Chapter 2: The fateful fight Kazuma vs Chrono

"Chrono?" Kazuma looked at him directly

"This is interesting..." Chaos Breaker said while smiling

"When he came through this world and mix in with the singularity it was the perfect match this wouldn't be possible if it were just a mere vessel..." Valeos said in his meme sadistic way

"Darkface... could i borrow the relic data?" Chrono said

"As you command my lord..." Darkface nervously gave the temporary data of relic to chrono

"This wouldn't be fun if you lose immediately... so i'm gonna give you an advantage..." Chrono/Gyze said as his sign glowed from his diffride sign and blast it to Kazuma as he looks onto him it was a zeroth dragon

"Zeroth Dragon?!" He said

"United Sanctuary Zeroth Dragon, Ultima... if you can win using that then it's my defeat..." Chrono/Gyze said as he looked at him with a serious face

"So if i didn't do this?" Kazuma asked

"Then your friend can't be free from my grasp but will he want to or not it's not up to me but to him." Chrono/Gyze said with full of confident even though it's like a straight conversation

"Chrono is full of confident about that but why?" Taiyou looked seriously

"Bet on your future this fight will decide your and his future" Chrono/Gyze puts up a smirk as he got his deck ready and a vanguard table suddenly appeared out of nowhere and they begin their fight


"Stand Up Z Vanguard!"

"Drag Prince Rute (G0 Pow: 5000)"

"Chrono Dran Hazard (G0 Pow: 5000)"

Both of them starts with their starting vanguard but after that smirked Chrono didn't show any emotion as Kazuma starts first as he rides sword breaker (G1 pow: 6000 ) and ends his turn

"Draw Ride Time Beast Destroyer, Jackal (G1 Pow: 7000)" Chrono moves his starting vanguard to the back Jackal also looks different it has the same marking as dran with violet color but looking at him with a creepy smile as it attacks

(Kazuma Damage: 1 hand: 5)

(Chrono/Gyze Damage: 0 hand: 6)

The turn progresses as Kazuma Rides Dragwizard, Liafall (G2 att: 9000)nd then calling morfessa the first attack hits chrono/gyze directly but for norfessa it was blocked using a card in his hands

(Kazuma Damage: 1 hand: 5)

(Chrono/Gyze Damage: 1hand: 5)

"they are both at same damage..." Taiyo saw as if both of them are a match

"Dragwizards sure is convenient... but that very own shall be your downfall.." Chrono/Gyze starts his turn as he rides time beast destroyer,chrono beat (G2 pow: 10000) then calling steam maiden,diadre (G2 pow: 9000) when called she can look at the top 7 cards and added a time beast destroyer to the hand by discarding a card equal to the grade of the card added

"why do you want to save him?" Chrono/Gyze asked a simple question

"Because... he..." Kazuma said as he flashbacked all of the moment he had with chrono especially recently

Flashback

"Kazuma let's fight without the world at stake..." Chrono said in one of the conversation

"But when that hapoens i'll win..." Kazuma said

"That is why promise me this whatever happens don't hold back..." Chrono smiled as if he looks at Kazuma as his equal

End of flashback

"But why do you have to be gyze?!" Kazuma shouted as Chrono didn't react just attacking using his units as he gets a draw trigger which makes both unit attacks successful

(Kazuma Damage: 3 hand: 5)

(Chrono/Gyze Damage: 1 hand: 6)

Chrono just looked at him with a straight look as he ends his turn

"Chrono answer me why?!" Kazuma shouted

"Let me answer that for you..." Noa/Chaos Breaker talks to Kazuma as he leaps from the building

"You!" Kazuma said

"He willingly fight me and lost because he wanted to protect his precious friend... how sweet it makes me sick... because he knew you will be the vessel of my lord gyze..." Noa/Chaos Breaker said

"So that vast energy..." Kazuma said

"Right... that's for the ritual right valeos?" Noa/Chaos Breaker said as he looked at Valeos/Ruga

"Right and with this fight Gyze will finally appear in our world this is interesting but since he is in the body of the singularity itself he shouldn't have to fight but this is also interesting..." Valeos/Ruga said to Kazuma but first he leaped from the building and he still puts up a sadistic face

"Ride Dragheart, Luard(G3 pow: 11000)!" Kazuma shouted as he rides his avatar luard and call on knies (G1 pow: 6000) and uscias (G2 pow: 9000)

