Duality

by Sekhmet and Susano-o

AU/Continuation of canon. Five years after the events of Zexal and Astral gaining his human form, a post college girl and an ethereal alien are learning to live and love each other, one duel and paycheck at a time.

1. Prologue

Sekhmet: So this is my first solo story published here. This started out as a continuation of canon Zexal, but due to me not being able to leave canon alone, it became an AU.

Some things to note are as follows: The AU part of this comes in where Astral never left at the end of Zexal, and chose to stay with Yuma, eventually gathering the first 100 Number Cards and being granted a physical form. After that, they acted much like Dragon Balls where they sealed themselves up and dispersed, and that was thought to be the end of it.

Unfortunately, this is not that story. Five years later, enter Mizuki Funai, a post college girl with enough weariness to depress a genki girl. You'll see why later.

There's actually not much else for me to say. The premise is very simple: Collect the Numbers and see what happens. With that said, let's get into Duality.
