Hello everyone! I am DragonKnight15 and I have returned once again for Christmas with a new story, another what-if story based on Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains. The first was ''Mistletoe for Two'' for anyone interested to read it you can find it in my account.
The idea of this One-Shot ''what-if'' AU story is based on Zarcmas and one of the theories Dylan aka the Youtuber Yugioh Everything had on the ending of Arc-V that Yusaku/Playmaker would SOMEHOW appeared before Zarc, duel him, and beat him with Link Summoning. Yea, I didn't believe that but it would be fun to see Yusaku duel the ''Ultimate Duelist''. That and I asked people who read and reviewed ''Mistletoe for Two'' if they wanted to see me do that. So here I am, everyone enjoy it.
This crossover story is connected to the stories ''Mistletoe for Two'' and ''Harmonic Swings'' one-shots I've done.
I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains and Arc-V but I do own the Fanmade cards.
P.S. The PS in a card is a short way to say Pendulum Scale. The duels are using the TCG/OCG effects.
Having arrived to the Xyz Dimension, Yuya and Yuzu met up with Yuto and Ruri with the two explain their Xyz Counterparts of Zarc's return.
Ruri really didn't want to believe that to be true but Yuto…
Yuya eyes him able to tell he too is experiencing his connection with Zarc.
''You've felt it too right Yuto?'' He questions him, knowing Yuto better than anyone else. Yuto eyes Yuya, knowing well he can't lie to him as he responds honestly. ''I have, but how the hell is he-''
Yuya frowns interrupting him honestly. ''I don't know but I'll handle him alone.''
This startles the Phantom Knight duelist as he responds, pulling out his ace dragon. ''Are you sure? I can lean you Dark Rebellion-''
Yuya immediately shakes his head, explaining his reasons. ''Probably not for the best. Just by experience.''
Yuto frowns knowing that too. If Yuya does use all the Dimension Dragons, it's likely that Zarc will try to take control of Yuya like he has done to all four of them.
Yuzu worries for them as she turns to her Xyz Counterpart and tries asking of her. ''Ruri, make sure-''
Ruri smiles patting Yuzu by her shoulder and ensures her calmly but confident. ''I know. You can count on me protecting Yuto.''
Yuzu giggles nodding. Both Yu Boys blush by this as Yuto remembers something pulling a card from his deck.
''Yuya.'' The tomato headed blinks turning to face Yuto who hands him another card. Yuto tells him smiling a bit. ''Take this then.''
Yuya blinks taking it and eyes it, startled greatly by this card. He's never seen it before, making him think that maybe this card was created when Yuya was separated from Yuto. In a way, this is created by their power.
''That is our bond.'' Yuto tells him smiling. Yuya smiles back, accepting the card and ensures him more than sure. ''With this, I can handle Zarc. Leave it-''
''I'm coming with you two then!'' Everyone startles and turns to see Shun approaching the group, having been told of the situation by Reiji.
''Shun!'' Yuto utters out with Ruri adding surprised. ''Nii-san.''
Shun eyes both his best friend and his only sister, recalling how he tried so hard and yet he couldn't bring them back. This time he won't make the same mistake; he will make sure they live.
''I will make sure to protect you two this time.'' He vows to them, not going to fail. Ruri blushes red nodding softly while Yuto smirks a bit nodding. Shun nods firmly eyeing Yuya and Yuzu and tells them determine. ''Let's go you two.''
Yuya and Yuzu smile nodding as the three left for the next dimension.
Arriving to the Synchro Dimension, the group is immediately greeted by Yugo crying as he hugs both Yuya and Yuzu passionately. Shun, sweat dropping, remains silent while Rin blushes really embarrassed by him sometimes.
''MAN I MISSED YOUTWO! WE GOTTA HAVE-'' Yugo starts yelling, joyful to see the two and hopefully wanting to do like dinner or hang out only for Yuzu to whack him with her fan. He falls down with his eyes spinning.
''Yugo, this isn't the time for this!'' Yuzu tells him serious gazing at Yuya to tell him the problem. Yuya sweat drops not going to upset her as he asks Yugo if he's felt anything. Naturally Yugo did and both knew why which enrages him.
