They had left. Just as quickly as they had came (not really.) The You Show crew were both happy and confused. They had won, they had protected the duel school, but the challenger named Akaba Reiji had just left, giving Yuya the win. The circus had disappeared and Yuya was back in the duel arena. He opened the door and stepped out of the arena, with a depressed look on his face, the sun was setting, and Yuya had his goggles over his eyes.
"That was pretty awesome wasn't it?" Sora asked.
"To think… that he could use Pendulum…" Gongenzaka said, still trying to take in what he saw.
"Yuya!" Yuzu exclaimed in concern as she and the others ran towards him, he dropped to his knees.
"How could he know how to use Pendulum? Pendulum Summoning is...unique to me." Yuya said to himself. Then, Shuzo walked in scratching his head with a small smile on his face.
"Man… anyways, good for us!" Shuzo told the group.
"Good for us?!" Yuzu repeated in a confused and surprised manner.
"Yeah. The LDS left. Also, we managed to protect our school thanks to everyone's efforts." Shuzo told the group. However, Sora had different thoughts about it.
"Well, even if you say "everyone," in reality, the only one who actually won was O'Brien, Yuzu lost, Gongenzaka ended it in a draw, and we don't even know if Yuya would have won his match…" Sora pointed out. This made Yuzu look down in shame, Gongenzaka closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, Yuya just stayed depressed, Shark and O'Brien gave Sora weird looks, while the 3 kids got mad.
"How can you complain, you didn't even fight!" Tatsuya yelled.
"Yeah, you weakling!" Ayu insulted Sora, who just had a stale look on his face.
"You Show Duel School doesn't want a person like you on board!" Futoshi told Sora. He didn't stand for Sora saying that Yuya, Yuzu, and Gongenzaka did bad, even though they tried their hardest. Shark didn't matter because he won, so he wasn't included in the conversation.
"Yeah, yeah. Sorry." Sora said nonchalantly as he walked away.
"Hey, where are you going Sora? Also, you 3 can't go saying stuff like that, it's rude!" Shuzo scolded.
"Whatever!" Futoshi yelled.
"We don't need weaklings like HIM anyway!" Ayu shouted.
"IF the LDS tries to attack again, I'll protect us next time!" Tatsuya offered to Yuya, who was still looking down at the ground with a depressed look on his face.
"Me too!" Futoshi joined.
"Me three!" Ayu added.
"So please, Yuya-oniichan, train us again, with your Pendulum Summoning!" Tatsuya pleaded.
"Pendulum Summoning isn't just mine!" Yuya snapped as he got off the his knees and ra past Tatsuya, planning to run out of the Duel School, however, he didn't get far because Shuzo grabbed his wrist firmly.
"Where do you think you are going? Reality will never change even if you look at it. You have to face it like a man! As you said, Pendulum Summoning isn't unique to you anymore." Shuzo told Yuya, who gasped.
Meanwhile, at LDS
"President! Good work as always." Nakajima congratulated as all workers in the room turned to face Reiji and put their hands to their side and looked at him respectively.
"Yeah." Reiji responded as he, Himeka, and Nakajima entered the observatory. "Report to me the details of the Marco assault incident."
"Yes sir." A man replied as he scrolled through districts of Miami City. "The incident took place in Miami's City District NLD-038. The incident took place at 17:54. (Or 5:54 P.M.) We detected a very strong summoning reactions."
"What was the Summoning method?" Himeka asked with interest.
"Xyz… it was an Xyz Summon. This one was just as strong as the one from the Sawatari incident." The man told Himeka.
"However, at the time of this incident, Sakaki Yuya was with us. However, he did perform an Xyz Summon." Himeka remembered as she thought back to when Yuya summoned Odd Eyes Absolute Dragon.
"Hmm… was there a detection of an Xyz Summon a couple of minutes ago, excluding the one from the Marco incident?" Reiji asked the man, because chances are Yuya's signal could be weaker.
"We did get one. However, it was strong, but not compared to the Xyz Summon signals during the Sawatari and Marco incidents." The man told Reiji.
"Then now it should be clear that Sakaki Yuya is not the culprit here. Nakajima. Where is Marco now?" Reiji asked as he looked at Nakajima.
"Right away." Nakajima replied as he looked at the page on his screen. "His whereabouts are still unknown. Just… Section Chief, bring the items."
"Yes sir." A man in a blue jacket replied as he walked up to the group with a bag in hand, inside it, there were 3 cards and a broken duel disk. Two of the cards were Magic, Instant Fusion and Fusion Recovery (I said this card was Fusion Substitute last chapter, I meant Fusion Recovery,) and Last Warrior from Another Planet.
