0713MM: Hey guys! Here is the 6th chapter of my Arc-V fic! I do not own Arc-V, nor its characters. Chapter start!

Chapter 6

"We managed to fight them off, but there were casualties in the end." They had went to regroup back in Leo Corporation Tower. Shun and Ruri found Yuzu. And upon seeing her state, took her and Yuya with them to the tower; the two sitting next to each other. Yuya looked at Yuzu with a worried expression on his face.

"I've never seen Yuzu look this before." Yuya admitted.

"That is because of her shock to fighting Academia and its forces." Reiji remarked as he, Zeddicus, and Reira entered the room with the others. "Not only that, but Supreme Commander Ryo Marufuji carded her Father prior to my duel with him."

"What?! He carded the principal too?!" Yuya yelled, shocked.

"But why go after him?" Shun questioned with a frown.

"To weaken Yuzu Hiiragi from a mental standpoint." Zeddicus replied. "With her mentally weakened, she'd be an easy target for Ryo Marufuji. But like Reiji said, he dueled Ryo instead."

"But then who dueled Yuzu?" Ruri wondered aloud. She paused, then turned to Yuya. "Yuya, describe the person Yuzu was dueling again. You told us when you located us during the battle that Yuzu was dueling an Academia Commander based on his clothing. Did your vision show you anything else about him? Like his face for example."

"Well-" Yuya began, but Reiji stopped him by raising a hand.

"While that information is important, it's not as important as this mystery Academia Commander's dueling style is. That's what I deem important."

"You mean when he Synchro Summoned?" Yuya questioned.

"He's right. No one in Academia has ever done any other Summonings except Fusion." Heather frowned. "At least none that we know of."

"We know Commander Phoenix also uses Xyz." Yuto recalled. "But Synchro Summoning? Aside from seeing Zeddicus do it, I never even knew it existed prior. Fusion and Xyz were all we knew of. That was until we came to Standard in looking for allies to help us fight against Academia."

"Couldn't that mean that it's possible that Academia has allies from another Dimension?" Yuya questioned.

"It's a possibility." Heather replied thoughtfully. "With our own Dimension-Xyz, Standard, and Fusion there must be a Synchro one as well. So then…"

"So then that means we're going to Synchro." Reiji remarked as he adjusted his glasses.

"We'll have to prepare for the worst though. In case that Dimension is in league with Academia." Serena frowned.

"But if not, we might be able to find more allies." Yuto pointed out.

"Right."

"...Go on without me….." The others paused in there discussion, then turned to face Yuzu, whose face was slightly pale; her hands shaking as she moved them towards her face.

"What?" Serena frowned. "Why?"

"Yuzu?" Yuya spoke, worried.

"Don't you get it?" Yuzu retorted as she moved her shaking hands away from her face. "I'm not strong enough to be of any help! Serena, Shun, Yuto, Heather, and even you Yuya, you're all strong enough to make a difference! Sure I nearly defeated the mystery Commander, but I could tell he wasn't even trying to win! He was holding back! And he still beat me!"

"Yuzu you are strong!" Yuya protested.

"Am I Yuya?!" Yuzu gnashed her teeth in anger and sadness. "Or are you just saying that to make me feel better?!"

"You know that's not it!" Yuya frowned. "You have gotten stronger! Even learning different Summoning methods! You shouldn't doubt yourself!" Shun listened to the conversation between Yuya and Yuzu and he pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation. Eventually, he strode over to Yuzu and lifted her off the couch.

"Stop this pity party of yours Hiiragi!" Shun snapped. "Feeling sorry for yourself isn't going to help anyone! Especially not yourself!"

"Nii-san you don't just lift someone up like that." Ruri scowled.

"I'm emphasizing a point Ruri." Shun told her before shoving Yuzu backwards. "If Yuzu wants to pity party, that's fine. But she should do it elsewhere."

"Hold on Shun." Yuto began with a frown. Shun glanced at Yuto before he sighed.

"I suppose you're right." Shun admitted.

"Then if the arguing is over, I'd like to pass out the coordinates for Synchro." Reiji spoke.

"You already know the coordinates for that dimension?" Yuri questioned. Reiji glanced at Yuri and nodded.

"Correct." Reiji replied. "Let's just say that when I ended up in Fusion 3 years ago, I managed to get the coordinates of Synchro, among a few other Dimensions."

