Author's note: Yet, another chapter of AD. Another fair warning warning that a death scene happens.
...Actually, make that two if you count the first one. And this may be in a slighting confusing back and forth scenes happening at the same time sorta, so, yeah. Fair warning to that as well. Hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh 5Ds. Most of the OCs are mine. Most because Eden belongs to EvanderAdvent. Oh, and that Fenix Deck and the Earthbound Immortal Kurai Fennikusu belong to Shimmering-Sky.

Shatter Souls

"…Oh please tell me I am imagining all this." I said in disbelief. Seriously, Crow becomes a Dark Signers. There's no way. "And whatever I have done over there, please tell me that Aoi didn't call me what I think he just called me."
"Nope. Definitely, you're not imagining this." Kyoko answered. "Same goes for the second question."
"Dang it." I grunted. I felt like strangling Crow to death and punching Aoi in the face upon seeing the scenes. "It's just…agh…I'm starting to feel faint."
"Then let's continue one before you pass out and miss the important parts of the scenes.
"…And that's pretty much what happened. So now that you know exactly what's going on, then I guess that would help you explain what happened in the Spirit World." Crystal was sitting on a park bench with a young man named Kira Takuto, who had just got out of the hospital just recently. As Crystal finished talking, Takuto can only stared at her in concern.
"Wow…that's…" Takuto breathed in as he ran his hair, "I don't know what to say about all this."
"It's hard to believe. I get that." Crystal replied as she placed her hand over her star mark. "But everything I just told you is true. Which is a reason why both the Human World and the Spirit World are starting to crumble apart."
"I see. But it's not the fact that I don't believe. I mean…I do…Really." The ebony hair duelist reassured her. "It's just…It's that I can't believe that all this time, you've been chosen as one of the legendary Guardians of the Crimson Dragon and have to carry the burden on your shoulders all the time. I mean…I couldn't stand seeing you getting hurt like this. Especially with all the personal things you've been dealing with right now."
"I know." The purple hair whispered. "But I can't avoid that situation anymore. Besides…I promise one of my friends that I'll help her get her dragon back."
Before Takuto can say anything, they heard the sound grass crushing across from them. They look up and noticed someone standing in front of them.
"Hey. What a coincidence." Akane greeted them, almost half heartlily. "Though, I thought you two have already broken up."
That got Crystal to snapped at the scarlet hair duelist. "Just because we're not together anymore, doesn't mean that we can't see each other as friends."
Akane put her hand up in defense. "Alright, alright. Chill. I didn't mean it." Then, she kneeled down in front of the blind girl and stared at her. "Listen Crystal, I'm sorry for the way I reacted to you, Yusei, and the twins at the Fortune Cup. It's just…well…I got pissed off for all the things that are happening to us right now. If you're still mad at me, I understand because I deserve it. But care to hear me out a little bit?"
That got Crystal to raised her eyebrow at her friend in interest. "Go on."
Akane took a deep breathe. "Okay. Well first off, after taking a moment of thinking…and my brother into convincing me…I decided to help you guys."
"Really?" Crystal asked in disbelief.
Akane nodded. "I'm serious about this. Otherwise, I wouldn't be telling you this, face-to-face. So would that be okay for you?"
Before Crystal can say anything, a searing pain spread through her right arm, causing her to winced in pain Same thing for Akane. They both grabbed their arms in pain, where their identical star marks are.
"Hey, are you two okay?!" Takuto asked with a worried look on his face. Suddenly, dark, purple flames raised up, surrounding the three of them. Then, Takuto looked up to the sky and gasped. "Holy shit!"
"What's up?!" Akane asked. Then, she looked up and grunted, noticing the geoglyphs in the sky, "Jesus Christ."
"What did you guys see?!" Crystal asked in panic.
"Three geoglyphs, like the ones we seen in our visions." Akane answered. "Spider, wolf, and some kind of of a bird. Something bad has happened."