"This was all they found. His team got to the scene faster than anyone." The man told Reiji.
"They're significantly damaged, but there's no mistaking that they belong to Marco." Sector Chief told them. He had seen Professor Marco wear and use this duel disk before, and he had seen Marco use Last Warrior from Another Planet before.
"Use all of the LDS' resources in order to locate Marco. Don't stop until you find him." Reiji told them.
"Yes, sir!" Sector Chief replied before walking away.
Just what is going on here? Reiji thought to himself. He had an idea of what it was, but he wasn't too sure on if he was right or not.
"Actually, President, there is something else I should tell you." Nakajima told Reiji.
"What?" Reiji asked.
"Today, before the Marco incident, and before the Chairwoman left for You Show Duel School, a strong Xyz Summon has been found." Nakajima told Reiji. "Also, when the Chairwoman was at You Show, a strong Fusion Summon signal picked up. They were around the same strength as each other and about the same strength as the Xyz Summon signals during the incidents."
"Interesting. That will be now Nakajima." Reiji told him. Nakajima bowed towards Reiji and walked away.
Come to think of it, in the duel between O'Brien and Hokuto, O'Brien Fusion Summoned, could he be the strong Fusion signal? Reiji wondered to himself.
Meanwhile
"If he's okay, why won't they let us see him?" Masumi asked Yaiba and Hokuto. "Professor Marco would surely be happy if he saw me!"
"I bet he's all wrapped up in mummy bandages just Sawatari and doesn't want anyone except the people who are taking care of him to see him in that state." Hokuto guessed, however, this angered Masumi.
"Don't liken me to that piece of trash!" Masumi yelled at Hokuto who had a drop of sweat roll down his face.
"However, there was no Action Field, and for him to get hurt…" Yaiba said as Masumi started running. "Ah… hey! Where are you going?"
"To find out what happened, obviously!" Masumi told them as she continued running.
Back at You Show Duel School
"Pendulum cards were a power that were uniquely granted to you. Despite that, more people who use them have shown up. That's a shock to you, isn't it? I don't know how in the world Akaba Reiji got his hands on Pendulum Cards. My guess is that his company developed them in the first place." Shuzo revealed, shocking everyone except Shark, and O'Brien, as they had already known this beforehand.
"Company?" Yuzu asked with interest.
"Yes. Akaba Reiji is the CEO of LEo Corporation. For his company which boasts worldwide number one share in duel systems, decrypting the secrets of Pendulum Cards could be child's play to him. If that is true, then one day, the world will be overflowing with Pendulum cards." Shuzo told Yuya and the rest. Yuya gasped in shock. Shuzo threw his hand off of Yuya's wrist.
"Yuya! Duel me, right this instant! I'll beat that pessimistic personality that you have still been clinging onto into shape with my hot-blooded guidance!" Shuzo challenged.
"Wait, what are you saying, Dad?" Yuzu asked. Shuzo walked up to Yuya and put his goggles up on his head.
"That's why you couldn't beat Akaba Reiji! Now, duel me!" Shuzo challenged.
"Yuya won at first, didn't he? I'm the one who lost Dad! If you're going to get mad at someone, don't get mad at Yuya, get mad at me!" Yuzu yelled. She had still felt guilty for letting her mind be clouded by Yuto, which caused her to lose the duel.
"No need for interference. The principal is challenging Yuya to a serious duel. You can tell just by the look in his eyes." Gongenzaka told Yuzu, now that Yuzu looked at her Dad, she saw something in him that doesn't come out often, Yuzu ran out of the group's way and pulled out her duel disk and dialed in a number.
"We're leaving." Shark suddenly said.
"What? Why?" Shuzo asked.
"We have some things to take care of, besides, I know you can beat some sense into Yuya." Shark told Shuzo with a small smile.
"Goodbye." O'Brien said as he and Shark left You Show Duel School, ready to go back to their hideout.
Later, with Shark and O'Brien, back at the hideout
Shark and O'Brien walked in to see Yuto sitting on the ground without his bandana covering his mouth, he was arranging his deck, taking some things and out and putting some things in.
"We're back." Shark told Yuto.
"Where's Shun?" O'Brien asked.
"I was about to ask you the same question. Because he was gone when I came back. You don't think he went on to attack people from LDS?" Yuto asked. He had noticed Shun had wanted to get along with the plan as fast as possible.
"Maybe." Shark said.
"So, anything interesting happen at the Duel School?" Yuto asked them. He had been interested if they had met that girl who looked like Ruri (Yuzu) and this Yuya person that the girl had mistook him for.
"Yeah. We met someone who looks very similar to you and Ruri. Their names are Yuya and Yuzu." O'Brien told Yuto.
