Arc VX Chapter 6: Return of Heart and Soul, a Yu-Gi-Oh GX + Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V Crossover fanfic

Chapter 6 - Return of Heart and Soul. Fallout.

-At a far off, unknown location, inside a young girl's mind.

"Clear Wing, do we have enough strength to carry out the plan? We need the possessor to go to Duel Academy. Kamito will be there, he'll be able to beat the fake me in a duel, and undo the possession" The girl says. The dragon nods "Lets do this" she says after.

-On the outside, at the unknown location.

"We have some interesting information" an unknown male voice says "It appears the shadows awoke to duel Kamito Kaiba, and they were defeated with very little effort" (Inside the mind of the girl nearby, a cheer is heard as well as a cry of "he's been searching all this time, hasn't he.)

In a slightly warped voice, a girl possessed by shadows says "Master, I would like to go to Duel Academy. If we don't get Kamito out of the way, he'll stop our plans to get the Sacred Beast cards with his power. Likely even the Sacred Beasts cannot match up to his Chaos Numbers, I would like to duel him, and either recruit him, or if that fails, eliminate him" (a scoff of "ha , as if you could eliminate my Kamito" is heard from inside the girls mind). The unknown man, obviously the one in charge replies "That is a good plan, Fate Testarossa was the only one to ever defeat him after all. You will leave immediately." The girl nods, grabs her duel disk and makes to leave. "See you seen, Kamito" she says, laughing maniacally.

-Back at Duel Academy, with Kamito

A loud BANG is heard from nearby. I wake up startled and rush to grab my duel disk. "Lockdown allow Hippo in and out. Keyword Onomatophobia". "I summon Entermate Discover Hippo"

Entermate Discover Hippo - Level 3 – Beast/Earth/Effect 800 Atk/800 Def

If you Tribute this card for a Tribute Summon, this card can be treated as 2 Tributes.

"Hippo, Don't be seen, find out what's going on and report back." I say to the adorable Hippo. "Hippo Hippo" he replies, nodding , saluting. I grab my PDA and pen a quick message to Alexis, though she's like, a room away, she might not be dressed, so I don't want to barge in.

What in the hell was that Bang, Sounded like a Battleship Cannon, best to wake up, its only 6am but if we need to bail at speed, its safer to be ready. Jumping in the shower, I'll be quick.

I head into the shower, and for once, actually rush, Taking all of 5 minutes. By the time I head out, Dry and dressed, I grab my mask and goggles, and check my PDA, finding a message from Alexis

I know right, scared the pants off of me. Thought you were experimenting with tech or something but if you don't know what it was either its best to be prepared. I'll have to head back to my dorm for clean clothes after 7. If anyone asks, I was out for morning exercise, its a decent cover story. Could have sworn I saw a Pink Hippo in a Top Hat and a Waistcoat run past, must be going crazy this early in the morning.

I laugh, Hippo does have a cool dress code. I drop her a quick reply.

That was Entermate Discover Hippo. Duel spirit. Sent him to investigate what was going on. Figured he could check things out quieter than I could during the day. When he gets back, I'll let you know what he says.

I say that, but Hippo runs through the door, looking panicked. "Hippo Hippo , Hippo!" Wait what, the Disciplinary Action Squad. What in the hell are they doing at this time of morning. I send Alexis another message, this time, a more urgent one.

The bang was the disciplinary action squad waking up the Slifers in order to take them into Campus Arrest. They were at the Abandoned dorm last night too. Be Combat ready in 10, Hippo thinks they might come here as well. I'll just fire that idiot woman if she thinks she can arrest me for doing what I have remit to do anyway, and you were kidnapped.

Alexis obviously received the message as I hear her shout "WHAT" before hearing her scramble to get ready. 5 minutes later she knocks on the door and says "Are you dressed, I don't want to walk in on you" I shout "Yeah been dressed for a while" and she opens the door.

"Follow me Lex, computer room. Need to check if they actually are coming here. Hippo thought they might based on what he heard. " She nods and follows along quickly, Duel Disk on her arm, deck in slot, Just the same as I did with mine. "Computer. Set scan, targets, Disciplinary Action Squad. Do not allow entry. Prepare defences if needed. " The computer registers the command. "Disciplinary Action Squad detected on approach vector. Requesting command" I sigh out loud, Should I just waste them with Odd-Eyes, or should I see what the idiots want. "Do not engage. Drop Lockdown to Entry only for myself and Alexis for the time being. Prepare for emergency departure if needed." The computer registers the command.

