bopdog111: We're here to finally see the Lancers moving in against Duel Academy. Won't be easy as they have powerful duelists including Zane Truesdale who's heart condition seem to be cured now.
Ulrich362: True, which might be an issue but then again he hasn't had the best showing from us.
bopdog111: That one time was against the King of Games himself which shouldn't really count on that.
Ulrich362: Well fair enough, let's see what happens here.
bopdog111: Alongside seeing a GX duelist we haven't used here yet.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
It been a few minutes since Belowski had stopped Barrett, and all of the Obelisk Force that were there before. All of the Fusion You Show Duelists had tied them up, and bring them over in the building while they were sleeping to prevent them from altering others or regrouping. The Lancers, and their allies meanwhile discussed over their plans on how to tackle Duel Academy while being careful against Zane Truesdale. If he's there alongside Aster then Yudo, Emily, and Claire would also think of several other characters they remember being on their side as well.
"So we all move to stop the Doktor first. As long as those Parasites he has are in operation, we will all be fighting amongst ourselves." Declan spoke to them. "We will first head, and stop him first."
"He probably won't be much. All of his Parasites when me, and Yuri had gotten Lulu, and Rin away from him were all gone. He probably is trying to rebuild right now but won't have as many." Yudo spoke up to them that maybe with fewer parasites, the Doktor will not be that much of a threat.
"Depending on who he's infected one could be all he needs." Alexis frowned.
"Which is why we go after him first." Declan spoke on it. If he could infect one of them, a powerful duelist, than that would be bad for them. "Alexis, do you know where he's stationed at?"
"Yeah, he's at a lab where they conducted animal experiments long ago." she answered.
"Wheeler..." Hearing that Yudo knows what exactly she means. The dueling monkey that Jaden dueled at his first year that was treated harshly dueling with monkey or ape related cards. Wheeler's free now but the facility was later used by Viper for his operations before he vanished cause of Yubel as far as he knows from the dub. "What about the Abandoned Dorm though, is anyone using that?"
"The Abandoned Dormitory?" Alexis looked surprised that Yudo knows the existence of it. Then she shook her head to answer. "No... it had been destroyed a while back."
"That's good." Emily nodded.
"If only we have some inside help though... it would make this easier." Alexis spoke over concerned as since she was a former Duel Academy duelist, she wouldn't be welcomed within to prevent altering Duel Academy of her presence.
"Inside help... maybe, I can be that?" a voice spoke.
Turning over surprised they see someone walking in. A big guy with a face looking like a Koala's wearing a suit on his form. On his wrist was a Fusion Dimension Duel Disk.
"Chumley?" Alexis asked in shock. "What are you doing back here?"
"An Obelisk Force squad went missing so I been sent to investigate as no-one else wanted too." the guy, Chumley, answered before looking seeing the tied up unconscious Obelisk Force. "Real licious managing to get them like that Alexis."
"Wait, Alexis you know this guy?" Yuya asked Alexis if she really does know him from somewhere.
When she was previously a student, Alexis was good friends with Chumley, and some others but the two of them were against the Professor when they realized how cruel Duel Academy really was. He was previously a student but was a skilled card designer, designing special cards for Duel Academy but mostly for appearances, he is Alexis' spy, and inside mole within Duel Academy to tell her what's been going on while she battles them from the inside.
"Yeah, I know Chumley and we can trust him... though he's not the best duelist." Alexis answered.
"Yeah, I'm more of a card designer, than a duelist. But I had almost taken down Crowler which should be something." Chumley admitted before then he turned to Alexis. "Now about that, 'inside help' you mentioned, is it something you need my help on?"
"These people the Lancers are helping us stop Duel Academy, and their first order of business is the Doktor. There will be resistance as I'm not a part of Duel Academy anymore, but with you with us, we should get there without bringing all of Obelisk Force down on top of us."