"let's go... Uscias attack..." He shouted but chrono guard with a card then he attacks with luard

"no guard..." Chrono said

"Twin drive! get draw trigger power to morfessa second check no trigger." He continued as he attacks to him as the next attack is coming he guarded with a critical trigger

"Turn end..." Kazuma said as he can only deal a damage this turn

(Kazuma Damage: 3 hand: 4)

(Chrono/Gyze Damage: 2 hand: 4)

"Draw... Ride! Chronojet Dragon Gyze Violence (G3 pow: 11000)" Chrono rides his avatar unit it looks like chronojet but at the same time it had some aspect of gyze but it had the same align referance from chrono dran

"By paying the cost stride the generation cone from a time where time has no meaning Zodiac Time Destroyer, Chronojet Dragon Terror (G4 pow: 26000)" The new chronojet is like a mix from next stage and gear grovy but it still has that similarity from it's G3 Predecessor as when that happen Chronojet Gyze skill activates when on stride all of his opponent front rg are sent to the bottom deck changed into a grade lower by using 1 cb and he time leap diadre to Zodiac Time Destroyer, Thanatos (G3 att: 11000)

"What?! Uscias and Morfessa!" Kazuma shouted

"Thanatos skill soul charge 2 from the dropzone and if he was called by an effect i can time leap a rearguard." Chrono said as he time leaps his chrono dran into steam fighter,elkia (G1 pow: 6000) Elkia skill soul blast 2 then 1 draw and if it's called by time leap it gains additional 5000 power then vanguard stride skill soul blast 2 and then destroying the card that you got by regression. if 2 or more cards is destroyed all of my front rows for this turn gains 5000 power from each destroyed rearguards" He continued

"Let's get to the destroying part..." Thanatos communicating to chrono just like a psyqualia user did

"No need to be hasty this is just the start chrono dran skill..." Chrono/Gyze said to the card in an image as he can talk to his units as chrono dran if put in the bind zone it will be put to the drop zone and he can add 2 cards from the top 5 cards of his dack but with different grades to his hand and the rest to the drop zone

"What is he doing?" Kazuma wondered

"Then chrono dran skill by putting a card from drop to the bind zone i can get this card back to my hand" Chrono added dran back to his hand

"Chrono jet terror attack... when it attacks and you didn't have front rearguard it gains drive + 1 and also counter charge" He smiled

"Evil Refuser Dragon Quintet Wall and evil refuser ritual!" Kazuma shouted as he pays a counter blast that made him guard in a total of 25000 defense and adds 1 g1 for necessary defense of 2 to pass

" quadruple drive first check no trigger 2nd check no trigger third check heal trigger power to thanatos too bad i can't heal and last check no trigger..." Chrono/Gyze said

"Damage check heal trigger i heal one damage" Kazuma said as he healed his damage

"Replenishing the rearguard making them retire effortlessly this is the power of the gear chronicle singularity and gyze all together such wonderful..." Wakamizu/Darkface said in a mocking way

"Valeos could you shut up for a second..." Chrono/Gyze sighed

"Right i'm sorry.." Valeos said

"now let's continue thanatos attack your vanguard." Chrono/Gyze said as the attack hits cornering kazuma to 4 damage

"last attack..." He attacks with elkia to the vanguard even he knew if that wouldn't do damage

"are you playing with me?!" Kazuma shouted

"Turn end..." Chrono/Gyze just put up a smirk

"He is clearly underestimating me..." Kazuma said as he saw chrono's reaction as he returns the unit back into his deck and changed it back to normal except for elkia who goes to the bottom deck

(Kazuma Damage: 4 hand: 1)

(Chrono/Gyze Damage: 2 hand: 7)

"draw luard skill i return 2 G1 units and stride for free stride generation! DragDriver, Luard! luard skill i destroyed my knies and call!" abysal owl and knies at the same column and abysal skill lets him use abbysal owl skill and adds luard to his hands by discarding another G3 from his hand

"Stride skill soulblast 1" He puts a G zone card open and soublasted 1 then call swordbreaker and adds 3000 power while using sword breaker skill to draw a card and call another uscias and then using his skill by counter blasting one he returns liafal to the deck and gains 9000 power the first attack comes from him but chrono chooses to no guard