"Well Lex, lets go see what the idiots want." I manage to say through a large sigh. "Stay here. They don't know you're here, so we have an advantage for now. Play what edge we can." She nods in the affirmative.

I head out onto the deck of the boat and see the idiots on approach. "Kamito Kaiba, you breached the Campus rules by entering and searching the Abandoned Dorm. A staff member spotted you and reported it in. You are hereby ordered to turn yourself in for Campus arrest". An idiot woman shouts. Not now berserk mode, I'd kill all of them. My eyes are glowing dark purple in anger at the idiots. "Note the last name of the person you're trying to arrest and leave me the hell alone. Unless you WANT to be fired and incapable of getting a job anywhere again." I reply angrily " I have full permission from Seto Kaiba, my father, to fully explore the abandoned dorm for any clues to locate any of the missing students. Now drop this farce before I get really angry." I finish. These idiots, Summoning Odd-Eyes for real is starting to sound preferable right now. The idiot woman replies "I have orders, so you're coming with us or we'll take you by force. " Oh bring it on bitch. "Force huh? " I jump down, knocking out 4 of the guards and saying "I'll see how this farce plays out, but you are going to lose your job for this INCOMPETENCE. No one will stop my investigations" I follow the idiot, leaving the knocked out guards on the floor. The idiot isn't looking so I pen a quick PDA message to Alexis.

Code Red, placed under Campus arrest. Going to make them pay. Going to need a new disciplinary action squad. Might have broke 4 of them . Going to see how the farce plays out. If I send you a message after this one that has the numbers 432 in it. Press the phone on my computer and say that number into it. It'll notify Dad that incompetence at the academy is interfering with our primary goal and a lot of people will need to be replaced.

I put away my PDA before the idiot woman notices. I'm sent to a room, alongside the 3 Slifers, and the screens turn on , showing the idiot woman, Crowler, Banner and Sheppard.

I yell at them "SHEPPARD, this farce ends now. Seto Kaiba himself gave me permission to do as is required to find the missing students, why was I arrested by the incompetent idiot along with the Slifers. I only even went to the dorm yesterday to investigate a scream. I ran into the high grade criminal, Titan. He won't be bothering anyone for a long time. That's for sure." Banner, ever the idiot, I might kill him one day, says "Kaiba gave us the authority to do as we see fit with the academy, and you broke the rules, so like the Slifers, you will be punished. A Tag duel was what was decided for Jaden and Syrus, Crowler will be providing opponents for them, you will face their opponents first" Berserk mode kicking in , very near full force now, its hard to hold it back at the minute "2 versus 1? Heh, Like I'm worried" Crowler, ever protective of his blues says "That wouldn't be sporting or fair would it. You may have your choice of tag partner , whether that be Miss Rhodes who you hang out with often, or the older Mr Truesdale." My rage slightly drops, Crowler is at least on my side "I was against you being punished, you were only trying to find Ms Testarossa, or a clue to her location after all, but I was overruled by the incompetent head of Slifer, and the head of the disciplinary action squad. So I at least made it fairer for you." If you aren't a Slifer, Crowler is good to you. "Thanks Crowler. I'll submit the partner name In a week" He nods and says "Duel is in 2, the opponents likely won't be a problem for you anyway" I leave, as does Jaden and the other 2. I check my PDA, message from Lex, Title – Urgent – Defcon 1. I check out the message

Boat NOW, Get your D-wheel. Computer was yelling at me and said "ALERT, Custom duel disk detected – registered to Fate Testarossa. Clear-Wing Synchro Dragon spirit signature detected." FATE IS LIKELY ON THE ISLAND. Everything else can take a back seat for now

So the shadows really weren't kidding. I am seeing her soon. I run as fast as I humanly can back to my boat. I wait till no one is around , ignoring Jaden complaining about the unfairness of the punishment and activate my duel disk. Infusing duel energy into the card to summon it for real "I Summon Entermate Discover Hippo" Hippo appears with a "Hippo Hippo" I tell Hippo the plan "Hippo, I need a fast lift to the boat. Fate might be here." Hippo nods and drops to all fours, I jump onto his back and he takes off at speed.

We reach the boat in a matter of 3 minutes, not caring if we were seen (it turns out we weren't but it didn't matter) I thank Hippo and he dismisses himself. I run to the D-wheel Room and yell "Computer, send location of Clear-Wing signature to D-wheel computer." The computer beeps in the affirmative. Obelisk duelling arena is the location. I yell to Alexis "LEX, OBELISK DUEL ARENA, Hop on" She does , Lockdown mode is still only allowing us anyway so we bolt off at high speed

Hitting the afterburners and going at the full speed my D-wheel is capable of, I arrive at the Obelisk duelling arena to see a crowd gathering. A blonde girl, with an eye mask (likely the source of possession) beautiful , a black and red cape, with a dark coloured schoolgirl uniform, with a short skirt. "FATE" I yell. She turns to me and says, "Ara Ara, you DID get here fast. I'm not Fate, but I am possessing her. Duel me Kamito, And you can either be together with your precious Fate. Or perish at her lovely hands."

