The idea for this story is based on 'The Dimensional Drifter' by 'Hane no Zaia'. It is a very good story which is very character story driven, however it is kind of redundant with parts and very lacking on the card games. Oh well.
As I said, this is INSPIRED by that stories concept but it is VERY different.
In this story Jaden, a few years after GX Season 4, gets sent to the world of Arc-V about six months after Yuya's father disappeared.
It will be following the story for Arc-V for a certain period, but I WILL be doing my own story after a certain point although I won't tell you WHEN things start to change or HOW.
And yes, there WILL be pairings... and here are what they are(!):
Jaden/ Yoko (Yuya's mother)/ Yubel
Yuya/ Yuzu/ Serena
Yuto/ Matsumi (the Gem-Knight fusion girl)
I will not say how it happens or anything, so you will just have to wait to see what happens.

Hero of the Pendulum
Chapter 1: Here We Go Again
A man of 20 with brown wild and spiky hair, which was a burnt orange/brown on the top, stood against a monster of a man. The duel coloured haired man also had mismatched eyes: the right was a deep, powerful orange and the other was a bright shinning teal. He was wearing a black shirt and a brown long sleeve jacket, having outgrown his famous red and white blazer last year, along with black jeans and brown combat boots, on his arm was a Slifer Red Duel Academy Issue DuelDisc. He was Jaden Yuki, traveling hero. And, once again, he was dueling to save the world
His opponent was wearing a black robe and had dragon wings and claws, his opponent's field being covered by powerful monsters
Opponent: 3000 LP
Hand: 2
Opponents field:
Monster Zone: Five-Headed Dragon (ATK: 5000)/ B. Skull Dragon (ATK: 3800)/ Red Eyes Black Dragon (ATK: 2400)/ Red Eyes Black Dragon (ATK: 2400)/ Curse of Dragon (ATK: 2000)
Spell Trap Zone: (Dragon Rage)
TURN: 9
Jaden had to flinch at what his opponent had, and when his Clayman was destroyed by a Red-Eyes and because of Dragon Rage he took damage
As the flames washed over him he nearly fell to his knees
Jaden: 1200 LP - 800 LP
Jaden Hand: 4
Monster Zone: (Empty)
Spell/trap Zone: (Face down) (face down) (face down)
"I activate all three of my face-downs!" Jaden called "Hero Signal, chained with Hero Blast and finally Threatening Roar! First, Threatening Roar stop's your Battle Phase. Second, Hero Blast allows me to take one Normal 'Elemental Hero' from my grave and add it to my hand! And the card I take back... is Neos!" Jaden called, pulling the space Elemental Hero from his grave "And now Hero Blast destroys every monster you control that has lower ATK than Neos!"
The ground around the masked man's monster's exploded, destroying the Curse of Dragon and two Red Eyes Black Dragon's "Damn you." the dragon-featured man growled
"And now Hero Signal allows me to summon a Level Four or lower E-Hero from my deck to replace Clayman. Come out, Bubbleman!" Jaden called, taking a card from his deck and having it hit the field
(Elemental Hero Bubbleman: Level: 4/ WATER/ Warrior/ ATK: 800/ DEF: 1200)
"And since Bubbleman is solo on the field, I draw two cards." Jaden continued, drawing two, which made his hand seven with Neos returning to his hand from Hero Blast
"It doesn't matter." the man scoffed "I shall defeat you and dragons shall rule! Turn end."
Opponent: 3000 LP
Hand: 2
Opponents field:
Monster Zone: Five-Headed Dragon (ATK: 5000)/ B. Skull Dragon (ATK: 3800)
Spell Trap Zone: (Dragon Rage)
TURN: 10
"Wow... you ARE nuts." Jaden muttered as he drew a card and smiled "Hey Yubel. I activate Pot of Greed, making my hand nine!"
