bopdog111: The final Dimension is now here everyone.
Ulrich362: Yeah, it's been a long journey but finally the Lancers will reach the Fusion Dimension and are only a few steps away from Leo Akaba and putting an end to the Dimensional War.
bopdog111: And right now Yudo will need his sister, and girlfriend with him.
Ulrich362: Oh absolutely, he definitely will need them both.
bopdog111: "Why?" Well as what we seen earlier his mental health about this will not be so great right now.
Ulrich362: It looks like it, well let's hope things work out. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Everyone was gathered up after Declan given Dimensionizers to some of the Xyz Residence that can't travel between Dimensions for them to join the push to head to the Fusion Dimension for the last push ahead. Amy frowned a bit as he did while she and Carlita were staying near Yudo.
"Is he alright?" Alito noticed how close the two are getting to Yudo figuring he's hurt somewhere.
"I hope so." Amy frowned but hugged Yudo gently.
Yudo hugs his sister back getting real close to her. Carlita gently rubbed Yudo's back at that. "Can someone tell us when we're going to be heading out Alito?"
"Sure." Alito nodded.
Carlita nodded watching him walk off before she turned to Yudo. "It's going to be ok."
He slowly looked up to her. She gently embraced him. Yudo softly hugged her back rubbing his face against her shoulder. Amy frowned hugging him.
"... Do you need some... time to collect your thoughts?" Yuri inquired.
"...Yes please." Yudo answered to him.
"Right, I have something to do before we head to the Fusion Dimension after all." Yuri smirked as a flash of light enveloped Yudo.
"Y-Yudo?" Amy blinked surprised while Yudo blinked himself.
The light faded revealing Yuri. "He's taking some time to himself... as for me, I have something to take care of before you all head to the Fusion Dimension."
"...Pretty sure he meant with me, him, and her." Carlita brought up.
He turned to her and frowned before another flash replaced him with Yudo again. Yudo blinked from that looking around confused. Carlita frowned before kissing him gently. Yudo kissed back hugging her close. "...Is this... really the last push?"
"Yes, it is." Amy nodded.
"...Can we do it quick?"
"We can try." Carlita answered.
Yudo sniffed wiping his eyes. His sister and girlfriend both hugged him as Declan walked over to them. "Are you three prepared?"
They all looked over before Yudo said to him. "Yuri... has something to do before we leave Declan.
"Hm? What does he have to do?" Declan inquired.
Yudo shrugged before he stepped back closing his eyes letting Yuri take over. Only to his surprise Yuri didn't take over.
"It's fine, you should get going to stop the Professor." Yuri told him.
'Don't you have something to do?'
"... No, I don't."
"Are your sure?"
"Yes." Yuri answered.
Yudo closed his eyes before he turned back. "Sorry... he changed his mind."
Declan looked suspicious but nodded. "Alright then."
They all walked back which they turned over before Lulu walked patting Yudo's head. "You feeling okay now sweetie?"
Yudo wiped his eyes. "Yeah... just want this to be over right now."
"It's almost over." Rin told him gently.
He hugs Carlita nodding sniffing before readying. "O-Okay... I think I'm ready."
"Alright, then we'll all prepare to head to the Fusion Dimension." Declan nodded.
They all nodded readying over together. Meanwhile a white being with gems on his body appeared beside Yuma. This was Astral that Yuma mentioned, and he had appeared sometime after Yuto, and Yuma defeated the Tyler Sisters, and while he came to inform Eliphas was ready to aid Yuma said the Xyz Dimension is safe now thanks to the Lancers, and are gearing to stop the Fusion Dimension which while Astral was surprised thanks them, and also knows Sentinel which shocked him to see the benevolent Barian God with them while also knowing Yudo. Astral agreed to head with them too.
"Is everyone all ready?" he asked everyone.
"... No." Lulu frowned.
"Is there something wrong Lulu?" Girag turned over to her hearing that.
"There's a promise I have to keep first." she answered as Yudo recalled why Lulu and Rin were with them.
Yudo blinked before he widen his eyes, and closed his eyes giving control to Yuri.
"What?" he questioned at that.
"You have a promise to keep Yuri." Yudo answered over.
Yuri frowned. "You don't have time for a five on one duel."
"You still have to keep it."
Yuri sighed. "Fine."
"What promise?" Amy asked confused.
Carlita turned to her. "For Yuri to duel me, Rin, Lulu, Zuzu, and Celina."
"It was a promise we made when he helped us escape before, he wanted to duel..." Rin started only to pause. "Wait, you said four of us so why is it five now?"
"I wasn't aware Celina would turn into a traitor... so she counts as well." Yuri answered. "I don't intend on holding back and as for the rules... I'll go first and after each of your turns I'll go again, 4000 life points for each duelist agreed?"
They all looked at each other before they all nodded from this as they walked readying over.
"Do we really have time for this?" Vector frowned.
"It's a promise we made Vector." Lulu pointed out to him. "For our freedom."
"Well, make it quick." he rolled his eyes.
Shark smacked his head at that making him pout to Shark who didn't look sorry.
"Are you all ready?" Rin asked the other girls.
They turned back readying over as they stared.

