This fan-fic takes place after the event of the crossover movie, so I hope by saying that you won't get confused. I hope you all enjoy reading this story, and support like for my first Yu-Gi-Oh Mirror. So, with further ado, let's begin!

EDIT(3/31/16): Revision to one of the monsters' effect; Battle Gargoyle's effect changed.


-Chapter 1-

Duel City is here! New Adventures Begin!

Few months have passed since Yusuke Kaminari joined the Rising Star Agency. It has been over more months since he met his alternative self from another dimension, the Mirror World. Since then, he's been Dueling against Duelists possessed by Mirror Monsters, new kinds of special summoned monster that can only be summoned through Mirror Summon. He also faced against few of the world's strongest Pro Duelists such as the current King of Duelists, Atsushi Kai. Since his lost to him, Yusuke has been in training with fellow pupils, Aiko and Sasuke at the agency. Now, the upcoming Duel City Tournament is near. It was a day before Duel City, and his fellow Duelists, Aiko and Sasuke, and everyone else were having a dinner party…with one, invited guest.

"Would you like to have more miso soup, Haruka-san?" Kuro asked.

"Thank you, Kuro. I was thinking of having a second!" Haruka thanked her happily.

"Second? I thought this one is gonna be your fifth, Haruka," Yusuke said.

Haruka slapped him so fast that her arm moved at very high speed, probably faster than Roadrunner from Looney Tunes cartoon.

"Ouch!" Yusuke moaned as he held the spot where he got slapped. His cheek was now big, bulgy, and red.

"That's what you get for being rude to a lady." Sasuke stated as he ate his fish.

"But, although, don't you think that's not enough miso soup for you tonight." Aiko thought aloud. She counted how many miso soup Haruka had.

"Ooohh…Did I really eat that much?" she asked.

"Naw! I was just wondering. I wouldn't blame you that you ate a lot since Kuro's cooking is awesome!" Aiko smiled cheekily.

"Oh, Aiko. You are just so honest." Kuro blushed.

Haruka giggled. "Yes, I agree with you that. It is very lovely that you all invited me for this dinner party."

"The more the merrier I say," Miss Akako said as she hiccuped. She is the manager of the Rising Star Agency for the three Duelists. She was now a bit drunk.

"And don't you think you have enough drink, Miss Akako?" Aiko asked.

"Don't be ridiculous! I am fine like a bird!" She stated, growling as she raised her arms in the air before she fell over on her back, and went to dreamland.

And that my friend, it is the reason why a minor character is a minor character.

"Do not worry. I'll carry her to the room," Katsuo-sensai said as he picked her up, put her on his shoulder, and then carried her to her room.

"OK, then," Aiko said.

"Hey Yusuke." Haruka spoke.

"Yeah?" Yusuke asked as his mouth was full because of the food.

"Here is a gift from your parents," she said as she showed him a present decorated in a beautiful wrapper. It also had an envelope attached to it. He took the envelope off from the present, and opened the present first. He unwrap it completely, revealing the gift to be a small box.

"What is it?" He wondered aloud as he opened a box. His eyes widened, like a young kid at a candy store. "Woah! I got some new cards!"

"Nice dude!" Aiko exclaimed.

"That's good to hear," Sasuke said.

"Congratulations, Yusuke." Kuro cheered.

Suddenly, Yusuke hugged Haruka, surprising her and everyone as she blushed a bit when he hugged her.

"Thank you, Haruka! You are the best!" He hugged her for few more seconds before he zipped away to his private room to check out his new cards. Haruka stood still, trying to process what had just happened.

"Did you see her face, Dude? I think there is something going on between them." Aiko whispered to Sasuke.

"Maybe." He replied.

Well, if you guys want to know, she does have a diary that says….

Haruka jumped in and unleashed rounds of slapping at yours truly.

"And that is why narrator should be narrating, not commenting on other people." Haruka stated as she smiled innocently while yours truly laid in defeat with his face all severed, like I was stung by multiple bees.

Ooooohhh…

Meanwhile, Yusuke was in his room, carefully putting his stack of new cards on the floor. He then opened the envelope to read a letter inside of it. He took out the letter, and read it.