''I felt that bastard, making me feel unease and darkness like back then.'' Yugo comments pummeling his right fist to his left palm, not able to forget his mistakes when letting that anger consume him up against Yuto and even Yuri when he attacked Edo and Kaito. He eyes Yuya and tells him pulling out his ace card. ''Yuya, if you're going to fight that jerk Zarc, use my Clear Wing.''
Yuya smiles not minding to borrow his strength but shakes his head telling him. ''Sorry. This time I gotta settle things with him without him trying to control us and our dragons.''
''Yea… good point.'' Yugo mutters sweat dropping that he's right but he would like to give Yuya something. Then he remembers something pulling another card and says handing it over. ''Then take this card.''
Yuya blinks receiving it and eyes it surprised as this was also another card he's never seen before and yet he can sense a strong connection between both him and Yugo.
''That's our strength together, more than enough to give that bastard trouble.'' Yugo declares grinning. Yuya smiles responding back kindly. ''Thank you.''
Yuzu giggles as Rin tells her smiling. ''Yuzu, better make sure Yuya doesn't succumb to him.''
''And you better make sure Yugo doesn't either, Rin.'' Yuzu tells her back smiling. Both girls oddly giggle going to keep their promises. Yugo grins at this telling Yuya and the others. ''Good luck guys. Give that Zarc a piece of my mind!''
Yuya smirks nodding not going to failed.
Now in the Fusion Dimension, the group arrives to the reformed Academia to speak to Yuri and Serena.
''Oh? So it wasn't my imagination then.'' Yuri, sitting rather relaxed on the ledge of a roof, says almost sounding amused that Zarc could be out there. Yuya nods as Serena however points out with her arms crossed. ''Other than his groaning, grunting and pain attacks.''
Yuri narrows his eyes rather angrily yet unease to even reply. Just no comment.
''You sure it's Zarc?'' Serena asks Yuzu not convinced that psycho is back. Yuzu isn't completely sure herself but she can believe Yuya's word as he is ¼ of Zarc. She answers her honestly. ''Well Yuya knows best that it is him.''
Serena hums that she's not wrong. Yuya sweat drops eyeing Yuri who pulls out his ace dragon, looking at it.
''So you need my Starving Venom then?'' He asks his too hopeful counterpart. Yuya smiles that he would like that card to help him out, he instead refuses explaining himself. ''Nay. I got this, just want to make sure you don't get involved.''
Yuri hums rather disappointed but reasonable since he did one tiny mistake in forcing his counterparts to become one and then that Zarc appeared. At first he loved the idea of becoming the Demon Duelist but then it became boring not being himself. Ironically that's one of the reasons why he even allowed Yuya to stop Zarc… that and since he lost to himself previously, he wanted to see if Yuya's method of strength was better than his own.
He pulls out another card, eyeing it and then calls out to Yuya as he tosses it to him. ''Catch!''
Yuya jumps catching the card and eyes it, startled as it was another card he's never seen before.
''Take that then. I had it when we were one.'' Yuri tells him as he smirks adding rather happy. ''I guess you can say that's our connection.''
Yuya, smiling, accepts the card. ''Thank you, Yuri.''
''Hmph. Just get rid of Zarc for good.'' Yuri simply says now curious if Yuya could beat Zarc. Yuya nods planning to do so.
Yuzu smiles turning to her counterpart and tries asking of her. ''Serena-''
''OH NO.'' Yuzu panics by Serena's yelling as she disputes serious about this. ''I'm coming too. Lancers fight together.''
Yuzu blinks awkwardly then leans humming at Yuri and figures Serena wants some time alone. Serena blushes angrily by her face, muttering kindly. ''If you don't mind.''
The pinkette giggles nodding. Serena sighs of relieve only for Yuri to say humming, not wanting to be alone in his very creepy way. ''I could go see that idiot and Rin-chan? Or the other and Ruri-chan?''
Shun snaps by that, not going to let this one near his sister. He's about to protest until another voice speaks up. ''He'll be fine with some company.''
The group turns to see Sora, sucking on a lollipop, and Dennis beside him.
''Sora!'' Yuzu utters out happy to see him. Sora chuckles eyeing Shun and suggest in a kiddish way. ''Dennis here can watch over Yuri.''
