Hey guys! Good to do some more fanfiction, been ages since I've updated this story. Now here's the situation, beacuse Arc-V is coming to a close, I've decided to finish this story with one last chapter. I'm sorry if you were expecting Aero to go with Yuya and the Lancers to different dimensions, but I feel that it will be doing Roxas in 5Ds or Roxas in GX all over again. Plus with VRAINS coming soon, I would rather do a story there, (if it's any good) and also, I would like to work on less stories. Less stressful.

Sorry for making this story short, but please understand. Hope you all enjoy, fav and review!


Chapter 9 - The Show Must Go On

"So, let me get this straight. My lookalike is named Yuto and he's trying to save his home from a group of soldiers who are turning people into cards?" Aero explained about Yuto and what he's currently doing to Yuya. Yuya was interested at first, but when he heard about what Duel Academy are doing, he looked upset. Aero nodded to Yuya's understanding. "B-but why? Duels aren't meant to hurt people, they're to make people smile and have a fun time! For something like that to happen, I won't forgive it!" Yuya's hands became clenched to fists, Aero knew that Yuya didn't like violence in duels and hearing this made the both of them upset. "He said he was looking for someone... his comrade's sister, Ruri".

Yuya seemed to calm down a little, as his hands unclenched. "Ruri?" Aero continued. "I don't know much about her, except that she was kidnapped by Duel Academy". Yuya didn't like the sound of that, but he wanted to help any way he can. "I'll help out this Yuto guy with finding Ruri". Aero held his hand out. "No, I'll go help Yuto find Ruri, you just concentrate on the qualification duels. If Duel Academy are going to invade this place, you gotta be prepared to face them". Yuya seemed left out, but he had to agree with Aero. "Okay Aero, I understand. But inform me if anything happens, I want to help out Yuto and Ruri too!" Aero nodded with a smile. "Thanks for understanding, now let's get some sleep". Both Aero and Yuya tuckered themselves in and were out like lights.

An hour later...

Everything in the room was pitch black, nothing but small movements from the two beds. Well, the one bed and sleeping bag. But the room suddenly had a small white glow, it was coming from Aero's deck. Its glow was dim enough so that Aero thought it was bright, but Yuya was looking the other way and thought it was light from either the window or hallway. Even if the glow was annoying Aero from his sleep, he ignored it and turned the other way. Aero thought he could get away from the glow, but in his dream he was having became a white glow until the whole landscape was white.

Aero covered his eyes as it was almost blinding for him, but his eyes slowly got used to it. He slowly put his arm down and it seemed that his eyes got better as he regained his vision. Aero looked around the room he was in, the floor was a solid white, but the walls and ceiling were very foggy with mist. It wasn't cold or wet, so Aero was happy enough that he wasn't getting wet, but he still wondered where he is. "What is this place?" Aero wished that someone could answer his question, instead of asking himself. Not a sound was made. Seeing that Aero was getting no answers, he started to walk forward. But a blue shape started forming in front of him.

It was first of all big in size, about seven times as tall as Aero was. Also, it was transparent and had one block of colour, no shade, no pattern, nothing. But the shape was slowing changing, the size and shape stayed the same, but it soon formed shades and patterns in the form of a dragon. Aero recognised the dragon immediately. "Sonic Boom Dragon? What are you doing here? Is this a dream?" The dragon nodded a little. "Yes, it's me. Sonic Boom Dragon or Sonic Boom. I have entered your dreams, because I have something important to tell you". Aero got a little surprised at Sonic Boom Dragon talking, but with a deck full of duel spirits, it wasn't very surprising, just that the voice seemed young.

"You have something important to tell me? This must be important if it's coming from my strongest synchro monster. What's the matter?" Sonic Boom Dragon didn't seem to show it, but he liked the compliment of him being the best synchro monster. "I have detected a being back on Mobius, a being that has the same level of Chaos Energy as you do Aero". Aero seemed confused, is Sonic Boom Dragon talking about Sonic or Shadow? Or is this a new being entirely? "What do you mean Sonic Boom? If you're talking about Sonic and Shadow, I already know that they have Chaos Energy".

