Ulrich362: Well, the first try might not have been that successful but with any luck this one will be.

bopdog111: This one will contain VRAINS details but not that much like the other did.

Ulrich362: Bopdog's right.

bopdog111: It will start off in a alternate path.

Ulrich362: Enjoy the chapter.


It had been four years ever since Sardon's defeat. In those four years quite a lot had happened, nearly all of it good. Both Dawn, and Haru have eventually confessed to each other, and have been boyfriend, and girlfriend. Of course Ace was super excited to have another big brother, though on this particular day:

"Big sis, are you ready?" Ace asked excitedly.

"Okay Ace okay." Dawn chuckled.

"Can you blame him? We are going to see uncle Yuya and aunt Zuzu get married." White Wing laughed. "Our family is finally all one big family."

"Yes I am excited about this." Double Iris agreed. "And you, and Ace's surprise is nearly done?"

"Yeah, it is." Dawn smiled.

"If you ask me I'm more interested about this surprise." Purple Poison said arrogantly though also cares about the wedding.

"It's a secret." Ace explained before frowning. "Big sis, my picture isn't like yours."

"I'll help ya after this." Dawn smiled.

Ace smiled back.

"Ok you two, is everybody ready?" Ray asked.

"Yes Mommy." Dawn smiled as she picked Ace to where he's on her shoulders, "And Ace is also."

Ray smiled seeing that before they walked downstairs and Zarc smiled. "Getting a ride to the wedding Ace?"

Ace giggled hearing that, "Yes Daddy!"

Zarc laughed. "Well, after you two."

With that Dawn smiled, "Hang on tight Ace." Before she walked out the door with Ace still on her shoulders.

"I love you big sis." Ace smiled.

"Love you two Acey." Dawn smiled.


At the ceremony...

"Oh... hi Dawn." Haru blushed.

"Hi Haru." Dawn smiled.

Dawn linked her arm on Haru's. Haru smiled as she did that. Dawn kissed his cheek. A few minutes later everyone was sitting and waiting for Zuzu. Stacy was beside her brother as she smiled, "How do you feel Yuya?"

"Um... terrified, excited, confused, I don't know." he answered.

Stacy only took his hand with a smile. Yuya smiled back. "Thanks Stacy."

"Your welcome Yuya." Stacy smiled.

Then the wedding march was starting.

'Wow, she's so beautiful.' Yuya thought before smiling.

Once they arrived at the altar Skip step back as the priest smiled seeing them, "Dear friends we gather here to today to witness the holy matrimony between Mr. Yuya Sakaki, and Ms. Zuzu Boyle."

Yuya gently took Zuzu's hand at that. Zuzu smiled at him feeling that.

"If there's any reason these two should not be wed speak now or forever hold your peace." The Priest told them.

Yuya and Zuzu both looked back to see if anyone had any objections only for nobody to look like they wanted to say anything, not even Aura. It was a weird thing but she figured she finally moved on, and decide to find someone else.

"Ms. Zuzu Boyle do you take Yuya Sakaki to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest smiled.

Zuzu turned to Yuya with a smile. "I do."

"And do you Mr. Yuya Sakaki take Zuzu Boyle to be your lawfully wedded wife in sickness, and in health?" The priest asked him.

Yuya turned to Zuzu before closing his eyes and just smiling. "I do."

"Then by the power vested in me I now pronounce you both husband, and wife." The priest smiled. "You may kiss the bride."

Yuya blushed slightly at that before gently hugging Zuzu and giving her a brief but gentle kiss. Zuzu kissed him back as the crowd cheered clapping at this.

"Well, I guess that's it. We're all one big happy family now." Yugo smiled. "Right baby girl?"

"Yes Daddy." Alex smiled as she leaned on Leo.

Leo smiled kissing her cheek. Alex smiled at him, "I'm so lucky to have you Leo. If it wasn't for your Dragons me, Daddy, and Mommy's dream would have never been fulfilled."

