Yugioh: The Power of Four

Chapter 22: ARC-V - PART 8

It would seem my son chose his soldiers well." Leo Akaba commented with amusement. From atop the company building that used to be his, he and his chosen subordinates observed the Duels involving his troops battling the Duelists Reiji sent out to confront them. Thanks to the mini spy drones, they were able to keep an eye on all the action. Leo was mildly amused with the LDS Team, but the other three teams impressed him far more. They all Dueled almost the same time.

The team of Xyz Duelists proved very strong against the Obelisk Force. The team that seemed to be made up of Synchro Duelists seemed to have little to no trouble taking down Roget's Security forces. Even the team of Fusion Duelists appeared to be formidable, seeing how they managed to defeat squads from both Leo and Roget's men.

It was not just him. Gloria and Grace Tyler were enjoying watching their enemies battle the grunts. They each had their own opinions. "Indeed, Professor. If all those guys are that good, then Yuzu's bodyguards have to be even better." Gloria said. Her sister nodded.

"Oh, definitely! I can't wait to face them." Grace said excitedly. 'Although... personally, I'd rather take on the guy dressed in black and uses Ojamas. He's not just strong... he's also kinda hot.' She added with a small blush. Thankfully for her, nobody noticed, especially her sister. She and Gloria wondered if the Xyz Duelists came from the Xyz Dimension, seeing how battle hardened they seemed to be. That seemed to be case since Kaito Tenjo was with them. Although, during the times they've invaded there, those other guys never once showed up to fight.

Leo was glad he sent out squads of three with his own Obelisk Force and Roget's Security forces against each team. He did this to test the opposition and was sure of the next step to wipe them all out. He then turned to his second-in-command. "Roget, are you ready?" Roget, who had been monitoring the separate battles on four different holo screens, nodded.

"Yes Professor. Just give the word, and I'll activate it." He said with eager anticipation. He could hardly wait to put his new program into action. It was something he had come up with very recently. He expected it to give all the opposing Duelists a hard time.

Leo was pleased. If Roget's new program worked, all of Reiji's Duelists will be worn out, if not defeated, at the end of this. By then, Leo would bring in the rest of their forces to quickly take them down and card them. Then they would surround the building, cutting off the escape of his enemies and force them to come to the roof. Once they arrive, they would be waiting to finally strike down the Four and take Yuzu at last, and find out where the other girls were located. "Very good. Do it." Leo ordered. Roget smirked.

"With pleasure. Activating "The Gauntlet" program now." He said before pressing a button on a control pad he held. At once, spheres of dark yellow light appeared around where Reiji Akaba's teams were at that moment. "This should be most interesting." He said to himself as he and the others observed the new battles taking place...

The LDS trio smiled at one another, knowing they won. Masumi then walked over and picked up a card one of the Obelisks dropped upon their defeat. "Hokuto... he was a jerk most of the time. But he was one of us... a Duelist from Leo Duel School, from LDS." She then turned to Yaiba and Sawatari. "Thanks to us, we've avenged him. Hopefully, we can find a way to bring him back." The guys nodded. "And Sawatari..."

"Yeah?" He asked. Masumi turned to him with a warm smile.

"You did good." Sawatari smirked again.

"You didn't do so bad yourself... team leader." They all smiled at one another before moving on to their next opponents. Unfortunately, they didn't get very far before a bright sphere surrounded them. "Hey! What the hell is this?!" Sawatari complained. Yaiba tried to break through with his katana, but it just bounced off.