Sonic Boom Dragon explained. "No, you misunderstood Aero. I looked at Sonic and Shadow's Chaos Energy levels many times, but I found something or someone new that has Chaos Energy at much a higher level, a level that is close to or equal to yours". Now Aero understood why the 'something' Sonic Boom Dragon wanted to talk about was important. This being could be in danger, if someone like Eggman took him or her away. Aero became shocked, but immediately nodded. "Okay Sonic Boom, where is this being?"

Sonic Boom Dragon's head went down low. "Here's the thing, it's back on Mobius. But you have to go tomorrow morning before it's too late". Aero took a step back as he knew one thing. "But, that would mean...!" Sonic Boom Dragon added, "It's your last night with Yuya". Aero closed his eyes and looked down on the floor, since he had been on these amazing adventures to these different worlds, he hated saying goodbye to the people he has met. "I'm sorry Aero". Aero put his goggles on and looked up at Sonic Boom Dragon. "I'll be okay, I've got something planned to make this less unbearable". Sonic Boom Dragon seemed pleased. "You've grown since we first met, I will see you in the morning".


Aero slowly opened his eyes from the white dream room, to a pitch black bedroom. Trying to not make much noise, Aero sat upright from his sleeping bag and looked around the room to make his eyes adjust to the dark light. Aero looked at Yuya to see if he was awake, but he slept like a log. Aero smiled a little, but he looked to his left at his deck. He told Sonic Boom Dragon that he had a plan to make his goodbye to Yuya less unbearable, he was going to regret it a little, but in some ways, he had many copies of it anyway. Aero took the specific card out and laid it on Yuya's bedside table. 'I'm sorry Yuya...' Aero sneaked out of the bedroom successfully and the card he left behind as a parting gift, was the field spell, Mobius.

It took a couple more minutes to sneak out of the house, but Aero left the house successfully. He had his duel disk on his arm and the only thing that belonged to him in Yuya's house, was that card he left behind. When he was at a good distance, he took one last glance at the house. "Sorry Yuya, but once this is all over, I'll come back for one last performance. Promise". Aero looked away from the house and moved forward, he put the headphones he left dangling on his neck and listened to a couple of tracks. One track made him want to sing along to.

Maybe you should make your mind up

I can see your love fall out of line

And I'm scared that you're a time bomb

And that I'm the one who's crossed your wires

Sleeplessly I'm reaching out

Hoping that your heart stays fixed on mine

Steadily I seek it out

Waiting for an answer to align

Maybe you should make your mind up

Break away from your inclosure (yeah)

If you're feeling like you're tied up

Maybe you should think it over (over, over)

Where to begin? Where do I begin?

How can I try to find the words to enclose your head?

Where to begin? Where do I begin?

Aero cheered up a little after singing that song and it seemed that his Mobian Heroes liked it, as all five of them, (or six if you count the twins seperately) appeared around him. "That's a great song! What was that called?" Aero smiled at all of them. "It's 'Inclosure' by Alex Vargas, it seemed like a fitting song for this situation". Aero continued to walk forward, he didn't know where he was going, but he was heading for Central Park. "Well we all liked it, um... we heard the news from Sonic Boom Dragon. sorry about Yuya man". Aero nodded a little, but looked on the bright side. "Like I said Scrap, whatever this being is and this problem is dealt with, we'll go see Yuya and the guys again".

Aero had been walking for about twenty minutes and approached a big land of green, there is a patio and light yellow gravel pathways. "Is this Miami City's Central Park?" Aero walked towards the patio, to see if there was a place to sit, but a sudden green light was shown near him. "What's that?" The light was getting brighter, until something came out of it. It made a tire screeching sound, until it came to a stop, the only sound was the exhaust steam coming off the object. The steam cleared away and a voice spoke up. "Ow, what I am doing here?" The figure who said that had a riding suit on, it was mostly white in colour and had a helmet on. The helmet was white, yellow and dark blue in colour, the figure removed it and looked at Aero. "Jeez".

