Me: Hello everyone, this is loving author A5L. This is my first crossover story of Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL and Sonic the Hedgehog, so goes easy on it. I asked some people here in FanFiction and DeviantART for help, they gave me some ideas for cards for some of the people of the story in future chapters, but I'm not telling you who those people are. Hope you all will like it, so monkeys in the back, Roll the disclaimer and the story!

Above a city where towers are covered in lights, stars slightly showing in the night sky, a shooting star was traveling through. But there was something different about the shooting 'star'. The 'star' was glowing emerald green, as the 'star' itself looked like a fine-cut emerald, traveling at the same speed as a regular shooting star. But there was another object in the sky, flying in the wind. The object in question was a card with a brown backing on it with a spiral in this middle (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL World Duel Carnival backing). As the card was flying in the wind, it flipped face-up to reveal the front blank white. Both card and shooting 'star' were heading in the same direction and same location. A young soul's life and destiny would change forever.

DUELING FREEDOM

Chapter 1: Transported to a New World! Here's Alex Loredo!

(Location Change - Earth - New Domino City - The Tops)

In one of the towering buildings, inside a pant house, stood a 21-year-old Latin American young man with brown eyes, black spiky hair, wearing a red shirt with a black cross design that was under a gray sweater-jacket with a black tribal design, blue pants with a white stripes on the knees that wear held by a black belt with a silver chain, black fingerless gloves, and black street shoes. On his left arm, a strange device with a deck of cards in a slot, the device was colored royal blue and silver with red gems. This young man is Alex Loredo.

He was standing outside of the pant house, looking as the night sky, "Man, this place is way too boring," He talked to himself, "wish something good would happen."As soon as he said that, the blank card from before, landed on his face, back first. This caught him by surprise as he took the card off his face and flipped it to see the blank white front. "What the... a blank Duel Monster card?" he asked, "Where did this come from?" Then the shooting 'star' fell from the sky and landed inside the pant house pool. He looked inside the pool and saw something glowing green and said, "What the heck was that?!"

He walks towards a bench as he took off the device, his jacket, shirt, shoes and socks. He then placed the blank card into his deck. As he walked away from his belongings, the mysterious card slightly glowed silver for a moment, but Alex didn't notice it. As he jumped into the pool, he searched around until he saw something glowing green. He swam towards the glowing green 'star' to only see a fine-cut emerald. He picked up the unknown jewel and swam to the surface. As Alex surfaced, he took a big gasp of air and swam towards the edge of the pool and got out. He walked towards the bench where his belongings are, sat down as he stared at the emerald.

"What the heck are you?" he asked the emerald, "Where did you come from?" As soon as he asked his second question, the emerald started to glow brightly! "What the…!" he yelled as the glow covered him and his belongings, and a beam of light shot out towards the sky, leaving no trace of Alex Loredo.

(Location Change - Mobius - Great Forest - Lake of Rings)

In a giant forest, it was all peaceful. There was no sound to be heard in the area, besides the wind blowing. In the middle of the forest, was a large body of water that glittered in the sunlight. The wind suddenly started to blow faster while the water started to rippled. A flash of green light appeared next to the water. The light died down to reveal Alex Loredo, who somehow is wearing his clothes and device again, lying face-down and unconscious as the emerald was floating above Alex. Hiding above the trees, was a floating camera, transmitting the feed it recorded to its owner.

(Location Change -Mobius - The EggDome)

In another part of the world, stood a huge egg-shaped dome in the ruins of a destroyed city. At the top of the dome is a red face symbol with a black painted glasses-shaped eyes and a huge mustache (Eggman Empire Symbol). Search lights were around the building, in case of intruders. There were robots guarding the entrance of the building. Inside the building, a rather tall, almost egg-shaped man with a orange mustache and large nose, white gloves, a red jacket with black and gold designs, a pair of black pants, black suede shoes, and a pair of tiny blue glasses and goggles, sat on a metallic chair as he and two small robots, one in a shape of a orb and the other is cubed-shaped, watched the live video feed of Alex laying unconscious next to the large body of water.

