Yuto opened his eyes and looked around his surroundings. He gasped when he realized that he wasn't in the warehouse anymore.
"What?! Where am I? Ruri-no, whoever that girl was…thought that I was a guy named Yuya. Hmm…does this Yuya and I look similar. I mean, it is possible, the girl looks like Ruri, also Yugo looked like me. I should find out about this Yuya person. Anyways, the bracelet on that girl, it shone and I was teleported here. Also, Ruri wore a similar bracelet." Yuto told himself as he climbed up a nearby building. "I should find Shun and the others." Yuto mumbled to himself as he jumped across the rooftops.
As Yuto ran, he took a look and saw the LDS tower. Maybe LDS isn't linked to Academia. Yuto thought back to when he interrogated Sawatari, who had never heard of Academia before. The sound in Sawatari's voice, the way he expressed, he was telling the truth. He didn't really know anything about Academia.
Maybe we shouldn't do this. We might do too much damage. Yuto thought to himself, which reminded him, he stopped running and thought about it.
"Why did I wreck the warehouse? I didn't even mean to. Was I doing out of habit because of the war? Did something influence the damage of my attack? Or did it influence my command without me realizing? Actually…" Yuto said to himself as he took a Card out of his Extra Deck. "Dark Requiem…Xyz Dragon. I got this Card during the Duel Dad got Carded. Maybe, this Card is influencing me. I need to tell the others. No, they might worry. I don't want them to worry. They might get distracted. Fine then, I'll keep you a secret…for now…Dark Requiem."
"Yuto!" A voice called. Yuto looked in the direction of the voice. He saw Shun, Shark, and O'Brien standing on the rooftop across from him.
"Guys!" Yuto jumped to the rooftop they were on.
"Where did you go?" Shun asked with an agitated tone. He did not want to risk losing Yuto along with Ruri. He already lost enough.
"To the warehouse." Yuto revealed blatantly.
"What did you do?" Shark questioned his comrade and friend.
"Nothing." Yuto lied. Actually, he had done a lot. He wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't going to be big news at some point to the city where lots of people would be talking about it.
"Hmm…ok. But, don't lie to us Yuto. You can trust us." O'Brien told him. Immediately, Yuto felt guilty.
Maybe, I should tell them about Dark Requiem, and about the Ruri lookalike! Yuto thought. No, I don't need them worrying about Dark Requiem and I. Plus, Shun would go crazy about the Ruri lookalike. He would stop at nothing to hunt her down, and she doesn't have anything to do with the war, we don't need innocent people getting dragged in. I have to keep this a secret…at least for now. Yuto thought to himself.
"Let's go! Shark found us a place where we can stay for now. We should head there and stay for a while." Shun said.
"Alright." Yuto responded as the group followed Shark.
At the Hiding Place
The group walked into their hiding place. It was simple but it would work. However, from the looks of it, this hiding place was only temporary. It was a small place, but it was good enough for four people. Yuto noticed that there was four rugged and worn down couches, all of them in a way to form a square space in between.
"This could work." Yuto nodded his head out of approval.
"I know, that's why I picked it." Shark responded with a smirk as he dove for the couch close to them.
"Alright. We don't have much time to waste. We need to come up with a plan. Yuto, you went out to do get information. Did you find anything?" O'Brien inquired.
Should I tell them about the Ruri lookalike? No, Shun is going to go crazy about it. If I told Shark and O'Brien, they might tell Shun anyway. Yuto thought to himself.
"No. However, I did Duel an LDS student." Yuto told them.
"What? Did you find anything about Ruri?" Shun asked in a rush as he ran right up to Yuto and got in VERY close. So close that Yuto was starting to sweat because of how uncomfortable it was.
"No. But I beat the student, I asked him if he knew anything about Academia, but he didn't know." Yuto replied calmly and softly.
"How could you trust him? How could you know he wasn't lying?" Shun questioned with an irritated expression on his face. How could his best friend just let him go like that?
"Shun, I could tell he wasn't lying. He was scared, he was telling the truth." Yuto told him. He didn't need to go to any drastic measures. He could see the expression in his eyes, Sawatari did tell him the truth.
"He could have told you anything so you would leave him alone, whoever it is." O'Brien said skeptically.
"Guys, the guy had 100 Life Points. He was facing my Dark Rebellion. Also, he found out I could do real damage during the Duel. He saw my attack wreck the warehouse. I know you didn't know that but…do you think that after hearing this that he would be lying? I could feel it, he was telling the truth."
"I'll believe him." Shark spoke up. He gave the other two a skeptical look. "What about you two?"
