==Summary==
<!--Rino alerts Gavin to danger.-->
As [[Super Mobile Fortress Sixross]] orbits [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], [[Yuro Goha|Yuro]], [[Yuran Goha|Yuran]], [[Mrs. Drone]], [[Yuka Goha|Yuka]] and [[Yujin Goha|Yujin]] all convene over the news that [[Yuga Ohdo|Yuga]] might be the sixth of the [[Goha Six]]. Yuka asks if Yuga really is their sibling and Yuro calls it a full throttle surprise. Meanwhile, storm clouds gather over the [[Goha Enterprises Main Office]] as [[Yuo Goha|Yuo]] looks out of the window of his office with the [[President Drone]], musing that he needs to hurry his preparations for the next big stage of the Yuo Troupe. Then alarms sound all across [[Goha Enterprises]] and everyone looks around in shock. [[Rino]] bursts into the Serious Division, gasping to [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]] that this is an emergency, and he stammers to Gavin and [[Rayne]] that everyone has turned into ''zombies''. Poor Gavin can only ask what he means by zombies.

<!--Mimi is surrounded by zombies.-->
Chaos quickly spreads through Goha Enterprises as the zombies quickly overwhelm the non-zombified, and as Gavin, Rayne and Rino look over the Gohanium Section, Gavin asks what happened, wondering how the zombies even got into the building. Rino spots [[Mimi Imimi|Mimi]] beings cornered by four zombies and points her out, and Gavin recognizes the zombies as the ones who challenged him, [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]] and [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]] to Duels during the [[Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal]], wondering if they were real zombies after all. Mimi is quickly surrounded and asks what this is, begging the zombies not to come any closer, and Rayne gasps that they have to save her, Gavin calling out to Mimi. Mimi tells them to run, claiming she'll be fine and warning them they'll be zombified if they lose a Duel to them before being overwhelmed and disappearing under the zombies. Gavin cries her name and Rino urges him to leave as it's too dangerous here now, Rayne reminding Gavin that he has to stay alive as the heir to [[Sogetsu Style]]. Gavin grits his teeth, but he reluctantly agrees.

<!--Yosh, Rayne and Rino stay to buy time for Gavin to escape.-->
As the zombies clog the halls, Rino hits the button for the elevator and Gavin laments how time always seems to crawl at a snail's pace in times like these. Then he stiffens, and as Rayne asks what's wrong, Gavin turns to look at the elevator and notes that he's got a bad feeling about this, and sure enough the elevator is full of zombies when it arrives. Gavin yelps that he knew it and he, Rayne and Rino quickly flee, Rayne praising his insight and Gavin admitting he actually likes zombie movies a lot. Rino gets them to hurry to the stairs and Rayne agrees, explaining there's a large Drone at the building's helipad intended for emergencies. As they reach a higher floor, Rino notes that there don't seem to be any zombies on the upper floors yet and they're pretty slow anyway, prompting Gavin to freeze in alarm again and recall what happens to those who let their guard down in a zombie movie. [[Graves]] then breaks through a small window, Gavin recognizing the little dog and realizing it's become a zombie dog, and [[Mason]] and [[Hicks]] tumble out of a room with shining eyes and dull expressions. Rayne and Rino move to guard Gavin, who gasps in shock that the zombies got Mason and Hicks, but then [[Yosh Imimi|Yosh]] rounds the corner in his cosplay suit, telling them to leave this to him and apologizing in advance as he clotheslines his friends and knocks them senseless. Gavin gasps that he's glad Yosh is all right, and Yosh admits that he is, but sobs over his failure to protect his friends as they get back up. Then another horde of zombies approaches from the staircase and Rino gasps that they're catching up, while Yosh laments that they got Mama too as he spots Mimi at the front. Then Hicks grabs Rayne and Mason grabs Rino, Graves leaping onto his legs and biting his pants, and Gavin cries that he forgot to warn them about getting distracted when zombies are nearby. Yosh tells Gavin to leave this to him and Rayne and Rino agree, urging Gavin to leave. Gavin protests, but Yosh pushes him at the upper staircase and orders him to go, and Gavin finally agrees, apologizing as he sprints up the stairs. As Rayne and Rino struggle against Hicks and Mason, Yosh tries to block the other zombies, but falters when he sees Mimi holding up her [[Duel Disk]], and Yosh readies his own Duel Disk, but Gavin soon hears him scream "Mama!" in terror.