"Yeah, I can see why that be difficult. There will be suspicion on it as I'm not much of a Duelist but it's plausible at least." Chumley spoke before then reaching in his pocket handing a card to Alexis. "Just in case Lex here, I designed this while I was doing my duty in case we meet up again."
Alexis takes the card seeing it's a redesign of one of her spell cards, Cyber Prima, where it originally has her sacrifice a specific monster to summon one that doesn't have much use when not Tribute Summoned. But Chumley's new version allows her to do more than that.
"Thanks." she smiled taking it. "This will hopefully come in handy."
"Alright, then everyone knows what they need to do?" Zuzu asked.
"Of course. Alexis, and Chumley will guide us to where the Doktor is held to not arouse too much attention." Declan answered from this. "Under the guise they are bringing us to the Doktor for him to infect. At the right opportunity we drop the act, and destroy the Parasites while stopping him all together."
"We all can't go though, if Chumley really is just a card designer only some of us can." Celina pointed out they all can't be after the Doktor at once with this plan as if Chumley was the person who captured them, it would arouse too much suspicion on it.
"Me, Claire, and Emily will go with them." Amy spoke over to them. "So we can stop the Doktor, and the Parasites together."
"As soon as you report in about it, we will carry out our next part of the plan which is to try reducing much of their strength as possible." Declan instructed Amy what to do.
"Be careful Amy." Yudo said to her worried before turning to his two best friends. "You to girls."
"We will be." Claire smiled warmly.
"As soon as your all ready speak with me, and Lex." Chumley spoke to the girls.
They nodded hearing that as they went to make sure they were prepared only for Yudo to suddenly frown slightly.
"Yudo?" Carlita seeing him frowning looked over to him.
"You won't have to go back or leave forever." Amy assured him gently patting his back. "You can stay with us forever."
"I can't neglect my real home though... What would I do with it?" Yudo asked what would he do with his original home when all of this is over.
"We got there once, nothing is stopping us from finding a way to travel to your home dimension as well." Declan answered.
Hearing that Yudo teared up a bit but nodded.
"Ok, so Alexis, Chumley, Claire, Emily, and I go to the Doktor and stop him. Yuya, Declan, Rin, Zuzu, Carlita, Celina, and Lulu try to find the Professor, and the rest of us get Duel Academy's attention?" Amy confirmed.
They all nodded over from this for sure that they will all do their part, and stop Duel Academy now that they are on their own terf.
"Oh, I almost forgot about something else." Chumley suddenly spoke up to them. "Duel Academy has something they use whenever people not of the Fusion Dimension duel against them on their own turf. A card I designed at the request of the Professor."
"Huh, what card?" Alexis asked hearing that.
"A Universal Field Spell that's always active used by those who have Fusion Dimension Duel Disks which most of you don't have. Where if a certain type of monster is on the field, they can use a special effect either destroy a card, deal damage, or make a monster stronger depending on what they activate. If you all use different types of monsters be careful cause Duel Academy can use that against you." Chumley explained before then typing in on his Duel Disk presenting a holographic image of the card in question with the effects displayed.
The artwork had surprised Yudo, Claire, and Emily, it was the original appearance of Academy Island of Duel Academy showing the dorms of Slifer, Ra, and both different Obelisk genders alongside the pier, electrical plant where Jaden dueled Jinzo, the Abandoned Dorm, and a domed area which looks to be Obelisk Arena.
"That's... Duel Academy." Emily whispered.
"The place before the Professor made it what it was. It's designed to be placed incase intruders or invaders from another Dimension came in against Duel Academy." Chumley confirmed this over to them. "Anyone who doesn't use a Duel Academy issued Duel Disk, or is a current student or staff member of Duel Academy that most of you don't have."
