"Thank you, Mitchie-san!" Yuto thanked Mitchie for the lunch. It was really good. The best meal he had in awhile. Because of the war, Yuto and his comrades didn't have much time to eat, and when they did, it wasn't exactly the best, but it was enough to survive.
"Please, call me Mitchie."
"You really are the best partner, Mitchie!" Teppei complimented his partner.
"I, the man Gongenzaka, has never had a meal so delicious! Thank you, Mitchie!" Gongenzaka took a slight bow to the boy, this ticked off Mieru.
"What the hell!" Mieru shrieked, shocking the four boys. "You keep going on about Mitchie this and Mitchie that! Even I can make delicious food for Darling!"
"I'm not Yuy-hey!" Yuto shouted as Mieru ran away for some reason.
"What's with her? Where is she going?" Teppei asked, munching on a sandwich.
Mitchie blinked rapidly in surprise. "Maybe to search for ingredients? Hey, wait, she's not a participant in the Battle Royale, is she?"
"Not just Mieru. There are plenty of other Duelists not a part of the Junior Youth Championship that have invaded." Gongenzaka revealed to Mitchie.
"Including me." Yuto added. "Also...from what I recall, you guys are…'friends' with Shiunin Sora, correct?"
"Yes." Gongenzaka confirmed. "What about it?"
"Well, when those bastards from Academia came, Shiunin Sora was leading them."
"Sora?! He's back?!" A drop of sweat rolled down Gongenzaka's face as he heard the news.
"Yeah. As we speak he should be...oh no!" Yuto widened his eyes in fear.
"What's wrong?" Gongenzaka asked in concern.
"If I remember correctly, Shiunin Sora was having a revenge Duel with Shun!" Yuto recalled to when both Shun and Sora went to a separate temple.
Yuya's spirit appeared next to Yuto at that moment, only Yuto could see him. "That Duel should be over right now! If anything, the victor of the Duel might be in a different area. We haven't seen or heard anyone in the Jungle Area, and I highly doubt that one of them is in the Ancient Ruins Area! We need to go now!"
Meanwhile
Yuzu, exhausted, hid below a small cliff of ice. I can't do it! He's too strong! Yuzu quietly gasped in shock as she saw the shadow of Yuri's dragon.
"You're amazing, it's already morning!" Yuri called out, Yuzu looked up, where she heard Yuri's voice, more fear pouring into her. "The fact that you've managed to run away for this long is truly amazing! You have my praises. But, if you hadn't noticed, ever since I Summoned my dragon and ended my turn, you have never started your turn, you just kept on running! So, if you're not going to do anything, I guess our game of hide and seek is over. Come out. Come with me back to the Professor. Yuri stepped to the edge of the tiny cliff, where Yuzu saw his feet through a small crack.
Just then, Yuri's dragon let out a roar and smashed part of the cliff, making the crack bigger as rocks fell to the ground. Yuzu backed up at she almost screamed in fear, however, she managed to cover her mouth with her hands just in time.
"I hope you'll come out soon…" Yuri said in a playful tone.
It's over! I can't get away! Help me, Yuya, Yuto, anyone! Yuzu closed her eyes as tears started to form.
At that moment, Yuzu's bracelet shone a big light, causing both Yuri and Yuzu to gasp in surprise. Yuri disappeared.
Yuzu opened the eyes and looked at her bracelet and to where Yuri was standing, he was gone, and so was the dragon. "It shone again! Don't tell me that Yuya really is…?!"
It was then that Yuzu heard the rev of an engine, she looked to where Yuri was standing and saw a white motorcycle ride off the tiny cliff, Yuzu saw a rider on it. Unknown to her, the driver was Yugo.
Yugo glanced to his left, swearing that he saw someone. He widened his eyes as he saw the person. He thought he was hallucinating for a second.
