"New outfits, Akira nii-san?" Yuya grinned at my so-called new outfit when he saw me arrived for opening the third round.

I was wearing a black hoodie with long sleeved white shirt as the innerwear, black pants and black shoes. Oh, and also a mask for some 'midnight' party, but I'm not wear that now.

In summary after I explained the situation to the group, I sleep at Yuya's house before leaving in the morning. I'm not watching the rest of second round duels because I need to prepare for this Battle Royale. Like mineral waters, foods, and crispy plums.

Those are a must.

And I also bumped into LDS to equip the carding technology into my duel disk. Yes, I know it's wrong but hey, it's all fair in war. Beside, my purpose to held them until the war is over before uncarded them again.

Oh, and I also adding underrated handtrap: Ghost Sister & Spooky Dogwood. Gain LP when opponent Special Summon monsters, useful for a bit recovering. I wonder why Floren didn't add these handtrap into her Aroma Deck.

"Not really, just changed my vest into hoodie, and everything is just as same. Anyway, you two are ready for 'that', right?" The duo's expression become serious as they both nodded. "Good. Don't forget you two to always together. Don't ever go alone, okay?"

"What about you, nii-san?" Yuya asked.

"I'll do my own thing. Like, drawing attention of the cultists." Also, finding the mole and the sadistic emo boy.

"Yuya! Yuzu! Matsutani-san!" Gongenzaka greeted us. "I, the man Gongenzaka, hoped that in this round, we continue to give our best."

"Always." Especially when your life is at stakes. "You seems so fired up, Gongenzaka."

"Because I am!"

"Everyone, thank you for waiting!" Nico announced. "Right now, a Battle Royale between these 16 competitors will begin!"

Nico then explained about the rules, Pendulum cards that scattered towards the city, you used that as betting chips, yada yada yada, you got the gist of it.

It's like Battle City all over again.

3rd POV - LDS Control Room

So this is your 'recruited' duelists to face against Obelisk Force?" Yuto asked Reiji, who nodded in confirmation.

This morning, Kurosaki contacted Yuto to come into LDS and brought Yugo along with him. After their arrivals, they're both greeted by Reiji and Sora as Reiji told the plan to both of them.

"Indeed. Those are the best duelists that qualified to the top 16, including your partner." Reiji explained. "You, Yugo, Shiunin and several duelists would be a back-up duelists to help."

"Still, can we trust him?" Yuto glared at Sora. "He's the Academia's spy, even though Matsutani-san said that he betrayed Academia, there's still a chance-"

"Don't need to worry, Xyz duelist." Sora cut him off. "It's impossible for me to betray the Lancers. The reason is because Academia targeted Yuzu and the world will end if they got her, and last, Matsutani already had me on his palm."

"What the heck does that even mean?" Yugo said in confusion.

"No need to thinking about that." Reiji replied. "What matter is Shiunin wouldn't betray us."

Yuto just nodded as he look at the participants in curious. His eyes then darted at Matsutani Akira. He wonders what kind of plan he prepared for Obelisk Force.

Matsutani POV

"Duel disk on! Duelist locked in a battle! Kicking the earth and dancing in the air with their monsters! They storm through the field! Behold! This is the greatest evolution of dueling! Action-"

"Duel!"

With that, the whole city being enveloped by Action Field as every participants began sprinting into the city.

The hunt is on.

A While Later

Right, the first thing I do in this Battle Royale is search for Pendulum cards. Thank god the whole environment literally an Solid Vision so I can order some of my monsters to take the Pendulum cards without need of climbing or swimming or anything that can drain my energy.

Because of this, I had total four Pendulum cards on my hand.

"How lazy of you, Cunning boy." More like work smarter, Yubel. "Yeah, whatever. Anyway, just walk straight and you can meet the cultist that called 'Obelisk' Force."

"Got it." No need to be rush since they would find me themselves so I just walk so casually while listening music on my earphone.

The same streets, but I'm all alone

The same house, but nobody's home

Stone-cold, and I fade in the afterglow

Caught in the upside down

Careful in the clouds, monsters all around

Can't find my way out

Caught in the upside down

Screaming with no sound

Sinking underground

Can't find my way out

Caught in the upside down

"Oh, look what we found here."

Oh, already? I literally haven't dueled any participants yet instead I dueled these cultists as my first opponent.

"Sup, gentlemen. You seems appears to be the intruder from another dimension, so...looks like you'd first one to be killed by me."

The fact that I let out the same smile that I showed to Sora at the first round make them startled. Seeing that I was a threat, they immediately activate their duel disks.

I merely doing the same and the duel is on.

Duel!

"Oops, I forgot to tell you that as long as I control Evilswarm Ophion, you cannot Special Summon monsters with Level 5 or above." I beamed. "Thus, please enjoy your duel without Fusion."

"How?! You cannot activated spell/trap card when Ancient Gear monster battles!" Obelisk 2 yelled.

"It's sad that you don't even know your own monster's effect." Yugioh player in the nutshell. "Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Chimera is one of the Ancient Gears that doesn't have such effect. In short, it was a failure, just like you three. Next, my second trap: Wonder Xyz. With this, I can immediately Xyz summon using monsters on my field as materials. Kerykeion, Orochi, overlay!"

