Okay let's see what questions are here today.
Question 1 from Tony Anderson:
Would you consider this match, though it was a Team Match, to be one of your toughest duels yet?
Dan: Yeah it sure is a tough match.
Question 2 from Unknowedz:
Before going to Arc v, have you been into any Yugioh tournaments?
Dan: Not official tournaments at least. And I haven't won any of them.
Before we go for round 3 we have a character from the Xyz Dimension coming in seeking urgent aid. Who is this character? Let's find out. And also there is also something new, Chapter Summaries!
Summary: Trudge had let Dan won so he can continue for his goal of facing Team 5D's, but that was only the beginning for the end of the second round of the Team Matches. And now while they were getting ready, an unexpected visitor appears...
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! as a whole but I own any OCs! ENJOY!
It had been an hour since Team Lancers won their match against Team Security. But Dan told them they were lucky that Trudge didn't pick up an Action Card for Last Chance to be used, and that he didn't had countered against Trudge. Despite that Dan was congratulated for his efforts, and came up with a powerful strategy that involved Dennis, and Celina's help. Dan only said it's only what he thought of from coming up with plans with Dennis, and Celina saying he can't take all of the credit.
Right now Dan is working on his Deck for the night working to find out what cards to use in Round 3. He might be against Sergey, Shay again, or even Yusei. He has to prepare, and needs to be careful in his work because 1 wrong card can be a bad thing to happen in duels. Lesson one about him is that he always make Decks that have a balance of 20 monsters, and 10 Spell/Trap Cards each. It helps assist him with his plans, and make sure he gets what he needs. And Ray had also given him some Deck tops also making plans to augment new plans in it.
"Dan, you should get some sleep soon." Ray told him worried for his condition.
"I know, Ray... But it never hurts to make sure your deck is prepared for what's going on ahead... If I can't beat Sergey then Allie, and Kit's efforts are for nothing, and what's more Roget won't pay for his crimes..." Dan said to her still working, "I want to make sure he regrets doing stuff like that..."
"I know but it isn't worth exhausting yourself over..." Ray replied to him.
Dan sighed before smiled, "I know..."
He does feel tired since it's late but doesn't let fatigue cloud over his mind wanting to make sure he's prepared for Round 3, and so he will be ready to battle Sergey, Shay, Celina, Yusei, Yuya, Yugo, or Sayer. If he loses against one of them then his goal to get Roget to take responsibility for his actions will disappear, and if that happens Roget will continue his tyrannical rule. Not only that since Roget is from the Fusion Dimension it's also another reason why he should beat him.
Finally deciding to call it a night he yawned walking to bed only to notice something was glowing somewhere out the window, "What...?"
Leaning it he sees someone was kneeling before raising up looking around, "So this is a different dimension eh? Dad, and Quinton better made sure I'm in coordinates where Shay, and Yuto are last seen..."
Hearing that Dan widen his eyes before asking, "That voice, is that... Guys! Guys!"
He ran out to get the Lancers to talk to this person.
(Cue Theme: Hyper Drive)
Going fast makes me feel alive.
My heart beats in hyper drive.
Do you think you can win?
Only if I lose.
Just let destiny choose.
[Chorus]
I can hear you breathin'.
I can see you comin'.
I can feel the wind.
It's blowing me around.
Take a shot at me runnin' side by side.
It's a blur... as I go by.
[Chorus]
I can hear you breathin'.
I can see you comin'.
I can feel the wind.
It's blowing me around.
See the sun arising.
Fire in the sky.
Greatness thrusts itself into our lives!
Meanwhile...
Sergey was practicing hard as usual with the cards Sayer, and Roget gave him to support his Earthbound Deck as he called, "Come forth!"
At that a huge beast with red lines appeared screeching with a hard demeanor. Sergey smirked at seeing this at hard progress. But he soon frowned looking down with a tear building in his right eye. He knew he was a monster, or so would people would call him. But they don't know the full story, and if they knew they wouldn't be quick to judge him. Now he is thinking about his past, and why exactly he was the Dueling Destroyer to begin with.
Flashback 5 Years Ago...
A younger Sergey with brown hair was walking around for something in the ruins Commons area where several people are tending to things before seeing a blonde hair girl working on something with her back turned to her as he grinned, "What, no 'hi' Rachel?"
