03x18 - Grip of the Parasite

[bunniefuu]

Sorry...

I was actually planning on coming to save you sooner...

But I thought achieving our dream of winning the Friendship Cup came first, so...

Enough, I don't care about all of that nonense.

Duel me here, right now.

Shun!

Edo?

Why are you guys here?

Edo helped me out in a pinch.

And when I heard that you and Yuuya were headed to Academia,

I came after you!

He insisted that he wanted to save his little sister with his own hands.

I heard from Edo that Ruri is at the top of this tower.

Kaito, what happened up there?

I was pushed down here...

By Ruri.

What?!

Your sister, has changed.

That's impossible!

Ruri!

Wait! It's dangerous!

Your sister might be being manipulated!

Manipulated?

Yeah, I've heard rumors about it...

There's a Duelist working with the Professor with an ability to manipulate people.

If Ruri is under his control, then....

Is the same thing happening at the East Tower?!

Edo!

There should be a guy named Yuugo at the East Tower.

Tell Yuugo the truth, Edo.

I'll go after Shun!

Four worlds split into four dimensions,

In those worlds, four young men with the same face...

And the dragons they control call out to each other.

As if they are seeking each other.

A sea of despair, A closing door.

Nowhere to go, a fading light.

The sweet whispers of the darkness.

Emotions torn between conflicting ideals.

I don't know which one to choose!

Even if I try to push my way through with force,

What will it even change?

No matter what I do, I can't I can't move.

Connecting, bonding, the sound of love, individual worlds,

Embrace karma, you cannot escape because...

Only I can overcome myself!

Hatred is not what will create our tomorrow.

Smiles are what make people stronger!

Divide the darkness and press forward.

When you are struggling is the time to smile!

I do believe in myself.

I believe!

It's starting! Showtime!

The cold eyes of Rin, as she is controlled by someone...

The cold eyes of Rin, as she is controlled by someone...

Bring back the real Rin with this Duel!!

Bring back the real Rin with this Duel!!

The Sinister Bell's Chime

That hurt...!

What was that all of the sudden!?

Oh crap!

What have you done!?

Of all the things you'd push me onto our precious D-Wheel!

Oh man, I hope there aren't any scratches on it...

Enough of that...

Duel me.

What was that?!

Did you forget the feelings we put into this D-Wheel?!

We couldn't buy a D-Wheel, so we decided to make one from scratch!

We studied together a bunch, saved up what little money we had and slowly bought parts!

Then put it together piece by piece!

We swore we'd enter the Friendship Cup together with this win it and aim to be the greatest Duelists!

Remember, Rin!

And so what?

Duel me, now.

Fine, I get it!

We always settled our arguments through Duels anyways.

If you want to go at it that badly, I'll take you on!

DUEL!

I'll go first.

I activate the Magic Card: Wind-Calling Bell Chime!

Using its effect, I can Special Summon a monster with the same name as "Wind Witch Ice Veil" from my Deck.

And I Normal Summon Ice Veil from my hand!

The turn these monsters are Summoned, I can deal damage to my opponent!

I activate the first of their effects!

And next the second one!

That's cold!

I've felt that Ice Veil effect plenty of times since we were kids, but...

Today it feels like it's chilling me down to my bones!

When I control two "Wind Witch" monsters, I can Special Summon the Tuner monster, Wind Witch Snowbell!

I Tune my two Ice Veils with my Level Snowbell!

Midwinter wind...

Harness ice and snow,

and blow a storm!

Synchro Summon!

Come forth!

Level !

Wind Witch Winter Bell!

I activate Winter Bell's monster effect!

Once per turn, I target one Level or lower Wind Witch in my Graveyard,

And activate its effect!

I target Ice Veil and deal damage to my opponent!

I set one card and end my turn.

Now, it's your turn.

And just for you let's fight on a stage you excel it!

Follow me!

Wait Rin! Where are you going?!

Something is odd...

She normally wouldn't ignore me like this...

She's got this weird expression on her face, too...

And that Duel Disk she's using...!

It can't be... Academia did something to her when they kidnapped her?!

damage right from the start...

Ruthless as always...

In order to find out if they did something to her or not,

I have to win this Duel!

My turn!

I Summon Speed Roid Bamboo Horse from my hand!