"Rin!" Yuzu gasped when she heard Yugo say the name. Yugo's d-wheel hit the ground and Yugo quickly skid to a halt and turned it slightly so he could face Yuzu, who he thought was his childhood friend. He pressed a button on his helmet, lifting up the visor. "Rin!" Yugo got off the d-wheel and ran over to Yuzu. "Awesome! I've missed you, Rin!" Yugo gave Yuzu a tight hug, the girl let out a yelp of surprise in response as a blush formed on her face.
"H-hold on! Rin!?" Yuzu gasped once again as she remembered the boy named Yuri mentioning the name, along with Ruri. Could this be that guy Yuto mentioned? The boy named Yugo? Yuzu held Yugo's head by the sides of his helmet and pushed his face slightly away from hers so she could look him in the eyes. "You know who Rin is?" Yuzu immediately stopped talking as she paid attention to Yugo's face. At first, he saw Yuya, and then Yugo, and then Yuri, and then back to the face she was seeing now. This could confirm her suspicion! Yuto had said that Yugo had the same face as him, and that he had a missing friend named Rin! This all added up, this wasn't just a coincidence.
Meanwhile, Mieru, who was watching the scene, from a cliff higher up, was getting infuriated.
"Th-that's Hi-hiragi Yuzu!" Mieru stammered as she saw what was going on. "She's changing clothes and messing around with other men while seducing Darling-or, whoever the other guy is! UNFORGIVABLE!" Mieru gained an aura of fire as she took a step forward. "I'm going-" The rest of Mieru's sentence was cut off as the ground under crumbled as Mieru screamed in shock and fear. She slid down the hill, towards a slope going up. She was launched upwards and sent backwards by the slope and her head fell into a crack, knocking her out cold.
Earlier-In the Jungle Area-With Yuto and Gongenzaka
"Oi! Yuya!" A voice called out to who he thought was Yuya, but was really Yuto.
Yuto, who was running with Gongenzaka in a hurry stopped and turned towards the voice. "Huh? You...Dennis!" Yuto narrowed his eyes, getting suspicious, once again pondering on the fact that he knows Dennis from somewhere.
"How are you doing?! I just beat Yuzu in a Duel!" Dennis lied. While it was true that he beat Yuzu, he didn't do it just now, he did it yesterday.
"With Yuzu?!" Both Gongenzaka and Yuya, who couldn't be seen exclaimed in shock.
At this moment, Yuya quickly disappeared and took control of Yuto's body, his eyes turning red. "Where?!"
Gongenzaka took note of the fact that the voice sounded like the real Yuya, not like Yuto trying to impersonate him, but put if off for now.
"In the Volcano Area...why, what happened?" Dennis pretended to play dumb, knowing what was happening.
"There aren't just 16 of us in this Battle Royale." Gongenzaka informed Dennis.
"You're saying there's someone else here?!"
"Yeah!" The real Yuya spoke. "It might sound unbelievable, but other Duelists from different dimensions have snuck in!"
"Different dimensions? Hah, you can't be serious!" Dennis chuckled.
"It's the truth!" Yuya's eyes turned gray, signifying that Yuto took back control of his body. "There's also a boy named Shiunin Sora among them."
"Sora…" Dennis whispered the name, before continuing to play the happy-go-lucky-dumby act. "Oh? You know someone from a different dimension! Amazing!"
"I saw the Knight of Duels taken out by those bastards with my own eyes!" Yuto told Dennis.
'Those bastards?' Dennis repeated what Yuto said in his head.
"If that wasn't bad enough. We can't use our communication in this Field, so we can't get in touch with anyone, which is why we split up from the group we were in and search for everyone."
"Wow! This sounds like a big deal! Yuzu said she was going to the Iceberg Area." Dennis said, trying to mislead them. He figured that by now Yuri should have captured Yuzu already. "We should go look for her!"
The trio then ran over to the Iceberg Area. Yuto took this time to communicate with Yuya in their thoughts.
"Ok, what the hell did you do?!" Yuto demanded Yuya for an answer.
"I don't know. I felt something come over me and I took control. It felt like I was in a body again, well, a solid one, not translucent." Yuya said in denial.
