Hello this is my first YuGiOh fanfiction! I really love both Yugioh series and the new Yugioh Zexal series. I was wondering what would happen if Yugi, Yami, Yuma and Astral meet up?
Here are some... uh... points to the story!
1) Hmm.. So far I think there will be light/fluff puzzleshipping (If you want you can see it as brotherly love thing lol) We'll see how it goes XD
2) The story will revolve around Yugi and Yami, even though there is Yuma and Astral,
3) You don't have to know the whole story of Yugioh Zexal to understand this story since Yugi and Yami are the main.
4) Yugi in this story is 18 while Yuma is 15 (I understand Yuma is 13? in the series but I thought 15 would be good!)
5) Few fluffy keyshipping? I don't know yet lol!
It's been exactly one year ever since the ceremonial duel between two duelists who used to share the Millennium Puzzle. Yugi Muto had a difficult time saying goodbye to his close friend who was the former pharaoh of Egypt but separation was something that Yugi expected. Even though it would have been great if the spirit named Yami could stay with Yugi forever just like how he once told him but that's just not how the reality worked. After going through so many adventures and adversities together, Yugi had to finally release Yami to his afterlife.
This was one year ago.
Yugi Muto was now 18 years old and just like the rest of the previous high school students, he attends Domino University. Tea decided to do a broad study in order to gain some experience towards different dancing style while Joey and Tristan managed to somehow magically get enrolled into Domino University as well. Kaiba didn't plan to attend the university since he was already busy with his famous cooperation and business areas.
Even though Yugi had a normal school life, he couldn't help but to feel depressed every time when he thought about the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle. Yugi still continued to duel since Duel Monsters evolved more than simple card games. There were even high schools and colleges that were specifically designed to train students to become professional duelists as their future careers. Joey suggested that Yugi should have attended a dueling university instead of a normal school but Yugi insisted. To be honest, every time when Yugi saw duel monsters, he felt emptiness in his heart.
Ever since Yami left, Yugi started to duel less. The only time when he actually played the card game was when his friends begged him or when Kaiba invited Yugi into his tournament to take the title of "The King of Games." But every time when Yugi dueled someone, he would always win no matter what and he was somewhat happy that his dueling skills didn't rust away just yet.
"That was some crazy midterm! I need some serious break or I'm going to crack for sure!" Joey stretched out his arm and yawned.
"Yeah right, Joey. I saw you sleeping half way through the midterm. You don't have to pretend you were working so hard to solve those questions," Tristan laughed at his buddy but instantly backed away when Joey tried to hit him with his school bag.
"Shut up Tristan! It's not like you did any better," said Joey.
"I told you puling an all-nighter was a bad idea Joey," Yugi gave out a weak smile as he sighed a little.
"Yeah~Yeah. Wait until you guys see the awesome score I get when the professor passes back the test," said Joey with confidence.
"Right, I bet your name is going to be on the bottom of the-"
"So Yug, I heard that Kaiba is opening a winter tournament duel. The winner gets prize money of ten thousand dollars!" said Joey as he covered Tristan's mouth with his right hand. "Are you going to enter?"
"I'm not sure about this one, Joey," Yugi shrugged his shoulder, "I mean, I heard that this one has nothing to do with fighting over "the King of Games" title so maybe I should sit this one out. But I can cheer for you," Yugi smiled.
"Yeah," Tristan managed to free himself, "Yugi is being nice by not entering. Maybe you can finally have a chance Joey."
"Grr.. Tristan!" Joey felt his vain pop, "I hope you enter the tournament too so I can beat you up in front of the whole audience!"
As Tristan and Joey continued to fight, they finally reached their dorm apartment. But since today was Friday, Yugi decided to go visit his grandfather by taking the bus.
"You sure you don't want to visit your grandpa tomorrow? We could just go down together you know," asked Joey.
"It's cool Joey. I promised I would visit my grandpa today anyways. I'll see you guys tomorrow, then?"
"Sure, see you later, Yug!" Joey waved his hand.
"Yeah, don't get yourself into danger," Tristan also called back and the two roommates finally entered the apartment.
As Yugi walked down from his university to the bus stop, he felt as if someone was stalking him down few feet away. But every time when he turned, there was nobody there.
'Am I just imagining things?' Yugi tilted his head in confusion. 'I remember when Yami was here, we used to talk a lot when I wasn't with my friends. Now… it just feels…'
"Hello Yugi, long time no see."