Somewhere outside of the hospital building, both Rudger and Yusei were in the Shadow Duel against each other. And from the looks of it, Rudger was the one who have the upper hand. Reason for that, he already sent out the spider Earthbound Immortal.
"Seems like this will be your downfall, Yusei." Rudger told him. "Earthbound Immortal Uru has the ability to attack my opponent directly without any traps, spells, and/or monster to stop it! Go Uru! Hell Thread!"
The spider responded by shooting out spider webs from its mouth.
"I activate trap card, Iron Resolve!" Yusei shouted as he flipped the card up, "By paying half of my life points, I can reduce the damage to zero!"
A barrier surrounded Yusei and blocked the attack, which hit the nearby building and made it crumbled to the ground. Rudger grunted and slapped another card on the disk.
"Very well. I'll end my turn with a face down card!"
Somewhere at another field were another Shadow Duel, where Crow and Yuna were fighting against each other. Soon, blizzards erupted from Yuna's side as green rings and white orbs floated around her and merged together.
"Into the mist of the snow storm, rise from the blizzards and make this earth sleep into a frozen void. Synchro Summon! Emerge from the icy mountains, Sheer Freeze Dragon!"
Out of a white light, a blue serpent-like dragon with white eyes emerged to the field, flapping its icy, feathery wings.
"I activate Sheer Freeze Dragon's effect!" Yuna shouted. "Once per turn, I can destroy one face up card on the field. The one I'm targeting is Black Fenix Dragon!"
"Not so fast!" Crow declared. " I activate the effect of Fenix-Jetstream the Amber Sky. By discarding it, I save my dragon from destruction, and inflict 1500 damage to your life points!"
That was when something surrounded Crow's black, serpent-like dragon and hit Yuna, hard in front. Yuna skidded backwards and looked at the orange hair duelist.
"Nevertheless, it still have a battle phase to conduct!" Yuna seethed through her teeth. "Sheer Freeze Dragon, attack Black Fenix dragon! Absolute Zero!"
The ice dragon let out a powerful blast of ice attack on the black dragon, making it burst into shards of lights. It was so powerful, that the orange hair Dark Signer grunted and nearly flew backwards. Though, the dark hair guardian noticed this immediately and gave him a desperate concerned look.
"Crow! Stop this!" Yuna cried. "You don't have to do all this!"
"Save it!" The ginger stood up and glared at her. "It's as if you care about me! You're the one who made me like this!"
"You…You're right. I did all this to you." Yuna admitted, letting a single tear rolled down from her face. "But that doesn't change the fact that I do still care about you! Besides, are you okay with doing all of this, Crow? Cuz what you're doing is no difference!"
The ginger sneered at her. "Yes it is! This is different! And I'll make sure you'll repent your crime you murderer."
"Crow…I…I…"
"I activate the effect of Black Fenix Dragon! When it's destroy, I can add a certain card from my deck to my hand."
A card came out of the deck and started emitting dark auras. "Now I activate my Trap, Fenix Revenge, which forces the end of turn when a Fenix Monster is destroyed and special summons two Fenix Token! Too bad for you, Yuna. Because this is your last turn!"
Two small flames in the shape of birds appear next to Crow. Before he can continued, a scream was heard, causing the two duelist to look at another field.
"Rudger, what did you do?!" Yusei yelled, as he noticed Rudger teleporting to the nearby spider web, leaving a red headed boy appeared with a Dark Signer mark on his arm, taking his place.
"Simple Yusei. Perhaps, this is probably too risky for me now to make you a Dark Signer. So instead, I found this boy's spirit, set him free, and let him take my place in this duel." Rudger answered in a as-of-a-matter-of-factly tone.
"COWARD! How dare you bring Rally into this?!" A female voice shouted. Yusei turned around and noticed that it was Yuna shouting at another duel field with Crow.
"Wait, Yuna. You know him?" Yusei asked.
"Yes. He's a friend of mine back in Satellite, after I was free from the Facility." Yuna said calmly as she turned to Rudger. "Rudger Goodwin, I demand you to leave Rally out of this!"
