"In an unbelievable twists of things, Raika has managed to defeat Vincent on Team Mystic's behalf! That means that Team Mystic and Team Void are tied with one win each! That means that the deciding duel to determine which of these teams is the best is going to be this one! We have Yukina going up against Zash! This is certainly a duel all you duelists don't want to miss! It's going to happen very soon!" It certainly is great that Team Mystic made it this far, even more so that Raika helped them out. Still, things weren't making sense to them.

"Thanks to Raika, we made it to the final duel." Cindy said. "Still, I can't believe he actually helped us."

"Don't be fooled. He didn't do it for us. He had his own matters to settle." Yukina said as she remembered how Raika acted in the duel. "It looks like Raika doesn't want anything to do with the Black Ace anymore, but they won't seem to leave him be."

"That's right. The same time Felix and Kent were attacked, Snyder and some goons went after Raika." Marcus said. "I didn't think about it at the time, but the Black Ace had to have been after him."

"You think they wanted to get their hands on Life Destroyer again?" Cindy questioned.

"Maybe. Diego already managed to get his hands on two more, and gave them to two powerful and dangerous duelists just like Raika." Yukina said. "Diego might want Raika back on his side. At the very least, he wants Life Destroyer back."

"But what about Snyder? What does he have to do with any of this?" Marcus said.

"I don't know. All I do know is that with Diego, no one is safe." Yukina said. "He's a dangerous man that will do anything to get his way, not to mention cause havoc and destruction."

"I agree." All of them looked and saw that Justin and Sabaro walking in.

"Justin! Sabaro! Is something wrong?" Yukina questioned.

"Not exactly. We were hoping to talk about the latest developments involving Team Void." Sabaro said. They were all ears on this.

"When you told us that the Black Ace were the ones sponsoring Team Void, we did a little research and tried to dig out some intel that could be most useful." Justin said. "This is the first time they've made an appearance since Duel Battlers, and seeing Raika act against them is certainly an interesting development."

"Did you find something out?" Yukina questioned.

"As you might remember, the Black Ace's original agenda was to take control of the dark power in Malicious Fiend: Life Destroyer." Justin said. "Since their plan failed, they've been hiding out. During that time we learned a few things like how there are a total of six Malicious Fiends."

"Since the development of this tournament, we've learned the whereabouts of five of the six now." Sabaro said. "It is quite troubling to know that there are two of them in Diego's hands. We're starting to believe that Diego is using this tournament to find the six Malicious Fiends and take their power."

"In other words, he's just doing what he did last time. He's just continuing where he left off." Cindy said.

"But there's more to it than just that." Justin said. "The power the six Malicious Fiends generate can be quite dangerous. From what I can understand, most can't handle the power. It takes special conditions in order to use one of those cards, duelists that hold the power and endurance to handle the power."

"That's right. Raika was out of it for a while before he awoke when we first confronted Diego." Yukina said. "Then, after absorbing so much power, Raika lost control and the darkness was taking him over instead."

"Correct. I believe that Diego has also been trying to find duelists like Raika, duelists that is capable of handling the power those cards hold." Justin said. "He's already found that with this Vincent and Zash. As for why he entered the tournament, it's hard to say."

"It's possible that Diego is using the tournament as a way to recruit the powerful duelists he needs." Sabaro suggested. "We all know how cynical he is. All he wants is the dark power in those cards."

"But we still don't know the true objective with him entering in this tournament." Justin said. "That is why it's imperative for you to win this duel. Duel Battlers started because Henry was working for the Black Ace and helped them initiate it. That helped put their plans into action the first time. Winning this tournament of this caliber could give them even greater power, and we can't afford that."

"You're right. We can't allow Diego to run the most powerful team in the world when he wants to destroy the world." Yukina said. "If winning this tournament is needed for Diego's plans to happen, we have to stop him."

"Hold on. I want to know what Snyder has to do with any of this." Marcus said. "He doesn't have a Malicious Fiend! Why is he with Team Void?! How is he a part of this?!"