"That isn't fair though."
"Well you all use these Action Fields against them in the past so your pretty even on surprise advantages from stuff like these." Chumley suggested on it from Yuya saying this although being fair or even is the least of their concerns.
"Well, that means it won't apply if Alexis, Celina, or Yuri duel right?" Yudo asked him.
"Anyone who doesn't have a Fusion Duel Disk, or not a student or staff member of Duel Academy can't have this kind of disadvantage. Alexis turned her back on Duel Academy so it'll be used against her. Celina, if she hasn't replaced her Duel Disk yet. But Yuri... he's still on his mission isn't he?"
"That's... a long story." Yuya admitted. "Suffice to say, Yuri's the one who broke Rin and Lulu out a while ago."
"Well, it's on if they aren't students or don't have Fusion Duel Disks anymore."
"Either way, it is good to know on it. They lost their secret weapon against invaders now that we know about it, and we should be prepared." Declan spoke over the point of it. "Now is everyone ready for their tasks?"
The entire group nodded that they were.
"Good, then let's get going." Chumley spoke to Alexis, Claire, Amy, and Emily for their own job at stopping the Doktor.
They nodded heading off together.
"My leg's not at it's best right now, so I hope I don't slow us all down." Yusho spoke over towards everyone else who are with him as with an injured leg from his duel with Aster, it will be tough for him to try his best.
"We can support you." Yudo offered.
Yusho smiled as they all discuss about their tasks next.
With the five Chumley is guiding them while all the girls hands are seemingly bounded. In rope that's loose for them to break out of easily when it's time to make a move as they held to the facility where the Doktor is held. Alexis, and Chumley both aren't fond to head here as the Doktor really creeps them out with his love for the Parasites, and what he done to Lulu, and Rin when Yuri first brought them here. They hope that by the end of this, he will not be bother them much longer.
"What should we know about this guy?" Emily whispered to Alexis.
"He's a total creep for one thing, I think he spent so much time with his bugs, he became so creepy, and insane. He doesn't duel but he can take control of your mind before your aware of it." Alexis answered that question to her.
"Then how do we make sure he doesn't do that?" Claire frowned. "And how do we stop him if we can't duel him?"
"We card him to stop him." Alexis answered over with a frown. Although she hates Duel Academy when her friends were carded, she doesn't hate them enough to do the same to them. But for the Doktor she will gladly card him if given the opportunity.
"There's no way to know when a Parasite gets on you." Chumley spoke to them. "Just hope that he doesn't have one nearby, he's probably too focused on trying to bring back his army, he doesn't have any around against intruders so far."
Amy frowned but nodded. "What about bodyguards? Is there anyone he might have to keep him safe?"
"Well... he has Bastion with him." Chumley answered for a bodyguard. "Him alongside Adrian."
"Adrian?" Claire asked. "Wait, you mean Exodia?"
"And Bastion's really strong too, this won't be easy." Emily admitted.
"Just be careful on what you girls do." Chumley spoke before looking ahead. "We're approaching the area."
They nodded as they looked down.
They approached where they see some Obelisk Force are guarding the entrance only to notice the approaching group. One Obelisk Force walked over talking to Chumley to ask what's going on. "Hey, what're you doing here buddy?"
"Came under orders of the Professor. I captured some prisoners for the Doktor to use his parasites for."
"What? You captured them?" the Obelisk Force chuckled arrogantly looking at the three. "I can believe it if it was those girls but Alexis Rhodes herself? Come on, there could be no way you really captured them, your a failure as a duelist!"
"I almost beaten Crowler before I became a card designer." Chumley reminded this Obelisk Force. "And besides I had the advantage with the universal Field Spell, I designed myself which helped out."
"Well, I'd suppose that's true. Either way, the Doktor asked to not be bothered, ever since Yuri had came, and broke the girls out with damage to his Parasites he's been in a pretty foul mood."
