Chapter 25: The Forgotten World! Welcome to Crashlands!
Yuya snatched at whatever he could find. His hands caught a steel girder, and he pulled himself up with it, leaning on it. "Well, you're dealing with this better than most newbies do," Yuke observed.
"It's not the first time I've crossed dimensions," Yuya nodded as he looked around. He seemed to be standing halfway up a mountain of debris and junk. Several others surrounded it.
"Dimensions?" Yuke frowned, before his eyes widened. "So, you're like a different dimension counterpart to me or something?"
Yuya opened his mouth to respond, but paused. "Well," he started, thinking it through. "I've never heard the situation described that way before, but yeah, I guess so,"
"Cool," the blue-haired boy breathed. "Which dimension are we in?" Yuya frowned. "Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Standard?"
Yuke paused in confusion. "What are you talking about?"
"What kind of Extra Deck Summon method do people around here use? Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or all three?" Yuya paraphrased.
His counterpart cocked his head. "Extra Deck Summon?"
"Don't bother," a voice interrupted them. The green-haired boy looked up in surprise. "Shun?" he recognised his friend.
"I don't know what or where this place is, but it isn't in any of the four dimensions," Shun explained. "No one's ever heard of Fusion, Synchro or Xyz here. Instead, everyone uses Ritual Summon," he explained.
Yuya blinked, recalling his Duel with the fortune teller, Mieru, in Standard City. That short psychic was the only person he had ever met capable of Ritual Summon. As far as he knew, it needed a Spell, like Fusion, but the Summoned monster had to be in the hand, not the Extra Deck, and usually didn't mind what was used as Material. "Ritual?"
"Yeah. It's really awesome," Yuke grinned. Yuya noticed he was wearing a silver Duel Disk, and the boy fished through his Deck, before finding a card. "This is my favourite monster," he grinned, holding it out for Yuya to see.
The boy froze, and reread the card text after seeing the name. "Hammer Tail," he paused in shock. "Ritual Dragon?"
With that, his new friend snatched the card away. "Sorry, but I can't let you get all the secrets of my Deck. What if we end up Duelling? I don't want to give you the advantage,"
Yuya's eyes widened as he remembered what had happened before he passed out. "Wait - Yuzu! Gong, Flare, Sawatari, and Selena. And Yuzu. Where are they?" he demanded of Shun.
"Gong's a little ways that way," Shun gestured with his thumb in a seemingly random direction. "He hasn't woken up yet. Flare's alright too, but she's been feeling sick ever since she woke up, so I decided to, however reluctantly, trust him," the black Xyzian gestured to Yuke, who beamed, "and she's in bed at his house. I haven't found Sawatari, Selena or Yuzu yet,"
"Okay," Yuya nodded, regaining his balance. "Come with me, I'll take you to where Flare's at," Yuke offered, and his counterpart nodded, following the blue-haired Duelist down the pile of debris.
"You still haven't told me exactly what this place is," Yuya pointed out, and the yellow-eyed boy looked at him in surprise. "Oh? Heh, my bad. What did you say your name was?"
"Yuya. Yuya Sakaki,"
With an exuberant sweep of his arm, Yuke beamed, "Then welcome, Yuya Sakaki, to the Crashlands!" he declared.
"Ee, no offence, but it looks like a pile of junk," Yuya uncertainly offered. "It kind of is," Yuke agreed. "Basically, every now and then, something kind of 'falls off' one of the dimensions, into a crack of sorts. A building here, a chunk of land there, things no one ever really realises are gone. Sometimes, even people fall into the holes," Yuke sighed, but shrugged it off. "The Crashlands is like a small planet that exists as an accumulation of all the things that fell through the cracks into the void. They came together, piece by piece, until there was a tiny planet, orbited by a tiny sun, outside of the four dimensions, that people unlucky enough to find themselves here call home," Yuke explained.
"So, you fell through a crack?" Yuya frowned, but Yuke shook his head. "I was born here. My parents were Crashlanders, like you and your friends are,"
"Okay," Yuya nodded. "One really, super mega important thing you gotta remember, though," his counterpart added. "This world exists outside of conventional time and space. All the debris and air sucked out of the dimensions retain their own laws of physics to an extent, but, well, what you're probably used to being cold, hard facts are a little more flexible around here," he continued.
Yuya frowned. "I don't get it," he admitted.
