bopdog111: We're back for Cassie.
Ulrich362: Yup, and saying things are going to be interesting to say the least.
bopdog111: Can Cassie find her girl?
Ulrich362: Only one way to know for sure, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Roget led Cassie to a tall building. "My office is on the top floor. We can discuss your situation there."
Cassie with Yuto, and Yugo took an elevator going to the top. Yugo was frowning and kept glancing at his Duel Disk. The elevator opened as Cassie run in, "Riri!"
"Cassie?" Riley asked seeing her before immediately running and embracing her.
Cassie started crying hugging her close.
"You're ok..." Riley choked out.
"I was so worried." Cassie sobbed.
"Now that we're all here, why don't you two start from the beginning?" Roget requested.
Hearing that they looked.
"If I'm going to help, you need to tell me what's going on." Roget told them.
Cassie sniffed before explaining it to Roget. He listened calmly before closing his eyes. "I see. Then you believe this Fusion Dimension is the key to saving your brother's life?"
"If it can save Yuya." Cassie choked.
Seeing that Yuto and Yugo both frowned.
"Please we need to do this!" Cassie cried.
"I'll see if there's anything I can do, but I can't make any promises... until meeting you I didn't even know something like another Dimension even was possible. Though while you wait perhaps you could enter the Friendship Cup, it could give you something to take your mind off the situation." Roget suggested.
"The Friendship Cup?" Cassie asked.
Riley frowned. "We can't wait that long though."
Cassie hugged her.
"There may be one other option, although it is unorthodox I can speak with the current champion and the council and see about having the tournament earlier than normal this year." Roget suggested. "It could begin tomorrow as opposed to in several days time."
Cassie looked to Riley at that. Riley still looked hesitant. "What do you think Cassie?"
"I... I need to calm down." Cassie said wiping her eyes.
Riley nodded kissing her. "Ok."
Cassie kissed her back hugging her deep.
"Then I guess... we wait for the tournament?" Yugo asked them.
"I can get your rooms situated." Roget said to them.
Cassie said to Riley, "Come on Riri."
Riley nodded. "Ok Cassie."
With that they walked off.
A few minutes later...
Cassie, and Riley entered the room their sharing.
"Cassie..." Riley started before trailing off and looking down.
Cassie hugged her after she closed the door. Riley hugged her back. "I'm sorry... I don't know what to do."
"It's okay Riri." Cassie told her.
"What if we're too late? What if something happens to Yuya?" Riley asked fearfully before shuddering. "What if we lose?"
Cassie trembled at that. Feeling that Riley frowned before shaking her head. "Cassie... can you lie down?"
Hearing that Cassie down so on their bed. After she did Riley walked over and kissed her forehead before closing her eyes. "Can I do anything to make you feel any happier?"
Cassie reach, and wrapped her arms around her, "We can play for a while."
"Ok." Riley smiled. "What did you have in mind?"
Cassie moved over for Riley to lie down. Riley laid down and softly closed her eyes. Cassie kissed her deep. Riley blushed slightly at that. Cassie then crawled down, and pulled up Riley's shirt to start kissing her stomach. Riley suddenly started giggling. "That tickles."
Cassie smiled softly before landing a big kiss at her belly button. Riley giggled more at that before suddenly frowning. "Cassie stop."
Cassie look up at her. Riley had tears in her eyes before she just started crying. "I don't want to be girlfriends anymore."
"Why?" Cassie asked her.
"Because..." Riley started before looking down as tears fell. "It's our fault your big brother is hurting. Me, and Declan, and mom and dad."
"No it's not." Cassie said hugging her.
Riley broke down at that and just started clinging to her and sobbing. Cassie kept her in her arms. They stayed like that for a few minutes. Cassie then crawled back to continue playing with Riley's stomach. Riley closed her eyes again before her eyes shot open. "Huh?"
Cassie started lto lay her head on her belly. Riley smiled before frowning and shaking her head. 'It must have been my imagination.' "Cassie?"
"Yeah?" Cassie asked looking up at her.
Riley blushed slightly. "Can you lie down for a second?"
Cassie laid down with a smile. Riley suddenly paused. "On second thought... never mind."
"Come on Riley. I'm sure it can't be that bad." Cassie said to her with a smile.
Riley looked at Cassie before swallowing nervously. "I... thought we could kiss each other's belly buttons at the same time somehow... but I don't know if we can."
"Yeah that can be tough." Cassie admitted before smiling, "But if we lie upside down from each other?"
Riley blinked. "Maybe?"
Cassie at that got in position laying upside down for Riley. Riley kissed Cassie and closed her eyes. Cassie did the same giggling.
Later...
From the fun Cassie fell asleep while Riley was getting out of the shower.
'Cassie... I'm sorry. I love you.' Riley thought before taking a card from her Deck and putting it next to Cassie before quietly getting dressed and walking out of the room. 'I should be able to get to the Fusion Dimension if I use this card again.'
With that thought in mind Riley activated the Dimensional Transport card and disappeared.
ERROR!
Riley's eyes widened in shock. "What? What does it mean error?"
She tried again and looked at her Duel Disk to see if she could figure out what went wrong.
'Insufficient charge. Coordinates not established.'
"Insufficient... then we can't get to the Fusion Dimension after all?" Riley asked before falling to her knees. "Then... we failed?"
She then sees the power for her Duel Disk is building for another Dimensional Jump but it's gonna take time. Riley pressed a button to see how long it would take.
'Power: 11%
Charging, Time: 32 hours.'
"32..." Riley whispered in disbelief before closing her eyes and putting her Duel Disk next to Cassie's and cuddling up next to her. 'I'll stay with you as long as I can Cassie.'
Cassie took her in her arms in her sleep. Riley smiled and hugged her back before closing her eyes.
The next day...
Riley was holding Cassie's hand nervously. "Do you think it'll work?"
Cassie nodded to her with a smile. Riley smiled back. '21 hours left, then I can help Cassie and she won't be hurt.'
They walked to the arena. Suddenly two Security Officers approached them.
"Please come with us, all participants are to be escorted to their rooms until called for their match." one of the officers explained. "It's to prevent cheating by allowing prior knowledge of a duelists deck before the competition begins."
They nodded hearing that. They nodded hearing that. Cassie looked concerned from being separated from Riley.
"She'll be fine." the officer told her before opening a door. "Wait here for your name to be called."
Cassie nodded walking in. It was a fairly large room with a television so she could watch the matches and a large bed.
'Riri... Be okay.' Cassie thought to her.
Cassie turned to the TV from hearing a match is starting. Shinji was dueling a large man who seemed to not respond to anything he was saying.
"Looks like things aren't starting off well for Shinji, he's up against the Duelist Crusher Sergey Volkov himself." announced a blonde woman in a helicopter.
"I"ll show no mercy to the allies of the Tops." Shinji said coldly to Sergey.
Sergey didn't say anything. The countdown started.
"Three... Two... One... Duel!"
"RIDE!"

