"Hey, instead of resisting to the end, how about surrendering directly? You'll suffer less before we turn you into cards." The silver-haired woman looked at the retreating Spade Academy duelists and spoke casually. "Or do you think your runaway chiefs will come back to save you?"
"You're awfully arrogant in our dimension. Do you want to be turned into a card?" Just as the two sisters were dominating the Spade Academy, a voice rang out.
"Who's there?" The twin sisters followed the voice, and on the ruins of a nearby building, a man with a red ribbon around his waist looked at them with a grim expression. It was Yuji, who had infiltrated under cover of darkness.
"Well, well, look who it is?" The blonde twin sister looked at the newcomer and sneered. "The chief of Heartland Academy?"
"Originally, it was your turn after Spade Academy was destroyed, but you couldn't wait to come and die?" the silver-haired sister sneered.
"Besides, if we deal with you here, destroying Heartland Academy afterward will be much easier."
The two sisters activated their duel disks together.
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" Yuji sneered.
"Say whatever you want. Our duel disk is designed for tag duels. There are so many people here - surely you can find a tag partner?" said the blonde sister, Gloria.
Yuji glanced at the demoralized Spade Academy duelists around him and frowned. This group had basically lost all fighting spirit - partnering with them would be worse than dueling alone.
However, just as Yuji was about to face them two-on-one, a cold voice sounded from the camp: "Then, how about I be his partner?"
Yuji followed the voice, and from the shadows of the camp, a blonde man slowly emerged and activated his duel disk.
The man's right arm bore a red ribbon representing the Resistance. He wore a black windbreaker and a black headpiece holding his short blonde hair in place. The figure walking out of the shadows radiated intimidation.
"Why are you here?" Yuji frowned. The newcomer was none other than Tenjo Kaito, one of the four academy chiefs like himself.
"Don't misunderstand. I'm just here to repay a favor to that guy Yuto, and incidentally..." Kaito looked at the Tyler sisters, "to take care of a few barking dogs."
"What, are you afraid? If you're scared, step aside. I can handle them alone." Kaito said coldly.
"Afraid? How could I be? If I were afraid, I wouldn't have come here at all." Yuji shrugged and activated his duel disk after Kaito reached his side.
"Hmph, if we keep both of you here, the remaining stragglers in this dimension will be nothing to worry about. The academy will surely reward us sisters handsomely." Grace said.
"Duel!" ×4
"Great! Makoto, support from Heartland and Clover has arrived!" A girl rushed into the command post excitedly.
"Really?" The boy named Makoto's eyes brightened. "Who came?"
"It's Brother Yuji and Brother Kaito! Their duel with the twins has just begun!" The girl said excitedly. "We're saved!"
"Yoko, go gather the troops. We're preparing to break out." The boy known as Makoto said calmly.
"Now it's up to Brother Yuji and Brother Kaito. As long as they can defeat the twins, the remaining foot soldiers can't stop us at all." Makoto said, running toward the duel.
...
"I'll go first!" After drawing his card, Yuji's duel disk indicated the first turn.
"My turn!"
"I summon [Gagaga Sister] in attack position!"
"When [Gagaga Sister] is successfully summoned, I can add 1 'Gagaga' Spell/Trap card from my deck to my hand."
"I'll add the spell card [Gagagawind] to my hand!"
"I activate the Spell Card [Gagagawind]! I can Special Summon 1 'Gagaga' monster from my hand, and the monster Special Summoned by this effect becomes Level 4."
"I Special Summon [Gagaga Magician]!"
"Another effect of [Gagaga Sister] - I target 1 'Gagaga' monster on my field other than this card. That monster and this card become the combined Levels of those two until the end of turn."
[Gagaga Sister] LV: 2→6
[Gagaga Magician] LV: 4→6
"I overlay [Gagaga Sister] and [Gagaga Magician], both now Level 6!"
Yuji pointed to the sky with his right hand, and a huge galaxy vortex appeared above. After the two monsters transformed into golden orbs and entered the vortex, a dazzling golden light flashed.
"Swift Warrior of Light, come forth and protect everything behind me!"
"Xyz Summon! Rank 6, [Photon Strike Bounzer]!"
As Yuji's voice fell, the heavily armored warrior in red armor descended from the aerial vortex like a guardian light, landing heavily and raising a large cloud of dust.
[Photon Strike Bounzer] ATK: 2700
"I set two cards. Turn end."
Yuji ended his turn, but Kaito frowned, thinking: "When did this guy change his deck?"
"My turn! Draw!" The elder sister Gloria took over from Yuji.
"I summon [Amazoness Princess] in attack position!"
"When [Amazoness Princess] is successfully summoned, I can add 1 'Amazoness' Spell/Trap card from my deck to my hand!"
On Gloria's field, a female warrior wearing animal skins appeared and brandished her short spear.
"An Amazoness deck? It would be terrible if you retrieved that troublesome trap card here. So, at this moment, I activate [Photon Strike Bounzer]'s effect!"
"When an opponent's monster effect activates, I can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to negate that effect and inflict 1000 damage to my opponent! Photon Reflection!"
The fiery red armor of the heavily armored warrior before Yuji shone with dazzling light that swept toward the opponent's field.
Gloria/Grace LP: 4000 → 3000
"Tch, such an annoying effect?" After the light dissipated, Gloria lowered her hand that had been blocking the light and spoke through gritted teeth.
"Then, I activate the spell card [Polymerization]! Since [Amazoness Princess] on my field is also treated as [Amazoness Queen] while on the field, I fuse [Amazoness Princess] treated as [Amazoness Queen] on my field with [Amazoness Swords Woman] in my hand!"
"Queen of the dense forest, absorb the power of brave swordswomen and build an empire that rules everything! Fusion Summon!"
Gloria clasped her hands before her chest, and a huge black vortex emerged behind her. From the vortex, a warrior wearing a scarlet cloak and wielding a huge bone blade appeared domineeringly!
"Appear! Level 8! [Amazoness Empress]!"
[Amazoness Empress] ATK: 2800
"[Amazoness Empress] attacks [Photon Strike Bounzer]!"
The empress waved her cloak behind her, leaped before the red armored warrior and slashed down with her blade. The guardian on Yuji's field was cut in half, and the strong wind from the sword forced Yuji and Kaito back two steps.
Yuji/Kaito LP: 4000→3900