Shun scoffs glaring at Dennis who sweat drops heavily having flashbacks of Satellite Falcon destroying him. He gulps as Shun sighs accepting the offer. ''Might as well.''
Sora smirks eyeing the couple and asks them with a wink. ''Mind if I tag along Yuya, Yuzu?''
Yuya and Yuzu nod happy to have him along.
''Let's just hope it's not too late.'' Yuya tells himself, gripping on his Pendulum Necklace, hoping he could stop Zarc.
A day passed since Zarc defeated Blue Angel. Miyu has been knocking on Aoi's door home. No respond as Miyu calls out to her concern for her wellbeing. ''Aoi! Aoi please open up!''
Aoi has been sitting on her bed, depressed like never before and she can't recall why. She hasn't even ate or anything since last night. She's never felt like this in a long time, reminded of her empty childhood. After Miyu, she had no friends, just alone. Now it feels like she's that much-
''AOI!'' The brunette snaps out from her trance hearing her name being yelled. She gets off her bed and checks who it is, opening the door. She startles a bit to see her friend with a face of grim concern.
''Miyu-chan?'' Aoi utters out. Miyu breathes of relieve that she answer her.
''W-what are you doing here?'' Aoi asks almost puzzle and yet not sure why she's here since her mind is almost in a daze. Miyu frowns by this and responds very worry of her. ''What do you think?! Everyone saw how you- how Blue Angel tried her hardest and lost.''
Aoi freezes up, now regaining some composure of her mind. She frowns now, recalling her loss to Zarc and how she failed.
''… She tried, yes, but failed.'' Aoi mutters out in a sadden voice. Miyu frowns about to say something but she's beaten by another voice. ''Then you're giving up?''
Aoi startles up looking up to see Emma and Kengo.
''Emma…'' The brunette mutters, still very sadden for failing. Emma lets out a sigh oddly smiling at how silly this girl gets when she's down. She tells her calmly. ''I know you better than anyone so I don't need to remind you to keep fighting on.''
Aoi blushes hesitate, not sure if she can. However, Miyu didn't think so holding on her hands. This surprises the brunette eyeing her. Miyu eyes her determine, remembering her bad times when she was part of the Lost Incident but also when Aoi was forced to be away from her. Miyu still blames herself because it was Aoi who took the blow to her mistake for dropping her mother's jewelry. She hated herself for a long time for the punishment that Aoi suffered, so much that she wanted to see her again and to be strong until she could.
''Aoi, I wouldn't have the strength I had to endure when I was kidnapped if not for our bond. My desire to see you again; for us to be together like the good times, that's what held me together through that torment.'' Miyu tells her expressing her feelings for her friend, to see her again badly and make it up for all she went through. Aoi blushes red by this, trying to not cry as she missed her a lot.
Miyu, sobbing a bit, could see she wanted to cry but she's happy that she's not, showing she has so much strength in her than herself.
''And you have so much more strength than I do and a lot more than anyone else I know!'' Miyu tells Aoi close to her, admiring such a thing. She then says encouraging her. ''That's why I know this won't stop you. Even when you lose, you will get yourself right back up and keep on going.
''…'' Aoi stares silent, blushing really red. She's grateful she has people around her; she's not alone anymore. She nods, believing her friend… but she also realizes there's someone else who has more strength than her, more to endure than most of them put together.
''You're right, but I can't beat Zarc.'' Aoi admits making a determine face. Miyu sighs at least relieve she's acting like her regular self. Emma agrees with Aoi as she says. ''Nii-san thinks we can't beat him either.''
Kengo scoffs with his arms crossed, explaining himself. ''I'm avoiding facing a foe that might be too much for us.''
''But not to Playmaker.'' Aoi affirms more than sure only Yusaku can beat this Zarc. Kengo grunts by that statement but sadly that might be their only hope. Emma giggles liking the idea as she tells her. ''Go get him.''
Aoi blushes nodding as Miyu asks of her determined to come along. ''I'm coming too Aoi!''
''Miyu-chan…'' Aoi mutters but smiles accepting her help. The two friends head out to the one person who can find Yusaku. Hopefully they're not too late.
Aoi and Miyu try heading out to the Hot Dog Truck with Aoi stating it. ''We got to get to Kusanagi-san's truck to find Playmaker.''
