Chereads / Yu-gi-oh 5D's-V / Chapter 10 - chapter 10

Chapter 10 - chapter 10

(30 minutes later)

Yuya has been leading Yusei, Lulu and Rin for 30 minutes now, but every now and then, he kept checking on them, though mostly Lulu to Rin's confusion, but Yusei knew the reason for Yuya's actions, making the Shooting Star of Satellite chuckle. Eventually the 14-year-old lead them to a federation style house.

"Here we are guys, my home". Yuya told the group as he turned to face the three, who were looking at his home. "Nice place you got here". Rin complemented with a smile, liking the house very much. "It actually suits you, Yuya". Lulu commented with a smile on her face as she turned to look at Yuya, who nervously looked away so she wouldn't see his blushing face. Yusei chuckled at seeing this as he placed his Duel Runner in parking mode right next to the front door.

"T-T-thank you Lulu". Yuya thanked the purple haired girl for her kind words, before he walked up to the front door. Yuya opened the door and was about to walk through, before he stopped himself. Yuya was silent for a few seconds, before he stepped back and gestured to the door with his hands. "L-Ladies first". The tomato haired boy nervously said, making Lulu and Rin look slightly surprised, while Yusei was amused.

"Thank you Yuya". Lulu thanked the boy as she and Rin walked in first, before Yuya followed them and Yusei went last, closing the door behind them. The house had a TV, a refrigerator, table with four chairs, a kitchen and a pole in the living room. "Welcome to my home". Yuya welcomed Lulu, Rin and Yusei to his home, giving a little bow, making Lulu and Rin giggle a bit.

Suddenly everyone heard a meow and a soft bark, before a brown and white dog and heterochromia white cat came out of nowhere and ran up to Yuya. "Hey En, Core, how are you?" Yuya greeted the dog and cat with a smile as he knelt down and picked the dog up. "Look at how big you've gotten En. You used to be small enough to fit in my hand". Yuya said to the now named En, who barked happily at him.

Yusei, Lulu and Rin all watched Yuya interact with the dog, before they heard another meow, only much closer than before. Lulu cried out in surprise when she felt something grab her left leg, getting her to look down to see that the cat, Core had wrapped its paws around her leg. Lulu gave a small smile as she knelt down and picked up the cat with her hands and held him in front of her.

"Hi there, um… Core". Lulu nervously greeted the cat, still a bit nervous that she was actually holding a cat. She was never really a cat person considering that cats eat birds, and Lulu was more of a bird person, so she didn't have a good relationship with cats. Still, that wouldn't keep her from trying her best to get along with animals.

"Welcome home Yuya". A soft, young and kind voice said, getting everyone's attention as they looked to see an extremely young-looking woman walking up to them. She was a fairly tall and youthful-looking woman of slender built with green eyes and light skin. She had long blond hair, the front bangs being golden in color. Her hair was tied in a ponytail and sections out as spikes. Her bangs part to the right side and framed her face. She was wearing an aqua-colored long-sleeve shirt and blue jeans with brown low shoes. She also had silver big-loop earrings, two golden bands on her left wrist, and a small golden necklace hanging under her neck.

"Hey mum". Yuya greeted his mother with a smile, causing Yusei, Lulu and Rin to widen their eyes in surprise and disbelief. "That's your mother!?" Rin questioned in surprise and disbelief that this beautiful, youth looking woman was Yuya's mother and Yusho's wife. Even Lulu had a look of disbelief, though there was a bit of admiration at how young Yuya's mom looks.

"She's… looks like she's just 20-years-old". Yusei said in surprise, getting the woman's attention as she finally looked at the Shooting Star of Satellite. "Well, aren't you a handsome young man". Yuya's mother said with a smile, making Yusei slightly widen his eyes in surprise. "…thank you… I'm Yusei Fudo; it's nice to meet you". Yusei introduced himself to Yuya's mother with a short bow.

"I'm Yoko Sakaki; it's nice to meet such a handsome gentleman like you". Yoko introduced herself to Yusei, before she looked at Lulu and Rin with the purple haired girl still holding Core in her hands. "…Hello there, you two, what are your names?" Yoko greeted the two teenage girls, surprising Yuya at how calm she was, considering Lulu and Rin had the same face as Zuzu.

"I'm Lulu Obsidian". Lulu introduced herself to Yoko; still displaying a look of a look of admiration at how young she looked, even when she's a mother. "And I'm Rin, Lulu's…sister". Rin introduced herself to Yoko, hesitating a bit since she's still trying to get used to the whole 'sister' thing with Lulu.

"Mum, why are you acting like this isn't something to be surprised at!? Lulu and Rin have the exact same face as Zuzu!" Yuya asked his mother as he placed En down on the ground, wondering why she isn't freaking out at meeting two random girls with the same face as Zuzu. "Simple Yuya, they may look like Zuzu, but they aren't her. They have different hair and eye color, plus Lulu here has long hair". Yoko answered her son as she walked around Lulu, before she started stroking her hair, making the purple haired girl look a bit surprised.

"Not to mention, beautiful hair". The wife of Yusho added with a smile, making Lulu slightly blush a bit from her words. "T-thank you for your kind words, Mrs. Sakaki". Lulu thanked Yoko with a nervous smile on her face as the blond haired woman walked back in front of her. "Y-You're… really beautiful too". Lulu told Yoko with a flushed face, making the older female smile at her. "Thank you dear". Yoko thanked Lulu for her words as she rubbed the 14-year-old's head with her left hand.

"Yoko…" Yusei began to speak, getting Yoko's attention as she turned around to face him. "I have message for you… from your husband". The Shooting Star of Satellite revealed to her, making Yoko widen her eyes in disbelief. Yusei took the letter out of his pocket with his right hand and held it out to her, with Yoko staring at it in disbelief.

Slowly, Yoko took the letter from Yusei, before looking at it in disbelief. At the sight of seeing his mother with her letter, Yuya took his letter out from his pocket and looked at it with emotional eyes. "Yusho asked me to give these letters to you two, saying that they were important". Yusei told Yusho's wife and son, who didn't turn to look at him, instead continued to stare at the two letters in their hands. Lulu placed Core down on the ground, before both the cat and the dog ran off.

Yoko was the first one to open her letter as she tore the seal off of it, revealing the message inside. Yoko took ahold of the message with both her hands and read it carefully.