Surprised the girl Rachel looked over with a surprised smile, "Nick, is that you?"
The younger Sergey or known as Nick walked smiling, "Great to see, Sector Security still haven't caught you."
"Hey, that's not a nice thing to say. I'll have you know that even this does slow me a bit, I am still able to work fast." Rachel grinned to him turning around revealing she's at least halfway pregnant, "Besides it's not that big enough."
"Relax, I was just teasing ya, Rach." Nick said to her hugging her as she hugged back, "Where's Terry?"
"He's scouting out as usual. That brother of mine is always so insistent in his lines of work." Rachel said with a grumble, and a bit of a pout which Nick chuckled, "It's not that funny you know!"
"I know." Nick said with a smile, "Terry may be a klutz, and a control freak but he means well to keep us safe."
"I've heard that." a brown man walked over with a pout, "That isn't nice to say about me."
"You know it's true that your clumsy Terry." Nick grinned which made Rachel giggled, "Nice to mention your also a slow one, always insisting that Sector Security doesn't plan anything, getting frightened at the slightest of things, and-"
"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT we get the freaking point!" Terry yelled with an annoyed tick, "You may be my sister's boyfriend, and my nephew's father, but that doesn't mean, I won't get you a whooping if you continue that kind of talk!"
"For the thousandth time, Terry, we don't know if it's gonna be a boy." Rachel said annoyed crossing her arms, "You need to not let that pride of your's take you over."
Sighing Terry said, "I know, sis... I just want to be treated like someone other then a klutz..."
"Maybe you will once we take back New Domino from the Tops just as soon as one of us makes the Friendship Cup." Nick suggested as they all chuckled at this before Rachel froze before smiling rubbing her stomach, "Started kicking?"
"Yeah. I think he or she likes that we settle our differences." Rachel smiled to him.
Terry said, "Well like I said before, I will make sure he grows up to a peaceful world, and won't have to endure what we were forced too."
"Well not point standing around eh?" Nick grinned as he, and Terry walked off as Rachel watched on with a smile before getting back to work.
Flashback End...
'Rachel, Terry, my child... I won't forget you three.' Sergey thought looking up where the window is at the sky, 'I am working to try to make up for everything I've done, and... Make sure he pays.'
A door slide open as Roget walked in, "Sergey, you seem to be distracted. You were still thinking about that woman?"
Sergey told him in his monotone, "My top priority is preparing to decrown Jack Atlas, as you ordered."
"So true... But that's not your only priority is it?" Roget guessed turning around as Sergey looked down grunting, "I can you read you as clear as a book, you still think of that woman, why would she love someone who only knows to mercilessly attacks people?"
"Grr..." Sergey didn't respond to something.
"I've told you many times before to just give up on her. It's clear that she was faking it to give you false hope, as I was the one who made you what you are today." Roget said to him before pressing a button on his Duel Disk as electrical jolts electrocuted Sergey causing him to scream for a few seconds before stopping as Sergey went down all fours as smoke was rising from his body, "She abandoned you as I told you over again. And now take it into your head, and don't let her distract you."
With that said he walked out leaving Sergey only as he growled, 'I can't do anything against him... Rachel... I will make sure your death does not go unpunished against him.'
Meanwhile...
"What, someone from the Xyz Dimension?" Shay asked in shock after being woken up by Dan about the visitor.
"Yes. He said 'Quinton', and from hearing his voice, I know who that is!" Dan said to him, "Not only that he's looking for you, and Yuto!"
"Come on. We should might as well find out what's going on." Yuto decided as they nodded heading out.
They looked around before the mentioned person looked over from a few feet, "Shay, Yuto!"
It was a blonde haired man with a scar on his right side of his face along with having on a formal medieval-style attire that consists of a long flowing coat with white pants, boots and a shirt which all feature a curly, high-class pattern.
"Quattro!" Yuto cried as they ran to him, "How did you get here?"
Quattro grinned saying, "Thank Dad, and Quinton for prepping that machine in time! And I'm glad I didn't get lost. So did you find Lulu, and figure out Duel Academy's motives?"
"Not yet." Yuto admitted grimly looking down, "We're vastly outnumbered, and we are in need of allies to battle Duel Academy. They have much more powerful allies then we thought."
