7. Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V A New Story of Pendulum (Xyz Arc)

Chapter 6 Blue-Eyes vs. Red-Eyes

When Yusho returned from his leg treatment, his gait was slow but steady. He smiled faintly at everyone gathered, leaning on his cane as Yuzu rose to help him back to his seat. Once he settled, Yuzu began recounting everything that had happened during his absence—her voice trembling slightly as the memories spilled out.

She told him about Yuya and Yuni's rise to become the current Vice Presidents of LDS, about their leadership after the Battle Royale, and finally, about Yuni's decision to adopt Vivian as her younger sister.

Yusho's expression softened. "So Yuni adopted Vivian as her sister..." He smiled, eyes distant with nostalgia. "She fulfilled my promise with Kobayashi."

Yuzu blinked. "Mr. Kobayashi? So the reason you adopted Vivian back then was because of him?"

Yusho nodded slowly. "Yes. He asked me to take care of her if anything ever happened to him. But for the longest time, I thought she had perished alongside her father."

The room fell silent for a moment before Yuzu continued, describing how Academia attempted to invade their dimension—but the chaos was halted by the Battle Royale of the Championship. She explained how the victory turned the tide and led to their journey into the Synchro Dimension, where they encountered an even darker threat—the revival of the Dark Signers.

"Dark Signers?" Yusho repeated in disbelief. "They've returned?"

Mark nodded, his expression solemn. "Yeah. In fact, Hana and I were both Dark Signers once."

Hana's gaze fell to the floor. "We were consumed by revenge after being experimented on in Academia. But Yuya and Reisho found us... and saved us before it was too late."

Yusho sighed quietly, a mix of pity and admiration in his eyes. "I see... it must've been hard for both of you."

Ruka hesitated before adding, "And Vivian... she's still a Dark Signer, even after the King of the Netherworld was defeated."

Yusho's eyes widened. "What? You mean Vivian still bears the Dark Signer Mark?"

"Yeah," Ryu said. "But it's more than that. Because of the mark, she now holds the power of all ten Earthbound Gods."

Sarah placed a hand over her heart, her voice low. "I see..."

Yuzu went on, explaining how Yuya and Yuni united the Tops and Commons of the Synchro Dimension, ending the centuries-long divide. She told them of Katrina and Vivian's battle against Roget, and how they managed to save Mr. Kurosaki, Ms. Kurosaki, and Lisa from becoming Dark Signers themselves.

Yusho listened silently, eyes glimmering with pride. "So the Synchro Dimension is finally at peace?"

"Yes," Ruka confirmed. "But we didn't get to see it for long. We were teleported here right after."

Yuzu clasped her hands together, worry crossing her face. "And now Yuya and Yuni are in the Xyz Dimension... I just hope they're alright."

Yusho smiled gently, his tone reassuring. "They'll be fine. If Yoko gave them Smile World, then they carry a light stronger than despair itself. With that, they won't need to fear the Resistance."

Mark crossed his arms, exhaling slowly. "I hope you're right, Uncle Yusho."

The room grew quiet again, but this time it wasn't heavy—there was a quiet confidence between them, a belief that even across the split worlds, their bonds would guide them back together.

Their conversation was cut short by the sound of the door slamming open. Three students from You Show stumbled into the room, two of them supporting a third. The girl in the center wore a yellow Academia uniform, her body covered in bruises and scratches.