"Dear Yoko, how are you? I know a casual greeting like that won't make up for the time I've been away from home, or the more time I'll have away from you and Yuya. My actions three years ago have probably caused you and Yuya pain and suffering, I'm sorry for everything. Three years ago, on the day of the champion match, I learned an old friend of mine has been hurting people, taking away their joy and using Dueling as a means to destroy peoples' dreams. I couldn't stay, knowing that my friend was causing suffering, that's why I left to find my friend and try to stop him from hurting anymore people. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be away from you and Yuya, but I promise I'll come home someday. During my time away, I met Yusei, who helped me just as much as I helped him. He's a gifted young man; he gave not only me, but even students I've taken in hope for a better future. Please let him stay at our house for as long as he needs, he can help both You Show and Yuya. I trust him with my life and ask that you trust him as well. Love forever, your husband Yusho Sakaki". Yoko read the letter with tears of joy dripping from her eyes at finally seeing proof that her husband still loved her and their son.

Everyone watched Yoko cry with gentle smiles on their faces, Yuya especially because he's seen the pain his mother has been hiding from his father's disappearance. Yuya looked down at the letter in his hands, unable to find the strength within him to open it and read his father's message to him. Suddenly, Yuya felt a soft hand on his left shoulder, getting him to turn to see that it was Lulu. She gave the son of her teacher a gentle sweet smile as she took her hand off his shoulder, making him blush lightly, but returned the smile.

Finding the resolve, Yuya tore the seal off of it, revealing the message inside. Yuya took ahold of the message with both his hands and read it carefully.

"Dear Yuya, how's things going? I know a simple greeting like that won't make up for the time I've missed with you and your mother, and I'm sorry that I left on the day that I was to duel the Sledgehammer. But I have good reasons for my actions, I promise. I learned that an old friend of mine has been hurting people, taking away their joy and using dueling as a means to destroy peoples' dreams. I couldn't stay, knowing that my friend was causing so much suffering, that's why I left to find my friend and try to stop him from hurting anymore people. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be away from you and your mother, but I promise I'll come home someday. During my time away, I met Yusei, who helped me just as much as I helped him. He's a gifted duelist my son; he gave not only me, but even students I've taken in, hope for a better future. I believe that Yusei can help you grow into your own duelist, he can teach you lessons that I couldn't teach you. Trust Yusei, as I do because he's proven to be a brave person. Yuya, I know my actions caused you great pain and suffering, but I still believe in you. I know you'll become a duelist that I'll be proud of and no matter what happens, I'll never stop believing in you. Love your father, Yusho Sakaki". Yuya read the letter with tears of joy dripping from his eyes at reading the words that his father wrote to him.

Feeling a soft hand on his shoulder again, Yuya turned to see that it was Lulu yet again, only this time she brought him into a hug. Yuya widened his eyes as his face turned bright red, but he nervously returned the hug to the purple haired girl with everyone watching with smiles on their faces.

Yoko turned to face Yusei and gave him a grateful smile on her face. "Thank you for delivering these messages to me and my son". Yoko thanked the Shooting Star of Satellite, who gave her a smile of his own. "Compared to what Yusho's done for me, this is small". Yusei told the kind hearted woman, still feeling like he owes Yusho a lot more, making Yoko chuckle. "I'm sure Yusho would appreciate what you've done for us". Yoko replied to Yusei, before she looked around the room.

She saw Lulu finish her hug with Yuya, who's face was still bright red, before she looked over to Rin, who had a knowing grin on her face as she finally knew what's going on between Yuya and Lulu. "You, Lulu and Rin are welcome to stay here as long as you need". Yoko told the 19-year-old, which he gave her an appreciated smile. "Thank you Yoko, I'll repay your kindness somehow". Yusei replied to the blond haired woman, swearing to repay her kindness somehow.

Back with Yuya, he was looking down to avoid eye contact with Lulu, who looked a bit confused at why he was avoiding eye contact with her. "Did I… do something wrong Yuya?" Lulu asked the tomato haired boy in concern that she did something that she wasn't suppose to, getting Yuya to finally make eye contact with her. "N-no, it's nothing like that. It's just that… I have a lot on my mind". Yuya told Lulu, telling her that she didn't do anything wrong, receiving an understanding look from her.

"I see, but if you need any help, you can always talk to me". Lulu told the tomato haired boy, who smiled at her. "Thanks Lulu". Yuya thanked the purple haired girl for her kind words, who smiled at him. Yuya then went back to looking at his letter, or more exact, certain lines. Yuya continued to stare at his message for a few moments, before he made his decision.

Yuya walked straight up to Yusei, getting the Shooting Star of Satellite's attention as he looked at the younger male. "Is something wrong Yuya?" Yusei asked the younger male, who kept looking down for a few seconds before he finally looked up at Yusei. "I challenge you to a duel, Yusei". Yuya challenged Yusei, surprising everyone while the Shooting Star of Satellite looked interested.

"Why do you want to duel me Yuya?" Yusei asked the younger male, wanting to hear Yuya's reasons on why he wanted to duel him. "…Dad said you could help me just like you helped him. I want to see what he meant when he said you can help me grow into my own duelist. He also mentioned that you can teach me lessons that he couldn't teach me. So please duel me". Yuya explained his reasons for wanting to duel Yusei, receiving an understanding look from him.

"I see. Alright Yuya, I'll duel you". Yusei told the younger boy, getting Yuya to let out an excited smile. "Thank you Yusei". Yuya thanked the Shooting Star of Satellite, who patted him on the head. "Before we duel, I want to ask you one question". Yusei told Yuya, getting the tomato haired boy curious on what he wanted to ask him about.

"What is it?" Yuya questioned the Shooting Star of Satellite, willing to answer whatever his question is. "What is Dueling to you?" Yusei asked the questioned, getting everyone to wonder why he asked that of all things. Like everyone, Yuya was wondering why Yusei asked that, but still answered him. "Dueling is a way to make everyone smile and bring them together. That's the dueling my father taught me, and I want to be just like him". Yuya answered Yusei's question with a smile, before it disappeared when he saw Yusei frown a bit.

"So this is what Yusho meant". Yusei said with his arms crossed, much to the confusion of everyone. "What do you mean?" Yuya asked the Shooting Star of Satellite in confusion, wonder what Yusei meant by that. "Yusho told me that you admired him so much that you wanted to become like him, but that was the problem. He tried to tell you to be your own person, but you never understood what he meant and continued to try to duel like him. He wants you to be your own duelist, so he asked me to help you". Yusei explained not only to Yuya, but to everyone what Yusho asked him to do.

