Meanwhile in the other tower Kite is falling from Lulu's tower after being thrown out in the same way as Yugo by Rin. While Kite is falling he sees Template:Anime fly towards him. Kite lands on the monster which brings him down to the ground safely, there he meets Shay and Aster running towards him. Kite asks why the pair are here. Shay replys he survived thanks to Aster and both traveled to the Fusion Dimension together. Shay asks what happened up in the tower, to which Kite replies he was pushed.

Rin continues to ignore Yugo and asks for a duel, Yugo accepts.
Yugo and Rin build a Duel Runner
Rin starts the duel by playing the spell card Wind-Calling Bell Chime which lets her special summon a Wind Witch monster with the same name as a monster in her hand.
Rin arrives to duel Yugo.
She names Template:Anime and special summons it. She then goes on to normal summon another Wind Witch Ice Bell. She then uses its effect, allowing her to inflict 500 points of damage to Yugo on the turn it is normal or special summoned, since she controls two she uses both effects twice, reducing Yugo's lifepoints to 3000. Yugo notes how this effect feels colder then before. Rin then special summons the tuner monster Template:Anime from her hand since she controls two face up Wind monsters. She tunes her Snow Bell and two Ice Bell's together to Synchro Summon Template:Anime. Rin uses Wind Bell's effect, allowing her to target a Wind Wind in her grave and use its effect. She chooses Ice Bell and inflicts another 500 points of damage to Yugo. Rin ends her turn by setting a card. She then jumps on Wind Witch Winter Bell and rides it down the stairs, Yugo gives chase in his Duel Runner.
Yugo notes Rin isn't listening to him and wonders if Duel Academy did something to her while she was kidnapped, he draws. Yugo summons Template:Anime, allowing him to special summon another Speedroid monster from his hand. He special summons the tuner monster Template:Anime. He tunes his Tri-Eyed Dice with his Bamboo Horse to Synchro Summon Template:Anime. Yugo says to Rin about how much she loved the Dragon and a flashback shows Rin cheering on Yugo in a riding duel back in the Synchro Dimension. Rin ignores him once again and activates her set card, Bewildering Wind. This negates Clear Wing's effect and halves it's ATK points. Yugo questions why Rin reduced the monster to this state. The Doktor laughs and calls it ugly and goes on to explain to Leo Akaba that the Parasite Monster inside of Rin's brain is programmed to make them loyal to Leo. Leo acknowledges the job the Doktor has done, but warns they must not be harmed. The Doktor replies the brainwashed bracelet girls need ways to defend themselves. Leo watches as Yusho and Alexis make their way to the castle.
Meanwhile on the boat containing the Lancers. Yuya explains to his fellow Lancers about Yuhso and why he is going to Duel Academy. Declan explains it's something to do with what Yusho said to him three years ago. Declan continues by saying he crossed the dimensions and found out what Leo Akaba was planning. He enlisted Yusho's help to stop Duel Academy, Yusho agreed but went into Declan's teleporter without telling anyone. Declan adds three years ago he met a girl named Celina and that three years later after meeting Yuya and Zuzu, a memory resurfaced. He speaks about Revival Zero. He explains in two files which belonged to Leo Akaba he found two people. One was Celina and the other was Yuri. He explains that Yuya is a part of Duel Acadmeny's plan and that now that all the girls have been caught, Leo's plan can now move forward.
Back at the duel, Rin draws Template:Anime, she attacks Clear Wing with Winter Bell but Yugo negates the attack by banishing Tri Eyed Dice. Rin said she knew this would happen and plays the Quick-play spell Call of the Wind Witch. She can special summon a monster from her hand with a level lower then a targeted monster. She Special summoned level 1 Parasite Fusioner from her hand. Yugo questions how Rin has that monster. Rin says since Parasite Fusioner was Special summoned she can Fusion summon. She jumps off her Winter Bell and performs the summon, bringing out the Fusion monster Template:Anime. Since Parasite Fuisoner was used for a Fusion summon, the monster is equipped to the Fusion monster. Rin lands on her new monster and continues to ride down the stairs.
Yugo questions if Rin is working for Duel Academy. The Doktor smiles and says she is and that she is fighting for them by choice and Rin he knows is gone. Rin attacks Clear Wing Synchro Dragon with her monster, it unleashes a powerful attack which is strong enough to knock Yugo off his Duel Runner and makes him fall off the stairs, while taking the damage. Yugo's lifepoints are now reduced to 950.
Rin and Yugo flashback
Yugo falls off and lands on the ground as his Duel Runner is now smoking and destroyed. He slams the ground as Rin floats down with Crystal Bell saying the duel isn't over. Yugo screams at Rin saying have you forgotten about how the pair built the Duel Runner. A flashback shows Rin and Yugo riding the Duel Runner in the Synchro Dimension. Rin ignores it with a cold tone, shocking Yugo. She activates her monsters effect, targeting Ice Bell in her grave and activating its effect, dealing 500 points of damage to Yugo. Yugo takes the hit once more and is knocked backwards.
Rin now lands on the ground, jumping off her monster and says Yugo's lifepoints is now at 450 and his duel runner is destroyed and says he has no chance to win. She tells him to hurry up and surrender. Yugo gets up and says he doesn't know how to surrender and that it is stubborn. He explains he has come this far and won't give up. He slams his duel disk onto his arm and vows to bring Rin back. He tells Rin to end her turn, which she does.
The Doktor laughs and says he is a stubborn boy. Yugo draws Template:Anime and summons it, he plays the spell Step on Shadow, by targeting the level 8 Crystal Bell he can special summon a monster from his grave which came from the Extra Deck and has a level equal or less then the targeted monster. It's effects are also negated. He brings back Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, and tunes his two monsters to form level 8 Template:Anime. Yugo attacks with his Crystal Wing and activates its effect meaning when it battles a level 5 or higher monster, it adds the opposing monster's ATK to itself, rising Crystal Wing's ATK to 5800. Yugo shouts a Fusion monster doesn't suit Rin as the attack continues.
Rin plays Crystal Bell's effect meaning she can choose a monster in either players graveyards until the end phase and use its effect, she chooses Clear Wing Synchro Dragon. When a level 5 or higher monster activates its effect, she can negate and the destroy the monster. Yugo then responds by using Crystal Wing's effect which negates Crystal Bell's effect and destroys it. Rin looks annoyed then responds by sending Parasite Fusion to the grave to negate the her monster from being destroyed. Yugo then attacks Crystal Bell destroying it and sending Rin backwards. Her lifepoints are reduced to 1000.
Yugo runs over to Rin and holds her, telling her to wake up. Rin speaks Yugo's name as he hugs her in his hands as he comments Rin is back. Rin smiles. Rin then says that when Crystal Bell is destroyed, she can special summon Winter Bell and Parasite Fusioner from her grave. Yugo look's at Rin who is still brainwashed. Rin shoves Yugo away as she Special summons the two monsters and then fuses them to summon a second Crystal Bell. Parasite Fusion equips itself once more. Yugo comments no way.
Rin smiles as she prepares to win
The Doktor says the Parasite monsters are even more stubborn then Yugo. Yugo looks at Rin smiling in a dark aura and wonders if the Parasite is controlling Rin. Rin use's Crystal Bell's effect again to inflict 500 points of damage to Yugo, while grinning once more. Yugo takes the damage as he flies backwards. Yugo loses the duel as his lifepoints hit 0. Rin then hears the Doktor ordering back to Duel Academy. Rin obeys and walks off, leaving an injured Yugo on the floor.
The Lancers have made their way to a mountain and are told they must climb it. The Lancers head off.
