I don't own ARC-V, but I DO own this story! Enjoy!
"So that's what happened." concluded Aren. The War Eagle had just finished giving a summary of the events in the warehouse with him, Yuto, and Sylvio to Shark, Rio, and Shay.
"So this kid had no clue what you were talking about when you asked him about Duel Academy, is that right Yuto?" asked Shay emotionlessly.
"Right, but this kid was dumber than dumb." said Yuto, with a hint of mockery. "He claimed to be the best that LID had to offer, but I beat him in three turns."
"So does this mean that Duel Academy really has no ties to the Standard Dimension, other than the fact that this is the place where the Professor originated from?" asked Rio carefully.
"I wouldn't assume anything just yet." said Aren.
"And why is that?" questioned Shark, the elder Kastle sibling giving the War Eagle an inquisitive look.
"Like Yuto said, this guy was clearly a person of little to no importance at LID, no matter how much of a big hotshot he claimed to be." said Aren. "A person with such little position in LID would have no knowledge of any potential ties between LID and the Fusion Dimension."
"Okay, so then we go for the higher-ups, just like we planned." said Shay, turning toward the ladder to exit their bunker base.
"Hold up Shay, I'm tagging along for this one." said Shark, the purple-haired duelist following the eldest Obsidian sibling out of the bunker.
As Aren watched the two disappear, Soarnight Sniper's spirit appeared next to him. 'You didn't tell Shay about that Lulu-lookalike that you and Yuto saved from Sylvio and his posse of losers. Why not?'
'I am not getting Shay's hopes up.' thought back Aren dismissively. 'If that girl really isn't Lulu, then who is she? And why does she look exactly like my sister? Besides, I need to figure out why her bracelet teleported Yuto away. The others were suspicious when he came back a full 15 minutes before I managed to get here last night. Even though Yuto and I were able to give the three of them a suitable excuse, it won't work again. So I need to get to the bottom of things before I pull Shark, Shay, and Rio into the loop.'
'But you're not putting Yuto in the loop either, are you?' questioned Soarnight.
'No, I'm not. I'm still concerned about the roar that Yuya's dragon gave when his duelist showed up at that warehouse.' replied back Aren mentally. 'I didn't tell Yuto about it, but I need to figure that out too before he becomes suspicious.'
'Speaking of suspicious, if you start poking around places you shouldn't go and keep all these secrets from those four, you're going to lose their trust, and in a foreign dimension that may or may not be allied with our enemy, with no way to return home for the time being, losing the trust of the only familiar faces you have is the LAST thing you want to do.' warned Soarnight.
'Yeah...I know.' said Aren, mentally grimacing.
"Ughh...those two." groaned Rio, stomping her feet. "Honestly I can't tell which one is more annoying...no offense Aren."
"Oh you're absolutely right." agreed Aren, nodding at the female Kastle's statement. "Even though I knocked some sense into him in Heartland, it feels like he's just going back to how he was before, and this time I don't think beating him in a duel is going to get through to him. At least your brother is more rational than Shay."
Rio then turned to Yuto, who was deep in thought. "So are you going to do some more surveillance?"
"Huh? What?" said Yuto in a hurried daze. "...Oh...yeah...I was going to watch the tower from some different areas in the city and see if I can get a good angle on Declan Akaba's office."
"Okay, I'll stay here and watch the area for any suspicious characters." said Rio.
As Yuto began exiting the bunker, he turned to Aren. "Are you coming with me Aren?"
"Yeah...just give me a couple of minutes and I'll be out." said Aren. Shrugging, the Phantom Knight duelist ascended the ladder and vanished from sight. Aren then turned to Rio, who was once again surveying the various cards left behind on the shelves. "I need a favor Rio, and it needs to stay between the two of us."
"Sure. What do you need?" said Rio.
"I need you to learn everything you can about that Yuya guy's monster, Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon." said Aren, Soarnight Sniper's spirit reacting in shock.
"...I'm not following Aren." said Rio slowly. "What's with the sudden interest in the dragon of Yuto's lookalike?"
"Just do it for me, please?" asked Aren politely. Rio studied the War Eagle's eyes for a moment, looking back and forth between his normal eye and his mechanical one for nearly a minute, before sighing in defeat.