Lulu and Rin had understanding looks on their faces since they were there with Yusei when Yusho asked him this favor. Yoko also had an understanding look her face as well, having discussed the same issue with her husband a few times in the past. The only one that didn't understood was Yuya. "I… don't understand. Why did dad say that? I'm not trying to copy him". Yuya said in confusion after hearing Yusei's words, looking down at his feet.

"That remains to be seen. The best way to find out is to duel you". Yusei told the young 14-year-old boy as he walked up to the front door and opened it, getting Yuya's attention. "Wait, you want to duel right now?" Yuya asked the Shooting Star of Satellite in surprise, getting Lulu and Rin to look at him in surprise, while Yusei looked a bit confused.

"Of course. Why ask that?" Yusei asked Yuya, turning around to face the younger male. "Shouldn't we go to You Show, and then we can have an Action Duel there". Yuya explained to Yusei, much to his, Rin and Lulu's confusion as they have no idea what he's talking about. "Not to be rude or anything, but what is an Action Duel?" Rin asked for her, Yusei and Lulu since this was the first time she's heard of an Action Duel.

Yuya turned to look at her and Rin saw the shock on his face. "You guys don't know what an Action Duel is?" The tomato haired boy asked in disbelief that she, Lulu and Yusei don't know what an Action Duel is. "N-no we don't, Yuya". Lulu answered for Rin with a confused look on her face, getting the tomato haired boy to look at her.

"Could you explain what an Action Duel is?" Lulu asked Yuya with a gentle tone, making him lightly blush. "S-Sure". Yuya answered Lulu, getting her to smile at him while Yusei closed the door. "You might want to take a seat. This could take a while". Yoko advised everyone with a smile, getting everyone to look at her. "She has a point". Rin said in agreement to what the blond haired woman said.

Less than 2 minutes later, everyone was seated on 5 chairs around the table with Yusei, Rin and Lulu sitting together on one side, while Yuya and Yoko were seated on the other side. It was quiet at first, but Yuya was the one to break it. "Action Duels are amazing. In Action Duels, Duelist can duel with their monsters, with the monsters given real bodies". Yuya began to explain, making Yusei slightly widen his eyes, while Lulu and Rin had a bit of fear in their eyes.

Normally the two girls would be amazed, but after seeing the tragedy of the United World and how Z-arc caused destruction with his dragons, the thought of Duel Monsters given real bodies in the real world scared the two a bit. "B-but wouldn't that mean that somebody's in danger?" Lulu questioned in concern, getting Yoko and Yuya to look at her in confusion. "N-no, why would you ask that?" Yoko asked the purple haired girl on why she asked that.

"If the monsters are given real bodies, doesn't that mean that an accident could happen and someone could get hurt?" Lulu answered Yoko's question with her own question, increasing the blond haired woman's confusion. "Get hurt how exactly?" The wife of Yusho Sakaki asked Lulu, getting the purple haired girl to look down to avoid eye contact with her, trying her best to not remember how the duelists of the United World were hurt or killed.

Seeing the look on Lulu's face, Yusei placed his right hand on her head and gave her a comforting rub, getting a thankful smile from her. "She means what if an accident happens and a Duel Monster hurts a Duelist". Yusei explained for Lulu, being careful with his words. "I still don't get what you mean, but nobody gets hurt in an Action Duel". Yuya answered with a confused look on his face.

Both Lulu and Rin sighed in relief at hearing that, confusing Yuya a bit more, before he continued. "In Action Duels, we duel in an Action Field. It's like a Field Spell, but different. An Action Field has what's called Action cards, and Duelists has to run around the field to find them. You can use these Action cards whenever you want, even on your opponent's turn". Yuya continued to explain more about Actions Duels to the three, receiving interested looks from Lulu and Rin, while Yusei narrowed his eyes.

"The only downside is that you can only hold one Action card at a time". Yuya continued on with a smile at seeing the interest in Lulu's eyes. "Action cards can help make the duel more interesting. All the Action cards are random, so you'll never know which one you'll get". Yoko added with a smile as Lulu and Rin grew more excited by the second. "What about normal duels?" Yusei suddenly questioned, getting everyone's attention as they looked at the Shooting Star of Satellite.

"Do people still have normal duels? Or do they just Action Duel?" Yusei questioned one more as he crossed his arms. "Well… people still have normal duels, but it's not as popular as Action Duels, or exciting. Lots of people have organized their decks for Action Duels". Yuya answered Yusei, making the older male narrow his eyes in a dangerous way. "Even you?" The Shooting Star of Satellite asked, receiving a nod from Yuya.

Yusei was silent for a few moments, before he spoke. "As interesting as this Action Duel is, I'd prefer to have a normal duel with you". Yusei told the tomato haired boy, making him look a bit nervous. "Well… I… prefer an Action Duel". Yuya told Yusei, who narrowed his eyes even more at him. "You can't rely on Action cards all the time, that's why we're gonna duel the old fashion way". Yusei told Yuya as he got off his chair and began walking back outside of the house. Yuya had a nervous look on his face, before he noticed Lulu looking at him. Suddenly feeling determined, Yuya got off his chair and went after Yusei.

Half a minute later, everyone was outside the house in the backyard. Yusei and Yuya were standing 10 feet away from them with both males having their Duel Disks attached to their left forearms. Lulu, Rin and Yoko were standing up with the three females watching from the side. "Are you ready for this, Yuya?" Yusei asked the younger male as he brought out his deck and slotted it into his Duel Disk. "You bet!" Yuya answered the Shooting Star of Satellite as he brought out his deck and slotted it into his Duel Disk.

Both decks shuffled, before the blades of the Duel Disks activated. "Remember, this Duel is just for me to see what kind of a Duelist you are, no pressure". Yusei reminded the tomato haired boy, who nodded to him. "I know Yusei, but I'm not going easy". Yuya replied to the Shooting Star of Satellite, who smirked at his words. "Let's Duel!" Yusei and Yuya called out as they drew their starting hand.

Yusei Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.

Yuya Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.

