bopdog111: After all of that what will the boys do now?
Ulrich362: Well, they all have friends and people they at least have feelings for. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end.
bopdog111: Duel Academy is making it's move.
Ulrich362: True, and things are being set in motion that will effect everyone.
bopdog111: Indeed.
Ulrich362: Well, enjoy the chapter.

In Heartland City...
Jack, and Pip were watching a small movie which is a favorite of his called The Batman vs Dracula. Pip looked scared of the movie and was slightly hiding her eyes. Jack took her hand assuringly with a smile. Pip blushed at that just before a vampire appeared on screen and she cried out in fear. Jack pulled her close to him at that.
"Did you have to pick a scary movie?" she asked.
"Don't worry it's not a scary movie. It's a Halloween festive kind." Jack assured her.
"Well... if you say so." Pip admitted only to pause. "Roscoe, what's wrong?"
Roscoe was staring out the window with his fur standing on end and he was growling.
"He might be sensing something disturbing." Jack told her.
As if on cue the moment Jack said that an explosion occurred in the distance.
"What the!?" Jack asked standing up before looking out the window.
People outside looked shocked and confused as old looking machine soldiers and masked men walked through the city only for one of them to press a button on his Duel Disc as a purple light enveloped a small group of people before fading to reveal cards where the people had been as the masked man smirked. Jack looked shocked before saying, "Pip there is a hidden trap door here somewhere. You, and Roscoe hide in there."
"What about you?" Pip asked fearfully.
"I'll find Shay, Yuto, and Lulu." Jack answered, "Whatever you, and him do don't come out."
Pip looked really scared but nodded. With that Jack ran out to find them. He saw dozens if not hundreds of these masked men attacking random people as enormous mechanical dog monsters destroyed buildings creating more fire and destruction. Jack grunted before running around to find the three.
"Well, look what we have here." smirked one of the masked figures. "Another piece of Xyz Trash to turn into a card."
Hearing that Jack turned to see 3 of them are there, "What do you want?"
"You don't need to worry about that, it'll be over soon enough." one of them smirked walking up to him. "You'll just be another card to take back to Duel Academy."
"Duel Academy?" Jack asked hearing that, "If I had a book I would know about it... But this isn't a time for reading, nor is it a time for stalling."
Suddenly something grabbed Jack and he was pulled into the air.
"W-Whoa!" Jack cried startled.
"Jack, come on!" Shay told him. "It's dangerous around here."
"Shay!" Jack cried as he climbed up on Shay's monster which was a black falcon, "Where's Yuto, and Lulu?"
"We got split up, I don't know what's going on but I don't like this." Shay answered.
Jack nodded at this. With that the two of them raced off only to see more and more of those mechanical monsters destroying their city as people were crying out in terror along with the occasional flash of purple light. Jack looked around grunting at this.
"Is Pip safe?" Shay asked him.
"She's in the trap door." Jack answered.
Shay nodded. "Alright, then the most important thing is finding the others."
Jack nodded as they searched around
Meanwhile...
A red-haired young man was running through the city trying to avoid the masked men. "Yuto, Lulu this way!"
The two said people were running with him to avoid the masked men.
"This can't be real can it?" Lulu asked nervously. "What's going on Dennis?"
The red-haired young man frowned. "I don't know, but I don't want to be anywhere near those guys. We need too find Shay and the others."
Then in the distance they see a white, and gold warrior with a red 39 in it's shoulder attacking one of the machines destroying it.
"That's Yuma, come on!" Dennis called running towards the warriors just as an explosion occurred causing some debris to separate him from Lulu and Yuto.
"Agh!" they cried at this.
Yuto groaned getting up, "Are you okay Lulu?"
"I think so." Lulu replied. "Dennis, are you alright?"
"Yeah... but I can't get to you guys? The rubble is in the way!" he answered.
"We'll go another way!" Yuto told Dennis.
"Alright, but be careful." Dennis told him.
With that Yuto, and Lulu ran off in another location.
"Well, looks like you came right to me after all." mentioned a cloaked figure. "You must be Lulu and Yuto correct?"
They stopped as Yuto asked, "Who are you?"
"Someone who was given a very important job to do." the figure stated. "I'm to be... an escort of sorts. To escort the two of you to Duel Academy with me."
"Duel Academy?" Lulu asked hearing that.
"Yes." the figure stated before smirking. "Though, I have a feeling you two don't plan on just coming with me do you?"
"I have a feeling your not really a good guy." Yuto glared.
The figure frowned at that. "Aren't good and evil subjective? Besides I..."
He suddenly paused taking a second glance at Lulu only for his eyes to widen in shock. 'What?'
"Yuto?" Lulu asked nervously from the glance.
"Tell you what, I'm a fair person. You two can duel me, if I lose I'll leave no questions asked." the figure said suddenly. "Of course should I win, you'll come with me. Is that a fair arrangement?"
The two looked each other before Yuto said, "Fine."
The figure nodded activating his Duel Disc. "Ladies first?"
They both got ready themselves.
Jack, and Shay looked around until something attacked the Falcon as it screeched falling down.
"Shay!" Jack cried out at that.
They crashed on the ground as Jack groaned slowly getting up before noticing who shot them down.
It was a boy wearing a blue blazer, and having blue hair with glasses.
"Who are you?" Jack asked him.
"Your worst nightmare." the boy answered before moving to press a button on his Duel Disc only to pause. "You're a duelist?"
Jack slowly got up saying, "Yeah I am."
"Alright, in that case I'll crush you then card you." the boy stated.
Jack glared standing up seeing Shay was unconscious before saying, "Alright fine!"
With that he activated his Duel Disk with the boy.
"GAME ON!"

