SORA:

Here’s my Spell Card! Polymerization!

SORA:

You’re...

YUTO:

......

SORA:

Yuto!

YUTO:

............

SORA:

I did horrible things to you and they Xyz Dimension... I know apologizing won’t make up for it, but... I’m sorry...

YUTO:

............ Sora, was it?

SORA:

You know my name?

YUTO:

After I combined with Yuya... Everything he saw, I saw too. Therefore, I know you fought alongside Yuya and Shun to defeat Duel Academy.

SORA:

............

YUTO:

So we’re good.

SORA:

Yuto...

YUTO:

......... Let’s Duel, Sora.

SORA:

Huh?

YUTO:

I was told that Dueling brings smiles to people’s faces - and you’re not smiling right now.

SORA:

............

YUTO:

If something happens to me or Yuya, I need to know we can count on you. Let’s Duel so that your heart can smile again!

SORA:

REIJI:

So you’re Sora.

SORA:

Reiji...

REIJI:

I want your honest opinion. What do you think of this world?

SORA:

I don’t know. I just got here.

REIJI:

But I’m sure you did your research in advance.

SORA:

Why would I do that? Do I look like a hard worker to you?

REIJI:

Don’t try to hide it. You have to be if Duel Academy trusts you to carry out solo missions.

SORA:

All that sweet talk won’t get you anywhere. But fine - I’ll tell you want I think. I think this world is... fun.

REIJI:

Fun?

SORA:

Yeah! Stuff that can never occur in the real world happens all the time here!

REIJI:

............

SORA:

But that means bad stuff can happen too. You should be careful about that.

REIJI:

I never expected you to say “fun.”

SORA:

Really?

REIJI:

Have as much fun in this world as you want. But when the real fight begins, can I count on you?

SORA:

Sure. That’s why I’m here.

REIJI:

Good. I need all the allies I can get. And you need to train to prepare for the war.

SORA:

Whaaaa!? Don’t say it like that. Cuz that doesn’t sound fun.

REIJI:

I see...

SORA:

Say something like, “Hey bud! You down to train ‘til dawn?”

REIJI:

That is not how I talk.

SORA:

SHINGO:

Hey, Sora! You don’t need to beg - I’m willing to Duel you.

SORA:

......Oh. It’s just Shingo.

SHINGO:

What do you mean, “just!” I know I don’t look busy, but my schedule’s loaded. See ya!

SHINGO:

Hold up!

SORA:

What?

SHINGO:

Are you underestimating the skulls of the best Duelist in the Leo Institute?

SORA:

Yeah, I am. So?

SHINGO:

............

SORA:

............

SHINGO:

Here! Take this!

*gives candy*

SORA:

Yay! I love sweets! Maybe I shouldn’t have underestimated you! Your bribes are on point!

SHINGO:

That’s right! So who deserves to Duel you?

SORA:

Shingo Sawatari!

SHINGO:

GONGENZAKA:

Hey, Sora! Long time no see!

SORA:

Yeah! How’ve you been, big brows?

GONGENZAKA:

Gong’s been busy honing his Heavystrong Style!

SORA:

...You mean standing around doing nothing like usual?

GONGENZAKA:

Just because Gong’s standing around doesn’t mean Gong’s doing nothing!

SORA:

That’s a lot of words when you could’ve just said yes.

GONGENZAKA:

Grrrrrr... Gong challenges you to a Duel! You’ll see if Gong’s been doing nothing!

SORA:

A Duel? Sure, I guess... I don’t think I’ve ever had a real Duel against you. This’ll be a good chance to see if your Heavystrong Style is actually strong.

GONGENZAKA:

Gong’s going to be strong like oak and flexible like oak to defeat you!

SORA:

SORA:

Hey, Yuzu. What’s up?

YUZU:

Sora... I challenge you to a Duel!

SORA:

Whaaa!? You want to Duel me? Sure, but... You’re gonna be sad when you lose.

YUZU:

Who says I’m losing? I’ve been training in this world to power up my game! And we all know that the student eventually grows up to surpass their teacher!

SORA:

If you’re that sure of yourself, I’ll take you on. But get ready, Yuzu! Cuz you haven’t seen my best Fusion Summons yet!

YUZU:

SORA:

Yuyaaaa! Let’s Duel!

YUYA:

Give me a sec, Sora.