"You know, if you duel me, you, possessor , will be destroyed, right?" She nods and says "only if you win Kamito, only if you win" Oh , I WILL WIN. I will have her back if it kills me. And against an evil spirit with Fate's skills, it might.

"LETS DO THIS" Berserk mode kicking in, it knows how badly I need this as well.

Duel Start - Kamito 4000 LP - Possessed-Fate 4000 LP

The Possessor pulls out a coin and says "Your call" , I yell "Tails" It lands on heads "Heads. First moves yours Kamito."

The scales 3 and 8 means he can special summon any number of Level 4 to 7 Monsters simultaneously, once per turn. I guess its part of his deck." Zane ever the logical head, not that I care about that right now. I can't afford to hold back against Fate. If I hold back even slightly, she'll crush me. I have to win. I will save you Fate. I swear it.

"With the Level 4 Entermate Silver Claw and the Level 4 Entermate Whip Viper I BUILD THE OVERLAY NETWORK"

"Battle! Clear Wing, Attack Hammer Mammoth. Whirlwind Hell Dive Slash!" Poor Mammoth, he explodes into particles

Kamito LP 3500 – 1900 = 1600

A shard of floor cracks and slams into my goggles, breaking them, but protecting my eyes, I discard them and my mask at this point. Showing my face to the world once more.

"Ara Ara, there's the cute guy everyone remembers, finally showing yourself" Possessed-Fate mocks. My eyes are glowing purple at this point, people kind of notice that .

"Alexis you spend the most time with him out of any of us, any idea why his eyes are glowing?" Zane asks her and She shrugs and says "Nope, Not a clue"

I hear Mindy say "Damn, he's hot. Always wondered if his face was as hot as his body, and now we know it is.. Not sure why his eyes are glowing though, that cant be normal" Alexis says "Easy there Tiger. Assuming he wins this duel and frees her, he'll have his girlfriend/love/likely future wife back" Jasmine says "Star crossed lovers." They know nothing of our pain.

I overhear Ms Fontaine yell "Glowing eyes isn't a normal medical symptom, I'll have to look that one up" And see Crowler shrug and say "I don't know, it adds to his mystique."

"Makendama, Attack Numbers 101, Can't allow him to have 2 overlay units after all" Zane hears this and says "So he won't be able to use its effect. Clever. Though he was likely using it for defence anyway." I nod at that.

"I detach 1 overlay unit from Numbers 101 to negate its destruction" Possessed-Fate nods, having known that already.

Kamito LP 1600 -100 = 1500.

"I set a facedown and end my turn." She says.

Turn 3 – Kamito

"I DRAW" That'll work. Buy me a turn at least.

"Never seen Kamito struggle this much in a duel, Fate really is as good as him. He's going to need a really good draw to win this. " I hear Zane say. He's right. Joker or Odd-Eyes will do it. As will my field spell. I need Odd-Eyes to win this.

Possessed-Fate realizes I might have a plan and says "I activate the trap Compulsory Evacuation Device , forcing your Numbers 101 back to your hand."

"Not so fast. I activate my Facedown card. Rank-Up-Magic Quick Chaos!"

"With the Rank 4 Numbers 101 Silent Honour Ark I REBUILD THE OVERLAY NETWORK"

Possessed-Fate comments on this "Ara Ara, I feel the power coming from that card, you really are going all out to beat me " She mocks once more.

"I activate Numbers C101's Effect. I attach your Clear Wing Synchro Dragon as an Overlay unit."

"Clear Wing's Effect activates" Possessed-Fate says. Hah, she walked into that one "I negate C101's Effect and destroy it, gaining 2800 attack for Clear Wing. DICHROIC MIRROR!"

Clear Wing Synchro Dragon Attack 2500 + 2800 = 5300

"That you do" I nod, "But you can only do that once per turn" "As Numbers C101 had an Overlay unit when it was destroyed, I activate its Effect, Reviving it from the grave in attack position, and gaining Life points equal to its attack. RETURN FROM LIMBO"

Kamito LP 1500 + 2800 = 4300

"Now then, I activate C101's Effect again , as it's treated as a Separate summon to its other time. Attach Clear Wing as an Overlay Unit. Dark Soul Robber!"

