Inspired by my latest drawing, the chimera of the Yus. You can find it on DeviantART and Tumblr (same name as here).
Basically is:
What if the tropes "Dark Is Not Evil" and "The Sacred Darkness" apply to ARC-V as well?
Leo sat on his chair in the hall of Academia. This was a particular day. He was waiting some... special people.
The large doors opened slightly, and a young man slowly entered them, staring intently at the Headmaster.
«Greetings father. We're here to overthrow you.»
Sure enough, various young teens entered behind Reiji. The remains of the Lancers.
Leo smiled. «My son. I see you worked hard since your last visit.»
Reiji just pushed up his glasses. «Your reign of terror ends here.»
Leo just looked down at him. «Do you really think you and your "boy band" will be able to stop me?»
At that, one of the persons behind Reiji snapped and held up his left arm, proudly showing his Xyz Dimension model Duel Disk.
«Cut down the bullshit, Akaba! Of course we'll mop the floor with you!»
Reiji just held his arm in front of him. «No, Kurosaki. You are too tired. Let him do this.»
«Him?» wondered sarcastically the old man.
Reiji looked up at him and smiled smugly. «Yes, him.» He paused a moment. «Yu.»
After the monosyllable name was heard, the large and heavy door behind them slammed open, covered by darkness.
Everyone turned to the man who walked through them then.
Only the head was visible, as the body was covered by a gray coat from shoulders to toes. Not that the head didn't catch attention: it was framed by incredibly wild and irregular hair, made up of even 8 colors: red, black, blue, fuchsia, green, purple, yellow, and violet. A sky-blue gem covered by metallic wings hanged from the figure's neck as a pendant. The face was extremely harsh, with striking eyes: the irises were each divided in four differently-colored sectors (red, gray, light blue, and fuchsia).
«Our name is Destruction God Yu.» four voices said in perfect sync: Yuya's, Yuto's, Yugo's, Yuri's.
Still walking towards him, his mouth moved to form a wicked-looking grin.
«Our mission is defeating the unholy bastard you are, and bring back the Creation Goddesses.»
Leo stared at the chimerical being.
«Looks like the four male pieces combined their powers to revive the Destruction God.» he mused, «Including Yuri. I think I should consider this a betrayal.»
«You dared to disrupt the delicate equilibrium that us and our beloved Creation Goddesses created with so much work.»
All of sudden, the being's eyes started glowing white. Darkness gushed out from the bottom of the cape as he started to float in air, forming floundering pitch-black tentacles, and an equally pitch-black Duel Disk blade sprang out of thin air in front of him. The pendant began glowing brightly, and the being spread his arms causing the cape to flow behind him, revealing it to be iridescent on the inner side, as it continuously switched between a black starry sky, violet, white, and green & orange. As for last touch, a Deck materialized on his left arm in a flash of darkness.
«For this crime against the Universe, you shall be judged by one of the ancient Games of Darkness! Welcome to hell, Akaba Leo!» the being spat venomously.
Leo held up his own left arm, activating a modified, bulkier version of the Academia Duel Disk. «Tsk. We'll see if you self-proclaimed deity have what it takes to defeat my ultimate Deck.»
Both players drew five cards.

«Duel.»«Duel!»
Shun stared up at the chimera that was about to end all of this. «Yuto...»
So yeah, it was a bit inspired by Count Bleck from Super Paper Mario and Raven from Teen Titans.
