Chapter 50: Reverse the World S02-14


"Since you choose to challenge me last time, I think it's only fair that I let you go first. Since your about to lose pitifully, darling." Mizar stated. "Whatever, I can also take you out on my next turn." She stated on her own.


Alesia's POV


TURN 1

"I draw!" I drew my first card, and see that it's my favorite card. "First up, I summon my Constellar Algeidi!" The female cosmic soldier from the sky appeared on my field.

1600 ATK/ 1400 DEF

"And with her special ability, once summoned, I can also special summon another level 4 Constellar monster from my hand. Come on out, Constellar Pollux!"

The 2nd heavy lifting Constellar monster appeared on the field. I can imagine how my dad is shocked. Mizar looked surprised.

1700 ATK/ 600 DEF

Mizar realized what I planned to do, yet he nearly seemed fazed by it. "Great, Now she has two level 4 monsters on the field." He stated. "She's going to XYZ summon." Dumon made note as the others watched. I through my hand into the air. "Now I will overlay my level 4 Constellar Algeidi and Constellar Pollux." My two monsters turned into yellow lights and streamed up to the air. The overlay network was building, and the portal opened. "With them, I build the overly Network!" When the two streams entered inside, the overlay network bursted into a colorful explosion. "I XYZ summon! Arise, warrior of the cosmic stars. Constellar Praecepe!"

Praecepe emerged from it's golden light and revealed himself on the field.

2400 ATK / 800 DEF

The Barians were surprised that I was able to bring out the XYZ monster at once on the first turn. But I have to let them know that I am quite serious. I can't just go ahead and let my guard down thinking that Mizar will allow me to win. He's brutal. Unlike Dumon, who prefers to fight only if he has to, he's more calculated and straight to the point. Sharp and swift… Just like Kite is. Just twice as much ruthless than what Kite used to be. He'd rather bribe you to quit than to crush you because he likes it. Vector on the other hand is another. Alito is too competitive like Yuma is. Girag can be a bit subtle until he knows what strategy to take you down. But his cards are indeed tough. And that should not be taken lightly.

"I now set two cards face down and end my turn!" I declared as two cards are set face down. "Make sure you don't trip along the way Mizar, wouldn't want your hair to fall off!" I snared in anger. All of what they did to Cyan, those students and these innocent people has to stop.

TURN 2

"You'll regret that remark, princess! Now prepare yourself, I draw!" Mizar draws his 6th card. He looks at it. And he wasted no time in knowing what to do. I know I really shouldn't be thinking this, but please let me not embarrass myself in front of my parents. "I will start by special summoning my 'Radius, the Half-Moon Dragon' from my hand!"

A large white shield twisted around in a circle before revealing itself to be a purple dragon having them as scales. It growled before he got into attack position.

1400 ATK / 1200 DEF

Worry was filled in my eyes as I began to realized that I played right into his strategy from the very beginning. "What? Special summon?!" I asked in shock. Kite widened his eyes as he knew what was going to happen, and the major mistake I made when bringing out my Praecepe. "That's, right! I can do so whenever my opponent already have an XYZ monster on the field. And since you do, my Radius can be special summoned onto the field. And his special ability allows him to double his level. Making him a Level 8 monster instead…"

**** — ********

"And now, with Radius on my field, I am allowed to special summon my 'Parsec, the Interstellar Dragon' from my hand whenever I control a level 8 monster!" He said as once again, another monster of his comes out to join the other. This time, it was a long purple colored dragon in a shape of an insect. "Tsk!" I said under my breath.

800 ATK / 800 DEF

"You're not the only one who deals with the celestial, Alesia. Yet you think you still could have an upper hand on me? Quite the contrary, my dear—You still have a long way to go if you expect to become a professional at dueling. And now I will overlay my level 8 Parsec and level 8 Radius! " I narrowed my eyes. I was already trying to stay come. When he went ahead and XYZ summoned 'Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon', it was only a matter of time. "Now feast your eyes on the monster that will be your demise!" Tachyon roared with it's three heads. The road so strong that the cars from outside began blaring with its alarm horns constantly. It was then I figured it all out. This must have been what had happened to Cyan. He was in a duel, and utterly lost…

3000 ATK / 2500 DEF


NORMAL POV


Julie looked on nearly wanting to scream and Walter began holding on to her to help her remain calm. "So that is what this thing looks like in real life…" Julie expressed. "Not quite, it's more like a replacement for it's ability to stay within this space. According to a few colleagues of mine that handled Cara's case. This situation that she dealt with is the same situation that is happening here. In the city of New York, there were 0 visibility at that time. No word of fog, or rain, not even snow. But it was near summer, so it would have been impossible for that to ever happen. Yet, this same thing happened perfectly. As if it were yesterday. And right now, our daughter has to be the one to finish this task. But… she is not alone." Walter declared…


Alesia's POV


Mizar laughed like he was mad. He really thought that he had it all down packed like never before. Good thing that I've been studying up on some new techniques. Astral noticed something. "Alesia, you must be careful! Regardless of what you remember, he can activate his Tachyon Dragon's special ability the moment you plan to activate yours." Yuma, Shark and Kite remembered this like before they were brought to our world. When Mizar beat the snot out of Yuma, hurting Astral in the process and for Kite to take over. Remembering what had happened to them was almost starting to get to me. But I couldn't allow something like that to happen again. I promised.

Mizar chuckled. "Already your monster is no match for my Galaxy-Eyes! But I would be honored to destroy it for you! Now! Tachyon Dragon! Attack Alesia's Constellar Praecepe with Tachyon Spiral of Destruction!" Everyone in the team gasped but me. And he did exactly what I was hoping he would do. Attack my Praecepe. Now, here goes… "Not so fast Mizar! I activate Praecepe's special ability! By discarding one overlay unit, once per turn, Praecepe gain's 1000 attack points during the battle step only!"

Praecepe: 2400 — 3400 ATK

"I see… Then I will counter that ability by me also activating Tachyon Dragon's special ability! By discarding one overlay unit, I can negate that effect of that monster, and his attack points returns back to its original number! Go Tachyon Transmigration!" 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon halted his attack midway before retransforming itself back to its foment state to preform the effect. The blurring rainbow flashing lights was nearly blinding me and everybody around it. But I wasn't at all a little bit worried. Mizar again was enjoying this. "By doing what you did Alesia, you wasted that good overlay unit for nothing!" Mizar gloated. "Hope you aren't too upset! But I would be happy to give you another present. Your Monster's destruction!" Praecepe cried out in pain as he was losing his attack power.