"W-what?" Yugi turned around but he didn't see anyone standing behind him. The voice continued to speak through the thin air.
"But let's make this story short. I want you to be my human sacrifice to get my hands on the ultimate power to rebuild this world once again," the dark voice chuckled.
"Ultimate power?" Yugi was still a little skeptical. It's been a while since he had to deal with super natural events ever since Yami left to his after-life.
"Atem, ring any bell?"
"…? You're not making any sense!" Yugi quickly countered. Who was this mysterious voice and how in the world does he know about Yami in the first place? "Show yourself, you coward! I bet you're just making up stories and-"
Then all of the sudden, a human figure finally appeared in front of Yugi's eyes.
"B-bakura?" Yugi stepped back a little, realizing that something was horribly wrong. "No.. it's can't be."
"Hello there little Yugi," Yami Bakura smiled as he presented the Millennium Puzzle that clearly belonged to Yami.
"How did you get your hands on those?!" Yugi recalled all the Millennium items getting buried away in the temple once the ceremonial duel was over, "No scratch that, I thought I would never see you again!"
"Well think again and it took me a lot of time and energy to finally find this treasure," Yami Bakura took the Millennium Puzzle and was about to wear it around his neck. At the same time, Yugi's instinct told him that something bad would happen if he lets Yami Bakura wear the necklace.
"Give it back! It doesn't belong to you!" Yugi shouted as he ran to the villain and tried to take the Millennium Puzzle away.
"Ha! Once I wear this, I am going to use your body as a human sacrifice!" Yami Bakura's laughter echoed into Yugi's ears.
"I don't know how you came back here but I won't let you!" Yugi pulled harder and just then, the Millennium Puzzle started to glow in bright light that blinded both Yami Bakura and Yugi.
"Arrrg…! What's going on? This puzzle is not supposed to activate until someone wears it!" The white haired spirit screamed.
"… What's going on….?" Yugi had his eyes shut tightly but he refused to let go of the most precious item.
(After Life or spiritual world!)
Yami was walking along the trail of small river that was located a little further away from his kingdom. Ever since his spirit was freed from the puzzle that once trapped his soul, Yami was able to enter his after-life also known as the spirit world to rest in peace. However, nothing was really special if you asked the pharaoh. Everything was still the same. He continued to rule the Egypt just like how he would have had during his past life and he continued to talk to his friends, royal servants and peasants who visited him. Once in a while there would be some threats who would challenge the pharaoh but Yami managed to win against every adversities. It really just felt like he was re-living his past history once again.
Most of the time, Yami was at peace but there were many times when he wished that his soul was trapped back to the Millennium Puzzle again. He would be able to continue his life with his lighter half, Yugi.
It was true that Yami enjoyed living his after life with people he cared about but he also missed all the events that he shared with Yugi as well. When the ceremonial duel was over, Yami actually thought about just staying back in the real world with Yugi and his friends. But he also knew that that would not be the correct decision to make. Yugi had his own life now and Yami couldn't forever interfere with Yugi's personal business. He sometimes wondered how much Yugi had grown. Yami stopped walking and saw his own reflection in the river with a glum look on his face.
"Yugi… I hope you still have memories of all the things we went through together," Yami murmured.
"My pharaoh!" One of Yami's servant ran to the king of Egypt with an alert look on her face riding a black horse.
"Forgive me if I am interrupting anything," said the servant as she quickly got off from the horse, "But I have an urgent news!"
"Go on," Yami gestured his hand.
"While I was walking down the village to check everything was in order, I saw… I.."
"Yes? What is it?"
"I… I'm not sure if I am pronouncing the name correctly but I remember you once telling me about a boy name Yugi Muto. A boy who resembles you?"
When Yami heard Yugi's name, his attention was now sharply focused to the girl. When the pharaoh didn't say anything, the servant thought it would be best if she kept explaining the situation.
"I think Yugi is in this spirit world, my pharaoh!"
"W-what? Yugi is here? How is that even possible?" Yami's eyes went wide open as he thought about the possibilities. "Where is he now? Is he wandering off?
"No my pharaoh, he seems to be unconscious," replied the servant. "I didn't really know what to do so I thought it would be best for me to bring this to your attention and let you decide. "
"Yugi is unconscious?!"
At that moment, Yami's worry for his lighter-self grew instantly as he felt his heart rate increased faster. What would have happened to him? Was it safe for Yugi to be in his after-life in the first place? Most importantly, was Yugi safe at this current situation?
