Chapter 28

AN: I suggest that you watch Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V episodes before moving forward.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Universe
Unknown Number of Years Ago...

This is the time when the tournament for finding recruits for the Lancer Defense Soldiers (Lancers for short). Invaders from the Duel Academy of the Fusion Dimension came in to find Celina, who is the Fusion equivalent Leo Akaba's daughter name Ray Akaba, and capture Dennis McField, the 'escapee' from the Xyz Dimension. Yet when the Obelisk Force comes in, another force came in. This one was wearing black medium armor and armed with actual guns. Rifles that shoot lasers at the Obelisk force and started subduing the participants and the citizens of Paradise City with Celina, Yuya, Zuzu, Yugo, and those related to Z-ARC and Ray Akaba. Even removed Yuto from Yuya.

Once that is done, this force rounded up almost all the students of the Fusion Dimension's Duel Academy and have them all executed by firing squads along with supporters of the invasions. Even causing destruction in the Synchro Dimension in search of those that have connections to the Fusion Dimension. All those that oppose them ended up dead. Not long after, Leo Akaba has been apprehended and put on trial with Lulu, Rin, Celina, Zuzu, Yuya, Yugo, Yuto and Yuri. All are in some form of orange energy chains and handcuffs while in a dark courtroom with spotlights shining on them. Leo is in the center while the other eight are on the sidelines with the girl's bracelets not working and the four boys not fusing together to create Z-ARC. The JUDGE, an artificial intelligence that look like the floating head from the Wizard of Oz (that is also green), passes judgement.

"Leo Akaba." the JUDGE speaks in a loud, booming voice, "As punishment for your tampering with dimensions; you are to be sentence to death and the complete and total of all four dimensions."

"WHAT?!" Leo says in shock.

The eight children let out an uproar saying that it is unfair.

"As for these eight, the spirits of Ray Akaba and Z-ARC are to be removed from them and to be banished. All trace of Duel Monsters will be erased for all time."

From the eight, multi-colored lights came out of their bodies with each containing a piece of both Ray and Z-ARC now removed from them. The energy is then transformed into a sphere that is later sent away. A black armored samurai with a daichi sliced off Leo's head.

The eight are places in a capsule by two Rick's.

One Rick places a device in it, "Not only AI's, but children as well? Damn, that's hardcore."

The other Rick that is prepared to launch the pod says, "Don't you mean harsh. I mean, we may have enacted genocide a multiple times before, but damn."

The first Rick places the circular device in, "Yeah, well, this kids are getting a better treatment." He then place another device inside.

"What's that?"

"Well, Duel Monsters is a kids game, or Yu-Gi-Oh!, whatever. Despite what the hell just happened, I think this game deserve a chance again once someone or something discovered them. It may not happen within a few centuries, may not happen in a billion years from now. But maybe the game can be used for entertainment rather than evil like it has been."

The second Rick smiled, "Then let's send them off somewhere out there. Maybe to a better future." He is seconds away from pressing the button before asking, "By the way, how many AI's are in there?"

"Two of them got erased due to their dangers so, we got the Dark, Fire, Water and Earth with an actual human intelligence copy of a young child that made a nice practice tutorial edition to the game." Then he fires the pod.

"Nice."

President Day...

Washu is giving Yuya a physical with a light pen to check his pupil dilation in the medical bay. Yuya have a look of melancholy while being exam.

"You seem to be alright." Washu turns off the light. "But it seems that your astral pattern has suffered what I can only describe as 'soul drain'."

"Yeah." even his voice sounds melancholic. "All of us have parts of our souls removed after the trial."

The other kids are sitting in chairs with the same melancholic feeling. When those part of their souls were removed, they have become less interested in anything (even dueling), not much interested in socializing or anything like that. And being banished into the void of space for an untold number of years have taken a toll as well.

"Hmm..." Magnus went as he exams the soul of Yugo. "A part of your soul has been removed, by force. So there is some truth to that story."

A huge quake is felt across the ship with the lights flickering.

"What was that?" Magnus asked.

A swirling vortex of blue energy appeared in the center of the room that is also sparkly. It looks pretty at first until something horrible came out.

"Hello, Magnus!" Tzeentch has arrived.

"What is that?" the kids asked.

"Oh FUCK NO! No, no, no, no, NO! FUCK NO! F to the U to the C to the K with a NO!"

"Is that Tzeentch?!" Washu asks.