Yuri looked at his hand and nodded. "I'll set one monster in defense position and play two cards facedown, that'll do for now."

The girls looked at each other deciding who be first before Carlita asked them. "Can I go first for us?"
"Alright." Rin nodded. "Go ahead."

"Okay, my turn!" Carlita drew checking before nodding. "I start with Advanced Ritual Art!"

"Now, you were saying?"
"Well next up, I activate the Field Spell, Magician's Salvation!" Carlita activates a card.

You can only use this effect of "Magician's Salvation" once per turn. You can only activate 1 "Magician's Salvation" per turn.
"And as a spell or trap card was activated Magician of Chaos' effect activates destroying 1 card on the field!" Carlita added over as the magician charged it's attack.
Yuri only smirked.
"And I pick..." Carlita looks over the cards wondering which one to destroy. Eventually she makes her choice. "On the card you activated! Predaplanet!" The magician fired a blast at the trap.
Yuri frowned slightly as his trap shattered.
"Next the effect of Magician's Salvation sets Eternal Soul from my Deck." Carlita places a card down. "And I use Dark Magic Veil!"
Dark Magic Veil

"And as she's summoned the effect of Magician's Salvation activates!" A magic circle appeared over the graveyard portal which Dark Magician Girl puts her hand in it. "Allowing her to summon Dark Magician from the graveyard!" She pulled revealing Dark Magician as it moved beside his Ritual counterpart.
(Attack Position)
Dark Magician

The monster was revealed before shattering.

"When Squid Drosera is sent from the field to the graveyard all your monsters get a Predator Counter and their levels are reduced to one." Yuri revealed.
The three had small plants bit them lowering them down.
Magician of Chaos: (Predator Counter: 1/LV: 7 - 6 = 1)
Dark Magician: (Predator Counter: 1/LV: 7 - 6 = 1)
Dark Magician Girl: (Predator Counter: 1/LV: 6 - 5 = 1)
Carlita frowned as she can't Xyz Summon now. But now she doesn't need too. "Dark Magician Girl attack him directly with Dark Burning Attack!" Dark Magician Girl charged in readying her staff.
Yuri braced himself as the blast hit.
(Yuri: 2000/Hand: 2)
"And now Magician of Chaos!" Carlita called as the Ritual charges in at Yuri.
Yuri could only watch as the blast hit wiping out his life points on Carlita's very first turn.

