Ulrich362: Well, after helping out Bopdog111 on his Daughter of Zarc and Ray story we've decided to try out one of my ideas. An Undertale/Arc-V crossover though one unrelated to his series.
bopdog111: We done a fic a while back that is one of his ideas. If you remember Yunia we tried to do a similar fic to her but different but it turn out well.
Ulrich362: Actually Bopdog I'm still working on that one myself, The Empress of Duel Academy though updates are slower because of a bit of writer's block. That being said though as far as this story is concerned it should hopefully have semi-consistent updates.
bopdog111: Well now let's not delay any longer. Let's get started.
Ulrich362: Though real quick before you do a few things to inform you of ahead of time. I personally view Chara and Frisk as girls so they will be depicted as such in this story and I also do not see Chara as evil.
Disclaimer: We do not own Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V or Undertale, all rights go to the respective creators.
bopdog111: ENJOY!

"Frisk?" asked a female voice. "Frisk can you hear me?"
A young girl that is no older then seven looked over to who was calling to her.
It was a female humanoid goat along with a blond maie humanoid goat, a yellow lizard in a lab coat, a blue humanoid fish with a red ponytail, a short skeleton wearing a blue jacket and slippers, and a taller skeleton wearing a red scarf as they all looked worried.
"Guys? What's wrong?" Frisk asked worried.
"We were worried about you Frisk, there was an intense flash of light and when it faded the Barrier was broken but you weren't moving." the female humanoid goat explained. "Do you know what happened?"
Frisk rubbed her head trying to remember what happened. That was before she said one name.
"Asriel."
Both the humanoid goats gasped hearing that name before the male stepped forward. "Frisk, please what happened? Why are you calling for our son Asriel?"
Frisk turned to them with a sad expression before looking at the flower that lay wilted, and defeated. "Flowey... He's Asriel..."
Hearing that the yellow lizard started trembling. "But... Frisk if that Flower is... and I... what have I done?"
Frisk knealt, and softly picked Flowey off the ground.
"What do you want? You have your 'Happy Ending' Don't you?" Flowey questioned. "Just get going already."
"I don't have it yet. Not without you Asriel." Frisk told him.
"The desire to help Asriel reach the surface with all of your friends, it fills you with DETERMINATION." whispered a female voice Frisk had heard throughout her time in the Underground.
Frisk smiled as she heard that before saying to her friends, "Guys. Let's go home."
"You mean the Surface? Yeah that sounds good to me." the skeleton in the blue jacket smiled.
They nodded before they walked out seeing a sunset out of the distance.
"Wow, Sans what's that thing over there?" the taller skeleton asked.
"We call that "the sun" Papyrus." The short skeleton answered.
"Oh." Papyrus replied calmly.
Frisk smiled out of the distance, "It's as beautiful as it was before I went here."
The group continued looking out at the sun before they decided to start heading down the mountain.
As they did several humans looked shocked seeing monsters with a human child, and in her hands was a living flower.
"I don't like this." the blue humanoid fish monster commented looking around. "It feels wrong."
"I felt the same Undyne." Frisk told her. "You'll get used to it."
"Well if you say so punk, but I still don't like it. Then again some humans aren't bad so we just need to find them I guess." Undyne admitted.
Frisk looked down at Flowey in her hands, and sees that he was looking down.
"Alphys?" She asked the yellow lizard.
"Huh, yeah Frisk?" Alphys asked.
"Is there by any chance you, and maybe Mettaton can restore Asriel?" Frisk asked.
Alphys looked shocked hearing that before looking down. "Um... I don't... I mean it would require a SOUL and even then, there's no guarantee it would be possible."
"You can use mine." Frisk told her.
"You really are an idiot, that would kill you." Flowey pointed out.
"Much better then you being stuck like that forever." Frisk told him.
"Frisk..." Flowey whispered in shock.
"No... no I won't." Alphys told her.
Frisk turned to her.
"I'm not going to hurt you, I... I can't." Alphys told her. "After everything you've done, I won't!"
Frisk look at Flowey in her hands with a saddened expression.
