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. Using similar tactics, Apollo and Diana use their monsters' special abilities to weaken their opponents' monsters and put them 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, both are unaware that Rin and Lulu are under mind control.
