Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Ever since that night Allie with Sapphire, Pip, and Pip's friends were at Allie's house to treat Cloud who was still out cold.
"What happened?" Sapphire asked. "That other boy showed up claiming we were the Fusion Dimension, defeated your friend in a duel, and now he's gone and Cloud is unconscious."
"I don't know who he is." Pip said looking down real worried with Roscoe beside her, "Me, and Jack never seen him before."
"Should I have everybody come over?" Allie asked. "Maybe Zuzu can help."
"You can if you want." Shark told her.
Allie nodded before walking to send a message to You Show.
"Anything new Rio?" Alito asked her.
Rio had her hand placed on Cloud's chest leaning down before pulling back, "His heartbeat is normal, and breathing is stable. Overall nothing."
"So he's just asleep?" Sapphire asked.
"Could be. But he's been like this for these past couple of days now." Rio answered, "I don't know what happened with him, and Jack."
Allie walked back in at that. "They're on their way, but... this all happened because of the Fusion Dimension right?"
"Yes of course." Mizar answered to her, "How do you know that?"
"That boy who dueled your friend claimed this was the Fusion Dimension." Sapphire pointed out.
"He more meant how do you know of the Fusion Dimension before this." Girag clarified.
"Well..." Allie started before explaining what happened and how Yuya and the others told her and Cloud and then they told Sapphire and how they were planning on running away.
"Running away? You can't avoid them." Vector told them, "Obelisk Force are like bloodhounds."
"We wanted to run away before, but not now." Sapphire mentioned.
"Well still they will find you." Girag told her.
"She means we're not going to run away from people who hurt Cloudy." Allie explained.
Rio soon blinked looking back seeing Cloud's eyes twitching, "Hey, I think Cloud's waking up."
Allie and Sapphire ran to his side hearing that. Cloud grunted before slowly opening his eyes, "Nnnngg... Huh..."
"Cloud, are you alright?/Cloudy are you ok?" Sapphire/Allie asked.
"H-Huh...?" Cloud looked over seeing the two, "Allie... Sapphire..?"
Allie immediately hugged him while Sapphire started slightly tearing up.
"You were sleeping for days." Sapphire whispered.
"Ahh... my head..." Cloud groaned before coughing slightly, "My throat... it's so dry."
"I'll get you some water." Allie mentioned walking off.
Cloud sees the group along with Pip, "Pip...?"
She gasped. "How... how do you know my name?"
"That's... not the only thing I know... and Jack... he said for you to... stay with me." Cloud said to her sitting up rubbing his head.
Pip nodded. "I remember."
"Come here." Cloud told her.
She looked at Roscoe and the Barians nervously. They nodded as Roscoe licked her cheek comfortably. Pip smiled at that before walking towards Cloud. Cloud held her in a warm hug, "I'm so sorry."
"It... it's ok." she whispered hugging him back.
"I know all the things you, and Jack together." Cloud smiled to her softly, "And he's a great guy, and lucky to have you."
"Jack is amazing." Pip smiled before pausing and tearing up. "He... he's gone forever isn't he?"
"I don't know." Cloud admitted, "But one thing's clear, and it's that... I feel like I have new memories of him."
"You mean the invasion?" Shark asked him. "So you know what's coming."
"Not just that... Trailing from... he met Yuto, Shay, everyone all the way to this point." Cloud admitted, "And your Reginald 'Shark' Kastle."
As he said that bell rang. Girag opened the door as Allie hand a glass of water as Cloud took a sip, "Thanks Allie."
"You're welcome Cloudy." Allie smiled.
"Um... is a little red-haired girl in here?" Zuzu asked him.
"Zuzu!" Allie cried hearing that.
"Allie, is everything ok?" Zuzu asked walking in with Yuya, Tate, Frederick, Skip, and Yoko.
"Cloudy just woke up." Allie admitted.
"Hey guys." Cloud said to them with Sapphire beside him while patting Pip's back.
"Allie just asked us to come over, what happened?" Yuya asked him.
"I don't get it myself." Cloud admitted.
At that Sapphire explained what happened. They all looked horrified hearing that while Yuya swallowed nervously.
"How strong are they?" he asked.
They all looked horrified hearing that while Yuya swallowed nervously.
"How strong are they?" he asked.
"So what should we do?" Tate asked.
"Well... Allie, Sapphire, and I thought of running away." Cloud admitted.
"I think you should, this sounds too dangerous for you three to get involved." Skip agreed.
"But... after seeing all of those memories that's not an option." Cloud told them.
"How much longer do you think we have?" Sapphire asked.
"I don't know." Cloud admitted.
"Do you have any ideas?" Zuzu asked Shark and the other Barians.
"Don't know ourselves." Dumon admitted.
"Oh, what about the tournament?" Allie asked suddenly.
"We were just about at the second round." Girag answered, "He's not having his match for a while."
She nodded at that.
"Then... we got a lot of time to ourselves." Cloud admitted to Sapphire, and Allie.
"What about Pip?" Sapphire asked looking at her.