"I get ya, well I'm here too-" Quattro suddenly notices Dennis, and glared, "What is HE doing here?"
"I know you hate me Quattro but believe when I say, I'm a changed man." Dennis said raising his hands in surrender.
"Believe it or not Quattro but Dennis is saying the truth." Shay confirmed to him, "Things have changed involving us since we last met."
Quattro stared before shrugging with a smirk, "Whatever if he's on our side that's all right by me."
"You always were one to get things through." Dan admitted staring at Quattro in awe.
Quattro noticing the Lancers asked, "So these are the allies?"
"We're part of the Dimensional Team known as the Lancers. We're fighting Duel Academy to try, and stop their motives." Declan answered that question, "I am Declan Akaba the Founder, and Leader of the Lancers."
"We'll glad cause what's left of Heartland needs some urgent help." Quattro said getting serious, "Something is happening to Shark, and the others!"
"Shark? What do you mean?" Yuto asked him.
Quattro answered saying, "I don't know how but their powers from being Barians is emerging, and their now fighting with Duel Academy."
"Shark, Dumon, Rio, Vector, Alito, Girag, and Mizar are fighting you guys now?" Dan asked in shock which Quattro turned to him confused, "But that doesn't make sense they been turned back to humans, and are now peaceful with Astral World, and Earth right?"
"Uh... yeah. How do you know that short stuff?" Quattro asked him.
"That's Dan Kizami. He's one of our most loyal friends, and also the most important." Yuto introduced, "We have a tale to tell you."
Minutes later...
They explained to Quattro back at the inn about where Dan came from, and why he knows so much about Shark, and the others. To say Quattro is awe-struck is an understatement.
"Wait... He seen everything from Yugi's adventures all the way to where Yuma became the guy he is now?" Quattro asked in shock.
"A little bit from here also." Yuya admitted, "But he came here before he can watch more like he said."
"And that his knowledge can help against Duel Academy. Not to mention he's also supportive, and influential." Celina said to him.
Quattro turned to Dan, "So you seen what me, and my brothers done for Dad didn't you?"
"Yeah..." Dan nodded before looking down, "It taught me how much a price for revenge can be, and that vengeance is always something to rear it's ugly head over. I don't blame Vet-I mean... Byron for wanting revenge against Dr. Faker to open the portal for Barian World when he met Vector but still... He treated you, Quinton, and Trey as puppets, tools, nothing involving family! I would've not liked him forever had he carried out his revenge even after hearing why Dr. Faker had done so to him, and Kazuma so he can save Hart from his condition worsening. And after hearing your reasons during your duel with Shark in the World Duel Carnival... I wish, I was there to help you out so that you have nothing to worry about."
Throughout that speech Quattro stared as Riley hugged her boyfriend while Celina rubbed his back as Quattro grinned, "Don't get sappy on me pipsqueak."
Dan looked up hearing that.
"Your a good kid, and that's saying something." Quattro grinned, "Though you shouldn't get involved in our goal for getting back at Faker, at least we had made up for everything thanks to Yuma. I am now able to continue my fanservice without worry."
Dan smiled at this closing his eyes.
"That aside what about the Emperors?" Shay asked Quattro getting back to business.
Quattro answered to him, "For some reason their Barian Power is building back at them, and they are now siding with Duel Academy against us. I don't get it, I thought that we were done fighting the Barians."
"We are but it seems that something is making them fight." Yuto admitted, "What that is, I don't have a clue but we should be careful."
"And speaking of which I gotta see how these people fight. If they don't mind that is." Quattro said to them.
"It's a bit late for that." Julia admitted to him.
"I'll take him." Tate said to them.
Quattro grinned to him, "Your a brave man. Alright get ready cause I'll spoil my fans!"
"That's Quattro." Dan said showing his head with a smile.
A few minutes later...
Tate, and Quattro got ready for their late night duel as everyone watched only for Quattro to smirk.
"Crossover activated." Tate's Duel Disk said.
Crossover
Action Field Spell
You can use Action Cards, but you can only have 1 Action Card in your hand.
"Huh?" Quattro looked around seeing Crossover making itself known.
"You'll figure it out soon. This is the Lancers way of fighting which is something Duel Academy doesn't have." Tate explained.
"Alright, I'm a quick learner." Quattro shrugged with a grin.
"DUEL!"

