Chapter 20.1 Xover: A Newcomer — Fukato

(Opening Theme: Believe in Magic by Ryoga from Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains ED 1)

-5 second into music intro-

Six stars blink away like a meteor shower as they head towards Kuroki as he stands on his dorm rooftop watching the night sky.

-Guitar picks up-

Six figures with 4 male silhouettes and a dog and duck silhouette form in the night sky.

-Odore! Sono kakato de uchinarase-

Kuroki looks at a boy standing next to Sora as they both wave at him.

-Sakebe! YOU GOTTA GO koe hariage-

In Kuroki's eyes, it shows Itou and Portman in the nurse's room in a coma.

-Utae! Sonzai o saa tokihanate-

Maya and Ryuta stand by Kuroki's side, both distraught.

-GET AWAY! Kakageta genkai koeru made-

As Sora and the other boy approach, 4 others, 2 boys, Donald and Goofy, jump in the way forming a group huddle leaving Kuroki, Maya, and Ryuta slightly confused.

-2 seconds of music-

Yutaro rises from an empty white abyss, which the other half he rises into is darkness. He holds a lavender flower in his hand.

-Nandodemo TRY IT!-

Scene changes abruptly with a boy backing up Kuroki as he Duels both Itou and Portman teeming with darkness.

-Hateshinaku hirogatte yuku sekai no naka de-

A void opens up as they both fall in it with Yutaro inside. As Kuroki struggles, the boy summons a Keyblade and light shines from it dispelling the darkness.

-Kagirinaku tsunagatte yuku TIMELINE no nagare-

Yutaro, with his hood off, glares at them, holding a card within his hand which is his ace monster "Nanophile Remnant".

-Tashika na koto nado nai-

Asper looks up, standing next to Nyxon as he looks the opposite way down at his Deck.

-Kono kodoku na jidai-

Yutaro is standing next to the bedridden Portman, placing a candle down on the end table and sits down watching his father.

-Mayowazu SET YOURSELF FREE-

Kuroki and friends sit around a table conversing and eating food made by Ryuta as Ryuta sets down some more food.

-CAUSE WE STILL BELIEVE IN MAGIC-

Yutaro sits outside, looking on inside, his eyes seemingly depressed.

-Bokura ga nokosu kiseki x2-

Vance is standing in the middle of a schoolyard with Kishiki, Principal Addams, Dr. Esmeralda, Kara, and Silas who are all cheering on.

-Bokura ga okosu kiseki o-

The boy runs in front of Kuroki in the school courtyard as he flicks his "Sora the Keyblade Bearer" to Kuroki.

-NEVER GIVE UP NEVER!-

Sora appears behind him giving him a small push as a Duel Spirit causing Kuroki to stumble forward a bit, then he smiles as he stares at the sunset which shadows the boy's face

-Akiramenai sa NEVER GIVE UP NEVER!-

It ends with Kuroki running towards the boy with the rest of his friends running after, excluding Itou and Portman.

Kuroki sat up in his bed the next morning, feeling groggy and disoriented from his lack of sleep once again. Feeling his limbs sore and stiff, he stretched and yawned, looking over to where Ryuta slept. Of course, Ryuta on the other hand was sleeping wonderfully and peacefully. As many of the nights he had tried sleeping, he had another nightmare of his father. He shook off the grogginess and headache he felt and walked over to his bathroom. He wondered if taking a stroll again could clear his mind.

After dowsing himself in more warm water, Kuroki walked out with wearing a short sleeved gray jacket with the zippers undone and a striped shirt of red and black. He let himself out of his dorm room with khaki shorts and red strap sandals.

Walking along the beach wondering how the sunrise looked so beautiful and tranquil reflecting on the sparkling blue waters had Kuroki befuddled. He could've sworn the last time he had seen this, it only reminded him of waking up in the hospital bed only to find out that his father had died. It used to be an unsightly scene to him only filled with his cries of agony. But since the talk with Nyxon, he had grown calmer about the entire ordeal.

Kuroki sat next to a large boulder against the cliffs watching the sunrise come.

Meanwhile, above the skies in space, a boy with light orange eyes that had roughly blended with his sandy blonde hair, which was slightly messy and swept to the side, while the back of his hair reached down to his shoulders, was freaking inside a blocky ship of orange mess. He tugged at his dark gray shirt as he adjusted his open navy blue and black zip-up short sleeved jacket while piloting the ship. His slim figure almost struggled to move the spaceship away from another asteroid in the blue space. Afterwards, someone else bumped into him laughing as he took control over the orange eyed boy.