And using Bamboo Horse's effect, I Special Summon my Tuner Monster Speed Roid Three-Eyed Dice from my hand!

I Tune my level Bamboo Horse with my Level Three-Eyed Dice!

Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings,

And strike down our enemies at lightspeed!

Synchro Summon!

Come forth!

Level !

Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!

Look Rin, it's your favorite card, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!

You loved watching it fly more than anything!

You're the one who said we'd win the championship for sure with it!

Rin!

Trap Activate: Bewildering Wind!

I negate Clear Wing Synchro Dragon's monster effect, and cut its in half!

You! You're reducing Clear Wing to this...!

Why?!

Because its an eyesore!

The parasite monster that I developed takes root in the host player's brain.

It then takes the memories storied there and analyzes them.

Defeating someone like you, who has such a deep connection with its host, will be child's play.

What do you think, sir?

This Parasite Monster also is programmed to have the host swear fealty to you Professor.

I will admit your research has proven to be successful, Doctor.

But those girls are key pieces to the ARC Area Project.

I will not approve of you causing any harm to them.

It's because they are such important tools that I have given them the abilities to protect themselves.

Worry not, my Parasite Monster is perfect!

What?

Your father is?

Yes...

My father is heading towards Academia to negotiate with the Professor.

We were on our way to catching up to him too.

But why is your Dad going to Academia again?

That is most likely because he is thinking to fulfill the promise he made to me three years ago...

Promise?

What do you mean?

Three years ago, I snuck into Academia on my own.

What?!

There, I learned that Akaba Leo was trying to rule over the Dimensions with the power of Dueling.

In order to prevent that I asked your father for his assistance.

My father?

And he, without telling anyone, went into the dimensional transfer device and disappeared.

I see...

Just like back then, my father did the same thing.

That's why he went to the Professor...

And three years ago Akaba Leo and I met a certain girl...

A certain girl?

That was Selena.

And three years later, when I saw you and Hiiragi Yuzu, Yuuya...

It brought back a specific memory of mine.

Memory?

What was it?

Inside if of Akaba Leo's laboratory, Revival Zero.

Revival Zero?

The resurrection of Zero?

Returning to Zero?

What could it mean?

Unfortunately, I still don't fully understand what it means either.

In that folder was files on two people only.

Two people?

One of them was Selena,

And the other was...

Was...?

The other was a boy named Yuuri.

Yes, the one you met from the Fusion Dimension...

A boy who has the same face as you.

So that means...!

It means your hypothesis that the of you and the girls with the same faces have something to do with the ARC Area Project was correct.

Revival Zero.

This definitely is a key portion to Akaba Leo's plans.

Now that Yuuri's existence is confirmed a part of it, it can't be denied that you are a part of it as well, Yuuya.

I'm...?

A part of Academia's plan?

It can't be... we're-!

But based on how they've acted up until now, only Yuuri has been making moves towards it in secret.

It would be fine if this was just me overthinking things, but...

If we view Akaba Leo successfully capturing the four girls meaning his plan is nearing completion,

It wouldn't be strange if he made moves towards us after.

You Lancers must always believe in the power of your comrades,

And fight your way through this.

I don't know what Academia did to you while they had you captured but...

Right now, you're not the Rin I know!

If you really have forgotten about me, then I'll make you remember!

With my Dueling!

I set one card and end my turn!

Make you remember?

Do it if you can!

My turn!

Battle! I att*ck Clear Wing Synchro Dragon with Wind Witch Winter Bell!

I banish the Three-Eyed Dice from my Graveyard and negate the att*ck!

I already knew you'd do that!

With Winter Bell as my target. I activate the Quick-Play Magic: Wind Witch's Calling Voice from my hand!

I Special Summon a monster that is a lower level than the targeted monster from my hand!

The monster I call out for is Parasite Fusioner!

What is that creepy thing!?

Did Rin ever have that monster?!

When Parasite Fusioner is Special Summoned, I can perform a Fusion Summon using this card as material without a Fusion Card.

What?!

Fusion!?

I fuse Wind Witch Winterball and Parasite Fusioner!

The wind chimes as it churns through a winter tundra...

...becoming one with the inner voice,

and echo even louder!

Fusion Summon!

Come forth!

Beautifully ringing crystal bell!

Wind Witch Crystal Bell!

Rin Summoned a Fusion Monster?!