"Okay, but you owe me...again." said Rio.
"I don't owe you again." said Aren, narrowing his eyes. "Just because I suggested that you announce Shark's fear of onions over the loudspeakers at the four branches doesn't mean I dared you to do it. You chose to do that, I didn't force you, and as hilarious it was to see Shark embarrassed...I don't owe you for that." With that statement, Aren began ascending the ladder to join Yuto outside.
'Why DO you want Rio to investigate Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon?' questioned Soarnight, the WIND-attribute Enigma Eagle Xyz Monster's spirit ascending along with Aren.
'I need to see if Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Yuto's Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon have any similarities.' explained Aren mentally. 'I used to think I knew everything about Yuto's ace, but after coming here I realize that I may in fact be completely wrong. If those two dragons indeed have a connection between them, we need to know about it and what it means for the safety of not only our mission, but for the safety of Yuto as well.'
'Yuto's safety? And what do you mean by that?''
[Later that Day]
"Well...today has been productive." said Aren, yawning. He and Yuto had been poking around the nooks and crannies of Paradise City that had good vantage points of the Leo Duel School tower and had found several different good spots. "Shall we call it a day and head back?"
"Hold up Aren." said Yuto, holding out his hand. The War Eagle turned to see that the Phantom Knight duelist had stopped and was looking at the ground.
"What's up Yuto?" asked Aren, turning to his friend.
"There's something I need to do before I head back…" said Yuto, a hint of trepidation in his gravelly voice. "I want to try and find that pink-haired girl and see if she really is or isn't Lulu."
Aren sighed inwardly. He really did know Yuto too well. Many times during Duel Academy's assault, when the Resistance was forcing the last of the Fusion forces into retreat, Yuto would leave the battlefield to check to see if Lulu was alright. He knew that the two of them were pretty much dating, even if they hadn't officially been calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend.
"What if she's not Lulu, Yuto?" asked Aren. "If she turns out not to be my sister and your girlfriend, what then? Will you keep stalking her from the shadows?"
"If that girl turns out not to be Lulu, then I'll keep an eye on her." said Yuto shortly. "I made a promise to myself during Duel Academy's attack that I would do everything it took to protect Lulu from being turned into a card. I couldn't stop those Fusion freaks from taking her, but I can do my best to keep that girl out of harm's way."
"What do you mean harm's way?" inquired Aren.
"No doubt the public will take notice of our operations, even if they do not know who is causing the disappearances of the Leo workers." explained Yuto. "If that girl becomes too curious, she might end up in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"Or Shay might see her and get the wrong idea." added Aren.
"Yeah...that too." muttered Yuto, thinking of Aren's brother.
After a moment of standing in silence, Aren shuffled his feet. "Alright then Phantom Knight, let's go find this girl." Yuto looked at the middle Obsidian child in surprise.
"Really?" asked Yuto, as if asking for confirmation.
"I want to know for sure if she's Lulu or not too." said the War Eagle, his mechanical eye turning up to the sky. "Besides, who knows what trouble you might get yourself into all alone out on the streets." Yuto huffed like a child, before giving a small smile of amusement.
"Alright then Mister War Eagle." said Yuto in a slightly mocking tone. "Let's find this girl."
[Meanwhile]
Shay was currently standing firmly in an alleyway in the far edge of Paradise City, facing off against a rather flamboyant looking LID employee with brown hair that overcropped his golden bangs. The employee wore a loose-fitting purple kimono-like shirt and black pants. He wore an orange Standard Dimension duel disk with a light purple blade. He had no cards in his hand or facedowns on his field, and the only monster on his field was the Fusion Monster: The Last Warrior from Another Dimension. (LV. 7; ATK: 2350, DEF: 2300; EARTH)
SHAY LP: 3500
MARCO LP: 850
On Shay's field were three copies of Raidraptor Vanishing Lanius and two facedowns. While he also had no cards in his hand, he wore an expression of utter hatred mixed with an aura of extreme coolness.
"Who...who are you?!" cried out Marco in horror. "What do you want from me?"