"Next my turn!" Kazuma shouted as his vanguard attacks

"Perfect guard Steam Maker,chrisillia (G1 Sentinel) and regression your abysal owl goes to the bottom of the deck and well you can call any grade 0 from your deck..." Chrono/Gyze said as bad as it sounds Kazuma is actually okay with this move as he makes it but he only has 2 counterblast left or so as he attack but chrono block his attack by intercepting with diadre but due to knies skill he can draw and of course with belial he can draw another but just ends his turn and putting 2 belial back into the bottom deck before he ends his turn

(Kazuma Damage: 4 hand: 7)

(Chrono/Gyze Damage: 3 hand: 6)

"I'm skipping my stride phase now main phase call! zodiac time destroyer, chronobeat, jackal and ur watar from his hand Chronojet Gyze Generation Break 2 by binding 2 cards it gains power +15000 and drive + 1" Chrono/Gyze said and then using ur watar skill he puts him to the bottom of the deck and draws 2 while returning 1 card

"That is simillar to Kai vs Shion in a long time..." Taiyo said

"first up my vanguard will attack..." he said as he attacks but kazuma pulled a generation guard using dragwizard bronach and added a 10k guard to it

"Triple drive first check a grade 3 time beast jackal skill in the bind zone i superior call him and he gains 3000 power second check draw trigger all effect to chronobeat and third check no trigger" Chrono/Gyze still puts up a smile as he attack kazuma with his chrono beat dealing damage

"Chrono beat skill regression... i call on melem(G1 pow: 7000) to the field and attack the vanguard." Chrono said but Kazuma blocked it with uscias

"Turn end..." He smiled

(Kazuma Damage: 5 hand: 4)

(Chrono/Gyze Damage: 4 hand: 3)

"I think i might do this i discard the same card as my vanguard! United Sanctuary! Zeroth Dragon Ultimate Stride! Chrono here i come! Zeroth Dragon of Zenith Peak, Ultima! (att: 36000 G4) and with it's skill i counter blast 2 to call! Morfessa(att: 9000 G2) and Belial owl(G0 att: 4000)and put 2 other card on top of my deck." Kazuma said

"A non apostle gets ro ride the zeroth dragon?!" Darkface looks frustrated

"Interesting what are you gonna do now gyze?" Chaos Breaker thought

"Here's come the first one morfessa!" Kazuma shouted as the attack did hit making chrono/gyze damage at 5 which luckily he gets draw trigger

"2nd attack!" He attack again with his left rearguard since it's double morfessa

"intercept and guard..." Chrono/Gyze guards with some of his units left

"Ultima attack!" Kazuma shouted

"Perfect guard!" He puts a steam maiden arka to perfect guard the attack

"First check get stand trigger one eyed wavern all goes to vanguard and stand all units second check heal trigger all effect to vanguard and i heal one damage finally last check is a no trigger..." Kazuma said as he attacks Chrono with Morfessa but got hit by heal trigger which uses a g guardian time maiden of eternity uluru which shield him from the attack

"Lastly attack!" Kazuma shouted as the attack hits he was now somewhere inside of Chrono's mind was like a miniature version of relic with Chrono who was solidated by Gyze


Inside of Chrono's mind and body

"This is inside of chrono why is it pitch black?" Kazuma thought as he walks through them it was memories of chrono but then as he reach the center area it was all begin to add up as he saw somekind of force field it's like two entity is talking with each other the first one looks like Gyze while the other one looks like Chrono

"I am the deity of destruction Gyze… we finally have a chance to talk Shindou Chrono…" Gyze said

"Gyze why do you sought destruction?" Chrono asked

"Why do you show me a glimpse of the future?" He asked

"That is because my true aim wasn't him you are the perfect vessel the inheritor of the chronicle singularity…" Gyze said

"I want to know what is the Gear Chronicle SIngularity i've heard from dran but what is it?" Chrono asked

"That's… we'll talk about it next time and the reason i don't want to fully control you yet is because just like me the nothingness attracts to you and that is why you have the possibility to become what you will ever be…" Gyze said

"If i do that then tokoha, shion and everyone else…" Chrono said as he hesitated

"Chrono!" Kazuma shouted but he was pulled back by the end of his time there while chrono looked behind and it was no one

"Who is there?" Chrono said

"The real fight in the real world is ending as of now it's reaching the climax…" Gyze said as he shows what happens

