The next day...
Cassie with a big backpack full of stuff walked to her girlfriend, and two friends, "Okay all set."
The others nodded as Riley took Cassie's hand. Cassie smiled kissing her. Riley kissed her back before taking out four cards. "Ok... Declan said these cards are the key to traveling between Dimensions."
They take them as Cassie said, "A Spell without a Text? Is that weird?"
"It's... an Action Field, it should help but... there's a catch." Riley admitted. "You can intrude on another duel... to help someone... but you take a 2000 point penalty."
Cassie frowned but nodded, "Whatever it takes... Anything to help Big bro."
"I know." Riley nodded.
"You two ready?" Cassie asked the boys.
They nodded.
"Yeah, as ready as I can be anyway." Yugo nodded.
Yuto however looked worried before nodding. With that they activated the card at the same time vanishing.
Meanwhile...
"Mr. President, we just detected dimensional transportation energy." stated a man in a suit.
"Someone came?" Declan asked hearing that.
"No... four of the Dimensional Transfer cards are missing. Someone managed to steal them, and leave this Dimension." the man told him.
Hearing that Declan gave thought.
"If four cards are missing that means we have four less Lancers Declan." Henrietta pointed out. "We can't wait for another option... they could invade at any moment."
"Unless a Lancer had took them." Declan told her.
"But who would do that? The Lancers haven't been selected yet." the man mentioned.
"I don't know." Declan admitted, "Unless it's Riley."
"Riley? Why would she..." Henrietta started before her eyes narrowed. "That girl..."
"Claude find out where they are." Declan instructed.
"Yes sir." Claude nodded.
Meanwhile...
Cassie, and the others appeared in a town. Suddenly Cassie's eyes widened and she started trembling. "Riri? Riley where are you?"
Looking around, she was with Yuto and Yugo but Riley was missing.
"Where's Riley?" Yuto asked seeing this.
"We have to find her!" Cassie panicked. "Riri? Riley!"
She ran ahead.
"Huh, hey wait!" Yugo cried running after her.
"Riley! Riley!" Cassie cried.
Yugo eventually caught up to her. "What are you doing? You can't just run off like that, if Sector Security finds you you'll never find her."
"I don't want her to be alone!" Cassie cried out.
"Calm down, the city isn't a safe place." Yugo told her. "We need..."
Suddenly they heard sirens approaching them. Hearing that Yuto looked. A group of four or five security officers on Duel Runners were heading towards them.
"We better go." Yuto told them.
"Yeah, come on." Yugo agreed picking up Cassie before they ran from the officers.
They ran to avoid the officers.
"Spread your jet-black wings, and storm forth in tandem with the roaring thunder! A slash of lightning! Synchro Summon! Cascade, Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower!" called a voice as a bolt of lightning struck near the officers as three other individuals on Duel Runners raced past grabbing Yugo, Yuto, and Cassie.
"Whoa!" Cassie cried.
"Hold on." mentioned the man who grabbed her.
"Okay." Cassie said to her.
A few minutes later they arrived at a small house.
"You three need to be more careful. If Security caught you its would all be over." mentioned an orange-haired man with markings on his face as he took off his helmet.
"Sorry... But I am looking for my girlfriend." Cassie told him.
"Your girlfriend?" he asked.
"Riley Akaba." Cassie answered.
"I've never met anyone with that name, hopefully she's not in the Tops though." the man frowned. "Commons aren't welcome there."
Meanwhile...
Riley was walking on her own looking down. "They didn't work... what if something happened? Cassie... I'm so sorry."
Riley continued walking.
"Cass? Cassie?"
"What's a common like you doing here?" questioned a voice.
Hearing that she turned.
What looked like an officer was approaching her. "Answer the question."
"I'm looking for my girlfriend. Have you see her?" Riley asked.
"Shut up Common trash, you're heading to the Facility for the rest of your life." the officer said coldly.
"What for?" Riley asked surprised.
"You know you scum." the officer stated grabbing her arm.
At that she bite his hand.
"Argh! Brat!" the officer cried in pain while letting go.
"What's going on here?"
Riley ran off. Someone grabbed her arm.
"Let me go!" Riley yelled.
"I will once you tell me who you are and what's going on." the person told her. "You're a Common aren't you?"
"And your gonna tell me I'm going in the Facility aren't you?" Riley asked looking over.
It was a tall blonde man in a white suit. "That depends, if you're trying to commit a crime then yes, but I'm giving you a chance to explain yourself."
"No I'm not." Riley told him.
"I'm all ears." the man told her crossing his arms.
Riley explained to him.
"Another Dimension? You realize that sounds absolutely insane don't you?" the man asked her.
"It's all true." Riley told him, "I've been separated from my friends."
"Your friends are duelists?" the man asked. "I can't tell you where they are now... but I do know where you might be able to find them later."