"I'd suppose the Professor would be interested to know when his orders are getting ignored then?" Chumley sure is acting like a good liar to Obelisk Force so they can get in.
The Obelisk Force members exchanged a glance, it was true that Chumley had come close to defeating Dr. Crowler and that field spell could tip things in his favor.
"Fine, but make it quick." one of the Obelisk Force told him.
He nodded as the Obelisk Force unlocked the door as they all walked in together. Chumley soon nodded to Alexis as she turned as the door closed undoing her binds typing in some codes outside before nodding. "Disabled the door, they won't be bothering us. It's only us, the Doktor, Adrian, and Bastion from here on out."
"Right." Amy nodded as they followed Chumley.
Soon they made it where they see three people were in a room while the Doktor himself is running him ragged growling over.
"I don't know how he done it, but Yuri destroyed all of my wonderful pets! Years of research, studying, and planning RUINED!" the Doktor looked very furious as he threw a table down on the ground while the two bodyguards watched over not amused, or intimidated from this looking annoyed. "It'll take years for all my pets to be back to their potential from here on out, something we all don't have!"
From how this looks, he is no too happy when all his Parasites were killed from Yudo doing something when Lulu, and Rin were freed from him.
Chumley flinched before glancing back at Alexis who nodded.
"Doktor, I... might have something that can help." he said.
"What is it!? I asked not to be disturbed!" the Doktor turned over while the bodyguards one a yellow blazer brown haired man, and a spiky red haired man wearing glasses with a vest showing muscular arms looked over as well seeing them.
"Chumley, Alexis?" the yellow blazar young man questioned seeing them surprised. "What is going on, Chumley why is she with you, and who are those three?"
"I managed to beat her, the field spell was the key and they're new hosts for your Parasites." Chumley answered looking at the Doktor. "They're strong duelists."
"You beat Alexis?" the glasses teen questioned hearing that. "I'll admit your Field Spell idea against intruders was concrete for us to use but you using it against her?" He cups his chin while staring at Alexis. "Then again you were able to do the Uria Effect, and Raviel Effect together if you duel her from how her Deck is like while you just get the Uria Effect anyway with yours."
"Yeah, it wasn't easy but I managed to pull it off Adrian." Chunley nodded looking at him. "Though if Alexis were on our side again... we'd be much stronger right?"
"Does the Professor know about this? He had stated she is to be a card on sight." the brown haired boy spoke over which triggered a flaw in their plan. If Alexis was really called to be carded on sight than even if she's with them, it would make them suspicious why the Professor suddenly changed his mind.
"That..." Chumley started uncertainly.
Amy turned to the other girls who nodded, time to lose the act.
"Chumley, I hope you know what happens if you go traitor on us." Adrian warns over to him as he, and the brown haired boy activated their Duel Disks growing suspicious that Chumley isn't answering the question.
Suddenly Amy, Claire, and Emily all broke the binds and activated their Duel Disks.
"Girls!" Chumley seeing this called as they readied against them.
"Just as I suspected, it was all an act." the brown haired boy spoke seeing this. "Such a shame Chumley, you had given all of us useful cards throughout your time here."
"But you know the penalty." Adrian said to them. "All of you are becoming cards here, and now when we're done with you."
"Your gonna have to beat us first for that to happen."
"Trust us that be easy." the brown haired boy responded to Alexis before looking to the girls. "Then I suppose you are our opponents then? And my guess, Obelisk Force won't be coming for our aid then?"
"No, they won't." Alexis answered as Claire looked at Bastion.
"I'll take you on, you can handle Adrian right Emily?" she asked.
Emily nodded from this.
"Very well, Tag-Team then." the brown haired boy looked at Adrian who nodded back as they readied the Battle Royal rules.
"Intruder detected. Duel Academy field card activated in Field Zone." a computer spoke on both of their Duel Disks as it appeared in their Field Zones.