"I'm afraid that's not possible." Rudger smirked. "The only way he can escape this if he chose the win this duel. However, he can also choose to lost this duel, only for him to disappeared again. Surrendering, though, is not an option."
Yuna balled her fist and glared at him. "Damn you…I swear I will make your life a living hell!"
The silver hair man only laughed at her. "I'm afraid you can't do that. You're still in a Shadow Duel, remember?"
"Yuna…It's okay." Rally reassured her, before facing the raven hair duelist in front of him. He then quickly drew a card. "I'm not gonna let this guy take advantage of you or your friend here!"
"NO!" Both Yusei and Yuna protested.
"I'll use Uru's ability to sacrifice one spider token and take control of your Turbo Booster from your side of the field!" Rally shouted as Uru took one of Yusei's monster. "Then I summon Turbo Rocket to the field and use it with Turbo Booster to Synchro Summon, Turbo Booser cannon!"
That was when the rocket like monster appeared on the field.
"No, don't!" Yusei shouted. "Don't do this Rally. There has to be another way!"
"I'm sorry, but I can't do that! Besides, this is my choice!" Rally shouted. " I activate Turbo Booster Cannon's effect, which will destroy any monster on the field and deal damage equal to the chose monster. I choose to destroy Earthbound Immortal Uru!"
A violent explosion rips through the area, knocking Yusei off of his feet and ending one of the Shadow Duels. Yuna, however, screamed Rally's named in agony and fell to her knees in shock.
"Hmph! That was also your payment of despair, Yuna." Crow said to the dark hair psychic. "And I'll make your life worse by sending your soul to hell like you did to mine! I release my two tokens and…After five thousand years of slumber in the flames, it is time for you to return and plunge this world into darkness! Advent, Earthbound Immortal Kurai Fenikkusu!"
The purple flames glow brighter, and above the center of the mark appears a giant, shell like device. It exploded, and a giant, black bird with hooked beak, feather like flames, and outlined in orange red all over its body, emerged out of the dark explosion, letting out a screech.
The dark hair girl didn't even look up and noticed the phoenix Earthbound Immortal in front of her. She only stared at the ground and trembled. Before Crow can commanded his Earthbound Immortal to attack her, a bright crimson light flashed, causing the phoenix to screeched and disappeared and the ginger to flinched and held his arm in the air to block the light.
"Gah! What the hell?!" He yelled. Suddenly, he lowered his arms and noticed that the purple flames he created for the shadow duel had disappeared, as well as the phoenix geoglyph in the sky. Across from him was a grey hair man, wearing an eye patch over his right eye, holding on to the unconscious form of Yuna in his arms, tears falling from her eyes and mumbling something that was too low for either them to hear.
"Eden…you…" Rudger glared at the grey hair man and tighten his fist. "You dare to interfere again?!"
"Sorry Rudger." Eden said, as he looked up at the leader of the Dark Signer. "But I'm afraid that this isn't the time for this battle yet. Remember when you agree to Rex's words? The real battle will take place in Satellite."
"Hmph." Rudger grunted. "Very well. We have a few more chosen ones to become Dark Signers. We will continue to settle things in Satellite, like he said." Then, he and the ginger Dark Signer vanished into the darkness.
I scratched my head in thought, wondering how weird this duel ended. "By the way, Kurai Fenikkusu seems new. Why did it appear in that world, instead of our world?"
"Oh, there's a Dark Signer for that Earthbound Immortal alright." Kyoko said. "It's just…well…that person didn't agree to become a Dark Signer and force the icy blue hair dude into a Shadow Duel and lose on purpose."
By the icy blue hair dude, I think she means Kiryu. "Do I know this person?"
"Maybe. Maybe not."
"Great." I muttered. "Anyway, continue."
As he carefully carried Yuna in his arms, Eden quickly ran up to Yusei, who was surrounded by the twins. "Yusei, can you stand?"
The raven only nodded silently. Then, he spoke again. "Eden, what did you just do earlier?"
