"To resume everything up to now, let's first take a step back. It all staretd with Ryuuga's dream of traveling the world but then it expanded into something greater. Ryuuga, Hikaru, Fujiko and Emon formed team Spiral Terra and despite their efforts on the regional tournament, lost to team Royalty, composed of Akira, Ichigo and Aijou, the King, Jack and Joker of the Royalty of Heiwa. With Fujiko and Emon departing from Royalty, and Emon ending his friendship Akira, Akira was left at a weakened state, just as if he was a candle surrounded by hurricanes. As for the other two members of Royalty, Aijou and Fujiko started slowly rebuilding their past friendship and Ichigo finally confronted his nemesis, Hikaru, and left him at a bad state aswell. Almost two weeks after this fight, Hikaru returned to Heiwa with a goal forged in his mind and that is when Act II starts..."

"Thank god our teacher missed or else I would have gotten late to class!" Ryuuga ranted, making his way to Heiwa Academy by foot. "Why did the damn alarm clock stop working today?! This must have been sabotage! At least now I won't get a bad grade for being late..." And then, his thoughts and rants were interrupted by the buzzing sound of his phone. Grabbing it from his pocket, he looked at the screen to see who was calling and answered the call. "Hey Fujiko, what's up?"

"It's Hikaru! He returned to Heiwa this morning and has been acting way weirder than usual! But that isn't all of it, he has also challenged Akira for the title of King! You need to get here quickly, they just started!"

"Wait, he did what? I- huh, I'll get there as soon as possible!"

Walking past the school gate's in a rush, Ryuuga made his way to the rooftop of the school. In his way there, he was able to hear the many voices of students talking about the match, cheering on for Akira, but above that, dreading the possibility of him losing. Climbing up the stairs that lead to the doors to the rooftop, he was able to see the light the open doors let into the school building. He ran past the doors, facing himself with a large crowd of students, teachers and even school workers. "Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me..." He muttered, trying his best to make his way through the crowd.

"BEAT THAT PUNK UP AKIRA!"

"DON'T LET THAT PERVERT WIN!"

"What will happen if that first year guy wins?"

"I don't know by I'm sure he will be away different that Akira."

Those were the main things Ryuuga could hear from the crowd of students surrounding him. However, he was able to listen to some parts of the fight, which was about to reach it's finale.

"Attack." Hikaru simply said, looking away from the pitiful state Akira was in ever since the end of the regional tournament.

"Damage check..." Akira slowly turned the top card of his deck face up, revealing yet another Soul Saver Dragon and placing it in his damage zone face up. In his damage zone, he had two face down cards and a total of four face up Soul Saver Dragons. "Yay, knock yourself out." He mumbled, throwing the King pin into the air just like a coin and letting it fall perfectly on Hikaru's open palm. Then, he just threw his cards into his school bad and left the area. 'I don't need to be a King anymore...'