Whenever me, or Adrian activate a spell card, you both will take 1000 points of damage! Cerulean Skyfire!" A bolt of lightning from above blasted down at the two.
Emily and Claire braced themselves as they were hit.

"Maybe, or maybe not." Claire mentioned setting two cards. "Wattgiraffe attack him directly!"
Giraffe charges in where the two are surprised as it tackled the two.
(Bastion & Adrian: 6800/Hands: (Bastion: 2/Adrian: 5))
"Wattgiraffe's ability activates, you two can't use cards or effects for the rest of the turn!" Claire told them before then frowning. "Unfortunately I'll have to end my turn for now."

Emily frowned seeing that.
"Not the Exodia Deck?" Claire blinked seeing this.
"Once every turn, I summon a cloud from my hand or graveyard that's Level four or below." Adrian then raises an arm to the sky. "Duel Academy's effect activates! Cerulean Skyfire!" Another bolt of lightning blasted on the two.
Emily groaned getting hit.
(Emily & Claire: 6000/Hands: (Emily: 3/Claire: 5))

"Sorry, but you should take a closer look at your Poison Cloud." Claire pointed out as the monster seemed to spark before shattering.
"What!?" Adrian questioned. "How did you... a trap!"
"That's right, I discarded my Wattmole to activate Wattcancel!" Claire revealed.
Wattcancel
Counter Trap Card
When your opponent would Normal or Special Summon a monster(s): Discard 1 "Watt" monster; negate the Summon, and if you do, destroy that monster(s).
Suddenly Poison Cloud reappeared as Wattcancel's effect shorted out before being destroyed.
"Perhaps you should be the one to take a closer look at your field." Bastion spoke to Claire having activated a face-down.
Counter Counter
Counter Trap Card
Negate the activation of a Counter Trap Card, and destroy it.
Claire frowned at that.
"Well that we have that out of the way, Acid Cloud's effect places a Fog Counter on itself for every Cloudian on my field!" Acid Cloud glowed as two clouds appeared on it.
Cloudian - Acid Cloud: (Fog Counters: 2)
"And now as a Monster Effect was activated Duel Academy's second effect allows Acid Cloud to gain 1000 more Attack Points!" Acid Cloud was energized as it grew stronger.
Cloudian - Acid Cloud: (Attack Position/ATK: 500 + 1000 = 1500)
Claire frowned glancing at Emily who just nodded.
"And now Acid Cloud's effect removes two counters to destroy your face-down!" Acid Cloud generated acid blasting at Claire's other face-down.

"Not if I use it first!" Claire called. "I play Wattsychic Fighting Porter!"

"Well then Acid Cloud attack that Giraffe of hers!" Acid Cloud charged energy blasting before one Watthopper flew taking the attack, and wasn't destroyed.
"Sorry, but I didn't summon two monsters with no Attack Points for no reason, with Watthopper in play you can't attack another Watt Monster or target it with any effects, and I have two... welcome to the Watt Lock." Claire grinned as an electrical barrier appeared in front of her monsters.
"Bravo, good show. But it'll be short lived." Bastion grinned himself while Adrian sets a card.

If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand that mentions "Harpie Lady Sisters".

Cyber Slash Harpie Lady: (ATK: 1400 + 200 = 1600/DEF: 1300 + 200 = 1500)
"Harpies huh? Interesting." Bastion spoke while he sees this.
"Since I summoned my Perfumer two things happen, first my Harpies' Hunting Ground destroys your left facedown card."
The trap flipped which shows of a image of people over some ice creatures before it shattered on the field.
"Then I can add Alluring Mirror Split to my hand thanks to Perfumer's ability." Emily continued.
"Can that help though?" Adrian asked seeing that. "As it stands even if your monster gets equal in strength than Hydrogeddon, you will only lose your monster, and you can't destroy Acid Cloud through battle."
"My card is yours Emily." Claire smiled which Emily smiled back.
"Right, I tune level four Harpie Perfumer with level four Wattgiraffe." Emily called as Perfumer became four green rings and Wattgiraffe turned into four stars. "I Synchro Summon Cyber Slash Harpie Lady!"
(LV: 4 + 4 = 8)
Forming was Cyber Slash Lady ready with it's trademark battlecry out onto the field.

Cyber Slash Harpie Lady: (ATK: 2600 + 200 = 2800/DEF: 1400 + 200 = 1600)
"What's this? Synchro Summoning with no Tuner monster?" Bastion spoke seeing this interested on this while Adrian looks up at the large Harpie.
"When I Synchro Summon Cyber Slash, I can treat a Harpie as a tuner, but there's more, I can use my Hunting Ground to destroy your other set card, and as a bonus I can return Cloudian - Acid Cloud to your hand thanks to Cyber Slash Harpie Lady's ability!" Emily called as the Harpie Synchro Monster charges up energy.
Acid Cloud looked up as Cyber Slash Lady armed up before Bastion called over. "Well, I will use my set card! Skill Prisoner!"

During either player's turn, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 card you control; this turn, when any monster effect resolves that targeted that card at activation, negate that effect.
"When you target a card on our field with a Monster Effect for the rest of this turn, when that Monster Effect resolves, the effect is negated!" Bastion called as Acid Cloud was protected.
Cloudian - Acid Cloud: (Skill Prisoner)
"Cyber Slash Harpie Lady's effect was negated!" Adrian called over from this that the effect didn't happen which meant Acid Cloud is still on the field.
Emily frowned slightly before taking a breath. "I set two cards, and then I'll summon Harpie Oracle with her ability." Oracle rose onto the field cawing loud.
(Attack Position)
Harpie Oracle