"Nothing much." replied Shay simply. "Just your soul trapped in a card, Fusion freak! It's my turn!" Drawing his card, Shay's eyes narrowed underneath his goggles. "I Overlay my three Vanishing Lanius's in order to build the Overlay Network!"
"No you don't!" cried out Marco, his confidence rising slightly. "As long as my Fusion Monster is on the field, neither one of us can Normal, Flip, or Special Summon any Monsters!" As he said this, The Last Warrior gained a brown aura, which then surrounded Shay's feathered flock, preventing them from flying into the Overlay Network.
"I activate the Trap, Raidraptor - Shutdown!" said Shay, his right-most facedown flipping upward. "With this, since the Special Summoning of a Raidraptor Xyz Monster was negated, in exchange for your Monster not being able to be destroyed by battle this turn, my three Main Deck Raidraptors gain attack points equal to half the difference in our Life Points!"
"Wait, that means-!" shouted Marco in horror.
"Yes, you are aware of what happens now." said Shay. "My Vanishing Lanius trio will now grow by leaps and bounds!" (Vanishing Lanius #1,2,3 ATK: 1300 - 2625)
"No! Wait! Have mercy!" cried out Marco, tears streaming from his eyes.
"Did your company's allies ever show us mercy?" said Shay softly, causing Marco to crock his head in confusion. "Wipe him out! Vanishing Lanius trio, attack this Fusion user's Monster!"
Marco screamed as the three attacks sent shockwaves through the air, flinging him unconscious into a concrete wall behind him, which was marked with several slashes from Shay's Raidraptor trio.
MARCO LP: 850 - 525 - 200 - 0
WINNER: SHAY
Shay approached the terrified form of the now conscious-again LID professor and pressed a button on his Duel Disk, which released a blue light. Marco evaporated into a shower of blue sparkles, completely disappearing from the ground. A second later, a blank card popped out of Shay's Xyz Dimension Duel Disk, before displaying a picture of Marco holding his hands in front of him in horror.
"One down...however many to go." muttered Shay, pocketing the card.
[At the Same Time]
At the opposite end of the city, Shark was currently engaged in a duel against a female LID professor with curly orange hair that wore a navy blue business dress. The woman currently had no cards in her hand, but had one facedown and one monster: Crimson Sunbird (LV. 6; ATK: 2300, DEF: 1800; FIRE)
On Shark's field was his signature Xyz Monster Bahamut Shark (RANK 4; ATK: 2600, DEF: 2100; OU: 2), and while he also had no cards in his hand, he wore an expression of extreme smugness mixed with an aura of confidence, as if he already knew the outcome of the duel.
SHARK LP: 2800
CHAUNTELLE LP: 1100
"I'm up now!" said Shark, drawing a card from his Duel Disk. Looking it over, he grinned maliciously. "I activate Rank-Up-Magic High Tide Force!" A Spell depicting a glowing WATER-attribute Monster leaping out of the ocean appeared in front of the older Kastle twin.
"Rank-Up-Magic?!" said the LID woman in confusion and slight fear. "What does that do?!"
"With my WATER-attribute Bahamut Shark as the target, High Tide Force ranks-up my Monster and summons a Shark Monster one rank higher!" Bahamut Shark turned into a stream of blue light, which dove into the Overlay Network portal, which released a massive blue column of light into the air. "Unknown roar of the ocean! Rise from the trenches of the deep with the force of a cascading waterfall! Go Rank-Up Xyz Evolution! Appear, Bahamut Sabre Shark!" A white and blue dragon-like shark nearly identical to Bahamut Shark appeared in front of Shark, but only it now had six wing-fins instead of three, and each of them were serrated like a sawblade. (RANK 5; ATK: 3000, DEF: 2500; OU: 3)
"What is that thing?!" cried out the LID woman in horror, stumbling back onto the ground.
"A Monster that's very hungry...hungry for your soul!" said Shark hotly, pointing at the LID lady. "I activate Bahamut Sabre Shark's special ability! By using one Overlay Unit, your pathetic little phoenix-wannabe is transformed into one of Sabre Shark's Overlay Units! Go Trench Divine Soul!" The six wing-fins on Shark's Xyz Monster suddenly turned into tendrils of blue light, which wrapped themselves around Crimson Sunbird, causing to shriek loudly. The Fusion Monster was then turned into a blue orb of light, which then flew over to Bahamut Sabre Shark and began orbiting the WATER monster.
