0713MM: Hey guys! I welcome you to my next Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal story!

Yuma: This involves me and my friends getting into the Astral World, correct?

Astral: 0713MM doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal.

Chapter 1: A New Enemy Emerges

As the gang made it through the portal to the Astral World, the sky began to shake, as if someone, or something was messing with it. Yuma pointed toward the blue light.

"There!" he pointed. "That's the Astral World." Vector nodded.

"Indeed." Vector said in agreement. Nash and Marin, (aka, Reginald and Rio Kastle) turned to look at Yuma.

"I wonder why the Astral beings called us for help." Rio said. Shark shrugged.

"Whatever the reason may be, whatever is trying to destroy the Astral World will be stopped by us." Shark said. Dumon smiled at Rio. Rio turned to face Dumon. She smiled back at him. Both of them began to blush,so they turned away from each other before anyone spotted.

"Sharks' right." Yuma said. Kite was leading everyone through the long, gold portal on Orbital 7. Mizar trailed right behind Kite.

"Well, whatever it is, we'll squash it." Girag said, cracking his knuckles. (Don't ask how he can possibly do that in midair). Quinton, Quattro and Trey were behind Yuma and Tori.

"Girag has a point." Quattro said. "Whatever this thing is, we'll squash it into next week!"

"It won't be that simple, Quattro." Quinton warned. Quattro rolled his eyes.

"I know, but still." Quattro retorted. Trey looked at his brothers.

"Well, I guess Yuma has a reason for bringing all of us." Trey said.

"Indeed, Trey." Trey, Quattro and Quintons' father, Vetrix said. Yuma turned to face Astral, who floating beside him.

"Hey Astral." Yuma started to say. "What do you think this new enemy could possibly be?" Astral turned to look at Yuma.

"I heard Eliphas and Ena talking about some sort of dark spirit, or energy." Astral complied. Yuma nodded.

"So, are we going to stop it, or what?" asked Quattro. Quinton nodded.

"Indeed." he said, to answer his brothers' question.

To the Balcony where Eliphas and Ena are standing...

Ena and Eliphas stood still, watching the dark cloud cover the sky. Eliphas took out his deck and stared at it.

"Hmm..." he muttered. Ena turned her head so she was facing Eliphas.

"What is it?" she asked.

"I'm not sure." Eliphas replied. Thunder rumbled in the blue sky of the Astral World.

"I hope Yuma, Astral and the rest of there gang get here soon." Ena said. "I don't think even the two of us combined could take down this monstrosity." Eliphas nodded in agreement.

"Indeed." he said. He looked up at the sky again and a bunch of yellow lights began streaming across the sky.

"There almost here." Eliphas said. Ena nodded.

"Good." she said. "I'll go welcome them." A dark laugh could be heard throughout the city they were watching. Ena looked down and saw nothing.

"What the-" she started to say. Then a dark form appeared in front of her and Eliphas. Eliphas growled.

"Ah, the Will of the Astral World." the dark figure sneered. "It's been a long time, Eliphas."

"Who are you?" Eliphas snarled. The dark figure laughed.

"You don't regconize me?" he asked, hurt by the fact that neither Eliphas or Ena regconized him. Eliphas shook his head.

"Why would I regconize you?" he asked. The dark figure laughed.

"You seem to not realize that I'm the one infecting this place." the dark figure laughed. "Yuma and his group of friends have fallen into my trap."

"What trap?" asked Eliphas, his eyes narrowing. The dark figure laughed again, then he snapped his fingers and black lightning came out of the sky, almost hitting Eliphas and Ena.

"Do not question me!" the dark figure snarled. Eliphas stepped back in alram.

"Okay." Eliphas replied. "So, what do you plan to do this world?" The dark figure looked around him. He then began to laugh.

"What do you think? I'm going to destroy the Astral World!" the dark figure chuckled. "Along with the pathetic Human World, also known as Earth." Eliphas snarled, then charaged. The dark figure smirked and side-stepped the charge. Eliphas nearly fell off the balcony if it wasn't for the fence. The dark figure chuckled again and opened his cloak, showing Ena and Eliphas what he had. Ena gasped.

"Are those-?" she began to ask.

"Yup, they are the Chaos powers of the eight Barian Emperors, along with their respective Over-Hundred and Chaos Over-Hundred Numbers." the dark figure replied.

"How did you get them?" Eliphas asked. The dark figure took out an black orb from inside his cloak and showed it to Ena and Eliphas. Both Eliphas and Enas' eyes widened with shock.

"The spirit of Don Thousand?" they both asked. The dark figure nodded.

"Correct." he replied. "Don Thousand was originally a part of me, so its only natural he returns to me." He looked up at the sky, the yellow lights coming closer and closer to the Astral World. He then looked down at the Over-Hundred and Chaos Over-Hundred Numbers.

"I'll use the remaining power of Chaos from these eight Over-Hundred Numbers and create my own Emperors." the dark figure chuckled. He turned to face the sky, then back to facing Eliphas and Ena.

"It seems that your friends will be here soon. Well, I'll make sure they don't get here just yet." the dark figure chuckled and snapped his fingers.

Back to Yuma Tsukamo and his gang of friends...

"We're almost there!" shouted Yuma. Then, thunder rumbled around them. Kite turned to face Yuma and the others.

"Look out!" Kite shouted as a bolt of black lightning came out of nowhere and blasted the Barian Emperors, (except Mizar), Yuma, Tori and Astral of course, along with Kite and Hart. Trey watched as Yuma fell.

"Yuma!" Trey shouted in panic. Quinton came up next to Trey.

"There's nothing we can do, Trey." Quinton said softly. Trey nodded.

"Right now, we have to get to the Astral World." Vetrix said. "I'm sure Yuma and the others will be fine." The only Barian Emperor who was still with them was Mizar.

"I hope Yuma and the rest of them that fell will make it to the Astral World." Mizar said. Kite turned to face Mizar. He nodded.

"Yeah." Kite said shortly. Soon, Kite, Mizar, and Orbital landed into the Astral World. (Well, a part of it, actually). Kite looked around. Mizar did the same. Quinton, Quattro, Tey and Vetrix came down a well.

"Hmm..." Kite muttered. (Somehow, Hart had come along on the journey to the Astral World. Kite had refused at first, but then eventually gave in). Hart landed just as softly as his brother.

"Kite." Quinton started to say. "Me, Quattro, Trey and Vetrix will go ahead. You, Hart and Mizar catch up when you're ready." Kite nodded.

"Alright, Quinton." Kite said. And with that, Quinton, Quattro, Trey and Vetrix begin to walk ahead, and they disappeared.

"It looks so peaceful here." Hart said. Kite and Mizar turned to look at the young boy.

"Yeah, it does." Mizar agreed. Kite took out his deck and looked at it. Mizar did the same. Hart looked at their surroundings.

"Well, wherever the rest of the gang ended up, let's hope they landed in the Astral World as well." Mizar said after a short pause. Kite nodded.

"Let's hope so." Kite agreed.
