bopdog111: Chara had a rough time.
Ulrich362: That's putting it lightly Bopdog, in one duel the poor girl was forced to relive both of the worst events in her life.
bopdog111: And now You Show is needing some answers.
Ulrich362: Agreed, and it's time they got them. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
With the conclusion of the first day of the Maiami Championship, the students of You Show, and the Monsters from the Underground all returned to You Show Duel School.
On the way Frisk, and Asriel were helping Chara after the insults Isao gave her.
"Frisk, Azzy... thank you." Chara whispered sadly.
"Don't let what he said get to you he was being a jerk." Frisk told her.
Chara shook her head. "It never did Frisk. I... I need to find him."
"Chara he will destroy you again." Asriel said worried.
That's when they noticed Chara looked scared, not like she wanted a rematch.
"Chara?" Frisk asked.
"I know it's selfish, but I have to find him. You wouldn't understand Frisk." Chara admitted before closing her eyes. "He's out there somewhere, he has to be."
"Your brother?" Asriel asked.
"No, it's..." Chara started before noticing they reached You Show. "Actually... can you two get everyone to go to the dueling field? I... have to explain something."
They nodded as they walked there.
A few minutes later…
They entered the arena as they turned to Chara.
"Ok, you guys remember what I said before our match with LDS right?" Chara asked uncertainly.
"Yeah we remember." Yuya nodded.
Chara turned to him before pausing only to close her eyes. "The truth is... back then, all those years ago... my brother and I were orphans."
They looked shocked at this.
"It wasn't that bad, we had each other." Chara mentioned before smiling. "Plus... the four dragons who raised us, and kept us safe. You're still protecting me... aren't you Odd-Eyes?"
Yuya pulled out the card. Odd-Eyes was still glowing faintly.
"Odd-Eyes Dragon, and you remember Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon don't you Yuzu?" Chara asked.
"Yeah." Yuzu nodded.
"He was another one, I don't know where the last two are... but they were my first family." Chara smiled gently. "I still remember what life was like back then... before he ruined everything."
Flashback…
"Big brother... it's cold." a younger Chara whispered while shivering.
"Don't worry Chara..." A teenage boy smiled to her. "It will be alright... We have them to help us."
As the boy said that Odd-Eyes, Dark Rebellion, a white dragon, and a purple dragon all landed near them before moving to keep the siblings warm.
"See?" The teenage boy smiled to his sister. "They'll always be here for us."
The younger Chara smiled hearing that before moving closer to the purple dragon. "I don't care what people say, you're the most caring one of them all."
The purple dragon roared happily hearing that as it wrapped its wings around her.
"Tomorrow's when I try to get us a new life Chara, if I can win... things will be ok." the boy told her.
The younger Chara smiled as the other three roared softly.
"He did manage to win, and our lives started to improve. People were happy to see my brother and his dragons, every time he had a match it was incredible." Chara smiled only to frown. "Until he came along."
"Leo Akaba?" Asriel asked her.
"Exactly, he tried to make dueling more realistic. By making the cards more and more real until..." Chara started before shuddering. "They became real enough to hurt people. My brother... he never wanted to but..."
The younger Chara's eyes were wide in horror as her brother's opponent clutched his shoulder in agony as blood flowed from the wound. Her brother stared on in horror before to the sibling's shock instead of worrying the crowd started to cheer for more of this.
"What... stop it, he's hurt. Please big brother you need to help him!" the younger Chara cried only for her voice to be drowned out by the cheers that continued to grow in volume and excitement before her brother turned to the crowd and slowly but surely a smile appeared on his face.
"Is this what you want?" her brother asked the crowd.
Chara's eyes widened in horror hearing that as the crowd continued to cheer.
End flashback…
Everyone looked shocked as they looked at each other.
"Wha... Those guys cared more about people get hurt then having fun!?" Yuya asked shocked.
"You're surprised, that's how most humans are Yuya." Chara answered angrily. "It excited them, it didn't matter what happened to my brother or his opponents."
She looked down after saying that.
"I still remember seeing the anguish in their eyes as the dragons who raised us were forced to violently hurt so many people until... one day the five of them became one being. A massive dragon that just wanted to destroy the world."
"That must be why you were so afraid of fusion." Frisk realized. "That the dragons, and your brother merged into an unstoppable being that only wants to destroy everything with no mercy."
"Exactly, and when the buildings started falling... I saw dozens, hundreds of people die exactly like that. My only family, the only people in the world who cared about me... they were the ones who were killing everyone. A terrifying creature, human and dragon in one... I had to run from him, that's why I jumped." Chara revealed. "Why I tried to..."
"To kill yourself." Asriel finished covering his mouth with widen eyes.
Chara just nodded. "I don't know what happened to my big brother, but if two of the dragons are here then maybe... maybe the others are too. That's..."
Suddenly she froze.
"Yu... Yuzu, the boy who had Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon looked exactly like Yuya, like his twin right?"
"Twin?" Yuzu asked turning to Yuya who shook his head.
"Yuzu, you saw him. He looked exactly like Yuya." Chara repeated.
"Well... now that you mention it yeah. That's why we thought it was Yuya but he was acting so unusual." Yuzu recalled.
"They... they both look just like my big brother." Chara revealed. "They have the exact same face. It didn't occur to me because I was focused on Odd-Eyes but... the three of them all look the same."
Yuya looked surprised as they all stared at him.
"Chara... Do you remember what his name is?" Frisk asked her.
"No, he never told us his name." Chara answered.
"Your brother never said his name to you?" Asriel asked surprised.
Chara's eyes widened. "I thought Frisk meant whoever it was that had Dark Rebellion now. Of course I remember my big brother's name, I'll never forget it. His name was Zarc Draconis."
"Zarc." Frisk repeated. "Sounds pretty tough."
Chara just looked down. "Well... now you guys know everything. That's why I have to find the last two dragons, whatever happened to them. Whatever happened to my brother."
Asriel looked down before hugging Chara. "We'll figure it out, I promise."
"Azzy... thank you." Chara whispered.
"We will find him for you." Frisk smiled.
Chara smiled back before hugging Frisk.
"It's been a very, very long day. Why don't we all get some sleep." Asgore suggested. "Tomorrow's a new day, and maybe something will happen."
They all nodded in agreement.
The next day…
Frisk knocked on Chara's door with a glass of orange juice for her to give Chara.
"One second." Chara said before opening the door. "Oh Frisk, good morning."
"Hey Chara." Frisk smiled handing her the orange juice, "Here."
Chara smiled taking it. "Thanks. Do you think they'll duel today? The LDS students and Hector?"
"I think so." Frisk answered.
Chara nodded. "Hopefully you, Yuya, and Yuzu keep doing well. Plus Gongenzaka can try and win his match too."
"Right." Frisk nodded back with a smile. "And hopefully one of them can put Isao down from his bullying."
Chara frowned hearing his name.
Frisk patted her shoulder.
Chara smiled before they walked downstairs only to look down. "Morning mom, dad."
"Morning Chara." Toriel smiled to her.
Asgore gave a smile, and a nod, "Morning Chara."
"You... aren't upset? After last night?" Chara asked uncertainly.
"We could never be upset at you Chara." Toriel answered.
Chara's eyes widened before she started tearing up and hugged Toriel. Toriel hugged her back.
Later at the stadium…
They see the gang was there as Tatsuya noticed them, "Guys!"
"Hi Tate." Frisk smiled waving. "Wait a second, where's Sora?"
"He's still in the hospital." Yuzu answered worried.
Asriel gasped in horror hearing that.
"What kind of monster would do something like that to a little kid? Just what's going on?" Chara asked before glancing to the field where the next duel was about to start.
They turned to see. Hector was dueling a young man in robes.
"Who's Hector dueling?" Yuya asked.
"I don't recognize him, but I think he's from the Abracadabra Academy." Tatsuya answered.
"Abracadabra Academy?" Asriel asked confused.
"They're dueling magicians." Ayu answered.
"Magicians?" Frisk asked surprised. "That sounds cool."
"You have a good point." Asriel smiled as they turned to watch the match.
Hector asked the student, "So who are you?"
"Theodore, now after you." the student stated calmly.
With that they get ready.