● If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 Spell/Trap from your GY to your hand, that specifically lists the card "Harpie Lady Sisters" in its text, during the End Phase of this turn.
Harpie Oracle: (ATK: 1300 + 200 = 1500/DEF: 1400 + 200 = 1600)
"So now Harpies Ground's effect can activate a third time, which would mean they can take out Duel Academy." Alexis said seeing this that from how this looks, they can destroy Duel Academy to prevent it's further effects.
"Well that be a bad idea." Chumley spoke to Alexis although Claire, and Emily didn't hear that part since this is there chance to destroy the Duel Academy field card.
Emily however looked. "I use Harpies' Hunting Ground to destroy Summon Cloud!"
"Why target it instead of Duel Academy when it's the bigger threat?" Claire asked her wondering what she has in mind while Summon Cloud is destroyed.
"Cloudian monsters are hard to destroy and if he kept it in play he could have brought out Eye of the Typhoon... plus, I have an idea." Emily admitted before checking her hand, and placing a card. "I play a trap from my hand, Harpie's Feather Storm!"
Harpie's Feather Storm
Normal Trap Card
If you control a WIND Winged Beast monster: Until the end of this turn, negate any monster effects your opponent activates. If you control a "Harpie" monster, you can activate this card from your hand. If this card in its owner's Spell & Trap Zone is destroyed by an opponent's card effect: You can add 1 "Harpie's Feather Duster" from your Deck or GY to your hand.
"Since I have a Wind attribute Winged-Beast in play until the end of the turn all of your monster effects are negated. Now, Cyber Slash Harpie Lady attack Hydrogeddon!"
The Synchro Monster charges in slashing her claws down onto Hydrogeddon destroying it from all the clawing as Bastion, and Adrian raised their arms. (Bastion & Adrian: 5800/Hands: (Both: 2))
"And with its effects negated I can destroy Poison Cloud with Harpie Oracle!" Emily called while Harpie Oracle moves in to attack.
Poison Cloud looked up as Harpie's Oracle charges in attacking all over Poison Cloud as it groaned destroyed. Since the trap prevents Adrian from using activated Monster Effects, he is unable to use Poison Cloud's effect to destroy Oracle, and deal some damage.
Emily let out a sigh. "I end my turn. Which means Harpie Oracle would get a spell or trap in my graveyard and add it to my hand but I don't have one."
Emily's Hand: 1/Field with Claire: Harpies' Hunting Ground (Field Zone), Cyber Slash Harpie Lady (Attack Position/ATK: 2800/DEF: 1600), Harpie Oracle (Attack Position/ATK: 1500/DEF: 1600), Watthopper (Attack Position) x2, Two Set Cards

