Yu-Gi-Oh!
Duels of the Actillian
Episode One
Kyle
In the night sky high above the clouds, with stars and a moon high above. Hidden in the darkness of the night, a swirling black vortex appeared. It swirled around for a few minutes till someone had leaped out of it. That someone is a six feet and four inches tall, and he wore a red and white winter jacket with a black shirt underneath, a blue jeans with a brown belt, and black winter boots. He has a winter hood up, and considering it is night, his face is hidden in darkness. He also has a black backpack on his back.
His face may be hidden, but he realizes one thing, he is very high in the sky. Hidden within the dark of his hood, his hidden eyes were widening in shock and fear. And the vortex had then vanished from sight.
"OH CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDD!" he screamed as he plummeted downwards. He was waving his arms and legs around as he falls straight through the clouds.
He continues to fall and scream till he stops as he saw that far below were dots of yellow lights. Then as he came out below of the clouds, he saw that it was a city. Seeing it brought joy to his heart, for it is a modern kind of city.
"Oh sweet merciful mother," he said as he felt joy, but he then realizes as he came closer. He yelled, "And I'm going to bloody die!"
As he reaches a thousand feet from the ground point, he realizes one thing he forgotten. When he remembered, he shouted, "BARRIER!"
He was then surrounded by a glowing white light wall, forming a sphere with him inside. He then sighs with relief as he relaxes within, but it didn't help the fact that he can't see through it.
Then eventually there was a sound of a slam and something outside of the barrier breaking off. But since it counts as landing, the barrier slowly faded. Just to reveal that the fall still continues, with broken bricks of a building roof falling with him.
"Dang it!" he yelled as he falls, but was saved, by landing in a full dumpster, while stones of the broken bricks fall around him, either on the inside with him or on the outside.
After a few minutes, two hands slowly came out and grabbed the edge of dumpster. Then slowly pulls out to reveal his head, the hood was off to reveal short dark brown hair and goatee, brown eyes, and eyeglasses. But from the dumpster, there is a banana peel on his head, brown gunk on his cheek, and steak bone in his hair.
He looked disgusted, but tried to look at the bright side, "At least I was already stinky with sweat from the last world. Thank you dumpster, for saving my life."
Then the dumpster lid slowly falls and crash on his head and slammed on his fingers. "OUCH!" he yelled in pain from within, now he ticked off and sore. He struggles a little and managed to pull his fingers in.
"Damn you stupid dumpster," mumble the human, sounded really ticked off. There were sounds of grumbling till the lid slowly opened with one hand, and the human started to climb out. Once he was out and on his feet, his whole body was covered in junk and stuff that was from the dumpster.
"This is the most disgusting thing I had ever experience," said the human, started to take off the disgusting junk. As he do, he remembered one thing, "Well, in comparison to the Friday Senior Initiation in High School."
After a while, the junk is off his body, but he was still in a need for a bath. But there is one thing he wants to know, he walks out of the alleyway just to see the street. Once there, he saw the people who are walking on the sidewalk and cars going down the road.
There are three positive things that came in his mind, he said quietly to himself, "Modern City, Humans, and regular vehicles." He was grinning, till he saw three things that wiped the grin off his face. "Strange hairstyles, real duelling disks on left arms, and Seto Kaiba. I'm in Yu-Gi-Oh," he quietly said to himself.
He had saw a black limo drove by with a back window open and saw the guy sitting in there the moment after he said duelling disks.
The human slowly pulls back, turns to face a wall of a building, and banged his head against the wall. He rested his head against it, and quietly cried to himself, "So damn close! Just so damn close!" He slowly lowered down to his knees, with his head against the wall.
Then he took in the positive, "Well I still have thirty days," he then slowly smiled as he got up. "And I'm actually in one of my favourite shows." The moment he said that, he gasped in shock, "And I'm here without my cards collection!" He face-palmed and falls to the ground on his backpack, at least his backpack saved his back.
He remains there for a few minutes, and then he sat up. His cheeks stained with a few tears, but he became serious, trying to toughen up. "First things first, find a suitable location for a good bath," he said, he gets up, than he goes and puts the hood up and leaves the alleyway. He kept his hands in his dirty jacket pockets, and tries to keep his face hidden.
He walks off, going down the sidewalk. And when he goes pass a few people, they instantly either look for a garbage can to throw up or cover their noses in disgust. The guy chuckles lightly in embarrassment as he goes.
