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.


Akira watches with Hayami as the duel of Soulburner and Revolver versus Zarc is heating up and things still feel very unease if even those two could beat him. He has already got his call with Aoi and sent Playmaker's ally the data he needs for these possible new allies.

''I'm a little scared CEO Zaizen-san.'' Hayami expresses worrying. Akira eyes her able to tell she is much afraid but insures her calmly. ''Don't worry, those two can win this.''

Hayami blushes smiling, trusting his word. Akira faces the screen with a stern expression, hoping he's right if not only he can end this. ''What worries me more where is he; Playmaker?''


The knights watch on their end how dangerous this Zarc is even against two top duelists like their leader and Soulburner. They were confident in Revolver though the most sinister yet able to read anyone, Spectre is rather unease by this Zarc. He is similar to Lightning yet he believes entirely that he is the strongest and proving it too. It concerns him, hoping Ryoken will overcome this.


Kiku watches from her end, shaking a bit for Takeru. She has to be strong and believe he will win.

''Takeru…'' She mutters, hoping he wins and comes back safe.


Soulburner and Revolver gaze serious at Zarc who has been chuckling to himself with a sinister, ominous atmosphere surrounding him. He grins twisted as his eyes glow, almost piercing into their souls.

''Now prepare yourselves to feel my wrath!'' Zarc proclaims evilly as he will pay them back for the damage done to him.


Turn 6

Soulburner: 1800LP H: 2

Revolver: 2000LP H: 2

Zarc: 400LP H: 0


''My turn! Draw!'' Zarc declares drawing his top card and his only card too.

''You only have 1 card in your hand. What you can do with it won't help you!'' Soulburner reminds his opponent serious, confident he can't do anything. Zarc rather chuckles deeply for his assuption, simply replying. ''Is that what you think? Let me prove you wrong. From my Graveyard, I activate the effect of Supreme Dominance!''

Revolver startles briefly as Zarc's Counter Trap from before briefly appears on the field.

''By banishing it, I can add a Supreme card from my Deck to my hand.'' Zarc explainsas his trap burst into light as a card pops out from his Deck. He eyes it, eager to play it but first he says. ''But first I use Supreme Gate Infinity's effect, gaining Life Points equal to Borrelsword's ATK.''

Infinity glows towards Borrelsword as it raises Zarc's LP to 3400. Now he grins playing the card he got. ''I activate the spell, Supreme Glory!''

The card shows the image of Supreme King Dragon Zarc gathering the energy of defeated monsters it is absorbing to make itself strong. Zarc smirks explicating his card's effect. ''For each Supreme card I control while I control myself, I can draw cards for each.''

Soulburner staggers by this while Revolver scowls grim.

''I have 5 Supreme cards, meaning I can draw 5 cards.'' Zarc, smirking, proclaims as he draws 5 cards. He eyes his flawless hand.

''I set a card.'' Zarc states setting a face-down card behind his dragon before he announces. ''Supreme World has one more effect; it allows me to ignore the effect of Pendulum Summon if I control any monster while one of the scales is Supreme King Gate Zero or Infinity.''

Soulburner and Revolver stare worrying with Zarc smirking, bypassing the effect to Pendulum Summon if he had monsters on the field. The pendulum over him starts swinging as Zarc calls forth. ''Pendulum Summon! Gather at my side, my servant!''

Four lights shoot out from the Pendulum portal with Zarc announcing them. ''Appear, Double Iris Magician, Black Fang Magician, Clear Wing Magician and Purple Poison Magician!''

Emerging from the lights are his 4 magicians, striking their signature poses.

Double Iris Magician Lvl 4 PS: 8/8 ATK: 1500 DEF: 1000

Black Fang Magician Lvl 4 PS: 8/8 ATK: 1700 DEF: 800

White Wing Magician Lvl 4 PS: 1/1 ATK: 1600 DEF: 1400

Purple Poison Magician Lvl 4 PS: 1/1 ATK: 1200 DEF: 2100

''Come forth, the circuit that leads to supremacy!'' Zarc shouts raising his hand up and creates the Link Portal with his power alone. Revolver glares as Zarc announces. ''Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning is 2 or more monsters! I set Double Iris, Black Fang, Clear Wing and Purple Poison Magicians in the Link Markers!''

All four magicians become hurricanes shooting into the Top-Right, Top-Left, Bottom-Right and Bottom-Left Link Markers.

''Circuit combine!'' Zarc shouts as he chants proudly. ''Dragon that links to greater power! Lead me and your kin to a suitable dimension! Link Summon! Link 4! Dimension Ruler Link Dragon!''

Emerging by blasting through the Link Portal is Yuta's dragon letting out a powerful roar, echoing across the network.

Dimension Ruler Link Dragon LINK-4, ATK: 2500, Arrows: Top-Left, Top-Right, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right


As they watch from their side, Yuzu turns and startles seeing Yuya gasping in pain as his eyes flash red, on and off like a light-bulb.

''Yuya!'' She yells out comforting him. Yuya pants gazing at the screen of that dragon, no doubt this is Yuta's which means it is another dragon connected to Zarc too.

''Are you okay?'' Yuzu asks him with Yuya nodding and asking. ''What is that dragon?''

Aoi blinks at that with Miyu telling him. ''That's a Link Monster. You don't know what it is?''

Yuya shakes his head and responds. ''No but that dragon has a strong connection to Odd-Eyes.''

Reiji realizes this the moment Zarc is controlling another much like Yuya, stating it. ''A Fifth Dimension Dragon, another part of Zarc. So Yuta is another part of Zarc for this dimension.''

This startles the group with Serena speaking up. ''But how? Zarc only had 4.''

Reiji did not reply as he isn't sure. The only theory he has is that this fifth version of Zarc and Ray since Ena is identical to Yuzu and Serena were created when Zarc was defeated. It still doesn't add up much but the main point is to stop Zarc soon.

''Reiji, how long!'' Shun demands able to tell Yuya needs to get to that Link VRAINS so he beat Zarc for good. Reiji adjusts his glasses responding calmly as he's working on Yuya's Duel Disk to work into Link VRAINS. ''We're almost done. Though I am amazed by this technology. Their duel disks are nothing close to what we have and yet they're almost similar.''