Bastion 2nd Turn:
"Bravo, good show girls." Bastion drew checking to see. "But as I said before, it'll be short lived starting with this! I start by discarding Duoterion from my hand to activate it's special effect! I take 1 Bonding card from my Deck, and add it to my hand!" He discards a monster searching his Deck, and adding his chosen card. "And let's not forget Duel Academy's effect!"
Cloudian - Acid Cloud: (ATK: 1500 + 1000 = 2500)
"Cyber Slash Harpie Lady's ability returns Acid Cloud to your hand!" Emily mentioned as the Synchro Monster charged a windstorm at the monster which Acid Cloud groaned as it was forced off into Adrian's hand.
"But now you can't use that effect again." Bastion pointed out with a grin.
"You have no monsters in play." Emily pointed out.
"Not for long as I activate Monster Reborn!" Bastion shows a spell card.
Monster Reborn
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 monster in either GY; Special Summon it.
"So I revive 1 monster from the graveyard!" Bastion takes the monster he just discarded. "So revive back Duoterion!" Reviving onto the field was another muddy dinosaur different from Hydogeddon roaring.
(Attack Position)
Duoterion
WATER
Level 5
Dinosaur/Effect
ATK: 2000
DEF: 1400
You can discard this card; add 1 "Bonding" Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 "Hydrogeddon", "Oxygeddon", or "Duoterion" in your GY; Special Summon it. You can only use each effect of "Duoterion" once per turn.
Duel Academy: (Gains second effect)
"And since a Spell card was activated, Duel Academy's effect activates! Cerulean Skyfire!" Bastion called as another lightning blast fired at both girls.
Emily and Claire braced themselves.
(Claire & Emily: 5000/Hands: (Emily: 1/Claire: 0))
"And next another spell card, Bonding - D2O!" Bastion reveals another spell card from his hand.
Bonding - D2O
Normal Spell Card
Tribute 2 "Duoterion" and 1 "Oxygeddon" in your hand and/or field; Special Summon 1 "Water Dragon" or "Water Dragon Cluster" from your hand, Deck, or GY. (This is treated as a Special Summon with the effect of "Bonding - H2O".) If "Water Dragon" or "Water Dragon Cluster" is sent from the field to your GY while this card is in your GY: Add this card to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Bonding - D2O" once per turn.
"By sacrificing 2 Duoterions, and an Oxygeddon from my hand or field, I can mingle them into their true form!" Bastion reveals two cards in his hand as they alongside the monster on his field started to fuse together. "To create the all-powerful Water Dragon Cluster!"
Forming was a large water orb before it generated two Chinese dragons within entirely made of water roaring together.
(Attack Position)
Water Dragon Cluster
WATER
Level 10
Sea Serpent/Effect
ATK: 2800
DEF: 2600
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned with the effect of a "Bonding" Spell/Trap. If this card is Special Summoned: You can activate this effect; Effect Monsters your opponent currently controls cannot activate their effects for the rest of this turn, also change their ATK to 0 until the end of this turn. (Quick Effect): You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 2 "Water Dragon" from your hand and/or Deck in Defense Position, ignoring their Summoning conditions.
Both Claire, and Emily never seen those cards before, they can recall that Bastion uses cards of his Water Dragon Deck from Hydrogeddon, and thought he added Bonding - H20 but they never seen both that Duoterion card, that Bonding Spell, and now this new Water Dragon.
"This... doesn't look good." Claire frowned.
"And now as Water Dragon Cluster is summoned all your monsters can't use their effects, and lose all their Attack Points!" Water Dragon Cluster summoned a large tsunami blasting over at both of their monsters.
Emily's eyes widened as both her monsters were weakened.
Cyber Slash Harpie Lady: (ATK: 2800 - 2800 = 0/Can't activate effects this turn)
Harpie Oracle: (ATK: 1500 - 1500 = 0/Can't activate effects this turn)
Watthopper: (Can't activate effects this turn) x2
"Don't be concerned though, your effects aren't negated, so your Watthopper still prevents me from attacking them... your Harpies however are another story!" Bastion grinned over to Emily as he said this.
"But before the battle begins the effect of my trap card, The Ice-Bound God activates from the graveyard!" Adrian first cut in as his set trap card glowed. "When a WATER Monster that's Level 5 or higher is summoned, I can place this card back onto my field under the condition it's banished when it leaves the field!" The card was set from his graveyard.
The Ice-Bound God: (Set/Banished when leaves the field)
Claire frowned at that.
"And now Water Dragon Cluster attack Cyber Slash Harpie's Lady!" The large monster charged energy blasting over at the Synchro Monster who braces itself.
Emily cried out as her Synchro Monster was destroyed.
(Claire & Emily: 2200/Hands: (Emily: 1/Claire: 0))
"And next up, I use Water Dragon Cluster's other ability!" Bastion called as the two dragons roared seeming to split apart. "So now, I can summon 2 Water Dragons from my hand or from my Deck without Bonding - H20!" From that two identical dragons rose up forming with growls.
(Defense Position)
Water Dragon
WATER

"Not good." Chumley frowned.
"As Water Dragon Cluster left the field, I recover Bonding - D2O from my graveyard." Bastion shows the spell card before then looking at them. "It's your turn now."
Bastion's Hand: 1/Field: Duel Academy (Field Zone/Gains second effect), Water Dragon (Defense Position) x2, The Ice-Bound God (Set/Banished when leaves the field)
Claire 2nd Turn:
Claire drew her card only to frown. "I switch Harpie Oracle to Defense Position, and summon Wattcobra in Attack Position." Wattcobra rose up hissing over at them.
(Attack Position)
Wattcobra
LIGHT
Level 4