"Dear Yusuke,

Your mother, grandfather, and your sister, Yuri and I are doing fine. You don't need to worry about us, if you are. Just continue your career to become a Pro Duelist. The present that this letter attached to is a little gift from me and your mother. Use it well.

Love,

Dad."

Yusuke grinned as he wiped a bit of tear from his eyes. He looked at the new cards with bright, joyful eyes that included some new Pendulum Cards, Spell, Trap, and other kinds of cards. He took out his Main Deck, and analyzed it and rearranged it.

-1 Day Later-

"Welcome, folks! Welcome to the first day of the Duel City Tournament, Nya!"

Out on the street, a young woman was broadcasting herself to all the people who were currently watching the TV.

"This is yours truly, Miko Neko, and I will be the host announcer for the rest of the duration of this grand event, Nya!" She exclaimed cheerfully as she winked at the camera.

She wore a blue and green pop idol dress, blue high-heels, and black cat ears. She also had a dark-colored cat tail, and even wore cat paw gloves. Another thing to mention was that she looked physically attractive and cute that may make some girls jealous. From what I heard, she is a famous idol TV announcer.

"As your host announcer, I'll be broadcasting and showing all kinds of crazy and fun duels that will be taking place here at Tokyo, Japan, Nya! As you can see on your screen right now…" A map appeared next to her in the corner of the television monitor. "This red outline marks the area where the dueling is authorized for the tournament. On the bit of technical side, which I really don't understand a whole a lot about because well…I'm cat and all, this authorized area has D-Wave Projectors installed in multiple locations in the premises, which will help to make dueling even more fun I heard, Nya. Not to mention that we have a lot of Duelists around the world who came here to participate this grand event, Nya! Not to mention that this year, the grand, powerful and handsome King of Duelists, Atsushi Kai and the Four Horsemen of Dueling are also in the tournament as well! To you guys from our local home and abroad, do your best, Nya! Now with all that said, let's go and find some exciting Duels to see, Nya!"

Yusuke, Aiko, Sasuke, and Haruka were in their local district, which is part of the authorized area of Tokyo.

"Alright, this is it! This is really happening," Yusuke said excitedly as he jumped up to high height like a certain video game character.

"Relax, Yusuke. You'll get tired out soon if you jump like that too much," Haruka said.

"The best thing about this tournament is that if you want to go to another area within the authorized area, the bus ride is free!" Aiko pointed out with a happy face.

"For participant only, including one or two guests that may accompany with you, if you want to." Sasuke explained further.

"Yeap!" Aiko nodded before she turned to Haruka. "So Haruka, you're sticking with Yusuke for the rest of the tournament preliminaries, right?"

"Yes." She replied before she forwarded her head to Aiko's hear. "I don't want him to wonder off lost besides that he's the one who invited me to go with him."

"I see." She whispered back as they looked at him being all giddy with his eyes sparkled like stars.

"Well good luck with that. We're going on our own separate ways, but we'll keep each other in touch by SMS," Aiko said, showing off her Smartphone for emphasis.

"Right." Haruka nodded in response.

"Hey Haruka! Are you ready to go? The bus is already here!" Yusuke notified her as he had his one foot in the bus as he was going to climb on-board.

"Oh!" She noticed. "I gotta go now. See you guys later, and good luck!" Haruka ran to catch up with him on the bus. Good thing the bus driver was kind enough to wait for her. They drove away as Aiko waved her hand to them to say goodbye while Sasuke just watched them go by.

'Good luck to you three." Sasuke thought. He knows Yusuke's secret.

Yusuke and Haruka arrived at Shibuya; one of the authorized areas for the tournament. "Cool! We're at Shibuya!" Yusuke shouted out with excitement as both his arms were raised out.

There were a lot of people walking everywhere. He even noticed some duel monsters dunking out in fights.

"Woah! Haruka, look over there! There is a Duel going on!" Yusuke pointed at the crowds of people whose were watching the Duel. It was between Cursed Dragon and Gaia the Fierce Knight.

As Yusuke was about to ran off to see the Duel, he was stopped by Haruka with her holding his collar behind him. He was still running his legs.