"I'm going to take the horse," said Yami as he rode on to the black horse, "Where was he located?"
"In the east side of our palace not too far away from the main oasis," she quickly answered.
"While I go and find Yugi, go and bring Seto and Isis. Maybe they can help deal with this situation."
"Should I bring Mana and Mahad as well, my pharaoh?"
"Yes, that would be good. We might need to gather all the knowledge to solve this matter." The king of Egypt then took off as fast as he could to the location where his servant had claimed to find Yugi. As the horse ran with his fastest speed, Yami couldn't simply figure out what could have caused Yugi to appear into the spiritual world. Yami actually would have been very happy to see Yugi if he didn't hear the unconscious part from his royal servant. As Yami let out a huge sigh, he began to see the main oasis. Few seconds later, he saw a small boy that had his face flat against the sand wearing the signature blue jacket and jeans.
'No.. it can't be. It's really Yugi?' The pharaoh couldn't believe his eyes as his horse finally came to a stop.
"Yugi!" Yami got off from the horse and gently flipped the boy over and to his surprise, it was non other than his partner from the previous year. "Yugi, Yugi! Please wake up, or say something." The pharaoh gently shook the teenage boy in his arms and few seconds later, he felt a small movement.
"…..Ng…. " Yugi's eyes began to slowly reveal his purple eyes. 'It's so hard to open them… what's with this sun light…?' Yugi thought to himself.
"Yugi! Are you alright? Are you hurt somewhere?" said the pharaoh as he used his free hand to dust off some sand against Yugi's face.
"… That voice…" Yugi whispered before fully opening his eyes. The first thing that Yugi witnessed was a person with a tanned skin who shared similar feature as himself. The person had tri-colored hair, more sharper eyes than Yugi, an Egyptian crown on the forehead that had the symbol of the Millennium Eye, few golden accessories and the famous Millennium Puzzle necklace.
"Ya.. Yami?!" Yugi finally managed to stutter the name that crossed his mind. "Is that really you?"
When Yami heard Yugi's voice, a huge rush of relief filled his heart as the pharaoh smiled in happiness.
"Yes, it's me, Yugi. You scared me so much," Yami gave the concerned look as he helped his lighter half stand up properly. "Hmm.. I see you've grown a little when we departed." The king of Egypt noticed that Yugi's height was now similar as his own.
"I see you're the same as ever Yami," then Yugi mentally slapped himself for not using the pharaoh's real name since Yami was just a label his spirit of the puzzle used, "I mean, Atem," Yugi corrected himself with a slight embarrassment.
Yami quickly waved off his hand, "You can call me Yami if you want Yugi. I've grown accustomed to hear that name from you anyways, it doesn't really bother me at all," he said with a smile.
"Hope you don't mind then," Yugi chuckled and went a little closer to the spirit to give him a hug, "I just never thought I would see you again, Yami. I… I really did miss you a lot ever since our soul separated."
Yami's eyes softened when he received a warm hug from Yugi.
"I'm glad that you didn't forget about me too, Yugi."
"Forget you?" Yugi gently pulled himself from Yami to face him, "Don't joke around, Yami. I would never forget the person who made a huge difference in my life. In a good way, of course."
Yami let out a soft laughter, "The same goes for me too. I always wondered how you were doing back in the real world and there were times when I tried to find a way for me to connect myself to you spiritually but that wasn't very successful," Yami shook his head a little, "But let's talk about the important things first. What happened to you? Why were you unconscious? I don't know how you managed to come to this spiritual world but… wait… Yugi why do you have the Millennium Puzzle in your hand?" Yami pointed to the yellow puzzle that Yugi had as he touched the same puzzle that was around his own neck.
"O-Oh right," Yugi also noticed that there were two Millennium Puzzles. One that he was holding and the one that Yami wore. "I don't know if you're going to believe this but I saw Bakura! I mean not our friend Bakura but the one from the Millennium Ring, the evil spirit!"
"But that's not possible…" Yami trailed off, allowing his partner to continue.
"I don't know what happened but he managed to have the Millennium Puzzle and he said something about using me as a human sacrifice and-"
"What?!" Yami shouted as his anger started to boil down. He didn't like the sound of this and the trouble that Yami Bakura caused for Yugi, "Yugi… please don't tell me you're in this spirit world because…"
"Don't worry, Yami," Yugi raised hands in the air as he forced a weak smile, "I don't remember dying so I doubt that's what happened."
"Good, my rage might have woken up the gods." The pharaoh rolled his eyes.