"We Commons always stick together no matter the cost, and we always support each other. And now we will rise, and unite!" Shinji called which sparked some interest in the Commons crowd before he called, "And now I tune level 2 Sting the Poison with Level 3 Twinbow the Attacker!"
The two wasps flew up tuning.
(LV: 2 + 3 = 5)

Cassie's Duel Disk beeped with a brief message.
"Wow."
"Riri?" Cassie messaged.
"Shinji is really skilled, I think he's going to win." Riley messaged back. "I'm... I'm a little scared I might have to duel him."
"I go to my Battle Phase, and again skip! This triggers Hama's ability!" Shinji called, "At the end of the battle phase if you do not take damage then you lose 300 Life Points for each Battlewasp in my graveyard!"
"300 for each one?" the woman announced in surprise.
"I have 7 Battlewasps in my graveyard! So you lose 2100 Life Points!" Shinji called as Hama fired a arrow at Sergey.
Sergey just let the arrow hit him.
(Sergey: 1700)
"That's not a fair effect. If Shinji's opponents block the attacks that effect damages them big time." Cassie messaged.
"... You could use an Action Spell." Riley replied.
"You got the whole Commons population as your enemies! Your fighting all of us at once!" Shinji declared.
Sergey just looked at him. That made the Commons starting to cheer on chanting Shinji's name as the duel continued.
"I'll end my turn with one face-down." Shinji ended his turn.

Hama aimed again.

Sergey: 0000
Shinji wins the duel!
Cassie stepped back in shock.
"Incredible, Shinji takes down Sergey without any effort at all." the woman announced in shock.
(A/N (Ulrich362): Without any Action Spells to protect him Sergey didn't really have any counters I could think of and even if he used his Earthbound Deck Shinji would be able to counter it fairly effectively. At least as far as I can tell.)
"Riri..." Cassie messaged while messing up on several letters.
"I know." Riley replied.
"I got to get to you." Cassie said to her.
"The doors are locked, we can't." Riley admitted.
Cassie didn't say anything else at that.
"... Cassie?" Riley asked her.
"After seeing Shinji, I think I'm greatly outclassed." Cassie admitted.
"Cassie... I'm sorry." Riley answered.
"It's okay." Cassie told her.
There was silence for a few minutes before...
"Cassie... use the card and go back home."
"I got to help Yuya." Cassie told her.
"I know... but I don't want you to be hurt. I can be ok by myself." Riley messaged. "Please... I don't want Shinji or somebody else to hurt you."
"I don't want you hurt either." Cassie told her.
"I won't be, I was..."
There was a short pause after that message.
"I was trained for this."
"I want to help Yuya." Cassie told her.
"I know... but maybe the best way is to stay with him and your big sister." Riley pointed out.
"I don't want to risk you getting hurt." Cassie told her with tears.
"Cassie, I love you... I'll be ok, I promise." Riley told her.
"Please Riley." Cassie told her.
Riley started to send a reply before...
"Alright duel fans, let's keep things going with the second duel. Cassandra Sakaki is going up against Riley Akaba." the woman announced.
That made Cassie froze. She heard a click as her room was unlocked.
"Riley..." Cassie trailed off.
"... When I beat you, you'll go home. You need to be safe for your dream Cassie." Riley messaged. "I'll see you down there."
Reading that Cassie doesn't know what to do.
bopdog111: Bad news.
Ulrich362: Definitely bad, but what can they do?
bopdog111: Can Cassie beat her girlfriend?
Ulrich362: She did once but things might be tougher this time, and even if she wins Riley will be disappearing soon.
bopdog111: But it'll be clear that Cassie must keep going for Yuya.
Ulrich362: Agreed, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
