Yu-Gi-Oh! EXOLVE -NORTHLIGHT-
Chapter 1: Through the Road of Mirage
The Dream, Unknown Unknown - Unknown
Somewhere within the clouded skies during the night where the grounds below are empty, but there were floating islands… But, there was one person who was seen on the ground floating in the sky. A young man with spiky flame-like brown/red hair style whose hair is longer at the neck of it. But, he wore his white graphic t-shirt that shows the UFO zapping the billboard sign that says "RAGE" on it and black shorts. He opened his brown eyes as he stared at the stars. But he got up and looked around to see a world like this as beautiful. However, he saw something from afar where there was a battle in the sky happening where it appears to be god-like beings fighting each other. A battle between good and evil. The clash was loud as it was destructive. He could see the humanoid gods fighting against a winged beast that is apparently deadly. However, he looked at a dreadful wyrm that was massive as it roared loudly which shocked everyone, even him. The wyrm then prepares to charge up its powerful blast from its maw. Then, it fired a blast towards them until one god-like being charged in to take the hit as it created a powerful explosion that started to engulf the area. The winds were very strong as the young man tried to cover himself until he was blown right off the floating land as he was seen screaming, falling down into the endless abyss. That until…
4/14/20XX Hoshino Residence, Minoto, Atismata City Morning - Clear Sky
"GAH! W-Whoa!" The young man felt the pain as he quickly got up from his bed. His room was nothing out of the ordinary. He has a table with a new version of the Duel Disk created by Gargantua Enterprises and his Deck. However, he tried to find out who flicked his head in the first place.
"Good morning, my adorable little brother Yukato.~ Glad I woke you up, didn't I?" The young woman had long lilac-purple/brown hair with light blue eyes. However, she was seen wearing a female school uniform of a black sweater. But her smile and kindness is sweet as an angel.
"Honestly, Shizuru. You really need to stop looking out for me at a time like this. I can wake up on my own…" The young man is named Yukato Hoshino, who is apparently one year younger than her sister Shizuru. But, her older sister would only lightly pout and raise her finger up to inform him.
"With the way you say that you won't." Shizuru continued. "We're going to be late for school, you know? After all, I am your big sister."
"Uh huh… I'm aware of that…" He then gets off his bed as he stands up. "The walk to school isn't that long. It's just a ten minute walk. Plus, aren't you gonna make breakfast?"
"I already did. It's just the usual egg and toast. Should be good enough to keep us going. You can thank me later for that.~" Shizuru happily said to him as she was ready to leave his room. "And make sure you get changed, okay?~"
"I will. I don't want you seeing me shirtless… I've already caught you once." Yukato then glared at her as she simply giggled and left the room.
"Good grief…" Yukato sighed as he decided to get changed. Just as he did, he now wears a slate-colored jacket with a white dress undershirt and black slim pants. He puts his socks on as he grabs his Duel Disk and Deck. However, he nearly forgot one thing as he grabbed his light blue crystal necklace as he wore it over his neck as he headed straight downstairs after leaving his room.
As he comes to the living room where the TV was left on as it was seen showing the screen of the introduction of the new version of the Duel Disk made by Zionda Enterprises where it is capable of creating a blade projection for the duel field. However, he looks at the table next to the kitchen where their breakfast was already ready. He took the bread with an egg on it as he comes to see the photo frame of him and Shizuru as kids. But, something was off as their parents were there but their faces were covered because it was poorly cropped. Yet, it meant something to him as he was starting to space out until…
"Yukato? Are you okay?" Shizuru called out for her brother as he snapped back to reality and looked at her.
"It's nothing… Let's get going, okay?" Yukato said to her straight to her eye as he remained calm. However, this only attracted her attention as his older sister started to have small sparkles in her eyes because she simply couldn't resist his charming face of his young brother.
"Right!~" Shizuru happily nods in agreement as he only sighed in embarrassment.
"Honestly…" Yukato placed his right hand to his head as he finished eating his food. Then, they two prepared to head off.
Minoto, Atismata City Morning - Clear Sky
As the two walked down from the steep streets of Minoto's Residential Area here in the lustrous futuristic showcase city of Atismata where the shining white spiraling tower is seen from afar where the tower is located within the center of the city itself which has the hologram logo which came from "Sagelight Corporation". Sagelight, who has created the format of Extreme Rush Duel or XRD for short. The format has been loved by the entire world. And as for the city itself, Atismata has been considered as the new heart of Extreme Rush Dueling where it has been enjoyed by kids and adults alike who take joy in dueling. But what's new here in this city is that this city has accepted human-like beings in this society known as Beastmen. Demihumans with animalistic-traits with ears and tails. But there are still people who would discriminate against them while others tend to stay away. As for the two who attend the same high school, they do indeed have Beastmen who attend there but there is always a problem that they'll be picked on. However, Yukato couldn't shake off his mind that he visions the dream from before where the skies were boundless where the gods were fighting each other. So, he tried to ask his sister about it.
"Hey… Shizuru… There's something I want to talk to you about." Yukato asked his sister as she looked at him with her brows raised in curiosity.
"Hmm? Really? Is there something you want to talk about?" Shizuru asked him as he spoke.
"I've been having these weird dreams lately…" Yukato continued. "I was dreaming where I was seen standing on a floating island in the night sky filled with endless clouds. There was no ground below as well. There, there were gods fighting against each other from afar until a massive dragon destroyed everything. Do you believe that?"
"Let me see… Just from what you said… I think you're just being silly, my dear little brother. Aren't you too old to assume these wild fantasies?~" Shizuru giggled in response as he sighed.
"I swear… you're unbelievable." Yukato closed his eyes and shrugged it off. But, the two soon headed their way to school as the two had small talks along the way. However, Yukato grabs out his phone that is connected to his Augma as he goes through his music player. Just as she skimmed through the music, he picked the one he wanted. The song Shinkirou by Frederic. Just as the song plays, he started to listen well to the rhythm and beat as his Augma was playing to his ear. For some reason, he simply liked that music which suits his taste. But still, they hoped they were not late.
Bladerights High School Section, Minoto, Atismata City Morning - Clear Sky
And so as minutes passed, they finally arrived at the school gates of this place which is none other than the high school of Bladerights itself. All the students were seen entering through the gate as some were talking to each other while walking together. And some prefer to walk alone. As the two finally arrived at the school, Yukato decided to use his phone and stop the music. Since his older sister Shizuru was with him, he wouldn't mind having company such as her. But as for this school. Bladerights is considered to be one of Atismata's most prestigious academies when it comes to dueling. Not only Bladerights has their High School section. It also has the Middle School Section which is found at right exactly here but in the other building. While the Elementary exists, it's only found just to the north of this building but a little far here in the sector of Minoto.
"Just an ordinary day here…" Yukato said to himself as Shizuru spoke in.
"Indeed it is. But isn't it great the you can also try meeting new friends?" Shizuru suggested as he ignored her.
"Ahh. I see you two are slightly on time." The voice of a woman spoke as she wore the same female uniform like the rest of the female students here like Shizuru. But, she had long waist-length dark navy blue hair and dark blue eyes. Her face is more pristine than anybody else. Thus, she even kept her smile more uptight as usual despite being an elegant and mature girl.
"Hmm? You're Rei Shijo, right? Sorry if I forget, Rei. I should thank you for helping me out the other day." Yukato said to her as she lightly blushed from his compliment but she kept her composure while being open towards the two.
"P-Please. Pay it no mind. I was just waiting for you two to arrive here. But, have you heard the news going on recently? It seems one of our classmates has been targeting people's decks and it is not pleasant." Rei informed of the two as he seemed to be aware for some reason.
"Is that so? If you mean by people… does it mean targeting Beastmens who duel?" Yukato asked her.
"It could be anyone. However, we should continue our talks in class. We don't want to be late, wouldn't we?" Rei suggested as his sister nodded.
"Of course! We would never be late just to get penalized. Let us go, Yukato! We must hurry!" Shizuru said hastily as she grabbed his arm and proceeded to fast walk much to his attention.