"That is a good question. It's possible that Diego believes your friend has the potential to wield one of the Malicious Fiends." Justin said. "If he doesn't, it could end up being very bad for him." Marcus didn't like the sound of that. That was when he realized something.

"Wait a minute!" Marcus said. "Snyder said that when he joined Team Void, the sponsor was funding the treatments that Dana needed! That means that the Black Ace are the ones paying for Dana's treatments!"

"Knowing Diego, he only did that to help himself." Yukina said.

"Snyder must have agreed to join Team Void for your friend Dana to get better." Justin said. "However, doing so practically means he made a deal with a demon. That's never good."

"And it might also be why Snyder is so angry at you. No telling how many lies Diego told him just so he could have Snyder battle for him." Sabaro said. "It wouldn't surprise me that Diego did all of this so he could have revenge on all of you for foiling his plans the first time."

"Snyder... You did all of this to help Dana." Marcus said as he couldn't believe this was happening. Snyder was just trying to help their friend, but he practically threw himself to darkness in doing so.

"Diego's gone too far. He's forcing friends to fight each other and turn them against each other." Cindy said. "Not to mention he's hanging the life of someone over their heads."

"You're right. We have to put a stop to the Black Ace." Yukina said.

"Be careful, Yukina. Remember that the Black Ace was quite interested in you. You were the ones that foiled their plans the first time." Justin reminded. "They'll want revenge on you, and I'm sure they're ready for you this time." He was right about that. Diego might be ready for Yukina this time.

...

Diego

"It won't be long now." Diego said as he helped himself to a refreshing drink. "Only one duel left, and it's with Yukina." He was looking forward to Yukina being crushed. Just then, Snyder came walking in.

"You wanted to see me?" Snyder questioned.

"Yes. Go and see how your friend Dana is doing." Diego said.

"What?! Before the final duel is about to start?!" Snyder said.

"You're not the one dueling, and you aren't needed here. I'm sure you want to know how she's feeling." Diego said. "Go on and go. You earned it. In fact, if all has gone well, she should be doing all better."

"Really?! Thank you so much!" Snyder said as that was such great news. He dropped everything and took off to see Dana.

"It's all falling into place." Diego said. "Now it's your turn." He said as he turned to Zash who was also in the room. If there's anyone that might be able to beat Yukina, it might be this dangerous duelist himself.

...

Team Mystic

"I'm not scared of Diego or the Black Ace. I'll never forgive them for what they did to my father, especially Diego." Yukina said.

"I'm aware of that, but you still must be careful. The Black Ace learn from their mistakes. They take the information they can gather to use it to their advantage, and they're sure to have a lot on you." Sabaro said. "In fact, we think that is what your next opponent is for." Sabaro showed info they had on Zash, but there wasn't really much. "The opponent your up against is Zash. We tried to find information on him, but there's absolutely nothing. No personal information or anything. We can't seem to find any history about him. Everything about him is a complete mystery. That might be how Diego wants it."

"We believe Zash might be on the same level as Raika, especially since he's considered the leader of Team Void." Justin warned. "It's possible that Zash has been shaped for the purpose of defeating you."

"Just like Hebi from Duel Battlers." Yukina said. "I remember when I faced him, his purpose was to crush me."

"Yes, but Zash is different." Justin said. "There's really no telling what he is capable of. Yukina, you must be careful." Yukina is walking into a dangerous duel against Zash. She knows little about him, but he might know a lot about her.

...

The Duel Field

"It's now time to start the final duel of the Worldwide Supreme Tournament!" M.C. announced as this was going to be the duel that decides it all. "The two will decide the outcome of this grand tournament will be between Yukina of Team Mystic and Zash of Team Void!" Both sides came out with them going into the most important battle of them all. Knowing what she knows now, Yukina plans to settle things with the Black Ace here and now.