"Whatever, don't do that again, that was a really weird feeling."
With Yuzu
"You want to know who Rin is?!" Yugo asked, at this moment, Yuzu's bracelet shone again, teleporting Yugo away. However, since Yuzu was making contact with Yugo, she also disappeared. Above, Yuto, Dennis, and Gongenzaka came.
"No good. Looks like Yuzu isn't here." Yuto told the other two, well, three, if you counted Yuya.
"Maybe she went to a different area?" Gongenzaka suggested.
Dennis let out tiny smirk, unknown to Yuto, Yuya, and Gongenzaka. Looks like Yuri safely finished his work then. Then all that's left is...
At the Ancient Ruins
Serena ran up the stairs to a temple, nearly out of breath, she gasped as she watched what unfolded between Shun and Sora.
"Deathtoy Scissor Tiger's Attack increases by 300 for each Deathtoy Monster I control!" Sora explained. Scissor Tiger gained a purple and blue aura as it laughed.
Scissor Tiger: 1900-2200 Atk
"This is the end!" Sora shouted as he was covered in the same aura, grinning maliciously. He could finally have his revenge on this Xyz Loser. "Go, battle! Attack Force Strix, Deathtoy Scissor Tiger! Send Kurosak...this Xyz remnant to his grave!"
"Kurosaki?!" Serena repeated the name as she looked to the other person, Shun. This was the person who could give her the answers she needed!
Deathtoy Scissor Tiger rushed at Force Strix, destroying the bird with its scissors, causing an explosion, which blew back Shun yelling in pain. He blew past Serena, who looked on in horror as Kurosaki hit the ground and continuously tumbled down the stairs, lying down in defeat.
Shun: 2100-0 LP
Serena immediately took action and made a mad dash down the stairs to Kurosaki.
"It looks like I've won this time!" Sora smiled as he came outside of the temple.
Serena tried to touch Kurosaki, so she could help him get up, but she quickly retracted her hand when Shun clutched the left side of his chest in pain.
"These are horrible injuries!" Serena examined Shun's body, seeing multiple scratches on his face.
"Get out of the way, Yuzu. Kurosaki is the prey I've hunted." Sora commanded Serena, not knowing that she wasn't Yuzu.
Serena stood up and turned around and activated her Duel Disk.
"Huh? That Duel Disk is...wait, don't tell me...that you're Serena?!" Sora asked in a whisper.
"Magic Card, Lunar Eclipse! The Field is enveloped in total darkness." Serena revealed as a dark mist covered her and Kurosaki.
"Serena!" Sora yelled as he ran down the stairs into the mist.
Later-At the Volcano Area
Serena and Kurosaki kept on running. However, they had to stop as Shun grunted in pain and clutched his chest and crouched down onto the ground, unable to run.
"Are you okay?" Serena questioned Shun. She heard footsteps and saw Sora slowly walking towards them with a serious expression on his face.
"Hey, can you just let me finish that guy off?" Sora asked as he took the lollipop out of his mouth. "You'll only get hurt too."
Then, the ninjas known as Tsukikage and Hikage appeared right in front of Serena. Sora decided to try to ignore them and right past them. Keyword try, as Hikage, with great speed that matched Sora, ran right up to his face.
"Now's our chance." Tsukikage told Serena as he and Shun, who was being carried by Serena, walked away.
"You're in my way." Sora said.
"That's why I'm here." Hikage replied.
"Why are you guys helping me?" Serena asked Tsukikage.
"Once we take up a mission, we will stake our lives to complete it." Tsukikage answered Serena's question. "That is a rule of our Fuuma Clan."
In the observatory
"Serena is an important asset in negotiating with Academia. She must be protected at all costs." Reiji informed Nakajima. "How many enemies are left?"
"We've confirmed four including Shiunin Sora. However, there is always a possibility that more soldiers are on the way." Nakajima responded. "Oh yes, sir. Whatever happened to that man, Kamishiro Ryoga?" Nakajima was interested what happened to him. He hasn't seen him ever since his defeat at the hands of Shun.
