Well, this is my first attempt on making a story based on the stories that my friends and I made a few years ago. And then it hit me, instead of keeping it to yourself, why don't you share it with others, right? So, here it is. Enjoy!

PROLOGUE – The Path of No Return

It's been 3 months since I joined the Z-Seperatis Army. What kind of Army is this? Well, it is an organization that recruit duelist from all over the world that is serve to protect the world from harm… or at least, that's what they told me…

Zen: Storm, we just received orders from Commander Saike. The commander wanted us to recruit more duelists for this organization.

Storm: Really? Well, since it's the order from the higher ups, I guess there's nothing I can do about it, huh?

Zen: That's right. All is for the army. Work hard, lad and who knows? Maybe you can be in high ranks in no time.

Zen is the person that was observing me when I first join this group. You can say that he's my mentor or something like that. Judging by the colour of his long, shoulder length white hair and nice suit, which are far more different from mine in cadet suit, you could say that he's been in this company for a long time. Not to mention that he is actually… well, quite carefree and he also mention to me once that rank does not matter (except in formal meetings, because you REALLY don't want to cause any bad situation there…) as long as you create bonds with the army so that everyone could understand each other. I guess you could say that his motivation is also the reason that lets me join this Z-Seperatis Army.

*inside the jeep, while on our way to the destination*

Storm: Um, sir…

Zen: Storm, how many times do I have to tell you? Just call me Zen, alright?

Storm: Right… uh, Zen, who's the person that we're going to recruit this time?

Zen: The duelist that we're gonna recruit this time is Kizuna. She's from a humble village called Ruinsville, the same place that we recruited you, Storm.

Storm: Kizuna… huh?

Zen: Hmm, sounds to me that you knew this girl?

Storm: Well, she's more that a friend. We always are best friends since childhood.

Zen: I see. Maybe bringing you along would convince her to join us.

Storm: So, that's the reason that I was needed to follow you in this recruitment?

Zen: Yep.

Figures… well, at least I can proudly say that it's good to return back home once in a while. At least I know how the condition of my family there as well. But, I'm more excited to see her again. She and I used to be good friends since childhood. Sure, we both do silly things in our past (who doesn't?) and we dueled a lot too… mostly she won due to her skills compared to mine. Whenever we duel, we always making a bet on something like, the loser has to buy ice-cream for the winner, wear silly dresses and such. Man, good old days…

Driver: Um, Zen… I think you should see this…

Zen: What is it?

Storm: *confused* what's wrong?

Both Zen and I stepped out of the jeep and we couldn't believe what we just saw. A Nazcaline that was in a form of a White Wolf on the sky and some sort of white flames that surrounds us to create this Nazcalines.

Storm: What is that thing anyway?

Zen: It's coming from that village…

Storm: No way… Kizuna! *run towards the village*

Zen: Storm, wait! Hey, follow that kid! *went back inside the jeep*

Driver: Y-yes, Zen!

Luckily for me, the village is wasn't too far from where we are. I ran towards the place as quickly as my feet can carry me and I just couldn't believe my eyes. Yes, I can see Kizuna in front of me, but… her long ponytail hair is now turned from pure black to silver and she had white markings all over her face and not to mention she wears a weird cloak that has a Nazcaline in the shape of a wolf.

Storm: Kizuna! Are you okay?

Kizuna: *in pain* Stay away… from me…

Storm: W-what? You look like you need help! I better—

Kizuna: No! Don't! I don't know how long I can hold on anymore… I can't control it any longer… Just stay away from me, please! *kneel down while her hand is at her chest*

Storm: Kizuna! I won't abandon you! You always there for me, now I'm gonna help you out! Please, let me help you!

Kizuna: *her voice changes drastically* Duel me, boy…

Storm: Wha…?

As she stands up and look at me with those dark eyes, I only know one thing… I'm gonna have to save her from that thing possessing her…

Storm: If that's the way that I needed to do, then, let's break it down! *duel disk on*

DUEL! (Turn 1: Kizuna: 4000 = Storm: 4000)

Kizuna: I will draw first! I play a Field Spell, Pseudo Space! *the background shatters and the field that looks like Skyscrapper is now in negative form* I will now summon Earthbound Linewalker in Defense Mode! (1200/1900) and I set 3 cards face down and I end my turn.

(Turn 2: Kizuna: 4000 = Storm: 4000)

Storm: (Just hold on, Kizuna. I'm going to save you…) Here I go! *draw* Here goes something. Since I control no monsters, I can Special Summon Elder of the Six Samurai in Attack Mode! (400/0) and I play a Spell card, Asceticism of the Six Samurai, which allows me to Special Summon 1 Six Samurai onto the field which has the same ATK on the field. Come forth, Kagemusha of The Six Samurai! (400/1800) Let's go! I tune my Elder with my Kagemusha! (3+2=5). A legandary soldier once steps into the battle, the war will be ended! Synchro Summon, take arms, Legendary Six Samurai, Shien! (2500/1400)

Kizuna: Is that all you can do, mortal?

Storm: Not just yet, I called forth Six Samurai – Yariza! (1000/500) and if I control 2 or more Six Samurai, I can special summon Legendary Six Samurai – Kizan! (1800 to 2100/500). Time to battle! Yariza can attack you directly if I control another Six Samurai on the field!