<!--Luke hides from the zombies in a stall.-->
Gavin stops to rest outside the bathroom, gasping that there's still hope and he has to get help, before grimly noting that in such situations an outbreak will have spread worldwide by now. Then zombies approach from both sides and Gavin dashes into the bathroom in terror, prompting a voice to beg the zombies not to come in twice. Gavin realizes that Luke is hiding in one of the stalls and asks him to let him in, but Luke claims that while he wants to, nothing can get out so nothing can get in. Gavin tries the other three stalls, but only finds zombies in each and a cleaning cupboard, and then the zombies enter the bathroom. Gavin backs up and Luke asks in terror what's happening, crying that Gavin is the only one who can get the zombies away from him. Then [[Yuga Goha|Swirls]] pokes his head out of a vent in the ceiling and beckons Gavin over, and as Gavin quickly climbs into the roof Luke asks if that was Swirls and desperately asks what's going on. Swirls gasps that he made it in time and Gavin thanks Swirls for saving him. Luke begs Swirls to save him too and screams in terror, Gavin ruefully noting that it's a rule that the selfish don't survive in zombie films.

<!--Romin sets off her Dragias Curry again.-->
They land in the staff canteen's kitchen and Gavin is promptly whacked with a pan by Romin, who quickly apologizes when she realizes they aren't zombies. But they soon have a situation; the barricade Romin has set up begins to shake and Gavin notes it was only a matter of time. Romin comments on the zombies' persistence and vows she'll beat them all up as she brandishes her pan, and Gavin asks how she survived so long. Romin explains she was so absorbed with cooking curry in the back room she didn't notice the chaos, clarifying that it was [[Dragias Curry]] when asked. Gavin gets an idea and tells Romin to finish her curry while they handle this, and she asks in confusion if he's hungry, but hurries off to do so, though she still doesn't understand his plan. Gavin and Swirls brace the barricade, Gavin declaring they have to defend this point no matter what until Romin finishes the curry. A few minutes pass as Romin cooks and Gavin desperately asks if it isn't done yet, though Romin is dissatisfied with the flavor and dumps a jar of purple powder into the Dragias Curry. This promptly sets the curry off, and it swells into a blue surge that quickly fills the Goha Enterprises hallways and carries everyone away. Swirls finds himself all alone, gasping that they're saved and sampling some of the curry, noting that it tastes quite nice, unaware of [[Nana Nanahoshi|a red-eyed figure]] sneaking up behind him...

<!--A zombified Tracker attacks Yuo as he tries to flee alone.-->
Gavin trudges up the curry-stained stairs, having been separated from everyone he decides the only thing he can do now is escape to get help for everyone. He finally makes it to the helipad and spots the evacuation Drone, but as he sprints to it the Drone takes off and Yuo waves at him from inside, claiming the Drone is for the President's exclusive use. Gavin begs him to wait, but not for him, he knows that the selfish will meet with a terrible fate and is proven right when a zombified [[Tracker]] dives at Yuo from inside the Drone, which begins to crash. Gavin notes this is the rule of a zombie film and tells Yuo to take the lesson to heart. But then the zombies burst onto the helipad, Mimi, Yosh, Mason, Hicks, Rayne, Rino and Romin at their head, and Gavin grimly notes that everyone has been zombified. They divide to reveal a zombified Yuga, who drones his own name, and Gavin cries that even Yuga, their last hope and the creator to [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]] has become a zombie. Yuga trudges forwards and says his name again, and another zombie walks out from behind Gavin and declares that he'll have to turn Gavin into a zombie on the order of Zombie King Yuga. Gavin is shocked that a zombie can talk, but the zombie tells him not to worry about it and challenges Gavin to a Duel. Gavin is surprised by the challenge, but after seeing the other zombies with their Duel Disks ready he accepts the zombie's challenge and throws off his uniform to reveal his kimono, vowing that he'll defeat them all and find a way to cure Yuga and the others post-haste. Gavin and the zombie both call "Rush Duel!" and insert their Decks into their Duel Disks, deploying the blades and the green holographic dome.

Gavin declares his [[turn]] and [[Draw a card|draws]], his [[hand]] containing "[[Silent Celebration]]", "[[Princess Liarth the Attribute Star]]", "[[Yurushima Warrior (anime)|Yurushima Warrior]]", "[[Weasel's Wind]]", and "[[Lucky Mask of Omens (anime)|Lucky Mask of Omens]]". He [[Set]]s the two monsters, declaring he'll make a wall to keep the zombies out, and then Sets the other three cards in his hand one after the other, ending his turn now that he's built his defense against the zombies.

