Yugioh: Tale of the Rising
Act 1: The Other Five
Chapter 1: The Heroic Champion Rises
(Author's note: In these stories from here and on out, when Jake morphs into his Utopia armor, he is called Utopia. When he morphs to Utopia Ray, he is called Utopia Ray. The reason is I like calling Jake the name Utopia.)
On a field of flowers and roses, the field is breathtaking. Filled with flowers of every kind of flower. The only thing that ruins the unending field is a trail through the field and a big tree right next to the middle of the trail. On the tree, there's a teenage boy and a giant, silver armored humanoid lizard resting on the branches of the trees. A couple of days ago, they survived a battle with the Dark World fiends, Van'Dalgyon and his dragons, the Infernal Fire Emperor and a powerful fiend known as the Invader of Darkness. So far on their journey through the flowered fields, they heard nothing from those sides.
The teenage boy looks around from his viewing point at the tree. He then looks back at his companion, "Nothing still, Gigo." The boy said, "I hope we collect five more warriors in our group."
"Don't worry, Jake." said Gigo, "When we travel some more, we might find great warriors to fight for our cause and help you save your girlfriend, Mana."
Jake blushes of Gigo's compliment. He know his friend is trying to keep him up in high spirits. The only thing he's worrying about is when other beings find out he's not around here. In truth, Jake came from a land that everybody is an Ordinary, being of no power. The beings from Gigo's land, the Extraordinaries, don't like the Ordinaries due to the history between the two groups. More than six months ago, he was kidnapped by a mad fiend scientist by Kozaky and was implanted with power of a deceased warrior named Number 39: Utopia, turning Jake to an Extraordinary. Afraid to go back to his own homeland due to his new status, he hid in a wasteland for six months.
That is until he rescued a girl name Mana who is a magician skilled in magic. They stayed together for a week and despite finding out that Jake is an Ordinary, Mana stayed with him. They're relationship was a trusting one up to the point they depend on each other. Jake also started having feelings for him. But during an escape from the wastelands, Mana is "supposedly killed" by Invader of Darkness. But a man named Kazuma, the father of a boy named Yuma who summons Jake as his Utopia self in his dreams, told him that Mana is alive and she is being held in another dimension. He also gave him a job if Jake helps Kazuma, he will give a map to him that will lead to the place where's Mana is at. Now Jake is at a field of flowers with his friend Gigo to search for other warriors for his quest.
As for Gigo, Jake considers him his best friend besides Mana. Jake met Gigo when he was in Kozaky's lab. They broke out together but were separated due to an explosion. Both of them didn't see each other for six months until Jake meets him again at his escape out of the wasteland. They both fought a battle a day later which Jake helps Gigo to control the evil in his heart. Now both are consider comrades at arms.
But not a lot is happening on the field of flowers. Jake looks around again and sees nothing. Jake looks very closely then see a speck of dark red and grey going through the flowers. Jake look closely at the speck and it turns out to be an armored knight. The armored knight carries a big blade with a yellow gold rim. "Hey Gigo, someone's coming." Jake said.
Gigo got next to Jake. "Someone is coming." Gigo said, "Be careful. We don't know if this guy is a friendly or not."
When the dark red knight reaches the tree, Jake and Gigo see that he's not alone. The knight has a small, furry companion walking beside him that is hidden under the flowers. The creature has white, orange, and black fur and two big ears. Jake and Gigo watch the knight and the creature sit at the stump of the tree. The duo watch as the knight pulls out his sword. The sword sparkles in the sunlight. Jake study the knight's sword. That ain't no ordinary sword, the number warrior thought.
Then the knight stood up, turn around and slashes the branch that Jake and Gigo was on. The duo fell at the knight's feet.
"So thieves out to steal my valuables?" said the knight as his creature friend runs behind him, "I'll show them the dishonor of their ways of striking of an opponent."
Before the knight can strike another blow, Jake gets up and morphs to his Utopia armor. Utopia grabs one of his blades and counters the knight's sword. The knight jump backwards and goes to a defending position. Utopia does the same. Gigo gets up and is going to attack the knight but Utopia stops him. Utopia looks at the knight.
"Who are you?" Utopia ask.
"I'm the Heroic Champion-Excalibur." said the knight, "And you maggots are going to face the steel of my sword!" Excalibur charges at Utopia but Utopia counters the attack with his blade.
"We didn't want to alarm you, " Utopia said, "But we weren't planning to steal from you."
"Hah." Excalibur chuckled, "Thats a good lie for a thief!"
"But thats the truth!" Utopia said.
"Well then prove it!" Excalibur said, "Beat me at this fight if you're not a thief! All who are against the law fall to Heroic Champion- Excalibur!"
Utopia and Excalibur clash their swords.
Clash! Clash! The two swords clash so much that they created sparks,
Utopia then swung his blade at Excalibur's sword as a force so strong that Excalibur lost hold of his sword. Excalibur sword hit the ground and Excalibur has no time to retrieve his sword as he knew he lost. He eyed his opponent very closely.
So the warrior prove himself. Excalibur thought, Now the question is what do he and his companion want?
Gigo walks next to Utopia as Utopia morphs back to Jake. "So why you and your pet all the way out here?"
"Looking for my calling." Excalibur said, "I'm longing for the excitement of adventure. So far nothing."
Jake and Gigo look at each and turn back at Excalibur. "Well we're going on a quest and we're open to joining members."
"What kind of quest?" Excalibur ask as he pulls out his sword and puts it in his side, "A heroic one or a satanic one?"
"The heroic kind, what else?" Gigo said.
"What is it exactly?" Excalibur ask.
"Thats the stopper." Jake said, "We don't know." Jake then pulls out a piece of paper. "All we know if we gather enough people or beings in our group, this piece of paper will light up and show a map to some gate. So are you in?"
"So you both got a blank map that will light the way to a gate, which you both don't know it will have, if you get enough people to join your group. Am I correct?" Excalibur said as Jake and Gigo shake their heads, "Let's do it! I like the taste of unexpecting danger. But just one question."
"What?" the duo asked.
"Whats a "stopper"?" Excalibur ask.
Jake eyes went wide. He knew to be careful with his language because if Excalibur knew if he was an Ordinary in Extraordinary clothing, he's dead.
"He is not from here." Gigo said quickly as Jake look at him, "He's from the beach side villages."
The duo look at Excalibur for a few seconds then Excalibur said, "Okay. The beach villagers are always say strange things." Jake and Gigo relax.
Gigo looks at Excalibur's pet. "What's that?" Gigo said as he points at the creature.
"It's a dragon called a Baby Tiragon." Excalibur said as patts the creature's head, "I named it Flip."
"Why that?" Jake ask.
"It is small, non-violent, and furry unlike most dragons." Excalibur explained, "It too wants a calling."
"Well we got room in this group." Gigo said, "So let's go!" Gigo start running down the trail while Jake, Excalibur, and Flip look on.
"He just want to get on with it does he?" Excalibur said.
"Yup. Since his upgrade, he wants to get closer to the action." Jake said.
"Oh. Then let's go! Adventure doesn't go by itself!" Excalibur said as chases after Gigo with Flip behind him.
"Wait up!" Jake yells as he felt left behind and chases after his group.
As the group runs up the trail on the flowerfield, a cloaked figure watches them from afar in the skies. "Well there's the group," said the cloaked figure, "And there's Utopia. I hope what Kazuma said was right. I need to come to the picture when he needs his seventh." The cloaked figure glided through the sky and follow Jake and his group.