Aero gasped at the figure, the figure had blue and yellow spiky hair, but what made Aero gasp was that his face looks exactly like Yuya's. 'Another Yuya lookalike? What's going on?' The figure looked at Aero confused. "Who are you?" Aero was still shocked at the newcomer's face, but he forgot about that and noticed that the figure sat on a seat of something that was familiar. "Is... is that a D-Wheel?! Oh wow, this is so cool!" The figure got annoyed that Aero didn't answer the question. "Hey! I asked you a question!" Aero was still fantasied about seeing another D-Wheel, but he heard the figure. "Sorry, it's just, very cool to see another D-Wheel. I'm Aero and you are?"

"My name is Yugo, are you the one responsible for taking Rin away from me?!" Aero's smile disappered. "Rin? I don't know any Rin". Yugo pointed at Aero. "Don't lie to me! My Clear Wing Synchro Dragon transported me here for a reason, to help me find Rin! You'll pay!" Yugo put back his helmet on and turned on his duel disk on his D-Wheel. "Aero, you have no choice but to duel him. He's probably to stubborn to listen to you". Aero nodded his head. 'Yeah, I noticed. It's quite exciting to face another D-Wheeler like this... good times'. "Okay Yugo, I'll duel ya. But let's make it a Turbo Duel".

Yugo looked at Aero confused. "But you don't have a D-Wheel". Aero looked ahead of him and saw a stop sign and a four-way street. "First one to turn right at that stop gets the first turn". Yugo became bewildered, this stranger Aero, was going to be in a Turbo Duel WITHOUT a D-Wheel. How is he going to do it? Counting with his fingers, Aero announced, "Three, two, one... Riding Duel, Accelaration!" Aero started running and even surprised by the speed Aero was going, Yugo started his engine and caught up to Aero. "DUEL!" Aero was getting close, but Yugo caught up with him very easily. 'He made it look easy or I'm losing my touch...'


Yugo - 4000

Aero - 4000

Yugo's Turn

"I activate Hi-Speedroid Kendama's effect! By banishing one Speedroid from my Graveyard, I can inflict 500 damage to you!" Yugo banished Terrortop and Kendama shot a light beam to Aero, Aero jumped to avoid massive damage, but still lost some life points. "I set a card face down. Turn end".

Aero - 3500

Aero's Turn

'I'm already taking life points even though it's his first turn? This guy is good...' Aero drew the card, Team Chaotix's Team Attack.

Yugo's Turn

"Draw! Kendama, attack his monster! When this card attacks a Defense Position monster, it inflicts damage to you for the difference from its attack points to your monster's defense points!"

"This negates your attack, then puts back face down ready to use for another time! But I can only do this once per turn". Yugo cringed his teeth. "I set one card down and end my turn".

Aero's Turn

"You know Yugo..." Yugo looked at Aero, wondering what he had to say. "...if your monster didn't have that piercing effect, I would have let you destroy my monster, but now you're asking for it!" Aero drew the card, Espio. 'Finally, some luck...' "I summon Espio!"

Espio - ATK 1300 DEF 1500 LV3 Reptile / Effect - EARTH

"By removing his counter, I'm not gonna activate his effect, I'm gonna activate this handy spell card! It's called Sonic Dash Collect and what it does is that by removing a Speed Counter from one of my mobians, I get to draw two cards!"

Sonic Dash Collect - Normal Spell

'C'mon guys, respond to me!' Aero drew the first card, Master Emerald and the second card was Elemental Hero Mobian Gleam Thief. 'Well this a change, ready Gleam?'

Charmy - 0SC

Wave - 2SC

"Now that all of the summoning is done, Gleam Thief, attack Hi-Speedroid Kendama!" Yugo wondered why Aero would attack if the attack points of his monster were lower. "Why would you do that? Kendama has more attack points than yours does!" Aero smiled. "You better double check that". Yugo did so and noticed the huge increase in attack points. "How did his attack points increase like that?" Aero chuckled a little. "I forgot to explain that, except himself, he gets 300 more attack and defense points for each mobian on my field!"