"You can take the first move, not that it'll help you at all." the boy smirked.

"Now I set 1 monster face-down, and place 1 card down. Your turn." Jack ended.

The boy started laughing. "Only 400?"
"When Jiangshi is flipped, I take a Ghostrick from my Deck, and add it to my hand equal to the total level of all Ghostricks I have right now." Jack said ignoring him adding a monster called Ghostrick Jack Frost."
The boy just shrugged.
"Then I summon Ghostrick Mummy." Jack said as a mommy rose from the ground growling.

"Now go all three of you!" Jack called as the monsters charged at the boy.
The boy braced himself as the attacks hit.
(Syrus: 0900)
"Big deal." the boy mentioned.

"Is that it?" the boy questioned.
"Not yet because Skeleton's Special ability switches him to face-down defense mode." Jack answered as said skeleton switched, "Then I set a card. Your turn."

"Now thanks to Power Bond my monster's attack points are doubled." the boy grinned.

"But I'm not done, because I also have the spell Limiter Removal to double the attack points of all my Machine Monsters."

(This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.)
"What?" the boy questioned.
"When you attack, I can use this to Rank-Up an Xyz monster on my field to summon something 1 Rank Higher!" Jack called as Alucard flew up.
The boy glared at that.
"Dark Spirit! Manifest through to the Order of the Fiendish Nightmares, and rise through to fight creatures of the dark! Rank-Up Xyz Change!" Jack chanted placing the card, "Manifest Rank 4! Number 70: Malevolent Sin!"

"Fine, Jumbo Drill can still destroy your monster." the boy stated.
"Actually he can't." Jack told him, "Number's can only be destroyed in battle by other Numbers."
"Even if your monster survives you'll still lose all of your life points." the boy pointed out.
"Not to a little friend of mine. Come, Rainbow Kuriboh!" Jack called as a blue kuriboh with a rainbow wedge on it's head appeared wrapping around the boy's monster.