"You can have the first move Yuya". Yusei told the tomato haired boy, who let out a grin. "Don't mind if I do!" Yuya exclaimed with a smirk as he picked a card from his hand, before he placed it on the blade of his Duel Disk. "I Summon Performapal Turn Trooper!" Yuya called out as Performapal Turn Trooper appeared in front of him.

Performapal Turn Trooper ATK Points: 1200/ Level: 4.

Yusei slightly widen his eyes in surprise at seeing Turn Trooper. 'A Performapal monster? Could Yuya be using a deck similar to Yusho's deck?' The Shooting Star of Satellite thought to himself in surprise at seeing Yuya using a similar deck to his father. Like Yusei, Lulu and Rin were surprised as well at seeing Yuya use Performapals.

"Now if a Performapal monster was Summoned, I can Special Summon Performapal Helpprincess!" Yuya explained as he held up the card between his right hand's index and middle fingers, before he placed it on the blade. Appearing in front of Yuya was a female monster humanoid monster wearing purple.

Performapal Helpprincess ATK Points: 1200/ Level: 4.

At the sight of Helpprincess, Rin began giggling, getting both Yoko and Lulu's attention as they looked at her. "What's so funny?" Lulu asked Rin in curiosity, wondering why she was giggling. Rin looked at the purple haired girl with a giggle. "Helppincess looks exactly like you, Lulu". Rin answered her friend, making Lulu to slightly widen her eyes before she looked at Helpprincess.

Indeed both she and Helpprincess looked a little similar, much to her surprise. "I feel a bit envious of you Lulu, having a Duel Monster that looks a lot like you". Yoko said to the purple haired girl, making her slightly blush a bit. "With this, I end my turn! It's your move Yusei, let's liven up our audience!" Yuya declared his turn over with a smile on his face.

Yusei Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.

"I draw". Yusei said as he drew his card with his right hand, taking a moment to look at it, before he placed it on the blade of his Duel Disk. "I Summon Max Warrior!" Yusei called out as Max Warrior appeared in front of him.

Max Warrior ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.

"Now Max Warrior, take out that Turn Trooper!" Yusei commanded his Warrior-Type monster, which Max Warrior obeyed as it jumped high into the air, before diving down towards Turn Trooper with his weapon out. "Turn Trooper's special ability activates! When a monster battles, Turn Trooper gains a counter!" Yuya explained his monster's special ability as an orange aura surrounded Turn Trooper.

Performapal Turn Trooper counters: 0 + 1 = 1.

"Turn Trooper's not the only one that can activate his effect during a battle! When Max Warrior battles an opponent's monster, he gains 400 ATK Points!" Yusei explained his monster's special ability as Max Warrior grew in size a bit.

Max Warrior ATK Points: 1800 + 400 = 2200.

"2200 ATK Points, that's nuts!? Good thing I have Turn Trooper! If Turn Trooper has at least one counter, he can negate an attack!" Yuya exclaimed as Turn Trooper created a force field around himself, blocking Max Warrior's attack, before pushing the Warrior-Type back.

Max Warrior ATK Points: 2200 – 400 = 1800.

"Not bad Yuya. I'll set two face downs and end my turn". Yusei said with a smirk on his face as he held up two cards, before he swiped them into his Duel Disk. Two face downs appeared in front of Yusei, while Max Warrior landed next to the Shooting Star of Satellite.

Yuya Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 3.

"My turn now, I draw!" Yuya called out with a wide smile as he drew his card in a dramatic fashion, holding the card up in the air between his right hand's index and middle fingers. Yuya looked at what he drew, and a wide smile appeared on his field. "Alright, it's here!" Yuya called out in joy, getting Yusei, Lulu and Rin curious on what card he drew.

"He seems excited". Rin stated with her arms crossed, wondering what card made Yuya so happy. "That card must be one of his favorites". Lulu commented with a bit of surprise on her face. Unlike Lulu and Rin, Yoko had a knowing smile on her face, knowing exactly what her son drew.

"Get ready Yusei! I release Performapal Turn Trooper and Performapal Helpprincess…!" Yuya began as Turn Trooper and Helpprincess turned into sparkles and merged together, creating a bright light. "Now put your hands together and welcome... our main attraction! One of the wonders of the dragon world, the spectacular Odd-Eyes Dragon!" Yuya called out as he placed the card on the blade, while the light died down to show his monster. Appearing was one of the dragons that formed the Supreme King Z-ARC, Odd-Eyes Dragon.

Odd-Eyes Dragon ATK Points: 2500/ Level: 7.

Lulu and Rin slightly widen their eyes with a hint of fear in them at the sight of the dragon, while Yusei narrowed his eyes at Odd-Eyes Dragon. 'Odd-Eyes Dragon, one of the four dragons that created the Supreme King Z-Arc'. Yusei thought to himself with narrowed eyes, before he noticed something. He felt no… darkness coming from Odd-Eyes, nor any evil in the dragon.

'I don't sense any darkness or evil in Odd-Eyes, it's like it was never part of Supreme King Z-ARC'. Yusei thought to himself in surprise that he couldn't sense the same darkness he felt from Supreme King Z-ARC coming from Odd-Eyes Dragon. "Odd-Eyes, attack Max Warrior with Spiral Flare!" Yuya commanded his ace monster, which the dragon gave out a cry as it unleashed a dark red beam from its mouth, obliterating Max Warrior. (2500 – 1800 = 700)

Yusei Life Points: 4000 – 700 = 3300.

"Looks like I'm in the lead, Yusei!" Yuya exclaimed with a wide smile on his face, making Yusei smirk at him. "You've got a lot to learn, Yuya. Allow me to show you with the Trap Revival Ticket!" The Shooting Star of Satellite called out as one of his face down cards revealed itself. "At the end of the Battle Phase, if a monster I control was destroyed, by destroying cards equal to the number of monsters that were destroyed, not only does Max Warrior come back, but I gain Life Points equal to the battle damage I took!" Yusei explained his Trap's effect as his second face down was destroyed. "So say hello again to Max Warrior!" The Shooting Star of Satellite exclaimed as a portal appeared next to him and Max Warrior came out.

Max Warrior ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.

Yusei Life Points: 3300 + 700 = 4000.

"No way!" Yuya called out in surprise at how Yusei recovered from his attack. "That's not all! The face down card I destroyed was Limiter Break!" Yusei added as the destroyed face down reappeared and revealed itself. "When this card is sent to the graveyard, it allows me to Summon Speed Warrior!" Yusei explained his Trap's effect as a card slotted out of his deck. Yusei took the card and placed it on his Duel Disk's blade, before a portal appeared and Speed Warrior came out, appearing in a dramatic fashion.