"Hey! Sen!" The orange boy cried as he swept his hand across his khaki shorts and fixed his black socks he wore under his dark gray sneakers. The other boy, Sen, with teal eyes and dark blue hair wearing a simple t-shirt and gray shorts with white socks and black shoes, shrugged. Another male came into the cockpit wearing a blue v-neck with a black sleeveless jacket and black jeans that were somewhat tight on him.

"Oi, stop messing around and put the Gummi Ship on auto-pilot, Sen, Fukato," the intruding boy said. "Breakfast is ready."

"Ugh, okay Yuuta," Fukato replied, exhausted. As Fukato left Sen to set the Gummi Ship on auto-pilot, he entered the small kitchen seeing his favorite video game character making some pancakes. "Wow, Sora, that smells great! What'd you add in this time?"

Sora, the spiky brown haired male, turned around to face Fukato. "This time it's cranberry."

"Oh?" Yuuta paused for a moment as he cut into his own share. He took a bite and felt the juices of the berry gushing sweetness that enhanced the pancakes overall mild flavor. Yuuta liked it a lot.

Fukato stood by the counter watching Sora make more batches as he had a plate of pancakes in hand eating. "Always delicious!" Sora managed to suppress a chuckle.

Soon, a duck and a dog came into the room. "Morning, Donald, Goofy!" Fukato waved over at them in the small kitchen and dining room.

"Good morning, Fukato, Sora, Yuuta," Goofy gave his signature laugh and toothy grin. He never failed to make the others smile in return.

Sen rushed inside the room freaked out, pushing Donald out of the way in the process. He was sweating and shaking. Fukato stared at him wondering what got him so riled up.

"T-there's…!" Sen was stuttering as he pointed the direction of the cockpit. Fukato eyed Sen carefully and swiftly moved into the cockpit with the rest following behind. Once they all reached there, they all saw a large gaping wormhole filled with light.

"What?!" Fukato's jaw ran agape as he sat himself down in the front chair messing with the controls.

"Ah! Get us out of here!" Sora yelled, holding his head scared. Donald's eyes went wide and was squabbling nonsense while Yuuta and Goofy attempted to help by going into the other two open seats and trying to turn the Gummi Ship around. However, it was too late and the wormhole warped them inside.

Fukato couldn't remember what had happened after that as his vision went blank.

As the sun rose on the beach, Kuroki's eyes fluttered open. He had taken a small nap to remedy his sleep deprivation. He looked up at the half-lit sky, seeing six stars blinking brightly, each a different color of the rainbow. Kuroki turned to his right seeing six washed up persons laying on the beach, six with two being a dog and a duck. One other being his one favorite card he had in his Deck.

Kuroki screamed, waking them up. "W-wha! I'm dreaming… I'm dreaming aren't I?!" From within himself, his Duel Spirit Sora appeared in front of him.

"Whoa! Why am I there?!" Spirit Sora asked. "How-?"

"I dunno!" Kuroki witness them getting up from the ground and then looking around. One of them looked around and locked his orange eyes onto Kuroki.

"Ungh… where are we?" The mysterious boy asked, approaching Kuroki as he rubbed his head in pain. "Uh… my name is… Fukato Arakawa if that helps you get comfortable."

It made Kuroki even more uncomfortable as he was unprepared to see his video game in the flesh. The words rang in his head.

Despite being able to make dreams become real, so far he's only been able to pull either the strongest desires, memories, and figures out of people. Kuroki thought for a moment. Could it be Yutaro's doing? But then, who are these three? He looked at the boy in front of him, Fukato, and the two others who weren't Sora, Donald, and Goofy. It was odd seeing them in front of him, but the other three was throwing him off.

"Hello? Do you know where we are?" Fukato asked, half pouting as his friends approached the confused boy. He finally felt a weight tugging on his left arm. He looked down seeing what it was. A Duel Disk. "Eh?" It had a similar color scheme of the Kingdom Key, gold on the rims and silver on the main palette with the strap or the bangle section being black.

Kuroki stared him down. "You're at Star Dueling Academy. Now who are you?"

"I-I told you, I'm Fukato Arakawa!" Fukato stepped back a bit as Kuroki drew closer to him.

"Uh huh, and who are those two?" Kuroki inquired as he pointed at Fukato's two friends who were nearing.

"That's…"

"Yuuta Kamiya."