"I thought we were done with you creeps, but I beat Raika and I'll beat you the same!" Yukina claimed with Zash welcoming the challenge. Both of them made their way out to the dueling field, but there's so much more to this than others think.

"Go, Yukina!" Muyang called.

"Do not let your guard down with him!" Yuxuan called.

"Kick his butt!" Marcus called.

"You can beat him!" Cindy called.

"Everything has been leading to this moment. These two carry the hopes of their teams and who knows how many other people. With the scored tied with one win each, it's doubtful that they are going to back down and give it any less than their all!" Every duelist watched closely as this is one match not to be missed. No longer a duel for friendly sport, but one where Yukina has to try and put an end to the Black Ace's plans.

"Yes, Zash." Diego said as even he was looking forward to this. "Avenge the failures we faced when Yukina foiled our plans. Have her friends enter the void of despair and misery."

"The Black Ace... They are certainly a dangerous bunch that desire to destroy our way of life. They're deplorable, but now we have to bet all of it on Yukina once again." Justin said.

"You must win, Yukina. The Black Ace must be stopped." Sabaro said. Yukina faced off against Zash with him giving off a dark and ominous feeling, but she won't back down.

"You don't scare me, Zash!" Yukina said. "Dueling is suppose to be a fun competitive competition! It's not a way used to hurt people!" She called, but Zash didn't seem to get whatever. "The power that is generated through dueling should be used to help people! It should be used for fun, responsibly, and to bring people together! You and Diego just want to use it to destroy everything and hurt so many! This tournament was meant to ignite the dueling hearts and spirits all around the world for that very reason, and you and your buddies ruined it! For the friends and rivals I've made through this tournament, I will not lose!"

"Whatever, motormouth! I don't really care!" Zash said. "I think it's time someone showed you what power really looks like!" He pulled out his duel disk and was ready for a match. Yukina refuses to lose in this duel. She got hers ready and was set on winning.

"Let's duel!" They both said as it was finally starting.

"Here we go! Like or not, it's the final duel of the Worldwide Supreme Tournament!"

"And I'm going first!" Yukina said as she made the first move. "I'll start by playing Wild Nest! By sending a winged beast Wild Ally to the graveyard, like my Wild Ally Eagle, I can summon two egg tokens!" She claimed with two eggs appearing on the field. "Next, I activate Wild Spawning! It has the same effect, but I have to send a fish to the graveyard instead, like my Wild Ally Shark!" She discarded another card and got two more eggs. "I now activate Egg Hatchery! This spell will hatch all of my eggs into a Wild Ally!" All the eggs began cracking and soon broke apart into monsters. "I summon Wild Ally Giraffe, Wild Ally Snake, Wild Ally Badger, and wild Ally Bat!" She summoned out her four monsters, including a new one which was a bat. Each one had 900, 1500, 1900, and 1000atk points. "Now that I have my giraffe, I can use it's special ability to bring back my Wild Ally Shark from my graveyard!" Thanks to her giraffe, her shark emerged on the field and had 2300atk points. "Since I summoned a Wild Ally from my graveyard, it triggers my bat's ability! It only works once when it's on the field, but I can now draw a card for every Wild Ally I have on the field! I now draw five cards!" She claimed with her drawing five cards.

"Amazing! Not only did Yukina managed to pull off so many summons at once, but she also replenished her hand!"

"I place two cards facedown and that ends my turn!" Yukina said.

"About time. My turn!" Zash said as he drew his next card and it ended up being the very card that beat Arthur: Gate of the Forsaken. That's just the card he was hoping for. "It's impressive summoning all those monsters, but they're all about to disappear. I activate Hades Inferno! By sending a card in my deck to the grave, all monsters are destroyed!" Fire suddenly erupted on the field and was destroying all of Yukina's monsters. The way Zash looked through the flames, it was like he was some sort of insidious demon. It already looks like Yukina's chances of winning are going up in flames, but she must find a way to win.
