Hello Fanfiction Readers...this is MercyChimes. I have come to this site to read and write fanfictions. I can only hope that my contributions and involvements with this site to grow farther. But you came to read this story so I won't stop you and neither my sisters, so enjoy. I do not own Yugioh Arc-V or Zexal. Those belong to Konami. Oh! And the art belongs to Zerochan artist called Dyunasumon.
It Begins
"Say ahh..." a teen with a questioning look on his face asked pulling back a chocolate mushroom for the certain blue-haired girl that was Rio Kamishiro. Rio quickly snapped out of her thoughts to look at the teen who's name is Yuou. The both of them were at the park sitting on a bench waiting for Shark to pick her up after spending that day in the city of Heartland having some fun away from school.
"Sorry." she said biting into the chocolate. "I was thinking about something else." How did they meet you ask? Rio got hit by a drunk truck driver and was rendered unconscious for a while. However during that time her mind went to a another realm where she met Yuou. The two hit it off not so easily but eventually got to understand each other, bond, and even became a couple. They came to reality soon enough where they stand today.
"There isn't anymore..." he said with a pout throwing the case away. "Say! Before I go fishing with Yuto, lets have a quick duel." He got up from the bench they were on.
"The score is...let me think...60-51. You got some deck fixing to do but I suppose I can spare you one more duel." she stood up as well looking at her friend with determination. She slid into her duel disk and gave a off a look urging for a challenge. "Show me what you got!"
"At least I can't bored by that!" Yuou shouted activating his dish. "Let's do it."
"Duel!" they both shouted.
"I'll start off this one off with my favorite." Yuou said as he played his first card "I summon my big sister, Aromage Rosemary (LV.4 ATK:1800 DEF:700 Water/Plant)" A woman with a blue dress and staff appeared with rosemary plants around her. "I'm going to place two cards face down and end my turn."
"Maybe I gave you another chance, but I'm sure as hell not going to pull back any punches! Draw!" Rio said as she drew a card from her deck. "I summon Blizzard Falcon (LV.4 ATK:1500 DEF:1500 Water/Winged Beast) in attack mode." A blue bird with crystal-like wings and tail feathers came to the field.
"And then I activate the Spell Card Blustering Winds which increases my falcon's ATK by 1000 til the next End Phase." The falcon now had a strong green aura around it. "When my falcon has its attack boosted it can blow away 1500 of your LP, go Icicle Barrage!"
Yuou: 2500
Icicles and combined with a gust of wind blew Yuou away from his feet. " I did say I wasn't going to laying back so now Blizzard Falcon attack his Aromage Rosemary. Hail Strike!" Blizzard Falcon swooped down and shot down icicles at Yuou.
"I activate the trap card Magic Cylinder! It negates your attack and you take Blizzard Falcon attack points as damage instead." Yuou countered and activating his trap. The icicles were reflected back and broke into shards flying toward Rio.
Rio: 1500
"You are not taking me out that easily. I activate Guard Penguin's ( LV.4 ATK: 0 DEF:1200 Water/Winged Beast) effect from my hand. If I take damage from a card effect, I can Special Summon it in defense mode and gain LP to the damage I took and end my turn placing one card face down." Rio said taking a card from her hand and placing it on the field. A blue penguin with a gold and silver neck piece appeared and took the blunt force of the shards nullifying the damage.
Rio: 4000
"You're not going to Xyz Summon this turn?" Yuou asked.
"I won't always rely on them to finish you off, I already took out 1500 of your life points." Rio responded.
"I draw!" Yuou drew and smirked on what he drew. "I'm going to to finish this duel now in a single turn!"
"Pretty big talk coming from you." Rio mumbled.
I activate the Field Spell Aroma Garden! And I summon Aromage Jasmine ( LV.2 ATK:100 DEF: 2000 Plant/Light) along with it." A garden filled with flowers of different colors along with a small cottage-like building emerged around the duel area and a small white haired girl with corresponding flowers around her came to the field.
"I activate Garden's effect, if I control a "Aroma" monster all my monsters get a 500 attack and defense buff and I gain back 500 more LP." Yuou said as petals of different kinds of flowers flew around Yuou's monsters and an aura surrounded them.