Speed Warrior ATK Points: 900/ Level: 2.

"Oh my, that's quite impressive". Yoko commented with an impressed tone at seeing Yusei not only recover, but better than before. "I expected nothing less from Yusei". Rin remarked with a smile as she watched Yusei with a look of admiration. "Do your best, Yuya, Yusei!" Lulu called out with a smile, encouraging both Yusei and Yuya to do their best.

"I'll play a face down and end my turn". Yuya said as he slotted a card into his Duel Disk, before a face down card appeared in front of him.

Yusei Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 3.

"It's my move now!" Yusei called out as he drew his card in a dramatic fashion, taking a moment to look at it before he held it out. "Check this out! I release Max Warrior to Special Summon Turret Warrior!" Yusei called out as Max Warrior burst into a white light, before Turret Warrior came out of it.

Turret Warrior ATK Points: 1200/ Level: 5.

"When Turret Warrior is Summoned from its effect, it gains ATK Points equal to the monster released to Summon it! Max Warrior had 1800 ATK Points, so Turret Warrior gains 1800!" Yusei explained as a white aura covered Turrent Warrior, powering up the Warrior-Type monster.

Turret Warrior ATK Points: 1200 + 1800 = 3000.

"3000 ATK Points!?" The tomato haired boy called out in surprise at the huge power up. "That's right, but he won't be sticking around for long! Now I Summon the Tuner monster, Nitro Synchron!" Yusei called out as he held the Tuner monster's card out, before he placed it on the blade. A red burst of energy appeared, before it cleared to reveal Nitro Synchron.

Nitro Synchron ATK Points: 300/ Level: 2.

Both Yuya and Yoko widened their eyes in surprise at the sight of Nitro Synchron and at what Yusei said. "That thing's a Tuner Monster!?" Yuya called out in surprise at what he was seeing. "That's right Yuya, and now Nitro Synchro tunes with Turret Warrior!" Yusei called out as the pressure gauge on Nitro Synchro's head went from zero to full, before he transformed into two green rings.

The rings went around Turret Warrior, scanning him with the Warrior-Type monster turning orange transparent, before becoming five lights. A bright beam appeared and consumed the lights and rings. "I Synchro Summon, Nitro Warrior!" The Shooting Star of Satellite called out to the heavens as Nitro Warrior came out of the beam, flying into the air and let out a battle cry.

Nitro Warrior ATK Points: 2800/ Level: 7.

"You can Synchro Summon?!" Yuya called out in surprise at seeing Yusei Synchro Summon, since Synchro users were rare. "Since Nitro Synchron was used as Synchro Material for a Nitro Synchro Monster, I get to draw a card!" Yusei explained as he drew another card from his deck, taking a moment to look at it before he added it to his hand. "Go Nitro Warrior, attack Odd-Eyes Dragon!" Yusei called out as he thrust out his right hand. Nitro Warrior began diving down towards Odd-Eyes, with the dragon looking up at it in surprise.

(Play Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V Yuya's theme)

"Get ready, everyone! I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Hippo Carnival!" Yuya called out as his face down revealed itself. Three sparkles appeared, before three different coloured dancing hippos appeared, making Yusei and Rin slightly widen their eyes, while Lulu giggled at the sight.

Hippo Token DEF Points: 0/ Level: 1.

Hippo Token DEF Points: 0/ Level: 1.

Hippo Token DEF Points: 0/ Level: 1.

"Huh?!" Yusei called out in confusion as Nitro Warrior slammed both his fists into the yellow skin hippo, destroying it. "This Spell Special Summons three Hippo Tokens to my field, and you can only attack them". The tomato haired boy explained his Spell's effect as the remaining two Hippo Tokens continued to dance, much to Lulu's enjoyment. "Well, that's… an effective effect". Rin slowly said, seeing it was a handy effect, but honestly felt a little weird with the appearance.

(Music end)

"That's an impressive strategy Yuya, but it's not perfect". Yusei told Yuya with a smirk on his face, getting the 14-year-old boy confused at what he was saying. "When Nitro Warrior destroys an opponent's monster, its special ability activated! First, Nitro Warriors switches a monster you control from DEF Mode into ATK Mode…!" The Shooting Star of Satellite began to explain as Nitro Warrior swiped his left arm out, blowing a gale of wind at the brown hippo, forcing the token to spin around for 3 seconds, before it stopped with the token having swirly eyes.

Hippo Token ATK Points: 0.

"Then, Nitro Warrior can attack!" Yusei finished, making Yuya widen his eyes in surprise. "A second attack!?" The tomato haired boy called out in surprise that the Synchro Monster can attack again. "Go Dynamic Crunch!" Yusei called out as green energy covered Nitro Warrior's fists, taking the form of its hands. Nitro Warrior then flatten the brown hippo, making it blow up and even sending Yuya flying off the ground. (2800 – 0 = 2800)

Yuya Life Points: 4000 – 2800 = 1200.

Yuya slammed onto the ground from the force of the attack. Yoko looked surprised at how her son lost more than half his Life Points in just one attack. "Talk about no mercy at all". Yoko said in surprise at seeing the one turn slaughter. "That's Yusei for you". Rin remarked with a smile, before she turned around and saw that Lulu was looking at Yuya with a worried look, making her giggle.

"Now Speed Warrior, attack the last Hippo Token!" Yusei commanded Speed Warrior, who obeyed as it took off to the last scared Hippo Token. Speed Warrior spun around, before kicking the Hippo Token in the stomach, destroying the last token. With his task complete, Speed Warrior returned to Yusei's side, while Yuya was on his left knee. "I'll set two face downs and end my turn". Yusei said as he held up two cards, before he swiped them into his Duel Disk with two face downs appearing in front of him.

Yuya Life Points: 1200/ Number of cards in hand: 2.

Yuya breathed heavily as he stood up fully on his feet and held his Duel Disk in front of him, while Yusei didn't seem fazed at all. It was silent for a few moments, before eventually, Yuya spoke. "Yusei... I don't get it. You said you respected my dad's way of dueling, right? Then how are you and I so different?" The 14-year-old questioned the 19-year-old, who chuckled at the questioned. "The reason why is simple. It's because you haven't become the Duelist that you're supposed to be". Yusei answered the younger male, making Yuya and everyone else widen their eyes in surprise.