Leo blushed slightly hearing that. "I just wanted to help you achieve your dream. Plus you aren't lucky Alex, I am."

Alex chuckled as she hugged him. Lester smiled seeing this, "Luna I'm so glad we made up."

"So am I." Luna smiled warmly.

"And... I didn't expect we take things to the next level." Lester admitted blushing slightly.

Luna blushed too before smiling. "But I'm glad we did."

Lester smiled at this. Jarrod couldn't help but teased, "Then why don't you two get your own wedding?"

Lester turned red. "We're too young and only just recently went out."

"That doesn't stop ya from getting one. I can easily arrange one you know." Jarrod continued.

"Luna, stop him please." Lester requested with a huge blush.

Jarrod only laughed as he said, "You might be your own person now Lester but you still have Aporia's embarrassment spark."

With that he walked off to get some punch.

"I hate him." Lester pouted.

Alex said, "Don't let him get to ya Lester. I like this one better then the one that tried to kill us."

Hearing that Lester immediately looked down.

Luna patted his back.

"Luna... lets stop dating." Lester whispered.

Luna looked shocked hearing that. Leo asked him, "Lester do you love her?"

"Of course! But that doesn't matter when I killed you and nearly killed her." Lester pointed out.

"That's was back then. You saved her against the Obelisk Force sometime back." Leo made his own opinion. "Don't be afraid. It will be alright."

"Even if that's true I hurt you both so much." Lester pointed out.

Luna then kissed him on the lips surprising them. The two of them stared at her in shock. Luna pulled back, and smiled at Lester.

"Luna I... I mean..." Lester started before just looking down shyly.

Luna leaned against him, "Don't worry Lester. Don't be afraid."

He looked at her before closing his eyes and sighing.

Meanwhile the five magicians were talking with Ace and Dawn.

"So, when do we get to see your surprise?" Purple Poison inquired.

"I think it will be in 2 days." Dawn smiled.

"Two more days?" Purple Poison frowned.

"Three." Haru clarified walking up. "It'll take an extra day."

They turned to him.

"We have a date tomorrow remember?" Haru asked her.

"Oh yeah." Dawn giggled.

Haru smiled seeing that.

"I'm so glad we have you in our lives Dawn." Blue Frost smiled. "I don't know what will happen if you didn't exist."

"Daddy and mommy would be sad." Ace answered.

"Well that." Black Fang agreed. "But along with other things."

"Well the important thing is she is part of our lives." Double Iris smiled only to frown. "Are Rin and Lulu doing ok?"

"Now that you mention it where are they?" White Wing asked realizing this.

"Don't you remember?" Black Fang asked. "Alex is going to be a big sister."

(A/N (Ulrich362): Yugo and Rin were the first of their counterparts to get married and have been for close to a year at this point.)

Haru smiled, "Well congrats to them."

Dawn smiled back before kissing Haru's cheek. Haru blushed at this.

Ace frowned, "Grody."

"Grody?" Blue Frost giggled picking him up. "That's not nice."

"He's still a four year old Blue Frost that's natural." Dawn giggled.

"I know, but it just makes him so cute when he acts like that." Blue Frost smiled. "Come on, lets go see mommy and daddy ok?"

Ace nodded at that. She smiled before carrying Ace to his parents. They were talking before they noticed them.

"Hi Ace." Ray smiled taking her son in her arm.

"Hi mommy." Ace smiled before frowning. "Dawn was being grody again."

Ray giggled, "You'll be doing that one day yourself."

"No." Ace insisted before yawning. "Mommy, I'm sleepy."

"Okay honey." Ray smiled hugging him.

Zarc smiled before frowning, "Blue Frost?"

"What is it Zarc?" She asked him.

"I'm... I'm so sorry. I have neglected you ever since we met, and I used White Wing, and the others but not you." Zarc told her.

"I understand and I don't blame you." Blue Frost smiled gently.