"Then I tried to steal the Millennium Puzzle back from Bakura and suddenly, the puzzle started to glow... out of nowhere! Then I remember Bakura saying something about how the puzzle shouldn't activate… and then I assume that's when I fainted," said Yugi as he wore the Millennium Puzzle just like how Yami had his.
"The Millennium Puzzle must have tried to protect you and maybe that's the reason why you were brought here," Yami tried to reason but there were so many questions that he had regarding Bakura. How was he able to bring himself back to Yugi's world? Was Yugi even safe staying at the spiritual world since he wasn't dead yet?
"I'm just as confused as you are…" Yugi trailed off.
"What's important is that you're safe for now, Yugi," said Yami as he placed his hand on top of his partner's shoulder. "I asked my servant to bring Seto and Isis to help us solve this case and hopefully send you back to your world."
"I don't know Yami, I kind of like staying in this spiritual Egypt world with you," Yugi tried to banter since he felt like he brought so much problems for Yami to deal with.
Yami got the hint that Yugi was just trying to lighten up the mood that was between them.
"The after life is not as great as it sounds, Yugi," said Yami as he petted the black horse behind him, "It just feels like reliving my past life again."
"Past life as a pharaoh, which is cool, Yami" Yugi pointed out.
"Yes, but I do miss being back in the real world where I was able to spend my time with you as well."
The sentence that escaped from Yami's lips caused Yugi to smile instantly. Yugi thought he must be very lucky to be destined to meet Yami who was kind and supportive when they once shared one body.
"Yami I… wait," Yugi's attention went to a crowd of people that was few feet away from where he and Yami stood. "Uh… any idea why those people are running over here?"
The pharaoh turned around to see hoard of angry looking people all running towards him and Yugi with various types of weapons. To Yami's surprise, Isis, Mana and even Mahad were part of the angry mob as well.
"There he is!" One man who had a large sword in his hand pointed at Yami. As the crowd came closer, Yami instantly stood in front of Yugi to protect his lighter half as he tried to understand the situation.
"Isis, what is the meaning of this?" Yami demanded to the woman who possessed the Millennium Necklace.
"In the name of our pharaoh Bakura, we must kill Atem and use Yugi as a human offering," said Isis and thousands of people behind her agreed.
"Pharaoh Bakura?" Yugi furrowed his eyes, "Yami, I mean Atem is your king. What are you guys talking about?"
"We have to capture them before they run away!" Mana, who resembled the dark magician girl, held her wand high into the air as she tried to summon a wall of fire to not let Yami and Yugi escape.
"Yugi stay behind me," Yami warned his partner as he used his own power to counter Mana's spells.
"Kill Atem in the name of Pharaoh Bakura! Kill Atem in the name of Pharaoh Bakura!" People continued to chant and even Yami didn't know what to do at this situation.
"I'm sorry, Yami," Yugi sheepishly apologized, "I must have caused something."
"No Yugi, it's not your fault at all. I bet the spirit of the Millennium Ring has to do with this."
"My Pharaoh!" Both Yugi and Yami heard the familiar voice from their back and when they turned around, it was Priest Seto running towards them with the Millennium Rod.
"It's Kaiba!" yelled Yugi, "I mean, Priest Seto," Yugi frowned at himself again for the incorrect name usage.
"Bakura managed to enter this world and he affected everyone's mind with the stone card called change of heart," Seto explained, "I was protected by the powers of the Millennium Rod but as you can see, everyone now believes that you are a threat to Egypt and Bakura is the pharaoh."
"No, then we have to find Bakura and stop him!" shouted Yugi.
"Yes, but it seems that Bakura is not working alone. You have to listen, I overheard Bakura talking to someone about how he wants to use Yugi as an offering to the gods to accomplish... something and take your power," Seto referred to Yami, "and escape to the real world to cause destruction and rule the place."
"What is he trying to accomplish by getting his hands on Yugi?" Yami gritted his teeth, trying to tolerate his rising anger.
"That's why I need you to figure it out. I saw Bakura sending off the person that he's working with to another world thousands of years into the future. They must be planning something big."
"The future?" Yugi gasped.
"I can stay in this spiritual world to try to bring everything in order while you, my pharaoh and Yugi can go after that guy."
Just then, the crowd of people stared to run towards where the three were standing. Before Yami had the chance to do anything, Seto used his Millennium Rod to create a protective barrier just in time.