''I hope we do.'' Miyu mutters hoping for that. She then eyes Aoi and giggles teasing her. ''Especially since you like him.''
Aoi stops and her face turns pure red, not sure how to react other than yelling at her out of embarrassment. ''MIYU-CHAN!''
Miyu giggles playfully until a voice calls out. ''HEY!''
Aoi blinks turning to see Takeru running up towards them. She smiles happily shouting back. ''Takeru!''
Takeru smiles reaching up and says glad she's okay. ''I'm relieve you're okay!''
Aoi nods softly, just realizing he must be worrying for her. After Yusaku went missing, Takeru revealed himself as Soulburner to Aoi before he went back home and the two would chat once in a while.
''Um…'' Miyu utters out really confused what's going on. Takeru blinks recognizing her and asks Aoi to be sure. ''Oh that's Miyu right?''
Aoi smiles nodding. Takeru blushes eyeing Miyu and introduces her oddly shyly but kind. ''Um hi, I'm Takeru Homura…''
He gets stomp trying to put these words better and so he tries. ''You and I were well… you know, we were taken before.''
Miyu blinks not getting it at first but then realizes it gasping out. ''You were kidnapped too?!''
Takeru nods very awkward by her reaction. He eyes Aoi and asks her. ''Are you going to see Kusanagi too?''
''We need Play- Fijiki.'' Aoi says correcting herself a bit while blushing. Takeru smirks adding. ''I was thinking the same thing.''
Aoi nods as the three headed out together to the hot dog truck, still park in the middle of Den City.
''Kusanagi-san!'' Aoi and Takeru call out from front of the truck. Soon Kusanagi and Jin come out.
''Aoi, Takeru!'' Kusanagi shouts back not surprise they would arrive. The two smile with Miyu awkwardly responding shyly. ''Um hello!''
She spots Jin. The two have been getting to know each other since she and Aoi would stop by the hot dog truck every day after school. She smiles asking him. ''How's everything Jin?''
Jin blushes very shyly though he replies back smiling. ''Well I've been asking my Nii-san to duel me but well-''
''Not the right time Jin.'' Kusanagi interrupts with the crisis they're facing. Also the fact Jin has been beaten him more than once from her practice duels.
Aoi walks up to Kusanagi, recalling how she almost lost to Zarc but then she was taken out of Link VRAINS. She asks him honestly. ''Was it you that I was logged out back when I was facing Zarc?''
Kusanagi chuckles not surprised she would figure that out, answering her. ''Well, I wouldn't want your brother to worry for your health.''
Aoi smiles softly, thanking him. ''Thank you.''
''It was nothing! Besides, it gave me a chance to experiment the program.'' Kusanagi says smiling entering the truck with the others entering inside. He then just remembers tapping on his computer as a card pops out. He then tells Takeru handing the card to him.
''Takeru, insert this in your Duel Disk just in case.'' Kusanagi advises him. Takeru nods putting it in gaining the program though he does say pretty confident. ''Probably not going to need it. The situation couldn't have gotten worst.''
Kusanagi sweat drops pressing a switch to active the screen to Link VRAINS. Everyone else stares at it and Takeru widens his eyes at what he was looking at, regretting his last words. ''Never mind.''
Akira watches from within SOL Technology of the massive change Zarc and his dragon are doing to Link VRAINS almost to the point that its data is rewritten.
''Status, Hayami?'' He questions on the situation. Hayami gulps not sure how to explain it with what the other workers found out with her rechecking. She eyes her boss and
''It's like that dragon is converting all of Link VRAINS to our systems and we can't stop it.'' Hayami explains it as best as she could describe it.
Akira frowns at this, not understanding why Zarc is aiming for. He has full control of Link VRAINS but for what reason; everyone was logged out.
Just then Hayami gets a message shocking her greatly as it's meant for Akira.
''CEO Zaizen!'' She calls out surprised. Akira eyes her and she sends the message to him explaining it. ''This is a message from the Knights.''
This didn't surprise the older Zaizen, figuring as much Revolver and his Knights would be observing this situation and having learned something from this. He checks the contents of the message and as he reads the data on it, Akira's eyes widen greatly now learning of Zarc's aim from the Knights but… no, how can this be.
''Impossible.'' Akira utters out taken back by this. Hayami blinks awkwardly uttering out. ''Sir?''