Yuya sweat drops wishing he could find this enjoyable but right now he's more concern about the fight. Aoi eyes him, still not sure if he can beat that Zarc other than Yusaku. Still while Kusanagi tries locating him, they have no choice.

''Yuya, are you sure only you can beat Zarc?'' Aoi questions the tomato headed if he can really beat the enemy. Yuya hums thinking about it.

''Not sure to be honest…'' He starts saying aware Zarc is basically the real version of himself but this doesn't change anything proclaiming. ''But I have hope I will because what me and the real Zarc want is to bring smiles through our dueling.''

Aoi startles by that comment, muttering softly. ''Smiles… through dueling?''


Zarc laughs evilly now having his Link Dragon in the duel. The dragon roars in pain controlled by the Supreme King Dragon's will.

Revolver frowns as his Topologic Gumblar Dragon's effect can't work since Zarc has no cards in his hand.

''With my Dimension Ruler, you have no chance to win!'' Zarc decrees proudly by his perfect field. Soulburner glares calling him off. ''Oh yea prove it!''

Zarc simply grins responding. ''Gladly.''

He banishes the spell he used earlier and reveals. ''If my opponent controls more monsters than I do, I may banish Supreme Glory from my Graveyard to Special Summon 2 Supreme King Dragons from my Extra Deck or Graveyard to my field and treat their summons as their Type of Monster Summoning by banishing the required monsters face-up in my Extra Deck!''

Soulburner staggers by this meaning he can summon more monsters now.

''I banish the Level 4 Tuner White Wing Magician and the Level 4 non-Tuner Black Fang Magician for a Synchro Summon!'' Zarc proclaims banishing his two magician face-up from his Extra Deck. White Wing becomes 4 green rings surrounding Black Fang who becomes 4 stars.

"Kin with wings of light. Strike down your enemies with your sharp wings! Synchro Summon! Level 8! Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing!" Zarc chants as the stars through the rings glow and expand as a new monster emerges from them.

The monster resembles Clear Wing Synchro Dragon except it has green glowing lining across its body similar to Zarc while the dragon looks more vicious and angrier.

Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing Lvl 8 ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000

''I banish Double Iris and Purple Poison Magicians for a Fusion Summon!'' Zarc continues as his two magicians meld together within the Fusion portal.

''The vicious fangs who devours all in its beautiful poisonous petals, I command you to destroy all those who oppose me! Fusion Summon! Level 8! Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom!'' Zarc chants as a large figure comes out from the portal.

The monster resembles Starving Venom Fusion Dragon except it also has green glowing lining across its body similar to Zarc and looking more sinister than usual.

Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom Lvl 8 ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000

Revolver glares, not going to allow it as he proclaims. ''I activate both Borrelsword and Borrelguard Dragons'-''

''Dimension Ruler Link Dragon prevents my opponent to target or attack monsters it points to!'' Zarc interrupts forbidding his dragons from touching his own. Revolver glares again as he then changes his move ''Then I use Borreload's effect, decreasing your Link Dragon's ATK and DEF by 500! Anti-Enemy Varrett!''

Borreload fires a bullet-like mouth blast, striking Dimension Ruler. It roars as its ATK drops to 2000.

''Oh? So be it… but your monsters ARE DESTROYED! GO CLEAR WING!'' Zarc declares as Clear Wing releases dark green energy waves from its wings, striking all monsters on both opposing players. Almost all of their monsters were destroyed, almost.

Coming out from the smoke is Heatleo and Sunlight Wolf on Soulburner's field.

''I banish Salamangreat Balelynx from my Graveyard, protecting my Salamangreat cards from destruction!'' Soulburner explains banishing Balelynx to do so.

On Revolver's field, only Borrelguard Dragon remained as he clarifies. ''Borrelguard Dragon cannot be destroyed by card effects.''

Zarc scoffs not impressed until Revolver adds revealing the Rokket monster in his hand. ''I also use Rokket Recharger's effect from my hand, sending it away to bring back a Dark Dragon Link Monster that was destroyed.''

Zarc glares by this. The spiritual form of a black, dark red with light green-blue lining metal dragon with some kind of golden metal three-point antenna wings on the back appears behind Revolver as he discards it.

''Return back, Borreload Dragon!'' Revolver calls forth as his ace Borrel monster returns to the field with a roar.

Borreload Dragon LINK-4, ATK: 3000, Arrows: Left, Right, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right

Zarc scoffs angrily as he proclaims. ''Have it your way. I use Starving Venom's effect!''

The Supreme King Dragon version of Yuri's dragon roars as Zarc explains. ''By targeting another monster on the field or Graveyard, my dragon gains that monster's effect and I choose your Topologic Bomber Dragon!''

Revolver starts as now Starving Venom, if it destroys a monster, can inflict damage by that monster's ATK.

''Battle!'' Zarc shouts starting his Battle Phase as he adds sinister. ''Dimension Ruler Link Dragon gains 400 ATK for each monster it points to and right now there's three! Meaning its ATK goes up by 1200!''

Supreme King Dragons Clear Wing and Starving Venom as well as Borreload are pointing to Dimension Ruler, powering up the Link Dragon to 3200 ATK.

''Dimension Ruler, destroy Borreload Dragon and use its effect, halving its ATK and DEF! Dimension Rift!'' Zarc orders as the dragon releases a brown-golden aura burst, damaging the revolver-like dragon. Borreload's ATK drops down to 1500.

''Go my dragon let your power fear others and rule over all! Dimension Claw!'' Zarc, laughing insanely, orders as his dragon flies at Borreload preparing to swing its dark golden energy claw at it. Revolver glares not having many options but Soulburner did shouting out. ''I don't think so! Reverse Trap card open, Salamangreat Wall!''

One of his set cards flips over showing the image of Salamangreat Pyro Phoenix creating a majestic fiery barrier surrounding it.

''With this, I can negate an attack but if I control a Salamangreat Link Monster that is Reincarnation Link Monster, I end the Battle Phase!'' Soulburner reveals as a burst of flames surrounded his and Revolver's field, temporary stopping any attacks done to them.

Zarc scoffs at this stall game but he'll allow it.