When Parasite Fusioner is used as Fusion Material, it becomes an Equip Card to the Fusion Summoned monster!

Rin!

Have you really joined Academia?!

That's correct.

Right now Rin is fighting of her own will for the sake of Academia.

The Rin you know is no longer here.

Battle!

I att*ck Clear Wing Synchro Dragon with Clear Bell!

Our...

Rin and my D-Wheel....

What's wrong?

Stand up already.

The Duel isn't over yet.

You!

Did you really forget?!

The dreams we put into this D-Wheel?!

The hope... our future...!

Remember!

The feelings we had back then...

When we were both chasing after our dreams!

Rin!

I activate Crystal Bell's effect.

I target one monster in the Graveyard and use its effect!

I target Ice Bell, and deal damage to my opponent!

You only have remaining LP.

I am unharmed.

You cannot use your D-Wheel anymore either.

It should be clear you don't have a chance to win.

Now, hurry up and surrender.

Surrender?!

Those words will never leave my mouth!

Sorry but I'm... bad at giving up!

That's why I've gone across dimensions searching for you...

I finally met you...

There's no way I'd give up in a place like this!

No matter what, I'll return you to normal!

Rin!

Now, hurry up and end your turn!

Next is my turn!

I end my turn.

You truly are a boy that doesn't know when to give up...

What could you do when you're this cornered?

My turn!

It's here

I Summon the Tuner Monster Red-Eye Dice!

And with the Level Crystal Bell as a target I activate the Magic Card: Step on Shadow!

I Special Summon and Extra Deck monster lower Level than it from my Graveyard with its effect negated!

The monster I'm bringing back is Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!

I Tune my Level Clear Wing Synchro Dragon with my Level Red-Eye Dice!

Flash your sacred wings of light,

and strike down our enemies with your brilliance!

Synchro Summon!

Come forth!

Level !

Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!

Battle!

Go! Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!

When Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon battles a Level or higher monster, it gains that monster's !

Fusion Monsters don't suit you, Rin!

I crush that imitation crystal right now!

These are my true crystal wings!

I activate Crystal Bell's effect.

I select a monster from either of our Graveyards and activate its effect as if it was Crytal Bell's until the End Phase.

I monster I choose is...

Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!

What?!

Under its effect when a Level or greater monster activates its effect it is negated and that monster is destroyed!

I don't think so!

Crystal Wing negates Clear Wing Dragon's effect and destroys it!

Then I will send the Parasite Fusioner equipped to Crystal Bell to my Graveyard,

And negate its destruction!

Then I'll att*ck Crystal Bell!

Rin!

Are you okay, Rin!?

Hey! Snap out of it Rin!

Hey, open your eyes please, Rin!

Hey!

Rin!

Yuu... go...

You're back...

To the real Rin...

Rin!

Rin!

When Crystal Bell is destroyed, Winter Bell and Parasite Fusioner as Special Summoned from my Graveyard.

Rin!

And... with Parasite Fusioner's effect, these two can Fuse and call back Crystal Bell.

Parasite Fusioner becomes its Equip Card again.

No! Why?!

Sorry but my Parasite Fusioner doesn't give up easily, just like yourself.

No... even more than you!

It's that thing!

That monster that's fused with Rin's monster!

It's because of that bug Rin is...!

I activate Crystal Bell's monster effect.

I activate the effect of Ice Bell in my Graveyard and deal damage to my opponent.

Rin!

Well done, Rin.

Now come back, the Professor is waiting for you.

Selena!

What's wrong with you?!

You fought with us Lancers in the City...

The Lancers was just a delusion...

All I do is for the Professor.

Selena...

Are we really going up this!?

Yeah, coming from the harbor, this is the closest route to the Professor's lab.

So instead of taking a detour we're diving straight into the enemies base?

Sounds fun!

Yuzu... Dad...

All right, let's go!

Yeah!

Don't do that, don't hide your tears, pierrot. Don't lie to your emotions.

Days when you fail over and over, every time you're about to give in, you cover it up with a smile.

We can't give up because we have a plan of the future, the dice have already been cast.

What are you drawing in your conflict? A vision I've painted all by myself.

Don't do that, don't repeat your mistakes! Saying it's impossible is just an excuse!

It's not a lie. Your smile is what has given me strength time and time again.

You are the vision I've drawn.