After a long while of walking through the streets, with a total of forty-five people pinching their noses, thirty-two going to garbage cans or using something to throw-up in, ten faints, and three cops stopping him and he gave the excuse of being thrown into the trash and he's heading home to have a very long shower.
The cops believed him, and were eager to get away from him. But there is still one big problem, he's new to the town, he doesn't have a place to live in, and has no place to take a good bath.
Then in pure luck, and a little help from a city map; he came across a big river that is connected to the ocean. No one around this area, he quickly goes down the hill and stood on the flat stone area beside the river.
He silently takes off his backpack and sets it down on the ground. He kept his clothes on, for one fact; his clothes need a wash as much as he needs one himself.
"Time to get rid of this damn stench!" he then takes a few steps back, than he ran forward and leap out and splash down in the water. He went deep, than he swam back up till his head came out of the water.
The water was very cold, but thankfully he was still wearing his clothes. But he did forget to take off his eyeglasses, but they stayed on. 'Best get used to this, what if I fall into an ocean next time?' he mentally asked himself, because that was still possible. He recalls all the times he had fell from great heights.
He swam over to the side where he jumped from, and he slowly climbed out. He felt cold and wet, covered in drench clothes. He takes off each clothes till the point he is only wearing wet boxers and his drench clothes on the stone ground. He wiped his eyeglasses till he could see through it just fine.
Feeling the cold of the air, he shivers, and mentally kicked himself for not thinking things through. But just as he curled up in a ball as he hugged himself for warmth, he looked at the positive side of this.
"Well, I'm clean and stench free anyways," he quietly said to himself, till he saw his backpack. As he looks at it, a sudden ding rang in his mind, which he slowly smiled.
He reaches for his backpack, which still has the stench. The moment he smelled it, he felt like he was going to throw up in disgust. He quickly moved his backpack away from him, "Did I really smell like that? I know I stank, but… yuck!"
He then took a deep breath, and moved the backpack close to him. He then opens it, and reaches in and pulls out his notebook and pencil. He flips through the pages of a written chronicle of his journal so far, with a few pictures along with lines of certain things. He continues to flip through till the point he reached an empty page.
He then took up his pencil with his right hand, and started to write into it. He writes a few sentences till he finished with a grin. He grins and spoke one word, "Towel."
In front of him, a red towel suddenly appeared in a glowing light and settle down onto the ground. He put down his notebook and pencil, and takes hold of the towel, and uses it on himself to dry. Once he manage to dry himself, he turns to look at his clothing, and spoke after memorizing one line that he had written.
"All my clothes, jacket, shirt, jeans, boxers, boots, and backpack, all of them are wash, cleaned, dry, and stench free," he grins after speaking, and he watches as all his clothes were glowing, even the boxers he wore.
The moment the glow ended, he knew it worked because his boxers feel dry and clean. He then takes his clothes and started to put them on, while doing so he felt so very exhausted. After he had said that sentence, he felt energy drained.
Once he is fully clothed, he looks to his backpack. He then takes his notebook and pencil and puts them into his backpack. Then he picks up the towel, and lays it flat on the stone ground, and the backpack at one end.
He yawns as he then lies down on the towel, and rests his head on his backpack. He felt very tired, and quietly said, "Today is the start, thirty days from now I will be in the next world. Best take a good chance of the opportunity in this world. But for the night, I…rest…snore." He started to snore as he rest there, sleeping on the towel with the backpack as a pillow.
Within the realm of dreams; well just to one human who has started to dream. The same human who had arrived to the world, he appeared in an area of darkness, floating there. He looks around till the scene around him slowly revealed the city he was in.
"Show me, show me the location of the rift!" he calls outwards, expecting the old spell to work and show him.
Then he shot off in the speed of a missile, he headed straight out of the city, going over the ocean, and into another land. He went over the lands till the point he is now standing in front of a pyramid in the middle of a forest.
Being a fan of the show, he instantly recognized the pyramid. He asks himself, "The Pyramid of King Alexander? This must mean the timeline is between the Battle City and Capsule Monsters." Then he was taken into it, going through several hidden traps, when going through, he saw and memorized the traps, thinking that knowing this traps will be useful of getting through.
Soon he came to the central point area with two stairways, one that leads up to a door that he remembers that holds the power to control the entire world. And the other leads downwards and he then flew down those steps.
