Italics indicate thinking

Yuki's POV

The World Racing Grand Prix was going well, the team had withstood the opening few rounds and were moving on to the tougher stages. Even with a couple minor setbacks like a riot of duel robot and more interference from Iliaster things were going pretty well.

I felt good about things till the final match of the competition against Team New World, Lester, Primo and Jakob. They all had those Meklord cards.

"Those three guys." I mumbled watching the duel from the pitlane "They're the same."

"What do you mean?" Luna asked.

"They're all the same person I can see it!" I said as the three merged into one being "What the hell are these…Revelation!"

"Wait!" Cleo warned me.

"GAH!" I dug my hand into my head "This is…impossible."

"Yuki!" Luna looked up at me "What did you see?"

"It's…nothing." I rubbed my head.

These guys…are they really from the future, it would explain a lot.

I didn't have to much more time to ruminate on things when Yusei defeated them, seemingly ending whatever, this disaster was before it started. Or at least that's what I had hoped, while we were celebrating a huge black castle appeared in the sky.

"If that thing descends it's going to destroy everything." Cleo told me.

"It's sucking in all the power in the city." I noted as things around us shut off one after another.

We got an update from the Security folks explaining that the Ark Cradle, that thing in the sky, had an opposite rotation to the Ener-D reactor, creating Minus Energy that sucked up the power in the city and in twelve hours it'd have enough mass to fall onto the city and crush it.

So this is the disaster…

"We just have to make it up there and stop the reverse spin, right?" I asked "They said they came from the future to stop it's destruction, so the solution is to get up there and stop them from destroying the world before it can be destroyed the other time, we work on a solution to that then."

"We simply have to crush the gears of the future." I smiled.

"How do you plan on getting up there?" Crow asked.

"Hmm…we could drive." I shrugged.

"The Duel Runners can't go remember." Jack said "With the Minus Rotation-."

"You're immune as long as you have the Signer Mark, you weren't effected by Iliaster's other future magic so you shouldn't be effected by this, look." I pointed "Team Ragnorok can drive just fine with their Rune Eyes."

"You'd be better off not coming." Sherry, the woman I saw in the dream one time, appeared on a screen "I've seen the future, where you come to the Ark Cradle and die."

"You do know how this always goes right, you all say you've seen the future, and we swear to change it." I smirked.

"I've met Z-ONE and he is the righteous one…do not interfere." She warned hanging up.

"Going up there is fine, but I've got the only gliding Runner." Crow noted "How are the rest supposed to make that jump?"

"If Sherry said I died there in her vision I must have made it to the Cradle then." Yusei hummed "So there is a way…"

"Maybe…we shouldn't bother." Leo said "That was Yusei won't die!"

"You little-!" Jack was getting pissed off.

"Everyone remain calm." A voice said "You have no reason to panic."

A portal of light formed and Happiness stepped out.

"It's you again." Luna smiled.

"The future is not set in stone, not even by the gods." She said "Though I would prefer if things from the future didn't attempt to interfere in the past, but I'm digressing, the future can be changed and Yusei can be saved."

"There's still the problem of getting up there." Cleo told her.

"Fear not, that can be arranged as well." She smiled "My brother has already began to speak with those who may assist you."

"You're…interfering?" I asked.

"I've grown quite tired of sitting and merely observing as my creations walk on the brink of destruction…it appears Fear agrees." She hummed "He will arrange for Team Ragnorok to deploy the Bifrost Bridge."

Another light, this time a deep purple one, flashed and Fear, the cloaked one stood there.

"It's done." He told us "You should get to Daedalus Bridge."

"Thank you…both of you." I smiled.

Later

"It's really a rainbow road." Luna smiled as we road across the light bridge.

"I feel like I'm in a video game." I laughed.

"Stay focused." Cleo hummed looking forward "It gets serious now. There's no railing so watch your turns!"

"The road is starting to disappear!" Luna yelled.

"We need to gun it!" I warned shifting up a gear.

It's way too tight….

"HMPH!" I caught my tire on the edge of the main platform and for once having an ATV type came in handy since it can climb over shit like that easy enough.

"Let's not waste time, aim for the heart." Yusei started to drive off.

When we passed into the main heart of the Ark Cradle we got separated by some sort of field, and I was with Crow and Akiza. Each of the three groups had a gear to stop, so I wasn't gonna cry over getting separated, besides I know Luna can handle this.

NO POV

While Yuki, Crow and Akiza made their way forward another team was already in a terrible spot, Luna, Leo and Jack were on the brink of defeat and seemingly had no way out against Aporia.

"It's over…" Luna looked up "There's…nothing I can do."

"You'd needn't give up yet child." A light reached out to her "For you are special, and I will protect you for you are destined for something greater than this…Although it sounds quite silly given our names, we are capable of experiencing many emotions."

A pink light flashed and Happiness appeared.

"And right now,…I've quite angry." She hissed "Aporia you seek the destruction of my creation, the pain of my servants and to meddle in the realm of things you humans should not be tampering with! But I am still supposed to avoid punishing you humans, so I will give you a choice, you can give up this fight walk away and not be punished…"

She looked up "Or you may duel me, Happiness one of the Gods of light!"

"Which will it be, will you walk away with your life, or be so foolish as to attempt to slay a God!"

Thank you for reading. Feedback is appreciated. Feel free to message me any questions or concerns.

I wasn't gonna have Yuki do much during the WRGP so rather than have her spectate like 30 episodes worth of duels I just skipped them.

Pick Up Point- EP 139ish.

Till Next Time!
