The Insider

A New Mission

It had been three years since the Academia had taken Yuya in. And in almost every second since then he had fought and trained to reach the top. To him the Academia was more than a school it was a life style and orders were not to be disobeyed. That much he was sure of.

" Come Yuya you can duel the lower levels later, we have a meeting with the Professor." Yuri said his face devoid for his usual smirk. More than a year ago he had been assigned to personally assess and strengthen Yuya's skills.

Yuya's duel disk deactivated and he follow his mentor from his unfinished duel as his opponent sighed in relief, sinking it the floor. They walked in silence for several moments.

Yuya kept his hands in their  pockets occasionally fidgeting with his blue obelisk cloak which framed his white shirt and black pants with his pendulum swinging on his neck. It was the only thing he kept from before, from his other life.

"Yuya. I know you like to act silly but when you address the Professor you will be serious. Or else you can do another hundred rounds of the course." Yuri said his signature smirk covering his face.

Yuya shuddered at the thought. "Of course. I wouldn't be here if it weren't  for him."

Yuri turned back around as they reached the door to the Professor's office and entered quietly as he finished another deployment.

"Enter boys." He commanded from his throne at the end of the room, bidding the boys to draw to him giving salutes as they did.

"We have a new mission, you will be sent to the synchro dimension to retrieve this girl Ruri." He gestured to a life size hologram of a girl with green hair and eyes.

"Huh, Yuzu." Yuya whispered.

"What was that?" The Professor demanded.

"Sir, there is a girl from my old home in standard who looks exactly like Ruri, I almost thought it was her." Yuya explained cringing expecting to be disciplined for speaking out of turn.

But instead the Professor laughed.  "So there's another in standard as well, perfect. Yuya you are ordered to return to standard and bring us this Yuzu. Yuri you well continue on to synchro to capture Ruri with the help of our insider, Dennis. You are dismissed."

They saluted the Professor and made their way out. Once far enough away Yuri giggled, a sound that shocks the mind.

"Finally a real mission away from you. But remember that failure is not an option, because if you fail so do I and that's not an option."

" Don't worry, this'll be a snap. From what I remember they'll be so excited to see me that won't care about what I'm there for." Yuya said a smile. Now a chance for him to show off his skills on someone new, and prove himself to Yuri.

" Fine then." Yuri said as he walked away looking at a card. Yuya looked at his own deck something else he'd woken up here with. Their childish features made people underestimate him, and there was always his new dueling. It was there only thing he hid from the Academia because he didn't know how they'd react learning of this new power of his.

Gazing on his ace card, a new pendulum monster, he set out to make preparations to leave believing this to be an easy job like the last few he and Yuri had run.

A memory of a fight flashed into his mind.

" I fusion summon performpal Silver Beast." a large wolf like monster emerged from the fusion to the terror of the XYZ residents he was dueling. "I activate Silver's monster ability, one per turn in exchange for sending a card to the graveyard I can give it the ability to attack all opponents simultaneously. Go Silver Claw!"

His opponents screamed as their machine monsters were destroyed. What a flick of his wrist the three duelist became cards, he shook them watching the terrorized image appear and let them fall to the ground.

"Good job Yuya." Yuri said his form widening. " You've been ordered to return to Academia."

"Yes sir." Yuya replied fidgeting with a pair of bronze goggles on his head, a trophy from a recent duel. Activating his duel disk Yuya twinkled into blue sparks as Yuri laughed.

"The Professor will be pleased that his plan for Yuya is coming to fruition. You can't hide from him forever Yusho."

A.N. Done! I know Yuya doesn't have that monster but I don't want to use pendulum yet. Alright next time Yuya goes home!