Praecepe: 3400 ATK — 2400 ATK

Astral panicked as did Yuma. "Oh no!" Yuma shouted. "He's doing the exact same thing he did to Yuma!" Astral commented. "This is getting bad already! I just know it, Astral!" Yuma worriedly cried out while covering his face. But this was starting to annoy Shark. "Hey! Will you just zip it already? Alesia is going to pull through this! Just you guys wait, You'll see!"

Kite narrowed his eyes. "Let's just hope so, Shark. Let's just hope so…" Kite replied.

"Keep boasting like that Mizar, it will be your downfall." I stated before I was going to make my next move. Mizar looked a bit unnerved at my remarks, surprised that I had the audacity to talk back at a time like this. BUT… Knowing what his Tachyon Dragon's special ability is, I came quite prepared! "Matter of fact, why not just reveal it to you right now! Activate Counter Trap Card!" I called out. Mizar was stumped when I revealed what it was. "Broken Line!" I called out as it activated. Girag paled at this.

Jenny raised her eye brow. "Wait a minute. I had no idea that she had that card." Jenny stated to herself. Alito sucked his teeth in annoyance. He couldn't believe what I had pulled off. "That can't be right. Broken Line?! How!?" Mizar shouted. "It was simple, really. When you chose to special summon your Tachyon Dragon onto the field, I already awaited for you to do so since you practically did it last time. Now that you summoned him within the same line as where I set it, I was allowed to activate it as well."

Mizar raised a brow. "So it had two conditions to follow?!" he questioned confused.

"Correct. And it was the perfect match." Mizar felt so stupid of falling for something that he could have avoided. He looked down at where he placed his card at with mine. "When you used your overlay unit, the conditions were already set, you see. Now I can get rid of your Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon." Mizar narrowed his eyes at my statement. "And how in the world are you going to succeed in doing that?" He challenged sharply. "Pay attention." He pulled shocked by my order. "How do you think I'm going to do that? By negating your effect you did on my Constellar Praecepe by using my Broken Line Trap card already in place on my field [he gasped]. So that way, my Praecepe's attack points can go back to the way it was before you used your Tachyon Transmigration. And once finished, it will destroy your Tachyon Dragon for good!"

Praecepe: 2400 — 3400 ATK

Mizar's face scrunched up in anger. "BUT THAT CANNOT BE!" he yelled.

"SOOOOO sorry Mizar, but it so IS! Your dragon is gonna go bye-bye!" I boasted to his face as the trap card destroyed his Galaxy-Eyes by blowing him up to pixelated pieces. And Mizar's eyes twitched as he gaped in astonishment. Had he not gripped his cards right, I would say that almost could have dropped them. It hasn't even been the 3rd turn, and already she had him on the ropes so far.

"Oh my word…" Julie breathe out. "Now that is what you call a strategy. And I don't even know how you even play the game." Walter said with a smile. Then a phone call came in on Walter's cellphone. Orbital was giving Alesia a happy cheer even though he didn't pay attention to what was happening with Julie and Walter. Julie hears the phone ring as well. Shocked that he would even consider answering at a time like this. "Walter, what in the world are you doing?!"

Walter frowned. "About to answer my phone. It's Taylor and Thomas. It's important." He picked it up despite the protest Julie had made. "Hello, talk to me."

There were some static on the line. "…Walter? Are you there? Can you here us, Walter?" It was Taylor. "Yes, Taylor — Please, Tell Me that you have some good news?" He hoped. He then placed her on speaker phone so that everyone can hear. "Actually more bad news than good news…"

Walter narrowed his eyes before Orbital turned around to see what was happening with Mr. Bennet and Ms. Hernandez.


Alesia POV


"How… HOW in the world did you come up with THAT?! You destroyed my Tachyon Dragon!" Mizar growled loudly clearly showing his anger and displeasure. He looked back on his empty field to see what he had in his remaining hand. Just what in the world was I thinking?! She is the 2nd person besides Kite to defeat my Galaxy-Eyes, but without laying a scratch! I could have had set two trap cards lying in wait for her, before I ever thought about bringing out my Tachyon Dragon onto the field to take on her Constellar Praecepe. But now that idea is gone, there may not be any other choice, and this girl is really starting to annoy me. Mizar voiced in his head.

He growled again, clearly embarrassed and annoyed that I did what I did. I couldn't help but be so proud of myself. My strategy worked. "YEAH! That was some great thinking out there, Alesia! You took down his most precious dragon with just one card! And it was only a Number!" Shark praised with a big small.

"But that can't be right. Only a Number card can be defeated by another Number!" Girag argued. "True Girag. But, who ever said that those rules apply here? In this world?" Dumon said with a dark undertone to his voice. Girag and Alito paled in comparison to what the later did before. "Oh shit…" Alito cursed, much to the shock to the other Barians. "Alito, clean up your language." Dumon said disturbed by the sudden change in behavior. "And now, she may have the home field advantage…"

Mizar finally came back to his senses from that last maneuver. "Fine! I place two cards faced down and end my turn!" He said quickly. Finally passing the next turn to me.

Astral widened his eyes. "He's practically defenseless…" He noted. "Yeah, but he has two face down's on his side of the field. Let's just hope that those cards are nothing more than a ploy to get Alesia to back off from attacking." Jenny wanted to point out. "True. But let's not forget, her not attacking may actually save her some time before he comes up with another strategy to defeat her with. And we obviously don't need any of that happening." Astral concluded as well. However, Jenny didn't know how to counter that since logically it would make sense.

"Yeah, but if she doesn't attack, she could miss her only shot in taking out some of his life points. Wouldn't it be better if she did attack him, while he's wide open?" Yuma innocently asked. "Wrong, Yuma. Open your eyes. His field has two cards face down. That means it could be either a trap card or a continuous spell card. Either way you look at it, Alesia herself is a bit tight right now. It's a matter of having patience and not rushing to an enviable end." Kite observed. Shark nodded. "I agree…"

Yuma frowned and Astral looked on determinedly. "To attack or not to attack? That is the question. Quite and interesting duel in less than 3 turns.