"Relax, Yusuke! Plus, it is best to focus on finding any vacant Duelist who wants to Duel." She suggested.

"Right," he said as he relaxed and then she let go of him. "I have to collect 5 key cards from another Duelists by dueling the other participants, right?"

"That's right. If you collect all five and combine it with the one you own, then it will create into a map where it show the location to move on to the next round of the tournament, but remember that if you lose the key card that you own, you're out of the tournament." Haruka explained. "You got all of that?"

"Of course!" He pumped his fist. "OK, time to find some Duelists!"

Yusuke ran off to look for his opponent, leaving Haruka behind. "Hey! Wait up! Don't go running off without me!" She yelled as she chased after him.

"Yusuke, wait up…" She was tired from the running as she panted.

"Man, finding other Duelist is harder than I thought." Yusuke thought aloud as he scratched behind his head.

"Man, I wish you can like share that energy of yours to me so I can chase…"

"Excuse me, young lady." A voice stated as someone was poking behind Haruka.

"Huh?" She turned around, and saw nobody.

"Strange, I thought someone was behind me," she said.

"Ummm, Haruka…there is a guy just below you." Yusuke pointed out.

She looked down, and saw a short man in a brown monk outfit, but his back was hunchback. His nose was sharp and his eyes were blue. He had a bold spot with some curly brown hair around the side. Although, the most prominent physical feature were his eyes! One eye was bigger than the other.

"Kyah!" Haruka jumped as she landed over Yusuke's arms, like how Scooby Doo does when he gets scared.

"Oh, I am sorry to scare you, young lady. Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied as she got off from Yusuke. "I'm sorry to scream like that."

"Not at all, young lady. It's normal for people to scream," he said, grinning at her.

"Yeah. I guess you are right about that." She giggled nervously.

"So, what's up, sir? Lost or something?" Yusuke asked.

"Oh no, I am not lost at all. My name is Greg Quasimodo from Paris, oui oui. I am both a humble monk who wants to spread the Love of God on my travels and also…dedicated man to the art of Dueling." Greg introduced.

"Wait? Did you mention Dueling?" Yusuke asked as he walked up closer to the man. "I'm a Duelist, too. Are you participating in Duel City?"

"Oui oui, or in Japanese, Hai. Yes, I am!" He exclaimed, nodding his head.

"Sweet! Then, let's have a Duel right now! I've been looking for someone to Duel for the tournament, and good thing we ran into you, Greg." Yusuke decided as he immediately activated his Duel Disk. "Oh! By the way, my name's Yusuke Kaminari from Tokyo!"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Kaminari. I believe it is fate that we meet and Duel here. Shall we?" He stated as he revealed his green D-Ring, transforming it into a green Duel Disk, which had interesting design. For the blade, it was shaped of a gargoyle's wing while the head of the disk had a demonic face of a gargoyle.

"Dueling Mode, initiate! Duelist Searching…Duelist Found! D-Wave Field, activate!" Both Duel Disks pulsed out a wave, creating the proper dueling field. The projector nearby the premise activated it as it released out the wave.

"Cool looking Duel Disk you have there, Greg." Yusuke commented.

"Thank you," he said.

Just then, some people who were walking by noticed them as they gathered around. At the same time, the TV station van came by, and stopped.

"Nya, nya? What is this?" Miko Neko noticed when she was looking out the window. She and her crew came out as they approached near the Duel. The camera had his camera ready as he aimed it at Miko.

"Hello again, folks! Just in the nick of time, I'm currently at a Duel that has just started, Nya. According to my trusty app on my Smartphone here, which is connected to the Duel City's system, this Duel is between Yusuke Kaminari and Greg Quasimodo, Nya!" She announced. "Let's watch how this Duel will proceed!"

"DUEL!" They both yelled out, starting their first round of the tournament.

Yusuke vs. Greg: 4000 LPs.

"As the golden rule states, the one who asked for the Duel goes first," Greg said as he drew five cards from his Deck. "I shall make the first move."

"Bring it on, Greg!" Yusuke exclaimed as he smiled.

"Oui." He responded. "First, I play the Spell Card; Terraforming. This card allows me to add 1 Field Spell from my Deck to my hand."