"I managed to hear the spell that Bakura used to open a doorway to the future part of the real world!" yelled Seto as he whispered a language that Yugi did not understand. Soon enough, a black portal opened behind Yugi and Yami. "Go and try to stop whatever the evil plot that Bakura and his unknown partner has in their sleeves."
"But Seto, are you going to be okay by yourself?" The king of Egypt was worried for his dear friend. If what everything Seto said was true then he wouldn't stand a chance against everyone in this whole Egypt because of Yami Bakura's change of heart spell.
"I will be fine!" Seto hissed under his breath when he realized the barrier started to shatter, "Now go! Before it's too late!" Then the priest pushed both Yami and Yugi into the portal leading to another dimension, leaving Seto with huge groups of angry mob glaring at him with callous eyes.
"Where am I falling off too?!" Yugi screamed to the top of his lung as he feared for what was ahead of him. The teenage boy closed his eyes tightly as he continued to fall upside down into who knows where but all o the sudden, he felt strong arms wrapping around his body protectively.
'Yami…!' Yugi thought to himself as he almost forgot, he wasn't alone. The boy gently opened his eyes turned around to see his darker half as the former pharaoh tightened his arms around Yugi.
"Don't worry Yugi, I trust my friend Seto," said the spirit as his tanned skin became lighter just like how Yugi remembered when he first met Yami, "I also know that it is my duty to protect you and make sure Bakura doesn't get his filthy hands on you for his plot."
"Yami…" Yugi felt a small warmth around his heart when he heard Yami's confidence voice, "Thank you and don't forget, I'm here to help you as well," he smiled.
The former pharaoh nodded his head as all of his golden accessories turned into thin air and his Egyptian clothes turned into the same clothes that Yugi wore. Both Yugi's and Yami's Millennium Puzzle fused together to create one pyramid shaped necklace as the two continued to fall.
'I will devote my life to protect you, partner,' Yami thought to himself as darkness consumed both him and his lighter part.
(In the real world future time!)
"Kattobinguda ore!" A 15 years old boy with red and blue hair named Tsukumo Yuma yelled in the middle of the park, causing the blue spirit of the Emperor's Key to shake his head gently.
"Yuma, I don't understand why you decided not to bring your friends today," said the spirit called Astral as he floated around his friend.
"I just feel like looking around this park alone today," said Yuma, "You know, it just feels good to have a private moment once in a while."
"But Yuma, you are definitely not alone," Astral pointed at himself with a confused look. "Am I disturbing this so called privacy of yours?"
"Eh…well… you are kind of like an exception since you can't really go anywhere away from me anyways," Yuma sighed, "But it's totally fine because today I'm in a good mood to answer all your questions about this world," Yuma smiled. The young duelist was usually annoyed when his blue spirit friend asked him various types of random questions that revolved around human world like television, amusement parks, eating and other cool stuff you can do as being human. Astral really knew only about dueling and apart from that, he was clueless.
"So I can ask you any questions, right?" Astral had a small smile formed on his lips as he looked about to find something that interested him.
Just then out from the nowhere, a dark vortex opened and Yugi's body appeared right in front of Astral and Yuma.
"WHAT?!" Yuma screamed as he rubbed his eyes to see if he was not just seeing things. "Did.. did, did, did this guy just come out from the thin air, Astral?!" Yuma pointed Yugi who appeared to be fainted at this moment.
'…! Yugi, open your eyes,' Yami, who no longer had the solid body anymore, stood next to Yugi as a spiritual form not being able to do anything to his partner.
"Yuma, I have two questions for you at this point," said Astral as his mismatched eyes observed everything that happened in front of him.
"My first question, do people have the power to travel through dimensions?" asked Astral, "And my second question is…"
Then Yami realized that the strange alien looking spirit was able to see him just like how the pharaoh was able to see Astral.
"My second question is, who is that person standing next to the unconscious boy?" Astral pointed at Yami but to Yuma's eyes, he didn't see anyone aside from Yugi.
'What... he can see me?' Yami had a confused look on his face while Yuma continued to have a panic attack.
"Gyah! Astral stop fooling around!" Yuma went closer to Yugi's lifeless body and shook him a little, "We have to help this person! Should I call the the emergency? Take him to the hospital? What should I do, Astral?!" Yuma desperately asked for his spiritual friend's help.
So.. Astral can see Yami and Yami can see Astral.. LOL! Two serious spiritual characters can see each other now! Now DUEL!
Aww poor Yugi and LOL Yuma XP