"I believe that was Chaos Control sir," analyzed the orb robot to its master, "that has brought the young man right next to the Lake of Rings."

"Interesting," said the fat- (Dr. Eggman Note: What was that?!) I mean, well-rounded man (Dr. Eggman Note: That's better.), "I was wondering what happen to fourth emerald, since the other 3 are at that disgusting hedgehog," he growled, "that emerald must've traveled to a new world in order to bring this young man to Mobius for some purpose I don't even know," as he and his robot minions saw the glowing emerald hit the young man's head and landed next to him, "Orbot, Cubot, get Lien-Da, some Legionnaires', and some Egg Pawns ready, we're going to meet the young man."

"Yes sir." Saluted Orbot.

"Ye got it partner." Said the cubed robot in a cowboy voice.

"AND FIX CUBOT'S VOICE CHIP!" ordered the doctor.

"A-at once, sir." Stuttered the orb robot.

Unknown to the trio, a robotic fly with a camera was spying them as it flew away.

(Location Change - Mobius - Freedom HQ)

Inside a large, hill sized structure, covered by light brown brick-like objects, was a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog with green eyes, peach muzzle, arms, and belly, his quills had two quills on his back with his head quills were six sleek quills, wearing white gloves, a gold bracelet with a blue jewel on his right wrist, red and white shop shoes with white socks, a necklace of a guitar, a light brown belt around his chest that is attached to sheath, which holds a sword on his back was watching the video of Dr. Eggman and his minions getting ready. Next to the hedgehog was a light and dark brown anthropomorphic squirrel hybrid with short red hair, blue eyes, a short tail, wearing a blue and white shirt that was under a short blue jacket with white stripes, blue gloves with white fingertips, blue shorts with white stripes that were held by a black belt, and blue and white boots.

"What do you think Sally?" asked the hedgehog turning to the chipmunk, "Should we help the guy, after hearing Egg-head, the doc would try to roboticized the guy."

"We should Sonic," answered the chipmunk/Sally, "He was taken from his home thanks to the Chaos Emerald, and besides," she than saw the device on Alex's left arm, "that device on the guy's arm is interesting, but weird, would Eggman use that device against us?"

"I got ya Sal," said Sonic as he looked back to the screen, "Hey Nicole, can you contact Tails and Amy, tell them to get ready, we're going on a rescue mission."

-You got it Sonic. - said a voice, but it was digital.

"Are you sure we can trust the guy after we rescue him Sonic?" asked Sally as she looks at Sonic, "I mean, what if he betrays us?"

"I know he won't, I have a feeling he's going to help us against Eggman and stop all this madness." As he said that, he started walking out of the computer room, stopped outside of the room and looked back, "You coming or what Sally?"

Sally looks at Sonic's confident face as she looks back at the monitor, seeing Alex's confused face on Eggman's computers from the spy fly, thinking back at the times Sonic saving her and many others around the world. She looks back to Sonic with confidence on her face and said, "Yeah Sonic, I'm coming." She walks away from the computer and met with Sonic outside the room as they hear a jet engine coming to their ears.

(Location Change - Mobius - Great Forest - Lake of Rings)

After getting a painful wake up call, Alex looks around his surroundings, seeing giant trees that he never seen before, a large body of water that looks pure, no pollution in the air. He was surprised to see something this pure in a long time, since the Satellite Sector over at New Domino City.

"This is the first time I've seen something like this so beautiful," he whispered as he looked around the forest, "nothing back home was this pure… the air… the sky," he looked at the glowing emerald in his right hand and asked, "why did you bring me here, away from my home," he then placed the emerald in jacket pocket, "well whatever it is, can't stay in one place."

"I agree!" said a voice.

Alex was surprised to hear a voice; he looked around his surroundings until he looked up to see several orbs flying. As the orbs landed, hatches opened up to reveal some egg-shaped robots of vermillion, amber, grey, and cyan wielding lances and black robed people with the inside red with glaring yellow eyes. Two small hovering crafts with a distinct egg-shape. Other typical features included black and yellow hazard stripes on the sides of the crafts, and a small circular lamp on the front.