"H-Hey! L-Let me go! I can walk on my own, you know!?" Yukato exclaimed while panicking as he was being dragged by his sister. However, Rei chuckled with a smile knowing the two haven't changed since they've been friends since the three attended this school. She then decided to follow them to head straight into class.
Classroom, Bladesright High School, Minoto, Atismata City Morning - Clear Sky
Then inside the classroom of the third floor where there were a lot of students here as they were seen hanging out before class starts. As for Yukato, he was seen sitting on the far left side of the seat where he would get to see out the window packed with Duel Fields outside. He could see the people from below as they were enjoying themselves in a good duel against each other. However, he uses his Augma's newest feature to create a new augmented reality vision where it acts as a separate world. The augmented reality field was capable of making Duel Monsters feel more alive. Then, he decided to turn off the Augmented Reality Field as he gets approached by his classmates who seem to appreciate his dueling style.
"Hey man! You gotta teach me how to duel! I'm trying out my Sevens Road Magician deck to see how it works. Do you have any tips on using his ability?" One of his classmates asked him about it as he spoke with uninterest as he spoke.
"Fine… Sevens Road Magician's effect allows to perform Elemental Road. What it does is that it gains Attack Points equal to the number of different attributes in your graveyard by 300 each. Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Dark, and Divine. If you have all attributes in your graveyard for example, Sevens Road Magician's Original Attack Points is 2100. But if you have all seven different attributes in your graveyard, that will combine into 2100. Combine that together and you get the total of 4200 Attack Points. It simply requires luck to pull that off so don't get that over your head." Yukato said to his classmate as he seemed well-informed.
"Really!? You're the man, Yukato-san! I gotta hand that respect to ya! Thanks a bunch!" The classmate said to him with glee as he headed back to his table. But another one comes as it appears to be a female classmate who was seen holding a card that appears to be Black Rose Dragon.
"E-Excuse me? Can you help me on what's the best combo for using this card?" The female classmate asked him as he shifted his eyes then back to the window as he knew that card.
"Interesting… Black Rose Dragon, right?" Yukato continued. "If you want the most optimal combo. Summon both White Rose Dragon and Red Rose Dragon, then proceed to summon Black Rose Dragon on the field. Next, activate the monster's effect. But chain with Red Rose Dragon then to White Rose Dragon. Once you do, send one Plant card from your deck to your Graveyard through White Rose Dragon's effect. Then, special summon Blue Rose Dragon into your field through Red Rose Dragon's effect. And once that, destroy all cards on both fields entirely."
"B-But… is that even optimal?" The female classmate asked.
"It's not the end of the world. Don't worry… That's where Blue Rose Dragon comes into play. Activate its Graveyard effect from that monster and bring back Black Rose Dragon into your field. And there you have it." Yukato explained as she seemed awed by his knowledge on his combos work.
"Really? That's amazing! But what if my opponent intends to negate my combo?" The female classmate felt worried about it.
"Use the Spell Card called Dark Ruler No More. It'll help you." Yukato added as she nodded.
"Thank you! I'll definitely get that once I have the chance!" The female classmate then happily heads back to the table.
Yukato sighed as he looked to see his older sister having a chat with her own classmates as Rei was part of the conversation. He then looked at the table up at the right to see two classmates playing a game of Duel Monsters on the table as they were using their cards to kill time before the class starts. Though, the two seemed to be enjoying themselves as one of his opponents won as the other wanted a rematch. However, he started to revisit this particular dream from the last time where he was falling down from the endless sky as he snapped back into reality when he saw Rei approaching him who had finished talking with the girls as she seemed to be eager to talk to him. Though, she's the only person who can understand him while Yukato was open to speak with her regarding things in life.
"I see you're just relaxing, Yukato." Rei said as she looked out the window where Yukato was looking to see the people dueling outside at the duel fields. "Seems these people are dueling in a morning like this, don't you think?"
"Probably. That guy over there… he's using his Red-Eyes deck and he managed to summon out Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon on his 5th turn. But the problem is… his opponent already has three cards face down. And one of these cards has a Trap Card ready." Yukato said until he looked at her usual smile. "Hmm?"
"I know you're the only person who I can talk to but…" Rei then lightly raises her finger up as she tries to remind him. "You need to make sure that you're seriously studying. Haven't you figured out your results on your last test?"
"Last test? I hit 60 percent. Which means it's a passing grade, right?" Yukato said to her as she seemed to agree but to disagree.
"True but no. Just recently, the headmaster informed everyone here that everyone needs to have 70% or higher in order to pass. Those below those percentages will be considered to be a failure and worst of all… a guaranteed risk of expulsion." Rei said as if it would send Yukato chills down his spine. But, he was never fazed at all.
"Uh huh… Then I suppose I will try to take studying a bit seriously… on a small scale." Yukato said until the bell rings as the PA Speaker spoke since it uses an automated announcement.
"Attention everyone, class is starting soon. Please get to your classrooms. And remember: Dueling is prohibited during class time. I repeat. Thank you." The speaker spoke as everyone here in the class noticed to get back to their seats and the people who were dueling were forced to stop. Yukato looked outside the window to see the people at the duel field had their battle interrupted as the class was starting. Just as everyone in this third floor classroom sat to their seats including Rei and Shizuru as the ordinary teacher arrives here.
"Alright, everyone. Settle down. I know it's the usual but we need to make sure that all of you are well taught in the ways of dueling. Now then, I will lecture and teach you all about the history of Lieseltania. So grab out your textbook and let's get started." The teacher said as he informed everyone as he seemed to be laid back while scratching the back of his head.
So, their time in the classroom has begun while Yukato on his desk ignores the study as he looks out the window to see the blue skies instead. Shizuru only looked at him to see him stare off into the sky as she decided to look back to focus back on studying. Yet, Yukato lives an ordinary life where Extreme Rush Dueling has become a commonplace and a norm in this society. Yet, he barely puts up a good job on studying. All he ever wanted to do is to duel. Dueling meant something to him. A way to improve, adapt, and understand. But, as minutes passed by he seemed to be struggling to keep himself awake. However, the teacher didn't seem to care about look at his students as one of them like Yukato who decided to lay his head down on his arms as he felt tired, he had no interest in listening as he slowly closes his eyes as everything turned to black and the sounds around him fades into complete nothingness. As everything seemed bleak and quiet. He slowly opens his eyes… finding himself floating in the empty black void. But, he stood on the glass shard-like platform which acts as a bridge, a path towards somewhere. Yet, the place remained mysterious as he tried to look around. When he looked behind, there was nothing. Knowing that this only leads to one path, he decided to walk forward to the fractured floor as every shard of floor rises up everytime he walks. He kept going and going, unsure if there is an end somewhere in this void. But, every step he makes, he starts to pick up the pace slowly as he proceeds to run. He started to see what's ahead. There was a door-like corridor brimming with white light. He stopped running to slow down as he looked at it. Yukato couldn't see of what's ahead. But just as he was about to make one step forward, the corridor began to disappear right in front of him as the dark mist swirls around him as he covered himself. Just as the swirl of mist dies down… There was a cloaked person in black standing there. But for some reason, Yukato couldn't move at all as he felt some sort of a dread coming to him as things were becoming a bit too intense. The mysterious figure approached him as he was about to take hold of Yukato. But suddenly, his crystal necklace began reacting brightly as the mysterious figure got blinded by the crystal necklace's light as his hand was burning from the light itself. The figure's voice was rather demonic but it started to groan in pain as the blue fire consumed him greatly. It then roared as the figure was erased as the light blinds Yukato once again. The light dies once more as he comes to see the floating white cube in the sky as it slowly floats down to him. Though, it was simply a cube but more than that. He was unsure about it but he then proceeded to lend his hand out as his hand touched the cube. But there was a ripple on the cube then his hand came into contact. Then, he would dive his hand deep inside until he felt something. The cube glows brightly until it disperse into particles of light, then it reveals to be glowing cards as it starts to fly up into the air and begins scattering itself. But on Yukato's hand was the glowing card itself. He tried to take a glance at it but the card glowed brightly as everything blinded into complete blank white. And so… he begins to return to reality. Just as he did, he slowly opened his eyes as he lifted his head up… only to realize that the class was already over and break time had begun. He looked around until he saw Rei and Shizuru who looked at him. But, her older sister would respond otherwise.
