Chapter 01: Journey to the Standard Dimension
Among the ruins of Heartland City, a boy, no older than 16, wandered about. He had turquoise eyes, and black hair that was tied back into a ponytail, while his face was being framed by center-parted bangs. He wears a black leather jacket, which is zipped up and belted shut, over a long-sleeved white dress shirt with a black tie, as well as black gloves, dark jeans, and black combat boots. He also wore some bandages over his right eye, and had a red scarf tied around his upper left arm as well as a, purple body, Duel Disk attached to his left wrist.
He was walking around, the once peaceful city, in hope of finding a young boy named Daisuke. From the information he was given, the young boy should be hiding in one of the old, run-down buildings nearby. However, there were quite a few of them, so it would take him a while to check each and every one of them by himself. Looking around, he tried to see if there were any clues as to where the young boy could be.
By some chance, he found a stuffed bear on the ground near one of the buildings. He went to pick it up, when, suddenly, he started to hear sniffling coming from inside the nearest building, which looked like a cafe of some sort. Picking up the stuffed bear, he decided to go in and investigate the noise. It didn't take him long, considering the size of the cafe, to see that a small boy was curling up in the corner.
"Excuse me." He alerted the young boy to his presence. "Are you Daisuke?"
The young boy turned his head towards the black-haired teen with fear evident in his eyes. "Don't hurt me! Please!"
Noticing that the boy was scared, he tried to calm him down by handing the stuffed bear back. "I'm not going to hurt you." Daisuke took a glance at the toy bear, and then at the older male. Not sure what to do, he crawled over to grab his stuffed bear, so he could have some comfort before something bad happened to him. "See? Everything's okay."
"W-Who are you?" Daisuke asked, clutching the stuffed bear to his chest.
"Hakuryuu Kazuki." The boy answered. "You're mother asked me to come find you." The young boy's eyes lit up at the mention of his mother.
"Really!?"
"Yes." The boy, now known as Kazuki, nodded. "Now, just grab my hand, and I will take you to her, okay?" He held his hand out to the young boy, hoping that he will take it.
"O-okay…" Daisuke, hesitantly, took the older male's hand, and got up onto his feet with the stuffed bear in his left hand. Satisfied with the boy's decision, Kazuki led him outside.
"Hakuryuu Kazuki." Daisuke tightened his hold on Kazuki's hand, as he, himself, narrowed his eyes in disgust. Outside, standing with their white-trimmed blue body Duel Disks attached, were the Obelisk Force. "You are wanted by Academia. Surrender now or else."
"Stay here." Kazuki ordered, as he released his hold of Daisuke's hand. He, then, proceeded to activate his Duel Disk, which happened to have a purple blade. They, too, activated their Duel Disks, revealing a red blade. "Let's get this over with."
"DUEL!"

"I'll start!" Red declared. "I activate the Spell Card, Polymerization, from my hand to fuse the three Antique Gear Hound Dogs in my hand!" Three copies of the same card appeared, in a triangle formation, before turning into a red, yellow, and blue light. Then, they joined together in a spiraling whirlpool of light. "Mechanical hounds who carry on the ancient spirits, flock together and become one with new power! Fusion Summon! Appear now! Level 7! Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog!" A mechanical dog with three heads appeared onto the field.
Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog
[LV: 7 / Earth / Fusion / Effect / ATK: 1800]
"I end my turn." Red finished.
Turn 02: Kazuki
Red: 4000 LP / Hand: 1 / Set: 0
Kazuki: 4000 LP / Hand: 5 / Set: 0
Green: 4000 LP / Hand: 5 / Set: 0
Yellow: 4000 LP / Hand: 5 / Set: 0
"My turn. Draw!" Kazuki drew the top card from his deck. "I Summon Graviton Wing from my hand!" A gray mechanical falcon with electric blue eyes appeared on the field. It had three streams of blue energy flowing through each wing, top and bottom, and into the blue orb that was within it's chest.