Inside in one of the hovercrafts was Dr. Eggman and his two robot minions, Orbot (who is reading a book) and Cubot (who is somewhat drinking hot coffee/oil). In the other hovercraft took Alex for surprise, a red anthropomorphic echidna with cold blue eyes, rose red on top of her dreadlocks, and wearing a black, leather jumpsuit that hugged her figure, black gloves, and black boots. Once the hovercrafts landed, both the human and echidna got out of the vehicles as the egg-shaped man walked towards Alex and stopped 4-feet from the duelist.

"Hello and welcome to Mobius my young friend," smiled the evil doctor, "my name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik, or Dr. Eggman for short."

Alex was un-sure of Dr. Eggman, he cannot explain it, but somehow he had gain this mysterious ability to sense a person's heart from light and darkness, and Alex could sense a lot of darkness in the doctor's heart, in the echidna, and in the black robed people. Alex crossed his arms and glared at Eggman as he introduced himself, "My name is Alex Loredo, and that's all you need to know."

My, my, serious aren't we," smiled Eggman as he introduced his companions, "these are my associates, the echidna Mobian is Lien-Da, my robotic minions Orbot and Cubot, and my personal army, the Dark Egg Legion and Egg Pawn army. I like to personal invite you to join my army, the Eggman Empire!"

The otherworlder just stared at the fat man (Dr. Eggman Note: Hey! Author Note: Don't like it, TOUGH LUCK!), still not trusting him. He could see the sinister look through Eggman's glasses, the evil glare from the female echidna's eyes, the robots and legionnaires getting their weapons ready. He then looked into Eggman's eyes and asked, "If I refuse?"

Dr. Eggman looked into the young man's eyes and answered, "I'll have you roboticized and make you my personal servent-bot, and does that answer your question?"

"Yah it does," as Alex said that, he got into fighting position that got the doctor to back away, "and you can take your offer of me joining your little army and shove down your fat throat."

"I see," said Eggman as he walked away from the young man and boarded his vehicle, "you made the wrong decision of not joining me boy, Lien-Da!"

"Yes Dr. Eggman?" answered the female echidna.

"Order your Dark Legion to attack and tire the fool out, we need him alive to roboticized him." order the doctor.

"At once sir, Legionnaires!" yelled Lien-Da.

"Egg Pawns, attack..." Eggman's ordered was interrupted by the sound of a jet engine in the air and a sonic boom on the land as a blue blur was cutting the Egg Pawns in half and knocking some of the Dark Legion out. When the dust started to settle, the evil doctor could see the shape of the person that destroyed his robots and taking down the Dark Legion, "no, not him... NOT THAT BLASTED HEDGEHOG!"

"What's up Egg-head, were you expecting something else?" the dust settled to reveal the spoken figure, Sonic the Hedgehog, who was holding a double-edged sword. Its guard was a gold circle with small gold 'wings' on the sides while the hilt was scarlet red with a gold end. Above the hedgehog was a white jet plane (The X-Tornado) that landed behind Sonic. Two hatches opened up to reveal three more figures, one of which was Sally Acorn. Another was a female pink anthropomorphic hedgehog with light green eyes; her quills were cut close to her nerves within them while she had a red hair band with feathers in her hair, wearing a red and white sports shirt, magenta and white pants, gold bracelets on her wrist, a yellow plaid sweater around her stomach, and short red and white boots. At the pilot seat of the plane was a two-tailed orange anthropomorphic fox with light blue eyes, wearing aviator goggles on his head, metal bands on his wrists, and half red and white shoes. As the other three saviors landed to the ground, they pulled out their weapons, a pair of tonfa for the squirrel, a red and yellow hammer for the pink hedgehog, and red rings for the two-tailed fox.

(Now Playing Battle Music: Honest Eyes - Black Tides)

"GGGGRRR… Destroy them!" ordered the mad doctor as the robots and legionnaires charged toward the heroes.