''Fine with me.'' Zarc accepts as the flames burn away. He then declares finishing his turn. ''My turn is over.''


Turn 7

Soulburner: 1800LP H: 2

Revolver: 2000LP H: 1

Zarc: 3400LP H: 0


Soulburner stares at his current hand, not having many choices. Zarc's dragon has prevented him to draw any more cards than he had hope for. Even if he uses Fusion of Fire, Supreme World won't let him use Zarc's dragons, not even his Link Dragon, as material for Violet Chimera.

Zarc smirks seeing the face of hopelessness on him and proclaims reading the data of this world. ''You should give up. You can't hope to win without your Ignis.''

Soulburner snaps, gazing angrily at Zarc. True, if Flame was here… he would tell him to show this man who he shouldn't be messing with.

''You're wrong.'' Zarc raises an eyebrow at the mutter Soulburner begins saying. The fiery duelist gazes at him, oddly smirking strongly while clinching his burning fist on his side, declaring strongly. ''Even if you know Flame, you don't know who he was to me! And his spirit, his fire…''

He slams his fiery right fist onto his chest as the flames burns away.

''BURNS THROUGH ME! And as long as that flame exists, I am never alone!'' Soulburner shouts out passionate, refusing to give up ever in memory of his partner. He places his right hand over his deck and shouts drawing it. ''MY TURN, DRAW!''

He draws it with such passion his card ignites in flames. He eyes it and proceeds discarding another card in his hand. ''I use Salamangreat Gift's effect, discarding Salamangreat Meer from my hand to draw 2 cards!''

Zarc glares not allowing that for more combo extension as he declares. ''I use my effect and destroy that added card!''

Zarc roars destroying the cards that Soulburner drew. He didn't mind it as he still has the combo he needs.

''First I use Sunlight Wolf's effect, adding a Salamangreat Spell or Trap from my Graveyard to my hand.'' He declares adding a card from his Graveyard to his hand.

''Next I use Salamangreat Falco's effect since it was sent to the Graveyard, setting a Salamangreat Spell or Trap from my Graveyard to my field.'' Soulburner also adds as the brief appearance of his black, red lining flacon monster with flame wings appear leaving behind a set card.

''I also use Salamangreat Wall's other effect, banishing itself to add a Salamangreat card from my Graveyard to my hand.'' Soulburner proclaims banishing his trap to add another card from his Graveyard to his hand.

He then adds as his Duel Disk glows in a fiery aura. ''Next I use Salamangreat Jack Jaguar's effect from my Graveyard, returning Miragestallio to Special Summon itself to the field to a zone that Heatleo is pointing towards!''

A blue, yellow armored jaguar-like monster appears with flames shooting out from its sword-like pipes on its back.

Salamangreat Jack Jaguar Lvl 4 ATK: 1800 DEF: 1200

He then proceeds revealing a card in his hand. ''Now since I control 3 and more Salamangreat monsters, I can Special Summon Salamangreat Beat Bison to my field!''

A giant burning, red crimson bison with golden horns appears with its back engulf in flames. It appears in Defense Position.

Salamangreat Beat Bison Lvl 8 ATK: 2800 DEF: 1000

''I use Beat Bison's effect, returning the first Heatleo from my Graveyard back to my Extra Deck to negate a card you control!'' Soulburner declares as his monster erupts in more flames. Zarc startles by this yelling out. ''Without targeting?!''

''I negate your Supreme World!'' Soulburner declares as his monster shoots out a wave and hits Zarc's field spell as it lost all of its colors. Zarc glares angrily.

''Now it can't protect your Spells or Traps anymore.'' Soulburner states with a small smile before playing another card in his hand. ''I activate the Ritual Spell, Rise of the Salamangreat! With this, I can perform a Ritual Summon for a Salamangreat Ritual Monster! Plus if I control a Salamangreat Reincarnation Link Monster, I can shuffle Salamangreat monsters from my Graveyard for the requirements!''

Zarc snaps as a burst of flames gather over Soulburner, becoming almost like a pillar for a ritual.

''I return Foxy, Gazelle and Meer!'' Soulburner announces returning his 3 Salamangreat monsters back to his Deck as he chants out as the pillar engulfs in flames. "Ritual Summon! Descend, Level 8! Jade wings clad in flames! Salamangreat Emerald Eagle!"

Emerging out of the pillar is a large black, silver armored eagle with emerald green armor across its body with large wings and sharp bright yellow talons.

Salamangreat Emerald Eagle Lvl 8 ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000

Zarc chuckles worried about nothing as he expresses in a mockery tone. ''Oh? Is that all?''

Soulburner glares raising his right arm up and shouts. ''Appear! The circuit that changes the future!''

A new Link Portal emerges from flames it shot out from his palm.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning conditions are 2 Fire Effect monsters. I set my Salamangreat Heatleo and Jack Jauger in the Link Markers!'' Soulburner declares as his monsters fly into the portal, transforming into fiery hurricanes and fly into the Top, Left, Right and Bottom Link Arrows.

''Circuit combine!'' Soulburner shouts as the Link Portal glows and a figure burns through it. ''Link Summon! Blazing flames of rebirth! Link 4! Salamangreat Pyro Phoenix!"

A humanoid, red crimson creature resembling a phoenix emerges on Soulburner's field.

Salamangreat Pyro Phoenix LINK-4 ATK: 2800 Arrows: Top, Left, Right, Bottom

Revolver watches and forms a smirk knowing what comes next. Soulburner then chants as Pyro Phoenix reverts into fiery hurricane shooting upward to the Salamangreat symbol in the sky by Sanctuary. ''Phoenix! Throw yourself in the surging flames to awaken your immortal power!''

The hurricane passes through the symbol as it glows redder and explodes.

''SUPER REINCARNATION LINK SUMMON!'' Soulburner chants as a blazing figure emerges from the flames. ''Be Reborn! Link 4! Salamangreat Pyro Phoenix!"

Once more appearing is Pyro Phoenix only now it has majestic blue fiery twin bird-like wings, burning hotter and brighter.