"Ah, so you have heard of me. A pleasure. Maybe. Possibly. Absolutely...YES!" He evilly snickers. Then he turn his attention at Magnus, "Time to go home, Magnus! Your free subscription of being among mortals has expired. PERMANENTLY!"

"FUCK YOU, TZEENTCH! I am gonna give these mortal creatures my knowledge, you calamari dumpster fire!"

Celina leans over to Zuzu as she whispers, "More like Lovecraftian nightmare fuel."

"I know." Zuzu replies. "I mean, what sort of creature has a mouth where the you-know-what is supposed to be."

"I heard that!" says Tzeentch. "As for your punishment!" With a wave of his hand, Tzeentch does something to Celina.

Celina tries to speak but all she can say is gibberish. She panics and tries to demand Tzeentch to change her back.

"Sorry, can't understand a word you are saying." and laughs at Celina's misery.

"That's enough!" Zuzu says. "You change Celina back right this-" Zuzu got turned into a frog.

"ZUZU!" Yuya cries out.

"Whoops! Looks like you croacked!" and laughs at Zuzu's misery. Then proceeds to grab Magnus, "Come on, sunny, time to leave."

Magnus whines, "But I don't wanna."

"Your real dad is dead. What use to you have for a corpse?"

"To keep you away from any ships that ever does pass through the Warp. You know? My own version of the Astronomican."

"Well too bad! You are to remain in the Warp and in the Forbidden Palace, FOREVER!"

"Not so fast!" Yuyu takes a stand. He points at Tzeentch, "I will not let you get away with this!"

"Oh? Exactly what are you gonna do to me, welp?"

'It has been a while, but at least I remember how to duel.' "I challenge you to a duel!"

"Ah, a duel against the Author of Fate I see. Then I know of what game to play."

"Huh?" Yuya is confused, "But I already have one in mind."

Magnus goes, "Oh fuck! Not that stupid game!"

Tzeentch announces, "We're gonna play, Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth-Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker!"

Yuya asks Magnus, "What is that?"

"It's a stupid children's card game." Magnus replies.

"And I see you already have your deck." Tzeentch notices.

"Wait, what?" Yuya looks at his duel disk. "You mean Duel Monsters, right?"

"Exactly! Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth-Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker!"

Yugo says, "It's called, Duel Monsters, man!"

"Whatever. What are your terms?"

"My terms are that you change Zuzu back, give Celina back her voice, and leave us alone!" Yuya demanded.

"Anything else?"

Magnus points at himself to let Yuya know that he needs saving.

"And we get to keep Magnus and you shall never claim him again."

"Very well, human RATLING! For this, is an Ultra-Game."

The entire room becomes like outer space with blue lighting with a map of Ultramar.

Rin asks, "What exactly is going on?"

"Well then, my indigo-haired vixen."

"I'm not indigo, I'm green."

"This is what we call an Ultra-Game, where you are banished into the Realm of Ultramar."

"Ultramar doesn't exist anymore, moron!" Magnus points out.

Yuya says, "Anyway, let's duel!" He puts his goggles on and the hard-light hologram of his duel disk shined out as he load his deck. "It's time, to swing into action!"

Tzeentch's deck pops up, "Then allow me to start."

"WAIT!" Magnus shouts. "Let me safeguard your mind from Tzeentch's mind reading!"

A red psychic hand appears from Magnus as a blue hand appears from Tzeentch as the two hands arm wrestle.

Yuto offers his power, "I'll help out as well!" A purple psychic hand also appears as it arm wrestle another blue hand. Yuto struggles as he underestimated Tzeentch's power. 'He's strong.' he sweats, 'This guy is definitely a god.'

The duel starts with both duelists have 4000 life points.

"Allow me to start." Tzeentch draws. "First, I play Hand Destruction! It could possibly and ultimately send all the cards of our hand to the grave." Both duelists put their entire hand into the graveyard and drew new cards. "And I would probably place this little number face down in defensive position." He places a card face down. "And this little number face down." He place a card face down in his spell and trap zone. "Is it the end of my turn? ...Yes. Let's see what you have you puny mortal."

Yuya draws. "Right." He looks at his hand, 'Let's see here. I have my Performapal Card Canard, Performapal Duck Dealer, and Pendulum Card Burst. Perhaps I should use these.' "Alright. First, I summon my Performapal Duck Dealer."

Magnus looks at the duck and goes, "Oh for fuck's sake, what the Warp is that?"

Yuto struggles, "Don't...underestimate Yuya... Trust me..."