SORA:

Your second’s up! C’mon! You’ve been Dueling Here without me forever! So you can spare time for me!

YUYA:

Look, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about this place earlier, but I’m kinda busy-

SORA:

Let’s Duuuuueeeelllll!

YUYA:

Erk...

SORA:

Why won’t you Duel me? You’re hurting my feelings...

YUYA:

Erk...

YUYA:

Fine! I’ll Duel you! So stop looking at me with those puppy dog eyes!

SORA:

Hooray! You’re so easy to manipulate!

YUYA:

What did you say?

SORA:

SORA:

When I heard that Duel Links was where Duelists worldwide come to play... I thought most of ‘em wouldn’t be much competition. But boy I was wrong! These Duelists are amazing! I can’t wait to Duel! And I won’t hold back!

CHANT:

Edge of sharpness and fury of bear! When the two come together, you had better beware! Fusion Summon! Here it comes! The most unbearable monster you’ve ever seen! Frightfur Bear!

SORA:

I’m putting everyone on notice! Prepare to face the best Fusion Summoning you’ve ever seen!

Sora Shiun’in Unlocked!

You can now use Sora Shiun’in and his Deck.

Obtained Sora’s Skill, "The Most Unbearable Monster."

SORA:

Duel Academy hurt a lot of people. Or should I say, I hurt a lot of people. No matter how many times I say I’m sorry, it won’t be enough. That’s why if there’s danger threatening this world, I’m going to protect it! To keep everyone here smiling! And...

YUZU:

Soraaaa!

YUYA:

Come over here, Sora!

SORA:

Yuzu! Yuya! Okay! I’m coming! ...And... And keep my friends smiling too!

SORA:

I followed Serena to the Synchro Dimension and rescued Yuzu - turning my back on the Professor.

FLASHBACK SORA:

Yuzu’s OK. I got her tucked away safe and sound.

FLASHBACK YUYA:

That’s a relief. I’m glad you found her. Thanks, Sora. I owe you big time.

FLASHBACK SORA:

I know Yuzu would do anything for me, so I’ll do everything to keep her out of Duel Academy’s hands. Yuzu is my bestest bud.

FLASHBACK YUYA:

............

FLASHBACK SORA:

At Duel Academy, I had classmates, but I don’t know if I had any friends. There was no time for that. If you wanted to be the best, you had to be cold and calculating. But when I met you and Yuzu, I felt like I finally had my first real friends.

FLASHBACK YUYA:

Sora...

FLASHBACK SORA:

I need you to trust me.

FLASHBACK YUZU:

!!

FLASHBACK SORA:

I told you I’d bring Yuya to you - and I will. And I’ll make sure you and your friends get home.

FLASHBACK YUZU:

Right. I trust you. If you can’t trust your teacher, who can you trust?

FLASHBACK SORA:

Yuzu...

FLASHBACK YUZU:

Hahaha...

FLASHBACK SORA:

Hahahaha...!

SORA:

SORA:

I never knew Dueling could be fun until I met Yuya. But I couldn’t disobey the Professor. I returned to the Standard Dimension to bring Serena back to the Fusion Dimension.

FLASHBACK YUYA:

Sora! What you’re doing is wrong! You’ve forgotten what Dueling is all about, but I’ll make you remember. No matter what it takes! Sora remember the first time we Dueled each other?

FLASHBACK SORA:

I half-remember I was half-trying. And it was half fun for like half a second.

FLASHBACK YUYA:

Isn’t it great to be Dueling for fun again? This back-and-forth battle’s got your soul smilin’!

FLASHBACK SORA:

You don’t understand anything about Dueling. It’s for destroying your enemy.

FLASHBACK YUYA:

!!

FLASHBACK SORA:

Dueling has never been for fun. But I guess it was fun seeing all those Xyzians run for cover.

FLASHBACK YUYA:

I refuse to believe that this is who you really are!

FLASHBACK SORA:

Sorry bud. Some things just simply are what they are.

FLASHBACK YUYA:

I overlay Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon to build the Overlay Network! I Xyz Summon! Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon!

FLASHBACK SORA:

This is turning out to be a real blast! You really know how to put on a show, Yuya! It’s why I always have so much fun Dueling with you!

FLASHBACK YUYA:

You just said it yourself, Sora! It’s fun! It’s time you stopped fighting that fact.