"Don't worry. I only use part of my power to cancel this duel so that Yuna's life can be saved. But a fair warning to you and everyone else, I won't be able to do that again." He answered. "Also, we need to head back to your father's lab. We…we just receive a tragic news. One of the Star Guardian have died just a moment ago."
That got Yusei and the twins to look up in alarm. "Who?!"
Crystal, Akane, and Takuto ran around the park, which was surrounded by purple flames, and they were trying to find out where the Shadow Duel for the wolf Dark Signer is. Suddenly, Akane saw something at the corner of her eyes that caught her attention.
"Guys. Look!" She pointed her finger across the field, revealing the blonde Dark Signer dueling against the blue hair guardian.
"Hey! There's Aoi!" Takuto pointed out. "But who's that blonde chick with creepy eyes on the other side of the field?"
"No…That's Alexandra!" Crystal cried in recognition. "But…but as a Dark Signer?!"
"You just wasted your final turn, Akiyama!" Alex shouted. "Since I really don't need to use these two monsters anymore, I release Ritual Beast Ulti-Apelio and Ritual Beast Ulti-Pettlephin!" The two monsters on Alex's field turned to rainbow orbs of light and flew up, turning into the shell device, emitting dark auras. "Souls of the living dead, let your cries of sorrow be heard through the darkness. Arise, Earthbound Immortal Yoru no Okami!"
The device exploded, revealing a giant, shadow wolf online in white. It flashed its white eyes and let out a howl.
"Scared, Aoi? Because this card will be your downfall!" Alex smirked. "Yoru no Okami has the ability to attack you directly. Plus, it's immune to spells and trap card!"
"Dammit!" Aoi cursed.
"Earthbound Immortal Yoru no Okami, make him experience my hell!" Alex demanded. On cue, the giant wolf opened its mouth and shot out black electricity to the blue hair psychic. Aoi knew that his defeat was coming, and there was nothing he can do to prevent it. So, he closed his eyes and wait for the attack to come right at him.
The light flashed and vanished quickly. All of a sudden, Alex and the purple flames disappeared, along with the wolf Earthbound Immortal. But what surprised him was that the attack didn't come to him. He didn't feel pain, yet he expected too. He opened his eyes, looked up, and saw why. Much to his shock, Crystal was the one who took the attack from him.
The purple hair duelist fell backwards to the ground, only to be caught in Aoi's arm before to prevent that. Then, crimson lights began to glow around her body.
"No…" Aoi stammered in shock as he cradled the poor girl's body in his arm and stared at the wound above her chest. "No this can't be…! Crystal…Crystal don't die!"
Crystal slowly opened her eyes as she turned to the blue hair psychic and smiled sadly at him. "I…I'm sorry…Aoi." Then, she started coughing violently, blood spewing from her mouth.
Aoi shook his head. "No…what are you saying? I'm the one who should be the one to apologize because…" He bit his lips bitterly before continuing on. "Look. There's still time. We need to…"
Crystal weakly, yet immediately stopped him by putting a finger over his lips, shaking her head. She smiled at him, sadly. "…Goodbye, Aoi."
Then, she closed her eyes and falls limps into his arm, accepting her death. Then, her body started to glow brightly again before shattering into shards of crimson light.
Aoi trembled violently, and began to sobbed as he tried to grabbed the remain lights that was left of her. After a few seconds or so, he slammed his fists on the ground and screamed in agony.
Me: And that's that.
Crystal: *jaws drop wide opened*
Me: Yeah. The ending was bad. Especially for you, Crystal.
Crystal:...
Me: Crystal?
Crystal:...
Me: Crap. I just traumatized my oc!
Aqua: Piplup!
Me: Yes, I know that Aqua. *sigh* Yet. I also hate writing this death scene because it reminds me of the one from that anime.
Aqua: Piplup Pip?
Me: Yes...Yes that's the one. Anyway readers, hope you enjoy that, even though that last part was...meh. R&R?
