Cassie, Riley, and Yuya were in an ambulance heading to the hospital while Yugo reluctantly allowed Yuto to ride with him on his bike, or Duel Runner as he called it, and follow behind. Cassie was holding Yuya's hand worried for her brother. He looked to still be in unbearable pain. Cassie kissed his hand.
"Cassie..." Riley whispered nervously.
They soon arrived at the hospital as Cassie ran as they carried Yuya on a stretcher. Riley hugged Cassie. "It'll be ok."
Cassie hugged her back.
"How is he?" Yuto asked walking up to them.
"He's still in pain." Cassie said with tears.
Yuto frowned looking at Yuya. "Go home, one of us will let you know if his condition changes."
"I don't want to leave him." Cassie said worried.
"You need your rest, I'll keep an eye on him for you." Yuto told her. "I promise if anything happens I'll let you know."
Cassie looked on before nodding walking out. Riley hugged Cassie close. Cassie hugged her back.
"Can I do anything?" Riley asked her.
"...When we get home can you do what you always do?" Cassie asked her.
Riley smiled. "Ok."
They walked back to the Sakaki Household. When they got there Riley gave Cassie a quick hug and kiss. Cassie smiled as they headed to her room. When they walked into the room Riley smiled. "Lie down Cassie."
Cassie nodded laying down. Riley smiled before walking over and pulling up her shirt before gently tickling Cassie's sides and kissing just below her belly button. Cassie softly giggled at this. Riley smiled before stopping, and just laying her head on her belly before suddenly stopping and sitting up with her legs crossed. Cassie blinked before laying down with her head in Riley's lap. Riley gently rubbed Cassie's head. Cassie smiled up at her.
"Cassie, your eyes are really pretty." Riley smiled.
"So are your's." Cassie smiled.
Riley smiled at that only for the doorbell to ring. Yoko downstairs opened the door.
"Mrs. Sakaki, we have a problem." Declan told her. "Concerning your son."
"What is it?" Yoko asked worried.
"He may die. His brain activity is dangerously high and there's no clear explanation... though I have a theory." Declan told her. "May I come in and speak with you three?"
"C-Cassie, and Riley are upstairs." Yoko bite back a sob.
"Call them down, Cassie may be the only one who can save her brother's life." Declan stated.
Yoko nodded with tears.
"Cassie, Riley!"
Upstairs Cassie sat up, "She might be just informed!"
She ran down.
"Cassandra, Riley." Declan told them.
"Is he okay!?" Cassie asked worried.
"... No, in fact it's the opposite. And I believe its connected to his amnesia." Declan stated.
"What is it?" Cassie asked fearing for the worst.
"He's dying, and unless we find out what's happening to him I would give him two months at most if he remains hospitalized." Declan told her.
Hearing that Cassie dropped to her knees.
"Is there anything he did or said?" Declan asked them. "It could be important."
Riley at that looked down before saying what Yuya said before from hearing Cassie. Declan frowned. "I see... Riley, the only one with answers might be him."
Cassie started crying. Riley hugged her close.
"I-I failed him Riri." Cassie sobbed.
"No you haven't, not yet... we just need to stop dad." Riley told her. "We can help Yuya."
Cassie continued crying. Riley teared up seeing Cassie like that before embracing her. "I promise... no matter what Yuya will be ok."
Cassie hugged her back before they both headed upstairs.
"Cassie... come with me." Riley said dragging her to the bathroom.
"H-Huh?" Cassie asked seeing it.
"We need to clean up and then... we're going." Riley told her. "To the Synchro Dimension."
Cassie sniffed before nodding.
"I promise... we'll help Yuya." Riley said kissing her. "I promise, no matter what it'll be ok."
Cassie nodded before undressing. Riley did the same before taking a breath. 'For once in my life mom... I have to thank you.'
Cassie hugged her from behind. Riley smiled softly. "It'll be ok Cassie, I promise."
Cassie nodded wiping her nose starting the water.
Later...
Cassie, and Riley got out drying each other off.
"Cassie... can I ask you something?" Riley asked her.
Cassie looked to her.
"Are you scared? Of going to the other Dimensions I mean." Riley asked.
"I'll be okay." Cassie answered.