"W-What do you mean?" Yuya questioned Yusei in confusion, having no idea what the Shooting Star of Satellite meant. "Why do you duel like your father?" Yusei answered with his own question, increasing Yuya's confusion. "I-it's because I want to make everyone happy, just like how my dad made everyone smile". Yuya replied to Yusei, making the 19-year-old chuckle a bit more at his answer.

"Yuya, your father wanted to bring joy to everyone, but he didn't want everyone to duel like him. He wanted Duelists to duel with their hearts, as themselves, not trying to imitate someone else. He wanted to be a mentor to everyone to show that Dueling can be used to bring people together". Yusei began to explain to the young 14-year-old boy, who slightly widened his eyes. "My heart...? What do you mean?" Yuya questioned Yusei, the Shooting Star of Satellite's words affecting him greatly.

"You've Dueled just like how Yusho would duel. But, you're not Yusho Sakaki". Yusei answered Yuya, making him lightly gasped as he began to understand. "I know that in your heart, there is a duelist who will create his own way of Dueling, something that speaks to you. Yuya, the time has come to reclaim your soul!" Yusei exclaimed as he pointed at Yuya with his right hand's index finger, making the 14-year-old's eyes shot open in disbelief.

Yuya felt... lighter now, as if a great weight has been lifted off his shoulders and felt... free. Yuya looked at the cards in his hand, feeling like he was free from a curse he's lived.

"You're right. I'm not Yusho Sakaki; I'm Yuya Sakaki, my own person!" Yuya exclaimed with eyes full of determination, making Yusei smile at him. "Then come and show me your spirit as a Duelist!" Yusei told Yuya as he held up his Duel Disk in front himself, which Yuya nodded. "I'm ready to duel! Starting from here on out, I duel as myself, not like my father!" Yuya exclaimed as he held up his Duel Disk, now full of energy and ready to duel. The two locked eyes with each other, both showing determination. What neither of the two notice was that Yuya's pendant was shining a bit.

"Do your best, Yuya, Yusei!" Lulu called out in encouragement for both Yuya and Yusei with a smile on her face. "And don't forget to have fun!" Rin called out with a smile as well. Yoko kept quiet, but she had a thankful smile on her face. 'Yusei, thank you for helping Yuya find his own way to duel'. The blond haired woman thought to herself with a smile on her face, grateful to the Shooting Star of Satellite.

"I draw!" Yuya cried out as he drew his card in a dramatic fashion, taking a moment to look at it, before he swiped it into his Duel Disk. "I activate the Spell card, Pot of Greed!" The tomato haired boy called out as the Spell appeared in front of him, before a green pot with the face of a greedy man appeared. "This card allows me to draw 2 cards!" Yuya explained his Spell's effect as he drew two more cards from his deck, while the pot shattered.

Yuya looked at the two cards in his hand and smirked at seeing one of them. "Alright Yusei, get ready because things are about to get crazy! I release Odd-Eyes Dragon!" Yuya began as Odd-Eyes Dragon roared, before a bright light covered him. "…To Advance Summon Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon!" The tomato haired boy continued as the bright light cleared to reveal that Odd-Eyes had evolved.

It was bigger now, and even had wings. It had grown horns at the side of its face, its tail even longer than before and the legs had grown bulkier and longer. Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon let out a powerful as it spread its wings, making a dramatic entrance.

Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon ATK Points: 3000/ Level: 8.

"Attaboy Yuya!" Yusei exclaimed with a smirk at seeing Yuya's new way of Dueling, making the tomato haired boy smirk right back at him. "I'm not done yet Yusei! I activate Advance Dragon's special ability! If this card is Tribute Summoned, I can destroy a monster you control and you take damage equal to its original ATK Points!" The 14-year-old boy explained as Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon began gathering energy in its mouth, before unleashing a blackish red beam at Nitro Warrior, destroying the Synchro Monster.

Yusei Life Points: 4000 – 2800 = 1200.

Despite Nitro Warrior's destruction, Yusei remained unfazed. "I reveal my Trap, Synchro Last Will!" Yusei called out as one of his face down card revealed itself, with the image showing three cards shooting out of the destroyed body of Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth.

(Synchro Last Will/ Effect: Trap/ Effect: If a Synchro Monster you control is destroyed, draw one card for every two Levels your destroyed monster has. If you Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster, you can banish this card from the graveyard and draw one card.)

"When a Synchro Monster is destroyed, this Trap allows me to draw 1 card for every 2 Levels that Synchro Monster has! Since Nitro Warrior was Level 7, I get to draw 3 cards!" Yusei explained his Trap's effect as he drew three more cards from his deck and added them to his hand. "It's a real shame you won't get to use them Yusei, Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon attacks Speed Warrior!" Yuya called out as he held out his right hand as Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon began gathering energy in his mouth.

"Not today Yuya, I activate the Trap, Card Defense!" The Shooting Star of Satellite called out as his last face down card revealed itself. "By sending a card from my hand to the graveyard…!" Yusei began to explain as he sent Sonic Warrior's card from his hand to the graveyard. "Your attack is negated!" Yusei continued as a barrier of cards appeared around Speed Warrior.

Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon unleashed its attack, but the barrier of cards protected Speed Warrior, deflecting the Dragon type's attack into the air. "Then I draw a card!" The Shooting Star of Satellite finished as he drew another card from his deck, adding it to his hand. "Aww nuts! I was kinda hoping that face down was a card that negated damage. If Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon had destroyed your monster, it could have brought a Level 5 or higher monster from my hand or graveyard to the field in DEF Mode". Yuya said in disappointment that his plan didn't work.

Yuya looked at the last two cards in his hand, but to his disappointment, they were just monster cards. "I have nothing to do, I'll end my turn here". Yuya declared his turn over, having nothing else to do.

Yusei Life Points: 1200/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

"Not bad Yuya, you've proven to be a Duelist full of potential". Yusei said with an impressed look on his face, making Yuya smile at him. "It's thanks to you Yusei. You've helped me become my own Duelist, and I really owe you for that". The tomato haired boy replied to the older male, making him smile at the 14-year-old boy.