Zarc turned to her.

"That's in the past, and things are better now." Blue Frost smiled.

Zarc smiled before saying, "Yuki is lucky to have you as his partner."

"I'm your partner Zarc, and the same goes for the others." Blue Frost said with a gentle smile.

Zarc nodded hearing that.


Later that evening at the Akaba residence...

Dawn was helping out with Ace's picture to make it the same as her's. Of course nobody knows what their up too but they hope it can bring out a new thrill to Dueling.

"Big sis, I..." Ace started before frowning. "I want to make daddy one too."

Dawn turned with a smile, "What do you got in mind?"

Ace blushed before running to his closet and pulling out a picture of a golden dragon with four wings and a white gem on its forehead.

"Wow." Dawn smiled seeing it. "That looks great Ace. What's it called?"

Ace blushed. "I don't wanna say, they're stupid."

"Oh PASHAW! I'm sure it will be awesome." Dawn smiled.

Ace looked nervous before nodding. "Ok big sis, well I like Super Awesome Link Dragon."

"Super Awesome Link Dragon? Not a bad name though I think it needs a bit of work." Dawn told him.

"I knew it was stupid, and the other one is stupid too." Ace frowned.

"What's the other?" Dawn smiled.

"Um... Purified Soul Link Dragon." Ace answered.

Dawn looked at the picture before smiling, "That's perfect."

"That... huh?" Ace asked in shock. "It isn't dumb?"

"No it isn't. It fits." Dawn smiled.

Ace smiled hearing that. "Yay."

Dawn smiled before saying, "Let's make it for Daddy as your gift of thanks for his help welcoming you to the world."

"Ok big sis." Ace smiled only to frown. "But what about mommy?"

"Oh I'm sure we'll think of something." Dawn smiled patting his shoulder.

Ace smiled before the two of them turned back to the picture.


The next day...

Dawn was waiting for Haru.

"Sorry I'm late Dawn." Haru apologized running up. "Were you waiting a long time?"

"Actually I just got out here." Dawn smiled.

"Oh, that's good." Haru smiled. "So, shall we?"

Dawn smiled linking her arm to his. With that the two of them walked off together with smiles on their faces.

"I'm so happy to have met you Haru." Dawn smiled.

"I feel the same way Dawn." Haru smiled back before kissing her cheek. "Ace needs to grow up a little though."

Dawn giggled hearing that. Haru laughed with her. They soon arrived at where they were heading.


Meanwhile...

"Mom, can I ask you something?" Stacy asked.

"Yes?" Yoko asked her.

"I meant Zuzu." Stacy admitted.

Yoko looked surprised at that before nodding.

"Yes Stacy?" Zuzu asked her.

"Um... I just wanted to ask if you and daddy were happy." Stacy admitted.

"Yeah we are." Zuzu smiled.

Stacy smiled hearing that before hugging her. Zuzu looked surprised before smiling hugging her back.

"You can't really be surprised, ever since Sardon Stacy, Terri, and Kelly have all felt the same way, that you and Yuya, Yuto and Lulu, and Yuki and Gale were their parents." Yusho pointed out.

"I'm still a bit getting used to this." Zuzu told him.

"I understand." Yusho smiled.

"I'm sorry, I can just forget it if you want." Stacy offered.

"No no Stacy. I like being called your mom. Because we are daughter, and mother in a way." Zuzu smiled.

Stacy smiled hearing that before suddenly giggling.

"What's so funny?" Zuzu smiled.

"Our family is almost bigger than our decks." Stacy answered before giggling again.

Zuzu laughed at that. Yuya, Yoko, and Yusho all started laughing too.


Meanwhile...

Kelly, and Gale were in the Game Shop helping Yugi, and Solomon out while Yuki was sick in bed. Yuki kept on trying to manage to Game Shop but Yugi, and Solomon kept on lecturing him to stay in bed.