"Draw all you want, your pathetic cards won't help you!" the man laughed
"My deck is NOT worthless!" Jaden glared "I activate Polymerzation, with this I will fuse together the Elemental Hero Neo and Yubel from my hand! Go, combine into Neos Wiseman!" the combination of Jaden's two Ace cards descended, it's wing's flapping
(Neos Wiseman: Level: 12/ LIGHT/ Spellcaster/ FUSION/ ATK: 3000/ DEF: 3000)
"So? You can't destroy any of my monsters!" the dragon lunatic laughed
"Oh really?" Jaden grinned "I discard the Neo Space Pathfinder from my hand to get a Neo Space from my deck, and now I will activate Neo Space to give Neos Wiseman an extra 500 ATK!"
The area around them began to shift, forming a multi-coloured area as a golden aura appeared around Neos Wiseman
Neos Wiseman: 3000 ATK - 3500 ATK
"Nice try, but not good enough." the dragon man laughed
"Which is why I activate the spell card Neos Burst!" Jaden called, reducing his hand to four "It is an equip spell that I equip to a Neos Fusion Monster, which Neos Wiseman just happens to be! It means my hand is visible, but the equipped monster gets 500 ATK for every Monster in my hand. But it can't be activated it I have more than four cards in my hand and Neos Burst is destroyed two turns after it is activated, but this will be the last turn."
This made the Dragon man take a step back, if Jaden's hand was all monsters his Neos Wiseman would be stronger than Five-Headed Dragon! "You... You're bluffing!" he said in fear
"Try me." Jaden grinned, revealing his hand, and the dragon man gasped
Elemental Hero Avian.
Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab.
Elemental Hero BladeEdge.
Winger Kuriboh.
Four monsters!
"No..." he muttered
"That's right!" Jaden called "Neos Wiseman, take an extra two thousand Attack Points on the house, and attack Five-Headed Dragon! NEO DEMON EYE!"
The demonic Hero nodded and it's third eye glowed, the eye firing an energy beam "Hyaaa!"
Neos Wiseman: 3500 ATK - 5500 ATK
The dragonman stumbled back as his monster exploded, Wiseman's LIGHT typing allowing it to destroy Five-Headed Dragon
Dragon man: 3000 LP - 2500 LP
"When Neos Wiseman destroys a monster, two interesting things happen." Jaden grinned "I gain Life Points equal to the destroyed Monsters Defense Points..." the Ex-Slifer was surrounded by a golden aura as his LP increased
Jaden LP: 800 LP - 5800 LP
"... but you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's Attack Points!" Jaden finished, Neos Wiseman firing a beam from it's forehead that hit the Dragon Man and made him scream in pain
Dragon man: 2500 LP - 0000 LP
"That's Game!" Jaden grinned, striking his familiar pose as the holograms faded away
"You... bastard..." the dragon man growled as his body began to fade away "I shall... have my... revenge...
"Like I haven't heard that before." Jaden scoffed
The dragonman glared, and began to chant
And a portal appeared behind Jaden
"Wait... WHAT?!" Jaden gasped as the portal began to suck him in
"FAREWELL!" the dragon man laughed "YOU WILL NEVER SEE YOUR WORLD AGAIN! AHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahaha..." the dragon man soon faded away, the portal closing as Jaden passed through it
"CRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPP!" Jaden screamed as he felt himself falling...

Jaden groaned as he stood up and looked around... he was suddenly in a hyper-advanced society "Great. Here we go again." he groaned as he stood up, his eyes changing from orange and teal so they where both now a soft brown and no longer glowing.
The now 20 year old looked around, noticing he was in the middle of a park... in the middle of a futuristic city!
"First time this has happened to us." a wise male voice said as a ghost appeared behind Jaden, the ghost being a teacher with permanently closed eyes and glassed
"You got that right Professor Banner." Jaden nodded
"We have entered another world." the demonic form of the Duel Spirit that resided inside Jaden's soul, Yubel, said as she appeared next to him
"Think we can meet up with Yusei?" Jaden joked/hoped
"Unlikely." Yubel scoffed "Besides, we are even further in the future than the time he would be alive. I'd say nearly a thousand years beyond."
