In the near future… Thanks to the development of Solid Vision with mass, people have plunged headlong into an era of Action Duels.

However, there is something they may not have realized.

The future is headed toward destruction…

And the Pendulum of Fate…

Has begun to swing…

Once again…

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Swing 2: Visions of A G.O.D.

Scale 1: Beginning of an Illusion

Written to the tune of BRAVING (ZEXAL OP 2).

"It's almost time, Mistress Eve."

"Yes, time for this world to fall asleep and follow the will of GOD. If the world was meant to fall into eternal slumber at the hands of those who serve GOD, then so be it. GOD will give all of them their desired realities anyway. Why would they want to stay here when they could live their dreams for all of time? Find and destroy the reincarnations of Zarc and Ray. It should be easy. After all, GOD is with you."

"Yes, madam." 'It means I'll also have to fight THEM… Yugo… Rin… For what it's worth, I'm sorry. It must be done for the ideal.' "I take it I also need to find our comrade?"

"Yes, do what you must to retrieve Sora. That will be all for now, Ren."

Ren turned to leave.

"Ren, those scars are proof of GOD's selection of you. Never forget that."

"Yes, madam."

"Genesis Omega Dragon? Why does it feel like I've heard that name before? Does it have to do with Zarc? Odd-Eyes, do you know anything about this? Didn't think so. Just thought I should ask. Might as well visit Reiji to see if his company has any information."

"Genesis Omega Dragon? I'm afraid I don't know anything about it."

"I see. Sorry for bothering you."

"So that's Yuya Sakaki? The Pendulum Dimension reincarnation of Zarc, correct? We can't have him interfering in our plans. Mistress Eve would not be happy if GOD's plan was compromised."

"Correct, Isaac. You can attempt to get rid of him in any way you wish. But know this… Yugo and Rin are mine."

"Getting sentimental, are we Ren? Your feelings cannot sway your loyalty to GOD."

"How about an exercise in hacking?"

"ATTENTION ALL LEO STUDENTS! YUYA SAKAKI HAS HACKED THE LDS COMPUTER SYSTEM! APPREHEND HIM ON SIGHT!"

"Yuya? I don't believe it. This has to be a mistake. I, the great Shingo Sawatari, will find out the truth."

"Shingo! You gotta believe me, I'm innocent!"

"I do believe you, Yuya. But we haven't dueled in a while, and it would look suspicious of me to just let you pass. Duel me, right here and now. If you win, you go free."

"Alright. Let's Due!"

"I was hoping you'd say that. I activate the Action Field Haunted Demon Den! I think I'll go first. I summon Underworld Knight Eidos (ATK 800*)! Next I play the Action Spell Haunted Missile! You take 1000 points of damage!"

Yuya LP: 4000-3000

"I'll also activate Eidos' effect! I can tribute it to Tribute Summon! I tribute Eidos to summon the Level 6 Demon Emperor Agmar (ATK 2400*)! And since I summoned Agmar, I can banish a Spell from my graveyard to activate its effect! I banish Haunted Missile to inflict 1000 points of damage!"

Yuya LP: 3000-2000

"I set one card face down and end my turn."

"Now it's my turn! I Draw!" 'Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon?! Where'd this come from?!"

"I activate Pot of Greed to Draw 2 cards!" 'Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon and Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon? I've never had these cards. This is weird.'

"With my Scale 1 Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon, and my Scale 8 Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon, I set the Pendulum Scale! I Pendulum Summon! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000) and Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon (2500/2000)! I attack Eidos with Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Spiral Strike Burst! And since Agmar is Level 5 or higher, battle damage is doubled! Reaction Force!"

Shingo LP: 4000-3800

"Then I attack you directly with Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon! Spectral Strike Burst!"

"Not happening, Yuya! I activate the Trap Card Dark Advance to summon Agmar from the graveyard! And it can't be destroyed in battle this turn!"

"Then Odd-Eyes attacks Angmar! Spectral Strike Burst!"

Shingo LP: 3800-3700

"Then Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon's special ability activates! Now you take an additional 1200 points of damage for every Odd-Eyes card in my Pendulum Zones! I have two, so you take 2400 points of damage! Replay Force!"

Shingo LP: 3700-2300

"I set one card and end my turn!"

"It's my turn! I Draw! I tribute Agmar to Tribute Summon Underworld Emperor Erebus (ATK 2800*)! It allows me to send Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon back to your deck! Then I play Emperor's Freezing Air! It allows me to destroy 1 set Spell or Trap! I choose your face-down! I attack Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon with Erebus!"

Yuya LP: 2000-1700

"I Draw! I Pendulum Summon Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon and Performapal Coin Dragon (1700/1000)! Coin Dragon's ability increases the ATK of all Dragons on my field by 500, and they can't be destroyed by card effects!"

Coin Dragon: 1700-2200

Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon: 2500-3000

"I attack Erebus with Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon! Spectral Strike Burst! Now Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon's ability activates! You take 2400 points of damage! Replay Force!"

Shingo LP: 2300-2100-0

"You won. Go, while you still have time, Yuya."

"Thanks, Shingo!"

"That didn't work as well as I thought it would. Find Sora and restore his memories. His mission still isn't complete."

"Alright. Just what are you planning, Isaac?"

"Yuri and Serena are our targets as well. Having been a student at Duel Academy alongside them, Sora will be the most familiar with their tactics."

"I see. I presume I should also include his memories of Miu?"

"Restore everything. Including the memories of his little sister."

Oh, and Eve, Ren, Isaac, and Miu aren't OCs, by the way. They're all official manga characters.