"You need to stay in bed daddy, we can take care of it while you get better." Kelly said while putting a bowl of soup next to his bed.

"I know but-ACHOO!" Yuki sneezed which interrupting him. "Ah man! It's not fair that I got sick. What did I ever do!?"

"It isn't that you did anything wrong dad, the world just said 'Mr. Yuki Muto, you are being so helpful and nice to people you need a day off so you can just rest in bed.' So you got sick so you could do that." Kelly answered.

"I don't think that the world said anything like that." Yuki told her rubbing his forehead.

"I know, but you get a day off." Kelly told him before walking downstairs.

"Is Yuki in bed?" Atem asked who is taking over at the moment.

"Yeah, but he's upset about it." Kelly answered.

"Yeah he is always does stuff like that. He doesn't care what happens all he wants is taking care of everyone." Gale told her. "One time he even had a broken leg but didn't let that bother him."

"That's why your in charge." Kelly smiled.

"Yeah I always keep him in line in case he does anything stupid." Gale said rolling her eyes but chuckled at the memories.

They all started laughing remembering that. Gale even grinned, "You know I'm starting to miss using my rolling pin at him."

"I bet he doesn't miss it." Atem chuckled.

"Indeed." Solomon chuckled.


Meanwhile...

Rin was laying in her bed frowning. "This sucks."

"Rin?" Yugo asked.

"I know its been seven months, but I should be allowed to ride and do more than lie in bed." Rin complained. "I miss riding with you and Alex."

Yugo pointed out, "I know but Akiza told us it would leave bad effects to him or her."

"I know, and I can at least watch you two have fun but since Alex and Leo are spending the day together and Yusei's upgrading your Runner I'm stuck in bed." Rin said before pouting only to frown. "Yugo... I had a nightmare."

"A nightmare?" Yugo asked concerned.

Rin nodded before looking down. "Alex didn't exist, and neither did Yuki, Kelly, Gale or any of our friends in the Ritual Dimension and when Riley beat Zarc... we stopped existing and everybody forgot about us."

(A/N (bopdog111): AKA the original ending of ARC-V.)

Yugo looked worried hearing that.

"It scared me Yugo, I don't want to imagine not being with you, and Alex, and... our little boy." Rin whispered.

Yugo hugged her. She hugged him back gently. "I love you Yugo."

"I love you too Rin." Yugo said.


Meanwhile...

Terri was playing tag with Lulu, and Yuto.

"Almost got me that time." Lulu smiled as she jumped to the side to avoid Terri.

Terri pouted at this.

"You'll get her soon enough Terri." Yuto encouraged.

Terri nodded before continuing to run to Lulu. Lulu started giggling before suddenly falling.

"Lulu!" Terri cried as they ran to her.

"I'm ok, just wasn't watching where I was going." Lulu answered before starting to reach for Terri's hand only to turn and reach for Yuto's instead.

"Huh?" Yuto looked surprised at this.

"Can you help me up Yuto?" Lulu asked him.

Suddenly Terri smiled evilly and grabbed Lulu's hand. "Tag."

Yuto grinned, "Now that was playing dirty Terri."

"Me?" Terri asked with an innocent smile. "Playing dirty daddy?"

Yuto blushed a bit hearing that. Terri giggled helping Lulu up before running away laughing.

"Hey you get back here!" Lulu grinned running after her.

Yuto chuckled a bit seeing this before asking, "Shay this does feel weird, and out of place right?"

"A bit, but you don't look unhappy." Shay chuckled.

"So do you." Yuto chuckled.

Shay smiled. "Shall we join them?"

"I don't see why not." Yuto smiled before noticing something, "Actually you go on ahead, I'll catch up." He ran off.

Shay nodded before going to join Lulu and Terri.


A few minutes later...

The three were breathing a bit as Terri laughed, "Ah we haven't had that much fun in a while!"

"No, we really haven't." Lulu smiled before looking around. "Where's Yuto?"