"What's that thing?" the boy questioned.
"It's Rainbow Kuriboh. When you attack, I can equip this little guy to your monster, and by doing that it no longer can attack." Jack answered.
The boy's eyes widened. "This isn't over, you haven't seen the last of me."
With that he ended his turn before vanishing in a blue glow.
Jack: 4000
Unknown: 0000
Jack wins the duel!
Jack sighed before turning to Shay running to him, "Shay wake up."
Shay winced before opening his eyes. "Jack? What happened?"
"We were shot down." Jack answered.
"Are you alright?" Shay asked weakly.
"Yeah. Took care of one of these invaders." Jack answered, "What bout you?"
"I think I..." Shay started before wincing. "My leg."
Hearing that Jack took his arm, and wrap it around his shoulders while taking Shay's shoulders with one of his arms, and started to pull him with all his strength to a safe location.
"We need to find Lulu and Yuto." Shay reminded him.
"Your injured. We need to get you to a safe spot so you can recover." Jack pointed out.
Shay frowned but nodded.

(Lulu: 1200)

"Wow... you two are really strong. If I was like I was before I'd be finished." the cloaked figure admitted.
Yuto grunted, "Same to me."
The cloaked figure paused hearing that before drawing his card and smirking. "All you two have on your fields is that Break Sword right?"
The two grunted.
"I summon Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio, and then by sending a card to the graveyard I can summon Predaplant Spinodionaea to the field." the cloaked figure stated as the monsters appeared.