Elemental Hero Mobian Gleam Thief - 2800 ATK

Gleam Thief swinged his hammer to the side of Kendama with full force, but it got deflected somehow. "Activate Trap Card, Speed Turn!"

Knuckles, attack Kendama! Knuckles gains 400 attack points when he declares an attack!" Knuckles charged in and jumped towards Kendama, he held his fist forward and they both clashed, destroying each other. "Thanks Knuckles... due to his destruction, Bonus Ring gets a Speed Counter! Espio, attack Yugo directly!"

Yugo - 2700

"I could activate Bonus Ring now, but I'll leave it for now. I end my turn".

Yugo's Turn

"My turn! Draw! I summon Speedroid Double Yo-Yo!" A spiky-sided green yo-yo came to the field.

Speedroid Double Yoyo - ATK 1400 DEF 1400 LV4 Machine / Effect - WIND

If this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 Level 3 or lower "Speedroid" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it.

"When this is Summoned, I can Special Summon a Speedroid monster from my Graveyard! Come forth, Tri-Eyed Dice!" The four-sided dice came back beside the green Yo-yo, Aero looked at the monsters Yugo had, but he then heard a roar nearby. Aero wondered what could have made that noise, but he continued to concentrate on the duel. "Here it comes! I tune my level four Double Yoyo with my level three Tri-Eyed Dice! Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings, and strike down our enemies in lightspeed! Come forth, level seven, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" The dragon was mostly white and black in colour, but it made a roar that Aero had just heard.

If this card's effect destroys a monster, this card gains ATK equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK until the end of this turn.

'That was the roar from earlier... is this Yugo's ace card?' Yugo continued on. "Next, I activate the spell, Speed Recovery!"

Speed Recovery - Normal Spell

"By using this, I can Special Summon a Speedroid monster from my Graveyard! Come back, Hi-Speedroid Kendama! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, attack Elemental Hero Mobian Gleam Thief!" Clear Wing flew up in the air and the spikes it had, glowed to a more brighter green. It dived down towards Gleam Thief. "I'll protect ya Gleam by activating Eggman Plan 7 again!" Clear Wing's attack was blocked off, but another attack was coming. "But you won't be saved by this one! Kendama attack Charmy again!" Aero narrowed his eyes, he knew he gonna do that and it was going to hurt a lot. Even if he jumped to avoid big damage, he still felt a lot of pain. "Turn end".

Aero - 2000

Aero's Turn

Aero was in big trouble, he was staring at two monsters with over 2000 attack points and all he has is a monster that used to be on 2800 attack points, but is now down to 2100 attack, Espio with zero Speed Counters and Wave with two Speed Counters that are useless, since Yugo has no more face downs. All he could hope for was a card that would save him. "I draw!" Aero was dreading on what the card could be, but when he saw it he was smiling. In fact, he was laughing with joy. "What's so funny?!" Aero stopped laughing. "It's just, I'm getting such good draws today!" Yugo looked worried. "I summon my two-tailed friend, Tails!"

If this card was Special Summoned by the effect of "Super Sonic", this card's ATK becomes 0 until your next Standby Phase.

"Tails can't attack this turn, but that's okay. For now, I use this spell called Mobian We Stand!"

Mobian We Stand - Quick-Play Spell

When a "Mobian" monster is Summoned to your side of the field, Special Summon 1 "Mobian" monster from your Deck or hand that has the same Level and attack points. You can only activate 1 "Mobian We Stand" once per turn.

"Since I Summoned Sonic to the field, this spell can summon another mobian monster, but it has to have the same level and attack as Sonic does! And I know just who to pick, I Special Summon Shadow!"