Salamangreat Pyro Phoenix LINK-4 ATK: 2800 Arrows: Top, Left, Right, Bottom

Zarc watches unease all of a sudden as Soulburner declares. ''Pyro Phoenix's Reincarnation effect destroys all cards my opponent controls! With this, you're done.''

Zarc panics by this and snaps shouting out. ''WRONG! I activate my set trap, Supreme Loyalty!''

His set card flips over showing the image of the Supreme King Dragon version of the Dimension Dragons bowing before Zarc reigning over the sky almost like a god in a shade.

''For 2 turns, my Supreme monsters cannot be destroyed by effects and next I gain 1000LP for each.'' Zarc proclaims as a protected aura surrounds Clear Wing and Starving Venom.

Pyro Phoenix spreads its arms and wings and unleashes a destructive burst of its flames upon Zarc's field, destroying Supreme World and his other Spell and Traps as well as Dimension Ruler Link Dragon but the Supreme King Dragons remain untouched. Zarc pants by this as his LP goes up by 6400.

''Next I use Pyro Phoenix's effect, Special Summoning a Link Monster from my opponent's Graveyard back to their field!'' Soulburner announces as Pyro Phoenix raises its right hand and a fiery portal appears on Zarc's side. He staggers by this questioning. ''Nani? Why?''

Soulburner smirks explaining it. ''Because Pyro Phoenix's other effect when a Link Monster is summoned on my opponent's field, I inflict damage to my opponent equal to its original ATK!''

Zarc glares angrily by that as the fiery duelist calls forth. ''I revive Dimension Ruler Link Dragon!''

Dimension Ruler emerges out from the fire portal before it vanishes.

Dimension Ruler Link Dragon LINK-4, ATK: 2500, Arrows: Top-Right, Top-Left, Bottom-Right, Bottom-Left

''Go Pyro Phoenix, Pyro Overflow!'' Soulburner commands as Pyro Phoenix releases a bright burst of flames, striking Zarc. He gasps in pain, almost burned alive as LP took 2500 of damage.

''Next I use Emerald Eagle's effect, releasing Beat Bison to use its effect.'' Soulburner announces as Beat Bison vanishes in flames and were absorbed into the large eagle. He then orders pointing his finger forward. ''Battle! Emerald Eagle, attack Dimension Ruler Link Dragon!''

Emerald Eagle yells out with a screech as it dives right towards Dimension Ruler.

''Emerald Overload!'' Soulburner shouts as its body is engulfed in emerald colored flames, striking the dragon. The monster yells in pain as Soulburner reveals. ''Emerald Eagle's effect activates! At the start of the Damage Step, my monster destroys the monster it's battling and next inflicts damage to my opponent equal to its original ATK!''

Zarc panics more as the eagle releases its flames upon him as well as destroying his Link Dragon. He gasps in pain by the flames and the explosion, taking 2500 of damage plus 300 from Battle Damage.

''Pyro-'' Soulburner slowly begins to order an attack to Clear Wing but Revolver immediately stops him and states. ''Wait. Hold off your attack and end your turn.''

Soulburner startles by this eyeing him and questions pretty much aware Revolver has something. ''You got a plan?''

''Very.'' Revolver simply replies in a stern tone. Soulburner gazes at his eyes and sighs nodding. ''If you say so.''

Pyro Phoenix backs off as Soulburner ends his Battle Phase and declares. ''I enter my Main Phase 2 and equip Pyro Phoenix with the set Equip Spell, Salamangreat Burst!''

His face-down card flips over revealing itself. It lights up and consumes in flames, shooting onto Pyro Phoenix's right arm, morphing it into a powerful claw-like armored glove with sharp claws, fiery rings wrapped on each finger and a pair of fiery wings on its forearm.

''My turn is over. '' Soulburner finishes his turn, hoping Revolver has a plan.


Turn 8

Soulburner: 1800LP H: 1

Revolver: 2000LP H: 1

Zarc: 1100LP H: 0


Zarc pants heavily, glaring at Soulburner. He did not expecting this one to do him this much damage to him in the brink of defeat.

''I praise your efforts but they mean nothing! I will WIN!'' Zarc roars furious, his eyes glowing even angrier. Revolver scoffs at this as his body slowly burns in a white aura.

''That's where I beg to differ.'' Revolver begins to state, his serious nature burning up. He then adds with unshaken calm fury. ''You've brought too much pain and for that, I will not accept it. I will end this now. My turn!''

He draws his top card and got the card he needed.

''I summon Triggering Wurm!'' Revolver calls forth summoning the card he drew. A dark red worm-like dragon with bright orange spikes on its back appears with a small dotted eye.

Triggering Wurm Lvl 2 ATK: 600 DEF: 600

He then declares banishing his trap from before. ''I banish Borrel Turret from the Graveyard to then turn all Borrel Link Monsters into Link-3s.''

Zarc didn't get such a dumb effect until it hit him actually gritting his teeth. Borreload and Borrelguard went down a Link as Revolver proclaims raising his right arm upward. ''Appear, the future circuit that lights up my path!''

A wave of sparks fly out from his palm creating the Link Portal.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning conditions are 3+ Effect monsters. I set the current Link-3 Borreload Dragon and Triggering Wurm in the Link Markers!'' Revolver declares as his monsters fly into the portal, transforming into dark hurricanes and fly into the Top-Right, Top-Left, Bottom-Right and Bottom-Left Link Arrows.

''Circuit combine!'' Revolver declares as the arrow his monsters went into begins to glow as did the portal itself, shattering apart before a glowing infinity symbol forms.

''From the eternal creation of the world, zero resurrects endlessly! Appear, Link 4 Topologic Zeroboros!'' Revolver calls forth as the symbol transmute and becomes the most powerful of the Topologic monsters. It's a white metal dragon-like creature with light blue lining, orbs and spikes across its trefoil knot tail. The armor has some pink and golden cords as well as claws and horns. It has thin black armored for the arms and most of the chest. The chest has a light blue diamond crystal as well as a faceless light blue orb eye with sharp fangs.

Topologic Zeroboros LINK-4, ATK: 3000, Arrows: Top-Right, Top-Left, Bottom-Right, Bottom-Left

Zarc stares now actually trembling able to sense a power that could pose him a threat. Soulburner even gulps reminded how powerful this thing is.