They looked over before Cloud asked, "Can you guys, give us, and Pip some time alone?"
"Can Roscoe stay?" Pip asked him.
Cloud at that turned to the dog before smiling, "Of course."
Pip nodded before everyone else left leaving the four kids and the dog alone.
"Pip what do you, and Jack do?" Allie asked her.
Pip smiled as she told them.
"Well what us, and Cloud do is different. But it does involve cuddling." Sapphire admitted to her.
"Well we will give you some cuddles if you like." Allie smiled to her.
Pip blushed at that since the only people she cuddled with were Jack, and Roscoe. "Um... I don't know."
"It's okay. Cloud is good at it, and we always feel deeply relaxed at it." Sapphire assured her, "I think your dog will like it too but I don't think he wants it."
"She's right." Allie agreed. "We know how you feel."
"We cuddle a lot together just to keep each other relaxed." Cloud said to Pip, "And I think Jack, and you do it too."
"Um... but I don't know you and I don't want to upset Jack." Pip admitted.
"Well... me, and Jack are somewhat connected." Cloud told her.
"Because of what happened right?" Allie asked. "What about that other boy though?"
"I don't know but we have the same faces so we're connected. In a way, I guess that means I'm Jack." Cloud admitted.
Roscoe barked at that.
"What?" Cloud asked him at that.
"I think he's saying you are. You smell Jack in him right?" Pip asked as Roscoe barked again.
"Well does that mean your okay with that?" Cloud asked Pip.
Pip blushed slightly but nodded. "O... ok."
"Roscoe?" Cloud asked the dog, "You wouldn't mind heading downstairs for us?"
Roscoe barked before walking off.
"Okay Pip come over here." Allie told her.
Pip blushed but nodded doing that. Sapphire rubbed her back, "Trust me girlfriend, you will be relaxed by the time it's done."
Pip nodded. "Um... ok then. You won't be upset though?"
They shook their heads no.
Meanwhile with the others...
"So who's Yuto, and Lulu?" Yuya asked the Barian's.
"Friends of ours, during the invasion they vanished." Rio answered sadly. "We didn't find any cards but still..."
"Well Mizar, and Jack mistake us for them." Zuzu explained, "What happened to them?"
"We don't know." Vector admitted. "Sure Yuto wasn't the best duelist but Lulu was with him so they should have been safe... Especially since his dragon is so powerful against high level monsters."
"Well we will help you guys out." Yuya told them.
"We appreciate that and..." Mizar started only for them to suddenly hear a gasp from upstairs.
"Guys?" Rio asked hearing that.
Allie was running down and looked nervous.
"Did something happened?" Tate asked her.
"He used Synchro, not Fusion." Allie said quickly.
"What?" Shark asked hearing that.
"The boy who dueled Jack and thought this was the Fusion Dimension... he used Synchro Monsters. Sapphire thought they might have been invaded too." Allie answered.
"That would make since why he thought that." Zuzu admitted.
"But if the Synchro Dimension was invaded what are we supposed to do?" Yuya asked fearfully. "We were supposed to go there after the tournament to try and find allies."
"I don't know. We should find allies from their anyway." Alito told him.
Yuya nodded at that.
"How is Pip doing?" Frederick asked Allie.
"She's ok, Cloudy and Sapphire are with her." Allie answered.
"How is Sapphire?" Yuya asked her.
"She's ok." Allie nodded before smiling.
Meanwhile...
"Well how is it?" Sapphire asked after Cloud hugged her to help her cope with her pain.
Pip had tears in her eyes.
Sapphire handed her a tissue.
"Jack..." Pip choked out wiping her eyes.
Sapphire softly hugged her close with Cloud hugging her too.
"I'm sorry." Cloud told her.
The next day...
Cloud had finished washing up walking in with the three girls.
"You're in the final match Cloudy." Allie mentioned.
"When is that?" Cloud asked.
"Half an hour, you're up against Riley." Sapphire answered. "I don't know how you weren't eliminated but if I had to guess... it's because of what's coming."
He nodded kissing both Allie, and Sapphire before turning to Pip, "Pippy?" She turned over as Cloud gave her a soft kiss on her lips, "That was from Jack."
Pip blushed at that.
"How was it last night?" Cloud asked her.
Pip blushed more. "Um... nice?"
"Well I'm glad, I'm able to give you satisfaction." Cloud smiled to her.
Pip nodded at that as they walked off. Cloud pulled out the card Jack gave him, Volcasaurus.
"Do you think it'll help you win?" Allie asked him.
"I don't know. We will find out." Cloud answered.
She nodded before both Allie and Sapphire kissed Cloud's cheeks for luck. Cloud smiled to them at that as they arrived at the arena.
"Good luck." Allie smiled as she and Sapphire went to take their seats.
Cloud nodded entering the field. He noticed Riley was already waiting but seemed to be looking up towards where Declan and Henrietta would be watching from.
"Hey you about ready?" Cloud asked with a smile.
Riley suddenly turned to him before just nodding. Cloud, and Riley prepared as Nico called, "Alright let's see what these two can do! In the Castle of Warriors!"