"I'm fighting Kazuma...Gyze!" Chrono said

"this fight will decide your future whatever it is.." Gyze said

"For once… Gyze this time let me control back my body…" Chrono shouted

"You want to talk him back?" Gyze asked as he thinks he is gonna let himself lose

"No... first off i'm gonna deal with you gyze second of all i don't care anymore about cray and that thing you and messiah had a godly fight what a laugh and lastly i'm into it because when i got here i saw another perspective that wasn't there then i'm going all out i know you've had your fun but..." Chrono sighed as he looks at the black sky

"He is really the perfect vessel gahaha..." Gyze even though he has a straight personality he is laughing now because this is the first time that he had someone stood up to him

Back to the fight

"Perfect guard!" Chrono guarded the attack with steam navy, patricia a new g1 sentinel that lets him counter charge one card from his damage zone due to generation break 1 ski but he has to bind 2 cards in his drop

"Wha-" Kazuma saw his gzone drops

"Kazuma if this fight isn't about saving the world i could careless but i don't want to lose again... to be toyed with, to be predetermined..." Chrono sighed as the atmosphere changed

"Chrono?" Kazuma asked as of this was the real chrono or not

"Don't get me wrong kazuma i actually didn't care anymore i'm bound to Gyze... that is why get out of my way..." He said

"Interesting... Right now standing there isn't gyze but him..." Noa/Chaosbreaker said

"that is impossible!" Ruga/Valeos said

"Its possible if he let him out..."Noa/ChaosBreaker said

"You mean Gyze-sama..." Darkface said

"Right... somehow he is able to convince our lord..." Chaos breaker said

"Chrono Dran skill this card is regard as chrono jet gyze when stride phase and it's grade is +3 Now devour my future by using the same card as my vanguard as cost Ultimate Stride! Now the world shall meet it's end Zeroth Dragon of End World, Dust(G4 att: 36000)" Chrono shouted as he remembers what gastille said and it's done in a simillar tone

"He maybe right..." He thought as he called

"Dust..." Kazuma said as he guard with most of his hand just set 1 to pass

"But still... why... i'm not satisfied nor enjoying this fight just frustration..." Chrono thought even though he looked like winning he isn't feeling the joy or satisfaction

"Triple drive first check critical trigger, second check critical trigger and third check no trigger..." Hesaid as he do a final attack

"Double trigger..." Kazuma said as he is amazed

"The World shall be silent..." Chrono said as Dust appeared and uses it's zeroth dragon feature as Kazuma stand still and wanted to be hit by the debris but taiyo quickly shielded him

(Kazuma Damage: 6 hand: 1)

(Chrono/Gyze Damage: 5 hand: 3)

"Gyze-sama!" The three apostle looks at chrono but then chrono's head ache he was about to fall but he was catch by valeos

"Take your time to heal..." Valeos said

"This isn't enough... i need more..." Chrono said as his sign changed into a more of a bit if gyze but it has some gearchronicle sign to it

"My lord you should rest..." Darkface said

"Tokoha... Shion..." Just for a split second before he pass out his eyes turns gold as he held ultima's card

"It seems that he hasn't fully in control yet huh..." Chaos Breaker analyze the situation but he quickly glared at the sign

"Interesting" He thought

"At least it is done the singularity and the zeroth dragons has been awakened this is such a marvelous sign." Valeos said seriously as the screenshot moves to chrono whose his hair changed to a bit purple even though it was only a short footage

"Valeos you know what to do right?" Noa/Chaos Breaker said

"Of course..." Ruga/Valeos said

"Good on the meanwhile as he recovers we'll stay hidden again..." Wakamizu/Darkface said

"Good Point..." Noa/Chaos Breaker said as he looks at the moon

"Yeah it's wonderful Gyze..." He smiled sinisterly

Darkface: how did you knew what he will talk about? *gasped*

Author Note:

I can't resist doing the preview sorry if the fight is low quality and gyze is a bit talkative here and there to be true i wasn't gonna include that part but yeah i want to experiment on it giving him a bit of personality rather than straight forward like he did to Kazuma in the original and he talked without moving his mouth really creepy... and of course i'm gonna prolong the chapters as i can since it was so short on G Z we only got a glimpse of the story. as for regression it's a new mechanic that rewinds your rearguard or your own by 1 grade but mostly your opponent it's quite hard to think for new mechanics but other than that time leap is still an option