"Including ours no doubt." Heather stated.

"Obviously." Zeddicus laughed lightly.

"Is there anything this guy doesn't know?" Yuri muttered.

"The result of this Dimensional War." Shun muttered.

"Ok enough both of you." Heather frowned. Reiji then approached each duelist and handed them the coordinates for Synchro. After giving everyone the cards with the coordinates, he reached Yuzu and held out a card to her. Yuzu looked at it, then pushed Reiji's hand away.

"I already said that I'm not joining you in this fight." Yuzu told him firmly. "You can try to convince me if you'd like, but it'll take a lot of it."

"That's time we cannot afford." Shun frowned deeply. "So you better decide now Yuzu."

"..."

"You need convincing Yuzu?" Heather inquired. "Then if our words won't reach you, then about a duel? Against me." Yuzu looked at the tall, waist long blonde-haired female in slight surprise.

"You're challenging me to a duel?" Yuzu questioned before she shrugged. "I guess it couldn't hurt."

"That's the spirit Hiiragi." Heather told her, a light smile on her face. Afterwards, she turned to Reiji and Zeddicus. "Set up the arena would you?"

Does she expect them to do it like that? Yuya thought with a sweatdrop.

"Sure." Zeddicus replied, somewhat reluctantly, while Reiji just nodded. "Come on Reira, want to help me and your brother set up the arena? You'll even get a front row seat for the duel too."

"Ok…" Reira nodded shyly.

Yuya sat with the others, watching as Yuzu and Heather stepped onto opposite sides of the field in the arena. Shun, Ruri, Serena, and Yuri sat in the same area as Yuya did. Zeddicus, Reiji and Reira in the higher position to control Action Fields.

"I'd kindly request there to be no Action Field." Heather told Reiji via a small device in her right ear.

"Sorry, but we have to." Reiji replied. "We can set it up so there are no Action Cards, however."

"Works for me." Heather turned to face Yuzu. "You ready?" Yuzu gave a shaky nod.

"Y-Yeah." Yuzu replied.

Let me see what you say about yourself is true or not. Heather thought. Are you really weak Yuzu Hiiragi? Or are you letting your self doubts speak for you?

"Think Heather will get through to her?" Yuri questioned.

"If anyone can, it's Heather." Ruri nodded.

"I should hope so." Serena added as she crossed her arms. "We did teach her Fusion and Xyz Summoning after all."

"The problem is her self confidence. Whoever it was that she dueled must've been very strong to deal a major blow to her like this." Yuto remarked.

"...Yuzu…" Yuya whispered to himself. Eventually he turned to face the others. "Yeah. She even said that whoever that Academia Commander was wasn't even trying to win. That's the part that shattered her confidence."

"In a way he was mocking her. Hmph now that really ticks me off." Serena scowled.

"I agree with you there Serena." Shun frowned deeply. "Even I'm ticked off by that guy for doing this to Yuzu."

"I say we get revenge on him for Yuzu's sake and then let her have her own revenge." Yuri smirked.

"Ha!" Serena laughed at Yuri's words. "That'll be great!"

"Shush! The duel is starting." Yuto spoke.

"Ready Yuzu?" Heather asked as she raised her left arm up and activated her duel disk.

"Heh. Not really." Yuzu admitted as she followed suit and activated her own duel disk. "But I have to start somewhere in regaining my confidence, right?"

"That's the spirit." Heather grinned.

"DUEL!"

"I'll go first!" Yuzu declared. (Yuzu's hand: 5 cards. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 5 cards. Heather's LP: 4000.) Yuzu looked at her hand and gaped.

Th-This hand…?! Yuzu thought in a panic. She moved her hand slowly towards a card in her hand.

"I…..I Normal Summon Mezzo the Melodious Diva in ATK mode." Yuzu began shakily. The small duet of what appeared to be small children appeared onto Yuzu's field. (Mezzo the Melodious Diva, attribute: LIGHT, type: Fairy, Level 1, ATK/DEF: 100. Yuzu's hand: 4 cards. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 5 cards. Heather's LP: 4000.) Upon seeing that, Yuya nearly fell off his seat.

"Whaaaaa?! In ATK mode?!" Yuya gaped.

"It must have an effect." Yuri frowned.

"I…...set 2 cards and end my turn." Yuzu murmured as she did so. (Yuzu's hand: 2 cards. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 5 cards. Heather's LP: 4000.)