"I switch Elemental Hero Mobian Gleam Thief back to attack mode and now it's time to attack! Gleam Thief, time to get your revenge! Attack Kendama!" Gleam Thief made his revenge by swinging at full force at Kendama, it was destroyed in pieces. "Sonic, attack Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" Sonic jumped high in the air and did a full power homing strike on top of Clear Wing Synchro Dragon's head. The wind was too strong for Sonic, but the attack connected and they both disappeared. "Thanks Sonic... Shadow attack Yugo directly and end this duel!" Shadow Chaos Controlled behind Yugo and created a massive amount explosion known as Chaos Blast.

Yugo - 0

Aero - 2000


The D-Wheel slowed down until it came to a stop. Seeing the D-Wheel becoming slower, Aero stopped running and looked at Yugo. Yugo took off his helmet and looked directly at Aero. "If you're not after Rin, then why am I here?" Aero wondered about that too. Yugo said that his Clear Wing Synchro Dragon took him here, but why this place and this time? Could it have come here because of...him? Did it know that he would leave this place? "I think I get it now... Clear Wing Synchro Dragon came here, so that I could have my final duel here". Aero smiled and added, "Thanks for the duel, Yugo".

Aero walked away from Yugo and was heading towards the highway he had been to many times, but Yugo stopped him. "Wait, what do you mean?" Aero looked at Yugo, should Aero tell him where he came from? Maybe due to the fact that he was going to leave soon, he thought there was no harm in telling him. "I came from a far away place and I have a mission to go back there and find someone". Yugo wondered who this 'someone' is, was it the same guy he was looking for? "Did this someone have a face that looked like mine?" Aero stepped back a little in surprise. 'Another guy with the same face as Yuya? That's four now...' "Did this guy have grey or bright red eyes?"

Yugo looked down as he answered the question. "No, he had purple eyes and he's the one who took Rin away". Aero looked to the side. 'Yeah, he's new'. Aero shook his head. "Never seen him and I'm not looking for him, sorry". Aero looked away from Yugo. "I have to go, good luck with finding your friend". Aero walked quite a distance and just as he was about to exit, a green flash was shown in the area. Aero looked back to see Yugo vanishing as the flash dimmed away. Aero smiled, but turned and headed towards the highway.

After quite some time, Aero was at a good spot where he could see the horizon. He watched the horizon as he waited for his final hours in Miami City. "Sonic Boom Dragon, I'm ready. I'm ready to go back home and begin this mission". Sonic Boom Dragon appeared to Aero's left side as a duel spirit. "You are early... are you sure want to leave now?" Aero nodded his head. "Better to get it over and done with, so let's go". Sonic Boom Dragon seemed concerned, but happy at Aero's decision. "Well... if this is what you've decided, then let's go. First, summon your Sword of Chaos". Aero did so without heistation. "Now, I will take you to the point in time where you will be in contact with this being. Are you ready?" Aero answered, "Yes, let's go". Sonic Boom Dragon made a roar that seemed to have responded to the sword, it glowed white and when the glow dispersed, they both disappeared.


A Few Weeks Later...

Yuya had been feeling down ever since Aero had left, he was confused and also sad that he never saw Aero again. But after the night he left, Yuya noticed a card that was on his bedside table. It was the field spell card, Mobius. Yuya remembered their talk when Aero suggested he became 'brothers' and he mentioned where mobians came from. Seeing the card may have given Yuya a clue, did he go back to Mobius, his home? It was sad to agree, but he knew to keep people happy with his Entertainment Dueling, so he did just that.

But as the weeks went by and the Miami Championship coming up, Yuya was missing Aero. Yuya wanted to be alone from his friends and made his way up the roof of the You Show Duel School. Yuya's friends were celebrating Yuya being qualified for the tournament, and Yuya was happy about it, but he wanted some time alone because he missed the only friend that wasn't there. Yuya fished out the card Aero left behind. 'Aero... when are you coming back?' Yuya looked down. 'Why did you leave?'