"Crimson Sunbird, no!" cried Chauntelle in shock.
"There's more!" said Shark. "Now until the end of the turn, Bahamut Sabre Shark gains attack points equal to that of your Crimson Sunbird!" (Bahamut Sabre Shark ATK: 3000 - 5300)
"I activate the Trap Card Solar Flare!" said Chauntelle, a card depicting a fiery wave being released from the Sun appearing in front of her. "Since my FIRE-attribute Monster left the field, your Monster is destroyed, and you take damage equal to its attack points!"
"High Tide Force's additional effect prevents my Monster from being destroyed by your Spell and Trap cards on the turn that he's summoned!" countered Shark, the Trap dissolving into a shower of yellow sparkles. "Bahamut Sabre Shark, attack her directly with Dragon Shark Slash!" Bahamut Sabre Shark's claws glowed marine blue, slashing the LID professor with them, causing her to scream in pain as the claws dug into her skin.
CHAUNTELLE LP: 1100 - 0
WINNER: SHARK
Shark approached the sprawled form of the LID instructor, before tapping a button on Duel Disk. A beam of blue light hit Chauntelle, whose body dispelled into a shower of blue sparks. A blank card slid out of Shark's Duel Disk, before displaying a picture of the unconscious Fusion teacher after a few seconds.
"Now, where can I find an envelope for this?" said Shark to himself.
[You Show Duel School]
Per Aren's instructions, Rio had begun investigating Yuya's Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon to try and find any similarities between it and Yuto's Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon. Her investigation took her to You Show Duel School near the heart of Paradise City. According to the article that Aren had been hit with while surveying the city the other night, this jack-in-the-box style school was where Yuya Sakaki and other Duelists studied to become Entertainment Duelists, or "Dueltainers."
RIo was currently watching from across the street a duel in progress between Yuya and a student of LID called Dipper Orion. Apparently Yuto and Aren's little skirmish with the LID student Sylvio Sawatari had led the higher-ups at LID to believe that it was actually Yuya who assaulted Sylvio. So in response, the chairwoman of LID, a woman named Henrietta, had demanded a three-round duel faceoff between three representatives of LID and You Show. If You Show was victorious, the charges against Yuya would be dropped, but if LID was victorious, then You Show would become part of LID, and Pendulum Summoning would become standard curriculum for all LID students.
Currently things were not looking good for Yuya, who had been driven into a corner by Dipper's Constellar Xyz Monsters, and while Rio admitted his skills as an Xyz user were impressive, she was less than impressive with Dipper's sadistic tactic of returning Yuya's Monsters to his hand with the special abilities of his Constellar Pleiades (RANK 5; ATK: 2500, DEF: 1500; LIGHT; OU: 0) and Constellar Ptolemy M7 (RANK 6; ATK: 2700, DEF: 2000; LIGHT; OU: 1) right when it would the most dangerous for the Pendulum user.
"This Dipper guy is out of this world crazy…" muttered Rio, monitoring the duel through a pair of binoculars as Yuya continued his turn.
YUYA LP: 200
DIPPER LP: 3500
"Swing far, Pendulum! Carve the arc of victory!" cried out Yuya. "My monsters are ready to swing into ACTION!" A portal opened above Yuya, which dispersed two lights, revealing a magician monster Yuya called Stargazer Magician (LV. 5; ATK: 1200, DEF: 2400; DARK), and the main reason Rio was there: Yuya's ace Monster Odd Eyes (LV. 7; ATK: 2500, DEF: 2000; DARK). In addition, a Monster that resembled a mixture of a lynx and a trampoline was already on Yuya's field. (LV. 2; ATK: 300, DEF: 300; EARTH)
"So both Odd Eyes and Dark Rebellion are DARK-attribute Dragon-type Monsters with 2500 attack points and 2000 defense points." noted Rio.
"I activate Performapal Turn Toad's Pendulum ability, which will let me flip Stargazer Magician's attack and defense points! Get turning, Turn Toad!" called out Yuya.