"We are keeping a close eye on him. It seems that the other guy at You Show that one time hails from the Fusion Dimension. If I recall, when he Dueled Hokuto, a strong Fusion Summoning signal was recorded at that time. That man...O'Brien, must have came here to Standard with the 3 Xyz Duelists, Kurosaki, Ryoga, and that boy named Yuto." Reiji explained. "Put the feed on Kamishiro Ryoga, now!"
"Yes sir!" The workers exclaimed as they showed a feed of Shark and O'Brien, they were walking through the Jungle Area, about to enter the Temple Area.
With Shark and O'Brien
"This place is just temples." O'Brien noted.
"Just like how in the last area how it was just a jungle." Shark said. "Just what is going on here?"
"We should keep moving. Maybe there is more areas." O'Brien proposed.
"Fine." Shark replied as the two left the temple they were in. Little did they know, earlier, that was where Shun and Sora had Dueled.
At the Volcano Area
Dennis and 6 members of the Obelisk Force were watching Shun, Serena, and Tsukikage. Dennis turned to the Obelisk Force.
"There is Serena. Go get her." Dennis told the soldiers.
"You're not coming?" One raised an eyebrow in confusion. This would be much easier and quicker if Dennis helped out.
"There are a lot of issues with that...the Field is full of security cameras. Anyways, you 3, go out their and Duel them." Dennis pointed to the 3 Obelisk Force members with a green gem, red gem, and yellow gem. "You three, only Duel if they need help. Also, keep in mind that if you join the Duel, you will receive an Intrusion Penalty, Akaba Reiji had it set so anyone who joins in the middle of Duel takes 2000 points of damage." Dennis pointed to the 3 that had a blue gem, white gem, and purple gem.
"Yes sir!" The 3 exclaimed in response.
As the trio walked towards the building, a voice from the Obelisk Force called to them. "Serena-sama."
"Please do not resist." Green Obelisk Force pleaded, which is surprising judging by the fact that other members of the Obelisk Force never say 'please.'
"We've been tasked to bring you back." Red Obelisk Force added.
"You'll have to take me back by force." Serena declared. Academia was like a prison. She didn't want to go back there. Furthermore, she still had to ask Kurosaki about the Xyz Invasion to see if what Yuzu said was true. However, she didn't expect Shun to put a hand in front of her, the next thing she knew, Shun and Tsukikage stepped up, getting ready to battle.
"Then you leave us no choice." The 3 Obelisk Force Duelists all activated their Duel Disks. Shun, Serena, and Tsukikage did the same in response.
"DUEL!" The 6 Duelists bellowed in unison.
Meanwhile
Yuto and Gongenzaka were currently to the Volcano Area. They checked everywhere else, but to no avail, so the Volcano was the only area left. However…
"Yuya! Gongenzaka!" A voice shouted.
Yuto and Gongenzaka stopped and turned to the direction of the voice to see Shark and O'Brien.
"O'Brien! And...Shark…" Gongenzaka murmured the latter's name. He still hadn't forgotten how he acted in his last two Duels.
"Are you guys going to the Volcano Area?" Shark asked, deciding to get to the point.
"Yes. We're looking around for Yuzu." Yuto replied.
"Let's go as a group." Shark said before he raised his eyebrow at Yuto. "Also, cut out the disguise and trying to imitate Yuya, Yuto."
"What?"
"Yuto, stop acting like a dumbass, I know it's you."
"Damn...looks like I'm busted again. How long have you known?"
"Ever since your Duel with Kachidoki." Shark answered in a nonchalant manner. He could easily tell from when Yuto hit Kachidoki, Yuya would never hit somebody, he seemed too nice to do that. Yuto, although nice, barely pulls any punches. Shark was also going to ask why Yuto was cosplaying as Yuya in the first place, he was also wondering where the boy was at all, but he decided to put it off to the side for now.