Akira tries to be calm; that is his duty. He eyes her and tries explaining. ''Whatever this Zarc is doing might be worse than anything we've faced.''
''The Knights sent me details of what this Zarc and his dragon are doing.'' Kusanagi explains to the group on his end of the situation the Knights concluded and knowing them, this is precise.
This shocks everyone with Aoi uttering out terrify. ''He's converting Link VRAINS to become part of reality.''
''That's impossible, right?'' Takeru questions never hearing of such a thing. It is one thing Hanoi tried to eliminate all technology with their Tower of Hanoi or Bohman's plot to become a godly being but this is just ridicules. Kusanagi would agree with that but that was until Link VRAINS upgraded due to whatever Ai did when he had control on it.
''Link VRAINS has evolved massive that it has connected many possible worlds.'' Kusanagi points out firmly adding out of worry. ''It's possible one of those worlds could be our reality.''
This further horrifies everyone by the threat they're up against.
''I-If that's the case.'' Miyu mutters out trying to get it until she freezes up seeing an image of that Supreme King Dragon Zarc in the real world. THAT WOULD BE BAD.
Aoi was more worry by the fact that Zarc could spread across all other worlds that Link VRAINS is connected to. Takeru gets it as he speaks up serious. ''Okay… Kusanagi, Aoi, find Yusaku. I'm going in there and see if I can beat this guy.''
''Takeru wait!'' Aoi calls him out. Takeru blinks eyeing her as she warns him from her experience from facing Zarc. ''Be careful against his Pendulums. When he sets them as Pendulum Scales, they appear on the Spell and Trap Zone.''
Takeru smiles happy she told him that, answering her kindly. ''Thank you. Heatleo might be my ace in the whole for me.''
Aoi smiles figuring he would he say that wishing him luck. ''Good luck Takeru.''
Takeru nods turning to see the rooms that Kusanagi made for him and Yusaku when they have to go into Link VRAINS.
''Thanks for keeping the rooms.'' Takeru says to Kusanagi glad he didn't got rid of them. Kusanagi smiles simply replying. ''Just had a feeling they might be used again.''
Takeru nods smiling as he enters his room, closing behind him and shouts lifting forward his active Duel Disk. ''INTO THE VRAINS!''
A light flashes from underneath the door as everyone waits and hopes he can beat Zarc. If not then-
''Um hello?'' A voice calls out from the stand. Kusanagi sighs that his job is calling him. He walks up to his post and informs the customer. ''Sorry miss, we're kinda-''
Aoi, oddly recognizing that customer's voice before, leans and peaks to the front and startles to see Ena. She looked exhausted as if she has slept.
''You…'' Aoi utters out walking forward. Ena blinks, yawning softly, as she asks. ''Have we met?''
Ryoken, with his arms crossed, observes along with his group of the data Zarc is absorbing from Link VRAINS and converting it into physical matter into reality. This is now affecting the real world, not at first but in a day or less it will.
''This Zarc is manifesting even larger.'' Vyra informs the group from their results, terrifying how this Zarc isn't even an AI no less an Ignis to do such a thing.
''Remind me to acquire his DNA from whatever remains of him.'' Genome mutters almost excited to require such DNA. Faust sighs as his comrade's desire for strong DNA and reminds him firmly. ''Right now we need to stop this. Simply logging him out is impossible.''
Ryoken hums coming to a conclusion they can't sit around anymore; they must act and get rid of this Zarc before it is too late.
''Pandor, probability?'' He questions his Anti-Ignis AI for their chances against this Zarc. Pandor knew what her master was asking but she does question him on a certain main factor. ''Without Playmaker?''
Ryoken eyes her firmly as he nods. Pandor honestly responds not well confident of their results. ''Low but possible.''
Ryoken fear that might be the case. Spectre then informs of him of someone entering the virtual world. ''Ryoken-sama, it seems Soulburner has appeared.''
Ryoken smirks not surprised he would enter in a fight like this hot headed. He then proclaims activating his wristband Duel Disk. ''Then I'll go too. Might as well make things more on our favor.''
Riding on his D-Board, Soulburner rides at top speed staring at the now darkened, red lightning skied of Link VRAINS. Even its former atmosphere was replaced with something heavy, twisted and dark. He did not like this one bit muttering to himself. ''Link VRAINS is completely distorted.''