Sonic dashed towards the evil army as he slashed some the robots to pieces, punched and kicked some the Dark Legion. "Come on Eggman, is that all you got?" the speedy hedgehog taunted as he took down more robots.

"Don't get in my way!" roared the pink hedgehog as whacked the black robed legionnaires away from her smashed some the robots flat, "You won't get in my way!"

"You got to feel sorry for those guys." Tails said as he spun his two tails to fly over the enemy as he threw the red rings towards the legionnaires, in which the exploded into a smokescreen. As the smoke cleared, the legionnaires were knocked out, nut the robots were still moving. The Egg Pawns fired lasers to the flying fox, but he dodged them as Tails pulled out yellow rings and threw them to the robots, which sent out electricity into the robots. The robots stopped moving as one of them fell down. "All right! The Knock-Out Rings and Electro Rings worked!" cheered Tails.

The squirrel was taking down the soldiers with her tonfa and martial arts. She was looking around her area to make sure it was safe, until a whip came towards her. Sally jumped out of the way to see Lien-Da with the same whip that attacked the squirrel.

"Come on 'Princess'," sneered the female echidna as she cracked her whip, "let's see what you got." She charged towards Sally as Lien-Da hit the squirrel in the gut, but Sally hit Lien-Da in the face via spin kick.

"What does Eggman want with overlander Lien-Da" Sally asked she punched the female echidna in the gut.

"How should I know?" Lien-Da answered as she did a leg sweep to Sally, "And frankly, I don't care!"

The echidna tried to punch Sally in the face, but squirrel grabbed the punch and circle thrown her right into a tree, knocking Lien-Da out, "Never mess with this princess." Said Sally as she ran toward her friends.

Alex was surrounded as 5 members of the Dark Legion were to his right as the Egg Pawn was to left. He looks at them as he lifted his right arm and did the "just bring it" gesture. One of the legionnaires ran towards Alex, but the human caught him and did a belly to belly suplex. One of the robots ran to Alex, but it got caught by the legs as the human did a spinebuster. As Alex got up, he ran towards to one of the legionnaires and tackled him with a spear. Another Egg Pawn got behind the human as he got up, Alex turned around to face the robot and superkicked it's head off, then grabbed the throat of a Dark Legion member, feeling something cold like metal, picked him up and chokeslammed him. A robot charged towards Alex, but the human jumped and dropkicked it. Alex, while down on the ground, kicked another legionnaire in the gut, got up and perform a DDT to the head. The last two Egg Pawns ran towards Alex with their arms out, but Alex ducked and ran towards them with HIS arms out in order to clotheslined them. It was down to one last legionnaire and Alex as they circled each other, starring into one another eyes. The last soldier ran towards the human, but Alex picked him up to his shoulders for a fireman's carry, and throws the black robed person off his shoulders, right into Alex's left knee, knocking him out. Alex walked away from the carnage that was around him.

(End Battle Music: Honest Eyes - Black Tides)

As the four heroes and Alex were reunited, the Mobians were confused as to why the human was with them, but Alex had a reason to why he was with them, he could sense the light with the heroes' hearts. All five heard a laugh as they saw Dr. Eggman flying above them in his vehicle and said, "You five think you won this battle, think again!" More robots came to view as they marched out of the pods. "You haven't won the battle; I'll make sure of that!"

What the 'good' doctor doesn't know, that Alex had activated the device on his left arm, a blade shifted out to reveal an arm blade with 3 slots on the left, a platform extended out to reveal 2 more slots. He then pulled out 4 cards from the deck of cards he had on the device, and placed them on the device.

"You really think so, don't ya Egg-head?" asked the otherworlder as everyone looked at him, "I think some friends would like to meet you Eggman, so they can shut your mouth, right here and now."

"Oh really, and who those friends of yours be?" asked the doctor, as everyone heard a strange sound around them. Some of the Egg Pawns that were near the lake were being watched by a pair of glowing green eyes in the water. As soon as the robots got closer to the lake, something jumped out of the water! A great white shark in red and silver armor, a yellow jewel on its head, and the fins were bladed as it attacked and slashed the robots that were near the water!

