Following his teleportation, Yugo finds himself in the middle of Duel Academy. He eventually comes across Kite, Yusho, and Alexis upon their arrival. While Yusho and Alexis look for Leo, Yugo and Kite both head to the towers where Rin and Lulu are being held. They encounter the guardians, Apollo and Diana, respectively. Apollo and Diana use similar tactics. They use their monsters' special abilities to weaken their opponents' monsters and put Yugo and Kite at a disadvantage. However, Yugo and Kite manage to summon Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon and Neo Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon to win their respective duels before heading inside the tower to rescue Rin and Lulu. Yugo and Kite are unaware that Rin and Lulu are under mind control.