Kizuna: What? (LP = 3000)

Storm: Next, Kizan, attack her Earthbound Linewalker! *slashed her monster in one hit*

Kizuna: Ugh! I activate my trap, Raigeki Break! By discarding 1 card, I can destroy your Shien!

Storm: Not so fast! Once per turn, Shien can negate your trap and spell card and it is destroyed! *Shien using his sword to absorb the lightning which came out of nowhere* Alright, Shien, go attack her directly.

Kizuna: How naïve of you! I activate my trap card, Offering of the Immortal! Since you tried to declare a direct attack and my Life Points are 3000 or less, I can negate that attack and I get 2 tokens and add 1 "Earthbound Immortal" card from my deck.

Storm: Tch. I set a card face-down and end my turn. (Looks like everything is set…)

(Turn 3: Kizuna: 3000 = Storm: 4000)

Kizuna: Now it's my turn! *draw* Say your prayers, boy because I'll sacrifice both of my tokens in order to summon my Earthbound Immortal Yuraq Allcula! *a dark pool is formed in front of us and began to hear screams of the villagers*

Storm: Wha… what is this power?

Zen: (This feeling…) Driver, drive away from this area, now!

Driver: What?

Zen: Move aside! *taken the wheels and stirred it to opposite direction*

Driver: Zen, what's wrong?

Zen: I don't know… something tells me that we better stay away that area for now…

Driver: Z-Zen… look at that!

Zen: *saws the monster* It can't be…

*back to duel*

Kizuna: Awaken from your slumber, feast on this soul as I summon thee… Yuraq Allcula! *the marks on my face began to shine and the once a dark pool now taking form of a big wolf with white lines on it* (3000/3000)

Storm: What is that thing? *look around* That thing took all of the villagers that lives here and it's feeding on it! Kizuna, stop this right now!

Kizuna: That person is no longer live on this world…

Storm: What?

Kizuna: I am now one with my monster! I activate its special ability, when this card is successfully summoned; your entire spell and trap cards are destroyed! And for every card that is destroyed, you take 800 damage!

Storm: *a strong wind pushed me back hard* Wah! (LP = 3200)

Kizuna: And now, take his life points out! Yuraq Allcula, attack him directly!

Storm: What? But I still have my monsters on the field.

Kizuna: My monster can declare a direct attack whenever it wants to. Feel its fury!

As the paw of the white wolf rises, it swings it to me so hard, that I nearly fainted as that damage which I took is real and not to mention I got slammed right towards the wall…

Storm: Ugh… (LP = 200) *slowly stands up* I'm not done… yet…

Kizuna: There is no hope for you… I set a card face down and I end my turn.

(Turn 4: Kizuna: 3000 = Storm: 200)

Storm: My… turn… *draw and panting hard* so, it finally comes down… to this attack… huh…?

Kizuna: What do you have in mind, mortal? Do you really think that card will be your last chance? First of all, I activate my trap card, Roar of the Immortal!

Storm: I won't let that happen! Once per turn, Shien can negate that trap's activation!

Kizuna: How naïve of you, I activate my trap card, Divine Wrath! By discarding 1 card from my hand, Shien is destroyed and my trap card is safe!

Storm: No! Shien! *my Shien is destroyed and Kizan's attack returns to 1800*

Kizuna: Now, what are you going to do now, mortal? If you tried to declare an attack, you just commititing suicide and you only have 1 card left on your hand. Now, be a good boy and surrender yourself to my Earthbound Immortal.

Storm: (Is… is this it? Is there no other way to save her from her fate? What should I do now?) *look at the card* (That's it! There is still hope left for me!) I'm conducting my… battle phase…

Kizuna: What? Are you a fool? You are no match for my Earthbound! What can you possibly do now?

Storm: Go, Yariza! Attack her directly!

Kizuna: Once a fool will always be a fool. Once per turn, while I have an Earthbound Immortal on my side of the field, Roar of The Immortal destroys a monster that declares an attack, which has a lower attack than itself and you take damage equals to half of your monster's attack points!

Storm: Not for long! I play my Quick-Spell Card, Blind Spot Strike! I can increase Yariza's attack points equals to your monster's defense points! (1000 to 4000) True, your monster can't be dstroyed via card effects but that doesn't mean that I can't copy your monster's defense! Finish it off with Piercing Fang!

Kizuna: Impossible! (LP = 0)

(Duel End. Winner = Storm)

Storm: Kizuna! *rushed towards her and kneel down as I hold her hand* Kizuna, are you okay?

Kizuna: *laying on the ground and speaks weakly* S…Storm… you came…

Storm: Don't worry, Kizuna. Everything is going to be alright now… right?

Kizuna: No… my fate has been sealed already…

Storm: What do you mean?

Kizuna: When we were children, I have caught an infection that cannot be recovered. Everyday, the condition worsens but I keep it hidden and pretend nothing happen. Ever since you and I became friends, you've showed me hope to live on up to this day, you always makes me feel happy no matter what was the situation you have to face… and now… after you left… you know the rest…

Storm: Kizuna… I never know that have happened to you…

Kizuna: I… I have something to tell you… *began to fade*

Storm: Kizuna, please don't disappear on me… *tears began to fall*

Kizuna: No matter what happens… I always… love you… *give him a warm smile before disappears completely*

Storm: No… *takes her pendent and the card as more tears falling* KIZUNAAAA!

Well, this is just the prologue of this story. The duel is based on our real duel except the Earthbound Immortal Yuraq Allcula. All credits goes to the respective owners. But the OCs are mine!
