin more.
Yuri: 3000-1600 LP
"I use Effect Veiler's effect, by discarding it, I can negate one Monster's effect until the end of the turn, I choose Chimerafflesia! Battle! Go, Storm Bell, attack Chimerafflesia!" Rin ordered as Storm Bell destroyed Chimerafflesia with a gust of ice. Yuri still kept his grin on his face the whole time.
Yuri: 1600-1200 LP
"I end my turn." Rin concluded.
"Not bad! You almost got me. But it isn't enough you know. You're not going to win. Especially since it is my turn now." Yuri told Rin as he slit his eyes.
Heartland-With Yuto
"I'll go first! I Summon Phantom Knights Cloven Helm!" Yuto swiped the Card onto his Duel Disk, bringing out his Monster.
Cloven Helm: Level 4, 1500 Atk, 500 Def
"I set a Card and end my turn." Yuto concluded as a single facedown Card materialized in front of him.
"No Xyz Summon! Are you mocking me? I'll show you! My turn, draw! I Summon Ancient Gear Hunting Hound!" Obelisk Force said.
Hunting Hound: Level 3, 1000 Atk, 1000 Def
"I use it's effect to deal 600 points of damage!" Obelisk Force explained as Yuto got struck by a fireball from the Hunting Hound. Yuto groaned in pain as he lost Life Points.
Yuto: 4000-3400 LP
"I set a Card and end my turn." Obelisk Force concluded.
"My turn, draw! I Summon Phantom Knights Fragile Armor!" Yuto exclaimed.
Fragile Armor: Level 4, 1000 Atk, 2000 Def
"Two Level 4 Monsters! An Xyz Summon!" Obelisk Force realized.
"I use the Level 4 Cloven Helm and Fragile Armor to overlay!" Yuto declared as his Monster's traveled into the portal.
"Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Yuto chanted as his ace Monster appeared.
Dark Rebellion: Rank 4, 2500 Atk, 2000 Def
"Not so fast! I activate the Continuous Trap Fusion Trench! Now only Fusion Monsters can attack! So much for your Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Obelisk Force exclaimed, to which Yuto growled in response, with his anger slowly rising. First, they take away his father and ruin his homeland, now they took Ruri away, and they act like this is some game! Yuto was certainly not going to forgive this.
"I set another Card and end my turn. Make your move!" Yuto rushed. He didn't want to waste any more time on this.
"Very well. I will do my best to "entertain" you, scum! My turn, draw!" Obelisk Force yelled as he drew his Card.
Synchro Dimension-At the Orphanage-With Yugo
Yugo wasn't feeling right. Rin had told him about an hour ago that she was going out to the store to look around or something like that. But she hasn't come back yet, and Yugo knows that when Rin says she is going to be done with something by a certain time, she WILL work her tail off to be done with that thing by her specified time. It was just the kind of person Rin is, and to think that she is late now, Yugo figured that something was wrong.
"Hey care keeper or whatever it's called! I'm going out to find Rin, she's been gone for a while now! Kids, don't make to much trouble while I'm gone!" Yugo exclaimed with a wide smile on his face as he left the orphanage and to his d-wheel.
"Alright, hope nothing is wrong with you, because I am going to need your help!" Yugo told the motorcy-I mean d-wheel. Yugo got on to his d-wheel and sped off, starting his search for Rin.
Back at the Duel With Rin and Yuri
"My turn, draw! I activate the effect of Chimerafflesia in my Grave, on my Standby Phase, I can add one 'Fusion' Card from my Deck to my Hand! I add Re-Fusion! I now activate Re-Fusion! I pay 800 Life Points in order to Special Summon a Fusion Monster in my Grave! Come forth! Chimerafflesia!" Yuri exclaimed with a grin.
Yuri: 1200-400 LP
"I Summon Predator Plants Sundew Kingii!" Yuri slammed the Predator Plants Monster onto his Duel Disk.
Sundew Kingii: Level 2, 600 Atk, 200 Def
"I activate it's effect! During my Main Phase, I can use Fusion Summon a Dark Fusion type Monster from my Extra Deck using Monsters in my Hand or on my Field including this Card! I fuse the Chimerafflesia on the Field with Sundew Kingii! Two beautiful flowers with an insect-alluring fragrance! Now become one, and from the hell beneath your petals, give birth to a new terror! Fusion Summon! Appear! Poisonous dragon with hungry fangs. Level 8! Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!" Yuri chanted as his ace appeared.