''I now use Triggering Wurm's effect when it's used for a Link Summon, Special Summoning itself back to the field but to a zone a Link Monster points to! And I choose the zone Borrelguard's is pointing to.'' Revolver announces as his monster returns back to the field.

Triggering Wurm Lvl 2 ATK: 600 DEF: 600

''With that, I'm set.'' Revolver says causing Zarc to raise an eyebrow. He now reveals firmly. ''I activate Zeroboros' effect when a monster is Special Summoned to a Zone a Link Monster points to, banishing all cards on the field.''

''NANI?!'' Zarc yells out terrified as beats of sweat drip from the side of his face. Immediately an orange light forms underneath all 3 fields, becoming a large circle symbol with a primary diagram in the middle.

Soulburner quickly reacts to this declaring. ''And I chain that by activating the Quick-Play Spell, Salamangreat Soul!''

His last set card flips over revealing to show Blaze Dragon tanking through multiple attacks from unseen monsters. Soulburner then explains his card's effect. ''With this, Salamangreat cards cannot be targeted by card effects but if I control a Reincarnation Link Summoned monster, all my cards become unaffected!''

Revolver smirks at this as he commands his monster to use its effect by clinching his right fist. ''Asura Enigma!''

The symbol glows rapidly underneath them and all cards begin to banish themselves except for Soulburner's field. Zarc wasn't lucky watching in horror as his Supreme King Dragons, including himself, were all banished away by the light. Soon the symbol vanishes all together.

Zarc is speechless by this, not sure how to react. He slowly utters out still very much stunned. ''M-My field… myself, my kin…''

Revolver hums calmly as he informs him. ''Your field was perfect in every sense, almost perfect but it can be bested through the strength of others.''

Soulburner cracks a smile by that comment. Revolver resumes his turn. ''Triggering Wurm's last effect lets me draw a card when it's destroyed or banished by a Link Monster's effect.''

He draws his top card and eyes it immediately setting it.

''I set 1 card facedown and my turn ends.'' Revolver declares ending his turn with the card he set face-down.


Turn 9

Soulburner: 1800LP H: 1

Revolver: 2000LP H: 1

Zarc: 1100LP H: 0


Zarc stares silent but struggling angrily to control himself. He has no cards on his field or in his hand. He has nothing… yet he won't submit to this. He has the STRONGEST; to him this means nothing but a worth challenge to overcome.

''You have no field! How do you plan to turn it around?'' Soulburner proclaims confident he can't do anything now. Zarc oddly strikes a smirk, questioning him. ''Is that so? I'll show you then my potential.''

Soulburner and Revolver glare as Zarc declares as his eyes glow. ''My turn, draw!''

He draws his top card, eyeing it and his eyes make a delighted expression.

''I use the effect of Topologic Zeroboros!'' Revolver announces snapping Zarc out. ''During the Standby Phase when it used its effect to banish itself, I can Special Summon it back to my field.''

Zarc glares as Revolver calls forth. ''Revive from nothingness, Topologic Zeroboros!''

Emerging from thin air is Zeroboros, letting out a screeching roar.

Topologic Zeroboros LINK-4, ATK: 3000, Arrows: Top-Right, Top-Left, Bottom-Right, Bottom-Left

The part that most surprised Zarc is the zone it was on, the middle of the Monster Zone. He grits his teeth uttering out furious. ''Bastard… you…''

Revolver, scoffing, is impressed he saw through that and tells him. ''I've locked you from using your Extra Monster Zone. In addition, Zeroboros gains 200 for each banished card.''

20 banished cards are present between all players, raising Zeroboros up to 7000 ATK. Revolver had lock Zarc from using his Extra Monster Zone making it impossible for him to turn around.

''You can't win.'' He tells the Demon Duelists firmly. Zarc cracks an ominous grin to Revolver's confusion.

''I can't huh?'' Zarc asks finding it rather humorous. He then proclaims with a sinister expression as his eyes fully glow. ''Let me show you how I, the Ultimate Duelist, shatter your hopes of victory!''

Raising the card he drew forward, Zarc declares playing it. ''I activate the spell, Supreme Revival!''

The card shows the image of Supreme King Dragon Zarc emerging out from the ground with red lightning on the background. The same lightning shoots down behind Zarc as he starts stating. ''I may use this spell to revive myself, Zarc, from the Graveyard, face-up from the Extra Deck or banished. Now resurrect, Supreme King Dragon Zarc!''

The lightning strikes again and in that moment Zarc materializes back with a powerful roar.

Supreme King Dragon Zarc Lvl 12 PS: 1/1 ATK: 4000 DEF: 4000

Zeroboros' ATK dropped by 200 due to Zarc no longer Banished, now 6800 ATK.

''Next I can Special Summon a monster from my Graveyard.'' Zarc then reveals as he calls forth. ''Return to me, Dimension Ruler Link Dragon!''

Emerging right next to Zarc is the Link Dragon.

Dimension Ruler Link Dragon LINK-4, ATK: 2500, Arrows: Top-Right, Top-Left, Bottom-Right, Bottom-Left

Soulburner glares and quickly shouts. ''Pyro Phoenix's effect-''

''Monsters summoned by this spell have their effects negate and their original ATK as 0.'' Zarc instantly interrupts revealing his card's drawback. Soulburner grunts thinking he got him though this only confuse him more muttering out. ''Why would you summon them like that?''

Zarc chuckles at his question and simply replies, raising his right arm up. ''Allow me to show you. Come forth, the circuit that leads to supremacy!''

A Link Portal manifests over Zarc as he declares with his eyes glowing. ''Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning is 2 or more monsters including Dimension Ruler Link Dragon! I set myself and Link Dragon in the Link Markers!''

Both Soulburner and Revolver startle in shock as both dragons become hurricanes, Dimension Ruler into 4, as they slam themselves onto the Top-Right, Top-Left, Bottom-Right, Bottom and Bottom-Left Link Markers.

''Circuit combine!'' Zarc starts saying as the portal glows and he chants smirking. ''Emperor of dimensions, let your roar conquer all those that oppose you and with your kin, rule over everything!''