He then comes to a rather very large room, with one huge map covering the whole floor. This must be the bottom of the pyramid structure, for the room is so bloody huge. He then flew over the map, and dives into it, this caused the whole scene around him to change in an instant, and he was now in the middle of a beautiful area filled with nature, all kinds of areas all around.
He flew once more, till he hovered in front of a very old looking temple, and the same black swirling vortex appeared right in front. It appeared there, the portal to the next world.
He smiled, "So the rift is in a Capsule Game World. Now how the heck am I supposed to get to India without any money?" As he thinks about it, he feels the call of awakening, as well as the scene all around him fading away.
His eyes slowly opened, seeing the morning sky. The light of the morning sunshine brightens the day, and it was what awakens him. He slowly sat up, and stretches. He then gets up and off the towel, he stretches a bit more.
Then he smiled as he looks at the sunny sky of the morning, he calmly spoke, "Today's a brand new day." He then turns to look at his new towel and backpack, he then goes and picks up the towel and fold it up. He opens his backpack, than he puts the towel into his backpack, than he closed it. And just as he put it on his back, he heard something.
"You new around here pal?" asked a new voice. The human turns to see who arrived.
What he sees is a six feet tall slender and yet a bit muscular human wearing white sleeveless coat with a black tank top shirt underneath with what looks like a reptilian scale pattern. He wore a silver belt, and black leather jeans and dark brown shoes. On his arms are black wristbands and a strange looking infinity tattoo on his left shoulder. As for face, he is clean shaved, he has blue eyes, a yellow tattoo of what looks like a scar over the left eye, and he has long spike red hair.
The hair and the face instantly reminded the human of someone else, he quietly asked, "Axel?"
"Who's Axel?" asked the stranger, he walks towards the human. The human kept a careful gaze upon this one, for he has no idea who this being was. But then he realized he was asked a question.
"Oh it's just that your hair reminds me of another," he replied.
They both looked at each other; they hadn't introduced to each other. The human was waiting for the strange to introduce himself, but after a few minutes, a sudden surprised grin appeared on the stranger's face.
"This is great! You're another traveler!" he spoke out loud.
The human looked confused, he asked, "What?"
Then the stranger grabbed his left wrist, and started to drag him away from where he stood. "Come on man! You need to first blend in!" the stranger spoke out, further surprising the human when he was dragged towards what looks like a white limo.
"What the heck are you doing?!" asked the human, wondering what in blazes this stranger doing. Why the heck would he grab a complete stranger and drag him towards a limo?
The door was open by the driver and was giving a bow to the stranger. Then when the stranger got close to the door, he drag the human and pushes him right in. Then the stranger follows behind and sat down in the chair.
"To the Imperium Mall, driver," said the stranger.
"Very well sir," said the driver as he nicely closed the door. He then headed back to the front.
The human lay in the middle of the limo, glaring at the stranger. He was lucky that he didn't go level armor or Triforce split and beat him up, he tries to calm down and nicely asks, "You know this count as kidnapping, right?"
The stranger grins at him, and then the limo started to move. Then the stranger spoke, "Well it would count, if anyone else knew about you."
The human still annoyed, and asked nicely, "Who the hell are you?"
The stranger reaches and takes a can drink in a mini fridge in this limo; he opens it and takes a drink. He then said, "My name is Kyle." He then looks at the human, "And you good sir, are a traveler from another world."
The human's eyes widen in shock and disbelief.
Kyle grins, and then pointed at him with his free hand, "And how I could tell, three things. One is your clothes; you clearly stand out from the rest, especially with the winter coat and boots. Two, is that you were shocked when I said you're from another world." Now the human looked annoyed, disappointed in himself for allowing his expression betrays him like that. "But the most important, is your magic."
The human's eyes widen in confusion, he asks, "What?"
"I have similar magic to yours, and long ago, I put a spell upon myself to sense others who share something like my gift," Kyle said, he then takes another drink from his soda. "I had sensed you last night, a few times in fact. Took me while to get here as fast as I can before you could vanish."
The human gets more confused by the second, so he holds both hands up, palms out, "Wait a second, you're capable of using magic, just like me?" Kyle nodded, "And had used a spell for magic sensory and came to me?" Nodded again, so another question, "Where from?"
"Well before last night, I was in America of this world," said Kyle. "And just like you, I'm from a different world."
The human became worried and so he quietly asked, "How long?"
"Two months," said Kyle, he takes another gulp from his soda. Then he looks at the human, "And since now you're here. You, another being with similar powers to mind, you must be a master or something. You must know about those dimensional rifts, right?" He looks rather hopeful, than he realizes something, "Oh right, what is your name for starters?"