SORA:

SORA:

Duel Academy in the Fusion Dimension trained me to be a warrior. When I was ready, the Professor sent me to the Standard Dimension. To find the remaining members of the resistance who escaped from the Xyz Dimension. Back then, I was excited to hunt them down.

FLASHBACK SORA:

You’re going to lose. It’s the one thing you’re good at. You were no match for us when we attacked, and you’re no match for me now! Weaklings like you can’t win. That’s why you’re so much fun to hunt down and destroy!

SORA:

But I gotta give credit to those Xyz Duelists. They had guts. They defeated me twice, so Duel Academy teleported me back home.

FLASHBACK YUTO:

We never fled our home! We left so we could fight another day! Against those from your Fusion Dimension!

FLASHBACK YUYA:

There’s a Fusion Dimension? And a Xyz Dimension? And you’re bouncing between them?

FLASHBACK SORA:

More like running instead of bouncing. They hightailed it out of their world when we came calling.

FLASHBACK YUYA:

You really attacked them?

FLASHBACK SORA:

That’s right. You should have seen them when my crew and I took the battle to them! And in that battle, we were victorious - just like I’ll be in this Duel! It’s my destiny to conquer! After all, back at Duel Academy, I was selected as top in my class. *duel disk flashes*

!? No! You can’t take me away now! Just let me stay ‘til I beat him! Trust me! I can do it! Don’t take me awaaaayyyy!

FLASHBACK YUYA:

SORA:

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve Dueled against you, Yuya. But I remember the first time I saw you duel. I was excited cuz I’ve never seen anything like it!

YUYA:

Maybe a little TOO excited. Because you forced your way into You Show Duel School. And also forced me to be your coach if you defeated me in a Duel.

SORA:

Can you blame me? You’re the most entertaining Duelist in the Standard Dimension!

FLASHBACK YUYA:

My monsters are ready to swing into action! Pendulum Summon!

FLASHBACK SORA:

Wow, Coach Y!

FLASHBACK YUYA:

You haven’t seen anything yet! No matter how things turn out, I’ll always have a good time! Because if I do, so will my fans!

FLASHBACK SORA:

Where did your Odd-Eyes disappear to?

FLASHBACK YUYA:

When Odd-Eyes was destroyed, it didn’t end up in the Graveyard. It’s with me here... In my Extra Deck!

FLASHBACK SORA:

That’s so cool, Coach! A destroyed Pendulum Monster goes to the Extra Deck instead of the Graveyard! I’ve never seen anything like it! Pendulum Monsters are awesome!

SORA:

I may’ve lost the Duel, but that’s the day I let you become my best friend.

YUYA:

You’re the one who wanted to be friends with me!

SORA:

You sure? I remember it differently. But it doesn’t matter that you’re wrong. Because in the end, we’re still friends!

YUYA:

SORA:

There’s Yuya! And Yuzu! Finally found them!

YUYA AND YUZU:

Sora!

SORA:

It wasn’t cool that you two came here without telling me! I want to play too! ...But I guess I understand. You wouldn’t want a third wheel for your date.

YUZU:

D-Date!?

SORA:

You’re not on a date?

YUZU:

No, we’re not!

YUYA:

Definitely not! Who’d ever want to date someone as scary and mean like Yuzu!?

YUZU:

!! *smack*

SORA:

Yuya, are you okay?

YUYA:

Ouch... By the way, Sora... We’re not just here for fun.

SORA:

I know. You think something weird’s going on, so you’re here to investigate.

YUYA:

How did you know!?

SORA:

C’mon, I know everything! I sensed it the moment I got here. But I also sense that you might’ve faced some weird stuff, but nothing super dangerous.

YUYA:

...Wow, Sora. You really do know everything.

SORA:

Gathering info’s my specialty after all. Since nothing major bad’s been going on, I bet you’ve had a good time Dueling.

YUYA:

I guess so.

SORA:

That’s what I meant when I said you two came here just to have fun! Am I right or am I right?

YUYA:

......You’re right.

SORA:

That means I should be allowed to join in on the fun too! Let’s forget whatever weird’s going on and Duel! Okay? Okay? Okay?

YUYA:

The Event is Now Open Event Code... A Soldier from the Fusion Dimension: Sora Shiun’in

SORA:

I’m in Duel Links! Everyone’s having a great time Dueling! No surprise there! Now where’s Yuya? I have to find him ASAP... So we can play together!