TURN 3

I began to draw out my next card. "My turn, Draw!" I drew my other card that was useful, so now I began to look at what I have. All right, so far, I have three cards in my hand. And I take a quick look on my duel disk to assess the situation. And Mizar has two cards in his hand. Plus the two facedown's he placed in last turn. If I have to guess, I would say that it would be two trap cards he's got underneath. One that was supposed to protect his Tachyon Dragon. And the other power up his Tachyon Dragon's defenses, as well as protect it from destruction. But I shouldn't have to worry about his card's. There is nothing so far that he can do.

"I summon my Constellar Leonis, in Attack mode!" I declared while bringing out my beast like monster onto the field. The blue maned soldier with his blue saber attached to his right arm appeared.

1000 ATK / 1800 DEF

Mizar looked a bit baffled when he saw him. That makes no sense. Why summon a monster with that many defense points, when it would have done her better justice to have him in defense position? Unless…she is planning something else?!

"Then I will activate his special ability. Once per turn, I can summon another Constellar monster from my hand." I picked up my card and revealed it to him. "I play Constellar Sheratan!"

From the silver light, the short knight also clade in sliver showed up and posed, ready for battle, next to Leonis.

700 ATK / 1900 DEF

"Isn't that something? Two level 3 monsters already. Which means she is going to XYZ summon all over again." Dumon made note as Girag and Alito was intrigued with the duel so far. "Now I overlay my level 3 Constellar Sheratan and my level 3 Constellar Leonis!"

Once again my two monsters are building the overlay network. The burst of light appeared and revealed the XYZ monster I plan to bring out. "Now I XYZ summon, Constellar Hyades!"

Now this time a twin-bladed monster showed up in it's place and stayed next to Constellar Praecepe on the field.

1900 ATK / 1100 DEF

"This isn't good. At this rate Mizar is going to lose the duel so quickly." Dumon stated the obvious which the other two didn't want to admit.

"Two XYZ monsters in one shot." Astral stated.

"Now I will attack you with both of my monsters!" I declared, with Mizar about the prepare himself for impact. "But first I will activate Praecepe's special ability! By discarding his last overlay unit, he can once per turn increase the attack points of one Constellar monster by 1000 points! And choose to give it to Constellar Hyades!"

Hyades: 1900 — 2900 ATK

Mizar got hit pretty badly from both attacks. And while the duel was extremely short, this should be the very last time he ever thought about messing with my world AGAIN.

Mizar: 4000 — 0

I just couldn't believe it, like the rest of my friends couldn't. I won…? Just like that?

Mizar hit the ground pretty hard, and reverted back to his human form just like how he were as 'Yuri'. His body was steaming from the blast and the AR vision link disengaged immediately, stating that I was the winner. Everyone wanted to come up to me and celebrate, however, something wasn't right. Mizar began…laughing?

My mother and father came down along with Orbital to see what the situation was. And while I didn't have the time to scold them for putting themselves in the danger zone like that. Mom started to shiver. "Why do they always have to make them so evil?" She asked nobody in particular.

"Perhaps somebody in the continuity department screwed up." Jenny deadpanned. He suddenly glowed a blinding light and the ground all of a sudden shook. "What the hell is going on now!" Jenny shouted. "Everybody, we have to get out of this space, now!" My dad called out. I shook my head. "NO! You and mom have to go out. We have to stay!"

Everyone gasped. "What…?" Mom spoke out. "Are you saying that this thing is…?" Dad began. "Yes… Alesia is right. This thing is a portal created by using the energy of the kids born in this world. It must lead to the ZEXAL World." Kite stated. Mom widened her eyes. "Their energies?"

"There is no time to explain, get out!" I yelled begging them to leave. Mom and Dad suddenly gave me one last hug on their own together. Holding on to me tightly, Jenny smiled as our friends only looked somewhat confused, but accepted the scene before them. "Take care…" Mom whispered. I gave a small smile. Feeling myself trembling, I began to shed a tear. "…you two. Take care of each other."

The earthquake stopped before Orbital quickly separated us from my parents and lead them out of the way as fast as he could. "Orbital!" I called out. Worried that he wouldn't make it in time. "Don't worry about Orbital. We gotta move fast! This portal isn't going to hold up for much longer!" Kite ordered as he grabbed onto my wrist. Shark seemed a bit irked by this gesture. "But isn't anybody else not concerned about that easy win back there!?" I asked now even more worried about the situation.

"Forget about it! We'll worry about all of that as soon as we get back to Heartland City! Now move it!" Shark said desperately pulling me out from Kite's grip and shoving me into the portal screaming!

After I had blacked out, I felt myself being in a dark void. Small bits of lighting was in the distance. When I awoke I see the rest of my friends all waking up from their slumber as well. With the Barians no where to be seen.

"Ugh…where am I?" Shark asked in a daze. "Agh…who KNOWS — I just want to use the bathroom." Yuma spoke out. "Ew, no, Yuma — why can't you just keep that comment to yourself?" Jenny said with a disgusted look on her face, scrunching it up to show her displeasure in hearing that. "Seriously now, Yuma… Now is not the time…" Astral scolded.

Yuma began yawning. "Oh Come on, Astral — We've been drifting up in here for a while now."

"Then you shouldn't have been drinking all of that punch while you were at the party earlier… Ah…!" Astral stopped as he forgotten to not speak of what happened at the homecoming dance. He didn't want to remind Yuma of his experiences with heartbreak. Especially since Yuma wasn't ready for all of that yet. And when he saw Yuma's change in character, he frowned. Knowing that what he did was a terrible thing.

"…I'm sorry, Yuma…" Astral whispered.

"Don't. Astral, you don't need to apologize. I can handle it now. Really…" As Yuma had said that I wanted to cry. I wanted to cry for the pain that he was feeling. From what we all was feeling. Orbital caught up to us in the drifting space and tried to analyze where we are. "Orbital, Do you have any readings out on this place yet?" Kite asked. Orbital began to nod his head. "Y-Y-Yes Master K-Kite! It w-w-would appear that w-we A-re in some t-type of subspace between the dimensions of t-the R-R-Real World and our dimension. I am g-gathering information and tracking t-them as we speak!" Kite nodded. "Good — Keep at it then, I want to be home before dinner time."