Yuou: 2000
"Now I activate both of their effects!" Yuou declared. Rio knew all about what his deck was capable of. She didn't really think it's a good idea of a deck revolving gaining Life Points if a experienced player could knock them down faster than they come back, but Yuou was her boyfriend and the one she hangs out with the most so she understands the sentimental value of his cards.
"Both my Rosemary's and Jasmine's effects activate, Rosemary can change on monster's battle position, I'll choose your penguin and Jasmine allows me to draw a card. Go Spurt Reverse and Flower Channeling!" Yuou shouted. Rosemary used her staff to force Guard Penguin to attack mode focuses her thoughts to make the top card in Yuou's deck glow. Aromage Jasmine (ATK:600) Aromage Rosemary (ATK:2300)
"Yes! I drew Mystical Space Typhoon, now I can destroy that face down by discarding a card from my hand." He said as a strong tornado destroyed Rio's face down causing her to furrow her brow a bit. "It was Torriential Tribute? Damn, good I got rid of it."
"I activate the Equip Spell Flower Power and equip it Aromage Rosemary, I can only equip this to a Plant monster but now that I did my monster gains 1000 extra attack. That's not all when I destroy a monster with her, Aromage Rosemary can attack again but she's destroyed at the next End Phase." Aromage Rosemary's body now had a green aura surrounding her. Aromage Rosemary (ATK:3300)
"Aromage Rosemary attack Guard Penguin. Allure Upholding!" he yelled as Aromage Rosemary used her enhanced staff to blast at Rio's penguin.
"Naive, I'm blocking it. I activate the other Trap Card I layed down. White Howling! If I control a Water monster, I can banish one Spell Card in your Graveyard and negate the ones you have on the field." Rosemary's blast was weakened but still hit Guard Penguin square on.
"But you'll still take the full force of Rosemary's attack which leaves you with 2200!" Yuou said. He was so sure he could take down Rio on that turn but did take a major chunk of her life points during that turn. He was very competitive and was quick to end a duel in Rio's experience and relationship with him. Rio smiled as she felt knock back from the attack going back a foot.
Rio: 2200
"That was not that bad, you shoul-" Rio was interrupted by a huge explosion that surprised them both.
"What the hell was that?!" Yuou shouted. The both of them looked at where the explosion came from and gasped at what they saw. There was a huge and intimidating machine of a monster towering over what it destroyed which was a part of a apartment. It had a laser cannon and looked like it was made out of multiple rusted gears grinding against one another.
Yuou and Rio were scared out of their minds at the sight of the colossal machine and turned off their duel disks. People were screaming and running away from it. Their monsters vanished and they just ran. Before they did vanish, Rosemary and Jasmine looked with much concern at the situation. They didn't know where they were running, they just wanted to get away. Everything around them was a blur.
They saw many more of its brethren around the whole city. Explosions left and right, crying and screams filled the air. Civilians were suddenly dissipated and disappeared. Yuou thought he saw portals and platoons of duelists in uniform who had their duel disks ready coming out of portals.
Eventually they ran out of breath and were near a cafe outside of the was a mob of people running to the freeways and anywhere they deem safe. It seems that the foreign invaders still haven't reached the exits of Heartland yet.
"What's happening to the city!?" Rio asked crying at the destruction of the city. They were in a alley near a cafe as she talked. She is crushed to see her home and city being destroyed a few months of coming back into reality. "This cannot be happening!"
"I don't know but I think we should head for the exits of the city too too, maybe we can find Shark, Yuto, and Shun." Yuou recommended. He was worried about his new friends and he just wanted to protect Rio and keep her under his wing. Yuou cared about Rio more than himself or anybody else.
"Hey, I think I see two more of them down here!" Rio and Yuou turn around to see three figures walking towards them. When they got closer to the duo they what they looked like. They wore blue uniforms and had masks over their face with a different colored gem. This was the arrival of the warriors of Fusion called the Obelisk Force.
"I think these two are going to be fun for us to card, but I want to card that one, he's got a stupid hair style like a idiot." An Obelisk Force member with a green jem told his comrades pointing at Yuou before he got pissed.
"Hey! 1st, what do you mean to "card"? Does that mean you are going to turn me into a monster card. 2nd of all, I don't control my hair color, so deal with it! Damn, I know it kind of sucks." Yuou said defensively. It's true his hair looked very much different from everyone else who had one shade of hair or two shades of a similar color.