Lulu, Rin and Yoko were also impressed with Yuya's move and with how he almost obtained victory. "Looks like Yuya's tougher than I expected". Rin commented with an impressed look on her face after seeing Yuya's last move. "Yuya's finally found his own duelist, so it's natural that he'd duel better than before". Yoko explained to the green haired girl, getting her to look at the blond haired mother with a curious look on her face. Lulu kept quiet, but she had a proud look on her face.

"It's my move!" Yusei called out as he drew his card with his right hand, before holding it in front of him. Yusei saw that the card he drew was the Spell card, Tuning. 'Tuning, now I can add any Tuner monster from my deck to my hand'. Yusei thought to himself as he looked at the cards in his hand, before he closed his eyes and focused.

In Yusei's mind, Synchro Chase, Speed Warrior, Tuning, Synchron Carrier, Junk Synchron, Sonic Warrior, Boost Warrior, Junk Warrior and Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon's cards all appeared. 'Now I can see the combo to end this duel'. The Shooting Star of Satellite thought to himself as a light green bolt of electricity came out of Tuning, before transferring over to Synchron Carrier, Junk Synchron, Sonic Warrior, Boost Warrior, Synchro Chaser, Junk Warrior and finally to Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon.

(Play Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's Going my Way)

Yusei opened his eyes, which were full of resolve as he held up the Tuning Spell card. "First off, I'll activate the Spell Tuning!" The Shooting Star of Satellite began, before he slotted the card into his Duel Disk with the Spell appearing in front of him. "This Spell allows me to add any Tuner monster from my deck to my hand, but in exchange I have to send cards from my deck to the graveyard, equal to the Tuner monster's level!" Yusei explained his Spell's effect as a card slotted out of his Duel Disk and he picked it up, revealing it to be Junk Synchron.

"And since Junk Synchron is Level 3, three cards are going!" Yusei exclaimed as he drew the top three cards of his deck, seeing that they were Spirit Force, Rush Warrior and Fighting Spirit, before he sent them to the graveyard. Yusei held Junk Synchron's card with his pinkie and ring fingers, while he grabbed another card from his hand from his hand with his index and middle fingers. "Now I Summon Synchron Carrier!" Yusei called out as he placed the card on the blade, while Synchron Carrier appeared on his field.

Synchron Carrier ATK: 0/ Level: 2.

"Thanks to Synchron Carrier's Effect, I'm allowed to Normal Summon a Synchron monster from my hand to the field". Yusei explained as he picked another card from his hand and placed it on the blade. A black portal appeared in front of Yusei with Synchron Carrier dropping its tow from its back into the black portal.

"With Synchron Carrier's effect, I Summon the Tuner Monster, Junk Synchron in ATK Mode!" Yusei called out as Synchron Carrier started pulling its tow up from the black portal, revealing that Junk Synchron was holding onto it the whole time, before the Tuner monster let go of it and floated in front of the Shooting Star of Satellite.

Junk Synchron ATK: 1300/ Level 3.

"Junk Synchro's special ability activates! When he's Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon any Level 2 or below monster in my graveyard! I bring back Sonic Warrior!" Yusei continued to explain as Junk Synchron held out his left hand to the side, before Sonic Warrior reappeared next to the Tuner monster.

Sonic Warrior DEF Points: 0/ Level: 2.

"Now if I control a Tuner monster, I can Special Summon Boost Warrior from my hand!" Yusei called out as he picked a card from his hand and swiped it onto his blade, with Boost Warrior appearing besides Speed Warrior.

Boost Warrior ATK Points: 300/ Level: 1.

"So long as this card remains on the field, all Warrior-Type monsters gains 300 ATK Points! In other words, Junk Synchron, Speed Warrior, Boost Warrior and Sonic Warrior get a power up!" Yusei explained his monster's special ability as a white aura covered Junk Synchron, Boost Warrior, Sonic Warrior and Speed Warrior.

Speed Warrior ATK Points: 900 + 300 = 1200.

Boost Warrior ATK Points: 300 + 300 = 600.

Junk Synchron ATK Points: 1300 + 300 = 1600.

Sonic Warrior ATK Points: 1000 + 300 = 1300.

"Those monsters…" Yoko commented as she noticed that they were all low level monsters. "They're the cards that Yusei uses in all his Duels. No matter how low their ATK Points are… No matter how low their Levels are…" Rin said as she thought back to all of Yusei's duels she's seen. "They're the monsters that Yusei loves and uses! They're his friends that support him no matter what". Lulu said with a smile on her face at seeing how close Yusei was to his cards.

"Now I activate the Continuous Spell card, Synchro Chase!" Yusei called out as he held up the Spell card, before he swiped it into his Duel Disk with the card appearing on his field. "Now Level 3 Junk Synchron tunes with Level 2 Sonic Warrior!" The Shooting Star of Satellite called out as Sonic Warrior took to the skies, while Junk Synchron pulled his lever, causing him to transform into three green rings.

The three rings all flew into the air, while Sonic Warrior flew into them, turning transparent as the three rings scanned him. Sonic Warrior then transformed into two lights that lined up in the three rings, before a beam appeared and consumed the lights and rings, creating a gale of wind that made Yusei's jacket blew in the breeze. "Junk Warrior, let's rev it up!" Yusei called out to the heavens as Junk Warrior came out of the beam and flew up into the air in front of the sun, thrusting his right fist out, making a dramatic entrance.

Junk Warrior ATK Points: 2300 + 300 = 2600/ Level: 5.

"Junk Warrior, Sonic Warrior and Synchro Chaser's effects all activate! First Synchro Chaser allows me to Special Summon back a monster used as Synchro Material for the Synchro Summon of a Warrior, Synchron or Stardust monster, so say hello again to Sonic Warrior!" Yusei explained his Spell's effect as a portal appeared beside him and Sonic Warrior came out.

Sonic Warrior DEF Points: 0/ ATK Points: 1000 + 300 = 1300/ Level: 2.

"Now Sonic Warrior's special ability activates! When Sonic Warrior is used as Synchro Material, all level 2 or lower monsters on my field gains 400 ATK Points!" The Shooting Star of Satellite continued to explain as a ghostly image of Sonic Warrior appeared behind him, before releasing some kind of sound wave at Sonic Warrior, Speed Warrior, Synchron Carrier and Boost Warrior, boosting their power.

Speed Warrior ATK Points: 1200 + 400 = 1600.

Boost Warrior ATK Points: 600 + 400 = 1000.