Heartland Hospital


"AGH!" You can hear Yuma screaming from the ICU getting hammered down by nurses who's trying to get his blood sample. They couldn't do anything to him before, because they were so busy trying to treat his injuries along with Shark's. They were saying how both of them got off pretty lucky with that fall. It would have killed them if they didn't land a certain way. Shark would have been far worse off the way he landed also. The scrapes and cuts that they've endured from it was enough to bruise them.

Jenny winced every chance she got when she heard Yuma's continuous screams from being in pain. Shark was doing his best to hold it all in as well. She came over to me in deep worry. "Alesia, were in serious trouble now, are we?" She asked me nervously. I frowned at her and closed my eyes, trying not to think about it. Jenny breathed heavily before letting go. When I opened my eyes, all I did was take a seat near the ICU. "I don't know, Jenny. I really don't know. All I know is that I screwed up big time. I wished that I was more careful with my choices. While I'm being reckless and ignorant at the very same time. I should have done better than this. But no, I went on ahead and went with my heart instead of my brain! And now…now Yuma and Shark are suffering because of this."

I said before continuing. Jenny still listening in to what I have to say. "I know that everybody is saying that there isn't anything that I had to be sorry for, and how Yuma have already said that he was glad that I went ahead and saved Tori from Mizar's attack. But still and all, it wasn't my right to do so. I hate feeling sorry for myself, but I still do. Can't even change even when I try!" I got up and walked out of the area.

"Alesia! Wait a minute!" Jenny called out to me, but I left feeling like crap as usual. I decided that I needed some time alone.

A few Hours later…

"I knew that this was going to be a drag!" Shark said nearly pissed off with the situation. "I mean, seriously. Is this what I get for telling Alesia that she was NOT at fault for all of this? Damn! Where's my MP3 player…?" He started as he was looking around for it. Yuma raised his eyebrows. "How did you get one?" Yuma asked curious about it. Shark finally got it and placed the earphones in his ears. "Ever since Jenny's brother said that he didn't want it anymore. They came out with the new version of the same brand."

He finally turned it on and played the music that was supposed to come next. Suddenly you can hear spanish music playing as he was reading a book. Yuma gaped as he hears the blaring noise coming from the earphones. "Since when did you know Spanish?"

Shark never said anything as he realized that Shark had it on high. "I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up with hearing aids before he's even 30." Yuma said lastly as he turned over to the opposite side and fell out to sleep.

A few days later…


Tsukumo Residence


"…So you think that that duel was…" Yuma started. "It was a set up. They tried to get me away from you guys, so that they can steal the power of Eternia from me. I'm still shocked that I was able to get away from Mizar in time." I said nearly drained from my energy. I was called in to be checked up too, but I hated the idea of needing to be seen at the hospital when I really didn't need to. And on top of that. I think that the plot have been changed again drastically too. I'm getting sick and tired of all of this.

Kari looked at us after she was very bothered about something. "What really scares me is what the heck is happening around here." She made her concerns known. Yuma went to look at his older red head sister. "What are you saying, Kari?" He asked. "I mean, Yuma, is why in the world is all of this happening now? We had some on and off activity going on during the time at the World Duel Carnival. And we haven't had any issues ever since then." Then she pointed her index finger upwards explaining further of the problem. There is also the fact that we had an earthquake, and such in the real world. Which also means that there is a correlation between ours and theirs. Why? What is the link in all of this other than the Barians being responsible?

Further thinking about the situation, I remember about the woman in white that Cassie wrote in her diary entry. And the 'Infinite Time' thing going on as well…

"Well, the one thing that we all don't need to do, is panic." Grandma said calmly. We looked at her as she came into the living room. "Do we REALLY not need to panic?" Jenny said as she came out of the bathroom from upstairs and also came in to join us. "I mean, we went through a lot of hell trying to get ourselves back here, you know? And besides, the fact that the Barians and Yuma, Astral, Kite, Orbital and Shark was able to come with us to the real world is quite disturbing."

Kari looked to Jenny. "Exactly, That is what really worries me. The fact that we as characters of your TV show is able to enter into the real world, is so unclear. And it's quite dangerous." She said remembering everything that they've experienced. "If you guys never would have came back, who knows what could have happened to us all."

All of us remained silent thinking about our own conclusions with everything Kari said. It was true. Which was exactly why I had told everybody that we had get back as soon as possible.


The Boiler Storage Room


Alito blinked suddenly and gasped as he realized that something strange has happened. It was then that he remembered that he was in the real world with the other Barian Emperors looking for Alesia, Yuma and the others who also went there. He was assigned to find her and capture her. They couldn't be at the school anymore. So they had to be somewhere else. They are listening in to Scarlett Starling singing 'Take a Chance'.

"Hard to believe that this is the theme song to this retchet place…" Girag said bitterly. "And can you believe this? Mizar has been putting us down ever since he showed up here." He looked very sad and upset at what they were told. "He says that 'if we fail again, we're through'."No Girag looked towards Alito. "What are we're going to do Alito?"

"The answer is simple…we're going to have to succeed. So I'm going to challenge Astral and Yuma Tsukumo!" He said confidently pointing his thumb towards himself.

Girag stood up in disbelief. "Challenging them one on one? You have got to be kidding me Alito. Are you crazy?! You know what is at stake here!"

Alito narrowed his eyes at his friend's protest. "I DO KNOW! And it's because I know is why I have to do this Girag. Ever since I have tried to save Alesia's memory, I've been feeling like I'm meant to do more than just do lackey work. It's about time that I make a difference as a Barian!"

Girag widened his eyes. "You don't mean that you're going to go back and take her memories again? Do you understand that you're putting your life in danger?" He argued.

Alito rolled his eyes. "I'm not stupid Girag. Doing so would possibly kill the girl. I'm not that ruthless unlike Mizar, who doesn't care. And besides, I welcome the danger. I'm going to prove that I can out duel both of them." He spoke confidently once more. Girag, strong in his resolve to convince Alito that what he is doing is a mistake finally spoke up.

"I won't let you do it. I won't let you throw your life away."

Alito eyed him and showed that he wasn't listening. He walked out and closed the door behind him. He got up on one of the towers and smiled at the sun in the distance. He was now even more determined to do whatever it takes to beat Yuma and Astral, so that there isn't anything they can do stop them from taking Alesia and enhance their chance of changing their fate. "That fool…" Girag said before he smashed the television set with his foot. "If he screws this up, he's going to wish that he never started down this path."