Starve Venom: Level 8, 2800, 2000 Def
"W-what is that?" Rin asked in fear as she took a step back.
"It's my most treasured Card of course. It's been with me all of my life!" Yuri told her as Starve Venom let out a loud roar.
Somewhere Else in Synchro
"What was that?" Yugo asked himself. He had just heard a dragon's roar. Then, Yugo felt a weird pain in his chest.
"Augh! What is this pain? It feels like it wants me to go somewhere. No, it's telling me to go somewhere. It's telling me to go... this way! Maybe Rin is this way!" Yugo exclaimed as he rode turned left on a corner and kept on riding.
Back With Rin and Yuri
Unknown to Rin, Yuri had one small drop of sweat rolling down his face. Something that Yuri himself realized.
Why am I sweating? I'm not scared. Whatever! I gotta bring this girl back, and I'm doing it now! Yuri thought to himself as he made his move.
"Starve Venom's effect activates! When this Card is Fusion Summoned using Monster's on the Field, he gains Attack equal to all of the Special Summoned Monsters on your Field!" Yuri exclaimed.
"Not so fast! I activate Storm Bell's effect, I send a Glass Bell in my Hand to the Grave in order to negate activation of your Monster's effect, then, that Monster is destroyed!" Rin exclaimed.
"What?!" Yuri widened his eyes as Storm Bell let out a breeze of wind, covering Starve Venom, destroying it.
"YES! Next turn, I can attack you directly and end this!" Rin exclaimed, however, she stopped celebrating when she heard Yuri laughing at the top of his lungs.
"I'm just kidding!" Yuri called out with an evil chuckle. "Starve Venom has another effect! When it is destroyed, I can destroyed all Special Summoned Monsters you control, then, you take damage equal to the Attack!"
"What? No way..." Rin whispered, panic clear in her eyes as she saw a purple explosion occur, destroying Storm Bell. Then, a purplish-greenish slime-mud came rushing at Rin. The glob raised upwards engulfing Rin, who got blown away as she screamed in pain. It was as if she was being choked to death, to her surprise, she survived. However, everything went black went her body smashed against the wall behind her. Rin let out one last yelp of pain as she hit the wall, before falling to the ground unconscious.
Rin: 2400-0 LP
Yuri walked over to Rin and picked her up, holding her over his shoulder.
"Finally done. She didn't do that bad. She did as good as Ruri did." Yuri muttered to himself before the wall was getting shined on by a light. Then, Yuri heard a voice, an angry one at that.
"Hey! What are you doing with Rin? Give her back!" The voice shouted.
Yuri turned around and showed his face to the person, which immediately gave a shock to the person.
What? He has the same face as me? How? Yugo thought in shock.
The Professor told me I have an Xyz person and a Standard person who looks like me. I'll direct this loser to my Xyz counterpart. Then, this guy will confuse me for him and they will start a predicament. Well, I'll stay there for a bit. I don't even know if this guy can travel to the different dimensions. Probably not. Even still, it's worth a shot. Yuri thought to himself, sporting an even bigger grin.
"I don't have time for you. Magic Card! Violet Flash, activate." Yuri exclaimed as a purple light blinded his counterpart's eyes.
When Yugo opened his eyes, he saw that Yuri was gone.
And so was Rin.
"GOD DAMNNIT!"
Xyz Dimension
"Not bad! As you know, I am an Obelisk Force. I am one of the most elite in Academia. Because of this, I get very special Cards, like this one! I activate the Magic Card Power Bond! I can send Fusion Materials on my Field or in my Hand to the Grave that are needed for a Machine-type Fusion Monster, then, when the required Cards are sent to the Grave, I can Fusion Summon that Monster from the Extra Deck! I send the Hunting Hound in my Hand and the Hunting Hound on my Field to the Grave! Mechanical hounds who carry on the ancient spirits, flock together and become one with new power! Fusion Summon! Appear now! Level 5! Antique Gear Double Bite Hound Dog!" Obelisk Force chanted as his Monster appeared behind him.