Synchron Carrier ATK Points: 0 + 400 = 400.

Sonic Warrior ATK Points: 1300 + 400 = 1700.

"And finally Junk Warrior gains the ATK Points of all Level 2 or lower monsters I control!" Yusei finished explaining as light blue auras covered Sonic Warrior, Synchron Carrier, Boost Warrior and Speed Warrior, before they all shot out towards Junk Warrior, causing the Synchro Monster to be covered in a light blue aura. "The power of fellowship!" The Shooting Star of Satellite called out as Junk Warrior powered up big time.

Junk Warrior ATK Points: 2600 + 1700 = 4300 + 400 = 4700 + 1000 = 5700 + 1600 = 7300.

"It's got 7300 ATK Points!?" Yuya called out in disbelief at seeing how high Junk Warrior's ATK Points were now. "Yusei's monsters all worked together to create this new power". Rin commented with wide eyes, also surprised at how powerful Junk Warrior was now. "Amazing…" Lulu said in awe at seeing how Yusei used low level monsters to power up Junk Warrior.

"Let's go Junk Warrior! Scrap Fist!" Yusei called out as Junk Warrior spun into the air in front of the sun, before his boosters went off with the Synchro Monster charging down towards Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon with his right energy covered fist out. Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon unleashed its blackish red blast attack from its mouth at Junk Warrior, but the Synchro monster charged right through with the energy around his fist growing super size, before he latterly flattened Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon, creating an explosion. Yuya cried out as his Life Points dropped. (7300 – 3000 = 4300)

Yuya Life Points: 1200 – 4300 = 0.

Winner: Yusei!

(Music end)

A screen appeared, announcing Yusei's victory, before it and all of Yusei's monsters disappeared. Defeated, Yuya collapsed to his knees with his eyes closed and sighed. The young 14-year-old opened his eyes, only to blink when he saw a hand in front of him, getting him to look up and see that it was Yusei, who gave him a proud smile. "Well done Yuya". Yusei praised the tomato haired boy, surprising Yuya a bit, before he smiled at the Shooting Star of Satellite.

Yuya grabbed hold of Yusei's right hand with his own hand, before the Shooting Star of Satellite pulled the younger male to his feet. "You've begun to walk your true path as a duelist, and you'll grow stronger. The fact that you almost defeated me is proof enough". Yusei told Yuya as he rubbed the tomato haired boy's head with his left hand, making Yuya blush in embarrassment. "T-T-Thank you Yusei". The young boy thanked the Shooting Star of Satellite with an embarrassed smile, before he looked down with a nervous look.

"Hey… Yusei…" Yuya began with a nervous look, getting Yusei curious on why he seemed so nervous. "What is it Yuya?" Yusei asked the young boy, wondering what it is that Yuya wants to ask him. "Could… could you be my teacher?" Yuya asked the Shooting Star of Satellite, making Yusei widen his eyes in surprise. Yusei wasn't the only one, Lulu, Yoko and Rin were all surprised at what Yuya said.

"Be your teacher?" Yusei questioned in confusion at Yuya's words, which the 14-year-old boy nodded to him. "I… want to grow as a Duelist, and as a person. I've just met you, but… I feel like you can teach me so much. I know this may sound weird, but it would mean so much to me". Yuya explained to Yusei why he wants him to be his teacher, getting the Shooting Star of Satellite to smile at him.

Yusei pat Yuya on the head, getting the younger boy to blink in surprise. "Alright Yuya, staring today you're my student". Yusei told the younger boy, getting the tomato haired boy to smile in excitement. Lulu, Rin and Yoko walked up to the two males with the three females smiling at them. "You two did good, well done Yuya". Yoko praised the two males, proud of her son for doing his best. "I admit; I wasn't expecting you to get Yusei's Life Points past 2000". Rin remarked with a smile on her face and her arms crossed.

Lulu walked up to Yuya and gave him a smile. "Even if you lost, you did your best Yuya. I'm proud of you". Lulu told the tomato haired boy with a smile, getting him to blush at her. Before Yuya had the chance to thank Lulu for her words, everyone heard a voice call out to one of them. "Yuya!" A female voice called out, getting everyone's attention as they looked to see Ray's standard piece, Zuzu Boyle running up to them with a worried look, having came through by the house's right side.

"I saw an explosion happen and I got worried that something happened to you! What happened?! Who attac-!" Zuzu began in deep concern, before she stopped dead in her tracks at seeing Lulu and Rin, who were looking at her with slightly wide eyes. It was quiet for a few seconds, before Zuzu broke the silence. "WHAT IN THE WORLD!?" The pink haired female exclaimed in shock and disbelief at seeing Lulu and Rin, making the two smile nervously at her. "Saw this coming". Yuya commented with his hands on his hips, making Yoko giggle and Yusei smile at him.

(Meanwhile in the Leo Institute)

Inside an office like room with a deck and view of Paradise city was a 16-year-old male. He was a thin young man with pale skin and grey hair, the front layer being a lighter grey than the back. His hair was arranged in a simple style, flicking upwards at the ends. He had purple eyes, wore red-framed spectacles. His ears are both pierced with black stud earrings. He was wearing a dark-blue sweater, white pants that end just above his ankles, and white shoes, along with a long red scarf wrapped around his shoulders with the ends trailing to the small of his back.

This young man's name is Declan Akaba, son of Leo Akaba and the younger half brother of Ray. He was currently sitting down on a chair, looking down at a screen that showed pictures of Yusei and Lulu. Earlier today, one of his employers informed him of a powerful Xyz Summon in Paradise City. Declan used the city's cameras to see who it was that released the Xyz energy and saw that it was Lulu.

Declan did some research and found absolutely nothing on her, no background, no profile, no anything except her name. However, just a little bit ago, a powerful Synchro energy was detected in the city. Curious, Declan had his employers do some research and found out that the Synchro energy came from Yusei. Just like with Lulu, he had absolutely nothing on him except his name.

Declan's employers were in disbelief that they had no information about Yusei and Lulu, but Declan had a suspicion on why they don't have any information on them. 'This Lulu Obsidian… could she be from the Xyz Dimension. And this Yusei Fudo… could he be from the Synchro Dimension…' Declan thought to himself as he continued to look down at the images of Yusei and Lulu, wondering if they're allies or enemies of his father, Leo Akaba.

He wouldn't know the answer until a month and two weeks have passed.