"... Maybe." Sans whispered.
"Huh? Sans?" Frisk asked hearing that.
"You really want to help out the weed?" Sans asked her. "I mean... Prince Asriel?"
"Yes I do." Frisk nodded.
Sans nodded. "Then there might be something we can try, but honestly I don't know what would happen. Well, you shouldn't die at least."
"What is it?" Frisk asked him wanting to set Asriel free.
"We can use the DT Extractor back in the Underground, if we can extract enough... we might be able to simulate a human SOUL." Sans answered. "The only problem is, there's no way of knowing what that would do to you."
"If it will get Asriel back we have to try." Frisk told him.
Sans just nodded. "Well, in that case we should head back. Our last thing to do in the Underground."
They nodded as they walked back.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Several minutes later...
"Ok... everything is set, we'll continue to extract DETERMINATION until you need to stop. Just don't push yourself too far ok Frisk?" Alphys requested nervously as they stared at the machine.
Frisk nodded before taking a deep breath as she entered the machine and it closed around her.
She waited for it to work.
Seconds later the machine began to hum as Frisk's DETERMINATION started leaving her SOUL.
Frisk closed her eyes as she focused.
Suddenly she heard muffled voices and gasps as the machine continued taking away her DETERMINATION.
"Giving up your DETERMINATION in order to save Asriel... it fills..." the familiar female voice started as it slowly grew fainter before vanishing completely.
Frisk started to feel a bit drowsy as she reached a hand to her head.
"Frisk, are you ok?" Alphys asked fearfully.
"I'm fine." Frisk assured her with a smile.
"Well... if you're sure." Alphys relented as the machine continued extracting Frisk's DETERMINATION.
Frisk felt drowsier as she shook her head as the machine continued its work.
Suddenly it stopped as the machine opened letting Frisk out.
Frisk stepped out shaking her head before asking, "Is... Is Asriel here?"
"Not yet, but... Frisk something happened." Sans told her before stepping aside revealing a second girl in a green and yellow striped sweater lying on the ground unconscious.
Frisk widen her eyes seeing her.
"Alphys is working on restoring the Prince but... Frisk what happened?" Sans asked her.
"Most of my DETERMINATION was extracted. And I heard that same voice I heard multiple times during my journey again before it faded." Frisk answered.
"Wait a second, are you suggesting this girl is... but who is she?" Sans asked.
"That's Asriel's best friend. Chara." Frisk answered.
At that moment, the girl slowly started to stir before opening her red eyes.
"Chara? Are you okay?" Frisk asked knelling to her side.
The girl, Chara, turned to Frisk before smirking playfully. "Greeting, I am Chara. The demon that comes when people call its name."
"Very funny." Frisk pouted a little before saying, "Asriel will join us soon."
Chara's eyes widened in shock. "Azzy?"
Suddenly she started trembling and tearing up.
Frisk hugged her.
"I hurt him... so much." Chara choked out. "I just wanted to help and... and..."
She just started sobbing in Frisk's arms at that point.
Frisk rubbed her back as she looked over to Alphys.
Alphys was looking nervous as she worked with the incredible amount of DETERMINATION and tried to focus it with her magic before it suddenly started to shrink into a familiar shape only to start violently shaking.
Everyone grunted at the shaking.
Suddenly Flowey created vines that reached out and grabbed it before a blinding flash of crimson light filled the room.
Everyone grunted at the bright light before it faded as they looked.
Sitting on the table looking dizzy and holding his head was a young male goat monster in an identical sweater to Chara's.
Both of the adult goat humanoid monsters gasped seeing him.
"Azzy...?" Chara asked fearfully. "Is it really you?"
Asriel looked as he widen his eyes, "Chara?"
She ran and hugged him before sobbing. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry Azzy, it was all my fault."
Asriel hugged her back as Frisk smiled at the siblings being reunited.
The two older goat humanoid monsters started tearing up seeing them as Sans grinned. "Well, time to head back up to the Surface right Frisk?"
"Let's give them a moment. They deserve it." Frisk told him with a smile.
