Me: Hello there people! Sorry it took a while, I was busy and suddenly my teachers just dump all that homework on me!

Astral: We don't own Yugioh Zexal or Yugioh Zexal II.

Me: Yeah! That's right! Anyway, here's the chapter!

Chapter 6: A Louder Than Usual Day

"So Kotori," Yuma asked. "How did you guys get here?"

"Because of this." Shark tossed Yuma the Emperor's Key. "Kaito managed to open a portal to you with this."

Yuma smiled and put the Key back around his neck. "Cool!"

"Anyway, Yuma. Do you know where this is?" Kaito asked. "My computer system went haywire when it tried to figure out what world this is. This isn't our world, or the Astral or Barian world."

"Really?" Yuma stared at him. "So, this really is a different world altogether?"

"You didn't know that when you came?" Shark looked at him.

"I didn't exactly come on choice! There was this light inside the Key and then me and Astral were suddenly here! Then Sarah said something about us being a TV show but that didn't make any sense at all but there was nowhere else to go so we've been staying here."

"Uhhh, okay, I think I'm better." Sarah said as she walked back into the room holding her head. "I think I'm starting to accept this craziness. Yeah, Yuma, Kotori, Shark and Kaito are standing in my room. Sure. I think I can live with this."

"How do you know us?" Shark asked suspiciously.

Sarah stared at him and sagged. "Oh gods do I have to explain all this again?"

"That is likely. After all, they want to understand as well." Astral said.

"Understand what?" Kotori looked at Astral, then at Sarah.

"Uh….."

-onelongexplanationlater-

"You expect us to believe that?!" Shark yelled.

"That makes no sense!" Kotori added.

"I know, I still don't get it!" Yuma said.

"You're not really helping…." Sarah said. "But yeah, you don't have to believe it, but that's what's happened. You guys are characters in a tv show here, which is why I know of you guys. And something happened that let you come here that I do not know about. So, that's about it."

"We've been searching a week for you and you turn out to be in this place!" Shark said. "And then you make up some weird excuse on how—"

"Wait," Yuma stopped him. "Did you say I was gone for a week?"

"He's only been here for a day." Sarah said.

"But it took Kaito-san a week to track down this place and open a portal here." Kotori said. "You're saying you've only been here for a day?"

"Perhaps time travels here differently than back in our world." Astral said.

"I still don't believe it." Shark said, his arms crossed.

Kaito was standing at the back. "Orbital! Run a scan on this world." He said.

"Confirmed!" There was some beeping noises, then a piece of paper printed from a slot in Orbital's middle. Kaito took the paper and read it over.

"She's right. We're in some sort of other world. Things are very different here." He said once he was done reading. "But we can go back to our world now that we've got Yuma. Orbital! Open the portal to our world again!"

"Uh…." Orbital began running through his circuits. "Well, Kaito-sama, it seems that—"

"You mean to say you didn't plan a way back?" Kaito glared threateningly at his servant. "That we're stuck here because of your incompetence?"

Orbital began sweating furiously.

"Oh, so this is where you've been." Sarah's mom walked into the room. "You'd better get unpacked after the trip to get here."

"What?" Sarah stared at her mom.

"Your cousins. They just came for a visit. Sorry we couldn't pick you up at the airport."

"Uh, don't worry about it!" Kotori said, smiling uncomfortably. "It was no trouble."

"Well okay. I've already gotten rooms ready for you." Then the mom walked out of the room.

"Cousins?" Shark looked at Sarah.

"I dunno! She said that about Yuma when he first came too!"

"Well this is annoying." Kaito said. "I'm going to go set up a lab here to see if I can find a way back." Then he walked out of the room.

"Um," Sarah stared at the remaining three and Astral. "I guess, you should get settled down until Kaito finds a way back."

They walked out of the room. None of them noticed the Barian's Force card disappear.

-skippingtodinnernow-

"Uh…." Eight people were sitting around the dinner table with a plate of spaghetti and meatballs for each person.

"What is this?" Yuma poked at the spaghetti with his fork. "I've never seem something like this before."

"It is strange." Kotori added.

"It's spaghetti and meatballs." Sarah said. "You eat it with the fork. It's good, so just don't worry about it."

"Don't you guys have Duel Fuel?" Yuma asked.