Yuke paused next to a massive slab of metal. "In your world, it would be impossible to lift this with nothing but your own arms, right?" he asked, gesturing.
When Yuya, assuming that it was a rhetorical question, didn't answer, he frowned. "Seriously. I'm asking. All I know about normal laws of physics are what I've heard from Crashlanders,"
"Oh, uh, right. Yes, it would," Yuya nodded.
His jaw dropped as Yuke lifted it into the air with one hand effortlessly, before sighting down his free arm and throwing it high into the air. Two seconds after it left his grip, its normal weight reasserted itself and it suddenly sunk like a stone. "That's what I mean by physics being flexible here," Yuke smirked.
"That was insane," Yuya breathed as his new friend continued on his way. "That was nothing," the boy laughed. "Oh! We're here," he smiled as he slid down a muddy bank and landed on a massive plate of some kind of purple-black mineral.
A few metres away, a large, two-storey house painted bright red with splashes of yellow on it was waiting. A large, thick cable snaked out of the side and went into a small shed. "That out there's the power generator," Yuke explained as he jumped onto the balcony and opened the door, and with a theatrical now he gestured for Yuya to enter first. The green-haired boy did so, looking around. He was kind of surprised to hear a television in one of the far rooms. "There's no signal, but we've got DVDs," Yuke explained. "That's where your friend Flare is,"
Yuya needed no further prompting, dashing down the corridor until he reached the room where he heard the noise coming from. There, he found his friend lying on an old couch, a thick woollen blanket covering her body and her backpack full of cards on the floor next to her. "Yuya. Great to see you," she moaned, clutching her head.
"Are you okay?" Yuya gulped, rushing towards her as she clutched a hand to her forehead. "I'm fine. Just been feeling horribly sick since getting here, not sure why. I'm sure it'll pass," the redhead shrugged it off. Yuya took a seat in one of the armchairs next to the couch she lay on. As he did, Flare pulled the blanket off herself and sat up, and he was relieved to see that other than a few minor cuts and bruises, and a couple of gashes in her black leather riding suit, she was alright. Yuke took advantage of the freed-up space to fall backwards and crash onto the sofa. "What movie?" he asked.
"Old Incredible Hulk thing," Flare shrugged, watching the massive green monster on-screen destroy a military helicopter and crash through several Solid Vision obstacles created by the police like they were nothing, and Yuke made a face. "Eww, no. Come on, Yuya. How about we have a friendly Duel?" he suggested.
"Always up for a challenge," Yuya grinned, before looking at Flare. "Go, I'll be fine," she waved him off, and he nodded, following Yuke out the back door.
The two took their positions a few meters apart, and Yuke shouted over. "Duelling's a bit different here too, Yuya! So just let me show you how it's done!" he declared. "Got it!" Yuya agreed, arming his Duel Disk. The prompt appeared to make it an Action Duel, but he declined. "Better not to spring that surprise on him just yet,"
"My turn!" Yuke declared with a grin. "I'll start things off by Normal Summoning Pearl Monoglyph from my hand!" he declared, and a portal opened. A large white stone, inscribed with runes and made completely of pearl, appeared. 0 ATK. "When Peael Monoglyph's Summoned, I can change it to Defence Mode!" he continued. A shield of magical runes appeared, surrounding the stone, and it revealed 1600 DEF. "and now that I have, I can use Pearl's other effect, to place any Monoglyph card from my Deck on top of my Deck! I choose Sapphire Monoglyph!" he continued, revealing a card showing a teardrop-shaped stone made of blue crystal and inscribed with similar runes, before placing it on top of his Deck. "I Set a card and end my turn!"
"Awesome," Yuya nodded. "My turn! Draw!" he declared, drawing his card. "You're in for a real treat!" he grinned. "Using the Scale 1 Odd-Eyes Baby Dragonet, and the Scale 5 Performapal Fire Mufflerlion, I set the Pendulum Scale!" he declared.
"The what?" Yuke frowned as the two monsters rose into the air. "When I have the Pendulum Scale set like this, I can Soecial Summon any number of monsters from my hand as long as their levels are between the scales! With the Scales set at one and five, I can Summon monsters Level two, three and four!" the boy explained.
"Makes sense," his opponent agreed.
