bopdog111: Well this was held off for months again... sorry.
Ulrich362: Yeah, sorry about that.
bopdog111: We have too much on our plates, and this was pushed back.
Ulrich362: True, but hopefully this doesn't happen again but... who can say. Though hopefully you still enjoy reading this one. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Right now it was an hour since Obelisk Force, and everyone left from the Xyz Dimension, and now the Lancers along with there allies are helping the survivors get up, and try to rebuild over. But during this Yudo was looking quite a bit distracted over that everyone notices which he only asked to leave him, Amy, and Carlita alone for a bit.
Yudo turned over before he started crying again in front of them. Seeing that his sister and girlfriend both embraced him together.
"It's ok Yudo, you can let it out." Carlita whispered softly kissing him on the cheek. "We're both right here."
"I'm... I'm sorry for being such a crybaby right now..."
"It's ok, a lot's happening and it's taking its toll on everyone... we understand." Amy smiled gently. "But we're all together and it'll be over soon, I promise little brother."
"I just... I don't know how much more of this, I can take..." Yudo sobbed over. "Even after... what I had experienced when Yuto summoned that dragon."
Carlita frowned. "I don't know what to tell you, but I do know that if you need anything I'm right here."
Yudo hugged her close over while Amy frowned. Then she realized something, with the Standard Dimension safe-guarded, the Synchro Dimension allied, the Ritual Dimension safe from attacks, and now the Xyz Dimension saved, it just leaves the Fusion Dimension left. With one last push they can end the war.
"It's almost over... all that's left is to confront the Professor at Duel Academy." she mentioned.
They looked over to her.
"Standard, Ritual, Synchro, Xyz, and even our home is safe Yudo... the only Dimension left, is the Fusion Dimension." she pointed out.
"I... I hope I don't be a burden." Yudo looked down.
"You're not at all." Amy smiled. "Trust me."
He hugged her close crying against her shoulder. Amy gently held him and rubbed his back softly as Carlita decided that maybe the twins needed some time by themselves before the final mission. She moved to leave but a hand grabbed her wrist. Blinking she looked back. "Yudo?"
"Please... stay." He is looking up to her with tears in his eyes.
She nodded moving back and holding him. "For as long as you need."
He leaned close to her crying more over from this as they stayed for some minutes over just being close to him. Yuri was watching silently giving a slight frown in Yudo's mind, this reminding him of his own experiences as a child where while Yuri held strong, and embraced loneliness, Yudo has all the love in the world.
After a minute Yudo's crying begin to stop. Despite that his sister and girlfriend still held him gently. Yudo sniffed pulling away. "I'm... I'm sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry for Yudo." Amy told him softly.
"She's right." Carlita agreed. "You didn't do anything wrong."
Suddenly they heard footsteps letting them know that someone was approaching the tent. Hearing that they looked over as the entrance was opened. It was Shark and he was frowning. "We have a problem."
"What's wrong Shark?" Carlita asked him.
"Declan is out cold, he passed out not long after you three went in here and he hasn't moved since." Shark told them.
"Why did he pass out?" Yudo asked scared for his brother.
"Your guess is as good as mine but the fact is until he's on his feet we're not going anywhere." Shark frowned.
Yudo looked down from this.
"Can we see him?" Amy asked nervously.
"Yeah, Lulu and Sayaka are looking after him." Shark nodded leading them to another tent where they saw Declan on a blanket with his eyes shut.
Yudo, and Amy ran taking both of Declan's hands. Seeing that Carlita frowned a bit, it didn't make any sense... why would he have just passed out like that. Then she blinked remembering something, and looked around before turning to Shark. "What about Heartland?"
"Nobody's seen him since his disappearance, why?" he asked.
Carlita looked a little troubled before she made a mad suggestion. "Well... maybe somehow... Declan did what Vector done on Girag, Alito, Rio, and Dumon? He absorbed Heartland for some reason?"
Hearing that Yudo froze. "But... Declan's not from the Xyz Dimension and humans can't absorb each other."
"Normally." Yuri's voice pointed out.
Yudo frozen again turning to Yuri who stared at Declan's form before he turned to Yudo. "But you, and I are not normal. After I defeated you in our duel, I somehow absorbed you into me. And unless we forget Yuya had also absorbed Yuto too, and we have the girls who all share the same faces. Which could mean they can also absorb each other if they lose... Which means it's possible that Declan had absorbed that man for a reason."
Yudo slowly turned back to Declan from that taking what he said in mind. "Then... why are we absorbing each other?"
"If I knew that I would tell you... but if that is what happened... he should wake up soon though I would suggest checking his deck." Yuri pointed out.