Clear Wing becomes an overlay unit to C101, giving me an extra Level of protection. I'll likely need it.

Fissure – Normal Magic - Destroy the 1 face-up monster your opponent controls that has the lowest ATK (your choice, if tied).

"You're wide Open now!" Crap. Really am glad my LP is up by 3300, I have Juggler, I should be fine. Juggler doesn't target. Living on Borrowed time though, Banking on some kind of miracle draw to win now. This is going to hurt like hell.

"Hi-Speedroid Chanbarider, Attack Kamito Directly." "At this point Chanbarider's Monster Effect activates. It can attack twice per turn, and when it declares an attack, it gains 200 attack permanently!"

Hi-Speedroid Chanbarider Attack 2000 + 200 = 2200

Kamito LP 7100 – 2200 = 4900

"If these next attacks hit, Kamito loses" I hear someone say, Bastian, it sounded like. I hear Alexis say "He has a card in hand, it isn't over, it isn't over yet. Don't underestimate him. Kamito, you can do it." Her faith in me is astounding, and she's right, I've got at least one more good turn in me.

Possessed-Fate yells "Second Attack, Chanbarider!"

Hi-Speedroid Chanbarider Attack 2200 + 200 = 2400

Kamito LP 4900 – 2400 = 2500

"CLEAR WING SYNCHRO DRAGON, END THIS, ATTACK KAMITO DIRECTLY. WHIRLWIND HELL DIVE SLASH"

I hear the real Fate's Voice in my mind "Don't you give up! You can still win!" She's right. I WILL SAVE YOU FATE

Berserk mode fully takes over for long enough to snap me out of my state of mind. I emotionlessly say "I discard Entermage Damage Juggler from my hand to reduce the battle damage of the next attack to 0"

Possessed-Fate yells "Dammit, I thought I had you! You would have been one with the shadows"

"I end my turn!"

Turn 5 – Kamito

"I'm putting my heart and soul, my very existence, every essence of my being into this draw" I feel Fate, the real Fate, reaching out to draw with me inside my soul. "Heart and Soul, I DRAW!"

"YES!" My deck, you saved my life, and Fates, I thank you from the bottom of my soul. Everyone is shocked by my exclamation, to the viewers, it looks like I was about to lose.

Alexis smiles "I see he got the card he needed. I have a feeling he's about to win" Zane nodded, but Mindy and Jasmine still held their doubts saying "He's in a really bad position, can he really come back from this".

"One last time, Sway Pendulum of the soul, draw an arc of light across the ether. Pendulum summon. APPEAR, MY Monster ALLIES"

"2 Insight Magicians!" " "Appear now with your wondrous and beautiful dichromatic eyes. Odd-Eyes PENDULUM DRAGON"

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon – Scale 4 – Level 7 - Dragon/Dark/Pendulum/Effect 2500 Atk/2000 Def

Pendulum Effect

You can reduce the battle damage you take from an attack involving a Pendulum Monster you control to 0. During your End Phase: You can destroy this card, and if you do, add 1 Pendulum Monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each Pendulum Effect of "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" once per turn.

Monster Effect

If this card battles an opponent's monster, any battle damage this card inflicts to your opponent is doubled.

"With the 2 Level 4 Insight Magicians, I BUILD THE OVERLAY NETWORK"

"Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon"

Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon Rank 4 Dragon/Dark/XYZ/Effect 2500 Atk 2000 Def

You can detach 1Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up Monster your opponent controls; its ATK becomes half its current ATK, and if it does, this card gains that lost ATK.

Possessed-Fate decides to mock me again "I was wondering when he'd show up, Won't work though, Clear Wing's Effect will prevent you from using your precious Treason Discharge Effect" I smirk at that and say "Who says that was my plan." She looks shocked at this, the cards I'm about to use were printed after her disappearance so she won't know what they do.

"Magician of Destruction who watches over contrast, Unite the stars under your sharp judgement. Destruction Magicians Pendulum Effect. Once per turn, I can target an XYZ Monster, and give it a Level equal to its rank. Dark Rebellion becomes a Level 4.

Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon - Rank 4 - Level 4

"Magician of Creation who watches over harmony, Fill the heavens with stars with your Arcane powers!. Creation Magician's Pendulum Effect, Once per turn, I can change the Level of 1 Monster I control equal to the Level of a Level 5 or above Monster I control. I choose to make Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon the same Level as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. Making Dark Rebellion Level 7!"

Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon - Level 4 - Level 7

"Two Level 7s, so a Rank 7. but why use Dark Rebellion that way. " Possessed-Fate ponders out loud

"You'll see" I say, Darkly.