Heartland High School


Eri and the rest of the class of the 10th graders started to huddle to their classes after they finished putting away their excess luggage into their lockers. Jenny and Alesia however were running very late to school. "Man why the hell did I listen to you about us not having to get to school about 10 minutes early, Jenny!"

"When did I ever said that we didn't have to get to school 10 minute's early?!" Jenny yelled back. But now we finally zoomed pass the gate and stumbled to the steps. Completely out of breath… "This is what I get for believing in unreliable source…ugh!" I complained to myself.

We hear some evil chuckles in the background and immediately froze when he caught ourselves being surrounded by the students of Heartland Academy. Who let them sneak in here during morning hours?

"Ah, you mind telling us what is it that you boys want? I'm certain that it isn't for autographs." Jenny stated. "No…" One of them said in smirk. "BUT, we have come here to capture you!" Another boasted and pointed between the two of us. I sighed and finally got my dueling gear out. "Well, then lets just hop to it! Trigonometry 102B had started and I don't want to get an F!" I yelled.

"LET'S DUEL!" We all said.


A few MOMENTS LATER…


Jenny ran for her life after I helped her defeat a few duelist from Yuma's school. And then suddenly, some type of vision showed up in my mind. I gasped loudly, before I had tripped and tumbled head first to the ground. Rolling down the hill I never had a chance to scream while increasing speed. Jenny finally slowed down and widen her eyes as she saw me continue to roll down the hill. "Alesia! Hold on! I'm coming!" Too late!

I crashed into the sidewalk boarding the park and the ocean. I think I scraped myself. But now I can hardly move! I hear Jenny rushing up to me and quickly grabbed me tightly. I hissed in pain as she continued yo pull me up.

"Agh! Jen!"

"Okay, okay, calm down. I get it that your in pain, but we got to get out of here first. Those students are going to find us!" She anxiously spoke. I nodded in agreement as she finally got me up, and rushes us out of sight. I told her to head towards the left heading out of the park. She was confused as to why she wanted us to go that way. When I explained to her about my vision, she was shocked.

"Since when did you get a vision?" She questioned. "I don't necessarily think that it was a vision, but was a piece of my memory from when I watched the show." I answered her while she was still perplexed.

As we started heading towards the storage containers at the Docks, we started hearing the cries from Yuma up ahead. "DANG IT! We got to do something!" Jenny whispered in my ear with her hot breath. " tell me something that I don't know. Seems like we're going to have no choice but to challenge someone to a duel." I claimed.

Jenny hides us between the containers so that nobody will be able to spot us. "Why do I get the Strange initiative feeling that this whole entire thing was a setup from the very beginning?" Jenny guessed.

"Because you may actually be right about this. And there is no doubt that the Barians are the ones that are responsible for all of us getting chased by Yuma's schoolmates." I said.

However, we can see that Shark and Rio are trying to clean up the trash. Bit Yuma is also caught by Ray. And he isn't looking like his normal self either. "Oh crap! We got to help them." Jenny's about to go on head until I had to stop her in her tracks.

"Jenny, no!" I warned her. "What do you mean, 'no'? We had to put an end to this before Yuma and the others getting hurt." Jenny protested. " I know exactly how you feel Jenny, but don't you happen to remember what I did the last time when I chose to go that route?"

The flashbacks of me seeing what Mizar did with that energy ball coming towards Tori, was still fresh in my mind. The aching pain I felt when it hit me. And the burning Sensational aftereffects were to touch my skin. It was not a pain I wanted to remember.

Jenny frowned and then had a look of her thinking about it. "Please, Jenny…" I begged her. She wanted to fight my decision. I can tell. But she sighed in defeat. "Okay, you win. We won't do anything." Suddenly we hear somebody familiar speak. " Well, well, well, of it ain't the Eternia holders hiding out from getting caught." We paled as we heard Girag voice above us gloating at our expense. "Ah oh." I said unexpectedly. Jenny froze even though she wanted to come up with a come back at the big bloke. We wants to run, but was cornered by the same students.

"Girag, stay out of this!" Alito' s voice now ranged in our ears. He demanded that he leaves us alone. "WHAT?! What the hell is wrong with you, Alito!" Girag judged his actions as of late. And it was gaining the attention of our friends. Astral noticed us. "Jenny! Alesia! What on earth are you two doing here?"

"Trying to get away from the kids from Yuma's school. At least now we know who was behind this." Jenny spewed of her mouth. I wanted to pinch her real hard for that last comment. But she covered her mouth instead.

Shark and Rio frowned. "What do you mean by that? Didn't you two already knew all of this before hand?" Shark questioned suspiciously. "Yeah, and I was certain that being from the real world would give us the advantage of knowing the future. And how to beat the Barians." Rio chimed in. I wasn't sure about how to answer all of that. So I kept silent.

"But Alito!" Girag begged. "Enough! I'm going to defeat Yuma and Astral by my own way. And capture Alesia for Barian World fair and square. I'm tired of cheating and bending the rules! It's about time we do this thing with honor! Unlike what that coward, Mizar, did!"

I widened my eyes at the last sentence Alito spoke. So I began questioning him. " What are you scheming, Alito? And what did you mean, by calling Mizar a coward?"

Alito eyes me from behind before he chuckled. " You mean you haven't figure it out by now that this whole entire thing was a decoy? I mean, he was the one who had stole…"

"ALITO!" Girag warned furiously. Alito silenced pointedly before again eying me and then closed his eyes with an attitude. "Anyways, its none of your business now that that's over. However, don't think for a solid minute that just because I'm helping you for now, that I'm going to let you go freely, Alesia. Once I settle the score with Yuma and Astral, I'm coming after YOU."

Rio and Tori gasped. "WHAT? Are you trying to challenge her to a duel like that guy Mizar did?"

Alito puffed up and tried to gold in his laughter. "Ptff. Yeah, right! I don't have that desire to beat up on girls unlike sick Mizar. I have my dignity. I will only duel her if she consented. I'm not the type unless I have to. She is a prize to the Barian World, not an enemy. Unlike the rest of you."

"Watch it, Alito. Your going way too far. And to effortlessly disrespect Mizar, one of our comrades like that. You really have changed." Girag warned.

Alito narrowed his eyes. "I don't need you to tell me what to do! Now get out of here! And don't show up until I have defeated Yuma and Astral. And have Alesia in my arms ready to be taken to Barian world!" I pulled back some at the shock and embarrassing comment he spoke about me like that. I felt a slight heat raise up in my cheeks.