Graviton Wing
[LV: 4 / Light / Effect / ATK: 1000]
"Next, I will use the Spell, Graviton Bond!" Kazuki declared. "Now, by targeting Graviton Wing, I am able to Special Summon another copy from my hand." Soon after, another mechanical falcon made an appearance. "But, by doing so, it's effect is negated."
Graviton Wing
[LV: 4 / Light / Effect / DEF: 1000]
"I set one card face down and end my turn."
Turn 03: Green
Red: 4000 LP / Hand: 1 / Set: 0
Kazuki: 4000 LP / Hand: 2 / Set: 1
Green: 4000 LP / Hand: 5 / Set: 0
Yellow: 4000 LP / Hand: 5 / Set: 0
"My turn!" Green called out. "I Summon Antique Gear Hound Dog!" This time, a mechanical dog with one head appeared.
Antique Gear Hound Dog
[LV: 3 / Earth / Effect / ATK: 1000]
"Once per turn, if my opponent controls a monster, Antique Gear Hound Dog can deal 600 points of damage! Hound Flame!" A stream of fire was shot, from the mechanical dog's mouth, directly at Kazuki. He managed to block it using his arms, but he skidded back a few feet in the process.
"Mr. Kazuki!" Daisuke gasped.
[Kazuki: 4000 - 3400 Life Points]
"Then, I'll activate Polymerization to fuse the Antique Gear Hound Dog, that's on the field, with the one that's in my hand!" Unlike before, a single card appeared next to an already summoned monster, before joining together in a spiraling whirlpool. "Fusion Summon! Appear now! Level 5! Antique Gear Double Bite Hound Dog!" A double-headed mechanical dog appeared with it's red eyes gleaming.
Antique Gear Double Bite Hound Dog
[LV: 5 / Earth / Fusion/ Effect / ATK: 1400]
"Battle! Antique Gear Double Bite Hound Dog! Attack his left Graviton Wing!" It launched two streams of fire, soon becoming one, at the mechanical falcon, destroying it.
[Kazuki: 3400 - 3000]
"I end my turn." Green finished.
Turn 04: Yellow
Red: 4000 LP / Hand: 1 / Set: 0
Kazuki: 3000 LP / Hand: 2 / Set: 1
Green: 4000 LP / Hand: 2 / Set: 0
Yellow: 4000 LP / Hand: 5 / Set: 0
"My turn! Draw!" Yellow declared, drawing the next card from his deck. "I Summon Antique Gear Hound Dog!" The single-headed mechanical dog appeared once more.
Antique Gear Hound Dog
[LV: 3 / Earth / Effect / ATK: 1000]
"I activate Antique Gear Hound Dog's effect! Hound Flame!" Again, Kazuki was blasted back by a stream of fire.
[Kazuki: 3000 - 2400 Life Points]
"And now, I will activate the Spell, Polymerization, to fuse the Antique Gear Hound Dog on my field with the other two in my hand!" This time, two cards appeared next to the already summoned monster. The three joined together in a whirlpool of light. "Fusion Summon! Appear now! Level 7! Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog!"
Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog
[LV: 7 / Earth / Fusion / Effect / ATK: 1800]
"Battle! Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog! Attack Graviton Wing!" With that, each of the three heads shot a fireball from it's mouth, which soon became one giant fireball, directly at his lone Graviton Wing, utterly obliterating it. "I end my turn." Yellow finished, before smirking at Kazuki. "You should give up while you still can, Xyz Scum."
"Yeah, we promise not to hurt you too badly." Green chuckled.
"I will never give in to you, Academia." Kazuki told the three.
Turn 05: Red
Red: 4000 LP / Hand: 1 / Set: 0
Kazuki: 2400 LP / Hand: 2 / Set: 1
Green: 4000 LP / Hand: 2 / Set: 0
Yellow: 4000 LP / Hand: 2 / Set: 0
"Then, perhaps you need a little more persuading." Red smirked. "My turn!" He drew the top card from his deck. "Battle Phase! Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog, direct attack!" Unlike last time, the three fireballs didn't become one, instead all three were heading straight for Kazuki and Daisuke. The older male threw himself in front of Daisuke, to protect him from the incoming attack. The cafe that once stood behind the two, was now completely destroyed as was everything else in the area.