"Geez!~ You really have to sleep during class when the teacher isn't looking at you, hmm?" Shizuru continued. "After all, you really need to focus on your studies or else you'll be flunking!"
"Shizuru's right, Yukato." Rei said with a calm stern look on her face. "Either way, we can't have you slacking off or else you'll be in trouble if our teacher finds out about it."
"Sorry… It's just that.. Nevermind. I'll try to pay attention next time. It's break time, right? I suppose I want to get some fresh air. You can come with me if you like… I guess?" Yukato said to the two as they nodded.
"Of course! I'd be happy to accompany my adorable little bro!~" Shizuru was happily squirming with bliss as Rei only sweatdropped because of her response.
"Well, I suppose it wouldn't be bad to follow you outside. After all, people are allowed to duel during the break session. We should head to the Duel Fields to see what's going on." Rei suggested the place that Yukato and herself saw earlier that people were dueling outside of the building where the Dueling Grounds are found. While Bladerights does have Duel Fields outside, they do indeed have the main one which is inside its own Dueling Auditorium.
"I'd be down for that. After all, I wanted to see how they duel so I can understand their playstyles." Yukato said with a small smile as he decided to leave the classroom with his friend and older sister in tow.
Dueling Grounds, Bladerights High School, Minoto, Atismata City Daytime - Clear Sky
And so they arrived at the Bladerights' own Dueling Grounds where people can duel as much as they want within the time limit during the break session. All three had their Augmas on which they were using the new Augmented Reality system similar to those stationary 4D Augment Field Projectors. However there were about five Duel Fields at the time since it can hold so many, but people come here to watch and sometimes duel against each other. Yukato isn't quite popular despite he's a Duelist. He enjoys them as it means to him.
"People are sure busy today. Seems it's currently full today. Shame that we didn't have a chance to duel when you were quietly asleep." Rei added as he sighed.
"Uh huh… Hmm?" Yukato noticed to see of what's going on. Shizuru wasn't the biggest fan of bullying but they all saw on the middle of the Duel Field itself… There was a young man with spiky ashen gray hair with brown eyes who had the most intimidating face yet as he recently won his duel against a certain wolf beastmen who was seen kneeling on the floor.
"This guy… I don't like him at all…" Shizuru said with a serious look on her face.
"That's… Who is he again?" Yukato tried to remember who his name was as Rei talked.
"Daniel Morris… One of Bladerights' notorious duelists who takes decks from people if they lose. He plays a Blackwing deck, that's for sure…" Rei said as they continued to watch the situation…
"Weak… you're too weak!" Daniel said with anger on his face. "For a Beastmen like you, you're so weak. And here you are, kneeling in defeat like a loser you are. I can't believe you lost to my Blackwing so easily… I'll take the liberty by taking your decks away. You won't be needing those…"
"M-My deck…! Give it back… please!" The beastmen said as his deck was taken by a human named Daniel who decided to ignore him and left. But that is until the three stepped in.
"Isn't it rude for you to steal someone's deck that isn't yours, Daniel?" Yukato approached him with a serious gaze in his eyes. But this only piqued Daniel's interest.
"Well, well, well… You must be Yukato Hoshino. An dumb underachiver who performs well in dueling, but underperforms in studying. To what I owe you this pleasure?" Daniel asked him.
"You best give back the deck to him. That isn't yours!" Shizuru demanded to do so as he started to laugh a bit.
"Ahahaha! Me? Give the deck back to those beastmen? Fat chance, lady! You're barking up the wrong tree here! That dork I dueled? That's a beastmen. And beastmens like him should live in a pile of trash." Daniel spat in arrogance as everyone started to catch wind of this situation as people started to gossip one after another.
"You have a lot of nerves to disrespect those Beastmen. They deserve to live, not to be disrespected like lesser beings." Rei retorted as Daniel whistled.
"Fighting words from a woman, huh? You got fangs. I'll give you that. If you're trying to ask for a death wish… you got one." Daniel had a smirk on his face until he stepped in.
"I think you had your fun. But stealing decks from people is at an all time low for you." Yukato continued with a serious look on his face.
"Hmph! What are you going to do about it, huh?" Daniel said to him.
"XRD… We'll settle this battle with an XRD format.. If I win, hand the decks back to the people you've stolen." Yukato demanded as Daniel had a cocky smile on his face.
"Fine, If I win. I'll take your deck next." Daniel then continued as proceeded to leave. But, he spoke once more. "Atismata Fountain Plaza… you can't miss it…"
Daniel then proceeds to leave as Yukato tightens his grips as he stands there with his head down. He grabs to look at his necklace for a brief moment as he looks up in the sky with a sigh. However, far from the scene… There was a female student with sky-turquoise hair with the sides of her hair which was neck-length but the back of her hair had waist-length pigtails. Her eyes were dark teal green but her left eye is covered by an white eyepatch. Though, she was seen hiding behind the black light pole as she was eyeing Yukato. Though, she decided to turn around and leave the area without being seen at all…
Labyrinth Pastries, Minoto, Atismata City Afternoon - Clear Sky
As time passed by… it was after school as everyone had finished what they're doing. Yukato, Shizuru, and Rei had already entered the store where it sells desserts and all those kinds. There was a young woman with red waist-length hair with a front middle bang curved to the left by a little, red eyes, and black frame glasses. She also wore her black torn shirt along with her red apron for work that she currently owns. But there was a name tag on her apron which said "Akira Mosakuji".
"Let me guess… You're going to duel one of Bladeright's dangerous duelists after he took the Beastmen's deck? Are you sure that's wise?" Akira said to Yukato as he was seen drinking a cup of water he ordered on the bar table as he was seen relaxing but thinking. All he could ever do is to remain calm.
"It is… I can't let Daniel do as he pleases. Besides… I already know what deck he uses… but I haven't seen it in action. That's the problem." Yukato continued as he looked at Shizuru whose hairstyle is now shaped into a braid resting on the front of her left shoulders as she was seen rapidly chopping up smaller fruits with ease while wearing the same apron that Akira wore. But, she apparently works part time here. "Also, Shizuru… Don't go too fast… You're going to cut yourself by complete accident…"
"Don't worry, Yukato! Leave it to your big sister. I can handle anything.~" Shizuru said with glee as he sighed.
"Yukato, are you sure you can pull this off?" Akira said to him as she continued. "Judging by your looks… I guess you have experience in dueling. Did your sister train you?"
"More or less. I taught myself how to duel." Yukato said as he brought out his deck as he looked over them. His deck consists of Junk-based Synchro monsters as he was skimming through. But he had one particular Synchro Card which was none other than [Sonic Racer Ralmia]. And the other card he had that he bought from the booster pack was [Ookanemitsu]. This Ralmia card was a gift from Shizuru when he was young at the time. But for some reason, the card meant some sort of importance to him. "What about you, Akira? Do you duel?"
"Used to. Not anymore. But, I do watch them for a reason. I can see why people have a desire to duel." Akira continued as she talked to him. "But, when I started to duel… my dad used to say this to me… 'When it comes to Dueling. Duel with the passion you love'."
"That… sounds kinda inspirational." Yukato said as she nodded.
"Yup. Though, I took part in this city's World Festival Duel when I was your age. Sadly, I lost to a man named Mana Senri. He's a well-exceptional duelist, I'll tell you what." Akira said as she reminisced about the past.
"Mana? He's a former World Festival Duel Champion, right? He's a good guy I heard…" Yukato wondered as she nodded.
"He was… but he was later missing to that day and replaced by the current champion. Say, how about I treat you to something nice. Like one of my finest crepes? People who come here want to get a piece of it. Don't worry, it's free of charge." Akira asked him for a free offer on one of her known desserts that she sells.
"Sure. I could get something sweet before I get my duel against Daniel. Take your time." Yukato said to the former Duelist as she nodded with a smile on her face.
"Say no more. Shizuru! Let's get to it." Akira said to his older sister as she nodded.
"You got it!~" Shizuru agreed as she proceeded to get into it. But there was something small approaching towards them where she was floating in the air.