"Right here." They turned to see he has a styrofoam tray of four cup Ice Creams. "Happen to find out an Ice Cream Truck is near so I decide to get all of us some."

Terri smiled excitedly. "Thanks daddy."

"Anytime Ter." Yuto smiled.

Lulu smiled seeing that.


Meanwhile...

Yuri, Celina, and Lilly were sitting together outside.

"This is the life." Lilly smiled.

"You're right about that." Yuri nodded. "Lilly, thank you."

Lilly turned to him.

"If I hadn't met you that day... I don't want to think about what might have happened. You really did save me." Yuri admitted.

Lilly hugged her father. He hugged her back gently. Celina smiled at this seeing her family was enjoying each other's company.

"Excuse me Celina." Yuri mentioned looking at her. "This is a family hug isn't it?"

Celina looked surprised before shrugging joining in.

A few moments later Yuri let go before smiling. "We should see Julie and Rocky at You Show sometime."

"The Farrow Duo?" Celina asked remembering them.

"Yeah, they're both teachers at You Show now remember? Along with Alexis." Yuri reminded her. "Actually, I've been meaning to meet up with a few people and see what they think of opening a single school to teach all aspects of dueling. The right way."

"So this would be like a new, and improved version of Duel Academy. And the best part is no Obelisk Force." Celina smiled.

"Something like that, a school for anyone from any dimension... of course right now its just an idea." Yuri pointed out before smiling and glancing at Lilly. "Maybe the six of you can teach your own class."

Lilly giggled at this, "And I wonder if Sora, and the others can like that."

"We'll have to wait and see." Celina smiled.

With that the girls share a laugh while Yuri smiled at the scene.


2 Days Later...

Dawn, and Ace were working on their idea as Dawn smiled, "I think their ready."

"Yeah." Ace smiled. "Will daddy like it?"

"We'll have to find out." Dawn smiled.

Ace grinned happily.

"Aw I love that little grin of yours." Dawn smiled.

Ace smiled even more.

"Okay let's get this printed off as real cards." Dawn smiled.

Ace nodded eagerly. "I can't wait."

With that they walked out to where they reached the room where cards are being printed when they encountered Declan, and Leo Akaba.

"Dawn, Ace?" Declan asked. "What are you two doing?"

"Me, and Ace came up with new cards that can change the world of Dueling, and we wanted them print off." Dawn smiled.

"New cards? You mean a new deck for Ace to use?" Leo Akaba inquired.

"Not exactly." Dawn smiled.

"Well, do you need any help printing the cards?" Declan asked them.

"Thank you Uncle Declan." Dawn smiled.

Ace nodded. Declan nodded calmly. They walked in as they head to the control line. Ace was smiling excitedly.

"Here are the designs." Dawn smiled handing Declan the three papers for him to print.

He looked at the cards before his eyes widened. "These cards are... you came up with them?"

"Both me, and Ace did." Dawn smiled. "We think this could change the world of Dueling as we know it."

"It certainly does." Declan nodded.

With that Declan places the papers down before pressing some buttons to get them printed as real cards.

'This is really happening.' Dawn thought with a smile.

The machine scanned, and gone through several procedures but then at the end three cards ejected the machine. Ace immediately ran over to pick them up only to pull his hand back. "Ow, hot."

Dawn chuckled a bit, "I know your eager but all things that exit printers are too hot to handle."

Ace pouted. "I want to show daddy what we did though."

"Let them cool off a bit it will take a minute." Dawn smiled.

"Ok." Ace nodded. "Thank you uncle Declan."

Declan nodded at this. A few minutes later Dawn picked up the three cards. She looked over with a smile seeing their cards of a new card border. Blue Hexagon coated the border as instead of Defense Points have something new, and don't have levels with 8 arrows that some of them are colored. Link Monsters.

"Can we show everybody now big sis?" Ace asked.

"Why not we show them in a Duel?" Dawn smiled.