"Yuou! That's not what important right now." Rio snapped. "What do you freaks want from us?" The Obelisk Force trio laughed evilly in response. They only activated their duel disks with glee in their faces.
"We want you! You can surrender now I will can make your demise painless or you can resist and be shackled in pain while we turn you to a card!" An Obelisk Force member with a red gem said.
"None of you will get to take us alive! I will defeat all of you in a duel. Right now! Right here!" Yuou exclaimed as Rio nodded to him as they both activated their disk.
"Lets duel!" Yuou said.
"I don't think a two vs. three is a good idea, but it's better than fighting solo." Yuou said. "I'm going first! First I summon Lonefire Blossom (LV.3 ATK:500 DEF:1200 Plant/Fire), then I can tribute it to bring a mad and heated flower sis. Take the charge, Aromage Bergamot (LV.6 ATK:2400 DEF:1800 Plant/Fire)!" The red blossom was traded for a woman with red hair and staff and had red flowers around her. She eyed the Obelisk Force with judging eyes giving them a kind of a murderous vibe.
"I place two cards face down and end my turn." Yuou ended. " Do we all agree we can't attack each other until the last one goes?"
"I got no objections to that." Rio said agreeing.
"It may mean that we have to wait to turn you into cards but it will fun to see you beg for mercy after we beat you." The final Obelisk Force member with a yellow gem said evilly.
"It's time to put you weaklings in your place, I draw!" Obelisk Force Green said. "I summon Ancient Gear Hunting Hound (LV:3 ATK: 1000 DEF: 1000 Machine/Earth) in attack mode. A four-legged machine made out of gears that looks like a dog appeared. "When Hunting Hound is summoned, he can slam one of you with 600 points of damage. I think I'm going to pick Bumblebee Boy!" Ancient Gear Hunting Hound charged at Yuou making him fall on his knees.
Yuou: 3400
"Ancient Gear Hunting Hound can allow me to do a Fusion Summon with it and monsters in my hand without Polymerization!" Obelisk Green said. " I fuse Ancient Gear Hunting Hound with my Ancient Gear Box in my hand! Hound with furious velocity and metal fangs and metal box with tools of destruction. Come together! Fusion Summon! Ancient Gear Howitzer (LV.6 ATK: 1000 DEF: 1800 Machine/Earth)! Crush down who oppose you with overwhelming force!" A big machine appeared with what seems like a cannon for a head and cannons at it's sides.
Yuou and Rio were shocked at the Fusion Summon. Both knew about Fusion since when Rio was unconscious she and Yuou experienced all the different kind of summoning methods including Fusion.
"So you are the people who are destroying Heartland!?" Rio shouted as a red aura surrounded her body. The monsters looked very familiar to the ones that are terrorizing the city. She was pissed. A gigantic army of duelists and their monsters from another dimension just came to destroy the beautiful city and turn people to cards was more than enough to piss anyone from Heartland."I'm going to punish you all to the ground until you go crying back to your mothers."
"I like to believe a card you have would stand chance to one of our Fusions."Obelisk Yellow said with a smirk. He looked at Obelisk Green. "We need to finish this quick take out the boy first. Then we can deal with the girl." Obelisk Green nodded. " I activate Ancient Gear Howitzer's effect! It can deal 1000 points of hurt to one of you. Guess your not out of the water just yet, Bee Boy." Ancient Gear Howitzer locked on at Yuou and fired. He was about to be hit before Bergamot stood in the way guarding him but not completely.
"Yuou! Are you hurt badly?" Rio asked in concern. Yuou just looked at Bergamot with a smile and gave a thumbs up.
Yuou: 2400
"I'm okay. Bergamot saved me!"
"You monsters! You are killing civilians and destroyed my city. You hurt my friend and now you're going to pay for what you done." Rio's anger intensified as her aura started to flare up causing the debris around her to shake.
"What are you going to do about it bitch!? Me and my comrades will finish you and your boyfriend off soon enough before you can do something serious. I place one card face down and end my turn." Obelisk Green set one card and end his turn.
"I draw! I activate the Spell Card Moray of Greed. I can shuffle two Water monsters from my hand, so I can draw 3 new cards." Rio said as she shuffled her cards. "I summon Damage Maiden (LV. 2 ATK:500 DEF: 1000 Spellcaster/Dark)!" A black robed young girl appeared next to Bergamot wielding a gold staff looking determined. "Each time I or Yuou would take damage, once per turn, we would gain the same amount. Oh, and Damage Maiden gains 2000 more attack points."