''That should be the least of your worries.'' A voice calls out to him. Soulburner turns to see both Ghost Girl and Blood Sheppard riding on their D-Board behind him.
''Look up ahead.'' Ghost Girl tells the duelist pointing forward. Soulburner looks to that direction and there he sees in terror the large silhouette of Supreme King Dragon Zarc in data-like form, warping all other data in Link VRAINS.
''Guess he must be there.'' Soulburner states pretty sure that Zarc is there. In that same distant, they see hundreds of data-like forms of Supreme King Dragons Darkwurm, all charging at the three who dodge around them.
''Spawns from the dragon, meant to stop anyone getting close to it.'' Blood Sheppard states adjusting his blaster hand. Ghost Girl then tells Soulburner. ''We'll hold them off, you deal with Zarc!''
Soulburner smirks nodding replying as flames temporary burn around him. ''No problem! I've been burning up!''
He flies forward at top speed while Ghost Girl and Blood Sheppard hold off the spawns of Zarc.
Soulburner flies ahead as he's communicate from Aoi. ''Takeru, can you hear us?''
''I'm closing in. I should-'' Soulburner informs her about to reach to confront Zarc but gets interrupted by a shout. ''PLEASE DON'T HURT YUTA!''
This startles the Salamangreat Duelist almost falling off his D-Board as he demands. ''Woah who the heck was that?''
A screen appears showing Aoi and the others but also Ena drinking a large cup of coffee. Aoi explains it to him. ''That would be the girl I met before dueling Zarc.''
''I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SPEAKING TO BLUE ANGEL AND SOULBURNER! I MUST BE-'' Ena starts yelling panicking not believing she's meeting amazing duelists from Link VRAINS only for Aoi to calm her down with Miyu adding as she sweat drops.''Ena, focus please.''
Ena blushes shyly and embarrassed by her overreact… and the coffee. She breathes deeply as she tells everyone saddened.''This Zarc or whatever he is, that can't be Yuta! Yuta just want to make friends through his dueling. All he wants is to have people that fill his emptiness.''
Soulburner listens to this reminded of himself or anyone who suffered by the Lost Incident.
''He has parents who are never home and people treat him wrongly for the way he duels.'' Ena reveals even sadder having been there in Yuta's life as he basically had no one else. She thought maybe if she was there for him, he would be happy. She sobs expressing out, not wanting her friend the way he's become. ''All I want is to see Yuta be happy, that's all I want.''
Soulburner is silent at first but does ultimately say, getting that loneliness. ''I understand.''
He recalls how Kiku would encourage him before he met Flame. She was the only one besides his grandparents that care for his wellbeing. He can understand how Ena's feeling as he promises her determined. ''I'll do my best to bring him back to his senses!''
Ena blushes by this and nods, putting her trust on him. The screen vanishes just as another voice speaks up. ''And how do you intend to do that alone?''
Soulburner startles a bit turning to see flying right up to him is Revolver on his D-Board.
''Revolver! I guess I shouldn't be surprised you're here.'' Soulburner declares somewhat glad he's here, somewhat. Revolver then asks him looking around to spot a certain duelist. ''And Playmaker?''
Soulburner forms a frown a bit answering him honestly. ''The others are trying to find Yusaku. I'll just give them some time.''
''…'' Revolver is silent not surprised Playmaker is still not here. He then states. ''We'll do it together then.''
Soulburner smirks not expecting he would fight with him but after resolving their duel; he doesn't mind it one bit.
''For once, I don't mind the company!'' Soulburner declares passionate as the two head off.
Sitting on a throne he created, Zarc sits there in a relaxed pose. He hums smirking at the destruction he's creating but his job isn't complete yet, far from it. Frog and Pigeon shiver trapped in a cage to be used when Zarc duels to spread fear and hopelessness.
However within this body he's controlling, Yuta struggles to move. He shakes his head in pain by Zarc's will, questioning if this is even what he wants.
''This is what I want… right?'' He questions himself, never wanting to bring this type of despair to those who ever asked for it. Sadly for him the shadow form of Supreme King Dragon Zarc appears before him, laughing at this.