"Damn." Jaden growled, face-palming "Just my luck." That was when he heard the sound of a kid crying and three kids laughing "Better check that out." he glared, taking off running to the source of the sound. Soon he arrived to see a a slightly strange sight. Not strange because it was three 14 year old's bullying a six or seven year old. No. It was their APPEARANCES that made him look in shock.
The first teen and blue hair with his fringe being bright red and curved up kinda like devil horns, and he looked like a stereotypical 'cool kid'
The second teen was wearing glasses and smart casual clothing, but his hair was purple with jagged green swirls
And the third looked like an over-muscled, for his age, 'tough guy' with silver hair and yellow streaks
The little kid was wearing an orange shirt with a blue star on the front, blue shorts, white and red trainers, a light blue crystal pendent, golden goggles with orange lenses and a large blue star over the right lens on his head and had red eyes and red hair with a green spiky fringe!
'The fuck is wrong with their hair?!' Jaden mentally gasped, his eyes shifting to orange and teal for a second to discover... yes, those where their natural hair colours
"The people of this world have weird hair." Yubel muttered, Jaden looking at her with a dead-panned look "What?"
"Whatever." Jaden sighed before he looked at the bullies and walked over, yelling "HEY!"
"Yea? What do you want?" Teen1 asked arrogantly with a small snarl
"You think you're such big guys for picking on a little kid huh?" Jaden glared at them, standing in front of the green and red haired child
"So what? He's the kid of the coward!" the lead teen scoffed
"MY DAD IS NOT A COWARD!" the green and red haired kid snapped
"I don't care who his father is." Jaden glared "I hate cowards who pick on kids."
"So, what'cha gonna do?" the second teen scoffed
"How about a duel?" Jaden grinned as his DuelDisk activated
"You're gonna use THAT antique?" the third kid scoffed as the three laughed
"Yep." Jaden nodded, feeling insulted "A classic is always a classic."
"Fine then, I'll kick your ass!" the third kid grinned
"By all means... try." Jaden grinned, his eyes turning into the duel colours for a second
"DUEL!" the kid called
"GET YOUR GAME ON!" Jaden called
Teen3: 4000
JadenL 4000
TURN: 1
"'Get your game on'? What a dork." Teen3 scoffed "I'll start!" he yelled, Jaden notecing he didn't draw a card
'The rules must be a bit different here.' he mused
"I'll summon Dark Blade... in Attack Mode!" Teen3 grinned as the black knight appeared
(Dark Blade: Level: 4/ DARK/ Warrior/ ATK: 1800/ DEF: 1500)
"I then place one card face down and end turn." Teen3 grinned
Teen 3:
LP: 4000
Hand: 3
Field: Dark Blade (ATK: 1800)
S/T Zone: (Face down)
TURN: 2
"My move!" Jaden called, drawing. He looked at his hand and smiled "Okay, first I activate two Spell Cards! Reinforcement of the Army and E-Emergency call! Reinforcement of the Army allows me to add one Level 4 or lower Warrior from my deck to my hand. Then E-Emergency lets me add one Elemental Hero from my deck to my hand! And with these I take Elemental Hero Avian and Elemental Hero Burstinatrix and add them to my hand."
"Elemental Heroes?" Teen2 muttered
"Next I summon, Elemental Hero Bubbleman in Attack Mode!" Jaden called, placing the card down
(Elemental Hero Bubbleman: Level: 4/ WATER/ Warrior/ ATK: 800/ DEF: 1200)
"What can THAT weakling do?!" Teen1 laughed
"He let's me draw twice when he is the only card on my field when he is summoned." Jaden said simply, doing just that. He then looked at his new cards and smiled wider, adding them to his hand "Now, I activate Double Fusion! I pay 500 Life Points and I can Fusion Summon twice!"