"Sen Ikutsuki." They both answered, interrupting Fukato mid-sentence.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy walked up to Kuroki, stepping behind Fukato and in front of Yuuta and Sen, feeling the soft sand underneath their shoes, or in the other two cases, flippers and elongated boots.

"Uh, I'm Sora, he's Donald, and that's Goofy," Sora announced his presence.

Kuroki nodded and then shook his head out of his thoughts. "I know." He muttered, catching Fukato off-guard.

"You know?" Fukato asked.

"Ugh," Kuroki moved past the group and started walking away, seemingly annoyed and confused. "Yes I do." He turned and started backing away. "So what? Who are you?"

"We told you already," Fukato scratched his temple.

"Oh really? Well, we'll truly know in a Duel!" Kuroki exclaimed. "A Duel let's out the Duelist's true emotions. You have a Duel Disk too, so you do know how to use it right?!"

"Eh, well…" Fukato fumbled with the Duel Disk in hand. The rest looked over his shoulders wondrously. "Uh…" He tapped the button near the globe of the Duel Disk (which was in a shape of Mickey's ears) and the Duel Disk opened up. He then felt around his belt, seeing that he was oddly even wearing one, and opened a box on the right side of his waist taking out the Deck.

I want to see if this is the real deal. Perhaps if I duel him, I can find out more about him. Kuroki thought to himself.

How did I get caught up in a Duel!? I haven't played Yu-Gi-Oh! in a few months! Let's hope I'm not rusty. Fukato turned the top card of his Deck seeing what he could be playing. Eh?! K-Keyblades?! He swiftly eyed the card seeing it was a portrait of Sora holding the Kingdom Key in hand. And I guess the rules of this world doesn't permit me of summoning my Keyblade. Fukato thrusted his right hand around seeing if his Keyblade would appear, but it didn't. He inserted the "Keyblade" Deck inside and started the Duel.

"I'm not going to take it easy on you," Kuroki glared Fukato down.

"Uh… please do?!" Fukato yelped. Why a Duel of all things?!

Yuuta and Sen sighed knowing now what this world truly was. "Good luck, Fukato." They both mockingly laughed. He glared daggers back at them which they turned away from and ignored. Fukato gritted his teeth. Whatever! At least I'm not in some Shadow Game.

"Okay!"

"Hmph…" Kuroki started his Duel Disk. "Let's…"

"Duel!" They both announced.

Kuroki vs Fukato

LP: 4000

Rules: Master Rule 4

"Eh?!" Kuroki stared down at his Duel Disk, lightly tapping the screen that popped out. "Did you?! What?! Why is it Master Rule 4?!"

Fukato groaned. He remembered that he innately hated Links because of how generic and powerful they were. "I don't know…" The field glowed with the two Extra Monsters Zones shining red with the rest being blue. The Pendulum Zones were absent.

"Tch! You go first then," Kuroki demanded as he drew his 5 cards.

(OST: Rival's Onslaught from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX -unofficial soundtrack-)

Fukato nodded. "Yeah." He also drew his starting hand. He looked around and saw a useful Spell Card to activate. "I pay half my LP to activate…" (Fukato's LP: 4000 → 2000)

"To activate?" Yuuta questioned.

"The Spell Card, 'Heart of Light'," Fukato finished. Kuroki's jaw dropped seeing the card played. "With it-"

"You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower 'Keyblade' monster from your Deck. Yes! BUT! How did you get that card?!" Kuroki screamed with all his might.

Fukato paused and reflected for a moment. "Uh… I remember just waking up with this?" He shrugged.

"That's… that's a load of bullshit!" Kuroki shakingly pointed at Fukato, his eyes trembling.

"Ahem," Sen cleared his throat as to break the tension. "Continue the Duel?"

"Right," Fukato answered. "I Special Summon the Level 4 'Sora the Keyblade Bearer' from my Deck. (LIGHT/Warrior/1800/1500/Tuner) With him Special Summoned, I can add 1 'Keyblade' monster from my Deck to my hand. I add 'Donald the Keyblade Master Wizard'. (LIGHT/Spellcaster/Level 4/1300/1100)"

Sora approached Fukato from behind. "Hey, isn't that me? Or is that how this world works?"

"I guess it's how this world works," Fukato chuckled.

"Well that's weird! Is that why we can't use our weapons?!" Donald pointed out.

"Probably!" Goofy answered.

"Eh, finish this really quick Fukato. We got to go find ourselves our Gummi Ship!" Sen yelled out to Fukato. He sighed in compliance.