"So I'll Pendulum Summon! Swing far, pendulum! Carve the arc of victory!" Yuya declared. "Appear, Performapal Bot-Eyes Lizard!" he commanded, and a purple lizard with robotic eyes and wielding an umbrella appeared with 1600 ATK. "And Performapal Trump Girl!" he added, summoning a small, cartoonish jester girl with 200 ATK. "I activate the effect of Bot-Eyes Lizard! By sending one Odd-Eyes monster from my Deck to the Grave, I can make his name be treated as the sent monster's until the end of the turn! I send Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" he commanded, and his ace dragon went to the Grave, as a hologram of it appeared in place of Bot-Eyes. "Now I activate Trump Girl's effect! I can perform a Fusion Summon using monsters I control as Fusion Materials, including her! So I fuse Trump Girl with Bot-Eyes Lizard turned Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya commanded, and the young jester shrieked in delight, waving her wand and creating a Fusion vortex which the two monsters were sucked into. "One who controls the bizarre arts, become the light in the eye of the dragon! Fusion Summon!" Yuya chanted as a silhouette appeared in the portal. "Come forth! Arcane dragon wielder of ancient dragon magic! Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
The spellcasting evolution of Odd-Eyes appeared and roared. 3000 ATK. "I'm not quite sure what a Fusion Summon is, but cool!" Yuke grinned wildly.
"Battle! Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon can attack more times based on the level of its Spellcaster-Type Fusion Material!" Yuya declared. "Trump Girl was Level 2, so it can attack twice per Battle Phase!" he declared. "Go! Destroy that rock! Shining Burst of Repeating Attacks!" he commanded, and the dragon obeyed, launching an assault that destroyed the defending slab of crystal. "Now, attack Yuke directly!" Yuya continued. "Again, Shining Burst of Repeating Attacks!"
In one fell swoop, Yuke's LP was cut to 1000 as the boy ducked out of the way of the attack. "Impressive," the boy nodded with a grin. "You think? Turn end," Yuya grinned, before noticing something. The ground where Rune-Eyes' attacks had hit was charred and smoking. "Why is our Battle Damage real? This isn't an Action Duel!" Yuya protested in shock.
"Oh yeah," the boy nodded. "I forgot to mention that, didn't I? In the Crashlands, the monsters are always real. But don't worry about that, it's not a big deal," Yuke shrugged it off.
"How can you say that?" I could have killed you!" Yuya gulped.
"Buuuuuut, you didn't," the blue-haired boy shrugged. "Anyways, I can see that I'm gonna have to step up my game if I'm going to beat you," Yuke smirked. "So get ready, because I'm gonna bring it! My turn! I draw!" he declared, taking Sapphire Monoglyph from his Deck. "I Normal Summon Sapphire Monoglyph from my hand!" he declared, and the teardrop-shaped sapphire crystal appeared. 0 ATK. "When Sapphire's Summoned, it's changed to Defence Position, and I can add one Ritual Monster from my Deck to my hand!" he continued, as the monolith revealed 1300 DEF and a card emerged from his Deck. "I add Hammer Tail Ritual Dragon!" he declared.
Yuya paused. 'Hammer Tail. That was the monster he showed me,' he thought.
"Now, I play my Ritual Spell, Seismic Energy!" Yuke declared with a wild grin. "Using the power of this Spell, I Tribute my Sapphire Monoglyph on my field and the Topaz Monoglyph in my hand!" A fissure ran through the ground of his field, as a large hexagonal orange gemstone appeared next to Sapphire. "Take all you want and give nothing back! Get ready, my monster, to launch your attack!" Yuke chanted. The wind picked up, and his two Monoglyphs shattered fragments that swirled in the air before being sucked into the fissure as brilliant blue light emerged from it. "Ritual Summon! Appear, Level 7! Tectonic dragon that swallows all in its quakes! Arise, Hammer Tail Ritual Dragon!" Yuke commanded.
A massive, twisting silver and blue mass shot out,of the ground, soaring into the sky, twisting and whirling in every direction. It took a few seconds for Yuya to understand that what he was seeing was a long, serpentine silver dragon, with a blue underbelly, glowing blue eyes, four short, slender limbs, glowing orange eyes and matching orange spines running down its back which led to a massive, rocky club on the end of its tail. That was probably where it got its name, he mused as the dragon's 2500 ATK was revealed.