Girag looked shocked, sad, betrayed and angry at his best friend. To choose his own path and way that isn't of the Barians values. To pick aside teamwork for independence. To be independently selfish. He closed his eyes on frustration and vanishes into many light particles.

Everybody but Jenny's and I looked surprised that the other Barian would just…left. "Wow, talk about drama." Jenny randomly spoke.

Alito huffed. "Girl, you haven't seen any kind of drama yet. After I'm done mopping the floor with all of you, your going to wish you were still back home. And Yuma, Astral, I hope you two are ready for a rematch. Because unlike last time, I will take my dueling a lot more seriously. This time, it's for keeps."

"You aren't serious about this, right Yuma?" Shark questioned his buddy. "I can't deny a challenge Shark. A duel is a duel." Astral frowned. "And there is no point in avoiding this, since we would have to duel him sooner or later. Trying to escape from him is impossible." I made it clear that in the future shall anything would happen to me, that Jenny will have to be the one to receive all of the power of Eternia I had into her. Which could also mean that I could die like Cassie did. I don't want to fail and lose my friends and my home. There is no reviving me. But, I also remembered of Jenny protesting against it when we talked about it in or talk at the hospital. And my promise to mom would be broken.

My vision changing to complete darkness, as I stood in the middle of it. I was the only light in this place. Holding onto a large mirror in my left hand as it was slightly held, I suddenly felt the urge to drop it as my body felt stiff. Couldn't move from the fear of the thought of me having to sacrifice my life for this.

"Okay, Alito!" I sudden it hear Yuma say, waking me out of what I was in. "We'll duel you! And we will not lose to you or hand over Alesia to you." He challenged. Yet I was getting a bad feeling about this all over again. "Hold it! That last duel between me and Mizar." I began. Everyone around me was completely confused about where this was going. Alito looked at me a bit annoyed for interrupting. "What about that duel?" He questioned. "Why didn't he fight back? I know that he had much stronger cards than before! It shouldn't of ended that quickly! He never bothered to take me seriously, did he?" I accused.

Shark, Yuma and Astral eyed me carefully. "Just what in the world do you think you're doing Alesia?" Shark warned. "Well?" I continued to push the issue. Alito shrugged. "How should I know?"

"I call BS. He knows, he just doesn't want to say it, is all." Jenny believed. I nodded in agreement. Now Yuma and Astral wonders as well. "You know, now that you mentioned it. It was far too short for it to even consider a real duel. And no offense, Alesia, your good, but sometimes your good skills aren't enough." Shark pointed out. "Shark! How dare you!" Jenny shouted, which caused him to flinch. "It's okay, Jenny. He's only speaking his mind. He has a point. That's the whole reason why I'm questioning Alito." I said looking back at the now confirmed Barian.

"Why ask me? You should be asking Mizar himself. He's the one who decided to agree to duel you last time. It wasn't me. I'm responsible for my own battles. But if Mizar chose to cower down and hand over the duel to you, like that, then that was entirely on him. Our goal was to capture you and that was it! Perhaps you need to stop making it out as if you weren't good enough to defeat him. After all, it was you who chose to use your trap card!" Alito pointed at me, now accusing me of using that card 'Broken Line'. I admit that it was strong. But I never knew that it was going to be successful.

Shark sighed. "He has a point. I never anticipated that you were going to use that card, either. Were you really doubting you're dueling skills this entire time?" He wondered. I embarrassingly looked away. Guess I got my answer… he said in his head. We all decided to follow Alito to a spot that can give Yuma, Astral and him some privacy and space. However, I was very concerned being around Ray for some reason. He was giving me the creeps!


At a different location…


"Enough of this! It's time we duel, Yuma and Astral!" Alito spoke. "Fine, Alito! Get set to get decked cuz it's time to feel the flow!" Yuma declared while preparing to duel. Alito had done the same, and all of us decided to stand back because he used a Barian Sphere Field to power himself up in his Barian form, since he can't retain much power in his human form. "I can't believe that this may be going like how it was in the show…" I whispered. Jenny caught on to what I said. "Alesia…is your memories still hazy?" She whispered as well. "Yes… And I don't know if and when I will get them back. I don't understand what happened to them. Plus, if what Alito said is true about me using a strong card, then that can only mean one thing. I'm going to have to step it up with my dueling."

Both Alito and Yuma started their duel and I have yet wondered what turn of events will soon happen as Jenny and I continue our adventure here in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh ZEXAL.

The next chapter will pick up directly from this last scene. Thank you everybody for being extremely patient with me. There is a lot going on and I'm trying to balance everything else out. But don't fret. I suspect that we only have a few chapters left of the story that might shock everybody.


In the Real World


Walter and Julie had finally told the Spencer's that Jenny and the others have left with Alesia. They explained that there was a major problem during Homecoming Dance, and that most of the students made it out all right. They happened to have this brought up on the news for a breaking news report. However, they couldn't get the full story due to the fact that Walter's connections have finally pulled through. But now it was a matter of what to do with the ones who were directly involved.

"We lost our daughter again to that world…" Greg has spoken since Anna was busy getting the kids to bed. "Those people do not have a shadow!" Grandma Yulia had interrupted. Her yelling in a stern voice and her confident stance showed that she was meaning business this time around for Walter and Julie to see. "This is what happens when one chooses to get far too deep into things they shouldn't. Now the girls have gone along with them. This will only bring nothing but disaster!"

Greg frowned now. "Yulia, you have to be tired by now. You haven't been to bed since yesterday." Yulia narrowed her eyes at him as she slowly walked towards him. "Nonsense! I'm just fine!" She protested. "Yeah, seems like your English is just fine too…" Walter muttered in a condescending tone, leaving Julie to fling her left hand on his arm. "I heard that! This is all your fault, Walter! You shouldn't have never brought that child into your home. And now because of that choice, things have gotten grievous around here. And soon it will spread."

"How did you know about all of this, Yulia?" Julie now asked in deep shock. Yulia's lips tightened. "You just don't get it, any of you. Me knowing all about the situation is entire irrelevant now. That girl Cassie was different. I knew that ever since Little Jennifer became friends with your Alesia. There was signs that she nearly wasn't human, and yet still is. I don't know much about all of your secrets. But what I do know, is that this is becoming to be a grave problem. Just like that lady has spoken about."