"I'll try," Fukato mumbled, looking through his cards.

"Will you hurry up?" Kuroki pouted.

"Yeah yeah! I Normal Summon the added 'Donald' and use his effect upon Normal Summon to add 'Drive Form' from my Deck to my hand. Then I activate it allowing me to Summon 1 'Drive Form' monster from my Extra Deck. I use 'Sora' and 'Donald' on my field and the 'Goofy' (LIGHT/Warrior/Level 4/1500/1900) in my hand as the materials." Fukato then paused once again.

(OST ends)

"What is it this time?" Kuroki crossed his arms irritated.

"Uh, what's happening?" Sora asked Yuuta.

Yuuta snapped his fingers figuring out what Fukato was going to do. "He's gonna do a Summoning chant! That's right!"

Sen completely lost his composure and cackled. "Oh my god, is he really?!"

Fukato, flustered at this point, glared back at Sen again. He quieted down and mumbled a few apologies.

"Agh!" Fukato held his head and closed his eyes in frustration. Then his mind finally cranked out a Summoning chant. "With the balance of magic and strength at your hands, unleash your fury and dispel the tainted darkness that comes forth! Drive Xyz Summon! Rank 4, 'Drive Form - Sora the Keyblade of Mastery'. (LIGHT/Warrior/2700/2600)" Sora glowed yellow and yellow sparks emitted from every section of his body. He had two Keyblades in hand, one spinning on his left hand, the Follow the Wind, as his other was being held in his right, the Kingdom Key.

"What?! Xyz Summon?!" Kuroki looked at his hand. It seemed like it would be trouble to get through.

"Yes! However, due to his effect, when he is Xyz Summoned, I must send cards from the top of my Deck to the GY equal to the number of monsters used for his Summon. I send 3." Fukato declared as he saw the 3 cards sent. They were 'Drive Revert', 'Once More', and 'Second Chance'. He then Set 2 cards. "I think I'll end my turn with this."

Turn 2

(OST: Duel Target LOCK ON! From Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal)

"Draw!" Kuroki inspected his hand. He knew it would be weird, but he had to anyways. "I pay half my LP to activate…"

"To activate?" Yuuta once again questioned.

"Oh god…" Kuroki slumped down as he inserted his card in. "Spell Card, 'Heart of Light'. Yadi yada. You know what it does." (Kuroki's LP: 4000 → 2000)

"Oh, so they're playing the same Deck," Yuuta commented, nodding as he was more interested in this.

"So who's winning?" Sora asked.

"No one yet," Sen replied.

Sora pouted in disappointment that Fukato wasn't at least on the winning side. "Well that sucks."

"We'll have to see it all play out first," Fukato smiled.

"Agh! I Special Summon 'Sora' from my Deck and you already know what he does so I don't care about explaining it!" Kuroki exclaimed. "I add 'Donald' and Normal Summon him too."

"Yes and you'll activate his effect to add a 'Drive' Spell from your Deck, but I activate the effect of 'Drive Form - Sora the Keyblade of Mastery'. I detach any number of materials from him, this being 2, and target that many cards on the field and banish them." Fukato explained nonchalantly. He was amazed that he was even able to even know how the Deck functioned. It also seemed that the Deck originally belonged to the person across from him, Kuroki.

Kuroki snapped his tongue and pulled a card from his hand in retaliation. "Not if I can help it! I activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Reaction Command: Auto-Drive', letting me Summon 1 'Drive Form' monster from my Extra Deck by banishing the materials required from my hand, field, and/or GY!" Kuroki showed the 'Sora' and 'Donald' on his field and they vanished from his hand. "With Sora as the catalyst and Goofy as the power, he can reach a new hope that marks the midpoint of the journey! Drive Synchro Summon! Level 8, 'Drive Form - Sora the Keyblade of Limits'! (LIGHT/Warrior/3000/2100)"

Fukato hummed as he brightly watched Kuroki's own Sora jump down from the sky in his Kingdom Hearts 1 palette on his Kingdom Hearts 2 attire. He unconsciously clapped. "Oh crap! My targets are lost so 'Mastery Sora' resolves without effect."

"And that's not all, I also add 'Drive Revert' from my Deck to my hand," Kuroki finished. "Then, 'Limit Sora's' effect allows me to shuffle up to 3 of my banished 'Keyblade' monsters into my Deck." Kuroki held out his hand as his two cards materialized and immediately disappeared again but this time into the Deck.

