Level Rising: Dark Times -- Announcement
Level Rising: Dark Times -- Announcement
By Copper Thrice
Well, readers, it's been a long haul since the first Level Rising chapter and I'm glad for all the views, but you see…
I've kinda hit a wall as to how I should continue Dark Times.
So, I'm going to write a new story which will transfer the character Jake Parion and his Level monsters over into Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's. Since I haven't seen too much of 5D's don't expect a load of cameos, but it will be set in Neo Duel Academy and Neo Domino City.
Dark Times original plot will become a sub-story that will unfold in Jake's memory.
For those of you who haven't seen 5D's don't worry, I'll ease ya into the entertaining yet ridiculous plot. All you really need to know is that duels take place on high speed motorbikes and in a dismal future setting. For more info, check Wikipedia.
Here's a sample of the future fanfic currently known as Level Rising: Finality.

On Neo Duel Academy, Jake woke from his troubled sleep and got changed into his uniform.
Placing his Deck in his Duel Disk, he walked out to the Duel Ring.
At the coliseum-like arena, he found some students gathering around what looked like a motorcycle attached to a hologram system and Disk port. After listening to the students' conversation about the bike, he finally spoke.
"So, let me get this straight," Jake said examining at the D-Wheel, "You guys play Duel Monsters on motorbikes while going a hundred miles per hour?"
"Well," said one girl with a Ra Yellow uniform, "That's not exactly right."
Jake sighed with relief inwardly.
"Yeah," said a male Ra student, "Usually we average at a good two-hundred miles per hour. That's when things get reeeaaalllly interesting." Some kids started laughing.
"Ah, great," said the materializing duel spirit of Mystic Swordsman, "'High Speed Duels'? Yeesh. Pegasus would be rolling in his grave… I mean… seriously!"
"Yeah, I know," Jake muttered to the small swordsman on his shoulder, "It sounds stupid."
"Hey, what was dat?!" said a muscled Ra student appearing into the arena. He wore a sleeveless blazer and a headband which had a lion picture on its center. He also had a definite aura of authority about him. "Whatcha say, new kid?"
"Man, he heard that?" asked Mystic Swordsman, "Guy's got ears like a bat. Looks like the personality of a bulldog too." Jake shot him a look. "What, he can't see me, let alone hear me. What's he gonna do?"
"Quit lookin over yer shoulder and look a me, new kid!" said the student. "The name's Ryan Leo and I won't let some punk insult my game."
Jake sighed, even in the future he was surrounded by Duel Monster Nutcases. These people need a hobby… One that doesn't involve card games and/or motorbikes.
"I challenge you to a duel," said Ryan.
Big surprise, Jake thought.
"I win and you polish my bike and disk fo the rest of da semester," Said Leo crossing his arms, "You win an I won't get in yo face no more."
"This guy needs less Duel Theory and more grammar classes," said the Mystic Swordsman mimicking Ryan's pose. Jake grinned at the Duel Spirit.
"Alright, I accept," Jake said activating his Duel Disk. Then he saw Ryan walking away from him… And towards the D-Wheel garage. "Wa-wait! Jake yelled, "Where are you going?"
"Ta get a D-Wheel, ya moron," Said Leo, "I'll show ya how good my deck is…" Here he gave a toothy grin, "On the race track."
Crap, Jake thought.
"What's the issue, Jake?" the Mystic Swordsman asked.
"I, uh…" Jake whispered, "I, uhm…" Jake started getting shaky and a knot tid in his stomach.
"Spit it out, man," said the Swordman, "What's da problem?"
Jake sighed, "I… never learned how to ride a bike…"
To be continued…
