A Fallen Soul

I do not own Yu-gi-oh ZEXEL or any of the characters; however the plot that lies before these characters, and the Characters that are my own, are completely mine. Figured get this out of the way.

Hello everyone, SpiritofDestinyAlexiel here, first time writing a story for Yu-gi-oh ZEXEL, I have started watching the series and I have just got to the Semi-finals of the World Duel Carnival. However couldn't help myself with what I have found online. I have found that I enjoy Yuma x Astral pairing. I also enjoy various other pairings of different series. So here's the full summary of this story:

As Astral and Yuma's journey continues, Astral is plagued with visions that he does not remember, or know of their origin. However along with these visions, he is confused with his own feelings, with one particular duelist and his partner. Along the way, Astral finds that he may not be the only one from Astral World, however with that in mind, he does not know this envoy's intentions or even why they are there? What does a famous singer/duelist have to play in this and their upcoming battles? Also this story is rated M for Mature.

Also need to get something out of the way, I will simply ignore any hate I receive, but I do enjoy things that are constructive, I enjoy input, and maybe even consider using those Ideas, however as it has been said, "This is my story."

I hope I can make this a long story, however I will put it out there, I am a pre-nursing student, and also a major gamer/anime fan. I will try to update as often as I can. It should be noted that I will entering my more difficult classes, such as A&P. I guess you can say, I see Yuma in myself, I will push myself as hard as I can and reach my goal of becoming a nurse and help people.

Yuma: "Oh yea, feel the flow and High Five the Sky!"

Alexiel: … "Where did you come from Yuma?"

Yuma: "I could sense your determination so I popped in."

Astral: "As usual Yuma, you act to brash…"

Yuma: *Aggitated marks appear on his forehead* "You're not helping either Astral!"

Alexiel: "Stop it, both of you. Everyone, I should also point out that this will be written without any form of proofreading, I do not have a beta reader, however I have taken quite a bit of writing classes, so I am aware of a story's flow…I know you're going to say something so, Yuma don't…you dare!" *Glares daggers*

Yuma: *shuts up*

Alexiel: *Ahems* I will try to keep it as good as I can, although I am not the best when it comes to the use of the semicolon and such, but I am not the grammar police. Here I will now introduce you to the story with a prologue about what might happen in the

Future of this story? I hope you all enjoy! And if you wish to R&R that would appreciated!

Also note: This will not have too much Astral or Yuma, but they will make a brief appearance.

A Fallen Soul
Prologue: The Prophecy

In the not too past, a man who looked of a middle age, stood outside a set of double doors, with a look of anxiety appearing on his face, the reason for this expression, the love of his life, was beyond those doors. She had become pregnant, with his child, although, for most children born of the Astral beings, this one felt that their appearance was not required as of yet, at least until this day. After what seemed like an eternity in his mind, another female appearing from the now open doors, she smiled sweetly to the anxious father-to-be, "Your highness, come meet your daughter…" she motioned him to enter.

A look of happiness appeared on his face, the child was safe, and it was a female. He bet she would end up looking like her mother, always hoping that his little girl had some of his features as well. As he entered, the woman that held his heart, a look of exhaustion gracing her normally energetic personality, she smiled to her husband, "Eliphas, come meet our daughter…"

When suddenly a intense light which then turned quickly dark, the just born child that was yet to be named started to cry, sensing something, however she didn't even know how to communicate it. When the disturbance quieted down, a being with a black aura, blurry but then they started to speak, "So, this is your child, well with her, I shall place a curse upon her, one that no force in this or any world can undo…" There Black Hand stretched out, then streams of darkness went for the child, "I place the soul of the one that will destroy all things…When the time is right, it will devour her soul, and then the great beast of burden will be unleashed and destroy all worlds!"

The child's mother tried to cover her child, "You will not harm my child!"

The being then laughed evilly, "Oh, dear Edna, you cannot stop this curse…you are not strong enough, for no force that exists in this or any world will stop the coming of the great beast!" the streams of darkness reached out and then went through the mother and grabbed the young child, which then started crying. The darkness then seeped into the young child's body. Eliphas then charged at the being, "Stay away from my child!" he then summoned his blade and then slashed at the being, but the blade did not make contact, it instead went through the being.

The being then mockingly laughed, "You cannot change that child's fate…she will die and then the Great Beast shall be unleashed…Your daughter will die…and there is nothing you can do…Eliphas! Soon…all that you know and care for, will fall into the true depths of darkness, where no light escapes, no one will be safe!"As they said that they disappeared as quickly as they appeared, then their child started crying, as she was, a number appeared on the small child's chest, and in her crystal clear eyes, with a small sliver of purple. The child then looked to mother and father, her light silver blonde hair softly glowing; she then stopped crying but then just whimpered.