"Okay?" Fukato cocked his head anticipating Kuroki's next move.

"Now I send the added 'Drive Revert' from my hand to the GY to activate the Spell Card 'High Drive', which allows me to draw 2 cards," Kuroki added on. "Battle!"

"Here it comes!" Yuuta yelled out.

"I attack 'Mastery Sora' with my 'Limit Sora'! Zan… tetsuken!" Kuroki's Sora slashed through Fukato's own Sora and like a flash of light, Fukato's Sora disappeared into darkness. (Fukato's LP: 2000 → 1700)

(OST ends)

"Tch, I use 'Mastery Sora's' effect allowing me to add 1 'Keyblade' monster from my GY to my hand once he is sent from the field to the GY. I also chain the Trap, 'Auto-Life', allowing me to revive a destroyed monster to its owner's field. Come back, 'Drive Form - Sora the Keyblade of Mastery'!" Fukato rose his hand calling his monster's return. As his chain resolved, he added '"Sora the Keyblade Bearer" from his GY and brought back his Xyz Monster.

"Okay… seems I got nowhere. I'll Set 3 cards face-down and end my turn," Kuroki grumbled.

"Wait! At the end of your turn, I discard 1 card to activate my Set Quick-Play Spell, 'Twin Twister'. I target 2 Spell or Traps you control and destroy them!" Fukato declared. He pointed at the two leftmost that he saw of the 3 Set Spells and Traps.

"Tch," was all Kuroki could spout as wind blew through his 2 Set cards.

Turn 3

"Alright, my turn," Fukato drew his card to start. "I'll Normal Summon 'Sora' and activate his effect."

(OST: Asuka's Theme from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX OST)

I'll wait for the right timing to stop him. After all, he still has a card in his hand and I can't tell what it is. Kuroki thought to himself as he eyed his face-down card. I have "Solemn Judgment". Just wait… just wait.

"I Special Summon 'Donald' from my GY. And since he is Special Summoned, I can send 1 Spell Card from my Deck to the GY," Fukato explained as he revealed 'Drive Revert' from his Deck and placed it into the GY section of his Duel Disk. "And then I also activate the GY effect of the sent 'Drive Revert' which lets me banish itself to add 1 'Drive' Spell Card from my GY to my hand. I'll take 'Drive Form' and activate it!"

Now! "I pay half my LP and activate the Counter Trap 'Solemn Judgment'," Kuroki declared. (Kuroki's LP: 2000 → 1000) "I negate the activation of your Spell Card and destroy it."

"Eh? That's just rude!" Fukato pouted as he stared at his only card left in hand, almost disappointed as he saw it.

"Wow, he got you good!" Sen laughed, holding his stomach.

Sora stared at Sen laughing and was morbidly disgusted how much the three could laugh at each other, insult each other, and still be friends towards one another. "Oh shut it!" Fukato retorted.

"I closed off your option to get out your 'Drive Form' monsters. What will you do?" Kuroki pondered carefully watching Fukato's every move.

"Here's what I'll do. I'll activate the Equip Spell 'United We Stand' on 'Mastery Sora'. With it, he gains 800 ATK and DEF for each monster I control. There are 3, so that's a 2400 ATK and DEF boost! (Mastery Sora's ATK: 2700 → 5100) Battle!"

"Tch, okay…" Kuroki mumbled.

"'Mastery Sora', attack 'Limit Sora'!" Fukato firmly commanded.

Kuroki slid a card in his hand into his GY. "At this moment, I discard 'Keyblade's Summon - Mushu' (FIRE/Dragon/Level 2/1000/300) to activate his effect. For each monster you control, all of them lose 300 ATK and one of mine gains the amount lost."

"So I control 3 and that's-"

"900 total!" Kuroki smirked as his ears perked up a bit. (Donald's ATK: 1300 → 400, Sora's ATK: 1800 → 900, Mastery Sora's ATK: 5100 → 4200, Limit Sora's ATK: 3000 → 3900)

"However, your monster still has lesser ATK. So you'll still lose this battle." Limit Sora tried to fend off the incoming aerial attack sweep from the other Sora (Master Form) but the attack was too strong and Sora (Master Form) pierced his way through, resulting in Limit Sora losing. (Kuroki's LP: 1000 → 700) "Time for the finisher! All out attack!" Fukato's 'Sora' and 'Donald' rushed in.