"I activate Hammer Tail's effect! Once per turn, I can target one other monster on the field, and Hammer Tail gains Attack Points equal to that monster's Defence Points! Go, Geode Reflection!" Yuke grinned. The floating dragon bashed its tail against the ground and a large mirror of crystal rose into the air, trapping an image of Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon within it with a large pop-up that revealed its 2500 DEF. Hammer Tail roared and dived forwards, snatching the crystal in its massive jaws, before tossing it into the air and expertly catching it in its mouth, before swallowing the chunk whole. It's ATK doubled, becoming an incredible 5000.
"Perfect! Now go, Hammer Tail Ritual Dragon!" Yuke commanded. "Attack Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Seismic Fissure of Eruptions!" he commanded, and his dragon dived into the earth, the ground splitting beneath it, before it leapt up and attacked Rune-Eyes' exposed underbelly, knocking the dragon into the air, where it was instantly destroyed. Yuya winced as 2000 points of damage washed over him.
"I'll end my turn by Setting another card, and now Hammer Tail's ATK goes back to normal," Yuke smirked as a second facedown appeared in front of him, and his dragon's ATK went back to normal. "Your move, Yuya Sakaki! Can you take down my dragon?"
"My turn! Draw!" Yuya grinned. "You'd better believe it, because I just got a winner! I activate Odd-Eyes Baby Dragonet's Pendulum Ability! Once per turn, I can change the Scale of the Pendulum Card in my other Zone to eight until the end of the turn!" Junior squealed and Fire Mufflerlion roared as his Scale was increased by three. "So swing far, pendulum! Carve the arc of victory!" he declared, as a massive pendulum swung between his scales. Yuke watched in amazement. "You've gotta show me how to do that!" he grinned.
"Return from my Extra Deck, Performapal Trump Girl!" Yuya commanded, reviving the monster in Defence Position. The jester grinned, waving its wand. "Wait, wasn't that monster -" Yuke started, but as Yuya interrupted him, he shrugged, dismissing the matter.
"And come forth, mighty leader of the Performapals! King of the stage, Performapal Elephammer!" he commanded. A trumpeting cry rang across the field as a massive yellow hammer emerged from the portal, followed by a blue trunk. A massive blue elephant with a large hammer on the end of its trunk appeared, with 2600 ATK.
Yuke blinked in surprise. "Dude! That is so cool!" he grinned. "Thank you, thank you," Yuya bowed. "Okay, I've got Trump Girl to protect my Life Points if things go sideways, and Elephammer is gonna bounce his backrow. I've got this in the bag," he smiled. "Go, Elephammer! Destroy that dragon!"
"Say what?" Yuke blinked. "Now, when Elephammer attacks, all Spell and Trap Cards you control are returned to the hand!" Yuya grinned.
A smile tore across Yuke's face. "Bad move," he cockily grinned. "I activate my Counter Trap, Ultimate Providence! When you activate an effect, I can discard a card of the same type to negate the effect and destroy it! So, by discarding Emerald Monoglyph, your effect is negated and destroyed!"
"What?" Yuya's eyes went wide as a massive green crystal inscribed with runes was launched at Elephammer, destroying both. "Urgh, turn end," he sighed.
"Good!" Yuke grinned, and his dragon roared. "My turn! Draw! Let's not waste time! Hammer Tail Ritual Dragon, destroy Performapal Trump Girl! Once again, Seismic Eruption Fissure!" The dragon repeated its attack, instantly destroying the Pendulum monster. "No sense in wasting cards. Turn end!" Yuke smirked.
"My turn!" Yuya declared with a grin as he drew his card. "Here we go," he grinned to himself. "With my Set Pendulum Scale, I Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters! Performapal Whip Snake!" he declared, and his purple snake appeared from the portal. "And Performapal Silver Claw!" he continued, bringing forth his favourite lupine. 1700 and 1800 ATK.
"That's not much," Yuke scuffed, but Yuya shook his head. "I'm not finished! With my two Level 4 Performapals, I'll now build -"
"Hey!" a familiar voice shouted. "What do you two think you're doing, having a Duel without me?"
Sawatari stormed up from behind the house, fuming. "I wanna Duel!" he whined.
"Friend of yours?" Yuke asked his counterpart. "More of an acquaintance," Yuya admitted. "Well, you just wait your turn!" the Ritual Duelist snorted. "You were saying?"
"Right!" Yuya remembered. "I build the Overlay Network!"
"The what?" Yuke blinked as a green-black vortex appeared and sucked in the two monsters. "Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppress its treacherous fangs! Xyz Summon, Rank 4!" Yuya declared as the black dragon took form. "Descend, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" he commanded, and his monster roared at its opponent.