<!--The zombie and his monsters dance.-->
The zombie notes that it's his turn now and draws, his hand containing "[[Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine (anime)|Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine]]", "[[Samba Zombie Rio (anime)|Samba Zombie Rio]]", "[[Masked Zombie Venice]]", "[[Zombie Carnival (anime)|Zombie Carnival]]", and "[[Surprising Zomvictory (anime)|Surprising Zomvictory]]". First he Summons "Samba Zombie Rio" and "Masked Zombie Venice", and then he [[Tribute]]s them to [[Tribute Summon]], [[Summon chants in Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|chanting]] "Who's that? Who's that? The monster rotting away... Brought to life with a zap! Come forth! Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine!" Fireworks go off as "Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine" appears with 2500 [[ATK]] and Gavin protests that ''[[wikipedia:Frankenstein|Frankenstein]]'' is a different genre than zombies, though the zombie tells him not to worry about it and sends another "Masked Zombie Venice" from the top of his [[Main Deck|Deck]] to the [[Graveyard]] to [[activate]] the effect of "Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine", [[Special Summon]]ing two [[Zombie]] [[Type]] monsters from his Graveyard. He revives "Venice" and "Rio", and all of his monsters strike a pose with him as he declares it's time for the zombie carnival, activating the "Zombie Carnival" [[Field Spell Card]] to surround them with a graveyard. As the other zombies all raise their arms and call "zombie" in unison, the zombie explains that the effect of "Zombie Carnival" increases the ATK and [[DEF]] of Zombie monsters by 100 for each Zombie Type monster on the field. As "Venice", "Rio" and "Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine" dance their ATK rises 1600, 1800 and 2800 respectively and Gavin gasps that it's a Lantern Festival dance, but the zombie claims it's a dance of victory and activates another [[Spell Card]], "Suprising Zombie Victory", changing the battle positions of all monsters Gavin controls. Gavin gasps as "Yurushima Warrior" and "Liarth" change to [[Attack Position]] and the zombie adds that he can also increase the ATK of all his zombies by 100 for each Zombie Type monster in his Graveyard. "Venice", "Rio" and "Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine" power up again to 1700, 1900 and 2900 ATK respectively, and the zombie claims he's just getting started, ordering "Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine" to attack with "[[Attack and effect names in Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|Funga Blast]]".

<!--Gavin is reduced to 200 LP.-->
As "Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine" blasts energy from its arm and back cannons, Gavin activates a [[Trap Card]], "Lucky Mask of Omens", increasing the ATK of "Yurushima Warrior" to 1600, though it's still destroyed by the attack of "Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine", reducing Gavin to 2700 [[LP]]. The zombie claims that even if Gavin beats one zombie, another will be there to take its place and that's the rule of a zombie film. Declaring "Let's Samba", he orders "Rio" to attack "Liarth", and "Rio" emits a cloud of spores that consume "Liarth" and reduce Gavin to 1900 LP. The zombie comments that Gavin is running out of places to hide and declares that "Masked Zombie Venice" will finish him off. He orders a [[direct attack]] from "Venice" which approaches Gavin and breathes glowing particle on him, reducing him to 200 LP. The zombie comments that it looks like they've run out of Zombies, and he ends his turn, the other zombies all chanting "Zombie!" in English.

<!--The zombie begs Gavin to stop changing his monsters into Defense Position.-->
Gavin wonders if he'll lose his humanity or become a zombie first, and decides he has to end it on this turn, declaring his turn and drawing five cards. First he Summons two monsters; "[[Needlkyrie the Celestial Seamstress (anime)|Needlkyrie the Celestial Seamstress]]" and "[[Tama the Mancer Cat (anime)|Tama the Mancer Cat]]", and then he sends two cards ("[[Nandes the Fire Awakener (anime)|Nandes the Fire Awakener]]" and "[[Ancient Turtle Protector (anime)|Ancient Turtle Protector]]") from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard to activate the effect of "Tama the Mancer Cat", Special Summoning the "Ancient Turtle Protector" he just sent to the Graveyard in [[Defense Position]]. Gavin Tributes "Tama the Mancer Cat" to Tribute Summon "[[Yurushima Sage (anime)|Yurushima Sage]]", then changes her to Defense Position to activate her "Entanglement" effect, changing "Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine" to Defense Position and reducing its DEF by 600, to zero. The zombie protests that's so mean and asks Gavin to stop, but Gavin chants "No, I will not stop!" and Tributes "Ancient Turtle Protector" and "Yurushima Sage" to Tribute Summon "[[Yamiruler the Dark Delayer (anime)|Yamiruler the Dark Delayer]]". Then Gavin activates "[[Fusion (anime Rush Duel)|Fusion]]", and Yuga chants "Zo-zo-zo!" happily as the zombie begs Gavin to stop, but Gavin chants "To stop or not to stop—the answer is no! Countless cries pry open the stone door—and what light through yonder cave breaks! [[Fusion Summon]]! Come forth, [[Celestial Warrior]] Type! [[Yamiterasu the Divine Ruler (anime)|Yamiterasu the Divine Ruler]]!" 