"Fusion Summon?" Teen2 muttered
"You send two monsters to the grave, from your hand or field, and you can Special Summon a monster from your Extra Deck." Teen1 said simply
"First I fuse Avian and Burstinatrix! Come out, my favourite Hero, Elemental Hero FlameWingman!" Jaden called, the two Heroes jumping into the swirling light and the lone dragon-armed Hero descended by himself
(Elemental Hero FlameWingman: Level: 6/ WIND/ Warrior/ FUSION/ ATK: 2100/ DEF: 1200)
Jaden: 4000 LP - 3500 LP
"And next, I fuse the FlameWingman with the Elemental Hero Sparkman in my hand to summon Elemental Hero Shinning FlareWingman!" Jaden continued, the FlameWingman merging with Sparkman to form Jaden's original mightiest monster
(Elemental Hero Shinning FlareWingman: LEVEL: 8/ LIGHT/ Warrior/ FUSION/ ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2100)
Jaden: 3500 LP - 3000 LP
"Following this, Shinning FlameWingman's ability activates! He gains 500 ATK for every Elemental Hero in the grave, and with four in there he gains a whopping 2000!" Jaden grinned as a shinnign aura surrounded Wingman
Elemental Hero Shinning FlareWingman: 2500 ATK - 3000 - 3500 - 4000 - 4500 ATK
"F... Forty five hundred Attack Points?!" Teen3 stuttered
"I then play R-Righteous Justice!" Jaden called, a large golden 'R' appearing on his field "I can now destroy one Spell or Trap for every Elemental Hero on the field! That means I can destroy two Spell or Traps and, luckily enough, you only have one."
"Damn it." Teen3 hissed as his facedown, Negate Attack, exploded "I'll still have Life Point's after your Attack though!"
"That's what you think." Jaden grinned
"What?" The kid asked in confusion
"Just wait and see. Now, Shinning FlareWingman, attack Dark Blade!" Jaden called, the mighty Hero being surrounded by white flames and charged
Dark Blade howled as he was engulfed in pain, and shattered like glass
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" the kid yelled as the winds of the explosion sent him tumbeling back
Teen3: 4000 LP - 1300 LP
"See. I still have Life Points." he grinned as he pulled himself up
"How did he do that?" Teen1 muttered "There is no Solid Vision field."
"That WOULD be true." Jaden countered "... if it wasn't for Shinning FlareWingman's special ability! You loose Life Point's equel to the ATK of the monster he just sent to the grave!"
"WHAT?!" Teen3 gasped as SFWM landed infront of him and let loose a giant golden light that burned
Teen3: 1300 LP - 0000 LP
JADEN: WIN!
"And that's Game!" Jaden grinned, doing his signature pose "Now, get lost."
"We won't forget this!" Teen1 snapped as he and his flunkies ran away
"Heh." Jaden smiled as he turned around to see the green/red haired kid looking up at him in amazement, drying tears staining his cheeks. Jaden knelt in front of the six year old and held out his hand "Hi, I'm Jaden Yuki. Who're you?"
"Y... Yuya Sakaki." the kid muttered slightly shyly
"Nice to meet you Yuya." Jaden smiled as he took the kids hand, his eyes widening as they flashed gold. The power of the Supreme King, effected by the dimensional travel, giving him glimpses of the future...
An older Yuya screaming with a black aura around him.
Cards that where half orange and half green.
Three people who looked like Yuya but with different eyes and different weird two toned hair colours
An older Yuya looking confident as he held two of those strange cards "I set my Scale 1 StarGazer Magician and my Scale 8 TimeGazer Magician to set the Pendulum Scale!" he then slammed them onto the DuelDisk he had, the monsters appearing on the field in pillars of light, a giant version of his pendent swaying between them rhythmically like a pendulum
Another Yuya, this one with black and purple hair instead of red and green, held his arm forwards and called "With my two Level 4 monsters I build the Overlay Network! XYZ SUMMON! Rank 4! Fangs of darkness, descend and destroy the foolish oppression! DARK REBELLION XYZ DRAGON!"
"Destroy... Destroy everything!" two different Yuya's chanted together, their eyes engulfed with light
"I activate Trump Witch's Pendulum Effect!" the older Yuya called "I fuse together Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and StarGazer Magician! Wielder of mysterious powers, become a bright light in the eye of the dragon! FUSION SUMMON! Come forth, arcane dragon wielder of ancient magic! Go, Level 8, RUNE-EYES PENDULUM DRAGON!"