Something pulsed inside Yuya. Yuke felt something strange too, his eyes glowing with yellow light. "What the heck is this?" he frowned, looking at his hands, before he felt something inside him surge.
Yuya felt it too, but differently. Something within him was pushing, surging, trying to take over.
As this happened, Sawatari squinted. Was that just a trick of the light . . . or did Yuya's irises suddenly look grey?
-Y-
Yuto blinked. What was going on? Where was he?
Suddenly, something powerful overcame him as he saw the scene in front of him. His dragon was facing off against another dragon. And he could tell they didn't like each other.
"I activate Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon's effect! By using two Overlay units, your monster's ATK is halved and Dark Rebellion gains that lost ATK! Treason Discharge!" Yuto shouted, and Hammer Tail's ATK was cut to 1250, as Dark Rebellion rose to 3750. "Dark Rebellion! Attack! Mauling Mandible Charge!" Yuto commanded, and his dragon obliged, charging at the Ritual Dragon.
"I activate Half Unbreak!" Yuke declared, his eyes glowing brilliant yellow as his second face-down. "Hammer Tail can't be destroyed and the battle damage I would fake is halved!"
Blue energy protected the dragon as Yuke's LP was cut further, to 750. Yuto cursed. He didn't know why, but nothing mattered except the Duel. "Turn end!" he glared.
Yuke opened his mouth, but something interrupted him. "My turn!" an orange-haired girl with fox ears peeking out of her hair declared, dashing towards them. "I saw you like this before once, Yuke! I'm never letting that happen again!" Katie shouted, her orange Duel Disk armed as the Intrusion Penalty cut her to 2000 LP. "I Normal Summon Volpyne Priestess - Kana from my hand!" she declared, and a tall, tanned woman dressed in a red kimono appeared with 1200 ATK. "When Kana is Summoned, I can add one Volpyne Spell Card from my Deck to my hand!" she declared. "I add Ritual of Volpyne Possession!" she declared, taking a Spell from her Deck. "Now, I play Ritual of Volpyne Possession! By Tributing Kana on my field, and Volpyne Acolyte - Kirsten in my hand, I Ritual Summon!" she declared, taking a stance. Dimly, Yuto paused for just a second as he saw a fox tail fall out of her dress, but shrugged it off.
"Come forth from the breach, spirit of the pyre! Take form through my ritual as the great fox of fire!" Katie chanted, as a massive circle of runes appeared in front of her. "Ritual Summon! Appear, Level 8! Wandering spirit that lives through flame! Megavolpyne Spirit - Kitsune!" she chanted, and the translucent form of an anthropomorphic fox rose into view, eyes glowing red. The spirit pirouetted, and five translucent tails swished behind her as she was displayed to have 1500 ATK. "When Volpyne Acolyte - Kirsten is Tributed, I can target one monster I control and it gains 300 ATK! I, of course, choose Kitsune!" The spirit's ATK became 1800 as the fox smirked and licked her lips. "Now Kitsune's effect activates! I can target one monster my opponent controls and equip it to Kitsune! Kitsune, possess that black dragon!" Katie commanded, and her monster changed into pure energy, which swirled towards Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon.
The dragon's eyes glowed a different shade of red as a Solid Vision wind picked up Yuto's dragon's card, and the Duelist blinked in shock as somehow, impossibly, the dragon grew orange fur over its scales, which turned white near the end of its tail, and small vulpine ears grew from its head. The possessed dragon obediently trotted over to Katie, as Dark Rebellion's 2500 ATK was added to Kitsune's, granting her monster 4300 ATK. "Kitsune! Take Yuya out!" Katie commanded, and her monster obeyed, guiding its new body effortlessly and charging towards Yuto, who blinked as he suddenly felt dizzy -
-Y-
Yuya blinked rapidly, trying to figure out what was going on. "What just happened?" he asked in confusion, before looking up to see the possessed monster bear down on him. "What? Dark Rebellion?" he blinked as, with a charge, Kitsune wiped out his Life Points. "Sorry!" Katie shouted at him, before turning to her friend. "Yuke! Are you alright?"
Slowly, blearily, the Ritual Duelist blinked away the yellow light in his eyes. "What happened?" he questioned.
Katie deactivated her Duel Disk and the monsters vanished as she trotted over to Yuke. "It happened again," she told him, grimacing.