"That's it?!" Serena gaped.

"That mystery Academia Commander really messed up her self confidence." Shun frowned deeply. "She can't even duel properly now." He tapped on Mezzo's card on his duel disk and showed the others. "Had Yuzu decided to Tribute Mezzo, she could have added either a Movement or Ostinato Spell from her Deck to her hand, then use it. But she didn't."

"She could've been able to Fusion Summon on her first turn." Yuri frowned.

"Yeah." Ruri frowned. "But she didn't due to her self confidence lacking." Heather looked at Yuzu's field and sighed.

"Had you decided to Tribute your Mezzo, you could have gotten a Movement of Ostinato Spell to your hand from your Deck." Heather told the pinkette. Yuzu looked at her monster gaped, then closed her eyes.

"Y-Yeah…" Yuzu muttered as she reopened her eyes. "Either way, it's your turn now."

"Right." Heather nodded. "Draw!" (Yuzu's hand: 2 cards. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 6 cards. Heather's LP: 4000.) Heather looked at her hand and grabbed 2 cards from it and revealed them to Yuzu. "Due to Nebula Dragon's effect, I Special Summon both it and Schwarzschild Limit Dragon from my hand in Defense Position, but their effects are negated." A yellow nebula star-like dragon and a dark and snake-like dragon that formed the infinite symbol appeared onto Heather's field. (Nebula Dragon, Level 8 LIGHT Dragon-type monster, ATK/DEF: 2000/0. Schwarzschild Limit Dragon, Level 8 DARK Dragon-type monster, ATK/DEF: 2000/0. Yuzu's hand: 2 cards. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 4 cards. Heather's LP: 4000.)

"2 Level 8 monsters just like that!" Yuya gaped.

"Which means Heather will Xyz Summon." Yuto added. Yuzu's body shook steadily as Heather raised her right arm upwards.

"I overlay my Level 8 Nebula Dragon and Schwarzschild Limit Dragon!" Heather announced. The 2 monsters turned into yellow and purple streams of energy that soared into the portal before it exploded. "Appear Number 97! The dragon god that reigns in the shadow your roar summons your followers! Dragon Shadow God - Dragravion!" Out of portal came forth a black and grey-scaled dragon. 2 Overlay Units circled around the dragon as it roared at Yuzu. (Number 97: Dragon Shadow God - Dragravion, Rank 8 DARK Dragon-type Xyz monster, ATK/DEF: 3000. Xyz Materials: 2. Yuzu's hand: 2 cards. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 4 cards. Heather's LP: 4000.)

"W-Wow…" Yuya gaped, stunned. Yuzu covered her face with her arms from the dragon's roar.

"I now activate Dragravion's effect!" Heather announced. "By using 1 Overlay Unit, I can take 2 Dragon Numbers from my Extra Deck, and Summon 1 of them. The other becomes an Xyz Material to that Summoned Number. I choose Number 107 and C107. I shall Summon Number C107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon via this effect. Number 107 becomes its Xyz Material." The 3 yellow-headed dragon appeared onto Heather's field, followed by 1 Chaos Overlay Unit which was Number C107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon, Rank 9 LIGHT Dragon-type Xyz monster, ATK/DEF: 4500/3000. Xyz Material(s): 1. Yuzu's hand: 2 cards. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 4 cards. Heather's LP: 4000.)

"Answer me this Yuzu." Heather spoke. "Your enemies will not be merciful in their duels against you. So you have to regain your confidence! Even if I have to beat it into you!"

"Heather…." Yuzu muttered.

"I activate Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon's effect!" Heather revealed. "By using 1 Chaos Overlay Unit, I can-"

"Negate the effects of all other face-up cards on the field for the turn, along with preventing either of us from using set cards?" Yuzu interjected, surprising the blonde female. "Sorry, but I activate my Counter Trap, Crescendo! Since I control a Melodious monster when you'd activate a monster, Spell or Trap effect, I can negate the activation, then destroy the card!" Heather watched as her Chaos Number shattered; thus a smile formed on her face.

"Looks like your confidence is back." Heather remarked.

"I never would have guessed that her set card was that." Serena remarked.

"I think you've done what you've needed to do, Heather." Reiji spoke up. "You can end the duel now.

"In a no result? Boring!" Yuri scowled. "I want to see the ending!"