Ace looked down sadly. "But I still don't know how."

"Oh I meant I will display them in a duel myself while you stand by my side." Dawn clarified. "You still need practice but you can still help out in it."

Ace nodded at that before looking at Dawn's eyes before blinking. "Big sis? Can I ask you something?"

"Yes?" Dawn smiled.

Ace blushed slightly. "I'm bad at math but... did we make you win?"

Declan, and Leo Akaba looked at Dawn with a confused look.

"What do you mean Ace?" Dawn asked.

"Well, this makes Mr. Malacoda strong, and he makes the other people weaker." Ace answered. "Doesn't that mean you win?"

"Oh now that you mention it yeah. But that's only a lucky draw." Dawn smiled to him.

Ace only smiled. "You get to be super strong big sis."

Dawn giggled at this.

"Well, shall we show the others? Though who are you going to duel?" Declan inquired calmly.

"I'm thinking about it. And I am thinking it should be Shay." Dawn answered.

"I'll let him know." Declan nodded before walking off.

Dawn smiled as she looked at the three cards she, and Ace had created.

"We did it big sis." Ace smiled.

Dawn nodded with a smile.


Sometime later...

"You wanted a match?" Shay asked. "Well alright, but I'm not holding back."

Dawn nodded as she placed the new cards she made in her Extra Deck as Ace stood beside her.

"You can go first Dawn." Shay mentioned. "Though I should mention I added a few new Xyz Monsters to my deck."

Dawn nodded.

"DUEL!"


(Dueling Theme: Dragon Soul)

Dawn: 4000

Shay: 4000

Let the duel begin!


Dawn 1st Turn:

Dawn drew as she looked over before smiling, "Okay Shay. Your about to be amazed."

"Oh?" Shay inquired curiously.

"Well with the conditions as I have no spells or traps I can summon these two. Graff, and Alich!" Dawn smiled as she summoned the two. "Get ready Shay."

● If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Burning Abyss" monster from your Deck, except "Graff, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss".


"Synchro or Xyz." Shay noted. "Either way it won't make a difference thanks to my hand."

Dawn smiled before turning to Ace, "You ready to show it Ace?"

"Yeah." Ace smiled excitedly. "Look everybody."

They payed attention. Then Dawn, and Ace declared "Appear the Circuit that connects to the Burning Abyss!"

At that suddenly a square box with 8 arrows on it appeared in front of them.

"Wait what the?" Shay asked in shock.

"What is that?" Sora questioned in disbelief.

"No way... you two..." Zarc started as he just stared in awe.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are 2 level 3 monsters! We set Graff, and Alich as the Link Markers!" Dawn, and Ace declared as Graff,, and Alich flew up transforming to short tornadoes flying to the bottom-left, and bottom-right arrows turning them red. "Circuit combined! Link Summon! Link 2, Cherubini, Black Angel of the Burning Abyss!

At that blue data from the circuit morphed into what looks like a demonic angel with black wings cawing with 500 attack points.


Cherubini, Black Angel of the Burning Abyss

Dark Type

Link Rating 2

Fairy/Link

ATK: 500

Link Arrow: Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right

2 Level 3 monsters
Monsters this card points to cannot be destroyed by card effects. If this card on the field would be destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect, you can send 1 other card you control to the GY instead. You can send 1 Level 3 monster from your Deck to the GY, then target 1 "Burning Abyss" monster on the field; it gains ATK/DEF equal to the sent monster's ATK/DEF, until the end of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Cherubini, Black Angel of the Burning Abyss" once per turn.


"What did you just do?" Riley asked.

"Me, and Ace have came up with a new summoning method." Dawn smiled.

"Known as Link Summoning." Ace smiled.

"Another summoning mechanic..." Zarc whispered before smiling. "That's amazing."