The human sighed a bit, was glad that it wasn't more than two months, but it sounds like Kyle had gone through two worlds as much as him. "Well for starters Kyle, my name is Joseph," said the human, he slowly gets up and gets comfortable on a seat across from Kyle. "As for magic and stuff, I pretty much just got here yesterday. And like you, I only been through two worlds so far."
Kyle was taking another gulp of his soda, but when he heard that, he instantly spit out the content, and luckily he had spit it all out at the window. He coughs and gags a bit till he finally could speak, "W-What?!" He was clearly displeased of knowing that. "You mean; you're no master, just another traveler traveling through worlds?"
Joseph nodded, now expecting this Kyle to be ticked off or something.
"Oh well," Kyle said, looked calm, and with a smile? "It's only been two months, not two years, there is still hope."
Joseph smiled a little, "True, but uh, you said you been to this world before I arrive, right?"
"About two weeks in fact," Kyle calmly replied. Then he looks at Joseph, "And you came here yesterday. Well, looks like I'll be gone before you reach your dimensional rift."
"Looks like it," Joseph said, remain sitting in the seat. Curious about something, he asks, "Which worlds have you been to so far?"
Kyle takes another gulp from his can soda, and said, "Well, the first world I gone to was Animalia. It was quite peaceful there, than after that, I had gone to Men in Black. Those guys were crazy, very crazy. How about you, Joseph? What worlds have you been so far?"
Joseph thinks about it, he knows those two worlds, from old shows on TV back home. He then said, "Well the first one was Redwall, than after that was Phantasy Star Universe."
"Aw, Phantasy Star Universe is one of my favourite games!" Kyle groans a bit. Then the limo came to a stop, and then Kyle grin, "Looks like we're here!"
"Here where?" asked Joseph.
After the limo had stopped, the driver got out and opened the door for them. Kyle went out first, then Joseph, and once they're out, they're in front of a mall.
Confused, he asks, "Why are we at a mall?"
"You're new here man," Kyle said. "You need to blend in, now come on!" He grabs Joe's wrist, and drags him right into the mall.
"Why?!" asked Joseph, more like he yelled as he was being dragged into the mall.
"Your clothes make you stand out pal," Kyle replied, he continued to drag Joseph through the entrance, and going pass a few stores. Many people who were there saw them, each of them were either surprised or confused when the two travelers went pass them.
Then they came to a stop, at a clothes store. "Here we are," Kyle said with a grin, than he started to push Joseph in. "Don't worry about the price pal, I'll pay for all the clothes you pick," had stopped pushing and stood by the cashier.
Joseph had stopped, turned around, and looked at Kyle in confusion. "Why are you helping me out?" he asked, still very confused.
"For one, I'm rich," Kyle chuckled, "two, you need help. And you must know it's a good thing to help others, right?"
"But we're complete strangers," Joseph replied, still looked confused.
"Strangers in one day, friends the next," Kyle said with a smile. "Now then, go browse a bit while I make a phone call." He had pulled out his cellphone.
Joseph was still confused; eventually he gave in, turned around and goes into the clothes store. When one of the workers in the store asked if he needs anything, he would reply, "No thanks, just browsing." He ended up taking a cart, just in case.
As he looks around, he took a quick look back at that Kyle guy, who was busy talking to his cellphone. He then thought to himself, 'The only explanation of him helping me out would be that I would help him in return. But what would that be? Need to check the notebook later to find that out.'
He then started to choose a few regular clothes, like blue and black jeans that fit his size, at least two pairs of each. Then a few belts, same length, and are either brown or black. Then two packages, one package of white socks, and the other of black socks. He also picked up a package with black boxer shorts. Then he browses in the shirt section.
'Well at least I'll get a few shirts that aren't tank top,' he thought to himself, considering underneath his winter coat is just a tank top shirt. He gathers two white t-shirts, a yellow, a red, and a black one as well.
He headed into the shoes section next, and looks at them, and picks up a box containing black shoes that fit his size. 'At least I won't have to wear my boots all the time,' he thought as he holds the box and placed it in the cart with the other clothes he picked.
Then he headed to the next section, the coat section. 'Just one coat, it's very likely I'll still be wearing my winter coat anyways, now which…' he was thinking to himself till his saw one particular coat he now gawked at it.
