"What? Shark is in the hospital because of Jake!? That jerk!" Violet said, now being informed from Rio.
"Yeah. Poor Reginald has been in the hospital for about a week now." Rio frowned.
"Really? I'm so sorry." Violet felt bad. Tori saw that her blue-haired friend looked sad and had an attempt to cheer her up. "Come on, Rio, cheer up. I know what will make you feel better." she smiled at her. "How about we go with you to the store to get flowers? After all...I just know that your brother will like the flowers...since they'll be from you."
Rio looked down, showing that she was thinking about what Tori said. Tori put her hand on the top of Rio's shoulder, "So...What do you say?"
"Um..Sure, Tori." Rio grinned.
Violet and Tori were going to go the store with Rio, on their way to school, to get flowers for Shark.
But, something unexpected happen...They all fell through some mysterious portals that appeared out of nowhere. "AHHHH!"
Luckily, Ray and Yuma were near by and had witnessed what happened. "Oh no! Tori and the others just vanished out of nowhere! We have to get them...back!"
"The thing is..we don't know where they are...Yuma." Ray said.
"You're right but we still have to--AHHHH!" Yuma fell through a portal too.
"No! Yu--" Ray had seen him fall and he went after him. "YUMA!"
~~~~~
"OOF!" Yuma had a face plant on the floor, when he fell down. Ray was next to him. "Yuma! Are you okay?"
Yuma's eyes were watery from the physical pain that he felt. "Yeah..I'm... just peachy." he sweat dropped. "But, the thing is..where are we at?"
"I don't know." Ray had his back turned to Yuma, as he faced the opposite direction. "But..something tells me that we're not at Heartland City....anymore."
"What makes you say that?"
"Just take a look around."
Yuma got up and looked around with his cherry-red eyes. He gasped. "You're right. This doesn't look like we're on Earth anymore. I think we're in a dimension. But then...The question is..Who took us here?"
"I took you here, Yuma Tsukumo!" a voice shouted and by the look in Yuma's eyes...he recognized the person who was talking. "J-Jake!?" he turned around.
"Hahaha! I've been waiting for you, Yuma." Jake Greens said.
"So you're the one who took us here!" Yuma pointed to him.
"Yes I did. And I've been waiting... So that I can duel you!"
"Duel me? Fine, I--"
"And I also have your friends too." Jake snapped his fingers and a giant cage with prisoners appeared. The three girls were in there.
"Yuma!" Tori yelled. "Please save us!"
Seeing his friends in a prison, made Yuma's blood boil. "I'll save you girls." he made a fist with his hand. "And I accept your challenge, Jake. But...if I win...you have to release my friends and have to return us back home."
Jake put his duel gazer on. "And if I win..all of you will remain here...forever."
~~~~~
"Where are we, anyways?" Yuma said.
"We're not in a dimension. We're actually in a time travel loop."
"Time travel loop? How is that possible? Then that means--you're not from here? What does this even mean?"
"It means that I'm going to come clean to you. I'm not really the son of the family who created duel gazers..that was just a cover-up."
"A cover-up? But for what purpose?"
"I'm actually from a different time line in the past, before your time ever started. I'm from Neo Domino City."
"What!? Domino City!?" Yuma was shocked. "That's the city where dueling was invented at in the very beginning."
"Exactly... I end my turn."
~~~~~
The duel was almost getting to a close. Jake Greens had more life points than Yuma Tsukumo had. "Hahahaha! You say that you're going to win this duel but you only have one life point left!"
Yuma looked a bit nervous, but he was still confident on not wanting to lose. "Even if you have more life points than me..that doesn't mean, that I will lose right away. I can win, if I put my mind to it. And every life point in a duel matters, not matter how big or small..'Cause, you just might win..when you think it's all over."
"Oh wow.." Jake laughed. "A duel is just a duel."
"Not for me..it isn't!" Yuma said. He drew a card. "I draw!" he looked at his card and smiled when he looked at it. He used a spell card and he summoned his Gagaga Magician to the field. He told his duel monster to attack Jake directly. Then, Jake lost his life points and fell back, he had underestimated Yuma's chances of winning.
Yuma ran to Jake. "Are you okay? Do you need a lift?" he put his hand out to him, seeing if he would take it or not.
"I'm fine." Jake refused to take the hand that he had offered and instead..got up himself.
"Tell me. What was your true plan..? On why you came to my time line." Yuma asked.
"I came here because.. I wanted to make sure that you ceased to exist, Yuma."
Yuma's eyes widened. "Why!? Me!?"
"I-I..." Jake closed his eyes and chuckled. "Don't know. Maybe it's the fact that you're a.. different duelist. One that I've never seen... You kinda remind me of someone from my time," Yuma reminded him of Yusei Fudo.
"Really? Thanks?"
Jake snapped his fingers and the cage opened up, letting the girls escape. He then looked at Yuma and at his friends. "I'm sorry for the trouble that I caused with you and your friends. And Rio..tell your brother that I'm sorry."
Rio was surprised that he meant an apology. "Sure I will. When I go back to visit him in the hospital."
Jake sweat dropped. "Oh my. I guess I went a little overboard this time."
"It's okay." Rio said. "He's actually going to be getting out already."
"Well..Goodbye everyone." Jake started to walk away.
"Wait!" Yuma said. "Where are you going--?"
"Back to my time line and I plan to stay there forever."
"So..you're not coming back?"
"Nope, I've been in this time line long enough. I don't want to stay here for too long or I'll cease to exist."
"And...what about me and my friends? How will we get back home?"
"Oh. You should be transported there in about ten seconds."
"Ten seconds?"
~~~~~
"Woah!" Ray Shadows said. "We're back!"
"That was...weird." Tori Meadows said.
"The weird part is..we're back at the time of morning..so..nothing really changed." Violet Flowers said.
"We better hurry up! School's almost ready to start!" Rio started running.
"But what about the flowers that you were going to get?" Violet asked.
"We'll get them after school."
Yuma Tsukumo got ahead too. "Yeah! And I don't want to be marked tardy for the third time!"