"Wait. You said you did real damage in a Duel…right?" O'Brien asked.
"Yes. I did, but not on purpose." Yuto responded.
"Wait, you're telling me that someone like you did damage in a Duel by accident?" Shark questioned. Yuto was never one to be careless.
"Yeah." Yuto responded, giving them a confused look.
I don't believe him. There has to be something he is hiding. Yuto isn't one to mess up like that. Shun thought to himself as he sharpened his gaze at Yuto like a hawk.
"Cut the bullshit Yuto! I've known you longer than these two, I know that you wouldn't mess up like that!" Shun exclaimed, giving Yuto a suspicious face. Shun was so mad that he forgot that he knew Yuto just as long as Ryoga.
"Yuto, is there something you are hiding?" Shark put out the question at hand once again..
"No!" Yuto once again fibbed to his comrades, something which he immediately felt guilt drop onto him for.
"Yuto…before we left you said that we had to trust each other. Like O'Brien, since he is from the Fusion Dimension. However, you are basically going back on those words. You said we should trust each other, but how can we trust each other if we can't even trust you?" Shun questioned his best friend. Yuto gasped. He glanced at his Extra Deck and thought about the lookalike. He was frozen, he didn't know what to say to that.
"I…" Yuto started, but the rest never came out. He really did go back on his words.
"Whatever. We'll worry about it later. Now, we need to focus on the task at hand. Shun, you and I should go follow some students, get some information, like what they do, their attitude, anything really. Also, if you can, find a way to lure out Akaba Reiji." Shark deduced a game plan while walking away, wanting to get off of their current topic.
"Watch your neck, 'friend." Shun said, putting major sarcasm on the word 'friend' while shoving past Yuto rudely as he left with Shark. There was a long silence between O'Brien and Yuto. Finally, O'Brien broke the silence.
"I'll go navigate this dimension. In order to see if I can find things you couldn't." O'Brien told Yuto as he also left, leaving Yuto alone. Yuto had a depressed look on his face and took out Dark Requiem.
"Shun…guys." Yuto whispered to himself. They just left, and he might have strained the friendship between him and Shun significantly. Yuto's ears perked up.
"Who's there?!" Yuto yelled, pulling out his duel disk, ready to fight. But no sound came other than the sound of his duel disk.
"Nothing. Ugh, first I make my best friend mad at me, now I am hearing things." Yuto said to himself as he walked away. When he left, there was a soft, evil voice. However, there was no body in sight.
"Hehehehe! So, he might be able to see me. But no matter, two of them are in this dimension! I can feel it! It's only a matter of time before I come back!" The voice said to himself.
Meanwhile-LDS
"President, some people want to talk to you. They have Sawatari with them, and he is unconscious." A man told a person with glasses who was sitting in a chair looking out a window.
"Bring them in, Nakajima." The man now known as Akaba Reiji told Nakajima.
"Yes. At once." Nakajima responded as he left. Later, the 3 henchman arrived in the room, while holding an unconscious.
"President! You won't believe what happened! We were just minding our own business, and then Yuya Sakaki attacks us out of nowhere! He Dueled Sawatari and injured him badly! Also, Yuya Sakaki used Xyz Summoning!" Henchman 1 exclaimed. However, the part of Sawatari getting injured was a total lie.
"Is that so?" Reiji asked. Although he didn't show it, he was a little shocked by the fact that they thought Yuya attacked them. After all, the boy really didn't seem like the type to do so.
Xyz Summoning? Actually, there was a reading of a very powerful Xyz Summon earlier. Reiji remembered.
Earlier
Reiji was sitting in the control room. He was watching some people typing on a monitor. Then, he heard someone gasp.
"What's wrong?" Nakajima asked the female that gasped.
"I just got a reading…and it's an Xyz Summon signal…however…the readings are higher than usual. They're...off the charts!" The woman reported with wide eyes.
"What?!" Nakajima gasped out of shock.
It's time. People from the other dimensions have started to come here. Reiji thought to himself, showing no emotion to his subordinates.
Now
"I don't think it is Yuya Sakaki. Were there any other witnesses?" Reiji asked.
"Yes. What was her name…Hiragi Yuzu!" Henchman 2 exclaimed.
"Interesting…I will deal with this matter later. Go get Sawatari to a hospital." Reiji commanded.
"Yes, sir. Thank you for taking the time to speak with us." Henchman 3 responded as they walked away. When they were gone, Reiji got out of his chair and walked closer to his window.