"Not on my watch! I activate the GY effect of 'Mushu' which lets me halve all battle damage from direct attacks this turn by banishing himself. Guardian Flames!" A sphere of fire enveloped Kuroki making Fukato's monsters' attacks weaker. (Kuroki's LP: 700 → 250 → 50)

(OST ends)

"Wow, he's crazy good," Yuuta said as he winked at Sen. Sen bursted out into another laughing fit.

"S-stop!" Sen was choking on air as he kept laughing, unable to take the Duel seriously. "Please! This is like very stupid!" Sora could feel his sweat dropping from his face as he looked at Sen both worried and slightly bewildered by the sudden laughing fits he was having. "This… this is just! Ahahaha!"

"Oh my god, just shut up Sen," Yuuta sighed.

"Yes, please?" Sora and Fukato asked in unison as politely as possible.

"O-okay! No more!" Sen cleared his throat and tried his best to keep himself composed. Kuroki was weirded out in shock.

"Ugh… I banish 'Auto-Life' from my GY and 2 other monsters, 1 in each of our GY," Fukato asserted as he grabbed his 'Goofy' alongside the Trap he banished. "I choose your 'Limit Sora' and banish them all and then gain LP equal to the total ATK of the monsters banished by this. 1500 and 3000 makes up to 4500. Quite a lot don't you think?" Fukato smiled. (Fukato's LP: 1700 → 6200)

"Wow… just wow," Kuroki muttered in awe at the increase in LP.

"With this, I'll end my turn. Furthermore, the ATK values of my monsters return to normal, or in the case of 'Mastery Sora', back to 5100." (Sora's ATK: 900 → 1800, Donald's ATK: 400 → 1300, Mastery Sora's ATK: 4200 → 5100)

Turn 4

"Draw!" Kuroki began. "I activate the GY effect of 'Heart of Light', which I had activated on my turn before. I pay half my LP again to add 1 'Drive' card from my Deck to my hand." A card in his Deck pulled itself out and he grabbed it, revealing 'Desperate Drive'. (Kuroki's LP: 50 → 25)

"Huh?" Fukato peered at the card Kuroki just added to his hand. "Uh wha?"

"Hmph, you'll find out as soon as now," Kuroki chuckled almost evilly.

(OST: Worthy Rival from Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal OST)

"Uh no?! You can't just-"

"But I will! I'll discard 1 card to activate it right now even!" Kuroki exclaimed excitedly as he played 'Desperate Drive'. "Now, I send the materials required for a 'Drive Form' monster from my Deck to the GY and Summon it!" Kuroki revealed 'Sora' and 'Goofy' from his Deck and sent them to the GY and then pulled out a card from his Extra Deck slot of his Duel Disk. "With the heart of bravery you can soar through the sky, pulling through with your friends with your strength and might! Drive Fusion Summon! Level 7, 'Drive Form - Sora the Keyblade of Valor'! (LIGHT/Warrior/2500/1900/Fusion) And by discarding 1 card and banishing the top 2 cards of my Deck, I can destroy 1 other monster on the field and inflict damage to you equal to its current ATK on the field. But 'Valor Sora' cannot attack this turn."

"Whoa, hey now! That's just a little too mean!" Fukato cried.

"So what? I can do it because I can! Destroy his 'Mastery Sora'!" Kuroki demanded as Valor Sora swiftly leapt through the air with the Kingdom Key and the Star Seeker in hand demolishing 'Mastery Sora' with a ground impact attack. "Brave Shot!" Red shockwaves rose from the ground throwing 'Mastery Sora' into the air. With a cloud of smoke, only 'Valor Sora' remained between the two. (Fukato's LP: 6200 → 1100)

(OST end)

"My destroyed monster's effect activates letting me return him to my Extra Deck," Fukato bit his lips, seeing that he was losing the advantage in the Duel.

"I can't watch!" Goofy yelped as he covered his eyes. "It's too ruthless!"

"Gah! What do you mean Goofy? We don't know what that Kuroki person is capable of! If anything, we gotta root for Fukato to win so we can survive… I think," Donald slung his arm back over his shoulder wondering if he was correct.

"Even so!" Goofy used his hat to shield his eyes.

(OST: An Exciting Duel from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX)

"Now, I activate the Quick-Play Spell, 'Drive Revert' on 'Valor Sora', essentially letting me defuse him into his materials. And since 'Sora' is Special Summoned, I add 'Donald' from my Deck to my hand and Normal Summon him!"

"Uh oh, here it comes… again!" Yuuta clenched his teeth seeing the amount of cards that were basically being replayed over and over had frustrated him. It was making him livid that they even had to use the same Decks too.