Edna then rocked her child, "It's alright…your safe now my dear child…" She then looked to Eliphas, "What about the name, Stella Luna, Eliphas?"

Eliphas smiled, "Edna, that is a wonderful name and it fits her very much."

Edna looked to her husband and the love of her life, with concern in her eyes for her child, she looked to her husband with a look of sadness, "What about the curse Eliphas placed on our child? What can we do about it?"

Eliphas sat by his wife, showing her determination and resolution in his eyes, "I will find a way to break this curse; I will not allow my child to die or allow this world to be destroyed."

They were interrupted when one of the maidens walked in, "Excuse me intrusion on your privacy, your highnesses, however the elder is here."

Eliphas nodded, "See her in…" then he thought that the elder might have more information about the events that have just taken place.

The woman slowly entered, she looking like time was kind to her, but looking her age, many do not know the elder's actual age. However she was walking with an aid of a walking stick, which many would agree that time though kind in her looks, not with her body. She looked up to Eliphas, brushing a stray group of hair that was blocking one of her eyes, which was completely whitened out with no iris or pupils. "Oh my, who is this young one?"

Edna smiled, "This is Stella Luna, isn't she beautiful?"

The elder smiled, "She certainly has her mother's looks, but I also see of her father as well." The elder approached closer and then sat on Edna's opposite side, her eyes looking into Stella Luna's. Her crystal clear eyes looked into the elder's holding sadness, to which a soft whimper came across her lips.

"What is wrong little one? Why are you so sad…?" The elder then placed a wrinkly hand on the little ones, and then was given a vision of what just happened, seeing for a moment of the child's future. "Oh my…this is not good."

Edna then looked to the elder, "Is there anything that we can do elder, to stop it from happening?" She then gently brushed her slender fingers through Stella's hair.

Eliphas then looked to the elder, "Have you seen anything like this before elder?"

The Elder looked solemnly, and then answered Eliphas, "What your child has been cursed with, is something that pre-dates even the birth of Astral World." She then stood up, "Not even the Barian World's strongest forces could defeat this being."

Edna interrupted, "You mean this curse, and what that person said, and it is a being that not even our strongest beings can bring down? What I am asking, is there any way to stop this creature from killing our child?" Her voice held sadness, she trembled slightly.

The Elder placed a hand on Edna's shoulder, "This creature can only be contained, if it awakens…" she looked up to the ceiling, though she was really to the sky, "…No force, no being will be spared. However you shouldn't lose hope." She then looked into Edna's white eyes, "Only a grand force of light will have a chance against it. It will feed on Stella's energy, but Stella has strength, something that no one in Astral World has. However this strength is incomplete." The Elder stood up, "She will need to be trained; She must be shown that she can contain the beast. However it will come at a great price. If she were to lose this strength, she too will be claimed by the beast…though it has many names, the humans for example, call this creature The Dark Prince, We Astral beings, you learned what is called the Beast of Burden…however what is known to many…is its unknown name, the original number…" '666…' The elder thought to herself, 'it has been awakened…'

Eliphas then approached the Elder, "I will train her, please Elder, tell me what I should tell her."

The Elder then looked to Eliphas, "I will teach you what you need to teach her, however for the child's safety, and for your own, you shouldn't tell her about the power that rests within her soul."

(A Time Skip, Stella Luna is now 16)

When Stella Luna became of a young looking 16 years, her body had developed, along with her long silver/blonde hair, her body had become thin, but with some decent muscle development. Her crystal clear eyes, which still had the sliver of purple, and she had retained her mother's eye style of no pupils, her body was light blue, with a small haze of purple, though you had to look closely to see it. She had white gems on various places on her body, and blue patterns that were darker than her own skin tone. She stood ready to defend herself, wearing light armor, an astral blade, which was average in size; she then took a defensive stance, "Come at me then!" She called out; this was part of her regular routine. For as long as she could remember, her father trained her, for what she did not know. Father always explained that it was for something bigger than her. She would try to get more information out of him, but he wouldn't budge. Then as her opponent came charging at her, she then noticed that her opponent left himself wide open, she then ducked slightly, allowing herself to get closer and used the handle of her blade, and then knocked it into her opponent's chin, she then used the momentum to leap above her opponent and then her long hair floating freely around her, she then pointed her blade at her opponent's chin, but held it there. "You shouldn't leave your defenses open…you did that on purpose. You don't think I can honestly win. You know your mean sometimes…Astral."