"The reading is definitely of one of the other dimensions. Probably the Xyz Dimension. But then…why did someone of the Xyz Dimension come here? It should have been from Fusion? Unless, Fusion declared war on Xyz. They might have learned about how Akaba Leo has a son somehow. So, they might try to lure me out. However, I can't be sure yet. I will have to see if there are more attacks from Xyz users." Reiji said to himself.
"Maybe that plan is going to take place after all." Reiji muttered nonchalantly s he walked out of his room.
With Shun and Shark
Shun and Shark were jumping rooftop to rooftop. They were currently following an LDS student. The student wasn't aware of Shun and Shark's presence.
"I say we Duel and beat the information out of him!" Shun said as he pulled out his duel disk.
"No! That's too reckless. We are new to this world. We shouldn't go in guns blazing. Doing that could get you killed." Shark said something that Yuto would say at that moment.
"Yeah, I know. But do you see any guns here, no! Do you see anything blazing, no! So as far I'm concerned, I'm fine." Shun responded as he was about to jump off the building. But Shark caught his arm, preventing him from doing so.
"You know what I mean. We have to lay low for a bit. Then, we can initiate our plan." Shark told him.
Shun groaned in annoyance. "Fine. I'll lay low…for now."
"That's fine with me." Shark said as they continued following the student.
With O'Brien
O'Brien was walking on the rooftops, just to see if he could see something that could be important. However, he stopped when he saw two people. He was far above them, so they couldn't see him. However, even from above, O'Brien could easily tell who one of them was…kind of. It was Yuya and Yuzu.
"Oh my god! That guy looks very similar to Yuto! Where are they going?" O'Brien whispered to himself as he followed them on the rooftops, making sure not to lose sight of them. He noticed that the girl was kind of spacing out.
"Yuzu! Yuzu! YUZU!" Yuya bellowed, startling Yuzu. She grew an irritated and angry expression on her face, and smacked Yuya with her paper fan.
"Don't yell at me like that! You should no better, Sakaki Yuya!" Yuzu scolded her childhood friend.
"Come on! Why do I always get beaten by that fan every day!" Yuya exclaimed as he rubbed his head. "What's wrong with you anyway? You keep spacing out."
Yuzu sighed. "Nothing, don't worry about it."
Why did that guy look like Yuya? Why could I feel the wind, and why did the warehouse get wrecked from that guy's attack? There wasn't an Action Field, so he couldn't done real damage. Also, why did my bracelet shine? When that happened, that guy disappeared, and then Yuya appeared. Why is this happening? Yuzu thought to herself.
"Well. Let's go back to You Show." Yuya said as he started running, not even giving Yuzu to comprehend what he had just said.
"Wait up Yuya!" Yuzu yelled as she ran after Yuya.
"Where are they going? I should follow!" O'Brien said as he followed them again, curious and wanting to find more about the boy who looked like Yuto.
Later-At You Show Duel School-Night
Yuya and Yuzu walked into the building which said 'You Show Duel School.' O'Brien was hiding from a nearby building. However, he couldn't see the name of the building.
"It's time! I should go check this out!" O'Brien said as he ran over to the building.
"We're back!" Yuya announced as he and Yuzu entered.
"Yuya-oniichan! Yuzu-oneechan! You're alright!" Ayu exclaimed as she ran towards them.
"Are you alright, Yuzu-oneechan?" Tatsuya asked.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Yuzu assured them with a smile and a pat on their backs.
"Well well well, I heard Sawatari didn't learn his lesson." Sora said as he casually walked over to the group with a lollipop in his mouth.
Yuzu sighed. "Yeah...guys...I think I am going to go home."
"Eh? Why?" Yuya asked. Meanwhile, O'Brien was outside on the left side of the school, he was waiting for the right moment. Making sure no one was watching.
"I'm just feeling a little worn out, that's all." Yuzu responded.
"Did you get the shivers?" Futoshi asked.
"No, I didn't." Yuzu answered, while adding in a small laugh.
"Well, good night then." Yuya said,
"Good night!" Yuzu called out to the group as she walked out of the school.
Unfortunately, when Yuzu reached the corner of the left side of the school, O'Brien walked out. Yuzu bumped into O'Brien and gasped.
"Hoh! I'm sorry! Are you alright?" Yuzu asked with concern.
"Umm...yeah. I'm fine."
"A-Are you here to join the Duel School?" Yuzu asked curiously. There wasn't many students as You Show Duel School. Plus, more students meant more friends.
"Maybe, maybe not. I don't know." O'Brien replied as he thought about it.
"Well, I'll most likely be here tomorrow. If you come here, I could give you a tour." Yuzu suggested.
"Thanks. But, I might not come. However, I'll ask a friend of mine if he wants to join." O'Brien thought of Shark.