Double Bite Hound Dog: Level 5, 1400 Atk, 1000 Def
"What's the point? There's got to be more." Yuto assumed, keeping his guard up for anything that the Obelisk Force member might throw at him.
"You're right. Power Bond has another effect, the Fusion Summoned Monster's Attack is doubled by it's original Attack!" Obelisk Force explained.
"What?!" Yuto gaped out of disbelief. The Card has such a powerful effect?
Double Bite Hound Dog: 1400-2800 Atk
"Battle! Go, Double Bite Hound Dog, attack Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon! And remember, when Double Bite attacks, you can't activate any Magic or Trap Cards!" Obelisk Force reminded. Double Bite jumped onto Dark Rebellion and kept biting at it's winds. Dark Rebellion was destroyed. Yuto growled in anger.
Yuto: 3400-3100 LP
"If you think I'm done then you are hardly mistaken, I activate the Magic Card Fusion Bullet! I can inflict damage to you equal to the current Attack of a Level 7 or lower Fusion Monster! Take 2800 points of damage!" Obelisk Force yelled. Double Bite Hound Dog hit Yuto with two fireballs, one from each mouth. Yuto yelled in pain as he fell to the ground facedown.
Yuto: 3100-300 LP
"I end my turn. At this moment, since Power Bond was activated this turn, I take damage equal to the original Attack Points of the Special Summoned Monster." Obelisk Force explained as Double Bite gained a blue aura, Obelisk Force winced in pain as his life was reduced.
Obelisk Force: 4000-2600 LP
"How's that. You're finished, next turn I will end you. Then, you will be Carded, just like the remaining citizens and loved ones you cherish so much!" Obelisk Force told Yuto as he grinned maliciously.
At that comment, Yuto snapped. He felt the anger slowly rising. His heart beating faster with hatred. He girt his teeth. A dark aura surrounded him as memories of his father getting Carded replayed in his head. Then, a vision of what would happen to his friends and family if he failed occurred in his head. Yuto closed his eyes, he heard the roar of the dragon from the Duel that ended his father. Yuto opened his eyes, they were pure blue, his pupils not in sight.
"Lay one finger on them...AND YOU WILL DIE A PAINFUL DEATH YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!" Yuto snarled ferally at the top of his lungs.
"Woah! W-what is happening?" Obelisk Force asked as he took a step back in fear.
"For what you and your people have done... I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!" Yuto roared. Somewhere nearby, Yuri appeared behind a building, his chest throbbing in pain. His eyes flashing purple for a second. Rin was unconscious next to him, Yuri watched the Duel. Hoh, how interesting.
Synchro Dimension
"Damn it! He took Rin, and now I don't know where he is! I must find Rin! I will find Rin! If it is the last thing I do!" Yugo yelled. At that moment, a greenish light shone from his Extra Deck from his d-wheel, catching Yugo's attention, he walked towards his d-wheel. He picked up his Extra Deck and looked at the top Card. It was the Card that was shining. "Clear Wing... Synchro Dragon. What are you doing pal?" Yugo asked. Suddenly, a light engulfed Yugo.
Yugo screamed out of both terror and confusion as he disappeared from the city.
Standard Dimension-Miami City
"What is this! After an awesome assault from Yuya Sakaki, Strong Ishijima counters even better. This isn't looking good for Yuya!" An announcer dressed in yellow and black stripes exclaimed.
Yuya: 400 LP
Strong: 4000 LP
"It's your turn! Draw a Card! Or will you choose to surrender? Turn your back and run, just like your father?" Strong asked Yuya.
"NO! I'll never ru- But, all I've got in my Hand are Monsters... what can I do?!" Yuya told himself.
"Kgh." A man in a red and orange jumpsuit growled. This man is Yuya's instructor Shuzo Hiragi.
"Yuya..." A girl with pink pigtails wearing a bracelet, a school uniform, and having a face resembling Ruri and Rin whispered in concern.
Is it over for you Yuya? A big man thought to himself. This was Gongenzaka Noburo, Yuya's best friend.
Now, Yuya. What will you do? A blonde woman thought. This was Yuya's mother, Yoko Sakaki.