Egg Head's eyes glowed shooting bolts to Tate who grunted. (Tate: 3200)
'He didn't increase Egg Head's level?' Dan thought confused.
"And now I use both my Gimmick Puppets to build the Overlay Network!" Quattro called as the two shot up entering the Overlay Network.

"And by sending this card to the graveyard, I destroy 1 card on the field but Gorgonic Guardian's attack points becomes zero, and it's battle mode can't be changed!" Tate explained, "Next I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior!"

If the opponent doesn't reveal a monster, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of your revealed monster.
"Huh?" Tate asked surprised.
"When my Xyz Monster is destroyed in battle, I can pay 1000 points to use this card." Quattro grinned. (Quattro: 0600) "Then we're both obligated to reveal an Xyz Monster with a rank equal or less then the monster that was just destroyed. The player who reveals a monster with less attack points takes damage equal to the difference of their strengths, but if you don't reveal a monster you take my monsters attack points as damage instead!"
Tate looked shocked hearing that.
"So the monster, I chose is my Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings!" Quattro grinned showing the card, "So what's your monster?"
"I... I don't have another Xyz Monster." Tate said stepping back.
"Then that's too bad cause my Strings' 3000 are enough to finish ya!" Quattro called as a black puppet with it's right body as strings carrying a blade appeared before charging at Tate.
"Not yet! I activate Steel's special ability!" Tate called as Steels took an Overlay Unit (ORU: 2 - 1), "It gains 1000 defense points, and I don't take damage from your cards this turn!"
Steel protected Tate from the attack. (DEF: 2000 + 1000 = 3000)
"If he hadn't summoned Steel then he would've lost. But Quattro is only getting started." Shay said to them.
Quattro grinned, "Well then your pretty good. But can you keep this up? I hope so."
Tate grunted before saying, "I end my turn with 2 cards face-down."
Giant Soldier of Steel: (DEF: 3000 - 1000 = 2000)
Tate: 0700
Quattro: 0600
Quattro 3rd Turn:
"My turn, I draw!" Quattro called drawing, "And to start I activate Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll's effect in the graveyard! I banish Gigantes Doll to summon it!"

"I can summon a Gimmick Puppet from the graveyard!" Quattro called as chains reached from the graveyard, "Welcome back to the duel! Gimmick Puppet Magnet Doll!"
Magnet Doll reappeared ready.
"And now I overlay my two DARK Gimmick Puppets!" Quattro smirked as the two entered the Overlay Network.
"Appear to this battle! Knowledge call from the strings to bring an envoy as hell's violin! Xyz Summon! Rank 8, Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings!" Quattro called as a ball with a wing appeared before unfolding to the same Xyz Monster from before holding it's blade.

(ORU: 2)
Tate grunted seeing this.
"And now Argent Chaos Force's effect activates from the graveyard!" Quattro grinned, "I take it back to my hand when I summon a rank 5 or higher Xyz Monster!"
He shows the Rank-Up-Magic Spell Card.
'Argent Chaos Force didn't had that effect... If it did then the Arclight Brothers wouldn't need to add it back to their hands from the graveyard.' Dan thought seeing that.
"A lot of things are different." Ray remarked.
"And now here is Strings' special ability!" Quattro called as Strings took an Overlay Unit as it strum a tune with the stings on it's body with it's blade, (ORU: 2 - 1) "By using an Overlay Unit all monsters gets a String Counter, and during your turn's end phase, you take damage equal to the combined original attack points of those monsters!"
Gorgonic Guardian got red strings but the strings failed to connect with Soldier of Steel.
Gorgonic Guardian: (String Counter: 1)
Giant Soldier of Steel: (String Counter: 0)
"Huh?" Quattro asked confused.
"Solider of Steel can't be effected to other monster effects." Tate explained.
"Oh okay then." Quattro shrugged, "Well then, I'll activate Argent Chaos Force again! So now I rank up Strings by 1! Chaos Xyz Evolution!"
Strings flew back in the Overlay Network.
"Appear once more! Using the fruits of human wisdom, I revive the devil! Rank-Up Xyz Change! Rank 9, Chaos Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Dark Strings!"
At that a fiendish version of Strings appeared.