"Three monsters..." Lulu grunted.
"And your fields are empty, I've enjoyed our match but this is where it ends." the cloaked figure smirked. "Wipe out their life points."
The three charged on at them.
"Yuto!" Lulu cried to her friend.
They could only watch as the attacks hit.
Lulu: 0000
Yuto: 0000
Winner cloaked figure.
"I win, which means you'll be coming back to Duel Academy with me." the cloaked figure smirked walking over and kneeling near them while pressing something on his Duel Disc.
They vanished from sight. Moments later several people arrived including Shay and Jack.
"Is everyone okay?" Jack asked.
"I think so, there are a lot of those masked guys but they're not super strong. As long as we're careful we should be ok." Yuma replied.
"Has anyone seen Lulu, or Yuto?" Shay asked.
"No, but they should be fine right?" Cathy asked. "They're both really skilled duelists."
"No..." They looked to see a blonde haired man walking over with purple eyes, "I can't contact them."
"What do you mean you can't contact them?" Shay questioned before wincing.
"I can't get their signal Shay. And I can't find any of the cards the people were made into be them. They might've been kidnapped." the man told him.
"Kidnapped!" Yuma asked in shock. "But who took them?"
"Those people who came here." Jack grunted.
Shay screamed and punched a broken wall nearby. Jack started to tend to his hand.
"What do we do now?" asked a girl with blue hair.
"Now... We get revenge." Shay growled.
"Well... we know where to start." a purple-haired boy mentioned handing Shay a pin.
Shay take the pin.
"What's that, Shark?" Jack asked him.
"I don't know, but one of them had it." he answered.
Jack looked before calling Pip. The phone rang for a while before. "Jack...?"
"You, and Roscoe okay?" Jack asked her.
"He's staying with me... but I'm scared," Pip whispered.
"Well don't worry, I'm coming over right now." Jack told her.
"Ok." Pip said quietly.
With that Jack headed out arriving back, and opened the trapdoor. Almost immediately Roscoe jumped out and started growling only to pause when he noticed it was Jack.
"Did they find you, or Pip?" Jack asked him.
"No... nobody found us." Pip answered as she climbed out. "Is it ok? Are they gone?"
Jack hugged her, and she could hear crying.
"Jack?" Pip asked hearing that.
"Lulu... And Yuto... They had been taken by them..." Jack stuttered trying to talk clearly.
"What? That... what do we do?" Pip asked nervously.
"I...I don't know..." Jack said before full blown tearing up.
Pip hugged him before frowning. "I'm sorry."
Jack just stood there crying.
With Peewee...
Peewee was with Leo, Patty, Dexter, and Luna on a visit from there.
"Go on Patty." Luna smiled encouragingly.
Hearing that the boys looked over with Boris on Peewee's head. Patty blushed at that before swallowing. "Um... Peewee? Do you think the two of us... could... maybe hang out tomorrow?"
"Hang out?" Peewee asked.
Patty nodded. "Yeah... I mean... do you want to go out?"
Peewee stayed quiet asking, "Sir Leo what does 'hang out' mean?"
"Huh?" Leo asked in confusion. "It means spend time together doing stuff... like how we all spend time together, but I guess just spend time with Patty?"
Peewee looked over to Patty hearing that. She was blushing. Boris crawled off Peewee's head down, and reached Patty getting on her hand. Peewee smiled at that. "Boris likes the idea."
"Do you?" she asked.
"Of course." Peewee said standing up.
She smiled at that. "Ok."
"Sir Leo, Sir Dexter, Miss Luna if you'll excuse me." Peewee said walking off.
"Ok." they nodded.
He arrived to where Yugo, and Rin are, "Sir Yugo, Miss Rin?"
They were nowhere to be seen. Peewee blinked before giving them a call. The signal came through.
"... you two can fight me if you want, but we'll be going back to Duel Academy." mentioned a feminine voice Peewee didn't recognize.
"Hm?" Peewee blinked hearing that.
He heard sounds of a duel. Peewee at that ran back in, "Miss Patty we should wait. I think Miss Rin, and Sir Yugo are in trouble."
"Huh, what do you mean?" Leo asked in shock.
"Should we split up and look for them?" Dexter asked.
"Splitting up is not a good idea." Peewee told him, "Some woman on the phone was challenging them to a match, and said she'll take them to a 'Duel Academy'."
"Well... did you hear anything that might tell us where they are?" Leo asked.
"No." Peewee admitted.
Patty frowned. "Then... we can't find them?"
"We can. I can sense their close." Peewee said as Boris climbed on his head before squeaking going into the left sleeve pocket, "Boris can too, and his direction says their left from here."
The other nodded running after him. They stopped at two paths as Boris climbed on Peewee's head sniffing before squeaking climbing to the right pocket as Peewee ran to the direction as they soon see them. Rin was on the ground and Yugo looked to be struggling.
(Rin: 0000)
(Yugo: 0700)
(Unknown: 2200)
"Sir Yugo, Miss Rin!" Peewee cried arriving.
The monster charged destroying a white, and green dragon as Yugo cried out landing hard.
Yugo: 0000
Rin: 0000
Winner unknown.
"Yugo, Rin!" Luna cried.
"Wait... Rin?" Dexter asked seeing the girl.
The woman glanced at them. "Sorry, but they lost so they'll be coming with me."
With that a blue flash of light enveloped them before fading to reveal the three of them were gone. They grunted as they looked to see their gone. Peewee knelled down at this. Patty embraced him. "I'm so sorry."
"...It's fine." Peewee said before standing up, "Was that woman a Top? Because if she is she now has a enemy."
"She looked like Rin though." Luna admitted uncertainly.
"So Miss Rin had a sister that had wanted to take family name's?" Peewee asked, "Whatever it is she now has a thing coming."
"Yeah... come on, I have an idea." Leo mentioned suddenly.
Hearing that the four turned to him.
"Yusei and the others might be able to help." Leo explained.
That said they followed him.
Ulrich362: Well... not good.
bopdog111: Duel Academy had made it's move. But instead of 1 person they took 2.
Ulrich362: Exactly, and for the curious the reason they took two people instead of one and the reason Celina was sent to Synchro instead of Yuri is in fact related to the events in chapter one which will be expanded upon at a future point.
bopdog111: And next chapter isn't where canon events are taken place yet. Instead we get a chapter of Iruma's time, and where he, and Sera accidentally discovered something.
Ulrich362: Yup, so look forward to that. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