Sans nodded calmly. "Yeah, you're right about that."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Several minutes later...
They all exited the Underground again, and arrived back at the city.
Suddenly Chara gasped before pointing to a poster depicting what looked like a human performing alongside monsters. "What is that?"
Frisk looked, and smiled "That's Yusho Sakaki. He's a famous Professional Duelist at Maiami City."
"Duelist? That sounds cool but..." Asriel started before frowning. "Does that mean he fights monsters and humans still don't like us though?"
"Oh no, it's just a game." Frisk assured with a smile. "A complicated card game but really fun to do."
"A game, can you teach us?" Chara requested.
Frisk looked down. "Actually... I don't know how to play."
"You don't?" Sans asked.
Frisk shook her head. "No, I wanted to learn but..."
She looked down as if recalling something. "... Circumstances led to me meeting all of you, but maybe we can ask if Yusho will teach us."
"Do you know where he is right now punk?" Undyne asked her.
"Well there's an address on this poster." the adult male humanoid goat monster mentioned. "Maybe he's there?"
They nodded on that.
"Right." Sans nodded.
With that they headed towards the address of the "You Show School" advertised on the poster.
On the way however Frisk noticed Chara glaring at any human that stared at the monsters.
"Chara?" Frisk asked worried.
"They want us sealed up again, I know it." Chara answered angrily. "Those humans have no right; they don't know the first thing about Azzy and the others."
"Chara it's okay. I'm sure there not thinking that." Frisk assured with a smile. "Their just surprised seeing real monsters here. Their used to see them in dueling multiple things so this is new to them."
"Well... if you're sure." Chara relented before smiling. "Though, if Azzy's the Absolute God of Hyperdeath and I'm the Demon that comes when people call its name... what are you?"
Frisk shrugged.
"We'll figure out something for you." Asriel smiled walking up next to them before they reached the building.
"This is the place?" Undyne questioned.
Frisk looked up at the building's name.
You Show School.
"Yeah that's it." Frisk smiled.
"Well then, shall we introduce ourselves?" the female humanoid goat monster suggested.
Frisk nodded as she walked, and opened the door.
When she did two men noticed as one wearing a red top hat walked up to her.
"Hello there." he smiled.
Frisk smiled as she bows, "It's such a honor to meet you Mr. Sakaki. I'm Frisk Dreemurr. And these are my friends." She gestured to her friends who were entering also.
The man turned to see them before his eyes widened. "Real monsters? This is certainly a surprise; how can we help you?"
"Well Frisk told us you can teach us how to duel." Chara explained. "Me, her, and my brother I mean."
The man smiled gently. "Of course, would you three like a demonstration first?"
They all nodded.
The other man smiled. "Alright, I'll let them know so you all can see an Action Duel between two Entertainment Duelists."
"Let who know?" Asriel asked confused.
"My son Yuya Sakaki, and his best friend Yuzu Hīragi." The first man smiled.
They nodded understanding.
A few minutes later Mr. Sakaki led the group to a large window where they saw a pink-haired girl standing opposite a green and red-haired boy who were both smiling.
Frisk looked at both of them with curious eyes.
Chara and Asriel looked on with equal interest as Mr. Sakaki smiled and the area the boy and girl were standing in transformed into a peaceful meadow.
Duelists locked in battle! Kicking the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters! They storm through this field! Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling! ACTION DUEL!" the girl and boy called together.
At that orb of cards exploded as a computerized voice said, "Action Cards dispersed."
"What just happened?" Asriel asked confused.
"That was the start of Action Duels." Mr. Sakaki smiled. "You'll understand once you see."
Asriel nodded turning back to the Action Duel.
Yuya: 4000
Yuzu: 4000
Let the duel begin!
"So who goes first Yuzu?" The boy asked with a smile.
"You can go first Yuya." the girl answered with her own smile.
Yuya 1st Turn:
Yuya nodded drawing a card as he grinned, "Alright welcome to the Yuya Spectacular, and to start I'll be summoning Performapal Whip Snake!"