The young man, who looked about the age of 15, with his white Mohawk like hair, and then brushed himself off, "No really, Stella-hime, I wouldn't do that."

Stella then puffed, "Astral, I told you, don't call me Stella-hime, Just Stella."

Eliphas then approached them and laughed, "You know Astral; my daughter is very good at reading people. Picked it up from me, at least I like to think so, however I need your presence, and it is about your upcoming quest."

Stella pouted, "Are you sure that is Father for, 'I'm going to basically say that you will need to stay away from my daughter' because if it is the case, then why must you treat me, like a child!" She sheathed her sword, small tears formed in her eyes, "Stop treating me like a child! I am old enough to understand things, I'm not 6 anymore." She clutched her fist and then ran off.

Eliphas sighed, "Forgive her Astral…She is just frustrated with me, I will not tell something that since she young, something that she shouldn't know."

Astral then questioned, "Wouldn't it be better to tell her, your highness?"

Eliphas shook his head, "Unfortunately, I do not, and will not. Now as per your mission…" Eliphas then walked with Astral explaining what was to come for the young soldier.

Edna was in her room, when she heard Stella's door slam, she softly sighed, and then walked away from what she was doing, and then softly knocked on Stella's door, "May I come in, Stella?"

However as soon as Stella entered her room, she didn't hear her mother's call. She felt her head pounding, her anger about what happened earlier still ringing in her ears; she didn't understand why father would push people away from her. She then felt something like a heartbeat in her ears, which then turned into a mocking laugh, 'what is the matter little Stella, are you feeling isolated?'

Stella then felt pain in her head, "Who or what are you? Get out of my head!"

The voice then continued, 'There is no getting rid of me, child. You will be the reason I will unleashed on the world. Because of you, I will be reborn!'

Stella had no idea what was going on, however it was causing her great pain, which then she screamed in both pain and frustration. Edna heard this and came rushing in, and noticed that the same numbers that she saw on her young Stella, had once again appeared. She then wrapped her arms around her daughter, and softly singed a hymn, something that the elder taught her, in case something like this happened, "Oh sweet child of light, I hear your troubling plight, hear this song and know why, when you make me cry…I do not want to see you die…" She then kissed Stella's forehead, and repeated the hymn adding lines as she continued to sing, to which the effect Stella ended up falling asleep in her mother's arms.

Edna picked up her child, though it was quite different than when she was little. She knew that when this happened now, she would have to tell her husband. As if he was summoned, he appeared at Stella's bedroom door. "Astral has left for his quest…" He saw that his wife was holding their child, "Did it happen again?"

Edna nodded, "The Elder said that this would happen, she needs to leave this world." She then brushed her child's hair, "Although I do not want to send her, I just wish there was another way to save her."

(An additional time skip, A/N: Just to note, Astral World's and the Human's time move differently.)

While a young man wearing a green duel gazer, his black and red spiky hair which defied gravity saw, his opponent's life points drop to zero, and a Win appearing with his face appears, "Oh Yea, I so felt the flow in that duel!" he shouted in victory.

Then the blue Astral being floating next to the young man sighed softly, "Though you have won this duel Yuma, you are still reckless…wining by only 100 life points though a victory…was still too close for comfort, after all…you knew this was a battle for a number card. You know my fate…if we lose. " He spoke solemnly.

"Oh come on Astral, we still won that duel, and we are able to claim his number!" Yuma called out.

Astral then reached his hand out, calling out to the card, and then grabbing it, It was number 57, Tri-Head Dust Dragon, as soon as Astral touched the card, a memory flashed before his eyes, but not like the others, his vision saw a girl about his age, who went from having a smile, to that of a face of sadness, and that is all that he saw. Astral held his head slightly, it was a strange memory…he didn't quite understand it.

Yuma then looked to Astral, "You alright Astral?"

Astral maintained a neutral expression. "I am fine Yuma…"

Unaware to both Yuma and Astral, above where they dueled, someone was standing in the shadows, observing their duel; they smiled to themselves, "I hope we can meet soon…Yuma Tsukumo…"

Well that is the prologue; I should explain a few things.

Like I already mentioned Astral World and the Human World will have extreme time differences.

I am sort of using the concept of the devil, 666, but there is actually going to be more to it, but I am as they say, planting the seed of plot and allowing it to grow.

The pairings are going to be, implied: AstralxOC. While ones that I will have paired up no implications: AstralxYuma, YumaxOC, and YumaxAstralxOCxOC. That last one will be fun!

I'm going to follow-ish the ZEXEL plot, but not to a T.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message, otherwise I hope to see you all in the next chapter!