Yuri: 0000
Hand: 2
Field: One Set Card
Carlita, Celina, Rin, Lulu, and Zuzu wins!
Needless to say that kind of outcome took everyone off guard not expecting for Yuri to be beaten before the others can have a turn.
"Um... so, I guess we're ready to go?" Zuzu asked uncertainly.
"What was that?" Lulu asked over to Yuri with a glare.
"What?" he questioned.
"What was that?" Lulu repeated. "Why did it take that to beat you?"
"Your Ritual counterpart summoned two monsters with 2500 attack points, and one with 2000 on her first turn, a total of 7000 points of damage which was more than enough to deplete my life points." Yuri answered calmly.
"What was your set card?" Zuzu asked him.
"The trap card Predaplanning." Yuri answered handing her the card.
Predaplanning
Normal Trap Card
Send 1 "Predaplant" monster from your Deck to the GY; place 1 Predator Counter on each face-up monster on the field, and if you do, any of those monsters that are Level 2 or higher become Level 1 as long as they have a Predator Counter. If you Fusion Summon a DARK monster while this card is in your GY (except during the Damage Step): You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 card on the field; destroy it. You can only use each effect of "Predaplanning" once per turn.
She looked before handing the card back. "Perhaps when this is over we can try this again?"
Yuri frowned before switching back with Yudo. Yudo looked up at all five of them. Carlita hugged him. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah... that was amazing how strong you are." Yudo admitted to her.
She blushed a bit at that.
"Ok, well if everyone's ready we can head to the Fusion Dimension." Declan mentioned calmly.
They nodded from this readying over. With a nod from Yudo they all activated the teleports and vanished in a flash of light.
They all appeared in a dock looking around seeing there in a new area.
"Home sweet home." Celina frowned slightly. "Well, almost anyway."
Yudo sees Duel Academy, and stares at it stunned seeing it's really the same one from Yu-Gi-Oh GX although it's different now as Yuri sees images of Yu-Gi-Oh GX including Academy Island through his mind as he stares.
"Similar but different, just like the other dimensions." Yuri noted calmly.
"That... it looks so much more... dangerous." Claire frowned.
"How does it look on how your thinking?" Celina asked her, Emily, and Yudo.
"It's... so different but... hopefully when this is over it can be more like the one we know." Emily admitted.
"So what do we do first?" Lulu asked.
Before they can answer Yuya notices something, and gasped running off.
"Huh, Yuya!" Zuzu cried running after him.
Noticing this they all ran with him after to see where he's heading. Arriving Yuya stopped staring at something in shock.
"What are you looking at?" Sora asked him.
They looked where they see a building with a name.
You Show Duel School.
"That... You Show?" Zuzu asked shocked.
"Huh, so this is where it was. The Professor told me to look for this place while waiting for my mission to the Standard Dimension." Yuri noted. "I was to turn everyone here into a card."
"But how can there be a You Show here?" Yudo asked before then blinking realizing something. "Wait... is Yusho inside right now?"
"Guys!" the others all followed them in.
Bursting in they see students talking before looking over hearing the door being opened in shock from the barging.
"Who are..." asked a blonde young woman as she saw them only to blink. "Who are you?"
"We are the Lancers." Declan explained over to her. "And you are?"
"Alexis? What's going on?" asked a male voice.
Hearing that they looked over seeing a green haired man wearing a top hate, and red magician uniform walking in with a cane.
Yuya's eyes widened as he started tearing up. "Dad?"
"Yuya?" the man asked blinking shocked.
"Huh, you know them?" the blonde, Alexis, asked.
"Yuya's my son." the man answered over to her. "And these must be friends of his."
Yuya ran over and hugged the man with tears. The man softly smiled wrapping an arm around him before noticing Declan. "Declan..."
"It's been too long Yusho." Declan noted calmly. "We have... quite a bit to discuss."
"I can see that." the man Yusho said before he turned to Alexis. "Mind giving us some privacy Alexis?"
She looked hesitant but nodded.
So they walked over to a room alone.
(Cue Theme: Troubled)
Yusho sat down on a chair with the Lancers in the room. To start he smiled to Yuya, and Zuzu. "Yuya, Zuzu it's been way too long. How have you two been doing?"
"Well... mostly ok." Yuya admitted before frowning. "Actually things are... they've been really hard for me and mom."
"What happened?" Yusho frowned hearing that.
Yuya looked down as he, Zuzu, Declan, and Gong explained what had been happening before the Lancers were formed. Yusho frowned from this. "So Leo tried continuing to the other Dimensions."
"Yes." Declan confirmed.
"Do you have any clue why he was gathering the girls?" Yusho asked them.
"To combine the dimensions and create a utopia." Celina answered.
Yusho cupped his chin closing his eyes before shaking his head. "No... sorry but I don't think it's just that."
"What do you mean?" Carlita asked in confusion.
"I've known him for a long time. He must have another reason... the girls can't be the only reason cause if he really was combining the Dimensions, we would he want to use them when he's been trapping people in cards?" Yusho asked them.
"To combine the Dimensions requires a huge amount of energy, the people turned into cards are that source of energy." Yuri explained to Yudo.
"The people that are trapped into cards powers the Arc-V Reactor?" Yudo asked hearing that blinking. "But... wouldn't it makes sense for the girls to be turned to cards too if that's the case? Why would he not do that?"
"That's a good point, what makes the five of us special? Is it because we have the same face?" Rin asked frowning.
"But... Yudo and I have the same face and he isn't trying to capture us." Yuya pointed out. "Plus... whatever happened to us."
"That's true, you and Yuto somehow fused and so did Yudo and Yuri... if we can do that wouldn't it make more sense for us to be the ones that are special?" Yugo asked before frowning. "Ah, it doesn't make sense let's just beat him and make him tell us what's going on!"
"Yuri can you tell us what does Duel Academy have to defend themselves?" Yudo asked Yuri.
"The Obelisk Force, but beyond them there are a handful of skill duelists. Though I doubt you'll have to worry about any of..." Yuri started only to pause. "Well, actually you Lancers might have trouble with him."
"Who?" Yudo asked him concerned.
"Hell Kaiser, Zane Truesdale." Yuri answered.
"Zane..." Yudo trailed off remembering him looking really worried which Emily, and Claire heard.
"No way... the Zane Truesdale?" Claire frowned. "Not good... this is not good."
"You know him?" Sylvio asked before then recalling. "Oh he's one of those characters that came before us?"
"Yeah, and he's really strong." Yudo nodded nervously.
"How strong?" was Declan who asked.
"Well, I think he's unbeatable... if not for his heart condition." Emily admitted.
"Heart condition?" Zuzu asked blinking. "Is he sick?"
"It's his deck, it was affecting his heart but he still nearly won a duel while dying." Claire answered. "And... if he has his new cards he'll be even stronger."
"Actually the Heart Condition thing had been resolved a while back." Celina voiced over.
"It was?" Yudo asked.
"He had surgery but Syrus uses the Cyberdarks as they wanted to grow stronger." Celina answered what she recalled. "Zane starts over to catch up with Syrus but he is still a powerful duelist."
"Then... what does he play now?" Emily asked.
"Same thing." Celina answered. "But he does have new cards."
Yudo, Emily, and Claire all looked nervous hearing that.
Ulrich362: Everyone's arrived in the Fusion Dimension but have learned of a very dangerous duelist waiting for them.
bopdog111: Zane Truesdale.
Ulrich362: And from the sound of things he's even more powerful than he was in GX... though next up we'll see what the Lancers and their allies come up with to take the battle to Duel Academy.
bopdog111: And they encounter someone who is eager to take Celina to the Professor who Declan dueled before.
Ulrich362: Sounds fun, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