"Yeah! We entertainers duel to the end of the show." Yuya grinned. Reiji's smile didn't vanish from his face from those remarks.

"I approve of letting them continue." Zeddicus added.

"Then they shall." Reiji agreed.

"In that case, battle!" Heather declared. "Dragravion, attack Mezzo!"

"I activate the Trap, Melodious Rhythm Change!" Yuzu announced, as the trap flipped face-up. "By returning Mezzo to my hand, I can then Special Summon Aria the Melodious Diva from my hand in Defense Position! And due to Aria's effect whenever she's Special Summoned, no Melodious monsters I control cannot be destroyed by battle, nor can they be targeted by effects!"

"Impressive defense!" Heather retorted as Dragravion's attack slammed into the now Summoned Aria, who blocked the attack. (Aria the Melodious Diva, Level 4 LIGHT Fairy-type monster, ATK/DEF: 1600/1200. Yuzu's hand: 2 cards. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 4 cards. Heather's LP: 4000.)

"I set 2 cards to end my turn." Heather concluded. (Yuzu's hand: 2 cards. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 2 cards. Heather's LP: 4000.) "It's your turn now, Yuzu."

"My turn, draw!" Yuzu declared. (Yuzu's hand: 3 cards. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 2 cards. Heather's LP: 4000.)

"Their LP are equal, but Heather's field has the advantage." Yuri remarked.

"For now." Yuya grinned. "Yuzu isn't one for giving up in a situation like this. Watch!"

"Oh, we're watching." Ruri remarked. Yuzu looked at the card she drew, then the cards in her hand. She grabbed 1 card from her hand and revealed it to Heather.

"I activate the Field Spell, Melodious Performance!" Yuzu announced. The field surrounding the 2 duelists changed to that of what appeared to be a concert. Mozarta and Sonata on stage doing some singing. "Due to this card, I can activate Ostinato and 1st Movement Solo, even if I control monsters! But that's not all! Upon activating this card, I can then apply 1 of the 3 following effects: ● Special Summon 1 "Melodious" monster from your hand.

● Add 1 "Melodious" monster from your Deck or GY to your hand.

● Activate 1 "Fortissimo" from your Deck. I choose the 2nd effect to add 1 Melodious monster to my hand. I choose Alto the Melodious Songstress, which I summon!" Appearing onto the stage was a red and yellow dressed fairy with brown hair. (Alto the Melodious Songstress, attribute: LIGHT, type: Fairy, Level 4, ATK/DEF: 1600/1400. Yuzu's hand: 2 cards. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 2 cards. Heather's LP: 4000.)

"Unfortunately for you, I activate 1 of my set cards! Solemn Judgement!" Heather revealed. "By paying half of my LP whenever you'd Summon a monster(s), or activate a Spell or Trap, the Summon(s) or Spell/Trap activation is negated and destroyed!"

"No!" Yuzu gaped as Alto shattered. (Heather's LP: 4000/2 = 2000. Yuzu's hand: 2 cards. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 2 cards. Heather's LP: 2000.)

"Oooh! That's gonna hurt Yuzu's strategy." Serena winced.

"Yeah." Shun replied. "But at least she has Aria to defend her LP."

"I set 1 card to end my turn." Yuzu concluded. (Yuzu's hand: 1 card. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 2 cards. Heather's LP: 2000.) "Your turn Heather." Heather placed her right on top of her Deck, then glanced at Yuzu; a small smile on her face.

"For someone who's regaining there confidence, you're doing quite well." Heather replied. "But let's see how you handle my next move!" (Yuzu's hand: 1 card. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 3 cards. Heather's LP: 2000.) Heather looked at the card she drew, then smiled. "Looks like I'm gonna get that OTK move."

"Eh?" Yuzu wondered aloud.

"Allow me to show you!" Heather grinned as she pulled 3 cards from her hand. "I activate the Ritual Spell, Chaos Form! Now by sending Galactic Spiral Dragon to the GY, I can Ritual Summoned Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon to my field!" The ground shook as a dark blue armored dragon rose out of the ground and onto Heather's field. (Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, Level 8 DARK Dragon-type Ritual monster, ATK/DEF: 4000/0. Yuzu's hand: 1 card. Yuzu's LP: 4000. Heather's hand: 0 cards. Heather's LP: 2000.)

"What kind of dragon is that?!" Yuya gaped.