"I add 'Drive Form' and then use it also to fuse my 'Sora' and my 'Donald' for 'Drive Form - Sora the Keyblade of Mastery'. (LIGHT/Warrior/Level 6/2100/1400/Fusion) Battle!"

"Come at me!" Fukato used his Duel Disk to defend himself.

"I'll have you know, since 'Keyblade's Partner - Auron' was banished by 'Valor Sora's' effect, this turn, if you take any battle damage involving a 'Keyblade' monster I control, you take 300 more damage."

"Oi oi!" Sen's eyes were fully attentive to the Duel instead of laughing. "Wouldn't that add up to exactly Fukato's LP?"

"You're right," Yuuta agreed, nodding. "If he just attacks using his 'Wisdom Sora' towards 'Fukato's' Sora, that will result in 600 damage, leaving him at 500 LP left. Then all he has to do is use Goofy to attack Fukato's lone 'Donald' and win the Duel, since that'll deal 200 damage and another 300 from 'Auron'. And even if Fukato survives, that 'Wisdom Sora' has an effect that let's him negate the activation of a Spell/Trap once per turn."

"That's a really nasty card… just like 'Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En'!" Sen grinned. Yuuta rolled his eyes.

"More like 'Apoqliphort Towers'," Yuuta murmured.

"Go!" Both 'Wisdom Sora' and 'Goofy' attacked just as Yuuta had mentioned. 'Wisdom Sora' shot a blue ball of magic at Fukato's 'Sora' which ended in an explosion. (Fukato's LP: 1100 → 800 → 500) Then 'Goofy' used his shield to wack Fukato's 'Donald' on the head, making him disappear into shards of light. (Fukato's LP: 500 → 300)

"At this very moment, I activate the effect of the Quick-Play Spell I had sent much earlier during this Duel, 'Once More'!" Fukato yelled with all his might. With a bright flash of light from his GY, his LP remained at 100. (Fukato's LP: 300 → 100) "If I already took damage this turn and I would take damage that would reduce my LP to 0, I can negate that damage and make my LP become 100 instead! Furthermore, I take no damage for the rest of this turn!"

"What?!" Kuroki stood in awe. "Fine… I'll end my turn."

(OST end)

Turn 5

"This is the final turn, Kuroki," Fukato smiled confidently.

"How do you know that?" Kuroki asked nervously, feeling the same way.

"We both do, haha. Draw!" Fukato looked at his remaining card. "I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card 'Reaction Command: Auto-Drive'!"

"As if, I'll negate it with 'Wisdom Sora's' effect. Magic Haste!" The Spell erupted into flames and vanished.

"Then I'll activate the GY effect of 'Heart of Light' in my GY too," Fukato grinned as Kuroki gasped. (Fukato's LP: 100 → 50) "I add 'Unlimited Drive' from my Deck to my hand. Then I also activate the GY effect of 'Drive Revert' in my GY."

(OST: Judai's Theme from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX)

"Wait, what? Another one? Since when did you…" Kuroki was freaking out until he remembered the very first turn.

"Agh!" Fukato held his head and closed his eyes in frustration. Then his mind finally cranked out a Summoning chant. "With the balance of magic and strength at your hands, unleash your fury and dispel the tainted darkness that comes forth! Drive Xyz Summon! Rank 4, 'Drive Form - Sora the Keyblade of Mastery'. (LIGHT/Warrior/2700/2600)" Sora glowed yellow and yellow sparks emitted from every section of his body. He had two Keyblades in hand, one spinning on his left hand, the Follow the Wind, as his other was being held in his right, the Kingdom Key.

"What?! Xyz Summon?!" Kuroki looked at his hand. It seemed like it would be trouble to get through.

"Yes! However, due to his effect, when he is Xyz Summoned, I must send cards from the top of my Deck to the GY equal to the number of monsters used for his Summon. I send 3." Fukato declared as he saw the 3 cards sent. They were 'Drive Revert', 'Once More', and 'Second Chance'."

"It was at that time…" Kuroki bit his tongue thinking about it.

"Alongside paying my LP to activate 'Ultimate Drive', I'll also add 'Reaction Command: Auto-Drive' from my GY and then activate it also! (Fukato's LP: 50 → 25) With 'Ultimate Drive', the next time I Summon a 'Drive Form' monster, I can use monsters on either player's field and GY as the materials!" Fukato formed light in his hand as he did another Drive Summon from the Extra Deck.