The portal starts cracking as Zarc calls forth. ''Link Summon! Arise, Link 5! Ruler of Links, Dimension Emperor Link Dragon!''

Breaking through the Link Portal and superfast speed, emerges the evolved form of Dimension Ruler Link Dragon. The dragon golden brown scaled armor is now pure golden with white lining across its body and brownish horns while it has 5 orbs across its chest symbolizing its Link Markers while having a single orb on its two arms, legs and before the tip of its tail. Its twin wings now resemble like a king's wide cape. The top of its head gains a horned-like crown of an emperor with a white gem in the middle. Its golden-brown eyes glow even brighter and determined before letting out a powerful roar that pushes both Soulburner and Revolver as well as their monsters.

Dimension Emperor Link Dragon LINK-5, ATK: 3000, Arrows: Top-Right, Top-Left, Bottom-Right, Bottom, Bottom-Left

''A Link 5?!'' Soulburner utters out in shock with Revolver glaring, both not expecting he had a Link 5. Still Revolver wasn't bested yet as he declares. ''Topologic Zeroboros' effect triggers!''

Zeroboros begins using its effect but then Dimension Emperor's eyes glow and stuns the monster by its power.

''What's going on?'' Revolver questions not understanding why his Topologic didn't trigger its effect. Zarc chuckles at this as he gladly explains evilly. ''Dimension Emperor, when it is summoned or monsters summoned to where it points to prevents the opponent to activate cards to their summoning.''

This horrifies the Rokket Duelist with a glare as Zarc states grinning. ''Now your monster can't stop me. I also use the effect of Supreme Revival's effect!''

His spell he used banishes itself as Zarc explains. ''By banishing it while I, Zarc, am face-up on the field or in the Extra Deck, I can draw a card but also Special Summon 2 Supreme King Dragons from my Deck or Extra Deck.''

Revolver finds this off as Zeroboros shot up again to 7000 ATK. Zarc draws a card as he calls forth. "The fangs of rebellion who live in the pitch black darkness, give in and obey me! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Supreme King Dragon Dark Rebellion!"

Emerging out is another Supreme King Dragon. The monster resembles Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon except much like the other two Dimension Dragons it has glowing green lining across its body similar to Zarc while having a darker, eviler expression.

Supreme King Dragon Dark Rebellion Rank 4 ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000

"Kin with dichromatic eyes, burn all your enemies caught by your sharp eyes! Appear! Supreme King Servant Dragon Odd-Eyes!" Zarc announces summoning another Supreme King Dragon. The monster resembles Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon but much like the other Dimension Dragons, it also has glowing green lining across its body similar to Zarc while it looks vicious and darker.

Supreme King Dragon Odd-Eyes Lvl 8 ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000

Revolver glares both monsters are pointing to the Link 5 and his Zeroboros can't use its effect.

''Zeroboros' effect can't trigger.'' He mutters upset not able to do anything. Zarc smirks informing him as he plays a card in his hand. ''That's the least of your worries. I equip Dimension Emperor with this Equip Spell, Supreme Rampage!''

The card appears showing the image of Supreme King Dragon Zarc attacking multiple unseen enemies with beam energy blasts from its rings. A dark aura soon surrounds Dimension Emperor as Zarc declares still smirking. ''Battle! Dimension Emperor Link Dragon, attack Topologic Zeroboros!''

Dimension Emperor roars gazing its glowing eyes at Zeroboros. Zarc then announces grinning. ''Dimension Emperor, while its pointing to monsters gains half of their ATK. Do the math.''

Revolver glares, calculating that with both Supreme Dragons being 1250 of half of their ATK and Zeroboros currently half of its being 3500 ATK, Dimension Emperor Link Dragon has a grand total of 8500 ATK, surpassing Zeroboros and more than enough to finish Revolver off.


Yuya watches this able to sense Zarc will win this without a doubt. He's needed or else.

''Reiji!'' He calls out to his rival only for Reiji to reply by handing him over his Duel Disk, now fully compatible to enter Link VRAINS.

''Go.'' Reiji tells him. Yuya smirks receiving it as he immediately puts it on his dueling arm and slides his Deck in. He raises it up as the device glows, loading him into Link VRAINS and hopefully not too late.


''Plus Dimension Emperor halves the monster it battles and negates its effect! Dimension Order!'' Zarc then announces as his dragon creates energy blades surrounding it and shoots them through Topologic Zeroboros. The monster roars in pain as its ATK suddenly drops hard to a mere 1400.

Soulburner panics, preparing to stop this but Revolver isn't best yet as he starts speaking up passionate. ''Sink into the abyss of bottomless despair! Reverse trap open, Mirror Force!''

His face-down card flips over revealing to be the legendary trap card. Soulburner smirks by this proclaiming. ''Nice! With that, all of his monsters-''

''NAÏVE!'' Zarc immediately yells out insanely as Dimension Emperor spreads its dark aura upon Revolver's trap, losing its colors before exploding into pieces.

''Nani?!'' Revolver, sounding surprised, utters out speechless by this. Zarc smirks explaining his demise. ''Supreme Rampage, once per Battle, negates the activations and effects of Monster, Spell and Trap cards whenever the equipped monster battles.''

Revolver stares actually worrying as he lost his only means to avoid losing. Zarc smirks now proclaiming evilly. ''Now be gone and sink to your own despair! Dimension Destruction!''

Dimension Emperor lets out a roar as both claws engulf in dark golden aura actually making them larger and sharper. It then flies right at Zeroboros, preparing to stab its claws through it. Revolver watches not having much choice but to submit-

''I use the effect of Salamangreat Burst, reducing all Battle Damage to 0!'' Soulburner, not going to let Revolver lose, declares as Pyro Phoenix raises its armored glove and releases a burst of flames at Revolver, surrounding him in flames. Dimension Emperor shreds Topologic Zeroboros, destroying it as the impact of the explosion hits the barrier instead, protecting Revolver's Life Points.

''Oh, interesting…'' Zarc utters out somewhat impressed but then reveals with an evil grin. ''Supreme Rampage's second effect allows my equipped monster to attack up to the number of Dragon monsters I control.''

Soulburner startles meaning the dragon can still attack 2 more times.