As both Kerykeion and Orochi entered the galaxy portal, I chanted. "The mighty guardian of the ancient tree! Resonating with these lingering souls, and become my absolute servant! Charge forward and eradicate everything! Xyz Summon! Come forth, Rank 4! Evilswarm Nemea!"

I activate Ophion's effect to add "Infestation" Spell/Trap card from my deck into my hand. I add Infestation Reanimation."

Evilswarm Bahamut (ATK 2350 - 2950)

"This guy..." "He can't be from Standard!" Obelisk 1 and 3 yelled in fear.

"I'm from Xyz Dimension. I was being ordered by Shiunin Sora to defeat all of you." I ate my crispy plum. "I activate Bahamut's effect. By detach one overlay unit and discard one "lswarm" monster, I can target and take control one monster my opponent control, and I'll take control your Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Chimera."

"What?!" Obelisk 2 could only stared in horror as he saw his monster betrayed him.

Evilswarm Bahamut (OVU 2 -1)

Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Chimera (ATK 2300/DEF 1300/Machine/Earth/Effect/LV 6)

"That's the wrap." I smiled as I approached them while rising my Duel Disk, those three was tremble in fear. "Now, ready to taste your own medicine?"

"W-Wait-" Before those three could plead, a purple light enveloped them and in instant, they turned into cards.

"That's karma for ya. Don't worry though, it's only temporary." I picked the cards and continue walking at the arena. After a few minutes, I met Yuya and Yuzu who had just beat the Ryozanpaku duo in tag team duel.

"Akira nii-san!" "Matsutani-san!" Yuya and Yuzu ran up to me.

"Sup guys." I greeted them with a smile. "I see you had just beat your opponents."

"Yep. So far so good." Yuya nodded. "We had three Pendulum cards ourselves. How about you?"

"Four, and I haven't dueled any participants yet." I answered. "My first duel is facing the invaders. Unlucky me..."

"Wait...they are here already?!" Yuzu gasped.

"Yep, if you turned around-" I pointed at group of Obelisk Force that consist of six people approaching us with that sinister smiles. "-here they are."

"So this is the Academia soldiers...their uniform is definitely like Sora's, but what's up with that mask?" Yuya wondered.

"They are such a bunch of weirdoes for wearing a mask like that, and I am the main target of these weirdoes." Sad to be you, Yuzu. Sad to be you. "Whoever designed that mask need to be fired immediately."

"Hey! Isn't that girl looks like the one professor wants?" He probably refers Serena, but Yuzu is on the list too, so whoever being capture by them, that pedo would be happy either way.

"And that white-haired guy! He's the Xyz scum that worked with that traitor!" Oh, he's the one who I beat with Yuto that night.

"What a luck!"

"Our target and Xyz scum in one place?"

"This must be our lucky day!"

"Yeah, yeah, let's get over it already." I activated my duel disk as I look at Yuya and Yuzu. "Mind giving me some help?"

"Of course." "Let show them the power of Standard Dimension."

And with that, our duel started.

Matsutani: 4000 LP -> 2200 LP

"Seriously, could you do something other than "I Summon Ancient Gear Hunting Hound" bullshit? It's started to get tiring, and annoying." Purposely saying it out loud to irritate them.

"Make Bloom Diva attack last, it would be useful in case unexpected interruption happened." I told Yuzu, who nodded.

"You think your junk robot can stop me? Bloom Diva, attack Ancient Gear Golem!"

"You attacking my 3000 Attack Golem with your 1000 Attack Fusion monster?!" Obelisk 5 said in confusion.

"Bloom Diva cannot be destroyed by battle, and I take no battle damage from battle involving her." Yuzu said in flat tone. "As for you, your junk robot would be destroyed and you'll take damage equal to the Attack difference between your Golem and my Diva, that means 2000 damage."

"Phew, now all is done..." I approached them as I raised my duel disk. They knew what I was gonna do, that's why they shivering in fear. "...you all need a good rest. Good night, bastards."

A purple light enveloped all of them as they turned into a bunch of cards. Yuya and Yuzu were shocked as this is the first time they see people turned into cards.

"I know it was wrong, but this is the only way we can do to prevent them coming again and again." I told the pair. "Don't worry, this is just temporary. They'll back after war ended."

"Right..." Yuya nodded. "It's just...too shocking for me. All of this, it's unreal. To think all of this is just because some weird pedophilia guy try to kidnapped teenage girls with the same face..."

"I feel the same, Yuya." Yuzu patted him on the shoulder. "All of this is unreal, but we need to go through it. We definitely can stop this nonsense, and the peaceful lifes will surely come upon us again."

"Damn, that was smooth." I whistled. "Alright, enough with the sappy shit. It appears we will face the round 2...and this time we will face double than before."

There's 12 Obelisk Force approaching us, but thank god when the situation became tight, reinforcement arrives.

"It appears you guys trapped in some kind of trouble." Yes, it's none other than Sora. "In that case, do you mind if I help you?"

"Not at all." Yuzu said with a smile. "Glad to see you again, Sora. After I heard everything from Yuya, I couldn't help but worry about you."

Yuya nodded in confirmation and Sora is on a edge of crying. I just gave him a 'Told you' look. After that, we focused our attentions back at Obelisk Force as we charges at them.

Duel!

To Be Continued.