A blue snake wearing a black top hat, and having a ribbon appeared.
Performapal Whip Snake
Earth Attribute
Level 4
Reptile
ATK: 1700
DEF: 900
Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; switch its current ATK and DEF until the End Phase.
"What the?" Chara asked confused. "Does that snake look like a performer?"
"Yeah, it does." Frisk agreed before smiling. "It looks really cool."
Yuya smiled at that, "Well I'll be ending this act with two cards face-down. It's your turn to shine Yuzu."
Yuzu 1st Turn:
Yuzu drew a card before smiling. "Alright Yuya, I'll set two cards and then I'll summon out Aria the Melodious Diva in attack mode."
Aria the Melodious Diva
Light Attribute
Level 4
Fairy
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1200
Once per turn, when your opponent does not take any battle damage from an attack involving this card: You can inflict 800 damage to your opponent.
"Whoa she looks pretty." Asriel remarked in awe.
"It's Yuzu's deck, Melodious." Mr. Sakaki explained.
"If I have to guess they are also performers." Chara said before continuing, "And music part of their playing style since it sounds like 'Melody' in the name."
"That's right." the other man smiled.
Yuya smiled before asking, "Okay Yuzu what's next?"
"Next up is the spell card Fortissimo." Yuzu answered playing the spell. "This gives Aria 600 more attack points until my next Standby Phase."
Fortissimo
Continous Spell
Once per turn: You can target 1 "Melodious" monster you control; it gains 600 ATK until your next Standby Phase.
Aria: (ATK: 1600 + 600 = 2200)
"ATK?" Asriel asked confused. "Attack points?"
"That's right, you see in a duel the ultimate goal is to reduce your opponent's life points down to zero." Mr. Sakaki explained. "And the simplest way to do that is to have a monster with more attack points attack your opponent's monster to deal damage. It may look like the monsters are forced to fight but they aren't really being hurt and as students of You Show the key is to have fun."
"So does that mean Whip Snake is weaker?" Chara asked now getting it.
"Yes, it does." the other man nodded.
"Ok Yuya, Aria attacks Performapal Whip Snake!" Yuzu called.
The monster charged before the three kids noticed Yuya is running.
"Hey where's he going?" Asriel asked confused.
That was before Yuya grabbed something, and called, "I activate the Action Spell, Evasion! This negates your attack Yuzu!"
Evasion
Action Spell Card
When a monster declares an attack: Target that monster; negate the attack.
"Action Spell?" Frisk asked confused.
"Yes you see in duels like Action Duels you can run to cards called Action Cards in order to protect yourself, make surprising turn-arounds, or use your opponent's moves to an advantage." The other man explained. "While Action Spells make good uses it's the Action Traps you need to watch out for as they can damage you, or your monsters badly."
"That sounds interesting." Chara grinned. "A god vs a demon to entertain humans and show them monsters are nice. I like this."
"Maybe, but since Aria didn't deal any damage her special ability deals you 800 points of damage Yuya." Yuzu reminded him.
Aria fired a song note at Yuya that hit him.
"I end my turn Yuya." Yuzu smiled.
Yuya: 3200
Yuzu: 4000
Yuya 2nd Turn:
Yuya drew as he grinned.
"Hey wait if the goal was draining the opponent's Life Points to zero shouldn't Yuya attack on his first turn?" Asriel asked.
"Actually, you aren't allowed to attack on the first turn of a duel. It's more fair that way." Mr. Sakaki explained.
Yuya then grinned, "Okay I'll summon Performapal Sword Fish!"
A sword that has a fish on it with a hair-do, and a bow appeared.
Performapal Sword Fish
Water Attribute
Level 2
Fish
ATK: 600
DEF: 600
Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; it loses 600 ATK until the End Phase.
"That thing looks so wrong." Chara admitted.
"Really?" Frisk asked. "I think it looks kind of neat."
"I don't like this." Yuzu admitted.
"Well now Whip Snake switches the attack, and defense points of Aria!" Yuya grinned as the snake used its eyes on Aria.