"Pendulum ability?" muttered Rio in confusion, looking to where Yuya was pointing. Her eyes widened as she saw a toad wearing a circus-like outfit in a pillar of blue light, a number 3 below it. Turn Toad glowed as Stargazer's stats flipped. (Stargazer Magician ATK: 1200 - 2400, DEF: 2400 -
"I activate Magical Star Illusion!" said Yuya, activating a Spell Card. "Now since Stargazer Magician is front and center, all Monsters on the field gain 100 attack points multiplied by the total levels of all the Monsters on our fields!"
"Smart move!" murmured Rio. "Xyz Monsters have Ranks, not Levels. That means only Yuya's Monsters will gain attack points! Since the combined levels of those three Monsters is 14, each of his Monsters gets 1400 attack points!"
(Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK: 2500 - 3900)
(Stargazer Magician ATK: 2400 - 3800)
(Performapal Trampolynx ATK: 300 - 1700)
"Odd Eyes attack Constellar Ptolemy M7!" shouted Yuya. "Spiral Flame Strike!" Odd Eyes unleashed a torrent of crimson and black fire, which destroyed the machine-like dragon on Dipper's field.
DIPPER LP: 3500 - 2300
"Now Stargazer Magician, attack Constellar Pleiades! Astronomy Attack!" continued Yuya. Stargazer's staff unleashed a series of lights arranged in a pattern of a constellation. The lights struck Dipper's Monster, before connecting together and ripping apart the Xyz Monster.
DIPPER LP: 2300 - 1000
"Now Trampolynx, attack Dipper directly!" finished Yuya.
"No...I'm allergic!" Rio heard Dipper say weakly. Dipper was engulfed by the bounce cat before being flung into the duel arena's chain-link border.
DIPPER LP: 1000 - 0
WINNER: YUYA
"Well that was certainly impressive." said Rio, finding herself unable to stop smiling. "I didn't learn everything about Odd Eyes, but I learned a lot about Yuya himself...he's a pretty interesting guy...reminds me of that guy Sarah talked about...what was his name again? Oh it'll come to me." Rio then walked out of her hiding spot and back toward the hideout.
Unbeknownst to her, a person wearing a black and red hoodie and red-bordered sunglasses standing outside of You Show had been watching her...keeping tabs on her just as she had been on Yuya…
[Alleyway]
"We looked around all afternoon and there's no sign of her." said Aren, panting with the exhaustion of walking around all day.
"You need to work out more." remarked Soarnight, his spirit appearing next to his master's. He then began flexing his wings like a showoff would. "Look at those muscles Aren. I tell you if you did my daily regimen you would be as strong as me!"
'If I did your daily regimen I would have two metal legs instead of one.' thought back Aren, his mechanical eye rolling in exasperation. 'Anytime I don't fly I walk. I have a good metabolism so I don't have to worry about not staying in shape. Besides, I'd rather not stoop to your level.'
"What's that supposed to mean, huh?!" shouted back Soarnight, before huffing and then vanishing from the War Eagle's sight.
"Maybe we should call it a day." said Yuto, sighing. "We can go at it again tomorrow if we want to."
"I guess." said Aren, stretching his non-prosthetic leg. "I wonder how Shay and Shark are, seeing as they started the plan and all."
"If I know those two, they'll be fine." replied Yuto nonchalantly. "I just hope Rio didn't get too bored babysitting. It must not be very exciting babysitting our hideout."
"Yeah…" muttered Aren, hiding a hint of sheepishness. Because he had asked Rio to find out any possible connections between Dark Rebellion and Odd Eyes, he was sure that the female Kastle twin had actually NOT been babysitting their below-bunker base, but had probably been wherever Yuya Sakaki had been.
"I hope you know what you're doing, keeping these secrets from the others." said Soarnight, reappearing before Aren. "You're playing a very dangerous game that could end up biting you in the tail feather."
'Well luckily for me, I don't have any tail feathers, or any feathers at all for that matter.' thought back Aren. 'But you're right. If I don't play this right, it could come back to haunt me in a BIG way…'
[Resistance Base]
Aren was currently surveying the carded LID employees that Shay and Shark had brought back with them. Having mirrored Duel Academy's Human Sealing Technology for the Resistance to use for themselves, he was looking over the cards to see not only if his work was serving the others well, but to see if Shay and Shark were taking things too far.