''Now attack-'' Zarc begins to order gazing at Revolver to get rid of him but Soulburner protests declaring. ''While the equipped monster is a Salamangreat Reincarnation Link Monster, Salamangreat Burst can redirect the attack to it and I take no damage!''

Zarc scoffs not having a choice declaring. ''So be it. Attack Pyro Phoenix!''

Dimension Emperor Link Dragon roars flying at Pyro Phoenix with its claws engulfed in the same dark golden energy.

''Dimension Destruction!'' Zarc commands as his dragon swings both claws and rips through the phoenix monster, destroying it. Soulburner braces himself taking no damage but now he can't protect Revolver.

''Now…'' Zarc hums gazing at either attacking Emerald Eagle… or get rid of the one that had most annoyed him. He smirks pointing at Revolver as he commands. ''I'll get rid of you first. Dimension Emperor Link Dragon, attack him directly!''

Dimension Emperor roars coming at Revolver with its claws.

''…'' Revolver remains silent, realizing he can't win. He turns to Soulburner and tells him, trusting everything on him. ''It'll be up to you then.''

Soulburner widens his eyes uttering out. ''Revolver!''

''Farewell, pest!'' Zarc shouts laughing as Dimension Emperor prepares to stab through Revolver… however…


INTRUSION PENALTY: 2000LP


''I activate the effect of Performapal Kuribohble from my hand!'' Jumping right above the middle of the field, Yuya shouts holding up a Monster Card and adds summoning it. ''When a monster declares a direct attack, I can Special Summon him to the field and redirect your attack to him!''

Emerging right beside him is a red eye colored Kuriboh wearing a festive Christmas-like sock hat.

Performapal Kuribohble Lvl 1 ATK: 300 DEF: 200

''Kuri!'' The Kuriboh monster cries out as Yuya tells it smiling. ''Let's do this, Kuribohble!''

Kuribohble nods flying in fast and intercepts Dimension Emperor Link Dragon's attack by swinging its tail at its claw.

''Kuri!'' Kuribohble cries out serious blocking the attack in exchange of itself getting destroyed.

''Next any damage I take from that battle, I gain Life Points instead!'' Yuya announces landing on his feet just as his LP shot up, right at 9500.

Soulburner and Revolver stare rather taken back while Zarc widens his glowing eyes in disbelief.

''Phew! Just barely made it.'' Yuya expresses with an exhausted voice, thinking he wouldn't make it in the last second. He looks around pretty amazed this is all a virtual world and even though this place should be safer to duel; he can't help but not like it as much.

''This place is really weird. It's like an Action Duel field but I don't know, doesn't feel the same.'' Yuya says eyeing the two duelists behind him with a smile. Other than his appearance being the same in the virtual world, his school jacket is much longer like a cape with a hood over his head.

Revolver glares not sure if this is a trick or he was saved by an amateur. What worries him is how identical he is to the enemy.

''W-who are you?'' Soulburner utters out really confused by this kid. He gets his answer by Kusanagi responding on his side. ''Don't worry, he's on our side.''

''Wait really?'' Soulburner utters out really taken back by this. Revolver isn't at all convinced, telling himself mentally. ''Yet this one resembling like the other. Could they be connected?''

Yuya turns forward, facing towards Zarc who glares angrily.

''You…'' Zarc utters out coldly and hateful, not able to forget how this mere fragment broke free from his will and forced him to lose to Ray again. Yuya glares, now facing the one he is made out of. He still couldn't forgive himself how Reira and Ray gave themselves up to save him and everyone else because he allowed Zarc to control his heart. This time he won't make the same mistake twice.

''I don't know how a piece of you escaped being sealed but I won't let the sacrifice Reira and Ray made be in vain.'' Yuya declares determined, not going to let this madness continue anymore.


Turn 10

Yuya: 9500LP H: 4

Soulburner: 1800LP H: 3

Revolver: 2000LP H: 1

Zarc: 1400LP H: 0


''My turn!'' Yuya starts shouting as he grips on his top card and draws passionate, creating a temporary rainbow through it in an arc. ''DRAW!''

Yuya eyes his drawn card and smiles getting what he needed.

Grabbing on two cards in his hand, he declares holding up two cards and reveal them. ''Here I go! With the Scale 1 Stargazer Magician and the Scale 8 Timegazer Magician, I Set the Pendulum Scale!''

Yuya places both Pendulums on his Pendulum Scales as rainbow words materialize on his Duel Disk, spelling out P-E-N-D-U-L-U-M.

Two blue lights shoot up as two monsters appear within the lights.

The first is dark colored ginger spiky haired magician with a tiring expression as he wears a black-golden design magician's outfit with a long golden scale blade-like device attached on the right side of his glove. He has a large number 8 above his head.

The second is a long blond haired magician with a calming expression as he wears a white, blue magician theme outfit wielding a long white-golden rod with a roundish shield around the left hand. A large number 1 appears above him.

Left: Stargazer Magician – Pendulum Scale: 1/1

Right: Timegazer Magician – Pendulum Scale 8/8

Soulburner and Revolver startle that this one also has Pendulums.

Yuya then declares as a large pendulum appears above him. ''With this, I can summon monsters with Levels 2 through 7!''

The pendulum starts swirling between his two Pendulum Monster Scales.

"Swing, pendulum of souls! Draw an arc of light across the ether!'' Yuya chants as the pendulum swirls faster and faster as a large portal appears above him. He then shouts, raising his right hand up above him. ''Pendulum Summon!''

The portal glows as three different color lights shoot out from it.

"Appear wondrous and beautiful dichromatic eyes! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya declares proudly as the final light materializes to become his ace monster. It takes the form of a red, dark brown scaled dragon (oddly resembling a dinosaur) with large whiteish horns shooting from its back with the left having a large red orb with the right having a large green orb attached on the horns. The chest has two large blue orbs attached. The dragon has smaller white horns on its head with orange colored orbs. The dragon has sharp fangs and claws, a yellow-like beak mouth and both its eyes are green (left) and red (right). Odd-Eyes, unlike the other two, stand on its twos in Attack Position.