Aria: (ATK: 1200/DEF: 2200)
"Now Yuya's monster is stronger." Chara noted.
"And there's more! Sword Fish lowers Aria's attack points further by cutting 600 off!" Yuya grinned as the monster fired some swords at Aria surrounding her.
Aria: (ATK: 1200 – 600 = 600)
Yuzu started running seeing that.
"Whoa now that is impressive." Asriel admitted.
"Okay Whip Snake attack Aria!" Yuya called.
Yuzu grabbed a card as the snake charged towards Aria. "I play Miracle, this protects Aria from being destroyed and cuts the damage in half."
Miracle
Action Spell Card
If a monster on the field battles: Target that monster; it cannot be destroyed by that battle, also any battle damage is halved.
The snake hit.
"How many Action Cards are here?" Chara asked seeing that. "There must be thousands of them."
"There aren't quite that many but there are a lot of them with a large variety of effects." Mr. Sakaki smiled
"Okay Yuzu. Your turn." Yuya smiled before running to find an Action Card.
Yuya: 3200
Yuzu: 3450
Yuzu 2nd Turn:
Yuzu drew her card before smiling. "Ok Yuya, since I have a "Melodious Monster I can automatically summon Sonata the Melodious Diva to my field."
Sonata the Melodious Diva
Light Attribute
Fairy
Level 3
ATK: 1200
DEF: 1000
If you control a "Melodious" monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand).
"Wow." Asriel said amazed.
"I'm not done yet Yuya, I activate the trap card Musical Mayhem!" Yuzu grinned. "Since I have two Melodious Monsters this trap deals 1600 points of damage."
Musical Mayhem
Normal Trap
Inflict 800 damage to your opponent for each "Melodious" monster you control.
Yuya flinched as the damage hit him.
"That sounded like it hurt." Frisk said wincing with an eye closed.
"It probably stings a little bit but there are safety features so nobody gets hurt even when the monsters attack. Plus, when you start the Action Duels are less realistic to help you get used to them." Mr. Sakaki explained.
Frisk nodded at that.
"Okay Yuzu what else ya got?" Yuya grinned.
"I have plenty Yuya." Yuzu smiled. "I sacrifice Aria and Sonata in order to summon Mozarta the Melodious Maestra in attack mode."
Mozarta the Melodious Maestra
Light Attribute
Fairy
Level 8
ATK: 2600
DEF: 2000
Once per turn: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Melodious" monster from your hand.
"Whoa what just happened?" Frisk asked surprised.
"You see to summon stronger monsters you need to sacrifice weaker ones." the other man explained. "That means sending them to the graveyard… oh but that's just during the game, after the duel all your cards go back to your deck."
"Ok Yuya, Mozarta attacks Perfomrpal Sword Fish." Yuzu called running to find another Action Card."
Yuya soon grabbed an Action Card, and called "Go Miracle!"
"I play the Action Spell Double Attack!" Yuzu countered. "This doubles Mozarta's attack points."
Double Attack
Action Spell Card
Target 1 monster on the field; its ATK becomes double its current ATK during each Battle Phase this turn.
Yuya looked shocked.
Mozarta: (ATK: 2600 x 2 = 5200)
"I activate my face-down! Hippo Carnival!" Yuya called as three dancing hippos appeared dancing.
Hippo Carnival
Quick-Play Spell Card
Special Summon 3 "Hippo Tokens" (Beast-Type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0), but they cannot be Tributed. You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck while a "Hippo Token" is in a Monster Zone. For the rest of this turn after this card resolves, monsters your opponent controls cannot target monsters for attacks, except "Hippo Tokens".
Hippo Token
Earth Type
Level 1
Beast/Token
ATK: 0
DEF: 0
This card can be used as a "Hippo Token".
*If used for another Token, apply that Token's Type/Attribute/Level/ATK/DEF.
"What the...?" Chara asked surprised before asking annoyed, "Is this even a duel because those three are dancing rather than dueling."
"I stop my attack and set one card." Yuzu replied.
"If your opponent changes the monsters on their field you can pick if you want to attack or not." Mr. Sakaki explained.