"Why you little tramp?! You're going to be broken like the other people who we turned to cards. We are going to tear both of you apart." Obelisk Yellow said.
"I place three cards down and end my turn. Now try me!"
"I'm gonna break you slowly. I draw! I summon Ancient Gear Hunting Hound and tearing off 600 of your LP girl." Obelisk Yellow said. The hound charged at Rio and threw her to the ground.
Rio: 3400
"Why didn't you use Damage Maiden's effect?" Yuou asked confused.
"I'm saving it for you. Besides I activate Guard Penguin's ability!" Rio said getting back up and having the blue penguin come to her side. "I can Special Summon it and gain back the Life Points I lost!"
Rio: 4000
"It's still my turn! I fuse my hunting hound with the other one in my hand to bring a new and powerful beast of destruction. Hounds of furious velocity and metal fangs come together to bring a new instrument of your defeat! Fusion Summon! Two-headed beast of sheer ferocity and fear, come forth Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound (LV.5 ATK: 1400 DEF:1000 Machine/Earth)! A two-headed metal hound appeared looking identical but only with two heads instead of one.
"Then I activate the spell card Ancient Gear Drill which allows me to send discard one card so I can set a Spell Card from my deck directly to my field. I place two cards face down and end my turn." Obelisk Yellow said.
"1400 ATK? That is pretty weak, I wonder what it could do? Probably just bark at me." Yuou thought. "I still can't believe they wanted to destroy Heartland just because they wanted to. I mean they didn't even tell us why they were here."
"I draw, I summon Ancient Gear Hunting Hound. When it's summone-" Obelisk Red was interrupted when Yuou shouted.
"Yeah we know the rest! So which one of us will it be? Why do you all have the same cards are you bunch of robots who can't think or have special qualities? Anyway's just go."
"Shut it! You really want to thrown down to the ground be me don't you? Yuou, that's your name right? Prepare yourself to get pounded by my hound!" Obelisk Red said. The hound barked at Yuou but Damage Maiden intercepted the damage for him with her gold staff.
"I activate Maiden's effect! She negates the damage and increases Yuou's Life Points by 600 instead! And she gains 2000 attack points to boot with!" Damage Maiden grew to a teenage version of herself with dark wings and a larger black robe. (Damage Maiden ATK:2500)
"Seems like one of us was all bite and no bark." Obelisk Yellow replied. "You are not worthy of using dog puns!"
"I didn't mean for it to come out that way." Obelisk Red looked embarrassed and just looked the other way of the duel.
"Sure you didn't." Yuou muttered.
"What did you say you piece of scum?" Obelisk Red asked harshly.
"It's still your turn."
"Oh, I activate Ancient Gear Hunting Hound's effect. I fuse my Hound with my other one in my hand together." Obelisk Red said. "Hounds of furious velocity and metal fangs come together to bring a new instrument of your defeat! Fusion Summon! Two-headed beast of sheer ferocity and fear, come forth Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound (LV.5 ATK:1400 DEF:1000 Machine/Earth)." The same hound that Yellow summoned was on his side of the field.
"I place two cards face down and end my turn." Obelisk Red concluded. Now that everyone had a turn, Yuou can mop the floor clean with them.
"I draw! I activate the Spell Card Raigeki. All of your monsters are destroyed." Yuou exclaimed as a strike of lightning came from the sky and destroyed the two hounds but unable to destroy the howitzer.
"Why wasn't your Ancient Gear Howitzer destroyed?" Rio asked.
"My Ancient Gear Howitzer is unaffected by all other card effects." Obelisk Yellow said. "Proves that we got better cards than you!"
"No, it shows that you guys got easy ways to a win." Yuou claimed.
"It wouldn't matter to you anyways. I activate the trap card Ancient Gear Reborn! I can special summon an "Ancient Gear" monster from my graveyard if I do not control any monsters with 200 more attack points more. Before I do I activate another trap, Ancient Gear Reinstitution." Obelisk Green said with Yellow and him activating Ancient Gear Reborn.
"I activate Twin Twisters! By dissing my Rose Lover to the graveyard, I'm able to destroy two Spell or Traps on the field. I'm destroying both of your Reborns." Yuou said as he activated one of his face down cards. Two twisters whirled their way to destroy their traps and then vanished.