Anna came downstairs after hearing the commotion. Greg knew that this was going to worry his wife now. "Mother, you still haven't really explained about their friends." Julie looked over to Anna. "Truth?" Anna nodded. "Yes, the truth about the characters that have shown up in our world. My mother has said that Reginald or Shark, Yuma, Astral, Orbital and Kite are not fully human. And therefore they cannot create a shadow from light reflections."

Everybody around them were deathly silent. "That…that cannot be true!" Julie spoke up in defense. "If they cannot create a shadow…"

"Then they do not truly exist…" Walter concluded. "Exactly…that is why Jenny and Alesia MUST be returned back here to the real world and their true reality at once! They cannot be in a world longer than what cannot even be their reality. I knew of this many years ago before Jenny was even born. I met a woman who had to be at least 21 years of age. Yet she was so youthful, I couldn't even believe of what she actually told me her age! She has told me that she has been traveling far and wide for new experiences, since she felt always trapped where she came from. This was back when I made that trip to England after Simone died."

"Simone?" Walter asked confusingly. "Yulia's ex husband at the time before they had got together and remarried before he died. His son from his marriage became a Pastor at a church in Nashville, remember?" Anna now looked at her husband, who nodded now in remembrance of the kid. "Oh yeah, he came to our wedding when he was still studying at the time. But what does this woman have to do with Alesia and Jenny?"

"Pay attention, I am getting there. She has said that many years from then, there would be a class between darkness and light, and the dimensions will somehow resonate with one another. And that somebody I knew will either save it or destroy it. But it will not happen right away, for something else must happen before that time. But when it does come, do not forget that it is not the true reality, and all must come to past before everything can be fully restored. But many sacrifices must be made in order to maintain balance." Yulia finally ended. "So that would mean…" Julie started. "That what is happening now would cause time to be reset or something. Similar to what had happened many years ago!" Walter got up and looked towards the older woman. "Yulia, please tell us. This woman — does this woman have a name!"

Julie smiled. "Of course, if we find out who she really us, we can find a way to save our kids!"

"You can forget it, there is no way to even contact her." She spoke up frowning. "Wha…WHY!" Anna begged for an answer. "Anna, darling, you must no by now that that encounter was a one time thing. I supposed that I have forgotten to tell everyone that once she told me what she spoke of, some man have come up from behind and startled me. Asking me if I was all right? By the time I questioned him and turned back around to face the woman, she wasn't there. It was almost as of she had just disappeared. No Name, no nothing; Not even the place she claims she came from."

Walter sighed in defeat. "So in other words, a dead end. She must have known about this all along. She knew that something was going to happen to one of our daughters. Most likely Alesia… And since Jenny and her are friends, then it would make sense why she would approach you."

Walter's cellphone began to ring on vibrate. Yulia, Anna, Greg and Julie looked at him as hope to get some answers. He knew who it was, so he answered right away. "Speak to me…"

"Walter, we have some news regarding the condition of the students that were found at the school. Including the case with Cyan and his mother. In fact, we have been receiving a bunch of new information lately, since that last outburst of energy." Walter was pleased so far of what he was hearing. He was starting to gain some hope in his eyes, and the others around him knew it by how it shined in the lighting. "So, what do you have so far Taylor?"

Taylor cleared her throat. He knew that she had to be around for this. "Well, really all depends on what you want to hear first." She started. He was about to reply until his eyes traced back to Julie and the Spencer family. Anna decided to speak to her mom. "Mom, why don't we go to bed. It's late, and Walter is very busy. Julie, your welcome to stay over night if you want."

Julie smiled at the offer and shook her head. "I appreciate it An, but no. It's fine, I would be better off staying at home. We'll talk tomorrow after work." Anna agreed as did Greg, and Walter took that as a cue to leave. Start off with the less complicated stuff, please. Hey, I'll drop you off back at your house Jules." He said motioning towards the door. Julie said goodbye, and walked out of the front door, before he turned back around. "Anything I get, I will relay back."

Greg nodded and shook hands with him. "For all it's worth, I'm sorry for our judgement of you. Your changed behavior has truly inspired me to become a better father for my children." Walter was flattered and sighed lightly. "It's all in a day work, Greg. Take it one step at a time, and try not to be so hard on yourself. They seemed so well rounded already."

After that, Walter walked out and started the car. He dropped Julie off, who was wondering if he was going to stay over. "I can't. The information that they have sent me must be analyzed before the government catches wind of what we're doing and is going on. We already almost blown our cover out there tonight."

"It's just…there is no reason for you to be at your house by yourself like that all the time." Julie stated with concerned. Walter gave a sideways smirk. "Well isn't that also the reason why I'm around most of the time, even for the sake of our daughter?" Julie froze and remained silent. Walter sighed. "Julie, listen to me. What we had in the past was all in the past now. I don't want us to get so caught up into each other, that both of us will tend to forget who we are and now have become. Our daughter needs us, yes. Even more so now, that Cassie is no longer living amongst us. But we don't deserve to get hurt again. I left because of me, not because of you."

Walter sighs exasperatedly. "I shouldn't have left you the way I did. You blamed yourself…"

"STOP IT! STOP IT WALTER!" Julie began to lose it in her anguish. "Stop it because I don't want to hear that anymore. You say that you shouldn't have left, yet you did. You broke our wedding vows, you were seeing other women, you had a family and you broke us. I always thought it was just me, or it was Cassie because of what was told to me. And now she is gone, and our other daughter is too, trying to save the world or the universe. Whatever universe it is!" She gasped. "Its horrible!"

"Jules…" Walter started and wanted to touch her. "No! Don't you dare say my name like that!" He was now silent again. He didn't know what could be going on with her lately. She really did changed. And this was starting to make Walter sad. Have I really done all of this damage? Most other couples could often care less about it once hate and resentment set in. But this… And even then, when she filed. I never got the chance to see her face. She sent in the papers and I eagerly signed. What kind of cycle and curse have I brought upon this family?!

Could this be the reason why Alesia is also reluctant about love too? I did this to her. But than again, what else do I know about her besides her name, and the past that was so long ago? Her mother was always the one who handled it when I couldn't. But I always requested tabs on her concerning school and health.