"One second. O'Brien, are you...with Shark, from another dimension I mean?" Gongenzaka asked. They both entered the school at the same time, and they both seemed to be fine with each other's presence.
"Yes, I am." This shocked Gongenzaka, first Sora, then Shark, now O'Brien! What's next, you're going to say that his best friend Yuya is the reincarnation of the devil? (Oh wait…) "Anyways, no more dilly dallying! We need to go!"
"Oh yeah, if you guys didn't no, soldiers of Academia are here, along with Shiunin Sora." Yuto informed the two.
"They are! Damn!" Shark cursed. Academia already got their dirty hands on the Xyz Dimension, and now they're targeting this one. "Well, I didn't see any soldiers in the other areas, there must be some in the Volcano Area!" The 4 people nodded as they ran off to the Volcano Area.
Later-In the Volcano Area
The four entered from an opening in two rocks, where they were greeted by the sight of none other than Shiunin Sora Dueling Hikage on a rock island thing that was separated from them by lava.
"Sora!" Gongenzaka shouted out the boy's name.
Sora looked at Gongenzaka and the others, taking note of O'Brien and Shark, before sighing and looking back at his opponent, before widening his eyes with a serious expression on his face.
Meanwhile
"I activate Moonlight Cat Dancer's effect! By releasing Blue Cat, it can now attack every Monster on my opponent's Field twice!" Serena explained as Blue Cat disappeared as Cat Dancer laughed and danced. "Battle! I attack Triple Bite Hound Dog with Cat Dancer!"
"That won't work! Trap Card, Fusion Dispersal, activate!" Red Obelisk Force countered.
"What!? Fusion Dispersal?!"
"I can revert one attacking Fusion Monster my opponent controls into its Fusion Materials." Cat Dancer was seen screaming as her fusion was undone, as its Fusion Materials reappeared. "Now, the Battle Phase ends and now damage is dealt to you equal to the Attack of the Fusion Material with the highest Attack!"
Serena gasped as she quickly covered face. A strong gust of wind hit her and send her skidding backwards, the force of the wind was so hard it actually felt like someone punched her.
Serena: 4000-2400 LP
"Too bad, but we fully comprehend your Deck." Red Obelisk Force grinned. "You don't have any options left!"
"Let's go, hurry!" Mitchie rushed Teppei, who was holding onto an unconscious Mieru. They were both hiding behind a rock so they wouldn't be seen.
"Why?! Even if we fight them, we won't get any Pendulum Cards!" Teppei retorted selfishly.
"But our friends are in a pinch." Mitchie argued. He couldn't just ditch them here.
"Huh...you're right. We could use our power to turn a pinch into a chance...like hell that'd happen, idiot!" Teppei yelled at Mitchie, but at a low enough tone so the Obelisk Force could hear him.
While all of this was happening, Sora started to slowly advance on Hikage, taking slow steps towards him with his Monster, causing Hikage to continue to backup the same pace as Sora.
"Shiunin Sora! Stop this! You don't have to do this!" Yuto shouted.
"You're right I don't. But this guy got in my way, so it's my job to take him out, which I'm about to do, so just wait!" Sora replied coldly.
"God damn it!" Yuto cursed as he was about to jump over the lava in order to get to Sora, however, he was held back by the other.
"Wait, don't do anything stupid!" O'Brien exclaimed.
"Don't do what Shun does!" Shark added.
"I don't care! Let me go!" Yuto tried to fight against the hold, but he was no match against the 3 of them.
Gongenzaka looked to his right, and saw Shun, Tsukikage and Serena Dueling the Obelisk Force. However, he didn't see Serena as Serena, he saw her as Yuzu.
"Yuto! Over there, it's Yuzu!" Gongenzaka pointed to where the group was Dueling.
"Yuzu!" Yuya repeated the name of his childhood friend as he looked at the direction Gongenzaka pointed to, desperate to see her again for real instead of just memories.