"You fool! Our trap cards work even if you do send them to the graveyard. Come back Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hounds." Obelisk Green said. The hounds came back and with 1600 attack points. "Now Ancient Gear Reinstitution activates, since we Special Summoned Ancient Gear monsters from the graveyard, we can place 2 "Gearwork" counters on it."
"I can still deal major damage to you all. I can banish Rose Lover from my Graveyard so I can Special Summon a Plant monster from my hand." A blonde woman wearing a red dress appeared and planted a rose on the ground then vanished. "I summon another Aromage Bergamot in attack mode."
"I activate the trap Bottomless Trap Hole so I can banish your monster." Obelisk Yellow said activating his trap card. A pale greenish monster came from the ground and reached for Yuou's monster but failed going back into the hole.
"No dice, Rose Lover makes my Aromage Bergamot immune against traps the turn it was summoned." The greenish monster tried to grab Aromage Bergamot but failed and sank back to the ground it came from.
"But it's not protected by my Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound's effect. I can place one "Gear" counter on it!" Obelisk Red said. As he said that, two gears appeared on Bergamot 1's wrists.
"What are they going to do? Bore us to death with more puns?" Yuou recommended and ignoring what the "Gear" counter is, getting a punch from Rio about not focusing.
"Ow! Sorry, I uh, activate the spell card Aroma Synapse! One of my Aromage Bergamot's attack points drops to 0 until the end phase and for every 1000 points deduced the other can have 1 more attack. That's not all! I gain Life Points equal to the level of the monster who lost their attack points times 200. Since Aroma Bergamot is a level 6, I gain 1200 Life Points!" Yuou exclaimed. He just might at least take down one Obelisk Force member this turn. (Aromage Bergamot 1 ATK: 2400) (Aromage Bergamot 2 ATK: 0)
Yuou: 3600
"Both my Aromage Bergamot's effect activates because I gained life points, they gain 1000 attack points each. Heated Blooming!" Both Aromage's now had red auras and had red eyes looking at the Ancient Gear monsters menacingly. (Aromage Bergamot 1 ATK: 3400) (Aromage Bergamot 2 ATK: 1000)
"I'm not stopping just yet, I'm activating the equip spell Flower Power and equip it to Aromage Bergamot 1. This gives her 1000 attack points and the ability to attack again after destroying a monster for the cost being sent to the Graveyard on the next end phase." Yuou said. "What?!" yelled all of Obelisk Force, not only this boy was able to bring his monster's attack to inflict critical damage to all of them but it was capable to defeat them in a row like bowling pins. (Aromage Bergamot 1 ATK: 4400)
"Aromage Bergamot 1 attack Reddy's Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound! Fiery Fist!" Yuou said. Aromage Bergamot charged at Obelisk Red's monster with flames around her closing the distance between them.
"You fool! My Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound effect activates! When a monster with a "Gear''counter battles with it that monster is destroyed in the start of the damage step!" Obelisk Red smiled seeing that the effort to defeat them all in one single turn was wasted.
"Rio…..you got a card for this?" Yuou asked.
Rio nodded and activated a trap card she placed down." I activate the trap, Impenetrable Attack. During the battle Phase I can choose to not take any battle damage or target one monster on the field and prevent from being destroyed by battle and card effects. I'm targeting Aromage Bergamot 1 so it won't be destroyed by your Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound's effect."
Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound howled at Aromage Bergamot but did not stop the woman from tearing it apart. The impact left Obelisk Red on his knees with 2900 less LP. "Crap! We can't let Bee Boy bring us down without a fight."
Obelisk Red: 1100
"She can still attack you directly and your friend's monsters as well so I will keep on rolling!" Yuou said with the passion and power only a good person would sound like. "Bergamot 1 attack him directly and move on Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound 2." Aromage Bergamot punched Obelisk Red into a dumpster ten feet away rendering him unconscious.
Obelisk Red: 0
"Oh my god! I didn't mean too!" Yuou said, rushing to the dumpster and being blocked by the two remaining members of Obelisk Force.
"You think you are hot stuffby taking one of us out!?" Obelisk Yellow yelled. "He'll get his punishment later, you should really worry about yourselves if you want to survive!" Needless to say this surprised Rio and Yuou very much. Comrades were supposed to be help and support one another not turn away and leave them to die.
