"Sora…" Yuzu held her hands to her chest as she looked at the door with worry. Sora was currently healing from his Duel with Kurosaki after getting crushed by a Solid Vision building.

"He'll be fine. I'm told that LDS has a very skilled medical team." Shuzo assured Yuzu.

"But if the building hit his head before the Field Spell turned off…" Ayu stated the bad scenario.

Yuya clenched his fist. Kurosaki...Shun…


At LDS

"Shiunin Sora is currently receiving treatment in the Center Court's care ward. There are superficial injuries on his legs and head, but his life is not in danger." Nakajima informed Reiji.

"I see. Then call for our emergency care team and have him brought to Leo Corporation's facilities immediately. I have many things I wish to ask him." Reiji turned his chair towards Nakajima.

"Yes sir." Nakajima said.

"Get me the Duel Disk he used as well." Reiji added.

"Understood." Nakajima took a bow before leaving Reiji.


Meanwhile-At the hideout

Shark was at the outside of the hideout only to see Yuto about to leave.

"Where are you going?" Shark asked.

"I'm going to the LDS' hospital. Well, more like I'm sneaking in. I have some questions for Shun's opponent. Where's O'Brien?" Yuto asked back.

"On his way back. Shun told me that Reiji is forcing him to stay at LDS since he is working with them. Akaba Reiji doesn't want him getting out of hand." Shark explained Shun's absence.

"Ok. I'll be off then." Yuto ran away and to the LDS hospital.


Outside the LDS tower

"What do you think?" Yuya asked, causing her to look at him in confusion. "Kurosaki is the culprit for the serial attacks on LDS. I saw him take out members from their top team in front of my very eyes. And you, Yuzu?"

"I saw Masumi get into a dangerous situation while she was chasing the culprit, too...but Masumi…" Yuzu paused as she remembered what Masumi told her and told Yuya and Gongenzaka, shocking them.

"The one she had been chasing was one of them?!" Gongenzaka reacted in shock.

"I don't know why Masumi would say something like that. But Yuto said that they were attacking LDS to save one of their comrades." Yuzu explained.

"Yuto…" Yuya whispered his look alike's name.

Meanwhile, said look alike was walking down the corridor of the hospital, going towards Sora's room.

"Then that man named Yuto is the one who attacked Sawatari?!" Gongenzaka questioned. "Why didn't you say anything about it!? If you had told the truth, then Yuya would have been cleared of suspicion. Don't tell me you doubted Yuya!?"

"That's not it!" Yuzu quickly denied. "Yuya doesn't even…" Yuzu gasped, she was about to say Yuya doesn't Xyz Summon, but he did in his Duel against Akaba Reiji. "Umm…"

"Yuto… A man who looks just like me. That's the same guy who would disappear whenever your bracelet would shine, right?" Yuya asked.

"Disappear?!" Gongenzaka repeated.

"I don't know why Yuto would vanish whenever this bracelet shone...I thought you were just changing out of a costume, but you didn't have a reason to do that!"

"He doesn't have a reason to attack LDS either!" Gongenzaka added to Yuzu's statement.

"He's also the one who Dueled Masumi and Sora by himself, and almost beat them before the bracelet made him vanish…" Yuzu remembered.

"What?! Seriously?!" Yuya exclaimed. So that one day where Yuzu ran off, and he found both her and Sora in a wrecked warehouse, where Sora had some scratches and dirt on him...he was in a Duel?


Meanwhile

Yuto slid open the door to Sora's room and walked inside. He walked over to Sora's bed, who was resting. Sora slowly opened his eyes, regaining consciousness.

"Yu-ya?"

"I have some questions for you." Yuto told Sora.

Sora gasped. "You're-!" Sora remembered Yuto from that one time where they had a 2 on 1 Duel.

"I want to know where Ruri is."

"Ruri?" Sora had never heard of that name before, so he was confused when he heard it. "I don't know any Ruri! There's no way I would, anyways!"