It was a beautiful red trench-coat, his size kind a coat. It has black lining, and the main coloration is red, but to Joseph, it might as well be ruby red. It has a long large black belt hanging in it on the outside of it. And like the icing on the cake, it has two dragon-like snake patterns, the heads on the front either side, and spiralling behind the back and the sleeves.
To anyone, they're just coats, but to Joseph, this is the kind of coat he likes. He gently picks it up off the rack, and holds it in front of him. Back at home, he always likes the idea of wearing a trench coat while walking; it's like a perfect style for him. And the dragons on this trench coat seems in way calling to him, for he loves dragons, and this coat is just perfect. He gently puts the coat into the cart with a smile.
'I am definitely repaying Kyle for this,' Joseph thought to himself, no longer suspicious of the guy.
He headed into the accessory section, and picks up a pair of black fingerless gloves. He takes one last look at all the clothes he picked, than pushes the cart to the front cart, in which Kyle was waiting.
When Kyle saw Joseph coming back with a card with a load of clothes, he smiled, "Perfect, now to pay for them." As the items get scan by the price scanner the cashier holds and bags the clothes. Kyle had seen the trench coat, and was a bit surprised, "Ooh, that's a rare beauty."
"I know right," Joseph said with a grin, he chuckles a bit.
The cashier only rolled his eyes and quietly mutters to himself, "It's just a coat." He didn't see Joseph glaring at him while he put the clothes into the bag. "Here's the price," he said to Kyle, showing what the price was.
Kyle holds out what looks like a debit card, "Here you go my good man." He grins and helped paid for the clothes, in which now Joseph is carrying the bags. Once Kyle got his card back and the receipt, he follows behind.
"Good choices by the way," Kyle said. "Now you just need a hairdo."
Now that surprised Joseph a bit, "What's wrong with my hair?"
"Oh nothing wrong with it, but look at everyone's hairstyles," Kyle said, indicating at ever other human in the mall. Each of them pretty much has spiky hair or in different styles. Joseph sees his point, and Kyle continued, "Now come on then."
He leads him to the one part of the mall, a haircut parlour. Once they go in, Kyle called to the lady at the counter, "My buddy here needs a new hairdo like there's no tomorrow!"
This caused several things to happen, two people in work clothes popping out of somewhere in front of the two travelers. Joseph dropping his bags and had to remove his backpack and jacket, and Kyle promised to look after his stuff while he gets his haircut. Well technically Joseph was dragged by the two people who came for him, and took him into one of the rooms so to work on his hair.
About thirty minutes later, Joseph came out of the room with a new hairdo, along with one of the work people, a lady with lovely blond hair, glaring at him. Joseph now has long black spiked hair pointing upwards in a way like flames.
The reason for the lady's glare happens to be about his goatee he still has. When she offered to shave it, Joseph said something like, "Touch one hair on my goatee and you'll learn what it's like to be bald for a whole month." She believes the goatee makes him look horrible with the new hairstyle he has, but she cared about her hair a whole lot more.
Once he joined up with Kyle, Kyle says a nice compliment, than he pays for the haircut. And Joseph had put on his coat and backpack, than he picked up the bags, and left the parlour with Kyle.
"Now that's done, next up is eyewear, I'm sure you would look good with contact lens," said Kyle, but then noticed at Joseph had stopped. When he looked at his fellow traveler, he was glaring at him. Confused, he asked, "What?"
"No contact lens please, I prefer my glasses," Joseph had replied. "I prefer glasses, and I'll stay with glasses."
Kyle shrugged a bit; it was Joseph's decision after all. "Your choices, you probably don't like anything touching your eyes, right?"
"I tried contact lens before, for the purpose to play rugby," Joseph had replied, and he walks onward, carrying the bags.
"That explains the muscles," Kyle said quietly, he then follows.
As they neared the entrance of the mall, Kyle looked like he realized something. "Oh, almost forgot," Kyle said as they go out of the mall.
"What?" asked Joseph, didn't sound interested.
"As another way of blending in this city, you're a transfer student to Domino High," said Kyle, Joseph had suddenly stopped. Kyle noticed and stopped beside him, "Joseph?"
He looks at Kyle, and yelled suddenly, "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
Well now, Joseph has arrived to the Yu-Gi-Oh! World, and made a new friend. But is this Kyle a friend? Why is Kyle helping Joseph out? And why did he get Joseph into Domino School? What would happen? Stay tuned for… YuGiOh! Duels of the Actillian!