<!--Gavin uses the other effect of "Yamiterasu" to change the zombie's last monster into Defense Position.-->
The zombies all cower from "Yamiterasu's" radiance and Gavin activates his face-down "Wicked Weasel's Warding Wind" to increase the ATK of "Yamiterasu" by 1000, to 4000. The zombie yelps "Zombie?!" in terror and Gavin adds that the zombie will also have to change one of his monsters to Defense Position. The zombie protests that he doesn't have any choice and switches his lower-ATK "Venice" into Defense Position. Gavin then sends "[[Pierce! (anime)|Pierce!]]" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard to activate the [[Multi-Choice Effect]] of "Yamiterasu", "Revised Policy", changing "Samba Zombie Rio" into Defense Position as well. The zombie protests, but then asks if this means that Gavin won't be able to damage him. Gavin explains this isn't his goal and states that he can activate a Spell Card when his opponent controls no Attack Position monsters. The zombie frantically looks around, noting his monsters are all in Defense Position and begins to ask why that matters, but Gavin activates "Silent Celebration", changing all of the zombie's monsters into Attack Position, then reducing the ATK of "Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine" by 1000 for each monster he controls. With three monsters, "Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine" falls to zero ATK and the zombie gasps that Gavin purposefully switched his monsters to Defense Position just to activate "Silent Celebration". Gavin confirmed that he did, vowing to make the zombie pay for turning all his friends into zombies. He orders "Yamiterasu" to attack with "Heavenly Flight: Slash of Resurrection" and "Yamiterasu" leaps onto its fan and charges forwards, destroying "Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine" as the zombies all cry "Zombie!" and the zombie is blasted off his feet, crying that he's all out of live as his LP falls to zero.

<!--D.K. introduces himself.-->
Gavin gasps that he did it as he stands over the zombie, but to his shock he hears clapping and turns to see the other zombies applauding him, Yuga commenting that he knew Gavin would be the last one standing. Poor Gavin is utterly bewildered as Yuga notes the time isn't up yet, but then the 3pm toll sounds and a voice announces the end of recreation time, asking the employees to go back to their duties. Gavin spots writing on the holographic Goha logo reading "Become a zombie!" and Yuga realizes Gavin didn't get the memo, showing him a flyer advertising the event. Gavin asks in shock if it was like a costume party and Yuga confirms that it was, wiping his face clean of the makeup he was using. Gavin asks what he just said in shock and looks around to see everyone else wiping themselves down too, Romin admitting it was fun and Mimi wishing it went on a little longer. Yosh praises his mother's acting, and she tells him that he, Mason and Hicks were good actors too. Gavin can only stammer "Actors..." as Yuga explains he took a course with four people famous for their zombie acting; four students with dark makeup over their eyes are congratulating Rayne and Rino, Rayne embarrassed by how well she acting and Rino admitting he enjoyed scaring people. The "zombie" who Dueled Gavin casually introduces himself as the president of [[Goha 4 Elementary|Goha #4 Elementary]]'s [[Zombie Duel Club]], [[D.K.]], and his colleagues all say "Zombie.." in chorus. Poor Gavin can only ask in shock if this was all an act and sinks to his knees, asking why he was running like his life depended on it. Graves races over and yips at Gavin as he realizes that even Graves was acting and he laughs weakly.

<!--Swirls corners Luke in the bathroom.-->
Down in [[Goha City]], Tracker winces next to the crashed evac Drone and admits he got so caught up in playing a zombie he almost actually died, while Yuo, stuck in a tree above him, rants about how they can't just go on recreation time without the president's permission. And in the toilet, Swirls is clawing at Luke's stall ferociously and swirling as Luke protests that recreation time is over and he asks in terror if Swirls is a real zombie.

"Cyber-Stein Frankenshrine" attacks "Yurushima Warrior", but as a monster D.K. controls declared an [[attack]], Gavin activates his Set [[Trap Card]] "Lucky Mask of Omens", choosing a [[face-up]] [[Warrior]] Type monster he controls and increasing its ATK equal to its [[Level]] x 100. He chooses "Yurushima Warrior" ("Yurushima Warrior": 1200/0 → 1600/0). The attack continues and "Yurushima Warrior" is destroyed (Gavin: 4000 → 2700).

Gavin Tributes "Tama the Mancer Cat" to Tribute Summon "[[Yurushima Sage (anime)|Yurushima Sage]]" (0/1800). Gavin activates the effect of "Yurushima Sage", changing it from Attack Position to face-up Defense Position to choose an Attack Position monster D.K. controls and change it to face-up Defense Position and reduce its DEF by 600 until the end of this turn.

Gavin Tributes "Yurushima Sage" and "Turtle Keeper" to Tribute Summon "[[Yamiruler the Dark Delayer (anime)|Yamiruler the Dark Delayer]]" (2500/2500). Gavin activates the Spell Card "[[Fusion (anime Rush Duel)|Fusion]]", [[Fusion Summon]]ing a monster from his [[Extra Deck]] using face-up monsters he controls as [[Fusion Material|materials]].