"Aren't you going to check if he's okay or do something to help him?" Yuou asked with distrust and astonishment of seeing people leaving their comrades after they lost for the second time in his life. "No, he will be sent back to Academia knowing he failed to beat a Xyz Duelist." Obelisk Green said.
"But he's your own friend! Why would you leave him?" Rio stuttered as she was shaken at the thought of her being abandoned by her friends after making a mistake or failing them. "None of your business, so I suggest you go back or things will go badly for you." Obelisk Yellow threatened.
"Okay…." Yuou slowly backed away with anger in his face and resumed the duel. "My Aromage Bergamot will now attack your other Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound! Fiery Fist!" Yuou commanded.
"I'm ready for you, you little shrimp! I activate Storming Mirror Force! This card returns all Attack mode monsters you control back to the hand." Obelisk Yellow said.
"No!" Rio said. If they lost all their monsters they would certainly lose the duel next turn for being wide open. Or maybe not...
Yuou looked at Rio and said "That won't happen, I activate Rose Archer's (LV.3 ATK:1000 DEF:100 Warrior/Earth) effect from my hand. It can negate a trap card's effect as long as I control a Plant monster." A woman archer with a bow made of a rose's stem appeared and shot 3 golden arrows at Obelisk Yellow's trap and destroyed it. The attack continued between Aromage Bergamot and Double Ancient Gear Hunting Hound. The same thing happened with the first but this time Obelisk Yellow stayed with his two feet standing losing a huge chunk of his life points.
Obelisk Yellow: 1100
"Now Aromage Bergamot 1 attack him directly with Fiery Fist! But be a little more gentler this time." Yuou pleaded. Aromage Bergamot charged up with with fire once more and punched Obelisk Yellow knocking him down to the pavement with mediocre force. He was out cold but way more peacefully than Obelisk Red.
Obelisk Yellow: 0
"I end my turn with that!" Yuou concluded. After the duel, he should probably tie them up or interrogate them. Makes sense because of everything around them. (Aromage Bergamot 2 ATK: 3400)
"This isn't looking good. Better call for some back up." Obelisk Green knew he was going to lose the duel but still can buy some time before reinforcements can come to card these fools. He pressed a button on his duel disk to emit a discreet signal to nearby Academia members.
"I draw! I summon Snow Pelican (LV:4 ATK:400 DEF:500 Winged Beast/Water) in attack mode." A green pelican with a blue beak appeared alongside Guard Penguin and Blizzard Pegasus. " I overlay my level 4 Snow Pelican and Guard Penguin to summon a vigliante with a frozen heart. Xyz Summon! Cut up all corrupted and evil beings with your twin blades of ice. Spread your wings, Ice Lancer Zerohymn (Rank:4 ATK:2200 DEF:1900 Winged Beast/Water)!" Rio said. A winged fairy with green wings appeared with two overlay units. It had a blue lance in each hand.
"When Snow Pelican used for a Xyz summon my monster gains the ability to do piercing damage when it attacks a defense position monster." Rio said. "I activate Ice Lancer Zerohymn's effect! I use a Xyz material so Zerohymn can attack twice this turn and when it destroys a monster I can draw one card." One of Ice Lancer Zerohymn's overlay units went to her lances and vanished.
"Ice Lancer Zerohymn attack Ancient Gear Howitzer with Frost Strike-Duoguno!" Rio said declaring her attack. Ancient Gear Howitzer shot a barrage of explosives at the fairy that as high in the sky. She shot both lances at the head of it and caused explosions sending shrapnel and smoke everywhere. Rio drew a card from her deck after destroying Ancient Gear Howitzer.
Obelisk Green: 3600
"Now attack him directly Ice Lancer Zeroh-!" Rio declared before she was interrupted by Obelisk Green.
"No! You won't you still have not gotten rid of my new monster." He grinned knowing in a few minutes that reinforcements would come. She saw obscured by the smoke a tall machine staring at her with a huge red eye. "Since you destroyed my Ancient Gear Howitzer its other effect activates. I can special summon a "Ancient Gear" monster ignoring it's summoning conditions. So I summoned Ancient Gear Golem (LV.8 ATK:3000 DEF:3000 Machine/Earth)!" The smoke cleared revealing large rusted machine made out of gears of different sizes that takes the shape of a robot.