[Kazuki: 2400 - 600 Life Points]
"I end my turn."
"Are you okay, Daisuke?" Kazuki asked the brown-haired boy.
"Y-Yes!"
"Good." Suddenly, a familiar voice could be heard through his Duel Disk.
"Kazuki!"
"Yes, Yuto?"
"Are you okay!?"
"I'm fine. Why do you ask?"
"We saw some explosions in your direction!"
"It's nothing to worry about."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Kazuki answered. "I have the kid with me, and once I take care of something, we will be heading back."
"Okay. Well, hurry. Shun just got back with some valuable information that may help us find Ruri's whereabouts."
"Really!?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll try and get there quickly."
"We'll be waiting." With that, the connection dropped.
"Hey, you know, while you were talking with your friend. Perhaps, you could have called for reinforcements." Green smirked.
"Reinforcements?" Kazuki raised an eyebrow. "No. I don't need any help to defeat a few pushovers."
"What was that?"
Turn 06: Kazuki
Red: 4000 LP / Hand: 2 / Set: 0
Kazuki: 600 LP / Hand: 2 / Set: 1
Green: 4000 LP / Hand: 2 / Set: 0
Yellow: 4000 LP / Hand: 2 / Set: 0
"My turn." He placed his right hand on top of his deck. "Draw!" The intensity of the draw was so great that it caused a miniature shockwave to erupt from his person. "I activate my face down card. Gravity Misconception!" The normal Trap flipped face up, revealing it's pinkish color. "If I control no monsters, while my opponent controls at least one Special Summoned monster, I am able to Special Summon as many Graviton monsters from my Graveyard as there are Special Summoned monsters on my opponent's side of the field." Kazuki explained. "But at a cost, the ATK and DEF of all the monsters I Special Summon is reduced to zero. So, I Special Summon the two, previously destroyed, Graviton Wings in defense position!"
x2 Graviton Wing
[LV: 4 / Light / Effect / ATK: 1000]
"Next, I will Normal Summon a third copy from my hand!" The third, and final, copy of the gray mechanical falcon appeared.
Graviton Wing
[LV: 4 / Light / Effect / ATK: 1000]
"Three Level Four monsters…" Green muttered.
"So, are you finally going to use it?" Yellow questioned.
"I Overlay my three Level Four Graviton Wings!" The three monsters became shrouded by a yellow light, just before ascending upward and into a white galaxy-style spiral portal. "The angelic light that shines through the eternal darkness! Rise up from the ashes of the fallen, and exterminate the enemy with your power! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 4! Graviton Seraph!" Appearing from the portal was a blue-eyed angelic-like being in a white exosuit with gold trimmings. It also had a pair of yellow energy-formed wings sprout out from it's back, as well as a celtic-like sword in the right hand.
Graviton Seraph
[RK: 4 / Light / Xyz / Effect / ATK: 2400 / OU: 3]
"An Xyz Monster!" Daisuke exclaimed.
"I activate Antique Gear Double Bite Hound Dog's effect!" Green called out. "When a monster is Normal or Special Summoned to my opponent's side of the field, it gets placed with one Gear Counter!"
"It's not going to make any difference, Fusion."
"Oh? What makes you say that?" Yellow questioned.
"There's nothing you can do to beat us, and you know it." Green smirked.
"Is that so?" Kazuki replied. "Well then, allow me to give you a demonstration of what I can do." He grabbed another card from his hand, and inserted it into the blade of his Duel Disk. "I activate the Spell Card, Graviton Talisman! With this, all card effects, that would affect any Graviton monster I control, are negated for the rest of this turn."
"What!?" Green gasped.