'What on Mobius was that?-!' was on everyone's mind as some of Eggman's robots were blown away. In the sky was a yellow-green eagle with red and silver armor on it body, light blue eyes, brown feathers, sharp talons, and silver turbines on its wings. The turbine started to spin as the eagle created a twister to destroy some more robots.

Everyone heard some heavy stomping as a tan triceratops with red and silver armor, a light green jewel on its forehead, and yellow green eyes, charged past the heroes as it destroyed a quarter of the Egg Pawns. It roared in might as Dr. Eggman backed his hovercraft away from the three creatures with nervous look on his face.

A low growl was heard as the last of the robots was melting by what looks like magma as light brown komodo dragon with red and silver armor with yellow eyes was crawling on top of the melted machines. All four armored creatures came towards the heroes, more specifically, towards Alex as they circled around him, glaring at the evil doctor.

"Re... RETREAT!" yelled Eggman as he, the Dark Egg Legion, and the now semi-conscious Lien-Da, who entered her hovercraft as they try to get away from the four mysterious creatures. "THIS ISSUE OVER YOU FOOLS!" yelled the evil doctor as he and army were away.

As soon as it was clear of Eggman and his minions, the four Mobians turned to see Alex petting the shark and triceratops, while he was looking the eagle, and the komodo dragon was somewhat purring near the human's legs. "Thank you for coming and helping us." he said the creatures cried out. Alex deactivated the device on his arms, as the mysterious creatures disappeared in flashes of light.

Alex turned towards to the four Mobians and said, "Thank you for helping me of getting rid of those creeps; they been giving me a bad vibe even since meeting them."

"No problem, after getting the info from Eggman's base, thanks to our little spy fly, name Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog, what's your name?" asked the hedgehog after introducing himself.

"Alex Loredo," smiled Alex as he looked at Sonic's friends, "who're your friends?"

"Amy Rose, the cutest thing alive." answered the pink hedgehog.

"Miles Prower, but everyone calls me Tails." answered the two-tailed fox.

"Princess Sally Acorn." answered Sally. Alex was surprised to hear that the squirrel was a princess, but pushed it aside for a another time.

"Nice to meet you all," greeted Alex as growl came from his stomach, "do you guy have a place for me to stay at, after all the fighting, I'm kind of tired and hungry as it is kind of getting late."

The Mobians knew Alex was right as it was getting dark, thanks to the battle they all had, they could save their questions for tomorrow.

"No problem, we know a place you could stay at." answered Sonic.

"Thank you." said Alex as he followed Tails, Amy, and Sally to the jet. Sonic started to run home as soon everyone was in the jet, as it took to the skies.

(Location Change - Mobius - The EggDome)

Later that night in his fortress, Dr. Eggman was trying to figure out how those armored creatures came to the Great Forest. Every answer he could come up with always comes out wrong. He even did his research on Alex, but all he could see is the unknown device on the human's left arm, but he thought it was nothing special to him.

"ARGH! What is so special about that boy?-!" he yelled as Eggman slammed his hands to the keyboard, those creatures, the boy, where did they come from?-!"

"Maybe I can answer that." said a mysterious voice.

"Wha... Who's there?-!" demanded the doctor as a mysterious figure came into view. Eggman couldn't see his face, as the figure was wearing a black and blue cloak, covering the figure's face. The mysterious figure was holding a card in his right hand, as his skin was blue grey. "Who are you?-!"

"My name is of no importance to you," answered the cloaked figure as he held the card in front of Eggman's face, the card had a green broader as the picture of the card had a fluer-de-lis that was shaped like a lily flower with a red jewel in the middle. The card glowed red as the figure continued saying, "All your questions will be revealed... as you serve the Barians!"

Outside of the EggDome, at the very top glowed red as Eggman screamed in agony, "AAAAAAHHHHHH!"