"Honestly, I'd never expect to see you here, Yukato. I heard about your upcoming duel. You're literally signing your death warrant!" The small winged woman was seen floating to look at his face with a pout on her expression. She is a very small, yet beautiful fairy. She has long, wavy candy pink hair that ombres to a blue color. She has tied a piece of her hair into a ponytail on the side, that curls on the tip. She has small turquoise and purple coloured eyes. Above her chest, she has a red crystal. She is seen wearing a very long light yellow dress, and under it, a white dress, that is slightly shorter than the yellow one. She also wears big round red earrings and red high-heeled pumps. She sometimes wears gold bracelets. She also has sky blue wings, which are seen pointing out behind her hair, at the back.
"Oh, Reatier. I see you're doing okay as usual. I'm just re-checking my decks so I can prepare myself for this moment." Yukato greeted her normally as he skimmed through his cards as the fairy Reatier looked at them for a quick moment.
"Seriously? You still use that same deck? Didn't you have a second one that you made?" Reatier asked him with her hands on her hips.
"That? I'm not using it. This will be my main deck from now on unless things change. For now, I just need to prepare for something worse." Yukato said until Akira arrived with the finished dessert.
"I do agree on that. Why don't you ease off a bit, Reatier. Just relax." Akira said to her fairy with a smile as she crossed with her arms and sighs.
"But you don't have to be rude…" Reatier responded as Akira handed him the Crepes as he ate it.
"It's not bad… You sure know how to make things well. Aside from my sister helping you." Yukato said as he continued. "That reminds me, Shizuru. You'll be finished after work, right?"
"Certainly but… the boss here told me that I have to work overtime. Apparently, she wants to hold off her own weekly Legend of Astrum Tabletop meetup with her friends. So I won't be coming home until midnight." Shizuru said to her brother as he ate his dessert. But when she heard that Akira wanted to start a tabletop RPG today, this only made him a little curious.
"Friends?" Yukato asked the owner as she nodded.
"Yeah. Four of them, actually. A boy who is just innocent but kind as ever, he even acts like a child. A girl who claims to be a princess with an endless appetite for food no matter what she eats. A young girl who is well-mannered and kind like that boy, but she always follows him around. And that girl who has more of that umm… how should I put it… a tsundere personality." Akira said as she described the four that she met she envisioned those four where their bodies were covered by shadows like a silhouette. But, she snaps back to reality. "Ahh, sorry. I kinda got carried away. Once you finish eating, why don't you head home and call it a day? I can tell you're tired from all that studying."
"Perhaps you're right… I have a long way ahead of me. But this time… I'll- ngh!" Yukato started to feel a jolt from his head as he started to see a mysterious figure reaching its hand out towards him as the visuals were completely static and glitching out for a second until he snaps back to reality. "D-Damn… You're right, Akira. I should rest. Shizuru, I'm going to head home. Sorry if our talk is rather short, Reatier. And thanks for the dessert…"
"O-Oh… make sure you get home safely! And make sure you don't go outside during the night while I work, okay?~" Shizuru told him as he waved it off as he was going to leave as he still had his Crepes on his hand.
"Geez… talk about a sudden abruption… Say, Akira… When is this… tabletop thing happening again?" Reatier asked her as she checked her phone for once.
"In about ten minutes. So try to be on your best behavior, okay?" Akira told her fairy as she groaned in the process.
Hoshino Residence, Minoto, Atismata City Evening - Clear Sky
As the time passes by into the night… Yukato was seen in his room with the lights turned on as he was on his table where he was skimming through his decks once more to double check them. After what happened when he was at the Labyrinth Pastries involving a jump to a mystery memory where he met a mysterious figure. He tried to shake it off as he restacked his deck and left it there on his table. He looked next to his Duel Disk on his table as well where he sighs.
"I guess I'm just overthinking it… I'll just go to bed and start the day off fresh…" Yukato said to himself as he continued… "Tomorrow… Atismata Fountain Plaza… Daniel's waiting for me. But if I have to give it my all, then I shall."
Yukato decided to head off to bed as he turned off the light so he can sleep peacefully while his sister is working overtime. Now, he is sleeping soundly as everything is silent in this quiet neighborhood. As time went on… a mysterious glowing figure in white appeared above him while he was asleep. But, the figure looked at his deck and duel disk left on his table but looked back at Yukato. So, the figure decided to take control of his body when he tried to reach his hand out to touch his chest. But instead, he touched the blue crystal necklace by accident where it started to react brightly as the figure then tried to cover its face from the brightness of the crystal. Eventually… It was sucked inside his necklace as if everything was back to normal as Yukato remained uninterrupted by a sudden appearance of a figure.
4/15/20XX Atismata Fountain Plaza, Atismata City Daytime - Clear Sky
It was the next day… Yukato was now seen in his casual clothing as he had the same t-shirt from the previous morning but he now has white fur hoodie and black pants as he stood there with Shizuru in her casual clothing as well. Rei was also here as the three had finally met with Daniel who was with two of his own lackeys. The two stared each other down with their eyes as Daniel had a smirk on his face.
"I'm glad to see you here… To see you lose, that is." Daniel taunted as Yukato kept his composure.
"Lose? Like that's going to happen. You're going to return the Decks you've stolen. So get ready!" Yukato said as he brought out his Duel Disk as Daniel did the same. However, there was the same girl from yesterday where she was seen peeking out from the street light once again where she was seen wearing a black graphic tank top and black punk rock jacket. However, at an unexpected time… Akira was also here as she was on her own food truck to watch the duel in which Reatier was seen sitting on her shoulder. However, both Duelists then prepared themselves for the moment.
"Duel Disk, go!" Both inserted their disk on their left arms as it shifted itself to create a duel plate as it was complete.
"Augma, activate!" Both then activated their Augmas from their right side of their head which is an earpiece as they tapped on the circle as the load was complete.
"Augment Reality Link, established." The voice from the Augma spoke as the entire area of the Fountain Plaza gets swallowed in as it creates an Augment Field right off the bat. And so, the two were ready to duel.
"DUEL!"

"I'll be going first if you don't mind. I draw!" Daniel then drew his card. "First, I play my Spell Card, [Foolish Burial]! This will allow me to send one card to the Graveyard. Next, I summon [Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite] and [Blackwing - Jin the Rain Shadow] in Attack Position!"

"Now, with two of my monsters on my field… I will tune my Level 1 Jin and my Level 4 Zephyros!" Daniel then raises his right hand up as both monsters get converted into stars of the respective levels as it forms itself rings as the numbers of the levels were 1 and 4. But both numbers combine into the number 5 as the beam shines down on the ring. "Behold! I Synchro Summon! Fly into the field, [Assault Blackwing - Sohaya the Rain Storm]!"

[Yukato Hoshino: 8000] - [Hand: 4 to 5] - [Field: None]
"My deck has no pathetic cards, Daniel. Because I draw!" Yukato then drew his card. "Good… First, I play my Spell Card, [Shield Crush]! If your monster is set in Defense Position, it gets destroyed. And the one that will be destroyed is your Sohaya!"
The card appeared on the field as it fired a beam at Sohaya in Defense as it made contact. The monster groaned in pain as it was destroyed, leaving a fine dust of golden particles as Daniel covered himself from the blast.
"Damn…" Daniel cursed.
"Next, I play [Junk Synchron] and [Junk Converter] in Attack Position!" Yukato then summoned two monsters into his field.

Yukato then sends two of his monsters into the stars as it creates rings above the field. The two numbers merged together into number 5 as the beam of light strikes through the ring. "I Synchro Summon! Let's go, [Junk Warrior]!"
Then, his Junk Warrior arrives into the fray as it strikes its iconic pose as the scarf flaps through the wind.

"Wow… You literally use cards based on Junks? No wonder why they're pathetic." Daniel said with sarcasm as he had his right hand to his hip.
"They won't be pathetic once I floor with you. Because I summon [Sonic Warrior] in an Attack Position!" Yukato said as he summoned his monster into the field.