"Link Monsters go to the Extra Monster Zone!" Dawn called as Shay noticed on his Duel Disk that Dawn's new monster was placed in a zone where it's two arrows are pointing at the middle, and first monster zones of Dawn's.

"That's different." Shay admitted. "Then again with only 500 points your new monster isn't a threat."

"Well I'll summon Farfa from my hand in defense mode." Dawn said summoning the monster to where Cherubini's Bottom-Right arrow was pointing at as Cherubini started to glow.


Farfa, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss

● If you control no Spell/Trap Cards: You can Special Summon this card from your hand.
● If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 monster on the field; banish it until the End Phase.


"Huh?" Shay asked.

"One thing about Link Monsters is that their Link Arrows are access to their abilities." Dawn explained. "As long as Farfa is in one of Cherubini's Link Arrows you can't use effects to destroy Farfa."

"So that's it, Link Monsters protect other monsters." Leo said. "That's cool."

"Not all of them can." Dawn told him. "You'll find out more about them later. I end my turn."

She placed two cards down to end her turn.

Shay 1st Turn:

"Alright, I'll start by summoning Raidraptor - Vanishing Lanius in attack mode, and his effect summons Raidraptor - Fuzzy Lanius." Shay started.

The two birds appeared cawing.


Raidraptor - Vanishing Lanius

Winged-Beast

A new Falcon appeared.

When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can detach any number of Xyz Materials from this card; destroy exactly that number of monsters your opponent controls.


(ORU: 2)

"Since it's a monster summoned from the Extra Deck it goes to the Extra Monster zone." Dawn said as Blade Burner Falcon was placed in a zone beside Cherubini.

"Ok..." Shay started before shrugging. "By sending Rank-Up-Magic Raptor Force to the graveyard I can use Blade Burner Falcon to summon out my Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon - Airraid!"

A new form of Revolution Falcon appeared.


Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon - Airraid

(ORU: 3)

"And when he's summoned he destroys one of your monsters and you take damage equal to its attack points." Shay explained.

"So your targeting Cherubini?" Dawn asked.

"It's the only monster I can target." Shay pointed out.

The monster charged.

"Well I can activate Cherubini's ability!" Dawn called.

"Another effect?" Shay questioned.

"Whenever he would be destroyed by battle or one of your effects I can send a card I control to the graveyard instead." Dawn answered as Farfa vanished as her Link Monster survived the blow.

"And since Farfa went to the graveyard his effect activates." Shay frowned.

"Which banishes your monster." Dawn answered as Shay's Xyz vanished. "Which means his Overlay Units are now gone when he comes back but there's now good news for you."

"How is that good news?" Shay questioned.

"When a Extra Deck monster is summoned except by summoning it from the Extra Deck like from the graveyard or by banishment you can summon them to one of your Monster Zones." Dawn explained. "And that will allow you to use your Extra Monster Zone to summon another Xyz Monster."

"I see, interesting." Shay nodded.

"Okay what's next Shay?" Dawn asked him.

"I end my turn." Shay frowned as his Xyz monster reappeared.


Dawn: 4000

Shay: 4000


Dawn 2nd Turn:

Dawn drew before she said, "Okay with my Normal Summon I'll go with Calcab, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss."

If you control a monster that is not a "Burning Abyss" monster, destroy this card. You can only use 1 of these effects of "Calcab, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" per turn, and only once that turn.
● If you control no Spell/Trap Cards: You can Special Summon this card from your hand.
● If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 Set Spell/Trap Card on the field; return that target to the hand.


Shay nodded calmly.

"Then I activate Monster Reborn to summon from my graveyard Graff." Dawn said as the wolf monster appeared howling.


Monster Reborn

Normal Spell Card

Target 1 monster in either player's GY; Special Summon it.


Shay frowned seeing that.

"Normally I can't Xyz Summon when a Extra Monster Zone is occupied. But..." Dawn trailed off before saying, "If their are Link Monsters in the Extra Monster Zone you can use their Link Arrows to summon monsters from the Extra Deck as long as their arrows points at the Zone their pointing at."