"Who are you?" Riley asked him.
"Jack, come with me." the man told her.
She walked with him.
"Why did you and your friends come here Riley?" Jack asked her.
"...We gotta save Cassie's brother." Riley answered.
Jack looked at Riley before sighing. "If we're lucky, your friends will learn about the Friendship Cup and enter, that's your best shot at finding them... assuming they aren't at the Facility already."
"That officer mentioned it. What is the Facility?" Riley asked him.
"An underground prison... where you don't escape. If you're sent there you don't leave." Jack answered.
Riley looked nervous hearing that.
Meanwhile...
"Zuzu, where's Cassie?" Allie asked.
"But what about the tournament?" Tate asked.
"She might be disqualified." Zuzu said worried.
"Correction miss Boyle, she has been." stated a familiar female voice.
Hearing that they looked over. Henrietta Akaba was walking to them and she looked disappointed.
"Cassandra Sakaki, and Riley Akaba have both been disqualified from the Junior Class." she stated.
"What happened to them?" Tate asked her.
"We're looking into that as we speak... in the meantime I suggest those of you still competing focus on your future matches." Henrietta stated before walking off.
"Where did they go?" Allie asked worried.
"First Yuya... and now Cassie." Zuzu frowned.
"We can't lose hope right?" Tate asked hopefully.
Zuzu blinked before kneeling down. "No, and we won't. There has to be..."
Suddenly her eyes widened. 'Wait a second...'
Flashback...
"Before that what do you know of the advanced summoning mechanics?" Declan inquired.
"Synchro, Fusion, and Xyz." Cassie answered.
"Correct, now this is information that is to be kept from everyone. There are three other dimensions alongside our own." Declan told them. "One based on each of those mechanics. However, the Fusion Dimension is actively invading the others for a reason I have yet to figure out. As such, the lives of everyone in our dimension are at risk."
They all looked shocked.
"It's for that reason, I asked Yusho Sakaki to try and find us allies. He's currently in another Dimension." Declan stated. "He chose to leave prior to his match with the Sledgehammer in order to attempt and stop the Fusion Dimension... however alone he isn't capable of stopping them."
"So that's why he went missing?" Skip asked.
"Yes, however we may have the means to go and help him and any allies he's made. Yuya and Cassie, you two are the key." Declan stated.
"But why tell us this?" Yuya asked him.
"Would you have preferred I keep it from you?" Declan asked him.
"The key?" Cassie asked.
Declan smiled at that. "Ritual, and Pendulum Summoning."
"You don't got a problem with Ritual?" Yuya asked.
"No." Declan nodded calmly. "Ideally both could be mass implemented to give the top duelists of our dimension a weapon too use against the Fusion Dimension but at the very least Pendulum Summoning should be able to turn the tide in our favor. Which is why I'm going to ask for your help in this just like I asked Yusho three years ago."
Flashback End...
Zuzu gasped in horror. "Dad, I need you to do something for me."
"Zuzu?" Skip asked her.
"While I'm dueling... you have to find out what Dimension they sent Cassie to." Zuzu told him. "She could be in danger."
"She went somewhere in the Dimensions?" Skip asked.
"That has to be what happened, her and Riley went to one of the other Dimensions and we need Declan's help to go after them." Zuzu nodded.
Skip gave thought before saying, "Okay."
"Thank you dad." Zuzu whispered hugging him.
Skip hugged her back. Zuzu took a slow breath before turning to the stadium. 'For now... I just have to do my best for both of them.'
A few minutes later they were all inside the stadium before Zuzu's Duel Disk started beeping. Zuzu looked to see. Her opponent was Shay Obsidian. Zuzu looked shocked at this.
"Zuzu?" Allie asked nervously.
"Shay..." Zuzu said in shock.
"Zuzu... I have complete faith in you." Skip told her.
She turned to him. Zuzu stared before nodding. Skip nodded back before running off as Zuzu stepped down to where Shay was waiting only for his eyes to widen in shock.
"You?" he whispered.
Zuzu blinked seeing that.
"Wait... you Fusion Summoned before, just who are you?" Shay questioned coldly.
"I'm not from the Fusion Dimension." Zuzu told him.
Shay just glared at her before activating his Duel Disk. Zuzu did the same.
"DUEL!" Zuzu and Shay called together.
bopdog111: And that's the end of this chapter.
Ulrich362: True, there's quite a bit that happened and a lot more is going to happen very soon.
bopdog111: So what is next for them?
Ulrich362: Riley will probably stay with Jack. Cassie, Yugo, and Yuto will learn the situation from their saviors. Zuzu will have her duel with Shay... he isn't as violent as Iggy but he's a lot more skilled. Oh and Skip will try to find out where Riley and Cassie are. Anything I missed?
bopdog111: You pretty much covered it.
Ulrich362: Fair enough, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