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon Lvl 7 PS: 4/4 ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000

Odd-Eyes roars as did Dimension Emperor, both dragons gazing at the other serious. Zarc glares his eyes glowing as Yuya suddenly gasps, his eyes glowing as he tries ignoring this.

''The dragons are roaring?'' Soulburner asks very puzzled by this. Revolver, silently, taps on his helmet to scan these dragons and they were very much the same.

Zarc glares at Yuya and then the dragon that used to be his, his first dragon. To think it would choose this ¼ of himself over the original.

''You dare appear and stand beside my weaker fragment, Odd-Eyes!'' Zarc yells out furious by this. Yuya stares serious protesting with Odd-Eyes roaring. ''Odd-Eyes and I have a bond, something you had with him but you lost your way!''

He then recalls the roars of the Dimension Dragons after the events of the dimensions reset and tells the original owner emotionally. ''Just like the other dragons! Their roars are their cries for their master's abandonment!''

Zarc snaps greatly at this and responds harshly almost unable to control his emotions. ''SHUT UP! What I wanted was to become one with them!''

''But not to become a monster, to duel beside him and fight with heart!'' Yuya once more protests, still having Zarc's old memories of when he just wanted to duel for fun, to entertain everyone, to show his love for dueling. Zarc glares madder not believing any of his fragments would annoy him this much.

''You're just a fragment of my true self and even my former host body, one I have discarded for a better one!'' Zarc proclaims with an evil grin having Yuta's body and soul to do what he pleased. Yuya glares at that, not going to accept another to be used by him to cause destruction and despair.

''Then I'll stop you from taking the soul of another!'' Yuya declares holding up a card in his hand. ''I can Tribute Summon this card with 1 less Tribute if I release a Level 5 or higher monster! I release Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!''

Odd-Eyes let out another roar as its body glows. Yuya's eyes slowly return to normal as he calls forth determine. ''Come forth! Evolve pass your limits and overcome all despair! Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon!''

Odd-Eyes lets out a roar as it starts glowing, changing its body rapidly. Its Pendulum and white parts shatter as its red scales across its body became more bulky and armor-like. It soon grows a pair of large, whiteish dragon wings as it takes flight. Its claws became sharper its horns became slightly longer growing behind its back. Odd-Eyes dual-colored eyes glow fiery letting a strong roar in its new form.

Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon Lvl 8 ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500

Zarc glares completely unaware of this monster as Yuya announces. ''Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon's effect! When it's Tribute Summoned, I can destroy a monster my opponent control and next inflict damage equal to that monster's original ATK!''

''Nani?!'' Zarc, widening his eyes, utters out in horror. Yuya points his finger and declares. ''I choose your Dimension Emperor Link Dragon!''

Odd-Eyes roar taking flight and spread its wings. It opens up its mouth as a sphere of chaotic red-black swirl of energy begin gathering.

''Charge forward and let your flames consume the darkness, Spiral Flame Strike Advance!'' Yuya commands as the sphere grows in size and Odd-Eyes unleash it at full blast upon Dimension Emperor. Zarc watches helpless as the blast strikes and consumes both the Link Dragon and Zarc. The dragon roars getting vaporized within the blast as Zarc screams in intense pain.

''D-DAMN YOU!'' Zarc yells out before the blast explodes, consuming his side of the field in smoke. Soulburner watches amazed while Revolver glares still very untrusting on this one or if Zarc has been bested.

As soon as the smoke clears up, the three duelists stagger to see Zarc emerge from the smoke, glaring though weakened.

''He survived?!'' Soulburner utters out not believing this. Zarc pants heavily as he explains before the blast exploded upon him. ''I banished Supreme Loyalty to use its other effect, negate all damage this turn!''

Yuya stares serious that might be true but he's far from beaten. He can still make a miracle happen.

''I'm just getting started!'' Yuya speaks up passionate. Zarc watches him silently. ''…''

''I activate-'' Yuya starts saying grabbing a card from his hand but then he's silent by Zarc's sudden outburst of laughter. ''Hahaha… HAHAHA!''

Yuya startles off his zone by this noticing Zarc rather excited expression.

''Fascinating! A challenge worthy of my attention! A true entertainment!'' Zarc expresses overjoyed, not dreaming anyone but this Playmaker (even though he would not find any thrill) would give him this type of dueling. He smirks almost finding this as a joke it would be this small piece of himself that could bring out this rush.

''I find it ironic you, a mere fragment of the true me, Zarc, would become my equal.'' Zarc adds in a praising, sinister voice as he gazes at Yuya. He chuckles how ironic fate is, maybe this is simply a sign of something grander for him. He then adds almost humorous. ''I supposed it's only fair we settled this on much better terms, don't you think?''

Yuya raises an eyebrow with Revolver demanding rather annoyed to where this might lead. ''What do you mean?''

Zarc glares at him with a hateful stare. Without warning Supreme King Dragon Zarc returns in shadow form and slams its tail onto the ground they were standing on. Yuya panics as the ground shatters and he leaps on Odd-Eyes taking him up. Soulburner and Revolver summon their D-Boards, hopping on them. Zarc smirks leaping on Zarc as the ground cracks and breaks, canceling the duel.

Zarc then explains harshly riding on his dragon. ''I find this duel boring now. I will face my fragment in a new duel, one more entertaining than all of these past duels! One this dimension will witness before their lives are ruled under my presence as well as all other dimensions!''

Yuya glares not afraid to challenge him at a full on duel. Maybe then he can finally put an end of this. Zarc smirks wanting to settle this now but it would spoil him due to his weakened state.

''But we will duel tomorrow for that is my day, my grand return and your destruction.'' Zarc proclaims excitedly, not able to wait for tomorrow to come. Yuya glares and gladly responds. ''I'll be there.''

Zarc grins hoping it to be the case. With that he and his massive dragon vanish. Yuya just stares at the direction he disappeared, determine to beat him.

Yuya for the save? I guess… I wanted Yuya vs Zarc in anime canon SO this will have to do but the main course will be for next time.

So we close to ending this story. I got 2 chapters of setup, then the big battle against Zarc… THEN the special final duel and the aftermath. Wish me luck everyone!

I kinda want more Link 5 Link Monsters, playable ones, just saying... which Revolver did got Borrelend but I can't use it now for this fanfic. Another time.