(ORU: 2)
"Oh man..." Tate said nervous.
"It gets worse for ya! Dark Strings can destroys all monsters on your field, and you take damage equal to their attack points!" Quattro called as Dark Strings attacked Gorgonic Guardian.
Tate at that called, "I activate Guardian's ability! It negates your monsters' abilities, and make it's points zero!"
As Guardian took a unit she glared at Dark Strings. (ORU: 1 - 0)
Suddenly Quattro took an Action Card, "I told ya I'm a quick learner! I activate Invisibility!"
Invisibility
Action Spell Card
Target 1 monster you control; this turn, it cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects, also it is unaffected by other card effects.
"So now your cards can't target, or effect Dark Strings!" Quattro grinned as Dark Strings was unaffected.
Tate called, "Then I use Soldier of Steel's ability! Steel Shield!"
Giant Soldier of Steel: (DEF: 2000 + 1000 = 3000/ORU: 1 - 0)
As Guardian was destroyed Tate was protected from damage. Quattro smirked, "Your quick on your feet but since your monster was destroyed due to Dark Strings' ability, I get to draw a card!"
Quattro drew glancing at the card.
Tate grunted at this.
"And now Dark Strings charged in at Giant Soldier of Steel!" Quattro called as Strings charged slashing Steel Guardian destroying it as Tate grunted, "Since it destroyed your monster in battle Dark Strings allows me to draw another card!"
He drew again at that.
"While you do that, I activate Xyz Reborn!" Tate called.
Xyz Reborn
Normal Trap Card
Target 1 Xyz Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it, and if you do, attach this card to it as an Xyz Material.
"This revives Gorgonic Guardian back!" Tate called as Guardian reappeared again. (ORU: 1)
"So you brought your monster back." Quattro smirked, "Well I'll use Dark Strings' ability! By using an Overlay Unit, your Guardian gains a String Counter!"
Guardian got the red strings again from Dark Strings. (ORU: 2 - 1)
"So Quattro can use it's ability again." Yuya said in shock.
Quattro smirked, "Next I place 2 cards down. Your up."
Tate 3rd Turn:
'Man this guy's tough... But I got a game plan!' Tate thought before calling, "Okay I draw! And next up Future Fusion's ability resolves!"
The mentioned spell glowed bright.
"Two Warriors of High Magnet Spirits! Rise here to combat your enemies! Fusion Summon! Level 10, Imperion Magnum the Superconductive Battlebot!" Tate called as a huge robot appeared ready.

"Whoa 4000 points!" Allie cried with a smile.
"Tate now has a chance!" Frederick grinned.
"I don't know." Dan told them, "Quattro is a tough guy to beat."
"That things enormous." Quattro admitted before grinning, "Which will make it all the more sweeter once I take it down."
"Well now Gorgonic Guardian negates Dark Strings' abilities, and make it's attack points zero!" Tate called as Guardian took a unit. (ORU: 1 - 0)
"Sorry but I activate Xyz Block!" Quattro called.
Xyz Block
Counter Trap Card
When your opponent activates a monster effect: Detach 1 Xyz Material from a monster you control; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that monster.
"This negates that effect that effect, and destroys it by using one of Dark Strings' overlay units!" Quattro called as Dark Strings took another unit. (ORU: 1 - 0)
Guardian shattered at this.
"Huh? Why didn't Tate use Imperion Magnum's ability to stop Xyz Block?" Frederick asked.
Julia answered, "Counter Traps are traps that stops Chain Links from being in use. Imperion Magnum wasn't able to stop it."
"Well still Imperion Magum will attack Dark Strings!" Tate called as Magnum charged.
"Well, I activate Magic Cylinder!" Quattro called.

(Quattro: 1100)
The attack struck as Quattro grunted. (Quattro: 0400)
Dark Strings flew back.
"Huh?" Tate blinked.
Quattro smirked, "I guess Danny, Shay, and Yuto haven't told ya a Number can only be destroyed in battle by another Number."
"Oh." Tate now remembered, "I forgot about that. I end my turn."
Tate: 0700
Quattro: 0400
Quattro 3rd Turn:
Quattro drew, "My turn draw!"
He jumped to an Action Card as Tate gone to get his.
"And now I activate Double Attack!" Quattro called activating his Action Card.

If this card is Special Summoned, you cannot Special Summon any monsters for the rest of this turn, except "Gimmick Puppet" monsters.
"When I summon Nightmare due to his ability, I can summon a second Nightmare!" Quattro called as a second copy appeared, "Finally by banishing Magnet Doll, Dreary Doll comes back for another round!"
Dreary Doll appeared again as Quattro grinned, "Now I use my three Gimmick Puppets to build thee Overlay Network!"
The three flew up.
"Appear to this field! Roar from hell, that lies everything to destruction! Xyz Summon! Rank 8, Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo!"

(ORU: 3)
"There's Quattro's Exodia Number." Dan grunted catching the Lancer's attention, "Leo can use it's abilities to ensure a quick victory. If Leo uses all of it's Overlay Units by it's on effect he automatically wins."
"Well Tate's not gonna allow that since Leo has 3 Units!" Allie cried to this.
Quattro grinned as Leo used an Overlay Unit (ORU: 3 - 2), "Yeah, I know. But I have something you wouldn't expect! Danny, what Spell Card was it Astral, and Yuma used after first using it against Vector?"
"Spell Card first used against Vector...?" Dan asked giving thought trying to remember going back to seeing Yuma's second duel with Vector before widening his eyes, "Wait, you've..."
"Looks like you've figured it out!" Quattro grinned, "I activate Rank-Up-Magic Numeron Force!"