Hearing that Yudo looked around, and sees Declan's Duel Disk. Heading over he takes the Deck out, and checks over it. Everything looked normal until he decided to check Declan's Extra Deck and saw the same D/D/D cards he always used... but then he saw one new card, Number 82: Heartlandraco.
"A Number?" Yudo asked seeing it.
"I assume that's not one you're familiar with?" Yuri questioned.
"Yeah, this isn't the number he used. He used Infection Buzz King." Yudo answered.
"Maybe he had others... either way it proves my point." Yuri told him.
Yudo just stared at the number in confusion.
"Yudo?" Amy asked. "What is it?"
"Declan... has one of Heartland's cards."
"What, but how?" Carlita questioned hearing that.
Yudo showed her the card. Carlita looked only to frown. "What's going on... just what is the Professor doing?"
"Carlita... there is something bigger, and... I think he has the answers." Yudo admitted to her.
"Then, we have to figure this out before... whatever he's planning." Amy pointed out.
Suddenly Declan started to move waking up.
"Declan?" Yudo asked in shock turning to him.
"What... what happened?" he questioned sitting up slowly.
"You passed out. What was the last thing you remember?" Lulu asked him softly.
"What voice?" Sayaka asked him.
"I don't remember the voice, but I remember what it said." Declan frowned. "Though it didn't make any sense."
"What did it say?" Amy asked.
Declan turned to her. "It said, 'So an alien and a daughter lead to this, interesting.'"
"An Alien... and a daughter?" Yudo blinked before paling. 'Yuri... you don't think it mean... the Light of Destruction?'
"It's possible." Yuri noted. "Though what does this daughter mean?"
'I... I don't know.' Yudo admitted.
"It's not important right now, what is important is heading to the Fusion Dimension and stopping my father's plans." Declan stated calmly.
Unknown to them at that exact moment in the Synchro Dimension...
"You seem frustrated." Nightshroud told Nick.
"Well what we we doing just sitting here while that brat has my dragon somewhere else?" Nick asked frustrated.
"We're waiting for the next step of our plan... you remember the vision correct?" Don Thousand questioned. "The boy dead at your feet?"
"Yes of course I remember."
"Well, to achieve that there's something you need to do here." Akhenaden told him. "You must defeat the psychic who you fought alongside and crush him."
"Then where is he?" Nick looked around.
"This way, I'll take you to him... make sure you win." Akhenaden mentioned turning and walking towards a building.
Nick only smirked as they walked together. Soon they reached an office where Sayer blinked seeing them. "What do you want with me now?"
"Oh nothing much. I'll be taking you with me." Nick smirked activating his Duel Disk.
Sayer frowned activating his own Duel Disk. "I don't think I will."
Nick just smirked as he drew his hand. "Be sure to entertain me."
Sayer frowned at that.
"DUEL!" Sayer and Nick called together.

"My turn." Nick drew. "And I use Vampire Grace's ability. She forces you to send a Monster, Spell, or Trap from your Deck to the graveyard. So send a Spell."
Sayer frowned sending a copy of Emergency Teleport to the graveyard.
"And when you do that, the effect of Kingdom activates." Nick sent a card from his Deck. "Now one card on your field is destroyed, and I pick for your Synchro to be the one." Kingdom set off an aura trapping Psychic Nightmare pulling it down a dark ditch.
After changing Grace to Attack Position, Nick smirked over. "Battle."
Vampire Grace: (Attack Position)
"Vampire Genesis gets the first attack." Genesis charges in at Sayer.

Nick then turned over towards Akhenaden. "So what now?"
"Watch." Akhenaden smirked as Sayer's body began to glow.
Nick turned over, and blinked seeing the glowing body.
"Now... make his power yours and everything will be clear." Nightshroud told Nick. "Absorb him."
Nick walked over, and reached a hand out to Sayer. The moment he did there was a flash of light before it faded with Sayer having vanished as Nick was standing alone. Nick blinked from the power he's feeling, and slowly looked at his hand amazed before he smirked.
"That's only one of the three you need to find, just imagine what will happen when you absorb the others." Don Thousand told him.
"Well where are they?"
"You should be drawn to them now." Akhenaden answered.
Nick smirked as he turned back to his fist laughing manically.
bopdog111: Well they are preparing to move to the final Dimension.
Ulrich362: True, and Nick has just become much more dangerous.
bopdog111: What is up with Declan, Nick, Sayer, and Heartland?
Ulrich362: No idea, but the answers must be in the Fusion Dimension... right?
bopdog111: Let's hope so. Be sure to review!