Yuya reached the door and opened it, he gasped at what he saw. It was a person, a male and the person was watching the sunset. The male was in his late teens, around 18 or 20. He has a red leather jacket with slate trimmings and a collar, he has very slight dark blue trousers that just reaches the top of his trainers. His hair is black and spiky at the back of his head, but the rest of his hair is down and short. The male has black fingerless gloves with two light blue gems on the seams and black trainers with a marine blue sole. The male also has a earpiece in his right ear. Yuya had never met this guy and he didn't spot him coming into the school.

"Who are you? How did you get here? You weren't with us when we came in!" The male turned and looked at Yuya, but something spooked Yuya about the male. He recognised the male's eyes. "Aren't you Yuya? The guy who beat Strong Ishijima?" Yuya tilted his head. "Yeah, don't I know you from somewhere? It's just your eyes remind me of someone". The male looked confused. "Really? Who? Maybe I'll know who it is". Yuya looked sad and looked at the card. "There is a friend of mine called Aero... if you see him, tell him I miss him".

The male looked worried at Yuya, but was curious on the card. "What's that card you're holding? Did your friend leave that behind?" Yuya nodded. "He left one night, but left this behind". The male sighed, it was time to get this over and done with. "Perhaps this friend of yours is closer than you think". Yuya looked confused. "What do you mean?" The male's earpiece responded quite loudly. "Aw c'mon Dad and just tell him!" The male held the earpiece away to prevent his ear from hurting. "Not too loud TG, you nearly hurt my ear!" It was a lot quieter as TG replied. "Oops, sorry". Yuya was getting impatient. "Tell me what?!" The male smiled and said, "Maybe this will clear things up".

The male held out his right hand out, nothing happened for a second, but a small flash of white appeared and a sword shown itself. A sword that sparked a memory in Yuya's mind. "Wait, isn't that..." It all became clear to Yuya, but he couldn't believe it. "Aero? Is that you?" The sword glowed green as the male became a white glow, the glow changed to a much more shorter shape and the glow died down to see the one friend Yuya wanted to see. "Hey old friend. It's been a while". Yuya had small tears in his eyes and gave Aero a big hug. "W-where have you been? I've looked everywhere for you!" Aero felt ashamed for making Yuya sad. "Let me explain why I left".

Yuya released the hug and listened to Aero's story. "All of this happened the night when you last saw me. My synchro monster, Sonic Boom Dragon told me in my dreams that very soon, there will be another being with the same Chaos Energy as me. Sonic Boom told me it wasn't someone I've met before and that I had to go back to Mobius, my home as soon as possible. I'm sorry that I left without saying goodbye". Aero closed his eyes, ready to take any punishment Yuya was going to give to him. "So is that why you left your Mobius field card? It was to give me a clue as to where you were going?" Aero nodded. "Yeah, now I want you to meet someone. The being I had to find". Aero used his earpiece. "TG, come up here and say hi".

Just after saying that, a golden three-point claw caught the rim edge of the school building. Then it made a retract sound as whoever used it wanted to get to the top really quickly. The being who used the claw used the momentum to make a huge leap up, the being dropped down next to Aero and looked at Yuya. "Yuya, this is my adopted son, Timegazer". Timegazer held out his hand to shake. "But you can call me TG if you like". Yuya shook his hand and questioned the name. "Wait, did you name him after one of my cards?" Aero giggled. "I knew you were gonna say that, I just saw what he looked like and immediately thought of your card".

Yuya gave a big grin and hugged the both of them. "I'm just glad you're back Aero, I thought I never see you again!" Aero released the hug. "I promised myself that I will come back to meet you again and here I am. So what's been happening around here?" Yuya looked back at the door. "Oh yeah, I should probably get back to my friends. We were celebrating me being qualified to enter the Miami Championship, wanna join us?" Aero was pleased with Yuya. "You've qualified for the championship? Nice one! Of course I will!" Aero ran down with TG following behind him and Yuya shouted out, "Wait for me, Aero!"


You see how smart that ending was? Since the story, Mobian Bond takes place after Roxas in Arc-V, I wanted to show Timegazer at least to show the connection between the stories. Hope you enjoyed the story and Arc-V in general. And remember...

THE FUN HAS JUST BEGUN!