"With the Level 7 Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and the Level 7 Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon, I build the Overlay Network!"

"Dragon of dual coloured eyes. Unleash that black scale of wrath, eradicate all who would dare to oppose you. Xyz Summon! Come forth, Rank 7! Dragon whose eyes glow with Rage.! Supreme King Black Dragon – Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon!"

Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon - Scale 4 – Rank 7 - Dragon/Dark/Xyz/Pendulum/Effect
3000 Atk/2500 Def
Pendulum Effect
Once per turn, if you have no cards in your other Pendulum Zone: You can place 1 Pendulum Monster from your Deck in your Pendulum Zone.
Monster Effect
2 Level 7 Dragon-Type monsters
If you can Pendulum Summon Level 7, you can Pendulum Summon this face-up card in your Extra Deck. If this card is Xyz Summoned by using an Xyz Monster as a Material: Destroy as many Level 7 or lower monsters your opponent controls as possible, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent for each card destroyed, and if you do, this card can make 3 attacks during each Battle Phase this turn. If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can destroy as many cards in your Pendulum Zones as possible (min. 1), and if you do, place this card in your Pendulum Zone.

"OK, that monster is terrifying. It literally radiates power and energy." Alexis says out loud , and everyone around her says "Damn right" I chuckle darkly and say "You guys haven't seen anything yet. This is my souls true power. This is the power of those who would resist, those who would rebel."

"Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon's monster effect activates! When It's Xyz summoned with an XYZ Monster as Material, Its true power manifests. It destroys all Level 7 and below monsters on my opponents board, This doesn't target, and deals 1000 points of damage for each one destroyed. OVERLORD HOWLING" All 3 of Fates monsters. Menkoat. Chanbarider and Clear Wing all explode.

Possessed-Fate LP 3400 – 3000 = 400

"During the turn that its Overlord Howling effect is successful, it can attack THREE TIMES! "

"WHAT " I hear shouts from … A lot of people. I hear Crowler say "This is Kamito's true power. Duelling for Fate, he's duelling at a Level even Yugi wouldn't have been able to achieve." I appreciate the compliment. People seem aghast at Crowlers comment, but he isn't wrong. Fate and I have both beaten Yugi in the past.

"Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon. Attack her Directly. WRATH OF THE REVOLTING IMPERIALS, STRIKE DISOBEY! "

Possessed-Fate at this point says " I banish Three-Eyed Dice from my grave to negate that attack" I laugh darkly and say "And the other 2, How do you intend to block those, Ms Possessor" A Shadow Possessor actually looks terrified at this point, As it should. Now you will return her to me.

"Second and third attacks Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon, Attack her Directly WRATH OF THE REVOLTING IMPERIALS, STRIKE DISOBEY! "

Possessed-Fate LP 400 – 3000 – 3000 = -5400

DUEL END – VICTOR – KAMITO

"Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon, Purge the possessor , Give Fate her mind and body back" I infuse duel energy into Odd-Eyes Rebellion, I barely have any strength left at this point, but enough to save Fate, that's for sure. Odd-Eyes Rebellion approaches Fates collapsed form, Seeing a card with a Mask on it, The Soul of the Possessor, It removes it from Fate carefully, without hurting her, and then Fires its attack at the possessors soul card, destroying it utterly, before dismissing himself. I hear shouts of "That duel, it makes the Pro-scene look weak" and "How much power do those 2 possess." I cringe at the word possess, after what was just destroyed.

On the brink of collapse at this point, I walk over to Fate, she wakes up for a second and says "Kamito. Its you, its really you!" before we both collapse simultaneously.

AN - Major plot duel this time. Tight and close duel for the main character, relying on a single draw to win, About how it works.
– Changes - Anime Creation/Destruction (Because the Anime Versions are outright better) IRL Speedroids. IRL Clear Wing. IRL Crystal Wing. Buffed Bamboo Horse. IRL version would likely have been buffed anyway. Changed Edge Hammer, Jaden wastes that card the few times he uses it in the anime.

Decided to Bring Fate back early so I didn't need to make her an 8th shadow rider and could stop Kamito angsting over her, Plus, she is the other main character, having her missing for 75% of Part 1 would be silly. She can fight against the Shadow Riders instead of useless Crowler this way, with Kamito replacing Banner, all of the Keybearers will be actually capable of winning. Except Bastian, he's incompetent and lost to an awful duelist like Tania in canon.

Edit – Split the chapter in half, made more sense to end it where I changed it to than where I did before, fixed spelling, usual business. Afterwards, we will have new chapters soonish!