"I'm familiar with the card." Theodore noted. "Though I can't say I expected a ritual duelist."
"Well now I activate said spell." Hector said playing the spell he added.

'Alright, which one is he going to summon?' Theodore thought.
"And now I sacrifice Ritual Raven." Hector called as a black raven appeared before vanishing.
Theodore frowned seeing that. "That's great."

Theodore's eyes widened before looking around and noticing an Action Card. "There!"
The blob appeared before what appeared was a copy of the Spellcaster as Hector ran for his own. Theodore picked up the card only for his eyes to widen. "No, I can't use this one."
The mirage spellcaster charged. Both monsters charged before forming orbs of magic and destroying each other.
"I set one card and end my turn." Theodore frowned.
Hector 2nd Turn:
Hector drew before saying, "I play Impcantation Penciplume effect in my hand."
Theodore frowned hearing that.

"And with that Hector Belmont advances ahead!" Nico announced.
"He'll be tough to beat." Yuya admitted.
"Yeah." Frisk nodded in agreement.
Hector told Theodore, "Overconfidence can lead to bad things. That's why you should never be cocky."
"I know, but sometimes even a magician gets the wrong card." Theodore said revealing an Acceleration card. "Congratulations on your win."
Hector nodded as he said, "GG."
Theodore nodded back before walking off. Hector walked back to his spot. Suddenly Tatsuya's duel disc started beeping.
"Huh?" Tatsuya asked surprised.
"I guess you're up next. Good luck." Yuya smiled.
Tatsuya nodded before he walked down the stairs not before giving Chara a pat on the back before walking down. Standing opposite Tatsuya was Reira but he looked nervous.
"You alright?" Tatsuya asked him.
"I'm fine." Reira said quickly.
Tatsuya nodded as he got ready.
Meanwhile…
"I take it you weren't fond of my gift?" Reiji inquired.
"You know as well as I do that I know you were messing with me!" Shun yelled. "Placing my hometown as an Action Field!?"
"It was necessary to reveal the spy from the Fusion Dimension." Reiji stated calmly.
"You did give me a Fusion Duelist but I feel like your messing with me!" Shun yelled.
"Would you prefer to go after Fusion duelists at random? The simple fact is I led you directly to the person you were after. You remember what I want from you in exchange correct?" Reiji asked.
"Yeah I do remember." Shun answered.
Reiji just nodded. 'Still, something strange is going on with her...' "I'll be back soon."
With that he walked out of the room. Shun looked on as he grunted.
