1. Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! I do however own my OC's.

Author's Note: There will be my own created cards used in this story for extra dramatic twists, but most cards will be real. This story is set in the future after the events of Zexal: For the sake of my story, I'm assuming that Yuma won the Duel Carnival and this story will ignore all new parts of Zexal after the Duel Carnival.

Chapter 1: A Dark Revelation

In the Year 2030, the world of dueling has evolved greatly. Yuma Tsukumo has won the Duel Carnival and has earned an invite to the 1st Annual Intercontinental Duel Monsters Grand Championship.

Another Duelist making headline news is Yusei Fudo. At the age of 25, he has become the Continental Champion of the Asian Pro League. As a result he has received an invite to the Grand Championship.

A 30 year old duelist with the spirit of someone half his age is seen standing on a cliff with a certificate in his right hand. That man is none other than Jaden Yuki. "Grand Championship, huh," Jaden stated," Looks like I'll have a chance for my rematch. I hope you're ready to get your game on, Yugi."

_"You're what !," exclaimed the CEO of Kaiba Corp to a man with strange hair standing in front of him in what appears to be a gameshop. The man answered," I'm retiring, Kaiba. I'm 40 if you haven't noticed. It's not like I can duel forever." Kaiba asked," Well what am I supposed to do about my tournament ?" Yugi answered," Well you advertised that the King of Games will be competing, but if I'm retiring I guess that title goes to the second best." Kaiba stated," Yugi, I can't accept that title without beating you first." Yugi retorted," Well, I didn't say it was you, did I Kaiba." Kaiba was dumbstruck," If not me, then who ?" Yugi answered with a smirk," Let me show you. Hey Dark, come here for a second." A boy that was about 6 foot tall and pretty slim, with short black hair walked into the room. "You're son ? But he just started dueling 2 weeks ago. How can you expect him to be the King of Games," asked Kaiba. Yugi answered," Well he has learned very quickly. He might not be Game King material yet, but he is ready for a tournament." Yugi directed his look to his 15 year old son while still talking to Kaiba," He's only dueled with structure decks so far, but he's been working on a deck for afew days." Now Yugi completely shifted to talk to Dark," Is it ready yet son ?" Dark answered," Almost father. I used as much money as I needed from your Tournament winnings like you told me too, but there are 3 cards left that aren't available that I had to ask Pegasus to reprint for me. I waiting for his answer to my request." A loud flamboyant voice rang through everyone's eardrums," Ohhh, Darky boy." Everyone looked over to see a man stepping out of a car that looked like it stretched out for miles. That man was none other than Maximillion Pegasus himself. Pegasus pulled something from his shirt pocket and turned to Dark," Darky boy, I have something for you." Pegasus handed Dark 3 cards but not before Kaiba saw them and got an angry look on his face," What you remade my Blue-Eyes !"