"Man this really sucks." said Aren after a moment. "If Standard turns out to have no connection at all to Duel Academy, you two just carded completely innocent people."
"But if they do, which is very probable," countered Shay angrily, "then we need to keep on attacking these goons so that we can get to Declan Akaba. The more people we attack, the sooner he'll come out to face us himself, and the sooner we can get Lulu back. I will do whatever it takes to rescue our sister Aren!"
"Even if it means tainting your soul so that you become that which you have sworn to fight?" asked Rio. Shay and Shark turned to the only female in the group with a look of confusion. "This isn't our home. These aren't Fusion warriors we're attacking to help save our home. This isn't even a battlefield. We have to remember that if we keep doing this."
Shay offered no response, but clicked his tongue in slight annoyance with the younger Kastle twin.
"With all the fun we're having here, I bet Kite and the others back home are having a stroll through paradise." joked Aren, thinking of his friends back home. 'Someday this war will be over, and all of us will be able to go back to the way things were...Lulu will be back, smiles will return to Heartland, and there will be no more threat of harm ever again for our people.'
[Flashback]
Ten months ago, Aren was dueling Kite in the annual Heartland Duel Invitational. On Aren's field was one of his strongest non-Xyz Enigma Eagle's, known as Braveheart Curassow (LV. 7; ATK: 2600, DEF: 2000; WIND). On Kite's field were his two signature dragons, Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon (RANK 8; ATK: 3000, DEF: 2500; LIGHT) and Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon. (LV. 8; ATK: 3000, DEF: 2500; LIGHT)
KITE LP: 1400
AREN LP: 900
"Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon, attack Braveheart Curassow!" called out Kite. "Photon Stream of Destruction!" Kite's dragon launched a massive blast of energy at the Enigma Eagle on Aren's field.
"I activate the Trap, Enigma Eagle Explosion!" said Aren, revealing a facedown card. "Since you have at least two Monsters on your field with over 2000 attack points and one declares an attack, this Trap cuts both of your dragon's attack points by the my Life Points! So Photon and Cipher Dragon each lose 900 attack points!"
(Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon and Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon ATK: 3000- 2100)
'Yes...I did it!' thought Aren exuberantly. 'I beat Kite!'
"I activate the Trap, Photon Cipher Eruption!" said Kite, a Trap of his own revealing itself. "Since both Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon and Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon are on my field, your Trap is negated, and both of my dragons then gain attack points equal to the combined total of our Life Points!" Two lights shot from the Tenjo brother's Trap, each one striking his dragons, which gained a blue aura that pumped them full of strength.
(Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon and Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon ATK: 2100 - 3000 - 5300)
"No way!" shouted Aren in disbelief, stepping back in shock. "I thought I had you!"
"Think again buddy!" called back Kite confidently, a smile etched across his face. "Now continue with your attack Photon Dragon!" Kite's non-Xyz Galaxy Eyes blasted the middle Obsidian child's Braveheart Curassow with an energy blast, causing the War Eagle to fall onto the ground with a sting in his stomach, his Enigma Eagle destroyed and his hopes dashed.
AREN LP: 900 - 0
WINNER: KITE
Kite held out his held for Aren to take, which he graciously accepted. The two shook each other's hands, before turning to the cheering crowd around them and taking a bow.
"One day I'll surpass you teacher." said Aren happily, turning to the Galaxy Eyes user.
"Keep dreaming Aren." said the Tenjo teen teasingly. "But keep working hard, and you will accomplish your dreams one day."
[End Flashback]
'Kite...I'll keep working hard to accomplish my dream, just like you told me a lifetime ago.' thought Aren to himself nostalgically. 'I just hope that you stay true to yourself while we're separated.'
{Next Chapter: Kastle Crasher}
Shark sees the pink-haired girl and mistakes her for Lulu. In order to get the Kastle twin to keep it a secret from Shay, Aren initiates a duel with him. As it progresses, Aren is shocked when Shark reveals his evolved strength, threatening to submerge him in an ocean of terror.