"Then do you at least know where the hostages are?" Yuto interrogated Sora.

"I don't! All I know is that your so-called prisoners of war don't exist!" Sora held up his hands and smiled.

"Don't exist?" Yuto repeated in confusion.

"Because people who are hunted are sealed into cards. So I'm sure she is…" Sora trailed off as Yuto gasped as he widened his eyes.

His heart slowed a few beats as he thought about Ruri. Her being carded. It made him sad to think about it, one of his closest friends, and his girlfriend was taken away from him, just like his life. However, along with the sadness, there was also another emotion mixed in. Anger.

"More importantly, where is he?"

"He?" Yuto asked.

"Kurosaki Shun!" Sora exclaimed. "I have to settle the score with him!" Sora got out of bed and grabbed his Duel Disk.

"That's already been settled. You lost." Yuto told Sora.

"I didn't lose!" Sora yelled in denial. "There's no way I would lose to Xyz Scum! Take me to him now! I'll beat him to a pulp this time! If I go all out, someone like him would be easily…"

"Where is that shouting coming from?!" A voice was heard. Yuto and Sora stopped talking and turned towards the door.

"This way!" A second person told the first as they ran into the room. "Who are you?"

Yuto just stared at them. Then, with great speed, he ran towards the guards, making them move out of the way, Yuto took this chance to run out of the door

"Wait!" Sora started to chase Yuto.

"You shouldn't be moving yet!" The first guard scolded Sora.

"Move it!" Sora shouted as he knocked over both guards and ran out of the door. He turned to his left and saw a glimpse of Yuto's cape. "You're not getting away!" Sora ran towards Yuto.


With Yuya, Yuzu, and Gongenzaka

"Did you seem him?" A guard asked another guard.

"No! Where could he be?" The second guard ran out of the building, confusing the trio.

"What's all the fuss about?" Gongenzaka asked himself.

"He might already have gotten outside!" The first guard guessed.

"Contact headquarters immediately! Tell them that Shiunin Sora has escaped!" The second guard ordered a third guard, who nodded and went to go do that.

Yuya, Yuzu, and Gongenzaka gasped. Sora had escaped?


At the Central Park

Sora kept wheezing as he was still tired and out of breath. Unknown to him, he was being watched by a camera, which people in the observatory was watching him.

"Hurry up and get him! Kurosaki Shun!" Sora demanded desperately. He was soon going top be at his breaking point before going insane. Yuto turned around to face Sora.


Observatory

"Th-this is-Sakaki...Yuya!" Nakajima gasped.

"No. That is Yuto." Shun corrected Nakajima.

"Yuto?" Reiji repeated the name. Even he was slightly shocked by this.

"He's my comrade."

"I see...I had suspected that there were 2 Xyz users attacking LDS, but...it was you and that Yuto man, wasn't it?" Reiji asked.

"But that face...he looks exactly like Sakaki Yuya." Nakajima said.


With Yuto and Sora

"Hurry up and get Kurosaki!" Sora demanded.

"You want to fight Shun again with those injuries?"

"Yes! This time, I definitely won't lose! To someone like him...Xyz Scum are all destined to be hunted by me! You, Kurosaki...and even that Ruri girl you talked about!" Yuto narrowed his eyes. "There's no way I would lose to Xyz users! I'll prove to you that if I fight seriously, I'm the stronger one! If you're going to hide him, then I won't show you any mercy! I don't know where that girl is, but...I bet she was turned into a card! Or maybe there might actually be a way to save her…"

"What?"

Sora smirked. "By destroying all of us! However, that is impossible for the likes of you of course. If you won't show me Kurosaki, then I'll Duel you for him! Besides, I've been wanting a rematch since we last fought!" Sora activated his Duel Disk. Yuto got in a ready stance and activated his Duel Disk.

"DUEL!"

"I'm going first. I Summon Edge Imp Tomahawk!"