"It was hopeless after all... how could I ever take Dad's place?" Yuya asked himself, ready to give up, until...
When you feel like crying, laugh. A voice played in Yuya's head, making him think back.
The more you push, the more it'll come back. Yuya thought back to his younger self seeing his father swing a pendulum in front of him.
If you're frozen in fear... The voice started.
"You can't do anything." Yuya joined in as he stood back up, with a depressed look in his eyes. "Have courage and step forward..." Yuya trailed off.
He lifted his head with a look of determination. "If you want to win!" Yuya yelled, unknown to him, his pendulum started shining and it started swinging.
"Swing, pendulum! More and more!" Yuya yelled as he drew his Card, his pendulum shone even brighter. 3 Cards in his Hand started glowing blue, Yuya looked at them with a shocked face. They were changing in front of his face. He then looked at Strong. He knew what he needed to do to win. Yuya took two Cards and showed them to Strong.
"I, using the Scale 1 Stargazer Magician with the Scale 8 Timegazer Magician, set the Pendulum Scale!" Yuya declared as he slapped his Cards on the edge of his Duel Disk as letters that formed "Pendulum" appeared.
"With this I can Summon any Monsters between Levels 2 and 7 at the same time!" Yuya exclaimed.
"What is this?" Strong asked.
"Swing, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether. Pendulum Summon! Come Forth! My Monster servants!" Yuya yelled as 3 beams came out of the circle under the big pendulum in between the magicians.
"First is Entermate Whip Viper! Second is Entermate Sword Fish! Last but not least, the dragon with wonderful and beautiful dual-colored eyes, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya yelled.
"What..." Yuzu started.
"...is this?" Gongenzaka finished as he, Yuzu, Shuzo, and Yoko looked on in shock.
Xyz Dimension
"I-I end my turn." Obelisk Force said as he took another step back. Yuto clenched his fist as his dark aura became bigger.
"My... TURN!" Yuto yelled as he drew his Card. He looked at it, it was time.
"From my Hand, I activate Rank-Up-Magic Phantom Knights Awakening! I can Special Summon a Dark Xyz Monster from my Grave, which will be Dark Rebellion! Now, using this Card and Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, I can Xyz Summon a Monster who's Rank is higher than Dark Rebellion. The choice I have is depending on the number of Phantom Knights Monsters I have in my Grave. I have 2, so if I wanted to, I could Xyz Summon a Rank 6, but I will Xyz Summon a Rank 5! From the depths of purgatory, dedicate to the unsinking souls your song of rebellion! Appear and echo forevermore! Rank-Up Xyz Change! Appear, Rank 5! Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon!" Yuto chanted as his Monster appeared.
"I-I use Double Bite Hound Dog's effect, when a Monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned, I can place a gear counter on those Monster(s)!" Obelisk Force exclaimed, before letting out a sigh of relief.
"DON'T THINK I AM DONE, BECAUSE I AM NOT! I activate the effect of Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon! Once per turn, by detaching an overlay unit, until the end of the turn, I can make a Level 5 or higher Monster's Attack 0! Also, Dark Requiem gains the lost Attack! Requiem Salvation!" Yuto yelled as Dark Requiem let out electricity which struck the Hound.
Double Bite Hound Dog: 2800-0 Atk
Dark Requiem: 3000-5800 Atk
"5-5800 Attack! Whatever, it doesn't matter, with Fusion Trench on the Field, you can't attack!" Obelisk Force reminded Yuto.
"FOOL! YOU THINK I WOULDN'T HAVE A PLAN FOR THIS! I activate the Magic Card Phantom Knights' shot! I can banish a Phantom Knights Monster from my Grave, then I can destroy a Card on the Field! I banish Fragile Armor from my Grave, I destroy your Fusion Trench!" Yuto yelled.
"What!" Obelisk Force faked with worry. Fool, you know that if you attack Double Bite I can destroy your Monster because of the gear counter, victory is all mine!
"It's over. It's that guy with the dragon's win." Yuri said from afar. He had a feeling that there was more to that dragon than Attack reduction.
"Battle! Go! Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon! Attack Ancient Gear Double Bite Hound Dog!" Yuto yelled as he pointed at Hound Dog.