"I place one card face down and end my turn." Rio huffed still staring at the golem in disbelief. Was this one of the monsters who destroyed her home? What are the capable of? It made her more frustrated than she was before!
"I draw! I summon Ancient Gear Wyvern (LV.4 ATK:1700 DEF:1200 Machine/Earth) and activate its effect. I can add one "Ancient Gear" card to my hand, so I add Ancient Gear Explosive to my hand." Obelisk Green said. He probably can take out Yuou in a single turn and hopefully the girl afterwards next turn.
Yuou saw the expression on his face and said "What's the point of all this? Why are you all doing this? You got atleast answer that." He had a grim expression on his face. Obelisk Green just only looked at Yuou with a crooked grin on his face.
"What are you talking about? They are obviously here to exterminate all of us! I have no doubt about that!" Rio exclaimed.
Yuou ignored Rio and then said "I'm sorry about your friends. Surrender now, and we can hash things out." He bowed as he said this shocking Obelisk Green.
"What is he thinking..." Rio thought confused about his conviction.
Obelisk Green responded back. "Are you pitying me? I'll show you who to pity after this! First I equip Ancient Gear Golem with Ancient Gear Mask!" The giant rusted golem now had a reddish metal mask over on its eyes.
After that I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Shrink! This halves one monster's attack points so I choose Aromage Bergamot 2." A green glow enveloped Bergamot's body making her look smaller. (Aromage Bergamot 2 ATK:1900)
"Ancient Gear Golem attack Aromage Bergamot 2! Now any battle damage you take will be doubled! Mechanized Melee!" Aromage Bergamot flew in the air and attempted to catch Ancient Gear Golem's punch with her own and failed being destroyed.
"Yuou!" Rio yelled after seeing her friend being trashed and sliding on the floor.
Yuou: 0
"Your friend is a real piece of work. I will enjoy carding him." Obelisk Green evily joked.
"I'm sorry Yuou. But I'm going to knock some sense into this imbecile." Rio muttered to herself as her eyes grew red. "I activate the trap card Aqua Leveling! This allows me to summon one Water monster from the graveyard. I special summon the Guard Penguin that I sent to the graveyard as a material! Then I take damage equal to my monster's attack points. Since Guard Penguin has no attack points I take no damage." The blue penguin with the shiny frill came back from the grave. "Then I can destroy one monster on our side of the field or banish one in the graveyard and inflict it's attack points as damage!"
"While my friend think you have a sliver of redemption, I think you need to disappear permanently!" Rio said deviously. "I target Aromage Bergamot and destroy her. You take 4300 points of damage!" A huge tidal wave came from the trap card colliding with Obelisk Green's monsters and striking Obelisk Green with such force when he felt the impact it broke his arm.
"Ow! It hurts so much! It isn't suppose to bend that way!" he moaned out in pain at his new predicament.
Obelisk Green: 0
"Yuou are you okay!?" Rio asked rushing towards where Yuou is.
"Yeah I'm okay." Yuou replied getting up slowly. "Come on, we've got to go."
"But first..." Rio said turning her attention to the only awake Obelisk Force soldier. She walked up to him with a monotone look standing right to his face.
"I'm not going to tell you anything!" Obelisk Green shouted at her cradling his broken arm.
"Tell me, how many cards can I fit in your ass until you give out consciousness?" Rio whispered right next the man's ear with a gleeful smile causing him to gulp. "Or maybe I'll just jam the whole duel disk in, activated..."
"I'll talk! Just don't shove anything up my ass!" Rio then grabbed his head before making him look up.
"Where do you come from exactly?"
"I come from the Fusion Dimension, from Duel Academy..." His voice trailed off as Rio's grip grew tighter.
"And why the hell did you destroy the city!?"
"Because we need it!" She almost was about to knock him out.
"For what!?"
"Rio, snap out of it." Yuou told her causing her to turn back. His look was solemn as he looked up to the sky seeing skyscrapers burn and screams of all kinds can be heard. "That isn't you. We need to find to find our friends before its too late."
Rio's look was forlorn as she loosened her grip causing the Obelisk member to fall onto the ground.
"What came over me..." she held her forehead in confusion.
"I'm sorry for losing the duel, I should've been more car-" Yuou stopped when Rio bonked him over the head.
"That's what you get for playing a inconsistent deck." Rio said before looking back at the remaining member. "Consider this an act of mercy. I don't want to see you ever again." After she said this, Obelisk Green ran away from his comrades.