"Agh, no way!" Kuroki's 'Goofy' transformed into a glowing yellow Xyz Material as Fukato's 'Sora' and 'Donald' in his GY turned the same as they attached themselves onto 'Mastery Sora'. "Battle!"

"Ah! Shit!" Kuroki cursed.

"Master Strike!" Fukato chanted. 'Mastery Sora' deftly jumped through the air and formed an X with his Keyblades in tow, finishing off 'Wisdom Sora'. As everything faded away, Kuroki slumped down exhausted.

"How could I…" He whimpered. (Kuroki's LP: 25 → 0)

Result: Fukato wins!

"You okay?" Fukato stepped to Kuroki, kneeling down to offer some help.

However, feeling an ominous presence, Fukato turned to the cliffs seeing a man cloaked in white. Kuroki saw him turn and did the same. "Yutaro?!" He screamed tiredly.

"No, that's…" Fukato growled as he held his hands as fists in front of him. His other friends stepped up beside him.

"That's First! From the Apostles of Light!" Sora finished seeing the roman numeral one on his shoulders. "What's he doing here?

First walked away into the dark forest. But it wasn't as if Fukato could follow since the cliff was high. He wasn't adept in jumping that high yet.

"Who's… that?" Kuroki breathed out before knocking out. I feel as if I should… recognize that person. His vision faded to black as the calls from Fukato and the others were drowning out.

(Ending Theme: Masayume Chasing from Fairy Tail OP 15 by BOA)

-6 seconds of music-

Kuroki is standing on the rooftop of Star Dueling Academy, watching a few birds fly by with friends: Itou, Maya, Ryuta, Vance, and Kintaro.

-Oh whoa ohhh, yeah~!-

The scene pans down to Kuroki's eyes, revealing Fukato and Sora in each eye.

-Yume wo otte mayoikonda kokoro no mori no oku-

With another bird flying across the scene, it switches to a small child version of Kuroki chasing after his father who walks on before he fades away and switches to Gungnir, resulting in Kuroki's child self transforming into his current self.

-Kagami yori sunda izumi utsuru yuganda SMILE-

Fukato glares at a mirror seeing First on the other side, standing behind him.

-Koboreta namida wa (DON'T CRY)-

Rain pours down on Gungnir as he lets out a tear from his dark blue eyes while under his white cloak.

-Kin demo gin demo nakute-

Kuroki appears behind Gungnir and reaches out towards nothing holding a broken glass shard.

-Arifureta namida (FALL FROM MY EYES) megami mo kizukanai-

Maya hovers over Itou's sleeping body and cries while Ryuta is comforting her.

-Masayume CHASING CHASING koero motto-

Scene switches with a blinding light as Kuroki is holding his Duel Disk back to back against Gungnir with Fukato assisting

-Jibun shijou saikou no-

Then it switches to Yuuta and Sen chasing after First with Sora, Donald and Goofy fighting off Heartless that is surrounding them with Asper.

-Ima wo CHASING CHASING sou egaita-

Scene shows Asper reaching out to Nyxon who is walking away with Asper in tears.

-Jibun ni natte moyase mune no hi wo (na na na na na na na oh!)-

Silas and Kishiki survey the island from a boat with hordes of Emissary of Dreams heading there alongside airborne Soldier Heartless.

-Na na na na na hey hey-

A picture of Asper and Nyxon happy lays on a table ripped in half, separating the two. Then it floats away with a wind passing.

-Na na na na na na na Oh-

Next picture reveals Itou standing shyly behind Kuroki who is smiling, the picture in one piece.

-Kakenukero HERO-

Next picture shows Kuroki hugging his father and his mother but a sakura leaf covers his father's face, and some parts of the picture is wet.

-Na na na na na na na Oh-

The next picture shows a young Yutaro holding Portman's hand with a hint of a grin.

-Na na na na na hey hey-

The next picture shows Maya sitting down on a chair with her father and mother standing nobly next to her, as her face is filled with boredom.

-Na na na na na na na Oh-

Last picture shows Kuroki, Ryuta, and Maya enjoying some fun time with Fukato and his friends, like eating dinner and playing volleyball at the beachside.

-Moyase mune no hi wo-

As the last picture fades away, Kuroki gets up from the ground to meet Gungnir who is standing atop of Star Dueling Academy now.

-Rest of the music-

Ends with Kuroki and Fukato standing back to back, facing against their nemesis, Yutaro and First.