"Next, I place a card facedown." Yukato then placed his card face down. "Time to battle! Go, Junk Warrior! Attack Kunai the Drizzle with Scrap Fist"
Junk Warrior dashes into the action as it hurls a powerful punch as it smacks the face of Drizzle as it was destroyed, resulting in Daniel to lose life points by a small amount.
Daniel's LP: 7800
"Next, I command Sonic Warrior to attack you directly! Go! Sonic Kick!" Yukato then commands his second monster as Sonic Warrior leaps into the air and dives down, straight up kicking him as he takes damage while standing his ground.
Daniel's LP: 6800
"And so my turn ends." Yukato said with small confidence as he said in his thoughts. "I just have a bad feeling about this. I'll never know what he'll do next."
"I must say… Yukato is really getting the hang of this. Not only he managed to get rid of two monsters. He even has his own Synchro Monster in play. Junk Warrior is indeed a strong foe." Rei said to herself as she continued to observe but his sister cheered on otherwise.
"Yukato!~ Make sure you beat him so you can win this duel! Make me proud!~" Shizuru cheered as Yukato sweatdrops but ignored her.
-TURN 3/Daniel-
[Daniel Morris: 6800] - [Hand: 1 to 5] - [Field: None]
[Yukato Hoshino: 8000] - [Hand: 5 to 0] - [Field: Junk Warrior, Sonic Warrior, 1 Card FD (S/TZ)]
"Is that all you have? I'm quite disappointed. But it's my turn! I draw!" Daniel then drew 4 more cards as he now has a total of 5. "I summon [Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind] and [Blackwing - Kris the Crack of Dawn] in Attack Position!"

[ATK Position]

DEF: 2000
"Since I Synchro Summoned this monster with Blackwings as material, this card will act as a Tuner monster. But it's effective! For every Blackwings sent to the Graveyard is about 300 Attack Points. Since I have four Blackwings in my Graveyard over the course of this duel, Chidori gains the total of 1200 Attack Points!" Daniel said as his monsters receive an aura of overflowing power as its attack points increase.
Assault Blackwing - Chidori's Attack Points: 2600 + 1200 = 3800
"Now, it's time for battle! Chidori attacks your Junk Warrior! Sparkling Slash!" Daniel commands his monster to attack his Junk Warrior until…
"Not so fast! You think I'd let you do that? Because I play my Trap Card, [Mirror Force]! When your monster declares an attack. All monsters or rather… your single monster in Attack Position is destroyed!" Yukato uses his counter trap as Chidori strikes the mirror barrier but eventually backfires on the monster as it was destroyed.
"Tch… At this moment, Chidori's effect activates. After it was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, I can target one Assault Blackwing monster that isn't Chidori. So I will bring back [Assault Blackwing - Sohaya the Rain Storm] and end my turn." Daniel said as he brought his Synchro Monster back into his field.

"My turn! I draw!" Yukato then drew up to five fresh cards he can use. "Here goes! I set my card facedown and play my Spell Card, [Scrap Fist]! Since I have Junk Warrior in my field, I can apply it to my Junk Warrior. Which means I can apply one of the effects! Battle! Junk Warrior, attack his Sohaya with Scrap Fist!"
"Even if you destroy my monster in Defense Position, I take no damage as a result." Daniel said with a cocky look on his face but Yukato sighed.
"But I beg to differ." Yukato said as Daniel gasped as he was caught off guard. "One of these effects that I applied to my monster, when Junk Warrior battles a monster in Defense Position… Your monster will take piercing damage! Go!"
Junk Warrior charged right into the action as it swung its right fist onto Sohaya once again as Daniel took damage while covering himself from the blast.
Daniel's LP: 6500
"Now, Sonic Warrior! Attack his life points directly once again!" Yukato continues the pressure as his monster attacks him and he loses more life points.
Daniel's LP: 5500
"Damn it… I shouldn't have underestimated you!" Daniel spat in anger.
"I end my turn. So go ahead and make your move. I already have things prepared for this duel." Yukato said as he watched him struggle.
-TURN 5/Daniel-
[Daniel Morris: 5500] - [Hand: 3 to 5] - [Field: None]
[Yukato Hoshino: 8000] - [Hand: 5 to 4] - [Field: Junk Warrior, Sonic Warrior, 1 Card FD (S/TZ)]
Daniel was gritting his teeth as he couldn't think of a way to come back. However, Daniel started to feel a strange presence creeping up to his spine as he heard the voice.
"You're pathetic. Unable to fight back in a current state like this? You really stoop that low and here you are… Fine, I'll take over your body for a moment. So sit back and watch as I bring everything… into DESPAIR!" The mysterious voice inside Daniel's head spoke until his body was being taken over as he struggled to resist. His yelling and aching pain only allowed that mysterious dark aura to take control of him. But, he screams in primal anguish as the explosion of dark aura surrounds him… But, this wasn't Daniel anymore. It was someone taking over his body. The mysterious red symbol appeared on his forehead while his body was surrounded by darkness. This brought everyone here into confusion as they watched.
"Hmph… This body will do… for now." The mysterious voice coming from Daniel continued. "Allow me to introduce myself, Yukato Hoshino… My name is Azazel. My job is to dispose of humans like you. After all, I bet you haven't seen a Primal before, do you kid?"
"I don't know what you're on about. Azazel or not, I'll beat you here." Yukato said as the voice who named himself Azazel chuckled as he was not amused.
"We'll see about that. I draw!" Azazel then drew his cards. "Now… bear witness of my arrival! I will sacrifice half of my life points!"
Daniel's LP: 2750
"What!? Half of your life points!? Why would you do that!?" Yukato demanded.
"You're about to find out! Now, I will perform a Primal Summon!" Azazel continues as he brings out a shining card as he places it on the Disk's Extra Deck Zone as it responds. Then, the glowing red light started to appear from the ground where Daniel or rather Azazel was standing and started to chant. "From the jet black dread of rebellion. He who will pierce between mortals and the afterlife itself! For it is the time to come! Appear! [Azazel, the Fallen Angel of Rebellion]!"
As the body of Daniel limps down like a puppet, the red circle appears on the field as the Primal Monster finally appears. The monster took on the form of a humanoid as it appears to be a man with black large wings that spreads out. He wore black tight tank tops and black tight pants. But his right arm was covered in cloth where the end of it was left being blown by the wind as his left arm is more revealing of it's white skin as he held a floating red star-like object. He had horns and red eyes. And just as that, he finally appeared.
[ATK Position]
-Azazel the Fallen Angel of Rebellion-
Dark Attribute
God/Primal/Effect
ATK: 2500

Requirement: Pay half of your Life Points, then Special Summon this monster to the Extra Deck Zone.
Effect: During your turn, send the top 10 cards from your Deck to the Graveyard, once you do, this monster gains 1000 Attack Points until the end of the turn.
"Ahhh… It feels good to be free from this body. But don't worry, he's still under my command." Azazel said as everyone watching the duel is astonished that such a card like this has never existed before.
"I-It talks…" Rei said in surprise. "But Primal Monsters? Since when did a card like this exist?"
"I have no idea but… Yukato!~ You better be careful!" Shizuru yelled to her brother as things got pretty tense.
"Azazel… I never heard of that card…" Akira said as she observed. "Reatier. What do you think?"
"I have no idea as well. But from what I read… This card can send the top 10 cards from the deck to the Graveyard. And once that, Azazel gains 1000 Attack Points until the end of the turn. But… This card has no level…" Reatier said about the effect. Though, Akira watched carefully.
"No level… Like Link Monsters but different. Either way, Yukato needs to turn this table around if Azazel were to pull it off." Akira said where at the battle as Yukato himself remained vigilant.
"Now then… since I'm only summoned to this field… Daniel. Do be a good puppet and take things over from here." Azazel said to Daniel as he began to speak in a robotic-like monotone. His eyes were lifeless as well.
"Understood… I activate Azazel's effect." Daniel said as he drew 10 cards from his deck as he sent all 10 to his Graveyard. "I send the top 10 cards from my Deck to the Graveyard. And once that, Azazel gains 1000 Attack Points until the end of the turn."
Azazel's Attack Points: 2500 + 1000 = 3500
"Now I feel powerful… Now, puppet! Do as I say!" Azazel yelled at Daniel as he simply responded.