"Yuma. That's pretty rude." Shark hissed at him.

"Just eat it." Kaito said and began eating it. "It's still food."

The little girl sitting next to Sarah tugged at her sleeve. "Hey Sarah, did we always have this many cousins?"

Sarah sighed as she watched Yuma and Kotori argue over the food some more. "We do now, Ana. We do now."

"By the way," Sarah's dad turned to Kaito. "Why is there a whole bunch of new equipment in my office?"

"I need a place to set up and research. You can use the dining room." Kaito said as he ate his dinner.

"U-Uh—"

"Oh just go with it." Sarah said to her dad.

"Sure?"

"Hey these are pretty good!" Yuma yelled as he stuffed more into his mouth. "These Duel Noodles are pretty good!"

"Yuma, they're called Spaghetti!" Kotori scolded.

"I think they should be called Duel Noodles!"

"Where'd you come up with that name?!" Shark asked.

"Well, these are noodles, and I love dueling!"

Sarah stared at the arguing and smiled. "Wow. Just wow."

-linebreakofsomesort-

"It's not my fault I couldn't get the homework done!" Yuma complained as he, Kotori, and Sarah walked down the road to school. Kotori was going to transfer to their class so she would have something to do during the day. Shark had transferred to the nearby high school, and Kaito was at Sarah's house researching with Orbital a way to get back home.

"You were eating spaghetti all night and you say it's not your fault?!" Kotori said.

"Hey, they were good!"

"But you spent the entire night eating! You could have done something else!" Sarah said. "I honestly don't get how you stomach down all that food."

"It wasn't that much—"

"Move move move move move!" Someone yelled from behind them. They turned around just in time to see the person slam into Yuma, sending them both flying.

Yuma rubbed his head as he got up. "What was that for?!"

The boy got up too. He had orange hair that pointed to the back and purple eyes. "Oh! You're Tsukumo Yuma!"

"Wha?" Yuma stared at him.

"You're the winner of the WDC, Tsukumo Yuma!"

"The….WDC?" Sarah stared at him.

"Didn't you say the WDC didn't happen in this world?" Kotori asked her.

"It didn't."

"I'm a huge fan of yours!" The boy said excitedly.

"Uh, sure. I was just getting to school now and—"

"That's right!" The boy jumped up. "We can't be late for school! Come on!" Then he grabbed Yuma and they both ran down the street at top speed.

"Uh…" Kotori and Sarah looked at each other. "I guess we're on our own?"

"Yup." They continued walking to school.

-sometimelater-

"We have two new transfer students today." Sarah's teacher announced in class.

"Another one?" The girl sitting next to Sarah whispered to her. "There was one yesterday and now there's two today!"

"Yeah. We sure are getting a lot of weird transfers." She whispered back.

"The first is Tori Meadows." Kotori walked through the door to the front of the class. She bowed politely to everyone.

"Hello there. My name is Tori Meadows. I hope we can all be friends." She said. The boys in the class blushed.

"S-She's cute." Sarah heard a boy near her whisper.

"And our second transfer student—"

"Hello everyone!" The boy from before pushed open the door and yelled. "The great Yuma, winner of the WDC, has arrived!" He was carrying Yuma, who looked completely winded out.

"Y-Yuma?!" Sarah stared.

"What happened?" Kotori asked. "You two left before us and you arrive after us!"

"I didn't know where the school was, so I was around the entire city trying to find it!" The boy said, still smiling. "And now I finally found it!"

"Who are you?" The teacher asked, still in shock.

"Oh! Right!" The boy laughed and dropped Yuma as he scratched the back of his head. "My name's Rei Shingetsu and I just transferred here today!"

The entire class stared at him.

"Well," Astral said, "this is what I am assuming you call awkward."

-linebreakofsomesort-

"The plan was to separate that Yuma and Astral from the rest of his friends by sending him to a distant world, weakening them." Someone said. "But they've made it here by themselves. Oh well, I can still make this work. With the power of Barian…"

Me: And now Rei's joined the group as well! How's this gonna turn out?! I wonder!

Astral: You know.

Me: Nah, I'm guessing about Rei. But I figured might as well add him in! He's funny! Anyway, favourite, follow, review, see you again!