Yuya: 1600
Yuzu: 3450
Yuya 3rd Turn:
Yuya drew as he grinned, "Okay Sword Fish activate your ability on Mozarta! You too Whip Snake!"
Mozarta: (ATK: 2000 – 600 = 1400/DEF: 2600)
"Not good." Yuzu frowned.
"And now I sacrifice both Whip Snake, and Sword Fish!" Yuya cried as the monsters vanished as he grinned, "Let's say hello to the main attraction! Odd-Eyes Dragon!"
A red dragon with one green and one red eye appeared roaring.
Odd-Eyes Dragon
Dark Type
Level 7
Dragon
ATK: 2500
DEF: 2000
When this card destroys an opponent's Level 5 or higher monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: You can inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the original ATK of that monster in the Graveyard.
"Wow." Asriel said in awe.
Yuzu suddenly grinned. "I play the trap Melodious Rhythm Change."
Melodious Rhythm Change
Normal Trap
Target 1 "Melodious" monster on the field; return it to the hand, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Melodious" monster from your hand.
"This lets me return Mozarta to my hand to summon a new Melodious Monster, and I summon her right back with her full attack points." Yuzu grinned.
Mozarta vanished only to reappear to full points.
"That's what people like Yuya get for being cocky." Chara told her friends.
"I don't know, he doesn't seem cocky to me Chara." Frisk pointed out. "Plus just look, they're both having so much fun."
Yuya grin, "Well Yuzu that sure was a great twist for this act. But I activate my other face-down, Wonder Balloons!"
At that a box with a question mark appeared as Yuya got on Odd-Eyes as the dragon started running.
Wonder Balloons
Continuous Spell Card
You can send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard; place 1 counter on this card. You can send this card to the Graveyard, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; that target loses 1000 ATK for each counter that was on this card, until the end of this turn.
Yuzu's eyes widened before she closed them and smiled. "It's over."
"What's going on?" Asriel asked surprised as Yuya grabbed three Action Cards before sending them to his graveyard.
"For each Action Card I send to the graveyard Wonder Balloons gains a counter, and then by sending itself to the graveyard Mozarta loses 1000 points for each counter." Yuya grinned snapping his fingers as the box shot several balloons trapping Mozarta.
Mozarta: (ATK: 2600 - (1000 * 3) = 0)
"W-What the?" Chara asked startled seeing this. "He sure is acting like a ringmaster."
"It's Yuya's Entertainment." Mr. Sakaki explained.
Yuya soon got on Odd-Eyes, and declared, "Okay Odd-Eyes get set the strike! Attack Mozarta! And if he destroys a monster, and sends it to the graveyard you take half of Mozarta's attack points as damage!"
The dragon fired a blast.
"Wait Mozarta has 2600 attack points so how many points is it halved?" Asriel asked confused.
"It's 1300 Asriel." Chara answered. "And with the 2500 points the damage is equaled to 3800."
Yuzu just watched as Mozarta shattered from the blast.
Yuzu: 0000
Winner: Yuya Sakaki.
"Whoa..." Frisk trailed off amazed. "That's how the game works."
"That's right, so would you three like to become students of You Show and learn how to become Entertainment Duelists yourselves?" Mr. Sakaki inquired to Frisk, Chara, and Asriel.
Frisk smiled, "I would love too!"
"You bet! After seeing that I would like to do it myself!" Asriel agreed.
"Then that makes all three of us." Chara smiled.
Frisk took a look at Yuya who offered a hand to Yuzu, and blushed a little though nobody noticed.
"Well then it's my pleasure to take all three of you as students of You Show." Mr. Sakaki smiled as Frisk, Chara, and Asriel nodded happily.
Ulrich362: And with that, the three Dreemurrs have made the decision to attend You Show.
bopdog111: Yep ready to start their own Dueltaining Careers.
Ulrich362: We'll have to see where that goes for the three of them. Hope you are enjoying this fic and are looking forward to the coming chapters.
bopdog111: We'll see you guys in the next chapter!