"I want you to promise me you'll stay here with Yuya." Riley told here.
Cassie looked shocked at that.
"Promise me Cassie." Riley repeated. "Stay with Yuya... let Declan and me handle our dad."
"But Riri..." Cassie trailed off with tears.
"It's too dangerous, you could get hurt." Riley said before embracing Cassie and kissing her nose. "I love you, but promise you'll stay here ok? Declan and I will leave and find a way to help."
Cassie started crying again hugging her close to her body.
"It'll be ok, I promise." Riley said holding her. "Goodbye for now Cassie."
"Riri... Please let me come with you." Cassie sobbed.
"I don't want you to get hurt." Riley told her. "Plus... Yuya needs his family right now."
"I want to help him." Cassie said in tears.
Riley looked uncertain before nodding. "Ok... come on, we're leaving right now."
That was before Riley remembered their only in towels. She paused. "Once we're dressed."
Cassie sniffed nodding as they walked to the dresser. A few minutes later they had gotten dressed and Riley looked at Cassie. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes. He needs my help." Cassie nodded with tears.
Riley nodded. "Ok... come on. We're heading to the Synchro Dimension."
Cassie nodded as they walked downstairs as she hugged Yoko, "Momma... I promise that me, Riri, and Declan will help Yuya."
"Cassie?" Yoko asked in shock.
"We're gonna save him." Cassie told her.
Yoko looked surprised but nodded. "Promise you'll stay safe."
Cassie nodded hearing that. With that Riley and Cassie walked out of the house to head to LID. Cassie had a empty backpack telling Riley, "Before we head we need to stock up so we wouldn't get hungry, and get new cards to make our Decks stronger."
Riley paused at that. "Yeah... but do they have any cards for our decks?"
"I don't know but any card that we get can help if we can use them right." Cassie answered.
Riley nodded at that. "Right, let's go and take a look."
Cassie nodded hearing to the store. When they got there the store was closed.
"Huh? Oh it's already real late?" Cassie asked looking at her watch.
Riley frowned. "But we need to go before something happens. Yuya's in pain Cassie and what if the only way to help him is to reach my dad... we can't sit around for the tournament to finish."
Cassie frowned before nodding, "Okay we'll get stuff along the way."
Riley nodded at that before suddenly her eyes widened. "Wait a second... oh no!"
"What?" Cassie asked worried.
"There's a chance the Fusion Dimension could come here... Zuzu and the others could be in danger. They might go after Yuya!" Riley said nervously.
Cassie grunted at this.
"Wait... what about them?" Riley asked suddenly.
"Them?" Cassie asked.
"The two people who were with Yuya... maybe... maybe if they're still together we can ask for their help." Riley suggested before pausing. "Plus... maybe we can practice working together if they'll let us, so we can keep each other safe?"
Cassie nodded hearing that. With that they ran towards the hospital. They looked around for Yugo, and Yuto. Eventually Riley spotted them and ran over to them.
"What is it?" Yuto asked seeing them.
"I need to ask you both something really important." Riley answered. "Will you help me and Cassie with two things?"
"What's that?" Yugo asked them.
"First... duel us as a team." Riley answered. "Two on two so we can make sure we can work together... and second, help us stop my dad and Duel Academy... he's the only person who might be able to help Yuya but we have to stop him from invading the other dimensions."
Yugo blinked turning to Yuto who frowned, "So you know about Fusion's methods?"
Riley flinched slightly before nodding. "Yes. I was trained to fight Duel Academy... as a Duel Soldier."
"But that doesn't matter... Please you gotta help us. My brother will die if you we don't get help." Cassie begged them.
Yuto stared at them before closing his eyes. "We need to go outside."
They nodded walking outside. Riley gently squeezed Cassie's hand to try and comfort her.
"You two against us, you can pick the turn order." Yuto answered.
"Riri?" Cassie asked Riley hearing that.
"Cassie can go first, then the biker, then me, and then you." Riley answered looking at Yuto.
They nodded getting ready.