"Since I summoned my duck friend, I can special summon Performapal Card Canard. Now I activate my Pendulum Card Burst. This spell sends two of my pendulum monsters from the field to the extra deck and let's me draw two cards." Yuya draws two cards as he smiles, 'Perfect.'

"Wait!" Tzeentch says. "What the hell is a pendulum monster?"

"Trust me, you'll see. And now I set the pendulum scales!" He places Performapal Odd-Eyes Seer and Performapal Ignition Eagle into the pendulum zone as his duel disk lights-up 'PENDULUM' in rainbow.

Both monsters appear with one having the scale of 1 above and the other having a scale of 10. A large pendulum appears over Yuya as it swings between the two before it starts spinning in rapid speeds.

"Swing far, pendulum! Carve the arc of victory! My monsters are ready to swing into action!" Five lights came out of the circle where the pendulum is swinging. "Welcome back Performapal Card Burst! You too, Performapal Duck Dealer! Let's bring some magic, Performapal Odd-Eyes Dissolver! Get ready for some tuning, Performapal Odd-Eyes Synchron! Now put your hands together and welcome... our main attraction! One of the wonders of the dragon world, the spectacular Odd-Eyes Dragon!"

"Holy shit!" Magnus is surprised. "That's a game breaking feature. And I thought the ban list for it was outrageous."

"But I'm not done."

"Of course."

"Now I activate the effect of my Dissolver, which allows me to fuse him with any monsters in my pendulum zone. And I choose, my Performapal Odd-Eyes Seer! ...to bring out a diabolical botanical. I Fusion Summon! The vicious, voracious, and venomous Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!"

Yuri grins menacingly, "Now that's my card!"

"But that's not all folks! Now I tune my Perfromapal Odd-Eyes Tuner with my Performapal Ignition Eagle! Beat your wings to whip up a whirlwind of destruction! I Synchro Summon! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!"

Yugo goes, "Ah yeah! Rev this duel up, Yuya!"

"Now I overlay my Performapal Duck Dealer and my Performapal Card Canard to Xyz summon! Cloaked in shadows and relentless in its objective, I call upon the most dangerous of dragons! I Xyz Summon Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"

Yuto smiles as he struggles, "Nice work..."

"And now, with all four dragons, let's close the curtain on this abominable calamari!"

Tzeentch pause, "...Now that's just rude."

Magnus shouts, "Fuck you, Tzeentch! You lost!"

"Go, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Spiral flame strike!"

Odd-Eyes Pendulum unleashes a spiral of flames from its mouth and attacks the face down.

"Nope! For you triggered my monster's effect!"

The card flips over to reveal Morphing Jar #2.

"This little jar may or may not make all your monsters disappear and place everything back to their decks! So much for your hard work, goggle brat!"

"Not if I use a special card." Yuya then jumps on some of the platforms in order to find an action card.

"The fuck is he doing?" Magnus asks.

Yuya jumps up and grabs the card. He smiles, 'Perfect.' He reveals the card, "I activate the action card, Detour! This card negates your monster's effect and you take 500 points of damage!"

"WHAT?!"

Morphing Jar 2's effect is negated and gets destroyed by Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's attack.

"THAT IS SO FUCKING CHEATING!"

Magnus laughs, "HA! Take that! In your face Tzeentch!"

"Now my dragons, attack his life points directly!"

The other three dragons charge in and attack Tzeentch as he screams and his life points hit zero.

"And that's curtains everyone!"

Everyone except Tzeentch cheer for Yuya's victory.

Tzeentch pauses in frustration. "This. Never. Happened."

"Fuck you, Tzeentch!" Magnus says happily, "You just lost to a mortal! HA!"

"NO!" and Tzeentch disappeared after changing everything back. Well...almost.

"Zuzu!" Yuya is glad to see Zuzu back to normal.

"That was a close one, ribbit. I thought I have to eat bugs for a living, ribbit."

Everyone look at Zuzu and realized that she is ribbiting towards the end of each sentence.

Lulu notices that her hair is a different color, "Oh no! My hair is indigo now!"

Celina tries to speak, but can only speak Japanese. Which is ironic if you get the joke.

"What the-!?" Yuya tries to take his goggles off but he can't. "I can't get my goggles off!"

Magnus sighs, "I'll work on some counter curses."

Washu says, "Well, that was fun. But that was a little too complicated for it to be a child's card game."

All of a sudden Ai is next to her, "You can say that again. Just wait until we get to link summons."

The two of them look at each other and go, "Wait, who are you?"