"GAH!" Jaden gasped as he jumped back
"Are you okay?" Yuya asked, once again six years old and the visions had cleared
"Strange." Yubel muttered, seeing the vision as well
"Yea. I'm fine." Jaden nodded "Why where they picking on you, what was that about your dad?"
"My Dad's the Champ." Yuya nodded in confidence before he looked down sadly "But... But he... he disappeared before a big match... and now everyone is being mean about him."
"Forget about them then." Jaden scoffed "Worry about what YOU think of your Dad. Did he give you this pendent?" Jaden was now looking at the light blue crystal with a smile
"Yea." Yuya nodded
"Then you treasure it, become as good if not better than your Dad, and show them that he isn't someone to mock!" Jaden grinned, flicking the gem lightly but felt some form of static spark through his finger as he did so
"AH!" Yubel gasped as she felt herself nearly fall to the ground, something she did NOT normally do
"Are you okay Yubel?" Banner asked
"Yes. That energy was just strange." Yubel nodded
"Mister... who is that behind you?" Yuya suddenly asked "And is she okay?"
"Huh?" Jaden asked in confusion and looked behind him... realising that no one was close to them... which meant... "You can see Duel Spirits?" he muttered
"What are Duel Spirits?" Yuya asked as he tilted her head
"Looks like there is someone else out there that can see the Spirits as well." a female voice said. Looking up Jaden saw a woman that looked to be about 25 with blonde hair. Her hair was fairly long, ending at about the middle of her back, in a ponytail and there was a small orange streak in her fringe on both sides. Her eyes where green and she had these pale/creamy lips with some shiny lipstick. She was wearing a light blue/green shirt that was rolled up to her elbows, the shirt holding back a sizeable chest, and she had several gold bands around her left wrist. She also wore tight dark blue jeans and orange, pointed toed, slip on shoes "I'm Yoko Sakaki." she greeted
"Jaden Yuki." Jaden smiled in greeting 'She's kinda hot.' he thought mentally
"Thank you for protecting my son Jaden, why don't you come stay around our place for dinner?" Yoko suggested, noticing the time
"Sure, why not." Jaden shrugged
"Can we have pancakes for dinner Mom?!" Yuya asked excitedly
"No no mam, I can't do that." Jaden smiled "I don't want to intrude."
"No Yuya, you had those last night." Yoko glared
"Aw." he pouted
"Besides, tonight is fried shrimp." Yoko finished, as if Yuya hadn't said anything. Jaden gasped, his eyes widening at the name of his favourite food
"Oh great." Yubel groaned
"Fried shrimp?" Jaden gasped "Okay then Yuya's big sister, you've got a deal!"
"Oh you're so sweet." Yoko chuckled, blushing slightly as the three headed off to the Sakaki's home
*An hour later*
Yoko giggled as she saw her son and her guest eating savagely, like starving machines. They looked so similar, some could mistake them for being related. "So, Jaden, you seem new in town." Yoko commented
"Yep." Jaden grunted through mouthfuls
"Ignore him, he's a bit of a pig." Yubel muttered
"It is okay." Yoko smiled "Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name miss..."
"I am Yubel." the old Spirit nodded in greeting
"It is nice to meet you Yubel." Yuya cheered
"So, Jaden, where are you from?" Yoko asked "It has been years since Yuya and I had met another who can see Duel-Spirits, Yuya getting the ability from me hereditary."
"A... long way away." Jaden sighed, putting his food down "But it doesn't matter too much. I'm a bit of a drifter, I flout around and help people as best I can."
"Like a super hero!" Yuya gasped
"Yea, just like that." Jaden chuckled
"So you have no where to stay?" Yoko asked with a raised eyebrow
"Not really." Jaden shrugged
"Then you're staying here!" Yoko said firmly
"I can't do that Yoko, you've already done more than enough!" Jaden argued back... only for more fried shrimp to slide onto his plate "Well... when you put it like that...