''You've become strong, you will become even stronger!'' Zarc tries convincing him evilly. Yuta wanted to believe that but Ena… she wouldn't-
Suddenly Zarc takes control, sensing new challengers coming. He looks up and sees both Soulburner and Revolver arriving.
''Oh? More worms wish to challenge me. How wonderful.''
Both duelists leap off their D-Board, landing right before the Demon Duelist. Soulburner is the first to speak up furious at what he's done to the virtual world. ''You have some twisted sense of mind to wrap Link VRAINS into this!''
Zarc chuckles by his reaction simply replying in a darken voice, proud of his remodeling of this world. ''This will become my new world I shall control before I take the other dimensions!''
''What are you speaking of? What's your aim?'' Revolver immediately demands, finding this man truly insane. Zarc glares by his demands and simply responds coldly. ''Destruction and conquest, what else?''
Revolver glares not expecting he would come across such a being worse than an Ignis but there's a first for everything.
''I've studied you, Zarc, and you're even more dangerous than an Ignis.'' Revolver proclaims serious yet calm, not going to allow his existence to go on. Zarc smirks by this as he speaks up evilly. ''Should I feel flatter by the man who was going to destroy humanity for his dead father?''
This shocks Soulburner uttering out. ''How the hell those he know that?!''
Revolver quickly answers that already aware of this information from Zarc's duels against Go and Blue Angel. ''Pandor came to the conclusion this Zarc can access all the data in the Network, able to learn things that happened within the Network, from conversations to duels.''
Zarc smirks, rather impressed someone else figure out his new skills.
''Great, so he knows us, what we are and our dueling style.'' Soulburner states not at all thrill about this. Zarc lets out a chuckle informing him cocky. ''Precisely. I am the Ultimate Duelist for a reason. I know all!''
Revolver scoffs at that comment and demands him pointing his finger at him. ''If you're so confident, then prove it!''
Zarc smirks by the challenge though he doesn't wish to take too long dueling at a time so he suggests. ''It would be boring to duel both of you, one by one. Instead I will duel both of you at the same time.''
Revolver scoffs coming to the conclusion. ''Battle Royale then.''
''If you know us so well, then you know that will be the biggest mistake you're going make!'' Soulburner proclaims determine that they will win. Zarc smirks responding as his eyes glow with a twisted grin. ''Let us see then.''
All the Lancers arrive in Leo Corporation where Reiji reveals a large transporter that will take them to the other world. He also made sure each of their Duel Disks with a special program that will allow them to enter this other world without any horrible results as well as access to return back.
Yuya turns to his allies, hesitate of letting them come with him. He questions them if they are truly sure. ''You guys all sure about this?''
Gongenzaka steps up first and tells his close friend with a strong smile. ''As the proud man that is Gongenzaka, he never leaves his friends behind.''
''Besides if we don't come, you'll probably struggle more against Zarc.'' Shingo adds shrugging his shoulders with a small smirk. Yuya blushes as Yuzu smiles without saying a word that by having all us here, Yuya isn't fighting alone.
''Everyone…'' Yuya utters, joyfully for having them all beside him. He looks at his deck, having not just his strength but everyone else's including his other halves. Smiling confident, he announces certain in himself. ''Let's go!''
Everyone nods as they walk into the portal.
''Zarc, I won't let this go on. I'll bring you back to your senses for good.'' Yuya tells himself as he and his allies travel to the dimension where Zarc awaits and hopefully where they can stop him for good.
The Vrains writers and directors really MISSED out on how well Aoi and Miyu could support the other. I would have loved to see the two help each other out, like Miyu inspiring Aoi to keep fighting when Akira was unconscious and Ai still on the loose… maybe Aoi inspires Miyu to try dueling, probably Aoi giving her Trickstar deck to Miyu like a part of her goes to her. HMM… Real shame.
SO… Soulburner and Revolver vs Zarc… hmm… I had complains how for the final Bohman duel should have been Playmaker AND Revolver, tag dueling a 2v1 duel but instead it became another Playmaker solos Bohman and even though the duel was INTENSE… it was STILL boring up to the point of Ai's ''sacrifice'' and Firewall Dragon Darkfluid. SIGH.
And also two worlds are about to meet.
Also I got sick and I blame a BIT on this story, just a bit.
