Angel: "It's time for Announcershipping! The shipping name for Nico Smiley and Melissa Trail! A shipping that shouldn't be too hard to write, but for some reason it was! This AU follows the Canon story line except the dimensions aren't fused together."


Main Ship: Announcershipping (Nico Smiley x Melissa Trail)

Ship Name: Named as such because they are both announcers in their respective dimensions.


Where Are Thou?

The first ever Dimensional Tournament was about to get underway. It was said to start in about ten minutes. The tournament was suppose to symbolize the growing bond between the four dimensions and to be a joyous event, but Nico Smiley wasn't all too happy.

He sat in the waiting room, tapping his foot impatiently. Nico was going to be a commentator for the event, however, because of the size of the event and what the tournament was suppose to represent Nico was going to have two co-hosts, one from the Synchro Dimension and the other from the Xyz Dimension. Now Nico didn't have a problem with sharing the spotlight, but what's the point of sharing the spotlight if no one was going to bother to be here on time?

Nico looked down at his watch and grumble to himself. 8 minutes to go.

Finally, at around the 5 minute mark the co-host from the Xyz Dimension came in. A man known as Mr. Heartland. He wore a golden suit covered in pink hearts with a top hat similar in style and a bow tie covered in spots.

"Good afternoon, Mr Smiley, I take it?" Mr. Heartland greeted, holding his hand out with a large smile. Nico shook hands out of courtesy.

"Cutting it a little close there, Mr. Heartland?" Nico asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Ah, a thousand apologizes. With traffic coming from every dimension you must understand the horrific jam traveling is now."

"I suppose." Nico sighed. "Have you seen any sign of our Synchro Dimension co-host? We're about to go on soon and I haven't seen them at all." Mr. Heartland shakes his head.

"Sorry. No dice." The lead organizer of the event, Leo Akaba, poke his head into the room.

"Announcers, we're about to be live soon. Is everything ready?"

"Not quite, Mr. Akaba." Nico answers. "One of our co-hosts still seems to be missing." Leo frown for a moment.

"Perhaps they lost their way. I'll get on it right away, but for now, you and Mr. Heartland can start."


"Welcome everyone to our very first annual Dimensional Duel Tournament!" Nico announced to the millions of people in the stands.

"Here the best duelists of each dimension are going to smash, clash, and dash to prove which of them deserves the title of Dimensional Champion!" Mr. Heartland added, pumping up the crowd further.

"So far, so good." Nico thought to himself. "But before that, allow us to explain the rules and how the challengers will be matched-"

"WOO! JUST MADE IT!" A voice shouted from above them. Stun, everyone looks towards the sky to see a large helicopter flying above the stadium and inside it was a fair skinned woman with curly blonde hair wearing a white shirt that showed her midriff, a yellow bow, a red vest, and a cowboy hat with yellow shorts. In one of her hands was a microphone. Without skipping a beat, the cowgirl leaped off the helicopter.

Most of the crowd, including Nico himself, began to panic, thinking that this lady was going to hurt herself but the woman front flip, showing off the bag she was wearing and deplored the parachute that was inside. She landed safely beside Nico and Mr. Heartland, shouldering off her bag.

"Sorry fellows for the wait. Along the way we took a wrong turn and ended up in the Xyz Dimension of all things! Can ya imagine that?" She grinned.

"Excuse me, and you are?" Mr. Heartland asked.

"The name's Melissa Trail! Those in the Synchro Dimension know me as the host of my show, Tell Me Melissa! I'm also the top reporter there! And I'm here to help you fellows out." Melissa grins.

"I see. Good to have you abroad, Ms. Melissa! The more the merrier, right Nico?" Mr. Heartland turned to his co-host, but Nico didn't answer. He just couldn't stop staring at the beautiful angel in front of him. "Uhh...Nico? Hello? Anyone home?" Mr. Heartland waved a hand in front of his face. He didn't even blink.

"Umm...is he okay?" Melissa asked, tilting her head to the side in question.

"Not sure. Let's try this." Mr. Heartland readied his cane right behind Nico and gave the man a sharp smack in the back. This jolted Nico out of his trance but also sent him stumbling forward right into Melissa's arms.

"Whoa! You okay, hun?"

"W-what?!" Nico exclaims, his face red. "Who? Me?!" He jumps out of her arms while a few in the audience chuckle at Nico's antics.

"Uhh...yeah you. Who else would I be talking too?" Melissa asked. Nico wiped the sweat from his forehead, his mouth dry.

"I-I'm fine, just...glad to see that you could make it. N-now, about those rules-" As Nico stammered out the rules with Melissa staring at him curiously, Mr. Heartland watched with an interested glint in his eye.

Oh, this was going to be an entertaining tournament indeed.


Yuya: "Wait, who is Mr. Heartland?"

Angel: "A minor character from Zexal. Don't get too attach. We're gonna be sending him home in a few."

Yuya: "O...okay?"

Angel: "Speaking of Zexal, Kite! It's your turn!"

Kite: "Holactie, give me strength..."

(Kite sighs.)