"Yuzu...and…"
"I end my turn." Serena concluded as Shun came into Yuto's view.
"Shun!" Yuto, Shark, and O'Brien recited the name of their comrade out loud in unison.
"Now, let's go!" Mitchie told Teppei. Now was their chance to strike, if there was a chance to fight, it was now! Mitchie stepped onto the Field with his Duel Disk activated. "You're facing us now!"
Teppei grumbled as he walked onto the Field and also activated his Duel Disk. The interruption by the two Duelists was a shock to everyone, even to the Obelisk Force. However, Teppei and Mitchie were just about to get an even bigger 'shock' themselves as they got electrocuted by the intrusion penalty. (Hah, get it, shock, because they got electrocuted, get it? Hahahahaha...I'll shut up now.)
Teppei: 4000-2000 LP
Mitchie: 4000-2000 LP
"My turn, draw!" Mitchie drew his Card.
Mitchie and Teppei managed to pull of an impressive team combo that damaged the Obelisk Force down to 2000 LP, however, they were both defeated by a combo as well with 3 Continuous Traps. They were both Carded, which only fueled Yuto and Yuya's anger. After Mitchie was Carded, Gongenzaka, Shark, and O'Brien left Yuto to go help out. However, Teppei was Carded before they could save him.
Yuto's eyes sparked into a blue light as a dark aura appeared around him as the ground started to shake violently as Yuto and Yuya's rage built up.
Hikage stepped to the edge of the rock, he had nowhere left to run.
"We're done here. I activate Wheel Saw Lion's effect, once per turn, it can destroy an opponent's Monster and deal damage equal to its Attack to my opponent!" Sora explained as Wheel Saw Lion sent saws that destroyed Hikage's Monster, dropping the latter's life to 0 as he yelled out "Regrets!" At that moment, he was sealed into a Card.
That tears it, he had enough. Yuto let enough people lose their lives as it was already, but at least for most of those he wasn't there when it happened. But he just let 3 people lose their lives in front of him, and he just did nothing about it except just stand there and try to talk the bastard out of it. He had enough, he felt something snap inside him.
Yuto clutched his head as he writhed and yelled in pain up into the sky. He dropped down to his knees and agony as more pain surged through him. He heard a voice. It was saying to make him pay...then...destroy him...and then...destroy Academia...and then everything else!
"RAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Yuto howled in rage as he made a mad dash and jumped to the edge of and jumped very high, all while yelling out in rage, "SORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"And you're next." Red Obelisk Force told Tsukikage, who grunted at the fact that he couldn't do anything. "I activate the Continuous Trap, Ancient Gear Reborn, I Special Summon Triple Bite Hound Dog from the Grave with 200 more Attack!"
Triple Bite: Level 7, 1800 Atk, 1000 Def
Triple Bite: 1800-2000 Atk
"And I activate the Continuous Trap, Ancient Gear Spark Shot!" Green Obelisk Force assisted.
"Take this! Ancient Revival Howling!" Triple Bite let out a large yellow wave at Tsukikage who looked at the blast, getting ready to accept his fate.
"Wait right there! Action Magic Flame Guard! I negate any effect damage!" A voice quickly activated the Card, saving Tsukikage as the wave disappeared. Everyone looked to where the voice was coming from and saw Sawatari Shingo. "Now that I'm here, we'll have the strength of a hundred more. Akaba Reiji filled me in on the situation!" Suddenly, he heard blinking on his Duel Disk. He looked down to hear a robotic voice say, Instruction Penalty, 2000 points! "Huh?" Sawatari was suddenly screeching out in pain in a humorous way as he managed to say "He didn't f-fiiiiilllll me iiiiin a-about this!" He dropped down to the ground. He slowly pulled himself up and looked at the Obelisk Force. "I'll show you why I'm the greatest man from LDS!"
Meanwhile
"You brat...you...need to be destroyed...no...that's wrong…" Yuto whispered to himself as he went into a trance as his shadow formed into Yuya's momentarily.