"Azazel. Attack Yukato's Sonic Warrior with Thanatos Bane." Daniel said as Azazel then uses a dark projectile of knives as he hurls them towards Sonic Warrior as it was destroyed as Yukato covers himself from the blast, But he had lost life points in the process.
Yukato's LP: 5500
"And with that… my turn ends… And at this moment, Azazel's Attack Points reverts back to normal." Daniel said emotionlessly as Azazel chuckled.
"Good. I can't wait to see him struggle…" Azazel said with a smile and malicious intent as he had to grit his teeth. Losing a lot of life points doesn't mean the end for him.
-TURN 6/Yukato-
[Daniel Morris: 2750] - [Hand: 5] - [Field: Azazel]
[Yukato Hoshino: 5500] - [Hand: 4 to 5] - [Field: Junk Warrior, 1 Card FD (S/TZ)]
"Damn it… I'm not giving up here…! I draw!" Yukato then drew his card. "Let's do this… I summon [Jet Synchron] and [Junk Blader] in Attack Mode!"
Yukato then summoned two more monsters alongside Junk Warrior on his field.
[ATK Position]

"Now, I'll go over the limits! I'll tune my Level 1 Jet Synchron with my Level 4 Junk Blader… Along with my Level 5 Synchro Monster Junk Warrior! Go! Synchro Summon once more!" Yukato then raises his right hand up into the air as all three monsters convert into stars of their respective levels as it forms into a ring that stacks up with each other.
"What!?" Azazel said in shock as everyone watched. All three respective numbers of the levels merge into a number 10 as the rings turn light pink as the beam of the same color strikes through the rings to create a new monster he intends to use.
"Behold! My Ace Monster! Fly through the sky and race across the stars! May your speed strike true and fast! Accel Synchro! Appear! [Sonic Racer Ralmia]!" Yukato welcomes his Ace Monster as she finally appears on the field. She was floating in the air as she opened her eyes, revealing her blue eyes with a cross star-like pupil. Her body is completely mechanical and cybernetic as her body is white and her arms are black as her palm has blasters on her hands. Her blonde hair was long that ombres to a neon blue color. She wore a sailor-like uniform with a red ribbon as her long cone-like skirt had thrusters on it as she had black legs as her foot is also her thrusters. Then, she happily waved at Azazel as he ignored her.
[ATK Position]
-Sonic Racer Ralmia-

"Now then… I activate Ralmia's effect!" Yukato continues. "For every Machine monster in my graveyard, her Attack Points increase by 1000 until the end of the turn!"
Ralmia's Attack Points: 2500 + 1000 (1x) = 3500
"Time to battle! Go, Ralmia! Attack Azazel with a Shooting Star Burst!" Yukato commands his monster as she raises her hands as she charges up her energy blast…
"Take this!" Ralmia exclaimed as she fired a blast upon Azazel as it created a burst of smoke. But as the smoke died down… he was still there… He wasn't destroyed by her attack despite she has a higher number of Attack Points. However, Daniel did lose Attack Points from her attack.
Daniel's LP: 2250
"What the…! You're supposed to be destroyed! That's impossible!" Yukato exclaimed.
"As much as I want to talk… Puppet. Explain." Azazel said to Daniel.
"Primal Monsters such as Azazel cannot be destroyed by monsters that aren't considered as Primal. Therefore, Azazel gets to stay on the field." Daniel explained as Yukato tightened his right fist in confusion and anger.
"Damn it… so I can't destroy it? Fine… I end my turn…" Yukato said as he ended his turn.
-TURN 7/Daniel-
[Daniel Morris: 2250] - [Hand: 5 to 6] - [Field: Azazel]
[Yukato Hoshino: 5500] - [Hand: 5 to 3] - [Field: Sonic Racer Ralmia, 1 Card FD (S/TZ)]
"My turn. I draw…" Daniel continued. "I play my Spell Card from my hand, [Raigeki]. This spell card will destroy your attack position monsters on your field."
Then, the lightning from above strikes Ralmia as she takes a hit as she starts to lose control of balance.
"Ahh! I'm gonna crash!" Ralmia whined as she was destroyed by the powerful lightning as Yukato had lost his Ace Monster.
"No! Ralmia!" Yukato exclaimed.
"Now. I activate Azazel's effect. I send the top 10 cards from my deck to the Graveyard once again. Azazel's Attack Points are increased by 1000 until the end of the turn." Daniel said as Azazel gained more power once more. "Now, Azazel. Attack his Life Points directly with Thanatos Bane."
"Now fear me!" Azazel hurls the dark knives once more as Yukato tries a solution to counter.
"Not happening! I play my Trap Card, [Scrap Iron Scarecrow]! When you declare an attack on me. Your attack is canceled plus your turn ends!" Yukato said as he raised his Trap Card on his field.
"False. Azazel is a Primal Monster. Which means Azazel cannot be targeted or affected by your effects and the attack continues." Daniel said as the knives hit Yukato as he was rolling on the ground as he screamed in pain.
Yukato's LP: 2000
"With my turn ending, so does Azazel's Attack Point as it reverts back to normal." Daniel said as Yukato groaned as he got up back on his feet.
-TURN 8/Yukato-
[Daniel Morris: 2250] - [Hand: 6 to 5] - [Field: Azazel]
[Yukato Hoshino: 2000] - [Hand: 3 to 5] - [Field: Sonic Racer Ralmia, 1 Card FD (S/TZ)]
"Yukato! Are you okay!?" Shizuru said as she tried to approach him..
"Stay back! I… I got this. Even though I lost a lot of life points… I'm still in this game." Yukato continued. "And no way I ain't losing to that freak show!"
"Oh? So you decided to resist… Very well, you're welcome to try. But know that you will fail regardless." Azazel taunted as he stood there as he looked at his cards in his hand. But, he looked at his necklace as he tightened his grip on it.
"Say what you will… I refuse to give up on this duel. I've already gone this far and this is where I am at now. I will never bend a knee… to a freak who looks down on us for nothing!" Yukato exclaimed until his blue necklace started to glow brightly as it caught everyone's attention.
"This light…!" Azazel covered himself from the brightness as Rei, Shizuru, Akira, Reatier, and the mysterious girl saw as everything was engulfed in pure white brightness. As the light died down, Yukato opened his eyes as he looked around… the whole area was completely black and white. But what's strange is that time has stopped all around him. No one has been able to move except for Yukato.
"What the…? What's going on? Shizuru? Rei? Damn it… Everything's frozen around me. Hmm… This isn't making sense…" Yukato said to himself as he stood there in confusion. However, he started to hear a mysterious voice speaking to him.
"You wander seeking truth, you heretical singularity!" The voice of a cool but boyish-tone spoke. "Cast aside your mindless rabble!"
But in complete silence… Yukato ignored him as he remained in his own thinking state. However, the mysterious voice inside his head would lash out in confusion.
"H-Huh? Maybe this Singularity can't hear me… No, no, there's no way!" The voice continued. "Um, Excuse me! I… I… I'll have you know that-"
"OKAY! I HEAR YOU! Just show yourself, okay!?" Yukato became irritated that the voice was merely speaking to him. After he spoke, he felt a surge of wind appearing in front of him as he covered himself as the current was very strong.
Then suddenly, the cyclone formed as it was swirling violently like a storm. But, it suddenly bursts off as it reveals a figure. A young lilac-haired youth with small pointed ears, blue and magenta eyes, splendid silver light armor, and wielding a light blue lance with the trails of wind lightly swirling around it. Then, the lilac-haired youth grinned at him.
"So we finally meet, Singularity." The youth said to Yukato as he kept his guard with a stern look on his face. "Ease your tension, I have not alighted here to present you a trial of wind."
Yet, the youth imbued with wind seemingly stated his peaceful intention, Yukato then lowers his guard as he was just confused of what's going on. All that lilac-haired youth had was his piercing gaze.
"Fine… Who are you anyways?" Yukato asked him as the youth had begun doing a pose with his left finger over his magenta eye where we can see.