"Wait, but what about me and dad?" Stacy asked. "Pendulum Summoning uses the Extra Deck a lot."

"Since that counts as summoning from the Extra Deck you can only use 1 Extra Monster Zone unless you summon a Link Monster that points at 2 or more of your Monster Zones." Dawn explained.

Stacy looked down hearing that.

"Hey don't worry you can still use the regular rules. The new rules are optional after all." Dawn smiled.

"That's a relief, Stacy and I depend on Pendulum." Yuya admitted.

Dawn nodded before calling, "I use Graff, and Calcab to build the Overlay Network!"

"Dante." Terri recalled.

"Warrior of the Burning Abyss join here, and now to bring peace back to this world! With your power shape the world to our image! Xyz Summon! Rank 3! Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss!" Dante appeared in place.


Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss

Light Type

Rank 3

Warrior/Xyz

ATK: 1000

DEF: 2500

2 Level 3 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and choose a number from 1 to 3, then send that many cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard; until the end of this turn, this card gains 500 ATK for each card sent to the Graveyard this way. If this card attacks, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "Burning Abyss" card in your Graveyard, except this card; add it to your hand.


(ORU: 2)

"You're amazing big sis." Alex smiled.

"Yeah, and you too little bro." Kelly added. "This looks super cool."

Ace blushed hearing that.

"Wait, weren't there three?" Leo Akaba recalled.

"Yeah but only Daddy, and Ace can use the other two." Dawn answered.

"Yup, and... big sis Terri does she win?" Ace asked.

"Well now I activate Dante's ability to send the top three cards from my deck to the graveyard to gain 500 points for each one." Dawn said discarding the three which were Alich, Farfa, and Cagna.

Shay frowned seeing that.

Dante: (ATK: 1000 + (500 * 3) = 2500)

"Cagna removes Graff, Alich, and Farfa from the game to deal 900 points of damage, and Farfa removes your monster from play!" Dawn called.

Shay frowned as his monster vanished.

(Shay: 3100)

Ace smiled excitedly. "Big sis wins."

"Because now I activate Cherubini's ability! I can send a level 3 or lower Burning Abyss from my Deck to my graveyard, and in return Dante gains it's attack points!" Dawn called.

"He what?" Shay asked in shock.

"So I send Dragnhig to the graveyard." Dawn said discarding the card. "Now Dante gains his 1100 attack points!"

Dante: (ATK: 2500 + 1100 = 3600)

"... Wow." Zarc said in awe.

"Now Dante attack Shay directly!" Dawn called as her Xyz charged.

The attack struck sending Shay flying.


Dawn: 4000

Shay: 0000

Dawn wins the duel!


Dawn smiled, "I think this victory means Link Summoning just became successful."

"I would agree with that." Yugo nodded. "You two are super creative coming up with this."

Dawn smiled before saying, "Well it was Ace's idea. I just decide to help him out."

Ace blushed a lot hearing that before his eyes widened and he ran to Zarc. "Daddy, this is for you."

Zarc looked surprised before taking the card, and looking at it.

"I... wanted to make one for you." Ace admitted nervously. "Do you like it?"

"Purified Soul Link Dragon?" Zarc asked surprised before smiling hugging Ace, "No Ace I don't like it. I love it."

Ace smiled hugging him back. "I love you daddy."

"I love you two Ace." Zarc smiled.


Ulrich362: What a touching moment.

bopdog111: Ace, and Dawn created Link Summoning themselves.

Ulrich362: A new mechanic that is certain to change the game quite a bit. Though like Dawn said the Link rules are optional.

bopdog111: So the regular rules can be used.

Ulrich362: Good thing for Yuya and Stacy.

bopdog111: Well that's the start of the new version of the sequel.

Ulrich362: Hopefully this time things go a bit better.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!

Ulrich362: See you in the next chapter.