"The boy Yuya… his last name… is Sakaki." Shark revealed.
"What?! That's the last name of Sakaki Yusho, the same one who mysteriously appeared in Heartland!" Yuto yelled in shock.
"Get this, from what I've heard him say, he has created a Summoning method that only he has, called Pendulum." O'Brien added.
"Pendulum? I thought there was only 3 Summoning Methods. I mean, there is Ritual, but I'm not counting that." Yuto said.
"Well, we were wrong." O'Brien responded.
"Also, LDS came to the Duel School, and they accused Yuya of assaulting an LDS student named Sawatari. Also, they say the person was an Xyz user who looked just like Yuya, ring a bell?" Shark asked suspiciously. "They also said that Yuzu was there, so you met Yuzu before any of us, and you never said anything about it!"
Yuto gasped. They found out just like that? Well., there was no hiding anymore, as long as Shun doesn't find out.
"Yes. I dueled Sawatari, but I never meant to hurt him." Yuto told them.
"Yeah, but they say that Sawatari was hospitalized." O'Brien told Yuto, shocking him.
"What?! I saw him, he didn't have any injuries whatsoever. Also, don't tell Shun this but, yes, I did see a girl that looked very similar to Ruri." Yuto was about to continue but was interrupted by a voice.
"What?!" The voice yelled, Shark, O'Brien, and Yuto looked in the direction of the voice and gasped, Shun was standing there.
"Where were you?" Yuto asked immediately.
"Oh, I shouldn't be the one giving answers Yuto! You're telling us that you saw a Ruri lookalike and didn't even bother telling us?" Shun asked.
"If I told you, you would go on a reckless rampage, and if I told those two, they might tell you." Yuto told Shun.
"Shun, where were you?" O'Brien asked calmly, he decided to approach this safely.
"I faced an LDS teacher, I dueled him, beat him, and carded him." Shun told the three.
"What?!" Yuto shouted in shock. "I thought I told you to not card anyone!"
"No. Last time I checked, you said don't card the students, you never said about anyone else at LDS, that guy was a teacher." Shun told Yuto.
"Shun, you're acting too recklessly! You need to calm down!" Yuto shouted.
"How am I supposed to calm down Yuto! We were just innocent people living our normal lives, and then out of the blue, some Academia bastards decide to attack us! Then, we find that a lot of people are losing their lives. Then, my sister gets kidnapped, who knows what Academia could be doing to her! All of our friends and families are in danger, some are already gone, like your Dad, and Allen's parents!" Shun shouted. He still had some anger bottled up inside him like a load of TNT.
"Shun, I understand your pain, we all do, but at least calm it down a few notches, if you act too recklessly, someone innocent might get hurt because of it, and I don't mean by getting carded. Shun, the 4 of us can deal real damage through dueling, we could kill someone if our rage is strong enough. What if, we were trying to free Ruri, and you acted so reckless that you accidentally killed her, what would you do?" Yuto asked Shun, who froze in his place, the more he thought about it, the more it seemed that Yuto was right, but still, there was another side of him that had a hatred so strong that he had the feeling to defeat all Academia students.
"How about this, I'll do it my way, and you do it your way." Shun told them harshly as he walked past them, ready to get some rest.
At Academia
Ryo was sitting in his room, he had been preparing for this moment. The moment where he would get revenge. Revenge in the Professor. Ryo had now realized just how sick this world is, the soldiers go to Heartland and card people, hardly showing any respect in dueling either. Well then, if that was how it was going to be played, then Ryo was going to have to go to hell, and he doesn't know if he's coming back. Ryo opened the drawer next to his bed, inside was a deck and a deck box, Ryo picked up the deck and looked at the top card.
Cyber End, will you join me in this conquest? Or will I have to give into the desires of that deck. Ryo thought to himself as he eyed the deck box in the drawer, knowing what hellish powers laid inside.
Alright guys, finished! I decided to get this chapter out as fast as possible since this chapter doesn't have a duel. Sorry for it being so short.
Anyways, this time, we will have a short chapter preview, better than nothing.
Ryo has finally decided to commence his plan, escape Duel Academia. He manages to sneak onto the boat that new students arrive to Academia on. When back on land, away from Academia, the Juvenile Officers find him and challenge him to a duel for his life (by that I mean if he loses he gets carded.) The 3 officers seem to have the upper hand, but Ryo pulls through with all his strength, when more Officers come however, someone interferes.
So yeah, I decided that Ryo should get to move along now.
Remember to leave a review with a suggestion, for example, should Ryo have a heart problems like he did in Gx, or should he not have one?
Anyways, I hoped you guys enjoyed this short chapter, take care, goodbye.