"Ok then. I got to go! What's your name?" Yuzu asked. O'Brien paused, he thought if he should tell Yuzu his real name or a fake one.
"Hmm…you there?" Yuzu snapped her fingers in front of him, instantly bringing him back to reality.
O'Brien said his name, however, he said in a soft voice to the point where Yuzu couldn't catch it.
"What?" Yuzu asked to hear the name again.
"O'Brien. Austin O'Brien. That's my name." O'Brien repeated at a louder volume.
"I'm Yuzu…Hiragi Yuzu." Yuzu replied.
"Nice to meet you. Well, I'll see you around." O'Brien said.
"Yeah. Bye." Yuzu replied as she ran off. She had a weird feeling about O'Brien. She didn't think he was a bad person, but he seemed a little weird. Normally, she doesn't see many people who are that serious. Especially for someone who is about her age.
Well, the closest she has ever seen is Gongenzaka, but even he has a soft and funny side.
Later-Back at the Hideout
O'Brien walked into the hideout, to find Shun just standing there while Shark was editing his Deck. Yuto wasn't there, from what he saw.
"Where is Yuto?" O'Brien asked.
"He said he is going to explore more." Shark responded.
"You won't believe this, I found someone who had the same face as Yuto." O'Brien stated.
"The Pawn of Fusion!" Shun blurted out, jumping to a conclusion without even thinking.
"What?" O'Brien asked Shun to repeat what he had just said.
"The Pawn of Fusion. He came into Heartland one day. He and Yuto Dueled, when me, Ryoga, and more of our comrades arrived, Yuto told us to trust him." Shun explained. "However, I don't trust him one bit!"
"What did this Pawn of Fusion look like?" O'Brien asked as he had never seen this Pawn of Fusion.
"He had a white motorcycle, and I think I saw that he had yellow and blue hair under his helmet." Shark told O'Brien, while not even facing him.
"The guy I'm talking about had green and red hair. It's not the Pawn of Fusion." O'Brien informed Ryoga. Unless the boy had hair dye and a motorcycle, he wasn't the person Ryoga was describing.
"So you mean to tell me there are more people who look like Yuto?" Shun gaped at the very thought of it.
"Yes. Also, Shark I have to ask you something." O'Brien said.
"What is it?"
"Well, I followed the boy and a girl near him to a Duel School. The girl left, and I ran into her. She suggested that I joined the Duel School. However, I was wondering if you wanted to join the Duel School. If you do, then I might join." O'Brien told Shark.
"Don't do it, we don't have time for that. Even if one of the guys look like Yuto." Shun muttered with no interest at all.
"However, we could get some information from them, and we don't even need to cause much attention too." O'Brien reasoned with Shun, trying to convince him.
"You raise a good point. Hmm…" Shark stopped editing his Deck and put one hand on his chin and thought about this decision for a bit. "Give me some more time to think about it."
"Alright. I'm going to sleep if you two don't mind. None of you have found a bed, have you?" O'Brien asked, a little bit of hope in his voice.
"O'Brien, we are newcomers to a world we know nothing about! We have no form of currency! I've looked, the form of currency is the same as it is in Heartland! Unfortunately, some Fusion bastards had to attack, and most of the money of Heartland have either been lost, trapped under rubble, broken, or scorched into smithereens! Along with that, one knows us, and would probably think we are we weird if we went up to their face and said 'Oh hey, I just wanted to ask you, I don't have a bed cause I am too poor and came from another dimension that was burned to the ground. So, could you give a bed to me pretty please with a cherry on top.' That's not going to happen!" Shark shouted in a slightly aggravated way.
"Whatever." O'Brien responded stoically as he found a place to lie down. He let the sleep take over him as he drifted off.
Alrighty, that's another chapter stamped down!
Sorry for updating a little late guys, had some net problems, but it's all fixed now! Also, sorry for no Duel. There may or may not be a Duel next chapter, I don't know.
No preview.
Now, as for that 'mysterious voice,' you guys might know who it is just by what he said. But if you don't know who it is, I'll give you a hint, it's not an OC. It's a character from Arc-V and not from any other Yugioh series.
Venomous Blade: Well, the Duel is more important than you make it to be. It reintroduced Xyz Summoning and it was a good way to introduce Yuto. Also, maybe to reveal Yuzu's bracelet powers. Can't wait for your next chapter! You're doing great so far!
Big Duels: Glad you enjoyed it!
Anyways, that's all for now guys. Please remember to leave a review and have a great day!
See you all in the next chapter. Take care, goodbye!