Tomahawk: Level 4, 1800 Atk, 800 Def

"With Edge Imp Tomahawk, once per turn, I can send one Edge Imp Monster to my grave and to deal 800 damage to my opponent!" Sora sent a Monster to the grave, a bright light shone, and when it dissipated Yuto was thrown back into the wall behind him, he gasped in pain as he fell to the floor of the stage he was on. "Think of that as a little greeting from me. I end my turn."


Observatory

"800 damage right away." Nakajima gaped at the screen.

"Don't worry. Yuto would never falter against this amount of damage." Shun assured Nakajima.

Reira was scared, shivering in her place. Reiji placed a hand on his shoulder, shocking the girl.

"Watch closely." Reiji told Reira.


Yuto and Sora

"Are you okay?" Sora asked in a mock tone as Yuto got up to his feet. "Feel free to call Kurosaki out and trade spots with him.]

Yuto ignored Sora and continued to fight. "My turn! I Summon Phantom Knights Dusty Robe!"

Dusty Robe: Level 3, 800 Atk, 1000 Def

"Hah! First off is an 800 Attack Monster." Sora grinned in amusement. "Now, how will you advance your plays, Mr. Xyz Loser?"

"When I control a Phantom Knights Monster, I can Special Summon Phantom Knights Silent Boots!" Silent Boots rose from the ground with a laugh as it appeared next to Yuto.

"I see. Since you've got 2 level 3 Monsters…"

"I overlay Dusty Robe and Silent Boots! Souls of knights who fell on the battlefield. Revive here and now, and become the light that breaks the darkness! Xyz Summon! Appear, Rank 3, Phantom Knights Break Sword!" Yuto chanted as one of his most signature Monsters appeared.

Break Sword: Rank 3, 2000 Atk, 1000 Def

"Here it is! An Xyz Monster!" Sora exclaimed in excitement.

"Battle! Break Sword, attack Edge Imp Tomahawk!" Break Sword stabbed Tomahawk with its sword, destroying it. Sora was knocked back as he took damage.

Sora: 4000-3800 Lp

"I set 2 Cards and end my turn!" Yuto concluded.

"It wouldn't be fun if you couldn't at least do this. Now that you've shown off your Xyz, it's time for me to go all out! I activate Fusion from my hand!" Yuto narrowed his eyes, prepared for what was to come. "I'm going to fuse Edge Imp Sabres and Furnimal Bear in my hand! Claws of the demon! Fangs of the beast! Become one and reveal a new form and power! Fusion Summon! Appear, horrifying beast that shreds everything! Deathtoy Scissors Bear!" Sora thrusted his hands together as he widened his eyes. At that moment, Scissors Bear appeared.

Scissors Bear: Level 6, 2200 Atk, 1800 Def

Yuya had just ran into park. Yuto and Sora didn't notice him. "Sora…" Yuya glanced at Yuto and gasped. "That's-! He looks just like me! Is that the Yuto guy that Yuzu was talking about?"


Meanwhile-In the Synchro Dimension

Yugo was in the garage, on his d-wheel with his helmet on.

"Damn it! God damn it! I've had enough! Come on Clear Wing! Do whatever you did in order to help me find Rin! Please! I'm begging you!" Yugo pleaded to the Card of his Dragon. No, Yugo couldn't communicate with spirits, so he was just yelling at a Card.

"If I could do it all again...if I could have just went with her! Then she might still be here! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yugo punched his fist in anger. His temper quickly rising. "I swear, once I find that grinning, sadistic, psychotic bastard, I'm going to knock his lights out and make sure he pays for what he has done!" Yugo's eyes flashed green for a second.


Back in Standard

"Time to battle! Go, Scissors Bear, attack Break Sword!" Sora declared as Scissors Bear punched Break Sword, destroying it. Yuto once again flew to the wall, however, this time he managed to stay on his feet.

Yuto: 3200-3000 Lp

"At this moment, I activate the effect of Break Sword! When Break Sword leaves the Field, I can Special Summon its Xyz Materials as level 4 Monsters!" Yuto explained as his Phantom Knights were revived. "The Phantom Knights will never fall! No matter how many times you take them down, they will always revive! This is how we of the Resistance fight!"