Yuke's face drained of blood. "What? How long was I out? Did anyone get hurt?"
"Yuya looks a little worse for wear, but everyone else seems fine," the girl told him, and he sighed in relief. "Yuya?" he asked as the Entertainment Duelist picked himself up. "Don't worry, I'm okay,"
Katie took Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon from her Duel Disk and rushed over to Yuya. "Here. This is yours," she nodded, and he gratefully took the card. "Sorry about that," she paused, uncertain how to explain it. "Er . . . sometimes, when he's Duelling, he has a sort of turn and loses control. We don't know why," she tried to explain, wrinkling her nose as her ears lay flat against her head.
"Yeah," Yuya nodded - then suddenly stopped, realising what he had just seen. "Those," he trailed off, staring at the furry, triangular folds peeking out of her hair.
Katie realised what he was looking at. "Oh, Yuke didn't mention it?" she blinked, and Yua heard the faint sound of something swooshing. In shock, he looked down to see the bushy, supposedly fake fox tail that hung out of her dress swishing back and forth in a very nervous and realistic fashion. "He said physics and stuff was different," Yuya recalled. He knew he shouldn't, but couldn't help but stare.
"Yeah," Katie nodded, agreeing. "Mutations like mine," Her ears twitched. "they're rare, but they happen enough around here for it to not really be a big deal," she explained.
The girl looked up in surprise as Yuke placed a hand on her shoulder, staring Yuya in the eye. "And she is extremely sensitive about it, so if you plan on giving her a hard time about it, leave now," he commanded.
"Whoa, I'm not, I'm not," Yuya defended himself. "Just surprised is all,"
"Good," the blue-haired boy nodded, steering his friend back into the house.
"No matter what, don't say anything," the entertainer addressed Sawatari, who looked him in surprise. "Of course not! What do you take me for?"
A booming voice came from across the plateau as the distinctive clink of metal sandals reached their ears. "I think he nailed it,"
"Gongenzaka!" Yuya grinned, turning and rushing towards his friend. "Now we're only missing Yuzu and Selena - as soon as Shun gets here, that is,"
Gong paused, looking down at his friend. "Uh, Yuya? I was thinking about that," he stated, and Yuya frowned. "Yeah?
"Yuzu and Selena went into the portal at a different time to the rest of us, right? So they could easily have gone somewhere different," Gong reasoned.
"Wha - but - Yuzu?" Yuya stammered in shock.
Gong clapped a hand on his shoulder. "We're okay, right? So she probably is too. We just gotta find her. Now, come on. Let's get some dinner, 'cause I'm hungry," he declared, steering Yuya towards the house.
Once they got inside, they found Flare had progressed to an Ice Age movie. "Something wrong?" Gong sympathetically asked as the girl clutched at her head. "She's sick," Sawatari shrugged. "And you could be a liiiiiiiiittle bit more sympathetic," Flare huffed at the blonde. "I've been feeling like puking my stomach out since we got here,"
"I'm gonna find the kitchen," Gongenzaka decided, leaving the room. "Maybe there's a stomach medicine there or something?"
Yuya took a seat. "Any idea what caused it?"
Flare shrugged in response. "Yuke said something about physics being different around here. Maybe my body's having trouble adjusting or something?"
"Sounds right to me. Now quiet, this is one of the best bits," Sawatari hissed.
Yuya watched in surprise as a pirate baboon wedged himself into a crack in a glacier and tore it apart by the fissures. "Who made this movie?" he questioned.
Flare idly snatched up the cover. "Some guy named Steve," she shrugged.
A/N
A/N
I've been hearing a lot about the new Ice Age movie recently, and I am totally on board with it. :) And that's true! Ice Age 4 was directed by someone called Steve Martino. XD No idea who that is, but . . . "some guy named Steve," XD
Anyway, welcome to Crashlands! Soon, we'll see more of this crazy place the Lancers have ended up in, and we may even check up on Yuzu and Selena! :)
One thing that I should probably explain, just for clarification. Junior can break Yuya out of Berserk Mode, but he can't do anything for Yugo, Yuri, Yuke or Yuto.
Aaaaaaand, all the made-up Monoglyph (which is a combination of 'monolith' and 'geoglyph') and 'Volpyne' (a pun on 'vulpine') cards used, need their card text revealed! :)

No reviews, so, peace! :)