"You need money to right?" Yoko asked
"If he wishes to eat and have new cloths." Yubel dead-paned
"There is an opening at YouShowDuel, you should try out tomorrow." Yoko nodded
"Me? A teacher?" Jaden chuckled, looking over at the ghost of Professor Banner and smiled "I guess I could give it a shot."
"Er... Jaden?" Yuya muttered
"Yes Yuya?" Jaden asked back with a grin
"Can you... tell us about some of your Duels?" Yuya asked hopefully, making Jaden's grin grow
"Sure." he nodded happily
Yoko smiled as Jaden went off and span them the tales of his adventures over the years...
*Later that night*
Jaden and Yoko smiled as Yuya slept happily in his bed, the two setting up a futon in his room since the Sakaki family's spare room was for all the stray animals Yoko brought in
"Excuse me, Yoko." Jaden said
"Yes?"
"Yuya mentioned his father was the Champ but I haven't seen him. What happened?"
Yoko looked down sadly and said two words "He's gone." she muttered before she left the room
"Wow... you fucked up." Yubel muttered
"Yea, I guess." Jaden shrugged, looking at Yuya "What do you make of those visions Yubel?"
"We are needed here." Yubel said simply "This kid is heading for shit, and he needs out help to make sure he's ready."
"But we don't know what the problem is." Jaden said back
"I know." Yubel muttered
Jaden sighed and grabbed the red block Yoko had bought for him on the way back when she discovered he hadn't had one, she said it was a D-Pad XII... which was apparently the DuelDisk everyone used.
He loved his DuelDisk, it was everything to him as it was a moment to his time at DuelAcadamy just like his jacket. But, if he was to blend in, he needed to update.
He would not throw it away, as long as he stayed here it would be mounted to the wall.
He would never forget.
Slowly, he reluctantly took his deck from the Slifer Red Academy DuelDisk he had carried for the last... he didn't remember. Two years? Three? Four? It didn't matter to much now. After the deck was out, he placed the red iPad looking device onto his arm and was surprised when the straps locked around his arm and the deck section extended followed by the extra deck holder and a holographic gold energy blade appeared.
The blade was clearly the 'disk' part, and so he slid his deck in place before putting his ExtraDeck into the section in back and took it off, the parts retracting.
"Sweet." he muttered, nodding in apparition before he started messing with the 'D-Pad'. Turns out it was like a super-awesome and high-tech iPhone! That got Jaden exited as he looked up everything that had happened the last few hundred years.
He quickly found out about the new forms of summoning as well. Synchro, which he had seen Yusie use that time they battled Paradox together alongside Yugi Moto, but Xyz. He quickly researched it, watching a few videos to understand it and he was amazed at what they could do. Over the years he had further evolved his deck into an 'Ultimate Hero Deck' but all of this was ridiculous! And he was disappointed to see all the E-Heroes cards had been discontinued and how they had been no new ones beyond the ones he possessed
"That is a downer." Yubel muttered
"You can say that again." Jaden nodded... before he noticed the glow of Yuya's pendent "Huh?" he slowly reached out, ready to touch it
"Jaden! Be careful!" Yubel snapped... before Jaden touched it and a bright glow encased the two. Soon it died down, Yubel panting and Jaden completely fine
"See, nothing to worry about!" Jaden grinned, then noticing the screen of his D-Pad was flashing
"NEW CARDS INSERTED!" it read
"What?" Jaden muttered, reactivating it and looking at his deck... HE HAD NEW CARDS! Synchro's, Tuners and Xyz Hero's! It was amazing!
"That pendent is powerful." Yubel muttered
"Yep." Jaden nodded "I am sure it is key to the future events."
Yubel nodded, before the two got to work as they planned designed strategies to utilize these new cards... noticing two of them where blank and how Yubel felt a bit fat all of a sudden...
And there we go!
That's Chapter 1 and I have to say, I'm really proud with it.
I hope all you like this and will follow it, maybe check out my other work.