"Resistance? Auh...Fusion...enemy…!" Yuya pondered at Yuto's words.

"Bear's effect activates! When he destroys a Monster in battle, he can equip that Monster to himself." A portal opened and Break Sword rose from it, only to be devoured by Scissors Bear, the Monster finally burping at the end. "Now, the attack of the destroyed Monster gets added to Bear's!" Scissors Bear let out a laugh as it grew bigger.

Scissors Bear: 2200-4200 Atk

"This means that your Xyz Monsters are only going to be nutrients for Bear! Now, go ahead and Xyz again with those Monsters you Summoned! I'll devour those as well. I set a card and end my turn." Sora ended, clearly forgetting that he just set himself up for a loss.

"My turn, draw! I overlay the level 4 Phantom Knights Dusty Robe and Silent Boots!" Yuto exclaimed. This made Sora excited. "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's ace Monster rose to the Field, showing off it's fangs. Yuya gasped at the sight of the Monster.

Dark Rebellion: Rank 4, 2500 Atk, 2000 Def

"Dark Rebellion...Xyz Dragon?!" Yuya whispered the name of the dragon.

Sora widened his eyes. "Wait! Oh no! Not that one!"


In the Synchro Dimension

Yugo was just about to give up. He had no way of finding Rin, no leads, no nothing. He had lost his only friend, lost to some bastard in a cloak.

"Sorry...Rin…" Yugo whispered. Suddenly, he heard a roar. "What was that?!" Clear Wing's Card in Yugo's Duel Disk, which was on his Duel Runner began to shine again. Yugo was engulfed in the light, yelling in shock. When the light dissipated, Yugo and his d-wheel were gone.


Back in Standard

"Dark Rebellion's Monster effect! By detaching an overlay unit, it can halve the Attack of an opponent's level 5 or higher Monster until the end of the turn, then Dark Rebellion gains the lost amount!" Dark Rebellion shocked Scissors Bear with electricity, then it roared out loud due to the power boost. "Treason Discharge!"

Scissors Bear: 4200-2100 Atk

Dark Rebellion: 2500-4600 Atk

"No! If you use the last overlay unit, my Monster's Attack will be lowered to 1050…and your Dark Rebellion will have 5650! More than enough to finish me off!" Sora exclaimed in shock while Yuya just looked on. They both thought it was over, however…

"Battle!"

"What?!" Both Yuya and Sora gasped at Yuto's declaration.

"Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, attack Deathtoy Scissors Bear!" Dark Rebellion let out its wings as its fangs began surging with electricity. Finally, Dark Rebellion flew towards Scissors Bear. "Rebellious Lightning Disobey!" Dark Rebellion stabbed Sora's Monster, destroying it, causing a big dust cloud to form. Sora was sent back screaming in pain.

Yuya covered his eyes from the dust. "This isn't even a Solid Vision Field, but these shockwaves!"

Sora: 3800-1300 Lp

"I end my turn with this. At this moment, Dark Rebellion's Attack returns to normal." Yuto concluded.

Dark Rebellion: 4600-2500 Atk

"Sora!" Yuya called out to his friend as he ran to him. "Are you okay, Sora?"

"Go away!" Sora forced Yuya's hand off. "This isn't any of your business!"

"What are you talking about?! Why did you sneak out here to Duel when you should be getting rest in the hospital?!" Yuya argued.

At that moment, nearby, but not too close to blind them, a bright green light appeared. Catching the attention of the 3 Duelists. They were too far away to see if something came out though. The 3 Duelists then went back to what they were doing. However...


In the Observatory

All of the cameras were cut out, this meant that no one could see the Duel.

"What happened?" Nakajima asked.

"We lost connection." Someone answered.

"Fix it fast then!" Nakajima commanded.

"Yes sir!"