"Then, I activate Graviton Seraph's special ability!" Kazuki declared. "By removing one Overlay Unit, I can choose a monster my opponent controls, and Seraph can copy it's effects until the End Phase! I choose to copy Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog's effect, which allows Seraph to attack three monsters instead of one!"
"You-!" Red gritted his teeth.
"It's not going to be enough to beat us!" Yellow pointed out.
"I'm not done! I equip Graviton Seraph with Gravity Rod!" Kazuki called out. "When a Graviton monster, equipped with this card, destroys a monster my opponent controls, 600 damage is dealt times the level of that monster!"
"That means-!" Green gasped.
"It's over!" Kazuki finished what Green started. "Battle! Graviton Seraph! Shining Slash!" The double-edged sword became enveloped by a golden light, before Seraph held it back, and charged the three mechanical beasts, destroying them with three quick slashes.
[Red: 4000 - 3400 Life Points]
[Green: 4000 - 3000 Life Points]
[Yellow: 4000 - 3400 Life Points]
"Now, Gravity Rod takes effect!" Seraph used the mystical rod in it's left hand, and shot three separate beams at the Obelisk Force, knocking each of them onto the ground, and rendering them unconscious.
[Kazuki: WIN (VS) Obelisk Force: 0 Life Points]
For a moment, Kazuki thought about carding them. But, he didn't want to scare the young boy. So, he just left them be, for now.
"You did it, Mr. Kazuki!"
"I did, but let's get going before more of them show, okay?"
"Okay!" With that, Daisuke grabbed Kazuki's hand, and continued on their way, like nothing happened at all.
Yu-Gi-Oh!
After several minutes of wandering around, the two boys finally arrived at the Resistance's hideout, which was located in one of the ruined buildings that were scattered around Heartland, equipped with tents and makeshift wells.
As Kazuki walked through their hideout, with Daisuke following close behind, he saw some members of the Resistance either talking with one another, or helping those in need.
"Hey, Kazuki." They were soon greeted by a friend of Kazuki. He was a short boy with red spiky hair and bushy eyebrows. His eyes are teal and the front of his bangs are lined with yellow. He wears a maroon long-sleeved shirt, gray pants, and yellow boots with white tongues and gray soles under a purple poncho that is emblazoned with a blue shield shape and green diamonds.
"Allen." Kazuki nodded his head in acknowledgement.
"Is this Daisuke?" He asked, pointing at the youngest boy among them.
"Yes." Kazuki said. "Daisuke, this is Kozuki Allen."
"Nice to meet you!" Allen smiled.
"N-Nice to meet you too, mister…"
"Mister? Come on, Daisuke, you can call me Allen!"
"Um… Okay, mist-I mean Allen."
"There you go!"
"Allen. Why are you here?" Kazuki asked. "I thought it was your turn to hand out rations to people."
"It is, but Kaito wanted me to wait here for you, so Sayaka took over for me."
"That was nice of her."
"Yeah, it was." Allen muttered.
"Are you worried that she might overwork herself?"
"Yeah." He nodded.
"Don't be. I'm sure she can handle something as simple as handing out rations." Kazuki told him.
"I hope you're right."
"I am."
"Okay." Allen smiled. "Anyway, how about we go? The others are waiting for us."
"Right." Kazuki nodded.
Yu-Gi-Oh!
They walked inside one of the tents, that were placed on the far end of the building, and saw that a total of five people were waiting inside.
One of which was a tall young man with straight blueish-black hair that falls to his chin, and light green bangs in the shape of a wing partially tucked under some strands on his left. He has yellow-green eyes, and wore a red scarf around his neck. He wore a blue trenchcoat that was tattered at the ends; the coat is belted shut, and is adorned with belted cuffs. He also sports gray pants and brown shoes.
The second guy that was in there had purple and black hair that swept upward and to the right side of his head. He wore a dull green formal shirt and dark blue tie, as well as a black cape-like garment with ripped sleeves and edges plus dark blue pants and black boot-like shoes. He also wore a choker, black wristbands with silver studs, and goggles. He also sports a mask to conceal his face, a red scarf tied around his upper right arm that is partially hidden by his sleeve.