"We lost it again...kuh...we have to keep on fighting...in order to defeat Academia...and save as many people as we can…" Yuya spoke to Yuto in his trance. "We can do it...we can fight it off...we just need to get a hold of ourselves…" The tension in Yuto's fist started to calm down a bit as the dark aura dissipated.
"Shiunin Sora, Duel me." Yuto challenged Sora.
"Fine. I don't like the idea of having a losing record against you anyways." Sora accepted the challenge with a serious expression as he walked over to an opening. "Let's do it where no one will interrupt us. Just us, and no one else." Yuto followed Sora into the opening of the cave as they walked into a Duel Field where there was a long, straight rock which acted as a bridge with multiple platforms floating around above the lava and stalactites on the ceiling. Sora walked to the other side and faced Yuto with a serious expression. Yuto gave a glare back and narrowed his eyes.
"I-no-we will defeat you. And we will move onto Academia." Yuto stated his resolve.
"You can lose the disguise. I know it's that Xyz Loser under there." Sora told Yuto. "Don't worry, There aren't any cameras that are on, so no one in the stadium will see you. Akaba Reiji can probably, but you can worry about him later.
"Hmph...I was going to take them off anyway!" Yuto exclaimed as he threw off the wig and Yuya's clothes to the side, revealing his tattered clothes that he has been wearing ever since the war started, with Yuya's pendant still around his neck as he activated his Duel Disk.
Sora activated his Duel Disk also.
"Let's go, Yuto!" Yuya stared at Sora as his body appeared in a translucent form, however, only Yuto could see him, Sora couldn't. Yuto nodded in response. He can't lose now. He won't lose!
"DUEL!" Both Yuto and Sora shouted as they begun their 3rd Duel.
Finally! I managed to finish this! My internet was acting up for a couple of days so I couldn't work on this chapter and get it over with. It's fixed now, so now I'm back in business.
Anyways, next time, Yuto Duels Sora, here's the preview.
As the team consisting of Serena, Shun, Tsukikage, and the newly joined Sawatari get pushed into a corner once again as the 3 backup Obelisk Force joins the Duel, Shark, O'Brien, and Gongenzaka join the Duel and help out. Meanwhile, as Yuto and Sora's Duel rages on, Yuya tells Yuto that he wants to help defeat Sora, and proceeds to tell Sora that he is inside Yuto and that he wants to regain his smile. As they Duel, it is a test for Yuya...should he continue to follow his father's ideals even after what he has witnessed in Yuto's memories during the whole time he was inside Yuto, or will he have to leave them in the dust and move on?
So, if you're confused on what I mean in the last sentence of the preview, I'll give an explanation.
This is one of the reasons why I had Yuya be absorbed also.
Since Yuya was technically 'unconscious' inside Yuto, he was basically in a coma, except he was basically experiencing all of Yuto's memories of the attack on Heartland, but to a much more horrible scale. He was stuck into a loop of these memories until he woke up and first communicated with Yuto properly, this got worse after the Duel with Kachidoki as going berserk worsened the nightmares.
Because of the loop, it scarred his initial outlook on life and he now questions whether Dueling for smiles like his father taught him to do is the right thing, especially in times of war. So basically, I made a more serious Yuya, who has a more serious outlook on life now, hope you guys don't get mad at this.
Matrixnis: Yeah, Yuya was really too childish in the anime, it's like with Judai/Jaden from Gx, who was a happy-go-lucky fella until Season 3 came along. About more 5ds characters, I don't know, I am considering on adding Aki thanks to Venomous Blade and you. About the prison arc, I don't know about that yet.
Mekyaku: I wasn't even thinking of Power Wall while making instinct, I just wanted Yuri to have a survival Card. Yuto and Yuri will most definitely battle down the road, Reiji vs Yuri is a most likely, unless my sucky memory kicks in and boots it out of my system entirely...just kidding, most likely gonna do a Reiji vs Yuri Duel.