"Heather's ultimate weapon against Academia's Obelisk Force." Shun remarked. "It's true that Number C107 is her strongest monster, but this monster takes their whole piercing battle damage to a whole new level. See, if Chaos MAX attacks a Defense Position monster, he inflicts double piercing battle to the opponent instead of just regular piercing battle damage."

"On top of that, this dragon cannot be targeted or be destroyed by the opponent's card effects." Serena added.

"What?!" Yuya gaped.

"That's what I said." Yuri smirked.

"Yeah, and you also lost to her in the same turn she Summoned it." Serena smirked back.

"Regardless, Yuzu is in a bad situation." Ruri added. Yuzu raised her left arm up; bracing herself for the attack.

"Well what are you waiting for?" Yuzu grinned. "Attack!" Heather observed Yuzu's field.

It's obviously a trap. Heather thought. But considering I have no other cards in my hand, I have to.

"Alright Yuzu, I'll play your game!" Heather remarked as she thrusted her right hand forward. "Battle! Chaos MAX, attack Aria!" The dark blue armored dragon launched forward and used its claw to slash Aria. However…

"Trap card activate!" Yuzu announced. "Wall of Disruption! When you declared an attack, this Trap reduces the ATK of all monsters you control by 800 for each monster you control! Since you control 2, your monsters lose 1600 ATK!"

"Even so, you still take 2000 damage!" Heather pointed out as the attack connected. Yuzu tsked as she skidded backwards; her LP falling to 2000. (Yuzu's LP: 4000 - 2000 = 2000. Yuzu's hand: 1 card. Yuzu's LP: 2000. Heather's hand: 0 cards. Heather's LP: 2000.)

"That ends my turn." Heather finished. "I'm quite impressed Yuzu. You managed to survive my strongest weapon against Academia."

"Yeah well, I'm going to be the one to end this duel!" Yuzu shot back. "My turn!" (Yuzu's hand: 2 cards. Yuzu's LP: 2000. Heather's hand: 0 cards. Heather's LP: 2000.) Yuzu pulled a card from her hand and played it. "Since you control more monsters than me, I can Special Summon Acapella the Melodious Maestra to my field!" A pink-dressed female fairy singer appeared onto Yuzu's field. (Acapella the Melodious Maestra, attribute: LIGHT, type: Fairy, Level 6, ATK/DEF: 800/2400. Yuzu's hand: 1 card. Yuzu's LP: 2000. Heather's hand: 0 cards. Heather's LP: 2000.)

"I activate Acapella's effect!" Yuzu announced. "Now once per turn, since she was Special Summoned, I can add 1 Melodious Spell to my hand." A card ejected out of Yuzu's Deck; thus she added it to her hand. "I choose to add Ostinato V2! Which I now activate!"

"I was gonna ask how can she do that when she controls a monster, but her Field Spell allows her to use it even if she controls a monster." Ruri remarked.

"With this card, I shall fuse Elegy the Melodious Diva and Mozarta the Melodious Maestra in my Deck!" Yuzu continued. 2 ghostly forms of the monsters appeared before swirling into the Fusion Portal.

"Fusing monsters from the Deck. Impressive." Yuri remarked.

"Well, she did learn it from the best." Serena laughed.

"Sadden Lament! The flutter of angel wings! By the guidance of the baton, assemble your power. Fusion Summon! Now to the stage song of fantasia! Level 7! Ivaldia the Melodious Maestra!" Yuzu chanted. Out of the Fusion Portal came out a butterfly-like fairy that then landed onto the stage. (Ivaldia the Melodious Maestra, attribute: LIGHT, type: Fairy/Fusion, Level 7, ATK/DEF: 2500/2000. Yuzu's hand: 1 card. Yuzu's LP: 2000. Heather's hand: 0 cards. Heather's LP: 2000.)

"Amazing Yuzu!" Yuya smiled.

"Melodious Performance's effect! Once per turn when I Fusion Summon, I get to draw 1 card/" Yuzu spoke as she drew a card. She looked at it, then played it. "Now I activate Twin Twisters! By discarding 1 card from my hand, I can destroy up to 2 Spell/Traps on the field. I'll destroy your 1 set card!" A twister appeared and blew over to Heather's field; thus flipping her set Storming Mirror Force and destroying it.

"Tch…!" Heather grunted. "Now I can't stop your attack."