"Idiot! I use Double Bite Hound Dog's effect, if a Monster I control battles a Monster with a gear counter, the Monster with the gear counter is destroyed! Obelisk Force yelled.
"I detach another overlay unit from Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon in order to use it's effect! From the Grave, I Special Summon Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, and negate your Double Bite Hound Dog's effect!" Yuto yelled.
"What!" Obelisk Force yelled in shock as he backed away even more. His heart was beating very fast. Dark Requiem flew up high into the sky, letting out it's wings. The wings were colored like stained glass from a church (I think, I can't remember.)
"THIS IS THE END! REQUIEM OF DISASTER, DISOBEY!" Yuto yelled as Dark Requiem's fangs gained electricity. Dark Requiem flew down at great speed, it flew upwards right next to Double Bite, with it's fangs stabbing Double Bite. Double Bite exploded, getting destroyed. The explosion blew Obelisk Force away, who yelled in pain. He fell to the ground, he was still conscious, but just barely.
Obelisk Force: 2600-0 LP
Dark Requiem and Dark Rebellion disappeared. Yuto, however, was still not himself. He walked to the Obelisk Force soldier, who looked at him in fear. He tried to run away, but Yuto pinned to the ground.
"NOW YOU MEET THE FATE OF ALL PEOPLE IN HEARTLAND!" Yuto yelled as he pressed a button on his Duel Disk, a blue light came out, engulfing the soldier. A Card fell to the ground, it was the Obelisk Force soldier. Yuto clutched his head in pain.
"Argh. What happened?" Yuto asked himself. His eyes weren't purple anymore, and the dark aura was gone. Yuto looked down in horror, he had Carded the Obelisk Force soldier he was facing. Yuto picked up the Card and made a pained expression on his.
"No. I Carded someone." Yuto put the Card in his pocket and clenched his fist.
"I-I don't want to hurt anyone. I don't want to hurt anyone anymore." Yuto told himself. Suddenly, Yuto heard the sound of an engine. He then heard someone yelling. He looked to where the sound came from. He saw a person in white clothes on a white motorcycle which was on a tattered building. Meanwhile, Yuri saw the person and grinned. My plan worked!
"I found you! Don't even think about running away you bastard! Give me back Rin!" The man yelled at Yuto, ignoring his question completely.
"Are you from Academia?" Yuto asked with a serious and stern voice.
"HUH?" The person voiced with a confused look. What the fuck was an Academia?
"I heard something about Fusion!" Yuto said.
"WHO's FUSION?! I'M YUGO! And I'm not leaving until I beat you!" Yugo yelled as he activated the Duel Disk on his d-wheel.
"You are from Fusion!" Yuto yelled as he threw his arm back, activating his Duel Disk.
Yugo rode off the building and towards Yuto. "Listen when people talk!"
"DUEL!"

Done!
Ok, so I am just gonna make this clear right now. I am REALLY sorry for the late update. Since it has been a while, I decided to make the chapter longer than usual. I might not do a chapter as long as this for a while. But, it might happen in the future. Hope you guys enjoyed the Duels.
Yep, Yugo and Yuto finally Duel. I might change their Duel a bit. Also, the aftermath will most likely be completely different from the anime. Some of you might like it, some of you might not, cause it doesn't make since cause of Yuto and Yugo's personalities. Don't worry, the thing I might be doing is not having one of the boys getting absorbed. It's something else.
Anyways, soon, Yuto and Shun will be going to Standard. When they go to Standard, we won't be seeing the Xyz Dimension much. However, I'll make sure to switch between one dimension and the Xyz Dimension.
So, as for Yuto Carding someone. If you guys go re watch episode 18 (I think) of the anime. Yuto says he doesn't want to hurt anyone anymore. Then, Yugo just appears and they start Dueling. The reason I made Yuto Card someone is to give a bigger reason for Yuto to say he doesn't want to hurt anyone.
There's really nothing to respond to review wise so none of that today. But thanks to big Duels and Fanime1 for reviewing.
Anyways, I'll see you guys next chapter. Which will hopefully come in the next 2-3 days and not in the next million years. Take care, goodbye.