The third was a young girl, about the same age as Kazuki, with brown eyes, and black hair, which extends down to her mid-back, with a single ponytail on the top left side of her head. She wore a long-sleeved off shoulder cerulean blouse, black short-shorts, and dark blue boots.
The fourth was an older woman, perhaps in her late 20s, with hazel eyes, and brown hair tied up in a ponytail. She wore a sleeveless dark brown shirt, a long gray skirt, and brown shoes.
And the final person that was in there was another woman, who was perhaps in her early 30s, with blue eyes, and long brown hair, which extended past her lower back. She wore a long-sleeved violet shirt, and blue jeans with dark brown boots.
"Ah, there they are!" The woman, in her late 20s, pointed out.
"Hey guys, we've brought-" Allen was cut off by the other woman running up and tightly hugging Daisuke.
"Daisuke! I'm so glad you're safe!"
"Mom… You're crushing me…"
"I'm sorry, darling." She released her hold on Daisuke, and gave a warm smile to Kazuki. "Thank you so much for finding my son."
"No problem."
"Kazuki."
"Yes, Yuto?" Kazuki looked over at the caped boy, who had called his name.
"Come on." Yuto gestured for Kazuki to follow him and the other boy. "We need to go talk about the information Shun obtained."
"Right." Kazuki looked towards the young girl and hazel-eyed woman. "Will the two of you be okay if I happen to leave?"
"Of course, honey." The woman, in her late 20s, told him. "I have Kaito, and everyone else here, to protect me."
"And I'm not as weak as you may think I am!" The brown-eyed girl said, placing her hands on her hips.
"I never said you were weak, Katsumi." Kazuki told her. "I just wanted to know if you'll be fine with me leaving if I do."
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"No reason." Kazuki began to follow Shun, and Yuto out of the tent, with Allen close behind.
"Well, I guess I'll see you guys later." Allen said.
"What? You're not coming with us?"
"Sorry, but I've got to go see how Sayaka's holding up."
"It's fine. We understand." Yuto told him, as Shun and Kazuki nodded.
"Thanks." He ran off into distance, hoping to catch Sayaka before she overworks herself, again.
"Come on, we need to go." Shun told his comrades
Yu-Gi-Oh!
They walked inside another tent, that, unlike the last one, looked like a three dimensional half-circle with a workshop in the center, and began discussing the information that Shun brought back.
"Okay, Shun. What did you find out?" Kazuki asked, crossing his arms.
"The head of Academia, Leo Akaba, apparently has a son, named Reiji, that lives in the Standard Dimension."
"Okay, and how is that suppose to help us find Ruri?"
"Shun believes that capturing the Professor's son would force him to return Ruri to us."
"You really think that will work?"
"It has too." Shun replied. "If not, then I will go to Academia and take her back by force."
"Shun…"
"Will you be coming with us, Kazuki?" Yuto asked.
After a momentary silence, Kazuki answered with a nod. "Of course."
"Okay." A small smile grew onto Yuto's face, before fading away as fast as it appeared. "I've already reconfigured our Duel Disks for interdimensional travel, so we should have no problem going to Standard."
"Good." Shun nodded.
"What's the plan for when we get there?"
"We try and lure out Reiji Akaba."
"But, how will we know what he looks like?"
"You'll know when you see him."
"Activate your Duel Disks, and move to the Dimension Move function." Kazuki and Shun activated their Duel Disks touch screens, and did just as Yuto said and did. "Now, I'm not sure if we'll end up near each other when we arrive, but as long as we stay in contact everything should be fine."
"Got it."
"Then, let's get going." Yuto told them, as he tapped the rectangular button with 'Standard' in the center, which made his body get enveloped by a blue light. Soon after, Shun and Kazuki did the same thing, with the same result.. Then, not a moment later, the blue light faded, as did their vision.