Normal Spell Card
Target 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Number C" monster with the same Type as that monster you control, but 1 Rank higher, by using it as the Xyz Material.

Then, if any face-up cards are on the field other than this card and the monster Summoned by it, negate the effects of those other cards.
"This card evolves Leo into a Chaos Xyz Monster!" Quattro called as Leo flew up, "Go Chaos Xyz Evolution!"
They watched in in shock.
"Appear to the field! Roar, wild soul. Awaken the anger, that lays everything to ruin! Rank-Up Xyz Change! Rank 9, Chaos Number 88: Gimmick Puppet Disaster Leo!" Quattro chanted as a lion statue on top of a huge sphere appeared.

(ORU: 3)
"W-Whoa..." Tate said in shock.
"And thanks to Numeron Force all face-up cards are negated but Leo!" Quattro grinned as Imperion Magnum grayed while the platforms from Crossover vanished, "And since Crossover was activated from your field, and is face-up it cannot allow any of us to use Action Cards anymore!"
"A card that can stop Action Fields from working?" Yuya asked in shock.
"...Tate you fought well but Quattro beat you." Shay told him as the boy looked on in shock.
"Not yet! Imperion Magnum is still stronger!" Allie said to him, "Even if that big monster can't be destroyed since Imperion Magnum isn't a Number it can't block the damage!"
"You spotted that nice. However Shay is right this duel is over." Quattro smirked confusing them but the Xyz Residents, and Dan, "I activate Disaster Leo's ability! By using an Overlay Unit you take a grand total of 4000 points of damage!"
The orb went in Leo as it charged to blast Tate. (ORU: 3 - 2)
"Wait did he say 4000?" Yuya asked in shock.
"Ferocious Firestorm!" Quattro called as Leo fired a blast at Tate engulfing him as he cried out landing on his back.
Tate: 0000
Quattro: 0400
Quattro wins the duel!
"No way... That monster is capable of performing a powerful One Turn Kill." Celina said in shock staring at Disaster Leo as it vanished, "How can the Xyz Dimension fall to Duel Academy if they have monsters like that?"
"Obelisk Force has cards that can stop Xyz Summoning, and prevents us from using our best cards." Quattro answered growling.
Dan then added, "Not only that even if Tate somehow survives Disaster Leo's effect another two times, Disaster Leo's true potential will be used. Quattro will automatically win at the end of the turn Disaster Leo doesn't have an Overlay Unit."
"And it can't be effected to Monster Effects to boot." Quattro shrugged with a grin as Allie helped Tate up.
"...You are one insane duelist with that card." Dipper admitted.
"I get that." Quattro smirked not letting that phrase faze him, "After knowing what that shrimp can do we might have a chance to beat the Barian Emperors back to normal, and stop Duel Academy. But they have to beat the Seventh One."
"The Seventh One? What's that?" Gong asked him.
Quattro explained, "It's the Rank-Up-Magic spell card that is the true power of the Barian Emperors. It summons a Number over 100 from the Extra Deck, or graveyard to summon a Chaos Version of itself instantly."
"Hey... Dan had a card like that." Riley said turning to her boyfriend as they looked to him.
Dan seeing the looks said, "No, I'm not a Barian. Seventh One was a normal but powerful card back at home. It's one of the rarest out there, and I just happen to found it from a Booster Pack."
"Quattro who's still fighting Duel Academy at home?" Yuto asked his friend.
"We still got Yuma, Astral, Trey, Quinton, Dad, even Dr. Faker, Kite, and Hart fighting Duel Academy." Quattro answered.
Shay said to him, "Then we can trust they can defend it longer. We got things to do here like stopping a Fusion Spy, and fixing things up here."
"You can come enjoy the ride with us if you like." Sylvio mentioned to Quattro.
Quattro grinned, "Why not? I have to make sure none of you slack or anything."
"Then we better prepare tomorrow for the round 3 matches." Declan decided as they all nodded in agreement.
And that wraps this up. It was honestly hard to figure out who comes but I managed to do so. What you guys think of Tate vs an Arclight Brother? Disaster Leo is a powerful Number, and I was also a bit hesitant for the Numbers to keep their anime effects but that's what makes them 'can't be destroyed as it's a Number' type of deal, and that their unique that way so I have to do that hope you understand. Be sure to ask Dan questions, and be sure to review!