"Heh… I'm glad you asked. Allow me to introduce myself… I am the god of war and mad cyclone, Grrrrrimnir!" The lilac-haired youth known as Grimnir introduced himself as Yukato stood there in confusion, refusing to elaborate. As for him, he already struck a pose with a smile on his face as he started to whisper to himself a little. "Yes…! That was so cool…"
"Grimnir? Am I supposed to clap or what?" Yukato asked him as Grimnir instantly turned his head to him as he dropped his pose and started to panic in confusion.
"H-Huh? Hold on! You didn't think that was lame, did you? It was seriously cool, right? H-Hey! S-Say something, Singularity!" Grimnir said in a confusing panic speech as his tears welled up in his eyes as if he wanted the praise.
"It's… it's nice… I guess?" Yukato said to the youth as he continued. "Anyways, just why are you here exactly?"
"Ahem! Singularity, when you mold your unique might to your will and surpass all mortal logic, the wind is sure to glimmer-" Grimnir was interrupted by Yukato's impatience.
"Look, stop speaking in some weird Shakespearan poetry and tell me why you're here. The way to appear just not. What are you…" Yukato asked him as he groaned and sighed.
"Okay, okay! I'll exclaim to you in your mortal terms as best as I can." Grimnir continued. "What I am mortal you call me are known as Primarchs. You can say we are most formidable and quite divine. While others are not. The reason why I'm here is because I uhh… tried to possess your body."
"You tried to do what!?" Yukato yelled in confusion.
"L-Look! It's not that harmless! I intend to take control of your body should the Primarchs run free in this mortal world! B-Besides, when I tried to take control of you… erm… well, your necklace eventually led me to be bound to you so I guess we're kinda one now." Grimnir twiddles his finger in embarrassment as the latter has his facepalm.
"Honestly… But what do you mean 'bound together as one'?" Yukato asked.
"You remember that mortal being possessed by that Primarch named Azazel?" Grimnir then moved his head to see Azazel frozen in time.
"That's the one. Seems he's going to defeat you, doesn't he?" Grimnir continued. "But there is a way if you desire to turn this battle around."
"Okay…? Go on?" Yukato had his arms crossed to hear his statement.
"All I need is your cooperation. Your necklace you wear bears immense powers that can seal away these Primarchs. Even though your necklace may have sealed me but… I manage somehow to reside within your body as if we are one now. Now then, Singularity. Will you accept my agreement?" Grimnir asked him until the latter closed his eyes as he turned his head the other way.
"Not happening." Yukato replied with the most generic reply possible as his voice reached the Primarch's ear as he heard what he just said.
"Wha- huh? Um, er… uh… Huh? Huuuh!?" Grimnir acted in shock as he started to act like a child as if he started to beg. "W-Wait a bit! Singularity! Think that over some! Think it over a bit more! I'm pretty amazing, y'know? I can make storms and stuff! I work really hard! Reeeeally hard! Come on, Singularity!"
"Okay! Okay! You win, alright!?" Yukato replied with annoyance as he had no choice, leaving it off with a sigh. "Honestly, I have no idea what to do with you. All this stuff you say that we're one now is making my head spin…"
"S-So… Have you made up your mind? Like super duper serious about it?" Grimnir asked him.
"Yes… Look, I'll accept cooperating with you. But this time, this is my duel to take on. So I expect your help is greatly needed. And the way I said no to you? It was… kidding…" Yukato said to him as Grimnir's eyes widened in relief as he was happy.
"R-Really? You were kidding? Good thing! Quit freaking me out already!" Grimnir pouted like a child as Yukato continued.
"Since we're working together because our bodies are now one. Let me make one condition…" Yukato continued. "Stop calling me Singularity. Call me Yukato. It's easier that way."
"Aah… Er-hrm! Singula- I mean… Yukato, I am grateful for your consent!" Grimnir continued with his cool tone. But, he lends his hand out to him. "Let us then set out sights beyond the blue skies! May my winds become your wings!"
Yukato then took his hand as he felt his serene wind around him as it started to surround them with a cool breeze.
"Heh-heh! Thanks a bunch, Yukato! Now let's get 'em!" Grimnir said with a grin as everything was engulfed in complete whiteness. Soon, Yukato snaps back to reality.
As he snapped back to reality when he was at risk of losing the duel against Daniel and his Primal Monster Azazel. Shizuru and Rei watched him standing there with his eyes closed. Azazel remained confused but he stood there in wait. That is until Yukato instantly opened his eyes as his eye colors now match with Grimnir as the burst of wind surrounds him violently.
"What in the…!?" Azazel continued. "No way that this brat has this much power unless… I see… So you've finally awoken…"
"Azazel…" Yukato spoke with Grimnir's voice in complete synchronization. "This time… I'll turn the tide of the duel… Starting now! I draw!"
Yukato drew his cards as he was ready.
"The summoning condition is tributing two of my Level 5 WIND Monsters from either my Extra Deck or my main Deck. And the two I will choose are Stardust Charge Warrior and Junk Speeder from my Extra Deck!" Yukato then takes two of his Extra Deck monsters and sends them into his Graveyard through his Duel Disk. The wind was still raging around him as he started to raise his hand up into the air as the turbulent wind gathered above his hand as it started to form a green glowing card as he grabbed it on his hand.
"What are you planning, brat…" Azazel demanded to know.
"You'll soon find out… Because I'm going to Primal Summon!" Yukato then slammed his disk with his card as he placed it on his Extra Deck Zone as the wind storms around the zone. "Beyond the verdant wind, the gale breezes through the air as the raging storm approaches! Appear! [Grimnir the Mad Cyclone]!"
Then, the cyclone strikes down from the sky as the Primarch finally appears in the duel much to everyone's shock. And so, Grimnir makes his debut as he wields his lance in hand with a cool look on his face.
"Behold! Witness my arrival… for I am the God of War! The Mad Cyclone… Grrrrrimnir!" Grimnir begins his introduction as he manages to nail his pose just right.
[ATK Position]
-Grimnir the Mad Cyclone-
Wind Attribute
God/Primal/Effect
ATK: 3500
DEF: 3000
Requirement: Tribute two Level 5 WIND-type Monsters from your Extra Deck.
Effect: When this monster is Primal Summoned, add "Vortex of the Void" to your hand and this monster gains 500 ATK Points for each WIND-type Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Monsters in either Graveyard. At the start of the Damage Step, if this monster declares an attack or is targeted by an attack, destroy that monster. Once per turn, target one WIND-type Extra Deck Monster from your GY, Special Summon it to your field.
"You… Out of all of the Primarchs… It has to be you, isn't it? You're seriously giving me a headache!" Azazel exclaimed in annoyance towards him as the Mad Cyclone looked at him.
"Oh? Well if it isn't Azazel? Causing chaos once again? If so, your disturbance troubles me. Allow me to graze you away with my raging gale!" Grimnir taunted back as Yukato ignored his talking. But he turned back at him. "Yukato. I must give you my sincere thanks for summoning me. Let us end this duel together."
"Of course… Now, since Grimnir is summoned, I can add an Equip Spell to my hand. And I'm going to use it… Because the Equip Spell I'm going to use is [Vortex of the Void]! This card can only be equipped to Grimnir only. And with it, I can choose between two choices. The first choice is targeting the opponent's monster on the field to negate it. Which means if this monster that I negated gets destroyed and tries to activate an additional effect from the Graveyard, it will remain negated for the rest of the turn. And the second choice, I can give Grimnir an additional 2000 ATK Points but decrease his DEF Points by 1500. So instead… I'll go for the second choice!"
Grimnir's lance then glows brightly as it is engulfed by the wind as it starts to gain more power.
Grimnir's ATK Points: 3500 + 2000 = 5500
Grimnir's DEF Points: 3000 - 1000 = 2000
"And here's the fun part. Since Grimnir is summoned, this monster gains 500 ATK Points for each WIND-type monster in either Graveyard. Since I have about 3 WIND-type Monsters such as Ralmia, Junk Speeder, and Stardust Charge Warrior. Which means all three makes up for a total of 1500. Which adds Grimnir's ATK Points with a massive total of 7000!" Yukato said as Grimnir begins to gain more power as the gale surrounds him.