ATK: 1000
DEF: 500
This card can attack your opponent directly. When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent by a direct attack: Add 1 "Watt" monster from your Deck to your hand.
"Wattcobra attack them directly."
Wattcobra charges over snapping it's jaw at the two that they defended themselves grunting. (Bastion & Adrian: 4800/Hands: (Bastion: 1/Adrian: 2))
"Wattcobra's ability adds a Watt monster from my deck to my hand, but that's all I can do." Claire frowned ending her turn.
Claire's Hand: 1/Field with Emily: Harpies' Hunting Ground (Field Zone), Harpie Oracle (Defense Position/ATK: 0/DEF: 1600), Watthopper (Attack Position) x2, Wattcobra (Attack Position), Two Set Cards
Adrian 2nd Turn:
"My turn again, draw!" Adrian drew checking. "And I use, The Ice-Bound God!" His trap rose onto the field.
The Ice-Bound God
Normal Trap Card
If 2 or more WATER monsters are on the field: Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; that face-up monster cannot attack, also its effects are negated. If a Level 5 or higher WATER monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned to your field, while this card is in your GY (except during the Damage Step): You can Set this card, but banish it when it leaves the field. You can only use this effect of "The Ice-Bound God" once per turn.
"Since there are 2 or monsters that are WATER on the field, I can negate the effects of one monster on your field! Like one of those Watthoppers of yours!"
Before the left Watthopper can move it got enveloped in a chunk of ice.
Watthopper: (Effects Negated/Cannot attack)
Claire's eyes widened as the electrical barrier protecting her monsters vanished.
"Now I switch both Water Dragons to Attack Position, and summon Acid Cloud back to the field who's effect gives itself a Fog Counter." Adrian summons the monster while both Water Dragons rose up.
Water Dragon: (Attack Position) x2
Cloudian - Acid Cloud: (Attack Position/Fog Counter: 1)
Duel Academy: (Gains second & third effects)
"And Duel Academy's effect activates!"
Cloudian - Acid Cloud: (ATK: 500 + 1000 = 1500)
Emily shivered seeing that.
"And now Water Dragon attack that Watthopper!" The right Water Dragon charges an attack blasting over at the Watthopper that doesn't have it's effects negated.
The attack hit sending Emily and Claire crashing to the ground in defeat.
Emily & Claire: 0000
Hands: (Emily: 1/Claire: 2)
Field: Harpies' Hunting Ground (Field Zone), Harpie Oracle (Defense Position/ATK: 0/DEF: 1600), Watthopper (Attack Position/Effects Negated/Cannot attack), Wattcobra (Attack Position), Two Set Cards

Bastion & Adrian wins!
"A fine showing you two but not fine enough." Bastion spoke to the little girls as he walked over. "Well now, despite your impressive abilities your better served as a couple of cards." He raised his Duel Disk preparing to card the two.
"Hold up Bastion, you haven't taken us all out yet!" Alexis pointed out as she steps in front of the girls defending them from getting carded.
"What, are you going to work with Chumley, you may as well surrender now, that worthless failure doesn't stand a chance in a duel." Adrian glared at her.
"I almost beat Crowler though, and I designed some of your cards so we do have somewhat of a chance." Chumley spoke despite some fear he will defend the two girls.
Meanwhile with Yuya's group...
"Ah!" one Obelisk Force landed on his back defeated from Carlita's Quintet Magician despite the Duel Academy field card they managed to break through Obelisk Force while they are finding the Professor.
"I don't like this, it's too easy." Celina frowned as Rin had just burned the last of another Obelisk Force member's life points to zero.
"Yes indeed." Declan is also suspicious as he looks around. "Nothing but Obelisk Force..."
"Well, isn't it good we haven't seen anyone dangerous?" Zuzu pointed out.
"Only if we can see if you all are worth our time." a voice spoke.
Looking over they see someone on a ledge above them before they jumped down. He rose looking over as they see the person. It's a boy that has spiky black hair wearing a black jacket as he turned over towards them.
"Chazz Princeton, you're the last person I wanted to see." Celina frowned.
"He strong?" Lulu asked her.
"No, but annoying." Celina answered.
"I'll show you annoying when I'm done here, cause I will Chazz you all up here!" Offended from what she said, the boy, Chazz, spoke with a glare to them.
"Yeah, he sounds annoying." Zuzu admitted after hearing that.
"But be a good idea not to underestimate him though." Yuya spoke from this. "Who will face him though?"
"I can." Lulu offered.
Ulrich362: Can Lulu defeat Chazz?
bopdog111: Probably if we can remember the kind of powerhouse he is. And Chumley, he had one of his anime cards printed recently, and we never really use him at an Arc-V setting at all.
Ulrich362: Well... we'll have to wait and see. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
