In the Ancient Ruins area, Yuya—who's in a rather strange state of mind—sits up and brushes his sleeve off without any reaction to the Obelisk Force’s assault. He's dueling the invaders, and judging by the small amount of life points he has left, he's on the verge of losing.

But he seems unfazed, and even smiles nastily at the Obelisk Force—who are, understandably, unnerved by his sadistic demeanor.

Meanwhile, you run into Mieru and Gogenzaka, the former following her crystal apple. Right when she asked where Yuya was, the three of them turn around to see "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" standing behind him, facing off against the Obelisk Force.

But there's something… strange about him.

His dual-colored green and crimson hair—which usually stick out in downward pointing spikes all around his head—has become frizzled, sticking up on end. And his crimson eyes seem to be glowing, holding a sinister gleam that you've never seen before.

The blood in your veins freezes with dread and a hint of fear.

What the hell happened to him?