"Julie, your right. I don't have the right to call you by any other name than this or your full name. But if you really felt this way, then why keep inviting me over? If all I keep doing is bringing you pain, WHY be around me for more than I needed to? WHY! Julie, every time your in pain, I'm in pain too! I may not all the time express it, but I do. I really, REALLY DO and, and… And it wasn't your fault. Neither yours, Cassie's or Alesia's fault. Because all this time I had a problem. And I always found ways to blame it on other things or people. I never got the chance to really look at myself. My lust for other women never stopped. And now that I think about it, I wished that I was a better husband for you, and a good father to the girls."

Julie stopped crying and peeked up at Walter and something shook her. It was his wet streamed face now, blanketed in tears. "I should have gotten help! I never felt so alone before after being with you. You shined on my world in this pit of darkness inside of my mind. My heart… and the inner demons I had to face alone."

"But Alesia told us that Cassie confessed to manipulating some things."

Walter disagreed. "No…no, perhaps because of the thought of what powers she was developing, but no. I already had this desires forming for a while. I just didn't say anything and hide them well. I thought it wasn't a problem, until, you know what had happened."

Julie once again stood silent. "I suppose that this is getting ridiculous now that there isn't anything for us to hash out over. But I do mean by what I ask Julie. If I always have been causing you so much pain, why?" He repeated.

Julie scoffed. "Why else do I needed you around, Walter? You're the tech guy in this group. And until Alesia and Jenny comes back, we still need you."

"US? Or you?" He said calmly. "If we're going to be working together on this more often than usual Julie, than we need to be completely honest with each other. Especially about our feelings — because at the end of this struggle, we have to make a choice and some decisions now that I'm getting a divorce from Irina." Once again, Julie scoffs at the thought of her again. She still couldn't believe that he was married to somebody like that. She isn't the one who often is humble of the sorts from the last time she evaluated her character. If she would have known that he was going to get remarried, she would have forbidden it. That woman was not the kind of woman he needed in his life. Whatever kind of life he wanted.

"That brazen woman is the last person on my mind." Walter shrugged and then turned around. "Either way, it is something that I have to once again bare. So can you at least do me a favor?" Walter asked her now. Yet Julie couldn't help but listen. "Promise me that you won't go around dating other guys again for a while. Because I promise to do the same." He said before walking way from her from porch. Her eyes were widened with confusion, she rushed out to catch him before he got into his car.

"Wait! What are you saying to me Walter?" She questioned his motives now. Walter opened his door on the drivers side and gave her a final look. "I'm saying, that when our daughter comes home, I want to be more active in her life. I want to be the father that I know I can be for her." he frowned again. "I don't want to push you into something that we both may not be ready for again. And neither do I want to see Alesia get hurt. But either of us if we both again chose to date other people… especially, if… we end up somehow…"

"Walter… Are you… trying to confess to me?" Julie wondered yet she so desperately wished she didn't say it! But she had to. She had to know now so that she can prepare. "I don't know… I don't want to say the wrong thing Julie. Especially when I don't know how you personally feel about me. We've been hanging around each other a lot, and it always reminds me of the past. I suppose that it feels the same for you as well? It only means that we're starting to fall in love again. Whether you or I wants to admit it. But… all I know is I don't like continuing living in the past and being stag net like this."

He get's into his car and starts up his engine. Then he turned to her. "But I do need an answer from you Julie. I need to know how you really feel and want to go. It's your life, your home. And our relationship that is tied and connected through Alesia, that keeps us both alive and moving. We owe it to her to be available in her life without complications." Julie took a deep breath and nodded slowly in agreement with that statement.

"Of course…" She said with her voice almost hoarse. "You don't have to answer right away. But do think about this…seriously. Because one of us will eventually move on without the other if we don't come to a conclusion that is fair to her." He then finally pulled out of the sidewalk and drove off. His lights blinking before making a U-turn and drove off to the opposite direction. Julie sighed at this and shook her head before slapping it from both sides.

Oh, why oh why must this be so complicated!?


Dedication to Reviewers time:

Guest Reviewer from Jan 16 for chapter 48: Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! I really appreciated it and mostly write for everyone to read and enjoy. Helpfully learning and growing IRL with some powerful lessons in mind. I know perfectly well how you feel and felt, in my teen years! ^^ Reading fan fiction can be better when its bad enough we can use some novelization versions of the anime and manga we enjoy. But we only get kiddy version from scholastics or something! :( Not that they are bad. Better than none. But I fell that for those who hates fan fiction and wants it to be illegal have to contend with the fact that plenty of people enjoy those works and would like to see it expanded. It's one of the reasons I write them now. Overall, hope you get to stick around and see other crazy adventures I hope to start with new projects! Take care, and be blessed!

De hearts 26: Hisashiburi! I know it got real, I was hoping for that reaction. It was creepy but week wroth it. It gives the other character a chance to understand the dynamics of the real world, since applied physics isn't working well where their from! The further explanation of the D-Zone well be mention other stories for the Eternia Series. Which of course is hinted to 'END' soon. Cyan and the other kids soul is intact, but their energy in general was sapped very badly. However, I won't spoil what happens! Hope you can read next chapter.

Aira Aura: Thanks you for the reviews! It's been a while! Trust me, there will be some more interaction with Jenny and Shark. I see your a Jenny fan. Yeah there is going to be a LOT of drama between everybody. Yukito's origins will be explained in depth with Cara's story. But he is from our world. But how he came to conception will shock you all.

Guest Reviewer for chapter 14, Mar 6: I'm glad you found that funny! I was very uncomfortable writing that scene, but felt that it will turn into a comedic direction! ^^

Guest Reviewer for chapter 33, Apr 1: They're names are introduced in the earlier chapters. Cara, Hayley and Laurin are they're names. And Alesia/Cassie and Jenny are considered their successors in a way.

Well, everybody. That is all for now. I have many ideas for other projects. But when I will get to them is debatable. I cannot guarantee the release dates of when I will update my current stories as you may all already know. But most likely once ATD is done, BE-BL will be sort of finished as well. But what are your thoughts on this? Will the duel between Alito and Yuma still be the same, or will another plot twist emerge? Is Julie going to choose to be with going single and ready to mingle, or perhaps return back to the man who once broke her heart and set her on the path of dangerous dating and mating? How will Alesia feel about the possibilities of her parents getting back together? How will it impact her relationship between the two people who helped conceive her into the world? Will everything start to make since with the journal entries Cassie left behind? Time to find out next time.

Anyway's, love you guys! Be safe and well!