Shun gritted his teeth, he was worried now. He was worried about Yuto, he hoped that nothing bad would happen to him. So that's why he isn't going to sit here. Shun started to walk away, however...

"Where do you think you're going? Reiji asked.

"I need to go there now! My best friend is in danger!" Shun responded.

"I forbid you to go. If you go now, and things get hectic during the tournament, then my entire plan will be ruined. And you don't want that, do you? After all, this plan could get you closer to Akaba Leo, and closer to saving your captured comrades." Reiji explained to a Shun why he shouldn't go. "For now, we wait."

Shun stayed in place and clenched his fist. "Fine." Shun walked back over to Reiji.


Back in the park

"Sora! Stop Dueling! Things are getting dangerous!" Yuya told Sora.

"No! This guy is mocking me! He's holding back! He could have beat me this turn!" Sora shouted.

"Then let me help at least!" Yuya pleaded with Sora.

"Shut up!" Sora shoved Yuya back. "If you want to help, then get the hell out of here and go check whatever that stupid light was for all I care!"

"But Sora!"

"Shut up!" Sora shouted. "I don't care what you do! Go away!"

"Sora...I'm only trying to help you!"

"I don't need help! As far as I'm concerned I'm perfectly fine! It's YOU who needs help Mr. Make Everyone Smile! For all I care, go check out the light!" Sora pushed Yuya in the direction of where the light came from, outside of the park. Yuya just looked at a Sora in shock. This clearly wasn't the boy he met before. The boy he met was much nicer, like a little annoying adorable 5 year old. But this, this Sora is a monster. Yuya was clearly hurt by what Sora had said to him, but he tried to stay calm, despite the aching feeling in his heart that won't stop bothering him.

"Alright...just don't push yourself!" Yuya told Sora as he left to go check out what the light was.


Later

Yuya got to where the source of the light was, where he found someone on a white motorcycle wearing a white helmet.

"Man...what is this thing doing here?" Yugo asked himself as he looked at a fallen lamp post, caused by his sudden appearance. Yugo took of his helmet and unintentionally looked at Yuya with a frown clear in his face. "Geez."

Yuya gasped in shock. Another person with the same face as me?

"You..." Yuya said.

Yugo looked at Yuya with a surprised face, but that face soon became one of anger. "You..I finally found you! Don't even think about running you bastard! For what you did, I'll make you pay!" Yugo pointed his finger at Yuya. He was 100% sure that this was the wrong guy. This wasn't Yuto. This guy still had the same face though. So, Yugo thought that he was the person who too, Rin.

However, what Yugo didn't know, was that we was very wrong.


And we're finished. Sorry, this is the same as in the anime basically. But, there are a couple of differences here. Mostly, is that Yuya won't interfere with Yuto and Sora's Duel. Sorry if you are bothered by this.

Next chapter preview.

Thinking Yuya is Yuri, Yugo immediately initiates a Duel with Yuya. The 2 battle it out. Meanwhile, Sora and Yuto continue to Duel, with Sora pissed off at the fact that Yuto is holding back. Yuya and Yugo Summon their Dragons, and all 3 boys with the same face feel a weird pain, followed by an unusual change of personality, and a desire to destroy everything.

Here it is! Yuya vs Yugo. This time, Sora and Yuto will be able to finish their Duel. Hope you guys are excited for Yuya and Yugo's Duel.

Mekyaku: You will have to see how it turns out next chapter. As for your guess...you are...drumroll please...you are correct! Great job. What do you win, you may ask? Umm...you win a pwotagonst cookie. In Zexal, Shark tried to end the Due, by using Barian the King of Dreams or whatever, he used the effect to have the effect be Ragnafinity, in order to try to end the Duel by burning Yuma for 4200 damage. However, Yuma countered this with the exact same card Shalulu used, Damage Reactor, and used Beyomd the Hope to destroy Barian. Great job man.

Anyways, that's all for now guys. Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. See you guys in the next one.

Take care, goodbye!