A photon was taken of Puzzle before it formed into it with the camera as it's masked.
"A copy of my monster?" Yugo asked in surprise.
"Shutter Layer 1 takes a photo of your monster, and places it under my control." Riley explained.
"That's a powerful spell." Yuto noted calmly.
"I set 2 cards, and end my turn." Riley ended.

"Interesting monster." Yuto nodded.
"She's amazing." Riley smiled.
"Well now here's one of her abilities. When Synchro Summoned I can make her attribute become the same as one monster you have." Cassie told them as Golden Queen gazed at Puzzle.
"So she's a wind monster now?" Yugo asked.
"Yup." Cassie said nodding, "First since Hot Dog is sent you two take 500 points of damage."
(Yugo & Yuto: 3500)
"Then I activate the trap, Skystones!" Cassie called.

"Since Golden Queen's attribute is the same as your's, I can add this to my hand." Cassie said showing them the Ritual Monster.

"Well now, I activate Portal of Power!" Cassie called.

"By tributing monsters, I can summon a Ritual Monster by sacrificing monsters on my field!" Cassie told them, "Then Smash Hit's Quick Effect activates! Once per turn, if a have a Skylander on my field who's original attribute is the same as his I don't have to sacrifice a card!"
"I get it, and since he uses original attributes instead of current ones Golden Queen works. You're a skilled duelist." Yuto noted.

"Cassie..." Riley whispered in awe.
"And now Swarm's ability!" Cassie called as Swarm vanished in bees, and swarm around Puzzle, "By sacrificing him all monsters on your field that is the same attribute as him loses half their points!"
Yugo's eyes widened.
Hi-Speedroid Puzzle: (ATK: 1300/2 = 650)
"Battle! Golden Queen attacks Puzzle!" Cassie called as Golden Queen charged in.

You can only use this effect of "Phantom Knights' Fog Blade" once per turn.
"By targeting Golden Queen her effects are negated and she can't attack."
Cassie looked surprised as Golden Queen was stopped from a purple fogged blade in front of her restricting her. Yugo blinked in surprise before smiling. "Anything else?"
"I end my turn. During this end phase since Swarm's ability wasn't negated he comes back from the graveyard, and your monsters regain their points." Cassie answered as the swarm around Puzzle flew back reforming to Swarm.
Hi-Speedroid Puzzle: (ATK: 650 * 2 = 1300)
Yugo 2nd Turn:
"Alright, in that case I'll have Hi-Speedroid Puzzle attack Swarm." Yugo grinned.
"Huh?" Cassie asked seeing this as Puzzle charged in.
"When Puzzle battles a special summoned monster his attack points double." Yugo explained. "Before that wouldn't have been enough, but thanks to Yuto's trap stopping you and his points returning to normal he's strong enough to do some damage."
Hi-Speedroid Puzzle: (ATK: 1300 * 2 = 2600)
Cassie watched in shock as Swarm attacked but Puzzle destroyed Swarm. (Cassie & Riley: 3850)
"Riley... Sorry I wasn't cautious enough." Cassie told her.
"It's ok, and we have more information about his card now." Riley mentioned.
Cassie nodded before saying, "Well now, I activate Skylander Academy!"

"A trap." Yuto frowned.
"When a Skylander Ritual Monster is destroyed, I can draw 2 cards, and banish that monster." Cassie said drawing two cards, and pocketing Swarm.
Yugo frowned. "I'll set one card and now I'll..."
Suddenly he froze.
"During the end phase of the turn Swarm is banished, I can summon him again in defense mode!" Cassie called to them, "His abilities can't be accessed, and is banished when he leaves the field."
Yugo blinked before shaking his head. "I summon Speedroid Tri-Eyed Dice in attack mode and tune with him Hi-Speedroid Puzzle."

If this card's effect destroys a monster, this card gains ATK equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK until the end of this turn.
"Huh?" Cassie asked, "You didn't end your turn?"
"I am now." Yugo mentioned.
"That means Swarm's effect activates!" Cassie called as Swarm started to emerge.
"No it doesn't, when a level five or higher monster activates its effect or a monster uses an effect on a level five or higher monster Clear Wing negates that effect and destroys that card. Dichroic Mirror!" Yugo called.
Cassie watched in shock as his dragon fired a lethal light from it's wings destroying the portal.

The monster appeared.

"3000 points?" Yugo asked in shock.
"Since you have a wind monster in play in addition to it's two attacks it can make a third one." Riley explained.
"I play my facedown cards." Yuto said quickly. "The Phantom Knights of Lost Vambrace."
The Phantom Knights of Lost Vambrace

These effects last until the end of this turn. Then, Special Summon this card in Defense Position as a Normal Monster (Warrior-Type/DARK/Level 2/ATK 600/DEF 0). (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.)

"So now Sonic Halberd can deal piercing damage!" Riley called.
Sonic Halberd: (ATK: 3000 - (600 * 2) = 1800)
'Not good.' Yugo thought nervously.
"Go!" Riley called as Sonic Halberd charged at the trap monsters.
The attacks hit but due to their ability Yuto's Lost Vambraces weren't destroyed.