"That's right." Yuzu nodded as she thrusted her right hand forward. "Now battle! Ivaldia, attack Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon!"

"But Blue-Eyes has more power." Shun frowned as Ivaldia launched a musical note wave from her mouth.

"We shall see." Yuri remarked as Yuzu gestured to Ivaldia.

"I activate Ivaldia's effect!" Yuzu announced. "Now once during each of our turns, I can banish 1 Melodious monster from my GY, then a specific effect applies depending on the Melodious monster banished via this effect. I banish my Alto the Melodious Songstress into in order to draw 1 card!"

"What good will that do her?" Serena frowned.

"I'll answer that for you!" Yuzu smiled as she revealed the card she drew. "I activate Score the Melodious Diva's effect! Now by sending her from my hand to the GY, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon's ATK falls to 0 until the end of the turn!"

"Which means she can destroy Blue-Eyes!" Yuto gaped.

"Not just that." Ruri added. "But Heather will now take 2500 damage."

"Ruri is right!" Yuzu grinned. "Now take this!" Ivaldia's attack blasted through Chaos MAX; thus destroying it. Heather covered her face before the shockwave made her skid backwards. (Heather's LP: 2000 - 2500 = 0.)

"She actually won." Shun breathed, impressed.

"You did it Yuzu!" Yuya cheered with a grin.

"Y-Yeah. I guess I did." Yuzu smiled.

"Now that you've regained your self confidence back, we can now leave." Reiji spoke as he adjusted his glasses.

"With just us?" Yuya questioned.

"Us 10, yes." Reiji confirmed.

"10? I count 9 of us." Shun frowned.

"It's 10." Reiji repeated. "Reira will be joining us."

"Reira's just a kid!" Serena scowled. Reira shyly stepped out of behind Reiji, a shy expression on her face.

"She may be a kid, but she wanted to join us." Reiji replied. "My Mother has no knowledge of this. I don't see Reira as a super weapon. I see her as her own person that needs a chance to regrow herself."

"And you think battle is the best option?" Heather frowned.

"Who knows?" Reiji shrugged. "I just know that battle is better than staying here." They looked unsure while Yuzu looked at Reira.

"Are you sure you want to go?" She asked the younger one gently. Reira looked up at Yuzu and nodded shyly.

"Guess we have no choice." Yuri sighed.

"In that case." Zeddicus spoke up. "Start up your duel disks and accept the disk we gave to each of you so your duel disk can transport you to the coordinates given. Doing so should lead us to Synchro."

"Then let's go." Yuto replied, turning on his duel disk.

"Right." Heather nodded as she did the same. Soon after, everyone else began to follow suit. Reiji helped Reira with hers. After they all finished, there duel disks flashes white before they all vanished from the area.

"Commander!" An Academia soldier called to Edo. "There seems to have been dimension crossings occured moments ago sir." Edo glanced at the Academia soldier and nodded.

"Thank you." Edo remarked. "Who was it? Do you know?" He paused, then added. "Actually, I'll go to the main computer room to find out." The soldier saluted to Edo as he left to go to the computer room. Upon entering, Edo noticed someone already in it.

"Ah Edo." The figure turned the chair around to face him. He had carrot-blonde hair and violet eyes. Along with wearing an Academia outfit. "So you got the news of dimensional travel."

"It would seem so Atlas. And I have no doubt it was Serena and Yuri." Edo frowned.

"If so, then we need to capture them." Jack remarked. "But they are no longer in Standard according to our readings."

"So then where are they?" Edo questioned. "Them being sent to Xyz is unlikely. And if they were, we have several Academia soldiers, along with a commander there."

"Then there's only one place they could be going." Jack retorted coolly. "The dimension that is neutral in Fusion's warfare. For now. My home dimension: Synchro."

0713MM: And that's that! Yuzu gets her self confidence back in a duel against Heather Shadows. And Jack Atlas has officially debuted as a Commander of Academia. I know I severely reduced the Standard Dimension Arc by a lot, but the other things within season 1 were kinda pointless lol. HOWEVER! The Xyz Dimension Arc will be a LOT longer than the anime made it. Synchro Dimension Arc will be around the same length as the anime's. If anyone has suggestions for things for me to do in the Synchro Dimension Arc, along with the Xyz Dimension Arc, then either put it in your reviews, or PM me your suggestions.