"We should at least leave them sleeping. By the looks of it, they might come here to pick them up."
After that, they crouched behind a apartment building when they heard footsteps coming towards them. The reinforcements failed to save their comrades but found them in a dumpster after tracking their signal. They transported them to Academia and left after looking for anyone else in the area but were unable to find them. The two headed home to grab a emergency backpack they kept in case of a fire or a earthquake. Seems like this will have to do.
"It isn't like Ryouga to not call me in an emergency or something like this. Something must have happened to him." Rio worried.
"If his D-disk won't work then he must be in trouble. Hopefully we can find him before it's too late." Yuou said as they were jogging to the center of town to find Rio's brother.
"Ryouga! Ryouga! Brother! Where are you?!" Rio shouted looking for him near the commercial strip of Heartland.
"Submersible Carrier Aero Shark attack his Ancient Gear Hunting Hound and finish this! Shark Torpedo! A familiar voice shouted from two blocks away.
"It's Ryouga! He's dueling more of those fusion soldiers!" Yuou said following the voice with Rio falling in behind. Eventually they both reached Shark's location and saw him dueling some more Obelisk Force. The one that he is fighting now had a purple jem on his helmet. He won the duel and but took some damage at the end causing a metal plate to fall on him.
"Ryouga!" Rio shouted as she ran to her brother. He was wearing his casual purple jacket and black shirt when they got closer. The strength both of Yuou and Rio they lifted up the metal plate pinning Shark down enough for Shark to crawl out.
"Thanks sis." Shark said as stood up.
"What are we going to do with them?"
"I should put you in a dumpster for even saying that. They should be interrogated and punished for what they did to Heartland." Shark said as he grabbed Obelisk Purple by his shirt and hoisted him in the air.
"Who are you guys and what dimension do you come from?" Shark asked him.
"Screw you! Me and my comrades will get your soul soon enough." Obelisk Purple just smirked and spat at Shark. Then used his duel disk to teleport back to Academia not before Shark punched him in the face did he actually disappear. The other Obelisk Force members also retreated back to Academia as well.
"Cowards! Run back to your rabbit hole! I'm going to feast on your flesh when I find you." Shark shouted before wiping the spit off his face.
"It's going to get dark soon. we should find a shelter or room we can stay at safely." Rio said.
"Hmph! We can't stay at home anymore. It won't be safe anymore." Shark replied. "The best place we can go is the high school."
"Wait, why?" Yuou asked.
"I doubt they will be looking inside at the moment. They are targeting the civilians, not just duelists. I don't know how they do it, but when they grab someone, they use something on their duel disk to turn them into a card. The safest bet is to be where they won't be expecting."
"He's got a strong point. We should head there and see who else we might find." And so the trio traveled through the destroyed ground to the way to school.
"Hey Shark, how many of them did you face?" Yuou asked him.
Shark before responding looked at Rio. "I didn't want Rio to know I was dueling eight of those punks and worrying her to death."
"Eight!?" Yuou said before Shark hit him in his head. "Not so loud, idiot!"
Rio was ahead of them scouting for any survivors when he heard them talking. She turned her back to see what was going on. "What are you guys talking about? Were almost to the-Yuou look out!"
Yuou saw behind him to see a group of Obelisk Force with tasers stab him and Shark with their prods. They were instantly paralyzed being knocked to the ground with extreme pain.
"No, stay away you bastards..." Shark moaned out as he tried to stand up but failed.
"Rio, don't fight them. Theres just too many of them." Yuou croaked as Obelisk Force set their disks ready to duel surrounding Rio with a circle of Ancient Gear Hunting Hounds. There was two more members behind them getting ready to card Shark and Yuou. Is it already the end.
I'm overhauling this project on the terms of I think it sucks and I can improve on it. There is much cringiness to be cleaned from this fanfiction so allow me to correct my mistakes. Anyways, if you are new, good. Because I will fix the things you might think are wrong or just bad to read. So this is what I'm going to do. In later chapters, I will post a list of cards that the characters won't use (just the cards I created, I believe) and will be forgotten. The story will be told in two parts, the first with the Arc-V plot and the Rio and Yuou realm adventure (don't have a stupid name). Also monsters will not be cardboard characters, but you'll see. Anyways, enjoy the new changes for the first chapters.