Grimnir's ATK Points: 5500 + 1500 = 7000
"7-7000 ATK Points!?" Shizuru said in shock.
"Then it should be enough to destroy Azazel and end this! Yukato! End it now!" Rei said as she yelled at him as he heard her words.
"I can agree to that, Rei! It's about time I end this duel! Grimnir! Attack Azazel and end this duel with Divine Decimation on High!" Yukato commanded his Primal Monster as Grimnir started to concentrate his power on his lance as it started to gain more power as it was enough to destroy Azazel for good.
"My heavenly lance wi-" Grimnir suddenly bit something in his mouth as he paused for a moment… "Uh… Aaaaagh! I bit my tongue!"
Everyone started to sweatdrops upon his reaction after he tried to act cool but ended up self-injuring himself because of his tongue. Yukato sighed as he shook his head in disappointment.
"A-Ahem! Weather this gale! My lance shall be your demise! Yaaaah!" Grimnir charged his lance as he fired a violent typhoon of wind as it struck Azazel directly as he couldn't handle Grimnir's gale.
"D-Damn you…! T-This can't be… possible! Aaaaaaagh!" Azazel screamed in pain as he was destroyed in battle. After the typhoon disappears, Daniel kneeled on the floor as he was defeated ever since he was possessed by a Primal. But in the end… Daniel had lost the duel.
Daniel's LP: 0
-TURN 8/Yukato-
[Daniel Morris: 0] - [Hand: 5] - [Field: None]
[Yukato Hoshino: 2000] - [Hand: 4] - [Field: Grimnir the Mad Cyclone (w/ Equip Spell Vortex of the Void), 1 Card FD (S/TZ)]
-WINNER: YUKATO HOSHINO-
And so, the duel was over in 8 turns as the Augmented Duel Field disappeared while Yukato's eyes returned to normal. The spirit of Azazel then begins to part from this world as he disappears. Grimnir then turns around to look at Yukato and gives him two thumbs up with a smile on his face as he disappears in the air. But, Shizuru and Rei rushed over towards Yukato as his big sister hugged him tightly.
"Oh gosh, Yukato! You finally did it! You won the duel! I am so proud of you, little bro!~" Shizuru happily said with glee as Yukato tried to get some air.
"C-Can't breathe… L-Let go…" Yukato pleaded as Shizuru noticed as she let him go, allowing him to catch some air.
"You played well, Yukato. This is the first time I've ever heard of a Primal Monster. How on earth did you get it?" Rei asked him. For some reason, he doesn't get it himself.
"No idea. I guess it's some sort of an instinct to be honest. Now…" Yukato then approached Daniel who was seen waking up after what happened.
"My head… Ugh… What happened…? Did I… Did I lose?" Daniel said to himself as he tried to cover his head as it was a little dizzy for him until Yukato and his friends approached him.
"Yeah. You did lose." Yukato continued. "I won fair and square. But since you lost… return the decks you've stolen from people and apologize to them. You got that?"
"O-Okay, okay! Fine! I'll do what you've told me. I'll give the deck back to the beastman and apologize for what happened. I… I'll promise not to steal decks ever again. Just leave me alone, alright?" Daniel said as he sighed and left the area of the duel since he lost. Now, he has to return the deck that he stole from the beastman.
"Finally, this whole mess is over…" Yukato said in relief as Grimnir finally appeared in his Spirit Form.
"Indeed. You have proven yourself worthy to use me. With my power, my gale will guide your way to the ends of the earth. Never forget that." Then Grimnir continued as he started to act childish again. "But still! It was sooo cool! I finally pulled it off and showed that loser who's the boss! You're the best, Yukato! I mean it!"
"Uh huh… You did well, I guess? Hmm?" Yukato then noticed someone approaching him. It was the same girl who was spying on them after she saw the entire duel.
"You there, Sigurd!" The girl continued. "You have pulled off an exemplary duel against Daniel. But when I saw you summon this Primal Monster known as Grimnir… I felt captivated to see why it motivates you. But now I remember… Allow me to introduce myself…"
The girl then proceeded to do her pose which was almost similar to Grimnir as she began her introduction… much to his chagrin.
"Oh god no…" Yukato said in his thoughts as his eyes look to his left with a disgusted look on his face as the girl starts to have imaginary blue fire behind her as she begins her introduction
"Feast thine ears… upon my true name! I am the one who is called Annarose von Stechpalm! Better known as the Hecate of the Gale! Yes, it is I, Regent of the Order of Gehenna Immortals! The Darkest Knight who tamed the fires of Ragnarok and saved the world now- Eh? OW!" The girl gets flicked in the head by Yukato in a way to silence her. "Hey! Y-You interrupted my signature speech! I've worked on this for months to get this right!"
"Didn't anyone ever tell you to shut your mouth? Besides, I'm already tired…" Yukato started to grow annoyed over her much to her dismay. "And do I even know you? Anyone?"
"Hmm… Wait a second… I know her. She's from our class, Yukato. Her name is Anna Hiiragi. One of the students there at Bladerights." Rei informed him as he tried to think but shrugged.
"Nope. Don't know her." Yukato shrugged.
"Hmph! If you are that truly arrogant… Then I challenge you to a duel-" The girl named Anna gets interrupted with the three along with Grimnir following him who are leaving the area.
"Don't care. Leaving. Bye." Yukato then waved at her while walking away as she frantically chased him.
"C-Can you at least hear me out!?" Anna chases him as she tries to talk to Yukato while she is being ignored. Akira and Reatier watched from the food truck after everything had settled down for today as she had a smile on her face.
"Seems you have a long way to go, Yukato Hoshino… As long as you bear the card of a Primal, I'm sure you can do this. Man… oh how I missed the blue clear sky…" Akira said to herself as she looked up to see the sunset sky… Yukato's journey with a Primal in tow is just the beginning.
Unknown Location, Atismata City Evening - Rain
Meanwhile somewhere in an unknown location during the night in this city was the man in robes who was seen walking inside the mysterious throne room where a shadowy figure sat there quietly. The man in robe then proceeded to kneel as awaits the person's response.
"Speak, Roy…" The voice of a woman on the throne spoke.
"That boy… he holds the power of the Primarch… Azazel is no more. That's all I have to say, Kaiser." The man named Roy spoke.
"Is that so? I had high hopes for him but it seems I was wrong. Thank you… You may leave." The woman known as Kaiser spoke as Roy nodded as he stood up and left the room. And so it was completely silent. "That boy, hmm?"
Then, the figure reveals herself to be a fox beastwoman with long white hair, red eyes, and white fox ears & nine tails while wearing her traditional Japanese clothing as she held an elegant smoking pipe gilded in gold. Then, there was a mysterious figure behind her throne which was the actual nine tailed fox itself. And thus, the screen slowly fades to black, pure silence.

But inside the crystal shows the reflection of Grimnir who was seen inside the crystal while the background shows the ravaged war in the skies as it shows the shadowy silhouette of a wyrm looming over him.

He then looks at his blue crystal necklace once again but this time he is joined by his friends along with his Primarch Grimnir as they all watched the sun rise at the city.
Author's Notes: Thank you all for reading the first chapter of the story. I know it's a lot to take in to know about the world different from the previous YGO story XRD. At least this was a change of pace regarding its setting. While, yes, XRD is more leaning into the Modern Sci-Fi theme while EXOLVE leans more into a Modern Fantasy aspect. But what's new that I wanted to introduce is Primal Monsters which are an entirely new summoning technique that I made. While they can be overpowered in anime standards but get the job done in certain means. Let's get into the fun facts. This story was originally intended to be a sequel to XRD that will focus on a new setting, new characters, and a new summoning technique. However, I ditched the idea of making it a sequel but instead set this world of EXOLVE as its own dimension. Which means both dimensions of XRD and EVOLVE do exist one another as its own universe. Will both protagonists of these respective stories meet? Most likely not but maybe? I want to make sure to tell the story of the character's lives and all. So I'm making sure both stories won't be like ARC-V with all the four dimensions pitting against each other. Anyways, before I end the story. I can't ever forget the compendium showcase. And as for the next preview? Yukato gets a duel against Anna after what happened. That's all I can tease you. Until then, stay safe.