Let the duel begin!
"Who's first?" Chara asked her.
"You can go first." Riley answered.

"Okay let's do this!" Cloud called drawing, "And to start things off I'll use Scale 3 Dinomist Spinos, and Scale 6 Dinomist Rexs to set the Pendulum Scale!"

● Shuffle 1 card from your opponent's hand (at random) or their side of the field into the Deck, then this card gains 100 ATK.
"I can summon monsters capable of 4, and 5 all at the same time!" Cloud told him.
Riley nodded at that.
"And now I Pendulum Summon! Come out on, Dinomist Brachion, and Dinomist Plesios!" Cloud called as the two appeared.

Riley nodded again seeing the monsters.
"And 1 card down. Your turn." Cloud ended his turn.
Riley 1st Turn:
Riley drew her card before looking. "I activate Shutter Layer 2."
Shutter Layer 2
Continuous Spell Card
All cards your opponent controls are unaffected by your opponent's card effects on the field.
"Hm?" Cloud blinked.
"As long as this spell is active, cards on your field are unaffected by your card effects." Riley explained. "Next I'll summon C/C Critical Eye."
C/C Critical Eye

Level 3
Fiend
ATK: 1400
DEF: 1000
If this card is used as a Material for a Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Summon, the other Material(s) cannot be a monster you control.
"Huh. Never seen that before." Cloud admitted to her.
Riley just nodded. "Next I play Montage Fusion."
Montage Fusion

"Once per turn this spell takes a picture of one of your monsters and fuses it with one of my monsters."
"Huh?" Cloud asked as the camera snapped a photo of Brachion.

DEF: 0
"C/C Critical Eye" + 1 Level 5 or 6 WATER monster
When this card declares an attack: You can have this card gain ATK equal to the total ATK of all WATER monsters currently on the field (other than this card).
"Whoa..." Cloud said amazed, "Well here's this! Plesios ability lowers your monsters points by 100 for each Dinomist on the field! I have 4 right now!"
Plesios fired with his fan.
Water Sword of Battle: (ATK: 2400 - (4 * 100) = 2000)
"In that case C/C/C Water Sword of Battle will attack Dinomist Plesios, and thanks to his special ability he gains the attack points of all other water monsters on the field." Riley explained.
Water Sword of Battle: (ATK: 2000 + 2000 + 1700 = 5700)
"Whoa what?" Cloud asked in shock before running to an Action Card while Plesios flew him over.
"Action Cards won't help though." Allie mentioned nervously.
"I activate the trap, Dinomist Howling!" Cloud called activating a trap.
Dinomist Howling
Continuous Trap Card
When this card is activated: You can place 1 or 2 "Dinomist" Pendulum Monster(s) from your Deck in your Pendulum Zone, but you cannot Pendulum Summon monsters until the end of the next turn, except "Dinomist" monsters (even if this card leaves the field). Once per turn, if this card is already face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone: You can Tribute 1 "Dinomist" monster, then target 1 card your opponent controls; return it to the hand.
"And now by Tributing, Brachion your Water Sword goes back to your hand!" Cloud called.
The trap failed to do anything.
"Huh?" Cloud said seeing that.
"Shutter Layer 2's effect, your card are completely unaffected by your effects." Riley reminded him.
"Say what?" Cloud asked reaching to an Action Card as the attack struck as he cried out.
Cloud: 0000
Riley: 4000
Riley wins the duel!
"And with that, Riley wins the Junior division of the Arc-League Championship." Nico Smiley announced.
"Rats." Cloud grunted getting up before walking to Riley offering a hand, "Thanks for that duel Riley."
Riley looked surprised before nodding and taking it.
They shook as Cloud walked back. Allie gently hugged him. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah." Cloud nodded before apologizing, "Sorry if you guys were hoping, I can win."
"You can't win every match." Sapphire pointed out before frowning. "How much time do you think we have left?"
"I don't know." Cloud admitted, "But we will stick together all four of us."
He then noticed Roscoe being saying, "Five of us."
Allie, Pip, and Sapphire all nodded in agreement.
Ulrich362: Well Cloud ultimately lost to Riley, and... does that make three girlfriends for him now?
bopdog111: Not really three since 1 of them are with someone different but as Roscoe mentioned Cloud is now Jack so in way that meant he's somewhat is a boyfriend to Pip.
Ulrich362: Fair enough, though I have a bad feeling about the near future. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