One card slid out of his Deck before he took it. "Then, I play the very Field Spell I got. I activate the Field Spell; Notre Dame of Empowerment!"

The D-Wave Projectors did their thing. They pulse out more waves to change the surrounding areas. A Notre Dame Church rose out of the ground behind Greg. It looked exactly like the real one in Paris, France. The sky turned red, and the gargoyle statues decorated on the church have glowing red eyes.

"Wooooohhh…." Everyone awed.

"Amazing, Nya! Thanks to the new D-Wave Projectors installed near the premise as we speak, it manipulated the surrounding area to change into the Field Spell, Nya! I just wonder what this field spell can actually do, Nya." Miko Neko wondered with big, curious eyes like a cat.

"Then, I normal summon my trusty monster, Battle Gargoyle!" Greg called out his first monster. The very monster that Yusuke owns flew down from the red sky before it landed strongly on the ground, making the ground shake a bit.

"Woah! You have Battle Gargoyle, too!?" Yusuke asked with surprised look.

"Yes, indeed. Where I am from, people call me the Keeper of the Gargoyles." Greg explained. "Via her card effect, I Special Summon Battle Gargoyle Lady to the field as well!"

The same female gargoyle warrior flew down from the sky, too. It stood next to Battle Gargoyle. "For every monster on my side of the field that has 'Gargoyle' in its name, my dear lady gains 200 Attack points." His monster's ATK increased to 1800.

"But, that is not all! My Field Spell allows the Gargoyle monster on either player's side of the field to gain 300 ATK and Defense points." He stated as his two monsters became stronger with the boost up. "I set one card and end my turn. It is now your turn, good sir Yusuke."

"Sweet! Let's do this thing! My turn, I draw!" He stated excitedly as he drew his card. "Oh, what a coincidence!"

Everyone looked at Yusuke while the cameraman zoomed in at him. "Nya, I know what that facial expression means, Nya! It looks like Yusuke's up to something…"

"I summon my own Battle Gargoyle to the field!" He declared as his monster flew down like Greg's BG.

"Oh!" Gregy realized. "You're also the Keeper of the Gargoyle, too?"

"I don't know about that, but I guess so. Anyway, check this out! Via her card effect, I also Special Summon my very own Battle Gargoyle Lady!" He added as his female gargoyle warrior appeared, too.

"Incredible, Nya!" Miko Neko jumped in excitement. "Yusuke summoned his own Gargoyle monsters to his side of the field! It looks like to me folks that we're gonna have a Battle Royale of Gargoyles today, Nya-Nya!"

"Then, I equip Battle Gargoyle with Axe of Despair to increase its ATK by 1000 points," he said as his monster equipped with an axe. "It's time to battle! I attack your Battle Gargoyle with my Battle Gargoyle and I also activate its effect. During the Battle Phase, I can target 1 monster to increase its ATK by 500 points! And I choose the one and only Battle Gargoyle!"

"What a power, but I shall activate my Battle Gargoyle's effect, too, so that it gains 500 ATK!" Greg decided quickly as his monster increased its own ATK to 2400.

Yusuke's Battle Gargoyle had his arm muscle increased in two-fold, with its ATK at now 3400. Their Gargoyles duked out in a short brawl, but Yusuke's Battle Gargoyle was stronger as it overwhelmed Greg's own monster and slashed it in half, and then it exploded.

"Oui, oui! My beautiful Battle Gargoyle!" Greg moaned.

Greg's LP: 3000

"Woohoo! It looks my Battle Gargoyle is the real one here." He stated while pumping his fist in the air for emphasis.

"I congratulate you for that, Yusuke, but the destruction of my monster opens up a new opportunity for me. Oh praise the lord!" Greg stated.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" He asked.

"Behold, this is the power of Notre Dame of Empowerment!" He spoke loudly. "When a Gargoyle monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, the owner may add 1 Battle Gargoyle monster from the Deck to the hand. So, I shall do just that!"

He added an unknown Gargoyle monster card to his hand as he grinned. "You're formidable opponent, my young, naïve friend, Yusuke, but this is just the beginning!"
